164 GAMES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS  [E®Tu. Ann. 24 
having 30 notches; the space outside of the ring spattered. Col- 
lected from ancient graves by Mr C. L. Owen in 1900. 
Horr. Shimopavi, Arizona. (Cat. no. 157785, United States Na- 
tional Museum. ) 
Pottery bowl (figure 199), containing symbolic pictograph of bird 
and four marked gaming canes. Excayvated from the old ceme- 
tery “ by Dr J. Walter Fewkes. 
The symbolic bird, Doctor Fewkes informed me, was identified as 
Kwataka, Eagle-man, an old crony of gamblers. 
Fia. 199. Decorated pottery bowl with Eagle-man and gaming reed casts; Hopi Indians, Shimo- 
payi, Arizona; cat. no. 157735, United States National Museum. 
The bird in this bowl was further identified by Mr Cushing with 
the Zuni Misina, referred to in his account of sholiwe (p. 215). 
These three bowls serve to establish the existence and antiquity of a 
cane or reed game, like the Zuni sholiwe, among the Hopi. Fur- 
ther evidence of the antiquity of this game is furnished by several 
split gaming reeds excavated by Doctor Fewkes at the Chevlon ruin, 
near where the Chevlon fork flows into the Little Colorado, about 15 
miles east of Winslow, Arizona. The marks on the reeds are shown 
* Doctor Fewkes informs me that old Shimopavi was inhabited up to 1680, but the 
bowl he regards as older than the middle of the sixteenth century.
