To the Trustees and Members of The American Museum of Natural History : It is the sad duty of the President to open this report with the record of the death, on the morning of January 22, 1908, of Morris Ketchum Jesup, one of the original incorporators of the Museum in 1868, for forty years devoted to its promotion and welfare and for twenty-seven years its President. The minute of the Board of Trustees, adopted at the Annual Meeting, February 10, 1908, is as follows: As Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History, we record with profound sorrow the loss we have sustained in the death of MORRIS KETCHUM JESUP As President for the last twenty-seven years, Mr. Jesup has guided the development of the Museum with rare ability and devotion and has become united to us by many warm ties of personal friendship. He carried into the office all of his finest qualities of character; he was sanguine, constructive, deter- mined, trustful, appreciative and most kindly disposed toward those closely associated with him in the administration of the Museum. We realize now, even more clearly perhaps than when he was actually with us, his keen patriotism and con- trolling sense of the duties of citizenship, his idealism and his faith in the future development of our city and country. A review of our minutes shows that Mr. Jesup was one of the original incorporators of the Museum, December 30, 1868; that he was elected a Trustee, February 1, 1869; that he became a Fellow in perpetuity, February 13, 1871; that he was elected First Vice-President, May 10, 1880; that he was elected President, February 14, 1881. He was an active member of all committees from the inception of the Museum, including the committee appointed to select the present site which has proved to be most advantageous. He was always actively engaged in furthering the interests of the Museum at the State T5 16 Report of the President. Capital, with the various City authorities and particularly in conferences with the Mayor and with the President of the Park Board. For many years he visited the Museum several days each week, and to within the last few years attended to all the details of administration. This brief review of his official connection with us gives little idea of the real character and magnitude of his services; to attempt to record the history of his administration would be to write the history of the institution since 1881, when his name first appears as President. Of all the many centers of his activities for public good the Museum was most constantly in his mind, closest to his heart and the recipient of his most generous gifts. Succeed- ing Mr. John David Wolfe and Mr. Robert L. Stuart, he assumed the presidency of the Museum at atime when the first impulse and enthusiasm of its establishment had slackened somewhat and it was evident that some one must assume the chief care and responsibility of leadership, financial, adminis- trative and constructive. His first annual report announced his determination to establish a collection showing both the natural history and the economic features of the woods and trees of North America. In 1897 he established the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, to maintain explorations in British Columbia, Alaska and Siberia and to publish the results of these explorations, the purpose of which was to determine, if possible, the migrations of the human races between the new and old worlds. He also maintained expeditions extending over a period of several years for the purpose of collecting important data regarding the vanishing tribes of North American Indians. He sup- ported the Lumholtz expedition to northern Mexico (1890). In 1895 he subscribed to the Cope Collection of North American fossil mammals, and in 1902 he presented to the Museum the Cope Collection of fossil amphibians, reptiles and fishes. From time to time he contributed large sums for the development of the mineral collections. His lesser gifts are too numerous to mention, but we may single out among the more recent the New Zealand and Rio Negro ethnological and zoological collections. One of his most beautiful and charac- ‘teristic gifts was a series of marble portraits of distinguished American men of science (1906). In 1904 he especially urged upon the Trustees the importance of raising the Permanent Endowment Fund and contributed $200,000 therefor. There were two grandly distinctive features of Mr. Jesup’s plans and of his administration. Report of the President. 17 First, his desire to popularize science through the arrange- ment and exhibition of collections in such a simple and attrac- tive manner as to render them intelligible to all visitors. To the same end of popular education he favored Sunday opening and the opening of the Museum evenings in order that work- ing men and others closely occupied during the day might attend. The establishment of the public lectures under Pro- fessor Albert S. Bickmore, bringing the Museum into closer connection with the work of the State Department of Public Instruction, was one of the first features of his administration, and led to the general institution of public courses of lectures. He finally favored and put into practice the free opening of the Museum on every day of the week. The second great feature of his administration was his recognition that at the foundation of popular science is pure science, and his determination, which increased with advanc- ing years, that the Museum should be as famous for its scien- tific researches and explorations as for its popular exhibitions and educational work. His faithin the beneficent influence of science and in the work of scientific men was most remarkable in a man trained and educated solely for business. During the year 1907, the last year of his administration, with his sanc- tion the Museum devoted nearly $80,000 to the development of natural science through exploration, research and publica- tion. More than a quarter of a century ago, with prophetic vision, he saw that this Museum under proper direction would develop and finally become a center for scientific work, an effective agency for education, an instrument for the improve- ment of the people and an index of the culture of the com- munity. To these ends he strove; and his simple statement announced at the conclusion of his labors, ‘‘I believe it to be to-day one of the most effective agencies which exist in the City of New York for furnishing education, innocent amusement and instruction to the people,” was an expression of personal con- viction in which we most heartily concur. While we are mindful that his leadership has resulted in the establishment of this splendid institution, and that his noble bequest provides for the continuation of work already begun, we do not forget the responsibilities that his administration has imposed upon us. It is with regard for him, and with respect and cordial sympathy for the measures leading to public betterment which were clearly and wisely expressed in the terms of his bequest, that we are encouraged to assume the important obligations thus imposed. 18 Report of the President. The Museum has received testimonials of appreciation and sympathy from scientific institutions and associations both at home and abroad, including especially the following: Scientific Staff of The American Museum of Natural History. New York Academy of Sciences. Audubon Society of the State of New York. American Ethnological Society. Linnean Society of New York. Beaty Arctic) Club: Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, II. Carnegie Museum, Department of the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, Penn. Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft, Frankfurt a/Main, Germany. Universidad de la Habana, Cuba. These have been appropriately printed and distributed to learned bodies at home and abroad and to patrons and friends of the Museum. The following passages are from an appre- ciation of Mr. Jesup’s services, which appeared in the leading American scientific journal, Sczence: It may be said without reserve that Mr. Jesup was as full of enthusiasm for, and faith in, the cause of pure research as he was in that of popular education. During 1907, the last year of his administration, and with his sanction, the Museum spent at least $80,000 for strictly scientific work. It is im- portant to make this statement because the extent of the ac- tivities of the Museum in the field of pure science is not so widely known as it should be. Two years ago the Trustees of the Museum inves Mr. Jesup to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of his presi- dency of the institution. A loving cup beautifully designed in gold was presented to him, with inscriptions and symbols in allusion to those branches of science in which he had taken special interest. On one face of the cup reference was made to the forestry of North America; on another, his interest in vertebrate paleontology was indicated and his gift of the Cope Collection of fishes, amphibians and reptiles was mentioned; on the third face was a design symbolizing the work of the Report of the President. 19 Jesup North Pacific expeditions, the last and greatest of the enterprises toward which his efforts were directed. Two years have elapsed since this memorable meeting, at which the three surviving founders of the Museum, J. Pierpont Morgan, Joseph H. Choate and Mr. Jesup were present. During the past year, because of failing strength, Mr. Jesup has not been able to take an active part in the manage- ment of the Museum, but its welfare has been one of the chief subjects of his thought and its progress one of the chief sources of happiness to him during his last illness. BEQUEST TO THE MUSEUM. Mr. Jesup in his will left a noble bequest to the Museum which will enable the Trustees to carry on those lines of work in which he was especially interested during his lifetime. The terms of the bequest are peculiarly interesting because they set forth fully his views as to the relations of the public and private support of the Museum; they are as follows: I give and bequeath to The American Museum of Natural History in the City of New York One million dollars ($1,000,- 000), to constitute a permanent fund, the principal to be in- vested and kept invested, and the income to be applied and appropriated to the general purposes of the Museum, other than alterations, additions, repairs or erection of buildings, the purchase of land or the payment of salaries, or for labor or for services of any kind, ordinarily considered under the item of maintenance. I wish to explain that I have bequeathed this sum of One million dollars ($1,000,000) to The American Museum of Natural History, and that I have made for it the other be- quests and provisions: contained in my Will because of the fact that I have been identified with the Museum from its Act of Incorporation to the present time. I have been its President since 1882. Since that time I have devoted a great part of my life, my time, my thoughts and my attention to its interests. I believe it to be to-day one of the most effective agencies which exist in The City of New York for furnishing education, innocent amusement and instruction to the people. It can be immensely increased in its usefulness by increasing its powers. The City of New York, under its contract with the Museum, is to provide buildings and to maintain them, but the buildings must be filled with specimens. This means that for the purpose, the necessary amount must come from 20 Report of the President. individual donors. It is in order that the means for this pur- pose may be helped, as the Museum must grow in additional buildings by the City, and in view of its great possibilities for the future, that I make for the Museum the bequests and pro- visions contained in my Will, relying upon the Trustees of the Museum to do their share, by looking after the invest- ment of the funds, the use of its income and by carefully watching over, and wisely planning for the best interests of this great institution. STATUS OF THE MUSEUM. Under Mr. Jesup’s administration, through his own gifts and with the generous codperation of his fellow trustees, the Museum has gained a strong and sound foundation for its future line of development. A few comparative figures will be instructive. In 1881, the year Mr. Jesup assumed the presi- dency, the City Maintenance Fund was $10,000; it is now $160,000. The Permanent Endowment Fund was not then established; to-day it is $2,047,750, including Mr. Jesup’s bequest. The Special Fund gifts of that year were $17,750; for 1907 they amounted to $110,000. The Museum building has thus far cost the city $4,838,000, a generous sum in itself but small in comparison with that often expended on public buildings. Owing to the wise expenditure of this fund, a total floor space of 438,859 square feet has been secured, and a total exhibition space of 262,236 square feet. ‘This is to be com- pared with the 164,850 square feet of exhibition space in one of the best known national institutions abroad. The total contributions to the collections and explorations of the Museum—since its foundation—amount to about $3,000,000. These gifts added to the endowment amount to approximately $5,000,000. These material strides are no more important than the growth of the scientific and public educational spirit which pervades the Museum, the wide geographic extent of its exploration and the reputation it has gradually earned of being one of the foremost centers for the promotion of natural history. “MAV] IVULNYD NI IVNASUY AHL LLg1-oLgi ‘wnosny ey} Jo oWOT] SIT ~~ Report of the President. 21 We now turn from this retrospect of a great administration to the operations of the past year. I. ADMINISTRATION, BUILDING, EDUCATION. ADMINISTRATION.—Perhaps the most important change in the administration of the Museum has been the abolition of pay-days and the opening of the exhibition halls free to the public every day in the year. Since the founding of the Museum —now nearly forty years ago—certain days each week have been reserved for Members, pupils of the public schools, special students and artists. While this reservation was justi- fiable when the Museum was smaller, we should not forget that the Museum is a municipal institution, it is primarily for the public, and any regulation which interferes with the general enjoyment of its privileges is contrary to the spirit of its founders and opposed to the wishes of its supporters. This action was taken in the belief that such a step would meet with the emphatic approval of our Members, for we were convinced that those who have contributed and are contribut- ing towards the support of this institution are not actuated by selfish motives; they contribute because they believe in the work that the Museum is doing and because they derive pleas- ure from being associated with it. Only words of approval have been received. It is gratifying to report on the extension of the cordial relations existing between the American Museum and sister institutions at home and abroad. In the spring the Museum participated in a celebration commemorating the zooth anni- versary of the birth of Linnzus. In August it entertained the members of the Seventh International Congress of Zodlogy, among whom were representatives of many leading institutions of the old and new worlds. During the year the Director made two trips abroad for the purpose of arranging with other institutions for exchanges and purchases. His visits have materially strengthened the cordial relations existing between the Museum and scientific societies in Europe. 22 Report of the President. BUILDING.—In spite of many delays excellent progress has been made by the contractors in the construction of the new wing on Columbus Avenue (South Section of the West Facade). About ninety-five per cent. has been completed and, if the financial conditions permit, the building will be finished early in 1908. The ruling of the City authorities, whereby the cost of new construction and the building of new cases can be charged to the building fund, has resulted in the making of many needed improvements. Under this arrangement fourteen fire-proof storage rooms have been constructed in the attic of the North Wing, occupying space which heretofore has been practically useless; a hand elevator has been installed, making the storage rooms accessible, and the backs for ten of the habitat groups have been made. At relatively little cost a trench has been dug connecting the Power House with the new wing and providing for the pipes and wires necessary to heat and light this part of the building. The usual amount of repair work has been attended to, including .the pointing up of the South )Hacade ime reconstruction of several sewer lines, the making of new connections with the water-mains, the installation of ad- ditional fire pumps, the construction of storage cases, cab- inets, etc., and the repainting of 179,890 square feet of wall space. ATTENDANCE.—There has been an increase in the attend- ance of visitors of more than twelve per cent. The number of visitors is well beyond the half-million mark, the total being 537,994. |The) children’s lectures, were attendedwian 26,312 pupils, while 2,233 were present at the special lectures given by Mrs. Roesiler. |The attendance, at) the) ume lecture courses was 35,068. The Members will be pleased to learn’ the extent to which the Museum isjusediiby teachers and classes, not alone of the public and private schools of the City, but by many from neighboring towns and cities. Report of the President. 23 PUBLIC EDUCATION. DEPARTMENT OF PuBLic INSTRUCTION.—There has been an ever increasing demand for the nature-study collections which the Museum loans to the public schools. To satisfy all these requests, it has been necessary to procure new material and to prepare additional collections. There are now 450 cabinets available for this purpose. The collections have been supplied to 325 schools, and the data furnished by the teachers show that 725,000 children have profited thereby. The methods of distribution have been greatly facilitated through the purchase of an electric delivery wagon. This method of supplying nature-study material to the schools has attracted considerable attention in other States, and several foreign educators have critically examined our collections and methods of distribution with a view to estab- lishing a similar system in their own Cities. The growth of the Museum during the last few years has made it possible to accommodate large bodies of school children without interfering materially with the use of the exhibition halls by adults. Special students are now given laboratory facilities well removed from visitors, and artists continue to have every encouragement for their work in private rooms or in portions of the gallery temporarily partitioned off for their use. Early in the year Mrs. Agnes Roesler was appointed as an instructor to meet Members and their friends, also classes of school children, and to accompany them through the halls, explaining the meaning of the various exhibits. The success of this personal instruction has been marked from the first.- Three thousand persons have presented Members’ cards, and Mrs. Roesler also has met regularly classes from the Normal College and given them illustrated lectures and laboratory instruction. The results obtained have proved so satisfactory that additional instructors will soon be needed. Another important step in making the Museum of more practical educational value in the community has been the placing of exhibits in some of the branches of the New York 24 Report of the President. Public Library. Several collections have been arranged for this work, among which may be mentioned an Eskimo and a ‘‘Hiawatha” exhibit. Under advice from Miss Moore, the Supervisor of Children’s Libraries, these collections have been placed temporarily in certain branch libraries. The results indicate that this work should be extended. As usual the photographic work has been in charge of this department. Much routine work has been accomplished, which includes the making of many negatives and prints for publication and study, the supplying of photographs to news- papers and magazines and the cataloguing and filing of nega- tives, photographs and lantern slides. The educational work of the Museum has been further extended by means of the lecture courses, consisting of more than too lectures. These include (1) a spring and a fall course to Members, (2) a special lecture to Members by Commander R. E. Peary, (3) a spring and a fall course for pupils of the public schools, (4) free lectures on public holidays and (5) three courses given in conjunction with the Board of Educa- tion of the City of New York. The following lectures to Members, relating to the field work which the Museum has done, were delivered by members of the scientific staff: LECTURES TO MEMBERS.

The lecture halls and conference rooms have been in constant demand by scientific societies and other organiza- tions for various meetings. Whenever possible, and when consistent with the purposes of the Museum, these requests 28 Report of the President. have been granted. As usual the New York Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies have held their sessions at the Museum. In the winter, under the auspices of the American Institute of Social Service, an exposition of devices for preventing acci- dents and for saving human life was held in the Siberian Hall; and later the International Kindergarten Union held an exhibi- tion in the same hall, at which the results of kindergarten work were shown and kindergarten methods demonstrated. The New York Library Club enjoyed the use orm om Auditorium for its annual meeting. The same is true of the Society for the Protection of the Adirondacks. The following is a list of the societies and organizations that were the guests of the Museum during the year 1907: American Bison Society. | American Ethnological Society. American Institute of Social Service. American Psychological Association, New York Branch. Anglers’ Conference. Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks. Audubon Society of the State of New York. Classes from Normal College. Classes from the Young Women’s Christian Association. International Kindergarten Union. Linnzean Society of New York. National Association of Audubon Societies for the Protection of Wild Birds and Animals. Natural Science Committee of the Associate Alumnz of the Normal College, New York City. New York Academy of Sciences. New York Entomological Society. New York Library Club. New York Microscopical Society. New York Mineralogical Club. New York Naturalists’ Club. Physics Club of New York City. Seventh International Congress of Zodlogy. Torrey Botanical Club. West Side Natural History Society.

HAVE BEEN RECEIVED DURING 1907. Report of the President. 29 New York Zodlogical Society and the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in celebrating the 2ooth anniversary of the birth of Linnzus, the great Swedish naturalist. Exercises were held at the Museum onthe morning of May 23, at which commemorative addresses were made and communications read from scientific societies both at home and abroad. A special exhibit showing the animals known to Linnzus was also prepared. Sessions were held in the afternoon at the Botanical Garden in the Bronx, and a bronze tablet was unveiled at the Linnzus bridge. The Zodlogical Park was then inspected, and evening receptions were held at the New York Aquarium and at the Brooklyn Institute. During the visit of the members of the Seventh Interna- tional Congress of Zoédlogy to New York, they were entertained at the Museum. The exhibition halls and laboratories were thrown open to their inspection and luncheon was served in the Loubat Hall of Mexican Archeology. In the evening an informal reception was tendered to the visiting scientists and several of the curators spoke of the recent field explorations of the Museum, illustrating their remarks with lantern slides. II. COLLECTIONS, EXPLORATIONS AND EXHIBITIONS. A geographic summary of the territory reached by all the Museum expeditions or from which large collections have been received is shown in the World Map on the opposite page. During the past year the policy of exploration has been extended. In connection with its several scientific depart- ments, the Museum has sent representatives or expeditions to the following States and foreign countries: In Onited States. ALASKA, Lone ISLAND. NEW JERSEY. FLORIDA. NEw YorRK. NEBRASKA, SouTH DAKOTA. WYOMING. In Foreign Countries. CANADA, EGYPT. KOREA. BAHAMA ISLANDS. GERMANY. PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. CHINA, ITALY. SWITZERLAND. 30 Report of the President. These explorations are sustained very largely through the gifts of special funds. Altogether, during the past three years, $134,915.37 has been subscribed for these special purposes and for the mounting of specimens brought to the Museum. MINERALS. DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY AND CONCHOLOGY.—Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan has again evidenced his interest in the development of the Gem Collection by his gift of a particu- larly fine example of crystallized gold, also of a jade boulder said to be the largest piece known. Several important additions have been made to the general mineral collections through the aid of the Bruce Fund, as noted in the accession list. Progress has been made in cataloguing the Bement Collec- tion and this work is about half finished. LIVING MAMMALS AND BIRDS. DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY. — Practically all the mammal collections have been catalogued, and similar work on the bird collections is well advanced. The accessions for the year were 824 mammals and 2,445 birds and included a number of very important additions. Through the generosity of Mr. George S. Bowdoin, the Museum secured the two fine examples of the North Atlantic Right Whale, which were captured on the south shore of Long Island. A complete set of whalebone was taken with one of the whales, and it is the intention to mount this specimen with the whalebone in place. The Cetacea Collection has been further enriched by a number of scale models of various species of whales, executed by Mr. James L. Clark. Mr. Roy C. Andrews has been transferred to this depart- ment and is making excellent progress with the work. He superintended the construction of the life-size model of the Sulphurbottom Whale and also had charge of the preparation of the Amagansett whales. Report of the President. Bu The collection made by Messrs. Richard Tjader and Her- bert Lang in British East Africa, and presented in part by Mr. Samuel Thorne, comprises 178 mammals and 232 birds and includes large series of many species of antelopes and monkeys and fine specimens of such large mammals as the giraffe, rhinoceros, wart-hog, lion, etc. Another noteworthy addition was three specimens of the very rare Solenodon paradoxus, secured through the personal contribution of Mr. Morris K. Jesup. The mammals recently collected by Commander Peary in the Arctic have been presented to the Museum by the Peary Arctic Club. This collection contains a large series of musk-oxen and of the Peary White Caribou, the latter now for the first time represented by complete specimens. As usual a number of valuable animals has been received from the New York Zodlogical Society and from the Central Park Menagerie, and we gratefully acknowledge the many courtesies thus extended. Besides supervising the routine work of the department, the Curator has edited the Bulletin, which forms a volume of more than one thousand pages. He has also carried on his scientific studies and has published three papers. Progress has been made in the preparation of habitat groups of North American birds, which have been provided by the contributors to the North American Ornithology Fund. The following were contributors to this fund during the year. John L. Cadwalader. F. Aug. Schermerhorn. H. B. Hollins. Mrs. Harriet L. Schuyler. Mrs. Morris K. Jesup. Mrs. John B. Trevor. Henry Clay Pierce. Mrs. Robert Winthrop. Three new habitat groups, namely, the Wild Turkey, Condor, and Egret or White Heron, have been finished and the work on several others is welladvanced. To continue his field studies and to procure material for additional groups, Mr. Chapman made two expeditions during the year. In the spring he visited Florida in search of the ivory-billed wood- pecker; the Bahamas, where he collected and studied the 32 Report of the President. man-of-war bird and the booby, and South Carolina, where he secured data and material for the White Heron Group, one of the most attractive yet constructed. The cruise among the Bahama Islands was made in the ‘‘ Physalia,” the boat of the Carnegie Laboratory at Dry Tortugas, in command of Dr. Alfred G. Mayer, who personally accompanied Mr. Chapman and facilitated his work in every way possible. In South Carolina the breeding haunts of the egrets were found on the private preserves of the Santee Club. Mr. Chapman was greatly assisted by the officers of the Club, especially by Mr. Ludwig A. Beckman, the Chief Warden, who placed con- veyances, boats, etc., at his disposal and contributed much to the success of the expedition. : In this connection we wish to acknowledge the many courtesies extended to the Museum party both by the Carnegie Institution and the Santee Club. During the summer months Mr. Chapman, accompanied by Louis Agassiz Fuertes as artist, went to Saskatchewan to study the nesting habits of the wild goose, and later the Canadian Rockies were visited, where specimens were col- lected and studies made for the Ptarmigan Group. LIVING REPTILES AND FISHES. The Assistant Curator, Mr. Roy W. Miner, has devoted much attention to the development of the fish collections. The corridor forming the approach to the laboratories in the North Wing has been assigned to the department, and here the fishes have been installed. The exhibition collection com- prises mounted specimens, casts and colored plates of the various families of fishes, which are accompanied by full descriptive labels and form a good nucleus for an adequate representation of this group of interesting and useful animals. EXTINCT MAMMALS, BIRDS, REPTILES AND FISHES. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALZONTOLOGY.—lIn prep- aration for the visit of the International Congress of Zodlo- gists, in the month of August, many of the collections of au ples paar TRACHODON. The Gigantic Duck-billed Dinosaur of Cretaceous Time Report of the President. 33 mammals and reptiles were rearranged and several new speci- mens were placed on exhibition, also a new system of labeling was introduced, thereby making the collections more intelligi- ble both from an educational and scientific point of view. The entire collections of extinct vertebrates in this depart- ment contain about 20,000 specimens. Among the most im- portant additions to the exhibition series were the skeletons of the Carnivorous Dinosaur A/losaurus, and of the Duck- billed Dinosaur Zrachodon, both specimens of which are from the Cope Collection presented by Mr. Morris K. Jesup. In mounting these skeletons an attempt has been made to represent characteristic features of the life-history and envi- ronment of these extinct monsters, so far as they are posi- tively known. Thus the AMosaurus is mounted in the atti- tude of devouring the carcass of Brontosaurus. One Trachodon skeleton has been mounted representing the characteristic attitude of the animal when feeding; a second, nearly ready for exhibition, represents the animal looking out for danger. These two skeletons will be combined on a base made to illus- trate the plants, shells, etc., among which these beasts lived. The Warren Mastodon, presented by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, has been remounted and attracts much attention. Among other specimens which have been prepared and added to the collections may be mentioned the skull and jaws of Tyrannosaurus, a portion of a skeleton of MVaosaurus, or the Ship-Lizard, part of a skeleton of Camarasaurus, the Shawan- gunk Mastodon skull and the skeleton of the Arab horse Paar.’ Through the generosity of Mr. Morris K. Jesup, an expedi- tion was sent into the Faytiim desert of northern Egypt under the leadership of Curator Osborn, who was accompanied by Messrs. Granger and Olsen of the department staff, to search for the fossil remains of the ancestors of the elephant. This resulted in the discovery of a number of animals previously unknown to science. In all more than 500 specimens were secured, of which the skulls, jaws, palates, etc., of J/@rithe- rium and Paleomastodon, illustrating the early stages of the ancestry of the elephant, are most important. The collection 34 Report of the President. also contains incomplete skulls and parts of skeletons of the rare Arsinoitherium. Professor Osborn’s work was greatly facilitated by the Egyptian Government, through Lord Cromer and Captain H. G. Lyons, Director of the Survey of Egypt, and the courtesies extended are gratefully acknowl- edged. During the summer Mr. L. S. Quackenbush was sent to Alaska to search for mammoth remains. He collected con- siderable material and secured data of importance in carrying out future work in this region. This expedition was made possible through the generosity of Mr. Percy R. Pyne and Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr. The third expedition was to the fossil beds of South Dakota and Wyoming, in charge of Mr. Albert Thomson, and was aided through subscriptions of Mr. Frank K. Sturgis and Mr. Arthur Curtiss James. An interesting collection was obtained. Noteworthy acquisitions, through gift and purchase, are a remarkably fine skeleton of an /chthyosaurus, with the fins and tail well preserved and showing the outlines of the body, and a skeleton of Hesperornis, one of the toothed birds of the Cretaceous Period. A fossil horse from the Lower Miocene has been presented by Mr. Frank K. Sturgis. In addition to the unusual amount of work put into the exhibition hall, the Curator and his staff have devoted consid- erable time to research. EXTINCT FISHES. Under the administration of Professor Bashford Dean, assisted by Dr. Louis Hussakof, this collection is rapidly growing in scientific importance and is attracting increasing public interest. Through the aid of a fund subscribed annually by Mr. Cleve- land H. Dodge, it has been possible to make a number of additions to the collections and to carry on field work. The exhibition collection of fossil fishes has been rearranged and new material added, including colored casts representing Report of the President. 35 typical forms and examples of extant species. The most notable specimen mounted was the 7Z7tanzichthys, the veritable monster of the Devonian Age. Important work has been accomplished in classifying, labeling, arranging and catalogu- ing the study collections, in which there are no less than 200 types and 300 figured specimens. An illustrated catalogue of the collection of type specimens has been prepared. LIVING INVERTEBRATES—SYNOPTIC COLLECTION. DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—So many col- lections are placed in the custody of this department that the mere routine work of cataloguing and preserving the new material has taken considerable of the time of the Curator and his assistants; nevertheless, several important installations have been made. The collections in the Synoptic Hall are being developed. The most important addition is a series of models showing the larval, pupal and adult stages (both male and female) of the Malarial Mosquito. The models, which have been prepared by Dr. B. E. Dahlgren, represent the insect enlarged 75 diam- eters or more than 400,000 times its normal bulk. These are further supplemented by a series of twenty models showing the malarial organism and its development in the human blood and in the tissues of the mosquito. Dr. Dahlgren also has completed, or has in preparation, a number of models which will greatly improve the synoptic collection. Dr. Wheeler spent the summer abroad, where he continued his studies of the Formicide, did collecting and effected many exchanges. He visited the Azores, Gibraltar, Italy and various parts of Switzerland and Germany. From all these localities he obtained important collections of ants. While in Switzerland he was the guest of Professor Auguste Forel, the most eminent of living myrmecologists, who presented to the Museum a large and valuable collection of ants, consisting of 3,519 specimens and representing 1,385 species, of which 788 are types. 36 Report of the President. A large number of fossil ants has been collected by Pro- — fessor T. D. A. Cockerell at Boulder, Colorado. The Curator has published six papers during the year and other experts have published eight papers based on material in our collections, making a total of fourteen con- tributions which have been issued by the department during the year. LIVING MOLLUSCAN SHELLS. DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY AND CONCHOLOGY.—Atten- tion has been given to cataloguing the shell collections. Doubleday, Page & Company, through their representatives, have made extensive use of these collections for study and illustration, the data secured to be used in their forthcoming book on shells. INSECTS. DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.—The mere mounting and labeling of the new material received in this department has consumed considerable time. In all 9,225 specimens have been treated in this way. In addition 3,500 specimens have been numbered and catalogued. The material collected by the Curator in the Black Mountains of North Carolina, during 1906, has been assorted and a large portion of it identified. Certain of the exhibition collections have been rearranged, and all have been thoroughly cleaned. An observation hive, containing a swarm of Carnolinian bees, has attracted much attention in the exhibition hall. The most noteworthy acquisition was an extremely valu- able collection of Central American beetles, comprising more than 4,000 specimens and representing 1,679 species, presented to the Museum by Dr. F. D. Godman, the well-known scientist and editor of Biologia Centrali-Americana. ‘The collection is of unusual importance, as it is part of the material upon which these publications are based. Twelve papers, relating to the insects in our collection, have been published by the Curator or other entomologists. THE Musrum, North Transept. The first portion of the Museum and a part of Manhattan Square as they appeared in 1877-1889 ee Report of the President. 39 EXTINCT INVERTEBRATES. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALZON- TOLOGY.—The Curator and his assistant have continued the cataloguing and labeling of the extensive collection of inverte- brate fossils. Also certain of the exhibition collections have been thoroughly cleaned and improved. Among the acquisitions should be mentioned a collection of fossils from Grant Land, presented by Messrs. C. A. Ward- well and Charles Percy, both members of the recent Peary Expedition. Mr. Walter Granger and Mr. Barnum Brown also have made valuable contributions to the department. The Curator has prepared three articles which are appear- ing in the Bulletin. The principal portion of the time of Dr. Hovey, the Associate Curator, has been devoted to the preparation and editing of the American Museum Journal and of the Museum series of Guide Leaflets. This journal has been issued monthly from October to May, instead of quarterly, as formerly, and the Guide Leaflets are now issued independent of it. Dr. Hovey has also assisted in the Members’ lectures, the holiday lectures and the children’s courses. He has prepared and published one article in the Bulletin and a Guide Leaflet to the meteorite collection in the foyer. EIVING AND EXTINCT RACES OF MEN. DEPARTMENT OF ETHNOLOGY.—The collections in this department have been greatly enriched through the addition of new material of great scientific value and of much general interest. Early in the year the Director opened negotiations with the authorities of the Congo Free State, and arrange- ments were made whereby the Belgian Government is to pre- sent to the Museum extensive ethnological collections illus- trating the customs, culture and development of the natives of the Congo. Three shipments, containing more than 2,000 specimens, have already been received. A unique collection of tattooed heads of the Maori, the natives of New Zealand—a collection of great scientific 38 Report of the President. interest and importance — was presented by Mr. Morris K. Jesup. By gift also of Mr. Jesup the department received a re- markably fine collection of feather-work from Rio Negro in South America. It is through the generosity of Messrs. Percy R. Pyne, Cleveland H. Dodge and Arthur Curtiss James that the Museum has secured a large ethnological collection made by Mr. Richard Douglas in Barotseland, South Africa. This col- lection consists of about 5,000 specimens illustrating the bas- ketry, weaving, pottery, musical instruments, weapons, etc., of the natives. This gift is especially acceptable, as our collections heretofore have been deficient in African material. Under the direction of Mr. Harlan I. Smith, a number of changes were made in the archeological collections and sev- eral loan exhibits were prepared for use in the children’s rooms of the public libraries. In June Miss M. L. Kissel was appointed to take up the investigation and care of the basketry collection now in the Museum. She has examined and determined the technique of a large part of the collection and, in connection with this work, has visited museums in Chicago, Washington and Philadelphia. The results of her investigations will be published later. During the absence of the Curator much of the administra- tive work has devolved upon Mr. Charles W. Mead. In this capacity he has rendered efficient service and has prepared several articles for the Museum Journal. Several lines of field work were started during the summer. From June to August Mr. Smith explored the southern part of Wyoming, which, from an archeological point of view, is an entirely new field. Mr. Smith secured specimens and impor- tant data which will form the basis of a paper on the arche- ology of Wyoming. Dr. R. H. Lowie spent the months of July to October among the Northern Plains Indians. He visited the Blackfoot Reservation at Gleichen, Alberta, the ‘‘Stoney’’ Assiniboine at Morley, the Cree Reservation at Hobbema and the Crow Reservation in Montana. Dr. Lowie procured many specimens and much data on the social and Report of the President. 39 ceremonial organization, religious observances and general culture of these Indians. This information and the collec- tions will furnish material for three scientific papers upon the Indians of the Northern Plains. Many of the gaps in the local archeological collections have been filled through the work of Mr. Alanson Skinner, who has explored a number of village sites on Staten Island, in New Jersey and in the western part of New York State. Besides the members of the staff who have been engaged in field work, several investigators in various parts of the world have been contributing to the department. Dr. C. C. Vinton has continued to collect information and specimens in Korea for the Museum. Dr. J. R. Walker is progressing with his work among the Dakota. Captain George Comer is now in the Arctic with a commission to collect specimens and notes, as in former years, and Professor Howard Richards is making collections in China. In the spring Professor Marshall H. Saville retired as Curator of Mexican Archeology and the custody of the Mexican collec- tion was transferred to this department. Professor Saville ac- cepted an appointment as Honorary Curator of Archeology and has rendered valuable assistance to the Curator in many ways. From May to October Mr. George H. Pepper was given leave of absence to take up some work in South America Gigerethe (direction) or ‘Mr.) George CG. Heye. ‘Since: his return he has continued his study of the Pueblo Bonito and has made considerable progress with his manuscript. One memoir, three Au/letin articles and three numbers of the first volume of the Anthropological Papers, making a total, exclusive of plates, of about 750 pages, have been pub- lished under the direction of this department. Under the special fund established by Mr. Jesup, the pub- lication of the investigations of the Jesup North Pacific Expe- dition has been continued, the following parts having been completed during the year: Vol. II, Part VI. ‘‘Archzology of the Gulf of Georgia and Puget Sound.” By Harlan I. Smith. Vol. VII, Part II. ‘‘ The Chukchee: Religion.” By W. Bogoras. 40 Report of the President. DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY. The handling of the animals received in the flesh and the preparation of skeletons have formed the chief work of this department during the year. By the digestion method, 78 skeletons, 64 skulls and 21 sternums have been cleaned and added to the study collections. Among these are included the skeletons of the two North Atlantic Right Whales caught at Amagansett, Long Island. Two hundred and forty-six speci- mens have been received in the flesh. JESUP COLLECTION OF NORTH AMERICAN WOODS. Early in the year Mr. A. C. Burrill was appointed an assistant and has given his attention to the Jesup Collection of North American Woods. The storage specimens have been overhauled, classified and made available for reference or use. The catalogue of the entire collection has been revised and all data regarding it has been assembled. In all there are 3,092 specimens, of which 505 are on exhibition. The exhibition collection has been improved by regrouping the specimens and by adding many artificial sprays of fruits and flowers. A number of colored transparencies has greatly increased the general attractiveness of the hall. LIBRARY. DEPARTMENT OF BooOKS AND PUBLICATIONS. —As the Museum extends the scope of its scientific work and its explorations, the importance of a well-equipped library will be readily understood. It has been the aim of Professor Tower, the Curator, to build up an exhaustive library of natural history, rather than a large general library. The success of his efforts is attested by the increasing number of students and investigators who visit the Museum to consult our books and publications. While there still remain many gaps in the series of periodicals and volumes needed, excellent progress has been made in procuring such works. Several valuable and important acquisitions have been secured through THE MuskuM. Central Section of the South Facade, 1889-1893 Report of the President. AI correspondence and exchange. Among these may be men- tioned a complete file of the publications of the Vienna Academy of Sciences, of the Deutsche Entomologische Gesellschaft and of the Berlin Entomologische Verein. Arrangements have been made whereby the New York Microscopical Society makes its headquarters at the Museum, and the Society has permanently deposited its library with the Museum. This library contains many important publications which were wanting in our files. All gifts and exchanges have been duly acknowledged. The department has received during the year 1,931 volumes and 723 pamphlets, making the working library at the close of 1907 number 36,597 books and 18,455 pamphlets. The reference catalogue has been increased by the inter- calation of 15,250 cards received from the Concilium Biblio- graphicum, and a like number has been distributed to the series on deposit. PUBLICATIONS. During the past year the sum of $13,627.63 was devoted to publication. The edition of the AM/emoirs, and also of the Bulletin, waS 600. Of these publications, one hundred copies each were sent to the great scientific centers of the world, and one hundred were mailed to specialists at the request of authors. The remainder has been reserved for exchanges and sales and to complete sets of the Museum publications. Following is a list of the scientific publications of the Museum issued in 1907, as received by the Curator for distri- bution: DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALAZONTOLOGY.

The interest and support accorded to the work of the Museum by its Members have been most gratifying. Receipts from membership are used to enrich the collections and to extend the educational work of the institution, and it is hoped that this source of income may be greatly increased. The names of 209 new members have been enrolled, but as the loss through death and resignation totals 123, the net gain is 86. On January 1, 1908, there were 2,124 Members, divided into classes as follows: Patrons, 100; Fellows, 39; Life Members, 353; Annual Members, 1,632. NEw MEMBERS. The following persons were elected Patrons: ProF. AUGUSTE FOREL, GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN, James R. KEENE, HERMAN A. METZ, Com. C. A. M. LIEBRECHTS, SAMUEL THORNE.

In addition to the loss sustained by the Museum through the decease of Mr. Jesup, the institution has suffered a serious less in the death, on December 4, 1907, of Mr. Henry O. HAVEMEYER, a member of the Board of Trustees since the year 1898. In appreciation of the interest of Mr. Havemeyer in the Museum, the Trustees adopted the following minute at their Annual Meeting, February 10, 1908: Miouch) the death of Mr. HH: ©. Havemeyer, Vhe Ameri- can Museum of Natural History has lost a warm friend and able supporter. Mr. Havemeyer was elected a Trustee the ninth of May, 1898. He took an active interest in the development of the Museum, always expressed himself as desirous of taking his share in its many scientific enterprises and from the time of his election contributed generously. In 1903 he was one of five trustees who presented to the Museum the Pampean Collection of Professor Edward D. Cope; and in 1904 he was a generous contributor to the Permanent Endowment Fund. The Trustees of The American Museum of Natural His- tory, at this their annual meeting, desire to make permanent record of these signs of Mr. Havemeyer’s public spirit, to express their sense of loss and to extend to the members of his family their most sincere sympathy. Through the death of Mr. D. WILLIS JAMEs on September 13, 1907, the Museum has lost another of its most liberal benefactors and friends. Mr. James was a generous sup- porter of the work of the institution, and served on -the Board of Trustees from February 11, 1889, to January 16, 1903, when he felt obliged to resign. 46 Report of the President.

MOSPIPALIPY TO SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES The Museum is yearly becoming more generally recognized as a center for the gathering of the various scientific societies of the city and country, and its lecture halls and conference rooms have been in almost continuous demand. In the spring, the halls on the ground floor of the west wing were used for an exhibition prepared under the direction of the Committee on the Congestion of Population in New Work: City. The Members of the Fourth International Fishery Congress were the guests of the Museum on September 28, and the foreign delegates were most emphatic in their praise of the work which this institution is doing. In November, the two halls on the ground floor, east, were placed at the disposal of the New York Horticultural Society for its first annual flower exhibition. Various species of roses, chrysanthemums, pinks and orchids were shown ane the ex- hibition proved most popular and attractive. By far the most important of these special exhibits was that of the ‘‘International Tuberculosis Congress,’’ given under the joint auspices of the Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis of the Charity Organization Society and the Board of Health of the City of New York. This exhibition, 20 Report of the President originally given in Washington, D. C., occupied five of our large halls, and was a most complete exposition of the methods of checking the great white plague. The opening exercises were held November 30, at which the Mayor, Commissioner Darlington and others spoke, and from that time till January 17, 1909, the exhibit was open to the public. The widespread interest in this exhibit was phenomenal. The total attendance for the seven weeks was 753,954, and the largest attendance in any one day was 63,256. It speaks well for the efficiency of the staff of the Museum that these enormous crowds were handled without a single case of disorder. During the last two weeks of the exhibition, by special arrangement with the Superintendent of Schools, pupils of the high schools to the number of 40,000 were brought to the Museum and every effort was made to render their visit profitable. The following societies and organizations were guests of the Museum in 1908: American Bison Society American Ethnological Society American Institute of Mining Engineers American Nature Study Society, New York City Section American Psychological Association, New York Branch Audubon Society of the State of New York Charity Organization Society Committee on Congestion of Population in New York City Concilium Bibliographicum Eastern Art Teachers Association Fourth International Fishery Congress Horticultural Society of New York Linnzean Society of New York National Association of Audubon Societies for the Protection of Wild Birds and Animals Natural Science Committee of the Associate Alumnz of the Normal College New York Academy of Sciences New York Entomological Society New York Microscopical Society New York Mineralogical Club Playground Association of America School Garden Association of New York Torrey Botanical Club West Side Natural History Society pGO*ESiL “gouepuayie 1210.1 6061 ‘L1 Arenuef 0} ‘go61 ‘of JaqMaaAON wWnhesny oy} Ie pje}{ ‘“NOILIGIHXY SISOTAONAGAT, IVNOILVNUALN] AH], - Report of the President 27 II, COLLECTIONS, EXPLORATIONS AND EXHIBITIONS EXPLORATIONS.—It is through expeditions and field agents that many of the most important additions are made to the collections. It is obvious, therefore, that it is our duty to maintain field parties although this involves a heavy draft on our resources. Fortunately there are a number of friends who have volunteered to assist the Museum in this way. During the past year the Museum has had representatives in the fol- lowing localities: In United States ALASKA IDAHO NorTH DAKOTA COLORADO MONTANA TEXAS FLORIDA NEBRASKA WYOMING In Foreign Countries ALBERTA, CANADA KERGUELEN ISLAND SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA ARCTIC AMERICA KOREA SoOcIETY ISLANDS BAHAMA ISLANDS LABRADOR SOLOMON ISLANDS CHINA NEw ZEALAND SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS HUDSON Bay NICARAGUA VANCOUVER, B. C. INDIA PHILIPPINE ISLANDS FRENCH WEST INDIES MINERALS DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY.—The extent of the Bement Collection of Minerals, presented by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan a few years ago, is so great that the acquisition of other large collections has become unnecessary because of the con- sequent duplication of material already on hand. In order, however, to maintain the high standard of excellence estab- lished by this collection, it is necessary to purchase from time to time exceptional specimens of rare form and examples of new species. It is to this end that the income of the Bruce Fund is applied, and through its aid 95 separate species and varieties have been added to the cabinet during the past year. A larger endowment of this department is needed. Two gifts deserve special mention: an unusual specimen of Polybasite from Arizpe, Sonora, Mexico, the locality well known for its silver ores, which was presented by the President and Directors of the Minas Pedrazzini Mining Company; 28 Report of the President and, from the same locality, but constituting an independent donation, admirable examples of Argentite and Stephanite, presented by Mr. Edward L. Dufourcq. The cataloguing of the Bement collection has been pushed forward as rapidly as the routine work would permit. To date, more than 13,000 cards have been written. The cata- logue is frequently consulted by visiting mineralogists. MAMMALS AND BIRDS DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY.—The study collections of mammals and birds have been enriched and remain in safe condition readily accessible for use. The mammals are thoroughly catalogued and considerable progress has been made with the new systematic catalogue. The registration of the birds added in recent years to the study collection has advanced, and in the exhibition hall a number of new habitat groups has been installed. Mr. Chapman visited southern Florida early in the year for further material for bird groups, and secured, in addition to material for important groups, a fine series of moving pictures of the Brown Pelican and other birds. Mr. Roy C. Andrews spent several months at Vancouver Island and on the coast of Alaska collecting cetacean material, and had excellent opportunities for studying fresh examples of several species of whales, of which he took thousands of measurements and many photographs. He also was successful in obtaining photographs of the animals in life. Dr. Rudolph M. Anderson left early in April for a long period of exploration in the Mackenzie basin and along the Arctic coast. The first instalment of his collection of mammals and birds has already reached the Museum. Mr. William B. Richardson has continued his explorations in Nicaragua, and has sent to us during the year several large collections of both mammals and birds. The acquisitions during the year include 1,034 mammals and 1,626 birds. Mrs. Morris K. Jesup has ,been the principal benefactor of this department during the year. She has defrayed the entire cost of the Museum’s expeditions to British Columbia, to the Report of the President 29 Arctic, to Nicaragua and to Nebraska. Among her gifts should be mentioned a fine specimen of sea otter, a condor, skeletons of the gorilla and elephant, two examples of the rare Solenodon and two collections of mammals. Other donations to be noted are an antelope and a rare Bush Pig, both mounted, and a skin of a Grant Zebra, all from British East Africa, presented by Mrs. Armar D. Saunderson; a collection of 41 small mammals from California, presented by Dr. Joseph Grinnell; 50 small mammals from Nebraska, pre- sented by Captain M. L. Crimmins, U. S. A., and 59 small mammals from Kashmir, northern India, presented by Colonel A. E. Ward. This department has also received many valu- able specimens in the flesh from the New York Zodlogical Society and the Central Park Menagerie. About 200 North American mammals have been added by exchange. In the present connection special mention should be made of the group of Paradise Birds recently placed on exhibition, numbering 46 species and 75 specimens, the gift of Mrs. Frank K. Sturgis. The papers contributed by this department to the Bulletin during the past year are 11 in number, aggregating 274 pages, illustrated with 16 plates (one colored) and 72 text figures. The Museum publications edited by the Curator consist of one part of the Memoirs (Part IV of Vol. IX), and Volume XXIV and Part 1 of Volume XXV of the Bulletin. LIVING REPTILES AND FISHES The reptiles and fishes of recent time have been placed temporarily in the care of the Department of Invertebrate Zoology and the installation of the exhibition collections in the corridor of the north wing has been continued under the direct supervision of the Assistant Curator, Mr. Roy W. Miner. Much attention has been given to the labeling of the speci- mens which has been developed along two lines: 1. A series of popular, individual labels adapted to the requirements of the general public. 2. A series of group labels adapted to students. 30 Report of the President Mr. Miner participated in the Fourth International Fishery Congress held in Washington in September, and he was awarded a prize for his paper on the Exhibition of Fishes. The principal additions to the collections have been the casts, models and mounted skins (more than forty in number) prepared by Mr. G. Dwight Franklin. The excellence of Mr. Franklin’s work is attested by the fact that he was awarded the prize offered by the Fourth International Fishery Congress for the best method of preparing fishes for exhibition. We especially wish to acknowledge the many courtesies extended by the New York Aquarium. EXTINCT MAMMALS, BIRDS, REPTILES AND FISHES DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PAL#ONTOLOGY.—Several changes have been made in the exhibition series, the most im- © portant being the complete rearrangement of the exhibits illustrating the Evolution of the Horse. The Museum now possesses not only the earliest known example of the horse, but the most extensive and complete series of specimens illustrating its evolution; indeed, its collections are larger than the combined collections of all other institutions in the world. The collections are arranged in two sections, viz.: Evolu- tion of the Horse in Nature, and the Evolution of the Horse under Domestication. Three mounted skeletons have been added to the first section during the year, the four-toed Orohippus, the three-toed Mesohippus bairdt and Mesohippus intermedius. The second section contains skeletons of the horse and man, Arab Stallion, Draught Horse, and the Shetland Pony, to which has been added the skeleton of the famous race-horse ‘‘Sysonby”’ presented to the Museum by Mr. James R. Keene and prepared at his expense. A notable event was the departmental reception and tea given on the afternoon of November 12, to which Mr. Keene and other prominent horse lovers were invited to see the first exhibition of ‘‘Sysonby.”’ | Several additions have been made to the exhibition series in the Dinosaur Hall. The Duck-billed Dinosaur or qqnyy ‘YS Aq pojunow pue peivdeig ‘ous0y ‘“y sowef Aq pojussaIq (,,AUNOSAS,, ASUOH-AOVY AHL AO NOLATANS eT yp vd Pea &, Report of the President 31 Trachodon mount, with two skeletons and with base designed to illustrate the environment, has been finished. This spiendid group and the Adlosaurus mount mark a step forward in methods of exhibiting fossil vertebrates and add greatly to the realistic effect and teaching quality of the fossil skeletons. Progress has been made in the installation of the Permian fossils, which will represent a third great division in the history of the earth, the age of Amphibians, no less distinct and remarkable in the character of its life and environment than the age of Reptiles or the age of Mammals. Two unusually rare and valuable acquisitions have been received as the gift of Mrs. Morris K. Jesup. One is a speci- men of the ‘‘fish lizard,” /chthyosaurus, from the quarries of Holzmaden, Germany, which shows the character of the entire integument, and a specimen of the toothed bird, Hesperornis, found in the Cretaceous of western Kansas. Other important additions have been received through field parties. Four expeditions were sent out during the year, all of which, with the exception of the Alaskan expedition, were maintained by the contributions of Mrs. Morris K. Jesup. Mr. Barnum Brown conducted an expedition to central Montana to search for dinosaur remains. Several important beds of fossils were located and a number of valuable speci- mens secured, among which a fine skull and skeleton of the Tyrannosaurus and a skull of Zriceratops are of special mention. Dr. W. D. Matthew and Mr. Albert Thomson visited the Lower Miocene beds in Sioux County, Nebraska, with satis- factory results. The material obtained included six articulated skeletons of Stenomylus, several skeletons of Merycocherus, various skulls and parts of skeletons of horses, camels, rhi- noceroses, oreodonts and deer. The discovery in 1907 of mammoth remains in Alaska by Mr. L. S. Quackenbush made it desirable to send him again to this locality and the work was continued through the generosity aoc, |. P. Morgan, Jr., and Mr; Percy.R: Pyne, who ,de-: frayed the cost of this expedition. Mr. Quackenbush brought back additional parts of the mammoth specimen discovered in 1907, including the lower jaw, tusks and various bones of aa Report of the President the skeleton, much hair, skin and dried flesh; also parts of skeletons of bison, moose, caribou and horse. The fourth expedition was to the Permian beds of Texas, in charge of Dr. E. C. Case of the University of Michigan. A fine skull of Diadectes and several skulls and parts of skeletons of primitive reptiles and amphibians were secured. Research work has been carried on by the members of the staff, as circumstances permitted, and the papers published will be found listed under the report on publications. EXTINCT FISHES The efforts of the Curator, Dr. Bashford Dean, have been devoted chiefly to improvements in the exhibition hall. The material has been relabeled and several restorations have been prepared and placed on view. Among these are pictures of the fishes of Ohio during the Devonian Age, prepared by a Japanese artist after reconstructions by Dr. Dean. The arrangement and classification of the study collections have been continued and considerable work has been done on a bibliography of fishes. Various fishes have been purchased with funds provided by Mr. Cleveland H. Dodge, and about forty specimens from the Old Red Sandstone of Scotland were secured through exchange with the Royal Scottish Museum of Edinburgh. LIVING INVERTEBRATES—SYNOPTIC COLLECTION DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—It was with keen regret that we announced the resignation of Dr. William Morton Wheeler, who, as Curator of this department for the past six years, rendered most efficient service in its organiza- tion and development. Because of the character of his researches and his standing as an investigator, his departure will remain a distinct loss to the Museum and to those asso- ciated in scientific work in this neighborhood. While Dr. Wheeler has been appointed to the professorship of Economic — Entomology in Harvard University, we are glad to announce that he will continue to be identified with the work of the Museum, having honorary curatorship over one of the divi- sions of insects. Report of the President 33 The Museum is fortunate in having secured Dr. Henry E, Crampton to take charge of the department. Dr. Crampton is a graduate of Columbia University and for several years has held the Chair of Zodlogy at Barnard College. He has had wide experience as a teacher; heis familiar with museum methods, and is well known as an investigator and writer. He assumed his duties January 1, 1909. The scientific staff of the department has been further strengthened by the following appointments: Dr. Frank E. Lutz, a research assistant in the Carnegie Institution at Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island, as an Assistant Curator; Dr. Alexander Petrunkevitch as Honorary Curator of Arachnida, and Dr. Aaron L. Treadwell as Honorary Curator of Annulata. During the interim the affairs of the department were in charge of Mr. Roy W. Miner, the Assistant Curator, who dis- charged his manifold duties most efficiently. The attention of the staff has been largely devoted to the exhibition collections. The installation has been designed to present a bird’s-eye view of the animal kingdom and to empha- size the relationship existing between the groups. Many of the animals are so small that it is practically impossible to demonstrate their structure by preserved specimens, but by making carefully prepared enlarged models it is possible to give the visitor an accurate idea of their structure and of their relations to one another and to man. The principal additions to the exhibition series have been the models prepared by Dr. B. E. Dahlgren and his assistants. These include models of the anatomy of certain parasites; the anatomy of the common lobster, and a series of models show- ing the development of the egg in the Ascidians. The offices of the department and many of the study col- lections have been transferred to the rooms on the fifth floor of the new west wing. In the spring, Dr. Dahlgren and Mr. H. Mueller visited the - Bahama Islands in search of material intended for use in the reproduction of a coral reef. They made extensive studies of several reefs and secured a large number of choice specimens, including an exceptionally fine example of a madrepore coral which measures ten feet in length and weighs nearly two tons. 34 Report of the President The Curator, Dr. Wheeler, spent the month of July in the Casco Bay region of Maine, where he continued his studies of the Formicide. His results are published in the Bulletin. A third expedition was sent to Colorado under Mr. Gneomar von Krockow to collect fossil insects and leaves. While circumstances prevented him from carrying out the original plans, his industry resulted in the addition to the Museum’s collections of fifty reptiles, amphibia and fishes, 250 vials of insects, and other invertebrates. Professor Filippo Silvestri, of Portici, Italy, spent several weeks of study at the Museum and later collected in New York and in certain of the western states. The Museum is to receive a duplicate set of the specimens he secured. In spite of the demands of routine work, the Curator and his staff have continued their researches, and during the year 18 papers have been published. MOLLUSCAN SHELLS DEPARTMENT OF CONCHOLOGY.—The only notable acces- sion to the conchological collection was an interesting series of shells from the Philippine Islands, obtained through ex- change with the Frankfort Museum of Germany. ‘The collec- tion numbers 4,330 specimens, representing 477 species and varieties carefully identified and comprising many cotypes. INSECTS DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.—The larger portion of the Curator’s time has been devoted to selecting the unarranged material of North American Coleoptera, cleaning and remount- ing the same and providing the specimens with proper labels. About 9,o00 specimens have been treated in this manner. The collections have been poisoned and freed from museum pests. Among the important accessions should be mentioned a collection of ants presented by Dr. William Morton Wheeler, one of the three largest collections of Formicidz in existence. It contains many types and cotypes and nearly every species is represented by long series of specimens—in fact, the collec- tion represents such a large portion of the family Formicide that all future additions can be readily intercalated. Report of the President 35 Five articles written by the Curator have been published or are in press, and several are in process of preparation. EXTINCT INVERTEBRATES DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALZONTOL- ocy.—The laborious task of cataloguing and labeling the many specimens in this department has been constantly pushed forward by the Curator. More than 400 new labels have been typewritten, about 100 of which bear citations. Visiting scientists have made frequent use of the collec- tions during the year, among whom may be mentioned Mr. J. E. Hyde of the Ohio Geological Survey, Dr. R. Ruedemann and Mr. Kirk of the New York State Museum, Miss Elvira Wood of Columbia University, Dr. William S. Prouty of the Maryland Geological Survey and Professor W. A. Parks of Toronto University. Under the direction of the Associate Curator, Dr. Edmund Otis Hovey, the whole catalogue of the geological collections has been standardized, and all the specimens received during the year have been accessioned. Among the acquisitions par- ticular mention may be made of a series of graphite in its crude and manufactured form, the gift of the Dixon Crucible Company. By exchange we have received a beautifully polished and etched section of the Gibeon iron meteorite and samples illustrating the mill work done on the copper ores at Butte, Montana. In April, Dr. Hovey, accompanied by his wife as volunteer assistant, again visited the Lesser Antilles to continue his comparative studies of the volcanoes of this region. Besides the scientific data bearing on the geological formation of the country, Dr. Hovey secured a large number of important photographs and many specimens of volcanic material. Much of the Associate Curator’s time has been occupied with the editorship of the Museum Journal, of which eight numbers have been issued, including 130 pages, 42 half-tones and 1 colored plate. LIVING AND EXTINCT RACES OF MEN DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.—Progress has been made in the revision of the collections for public exhibition. The 36 Report of the President general plan of development contemplates a brief type exhibit for each of the ten main culture areas in North America. As these exhibits are designed primarily for the general visitor, the subject is not treated exhaustively. A beginning in this method of installation was made last year in the Eskimo exhibit and in that of the Indians of the Plains. To the latter has been added this year a section on food and hunting. In the Eskimo Hall, three of the mural paintings, provided through the generosity of Mr. Arthur Curtiss James and executed by Mr. Frederick W. Stokes, have been completed and put in place. The introduction of these paintings marks a new departure in the treatment of the Museum’s exhibition halls and is in the nature of an experiment. The installation of the North American culture type exhibit for the Indians of California has been completed and the arrangement of the California basketry is nearly finished. Several collections from the Northwest Coast have been transferred to the Hall of North American Archzology, where they more properly belong. The final plan of this hall is to present in as concise a form as possible the general archzology of North America with the exception of Mexico and the Southwest. The cataloguing and classifying of the four large ethno- logical collections from the Congo, which have been presented to the Museum by His Majesty King Leopold of Belgium, have been completed and a general plan for the installation of this rich material has been formulated. In connection with the coming Hudson-Fulton Celebration, a special exhibit illustrating local archeology and the culture of the Indians formerly living in Manhattan and vicinity is being prepared. This work is being done by Mr. Alanson Skinner under the supervision of Dr. Wissler. The proper accessioning and cataloguing of the quantity of material in this department is no small task, but this important work has been pushed forward as rapidly as circumstances permitted. The card catalogue is now practically complete for the Philippine Islands, the Islands of the Pacific Ocean, and for North American ethnology. In this part of the catalogue there are about forty thousand cards. a. Airs o wv s ar a S2YOIS “MA YOoporg Aq poynsoxyY “AOOIONHLIY NVOIWANVY HLYON AO TIVH FHL NI SNOILVUOOT ‘IVAW Report of the Prestdent 37 The handling and arrangement of the study and storage collections have been greatly facilitated by the completion of the storage rooms in the attic of the new west wing. These rooms, especially designed for this purpose, are insect, dust and fire-proof, can be fumigated whenever desirable, and ren- der the material very accessible for inspection and study. There have been several large and important collections received as gifts during the year. Of special mention are a collection from the Fiji Islands, containing over two thousand specimens, and a collection from the Andaman Islands, which includes a fine example of the ‘‘Ghost House” and various specimens of basketry, pottery and weapons. Both of these accessions are the gift of Mrs. Morris K. Jesup. Mr. Henry Booth presented about five thousand speci- mens, representing the archeology of Dutchess County, New York. Another important gift was a collection of the casts of hard palates, presented by Dr. Walter Channing, which has provided the data for a paper on the subject written by Doctors Channing and Wissler. Six expeditions have been sent into the field in the interest of this department, all of which have been maintained through the generous contributions of Mrs. Morris K. Jesup. In April, Mr. V. Stefansson, accompanied by Dr. R. M. Anderson, left for the Arctic, via the Mackenzie River, for ethnological work along the shores of the Beaufort Sea and among the islands east of the mouth of the Mackenzie. They plan to be in the field for two or three years. Mr. Harlan I. Smith again visited eastern and northern Wyoming to continue his archeological survey in this region. He discovered a large prehistoric quarry and secured im- portant data relative to the prehistoric races. The third expedition was to James Bay and western Labrador, under Mr. Alanson Skinner. It is our first expedi- tion into this field, and Mr. Skinner found a type of culture most interesting to the American student. Another region not heretofore investigated, and not pre- _ viously represented in our collections, is the great Athapascan geea in the far northwest of Canada. | Dr; BR; H..Lowie entered this field and obtained very satisfactory results. He 38 Report of the President secured data regarding the mythology and prehistoric culture of the Chippewyan Indians. He also continued his studies of the Assiniboine Indians at Fort Belknap, Montana. H. J. Spinden spent the summer among the Nez Perce Indians (Idaho) where he made.a very complete collection of myths and tales, together with notes upon their general culture. His excavations also yielded excellent collections. Rev. Gilbert L. Wilson worked among the Hidatsa Indians in North Dakota. He secured a small but interesting collec- tion showing primitive agricultural implements and household utensils. In addition to the above, several volunteer workers have been looking after the interests of the Museum. Honorable Mason Mitchell, U. S. Consul to Chung-king, China, has sent in a number of valuable ethnological specimens. Dr. C. C. Vinton is operating in Korea; Captain George Comer in Hudson Bay; Mr. G. A. McTavish in Tahiti; Mr. T. E. Donne in New Zealand, and Dr. Hugh M. Smith secured a number of valuable specimens during his sojourn in the Philippines. In spite of the heavy drafts for routine work made on the time of the departmental staff, the research work and publica- tions have progressed satisfactorily. Five articles have been contributed to the Anthropological Papers, and several minor papers by members of the staff have appeared in other publi- cations. DEPARTMENT OF PHYSIOLOGY We regret that continued ill health obliged Dr. C. W. F. Muenchehofe to retire from the department in June, and we gladly record our appreciation of the excellent work which he accomplished and of the faithful service that he rendered while a member of the staff. Mr. Adolph Elwyn has been assigned to work in this department, and later in the year Mrs. Louise Stevens Bryant was engaged to assist in the osteological work. During the year, 84 skeletons and 1,361 skulls have been cleaned and added to the study collection. Among these are skeletons of an elephant and a rhinoceros.

COLLECTION, OF NORTH AMERICAN WOODS The preparation of artificial sprays, showing flowers and fruits of the native trees in their natural size and colors, has been continued as material could be secured. Thirty-five specimens have been added to the exhibition series during the year. Recently Miss Mary C. Dickerson has been engaged as an assistant in this department and has done considerable work towards preparing guide leaflets for the hall. It is in- tended to still further improve the collection by the addition of photographs and transparencies. LIBRARY The charter given to the founders of the Museum provided for the establishing and maintaining of a Library of Natural History. Partly through a mutually advantageous arrange- ment with the New York Academy of Sciences, but chiefly through the assiduous efforts of the Curator in arranging exchanges and in making judicious purchases, the Museum now possesses a library of science which is second to none in this city and is among the leading scientific libraries of America. While the library has had this most encouraging growth, there are, of course, many rare and important works on natural science which the Museum has not yet been able to secure, and there is, perhaps, no branch of the Museum’s 40 Report of the President work in which additional appropriations are more urgently needed and where the expenditure of additional funds would yield larger returns for science than here. The department has received during the year 1,870 volumes and 1,025 pamphlets, and has classified and catalogued 2,632 separata and 1,348 volumes. The subscription to the Conctlium Libliographicum has been continued, and 11,868 cards have been intercalated in the reference catalogue. A like number has been distributed to the series on deposit. PUBLICATIONS The sum expended by the Museum in 1908 for its publica- tions, in addition to regular salaries, was $20,103.23, an amount indicative of the extent of the researches of the Museum staff.

MEMBERSHIP It is a most significant fact that the general financial strin- gency of the past year has not reduced the support that we have always received from our Members. New subscriptions have overcome any loss that was sustained and we are glad to record a gain in the income from membership fees. In all, 166 new members were enrolled, giving a net gain of 24. On December 31, 1908, the total membership was 2,148, divided into classes as follows: Patrons, tor; Fellows, 40; Honorary Fellow, 1; Life Members, 364; Annual Members, 1,642.

All receipts and expenditures per- taining to the maintenance of the Museum have been recorded in the City Maintenance Account; those relating to the devel- opment of the collections, in the General Account, and those for certain specified purposes, in the Special Funds Account. The details of the receipts and disbursements thus classified will be found in the Treasurer’s Report, pages 49 to 57 inclu- sive. All books and vouchers of these accounts have been duly examined and certified by the Audit Company of New York. The following summary will show the general receipts and disbursements for the past eight years: Report of the President 45 SUMMARY OF THE YEARLY EXPENDITURES FROM t1gort TO 1908 Enlargement of Collections Maintenance of Museum by Exploration, Purchase and Publication ae Ree From Endow- From Gifts A A t : emery Clue tt (by inte: | one sm) Of Sparel) ) Total I9g0I $130,000.00 $17,733.75 $56,077.52 $43,811.50 $247,622.77 1902 160,000.00 59,787.14 70,436.73 290, 223.87 1903 160,000.00 7,368.54 61,140.24 28,089.54 256,598.32 1904 160,000.00 8,158.69 66,882.64 TI,261.05 246, 302.38 1905 160,000.00 19,506.41 54,378.82 16,709.56 250,594.79 1906 170,000.00 2,924.04 66,673.35 56,467.96 296,065.35 1907 160,000.00 26,828.52 63,951.44 58,035.62 308,815.58 1908 159,930.62 33,475-97 82,012.48 20,296.81 295,715.88 $1,259,930.62 $115,995.92 $510,903.63 $305,108.77 $2,191,938.94 1909 $180,000.00 City MaAInTENANCE AccountT.—All bills chargeable to this account are first paid by the Museum out of its own funds, about once a month or as often as is practicable, then receipted bills are assembled and with proper vouchers are submitted, through the Department of Parks, to the City for reimbursement. In the course of three to six weeks the City reimburses the Museum for these expenditures. In order that the Museum might not be obliged to draw on its general funds to make these advances for the City, Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan gave to the Museum $15,000 to serve as a capital in the City Maintenance Account. A statement of this account, therefore, must always show a balance of at least $15,000. The City appropriated $160,000 for the maintenance of the Museum during 1908, but this sum was so apportioned by the City that only $159,930.62 was available. This amount is smaller than the appropriation of six years ago and is quite insufficient to meet the present running expenses. During this period the growth of the Museum has continued without interruption, new exhibition and storage rooms have been added and the scope of the educational work has been con- stantly expanding. Rather than curtail the work of the Museum, the Trustees authorized a deficit of $33,000 in this account, which has been met by their contributions. 46 Report of the President TRUSTEES GENERAL ACCOoUNT.—The net receipts in this account were $119,513.29, of which $49,905 was received as interest on invested funds; $1,800 from Life Members; $16,025 from Annual Members; $17,500 as personal subscrip- tions of Trustees, and $29,405.40 being a part of the $50,000 contributed by Mrs. Morris K. Jesup for the general purposes of the Museum. It was through this splendid gift of Mrs. Jesup, applied to the purchase of collections and the main- tenance of field parties, that the Trustees were able to meet the deficiencies in the City Maintenance Account and close the books for the year without a deficit. It must not be for- gotten that the purchase of new collections and the carrying on of the scientific work of the Museum must be met largely from this General Fund, as the money appropriated by the City cannot be used for such purposes. TRUSTEES SPECIAL Funps AccountT.—All of the moneys carried in this account have been contributed for specific pur- poses and each fund is carried on the books virtually as a special account. It is through the generous contributions of friends to these funds that it is possible for the Museum to take up important lines of research and to procure valuable collec- tions which cannot be obtained through the regular resources. of the Museum. The importance of these special funds in the development of the institution is readily understood. The subscriptions to this account during the past year for the development of specific departments was $23,050.64. TRUSTEES PERMANENT ENDOWMENT.— All bequests and funds not otherwise designated are invested as a permanent endowment and the income alone is applied to the purposes of the Museum. The payment of the $1,000,000 bequest of Mr. Morris K. Jesup marks the largest contribution that has ever been made to the endowment; indeed, it practically doubles it. This. money has been invested by the Finance Committee since December 31, 1908, so that at the present time the par value of the Permanent Endowment is $2,162,750. It is the interest from these investments which constitutes the chief source: Report of the President: 47 of income of the General Account. In the ultimate analysis, the growth of the collections and the extent of the Museum’s researches and explorations are dependent largely on the amount of the permanent endowment. Even with the addition of Mr. Jesup’s bequest the endowment is insufficient for the present needs, and a fund of at least $5,000,000 is urgently needed if we are to maintain our present position among the museums of the world.
