Willow Cr.--dabActci'Añkot, slAsyañkot (G). The latter was used occasionally for the stream. Wilson Cr.--dat'olkot (G). ETHNOZOÖLOGY AND ETHNOBOTANY The following notes are from Merriam's records. Badger is called ye-ku-gus-cho, "he pulls into his hole." The Steller Crested Jay is called chi-cho, while the California Jay is chi-che. In speaking of related species the Indians often indicate the larger by the suffix _cho_, the smaller by _che_. The Owl is called bis-chil-lo-che if it is small, the Great Grey Owl is bis-chil-lo-cho. The Crow is kah-chan-che, the Raven is kah-chan-cho. The Meadow Lark sings in the daytime; the Yellow-breasted Chit sings at night. The Bluebird is a dangerous bird. If a person throws a stone at it, he should shout first to attract its attention, otherwise it will throw a pain to him. The Junco is a great rustler, always busy hunting for food. The Chewink, or Towhee, called Nahl-tse, was instrumental in procuring the first fire. In the very early days his parents threw him out. He located the fire and Coyote-man went and got it. The Kildeer Plover is called nah-til yah-che, "necklace wearing." The Toad is Rough Frog. The Cicada is used as a remedy for headache. The live insect is pushed up into the nose, where, by kicking around, it makes the nose bleed, thus curing the headache. The Dragonfly feeds rattlesnakes. Oak galls, called kim-mos, are excellent for sore eyes, and also for suppression of urine in children. For weak eyes, the fresh juice of a green gall is dropped into the eye. (It is astringent and an excellent remedy and is a common eye drop among many California tribes.) Oak mistletoe is used as a medicinal tea, also as a head-wash, and sometimes for bathing the entire body. The thick creamy juice of the milkweed is called "snake milk." ETHNOGRAPHY Each tribelet had its own chief and its own hunting, fishing, acorn, and seed grounds. In winter the families of each band were scattered along the river in small rancherias, each consisting of from four to seven families, mostly blood relations, living together in two or three houses. Usually there were seven or eight people in each house. The winter houses were of split pine slabs, standing upright or sloping in at the top to form a conical house (pl. 11, _a_). People dying at home were buried. Those dying at a distance were burned (cremated) and their burned bones were wrapped in buckskin, carried home in a pack-basket, and then buried. PITCH WAILAKI
