ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT. 15 
Miss Densmore likewise submitted much new manuscript 
material on the music of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Pawnee. 
With this addition her account of the Mandan-Hidatsa music 
contains 340 pages, more than 40 illustrations, and two new 
forms of graphic representation of their progression. This 
article is now ready for publication. 
An important field of aboriginal music thus far not suffi- 
ciently investigated is among the Pawnee. While engaged 
in the study of the music of this tribe at Pawnee, Okla., 
Miss Densmore witnessed a Hand Game, the Buffalo, Lance, 
and two Victory dances, and later recorded on the phono- 
graph the numerous songs sung at the three first gatherings. 
This material, with musical transcription tabulated and 
descriptive analyses, has been purchased by the bureau. 
Dr. Ale’ Hrdlitka, curator of physical anthropology, was 
detailed to make an examination of the archeological remains 
of southwestern Florida, especially of the shell heaps along 
the coast south of Key Marco, a region very little explored 
by archeologists and one of the least-known sections of that 
State. In spite of difficulties, Doctor Hrdli¢ka’s field work 
was successful. He visited several groups of shell heaps of 
large size as yet unrecorded and opened up a most instruc- 
tive field for future exploration in a report which has been 
presented for publication. He also made highly important 
observations on physical features of the remnants of Indians 
that still inhabit the little-known regions of Florida. 
Mr. David I. Bushnell, jr., continued the preparation of 
manuscript for the Handbook of Aboriginal Remains East of 
the Mississippi, adding various notes to the manuscript. 
He likewise added about 30 pages to the manuscript entitled 
“Native Villages and Village Sites East of the Mississippi,” 
now being printed as Bulletin 69. During the same period 
he completed a manuscript bearing the title “ Native Ceme- 
teries and Forms of Burial East of the Mississippi,” which is 
to appear as Bulletin 71 of the bureau series. 
With an allotment from the bureau Mr. Gerard Fowke has 
been engaged in special archeological investigations in the 
Ozark region of central Missouri. His careful detailed studies 
have been confined to the numerous caves in that region.
