XXXVI ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 
Mr. Holmes has had charge of such collections of the Bureau 
as were not under the direct supervision of Mr. James Steven- 
son or Prof. Cyrus Thomas. Detailed catalogues of these col- 
lections have not been prepared for publication, but a short list 
of the acquisitions of the year is as follows: 
From Mr. George Hurlbut, of Belvidere, Ill., an additional 
part of a very valuable collection of articles from the ancient 
burial places of Peru has been received. A portion of the 
same collection was presented td the Bureau in 1882, and 
was described, and to some extent illustrated, in the Third 
Annual Report of the Bureau. This second installment com- 
prises a variety of utensils and art products of the ancient 
peoples, the most important being a series of woven fabrics of 
elaborate construction, rich colors, and elegant designs. Ilus- 
trations of these will be published. Gifts of shell beads found 
in the possession of the Abnaki Indians, of Maine, were made 
by Mrs. W. W. Brown, of Calais, Me. Fragments of ancient 
pottery were presented by Mr. Joseph D. MeGuire, of Elli- 
cott City, Md., and a large amount of material has been 
brought in from various sections of the country by the agents 
of the Bureau. The most important of these is a large collec- 
tion of vases and other articles from the Pueblo of Acoma, 
New Mexico. 
Messrs. Vicror and Cosmos MINDELEFr, after their return 
from the field, were occupied in the preparation of a map of the 
Canon de Chelly and its branches from the material obtained. 
A number of the plans of the larger ruins, whose positions and 
relations to the canon are shown on this map, were redrawn 
from the field data. While this work was being done and the 
field notes and material were being arranged and classified, 
the work of modeling the Tusayan villages, which had been 
suspended for the field trip, was again taken up by Mr. Cosmos 
Mindeleff and continued until June, when all other work was 
laid aside for the preparation of the diagrams and working 
drawings necessary for the construction of a new series of 
models illustrating the ancient pueblos and cliff ruins. These 
models formed part of the Government exhibit at the New 
Orleans Exposition.
