Apayao-Kalinga people of the Tineg River Valley complete the quota 

 of 21 cases filling this Hall. In Hall 57 are already installed two 

 additional cases of Kalinga-Tinguian-Igorot ethnological specimens 

 from the Saltan River Valley; two cases of Kalinga material, one case 

 each of Batak and Tagbanua ethnological material from Palawan. 

 Over 200 photographs, along with new maps, have been placed in these 

 cases to further illustrate the use of objects shown. In this Hall there 

 yet remain to be installed two cases of Batak material and three of 

 Apayao, for which cases are still lacking. 17 New Guinea house posts 

 have been placed in the coves of Hall 58. In Hall 53 two cases of 

 ethnological specimens, comprising basketry, weapons, house posts, 

 drums, carved figures, a wooden bed, shell money, etc., from New 

 Ireland and close-by islands, have been temporarily installed. This 

 material, except a small quantity from the Parkinson collection, was 

 gathered by the Curator of the Department during his hurried trip 

 around the world in 1 908 . From the hall ceiling were suspended boats , 

 outrigger canoes, from the Solomon Islands, New Guinea and New 

 Britain, and a surf raft from the Solomon Islands. Upon the east and 

 west walls were fastened ceremonial house carvings from New Guinea, 

 a portion of the Voogdt collection, presented by Mr. Joseph N. Field. 

 Here also have been installed two dance masks, the larger over 16 feet 

 in height, from Hansa Bay, German New Guinea. These masks are 

 rare since they are usually destroyed after having served the temporary 

 purpose for which they were made. In Hall 3 7 has been installed a case 

 of material from Sumatra and one from Java, consisting of material 

 collected by the Curator during his recent visit to these islands. A 

 case of Java ethnology stands in Hall 39 and two cases of the same 

 material yet remain to be installed upon the arrival of the con- 

 signment of new cases. Here also is a case of Apache- Yuma and 

 Havasupai ethnology. In the south cove of Hall 38 have been placed 

 temporarily four Philippine spirit houses collected by Mr. Cole on 

 the second R. F. Cummings' Expedition. On the wall of the cove 

 are four large rice planters from the Island of Cuyo. In the center 

 of the Hall stand temporarily three cases of Apache material, con- 

 sisting of two cases of Medicine Dance paraphernalia, and one case of 

 painted buckskins, implements of the chase, various household uten- 

 sils, tools used in tanning, etc. Some confusion of installation exists 

 in Halls 37, 38, and 39, leading to the east annex, owing to the 

 temporary use of Hall 7 by Zoology. As soon as it is released to 

 Anthropology this condition will be improved by the installation 

 of the collections originally designed for this hall. In Hall
