hich cross over the back, and
the rump grooved to receive the cord with which to secure to the back an
arrow-point. The breast is perforated.

Plate VIII, Fig. 4, is a nearly natural fragment of compact white
limestone, representing the white Eagle (K'iae[']-k'iae-li k'o-ha-na), of
the Eastern skies. No artificial details, save the eyes, which are
faintly indicated, have been attempted on this specimen.

Plate VIII, Fig. 5, represents, in compact yellow limestone, the
speckled Eagle (K'iae[']-k'iae-li su-tchu-tchon-ne) of the Upper regions,
the drab color of the body being varied by fragments of pure turkois
inserted into the eyes, breast, and back. A notch in the top and front
of the head probably indicates that the specimen was once supplied with
a beak, either of turkois or of white shell. It is perforated lengthwise
through the breast.

Plate VIII, Fig. 6, is a representation of a thoroughly typical
conventional fetich of the black Eagle (K'iae[']-k'iae-li kwin-ne) of the
Lower regions. It is of calcite, stained lustrous black. A cotton cord
around the neck supplies the place of the original "necklace."

THE MOLE--HUNTER GOD OF THE LOWER REGIONS.

The fetiches of the Mole, or God of the Lower regions (K'iae[']-lu-tsi
we-ma-we, in the sacred orders; Mai-tu-pu we-ma-we, in the order of the
Hunt), are represented in the collection by only two specimens, Plate
II, Fig. 6, and Plate IX, Fig. 1. The figure of a third specimen, taken
from one of my sketches of the original in Zuni, is given on Plate III,
Fig. 5.

These fetiches being unpopular, because considered less powerful than
those of the larger gods of prey, are very rare, and are either rude
concretions with no definite form (Plate II, Fig. 6), or almost equally
rude examples of art, as in Plate IX, Fig. 1, which represents the
fetich of the white Mole (Mai-tu-pu ko-ha-na) of the Eastern Lower
regions. It consists merely of a natural slab of fine white limestone.

Nevertheless, value is sometimes attached to the Mole, from the fact
that it is able by burrowing to lay traps for the largest game of earth,
which it is supposed to do consciously. For this reason it is sometimes
represented with surprising fidelity, as in Plate III, Fig. 5.

THE GROUND OWL AND THE FALCON.

The fetiches of the Ground Owl (the Prairie Dog
variety--Thla-po-po-ke'-a' we-ma-we) of all regions, are still more
rarely represented and even less prized than those of the Mole. The only
