which forms a part of the Sniithsoiiiaii Institu- 

 tion. Mr. Gatschet lias ever since been actively 

 connected with that bureau. To iucrea.se its 

 lingaisti<' collections and to extend his own 

 •studies of the Indian lanii;uages, he has made 

 extensive trips of lin<;uistic and ethnologic 

 exploration among the Indians of North Amer- 

 ica. After returning from a six months' 

 sojourn among the Klamaths and Kalapuyas 

 of Oregon, settled on Itoth sides of the Cascade 

 Kange, he visited the Kataba in South Carolina 

 and the Cha'hta and Shetimasha of Louisiana 

 in ]881-'82, the Kayowe. Comanche, Apache, 

 Yattassee, Caddo, Naktche, Modoc, and other 

 tribes in the Indian Territory, the Tonkawe 

 and Lipans, in Texas, and the Atakapa Indians 

 of Louisiana in 1884-'85. In 1880 lie saw the 

 Tlaskaltecs atSaltillo, Mexico, aremnantof the 

 Nahua race, brought there about 157.") from 

 Anahuac, and was the first to discover the athn- 

 ity of the Biloxi language with the Siouan fam- 

 ilj'. He also committed to writing the Tunixka 

 or Tonica language of Louisiana, never before 

 investigated, and forming aiinguistic family of 

 itself. Excursions to other parts of the country 

 brought to his knowledge other Indian lan- 

 guages: the Tuskarora, Caughuawaga, Penob- 

 scot, and Karankawa. 



Mr. Gatschet has written an extensive report 

 embodying bis researches among the Klamath 

 Lake and Modoclndians of Oregon, which forms 

 Vol. II of "Contributions to North American 

 Ethnology." It is in two parts, which aggre- 

 gate 1,528 pages. Among the tribes and lan- 

 guages discussed by him in seijarate publi- 

 cations are the Timucua (Florida), Tonkawe 

 (Texas), Yuma (California, Arizona, Mexico), 

 Chumeto (California), Beothuk (Newfound- 

 land), Creek, and Hitchiti (Alabama). His 

 numerous publications are scattered through 

 magazines and government reports, some being 

 contained in the Proceedings of the American 

 Philosophical Society, Philadelphia.

"Some j'ears ago the Smithsonian Institution 

 printed a small vocabulary of the Chinook Jar- 

 gon, furnished by Dr. B. R. Mitchell, of the U. 

 S. Navy, and iirepared, 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 th.e Institution, 

 for revision and preparation for the press, to 

 the late Professor W. W. Turner. Although it 

 received the critical examination of that distin- 

 guished philologist, and was ot use in directing 

 atteuti(m to the 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 

 deriv(!d. 



"Mr. Hale had previously given a vocabulary 

 andaccountof this Jargon in his Etlinography 

 of the United States Exploring Exi»edition,' 

 which wasnoticed by Mr. Gallatin in theTrans- 

 actions of the -Vmerican Etlin(dogical Society, 

 vol. ii. He however fell Int-o some errors in his
