The Natural History of the Varieties of Man

by R. G. Latham

Locality.—West of the Red River, 200 miles from Nacogdoches. Name only known. Enumerated in the Mithridates.

NAVAOSOS(?).

Of the Navaosos, I only know that they are said to be a branch of the Lipans. If so, and if also they are Navahos, we are enabled to fix the Lipans as Paduca. They are extinct in Texas.

MAYES.

Locality.—St. Bernard's Bay. Name only known. Enumerated in the Mithridates.

CANCES.

Locality.—Ditto, ditto.

TONCAHUAS.

The Toncahuas, or Tonkeways, are mentioned by Kennedy as being, like the Lipans, the hereditary enemies of the Cumanches, and as retreating before them from the hunting grounds of the upper country.

On the other hand, I find that Mr. Bollaert makes them an offset of the Cumanches. In 1845 they numbered about 300 souls.
