The islands of Titicaca and Koati, illustrated . >« •- X ?~ .5 9 k < C a1 ?J « ii c3 <n CQ <a PM C5 THE RUINS ON THE ISLAND OF KOATI ?-a^m^y ci\ 3 ?^y^^Y^o^^^. Plate LXI Casket of audesite Tvith cover which contained ancient poncho (see text)from the vicinity of Muro-Kato O/- Pakt VTHE RUINS ON THE ISLAND OF KOATI AND A GLANCE AT ANTIQUITIES OF COPACAVANA THE longitudinal axes of Titicaca and Koati are ap-proximately parallel, and there are analogies betweenthe two Islands that bear upon the distribution of aborigi-nal establishments on their surface. The northwesternextremity of each Island is narrow and rocky, especiallythat of Koati. Uila-Peki, the Bed Head of Koati (seemap of the Island, /), is a sheer cliff of red sandstone, and,seen from the Lake, it is very conspicuous.^ On the south-eastern end of Koati there are cliffs also but they are notas striking as the bold promontory in the northwest. Thetwo main groups of Inca ruins, still extant on Koati, arefound at liiak-Uyu (house of women) on the northern slope,and on the crest called ^Red Head. The former ruin (a)recalls, in situation, the Pilco-Kayma on Titicaca; the other(b) Kasapata
