LXXXVIII REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY 



this manner several hundred new titles have been added to 

 tlie main catalog- during the year. For his painstaking- and 

 imtiring patience in this tedious task, Mr Pilling is receiving 

 high praise. The press reviews of the stock bibliographies 

 already issued indicate the regard in which they are held, for 

 their incomparable completeness, by students in all parts of 

 the world. 



Dui-ing the last year there was issued a Bibliografi'a Espanola 

 de Lenguas Indigenas de America, by the Count of Vifiaza, 

 bearing the imprint Madrid, 1892. Althoug-h issued years after 

 the appearance of Mr Filling's "proof sheets," and although the 

 compiler of the Bibliografia had unusual facilities, among them 

 access to the archives of Spain — an advantage enjoyed liy few 

 foreigners — but seventy-five titles not already contained in 

 Mr Filling's catalog were found in the Vinaza work. 



The month of August was taken up by Mr Trilling with an 

 examination of the plate proofs of the Ijibliographv of the 

 Salishan language, then ready for press, but little correction 

 worthy of notice was necessary. The bulletin, which com- 

 prises 86 pages and 4 facsimiles, was delivered by tlie Public 

 Printer in the middle of November. 



During November work was renewed on the Wakashan 

 bibliography. A trip extending over a few days was made to 

 Lenox and Astor libraries, New York city; some new material 

 was obtained and defective titles were corrected. The work was 

 forwarded to the Public Printer in January, and hv the close 

 of March the proof reading was finished. This bibliography, 

 which was ready for distribution early in I\Ia,y, comprises 70 

 pages and 2 facsimiles. During the proof reading of the Waka- 

 shan biljliography the preparation of the bibliography of the 

 Shahaptian languages was begun, and at the close of the fiscal 

 year was in an advanced stage of progress.
