  160

  the 
  Santa

  San

  Rivers, 
  tributaries 
  

   of 
  the

  are 
  no

  known. 
  The 
  Papago 
  territory 
  is 
  much 
  

   more 
  extensive 
  and 
  extends 
  to 
  the 
  south 
  across 
  the 
  border. 
  In 
  

   recent 
  times 
  the 
  two 
  tribes 
  have 
  been 
  separated, 
  but 
  the 
  Pima 
  ter- 
  

   ritory 
  as 
  shown 
  upon 
  the 
  map 
  was 
  formerly 
  continuous 
  to 
  the 
  Gila 
  

   River. 
  

  

  According 
  to 
  Buschmann, 
  Gatschet, 
  Brinton, 
  and 
  others 
  the 
  Pima 
  

   language 
  is 
  a 
  northern 
  branch 
  of 
  the 
  Nahuatl, 
  but 
  this 
  relationship 
  

   has 
  yet 
  to 
  be 
  demonstrated.
