Magdalena de Temoris was situated in the partido of Santa 
Teresa de Guazapares, and spoke the same language, that 
is, Guazapare, a dialect of Tarahumare (Orozco y Berra, 
1 :324, 326). 
Whburones. (22 5.i2.t2 A name sometimes applied to the Seri, especially those resid- 
ing on Tiburon island (McGee, 128 et seq.). 
‘TPoranies. lan 2e tee ee Seems to have been a name applied to certain Indians living 
in the district of Zentispac, in Jalisco, and bordering on 
the Cora and Tepehuane. An associated group was known 
as Zayahuecos (Orozco y Berra, 1: 278). Nothing is said by 
this author in regard to their language. 
Zuaques (Suaqui).... These are to be distinguished from the Zuaques, heretofore 
described as belonging to the Yaqui group. It is properly 
Suaqui and denotes merely the Pima inhabitants of Suaqui, 
a pueblo in the extreme northern portion of the Lower 
Piman territory. 
CoNcHO 
In passing to the northern central and northeastern districts one 
enters a region where nearly all the aboriginal languages have become 
extinct, and the little that remains on record in regard to them is 
not sufficient to make possible their classification with any degree 
of certainty. The most that can be done is to gather up the scat- 
tered notices of them found in the early Spanish writings and from 
these lay off the areas in such manner as seems most consistent with 
the data. This has been done by Orozco y Berra, who had access 
not only to the published works but also to the manuscript docu- 
ments. His map, therefore, has been followed somewhat closely so 
far as this region is concerned. 
The Concho resided immediately east of the Tarahumare, chiefly 
along the river that bears their name, from near its headwaters to its 
junction with the Rio Grande del Norte. The exact lateral bounda- 
ries of the territory occupied are not known, those given on the 
map being largely conjectural. Alegre (m1, 58) says this “nacion,” 
sufficiently numerous, extended to the banks of the Rio Grande del 
Norte; that they were confined on the north by the marshes and on 
the south held some pueblos of the Tepehuane; and “ Valle de Santa 
Barbara.” 
Orozco y Berra (1: 325) says they spoke a ‘particular language 
called Concha.” Although this statement is not sufficient of itself 
to indicate that it was without any known or supposed affinities, 
what follows in the same connection and in his classification (1:55) 
indicates that he considered it a distinct dialect of his ‘‘ Mexicano,” 
under which he classifies it, thus bringing it into the Nahuatlan 
family. 
It is asserted by Hervas and others that the missionaries contended 
that they spoke a dialect of, or a language related to, the Mexican—
