Irup and S.iu Bernardino, etc., belonged to another 

 distinct tribe possessing a language not at all understood 

 by the above lodges, and although reduced by the Spanish 

 Missionaries to the same labor and religion, they never 

 amalgamated their blood, they being considered as much 

 inferior, and named /Sei'ranos or Mountaineers. 



The captains or chiefs of each lodge took its name fol- 

 lowed by ic, with sometimes the alteration of one or more 

 final letters. For instance, the chief of Azucsagna was 

 called Azucsavic; that of Sibagna, Sibapic. 



The title of a chief's eldest sou was Tomedr; of his 

 eldest daughter, Manisar. 



Suanga was the most populous village. 



The Cahuillas were named by the Spanish missionaries ; 

 thus misnamed as a tribal name, the word cahuilla signi- 

 fying master.
