ing villages close up their houses and move back to the main pueblo 
leaving them untenanted until the succeeding spring. 
The great number of abandoned and ruined rooms is very noticeable 
in the farming pueblos illustrated in this and two of the succeeding 
plans (Pls. Lxrx and Lxxm1). The families that farm in their vicinity 
seem to occupy scarcely more than half of the available rooms. 
PESCADO. 
This village, also a Zuni farming pueblo, is situated in a large valley 
about 12 miles northeast from Zuni. Although it is much larger than 
Nutria it is wholly comprised within the compact group illustrated. 
The tendency to build small detached houses noticed at Nutria and at 
Ojo Caliente has not manifested itself here. The prevalence of aban- 
doned and roofless houses is also noticeable.

The outlines of the original court inclosing pueblo (Pl. LXx) are very 
clearly marked, as the farming Zunis in their use of this site have 
scarcely gone outside of the original limits of the ancient pueblo. The 
plan, Pl. Lx1x and Fig. 18, shows a small irregular row built in the large 
inclosed court; this row, with the inclosures and corrals that surround 
it, probably formed no part of the original plan. The full curved out- 
line is broken only at the west end of the village by small additions to 
the outer wall, and the north and east walls also closely follow the 
boundary of the original pueblo. In fact, at two points along the north 
wall fragments of carefully executed masonry, probably forming part 
of the external wall of the ancient pueblo, are still preserved (P1. LXXII). 
This outer wall was probably once continuous to the full height of the
