authority on the Colonial Period in Peru, continued with his research 

 on archival material in the Department of La Libertad, Trujillo, as 

 well as in the Lima archives. Consultation with students in anthro- 

 pology and history was also maintained. Dr. Kubler returned to the 

 United States in September. A manuscript covering a part of Dr. 

 Kubler's work in Peru, "The Indian Caste of Peru, 1795-1950," an 

 analysis of population and racial attitudes, was submitted for publica- 

 tion in April. 



Ozzie G. Simmons, current representative in Peru, arrived in Lima 

 in November. Mr. Simmons offered a course on American ethnic 

 groups and acculturation in the Peruvian Institute de Estudios 

 Etnol6gicos and began field investigations at the town of Lunahuand. 

 Studies at this community, initiated in February with the aid of a 

 student assistant, have run throughout the year and will extend into 

 1951. Coincident with this research Mr. Simmons is collaborating in 

 a seminar on social anthropological field methods. He has also aided 

 in a questionnaire project conducted by the Peruvian National School 

 of Social Work among groups of highland Indians who ha.ve recently 

 moved to the vicinity of Lima in response to industrial opportunities. 

 Quite importantly, he has been instrumental in advising the Peruvian 

 Ministry of Public Health to add a Peruvian social anthropologist to 

 their staff for work in the Department of lea. This has created an 

 excellent job opportunity for a Peruvian trained by us and has shown 

 the way for further employment of our trainees in governmental 

 departments.
