on white, brown on white, brown on red, and many other 
combinations of color. All the decorations noted were in 
geometrical designs. 
On the northern face of the mesa, but practically hidden 
from view except from one point in the valley below, is a 
small house shelter of excellent masonry, built beneath an 
overhanging ledge of the cliff which forms the roof. This 
shelter, which is provided with a single small opening over- 
looking the valley to the northward, was seemingly designed 
as a lookout station either for watching the crops or an ap- 
proaching foe. Across the valley, on the eastern side of the 
first great mesa directly opposite that on which the ruins 
are situated, is another small cliff lodge, now accessible only 
by artificial means. Examination ofthe interior, as in the 
case of the cliff lodge above described, yielded nothing of 
interest. Farther up the valley, on the northern side, in 
plain view near the base of a mesa, is a larger cliff lodge, filled 
to a considerable depth with detritus from the soft stone 
forming the roof and side walls. Examination of the floor 
of this lodge a few years ago by Mr. Hodge yielded a few 
corncobs, one or two small objects made of yucca leaves, 
and a wooden drumstick of a form such as the Zuni now 
employ. 
Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, ethnologist, spent the month of 
July, 1913, in the office continuing the preparation of his 
monographic report on the aborigines of the West Indies, 
especially describing the many objects from these islands 
in the noteworthy collection of George G. Heye, Esq., of 
New York. He made a visit to New York toward the close 
of the month to study recent additions to this collection and to 
supervise the preparation of the illustrations for his report. 
It became necessary, in order to make this memoir as com- 
prehensive as possible, to investigate types of the Guesde 
. collection, now owned by the Museum fiir Vélkerkunde in 
Berlin. Accordingly Doctor Fewkes went to Europe at his 
personal expense and spent August, September, and October 
studying these types and also many undescribed Porto Rican 
and other West Indian objects in various museums. Draw- 
ings of about 140 specimens, many of which have not been
