the Canon Jose Sanchez [28:51] (Tyeaht-ye Ka-ma Chinaya), and the Canon 

 de la Bolsa [28:unlocatedl (Ka-ma Cliiuaya). Ka-ma signifies house, and 

 Chin-a-ya torrent , or mountain gorge in which runs a torrent. South of the 

 Potrero Chato is the Pot rero Largo [28:40], with two additions, of which 

 the eastern one ia called the Potrero de los Idoloa [28:44] (Shiior-e Ka uash, 

 or round mesa).' 



Thi.s pai^sage is vague. The mesa is said to be three-lobed and 

 "the three lobes bear different local names." Yet Chata and 

 Capulin are given as synonymous and applied to the whole mesa 

 and San IMiguel is said to be applied only to the upper part. The 

 names of the lobes therefore do not seem to be given. It is diffi- 

 cult to understand how Jose Sanchez Canyon can lie between any 

 of the lobes, or where the "Canon de la Bolsa" (unknown to the 

 writer's Cochiti informants) is situated. See [28:37], [28:38], 

 [28:30], [28::>9]. 



[28:37] (1) Eng. San Miguel Mesa. (<Span.). =Span. (l>). 



(•i) Span. Mesa San Miguel, Potrero San Miguel 'Saint Mi- 

 chael's Mesa or land-tongue'. Cf. Sierra San Miguel [28:2',i]. 

 = Eng. (1). "Potrero de San Miguel."' 



According to an Indian informant of Cochiti, this name is ap- 

 plied to the upper part of [28:36], at the foot of the San Miguel 

 Mountains [28:29]. On this stands the ruin [28:39]. Bandelier 

 writes: "The Potrero Chato [28:36] is frequently called Capulin, 

 and its upper part is termed Potrero de San Miguel."' It is evi- 

 dently the Potrero San Miguel which Bandelier desci'ibes when 

 he writes: "It [28:39] stands on a bald eminence, from which, 

 as from the Potrero de las Vacas, an extensive view is obtained 

 in all directions except the west and north."- See [28:36]. 



[28:38] Nameless pueblo ruin. Doctor Hewett informed the writer 

 of this ruin and kindly located it for him. Bandelier says of 

 Capulin Mesa: "A number of small houses are scattered over 

 it."' Bandelier^ gives considerable general information about 

 the small ruins scattered over Capulin Mesa, but mentions no- 

 where the existence of this pueblo ruin. Cf. [28:39]. 



[28:39] (1) Cochiti JId\ifseM' iiuitsefSma '■Tpnehlo ruin of the earth' 

 (Aa'afce 'earth' 'world'; )cd\untsef6ma ''■pueMo ruin' Klca'mafse 

 ' settlement,' /o?H.r» 'old'). This name was not familiar to any of 

 the Cochiti informants, but was given as an emendation of the 

 name given by Bandelier.. A clan called ILVafne is not known by 

 them to exist or to have ever existed at Cochiti or Santo Domingo. 

 Hodge* gives this word, however, as the name of now extinct clans 

 • of San Felipe and Laguna. " This pueblo [28:39] the Queres [Kere- 

 sans] of Cochiti call Ha-a-tze (earth), which seems to be its origi-
