About 400 pp., 4"^, bonnd. The first portion contains the first draft of the 
tract in Maliseet described above. No. H181/, -with an accompanying list, on the 
pages opposite, of words and grammatic forms collected while translating the 
tract. The verbs are generally conjugated fnlly through the Present of the In- 
dicative. Mr. Rand says : 
"The translating was done for me by a very intelligent Maliseet Indian, resid- 
ing at St. Mary's, opposite Fredericton, N. B., named Gabriel Thomas. The tract 
was translated from the Micmac, which Gabriel spoke fluently, as he did also 
the English and his own tongue. But he could neither read nor write. It was 
my first lesson in Maliseet, and I carefully collected a vocabulary and made a 
grammar as I went along." 
Besides the tract, vocabulary, and grammar, this book contains a translation 
of the 34th Psalm, a hymn in Penobscot, and another in Maliseet, " both from the 
Catholic Prayer Book," and a vocabulary of the Maliseet language, consisting 
of 90 pages closely written.

3185 u Mohawk Vocabu- | lary — By | Silas T. Eand | ste. 
Manuscript, about 200 pp., folio, bound. English and Mohawk, alphabetically 
arranged according to the English. The Mohawk equivalent is lacking in many 
instances. Concerning this work, and others mentioned below, Mr. Rand writes 
me as follows : 
" I spent two months in the year '70, I think it was, in Tuscarora, Ont., among 
the Mohawk Indians, and made the acquisition of a knowledge of their language 
a special object. I had secured, to assist me, a Mohawk grammar written in 
French by a retired French priest of Montreal. I soon learned the pronunciation 
so well that I could read to them quite fluently (for I took care to write the 
words phonetically), and I wrote out from the mouths of several Indians, some 
of them educated and some uneducated, long lists of words and grammatical 
inflections.
