Mr. Nels C. Nelson, assistant curator in anthropology, has just returned from 

 an archajological expedition to the Southwest. This expedition confined its work 

 almost entirely to the Rio Grande drainage. A systematic search for archaeological 

 sites was begun at Ysleta del Sur, a few miles below El Paso, and completed northward 

 to the latitude of Santa Fe. Within this section of the drainage 1L5 sites of more or 

 less interest were located and about half of these were inspected. Actual excavations 

 were conducted in two localities. First a group of seven large Tanos pueblo ruins, 

 located on the border of the Galisteo Basin twentj'-five miles south of Santa Fe, were 

 worked to the extent of determining their age and cultin-e relations; and later one 

 entire Jvoresan pueblo ruin, located on the Jemez National Forest seven miles north-
