content: "Yerigen" [Chukchi] and "Tchuktchi" [Siberian Yupik (Eskimo)] Vocabularies collected by John Baer, U.S. Marines, on the United States North Pacific Exploring Expedition and entered into a Powell-Department of the Interior Comparative Vocabulary schedule. A note by Pilling on the document indicates that the notebook from which the vocabularies were copies was "loaned to us by the Hydrographic Office Ap. [April] 23, 1879." The notebook was permanently transferred to the Bureau of American Ethnology in 1906 and is now in the George Gibbs collection.

content: List of Tchuktchi words collected in Glasenop Harbor Straits of Seniavine west side of Behring's Straits. The Yerigen words are those of the tribes being near the tents. The Chak-lock words are those of the inhabitants of the Island Chak-lock, about two miles to the southward. Those tribes are at peace and have constant communication with one another. Their customs, dress and appearance are the same as far as we could judge.
