On the Rio Javary there seem to be several independent stocks. One of

these is that of the _Yameos_, who are found in the lower course of the

river and also further up the Marañon, near Nauta, and on the Huallaga,

where they are called Llameos, Yameos, Lamas, or Lamistas. Formerly

they were a numerous and warlike nation, sharply divided into gentile

organizations, and carefully refraining from intermarriage in the gens.

At an early date we hear of them between the Rio Tigre and the Napo.
