history. Seven deal largely (8 of them almost wholly) 
with the classification of the tribes; almost all contain 
some cyclopedic material, 1 being devoted to it chiefly, 
while 18 others have a large amount of such material; 3 
deal principally and 9 largely with history and tradition ; 
and 3 treat of Indian relations with the whites, as shown 
through land cessions and reservations. Of those treat- 
ing of aboriginal activities, 3 deal chiefly and 12 largely 
with social organization; 50 are devoted to arts and 
industries, and 20 more contain considerable material on 
this subject; 40 are devoted mainly to linguistics, about 
39 to mythology and folklore, and a number of others 
contain material on both these topics. The whole con- 
stitutes a record of great practical value to those dealing 
with the interests of the native tribes and is of the utmost 
importance to students of the science of man. 
The Nineteenth Annual Report, Bulletins 25 and 27, 
and a sample of style of the Handbook of Indian Tribes 
(250 copies printed by the Smithsonian Institution for 
the use of collaborators) have been issued during the 
year; the Nineteenth Annual in October, 1902; Bulletin 
25 in June, 1903; Bulletin 27 in January, 1903, and the 
pamphlet early in the same year. The Twentieth, 
Twenty-first, and Twenty-second Annual Reports are in 
press, the first being almost completed; the Twenty-third 
Report, containing Mrs M. C. Stevenson’s memoir on the 
Zuni Indians and Dr Frank Russell’s paper on the Pima 
Indians, are nearly ready for transmission to the Publie 
Printer. <A collection of Haida Texts, by Dr J. R. Swan- 
ton, and a series of papers on Mexican and Mayan 
Antiquities, History, and Calendar Systems, by Eduard
