degree of culture as those above described. In all a collection of 

 more than 500 objects was gathered during the course of the season's 

 work. 



A pleasing coincidence resulting from Mr. Judd's Fillmore investi- 

 gation was the fact that the guide he engaged had been employed in 

 the same capacity by Dr. Edward Palmer, one of the National 

 Museum's most indefatigable collectors, during the latter's expedi- 

 tion of 1872. 



The archeological data collected by Mr. Judd during his two brief 

 expeditions to western Utah are sufficient to warrant the extension 

 of the northern limits of the area known to have been occupied by 

 the ancient Pueblo peoples. Further work, however, is urgent, since 

 that already accomplished has not only contributed certain valuable 

 facts to Southwestern archeology, but it has shown also the proba- 

 bility of finding, in the unknown desert regions of that section, a solu- 

 tion of some of the vital questions with which American anthropology 

 has labored for many years. 



By reason of the fact that Mr. James R. Murie has been engaged 

 by the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, in 

 connection with its ethnologic researches pertaining to the Plains 

 Indians, his work of recording the rites and ceremonies of the Pawnee 

 Tribe came to a close, and tentative arrangements have been made 

 whereby the American Museum will complete the investigation and 

 the results published by the bureau. Dr. Clark Wissler, curator of 

 anthropology of the American Museum, has undertaken this task. 



Dr A. L. Kroeber, of the University of California, continued the 

 preparation of the Handbook of the Indians of California for pub- 

 lication by the bureau, and nt this writing it is believed that the 

 manuscript, with the accompanying maps and illustrations, will be 

 submitted for publication before the close of the calendar year.

The large collection of manuscripts in possession of the bureau 

 was augmented by the following principal items, which do not in- 

 clude manuscripts in process of preparation by members of the
