Notebook of botanical survey by Teit containing plant names listed alphabetically by Latin scientific name, with notes on English names, observations on how common, notes on locations and some uses, and info on places Teit has seen as them. Locations primarily given are those in general tradition territories of Nlaka'pamux ("Thompson Indians") such as Spuzzum, Nicola, Fraser Canyon, and Spences Bridge, though Teit occasionally gives other locations where he has seen particular plants outside of these areas, elsewhere in British Columbia and in Washington State (e.g. Skykomish) as well. Includes one printed map of British Columbia enclosed within notebook showing areas of a botanical survey that may or may not related to Teit's own survey. Part of a larger file that contains associated loose manuscript pages with notes on similar topics, including Nlaka'pamux plant names.; ACLS section S1b.3. One of two parts.
Received funds from Sargent for purchasing baskets. If going to southern Interior Salish region will not go over to eastern parts such as Coeur d'Alene, but work from Nespelem, focus on Columbia, Sanpoil, Yakama, Chelan band of Columbia Salish. Describes route to get there and back, including planned stop at mouth of Kootenay River to collect vocabulary of Lakes (Sinixt) dialect of Colville, and returning via Similkameen. Will look for "American Thompson." Has new information on them, including from a man at Lytton and others described. Has recorded several thousand Nlaka'pamux words, and will have numerous texts soon. Will make short excursion for more info on basketry. More info on funding needs.
