RKPOPvT OF THE SECEETAEY. 25 



Mr. Mooney was very widely read regarding the history of the 

 aborigines north of Mexico, being equaled by few perhaps in this 

 particular field. His information was most extensive, however, re- 

 garding the Indians of the southeastern woodlands and the Great 

 Plains, and he was the leading authority on one tribe in each area, 

 the Cherokee and the Kiowa. Several of Mr. Mooney's investigations 

 published by the bureau are standard works in their si)ecial field. 



He was one of the founders of the American Anthropological As- 

 sociation, a member and ex-president of the Anthropological Society 

 of Washington, and a member of the Mississippi Valley Historical 

 Association. Mr. Mooney's death brings to a premature close a not- 

 able scientific career. 



THOMAS r. HANEY. 



Thomas F. Haney, preparator in the National Museum for over 

 28 years, died October 8, 1921. During his service for the Museum, 

 Mr. Haney constructed many difficult large-size models illustrating 

 the occurrence, mining, and manufacture of various mineral re- 

 sources. His skill and minutely detailed work in this field of educa- 

 tional exhibits will be greatly missed. 



ANDREW L. FANT. 



Andrew L. Fant, watchman, a faithful and efficient employee in 

 the National Museum since 1893 and lieutenant of the watch force 

 since 1903, died on October 6, 1921. 



Respectfully submitted. 



Charles D. Walcott, Secretary.
