Fig. 1282 is given in the last cited volume and page as the symbol of the armadillo of Yucatan.
Fig. 1283.—Dakota drawings.
The drawings of which Fig. 1283 presents copies were made by Dakota tribesmen: a, fox; b, black fox; c, wolf; d, black deer; e, beaver; f, spotted horse; g, porcupine; h, white hawk; i, bald eagle; k, crow; l, swallow; m and n, war bonnet; o, leggins; p, gun; q, pipe.
Fig. 1284.—Ojibwa drawings.
The characters in Fig. 1284 are Ojibwa drawings. With the exception of the last one they are copies of selected sketches made by Gaga Sindebi at White Earth, Minn., in 1891, as parts of a Midē' song.
a, a wolf. The dark chest markings and the large tail are in imitation of those parts of the timber wolf. The coyote is not now found in the region where the author of the song lives; but is more particularly a prairie animal.
b, a wolf. The pronounced jaw indicates his carnivorous nature.
c, a badger. Although the form resembles that of the bear the difference is shown by the darkened body to imitate the gray fur.
