This study of the dialects composing the Salinan linguistic group was begun in September, 1910, when the author made a visit to the neighborhood of the old Mission of San Antonio in Monterey County, where live the few remaining members of the group. In 1916 the author collected a series of mythological texts from an Antoniaño and a Migueleño Indian. Contents: Phonology, phonetic processes, morphology, texts, vocabulary.
