 see [9:15]; hiiu 'large groove' 'arroyo'). 



[9:13] San fhian Jag.emq'' ohv, of obscure etymology {jag.e 'between'; 

 iivl unexplained; ''oku 'hill'). 



[9:1-1] San Juan Kusd'jd 'great stone' {hu 'stone'; sdjo 'great', form 

 agreeing with lai., mineral singular). 



This stone is what remains of the woman who fed the water- 

 man according to the myth related under [10:26]. Fleeing from 

 '' Okii' 01] irikeji [10:2t>] over the old trail to Picuris, she reached the 

 site of this stone, where she became petrified as she lay down on 

 the ground to rest. The stone lies on a little height about a dozen 

 yards east of Kusojoi/jPi [9:1.5] through which the old trail to 

 Picuris passes. It is a hard grayish-white stone, about the size 

 of a person. The length is five feet, its diameter averages about a 

 foot and a half. Its surface is smooth and roundish. The stone 

 lies north-northwest and south-southeast. The head end, which 

 is to the south-southeast, is slightly higher than the other end. 

 Arms, breasts, and other features (female) are clearly to be made 

 out, as the old Indian informant showed the writer. The stone 

 would weigh a thousand pounds, perhaps. Some small fragments 

 of stone lie on the groiuid just southwest of the stone. These are 

 said to be what remains of two ears of corn which the old woman 

 had with her as provisions during her flight. This stone is a k'aje, 

 or sacred thing. A wagon road passes a few rods east of the spot. 

 Mexicans travel on this road, knowing nothing of the existence of 

 the old woman. The stone has given names to [9:12], [9:15], and 

 [9:16]. 



[9:15] San Juan Kmo'joioiH 'great stone gap,' referring to the Kmo'jo 

 [9:11] {wi'i 'gap' 'pass'). 



The old trail to Picuris passes through this gap. The trail is 

 deeply worn in the gap. The petrified old woman lies near by, 

 to the east. 



[9:16] San Juan Kt/.so'jo^ohi 'great stone hills', referring to the 

 Kuso'jo (see [9:11]; 'oku 'hills'). 



[9:17] Jiitapo 'Utetvair {Juta 'Ute'; po 'trail'). 



This is the old and still well-worn trail to the Ute Indian 

 countrj'. It climbs Canoe Mesa [9:1] opposite the pueblo ruin 

 [9:23], passing up the Jutapo'vQfJmht, [9:18]. It crosses Canoe 

 Mesa [9:1], going toward the north, and Comanche Creek [6:12] 

 at a place not determined, and passes thence to the country where 

 the Ute formerly ranged.
