Remarks. 
Fimas (by some corrupted into Pimos ).—Humboldt says the northernmost part of the inten¬ 
dancy of Sonora bears the name of Pimeria, from a numerous tribe of Indians called Pimas, who 
inhabit it. 
The first of our people who visited and described the Pimas of the Gila, the only ones with 
whom we are as yet acquainted, were Colonel Emory and Captain A. R. Johnston, who accom¬ 
panied the invading army of General Kearny in 1846. The fullest and most satisfactory account 
of them is that given by Hon. John R. Bartlett, in the second volume of his “ Personal Narra¬ 
tive.” They and the Coco-Maricopas live in a very friendly manner in two neighboring villages 
on the south side of the Gila, about midway of its course. Mr. Bartlett estimates the popula¬ 
tion of the two villages of these peaceful and industrious communities at about 2,000 souls, of 
whom two-thirds are Pimas. 
Of the Pima language a few words and some account of its grammatical structure are given 
in the Mithridates from Father Pfefferkorn’s work on Sonora. A brief vocabulary by Dr. Coul¬ 
ter is published in the eleventh volume of the Royal Geographical Society’s Journal; and a 
much fuller one, drawn up by Dr. C. C. Parry, in the third volume of Schoolcraft’s History, 
&c., of the Indian Tribes. The short vocabulary obtained by Lieutenant Whipple agrees 
well with those of his predecessors, as far as they coincide in the choice of words.
