The second bundle is painted <jreen. Each stick i.s wliittled to a 

 blunt point at one end and has two short, (h)\vny turkey feathers 

 attached (pi. xiv, b)." 



The tliird bundle contains two sets of 4 

 sticks each, wliich were originally painted blue. 

 They are sharpened to tapering points at one 

 end. To each stick is tied two of the tail 

 feather.s of some small bird (pi. xiv, «).'' 



The fourth bundle contains three sets of 4 

 sticks each and the remains of another set 

 which probably contained 4, though it is so 

 old tliat it is in a fragmentary condition (pi. 

 XIV, d)/ A bundle of feathers attached by 

 strings is bound in with the a'mina, each one 

 of which also bears two feathers, all the 

 feathers being from a red-colored bird. 



The fifth bundle contains three sets of 4 

 sticks each, but they are so old and broken 

 that their original length can not be deter- 

 mined. They also have red feathers bound to them (pi. xiv, c). 



The sixth buntlle is very small and very old and it is probable 

 that the unusual number of sticks — 5 — is due to the fact that a por- 

 tion of the bundle has crumbled with 

 age (pi. XIV, e). 



Animal ejfigies. Wooden images of 

 reptiles and the like are used in the 

 medicine-men's efl'orts to cure certain 

 diseases. Two such specimens were 

 collected. One is intended to repre- 

 sent a horned toad (fig. 25, a),'' the 

 other a lizard (fig. 25, b) / They are either carelessly or clumsily made. 

 Mask. During his stay among the Pimas the writer heard of l)ut 

 two wooden nuisks be- 

 ing in their possession. 

 One of these was col- 

 lected and is here de- 

 picted in figure 26.^ 

 Doctor Hough called his 

 attention to the fact 

 that it resembles those made by the ^ aquis of Sonora, and it
