HARRIXGTO.N] PLACE-NAMES 551 



ticed by members of the Kwirana Society in cpremonies {KioUana 

 unexplained, a secret society of the Tewa; piyf 'mountain'). 

 ^ This mountain is said to be somewhere in the region about Cer- 

 rillos [29:53] and to have two peaks of almost equal height, which 

 resemble closely the ''make-up" of the hair of the men of the 

 Kwirana society when they appear in certain ceremonies, the hair 

 on such occasions being- worn in two "horns". The Kosa society 

 has this same fashion of wearing the hair. 

 (1) Kunj'^s.'oy'wikeji 'turquoise pueblo ruin' {Icunfse 'turquoise'; 

 'oywihjjl 'pueblo ruin' K'qyiri 'pueblo', keji 'old' postpound). 

 This is the Tewa name of the pueblo, said to have been applied 

 because of its proximity to the famous turquoise mines [29:55]. 

 It was probably the Tauo Tewa name also. 



(2) Tano Tewa "Kua-kaa", etc., given by Bandelier, according 

 to whom this name was applied both to this pueblo and to the 

 pueblos [29:18] and [29:11»], q. v. The Tewa informants do not 

 know any such place-name, and unless further information can be 

 obtained from the Tano Tewa of Santo Domingo Pueblo [28:109], 

 our knowledge of this name will probably forever remain in 

 its present imperfect condition. It appears that Bandelier was 

 wrongly informed when he was told that the name "Kua-kaa", 

 etc., was applied by the Tano Tewa to this pueblo. See [29:18] 

 and [29:19]. "Cua-ka".' "Ku-kua".' "Kua-kaa".^ 



(3) Keresan (dialect unspecilied) "Yates ".^ "Ya-atze":^ given 

 as the native name. "Ta-tze"'.^ " Ya-tze":« given as the Kere- 

 san name. "Yatze".' "Yaa-tze".* 



(1) Span. San Marcos 'Saint Mark'. "San Marcos"." "St. 

 Marco ".>» "S. Mark"." 



The sam^ difficulty [in determining whether Tano Tewa or Keresan] exists 

 in regard to San Marcos. This ruin 1 have not seen, but descriptions by intel- 

 ligent persons represent it as a very considerable village, and as having formed 

 several quadrangles. Its name in Queres [Keresan] is Ya-tze. [[Foolnote:'] 

 It appears under the name of 'Yates' in the Obediencia y Vasalloje dc San Joan 

 Bapthta.) But the Tanos call it Kua-kaa, the same name as the one ( [29:18] 

 and [29:19]) on the Arroyo Hondo [29:17]. In 1680, at the breaking out of 

 the insurrection, it had six hundred inhabitants. [[Footnote. ■'\ Vetancurt, Cnhdca, 

 p. 324: 'Tenia seiscientos cristianos, de nacion Queres.' On the other hand, 

 Escalante ( Carta, par. 3) writes as follows: 'Dia 15 sitiaron ii ^sta los Tanos de
