among the Bukidnon of North Central Mindanao. A collection of more 

 than 700 pieces, with photographs, was made from that rapidly chang- 

 ing people. Minor collections were secured from neighboring Mandaya 

 and Manobo tribes. A representative collection and many photo- 

 graphs were obtained from among the Negrito and Bataan. Among 

 the Bagobo, dwelling in four districts around Davao Bay, Southern 

 Mindanao, a collection of 600 pieces fully illustrating their life was 

 made ; in addition 1 2 dozen photographs were taken and measurements 

 made of 50 individuals. Collections are now being made among the 

 Moro of the great Cotabato Valley. Dr. A. B. Lewis proceeded from 

 Huon Gulf, German New Guinea, to Humboldt Bay in August 1909, 

 and thence along the coast to Angriffs Hafen, visiting the coast villages 

 as well as some toward the interior. Using Eitape, Berlin Hafen, as 

 a base, for a couple of months, the neighboring villages were visited, 

 resulting in a collection of 600 specimens with about 80 photographs. 

 Going then to Alii Island, Seleo, Angel and Tumleo Islands were 

 studied, their inhabitants being pre-eminently manufacturing and 

 trading peoples. From Eitape a trip was made along the coast west- 

 ward as far as Aissano, which yielded interesting collections and 

 photographs. From Herbertshohe, Dr. Lewis went with the govern- 

 ment expedition to the south coast of New Britain, visiting en route 

 many north coast villages of that island. Landing at Cape Merkus 

 (Arawe) two months were spent in visiting native villages along the 

 coast, for forty miles in each direction. Returning to Huon Gulf, a 

 stop of two weeks was made at Bukaua and neighboring villages. 

 Then, via Finsch Hafen, Sattelberg, at an altitude of 3,000 feet, 

 among the mountains was visited. Here are Papuan peoples quite dis- 

 tinct from the Melanesians of the coast. Photographs were made and 

 a small collection secured from the Hube, a cannibal tribe living about 

 100 miles inland. From Friedrich Wilhelms Hafen short excursions 

 were made on Siar and Rageta Islands. In May, Potsdam Hafen was 

 reached. Native villages and Vulkan Island were visited, after which 

 headquarters were established on Hansa Bay near A war and other 

 native towns, forming a group of the highest type of culture to be found 

 on the coast of German New Guinea. A month was spent in coast 

 villages east and west of Potsdam Hafen. After some time spent in 

 various native villages, both on the coast and inland, on August 9th, 

 the Kaiserin Augusta River was entered on the steamer Siar. Only 

 a portion of the eight days spent on the river was given to collecting. 

 A study, however, was made of the culture along its banks. After many 

 delays, due to various causes, Herbertshohe was reached near the end
