78. srepor C P. 272. Some informants told Waterman that
there were 4 houses and a sweathouse. On
permanency of habitation he has no
information. Kroeber on his map shows the
site as a transitory village (p. 9) but on
p. 113 he mentions Little River "... at
whose mouth stood the Yurok town of
Metskwo (_srepor_)." Merriam also mentions
Matskaw, a "village at mouth of Little
River, on north side ..." Its aboriginal
existence may therefore be taken as at
least highly probable.
