independent [between 1680 and 1692], 

 and an effort to repeople it was made by 

 Diego de Vargas after the pacification of 

 New Mexico in 1695, but with little suc- 

 cess. Tziguma was therefore a historic 

 pueblo. Nevertheless, I am in doubt as 

 to which stock its inhabitants belonged. 

 Theyarementioned as being Queres, . . . 

 but the people of Cochiti do not regard 

 them as having been of their own stock, 

 l3ut as belonging to the Puya-tye or Ta- 

 nos. Until the question is decided by 

 further researches among the Tanos of 

 Santo Domingo, I shall hold that the 

 pueblo was a Tanos village." It con- 

 tained no Indians in 1782, and at no time 

 did its population reach 1,000.— Arch.

Cinnabar. The sulphide of mercury, 

 which supplies a brilliant red pigment 

 used to a considerable extent by the na- 

 tive tribes. It is somewhat more bril- 

 liant in hue than the hematites, being 



the basis of the vermilion of commerce. 

 It occurs in pulverulent earthy forms and 

 as a compact ore largely in connection 

 with serpentines. It is found in Cali- 

 fornia and Texas, and to a limited ex- 

 tent in Idaho, Utah, and Nevada. Yar- 

 row found it associated with burials in 

 s. California, and remarks that, used as 

 a paint for the person, it might be ex- 

 pected to cause "constitutional derange- 

 ments of a serious nature" (Surv. W. 

 100th Merid., vii, 1879), and Meredith 

 (Moorehead, Prehist. Impls., 1900) even 

 attributes the diseased bones so often ob- 

 tained from native graves to the excessive 

 use of this pigment. (w. h. h.)

Cisco. A name applied to various spe- 

 cies of fish found in the region of the 

 great lakes, particularly the lake herring 

 (Corcgo)iu.i artedi) and the lake noon-eye 

 (C hoyi). The word is said to be taken 

 from one of the Algonquian dialects of 

 the region, but its origin is not clear. 

 Perhaps it is a reduction of ciscoette or 

 dskonyii. (a. f. c. )

 Badin, in 1830 (Ann. de Ifi Prop, de la
