 Professor Krapp has made two surprising discoveries in this work.

The second Is that there arc no dia- lects in the United States, no self rerretuating local vocabularies, en- during generation after generation and comparable to the local dialects of England and France, the Corn ish and the Yorkshire, the Breton and tho Gascon.
