On the fourth and last day others whose names were not recorded 

 are present. On the morning of this day a ring of corn-meal is strewn 

 around the kiva; the natsi or emblem of the Marau Society is first 

 smoked upon and then put up (see Plate IV, a). This consists of several 

 bunches of kelehoya, (sparrow hawk, falco sparverius) feathers which 

 are tied by short, twisted, cotton strings to several sticks which are 

 about eight inches long, and which is thrust with the pointed end into 

 a roll of dry grass that lies at the south and of the hatch- way. Every 

 priestess wears in her hair two short feathers of this same bird, which 

 are tied together at the quill ends, and fastened to the hair on top of 

 the head.
