Chapter X: THE MARIPOSA LANGUAGES.--In the north of Mariposa county, and not

far south of the Tuolumne area, the language seems changed, and the _Coconoons_ is spoken by some bands on the Mercede River, under a chief named Nuella. They are said to be the remnants of three distinct bands each, with its own distinct language.
