honors, her place beinjij supplied by a Gaballero or Cahallo. The marks 

 are similar to those of Italy, bat the Spanish designs differ from the 

 former, as do the ligures on the coat-cards. While the Italian kings 

 are seated, the Spanish kings are erect, and their vast mantles are 

 surcharged with large ornaments, as in the case of the French kings. 

 The swords are straight, double-edged rai^iers; tlie batons, knotty 

 branches of trees, and these knotty branches are placed sometimes 

 horizontally, sometimes vertically, close to each other, but always so 

 arranged that they are never interlaced in the manner common to the 

 numeral-cards of the Italian Tarots.

Capt. John G. Bourke informed me that the Apache have borrowed 

 many of the words relating to playing-cards, as well as the cards them- 

 selves, from the Mexicans. The four suits they call Cojyas, Uscudos, 

 Espadas^ and Bastones or Falos. The names of Bey and Sota are the 

 same as in Spanish, but the Gaballo is JUv or "Horse." The Ace they 

 call As., but for the other numerals native names are used: Naqui, 2; 

 Taqui, 3; Tingui, 4; Irosh May, 5; Cusfan, 6- Cnsetti, 7. "ShufHe" 

 is jli -hi- shi-ache. Captain Bourke says: "I think tliis means ' I take 

 or hunt for the horse Gaballo:^ JH or jliv = horse; la, abbreviation for 

 daTca = card; sJii = 1, and achi = wish, take, hunt." Cut is da-na, and
