[99] The ground squirrel and Point Reyes mountain beaver have been variously identified as Fletcher's "conies." See Wagner, _Drake's Voyage_, p. 492-493, n. 42. [100] See photograph in McAdie, "Nova Albion--1579," fig. 1. [101] Kelly, "Coast Miwok Ethnography." [102] Kroeber, _Handbook_, p. 277. [103] These "burnt offerings" are ascribed to the Trinidad Bay Yurok by Wagner (_Drake's Voyage_, p. 157), but there is no need to look so far afield for parallels when the Coast Miwok-Pomo area fits the case so well. [104] Memorial ceremonies for the dead are a characteristic feature of central California culture; see Loeb, _The Western Kuksu Cult_, p. 117 (Coast Miwok). [105] Heizer and Elmendorf, "Francis Drake's California Anchorage." [106] For evidence of this, using the words on Drake's plate of brass, see Allen Chickering, "Some Notes with Regard to Drake's Plate of Brass" and "Further Notes on the Drake Plate." [107] Powers, _Tribes of California_, p. 171. Cf. the Huchnom song facing p. 144. [108] Loeb, _The Western Kuksu Cult_, pp. 103, 127, 128. [109] Loeb, _Pomo Folkways_, pp. 374, 392, 393. See also Barrett, _Ceremonies_, pp. 409, 413. [110] Because of the high degree of similarity between all phases of Pomo and Coast Miwok ceremonies, a close correspondence, or even identity, in the songs connected with these ceremonies may safely be assumed.

Kroeber, _Culture Element Distributions, XV: Salt, Dogs, Tobacco_, Univ. Calif. Anthro. Rec., Vol. VI, No. 1 (Berkeley, 1941), pp. 6 ff., map 5. [117] Kelly, "Coast Miwok Ethnography." [118] Powers, _Tribes of California_, p. 200. [119] Kelly's informant did say that "before steamers used to travel along the coast" certain occurrences in connection with this belief in the land of the dead took place. This may be a memory of an incident which once was more specifically remembered. At best, however, it is improbable that there would be any tradition of Drake's visit per se. [120] Such incidents are not uncommon in California. Note, for example, the legendary significance of Mount Diablo to the Indian tribes of central California.
