MR. REGINALD PELHAM BOLTON has nearly completed a manuscript dealing with the aboriginal occupation of the metropolitan district of New York, based on examination of the original deeds covering the sale of land in this vicinity. New and interesting light is thrown on the tribal affiliations of these Indians, which independently confirms the conclusions arrived at from archaeological explorations recently con- ducted in this vicinity. Mr. Bolton's paper will appear in the near future in "Indian Notes and Monographs" of the Museum of the Ameri- can Indian, Heye Foundation.

As the result of excavations and explorations in the neighborhood of Green Bay, Wisconsin, Mr. J. P.. Schumacher, of that city, has acquired a number of typical Iroquois pipes and pottery fragments. The origin of these pieces can be accounted for by the fact that there were a number of settlements of Huron fugitives on Green Bay, following the downfall of that tribe at the hands of the Five Nations, during the middle and latter part of the seventeenth century.

MR. M. R. Harrington, of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, is engaged in preparing for publication, the results of his archaeological explorations in Cuba, beginning in 1915, which lasted more than a year, and covered mainly the district about Cabo Maisi at the eastern extremity of the island. This publication will also include his trip in the spring of 1919, during which time he made some interesting archaeological discoveries in the hitherto unknown caves and refuse heaps, near Cabo San Antonio, at the western end of Cuba. He also secured some very unusual wooden specimens from the muck of a lake bed in the same region.

A study is to be made of the physical anthropology of the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands. The work is expected to consume at least a year.
