TIE AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session began with severely scholarly
manuscript, by Prof. Allen, who the gauntlet Of tho
"Attc Second Declension" with exhaustive research
and infinite patience and possessing interest only for
those absorbed in the ncees III there are any of the
Greek language. Greek was still further and moro
deeply explored by DR.. Kendrick, who piled Ossa on
historical significance of the Greek Aspraes and tho
absruse papers are listened with earnest attention,
but perhaps 1t is not wholly matter or marvel
almost undsturbed 1t adds greatly TO the harmony OF
learned convention TO have an occasional paper beyond
the depth Of the takers.
THE ALGosKN INDIANS.
Prot. Joseph Anderson made some remarks on Tho
Agonkn Indians, who first 10 the attention Of tho

relationship OF I, the. the T9teo E Indians ms TO the

to Europeans, on the Meherrn River branch OF the
Chowan, In North Carolina, which emptes into Able

the Sioux, when first known Europeans, occupieda

whether this Tuteo tribe thrown off in anoma

the Dakotas brought that people at period OF their

INDIAN NUMERALS
Mr.. TTumbu, the distinguished Indian scholar, con.
tributed paper Of wide research "On mode OF count
ing used by the Wawenoc Indians in Maiue which, he
said served as others had claimed, in certain
to identify relics Of the early lcelandio
settlements on the American shores. The Wawenocks
were tribe band OF Abnaokis which became extinct
about 1850. Until that time they used these numerals IN
their intercourse with the whites, and the full
Identification OF this method win thTpw
food OF light early American history before the
advent Of Columbus. Mr.. Trumbull decides that
the numerals Welsh. Investigation proved
that other Indians had employed the same
methods, and Mr.. Trumbul thinks that the
Northmen If the numerals traced TO Morse origin,
had taken great pains disseminate the knowledge OF
their numerical system among the skrellings Of Vine
land and the suellngs must have had excellent mem
TO preserve the strange sounds with so little coup
tion for 700 800 years. Mr. Alexander j. Eis-who
seems to have done as tmuch as one great man
ean do TO furnish material for this ConVen-
ton to discuss--here 'comes to the rescue of
Mr.. Tumbull and discovers similar nufnerc system

rapid condensation, but is intended more for speca-
ists than general readers.
