(4) Span. Arroyo Chupadero, Canon Chupadero 'sucking place 

 canyon'. = Eng. (3). 



Span, chupadero means 'sucking place' 'nursing bottle". 

 Doctor Hewett explains the application of the name Chupadero 

 to this canyon in a very satisfactory way. In the bed of the 

 lower part of the arroyo. Doctor Hewett says, holes or pits in 

 the sand are always to be seen. These, which are sometimes 5 

 feet or more in depth, are made by the donkeys pastured in the 

 region, who always obtain water in this fashion, although the sur- 

 face of the arroyo-bed may be entirely dr^-. This explanation 

 probably accounts for the frequent appearance of the name of 

 Chupadero on the map of New Mexico. Mr. llodge informs the 

 writer that the name "chupadero" is applied also to a certain 

 aptei'ous insect. Information given by Indians and ]\Iexicans 

 leads to the conclusion that no such application is current in New 

 Mexico. "Chupadero Canyon.'"' "Chupadero".^ For the name 

 cf. [22:51J, [22:r.s], [23:2.5],' [26:4].
