Duck. 
The Tewa have only this one name for species of wild duck; it is 
also applied to the domestic duck, which has been introduced to some 
extent among them. Descriptive terms may of course be added to 
designate definite species or individual ducks. 
The Taos call duck papiand, the Isleta papiive. The Jemez name 
meaning duck is wa fifi. 
Hodge gives Watushr-hdno as a Duck clan of San Felipe. 
A number of species of duck surely occur in this region during 
migration, but we have no definite record. 
Kagi. 
Branta canadensis canadensis (Linn.). Canada Goose. 
The Tewa have apparently only one name for species of wild goose 
and this they apply also to the domestic goose. 
Hodge gives Kunni-tainin as a Goose clan of Isleta. 
McCall? says: ‘‘I did not meet the Canada goose until I reached 
the Rio Grande, which was at a point 60 miles below El Paso; thence I 
found them tolerably numerous until I left the river near Santa Fe.”’ 
He also reports as occasional the snow goose (Chen hyperboreus hyper- 
boreus [Pallas]), white-fronted goose (Anser albifrons gambeli Hart- 
laub), and the brant (Bernicla brenta Steph.=Branta bernicla glau- 
cogastra [Brehm]) along the Rio Grande, but does not indicate how 
far north he saw them. Other species doubtless occur, including the 
whistling and trumpeter swans, but we have no records. 
?Grus canadensis (Linn.). Little Brown Crane. 
McCall ? found this crane on the Rio Grande from Santa Fe to El 
Paso in October, more abundant below Albuquerque. 
To'teti, apparently ‘sagebrush softness’ (fo, Rocky Mountain 
sagebrush; tx°62, softness, soft). The Santa Clara say 
merely to-tz’. 
Callipepla squamata squamata (Vigors). Scaled Quail. 
Judge Abbott and Mr. Dowell say that large flocks sometimes visit 
the Rito de los Frijoles.
