content: The first part (1) of Cushing's report is published in very abbreviated form in the Bureau of American Ethnology-AR 4. Most of the "Report on Oraibi" is published in "Contributions to Hopi History," AA 24: 3, 1922, pages 253-268, and "Origin Myth from Oraibi, JAFL 36, 1923, pages 163-170. Approximately 9 pages of the "Report on Oraibi" and the catalogue of collections made at Oraibi are not published.

label: Scope and Contents
content: The annual report is presented in 2 parts: (1) a general review of work done during the year, including copies of orders for the Oraibi expedition, 18 pages, and (2) "Report on Oraibi," 52 pages plus a catalogue of collections made at Oraibi for the National Museum, 10 pages. Cushing's letter of transmittal also mentions an "Introduction to a Catalogue of the Ancient Series, Moqui Collections, made in 1883," which was not ready to be submitted at the time the other parts were sent to J.W. Powell; this manuscript is not with the 1882-1883 annnual report and is apparently not in National Anthropological Archives.
