group illustrating the life of the tribes living along the Amur 

 river has been prepared and is awaiting a suitable case. 



The Mrs. Morris K. Jesup Expedition. — Early in the year 

 Dr. A. L. Krceber finished his field work in connection with 

 the investigation of the Arapaho Indians, and his collections 

 at present form the main portion of our material from the 

 Indians of the plains. The publication of the results of the 

 important investigations which have been carried on among the 

 Ai-apaho remains to be done, the completed manuscript and 

 illustrations being already in hand. A large group containing 

 many small figures representing the religious ceremony of the 

 Arapaho, known as the " Sun Dance," has been prepared. 



The Huntington Expedition. — The field work of the Hunting-

 provided for the continuance of this work, in which the late 

 Mr. Collis P. Huntington was so much interested.

 by this expedition in former years, in order to get it catalogued 

 and ready for exhibition, field work in the Southwest was 

 largely suspended. Some of the material mentioned in my 

 last report as having been obtained by this expedition has been 

 arranged in the cases in the southwestern portion of the West 

 hall of the second floor. Especial attention may be called to 

 the remarkable collection from the burial caves and cliff houses 

 of the Grand Gulch region in Utah, to the collections from 

 the Zuni and Hopi Pueblos and to the extensive display of 

 turquoise ornaments and other objects from the ruined Pueblo 

 Bonito in the Chaco canon, New Mexico. All the available 

 cases, however, have been filled, and only a very small portion 

 of the Hyde expedition material has been actually placed on 

 exhibition. The Messrs. Hyde have generously provided for
