MISCELLANEOUS 



Dr. Frances Densmore, Dr. John R. Swanton, and Dr. Antonio 

 J. Waring, Jr., continued as collaborators of the Bureau of American 

 Ethnology. 



During the year information was furnished by members of the 

 Bureau staff in reply to numerous inquiries concerning the American 

 Indians, past and present, of both continents. The increased number 

 of requests from teachers of primary and secondary grades and from 

 Scout organizations indicates a rapidly growing interest in the American 

 Indian throughout the country. Various specimens sent to the 

 Bureau were identified and data on them furnished for their owners. 



Respectfully submitted.
