Excerpt from Archeologic Valleys Investigations in James and Potomac Valleys The work of the Bureau of American Ethnology is conducted under act of Congress "for continuing ethnologic researches among the American Indians under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution." Two series of publications are issued by the Bureau under authority of Congress, viz, annual reports and bulletins. The annual reports are authorised by concurrent resolution from time to time and are published for the use of Congress and the Bureau, tho publication of tho series of bulletins was authorized by concurrent resolution first in 1886 and more definitely in 1888, and these also are issued for the use of Congress and the Bureau. In addition, tho Bureau supervises the publication of a series of quarto volumes bearing the title, "Contributions to North American Ethnology, " begun in 1877 by the United States Geographical Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region. These publications are distributed primarily by Congress, and the portions of the editions printed for the Bureau an, used for exchange with libraries and scientific uud educational institutions and with special investigators in anthropology who send their own publications regularly to tho Bureau. Tho exchange list of the Bureau is large, and the product of the exchange forms a valuable ethnologic library independent of the general library of the Smithsonian Institution. This library is in constant use by the Bureau collaborators, as well as by other anthropologists resident in or visiting Washington. The earlier volumes of the annual reports and the first seven volumes of the "Contributions to North American Ethnology" are out of print.
