72 TWO summers' work in pueblo ruins [eth. ANN. 22 



(.)iie of the most interesting pictures of mammalian aniinals occurs 

 on a broken food basin from Chaves pass. This spe'iimen (figure 

 25) represents an animal with long claws, a tail reaching above the 

 body to the head, two triangular ears, and an arrow-shaped tongue. 

 It is one of the few figures in which the intestinal tract is represented, 

 and it has two eyes on one side of the head. 



The design on the food bowl shown in figure 20 represents a four- 

 footed animal which was identified by one of the Hopis as a bison, 

 and the hump on the back certainly suggests this animal. This 

 figure, like tiie preceding, has two eyes on one side of the head, but, 

 unlike it, has the four legs all depicted in the same plane. The

geometrical ligures below this (juadruped are of unknown meaning. 

 The bowl is of red ware, with black and white decoration, and is one 

 of the finest of this kind from the Chevlon ruin. 



As a rule, vases are ornamented on the equator, and it rarely 

 happens that any design is found on the bottom. The specimen 

 shown in figure 27, however, has a design in that region resembling 

 a paw of some animal, possibly a bear or badger. The form and char- 

 acter of ware which distinguish this specimen are likewise highly 

 instructive.
