Are fogs a noticeable feature along the coast of California? If so, they might hide the entrance or mouth of the Gulf. One visitor says: "Westward toward the setting sun and the sea," was a "filmy fog creeping landward, swallowing one by one the distant hills." Again, we read of "hilltops that thrust their heads through the slowly vanishing vapor." Here "you may bask in the sunshine of gardens of almost tropic luxuriance or shudder in =fogs that shroud the coast=" (n. 54.) We need not wonder that such vapors should appear within the confines of the charming Gulf of California and at times veil its shores. A recent visitor says: "The island and mountain peaks, whose outlines are seen from the Gulf, had been somewhat =dimmed= by a light =haze=, appeared surprisingly near and distinct in the limpid medium through which they were now viewed. The whole panorama became invested with new attractions, and it would be hard to say whether the dazzling radiance of the day or the sparkling clearness of the night was the more =beautiful= and brilliant" (n. 55). Hazy and Beautiful, say the Ancients. Hazy and Beautiful, say the Moderns. The haze is not dense enough to blind our eyes to the manifest fact that those people of old who were acquainted with the position of our Gulf of California, must also have been acquainted with Mexico and its inhabitants. Tropical America was considered by its people to be particularly under the influence of the Sun. Uxmal was in "the Land of the Sun" (n. 56), and the Mexicans called themselves "Children of the Sun." CAVE DWELLINGS IN THE GRAND CANYON. It will be noticed that the 13th term in our list is =hueh=, which stands for cave habitation. Are such to be seen in our Canyon? Numerous =tung= (see 12th term,) in the shape of caves or holes are undoubtedly there, but in addition the old account notices =hueh=. Have such been found? One explorer says: "Even more remarkable than the stupendous walls which confine the Colorado river, are the ruined cave habitations which are to be seen along the lofty and inaccessible ledges, in which a vanished race long years ago evidently sought refuge from their enemies.... They were reached by very narrow, precipitous, and devious paths, and being extremely difficult to attain by the occupants themselves, presented an impregnable front to invaders" (n. 57.) Explorers decending into the =ta-hoh= come forth to-day with accounts of gardens and irrigating streams, pictured cliffs, and cave dwellings,--in complete agreement with the ancient record. Following the term =hueh= we find a 14th, called =han=, which stands for dry, heated air; too dry; parched as by drought; crisp. Is there =han=, or dry heated air down in the Canyon?
