ing in "the Zanas and Mayeyes, since 

 they are related to those already con- 

 verted" (ibid., xxviii, 203). As Massa- 

 net distinctly tells us that the Sana did 

 not speak the Coahuiltecan language, and 

 as the Mayeyes were quite evidently Ton- 

 kawan, the conclusion is that the Sana 

 also were Tonkawan. A considerable 

 list of words spoken by the Sana and 

 their congeners is extant, and a carefi^l 

 study of it will perhaps settle the point 

 (San Antonio de Valero Bautismos, be- 

 ginning with 1740, MS. ). In 1740 gentile 

 Sana began to enter San Antonio de Valero 

 mission in considerable numbers, and con- 

 tinued coming till about 1749. A study 

 of the records shows that before entering 

 the mission they were very closely inter- 

 related by marriage with tlie Tujo (Tou, 

 Too), Mayeye, Sijame, Tenu, and Au- 

 juiap tribes or subtribes. In 1743, 

 "Numa, of the Tou tribe, chief of the 

 Zanas," was baptized at the mission (San 

 Antonio de Valero Bautismos, partidas 

 494, 549, 579, 581, 608, 633, 635, 647, 675, 

 714, etc.). In 1793 the Sana were men- 

 tioned as one of the main tribes at San 

 Antonio de Valero (Revilla-Gigedo, 

 Carta, 195, in Die. Univ. de Hist, y de 

 Geog., V, 1854). 



The native pronunciation of the name 

 was perhaps Chanas, but the most fre- 

 quent spelling in the mission records is 

 Zanas. Cf. Sanukh. (h. e. b. )

San Agustin de Ahumada. A Spanish 

 presidio established in 1756 near the 

 mouth of Trinity r., Texas, to prevent 

 the French from trading and settling 

 among the Arkokisa and Bidai Indians, 

 who lived along the lower courses of that 

 stream and the Rio San Jacinto. Its 

 establishment was the direct result of the 

 arrest in 1754 (not 1757, as Morfl says) 

 of one Blancpain (or Lanpen), who was 

 trading in that vicinity among the Arko- 

 kisa. Bancroft gives the date of the 

 founding as 1755, but an official report 

 says that it was effected in consequence 

 of an order of Feb. 12, 1756. It is true, 

 however, that a temporary gari'ison was 

 considered in 1755. Bancroft also fixes 

 the first site about 100 m. up the Trinity, 

 but official documents show that it was 

 only about 2 leagues' distance from the 

 mouth. Near it was established, at about 

 the same time, Nuestra Seiiora de la Iaiz, 

 or Orcoquisac (Arkokisa), mission. 



Because of the unhealthfulness of the 

 site, a plan to remove the presidio to the 

 arroyo of Santa Rosa de Alcazar, a branch 

 of the Rio San Jacinto, in the center of 

 the Arkokisa country, was soon proposed; 



in 1757 the Viceroy ordered the plan car- 

 ried out ; and, according to an official 

 statement, it was accomplished before 

 Aug., 1760, but this seems to be an error. 

 Later, apparently in 1764, the presidio 

 was ordered moved to Los Horconsitos, 

 2 or 3 leagues n. of the original site, but 

 it appears that the removal was never 

 made. A few years afterward the presidio 

 was burned as the result of a quarrel, and 

 in 1772 its abandonment was ordered, 

 although this, as well as that of the mis- 

 sion, had already taken place (see Lamar

 Gila and Salado, s. Ariz. Taylor (Cal.

 mission founded by Kino in 1694, but this 

 is evidentlv an error.
