These people call themselves "mink people," in allnsion to theii- most 

 abundant fur-animal, the mink, magemu'tik; and they extend from the 

 vicinity of Kipniuk southward along the coast to Cape Romanzoft', includ- 

 ing several villages at the north end of Nunivak Island. The women wear 

 C-shaped l^abrets on the main-land, though the younger ones at Nunivak, 

 seen ]jy me, were destitute of this ornament. I purchased there several 

 labrets of this peculiar form, but did not see them worn, though one of the 

 older women had five holes for the pui'pose in her under lip. I had pre- 

 vi .udy sujjposed that all the inhabitants of Nunivak belonged to the next 

 tribe, but these declared themselves to be Mag'emut. They are a poor, 

 filthy, and not modest people, but excel in ivory-carving.

These people inhabit the shores of Kuskokwim Bay and westward to 

 Cape Avinoff. According to Wrangell, the southern part of Niinivak Island 

 is also inhabited by them, and as I have mentioned that we found the people 

 of the north coast in 1874 to be Magemut, it would seem as if there was 

 no room left for the AgCdmut of Holmberg, of which I have not been able 

 to find any trace. On account of shoal water, much of the coast between 

 Capes Vancouver and Avinoff is not habitable for a maritime people, and we 

 may therefore assign the boundaries of the present tribe as being from
