liantly lighted cavity. Forthwith the animal shapes disappear, and the wicked 

 sorcerers resume their human appearance and enter the cavern to carouse till 

 daylight.' 



See [28:52]. Cf. Cave in TfetepStfe hills [28:uDlocated]. 

 Pueblo ruin in the dell at the mouth of Alamo Canyon [28:20]. 



The basin [28:22] is not more than three-quarters of a mile in diameter, and 

 groves of cottonwood trees grow on its fertile soil. A small ruin stands at the 

 foot of the Potrero del Alamo [28:23], having 24 cells of tlie average size of ."..5 

 by 2.9 meters (llj by 9J feet), constructed of parallelepipeds of tufa. Scarcely 

 any pottery was to be seen. From this basin the cliffs surrounding it on 

 three sides rise to towering heights, and the Potrero del Alamo [28:2.S] 

 especially presents a grand apiiearance. . . . Except at the little basin 

 [28:21], the Rio Grande leaves no space for settlement between San Ildefonso 

 and Cochiti.^ 



See [28:22], [28:23]. 



Cochiti Iletaaiifekotfo 'cottonwood mountain' {Iwki'anfe 'cotton- 

 wood'; Ico 'mountain'; tfg locative). 

 This is a mountain west of Cochiti. 



Santo Domingo "Huash-pa Tzen-a."^ Given as the Santo Domingo 

 name for Santo Domingo Pueblo after it was moved from [28:117] 

 to a spot near its present site. 



Dr. Spinden states that he inquired about this name when at 

 Cochiti, and learned merely that hwdfpa is a kind of bush 

 and that there is a place somewhere in the hills which is named 

 after it. See under [28 : 109]. " Tzen-a " .sounds like Cochiti txena 

 'river' 'Rio Grande'. Mr. F. W. Hodge is authority for the 

 statement that there is a Cochiti clan by the name of Tsin ' turkey '. 



San Felipe "Isht-ua Yen-e."^ Bandelier adds in a note the partial 

 etymology of the name: "From Isht-ua, arrow." The name oc- 

 curs in a San Felipe tradition recorded by Bandelier: "a place 

 above [north of] Santo Domingo [28:109] called Isht-ua Yen-e, 

 where many arrow-heads are found to-day."'' See the quotation 

 of the story under [29: (19]. 



(1) Keresan (evidently Cochiti) "Ka-ma Chinaya. . . . Ka-ma sig- 

 nifies house, and Chin-a-ya torrent, or mountain gorge in which 

 runs a torrent.'''^ 



(2) Span. "Canon de la Bolsa.''^ This means 'pocket canyon'. 



The Potrero Chato [28:36] is frequently called Capulin, and its upper part is 

 termed Potrero de San IMiguel [28:.37]. As it is three-lobed, the three lobes 

 bear different local names. Between them lie, from nortli to south, the Canon 

 Jose Sanchez (Tyeshtye Ka-ma Chinaya) [28:51], and the Caiion de la Bolsa 

 (Ka-ma Chinaya).^
