A Shoshonean band which prior to 1864' roved and hunted with the Walpapi about the shores of Goose, Silver, Warner, and Harney lakes, Oreg., and temporarily in Surprise val- ley and Klamath marsh, where they gathered wokas for food. They came sj)ecially into notice in 1864, on Oct. 14 of which year they became party to the treaty of Klamath lake by which their territory was ceded to the United States and they were placed on Klamath res., established at that time.

Gat- schet, who visited them about 1884, says they were then engaged in agriculture, lived in willow lodges and log houses, and were gradually aband( miiig their roaming proclivities. The Yahuskin have always been officially enumerated with the Wal- papi, the aggregate population varying between 1877 and 1891 from 135 to 166 persons. In 1909 they were reported at 103.
