and several vegetal and animal substances, the latter including 

 human remains. 



The descriptions by Mr. Holmes are enriched by judicious 

 comparisons and discriminative notes. With the aid of the 

 numerous illustrations, students unable to have access to the 

 National Museum are provided with a large amount of mate- 

 rial for study of the evolution of forms and ornamentation in 

 art, as also for suggestions in mythology and ethnic relations. 



CATALOGUE OF THE COLLECTIONS FROM NEW MEXICO 

 AND ARIZONA, IN 1881, BY JAMES STEVENSON. 



An account has been given above of the field-work of the 

 party in charge of Mr. Stevenson by which this large collec- 

 tion of nearly five thousand specimens has been secured. It 

 is sufficient to characterize it as illustrating the whole social 

 domestic and religious life of one of the most interesting 

 tribes. A valuable feature of the catalogue is the presenta- 

 tion, through the assistance of Mr. Frank H. dishing, of the 

 Indian names of many of the objects, thus through etymology 

 assuring accuracy as to their use and origin.
