TAKILMAN FAMILY.

= Takilma, Gatschet in Mag. Am. Hist., 1882 (Lower Rogue River).

This name was proposed by Mr. Gatschet for a distinct language spoken on

the coast of Oregon about the lower Rogue River. Mr. Dorsey obtained a

vocabulary in 1884 which he has compared with Athapascan, Kusan,

Yakonan, and other languages spoken in the region without finding any

marked resemblances. The family is hence admitted provisionally. The

language appears to be spoken by but a single tribe, although there is

a manuscript vocabulary in the Bureau of Ethnology exhibiting certain

differences which may be dialectic.
