Lew Wallace of New Mexico and j^iven in the eighties. This name 

 was changed to Thornton in 1890 in honor of Governor Thornton 

 of New Mexico. It was found that the name Thornton was pro- 

 nounced with .so great difficulty by the Span. -speaking popula- 

 tion, who called it sontan, tornton, etc., that it has been changed 

 to Donjingo, which name it now bears. The Indians usually call 

 the place either Wallace or Domingo. The population of Domingo 

 was 60 in 1911. There is a large trading store conducted by Mr. 

 Julius Seligman. A small Roman Catholic chapel has recently 

 been built. See [28:109].

The "Guipui" of Onate, 1598 (Doc. Ined., xvi, p. 102, 1871),

 of this name was obtained hy the writer, but the notes are not 

 available. The pueblo ruin [28:117] is described b}' Bandelier.

 name. The proper Span, form would be Arroyo de los Valdez. 

 This is evidentlj' a gulch which runs through the southern part 

 of Santo Domingo Pueblo [28:109]: "Several ton-ents on the 

 south, like the Arroyo de los Valdeses and others, do mischief.'"^ 

 See [28:109]. 



Cave in Tfeiej)6tfe hills [28:76]. Somewhere in these hills there is 

 said to be a large cave which is used by the Cochiti Indians for 

 ceremonial purposes. The informant knew no name for this 

 cave. Bandelier probably refers to this and other caves when he 

 writes: "Artificial caves are said 'to exist in some of the rocks in 

 the hills visible from Cochiti [28:77]." See [28:75], also the

In the lower portions of the Canada [28:52] is a low cliff famous in witch-
