A group of commercial photographs of Indians — including six out- 

 door scenes made by F. A. Kinehart in 1900, relating to the Crow In- 

 dians and showing details of costume and horse gear — was received 

 as a gift from Henry G. K. Tyrell of Baltimore, Md., in memory of 

 his father, Henry Grattan Tyrell. 



A reference set of 18 photographs of drawings by Charles- Alex- 

 andre Lesueur, showing Indians and archeological sites sketched by 

 Lesueur in the lower Mississippi Valley in the period 1816-37, was 

 purchased from the studio of Victor Genetier in Paris. The original 

 drawings are owned by the Museum of Natural History, Havre, 

 France. 



Six portraits of the Creek chief Pleasant Porter, made at various 

 dates from 1872 to 1905 and assembled by Ralph W. Goodwin of 

 Cambridge, Mass., while writing a biography of the chief, were lent 

 by Mr. Goodwin for copying. He also provided biographical and 

 other background information on several photographs of Creek In- 

 dians in the Bureau collections. 



While examining the collections of Pawnee photographs at the 

 Bureau, Stephen G. Gover of Weatherford, Okla., a member of the 

 Pawnee tribe, supplied notes on a number of the photographs, in- 

 cluding pronunciations and translations of personal names. Mr. 

 Gover also lent for copying a photograph of the Pawnee chief, 

 Crooked Hand, and another of Dog Chief, son of Crooked Hand. 



With the assistance of Cheyenne informants, Mrs. Margot Liberty 

 of Birney, Mont., provided identifications and biographical notes for
