teristics. This distinction was at most probably nothing more than 
dialectic, and possibly only inname. It is justifiable, therefore, con- 
sidering the data, to accept Orozco y Berra’s conclusion. 
Bancroft (1, 610) says, ““The TYobosos are north of the Tarahumares 
and in the Mission of San Francisco de Coahuila, in the State of 
Coahuila,” but this is evidently erroneous unless the reference is to 
scattered divisions. The location given on his map corresponds with 
this statement, the Tarahumare being placed along the extreme 
southern border of the state of Chihuahua. In the same volume 
(572) he says, ‘“‘East of the Tarahumares, in the northern part of 
the first-named state [Chihuahua], dwell the Conchos;’’ and the 
latter are placed on his map in the northern part of Chihuahua. 
PAKAWAN 
Coahuilteco was adopted by Maj. J. W. Powell as the basis of a 
family name, Coahuiltecan, which appears to have included numer- 
ous small tribes in southern Texas and the adjoining portions of 
Mexico along the lower part of the Rio Grande del Norte, but it has 
been thought by the present writer that the native name, Pakawan, 
used by Gatschet, is more appropriate. Major Powell remarks as fol- 
lows (68): 
On page 63 of his Geograffa de las Lenguas de México, 1864, Orozco y Berra gives a 
list of the languages of Mexico and includes Coahuilteco, indicating it as the lan- 
guage of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas. He does not, however, indicate 
its extension into Texas. It would thus seem that he intended the name as a gen- 
eral designation for the language of all the cognate tribes . . . In his statement that 
the language and tribes are extinct this author was mistaken, as a few Indians still 
(1886) survive, who speak one of the dialects of this family, and in 1886 Mr. Gatschet 
collected vocabularies of two tribes, the Comecrudo and Cotoname, who live on the 
Rio Grande, at Las Prietas, State of Tamaulipas. 
Bartolomé Garcia in his ‘‘Manual para administrar los Santos 
Sacramentos’’ (title-page) names 17 tribes speaking dialects of this 
language. Adolph Uhde (120 et seq.) gives the names and locations 
of 74, based on previous works and his personal observations. It is 
scarcely possible, however, that these should be understood as tribes. 
As the data are not sufficient to justify any attempt to locate the 
tribes or subtribes which dwelt south of the Rio Grande, except 
those identified by Doctor Gatschet, the writer has followed Orozco 
y Berra substantially in the area assigned to this family. Beyond 
this, with the exceptions mentioned, all is uncertainty and any 
conclusion mere guesswork. 
LAGUNEROS 
The people included by Orozco y Berra under the name “‘Trritilas’”’ 
are those to whom the missionaries and earlier authorities applied 
the term ‘‘Laguneros” adopted in the present work, the name
