Expeditions organized or participated in by the Smithsonian . September, were devoted to excavations and intensive studies ofa ruined pueblo at Mummv Lake in the Mesa \ erde National Park,Colorado. in October Dr. Fewkes investigated certain ancienttowers above Hill Canyon. Ctah, one of the most northerly localitiesin which these structures have yet been found. The inhalMtants of the Hopi villages in northeastern Arizona arerecognized by ethnologists as a composite people, made up of severalclans whose ancestors in some instances spoke different tongues,having drifted into this isolated region of waterless mesas from alldirections. The descendants of these clans, some now alreadyabsorbed and their language assimilated, others, retaining theiroriginal speech and now a people of homogeneous culture, inhabitvillages perched on high plateaus. The first colony, or the original NO. 1/ SMITflSONIAN EXPLORATIONS, I916 77 settlers, to arrive in this arid country, are said to have been imnii-qrants from the east, or from the reoion now embraced in Colorado.
