EEPOKT OF THE SECRETAE.T 71 



The third phase of work comprised the preparation for j)ublica- 

 tion of " Menominee Music " and "Acoma Music." 



Frank M. Setzler, assistant curator, division of archeology, United 

 States National Museum, was detailed to the bureau for the purpose 

 of conducting an archeological investigation in Texas. After briefly 

 examining several sites at Victoria and Brownsville along the Gulf 

 coast, he excavated four caves and one rock shelter on the Mollie B. 

 Knight ranch, in Presidio County, and visited several other caverns 

 in the vicinity. 



From one large cave a total of 70 specimens, including baskets, 

 matting, cradles, sandals, beads, corn, gourd shards, and one skele- 

 ton, were recovered. No pottery or evidence of European influence 

 was found. Although the site is only 150 miles east of a marginal 

 Basket Maker culture, no local trace was found of these early south- 

 western people. The material differs in some respects from any other 

 in the Museum and more research will be required before it can be 

 definitely identified.
