ethnology was founded and placed under the aegis of the 
Smiths onian^ Institution. To realise the value of Major 
Powell’s contribution, you must look at the working library 
of an Americanist, see what a large section of it consists 
of publications of the Bureau of American Ethnology and re¬ 
lated units under the Smithsonian Institution, and if a 
teacher of American ethnology and archaeology, see if you can 
m 
find any sounder principles on which to n your work . 
in the administrative reports of Major Powell.”
