120 THE WA-WAC-KA-TCI-NA : 



covered by a helmet, made of leather, and painted brick 

 red. The hair of the helmet was a white skin. A prom- 

 inent nose was represented and the eyebrows were out- 

 lined in a way very different from the same in sacred dance 

 masks. The distinguishing marks of the helmet were two 

 white lines, one on each side, extending from the nose 

 across the cheeks broadening as they reached the edges of 

 the mask. 



The photograph of the man taking the part of Plu'-hu- 

 wtih shows that he wore a ceremonial dance kilt and that 

 the rest of his body was naked, with the exception of a 

 fur about his neck and a scanty kilt. The body was, how-

 ing the race. In the photograph, which is introduced in 

 Plate i, it is seen that his helmet is covered with downy 

 substance, probably white feathers, and the snout is protu- 

 berant. Around his neck there was a coarse cloth. His 

 body was painted white and upon each upper arm he had 

 a string of primary feathers in imitation of wings. 



In the Wd-wdc-kd-tci-nd, Ke-se-Kd-tci-nd ran about from 

 place to place with body crouched forward imitating the 

 hawk, moving his arms as if they were wings. 



Among the personages who took part in the racing Kd-
