  hewn

  decorated 
  with 
  the 
  characteristic 
  rude 
  carv- 
  

   ing 
  of 
  the 
  old 
  Spanish 
  work. 
  A 
  number 
  of 
  legends 
  connected 
  

   with 
  the 
  ruined 
  pueblos 
  were 
  recorded. 
  

  

  On 
  closing 
  this 
  work 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  the 
  Moki 
  villages, 
  

   late 
  in 
  August, 
  the 
  party 
  moved 
  into 
  Keam 
  Canyon, 
  en 
  route 
  

   for 
  Canyon 
  de 
  Chelly. 
  A 
  day 
  was 
  devoted 
  to 
  the 
  survey 
  of 
  

   a 
  small 
  pueblo 
  of 
  irregular 
  elliptical 
  outline, 
  situated 
  about 
  

   eighteen 
  miles 
  northeast 
  from 
  Keam 
  Canyon. 
  This 
  ruin 
  is 
  in 
  

   excellent 
  state 
  of 
  preservation 
  and 
  exhibits 
  in 
  the 
  masonry 
  

   some 
  stones 
  of 
  remarkably 
  large 
  size. 
  The 
  early 
  part 
  of 
  Sep- 
  

   tember 
  was 
  employed 
  in 
  making 
  a 
  close 
  survey 
  of 
  the 
  Mummy 
  

   Cave 
  group 
  of 
  ruins 
  in 
  Canyon 
  de 
  la 
  Muerte, 
  this 
  work 
  includ- 
  

   ing 
  a 
  five-foot 
  contour 
  map 
  of 
  the 
  ground 
  and 
  the 
  rocky 
  ledge 
  

   over 
  which 
  the 
  houses 
  were 
  distributed. 
  Detailed 
  drawings 
  

   of 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  special 
  features 
  were 
  made 
  here, 
  particularly 
  

   in 
  connection 
  with 
  the 
  circular 
  ceremonial 
  chambers. 
  The 
  

   latter 
  were 
  so 
  buried 
  under 
  the 
  accumulated 
  debris 
  of 
  fallen 
  

   walls 
  that 
  much 
  excavation 
  was 
  required 
  to 
  lay 
  bare 
  the 
  de- 
  

   tails 
  of 
  internal 
  arrangement. 
  A 
  high 
  class 
  of 
  workmanship 
  

   is 
  here 
  exhibited, 
  both 
  in 
  the 
  execution 
  of 
  the 
  constructional 
  

   features 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  interior 
  decoration 
  of 
  these 
  chambers. 
  

   Later 
  the 
  White 
  House 
  group, 
  in 
  the 
  Canyon 
  de 
  Chelly, 
  com- 
  

   prising 
  a 
  village 
  and 
  cliff 
  houses, 
  was 
  examined 
  and 
  platted 
  in 
  

   the 
  same 
  maimer. 
  

  

  The 
  drawings 
  and 
  plans 
  were 
  supplemented 
  with 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  

   photographs. 
  Some 
  negatives 
  of 
  Navajo 
  houses 
  were 
  also 
  

   made. 
  

  

  On 
  closing 
  this 
  work 
  the 
  party 
  went 
  into 
  Fort 
  Defiance, 
  en 
  

   route 
  for 
  Zufii, 
  and 
  thence 
  to 
  Ojo 
  Caliente, 
  a 
  modern 
  farming 
  

   pueblo 
  of 
  the 
  Zufii, 
  about 
  twelve 
  miles 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  principal 
  

   village. 
  Here 
  two 
  ruins 
  of 
  villages, 
  thought 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  

   ancient 
  Cibola 
  group, 
  were 
  platted. 
  One 
  of 
  these 
  villages 
  had 
  

   been 
  provided 
  with 
  a 
  circular 
  reservoir 
  of 
  large 
  size, 
  partially 
  

   walled 
  in 
  with 
  masonry. 
  Here, 
  also, 
  t^j^well 
  preserved 
  walls 
  

   of 
  a 
  stone 
  church 
  can 
  be 
  seen. 
  The 
  other 
  contains 
  the 
  remains 
  

   of 
  a 
  large 
  church, 
  built 
  of 
  adobe. 
  A 
  series 
  of 
  widely 
  scattered 
  

   house-clusters, 
  occurring 
  two 
  miles 
  west 
  of 
  Ojo 
  Caliente, 
  was 
  

   also 
  examined, 
  but 
  the 
  earth 
  had 
  drifted 
  over 
  the 
  fallen 
  walls
