REPORT OF THE SECRETARY. 63 



Bulletin 55, " Ethnobotany of the Tewa Indians," by Wilfred W. 

 Eobbins, John P. Harrington, and Barbara Freire-Marreco. After 

 this bulletin was in type it was found advisable to incorporate a con- 

 siderable amount of valuable material, subsequently gathered and 

 kindly offered by Miss Freire-Marreco. The change involved recast- 

 ing in a large measure the original work. The second galley proof 

 is in the hands of Miss Freire-Marreco for final revision. 



Bulletin 57, "An Introduction to the Study of the Maya Hiero- 

 glyphs," by Sylvanus Griswold Morley. The manuscript and illus- 

 trations of this memoir were submitted to the Public Printer the 

 latter part of April. Engraver's proof of the illustrations, with the 

 exception of a few pieces of color work, have been received and 

 approved. Owing to the heavy pressure of public business, the 

 Printing Office had been unable to furnish proof of the letterpress by 

 the close of the year. 



Bulletin 58, " List of Publications of the Bureau of American 

 Ethnology." The page proof of this bulletin is in the hands of the 

 printers for slight correction, preparatory to placing it on the press. 



The total number of publications of the bureau distributed during 

 the year was 12,819, classified as follows : 



Report volumes and separate papers 2, 810 



Bulletins 9,943 



Contributions to North American Ethnology 22 



Introductions : 5 



Miscellaneous publications 39 



Total : 12,819 



As during several years past the extensive correspondence arising 

 from the constant demand for the publications of the bureau has 

 been in immediate and efficient charge of Miss Helen Munroe and 

 Mr. E. L. Springer, of the Smithsonian Institution, assisted by Mr. 

 Thomas F. Clark, jr. The distribution of publications ha« been 

 made in accordance with law and with entire satisfaction by the 

 office of the superintendent of documents on order of the bureau. 



ILLUSTRATIONS.

 bureau, the making of photographs of the members of delegations of 

 Indians visiting Washington, and the developing and printing of 

 negatives made by the staff of the bureau during the prosecution of 

 their field work have been in charge of Mr. DeLancey Gill, illustrator, 

 assisted successively by Mr. Walter Stenhouse and Mr. Albert Sweeney. 

 In addition the numerous photostat copies of manuscripts and books, 

 aggregating about 2,500 exposures, have been made under Mr. Gill's
