  Derivation: 
  A 
  Spanish 
  word 
  meaning 
  "butterfly," 
  applied 
  to 
  a 
  

   county 
  in

  and

  taken 
  for 
  the

  Latham 
  mentions 
  the 
  remnants 
  of 
  three 
  distinct 
  bands 
  of 
  the 
  

   Coconoon, 
  each 
  with 
  its 
  own 
  language, 
  in 
  the 
  north 
  of 
  Mariposa 
  

   County. 
  These 
  are 
  classed

  under 
  the 
  above 
  name.

   recently 
  the 
  tribes 
  speaking 
  languages 
  allied

  the 
  Coconun 
  have 
  

   been 
  treated 
  of 
  under 
  the 
  family 
  name 
  Yakut. 
  As. 
  however, 
  the 
  

   stock 
  was 
  established 
  by 
  Latham 
  on 
  a 
  sound 
  basis, 
  his 
  name 
  is 
  here 
  

   restored.
