IV. _The Athabaskan group._--I find that the affinity between the

Loucheux and the Kenay languages is given by Prichard, who, at the same

time, separates both from the Athabaskan. "Mr. Gallatin says that the

similarity of languages amongst all these" (_i. e._ the Athabaskan)

"tribes is well-established. The Loucheux are excepted. This language

does not appear to have any distinctly marked affinities except with

that of the Kenay."--_Vol. V._ _p._ 377.

I believe that Dr. Prichard's informant on this point was the same as

my own _i. e._ Mr. Isbister.

Scouler also suggests the same relationship.

That Buschmann has arrived at the results of his _Athabaskische

Sprachstamm_ through a series of independent researches I readily

believe. Whether, after taking so little trouble to know what had been

done by his predecessors, he is right is saying so much about his

_discoveries_ is another question.

That the Pinaleno is in the same category with the Navaho is shewn by

Turner, who gives a vocabulary of the dialect.
