Remarks. 
The Caddos, says Mr. Whipple, live on Red river. The tribe is small. (According to the 
latest information, the whole number of the Anadahkoes, Caddoes, and Ionies, is hut 500 
souls.) They wear clothes, and look like Delawares. They have many guns. Their hows 
and arrows look like those of the Comanches. 
The vocabulary—of only twenty words—agrees well, as far as it goes, with that of Gray 
in Gallatin’s Synopsis, and that of Marcy in the fifth volume of Schoolcraft’s great work. 
Dr. Sibley, in speaking of the “Keyes or Keychies,” says they “have their peculiar native 
language, hut mostly now [1805] speak Caddo, intermarry with them, and live together in 
much harmony.” These, as well as several other nations on like terms of intimacy with the 
Caddoes, he says, “look up to them as their fathers, and join them in all their wars.” Hence 
Dr. Vater considers that their languages, though now different, had probably a common origin 
with the Caddo. Whether the following resemblances to languages of the Pawnee stock are 
owing to such relationship, or to long and intimate intercourse, is, for the present, left undeter¬ 
mined.
