The above vocabularies illustrate the extension of the Yuma stock to

the southward. The Cochimi and Guaicuru are remote dialects, but of

positive affinities. The Yuma words which I have added for comparison are

principally from the Mohave dialect, and are taken from the vocabularies

published by the “U. S. Geographical Surveys west of the 100th Meridian.”

The Seri words are chiefly from the satisfactory vocabulary obtained by

the late John Russell Bartlett. The relationship of the dialect to the

Yuma stock is evident.
