THE AMERICAN MUSEUM JOURNAL 



Museum, for the purpose of securing to the Museum an adequate 

 representation of the game mammals of the continent. The 

 past season's work has been especially important because it has 

 provided the Museum with fine material from Alaska, a portion 

 of America heretofore practically unrepresented in our collections. 



Through the kindness of Dr. William T. Hornaday, Director 

 of the New York Zoological Park, the Museum receives many 

 valuable specimens of mammals and birds in the flesh. The 

 following have been sent in since the first of January : 



Mammals. — i Brazilian Deer, i young Axis Deer, i New- 

 foundland Caribou, i Elk, i Spanish Goat, 2 American Ante- 

 lopes, I Canada Porcupine, 2 Otters, i Crab-eating Raccoon, i 

 Kinkajou, 2 Marmosets, i Spider Monkey, 3 Entellus Monkeys, 

 3 Cebus Monkeys, i Macacus Monkey, i Cercopithecus Monkey, 

 I Mongoose Lemur. 



Birds. — i Flamingo, i Eagle, 2 Peacocks, i Peacock Pheasant, 

 I Stork. 



Mrs. C. p. Huntington and Archer M. Huntington, Esq., 

 have provided liberally for the continuation of the work begun 

 in 1899 by the Anthropological Department of the Museum 

 among the Indians of California, through the liberality of Mr. 

 Collis P. Huntington. Some of the results of the work already 

 accomplished by the Huntington expedition among the Cali- 

 fornia Indians have been published this winter in the Bulletin 

 of the Museum by Dr. Roland B. Dixon. The "Basketry De- 

 signs of the Indians of Northern California" is the title of the 

 first of the series of publications issued by this expedition. 



Another instalment of Siberian material collected by the 

 Jesup North Pacific expedition was received at the Museum in 

 March. This consists of 135 boxes containing specimens illus- 

 trating the customs of the tribes living on the coast of the Sea of 

 Okhotsk and on the Asiatic coast of Bering Sea. The collection 

 was made by Messrs. Jochelson and Bogoras. The largest object 

 is a great sea-going umiak or Eskimo skin-boat. Among other 

 important specimens in this collection are some bits of ancient 

 pottery from the north coast of the Sea of Okhotsk. At the
