FEWKES] THE CIPAULOVI ANTELOPE ALTAR 279 
corresponding with the colors of the cardinal points.! At the apices 
were small feathers. 
There were no stone implements on the outer border of the sand 
picture, as at Walpi, but their places on each side were occupied by a 
row of clay pedestals, twelve in number on each side, those in each 
series being placed close together. Each clay pedestal had a straight 
stick with cornhusk, feather, and string tied to the end. There were 
none of these sticks at the front of the sand picture, and most of them 
were not curved at the ends. There were no stone fetishes along the 
rear of the sand picture, nor stone implements or sticks in pedestals 
on that side. The tipont was placed back of the extreme right-hand 
corner, and was separated by a considerable space from the sand 
picture. Back of the rear edge of the picture, at the right of the 
median line, there was a small vase and two snake whips standing 
upright. The floor in front of the picture had about fifteen basket 
trays, each containing the pahos made by individual Antelope priests, 
and in their midst was the medicine-bowl. 
It will be seen that the main points of difference between this altar 
and that at Walpi are the absence of stone implements, fetishes, and 
sticks on the front and rear of the picture. The situation of the tipont 
is different, and there are minor variations in the heads of the light- 
ning symbols and in the arrangement of the sticks and other acces- 
sories. The Antelope chief bewailed that his altar was so poor in wimé 
(fetishes), and showed me, in addition to what have been mentioned, a 
trochid shell and a few rounded stones. I could add to his parapher- 
nalia only a small quartz crystal, which, however, he greatly prized. 
The Snake chief at Cipauloyi has no tiponi, and consequently no 
altar. The only objects at the end of the kiva, where the altar would 
have been had he possessed a tiponi, was a row of twenty snake whips 
leaning against the ledge of the rear wall, behind the sipapu. There 
were two large bags hanging from a peg in the rear wall of the kiva, 
and on the floor, at one side, four canteens like those which the women 
use to carry water from the spring to the pueblo. These were full of 
snakes, and their apertures were stopped with corncobs. The head of 
an arrowsnake protruded from one of the bags hanging on the wall. 
THE CEREMONIES ON THE DAY CALLED TOTOKYA?2 
On August 22, which was the day before the Snake dance at Cipau- 
lovi, I visited both the Antelope and the Snake kiva at about 9 oclock 
a.m. Both kivas displayed a bow tied across the ladder, about 6 feet 
above the hatch. These bows had red-stained horsehair hanging to 
the strings, and a few large feathers suspended at intervals. On the
