PELTER OF TRANSMITTAL: 
WASHINGTON, D. C., February 27, 1891. 
Sir: Herewith I have the honor to submit a paper upon the para- 
phernalia of the medicine-men of the Apache and other tribes. 
Analogues have been pointed out, wherever possible, especially in 
the case of the hoddentin and the izze-kloth, which have never to my 
knowledge previously received treatment. 
Accompanying the paper is a bibliography of the principal works 
cited. 
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, 
JOHN G. BOURKE, 
Captain, Third Cavalry, U. S. Army.
