Summary of Papers. 



Mr. Pepper first went to Espafiola and from there visited the 

 pueblos of Santa Clara, San Ildefonso, Pojoaque, Nambe and 

 Tesuque. One of the ceremonial dances at the pueblo of Santa 

 Clara was witnessed. San Juan, Picoris and Tesuque next 

 received attention. After this work was completed the Hopi 

 region was visited, the time selected being the occasion of the 

 Antelope and Snake dances at Walpi. In the pueblos of Hano, 

 Sichomavi and Walpi, special attention was devoted to the w^ork 

 of the Hopi potters, particularly Nampayo of Hano, who is the 

 only one living that has made a careful study of the old pig- 

 ments and clays. 



On the second mesa the pueblos of Mashongnavi and Shungo- 

 pavi were visited, and the Snake Dance at Mashongnavi observed. 

 Oraibi, the seventh of the Hopi pueblos, situated fifteen miles to 

 the west of the second mesa, came next. During the stay in 

 this pueblo the wonderful Flute ceremony was enacted. From 

 the Hopi region the route taken led to the pueblo of Laguna in 

 the western part of New Mexico, and from there to Acoma, 

 where the Fiesta de San Esteban was seen. While in the pueblo 

 of Isleta the Fiesta de San Augustine took place.
