territory from Tongue pt. to the neigh- 

 Ijorhood of Puget id. In 1806 Lewis and 

 Clark estimated their number at 300. 

 In 1849 Lane reported 58 still living, but 

 the}' are now extinct. They seem to 

 have had but one village, also known as 

 Cathlamet. As a dialect, Cathlamet was 

 spoken by a mnnl)er of Chinookan tribes 

 on both sides of the Columbia, extending 

 up the river as far as Rainier. It is re- 

 garded as belonging to the upper Chinook 

 division of the family. See Boas, Kath- 

 lamet Texts, Bull. 26, B. A. E., 1901.
