from chickens. Dv or pi'ydy applies to the domestic as well as to the 
wild turkey. The Isleta terms meaning ‘turkey’ exactly parallel the 
Tewa, diwuse being the equivalent of Tewa di", and piendiaue that of 
Tewa pi'ydi:. The Cochiti call turkey tséna. 
Hodge gives as Turkey clans of various pueblos: Pecos, P’etdelii’+; 
Laguna, Tsi’na-hdno’; Acoma, Tsina-hdnog; Sia, Tsi-hdno; San 
Felipe, Tsina-hdéno; Santa Ana, Tsinha-hdno; Cochiti, Tsi’n-hano; 
Zuni, Téna-kwe. 
The Mexicans in New Mexico usually call the turkey gallo de la 
tierra, gallina de la tierra. Spanish guajalote is not applied to the 
turkey in New Mexico. 
Turkeys breed in considerable numbers in the mountains. We 
saw 30 in one flock at the edge of Valle Grande, just beyond the 
headwaters of El Rito de los Frijoles. They come down into the 
canyons in the autumn in large numbers and congregate about 
the springs, where, it is said, they are slaughtered by the Mexicans, 
There is no doubt that they were formerly much more abundant 
than now and probably constituted an important article of food of 
the ancient inhabitants. The Indians long ago domesticated this 
bird, or, at any rate, kept many of them in inclosures. It is sup- 
posed that the birds in capitivity were kept for ceremonial purposes, 
the feathers being used in various rites. This raises some doubt as 
to whether the captive birds were used also for food. One of the 
old men from Santa Clara pueblo said that the turkey is always 
silent, “never makes any noise.’ This shows a surprising lack of 
knowledge of the species. According to McCall,’ 60 years ago it 
“was found on almost every stream’ margined with timber, through- 
out the whole of the country traversed.”

Domestic fowl, Chicken. 
The name was originally applied to the wild turkey; see above. 
The cock or rooster is called either di‘se'y, ‘male chicken’ (di, 
chicken; se'y, male) or gaju (<Span. gallo). 
The Tewa keep many chickens, and use the eggs (di-wa’), flesh, and 
feathers.

Zenaidura macroura marginella (Woodhouse). Western Mourn- 
ing Dove. 
The Taos name is pidngaipaand; Isleta, kaipaiue; Jemez, ginamy. 
This dove was found to be abundant both in the canyons and on 
the mesas. It is the only dovelike bird of the region, unless the 
band-tailed pigeon occurs in limited numbers locally. The latter 
may be recognized by the white nape band at the back of the skull
