THE XUMA. STOCK. 411 



The Pa-Uta of Arizona are settled on Shivwits Plateau, in the Uinka- 

 rets Mountains, and numbered 284 souls in 1873. 



The Pa-Uta of Utah Territory consisted, in 1873, of 528 Indians, divided 

 into eight tribes, among which that of the Kafvawits is the most populous. 



The Pa-Uta (Pyedes, Piutes) of Oregon were partly settled on the 

 Malheur River Agency; the Report of 1876 gives 4C2 Indians. 



D. Pa-Uta of California. — The Californian Pa-Uta hold the longi- 

 tudinal valleys of the Sierra Nevada in Mono and Inyo Counties. Their 

 language differs considerably from the Pa-Uta of Nevada, and, in fact, 

 from those of all other Numa tribes, and if a suitable national name were 

 found to exist, they should be distinguished by it from the other Pa-Uta. 

 The languages of the Panamint and Ke"-at Indians have not yet been in- 

 vestigated, and hence they are excluded from the subsequent enumeration : 



Pa-Uta of Bernardino County. 



Pa-Uta of Owens River Valley, comprising also the majority of the 

 Mono County and the Kozabi Pa-Uta. 



Pa-Uta of the part of Mono County, west of Owens River, between 

 36° 40' and 37° 40'. They call themselves Nut'has. 



Pallegawonap, east and southeast of Tulare Lake, on southern spurs 

 of the Sierra Nevada, which they have conquered from the Y6kuts Indians 

 in the valley. 



Tillie and P'hallatillie, in southwestern portions of Kern County. 



E. Uta. — Tribes of the Uta reside in Eastern Utah, Western Colorado, 

 and in Northern New Mexico. The valleys drained, by Green and Grand 

 Rivers, affluents of the Colorado, most probably formed the ancient habitat 

 of the race Exclusive of the nomadic Uta, the Report of the Indian Com- 

 missioner for 1877 gives 2,900 Uta Indians for Colorado, 1,207 for New 

 Mexico, and 773 for Utah; 134 Pa-Vants were not under an agent. The 

 singular form of the name is Utawat; the plural form, Ut-awatsu. The Uta 

 dialects do not differ very considerably among themselves, and Mr. Edwin 

 A. Bai'ber, who has given comparative tables, states that the Weminuche, 

 Capote-Uta, and the Muache speak one and the same dialect. 



Some of the principal tribes are : 



Pa-Vant, in Corn Creek, near Fillmore, Utah.
