HARRINGTON] PLACE-NAMES 183 



(24) Span. "Braba".^ "Brada".= As Hodge suggests,^ Cas- 

 taneda's "Braba" may be a miscopying of "Tuata", but it seems 

 to the writer that it is probably a miscopying of Tuaba or some 

 such spelling of the Taos name Tuaha (see Taos (4), above). 



(25) Span. " Valladolid".'' Taos was probably called thus by 

 the Spaniards on account of its fancied i-esemblant'e to, or in mem- 

 ory of, the Spanish city of this name. 



(26) Span. "Yuraba".^ "Uraba"." As Hodge suggests,nhese 

 forms are perhaps in place of the Pecos form equivalent to 

 JuJatd, or rather of Ju'lalo, which is thought to be another 

 Jemez form. 



(27) Span. "Tayberon'',' as a name for the province of '"Teos" 

 Taos. 



(28) SjDan. "'Tejas".* It is not certain that Garces refers to 

 the Taos when he uf*e.s this word. 



(29) Span. "Tejos"." This is identified with Taos.'" 

 Bandelier describes Taos as follows: "Taos has two tall liouses 



facing each other, one on each side of the little stream, and com- 

 municating across it by means of wooden footbridges."" Cf. the 

 names [8:24], [8:43], [8:51], [8:52], [8:53], [8:54], [8:57], [8:58]. 

 [8:46] Pueblo ruin about a hundred yards northeast of Taos. 



Dr. H. J. Spinden has described this ruin as follows : "There 

 is an old pueblo site about a hundred yards from Taos pueblo, 

 on the north side of the creek, uji the creek from Taos. This 

 is said to be a part of Taos which burned down about four hun- 

 dred years ago. Remains of potterj^ of several kinds, metates, 

 mortars, etc., may be picked up at the ruin". The following de- 

 scription evidently refers to the same ruin: "Au nord du village 

 de Taos, a quelques metres de la m,aison du nord du village actuel, 

 on voit les ruines da j)uehlo occupe en dernier lieu par les Indiens 

 Taos, avant Tetablissement des deux grandes constructions en ter- 

 rasses qu'ils habitent aujourd'hui. Ces ruines ne sont plus que 

 des amas d'adobe desagrege en miettes. On ne sait pas quand le 

 village de Taos a ete rebati sur le plan actuel, mais il est probable 

 que ce fut dans la periode historique. Cette question sera sHre- 

 ment elucidee par les investigations ulterieures".'-
