EDITORIAL WORK 
Mr. Joseph G. Gurley, who was appointed to the position 
of editor for a probationary period during the previous year, 
was permanently appointed on August 16, 1906. 
The editorial work of the year may be summarized briefly 
as follows: The proof reading of the Twenty-fourth Annual 
Report was completed and the work advanced to publication. 
At the close of the year the Twenty-fifth Annual was prac- 
tically finished, with the exception of the presswork, while 
the Twenty-sixth Report was in page form, so that the work 
was practically ready for printing. Bulletin 32 was com- 
pleted and published early in the year, and Bulletin 36 also 
has been issued. Bulletins 33, 34, and 35 are in type, and 
the proof reading on Bulletins 33 and 35 has progressed so far 
that they can be put on the press at an early day. 
For about three months the Bureau has had the efficient 
services of Mr. Stanley Searles, who was courteously detailed 
for the purpose from the proof-reading force of the Govern- 
ment Printing Office. The editor has assisted to some 
extent in the proof reading of the Handbook of American 
Indians, Bulletin 30, which is in charge of Mr. F. W. Hodge. 
PUBLICATIONS 
During the year the Twenty-sixth Annual Report and 
Bulletins 33, 34, 35, and 36 were forwarded to the Public
