TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT.

To the Trustees, Patrons, Fellows and Members of the American
Museum of Natural Firstory.

In presenting the Twenty-second Annual Report of the work
of the Museum I may justly assert that the past-year has been
one of marked growth and prosperity.

The much desired Endowment Fund, which has often been
brought to your attention, has been secured, and the total sub-
scriptions amount to $301,500. The income accruing from this
fund will greatly assist in providing valuable additions to the
collections for all future time, and it is earnestly hoped that the
augmentation of this fund will keep pace with the growth of the
institution.

Briefly stated, the report of the Treasurer for the year past
shows the receipts to have been $57,168.68, of which amount
$3,157.66 was a balance from 1889. ‘The expenditures have been
$56,105.77, of which sum $13,800.90 have been used for the
improvement and enlargement of the collections. The mainte-
nance of the Museum has cost $42,304.87. Of this amount the
city contributed $25,000, and our members $17,304.87.

The lectures by Professor Bickmore have been carried on dur-
ing the past fall at a cost of $2000 in excess of the estimate.
This resulted from the failure of the Governor to sign the bill
for continuing the lectures beyond October rst, last.

A subscription of $1000 was made in aid of the “ Carl Lumholtz
Expedition”’ to Northern Mexico and the Sierra Madre, and I
fully expect that the result of this exploration will be of much
benefit to our institution.

The removal of the specimens, and their temporary lodgment
in other portions of the edifice, has necessarily been the cause of
great confusion and annoyance; and this work has added some-
what to the expense of maintenance.

\

8

Our increase in membership has added to the roll of Patrons,
Messrs. William Waldorf Astor, Henry Seligman, Richard T.
Wilson, John E. Parsons, Francis O. Matthiessen, A. J. Forbes-
Leith, George Bliss, and the Hon. M. C. D. Borden. Messrs.
David Wolfe Bishop, Jr., and Cortlandt Field Bishop have become
Fellows. The Museum has also gained nineteen Life Members,
and one hundred and seventy-six Annual Members. Messrs. W.
W. Cole and George H. Brown have been elected Honorary Life
Members; and Mrs. S. Lowell Elliot has been constituted an
Honorary Patron by reason of valuable donations.

The provision of the exhibition cases for the fitting up of the
new building is a subject upon which has been bestowed the most
careful consideration. The experience and advice of those
familiar with the needs of a museum has been availed of, in
order that no precaution might be omitted that would contribute
to the best results. Group cases have caused an outlay of about
$12,000, and will require an additional expenditure of $6600 for
the current year to complete those now in progress.

In this connection, we are indebted to the Hon. Whitelaw
Reid, Minister of the United States to France, for his kindness
in procuring for us a series of large photographs of the Exhibi-
tion Halls of the Natural History Museum in Paris ; thanks are
also due to Professor G. Brown Goode, of the National Museum
of Washington, for full working drawings and plans of completed
cases.

A course of eight lectures was given last fall to members and
their families by Professor A. 5. Bickmore and Dr. Frederick
Starr ; the former delivered a course of five lectures on Economic
Botany and Economic Geology, and the latter gave three lectures
on the History and Origin of Dress. The last lectures were
illustrated largely from the material in the Ethnological Depart-
ment.

A free lecture to the public was delivered by Prof. Bickmore
on each of the following days: Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Years. ‘These lectures were attended by large audiences.

The amount of the collateral inheritance tax levied upon the
bequest of the late Wm. H. Vanderbilt to this Museum, was very
generously refunded by Messrs. Cornelius and Wm. K. Vanderbilt;

9

this amount is not noted in the current receipts and payments,
inasmuch as the Treasurer very kindly drew his check to the City
Comptroller, and immediately received a refund of the amount.
I am much gratified with their kind courtesy, in view of the fact
that no obligation existed on the part of the executors.

Notwithstanding the constant interruptions and annoyances
suffered by our official staff, the work in the several departments
has been carried on without any very material delay. A synopsis
of the work of the different divisions, summarized from the
reports of the Curators and Chiefs of Departments, furnishes
interesting data.

A most notable accession has been made to the Department of
Minerals. It has been increased by the magnificent collection
of cut and uncut gem material widely known as the “ Tiffany
Collection of Gems, etc.,’’ which was a special attraction dur-
ing the late exhibition held in Paris. We are indebted to Mr.
J. Pierpont Morgan for this splendid gift. As a special collec-
tion of such objects, it is conceded to be without a rival ; it will
add greatly to the attractions of the Museum. An appropriate
case is being constructed in which to exhibit it in the new hall
connected with the Geological Department.

The entire accumulation of land shells, containing about 2300
species, comprising the collection of Mr. John J. Crooke, of this
city, was presented to the Museum during the early portion of
the year. This donation will increase the species of the Jay
Collection by about fifty-seven per cent., making a most valuable
acquisition to the Conchological Collection.

Of mammals, the additions acquired by donation, purchase and
exchange show a total of 490. The Bird Collection has been
increased from similar sources to the extent of 1570 specimens.
The most important gift was received from Mr. W. E. D. Scott,
and consists of nearly six hundred mammals and birds from
Florida. Among the additions to the Exhibition Series are two
fine adult skeletons of the Florida Manatee, several groups of
Water Birds, and a large number of birds mounted at the Museum.

The Mammal Collection was removed from the lower hall dur-
ing the summer and stored in the alcoves of the bird hall to await
its transfer to the new wing. ‘The accretion of material in this

10

division will be found stated in detail in the departmental
report.

The Department of Taxidermy has not been obstructed in the
performance of its work as have the others. The removal of the
mammals from the lower hall made it requisite that many should
receive some attention previous to being stored temporarily, and
172 were thus treated. ‘The Indian Rhinoceros (formerly a special
attraction in the menagerie of Central Park) is almost ready to
be placed on exhibition.

The total number of groups now on exhibition amounts to forty-
two; of this number two are mammals and forty are birds. The
production of these groups has involved an expenditure of nearly
$21,000, exclusive of the cases, and it can justly be claimed that
no other museum in the world possesses a similar exhibit equal
in interest. Two mammal and two bird groups are nearly ready
for exhibition. After these four groups and the Bison and Moose
groups are finished, the work of the department will be the mount-
ing of specimens for the general collection.

The report of the Entomological Department shows that the
greater portion of the year has been devoted to the gathering and
preparation of the material for the “ Jesup Collection of Economic
Entomology,” the remainder of the time having been spent in
making additions to the Study and Exhibition Collections. Thirty-
six groups have been added during the past year, of which
number five large and twelve small ones are displayed, while
forty-four more are nearly completed, among which are included
six collected during 1889.

The insect groups above referred to are a feature as yet unat-
tempted by any other institution, and they have evoked the con-
stant praise of visitors. A full description of these groups is
appended in the departmental report. Mrs. S. Lowell Elliot has
enriched this department by the gift of the fine collection of
butterflies, moths, etc., gathered by the late Dr. S. L. Elliot. This
collection contains about 6600 specimens of butterflies and moths,
and four hundred specimens of wasps, dragonflies and grass-
hoppers.

The rooms in use for the library have been in a very confused
state for a large portion of the year, and are at the present time

11

crowded far beyond their capacity. Notwithstanding this draw-
back the department has grown more rapidly than during the
previous year; 313 volumes have been bound and 1213 volumes
added. During last summer the librarian was instructed by me
to make a tour of the several institutions noted in his report, in
order to acquire information and plans, to be used in the arrange-
ment of our library. The total number of volumes at the present
time is 13,273, and estimated at market prices may be said to be
worth nearly $100,000. The most valuable donations have been
received from Mr. George H. Brown, Mrs. Samuel Lawrence, the
Geological Survey of New, Jersey, Royal Academy of Copenhagen,
Provincial Museum of Konigsberg, Australian Museum, and the
Royal Academy at Amsterdam.

The Departments of Ethnology and Archzology have been for
several months under the care of Dr. Frederick Starr, who has
been retained to label and arrange the Bishop and the Emmons
Collections in the Department of Ethnology. His work has
covered the opening, classification, labeling, arranging and cata-
loguing of the above-noted collections.

The publication of Bulletins has been continued as during
the previous year, and has resulted in an increase of exchanges
of similar publications from other scientific bodies. Four articles
were issued from the Geological Department, embellished with
plates, and seven from the Department of Mammalogy and
Ornithology.

I have arranged to have the future osteological work performed
as far as practicable in the Museum building. ‘The practice has
been to have this work done by outside parties, but investigation
has convinced me that it would be well to try the experiment of
having it done within our own walls.

The record of visitors during the past year is as follows: Day
attendance, 232,037, average per day, 740; evening attendance,
25,028, or an average of 244 per night; the attendance at the ten
lectures amounted to 4885.

The large centre case in the lower hall has been removed, and
the Jesup Collection of Woods placed in the side cases formerly
occupied for the exhibition of the mammals. ‘The water colors
have been temporarily arranged on the doors outside of the cases.

12

There have been added to the collection twenty-seven photo-
graphs, which are displayed on the wall near to the wood speci-
mens of thesame species. This collection contains at the present
time, 420 species and twenty-five varieties, dressed and on exhi-
bition. Nine species have yet to be obtained to make this collec-
tion absolutely complete; they are very difficult to acquire, inas-
much as they have rarely been seen during recent years.

Two hundred and forty-three water colors have been received,
and two hundred and twelve more have yet to be prepared, to
complete the whole series. The necessary photographs will be
added as rapidly as possible.

This entire collection of woods, water color drawings and
photographs have been scientifically arranged under the super-
vision of Professor Charles S. Sargent, the eminent arboriculturist,
in charge of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard College, Brook-
line, Mass.

The year just past has been a period of much confusion and
consequent expense, involved by the necessary transfer and storage
of the specimens. This work has required the use of the entire
force of the Superintendent of the building, and additional help
often had to be engaged. ‘The progress of the work was regularly
reported to me, and a close supervision kept. ‘This plan resulted
in securing the utmost economy in outlay, and the best possible
returns for the expenditure.

Upon the completion of the new wing there will have been
used in the work on the same more than four million brick, two
thousand two hundred tons of granite, eleven thousand square
feet of glass for lighting, and eighty-five thousand seven hundred
and twenty-five cubic feet of rubble work in the construction of
the foundation. The foundation of a portion of the east wing
was excavated to a depth of more than fifty-two feet. It may be
interesting to incorporate these figures in the Annual Report of
this year, as they will no doubt be of some statistical interest in
the future.

It is my sad duty to record the death of our late associate, Mr.
Hugh Auchincloss. His relation as a member of the Board of
Trustees extended over a period of more than eight years, during
which time he held the position of Secretary, from which office

13

he sought to be relieved on account of declining health ; through
his decease the Museum has sustained the loss of a very warm
friend. Appropriate resolutions were adopted at the last meeting
of the Board, which were entered in full upon the minutes, and
engrossed copies of same forwarded to the members of his family.

Mr. John B. Trevor, another zealous friend of this institution,
and formerly a Trustee, died December 22d, last. He gave his
best efforts to the interests of the Museum for a number of years
until business demands compelled his retirement from the Board.

During the first few years of the existence of the Museum, it
was maintained solely by the subscriptions of its Trustees and a
few zealous friends and members, whose interest in its aims
prompted them to assist it. It is fair to assume that the contri-
butions of the Trustees, as included in money and gifts of
specimens, from the formation of the institution to the present
time, will aggregate nearly nine hundred thousand dollars.

The growth of public interest in the Museum during the past
few years has been rapid and widely distributed, and many friends,
recognizing the prominence which it has attained, have been
prompted to exemplify their interest and appreciation by gifts of
money and collections, substantial in amount.

In conclusion, I would tender our hearty thanks to those who
have become contributors during the year past, and I cherish
the conviction that the coming one will witness an even
greater increase in the amount of subscriptions. The history
of the formation of endowment funds for public institutions has
demonstrated that, after such a result as we have just achieved,
a steady increase has followed, and I feel great confidence that we
also shall secure ample means to enrich our collections.

President.

DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS.

GEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT.

(INCLUDING THE MINERALOGICAL AND CONCHOLOGICAL
COLLECTIONS. )

PALZONTOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS.—Owing to the condition of
the Museum building during the year, less time was devoted to
work on these collections than was desirable. Still all that was
not fully taken up by changes and work made necessary by the
repairs being made was devoted to it. Up tothe first of January,
1891, the work of labeling has been carried forward on the east
side of the room to within the Upper Helderberg Group, or into
section 13 of Case G, having advanced from the beginning of the
Lower Helderberg Group, in section 10, Case F. Within this
area there were 1217 complete labels placed during the year, 477
of which are those pertaining to “type” or “figured” speci-
mens, requiring citations and references. In addition to this
there were 137 complete labels made for a collection of fossils
from Palestine, which are not on exhibition for want of space,
and about three hundred others replaced in the collection where
the damage by water from roof-leakage had destroyed those pre-
viously made. ‘There were also 665 labels reprinted by Mr.
Gratacap to replace those first used, printed in ved ink and now
so faded as to be illegible. About 400 more of these yet remain
on the east side of the room, and about 200 on the west side.
The aggregate of new permanent labels added to the Palzonto-
logical collections during the year is 2319. ‘The labels for the
Palestine fossils all had to be determined and obtained from books
published on this Syrian region, and are not yet complete, as the
literature necessary for that purpose is not in our library.

But few of the labels furnished during the year have been
mounted on blocks, as the carpenter employed by the Museum
has not had time to make them. This necessarily leaves the
cases in much confusion, as the collections have to be removed
again to insert the blocks, and it makes an unsightly and dis-
agreeable feature which we cannot help, but which ought to be
remedied as early as possible, so that it may not interfere with the
progress of work.

CaTALocuinG.—The Paleontological Collection catalogue has:
progressed in the hands of Mr. L. P. Gratacap to near the middle
of Case D on the east side of the room, including two alcove
desk cases.

18

DoNATIONS AND PURCHASES.—Several donations and two
quite valuable purchases of fossils were made during the year.
One purchase of a collection of Utica Slate fossils, similar but
rather more extensive than that asked for in my last annual
report, and at a smaller price. The second of two handsome
fossil fish from the Twin Creek, Wyoming Eocene bed. One of
these formed the basis of an article in the Bulletin. These, with
other donations and purchases, will be found recorded in the
Appendix.

MINERALOGICAL COLLECTION.—But little work has been done
on this collection further than that made necessary by the addi-
tion of occasional new material. The catalogue of the collection
as it now stands was completed by Mr. Gratacap early in the year.

A number of purchases and donations have been made to this
collection during the year. The most noted addition is the dona-
tion by one of our Trustees of the “ Tiffany Collection of Gems
and Gem Material,” exhibited by the Tiffany Co. at the late
Paris Exposition, which is unquestionably the finest collection of
the kind in existence, and will necessarily be an attractive feature
of the Museum when it is placed on exhibition. There will,
however, be a necessity of frequent additions from time to time
as other material is offered. In fact there is at present quite a
quantity of such material now in the Tiffany Company’s hands,
which ought to be secured, and also a remarkably brilliant green
and violet Australian opal now owned by the G. L. English Co.

Economic COLLECTION.—But few additions have been made to
this department during the year. Many promises have been made,
but with small results. E. Fritsch, Esq., of 515 West Twentieth
Street, has furnished the five other blocks of Algerian marbles,
thus filling the case, and giving twelve varieties of these marbles.
Also a box of ore samples (chiefly gold and silver) was received
from D. O. Mills, Esq., forwarded by S. A. Knapp, Esq., of
Hawthorn, Nevada, containing 46 lots, with another box on the
way. ‘These samples of ores are marked to show the mine whence
taken, and the percentage of metal which they yield. The Col-
lection of Building Stones still remains in cases in the attic hall-
ways and on the stairs, the latter subject to defacement and injury.
It is to be hoped that a permanent place of rest may soon be
found for this collection in the new building.

CONCHOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS.—The accessions to this col-
lection during the year have been quite important and valuable.
A series of marine shells, presented by D. Jackson Steward, Esq.,
‘Trustee of the Museum, is composed largely of very fine and
valuable shells; and is also quite extensive, although not repre-
senting all the groups, and could it have been incorporated in the
general collection would have improved its appearance very much,

19

but one of the conditions of the gift is that it shall be arranged
separately according to the Lamarckian system of classification,
as an historical record ‘of that system. The Crooke Collection
of Land and Fresh Water Shells, donated by John J. Crooke, of
Staten Island, is also extremely valuable and extensive, and will
add very largely to our collections, although not composed of
showy specimens. In the four genera, Helix, Cylindrella, Partula
and Succinea, for instance, it will add 478 species. The entire
land shells of the Jay Collection numbers 1600 species, the Crooke
Collection 2300; but the proportion of added species is much
above this difference, as many in the Jay are not represented in
the Crooke Collection.

DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALS AND BIRDS.

Mammats.—The additions number 49 skins, 500 skulls, and
about 25 skeletons, obtained as follows :—By donation : 86 speci-
mens in the flesh ; 120 skins and 115 skulls, mostly from Florida.
By exchange: 126 skins and 120 skulls, mostly North American.
By purchase: 214 skins and 230 skulls, mostly from Mexico.

During the summer the Exhibition Collection was removed
from the lower hall to the bird floor, where it is temporarily stored,
awaiting the completion of the new Mammal Hall. The Study
Collection, including both skins and skulls, is now entirely labeled
and catalogued, and arranged for convenient use. Several hun-
dred skulls have been cleaned during the year, and the smaller
ones placed in vials, safe from dust and perfectly accessible for
reference.

The chief additions to the exhibition series made during the
year are the skeleton of the Indian Elephant “Samson”’; two
adult very fine skeletons of the Manatee, and also various smaller
skeletons, and a few mounted Monkeys. The principal additions
to the Study Collection are the Buller Collections from Mexico,
and several large accessions from Florida. Many valuable spe-
cimens have also been received in the flesh from the Central Park
Menagerie. The Museum is also indebted to Mr. George R.
McKenzie, of Glen Spey, N. Y., for a very fine buck Elk, kindly
presented by him for one of the contemplated groups of North
American Mammals.

Birps.—The additions are 1570 skins, and a small number of
nests and eggs, obtained as follows :—Ay donation: 644 skins,
mostly North American, of which 440 were presented by Mr.
W.E. D. Scott. By exchange : 175 skins, mostly exotic, including
many of great interest. Ly purchase: 751 skins, mostly from
Mexico and Central America.

24

About a hundred birds, mounted at the Museum, have been
added to the Exhibition Collection during the year. Also several
fine groups of Water Birds, including the Labrador Duck group.
‘lo the Study Collection have been added nearly 750 specimens
from tropical America, and about 600 from Florida. The
principal gift to this department has been received from Mr.
W. E. D. Scott, as noted above.

During the year about 2000 labels for the South American
mounted birds have been prepared and printed ; about 1200 Old
World mounted birds have been carefully identified and cata-
logued, preparatory tolabeling. ‘The additions made to the Study
Collection during the year have also been identified, labeled and
catalogued ; the Mearn’s Collection, received last year, number-
ing some 4000 specimens, is nearly catalogued.

The exchange of duplicates gives us not only much new material,
but we are able in this way to secure many valuable specimens -
not otherwise obtainable.

The use of our collections by specialists is steadily increasing,
and the pleasant reciprocal relations between this Museum and
the leading investigators and museums of this country, mentioned
in the report for last year, still continue.

As an outcome of the scientific investigation of the Museum
collections during the year, the Curator and his Assistant have
prepared the following papers, printed in No. 1, Vol. III, of the
Museum Bulletin, aggregating 178 pages:

1. On Seasonal Variation in Color in Sciurus hudsonius. By
the Curator. 4 pp. Published June, 1890.

DEPARTMENT OF TAXIDERMY.

The most notable piece of work done during the past year was
the mounting of the great Indian Rhinoceros “Bomby.” The
skin when removed from the animal weighed 750 pounds. After
immersion for four years in an antiseptic solution it was removed,
and found to be perfectly preserved. In preparing it for mount-
ing, the skin was thinned down to an even thickness of a quarter
of an inch, this operation requiring the labor of two men for two
months. In mounting, a wooden manikin was used, made to
represent as nearly as possible the natural shape of the animal,
upon which the folds and ridges were moulded in clay. Over this
completed model the skin was then drawn, and the mounting
finished in a highly satisfactory manner.

Of the 149 mammals received in the flesh a few have been
mounted, 55 others prepared for mounting, and 89 made up as
skins or skeletons for the Study Collection. Of many of the
more important specimens plaster casts were taken while still in
the flesh, as a guide in mounting the specimens later ; these casts
also afford to artists valuable material for studies. Among
those mounted from fresh specimens is the young Hipopotamus
received from the Central Park Menagerie.

A Muskrat group has been prepared and placed on exhibition
during the year. It is designed to illustrate the habits of this
peculiar species, and represents a section of a river bank showing
a burrow and its interior construction. A winter house, built in
the water, of grass and other vegetable matter, is also shown. It
has been cut down on one side to exhibit the nest within.

During the summer the Mammal Collection was removed from
the lower hall to the bird floor for temporary storage during the
completion of the new mammal hall. Although in general, the
collection is in a good state of preservation, 172 specimens were
found in need of more or less repair, and were placed in good
order. Repairs have also been made on many of the skeletons,
including the Mastodon and the Elephant Jumbo, which is now
again on exhibition at the Museum. The Irish Elk, which for
many years has been in bad condition, has been entirely re-
mounted, and the few missing parts artificially restored. Also
644 skulls of small mammals have been prepared for the Study
Collection.

30

Of birds, 89 specimens have been mounted and placed on ex-
hibition, and 48 made into skins for the Study Collection, and
skeletons made of six others. The mounted birds include a
Cassowary and various European and South American species.
Work on the Bird Groups has been continued and a number of
them completed, including those illustrating the Pied-billed
Grebe, the Laughing Gull, the Ruffed Grouse, and the Labrador
Duck. ‘The latter is a winter study made on Long Island, where
this now supposed extinct species was formerly a more or less
common winter migrant.

DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.

Most of the time during the year has been devoted to the prepa-
ration and gathering of specimens for the “Jesup Collection of
Economic Entomology,” and the Study and Exhibition Collec-
tions of Insects. In both these collections much progress has
been made; to the Economic Collection, thirty-six groups have
been added, and to the Study and Exhibition Collections, about
two thousand five hundred specimens have been added. Five
large and twelve small Economic Insect Groups have been com-
pleted and placed on exhibition, and forty-four groups are in
progress (including those collected in 1889), and are expected to
be finished and ready for exhibition before the summer. ‘These
groups will be exhibited with the “ Jesup Collection of Woods”
they represent the life histories and other phases of insects
injurious to forest and shade trees, and are illustrated by their
food-plants, made in wax, showing the injury done to the trees
by the insects. This feature will not only prove useful to prac-
tical foresters, but also will be of educational value to students of
entomology and the public.

During the latter part of the year the collection of insects of
the late Dr. S. Lowell Elhot was generously presented to the
Museum by Mrs. Margeritha Schuyler Elliot. The collection is
a very fine one, and consists of one hundred and forty-five cases,
14 x 24 inches, containing about six thousand six hundred speci-
mens of Butterflies and Moths, in absolutely perfect condition,
and fifteen cases containing about four hundred specimens of
insects of various orders. Almost all the Butterflies and Moths
of this collection are bred specimens, and many of our rarer Lepz-
doptera are represented by entire broods, showing the variation
and intergradation of the species. The suites of Datanas and
Limacodes are probably the largest and finest that have ever
been brought together. Almost all the specimens in this collec-
tion have been collected in New York City and vicinity.

Notwithstanding the satisfactory progress that has been made,
much yet remains to be done to bring the Museum Collection of

31

insects up to the proper standard of completeness. Additional
collections of North American Butterflies and Moths, Beetles
and insects of various other orders, would be of great help and
importance to the department, and it is hoped that this may be
taken into consideration by friends of the Museum, and the defi-
ciency remedied.

WORK DONE UPON THE COLLECTIONS.—In the last Annual
Report it was stated that Dr. Frederick Starr had been engaged to
arrange, label and catalogue the several collections in this depart-
ment. He has been at work during the greater part of the year.
The collections have all been carefully examined. The duplicate
material has been laid aside, and the remainder has been provided
with permanent numbers. The special catalogues of the collec-
tions, some seventeen in number, have been transcribed into large
volumes, three of which are nearly filled. By this numbering
and recording the collection is insured against loss and confusion
when it shall be transferred to the new building. A system of
card labels has been adopted. These are well printed in bold
type. Some of them are already in the cases with specimens, but
most of them will not be used until the collections are located in
new cases. To increase the interest of the specimens, and to
make them more readily understood, a number of pen and ink

32

sketches have been made, covered with glass, and neatly bound.
These will be laid alongside the specimens in their final arrange-
ment on exhibition.

DonaTions.—From time to time, for several years past, the
Museum has received donations to this department from indi-
viduals. Some of these have not been acknowledged in the
Annual Reports. A list of such gifts is appended to this report,
and the thanks of the Museum are given to the various donors.
In the same list are also included gifts from individuals received
during the year.

THE MEARNS COLLECTION FROM ARIZONA.—Dr. Edgar A.
Mearns has given to the Museum a large and interesting collec-
tion of specimens from the Cliff Dwellings and old Pueblo ruins
of the Verde Valley, Arizona. The series includes objects of
stone, bone and shell, pottery vessels, materials used in the con-
struction of the Cliff Dwellings, articles of apparel, cords, fabrics,
etc., etc., and a great amount of food materials, both vegetable -
and animal, found in these interesting ruins. Dr. Mearns made
a large number of photographic negatives of these old dwelling
places, and has consented to the Museum having a set of prints
made from them. ‘These pictures will add greatly to the interest
of this collection.

CarD CATALOGUE.—AS an experiment a card catalogue is
being prepared of the Emmons and Bishop Collections from
Alaska and British Columbia. Such a catalogue it is believed is
of greater value and more permanence than any book record.
It will also be of great assistance in the preparation of a bulletin
of the department, relative to the Alaska series. No publication
work has yet been done in connection with the Department of
Archeology and Ethnology. It is, however, greatly to be desired.

LECTURES.—Two courses of three lectures each have been
delivered during the year by Dr. Starr. The first course upon
The Stone Age, considered the several topics: (a) The Man of
the Stone Age; (4) The Mounds and their Builders; (c) Mam-
moth, Mastodon and Man. The second course was upon the
subject: Dress. (a) Deformations; (4) Dress—its Origin and
Development ; (c) Ornament and Religious Dress. These lec-
tures were illustrated with stereopticon views, largely taken from
objects in the collections of the department. ‘They were intended
for the members of the Museum and their friends.

An ARMENIAN COLLECTION Is at present offered for sale in this
city ata moderate sum. It illustrates the late Bronze and early
Iron Ages in Russian Armenia, and would valuably supplement
the Stuart Collections (deMorgan and Feuardent), which finely
represent the early and late Stone Ages and the Age of Bronze

33

in western Europe. It is a property which the Museum should
own.

ConpDITION.—The cases are overcrowded, and thousands of
specimens are stored away in boxes and trays. These all need
frequent examination to prevent loss and damage from moths, etc.
The crowded condition of the cases do not admit of proper
display of the specimens. Plans for the permanent arrangement
of the collections have been submitted to the management, and
it is hoped that the whole series may soon be removed to commo-
dious quarters, where the specimens may be suitably mounted
and effectively displayed.

En Qemoriam.

At the Quarterly Meeting of the BoarD oF TRUSTEES
of the AMERICAN Museum oF NATURAL History, held
November 17th, 1890, the following minutes, in regard
to the death of

Mr. HUCH AUCHINCLOSS,

were unanimously adopted, ordered to be recorded in
full, and that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased.

Since our last Quarterly Meeting, one of those associated with us
in the Trusteeship of this Institution, has passed from the scene of
life’s duties.

Mr. HuGH AUCHINCLOSs died on June 8th, 1890. He became
a Fellow of the A. M. N. H. in 1871 ; was elected Secretary in 1879,
and remained as such for a period of eight years, until compelled to
resign the office by reason of failing health.

Inassociating himself with us, Mr. AUCHINCLOSS was not prompted
by any peculiar interest in any special branch of science, but by the
larger view of affording support and encouragement to an enterprise
embracing a wide field ; designed to aid in freeing his native city
from something like scientific aridity ; and to establish a centre of
scientific interest and entertainment in the midst of the manifold life
of a great metropolis.

Mr. AUCHINCLOSs had passed the appointed bounds of human life ;
the three score years and ten allotted to man.

Born in this city when the population, enterprise and business ac-
tivities were confined chiefly to the lower end of the island, his life
covered that period of phenomenal growth which has been one of the
characteristic features of modern history, and not only of growth,
but also of change from a condition of somewhat primitive simplicity
to one which by contrast, while marked by enormous energy, may be
characterized in part as artificial, tawdry and pretentious ; yet aston-
ishing when comprised within the limits of a single human life.

Our departed friend was fortunate in having placed before him in
the family life an example of the highest probity in one whose
paternal name he bore. His training in strict business ideas and
habits touched the highest standard of commercial integrity, and
doubly contributed to the formation of some of the best elements of
his character. Simple and unpretentious in his habits of life, Mr.
AUCHINCLOSS possessed solid qualities which entitled him to the just
consideration and confidence of his associates.

His relations in business, in financial institutions and religious
trusts, are satisfactory proofs of this.

He inherited the old Scotch loyalty to family traditions and rela-
tions ; his kindly and genial qualities were recognized by all, and his
associates recall these marked features of his character with tender
regret to his memory.

TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT.

To the Trustees and Members of the American Museum of Natural
flistory :
The progress of the work of the Institution for the year just
closed is briefly presented for your consideration.

Finances.—The Treasurer’s report for the year 1892 shows the
receipts to have been as follows :

The Department of Public Instruction was carried on by the
Trustees at a cost of $4101.70 in excess of the sum received from
the State.

ENDOWMENT Funp.—This fund has been increased since the
last report by the gift of $5,000 by Wm. C. Schermerhorn, Esq.,
and the bequest of a similar amount from the estate of the late
Miss Sarah M. Hitchcock.

During the early part of the year the Legislature passed a measure
authorizing the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to grant
annually $50,000 in addition to the $25,000 then authorized by
law. The terms of the bill provided that the Museum should be
open free to the public every day in the week except Monday,
and including Sunday afternoon.

In conformity with this law, the Park Board was empowered
with the consent of the Trustees to modify the contract in regard

8

to the days of opening; this has been done and the results are
gratifying ; the average attendance on Sunday exceeding six
thousand persons. The total number of visitors during the year
was 412,558. .

Chapter 423 of the Laws of 1892 was approved by the Governor,
May 2d. Its terms authorized the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment to appropriate four hundred thousand dollars for the
erection and equipment of an addition to the Museum, and for
other purposes therein specified. In conformity with these pro-
visions the Trustees have selected the architects, and plans have
been prepared for the building which is greatly needed.

LECTURES.—By arrangement with Columbia College, lectures
have been delivered, in codperation with the Museum, on Natural
History subjects; the results have been eminently satisfactory
and have attracted large audiences. The courses comprised
Forestry, Astronomy, Mineralogy and Chemistry.

MEETINGS OF SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIFS.—The annual exhibition
of the New York Microscopical Society was given at the Museum
on April 22d, and was attended by twenty-five hundred people.

The joint meeting of the societies composing the Scientific
Alliance was held in the lecture hall, and the regular meetings of
the American Ethnological Society of New York, Linnzan
Society, Entomological Society of New York, and the Mineral-
ogical Society of this city are held in the reading room of the
library.

FORESTRY COLLECTION.—The Jesup Collection of Woods has
been enriched by the gift from C. P. Huntington, Esq., of an
excellent section of the Redwood, and an equally good example
of the Giant Sequoia from California.

GEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT.—A notable addition to this depart-
ment was three large blocks of limestone from Beirut, Syria,
donated by the Protestant College of that place through the Rev.
DD. Stuart Dodge. The entire collection of minerals has been
transferred to the west wing of the new building. The lately
purchased Spang Collection of Minerals has been incorporated

9

with the former collection and has added largely in numbers and
interest to the department. The collection now compares favor-
ably with the most important of its kind in the country.

The collections of gems and gem material presented by
J. Pierpont Morgan, Esq., has been arranged and displayed in
cases specially constructed for this gift. It presents a most
attractive appearance, and a more instructive illustration of the
uses of gem stones than any similar collection.

The large mass of copper ore, taken from the Anaconda Copper
Mine, Butte, Montana, is displayed in the west wing; its weight
is 6041 pounds and it is especially rich in both copper and silver.
The Trustees are indebted to Mr. James B. Haggin for this unique
and valuable specimen.

Examples of gold and silver ores have been received from Mr.
D. O. Mills. Specimens of phosphate rock used for artificial
fertilizers were presented by Mr. N. B. Powter, and a collection
of Corundum “ Emery Ores,” and samples of the manufactured
articles, by L. Best, Esq., of the Sterling Emery Wheel Co. of
this city.

THE CONCHOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT has been increased by
material added from the extensive collection donated by John J.
Crooke, Esq., previously acknowledged. The valuable gift of
shells from Mr. D. Jackson Steward was also placed on exhibition.
This collection is notable for the extreme beauty and perfection
of the specimens, and contains a large number of very rare
examples.

DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALS AND BirpDs.—The collections have
been increased during the year mainly through donations; r100
mammals, 400 birds, and 150 reptiles and fishes have been added.
The principal gifts have come from Mr. George B. Sennett, Dr.
Hdear A) Meatns, U. 5. A., and-Mr. Leverett M: Loomis, of
Chester, S. C. Other important accessions have been received
from the late Cyrus W. Field, Mr. C. B. Cory, of Boston, and Mr.
Robert H. Lawrence, of Oregon. As usual, many valuable speci-
mens have been received in the flesh from the Central Park
Menagerie, through the kindness of the Park Commissioners,

LO

Through the codperation of the proprietors of the ///ustrated
American, the Museum was enabled to send a collector with their
Archeological Expedition to the San Juan region of Colorado,
Utah and New Mexico, resulting in the acquisition by the Museum
of a large number of mammals and birds. The former proved
especially valuable, containing several species new to science.

Early in the year a new “Guide to the Exhibition Collection
of Mammals” was published, and the labeling of the collection
completed. ‘The entire collection of both birds and mammals is
in satisfactory order.

DEPARTMENT OF TaxIDERMY.—The Bison Group, Woodchuck
Group and three bird groups have been added during the year.
The latter are of a very novel and attractive character.

Fifty mammals and two hundred birds have been prepared and
placed on exhibition, the Whale skeleton remounted, and repairs
have been made on various other specimens.

BuULLETIN.—During the year an entire volume of the Museum
Bulletin has been prepared and published, consisting of nearly
400 pages of text, sixteen plates, and over thirty illustrations in
thie text

Of the fifteen papers, three, prepared by Professor Henry
Fairfield Osborn, Dr. J. L. Wortman, and Mr. Charles Earle,
relate to fossil mammals ; three, by Professor J. A. Allen, to recent
mammals; six, by Professor Allen and Mr. Frank M. Chapman,
to birds ; and six, by Mr. William Beutenmiiller, to insects.

DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.—This department has been
greatly enriched and augmented by the acquisition of the well-
known collection gathered by the late Henry Edwards, which was
partly purchased by the friends of the deceased. Reference was
made to this purchase in the report of last year.

The collection consists of about two hundred and fifty thousand
’ specimens of insects from all parts of the globe, and is extremely
rich in material from this country.

The Elliot Collection of Butterflies and Moths has been arranged
and classified and placed in the cabinets constructed for this pur-
pose. 4000 different specimens of butterflies and moths have been
displayed in the desk cases and the gallery floor of the new wing.

vast

There is now on exhibition valuable material from the Drexel,
Edwards, Angus, Elliot, Grote and Robinson Collections; and
new material will be displayed as soon as the space can be pro-
vided. The collections in the department are in frequent use for
reference by specialists and students.

DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALIAN PALZONTOLOGY.—The plan of
the department is to form representative series from each of the
twelve successive horizons of the West, in order to present a
historical development of the evolution of the mammals in North
America. Thus far five horizons have been visited : the Laramie,
Puerco, Wahsatch, Wind River and White River.

The first expedition went out in 1891 and explored the Wahsatch
and Wind River beds. The department sent a second expedition
into the Rocky Mountain region in February, 1892, under Dr.
[ete Vortman, assisted by Mr ©, A. Peterson. Phey first
explored the Puerco beds of northwestern New Mexico, and after
two months traveled north to Wyoming into the older Laramie
beds, and in July they established a camp in South Dakota. The
party was seven months in the field, and added altogether over
one thousand specimens to the new collection of fossil mammals.

From New Mexico were procured three hundred specimens
which represent some of the oldest forms on the Continent. This
collection is of special value because these fossils have been
represented hitherto only in one other collection. In the Creta-
ceous four hundred minute teeth were collected with difficulty ;
these are also very rare.

Of much more recent age are the fossils, which include ances-
tral forms of Tapirs, Horses, Rhinoceroses, of the Deer, Camels,
of the older carnivorous animals such as the Cats, besides repre-
sentatives of many large extinct families. Several of the larger
skeletons are sufficiently well preserved to be mounted upon large
panels of plaster resembling the sandstone in which they were
found originally ; among these are three Rhinoceroses of different
types, one of which is as large as the modern Rhinoceros of
Sumatra, and is the finest specimen of the kind yet discovered.

All this collection is being worked out of the stone as rapidly
as possible, and it is proposed to exhibit it in one end of the new
Geological Hall.

12

We are under obligation to Mr. E. T. Jeffery, President of the
Denver and Rio Grande R. R. Co., Marvin Hughitt, Esq., Presi-
dent Chicago and Northwestern Ry. Co., and John King, Esq.,
President N. Y., L. E. & W. R. R. Co., for courtesies extended
to the staff of the department.

DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAZOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY. — The
Terry Collection, containing some 26,oco00 numbers, has been
(with the exception of the material from New York State and
Pennsylvania) arranged and placed on permanent exhibition
in the new building, occupying cases A B and C and the three
desk cases opposite; it also occupies the major portion of case D,
and part of E, space being left to interpolate other Museum
material. The Sturgis Collection, representing the island life of
the Pacific Ocean, has been similarly treated. Lack of space
prevents the display of all the material in this collection, and a
considerable amount of it is carefully packed and stored, and is
waiting the completion of another addition to the Museum.

The important collection of Jadeites, Nephrites and objects of
allied material, numbering 494 specimens, gathered by Mr. George
F. Kunz, has been purchased by the Trustees. This unique
collection will be exhibited early in 1893.

A most important accession to this department and the Museum
during the past year is the material obtained by the Henry Villard
Expedition to Peru, South America. At present we have received
twenty packages containing pottery, textile fabrics, weaving
implements, mummies, sculptures and more than three hundred
gold, silver and copper ornaments, the result of thorough research
and excavation at the ruins of Pachacamac and Surco. Detail
plans and colored drawings of these ruins have been made by the
explorer. The expedition (supported entirely at the expense of
Mr. Villard) has for its object an extended research into the Inca
civilization of Peru, and is to cover a period of three years before
the completion of the work.

Mr. Ad. F. Bandelier, to whom has been intrusted, by Mr.
Villard, this important work, is well known as one of the foremost
Archezologists of this country.

13

Liprary.—The growth of the library is of a very gratifying
character, the accessions being equal to 2135 volumes. ‘The total
number of the latter at the close of the year was in excess of
twenty-six thousand. The works on Entomology, composing the
library of the late Harry Edwards, were acquired through purchase
by the Trustees.

Four hundred volumes have been donated by Alexander I.
Cotheal, Esq., and 168 volumes and 369 colored plates of birds,
by Mr. Samuel P. Avery. Valuable donations have also been
received from the Hon. Levi P. Morton, Hon. Roswell P. Flower,
Mr. William E. Dodge, Mr. Morris K. Jesup and Mrs. S. Lawrence.
Three large microscopes were presented by Mr. Cotheal.

The Annual Reports and the volume of the Bulletin have been
sent to kindred institutions here and abroad.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.—After the ciose of
the Spring Course of Lectures to ‘Teachers (given under the
auspices of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction), and
the passage by the Legislature of the usual appropriation for
continuing this course of instruction, it was a surprise that this
item failed to become a law; but believing that upon a fuller
knowledge of the public value of this work, the Governor would
cordially aid the department to fulfil the terms of the contract
with the Museum, the Trustees generously took upon themselves
the expense of continuing the work until the next Legislature
should convene and make the customary appropriation, and dur-
ing the last autumn the following course of lectures was delivered
to members of the Museum, by Professor A. S. Bickmore, and to
which the teachers of New York City were invited :

QELs ZOHO Waris The Atmosphere.

Lectures were also delivered in the afternoon of Thanksgiving
Day, Christmas, New Year’s and Washington’s Birthday ; these
latter were free to the public.

14

MeMBERSHIP.—During the year the following gentlemen have
become Patrons: Mr. Henry Villard, Dr. William Pepper and
Mr. James Angus.

Mr. Samuel P. Avery, Mr. James H. Jones, James B. Haggin,
Esq., and Mrs. Richard P. Dana, have been elected Fellows.

Accessions of life members are Mr. A. N. Towne, Miss Frances
Pell, J. W. Reinhart, Esq., Mr. John Alsop King, Mr. William
Niven, Mr. William F. Sebert and John King, Esq.

The ceremonies pertaining to the formal transfer of the new
building to the Trustees by the Park Commissioners, took place
November 2d last, and a detailed statement of the proceedings
on that occasion is presented in a later portion of this report.

The important progress of the three preceding years has been
repeated during 1892, and unless unforeseen difficulties arise
a similar advance may be expected in the future. The Trustees
have bestowed their time, attention and money unselfishly in
ministering to the best interests of the Institution; they are inspired
by an earnest pride in the work of giving to this city and country
a Museum filled with the richest treasures from every domain of
Natural History ; a Museum that shall be the peer in every respect
to the most renowned museums of Europe, and that will offer to
the masses of the Empire City a home where they may find that
recreation, entertainment and education which serves to elevate
and ennoble their life and character.

I desire in closing to refer with gratitude to the faithful service
rendered during the year by the several curators and others in
charge of departments; and by all the officers and employés of
the Institution.

ADDRESSES AT THE RECEPTION

TENDERED BY THE TRUSTEES OF THE
American Museum of Natural History,
AT THE MUSEUM BUILDING,

Seventy-seventh Street and Eighth Avenue, New York City,
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER ad, 1892,

Jn Commemoration of the opening of the ew CHing.

Opening Address of Morris K. Jesup, President of the Museum :

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FELLOW MEMBERS OF THE AMERI-
CAN Museum oF NaturRAL History.—On behalf of the Trustees
I bid you acordial welcome this afternoon. Before proceeding
to make to you any statement with reference to the Museum
affairs, it will be necessary for us to have presented by the city
the buildings which you are called this afternoon to inspect. I,
therefore, have great pleasure in introducing to you the Hon.
Paul Dana, the President of the Department of Public Parks, who
will present this building to the Museum authorities.

The Hon. Paul Dana, President of the Department of Public
Parks, presenting the Building on behalf of the City to the
American Museum of Natural History, spoke as follows :

Mr. PRESIDENT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.—It is about fifteen
years since the occurrence of an event similar to this. It was in
1877, I believe, when Mr. Stuart, President of the Natural
History Society, received from Mr. Martin, then the President of
the Park Board, the first completed section of this building.
To-day I have the honor to deliver to Mr. Stuart’s successor,
Mr. Jesup, the new wing. When we see the splendid results of
the few years of this Society’s existence, we feel that Mr. Stuart
. must have possessed qualifications for his duties equal to those

20

of Mr. Jesup, for certainly this institution could not be what it
is to-day if it had not been conceived in a wholly liberal mind,
and its work begun with the best of energy and understanding.
Many of you are familiar with its entire growth. A few years
ago it was a tenant on sufferance in cramped quarters in the old
arsenal on the other side of the park. It is here an equal partner
with the city in this admirable portion of a much greater build-
ing still to come, recognized as one of the city’s most valuable
ornaments, with an equipment which gives it a place among the
great public collections, and with a future of brilliant and un-
limited hope. Its excellence may be judged partially by the
readiness with which the City Authorities have contributed
towards its enlargement. I think the Trustees will bear me out
in saying that public money has always been forthcoming for its
benefit, with all the freedom that is consistent with official respon-
sibility. In order that you may have a better idea of what it is
we are about to dedicate, I have been requested to describe it
more in detail. The architect, as you know, was Mr. Cady. His
success is evident. I trust that this later monument of his art
may not meet with the unfortunate fate of one lower down town,
the Metropolitan Opera House; but to guard against that this
one is entirely fire-proof so far as it can be made so. Omitting
the cases for exhibition 1t covers 23,000 square feet, which with
the old building makes 37,000 square feet. It has three exhibi-
tion halls, 60 x 110 feet ; six, 25 x 1rd; a lecture room) oomaencar
and a library, 25 x 108, in which the books are piled in practically
indestructible stacks of iron. There are five thousand running
feet of exhibition cases. The money appropriated for the work
was $800,000, of which $100,000 was spent in repairing the old
building, and $75,000 in the cases, so that the net cost of the new
wing was less than $600,000 ; and it is proper to say that there is
not a charge for extra work in the record of its construction.
Besides this, nearly a half million dollars has been assigned for
further additions, chiefly for a lecture hall much larger than this
to meet the need which has been amply proven by the success of
the lectures.

It is not for me to stop for any eulogy of this institution,
although here, according to Mr. Spencer, are the foundation

21

stones of education. Science and scientific cultivation, in his
opinion, furnish the true basis not only of the higher learning,
but of every intellectual elegance and accomplishment. You all
know what the Museum is. You may imagine what it will be
when its buildings shall cover Manhattan Square, and it will be
asking for more room still. Contemplation of its future moves
me to introduce another subject closely related with it ; but first,
it 1s necessary to refer to a certain portion of the Museum, in
order that there may be no misunderstanding of my remarks.

- There is here the collection of woods known, I believe, as the
Jesup Collection. A more original, a more beautiful, a more
instructive feature of a Museum doesn’t exist. I am proud to
think that I had some part in hunting for its specimens. ‘That
stands by itself. It needs neither praise nor apology. Under
Mr. Jesup and his colleagues, the Natural History Museum has
enjoyed a model administration. ‘he President himself has been
a contributor of unequaled liberality and success, and the collec-
tions here are of unexceptional value throughout. It would be
difficult to find an institution built up with a more disinterested
spirit of contribution and a sounder supervision. What I am
about to say fails of application here. Nevertheless I must speak
of a danger which overhangs all public institutions waiting to be
filled with private gifts, frequently to their serious damage. A
generous contributor is often tempted from a desire to perpetuate
the memory of his own individuality and fancy, in addition to
perpetuating his name, to impose conditions upon his gift which
may conflict with the general advantage of the Museum as a whole.
He demands that his collection shall be accepted and preserved
intact. It must have special accommodations. ‘Those accomo-
dations are often established and provided for thereafter by
special funds. Yet there may be in those collections some speci-
mens, either scientific or artistic, which are a duplicate of those
already owned. There may be other inferior specimens which an
impartial expert would prefer to wait for in a better form. So, if
it is provided that this gift, which on the whole is too valuable to
be rejected, if it is provided that it shall exist as it is given, just
as the particular taste or the opportunities of the collector may
have made it, it enforces a most unbecoming sacrifice in the

22

shape of room which can be ill afforded, and which a wise and
unhampered management of a museum would reserve for better
uses later on. This may sound somewhat harsh and ungracious,
yet as the representative of*the city department through which
the public money is expended for housing and caring for this
institution, it is proper for me to bring the facts mentioned to the
attention of all whom in the fullness of their public spirit they
may concern.

With an apology for the intrusion of these remarks, I now have
the honor, in the name of the city, to transfer this building to
the keeping of you, sir, the President of the Natural History
Museum.

Address by Morris K. Jesup, President, accepting the Building on
behalf of the Trustees:

Mr. Dana.—It is a most felicitous circumstance, sir, that your
father was one of the incorporators of the American Museum of
Natural History, and we are very happy to have his son give us,
in behalf of the city this afternoon, this beautiful building. On
behalf of the Trustees the gift is accepted, and it will be proper
for me to state to this audience in a little detail the relations
between the city and this Museum. There is a contract duly
authorized and directed to be made by the Legislature of the State
of New York between the city and this Museum. It gives to the
Museum the use of Manhattan Square for the further use in per-
petuity of the buildings that may be erected thereon, and that
the buildings when completed are to be properly policed by the
city and kept in repair. This contract is perpetual. The city
has no right to rescind it. The Trustees on the other hand agree
that, in consideration of the contract and lease, they will occupy
the buildings with their specimens and material for the public use.
The Trustees have the right to make the appointments, and have
the entire control of the force employed in these buildings,
except the police. This was a most wise and proper arrangement,
for under it there has been no difficulty in getting the wisest and
best men to serve as Trustees, knowing and feeling that in that
office they were responsible to themselves and to the people, and

23

it is because of this responsibility that this institution and the
Metropolitan Museum of Art have grown to such vast results and
usefulness. I hope the time will never come when either of these
institutions will be looked upon for public spoil—when either
political party may feel that these institutions are to be used in any
way for political purposes. Thus far, the municipal authorities
have kindly, wisely, willingly and unselfishly left the management
of these institutions according to the contract. I think it right
that you should understand the arrangements existing between
the city and the Museum, and the conditions under which this
building is accepted to-day.

Now, I had prepared a brief address in writing to make on this
occasion, but one of our oldest Trustees a few minutes ago said
to me, “You afe not going to read an address, are you?” He
said, “I will give you $50 not to doit.” I will not take the $50,
but just say a few words with reference to this Museum. The
Trustees have a laudable pride in presenting to you this building
to-day stored as it is with so many treasures that come from
* nature, properly exhibited ; the building beautifully lighted, and
everything arranged for the comfort, pleasure and entertainment
of the public. We think the Trustees are justified in expressing
their gratification at the success which has been achieved.

Regarding the material within these walls (Mr. Dana has spoken
of the cost of these bulldings), it is right that I should tell you
that the two buildings have cost the city about a million and one-
half dollars. It is right, also, that you should know that the
Trustees and their friends, with the public, have contributed in
money and in specimens to the value of one million, seven hun-
dred thousand dollars. Three hundred thousand of which has
been given to the Trustees as an Endowment Fund, the interest
of which is sacredly pledged to the purchase of new material,
and to the enriching of the specimens and material which we
have. It is right that I should tell you that since these buildings
were opened the cost to maintain them has been about four hun-
dred thousand dollars, and while I will let the city have all the
credit that is its due, you should know that quite one-half this
sum has been paid by the Trustees and the public. Therefore,
you will observe that up to this time the city has paid only about

24

half the expenses of maintenance. But this state of things can-
not continue. ‘The expenses of the Museum are constantly in-
creasing. You,as New Yorkers, would have but little confidence
in the Trustees if we remained as now, with no progress. The
Museum cannot stand still. It must go on; wing after wing
must be built, and in course of time—probably none of us may
live to see it—but in course of time this entire square must be
covered with buildings belonging and necessary to this Museum.
When the contract was made with the city, one of the advantages
left to the Museum Trustees is now changed. We had two days
in the week for private exhibiton ; the other four were free. The
Museum was not opened on Sundays or evenings, but as the
Museum grew in popularity, the public interest increased, and the
advantages of popular education presented themselves ; people
demanded that it should be opened free during the entire week
and two evenings, also on Sunday afternoons. The Trustees
with a magnanimity, unselfishness and generosity, which has I
think always characterized their actions, gave heed to this public
sentiment, and by an arrangement with the city it is now open
to conform to the people’s demand. By doing this we have not
only increased our expenses, but have been deprived in some
cases of large pecuniary support from friends who did not con-
scientiously approve of the change. It is right, therefore, and
proper, that this Museum and its sister Museum on the other
side of the park should require from the city authorities that they
shall sustain and maintain the Museum in all operating expenses.
Ladies and gentlemen, what a small item it is for the city to do
this in consideration of the advantages that these Museums confer
on the great masses of the people. Look at the Exhibition Halls
for amusement and instruction ; the lectures for education ; and
consider what we are doing for science and for the student. The
buildings are well lighted and heated, and contain a Lecture Hall
comfortably seating one thousand people. Is there in New York
a source of enjoyment so refined, uplifting and ennobling to the
masses of this great city as these two Museums present? Let the
city be generous and magnanimous, and appropriate to these
Museums the money they need for their proper maintenance and
exhibition.

25

I have been interested in reading the address of the late Prof.
Joseph Henry, the great scientist, in the speech that he delivered
on the occasion of the laying of the corner stone of the first
building in 1874. I wish that a copy of that address could be
placed in the hands of every lover of natural history and science
in this city. Strange to say, that although years have elapsed
since that address was made, and perhaps forgotten by many,
what he predicted these Museums should or ought to do, in a
great measure has been done. I have also been interested in
reading the remarks made by Prof. Marsh, of the Yale University,
on the same occasion. ‘That which he said was necessary to be
done, in order to make a great Museum is now in process of
development, and I may say with fair success thus far. I quote
from the words used by Prof. Marsh, on December 22d, 1877:

‘“ There is yet a more important reason for making this institution a centre
for original research. The science of to-day stands face to face with great
problems. ‘The antiquity of man, the origin of the human race, and even
the origin of life itself, are among the questions which the present day submits
to science, and to which it demands an answer. If these problems are to be
solved by science, America must do her full share of the work, for the mate-
rials are here. In all that pertains to ancient life, the Western Continent
possesses countless treasures unknown in other lands ; these, as I believe, are
to unlock many mysteries in Biology, and render important aic toward the
solution of the profounder questions I have named. American science can
thus repay its debt to the Old World where science began, and gathering new
facts from broader and richer fields within her own borders, carry forward
with the vigor and enthusiasm of youth the never ending search for truth.

““Tf the American Museum of Natural History, opened to-day under such
favorable auspices, does not take a prominent part in this great work, it will
‘ not do justice to its founders, or to its opportunities. But with such a foun-
dation as we have here, and such resources as wait to unfold their secrets

ae

within walls yet to be reared on this commanding site, I venture to predict
for natural science in America greater triumphs than have hitherto been won
in any land.”

Looking back in the light therefore of history, I cannot but
congratulate the Trustees and the city that we almost unawares
have thus far succeeded in carrying out the wise counsel and
judicious advice given to us as thus set forth.

We have great treasures stored within these walls. Take the
Department of Geology, of which Prof. Whitfield is Curator; the

26

collection of minerals has been so enriched, I think I am justified
in saying that it ranks third in this country. We have the great
collection of Prof. James Hall, that veteran scientist, whose name
is a household word among all the scientists in this land and the
world, and I am happy to say that we have him with us to-day
on this platform. This celebrated collection represents the entire
Paleontological publications of this State; it contains many
thousands of types and figured specimens, and is full of instruc-
tion and science. In the Department of Zodlogy, and of which
Prof. Allen is Curator, we have the important collections of Prince
Maximilian, of Lawrence, of Elliot and of Mearns. The De-
partment of Archzology and Ethnology, of which Mr. Terry is
Curator, contains the famous collections of Emmons, Bishop,
Sturgis, Jonesand Terry; the whole representing the Archeology
of all the United States, especially of the Pacific Coast. We have
in our Department of Entomology, in charge of Mr. Beutenmuller,
the Angus, Elliot and the Harry Edwards Collections. Prof.
Henry F. Osborn, of Columbia College, is the lately appointed
Curator of a new Department of Mammalian Paleontology, with
an efficient staff for field collection and museum work ; the pur-
poses of which department is to secure for exhibition and study
a complete series of Western fossil mammals from the earliest
and smallest to the latest and largest that have appeared on the
American Continent, and to illustrate especially the evolutions of
the horse, rhinoceros and other existing animals. The Depart-
ment of Public Instruction has been carried on under the auspices
of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction since 1884, and
during that time Prof. Albert S. Bickmore has delivered one
hundred and fifty lectures upon the collections of the Museum
and various countries which he has visited. These lectures are
already repeated in the Normal Schools and Teachers Institutes
throughout the State. Our library numbers twenty-six thousand
volumes relating to natural history. The Bulletin of the Museum,
now in its fourth volume, contains papers on a wide range of
subjects, and takes a high rank among similar publications of
scientific institutions. Guides to the collections give not only the
places of specimens in each case, but form condensed hand-books
of the subjects treated.

27

So we have endeavored to gather in this Museum not only that
which shall please the eye and cultivate the taste, but also to give
instruction to the student and the scientist. Our aim is to make
these collections more and more the source and means of study,
instruction and recreation. To do this we must have educated
men, and the codperation of our institutes of learning; our halls
will be opened to the schools and classes of this city who shall
come with their teachers to receive that instruction, and pursue
their investigations from the specimens that will make them profi-
cient in their chosen vocation. The Trustees have endeavored,
with the help of the city authorities during these many years past,
to present to you and the public to-day, a Museum equal in all
its parts, as we think, and I say it modestly, one of the best, and
if allowed to grow and progress in the future, will be one of the
most renowned museums of the world.

Address of Hon. Seth Low, President of Columbia College :

Mr. PRESIDENT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.—A few years ago
it was my good fortune to visit Mr. Edison in the establishment
which he then maintained in the City of New York. He took
me about it to see what was being done there, and as we came to
some of these bulbs, which were being prepared for the electric
light, he told me that they very early discovered that this light
could be produced in a vacuum, and their great difficulty was to
learn how to create a vacuum with commercial cheapness. At
last it occurred to him, I believe, or to one of his colleagues, that
the vacuum could be produced by driving mercury through the
glass, the mercury being dense enough to dispel all the air, or a
sufficient amount of it to answer their purpose. They thought
then that they had solved their problem, only to discover that
they could find no pump which would pump mercury, just because
it was so dense no pump would-do the work. At last it entered
the fertile mind of that magician himself that the old pump of
Archimedes, the endless screw, would do the business. As a
consequence, this most modern of inventions rests absolutely for
its possibility to-day upon one of the earliest recorded inventions
of mankind, I think that is an instructive incident.

28

I am led back in my thought to a great antiquity by this word
“museum.” In the form in which we have it, it tells of those
conquests of imperial Rome, whereby she subjugated all the world,
and in the great reach of her conquering arms finally brought
under her dominion Greece, the mother of letters and of art.
The Greeks had this thing, and they called it mouseon, a temple
of the Muses. The Romans took the thing and changed the
word into the form in which we have it, and so we are celebrating
to-day, in the opening of this new building for the Museum of
Natural History, the modern form of an idea that has occupied
the attention of mankind as something worth their while for many
centuries. |

A museum has two sides to it, what one may call the popular
side and the scholarly side. On its popular side it may serve, I
think, a two-fold purpose. The Spaniards have a proverb of a
narrow-minded man that may have originated in the days of
Columbus, for aught I know; they say of such an one that he has
never been seasick ; that is, he has never travelled; he has not
had his eyes opened by seeing different nations, by witnessing
their customs, by realizing that no nation has all the wit and
wisdom of the world, nor all the goodness of it either. A city
like New York, to which so many different nationalities come, is
a cosmopolitan city because they come here, but there is some-
thing in different countries besides the people that inhabit them,
and this Museum is one of the agencies that lays before the people
of New York that which 1s to be seen in other lands, under other
skies.

I recollect hearing an anecdote of a man living in southeastern
Kentucky, upon one of the mountains there, who had never left
his native hillside till he became a man fifty or sixty years of age.
Some momentous event in his history compelled him then to make
a journey twenty miles distant. He returned to his home and
addressed his son somewhat in this way: “Sonny, if the world is
as large in every direction as it is the way I went, I tell you it is
a whopper.”

I think, therefore, a museum is an enlarging influence, a dis-
tinctly enlarging influence, in the midst of a great population like
this, only a small portion of whom, even under modern condi-

29

tions, are able to see what is to be seen in other lands. I know,
of course, that with the development of photography the eye may
travel around the world. Men have often wondered, as you know,
how this planet would seem—what it would look like—viewed
from interstellar space. Have you ever thought that we really
look at the world in these days of ours with the eyes of the sun
itself? You remember that Scripture says that there is nothing
hid from the heat thereof, and so as you come to the lectures that
are given in these halls, and see produced day after day, week
after week, year in and year out, the pictures which the sun has
taken, that consummate and indefatigable artist, do we not realize
that those of us who are fortunate to live to-day really see the
world with the eyes of the sun itself.

But on its popular side these collections may serve another
purpose, I think. I wonder whether you recall Longfellow’s
poem upon Agassiz, written on his fiftieth birthday. He pictures
to himself nature as a nurse taking its baby child upon her lap,
and the lines go as I recall them :

“‘And Nature, the dear old nurse, took the child upon her knee,
Saying, ‘ Here is a story book thy father has written for thee.’
Come wander with me, she said, in the regions yet untrod,
And read what is easily read in the manuscripts of God.
So he wandered away and away with Nature, the dear old nurse,
Who sang to him night and day rhymes of the universe ;
And whenever the way seemed long, or his heart began to fail,
She would sing a more beautiful song or tell a more marvellous tale.’

Who can tell what the inspiring wonders of a collection like
these are upon the multitudes who pass to and fro before the
cases which contain the collections. Longfellow said on one
occasion that the most profitable course of lectures he ever de-
livered was delivered to a single student; the subject of the
course was the history of the Netherlands, and the student was
John Lathrop Motley. I do not know how many Motley’s may
pass through this hall; the world never knows its Motley’s or
its Aggasiz’s or its Humboldt’s, until they reveal themselves in
future years, but seeds may be planted here every day that will
bring forth rich fruit in the years to come. And this reflection
leads me naturally to the other side of the Museum, that which I
have spoken of as the scholarly side.

30

Every such collection is made up of two parts; that which is
placed upon exhibition to attract the eye, to interest, to amuse,
to inspire, and that which is not placed before the eye, but which
is held for purposes of investigation and research by men who
are competent to read the manuscripts of God.

Now that function is distinctively the function of the scholar,
the function of the scientific man. However much any of us may
wish to perform that service, it can be performed only by those
men to whom God has given the gift, and who have developed
the gift by education, and by nights devoted to labor, and days
devoid of ease. I count it, Mr. President, a most felicitous cir-
cumstance—to use your phrase—that upon this occasion the
President of Columbia College is permitted to take part in the
opening of this new building, because it seems to me that the
relation between the institutions of learning contained in this
city and this Museum, may be not unfairly illustrated by com-
parison with the powder and the gun. The powder and the gun,
apart from one another, have great potentiality of effectiveness ;
united they demonstrate their power. Similarly, I think, the
Museum and the institutions of learning which seek to make
researches to advance the state of human knowledge belong
together, at least in a part of their labors.

As I conceive their proper relations, it is in the main, this:
The business of a museum is to make collections, and to give the
opportunity for study. The business of a university is to use
collections, and to provide the men who will conduct the re-
searches, and tell what the collections signify to the great world
of mankind. I am happy to say what may not be known to all
of you, that relations based upon this thought have already been
entered into between this Museum and the venerable College
which I have the honor to represent. Commencing, I think, this
month, lectures will be given by Professors of Columbia College
in one of the lecture rooms of this institution, which, as I under-
stand it, are to be open to the public. The first course of lectures
is to be upon that unique and admirable collection of American
Woods which has already been referred to as the Jesup Collec-
tion; that will be followed by courses upon astronomy, upon the
mineral resources of the United States, and upon chemistry.

3)

These lectures are intended to add to the popular value of this
Museum. In connection with these services on the part of the
College, the Museum throws open its collections, and grants the
opportunity of research to the Professors and students of Colum-
bia, who may be able profitably to use them. It gives me pleasure
to say that in striving to bring about this arrangement Columbia
has had no thought or desire for an exclusive privilege. We shall
be only too glad to have our colleagues engaged with us in the
work of advancing higher education in the City of New York do
*the same thing, and profit by all the privileges that are here.
Whatever else may be true of education, I think it is distinctively
true that no great advance in education ever was made along
narrow lines. We must work together to produce the best
results for the people of the City of New York and for the in-
habitants of this country, and it is in that spirit that this arrange-
ment has been begun. I hope it will be continued and developed
until all its latent possibilities are made clear to the public as the
years roll on.

I have spoken thus far, Mr. President, of the service that this
Museum might be to the people of the city and to the scholars
of the city. I should fall wholly short of its full significance if
I did not point out to you that it was one of the great agents in
the City of New York for rendering a service to mankind. You
remember how Tennyson says of his hero in Locksley Hall, that
he is the heir of all the ages; we stand here as a country pre-
eminently the heir of all the ages. New York is the great city of
that fortunate and happy heir. I submit it to your reflection that
a city that is to rank as a great city on the memorial pages of
history, must be a city that not only receives what the rich past
has to give it, but that takes what is committed to its trust,
transmutes it into a finer gift, and hands it down ennobled and
enriched to the generations to come.

Address by President Jesup, introducing the Hon. Abram S. Hewitt,
the Right Rev. Henry C. Potter, and Archbishop Corrigan:

I know that your patience will not be taxed to wait a few min-
utes longer, for I want one of our Trustees, the Hon. Abram S.

32

Hewitt, to say a few words to you, and then we have with us
also, Iam happy to say, our friends Bishop Potter and Archbishop
Corrigan, and I am. going to ask them if they will say a few words.
It is not often that we get together, ladies and gentlemen, on an
occasion like this, and I am sure that you will not begrudge a
few minutes longer.

Address by the Flon. Abram S. Hewitt:

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.— Perhaps I ought to begin by say-
ing that I am not the Trustee who offered to give Mr. Jesup fifty
dollars in case he would’t read his address, and if I had been the
Trustee who made the offer I certainly have gained nothing by
the proposition, for Mr. Jesup has not only delivered his address,
but he has delivered it with a fullness and a force which leaves
nothing for any other Trustee to add. Bute there is one thought
which has come into my mind in listening to the addresses of
Mr. Jesup, President Dana and President Low, and that is the
duty of the city to itself in reference to the great institutions of
learning and the means of instruction which exist in this city.

St. Paul, who I think our good friend the Bishop will admit
had a level head, divided cities into two kinds, one of which he
called mean city and the other he called city, by distinction, and
he prided himself upon being a citizen of “no mean city.” Now,
you and I and all of us have a right to be proud of the City of
New York. It is not a mean city; it never has been a mean city.
In every period of its history it has shown itself to be equal to
any demand that has been made upon its intelligence, its patriot-
ism, its liberality. It is not going to be a meancity. Athens,
according to the best authority that I know, its great ruler Peri-
cles, was the type of a noble city. Pericles tells us that there was
not in Athens much spirit of private display, that there were not
much riches in private hands, that there was a wise economy, to
use his words, in the expenditures of the citizens within their
own households, but when it came to the city itself he says,
‘There is a proud consciousness on the part of the people of
Athens that they live in a noble city, and that they must be
worthy of the city,” and hence although there were no laws in

33

Athens to prevent the acquisitions of large fortunes, yet when
men acquired them they used them for the public good, and
when it happened, as sometimes it did, that there was a citizen of
Athens who was not, according to the public sentiment or judg-
ment, using his wealth wisely, the citizens got together in the
Agora and they discussed the situation and held an experience
meeting on his case, and it usually ended by voting that the citi-
zen should build a trirema or some institution for the public
benefit, and the citizen thus admonished always went and wisely
acted on the hint, lest his latter end might not be so agreeable as
his beginning.

Now the relations of the citizens of New York as a corporate
body and of the citizens as individuals to this institution and its
sister institution, the Museum of Art, are to my mind not only
felicitous, but most suggestive as to the proper use of the grow-
ing wealth with which this country is endowed. Mr. Jesup has
explained to you that the city is the owner of this building and
of the Museum of Art; that it has paid for this building, that it
has entered into a contract with certain of its citizens to admin-
ister the bounty of the city in the public good, and that these
citizens, mostly men of wealth—not all, but all men who ought
to be rich—have agreed on their side that to the extent the city
will supply the accommodations they will cause it to be filled
with worthy collections in art, in science, in every branch of
human knowledge which it is good for the citizens of New York
to study and possess.

Now this suggests what I regard as the fundamental idea
which should govern the City of New York in the administration
of its revenues and the rich men of New York, in the disposition
of their wealth. ‘There never will come a time I trust when it
will be necessary to call a public meeting in the City Hall Park
to pass upon the duty of the rich men of New York, because so
far as my own experience goes, extending back to a half a cen-
tury, there never has been a worthy object presented to the rich
men of New York which was not promptly executed by their
willing beneficence.

My young friend, President Low, who has been elevated in his
early life to the most responsible position which can be occupied

o4

by a citizen in a great community, full of the idea of what makes
a noble city, determined that New York shall realize its destiny,
has proposed and is carrying into execution the great scheme of
a University which shall include ail knowledge and secure the
codperation of every institution of learning within the limits of
this city. He has appealed to the public of New York for money
to build a suitable habitation for such university as the City of
New York ought to have, and he will get the money beyond any
doubt.

My honored friend, Chancellor McCracken, is engaged in a
work equally meritorious, and although it has not the advantage
perhaps of the venerable claims of Columbia College and may
not have the sanction of so many years in its favor, yet the work
which he proposes to do is one worthy of a great city, and he
also will find that his plans will be responded to by the rich men
of New York who sympathize with him; and so when this
institution and the Museum of Art go to the city authorities
and ask them to furnish the means for opening these halls and
those other halls on the other side of the park to the public, free
as the air of heaven on the Sabbath day, and every other day,
where is the Mayor, where is the Board of Apportionment, where
are the Park Commissioners who will deliberately say “ We are
officers of a mean city, and we will not give you the money
necessary for noble ends!”’ No. The money will be granted.
The public opinion which is developed in this room decides the
issue. The smile on the face of my good young friend, the
President of the Park Department, indicates that he will go to the
Board of Apportionment and ask for all the money that the Leg-
islature has authorized. And I know the Mayor of this city well
enough to know that coming as he is to the close of an adminis-
tration longer than is usual in the municipal history of this city,
I know that he and his colleagues will desire to signalize his
administration by a crowning act of public beneficence for which
the people of New York will be profoundly grateful.

Address of the Right Rev. Henry C. Potter:

It is so very unusual to meet Archbishop Corrigan on a plat-
form in New Vork, that I think he ought to make a speech to-day,

35

and I beg him to understand that I am making it for him. I
am sure no one within these walls can have any other than
one feeling, in view of the completion of the building within
whose precincts we are gathered this afternoon. President Low,
ladies and gentlemen, has said that there are two sides to the
work of a Museum of Natural History—two aspects—and I could
not help thinking as I came here this afternoon that one of the
two which was gratified by one sense of taste was the new outside
which has been so felicitously completed. Certainly it is an indi-
cation of progress that here, in connection with the earlier con-
struction of buildings, so much, we are sure, of that New York
of which we are all proud, has been thus far completed. I
wouldn’t misrepresent my friend, the ex-Mayor, but I thought
perhaps there was a tone of that fine self-assertion in the remarks
which he has just made to you which belongs to New York, in
view especially of the recent triumph of Chicago.

A young theological student writing to me from the far west
the other day, having been to see the buildings which have been
erected in Chicago for the Columbian Exhibition, himself a
westerner, described the situation as it struck him, in a phrase char-
acteristically western, when he said: “ My Dear Bishop.—Believe
me if I tell you, after having seen these magnificent buildings,
that Chicago beats her friend.” A very large task, some of us
who know Chicago, to have been accomplished; and yet when
you remember, ladies and gentlemen, the buildings which have
been erected of singular beauty, of remarkable felicity of arrange-
ment, every one of them, I believe, designed by an architect from
New York, and decorated by a decorator from New York, that
every one of those buildings is destined, if left to itself, to tumble
down in ten years—it is a very interesting and suggestive contrast
of the remarkable result which has been achieved here within
these walls and on this site, as illustrating a wholly different end.
Believe me, we have a place for the instruction which is epheme-
ral, but we have a much more large and hungry piace for the
instruction which is permanent. This building has come to stay,
and it stands, if I understand it aright, ladies and gentlemen, for
ideas which are preéminently a part of the highest civilization in
what we believe to be the most beautiful country in the world.

36

I confess I have heard since I came within these walls one assur-
ance in regard to its future use which has filled me with profound
satisfaction. I refer to the close of my good friend’s address.
I have never met him, I think, on a public occasion, except it was
in relation to some building that he himself had reared, like the
lodging house, where I think we last met on the same platform,
or here in this completed work with which he has so much to do.
I thought, as I say, as I entered the room, of a few of the works
with which he is connected ; and my friend, the President of
Columbia College took up the same thing. I believe that one of
the great uses of this Museum of Natural History is not alone to
gather those remarkable collections which have been rehearsed
here, but also to illustrate, and if I may use the word, to transform
them into living out of dead things by the voice of the living
teacher. Believe me, after all, ladies and gentlemen, that office
is the mightiest power in the world. What we want is the nurture
of the power of process and accurate observation. We get that
in any museum, whether it be a museum of art, or of natural
history, or work of archzeology, but we get it most of all and best
of all when we get it in connection with the electric flash of some
educated and subtle mind that takes the specimen, whatever it
might be, and holding it up before the people’s eye makes it to
live, because there throbs behind the specimen the living and
cultured intellect.

My friend, Charles Waldstein, an American and a New Yorker
of whom we are justly proud, is to-day the head of the great
University in Chemistry, and a Professor in the School of Arch-
eology in Athens; went there, as I am told, a number of years
ago, when a number of his confreres had dug up in Athens a
fragment of stone over which they had been for weeks and weeks
puzzling, asking “What was it?” “Where did it come from ?”
“To what did it belong?” Then it was Waldstein, turning the
stone over and over again in his hand, held it up and said: “Why,
it is a bit of the frieze of the Pantheon.” There it was that you
have the marriage of a fine intellect and highest culture with what
is written in stone, or any work of nature. Believe me, as a New
Yorker, I am profoundly proud and thankful for the men who
have reared up for themselves remembrances ; who have enriched

37

this great city with these monuments of learning to the people of
all classes ; surely it is significant, as we sit here with the son-in-
law of Peter Cooper, who opened that other school at the other
end of this city, that on this platform are men whose names will
go down to posterity for the services they have rendered to this
Museum of Natural History, to the Metropolitan Museum of Art,
to these great classes of learning which we are here in the name
of New York to thank them for; and in your behalf, I am sure,
ladies and gentlemen, to say that we take them into our own loy-
ing care, and will guard them reverently and vigilantly for all the
future.

President Jesup invited Archbishop Corrigan to address the
audience in conclusion of the ceremonies, but the latter asked to
be excused, by reason of the lateness of the hour.

TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT.

To the Trustees and Members of the American Museum of Natural
ffistory :

Your attention is invited to the following report of the opera-
tions of this Institution during the year just closed.

FINANCES.—The Treasurer’s Report exhibits the following
receipts and expenditures :

The increase of the collections rendered necessary the con-
struction of new cases, which were made by the Trustees at their
own cost, to which is largely due the “ Dr.”’ balance.

The estimated receipts for the year fell short about $3500, and
it may also be noted in this connection that the cost of properly
maintaining the Museum was in excess of the amount allowed by
the City.

8

NUMBER OF VisiTors.—There has been no diminution of the
attendance on Sunday; on the contrary, the interest appears to
have increased. ‘The total number of visitors during the year
was 612,528. Onsome of the prominent holidays the attendance
has exceeded ten thousand persons per day.

THe TERMS OF CHAPTER 423 OF THE LAWS OF 1892 having
been modified by the Legislature of 1893, in conformity with the
wishes of the Trustees, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment
appropriated for a new wing the sum of four hundred thousand
dollars ($400,000) in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

The plans prepared by the architects appointed by the Trustees
(Messrs. J. C. Cady & Co.) were submitted to, and approved by,
the city authorities. The addition, or, as it may be properly
termed, the East Wing, will present a frontage of one hundred
and fifty-seven feet on Seventy-seventh Street, with a depth of
sixty-seven feet, providing five fully-lighted halls for exhibition
purposes.

In connection with this subject, it is a pleasure to refer to the
prompt and liberal action of the municipal administration in
cooperating with the Trustees, to provide the Museum with
enlarged facilities for the display of the specimens. This recog-
nition of the work of the Trustees furnishes encouragement in
their efforts to make this Institution one of the most important
of its kind in the country.

It is also evident at this time that a further appropriation will
be required to equip and complete the new wing, and to provide
for the alteration and full equipment of the old building made
necessary by the erection of the East Wing. This work is receiv-
ing our most earnest attention.

The Board of Estimate and Apportionment placed at the dis-
posal of the Trustees the sum of $65,000 for the maintenance of
the Museum during 1893. This sum, however, was inadequate
for its purpose, the Trustees having to provide for a considerable
deficiency.

CHARGE FOR Apmission.—For the first time in the history of
the Museum the system of charging visitors a fee for admission

9

on the reserved days was agreed to by the authorities. The plan
was put in operation on the first day of last August, but the
receipts for the last five months of the year are not a fair
criterion of the result to be expected in the future.

LuMHOLTz ExpEpDiTIon.—The investigations carried on by
Dr. Carl Lumholtz in Northern Mexico were continued during
the year. The judgment of the highest authorities in this
country warrant the statement that the results thus far achieved
are of great scientific interest and value.

EMMons ALASKAN COLLECTION. — The second collection

gathered by Lieut. George T. Emmons, U.S. Navy, and which
was incorporated in the Federal Government’s Exhibit at Chicago,
has been brought to the Museum for temporary display and
inspection by our friends, and it is hoped that the Museum may
acquire it. It contains a much wider range of objects than the
first collection purchased for the Museum in 1888, and numbers
2900 pieces.
’ With the Emmons Collections from Alaska, the Bishop Collec-
tion from British Columbia, the archzological material bought of
James Terry, and the Collections made by Dr. Lumholtz in
Mexico and by Dr. Bandelier in Peru, the Museum contains
material very fully representing the ethnology and archeology of
the Pacific Coast. The territory yet uncovered will soon, I hope,
be visited by explorers in the interest of the Museum.

LectTurEs.—The joint agreement with Columbia College has
been continued, whereby several courses of lectures were deliv-
ered, principally on subjects relating to the collections. Large
audiences have been present on each occasion, and in many in-
stances even standing room has not been available. Although
these lectures were a radical innovation, no question can be raised
as to their great value. They have come to bea most valuable
auxiliary in bringing the collections before a larger class of the
people, and have provided the means of broadening the educa-
tional influence of the Museum. Much of, the value of the col-
lections depends upon the wide use made of the material, and by

10

this means it is sought to make them instructive and interesting
to our citizens.

The usual courses of twenty lectures to the teachers of the
Public Schools have been delivered by Professor Bickmore during
the spring and fall, under the joint contract between this Institu-
tion and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. ‘The
Act continuing this work passed the last Legislature and received
the approval of Governor Flower. In addition to the free lectures
to the public delivered by Professor Bickmore in the afternoon of
New Year’s, Washington’s Birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas,
he has also given the following four lectures to members of the
Museum during November and December :

World’s Fairs, from London, 1851, to Paris, 1889.

The Columbian Exposition of 1893—Its Organization and Administration.
Department of Mines and Mining—lIron, Copper and Salt.
Department of Mines and Mining—Silver, Gold and Diamonds.

Reference must also be made to the system inaugurated
this year, of giving a series of talks or informal lectures in the
library Saturday afternoons. These have been delivered by the
assistant curators of the several departments, and were illustrated
by specimens from the collections. The plan at once met with
pronounced and popular favor, and has demonstrated the need of
a small lecture hall for this purpose.

MEETINGS OF SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES.—The New York Micro-
scopical Society again held its Annual Exhibition at the Museum,
and the attendance largely exceeded that of the previous year.

Other scientific bodies hold their regular meetings in the build-
ing, and its use by such societies is encouraged.

MEETINGS OF THE FacuLty.—The adoption of a plan to
ensure a uniform system of labeling has long been desired, and
to this end the President has called the Faculty together on
several occasions. The discussions have resulted in the adoption
of a popular and instructive series of labels, and a better devised
system for the exhibition of the material.

et

Reference is made in another part of this report to the decease
of the late Mr. Benjamin H. Field and Mr. Charles G. Landon.
Through the death of these gentlemen the Trustees have lost two
valued associates, whose services were always directed in the
interest of the Museum.

FORESTRY COLLECTION.—A large section of Tideland Spruce
and one of Douglas Fir have been added to this department
through the kindness of Hon. W. F. Matlock, Pendleton, Oregon.

Forty small sections of plank, and the same number of speci-
mens showing bark, were also donated by the Japanese Commis-
sioners.

Both of these donations were a part of the Forestry exhibit of
the late Columbian Exposition.

GEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT.—The usual work of labeling and
cataloguing has been carried forward in the Paleontological Col-
lections. Many important additions were made to the Mineral
Department. The large examples of Malachites, Azurites and
Stalactites, the gift of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining
Company, are the most important and conspicuous objects in the
department.

Beautiful sections of Agatized Wood from Arizona were
donated by the Hon. Seth Low, LL.D., President of Columbia
College, and by N. W. Bell, Esq.

A fine crystal of Beryl, and a boulder containing Chrysolite,
were presented by Dr. O. P. Hubbard.

Mr. J. Stanton, President of the Central Mining Company,
Lake Superior, donated a large block of crystallized native copper.

A group of rough moss Agates and Calcedony from Cuba, W.I.,
were given by Sefior Lopez De Lara.

A very rich specimen of crystallized silver from the Bland
Mine, Richmond Basin, Arizona, has been added to this
collection. This, and other showy material, was acquired by
purchase.

CONCHOLOGICAL COLLECTION.—This collection has been en-
larged by the addition of material heretofore not displayed.

12

Much still remains packed in the study rooms for want of exhibi-
tion space. ‘The major portion of the D. Jackson Steward Col-
lection has been determined, labeled and arranged in the cases.

DEPARTMENT OF MamMaALts, BirpDs, REPTILES AND FISHES.—
The accessions received during the year have been derived
mainly from Museum expeditions, a few mammals and birds being
added by purchase, while the most noteworthy gift is a small
collection of birds and reptiles from the late Charles Slover
Allen, M.D., of this city. Many valuable specimens have been
received by exchange. A large Alligator Gar was presented by
ibewie, IakGe Qidl, U2 So A

As usual, many valuable specimens have been received in the
flesh from the Central Park Menagerie, through the courtesy of
the Commissioners of the Department of Public Parks. A num-
ber of mounted skeletons and several hundred skulls were added
to the resources of this department during the year.

DEPARTMENT. OF TAXIDERMY.—In addition to the current
work of this department the whole collection of mounted birds
has been revised and put in order, repairs being made where
found necessary. ‘The Woodchuck Group has been repaired and
placed on display, and the preparation of the Moose Group—a
companion piece to the Bison Group—is well advanced.

DEPARTMENT OF ENNTOMOLOGY.—More than three thousand
specimens were added to this collection through expeditions to
localities in the neighborhood of this city and in Connecticut.

The Butterflies and Moths of the Henry Edwards Collection
were transferred to cases constructed for their reception, and these,
as also similar material from the Elliot and Angus Collections, are
now easily accessible, and frequent use is being made of them by
students and specialists. Satisfactory progress has been made in
the work of cataloguing and numbering the specimens.

DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALIAN PAL#ONTOLOGY.—I desire to
congratulate the Trustees on the great success of this depart-
ment. Although only in the third year of its establishment, the

18

work thus far accomplished is unequaled by that of any other
department for a similar period. It is believed that the collec-
tions already equal in importance those secured by other Insti-
tutions through many years of effort. The plan adopted in the
display of this material is unique, many new features having been
introduced. The intention to form a great collection to represent
the evolution of the mammals of North America is being suc-
cessfully carried out.

Thus far the expeditions to the Rocky Mountain Region have
secured one thousand four hundred and eighty-eight specimens.
During the past season the explorations were continued under
Dr. J. L. Wortman, and the material collected gives very gratify-
ing results. The latter part of the trip was spent in the Bridger
Basin, Wyoming, and here the greatest success was met with,
fifteen perfect skulls having been obtained. The expedition
also secured some of the remains of the monkeys, horses,
tapirs, primitive rhinoceroses and rodents of this period, many
of which were in an unusually perfect state of preservation.
The most notable specimen in the collection is the complete
skeleton of a large Carnivore of the size of a tiger, which has
been mounted upon a stone panel, and is the most perfect speci-
men of the kind ever found. These fossils are being placed tem-
porarily in two cases in the hallway of the Geological floor
pending the construction of the East Wing.

A new system of descriptive pictorial labels has been designed
for the collections in this department. Each large label will
show a restoration of the animal, and smaller labels give figures
of the skeleton showing in black the portion displayed. To
supplement these pictorial labels, a series of ideal scenes of the
geological periods represented have been prepared, showing land-
scapes and groups of animals characteristic of each.

The services of Professor Henry F. Osborn as Curator of this
department are gratuitous, the department being further assisted
by an annual contribution from W. H. Osborn, Esq.

DEPARTMENT OF ARCHHZOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY. — Much
time was consumed in the work of revising and comparing the
original catalogues with the later ones prepared for the depart-

14

ment, causing a delay in the numbering, labeling and cataloguing
of other material.

The collection of Jadeites and Nephrites, purchased of George
F. Kunz, have been numbered and displayed in connection with
other material of this nature, owned by the Museum.

Plans for additional desk cases have been prepared for this
department, such cases being urgently needed.

LiBRARY.—The accessions to the library have not been equal
to those of the preceding year, although the increase has nearly
filled the shelves. How to provide additional space for the
material will be a question to be considered during the coming
year. In view of the average number of yearly accessions it is
evident that the present accommodations will soon become in-
sufficient. The total number of volumes now exceeds twenty-
eight thousand, and there is a large collection of maps. Of the
above number one thousand five hundred and seventy-seven
volumes were added this year, largely through purchase and ex-
change. The increase in the number of teachers, students and
scientists who make use of the library for the purpose of research
is very noticeable.

Mr. Samuel P. Avery donated eighty-five volumes of rare and
useful works on Botany, Conchology and Zodlogy. Other valu-
able gifts were received from the Hon. Levi P. Morton, Hon.
Roswell P. Flower, Mr. Morris K. Jesup, Albert, Prince of
Monaco, and Hon. N. S. Reimer, U. S. Minister to Cuba. Mrs.
C. Sniffen presented three original water-color drawings of the
Smithsonian Institution, and three rare engravings.

PuBLICATIONS.—During the year another complete volume of
the Museum Bulletin (Vol. V) has been published, and Part I
of the quarto series of Memoirs has appeared. The Bulletin
consists of twenty-one papers prepared by the curators, making
about three hundred and sixty pages, with eight plates and
seventeen cuts in the text. The Department of Mammals and
Birds is represented by thirteen papers; the Department of
Mammalian Paleontology by five, and the Department of En-
tomology by three. The Geological Department is represented

15

by a paper of thirty-seven quarto pages, and three plates pub-
lished in the Memoirs.

ENDOWMENT FuNnpD.—The importance of a much larger En-
dowment Fund has frequently been brought to your notice in
former reports. Only the interest of the present fund is available
for the purchase of collections, and with the rapid growth of the
Institution our usefulness may be seriously retarded by the lack
of means to acquire new and important material. There are
occasions when the inability to purchase a collection may work
great injury. Our citizens have but little conception of the
rapidity with which the Museum has grown during the past few
years, and if this growth is to continue we need to be placed ina
position to take advantage of favorable opportunities. An
addition of five hundred thousand dollars to our Endowment
Fund would yield an increase of income sufficient to maintain
the present progress of the Museum for many years. The In-
stitution has been fortunate in the aid thus far received from its
friends, but I may be pardoned for repeating that the income
devoted to the enlargement of the collections has not been nearly
sufficient for that purpose. The advancement has been most
gratifying even under unfavorable conditions, but this fact only
serves to emphasize the need of greater means.

It is with pleasure that I refer to the zealous assistance afforded
me by my associate Trustees in administering the affairs of
the Museum. They have willingly given every aid that attention
and money could render, and to them the Institution is largely
indebted for its prosperity.

In closing, it is but just to note the faithful service rendered by
the curators and heads of departments, and by all the employees
of the Museum, for which I desire to express my cordial appre-

ciation.

En QDemoriam.

During the past year the Trustees have been called
to mourn the loss of two of their late associates on this

Board,

BENJAMIN H. FIELD,
CHARLES G. LANDON.

At the regular quarterly meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the AMERICAN MuSEUM OF NATURAL
History, held May 8th, 1893, the following minute
was unanimously adopted and ordered to be entered
upon the records : ,

Since their last regular meeting the Trustees have been called
to mourn the decease of two of their valued and honored associates,
Mr. BENJAMIN H. FIELD, who died March 17th, 1893, and Mr.
CHARLES G. LANDON, whose decease followed on the 24th day
of the same month.

Mr. FIELD became a Trustee of the Museum at the date of its
incorporation, he having been a Charter Member. He took an
active interest in the meetings of the Board, seldom failing to be
present, and his cordial approval of the work of the Museum was
shown by the frequent visits he made to its halls.

Mr. LANDON became a Trustee at the Annual Meeting in 1882,
and was elected at that time a member of the Auditing Committee,
and in the year 1886 was chosen a member of the Executive
Committee ; and, with the exception of an interval of two years,
served continuously on both committees with great acceptance
and fidelity until his decease.

The Trustees desire to enter upon these minutes an expression
of their high appreciation of the character and worth of their late
colleagues ; of the earnest and untiring interest of each in the
growth and prosperity of the Museum ; and of the personal esteem
and affection in which the members of this Board will ever cherish
the memory of their earnest codperation in the development of
this institution.
