ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT ' 23 



the Mississippi, the manuscript material for which, record- 

 ed on cards, now approximates 16,000 words. The collated 

 material has been derived from (1) replies to circular let- 

 ters addressed to county clerks in all of the States east of 

 the Mississippi, (2) communications from various so- 

 cieties and individuals, and (3) publications pertaining to 

 the subject of American antiquities. It is gratifying to 

 state that there are very few areas not covered by the ma- 

 terial already in hand, and it is expected that through the 

 systematic manner in which Mr. Bushnell is prosecuting 

 the work the handbook will be as complete as it is prac- 

 ticable to make it by the time it is ready for publication. 

 The investigations conducted jointly in 1910 and 1911 

 by the bureau and the School of American Archaeology 

 have borne additional fruit. An extended memoir on the 

 Ethiibgeography of the Tewa Indians, by J. P. Harrington, 

 was received and will ajopear as the '* accomi^anjdng pa.- 

 per ' ' of the Twenty-ninth Annual Report, now in press. 

 Three bulletins, namely (No. 54), The Physiography of 

 the Rio Grande Valley, New Mexico, in Relation to Pueblo 

 Culture, by Edgar L. Hewett, Junius Henderson, and 

 W. W. Robbins ; (No. 55) The Ethnobotany of the Tewa 

 Indians, by Barbara W. Freire-Marreco, W. W. Robbins, 

 and J. P. Harrington; and (No. 56) The Etlmozoology of 

 the Tewa Indians, by Junius Henderson and J. P. Har- 

 rington, were also presented as a part of the results of the 

 joint expeditions and are either published or in jDrocess of 

 printing. Mr. Harrington also made jDrogress in the prei^- 

 aration of his report on the Mohave Indians, and Miss 

 Freire-Marreco is expected to submit shortly an extended 

 paper on the Yavapai tribe. There remains to be men- 

 tioned in this connection another memoir, namely, An In- 

 troduction to the Study of the Maya Hieroglyi^hs, by Syl- 

 vanus G. Morley; while not a direct product of the joint 

 work of the bureau and the school, this is in a measure an 

 outgrowth of it. The manusci'ipt, together with the aceom- 

 panyhig illustrations, has been submitted to the bureau, 

 but is now temporarily in the author's hands for slight 

 revision.
