Material in the "Chinook" section consists of 2 notebooks (item S4.1), partially in shorthand, by Boas from 1890, with vocabularies and texts with interlinear translation, ethnographic notes in shorthand. A table of contents is included with notebooks, which also have Nehelim, Siletz, Chinookan, Wasco-Wishram, Klackamas, Clatsop, and Chinook information, along with physical notes on Songhees skulls from an earlier field work trip.
