There are the remains of several more nations, 

 who are become nearly extinct, inhabiting in dif- 

 ferent parts of this country, who are mostly emi- 

 grants from the eastern side of the Mississippi.

 at the mouth of Rigula de Bandieu, who are re- 

 duced to about thirty men. They are an honest, 

 harmless, and friendly people. The Appalaches 

 from West Florida, live above bayau Rapide, '

 came from West Florida, consist of seventy men, 

 of whom thirty have settled near the Caddoques, 

 and forty in Appelousa district. Conchattas are 

 from West Florida, call their number one hun- 

 dred and sixty men, and are settled on the River 

 Sabine. Several families live in detached settle- 

 ments, which they say will make their number 

 two hundred men. Pacanas are also emigrants 

 from West Florida, are a small tribe of about 

 thirty men, and live on the Quelqueshoe river.

 eater, but no more applicable to this tribe, than 

 that of any other Indians. Their number, inclu- 

 ding some Tunicas and Humas Indians, who have 

 intermarried and live with them, is about eighty 

 men. They are peaceable and friendly to every 

 body, and are settled between Attakapa church 

 and the Quelqueshoe river. The Appelousa, 

 which means black head or black skull, have about 

 forty men, are natives of the district called by
