mens. The Institution boro llio ontiro expense of a few of tliese 

 expeditions. For the cost of the others, in part at least, it is indebted

The ref]^ions visited by the year's field expeditions included China, 

 Alaska, Canada, the West Indies, South America, Africa, Europe, 

 the Philippines, and Siam, as well as 13 localities in the United

 Kathbone Bacon Travelling Scholarship; anthropological studies in 

 Alaska by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka and Mr. Henry B. Collins, jr.; an 

 extended botanical exploring trip in Amazonian Peru and Brazil, 

 by Mr. Ellsworth P. Killip; and three separate expeditions to the 

 island of Santo Domingo, namely, Mr. E. C. Leonard's botanical 

 exploration of northwestern Haiti, Mr. Herbert W. Krieger's archeo- 

 logical work in the Dominican Republic, and Mr. Arthur J. Poole's 

 explorations in Haitian caves. 



Brief accounts of all of these expeditions, fully illustrated, 

 appeared in " Explorations and Field-Work of the Smithsonian 

 Institution in 1929," Smithsonian Publication No. 3060, and notices 

 of some of them will be found in the reports of certain of the bureaus 

 under the Institution's direction, appended hereto. 



COOPERATIVE ETHNOLOGICAL AND ARCHEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS 



In 1928 Congress authorized the appropriation of $20,000 for 

 cooperative ethnological and archeological investigations in the 

 several States. The Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution was 

 designated to approve the investigations proposed, and if found 

 desirable, to allot from the money appropriated a sum equal to that 

 raised for the purpose by any State educational institution, or 

 scientific organization in the United States. He was named also 

 to direct the work and to divide the results thereof. Fifteen allot- 

 ments for approved investigations have been made during the year, 

 as follows :
