Local Note
Found with Curtin's Karok myths, which had formerly been catalogued as Wintun myths recorded by Powell; therefore these notes had also formerly been assumed to be Wintun, and are incorrectly listed in Harvey Pitkin's Wintun bibliography, International Journal of Linguistics, Volume 28, Number 1, 1962, page 45, item 12.
