fessor (Japollaiii, in wlioso honor t\w museum there has been officially 

 named and dedicated. From Boh^gna, he planned to go to Florence, 

 Rome and Naples, Genoa, Turin and Milan. He is successfully estab- 

 lishing relations with the institutions and scientists he is visiting, and 

 arranging for exchanges of material. 



Mr. Hytle gives us the following notes on his six-weeks' trip among 

 the caves and cliff-houses of Grand Gulch : 



"Crack! Another pack saddle to the discard! For \Skipperty Ann' 

 had reared and thrown herself heavily on the pack — an old trick of 

 hers, and but one of the many provided b}- our pack train, which was 

 a circus in itself until feed became scarcer, and the animals became 

 gentled. 



"From Flagstaff, Arizona, to Kayenta — a distance of 155 miles — 

 usually takes 10 hours in the dry season, l)ut with water in the washes 

 and the car slipping sideways two days might be needed. In our case it 

 took twelve hours — a strong south wind providing a sandstorm on the 

 distant Painted Desert and filling our road so that the going was slow on 

 sand-swept flats. 



"The thriving Hopi village of Moenkopi and Tuba City with its 

 Indian school and stores were passed en route, but no stop was made 

 until we came to the Little Colorado. This we crossed by bridge, and 

 made our next stop at Red Lake. 



"Arrived at Kayenta, a hearty welcome awaited us at the home of 

 Mr. and Mrs. John Wetherell, where we were made comfortable while 

 the pack mules and horses were brought in for the tri{) north. Here we 

 found — imagine it! — a bathtub in the wilderness! Mr. Wetherell is the 

 Government Custodian of the Navajo National Monument, which in- 

 cludes the most interesting cliff houses, Kitsiel and Betata Kin, which 

 were visited by our party. The Wetherells located at Ka>'enta some 

 seventeen years ago and established a trading store near the springs, 

 which they owned. At first the Indians of the locality were hostile, but 

 they soon came to look to the Wetherells for assistance of various kinds . 

 Through long association, Mrs. W^etherell has become intimately ac- 

 quainted with the Navajo language. In time a second trading store 

 developed. For the Government built an Indian school at Kayenta. 

 The white population of the i)lace consists of nine people, but this 

 number is augmented in the season by tourists to the Rainbow Bridge,
