(4) Span. Rio Pecos, Riode Pecos 'Pecos River'. = Tewa(l), 

 Eng. (3). The river is so called because Pecos Pueblo [29:33] was 

 situated on it. 



It rises in Mora county, in the Pecos Tliver Forest Reserve [22: introduction], 

 and flows southeasterly for over 400 miles through the Territory [of New Mex- 

 ico] and finally enters the Rio Grande in Texas. Along its upper coiir.se it is 

 a mountain stream, but in Guadalupe county it assumes the characteristics of 

 the lower Rio Grande, a wide, shifting, sandy bed, cutting through bluffs or 

 spreading over lowlands, carrying an immense volume of water during floods, 

 seeping into the ground along certain stretches during drouth, but always hav- 

 ing a strong underflow. . . . The Pecos has a number of long tributaries, but 

 none of them carries a great volume of water, except after heavy rains or during 

 flood season. '

 descriptive. It is fretjuently applied to Pecos, more frequently 

 to Galisteo Pueblo ruin [29:39]; it could be applied to any pueblo 

 ruin in the "down-country" region — roughly speaking, the region 

 al)out Santa Fe [29:.5], Pecos [29:33], and Galisteo [29:39]. Cor-
