central part of southern Guatemala. Their territory formerly in- 
cluded the area between Lake Atitlan and the vicinity of the present 
city of Guatemala, and extended southward to the Pacific Ocean, 
embracing the noted ruins of Santa Lucia and Iximchi. This area 
connects on the north and west with that of the Kiche, and on the 
east with the Pokomam and the Pipil territory. Among the impor- 
tant towns included are Solola, Tecpam, Chumaltenango, and An- 
tigua. The diminished area on Sapper’s map is included in that given 
by Stoll, except at the northeast, where Sapper extends it northward 
to the Rio Grande (Motagua). This discrepancy is due chiefly to the 
difference in the maps with respect to the location of the river. 
Pupuluca (a)—The vocabulary on which this supposed dialect is 
based was taken by Dr. Karl Scherzer (28-37) at St. Mary near 
Antigua, which is included in the Cakchikel territory. Doctor Brin- 
ton’s assertion ($2153) that ‘‘it is nothing more than the ordinary 
Cakchiquel dialect of that locality”? seems to be justified by a com- 
parison of the vocabularies, the difference arising chiefly from 
Scherzer’s method of spelling and the insertion of prefixes. Scherzer 
names it ‘‘Pupuluca Cakchikel.”’ It is not entitled to a place as a 
dialect. 
TZUTUHIL 
(Synonym: Zuiuhil) 
This is a dialect of the Kiche division spoken over a small area 
around the southern shore of Lake Atitlan, with the ancient Atitlan 
as its chief pueblo. The territory of the tribe is wedged in between 
the Kiche and Cakchikel areas. The bounds given by Stoll and Sap- 
per are substantially the same and are followed on the accompany- 
ing map. 
UsPANTECA 
The dialect of a small tribe situated near the center of Guatemala, 
precisely at the meeting point of the Kiche, Ixil, and Pokonchi ter- 
ritories, and, according to Stoll’s map, in the great bend of the Chixoy 
river (Rio Negro). The chief pueblo is San Miguel Uspantan. ‘Sap- 
per’s map places the area slightly farther from the river. 
KEKCHI 
(Synonyms: K’aktchi or Quekchi) 
Kekchi was spoken by a considerable tribe in central Guatemala. 
The area occupied spread out on both sides of the upper Caha- 
bon river, extending westward to the river Chixoy, including the 
Coban, San Pedro Carcha, Cahabon, and Lanquin pueblos. Pinart 
(4: preface) says this language is spoken throughout the ancient 
province of Vera Paz, and that it has various dialects. It is classed
