  Recent 
  investigation 
  by 
  Messrs. 
  Curtin 
  and 
  Hen- 
  

   shaw 
  have 
  confirmed 
  the 
  soundness 
  of 
  Latham's 
  views 
  and. 
  as 
  stated 
  

   under 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  Costanoan 
  family, 
  the 
  two 
  groups 
  of 
  languages 
  

   are 
  considered 
  to 
  be 
  distinct.

  Population. 
  — 
  Comparatively 
  few 
  of 
  the 
  Indians 
  of 
  this 
  family 
  

   survive, 
  and 
  these 
  are 
  mostly 
  scattered 
  in 
  the 
  mountains 
  and 
  away 
  

   from 
  the 
  routes 
  of 
  travel. 
  As 
  they 
  were 
  never 
  gathered 
  on 
  reser- 
  

   vations, 
  an 
  accurate 
  census 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  taken.

   County, 
  formerly 
  inhabited 
  by 
  the 
  Indians 
  of 
  this 
  family, 
  almost 
  

   none 
  remain.

  said 
  to 
  be 
  none
