enter immediately after P[=a]-oo-t[=i]-wa.  All these, including P[=a]-oo-t[=i]-wa, enter head foremost; the head touches the stone slab over the fire, and, completing a somersault, they vault into the room on all fours and in like manner pass to the right of the kiva and around to their places.  P[=a]-oo-t[=i]-wa is followed by the Sae-lae-m[=o]-b[=i]-ya of the North and others in proper order and rapid succession, the hind one always hopping into the foot and hand prints of the former.  In the two kivas mounds of sand have been laid for the K[=o]k-k[=o] and each one sits upon his mound.  These mounds are some eighteen inches in diameter and a foot in height (Plate XXIII).  When all have taken their places the Sae-lae-m[=o]-b[=i]-ya of the North arises and taking the wand from his mound walks to the group immediately to the right of the ladder as one enters.  Holding the wand between his hands, he goes to each child and blows four times upon the wand, at the same time extending it toward the mouth of the child, who draws from it each time the sacred breath which passes from the mouth of the K[=o]k-k[=o] over the plumes.  The [t]S[=i]-[t]s[=i]-[t]ki carries the rabbit in addition to the wand, and over them he passes the sacred breath of the little grandfather.  The godparent covers the eyes of the child with his hand, for the children must not look upon the K[=o]k-k[=o] near by.  The Sae-lae-m[=o]-b[=i]-ya of the North is followed by the Sae-lae-m[=o]-b[=i]-ya of the West and others, all in turn going to each child; as each one completes the round he places his wand in his belt, stands in the center of the kiva, and turns a somersault over the fire, striking his head on the fire slab as before, and so leaves the kiva feet foremost.

The K[=o]-l[=o]-oo-w[)i]t-si now appears at the hatchways.  He is brought by the priest of the K[=o]-l[=o]-oo-w[)i]t-si and the Soot-[=i]ke.  The high priest, the priest of the bow, and priestess of the earth advance to the hatchway, each holding a large earthen bowl, and catch the water poured from the mouth of the K[=o]-l[=o]-oo-w[)i]t-si.  Each guardian then fills the small bowl which he carries with the holy water and, drinking a portion of it, gives the remainder to the boy to drink.  The bowl which contains it is a gift from the godfather.  The boy sprinkles the corn stacked in his house with this water.  After the water is exhausted from the large bowls a blanket is held by four men to catch the seeds of all the cereals which are sent up from the abdomen of the K[=o]-l[=o]-oo-w[)i]t-si.  These are taken from the blankets by three priests and placed in their own blankets, which rest over the left arm, and they, passing around, distribute the seeds to all present.  The sand of the fallen mounds is gathered in a blanket and deposited in the river, to be carried to the home of the K[=o]k-k[=o].  The boys now return to their homes, accompanied by
