Dieguenos. A collective name, prob- 

 ably in part synonymous with Comeya, 

 applied by the Spaniards to Indians of 

 the Yuman stock who formerly lived in 

 and around San Diego, Cal., whence the 

 term; it included representatives of many 

 tribes and has no proper ethnic sig- 

 nificance; nevertheless it is a firmly es- 

 tablished name and is here accepted to 

 include the tribes formerly living about 

 San Diego and extending s. to about lat. 

 31° 30^. A few Dieguenos still live in the 

 neighborhood of San Diego. There are 

 about 400 Indians included under this 

 name as attached to the Mission agency of 

 California, but they are n( iw ollicially rec- 

 ognized as part of the "Mission Indians." 

 The rancherias formerly occupied by the 

 Dieguenos, so far as known, are: Abascal, 

 Awhut, Cajon, Camaial, Campo, Capitan 

 Grande, CenyowprcHkel(?), Cojuat, Co-

Dig-ger. Said l:)y Powell to be the Eng- 

 lish translation of Nuanuints, the name of 

 a small tribe near St George, s. w. Utah. 

 It was the only Paiute tribe practising 

 agriculture, hence the original significa- 

 tion of the name, "digger." In time the 

 name was ajaplied to every tribe known 

 to use roots extensively for food and hence 

 to be "diggers." It thus included very 

 many of the tribes of California, Oregon, 

 Idaho, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona, 

 tribes speaking widely different languages 

 and embracing perhaps a dozen distinct 

 linguistic stocks. As the root-eaters were 

 supposed to represent a low type of In- 

 dian, the term speedily became one of 

 opprobium. (h. w. h. )

Dighton Rock. A mass of silicious con- 

 glomerate lying in the margin of Taunton 

 r. , Bristol co. , Mass. , on which is an ancient, 

 probably prehistoric, inscription. The 

 length of the face measured at the base is 

 Hi ft. and the height.a little more than 

 5 ft. The whole face, to within a few 

 inches of the ground, is covered wuth the 

 inscription, which consists of irregular

lines and outline figures, a few having a 

 slight resemblance to runes; others tri- 

 angular and circular, among which can 

 be distinguished 3 outline faces. The ear- 

 liest copy was that of Danforth in 1680. 

 Cotton Mather copied a part as early as 

 1690 and sent a rude woodcut of the entire 

 inscription to the Royal Society of Great 

 Britain in 1712. Copies were also made
