researches in Indian linguistics. His work during the period 
mentioned consisted of (1) the preparation of a catalog of the 
Teton-Dakota manuscript of Messrs Bushotter and Bruyier 
in the possession of the Bureau, and (2) the continuation of 
his work on the Winnebago texts and dictionary slips described

Dr Albert 8S. Gatschet continued his study of the Shawnee 
material. Many lexic and grammatic elements were extracted 
for the Shawnee dictionary and grammar, and such of the 
material as will aid in developing the ethnologic study of the
