EEPOKT OF THE SECRETARY. 57 



Bulletin 61. "Teton Sioux Music" ( Densmore ) . The material of tliis bulle- 

 tin, comprising 1,067 pages of manuscript, and copy for SO plates, 20 text 

 figures, and 263 folios of music, was approved for publication in June, too 

 late for inclusion by the Printing Office under the bureau's allotment for this 

 fiscal year. 



As during the last few years, the correspondence arising from the 

 large demand for the publications of the bureau has been in the im- 

 mediate charge of Miss Helen Munroe and Mr. E. L. Springer, of 

 the Smithsonian Institution, assisted during part of the year by Mr. 

 Thomas F. Clark, jr., and later by Mr. William A. Humphrey. The 

 distribution has been made, in accordance with law, by the superin- 

 tendent of documents on order of the bureau. The total number of 

 publications issued during the fiscal year was 10,185, distributed as 

 follows : 



Annual reports 1, 239 



Bulletins 8,515 



Contributions to North American Ethnology 25 



Introductions 8 



Miscellaneous 398 



Total 10,185 



This total shows a decrease of 2,634 volumes in comparison with 

 the year 1913-14, due largely to the retention in the transmission of 

 certain publications to Europe by reason of the war. 



ILLUSTRATIONS. 



The preparation of illustrations for the publications of the bureau 

 and of photographic portraits of the members of visiting Indian 

 deputations has continued in charge of Mr. De Lancey Gill, illus- 

 trator, assisted by Mr. Albert Sweeney. The photographic work 

 during the year may be classed as follows : 



Portrait negatives of visiting delegations (Crow, Osage, Chippewa, and 



Sioux Tribes) 10 



Negatives of ethnologic subjects to illustrate publications 52 



Development of negatives exposed by field parties 548

Photographic prints for exhibition purposes 115 



Small photographic prints distril)uted chiefly for scientific purposes 350 



Drawings prepared for illustrations 30 



Photostat copies (pages) of books and manuscripts 1,452 



In addition Mr. Gill gave the usual attention to the critical exami- 

 nation of engraver's proofs of illustrations designed for the publica- 

 tions of the bureau, submitted by the Public Printer. 



In the last report mention was made of a series of photographs 

 of Indian subjects that has been exhibited successively by the New 

 York Public Library, the Library Commission of Indiana, and the 

 Providence Public Library. In September, 1914, in response to the
