FOOTNOTES:
[ [1] A few baskets made by an old woman, named Pually Mossuck, of the Tunxis tribe (in the vicinity of Farmington, Conn.) were incidentally obtained. A number of years ago this woman died at Mohegan, the last of her people. This entire collection is now in the possession of Mr. George G. Heye.
[ [2] In previous papers the writer has already published other ethnologic notes on the Mohegan and Niantic tribes. See Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History (N.Y.) vol. III, pp. 183–210 (1909), where are also listed papers in collaboration with Prof. J. D. Prince on the Mohegan language.
[ [3] · indicates that preceding vowel or consonant is long; ‛ indicates breathing following vowel; ´ indicates main stress; ə, like u of English but; ŋ, like ng of English sing; other characters used in transcription of Indian words need no comment.
[ [4] I am indebted to Mr. Albert Insley for his careful work in deciphering and reproducing the designs on these baskets.
