We now come to a series of languages which, like the Kolúch, and unlike the Athabaskan and Eskimo, have no great extension from west to east, and which are spoken on the _western_ side of Rocky Mountains only. Hence we get a great geographical line of demarcation; whilst the river systems with which we deal are those of Frazer's River and the Columbia, rather than of the Peace, the M'Kenzie, the Saskatchewan, and the Missinissi rivers. West of the Rocky Mountains, the ethnological affinities run from north to south (or _vertically_) until we reach the area of the great Paduca family; one, in respect to its direction and distribution, of the most remarkable in America. The ethnology of the parts between the Pacific, the Rocky Mountains, the Northern Athabaskan, and the Paduca area, is very nearly the ethnology of Oregon. Here we find two great families; and by their sides four or five isolated, or nearly isolated, languages, a phenomenon for which we are now prepared. The first of the great divisions is one that is conveniently called-- THE TSIHAILI. _Synonym._--Tsihaili-Selish. _Hales._ _Area._--Discontinuous. Chiefly the lower part of Fraser's River, and the parts between that and the Columbia. _Divisions._--1. Tribes to the north of the Columbia, continuous. 2. Tribes to the south of the Columbia, either wholly or nearly isolated. _Sub-divisions._--Value of the classification unascertained. _a._ Continuous Tsihaili. 1. Shushwap. 2. Salish. 3. Skitsuish. 4. Piskwaus. 5. Kawitchen. 6. Skwali. 7. Checheeli. 8. Kowelits. 9. Noosdalum. _b._ Isolated, or nearly isolated, Tsihaili.--The Nsietshawus, or Killamucks(?).
