[Vol. 19 PREFACE The following texts were obtained in the spring and summer of 1918 at Alexander Valley, Sonoma County, California, and represent approxi- mately one-half of the material secured. The two Wappo informants were Jim Tripo and Joe McCloud. The former was an individual of about 60 or 65 years. He had spent most of his life among his people with the exception of a ten year sojourn among the Lower Lake Pomo. He was a very remarkable raconteur as the myths told by him amply attest. Joe McCloud is a man of about 65 who was born and brought up among one of the subdivisions of the Wappo near Napa. His mother tongue he claimed varied somewhat in vocabulary from that spoken at Alexander Valley. In his early youth he spoke a good deal of Spanish. He is married to an Alexander Valley Wappo and has been living at Alexander Valley for over thirty years. He is a rather poor raconteur, but possesses remarkable linguistic ability. All the translations were made by him. The first eight myths- were told by McCloud and the last three by Tripo. The six Spanish myths probably represent recent borrowings, for McCloud was accustomed to tell them both in Wappo and Spanish. McCloud in all likelihood heard them when he was young and subse- quently translated them into Wappo. He has been telling them in Wappo for many years, however, ever since his children were old enough to listen to myths. A discussion of the mythology will follow after the second series of texts and the grammar have been published. No attempt has been made to normalize the text except in the case of the palatized t, the glottal catch preceding many consonants especially when initial, and the occasional occurrence of whispered vowels. The phonetics of myths 2-11 are to be preferred to those of the first. For a discussion of the variations in certain sounds, organic and inorganic glottal catch, etc., cf. my Wappo grammar to appear in this series. 1924] 1 ]adin: Wappo Texts 3 TABLE OF SOUNDS .a, e, i, o, u have their continental values; intermediate in length and close.

This glottalization varies markedly even s', c', tc', ts' with the same individual, sometimes being very strong, at other times weak, and occasionally even disappearing entirely. after vowel or consonant denotes length. A slight glottal catch was very frequently heard before all initial and terminal long stops and before initial and terminal 1, giving them the quality of "arrested" sounds. glottal catch. This is frequently organic after vowels, but there is also a marked tendency to have all unaspirated terminal vowels end in an inorganic glottal catch. aspiration. This is always organic for vowels. r, g only in Spanish words. 4 University of California Publications in Am. Arch. and Ethn. -[Vol. 19 MYTHS OF SPANISH ORIGIN 1.
