19. [-l][=o]lûñk[=o]k y[=i]bañ (G). On the E bank of South
Fork opposite and N of the mouth of Bull Cr. Two pits were seen
directly across from Bull Cr. and 2 about 100 yds. downstream. They
are in heavy redwood timber, but receive a good deal of sun because
they are close to the river, which flows NW at this point.
20. s[=o]snoibûndûñ (G). On the E bank of South Fork about a
mile S of the mouth of Bull Cr. Five pits were counted in small
redwood timber, where there is a spring which supplied the village.
There used to be a yitco' here, in which Charlie remembered dancing
when he was a small boy.
21. nûnsûntc[=o]tc[=i]', "butte large mouth" (G). On both
sides of the mouth of Brush Cr. (Canoe Cr.) in large redwood
timber. On the N side are 6 pits, 5 of them in a row back about 30
yds. There are seven pits on the S side of the creek, some of them
much plainer than others. The father of Albert's wife, Sally, came
from this village.
nahn´-sin-cho´-ke (M). See Place Names.
22. sedj[=o]cb[=i]' (G). On the E bank of South Fork, which
flows toward the W at this point. A stream from the E (Feese Cr.)
flows in a little above the village. There are many tanbark oaks
growing near by, which Charlie suggested were the reason for the
village's being located here. Seven pits could be distinguished;
the clearing away of timber may have obscured some others. The name
setc[=o]sdiñ was also given by Charlie. Tc[=o]s means vagina, "what
woman has."
s[=a]-ch[=o]s-te (M). See Place Names.
23. gûtta'bûndûñ, named from a deep hole in the stream (G). On
the W side of South Fork, where it flows toward the NE just below
Myer's. The site has been completely washed away. Charlie's father
belonged here and Charlie lived here when a boy. Jack, Charlie's
half-brother, was born at this village. There used to be a yitco'
and a large hollow tree in which a family used to spend the winter.
kah-tah´-be (M). See Place Names.
24. tantañaik[=i]' bûndûñ (G). On the E side of South Fork.
A creek, along which are many tanbark oaks, flows into South Fork
on the opposite side and a little above. The name of the creek is
tantañaik[=o]k (Coon Cr.). The site is just below a garden. The
place was so grown up with brakes it was impossible to count the
pits.
25. t[=o]dûnni', "water sings" (G). On the NW corner of Myer's
Flat on the right bank of South Fork, where it completes its course
toward the W and turns toward the NE. The site has been washed
away. There used to be large peppernut trees growing there. A few
are still left. The name of Myer's Flat is kûnteltc[=o]b[=i]. It is
also mentioned as kontelky[=o]b[=i].
ken´-tes-cho´-be (M). See Place Names.
