NOOTKA. 
The following notes have been derived from material collected in 1888 in 
Victoria from two Tlao’kath, from other material collected 1889 in Alberni, prin- 
cipally from a half-blood Indian named Wa’té. Bishop N. J. Lemmens, of Victoria, 
B.C., had the great kindness to give me the pronouns and the inflection of the verb 
in the Tlad‘kath dialect. A number of suffixes were obtained from a manuscript of 
the Rey. Father Brabant, who is said to be thoroughly conversant with the language. 
The dialect treated here is the Ts’icia’ath, which differs somewhat from the northern 
dialects. Incidentally, remarks on the Tlad'/kath are given.

s and ¢s partake of the character of ¢ and ¢c, as in Kwakiutl, and it is doubtful 
whether they can be considered separate sounds. All consonants occur as initial 
sounds, No combinations of consonants occur in the beginning of words. ‘The
