Introduction

A contract between the Government and the architectural firm of
McKim, Mead & White for the design of the Museum of History and
Technology building was signed March 16, 1956. A program of the
requirements for the building, based on many years of study by the
Smithsonian staff, was presented to the architects and the work of de-
signing a building which will effectively serve the Museum and the
public is progressing satisfactorily. Schedules of work anticipate
that working drawings will be sufficiently advanced to permit bids to
be asked for the construction of the building in the spring of 1957.
Legislation appropriating $33, 712,000 for the construction of the
building passed both the House and the Senate in the 2d Session of
the 84th Congress. This legislation (Public Law 573) was signed by
the President, June 13, 1956. The total appropriation for this build-
ing is $36 million.

Funds Allotted

From the funds appropriated by Congress to carry on the operations
of the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus during the fiscal year
1956, the sum of $1,390,426 was obligated by the United States
National Museum for the preservation, increase, and study of the Na-
tional collections of anthropological, zoological, botanical, and geologi-
cal materials, as well as materials illustrative of engineering, industry,
graphic arts, and history (this amount includes sums expended for the
program of exhibits modernization).

Exhibits

The program of modernizing the exhibition halls was continued in
1956 by a Congressional allotment of $411,500. Construction began
in the Power Hall in July 1955. Contracts were awarded for the
second American Indian Hall in April 1956, and for the Health Hall
in May 1956; construction was commenced in these halls in May and
June 1956, respectively. During March 1956 the new Bird Hall and
the east side of the North American Mammal Hall were completed and
opened for public inspection.

Anthropology

The current fiscal year saw 37 new exhibit units, miniature dio-
ramas, and life-size figure groups under development for the second
Indian hall. These units will portray the manner of living of Indian
tribes that formerly occupied the forested eastern third of the United
States; the nomadic hunting tribes of the Great Plains; the salmon-
fishing and totem-pole building Indians of the Northwest Pacific
coast; and the Arctic Eskimo of Greenland and Alaska. The overall
plans for this hall and the case layouts were prepared by Associate
Curator John C. Ewers, of the division of ethnology, in collaboration
with chief exhibits specialist John KE. Anglim and his efficient staff of
preparators.

A second large exhibit hall, under the immediate direction of Asso-
ciate Curator C. Malcolm Watkins, of the division of ethnology, has
for its theme “Everyday Life in Early America.” Following com-
pletion of construction work by the contractors, installation of 53
cases and 6 period rooms was commenced. <A noteworthy innovation
was the re-erecting within the hall of a complete 17th-century Massa-
chusetts Bay house. This involved careful reassembling of the hand-
hewn timber frame, wall sheathing, wall partitions, replastering with
oystershell, lime-and-hair plaster, and the exact reconstruction of the
old fireplaces with bricks laid in clay. This house is another generous
gift received from Mrs. Arthur M. Greenwood of Marlborough, Mass.,
a fellow of the Smithsonian Institution. Reinstallation of six period
rooms offered less difficulty. The paneled walls of the Reuben Bliss
parlor (1754) from Springfield, Mass., given to the museum in 1924
by Mrs. Gertrude D. Webster, have been reassembled as a period
room. Other period rooms include a late Georgian colonial parlor
from Sussex, Va.; an early 19th century schoolroom; and a farmhouse

bedroom of about 1800. The house and the several rooms were in-
stalled under the supervision of George H. Watson, of Sturbridge,
Mass.

Curator Waldo R. Wedel and Associate Curator Clifford Evans
of the division of archeology, in collaboration with John EK. Anglm
and R. O. Hower of the exhibits staff have been preparing plans for a
complete revision and modernization of the North American arche-
ology halls. These plans call for an introductory section that will
explain the objectives and methods of archeology, thus serving as a
link between North American archeology and the completed hall on
Latin American archeology. An adjacent section will show the com-
ing of man to America and the various early hunting complexes of
this hemisphere. In the largest section a series of alcoves will illus-
trate the archeological background of the diverse Indian cultures
as seen by the first European visitors to North America. Emphasis
will be placed on the relations of these diverse cultures to their vari-
ous natural environments, the ecology of North American arche-
ology. The last section will consist of a series of topical displays
such as aboriginal quarries and mining, trade materials, and tobacco
and smoking devices.

Zoology

At a joint meeting of the Audubon Society and tho staff of the
Smithsonian Institution, on March 22, 1956, Dr. Irston R. Barnes,
President of the Audubon Society of the District of Columbia, Mr.
Guy Emerson, Honorary President of the National Audubon So-
ciety, and Assistant Secretary John E. Graf of the Smithsonian
Institution, formally opened to the public the first of the natural
history halls to be modernized—the hall “Birds of the World.” The
10 habitat groups, some of which are reproduced in the accompany-
ing illustrations, show birds of special interest, either because of their
size, habits, or rarity. The alcove cases treat of special topics of bird
life, such as flight, migration, courtship, nests, eggs, young, feeding
habits, variation, and relation to man; while a series of panel cases
show the bird life of the principal areas of the world. Even the
ceiling is utilized; attached to it, seemingly suspended in the sky,
are lifelike paintings of birds in flight—a V-shaped flock of Canada
geese, selected types of hawks of eastern United States, and a group
of wide-ranging oceanic birds.

In the hall of North American mammals, four new habitat groups
(puma, wolf, pronghorn antelope, and white-tailed deer) were opened
to the public. Four previously completed groups (caribou, moose,
bighorn sheep, and mountain goat) were again shown to visitors after

being cut off by construction work for more than a year. New labels
were prepared for all the foregoing by Dr. David H. Johnson, curator
of mammals. Work progressed on four remaining groups (wapiti,
black bear, grizzly bear, and bison). Special efforts were made to
obtain recently killed specimens for the grizzly and black bear groups,
with the result that by the end of the year most of the required speci-
mens were on hand. The black bears were obtained through the
cooperation of the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Virginia
Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries; the grizzly bears were
provided by the National Park Service.

Extensive planning was done, chiefly by Dr. Henry W. Setzer, as-
sociate curator of mammals, on the two halls in which a general view
of mammals and mammalogy will be presented as “The World of
Mammals.”

The modernization of the public displays bearing on the fields of
interest of the other zoological divisions is in the planning stage. Dr.
Fenner A. Chace, Jr., and Frederick M. Bayer of the division of
marine invertebrates, Dr. Harald A. Rehder of the division of mol-
lusks, Dr. Leonard P. Schultz of the division of fishes, and Dr. D. H.
Johnson of the division of mammals have participated in a number
of discussions concerned with the projected hall of ocean life.

The exhibits staff of the department, with the exception of Joseph
D. Biggs, osteologist, was transferred to the Office of Exhibits, under
the direction of the assistant director, on September 14, 1955.

Geology

Marked progress in the planning of the exhibition halls was made
during this fiscal year. Plans were completed in the division of min-
eralogy and petrology for adding topical exhibits to the display of
minerals. An introductory series to define what a mineral is, and
to illustrate the origin, properties and mode of occurrence of minerals
will be prepared. A comprehensive exhibit of the major minerals
of the world will be arranged systematically, with displays of special
groups of minerals from selected world-famous localities. The gem
collection will be exhibited in a separate room along with outstanding
examples of uncut crystals of the more important gem minerals.

A revision of the present display of fossil plants and invertebrates
in the exhibition halls will be effected under the modernization pro-
gram. ‘The southeast hall will be divided into four sections. Intro-
ductory displays showing what fossils are, how they are preserved, the
geological time scale, and the role of fossils as geological time indi-
cators will be presented in one section. The fossil plant section will
include an exhibit to illustrate the formation of coal as well as a recon-
struction of a coal forest. In a third section will be shown exhibits

EXHIBITS 5

to depict the biology of fossil invertebrates and to display the im-
portant guide fossils to each geological period. The fourth section
will be devoted to historical geology and will contain reconstructed
assemblages from some of the periods in addition to exhibits showing
the major events in earth history. Construction is scheduled for 1958,
but preparation of the reproduced invertebrates for several of the
habitat reconstructions will commence this year. The detailed plans
for the room and the case layout were prepared by William D.
Crockett.

The general layout and preliminary plans for the halls which will
contain the lower vertebrates were completed and analyses of indi-
vidual case contents have been undertaken by Associate Curator
David H. Dunkle. Selection, segregation, and preparation of speci-
mens is now being actively carried on by the preparators in the
laboratory.

Under the supervision of Curator C. L. Gazin, detailed preliminary
drawings have been prepared by William D. Crockett for the display
of Tertiary mammals. The extinct mammals will be grouped fau-
nally, according to geological time, with accompanying murals to de-
pict habitats and the association of contemporary forms for the partic-
ular geologic period. The contents for each display unit have in
nearly all instances been determined and material for most of them
is at hand.

In the laboratory, restoration of the two giant ground sloth skele-
tons from Panama, which are to be shown in the Pleistocene sec-
tion, is nearly completed, as is the restoration work undertaken on
the skeletal remains to be returned to Panama for display in their
museum. Restoration by Franklin L. Pearce of certain limited mate-
rials of mastodon and toxodon for the Panama display will probably
be completed by the end of this fiscal year. Exhibits Preparators
G. D. Guadagni, John EK. Ott, and Theodore B. Ruhoff, under the
supervision of F. L. Pearce, have devoted at least 6 months to the
preparation of the Permian reptile specimens to be displayed in the
lower vertebrate hall.

A special exhibit of uranium minerals for the convention of the
American Federation of Mineralogical Societies at Washington, D. C.,
in September 1955 was prepared by Museum Geologist James H. Benn.

Dr. G. A. Cooper, curator of invertebrate paleontology and paleo-
botany, assembled an exhibit of silicified trilobites and brachiopods for
the National Academy of Sciences meeting in Washington in April
1956. |

Engineering and Industries

Planning of the exhibits which will be installed in the Museum of
History and Technology was commenced in all sections, and prelimi-

nary studies were completed for the halls of textiles, still photography,
hand graphic arts, chemistry, medicine, and watercraft.

Modernization of the Power Hall, delayed several months by a
shortage of steel, is now approaching completion. The renovation, by
the division of graphic arts, of the hall of photomechanical printing
has been completed with the addition of 26 new exhibits. Most
of the individual exhibits for the hall of health have been designed,
and construction work on this hall has commenced. Continuing
assistance by the exhibits staff has been involved in all of these
projects.

An extensive exhibit illustrating the history of iron and steel pro-
duction in the United States was opened on January 11, 1956. This
exhibit, the gift of the Bethlehem Steel Company, traces in ten units
the development of the industry from the discovery of iron ore in 1585
to the high alloy steels of today. Outstanding features of the exhibit
are a group of early artifacts from the excavations at Jamestown, Va.,
a section of the massive Hudson River chain swung into place near
West Point, N. Y., on April 16, 1778, to prevent the British from sail-
ing to the upper river, and examples of American iron and steel
work from the nineteenth century. The exhibit also contains the first
tilting converter built by William Kelly. It was used experimentally
in 1861 and 1862.

In the section of land transportation a program of renovation of
automobiles was undertaken which has, thus far, resulted in the refur-
bishing of four automobiles. The 1903 Cadillac, 1903 Oldsmobile, and
1913 Ford were reconditioned through the courtesy of the Cadillac,
Oldsmobile, and Ford companies. The 1901 Autocar was recondi-
tioned through the courtesy of the Autocar Division of the White
Motor Co.

The gallery exhibit of the section of scientific instruments now con-
sists of 12 units devoted to such fields as weights and measures, sur-
veying, and astrophysics. Each case is designed to tell the story of
some instrumental development.

Ten display cases of the division of medicine and public health, com-
pleted this fiscal year, portray “Early Dentists and Their Patients,”
“Evolution of the Drug Store,” “Physicians to the Presidents,” “Evo-
lution of Hospitals,” “Dr. Wiley’s Crusade,” “Fifty Years of Progress
in Food and Drug Protection,” “How Food and Drug Administration
Protects You Today,” “Medicine in the Kighteenth Century,” “Polio
Vaccine,” “Stethoscopes,” “Vitamins for Health, Growth and Life,”
and “Milestones in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Anemia.” The
latter two were furnished through the generosity of Merck and Co., and
Eli Lilly & Co., respectively. Important components of the other
exhibits mentioned were received from the American Dental Associa-
tion, American Institute of the History of Pharmacy, Armed Forces

Tools from the site of the original Jamestown, Va., settlement (1607-99)
illustrate the various uses of iron by the American colonists.

The section of textiles installed exhibits on the early 19th-century
weaver Peter Stauffer, on the small hand sewing machine, and on the
safety factor of after-dark pedestrian garments. The section of
manufactures was greatly improved by the installation of special
lighting fixtures, and the exhibits of typewriters, phonographs, and
calculating machines by repainting and lettering. It has been neces-
sary to close temporarily the hall of wood technology during the recon-
struction of the hall of health.

Among the special displays presented by various sections were an
exhibition to commemorate the birth of Benjamin Franklin, a series
of oil paintings depicting the history of pharmacy, lent by Parke,
Davis, & Co., and a selection of prize winning displays from the
Science Fairs held in the Washington, D. C., area.

west halls of the Arts and Industries building. Following the trans-
fer of these materials to the respective period rooms, the Women’s
Suffrage collection, which had been in storage since its removal from
the old costumes hall, was placed on exhibition in the west hall.
Charles G. Dorman, museum aide, arranged an effective display in
the large east wall case in the north hall of historic furniture and
contemporary decorative accessories.

During the year, substantial progress was made on the installa-
tion of the uniform and insignia exhibition on the west hall gallery.
Glass screens were installed over the fluorescent lights to protect the
materials from fading, printed labels were completed for many of
the specimens, and collections of insignia and items of personal equip-
ment were installed. The printing of new labels for the hall of naval
history is now about three quarters completed.

The United States section of the national postage stamp collec-
tion was completely remounted and placed in the floor frames for
public viewing during the past fiscal year. This was the first, and
possibly the most important, stage in the long-range project of re-
mounting the entire philatelic collection. Thus far this has involved
148 frames devoted entirely to United States postal issues, and 148
frames of United States revenue stamps. The United States section
is now as complete as possible up to June 30, 1956. Existing gaps
have been itemized, and efforts will be made to procure missing speci-
mens, though most are of great rarity. Starting alphabetically,
stamps of countries are being removed from the permanent exhibit
frames for careful classification and subsequent remounting. A por-
tion of this group of postal emissions has now been almost completely
classified, and the actual remounting is being undertaken. Special
displays of postal materials were made available to the Fifth Inter-
national Philatelic Exhibition, held in the new Coliseum in New
York, April 28 through May 6, 1956, and at the American Stamp
Dealer’s Association shows in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Four display cases were refinished in the coin hall, and the Greek
and Roman coins were rearranged. All the glass was remounted
in the coin cases with steel screws and special cement, giving greater
security to the collection. Four special exhibitions were prepared for
display in the museum buildings.

Accessions

During the Fiscal Year 1956

During the year 905,475 specimens were added to the national
collections and distributed among the six departments as shown on
the accompanying tabulation. This total includes 389,485 stamps
and 342,213 insects. The accessions for the most part were received
as gifts from individuals or as transfers from Government depart-
ments and agencies, and the most important of these are summarized
below. A full list of the donors is to be found on page 57.

10 U. 8. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

Anthropology

Among the outstanding accessions received in the division of eth-
nology is a collection of specimens from the environs of Nasir on the
Sabat River in South Sudan, East Africa, presented by the Rev. A.
MacRoy of the American Mission, Malakal, Upper Nile Province,
Sudan. This representative collection comes from an area hitherto
unrepresented in the national collections. An interesting object is a
leopard skin, a traditional court accessory, on which the witness sits
while giving evidence during a trial. A perjurer would be subject to
dire consequences if he gave false evidence while sitting on this leopard
skin. Rings perforating one corner indicate the number of occasions
the skin has been used by witnesses. Another item, significant of the
culture of the Nuer, is a fighting bracelet of brass, generally worn on
the right wrist by men and women alike.

While building a railroad in about 1910, Alexander J. Norris col-
lected objects used in the daily life of the Arawak Indians living in
the colony of Perené in the watershed of the Rio Perené (upper
Ucayali River), and from the Quechua Indians in the vicinity of
Cuzco, Peri. These ethnological specimens consist of hunting and
fishing weapons, woven ponchos, and various objects of personal adorn-
ment, presented by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C. Green. Another acquisi-
tion of note, a stylistically carved wooden treasure box “waka” origi-
nally presented to President Calvin Coolidge by the assembled chiefs
of the Arawa, was transferred from the Department of State. The
Arawa, a federation of Maori tribes living on the east coast of New
Zealand’s North Island, claim descent from members of the crew of
the legendary voyaging canoe Arawa that brought the Maori to New
Zealand. A notable collection of ceramic tiles given by KE. Stanley
Wires of Wellesley, Mass., ranges from early Moorish, Spanish, and
Dutch tiles to American types of recent manufacture. They are the
result of Mr. Wires’ lifetime interest in the history of tile manufac-
turing. Through the efforts of Mr. Wires, the tile collection was
further enhanced by a pair of ceramic tile panels with animal designs
in relief, sculptured by the late Frederick G. R. Roth and presented
by his widow.

Other donations to the ethnological collections include a total of 170
examples of Rookwood and other late 19th- and early 20th-century
pottery assembled by the late Dr. Edwin Kirk and presented by his
widow Mrs. Page Kirk; 17 examples of stoneware and pottery made
by country potters in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia
given by Clyde N. Fahrney, Waynesboro, Pa.; numerous glass and
ceramic specimens together with documented papers and account books
presented by Miss Madeleine Wilkinson.

The division of archeology received a collection of polished jadeite

ACCESSIONS 11

and other stone objects from the La Venta site in Tabasco, México, as
a loan from the Museo Nacional, México, through Dr. Philip Drucker,
formerly with the Bureau of American Ethnology. ‘These include
beads, celts, figurines, ear-spool parts, and other objects representing
the prehistoric Olmec culture of southeastern México. A group of
conch shell segments elaborately carved with anthropomorphic and
ceremonial art motifs in the style of the late prehistoric Southern
Cult, from the Spiro Mound, near Spiro, Okla., was received as a loan
from the Lightner Museum of Hobbies, St. Augustine, Fla. <A large
collection of pre-Spanish Peruvian artifacts consisting of carved
wood, metal, textiles, stone, and pottery, collected about 1910 in Perit
by Alexander J. Norris was presented as a gift by his daughter and
her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C. Green. A large collection of
archeological material excavated from prehistoric sites on Hokkaido
Island, Japan, was generously donated by Lt. Col. Howard MacCord,
who has added many unusual objects to the collections.

A series of pathological human bones from Calhoun and Jersey
Counties, Ill., was donated by Dr. P. F. Titterington of St. Louis,
Mo. Many of the examples of pathology are unusual and extremely
interesting from the standpoint of the history of disease. All the
material relates to a late prehistoric time period. A collection of 85
skulls received from the Wistar Institute of Philadelphia includes
material no longer obtainable and fills some gaps in the national collec-
tions. Outstanding in this series is a group of early Eskimo skeletons,
collected by the W. B. Van Valin-John Wanamaker Expedition, 1917-
19, at Point Barrow, Alaska, and represent the bearers of the well-
known “Old Bering Sea Ivory Culture.”

Zoology

One of the most valuable and largest single accessions, comprising
600 specimens collected by Robert E. Elbel in Siam, contains espe-
cially good series of squirrels and carnivores from localities not previ-
ously represented in the collections. Several noteworthy African
mammal collections included 249 specimens from Libya collected by
Dr. Henry W. Setzer; 61 specimens from the Belgian Congo obtained
by Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt in the course of the Smithsonian-Bredin Ex-
pedition ; and smaller collections made in the Gold Coast by Donald W.
Lamm and in Kenya by John P. Fowler. From Ponape in the Caroline
Islands, a team headed by Dr. J. T. Marshall, Jr., investigating the
ecology of the local rat populations under the auspices of the Pacific
Science Board, sent in a collection of 103 mammals. Another welcome
addition consists of a skeleton of a large sperm whale and the types of
three baleen whales presented by the Academy of Natural] Sciences of
Philadelphia. Worthy of notice also are the approximately 300 small

12 U. §. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

mammals collected by Dr. C. O. Handley, Jr., and John L. Paradiso
at selected sites in the Middle Atlantic States. Among the individual
accessions of outstanding interest is a Ross seal brought back by the
United States Navy’s Antarctic expedition. Other interesting addi-
tions include a rare big-eared bat dionycteris phyllotis from Arizona,
a rock wallaby from the introduced colony on the island of Oahu in
the Hawaiian group, the type of a new shrew from North Carolina
obtained by Dr. Albert Schwartz, and the type of a new lemming-
mouse from Kentucky sent in by Dr. Roger W. Barbour.

The year’s ornithological accessions include 145 bird skins collected
on the Gold Coast by Donald W. Lamm and 137 from Burma, by
R. B. Payne. Two deposits were received: 890 skins, 12 skeletons,
2, alcoholics, 5 sets of eggs, and a nest from Panama collected by Dr.
A. Wetmore; 261 skins and 32 skeletons of birds collected in Northern
Rhodesia by E. L. Haydock. <A transfer from the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service increased the Museum’s North American
collection by 1,400 bird skins.

Through Dr. Hobart M. Smith, the Museum received from the Uni-
versity of Illinois the gift of 24 paratypes of Mexican reptiles and
amphibians. Other worthy gifts include 104 reptiles and amphibians
from Germany and Cuba donated by Jerry D. Hardy, and 478 reptiles
and amphibians from Virginia collected by William L. Witt.

A valuable private collection of 2,550 fishes, the remainder of the
late Dr. William C. Kendall collection, was transferred from the Uni-
versity of Maine, through Dr. W. Harry Everhart and Kendall
Warner, grandson of Dr. Kendall. Through Dr. J. M. Carpenter of
the University of Kentucky were received 914 South American fishes,
forming the collection of the late Dr. William Ray Allen, who co-
authored with Dr. Carl H. Eigenmann, “The Fishes of South Amer-
ica,” published by the University of Kentucky. Other types of fishes
were received from the California Academy of Sciences through Dr.
Earl S. Herald; the University of Hawaii through Dr. William A.
Gosline and Dr. John E. Randall; the Chicago Natural History
Museum through Mrs. Marion Grey; and from Herbert R. Axelrod,
editor of the “Tropical Fish Hobbyist.” Among 53 Pacific fishes
transferred to the Museum by the Atomic Energy Commission was
a giant seabass, Promicrops lanceolatus, the first record for the Mar-
shall Islands. <A gift from the University of California through
Wayne J. Baldwin yielded 634 fishes from the Eastern Pacific. From
the Smithsonian-Bredin Expedition to the Belgian Congo 550 fishes
collected by Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt were added to the collections.
Worthy of mention also is the fine series of 1,246 Alabama fresh-water
fishes received in exchange from Dr. J. S. Dendy of the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute.

ACCESSIONS 13

By transfer from branches of the U. S. Department of Agriculture
three valuable collections of insects were received: first, the largest
single accession in the last decade or more, consisting of over 230,000
termites transferred from the Forest Service upon the recommenda-
tion of Dr. T. E. Snyder, one of the world’s leading authorities on
these destructive insects; second, over 13,000 miscellaneous specimens
from the Cereal and Forage Insects Laboratory, Lafayette, Ind.;
and third, nearly 70,000 specimens from the Entomology Research
Branch. Among the year’s notable gifts were the 4,400 specimens con-
sisting of 4,127 examples (including immature stages) of the family

Geology

The first synthetic diamond, a specimen of great scientific and
historical value, made by the General Electric Co., is one of the most
unusual and interesting items added to the mineral collection in recent
years. Among other fine and rare minerals received as gifts are: from
Prof. A. Schoep a specimen of his new species likasite, a complex
copper nitrate from the Belgian Congo; from Prof. F. Heide crystals
of his new iron-boracite (ericaite) from the South Harz District, Ger-
many; and several large masses of jadeite collected for the Museum

History

Since the Museum has the only collection of White House china of
any size in its exhibition and study groups, a concentrated effort has
been made to complete this collection. Specimens of the state service
designed for use in the newly decorated White House dining room at
the end of the Truman administration and continued in use as the

18 U. §. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

state china during the Eisenhower administration were received as
gifts from Lenox, Inc. Received as a gift from the Polk Memorial
Association, Nashville, Tenn., is a dessert plate from the state china
used in the White House during the Polk administration. Col.
Theodore Barnes, Jr., changed from loan to gift a plate and a dessert
cup from the official White House china of the Lincoln administration
and presented two dessert plates from the state service of the Hayes
administration.

Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower presented gifts of miscellaneous cos-
tume materials including the pin she wore as an ornament on her
wedding dress which is exhibited in the Museum. A magnificent
garnet-red velvet dress worn by Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, sister
of President Grover Cleveland and First Lady of the White House
from his inauguration in 1885 until his marriage in 1886, was presented
by Miss Constance H. Wood, niece of Miss Cleveland.

The division of military history received as a bequest of Albert G.
McChesney a fine officer’s sword, of the period of the War of 1812,
with a finely engraved scabbard and biued and gilded steel blade.

The most important additions to the philatelic collections are origi-
nal sketches for stamp designs by the late President Franklin D. Roose-
velt and autographed or initialed by him. These items were among
30,817 specimens loaned by former Postmaster General James A.
Farley. The Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior,
transferred a complete set of 22 die proofs of the Migratory Bird
Hunting (Duck) stamps believed to be the only complete set of die
proofs outside the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. A worldwide
collection of 71,726 varieties was received from Mrs. T. S. Palmer,
in accordance with the will of her late husband, Dr. Theodore S.
Palmer.

Outstanding numismatic accessions are: Two 10-thaler pieces of
Brunswick-Luneburg struck in 1660; two gold coins of Albania and
Egypt, presented by Paul A. Straub; and a series of 232 coins lent by

Anthropology

A. Joseph Andrews, chief preparator in the anthropology labora-
tory, prepared a number of casts of archeological specimens and bones,
cleaned 224 pieces of silver, and repaired or restored broken porcelain,
earthenware and ceramic objects.

Noteworthy progress during the year was made in the preservation
of outstanding and intrinsically valuable collections, particularly the
Arthur Michael collection of early American silver, the Hugo Worch
collection of keyboard instruments, and the George Catlin collection of
paintings of North American Indians.

To meet the requirements necessary for proper control of tempera-
ture and humidity, an air conditioning system is now being installed in
the W. L. Abbott room. The large collection of paintings depicting
the ethnology of the West will be assembled here for permanent hous-
ing and safe preservation. These were painted by such early 19th cen-
tury artists as George Catlin, Charles Bird King, Charles Mix Stan-
ley and others.

Dismantled exhibits from the American Indian and period art and
textiles halls, now in process of renovation, have temporarily over-
taxed the storage space allotted the division of ethnology and have
hampered the efforts of the staff to maintain a satisfactory classifica-
tion of these materials. Assistant Curator Robert A. Elder, Jr., was
assigned responsibility for preservation and storage of all specimens
removed from these exhibition halls, as well as supervising the cata-
loging and preservation of incoming accessions.

20 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

Assistant Curator G. Carroll Lindsay developed a procedure for
the cleaning of 15th- to 17th-century embroidery of fantastic design
raised on “stumps” or wool pads. Over a period of many years these
embroideries had accumulated much dust and grime. After being
covered with a light wire screen, they were cleaned with a hand vac-
uum, and the remainder of the dust removed with a very light camel’s-
hair brush. Carbon tetrachloride was then applied to 1 square inch
of the fabric at a time and allowed to dry before an adjoining area
of similar size was treated. This procedure prevented the dirt em-
bedded within the thick wool pads from running or smearing.

By concentrating on the numbering of specimens, the division of
archeology effected a significant reduction in the backlog of items
awaiting cataloging. The assignment of temporary clerical help dur-
ing the summer eliminated the processing backlog of 29,600 specimens
received in the fiscal year 1955. The successful operation of the arche-
ology laboratory during the year is the result largely of the supervi-
sion exercised by Museum Aide George Metcalf, to whom an
increasingly greater share of direct responsibility has been delegated.

Zoology

Material progress has been made on the long term project of merg-
ing the mammal collection of the Fish and Wildlife Service with that
of the National Museum. This consolidation, involving a complete re-
arrangement of the combined collections, brings together the largest
research collection of recent mammals ever assembled. Visiting scien-
tists who have consulted parts of the collection where the merger and
reorganization have been completed are impressed by the ease with
which specimens can be found. Properly prepared specimens kept
in lightproof, dustproof, and insectproof cases will last for centuries
with slight deterioration, but if they are frequently handled their
life expectancy will be shortened to decades or even to years. Under
the new arrangement, by an adequate system of guide labels on cases
and drawers and by the segregation of series of specimens in separate
trays, most of the necessity for actually handling specimens, either
by staff members engaged in routine curatorial work or by visiting
scientists, is materially reduced.

Special problems have arisen concerning the skulls and skeletons
of large whales partly through acquisition of new material and partly
through crowding occasioned by the present program of renovating
exhibits, Some of these specimens were moved to attic storage space,
and plans were drawn up for the more efficient utilization of the space
in the east-court shed.

Modernizing the bird hall necessitated constructing a number of
wooden storage cabinets behind the new habitat groups to provide

CARE OF COLLECTIONS 21

housing for the mounted birds removed from exhibition. Specimens
no longer needed for display purposes were given to educational in-
stitutions, schools, and to the National Park Service, while those
desired for reference purposes were dismounted and returned to the
study series. A considerable amount of this work remains to be done.
Further progress on the continuing task of reidentifying all speci-
mens was accomplished by the division staff, assisted by Dr. J. W.
Aldrich and A. J. Duvall of the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service.

On March 1, 1956, an inventory of the collection of reptiles and
amphibians was started. About one-fifth of the frogs in the collec-
tion have been examined and the identifications verified. The col-
lections of fishes are in an excellent state of preservation, and, so
far as processed and cataloged, are arranged in an orderly manner
and are readily accessible. There remains, however a large backlog
of uncataloged material which is not readily accessible.

Despite shortage of space and staff, the division of insects has made
gratifying progress this year in the care of the collection. The
termite collection, consisting of over 230,000 specimens in vials, was
completely overhauled and relabeled by Dr. Thomas EK. Snyder. The
Bromely collection of robber flies, accessioned last year, was processed,
labeled, and incorporated with the museum series; 3,577 reared speci-
mens of Drosophila were mounted and labeled; and miscellaneous
insects received from Fred Poos, H. Howden, R. E. Elbel, Naval
Medical Research Unit No. 3 at Cairo, and other sources were proc-
essed. A collection of 3,581 spiders was completely rehabilitated by
relabeling all specimens and placing them in glass vials. The entire
collection of Fulgoridae was rearranged. At least 106,470 insects
were added to the permanent study collection and more than 900 types
were segregated.

Replacement of the less trustworthy aluminum-capped bottles in
the alcoholic collections of marine invertebrates was completed, and
considerable headway was made on the task of replacing with neo-
prene rings the faulty gaskets on many of the half-pint clamp-top
glass jars. During the year over 19,000 specimens, representing more
than 2,200 entries, were cataloged.

The physical condition of the mollusk collection is generally good,
but without additional staff no appreciable reduction of the ever-pres-
ent large backlog of cataloged lots awaiting intercalation in the study
series can be made. Specimens that are not intercalated in the proper
systematic place in the collection remain relatively inaccessible.

22 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

Botany

Available storage space for the permanent botanical collections was
increased about 20 percent by the delivery of new herbarium cases,
which enabled the staff to expand and rearrange the herbarium.

The major activities in caring for the permanent collections and
the processing of new material are summarized in the following table:

1954-55 1955-56

Specimens and photographs mounted.......... 35,176 32, 729
Specimens . repaired: 2s. 06 6 Shak ee eer el aise ee 3, 550 3, 174
Specimens stamped and recorded............. 40,085 25, 609
Specimens incorporated in herbarium.......... 42,895 23, 604

The segregated type herbarium was increased by 372 specimens.
There are now 55,300 types, including 38,918 phanerogams, 9,894
grasses, 3,308 ferns, and 3,185 cryptograms.

The Hitchcock and Chase Library contains 7,099 publications, 32
having been added during the year. The grass species index contains
80,421 cards, an increase of 824 cards for the year.

Geology

It should be noted that the problems involved in caring for the
collections in each of the divisions are quite different. The collections
of minerals are now in excellent condition, but some condensation and
rearrangement of rock collections transferred by the United States
Geological Survey is needed. The meteorite collection has grown
so large that some provision for larger quarters must be made in the
near future. It will be advantageous to house these meteorites in an
air conditioned room to reduce destructive effects of changes in tem-
perature and humidity. Space was found during the year for storing
the Bauer collection of Franklin, N. J., minerals and for the incorpora-
tion of the Trainer garnet collection. The miscellaneous collection
of the late Frank L. Hess was also sorted for intercalation in the
reference series.

Frank Holden, in charge of the lapidary shop, reports that 173 spec-
imens of rocks, minerals, and ores were cut and polished ; 89 meteorites
were cut, polished, and etched; and 114 thin sections were prepared.
Forty-one persons interested in polishing techniques visited the lapi-
dary shop.

The invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany collections are in-
creasing rapidly. An additional room has been made available for
housing the foraminiferal collections. ‘The sorting of the silicified
Permian fossils from the Glass Mountains has been nearly completed.
Of the etched specimens, about 500 drawers have been sorted into
genera. Provision has been made for the expansion of the Paleozoic
pelecypod biological collection. The sorting of the Renfro collection,

CARE OF COLLECTIONS 23

which is rich in fossil mollusks, is scheduled. Robert Finks, a Colum-
bia University graduate student, continued his study of and arrange-
ment of the Paleozoic sponge collection.

Because of the large work load resulting from the exhibition pro-
gram, virtually no preparation of higher vertebrate materials for the
study collection has been carried on during the year. Cataloging has
been completed of the Paleocene mammal collections from the Twin
Creek area of Wyoming and from the Almy formation, and also of
specimens from the upper Eocene Badwater localities. Cataloging
of the lower vertebrates has kept up with current accessions, and as
the search for suitable specimens for exhibit purposes has progressed,
refinements have been effected in the segregation and arrangement
of the stored collections of lower vertebrates.

Kingineering and Industries

Significant progress was made in improving the condition and ar-
rangement of the reference collections, chiefly through the activity
of Fuller Griffith and Mrs. Selma Perry, aide and clerk-stenographer
in the division of graphic arts, and Leslie Newville, in the office of
the head curator.

Museum Aide Griffith examined and reorganized a large amount of
graphic arts material. Mrs. Perry continued a project for the im-
provement of the catalog cross-referencing system, to which she added
over 2,000 entries. Mr. Griffith also assisted A. J. Wedderburn, Jr.,
in a survey of the collection of photographic equipment, made in con-
nection with the preparation of exhibit plans for the Museum of
History and Technology.

Mr. Newville was assigned to projects in several sections. For
the division of engineering he organized and filed a substantial
number of marine photographs and drawings. Notable among
these were the Fish Commission photographs and the Griffith
collection of ship drawings, which were identified where necessary,
and repaired. He also sorted, repaired, and filed a large amount of
documentary material relating to the distinguished American hy-
draulic engineer Uriah Boyden. For the section of manufactures he
sorted, repaired, and filed 75 percent of the collection of drawings by
A. L. Holley, pertaining to the steel industry.

Additional storage lockers received during the year were utilized
to improve the storage conditions of reference collections of agricul-
tural patent models, scientific instruments, phonographs, and tools.
In the section of wood technology, 748 specimens were cut and num-
bered for the reference collection by Museum Aides Edward Avery
and Joseph Greene. A number of damaged marine drawings from

24 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

the Griffith collection were repaired through the courtesy of the
National Archives and Record Service.

History

A generous donation received during the year provided funds for
laundering some 35 specimens in the Copp collection of 18th- and
19th-century costumes and household furnishings. New storage
lockers for the costumes collection were designed by Associate Curator
Margaret Brown Klapthor, and to 20 such units on the north gallery
were moved the costumes in storage in the south rooms of the west
gallery storage area. These rooms were then assigned to the divisions
of military and naval history.

The uniforms in storage were rearranged and many were placed
in sealed units. Substantial progress was made on the task of collat-
ing the military and naval insignia. Some progress was made on the
program for separating the reference collections of military and
naval materials.

A large vault constructed to house the reference collections of the
division of philately, provided some 2,000 cubic feet of protected
storage space. The rearrangement of the philatelic reference collec-
tions continues as new stock books become available. All the Greek
and Roman series of coins on exhibition were cleaned and given
necessary preservative treatment before being replaced in the re-
cently refinished display cases. Collation of the reference collec-
tions of coins and paper money continued.

The usual precautions against insect, light, and dust damage were
taken. The routine work of checking specimens in storage against
catalog cards, of locating, tagging and marking specimens, of iden-
tifying and cataloging new specimens and old ones, and of making
minor repairs on the specimens, continued.

Investigation and Research

Anthropology

On April 2, 1956, Head Curator Frank M. Setzler began excavations
in an early colonial site in Virginia known as Marlborough Town.
This was established as an important river port and county seat for
Stafford County by Acts of the Virginia Assembly in 1691 and 1705.
The town was abandoned and the land taken over as a large Virginia
plantation in the early part of the 18th century. The work was carried
forward in collaboration with Prof. Oscar H. Darter, Department of
History, Mary Washington College, and C. Malcolm Watkins, asso-
ciate curator of ethnology of the National Museum, under a grant from
the American Philosophical Society. The excavations revealed the
foundation of a large house, 117 feet long and 30 to 35 feet wide, which
seems to have been used by John Mercer after 1725. The specimens
recovered from the excavations consisted of iron, porcelain, earthen-
ware, pewter, silver, and glass. There is a possibility that the large
structure subsequently used as a house by John Mercer may have been
the original Stafford County Courthouse.

Archeology.—While on detail to the River Basin Surveys of the
Bureau of American Ethnology, from July 13 to September 13, 1955,
Dr. Waldo R. Wedel, curator, assisted by Museum Aide George Met-
calf, supervised archeological excavations in South Dakota. This field
study was a continuation of investigations begun by Dr. Wedel in
1951 at a multicomponent village site near the junction of the Chey-
enne and Missouri Rivers. The 1955 excavations confirmed earlier
inferences that the site had been occupied during at least three dif-
ferent periods of time, probably with intervening periods of nonoccu-
pancy. The three occupations are believed to have occurred between
about A. D. 1300 and 1775. The last group of Indians to have lived
on the site in all probability were identifiable with the Arikara.
Within a few years this site will be inundated by the waters impounded
by Oahe Dam, now under construction by the Corps of Engineers a
few miles north of Pierre, S. Dak.

After returning to Washington, Dr. Wedel completed a paper, “The
Central North American Grassland, Manmade or Natural 2,” part of
which he read before the Anthropological Society of Washington.
Certain theories attribute the lack of trees in the Great Plains and
adjacent prairies to the long-continued and widespread Indian prac-

25

26 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

tice of hunting game with fire drives. ‘These theories were reviewed,
and on the basis of recent climatologic studies by competent scholars,
and their observations of tree behavior in the grassland during the
great drought of the 1930’s, Dr. Wedel concluded that man’s role, or
that of the Indian, was decidedly a secondary one in the formation and
maintenance of typical grassland vegetation. As time permitted,
Doctor Wedel continued work on his report of archeological investiga-
tions in Kansas from 1937 to 1940 and after.

Dr. Clifford Evans, associate curator, and Dr. Betty J. Meggers,
honorary research associate, classified 65,000 potsherds from a deep
stratigraphic cut at La Chorrera, on the Rio Babahoya in the Guayas
Basin, Ecuador. This analysis revealed significant material hereto-
fore unreported from this part of South America. A complex of
pottery types from the lowest levels in the cut compares favorably with
the early materials from the Formative Periods in Honduras, México,
and the coast of Peru. Work was also continued by Dr. Evans and
Dr. Meggers on their anthropological collections from British Guiana.
The opportunity during the year to confer with colleagues and to study
collections trom Trinidad and the Lower Orinoco at other mu-
seums made it possible for them to complete the analysis of specimens
and prepare comparative data. The study of the material culture
change and other ethnographic details of the Wai Wai Indians of
British Guiana is now proceeding.

George Metcalf, museum aide, continued preparation of a report of
the archeological investigation on a late Arikara village site in North
Dakota by the River Basin Surveys. He also continued work on a
report on a number of prehistoric sites excavated by the Nebraska
State Historical Society in central Nebraska in 1989.

The extended illness of Neil M. Judd, research associate, delayed
considerably his analysis of materials collected in Chaco Canyon for
the National Geographic Society. He has again resumed his study
of the material culture of the Pueblo del Arroyo site.

Ethnology.—Herbert W. Krieger, curator, carried forward his
long-range analysis of the historical Indian cultures of the Antilles.
Eyewitness and contemporary accounts, relative to materials and
Indians brought back to Spain by Christopher Columbus on his first
voyage and displayed by him at Palos, Sevilla, and Barcelona, were
reviewed. The study of archeological materials recovered on Lucayan,
Ciguayan, Taino, Carib, and Ciboney village sites in the Bahamas,
Hispaniola, Cuba, and the Virgin Islands was continued.

Associate Curator John C. Ewers from September 18 to October
1, 1955, examined the ethnographical specimens in the Peabody
Museum of Archeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, which
had been collected from the Plains Indians in 1804-06 by the expedi-
tion to the Pacific Coast under the direction of Lewis and Clark. An

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 27

extensive paper, “George Catlin, Painter of Indians and the West,”
prepared by Mr. Ewers for publication in the Annual Report of the
Smithonsian Institution, provides a sketch of Catlin’s life, an evalua-
tion of the artistic, historic, and scientific importance of his paintings,
as well as a checklist by tribes and areas of the 450 Catlin paintings in
the National Museum. Effective February 26, 1956, Mr. Ewers trans-
ferred to the office of the assistant director to serve as planning officer
for the Museum of History and Technology.

As time permitted, C. Malcolm Watkins, associate curator, con-
tinued his analysis of the colonial ceramic collections in the National
Park Service Laboratory at Jamestown, Va. This study will provide
data on American colonial crafts, as well as an analysis, description,
and interpretation of 17th-century Virginia pottery types, with special
emphasis on the earlier earthenwares, about which only slight infor-
mation is available.

G. Carrol Lindsay was appointed assistant curator February 20,
1956.

Physical Anthropology—A grant of $3,000, received on March 9,
1955, from the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Re-
search, Inc., New York, enabled Dr. T. Dale Stewart, curator of physi-
eal anthropology, and Dr. Mildred Trotter of Washington Uni-
versity, St. Louis, to organize a summer seminar in human identifica-
tion. This seminar, held in the Museum of Natural History from
September 7 to 9, 1955, was attended by representatives from other
institutions, and from government agencies.

Subsequently Dr. Stewart resumed the excavation, begun in 1953,
of an Indian ossuary on Nanjemoy Creek in Charles County, Md.
Approximately 35 adult skeletons were found when the remaining
unexcavated area was exposed. The excavation was completed Octo-
ber 15, 1955.

Having been invited to contribute to Clinical Orthopaedics an
article on the subject of anomalies of the back, Doctor Stewart reex-
amined the series of Eskimo skeletons, studied in 1953, which had been
arranged in two matched series, one containing only individuals with
defects in the neural arches of the lumbar vertebrae, and the other
containing only individuals free from such defects. Each series was
compared to determine whether they differed in frequencies of certain
characters known to contribute to postural strains centering in the
low back.

On September 6, 1955, the Quartermaster Corps detailed Dr. T. W.
McKern to work with Dr. Stewart on the data, which the latter had col-
lected in Japan in 1954-55, relating to skeletal aging. Analysis of these
data was continued throughout the fiscal year. Certain sex differences
in the pelvis which Dr. Stewart noted during these and other studies
of the human skeleton were summarized in a paper read at the annual

28 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropology in
Chicago.

In addition to his research activities, Doctor Stewart served as
president of the American Institute of Human Paleontology, delivered
one of the All-University lectures at the University of Wisconsin on
the subject of “Diseases of Prehistoric Man,” and as contributing edi-
tor of the Handbook of Latin American Studies summarized the litera-
ture for the years 1953-55 in the field of physical anthropology.

Dr. Marshall T. Newman, associate curator of physical anthro-
pology, was awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation
to study the effect of improved nutrition on the physique of the Indians
at Hacienda Vicos, Pert. The basic study will be conducted from
March to August 1956, and a followup investigation will be made about
4 years hence.

Research by visiting investigators.—During the past year 3,656
visitors requested information, examined collections and conferred
with staff members on anthropological problems; 4,006 letters were
written, and 8,947 telephonic inquiries were answered. Among the
significant work on the collections by outside investigators was the
study of the aboriginal textiles in the division of archeology by
Miss Irene Emery and Miss Mary EK. King, of the Textile Museum of
Washington, who have succeeded in making an important quantitative
analysis of aboriginal Andean textile techniques. Some rare and |
scientifically important textile specimens were found in the Andean
collection.

Among the distinguished visitors and scientists from foreign coun-
tries who used our anthropological collections for research were the
following:

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 29

Zoology

Mammals.—Acting Curator David H. Johnson and Lt. J. Knox
Jones, Jr., U. S. Army, published three preliminary systematic
papers on the mammals collected in Korea by hemorrhagic fever teams
under the auspices of the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board. Dr.
Johnson also continued to work on faunal projects involving the mam-
mals of southeastern Asia and the systematics of murine rodents.

Associate Curator Henry W. Setzer made good progress on his
studies on the mammals collected by United States Naval Medical Re-
search Unit No. 3 in Egypt and adjoining countries and prepared re-
ports on the insectivores and hares of Egypt. In September 1955
Dr. Setzer visited the British Museum (Natural History) to study
African mammals before proceeding to Cairo, Egypt, where he con-
sulted with the staff of Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3. The fol-
lowing 10 weeks were devoted to field investigations in Libya. With
headquarters at Wheelus Air Force Base, Tripoli, collecting was car-
ried on as far east as Derna, Cyrenaica, and south, in the interior, as
far as Traghan, Fezzan. Returning to Washington late in December,
Dr. Setzer during the winter and spring undertook studies of his
Libyan collections.

Associate Curator Charles O. Handley, Jr., brought nearly to com-
pletion his part of the report on the mammals of Ungava, being pre-
pared in collaboration with Dr. Dana Snyder. Dr. Handley also
made material progress on studies of mammals of the high Arctic re-
gions, mammals of the Kalahari Desert, marsupials of the Neotropical
regions (including discovery of a new Marmosa from Peri), and a
review of the shrew Cryptotis parva. While engaged in field collect-
ing in the Middle Atlantic States he visited the Mountain Lake area
in southwestern Virginia in September 1955 and, with Museum
Aide John Paradiso, during April 1956, collected in the coastal salt
marshes at Back Bay and Chincoteague, Va., and at Oceanville, N. J.

Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., curator of the division of mammals for 42 years
and research associate of the Smithsonian Institution since January
1, 1941, died in Washington, D. C., on February 24, 1956, at the age
of 84. Another member of the honorary scientific staff, Dr. Theodore
S. Palmer, also died this year, July 23, 1955, at the age of 87. For 44
years a member of the staff of the Biological Survey, United States
Department of Agriculture, Dr. Palmer had been a Smithsonian In-
stitution associate in zoology since August 1, 1933.

Birds.—Curator Herbert Friedmann revised and enlarged his man-
uscript dealing with data on parasitic reproduction in African
cuckoos. Under a special grant from the Guggenheim Foundation, he
continued an investigation of the digestion of beeswax by honeyguides.

30 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

The nature of the wax-splitting process has now been clarified, and
attention is being oriented toward biochemical aspects of the end prod-
ucts and the bearing of the new information on tuberculosis therapy.
Dr. Friedmann devoted further time to the fifth edition of the “A. O. U.
Check-list of North American Birds” and to the second volume of the
“Birds of Mexico,” and began work on a paper on the parasitic mode
of reproduction in the weaverbirds.

Associate Curator Herbert G. Deignan, in continuation of his studies
on the birds of Thailand, revised various groups of species where new
data or additional specimens indicated that such action was neces-
sary. His critical catalog of the type specimens of birds in the na-
tional collections was also kept up to date.

Dr. A. Wetmore, research associate, also assisted in the preparation
of the fifth edition of the “A. O. U. Check-list of North American
Birds” and continued work on the extensive Panamanian and Colom-
bian collections he has amassed during the past 16 years or more. He
also spent 3 months in Panama, collecting over 900 additional speci-
mens from an area that he had previously visited.

Reptiles and Amphibians.—For the nearly completed catalog of
types, cotypes, and paratypes in the national collections, there yet re-
mains the final checking of all the published works of authors who
have had access to the collections. Asa result of this undertaking by
Dr. Doris M. Cochran, associate curator, a number of hitherto un-
recognized type specimens were located and properly labeled. The
annotated list of these types will cover approximately a century of
herpetological taxonomy, since the oldest types in the museum are
those described by Baird and Hallowell in the 1850’s. Research on the
frogs of western Brazil is still being held in abeyance pending the re-
ceipt of additional material from critical areas. A supplement to
Dr. Cochran’s “Herpetology of Hispaniola” was initiated, as rather
extensive Haitian material has been received since its publication
in 1941.

Fishes.—Curator Leonard P. Schultz and Associate Curator Ernest
A. Lachner submitted for publication volume 2 of “The Fishes of the
Marshall and Marianas Islands.” ‘This extensive work, undertaken
in conjunction with the atom bomb experiments, has occupied nearly
all of the research time of the curator since January 1946 and that of
the associate curator since February 1, 1949. Dr. Schultz published
three papers, one as a joint author, and, with Herbert R. Axelrod,
a “Handbook of Tropical Aquarium Fishes.” Dr. Schultz also has
in publication two revisions, one dealing with the parrotfishes of the
world, family Scaridae, the other with the frogfishes, family Anten-
narlidae. In progress is a study of the fossil fish remains in Calvert

Cliffs, Md.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 31

Dr. Lachner published a paper on the berycoid fish family
Polymixiidae and submitted for publication “A Revision of the
Shark-suckers, Family Echeneidae.” Still in progress is his study
of “The Family Gobiidae of the Marshall and Marianas Islands.”
Dr. Lachner left for Europe on a John Simon Guggenheim Memo-
rial Fellowship on March 12, 1956, to study types and other specimens
in the museums of western Europe.

Robert H. Kanazawa, museum aide, completed his revision of
the eels, genus Conger, of the world, and undertook the description of
three new South American fishes.

Insects.—Curator J. F. Gates Clarke completed the text of volume
3 of his “Catalogue of the Type specimens of Microlepidoptera in the
British Museum (Natural History) described by Edward Meyrick,”
consisting of nearly 600 pages of manuscript and 300 plates. A
grant-in-aid from the American Philosophical Society enabled Dr.
Clarke, during June, July, and August 1955, to engage in field work
in the northwestern United States, where he sought Microlepidoptera
attached to plants of the family Umbelliferae. During March and
April 1956 he participated in the Smithsonian-Bredin Expedition to
the West Indies.

Associate Curator William D. Field completed a revision of the
genera Hypsochila, Phulia, and Piercolias in the family Pieridae
for publication in Acta Zoologica Lilloana (Argentina). He is
now engaged in the preparation of two other reports: “A revision of
the genus Baltia” and “A revision of the subgenus Calycopis of the
genus Thecla.”

Associate Curator O. L. Cartwright continued his researches on
the scarabaeid beetles of the genus Ataenius inhabiting the western
hemisphere, and also undertook the study of the scarabaeid genus
Onthophagus,; members of both of these genera are suspected of being
the intermediate hosts of parasites of domestic animals. His other
papers in progress are “The Scarabaeidae of Micronesia” and “Scara-
baeidae of Bimini.” In furtherance of his studies on the scarabaeid
beetle genus Ataenius, Cartwright obtained a grant-in-aid from the
American Philosophical Society which made it possible for him to
leave Washington May 25, 1956, to collect needed additional material
in the southwestern United States.

Marine Invertebrates.—Curator Fenner A. Chace, Jr., completed
his report on porcellanid crabs of West Africa and resumed research
on the coral crabs of the genus 7’rapezia, begun in 1947.

On March 1, 1956, Curator Fenner A. Chace, Jr., and Dr. Waldo L.
Schmitt, the head curator of zoology, left Washington on the Smith-
sonian-Bredin Caribbean Expedition which was made possible by
the special fund generously set up for it by Mr. and Mrs. J. Bruce
Bredin, of Wilmington, Del. The party, which was led by Mr.

32 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

Bredin, also included Dr. Albert C. Smith, curator of phanerogams.
It sailed from Trinidad on the 86-foot schooner /’reelance on March
12 and visited Grenada, Carriacou, Union, Tobaco Cays, Mustique,
Bequia, St. Lucia, Martinique, and Dominica in the Windward
Islands, where Dr. J. F. Gates Clarke, curator of insects, jomed the
expedition; Guadeloupe, Antigua, Barbuda, Redonda, Nevis, and St.
Christopher in the Leeward Islands; and Virgin Gorda, Tortola, and
St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, arriving at St. Croix on April 18
and returning to Washington on May 1. Mr. Bredin left the expedi-
tion at Martinique on March 22, 1956. His place for the last 2 weeks
of the cruise was taken by his brother-in-law, Mr. Ernest N. May, who
had made possible the Smithsonian-May Expedition of 19387 to the
Bahamas and to St. Vincent. The objective of the present expedition
was the acquisition of marine, entomological, and botanical collec-
tions at some of the less frequently visited islands along the eastern
boundary of the Caribbean Sea.

Associate Curator Frederick M. Bayer nearly completed the manu-
script for a handbook of the shallow-water octocorals of the West
Indies and is collaborating with Dr. Robert R. Harry on a report on an
ecological resurvey of Iwayama Bay, Palau Islands. On June 21,
1955, he left Washington for the Palau Islands as a member of a field
team sponsored jointly by the Office of Naval Research, the Pacific
Science Board of the National Research Council, the George Vander-
bilt Foundation of Stanford University, the Trust Territory of the
Pacific Islands, and the Smithsonian Institution. The party arrived
at Koror on June 30 and spent the months of July, August, and Octo-
ber conducting field studies in the area.

In September, Mr. Bayer conferred with Japanese biologists who
had been associated with the Palao Tropical Biological Station be-
fore the war, visiting such institutions as the Tokai Regional Fish-
eries Laboratory, the Zoological Laboratory of Tokyo University,
and the Research Institute for Natural Resources, all in Tokyo; the
Misaki Marine Biological Station near Misaki; the Seto Marine Bio-
logical Laboratory at Shirahama; and the Kyoto University Fisheries
Laboratory at Maizuru. The purpose of these visits was to learn of
research, both published and unpublished, carried on in the Palaus
and to trace biological collections obtained in those islands before the
war. One of the most important aspects of his fieldwork was a re-
survey of the fauna of Iwayama Bay, a region that had been in-
tensively studied 20 years earlier by members of the Japanese Palao
Tropical Biological Station. Considerable time was devoted to in-
vestigations of animals associated with certain crinoids, gorgonian
corals, sea anemones, and other coelenterates on coral reefs and in
other marine habitats of the Palau Archipelago. The party left

Koror on November 15, and Mr. Bayer returned to Washington on
November 24, 1955.

Associate Curator Thomas EK. Bowman completed and has awaiting
publication four manuscripts describing a new species of the my-
sidacean crustacean M/ysidopsis from the southeastern United States;
on a new species of the isopod crustacean Bopyrella from Venezuela ;
in collaboration with Dr. Abraham Fleminger, a new species of the
copepod crustacean Candacia from the North Atlantic; and, with Dr.
Robert J. Menzies, an emended description and generic reassignment
of a perplexing isopod. In addition, Dr. Bowman is preparing re-
ports on the calanoid copepods collected by the crew of the research
vessel Theodore N. Gill, of the Fish and Wildlife Service, off the
southeastern United States and on a small collection of isopod para-
sites of fishes from Venezuela.

Associate Curator Charles E. Cutress continued three studies which
were in progress when he joined the staff in January 1956: the sea
anemones of the orders Actiniaria, Corallimorpharia, and Cerian-
tharia of the Hawaiian Islands; the sea anemones of the Marshall
and Gilbert Islands; and the sea anemones of Samoa and Tahiti.

Clarence R. Shoemaker, associate in zoology, completed three man-
uscripts : on the amphipod crustaceans Hurythenes gryllus and Katius
obesus; on some North Pacific amphipods with notes on Stilipes
distincta; and on two new lysianassid amphipods from the east coast
of the United States.

Dr. J. Percy Moore, collaborator, completed a manuscript on the
leeches of Natal, South Africa, and is continuing his studies of other
leeches.

Mrs. Mildred S. Wilson, collaborator in copepod Crustacea, contin-
ued to compile and interpret distribution records for her monograph of
the freshwater calanoid copepods. She completed 2 manuscripts on
calanoid copepods and 3 on harpacticoid copepods; the latter repre-
sent the first installments of a series Mrs. Wilson is preparing on
North American harpacticoids.

Miss Ailsa M. Clark of the British Museum (Natural History) has
generously agreed to prepare for publication the manuscript by the
late Austin H. Clark comprising the fifth and final part (Order
Macrophreata) of the first volume of “A Monograph of the Existing
Crinoids” (U.S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 82). The manuscript is now in her
hands, and the work should be completed sometime in the coming
year.

During the year, 24 specialists in other institutions undertook to
identify material of various groups of invertebrates, for most of
which there are no specialists on the Museum staff. Of the 30 ship-
ments, involving more than 1,944 specimens, sent to these unofficial
collaborators during the year, 13, including more than 407 specimens,

voted such research time as was available to the manuscript he is pre-
paring on the superfamily Pyramidellacea for the Treatise of Inverte-
brate Paleontology.

Associate Curator Joseph P. E. Morrison continued his studies on
the families Ellobiidae and Hydrobiidae, emphasizing their ecology.
He also gave further attention to the brackish water representatives of
other families especially the Mactridae.

William B. Marshall, assistant curator in the division of mollusks
until his retirement in 1934, and Smithsonian Institution associate in
zoology since May 1, 1934, died in Washington, D. C., on December 18,
1955, at the age of 91.

Research by visiting investigators.—In addition to investigators
from Federal agencies located in the Washington area, more than 216
(as compared with 180 last year) professional biologists and students
interested in some phase of systematics or some group of animals, paid
one or more visits to the Museum examining specimens, reference
works, or in consultation with members of the staff. Foreign scientists,

Botany

Phanerogams.—Curator A. C. Smith, in continuation of his studies
of Pacific plants, progressed in the identification of the Fijian speci-
mens collected by him in 1953. He prepared and submitted for pub-
lication two papers in his series on South American plants and, at the
request of the editor of the A. I. B. S. Bulletin, prepared for publica-
tion a discussion of the herbaria of the United States. As president
of the American Society of Plant Taxonomists he addressed the Sep-
tember meeting of the society at East Lansing, Michigan. Dr. Smith
accompanied the Smithsonian-Bredin Caribbean Expedition, and
made botanical collections on the islands of Trinidad, Grenada, several
of the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Dominica, Guadeloupe, Antigua, Bar-

396826—56——4

36 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

buda, Nevis, and Virgin Gorda. Although time was very limited for
botanizing on each island, 619 numbers and 4,020 botanical specimens
were assembled.

Dr. Lyman B. Smith, associate curator, completed a manuscript on
the Bromeliaceae for the Flora of Surinam, concerned with 48 species,
of which 4 are new; he also prepared and submitted for publication
descriptions of 61 new species of Bromeliaceae from the spectacular
flora of the Guayana Highland, which is being surveyed by Dr. Bas-
sett Maguire and his colleagues at the New York Botanical Garden.
A manuscript discussing the Bromeliaceae of Colombia (more than
360 species) has been nearly completed, and preliminary work has
been started on a study of the Euphorbiaceae of the Brazilian state
of Santa Catarina. With Dr. R. J. Downs, Dr. Smith prepared a
manuscript on the Santa Catarina species of Myrsinaceae which will
be published in Brazil.

Associate Curator E. H. Walker canted his studies of the flora
of Okinawa and the southern Ryukyus. He published a systematic
treatment of the Myrsinaceae of that region, and his manuscript of
the Flora of Okinawa has progressed through the monocotyledons
and into the dicotyledons as far as the Geraniaceae; the section of the
Flora dealing with ferns is nearly completed. A study of the
Myrsinaceae of Taiwan was forwarded by examination of specimens
of that family sent on loan by the two important herbaria of Taiwan.

Associate Curator E. C. Leonard completed his comprehensive revi-
sion of the Acanthaceae of Colombia, of which the third and final part
is now in press; this part contains, in addition to treatments of the
concluding genera, a supplement discussing recently examined speci-
mens and describing and illustrating an additional 26 new species. A
study of the Acanthaceae of Argentina is in progress.

Dr. Velva E. Rudd, associate curator, essentially completed her
revision of the genus Chaetocalyz, which will form the third part of
a series on the subtribe Aeschynomeninae of the family Leguminosae.
Work on the remaining one or two papers which will complete the
series is being undertaken.

Mr. E. P. Killip, research associate, continued his collecting of
plants for the division on the Isle of Pines, Cuba, and in southern
Florida.

Grasses.—Curator Jason R. Swallen completed a study of the
grasses of the Guayana Highland, Venezuela, based on material ob-
tained primarily by Dr. Bassett Maguire of the New York Botanical
Garden and Dr. Julian A. Steyermark of the Chicago Natural His-
tory Museum. Especially noteworthy in the collection were 17 new
species of Myriocladus, an endemic genus of bamboo described in 1951.
A short paper, “Notes on Central American Grasses 1,” based on

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 37

the author’s collections in Honduras, was published. Studies on the
grasses of southern Brazil were continued.

Associate Curator Ernest R. Sohns published two papers, the first
(jointly with Jason R. Swallen) on grasses collected in Ecuador by
Dr. W. H. Camp, and the second on a rare endemic genus, Calamo-
chloa, in México. The plants collected in 1955 in Chiapas near Lake
Miramar, México, were identified and the account is now in press in
YAN, the official organ of El Centro de Investigaciones Antropol6-
gicas de México. Nine new grasses were described in the Andro-
pogoneae and Paniceae from collections made by Dr. Bassett Maguire
and collaborators in Venezuela. Besides these activities, research was
continued on the genus Andropogon of México in particular, and on
the grasses of México in general.

Mrs. Agnes Chase, research associate, continued editing and veri-
fying the index to grass species. Typing of the cards has proceeded
rapidly.

Dr. F. A. McClure, research associate, was commissioned by the
Maria Moors Cabot Foundation of Harvard University to make a
survey of what is known about bamboo in order to get a perspective on
the potentialites of these plants as a source of industrially important
raw materials, such as cellulose. The assembling and processing of
literature concerning the taxonomy of the bamboos continued under
a National Science Foundation grant. Four papers were completed
under the auspices of the United States Department of Agriculture:
“An Illustrated Field Manual of 24 Species and 10 Cultivars of the
Genus Phyllostachys under Cultivation in the United States,” “Bam-
boo in the Economy of Oriental Peoples,” “Prospects Are Promising
for Bamboo Culture in the South Pacific,” and “New Species in the
Bamboo Genus Phyllostachys and Some Nomenclatural Notes.”

Ferns.—Curator C. V. Morton spent two weeks during August
1955 collecting in the Sawtooth Wilderness Area, in the Sawtooth
Mountains, Idaho. The trip was by horseback, which enabled him to
reach many isolated areas; the collections made totaled over a thous-
and specimens. On December 28, 1955, he left for Cuba, and spent
about 10 weeks on this botanically interesting island collecting speci-
mens for the National Herbarium. He had with him his comprehen-
sive manuscript on the Gesneriaceae of Cuba, and especial attention
was given to this group of flowering plants; he was able to locate and
study in the field over half the Cuban species of this family, many of
which are quite rare and local. This field work was very much facili-
tated by help from the Estacién Experimental Agronémica (Santiago
de las Vegas), which served as his headquarters, the Colegio de la
Salle (Havana), the United States Naval Base (Guantanamo Bay),
the Harvard Botanical Garden (Soledad), Sr. M. Lopez Figueiras

38 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

(Santiago de Cuba), and Sra. Hermelia Casas de Almeida (Santiago
de Cuba).

Cryptogams.—Associate Curator Paul Conger continued his
monographic study of the diatom genus Grammatophora and his stu-
dies of the diatom flora and ecology of Chincoteague Bay, Maryland.

Research by visiting investigators.—The Smithsonian Institution
received a grant from the National Science Foundation on behalf of
Dr. José Cuatrecasas, who since August has been a resident investiga-
tor and has continued his detailed studies of the flora of Colombia.
Father Raulino Reitz, of the Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues,” Itajai,
Santa Catarina, Brazil, completed his work on the flora of Santa Ca-
tarina, and returned to Brazil in September 1955. Dr. J. Murca Pires,
of the Instituto Agronomico do Norte, Belém, Brazil, spent several
months studying the collections in connection with his research on
the Amazonian flora. Mr. George Black, also of the Instituto Agro-
nomico do Norte, returned in October 1955 to complete his monograph
of Axvonopus, an important tropical genus of grasses. Dr. and Mrs.
Leandro Aristeguieta, of the Instituto Botanico, Caracas, Venezuela,
spent several weeks examining material of Venezuelan Compositae
in connection with a new flora of that country. Dr. I. D. Clement,
of the Atkins Garden and Research Laboratories, Cienfuegos, Cuba,
continued his studies of the genus Sida. Dr. Kittie F. Parker, former-
ly of the University of Arizona, carried on her research of the western
flora, especially Compositae. Dr. Rogers McVaugh, of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, utilized the herbarium materials to complete his
comprehensive study of the Myrtaceae of Peri. Dr. Marshall C.
Johnson, of the University of Texas, carried on research in the genus
Dissodia over an extended period.

Other visitors who consulted the collections briefly were Brother
Alain, Colegio de la Salle, Havana, Cuba; R. T. Clausen, Cornell
University ; George Hiten, F. G. Meyer, and George B. Van Schaack,
Missouri Botanical Garden; L. A. Garay, University of Toronto;
Mrs. Helen Allison, University of Minnesota; and Elizabeth McClin-
tock, California Academy of Sciences. Almost 700 persons visited the
department seeking various kinds of scientific information. Staff
members of other Government agencies, particularly the Department
of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture, continued to con-
sult the collections regularly in connection with their work.

Geology

Late in May the Department of Geology and the Museum were sad-
dened by the sudden death of Head Curator W. F. Foshag. His death,
May 21, 1956, deprived the Nation of one of its foremost mineralogists,
a man unusually skilled in identification of minerals and one who

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 39

had an exceptionally wide knowledge of the field. Dr. Foshag came
to the National Museum in 1919 as assistant curator of mineralogy
and over the years advanced to the position of head curator of geology,
to which he was appointed in 1948. Under him, the collection of
minerals grew in quality and specific representation, so that today it
is nowhere exceeded in these respects. Largely through his influ-
ence the generous and useful Roebling and Canfield bequests came to
the Smithsonian Institution in 1926.

Mineralogy and Petrology.—Dr. William F. Foshag’s important
description (with J. Gonzalez) of the famous Mexican volcano Paricu-
tin was published during the year. His chemical studies on the fuma-
rolic gases, and other phases of the volcano’s activities, were inter-
rupted by his untimely death. He had, however, prepared manuscript
on these phases and had recognized some new minerals in the subli-
mates. During the year Dr. Foshag served his second term as presi-
dent of the Section of Volcanology, Geochemistry and Petrology of
the American Geophysical Union.

Associate Curator E. P. Henderson continued his study of the chem-
ical composition, metallographic structure, and accessory minerals of
the iron meteorites. In continuation of these studies, Henderson and
Frank E. Holden conferred with colleagues and examined meteorite
collections at the University of New Mexico; University of Arizona;
Fort Hayes State College, Hayes, Kans.; University of Alabama; and
the American Meteorite Museum, Sedona, Ariz. Also examined were
private collections of H. L. Allan, Trinidad, Colorado; H. O. Stock-
well, Hutchinson, Kans.; and Oscar Monnig, Fort Worth, Tex.

Associate Curator George S. Switzer completed his work on the
origin of the ore-forming solutions of the Iron Springs district, Utah,
and submitted the manuscript to the United States Geological Survey.
He also completed a description of paradamite, a new zinc arsenate
from México. Work was continued at an accelerated pace on a long-
term research project involving a detailed study of the sulfate min-
erals. Dr. Switzer prepares, annually, a review of the diamond
industry, widely used by government agencies, commercial organiza-
tions, and others interested in the many phases of the diamond indus-
try. During the year, Dr. Switzer made a trip to San Francisco to
view the John B. Jago mineral collection, and to Harvard and Yale
Universities to confer with colleagues.

Mr. Frank L. Hess, honorary custodian of rare metals and rare
earths in the division of mineralogy and petrology since December
11, 1917, died August 29, 1955, in Washington, D. C., at the age of
83. Prior to 1925 Mr. Hess had been employed by the Geological
Survey, and from that time until his retirement in 1944, by the Bureau
of Mines.

40 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

Invertebrate Paleontology and Paleobotany.—Curator G. A.
Cooper completed his paper on the Permian of central Oregon, and
also a smaller paper on Tertiary brachiopods from Okinawa. His
paper on the revision of the Productoidea, in collaboration with Dr.
H. M. Muir-Wood of the British Museum, was presented for publica-
tion to the Geological Society of America in February. Dr. Cooper
is still sorting silicified Permian fossils from the Glass Mountains,
Texas, but anticipates that this will be finished in another year. The
sorted collection now numbers 300 drawers. He also prepared, photo-
graphed, and took notes on the King types from the Permian of the
Glass Mountains, an undertaking requiring more than 3 months.

Dr. Cooper and Museum Aide R. J. Main left Washington in early
August 1955, proceeding to central and eastern Oklahoma to collect
Mississippian and Pennsylvanian fossils. From there they went to
southwestern Missouri to collect Mississippian fossils and then on to
Kansas and Nebraska for Pennsylvanian and Permian fossils. On
the return to Washington they made a stop in northern Arkansas to
collect some unusual Mississippian brachiopods. The party returned
to Washington about mid-September. Many specimens hitherto not
represented in the collection were found.

In early May 1956, Dr. Cooper, with three young men from the
Geological Survey, visited Highland Mills, N. Y., for several days to
collect the unusual early Devonian faunas from sandstones just east
of the village.

Dr. A. R. Loeblich, Jr., and his collaborator, Dr. Helen Tappan
Loeblich, hope to complete early in 1957 their classification of the
smaller Foraminifera for the Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology.
In collaboration with Dr. Hans Bolli, Trinidad Leaseholds, Ltd., they
completed an important paper on the principal problems connected
with the study of planktonic Foraminifera. These Foraminifera, as
floaters, are widely distributed by ocean currents, a fact that makes
them an ideal age marker when found as a fossil. This paper is a
preliminary to the study of the planktonic Foraminifera of the world,
which Dr. Loeblich is starting with the financial support of the Hum-
ble Oil & Refining Co., the Carter Oil Co., and the California Research
Corp. He is also engaged in a study of the Recent Foraminifera of
Ifaluk Atoll, Caroline Islands, Pacific Ocean. This study is being
supported by the National Science Foundation.

In late April 1956, Dr. Loeblich, with Dr. Norman Sohl of the
Geological Survey, went to Vincentown, N. J., to collect samples of
Foraminifera from the Vincentown formation and associated strata.

Associate Curator David Nicol is working on pelecypods collected
by him from the Cretaceous (Glen Rose) formation in central Texas.
The collection is a large one, requiring considerable preparation.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 41

Late in July and early in August 1955, Dr. Nicol and R. J. Main
traveled to central Texas, in the vicinity of Burnet, to collect pelecy-
pods and samples for Foraminifera from the Cretaceous (Glen Rose)
formation.

Dr. R. S. Bassler, research associate in paleontology, continues his
studies of Ordovician cystoids.

Research Associate J. Brookes Knight, in collaboration with Dr.
Ellis Yochelson, of the Geological Survey, and Dr. Roger Batten,
of the University of Wisconsin, completed his two sections of the
Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology: The Paleozoic Gastropoda,
and a shorter contribution on the Monoplacophora.

Vertebrate Paleontology.—Curator C. L. Gazin has completed
study of two Paleocene mammalian faunas, one of Clarkforkian age
from the Almy formation in western Wyoming and the other of Tif-
fanian age from beds believed to be the Evanston formation in the
Fossil Basin of southwestern Wyoming. Both of these were charac-
terized by a surprisingly prominent representation of early primate
forms. He also completed a study of the upper Eocene mammalian
materials secured from the Badwater area in the northern part of the
Wind River Basin of Wyoming. The Badwater collections came
from the Tepee Trail formation and form one of the more significant
representations of upper Kocene life outside the Uinta Basin of Utah.
The research of Dr. Gazin also included a beginning on the study of
the materials secured from Pleistocene deposits associated with
springs in Panama. This concerns principally the rather extensive
remains of the giant ground sloth Hremotherium, a close relative of
the well-known Megatherium of South America. Study of this ma-
terial, together with an account of the expedition, is being made with
a view toward publication in the Appendix of the Smithsonian Annual
Report.

In connection with his research, in order to compare and study ma-
terials in the collections, Dr. Gazin in the fall and spring of this year
visited Princeton’s department of geology, Yale Peabody Museum,
and The American Museum of Natural History. The curator also
studied in some detail the Eocene mammalian collection from Sespe
formation and from the Poway conglomerate at the California Insti-
tute of Technology in Pasadena. During the year he continued to
serve as chairman of the Eocene subcommittee of the Committee of
the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, preparing a new “Nomencla-
ture and Correlation of North American Continental Tertiary.”
The results of this cooperative project, which have been accumulating
for several years, are to be published by the Geological Society of
America as a memoir. Also this year, the curator was appointed a
director of the American Geological Institute, representing the So-
ciety of Vertebrate Paleontology.

42 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

Associate Curator D. H. Dunkle, by the chemical etching method,
prepared specimens pertinent to his major research project, the Mes-
ozoic origins of the teleostean orders of fishes. An excellent series of
5 skulls and body parts of the Upper Jurassic fish Luisichthys, from
Cuba, have been exposed in minute osteological detail and together
with a serially sectioned skull of the same form previously reported
are serving as the basis of a complete morphological description. The
etching of specimens from the late Albian Mowry formation of north-
ern Wyoming has also progressed, with emphasis on the enchodontid
materials. A report on the first lower Permian occurrence of an
acanthodian fish from North America, in collaboration with the speci-
men’s discoverer Dr. Sergius Mamay of the Geological Survey, was
completed, as well as the manuscript for a semipopular Smithsonian
Institution publication on dinosaurs.

Associate Curator Dunkle and Exhibits Worker G. D. Guadagni
continued through July 1955 the search for fossil fish in the Creta-
ceous chalk beds of western Kansas, begun in May of that year. Ac-
companied by Exhibits Specialist F. L. Pearce, another month during
the fall was spent in Oklahoma and Texas seeking, by exchange and
fieldwork, certain Permian and Cretaceous reptiles and Cretaceous
fish. Dr. Dunkle also visited the Cleveland Museum of Natural His-
tory, where exhibit specimens of the Upper Devonian arthrodire
Dinichthys and the primitive pleuropterygian shark Cladoselache were
secured by exchange, and in May and June 1956 collected Lower and
Upper Devonian and Lower Mississippian fishes in Quebec and New
Brunswick. Dr. Dunkle continued to serve as Chairman of the Com-
mittee for Evaluation of Post-Doctoral Fellowships in Earth Sciences,
National Science Foundation.

Kngineering and Industries

Engineering.—Curator R. P. Multhauf continued the preparation
of a catalog of the metrology collection. A catalog of the instruments
for astronomy, geodesy, and surveying will be completed first. He
has in preparation a booklet on the power hall exhibit, which is to
open to the public in the fall of 1956, and submitted for publication a
short paper on early metallurgical chemistry. A catalog of the pho-
nograph collection has been undertaken by Dr. Multhauf and Leslie
J. Newville, and a checklist of American instrument makers is being
prepared under his supervision by Mrs. Mary W. Phillips. Mrs.
Phillips is also transferring to a card file a notebook record of instru-
ment makers throughout the world. These last two projects were
begun by Frank A. Taylor. In March and April 1956, Dr. Multhauf
visited scientific and technical museums in France, Italy, Germany,

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 43

Austria, Sweden, Holland, and England in connection with the plan-
ning for the Museum of History and Technology.

Associate Curator S. H. Oliver revised his catalog of the automobile
and motorcycle collection, which is being reprinted. His bulletin on
the first quarter century of steam locomotives in North America is
scheduled for publication in August 1956. A catalog of the American
section of the watercraft collection is being prepared for the division
of engineering by Howard I. Chapelle.

Crafts and Industries.—Assistant Curator Grace L. Rogers con-
tinued her study of the Scholfield wool-carding machine; revised her
manuscript on the history of the sewing machine; and conducted ex-
tensive research on the power loom invented by Edmund Cartwright,
a model of which will be built for the new textile exhibit hall.

The investigation by Curator W. N. Watkins of woods used in old
and rare furniture to determine their origins was confined largely to
supplying authentic samples of the woods in question to The Henry
Francis Du Pont Winterthur Museum which is pursuing a somewhat
parallel study.

Graphic Arts.—Work was continued by Curator Jacob Kainen on
a study of the color prints of John Baptist Jackson, whose technical
innovations and artistic worth have been in dispute for over two cen-
turies. This study, based on new evidence, will attempt an objective
appraisal of Jackson’s contributions and will also provide a complete
descriptive catalog of his work to replace the incomplete standard
catalog published in 1856. Mr. Kainen received a research grant from
the American Philosophical Society to gather additional data on Jack-
son in England and France during the fall of 1956.

Mr. Kainen continued research on the origins and development of
photomechanical processes. This work is expected to establish a basis
for dating early printed pictures and to provide a single reference
work for the diverse and complicated history of halftone printing.
It has become apparent that probably the best representation of early
halftones extant are in the national collection.

Associate Curator Alexander J. Wedderburn continued his long-
range project on the history of the camera. Because of the pressure
of exhibition planning, progress on this study was limited to revisions
made in previously compiled data. The objective of this project is to
produce a documented history of the mechanical development of the
camera from its origin in the camera obscura to the modern instru-
ment. Mr. Wedderburn visited the George Eastman House, Roches-
ter, N. Y., to inspect and select material which is to be presented to
the Museum, and also visited the American Museum of Photography
to study their collections and exhibition techniques.

Medicine and Public Health.—Curator George Griffenhagen com-
pleted his account of the historical evolution of pharmacy museums,

44 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

an account which includes a history of the division of medicine and
public health of the U. S. National Museum, a review of the types,
scope, and aims of pharmacy museums, and a bibliography. His
study of the history and evolution of such pharmaceutical equipment
as the mortar and pestle, pharmaceutical balance, pharmaceutical
weight, pill tile, spatula, pill machine, and suppository mold, has
led to the publication of a series of articles entitled “Tools of the
Apothecary” in the Journal of American Pharmaceutical Association,
Practical Pharmacy Edition. In cooperation with the American In-
stitute of the History of Pharmacy, a 35-mm. slide set and mimeo-
graphed lecture to accompany it, was prepared by Mr. Griffenhagen.
A manuscript, “The Ceramic Apothecary Jar, a Brief Evaluation,”
has been accepted for publication.

During the year Curator Griffenhagen was reelected Secretary of
the Section on Historical Pharmacy of the American Pharmaceutical
Association, a council member of the American Institute of the His-
tory of Pharmacy, and a member of the Board of Managers of the
Friends of Historical Pharmacy. He served as the official representa-
tive of the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy to the
National Archives and to the American Association of the History
of Medicine. He assisted the Medical Division of Sharp & Dohme
in documenting a near-point vision tester preserved in the Museum
of the Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia, and prepared a descrip-
tive brochure for distribution with a reproduction of this device.
Mr. Griffenhagen also prepared a series of articles on the history of
California pharmacy which appeared in the January to May issues
of the Northern California Drug News.

Research by visiting investigators.—Miss Matilda Pereira de
Sousa, Director, Museo de Arte Moderna, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
visited the division to obtain advice on setting up a print department
in this newly constructed institution. Advice was requested with
regard to the scope of the collections, storing facilities, and a list
of the significant American artists for possible inclusion in the collec-
tion. Mr. Kiyoshi Saito, a Japanese artist whose trip in this country
is sponsored by the American Council on Education, inquired about
American printmaking and print collections. He was particularly
interested in the variety of new technical processes being developed
by American printmakers. Bradley Smith and Miss Margaret Bassett
of Life Magazine studied the library and reference collection of the
section of photography to obtain data on Professor Samuel F. B.
Morse’s activities in photography for possible use in publication.
C. J. Picariello, Army Map Service, Relief Map Division, used re-
sources of the section of photography to determine the possibility of
utilizing photographic sculpture processes in the making of relief

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 45

maps. Wilbur H. Hunter, Jr., Director of the Peale Museum, visited
to obtain information regarding the history of the magic lantern.

Miss Virginia Parslow, crafts expert from The Farmers’ Museum
in Cooperstown, N. Y., devoted two days to searching the textile col-
lections to verify the use of draw looms in America in the first quarter
of the 19th century.

Assistance was given to Gordon Saltar, The Henry Francis Du Pont
Winterthur Museum, in his research, paralleling that of the division,
on woods used in old and rare furniture to determine origins. During
the year 157 authentic wood samples of the ashes, beeches, birches,
maples, oaks, red pines, yellow pines, and other genera having counter-
parts in Europe, were forwarded to other institutions.

History

Military and Naval History.—Mendel L. Peterson, acting head
curator, continued his study of the marking and decoration of early
cannon, examining the collections in the Bahamas, Haiti, Cuba, New
York State, and Canada. Attention was also given to the materials
recovered in 1953 and 1954 from the wreck sites of the Spanish treasure
fleet of 1733. More recently Mr. Peterson was consulted in regard to
the discovery of a treasure of gold and emeralds at a shipwreck site
off Bermuda. The materials indicated that the wrecked ship was
French with Spanish loot on board and that the ship sank between
1592 and 1610.

Civil History.—Associate Curator Margaret Brown Klapthor con-
tinued with the preparation of an annotated catalog of the Washing-
tor, collections, although the demands of committee work and
exhibition planning have hampered substantial progress. In Septem-
ber 1955 Mrs. Klapthor, in response to a request from the National
Trust for Historic Preservation and the New York State Historical
Association, participated as a member of the faculty in the short course
on Historic Housekeeping at Cooperstown, N. Y. This course was
offered to help administrators and curators of historic house museums
and small local museums solve problems of exhibition, preservation,
and interpretation of the objects in their care. Mrs. Klapthor also
participated in a panel discussion at “Belle Meade,” an historic house
museum in Nashville, Tenn., during the annual meeting in October
1955 of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Charles G. Dorman, museum aide, spent several days in Philadelphia
studying the insurance inventories of the Pennsylvania Company for
Insurance of Houses Against Fire (Greentree Insurance Co.), the
firm which carried the policy on the Executive Mansion in Philadel-
phia during the administration of President George Washington, to
secure information necessary for the planning of the Martha Washing-

46 U. 8. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1956

ton room in the First Ladies Hall of the new Museum of History and
Technology.

Numismatics.—Associate Curator S. M. Mosher continued his re-
search on the multiple thalers of Brunswick-Luneburg and virtually
completed this paper. He also continued his study of American die
sinkers and engravers. Mr. Mosher’s death in February 1956 removed
one of this country’s leading numismatists. Asa recognized expert on
practically all phases of numismatics, Mr. Mosher was for ten years
editor of the “Numismatist.”

Philately—Associate Curator Franklin R. Bruns, Jr., continued
his research on the United States Revenue essays and proofs, the Old
Bay Line, and postal carrying devices. Mr. Bruns was appointed a
director of the Philatelic Literature Association, and was awarded
a medal by the Collectors Club of New York for his outstanding
contributions.

Research by visiting investigators.—Special assistance was given
to Peter Floud, keeper of circulation, Victoria and Albert Museum,
England, who desired detailed descriptions and photographs of the
printed textiles in the Copp collection. Mrs. Curzon Dobell, The
McCord Museum, McGill University, Montreal, Canada, studied our
methods of storing and preserving objects of a historical nature. As-
sistance in the use of the divisional libraries and files was given to
investigators from the Office of the Chief of Military History, De-
partment of the Army; the Division of Naval History, Department of
the Navy; the General Services Administration; the United States
Marine Corps; the Naval Historical Foundation; and private or-
ganizations. The division of numismatics continued to advise the
Bureau of the Mint on matters relating to gold coins and other ques-
tions including the history of coinage. The study of the Lowenstein
Bolivia airmail collection by Albert F. Kunze resulted in the publi-
cation of an article, “The Bolivian Graf Zeppelin Stamps,” in the
American Philatelic Congress book (pp. 131-136, October 1955).
