 The original was condemned and destroyed, and a copy was 

 made for the duplicate series. A duplicate was also made of 

 a model of Sichumovi, and the original was put in order and 

 added to the series. A duplicate of a model of the pueblo of 

 Shipaulovi was also finished and added to the same series. The 

 original model of ("asa. Blanca clitf ruin was Avithdrawn from 

 the Museum, and a number of duplicate casts were made, one 

 of which was finished and deposited in the Museum. Dupli-
