REMARKS. 
A few miles from the present pueblo of Zuñi are situated on a mesa, or elevated table-land, 
the ruins of the old town which Mr. Squier has demonstrated to be the Cibola that figures so 
largely in the account of the first explorers of New Mexico under Coronado. For in the narra- 
tive of Espejo’s visit to that country about forty years afterwards, as given by Hakluyt, it is 
said, ** Twenty-four leagues from hence, towards the west, they came to a certain province called. 
by the inhabitants themselves ZUNY, and by the Spaniards Greet. 
The only Zuñi vocabularies heretofore published are one in the report of Lieut. Simpson, 
and another, furnished by Capt. Eaton, in Schoolcraft’s fourth volume. That of Mr. Whipple, 
which was obtained by himself from a native of the tribe, agrees very well with both the pre- 
ceding. Here, too, it will be observed that the accent is, almost without exception, on the first 
syllable of each word. It has been remarked by the judicious Gregg that there are but three 
or four different languages spoken among the Pueblo Indians, and that these may be distantly 
allied to each other. comparison of the Zuiii vocabulary with those of the Keres would not 
lead us to infer any radical affinity whatever between the languages. It is to be hoped that, 
of the intelligent men now permanently settled in New Mexico, and especially the missiona- 
ries stationed among these interesting peoples, some may be willing to devote themselves to a 
study of the grammatical structure of their languages, so that we may ascertain the exact 
nature of the relationship in which they stand to each other.
