19. turip C P. 235. A "town" lying on a flat. According
to Waterman it was one of two sites but he
could get no information on the second
site because of local hostility. Some
informants said _turip_ itself had 8
houses and 3 sweathouses. On Randall's map
(see Waterman, pp. 205 ff.) there is shown
a town, called _koppa_, on the same flat
as _turip_. This is not likely to be an
error for _saal_, because the latter is
across the river, but is very likely
Waterman's second site. Waterman on p. 206
gives 6 houses for _turip_ but in view of
the second probable village I recommend
increasing this to 8 and thus agree with
Waterman's informants. Kroeber does not
mention this matter.
20. stowen P P. 207. This is a "well known place" with
Indians living there now, although they
are not the descendants of the ancient
population. However Waterman also says, on
p. 235, that "the site is well known and
may have been a settlement in former
times." Furthermore, it is on the survey
map Randall made in 1866. This map appears
to have been accurately drawn and creates
a strong presumption that the village was
in existence in early times. It is
reasonable to assign 3 houses to the site.
