Taking all these facts into consideration, it is believed that a careful 
study of the subject would result in a more definite application of the 
name, at least geographically. However, it has received no lin- 
cuistic consideration in the present paper, the majority of the groups 
formerly included under the name being herein placed in the Nahua- 
tlan family. 
TAMAULIPECO 
No attempt will be made at this time-to determine the tribes or | 
subtribes of the area so designated by Orozco y Berra on his map, 
further than what will be found in the notes below (page 45) on 
‘‘Names of tribes in northeastern Mexico not marked on the map.” 
PISONE AND JANAMBRE 
Orozco y Berra locates the area over which these tribes wandered 
at the southwest of the Tamaulipeco district, and says -(1: 298-299) 
it extended from the valley of the Purisima on the south to the Rio 
Blanco on the north, being bounded on the west by the district of 
the Guachichiles. However, according to his map, it connects on 
the southwest with the district assigned to the Pame. He says 
(1: 296) that the Pisone and Xanambre (Janambre) belong to 
the same “family” and speak the same language, which is “par- 
ticular.’ Arlegui (115), speaking of the Mission of San Antonio, 
says it was vexed by a warlike nation called Janambre. Orozco y 
~ Berra (1: 292, 293) speaks of them in like manner. 
Villa-Sefior (11, 56) locates some of the Indians of these tribes, 
somewhat definitely, at 20 leagues to the east of the pueblo of Tula. 
These tribes are now extinct, but they seem to have been in ex- 
istence as late as the first quarter of the eighteenth century. 
OLIVE 
Orozco y Berra locates on his map a small tribe with this name 
in the extreme southern portion of the Tamaulipeco district, on the 
southeastern border of the Pisone and Janambre territory. The 
name ‘‘Olive’’ is retained, as he informs us, because the proper 
native name is unknown. Nicolas Leén omits the tribe from his 
classification. 
This author (Orozco y Berra) says they resided in “ Horcasitas,” 
near San Francisco Xavier mission. According to his authorities, 
they were recent emigrants from ‘“‘Florida,’’ i. e., the region between 
the Rio Grande and the Atlantic Ocean, had a knowledge of firearms, 
and were light colored (1: 293). The language is extinct.
