Introduction

It has been said in a previous report that the function of the United
States National Museum is to make available to the Nation the collec-
tions entrusted to it for safekeeping. This it does by exhibiting
selected items and by organizing the remaining, and vastly larger,
part of the collections into a great reference library of material
objects. The effective performance of both these functions, it has
been pointed out, depends on that essential element in the work of a
successful museum, research.

Research—Orderly Inquiry

Research, that is, orderly inquiry aimed at discovering and inter-
preting facts, is not confined to the laboratory. It is as much a prod-
uct of one man at his books or before his work table, or simply seated
in contemplation under the heavens, as of a team of scores of spe-
cialists representing many disciplines and using elaborate equipment
and techniques. In the natural and cultural sciences as in other
fields (the cultural sciences here may be said to embrace the study of
man and his works—with emphasis on the products of his technology
and the household arts), this orderly inquiry follows a regular pro-
cedure: facts are gathered by observation and planned search; they
are evaluated and their. relationship determined; where possible,
conclusions or basic laws are derived; the results of the investigation
are published for the use of others.

By far the greater effort and time in most investigations are spent
patiently observing and recording facts. A spectacular achievement
crowning years of unpublicized labor may delude some into overlook-
ing this, but no such delusion assails the scientist or historian who
spends his life at these tasks. Nonetheless, he accepts the prospect
willingly, fully aware that success in research is almost without excep-
tion built upon the work of others.

In the National Museum research naturally enough starts with the
assembling of the great collections (see tabulation, p.3). These have
been growing for more than a hundred years as a result of the expedi-
tions of its staff, and through extensive deposits made by other Gov-
ernment agencies, private institutions, and individuals. From every
part of the world have been gathered cultural objects, plants, animals,
and minerals. Deposited in the National Museum as the institution
best able to make them available to the Nation as a whole, they create
a unique research facility for those who seek a better understanding
of man, his culture, and his environment.

2 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

Research on an object in the collections makes use of the accom-
panying documentation that tells where, when, how, and by whom it
was collected, with whom it was associated, or by whom and how it
was devised. The object is further identified, it is classified and de-
scribed according to the category to which it belongs, and its scientific
or historical significance is, if possible, determined. Information
such as this, assembled for a whole group of objects, provides a basis
for further theorizing and evaluation, and leads to the establishment
of broad general facts, or to the development of fundamental laws
or conclusions.

A multitude of skills and disciplines are brought to bear. For ex-
ample, the research required to arrange, or classify, plants or animals
according to taxonomic principles leads the curator, a taxonomist, to
draw on all aspects of the biological sciences in establishing valid
phylogenetic relationships. The geologist dealing with minerals finds
himself at once a chemist and a physicist, or he may combine his know]-
edge of the earth with a knowledge of botany or zoology. The his-
torian who deals with technology is as much engineer as scholar. The
specialist in any of the several fields of anthropology may comprehend
and use subject matter in half a dozen overlapping fields.

Traditionally the progress of research has varied from field to field
because investigators the world over have quite naturally given first
attention to the subject most evident or available, or about which infor-
mation was in most demand. In the natural sciences relatively more
has been done on mammals and birds than on insects, and relatively
more on insects and fishes than on marine invertebrates, of which whole
groups of creatures remain relatively unknown. A similar situation
prevails in the cultural sciences, treatment of which as formal dis-
ciplines is of recent origin. Archeology, ethnology, and physical
anthropology, for instance, date from the midnineteenth century, while
recognition of the history of technology as a division of history is
even more recent. Workers in these fields, as well as coping with
the task of correlating and organizing existing information, must
overcome the many obstacles to the development of complete and
reliable new data.

Typical Research Investigations

The scope of research in the natural and cultural sciences covered by
the National Museum is best illustrated by examples of recent work in
progress or published by its professional staff.

The excavation and study of a large Cheyenne village in South
Dakota produced archeological evidence important in interpreting the
role of the Indian tribes before and during the period of early historic

colonization. Field investigations in the lower Amazon Valley are
supplying similar evidence on the development and migration of
aboriginal cultures in that area. Changes in the material and social
culture of the Plains Indians following their acquisition of the Euro-
pean horse were shown in an ethnological monograph recently com-
pleted. A report on another study, this one in physical anthropology,
demonstrated that the adaptive correlations and ecological rules ap-
plying to warm-blooded animals in the wild state also apply to man,
who is presumed to be domesticated. Measurable success was attained
in tracing and interpreting interacting changes in the material culture
of Taiwan (Formosa) as they affected the economic status, family life,
and tribal organization of the inhabitants.

Reports were prepared on mammals recently collected in northern
Australia, in Arctic America, and in the eastern United States, and
also on the evolution of the specialized breeding and guiding habits of
the honey guides, an African family of birds. Revisionary studies of
two families of fishes were completed for the second volume of a faunal
report on the fishes of the Marshall and Marianas Islands, while an-
other study clarified in a noteworthy way the involved synonymy,
classification, and relationship of the frogs of southeastern Brazil.

Biologic, taxonomic, and biometric data on the molluscan fauna
of the Gulf of Mexico, the deeper waters of which constitute one of
the biologically lesser-known areas, were summarized in a monograph
of the mollusks of those waters. Studies centering on the classifica-
tion of insects have accumulated more information on the ladybird
beetles, rove beetles, humus beetles, and hairstreak butterflies. The
adaptation of copepods of the family Notodelphyidae to a commensal
association with tunicates, ascidians, and mollusks, together with
other bionomic details, was reviewed in a monographic description of
the American forms of this group of marine invertebrates.

In a continuing series of studies of Pacific Island plants, regional
revisions were completed for several families occurring in Fiji and
adjacent archipelagos. Similar contributions were made to the
knowledge of the family Gesneriaceae in Trinidad and Tobago and
of the family Bromeliaceae in Colombia, Brazil, and Bolivia. An im-
mediate economic use was found for the latter of these studies, made by
a Museum specialist at the request of the Rockefeller Foundation and
the Servico Nacional de Malaria, of Brazil, since the bromeliads are
air plants that in some instances are water holding and, hence, breed-
ing places for malarial mosquitoes.

Full geological details of the birth and growth of a volcano were
presented in a report on the Volcan de Parfcutin, in Michoacan, México.
Chemical analyses of uranium minerals and studies of their crystal-

line structure added details to the knowledge of that important sub-
ject. A paleontological monograph now in preparation on North
American lower Middle Ordovician brachiopods is contributing to
knowledge of the classification of these invertebrates and their cor-
relation with Ordovician forms. The interpretation of vertebrate fos-
sils collected by field expeditions in the Lower Eocene horizons of the
Green River Basin of western Wyoming materially advanced exist-
ing knowledge of the correlation of these horizons, which are now
recognized as being within the Knight formation.

The mechanical development of the halftone screen, which wed-
ded photography to printing, was traced from its invention in 1852
in a report that noted the influence of the halftone screen on many
facets of American life. The historical development of significant
machines, devices, and products related to the growth of American
technology is being traced in studies in progress; these include the
sewing machine, the camera, American plows of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries, and electric meters. Another study, of second-
ary woods used in colonial furniture, is providing a new technique
for identifying early pieces.

Further documentation of the relics and memorabilia of George
Washington and other historically prominent Americans produced
factual details of the lives and times of these individuals. Explora-
tion of ancient shipwrecks in the Florida Channel and the recovery
of material ranging from cannon barrels to teapots added to the
knowledge of ships and trade of the American colonial period and
increased the store of early objects precisely dated in use. Progress
on the preparation of catalogs and histories of the stamps and coins
in the collections is adding measurably to the available information
on these subjects.

Research—Professional Responsibility

Each member of the curatorial staff of the National Museum has
a professional responsibility to advance through research the know]l-
edge of materials under his charge. This knowledge aids him as
curator in classifying and arranging these materials. It aids him in
answering the hundreds of questions daily asked by the public and in
preparing interesting, meaningful, and informative exhibits for the
visitors of all ages who throng the public halls. It enables him, as a
scientist or historian carrying out the mission of the Smithsonian
Institution, to contribute his share to the broad reservoir of scientific
information on which the life of our country so greatly depends.

To the question, Why are these contributions to knowledge so
important? the reply must be that all knowledge is useful, though

6 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

not always for the same purpose or at the same time. To declare,
on the basis of its present usefulness, that one or another area of
investigation is the more valuable is to hazard a judgment before all
evidence is assembled, as well as to encroach upon a basic freedom—
freedom of inquiry. The curator himself may indeed be measured.
His diligence, his accuracy, his thoroughness may be assayed. His
judgment may perhaps be questioned if he chooses to glean facts after
the field has been harvested and his services are needed on the thresh-
ing floor. But it must be remembered that again and again in
research the grain of fact at first overlooked later has proved worth
the whole harvest twentyfold. As a professional devoted to building
up detailed mastery of his chosen field, the curator knows where and
how to glean further knowledge from it.

Here the meaning of the term “professional” as applied to the
‘museum curator comes into full focus. In the professional disciplines
more is involved than the mastery of a body of specialized knowledge.
Other areas of human endeavor require such mastery yet are not
classed as professions. ‘The essence of professionalism—and many un-
fortunately ignore this fact—is to be found in the strong sense of high
purpose and personal responsibility and the strict intellectual integrity
that motivate the individual and guide him in the use of his specialized
knowledge. These qualities and his concern for facts, his urge to seek
them and to inquire into the nature of things, to do research—all these
mark the museum curator and are the measure of his stature. Asa
professional he is a stronghold of individual initiative and responsi-
bility in a world threatened by the ant heap of collectivism.

The Museum seeks these qualities in its professional staff and,
finding them, places on the individual the high responsibility of carry-
ing out necessary research in his particular field. For the most part
it is needed only to give him administrative support and to make
certain that his efforts do not overlap or duplicate the work of others.

Serving thus, as the needs of the collections demand and the degree
of public support permit, he assures the continuing flow of infor-
mation, vital to the successful functioning of the Museum, that can
only arise from competent research. The effectiveness of this pro-
cedure, followed in all the great museums and research institutions of
the free world, is demonstrated by the published results.

* * * * * * *

In the light of these remarks, the following report will be seen to
measure both the accomplishments of the Museum staff and the public
support accorded the Museum in carrying out its mission.

Publications

In addition to an Annual Report, the National Museum issued 26
publications based on work in the national collections, including 1
in the Bulletin series, 24 papers in the Proceedings, and 1 in the Con-
tributions from the National Herbarium. The titles of these are
listed on pages 102 and 103. At the close of the year four bulletins and
one Proceedings paper were in press.

Members of the staff, their research associates, and collaborators
published through the Museum and in the scientific journals and else-
where a total of 138 books, articles, and reviews involving their special
field of interest in the national collections. These were distributed as
follows:

An additional number of articles, also based wholly or in part on
the collections, are published annually by the many scholars, re-
searchers, and visitors who use the Museum’s services.

On February 29, 1952, Gladys O. Visel retired as assistant editor
of the National Museum, after serving the Institution for 3414 years.

Funds Allotted

From the funds appropriated by Congress to carry on the opera-
tions of the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus during the fiscal
year 1951-52, the sum of $821,960 was allotted to the United States
National Museum. Of this allotment $780,260 was used for salaries
and expenses required for the preservation, increase, and study of the
national collections of anthropological, zoological, botanical, and
geological specimens, as well as materials illustrative of engineering,
industry, graphic arts and history. The remainder, $41,700, was used
for printing and binding.

Department of Anthropology

(FRANK M. SETZLER, Head Curator)

The department of anthropology has made continuing progress on
the long-range program of modernizing several of the large exhibi-
tion halls, of consolidating and providing additional documentation
for the collections. In particular, a complete revision of the Latin
American archeological hall was undertaken, and the entire gallery
devoted to the exhibition of ceramics was revised to show ceramics of
the world with emphasis on early English and American glass and
ceramics.

Highlighting the research completed by the staff was the presenta-
tion for publication of a monograph, “The Horse in Blackfoot Indian
Culture,” based upon 11 years of field work and research, by Associate
Curator John C. Ewers. Altogether, members of the staff completed
over 25 articles, 21 of which have been published.

ACCESSIONS

Among the important gifts received during the year was a well-
documented wampum belt of the eighteenth century, originally pre-
sented to Wyandot Indian chiefs by the Seneca Indians, a division
of the Iroquois Confederacy. With its symbolic message, which may
be interpreted as “Sit down here, accept hospitality, and be at peace,”
it served as a token of peace and friendship concluding the wars be-
tween this tribe and the Wyandot (Huron), who, just prior to their
removal in 1842, lived along Lake Erie near Sandusky, Ohio.

In the early 1880’s a large section of the original wampum belt was
presented by Kitty Greyeyes, widow of Chief John W. Greyeyes, to
Huldah H. Bonwill in appreciation of her services as a Quaker mis-
sionary and teacher among the Wyandot. Said the Indians to her,
“We often think how you work for us. We can’t pay you. You
keep this.” Later she gave the belt to a leader among the Quaker
Indian missions, Joseph S. Elkinton of Philadelphia, whose grand-
son, Howard W. Elkinton, presented the belt to the Museum 110 or
more years after peace had been secured.

During the examination of an archeological collection assembled
many years ago by the well-known agriculturist Dr. O. F. Cook, a
beautifully carved and painted Inca kero (wooden beer cup) was dis-
covered. Around the entire outer surface is depicted the rope-dance
ceremony in honor of the coronation of the Inca emperor Huascar

8

ANNUAL REPORT—ANTHROPOLOGY 9

(1525-1532). This well-preserved royal Inca object, together with
other Peruvian objects, was presented by Robert C. Cook, the son of
the collector.

Through a bequest from the late Mrs. Emily V. Taylor the national
collections were enriched by a noteworthy Philadelphia high chest,
er highboy. This example of one of the most sophisticated phases
of our colonial American culture is outstanding in that it embodies
characteristics of design and workmanship unusual in the Philadel-
phia highboy form of the period 1760-1770.

Archeology.—Well-documented archeological material from the
eastern United States, especially Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland,
and the District of Columbia, has been lacking. The accessioning
of 3,881 type specimens of potsherds and arrowheads from this area,
a welcome addition to the collections, was made possible by the gifts
of eight different collectors: Dr. B. C. MeCary, Dr. C. A. Michael,
Dr. C. G. Holland, and Asa Gray Phelps, of Virginia; Drs. T. Dale
Stewart and Clifford Evans, of the U.S. National Museum; Frederick
Ange, of North Carolina; and the Natural History Society of Mary-
land.

Ethnology.—The post-World War II period has brought to the
Museum new and valuable ethnological materials from distant places
and from peoples whose cultures hitherto were poorly represented.
Such an area is southeastern Asia and its great outlying islands of
Sumatra and Java, the source of an outstanding gift from Mr. and
Mrs. Robert C. Pierson, Jr. Consisting of a complete theater set of
130 appurtenances of the puppet show, wayang, which they obtained
from the puppet-master, dalang, in the Sundanese village of Tjiawi,
West Java, it also includes orchestral instruments, gamelan (gradu-
ated brass gongs and xylophones mounted on frames, a bowed rehab,
cymbals, and tubular wooden drums), that provide the musical ac-
companiment to the narrative of the master as he manipulates the
carved wooden puppets. Through these, costumed and painted to
represent traditional epic characters, the dalang—in asides—com-
ments freely on current events, local gossip, or world politics.

Brig. Gen. R. A. Osmun presented a collection he obtained from
natives of northern Burma and Assam during World War IJ, includ-
ing two short-ranged weapons used in shooting birds, a crossbow from
Burma, and a pellet bow, with clay pellets, from Assam. Mrs. Hoff-
man Philip gave a collection of religious objects, weapons, jewelry of
silver filigree, and accessories of dress, collected in Abyssinia by her
husband, the late Honorable Hoffman Philip, while in the diplomatic
service.

In the collection representing the colonial aspects of western
European cultures is an interesting group of objects associated with

10 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

English usage of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, pre-
sented by John Smithson and John Smithson, Jr.: A George II silver
tankard by Harvey Price of London (1731), a George III basting
spoon, a traveler’s silver wine cup made in Paris about 1750, and two
English silver luster teapots. Among the 17 specimens added to a
previous gift from Mrs. Lura Woodside Watkins are examples of
the earliest types of pressed glass made in Cambridge, Sandwich, and
Pittsburgh.

Physical Anthropology.—The largest accession this year repre-
sents a transfer of 78 human skeletons selected from 106 burials from
two Indian cemetery sites, now inundated by the John H. Kerr
Reservoir, on Buggs Island in the Roanoke River near Clarksville, Va.
This collection gains in scientific interest because very few Indian
remains have been recovered in the area.

EXHIBITION

Considerable attention was given to modernizing some of the
anthropological exhibition halls and to installing special exhibits
illustrating recent accessions.

In collaboration with the National Collection of Fine Arts a special
exhibition of aboriginal bark paintings and decorated ceremonial
objects entitled “Art and Magic in Arnhem Land, Australia,” was
opened in the foyer of the Natural History Building in the presence
of representatives of the Australian Embassy and the National Geo-
graphic Society, cosponsors with the Smithsonian Institution, of the
international expedition to Arnhem Land in 1948. <A portion of this
exhibit will be used to inaugurate the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibi-
tion, an undertaking of the National Collection of Fine Arts.

In close cooperation with the anthropological laboratory, the staff
in physical anthropology prepared exhibits illustrating new speci-
mens or demonstrating anthropological techniques. Among these
was one that illustrated the traditional skull-painting practiced by
the aborigines of Arnhem Land and another, the techniques used by
staff anthropologists in creating the Indian busts in the Museum
collection.

In a special archeological exhibit, the close similarity of certain
decorative techniques and surface treatments of pottery from the
eastern United States and the aboriginal Jomon period culture of
Japan was demonstrated. This exhibit, prepared under the general
theme of “Parallel Invention or Diffusion—A Ceramic Approach,”
was later permanently installed in the Old World archeology hall,
with other examples of Jomon period ceramics.

Under the direction of Associate Curator Clifford Evans, a plan
for revising the entire Latin American archeology hall was formu-

ANNUAL REPORT—ANTHROPOLOGY 1l

lated and undertaken. As a result, the hall is being divided into
culture area alcoves and the exhibits are being correlated in a mean-
ingful presentation that reconstructs the cultures of the major arche-
ological periods of Latin America: Mesoamerican, subdivided into its
two major regions, the Maya, with its glyphic writing, and the Valley
of Mexico, with its Aztec pictographic writing; circum-Caribbean;
tropical forest and marginal; and Andean. Of the total of 30 cases
in the new floor arrangement, 3 have been completely modified by the
cabinet shop, 4 partially completed, and exhibits for the Maya section
of the Mesoamerican alcove are ready for installation. This work,
involving the shifting and storing of many thousands of specimens,
some quite large, has advanced rapidly, thanks to the cooperation of
the maintenance and operations division and the efforts of Museum
Helpers Eugene P. Greer and Robert C. Jenkins.

The division of ethnology collaborated with the divisions of engi-
neering, and crafts and industries, in arranging an eight-case display
of tools and handicrafts for the fall meeting of the Karly American
Industries Association, including exhibits on whaling and the art
and life of the whaleman, and also a collection of 138 woodworking
tools lent by Frank H. Wildung.

The series of special exhibits interpreting the growing collections
of European and colonial American period art, ceramics, glass, home
furnishings, and the productions of outstanding early American
master craftsmen and silversmiths, was continued on display in the
foyer of the Natural History Building and will be enlarged to include
the productions of additional outstanding colonial craftsmen.

The arrangement and selection of specimens in the ceramics gallery
were revised by Associate Curator C. Malcolm Watkins in order to
display some of the many recent acquisitions of glass and ceramics
and to make possible a more comprehensive presentation, particu-
larly in English and American wares.

For the revised Pueblo exhibit illustrating the daily life of these
people the anthropological laboratory completed an exhibit con-
sisting of a ground plan of a Zufhi pueblo mounted on plywood, a
scale model showing construction of a Zuni pueblo roof, and mounted
photographs depicting the interior of a pueblo, a room elevation, and
cornfield scenes. This is coordinated with a new one-unit exhibit
of Zuni pottery, consisting of 16 representative vessels, that was
installed by Associate Curator John C. Ewers to replace the former
disproportionately large alcove exhibition of 375 vessels. The student
interested in more than a representative display of Pueblo pottery
may examine at first hand the large classified collections in the refer-
ence series.

Two noteworthy specimens of historical wampum were placed on
display with other historic relics of the western Indians: The recently

12 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

acquired wampum belt treasured by the Wyandot as a symbol of their
peace with the Seneca; and an Iroquois wampum mace, consisting of
six strings of tubular wampum beads cut from the shell of the clam
Venus mercenaria.

CARE OF COLLECTIONS

The constant attempt to obtain additional documentation on the
early collections received 100 or more years ago is occasionally richly
rewarded. A search for information on a sizable collection of
ethnological materials from the American Indian, Oceania, Asia,
and Africa, accessioned in 1866 under the name “J. Varden,” led to the
discovery, in the Smithsonian archives, of the original catalog of John
Varden’s Washington Museum. From this catalog it was learned that
a number of these objects had been assembled by him for what became
in 1836 the first museum in the city of Washington. These were
transferred to the National Institute in 1841, and later, to the Smith-
sonian Institution, making this one of the earliest documented collec-
tions in the Museum, many of its specimens having been preserved
for more than 110 years. John Varden, who founded the Washington
Museum, later became the first curator of the National Museum
and died in 1865.

As a part of the long-range program of modernizing exhibits many
thousands of specimens are being removed from the exhibition cases
and are being incorporated in the reference series, where they are
available to students and other investigators, much as are books in a
reference library or documents in a historical archive. The study
collection of glass and ceramics was removed from the inaccessible
storage bins beneath the exhibition cases, sorted by Assistant Curator
R. A. Elder and Museum Helper George McBryde over a period of 4
months and replaced in specially constructed drawers. Reclassifica-
tion of the study collections from the Plains Indians, begun in the
early spring, was nearing completion at the end of the year. Re-
organization and consolidation of the North American archeological
collections by Museum Helpers Eugene P. Greer and Robert C. Jen-
kins, under the direct supervision of Associate Curator Clifford Evans,
permitted the elimination of those objects showing no evidence of
workmanship, or lacking adequate documentation. During the first
6 months of the fiscal period, 9,949 lots of such specimens, useful to
illustrate types or categories of artifacts, were removed from the col-
lections and set aside for use as gifts to schools, children’s museums,
and for similar educational purposes, after which the attention of
the staff was devoted to reorganizing the Latin American archeologi-
cal collections, a task that will occupy them for many months to come.

ANNUAL REPORT—ANTHROPOLOGY 13

In the division of physical anthropology steel racks were installed
to house a large portion of the drawers of human skeletal material,
and plans for similar treatment of the remaining section of the study
collection were approved. The long-range project of providing the
division of ethnology with a standard type of insect-proof storage
case, initiated in 1925, was substantially completed.

Through the cooperation of the Leatherwork Division, U. S. Bu-
reau of Standards, a method was devised for the softening of animal
skins in old and brittle Plains Indian specimens. The anthropologi-
cal laboratory cleaned and restored parts of the Museum collection of
old paintings of Indian subjects; however, the main task of Prepara-
tors A. J. Andrews and J. E. Anglim centered around the moderniza-
tion of the anthropological exhibits and assisting the staff in building
numerous special exhibits for the foyer.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

In cooperation with the National Geographic Society, the Smith-
sonian Institution undertook to locate, survey, and photograph giant
human and animal effigies along the Colorado River near the town of
Blythe, Calif. Head Curator Frank M. Setzler and Richard H.
Stewart, assistant chief of the photographic laboratory of the Na-
tional Geographic Society, thanks to the excellent cooperation of
Flight B, 4th Air Rescue Service, U. S. Air Force, were able to locate
not only three giant effigies outlined in the desert gravels 15 miles
north of Blythe, but also two sites heretofore unreported—one near
Topock, Ariz., and a large site east of Ripley, Calif., on the Arizona
side of the Colorado River. Subsequent research indicated that these
unusually large effigies may have been created as a shrine commemo-
rating a mythological hero, “Elder Brother,” by a branch of the
Yuman-speaking group of Indians. A recorded myth and a descrip-
tion of a comparable effigy, obtained by Dr. Frank Russell some 50
years ago among the Pima Indians, 200 miles east of the Colorado
River, and published by him in the twenty-sixth (1904-1905) annual
report of the Smithsonian Bureau of American Ethnology, gives a
clue to the possible origin. These effigies were probably made some
time between 1540 and the middle of the nineteenth century. An
article describing these investigations was submitted to the National
Geographic Magazine.

At Washington University in St. Louis, Frank M. Setzler spent
several days working with Dr. Mildred Trotter on the analysis of
hair samples collected from Arnhem Land aborigines. He later ex-
amined an archeological site at Cambridge, Md., that has produced
types of prehistoric artifacts unusual for this section of the country.

The burial site was found to lie beneath a 40-foot sand dune which
has formed along the banks of the Choptank River. In January 1952
he was chosen President-Elect of the Washington Academy of
Sciences.

Neil M. Judd, associate in anthropology, continued his researches
resulting from the archeological investigations he directed for the
National Geographic Society in Chaco Canyon, N. Mex., and during
the year he edited and submitted a monograph by the late Dr. Kirk
Bryan, of Harvard University, entitled “The Geology of Chaco
Canyon, New Mexico, in Relation to the Life and Remains of the
Prehistoric Peoples Who Inhabited Pueblo Bonito.” As the year
ended, Mr. Judd was engaged on a report of the excavations at Pueblo
del Arroyo.

Dr. W. W. Taylor, collaborator in anthropology, directed six
field trips in connection with the Pueblo ecology survey in the Four
Corners district of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. This
work was done under permit from the Secretary of the Interior and
the Navaho Council. Although a number of archeological sites were
located, some of considerable promise for general work, it became
apparent that the sites for this specific program are not to be found
in the Kayenta region of the Four Corners district. He continued his
work on a monograph of the cave excavations in Coahuila, México.

Physical Anthropology.—Dr. T. D. Stewart, curator of physical
anthropology, completed or advanced 15 different projects, some of
which have been in progress for some time. Among the new projects
the following are noteworthy:

At the suggestion of a Lincoln scholar, Dr. M. A. Shutes, he under-
took to appraise Lincoln’s physical dimensions, particularly those
yielded by original casts of life masks of his head and hands taken by
the sculptors Volk and Mills in 1860 and 1865, respectively, and now in
the Museum collections. Nearing completion was a summary, brought
together for handy reference, of information available for the identi-
fication of skeletal remains in medicolegal cases, to which have been
added observations, based on the large Museum collections, relating to
the determination of age. In August, Dr. Stewart presented a paper
on physique and environment at a conference on anthropological
sciences, celebrating the four-hundredth anniversary of the founding
of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos de Lima in Pert.
His paper stressed the difficulties inherent in studying by means of
traditional techniques those changes in the human body attributable to
environmental factors. The measurements that he had taken on the
Indians in highland Guatemala a few years ago were used to illustrate
this point.

ANNUAL REPORT—-ANTHROPOLOGY 15

His diagnosis and description of some pathological bones from
Tinian in the Marianas Islands in the western Pacific, collected by
Dr. Alexander Spoehr of the Chicago Natural History Museum, re-
vealed the presence of yaws. Coming from an ancient site, these
bones apparently constitute a very early example of prehistoric yaws.
In the course of studying another lot of bones, those from Conkling
Cavern, N. Mex., thought to be among the oldest human skeletal re-
mains thus far recovered on this continent, Dr. Stewart decided that
an objective test of their antiquity was needed. Accordingly he
secured some of the associated Pleistocene-type animal bones from
the Los Angeles County Museum, which had supplied the human
bones, and arranged with Dr. F. J. McClure, of the National Institutes
of Health, to make comparative tests for fluorine. The results, al-
though not as conclusive as desirable, do not refute the antiquity im-
plied by the stratigraphy and association.

During the first half of the fiscal year the associate curator, Dr.
M. T. Newman, was occupied in providing additional documentation
for the collection of plaster-of-paris busts and face masks representing
the different races of the world, after which he continued the collection
of detailed data on the native Australian skeletal material from Arn-
hem Land. In April Dr. Newman delivered a lecture before the Phila-
delphia Anthropological Society, entitled “The Racial Anthropology
of the Aboriginal New World.” This dealt largely with the demon-
stration that many of the adaptive correlations and ecological rules of
biology apply to man as well as to other warm-blooded animals. An
abstract of this lecture is being published by the Philadelphia Anthro-
pological Society. In addition, he was able to start a study of the
large, well-preserved and documented Indian skeletal series from
Mobridge, S. Dak., from which he hopes to clarify protohistoric popu-
lation movements in the northern plains.

Ethnology.—Curator H. W. Krieger has in preparation a manu-
script on La Isabela, Dominican Republic, which will provide a record
cf the settlement based on Spanish primary sources, supplemented
with geographical and archeological data obtained through field
work at the site in 1945, 1947, and 1952. During his latest visit to the
Dominican Republic, where he represented the Smithsonian Institu-
tion at the Fifth Interamerican Congress of Municipal History, in
Ciudad Trujillo, he again examined La Isabela—established by Chris-
tcpher Columbus in December 1493, on his second voyage—a settle-
ment that symbolizes to Hispanic America what Jamestown signifies,
historically and culturally, to Anglo-America. He continued work
on his report on the Smithsonian Expedition of 1947 to Indian village
sites associated with the first voyage of Christopher Columbus and con-

16 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

solidated data on the aboriginal tribes of the West Indies accumulated
since the inception in 1928 of the Smithsonian’s anthropological proj-
ect in that area. Progress was made with classifying the collections
obtained and in preparing the manuscript summarizing the results.
He also plans a monograph of the Indians of the Antilles. During
the year he was elected associate member of the Junta Nacional de Ar-
queologia y Etnologia and the Sociedad Colombista Panamericana, of
the Cuban Ministry of Education, Habana, Cuba.

Associate Curator John C. Ewers submitted for publication a mono-
graph, “The Horse in Blackfoot Indian Culture,” based upon a pro-
gram of research extending over 11 years. At the invitation of the
Newberry Library, Chicago, he participated, in March 1952, in a con-
ference of scholars of American Indian ethnology and Indian history
to discuss methodological problems in ethnohistorical research. The
award of a Neosha grant enabled him to spend 2 months in the field,
during which time he studied and photographed the extensive collec-
tion of Blood and Piegan Indian collections in the Denver Art Mu-
seum, then visited the Blood Reserve, Alberta, Canada, and the Black-
foot Reservation, Mont., to interview elderly Indian informants.
Photographs of the remarkable series of ceremonial headdresses and
other equipment used by Blood Indian women in the buffalo dance
ceremony of the Matoki Society served as an introduction to the inves-
tigation of the history, organization, paraphernalia, and procedures of
that little-known society whose ceremony was witnessed and briefly de-
scribed by Prince Maximilian of Wied in 1833, and which still survives
among the conservative Blood Indians. On his return, Mr. Ewers
examined the collection of Blood Indian materials at the Chicago
Museum of Natural History.

Associate Curator C. Malcolm Watkins continued his study of
colonial archeological materials, particularly the simple pottery types
found at Jamestown and Kicotan, Va. He also made brief studies of
Gallatin glass in the Museum collections and of the Washington
glassworks, both for publication in Antiques.

Mrs. Arthur M. Greenwood generously devoted much time to the
documentation of the collection of colonial arts and furnishings given
by her and the late Dr. Arthur M. Greenwood in 1951.

Archeology.—F ollowing the completion of his field investigations
for the Smithsonian River Basin Surveys in the Oahe Reservoir along
the Missouri River in Stanley County, S. Dak., Curator Waldo R.
Wedel undertook an analysis and description of the collections made.
In the spring he spent several days at Princeton University examining
archeological collections, dated by carbon-14 at cirea 5000 B. C., from
the Horner site near Cody, Wyo. He also participated in the Ninth
Plains Archeological Conference in Lincoln, Nebr. At year’s end Dr.

ANNUAL REPORT—ANTHROPOLOGY 17

Wedel was again in the field, representing the Smithsonian Institu-
tion on a joint excavation project with Princeton University at the
Horner site near Cody, Wyo. Dr. Wedel was reelected president of
the Anthropological Society of Washington.

Associate Curator Clifford Evans presented for publication “A
Ceramic Study of Virginia Archeology,” a sequence of aboriginal
culture development, both spatially and temporally, that provides a
structural framework for future archeological work in the region. A
related study on projectile points and blades, prepared by Dr. C. G.
Holland of Virginia under his direction, appears as an appendix to
the manuscript. Dr. Evans delivered two papers on aspects of the
subject at the Eastern States Archeological Federation and the Amer-
ican Anthropological Association meetings. He and Dr. Betty J.
Meggers continued their collaboration in the analysis and interpre-
tation of archeological materials excavated in 1948-49 for the Depart-
ment of Anthropology, Columbia University, by the Lower Amazon
Expedition in the Territory of Amapa and on the Islands of Mexiana,
Caviana, and Marajo. In connection with the preparation of this
monograph they studied South American archeological collections in
the Chicago Natural History Museum and the American Museum of
Natural History.

Research by visiting investigators.—During the year 4,280 people
conferred with members of the staff in the department offices and
laboratory. Of this group over 300 scientists made use of the collec-
tions for their specific research, coming for this purpose from all parts
of the United States, México, and South America, as well as from such
widely separated places as Bangkok, Thailand; Zagreb and Belgrade,
Yugoslavia; Taipei, Formosa; Sweden; Canada; Tokyo, Japan;
Paris, France; and Australia. These contacts make possible a highly
valuable exchange of anthropological services that benefits both the
outside investigator and the Museum staff.

Department of Zoology

(HERBERT FRIEDMANN, Acting Head Curator) *

The year’s accomplishments are fairly evenly divided between com-
pleted researches and extensive improvements and reorganization in
the care of the collections. The latter aspect of the department’s work
was made possible by the receipt of new storage cases and drawers.
To single out for special mention just a few of the many researches
brought to the stage of manuscript completion during the year, the
following illustrate the current scientific work of the department:

NortTH AMERICAN COPEPODS OF THE FAMILY NOTODELPHYIDAE

A monographic account by Paul L. Illg, formerly associate curator of marine
invertebrates.

Urocortmp MoLiusKs or CuBA

A large monograph devoted to the systematics and distribution of this large
family of Cuban mollusks, representing the culmination of many years’ work,
by Paul Bartsch, associate in mollusks.

THE Honry GUIDES

A monograph of this family of African and Asiatic birds, with particular
emphasis on the problems they present in the phylogeny and evolution of be-
havior patterns, by Herbert Friedmann, curator of birds.

AMERICAN SEA SHELLS

A popular, illustrated book primarily designed to help the amateur students
and collectors of shells, by R. Tucker Abbott, associate curator of mollusks.

There were issued during the year over 300 publications wholly or
in part based on material in the national collections. Members of
the zoological staff were authors, either solely or jointly, of many of
these.

The number of specimens added to the zoological collections was
somewhat larger than in the preceding year and much larger than that
in 1949-50.

The resignation, to enter university work, of Paul L. Ilg, associate
curator of marine invertebrates, leaves a serious gap in the staff of
specialists on marine invertebrates.

ACCESSIONS

Accessions received during the year totaled 251,290 specimens of
all groups of animals. This material, from a world-wide range of
localities, added greatly to the usefulness and significance of the col-

ANNUAL REPORT—ZOOLOGY 19

lections, and not only filled many gaps, but also brought to the
Museum much type material and many specimens of reference value
and, in some cases, of exhibition interest.

While the major accessions are listed under the divisional group-
ings, it may be pointed out that the investigations, continued from
the preceding year, of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service vessel
Oregon in the Gulf of Mexico, under the leadership of Stewart
Springer, brought to the Museum further valuable and diverse collec-
tions of fishes, crustaceans, and other marine invertebrates from the
deeper waters of that area. Similarly productive was the Blue
Dolphin expedition, commanded by David C. Nutt, along the coast
of Labrador. One long-range collecting operation came to a close as
M. A. Carriker, Jr., working under the W. L. Abbott fund, com-
pleted the field work for an ornithological survey of northern Colom-
bia. A new 3-year collecting project was instituted, a survey of the
birds of Northern Rhodesia, by Maj. Edward H. Haydock, a resident
of that country.

Accessions proving to be of particular interest and importance in-
clude the following:

Mammals.—The Army Medical Service Graduate School’s survey
of Mount Kinabalu, North Borneo, resulted in a fine collection of 579
mammals, including many species and subspecies previously unrepre-
sented in the Museum. From the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
were transferred some 685 specimens, including material needed for
an adequate exhibition group of Alaskan sea otters. With the aid
of the Office of Naval Research, Dr. Henry W. Setzer collected 141
mammals from the Arctic slope of Alaska; through the Spencer F.
Baird fund was purchased a notable lot of 183 specimens collected
in Labrador by Dana P. Snyder.

Birds.—Through the W. L. Abbott fund, M. A. Carriker, Jr., con-
tinued work in Colombia, sending in 1,073 skins, 9 skeletons, and 8
eggs from that country, while from Panama Dr. A. Wetmore and
W. M. Perrygo obtained 675 skins, 9 skeletons, 5 specimens in alcohol,
9 eggs, and 1 nest. American Consul Donald W. Lamm sent 379
skins from Mozambique; the Public Health Service, through Dr.
Laurence Irving of the Arctic Health Research Center, 302 skins from
northern Alaska; Father Antonio Olivares presented 675 skins from
Colombia ; the National Geographic Society, 75 skins from Venezuela;
the Musée du Congo Belge presented a pair of the rare Congo peacock
Afropavo congensis; and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service depos-
ited 1,196 skins of North American birds.

Reptiles and amphibians.—A valuable lot of 75 specimens from
Mount Kinabalu, North Borneo, was received from the Army Medical
Service Graduate School; and from the Naval Medical Research Unit

20 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

No. 3, a collection comprising 1,165 reptiles and amphibians from
Egypt and adjoining countries. M. B. Mittleman presented 2 types
and 4 paratypes of new species of salamander, and Ottys Sanders
donated 1 type and 6 paratypes of a new species of toad.

Fishes.—Dr. E. A. Lachner gave a collection of 16,417 fishes from
the eastern United States. In addition, assisted by W. T. Leapley, he
collected for the Museum 15,037 fishes in southeastern United States.
Dr. George Moore, Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College,
sent as an exchange 5,115 named fresh-water fishes from the Arkansas
and Red Rivers. These, with the two lots received from Dr. Lachner,
form a highly valuable and useful addition to the Museum’s series
of North American fresh-water fishes. By exchange from the Mu-
seum of Comparative Zoology were received many valuable specimens,
including 104 holotypes, cotypes, and paratypes. A number of other
institutions and individuals contributed type specimens to the total
of 1 holotype, 60 cotypes, and 47 paratypes.

Insects.—Approximately 6,000 miscellaneous insects were collected
for the Museum by O. L. Cartwright, about two-thirds of them Cole-
optera, largely from the grounds of the Inter-American Institute of
Agricultural Sciences, Costa Rica. This sample of the fauna of the
region is of importance, since the Museum is frequently called upon
by members of the staff of the Institute for identifications of their
local insects. A second important accession was a collection of about
4,300 neotropical bugs, both Homoptera and Heteroptera, donated by
Drs. Luis F. Martorell and John S. Caldwell. Again, its importance
hes in the fact that the Museum is being called upon more and more
by South American workers for identifications, and therefore needs
to have its neotropical collections strengthened in all groups. With
the increasing interest shown in the far north, the Museum needs also
to enlarge its collection of Arctic material; therefore, the collection of
nearly 2,000 insects from Alaska made by Dr. R. I. Sailer and trans-
ferred by the Department of Agriculture is noteworthy.

Marine invertebrates.—A gift from Mrs. J. Paul Visscher and her
children brought approximately 11,000 barnacles and other marine
invertebrates, as well as publications, notes, and lantern slides from
the collections of the late Dr. J. Paul Visscher. Dr. A. S. Pearse
presented 23 barnacles, 290 copepods, including 22 type lots, and 26
isopods, including 1 type lot, all from Texas. Dr. E. A. Lachner col-
lected 2 shrimps and 247 crayfishes from the southern United States.
From the Hopkins Marine Station, Pacific Grove, Calif., were re-
ceived 631 slides of ostracods, including considerable type material.
The Arctic Research Laboratory of the Office of Naval Research,
through Dr. J. Bohlke, transferred 1,410 specimens of marine in-
vertebrates from Point Barrow, Alaska. Dr. Stillman Wright do-
nated 533 lots of copepods and other fresh-water plankton from

ANNUAL REPORT—ZOOLOGY 21

South America. The Division of Oceanography, U. S. Navy Hydro-
graphic Office, transferred more than 290 specimens of planktonic
invertebrates from the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to these, at least
a dozen other accessions contained type material.
Mollusks.—Outstanding was the gift from Pedro de Mesa of 4,400
land, fresh-water, and marine mollusks from the Philippines, the most
important collection of Philippine mollusks received in 30 years.
From Mr. and Mrs. James A. Grigg came 1,380 marine mollusks,
largely from Western Australia, a region hitherto poorly represented
in the collection; from Mrs. F. K. Hadley, the holotype and 74 para-
types of Zerebra hoffmeyert Abbott, from the Philippines; in ex-
change from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, a total of 2,543
specimens, including 40 lots of paratypes; from Leslie Hubricht, 24
paratypes of new species in the family Polygyridae, from North Caro-
lina, described by him; in exchange from I’Institut Francais d’Afrique
Noire, Dakar, through Dr. P. L. Dekeyser, 169 marine mollusks from
French West Africa, an area poorly represented in the collection;
from Dr. Joseph P. E. Morrison, 22,000 mollusks collected between
1934 and 1951 in the area from Pennsylvania to Virginia, west to
Missouri, the largest accession received this year; from Dr. Mario
Sanchez Roig, 65 recently described land mollusks from Cuba, in-
cluding 9 lots of paratypes; from Mr. and Mrs. John N. Sennott, 45
marine mollusks from the Gulf of Mexico, including the holotypes
of 4 new species described by H. A. Rehder and R. T. Abbott; from
Sozon Vatikiotis, 264 marine mollusks from the Red Sea, a welcome
addition from this rich but inadequately represented area; and from
the Zoological Institute, Kyoto University, through Dr. Tadashige
Habe, 55 rare marine mollusks from Japan, of which 18 lots are
paratypes of species recently described by him.
Helminths.—Among 11 accessions received during the year, 4 were
of great reference value, as they contained type material: From W. F.
Johnson and J. K. Copsey, the holotype of Opisthadena bodegensis,
from California; from Prof. T. O. Odlaug, the holotype of the trema-
tode Brachylaemus condylurae, from Minnesota; from Oregon State
College, the holotype and 4 paratypes of Proteocephalus salmonidi-
cola; from Dr. H. J. Van Cleave, 5 paratypes of an acanthocephalan,
Neoechinorhynchus prolicus, from Oklahoma.
Echinoderms.—Outstanding among the 12 accessions received dur-
ing the year, totaling 347 specimens, is a lot of 26 specimens from the
Gulf of Mexico, transferred by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

EXHIBITION

The program of modernizing the outmoded synoptic displays con-
tinued. Two groups of North American mammals, the Virginia deer

22 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

and the puma, were remodeled and provided with new rock and plant
accessories and the cases equipped with internal illumination. The
skilled use of monochrome back drops and accessories in these pro-
duces an acceptable approximation of the more costly panoramic back-
ground of the habitat type of display. In addition to these two com-
pleted cases, Exhibits Preparator W. L. Brown and his staff under-
took the renovation of the North American bear group, and made
substantial progress on another, the Alaskan sea otters. Work was
also started on an exhibit of the large colonial nest of the palm chat
Dulus dominicus, of Hispaniola.

The exhibit of deep-sea fishes was improved by the repair of some
specimens. Among other changes, a very large reticulated python,
a ball python, and 4 local species of snakes were placed on exhibition ;
and an alligator and 6 pronghorn antelopes were removed from dis-
play; 7 birds were mounted and added to the exhibition collections;
the frog and lizard exhibits in the hall of comparative anatomy were
rearranged; and considerable work was done on the labels and light
boxes of the habitat group cases.

CARE OF COLLECTIONS

The receipt during the year of an unprecedented quantity of new
storage cases and trays made it possible to accomplish a great deal in
the care of the study collections. Notable progress was made in merg-
ing the bird collections of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service with
those of the Museum. This involved rearranging about 60,000 birds
in some 850 cases. The merging is now complete from the lowest
groups up through the pigeons (Columbidae), as well as in a number
of families beyond this point in the systematic series. The rear-
rangement of the mammal collection progressed through the families
Canidae, Procyonidae, and Mustelidae. As larger cases are released
by the merging of the bird collections, further rearrangements of
the mammals are contemplated.

Routine processing and cataloging of the reptile and fish collections
continued. To conserve space and equipment in the fish collections,
small cataloged lots from the same locality were combined in larger
single containers, these small lots being first placed in shell vials
plugged with cotton to preserve their identity. Also, large speci-
mens are being tagged and placed together in large containers, and
large jars are being replaced by smaller ones where possible. A
new type of monel-lined storage tank was installed, each half of
which accommodates the contents of three earthenware crocks but oc-
cupies only two-thirds the space.

ANNUAL REPORT—ZOOLOGY 23

In the insect collection, the Megaloptera, Neuroptera, Raphidioidea,
and Mecoptera were entirely rearranged, and the overhauling of the
collection of Collembola was completed.

Under the direction of F. M. Bayer, associate curator of marine
invertebrates, the collection of sea anemones was arranged alphabeti-
eally. In other portions of the invertebrate collection the shifting of
specimens from unsatisfactory bottles to safer ones continued.

All the mollusk types have now been segregated, integration of the
collections of West Indian land shells and those of the mainland and
neotropical areas was completed, and all the Old World land-shell
collections were similarly merged.

As usual, a considerable part of the time of the taxidermists was
devoted to making up and renovating skins and cleaning skeletons.
In all, the skins of 19 turtles were prepared, 56 bird skins were made
up and 188 others degreased and remade, and 14 mammals were
skinned and made up and 27 others remade. Skeletons prepared in-
cluded 109 skeletons and 1,828 skulls of mammals, and 172 complete
skeletons, 19 partial ones, and 4 skulls of birds. The collection of
District of Columbia butterflies was cleaned and fumigated.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Mammals.—Associate Curator David H. Johnson continued work
on two major reports, one on the mammals of the Arnhem Land Ex-
pedition of 1948 and the other on mammals of the Pacific Ocean
area, based mainly on specimens collected during World War II;
and he undertook a third involving a study of collections made in the
summer of 1951 on Mount Kinabalu in cooperation with the Army
Medical Service Graduate School.

Associate Curator Henry W. Setzer returned from his field work
on the Arctic slope of Alaska early in the year, and completed most
of the report on his collections in the form of a manual of the mammals
of the area. He initiated a complete survey of the mammals of
Alaska at the request of and in cooperation with representatives of the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who are at the University of Alaska,
and he continued his study of the mammals collected by U. S. Naval
Medical Research Unit No. 3 in Egypt and the Anglo-Egyptian
Sudan and also his revision of the American shrews of the genus
Cry ptotis.

Assistant Curator Charles O. Handley, Jr., continued his major
study of Arctic mammals, completing the work on the lemmings
and hares and making progress on other groups, the project being
approximately 50 percent complete. He made systematic studies

24 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

of the flying squirrels, the pine mice, and the pipistrelle bats, and
made progress on his studies of the mammals of Labrador and Guate-
mala. In June he sailed from New York as a member of an expedi-
tion sponsored and led by Laurence K. Marshall, of Cambridge, Mass.,
for several months of field work in the Kalahari Desert region of
South-West Africa.

Birds.—In addition to publishing several book reviews and papers,
Curator Herbert Friedmann completed the manuscript covering the
families Ploceidae, Icteridae, and Thraupidae for the second volume
of the “Distributional Check-List of the Birds of Mexico,” and pre-
pared the manuscript for the ranges of the Ploceidae, Icteridae,
Thraupidae, and part of the Fringillidae for the fifth edition of the
American Ornithologists Union “Check-List of North American
Birds.” He completed a chapter for a book on current ornithological
research, “Recent Revisions in Classification and Their Biological
Significance,” and with Dr. A. L. Rand of the Chicago Natural His-
tory Museum began a study of the birds of Gaboon. The draft of his
monograph of the African honey guides was completed.

Associate Curator H. G. Deignan made excellent progress on his
critical catalog of the type specimens of birds in the Museum, and
on his check-list of the birds of the Indochinese region. During the
year he published 6 papers on Oriental and Australian birds, and
prepared several as yet unpublished manuscripts on additional species.

Dr. A. Wetmore devoted most of his research time to studying the
Panamanian and Colombian collections and published 9 papers in con-
nection with these and other studies.

Reptiles and amphibians.—Associate Curator Doris M. Cochran
devoted a large segment of her time to research on the frogs of west-
ern Brazil, a supplement to her paper on the frogs of southeastern
Brazil, the manuscript of which has been accepted for publication.
During the year she published a paper describing two new Brazilian
frogs.

Fishes.—Curator Leonard P. Schultz and Associate Curator Ernest
A. Lachner continued the preparation of volume 2 of “The Fishes of
the Marshall and Marianas Islands,” undertaken in conjunction with
the atom-bomb experiments. This extensive work, which has occupied
nearly all of the research time of the curator since January 1946,
and that of the associate curator since February 1949, thus far has
involved the study of 69 families embracing 231 genera and 598 species.
Volume 1 is now in publication and volume 2 is far advanced; 2 big
families having been completed this year, leaving only 3 large families
and about 3 small ones uncompleted. During the year Dr. Schultz
published 4 papers and submitted for publication 4 others.

ANNUAL REPORT—ZOOLOGY 25

Dr. Lachner published 1 paper and submitted manuscripts of 3
others. With William T. Leapley, museum aid, he undertook ecologi-
eal, life history, and taxonomic investigations of fresh-water fishes
through the Piedmont sections of the southeastern and south-central
States, collecting over 15,000 fishes as well as various other zoological
specimens.

Insects.—Curator E. A. Chapin continued his revision of the Coc-
cinellidae of the Andean region of South America, devoting most of
his time to the Colombian fauna, although considerable work was
done on the much less rich Chilean species.

Associate Curator R. EH. Blackwelder, whose study of the generic
names of the beetle family Staphylinidae was in the final stages of
publication, has two projects in progress, the bibliography and index
to his check-list of the coleopterous insects of México, Central America,
the West Indies, and South America, which is nearly completed, and
his classification of the beetle family Staphylinidae, of which two
sections out of a possible eight are in preliminary form.

Associate Curator William D. Field continued his investigations
of the butterfly family Lycaenidae, working on three groups or sub-
genera, of the genus 7hecla. A new classification of the subfamily
Theclinae is expected to emerge from this work. He also undertook
a study of three small genera of pierids, with special reference to the
South American species.

Associate Curator O. L. Cartwright continued his investigations on
the scarabaeid subfamily Aphodiinae. Two generic revisions for the
Western Hemisphere, one of Psammodius and another of Ataentus,
arein progress. The latter is of some economic importance, inasmuch
as many of its species serve as intermediate hosts for worms parasitic
in higher animals.

Associate Curator Grace Glance continued work on a species of
Collembola which shows certain unusual structures for the family
Tsotomidae.

Marine invertebraies.—Curator F. A. Chace, Jr., published his
study of a number of species of decapod and stomatopod Crustacea
and completed a short manuscript on the stomatopod fauna of the
Gulf of Mexico for inclusion in a volume on the biology and ocean-
ography of that area. He brought to the final stages of completion
his manuscript on the porcellanid crabs of West Africa and started
the introduction to the chapter on the Malacostraca and an illus-
trated key to the North American fresh-water shrimps, both of which
are to appear in the revised edition of “Fresh-water Biology” by
Ward and Whipple.

26 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

Paul L. Illg, before resigning as associate curator, completed his
monograph of the North American copepods of the family Notodel-
phyidae.

Associate Curator F. M. Bayer completed four manuscripts on octo-
corals, and also one on the alcyonarian fauna of the Gulf of Mexico
for the volume on the biology and oceanography of that area.

C. R. Shoemaker, associate in zoology, devoted much of his time
to the identification of amphipods and to a report on the amphipods
of the waters off Point Barrow, Alaska.

Mrs. Mildred S. Wilson, collaborator in copepod Crustacea, con-
tinued studies preliminary to a monographic report on the North
American copepods of the genus Diaptomus, as well as studies on
other fresh-water copepods from Alaska.

As usual, the work of the division was greatly aided by the volun-
teer specialists, listed below, who kindly identified material of various
groups.

Mollusks.—Curator Harald A. Rehder finished a paper summa-
rizing current knowledge of the mollusks of the Gulf of Mexico, and
collaborated with R. Tucker Abbott, associate curator, on a paper
describing new species and subspecies of mollusk from the Gulf of
Mexico. He devoted some time to his study of the genus Distorsio
and to some interesting Caribbean species in the family Muricidae.

Associate Curator Joseph P. E. Morrison completed his studies on
the Cypraeidae of Bikini, and did considerable work on the Conidae
of the same area. He continued his studies of the families Ellobiidae,
Pleuroceridae, and Thiaridae. In June, he left to spend 3 months
in the field on Raroia Atoll, in the Tuamotu Islands, on an expedition
sponsored by the Pacific Science Board.

ANNUAL REPORT——ZOOLOGY 27

Associate Curator R. Tucker Abbott published two shorter papers
describing new species and did considerable work on the Neritidae of
Bikini. He made substantial progress with his account of American
sea-shells.

Dr. Paul Bartsch, associate in mollusks, completed his large mono-
eraph of the Urocoptidae of Cuba.

Research by visiting investigators.—Approximately 2,500 persons,
of whom more than 200 were professional biologists or serious stu-
dents, visited the offices and laboratories seeking information or the
identification of specimens, consulting the staff and the literature, and
examining the study collections. The wide range of interests covered
is shown by the following partial list of scientists, other than those of

Department of Botany

(Jason R. SwALLEN, Head Curator)

The botanical collections have been enriched by significant material
from diverse regions, some of which have been very poorly represented
in the herbarium. Accessions increased almost 40 percent over last
year, and exceeded those of any year since the organization of the
department. Continued emphasis on curatorial work has improved
the usefulness of the collections and increased the efficiency with which
they can be consulted. The research of staff members is reflected in
the 22 papers completed and submitted for publication, while 85 ad-
ditional papers, based in part on material in the National Herbarium,
were published by other investigators.

ACCESSIONS

A number of important or noteworthy collections were received
by the department. Received in exchange were 515 specimens from
the Instituto de Botanico, Universidad Nacional de Tucuman, Tucu-
man, Argentina, collected by H. Sleumer in Patagonia, a region
poorly represented in the National Herbarium; 659 specimens from
the Botanical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R.,
consisting of 5 fascicles of the “Herbarium Flora SSSR” and various
collections from western Siberia; 1,187 specimens from the Division

CARE OF COLLECTIONS

The maintenance of the collections and the processing of new mate-
rial continued normally, although more was accomplished than in
preceding years. The major activities are summarized in the follow-

ing tabulation:

There were 968 types segregated from the general herbarium or
selected from recent accessions and incorporated in the type herba-
rium, which now contains 52,768 specimens, as follows: Phanero-
gams, 37,579; grasses, 9,759; ferns, 3,090; cryptogams, 2,340.

The Hitchcock and Chase Library was increased by 124 publications
on grasses, making a total of 6,976. The grass species index now con-
contains 78,007 entries, 196 having been added during the year. Thir-
teen fruits were added to the special collection of the division of
phanerogams, which now consists of 1,061 specimens.

The custom of fumigating the herbarium twice a year has seemed
more frequent than necessary, and for the last two years the collections
have been fumigated only once a year. Since no insect damage or in-
festation has been noted, the latter schedule will be continued, with a
resulting saving of material and greater convenience to the staff and
visiting botanists. All incoming specimens are fumigated at once.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Phanerograms.—Continuing his studies of Pacific Island plants,
Dr. A. C. Smith submitted for publication five papers in his series on
this subject, including regional revisions of the families Cunoniaceae,
Kuphorbiaceae, and Elaeocarpaceae for Fiji and some adjacent archi-
pelagos, as well as miscellaneous notes on other families.

Dr. L. B. Smith continued his work on separate accounts of the
family Bromeliaceae in Colombia, Bolivia, and Brazil, his major effort
being directed toward the completion of keys to the 550 Brazilian
species. His research in the genus Begonia, in collaboration with Dr.
Bernice G. Schubert, has continued with the publication of one report.
The manuscript of a treatment of the genus Xyris in Colombia, a joint
project with Dr. Jestis M. Idrobo, has been completed, and studies of
the Colombian Violaceae are being continued in collaboration with
Dr. Alvaro Fernandez.

From February to May, he carried on field work in eastern Brazil,
visiting States from Para to Santa Catarina, to study the family

ANNUAL REPORT—BOTANY 31

Bromeliaceae in relation to malaria control. The field work was
made possible by the cooperation of the Rockefeller Foundation and
various Brazilian institutions, notably the Servico Nacional de Ma-
laria, the Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues,” the Museu Nacional, the
Jardim Botinico do Rio de Janeiro, and the Instituto de Botanica de
Sao Paulo. The herbaria at these institutions, as well as those of the
Museu Goeldi and Instituto Agrondmico do Norte at Belém, were
found to be rich in specimens of the Bromeliaceae. A study of this
material added over 1,000 citations to the manuscript of the Brazilian
Bromeliaceae now in preparation, and contributed toward a better
definition of the species and knowledge of their distribution.

At the opening of the year, Dr. E. H. Walker was engaged in field
work in the Ryukyu Islands under the auspices of the Pacific Science
Board, which is conducting a scientific investigation of these islands
for the Department of the Army. He made extensive botanical collec-
tions on the southern Ryukyus, in Japan, and on Okinawa. In
addition to enriching the national collections, his trip provided con-
tacts that will lead to the receipt of further collections. It also laid
the groundwork for the establishment of a herbarium at the Uni-
versity of the Ryukyus and permitted the preparation of a report on
the plants and vegetation of Okinawa. After his return on Sep-
tember 30, he devoted much time to arranging his collections, writing
a paper on his trip, and continuing his documentation of a manuscript
flora of Okinawa prepared by resident botanists. He also engaged
in preparing a booklet on the important trees of the Ryukyu Islands.
While in Japan, he examined herbarium material in Tokyo and Kyoto
for the furtherance of his study of Japanese Myrsinaceae. To the
Natural History Society of Thailand he submitted for publication
a contribution toward a bibliography of Thai botany.

EK. C. Leonard continued his studies of the family Acanthaceae,
submitting for publication the second part of his comprehensive
revision of the Colombian species; the third and last part of this
project is far advanced, the final groups of the family now being
under study. A monotypic new genus of the family from Costa Rica
was described and the manuscript submitted for publication. He
also completed and published jointly with Dr. H. A. Allard a paper
discussing the floristics of the Canaan and Stony River Valleys of
West Virginia.

Velva E. Rudd’s revision of the American species of the genus
Aeschynomene is aproaching completion, the entire manuscript being
ready for final consideration after maps and other figures are pre-
pared.

E. P. Killip, research associate, spent several months on the Florida
Keys continuing his intensive collecting for the Museum and his

32 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

special study of the flora of Big Pine Key. Subsequently he traveled
to the west coast before returning to Washington, making small col-
lections at selected localities.

Grasses.—In October and November, Jason R. Swallen spent several
weeks collecting in Honduras, principally in the Departments of
Morazin and El] Paraiso. Through the courtesy of the director,
Dr. Wilson Popenoe, and Dr. Louis O. Williams, he was the guest
of the Escuela Agricola Panamericana, Teguicigalpa, Honduras,
founded and operated by the United Fruit Company. His field
studies of grasses in such diverse habitats as pine forests, open grass-
lands, and cloud forests, will help in classifying critical groups,
especially Panicum, and in facilitating the identification of rather
large lots of grasses collected in the region in recent years and sent to
the National Museum for study. He completed work on several of
the larger and more complex genera for his manuscript on the Gram-
ineae for the flora of Guatemala, which is being published by the
Chicago Natural History Museum. Two of his papers on the Gram-
ineae were published, one in the “Flora of the Charleston Mountains”
by Ira W. Clokey, and the other in the “Arizona Flora” by T. H.
Kearney and R. H. Peebles.

Mrs. Agnes Chase, research associate, spent considerable time re-
vising the herbarium collections of Digztaria in the light of the recent
monograph of the genus by Dr. J. Th. Henrard. She also continued
special studies on various genera of South American grasses. Her
paper describing new species of Thrasya and Ichnanthus from Ven-
ezuela was published.

Ferns.—The principal research of C. V. Morton has been on the
ferns of Honduras and Guatemala, countries for which he has been
preparing ferns floras in cooperation with the Escuela Agricola Pan-
americana and the Chicago Natural History Museum. His account
of the ferns of Arizona, appearing in the “Arizona Flora,” was pub-
lished during the year, as were three other short papers, one describ-
ing a new species of Danaea, one recording a species of fern new to
the United States, and one making new combinations in the genera
Equisetum and Pellaea. He also read proof on his account of the
ferns and fern allies of the northeastern United States and Canada,
scheduled for publication in the coming year.

Cry ptogams.—Paul S. Conger continued his studies of the diatoms
of Chesapeake Bay and his revisional work on Rhizosolenia eriensis
and allied forms.

Research by visiting investigators.—Two investigators who have
spent a year or more studying in the National Herbarium have com-
pleted their work: Dr. Ramon Ferreyra, of the University of San
Marcos, Lima, Peri, who has returned to Pert; and Dr. Hui-Lin Li,

ANNUAL REPORT-—BOTANY 33

of National Taiwan University, Taipeh, Taiwan, China. Dr. Jesis
M. Idrobo, of the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Bogota, Colombia,
is continuing his studies of the flora of Colombia. ‘There were 68
botanists who made use of the collections of the National Herbarium
in connection with their research projects, in addition to over 700
persons who visited the department briefly, usually seeking informa-
tion of various kinds. Mycological specialists have made continued
use of the Lloyd Herbarium and other units of the fungus collections
which are maintained in cooperation with the Bureau of Plant Indus-
try, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering at Beltsville, Md. In par-
ticular, studies have been made in the Polyporaceae and Xylariaceae,
families which include many wood-rotting forms of economic impor-
tance. The collections have been consulted frequently by members
of the stafis of other Government agencies, particularly of the Bureau
of Plant Industry, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering, the Forest
Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Geological Survey.

Department of Geology

(W. F. Fosuac, Head Curator)

The increase of the geologic collections has again been very satis-
factory, largely as a result of an effective program of field work and
the acquisition of desirable material through gifts of valuable col-
lections of type and described specimens. The increase in the num-
ber of visitors interested in the study of collections, and the wide
variety of appeals for material for study reflect the importance of the
extensive collections as a reservoir of potential scientific information.

In addition to the increase in the purely scientific value of the col-
lections, the exhibition series, particularly the minerals and gems,
continue to show a marked improvement in quality. Changes in
both the vertebrate and mineral exhibition halls have greatly
improved the effectiveness of the exhibits.

The scientific achievement of the staff has shown satisfactory ad-
vancement, and several important projects are now nearing
completion.

ACCESSIONS

Dr. Stuart H. Perry continued his interest in the meteorite collec-
tion by donating five meteorites, including the following three new to
our collections: Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio; Loreta, Baja
California, México; and Keen Mountain, Buchanan County, Va.

Invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany.—Many important
accessions came to this division through gifts, exchanges, transfer
from other government agencies, or as collections made in the field
by members of the staff. The gifts brought in 19,716 specimens, the
transfers totaled 253,607 specimens, the exchanges aggregated 4,487

specimens of Ozarkian and Canadian cephalopods described by A. K.
Miller, the late Dr. E. O. Ulrich and other collaborators.

Vertebrate paleontology.—Of considerable scientific interest in
vertebrate paleontology is the collection of about 270 specimens of
small mammals secured by Dr. C. L. Gazin, under a grant from the
Walcott fund, from various lower Eocene and lower Oligocene de-
posits of western Wyoming.

Mention should also be made of four small collections of fossil verte-
brate remains transferred to the National Museum from the Smith-
sonian River Basin Surveys, made by Dr. T. E. White from various
localities in North and South Dakota, Texas, and Montana. These
finds include a Cretaceous mosasaur and a Paleocene pantolambdid
from the Dakotas, and a representative collection of Oligocene and
Miocene mammalian materials from the Canyon Ferry Reservoir area
in Montana.

New acquisitions of lower vertebrate fossils include the partial
skull of one of the rare marine crocodiles, purchased through the
Walcott fund, and a small collection of well-preserved fish remains
from the Gondwanic rocks of the Parané Basin of Brazil, transferred

ANNUAL REPORT—GEOLOGY of

by the U. S. Geological Survey. A noteworthy gift by Mrs. R. Lee
Collins from the materials collected by her late husband included the
type of the Cretaceous turtle Zoxochelys weeksi; remains of a Miocene
sailfish, Acanthocybium solandri; and jaws of a Pleistocene bear,
Euarctos sp.

EXHIBITION

The renovation of the mineral hall, begun during the previous year,
was completed. Five cases of special exhibits, one each for calcite,
fluorite, silicates, and carbonates; one for molybdates, sulfates, and
borates; and a sixth relating to the geography of minerals, were
installed. A special display entitled “What is a Mineral?” was also
installed at the entrance to the mineral hall to introduce the exhibits.
In it a mineral is defined and some of the principles of mineral and
crystal formation are illustrated by large and striking specimens. The
Dr. James Douglas collection of azurite and malachite from the famous
mines of Bisbee, Ariz., was moved to a new case, more effectively
supplementing the general collections.

For the hall of vertebrate paleontology, drawings and layout for
two new-type cases were completed for exhibits depicting the “Nature
of Fossils” and the “Kinds of Vertebrate Fossils,” and diorama panels
for one of these cases were prepared. Also, extensive repairs were
made to the popular papier maché model of the stegosaurian dinosaur,
the interior framework of which was beginning to collapse.

CARE OF COLLECTIONS

The majority of the collections in the division of mineralogy are
in good condition, and the progress of routine care has not slackened.
The project of designating a specimen of each mineral species by a dis-
tinctive mark as a standard of that species, to be kept inviolate, has
been continued. In the lapidary shop, 62 meteorites were cut, polished,
and etched; 367 rocks, ores, and minerals were cut and polished; 128
thin sections were prepared; and 156 plaster bases for exhibition speci-
mens were Cast.

In invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany type specimens have
been segregated from all collections in the immediate care of the divi-
sion, except for the brachiopods, which have been awaiting accumula-
tion of sufficient drawers to house them. The gastropod, pteropod,
cephalopod, and ostracod type collections have been checked for miss-
ing specimens, and are now in good condition; the types in the Pale-
ozoic part of the paleobotanical collections are being segregated as
time permits; and preparation of a finding card catalog of the strati-
graphic collections was started. Associate Curator A. R. Loeblich, Jr.,

38 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

has integrated nearly all of the Cushman collection of Foraminifera
with the national collection, and all slides are now stored in flat-file
steel cabinets. Much progress has been made in covering slides with
full-length glass cover slips and aluminum holders, and in remounting
many hundreds of slides, including types, that were in poor condition.
This important collection is now completely available to researchers
in this field.

In vertebrate paleontology attention has been focused on the lower
Tertiary, or Paleocene and Eocene, collections, and during the past
year large collections from Gray Bull lower Eocene of the Big Horn
Basin and Knight lower Eocene of the Green River Basin have been
identified, cataloged, and arranged in the general study series. Asso-
ciate Curator D. H. Dunkle completed the rearrangement necessitated
by the segregation of type specimens from the collections, and made
progress on documenting the older fish collections. He finished cata-
loging the late Paleozoic ray-finned fishes, identified and labeled the
Eocene teleostean genera Lrismatopterus, Amphiplaga, Asineops, and
Trichophanes, currently under study, and commenced sorting on an
ordinal basis the undistributed portion of the large Springer collec-
tion of late Paleozoic sharks. The laboratory of vertebrate pale-
ontology continued to devote much of its time to the preparation of
the material of the giant ground sloth A/egatherium, secured by field
parties in Panama in early 1950 and early 1951.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Mineralogy and petrology.—The study of the development of
Paricutin Volcano, México, was submitted by Head Curator W. F.
Foshag to the U. S. Geological Survey for publication. The study of
Mesoamerican jade objects in the collections in Guatemala, begun
under a cooperative project of the Instituto de Antropologia e His-
toria, Guatemala, and the Smithsonian Institution has been con-
tinued. Chemical analyses show that in spite of a wide range of
color and optical properties, the mineralogical nature of the jade is
quite uniform. A byproduct of the study of the archeological jades
of Guatemala is a sutdy of the natural system jadeite-diopside being
carried out by Dr. Foshag, Associate Curator G. S. Switzer, and
Joseph Fahey. New analyses and new optical data will add much to
this important group of minerals. Drs. Foshag and Switzer con-
tinued their annual summary of the diamond industry, publishing
the results for the year 1950 and accumulating the statistics for 1951.

Dr. Switzer continued his comprehensive study of the uranium
minerals, a project being carried out for the U.S. Geological Survey at
the Museum because of the excellent reference collections at hand.

ANNUAL REPORT—GEOLOGY 39

He completed a reinvestigation of the obscure radioactive mineral
guadarramite, which was shown to be ilmenite, and a crystallographic
study of some complex fluorite crystals from México, and continued
work on several other projects, including a reexamination of the rare
and complex mercury mineral mosesite. He added 250 X-ray powder
diffraction patterns of minerals to the reference catalog of these
photographs. In order that these patterns be entirely reliable, the
nature of the specimen must be authenticated, a determination that
frequently involves some detailed investigation.

Associate Curator Henderson continued his investigations of the
composition and classification of iron meteorites. Reexaminations
were made of the following irons: Pittsburgh, Pa.; Breece, N. Mex.;
Ballinger, Tex.; Yenberrie, Australia; Morita, México; Tombigbee,
Ala.; Soroti, Uganda; and Cincinnati, Ohio. A study was also com-
pleted of the relationships and distribution of cohenite inclusions in
iron meteorites.

Dr. Stuart H. Perry, associate in mineralogy, is engaged in pre-
paring his seventh series of photomicrographs of iron meteorites.

Dr. John P. Marble, associate in mineralogy, continued his inves-
tigations on the absolute measurement of geologic time. As chair-
man of the Committee on the Measurement of Geological Time, of the
National Research Council, he prepared the annual report of the
committee, which includes, as usual, his comprehensive annual an-
notated bibliography of articles referring to this subject. He sub-
mitted to the National Research Council his report to the Commis-
sion on Atomic Weights, International Union of Chemistry, entitled
“Natural Variations in Isotopic Ratios of the Chemical Elements.”

Frank L. Hess, associate in mineralogy, continued his investiga-
tions of the origin of igneous nodules of the type commonly called
“thunder eggs.”

Invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany.—Curator G. A.
Cooper completed the generic and specific description for his study
of Chazyan and related brachiopods. A total of 268 plates was pre-
pared to illustrate this report, which treats about 900 species and more
than 150 genera. He completed the description of the Permian
brachiopods collected from the vicinity of El Antimonio in Sonora,
México, a work that will include a section on the fusulinids by Dr. C. O.
Dunbar of Yale University, and another on the gastropods by Dr.
J. B. Knight, and he also completed a short paper describing Cam-
brian and lower Ordovician silicified brachiopods from the Arbuckle
limestone of Oklahoma. In the latter half of October, Dr. Cooper
joined Dr. B. N. Cooper of Virginia Polytechnic Institute in a study
of sections in the Southern Appalachians, an expedition that termi-
nated Curator Cooper’s field work on the Chazyan and related brachi-

40 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

opods. This party was particularly interested in determining facies
relationships of the nonmarine Ordovician beds on the east side of the
Appalachian Valley to the marine beds on the west side. In May Dr.
Cooper and Prof. H. B. Whittington of Harvard University spent
4. days in the vicinity of Staunton, Va., searching for localities that
might yield good silicified trilobite material.

During the year Associate Curator A. R. Loeblich, Jr., spent much
of his research time in generic revisions. Nine papers, involving a
revision of 17 genera were prepared, in part with Helen Tappan
Loeblich, and submitted for publication in various journals. In addi-
tion, his studies of the Foraminifera of the Recent Arctic and of the
American lower Cretaceous are nearing completion. In August he
collected foraminiferal samples from uppermost lower Cretaceous
and basal upper Cretaceous beds in northern Texas, and in November,
with Associate Curator Nicol, he collected foraminiferal samples and
mollusks from the Miocene (St. Mary’s) formation in eastern Virginia.

Associate Curator A. L. Bowsher completed his field work for the
study of Mississippian bioherms and stratigraphy of the Mississippian
rocks of New Mexico, and is bringing to completion his paper on
actinocrinitid crinoids. Accompanied by Museum Aid William T.
Allen, he collected from Mississippian, Pennsylvanian, and Permian
strata in the Sacramento Mountains, N. Mex. During this trip the
party assisted members of the New Mexico Bureau of Mines. In late
October, with Dr. Edwin Kirk of the U. S. Geological Survey, he
spent about 10 days in Alabama and Tennessee collecting Mississip-
pian crinoids. In April, with Museum Aid W. T. Allen, he collected
Mississippian and Pennsylvanian fossils in northern Ohio and western
Pennsylvania. This trip was made to obtain material for comparison
with New Mexico faunas.

Associate Curator David Nicol published one paper on pelecypod
systematics and taxonomy and has five others in press. He is now
studying the systematic position of the pelecypod genus Pliocardia
Woodring with the idea of perfecting its classification.

Research Associate J. Brookes Knight has in press his study of
gastropod reclassification and is devoting himself to a study of the
Permian snails and to supervising the work of three graduate students
who are helping him to prepare the chapter on Paleozoic gastropods
for the “Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology.”

Associate in Paleontology R. S. Bassler expects soon to submit his
large manuscript on the Bryozoa to the committee for the Treatise.

Vertebrate paleontology.—In a field trip during the summer of
1951, Curator C. L. Gazin continued his investigation of and made
further collections from the lower Eocene Knight formation in the
Green River and Bridger Basins of southwestern Wyoming and se-

ANNUAL REPORT—GEOLOGY Al

cured collections from lower Oligocene deposits in the Wind River
Basin. The collections from the Knight lower Eocene, added to those
of the seasons of 1941, 1948, and 1949, were the basis for a detailed
study of the Knight faunas he completed during the year. Included
in the study, in addition to the large collection made for the Smith-
sonian Institution, were materials in the American Museum and at
Princeton University from this formation. The report on this investi-
gation, which has been submitted for publication shows that there are
four faunal horizons for fossil Mammalia in the original Wasatch, two
in the Knight proper, one in Knight beds interfingering with Green
River, and one in the Almy formation underlying the Knight.

Associate Curator D. H. Dunkle continued two long-range projects ;
a study of the Eocene Green River shale fauna, undertaken in col-
laboration with Dr. Bobb Schaeffer of The American Museum of Nat-
ural History, and the problems of the late Mesozoic origins of the tele-
ostean orders of fishes. The first involves morphological study of each
of the 36 specific members of the fauna, their taxonomic revision, re-
view of geographic and geologic distributions, and an ecological analy-
sis. The fauna is ideal for monographing on broad objective and
subjective bases because large series of complete and beautifully pre-
served specimens are available. Current work is centered on the genus
Asineops, the seventh of 15 genera to receive preliminary study. The
second project has as its objective the determination of the phyletic
lines connecting the late Mesozoic holostean ray-finned fishes with the
descendent Tertiary and Recent Teleostei. To date a three-dimen-
sional skull of the primitive teleost Leptolepis has been serially
sectioned by the “peel method” and a wax reconstruction is in process
of completion. At the present time he is engaged in developing a tech-
nique for etching suitable materials in acetic acid. In addition, he
completed brief studies on some fragmentary remains of the arthro-
diran fish Dinichthys terrelli Newberry, from the central] mineral re-
gion of Texas, and on new Jurassic occurrences of fishes in México, and
he made excellent progress on manuscripts dealing with new records of
Permo-carboniferous fishes in Brazil and with the morphology of the
Devonian arthrodire Dinicthys herzeri Newberry. During October
1951, he enjoyed a brief opportunity to examine reported Mexican oc-
currences of Cretaceous fishes at Xilitla, San Luis Potosi, and Tlaxi-
aco, Oaxaca, and to study collections at the Instituto de Geologia in
México, D. F.

Research by visiting investigators.—Dr. Teng-Chien Yen, a prin-
cipal investigator for the Office of Naval Research, continued his
studies of nonmarine fossil mollusca of Mesozoic and Tertiary age,
with emphasis on their paleoecological environment, from the Rocky
Mountain region.

42 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

As in past years, many investigators from this country and else-
where were aided by the staff or used the Museum collections. Dr.
T. W. Amsden, Johns Hopkins University, continued his study of
Silurian (St. Clair) brachiopods from Arkansas. Dr. Franco Rasetti
of the same university continued his studies of Cambrian trilobites and
is a frequent visitor to the Museum laboratories. Dr. Norman D.
Newell, American Museum of National History, is monographing
a large collection of Permian pelecypods in the National Museum.
Dr. John Hoskins, University of Cincinnati, has been loaned a large
collection of fossil wood from the lower Mississippian rocks of Ken-
tucky. Dr. Harry B. Whittington, Harvard University, is preparing
a monograph on the silicified Ordovician trilobites collected by Dr.
G. A. Cooper near Strasburg, Va. Dr. Erwin Stumm, University of
Michigan, is preparing a monograph on Devonian trilobites of Michi-
gan partly on National Museum materials. Dr. H. V. Anderson, Lou-
isiana State University, worked in Foraminifera at the Museum.
J. B. McLean, Jr., Alexandria, Va., visits the Museum to study collec-
tions and confer with the scientists. Dr. Ivar Hessland from Sweden
spent several days on two occasions at the Museum studying Paleozoic
ostracods.

Department of Engineering
and Industries

(Frank A. Taytor, Head Curator)

Improvement of exhibits, increases in the help given to students
and inquirers, advances in the care and organization of collections,
and solid progress in the study programs marked the year. The
special exhibits of textiles, the established monthly exhibits in photog-
raphy and the graphic arts, the Photography-in-Science competition,
and the exhibits arranged for the meeting of the Early American
Industries Association, afforded a full schedule of special events.

Edward C. Kendall, a specialist in the history of agriculture and
industry, was appointed associate curator in charge of the sections of
manutactures and agricultural industries. William E. Bridges, mu-
seum aide, entered military service.

ACCESSIONS

Crafts and industries.—Two fine examples of labor-saving ma-
chines that served the farmer before the general mechanization of
farms were received. From Arden Wilson came a crank-operated
fanning mill for separating chaff from grain and hulls from beans,
used in West Virginia about 75 years ago; and from Warren Ham-
mond, a 2-row, hand, corn planter dated about 1860. To the collec-
tion of modern fabrics were added examples of wool-back fabrics,
from William Skinner & Sons, and fabrics illustrating fiber blending
for better fabric performance, from Goodall-Sanford, Inc. A beau-
tiful round tablecloth nearly 11 feet in diameter, made of linen
eyelet lace and hand-made filet medallions, was received from the
estate of Lena L. Jones. Edna Plummer presented 3 examples of
hand-netted lace, and Mrs. Helen F. McMickle gave 8 pieces of Ameri-
can embroidery and drawn work of the eighteenth and nineteenth cen-
turies. The section of wood technology received from the United
States Forest Products Laboratory a collection of 17 woods of the
United States and México, authenticated by herbarium material, and
§ new wood products resulting from laboratory research. Joseph
L. Stearns presented 25 authentic woods of Indo-China.

Engineering.—An oil engine made before 1878 by George B.
Brayton, American inventor and engine manufacturer, was presented
by Brown University at the suggestion of Professor Emeritus Wil-
liam H. Kenerson. The engine, purchased of Brayton by the Uni-
versity about 1878 to drive an arc-light dynamo, is a 1-cylinder,

43

44 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

kerosene-burning beam engine, weighing about 1,500 pounds. It
developed 214 horsepower at maximum performance. Brayton man-
ufactured gas and oil engines for sale, and experimented with
the use of them for the propulsion of boats and a street car. Stephen
C. Van Fleet presented a collection of early radio apparatus includ-
ing a complete 10-watt transmitter of 1922-23, a Jenkins Radio-
visor of 1930, and a See-All television scanner. Eight scale models
of early American automobiles were presented by A. J. Koveleski,
bringing the total of models received from him to 16. A Cleveland
motorcycle of 1918 was received from Russell and Richard Fiedler.
Robert B. Applebee and Ralph E. Cropley continued to send additions
to the collection of illustrations and notes on watercraft.

Graphic arts.—A series of stones and prints to illustrate the making
of a lithograph, made by the artist Russell T. Limbach at the request
of the National Museum, was acquired for use in the exhibited col-
lections. Several notable prints were purchased through the Dahl-
green fund. Included are two niello prints of the fifteenth century,
“Christ on the Cross” and “Portrait of a Pope.” Goldsmiths, to ob-
serve the progress of their work in engraving on gold or silver, made
these niello prints by filling the engraved designs with a black
substance from which an impression on paper could be obtained by
rubbing. These prints foreshadow line engraving and are of historical
interest in the development of the graphic arts. The Dahlgreen
fund purchase includes “Mountain Landscape,” a wood cut by Ernst L.
Kirchner; “Three Holy Kings,” a wood cut by Karl Schmitt-Rottluf;
and “Tightrope Walker,” a dry-point by Max Beckmann. These
artists were outstanding exponents of German Expressionism, an im-
portant influence in printmaking after World War I. Received from
Dr. Lowrain McCrea was his original cystoscope camera. Dr. Doris
M. Cochran presented a field photographer’s outfit of the nineteenth
century, including among its 52 pieces a Prosch shutter, a candle-
burning safe light, and a dryplate camera. Mrs. Ella K. Ferguson,
granddaughter of John R. Schorb, reputed to have been the first
American commercial photographer, presented 5 tintypes, 3 daguerreo-
types, 2 ambrotypes, 3 prints, and a glass plate negative, all Schorb’s
work.

Additions to the print collections include “Awakening,” an engray-
ing by Gabor Peterdi, and “Furnace,” a wood engraving by Charles
Quest, both purchased through the Dahlgreen fund, and “Winter,”
a lithograph by Russell T. Limbach, the gift of the artist. Notable
gifts to the photographic print collection include 15 prints by Wood
Whitesell and 14 prints by A. Aubrey Bodine, including his “Oyster
Dredging During Squall,” for which he received international recogni-
tion.

Medicine and public health.—Dr. Arthur O. Morton presented a
keratometer or ophthalmometer, purchased in 1907, which he believes

ANNUAL REPORT—ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIES 45

is one of the oldest instruments of its kind used in the United States.
Made by Pfister and Streit, Bern, Switzerland, it is designed to meas-
ure the curve of the cornea of the eye by measuring the amount of
corneal astigmatism.

EXHIBITION

A major objective of the exhibition program of the department of
engineering and industries is to reduce the number of items on display,
so that it will be possible to highlight the more significant ones and to
emphasize the contribution that each represents. Significant ad-
vances have been made by all divisions in this respect.

Crafts and industries.—Spinning wheels for flax and wool, with
accessories for the preparation of the fibers used, were reexhibited
in renovated cases against a background of colorful old textiles, creat-
ing what is in effect a new exhibit. Other new exhibits include one
showing fiber blending for improved fabric performance and the
method of weaving wool-back fabrics, and another of a series of
original early plows presenting a graphic chronology of American
plows. Also arranged were such special exhibits as “Two Hundred
Years of Textile Design,” a loan from the Scalamandré Museum of
Textiles; a collection of authentic eighteenth- and nineteenth-century
printed fabrics, all American subject designs, lent by Elinor Merrell;
and “Victorian Slumber Throw,” a group of silk crazy-patch quilts
from the Museum collection. A display of early American baskets
and one on early American textile design were prepared in connection
with the fall meeting of the Early American Industries Association.
These two are now permanent exhibits.

Engineering.—The models and accessories in the cases lining the
walls of the automobile and transportation halls were reexhibited in
renovated cases. By painting the interiors a lively color, replacing
wooden shelves with glass, and installing more readable labels a con-
siderable improvement was made in the over-all appearance of these
cases, which form the background for the large original automobiles,
locomotives, and carriages standing in the halls. In the communica-
tions gallery an interesting grouping was achieved with a commer-
cially licensed radio station of 1922 and a recently received amateur
station of the same date, while eight other cases were renovated and
provided with individual lighting. A new exhibit of early phono-
graphs concisely states the contributions of Edison, Bell and Tainter,
and Berliner, and notes the early use of the phonograph as a dictating
machine. Single-case exhibits, one of American combination locks
and another of development models of old wood-screw-making ma-
chines, were prepared for the annual meeting of the Early American
Industries Association, and were later placed in the tool gallery.

Graphic arts.—The methods and techniques of lithography were
displayed in a new exhibit based on material prepared by Russell T.

225236—52 4

46 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

Limbach and a start was made on a companion exhibit tracing the
history of this art. Several other cases were temporarily reworked
in the same gallery. The new special exhibits gallery of the section
of photography, completed this year, has proved quite successful as
a small gallery for the exhibition of photographic prints, and offers
hope for the effective use of otherwise unpromising space in the old
building. Contributions of Niepce, Daguerre, and Talbot to the de-
velopment of photography are shown in the first unit of the revision
of the exhibits devoted to the history of photography. A special ex-
hibit on photogrammetry was prepared for the annual convention of
the American Society of Photogrammetry.

CARE OF COLLECTIONS

About 9,000 samples of woods were cut down in size, die-stamped,
and redistributed in the process of reducing the bulk of the woods
collection, and improving the ease of using it while retaining all of
the scientific value of the collection. About 200 mats were made for
prints in the graphic arts collections, and the storage space and equip-
ment in the office area was reorganized and improved. Many objects
in the exhibited collections and others acquired or brought from stor-
age were cleaned, repaired, and restored. A commercial mildew in-
hibitor used in house paint appears to be controlling mildew and
fungus in stored collections. It is mixed with the preservative oils
applied to leather and wood parts.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Crafts and industries.—William N. Watkins, curator and wood
anatomist, assisted the staff of Colonial Williamsburg in an investi-
gation of the origins of early furniture pieces through study of the
woods of which they are made. The study of the secondary woods of
furniture appears likely to become an important technique in furniture
authentication, and promises to create a new and continuing demand
upon wood anatomists for identifications. Mr. Watkins visited the
U.S. Forest Products Laboratory to observe the use of machine records
equipment in the identification of woods and to arrange exchanges of
material for the woods collections.

Assistant Curator Grace L. Rogers continued her work on the history
of the sewing machine and made a number of extended investigations
into textile history and practices, including those needed to produce
the revised exhibit of spinning wheels and the exhibit, “Victorian
Slumber Throw.”

Associate Curator Edward C. Kendall made good progress on his
investigation of the evolution of American types of plows from
early European ones, a subject of which little apparently is known.
Mr. Kendall has also succeeded in discovering the source of a collec-
tion of nearly 400 plow models which came to the Museum in 1910
from the Department of the Interior. Through his efforts it was
learned that at least several such collections, one of which is now at
Cornell University, had been constructed at the Landwirtschaftliche
Hochschule Hohenheim, in Germany, in the 1860’s, and that appar-
ently they were made under the supervision of Prof. Ludwig Rau,
who in 1881 published a catalog of such a collection. Oddly enough
a copy of this catalog was eventually found in the library of the Bu-
reau of American Ethnology among some books bequeathed to the

48 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

Smithsonian Institution in 1887 by Charles Rau, onetime curator of
archeology in the U. S. National Museum.

Engineering.—Associate Curator Kenneth M. Perry continued his
studies leading to the publication of a descriptive catalog of the elec-
trical meters in the collections.

Associate Curator S. H. Oliver examined the large collection of
letters, clippings, catalogs, and illustrations relating to the history of
transportation and engineering left to the Institution 48 years ago
by J. Elfreth Watkins, onetime curator of transportation. The ma-
terial was sorted, evaluated, and distributed to reference files or to
interested sections of the Institution. During a vacation trip to Eu-
rope he studied techniques of preserving and exhibiting engineering
relics in the following museums: Deutsches Museum, Miinchen; auto-
motive museum of the Daimler-Benz Aktiengesellschaft, Stuttgart;
Musée de la Voiture, Compiégne; Musée Royal de l’Armée, Bruxelles;
and The Science Museum, London.

Graphic arts.—Curator Jacob Kainen continued the preparation of
his history of all photomechanical methods of printing pictures, such
as letterpress halftone, photogravure, photolithography and collotype,
a study that will include a descriptive catalog of the collections.
His preliminary study of the halftone screen, published last year,
was revised and enlarged for reprinting.

Associate Curator Alexander J. Wedderburn progressed in his
study of the history of the camera, visiting the George Eastman
House, Inc., and the Museum of Modern Art for aid in this work.
A draft of the first section, “The Camera Obscura, 300 B. C.-1802,”
was completed.

Research by visiting investigators.—In all, the staff received about
1,600 visitors to the offices, about 2,500 letters, and about 3,000 tele-
phone calls, seeking information and identifications. More than
1,800 photographs were sold, lent, or given to publishers, writers,
collectors, schools, museums, and historical societies. In providing
this service, the staff assisted inquirers in the use of the files, in select-
ing and ordering prints, and in the providing of correct titles. Among
the many individuals who made important use of these facilities
were Howard I. Chapelle, whose “American Small Sailing Craft,”
recently published by W. W. Norton and Company, Inc., is based in
part upon his continuing study over a very long period of the unique
group of contemporary models of small craft in the watercraft col-
lection; Dr. Domingo Corro, chief of the wood section, Museo Argen-
tino Ciencias Naturales, Buenos Aires, who examined the wood col-
lections and discussed further study and cooperation; Helen Com-
stock, research editor of Antiques, and E. Milby Burton, director
of the Charleston Museum, who are investigating the secondary

ANNUAL REPORT—ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIES 49

woods used in colonial furniture, being particularly interested in
the range of species and separation of the woods; Daniel Tower,
recently appointed curator of the Old Slater Mill Museum, who
spent several days studying the textile collections and discussing
museum problems with Miss Rogers; Lady Tansley, of Grantchester,
Cambridge, England, who is sponsoring a needlework organization
in her country, and who spent two days studying quilts and other
early American needlework; Baron René de Kerchove, who dis-
cussed the preservation and eventual publication of Commandant L.
Audemard’s remarkable manuscript and colored drawings of Chinese
junks, placed in the Baron’s care; Mrs. Hope Easton, at the time
associate editor of Reader’s Digest, who spent several days examining
the collections and files for little-noticed chapters of the history of
invention; Harold W. Cramer, who continued to examine and restore
time and combination locks from the collection, afterward photo-
graphing them in operation for a motion-picture history of Amer-
ican locks; and Vernon Dameron, director of education of the Edison
Institute, who discussed with the staff the function of extension
services of technological and craft museums.

Department of History

(MENDEL L. PETERSON, Acting Head Curator)

The major activities of the past year have centered around the
modernization of all the exhibition halls and storage areas in which
the history collections are housed. ‘The first of these, the hall of naval
history, was opened in June and its favorable reception by visitors
to the Museum is indication of the need for further efforts in this
direction.

The division of naval history has expanded its activities with a pro-
gram of study of early shipwreck sites in the Florida Keys. This
research conducted by the curator, Mendel L. Peterson, promises to
produce valuable information on seventeenth- and eighteenth-century
ships and naval armament from hitherto untouched sources.

ACCESSIONS

Among the more than 7,000 specimens added to the collections
during the year, an outstanding item was a chest of drawers once
owned by Jonathan Edwards, New England scholar and theologian
(1703-1758). This chest, in fine condition and with all of the original
brasses, came as a gift from Miss Louise Taylor Andrews. The
transfer from the Department of the Navy of models of the Bon
Homme Richard, Frigate Constitution, Sloop Kearsarge, Cruiser
Olympia, Cruiser Brooklyn, Destroyer Manley, and Heavy Cruiser
Wichita make the collection of ship models exhibited in the hall of
naval history one of the finest in this country. Coming as a bequest
from General of the Army John J. Pershing were his saddles and
horse equipment. Also received was the General’s library of some
1,800 volumes, a gift from his son, Francis Warren Pershing. To the
numismatic collections were added 12 medals awarded to the Amer-
ican artist Edmund C. Tarbell (1862-1938), received as the gift of
his heirs. Transferred from the Treasury Department was the Rev-
erend Hugh Miller collection of 544 Oriental coins and 110 Korean
amulets, containing many pieces that have never been described.

The philatelic collections were increased by transfers from the
U. S. Post Office Department, and gifts from agencies of other
governments. Important gifts from individuals included dies used
(1853-1870) by George F. Nesbitt and Company in the production of
early United States envelopes, the gift of B. H. Homan, Jr., of
New York City. The philatelic library was increased by important

material received as gifts from the Essay-Proof Society, the Bureau
Issues Association, Scott Publications, Inc., the Collectors Club of
Washington, and Malcolm MacGregor.

EXHIBITION

As part of the department-wide program of exhibit improvement
carried on during the year, the interiors of the wall cases in the
costumes hal] were refinished, in preparation for the installation of a
renovated exhibition of American period costumes, and interior light-
ing was installed in the case in which the Bradford miniature house
(period 1900-1914) is displayed. The hall of naval history was com-
pleted with the installation of the collection of naval prints, paintings,
photographs, ship models, and related objects. It was formally dedi-
cated on June 19, 1952, at a special ceremony attended by high
officials of the Department of the Navy. This exhibition illustrates
the development of the United States Navy from its beginning to
the present day. Tentative plans were laid for a similar hall of
military history, to be set up in cooperation with the Department of
the Army. Installation of the Paul A. Straub collection of gold
coins continued. Work on the exhibit of orders and decorations was
completed, all of them having been cleaned, relabeled, and arranged
according to country and class. To the philatelic exhibits were added
displays of such materials of special interest as postage stamps used
in decorative art, processes of postage stamp production, “free” franks
of the Presidents and the widows of Presidents, and an exhibit of
models illustrating the carrying of the mails. During the year an
exhibit of ship cancellation covers and models of related ships was
installed.

CARE OF COLLECTIONS

The regular program of protection of specimens against insect, dust
and light damage continued. To protect the manuscripts of the
Adams-Clement collection, which are exhibited in cases exposed to
bright natural light, Associate Curator Margaret W. Brown selected
Libbey-Owens-Ford “golden plate glass,” which disperses the ultra-
violet rays that cause inks to fade. The necessary glass was graciously
given to the Museum by the manufacturer. Extensive cleaning and
repair of ship models and paintings exhibited in the hall of naval
history was accomplished as these specimens were installed. Tech-
niques for restoring and preserving objects recovered from sea water
were developed in connection with the marine exploration being car-
ried on in Florida. The process of cleaning and preserving silver
coins recommended in 1948 by Dr. William Bloom, of the U. S. Bu-

52 UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1952

reau of Standards is being used with marked success; none of the
specimens so cleaned and lacquered show any tendency to tarnish.

Specimens in the philatelic collections widely scattered among the
storage units have been brought together and collated in new stock
books by Assistant Curator Franklin R. Bruns, Jr. A complete set of
Scott specialty albums was donated by Gordon Harmer of Scott Pub-
lications, Inc.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Acting Head Curator Mendel L. Peterson continued his long-range
studies of the development of the United States vessel of war and the
evolution of the United States naval uniform, producing under the
latter project a paper, “The History of the Navy Cross,” scheduled
for publication in Zhe Numismatist for September 1952. His research
led to the identification of one of the shipwrecks investigated in 1951,
the British 44-gun Frigate Looe, which ran aground February 5, 1744.
Results of this investigation will be published early next year. He
also engaged in an extensive study of the early shipwreck sites in the
Florida Keys area under a grant from E. A. Link, of the Link Aviation
Corporation, who is personally participating in the field work. Two
projects directly related to this marine exploration in Florida were
initiated. The first involves the markings and decorations of muzzle
loading cannon, the barrels of which are often the most prominent
and important objects found on shipwreck sites and form a means of
determining the size of the vessel, its nationality, and period. During
the year Mr. Peterson investigated the cannon collections of the U. S.
Military Academy, the Mariners’ Museum, and the Naval Gun Factory.
This investigation will be continued by him in the collections and
archives of museums in London, Paris, Leyden, Madrid, Seville, and
Copenhagen. The second of these projects involves the restoration
and preservation of objects recovered from sea water, a subject of
which no adequate study appears to have been made in this country.
Objects of iron, particularly of cast iron, after being immersed in
sea water for prolonged periods often disintegrate upon drying out.
Asa result many objects of importance have been lost to the historian
after recovery. Laboratory experimentation on removal of sea salts
and reduction of oxidized layers has resulted in the development of a
routine which promises to be completely successful. Mr. Peterson also
continued his investigations of military small arms and of the uni-
forms and insignia of the U. S. Army.

Stuart M. Mosher, associate curator of numismatics, continued his
important project of reattributing and rearranging the 62,768 speci-
mens in the national numismatic collections.

ANNUAL REPORTS—HISTORY 53

Margaret W. Brown, associate curator of civil history, continued
her revision of the “Catalog of Washington Relics in the U. S. Na-
tional Museum,” and prepared a special study of the George Washing-
ton memorial medal that will be published during the coming year.
Her paper on the medals awarded to Carrie Chapman Catt was pub-
lished in The Numismatist. She read the final proofs of her book
“The Dresses of the First Ladies of the White House.” Data on the
Adams-Clement collection obtained by Miss Brown in a trip to the
Adams house at Quincy, Mass., will contribute to the value of the cata-
log to be prepared on this material.

Franklin R. Bruns, Jr., assistant curator of philately, published
seven articles and one book during the year. ‘Two other articles were
accepted for publication. In addition, he continued his research on a
number of subjects, including Liberian postal history, a catalog of the
National Museum philatelic collection, and a catalog of the Michel
collection. During the year he was appointed editor of the American
Philatelic Congress, and was made honorary member of the Bureau
Issues Association.

Research by visiting investigators.—Among outside investigators
working on the collections in the division of military history were Lt.
Col. Farber of Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio; Lt.
Col. Berkley R. Lewis, Ordnance Department, U. S. Army; and
John J. Styers, close-combat expert of the U. S. Marine Corps.
James C. Risk of the U. 8S. Department of State, an authority on
orders and decorations, under the supervision of the curator of numis-
matics completely reworked the museum collections of decorations, re-
attributing and documenting each piece. Mrs. EK. M. Nelson of the
American Home Economics Association worked on the civil history
collections. H.D. Mitchell, editor of the Costa Rican Philatelist, made
use of the National Philatelic collections and assisted in the reclassifi-
cation and remounting of the Costa Rica stamps and postal stationery.
Capt. Robert Scherer continued his work on the postal stationery of
Iceland.
