To the Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History of the City of New York: I have the pleasure to submit herewith my Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1896. DEPARTMENT OF PuBLIC INSTRUCTION.—In the last report mention was made of the important growth of the lecture system of the Museum. Pleasing as was the progress made in 1895, it gives me sincere pleasure to note a great increase of public inter- est durmg 1896. ~ Prof.. Albert S: Bickmore, the Curator. in charge, gave the usual courses of lectures on Saturdays to the teachers of the public schools of this city and Brooklyn, and visited the normal schools throughout the State, in compliance with the provisions of the contract with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. The large audiences in attendance at the lectures Saturday mornings necessitated repeating each lecture, forming two courses, known as Sections A and B._ Professor Bickmore also gave the usual number of free lectures to the public on New Year’s Day, Washington’s Birthday, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas, and a Spring and Autumn course of four lectures each to the members of the Museum. Under the terms of Chap- ter 362 of the Laws of 1895, the Curator, by the joint agreement of the Trustees and the State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, arranged and directed the system for providing the common schools of the larger cities of the State with the apparatus and lantern slides requisite for the repetition of the lectures delivered at the Museum to the teachers of the public schools. Attention is directed to the map appended to this report, which shows the places in this State where the lectures are repeated. The Museum also furnished for the use of the Curator a suitable room for the instruction of school superintendents in the use of the 8 apparatus. The Curator is in receipt of letters asking how the slides, apparatus and text of the lectures delivered by him to the teachers of the public schools can be secured for use in other cities. ‘The owners of large manufacturing establishments have also expressed the desire to have this means of entertaining and instructing their employees. ‘The Museum collections are a valua- ble adjunct of the lectures delivered to the teachers, and are frequently made use of for reference after the lecture. The popularity of the lectures given by Columbia University in codperation with the Museum is demonstrated by the increased attendance. ‘These courses were delivered on Saturday evenings, and consisted of sixteen lectures, which attracted audiences aggregating 8500 persons. ‘These lectures were more or less scientific in character, and the fact of such large attendance plainly shows the trend of popular interest in this direction. Three lectures were also presented under the auspices of the Linneean Society. The lectures given under the direction of the Board of Educa- tion of the city have achieved great success, if measured by attendance. Dr. Henry M. Leipziger, Ph.D., Superintendent of Lectures, states that 18,200 persons attended the twenty lectures. Tuesday night of each week was assigned for this series, and their popularity is attested by the fact that on each evening hundreds of persons were unable to gain admission. While this series covered a large range of subjects, many of the lectures pertained to natural history. I regard this connec- tion with the Board of Education as of great importance in advancing the cause of popular education, and in extending the usefulness of the Museum to the public. It is only a few years since the lectures at the Museum were limited to those given to the teachers of the public schools by Professor Bickmore ; within recent years the system of lectures has been extended in coépera- tion with the other institutions, as noted in this report, until it forms an important and attractive feature of the work of the Museum. The use of the lecture hall was also given to the Board of Managers of the New York Botanical Garden on two occasions. On April 14th the New York Microscopical Society was granted the use of one of the halls for their Seventeenth Annual 9 Exhibition; and on March 26th the New York Academy of Sciences received the same privilege on the occasion of the Third Annual Reception of that body. A special reception was ten- dered October 23d by the Trustees to the guests in attendance at the Sesquicentennial Celebration of Princeton University; and on November 30th the members of the Museum were invited to a view of the collections and of the New Halls of Anthropology and Vertebrate Paleontology. While it has not been customary in preceding reports to incor- porate a list of the lectures, the important growth of this work I believe justifies an enumeration of the lectures given during the year, and I therefore append a statement of the several series, which were in most instances illustrated with stereopticon views. The following are the lectures delivered to the teachers of the public schools by Professor Bickmore, in accordance with the terms of the contract between the Museum and the State Super- intendent of Public Instruction.

A number of plates were prepared for the Memoirs, but it was not possible to provide for the publication of Memoir No. III before the close of the year. It is a noteworthy feature of the Bulletin that it contains, for the first time, several papers from the Department of Anthropology, and it therefore forms the first volume in which every department is represented, as shown by the following list of articles comprised in the volume, arranged by departments.

Transformations of some North American Hawk-moths. _ By William Beutenmiiller (pp. 291-298). Several papers are ready for the Memoirs, and a number, of plates are prepared, and it is hoped that the memoirs written by Dr. Bandelier, describing his researches in Peru while in the service of the Museum, may be published during 1897. The number of articles presented for publication during 1897 is far in excess of the funds available, and several thousand dol- lars could be advantageously used in this direction. ‘This one feature is a suggestive commentary on the rapid expansion of the Institution, and its growing influence among the important natural history museums of the world. The copies of the early annual reports are nearly exhausted, as well as parts of Volumes I and III of the Bulletin, and it will be necessary before another year to reprint these issues in order that the Librarian may respond to the frequent requests for our publi- cations from other societies. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE ZoO6lOGY.— This department, under the charge of Prof. R. P. Whitfield and his assistants, Drs. Gratacap and Hovey, has made very satisfac- 18 tory progress. The work of tabulating and cataloguing the type- specimens of the Hall Collection has been industriously carried on, and enough matter is now ready to fill 170 pages of the Bulletin. The work thus far has developed the presence of a larger number of type specimens than was expected, and indi- cates the existence of nearly double the number first estimated. A list of the Meteorites in the Museum has been compiled by Assistant Curator Hovey, and was published in the last volume of the Bulletin. This discloses the extreme poverty of the Museum in this group of objects as compared with many of the museums in other countries; the contrast is so great that I cite some of the instances. Our Museum possesses specimens representing 25 falls ; while the British Museum has specimens representing 444 ; Budapest National Museum, 306; Vienna, 498; Paris Natural History Museum, 4or ; and the U.S. National Museum, Wash- ington, 377. A similar unfavorable showing is made when the number of these objects is compared with those owned by various other institutions and by private collectors, and I trust that means may be forthcoming in the near future which shall enable the Trustees to provide for this deficiency. The need of a change of location for the mineral collection has become manifest. The portions of the wing now occu- pied by these objects should be assigned to the collections of shells and invertebrate zodlogy, and the adjoining hall in the new west wing should be used to better display the mineral specimens, many of which are deposited in drawers, and conse- quently inaccessible to the visitor, except on application to the Curator. In noting this condition, I realize the advantage of a proper display of the Gem Collection, and the superb group of objects forming the exhibit from the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company. ‘There are not enough cases to properly ex- hibit the entire collection, and the specimens are very much crowded. This condition will disappear, however, as soon as the cases for the new wing are completed. One of the most valuable and interesting donations is a collec- tion of various fossils from Jamaica, W. I. Some of these are of very remarkable type, and will form the basis for very valuable contributions to the Museum publications. These specimens are 14 the gift of Mr. Francis Child Nicholas, one of the Museum’s most ardent friends. Gem CouiectTion.—This collection has been entirely reorgan- ized by eliminating from the Morgan Collection all the material donated by other parties, and such as had been added to this group of minerals from the Museum material. This arrangement leaves the J. Pierpont Morgan Collection by itself in the eastern case, and the other objects in the western case. ‘The change has resulted in the formation of virtually two collections, as most of the forms are repeated in the second collection. ‘The separation of the collection of gems has enabled the Curator to better dis- play the material, and for this purpose the cases were furnished with new and larger velvet pads. It is proper that I should make a detailed reference to the many important and superb additions made by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan during the year. 6 One cut Amethyst, Deer Hill, Me. is Rabun Gap, INC: ‘* Tolite, Haddam, Conn. is Yellow Beryl, Coosa Co.; Ala. no Hy green Beryl, New Brunswick, Me.

The American Turquoise Co., of this city, has donated cut stones, uncut material and nodules of turquoise. Mr. F. C.

I. A list of these and other accessions received by purchase, exchange and donation is incorporated in another portion of this report. 15 DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY, ORNITHOLOGY, HERPETOLOGY AND IcHTHYOLOGY.— Prof. J. A. Allen is in charge of this depart- ment, having as assistant curator Mr. Frank M. Chapman, and Mr. John Rowley as chief taxidermist. While the amount of material received falls below the average for recent years, many valuable specimens have been added, mainly through donations. For want of means no birds were purchased during the year and but few mammals, and these almost wholly for exhibition. Mr. Chapman’s expedition to Yucatan, and the Peary expedi- tion to Greenland, yielded good returns, but the collections de- rived from Museum expeditions have been smaller than usual. A small number of reptiles and fishes have been received, the latter mostly from the Aquarium at Battery Park. The schedules subjoined to the curator’s report may be summa- rized as follows : Mammals.—Total number received, 625, of which 288 were acquired through donations, 77 by exchange, 130 through Museum expeditions, and 93 by purchase. Birds —Total number of specimens received, 1725 skins and 570 eggs ; 1325 skins and most of the eggs were presented ; 21 were acquired by exchange, and 383 through Museum expedi- tions. Additional facilities have been provided for storage of the study collections; the exhibition and study material is in safe condition and free from museum pests. During the year about roo mounted specimens were added to the exhibition collection of North American mammals, and almost this entire collection has been supplied with fresh labels. To complete this collection many specimens are still needed, to obtain which will require a liberal provision of means for carrying on the work, which will necessarily extend over a number of years. The smaller mammals are already either in the possession of the Museum or can be readily obtained, and quite rapidly added to the collection. The larger animals, however, can only be ac- quired slowly, and at large expense. There are still lacking specimens of the Wood Bison, of two species of Bighorn Sheep, of three or four species of the Deer tribe, and of three or four large 16 and very striking forms of the Bears of the Rocky Mountain region and the Northwest Coast. Also a number of Wolves, Foxes and Wild Cats, and many of the northern fur-bearing animals, including the expensive and nearly extinct Sea-Otter. Some of these species should be shown in groups, to provide which requires good series of specimens, and accessories made from materials and studies that can be properly provided only by sending an expert taxidermist to the home of the species it is desired to illustrate. There is thus here an opportunity for friends of the Museum, especially interested in the larger game animals of this continent, to aid the Museum in securing the specimens necessary to properly complete its exhibition collection of North American mammals. The specimens and accessories for a Virginia Deer Group are ready, and will be installed as soon as provision is made for a suitable case for its reception. The only addition to the exhibit of birds is the case of four groups, with accessories, illustrating changes of plumage with season and age. ‘This is the first of a series of groups designed to illustrate special features in the life histories of birds and mammals. Attention is directed to the following noteworthy donations : (1) The Clarence A. Smith Collection of birds, 700 in number, presented by Mr. Albert Smith. (2) The Alfred Marshall Collec- tion of Long Island birds and birds’ nests, 600 in number, pre- sented by the Linnean Society of this city. (3) A collection of bird skins, from Alaska, presented by Lieut. George T. Emmons, U.S.N. (4) A valuable collection of Bats, from Jamaica, pre- sented by Mr. Francis C. Nicholas. (5) A collection of bird skins, from Venezuela, presented-by Mr. W. H. Phelps. (6) A number of large mammals received in the flesh, from Mr. James A. Bailey. We are also again indebted to the Department of Public Parks for many mammals and birds received in the flesh from the Central Park Menagerie. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALA#ONTOLOGY.—This de- partment has been administered by its Curator, Prof. Henry F. Osborn, assisted by Drs. J. L. Wortman and W. D. Matthew. “ABOl[OJUOBl[VY IEAYIIIVA j4V JUIU4AEUI( | dy} Japun ‘adrtsnpout ‘g6gr 03 16gi savas ay} Sutinp suotytpedxgy unasny 9y3 Aq s[ewumeyy [Isso oJ parojdxa svar if rr \ ae eee | EBs CON ons ae "OLOHd ‘AGNWI “0 "7 IL The year 1896 is the fifth of the existence of this department, and while the task contemplated at the outset has not been fully completed, the success attained has been most gratifying. The discovery of new fields, however, shows that many years of work will still be required to complete what we have here undertaken. Attention is called to the annexed map, which shows the regions that have thus far been explored. The shaded areas indicate the successive lake beds of northern New Mexico, north- ern Wyoming, southern Wyoming, northern Utah, South Dakota and northern Kansas, which contain the remains of animals left during a great life period of over a million years. The exhibit of the phylum of the horse, though imperfect, is of exceptional educational value, and attracts a large share of attention. Probably no one series of objects in the department excels this in popular interest. As soon as the few remaining gaps in this series can be filled, it will form an absolutely perfect and unique exhibit. It is believed that the sum of ten thousand dollars would enable the Museum to prosecute the explorations necessary to secure a complete exhibit of the evolution of this interesting animal, and I express the hope that some public spirited friend of the Museum will desire to become identified with this undertaking. The entire amount need not be supplied at once, but could be contributed at intervals during a period of five years, as the work progressed. Dr. Wortman conducted the exploration of the last season, which resulted in the completion of the entire Eocene Collection, the scene of operations being northern New Mexico and northern Wyoming. The expedition achieved excellent success, obtaining in northern New Mexico ample evidence that the Ground Sloths originated in this country—the most important palzeontological discovery of the past ten years. A number of fine skulls and skeletons, collected in Nebraska, have been purchased, completing the skeleton of one of our little horses, and that of one of the ancestors of the camel. Mr. Handel T. Martin presented six skulls and portions of skeletons of large swimming lizards, from Kansas. Thirty valua- ble casts were received in exchange from Paris, and from the British and Oxford Museums. From the University of Munich 18 we received 360 valuable specimens of European fossil mammals and birds. The collection now contains the remarkable total of 10,780 specimens, of which 6861 have been catalogued and deter- mined. It is now doubtless the richest and most valuable collec- tion of its kind in this country. Attention is called to the skillful manner in which the fossil skeletons have been mounted by Mr. Adam Hermann, preparator for this department. Excellent photographs of the Bad Lands were made by Mr. Granger, Prof. William Stratford, of the College of the City of New York, having very kindly loaned his field camera for this purpose. Many of the views are now being enlarged, under the direction of Professor Stratford, who gives his services. These transparencies will be colored and hung in the windows of the Hall, thus giving the visitor an exact idea of the appearance of the beds in which the fossils are found. We are also preparing, through the aid of Mr. L. C. Laudy and Prof. Stratford, a series of photographs of our mounted speci- mens, which will be available for exchange with foreign museums for photographs of mounted fossils in their collections. Under the supervision of the Curator, Dr. Matthew has pre- pared two catalogues, one of which is arranged numerically and the other according to the families of animals, so that the student or specialist can in a few moments ascertain what we have. The collection displays a number of novel methods of mount- ing the specimens, thus making the exhibit more than ordinarily attractive. The printed labels, which are of a popular character, are supplemented with large water-color drawings, showing resto- rations of many of thespecies. These illustrations were executed by Mr. Charles R. Knight, depicting as nearly as possible the appearance of these animals in life. ‘The serieswas presented by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan. DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.—In this department the growth for the year is very satisfactory. Prof. F. W. Putnam, Curator, and Dr. Franz Boas and Mr. M. H. Saville, Assistant Curators, and their assistants, Messrs. Harlan I. Smith and George H. Pepper, have been zealous in their respective duties. 19 The arrangement of the Ethnological Hall, on the first floor of the North Wing, which was opened to the public on the last day of November, shows, although not complete in all details, what it is expected will be done in continuing the ethnological exhibit in the new wing. The plans when completed, will, I think, make this one of the best organized and the most important and thoroughly educa- tional anthropological exhibits in this country, and it is hoped that each succeeding year will mark a step in advance. The Ethnological Hall was opened to the public on November 30th last, the collections having been arranged under the supervision of Dr. Boas; but on the completion of the new wing, this hall will be restricted to the tribes of the Northwest Coast of America. To this end, much work has been done in classifying and labeling, and in making special exhibits and groups to illustrate certain phases and peculiarities in the customs and arts of the people. For this purpose many models of human figures, and parts of figures, were needed, and various contriv- ances had to be designed to show and explain the use of par- ticular specimens. ‘To carry out this system, an extensive knowl- edge of the objects is required, as also the expenditure of much thought, labor and money. As the collections on the west side of the hall, representing the Eskimo, the northern Mexican tribes, and the Melanesians, are soon to be transferred to the new wing to make room for the expansion of the West Coast exhibit, the details of arrangement in these cases have not been carried out as in those on the oppo- site side of the hall, containing the West Coast material. The single case containing the model of an Indian Village of British Columbia, is an illustration of a large series of exhibits by means of which the various homes of different peoples are to be shown in connection with their life, customs and arts. Another series of groups will show the dependence of a people on their environment and on the natural products of their country. In one exhibit the uses of the various products of the cedar tree are illustrated, this tree being of extreme importance to the people of our Northwest Coast. _ 20) Another exhibit in this hall is intended to illustrate the physical characteristics of a people, as shown by their skulls and skeletons, and by plaster busts and casts of parts of the body, by photo- graphs, by samples of hair, etc. A number of admirable full-length figures and busts, prepared by Mr. Caspar Mayer, have already been placed on exhibition. In the Archeological Hall a portion of the Peruvian Collection has been placed in the cases on the east and north sides, and in several table cases. This was arranged by Mr. Saville so as to show several groups of objects obtained by Dr. Bandelier during his exploration in Peru. The part of the collection for which we are indebted to Mr. Henry Villard is exhibited in these cases ; but a large part of the Peruvian and Bolivian Collections will have to remain in the store rooms until the new West Wing is ready for occupancy. The collections from Mexico have also been placed on exhibi- tion and arranged in this hall to show the various marked cultures of different portions of the country. Among these are collections obtained by purchase during Mr. Saville’s trip to Mexico, and the large collection donated by the Duke of Loubat, obtained for him by Dr. Edward Seler. In these cases are also placed the objects collected by Mr. William Niven at Guerrero, Mexico. The collection of pottery from the Casa Grande, coliected some years ago by Dr. Lumholtz for the Museum, has been installed in the wall cases at the western end of the hall. Three cases in the western portion of the hall have been assigned to the collection made by Messrs. B. Talbot B. Hyde and Frederick E. Hyde, Jr., from the cliff houses and caves in Utah, New Mexico and Colorado. When these are transferred to the new hall, there will also be displayed with them the objects secured by these gentlemen from their exploration of a ruined pueblo during the present year. The Messrs. Hyde have arranged to defray the cost of continuing these explorations for several years. Their enthusiasm and liberality will thus result in fur- nishing to the Museum a large and exceedingly interesting exhibit of this remarkable culture of prehistoric times. The collection obtained by Mr. Harlan I. Smith at the prehis- toric village site and burial place at May’s Lick, Kentucky, is now 21 on exhibition. These objects have been arranged by Mr. Smith in a manner intended to show the life and customs of the people. Instructive labels and photographs help to tell the story. A small collection, presented by the Peabody Museum of Cambridge, illustrates the art of chipping stone, as shown by specimens in different stages. The lot was obtained from the prehistoric quarry at Mount Kineo, in Maine, and forms a very interesting exhibit. A plan and photographs show the site of the quarry. Another collection, accompanied by a plan showing the strata and the exact position of each object, illustrates an exploration for the Museum made by Mr. Ernest Volk in the Delaware Val- ley. This exploration is of such importance, and has so aroused the interest of the Duke of Loubat, that he has furnished the means for its continuance by the Museum until September, 1897. EXPEDITIONS: —_/ e774. — lhe) services of) Dr Ai). Bandelier were continued during the year. His time has been largely devoted to the preparation of a report describing his explorations on the islands of Lake Titicaca, the publication of which will greatly enhance the value of the very large collections accumu- lated, formerly under the auspices of Mr. Henry Villard, and latterly at the cost of the Museum. fTonduras.—In the last report mention was made of the Hon- duras expedition, undertaken through the contributions of two of the Trustees, in conjunction with a very ardent friend of the Museum, and the Peabody Museum of Cambridge. This work was carried on at the prehistoric ruins of Copan, and as a result we have received a number of interesting sculptures in stone, which were formerly part of the decorations of the ruined build- ings in that wonderful city ; these objects are now displayed on the tops of the cases in the Archzeological Hall. Besides these, the Museum received, as its portion of the finds, a number of small objects in pottery and stone, among which were a large bead of jadeite, and a large piece of the same material, with a carving of a human head. The Peabody Museum has added a series of potsherds and obsidian objects found in excavating a mound during the expedi- 22 tion of 1891 and 1892. ‘There will also come to us a series of casts from the moulds made by the expedition, giving us a number of fac-similes of sculptures and hieroglyphs of the great stairway of the Temple. The Peabody Museum also places at our disposal the use of the moulds taken during the former expe- ditions, for such casts as may be desired. Mexico.—TVhe term of Dr. Lumholtz’s stay in Mexico is draw- ing to a close, and his services will then be available for the com- pilation of the voluminous notes of his field-work prosecuted during 1894, 1895 and 1896. Praise is especially due to him for the collections made during this year, those received and now in transit being far more important than those made by him during either of the preceding two years. With these brief references to the expeditions just noted, which are a part of the work of the department, attention is directed to other notable additions to the collections. Yo Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan we are indebted for the valuable Peruvian material, known as the “Garces Collection,” consisting of gold, silver, copper and bronze objects, pottery vessels, wooden vases and garments (ponchos), from prehistoric sites on the islands and shores of Lake Titacaca, in Peru and Bolivia; also shell and feather work, consisting of collars, feather head-plumes, and a small feather poncho from the ruins of Gran Chimu, Peru. The Duke of Loubat has added to his former gifts an archeological collection from the State of Oaxaca, Mexico ; a series of casts of the original sculptures in the Berlin Ethnological Museum, from the ruins of Santa Lucia Cozumahualpa, Guatemala; and a photographic copy of the “Codex Legislatif,’ an ancient Aztec book on maguey paper, preserved in the Library of the Chamber of Deputies, Paris. Reference was made in the preceding report of the gift by the same donor, of the widely-known “ Charnay ” casts of the sculptures from the sites of ancient ruins in Guate- mala, Yucatan and Mexico. The set, numbering 51 pieces, was received at the Museum early in the year, and is temporarily installed in the large vestibule of the ground floor of the main entrance. This donor has ordered for the Museum, from the 23 Maudsley moulds, a copy of the sculpture at Quirigua in Guate- mala, known as the “Great Turtle” of Quirigua. He has sup- plemented this by an order for a cast of the leaning monolith, twenty-eight feet high, from the same place; and for a tablet to complete the inner shrine of the Temple of the Cross from Palenque. ‘The original of this tablet is in the National Museum at Washington. Another of his gifts, a fac-simile reproduction of the “ Codex Vaticanus,” an ancient Aztec book on deerskin, preserved in the Vatican Library, Rome, has been spread in a frame twenty-three feet long, where it can be easily examined. He has also given ten photographs of another ancient Mexican book preserved in the Library of the Chamber of Deputies, Paris, which has heretofore been practically inaccessible for reference. Every student of American Archeology and Ethnology is deeply indebted to him for thus making the work comparatively accessible. Full and complete labels accompany the objects. Mr. Francis Child Nicholas has donated two gold pendants of human form from Antioquia, Colombia, S. A., and two objects of jadeite from Costa Rica. Civil Engineer R: E..Peary,|U.S.N.; made a visit to Green- land during the summer, accompanied by a party of scientists; good use was made of his opportunity, and he brought on his return a number of costumes and a series of objects from the various tribes of Eskimo, not met with on his expeditions of 1894 and 1895. These objects will be incorporated with the material brought back in 1895 by the Peary Relief Expedition. The Peabody Museum, Harvard University, sent a cast of a sculptured head from Uxmal, Yucatan, and moulds of the sculp- tured chamber, ruins of Chichen-Itza, to complete the Charnay casts. Early in the year the Mexican Legislature enacted a law author- izing His Excellency, President Porfirio Diaz, to grant a concession to this Museum enabling it to prosecute archeological research in Mexico and Yucatan. The terms of the contract provide that the explorations shall be carried on at the sole cost of the Museum. As compensation for this expenditure the concession grants a remission of import duties on the material sent into Mexico for 24 the work, and directs its Inspector of Monuments to allot to this Museum the objects found, when such are duplicates. This privilege, heretofore prohibited by law, is destined to result in great benefit to this Museum and to the National Museum of Mexico. It is proposed to begin work next September at the ruined Temple of Xochicalco, in the State of Morelos ; this ruined city contains the most important structure of ancient Nahuatl culture extant in Mexico. A mould will be made of the eastern wall, which is the best preserved of the four sides; it is sixty feet in length and thirteen feet in height, and the casts will provide the Museum with a most important reproduction, showing the art of stone carving and the mythology of these people, as illustrated in the sculpture. An exploration of the tombs will also be under- taken. Following this work an exploration of the Usumacinto Valley will be made, covering the ruins of Palenque, and the little known ruins of Menché and Peidras Negras on the. Guatemala frontier ; the work at these points is certain to yield most important results. Graphic views of the Temple of Xochicalco are shown in this report, the photographs of which were made by Mr. Marshall H. Saville, Assistant Curator of Archeology, while in Mexico during the spring of this year. Reference has already been made to the archeological material obtained by the Messrs. Hyde brothers, during their expedition of 1896 in New Mexico. A valuable collection of jade ornaments, 70 in number, from Alaska, was added to the collection ; these objects were pur- chased by the Trustees, through the courtesy of Lieut. George T. Emmons, U.S.N., just prior to his departure from Sitka. In closing my reference to the work in this department it 1s proper to add a few words regarding a subject of great interest, not only to the student of anthropology, but also to persons inter- ested in scientific research in other fields. I refer to the theory that America was originally peopled by migratory tribes from the Asiatic continent. The opportunities favorable for solving this problem are rapidly disappearing, and I would be deeply 25 gratified to learn that some friend or friends of the Museum may feel disposed to contribute means for the prosecution of systematic investigations in the hope of securing the data neces- sary to demonstrate the truth or the falsity of the claims set forth by various prominent men of science. A map of the localities which should be covered by such a system of research appears in this report. DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.—This department is under the charge of Mr. William Beutenmiiller as Curator, with Mr. R. L. Ditmars as assistant. The collections in this department include such a large number of specimens that the work of cata- loguing and numbering them is very tedious, and requires much time and care. In addition to this work much time has been devo- ted to labeling and arranging specimens in the cases for exhibition. A section of the Gallery Hall, East Wing, was assigned for the collections of this department, and was opened to the public late in the year. The wall cases on the north side of this hall are filled with specimens of Moths and Butterflies mounted on the Denton plaster tablets, having a concave surface ; each species is represented by four specimens, the sexes being illustrated by two specimens each, showing the upper and the lower surfaces. A representative collection of Beetles from all parts of the world has been placed on exhibition in the desk cases, and also many specimens of Grasshoppers, Cicadas, etc. The Jesup Collection of Insects Injurious to Forestry, and collections of Wasp and Termite Nests, Scorpions, Silk Worms, etc., are displayed in the wall cases not devoted to the main collection. An effort will be made to add to the number of specimens mounted on plaster tablets as soon as a satisfactory arrangement can be made. A number of large water color illustrations of inju- rious insects have been made from the specimens mounted with natural accessories, and a number of other similar illustrations, as yet unfinished, will be completed with the return of spring, when the necessary specimens can be collected. A group is in preparation illustrating the life history of the Honey Bee, in which will be shown the old and the modern hive, and the nest of wild bees. 26 The material accessible for examination now comprises the Moths and the Butterflies of the Edwards, the Angus and the Elliott Collections, aggregating 70,000 specimens. The cataloguing of the Beetles, Bees, Flies, etc., from the Edwards, Elliott, Angus, Weber and Nicholas Collections, is pro- gressing steadily, following which the material will be available for reference. It is estimated that 280,000 objects yet remain to be numbered and catalogued. It is evident that the growth of this department will soon require the assignment of a separate hall for its display. Mrs. William H. Bradford very generously donated the collec- tions of insects and books gathered by her son, George Dexter Bradford, deceased ; the collection is important, numbering 5000 objects, many of which are new to the Museum collections. A very welcome addition to the collection was presented by Mr. Francis Child Nicholas, consisting of selected specimens from Honduras, Jamaica andthe United States of Colombia, embracing among other material large and complete nests of white ants and wasps, from Jamaica. Our thanks are also due to Mr. William Schaus, to whom we have been indebted in the past, for a gift of 700 butterflies from the Old World and South America; most of this material was previously unrepresented in the collections. Liprary.—The Librarian, Mr. A. Woodward, reports acces- sions equaling 2064 volumes, making the total of volumes now in the Library 32,502. Very gratifying relations have been established with a number of foreign societies, through which they have been added to our exchange list during the year. The number of accessions is greatly in excess of that of any previous year, and the library shelves are now full. The completion of the West Wing, how- ever, will relieve this congestion, and provide room for future expansion. ae 50 NEW YORK STATE DAIRYMENS’ ASSOCIATION, Albany, N. Y. Reports. 6-17. 1883-1894.

To the Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History : I have the honor to present the following brief statement of the work of the Museum for the year ending Dec. 31, 1897: FINANCES.—Your attention is called to the fact that the expen- ditures have been kept within the limits of the appropriations made at the annual meeting. Endowment account has a credit balance of $3,192.06, after meeting the deficit in the receipts for maintenance during the year. I am enabled to report this very gratifying result through the generous assistance accorded by the Trustees at the annual meeting, on which occasion $25,750 was subscribed to liquidate the Dr. balance at the close of 1896, and the estimated deficiency in the income for 1897. It will be seen that the amount received from the city is not sufficient to maintain the Museum. The following summary of the Treasurer’s report shows the total receipts and disbursements: MAINTENANCE.

I, 1897........ 3,192 06 $69,548 80 ADDITIONS TO THE BUILDING.—Early in April the State Legislature enacted a law empowering the municipal authorities to erect a new lecture hall and an addition to complete the corner of the west wing. Plans for these structures were promptly prepared, and received the approval of the Trustees, the Commis- sioners of Parks, and the Board of Estimate and Apportionment ; the latter at the same time authorized the issue of the bonds as provided in the Act. Within a brief time contracts were let for the structure to complete the east wing, for the erection of the addition to com- plete the west wing, and for the construction of the large lecture hall at the north end of the old building. Rapid progress is making on all of these buildings, and unless some unforeseen delay prevents it is expected that the halls will be ready for cases and fittings during 1899. The new lecture hall may be ready for occupancy late in the coming autumn, and will have a seating capacity for fifteen hundred persons. ‘This hall will provide ample accommodation for the large numbers which at times heretofore have been unable to gain admission to the courses of free lectures to the public. Attention is called to the diagram inserted in this report which exhibits the two end structures and the new lecture hall at the north end. With these additions the south front of the Museum will be completed in accordance with the original plans adopted at the time the first structure was erected. | _\ a HL : r.—lHast Wing, under construction GrounpbD PLAN.4 2—West ‘ ue 3.—Lecture Hall, * Report of the President. TE Accerssions.—The list of accessions published in the later pages of this report is an evidence of the growing interest felt in this Museum by our citizens. The donations were numerous, and represent many valuable additions to the collections and Library. I desire to record our appreciation of the gift made by Mr. Wm. F. Havemeyer of a painting and four studies of some of the important works of Wm. Bradford. These have been hung in the Library, with the large painting of the “ English Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin,” given to the Museum in 1892 by Mr. Havemeyer and a number of his friends. The celebrated work owned by C. P. Huntington, and painted by the same artist, entitled ‘The Polaris in the Ice at Thank God Harbor,” also hangs in the Library. Mr. James A. Bailey has given an Indian Elephant, two Camels and two Kangaroos, to the Department of Vertebrate Zodlogy. Our thanks are also due to the Commissioners of Parks for a number of animals which died at the Menagerie and at the Aquarium. Mr. James M. Constable and your President had the pleasure of securing for the same department three excellent specimens of Mountain Sheep, the types of a new species described in the present volume of the Bulletin. Gifts of rare and very desirable collections of mammals, birds and reptiles were received from Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, U. 5S. Army; Mr. Morris M. Green, of Syracuse, N. Y., and Mr. W. R. Horn, of Melbourne, Australia. Miss Annie Peniston, of Hamil- ton Parish, Bermuda, has presented another collection of shells from Bermuda, an addition to her previous donation. The Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company has added to its previous gifts a number of valuable specimens, and Mr. I. F. Elder, of Keokuk, Iowa, presented forty-two geodes from North- western Missouri. A collection of fossils and shells were donated by Mr. Wm. E. Crane, of Tarrytown, N. Y., many of the shells being previously unrepresented in the collection. The Department of Anthropology has been greatly benefited through the liberality of the Duke of Loubat. The means to T2 Report of the President. continue archeological research in the Delaware Valley, near Trenton, N. J., were provided by him, and the results sent to the Museum. He has also presented the Department a number of casts made from large sculptures in the National Museum of Mexico, and a complete set of the casts from America, Asia and Polynesia, in the Ethnographical Museum of Berlin. To these he has added casts from the moulds, owned by Mr. A. Maudslay, of the large sculptured stone at the ancient ruins of Quirigua, Guatemala, known as the “Great Turtle of Quirigua,” a cast of the largest of the stone idols at the same place, 27 feet in height, and of a large stone of similar character from the ruins of Copan, Honduras. The Duke also provided the means for securing a number of casts of other large sculptures from Copan, from moulds belong- ing to the Peabody Museum, and we are also indebted to him for a large collection of objects obtained in Mexico and Guatemala by Dr. Edward Seler. Mr. Francis C. Nicholas, General Manager of the South Ameri- can Exploration Company, made an interesting collection of archeological material during his examination of the tract of land belonging to this Company in the eastern portion of the United States of Colombia. - The gift contains a number of speci- mens of special interest from a region hardly known to the archeologist. Late in the year, forty-eight new water colors, painted by Mrs. C. S. Sargent, were added to the Collection of North American Forestry by the President; others will be contributed until the collection is made complete. Sections of several new species of trees, discovered during the year, were also added, and new maps were prepared showing the geographical distribution of the trees. We are greatly indebted to Mr. Wm. Schaus, of Twickenham, England, who has recently donated his collection of Old World Moths, in all eight thousand specimens. Mr. Schaus is engaged in identifying the species still in his possession, and upon the completion of this work will send them to the Museum. The Trustees are also indebted to the Very Reverend Dr. Eugene A. Hoffman, Dean of the General Theological Seminary of this city. His interest in the Museum has induced him to Report of the President. 13 present us with a representative collection of the Butterflies of America, North of Mexico. He has also authorized the Curator to select for the Museum a representative collection of the Butter- flies of Central and South America. The Termite and Ant Hill Nests, collected in Hayti and the United States of Colombia, by Mr. Francis C. Nicholas, now shown in the Gallery Hall, were presented by Mr. Henry C. Pratt of this city. Among the many accessions to the Library I make special men- tion of the gift of Miss Laura P. Halsted, a warm friend of the Institution, who presented three hundred and seven volumes as a memorial to her brother, the late Robert Halsted. Another important donation has been received from the British Government, which, at the request of the Royal Society, has presented to the Library the “ Report on the Scientific Results of the Voyage of H. M.S. ‘Challenger,’”’ consisting of forty-four volumes. The Library has also received, through the generosity of the Duke of Loubat, ninety-two volumes relating especially to Anthropology, an exceptionally helpful gift to this department, the works having been selected with reference to its needs. Many of the volumes are very rare. One hundred specimens have been added to the mammal exhibit, among which are six Deer, a Puma, three Mountain Sheep, a Rhinoceros, a Nilghau, and four dogs representing prominent races. Two new groups were added to the series of bird groups, pre- pared with their natural surroundings; one of these comprises adult and young specimens of the Duck Hawk. The other con- tains the old and young of the Red-shouldered Hawk. Both were mounted with their natural accessories in a realistic manner, under the supervision of Mr. John Rowley, and have been placed in the main hall, at the entrance. Skeletons of the Walrus, White-tailed Gnu, Polar Bear, Narwhal, Rhinoceros and Boa Constrictor have been added to the exhibition collection. About 250 geological and mineralogical specimens were purchased in various parts of Russia and Russian Armenia by 14 Report of the President. Dr. Edmund O. Hovey, Assistant Curator in the Geological De- partment, while in attendance at the Seventh Triennial Session of the International Geological Congress convened at St. Petersburg. Dr. Hovey also made a short stay at the Marine Zodlogical Laboratory, Bay of Naples, where he secured a very interesting series of specimens. His leave of absence covered a period of several months, a portion of the cost of the journey and his salary being defrayed by the Trustees. EXPEDITIONS.—Field exploration is an influential factor in the growth of the Museum, and its importance increases with each succeeding year. The brief mention here following gives but an inadequate idea of the great increase in the collections due to this source. After remaining nearly four years in Mexico, Dr. Carl Lumholtz returned in April last, and has since been engaged in preparing his notes, and the labels for the material gathered by him. This large and costly collection, secured among the tribes of Mexico, adds greatly to our knowledge of their history. From the Hui- chols a full series of objects was obtained relating to tribal cere- monies. The specimens have been catalogued, and will soon be arranged in the west wing. Dr. Adolf F. Bandelier has continued his researches in Bolivia and Peru, mainly in the vicinity of Lake Titicaca. The collections received during the year were numerous and valuable, and contained a number of trephined skulls, to which attention was called many years ago by the late E. G. Squier. The Museum now owns a large number of these skulls, and very interesting results will accrue from their study, particu- larly since one gives evidence of the remarkable surgical oper- ation of bone-grafting. The Peruvian collection has not yet been exhibited in its entirety, but will soon be placed in the west wing. The services of Mr. Ernest Volk were continued for the entire year, exploring at several points near Trenton, N. J. As before mentioned, the Duke of Loubat defrayed the cost of this work, which has been carried on under the direction of Prof. F. W. Putnam for the purpose of careful investigation of the question Report of the Prestdent. 15 which has arisen relative to the antiquity of man in the Delaware Valley. In this connection it may be stated that a subscription has been made by Mr. B. Talbot B. Hyde to defray the cost of further continuing the work in 1898. Acting under the concession granted to this Institution by the Mexican Government, Mr. Marshall H. Saville, Assistant Curator in charge of the division of Archeology, has been for several months in Mexico, engaged in the exploration of ancient ruins, from which he has gained information of great scientific import- ance, and has also sent valuable material for our exhibits. Mr. Saville will not return until May next. Messrs. B. Talbot B. Hyde and Frederick E. Hyde, Jr., have at their personal cost continued the explorations in the ancient pueblos in New Mexico. The present year forms the third season of the work they have very generously prosecuted in the interest of the Museum. Fully as valuable results are expected from the continuation of the work next year, and it is a source of sincere pleasure to feel that the efforts of the Trustees meet with such earnest codperation. Another important expedition was undertaken in the interest of the Department of Vertebrate Zodlogy by Mr. A. J. Stone, a trained collector. His plans provide for a series of journeys, begun this year, and to be continued till the close of the autumn of 1900. His operations will cover the territory from Montana to Bering Strait. The Department will thus acquire a full repre- sentation of the game and other large animals to be found in the countries he will visit. This material will greatly enrich our display of North American Mammals, for which additions the Museum is indebted to Mr. James M. Constable. It is of interest to note that an important plan has been arranged conjointly with the Carnegie Museum, whereby Mr. Herbert H. Smith, late a curator there, and a skilled collector, will make an extended trip to the United States of Colombia. He will gather specimens for both institutions, which will provide this Museum with a large series of species now unrepresented in our collections. Mention was made in the report of the preceding year of the valuable results which would accrue to science from a systematic 16 Report of the President. investigation of the tribes inhabiting the coasts of the North Pacific Ocean, and the acquisition of information disclosing their historical development. In the same report a map was annexed showing the region which it was proposed to cover in the course of the research. The details of the plan were arranged in the beginning of this year in order to enter upon the work at the earliest practicable moment. Your President thereupon decided to assume the expense involved in prosecuting the research, and a revised map is incorporated in the present report showing the localities to be visited during the next four years. The plans for the work for the second year have been decided, and reports will be made from time to time of the operations of the parties in the field. Occasional articles, which have appeared in the public press, have furnished a brief and popular narrative of the progress made by the explorers up to the close of the first season. Thanks are due to the Imperial Russian Government for assur- ances of its codperation in the work to be undertaken on the coast of Northeastern Siberia, and the State Department of our own country has also given valuable assistance and counsel, in relation to the movements of the explorers. Our parties engaged in the field received important aid from some of the transcontinental lines, and it is very gratifying to record this manifestation of continued interest in the Museum’s work. In this regard, the Board is indebted to Mr. C. P. Hunt- ington, Mr. George J. Gould, Mr. Eben B. Thomas, Sir William C. Van Horne, Mr. Edward D. Adams, Mr. James J. Hill, and Mr. E. T. Jeffrey. The Wisconsin Central Railroad and branches have aided the Museum in the transmission of freight, and the New York & Cuban Mail S. S. Company, and the Panama R. R. Company, have granted special rates on shipments from Mexico and Peru. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE Zo6LOGY.—Additional room and larger facilities were provided for the Study Collection, which was rearranged during the year. A beginning has been made toward gathering material to represent by means of casts, or mounted specimens, the fish and reptile fauna of the State. Report of the President. 17 Labels were supplied for all new specimens of Mammals, and many old labels have been replaced to conform to the recent changes in nomenclature; the Bird Collection has received similar attention. The gain of the year is summarized as follows : Mammals, 872; birds, 1356; reptiles, 146; fishes, 150. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.— The work of the department has mainly been devoted to the care of the Shell Collection ; labels have been prepared for the general collection, which has required the revision and preparation of about 4500 labels. In bringing together the material, it is dis- closed that the case room is insufficient for the proper installation of this branch of our collections, and it will require therefore the assignment of more space for the purpose. Considerable attention has also been given to the specimens of Invertebrate Zodlogy in the way of mounting and preparing specimens brought in during the year. The corals and sponges have been displayed to better advantage. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PAL#ONTOLOGY.—In referring to this department, a portion of the report of its Curator, Prof. Henry F. Osborn, is incorporated, for the purpose of more clearly expressing the gratifying results achieved through the efforts of the force engaged in field work. The field parties consisted of Dr. J. L. Wortman, Dr. W. D. Matthew and Mr. W. W. Granger of the Museum; and Messrs. Brown and Menke of Kansas Uni- versity. The Curator also spent a short time in field work. “Tn the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology we have con- tinued to devote the greatest care and study toward arousing the interest of the public in our exhibits. Two large charts have been made, showing clearly the succession of animals in the ascending series of rocks on this continent. “Three years ago we first took the camera into the field, and began to secure a series of photographs of the sites where the different types of extinct animals arefound. We have now taken advantage of the negatives, and are having them enlarged and carefully colored as window transparencies, thus conveying to the visitors a clear idea of the Bad Lands. From over two hundred negatives, we propose to fill all the windows in the Hall with scenes taken at or near the specimens exhibited. 18 ‘Report of the President. “Aided by the generous gift of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, Mr. Charles Knight has continued his series of water-color drawings representing North American life, which have aroused very great interest abroad as well as in this country. These water-colors have also been reproduced in large bromide photographs, and distributed as exchanges to other museums. ‘“‘Complete series now hang in the British Museum, London, and have been sent to museums at Oxford, and the Royal Museum at Brussels. Altogether, 19 water colors have been completed. ‘““We have also begun to make a series of models of extinct animals, also the work of Mr. Knight, which are cast for our own Hall, as weil as for the purposes of exchange. “Attention is especially directed to the rapid progress in the mechanical methods (under the direction of Mr. Adam Her- mann). Beginning with the low relief style shown in the photo- graphs of the Three-toed Rhinoceros, which was mounted in 1893, we have finally attained the beautiful method shown in the Horned Rhinoceros, the most perfect example of its kind; the entire skeleton being supported by steel rods which pass through the centre of the bones, only the two main supports being visible. “The mount of Phenacodus is also a model, as every bone can be removed for purposes of study, this being one of the rarest and most unique fossil skeletons in the world. “In 1896 we reached a stage of development of our fossil Mammal Collection, which rendered it expedient to enter a new field. “The total number of specimens collected and catalogued in the five years ending 1896 was 7,661, including nearly 4o complete. skeletons. This, added to the 3,600 specimens in the Cope Collection, gave us a total of 10,961. This total has been reduced for the fine exchange collections sent to Munich and Paris, for which we have received 300 specimens from Munich and a beautiful series of casts from Paris, to be followed by collections of original skeleton material. “In 1897 the Department had extraordinary success in the field as a result of four expeditions, filling 80 boxes, requiring nearly two freight cars for their transportation. “ Starting to open a quarry in Wyoming for the oldest type of mammals, the party made an unexpected discovery, first of one, then of two reptile skeletons of magnificent size, and in a re- markable state of preservation. “Thus has been inaugurated the second great division of the work, namely, the history of the Reptiles in North America. Besides the Dinosaurs found in Wyoming, a good beginning was made in eastern Kansas in the search for flying reptiles and marine swimming reptiles, and for the Mammalian Collection was DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALA ONTOLOGY. EXCAVATION OF BACK-BONE OF GREAT DINOSAURIAN REPTILE IN SOUTHERN WYOMING. Report of the President. 19 secured a complete skeleton of the Three-toed Horse, adding another important step to the history of this family, and to its contemporaries, the Llamas, Sloths, etc.” The Department of Public Instruction has made a complete set of the negatives of the paintings of restorations in this de- partment, referred to in the abstract of the Curator’s report ; the photographic slides of these paintings will be distributed through- out the State for the benefit of the Normal Schools. DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.—This important department has made marked progress during the year, and the results serve to show the great possibilities future years hold for the develop- ment of its plans and collections, and the valuable aid which they may become in the advancement of science and public education. The field to be covered in the illustration of the various phases of the life history of our race is too vast in extent to be dwelt upon at this time. The large space assigned in the west wing for the collections of this department will add sufficient space for its immediate requirements, but the continuance of the various expeditions in the field will provide so much valuable and important material that the erection of additional structures cannot be deferred beyond the next few years. Several of the collections received into the department during the year have a special value, inasmuch as they were obtained by collectors having the most important requirements of the Museum in view. Thorough work of this character has been done by Dr. Franz Boas, Messrs. M. H. Saville and Harlan I. Smith, assistants.

Part III of Volume I of the Memoirs is in press, and will be shortly issued, consisting of g plates and about 70 pages, by Professor Osborn, forming Part I of his monograph, ‘ The Extinct Rhinoceroses.’ Eighteen plates have been printed for a memoir by Mr. M. H. Saville on the ‘Codex Legislatif,’ and several plates have been prepared for a forthcoming monograph of the Clear-winged Moths (Sesiide), by Mr. Wm. Beutenmiiller. A number of papers planned for publication in 1897 have been necessarily deferred for various reasons, but mainly for lack of money. Hence there remains in the hands of the Publication Committee five papers ready for immediate publication in’ the Bulletin. It is desirable, therefore, that the appropriation for this branch of the Museum’s work shall be largely increased for the coming year. EXCHANGES OF DupLicATE MarertaL.—Exchanges _ of material have been made and are in process between this Insti- tution and several of the museums at home and abroad, which will add many new and desirable objects to the Department of Anthropology, Vertebrate Zodlogy, and Vertebrate Paleontology. 26 Report of the President. MEMBERSHIP.—Miss Laura P. Halsted and the Very Reverend Eugene A. Hoffman, D.D., were each elected a “ Fellow,” and Messrs, James C. Baldwin, John J. Corning, George Iles, Morris M. Green and Mrs. Sally Morris Cory were made “ Life Members.” The following members have died during the year: Howard Potter and Charles W. Cass, “ Fellows,” and Henry M. Taber, E. Oelbermann, George Kemp, Charles H. Contoit, Charles Moran, Charles Addison Miller, James Fraser and Mrs. James C. Ayer, “Life Members.” It isa sad duty to record the decease of our late friend and associate Trustee, Mr. Theodore A. Havemeyer, which occurred April 26, after a brief illness. Mr. Havemeyer always showed great interest and zeal in promoting the growth of the Museum, and the loss of his services and counsel will be deeply felt. Each year discloses an increase in the applications for permits to make drawings and studies of the specimens. Requests are also frequently made to permit photographs to be taken of objects to be used in the illustration of articles for the daily press and magazines. It is the aim and desire of the Trustees to encourage the scientist, the student and the public to avail themselves of the collections and the library for the study of natural history. To this end the Library is always open to visitors desiring to con- sult its volumes, and the curators extend a welcome to persons in search of technical information regarding the determination of specimens. The growth of public interest in this direction -becomes more marked year by year; teachers bring entire classes of pupils to extend their study by the examination of the objects. The growth of the collections has surpassed the progress made during 1896, and the year to come promises a still greater advance. The yearly income from the invested funds of the Museum amounts to less than nineteen thousand dollars per annum, a sum far too small to rely upon for the increase of the collections. This income is supplemented by the receipts from members, and friends who subscribe for special work in the field and for DEPART iT OF VERTEBRATE PALAZSONTOLOGY. No. 38.

The Trustees are also called upon for subscriptions to meet the annually recurring deficit in the receipts. The essential requirement is a largely increased endowment fund. Noting the ever-increasing interest in the Institution, I have strong hopes that the not distant future holds a promise of success in this direction. It is not a question of the merits of the Museum, its value as a factor in the instruc- tion and recreation of the public and the advancement of popu- lar education being cheerfully conceded by all classes of our citizens. Our hearty thanks are due to the annual subscribers and our friends who have been added to the roll of Patrons, Fellows and Life Members, through gifts of money or collections. I trust that the progress of the Museum will always enlist their interest and aid. I embrace this occasion to record my testimony of the good will, uniform kindness and hearty codperation which the Institu- tion has received at the hands of the municipal authorities. In closing this brief report it is a pleasure to acknowledge the zeal and earnest attention manifested by the members of the scientific and administrative staff of the Museum. MORRIS K.

Became a law April 7, 1897, with the approval of the COUERION. Passed, three- fifths being present. The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows : SECTION I. The department of public parks in the city of New York, with the concurrence of the board of estimate and apportionment, is hereby author- ized to erect and equip additions to the building situated in that part of Central Park formerly known as Manhattan square, and which is now in the possession and occupation of the American Museum of Natural History, under and in accordance with the contract made in pursuance of chapter one hundred and thirty-nine of the laws of eighteen hundred and seventy-six, chapter two hundred and seventy of the laws of eighteen hundred and ninety-two, chapter thirty-one of the laws of eighteen hundred and ninety-three, and chapter one hundred and seventy-five of the laws of eighteen hundred and ninety-six.

At the Regular Quarterly Meeting of the Board of Trustees of the AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL History, held May toth, 1897, the following min- ute in regard to the death of THEODORE A. HAVEMEYER was unanimously adopted, ordered to be recorded in full, and that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased : The Trustees, with the deepest regret, record on their min- utes their sincere sorrow at the death of their friend, THEODORE A. HAVEMEYER. Mr. HAVEMEYER was a valued associate, whose interest in the growth and advancement of this Institution was constant and helpful. His financial assistance was always generous, and his counsel wise and invaluable. As a member of the Auditing Committee, of which he became a member in 1892, at the time of his election to the Board, his association with the practical affairs of the Museum was in- timate, and in that capacity his keen sense of responsibility conferred upon his services an especial value. The Trustees, conscious of the deep loss his death implies to the interest they represent, desire to record their earnest tribute to a character that was generous and amiable, and en- dowed with the most honorable qualities of manhood, that they deplore his loss, recognizing how sustained was his assistance in their purpose of public education, how serviceable was his counsel, and how unstinted his financial aid ; that they earnestly extend to his bereaved family their sympathy and condolence, and with deference to their sorrow, express the hope that to them, the inspiring remembrance of his many virtues will be a consolation in their deep affliction.

ADDITIONS TO THE BuiILpINGs.— The construction of the additions to the east and west wings and of the new lecture hall have steadily progressed. Some delay occurred, however, by reason of the uncertainty regarding the limit of the City debt, and the difficulty in securing the granite as rapidly as was required. As a consequence the buildings are not in as forward a state of preparation as was predicted in my report of last year; but it is now expected and hoped that the buildings will be completed during the year 1899. LEGISLATION.— A law was passed at the session last year entitled Chapter 303 of the Laws of 1898, by which Section 3 of the Act of Incorporation was amended to read as follows :— “Said corporation may take and hold by gift, devise, bequest, purchase, or lease, either absolutely or in trust, for any purpose comprised in the objects of the corporation, any real or personal estate, necessary or proper for the purposes of its incorporation.’ By its terms the Trustees are not restricted in the amount of real and personal estate which they may hold for the endowment of the Institution. At the Annual Meeting held in February last, Messrs. H. O. Havemeyer and A. D. Juilliard were elected Trustees. 9 IO Report of the President. MEMBERSHIP.— Messrs. A. D. Juilliard and H. O. Havemeyer became “ Patrons’’; and Messrs. Samuel R. Betts, Frederick Billings, Banyer Clarkson, Henry H. Cook, Cleveland H. Dodge, Carl Eickemeyer, James B. M. Grosvenor, Bernard G. Gunther, Wm. F. Havemeyer, Arthur Curtiss James, Joseph Loth, John G. Moore, Francis Lynde Stetson, Miss Matilda W. Bruce, and Mrs. Wm. M. Macy, Jr., were elected “ Life Members.” We have lost by death during the year Dr. Wm. Pepper, H. J. Jewett, and John .A. C. Gray, “ Patrons’; and @RobenasG> Remsen, and George Garr, “Life Members.” A list of the deceased annual contributors is incorporated at the close of the report. It became my sad duty to announce at the Annual Meeting of the Trustees the death of our esteemed associate, Daniel Jackson Steward. Mr. Steward was one of the incorporators of the Museum, and for twenty-nine years had served the interests of the Institution with enthusiasm and fidelity in all that tended to promote its educational and scientific advancement. He lived to see its remarkable growth and the wide extent of its influence. The large and important collection of shells made by him and donated to the Museum, and which bears his name, is now on exhibition in the upper hall of the main building. AcCcEssions.—The numerous accessions received during the year are recorded in detail in the later pages of the report. The Museum is indebted to the Duke of Loubat for donations to the Department of Anthropology, andthe Library. He has de- frayed the expense of making casts from the great monoliths and sculptures of Quirigia, Santa Lucia, and other places in Guatemala; from Copan in Honduras; and from many of the sculptures in Mexico; he has provided the means for the continuance of this work to such an extent that the Museum will receive a full series of the casts from the Peabody Museum moulds. He has also presented many large photographs of various sculptures and hieroglyphic slabs in Central America, and given copies of the Codex Vaticanus and Codex Borgiano, which he has had reproduced. By the gifts of the Duke of Loubat, through Museum expedi- tions, and by the purchase of specimens the Museum now offers Report of the President. 1 to the student of Mexican and Central American Archeology unrivalled opportunities for the study of the sculptures and hieroglyphic writings of the ancient peoples of these portions of America. The investigation of the glacial deposits in the Delaware Valley, near Trenton, has been continued for more than a year under the patronage of Dr. Frederick E. Hyde and has resulted in the addition of very important material to the Department of Anthropology. Dr. Franz Boas, assistant curator in charge of the ethnological collections, visited Europe during the summer, the expense being defrayed by the Trustees. The object of Dr. Boas’s trip was to examine the collections in the various museums and to make ar- rangements for an exchange of specimens with the ethnological Museums of Berlin and Dresden. These exchanges have proved of value to our Museum in filling a number of gaps, and the result shows that our duplicate American material can be largely used in making judicious exchanges with foreign museums. Through the liberality of Mr. Jacob H. Schiff, Dr. Boas pur- chased a collection illustrating the manufacture and use of iron by the natives of Africa, and also a collection illustrative of the use of the cocoa palm by the natives of Melanesia. These collections will be utilized in the preparation of ethnic groups illustrating the use of the various natural products of different peoples. A large quantity of archeological material has been received through the exploration carried on by the brothers B. T. B. Hyde and F. E. Hyde, Jr.. among the ruins of the prehistoric Pueblo Bonito, in New Mexico, which was supplemented by their purchase of a collection of great scientific importance from the cliff houses and caves of the Grand Gulch region of southern Utah. The work conducted under the auspices of the Messrs. Hyde is more fully dwelt upon under the report of expeditions. Through the efforts of Mr. Francis C. Nicholas, general manager of the South American Exploration Company, a large number of important archeological objects have been given by his associates in this corporation, to which due reference is made in the detailed list of donations to the department. An extensive collection of Ainu objects from the Island of Yezo, Japan, was secured by Mr. Arthur Curtiss James, while in 12 Report of the President. Yezo, during the cruise of the ‘Coronet,’ and was presented by him to the Museum. The collection consists of garments, orna- ments, utensils, weapons, and other objects illustrating the customs of these people. A large and beautiful collection of Apache baskets and water bottles is the gift of Prof. James Douglas. Mr. B. Talbot B. Hyde has given an interesting series of ob- jects illustrating the making of a Navajo blanket, consisting of sheep pelts, wool, native dyes, loom and weaving implements, a loom with blanket partly woven, and a full series of photographs showing the Indian at work in the different stages of its manufacture. Late in the year a collection of objects from the islands of the Western Pacific Ocean was purchased by the Trustees from Dr. Otto Finsch of Leiden. In this collection is material illustrating the physical anthropology of the tribes of Melanesia and Micro- nesia. It also contains a systematic collection of objects illustra- ting the manufactures, arts, and customs of the people of these great groups of islands: There is a detailed catalogue of the col- lection and many drawings by Dr. Finsch with an account of the culture of the tribes he met with during the several years he was engaged in his researches. The mineral collection has been enriched by a number of large and very important specimens presented by Miss M. W. Bruce. Many handsome specimens have also been added by purchase. A collection of fresh-water and land shells, containing over 1,000 species and nearly 18,000 specimens, was received under the terms of the will of the late Prof. Edward D. Cope. The Department of Vertebrate Zodlogy has received 1,246 mammals, 545 birds, 1,000 eggs, 25 reptiles, and 1go fishes, the latter received from the Department of Parks, through Dr. Tarle- ton H. Bean. Important accessions have been received on account of the James M. Constable Expedition to the Northwest Territory. We are indebted to Mr. G. O. Shields of this city for a family group, comprising the male, female, and young of the Rocky Mountain goat. Valuable material has been received for bird groups, including a series of sea birds from Bird Rocks, in the Gulf of St. Law- Report of the President. 13 rence ; for a Brown Pelican group, from Florida, and for several groups of land birds, to fill gaps in our series of New York birds. Specimens have also been acquired for the local mammal groups, which are well under way. The Department of Parks has contributed 48 specimens of mammals, and 44 of birds. We are indebted to the generosity and public spirit of the Very Reverend Doctor Eugene A. Hoffman for the gift of a collection of butterflies from Mexico, Central and South America, number- ing 2,250 specimens. Fourteen enlarged transparencies of selected types of trees, photographed from nature, have been added to the “ Jesup Col- lection of North American Woods.” These pictures are dis- played in the windows of the Wood Hall, and are provided with transparent labels. Eighteen specimens of trees new to the col- lection have also been added. The Library has received a very notable accession in the Marcou collection of works on geology, presented to the Trus- tees by his heirs, Mr. John Belknap Marcou and Dr. Philippe Marcou. This library was formed by the late Prof. Jules Marcou, an eminent authority in this domain of science, whose reputation is world-wide. This gift comprises about 3,000 volumes and a large collection of maps. It had the distinction of being (with one exception) the largest private library of its kind, and, it is claimed, places the Museum in possession of the most com- plete collection of literature on geology and paleontology in America. The Trustees are to be congratulated upon the gener- osity of the donors in selecting this Museum as their beneficiary. The scientists and students of New York will appreciate the opportunity for reference they will enjoy from the location of the library in this city. During the year, the Duke of Loubat presented to the library 76 volumes and a number of pamphlets on Mexican Arche- ology, besides 10 large albums of photographic views pertaining to Ceylon and Java, and the ruins of Palenque, Mexico. The Department of Vertebrate Paleontology has received from its exploring parties a very important collection of skele- tons and parts of skeletons of fossil reptiles and mammals, as mentioned in the detailed list of accessions. 14 Report of the President. ExpepiTions.—The third year of the explorations carried on under the auspices of the Messrs. B. T. B. Hyde and Frederick E. Hyde, Jr., was a very successful one. The investigation of the ruins of the prehistoric Pueblo Bonito in New Mexico was made under the personal direction of Mr. George H. Pepper, and a large amount of interesting material was secured. Photographic views were made illustrative of the progress of the exploration of the ruins, and showing the objects in place as they were disclosed. In furtherance of their intention of providing for the Museum a complete collection of the material of the pueblo and cliff-house regions of the Southwest, the Messrs. Hyde purchased a collection of great scientific interest, collected by Mr. Richard Wetherell from the cliff houses and caves of the Grand Gulch region of southern Utah. ‘This collection comprises mummies and funeral objects of a people who, it is claimed, are distinct from the cliff dwellers, and who also preceded the cliff-house people of this region. This work is done under the direction of the Department of Anthropology, and is conducted solely at the expense of the Messrs. Hyde. The explorations near Trenton, N. J., have been prosecuted without intermission. Dr. Frederick E. Hyde very generously subscribed the sum required for this purpose, and he will con- tribute funds for the continuance of the work during 1899. The explorations in Bolivia, under Dr. A. F. Bandelier, were successfully continued during the past year. The explorer trans- ferred the scene of his operations from Peru to the eastern por- tion of Bolivia, sending in January last a considerable number of specimens; and notice has also been received that another large shipment of objects is on the way. His latest work has been among ruins and burial-places unlike those explored by him in Peru, and will add to the Museum new and interesting material. In my last report reference was made to the investigations being made by Mr. Marshall H. Saville, under the terms of ar- rangement between this Institution and the Government of Mex- ico. Mr. Saville continued his researches until the climatic changes compelled a return to his duties at the Museum. Three tombs were examined and their structure noted. On his return from Palenque, Mr. Saville made an ethnological collection from Report of the President. 15 the several tribes of Indians met by him, providing material unrepresented in this division of the Museum. He next visited ruins at Xoxo and Monte Alban, State of Oaxaca, where with a force of thirty natives he excavated several large mounds, re- maining here forty-three days. His attention was next turned to the well-known ruins at Mitla, where he secured a further num- ber of objects of much interest. The explorations thus far made under the authority of the Mexican Government show the im- portance of further work at the two localities in Oaxaca. If another expedition can be sent the coming autumn to work unin- terruptedly at these places during an entire working season, there is little doubt that a very considerable addition to our Mexican collections could be secured and many important archeological problems solved. In order to obtain further information relating to certain Mex- ican tribes, particularly in relation to their religious ceremonials, among which he had made extended researches during the pre- vious year, Dr. Carl Lumholtz made a four months’ trip to Mexico, bringing back an unique collection of exceeding interest. Dr. Ales Hrdlicka was associated with him for the purpose of making a series of anthropometrical records and observations on the physical character of several of the Indian tribes, and to collect as many human skeletons as possible. Dr. Hrdliéka also secured a number of life masks of these Indians, and the burial caves which he investigated yielded many human skulls and skeletons. The material thus acquired is essential for compara- tive study of the past and present tribes of eastern Mexico. Prof. F. W. Putnam, curator of the Department of Anthro- pology, reports that ‘““The Jesup North Pacific Expedition has had seven parties in the field. During 1897 the field work of the Expedition was confined to the coast of British Columbia. In 1898 the work was taken up on a more extended scale. Parties were in the field on the coast of the State of Washington, in the southern interior of British Columbia, and on the Amoor River in Siberia. The parties in charge of the work on the American Continent returned at the beginning of winter; the work in Asia is still being carried on. The collections made by the various field parties of the Expedition are now in large part exhibited in the Museum. These exhibits show, in a systematic manner, 16 Report of the President. the result of archzological work in the interior of British Colum- bia and on the coast. The ethnological collections are very comprehensive in regard to the tribes of Thompson River, of the northern part of Vancouver Island, and of the central parts of the coast of British Columbia. Material from the parties working in Siberia, in charge of Dr. Laufer, cannot, however, be expected for several months.” The investigations made thus far have brought together a mass of data, the value of which will be made known as the reports and spécial memoirs are prepared and published. TRANSPORTATION.—I desire to again record our indebtedness to the friends from whom the Museum has received aid in the transportation of men and material during the season of field work. The New York and Cuba Mail Steamship Co.; the Wells, Fargo Express Co.; the Southern Railway, and the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company, and allied lines, have extended important assistance in the transportation of our material collected in Mexico and the West. Our thanks are also due to Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, Mr. C. P. Huntington, Sir Wm. C. VanHorne, Messrs. George J. Gould, J. Stuart Mackie, and E. T. Jeffrey for their cordial considera- tion of the wants of the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.—At no period in the his- tory of this department has so much been done for its develop- ment or so many additions been made to its collections as during _ the past year. The west wing has been completed, adding several new halls for exhibition purposes, and increased facilities for laboratory work have been supplied by new workrooms on the upper floor. The lower hall in this wing’ has been provided with cases, which have been filled: with ethnological objects, and is now ready to be opened to the public. The gallery above is cased, in which the collections from South America are now being arranged. The large hall on the third floor, which will be devoted entirely to the archeological collections from Mexico and Central America, is in an advanced state of arrangement ; this hall and the gallery will be ready to open to the public within the year to come. The material in the North Hall has been readjusted with the “NOILIGHdIXY DIAIDV HLMON dasd¢ “ANVW IST NAANOINV A NO ONTALWVI-HIOY “ADNOTODONHINY fO DNSINLAVdI ACT Report of the President. 17 intention that the hall is ultimately to contain only the ethnology of the North Pacific Coast of America. When the transfer of several small collections is finished, the cases on the east side of the hall will contain only the Emmons and Bishop collections from British Columbia, while in the cases on the west side will be exhibited the collections made by the parties of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition. The principal collections received during the year, which have been catalogued and prepared, are the collections from Japan ; collections from the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, 1898 ; col- lection illustrating the African iron industry ; collections made in Mexico ; the exchange collections obtained from the ethnological Museums of Berlin and Dresden; and the large collections of casts of sculptures from Mexico and Central America. The en- tries made in the department catalogue during the year number a2 0: | DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALHZONTOLOGY.—After plan- ning for the field work of the season in Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming, Professor Osborn, the curator of this department, went abroad and visited the Museums of Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Leipsic, Halle, Vienna, Munich, Stutt- gart, Darmstadt, Basle, Lyons, Paris, and London. Methods of exhibition were studied, and arrangements were made for ex- changes with our Museum, several of which have already been effected. The second expedition for Dinosaurs was sent out to Wyoming in charge of Dr. J. L. Wortman, with a party of four. Deposits of Dinosaur bones very favorably situated were found. The party remained in camp at this place from its opening in June until the close of the field season on October 1, leaving one of its members in charge in order to prevent a ‘jumping’ of the Museum claim upon this remarkable locality. In all some 60,000 pounds of fossils were secured. This splendid collection reached the Museum entirely uninjured, and one third of it has already been worked out, under the direction of the preparator, Mr. Hermann. The fore and hind limbs of these monster reptiles will furnish subjects of great interest for the public. The exhibition hall has been enriched this year by the skeletons of two great Dinosaurs. 18 Report of the President. A beautiful series of photographs was taken representing the successive stages of development of this quarry, the complete excavation of which will probably occupy several years. A second party, under the direction of Dr. W. D. Matthew, was operating in the fossil beds of northwestern Kansas and southwestern Nebraska. The Bad Lands of northeastern Colo- rado were also found to bearich collecting ground. Skulls and parts of skeletons were secured, filling many important gaps in our collection. Portions of skeletons and skulls of fossil camels were found, among which is included a gigantic one of the size and proportions of the giraffe. The party also acquired a large amount of similar material to which detailed reference cannot be made within the limits of my report. Through the kindness of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, Mr. Charles Knight, under the supervision of the curator, has continued his restorations of extinct animals and has added five beautiful water- ‘ colors to the series, besides completing five models. These restorations of the Extinct Animals of North America have been furnished to the Museums of London, Munich, Brussels, Oxford, Stuttgart, and Cape Town. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.— The most important work carried on in this department has been the continuation of the cataloguing of the types of the Hall Collection. This has now reached a point where renewed appro- priations are needed for the expenses of publication. It is un- necessary to dwell upon the importance of this catalogue in view of its being a permanent record of the type specimens of the Hall Collection. Its publication will increase the value of the collec- tion, besides making it more attractive to students of paleon- tology. In this connection I have observed the need of setting apart a room for the convenience of students who may desire to consult these collections. Special attention is directed to the case holding the malachites and similar material presented by the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company, which is now exhibited in the north windows of the mineral hall. The collection of corals has been notably increased, and special attention is directed to two specimens of great beauty collected by Prof. Whitfield. These objects are displayed, Report of the President. 19 respectively, at the north and south ends of the palzontological hall. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—I regret to note that the increase in the number of specimens in this deparment is not equal to that of former years. Owing to the changes made in the transept of the west wing by the construction of stairways, the mammals formerly displayed there have been removed, temporarily, and cannot be permanently installed until the addition to the east wing, now under construc- tion, is completed.. New space has been provided, however, for the installation of the local and other special collections of birds and mammals, which will be especially instructive to students of our local fauna and useful to the teachers and pupils of our public schools. The cases are now ready and the installation will soon be completed. During the coming year a number of large mammals will be mounted for the North American collection, and others for the general collection of mammals, from the material now on the way from South America and Central America. Several hundred birds will also be mounted for the local and other special collections. During the year Mr. Frederick M. Holbrook has kindly identi- fied and catalogued the turtles ; the fishes received from the New York Aquarium have been identified and catalogued by Dr. Tarleton H. Bean. DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.—The Hoffman Collection of North American Butterflies has been arranged, labeled, and placed on exhibition. About 1200 specimens of the Hoffman Collection of butterflies from Mexico, Central and South America have been mounted on tablets, and two cases have been filled with the material ready for exhibition. Two cases containing silk-producing moths, with their cocoons, have been added to the exhibition collection, together with a very interesting exhibit showing the mimicry of insects. Some field work has been carried on during the vacation season, through which a large amount of material has been added to the local collection representing the varieties of insects found withina radius of fifty miles from New York City. ‘This collection will be made as complete as possible by the addition of the material illus- 20 Report of the President. trating the life-history and the food plants of the various spe- cies, and will serve to stimulate the interest of visitors, and also to invest the collection with a greater value for teachers and students. The collection of beetles has been revised and the large and unique specimens selected for exhibition. The specimens which are too minute to be easily examined will be accompanied by outline drawings, showing the structural characters of the species. Liprary.—The librarian reports accessions during the year ‘equal to 5839 volumes. The library now contains 41,691 volumes, including the recently acquired Marcou Library. The library is in great need of funds for binding periodicals, and for the purchase of a large number of standard works of reference in various departments of science. DEPARTMENT OF PusBLic INSTRUCTION.—I note with great pleas- ure the increasing interest manifested by our citizens in the work of the Department of Public Instruction. Prof. Albert S. Bickmore, in charge of this branch of the Museum’s work, reports that the twenty lectures to the Teachers of the Public Schools, delivered by him under the auspices of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, had an attendance of more than 17,000 persons. Over 8000 persons attended his Spring and Autumn Courses to Members of the Museum, and the free lectures to the public, given by him on holidays, were attended by nearly 4000 persons. The popularity of the lectures delivered at the Museum to the Teachers of the Public Schools is evinced in the request from the Board of Education, through Dr. Henry M. Leipziger, Superin- tendent of Lectures, for duplicates of the slides and text of these lectures, for incorporation in the free courses to the public. A series of these lectures were given on Tuesday evenings at the Museum, the attendance being so great that on each occasion several hundred persons were unable to gain admission.

XV-Xxiii.) _ Reference was made in my preceding report to the number of papers, the publication of which was deferred until 1898 for lack of money. Most of these have now been published, for which purpose an additional appropriation was made this year. The list of articles proposed for publication in 1899 will require more than double the amount expended in 1898, and I regret to be compelled to disallow a large proportion of the amount, owing to lack of funds. EXCHANGE OF DUPLICATE MATERIAL.—The exchange of dupli- cate material has been stimulated through correspondence with foreign museums. Many of the smaller institutions abroad have been brought into relation with this Museum, and the system of exchanges will be further extended during the coming year. The exchanges made by the Department of Vertebrate Zodlogy have been mainly with museums in this country ; those made by the Departments of Anthropology and Vertebrate Paleontology have been with prominent foreign museums. In each case this Institution has acquired very desirable material. PHOTOGRAPHY.—The use of photographs in illustrating the collections has increased. In some instances, they show the natural surroundings of the place whence the specimens were ‘NOILIGHdXY SIAIDV HLYON ansal ‘avay AO NOILVIWNOAAC TWIDIAILYY DONIMOHG ‘NYO M, OWINSOY “ROOTOCONHINY LO DNUN LUV ECT Leport of the President. 25 excavated, and in other cases the objects in position before their removal. The field parties of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition ; the expeditions to Mexico under Mr. M. H. Saville and Dr. Carl Lumbholtz ; and of the Department of Vertebrate Palzontology in the West have all made liberal use of the camera. Some of the negatives are utilized in the preparation of enlarged transparencies, for display in the windows of the exhibition halls. Use OF COLLECTIONS.—A very noticeable increase is observed in the number of teachers who visit the halls, accompanied by their classes, and the more general use of the collections by stu- dents and scientists. The collections of woods and building- stones are utilized by builders, mechanics, and architects for comparison and study to a greater extent than before. IncomE.—The increase of our Annual Membership is not com- mensurate with the growth of the city, comprising as it does only 716 members for the current year. It is from this source that the Museum receives a portion of its revenue, and as the income is devoted to the purchase of specimens to enrich the collections, it is hoped that more of our citizens will become members, either by the annual payment of $10, or by a subscription of $100 as a Life Member. If each Annual Subscriber would take an interest in securing one additional member, the results would be very gratifying. As will be seen in the Treasurer’s report, the income for the year has been insufficient to meet the current expenses of the Museum. There is a great need, not only for an increase in the annual appropriation by the city for the cost of maintenance, but the in- vested fund should also be augmented to provide the means for obtaining new collections and specimens. The Endowment Fund amounts to $362,000, giving a yearly income of $18,100. A large portion of this income is pledged for payment on 1m- portant collections, which in its early days the Museum had to secure. We need largely increased receipts from this source, and I hope, now that the Museum has been firmly established as one of the great attractions of our city, and one of its most useful institutions for the welfare and education of its people, that this appeal for aid will not pass unheeded. 26 Report of the President. Our hearty thanks are due to the officials of our city, who have coéperated heartily with the Museum in all that relates to the work of the Trustees. It is also a pleasure to record, on behalf of my associates and myself, our appreciation of the efficient service rendered during the year by the staff of the Museum. Morris K. JEsup, President.

On the occasion of the Annual Meeting of the Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History, held Febuary 14, 1898, the following minute was unanimously adopted; the Secretary was directed to record the same on the minutes, and present a copy thereof to the family of their deceased colleague, Daniel Jackson Steward : feesolved : That the Trustees hereby record their deep sorrow for the loss of their associate and friend DANIEL JACKSON STEWARD. Mr. Steward was associated with the Institution since its incep- tion, having been one of its incorporators, and subsequently its Second Vice-President, to which office he was elected in 1878. His deep interest as a Trustee was enhanced by an inherent love for all branches of natural history. The department which received his closest study was that relating to conchology, and the gift of his superb cabinet of shells attests his love for this domain of nature. Mr. Steward was always earnest and painstaking in his duties, so long as his health permitted his presence at the meetings of the Board and the Executive Committee, and although permanently disabled by illness, his great interest in the collections remained unchanged. We gratefully record an acknowledgement of his generosity in the gift which bears his name, and we recognize in the com- bination of his artistic instincts and mental accomplishments, a character pre-eminent in these qualities. We hereby extend to his family, the expression of our individual sympathy, recalling the consoling thought of his honorable and unblemished life. 80 RS i eh ay ee Bir 2, HS Sat La, 4 es Rees 2 Street and Central Park, West.) ay ANNUAL ReEpoRT OF THE PRESIDENT, TCD eh Ve gs ica tie ~ Se a REASURER’S REPORT, LIST OF ACCESSIONS, ~ ACT OF INCORPORATION, | CONSTITUTION, . ‘ - - BYLAWS AND LIST OF MEMBERS - ‘ ne epee For THE YEAR 1899. +5 ay PRINTED FOR THE MUSEUM. a} Ba ats Me Ren 72 a Tei hie % Le ’ , ay e-) P x mie ee > ie ss}oan tory ‘aeg yy Saog ‘pap 006E “WOT YINOS AUNOLSIH IVYALYN AO WOUSOAW NVOLYAWNY *£1OPSTFT [WANIVN JO Winasnyy UvoLtowy “OOGT * acdo9 TE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK CITY.

To the Trustees and Members of the American Museum of Natural Ffistory: I take pleasure in presenting the following report of the opera- tions of the Museum for the year closing December 31, 1899: FINANCES.—Your attention is invited to the Treasurer’s report on pages 34, 35, 36 and 37. In response to a statement presented by me, showing the balances due on the purchase of collections, and the estimated deficit for maintaining the Museum during the year, the Trustees very generously subscribed the sum of $68,500, as shown in detail in the Treasurer’s report. I am gratified to record that the floating indebtedness of the Institution has been removed; the liberality of the Trustees has thus made it possible to extend its interests in the support of field work and ‘the purchase of desirable material. The income of the Endow- ment fund has been depleted each year to make good the deficit in the cost of maintenance. From the time of opening the Museum to the close of this year $241,283 have been diverted from this fund to make good the expense of maintaining the Museum in excess of the appropriations made by the city. Tue Boarp or TrustTeEs.—At the annual meeting of the Board, held February 13th, Dr. Frederick E. Hyde was elected a Trustee, and subsequently made a member of the Executive Committee to serve for the term of five years. On the closing page of this report will be found a resolution adopted by the Trustees in relation to the decease of our late associate, Cornelius Vanderbilt. Mr. Vanderbilt was elected a Trustee in 1878, and actively served for eight years as a member of the Executive and Auditing IO Report of the President. Committees. He was always zealous and punctilious in the per- formance of his duties as a Trustee, and generously codperated in every project which would advance the interests of the Institution. LEGISLATION.—Chapter 126 of the Laws of 1899, approved by the Governor March 234d last, authorizes the city to appropriate a further sum of $40,000 for the maintenance of the Museum. I regret that it was not in the power of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to grant an increase in the appropriation for the current year. MEMBERSHIP.—Dr,. Frederick E. Hyde, Mrs. John B. Trevor, Mr. John Belknap Marcou and Dr. Phillipe Marcou have been elected “ Patrons.’’ Mr. Robert S. Brewster becamea “Fellow,” and Messrs. James B. Ford, Morris Loeb, Grenville Lindall Win- throp, E. Dwight Church, Arthur Ryle, James Speyer, George C. Boldt, William L. Flanagan, August Belmont, James H. Hyde, J. Turner Atterbury, Norman Grant, Richard S. Lull, William R. Warren, Theodore Cooper and Mrs. Catharine L. Olmstead were elected “ Life Members.” The Museum has lost by death during the year, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Robert Bonner of its roll of “Patrons,” and the following-named “‘ Life Members”: Theodore D. Howell, Francis P. Freeman, John King, James Low, John G. Moore, E. R. H. Lyman, Henry B. Plant, Fred F. Thompson, Charles E. Tilford, Albon W. Towne. The names of deceased annual members are also recorded at the close of the report. The loss of annual members caused by death and resignation has been more than offset by new subscribers, and the year closes with an increase of seventy members. Joun B. TrREvor Funp.—It affords me pleasure to refer to the very generous gift of S10,000, received from Mrs. John B. Trevor. With the consent and approval of the donor the sum was invested in securitites to be designated “ The John B. Trevor Fund,” the income of which is to be expended in the discretion of the Trustees. Bequest.—The will of the late Charles E. Tilford provides that the Trustees shall ultimately receive a bequest of $25,000. Report of the President. II ADDITIONS TO THE BuiLDING.—Early in the year the favorable conditions in the cost of building encouraged the Trustees to con- sider that the time was opportune for the completion of the east and west wing corners and the new Lecture Hall, and that the unex- pended balances from the several appropriations would be sufficient to meet the cost of this work. We were disappointed in our expec- tations, however, owing to the rapid increase in the cost of labor and the great advance in the cost of iron construction. These conditions compelled the abandonment of the first series of plans and the preparation of a scheme modified to meet the situation. Specifications were prepared for the completion and equipment of the new Lecture Hall only; the present hall being inadequate to meet the increasing demands of the public. The contract was awarded to Thomas Cockerill & Son, they being the lowest bid- der; and I am assured that the Lecture Hall will be completed during May, r1goo. TRANSPORTATION.—It is a pleasure to acknowledge the court- eous and liberal assistance accorded the Museum by the following railroad companies: The Central Pacific, the Union Pacific, the Wabash and Missouri Pacific lines, the Canadian Pacific, the Chicago & Northwestern, the Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fé, the Denver & Rio Grande, the Mexican Central, the Internacional, and the Erie. These corporations have substantially aided the work of our field parties in the Western and Southwestern States, and in British Columbia. Early in the year an invitation to visit the Museum was ex- tended to the President of the United States of Mexico, in antici- pation of his proposed tour of our country; the visit was deferred owing to the pressure of his official duties. Secretary of State Mariscal and suite subsequently visited the Museum on October 18th, and were received and entertained on behalf of the Board of Trustees. ATTENDANCE.—The number of visitors from January rst to December 31st was 458,451. The report is very gratifying, inasmuch as we were obliged to close the Museum on Tuesday and Saturday evenings between May and October, in order to 12 Report of the President. make many needed alterations and repairs to the steam and elec- tric lighting plant. During previous years no record was kept of the number of school children visiting the Museum. This class of visitors became very noticeable in the early months of the year, and a card system was adopted showing the name or number of the school, whether a public or private school, the grade of the class and number of visitors, and the name of the teacher in charge. Desir- ing to afford these pupils the largest use of the collections, I gave instructions that classes with their teachers should have free admission on every day of the week regardless of the closed days. The results have been very gratifying. From the date of the first record, May 20th, to December 31st, 2,988 scholars have visited the halls to study the specimens under the supervision and instruction of their teachers; the latter it. is fair to assume also profited largely by the knowledge acquired. More than half of these scholars came from this city and the remainder from Brooklyn, Newburgh, Whitestone and Staten Island, while fifteen cities and towns in New Jersey contributed 638 of the total number. Accessions.—A detailed list of accessions is appended in the later pages of this report. Bradford’s well-known oil painting of “The Polaris in the Ice at Thank God Harbor,” was presented to the Trustees by C. P. Huntington, Esq., and Mrs. Robert Wood- worth presented a marble bust of “ Milton”’; these gifts are placed in the public reading room of the Library. The Peary Arctic Club of this city has donated a number of valuable specimens collected during the year by Lieut. Robert E. Peary in the Arctic regions, and brought here on the return of the supply vessel sent North during the summer. The American Ethnological Society of this city has permanently deposited its library with the Museum. The library numbers 750 volumes and 270 pamphlets, mostly referring to Ethnology and Archeology. EXPEDITIONS.—Each year’s work of the Museum in the field of exploration develops the importance of its expeditions in securing valuable material. The following brief summary of the reports of Report of the President. 13 the Curators in this connection will give a general idea of the re- sults of the several expeditions during the past year. THE Jesup NortuH Paciric ExPepITIoN.— Dr. Berthold Laufer continued his work on the Amoor and returned to Japan early in November. According to last reports he was awaiting the arrival of his collections, which are to be shipped from Japan to the Museum. His reports indicate that the results of his investiga- tions are of great importance. Dr. Laufer investigated thoroughly the Aino and Gilyak of the Island of Saghalin, and later he vis- ited the Gold and Gilyak tribes inhabiting the banks of the Amoor. On his journey down the river he discovered interesting archzo- logical remains. His collections illustrate the industries, customs and beliefs of the peoples he visited ; he also secured much information relating to the native languages. Mr. Harlan I. Smith spent five months on the coast of Wash- ington and British Columbia continuing his investigations on the archeology of that region. The most important results of his journey are the establishment of the southern limits of North Pacific culture and of the distribution of cairn burial on Van- couver Island. He made an extensive collection illustrating the archeology of the Puget Sound region and of the interior of southern British Columbia, which is of great importance for a study of the distribution of the prehistoric tribes in that area. Mr. George Hunt continued his work among the Kwakiutl tribes of northern Vancouver Island. He has sent an interesting collection of the ceremonial objects, tools and implements of that tribe, accompanied with full explanations. Mr. James Teit visited the Lillooet tribe, and made a collection which shows the influence of the Coast tribes upon this people. NorTH AMERICAN INDIAN RESEARCH.—A beginning has been made in the investigations on the Indian tribes of North America, with the special view of studying the vanishing customs of the Plains Indians. The results of these investigations are very en- couraging, and-it is to be hoped that the Museum may be able to continue and extend its work in this direction. Through the generosity of Mr. C. P. Huntington an explorer was sent to California. The work was intrusted to Mr. Roland 14 Report of the President. B. Dixon, who investigated the Maidu Indians of northern Cali- fornia. The results of his work are an interesting collection of basketry, utensils and feather ornaments of these Indians, and a series of casts and photographs illustrating the type of people. Besides this, Mr. Dixon accumulated considerable material on the structure of the Maidu language and much ethnological infor- mation. In connection with the Huntington investigations in California an important collection of pottery of the Southwestern tribes was made by Mr. G. P. Winship. A gift from Mrs. Morris K. Jesup enabled us to send another investigator to Indian Territory. Mr. Alfred L. Kroeber was charged with the investigation of the Arapaho Indians. He made avery important collection illustrating the ceremonials and the symbolism of the tribe which is of special value to this Museum. Mr. Kroeber’s work is also of great scientific interest on account of the new information obtained in regard to the significance of decorative designs of the Arapaho. Mr. Kroeber also secured much linguistic material. Eskimo REsEARCH.—In 1897 a full list of desiderata and sug- gestions for enquiries was furnished to Capt. George Comer who was about to visit the west coast of Hudson Bay. Capt. Comer, in following out these suggestions, made an excellent collection illustrating the arts and customs of the Eskimo tribes which he visited at Chesterfield Inlet, Wager River and Southampton Island. The collection from the Southampton Island Eskimo is remark- able on account of the primitive character of the tribe, which has never been visited by whites and 1s still living in the stone age. THE Hyper SOUTHWESTERN ExXpepITION.—The work of this expedition, which is entirely under the patronage of the Messrs. B. Talbot B. Hyde and F. E. Hyde, Jr., consisted in the further exploration of the ruins known as “ Pueblo Bonito,” in the Chaco Cafion, New Mexico; the exploration of several ancient burial sites near other ruins in the Chaco and adjoining cafions; the ex- amination of ruins in the cafions, on the mesas, and in the cliffs, as part of a general survey of the archzology of the region in- cluded in the adjoining corners of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah Report of the President. 15 and Arizona. The Curator of the Department was in the field with this expedition for several weeks. The other members of the ex- pedition for the season were Mr. F. E. Hyde, Jr., Mr. G. H. Pep- per, Mr. Richard Wetherill, Prof. R. E. Dodge and Dr. A. Hrdlicka. To Professor Dodge was assigned the investigation of the geological and geographical conditions and a study of the geologi- cal evidence of the antiquity of the ruins with special reference to those in the Chaco Cafion. Dr. Hrdlicka was charged with the special work of securing human skeletons, and of making a study of the living Indians in the region, in order to obtain somatolo- gical data for comparison of the ancient with the modern peo- ples. Messrs. Pepper and Wetherill continued the special ex- ploration of the ruins of Bonito, in which they have been so successfully engaged for the past three years. The Curator’s time was devoted principally to a study of the facts relating to the antiquity of the ruins and to the cause of the desertion of this ancient pueblo by a once numerous and agricultural people, after so much labor had been expended in house building and in exten- sive irrigation. In addition to the very large collection of objects obtained by the parties attached to the expedition, there was also se- cured an exceedingly important collection from the ancient burial caves in Grand Gulch, the remains of a people evidently distinct from the builders of the ancient stone pueblos and cliff-houses. THE PERUVIAN ExpEpDITION.—The researches by Dr. Bandelier in Peru and Bolivia, of which mention has been made in past reports, have been continued during the year; a large shipment of specimens obtained from ancient sites in the vicinity of Lake Titicaca is now on its way to the Museum. This expedition was begun under the patronage of Mr. Henry Villard in July, 1892, and has since April, 1894, been continued by the Trustees of the Museum. The collection already received is very exten- sive, and illustrates the highest stage of civilization attained in prehistoric time in South America. THE EXPLORATION OF THE TRENTON GRAVELS AND OF THE DELAWARE VALLEY.—This important research has been continued through the year by the generous patronage of Dr. F. E. Hyde. Mr. Ernest Volk has thus been able to continue his daily exam- 16 Report of the President. ination of the glacial gravel as it is removed by the railroad com- pany, or of the underlying sand as it is dug away for the use of the potteries, or with his trowel to enlarge his trenches inch by inch. During this careful work numerous stone implements have been found zz szfz in what is admitted by several competent geolo- gists to be the deposit made at the closing of the glacial period. He has also secured a portion of the scapula of a musk ox which was found in the sand layer underlying the true glacial gravel. On the first day of December last, Mr. Volk himself discovered and removed with his own hands a fragment of a human femur, which was zz sztu seven feet from the surface in the sand layer beneath the undisturbed glacial gravel, the true Trenton gravel of all geologists. Photographs and careful observations bearing on this most important discovery were made; and there seems to be no reason to doubt that this bone is as old as the deposit in which it was found. The bone is very white and chalky, and upon its surface can still be traced a number of striz having the appear- ance of glacial scratches, like those on a highly polished pebble taken from the same layer a few feet distant. On December 6th Mr. Volk found three fragments of a portion of a human parietal in the talus about twenty-five feet from the spot where the femur was discovered zz s¢¢tu. These pieces of a human skull were lying on the recently fallen talus in such a position that it was evident they had been dislodged from the sand layer under the gravel. Like the femur, they are chalky, striated and slightly stained by iron derived from the gravel. The three pieces fit together and form part of a parietal bone. Mr. Volk has also dis- covered in one of his deep trenches, at about six feet from the sur- face, fragmentary remains of portions of three skeletons lying near together and below an unbroken, unmixed thin stratum of sand. The geological conditions relating to this discovery are not yet fully understood ; but that the age of these skeletons is very great there can be no doubt. Mr. Volk has also been able to carry on an exploration of an Indian site on the lowlands near Trenton, from which he has obtained several skeletons in good condition, as well as a large quantity of artifacts of various kinds. It is hoped that Mr. Volk’s employment in archeological researches in various parts of the upper Delaware valley may be continued. 2 HALL CONTAINING LOUBAYT COLLECTION, ILLUSTRATING THIS PRE-HISTORIC SCULPTURES OF MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA Report of the Prestdent. 1 ARCHZOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN NEw York.— By the assistance of Mr. Theodore Cooper and Mr. William R. Warren, several important explorations have been made within the city limits, at Croton Neck and at a few other places in the State. These explorations were intrusted mainly to Mr. M. Raymond Harrington. Mr. M. H. Saville made an exploration of an Indian site in Schoharie County, where he obtained a number of stone implements ; but the explorations could not be carried on to the extent desired. In Pelham Park, on the shores of Pelham Bay, Mr. Harrington was successful in the exploration of an old Indian village site and burial-place, from which he obtained several Indian skeletons and many bones of animals which had been used for food ; also pottery, stone implements, and various other objects. At Croton Neck there is a large artificial embankment connected with an Indian village site and burial-place. Here, by permission of the brick company owning the land, Mr. Harrington made ex- tensive explorations. He found a number of skeletons of Indians, with many implements of stone and bone, considerable Indian pot- tery, and a few ornaments of Indian make. He secured also several objects which the Indians had obtained from the early set- tlers, showing that this site was occupied by the Indians until after the settlement of New York. Mr. Harrington also explored, in whole or in part, several shell-heaps. He examined, besides, a number of Indian sites in Westchester and Rockland counties and on Long Island. Altogether these explorations and examinations have added important and authentic material to our yet meagre collection illustrating the Indian occupation of New York and its vicinity. They have also proved that much can still be found if no time is lost in continuing the research. RESEARCH IN FLoriDA.—In the spring of 1899, thanks to the kindness of Mrs. Esther Herrman, the Curator of the Department of Anthropology was able to give a few weeks to archeological and geological researches about Tampa Bay, Florida. By the assistance of Capt. B. Coe, who kindly put his steamer and dredges at the disposal of the Curator, the latter was able to have pass under his eyes a large amount of the phosphate material dredged from the bottom of the Alafia River. Brought up with the bones 18 Report of the President. of many extinct animals of late tertiary times, were several imple- ments made of the bones of a large deer, and a few chips of chalcedony. While the discovery of these implements does not prove any geological antiquity,— since they may have been made from a still existing elk and have been washed into the river,—yet they are of interest in connection with the consider- able number of bones and teeth of extinct animals which were obtained. The material received from the special expeditions, to which reference has been made, the several exchanges and important collections purchased, and the numerous gifts of friends, have re- sulted in the greatest number of accessions ever received by the department in a single year. Over 16,000 entries, including several times that number of specimens, have been made during the year in the catalogue of the Department of Anthropology. The past five years have exemplified what can be done in gradu- ally forming in the various divisions of anthropology, collections that shall be worthy of this great Museum. Already the collec- tions in archeology, ethnology and physical anthropology have placed the Museum in the very front rank in anthropology, while in several of its sections it is far in advance of all other museums. In other sections, however, it is still far behind in presenting the history of man and his works. While we should not curtail in the slightest degree any of the special work which, thanks to the patrons of the Museum, the department is now so successfully prosecuting, we must hope and strive for the means of doing similar work in other regions. Now is the time to make our utmost efforts to collect in various fields. Every year is making both archzeological and ethnological research more difficult, and delay in the work means less results at greater cost. The arche- ology and ethnology of a large portion of America is inadequately or not at all represented in our collections, while our exhibits from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and many of the Pacific Islands are very meagre. From all these regions we should have large collections, and for this work we must hope that special patrons will come to the assistance of the Museum. Report of the President. 19 Three expeditions were conducted by the Department of Ver- tebrate Palzontology as follows : tr. Dinosaurs.—The third expedition for Dinosaurs was con- ducted by Mr. Walter Granger under the direction of the Curator, in the Jurassic beds of Wyoming. Continued explorations of the famous “Bone Cabin Quarry”’ resulted in the discovery of 131 specimens of Dinosaurs, many of which were new to our collec- tion. Nearby was found nearly one-half the skeleton of the largest Dinosaur known, the Brontosaurus, an extremely valuable accession. ‘The party also secured part of the skeleton of a fossil crocodile and of an Ichthyosaur. Dr. W. D. Matthew rendered valuable assistance to this expedition. The Curator spent two weeks in the supervision of this work in the field. Prof. R. S. Lull, of Amherst, codperated ably as a volunteer, and has since been made a life member of the Museum. 2. Mammats.—The eighth expedition for fossil mammals was conducted by Mr. J. W. Gidley in northern Texas. These beds have been very little explored, and we secured a remarkable col- lection including five more or less complete skeletons of the fossil horse, the last representative of its race, greatly needed to illus- trate the evolution of horses in America. Also the fore limb of a Mammoth, a considerable part of the skeleton and a complete skull of a Mastodon, all beautiful exhibition material. 3. Paraconta.—The Patagonian Expedition was continued by Mr. Barnum Brown, who has reported frequently upon his very successful work. Fourteen boxes of fossils have been received at the Museum, and Mr. Brown has been directed to return to work this material up and receive more specific instructions for his future work. He reports a fine lot of material, which will supple- ment our purchase of the Cope Pampean Collection in giving us the history of the life upon our sister continent. ZOOLOGICAL EXPEDITIONS.—The Museum has received during the year important collections from the James M. Constable Expe- dition to the Northwest Territory and Arctic America, conducted by Mr. A. J. Stone, including a fine series of specimens of the Arctic White Sheep, and a number of specimens of a new species 20 Report of the President. of Caribou, as well as many small mammals, several of which proved new to science. Not less important are the geographical results of Mr. Stone’s work, and the large amount of information he obtained respecting the distribution and habits of the large mammals of the far North. It is hoped that means will be found for continuing Mr. Stone’s work during the coming year. Explorations in the United States of Colombia, conducted by Mr. Herbert H. Smith, and made practicable by the support afforded the Expedition by the President, have resulted in the addition of one of the finest and largest collections of mammals ever collected at any single locality in South America, and a very large and exceedingly valuable collection of birds. Provision has been made for the continuation of the work for another year. Arrangements have also been made for extensive zodlogical work during the next two years in Eastern Siberia, an experienced zoological collector having been detailed to accompany the field party of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition assigned to this sec- tion of the work. DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.—In the Department of Anthropology a large amount of work has been accomplished during the year, both in the field and in the Museum. The sey- eral expeditions have brought in a mass of material collected by trained archeologists and ethnologists. The specimens thus col- lected are of great scientific importance, as every object is authentic, illustrates some particular phase of the status of culture of extinct or present tribes, and furnishes the means of comparative study and the determination of relationships of the various peoples. ‘The illustration of the life history of the various groups of man is thus constantly being developed in the Museum, as collection after collection is arranged and brought into its proper place in the exhibition halls. During the year the north ethnological hall (No. 106) has been arranged so as to show in an instructive manner the great mass of material illustrating the archeology and ethnology of the northwestern portion of America. The cases in the western part Report of the President. 21 of the hall are filled with collections secured by the Jesup North Pacific Expedition on the Island of Vancouver and in British Columbia and Alaska; the other collections from the same region are so arranged as to particularly illustrate different sub- jects pertaining to the manufactures, arts, ceremonies and mode of life of the people. ‘This hall was re-opened to the public on Thanksgiving Day. In December the arrangement of the west hall (No. 408) on the fourth floor was completed, and it was immediately afterward thrown open tothe public. This hall is devoted to the archeology of Mexico and Central America, and contains the instructive and imposing series of casts presenting in fac-simile the great stele, altars and other large stone sculptures, and many slabs with finely carved bas-reliefs. The numerous hieroglyphic inscriptions on these sculptured stones, the representations of mythical animals and the symbolic carvings, furnish a mass of material for the study of the ancient civilizations of Mexico and Central America which is unsurpassed in any museum. Added to this are many original specimens of sculptured stones, of pottery and of ornaments, together with a remarkable collection of carvings and ornaments of jadeite and an exhibit of copper objects. To further facilitate the study of the Mexican pictograph writing and the Maya hiero- glyphs, there are here placed on exhibition reproductions of a number of ancient Mexican and Maya codices. ‘The student is thus provided in this single hall with materials for study which, before this collection was brought together, he could not have seen except by traveling long distances in America and Europe in order to find a sculpture here and a codex there. In this hall he can compare the objects directly one with another as he carries on his investigations. It is unquestionably an unequaled exhibit for the encouragement of research,—one that will naturally lead to the further study of ancient American civilizations. As the difficulty of securing such material increases from year to year, the value of such a collection is correspondingly enhanced. We are greatly indebted to the Duke of Loubat, the generous patron who has made it possible for the Museum to make this unique exhibit,— the most important collection in existence for the study of the ancient civilizations of Mexico and Central America. 22 Report of the President. The west hall (No. 308) on the third floor, containing the South American exhibits, and the west ethnological hall (No. tog) on the first floor, in which are arranged the collections relating to the Indian tribes of North America and to the Eskimo, are in a forward state of preparation for final opening. The cases in the west hall (No. 210) on the second floor are still in process of construction. In this hall will be placed the collections illustrating the archzeology and ethnology of the pueblo peoples of the Southwest, the archzeological collections from the mounds, and from prehistoric village sites and burial-places, in the central and eastern United States. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND ASSOCIATED DEPARTMENTS.— The Curator’s report shows that a large amount of work has been done in this department. In the geological hall a new method of installation was tried in one of the cases. The general appearance of small dull- colored geological specimens set in white cardboard trays with white labels is not pleasing, and so experiments were begun with the purpose of improving it. In the experimental case prepared during the year by Dr. Hovey, the cardboard trays were dis- pensed with and the specimens placed on light buff card tablets with the labels of the same color. Black wooden strips served to break up the shelf into agreeable areas. The card tablets were made to exactly cover the shelves. It was then decided to experi- ment with the French gray color in the adjoining wall and desk cases. In this instance the card tablets used were of uniform size with the ordinary trays, an arrangement which makes them interchangeable and avoids the frequent disarrangement of a large area of specimens. The two new desk cases of a larger pattern, constructed for the alcoves.in the palzontological hall, provided room for an expan- sion and better display of their contents. This treatment should be adopted in all the alcoves; the old and unsatisfactory cases should be discarded. Much has been done in the way of labeling in other parts of the collection. Besides the rearrangement of the specimens as stated, 2,435 new labels have been added. Much attention has been Report of the President. 23 given, during the year, in working over the collections of fossils, obtained in the past by donation, exchange and purchase, but stored for lack of case room. The cataloguing of the type specimens in this hall has steadily progressed, and it is estimated that the work will extend over the coming two years. Space has been provided for the expansion of the Mineral col- lection by the removal of the alcoholic specimens to a case in the vestibule of the fifth floor, where they are stored pending their permanent installation elsewhere. No important additions have been made to the collection of Gems, with the exception of a very fine pearl and an ounce of Klondike gold nuggets. The Curator strongly recommends the formation of a collection of month or birth stones, mottoes, regard and other sentimental series, as a popular supplement to the Gem collection. Another series pertaining to religion could be added. These series would illustrate the sentimental use to which gems and gem stones have been put by different nations and religions at different periods of history, and would present a feature of general and educational interest. A large portion of the collection of Shells has been removed from the central hall to the main hall of the fifth floor. All of the D. Jackson Steward collection was thus removed and placed in five of the upright cases and four desk cases. The collection has been arranged on sloping shelves covered with dark-green cloth. This forms a background of dark color, which throws the varied hues of the shells into stronger relief. The principal and most notable accession is the Terrell Collec- tion of Fossil Fishes from Ohio, which was very kindly donated by William E. Dodge, Esq. Three important meteorites and two fine slabs of polished spheroidal granite from Finland were added by purchase. A showy collection of minerals was also purchased with funds donated for the purpose by Miss Matilda W. Bruce, and a collection of characteristic minerals of New York was presented by Mr. Ernest Schnernikow, of this city. 24 Report of the President. THE DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY has received 1,108 mammals, 3,139 birds, about 1,200 reptiles and 23 fishes. The most important additions have been received from the Jesup and Constable expeditions, and from Colonel Nicolas Pike, who has kindly presented to the Museum his large collection of New York reptiles. We have also received a number of valuable speci- mens in the flesh from the New York Zodlogical Park and from the Central Park Menagerie. The accessions greatly exceed those of any recent year, and include not only a large amount of material for exhibition, but many mammals from tropical and arctic America wholly new to science. About forty mammals, mostly large specimens, have been added to the exhibition series. These include a number of rare African Antelopes, and also Deer, Peccaries, and other mammals from South America. Six groups for the collection of New York Mammals have been completed and two others remodeled for this collection. There are now fourteen of these groups finished and on exhibition, and work on the others is steadily progressing. About one hundred birds have been added to the exhibition collection, and also several new bird groups, including as the most notable the large Brown Pelican group. The “ Local Collection of Birds,” which includes the species found within fifty miles of New York City, has been installed and forms one of the most instructive features of the department. Besides representing nearly all of the birds found in this immediate region, there are special cases devoted to the birds found here at particular seasons, the specimens being changed from month to month in order to show just what birds are present with us at any given season of the year. This arrangement proves very serviceable to local bird students, who thus have only a few specimens to pass in review in their search for any particular species. Considerable material has been gathered for additional bird groups, and several thousand specimens of birds have been received from South America, which furnish many desirable species for mounting. In the DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALZONTOLOGY, 1899 has been a notable year, especially in the munificent gift of the Cope Collection of North American Fishes, Amphibians and Rep- Report of the President. 25 tiles by the President, and of the Cope Collection of Pampean Mammals, by Messrs. Havemeyer, Dodge, James, Iselin, Con- stable and Osborn. The acquisition of these collections connects the Palzozoic with the Age of Man and the Department of Anthropology. We greatly regret to record the resignation of Dr. J. L. Wortman, who has served the Department since its inception, with great care, ability and energy. His untiring devotion to the field work, especially in the leadership of all parties to the Rocky Mountain regions between 1890 and 1898 inclusive, is shown in the unrivalled collection now on exhibition in the Tertiary Hall, and also in the rich study series reserved in the Department. The Curator takes great pleasure in acknowledging this splendid service. A special chart placed in the Exhibition Hall, showing the various Museum expeditions in which Dr. Wortman had charge of the field parties, will constitute a permanent record of his services. Dr. Wortman’s resignation has led to the promotion of Dr. W. D. Matthew to the First Assistant Curatorship, and to the call of Dr. O. P. Hay from Washington as Second Assistant Curator. The Reptile field work has been placed in the hands of Mr. Walter Granger, and the mammal field work in charge of Mr. J. W. Gidley. In previous reports the importance of exchanges with foreign museums has been dwelt upon, and it is gratifying to us, that at last this branch of our work is well under way. During the past year we have received valuable collections from the following institutions : From the Royal Saxon Geological Survey, 29 skeletons of Amphibians. From the Museum of the fonedom of Bavaria, Prag, casts of 20 fossil vertebrates. From the Museum of Natural History, Lyons, casts of 3 and original specimens of ro species of fossil mammals. From the Museum of Paleontology, Paris, casts of 5 specimens of fossil mammals. (Second shipment). From the Museum of the University of Lyons, 47 specimens of fossil mammals. Very valuable and interesting. From the Royal Bavarian Museum, Munich, casts of 7 speci- mens of fossil vertebrates. 26 Report of the President. All of these specimens will be of great value to our Exhibition Hall. In return we have sent out collections which are highly appreciated and will carry the name and work of the Museum abroad. Steady progress has been made inthe Exhibition Hall. The Cura- tor especially calls attention to the mammoth sea lizard skeleton and seven complete limbs and a number of other specimens of Dinosaurs ; also to a beautiful slab of rock from Colorado, con- taining the skulls and skeletons of five fossil mammals, making a rare and beautiful exhibit; also finally to many new smaller installations. Photography has become of increased importance both in con- nection with exhibition and publication. We have now developed an almost perfect system of photography. Our field negatives are systematically arranged in large albums, and the negatives duly numbered as the permanent property of the Museum. Enlarge- ments are used in the cases showing the process of discovery and excavation of the specimens in the field, and photographs are used in connection with descriptive labels to illustrate typical specimens in the several departments. DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.—The Hoffman collection of South American and Indian Butterflies has been placed on exhibi- tion. The Rev. Dr. Hoffman has donated 300 additional speci- mens during the year. The Local Collection of Insects has been transferred from the north wing to the gallery of the main building (No. 304). Over 5,000 specimens have been added to the collection, which now contains about 75,000 specimens. About 2,000 more are ready to be added as soon as the species can be identified. As it stands at present, lacking the complete life histories of the insects, the collection leaves much to be desired both from the scientific and educational standpoints. In the east wing (No. 302) about 500 new specimens have been placed on exhibition. The important study collection of Beetles is being assorted and properly arranged. All the collections have been examined and poisoned, to insure Report of the Prestdent. yl their safety from destructive influences. About 1,000 specimens have been obtained through work in the field. The entomo- logical collections will shortly be installed in more permanent quarters. Lirprary.—The librarian reports accessions during the year equal to 1,841 volumes. ‘This is only about a third of what was received last year. The total number of volumes now in the Library is 43,532. A partial list of the numbers wanted to complete the serial publications of the various geological surveys and scientific socie- ties has been distributed to the State libraries and geological surveys. The results obtained have been very satisfactory. The work of incorporating the Marcou library with the rest of the library is now well advanced. Besides its great value as a whole, this accession fills many existing gaps in serial publications which we already have. DEPARTMENT OF PuBLic INsrRuCTIon.—Under the auspices of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Prof. A. S. Bickmore, the Curator in charge of this department, has delivered to the teachers of the public schools of the greater city of New York the usual courses of lectures. Professor Bickmore has also given lectures on holidays, as provided in the contract between the Museum and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Hon. Charles R. Skinner. Two courses of four lectures each were delivered by Professor Bickmore to the members of the Museum. The free public lec- tures given under the auspices of the Board of Education have been attended by crowded audiences. Several hundred persons were unable to gain admission at each lecture. The new lecture hall, now nearing completion, will provide much additional space, and will obviate the discomfort of crowded audiences. Several other courses of lectures were delivered under the auspices of Columbia University and other institutions. These are noted in the appended list. 28 Report of the President.

By William Beutenmiiller. (Bull. XII, pp. 157-160.) Several papers for the Bulletin and Memoirs are well under way, including a Monograph of the Sesiide by Mr. Beutenmiiller, with several colored plates, for Volume I of the Memoirs. Owing to lack of funds for the publication of all the material that has been prepared relating to the work of the Museum, several papers have been published in other scientific journals, by permission of the Museum authorities. Early in the coming year the publication of a periodical, to be called “The American Museum Journal,” will be commenced. It will contain short articles relating to the past and present work of the Museum, and is intended to keep the members informed respecting the work carried on in the several departments. I take pleasure in calling the attention of the members of the Museum to the important results of the various expeditions during the past year. In some instances the work has been supported from the funds of the Museum, but in the main, the cost of field research has been met by private contributions. A very encouraging beginning has been made in the investiga- tion of some of the Indian tribes of California and the Indian Territory ; an extended reference to which is made in a preceding Report of the President. 20 page of this report. The marked success already achieved has prompted the donors to increase their contributions for the com- ing year; and I am gratified to add that another friend of the Museum has generously subscribed a sum for the extension of the field work among the Indian tribes of Oregon and Washington. The rapid expansion of our collections more than keeps pace with the recent additions to the building, and it is manifest that the space available for exhibition is already inadequate for the material now on hand. In this connection, it should be remem- bered that the accessions to the collections from all sources steadily increase with each succeeding year. We are indebted to the municipal authorities for their cordial coéperation with our efforts to complete the recent extensions of the building; likewise, for an increase of the annual appropria- tion, as authorized in the law enacted by the Legislature in March last. I have heretofore dwelt on the necessity for a largely increased Endowment Fund, and I trust that in the near future this much- desired result may be accomplished. I desire to record an expression of my earnest appreciation of the generous aid and codperation which I have received from my colleagues. On behalf of the Trustees I extend their thanks to those mem- bers and friends who have aided the Museum during the year by contributions of money or specimens. To the Curators and their assistants, and others in charge of the several departments, my thanks are due for the praise-worthy manner in which they have carried on the work assigned to them.

Hunt- ington, Jonas G. Clark, Appleton Sturgis and James Baker Smith, all “Patrons” of the Museum; and of Messrs. Frederick E. Church, E. J. Donnell, R. G. Dun, John Alsop King, Percival Knauth, Mandeville Mower, George Richards and Mrs. E. Keep- Schley, “Life Members.” ENDOWMENT FuNpD.—It is a pleasure to report that the Endow- ment Fund has been increased by a gift of ten thousand dollars from Mrs. Josiah M. Fiske, to be invested and designated “ ‘lhe Josiah M. Fiske Fund.’ The income of this fund is to be used at the discretion of the Trustees. A contribution of one thousand dollars received from Mr, George A. Hearn has also been added to the Endowment Fund. The Permanent Invested Fund now amounts to $400,000, yielding a yearly income of $20,280. I feel it my duty again to refer to the great need of a much larger Invested Fund. With the growth of the Museum as a whole there are naturally increased demands from the various departments and our activities have increased beyond the means at our disposal. Each season’s work reveals greater opportuni- ties for an increase of our collections, and if our prestige 1s to be maintained we must take advantage of these opportunities. The Museum has become a valuable ally to the educational institutions, both of the City and State; indeed, teachers and pupils from neighboring States are often met in the Exhibition Halls, and the work of the Department of Public Instruction has been adopted by ten States and two foreign countries. This alone is ample justification for the course the Trustees have taken in the past, and the need of a substantial endowment to perpetuate the institution as an educational power is nothing short of impera- tive. ADDITIONS TO THE BuILDINGS.—The New Lecture Hall was completed early in the fall, and was dedicated on Wednesday afternoon, October 30. The new structure was formally transferred to the Trustees by the Honorable George C. Clausen, President of the Department of Parks, and accepted by your President on behalf of your 12 Report of the President. Board. A complete report of the opening exercises has been incorporated in this report. TRANSPORTATION.—The courteous aid extended in the past to our field parties has been continued by the following railroads: The Southern Pacific, the Wabash, and Missouri Pacific, the Union Pacific, the Canadian Pacific and trans-Pacific connections, the Chicago & Northwestern, and Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé, the Denver & Rio Grande, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and the Northern Pacific. ATTENDANCE.—The number of visitors during the year was 523,522, an increase of 65,071 above the record for 1899. The Museum was closed in the evening during the summer season for the purpose of making repairs to the electric lighting plant. Your attention was directed in the report of last year to the largely increased use of the Museum’s material by classes from public and private schools. ‘The record for the year shows that 5,302 teachers and scholars availed themselves of the privilege of studying the collections. Certain classes in the public schools of this city are now per- mitted by the Board of Education to visit the Museum during recitation hours to examine the collections in connection with their daily studies. Accrssions.—I invite your attention to the long list of acces- sions in the later pages of this report. Of special note is the gift of the Andrew Ellicott Douglas Collection of Prehistoric Indian Relics. Mr. Douglas has been engaged in forming this collection since 1887. He began with a single find of forty-five objects, and now his collection numbers twenty-three thousand specimens. The collection is complete in itself, and is of unique scientific value. Many of the specimens are of exquisite beauty, and the terms of gift provide for the preservation of its integrity as a collection. Mr. Fordham Morris has presented the Trustees with a large portrait of the late John J. Audubon, the naturalist, painted by his sons, John and Victor. This has been placed in the reading Report of the President. 13 room of the library with the pictures presented by the late Mr. C. P. Huntington, and by Mr. William C. Havemeyer and other friends of the Museum. EXPpEDITIONS.—The several Museum expeditions during the year have secured important knowledge in relation to past and present peoples. This will be mde known through the exhibition of specimens obtained, and by the series of papers and memoirs now in course of publication. Jesup North Pacific Expedition.—During the present year the party sent to the Amoor River in Siberia returned, bringing much information relating to the tribes inhabiting that area. Dr. Berthold Laufer, who was in charge of this work, collected infor- mation particularly among the Gold, Gilyak and Ainu, and his collections illustrate the life of these tribes. During the past year a party was also sent out to the Sea of Okhotsk to carry on investigations among the Chukchee and the Koryak. ‘This party is in charge of Mr. Waldemar Jochelson, who is to devote himself to a study of the Koryak and Yukagheer, while Mr. Waldemar Bogoras is to concentrate his attention particularly upon the Chukchee. Mr. Alexander Axelrod is to do anthropometric work among these tribes. Work was also carried on on Vancouver Island, where, during the past year, Dr. Boas continued his former researches among the Kwakiutl Indians. Mr. Livingston Farrand continued his work among the Quillayute on the west coast of the State of Washington, and Mr. James Teit was engaged in investi- gations among the Chilcotin Indians. Many specimens from these regions were secured for the Museuin. In August, Dr. John R. Swanton started for Queen Charlotte Islands, where he is to remain for a year, investigating the Haida. Mrs. Morris K. Jesup Expeditionn—Mr. A. L. Kroeber has remained in charge of this expedition, and has continued his work on the symbolism of the Arapaho Indians, spending the greater part of his time among the northern Arapho in Wyoming, from which place he has sent a very large collection of specimens to the Museum. 14 Report of the President. Huntington Expedition to California.—The work of collecting among the fast-vanishing tribes of California, which was insti- tuted by the late Mr. C. P. Huntington, was continued during the present year. Dr. Roland B. Dixon continued his work suc- cessfully among the Maidu Indians in the foothills of the Sierras east of Sacramento River, and he visited a number of other tribes for comparative study. There is much yet to be done among the California Indians, and it is hoped that this exploration may be continued. Villard Expedition to Oregon.—The conditions among the Indians of Oregon are such that the extinction of a number of tribes may be expected within a few years. ‘This fact induced the late Mr. Henry Villard to provide for an investigation of these tribes; and during the past summer Dr. L. Farrand made a thorough investigation of the Alsea, a tribe which is reduced to not more than about a dozen individuals. At the same time Dr. Farrand succeeded in making a valuable collection of specimens illustrat- ing the primitive life of several tribes of this region. Mexican Expedition—During the winter of 1899-tg00 Mr. Saville was engaged in the exploration of the ruins of Mitla and vicinity. He was very successful in the scientific results of the exploration, and discovered many important facts in relation to the architecture of the buildings composing this noted group. Several cruciform subterranean structures were found at Mitla, the walls of which were in several instances as elaborately orna- mented with mosaic work as are those of the great “palaces.” By the generous aid of the Duke of Loubat, Mr. Saville was able to return to Mitla in November last, where he is now engaged in exploration. The B. 7. B. Hyde and F. E. Hyde, Jr., Southwestern Expe- dition—In April last, Dr. A. Hrdlicka, accompanied by Mr. W. Orchard, an assistant in the department, carried on anthropo- metric and other ethnological research in New Mexico, Arizona and southern Colorado. He visited the pueblos of Moki, Zufi, Report of the President. ans Laguna, Acoma, Isleta, Jemes, San Domingo, San juan and Taos; and the Apache reservations at White River, San Carlos, Mesca- lero; also the Jicarillas and southern Utes. He was so successful as to obtain the measurements of over nine hundred Indians of the various tribes and groups visited; also many physical examina- tions, eighty facial moulds, and over five hundred negatives of the people and their occupations. He also secured the materials for several ethnic groups, and fifty skulls and skeletons with various objects found in ancient graves. It now remains to make similar researches on the more western tribes and those of portions of Mexico, in order to complete the plan of comparative study of the south and west. In connection with this work, the Messrs. Hyde have formed in the departmenta special reference library of works relating to the southwestern portion of America. They have bought a number of paintings by distinguished artists, and have had hundreds of photographs printed from the negatives taken by the several expeditions. They have also had several hundred lantern-slides made for use in lectures illustrating the particular subjects of their work. ‘This great interest on their part, and their generous contributions to the Museum, cannot be too highly commended. During the summer vacation the Curator was able to visit New Mexico in connection with the work of this expedition, and to make a comparative study of a large number of ruins on the mesas and in the cafions in relation to their contem- poraneity and their greater or less antiquity. In addition to the results obtained by their expeditions, the Messrs. Hyde have been able to purchase several important collections, made several years ago at the cliff houses and from caves, which are of great value for comparative study, and could not now be obtained from these sites. South American Expedition.—The most important receipts from Mr. Bandelier’s researches during the year are from his explora- tions of ancient tombs in the vicinity of Lake Titicaca. Included in this lot are many trephined skulls, also various specimens of pottery and other objects from tombs and village sites. Our col- lection, showing the different forms of trephining by the prehistoric peoples of Peru and Bolivia, is made one of great importance by 16 Report of the President. these large additions. ‘This collection is now exhibited in a case on the Western Gallery. Explorations in New Jersey..—Through the generous and con- tinued patronage of Dr. F. E. Hyde, the important work in the glacial gravel and other deposits in the Delaware Valley, and the exploration of old village sites and burial-places, have been continued by Mr. Ernest Volk. A number of specimens of the handiwork of man have been found by Mr. Volk under such con- ditions as to show their great antiquity and their contemporaneity with the formation of certain of these deposits. The evidence thus secured during these many years of conscientious research “has made it impossible for any one familiar with the facts to doubt that man was living at the time of the deposit of these formations Mr. Volk has also secured remains of several ) in the valley.’ human skeletons, which were found at such great depth, and under such conditions, as to prove their very considerable an- tiquity. He has also obtained a large number of objects relating to the early. Indian occupation of the valley. Local Explorations —The small appropriation granted for the exploration of the shell-heaps, Indian village sites, and burial- places in the limits of the city or in its immediate vicinity, sufficed to keep Mr. Harrington in the field during the summer. He was fortunate in discovering an ancient village site on Long Island, which was thoroughly examined, from which he collected pottery, stone implements, and other objects, as well as several skeletons. Afterward he explored several interesting rock shelters north of this city. ‘There are other similar shelters which should be ex- plored before the close of the coming summer. ‘Through these local explorations Mr. Harrington has interested several parties who have given a number of specimens to the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.— During the last six years the Department of Anthropology has made such remarkable progress that one is tempted to dwell upon the results attained, and to prophesy for its future; but I must confine myself to brief extracts from the report of Professor Putnam in relation to its Report of the President. 17 development during the past year, with the conviction that in time the department will present as perfect a history of the life of man as it is possible to secure. To bring this about, however, we must not feel that because we have obtained so much, our efforts should be diminished in the slightest degree. On the contrary, what has been accomplished should be our incentive to still greater work, that in the end there shall be no regret over lost opportunities. Realizing our responsibilities in relation to future generations, we can but acknowledge our present duty of securing the means for unremitting labors by interesting as many persons as possible in this great educational work, and thereby securing foundations and special funds for its accomplishment. Many enlightened and lib- eral patrons have helped in the past, and are helping now, while some have been called from their labors. It is to be hoped that these examples will be followed by others, until, with many patrons providing the means for research and for gathering the treasures to be displayed in the palatial structure to be extended by the City, this Museum shall increase from year to year, and in every way shall be the great centre—in the metropolis of America—for the promulgation of knowledge to the people. To remain stationary in our work, and to limit our objects, would be to lose all hope for the future of the department. The life of man has many phases, and these must be traced in all parts of the earth. To understand his appearance and his life on this continent, we must have the means of comparative study of the facts offered by other lands. It is therefore essential that while still greater efforts should be made for research in America, in order to obtain every possible fact relating to pre-Columbian times and to our so-called native peoples, we are also bound to make special exertions for the accumulation of data relating to every other land. The new collections arriving during the year were catalogued, poisoned, and put on exhibition or stored to await the completion of the halls assigned to the department. A new system of keeping the records of the department has been introduced, and the correspondence and information relat- ing to each collection have been brought together and filed. The system consists in giving each collection an accession number and 18 Report of the President. entering in the inventories the accession number of each specimen. All information relating to the accession is placed in a numbered envelope, so that it is possible, whenever desired, to find the whole correspondence relating to a given specimen or collection. A card catalogue is kept of all the accessions. As a provision of safety, the envelopes containing these im- portant records are placed in a document room, where they may be subject to the call of the department. In connection with this matter, the curator also suggests that a copy should be made of all inventories of the department for filing in the document room in another part of the building, in order to guard against the loss of these records by accident to the inventories in daily use in the department. Besides the inventories, the department is begin- ning a card catalogue of specimens. Instructions were given to assistants in the department to prepare cards for every addition in their sections as received during this year, and to continue the work on past accessions whenever practicable. For this great work, additional assistants are required in order to bring it to the desired speedy conclusion. Nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-six entries of specimens received have been made in the catalogues during the year, and 3,219 negatives and lantern-slides have been catalogued. The work of installation of the Ethnological Section, which is under the special charge of Dr. Boas, was carried on in the North Hall on the first floor, which, according to the plans of the depart- ment, is to contain only the collections from the North Pacific coast of America. ‘The remainder of the Emmons Collection has been placed on exhibition, and the collections of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition are now exhibited in this hall. A descriptive pamphlet showing the arrangement of the hall, and giving much valuable information, was prepared by Dr. Boas, and has been distributed to visitors specially interested. In the western vesti- bule there has been placed a number of large totem-poles, grave- posts, and house-posts, and several casts of rock inscriptions belonging to the collection in the adjoining North Hall, where there is not room for their exhibit owing to their size. In this vestibule, also, the Omaha skin tent presented by Dr. F. E. Hyde has been pitched. Report of the President. 19 The installation of the collections in the West Hall on the first floor was completed so as to open it to the public on November 1. This hall is to be devoted to the American Indian and Eskimo. As all the halls assigned to the ethnological exhibits will be crowded to their utmost capacity during the coming year, there will not be sufficient room for the exhibition of the collections now on hand, and which are rapidiy increasing through the Museum expeditions. The large collection from various countries received from the Ecumenical Conference; and known as the Missionary Collection, has been temporarily arranged and exhibited in the eastern hall of the East Wing, which is assigned to the Zodlogical Department. It makes.an interesting and instructive exhibit from several countries, and forms nuclei about which will grow important exhibits from distant lands. Mr. Saville has had special charge of the archeological collec- tions from Mexico and Central America. During the winter of 1899-1900 he was engaged in an exploration about the ruins of Mitla, working under the special concession of the Mexican Goy- ernment to this Museum. The Mexican Hall was closed for a time while being re-arranged, but was re-opened to the public on November 1, when a brief sketch of the contents of the hall was printed for distribution to visitors. The important Stahl collection from Puerto Rico—a personal gift from the President of the Museum—is placed tem- porarily in this hall. The Western Gallery on the third floor, containing the collec- tions from South America, was opened to the public on Novem- beren- The delay in the completion of the cases in the West Hall on the second floor, which will contain the archeological exhibits from the cliff houses and pueblos, and also the ethnological material from, the present pueblos of the Southwest, as well as certain other North American archeological collections, has pre- vented the installation of the large and important collection received from the Messrs. Hyde. 20 Report of the President. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND ASSOCIATED DEPARTMENTS.— The past year has been one of very little growth in the collections of the Department of Geology, etc., except in the section of miner- alogy. Two gifts to the geological section, however, are worthy of mention here; that from the Smithsonian Institution of a series of specimens of Pre-Cambrian slates containing fragments of a crustacean much more ancient than any organism discovered pre- viously ; and that from H. Linden, secretary of the Zodlogical Station at Naples, Italy, of an entire volcanic bomb of large size from the summit of the volcano of Gran’ Cratere on the island of Vulcano, near Sicily. Eight specimens of the trilobite, 77zarthrus becki, which are remarkable for the preservation of the legs and antennae, were added by purchase. Tbe Curator of the department wrote and placed in position about one thousand exhibition labels for specimens in the James Hall collection, which nearly completes the labeling of | that collection. The work on the Catalogue of Types and Figured Specimens in the coliections of the department has advanced rapidly. Part III, comprising pages 190-356 of the Catalogue and including the Devonian forms, was issued in October. The preliminary cards for the most of the remainder of the collection have been pre- pared and the completion of this important work during the coming year is assured. The collection of recent invertebrates has received no additions of importance during the year. The mineral collection has been increased by a number of gifts, the specimens added representing, in some part, obscure species, and also very beautiful examples of more common groups. The Department is again called upon in these additions to recognize the generosity of Miss M. W. Bruce. At the close of the year a changed aspect was given to the whole future of the Mineral Cabinet by the prospect of our acquir- ing the Bement Collection of Minerals. The Gem Collection has received some valuable single additions, embracing Quartz, Agate, Garnet, and Gold specimens, but its character and extent have been, simultaneously with the mineral cabinet, greatly changed through the generosity of Mr. Morgan, Report of the President. 21 in its acquirement of the gem material exhibited by Tiffany & Co. at the Paris Exposition of 1900. The installation of these new gems and the incorporation with them of the specimens of the former collection will proceed in the new Gem Room, and may be expected to be completed during the coming year. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—The Department of Vertebrate Zodlogy has received 728 mammals, 1,048 birds, and about 25 reptiles and fishes. The most important additions have been obtained by purchase, and include various small collections from Alaska, Mexico, Peru,and Venezuela. The South American collections, though small, have added a considerable number of species not previously represented in the Museum, several of which proved new to science. An especially important addition consists of a number of fine specimens of Moose, Bear and Caribou from the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. -A number of valuable speci- mens have been received in the flesh from the New York Zodlogi- cal Park and from the Central Park Menagerie. The Museum is indebted to Mr. W. H. Phelps for a specially noteworthy gift of 300 Venezuelan birds, many of them new to the collection, and embracing the type specimens of several species. About thirty mammals, forty-six birds, four reptiles and five fishes have been mounted and added to the Exhibition Collection ; also thirteen mounted skeletons of mammals, including three Gorilla skeletons (male, female, and young), an Orang, Gibbon, Potto, and Ornithorhynchus. Four mammal groups have been added to the series designed to illustrate the fauna of the imme- diate vicinity of New York City, and others are well advanced in preparation. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALZONTOLOGY.— This Depart- ment will celebrate the decennial of its establishment by the Trustees in May, 1901, as its organization was completed just ten years ago. Inthe Curator’s report to the President a brief review of the history of the Department is made, including an outline of various expeditions after fossil mammals and reptiles in the 22 Report of the President. Rocky Mountains and an account of the very important acquisi- tions which have been made by purchase and exchange. ‘There are altogether in the collection 8,534 specimens of fossil mammals, varying from a single tooth to complete skeletons. Six hundred and forty-eight specimens of fossil reptiles have been collected, and this number will be increased by 3,245 specimens in the second Cope collection. The exhibition has been enriched by many exchanges. Four hundred and thirty-eight specimens, and one hundred and fifteen casts have been sent out in exchange, chiefly to Museums in Europe. The total number of specimens in the department is now estimated at 12,708. The department has thus advanced a long way towards its original purpose of giving a complete history of the vertebrate life on the North American continent, but there are some important gaps to be filled, especially among the fishes. During the past year valuable exchanges have been received, especially from Stuttgart, and additional exchange collections are expected in the near future. Four separate expeditions were sent into the field; the largest force returned to the famous ‘“‘ Bone Cabin” quarry in Wyoming and secured roo specimens, including parts of skulls, limbs and separate bones of Dinosaurs not hitherto represented in the col- lection. Late in the season, with the codperation of Mr. G. R. Wieland of Yale University, through the courtesy of Professor Beecher, an extensive survey was made in the Black Hills region, which resulted in the securing of parts of two more Dinosaurs. Mr. Barnum Brown returned from Patagonia with twenty-four boxes of the ancient fossil mammals of South America, which are now being worked up for immediate exhibition. In July he was sent by the Curator into the Laramie beds of Wyoming and returned in January with a complete skeleton of a duck-bill Dino- saur, and an incomplete skeleton of a carnivorous Dinosaur ; these will make beautiful exhibition specimens. The fourth expedition, under Mr. Gidley, revisited the fossil mammal beds of Texas and secured a fine skull and jaws of a new type of elephant, portions of the skeletons of fossil horses and limbs of extinct camels. Report of the President. 23 A special photographic dark room has been fitted up for the Department, and, at the expense of the Curator, a very beautiful series of photographs have been taken by Mr. Anderson of some of the finer specimens in the collection ; also of some of Knight’s restorations of the extinct vertebrates. It is proposed to publish these restorations, together with the photographs of the complete ‘mounted skeletons upon which they are based. The work of cataloguing has proceeded steadily, Dr. Matthew taking charge of the mammals. Dr. Hay has taken charge of the reptiles, but has given some time to the mammals. All of our collections except the Patagonian collection and the second Cope collection are now catalogued. In the work of cataloguing the Dinosaurs, Mr. Granger and Mr. Thompson have rendered valu- able assistance. Professor Osborn went abroad partly in the interests of the Department and represented the Museum at the Geological Con- gress in Paris. Dr. Matthew was given a leave of absence for quite an extensive tour of the foreign museums, during which he made many valuable notes and observations. After a number of experiments a permanent method of mount- ing the small specimens in attractive form with the use of fixed color cards has been adopted. Dr. Matthew and Mr. Thompson have made considerable progress in this work. DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.—Duting the past year con- siderable progress has been made in the arrangement of the study collection of Coleoptera, and a large number of specimens have also been placed on exhibition. One hundred enlarged drawings of minute beetles have been made, and are ready for exhibition cases. The Very Rev. E. A. Hoffman has generously donated 1,000 specimens of butterflies from North and South America and Asia. These will be placed on exhibition as soon as the cases can be provided. The entire collection of butterflies presented by Dr. Hoffman now aggregates over 5,000 specimens. About 800 specimens of local Hymenoptera have been placed on exhibition. 24 Report of the President. From July ro to August 10 the Curator spent his time in the Black Mountains in western North Carolina for the purpose of of collecting material. Over 3,000 specimens were obtained, all of which have been mounted. The results of the expedition are such as to warrant the continuation of the researches. Field work in the vicinity of New York has resulted in the addition of many rare species to our local collection. A monograph of the Sesiidg, a work containing about 150 pages, with eight colored plates, has been prepared for the Memoirs. LiprAry.—The report of the Librarian reveals an increase of 9,157 volumes, making a total of 52,689 volumes. The most notable addition to the Library is the gift of General Egbert L. Viele, U.S. A., of 1,136 volumes, g60 Nos., 1,833 pamphlets and 66 maps. Many of these works enable the Librarian to complete unfilled series which were very difficult to obtain. The Museum is also indebted to the Honorable Amos E. Cum- mings and the Honorable William Astor Chanler for contribu- tions of government publications required to complete missing numbers. The Duke of Loubat has also donated a number of very valu- able and rare works pertaining to anthropology. DEPARTMENT OF Pus.ic INsTRuUCTION.—Prof. Albert S. Bick- more has delivered the regular courses of lectures under the terms of the contract with the State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, and has given two courses of four lectures each to the mem- bers of the Museum by request of the Trustees. The free lectures delivered on Tuesday evenings under the auspices of the Board of Education have been attended by large and appreciative audiences. Several courses of lectures have been delivered under the auspices of Columbia University on Saturday evenings. In compliance with the request of the President, Mr. Frank M. Chapman, Assistant Curator of the Department of Vertebrate Zoélogy, gave a series of six lectures to the members of the Museum and the Audubon Society. Report of the President. 25 The lectures were given at the Museum on Saturday afternoons and were illustrated with stereopticon views. LECTURES TO THE TEACHERS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Pror. ALBERT S.

I extend an expression of my sincere thanks to the Trustees for their assistance in administering the affairs of the Museum and to those persons who have aided the Museum by gifts of money or specimens. I also desire to express on behalf of my colleagues and myself our appreciation of the able and loyal service rendered by the heads of departments and their assistants in the various activities of the Museum. MORRIS K. JESUP, President. ADDENDA.—Since the preparation of this report the Trustees have formally received from Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, on behalf of the Museum, the Bement Collection of Minerals and the Tiffany Collection of Gems, the largest indi- vidual gift the Museum has ever received.

Opening Address of Morris K. Jesup, President of the Museum. ‘““ MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL Hisrory, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I am commissioned by the Board of Trustees to give you a hearty welcome to this new Auditorium, which has just been completed. It is intended that these exercises shall be brief, in order that you may have an opportunity to visit the adjoining halls of exhibition “Before the Trustees can act with reference to this important addition to the Museum Building, it becomes necessary that a formal presentation be made to the Museum authorities by the proper municipal authorities, and therefore, without further cere- mony, I introduce the Hon. George C. Clausen, President of the Department of Parks of the City of New York, and Commissioner of the Boroughs of Manhattan and Richmond.” Address of the Honorable GrEorRGE C. CLAUSEN, President of the Department of Parks, presenting the building on behalf of the City to the Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History : Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen ; In a little more than thirty years the Museum of Natural History, in the City of New York, has grown from a very meagre and poorly housed nucleus to the grand and inspiring proportions which you now look upon—proportions of such majesty and beauty as to excite the admiration not only of scientists and art lovers everywhere, but also of all men of taste and refinement. The history of the institution is in many ways unique and in every way interesting. It was in the year 1869 that a little band of public-spirited men, headed by John David Wolfe, Robert Colgate, Benjamin H. Field, Robert L. Stuart, Adrian Iselin, Benjamin B. Sherman, Wm. A. Haines, Theodore Roosevelt, Howard Potter, Wm. T. Blodgett, Morris K. Jesup, D. Jackson Steward, J. Pierpont Morgan, A. G. P. Dodge, Charles A. Dana, Joseph H. Choate and 38 A ddress— George C. Clausen. Henry Parish, was created by the Legislature a body corporate to be known as the American Museum of Natural History, and to be located in the City of New York, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a museum and library, to encourage and develop the study of natural science, to advance the general knowledge of kindred subjects and to furnish popular instruction in them. At this time the exhibits of the Museum were tolerated ina few cramped and unsightly rooms of the old Arsenal on the Fifth Avenue side of the Park. To-day many of the exhibits of the institution are known to men of scientific research in every civilized country, and it is nowhere disputed that the Museum buildings themselves are admirably fitted for the display of the priceless treasures which they contain. These results have been brought about by a singularly original combination of partnership, which, under sanction of the law, has been entered into by the citizens of New York in their corporate capacity and the President and Trustees of the Museum. Under this exceedingly felicitous arrangement, it is mutually agreed that the City shall pay for the erection of the buildings and for their maintenance, while the Trustees have taken upon themselves the responsibility of providing the exhibits, the library, the lectures and other means of instruction and mental recreation. This arrangement is perpetual, irrevocably binding upon both parties. It is expressly stipulated that the contract shall continue for all time. By it Manhattan Square is given over to the uses of the Museum. It is provided that suitable buildings shall be erected thereon at the cost of the City; that they shall be properly maintained and policed by the City ; that the exhibits shall be supplied by the Association ; and that the Museum, in its entirety, shall be under the sole control and management of the Trustees for the free use and benefit of all the people. Both parties to this agreement have faithfully lived up.to the compact, which happily both have regarded as sacred. The Trustees, on the one hand, headed by their wise and far-seeing, high-minded and open-handed President, Morris K. Jesup, have made the people of the Western Metropolis in very truth ‘‘ the heirs of all the ages” by spreading before them in most attractive form evidences of the development and progress of the earth and of man from the earliest time until the present day. The City, on its part, has kept faith by providing with lavish hand the money with which to erect and maintain these magnificent halls. The first building cost $700,000. Under the laws of 1877 an addition was provided for at a cost of $800,000. Later on the east wing was completed at a cost of $550,000, while under the laws of 1895 and 1896 two other additions were made, the one costing $510,000 and the other $500,co0. In 1897 an additional half million was provided for the completion and equipment of these wings. The cost of all the buildings and their equipment, from first to last, has been in round numbers $3,500,000, while the sum expended for maintenance up to the present day has been $972,000. And, sir, as the representative here of the City Government, I think that I may fittingly congratulate the present administration, the administrations which have gone before it, the Trustees of the Museum, and all the people, upon the fact that in all these vast expenditures there has never been even a suspicion of party self-seeking or the slightest hint of the diversion of one dollar for a political or unworthy purpose! To the credit of the City it can be proudly said that all its representatives, during the thirty years of its contract with the Trustees, have with scrupulous fidelity lived up to its part of the bargain for common good. The City has cheerfully and liberally provided the buildings, policed and maintained them, but never in the slightest degree has it attempted to interfere with the management of the Museum. Such management, the control of the exhibits, of the library, of the lectures, and of everything pertaining to them, has most properly been left entirely within the contro] of the very competent gentlemen who have been trained for such service. Itis only by holding firmly Address—Morris K. Jesup. 39 to this policy that our noble institution has progressed so marvelously in the past, and will continue to progress in the future. In this spirit, Mr. Jesup, holding steadily to the views which I have expressed, and in obedience to the law, it is now my duty and very great pleasure to turn over to your competent custody, and the custody of your fellow Trustees, these new halls of the American Museum of Natural History. Adress by Morris K. Jesup, President, accepting the Building on Behalf of the Trustees. “PRESIDENT CLAUSEN: On behalf of the Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History, I receive this beautiful edifice and acknowledge the kindly views which you have expressed. These, sir, are fully reciprocated, not only by myself, but by the Trustees, whom I have the honor to represent. “You quite touched my heart, Mr. Clausen, when you spoke of the kindly interest that has always existed between the several departments of the City Government and this Museum. I want to say that during my twenty years administration as President there has not been one word of discord, or even of disagreement, between this institution and the city authorities. On the other hand, the kindliest sympathy and codperation have always existed. “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: There are three departments of this Museum,—the department of science, the department of exhi- bition, and the department of education. ‘The first of these— science—provides the material which makes the others possible. Science indicates the direction that our exploring expeditions shall take ; it determines what material shall be collected, and how this material may be exhibited to obtain profitable educational returrs. How profitless is mere exhibition without instruction ! “We are met together to-night to consecrate this magnificent hall to the cause of education, and you will soon be addressed by those who are competent to speak on this subject. “Tt would not be right for me to close my remarks without mentioning the architects who have planned, designed and con- structed this hall. I refer to Messrs. Cady, Berg & See. These~ gentlemen have had in charge the construction of this Museum almost from the beginning, and you yourselves are the best judges of the way in which they have performed their duties. “Mr. Clausen has made mention of what the city has given to this great enterprise, and it is proper, therefore, for me to mention what Trustees and friends have given. While it is impossible to make an accurate statement, I think I am justified in saying that the contributions of money and the cash value of the collections aggregate upwards of $3,000,000. While Mr. Clausen has called attention to the generous amount contributed by the city toward the maintenance of this institution since its opening, namely, the ° 40 Address— bird S. Coler. sum of $900,000, you should know that even this large sum has not been sufficient to pay our running expenses. Nearly every year the Trustees have willingly, yes, cheerfully, contributed from $15,000 to $30,000 to make up an inevitable deficiency. “T might continue and say many things about this Museum,—its past, its present and its future,—but | will not take up time. “T will now ask the Hon. Bird S. Coler, the comptroller in- charge of the finance department of the City, to say a few words.” Address by the Hon. Birp S. CoLEer, Comptroller of the City of New York: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : It is a great pleasure and honor for me to be here this afternoon and to say a little “something to you about the City of New York, and something maybe, about an idea, or a scheme of education. The present City of New York is the result of the consolidation of ninety separate corporations. I will not worry you with the details of that consolidation, or with a few of our troubles up to the present time ; but, merely to show you the magnitude of our city in a comparative sense, I would say that we have a population of over 3,500,000; that the bonded debt of the City of New York is more than the bonded debt of all the States in the Union combined ; that half of that debt is self-sustaining through the earnings of our water department and our docks. Looking at our expenses, the combined expense of the City of New York, of bond and appropriation accounts, is more than five times that of the State of New York itself, is two-thirds of that of the States of the Union, and is one- seventh of that of the National Government itself. For educational purposes we are now expending in the neighborhood of $20,000,000 a year; that is, the cost of education for the greater city is more, by several millions of dollars, than the entire cost of running the old city of Brooklyn—a city of over a million people—in all its branches and for all purposes. So you can see the immense sum that is required for purely educational purposes. . It is nineteen per cent. of your entire budget. Now, it seems to me that the time has come when we have got to face the enormous increase in expenditures for educationai purposes in an intelligent and fair and practical way. Maybe there is a legitimate reason why we should give every child in the City of New York a college education. Maybe some one may argue that it would be the best thing for the city to force every one to take a higher education. In the last few years that seems to have been brought to the front—the idea that the higher development must come through a system of schools that would lead up to every one getting a higher education. I think the idea is right to a large degree, but we must face it in a way that will not increase the cost to such an extent that it will make taxation in this city a tremendous burden. We have, as I have said, $20,000,000 a year, or in that neighborhood ; that is, the bond appropriations and the appropriations for the schools themselves ; and it seems to me that we can work together upon an idea that will bring forth all there is in education, and upon a basis with which every one can be satisfied, both those who believe in higher education and those who believe in not expending quite so much money for the various purposes. I believe it is a fact that nearly ninety per cent. of our children leave our schools before the age of fifteen years. A great many parents cannot afford to allow their children to remain in the schools beyond that time. It seems to me that we should have a definite system of education that, up to that age, would be practically complete as far as it went, but then, instead of allowing every one to force their children to go higher at the cost and expense of the city (because, as a general rule, those who can afford to leave their children in schools after Address—Bird §. Coler. 4I the age of fifteen can afford to pay something towards their maintenance), we should still have our high schools and our colleges, but we should allow only those to go up who show by their ability and their genius that it would pay the city to give them the higher education. To-day our high schools and our College of the City of New York are crowded with children, the only purpose of whose parents is to keep them at education and to keep them from going into business until they get older,— children who have shown no particular ability for a higher education. I do not believe that they are entitled to it at the expense of the city ; nevertheless I do believe that it is a paying investment for the city to have high schools and the College of the City of New York, and, if needs be, to purchase scholarships in the other great colleges ; so that when a boy leaves the grammar school he can earn the right to enter the high school by a fair examination. This ought not to be made so hard that it would preclude boys who were serious and had an honest intent and wanted to educate themselves. The examination ought to be so graded that these boys would have the chance to work their way up to and through a college, even at the expense of the city. Then, when a boy or a young woman came out of one of those schools, they would be known as a man or a woman who had earned their education at the hands of the City of New York. But what is to be done with the great mass, the ninety per cent. that have to leave at the age of fifteen? I believe the city owes more to them by far than it owes to the children who are kept in there, not because they show any ability, but merely because their parents wish to keep them in school at the cost of the city. I believe that the great ninety per cent. are entitled to an opportunity to acquire for themselves an education while they are at work, and while they are helping to support their families. The greatest part of education (I know it is so in my own case, with the little education that I have) is acquired after leaving school ; and now, throughout the great City of New York, we are beginning to recognize the fact of supplemental education. To-day the Board of Estimate has before it a request for an appropriation of $3,000,000 to complete the great public library at Forty-second Street and Fifth Avenue. That will be granted ina few days. Throughout the Borough of Brooklyn, in the last two years, we have established five separate free circulating libraries. This year we have made an appropriation that will allow the development of double that number. All through the City of New York we are trying to develop a policy of supple- mental education. That brings the question down right here to your own great enterprise and the enterprise of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and it is a great pleasure for me to be here and to state to you that I believe that this Institution is one of the greatest starting points for a supplemental education in the City of New York. The development also throughout our city of the free lecture system, of which Professor Leipziger, who is here this afternoon, is the head, will do more good to our city than the system of allowing parents to force a higher education at the expense of the city. Let us give the great ninety per cent. a chance to get ahead and make something of themselves in the world. As regards the appropriations for your Institution, I think this year you will get over $130,000 for maintenance. I do not know how far that will go, but I think it will go a great deal farther than the last year’s money went. We are facing in the City of New York a great problem. ‘The problem, to my mind, of the government of the United States itself, is the problem of city life and city government ; and it is only by the development of the individual citizen, so that he has a better knowledge, a better education, and a _ better interest in public affairs, that we shall ever have a better permanent government ; and I believe it is the duty of every intelligent person, man or woman, to do something for the great mass of our children that have to leave the schools before the age of fifteen. I thank you for your attention. 42 Address—Henry M. Leipsiger. Remarks by President Jesup, introducing Dr. H. M. Leipziger, PhD., Supervisor of Lectures of the Board of Education. ‘““T expected to have the pleasure of welcoming here to-night Mr. Miles M. O’Brien, President of the Board of Education, but I received this telegram from him a few minutes ago: ‘“*T regret exceedingly that unavoidable circumstances prevent me from tendering you in person my hearty congratulations on the opening of the new lecture hall, which adds a new and important link to the educational chain of our great city, and of which all our citizens may be proud.’ “Fortunately we have another representative of the Board of Education, Prof. H. M. Leipziger, whom I have the pleasure of introducing.” Address by Dr. Henry M. Lerpzicer, Ph.D., Supervisor of Lectures of the Board of Education : Myr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : Twenty-five years ago, in the address made by Prof. Henry on the occa- sion of the laying of the corner stone of this noble Institution, which is gradually assuming its proper dimensions, he called attention to the spiritual side of the Museum, and in his address used these words: ‘‘ How incomparably greater would the importance of this Museum be were there connected with it a pro- fessor, who, at stated periods of the year, would give courses of free lectures on the objects which it contains, who would expound the laws of the phenomena of nature, who would discourse on the changes the world has undergone during geological periods. What an effect an Agassiz would have, not only in enlightening the heads, but warming the hearts, of his audience !” Less than a generation has passed since these words of the distinguished scientist were spoken, and his hope is nobly realized in this beautiful hall dedicated to the spread of the knowledge of science for the service of man. This vast Museum and this lecture hall bear testimony to the belief of the American people, not alone in the value, but in the necessity of education, and their belief that the term should have the widest possible interpretation, that it should begin at the kindergarten, and include the university, the public library and the public museum, and it should know no limit as to age or sex. In the spirit of this belief, both private philanthropy and public munificence have joined in producing the transformation scene which we witness to-day, and which is but an earnest of what is yet to be. In President Jesup’s address of eight years ago he stated that this Museum offers to the “‘masses of the Empire City a home where they may find. that recreation, entertainment and education which serves to elevate and ennoble their life and character.’” That it has fulfilled—and will fulfil in increasing measure—these purposes, no one can doubt who has observed the thousands who enter these halls, or the crowds who, during the past eight years, have attended the lectures that have been given. The influence of the Museum and the lectures in widening the mental horizon of the listener, who can measure ! Some, perhaps, are soothed and recreated, others are inspired and stimulated to reading and study. ‘“That stick has been round the world,” exclaimed a man to Sydney Smith, as he held out to him a valued cane. ‘‘ Dear me,” was the reply, ‘‘and yet it is only a stick after all.’’ To decrease the number of sticks in the world, to increase the number of men who can observe, can compare, classify and ¢hzzk, is the purpose of the teaching of science. To increase the number of those in a great city who shall take a delight in nature and its wonders, who shall find Address—Henry M. Leipsiger. 43 wholesome recreation therein, and thus find an antidote against life’s sorrows and a strengthener against temptation, all this is furthered by the spread of scientific knowledge. And the collections, amply classified as they may be, fail, unless from the lips of the living teacher comes the flow of eloquence that vivifies the dead objects and makes the distant near. Do not the facts in this Museum’s history amply prove that the lecture, as a medium of instruction, was never more appreciated? For years past have the lectures by Prof. Bickmore attracted the teachers of our city, the lectures in codperation with Columbia University have attracted the student, and those given by the Board of Education have attracted the masses. For five years past, through the generosity of the Trustees of this Institution, on each T uesday evening this hall has been one of the forty or more lecture halls where courses of lectures under the auspices of the Board of Education have been given. he total attendance at the Hall of the Museum has been over twenty thousand each year. Rarely has there been a vacant chair, and often was the hall filled long before the time fixed for the beginning of the lecture. The topics of the lectures included travel and natural science, and, as at all our centres, the discovery was made that instruction was much preferred to entertainment. Who can rightly determine the influence of a museum and courses of lectures such as given here. From a quarryman, Hugh Miller became a geologist, and while attending a course of four lectures by Sir Humphrey Davy, the immortal Faraday caught the inspiration which determined his career. But in a broader sense these lectures contribute to the culture i our citizens, and nowhere is that culture more needed than in a democracy and in a city so cosmopolitan as our own. As a means of true refinement nothing is so potent as a love of nature. The story is told that a few years ago a French priest, far advanced in years, was met in the heart of the Rockies. Upon being asked why he, at his time of life, was so far from home unattended, he replied: ‘‘ Six months ago I lay, as I thought, at death’s door. One night I dreamt that I appeared before my Maker and he said tome: ‘My child, how did you like the beautiful world I gave you to dwell in?’ I could make no reply, for I, who had for fifty years preached a better world, had never examined this one at all! Awaking from my dream, I vowed that 1 would at once proceed to see and to admire some of his works, and so here I am, going round the world.” To the thousand of toilers in this city what an opportunity is afforded by the lectures to the people to get glimpses of the great world. How, by means of the picture thrown on the screen, are the words of the lecturer clarified and intensified. The eye and the ear are both appealed to, and the knowledge thus gotten remains. Great as is the educational value of these lectures, they are justified from the recreative side. The character of our pleasure is an index of our culture and our civilization. A nation whose favorite pastime is the bull-fight is hardly on a plane with one that finds pleasure in the lyceum hall. So if we can make the pleasure of our people consist in the delights of art, in the beauties of literature, and in the pursuit of science, and gradually turn them away from so much that is lowering, are we not doing a real public service? Is not refine- ment, too, one of the ends for which we are aiming—not alone knowledge, but culture ; not alone light, but sweetness ; and if we can turn our youth from the street corner to the temple of nature, are we not helping to that end? The course of lectures given in codperation with the Board of Education affords proof of the union of forces for good that is constantly strengthening, and of all agencies that should be so united, those engaged in education should form the closest bond. The schools of the city, the museums of the city and the libraries of the city should be closely connected. The auditor at the lectures or the observer of the collections should find on the shelves of the public library the book that will give the history of the specimen or increase his knowledge of 44 Address—Charles R. Skinner. the subject of the lecture. Signs are not wanting that this union is becoming constantly closer. The widening of opportunity as a result of this union is in line with the policy of the Board of Education under its present energetic President, Mr. Miles M. O’Brien. The schools of our city were never before put to such varied uses. Evening schools, lecture halls, play schools, reading rooms and libraries are now found in our school buildings, all having as their purpose the bringing of the truths of science and the lessons of history within the reach of the common man. And this beautiful lecture hall, amply lighted and properly ventilated, the just pride of our city, serves another purpose. By contrast, it calls attention to the inadequate accommodations provided in many other places where lectures are held, and will speed the day when all the school lecture halls of the city will be properly equipped. Finally, the uses of the lecture hall emphasize the fact that education is ‘“not a thing for youth only, nor is it a thing for the favored classes only, but it belongs to all and to all periods of life.” In this hall, rich and poor alike are welcome to learn the great lessons that nature teaches and to get from a knowledge of science the key to real happiness. Of the seventy-five millions who dwell in our land, but a limited number have been systematically educated. To give the masses hope and knowledge, to teach the truth that ‘‘nothing is too late till the tired heart shall cease to palpitate,” to give larger visions and lofty ideals, to put men and women in touch with noble souls, to bring beauty into the humblest home—all this is the result that will be accomplished through museums and lectures. And may this good work go on till all our people shall possess the truth that shall make them free. Remarks by President Jesup, introducing the Hon. Charles R. Skinner, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. ‘By a very happy arrangement with the State Department of Public Instruction, the course of lectures which has been so felicitously given by Professor Bickmore has been under the con- trol of the Department of Education at Albany, and I am very happy that we have with us this afternoon the Hon. Charles R. Skinner, Superintendent of the State Department of Public Instruction, and I have great pleasure in introducing him to you.” Address of the Hon. CHARLES R. SKINNER, State Super- intendent of Public Instruction : Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen Let me congratulate you, Mr. President, upon the completion of this monument to free education in our great metropolis. It attests the generosity of the City of New York and is a testimonial to your excellent administration, aided as you have been by other generous friends of education. The growth of educational interests during the past few years is one of the wonders of this receding century, and gives us hope for the century to come. I shall speak particularly in reference to the relations which for sixteen years the State Department of Public Instruction has sustained to the educa- tional department of this Institution. ‘These relations have been exceedingly close and pleasant, and I believe profitable to many thousands of the masses of the people of the State. In 1884 the first act was passed which placed the Department of Visual Instruction here under the State Department of Public Instruction. This Address—Charles R. Skinner. 45 provided for a free course of lectures to the teachers of the City of New York, and extended that system to the then nine normal schools situated in different portions of the State. It was a modest beginning, but any one interested in educational progress cculd foresee the great development that was bound to come—that will always come when you strike the heart of the people with an educational force. In 1891 this system was extended to the teachers’ institutes of the State. A teachers’ institute is a gathering of teachers in each of the counties of the State. This enables the system to reach annually more than 20,000 teachers. ‘The country teachers (if you please) and their thousands of friends are brought in sympathy with this system of instruction. So it extended until 1895—four years afterward—when it was again broadened by an act of the Legislature, so that the lectures given and views exhibited here are now extended to all the cities and villages of the State, thus placing it within the power of the superintendent of schools in these cities and villages to reach nearly nine-tenths of the people of the State. You remember, years ago we heard something about ‘‘ object lessons.”’ It was a new departure in education. The evolution of education is almost a vevolution now. Here in this hall, and wherever these lectures are repeated (and they are, like the public school system, free to all mankind), the world is brought to our feet, and we see before us the different exhibitions which make us acquainted with every section of the world. In 1887 the then Superintendent of Public Instruction, referring to this system, said: ‘‘ The system is new, but undoubtedly it is destined to have an important part in future educational work.” In 1884, when the system first became connected with the State, the total State expenditures for education were $12,000,000. Last year the total expenditures were $28,000,000. So the expenditures of the State for schools and education have kept pace with the growth of this Institution. Surely we can all believe in ‘‘expansion”’ of education. Since the Museum became connected with the State Department, Doctor Bickmore has prepared two hundred (200) lectures, covering all phases of education,—travel, history, biography, science, etc.,—and these lectures have been repeated in every portion of the State. More than 20,000 different stere- opticon views have been prepared and exhibited. We are familiar with the growth of this system through inquiries which reach our State Department, and which daily reach Doctor Bickmore. Inquiries come from every county in the State, from smaller schools that are not entitied to these privileges, begging that they be extended to them. From every State in the Union come requests from State superintendents of public instruction for advice as to how they may secure the advantages which we enjoy. From every nation in the world come inquiries of the same nature. I have been shown a very interesting letter of inquiry from India, where the very purpose which this instruction serves here was presented as an educational influence upon the people of that country. Not long ago Doctor Bickmore took this system in all its phases to exhibit at Paris. I wish he could tell you the many expressions of approval and interest which that exhibition excited. It is safe to say, however, that his mission was successful. He brings home from Paris a gold medal for the educational system which has made this Museum famous. No wonder Doctor Bickmore is in favor of the “‘ gold standard.” Those who originated the scheme of this Museum are entitled to the commendation of every friend of education—of every man who believes that an educated child is better than an ignorant one. It is through this system, exemplified as it has been by what has been done for free lectures in this great city, that it is possible to carry this work all through the cities and villages of this great State. How to properly educate the masses of the people is the great educational problem before us all to-day, Mr. President, and the more we contribute to the education of the masses of the people, the more we can send education into the homes of our pupils, the more we shall contribute to their happiness and to the uplifting of city, state, country and the world. 46 Address—FTenry C. Potter. As an illustration of the extent to which this system may be pursued, let me quote the one city of Syracuse, where, under the rules and regulations, we gave them one stereopticon, a copy of every lecture, and aset of the stereopticon slides accompanying it. The Board of Education in that city has purchased eight stereopticons, and has spent more for views every year than the State gives. The lectures are free to all the people. In the city of Watertown the city hall, almost as large a room as this, has been placed at the disposal of the superintendent of schools for the very purpose of repeating the lectures which have been given and will be given here. Thus let us extend the power of this great system of education. Morally and intellectually it is an uplifting force in every community. In this way, by encouraging the broadening of the system by legislative enactment, let us keep at work, Mr. President, until all the people of the State are given the advantage of this medium of happiness and education. Let us, in other words, have a perpetual campaign of education. Remarks of President Jesup, introducing the Right Rev. Henry OS IRONS “ Before inviting you to the treat which Professor Bickmore has in store for you, when you will see the wonderful power of our new equipment for throwing lantern pictures upon these great screens, I will ask our valued friend, Bishop Potter, to say just a few words.” Address of the Right Reverend HENry C. PoTTer: Ladies and Gentlemen : There is an eminent propriety that somebody should say a few words who has no official connection with this undertaking. ‘Their President, Mr. Clausen, has represented the Park Commissioners ; Mr. Coler has represented the City of New York on its financial side; the President and Dr. Leipziger have represented this institution; and Mr. Skinner has represented the great educa- tional system which is one of the chief adornments of the Empire State; but I confess I think you would agree with me that this occasion would be incomplete unless somebody represented the beneficiaries ; and I claim to be one of those —that large constituency, including, in one way or another, the millions of people that make up the City of New York, who are to derive, and have derived, the many and various benefits from the existence of the Museum of Natural History, in connection with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, of which we have heard something this afternoon. I confess I followed with sympathy and admiration the line of remark in which Mr. Coler indulged in regard to the scheme of our popular education. I should like to go a step further and remind you of the fact, to which, I venture to say, every teacher in our public schools will bear witness, that a very large proportion of the boys and girls who are forced out of the public schools at the age of fifteen or thereabouts for the purpose of earning their own living, as well as the very considerable proportion of those who stay in the public schools, and discover for the next three or four years no particular aptitude in the direction of higher learning, discover it later in life. Now, have we sufficiently recognized the relation of such a fact as this to these Museums of Natural History and of Art? With that later life, when school days are done, come, far oftener, I think, than most of us realize, two things, late awakening powers and curiosities and leisure. What shall men and women who have done with school, but are hungry for knowledge, and conscious of idle hours and unemployed faculties, do with ees Pain. fe Address—Henry C. Potter. 47 them? Every new invention, every increased convenience, every clever substi- tute for the work of the hands, by the work of a machine or the product of a factory, gives multitudes of people more leisure hours, and with them, often I fear, idle monotony, but often also, I rejoice to believe, more disposition for other tasks and interests than the mere handicrafts of the shop or the household. Last evening I spent a night in Ulster County under the roof of a friend, to whom I ventured to call attention to the interesting fact of the large decay of the old-fashioned handicrafts of women. I gave a few days from my own experience as illustrating the kind of hospitality, always kindly and generous, that one whose office is a very peripatetic one on one side of it so constantly experiences, and I described, among other things, the hospitable board of a good lady at which I had sat a little while before, on which, from the beginning to the end of the feast, there was not one single thing to be eaten which she had mixed with her own cunning, or knowledge, or cleverness. I inquired about the pressed tongue, the Boston brown bread, and preserves, as they came on in succession, and I learned that one had come from a shop, in a tin, another in a can, and another in a glass jar. I said to this lady: ‘‘ Did it ever occur to you what is being lost out of our American life by the multiplication of inven- tions which are giving to us our food in prepared forms, and depriving the people who give it to us of the opportunity of preparing it for us?” ‘‘ Ah, yes,’ she said, ‘‘ but did it ever occur to you how much larger a leisure comes into the life of a woman who is thus released from the old tasks?” ‘‘ Ves,” I said, ‘‘I had thought of that. But what is she learning? What is she taught to do with her leisure?” My friend, Dr. Leipziger, has reminded us of the privilege of the com- panionship of nature. But ask the people who live most in the environment of nature in its directest sense, how much they know about it? How much have they been trained to observe of a stone, or of a flower, or of asky? And when they come into a realm of wider knowledge, how much has that higher culture, which it is the office of such an institution as this to give, been within their reach, or added to their knowledge? I was standing in the Alhambra some years ago, listening with a party of tourists, English, American and other, to the description which the guide was giving us of the splendid hall in which we stood. He undertook, among other things, to translate some of the legends, which are in Arabic, on the walls, and which some of you will remember there. I confess I thought them extremely tame and pointless to be honored with such a place; but I received an electric shock when, after our guide had traced with his hand a sentence which ran along the wall in Arabic, saying: ‘‘ That means ‘Truth is good, and happy is he who pursues it,’” I heard behind mea voice saying, ‘‘ That’s a thundering lie!” I looked around, and there was a man ina fustian jacket, who, I found out afterwards, was a Scotch engineer on his way to Constantinople to take charge of a factory. He had been educated largely in London, in the British Museum, and he had, in connection with the University of London, mastered enough Arabic to relieve the ignorance of all the rest of us, and to silence that guide, I hope, forever. Now, then, stop a moment and realize what came into the horizon of that man when he got into Constantinople, incomparably the most beautiful vision as you come up the Sea of Marmora, I think in the world. Imagine him going about and being able to take layer after layer off of that old life and bring it into inspiring contact with his own educated intelligence ; and reflect, ladies and gentlemen, that that is what this institution has brought within the possibility, not only of you and of me, but of the humblest artisan, mechanic, day laborer in this city ! If once the love of knowledge is kindled in him, he has within the worlds of these museums possibilities for enlarging the horizon of his knowledge which are not within the reach, so far as his own resources are concerned, of the wealthiest man on this continent. 48 Address—Henry C. Potter. In the days when we are emphasizing fallacies which undertake to persuade us of the alienation of class from class, nothing, I maintain, is sublimer in its highest aspect than the great educational function of such an institution as this, and the inspiring fact that, whatever has been done by public munificence, side by side, as we have heard here this afternoon, private munificence has arisen with it; that the gifts of the city have been, year after year, matched by the gifts of the individual; and, better still,—though it has not been spoken of here,—that all this is owing most of all, not to money, but to heart and brain. Whatever my friend, the President, has given out of his pocket (and I should not like to embarrass him by asking him how much it is—I have a strong sus- picion), he has given a great deal more and better in the time that he has given, day after day, and year after year, all these twenty years, of a trained intellect, and of a vigilant oversight, in which service he has been helped by the codpera- tion of other intelligent and thoughtful minds, in whose services we have to-day an illustration of what has been doing in our public and private institutions of learning all over the United States. Believe me, ladies and gentlemen, it is this common service, this common sacrifice for the common well-being, which is to bind together in great movements for all that is best in the republic, the people of the whole land. A few views of the Paris Exposition of 1899, as studied by the Department of Public Instruction, were then shown and explained by Prof. Albert S. Bickmore. ae List or ACCESSIONS, 1900. LIBRARY.

At an Adjourned Meeting of the Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History, held December 24, 1900, the Presi- dent reported the death of Mr. OswaLp OTTENDORFER. The following minute was unanimously adopted and the Secretary was directed to present a copy of the same to the family of the deceased. OSWALD OTTENDORFER, DIED IN THIS CiTy, DECEMBER 15, 1900. The Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History deem it fitting to give expression upon their records, as nearly as the capacity of language will permit, to their deep regret at the removal of their esteemed friend and associate. His membership of the Board of Trustees of the Museum dates from the year 1886, and while he was deeply interested in forwarding its work, his serious illness in the later years compelled his absence at its assemblings. The incidents of Mr. OTTENDORFER’S early life attest his devotion to the advancement of the best interests of the race. Born in the little Austrian town of Zwittau he early entered upon the pursuit of liberal study, and while thus engaged the flames of a patriotic uprising in the cause of human liberty that burst forth in his native land enlisted his ardent sympathies and his personal prowess, involving great personal hardships, and at the risk of penalties, the rigors of which he narrowly escaped while they were enforced by the loss of life among his comrades in the great cause of liberty. a 108 . In Memoriam. With these inspirations of early manhood he found his way to America, and ever afterwards was the warm and effective advocate of popular institutions, and with a characteristic breadth of vision whose horizon was above and beyond mere partisanship. His large charities were cast in the direction of popular education, in the advancement of the interests of scientific investigation, in the elevation of art, — and of thoughtful provision for the infirmities of age and for the alleviation of suffering without regard to race, sex, color or creed. His native town became chiefly distinguished by being the place of his birth, and by his foundation there of an extensive free Public Library and a spacious Home for Orphans and for persons of advanced years. In this, his adopted city, some years since, he founded a Public Library and a Medical Dispensary, and, at a situation commanding remarkable scenic attrac- tions, he placed the Isabella Heimath, a home for aged men and women, with special departments for chronic invalids and for those convalescent. In the administration of these varied benefactions, until within a few days of his last illness, he took a personal interest. The conduct of the widely potential journal, over which he presided for more than forty years, commanded his like constant and personal supervision, always exercising, as it did under his direction, an influence intended to conserve the highest interests of the City, the State and Nation. His numerous benefactions were of his own devising, and their establishment was brought about unheralded and with an unobtrusive modesty that was with him a marked characteristic. In one capacity or another he was connected with many of the most promi- nent beneficent institutions of this city, and always with the most unselfish and generous zeal for the objects which they were established to promote. It will be long before his place and his steadfast salutary influence as a citizen will be supplied. His associates in the management of the Museum, from whose counsels he is forever withdrawn, now place among its permanent archives this all too brief record of their esteem, respect and affection for the memory of OSWALD OTTENDORFER. se Aa Ef i SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION LIBRARIE “y li 3 9088 900195488 wr Wiel AH fe Oi i a ae Ratan tre Vee Wem uw no be nea BORy a aN : % Ra ° ‘ a nL = ele SRE 9088 01630 8058 vr mere eee 71 Ob) BLO be bbb hohe 6 Wht wb Ohare Sahm behbhubee?
