MALLERY. | JAPANESE BELL. (335) 
in the present work. Thus, a is to be compared with characters on 
Figs. 437 and 1227 and others referring to the human form, the cross, 
and the dragon-fly; b with Figs. 57, 1656 and 12611; the two charac- 
ters in ¢, respectively, with Fig. 1262; the mantis, and Fig. 1129, one 
form of star; d with a common turtle form, as in Fig. 50; e with Fig. 
166, an Ojibwa human form, and also exhibiting gesture, and Fig, 113 a 
Brazilian petroglyph; and f with Fig. 657, a north-eastern Algonquian 
drawing. The three last-mentioned pictures, e and fand g, exhibit the 
peculiar internal life organ (often the conventionalized heart), noticed 
in Figs. 50, 700, and 701, and it is to be remarked that the largest 
quadruped in g has the life organ connected with the mouth, while the 
other quadrupeds, and those in h, show no depiction of internal organs. 
The human figure in g is noticeable for the American form of bow, and 
the upper character of h is to be compared with Figs. 104 and 148. 
SECTION 3. 
COMPOSITE FORMS. 
The figures in this group are selected from a larger number in which 
the union of two animals of different kinds or that of an animal and 
another object indicates the union of the sey- 
eral qualities or at- 
\ tributes supposed 
to belong to those 
animals or objects. 
SS The form and use 
of such composite 
figures are familiar 
from the publication 
of the inscriptions Fig. 1240. 
on Egyptian monuments and papyri. 
Fig. 1239.—Eagle-Elk. Red-Cloud’s Census. Here are the branch- 
ing antlers of the elk and the tail of the eagle. 
Fig. 1240.—Eagle- Horse. Red-Cloud’s Census. 
: Kagle feathers replace the horse’s mane. 
Fig. 1241.—Hagle-Horse. Red-Cloud’s 
= Census. This is a variant of the preced- 
ing, the change being shown in the tail. 
Fig. 1242.— Eagle-Swallow. Red- 
Cloud’s Census. The characteristics of 
the two birds are obvious. 
Fig. 1243,—EHagle-Bear. Red-Cloud’s 
Census. 
Fig. 1244.—Weasel-Bear. Red-Cloud’s 
Census. With only hasty view the really 
characteristic form of the weasel might 
be mistaken for a rudely drawn gun. ae
