REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 75 
Institute of Social Anthropology Publ. No. 3. Moche, a Peruvian Coastal 
Community, by John Gillin. 
Institute of Social Anthropology Publ. No. 4. Cultural and historical geography 
of Southwest Guatemala, by Felix Webster McBryde. 
Institute of Social Anthropology Publ. No. 5. Highland Communities of Cen- 
tral Peru: A regional survey, by Harry Tschopik, Jr. 
Publications distributed totaled 12,730. As compared with the 
fiscal year 1944-45, this was an increase of 1,160. 
In addition to the regular Bureau work, the editorial staff conducted 
the editorial work on the publications of the Institute of Social 
Anthropology. 
LIBRARY 
There has been no change in the library staff during the fiscal year. 
Accessions during the year totaled 109. There has been a marked 
falling off in the number of gifts to the library, doubtless due to the 
disturbed condition of the publishing industry following the end of 
the war. Though there is a slight decrease in exchange material in 
the form of books which are entered on the accession book, there has 
been a very great increase in exchange material as a whole. Large 
shipments, covering the period since 1939 or 1940 to date, have been 
received from many of our exchanges in Europe and other parts of 
the world. Many of our sets have thus been brought up to date 
without inquiry on our part. 
The routine of accessioning and cataloging new material has been 
kept up to date. A small amount of work has been possible, also, on 
analytical entries for periodical material. It is hoped that this work 
will soon be brought up to date. 
ILLUSTRATIONS 
E. G. Cassedy, illustrator, spent most of his time from July 1945 
through April 1946 on art work for the Old Apothecary Shop, a new 
exhibit in the National Museum. Other work of routine nature was 
done for the Handbook of South American Indians and for other 
branches of the Institution. 
ARCHIVES 
Miss Mae W. Tucker continued her work of operating and cata- 
loging the manuscript and photographic archives of the Bureau. In 
addition to furnishing material for routine requests for photographs 
and manuscripts, many qualified visitors were received and furnished 
with materials or working facilities. 
The Mohawk Dictionary, copied by Mrs. Erminnie Smith from 
records in Canada, was alphabetized and filed for more ready refer-
