Excerpt from Ojibwa Texts, Vol. 7 The material contained in the present volume represents part of the results obtained by the late William jones in his work undertaken under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution during the years 1903, 1904, and 1905. During this period Dr. Jones was research assistant at the Carnegie Institution, and he was charged with the study of the Ojibwa tribes. Most of his investigations were carried on north of Lake Superior. During the year 1906, when he was still engaged in working up the results obtained during the journeys undertaken for the Carnegie Institution, he accepted a position in the Anthropological Department of the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago. He was immediately sent to the Philippine Islands to collect and study on behalf of the Museum. He took his manuscript material along, h0ping to work on it in spare moments. During his researches in the Philippine Islands he was killed by the natives, and the manuscript material lay for a long time buried in Manila. Finally the Field Museum of Natural History sent a member of its staff, Mr. S. C. Simms, to rescue Dr. Jones's collections. He also found the manuscript which, at the request of Professor Boas, was turned over to him by the Carnegie Institution for the purpose of reporting on its condition. An agreement was reached between Professor Boas and the Carnegie Institution by which the Institution undertook to contribute to the expense of printing the collections.
