[Transcriber’s Note: The two “Accompanying Papers” that make up the bulk of this book are also available as individual texts from Project Gutenberg: Victor Mindeleff, _A Study of Pueblo Architecture, Tusayan and Cibola_: e-text 19856 James Stevenson, _The Ceremonial of Hasjelti Dailjis and Mythical Sand Painting of the Navajo Indians_: e-text 19331 A few words in these two papers use some uncommon letters: ā, ē (vowel with macron or “long” mark) Ĕ, ĭ, ŏ (vowel with breve or “short” mark) ⁿ (small raised n). Alternate transcriptions of these words are given at the end of each text. If the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may need to change your text reader’s “file encoding” or “character set” to utf-8 (unicode), or use a different font. As a last resort, use the Latin-1 version of this file instead. Parenthetical question marks are from the original, as are all brackets except footnote and illustration tags. Variant spellings and typographical errors are listed separately after each paper and after the combined Index.] * * * * * EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT of the BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution 1886-’87 by J.
