Now, by taking in the Eskimo of the Aleutian Islands, this list might

be doubled; and by dealing with the Kenay as Eskimo, it might be

trebled.

Again, by attempting to fix the points whereat the Eskimo language

ceases, and the Kolooch tongue begins, we may get further evidence that

the difference between them is exaggerated; since the languages passed

by gradual transitions into each other.

What follows, moreover, is cumulative evidence towards the same

conclusion.

Over and above the vocabularies collected by Mr Tolmie that have

already been dealt with, there is a seventeenth, viz. the _Tunghaas_.

This is stated in Dr Scouler's accompanying paper to be the most

northern dialect with which the Hudson's Bay traders come in contact.

It is also stated to be Sitcan; and that truly.
