 their foods. Its chief was named Tobalauc, which means very much

 grows in these environs and along the ocean shore, which plant

 with some of their foods, especially with chia. This salt seems to me 

 a very good purgative, since it is milder than sea salt and other 

 purgative salts. The chief of this rancheria was named Sidoc, which

 and at the said place in a gulch there is a lake of water and at one
