ETHNOLOGICAL NOTES. 
1 On the position and duties of Fox women, as well as the training 
of girls, see Marston, Forsyth, Perrot, all apud E. Blair, Indian 
Tribes of the Upper Mississippi and Great Lakes Region, vol. i, pp. 
75-77, vol. ii, pp. 151-153, 165, 212-217; C. Atwater, Indians of ths 
Northwest, pp. 101, 102, 111 et seq.; A. R. Fulton, Red Men of Lowa, 
p- 140. The above references apply to the Sauk and Fox for the 
most part; the exact tribes referred to by Atwater and Perrot can 
not be determined with absolute accuracy, but they were of the same 
or neighboring locality. Other references appurtenant to details will 
be given at appropriate points. A fairly full bibhography of Fox 
ethnology is given by Michelson, Journal of the Washington Academy 
of Sciences, vol. 9, pp. 595, 596. This has been revised and ampli- 
fied, and is incorporated in this volume; see pp. 30-36. The writer 
has a fairly long Fox text (obtained from another informant), as yet 
unpublished, on how children are supposed to be brought up. The 
portion relating to girls ethnologically agrees remarkably with the 
training set forth in the present volume. This is occasionally cited 
as T. The translations given are free. [See Michelson, How Mes- 
kwaki children should be brought up, in American Indian Life, ed. Dr. 
E. C. Parsons, pp. 81-86.] 
2 Dolls were formerly made of corn husks in the fall; their clothing 
was made of muskrat and squirrel skins. 
3 On Fox dwellings see Carver, Three Years Travel, etc., pp. 29 
(Sauk), 30, 31; Forsyth, apud E. Blair, Indian Tribes of the Upper 
Mississippi and Great Lakes Region, vol. il, pp. 227, 228; A. R. 
Fulton, Red Men of Lowa, p. 442; Reports, Comm. Indian Affairs, 
1896, p. 162, 1897, p. 148, 1898, p. 171; A. Busby, Two Summers 
Among the Musquakies, p. 95; H. Rebok, The Last of the Musquakies, 
pp. 39, 40; M. A. Owen, Folk-Lore of the Musquakie Indians, p. 24; 
Greene, The Red Man, vol. v, pp. 104-106. To-day a good many 
families live in shacks and there are a few good frame houses; but 
still nearly half the Foxes live in wickiups of rush mats in winter 
and “bark houses” in summer. [Planks now take the place of bark. 
The above remarks held true at the time this paper was prepared 
for press, but now (fall of 1924) the bulk of the Foxes live in shacks. ] 
+ Even at the present day Fox children are rarely whipped; they 
are made to fast instead. Formerly their cheeks were painted with 
charcoal; in this way the entire village would know they were fasting, 
and accordingly no lodge would offer them meals. See also Marston,
