This e-text is based on the 1915 edition.Punctuation errors have been tacitly removed. The following typographical errors have been corrected:
# p. 3: “under-one over-one-process” → “under-one-over-one-process” # footnote 7: “Scattacook” → “Scatticook” # caption for Figure 20: “Satticook” → “Scatticook”
Text in small caps has been symbolised by forward slashes (/text/); italic passages have been placed between underscores (_text_). For transcription of the Mohegan language, special pronunciation characters are used in the original text (cf. Footnote 3).
