both the Cuchan and Diegeiio vocabularies have had the benefit of his corrections,

Yabipais (Yabapais, Yampais, Yampaio, Yampaos).—These people, who live to the north- 
east of the Mojaves, also belong to the Yuma stock. A couple of them visited Mr. Whipple's 
camp. He describes them as ‘‘ broad-faced fellows, with Roman noses and small eyes, some- 
what in appearance like the Diegeños of California." Their language also resembled that of 
the latter, as is evinced by the words hanna, good; n'yatz, I; pook, beads. Their hair he de- 
scribes as clipped short over the forehead, in the fashion of the Gila and Colorado Indians, and 
as hanging from the back of the head nearly down to the waist; but nothing is said of the 
long beards ascribed to them by Humboldt on the authority of the early missionaries. 
There are still other Yuma tribes (see Whipple's Extract from a Journal &c., pp. 16. 17; 
Schooler. Hist., &c., IT, 115. 116); but the above are all of whose languages we as yet possess 
specimens.
