ward, we are again met b^ tbe didicult^ that little or no material is available, Lrom the stocks l^ing to tbe west- ward a large bodg ok material lias been collected b^ Or. H.. O. Xroeber and Or. L.

It would appear that, in general, tl>e mvtbologv ok ths Oupa, Wlsbosk, and tbe Lower Xlamatb Liver stocks -was Huits diKerent in t^pe krom that which is characteristic ok tlie Naidu. group. Oomo and Vuki, on tlie otlier hand, show "some relationship with tlie Louth- ern Wintun, and are through it thus distantly related to tlie Naidu. Northward almost a complete blank exists. Oxcept kor tlie kew m^tlis published l>v (latschet^ krom ths Hamath, and which seem to diKer considerably krom the Naidu t^ps, there is nothing available till we reach the Columbia, where, with the Chinook,^ the Xathlamet,^ and ths Killamookd compari sons ma^ be made. Comparing tbs Naidu m^ths with those ok these tribes, and ok others karther aKeld in Washington, British Columbia, and elsewhere, it appears that nowhere within this area do we Knd c^uite so complete a disassociation ok the trickster and culture-hero elements as exists among ths northeastern Calikornian tribes; nor, moreover, do we Knd that the creation anywhere assumes such an important place. Considering specific mvths and incidents, it appears that some have a wide distribution. Kbe two tales which have perhaps ths widest range are those ok the Lear and Oeer § and the girls who married ths stars.
