in Higinbotham Hall. Models of Asiatic water craft and other 

 Asiatic ethnological material have been transferred from the large case 

 recently demolished in Hall 39 and placed in temporary storage in 

 Hall 49. Large specimens of Pueblo pottery, occupying the top of the 

 above mentioned case, have been transferred to Hall 8, to await a re- 

 adjustment of material now there stored. The great Cheyenne skin tipi, 

 also necessarily removed from Hall 39, has been installed in Hall 45. 

 To make Halls 46 and 47 ready for Chinese collections, has neces- 

 sitated the transfer of certain collections. Over 2,000 specimens of 

 archeological material from Calchaqui, Argentina, have been removed 

 from Hall 46 and stored in Alcove 90 of the East Court. Several 

 hundred Eskimo specimens have also been removed from Hall 46 and 

 stored in special cases in Hall 4, awaiting necessary re-installation of 

 the Eskimo material. Several hundred specimens of Mexican ethnol- 

 ogy belonging to the Starr collection, were removed from Hall 47 and 

 placed temporarily in standard cases in the East Court, awaiting 

 re-installation. Owing to the urgent and immediate need of cases, two, 

 installed with ethnologic material from Australia, but which because 

 of the addition of new material would necessarily be re-installed, were 

 emptied of their contents which was placed with other Australian 

 collections awaiting re-installation. The same treatment was accorded 

 a case of material from New Caledonia. To prepare Hall 39 for the 

 reception of Philippine material, one old case was demolished, its con- 

 I tents transferred elsewhere, and four cases of Apache and one of 

 1 Havasupai ethnologic material were removed to Hall i. The Rio 

 j Grande Pueblo material, formerly occupying Hall i, has been removed 

 I from the cases and placed in storage to await re-installation when more 

 i suitable cases are available. The cases in which this material was 

 j installed were transferred to the East Annex and turned over to the 

 j Asiatic section for the installation of Chinese material. The Eskimo 

 material in the bases of the cases in Hall i has been placed with other 

 i similar material in Hall 4, as has been the small collection of Patagonian 

 I ethnology. To make room for the seven new Hopi altars reproduced 

 with funds presented by Mr. Stanley McCormick the cases in Hall 

 15 have been re-arranged and condensed in order to care for certain 

 leases transferred from Hall 17. The ethnologic material, secured as a 

 result of the Stanley McCormick expedition of 191 1, recently stored in 

 Hall 45, has been placed in storage in Hall 16. The PhiHppine material 

 collected by the Robert F. Cummings' Expedition has been installed 

 in 45 cases during the year. Besides the contents of 6 cases, installed 

 last year in old cases, have been re-installed in new standard cases. 

 Of these three were Apayao, two Igorot, and one Kalinga. To make
