  and 
  s.) 
  covered 
  them 
  that 
  the 
  arrangement 
  of 
  rooms 
  could 
  

   scarcely 
  be 
  traced 
  at 
  all. 
  

  

  The 
  modern 
  village 
  of 
  Ojo 
  Caliente 
  was 
  also 
  surveyed 
  and 
  

   diagrams 
  and 
  photographs 
  made. 
  

  

  Towards 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  September 
  camp 
  was 
  moved 
  to 
  the 
  

   vicinity 
  of 
  Zufii. 
  Here 
  four 
  other 
  villages 
  of 
  the 
  Cibola 
  group 
  

   and 
  the 
  old 
  villages 
  on 
  the 
  mesa 
  of 
  Ta-ai-ya-lo-ne 
  were 
  ex- 
  

   amined. 
  Camp 
  was 
  then 
  moved 
  to 
  Nutria, 
  a 
  farming 
  pueblo 
  

   of 
  Zuni. 
  From 
  this 
  camp 
  Nutria 
  was 
  surveyed 
  and 
  photo- 
  

   graphed, 
  and 
  also 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  Pescado, 
  which 
  is 
  occupied 
  

   only 
  during 
  the 
  farming 
  season. 
  Both 
  of 
  these 
  modern 
  farm- 
  

   ing 
  pueblos 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  built 
  on 
  the 
  ruins 
  of 
  more 
  ancient 
  

   villages, 
  the 
  remains 
  of 
  which 
  were 
  especially 
  noticeable 
  in 
  

   the 
  case 
  of 
  Pescado, 
  where 
  the 
  very 
  carefully 
  executed 
  

   masonry, 
  characteristic 
  of 
  the 
  ancient 
  methods 
  of 
  construction, 
  

   could 
  be 
  seen 
  outcropping 
  at 
  many 
  points.

  Following 
  the 
  return 
  of 
  the 
  main 
  party 
  to 
  Washington, 
  

   some 
  preliminary 
  exploration 
  was 
  carried 
  on 
  by 
  Mr. 
  E. 
  W. 
  

   Nelson, 
  who 
  made 
  an 
  examination 
  of 
  the 
  headwaters 
  of 
  the 
  

   South 
  Fork 
  of 
  Salt 
  River, 
  but 
  did 
  not 
  find 
  any 
  ruins. 
  Thence 
  

   the 
  Blue 
  Ridge 
  was 
  crossed, 
  and 
  the 
  valley 
  of 
  the 
  Blue 
  Fork 
  

   of 
  the 
  San 
  Francisco 
  River 
  visited. 
  Here 
  ruins 
  were 
  fre- 
  

   quently 
  increasing 
  in 
  number 
  toward 
  the 
  south. 
  Farther 
  

   south

  sets 
  of

  he 
  vis- 
  

   ited

  that 
  the 
  peo- 
  

   ple

  immediately 
  outside 
  the 
  walls 
  of 
  their 
  hab- 
  

   itations, 
  marking 
  the 
  places 
  of

  with 
  circles 
  of 
  stones.
