nologist in charge, aided largely by Mr. F. W. Hodge and Mr. George M. Wood. 

 As stated in my report for the fiscal year ending Juue 30, 1894, the first proofs of 

 the thirteenth annual report were received from the Public Printer in June; by 

 the begiuning of October the entire volume, with the exception of the administra- 

 tive report and the index, was in page form; the former has since been prepared 

 and transmitted, and the compilation of the index was well under way at the close of 

 the year. 



On June 1 the manuscript of the text and illustrations for the fourteenth annual, 

 and on June 14 the copy for the fifteenth annual were transmitted to the printer, 

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



Proof reading of the bulletin bearing the title Chinook Texts, by Franz Boas, 

 was continued from the last fiscal year (when 176 pages were in type), and carried 

 to completion by the middle of December. The edition of this bulletin was delivered 

 in May, 1895. 



Final proof reading of the bulletin An Ancient Quarry in Indian Territory, by 

 W. H. Holmes, was also completed, and in October the brochure was ready for 

 distribution. 



Early in August the manuscripts of three other bulletins were transmitted to the 

 Public Printer. One of these, the List of Publications of the Bureau of Ethnology, 

 by F. "YV. Hodge, was received shortly afterward, and in November the edition was 

 delivered. In September the first proofs of Archeologic Investigations in James 

 and Potomac Valleys, by Gerard Fowke, were received. By the close of the year 

 the proof reading was completed, and the edition was delivered by the Government 

 Printing Office in May, 1895. During the same period proof of the bulletin entitled 

 Siouan Tribes of the East, by James Mooney, was read, and the edition received also 

 in May.
