ADMINISTRATIVE REPOBT 21 



In all, the manuscripts of seven publications — Bulletins 

 37, 44, 45, 48, 49, 50, and 51 — were prepared for the Govern- 

 ment Printing Office, while proof reading was continued on 

 nine publications — the Twenty-seventh Annual Report and 

 Bulletins 30 (part 2), 38, 39, 40 (part 1), 41, 43, 46, and 47, 

 which were in hand in various stages of progress at the begin- 

 ning of the fiscal year. The number of publications issued 

 was five— Bulletins 38, 39, 41, 48, and 49. The Twenty-seventh 

 Annual Report is in type and a substantial beginning was 

 made toward putting it into page form. The proof of the 

 "accompanying paper" on the Omaha Indians, by Miss 

 Fletcher and Mr. La Flesche, was critically read by the 

 authors and is in condition to be completed in a few months. 

 Bulletins 37 and 43 are practically ready for the bindery, 

 and Bulletins 40 (part 1) and 45 are nearly as far advanced. 

 Bulletin 44 had the benefit of revision by the principal au- 

 thor, Dr. Cyrus Thomas, shortly before his death, and a second 

 galley proof was received. The first galley proof of Bulletins 

 50 and 51 was placed in the hands of the author, Doctor 

 Fewkes, for revision. Owing to the condition of the Bu- 

 reau's allotment for printing and binding, as reported by 

 the Public Printer, and on his suggestion that the work for 

 the fiscal year be curtailed, Bulletins 46 and 47 were not 

 carried beyond the first galley stage. Appended is a list 

 of the publications above mentioned, with their respective 

 titles and authors:
