sents four Marau arrows, Marau hohohu, in the Free Museum of 
Science and Art of the University of Pennsylvania (cat no. 38810). 
They are made of reed, 18} to 21 inches in length, with wooden points; 
the feathers are obtained from the wing of the golden eagle. These 
arrows are described by the collector, Rev. H. R. Voth, as follows: 
These arrows are made in the kiva on the 8th day of the Marau ceremony by 
a man belonging to the Pakat (Reed) clan. In the public ceremony, on the ninth 
day, they are used by two of the Marau takas, who act as archers in the plaza. 
‘The arrows are shot into the bundle, consisting of squash, melon, bean, cotton,

zona; from H. R. Voth. 
and other vines. At the close of the ceremony they are deposited in a shrine 
north of the village, in which four old stone Péokong fetiches are sitting on 
projecting rocks. 
Again, in the Lalakonti ceremony, as witnessed by the writer at 
Walpi in the summer of 1901, the Lakone mana threw feather darts, 
made of ears of corn,into cloud symbols which the priest, or Lakone 
taka, traced with meal upon the ground.* 
«See Dr J. Walter Fewkes, Hopi Basket Dances. Journal of American Folk-Lore, vy. 12, 
p. 81, 1899. Doctor Fewkes describes corncobs, instead of ears of corn, stuck with eagle 
feathers as used in the Lalakonti ceremony at Walpi in 1898. He witnessed also the cere- 
mony at Oraibi, mentioning corncobs as used there, and the one at Shipaulovi, where two 
halves of corncobs were employed.
