Moreover he knew of a very old woman who
was married from there as a girl and who
"belongs" in _tekta_.

31. otsal D P. 240. "A former village site," now
destroyed. "The present Indians know
nothing about a town here."

32. woxkero C See no. 34.

33. woxtek C See no. 34.

34. qootep C P. 240. There is no question concerning
the aboriginal existence of these towns.
Confusion among modern informants has been
due to population shifts caused by the
flood of 1862, which damaged _qootep_.
