Report of Peabody Museum.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The annual report of the Peabody Museum, issued by the Curator, Professor F. W. Putnam, commences with a review of the explorations carried on during the past year by the Museum in Central America and the Cattaraugus Reservation, New York.

The report goes on to describe the acquisitions during the year. Although many of these have been received from Boston museums, valuable gifts have come also from private individuals. Perhaps the most important accession has been the Niven collection of human crania, pottery, and stone implements from Mexico presented by Miss Mary L. Ware.

In conclusion Professor Putnam calls attention to the fact, that, although the Museum spent $1221.62 for new exhibition cases and alterations to the old one, the collections are still crowded. These conditions will continue to exist until the $150,000, necessary to complete the Anthropological Section of the University Museum Building, is raised.
