﻿REPORT 
  OF 
  THE 
  SECRETARY. 
  25 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Mooney 
  was 
  very 
  widely 
  read 
  regarding 
  the 
  history 
  of 
  the 
  

   aborigines 
  north 
  of 
  Mexico, 
  being 
  equaled 
  by 
  few 
  perhaps 
  in 
  this 
  

   particular 
  field. 
  His 
  information 
  was 
  most 
  extensive, 
  however, 
  re- 
  

   garding 
  the 
  Indians 
  of 
  the 
  southeastern 
  woodlands 
  and 
  the 
  Great 
  

   Plains, 
  and 
  he 
  was 
  the 
  leading 
  authority 
  on 
  one 
  tribe 
  in 
  each 
  area, 
  

   the 
  Cherokee 
  and 
  the 
  Kiowa. 
  Several 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Mooney's 
  investigations 
  

   published 
  by 
  the 
  bureau 
  are 
  standard 
  works 
  in 
  their 
  special 
  field. 
  

  

  He 
  was 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  founders 
  of 
  the 
  American 
  Anthropological 
  As- 
  

   sociation, 
  a 
  member 
  and 
  ex-president 
  of 
  the 
  Anthropological 
  Society 
  

   of 
  Washington, 
  and 
  a 
  member 
  of 
  the 
  Mississippi 
  Valley 
  Historical 
  

   Association. 
  Mr. 
  Mooney's 
  death 
  brings 
  to 
  a 
  premature 
  close 
  a 
  not- 
  

   able 
  scientific 
  career. 
  

  

  THOMAS 
  F. 
  HANEY. 
  

  

  Thomas 
  F. 
  Haney, 
  preparator 
  in 
  the 
  National 
  Museum 
  for 
  over 
  

   28 
  years, 
  died 
  October 
  8, 
  1921. 
  During 
  his 
  service 
  for 
  the 
  Museum, 
  

   Mr. 
  Haney 
  constructed 
  many 
  difficult 
  large-size 
  models 
  illustrating 
  

   the 
  occurrence, 
  mining, 
  and 
  manufacture 
  of 
  various 
  mineral 
  re- 
  

   sources. 
  His 
  skill 
  and 
  minutely 
  detailed 
  work 
  in 
  this 
  field 
  of 
  educa- 
  

   tional 
  exhibits 
  will 
  be 
  greatly 
  missed.
