Beothuk and Micmac . ained in sciences other thanethnology are sufficient to warrant abso-lutely casting aside information which maybe of value, and which on the face of itdoes bear some semblance of July, 1910, I happened to talk overethnological matters with a family of Mic-mac who were temporarily camped nearGloucester, Mass. The family consisted ofan aged woman, her son, his wife and child(pi. xxxiv-xxxvi). They all spoke family name was Toney. On inquiringof the young man, Joe Toney, where he wasborn, he told me in Newfoundland. Thenbecoming more interested, I inquired if hismother was a native of Newfoundland, andhe replied that she was. After a few min-utes talk with his mother, he said that shewas not a true Micmac, but that her fatherwas an Osayana Indian from Red Pond,Newfoundland. This naturally startled me,because it referred indirectly to the suppos-edly extinct Beothuk. Further conversa-tion with the young man, who translated INDIAN NOTES SPECK—BEOTHUK AND MICMAC.
