stories, simple fellow.

_Kewok._ A formless being with icy heart, and when mentioned
regarded as a terrible one.

_Pedogiic._ Thunder.

_Pesok que tuk._ Lightning.

_Ooargamess._ Small beings who live about rocks and chatter
in unknown tongue. Have been seen in late times.

_Lumpagonosis._ Water beings.

_Kelphit._ A shapeless (medicine) being who is turned over
twice each year. Under him are found flowers.

_Pogumpt._ Black Cat, Fisher.

_k'Chebollock._ The Spirit of the Air. This being is said to
be without body, but to have a heart, wings, head, and
legs.

_Cadoux._ Spirit of Night. Said to have been seen lately. An
evil spirit which tears bark from the wigwam, and in many
ways frightens the Indians.

_Pook-jin-squess._ The Jug. Called also the toad woman. In
some Indian stories spoken of as governor.

_Noosagess._ A being associated with the wind.

_Squaw-oc-t'moos._ Swamp woman.

_Mousham._ Grandfather.

_Glooscap._ The beneficent being whose deeds are generally
superhuman, and who figures in many heroic tales of the
Passamaquoddies. The term as applied to a man is one of
contempt. To call a man glooscap, or a woman glooscapess, is
to call them liars.

_Chematiquess._ The big rabbit. There are many tales in
relation to Chematiquess. The new one which I have treats of
his efforts to escape Glooscap.

_Mickemnise._ The good fellow. I have also heard the
Ouargamiss called Mickeminn.

_Hespens._ The raccoon.

_Quarbet._ The giant beast.

_M'Sartoo._ The Morning Star.

_Consuce._ The ancients; said to be the fabricators of stone
things. These were the makers of the stone axes or tomahawks
which are found in the territory once inhabited by the
Passamaquoddies.

The accompanying plate illustrates the above mentioned story of Pogump

Since the above was written, I have spent some time at Zuni Pueblo,
New Mexico, during which my studies of aboriginal language with the
phonograph were continued. While it is too early to state the exact
