the artist of the expedition, and in Sitgreaves' report can be found a 

 series of drawings by him on the Zuiii Indians and their habits and also 

 of the scenery of the country. 



There were three brothers Kern. They were for many years in the 

 service of the United States with Captain Fremont's and other expedi- 

 tions. They were natives of Philadelphia and are now all dead. 



For a detailed and comprehensive account of the surveys and explo- 

 rations of the West by officers of the Army or under the auspices of 

 the War Department, also mentioning that of Capt. Jonathan Carver 

 in 176G-'68 and down to the Wheeler expedition, 1882, with maps, see 

 an article, "The Army and the Explorations of the West," by Lieut. T. 

 W. Symons, Corps of Engineers in Journal of the Military Service Insti- 

 tution of the United States, September, 1883. 



POWELL'S COLLECTION. 



The collection of Indian photographs made under the direction of 

 Maj. J. W. Powell, beginning in 1869 with his explorations of the cav- 

 erns of the Colorado of the West, and continued under his auspices 

 since, is very numerous and valuable. They relate principally to the 

 Pueblos of New Mexico and Arizona and to the Indians of Utah and 

 the Southwest. No complete catalogue of them has as yet been pub- 

 lished, and their number is not publicly known, but it must be very 

 large. 



They were generally taken by Mr. J. K. Hillers, the accomplished 

 photographer, now with Professor Powell in the work of the Geologi- 

 cal Survey and Bureau of Ethnology. 



SMITHSONIAN COLLECTION. 



The Smithsonian Institution possesses a large number of Indian pho- 

 tographs which have not been catalogued. Several small collections 

 have recently been presented to it, notably one from Col. C. Bonaparte, 

 of Baltimore. 



A FEW OTHER INDIAN 'PAINTERS. 



Deas, Bodmar, Bhinelander, Inman, Nagle, Peter Moran, George De 

 Forrest Brush, Macy, Henry B. Poore, and others have added scores 

 of paintings of Indians to our collections. 



Charles Deas, the artist, was born at Philadelphia in 1818. He saw 

 Catlin's gallery at Philadelphia in 1837-38. The effect it produced 

 upon him resulted in his preparing for a Western tour amongst the 

 Indians. He had a brother, an officer in the Fifth United States In- 

 fantry, who was stationed at Fort Crawford, in the Indian country. 



Deas left New York in the spring of 1840 for that post. He crossed 

 the lakes and made a tour amongst the Chippewas, Sacs and Foxes, 

 Sioux, Winnebagoes, and Pawnees. His tour is fully described in 

 Tuckerman's "Artist Life." He remained with the Indians from 1840
