(1) Northern Paiute vocabulary recorded by Powell in a partial Introduction to the Study of Indian Languages schedule (1880).  The vocabulary is titled in Powell's hand "Numu, Western Shoshone, Western Nevada." This title is in error; the vocabulary is not Shoshone.  The vocabulary contains the schedules for 1. Persons; 2. Parts of the Body; 17. Kinship; and 25. Number and Gender of Nouns.  Four sheets of letterhead stationary with additional notes have been interfiled.  A note on Schedule 17. Kinship states "All these terms corrected by extra sheets 1-19" [see (2) below].

(2) "Extra sheets" containing kinships terms.

(3) Copies of kinship terms copied from Schedule 17. Kinship.
