The collection of stone implements from Guadeloupe sent by M. Louis 

 Guesde, of Pointe-a-Pitre, and mentioned in this report, was placed in 

 the hands of Prof. Otis T. Mason, and used by him in the preparation 

 of a monograph on the antiquities of Guadeloupe, which will appear 

 in the Smithsonian report for 1884. 



The department has been visited by a great many persons interested 



in archaeology, who made inquiries and took notes, for the purpose of 



self-information, and in some cases, perhaps, for literary utilization. I 



have myself been much engaged in making investigations preparatory 



to the composition of a large work on the stone antiquities of North 



America.
