ent village, according to the tradition obtained by the writer, 

 is the seventh which these Indians liave occupied in their 

 migration southward. Bandelier treats the history of Cochiti 

 quite fully: ' " It seems certain that when the Spaniards began 

 to colonize the country in 1598 the village of Cochiti stood 

 on the banks of the Kio Grande, almost where it now stands."^ 

 ."North of the Ai'royo de la Peralta [28:71] and on gravelly 

 bluffs above the river bottom, stands the Indian village of 

 Cochiti. The deep groove of the Peralta is waterless except 

 during very heavy rains, and on each side of it I have noticed 

 outcroppings of ruins, the remains of the Cochiti abandoned 

 by its inhabitants after the rebellion of 1680."^ Bandelier gives* 

 as the sixth and seventh sites of Cochiti " the river front on the 

 north side of the Canada de la Peralta [28:Tl] and the south bank of 

 the same torrent." (Is not ''south'' in the last clause a mistake 

 for "north"?) See especially Kotj'eiehd'afietafovia [28:un- 

 located], and [29:69] where San Felipe traditions bearing on 

 Cochiti are quoted.
