A TUSAYAN FOOT RACE. 121 



photograph but who was identified as the Mi'mg-iva or Owl 

 Kd-tci-nd. He wore a liehiiet not unlike that of the owl 

 which I have seen in the So-yo-him^ , but I am doubtful 

 whether it was really intended that he should represent 

 this Kd-tci-nd or not. 



There was still a second which I was also unable to 

 identif3^ From the variations which occur in the race as 

 performed in the different viUages, it seems legitimate to 

 conclude that the running lid-tci-nd varies very greatlyin 

 different pueblos. It would be most interesting in a com- 

 parative way to study the Wd-wdc-Kd-tci-nd at 0-rai-bi 

 where it occurs, as I am informed by one of the Indians, 

 and in which judging from their celebrations, would prob- 

 ably be of more primitive character. 



There are several pictographs- which have been iden- 

 tified for me as pictures of the Wd-wdc-Kd-tci-nd which 

 would seem to enlaro^e a number of mvtholoojical beinorg 

 who take part in these races. The present article is there- 

 fore after the nature of a preliminary sketch to be sup- 

 plemented later by a more extended account with explan- 

 ations. 



UTE-CE-E -KA-TCI-NA. 



Ute-ce-e or Apache Kd-tci-nd appeared in the Wd'-wdc 

 with Ke-se- kd-tci-nd ( May 16th) . 1 have as material for the 

 study of this character several photographs (PL i, fig. 2) 

 taken in the Hu-mis dance and in the Wd'-wdc at Si-tciim- 

 o-vi, and have also examined the masks(Pl. ii, figs. 2,3,4) 

 which were in each ceremony. 



The mask (PL ii, fig. 1) is made of leather barely 

 large enough to cover the face and is bent into shape to 



>The So-yohim-Kd-tci-na dance, described in Vol. ii, Journal of American Eth- 

 twlogy and ArchcBology, was witnessed in Ci-paii-lo-vi. In this ceremony many 

 different Kd-tci-nds of many colors participated.
