FOOTNOTE:

[146] Most of the words in this vocabulary are given with reasonable correctness, though the transliteration is somewhat primitive. A fuller and more accurate one may be found in the Appendix to Sproat"s _Scenes and Studies of Savage Life_ (1868), pp. 295-309, so that it is not necessary to annotate the present one. Those in Cook"s _Voyage_ and in Dawson and Tolmie"s _Comparative Vocabularies of the Indian Tribes of British Columbia_ (1884), are short and imperfect. I have a much fuller one in ma.n.u.script.
