62 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1914. 



PUBLICATIONS. 



The editorial -work of the bureau has been continued by Mr. J. G. 

 Gurley, editor, who has been assisted from time to time by Mrs. 

 Frances S. Nichols. The following publications were received from 

 the press during the year : 



Bullet in 53, "Chippewa Music — II," by Frances Deusmore. 



Bulletin 56, " Ethnozoology of the Tewa Indians," by Junius Henderson and 

 John P. Harrington. 



''Coos: An Illustrative Sketch," by Leo J. Frachtenberg. Extract from 

 Handbook of American Indian Languages (Bulletin 40), part 2. 



The status of other publications, now in press, is as follows: 



The proof reading of the Twenty-ninth Annual Report, the ac- 

 companying paper of which, entitled " Ethnogeography of the Tewa 

 Indians," by John P. Harrington, is an exhaustive memoir present- 

 ing many technical difficulties, was nearly completed during the year. 

 About two-thirds of the memoir is in page form. 



The Tkirtieth Annual Report comprised originally, in addition to 

 the administrative section, three memoirs: (1) "Tsimshian Myth- 

 ology," by Franz Boas; (2) "Ethnobotany of the Zuni Indians," by 

 Matilda Coxe Stevenson; (3) "An Inquiry into the Animism and 

 Folk-lore of the Guiana Indians," by Walter E. Both. Extensive 

 additions to the first-named memoir, received after the report had 

 been put into type, necessitated the division of the contents, and 

 accordingly this section was transferred to the Thirty--first Report. 

 Approximately two-thirds of "Tsimshian Mythology" has been 

 paged, and the Zuiii memoir also, now the first accompanying paper 

 of the Thirtieth Annual, is in process of paging. 



To the Thirty-second Report will be assigned a memoir entitled 

 "Seneca Myths and Fiction," collected by Jeremiah Curtin and 

 J. N. B. Hewitt and edited with an introduction by the latter, the 

 manuscript of which is about ready for editorial revision. 



Bulletin Ifi {pt. 2), "Handbook of American Indian Languages." 

 The work on this bulletin has been carried along steadily under the 

 immediate supervision of its editor, Dr. Boas. Two sections — ■ 

 Takelma and Coos — have been issued in separate form (aggregating 

 429 pages), and two additional sections, dealing with the Chukchee 

 and Siuslaw languages respectively, are in type, the former being 

 " made up " to the extent of about 50 pages. 



Bulletin 46, "A Dictionary of the Choctaw Language," by Cyrus 

 Byington (edited by John K. Swanton and Henry S. Halbert). The 

 first (Choctaw-English) section of this work was completed during 

 the year and is practically ready for the press. The manuscript of 

 the second section (English-Choctaw directory), comprising 36,008 

 entries on cards, was sent to the Printing Office April 30 to June 13, 

 but no proof had been received at the close of the year.
