The fourth paint was borne by the four dancers just mentioned 

 (see Plate CXXVI.), and also by T^peish (see Fig. i, Plate 

 CXXVII.). 



The third paint of Tfipeish (see Plate CXXVIII.), not yet 

 described, was in general similar to that of Hin^nnitu on the third 

 day. The body paint of TSpeish, however, was yellow, and the 

 three rows of parallel dots were black. (See Fig. i, Plate CXXIX.) 

 He wore the usual wreath about his head and waist, as well as arm 

 bands and ankle bands of sage. 



It remains, before passing to the next kind of paint, to describe 

 the second paint of Hin^nibe, Hin^nnitu (see Fig. i, Plate CXXII. ), 

 and Bikaanichu, which was also worn by Ddtenin. The body was 

 painted yellow throughout, including the face (see Fig. 2, Plate 

 CXXIX.). Around the wrists and ankles were painted the usual black 

 bands, while on the breast and around the face were drawn circular 

 lines. Over the breast and face were placed the two usual Man-Above 

 symbols. Connecting the circular bands of the wrists and ankles with 

 the circular symbols on the breast were black lines, bounded on each 

 side by black dots. On the back of the left shoulder in two parallel 

 rows of black dots was a crescent-shaped moon symbol. These dots 

 were said to represent the tracks of mice, the intervening line to 

 represent the path of a mouse's tail. 



The third and fourth paint of D^tenin, yet to be described, formed 

 a decided variation from anything seen up to this time. The entire 

 body was yellow. (See Fig. 3, Plate CXXIX.) On the breast and 

 around the wrists and ankles were the usual circular bands in black, 

 radiating up toward the shoulder; down each arm and down the 

 breast, on to within an inch of the ankles, were rudely drawn zigzag 

 lines, terminating just above each wrist and above each ankle. At 

 the termination of the four lines and crossing the lines at the ankles, 

 about two inches above, were drawn crescents in black, the two ends 

 of each crescent terminating in a large circular dot in red. Around 

 the left half of the face was then placed a single line of black dots, 

 while around the right half of the face was a single row of small black 

 crosses. On the forehead, and above the sun symbol on the breast, 

 were two usual Man-Above symbols. On the nose was the black dot 

 or buffalo symbol, and under the two eyes, which were painted red, 

 was the tear symbol. Upon the back of the left shoulder was drawn 

 the crescent-shaped moon symbol. 



No satisfactory account was obtained of this paint. The zigzag 

 lines, however, were said to represent the serpent, while the crescent- 

 shaped lines on the arms and wrists were said to represent half-moons.
