While skinning and quartering the game he takes care to cut out the _tragus_ or little inner lobe of its ear, the clot of blood within the heart (ä′-te mul ú-li-k'o-na), and to preserve some of the hair. Before leaving, he forms of these and of the black paint, corn pollen, beads of turkois or turkois dust, and sacred shell or broken shell and coral beads before mentioned, a ball, and on the spot where the animal ceased to breathe he digs a grave, as it were, and deposits therein, with prayer-meal, this strange mixture, meanwhile saying the following prayer: Si!
