After the death of Dona Ascension at the end of January, 1930, Mr. Harrington spent some weeks in checking up on the information in every way possible, copying from the archives at San Juan Mission, working at the Bancroft Library at Berkeley, Calif., and interviewing many individuals, and returned to Washington in April, since which time he has been engaged in preparing a report on the work for publication.
Dr. F. H. H. Roberts, jr., archeologist, devoted thé fiscal year to a number of activities.

Doctor Roberts returned to Washington in October. The autumn months were devoted to reading and correcting
