Some of the tribes once puissant in the States east of the Missis- 
sippi have absolutely faded from the earth, yet they have left the 
evidences of their former power in the names of the natural fea- 
tures. Mr. H. W. Beckwith, of Danville, Illinois, has done a 
good service in publishing a list of these names for Indiana, in 
the State Geological Survey for 1882. Many of the titles were
