an even larger population; and they also have the skins of cows and 

 of deer, and cloaks of cotton, as I described. 1 



All the waterways we found as far as this one at Cibola— and I do not 

 know bat what for a day or two beyond — the rivers and streams run 

 into the South sea, and those from here on into the North sea. 



From this first village of Cibola, as I have said, we went to another 

 in the same province, which was about a short day's journey oil', on 

 the way to Tihuex. It is nine days, of such inarches as we made, from 

 this settlement of Cibola to the river of Tihuex. Halfway between, I do 

 not know but it maybe a day more or less, there is a village of earth and 

 dressed stone, in a very strong position, which is called Tutahaco.- All 

 these Indians, except the first in the first village of Cibola, received us 

 well. At the river of Tihuex there are 15 villages within a distance 

 of about 20 leagues, all with flat-roof houses of earth, instead of stone, 

 after the. fashion of mud walls. Then' are other villages besides these 

 on other streams which flow into this, and three of these are. for 

 Indians, well worth seeing, especially one that is called Chia, 3 and an- 

 other Uraba, 4 and another < 'icuique. 5 Craba and Cicuique have many 

 houses two stories high. All the rest, and these also, have corn and 

 beans and melons, skins, and some long robes of feathers which they 

 braid, joining the feathers with a sort of thread; and they also make 

 them of a sort of plain weaving with which they make the cloaks with 

 which they protect themselves. They all have hot rooms underground, 

 which, although not very clean, are very warm. 6 They raise and have 

 a very little cotton, of which they make the cloaks which I have 

 spoken of above. This river comes from the northwest and flows about 

 southeast, which shows that it certainly Hows into the North sea. 

 Leaving this settlement 7 and the said river, we passed two other vil- 

 lages whose names I do not know, ! and in four days came to Cicuique, 

 which I have already mentioned. The direction of this is toward the 

 northeast. From there we came to another river, which the Span- 

 iards named after Cicuique, in three days; if I remember rightly, it 

 seems to me that we went rather toward the northeast to reach this 

 river where we crossed it, and after crossing this, we turned more to
