fully gathered up all of the refuse of the baho-making and the rind of 

 the watermelon which had been left from the feast, and in which he 

 placed a pinch of native tobacco and a pinch of meal and took the 

 entire lot of refuse and deposited it over the edge of the mesa to the 

 northeast of the village, where much rubbish of this sort may be 

 seen, including many of the sandstones which were used in sharpen- 

 ing the points of the sticks for the bahos. 



In addition to the work on the moccasins in the Snake kiva, some 

 of the priests spent considerable time in the afternoon repairing the 

 snake kilts, head dresses and other paraphernalia. 



]3y six o'clock in the evening the Antelope priests were ready for 

 the consecration of the various bahos which had been made during 

 the day. This was done by the chief priest, Naphoiniwa, Sikangpu 

 and Lomawungyai. Each priest lighted a pipe, took up one of the 

 trays of bahos, held it in his hand, smoked into it four times, then 

 passed the pipe with the tray to his neighbor, and so it was passed 

 from one priest to the other. Another tray would be taken up in the 

 same manner. The position generally assumed in this consecration 

 was a sitting posture, with the knees drawn up to the chin. Occa- 

 sionally, however, after the priest had smoked over the baho four 

 times in this manner, he would place the tray in front of him and 

 replace it on the floor of i:he kiva, and kneeling over it, stooping far 

 forward, would blow the smoke upon the bahos. 



EicH'iH Day (Totokya, Food Providing), August 20. 



On approaching the summit of the mesa this morning at about 

 half-past three o'clock was heard the voice of the crier as he made an 

 announcement from the top of his house, which was followed by others 

 at short intervals. 



The first announcement is as follows: 



Pangkake uma sinomu tataiya; hak hihta chokaashnika naashash- 

 tani. Pai hahlaikahkango, cukaokahkango. 



[You people over there, awake! Whoever has any painting up 

 to do, do it happily, courageously.] 



He then retires to the kiva and soOn announces: 



Pangkake uma chochokaashiyani. Pai hahlaikahkango, cukao- 

 kahkango. 



[You over there, paint yourself up, happily, bravely.] 



Again, a little later: 



Pangkake uma yuyahiotani. Hahlaikuhkango, cukaokahkango. 



[Array yourself, gladly, bravely.]
