content: On each card, a maximum of 9 lines of information, partly in Zuni, have been entered in a consistent order, but unlabled as to subject. The apparent identifications are as follows: (1) Name of individual (2) Clan (3) Fraternity or society, e. g., Ne'-we-kwa (4) Not identified. Like (3), often not filled in for young individuals. (5) Sex (6) Age (7) Not identified. Most cards have one of three entries here: Ta'i-a, Hee-she-ta-tsi' na-kwin, or Keia'p-kwai-na-kwin. A few have two of these terms. (8) Occupation (9) Residence, consisting of a name in Zuni, followed by a number (which may have been keyed to a map, although one has not been located), sometimes followed by a location in English, such as "North side." Cards for the same residence are grouped together.
