6 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [bull. 44 Further examination of this point will be found in the notes relating to the Seri. Reference to the supposed tribes or subtribes Albino (or Aivino), Movas (or Mobas), Comuripa (or Comoripa), Onavas (or Onabas), Tecoripa, and Nuri is again made in order to give briefly the reasons for omitting them from the map. As stated above, they are considered by Orozco y Berra as merely pueblos in which the Pima language was spoken without such dialectic differences as to justify considering them distinct. As a rule, all dialects referred to by early authors writing of this section are spoken of as "distinct" or "par- ticular" languages, though the writers recognized their affinities. In regard to the Onava and Tecoripa, it seems to be fairly inferred from the statements byCancio (155-156) that they spoke the Piman language. This agrees with the statement by Zapata (358-361) that the language spoken at Tecoripa, Cumuripa, and Onava was Pima, and that at Mova the language was partly Pima and partly Egue (Eudeve), and hence not distinct. Velarde (399) calls the- Indians of Tecoripa, and also the Albino, Pima. Ribas (370) includes the pueblos Comoripa, Tecoripa, and Albino among those of the Lower Pima. The last-named author (299, 358) speaks of the Nuri as Nebome (Pima) and on the latter page connects them with the Upper Pima, but on page 369 says they are a nation of a language different from that of the Upper Pima, though not very distant from them. However, according to Orozco y Berra (1:351) they inhabited the pueblo of Nuri, which was certainly Lower Pima. It seems from Ribas (lib. vi, cap. vi) that the Nuri he refers to as belonging to or adjoining the Upper Pima were a different people from those occupying the Nuri pueblo. Although Hamy places these names (except Tecoripa) on his map heretofore referred to, and notwithstanding the fact that they are spoken of as "naciones," there is not sufficient evidence to warrant the conclusion that they spoke distinct dialects. Ribas (373-374), speaking of the Aivino and other pueblos of that immediate section (en todaesta tierra adetro), says two languages were current through- out, and that Padre Olinano, who preached to them, understood well the two languages of these nations. However, he fails to state what languages these were. By turnmg to Zapata's Relacion, heretofore referred to, some light on this point may be obtained. Speaking of the Mobas (361), he says their language, as mentioned above, was partly Pima and partly Egue (Eudeve), which so far agrees with Ribas's statement and indicates the two languages to which the latter refers.

There were two subtribes which spoke dialects of the mother language—the Eudeve (Heve or Dohema) and the Jova (Jobal or Ova). (Doc. Hist.Mex., 3d s., iv, 552-553.) Orozco y Berra says (1:343-344) that according to D. Francisco Velasco the Opata "nacion" was subdivided into the Opatas Teguis, Opatas Teguimas, and Opatas Coguinachis. His quotation is not strictly exact, as Velasco, in the article referred to (2:705), gives as divisions Jovas, Segiiis (Teguis), Teguimas, and Coguinachis. But as the last three names do not appear to have had any linguistic signification, and are not otherwise referred to as those of subtribes, they may be dismissed from consideration. The Eudeve (Heve, Dohme, or Dohema), forming the chief subtribe, inhabited the headwaters of the Eio Hermosillo. Their location is given in Orozco y Berra's work by pueblos in the region mentioned. The dialect of this subtribe shows considerable difference from that of the Opata proper (Pimentel, ii, 153), but not sufficient to consider it otherwise than as a dialect. An anonymous author (Doc. Hist. Mex., 3d s., IV, 494, 534) even says the difference is not greater than that between Portuguese and Castilian, or between French and Provencal. Alegre (ii, 216) seems also to have considered the dialects as not widely different. The Jova (Jobal or Ova) formed another subtribe speaking a language dialectically different from Opata and Eudeve, though more closely related to the former than was Eudeve. xilthough the location of this subtribe seems to be pretty clearly indicated by the his- torical evidence as being in the eastern part of the Opata territory, as laid down in Orozco y Berra's map, Hamy, in his map heretofore referred to, locates them in the central portion of the Tarahumare territory as drawn by him and Orozco y Berra. This appears to be based on the statement of the latter author that one of the Jova pueblos was Santo Tomas, which he locates about the place where Hamy places the Jovas on his map. However, Orozco y Berra also names as Jova pueblos San Jose Teopari, Los Dolores, wSahuaripa, Ponida, Arivetzi, and San Mateo Malzura, all of which are in the southeast- ern part of the Opata territory as given in his map, which, as before indicated, Hamy has followed in marking the tribal boundaries. If the Jova territory extended to and included Santo Tomas, then the Opata territory, if this pueblo is correctly laid down, should be extended moro to the southeast than it is on Oroz(io y Berra's map.
