whites. Another authority says: "To 

 these habits and ext-ellence of character 

 may be attributed the fact that they are 

 annually increasing in numbers, and that 

 they are strong, healthy, active people. 

 Many of them are employed as laborers 

 on the farms of white men in all seasons, 

 but they are especially serviceable during 

 the time of harvesting and haymaking." 

 Aside from their earnings among the 

 whites, they derive subsistence from the 

 fish of the lakes, jackrabbits and small 

 game of the sage plains and mountains, 

 and from pinon nuts and other seeds, 

 which they grind into flour for bread. 

 Their ordinary dwelling is the wikiup, or 

 small rounded hut, of tule rushes over a 

 framework of poles, with the ground for 

 a floor and the fire in the center, and al- 

 most entirely open at the top. Strangely 

 enough, although appreciating the ad- 

 vantages of civilization so far as relates to 

 good clothing and to such food as they 

 can buy at the stores, they manifest no 

 desire to live in permanent houses or to 

 procure the furniture of civilization, and 

 their wikiups are almost bare of every- 

 thing excej^ting a few wicker or grass 

 baskets of their own weaving.

Paiute Snakes. Given as a Shoshoni 

 band on Klamath res., Oreg. 



Piute Snakes.— Ind. Aff. Rep., 344, 1873. 



Pajalat. One of three tribes mentioned- 

 by Espinosa (Chronica Apostolica, i, 459, 

 1746) as living near San Antonio r., 

 Texas, when the Franciscan missions 

 were removed thither in 1730-31. The 

 other two were the Pacao and Pitalaque 

 (probably the same as the Pachalaque). 

 There were numerous Pajalat in Concep- 

 cion mission before 1748, and they inter- 

 married there freely with the Patumacas, 

 Pujanes (Cujanes?), Patalcas, and Tilpa- 

 copales (MS., records of the mission). 

 They are eiven as a tribe distinct from 

 the Pachalaque in the records of Con- 

 cepcion mission ; for instance, one mis- 

 sionary records marrying a Pajalat and 

 a Pachalaque, which is evidence that 

 these were not considered merely two 

 forms of the same name, though they were 

 probably closely related. According to 

 Gatschet there was a Tonkawa gens or 

 subtribe bearing the same name (Pa^a- 

 latch, 'mouth open'). (h. e. b.)
