ANTHROPOLOGY 
Filip Jacobsen, Roland B. Dixon, and John R. Swanton. The in- 
formation which they succeeded in obtaining regarding the art, 
traditions, ceremonies, and industries, together with the large col- 
lections to illustrate them, form a valuable contribution to our 
knowledge of the peoples of that region. 
The collection from the Tsimshian and the Haida of northern 
British Columbia contains many paintings and models of totem 
poles which illustrate fully the use of the crest and the representa- 
tion of family traditions. There are also many masks and other 
ceremonial objects. The material collected from the Haida sup- 
plements that presented by Mr. Heber R. Bishop in 1882, which 
together form a very complete collection, illustrating the ethnology 
of the Queen Charlotte Islands. In the collection from the Bella 
Coola of Central British Columbia there is a fine set of ceremonial 
masks illustrating all the important deities of the tribes. A very full 
collection from the Kwakiutl of Vancouver Island contains a large 
number of ceremonial masks, together with objects illustrating the 
industries, fishing implements, etc. The Nootka and Coast Salish of 
Vancouver Island are also well represented. From the latter we have 
a fine collection of basketry. 
ARCTIC AMERICA 
The ethnology of the Tlingit Indians of southern Alaska is fully 
illustrated in the 4,000 specimens acquired through the purchase of 
the Emmons Collection, already noted. The collection from the 
Tlingit contains numerous masks and other ceremonial objects, and a 
great number of excellent old pieces of superior workmanship. A 
recent addition to the Thngit collection was the gift of Mr. Adolph 
Lewisohn. This comprises a number of baskets and a complete sha- 
man's outfit. 
The Athapascan Indians of the Lower Yukon region are repre- 
sented in the collections made under the North American Research 
Fund by Mr. John W. Chapman, a resident missionary of Anvik, 
Alaska.
