tion to these areas in the United States, tribes of this
stock occupied most of the peninsula region of Ontario
and the shores of the St. Lawrence as far down as
Queibec or below.
The Indians of the Iroquoian stock in the United
States, as enumerated in 1910, numbered 39,679. To
this figure should be added probably about 1,500 to
2,000 for Indians of this stock reported without distinction
of tribe, among the general population in New
York, North CaroHna, Tennessee, South Carolina, and
Oklahoma, making a probable total of over 41,000 in
all. The tribes of this stock, for which members
were reported, are as follows
Cayuga. Oneida. Seneca.
Cherokee. Onondaga. Tuecarora.
Mohawk. St. Regis. Wyandot.
Cayuga.—One of the five tribes of the Well-known
Iroquois Confederacy. Their habitat, when first
known to Europeans in the seventeenth century, was
in the vicinity of Cayuga Lake, N. Y. At the close of
the eighteenth century the majority emigrated to
Canada, where they are now living on a reservation in
Ontario. Of the remainder, part moved to Oklahoma
and part to Wisconsin, where they are living with the
Oneida, but were not returned as Cayuga in the present
census. Those remaining in New York are located
mainly on the Cattaraugus and Tonawanda Reserva-
tions.
The number enumerated in 1910 was 81, of which 53
were in New York and 17 in Oklahoma. The Commis-
sioner of Indian Affairs reported 182 for this tribe in
New York in 1910, and a practically stationary popular-
tion for the past 35 years. The great difference between
this figure and the census report is due probably
to the enumeration by the census of many Indians
without distinction of tribe among the general popula-
tion. The figures for this tribe in New York since
1875, as given in the Indian reports, are as follows:
