information of great value. Mr. H. W. Krieger carried on field 
work among the Indians of the State of Washington, and on the 
coast of southeastern Alaska, through a cooperative arrangement 
with the Bureau of American Ethnology. Mr. H. B. Collins, jr., 
under the same auspices, visited a number of Indian village sites 
in Mississippi and Louisiana to study ancient Choctaw, Attacapa, 
and Muskhogean cultures. 
Investigations at Pueblo Bonito under the auspices of the National 
Geographic Society by Mr. Neil M. Judd, curator of American 
archeology, were continued for another season since it had not been 
practicable to complete the work in five years as originally con- 
templated. Mr. Judd left for the site of the excavations in May and 
will continue his work through the summer. Mr. Judd, as chairman 
of the Research Committee of the Archaeological Society of Wash- 
ington, guided researches carried on by Dr. Manuel Gamio, for the 
society at pre-Columbian village sites in the highlands of Guate- 
mala. 
Under grants from the O. C. Marsh and Joseph Henry endowment 
funds of the National Academy of Sciences, Secretary Walcott, 
assisted by Mrs. Walcott, continued field work in the early geological 
strata of Canada during the season of 1925, beginning at Lake 
Louise Station in Alberta on July 9. Work this year included dis- 
covery of new fossil deposits in the great lower Paleozoic section 
north of Bow Valley, and in the lower Ordovician rocks of the John- 
ston-Wild Flower Canyon Pass section. Results from this work 
have been considerable though the season was unfavorable because 
of forest fires, whose smoke hindered photographic work, and fre- 
quent snow falls that interfered with field investigations. 
Dr. Charles E. Resser and Dr. E. O. Ulrich were members of the 
Smithsonian-Princeton expedition to Europe during the summer of 
1925 to study important outcrops of the lower Paleozoic beds. The 
route included more than 7,500 miles by automobile through Eng- 
land, Wales, Scotland, the Scandinavian countries, Germany, Czecho- 
slovakia, Austria, Switzerland, and France. As a result of this 
work many important fossils were secured and arrangements were 
perfected for valuable exchanges. 
During August and a part of September, 1925, Dr. R. S. Bassler, 
in cooperation with the Tennessee Geological Survey, continued his 
geological studies in the central basin and highland rim areas of 
Tennessee. His work this season covered stratigraphic surveys of 
approximately 250 square miles divided among four areas. Mr. B. 
R. Pohl was occupied for several weeks in 1925 in critical studies 
of the Devonian formations in the State of New York. This work 
was continued in May and June, 1926, in western New York and 
in Ontario with resultant information that enables a more correct
