The Rio Grande never becomes dry as far north as the 

 Tewa country. In summer the waters frequently sink into the 

 sand a short distance above Bernalillo [29:90]. In July, 1908, the 

 stream flowed only a short distance beyond Cochiti Pueblo [28:77]. 

 At high water the Rio Grande is dangerous to ford in the Tewa 

 country. 



The chief tributaries of the Rio Grande in the Tewa country are 

 Truchas Creek [9:9], the Chama River [Large Features:2], Santa 

 Cruz Creek [15:18], Santa Clara Creek [14:24], Pojoaque Creek 

 [19:3], Guaje Creek [16:53], "Buckman Arroyo" [20:25], Pa ja- 

 rito Can3'on [17:30], Water Canyon [17:58], and Ancho Canyon 

 [17:62]. The Chama River is said to run perennially to its con- 

 fluence with Rio Grande. "South of the Rio Chama, the waters 

 of not a single tributary of the Rio Grande reach the main artery 

 throughout the whole year." ' The Rio Grande is quite clear above 

 the Chama confluence. The water of the Chama is reddish with, 

 mud and the water of the Rio Grande below the Chama confluence 

 has a dirty reddish or brownish color. See under [Large Fea- 

 tures :2]. 



Just above the Tewa country the Rio Grande passes through the 

 Canyon [8:6i], q. v. From this it emerges at [8:75], but the 

 precipitous wall of Canoe Mesa [13:1] hugs the river on the west 

 as far south as the Chama confluence. 



From the vicinity of the Chama confluence in the north to that 

 of San Ildefonso Pueblo [19:22] in the south the valley of the Rio 

 Grande is comparatively broad, bordered on the east by low hills 

 and on the west by low mesas. This section is frequently cfilled 

 by Americans the " Espaiiola Valley ", from Espanola [14:1G], its 

 chief town. 



In this section lie the three Tewa pueblos situated by the river, 

 namely, San Juan [ll;San Juan Pueblo], Santa Clara [14:71], and
