[3] See A Study of Pueblo Architecture, Tusayan and Cibola, in Eighth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology. The legend was obtained by Mr. A. M. Stephen.
[4] Evidently a mistake in identification of localities. Although the Navaho name Tségi has persisted as the designation of Canyon de Chelly, Arizona, there is little doubt that when the Hopi gave to Stephen the tradition of their former life in “Tségi,” they did not refer, as he interpreted the narration, to what is now called Canyon de Chelly, but to Laguna canyon, likewise bordered by high cliffs, which the Navaho also designate Tségi. The designation Canyon de Chelly was used by Simpson in 1850 (Sen. Ex. Doc. no. 64, 31st Cong., 1st sess.), who wrote (p. 69, footnote): “The orthography of this word I got from Señor Donaciano Vigil, secretary of the province, who informs me that it is of Indian origin. Its pronunciation is chay-e.”—J. W. F.
[5] The circular type disappeared before they arrived in the valley below Walpi. Legends declare that the original Snake kivas were circular, and there are references, in legends of clans other than those that formerly lived in the north, to circular kivas formerly used by the Hopi.

[8] Mr. Douglass has furnished the writer the following data from his report regarding the positions of the most important ruins in the Navaho National Monument:
| LATITUDE | LONGITUDE |
| Kitsiel, 36° 45’ 33” north. | 110° 31’ 40” west. |
| Betatakin, 36° 40’ 57” north. | 110° 34’ 01” west. |
| Inscription House, 36° 40’ 14” north. | 110° 51’ 32” west. |
[9] One of these is designated Inscription House on Mr. Douglass’s map (pl. [22]).
[10] According to one Navaho the meaning of this word is “antelope drive,” referring to the resemblance of the canyon to such a structure.
[11] For photographs of Kitsiel (pl. [1]) and of Inscription House (here pl. [2]), published by courtesy in advance of Mr. Douglass’s report, the writer is indebted to the General Land Office. Acknowledgment is made to the same office for ground plans of Kitsiel and Betatakin, which were taken from Mr. Douglass’s report.
