ett (1908, p. 147, fn.) as the Shi-bal-ni Pomo.
5. _Calli-tal-pomas._ Dr. Barrett is unable to identify the name
but the people lived in the same vicinity as the tribes mentioned
previously. It is possible that they may have been the _kabelal_ of
Stewart (1943. p. 39).
6. _Yo-pomas._ Dr. Barrett thinks (personal communication) that
this term may signify _Yo kai pomo_ ("south valley people") who
would have lived near Ukiah. But Heintzelman states that they lived
between Kinomo (Round) Valley and Martoo (Sherwood) Valley, and
hence must have been Northern Pomo.
7. _Maa-to-ma-pomas._ With regard to these people Dr. Barrett
writes me as follows: "Possibly refers to Little Lake or Willits
Valley people _mtomkai_, or _bitomkai_ (1908, p. 128, fn.), or to
_mitoma_, on a knoll in the town of Willits (ibid., p. 145)." The
latter hypothesis appears the more probable (Stewart, 1943, p. 36
ff., discusses this subtribe at length). Heintzelman adds the
information that the Maa-to-ma-pomas are divided into seven tribes,
of which the _Sho-he-shas_ are the most numerous. Barrett (1908, p.
146, fn.) thinks that the latter people are the Chow-e-chak of
M'Kee. Heintzelman further says that the territory covered extends
from Metumki (Little Lake) Valley to the coast.
8. _So-as._ Barrett considers (personal communication) that this
name refers to the village of _sosa-tca_, in Sherwood Valley (cf.
1908, p. 147).
Irrespective of conflicts in terminology it appears that Heintzelman
fairly well covered the area usually assigned to the Northern Pomo
under the eight designations just listed. His total population value is
5,350, slightly greater than but very close to the estimate derived
from ethnographic data (i.e., 5,040). This close correspondence will be
seen as specially significant when we come to examine his report on the
Central and Southern Pomo.
_Northern Pomo ... 5,040_
CENTRAL POMO
_Ukiah._--In the Ukiah area are included four of Stewart's subtribes:
the Yokaia of Ukiah Valley, the Ciego of Largo, the Cokoa of Hopland,
and the Yobakeya of Echo. There are all consolidated by Merriam in his
manuscript entitled "Tribe List of Yo-ki-ah Pomo" and will be
considered together.
Stewart is very positive that these four tribes all lived in one
central village. He says regarding the Yokaia: "Although several
villages are given by
