ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 31 
both Chippewa and Sioux music. Two papers on Chip- 
pewa studies were presented, one entitled ‘‘ Further 
Analyses of Chippewa Songs,’’ the other bearing the 
title ‘‘ Deductions from the Analysis of Chippewa 
Music.’’ In addition Miss Densmore finished about 100 
pages that included additional reference to the bibliog- 
raphy of the subject, a more complete explanation of 
minor points, some linguistic analyses, and slight changes 
in the analysis of individual songs to conform with pres- 
ent methods—all this was complete for publication when 
submitted. Her paper on ‘‘The Sun Dance of the Teton 
Sioux,’’ including 33 songs, could be published in its pres- 
ent form, but it is deemed desirable to add a structural 
analysis of the songs similar to that accompanying the 
Chippewa material. 
Additional illustrations for the Chippewa studies have 
been submitted during the year, also adequate illustrations 
for the paper on the Sun dance of the Sioux. With few 
exceptions these illustrations are photographs taken 
especially for the work, many being pictures of old cere- 
monial articles used in the Sun dance. Considerable at- 
tention also has been given to the collecting of specimens 
having an interest in connection with the work. 
Mr. W. H. Holmes, head curator of the department of 
anthropology of the United States National Museum, has 
continued, as opportunity afforded, the preparation of the 
Handbook of Archeology commenced by him while chief 
of the bureau. The main body of the research work in 
connection with this Handbook has been completed, but 
much remains in the way of literary investigation and in 
the preparation of illustrations. While no time can yet 
be fixed for the completion of the work, Mr. Holmes hopes 
to finish the manuscript and the illustrations for the first 
volume before the summer of 1913. 
Good progress has been made in transcribing the manu- 
seript French-Miami dictionary, by an unknown author 
but attributed to Pére Joseph Ignatius Le Boulanger, in 
the John Carter Brown Library at Providence, Rhode
