190 BELIEFS AND USAGES OF CHICKASAW [BTH. ANN. 44 
These names are thought to have varied in accordance with the 
house group, but in few cases did my informants remember to what 
house group the owner of a name belonged. L[lati*batabi, Aitintabi, 
Aipa’tabi, and Falamictabi were brothers belonging to one of the 
house groups called Intiliho, and Anowatabi belonged to the I"holihta 
ipa. Ibamihabi, Ilapabi, Imohotaidji, Teali, and Ikaiyikamotabi 
belonged to Tcukillissa and Olatitei’ and Imilatabi to Tcuka falaha, 
but I do not know the house groups. For some reason one of my 
informants remembered the names of the house groups to which 
female names belonged better than the allocation of male names, but 
the signification of almost all such feminine names seems to have been 
lost.

SOCIAL ORGANIZATION 
The ancient social organization of the Chickasaw is now so com- 
pletely discarded that practically all of the younger people know 
nothing about it, and even the older ones can furnish only frag- 
mentary information on the subject. If a careful study of this 
organization could have been made when it was in its prime it 
would have been of the greatest value to all students of primitive 
society. However, enough has been preserved to give us a fair idea 
of its general character and its probable position among the social 
systems of the Southeast.
