Major J. W. Powell, in his elaborate and complete work on American 

 Linguistic Families, gives the following statistics of the Denes or 

 Athapascans : " The present number of the Athapascan family is about 

 32,899, of whom about 8,595, constituting the northern group, are in 

 Alaska and British North America, according to Dall, Dawson, and the 

 Canadian Indian Report of 1888; about 895, comprising the Pacific 

 group, are in Washington, Oregon, and California : and abont 23,409) 

 belonging to the Southern group, are in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado 

 and Indian territory. Besides these are the Lipan and some refugee 

 Apache who are in Mexico. These have not been included in the above 

 enumeration, as there are no means of ascertaining their number." M. 

 Malte-Brun, writing in 1878, gives no statistics of the Mexican group, 

 but furnishes the names of tribes included in it. He says : " The 

 Apaches or Yavipei constitute a barbarous nation which has no fixed 

 abode. They wander through the northern provinces of Mexico, some- 

 times approaching the vicinity of Zacatecas. In their incursions they 

 commit all sorts of depredations, destroying and burning the pueblos^ 

 haciendas, and isolated farms. They are divided into several tribes ; the 

 most important are those of the Navajos, Gilenos, Mimbrcnos, Chafalotes, 

 Faraons, Llaneros or Lipillanes, and Lipans. They speak the same 

 language, which only varies in accent from tribe to tribe, so as not to 

 hinder their being mutually intelligible. They have no connection in 

 language or origin with the Comanches. The principal dialects of
