Vocabularies 



There are four short vocabularies of the Pima language in manu- 

 script in the ])ossession of the Bureau of American Ethnology: 



Words 



Dr C. C. Parry, under orders of Maj. W. H. Emory, 1852 154 



Amini M. Wliite. Pima trader at Casa Blanea 191 



John D. Walker. Company I. Fifth Infantry Colored Volunteers, Tucson 197 



F. W. Hodge. In Ciishing's party on Salt river. 1887 53 



The first is published in Schoolcraft, volume in, page 461 , and forms 

 the basis of the English-Pima vocabulary i)ublished in Die Pima- 

 Sprache by Buschmann in 1S57 (p. 36"). Doctor Parry employed a 

 Maricopa interpreter. Buschmann's vocabulary also includes words 

 obtained by Doctor Coulter, which were ])ublished by Gallatin in 

 Tran.'^actions of the American Ethnological Society, volume ii, page 

 129, and by Scouler in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society of 

 London, volume xi, page 24S. Buschmann further drew from Pfefifer- 

 korn's Beschicilning dcr Landschaft Sonora, volume ii, passim; three 

 words from .Miihlenfordt's Schilderung der Republik Mejico, volume 

 II, page 22.5; and words from the Lord's Prayer in Pima as given by 

 Hervas in Saggio Practico Delle Lingue (p. 124-12.5). There are 182 

 w^ords, in all, in Buschmann's list. Fewer than half the 53 pages of 

 his paper are devoted to the language of the Pimas. 



Lieutenant ^Yhipple obtained a vocabulary of 67 Pima words, which 

 was published in liis Rei)ort upon the Indian Tribes, Pacific Railroad 

 Reports, volume in (pt. in, p. 94). 



In the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society for 1841, page 248, 

 there is a Pima vocabulary of 38 words that was collected by a Doctor 

 Coulter; where, it is not stated. The orthograjjhy is not explained. 



In his Opuscula. page 3.51, R. G. Tjatham has ])ublished a vocab- 

 ulary of 27 words, stating neither from whom it was derivetl nor where 

 it was written. In his Natural History of the Varieties of Man, 

 Latham devotes tliree pages to quotations from Lieutenant Emory 

 descriptive of the "Pimos."
