Agriculture and of the Interior, and their services were contributed volun- 
tarily, This rendered it possible to present a series of lectures on a great 
variety of subjects such as anthropology, zoology, ornithology, entomology, 
forestry, agriculture, transportation, geography, geology, and history. 
During the series for 1928-29 the total attendance of children at the 
Saturday morning lectures was 7,950 with an average of 530, and the total 
attendance of adults at the Wednesday evening lectures was 1,978 with an 
average of 133. Following is a list of the lectures delivered: 
The wonders of the microscopic world, or the accident of size, by Miss C. W. Fritz, 
J. J. DeGryce, and M. E. Wilson. 
Experiences with Ottawa birds, by R. E. DeLury and C. L. Patch.

DIVISION OF ANTHROPOLOGY 
D. Jenness, Chief of the Division, reports: 
The Division of Anthropology maintained the same organization and 
personnel as in the two previous years. The lack of a second ethnologist, 
and of a physical anthropologist, made it necessary to employ two outside 
field workers during the year, Mr. C. B. Osgood, of the University of 
Chicago, and Dr. J. C. Boileau Grant, Professor of Anatomy in the Univer- 
sity of Manitoba. Professor Grant will probably be available again in 
future years, but it is very difficult to find a competent ethnologist who will 
undertake field work in the remoter parts of Canada, such as northern 
Ontario, northern Manitoba, and the basin of Mackenzie river. To carry 
out any effective ethnological work in these regions it will be necessary to 
fill the vacancy on the staff by the appointment of an assistant ethnologist, 
preferably a young man who will devote most of his life to field work in 
these areas. 
Field Work 
Five parties were engaged in field work during the summer of 1928. 
H. I. Smith made systematic collections of archaeological and ethnological 
specimens in the southern part of British Columbia, and took motion pic- 
tures of the Kootenay, Salish, and Blackfoot tribes; C. M. Barbeau con- 
tinued his studies of French-Canadian arts and handicrafts in Quebec; 
W. J. Wintemberg, after examining some prehistoric Indian camping sites 
on Richelieu river, reconnoitred the north shore of the gulf of St. Lawrence 
from the strait of Belle Isle to Tadoussac; Dr. J. C. Boileau Grant, Pro- 
fessor of Anatomy at the University of Manitoba, made an anthropo- 
metric investigation of the Crce and Chipewyan Indians on lake Athabaska,
