[33] The entry for the 27th day (17 Oct.) is missing. However it is clear that on the 28th day the scouts reached the great oak forest along the Kaweah delta at or above Visalia. To this area the main party moved on the 29th day (19 October). The water evidently was very low--somewhat unusual for this region, even in October. The large village of 600 souls, at which 22 persons were baptized was Telame, according to the statements under dates 19, 21, and 23 October, and also the description in the village list. These are the Telamni of the ethnographers, and are repeatedly mentioned by the early explorers. [34] The tremendous aboriginal population of the lower Kaweah drainage is attested by several lines of evidence. It probably reached a much higher figure than the 3,000 mentioned by Muñoz. [35] The Tule R. [36] After a winding course for two days, the party camped on the Tule R. near the foothills, probably not far from Porterville. [37] Probably Deer Cr. [38] Probably White R. [39] No distances are given, but from the description the most likely stream is Poso Cr. [40] The Kern R., probably some miles above Bakersfield. A "long trip" downstream would have brought them into the slough country south of Bakersfield. From the entire absence of any mention of Buenavista L. farther to the west it is clear that Moraga did not get within sight of it. [41] Grapevine Canyon. As Muñoz predicted, Father Zalvidea left an account of the villages in this area (see his report for the expedition of Aug., 1806). [42] On the last three days the party left the valley by way of Grapevine Canyon, over Tejon Pass, across the Tehachapi Mts. (Cutter says the Santa Susanna Range) to San Fernando Mission. [43] Olivera may be thinking of Moraga's expedition of 1808, which went north into the Sacramento V. [44] No recorded expedition remained in the field for any such length of time. [45] Here the reference is clearly to the 1806 expedition. [46] This expedition of 1807 is otherwise unrecorded. [47] Possibly the entrance to the Gorge of the Kern R., east of Bakersfield. [48] The abundance of wild horses and cattle testifies to the early date at which these animals escaped from the range country of the coast and overran the plains of the valley. The effect on native economy and living habits was very great. CHAPTER IV (pp. 256-257) [1] Cutter (MS, p. 143) places this expedition in approximately 1808 and cites evidence to support the presumption. [2] A former Chumash village in the valley of Calleguas Cr., north of the Santa Susanna Mts. [3] According to Cutter, Muscupian was the same as Moscopiabit of Zalvidea, in the vicinity of Cajon Pass. Mavialla may have been as far east as the San Bernardino Mts. [4] Referring to some incident not recorded in the official documents. [5] Cutter (MS, p. 146) says that this was Antelope V. I see no reason to disagree with him.
