(14) Span. "San Antonio de la Isleta":' this means 'Saint 

 Antliony of tlie Islet'. 



(15) Span. San Agustin del Isleta 'Saint Augustine of the 

 islet.' "San Augustin de la Isleta."^ "San Agustin del 

 Isleta."^ "San Augustin del Isleta."* 



This is a large and important Tiwa pueblo, with much admix- 

 ture of Laguna and Mexican blood. Its history is discussed by 

 Bandelier.^ 



The Tiwa and Tewa names for the village seem to refer to the 

 game of kicked stick in some way; just how will probably be 

 made clear b}' a further study of the Tiwa forms. The kicked- 

 stick game is described in Culin." Gushing refers to this game 

 as " the national game of the Zuiii."' The Tewa name seems to 

 refer to this game being played with a piece of obsidian, but the 

 Tewa inform the writer that it was never thus pla^'ed. See 

 Sandia [29:100] and Tiwa (Names of Tribes and Peoples, 

 pages 577-78).

(2) Jemez VokeJcyi. (<Span.). =Eng. (4), Span. (5). 



(3) Navaho " Beeldil Dfisenil":* given as the name of Albu- 

 querque, meaning "at the jilace of the peals (bells)".

(5) Span. Albuquerque. = Jemez (2), Eng. (4). Named in 

 honor of the Duke of Alburquerque, who was Viceroy of New 

 Mexico at the time of the founding of Albuquerque in 1706; see 

 below. 



In the year 1706, Governor Cuervo took thirty famihes to the place we know 

 today by the name of Albuquerque, and founded the Villa of Alburquerque, 

 giving it that name in honor of tlie Duke of Alburquerque who was at the time 

 Viceroy of Mexico. The word 'Alburquerque' is the correct word, and not 

 Albuquerque as it is seen in geographies and books of history. Said Duke 

 never visited New Mexico, as other historians assure us. Cuervo reported to 

 the Viceroy the same year the founding of said villa, but the Viceroy did not 

 welcome the report of Cuervo; he censured him and ordered him to change 

 the name of said Villa to that of San Felipe de Alburquerque, in honor of the 

 sovereign then ruling over the Spains. In August, 1707, the incumbency 

 of Governor Cuervo ended, being succeeded on the first day of that month and 

 year by Admiral Don Jose Chacon Medina S'alazar y Villasenor, Marquez of 

 La Pefiuela, who governed until 1712.'
