for LelElgEinlllas (IV 4), | who was to be Land-Otter-Dancer, for 97 

 this is a great dance. The hxnd-otter dance is the same in the nonlEm 

 as the I hamatsia is in the winter dance, and | therefore QWmx'od 

 (III 1) wished his son LelElgEmlilas (IV 4) |1 to he Land-Otter- 700 

 Dancer, because he had stayed at home with his mo ther WawalaxElag' i- 

 ^lak" (III 6). I Therefore he had to have a substitute; and a substi- 

 tute also danced the scattering-dance for the | daughter of Q!umxod, 

 Qwaxihxl (IV 3). The name of the dancer was X'lts.'ax ilasogwi- 

 4ax". I Tlie scattering-dancer is the same in the nonlEm | as the 

 mamacj !a is in the winter dance, for it is ta'ken care of by chiefs of 

 high rank. Therefore || Qliimx'od (III 1) wished his princess to 5 

 have this dance. Another one was grizzly-bear dancer, | and his 

 name was Nandze; and the name given by | Qwax'ila (II 9) in mar- 

 riage to Qliimx'od (III 1) was LlalEWElsEla (III 1) for the noniEui. | 

 Qwax'ila (II 9) also gave a second name to Qliimx'od (III 1) | for the 

 secular season, Walalag' i4ak" (III 1), and also the nonlEm namell 

 LlalEWElsEla (III 1). The shredded ceihxr-bark of the head-ring | 10 

 and neck-ring of the dancers and of all the Koskimo is white, when | 

 they are initiated by the supernatural power of the nonlEm. For 

 four I days they wore cedar-bark on their heads; and after | four 

 days they put it off. || Qwax'ila (II 9) also gave as a marriage gift 15 

 many dentalia and cedai--bark blankets to his | son-in-law Qliimx'od 

 (III 1). LlalEWElsEla (III 1) gave these away to the | Koskimo. |
