Sometimes these rooms are enlarged by adding a low extension to tlie house, the floor of which is elevated as high as the platform. In the center of such rooms there is a small fire- place. The plans of the houses of the separate gentes show slight differ- ences. In some instances the heavy beams (H) rest on the uprights (U), the cross- piece (G) being wanting (fig. 9). In other instances there is only a single timber resting on the crossi)iece (Gr). When festivals are celebrated, all the parti- tions, seats, and tires are removed, and one large tire is built in the center of the house. For such occasions the floor is carefully leveled and swept. Each liouse has its name, as will be seen from the view of the village of Xumta'sp«l (fig. -JO, p. 391), in which the names of four of the houses are given. In front of the village the bight Okuiua'Le is seen, bounded by the narrow point La'sota, on which the natives grow some potatoes in a small inclosure. Behind. Fig. 9.
