Island. The copying has been made possible through the 
courtesy of Mr. George Parker Winship, librarian, who 
not only has placed this valuable manuscript at the dis- 
posal of the bureau for this purpose, but has kindly per- 
mitted his assistant, Miss Margaret Bingham Stillwell, 
to prepare the transcript, and personally has supervised 
the making of photostat copies of part of the manuscript, 
especially that devoted to the text portion. During the 
year Miss Stillwell finished and submitted the transcript 
of 295 pages, representing pages 20 to 77 of the original.

information respecting aboriginal sites, but furnished the
