MCGEK] CONTRIBUTORS AND COLLABORATORS 21 



Hikler, etbnolojiic translator of the Bureau, partly to Mr Emauiiele 

 Frouani ; though neither can be charged with errors of interpretation or 

 of Englishing, both finally shaped by the author. The somatic determi- 

 nations and discussions were by Dr Ales Hrdlitka, of New York ; the 

 tests for arrow poison were made by Dr S. Weir Mitchell, of Philadel- 

 phia; while the ]>hilologic comparisons were made almost wholly (with 

 notable thoroughness and perspicacity, and in such wise as to illus- 

 trate the wealth and utility of the linguistic collections of the Bureau) 

 by Mr J. N. B. Hewitt. Finally, it has become due, jirobably for the 

 tirst time in the nearly four centuries of their history, to make public 

 acknowledgment of services by Seri Indians, viz, subchief Mashi'm, 

 the real sponsor for the Bureau vocabulary and many other data, and 

 "El General" Kolusio, the outlaw interpreter of Hermosillo and con- 

 tributor to certain historical identifications.
