The Cayapas are described as well-built, with oval faces and roman noses.[267] As the Barbacoas were the first known and probably the most numerous member of this family, I shall select their name to apply to them all, and classify the group as follows: BARBACOA LINGUISTIC STOCK. _Barbacoas_, on Upper Patia and Telembi. _Cayapas_, on coast near La Tola. _Colorados_, on Daule, Chone and Tachi Rivers. _Cuaiqueres_, on the coast about 1° N. Lat. _Iscuandes_, on Rio Patia. _Manivis_, head-waters of Rio Telembi. _Sacchas_, see _Colorados_. _Telembis_, on Rio Telembi. I have, in obedience to a sense of caution, treated of this stock as separate from the Cocanuca; but the fragmentary vocabularies at my command offer a number of resemblances between the two, and I expect that ampler material will show increased analogies, probably to the extent of proving them branches of the same family tree. In the roughest part of the Eastern Cordillera, about the head-waters of the two rivers Fragua, (between 1° and 2° north latitude), live the _Andaquis_. They are wild and warlike, and are the alleged guardians of the legendary _Indeguau_, “House of the Sun,” a cavern in which, according to local tradition, lies piled the untold gold of the ancient peoples.[268] At the time of the conquest their ancestors are said to have occupied the fertile lands between the Magdalena and Suaza rivers, especially the valley of San Augustin, where they constructed mysterious cyclopean edifices and subterranean temples, and carved colossal statues from the living rock. These have been described and portrayed by intelligent travelers, and give us a high opinion of the skill and intelligence of their builders.[269] The only specimen I have found of the Andaqui language is the vocabulary collected by the Presbyter Albis. Its words show slight similarities to the Paniquita and the Chibcha,[270] but apparently it is at bottom an independent stock. The nation was divided into many sub-tribes, living in and along the eastern Cordillera, and on the banks of the rivers Orteguasa, Bodoquera, Pescado, Fragua and San Pedro, all tributaries of the Caqueta.
