3. seb[=i]ye, "at base of rock" (G). On the E side of South
Fork at the upper end of the Phillipsville flat. The site has been
plowed and was in fruit and garden when visited. One pit could
still be seen. The river flows nearly W, hence the village has
southern sun. Large redwoods occupy the left bank of the stream. A
deep place here provided fishing.
s[)a]-be-y[)e]´ (M). The flat on the E side of South Fork, S
of Phillipsville. See Place Names.
4. tcingûlge[-l]dûñ (name of a tree) (G). On the right bank
of South Fork just below a turn to the E. Between the road and the
river two pits were seen. There is a schoolhouse on the E side of
the road. Many eels were caught near this village.
chig-gel´-e-yes´-ke (M). A place 1.9 mi. S of Phillipsville.
See Place Names.
5. da[-l]tcimmûndûñ (G). On the right (S) bank of South Fork,
where it flows W around a long ridge sloping down from the E.
Seven pits were counted between the county road and the river,
which may have carried others away. A large creek, seyekok (Rocky
Glen Cr.), empties N of this place. This village was mentioned as
t'altcimmûndûñ by Albert in 1907.

6. tca'lûñk[=i]' (G). On the E bank of South Fork. A small
stream flows down from the E. Three pits were found on the N side
of it and two on the S side. The place had been plowed. Charlie
said there used to be many houses there. This village was given by
Albert as tca'lûntc[=i].
7. da[-l]kaik[=o]k (G). On a flat 50 yds. E of the county
bridge across Buhne Cr. (now called Dean Cr.), along both sides of
the stream. Seven pits were found on the S side of the creek and
two on the N side. The road and plowed fields may have reduced the
number. This village was mentioned by Sam in 1903 as a settlement
of his people.
tahs-ki´-ke (M). Merriam attributes this village to the
to-kub´-be people, who ranged E from here.
8. da[-l]kaik[=i]' (G). On the W side of South Fork, opposite
the mouth of Dean Cr. Albert said there used to be a village there.
This is evidently the village Merriam refers to in the
paragraph above on village 7.
9. [-l]tûggan[=o]b[=i]' (G). On a flat on the E side of South
Fork about 1/4 mi. above the mouth of Redwood Cr. Goddard noted
that the place had a favorable location, but did not find the pits.
Albert said there used to be a village there.
stuk´-kan-no´-be (M). Name for the flat at this place. See
Place Names.
10. k[=o]sc[=i]k[=i] (G). A short way below Garberville,
according to Sam (1903). Charlie said it was named k[=o]ssetc[=i]'
or k[=o]setc[=i]' and that it was just below Garberville on the E
side of the river. There used to be a store there.
