Cocoyomes, A mythical people, said to 

 be regarded by some of the Tarahumare 

 as their ancient enemies, by others as 

 their ancestors; they are also spoken of 

 as having been the first people. They 

 were short of stature, lived in caves in 

 the high cliffs, and subsisted chiefly on 

 herbs, especially a small agave, and were 

 also cannibals. According to one version, 

 once when they were very bad the sun 

 came down and burned most of them to 

 death; the survivors escaped to 4 large 

 caves at Zapuri, in which they built adobe 

 houses, but the Tarahumare finally be- 

 sieged the place for 8 days, when the 

 Cocoyomes perished from hunger. An- 

 cient ruins near Morelos, s. of Batopilas, 

 in s. w. Chihuahua, Mexico, are also at- 

 tributed to them l)y the Tarahumare, 

 although according to Hrdlicka these are 

 of Tepehuane origin. See Lumholtz,
