This sheet(niap 17) shows a large area in the Pajarito Plateau south- 

 west of the San lldefonso Pueblo. The country is of the same charac- 

 ter as that shown on sheet [16]. This sheet [17] contains Tsirege Pueblo 

 ruin [17:34], after which Doctor Hewett named the Pajarito Plateau; 

 see [17:34], and the introduction to sheet [16]. The area represented 

 on the sheet proper is claimed by the San lldefonso Indians, and most 

 of the names of places are known to thi-m only. The soutliern boun- 

 dary of the sheet proper is approximately the boundary between the 

 country claimed hj the San IIdefon.so people as the home of their 

 ancestors and that claiiued ])y the Cochiti as the home of their ancestors. 

 The part of the area near the Kio Grande is often included under the 

 name fwiutvcsyfie 'beyond Buckman Mesa [20:5]'; see introduction 

 to [20].
