VOCABULARIES OF NORTH AMERICAN LANGUAGES. 85 
Trinity river, on which a tribe of them is now found, extending to its junction with the Kla- 
math. My view of the affiliation of the Apache and Athapascan tribes has been adopted by 
Mr. Schoolcraft, in the recently published fifth volume of his History, &c., of the Indian Tribes, 
(p. 173 note, and pp. 202, 203,) though apparently with some hesitation.* To establish the 
fact of the radical connexion of their languages beyond reasonable doubt, I have constructed 
the following comparative table of words selected from vocabularies already published, except- 
ing that of the Apaches of the Copper Mines, for which we are indebted to the liberality of the 
Hon. John R. Bartlett. It may be well to remind the reader, that in comparing the names of 
the parts of the body, the pronoun or other word attached to the name must be rejected : 
thus, in the Hudson's Bay vocabulary the expression is man's head, man's hair, etc. ; in the 
Dog-Rib, my head, etc.
