The paint-pouch shown in Plate xi, Fig. i, represents a 

 saddle-bag. The triangular design upon it is a tent. The 

 stripe along the side of the pouch is a snake. The beads at 

 the edge of the opening are variously-colored rocks. The 

 five-pointed mouth of the pouch represents a star. 



The pouch shown in Figs. 2 and 3, Plate xi, represents a 

 beaver. The triangular design in beadwork is a tent. It 

 rests upon a green horizontal line, which represents the ground 

 when the grass is green. On the other side of the pouch is 

 another, differently-colored triangular design, which is also a 

 tent. This rests upon a yellow band, which represents the 

 ground in autumn, when the grass is yellow. Light-blue 

 stripes at the two sides of the pouch represent the sky. On 

 the flap, the two converging white stripes are an arrow-head. 

 The small dark-blue triangles are also arrow-heads. The line 

 of beads projecting from the edge of the flap represents the 

 scales on the beaver's- tail. It will be seen that one side of 

 this flap is left bare, which is unusual. 



In the pouch shown in Fig. 4 of Plate xi the opening is four- 

 pointed, and represents the morning star. 



The pouch shown in Fig. 5 of Plate xi represents a saddle- 

 bag. The triangular design is a mountain. The gray-blue 

 area on which it is imposed is hazy atmosphere. The blue- 

 and-yellow border represents mountain-ranges. This pouch 

 is beaded on one side only. 



The pouch shown in Fig. 6 of Plate xi represents a greenish 

 lizard. For this reason the ground-color of the beadwork is 

 green. In most pouches it is white. The design represents a 

 mountain: this species of lizard lives mostly on mountains. 

 The whole bag with its opening, besides being the lizard itself, 

 is also the hole in which the animal lives; and the vertical 

 green stripe with two bands across it represents the lizard 

 with the markings of its skin. The opening of the pouch is 

 also the lizard's mouth; and the projections at the opening, 

 its ears. 



The bag shown in Figs, i and 2 of Plate xii represents a 

 lizard. The rectangular design (Fig. i) with six projections 

 represents a cricket. Below it, the crosses are stars, and the
