1874, was, however, an exception to this rule, occurring about 11 o’clock at

It is needless for me to enlarge upon this portion of my subject, since my 
own views differ so widely from those of the public generally that a proper pre- 
sentation of them would not be possible in an article intended to be brief. At 
some future time I trust I shall be able to furnish to the readers of the ‘¢ Review” 
an article on tornadoes, which will be more instructive than the one on Clouds, 
which is now brought to a close.

THE PUEBLO INDIANS. 
JAMES C. PILLING, U. S. BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY. 
The Pueblos of New Mexico and Arizona are towns or villages inhabited by 
Indians of various races and speaking different languages. When we omit the 
Indians inhabiting the Middle Gila river, who are also sometimes spoken of as 
Pueblo Indians, the languages of the others are divisible into four families. 
THE SHINUMo (sometimes called Moki) speak a language of the Sho-sho-ni-an, 
considerably differing, however, from the neighboring Pai-Ute, Uta and Califor. 
nia dialects of this family. They occupy six of a group of seven Pueblos—the 
seventh speaking a language of the Téwan—each under its own chief. These are 
the only Pueblos in Arizona, the remainder being within the limits of New Mexico. 
The following authors are known to have written or left manuscripts on this 
language: 
PaLMER (Dr.)—Vocabulary of about 200 words (MSS.) 
PALMER (Capt. A. D.)—Vocabulary of about 200 words (MSS.)
