32 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 
the Tewa Indians,” by John P. Harrington, is an exhaustive 
memoir presenting many technical difficulties, was nearly 
completed during the year. About two-thirds of the memoir 
is in page form. 
The Thirtieth Annual Report, comprising originally, i in ad- 
dition to the administrative section, three memoirs: (1). 
“Tsimshian Mythology,” by Franz Boas; (2) “ Ethnobotany 
of the Zuni Indians,” by Matilda Coxe Stevenson; (3) ‘An 
Inquiry into the Animism and Folk-lore of the Guiana In- 
dians,”’ by Walter E. Roth. Extensive additions to the 
first-named memoir, received after the report had been put 
into type, necessitated the division of the contents, and ac- 
cordingly this section was transferred to the Thirty-first Re- 
port. Approximately two-thirds of “Tsimshian Mythology” 
has been paged, and the Zuni memoir also, now the first ac- 
companying paper of the Thirtieth Annual, is in process of 
paging. 
To the Thirty-second Report will be assigned a memoir 
entitled “Seneca Myths and Fiction,” collected by Jeremiah 
Curtin and J. N. B. Hewitt and edited with an introduction 
by the latter, the manuscript of which is about ready for 
editorial revision. 
Bulletin 40 (pt. 2), “Handbook of American Indian 
Languages.” The work on this bulletin has been carried 
along steadily under the immediate supervision of its editor, 
Doctor Boas. Two sections—Takelma and Coos—have been 
issued in separate form (aggregating 429 pages), and two 
additional sections, dealing with the Chukehee and Siuslaw 
languages respectively, are in type, the former being “made 
up” to the extent of about 50 pages. 
Bulletin 46, “A Dictionary of the Choctaw Language,” 
by Cyrus Byington (edited by John R. Swanton and Henry 
S. Halbert). The first (Choctaw-English) section of this 
work was completed during the year and is practically ready 
for the press. The manuscript of the second section (English- 
Choctaw directory), comprising 36,008 entries on cards, was 
sent to the Printing Office April 30 to June 13, but no proof 
had been received at the close of the year.
