XXII REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY 



to Holbrook, Arizona, and preliminary reports indicate that his 

 work is now organized and beginning to yield valuable results 

 in the form of materinl for reports, as well as in the form of 

 valuable and sometimes iniique collections. 



Work in sifnoni/ini/ — Mi- James Mooney spent the earlier 

 portion of the month partly in collecting and revising material 

 for the Synonymy, partly in preparing for a trip to Oklahoma 

 for the purpose of collecting additional material from various 

 Indian ti'ibes, notably the Kiowa. Subsequently Mr Mooney 

 enjoyed a short vacation. 



Mr F. W. Hodge continued work on the Synonymy, making 

 a careful examination of Bandelier's monographs of southwest- 

 ern history and archeology, by which considerable progress 

 was made in the location of Pueblo settlements not previously 

 identified. Final descriptions of the Tiwa and Piro tribes 

 (including- their history from 1540) were prepared, and several 

 minor and collateral subjects were elaborated. 



Work hi mijtliologii — During the earlier part of the month 

 Mrs Matilda 0. Stevenson continued the elaboration of mate- 

 rial relating to the Zuni for early publication. During the 

 later half she began revision of the proofs of a memoir on the 

 Sia Indians, which constitutes the leading "accompanying 

 paper" of the Twelfth Annual Report of the Bureau. The 

 illustrations of this memiMr are completed, and a third of the 

 text has been composed. 



Throughout the month Mr Frank Hamilton Cushiu"- has 

 been occupied in the arrangement of exhibits for the A^'ork^s 

 Columbian Exposition, under the immediate supervision of the 

 Director. 



Work in linguistics — Mr J. Owen Dorsey continued the 

 arrangement of Biloxi texts, with interlinear and free English 

 translations and notes, adding many pages of Biloxi phrases, 

 making a total of 245 typewritten foolscap pages, which are 

 substantially ready for the printer. Progress was also made 

 in the preparation of sli})S for the Biloxi-English dictionary. 

 In addition, Mr Dorsey C(irrected considerable portions of the 

 galley-proof and second-page revise of Riggs' "Dakota Gram- 

 mar, Texts and Ethnography," forming volume ix of Contri-
