A robe of some sort is a necessary adjunct, at all 

 ordinar}^ times regardless of the season. In Coronado's 

 time these robes were of cotton, woven rabbitskins, 

 dressed skins, often buffalo, and turkey feathers fas- 

 tened to a net. Large flocks of turkeys used to be kept

 single garment, of yucca fiber at Zufii, but of cotton 

 elsewhere, which reached from the shoulders to the 

 knees. It was fastened over the right shoulder but

 worn at the waist. Later, the material changed to

 by the older Hopi women. Specimens of the old 

 cotton dresses embroidered in colors with woolen yarn 

 are still in existence. The Museum has a few excellent 

 specimens of these which came from Acoma. An 

 under garment of white cotton was adopted by the
