we have evidence ou which to estimate rouglily the population of 

 ruined villages from their present appearance."' But Bandelier 

 would have us understand tiuit [28:58] was built, occupied a few 

 j'ears, and abandoned by Cochiti Indians and their allies at the 

 time of the revolt of 1680, while the present Cochiti [28:77] stood 

 where it now stands at the time that the Spaniards began to col- 

 onize the country, it having been built at some time previous to 

 the coming of the Spaniards, by Indians whose earlier home was 

 somewhere about Cochiti Canada [28:52]; see [28:77]. The 

 writer's Cochiti Indian informants said that a pueblo, now in 

 ruins, on top of the mesa [28:56] was the first village called 

 Kotfete; that they did not know when this was abandoned, but 

 that when it was abandoned its population built the present 

 pueblo of Kotfete^ or Cochiti, which was named after the earlier 

 village; that the ruin [28:(J1] is never called Kotfete; that old 

 Kotfete was the last settlement inhabited by the Cochiti people 

 on their migration southward from Tfo'onfe before building 

 the present village. See Cochiti Kotfete foTua [28:unlocated], 

 page 454. 



[28:59] Nameless canyon. This begins near the pueblo ruin [28:39] 

 and enters Cochiti Canyon almost opposite the pueblo ruin [28:58], 

 according to information obtained by Mr. K. A. Fleischer.

This is a small, miserable-looking Alexican hamlet. Its history 

 is given by Bandelier.^ The grant was made in 1728, and in 1782 

 the Canada had 184 Mexican settlers. In the early part of the 

 nineteenth century the settlement was abandoned for several 

 years on account of depredations of the Navaho. '"From it 

 [28:56] expands a wide view, and the little houses of the hamlet 

 of the Canada [28:60] appear tiny at a depth of nearly five hun- 

 dred feet below. The ruins of Kua-pa [28:61] lie about a mile 

 and a half lower down the valley than the present Mexican settle- 

 ment [28:60], midway between the Potrero Viejo [28:56] and the 

 Potrero de los Idolos [28:44]." =
