OLD CALIFORNIA.

San Diego, as has just been stated, lies in 32-1/2° north latitude. Now

_Old_ Californian tongues, the _Cochimi_, is spoken as far north as

33°. If so, the Dieguno may be _Old_ Californian as well as _New_;

which I think it is; believing, at the same time, that _Cochimi_ and

_Cuchan_ are the same words. Again, in the following Paternoster the

word for _sky_ = _ammai_ in the Cuchan vocabulary.
