in the front of their ceremonial sashes, and the girls the same in the rear. Each virgin is given a sacred cloud vessel, a pottery vase with serrated rim, decorated in cloud and rain sym- bols and tadpoles, and the youths have each a long-necked gourd jug, the bulb of which is covered with cotton netting to which fluffy eagle plumes are tied. A reed is placed in each jug to be used as a sprinkler. One couple now goes... to one sacred spring several miles away, prays, de- posits certain plumes and brings water for the ceremony, whilst the others go to another spring in another direction and do likewise.
While these couples are gone, the singers and dancers sing and dance until midnight, the burden of the songs being prayers that the couples may perform their duties aright with pure hearts that rain and fructification of their crops may be assured. Shortly before midnight the couples return with the sacred water and young corn- stalks with the roots which play an important part in the later ceremon- ials.
