A number of stories are scattered throughout the text. 57-59: Bull Head and Elk; Wa-sa-ri mis- 
print for Wa-sa-si, or a corruption of some sort; phonetically wa‘se‘si'*. Michelson has a variant of 
this in his unpublished collection, 59-62: Wi-sa-ka and the Dancing Ducks; variant to Jones’s Fox 
Texts, 278-289; a Sauk version collected by Michelson agrees in part quite closely with tale collected 
by Steward. 62-65: They who went in pursuit of the Bear; variant to Jones’s Fox Texts, 70-75. 
345-351: Wa-pa-sai-ya; variant to Jones’s Fox Texts, 8-31, and his Notes on the Fox Indians, 
231-233; two unpublished versions collected by Michelson agree more closely with those of Jones than 
with that of Steward. 
ETHNOLOGY. 
ArmstronG, Perry A. The Sauks and the Black Hawk War. Springfield, 1887. 
Quite a bit of Sauk ethnology may be gleaned from this. Marred by the statement (13) that with 
the ‘‘Sauks, like all other Indian nations, the gens ran in the female line’’—which is an absurdity, 
and is not only opposed to the information given by the Sauk Indians of to-day, but is in direct 
contradiction to the testimony of Morgan (1877) and Forsyth (1827; see Blair, infra). Evidently the 
author was under the influence of Morgan’s general theories as was McGee (Amer. Anthrop. 1898: 89).

Vol. 2 contains Major Marston’s letter to Jedidiah Morse, dated November, 1820; originally printed 
in the latter’s report to the Secretary of War, dated 1821, printed 1822; and Thomas Forsyth’s 
“ Account of the Manners and Customs of the Sauk and Fox nations of Indian Traditions,”’ a report 
to General Clark dated St. Louis, January 15,1827. These twoare the best accounts of Fox ethnology. 
Forsyth’s ‘‘ Account”’ is printed here for the first time. 
Bussy, Attre B. Twosummers among the Musquakies. Vinton, Iowa. 1886. 
Besides containing extract from Galland (see infra), also gives lists of gentes, dances, marriage 
ceremonies, description of some ceremonials, burial customs, clothing, etc. These are the obser- 
vations of a former school teacher and are interspersed with more or less interesting gossip. The 
ethnological observations for the most part can be substantiated; on some matters (e. g., the ‘Mule 
Dance’’) the author is hopelessly in the dark as to the real import.
