to the published Russian and English series of Chukchee 
texts, which had been published previously by Mr. Bo- 
goras. In the course of the year this manuscript was also 
typewritten and prepared for the printer. In the sum- 
mer of 1912 Doctor Boas met Mr. Bogoras in Berlin and 
discussed with him the revised form of the grammar. At 
the close of the year the results of these discussions were 
being incorporated in the grammar, and it is expected that 
the manuscript will be ready for the printer early in the 
autumn. 
Doctor Boas has followed out the policy of printing 
texts illustrating the grammatical sketches in a series 
which according to the original plan were to have been 
published as bulletins of the bureau, but this plan was 
abandoned for administrative reasons. During the pres- 
ent year the series of Tsimshian texts, illustrating the 
Tsimshian dialect, was published as Volume III of the 
Publications of the American Ethnological Society, and 
the series of Maidu texts as Volume IV of the same 
series. These illustrate languages contained in part 1 
of the Handbook, so that now texts for all languages 
therein treated are available to students. 
The printing of the Coos texts, by Doctor Frachten- 
berg, which are to appear as Volume I of the Columbia 
University Contributions to Anthropology, has almost 
been completed, and the printed matter has been utilized 
to illustrate the sketch of the language. 
The research in Indian musié by Miss Frances Dens- 
more was characterized by the completion of her studies 
among the Chippewa and the beginning of investiga- 
tions along similar lines among the Sioux. Miss Dens- 
more’s field work comprised one month with the Sioux 
on the Sisseton Reservation in South Dakota, about two 
months on Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, 
and a few days on the White Earth Reservation in Min- 
nesota for the final revision of some descriptions and 
translations in her Chippewa manuscripts. The finished 
results submitted during the year comprised material on
