Abstract
THE Bureau of Ethnology at Washington has, during the last sixteen years, been carrying quietly on a work of the importance of which, we feel sure, that a number of students of anthropology have no knowledge whatever; we are equally sure that work itself, as well as those who labour in it, has not received due recognition. It is now nearly thirty years since the exploration of the Colorado River of the West was begun by the Act of Congress in America, and it is nearly twenty years since the various geographical and geological surveys which sprang up in connection therewith were dissolved, and since the foundation of the United States Geological Survey became an established fact.
