LIV BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 
Bureau and now in preparation for publication, and for estab- 
lishing a foundation for further researches. 
Publication—TVhe composition of the Thirteenth Annual 
Report is completed and nearly all of the matter is stereo- 
typed. The closing pages of the body of the volume are 
now in the form of third revise. 
The Fourteenth Annual Report was on May 27 made ready 
for transmission for publication. The report comprises two 
accompanying papers. The first of these is the monograph 
on the Menomini Indians by Dr W. J. Hoffman, already 
mentioned. It contains a historical sketch of the tribe, with 
special reference to early contact and treaties with the whites, 
together with a full account of the habits, customs, and beliefs 
characterizing the tribe. It contains also a brief vocabulary. 
The second of the accompanying papers is by Mr George 
Parker Winship, of Harvard University, entitled ‘The Coro- 
nado Expedition in 1540-1542.” Coronado was the first white 
man to visit a large area in southwestern and central United 
States and northwestern Mexico, and the accounts of his 
chronicler, Pedro de Castaneda, of the tribes have always, in 
so far as they have been accessible, been found singularly 
accurate and trustworthy. Unfortunately, Castaneda’s record 
has not hitherto been accessible to English-reading students, 
and the existing French translation contains essential errors. 
Mr Winship has with great labor prepared careful translations 
of the Castaneda and other documents, prefaced by an his- 
torical account which greatly enhances the value of the work, 
and this it is now a pleasure to offer students in connection 
with the Fourteenth Annual Report of the Bureau. The paper 
is illustrated by reproductions of early maps required to eluci- 
date the texts, and also by photographs of pueblos, ete, made 
by officers of the Bureau, also introduced for the purpose of 
rendering the original account intelligible and vivid. These 
illustrations were furnished by Mr Hodge, who has otherwise 
aided Mr Winship in the preparation of his memoir. 
Mr McGee has been oceupied in part in arranging and 
editing the material for the Fifteenth Annual Report, which is 
now nearly ready for transmission.
