modeling room was engaged in making models of the ancient 

 pueblos of the Cliaco, from the plans secured during the pre- 

 ceding summer, as referred to in the report of field work. 

 This work continued until earl)' June, when Mr. C. Mindeleff 

 was again ordered to New Orleans to take charge of the pack- 

 ing and shipment of the exhibits of the Geological Survey and 

 Bureau of Ethnology for their return to Washington and for 

 the installation of a portion of the material at the Louisville 

 Exposition. During the interval from February 1 to June 

 15 Mr. Victor Mindeleff was engaged in the preparation of a 

 report on the architecture of the ancient provinces of Cibola 

 and Tusayan, together with the plans and diagrams necessary 

 for its illustration. This study was based on the large amount 

 of data that had been secured during former field seasons for 

 modeling purposes. 



Rev. J. Owen Dorset, when not in the field, made nearly 

 10,000 entries for the (/llegiha-English dictionary, and pre- 

 pared Ponka and Omalia native texts, with free and interlinear 

 translations, in addition to those found in part 1 of vol. 6, 

 Contributions to North American Ethnology. After Decem- 

 ber 1, 1884. he collated the following vocabularies obtained 

 by him in Oregon, viz: Takelma, Shasti, Applegate Creek, 

 Chasta Costa, Galice Creek, Mulluk, Siuslaw, Lower Umpqua, 

 Yaquina, Klikitat, and one on Smith River, California. He 

 also prepared a Hst of the villages obtained from the tribes at 

 the Siletz Agency, Oregon. 



Mr. Albert S. Gatschet was engaged at the beginning of 

 the fiscal year in revising and perfecting his grammar of the 

 Klamath language of southern Oregon. The phonology was 

 completed and stereotyped, extending from page 200 to 245. 

 He was engaged in correcting proofs of the subsequent section 

 on morphology when he proceeded to the Southwest, as else- 

 where reported, to investigate several languages spoken there, 

 the affinities of which had not before been ascertained. 



Mr. W. H. Holmes, as in previous years, has supervised the 

 illustrations of the Bureau publications. He also continued 

 his archpeologic studies, chiefly in the department of ceramics, 

 the character of which is shown by his papers in this volume.
