  tecture 
  in 
  detail, 
  particularly 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  the 
  modern 
  pueb- 
  

   los, 
  where 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  constructional 
  devices 
  of 
  the 
  old 
  

   builders 
  still 
  survive. 
  The 
  examination 
  of 
  these 
  details 
  will 
  

   be 
  found 
  to 
  throw 
  light 
  on 
  obscure 
  features 
  of 
  many 
  ruined 
  

   pueblos 
  whose 
  state 
  of 
  preservation 
  is 
  such 
  as 
  to 
  exhibit 
  but 
  

   little 
  detail 
  in 
  themselves. 
  

  

  In 
  connection 
  with 
  the 
  classification 
  and 
  arrangement 
  of 
  new 
  

   material 
  from 
  Canyon 
  de 
  Chelly, 
  a 
  paper 
  was 
  prepared 
  on 
  the 
  

   cliff 
  ruins 
  of 
  that 
  region. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Cosmos 
  Mindeleff 
  has 
  been 
  in 
  charge 
  of 
  the 
  modeling 
  

   room 
  during 
  the 
  last 
  year. 
  Upon 
  his 
  return 
  from 
  the 
  field 
  a 
  

   series 
  of 
  models 
  to 
  illustrate 
  the 
  Chaco 
  ruins, 
  architecturally 
  

   the 
  most 
  important 
  in 
  the 
  Southwest, 
  was 
  commenced. 
  Two 
  

   of 
  these, 
  viz, 
  the 
  ruin 
  of 
  Wejegi 
  and 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  small 
  pueblo 
  

   near 
  Pueblo 
  Alto, 
  have 
  been 
  finished 
  and 
  duplicates 
  have 
  been 
  

   deposited 
  in 
  the 
  National 
  Museum. 
  The 
  third, 
  a 
  large 
  model 
  

   of 
  Penasco 
  Blanco, 
  is 
  still 
  uncompleted. 
  All 
  of 
  these 
  models 
  

   are 
  made 
  from 
  entirely 
  new 
  surveys 
  made 
  in 
  the 
  summer 
  of 
  

   1884. 
  The 
  scale 
  used 
  in 
  the 
  previous 
  series 
  — 
  the 
  inhabited 
  

   pueblos 
  and 
  the 
  cliff 
  ruins 
  — 
  though 
  larger 
  than 
  usually 
  adopted 
  

   for 
  this 
  class 
  of 
  work, 
  has 
  shown 
  so 
  much 
  more 
  detail 
  and 
  has 
  

   proved 
  generally 
  so 
  satisfactory, 
  that 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  continued 
  in 
  

   the 
  Chaco 
  Ruin 
  group, 
  bringing 
  the 
  entire 
  series 
  of 
  models 
  

   made 
  by 
  the 
  Bureau 
  to 
  a 
  uniform 
  scale 
  of 
  1 
  : 
  60, 
  or 
  one 
  inch 
  

   to 
  five 
  feet. 
  In 
  addition 
  to 
  this 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  duplicating 
  the 
  

   existing 
  models 
  of 
  the 
  Bureau 
  for 
  purposes 
  of 
  exchange 
  was 
  

   commenced. 
  Three 
  of 
  these 
  have 
  been 
  completed, 
  and 
  two 
  

   others 
  are 
  about 
  half 
  finished. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  E. 
  W. 
  Nelson 
  was 
  engaged 
  upon 
  a 
  report 
  'of 
  his 
  inves- 
  

   tigations 
  among 
  the 
  Eskimo 
  tribes 
  of 
  Alaska. 
  A 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  

   report, 
  consisting 
  of 
  an 
  English-Eskimo 
  dictionary, 
  he 
  has 
  

   already 
  forwarded. 
  

  

  As 
  hereinafter 
  explained, 
  the 
  year 
  was 
  principally 
  devoted 
  

   to 
  the 
  synonymy 
  of 
  the 
  Indian 
  tribes, 
  the 
  special 
  studies 
  of 
  

   several 
  officers 
  of 
  the 
  Bureau 
  being 
  suspended 
  so 
  that 
  then- 
  

   whole 
  time 
  might 
  be 
  employed 
  in 
  that 
  direction.
