the woods in which they live. Further on, along the seashore, are
others, who call themselves Deguenes, and in front of them others
named those of Mlendica. Further on, on the coast, are the
Quevenes, in front further inland the Mariames, and following' the
coast we came to the Gua.ycooes, and in front of them, inland the
Yequaces. After those come the I layos, and behind them others
called Decubadaosvi, of whom there are a great many further on
in this direction. On the coast live the Quiloles, and in front of
them, inland, the Chacmuaoares. These are joined by the Mialiacones
and Cu'1 achulcuhes and others called Susolas and CO('os, ahead
on the coast are (Camolas, and further on those whom we call the
people of the figs (de los Hligos).
All these people have homes and villages and speak different
languages. Ameng then is a language wherein they call MEN
Miraaca, arraca, and dogs Xo.
The tribes at Mal-Hlado an(d their woodland neighbors, and the
Deguenes, Guevenes, Guaycones, Mendicas, Mariaa es and Yeguaces
(Iguaces), have been discusal. The Anaga.dos, Camones, Ava-
vares and Arbarlaos are not included under those names in this
list. Three of these tribes played such an important part in the
adventures of the Spaniards that they would hardly have been
omitted from such a summary; therefore, by reason of similarity
of names and tribal relations, we at once conclude that Chaua-
uares is a variation of Avavares, Deenulda.os of Arbados, and
Camolas of Camones. Alagados may likewise be another name
for the Atayos, lnut the evidence is less conclusive. The Anagadcos
were seen only in the tuna region; they were at war with the
Mariamnes; received the Spaniards kindly when they escaped to
them ; and told them of the murder of the people of the barge
of Tellez and Pefialosa by the Camones, who lived "nearer the
coast" than the Anagados. They made peace with the Mariames
and the Spaniards left them the next day. They are not men-
tioned again, nor further identi fied.
After the ten days of journeying with the Avavares the Span-
iards met the Cultalchulehes, M aliceones, Coayos and Susolas feed-
ing on tunas, and( on another side were the Atayos, at war with the
Susolas.'4 The Atayos are not mentioned elsewhere, except in
the list of tribes.
The other tribes mentioned were, like the Avavaares, of much
more gentle disposition than the tribes with whom the Spaniards
