 hi 'its', niyol 'whirlwind': 'Whirlwind 

 pueblo.' — Matthews). One of the best 

 preserved of the put^blo ruins of the Chaco 

 canyon group in n. w. New Mexico. It is 

 not in the canyon proper, but in the basin 

 of an arroyo tributary to it. The ruin 

 lies 500 yds. e. of the wash, at the base of 

 a low mesa, about 10 m. w. and 5 m. s. of 

 Pueblo Bonito. It is rectangular in form, 

 having 3 wings extending to the s., one 

 at the center and one at each extremity 

 of the main building. The exterior di- 

 mensions of the parallelogram occupied 

 by the building are approximately 320 by 

 270 ft. The 2 courts formed by the wings 

 are 91 by 125 and 76 by 83 ft respectively, 

 the former being inclosed by a low wall, 

 the latter open. Ten circular kivas are 

 built within the walls of the structure, 

 the largest being 26 ft in diameter and 

 the smallest 15 ft. The largest rectangu- 

 lar room is 16 J by 17 ft, the smallest 7 by 

 11 ft. The walls of the ruin stand 30 ft 

 above the plain. Of the n. exterior wall 

 120 ft are still standing to above the 

 second story. Parts of a fourth story wall 

 are still in place. Probably half the orig- 

 inal walls are still standing. The doors 

 average 22 by 34 in. in size, the windows 

 8 by 12 in. Walls and corners are true 

 to the plummet and try-square, an excep- 

 tional occurrence in aboriginal structures. 

 The remains of extensive irrigation works 

 exist in close proximity, the most elabor- 

 ate that have been observed in the San 

 Juan drainage. (e. l. h. )
