Some- times a large and small ciga- rette or two of equal size are tied together, conveying some idea of the worshiper. (Figs. 234-236.) At other times three and four are bound together (figs. 237, 238), and in one specimen from a cave near Phoenix, Arizona, four of these cigarettes are bound together with cotton cord and held securely by a coarse wrapping be- tween the pairs of tubes.
