_Apaches._--who are stated to be akin to the Cumanche, and who are widely spread both westward and southward of the area of the Proper Cumanche, between the River Puercos and the Rio Del Norte. In Chihuahua, and Cohuahuila (especially in the Bolson de Mapimi), we find tribes under the names of Apaches Farones, and Apaches Mescaleros, extending--in their incursions at least--as far as the interior of Durango. Of the Apaches, the-- _Carisos._--are said to be a branch. Such are the members of the great Paduca family, to which it is safest, in the present imperfect state of our knowledge, to give an ethnological position, subject to correction from future investigations; which, necessary in most departments of the science, are preeminently necessary here. How far the prominence thus given to a section of the American population, which is generally disposed of in a short notice, is necessary, is to be found in its geographical relations to Mexico and California on the one hand, and to the Indians of Oregon and the Mississippi on the other. The Cumanches are the chief Indians of Texas; hence, from the north and west of that state they form an ethnological boundary. The names (all that the author can give) of the Texian tribes not already included in the several extensions of the Cumanche, Pawnee, Sioux, Cherokee, Choctah, Natchez, and other smaller families, are-- COSHATTAS. Knowing of no vocabulary of the Coshatta language, I am unable to say what it is or is not. The tribe is a member of the Creek confederacy. It is not indigenous to its present locality, having immigrated from the east of the Mississippi. In a notice of the earlier Creek confederation we find mention of _Cussetahs_, and in connection with the Alibamons, _Coosadas_ on the River _Coosa_. The former of these facts suggests a Creek, the latter a Uché, affinity. Still, it gives nothing more than a suggestion. TOWIACHS. _Divisions._--1. Towiach; 2. Tawakenoes; 3. Towecas(?); 4. Wacos. _Localities._--1. Of the Towiach,--two villages, Nitehata and Towahach, on the Red River; 2. Of the Tawakenoes,--200 miles of Nacogdoches, south of the Red River. Said by Dr. Sibley to speak the same language as the Towiachs; 3, 4. The Towecas and Wacos are in villages north of Red River. The Towiachs of Texas are sometimes called Pawnees,[131] probably improperly. Perhaps they form a branch of the Paducas rather than a separate substantive family; since there is the express statement of Kennedy, that the Texian _Towacanis_, or _Tahuacanos_, are Cumanche; and that the Wacos on the upper River Brazos, are the same. LIPANS (SIPANS). _Locality._--Between the River Aransas and River Grande. _Numbers._--In 1845 about 500. ALICHE. _Synonym._--Eyeish. _Locality._--Near Nacogdoches. Name only known. Enumerated in the Mithridates. ACCOCESAWS.
