[708] On the variety of complexion among the Indians, see Short’s No. Amer. of Antiq., p. 189; McCulloh’s Researches; Haven, Archæol. U. S., 48; Morton in Schoolcraft, ii. 320; Ethnolog. Journal, London, July, 1848; App. 1849, commenting on Morton.
[709] Pilling, Bibliog. of Siouan languages (Washington, 1887, p. 48), enumerates the authorities on the Mandan tongue. The tribe is now extinct. Cf. Morgan’s Systems of Consanguinity, p. 181.
[710] See also Smithsonian Report, 1885, Part ii. pp. 80, 271, 349, 449. Ruxton in Life in the Far West (N. Y., 1846) found Welsh traces in the speech of the Mowquas, and S. Y. McMaster in Smithsonian Rept., 1865, heard Welsh sounds among the Navajos.
[711] Filson in his Kentucke has also pointed out this possibility.
[712] The bibliography of the subject can be followed in Watson’s list, already referred to, and in that in the Amer. Bibliopolist, Feb., 1869. A few additional references may help complete these lists: Stephens’s Literature of the Cymry, ch. 2; the Abbé Domenech’s Seven Years in the Great Desert of America; Tytler’s Progress of Discovery; Moosmüller’s Europäer in Amerika vor Columbus (Regensburg, 1879, ch. 21); Gaffarel’s Rapport etc., p. 216; Analytical Mag., ii. 409; Atlantic Monthly, xxxvii. 305; No. Am.

[713] This Ptolemy map is reproduced in Gravier’s Les Normands sur la route, etc., 6th part, ch. 1; and in Nordenskjöld’s Studien und Forschungen (Leipzig, 1805), p. 25. The Ptolemy of 1562 has the same plate.
[714] J. R. Forster’s Discoveries in the Northern Regions. His confidence was shared by Eggers (1794) in his True Site of Old East Greenland (Kiel), who doubts, however, if the descriptions of Estotiland apply to America. It was held to be a confirmation of the chart that both the east and west Greenland colonies were on the side of Davis’s Straits.
[715] Buache reproduced the map, and read in 1784, before the Academy of Inscriptions in Paris, his Mémoire sur la Frisland, which was printed by the Academy in 1787, p. 430.
