XLVI BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 
supervision of Mr F. W. Hodge. As other duties permitted, 
Mr Hodge continued extracting and placing on cards material 
relating to the Pueblo Indians and other southwestern tribes. 
The greater part of the work on the cyclopedia performed 
during the year was that of Dr Thomas, who continued and 
nearly completed the revision, extension, and final arrange- 
ment of the voluminous body of material relating to the 
Algonquian Indians, the largest and most diversified of the 
aboriginal stocks of the territory of the United States. In 
his detailed report Dr Thomas acknowledges gratefully the 
facilities afforded by several libraries of the national capital, 
especially the Library of Congress, whose rich store of 
rare literature has been most courteously made accessible 
by Librarian Ainsworth R. Spofford. Some additions to the 
cyclopedia were made also by other collaborators, particularly 
Mr Mooney. 
BIBLIOGRAPHY 
The bibliographic work of the Bureau was interrupted in 
1895 by the death of James C. Pilling, who had prepared a 
series of reports on the literature relating to the languages 
of several aboriginal stocks (which were issued as bulletins 
during preceding years), and who had partially completed a 
similar report concerning the aboriginal languages of Mexico. 
During the last fiscal year an arrangement was made whereby 
this portion, at least, of the bibliographic work may be com- 
pleted. The task was generously undertaken by Mr George 
Parker Winship, librarian of the John Carter Brown Library, 
in Providence, already a contributor of valuable material to 
the Bureau. Mr Winship began operations toward the end of 
the year. ‘The material pertaining to Mexico, brought together 
by Mr Pilling, was transferred to his custody, and by the end 
of the year he was able to report substantial progress in the 
work. 
COLLECTING 
The chief work of the year in this department was that of 
Dr J. Walter Fewkes. Already in the field at the beginning 
of the fiscal year, Dr Fewkes proceeded to an extensive ruin
