PRKFACh 
 
 The tribe of Clallams, as they are usually called by the residents 
 of Washington Territory — by the neighboring Indians named 
 S'klal'arn, and denominated by themselves Nus klai yum — inhabit 
 the southern shore of Fuca Strait, from about the Okeho River on 
 the west, to Port Townshend on the east, bordering in the first 
 direction on the Makahs, sometimes called Classets (the Klaizzart 
 of Jewitt), a tribe of the Xootka family who inhabit Cape Flattery, 
 and in the other on the Chemakum, like themselves a branch of the 
 Selish, though a yet more remote one. Their language is the same, 
 with some dialectic differences only, as that of the Songhus and 
 Sokes of Vancouver Island opposite. It is this which has been 
 referred to by Drs. Scouler and Latham as the "Nusdalum," 
 undoubtedly, in the first instance, a misprint. 
 
 The Clallam differs materially from the other Selish languages of 
 the Puget Sound country, though less from the Lummi than the 
 rest. Its noticeable feature is the fi-equent occurrence of the 
 nasal ng. 
 
 The Lummi tribe live on the lower part of a river heading in the 
 Cascade Range, north-east of Mount JJaker, and emptying by two 
 mouths, one into Bellingham Bay, the other into the Gulf of 
 Georgia, the upper waters of which are inhabited by the Nook- 
 Bahks (Nuk-sdk). They are, however, intruders here, their former 
 country having been a part of the group of islands between the 
 
 27G 
 
fl PREFACE. 
 
 continent and Vancouver Island, to whicli they still occasionally 
 resort. Their own name is Nukh'lnni-nu. The Skagits call them 
 Nflkh-lesh, and some of the other tribes Ila-lura-mi. Their dia- 
 lectic affinities are rather with the Sannitch of the south-eastern end 
 of Vancouver Island than with any of the Indians of the main land, 
 and the two probably at one period formed a single tribe, which 
 more remotely was connected with the Clallams and Songhus. 
 The Simiahmoo (Si-mi-a-mu), a small remnant, living on the bay 
 of that name, north of them, belong likewise to this group. On the 
 south the Lummi adjoin the Samish and other bands of the Skagits, 
 who in language approach the Nisquallies. 
 
 Like the Clallam, their language abounds with the nasal n^, both 
 as a prefix and a termination. It has another peculiarity, in great 
 measure its own, in the brond sound of the letter a, somewhat as in 
 the words mass, ^)ass, but even more prolonged. I have distin- 
 guished this in the vocabulary by the italic. The letters /", r, v, «, 
 are wanting in both languages. 
 
 The Clallam and Lurami, as will be observed, contain three 
 classes of cardinals, which I have distinguished as simple, personal^ 
 and of valuation, although these terms are not strictly accurate ; 
 certain objects, besides men, being counted by the second, and 
 others, as well as money, by the third ; I have never fully ascer- 
 tained the distinctions which govern their use. The words animate 
 and inanimate do not apply ; those of noble and ignoble, by which 
 the French Missionaries designated the names of objects in the 
 Algonquin languages, probably indicate the idea. Mr. Gallatin, in 
 his " Notes on the Semi-Civilized Nations of Mexico," &c.,* men- 
 tions the same peculiarity as existing in the Mexican and Maya, in 
 the former of which there are three different terminations suffixed 
 to the simple numbers, according to the objects denoted. A similar 
 distinction is found in the Makak language, and traces of it, at 
 
 * Trans. Am. Eth. Soa, vol. i , p. 54.

 least, are observable in the Pima. I imagine tliat by iiMniiry tlie 
 fact would be found to exist in other Indian tongues. Sinrfularlv 
 enough, this feature also characterizes sonic, of the laiigiia-a'S of 
 Micronesia. 
 
 The affinities of tiie Clallam and Lummi with the Selish arc too 
 obvious to require deiuonstrution. Indeed Dr. Latham has ahvady 
 classed the former with the Shewha})inukh, or, as he terms it, Atna, 
 of Frazer River, the northernmost of the Selish dialects. The term 
 Atna, it may be mentioned, is improperly applied as a i'amily name 
 to these languages, as it is a Takulli (Athabascan or Chepcwyan) 
 word, signifying, according to Mr. A. V. Anderson, " strangers." 
 
 These two vocabularies were collected, the first at Port Towns- 
 bend, during a residence of a few months, the other at Simiainoo 
 Bay, while I was connected with the X. W. Boundary (Commission. 
 Neither of them underwent more than a partial revision, and inac- 
 curacies have therefore doubtless crept in. They are, however, 
 sufficiently reliable to afford the basis of extending comparisons 
 with the other Selish and the more northern coast families.
