n and
assuming that the ancestor was twenty-five
years old when the place was founded, it
must have been settled definitely prior to
1850.

Regarding _ayol_, which Kroeber shows
(map, p. 9) as a standard town, Waterman
says it was a "small settlement." He
thinks the place was early abandoned and
resettled more recently. However Merriam
refers to it as a "village--opposite mouth
of Ahpah Creek" and identifies it with the
_jehehak_ on Randall's map.

Merriam refers to _awpaw_ as a "village on
south bank Klamath at mouth of Ah Pah
Creek, opposite and straight west of
_oyawsl_ (_ayol_)." He also says that
_torah_ was an "old village on west side
of Klamath, close to _nigehl_, opposite
mouth of Blue Creek." It is also on
Randall's map.

From the evidence of Randall and Merriam
it appears probable that there were no
less than four villages at this point on
the river. Waterman gives 4 houses of
_nagil_ and 2 for _ayol_. The other two
villages may be tentatively assigned 3
each.

Contained 3 houses "in memory of people
now living and had been larger than that."
Destroyed by flood in 1862.

30. tekta C P. 239. Kroeber states (p. 10) that
_tekta_ had been occupied recently but did
not seem to be an old site. This is
directly contradicted by Waterman who
calls it "an old town site." The name was
frequently mentioned by his informants.
