722 GAMES OF THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS _[BTH. Ann. 24 
Quorts 
The following games are akin to our game of quoits, but they do 
not appear to have anything in common with it apart from a general 
resemblance. At the same time it is not unlikely that the game 
played with stones by the Tarahumare, Mohave, and Zuni may have 
been borrowed from the Spaniards. The last-named play with iron 
disks, rayuelas. The Zuni regard their game.as Mexican. I have 
here incorporated a Navaho game like ring-toss, which may have had 
hkewise a foreign origin.

ATHAPASCAN STOCK 
Navano. Chin Lee, Arizona. (Cat. no. 3632, Brooklyn Institute 
Museum. ) 
Yucca-wrapped ring (figure 946), 44 inches in diameter, half its 
diameter painted white. 
Collected by the writer in 1903. Two common sticks, about a foot 
high, are set up as pegs about as far apart as one can pitch, and if the 
ring falls so that its green edge touches the peg it counts twice as 
much as the white. When it falls on the peg the game is won. The 
ring is called bas, ring.
