content: In 1892, Dorsey traveled to Lecompte, Rapides Parish, Louisiana, to work with the Biloxi and review and correct the linguistic information that Albert Gatschet had gathered during a previous trip in 1886. Dorsey and Gatschet's notes are in this subseries, as well as Dorsey's research on Tutelo, which includes vocabulary collected by J.N.B. Hewitt. Some of the materials were published posthumously in "A Dictionary of the Biloxi and Ofo Languages," Bureau of American Ethnology Bulletin 47.
