tern limit of the tribe. Within this territory the
group moved about with considerable freedom.

The following is a digest of the inhabited sites for the eleven groups.
The groups are numbered (but the names omitted) in the order in which
they appear on pages 296 to 303 of Gifford's paper.

1. One village is mentioned but no camp sites. For the group,
therefore, the maximum number of sites occupied at any given time
must be _one_.

2. Two "hamlets" are given by name. Since these are quite close
together and in the same terrain, it may be assumed that _two_
sites were simultaneously occupied.

3. Here are mentioned three camp sites and two villages (Esim
and Melhomikem), one with 7-9 houses and the other with 8
houses. There was also a village which had been settled after
the coming of the white man, with 6 houses. It appears clear that
aboriginally there were _two_ semipermanent sites and a number of
temporary settlements.

4. For this group Gifford mentions one beach village by name, one
inland village, name unknown, and three camp sites. Although the
beach and inland villages may not have been simultaneously
occupied, the existence of three additional camp sites implies more
people than would be contained in a single settlement at one time.
Hence it is reasonable to regard the group as consisting of at
least _two_ village units.

5. There was one inland village with 6 houses (Onbit), one beach
village (Lilpinkem) and one camp site with 8 houses. In view of the
single camp site we have to regard the group as having _one_ site
occupied at a given time.

6. Here was one winter village and one beach village with no camp
sites mentioned. Thus we may count _one_ occupied site.

7. For this group there are known two villages, two hamlets, and
one camp site, all with names. One hamlet had 3-4 houses and one
village had 5 houses. Since there is no information on the location
of the villages we may count all _four_.

8. _Three_ hamlets are mentioned by name.

9. _Two_ villages are mentioned by name.

10. _One_ village mentioned.

11. _One_ village mentioned.

The irreducible minimum number of villages therefore totals 20. It is
quite probable that some of the other sites might be or ought to be
counted but, since the evidence concerning them is equivocal, they will
not be
