4. — Vocabulary of the Ila-iW -sulch. 



(Bcl-bella of Milbank Soiiriil, Biitisli Cohiiiibia.) 



Obtained from an Indian known as "Capt. Stewart", at Victoria, Vancou- 

 ver Island, in April, 1859, by George Gibbs. 



Note. — Ilailt-zidv or Hailt-zukli is tlie name applied to them- 

 selves by the Indians of Milbank Sound and vicinity. The name 

 Bel-bel'-la is given them by others. 



This vocabulary Avas obtained from an Indian well known as 

 "Captain Stewart", through the medium of Frederick Minni, a Ca- 

 nadian, who spoke the language. It may be considered as correct, as 

 I subsequently used it in procuring that of the Bilikula, and was per- 

 fectly understood. 



The analogy of several words with the same in different dialects 

 of the Sound langunges will be noticed. — G. G. 



5. — Vocahularij of the Kwa'-JdiltF. 



(A dialect of the Ha-ilt'-zukli.) 



Obtained from two women of the tribe at Nanaimo, British Columbia, in 

 September, 1857, by George Gibbs. 



Note. — This agrees very well with another obtained from a boy 

 in the summer of 1855. — G. G. 



(N. B. — In these and other MS. belonging to Mr. Gibbs, and of which I have 

 supervised the publication here, the original orthography has been preserved in all 

 cases ; except where the substitution was perfectly evident, as in dropping the c in ck. 

 replacing ow by an, x by /os, etc. This will account for the want of uniformity, to 

 obtain which could not safely be attempted ; notwithstanding this, the material is too 

 valuable to be lost, though less precious than if it had been arranged by its lamented 

 wner, — "W. II. Dall.)
