vided his time between the Washington office, the Missouri Basin, and 

 the Texas area. 



Mr. Caldwell spent the early months of the fiscal year working on 

 his report on the results of the excavations completed during the pre- 

 vious year at the Allatoona Eeservoir. In November he proceeded to 

 the Buford Reservoir area on the Chattahoochee River northeast of 

 Atlanta where he carried on a survey until April 6. In the latter part 

 of April Mr. Caldwell made an investigation at the site of Fort Char- 

 lotte in McCormick County, S. C, to determine what work might be 

 necessary to obtain full information about it before it is flooded by the 

 waters of the Clark Hill Reservoir. From Fort Charlotte Mr. Cald- 

 well returned to his field base at Athens where he prepared a manu- 

 script "The Booger Bottom Mound : A Forsyth Period Site in Hall 

 County, Georgia." 



At the beginning of the year, Carl F. Miller was carrying on ex- 

 cavations at a site on the east bank of the Roanoke River near Clarks- 

 ville, Va. He continued operations there until August 4, when he 

 returned to Washington. During the months spent in the office, Mr. 

 Miller worked on his section of the report on the excavations at the 

 Allatoona Reservoir in Georgia. On February 28 he returned to 

 Clarksville and resumed investigations in the Buggs Island Reservoir 

 area. Those operations continued until June 20, when he proceeded 

 to Bassett, Va., and made a survey at the Philpott Reservoir on the 

 Smith River. He returned to Washington on June 30. During such 

 times as the Director was absent from the Washington office, Mr. 

 Miller served as Acting Director of the River Basin Surveys. 



Ralph S. Solecki devoted the early months of the year to the com- 

 pletion of reports on work done previously. In October he made a 

 brief investigation of the area at Morgantown, W. Va., where a new 

 navigation lock was under construction. From there he proceeded to 

 the Conemaugh Reservoir on the Conemaugh River in western Penn- 

 sylvania, where he made a reconnaissance of the area that will be 

 flooded. From the Conemaugh project he proceeded to the East 

 Branch Reservoir basin on the Clarion River, also in Pennsylvania. 

 After completing the survey of that area, he returned to Washington 

 and completed his report on the field investigations. 



Dr. Theodore E. White spent the winter and early spring months 

 in Washington studying the materials he had collected during the 

 summer field season and in the preparation of a manuscript "Prelim- 

 inary Analysis of the Fossil Vertebrates of the Canyon Ferry Reser- 

 voir Area." In April he went to Texas where he collected fossils from 

 the Lavon Reservoir on the East Fork of the Trinity River in Tarrant 

 County and from the Garza-Little Elm Reservoir on the Elm Fork of 

 the same river in Denton County. In June Dr. White proceeded from
