Of the remaining authors represented in the competition, the Committee desire to single out for especial mention Dr. Karl Lumholz, who presented a treatise entitled, [[italics]]Objective Symbolism of the Huichel Indians;[[end italics]] Mr. Frank H. Cushing, who offered a manuscript interpretive of aboriginal art and industry under title, [[italics]]Tomahawk and Calumet, Shield and Gorget [[end italics]] and Dr. Walter Hoffmann, whose extended memoir embodies a careful study of the Menomini Indians. The Committee desire also to mention with especial commendation a work by Alfred P. Maudslay, of London, dealing with the Archaeology of Central America. This work was not submitted by its author in the competition, and it has not yet been completed in publication; but its great merit is such as to demand some especial mentioin on the part of this Committee. All of which is respectfully submitted. [[italics]] Committee [[end italics]] H.T. PECK [[italics]] Chairman [[end italics] D.G. BRINTON, W.J. McGee. [[italics]] May 21st , 1898
