In another fragmentaryletter of 1682, written from the same place, he proposes to make anoverland journey by means of horses, which may easily be had, asthere are many with the savages called Pana, Pancassa, Mainiiout,Gataea, Pauiiuaha, and Pasos, who lie somewhat remote, it is true, butyet communication with tliem is very easy by means of the river of theMissourites, which ilows into the river Colbert (Margry, 1). In mod-ern terms Pana, Pancassa (or Pancassa), Gataea (for Gataea), Paui-maha, Missourites, and Colbert are respectively Pawnee, Ponca (?), Kiowa Apache, Pawnee-Maha or , Missouri, and Mississippi. Paso is problematic, and Manrhoet or Manrhout, which in both lettersis mentioned iu connection with the Kiowa Apache, may possibly besome obsolete name for the Kiowa themselves.
