This is marked "Final Manuscript" and is evidently an examination of the report published in 1st Annual Report of Bureau of American Ethnology (1881) and of Bureau of American Ethnology "Introduction" Number 4 (1880). See Yarrow's report to Major Powell dated June 30, 1886 (Bureau of American Ethnology file Number 2390) in which he refers to the near-completion of the "final volume" on mortuary customs.  Also contains some original material received from various observers at army posts, etc., copies by Yarrow of such material, and notes of Yarrow's own.
