OF THE BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY. XIX 
Fremont, an Omaha Indian, came to Washington in October, 
1888, and until February, 1889, assisted Mr. Dorsey in the revis- 
ion of the entries for the (legiha-English Dictionary. Similar 
assistance was renderd by Little Standing Buffalo, a Ponka 
Indian from the Indian Territory, in April and May, 1889. 
Mr. Dorsey also completed the entries for the (@egiha-English 
Dictionary, and a list of Ponka, Omaha, and Winnebago per- 
sonal names. He translated from the Teton dialect of the 
Dakota all the material of the Bushotter collection in the Bu- 
reau of Ethnology, and prepared therefrom a paper on Teton 
folklore. He also prepared a brief paper on the camping 
circles of Siouan tribes, and in addition furnished an article on 
the modes of predication in the Athapascan dialects of Oregon 
and in several dialects of the Siouan family. He also edited 
the manuscript of the Dakota grammar, texts, and ethnography, 
written by the late Rev. Dr. 8. R. Riggs, which has been pub- 
lished as Volume vit, Contributions to North American Eth- 
nology. In May, 1889, he began an extensive paper on Indian 
personal names, based on material obtained by himself in the 
field, to contain names of the following tribes, viz: Omaha and 
Ponka, Kansa, Osage, Kwapa, Lowa, Oto and Missouri, and 
Winnebago. 
Mr. Aubert 3. Garscuet’s office work was almost entirely 
restricted to the composition and completion of his Ethno- 
graphic Sketch, Grammar, and Dictionary of the Klamath 
Language of Oregon, with the necessary appendices. These 
works have been published as Parts 1 and 2, Vol. m1, of Con- 
tributions to North American Ethnology. 
Mr. JEREMIAH CurTIN during the year arranged and copied 
myths of various Indian families, and also transcribed Wasco, 
Sahaptin, and Yanan vocabularies previously collected. 
Mr. James Mooney, on his return from the Cherokee reserva- 
tion in 1888, began at once to translate a number of the prayers 
and sacred songs obtained from the shamans during his visit. 
The result of this work has appeared in a paper in the Seventh 
Annual Report of the Bureau entitled ‘Sacred formulas of the 
Cherokees.” Considerable time was devoted also to the elabora- 
tion of the botanic and linguistic notes obtained in the field. In
