With these end our _data_[42], but not our lists of dialects; the

names Maya, Guazave, Heria, Sicuraba, Xixime, Topia, Tepeguana, and

Acaxee all being, either in Hervas, or elsewhere, as applied to the

different forms of speech of Sonora and Sinaloa; to which may be added

the Tahu, the Tacasca, and the Acasca, which is probably the same word

as Acaxee, as Huimi is the same as Yuma, and Zaque as Hiaqui. Of the

Guazave a particular dialect is named as the Ahome. Add also the Zoe

and Huitcole, probably the same as the Huite.

[Footnote 42: For a notice of _Matlacinga_ see Ludwig: who mentions an

_Arte_ and Dictionary. I have seen no specimens of it. (1859).]

That some of these unrepresented forms of speech belong to the same

class with the Pima, Hiaqui, &c., is nearly certain. How many, however,

do so is another question; it may be that _all_ are in the same

predicament; it may be only a few.
