Clara was witnessed. San Juan, Picoris and Tesuque next re- 

 ceived attention. After this work was completed, the Hopi 

 region was visited, the time selected being the occasion of the 

 Antelope and Snake dances at AValpi. In the pueblos of Hano, 

 Sichomavi and Walpi, special attention was devoted to the work 

 of the Hopi potters, particularly Nampayo of Hano, who is the 

 only one living that has made a careful study of the old pig- 

 ments and clays. 



On the second Mesa the pueblos of Mashongnavi and Shungo- 

 pavi were visited, and the Snake Dance at Mashongnavi observed. 

 Oraibi, the seventh of the Hopi pueblos, situated fifteen miles to 

 the west of the second Mesa, came next. During the stay in 

 this pueblo the wonderful Flute ceremony was enacted. From 

 the Hopi region the route taken led to the pueblo of Laguna in 

 the western part of New Mexico, and from there to Acoma, 

 where the Fiesta de San Esteban was seen. While in the pueblo 

 of Isleta the Fiesta de San Augustine took place. 



Visits to the pueblos of Jemez, Zia, Santa Ana, Ranchitas 

 de Santa Ana, Sandia, San Felipe, Santo Domingo, Cochiti and 

 Zuni completed the season's work, which included all of the 

 twenty-six "mother pueblos," now inhabited. 



The subject of primitive pottery-making as represented in 

 the various groups was carefully considered and the technique 

 of each culture was investigated. Samples of the materials used 

 in the manufacture of pottery were obtained as well as represen- 

 tative forms of finished vessels from each pottery-making pueblo. 

 Nearly one thousand negatives were made to supplement the 

 field notes, and to enhance the value of the exhaustive card cata- 

 logue pertaining to Southwestern ceramics, which is now in the 

 course of preparation. The laboratory work is now progressing, 

 and when the vessels have been catalogued and photographed, 

 the set will be divided among the three contributors to the 

 expedition.
