The work of the Bureau of American Ethnology is conducted under act of Con- 

 gress "for continuing ethnologic researches among the American Indians nnderthe 

 direction of the Siuithsonian Institution." 



Two series of puhlications are issued hy the Bureau under authority of Congress, 

 viz, annual reports and bulletins. The annual reports are authorized hy concurrent 

 resohition from time to time and are j)ublished for the use of Congress and the 

 Bureau ; the publication of the series of bulletins was authorized by concurrent 

 resolution first in 1880 and more definitely in 1888, and these also are issued for the 

 use of Congress and the Bureau. In addition, the Bureau supervises the publication 

 of a series of quarto volumes bearing the title, "Contributions to North American 

 Ethnology," begun in 1877 by the United States CTeograi)hical Survey of the Rocky 

 Mountain Region. 



These publications are distributed jirimarily by Congress, and the portions of the 

 editions printed for the Bureau aie used for exchange with libraries and scientific 

 and educational institutions and with special investigators in anthroiiology who 

 send their own publications regularly to the Bureau. 



The exchange list of the Bureau is large, and the product of the exchange forms 

 a valuable ethnologic library independent of the general library of the Smithsonian 

 Institution. This library is in constant use by the Bureau collaborators, as well as 

 hy other anthropologists resident in or visiting Washington. 



The earlier volumes of the annual reports and the first seven volumes of the "Con- 

 tributions to North American Ethnology" are out of print. 



Exchanges and other contributions to the Bureau should be addressed,
