A page contains handwritten notes on both sides, apparently having to do with Hopi clans and possibly, ceremonies. One side contains a two-column table, attributed to 'Hopi Clans and Hopi Kinship' by Robert H. Lowie, 1929. One column is labeled 'Mish.' Benedict's shorthand for Mishongnovi, a Second Mesa pueblo. The other is labeled '1st Mesa,' site of the Walpi Pueblo. Eleven numbered entries on each side contain the names of various clans, sometimes the same on both sides, sometimes different. Some include references to ECP, her abbreviation for Elsie. C. Parsons. The other side of the page is headed '1st Mesa. Where does Sun go? Pumpkin?' It contains notes specifically on lines 8 and 9 of the table, discussing the links between the Snake Clan and the Horn-Flute Clan at First Mesa, which apparently joined about 50 years previously. A parenthetical note quotes Parsons' speculation that they are conceptually related through lightning: snakes being associated with lightning and Flute being or having a cure for 'lightning shock.' The two clans are also noted as the first to arrive at Walpi.
