REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 67 
From July 1, 1945, to June 30, 1946, Dr. Roberts served as vice 
chairman of the division of anthropology and psychology of the 
National Research Council. 
During the absences of the Chief, Dr. Roberts was Acting Chief of 
the Bureau. 
Dr. John P. Harrington, ethnologist, spent the early part of the 
fiscal year in Washington, D. C., where he produced a Kiowa grammar 
of 405 manuscript pages and wrote 8 articles for scientific periodicals. 
During part of this period he was still engaged in work for the Bureau 
of Censorship. 
Dr. Harrington left Washington February 11, 1946, for Clovis, 
N. Mex. There he interviewed Mr. Scheurich, grandson of Governor 
Bent, New Mexico’s first Governor, and about 80 years of age. From 
Clovis, Dr. Harrington went directly to Gallup, N. Mex., where he con- 
tinued his studies of Navaho phonetics. From Gallup he went to 
Albuquerque, N. Mex., where he worked with Mr. Shupla, expert 
speaker of the Hano language, which is related to Tewa. From Al- 
buquerque he went to Santa Barbara, Calif., where he continued his 
Chumashan studies, and was engaged in this work at the close of the 
fiscal year. 
Dr. Henry B. Collins, Jr., ethnologist, resumed his research on Es- 
kimo archeology, which had been largely suspended during recent 
years because of his duties as Assistant Director, and later Director, 
of the Ethnogeographic Board. On December 31, 1945, the Board was 
formally dissolved, but on decision of the sponsoring agencies—the 
three research councils and the Smithsonian Institution—Dr. Collins 
continued operation of the office for an additional 6 months. The his- 
tory of the Ethnogeographic Board, written by Dr. Wendell C. Ben- 
nett, was prepared for publication, and a Board project for a survey 
of wartime Government documents was begun January 1, 1946, under 
the direction of Dr. Homer G. Barnett, assisted by Walter B. Green- 
wood. The report on this project has been prepared by Dr. Barnett 
and will be published, with bibliography, in the near future. 
Dr. Collins attended several meetings of the Board of Governors of 
the Arctic Institute of North America in Montreal, and contributed 
the section on anthropology for “A Program of Desirable Scientific 
Investigations in Arctic North America,” issued as Bulletin No. 1 of 
the Arctic Institute. Several book reviews were also prepared for the 
United States Quarterly Book List and other scientific journals. 
As a member of the Committee on International Cooperation in 
Anthropology of the National Research Council, Dr. Collins assembled 
from committee records and other sources information on the activi- 
ties of anthropological societies, universities, and museums in Scan-
