Figures ofKo-ko-pel-i can be seen on consultation with the black face with a median white line, a ring with two diameters on the side ofthe head, the hump back and a phallic feature which needs not be described here arefound in all these examples. The four quadrants of the ring on the side of the head3) inone Ko-ko-pel-i are colored yellow, green, red, and white, following a circuit opposite themotion of the hands of a watch. These colors correspond with N, W, S, E, or the cere-monial circuit. Kwa-hus-alek-to-ka. PI. VII Fig. eagle-tailed figurine has a green face with black eyes. The mouth is represented. Ko-ho-ni-no Ka-tci-na(depicted on tile). M A figure of this Ka-tci-na taken form a slab is introduced in the plates. (PI. X Fig. 36). We knowcomparatively nothing of the ceremonies or the mythology of these Indians which fact imparts a greatinterest to this unique specimen. The Kohonino Indians form a small tribe, related to the Pueblos, but do•not build houses. They dwell in and about the Grand Canon of the Colorado and have more or less com-munication with the Hopi. They have been visited and studied by Stephen, Cushing and others andoffer a most interesting problem, either in arrested pueblo development or degeneration. Their true relation-ships are yet to be made out as very little is known of their folk-lore, language, ceremonials or customs. ;) I have examined specimens of ladles, the handles of which are made in imitation of Ta-tcuk-ti,Ko-ko-pel-i and different Ka-tci-nas. The two former may be readily recognized, by comparisons with myfigures
