was conduetod by Mv. Ilodj^e, while the editorial super- 

 vision of Bulletin 40, I-Iandl)ook of American Indian Lan- 

 guages, was in charge of Doctor Boas. At the close of the 

 fiscal year the Twenty-seventh Annual Report was nearly 

 ready for the bindery; more than one-third of Bulletin 40, 

 Part 2, was in type (mostly in pages) ; and Bulletin 47, a 

 Dictionary of the Biloxi and Ofo Languages, by Dorsey 

 and Swanton, was in page form. Some progress had been 

 made in the revision of the galley proof of Bulletin 46, 

 Byington's Choctaw Dictionary, a work requiring the ex- 

 penditure of considerable time and labor. Much of Mr. 

 Gurley's time during the year was given to the work of 

 editing and i^roof reading the Twenty-seventh Annual Re- 

 port and its accompanying paper, the monograph on the 

 Omaha tribe, by ]\Iiss Fletcher and Mr. La Plesche, above 

 referred to. The following publications were issued dur- 

 ing the year :
