Note 24 — BOTANICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF PEYOTE

See Handbook of the American Indians, 2:845, 846 (the Yuma, Mohave, Ute, Apache, etc., use it). The Mescalero Apache do not derive their name from the use of the peyote, “mescal,” as Mooney stated, being so designated long before they knew or used peyote. In the second etymology see Siméon, Dictionnaire, 436; also Safford, An Aztec Narcotic, 293. See also La Barre, Native American Beers, 225.
