Elena in 32° N. lat." 1 Chatufo is mentioned in the narrative of a 
visit to the Florida missions by the Bishop of Cuba. Couexis is given in 
the French narratives; Men6ndez changing it to Cansin. 2 Posache is 
located "in the island of Guale. " Tolomato is described in one 
place as "2 leagues from Guale," and in another as on the mainland 
near the bar of Capala (Sapello), and it is said to have been a place 
from which one could go to the Tama Indians on the Altamaha 
River. Uchilape is located "near Tolomato." Yfusinique was the 
name of the town to which the chief Juanillo of Tolomato retired 
after the massacre of the friars and where the other Indians be- 
sieged him. Yoa is said to have been 2 leagues by a river behind 
an arm of the sea back of the bars of Qapala and Cofonufo (Sapello 
and St. Catherines Sounds). Large vessels could come within 1 
league of it and small vessels could reach the town. 3 In the account 
of the massacre of the missionaries in 1597 Asopo (or Assopo) is de- 
scribed as "in the island of Guale." 4 
Aluste (Alieste, Alueste, Aluete), Oya, Orista, Talapo (Talapuz or 
Ytalapo), Ufalague (also spelled Ufalegue), Aobi, and Sufalate must 
be classed as belonging properly to the Cusabo, the first five on the 
basis of the information quoted above from Ibarra, and the last from 
its association with Ufalague. Aobi may be intended, as already sug- 
gested, for Ahoyabi. 5 Although mentioned in connection with the 
northern group of towns, they left the Cusabo country and settled 
in the southern group, where Talapo and Ufalague are frequently 
referred to. 
The central towns were Aleguifa; Chucalagaite (Chucaletgate, Chu- 
calate, Chucalae) ; Espogache (Aspoache) ; Espogue (Hespogue, Ospo- 
gue, Espo, Ospo, Espoque) ; Fosquiche (Fasque) ; Sapala (Qapala, 
Capala); Sotequa; Tapala; Tulufina (Tolufina, Tolofina) ; Tupiqui 
(Topiqui, Tuxiqui, Tupica) ; Utine (Atinehe). 
Chiefs called Fuel, Tafecauca, Tumaque, and Tunague are also 
mentioned, the last two distinct persons in spite of the close resem- 
blance between their names. All of these towns and chiefs, except 
Espogache, Tulufina, Aleguifa, and Chucalagaite, are given by 
Ibarra. Fasquiche and Espogache were evidently not far from 
Espogue. The last mentioned was on the mainland not more than 
6 leagues from Talaxe. 6 Fasquiche is given in the account of a 
visit to the Florida missions by the Bishop of Cuba. Tulufina appears 
to have been a place or tribe of importance intimately connected 
with the interior Indians; the other two are placed "near Tulufina." 
1 This is about a third of a degree too far north. From this statement it appears that the town of Guale 
was on Ossabaw Island, and this agrees with the position given it on LeMoyne's map, on an island between 
the mouths of the rivers Grande and Belle. 
2 if we follow Le Moyne we must place this on St. Catherines Island. (See preceding note.)
