  INDIAN 
  LINGUISTIC 
  FAMILIES. 
  

  

  The 
  group 
  established 
  by 
  Latham 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  Salinas 
  is 
  a 
  

   heterogeneous 
  one, 
  containing 
  representatives 
  of 
  no 
  fewer 
  than 
  four 
  

   distinct 
  families. 
  Gioloco, 
  which 
  he 
  states 
  "may 
  possibly 
  belong 
  to 
  

   this 
  group, 
  notwithstanding 
  its 
  reference 
  to 
  the 
  Mission 
  of 
  San 
  

   Francisco," 
  really 
  is 
  congeneric 
  with 
  the 
  vocabularies 
  assigned 
  by 
  

   Latham 
  to 
  the 
  Mendocinan 
  family. 
  The 
  "Soledadof 
  Mofras" 
  be- 
  

   longs 
  to 
  the 
  Costanoan 
  family 
  mentioned 
  on 
  page 
  348 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  

   essay, 
  as 
  also 
  do 
  the 
  Ruslen 
  andCarmel. 
  Of 
  the 
  three 
  remaining 
  forms 
  

   of 
  speech, 
  Eslen, 
  San 
  Antonio, 
  and 
  San 
  Miguel, 
  the 
  two 
  latter 
  are 
  re- 
  

   lated 
  dialects, 
  and 
  belong 
  within 
  the 
  drainage 
  of 
  the 
  Salinas 
  River. 
  

   The 
  term 
  Salman 
  is 
  hence 
  applied 
  to 
  them, 
  leaving 
  the 
  Eslen 
  lan- 
  

   guage 
  to 
  be 
  provided 
  with 
  a 
  name. 
  

  

  Population. 
  — 
  Though 
  the 
  San 
  Antonio 
  ami 
  San 
  Miguel 
  were 
  prob- 
  

   ably 
  never 
  very 
  populous 
  tribes, 
  the 
  Missions 
  of 
  San 
  Antonio 
  and 
  

   San 
  Miguel, 
  when 
  first 
  established 
  in 
  the 
  years 
  1771 
  and 
  1779, 
  con- 
  

   tained 
  respectively 
  1,400 
  and 
  1,200 
  Indians. 
  Doubtless 
  the 
  larger 
  

   number 
  of 
  these 
  converts 
  were 
  gathered 
  in 
  Lie 
  near 
  vicinity 
  of 
  the 
  

   two 
  missions 
  and 
  so 
  belonged 
  to 
  this 
  family. 
  In 
  1884 
  when 
  Mr. 
  

   Henshaw 
  visited 
  the 
  missions 
  he 
  was 
  able 
  to 
  learn 
  of 
  the 
  existence 
  of 
  

   only 
  about 
  a 
  dozen 
  Indians 
  of 
  this 
  family, 
  and 
  not 
  all 
  of 
  these 
  could 
  

   speak 
  their 
  own 
  language.
