KTHNOGIIAPIIIC SKETCH. 



The Snake Indians were not. counted at tliat time, hut were assumed 

 to have the same population as in 1876 : 137. This g-ives a total of Indians 

 for the Reservation of 896. This count included about eight mixed bloods 

 and seven Warm Spring Indians from the Des Chutes River. The board- 

 ing-school at the Klamath Agency then had eighteen pupils of both sexes. 



The reports of tiie Indian Commissioner for 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883, 

 and 1884 can not be fully relied on, since they give the same figures for 

 each of these years with an unvarying total of 1,023 Indians — Klamaths, 

 707; Modoes, 151; Snake Indians, 165. 



The report of 1888, Jose})h Emery agent, gives 788 Klamath Lake and 

 Modoc Indians and 145 Snake Indians, a total of 933 individuals. 



Probably the most reliable data were furnished by the Indian census 

 made in 1881 for the United States Census Bureau, from March to August:

This enumeration is remarkable on account of the large number of 

 Molale Indians mentioned in it, an element of the population which is no- 

 where else designated as such in the periodical reports made by the agents.
