52 ANNUAL REPOET SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1908. 



ILLUSTRATIONS. 



In the division of illustrations 2,810 photographic prints were made for use 

 in illustrating publications, for correspondents, and for the cataloguing of 

 negatives, which is now well in hand. A large number of prints of Indian 

 subjects were acquired by purchase and filed for reference and for future use 

 as illustrations. The photogi-aphic work included the making of 366 negatives, 

 310 of these being portraits of Indians of visiting delegations. The importance 

 of the collection of portraits thus being brought together is indicated by the 

 list of tribes represented, and is especially emphasized by the fact that these 

 delegations usually consist of the best representatives of the tribes and hence 

 may serve as types of the race. The negatives are 6* by S2 inches in size. 



The tribes represented are as follows: Apache (Apache proper, Arizona and 

 New Mexico; Chiricahua band held as prisoners in Oklahoma); Arapaho of 

 northern Wyoming and southern Oklahoma ; Cheyenne of northern Montana 

 and southern Oklahoma; Chippewa (White Earth, Red Lake, and Mille Lac 

 bands) ; Choctaw, Coeur d'Alene; Creek, Crow, Eskimo of Labrador; Flathead, 

 Iowa, Kickapoo, Omaha, Osage, Oto, Pawnee, Pima, Potawatomi, San Bias 

 (Argona tribe, Rio Diablo, south of Panama) ; Shoshoul, Sioux, Teton Sioux 

 (including Brule, Ogalala, Plunkpapa, and Sihasapa), and Yankton. 



Good progress was made in accessioning and cataloguing the newly acquired 

 books, pamphlets, and periodicals. In all there were received and recorded 

 during the year 392 volumes, 800 pamphlets, and the current issues of upward 

 of 500 serials, while about 600 volumes were bound at the Government Printing 

 Office. The library now contains 14,022 volumes, 10,600 pamphlets, and several 

 thousand numbers of periodicals relating to anthropology, most of which have 

 been received by exchange. The purchase of books and periodicals has been 

 restricted to such as relate to the bureau's researches. 



Respectfully submitted. 



W. H. Holmes, Chief of Bureau.

Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.
