[299] Gallatin, "Synopsis of Indian Tribes," _Trans. Am. Antq. Soc._, 1836, p. 358. The next fourteen lists are, with the exception of the Micmac, from the same collection. The meanings are largely from Trumbull, _op. cit._

[302] In the Dakota dialects 10 is expressed, as here, by a word signifying that the fingers, which have been bent down in counting, are now straightened out.

[304] Boas, _Sixth Report B.A.A.S._, 1890. Reprint, p. 117. Dr. Boas does not give the meanings assigned to 7 and 8, but merely states that they are derived from 2 and 3.

[305] _Op. cit._, p. 117. The derivations for 6 and 7 are obvious, but the meanings are conjectural.

[306] Boas, _Sixth Report B.A.A.S._, 1889. Reprint, pp. 158, 160. The meanings assigned to the Tsimshian 8 and to Bilqula 6 to 8 are conjectural.

[313] _Op. cit._, II. i. p. 287. The meanings given for the words for 7, 8, 9 are conjectures of my own.

[318] Adam, Lucien, _Congres Internationale des Americanistes_, 1877, Vol. II. p. 244.

[319] Müller, _Sprachwissenschaft_, II. i. p. 395. I can only guess at the meanings of 6 to 9. They are obviously circumlocutions for 5-1, 5-2, etc.

[320] _Op. cit._, p. 438. Müller has transposed these two scales. See Brinton's _Am. Race_, p. 358.

[321] Marcoy, P., _Tour du Monde_, 1866, 2ème sem. p. 148.

[322] _Op. cit._, p. 132. The meanings are my own conjectures.

[323] An elaborate argument in support of this theory is to be found in Hervas' celebrated work, _Arithmetica di quasi tutte le nazioni conosciute_.
