PE-O-RI-AS.

The name of another tribe inhabiting a part of the state of Illinois;

and, like the above tribes, but a remnant and civilized (or

_cicatrized_, to speak more correctly). This tribe number about 200,

and are, like most of the other remnants of tribes on the frontiers,

under contract to move to the West of the Missouri. Of this tribe I

painted the portrait of _Pah-me-cow-e-tah_ (the man who tracks, +plate+

193); and _Kee-mo-ra-ni-a_ (no English, +plate+ 194). These are said to

be the most influential men in the tribe, and both were very curiously

and _well_ dressed, in articles of civilized manufacture.
