FOOTNOTES
[1] Zuñi have been studied by Mr. F. H. Cushing, who joined the tribe for the purpose.
[2] Underground Cells, Spanish Estufas, were circular, without doors or windows, and had a kind of stone table, or altar, in them. One at Taos was surrounded with a stockade, and entered through a trap-door.
[3] The Mandans say that the roots of a grape-vine, having penetrated into their dark abode, revealed to them the light of the upper world. By means of this vine, half the tribe climbed to the surface. Owing to the weight of an old woman the vine broke, leaving the rest entombed as before.
[4] The Pimos live along the Gila, having moved up from the Gulf Coast within fifty years. They are a pastoral and agricultural people.
[5] Montezuma of the traditions is not the Montezuma of Spanish-conquest celebrity.
[6] Mayor and Constable. The first is called an al´cal´de, the second an al´gua´zil.
