This is preeminently the work of a scientific observer and must 

 always remain the standard account of the Walpi ceremonies. Dr. 

 Fewkes' account is based on the performances of i8gi and 1893. 

 He was present during the entire nine days on both years, had the 

 complete confidence of the priests, and had the aid of trained and 

 faithful assistants, so essential for the complete observance of two 

 ceremonies performed simultaneously. The work shows untiring 

 labor in the observation of the ceremonies and great care in the 

 description. Not the least valuable portion of the account is the 

 Snake legend by Stephens and its interpretation, together with an 

 inquiry into the origin and meaning of the entire ceremony by Dr. 

 Fewkes,

This extremely valuable paper of Dr. Fewkes' is the result of 

 extended studies made during the summer of 1896, and contains more 

 or less complete descriptions of the important events of the cere- 

 monies of Shipaulovi, Shongopavi and Oraibi, together with twelve 

 full-page illustrations, among, which are drawings of the Antelope 

 altars of the three villages just mentioned. At the close of the paper 

 is a bibliography of twenty-five titles, being those which had appeared 

 since the date of the appearance of Dr. Fewkes' paper on the Walpi 

 Dance of 1894.
