 cheek. These markings consist of white, red, and yellow bauds, the 

 first furnished with a row of black wings.

 side. The tail feathers are tied to the belt in such a way that their 

 extremities show behind.

 means of gum or some sticky substance.

Koyona, the Turkey, has a green-colored helmet, with long extended 

 beak and l;>right red wattles, which are made of flannel cloth. The 

 wings and tail are made of feathers attached to the arms and belt.

The picture of Kowako, the Chicken katcina, has a red comb and 

 wattles; the body is painted red on the dorsal, white on the ventral side.
