" The follo^vlng list of names is based partly upon the manuscripts of Winnebago personal names pre- 

 pared bj- the late Mr. J. O. Dorsey, and now in the possession of the Bureauof.\merican Ethnology. This 

 list has been revised and the phonetics of the Winnebago names corrected and transcribed by the author, 

 but the English renderings of the names have been left as Mr. Dorsey obtained them, as the author obtained 

 practically the same translations. Many of the names were obtained independently by the author. Dor- 

 sey's list is itself the amalgamation of two lists, that obtained by Dr. Foster and his own. He sub- 

 sequently revised Foster's list, but to those names of the latter's list for which he could not obtain any 

 translation he appended Foster's initials. 



1° Dorsey has "thin" wings, adding "as is a transparent fleecy cloud." However, the word peres, 

 which is the full form for pere, means "clear," and is generally used in describing water in a brook. 

 Theinterpretation of this and many other names as referring to clouds necessarily and not to the simple 

 characteristics of the wings of the thmiderbirds. is not oljtained frequently to-day, but there seems to be 

 no reason for believing that it was not customary a generation or two ago. For a discussion of the meaning 

 of the names in general see the introduction to the section on social organization. 



u Dorsey's rendering "stiff wings" is most certainly incorrect. 



'2 Foster t^an^lates "misty" and Dorsey "smoke," but coic means to kindle a fire, literally to cause 

 the blue flame that appears just as the flames start up.
