" In riding past the foot of the precipice I observed what appeared to be stone 

 walls crowning its summit. Examination of the ridge disclosed the fact that a 

 village, forming a single line of 30 houses, extended along its narrow crest, 22 

 of them being south of the causeway and 8 north of it. The most southern in

 Chama assume a different hue.'"^ Cf. [1:1'J] and [1:25].
