ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT XLI 
of Dr J. Walter Fewkes, descriptions of the T usayan gentes 
and phratries. Much of Mr Hodge’s time was given also to 
directing the transmission of Bureau publications and to the 
editorial work of the oftice. 
Mr James Mooney, who spent the month in the field, was 
occupied chiefly in collecting and arranging material relating to 
a calendar history of the Kiowa. 
An attack of typhoid fever confined Reverend J. Owen 
Dorsey to his home during the month, and deprived the Bureau 
of his valuable services. y 
Work in mythology—Mr Frank Hamilton Cushing completed 
during January the text of the introduction to his memoir on 
“Zuni Creation Myths,” which forms part of the Thirteenth 
Annual Report of the Bureau. 
Mrs Matilda C. Stevenson’s report on the Zuni people, their 
customs and beliefs, was during the month carried forward 
toward completion. 
Work in linguistics—Dr Albert 5. Gatschet reports that there 
ras no alteration in the plan of his study of the Algonquian 
languages, his researches pursuing the same lines as during 
previous months, and his work of extracting material for his 
Shawnee as well as for his comparative Algonquian vocabulary 
proceeding as heretofore. 
During the earlier part of the month Mr Hewitt was 
engaged in translating from the Spanish original the grammar 
of the Tarahumari, by Fray Miguel Tellechea, in furtherance 
of work on the Tubari material of Dr Lumholtz. The re- 
mainder of the month was given to the study of the data 
relating to the relationship of the Seri to the Yuman family, 
the results of the examination (which, however, is not yet 
completed) yielding no sufficient evidence for the inclusion of 
the Seri in the Yuman stock. 
Work in bibliography—My James C. Pilling continued the 
preparation of the bibliography of the languages of Mexico 
and the southern portion of the United States, and his work, 
which during the last ten days of the month was prosecuted 
in the Astor, Lenox, and Historical Society libraries of New 
York city, was marked with gratifying progress.
