  model 
  as 
  constructed 
  by 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  H. 
  Jackson 
  is 
  forty 
  incbes 
  in 
  length, 
  and 
  

   shows 
  one-third 
  of 
  the 
  ruin 
  ; 
  the 
  scale 
  is 
  six 
  feet 
  to 
  one 
  inch. 
  

  

  A 
  restoration 
  of 
  the 
  above, 
  also 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Jackson, 
  is 
  the 
  subject 
  of 
  the 
  

   third 
  of 
  the 
  series. 
  In 
  this, 
  the 
  buildings 
  are 
  built 
  up 
  to 
  the 
  condition 
  

   iu 
  which 
  they 
  were 
  originally 
  supposed 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  before 
  their 
  deser- 
  

   tion. 
  They 
  show 
  many 
  points 
  of 
  resemblance 
  to 
  the 
  present 
  Moquis 
  in 
  

   Northwestern 
  Arizona, 
  noticeably 
  so 
  in 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  the 
  ladder 
  to 
  reach 
  

   their 
  houses. 
  Groups 
  of 
  miniature 
  people 
  have 
  been 
  arranged 
  about 
  

   the 
  model, 
  representing 
  them 
  engaged 
  in 
  various 
  occupations, 
  with 
  their 
  

   pottery 
  and 
  other 
  domestic 
  utensils. 
  

  

  The 
  Great 
  Triple 
  Walled 
  Tower, 
  on 
  the 
  McElmo, 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Holmes, 
  is 
  a 
  

   horizontal 
  model 
  thirty 
  inches 
  square, 
  representing, 
  on 
  a 
  scale 
  of 
  four 
  

   feet 
  to 
  one 
  inch, 
  the 
  ruins 
  of 
  an 
  exceedingly 
  interesting 
  circular 
  stone 
  

   tower 
  in 
  Southwestern 
  Colorado. 
  

  

  The 
  fifth 
  of 
  the 
  series 
  is 
  a 
  model 
  of 
  a 
  Cliff 
  House, 
  in 
  the 
  bluff" 
  of 
  the 
  

   lower 
  canon 
  of 
  the 
  Eio 
  De 
  Chelly 
  in 
  Arizona, 
  on 
  a 
  scale 
  of 
  three 
  feet 
  to 
  

   one 
  inch, 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  size 
  as 
  the 
  Mancos 
  model. 
  This 
  is 
  especiallj" 
  

   intended 
  to 
  show 
  the 
  manner 
  in 
  which 
  its 
  former 
  occupants 
  passed 
  up 
  

   and 
  down 
  the 
  steep 
  face 
  of 
  the 
  bluff 
  in 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  built, 
  by 
  steps 
  hewn 
  

   in 
  the 
  rock. 
  

  

  A 
  model 
  of 
  the 
  Pueblo 
  of 
  Tequa 
  in 
  Northeastern 
  Arizona, 
  repre 
  

   sents, 
  upon 
  a 
  scale 
  of 
  eight 
  feet 
  to 
  one 
  inch, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  picturesque 
  

   and 
  interesting 
  of 
  the 
  villages 
  of 
  the 
  Moqui 
  Indians. 
  It 
  is 
  perched 
  

   upon 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  a 
  narrow 
  plateau 
  of 
  bare 
  rock, 
  600 
  feet 
  in 
  height 
  

   (only 
  the 
  upper 
  100 
  feet 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  included 
  in 
  the 
  model), 
  showing 
  

   the 
  pathways 
  cut 
  in 
  the 
  solid 
  rock, 
  affording 
  the 
  only 
  means 
  of 
  access, 
  

   and 
  up 
  which 
  are 
  carried 
  all 
  of 
  the 
  wood, 
  water, 
  and 
  provisions 
  of 
  the 
  

   inhabitants. 
  This 
  last 
  forms 
  a 
  fitting 
  accompaniment 
  to 
  the 
  preceding, 
  

   as 
  the 
  Moquis 
  are 
  supposed 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  descendants, 
  or 
  a 
  remnant, 
  of 
  the 
  

   same 
  people 
  who 
  built 
  the 
  houses 
  and 
  tow^ers 
  represented 
  by 
  the 
  models 
  

   of 
  the 
  foregoing 
  series. 
  

  

  The 
  last 
  two 
  have 
  been 
  completed 
  since 
  the 
  closing 
  of 
  the 
  Interna- 
  

   tional 
  Exhibition. 
  The 
  production 
  of 
  model 
  representations 
  for 
  distri- 
  

   bution 
  among 
  colleges 
  and. 
  institutions 
  of 
  learning 
  will 
  be 
  continued 
  as 
  

   new 
  subjects 
  are 
  obtained. 
  

  

  It 
  will 
  be 
  seen 
  also 
  by 
  the 
  publications 
  of 
  the 
  Survey 
  that 
  the 
  ethnog- 
  

   raphy 
  and 
  philology 
  of 
  the 
  Indian 
  tribes 
  of 
  our 
  Western 
  Territories 
  are 
  

   receiving 
  a 
  fair 
  share 
  of 
  attention. 
  Several 
  papers 
  on 
  this 
  subject 
  have 
  

   been 
  printed 
  in 
  the 
  Bulletin 
  ; 
  and 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  important 
  volumes 
  

   on 
  the 
  subject 
  ever 
  published 
  is 
  about 
  to 
  be 
  issued, 
  entitled 
  "The 
  Ethnog- 
  

   raphy 
  and 
  Philology 
  of 
  the 
  Hidatsa 
  Indians", 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Washington 
  

   Matthews, 
  U. 
  S. 
  A. 
  They 
  are 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  stationary 
  tribes 
  that 
  have 
  

   lived 
  on 
  the 
  Upper 
  Missouri, 
  near 
  Forts 
  Berthold 
  and 
  Clarke, 
  from 
  time 
  

   immemorial, 
  are 
  very 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  the 
  Crow 
  JSTation, 
  which 
  dwell 
  in 
  the 
  

   Yellowstone 
  Valley, 
  and 
  belong 
  remotely 
  to 
  the 
  great 
  Dakota 
  stock. 
  

  

  This 
  volume 
  may 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  a 
  most 
  carefully 
  prepared 
  analytical
