I have in progress [[missing]] complete registry of the tribe showing linial and co.lateral descent. I have registered:

Families                                           292.
No. of persons thus included                       818
Names ^[[obtained]] of adults whose families are 
not yet registered                                 178
Making a total of names entered                    996
probably representing about 1550 persons.

I have reason to think I have not reached more than one half of the tribe, and that the Nez Perce Indians number from 2000 to 2500 persons, rather than 1200 as reported by the Agent in 1887.
