a. The Santa Barbara, of Dr. Coulter.—Journal of Geographical Society.
b. c. The San Juan Capistrano, the same as the Netela of the United States' Exploring Expedition.
d. The San Gabriel of Dr. Coulter, the same as the Kij of the United States' Exploring Expedition.
e. The San Diego of Dr. Coulter.
The SS. Gabriel and Juan Capistrano, are more closely allied than any other two of Dr. Coulter's. Besides which there seems to be between them, a regular letter-change of the l and r. In San Juan Capistrano, whilst but one word ends in r, maharr=five, several end in l; as shul=star, ul=arrow, nol=chief, amaigomal=boy, shungal=woman; whereas, the San Gabriel has no terminations in l, but many in r, as touarr=arrow, tomearr=chief, tokor=woman, &c.

South of San Diego, the land narrows itself into the peninsula of Old California. Here we have—
1. The Cochimi.—If the area of the Cochimi dialects (of which there are four, said to differ from each other as much as the Spanish and the French) extend as far north as N.L. 33°, the San Diego vocabulary most probably represents one of them.
2. The Waikuru.—called also the Monk[145] or Moqui(?), and of which the following dialects are enumerated—
a. The Cora(?)[145]. Extinct, or nearly so.
