Vantabaj.es. See Tampa. 
\ i i be. I'-etween Soco and Teyo. Possibly the Guevu of Fontaneda. 
Yagua. Seacoast division. Between Tampa and Estantapaca. 
As stated above, the settlements on tlie east coast did not belong 
to a single province, although then 1 is reason to consider them 
as having constituted one linguistic group with the Calusa. 1 The fol- 
lowing settlements are mentioned, beginning at the southern end of 
this strip of coast: 
Tkkksta, Tegeb i a, Tequesta. Situated close to the present Miami. 
Tavuacio. 
Janar. As the writer who gives this is the same who records a town Janar among 
tin- ( lalusa we may assume that they are not identical. 
Cabista. 
oustegito. 
Jeaga, Geaga, Jega, Gega, Guega. This was located in the present Jupiter Inlet. 
According to Spanish writers it was 10 leagues north of Tekesta and 18 leagues 
south-southeast of Ais. 
Guacata, Cuacata. In one place Fontaneda speaks of this as a town on Lake May- 
aimi (Okeechobee*) and elsewhere as one of the provinces of the east coast. A 
Spanish document in the Lowery collection gives it as a place "in the land of 
Ays." It is possible that these people lived on St. Lucie River and camped 
farther inland than most of the coast people. In that case they would probably 
be identical with the people of the town afterwards known as Santa Lucia 
from a missionary establishment started among them. 
Tunsa. Given as a town or province "in the land of Ays."' But see Tunsa in the 
Timucua list. 
Ais, Ays, Aiz, IIayz. Jece. The chief of this town or province was the most powerful 
on the eastern coast. From Dickenson it appears that he was able to overawe 
all of the chiefs to the south of him as far as the Jeaga, and the "province of 
Ais " is made by the Spaniards to extend in the other direction nearly to Cape 
Canaveral. The capital town itself was near Indian River Inlet, and Indian 
River itself was known as "the river of Ais." This is sometimes called San 
Aguslin de Ais from an abortive missionary attempt made there. 
Ulumay (given in one place as Colomas). This is spoken of as a "province" and 
at the same time placed in the territory of Ais. It was near Cape Canaveral 
and on the borders of the south Florida linguistic area or areas. Fontaneda 
makes the language of Ais extend as far as Maiaca and Maiajuaca, but the 
first of these was Timucua, and there is reason to think that the Timucua tribes 
extended even farther south. See Surruque in the Timucua list. 
Ordonoy. A town in the province of Ulumay. 
Bovoche. A town in the province of Ulumay. 
Rea. A land or town of the province of Ais. (See p. 342.) It is doubtful whether 
this word has been correctly copied. 
* Harrisse has shown that the peninsula of Florida was almost 
certainly discovered and mapped with an approximation to accu- 
racy late in the fifteenth or early in the sixteenth century, a 
dozen years at least before the supposed discovery by Ponce de Leon 
in 1512 or 1513. 2 Still, if Florida does not owe her entry into Euro- 
pean history to the last-mentioned navigator, she unquestionably
