The same individual on the afternoon of this day was painted as 

 follows: His whole body (see PI. LX., Fig. b) was painted yellow. 

 On his breast was a large black sun symbol and on the back of his right 

 shoulder was a large black moon symbol. His face was painted 

 red, surrounded by a black line. Beneath each eye was a forked 

 zigzag lightning symbol. Black bands encircled his wrists and ankles, 

 and straight black lines were drawn upon his outer, upper, and lower 

 arms. Scattered irregularly over his body, both front and back, were 

 marks made by striking his body with willow leaves dipped in red 

 paint. The remaining paints of this dancer were regular. 



Another individual for the second paint of the first day had the 

 whole surface of his body, including his face, painted yellow. (See 

 PI. LXL, Fig. a.) Over this were the imprints of willow leaves in 

 white. On his breast and back were the black sun and moon symbols 

 respectively. Black bands encircled his wrists and ankles. Upon his 

 upper and lower arms were two carefully made and realistic symbols 

 of buflEalo hoofs. Abouthisface was a black encircling line, and under 

 his eyes were forked zigzag lightning symbols. 



This same individual wore this same paint as the first on the second 

 day, except that he had a red line around his face, red bands on his 

 wrists and ankles, and a large sun and moon symbol on his right 

 breast and back of the left shoulder respectively. 



PAINTS WORN BY THE ARAPAHO. 



The presence of the two Arapaho in the ceremony has already 

 been noted. A description of their paints is here given; it was not 

 found possible to obtain an explanation for them. 



For the first paint (see PI. LXL, Fig. b) of the first day the whole 

 body was painted red. Around the face, wrists, and ankles was a 

 band of black. On the center of the breast and at the back of the 

 right shoulder was a black sun and moon symbol respectively. On 

 the nose was a black dot. 



For the second paint of the two Arapaho on the first day (see 

 PI. LXIL, Fig. a) the entire body, including the face, was painted a 

 dull deep red; on the nose was a black dot. About the face, wrists, 

 and ankles were black lines. On the breast was a black sun symbol. 

 Just above and on each side of this were two realistic symbols of pipes 

 in black. On the back of each shoulder was a smaller symbol of a pipe 

 in black. Under the pipe symbol on the right shoulder was the cres- 

 cent-shaped moon symbol. 



The first and second paints of the two Arapaho on the second day 

 were almost the same. At both times the entire body was painted
