This name is applied bj' Mexicans vaguely to an area a couple 

 of miles in length. The settlement consists at present of a couple 

 of deserted Mexican houses at the place indicated by the number, 

 near where the trail from Estaca [10:3] descends the mesa [7:16].

 ring to [7:16] {tsi 'basalt'; pseyge 'beyond'; &m'm 'large low

(2) TsemibiHii, ' eagle gap corner ', referring to [7:24] {Tsewi'*, see 

 [7:24]; hu^u 'large low roundish place'). 



This large low area is formed partly by a concave curve which 

 the mesa [7:16] makes at this locality, partly by the receding of 

 the small hills [7:.5]. The place is arid and uninhabited. 

 [7:23] Tse/vikiraje, Tsevjihe.'i 'eng\e gap height' {TseivPi, see [7:24]; 

 hjjaje, Jce-ii. 'height'). 



This round knob is of the same height as the adjacent mesa-top 

 [7:16] and is really only a detached portion of the latter separated 

 from it by an eroded gap [7:24]. The little mountainous knob is 

 very striking in appearance, and appears to be well known to 

 many Tewa in the various villages. It can be seen from a great 

 distance at many points west and north of it, but is not visible 

 from any of the Tewa villages now inhabited. It would not be 

 surprising if a shrine were discovered on its top.
