Dr. Sturtevant ^ left the country on October 4 for Burma, to under- 

 take field work supported by a grant from the National Science 

 Foundation. 



From July to October Dr. Eobert M. Laughlin, ethnologist, contin- 

 ued field work in Chiapas, Mexico, where he recorded and translated 

 a series of 251 dreams of the Tzotzil Indians of Zinacantan, Chiapas. 

 He discovered that dreams are recognized by the natives to be a form 

 of mental telepathy, a two-way communications system, whereby the 

 dreamer's soul is in contact with the divine and with the souls of fellow 

 (usually hostile) mortals. Dreams are held to be an indication of an 

 individual's success in withstanding enemy attack. 



Dr. Laughlin spent November and December in Santa Fe, N. Mex., 

 accompanied by two Zinacantec informants who provided additional 

 material for the compilation of a Tzotzil dictionary. His time in 

 Washington was devoted to continumg research on his dictionary 

 which involved the study of I7th- and 18th-century Tzotzil-Spanish 

 manuscripts. He selected much of his own textual materials for use 

 by the Coordinated Study of Tzeltal-Tzotzil Drinking of the Univer- 

 sity of Rochester. Selections of music from Zinacantan and Marti- 

 nique were contributed to the Cantometrics Research Project of 

 Columbia University for cross-cultural analysis. 



In collaboration with Dr. B. N. Colby, of the Laboratory of Anthro- 

 pology, Museum of New Mexico, Dr. Laughlin initiated a computer
