Enough fragments of one large jar were found to make possible the 

 restoration of the vessel. The chipped-stone tools include small 

 triangular projectile points, random flake-scrapers, blades, and 

 gravers. Among the ground-stone tools were milling stones, ham- 

 merstones, and fragments of celts, or axes. The most unusual 

 artifact recovered from the dig is a small oval limestone-pebble 

 that has on one side an engraving of an animal with an arrow 

 pointed toward it and on the other what may be a crude "stick-man." 



The Bukidnon of Mindanao by Dr. Fay-Cooper Cole, Research 

 Associate in Malaysian Ethnology, was published by the Museum 

 (see Annual Report 1954, page 39). Part of the expense of printing 

 the monograph was borne by the Marian and Adolph Lichtstern 

 Fund for Anthropological Research, Department of Anthropology, 

 University of Chicago. 



Dr. J. M. Wright, Department of Orthodontics, University of 

 Illinois Medical School, is attempting to establish a method of 

 determining a cephalic index from the lateral head X-ray that can 

 be used in studying the living individual to understand maloc- 

 clusion better in relation to physical type. The immediate problem 

 is to try to determine a cephalic index by using a lateral head 

 X-ray oriented on a Rickett's head-holder and by using height and 

 length instead of breadth and length as normally used. Dr. Wright 

 used 125 skulls from the Museum's collection, measured the cephalic 

 index of each skull, and took an X-ray. He plans to determine the 

 index from the X-rays and correlate with the known index. 



Accessions— Anthropology 



Evett D. Hester, Thomas J. Dee Fellow in Anthropology, gave an 

 additional 134 pieces from his collection of rare fourteenth- to 

 eighteenth-century oriental porcelain and pottery, all of it grave- 

 furniture or ceremonial or heirloom pieces recovered in the Philip- 

 pines (see Annual Report 1954, page 39). An outstanding gift is 

 a fine example of an early bronze drum from northern Laos in 

 Indochina presented by Oden Meeker, of New York (see Chicago 

 Natural History Museum Bulletin, July 1956). Miss Elisabeth 

 Telling, of Guilford, Connecticut, presented 45 significant original 

 drawings of native peoples made by her during the past fifteen 

 years in Indonesia and Central America. Two baskets, presented 

 by Miss Elizabeth M. Goodland of Chicago and collected by the 

 Reverend P. Moiket at Upi/ Philippines, are the handicraft of the 

 Tiruray, a pagan group living in Cotabato Province on the island
