NOTE
Particular attention is called to the appendix by means of which
the linguistic stock to which a tribe belongs may be readily
found. First refer to the _list of tribes_ where the abbreviation
following the tribal name, will indicate the family or stock to
which that tribe belongs in the _list of stocks_. Example: “Navajo.
_Ath._” refers to “_Ath._ +Athapascan+,” in the stock list,
Athapascan being the linguistic family to which the Navajo belong.
The geographical range of the stock follows.
