[Illustration: FIG. 3. Design on cliff-dwellers cradle.] The only other known cradle of this type was brought to the attention of ethnologists by Dr. W. J. McGee when in charge of the anthropological exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition. This was found in San Juan county, Utah, not far from the Colorado river.[49] This specimen is better preserved than that here figured, but the decoration is practically identical; so near, in fact, that the two might have been made by the same woman. MISCELLANEOUS OBJECTS The stone implements (pl. 17, _c_) consist of axes, pounding stones,[50] and hatchets. On one of the roofs at Kitsiel there was picked up a curved stick[51] identical with those placed by the Walpi Snake priests about the sand-painting of their altar. A good specimen of a planting stick and a rod formerly used as a spindle were found near by; the latter is a perforated disk made of horn. A flute identical with those used at the present day by Flute priests at Walpi was found at Betatakin, thus tending to support the legend that the Flute clan once lived at the latter pueblo. FOOTNOTES: [45] These dishes resemble those sometimes used by the Hopi for sprinkling water on their altars as a prayer for rain. They may have been used also in sifting sand on the kiva floor, to form a layer upon which the sand picture is later drawn with sands of different colors. [46] Small perforated clay disks are not rare here, as in other ruins. They were used in the same way as the horn disk mentioned on page 30.

[49] The finder was Mr. E. B. Wallace. This specimen was owned at one time by Mr. J. T. Zeller, an architect of St. Louis. The writer has been informed that Mr. Zeller sold the cradle and that it is now in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. [50] A common feature of stone mauls is a raised ferrule above and one below the groove to which the handle is attached. [51] These sticks, or “crooks” (_gnela_), found on the Antelope altar in the Walpi Snake ceremony are reported to have been brought to Walpi from Tokónabi. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The route chosen by the author for visiting the ruins of the Navaho National Monument is via Flagstaff and Tuba, the distance being not far from 200 miles to Marsh pass and 10 miles beyond to the largest cliff-dwellings. Although the wagon road is long, requiring a journey of at least five days, it may be traversed with carriage or buckboard, the sandy stretch between Tuba and Red Lake being the most difficult. The trail from Marsh pass to the great cliff-dwellings, although now passable only on horseback, could be made into a wagon road at small expense.
