MALLERY,] PERSONAL NAMES. 445 
ently on the ground that the name is part of the man, and that he who knows the 
name has part of the owner of that name in his power. 
One Indian, therefore, generally addresses another only according to the relation- 
ship of the caller and the called, as brother, sister, father, mother, and so on. These 
terms, therefore, practically form the names actually used by Indians amongst them- 
selves. But an Indian is just as unwilling to tell his proper name to a white man 
as to an Indian, and, of course, between the Indian and the white man there is no 
relationship the term for wh‘ch can serve as a proper name. An Indian, therefore, 
when he has to do with awinropean, asks the latter to give him a name, and if one 
is given to him always afterwards uses this. The names given in this way are gen- 
erally simple enough—John, Peter, Thomas, and so on,

The original of Fig. 581 was made in 1873 by Running 
Antelope, chief of the Uncapapa Dakota, in the style of 
a signature instead of being attached to his head by a line 
as is the usual method of the tribe in designating personal 
names. Fa. 581.—Sig-

Fig. 582 presents a curious comparison with Figs. 548 and 903 
showing the manner in which the wolf, proverbially a lean animal, was 
delineated by Germans in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. It 
is taken from Rudolf Cronau (>), whose remarks are translated and 
condensed as follows: 
a. The oldest representation known to me of the “ wolf” occurs on a 
Gothic sword of the thirteenth century, in the Historical Museum of 
Dresden. 
b. Is more prinitive, from a sword of the last half of the fourteenth 
century, in the “ Berliner Zeughause;” also similar to ¢, of the same 
period, from a specimen in the Ziiricher Zeughaus. 
dand e. Signatures on two specimens in the collection in Feste Co- 
burg; eis a rare representation of the figure of the wolf of 1490, in the 
Germanic Museum at Niirmberg, and still more intricate (verzwickter) 
is the drawing / on a Dresden specimen of the year 1559.

A large proportion of the pictographs of several names next to be 
presented are from Red-Cloud’s Census, the history of which is as 
follows: 
A pictorial census was prepared in 1884 under the direction of Red- 
Cloud, chief of the Dakota at Pine Ridge Agency, Dakota Territory. 
The 289 persons enumerated, many of whom were heads of families, 
were the adherents of Red-Cloud and did not represent all the Indians
