 of Baguio, Philippine Islands, and from Dr. Harold C. Conklin, of 

 Columbia University, are 51 cultural objects of the Ifugao, one of the 

 mountain peoples of the Pliilippines. Approximately 854 ethnological 

 specimens from India, Pakistan, Northern Rhodesia, the eastern 

 Congo, the Cook Islands, and the Solomon Islands were procured 

 from various sources under the exhibits modernization program. 



The division of physical anthropology received for the first time a 

 good collection of prehistoric skeletal remains. The collection, as- 

 sembled by Dr. Samuel K. Lothrop and donated by the Peabody Mu- 

 seum, Harvard University, comes from the Venado Beach site located 

 at the Pacific end of the Panama Canal Zone. An important feature 

 of this collection is the presence of a type of cranial deformity here- 

 tofore known mainly from Mexico. A donation of 15 prehistoric 

 Indian skeletons from the W. R. Wmslow site on the Potomac River 

 in Montgomery County, Md., was received from the Southwestern 

 Chapter of the Archeological Society of Maryland. Dr. Dan Morse 

 of Peoria, lU., added two specimens from that State to the division's 

 outstanding collection of skeletal evidence bearing on the history of 

 tuberculosis among the earlier American Indians.

 mand and the Bernice P. Bishop Museum. The Smithsonian Insti- 

 tution-Alan Collins Expedition of 1961 contributed 163 mammals
