'•Some years ago the Smithsonian Institu- 

 tion printed a small vocabulary of the Chinook 

 Jargon, furnished by Dr. B. R. Mitchell, of the 

 U. S. Navy, and prepared, as I afterwards 

 learned, by Mr. Lionnet, a Catholic priest, for 

 his own use while studying the language at 

 Chinook Point. It was submitted by the 

 Institution, for revision and preparation for 

 the press, to the late Prof. W. W. Turner. 

 Although it received the critical examination 

 of that distinguished philologist and was of 

 use in directing attention to tlie language, it 

 was deficient in the number of words in use, 

 contained many which did not properly belong 

 to the Jargon, and did not give the sources 

 from which the words were derived. 



' ' Mr. Hale had previously given a vocabulary 

 and account of this Jargon in his ' Ethnography 

 of the United States Exploring Expedition,' 

 which was noticed by Mr. Gallatin in the 

 Transactions of the American Ethnological 

 Society, vol. ii. He however fell into some 

 errors in his derivation of the words, chiefly 

 from ignoring tlie Chehalis element of the Jar- 

 gon, and the number of words given by him 

 amounted only to about two hundred and fifty. 

 "A copy of Mr. Lionuefs vocabulary having 

 been sent to me with a request to make such 

 corrections as itmiglit require, I concluded not 

 merely to collate the words contained in this 

 a«d otlier printed and manuscript vocaI)ularies, 

 but to ascertain, so far as possible, the lan- 

 guages wliich had contributed to it, with the 

 original Indian words. This had become the 

 more important as its extended use by differ- 

 ent tribes had led to ethnological errors in the 

 classing together of essentially distinct fami- 

 lies." — Pre/ace.
