population of the tribes of this family under the West Coast Agency, British Columbia, is 3,160.[108] The grand total for this division of the family is thus 3,617. [Footnote 107: U.S. Census Bulletin for 1890.] [Footnote 108: Canada Ind. Aff. Rep. for 1888.] PRINCIPAL HAELTZUK TRIBES. Aquamish. Likwiltoh. Belbellah. Mamaleilakitish. Clowetsus. Matelpa.

Of the Bellacoola (Salishan family) and Haeltzuk, of the present family, there are 2,500 who are not under agents. No separate census of the latter exists at present. WASHOAN FAMILY. = Washo, Gatschet in Mag. Am. Hist., 255, April, 1882. < Shoshone, Keane, App. Stanford's Comp. (Cent. and So. Am.), 477, 1878 (contains Washoes). < Snake, Keane, ibid. (Same as Shoshone, above.) This family is represented by a single well known tribe, whose range extended from Reno, on the line of the Central Pacific Railroad, to the lower end of the Carson Valley. On the basis of vocabularies obtained by Stephen Powers and other investigators, Mr. Gatschet was the first to formally separate the language. The neighborhood of Carson is now the chief seat of the tribe, and here and in the neighboring valleys there are about 200 living a parasitic life about the ranches and towns.
