fact that the place is shown on the map by Randall (p. 206) under the name of _Herwahgah_. Merriam lists _rliiken-pets_ as _oleeken_ and says that it is a "former village ... about 3 miles below Blue Creek ... named from Oleeken Bar, at the upper end of which it is located." On his "Geographic List" of Yurok villages he describes _Hawwagah_ as an "old camp" but on his later list entitled "Polikan (Yurok) Tribes, Bands and Settlements" he has interpolated in ink "former village." _Tawchter_ he describes as a "village on north bank of Klamath right across from _Hawwagah_." The weight of the evidence favors certainly two and probably three villages. Waterman ascribes (p. 207) 2 houses to _rliiken-pets_, to which may be added another 2 for _tawchter_. Across the river _howego_ may also have had 4 houses. 24. rnr C P. 237. Waterman says this town was being abandoned before the coming of the whites but it is shown on Kroeber's map (p. 9) and also on Randall's map of 1866. Hence it must have persisted for at least twenty years after the white invasion. 25. nagil C See no. 28. 26. ayol C See no. 28. 27. awpaw P See no. 28. 28. torah P Pp. 238 and 207. Informants of Waterman recalled 4 houses at _nagil_, settled by the great-grandmother of Weitschpek Frank. The latter was a man of approximately forty years of age when Waterman saw him in 1909. Hence, allowing twenty-five years per generatio
