Abstract
This source is divided into three primary sections, the first of which deals briefly with a general description of the area, its inhabitants, culture, history, and the Indians as they existed. Section two deals almost exclusively with the Pomo language and its relationship to the language of neighboring tribes. In section three, the author breaks up the Pomo nation into dialectical subdivisions (i.e., northern, central, eastern, southeastern, southern, southwestern, and northeastern areas), and then treats each of these in turn with regard to its geographic boundaries, and the names of the village sites, both ancient and modern, contained therein. Each of these sites is given in terms of its original Indian name, and, when possible, as to its meaning. This section actually comprises the bulk of the entire source.
