A number of names of introduced animals which have been bor- 
rowed from the Spanish are supplanted by additional names for these 
animals, of Tewa derivation, when speaking in the presence of Mex1- 
cans, lest they understand. The same is also the practice in the 
case of ‘watermelon’ and some other plant names.

Towa. 
Homo sapiens. 
Towa means human being, person, folks, people, clan. Unlike the 
Tewa names of other animals fowd is never coupled with sex-age 
nouns, being regularly omitted when these are applied to human 
beings. Thus tsekwi’, female dog in prime’ (tse, dog; kwv*, female 
in prime), but merely kwi, “human woman in prime.’ Human beings 
are not considered by the Tewa to be essentially different from other 
animals. 
The races of man are ealled fowd. 
The word towd often .refers especially to Indian people as distin- 
guished from other people. Americans are called Meskanw towa, 
‘American people’ (Mesikand, American, <Span. Americano; towd, 
person, people). Mexicans are called Kwiekw yiowa (Kwekuy, of 
uncertain po fowa, person, people). Negroes are called 
Kwekuylowa p’eyniy, “binek Mexicans’ (itunes ytowa, Mexican, 
pey, black). The Chinese are called Tsindéowd, Chinaman people 
(Tsind, Chinaman <Span. Chino; towa, person, people). 
Monw (<Span. mono). 
Monkey. 
The Tewa know that monkeys live in Mexico. They say that 
monkeys look like men: fowawa'gi, ‘like a human being’ (fowd, 
human being; wa‘gi, like). An organ-grinder with a monkey visited 
San Ildefonso last year. 
Supt. 
Corynorhinus macrotis pallescens Miller. Pale Big-eared Bat. 
Corynorhinus macrotis Le Conte was reported at Santa Fe by Allen* 
in 1893. As macrotis is a Southeastern form, the Santa Fe specimen 
is much more likely referable to the subspecies pallescens, described 
in 1897 by Miller,? which ranges from Colorado and Utah southward 
into Mexico. 
Sip‘t. 
Myotis lucifugus longicrus (True). Little Brown Bat.
