2. _The Atna of Mackenzie._--This is a dialect of the Noosdalum.

3. _The Salish of Duponceau._ See Archæologia Americana.--This is the

Okanagan of Mr Tolmie. See Journal of Geographical Society.

_The Ahnenin._--In this language, as well as in two others hereafter to

be noticed (the Blackfoot and Crow), I have had, through the courtesy

of Dr. Prichard, an opportunity of using valuable vocabularies of

Gallatin's, collected by Mr Mackenzie, an agent for the American

fur-company on the Yellow-stone river; by whom also were drawn up the

shorter vocabularies, in Mr. Catlin's work on the American Indians,

of the Mandan, Riccaree and other languages. The table also of the

Natchez language is chiefly drawn from the comparative catalogues of

Mr. Gallatin. That the MS. vocabulary of the Ahnenin represents the

language of the Fall Indians of Umfreville, and one different from that

of the true Minetares (with which it has been confounded), may be seen

from the following comparison.
