[[italics]] 6. WHAT EXPLORATIONS (1) BY THE MUSEUM AND (2) UNDER OTHER AUSPICES, HAVE RESULTED IN ENRICHING THE COLLECTIONS UNDER YOUR CARE.
[[line across page]]

The only explorations affecting my Department have been those conducted by the Bureau of Ethnology. My Department has no authority to make explorations, although it would be most desirable if some could be conducted in connection with the Bureau of Ethnology. It is as important that the Curator and Assistants should have the opportunity to make investigations in the field, as it is for the investigators in the field to have the opportunity of studying the collections in the Museum.
