total of 10 houses to the group, a
reasonable figure (p. 206, see also pp.
251-252).
54. wahsek C P. 254. No question.
55. weitspus C P. 257. No question.
56. rlrgr C P. 258. "... always a small place" but
several of its families were rich. On
Kroeber's map.
57. pekwutul C P. 258. "... slightly larger than _rlrgr_"
but had some wealthy citizens. On Kroeber's
map.
58. loolego C P. 258. Shown on Kroeber's map as a standard
town. Waterman says that 30 years before
his visit, _i.e._, in 1879, 2 pits and a
sweathouse were to be seen there.
_loolego_ "... must at one time have been
considerably larger for these people made
up one of four parties who carried on the
public spectacles in the deer skin
ceremony at _weitspus_. They could not
have done this had they not been rather
numerous.... They were obviously
influential people." This condition must
have obtained long before 1879 when only
house pits were known. The site was
destroyed by mining in the 1880's.
59. aiqoo C P. 259. Waterman says: "... at least two
houses and a sweathouse stood here."
Kroeber (p. 10) considers _aiqoo_ as a
subdivision of _otsepor_ but Merriam lists
it as a separate village, under the name
_Ikocho_.
60. otsepor C In 1909 when Waterman saw it the village
had merely three house pits. But an
informant "... well remembers when several
families ... lived here. They had fine
large houses."
61. espaw C P. 261. No question as to existence.
