] The fetich of the spotted or many-colored Mountain Lion (Hâ′k-titä′sh-a-na sú-pa-no-pa _or_ í-to-pa-nah-na-na), of the Upper regions, is also represented by two specimens (Plate IV, Figs. 5 and 6), both offibrous aragonite in alternating thin and thick laminæ, or bands ofgrayish yellow, white, and blue. Fig. 5 is by far the more elaborate ofthe two, and is, indeed, the most perfect fetich in the collection. Thelegs, ears, eyes, nostrils, mouth, tail, anus, and genital organs (ofthe male) are ...carefully carved, the eyes being further elaborated bymosaics of minute turkoises. To the right side of the body, "over theheart, " is bound with blood-blackened cotton cords a delicate flintarrow-point, together with white shell and coral beads, and, at thebreast, a small triangular figure of an arrow in haliotus, or abalone.
The fetich of the black Mountain Lion (Hâ′k-ti tä′sh-a-nashí-k'ia-na) (Pl. IV, Fig. 7) is of gypsum, or white limestone, but hasbeen painted black by pigment, traces of which are still lodged onportions of its surface.
