14 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 
States. She found an interesting contrast in bead patterns 
and collected considerable information on their general 
culture. August 14 to 30, 1919, she worked on the botanical 
section of the book on Chippewa Arts and Customs, this 
section comprising the use of plants as food, medicine, and 
charms. 
Mr. David I. Bushnell, jr., continued the preparation of 
his manuscript for the Handbook of Aboriginal Remains 
East of the Rocky Mountains, and in the course of his work 
has prepared a bulletin entitled “ Native Villages and Village 
Sites Hast of the Mississippi,” which has been published as 
Bulletin 69. He has also written Bulletin 71, on “ Native 
Cemeteries and Forms of Burial East of the Mississippi,” 
the final proofs of which have been sent to the printer, but 
the work has not yet been delivered to the bureau. The 
favorable reception of these bulletins, as indicated by the 
many applications made at the office for them, is gratifying. 
Mr. Bushnell also gathered notes, maps, and photographs 
to be used in the preparation of two manuscripts for the 
bureau. One is to have the title, “ Villages of the Algon- 
quian, Siouan, and Caddoan Tribes West of the Mississippi” ; 
the second, “Burials of the Algonquian, Siouan, and Cad- 
doan Tribes West of the Mississippi.”” The former is 
nearing completion, and both should be finished during the 
next fiscal year. 
The results of the archeological work in Texas under 
Prof. J. E. Pearce, for which a special allotment was made, 
are important. Reconnaissance work has been done in the 
eastern, middle, and western parts of the State. Indian 
mounds at Athens, in eastern Texas, have yielded pottery 
akin in form and technique to that of the Mississippi, 
suggesting cultural connections which have as yet not been 
completely traced. In western Texas the group of picto- 
graphs at Paint Rock has been given especial attention. 
They are little known, as they are at present seldom visited 
by tourists. This series of rock pictures is important 
enough to be protected by law. The present owner of the 
ranch upon which they are situated, recognizing their 
importance, will prevent vandalism.
