[101] Dr. Charles C. Abbott, _Primitive Industry_, pp. 71, 207, 347,
379, 384, 390, 391. Dr. Abbott's suggestion that the bird's head seen
on several specimens might represent the totem of the Turkey gens of
the Lenape cannot be well founded, if Heckewelder is correct in saying
that their totemic mark was only the foot of the fowl. _Ind. Nations_,
p. 253.

[115] See anté p. 53. Mr. Francis Vincent, in his _History of the State
of Delaware_, p. 36 (Phila., 1870), says of the colored earth of that
locality, that it is "a highly argillaceous loam, interspersed with
large and frequent masses of yellow, ochrey clay, some of which are
remarkable for fineness of texture, not unlike lithomarge, and consists
of white, yellow, red and dark blue clay in detached spots."
The Shawnees applied the same word to Paint Creek, which falls into the
Scioto, close to Chilicothe. They named it _Alamonee sepee_, of which
Paint Creek is a literal rendering. Rev. David Jones, _A Journal of Two
Visits to the West Side of the Ohio in 1772 and 1773_, p. 50.
