 dian Medicine" (available before December 1961.) 



The nearly 3,900 letters received in the Director's office plus a few 

 hundred received by staff members are a good indication of the con- 

 tinued interest in the American Indian. In addition, several thou- 

 sand letters requesting Bureau publications are received yearly in the 

 Editorial and Publications Division. Many complete sets of the Bu- 

 reau's bibliographies were sent out upon requests from college and 

 university professors and libraries, and to other educational organiza- 

 tions. Approximately 10,200 informational items, including type- 

 script and printed articles, bibliographies, and other leaflets, plus more 

 than 300 photographic lists were mailed from the main Bureau office 

 in response to requests for such materials. Many specimens were 

 mailed in or brought to the office for identification and data on them 

 were supplied. 



Kespectfully submitted.
