When the design in plate CL, _a_, is compared with the beautiful bowl shown in plate CXLVI, _d_, a treatment of somewhat similar nature is found. It is believed that both represent birds drawn in profile; the four bands (_a_) are tail-feathers, while the rectangle represents the body and the curved appendage a part of the head. From a similarity to modern figures of a turkey feather, it is possible that the triangle at the end of the curved appendage is the feather of this bird. An examination of _b_ leads to the conclusion that the inner end of the spiral represents a bird's head. Two eyes are represented therein, and from it feathers are appended. The parallel marks on the body are suggestive of similar decorations on the figure of the Plumed Snake painted on the kilts of the Snake priests of Walpi. The star emblems are constant accompaniments of bird designs. Figure _c_ has, in addition to the spiral, the star symbols and what appears to be a flower. The design shown in _d_ is so exceptional that it is here represented with the circular forms. It will be seen that there are well-marked feathers in its composition. Figure _f_ is made up of several bird forms, feathers, rectangles, and triangles, combined in a complicated design, the parts of which may readily be interpreted in the light of what has already been recorded. The significance of the spiral in the design on plate CLI, _a_, is unknown. It is found in several pictures, in some of which it appears to have avian relationship. Figure _b_ of the same plate is a square terraced design appended to the median line, on which symbolic stars are depicted. As in many bird figures, a star is found on the opposite semicircle. There is a remote likeness between this figure and that of the head of the bird shown in plate CXLV, _d_. Plate CLI, _c_, is a compound figure, with four feathers arranged in two pairs at right angles to a median band. The triangular figure associated with them is sometimes found in symbols of the sun. Figure _d_ is undoubtedly a bird symbol, as may be seen by a comparison of it with the bird figures shown in plate CXXXVIII, _a-f_. There are two tail-feathers, two outstretched wings, and a head which is rectangular, with terraced designs. The cross is triple, and occupies the opposite segment, which is finely spattered with pigment. This trifid cross represents a game played by the Hopi with reeds and is depicted on many objects of pottery. As representations of it sometimes accompany those of birds I am led to interpret the figure (plate CLVII, _c_) as that of a bird, which it somewhat resembles. The two designs shown in plate CLI, _e_, _f_, are believed to be decorative, or, if symbolic, they have been so worn by the constant use of the vessel that it is impossible to determine their meaning by comparative methods. Both of these figures show the "line of life" in a somewhat better way than any yet considered. [Illustration: BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY
