Classification of manuscripts. — In the current appropriation for American Ethnology, 

 provision was made for rental of quarters for the use of the Bureau, and in accord- 

 ance therewith the sixth floor of the Adams Building on F street was leased. In addi- 

 tion to increased floor space for the use of its collaborators when not engaged in 

 field work, the Bureau now has two large fireproof vaults, in which has been safely 

 deposited the large body of valual)le manuscript material in its possession. This 

 material, couiprising over 1,400 specific linguistic papers, 60 miscellaneous linguistic 

 papers, and 236 manuscripts on miscellaneous ethnologic subjects, has been tenta-

 alphabetically arranged by catalogue and unit is now being x»repared.

 exhibited by the Bureau at the Chicago Exposition met with high praise from 

 every quarter. A report on these collections is in course of preparation by Mr. 

 Gushing with a view to publication.
