(east) and by Wafford (west), and is a common tradition throughout
the tribe. The name ustû'tli refers to the sole of the foot, and was
given to the serpent on account of its peculiar feet or "suckers." The
same name is given to the common hoop-snake of the south (Abastor
erythrogrammus), about which such wonderful tales are told by the
white mountaineers. Cohutta (Gahû'ti) mountain, in Murray county,
Georgia, was also the traditional haunt of the Uktena (see number 51,
"Âgan-Uni'tsi's search for the Uktena," and compare also number 55,
"The Uw`tsûñ'ta.")
