106 Report of the President 



collection of study and exhibition material was secured for this 

 Museum ; a life cast of a typical Hawaiian man ready for mount- 

 ing, some fifty plaster face casts of men and women representing 

 the constituent elements of Hawaiian population, including 

 hybrid types; about 1,200 photographs of selected types, etc. 

 The Bishop Museum presented to us a series of skeleton material 

 from Hawaii, with many additional negatives and photographic 

 prints. As a part of the field-work, Mr. Sullivan visited the 

 islands of Lanai, Hawaii, Molokai, Maui, Kanai, and Oahu, 

 examining in all about 1,000 pure-blood Hawaiians and 2,000 

 mixed individuals. In addition, opportunity was taken to 

 examine and measure the 8,000 children in the schools of 

 Honolulu — Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, American, Hawaiian, 

 Hawaiian-Chinese, Hawaiian-North and South European, 

 Hawaiian-White-Chinese, Koreans, Porto Ricans, and Filipinos. 

 These data will not only reveal differences in growth but the 

 character of the somatic mixtures. Finally, the various other 

 field parties of the Bayard Dominick Research returned similar 

 data from Samoa, Tonga, and the Marquesas. It so happened 

 that while Mr. Sullivan was examining the children of Honolulu, 

 Dr. Katherine Murdock, a psychologist, was engaged in a men- 

 tal survey in the schools; Mr. Sullivan cooperated in a joint 

 study of the correlations between mental and physical data 

 among white children. In all, four papers are ready for publi- 

 cation, one on the subject just mentioned, the physical anthro- 

 pology of the Hawaiians, Samoan somatology, and Tongan 

 somatology. 



Three major undertakings occupied the time of Mr. Earl H. 

 Morris, who directs the field-work: the further survey of the 



upper La Plata valley; the discovery of and ex- 

 The Archer animation of a new site on the Navajo Reservation; 

 ton Surve anc * ^ e cont i nuat i° n of work on the Aztec Ruin. 



Early in the year Mr. Morris published a brief 

 paper, summing up the chronological relations of the various 

 cultures so far discovered in the La Plata basin, and thus re- 

 vealed the need of additional confirmative data on the pre-Pueblo 

 period. Accordingly, in the month of August, a special trip was 

 made to the upper valley, resulting in the location of twenty- 

 eight burials of that period and their excavation. The material
