Abstract
The report of the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution for the year ending June 30, 1907, has been received. It serves admirably to show the great part taken by the institution in American scientific life. Full particulars are provided, not only of the explorations and researches inaugurated by the institution, but also of the work of the U.S. National Museum, the Bureau of American Ethnology, the International Exchanges, the National Zoological Park, the Astrophysical Observatory, the Regional Bureau of the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature, and the excavations on the Casa Grande Reservation-all placed by Congress under the direction of the institution.
