s.] [Footnote 152: In dolls of the Corn-maids this germinative symbol is often found made of wood and mounted on an elaborate tablet representing rain-clouds.] [Footnote 153: Many similarities might be mentioned between the terraced figures used in decoration in Old Mexico and in ancient Tusayan pottery, but I will refer to but a single instance, that of the stuccoed walls of Mitla, Oaxaca, and Teotitlan del Valle. Many designs from these ruins are gathered together for comparative purposes by that eminent Mexicanist, Dr E. Seler, in his beautiful memoir on Mitla (_Wandmalereien von Mitla_, plate X). In this plate exact counterparts of many geometric patterns on Sikyatki pottery appear, and even the broken spiral is beautifully represented. There are key patterns and terraced figures in stucco on monuments of Central America identical with the figures on pottery from Sikyatki.] [Footnote 154: This pillar, so conspicuous in all photographs of Walpi, is commonly called the Snake rock.] [Footnote 155: _American Anthropologist_, April, 1892.] [Footnote 156: I failed to find out how the Hopi regard fossils.] [Footnote 157: These objects were eagerly sought by the Hopi women who visited the camps at Awatobi and Sikyatki.] [Footnote 158: The tubular form of pipe was almost universal in the pueblo area, and I have deposited in the National Museum pipes of this kind from several ruins in the Rio Grande valley.] [Footnote 159: _Journal of American Ethnology and Archaeology_, vol. IV, pp. 31, 32, 33.] [Footnote 160: This form of pipe occurs over the whole pueblo area.] [Footnote 161: Ancient cigarette reeds, found in sacrificial caves, have a small fragment of woven fabric tied about them.] [Footnote 162: The so-called "implements of wood" figured by Nordenskioeld ("The Cliff Dwellers of the Mesa Verde," plate XLII) are identical with some of the pahos from Sikyatki, and are undoubtedly prayer-sticks.] [Footnote 163: Primitive Culture, vol. ii, p. 396.] [Footnote 164: Journal of American Ethnology and Archaeology, Vol. _ii_, p. 131.] [Footnote 165: _American Anthropologist_, July, 1892.] [Footnote 166: As stated in former pages, there is some paleographic evidence looking in that direction.] [Footnote 167: _Journal of American Folk-Lore_, vol. V, no. xviii, p. 213.] [Footnote 168: Op. cit., p. 214.] [Footnote 169: They failed to germinate.] APPENDIX The following list introduc
