A STUDY OF SUMMER CEREMONIALS AT ZUNI 
AND MOQUI PUEBLOS. 
BY J. AV ALTER FEWKES. 
The present article is an abstract of a much larger work 
soon to be pu])lislied in which I hope to treat in detail the 
several religious ceremonials which were observed by me 
atZufii Pueblo in the summers of the years 1889 and 1890. 
It is intended as a preliminary statement of observations 
on the externals of these ceremonials, leaving the interpre- 
tation of them to the more exhaustive account.^ The sub- 
stance of what is here given was brought out in a public 
lecture in Salem on the 24th of November, 1890, and a 
report of it appeared in the "Salem Gazette" of the follow- 
ing morning. 
One word is necessary on the very threshold of our sub- 
»The observations here recorded were made while connected with the Hemen- 
way Southwestern Archaeological Expedition.
