XXVr BUREAU OF AMKRICAN ETHNOLOGY 



The Bureau was also fortunate enough to have the services 

 of Dr A. L. Ivroeber, of the University of Cahfornia, who gen- 

 erously revised the accumulated material pertaining to manj^ 

 of the linguistic families of California, and in addition gave 

 much valuable information respecting the Shoshonean and 

 Yuinan families and the Mission Indians. The remaining 

 Californian stocks were reviewed or revised by Dr P. E. 

 Goddard and Mr S. E. Barrett, also of the Universitj' of 

 California, and by Dr Roland B. Dixon, of Harvard University. 



With the exception of a few articles that had not been quite 

 finished by those to whom the subjects were assigned, the 

 manuscript of the body of the Handbook, recorded on more 

 than 40,000 cards, together with about 800 illustrations, was 

 submitted to the Secretary for transmittal to the Public 

 Printer on July 1, 1905, for publication in two octavo vol- 

 umes as Bulletin 30 of the Bureau. These cards do not 

 include about 37,000 cross-references to the tribal synonyms, 

 nor the bibliography, which are retained for use in reading 

 the proofs of the text. After serving this purpose thej' will 

 be ready to be put in type to appear at the close of the work. 



ARCHEOLOGKAL MAP 



The work of compiling an archeological map of the United 

 States, which had received some attention in previous years, 

 was carried forward with all possible dispatch diu'ing the last

 of the public lands have undertaken to protect the archeolog- 

 ical remains of these lands from despoliation b}' commercial 

 relic hunters and unskilled and unauthorized explorers, and 

 excellent progress in this direction has been made, especially 

 l)y llie Department of the Interior. For j^eai's the Bureau 

 has been collecting data relating to these remains, and when- 

 ever called on has furnished all available information for the 

 use of the departments in carrying out this laudable enter- 

 prise. During the winter months Mr J. D. McGuu-e was 

 engaged in collecting and collating data relating to the
