 This paper is an exhaustive mono- 

 graph on the " Chilkat blanket," an 

 exquisite piece of weaving in wool, 

 harmonious in coloring, and original 

 in design, which forms the dis- 

 tinctive ceremonial robe of the sev- 

 eral tribes of the North Pacific coast. 

 The paper begins with the tradi- 

 tional and actual history of the 

 blanket, which is followed by a dis- 

 cussion of the technic. The designs 

 are explained by Dr. Franz Boas. 

 Mr. Emmons's material was col- 

 lected from Chilkat sources almost 

 exclusively and forms a valuable 

 contribution to our knowledge of the 

 textile works of the American In- 

 dians.

 The bulletin is a catalogue of the 

 ruins in the region mentioned in the 

 title and embodies plans and descrip- 

 tions of the locations of various an- 

 tiquities, mainly discovered by the 

 author during explorations carried 

 on under the auspices of the Na- 

 tional Museum during 1901, 1903, 

 1905, collections from which are in 

 the National Museum. It is pre- 

 ceded by a -short resume of the 

 geogi'aphic history of the ancient 

 and recent inhabitants and the cul- 

 ture of the region. The ruins are 

 •described in some detail and are 

 located on a map. There is also a 

 bibliography. Much of the work was 

 rendered possible by the generous 

 cooperation with the Museum of Mr. 

 P. G. Gates, of Pasadena, Cal. 



" In a few instances papers which were published prior to this fiscal year are 

 included, having been omittted inadvertently from previous reports.
