ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 23 
Such grammatical forms as could be obtained indicate that 
Sutaio sheds little or no light on the divergent Algonquian 
type of the Cheyenne language. 
Returning to Tama to renew his Fox studies, Doctor 
Michelson succeeded in elucidating the social organization 
almost to completeness. It appears that the two major 
divisions of the tribe are not purely for rivalry in athletics, 
but rather are ceremonial. Doctor Michelson was successful 
also in obtaining the very long myths of the culture hero and 
the Mother of all the Earth. It is evident that the actual 
Fox society still corresponds in a measure to that given in the 
myths. 
In October Doctor Michelson proceeded to Kansas to in- 
vestigate the Sauk and Fox of the Missouri. A reconnois- 
sance only was made here, and some of the Fox material 
obtained at Tama was translated. In November he re- 
turned to Washington, and in January, 1914, visited the 
Carlisle Indian School for the purpose of studying special 
points of grammar and phonetics with some of the Sauk 
and Fox pupils. Thence he made a trip to New York City, 
taking with him one of the pupils for the purpose of con- 
sulting Dr. Franz Boas, honorary philologist of the bureau, 
on certain mooted points pertaining to the Fox language. 
While in New York a few tracings were made with the 
Rousselot apparatus. 
In May Doctor Michelson again visited Carlisle for the 
purpose of making a translation of the story of a sacred 
bundle of the Fox Indians, which he has recently procured. 
Toward the end of the fiscal year Doctor Michelson de- 
voted some time to the problem whether the Yurok and 
Wiyot languages of California were Algonquian, as had been 
recently claimed, and reached the conclusion that the existing 
evidence does not justify such a classification 
SPECIAL RESEARCHES 
Work on the Handbook of American Indian Languages 
was continued under the personal direction and editorship of 
Dr. Franz Boas, honorary philologist. Part 2, which is in 
preparation, is to contain grammatical sketches of the
