  1858.  Buschmann (Johann Carl Eduard).

  Die Voelker und Sprachen Neu-Mexiko’s und der Westseite des britischen
    Nordamerika’s, dargestellt von Hrn.  Buschmann.  In Abhandlungen (aus
    dem Jahre 1857) der koeniglichen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu
    Berlin.  Berlin, 1858.

This work contains a historic review of early discoveries in New Mexico and of the tribes living therein, with such vocabularies as were available at the time.  On pages 315-414 the tribes of British America, from about latitude 54 deg. to 60 deg., are similarly treated, the various discoveries being reviewed; also those on the North Pacific coast.  Much of the material should have been inserted in the volume of 1859 (which was prepared in 1854), to which cross reference is frequently made, and to which it stands in the nature of a supplement.

  1859.  Buschmann (Johann Carl Eduard).

  Die Spuren der aztekischen Sprache im noerdlichen Mexico und hoeheren
    amerikanischen Norden.  Zugleich eine Musterung der Voelker und
    Sprachen des noerdlichen Mexico’s und der Westseite Nordamerika’s von
    Guadalaxara an bis zum Eismeer.  In Abhandlungen aus dem Jahre 1854
    der koeniglichen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin.  Berlin, 1859.

The above, forming a second supplemental volume of the Transactions for 1854, is an extensive compilation of much previous literature treating of the Indian tribes from the Arctic Ocean southward to Guadalajara, and bears specially upon the Aztec language and its traces in the languages of the numerous tribes scattered along the Pacific Ocean and inland to the high plains.  A large number of vocabularies and a vast amount of linguistic material are here brought together and arranged in a comprehensive manner to aid in the study attempted.  In his classification of the tribes east of the Rocky Mountains, Buschmann largely followed Gallatin.  His treatment of those not included in Gallatin’s paper is in the main original.  Many of the results obtained may have been considered bold at the time of publication, but recent philological investigations give evidence of the value of many of the author’s conclusions.
