Excerpt from Explorations and Field-Work of the Smithsonian Institution in 1933 The expeditions are financed in one of the following ways Through Congressional appropriations to one of the Government bureaus under Smithsonian direction; through allotments from Smithsonian private funds through funds made available for specific field-work by friends of the Institution interested in some particular phase of its research work; or through cooperative arrangements with other scientific institutions. Owing to the necessity for economy, this year's pamphlet has been cut to the barest minimum, and much interesting detail has had to be omitted from each article. Enough is presented, however, to indicate the nature and scope of Smithsonian field-work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
