vnYAT STOCK (syn. Wishoskan).
A small group constituting by itself a distinct lin-
guistic stock and destitute of any real tribal subdivisions
or popular name other than Hiunboldt Bay.
Their habitat since earliest traditional times has been
on the northern California coast in the vicinity of
Humboldt Bay, Humboldt County. They have not
been located on any reservation and are to-day scat-
tered throughout their original territory. The num-.
ber enumerated in 1910 was 152, all in California.
TAKONAN STOCK.
Stock as a whole.—A small Oregon stock, formerly
occupying an area along the coast in Lincoln, Lane,
and Douglas Counties.
The Lidians of the Yakonan stock, as enumerated
ia 1910, numbered 55. The tribes of this stock, for
which members were reported, are as follows
Alsea. Siuslaw. Yaquina.
Alsea.—The habitat of the Alsea, when first known
to Europeans in the beginning of the nineteenth century,
was on Alsea Bay and River in southern Lincoln
and Benton Counties, Oreg. A reservation was estab-
lished for them in this vicinity at first, but about 1870
they were moved to the Siletz Eeservation, and a few
were later placed at Grande Ronde. The remnant are
now mainly located at Siletz. The number enumerated
in 1910 was 29, of which 27 were in Oregon.
Siuslaw.—The southernmost of the tribes compos-
ing this stock. Their habitat, when first known to
Europeans at the beginning of the nineteenth century,
was on the Siuslaw River and the adjacent coast in
western Lane County, Oreg. They were gathered at
an early date on the Alsea Reservation and transferred
later to the Siletz Reservation where the remnant still
resides. The Siuslaw, as enumerated in 1910, numbered
7, all in Oregon.
Yaquina.—^A small tribe living in the early nineteenth
century about Yaquina Bay, Lincoln County,
Oreg. The remnant is now mainly located on the
SUetz Reservation. The number enumerated in 1910
was 19, of which 13 were in Oregon *and 6 in Wash-
ington.
TANAN STOCK (syn. Nozi).
The only surviving subdivision of this small stock,
which occupied a small area in northern California, in
northeastern Tehama, and the adjacent parts of Shasta
County as far north as Round Mountain. In 1864
nearly the entire tribe, then numbering about 3,000,
was massacred by miners. The whole stock is to-day
practically extinct, only 39 having been enumerated
in 1910, all in California.

of the survivors are now located on the Tule

throughout the area of their former habitat. Of the
many subdivisions formerly existing, representatives
of the Choinimni, Chookiminah, Chukchansi, Kashowoo,
