Derivation:  From the river and hill of same name in Calaveras County, California; according to Powers the Meewoc name for the river is Wakalumitoh.

The Talatui mentioned by Hale[68] as on the Kassima (Cosunmes) River belong to the above family.  Though this author clearly distinguished the language from any others with which he was acquainted, he nowhere expressed the opinion that it is entitled to family rank or gave it a family name.  Talatui is mentioned as a tribe from which he obtained an incomplete vocabulary.
