of these comprise only a few individuals—not more than forty or fifty-and yet their languages are entirely distinct from those spoken by the surrounding tribes. In one instance Mr. Henshaw, who has charge of the construction of the map, found in California a single man, the sole survivor of his tribe. From him enough was learned to preserve the language once spoken by his ancestors, but with his death that tongue becomes extinct.
A very curious fact in relation to the distribution of the Eskimo is that they inhabit the coast of the Arctic regions to the exclusion of other Indians, beginning on the east shore of Greenland, and following the coast-line of that island around to the point farthest north inhabited by man. Then, beginning on the coast on the mainland, they occupy narrow strips on the north shore of Hudson Bay and along the northern coast of the continent, around past Behring Strait, and down the north-west coast of the continent to Prince William's Sound. Throughout all this immense coast-line the differentiation of language is very small; so that an Eskimo from Greenland transported to Behring Strait would in a month be able to speak the language of the natives there as well as though he had been born there. In striking contrast were the numerous distinct families of Indians in the valleys of California and Oregon, whose languages are so different that they could not understand each other.
This map, when published, will be accompanied by a report and discussion of the facts it discloses, and will be a very important contribution to the science of ethnology.-Science, March 23rd, 1888, p. 139.
