26 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY 



cause of the fact that they occur upstream from the James H. Kerr 

 Eeservoir where extensive archeological studies were made several 

 years ago and, while related to the manifestations present there, 

 they appear to contain some cultural elements which were not found 

 farther downstream. Excavations will be made at Smith Mountain 

 during the next fiscal year. 



ARCHIVES 



The Bureau archives continued under the custody of Mrs. Margaret 

 C. Blaker, archivist. 



Following the death of Dr. John P. Harrington, extensive series 

 of his linguistic and ethnographic notes relating to numerous North 

 American Indian tribes were returned from private storage and 

 deposited with the Bureau through the courtesy of his daughter, Miss 

 Awona W. Harrington. This material is voluminous and has become 

 disarranged during years of storage. To serve as a preliminary guide, 

 a list of the manuscripts, with particular attention to those dealing 

 with Indian languages of California, was prepared by Miss Catherine 

 Callaghan, scientific linguist. 



A collection of letters, family records, and photographs from the 

 estate of Matilda Coxe Stevenson, relating mainly to Mrs. Stevenson, 

 although some pertained to her husband. Col. James Stevenson, was 

 received as a gift from Manning Gasch of McLean, Va. 



Two copybooks containing Micmac ideograms and an interlinear 

 transcription of the Micmac words written about 1943 by Frank Navin, 

 an Indian of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, were lent by the Eev. Father 

 Placide, O.F.M., Cap., Ristigouche, Quebec, to be microfilmed for 

 the Bureau archives. 



A collection of over 4,000 photographic prints relating to North 

 American Indian tribes was transferred from the U.S. National 

 Museum. The prints have been sorted and arranged by cultural area 

 and tribe, but much remains to be done in tracing the original acces- 

 sion data in order to determine actual or terminal dates and other 

 relevant background information. 



Forty-two photographs relating to several Hopi pueblos, taken 

 by Miss Margaret Brainard in 1929-31, 1938, and 1950, were donated 

 by her. 



Thirty-six color transparencies of North Carolina and Oklahoma 

 Cherokee, taken by Raymond Fogelson in 1960, were donated by him. 



Thirty-three photographs of persons of Indian descent living in 

 Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Maine, and Quebec, taken by Daniel 

 Kennedy in 1960 and 1961, were donated by him. 



Sixteen photographs of Chippewa Indians taken in 1905 at Grand 

 Marais and Grand Portage, Minn., by Frances Densmore before she 

 became affiliated with the Bureau were donated by Eliot Davis,
