Two kumpawi^lawen stand by the presents and after praying for a half hour or so take a bit of each kind of food from each basket, wrap the bits in wafer bread, and leave the roll at the foot of the ladder for the supernaturals. The defeated runner has to be "paid" with the presents made by the victor's circle of relatives and friends. Excepted are five baskets, of which one goes to the head kumpawi^lawen, one to his second, one to the war cap- tains, one to the Flint Society and one to the Fire Society.

None of the races is run by moiety or by clan. On the fourth Sunday may be run a race between the married and unmarried men.

The secular officers of Isleta are tabude (governor; tapup\ Keresan and Zufii), two tinyientin (lieutenant governors) and two kaveun (fiscals).

Santa Ana clans are : Dove (hooaka) or Snake which is the most numerous clan, Mouse, Coyote, Lizard, Bear, and Turkey which is the second clan in numbers, White Shell or Turquoise (Keresan, yashje, Mexican, chucheita) 1 Eagle, Corn, Water, Turquoise, Parrot, Fire (only two survivors), Ant. Sun, and Oak are extinct clans. As far as my informant knows, there never were Antelope or Chaparral Cock clans, clans found at Laguna, or a Tansy Mustard (ise) clan, a clan of Acoma, Zufii, and of the Hopi. There is one Badger clansman, his mother from Zufii. 2 In the santu dance where, as usual, the pattern of alternating groups is followed, clan moieties appear. In one moiety are Dove, Mouse, Coyote, Lizard, Bear; in the other, Turkey, White Shell, Eagle, Corn, Water, Tur- quoise, Parrot, Fire. The Ant clan groups with either moiety. 3 Whether or not the moieties figure in other connections I did not learn. There are no clan heads or hano nawai, according to my

1 The ambiguity here comes from the fact that the terms given by my informant for this clan refer to different things hasjef means white-pink shell, and chucheita means turquoise. Chucheita or, as Bandelier gives it, chalchihuite, is, according to Bandelier, a Nahuatl word. (Final Report, Pt. i, pp. 262-3.)

2 All the Badgers of Laguna I know or have heard of are of Zufii descent.

3 In accordance with the Zuni notion that ants are to be associated with all the directions. F. H. Gushing, "Zuni Fetiches," Second Annual Report, Bureau of American Ethnology (1880-1), p. 16; M. C. Stevenson, "The Zufii Indians," Twenty- third Annual Report, Bureau-of American Ethnology, p. 409.
