Chamberlain (A. F.) — Continued. 



[Linguistic material of the Mississa- 



guas.] (*) 



Manuscript in possession of its author, wbo 

 wrote me concerning it as follows under date 

 of Nov. 27, 1888: 



" The list of words collected by me from the 

 Mississaguas of Scugog Island, Ontario Coun- 

 ty, Province of Ontario, numbers 620. They 

 were collected at various times, August 2, 4, 8, 

 11, &c. 1888. About 350 were collected from the 

 niece of Chief Johnson of Scugog ; the greater 

 part of the remainder from Mrs. Bolin (Nawi- 

 gishkoke (an intelligent Indian woman), a few 

 from Osawauimiki (an Indian formerly a teach- 

 er among the tribe). They occupy 14 pages of 

 paper 9x11 inches ; appended are a number of 

 etymological explanations. I have also 2^ pp. 

 same size occupied with explanations (transla- 

 tion and etymology) of Indian ( Mississagua) 

 personal and geographical names. Also 8^ pp. 

 same size, closely written, containing 'Myths 

 and Songs of the Mississaguas of Scugog, 

 consisting of the Mississagua version with in- 

 terlinear English translation, and also full Eng- 

 lish translation with explanatory notes. I hope 

 to have them published at an early date in the 

 Journal of American Folk-lore." 



In July, 1889, Mr. Chamberlain wrote me: 



"My list of Algonkin personal names so far 

 contains 30 names (Chippewa chiefly) from 

 Mrs. Jameson ("Winter Studies and Summer 

 Hambles), 100 Blackfoot, Cree, and Chippeway 

 from Morris (Indian Treaties), 50 Cree, Chip- 

 peway, Potowatomie, etc. from Paul Kane 

 (Wanderings of an Artist, etc.), about 300 from 

 Schoolcraft (Ojebway, Ottawa, Pottawottomie, 

 etc.), making about 15 closely written pages, 

 the Indian names being followed by English 

 translations.

Lord's prayer in Savanahice (from the Rev. 

 Dr. Le Jean, missionary of the Society for the 

 Propagation of the Faith, in North Carolina), 

 p. 89; in Yirginice (Massachusetts, from Eliot), 

 p. 90. — "Appendix continensquatuorpraecipuas 

 voces in Orationibus Dominicis occurrentes 

 .... ex Americanis," viz: Pater, Coelum, 

 Terra, Pauls, in Algonkine, Savanahice, Apa- 

 lachice, Virginiane, etc. follows p. 94. 



In a letter to me Dr. Trumbull says: The 

 Lord's prayer in Savanahice is reprinted in my 

 Notes on Forty Algonkin versions (p. 97), not 

 because it is Shawanese, which it certainly is 

 not, but because it has been copied as such 

 from Chamberlayne by Eervas, Bodoni, Vater, 

 and Auer. It does not belong to any one dia- 

 lect ever spoken by an American tribe. 



Copies seen: Astor, Britith Museum, Con- 

 gress, Lenox, Watkinson. 



At the Murphy sale a copy, no. 537, brought 

 90 cents.
