MISCELLANEOUS 



Dr. Frances Densmore, Dr. John R. Swanton, Dr. Antonio J. War- 

 ing, Jr., and Ralph S. Solecki continued as colhiborators of the Bureau 

 of American Ethnology. 



On April 30, 1954, Dr. John P. Harrington retired after 39 years' 

 service as ethnologist on the staff of the Bureau. Upon his retire- 

 ment he was appointed research associate of the Smithsonian Institu- 

 tion and will continue his linguistic studies in that capacity. 



Information was furnished during the past year by members of 

 the Bureau staff in reply to numerous inquiries concerning the Amer- 

 ican 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, indicates a rapidly growing interest in the American Indian. 

 Various specimens sent to the Bureau were identified and data on them 

 furnished for their owners. 



Respectfully submitted. 



M. W. Stirling, Director. 



Dr. Leonard Carmichael, 



Secretary, Smithsonian Institution.
