Goddard mentions two villages as being on the ocean N of the mouth of Bear R. -- [-l]'adAlk'AsdAñ and goldElco'dAñ. He gives the word tc'alko as the word for Bear R. In Nomland's personal copy of Goddard's paper (1929) she has written the word "tchankok" as the word for Bear R. She gives the following explanation of the discrepancy (1938, p. 92): "In checking words given by Goddard with my Bear River informant, Nora Coonskin, it developed that most of his information (gotten from Nora's uncle, Peter) was not in accordance with hers. Upon close questioning, the latter told me that her uncle preferred to speak Mattole. I checked Peter's words with Isaac Duncan, my Mattole informant, and found this to be true." 2. s[=a]-cho-tung (s[)e]-cho´-tah) (M). On the ocean on the S side of the mouth of Bear R. setcodAñ, "rock big" (G). By the lighthouse, a populous place. The present-day lighthouse stands about 2 mi.

ETHNOGRAPHIC NOTES At low tide in the spring the Bear River people waded out to lighthouse rock to gather the eggs of seabirds--gulls, shags, and others. They would climb up a sort of stairs in the steep rock, wrap the eggs in buckskin, and let them down with long ropes. The illustration (fig. 1, _c_) is of an old woman, about ninety years old, from Bear River, sketched in the fall of 1921. WHILKUT
