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.
