    American History.  New York, 1877, vol. 1.

After some remarks concerning the nature of language and of the special characteristics of Indian languages, the author gives a synopsis of the languages of the Pacific region.  The families mentioned are: 

1.  Shoshoni.           15.  Cahrok.
2.  Yuma.               16.  Tolewa.

6.  Yocut.              20.  Tinne.
7.  Meewoc.             21.  Yakon.

13.  Eurok.              27.  Nootka.
14.  Weits-pek.          28.  Kootenai.

This is an important paper, and contains notices of several new stocks, derived from a study of the material furnished by Powers.

The author advocates the plan of using a system of nomenclature similar in nature to that employed in zoology in the case of generic and specific names, adding after the name of the tribe the family to which it belongs; thus:  Warm Springs, Sahaptin.

  1878.  Powell (John Wesley).

  The nationality of the Pueblos.  In the Rocky Mountain Presbyterian. 
    Denver, November, 1878.

This is a half-column article, the object of which is to assign the several Pueblos to their proper stocks.  A paragraph is devoted to contradicting the popular belief that the Pueblos are in some way related to the Aztecs.  No vocabularies are given or cited, though the classification is stated to be a linguistic one.
