account (p. 191, 192, op. cit.) of the invocation to the six world 
quarters, in the X^<i<icn(iii/(i. On phxte 2, tig. 12, of that article I 
have given a figure of one of these altars and in the text described 
the accompanying songs and rites. 
The altar was made on a mound of valley sand placed on the 
floor across which the six direction linesi were drawn in meal, 
and corn was placed at the end of each line as shown in the figure. 
The medicine bowl was set over the intersection of the meal 
lines, and prescribed skins were laid near each ear of corn. 
The bird skins used in WiXwiltcimti had a slightly different 
position from those they occupied in Naacnaiya. 
Information in regard to the bird skins prescribed for the 
ends of the meal lines indicating the six directions seems to differ 
for different societies, although Hani declared that the same kinds 
ought to be used in all cases. 
The following arrangement was used in two societies.

1 N. W., S. W., S. E., N. E., above, and below. The colors corresponding to these 
world quarters are yellow, green or blue, red, white, black, and all colors. Mr. 
J. Owen Dorsey(A study of Siouan cults, p. 532) has overlooked the fact which I 
have repeatedly pointed out that, the colors for the above and below, among the 
Hopi, are black and all colors, exactly opposite of those of the Zufii. It has also been 
repeatedly stated by me that the Hopi north is in reality northwest. 
2 This arrangement is almost identical with that of the XaacmiUja charm altar 
(mde Naacnaiya, p. 220) and is probably not very far from the prescribed one of all 
the cloud charm altars.
