census reports (padrones) from Texas one will occasionally find satisfactory
answers to his questions, and the demographic information gathered permits
some conclusions pertaining to the population of Texas, which do not al-
ways agree with those already accepted. The roaming Indian tribes cannot
be included in the general estimate of the Texan population. Some informa-
tion about them exists, such as the estimates supplied in 1778 by Athanase
de M6zicres, lieutenant governor of the town of Natchitoches in Louisiana,
to the commander general of the Interior Provinces, the Chevalier de Croix,
or the data provided by a few tribal censuses, like those taken by NicolAs de
la Mathe and Esteban de Vaugine, in 1783, and by Governor Domingo
Cabello, in 1785. These figures, however, are merely approximate or rough
estimates, notwithstanding that they resulted from commendable efforts.8
