content: Consists of an index to the vocabularies in two volumes.   The index was likely created by either a Smithsonian Institution clerk just prior to the transfer of the material to Powell in 1876 or by a Geological Survey clerk just after receiving the material.  One volume is arranged in number order and contains the SI Number, language, and recorder of the vocabulary.  The second volume is arranged by language and only refers to the SI numbers.  The volume contains notes by Pilling indicating the language family to which the vocabularies belong and which vocabularies had been copied by clerks in late 1876-early 1877.
