walls across the corner of a room, and its insertion into the wall is 
much farther from the corner on one side than the other. From the 
longer stretch of inclosed wall protrudes a short pole that joins the prin- 
cipal one and serves as a support for one side of the chimney-hood. In 
this case the builder appears to have been too timid to venture on the 
bolder construction required in the perfected two-poled hood. This 
example probably represents a stage in the development of the higher 
form. 
In some instances the rectangular corner hood is not suspended from 
the ceiling, but is supported from beneath by a stone slab or a piece of 
wood. Such a chimney hood seen in a house of Shupauloyi measures 
nearly 4 by 5 feet. The short side is supported by two stone slabs built 
into the wall and extending from the hood to the floor. Upon the upper 
stone rests one end of the wooden lintel supporting the long side, while 
the other end, near the corner of the room, is held in position by a light 
crotch of wood. Fig. 64 illustrates this hood; the plan indicating the 
relation of the stones and the forked stick to the corner of the room. 
Fig. 71, illustrating a terrace fireplace and chimney of Shumopayi, shows 
the employment of similar supports. 
Corner chimney hoods in Zuni do not differ essentially from the more 
symmetrical of the Tusayan specimens, but they are distinguished by
