A STUDY OF SUMMER CEREMONIALS AT ZUNI 

 AND MOQUI PUEBLOS. 



BY J. WALTER FEWKES. 



THE present article is an abstract of a much larger work 

 soon to be published in which I hope to treat in detail the 

 several religious ceremonials which were observed by me 

 at Zuni Ptfeblo 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. 1 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.
