. Annual report for the year ended June 30 .... United States National Museum. INVESTIGATIONS AND RESEARCH 67. In its objects and activities the Sindhi kitchen repeats a centuries-old pattern. Physical anthropology.—During July and Aug-ust, associate curator Marshall T. Newman was in Peru carrying out the final phase of a 5-year integrated physical-nutritional study on the Quechua Indians of Vicos, an hacienda in the North Peruvian Sierra. Honor- ary collaborator William J. Tobin, Washington orthopedic surgeon, accompanied Dr. Newman and made orthopedic examinations of the Vicos school boys. Local cooperation came from Dr. Carlos CoUazos Ch., director of Peru's Institute of Nutrition, who made clinical nutritional studies on the boys and whose staff studied the food intake of families and the serum vitamin levels of the boys. In addition, collections of saliva and blood were brought back to the States for analysis. After four years of special feeding, the Vicos boys show a mean 42 percent increase in weight increments that represent muscle and bone increase rather than body fat. At all ages they show sig- nificantly higher bone densities in comparison with the 1956 averages. Dr. Newman, assisted by Dr. Francisco JNI.
