It may be worth mentioning that the miner who excavated in the burial-cave near Nararachic mentioned above, told me of having met with somewhat similar structures in his cave; the material was the same, but they were of different sizes, not larger than two feet, and he found them empty.
The ancient modes of burial that I have come upon, in the Tarahumare country are either like those in Nararachic or in Aboreachic.

There scarcely seems any doubt that the bodies buried here were Tarahumares.

The Indians of to-day consider the dead in the ancient burial-caves their brethren, and call them Ana-yauli, the ancients.
From Guajochic I went to Nonoava (in Tarahumare: Nonoa, nono = father), although this town is outside of the Tarahumare country proper.

The natives here, as may be expected, are pretty well Mexicanised, and losing their customs, religion, and language.

The Apache raids were well remembered here, as they were in Carichic, Cusarare, and Bocoyna.
I came upon a Mexican here who had married a Tarahumare woman.
