» This term denotes, in Moheg.in foils-lore, the dwarfs of the mythological realm. Mrs. Fielding felt 

 herself to be in very close touch with these beings and she related several tales concerning them, which I 

 caused to be printed some years ago in Anthropological Papers, American Museum of Natural History, 

 ref. I. 



'« In order to eliminate some of the tedious repetitions which crowd these pages, I have talcen the liberty 

 of omitting some lines of this sermon which are copied from a former one. 



39 The Mohegan affirmatives were nai and nak or naks. 



" One of the many English loan words acquired by Mohegan-Pequot in its increasing contact with the 

 Yankee world. 



33 This is literally "sufficient is that," meaning "thank you"; thecommon response at Mohegan. Natick 

 shows kuttabotOmish. "I thank you," and Narragansett, taubolni. (Cf. Natick Dictionary, p. 332.) 



'I The use of this term for the church, "meeting," is interesting. The only cognate tr.aceable, it seems, is 

 Massachusetts (Natick) sohsumoo, "it shines forth," sohsu'mo'onk "glory," in Eliot's translation of the 

 Bible (Trumbull, Natick Dictionary, p. 266). The resemblance here in an evangelical sense between 

 "glory" and the "meetings" of converts is not so far-fetched as it may seem at first.
