removed some object from the medicine tray; Loliilomai gave the 

 woman something to drink from two bowls. Shokhunyoma went out 

 with something which could not be identified, owing to darkness in 

 the kiva. 



' ' Lolulomai now sprinkled all the bahos at the altar from the medi 

 cine tray. Every man took a little water in his mouth from the med- 

 icine tray, and a small piece of the clay which was lying beside the 

 tray, and went home to rub a little of the clay, which he moistened with 

 the water from his mouth, on the back and breast of the members of 

 their families " to make them strong." Koyonainiwa went into all the 

 kivas and asperged (from his tray, I think). In all the kivas Soyal 

 bahos were being made except in the Sakwalanvi where, as has 

 been noted elsewhere, the opposition took place in 1897. Outside 

 of the Ponivi ^wa. iowx Kwakwantus were sitting with their monkohos 

 in hand and watching that no uninitiated enter the kiva. In the 

 Hawioun kiva were noticed a number of male and female Qdoqdqlom 

 Katcina masks (see Pis. XXVI and XXVII), ready for use on the ninth 

 day, when these Katcinas dance. When the Ponivi was again entered 

 some men were smoking at the fireplace. Koyonainiwa put off his par- 

 aphernalia as soon as he had made a round of the kiva and then, after 

 smoking, went out with a pail of water and washed off his paint 

 marks. 'Outside a good deal of running and jingling of bells was 

 going on. The kiva was swept, some smoked and Lolulomai painted 

 himself in the same manner as the four messengers had been painted 

 and put on his ceremonial kilt and sash in the southeast corner of the 

 kiva. Some went out." 



Eighth Day, Continued (Night Ceremony). 



At about 10:30 p. M. the floor was swept and some went outside. 

 Talahoyoma dressed himself in the southeast corner of the kiva; also 

 tried what seemed to be a whistle ; Lolulomai assisted and 

 directed him. 



At about 10:45 p. M. Tob<Shoyoma took the two toktvis, went 

 around the ladder to Koyonainiwa and then back, and sprinkled a meal 

 line from Talaskwaptiwa (who was sitting somewhat west of the large 

 altar) to the west of the fireplace; thence another line towards the 

 east of the fireplace; put one of the wooden tokzvis2X each end of this 

 short meal line and then sprinkled another line across the kiva diag- 

 onally to the place of starting. The women then took their places, 

 the same as in the afternoon. Talassyamtiwa handed a cigarette to 

 Talaskwaptiwa (in 1894 to Shokhunyoma), one to Koyonainiwa and 

 another, with a live ember, he took outside to the watchers. A num-
