federacy, Texas was sometimes, in later 

 Spanish days, contined to it. For the 

 same reason the name Hasiiiai was some- 

 times restricted to this tribe. In 1822 

 Morse (Rep. to Sec. War, 373) applied the 

 term T(!'.)-vfs exchisively to the Nabedache 

 village, which still occu]iied its i)rimitive 

 site on the "Nechez, at the junction of 

 the Bayou St Pedro." In 1S34 Col. Al- 

 monte seems to have applied it to all the 

 survivors ot the old Hasinai group except 

 the Nacogdoches (Noticia Estadistica, 

 table 3, 1835). (n. e. b.)
