NOTE ON ESKIMO BIBLIOGRAPHY. By SHELDON JACKSON, United States General Agent of Education in Alaska. A very complete "Bibliography of the Eskimo Language" has been compiled by Mr. James C. Pilling, and published by the Bureau of Ethnology, Washington, D. C. Whoever examines its pages must be impressed with the large number of persons who have unpublished manuscripts, containing from a score to a few hundred words; the large number of printed reports of Arctic explorations, which contain a partial list of words and phrases; and the fact that there is not a single comprehensive English-Eskimo vocabulary in print, and accessible to teachers and others, among the Alaskan Eskimos. Among the most important in the past are— Dr. Benjamin S. Barton's Vocabulary of the Greenlanders (from Cranz). 8 vo; pages, 132. Pub. Philadelphia, 1798. Eskimaux and English Vocabulary, compiled by Capt. John Washington, R. N., and published by order of the lords commissioners of the admiralty for the use of the Artic Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin. Oblong 12 mo. 160 pages. London. 1850. English-Aleutian Dictionary prepared by Stephen N. Buynitzky, and published by the Alaska Commercial Company. San Francisco, 1871. 8vo. 13 pp. The above are out of print. The most recent vocabulary that is available is that of Lieut. P. H. Ray, in the Report of the International Polar Expedition to Point Barrow. 4°. Washington, D. C., 1885. This volume gives 711 words and 307 phrases, as used by the Eskimo at Point Barrow. Perhaps the most important contribution to the Eskimo language is in process of preparation by L. M. Turner, in his observations made in 1882-1884, and will be published in connection with the Signal Service of the United States Army. It will contain a vocabulary of the Koksoaginyut of over 7,000 words; the Unalit of Norton Sound, 3,000 words; the Malimyut, Norton Sound, 250 words; and the Unalaska-Alyut Dictionary of 1,900 words.
