Quite a body of their mythologic legends have been preserved, replete with interest to the student of the religious sentiment of this race. They indicate an active imagination and may be regarded as quite authentic. The Chibchas proper, as well as the Aroacos, were meso- or brachycephalic, the cephalic index ranging above 80. They were of moderate stature, dark in color, the face broad, the eyes dark and often slightly oblique, the cheek-bones prominent and the general appearance not handsome.

The Paniquitas and Paezes._ A number of tribes living to the north and west of the Chibchas seem to have belonged to one stock. They are mentioned by the older historians as acting in alliance, as in constant war with the Chibchas, and several of them as speaking dialects of a tongue wholly different from the Chibchas. Their stage of culture was lower, but they were acquainted with the bow, the sling and the war-club, and had fixed habitations. I give the list of these presumably related tribes, and apply to the stock the name of one of the modern tribes which retain the language.[251] PANIQUITA LINGUISTIC STOCK. _Canapeis_, sub-tribe of Colimas (Herrera). _Colimas_, on the right bank of Magdalena, adjacent to the Musos. _Manipos_, adjacent to the Pijoas. _Musos_, on right bank of the Magdalena, adjacent and north of the Muyscas. _Nauras_, on the Rio Carari. _Paezes_, on the central Cordillera. _Panches_, on the east bank of Magdalena, near Tocayma. _Paniquitas_, between upper waters of the Magdalena and Cauca. _Pantagoros_, on both shores of the Magdalena and in province of Quimbaya. _Pijaos_, in Popayan, on the Cauca and Neyva.
