Martin and his associates (1950b:556-569) have essayed a most Interesting reconstruction of the social organization of the Mogollon Indians of Pine Lawn Valley. It is not my purpose here to criticize this attempt in toto, for I consider it valuable and stimulating, if not proven or provable; nor to offer an alternative reconstruction. However, from the point of view of the total Mogollon cultural pattern, I should like to point out certain discrepancies in the Martin hypothesis and to indicate another approach to the matter that has recently received some attention.
