Accessions. — While the gifts to the Museum have not been nota- 

 ble, either in character or number, yet, as a result of expeditions and 

 by taking advantage of unusual opportunities to purchase, the num- 

 ber of entries of new material, omitting the Herbarium puchased late 

 in 1898, is very satisfactory. Among the acquisitions of the Institu- 

 tion of more than ordinary interest may be mentioned the following: 



Collection Of Papuan skulls, (by gift from R. Parkinson), Archeo- 

 logical series, Canada, (exchange from David Boyle); 380 prehistoric 

 relics of stone and flint from graves, village-sites, etc., Putnam Co., 

 Ohio, (purchase) ; 200 specimens of ethnological material — Sioux 

 Indians (purchase) ; 388 specimens of quarry and shop-site material, 

 etc., Peoria, I. T., (collected by George A. Dorsey) ; 650 specimens 

 of tools, nodules, coves, photographs, etc., illustrating manufacture of 

 gun flints (exchange — Northwestern University); 1,600 specimens of 

 pottery, stones, ceremonial objects, clothing, etc., illustrating the 

 past and the present of the Hopi Indians (gift of Stanley Mc- 

 Cormick); 103 specimens of ethnological material from the Cheyennes, 

 Arapahoes and other Indians (purchase) ; collection of mural decora-
