The following are a few of the mythological characters which play a part in many of the stories of the Passamaquoddies. They are all given on one of the cylinders of the phonograph:-- _Leux._ Mischief-maker. In certain stories, simple fellow. _Kewok._ A formless being with icy heart, and when mentioned regarded as a terrible one. _Pedogiic._ Thunder. _Pesok que tuk._ Lightning. _Ooargamess._ Small beings who live about rocks and chatter in unknown tongue. Have been seen in late times. _Lumpagonosis._ Water beings. _Kelphit._ A shapeless (medicine) being who is turned over twice each year. Under him are found flowers. _Pogumpt._ Black Cat, Fisher. _k'Chebollock._ The Spirit of the Air. This being is said to be without body, but to have a heart, wings, head, and legs. _Cadoux._ Spirit of Night. Said to have been seen lately. An evil spirit which tears bark from the wigwam, and in many ways frightens the Indians. _Pook-jin-squess._ The Jug. Called also the toad woman. In some Indian stories spoken of as governor. _Noosagess._ A being associated with the wind. _Squaw-oc-t'moos._ Swamp woman. _Mousham._ Grandfather. _Glooscap._ The beneficent being whose deeds are generally superhuman, and who figures in many heroic tales of the Passamaquoddies. The term as applied to a man is one of contempt. To call a man glooscap, or a woman glooscapess, is to call them liars. _Chematiquess._ The big rabbit. There are many tales in relation to Chematiquess. The new one which I have treats of his efforts to escape Glooscap. _Mickemnise._ The good fellow. I have also heard the Ouargamiss called Mickeminn. _Hespens._ The raccoon. _Quarbet._ The giant beast. _M'Sartoo._ The Morning Star. _Consuce._ The ancients; said to be the fabricators of stone things. These were the makers of the stone axes or tomahawks which are found in the territory once inhabited by the Passamaquoddies. The accompanying plate illustrates the above mentioned story of Pogump and Pookjinsquess, the original of which was drawn on birch bark by Noel Josephs. * * * * *
