and Philology of America. The value of the principal characters 

 used, according to the scheme adopted, is as follows : — 



a as long m father, short in German hat (nearly as in English what). 



e as long in they, short in met. 



i as long in marine, short in pin. 



o as long in note, short in home or French mot. 



oo as long in fool, pool. 



u as in but. 



ai as in aisle. 



oi as in oil. 



ow as in how. 



eu as in plume. 



y as in you. 



x represents the guttural sound sometimes indicated by ch or gh. 

 The long value of vowels is distinguished by the macron, thus a, e; 

 the short value by the breve, thus a, e. 



The words are arranged nearly in the order of those in the Introduc- 

 tion to the Study of Indian Languages by J. W. Powell. I am indebted 

 to Mr. Powell for copies of this publication, which have been of 

 essential service. G-. M. D.
