The following three tales in the dialect of L&wak (i.e. Klawock on Prince of Wales Island) were dictated to me by Mr. Lester Roberts, the native informant who told me the two Linglt stories previously published in this journal.1 Boas's transcription of Tlingit,2 which has been employed3 in this as well as in the earlier paper, is entirely phonemic-with the exception of the use of the symbol o, which stands for a comparatively rare allophone of /a/ or /a/ after labials.
