both the Cuchan and Diegeho 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¬

the latter, as is evinced by the words lianna, good; n’yatz, I; pooh, beads. Their hair he de¬

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.
