 in the desert of s. Arizona 50 m. s. of the 

 Gila r., speak a dialect slightly different 

 from that of the Pima, and subsist by 

 agriculture. They manufacture better 

 pottery than that of their congeners, and 

 are said to have introduced cattle among 

 the Pima from the Mexicans about 1820. 

 They formerly made arrows of yucca 

 stalks which they bartered to their neigh- 

 bors. It is said that about the beginning 

 of the 18th century the Quahatika oc- 

 cupied with the Pima the village of Aqui- 

 tun (Akuchini, 'creek mouth'), w. of 

 Picacho, on the border of the sink of 

 Santa Cruz r., but abandoned it about 

 1800. Their chief settlement is Quijotoa.

Quahog. A name in use in New Eng- 

 land for the round or hard clam ( Vemis 

 mercenaria) ; spelt also quahaug. This 

 word is probably a reduction of poquaH,- 



hock in the Narraganset, the same as po- 

 quahoc in the Massachuset dialect of Al- 

 gonquian, the Indian name for this shell- 

 fish. The last half of the word has sur- 

 vived in English, while in Nantucket the 

 first part has come down as pooquaw. 

 The word appears also as cohog, and even 

 in the truncated form hog. As a place 

 name it appears in Quogue, a village in 

 Suffolk CO., N.Y. (a. F. c.) 



ftuaiapen. See Magnus.
