permit, and at this time the entire report is paged with exception 

 of the list of phico names, 2,650 in niimhcr, and the index. Consid- 

 erable progress has been made in the final reading of the page proof. 

 The number of pages in the volume (estimated) will be 660, with 21 

 plates, 31 maps, and 1 diagram. 



Thirtieth annual report. This report, which contains as "accom- 

 panying papers" "The Ethnobotany of the Zuni Indians," by Mrs. 

 M. C. Stevenson, and "Animism and Folklore of the Guiana Indians/' 

 by Walter E. Koth, has been "made up" and read through three 

 page proofs. At the end of the year the report (453 pages) was prac- 

 tically ready for the bindery. 



Tliirty-first annual report. With this report is incorporated a 

 memoir on "Tsimshian Mythology," by Dr. Franz Boas. Of this 

 material less than half (365 pages) had been paged at the beginning 

 of the fiscal year. With the progress of the work a large amount of 

 new matter has been inserted, necessitating considerable revision 

 from time to time and the reading of several galley and page proofs 

 of the greater part of the memoir. At this writing the make-up has 

 been carried through page 682, and Dr. Boas looks forward to paging 

 the remaining material at an early day. The memoir will contain in 

 all about 850 pages, with 3 plates and 24 text figures. 



Thirty-second annual report. The memoir accompanying this 

 report is entitled "Seneca Fiction, Legends, and Myths," the mate- 

 rial of which was collected by the late Jeremiah Curtin and J. N. B. 

 Hewitt and edited by the latter. The manuscript reached the 

 bureau for publication about the middle of October and when the 

 fiscal year closed more than one-fourth (82 galleys) had been set up. 

 The number of pages will approximate 900. 



Bulletin 40. "Handbook of American Indian Languages," part 

 2 (Boas). During the year two sections of the above-named hand- 

 book have received attention — the Chukchee (Bogoras) and the 

 Siuslaw (Frachtenberg) . After the former had been put into page 

 form to the extent of 50 pages work thereon had to be suspended by 

 reason of the impossibihty of communicating with the author of the 

 section, who is in Russia. The Siuslaw section (75 galleys) is now 

 at the Government Printing Office for paging. Two of the "illustra- 

 tive sketches" of part 2 of tliis bulletin, namely, Takelma (Sapir), 

 298 pages, and Coos (Frachtenberg), 133 pages, have already appeared 

 in separate form. 



Bulletin 55. "The Ethnobotany of the Tewa Indians" (Robbins, 

 Harrington, and Freire-Marrcco). After the manuscript of this 

 bulletin had been prepared by the other authors here named and had 

 passed into galley proof. Miss Freire-Marreco incorporated therewith 

 additional material to the extent of greatly enlarging and practically
