MISCELLANEOUS 



Dr. Frances Densmore, Dr. John R. Swanton, Dr. Antonio J. 

 Waring, Jr., and Ralph S. Solecki continued as collaborators of the 

 Bureau of American Ethnology. Dr. John P. Plarrington is continu- 

 ing his researches with the Bureau as research associate. On April 12, 

 1955, Sister M. Inez Hilger, an ethnologist and a teacher at the School 

 of Nursing, Saint Cloud Hospital, Saint Cloud, Minn., was appointed 

 an honorary research associate of the Smithsonian Institution. 



Information was furnished during the past year by members of the 

 Bureau staff in reply to numerous inquiries concerning the American 

 Indians, past and present, of both continents. The increased number 

 of requests from teachers, particularly from primary and secondary 

 grades, from Scout organizations, and from the general public, indi- 

 cates a continuously gi'owing interest in the American Indian. Vari- 

 ous specimens sent to the Bureau were identified and data on them 

 furnished for their owners. 



Respectfully submitted. 



M, W. Stirling, Director, 



Dr. Leonard Carmichaei.,
