cases, be made of negative evidence. Chief Derrick did not in 
any case enumerate all the crests of a clan. This was due partly 
to forgetfulness, partly to the impossibility of doing more than 
skimming the surface in the short time at our disposal. The 
crests are given in the order in which Chief Derrick dictated them. 
This should not be taken to imply that the order indicated rigidly 
reflects their ranking, even assuming that a definite ranking of 
crests is obtainable. Nevertheless, I believe the order at least 
approximates to such a ranking, the less widely distributed 
crests generally coming last. At any rate, there was no doubt in 
Chief Derrick’s mind as to which was the highest crest for 
any given clan.

The phratries, all four of which are here represented, with 
their clans, rank as follows: 
I. laocktbo *' u “on wolf.” This is the head phratry of the tribe 
and is divided into three clans, ranking in the following 
order : 
1. fccsqansnd’'t “people from s$ansnd' , t 1 home-of- 
berry-bushes” ; s<lansnd''t is the name of their 
former village. The head chief is s^atcn. 
2. kitwd'nd’%i' n “all in one (though living in different 
houses).’’ The head chief is Chief Derrick. 
3. feUwrtkrya'x* “people of hiding place.” 
II. laxsgv'k'- “on eagle.” This also is subdivided into three 
clans, ranking in the following order: 
1. sdmlaxs^v'k^ “real iaxs%v'k\" i.e. “foremost 
Eagles.” 
2. laxtsdme'l'% “on beaver.”
