Pectolite. A somewhat rare mineral, 

 resembling nephrite, found in British 

 Columbia and Alaska, and used by the 

 native tribes for implements. It is hard 

 and tough and made excellent hammers, 

 which were sometimes ground into cy- 

 lindrical shape and somewhat polished, 

 showing to advantage the structure of this 

 handsome stone, which is greenish gray 

 and slightly translucent. Little is known 

 of the distribution or manner of occur- 

 rence of pectolite. Analysis gives silica 

 54, lime 32, soda 9, water 4, magnesium, 1.

Pedee. A small tribe, probably Siouan, 

 formerly living on the middle course of 

 Pedee r., S. C. Nothing is known of its 

 language and little of its history. On a 

 war map of 1 715 its village is placed on 

 the E. bank, considerably below that of 

 the Cheraw, about the present Cheraw. 

 In 1744 they with others killed several 

 Catawba, which led to their being driven 

 from their lands into the white settle- 

 ments. Two years later they and the Sara 

 are named as tribes which had long been 

 incorporated with the Catawba. In 1751 

 they were mentioned at the Albany con- 

 ference as one of the small tribes "living 

 among the white people in South Caro- 

 lina, against whom the Iroquois were 

 asked not to war. While most of the 

 Pedee joined the Catawba, there were 

 some who remained among the white set- 

 tlements as late as 1755. See Mooney, 

 Siouan Tribes of the East, 1894. (.i. m. )

 the Dieguefios. 



Peekishe. A tribe which, according to a 

 tradition of the Kansa, lived near them in
