The non-Yuman vocabularies bear the name of the supposed dialects of Cochimi spoken at the northernmost of the Central Desert Missions: Borjino (San Francisco de Borja Adac), Rosareno (Nuestra Senora del Rosario Vinadaco) (Fig. l)(see Massey 1949). In this same category is a dialect labelled "Judillo" (sic) which, according to Harrington's notes, was spoken some miles south of Mount Matomi, placing it in the territory of the ex-mission of San Fernando Velicata (see Fig. 1). These Cochimi lists, perhaps the last data available to us in this language, lend themselves admirably to the comparative method, throwing new light on the hypothesis of a genetic relationship between Cochimi and Yuman.
