50 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1919. 
can not be confused with those of a later period, and it may be neces- 
sary to discover with them bones of extinct animals. No examina- 
tion of a cavern is complete unless a depth is reached where glacial 
deposits are undeniably of such age as to antedate the possible ap- 
pearance of man upon the scene. The Ozark region promises im- 
portant revelations in the study of prehistoric man in America. 
Mr. Fowke has thoroughly investigated one of the caves in this 
region and has prepared an important report on his work which will 
later be published by the bureau. He has also transmitted to the 
National Museum a collection which is the largest yet obtained from 
this locality. The results of the work thus far are technical and can 
not be adequately stated in this place, but are not only very important 
additions to the archeology of the region investigated but also highly 
significant in comparative studies of ancient man in North America. 
MANUSCRIPTS. 
In addition to the manuscripts submitted for publication by the 
bureau there was also obtained by purchase an article by Mr. C. S. 
Simmons dealing with the Peyote religion.
