MISCELLANEOUS 



Dr. John R. Swanton, Dr. John P. Harrington, Dr. A. J. Waring, 

 Jr., and Ralph S. Solecki continued as research associates of the 

 Bureau of American Ethnology. 



Dr. Frances Densinore, who had been a collaborator of the Bureau 

 for a period of 50 years, died June 5, 1957, at her home in Red Wing, 

 Minn., at the age of 90. Shortly before her death she corrected the 

 proof of her last bulletin for the Bureau entitled "Music of Acoma, 

 Isleta, Cochiti, and Zufii Pueblos," which will be distributed in Au- 

 gust 1957. Thirteen of her papers on Indian music were published 

 by the Bureau as complete bulletins, five as anthropological papers,

 in answer to requests for information on the Bureau's photographic 

 and manuscript collections. There continued to be a popular de-

 teachers — particularly of primary and secondary grades — from Scout 

 and other civic organizations, and from the general public. Infor-
