64 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1019. 



can not be confused with those of a hiter period, and it may be neces- 

 saiy 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. FoAvke has thoroughly investigated one of the caves in this 

 region and has prepared an important report on his Avork 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. 

 Sinnnons dealing with the Peyote religion.
