LVI BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 



PUBLICATION 



Satisfactory progress has been made during the year in the 

 editorial work of the Bureau, wliich has been conducted chiefly 

 by Mr F. W. Hodge. 



The manuscript of the fourteenth annual report was sent to 

 press toward the close of the last fiscal year; the first proofs 

 were received on January 25, 1896, and by the close of the 

 fiscal year the body of the volume was nearly all in type. This 

 report, which is to be i)n])lislied in two volumes, making about 

 1,200 pages, comprises, in addition to the report on the opera- 

 tions of the Bureau and an exhaustive index, three memoirs — 

 "The Menomini Indians", by Walter J. Hoffman, and " Coro- 

 nado's Expedition in 1540-1542", by George Parker Winship, 

 occupying the first part, and the " Grhost-dance Religion", by 

 James Mooney, occupying the second part. This report, like 

 the preceding volumes of the series, will be amply illustrated, 

 and it is expected that it will be ready for distribution before 

 the close of the calendar year. 



Although the manuscript of the fifteenth annual report was 

 transmitted to the Public Printer on June 14, 1895, no text 

 proof was received dm-ing the fiscal year; the jjroofs of the 

 illustrations have, however, been received and approved. The 

 accompanying papers of the fifteenth report comj^rise " Stone 

 Implements of the Potomac-Chesapeake Tidewater Province," 

 by W. H. Holmes; "The Siouan Indians," by W J McGee, a

 memoir on "Siouan Sociology," by James Owen Dorsey; 

 " Tusayan Katcinas," by J. Walter Fewkes, and " The Repair
