(Plate XXXVIl) 



Two pictures, both called Ahote, from the cry uttered by the per- 

 sonator, differ widelj" from each other in ,s3'mbolism. The name of 

 one has the accent on the penult, that of the other on the antepenult. 



Aho'te has a helmet painted yellow, with goggle ej'es, a prominent 

 snout, and face covered with red and black four-pointed stars. The 

 figure has two liandoleers, a white kilt with pendent fox skin, and 

 an embroidered sash. A large string of eagle feathers hangs down 

 the back. 



■ (Plate XXXVIl) 



A'hote has a black helmet with great goggle eyes and a single four- 

 pointed star on the right cheek, a new moon on the left. Unlike 

 Aho'te, he has two horns, one on each side of the head, and a triangle 

 on the forehead painted yellow, in which are black and red rings. On 

 the head there is a small fanlike feather appendage. 



(Plate LXII) 



The picture of Tiirtumsi represents a goggle-eyed katcina with yel- 

 low mask, on which are parallel rows of black lines extending longitu- 

 dinally. The figure has a black beard, to which are fastened two 

 cotton strings. A row of eagle feathers is attached to the head and 

 hangs down the back, as shown in the picture, and there is a rattle 

 in the right hand, a bow and arrows in the left. 



Several Hopis gave the name Komantci (Comanche) to this katcina. 

 Possibly it was derived from this tribe, with which the ancient Hopis 

 were familiar.

This characteristic being is readilj- distinguished by the cactus on 

 the head and in the hand. He also carries a bow and arrows. 



(Plate XXXVIl) 



Hototo katcina has crescentic marks painted green and red on the 

 face, goggle-eyes, and a short snout. In his right hand he carries an 

 object on which appears the zigzag lightning symbol. 



The Hopis say that Hototo is so named from the cry "Hototo, 

 hototo!" which the personator utters.
