And fo on to 100. 



Under 10 they content themfelves with naming 

 the particular Number at once ; which they do rea- 

 dily. But ac the fame Time that they name Anivego, 

 or 10, they clap together their expanded Hands. 

 And for ii, 12, 13, &'c. to 20, they clap toge- 

 ther their Hands, and fay Anivego ; and then fepa- 

 rating them, they ftrike in order their Fingers of 

 the Left-hand, one by one with the Fore-finger of 

 the Right, faying, Anivego Conjugo, Anivego Poquab, 

 Anivego Pauquab, &c. to the Number they would 

 exprefs, if under 20. 



When they would exprefs 20, they clap their 

 Hands twice, (once at every 10 ) and fay Toola Bo- 

 guah. Tcola feems to fignify the fame with them, 

 as Score with us. For 2 1 , they fay Toola Boguab Con- 

 jugo ; 22, "Toola Boguab Poquab, &c. To exprefs 30, 

 they clap their Hands thrice, and fay Toola Boguab 

 Anivego, (20 and 10) for 31, "Toola Boguab Anivego 

 Iponjugo, (20 and 1 1 , ) and fo on to 40 ; when again 

 they clap their Hands 4 Times, and fay Toola guan- 

 nab, implying another Score; 41, Toola guannab 

 Conjugo, &c. 50, Toola guannab Anivego, (two 

 Score and Ten ;j 51, Toola guannab Anivego Conju- 

 go, ( Two Score and Eleven, &c.) The Name of 

 the other Scores to 100, I know not; and there 

 are few of them can reckon fo far : For while I 

 was among them, I was induftrious to learn their 

 Numbers, and 'twas a Diverfion I had with them ; 

 for they liked well my trying to imitate them ; and 

 would be very merry upon it : But 'twas not every 



one
