PREFACE TO INDIAN CATALOGUE. 



The following series of Indian subjects is made up principally of the 

 valuable additions which have been made to the original collections of 

 this survey, through the munificent liberality of Wm, Blackmore, est]., 

 of England, who has contributed them gratuitously for the advancement 

 of ethnological studies. 



The collection comprises about one thousand negatives, representing 

 sixty-live tribes, and every possible phase of feature and mode of life. 



The original collection of this survey, which has formed the nucleus 

 about which to gather others, now numbers about two hundred nega- 

 tives, chiefly scenes and studies among their habitations in the wilds of 

 the far west. 



• The contributions of Mr. Blaekmore comprise, fust, a collection of 

 over four hundred negatives, by Schindler, of Washington, 1). C, who 

 had gathered them from various sources, and which go back to the 

 days of the daguerreotype, twenty-five years ago; second, a collection 

 of about forty-five negatives, made to his order, of the Pueblos, Apaches, 

 and Navajoes, in New Mexico, in 1871; third, a series of over three, 

 hundred very valuable negatives, purchased from Alex. Gardner, esq., 

 of Washington, D. 0., embracing all the prominent individuals who have 

 visited their Great Father upon delegations during tin 1 last ten years. 



During the past season other delegations have been secured by this 

 survey, in negatives by Bell, Ulke, and Gardner. 



Additions are being constantly made to the collections, both through 

 the operations of the survey, and of others, so as to place it in a position 

 of national importance. 



The aborigines are rapidly fading away, and, in the near future, 

 there will be no more trustworthy evidence of what they have been than 

 these faithfully drawn sun-pictures. 



At present, this catalogue merely enumerates them by tribes and in- 

 dividuals. Eventually a fully descriptive catalogue will be issued.
