The founding of many Yaqui and Mayo towns still in existence seems to coincide with the establishment of missions in the early seventeenth century, although data are inadequate. Par- ticularly on the Yaqui River, there is reason to believe some towns have changed location by several miles.

No longer existing are Ures, Cubiri, Lopoche, Deboropa, and Matapan. (See map 1.).
