Casa Morena (Span.: 'brown house'). 

 An ancient pueblo ruin of considerable 

 importance, situated near the top of the 

 continental divide in n. w. New Mexico. 

 It is usually assigned to the Chaco canyon 

 group, but this is assumed without evi- 

 dence except as to outward appearance. 

 No excavations have been made and the 

 ruin has not been described. It is built 

 of sandstone after the manner of the 

 Chaco canyon pueblos. It is in the midst 

 of the desert, far from water, and not 

 near any of the main trails, (e. l. n.) 

 Kinahzin. — Hewett, inf'n, 1905 (Navaho name). 



Casa Binconada (Span. : ' corner house ' ) . 

 A small pueblo ruin 500 yds. s. e. of Pueblo 

 Bonito, s. of the arroyo, at the foot of the 

 wall of Chaco canyon, n. w. N. Mex. The 

 building did not contain more than 50 

 roouis. Its most interesting feature is an 

 enormous double-walled kiva, the largest 

 in the Chaco canyon group, measuring 72 

 ft. in diameter, the rooms of the pueblo be- 

 ing built partially around it. The 2 walls 



were about 30 in. thick, and portions still 

 stand from 10 to 12 ft. above the sur- 

 rounding debris. Probably three-fourths 

 of the kiva wall are still standing, being of 

 tine, well-selected sandstone, smoothly 

 laid. Thirty-two niches, 16 by 22 in., 14 

 in. deep, smoothly finished and plastered, 

 extend around the interior of the kiva wall 

 at regular intervals. The outer wall of the 

 kiva is 8 ft. from the inner, the space be- 

 tween being divided into rooms. The in- 

 dications are that the building was devoted 

 to ceremonial rather than to domiciliary 

 use. (e. l. h. ) 



Casas Chiquitas (Span.: 'small houses' ). 

 A tribe supposed to have been once affili- 

 ated with the Carrizo, a Coahuiltecan 

 tribe, but which in 1887 was said to be 

 extinct. (a. s. g.)

 cepcion, founded in 1780 by Fray Fran-

Cashaw. A name of the crook-neck 

 squash, a species of pumpkin. Bartlett 

 (Diet. Americanisms, 104, 1877) has 

 "cas/iaw, sometimes spelt kershaw (Al- 

 gonkin), a pumpkin." The word occurs 

 in Hariot (1590) as ecushaw; in Beverley 

 (1705) as cashaw, cushaw, etc. The latter 

 uses it as synonymous with macock. The 

 untruncated form, ecushaw, represents 

 escushaw, from a Virginian dialect of 

 Algonquian corresponding to the Cree 

 askisiwand the Delaware askasqueu, which 

 signify ' it is raw or green.' According to 

 Dr William Jones kasha is an old Chip- 

 pewa term for 'hard shell.' (a. f. c. )

 longing to the Munsee, situated in 1738
