lateral wall, but the remainder had tumbled to the ground. The stand- 
ing wall of z is not continuous with that of the next room, y, and 
apparently was simply the rear of a large room with the remains of a 
lateral wall at right angles to it. The other walls of this chamber had 
tumbled into a deep gorge, overgrown with bushes which conceal 
the fragments. This building is set back deeply in the cave, and is 
isolated from the remaining parts of the ruin, although at the level 
which may have been its roof there runs a kind of gallery fermed by a 
ledge of rock, plastered with adobe, which formerly connected the roof 
with the rest of the pueblo. This ledge was a means of intercommuni- 
cation, and a continuation of the same ledge, in rooms s, t, and u, 
supported the rafters of these chambers. At w there are evidences of 
two stories or two tiers of rooms, but those in front have fallen to the 
ground. 
The standing wall at w is about five feet high, connected with the 
face of the cliff by masonry. The space between it and the cliff was 
not large enough for a habitable chamber, and was used probably as 
a storage place. In front of the standing wall of room w there was 
another chamber, the walls of which now strew the talus of the cliff. 
The highest and best preserved room of the second series of cham- 
bers at Honanki is that designated p, at a point where the ruin reached 
an elevation of 20 feet. Here we have good evidence of rooms of two 
stories, as indicated by the points of insertion of the beams of a floor, 
at the usual levels above the ground. In fact, it is probable that the 
whole section of the ruin was two stories high throughout, the front 
walls having fallen along the entire length. Irom the last room on 
the left to the eastern extremity of the line of houses which leads 
to the main ruin of Honanki, no ground plans were detected at the 
base of the cliffs, but fallen rocks and scattered débris are strewn 
over the whole interval. 
The eastern part of the main ruin of Honanki, however, lies but a 
short distance west of that described, and consists of many similar 
chambers, arranged side by side. These are lettered in the diagram h 
to u, beginning with h, which is irregularly circular in form, and ends 
with a high wall, the first to be seen as one approaches the ruin from 
Lloyd canyon. This range of houses is situated on a lower foundation 
and at a lower level than that of the main quarter of Honanki, and a 
trail runs along so close to the rooms that the whole series is easily 
visited without much climbing. No woodwork remains in any of 
these rooms, and the masonry is badly broken in places either by 
natural agencies or through vandalism. 
Beginning with h, the round room, which adjoins the main quarter 
of Honanki, we find much in its shape to remind us of a kiva. The 
walls are in part built on foundations of large bowlders, one of which 
formed the greater part of the front wall. This circular room was 
found to be full of fallen débris, and «‘uld not be examined without
