 called La Bahia, which was built on the 

 site of La Salle's ill-fated Ft St Louis, on 

 Lavaca r., Matagorda bay, Tex., in the 

 territory of the Karankawa. The Span- 

 ish mission, of which Fray Agustin Pat- 

 ron was the first missionary, was aban- 

 doned before 1726, its priest establishing 

 a new one among the Tamique and Ju- 

 ranames (Aranama), who lived 10 leagues 

 inland, on lower San Antonio r., and in 

 1749 it was moved upstream opposite the 

 site of the modern Goliad. The presidio 

 of La Bahi'a was shifted with the mission. 

 In 1768 its population was 300, and to that 

 date there had been 623 baptisms; there 

 were also 1,500 cattle and 100 horses, and 

 it is said once to have had 15,000 cattle. 

 The population, which consisted of Ara- 

 nama, Tamique, Piguican, ManosdePerro, 

 Kohani, and Karankawa Indians, had 

 dwindled to 116 in 1785 (in which year 

 there were also 3,000 cattle), and to only 33
