is applied to the entire lower course of the arroyo. Bandelier 

 says: 



The Eio de Santa F<5 [29:8] flows from east to west through the northern sec- 

 tion of this area [the Taiio country], and the San Pedro, or Una deGato, irri- 

 gates its southwestern corners. But the waters of neither of these streams 

 reach the Rio Grande except during heavy rains. . . . The San Pedro dwin- 

 dles down to the sandy Arroyo del Tunque, 12 miles east of the Rio Grande.' 



It [Tunque Pueblo ruin [29:82]] lies on a gentle bare slope near the banks 

 of a stream which in the mountains farther south is called Rio de San 

 Pedro, lower down [than the stretch called Rio de San Pedro or than [29:82]?] 

 XJiia de Gato, and here takes the name of Arroyo del Tunque. A little beyond 

 the ruin [29:82] the stream sinks and becomes a dry mountain torrent for 12 

 miles, to its mouth opposite the present pueblo of San Felipe [29:69].- 



Not a trace is left of the old pueljlo [29: 66], near the round mesa of Ta-mi-ta 

 [29:6.5]. The floods of the Tunque, on the northern border of which it stood, 

 have combined with those of the Rio Grande to obliterate every trace.^ 



The narrow valley of the upper San Pedro resembles somewhat that of the 

 Pecos [29:32], but the stream is not as large, and the scenery decidedly grander. 

 The forests descend into the bottom, and the peaks of the San Pedro range 

 [[29:73] and [29:74]?], covered with lieautiful pines, rise at a short distance in 

 the east. In the west, the slopes of the Sandia chain [29:83] sweep upwards 

 like an enormous slanting roof terminated by a long shaggy crest. There is 

 not nmch space for cultivation, yet enough for the inhabitants of a good-sized 

 pueblo. ■• 



The writer has been unable to obtain an Indian name for this 

 arroyo. Sec [29:76], [29:80]. [29:82] and "Arroyo de la Yuta' 

 [29:unlocated]. 

 [29:71] Span. "La Angostura";'* this means 'the defile' 'the narrows'. 



San Felipe [29:69] . . . is the last of the Queres [Keresan] villages on the Rio 

 Grande towards the south, and beyond the deflle formed by the Black Mesa 

 [29:67] on one side and the high gravelly bluffs above Algodones [29:78] on 

 the other, can be seen the beginning of the range of the Tiguas [Tiwa]. 

 This [detile] is called ' La Angostura' or 'The Narrows'." 



[29:7-2] (1) Eng. Ortiz Mountain.s. (<Span.). = Span. (2). 



(2) Span. Sierra Ortiz. Sierra de los Ortizes 'Ortiz Mountains' 

 'Mountains of the Ortizes', Ortiz being a Span, family name. 

 = Eng. (1). Cf. the name of Ortiz settlement [29:62], which may 

 have given this name to the mountains. "Ortiz Moimtains."' 



(3) Span. Sierra de Dolores, 'Dolores Mountains', named from 

 Dolores settlement [29:unlocated]. "Sierra de Dolores."^
