song', accompanied by .a dance, while the girls grind the meal and the 

 Heheas clap their hand.s. After a short time the Heheas take some of 

 the meal from the grinding stones and carry it to the kiva chief or to 

 the clown, and put it in his mouth to show its excellence. They 

 respond that it is good, and the Heheas resume their seats, shouting 

 and clapping their hands as before. 



After a little while the Heheas take more of the meal and thrust it into 

 the mouths of the other spectators for them to taste, all the time car- 

 rying on a bantering conversation with the chief. After this proceeds 

 for some time the girls i-ise, the metates are brushed, done up in the 

 sheepskins, and laid at one side. The girls then stand in front of the 

 lino of An3'a katcinas and posture their bodies, holding ears of corn 

 in the hands, which they extend one after another in the attitudes 

 shown in the picture of Alo mana. 



The being called Afiya katcina, while apparently very old among the 

 Hopis, resembles the Zufii Kokokci in both symbolism and general 

 character, which suggests that lioth may have been derived from a 

 common source. It is not improl)al)le that this source in both instances 

 was the pueblos of the Patki clans, the ruins of which are situated 

 on the Little Colorado river. 



It is interesting in this connection to note that the whorls of hair of 

 the Afiya manas more nearly resemble those of the Zufii personations 

 of girls than tho.se of the Hopi. which, ,so far as it goes, tolls in favor 

 of a conunon derivation. 



(I'Uitv XXXIIl) 



The figure of Hokyafia katcina is accompanied by that of a drummer. 

 He wears a bearded maskette colored green and has hair cut in ter- 

 races across the foi'(>lu"ad and below the ears, T)ut hanging down the 

 back. This way of cutting the hair in teiTaces is symbolic of rain 

 clouds. 



There is a l)uiuh of feathers on top of the head, and a string with 

 attached feathers hangs down tlio back. The lower rim of the maskette 

 has alternate blocks of red, green, white, and l)lack coloi's, as in Anya 

 katcina masks. One side of the body is painted red, the other blue. 



The drummer is dressed like a Navaho, \vitli calico or silk headband, 

 velvet trousers. l)uckskin leggings with silver l)uttons, and belt of 

 silver disks. 



Hokyafia is said to be distinguished from Anya by his peculiar step in 

 danciui;-.
