The demand for the Handbook of American Indians (Bulletin 30) 

 continues unabated, by reason of the wide scope of the work, its 

 popular form of treatment, and its usefulness to schools. There is an 

 increasing demand for publications relating to Indian arts and crafts, 

 and to archeology. The activity in the establishment of organizations 

 of Camp Fire Girls throughout the country has resulted in a flood of 

 requests for information relative to Indian customs, names, etc. 



ILLUSTRATIONS. 



As in the past, the preparation of illustrations for use in connection 

 with the publications of the bureau, as well as the making of photo- 

 graphic portraits of the members of visiting deputations of Indians, 

 continued in the immediate charge of Mr. De Lancey Gill, illustrator, 

 whose work during the year included the making of negatives of 113 

 visiting Indians and of 93 miscellaneous ethnologic subjects; he also 

 developed 298 negatives exposed by members of the bureau in their 

 field work, printed 975 photographs for official publication, exchange, 

 and presentation to Indians, and prepared 105 drawings for repro- 

 duction as illustrations for the publications of the bureau. 



The tribes or pueblos represented by Indians who visited Washing-

 Cochiti, Crow, Isleta, Kiowa^ Osage, Passamaquoddy, Ponca, San

 more important Indians whose portraits were made may be men-

 and Iron Bear (Brule Sioux), Hollow Horn Bear, Eed Cloud, and 

 Eed Hawk (Teton Sioux), Daybwawaindung (Chippewa), and Two 

 Moons (Cheyenne). Many requests are made by correspondents for 

 prints from the large collection of negatives in possession of the 

 bureau, but it has not been possible to supply these, owing to lack 

 of means, although in many cases they are desired for educational 

 purposes. The series of photographs of representative Indians, from 

 55 tribes, which was made during the last fiscal year for special ex- 

 hibition at the New York Public Library, has been borrowed from 

 the bureau by the Public Library Commission of Indiana for exhibi- 

 tion in the public libraries throughout the State. In the work of the
