NOTES. 



162; 1. By others this song was given as follows: Na'paks kinuina kalowiit nii: 

 " I the disease am meandering through the skies." This variant is evidently prefer- 

 able to the one above. 



162 ; 2. In the Sahaptin language of the Yakima, Washington Territory, a certain 

 bii'd is called piu|)in ; the Klamath Lakes call a spotted kind of woodpecker shpiu'bpush. 

 Both terms are derived from an onomatopoetic radix piu, imitating the picking at the 

 bark by the woodpecker. 



162; 3. The tiiktukuash or lish-hawk, Pandiou carolinensis, occurs in large Jium- 

 bers on the lakes of the Klamath highlands. Like that of many other birds, its Indian 

 name is derived onomatopoetically from its cry.
