54 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1907. 
the proof reading on Bulletins 33 and 35 has progressed so far that they can 
be put on the press at an early day. 
For about three months the Bureau has had the efficient services of Mr. 
Stanley Searles, who was courteously detailed for the purpose from the proof 
reading force of the Government Printing Office. The editor has assisted to 
some extent in the proof-reading of the Handbook of American Indians, Bulletin 
30, which is in charge of Mr. F. W. Hodge. 
PUBLICATIONS. 
During the year the Twenty-sixth Annual Report and Bulletins 33, 34, 35, 
and 36 were forwarded to the Public Printer. Bulletins 31 and 32 were pub- 
lished in July. Part I of the Handbook of American Indians (Bulletin 30) 
appeared in March and the Twenty-fourth Annual Report in May. One thou- 
sand copies of the List of Publications of the Bureau (Bulletin 36) and 500 
copies of a special article on Indian missions were issued in June. Fifteen 
hundred copies of the Twenty-fourth Annual Report and the same number of 
Bulletin 30, Part I, and Bulletin 32 were sent to regular recipients. About 
1,500 copies of Bulletin 30, Part I, and 200 copies of the Twenty-fourth Annual, 
as well as numerous bulletins and separates, were distributed in response to 
special requests, presented for the most part by Members of Congress. 
The distribution of publications was continued as in former years. The great 
increase in the number of libraries in the country and the multiplication of de- 
mands from the publie generally have resulted in the almost immediate exhaus- 
tion of the quota of volumes (3,500) allotted to the Bureau. Few copies of any 
of the reports remain six months after the date of issue. 
LIBRARY. 
The library remains in charge of Miss Ella Leary, who was able to bring the 
accessioning and cataloguing of books, pamphlets, and periodicals ump to date. 
In all, there have been received and recorded during the year 760 volumes, 1,200 
pamphlets, and the current issues of upward of 500 periodicals, while about 500 
volumes have been bound at the Government Printing Office. The library now 
contains 13,657 volumes, 9,800 pamphlets, and several thousand copies of peri- 
odicals which relate to anthropology. The purchase of books and periodicals 
has been restricted to such as relate to anthropology and, more especially, to 
such as have a direct bearing on the American aborigines. 
COLLECTIONS. 
The eollections of the year comprise large series of objects obtained by Dr. 
J. Walter Fewkes, in his excavations at Casa Grande Ruins, Arizona, conducted 
under the immediate auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, and by Mrs. M. C. 
Stevenson in Zufi and Taos pueblos, New Mexico. 
Seme of the minor collections are a cache of stone knife blades from the 
vicinity of Tenleytown, District of Columbia, obtained through the kindness of 
Mr. C. C. Glover; a series of relics (fragments of pottery) from the temple of 
Diana at Caldecote, presented by Mr. Robert C. Nightingale; relics from the 
shell heaps of Popes Creek, Maryland, presented by Mr. S. H. Morris, of Faulk- 
ner, Maryland; and a number of stone implements and unfinished soapstone 
utensils from the ancient quarries on Connecticut avenue extended, Washington, 
District of Columbia, collected by Mr. W. H. Gill.
