[6] _Ribes sanguineum_, now a common shrub in our ornamental grounds. [7] _Echinopanax horridum._ [8] _Thuja gigantea_, a tree which to the Indian is what the bamboo is to the Chinese. [9] _Acer macrophyllum._ [10] _Cornus Nuttallii._ [11] _Arbutus Menziesii._ [12] _Selasphorus rufus._ It is one of one hundred and fifty-three birds which I catalogued from Vancouver Island (_Ibis_, Nov. 1868). [13] _Scenes and Studies of Savage Life_ (1868), by the Hon. G. M. Sproat, late Commissioner of Indian Affairs for British Columbia. [14] "Pachena" of the Indians. [15] Or, as they call themselves in their dialect of the Aht, "Dittinahts." Nettinaht is a white man's corruption. [16] A few years earlier they were estimated at a thousand. [17] "Klootis" of the Indians. [18] Known to them as "Etlo." [19] They were not permitted this privilege until the whites came to Alberni in August 1860. [20] Though the orthography of these names is often incorrect, and not even phonetically accurate, I have, in order to avoid the mischief of a confusion of nomenclature, kept to that of the Admiralty Chart. [21] This was the Banfield who acted as Indian agent in Barclay Sound. He was drowned by Kleetsak, a slave of Kleesheens, capsizing the canoe in which he was sailing, in revenge for a slight passed upon the chief. I went ashore at the Ohyaht village in the same canoe, and was asked whether I was not afraid, "for Banipe was killed in it." There was also a story that the capsize was an accident. [22] It may be proper to state in this place that the interior details of that chart are, with very few exceptions, from my explorations. But the map on which they were laid down by me has been so often copied by societies, governments, and private individuals without permission (and without acknowledgment), that the author of it has long ceased to claim a property so generally pillaged. The original, however, appeared, with a memoir on the interior--"Das Innere der Vancouver Insel"--which has not yet been translated, in Petermann's _Geographische Mittheilungen_, 1869. [23] Or Berkeley--for the name is spelt both ways. [24] Destruction Island, in lat. 47° 35'. This was almost the same spot as that in which the Spaniards of Bodega's crew were massacred in 1775, and for this reason they named it Isla de Dolores--the "Island of Sorrows." It is in what is now the State of Washington, U.S.A. [25] Green Low will even blame Wikananish, who figures in Jewitt's narrative, as the instigator of the outrage.
