on the abdoiiKMi. Iluniis carries a rattlo in the riglit hand and a sprio- 

 of pine in the left. A small black stick is tied to his left wrist. 



The two figures which accompany Humis repre.sent llano clowns, 

 wh(j are accustomed to amuse the audience during the cclelii-ation of 

 the dances in which he appears. 



Each clown wears a cap with two straight horns made of leather, 

 with corn husks tied to the tops. The horns are banded alternatelj^ 

 black and white, as are also the body, arms, and legs. The figure to 

 the left has a bowl filled with Hopi wafei' })read before him: the one 

 at the right carries a roll of the same in his right hand. 



The name Humis is supposed to have been derived from the pueblo 

 Jemez in New Mexico and to be the same a.s the Zuiiii Hemacikwi, 

 a dance which is ordinarily celebrated in summer. 



HOPI A\ATC IIOTA 



The Hopi Avatc hoya accompanies the Humis katcina. and. as may 

 be seen by consulting the pictures, differs widely from the Sio (Zufii) 

 Avatc hoya. The mask is painted bla'ck, with white rings; the body, 

 arms, and legs, are painted red, with white rings on the body and 

 arms, and with black rings on the legs. The mouth and eyes are 

 represented by green rings. He wears cones made of corn husks in 

 his ears and curved feathers on the head." 



(Plate XXI) 



The pictures of Huhuan represent beings with a characteristic gait, 

 who appear in Powamu, when thej^ distribute gifts from one of the 

 kivas. 



They wear sheepskin caps and necklaces of mosaic ear pendants. 

 They should not l)e confounded with the Barter katcinas. who trade 

 dolls, etc.. in certain festivals. Their symbolic markings are a checker 

 baud of white and colored squares covering the helmet. 



NfVAK 



(Plate XXII) 



There are thi-ee pictures of Niivak, the Snow katcina, two of which 

 represent male personages and one a female. The latter is called the 

 Cold-bringing woman, and is possibly mother of the former. 



This personage* is regarded by all the Hopi as a Hano (Tanoan) 

 katcina. and the dance in whii'h he figures is said to have Ix'cn derived 

 fi'om the far east.
