Anthropology. — One of the most desirable ethnological additions 

 vras a series of costumes, weapons, and utensils — excellent illustra- 

 tions of the arts and industries of recently discovered tribes in the 

 interior of British Guiana, collected by Mr. John Ogilvie. The 

 aborigines of Celebes and Borneo were represented by many import- 

 ant objects assembled by Mr. H. C. Raven and presented by Dr. W. 

 L. Abbott; and those of the Philippine Islands by extensive and 

 varied contributions, including weapons, musical instruments, 

 basliets, costumes, etc., received from Mrs. Caroline E. Bates, Mr. 

 E. H. Haimnond, and the following officers of the United States 

 Army, namely, Maj. Edgar Eussel, Maj. W. T. Johnston, and Capt. 

 J. R. Harris. Baskets, ornaments, and other articles of various 

 Indian tribes of North America, were also given by Mrs. Bates; a 

 number of rare and valuable objects from the Osage Indians were 

 deposited by the Bureau of American Ethnology; interesting ex- 

 amples of art and ethnologica from various parts of the world were 

 presented by Miss Louise Salter Codwise; and costumes and imple- 

 ments from the Blackfeet Indians and the Greenland Eskimo were 

 likewise obtained. 



An extensive collection of archeological material from mounds and 

 ruin sites in Utah, resulting from explorations by ]SIr. Neil M. Judd 

 for the Bureau of Etlinology, is of particular value in aiding to 

 determine the distribution of Pueblo culture toward the north. 

 Other accessions from America consisted mainly of artifacts, includ- 

 ing many rare specimens, from several of the States, and of woven 

 fabrics and pottery from Peru. A gift of Old World antiquities 

 from Miss Codwise was composed principally of Egyptian scarabs, 

 necklaces, and figurines, and Palestinian amulets, while a collection 

 of prehistoric stone implements from Great Britain contained some 

 choice specimens. 



The division of physical anthropology received many skeletons and 

 skulls, in very complete condition, from Mr. Clarence B. Moore, who 

 obtained them at " The Indian Knoll," on the Green River, Ky. ; 

 and a similar collection from Mr. George G. Heye, secured during 

 an exploration of old burial sites in Georgia and Tennessee. Es- 

 pecially noteworthy was an excellent series of skulls and numerous 

 other bones belonging to the period before the advent of the whites, 

 procured in old burial caves in Hawaii by Mr. August Busck.
