content: The materials are included in volumes (Smithsonian Institution Comparative Vocabulary, May 1863) marked "2" and "3." Volume 1 has not been found. Included are both originals and copies of vocabularies that come from several different sources. Most of the material concern Indians of North and South America but there are also vocabularies of Cantonese and Chukchi. Most of the vocabularies are in printed schedules but a few are in the form of notes and one is part of a letter from Oscar Loew to Albert Samuel Gatschet.
