probable.
_Lu-pu-yo-me_ (Merriam). No details are given by Merriam but the
existence of the village is rendered very probable by the fact that
57 persons are recorded as having been baptized at the mission of
San Rafael from _Lupuyome_. The village may have been destroyed in
the process of conversion and hence have been unknown to later
informants.
_Sahl-sahl-po-goot_ (Merriam), _Shalshal-pukut_ (Kroeber).
Existence probable.
_Sah-ti-yo-me-po-goot_ (Merriam). This village is mentioned by no
other investigator but there are recorded baptisms at Solano
Mission from _Tsatiyome_, which is undoubtedly the same name, hence
its existence is highly probable.
_Tsit-sah-yome_ (Merriam), _Tsitsapogut_ (Barrett), _Tsitsa-pukut_
(Kroeber). This village must be omitted because of the doubt cast
by Kroeber's informant. See Ka-we-yo-me.
_Tso-ke-yo-me-po-goot_ (Merriam), T_sok-yomi-pokut_ (Kroeber).
Existence probable.
_Tumistumis_ (Barrett), _Tumistumis-pukut_ (Kroeber). Existence
probable.
_Wo-de-di-tep-pe-po-goot_ (Merriam), _Wodidaitepi_ (Kroeber).
Existence probable.
_Al-lok-ko-boo-je_ (Merriam only). Existence possible.
_Al-lok-woo-boo-te_ (Merriam only). Existence possible.
_Haw-hawl-po-goot_ (Merriam only). Existence possible.
_Hol-wah-poo-koot_ (Merriam only). Existence possible.
_Oo-yoo-hah-no-mah_ (Merriam only). Existence possible.
_Kalau-yomi_ (Kroeber only). Existence possible.
_Kitsin-pukut_ (Kroeber only). Existence possible.
_Shanak-yomi-pukut_ (Kroeber only). Existence possible.
_Tsukeliwa-pukut_ (Kroeber only). Existence possible.
Reviewing the above compilation, we find four villages the existence,
size, and importance of which are beyond reasonable doubt. There are
five the names of which were known to the informants of all three
ethnographers, or can be found in the mission records. Hence their
existence can be accepted without serious question. Eight others were
located by two, but not three, ethnographers. The probability of their
actual, aboriginal existence is not high but on the other hand there is
no clear reason for excluding them. Four can be omitted from further
consideration on the ground that they were camp sites or were founded
after 1850. Nine are reported by only one investigator, and therefore
all confirmation of their status is lacking. It is q
