26. sestcicbandûñ (G). On the right bank of South Fork on a
narrow bench between the hill and that stream. There is an eddy
in the river just above, which furnished good fishing, and many
oaks are on the hills. The site received plenty of sun because the
river flows W at this point. Four pits were seen. Also given as
sûstc[=i]cb[=i], "rough like a rasp."
ses-che´-is-ke (M). See Place Names.
27. sebûggûnna', "rock around" (G). On the right side and
close to South Fork just downstream from a rocky point around which
the river changes its direction from S to NW. Fourteen or fifteen
pits could be distinguished, most of them quite distinct.
s[=a]-bug´-gah-nah´ (M). See Place Names.
28. sek[=o]ntc[=o]bandûñ (G). On the left side of South Fork
nearly opposite sebûggûnna'. The sandy bench is covered with
brakes. Five pits were made out. Charlie lived here for four
years after he came back from the reservation. Also mentioned as
tañaib[=i].
29. s[=o]ldek[=o]k bûkk[=i]'d[=u]ñ (G). On a small flat
covered with large redwood timber on the N side of South Fork and
on the W side of Elk Creek (s[=o]ldek[=o]k), which flows into it
from the N. Seven pits were counted along the banks of the river
and the creek.
s[=o]l´-te-che (M). See Place Names.

are three pits between the county road and the river. Also called
sentelduñ.

31. ca'nak[=i]', "creek trail" (G). On the W bank of South
Fork 100 yds. N of the mouth of Salmon Cr., in large redwoods.
The river has washed the soil away so no evidence of occupation
remains. Willow brush is now growing there. Also called
natonank[=o]k bûttc[=i]'dûñ.
sah-nah´-k[=o]k (M). Name for Salmon Cr. See Place Names.
32. tc[=i]stc[=i]bi' (G). On the E bank of South Fork opposite
the mouth of Salmon Cr. It is on the end of a ridge. Charlie had a
ne'y[=i]k' here after returning from the reservation (village site
not visited). This village was mentioned by Sam as his birthplace.
His mother may have been from here. Also referred to by Charlie as
canak[=i]' and tcûstc[=e]k[=o]ok.
33. nant'[=o]' (G). On the N side of Salmon Cr. in a bend.
Large redwoods fill the valley of the creek as well as the
particular site of this village. Five deep, distinct pits were
seen. There are said to be one or two on the south side of the
creek.
34. k[=o]nte[-l]b[=i], "flat in" (G). On a large flat, through
which Salmon Cr. flows. The village was on the N side of the creek
near where Tomlinson's barn now stands. There is a spring there
near a pepperwood tree. This flat is now in peach orchard.
