Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Valuable additions along 

 this line Avere obtained by Doctor Fewkes in the West 

 Indies, by Mrs Stevenson in the Pueblo country, by Doctor 

 Svfanton in Alaska and British Columbia, and by Mr 

 Mooney in Oklahoma and Indian Territory. Seven hun- 

 dred and seventy -eight specimens have been transferred 

 to the National Museum, and such of these as were 

 required for the purpose were sent to the Exposition. 

 Other collections were forwarded directly to the Exposi- 

 tion and have not been transferred. 



In order that collections made by the Bureau may 

 receive immediate attention with respect to preservation 

 from moths and other insects, and with the view of hav- 

 ing them properly and promptly catalogued, they are 

 placed, on arrival in Washington, in the hands of the head 

 curator of anthropology of the National Museum, who 

 has at hand all necessary facilities for preservation and 

 record. It is understood, however, that these collections 

 are at all times to be at the disposal of the Bureau for 

 purposes of study and illustration. In all, about 1,000 

 specimens, mostly of exceptional value, have been acquired 

 during the year.
