Fig. 858.—Big-Hand. From Red-Cloud’s Census. Here the fingers 
are widely separated and displayed. 
Fig. 859.—Big-Thunder. From Red Cloud’s Cen- 
sus. Here the size or power is suggested by impli- 
zation. The double or two-voiced thunder is big

Fig. 860.—Big-Voice. From Red-Cloud’s Census. 
In this figure there are still more voices than in the 
preceding. Fia. 860.—Big-Voice. 
CENTER. 
Fig. 861.—Upi-Yaslate. Center-Feather. The 
Oglala Roster. This is the indication of a par- 
ticular feather, i. e., the middle tail feather of a 
bird, probably of an eagle, the tail feathers of 
which bird are represented in many pictographs 
in this paper. There was some reason for the 
selection of the center feather for 
the name, and to indicate the 
center three feathers were de- 
picted with a line touching the 
middle one. 
Fia. 861.—Center-Feather. Pee rea 
DEAF. 
Fig. 862.—Wi-nugin-kpa, Deaf-Woman. The Oglala Roster. The 
ears are covered by a line, i. e., are closed, and the ear most in view is 
connected with the crown of the head, to show that the name is ex- 
pressed.
