Excerpt from Contributions to North American Ethnology, Vol. 6 After his return to Washington in 1880, the author arranged for several Indians Of the Omaha and Ponka tribes to visit Washington for the purpose of aiding him in the revision of his work. From these Indians and Mr. Frank lafleche (see page 525) he gained additional myths and stories, which, with numerous letters recorded chiefly at the Omaha Agency, form Part II. It has been decided to publish the remaining letters in a bulletin Of the Bureau of Ethnology, under the title Of Omaha and Ponka Letters. This bulletin, with the present monograph and the publications named on pp. Xvii and xviii, will contain all the (liegiha texts, phrases, and sentences collected bv the author.
