Ro-mans places Yoani in his day (1771) on the PascagoulaRiver. He visited the place, and seems to be the author ofthe rather incredible statement that no other Choctaws canswim except those of Yowanne and Chickasawhay, — a pecul-iarity shown by the horses, too! 1 This summary, like that as to the Creeks, is largely abbreviated fromPickett and Gatschet. See, also, Gatschet, Creek Migration Legend, p. 212 ;Adairs American Indians, p. 318, etc. ; Romans Florida, pp. 66, 73. In-formation as to Morand, Le Roy, and Le Fevre, was furnished from Jesuitarchives by D. P. Lawton, of Spring Hill College, Alabama. 3 Adairs American Indians, p. 298, etc. ; Romans Florida, p. 86,.
