thus probable and 3 houses may be ascribed
to it.

39. wererger P Merriam mentions this as a "village on
north bank Klamath River, across from
Mettah and a little above it." At this
spot Waterman shows on his map no. 11 an
"old village site" (his key no. 117).
Hence the existence of the village is
probable.

40. meta C P. 245. No question.

41. keperor P P. 245. Numerous house pits but informants
never saw the houses. "The inhabitants all
died at once and so the site has never
been used since." A reasonable conclusion
is that a village existed but that the
people died of disease of epidemic
character. (Cf. no. 13.)

42. nohtskum C P. 246. A town with only house pits
remaining but of undoubted existence.

43. weiqem P A site with 7 or 8 pits. Informants could
not remember any houses. Some said it was
a camp site but they had an elaborate
legend to explain the house pits. The site
is at the mouth of Roach Creek on the
south bank of the river and hence a spot
where one would normally expect a town to
be located. Moreover the number of house
pits is in excess of what would be
anticipated for a mere camp site.

44. himel C P. 247. This was a town, but the
informants could barely remember the
houses. Waterman could not determine why
the inhabitants had disappeared. Kroeber
mentions the village as one which may have
been inhabited intermittently or
temporarily (p. 8) and shows it thus on
his map. However, he refers to it as a
distinct town
