YU ROK SE ANTE: 
1.—Al-i-kwa. 
Obtained by Mr. George Gibbs at the forks of the Trinity and Klamath 
Rivers, California, in 1852. It is Nos. 853 (1), 400, and 402 of the 
Smithsonian Collections, and is much longer than that obtained by 
him in 1851. It conforms to the Smithsonian orthography. 
2.—Al-i-kwa. 
Obtained by Mr. George Gibbs at the junction of the Trinity River with 
the Klamath, California, in 1851. It has been published in School- 
craft, Part iii, p. 440, under the name of Weits-pek. On page 422 of 
that volume, Mr. Gibbs says Weits-pek is “the name of the principal band 
on the Klamath, at the junction of the Trinity. This language prevails 
from a few miles above that point to the coast, but does not extend far 
from the river on either side. The constant recurrence of the letter r 
in this and the other languages of this district will be at once noticed 
as a distinction from the Oregon tongues. In many words and proper 
names it is sounded with a distinct and forcible roll. The f#, however, 
another shibboleth to the Oregonians, is unknown here also.” It was 
transliterated by Mr. Gibbs, in No. 353 (2) of the Smithsonian Collec- 
tions, into the Smithsonian alphabet. That copy is here given. 
3.—K Tamath: 
Obtained by Asst. Surg. Thomas F. Azpell, U.S. A., while at Camp Gaston, 
Hoopa Valley, California, August, 1870. Dr. Azpell says the true 
name of the tribe speaking this dialect is Sa-ag-its. The orthography 
conforms to the original. 
4.— Yu'-rok. 
Obtained by Mr. Stephen Powers on the Hoopa reservation, California, in 
1875, ‘‘from a very intelligent Indian, who was, I believe, the only 
Yurok on the reservation.” The Smithsonian alphabet has been used.
