cept?); in three with phallic manifestations; in four with “ flute- 
playing” and the reclining attitude. This personage may therefore 
be defined as a humpbacked creature connected in some way with 
hunting, with phallicism, and with “ flute-playing.” That this par- 
ticular conception, in some of its phases at least, was a very definite 
one is shown by the close similarity in shape and attitude between 
the figures from Hagoé and those from Marsh Pass, sites a number 
of miles apart. That it was exceedingly widely disseminated in the 
Southwest is proved by the following instances: In Fewkes Canyon, 
Mesa Verde, there are
