These dialects show certain degrees of interrelationship, 
which may be formulated as follows: Calapooia, Santiam, 
Lakmayut, and Ahantsayuk form one closely related group; 
another group embraces the Yamhill and Atfalati dialects, 
while Yonkallat seems to constitute a group of its own. No 
information as to the Chelamela dialect could be obtained. 
In July Doctor Frachtenberg received what seemed to be 
trustworthy information that some Willapa Indians were still 
living at Bay Center, Washington, but on visiting that point 
he found the reputed Willapa to be in fact members of the 
Chehalis tribe, thus proving conclusively that the Willapa 
are entirely extinct. 
Doctor Frachtenberg returned to New York late in October 
and was engaged until the beginning of December in the 
preparation of the Siuslaw grammatical sketch for the Hand- 
book of American Indian Languages, additional work on 
which became necessary because of the fact that during his 
stay in the field he had received further information con- 
cerning this extinct stock. In December Doctor Frachten- 
berg took up his duties in Washington, becoming first engaged 
in supplying references from the Siuslaw texts in the gram- 
matical sketch of that language. At the close of the year 
this sketch was in type. Doctor Frachtenberg also prepared 
for publication a Siuslaw-English and English-Siuslaw vocab- 
ulary, containing .90 typewritten pages. He furthermore 
prepared an English-Coos glossary, which may be utilized in 
the near future, as it has been found desirable to add such 
a glossary to each volume of native texts. 
On completion of this work Doctor Frachtenberg com- 
menced the preparation of the Alsea texts collected by Dr. 
Livingston Farrand in 1900 and by himself in 1910. These 
texts, consisting of 31 myths, tales, and narratives, and com- 
prising 195 typewritten pages, will be submitted in the near 
future with a view to publication as a bulletin of the bureau. 
At the close of the fiscal year Doctor Frachtenberg was 
preparing for another field season in Oregon, with the view 
of finishing his studies of the Kalapooian stock and of con- 
ducting similar researches among the Quileute.
