standards Of time or of measurement,

instance which throws no little light on
the difficulties of enumerating the red

Only the very young children, who
have been educated in the government
schools" he says, have any knowledge
of their ages or births. and the agents
were INSTRUCTED to use the age and
birth months as nearly as talk and

with them is computed on suns and

riages. separations, births and deaths
are all based upon such calculations,
and we were obliged to base our in

Other Difficulties.
That there were other difficulties in
getting the facts regarding the aborig-
ines is indicated by the following from
the report:
Many of the Indians know suffi-
cient number of English words to do
business with a white man, but when
1t was determined that they were to
