PUBLICATIONS

Due to the unfortunate economic conditions during the year the Museum has deemed it best not to issue any publications with the exception of one volume entitled "Indians of the Parana Delat, Argentina, by Samuel Kirkland Lothrop. This publication was issued by the New York Academy of Sciences in vol. XXXIII, pp. 77-232, pls. 11-XXVII, January, 1932, and partly financed by this institution.

The sale of the two series of colored postal cards illustrating archaeological and ethnological subjects amounted to $105.45.
