. The world's inhabitants; or, Mankind, animals, and plants; being a popular account of the races and nations of mankind, past and present, and the animals and plants inhabiting the great continents and principal islands. opposite THE CANADIAN INDIANS. 721 Queen Charlottes Islands, is explained by tliem to mean men wlio goupon water, for they mostly travel from one village to anotherin their canoes. They are also generally known as Carriers.The men are finer specimens than the women, who are short and thick-set, and slovenly. They live largely on salmon and other fish; and catchbeavers and small game in nets and traps.

The men do much household work, and arevery proud and jealous of their wives; though unmarried girls haveevery liberty. They have many slaves, and treat them inhumanly.These people make cooking vessels of bark and of roots and fibres oftrees, so woven as to hold water; heated stones are placed in them toheat water and cook food.
