AUMINISTRATIVU KEPORT 31 



recasting the memoir. Subsequently, on account of the European 

 war it was found impracticable to get from Miss Freire-Marreco the 

 proof sent to her for correction and in the absence of her revision the 

 task of putting the bulletin into final form has proved difhcult. Half 

 of the material, however, has been paged and it will be possible to 

 complete the work in the near future. 



Bulletin 57. "An Introduction to the Study of the Maya Hiero- 

 glyphs" (Morley). The first proof of this publication bearing the 

 author's corrections reached the bureau the middle of September. 

 Since then two additional proofs have been revised, the character 

 of the material being such as to require great care and exactness in 

 the work. The author is now engaged in a final reading of the pages. 

 Unfortunately the progress of the work has been delayed several 

 months by his absence in Central America. The volume will contain, 

 when completed, about 320 pages, with 32 plates and 85 figures. 



Bulletin 59. "Kutenai Tales" (Boas and Chamberlain). The 

 manuscript of this bulletin was received in March and, after being 

 edited, was placed in the hands of the Public Printer. By the middle 

 of June the first proof, complete (125 galleys), had been forwarded 

 to Dr. Boas. 



Bulletm 61. "Teton Sioux Music" (Densmore). The material of 

 this bulletin, comprismg 1,067 pages of manuscript, and copy for 80 

 plates, 20 text figures, and 263 folios of music, was approved for 

 publication in June, too late for inclusion by the Printmg Office 

 under the bureau's allotment for this fiscal year. 



As during the last few years, the correspondence arising 

 from the large demand for the publications of the bureau 

 has been in the immediate charge of Miss Helen Munroe and 

 Mr. E. L. Springer, of the Smithsonian Institution, assisted 

 during part of the year by Mr. Thomas F. Clark, jr., and 

 later by Mr. William A. Humphrey. The distribution has 

 been made, in accordance with law, by the superintendent 

 of documents on order of the bureau. The total number of 

 publications issued during the fiscal year was 10,185, dis- 

 tributed as follows: 



Annual reports 1, 239 



Bulletms 1 8,515 



Contributions to North American Ethnology 25 



Introductions 8 



Miscellaneous 398 



Total. 10,185
