was given charge of the preparation of the anthropological exhibit. 

 This important cooperation necessitated explorations in Alaska, the 

 United States, Peru, British Guiana, South Africa, Siberia, and other 

 countries, for procuring physical and ethnological material, the latter 

 being shared with the National Museum. As a feature of this coop- 

 eration, there was prepared in Washington a collection illustrative of 

 the science of Physical Anthropology, which is now shown in the 

 San Diego Museum under the direction of the School of American 

 Archeology. 



Anthropological work with the Rockefeller Foundation. — Under 

 the auspices of the Rockefeller Foundation and the Peking Medical 

 College, Dr. Hrdlicka visited several countries of the Far East dur- 

 ing 1920. During this trip he continued studies on the origin of the 

 American aborigines, examination of the oldest skeletal and other 

 human remains in Japan, furthered the interests of medical and 

 physical anthropology in China, and made a visit to the rapidly dis- 

 appearing full blooded Hawaiians. Dr. Hrdlicka assisted in the 

 development of medico-anthropological work at the Union Medical 

 College and the organization of the Anatomical and Anthropological 

 Association of China. 



Work with the Department of Justice. — In the spring of 1916, 

 Dr. Hrdlicka cooperated with the Departments of Justice and In- 

 terior in investigations in which the rights of Indian lands were in- 

 volved. Some three months were consumed in the work and large 

 areas of land restored to their original ownership. 



DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES 



This department cooperates with other Government bureaus, with 

 educational establishments, with publishers and authors, and with 

 trade associations and industrial enterprises. 



The Divisions of Mineral afid Mecltanical Technology are concerned 

 with the interpretation of the efforts of the engineering professions 

 in applying the results of scientific research to industry. To conduct 

 the work, the most logical means is cooperation with industrial enter- 

 prises for the technologic aspects, and with Federal statistical bureaus 

 for the economic aspects. Since the inception of the division, co- 

 operation has been carried on with many firms engaged in the exploi- 

 tation of mineral resources, as well as those engaged in more 

 specialized industrial operations. As an example of educational work 

 mention may be made of cooperation* with the Pennsylvania Depart- 

 ment of Education and Mr. Samuel S. Wyer, of Columbus, Ohio,
