bwahton] KAIMA IIISToky OF THE CREEK INDIANS 189 
Yuchi tribes appear in history. In view of the already formidable 
number of these Yuchi identifications — Hogologe, Tahogale, Chiska, 
Westo, Rickohockan — he would have preferred some other out- 
come. Imt we must be guided by facts and these facts point in one 
and the same direction. 
The first significant circumstance is that, with one or two easily 
explained exceptions, wherever the name Tamahita or any of its 
synonyms is used none of the other terms bestowed upon the Yuchi 
occurs. This is true of the De Crenay map (pi. 5), of the French 
census of 1750/ and of the list of tribes incorporated into the Creek 
confederacy given by Adair. 2 The only exceptions are where dif- 
ferent bands might be under consideration. Thus in the census of 
1761 "Tomhctaws" are mentioned in connection with the Koasati 
living near the junction of the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers, Ala- 
bama, while the Yuchi among the Lower Creeks and those which 
had formerly been on the Choctawhatchee are entered under their 
proper names. 3 Romans, too, speaks of a town of "Euchas" 
among the Lower Creeks and in a different part of his work of a 
former tribe called "Tomeehetee" which gave its name to a bluff 
on the Tombigbee River. 4 These exceptions, however, are not of 
much consequence. 
In the second place the names of almost all of the other important 
('reek tribal subdivisions do occur alongside of the Tamahita. On the 
De Crenay map and in the French census of 1750 this tribe is located 
among the Lower Creeks, alongside of the Coweta, Kasihta, Apa- 
lachicola, Sawokli, Osochi, Eufaula, Okmulgee, Oconee, Hitchiti, 
Chiaha, and Tamali. 5 Adair gives them as one of a number of "broken 
tribes" said to have been incorporated with the Creeks proper, and 
lie seems to have been familiar only with those living among the Upper 
Creeks, for the others mentioned in connection with them were all 
settled here, viz, Tuskegee, Okchai, Pakana, "Witumpka, Shawnee, 
Natchez, and Koasati. As incorporated tribes among the Lower 
Creeks he notes the Osochi, Oconee, and Sawokli. In other places 
where Tamahita are mentioned among the Upper Creeks we find, 
in addition to the above, the Okchaiutci, Kan-tcati (Alabama), 
people of Coosa Old Town, and Muklasa, while the Tawasa are given 
in the census of 1750 and on the De Crenay map of 173^ as entirely 
distinct. 5 
Taking the Lower Creek towns by themselves we find all of the 
towns accounted for except the Yuchi towns and two or three which 
were located upon Chattahoochee River for a very brief period. 
These last were a Shawnee town, Tuskegee, Kolomi, Atasi, and per-
