The editor continued to serve as secretary to the Smithsonian ad- 

 visory committee on printing and publication until March 1, 1931, 

 when the committee was dissolved by the reorganization of the edi- 

 torial department of the Institution mentioned earlier in this report. 

 Four meetings were held and 88 manuscripts were acted upon. The 

 membership at the last meeting was as follows: Dr. Leonhard 

 Stejneger, head curator of biology. National Museum, chairman; Dr. 

 William M. Mann, director. National Zoological Park; M. W. 

 Stirling, chief. Bureau of American Ethnology; Dr. R. S. Bassler, 

 head curator of geology. National Museum; W. P. True, editor of 

 the Institution, secretary; and Stanley Searles, editor of the Bureau 

 of American Ethnology. 



Since the editorial reorganization, manuscripts come directly to 

 the editor of the Smithsonian Institution with the recommendation 

 of the head of the publishing bureau, who has taken expert advice as 

 to their merit and suitability for printing. 



Respectfully submitted.
