OF THE BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY XXXV 
that the reverse may sometimes be the case, and both to a far 
more elaborate and complex extent than can here be illustrated 
by quotations from Mr, Cushing’s abundant yet unfinished 
notes. 
Mr. James C. Pitiine continued the preparation of the Lin- 
guistic Bibliography, and proof-sheets of pages 561-1040 were 
received from the printer. Copies of these sheets were dis- 
tributed as heretofore, and much assistance was rendered by 
Senor Joaquin Garcia Icazbalceta, of the City of Mexico, and 
Drs. J. Hammond Trumbull, of Hartford, Conn., J. G. Shea, 
of Elizabeth, N. J., and D. G. Brinton, of Media, Pa. 
During November and December, 1883, Mr. Pilling made a 
trip to Hartford for the purpose of visiting the library of Dr. 
Trumbull, where a number of new titles and much interesting 
information were obtained. On his way to Washington a very 
profitable week was spent in the library of Dr. Brinton. The 
valuable linguistic material relating to that portion of North 
America lying south of the United States which had been col- 
lected with much labor by Dr. Berendt had fallen, by pur- 
chase, into the hands of Dr. Brinton, and proved to be one of 
the richest of the repertories utilized by the compiler of the 
work. 
Mr. Caarves C. Royce continued his work upon the His- 
torical Atlas of Indian Affairs, the character of which has been 
set forth in former reports and also appears in the introduc- 
tory pages of his paper on the “Cherokee Nation of Indians” 
in the present volume. 
Mr. Wituram H. Hotmes, in addition to his charge of the 
preparation of illustrations for the publications of the Bureau, 
has continued the archeologic studies begun in previous years, 
confining his investigations more especially to ceramic art and 
ornament. 
In the latter part of 1884 he was assigned to the duty of 
preparing an ethnologic and archzeologic exhibit for the 
World’s Industrial Exposition at New Orleans. This work 
was supplemented by the preparation of minor displays for 
the expositions at Cincinnati and Louisville.
