 The Santa Clara informant does not know wh}' this name is 

 given; he thinks that the narrow point referred to may be the whole 

 of the mesa. Bandelier writes: "On the north side a castle-like 

 mesa of limited extent detaches itself from the foot of the Pelade. 

 The Tehuas callit Shu-6nne."' "Shu Finne."- "Shu-finne.'"^ 

 "Shufinne."^ "Shufinne."^ "Tsiphenu."" "Tsifeno."" The 

 forms "Tsiphenu" "Tsifeno," meaning black obsidian' (see 

 under Minerals, p. 584) are incorrect, being based on informa- 

 tion obtained b\' the writer in 1908 from San Ikfefonso and Santa 

 Clara Indians, who did not know the old Santa (Jlara name for 

 the place. Mr. Ignacio Aguilar of San Ildefonso calls the place 

 Tsip\nnu 'black obsidian' to this day. The ruin and locality
