Chettrokettle ('Rain pueblo' in one of 

 the New Mexican Indian languages). 

 One of the most important ruins of the 

 Chaco canyon group in N. w. New Mexico. 

 It is less than \ m. e. of Pueblo Bonito, on 

 the N. side of the arroyo near the base of 

 the canyon wall. Its exterior dimensions 

 are 440 by 250 ft. It incloses 3 sides of a 

 parallelogram, the extremities of the 

 wings being connected by a semicircular 

 double wall, the space between being 

 divided into apartments. There are 9 

 kivas within the space inclosed by the 

 wings of the structure, 2 being in the 



court and 7 wholly or in part embraced 

 within the walls. The walls still stand 

 in places to a height of 30 ft. The build- 

 ing was not less than 4 stories high, prob- 

 ably 5. Many timbers are yet in place 

 and well preserved. The masonry, 

 which is exceptionally good, is of fine- 

 grained grayish-yellow sandstone, broken 

 into small tabular pieces and laid in thin 

 mortar; in places courses of heavier stone 

 are laid in parallel at intervals, giving an 

 ornamental effect and probabl}^ adding 

 to the stability of the walls. The walls 

 are finished alike on both sides. Jack- 

 son estimated that there were originally 

 in the building not less than 315,000 cu. 

 ft. of masonry. See Jackson (1875) in 

 10th Rep. Hayden Surv., 438, 1879, and
