taticcodAñ (G). In a grove of oaks about 1/4 mi. downstream
from the mouth of North Fork on the W side of the Eel.
19. ne´-tahs, ning-ken-ne´-tset (M). Ne´-tahs is the name of
the town on a rocky stretch of the river. The town ran for a mile
or more S of the mouth of North Fork (Maj). Ning-ken-ne´-tset was
the name of the village which was at the fishing place opposite the
mouth of North Fork and extending S. It was also called "fishtown."
Tip's mother lived there (Tip).
nEtacbi', "land slide in" (G). About a mile S of the mouth
of North Fork on the W side of the Eel. It was a noted fishing
place. Goddard says: "There is no mention in the notes of a village
at this point, but several Wailaki were spoken of at times as
belonging to the nEtacbi'."
20. sE[-l]tcabi' (G). Nearly opposite the mouth of McDonald
Cr. It was named for the large rock beneath which it stood.
21. tco[-l]Attcik'At, "graveyard on" (G). A large village on
the western side of the river a few hundred yards downstream from
the mouth of djoñkot.
[The stream that Goddard calls djoñkot seems to be the one
that appears on the modern maps as Cinch Cr.; that is the only one
in the vicinity. On his map it is shown entering the Eel about
a mile downstream from the mouth of Bell Springs Cr. but it is
actually a tributary of Bell Springs Cr., joining that stream a
scant hundred yards from its mouth. On the assumption that Cinch
Cr. is, in fact, the stream that Goddard meant to indicate I have
moved the village about a mile to the S.]
22. sa'kAntE[-l]dAñ, "beaver valley place" (G). About midway
between the mouth of Blue Rock Cr. and Bell Springs Cr. on a fine
large flat.

mi. downstream from the point where the river turns toward the W at
Horseshoe Bend.

W of the mouth of Copper Mine Cr. (Tunnel Cr.).

of the mouth of Copper Mine Cr. (Tunnel Cr.).
29. taht-aht (M). On the E side of the Eel R. at Horseshoe
Bend and opposite s[)e]-tah´-be. It was a big town (Tip).

was a graveyard about 1/4 mi. N of the village and just beyond the
graveyard was Copper Mine Cr.
