The correspondence at the office continues to absorb time throughout 
the year, particularly in connexion with inquiries on the Indians and Cana- 
dian folk lore and songs. 
Harlan I. Smith continued his work of organizing the accumulated 
data of Canadian archaeology, including particularly that on the middens 
of Canada, the human form in prehistoric Canadian art, and the material 
resources of prehistoric times in Canada. He prepared a list of the antiqui- 
ties near Prince Rupert, British Columbia, and a list of archaeological sites 
in Prince Edward Island; also an illustrated article on “The Man 
Petroglyph,” near Prince Rupert. 
Mr. Smith made efforts to bring to the attention of artists and manu- 
facturers the possibilities of using designs from Canadian Indian art for 
distinctive Canadian manufactures and souvenirs. Encouraging results 
were obtained in bronze and aluminium casts, silver plated ware, pewter 
etching, and wood carving. These objects reproduce some of the earliest 
art of Canada illustrating the first mythology of the country and are based 
on specimens in the National Museum of Canada. 
W. J. Wintemberg partly completed his report on the culture of the 
Sidey-Mackay village site in Simcoe County, Ontario, and did considerable 
w T ork on his report on the ancient site at Tadoussac, Quebec. He prepared 
a short article on the types, probable use, ethnic origin, and geographical 
distribution of certain stone implements, the use of which has heretofore 
not been thoroughly understood. He concludes they were probably used 
as tomahawk blades. 
Douglas Leeehman made a study of the occurrence of caries in the 
Indian and Eskimo teeth in the Museum collections and prepared a paper 
on the subject. 
Progress is being made on the Eskimo habitat group for the w T est 
Hall of Anthropology. The igloo of which the interior only is to be shown 
has been completed. 
Three special exhibits were prepared during the year: one for the 
Canadian Handicrafts Exhibition at Toronto; one for the Central Canada 
Exhibition held at Ottawa in the summer; and one for the Joan of Arc 
Institute, Ottawa, in the spring of 1933. 
The sorting out of the material received from the estate of the late 
Dr. H. M. Ami continued, and twenty separate collections were made up 
from it. Fourteen collections were sent to various museums in Canada, 
one to New Zealand, and five were retained for future distribution. 
Loans of specimens to Normal and Public School students, as well as 
to artists and other interested people, continue. Undoubtedly these loans 
do much to make the Museum known and its usefulness appreciated.
