eye should behold it. This day is a day for public performances and 

 really belongs to the people. The connection between the Marau 

 ceremony and the performances of this day seems to be somewhat 

 obscure, as far as I have been able to learn. It may be, that certain 

 prayer offerings, made on the eighth day, are deposited by the parti- 

 cipants in the ceremony early this morning or handed to the Katcinas 

 that appear on this day. This point, however, needs further in- 

 vestigations. In the Summer Marau ceremony this connection be- 

 tween the ninth and the preceding days is much more apparent, as 

 will be described in the second part of this paper. On this day of 

 the winter ceremony a series of Katcina dances takes place on the 

 public plaza, viewed by the inhabitants of the village and visitors 

 from other villages. But while on the previous evening many different 

 Katcinas appeared, only one kind dances on this day, performing about 

 eight dances during the day. On one occasion it was the Hopi Anga- 

 Katcina, one of the different kinds of the Anga- (Loose-Hair) Katcina 

 (see Plate XI). The name is derived from the fact that the Katcinas 

 wear their hair loose, hanging down the back. The mask, a face mask 

 only, is painted green with a border below, the decoration of which 

 varies in the different kinds of this Katcina. To the border is attached 

 a long, black beard. The body decoration, the objects held in the 

 hands, etc., also vary in the different kinds of Anga-Katcinas. In 

 the case of the Hopi Anga-Katcina the border is divided into small 

 squares painted in different colors. The body is also decorated in 

 different colors, and unlike other Anga-Katcinas, this one wears mocas- 

 sins. In the ceremony of 1901 the Balhikv-Mana danced on this day. 

 This personage was introduced in Oraibi from Mishongnovi where the 

 women occasionally appear as Balhikv-Manas in a dance, but without 

 masks (see Plate XII). The name is derived from bahu-(water) 

 hikwani (drink), and mana (maiden), because the dancers drink a 

 certain liquid on these occasions. The typical feature is a large head 

 tablet similar to those worn by the Shaalakos. They also wear the 

 atoe, white ceremonial blanket. In the other villages, however, these 

 Manas appear as Katcinas, i. e., as men, wearing masks and Katcina 

 costume. And it was these Katcinas that appeared and performed 

 dances on this da v.
