_Population._--There is an Alibamu town on Deep Creek, Indian Territory,

an affluent of the Canadian, Indian Territory. Most of the inhabitants

are of this tribe. There are Alibamu about 20 miles south of Alexandria,

Louisiana, and over one hundred in Polk County, Texas.

So far as known only three women of the Apalachi survived in 1886, and

they lived at the Alibamu town above referred to. The United States

Census bulletin for 1890 gives the total number of pureblood Choctaw at

9,996, these being principally at Union Agency, Indian Territory. Of the

Chicasa there are 3,464 at the same agency; Creek 9,291; Seminole 2,539;

of the latter there are still about 200 left in southern Florida.

There are four families of Koas['a]ti, about twenty-five individuals,

near the town of Shepherd, San Jacinto County, Texas. Of the Yamasi none

are known to survive.
