The body of data in hand relating to the Indians probably 

 sin-passes that heretofore obtained relating to any primitive 

 people, but still falls short of the rounding out that should 

 characterize the work of the American nation, dealing as it 

 does with a race and a culture which are rapidly disappearing. 



During the }'ear researches were carried on in Arizona, 

 New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, South 

 Carolina, Indiana, and Oregon, and were incidentally 

 extended to the Argentine Republic, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, 

 California, Washington, and British Columbia.
