of Velika Kapela and North Velebit. These researches have been performed in sections in the organization of the Museum Society of Senj and in cooperation with the Faculty of Arts, Department for the ethnology at Zagreb, supported also by Matica Hrvatska Zagreb. The report covers researches made during 2000 and partly 2001 and are the constituent part of the project on the settlement and life of Bunjevci from Lika and the district at the foot of Mt Velebit. The researches have been exerted with efforts for the simple reason that a greater part of this people have moved away to towns.
