those of five large churches. In the vicinity of the Hot Springs (Ojcs 

 CaUcntes), twelve miles above Jemez, in the Canon de San Diego, are the 

 ruins of one of them. The walls are fully 7 feet thick, and the interior 

 space 100 feet long by 35 feet wide, with a tower attached on the north 

 side. The destruction of this church probably took place in 1680, at the 

 time of the great Pueblo revolution against the Spanish priests and soldiers. 



It may be added, with regard to the Pueblo people of the present day, 

 who hardly number more than 8,000 souls, that, taking difference of language 

 as a base, there are eight tribes, which occupy the following towns: 



Zufii. — Zuni, Nutrias, Ojo de Pescado. 



Moqid. — Hualvi, Tsitsumevi, Mushangenevi, Shongobavi, Shebaulavi, 

 Orayvi. 



Tanos. — Isleta, below Albuquerque; Isleta, below El Paso; Zandia. 



Taos. — Taos (Indian name, Takhe), Picoris. 



Qicerez. — Santa Ana (Indian name, Tomia), San Felipe, San Domingo, 

 Silla (Indian name, Tsia), Cochiti. 



Kan-ayTio or Sis-stei-me. — Acoma (Indian name, Ako), Laguna (Indian 

 name, Kanayko), Povate (Indian name, Kvishti), Moguino, Hasatch. 



Telma. — Nambe - , Tesuque, Ildefonso, Pajoaque, San Juan, Santa Clara, 

 Tehua (with the Moqui Pueblos in Arizona). 



Jemez. — Jemos (Pecos, extinct). 



The language of the Kanayko tribe resembles closely that of the 

 Querez tribe; and, on the other hand, the languages of the Tanos and Taos 

 tribes are closely allied to each other. With these two exceptions the 

 languages of these tribes differ so much that, in order to understand each 

 other, those speaking them have recourse to the Spanish language.
