Coyoteros (Span. : ' wolf-men ' ; so called 

 in consequence, it is said, of their sub- 

 sisting partly on coyotes or prairie wolves 

 (Gregg, Com. Prairies, i, 290, 1844); but 

 it seems more probable that the name 

 was applied on account of their roving 

 habit, living on the natural products of 

 the desert rather than by agriculture or 

 hunting). A division of the Apache, 

 geographically divided into the Pinal 

 Coyoteros and the White Mountain Co- 

 yoteros, whose principal home was the 



w. or s. w. part of the present White 

 Mountain res., e. Ariz., between San 

 Carlos cr. and Gila r., although they 

 ranged almost throughout the limits of 

 Arizona and \v. New Mexico. The name 

 has evidently Ijeen indiscriminately ap- 

 plied to various Apache bands, especially 

 to tiie Pinal Coyoteros, who are but a 

 jiart of the Coyoteros. They were said

 Carlos Agency in 1886, 647 in 1900, and
