REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 59 
In her studies of Indian music Miss Frances Densmore made two 
trips to the Standing Rock Reservation, S. Dak. (one in July and 
August, 1913, and one in June, 1914), where she engaged in investi- 
gations at Bullhead, McLaughlin, and the vicinity of the Martin 
Kenel School. This research completed the field work for the pro- 
posed volume of Sioux music, the material for which, subsequently 
prepared for publication, consists of 323 pages of manuscript, 98 
musical transcriptions of songs, 20 technical analyses of songs, and 33 
original illustrations. 
The practical use which musical composers are making of the 
results of Miss Densmore’s studies is very gratifying. Mr. Carl 
Busch has adapted for orchestral purposes four of the songs rendered 
by Miss Densmore and published by the bureau, as follows: (1) Chip- 
pewa Vision, (2) Farewell to the Warriors, (3) Love Song, (4) 
Lullaby. Mr. Heinrich Hammer, of Washington, has composed a 
Sun Dance Rhapsody and a Chippewa Rhapsody. Mr. Charles 
Wakefield Cadman has composed, for the voice, two of the Chip- 
pewa songs, “ From the Long Room of the Sea” and “ Ho, Ye War- 
riors on the Warpath.” Mr. 8S. N. Penfield has harmonized two vocal 
quartets, “ Manitou Listens to Me” and “ Why Should I be Jealous? ” 
For the violin Mr. Alfred Manger has prepared a “ Fantasie on Sioux 
Themes,” and Mr. Alberto Bimboni has well advanced toward com- 
pletion an opera bearing the title “The Maiden’s Leap.” Certain 
of the orchestral arrangements have been played by the Chicago 
Symphony Orchestra (formerly known as the Thomas Orchestra), 
as well as by the symphony orchestras of Washington, Minneapolis, 
and Kansas City. It is interesting to note the demand for Sioux 
themes in advance of their publication. These have been furnished 
in manuscript as far as possible to those desiring them for specific 
and legitimate use. Two of the compositions in the foregoing list are 
based on such themes. 
Work on the volume of Sioux music is approaching completion. 
This will be larger than either of the bulletins on Chippewa music, 
and, while the same general plan has been followed, there will be 
much that is new, both in subject matter and in style of illustration. 
During the year work on the Handbook of Aboriginal Remains 
East of the Mississippi was continued by Mr. D. I. Bushnell, jr., 
under a small allotment from the bureau, and approximately 90,300 
words of manuscript were recorded on cards geographically ar- 
ranged. The entire amount of manuscript now completed is about 
321,000 words, and the bibliography thus far includes 306 titles. As 
a result of the notes received from the Wisconsin Archeological 
Society, through the courtesy of its secretary, Mr. Charles E. Brown, 
of Madison, every county of that State will be well represented in 
the Handbook. It is to be regretted that more information regard-
