Information was furnished during the past year 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, particularly from primary and secondary 

 grades, from Scout organizations, and from the general public, indi- 

 cates a rapidly growing interest in the American Indian. Various 

 specimens sent to the Bureau were identified and data on them fur- 

 nished for their owners.
