the back, and plate 27, c, on which they are placed below the orna- 

 mental chest band. 



Moccasins. — Many adults, though completely dressed, are shown 

 barefoot. Others wear moccasins. The moccasins collected by Powell 

 were described by Gudmund Hatt, "Moccasins and their Relation to 

 Arctic Footwear" (Amer. Anthrop. Assoc, Mem. 3, no. 3, 1916). 



Kaibab moccasins for both sexes seem to have had separate soles, 

 molded to the foot like the Southwestern types (pis. 17, b, 18, b, 

 19, b). The St. George moccasins (pi. 20, c) are similar. The 

 woman's moccasin in plate 18, b, has a high, fringed top, the edge of 

 which is turned down. The top of the Ute moccasin in plate 30 

 resembles the last. The Ute man standing on the right in plate 28, b, 

 has geometric designs on both the instep and uppers of his moccasins. 



Of particular interest are the garters supporting the uppers of the 

 Moapa man's moccasins in plate 1, b. 



Rabbit-skin blankets.- — -Blankets made by twining together twisted 

 strips of rabbit fur were an essential article throughout the Sho- 

 shonean area. They served both as robes and bedding. They were 

 worn either instead of or over ordinary clothing. 



Several are shown among the Kaibab : the woman with the hat 

 seated in plate 11 ; two persons in the background in plate 12; three 

 persons seated in plate 13, b; and plate 7. Though none are shown 

 among the Uintah Ute, the University of Utah Museum of Anthro- 

 pology has specimens from this group. 



TRANSPORTATION 



Two devices for transporting goods by human carriers are illus- 

 trated: a net wrapped about the bundle in the lower left corner of 

 the Kaibab photograph, plate 14, a, and the conical baskets shown 

 in plate 16, b. 



The carrying strap was used by Kaibab women both as a tump line 

 over the head, as shown with the water jugs (pi. 16, a), and as a chest 

 strap, as shown with the baskets (pi. 16, b). 



PARFLECHE 



The parfleche is one of the many traits which the Ute acquired 

 from the Plains tribes. A single specimen appears in the foreground 

 of plate 24, a. 



MAIZE 



It is of interest that although ethnographic studies report that all 

 Southern Paiute grew some maize and that the Ute did not, the only
