SIXTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT 3 



From July 1, 1945, to June 30, 1946, Dr. Eoberts served as vice 

 chairman of the division of anthropology and psychology of the 

 National Eesearch Council. 



During the absences of the Chief, Dr. Roberts was Acting Chief of 

 the Bureau. 



Dr. John P. Harrington, ethnologist, spent the early part of the 

 fiscal year in Washington, D. C, where he produced a Kiowa grammar 

 of 405 manuscript pages and wrote 8 articles for scientific periodicals. 

 During part of this period he was still engaged in work for the Bureau 

 of Censorship. 



Dr. Harrington left Washington February 11, 1946, for Clovis, 

 N. Mex. There he interviewed Mr. Scheurich, grandson of Governor 

 Bent, New Mexico's first Governor, and about 80 years of age. From 

 Clovis, Dr. Harrington went directly to Gallup, N. Mex., where he con- 

 tinued his studies of Navaho phonetics. From Gallup he went to 

 Albuquerque, N. Mex., where he worked with Mr. Shupla, expert 

 speaker of the Hano language, which is related to Tewa. From Al- 

 buquerque he went to Santa Barbara, Calif., where he continued his 

 Chumashan studies, and was engaged in this work at the close of the 

 fiscal year. 



Dr. Henry B. Collins, Jr., ethnologist, resumed his research on Es- 

 kimo archeology, which had been largely suspended during recent 

 years because of his duties as Assistant Director, and later Director, 

 of the Ethnogeographic Board. On December 31, 1945, the Board was 

 formally dissolved, but on decision of the sponsoring agencies — the 

 three research councils and the Smithsonian Institution — Dr. Collins 

 continued operation of the office for an additional 6 months. The his- 

 tory of the Ethnogeographic Board, written by Dr. Wendell C. Ben- 

 nett, was prepared for publication, and a Board project for a survey 

 of wartime Government documents was begun January 1, 1946, under 

 the direction of Dr. Homer G. Barnett, assisted by Walter B. Green- 

 wood. The report on this project has been prepared by Dr. Barnett 

 and will be published, with bibliography, in the near future. 



Dr. Collins attended several meetings of the Board of Governors of 

 the Arctic Institute of North America in Montreal, and contributed 

 the section on anthropology for "A Program of Desirable Scientific 

 Investigations in Arctic North America," issued as Bulletin No. 1 of 

 the Arctic Institute. Several book reviews were also prepared for the 

 United States Quarterly Book List and other scientific journals. 



As a member of the Committee on International Cooperation in 

 Anthropology of the National Kesearch Council, Dr. Collins assembled 

 from committee records and other sources information on the activi- 

 ties of anthropological societies, universities, and museums in Scan-
