(1844). 3) Robert Hollow: A Mandan Dictionary (Unpubl. diss., Univ. of Calif. at Berkeley) 4) Edw. Kennard. "Mandan Grammar," in International Journal of American Linguistics, IX, 1-43. 5) Thomas Stephens: Madoc: An Essay on the Discovery of America by Madoc ap Owen Gwynedd in the Twelfth Century (London, 1893). 6) David Williams: "John Evans' Strange Journey," in The American Historical Review, LIV, No. 2, pp. 277-295 and No. 3, pp. 508-529. My former student, Kathryn Klar (c/o Dept. of Linguistics, Univ. of Calif., Berkeley, CA. 94720) might be of great help. She did a paper for me some years ago on "The Madoc Tradition: George Catlin's 'Welsh Indian' Vocabulary." Blake Lee Spahr
