CHIN LEE CLIFF HOUSES

Along southern tributaries of Chin Lee Valley there are instructive

cliff houses that have escaped the attention of archeologists. Judging

from his map, some of these may have been visited by Dr. Prudden for

he gives a figure of one of the two cliff ruins (pl. 2, fig. _a_), in

the Chin Lee, about 40 miles from Chin Lee postoffice. Their state

of preservation and the character of their sites may be judged from

the accompanying illustrations. These ruins were not visited, the

photographs (pl. 2, figs. _a–c_) having been presented by a Navaho

Indian, George H. Hoater, who made the pictures but did not know the

name of the ruin or of the canyon. There are other ruins in the Chin

Lee canyons, of which information is quite meager.
