rear of the kiva, which later was to hold the corn and bean plants 

 and a medicine bowl, together with an aspergil {makwanpi). Nam- 

 urztiwa began the red lightning symbol. Shakhungwa continued the 

 white field surrounding the white lightning symbol and carried it to 

 the west to the next lightning symbol. Namurztiwa finished the red 

 lightning symbol and began the red band of the north, when he dis- 

 covered that he had overlooked a detail in his lightning symbol and 

 returned to it, putting on its horns. Sikangpu then took up the 

 north white band and Namurztiwa the west red band, while Shak- 

 hungwa began outlining with a fine black line here and there, begin- 

 ning between the red and green and the red and yellow on the north- 

 east corner. Sikanakpu then began on the second green cloud sym- 

 bol, while Namurztiwa worked on the southern red cloud symbol. 

 Shakhungwa continued with the black dividing line, working now on 

 the corner between the white and red bands. Sikanakpu began his 

 third green cloud symbol and Namurztiwa took up the east red band. 

 Shukhungwa continued the black line now outlining the first yellow 

 cloud symbol. 



For several minutes previous Polihungwa had desisted from his 

 baho making and stood by watching the three priests making the 

 mosaic, commenting upon the work from time to time with them. 

 Namurztiwa now began the green lightning symbo4. Shakhungwa 

 continued with his fine black line, now dividing the green from the 

 red cloud symbols; next outlining the east white cloud, then the second 

 and third yellow clouds, and the fourth and fifth green clouds. He then 

 began with the black line to divide the field and the yellow band on 

 the west, finished the outlining of the fourth yellow cloud and then 

 put in the line separating the north white and red bands. Sikangpu 

 then joined in the work and finished the white field and made it more 

 perfect to the east of the white lightning symbol. Namurztiwa fin- 

 ished filling in the fifth green cloud and began the west green band. 

 .Sikanakpu now worked awhile on the north green band, finishing 

 it to half its extent, and then worked on the east green band, which 

 he finished and then continued the north green band, while Sikangpu 

 filled in with white the field between the red and green cloud symbols. 

 Then Sikanakpu began the west green band. Shakhungwa in the 

 meantime continued his boundary lines, now working between the 

 north white and red bands and then between the red and green, and 

 then starting toward the south on the west side, and, returning to the 

 north, surrounded the white band. He now laid down his black paint 

 ' and completed the fifth white cloud symbol and filled in the remain- 

 ing space of the white field between the red and green. Sikangpu
