the ordinary view. The question of exogamy or endogamy 
among the Shawnee is fixed merely by blood relationship. 
Among the Mexican Kickapoo Doctor Michelson gath- 
ered some additional texts, corrected the translations of 
Doctor Jones’s Kickapoo texts, as above noted, made ob- 
servations on Kickapoo clan organization, and gathered 
also linguistic data which shed further light on the rela- 
tions of the Sauk, Fox, and Kickapoo dialects. 
Doctor Michelson returned to Washington about the 
middle of December and commenced the elaboration of his 
field notes. In January he visited the Carlisle Industrial 
School, where he procured linguistic data on Ottawa, Tur- 
tle Mountain Chippewa, Potawatomi, Abnaki, Menomi- 
nee, Sauk, and Arapaho. The most important result ob- 
tained is the fact that the so-called Turtle Mountain Chip- 
pewa is really Cree—at least such is the language of the 
pupils at Carlisle. Whether the entire band is Cree is 
another question. Doctor Michelson’s opinion that Arap- 
aho is the most divergent Algonquian dialect was con- 
firmed and it was made more nearly certain that Menomi- 
nee distinctly belongs with Cree, not with Chippewa. Doc- 
tor Michelson returned from Carlisle in the following 
month, when he was compelled to submit to an operation 
for trachoma, which apparently had been contracted dur- 
ing his field researches of the previous summer. On re- 
suming his duties it was found advisable to incorporate 
the linguistic notes obtained in the summer and fall of 
1911 and the winter of 1911-12, so far as practicable, in 
his memoir on the Linguistic Classification of the Algon- 
quian Tribes, then in galley proof preparatory to pub- 
lication in the Twenty-eighth Annual Report, The value 
and completeness of this paper were thereby greatly en- 
hanced. r he 
While in the office Doctor Michelson was frequently 
called on to furnish data for answering letters of inquiry, 
and he also found opportunity to furnish notes of addenda 
and corrigenda for a future edition of the Handbook of 
American Indians.
