_Divisions._--1. Winnebagoes, Hochungohrah=_Trout Nation_. 2. Dakotas, Sioux, or Nadowessiou. 3. Assineboins, or Stone Indians. 4. Upsaroka, or Crows. 5. Mandans. 6. Minetari. 7. Osage. _Sub-divisions._--_a._ Of the Dahcota--1. Yanktons. 2. Yanktoanans(?) 3. Tetons. 4. Proper Sioux. _b._ Of the Osage.--1. Konzas. 2. Missouris. 3. Ottos. 4. Omahaws. 5. Puncas. 6. Ioways. 7. Quappas. 8. Osage Proper. The Sioux is the third great division of the North American Indians, and it is the division which comprises the tribes of the interior, of the Far West in opposition to the sea-coast, of the prairie country in opposition to the tracts that are or have been forest, and of the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The country of the buffalo is shared between them and the Western Algonkins. Broadly speaking, we may say between these three nations the basins of all the feeders of the Upper Mississippi are distributed: the exceptions being insignificant. This they have and more; since the Canadian population is, in great part, Algonkin. The Sioux tribes are essentially inland or continental. CATAWBA. _Locality._--The Santee, or Catawba River, in North Carolina. WOCCOON. _Locality._--North Carolina. Extinct. The Catawba and Woccoon languages, which are allied to each other, probably represent those aboriginal languages of North Carolina, which were _not_ of the Algonkin class. Besides these, however, there occur the following names, concerning which we only know that they belonged to North Carolina. The extent to which they spoke mutually unintelligible dialects is uncertain. 1. Cheraws; 2. Waterees; 3. Congarees; 4. Enoes;(?)[127] 5. Sewees; 6. Santees; 7. Wyniaws; 8. Waxsaws; 9. Esaws; 10. Toteros; 11. Keyauwees; 12. Sissispahaws; 13. Machapanga; 14. Connamox; 15. Coramines; 16. Chowans; 17. Wyanokes; 18. Sawara. Add to these for South Carolina:--1. The Saluda; 2. Stonoes; 3. Edistoes; 4. Westoes; 5. Yamassees. This indicates a new branch of research, viz.: the ethnology of the extinct tribes; and the extent to which it may be carried in the way of _minute_ investigation is shown by the length of the list of the divisions or sub-divisions of the population of the Carolinas alone. It is nearly as long for the original colony of Virginia, where the first settlers mention amongst others-- 1. _Kecoughtans._--At the mouth of James River. A colony of this people was transplanted by Powhattan in 1608 to the banks of the Montgomery. 2. _Paspaheghes._--James River, just above the Kecoughtans. 3. _Arrohatecks._--James River, just above the Paspaheghes. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.--_Appamatucks_, _Quiyoughcohanocks_, _Warraskoyacks_, _Nandsamunds_, _Chesapeaks_.--All on the south-east side of James River. On York River we find the names of Youghtamund and Mattapament; but whether these be the names of districts, or of tribes, is uncertain.
