UPON

THE CONDITION AND PROGRESS OF THE U. 8S. NATIONAL MUSEUM
DURING THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1905,

By Ricuarp Ratrusun,

Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in charge of the U. S. National Museum.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS.

The establishment of a museum for this Government, which was
intended to embrace all of the national collections, was provided for
in the act of Congress of August 10, 1846, founding the Smithsonian
Institution, as follows:

Whenever suitable arrangements can be made from time to time for their reception, all
objects of art and of foreign and curious research, and all objects of natural history, plants,
and geological and mineralogical specimens belonging to the United States, which may be
in the city of Washington, in whosoever custody they may be, shall be delivered to such
persons as may be authorized by the Board of Regents to receive them, and shall be so
arranged and classified in the building erected for the Institution as best to facilitate the
examination and study of them; and whenever new specimens in natural history, geology,
or mineralogy are obtained for the museum of the Institution, by exchanges of duplicate
specimens, which the Regents may in their discretion make, or by donation, which they
may receive, or otherwise, the Regents shall cause such new specimens to be appropriately
classed and arranged.

The Smithsonian fund at the time it was turned over to the United
States in 1838 amounted to about $515,000, but by 1846 interest had
accrued to the extent of about $240,000 additional. The latter sum
was made immediately available for the construction of a building
and for other purposes incidental to the first equipment of the Insti-
tution, but the principal, invested by the Government, was to
remain intact, only the interest therefrom to be applied to future
operations. For the period in question this endowment was, with
perhaps one or two exceptions, larger than that of any other learned
establishment in America, and Congress was led to believe that the
income would be sufficient to meet all the requirements it had
imposed. Events which soon followed showed, however, that this
view was not justified, and in 1857, when the completion of the
Smithsonian building rendered possible the transfer of the specimens
from the Patent Office, Congress found it necessary to aid the Insti-

1

tution by small appropriations for constructing cases and caring for
the collections, and some twenty years later the entire expense
on this account was assumed by the Government.

Jt should be explained, however, that beginning as early as 1850
important materials for a museum were being assembled by the
Smithsonian Institution, at its own cost, through the activities of
its assistant secretary, Prof. Spencer F. Baird, whose personal bent
was toward the collection and study of natural history specimens.
With the approval of Secretary Henry he put into operation exten-
sive plans for accomplishing this purpose, which were soon yielding
abundant returns. Professor Baird’s own vacations were spent in
field work. Officers of the Army and Navy and of other branches of
the Government service, fishermen, fur traders, private explorers,
and such powerful organizations as the Hudson’s Bay Company and
the Western Union Telegraph Company were enlisted in the work
and rendered valuable assistance. The influence exerted by these
beginnings has, moreover, been lasting and widespread, as shown in
the extensive natural history operations of subsequent national and
State surveys, the organization of the Bureau of Fisheries .and
Bureau of Ethnology, and the support given to scientific collecting
by many other bureaus of the Government.

The discussion of plans for the organization of the Smithsonian
Institution, which devolved upon the first Board of Regents, led, in
January, 1847, to the unanimous adoption of the following resolu-
tion expressing approval of the museum feature as one of its impor-
tant functions:

Resolved, That it is the intention of the act of Congress establishing the Institution, and
in accordance with the design of Mr. Smithson, as expressed in his will, that one of the prin-
cipal modes of executing the act and the trust is the accumulation of collections of speci-
mens and objects of natural history and of elegant art, and the gradual formation of a library
of valuable works pertaining to all departments of human knowledge, to the end that a
copious storehouse of materials of science, literature, and art may be provided, which shall
excite and diffuse the love of learning among men, and shall assist the original investiga-
tions and efforts of those who may devote themselves to the pursuit of any branch of

andro - re
Baw Warten

In 1879, when most of the existing Government surveys, whose
work included the collecting of specimens in the field, had been estab-
lished, Congress deemed it important to practically reenforce the
provisions of the act founding the Institution, in order that there
might be no doubt as to the proper disposition of the material derived
from these sources, by the following item in the sundry civil appro-
priation act for 1880:

All collections of rocks, minerals, soils, fossils, and objects of natural history, archeology,
and ethnology, made by the Coast and Interior Survey, the Geological Survey, or by any

other parties for the Government of the United States, when no longer needed for investi-
gations in progress shall be deposited in the National Museum.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 3

Although the name ‘‘ National Museum’”’ was sometimes used in
- the earlier reports of the Smithsonian Institution, it did not appear
in any of the laws of Congress, until 1875. Its general employment
may be said to date from the time of the Philadelphia Centennial
Exhibition of 1876, the first exposition in this country in which the
- Government participated, and the first to make known to vast num-
bers of the people of the United States the existence of national col-
lections at Washington, as well as new methods of installing and
exhibiting museum materials, differing radically from the older
cabinets of college or local museums, which had prevailed up to that
period. After its close the Government exhibits brought back to
Washington, together with the extensive gifts made to the United
States by private persons and foreign governments, rendered neces-
sary the early erection of a new and separate building, devoted
entirely to museum purposes.

The scope of the National Museum as defined by law comprises
practically all branches of science and of the arts which admit of
museum treatment. With exceedingly limited means for making
purchases, and therefore almost entirely dependent as to the char-
acter of its collections upon Government explorations, personal dona-
tions, and exchanges, its different departments have had a very
unequal growth. - The subjects best represented are ethnology and
archeology, geology, zoology, and botany. A fair beginning has
been made in the exceedingly important branches of the industrial
arts and American history, and scarcely more is required to place
these two departments on a proper basis than sufficient room to dis-
play the necessary collections, which are certain to be received, in
greater part through gratuitous contributions, when it is known
that the Museum is prepared to care for them. In the department
of the fine arts the collection is still very small, but the subject is
one which must sooner or later receive earnest consideration by the
Government.

The specimens in all branches are classified in two series—one,
generally comprising the bulk of the material, being arranged for
the purposes of scientific research and reference in laboratories and
storerooms; the other, selected with regard to its general educa-
tional value and public interest, and accompanied by descriptive
labels, being displayed in glass-covered cases in the public halls.
The duplicate specimens not required for exchanges are made up
into sets for distribution to schools and colleges, as opportunity
offers. Papers descriptive of the collections, both technical and
semipopular, are published for gratuitous circulation to the extent
of three or more volumes yearly, and, finally, the Museum has come
to be regarded as a bureau of information in respect to all subjects

4 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

with which it is concerned, the correspondence which this involves
now constituting one of its heaviest tasks.

The late Dr. G. Brown Goode divided the history of the Museum
into three epochs, corresponding in a general way with successive
additions to its purposes, which he described as follows:

First, the period from the foundation of the Smithsonian Institution to 1857, during
which time specimens were collected solely to serve as materials for research. No special
effort was made to exhibit them to the public or to utilize them, except as a foundation
for scientific description and theory.

Second, the period from 1857, when the Institution assumed the custody of the “National
Cabinet of Curiosities,” to 1876. During this period the Museum became a place of deposit
for scientific collections, which had already been studied, these collections, so far as con-
venient, being exhibited to the public and, so far as practicable, made to serve an educa-
tional purpose.

Third, the present period (beginning in the year 1876), in which the Museum has under-
taken more fully the additional task of gathering collections and exhibiting them on account
of their value from an educational standpoint.

During the first period the main object of the Museum was scientific research; in the
second the establishment became a museum of record as well as of research, while in the
third period has been added the idea of public education. The three ideas—record,
research, and education—cooperative and mutually helpful as they are, are essential to
the development of every great museum. The National Museum endeavors to promote
them all.

It is a museum of record in which are preserved the material foundations of an enormous
amount of scientific knowledge—the types of numeraus past investigations. This is
especially the case with those materials that have served as a foundation for the reports
upon the resources of the United States.

It is a museum of research, which aims to make its contents serve in the highest degree
as a stimulus to inquiry and a foundation for scientific investigation. Research is neces-
sary in order to identify and group the objects in the most philosophical and instructive
relations, and its officers are therefore selected for their ability as investigators as well as
for their trustworthiness as custodians.

It is an educational museum, through its policy of illustrating by specimens every kind
of natural object and every manifestation of human thought and activity, of displaying
descriptive labels adapted to the popular mind, and of distributing its publications and
its named series of duplicates. i

AS A MUSEUM OF RECORD.

The record collections of the Museum have had an unprecedented
growth, due mainly to the rapid exploration and development of a
rich and extensive country, under the liberal and progressive policy
of the Government, though much material has been derived from
other sources. The total number of specimens of all classes now
in the Museum is above 6,000,000, but this includes a very large
quantity of material which has not yet been studied. As fast as
the latter is worked up, it is placed with the record series.

The principal sources of the record as well as of the unclassified
collections have been as follows:

The earlier explorations carried on by or in conjunction with the
Smithsonian Institution.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 5

The United States Exploring Expedition around the world from
1838 to 1842, the North Pacific or Perry Exploring Expedition from
1853 to 1856, and many subsequent investigations by the Navy.

The activities of the members of the United States diplomatic and
consular service abroad. .

The Government surveys at home, such as the Pacific Railroad
surveys, the Mexican and Canadian boundary surveys, and the sur-
veys carried on by the Engineer Corps, the Signal Corps, and other
branches of the U.S. Army.

The explorations of the U. S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Bureau
of Fisheries, several bureaus of the Department of Agriculture, the
Bureau of American Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution, and
other scientific branches of the Government.

Donations and purchases in connection with the several expo-
sitions at home and abroad in which the Museum and Bureau of
Fisheries have participated since 1876.

Exchanges with foreign and domestic museums and _ with
individuals.

AS A MUSEUM OF RESEARCH.

In order to permit of their examination and study, as provided in the
act of establishment, the collections of the Museum are, to the extent
of its accommodations, arranged systematically and in a manner
convenient for reference. Access to the reserve or study series, so
called, consisting of the main body of the collections and as com-
plete in all the groups as the accessions have made possible, is given
to all properly qualified persons engaged in original research. The
opportunities thus afforded are widely availed of, the Museum being
visited every year by many investigators, some of world-wide dis-
tinction, coming from the scientific centers of Europe and other
foreign countries, as well as from all parts of the United States.
Material is also occasionally sent to representatives of other institu-
tions having the means of providing for its safe-keeping, when required
in the Sage up of special subjects or for comparison with their
own collections.

The custodianship of the collections being the first and most imper-
ative duty devolving upon the scientific staff of the National Museum,
its members find comparatively little time for advancing knowledge,
though they are selected with special reference to their ability to
identify and classify the specimens under their charge, and in fact,
every year prepare many important contributions. A number of
assistants employed by other scientific bureaus have laboratory room
in the Museum in which to conduct investigations on material kept
here in their care, and in whose results the Museum shares. Many
collections have from time to time been transferred to the Museum

6 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

by the Geological Survey, the Bureau of Fisheries, the Department
of Agriculture, and other branches of the Government in advance
of their final working up, in order to provide for their safe storage
and to secure the better facilities for study thus afforded. Under
this arrangement the amount of research work carried on in the
Museum buildings has been greatly increased. .

With practically no funds to expend in explorations, the members
of the Museum staff are mainly dependent upon the opportunities
offered by other Government bureaus and private expeditions for
such occasional field work as is carried on. In this connection special
researches may be conducted, though the chief advantage results
from the acquisition of new and valuable material and a knowledge
of the conditions under which it occurs in nature.

AS AN EDUCATIONAL MUSEUM.

The educational side of the Museum comprehends primarily the
instruction and enlightenment of the visiting public by an extensive
exhibition of representative specimens illustrating the different sub-
jects, so installed and labeled that they may be examined and under-
stood without special direction. Lack of room has prevented this
feature from being fully carried out in recent years, but better condi-
tions will prevail upon the completion of the new building. Through
the participation of the Museum: in all of the expositions since 1876,
the people in many parts of the country have also received the bene-
fits of this educational system of exhibition, which has generally
been produced on a large scale, and the formation of new museums
has been greatly stimulated.

Another popular educational feature, having for its purpose the
promotion of scientific teaching, has been the distribution to schools
and colleges throughout the country of duplicate specimens, properly
identified and labeled, and put up in carefully selected sets. Several
hundred thousand specimens have already been disposed of in this
way.

Though mainly technical and most useful to the investigator, the
publications of the Museum may be classed, in a general way, as
belonging to its educational side, being the medium through which
the nature and extent of its collections are made known. They con-
sist of the Annual Reports, the Proceedings, and the Bulletins.

THE NEW MUSEUM BUILDING.

Just previous to the beginning of the fiscal year to which this report
relates, or, to be more exact, on June 15, 1904, the work of excavating
for the foundations and basement of the new building was begun.
The ground was found to be firm and dry over nearly the entire site,

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 7

thus furnishing exceptionally good conditions for the massive struc-
ture to be erected. The excavation was completed during the sum-
mer, a considerable undertaking, since the area covered is larger than
that occupied by any other Government building in Washington
except the Capitol. The laying of the heavy concrete foundations
immediately followed and was finished on November 9, 1904.

By September 1, however, the working plans had been sufficiently
advanced to invite proposals for all the granite required, both for
the exterior faces of the building and for the courses in the courts.
There were nine bidders, though a larger number of quarries was
represented, and their proposals were opened on October 1. Sam-
ples of the granite accompanied the bids, and these were examined
with reference to the durability of the stone as well as its fitness for
best expressing the architectural design of the building and for secur-
ing harmony with the generally Saati | principle that the
exterior walls of the public buildings in Washington should be of a
light color. The material finally selected, with the approval of the
building committee of the Board of Regents, was as follows: For
the basement the warm gray, usually called pink, granite from the
quarries at Milford, Massachusetts; for the first. and second stories,
which compose the greater part of the fronts, including also the main
south central feature to the roof of the dome, the pure white granite
from the recently opened quarries at Bethel, Vermont; for the upper
story, the white granite from Mount Airy, North Carolina. The two
interior open courts, each measuring 128 feet square, will be faced
with a light-colored brick, relieved by courses and window arches
of stone. For the latter has been chosen the same variety of gran-
ite from Woodstock, Maryland, that was used in the courts at the
Library of Congress. Before the close of the fiscal year the quarry-
ing and cutting of the granite, especially for the basement, was well
under way.

During the early part of the winter a narrow section in wood of
the front of the building, to the full height of the stonework, was
erected on the foundations for the purpose of studying the proportions
as worked out on the plans. This resulted in a decision to increase
the height of the building to the extent of 3 feet, which was accom-
plished by raising the level of the basement floor 14 feet, and adding
the same amount to the height of the basement. Among incidental
advantages following this change was the opportunity for raising
the numerous pipe trenches, insuring a greater fall for the drainage
system, and for obtaining a level grade line around the building with
an architecturally better base course of stone. The -change also
permits the transfer of the lecture hall to the rotunda basement,
removing it from the center wing, which will become available for
exhibition purposes.

8 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

Contracts were entered into during the winter and spring for the
heavy steel framework for the main story floor and for much of the
inside building materials which were soon to be required.

URGENT NEEDS OF THE MUSEUM.

The Museum’s interests have been most retarded during the past
two decades by the excessive crowding of its buildings, but this con-
dition will soon be remedied in so liberal and effective a manner as
to excite the pride of the whole country. In another direction, how-
ever, there exists an almost equally important emergency, which
has so far failed to be appreciated. It relates to the. activities of
the Museum, its maintenance, and its duties toward the Government
and the public. The Museum is undermanned and the members of
the staff are to such an extent underpaid that the force can not be
held intact. It-makes no difference how large, how small, or how
crowded its buildings may be, the work must go on, and in such
degree as it is neglected is the Museum dead and useless. To the
ordinary mind a museum is a house filled with curiosities. A true
museum of modern times is never such, and the Museum of this
country has been honored by Congress with functions of a high and
important character. As the custodian of the national collections,
it is preserving material records secured through the expenditure of
many millions of dollars. So interested have the people become i
their own Museum that they have swelled these records to the extent
of a large proportion of its contents. The general public shares in
the benefits through the large and attractive, but at the same time
instructive, displays made in the several exhibition halls. Educa-
tional interests throughout the country are advanced through the
distribution to schools and colleges and the smaller museums of
the hundreds of thousands of duplicates released with the progress
of investigations. But it should not be forgotten that the collec-
tions here assembled and the researches here carried on form the
basis of some of the most important economic achievements of the
Government.

The hundreds of thousands ot visitors to the Museum obtain no
idea of the real activities going on. They see only the attendants.
They do not know that the three or four acres of floor and the 2,000
exhibition cases are cleaned every day. They have no opportunity
for learning that the display collections require unceasing care and
are always changing, for their special benefit, upon the receipt of
new material. They are not aware that behind the scenes, in labora-
tories and storage rooms, there is a multitude of work in progress—
work required by law, and work that advances both science and the
public good. If only these facts could be fully comprehended, the

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 2

Museum would undoubtedly receive that support from the Govern-
ment which its history justifies and the promotion of its usefulness
demands.

SOME IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE YEAR.

The past year has been especially signalized by the amount of
material added to the collections, which has never before been
exceeded in any one year except at the close of the Philadelphia
~ Centennial Exhibition. The bulk of this material was obtained at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition through the liberality of exhib-
itors, both foreign and domestic, whose contributions amounted in
the aggregate to over 30 carloads. Two or three of these carloads
consisted of specimens pertaining to the ethnology of several coun-
tries and to certain miscellaneous subjects, but the contents of
all the remainder were illustrative of mineral resources, chiefly of
the United States, and their manufacture. With the view of pro-
viding for the oversight of the latter a new department of the Museum,
entitled Mineral Technology was constituted under the curatorship
of Dr. Charles D. Walcott, Director of the U.S. Geological Survey,
who has also for a long period had an honorary connection with
the Museum staff. There is at present no place in which such an
extensive collection could be displayed, and it has therefore been
stored in bulk pending the completion of the new building.

Not taking into account the objects in mineral technology, since
they could not be unpacked and counted, the total number of speci-
mens received during the year amounted to about a quarter of a
million. Next in importance to the donations at St. Louis was the
generous gift by Capt. John Donnell Smith, of Baltimore, of his pri-
rate herbarium of over 100,000 plants, mainly from tropical America,
and of his choice botanical library of about 1,600 volumes. Another
benefactor was Dr. William L. Abbott, of Philadelphia, an accom-
plished naturalist, who for some seven or eight years has lived in the
Far East, devoting his time to the collection of specimens and infor-
mation in the fields of zoology and ethnology. The region he has
covered, mainly the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra, and many
near-by islands, has heretofore been practically unrepresented in this
Museum. Mention should also be made of the important field-work
done in the Philippines, especially on the island of Mindanao, by
Maj. Edgar A. Mearns, surgeon, U.S. Army, who discovered a practi-
cally new fauna on the upper slopes of Mount Apo. His valuable
collection, presented to the Museum, contains many new forms which
are now being studied.

The collections in ethnology and archeology have been greatly
enriched by explorations in the southwestern United States and by
contributions from Japan, Australasia, South Africa, Mexico, Peru,

10 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

and Argentina. The curator of birds, as the result of a trip to Costa
Rica, brought back with him over 1,800 choice specimens—a notable
addition to his division. From the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries were
transmitted large quantities of fishes and marine invertebrates, in-
cluding many types and many undescribed forms, obtained during
recent explorations, and from the U. S. Geological Survey a large
number of rock specimens, minerals, and fossils.

Over 28,000 duplicate specimens were used in making exchanges
and in the distributions to educational establishments, and above
14,000 specimens were lent to specialists for study.

Some changes were rendered possible in the exhibition halls by
replacing certain of the older collections with recent accessions,
especially on the subject of the ethnology of Malaysia and the Philip-
pines. Two noteworthy additions were the cast of a sulphur-bottom
whale, about 80 feet long, which has been suspended from the roof of
the south hall, and a skeleton of the immense fossil Dinosaurian rep-
tile, Triceratops prorsus, installed in the southwest court.

APPROPRIATIONS AND. EXPENDITURES.

The amount appropriated by Congress for the maintenance of
the National Museum during the year covered by this report was
$267,580. In the same act an additional sum of $6,500 was made
immediately available for transporting from St. Louis to Washing-
ton the large number of exhibits presented to the Government. The
appropriations for the regular expenses were the same as for the
preceding year, except that the item for the purchase of specimens
was omitted and the item for printing and binding increased by
$8,000. There was also an increase of $180 in the amount allowed
for the rent of workshops. The sum of $255,017.90 was expended
from this appropriation up to July 1, 1905, leaving a balance of
$19,062.10 to cover outstanding liabilities. Disbursements have
also been made from the unexpended balance of the previous year
amounting to $14,163.75, and from the balance for the year 1903
amounting to $141.44.

In the following statement the expenditures under each item of
the appropriation for 1904—5 are shown.

From the unexpended balances of the appropriation for 1903
disbursements were made as follows: Preservation of collections,
$39.42; books, $31.02; purchase of specimens, $71, leaving bal-
ances of $360.81, $18.74, and $279.18, respectively. These balances,
with the unexpended balances of other appropriations for the same
year, amounting in all to $787.20, have reverted to the Treasury.

The appropriations for the regular expenses of the Museum
during the year ending June 30, 1906, are the same as those for the
preceding year, the items being as follows:

A special appropriation of $1,500,000 was made for continuing
the construction of the new building for the National Museum.

BUILDINGS.

An account of the work done in connection with the erection of
the new Museum building on the north side of the Mall has been
given on a previous page. The excavation of the site, begun June
15, 1904, was finished during the summer, and the laying of the
heavy concrete foundations in the autumn. Before the completion
of this work the contracts for the granite had been awarded, and
contracts for other classes of material were let at intervals during
the remainder of the fiscal year. The heavy snows which every-
where prevailed during the winter interfered with quarrying and
prevented the delivery of stone in sufficient quantities to begin build-

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 13

ing operations until after the close of the year. There is every
prospect, however, of better progress hereafter.

In the matter of repairs to existing buildings, the roofs of the
Museum building have, as usual, demanded most attention. Con-
structed a quarter of a century ago at so low a cost as to necessitate
the strictest economy in material and workmanship, they have given
trouble almost from the beginning, and on a few occasions some of
the main sections have threatened to collapse from the weight of
snow. The temporary strengthening a few years ago of the sup-
porting framework over the main halls has continued to be effective,
but the covering, especially where of slate, has so far deteriorated as
to act almost like a sieve during heavy rains. In the last report
mention was made of an experimental trial in the direction of stop-
ping the leaks by placing over the slate of the east hall a coating of
asphalt, burlap, and slag. Having answered the purpose through
one season, the corresponding roofs over the three other main halls
were treated in the same manner during last year. The roofs of the
rotunda and southeast pavilion were also covered with asphalt and
burlap, the slag being omitted.

The slate roof over the northeast pavilion was renewed with a bet-
ter quality of slate. The window ventilators in the clearstories of
the main halls were provided with gearing to permit of their being
handled from the floor, some additional skylights were inserted over
four of the ranges, and much of the metal work, as well as of the
woodwork facing upon the roof, were painted. Several worn-out
floors in the Museum building were replaced by cement, tiles, or
wood, the men’s toilet room was entirely renovated, and many wall
surfaces defaced by leaks or time were touched up or repainted.

The 20 large windows in the archeological hall, which have for
some time been in such poor condition that a heavy storm might
crush them in, were completely repaired, reglazed, and painted, a
long and tedious work, since they are cut up into small panes set
diamond shape. The workshops and storage sheds called for a small
amount of repairs.

The trenches under the building, in which are located the steam
pipes and electric wires, were thoroughly renovated, all dead wires
being removed and the live ones placed in steel conduits. Those on
the north side of the building were found to be exceedingly damp,
caused by the seepage of water through the adjoining walls. This
condition it has been arranged to correct by the construction of a
cement platform or walk along the outside of the wall.

In view of the crowded condition of the halls only a few exhibi-
tion cases were constructed, but in order to accommodate new col-
lections, of which many were received during the year, especially
from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, a number of cases of old

14 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

patterns were remodeled to meet the requirements. The woodwork
of the mahogany cases in the north hall was refinished, and that of
the black cases in all the other exhibition halls was given a fresh coat
of paint. The old pine alcove cases of the bird hall in the Smith-
sonian building, which have been a constant source of trouble, were
made as dust-proof as possible, and the public reading tables,
formerly a feature of the exhibition halls, but temporarily removed,
were refinished and replaced.

To supply the increasing demands for storage facilities in all
departments, of a character to permit of the convenient arrange-
ment of specimens, cases to the number of 213 and drawers to the
number of 1,032, besides storage racks and shelving, were constructed
during the year. A quantity of old furniture was also remodeled
for the same purpose. Minor items to be mentioned in this connec-
tion are articles of furniture for the offices, including file and card
catalogue cases; a large number of frames for the descriptive case
labels in the exhibition halls; packing boxes for the distribution of
duplicate specimens and for field outfits, and a considerable number
of crates and cases for the storage in bulk of material for which at
present there is no place among the classified collections.

The heating of the Smithsonian and National Museum buildings
and of the three small adjacent buildings on the Mall by the steam
plant located in the basement of the Museum building was accom-
plished more satisfactorily during last winter than ever before.
Steam was first raised on October 8, 1904, and was discontinued on
May 2, 1905, being maintained on an average about sixteen hours a
day. The heating capacity in the exhibition halls of the Museum
was increased by installing two 100-foot Bundy radiators in the ves-
tibule at the north entrance and four additional ones on the east
and west sides of the north hall. The steam and return pipes from
the Smithsonian building to the western workshop were relaid in a
more perfect manner, their old covering having caused a too rapid
condensation of steam.

The total amount of fuel used in the main furnaces was 830 tons
of coal and 43 cords of wood.

At the beginning of the fiscal year a new arrangement of telephones
was adopted, whereby the cost of this service was very materially
reduced without affecting its efficiency. As an additional precau-
tion in the event of fire breaking out among the cases and other fur-
nishings, six standard alarm boxes, of the pattern used in_the District
of Columbia, were installed in as many different parts of the galleries
in the Museum building. The system connects with the office of the
superintendent, where the location of a fire would be immediately
indicated by the number of the station. :

ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS.

The principal source of accessions during the past year was, as a
whole, the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The exhibition made in
that connection by the Museum itself contained many important
objects acquired through the Government appropriation for the
exposition, which, at its close, were incorporated in the exhibition
series here, excepting such as were sent to the Lewis and Clark Expo-
sition at Portland, Oregon.

Besides these, however, and much more noteworthy, were the gifts
made to the national collections by several foreign governments, by
many States of the Union, and by a large number of individuals
having exhibits at St. Louis. So extensive in fact were these contri-
butions that they amounted in bulk to about 30 carloads, all of
which were brought to Washington in apparent safety, though, in
view of the crowded condition of the Museum, only a relatively small
amount of the material could be cared for in the exhibition halls or
with the study series, it being necessary to place the greater bulk of
the collections in storage in the boxes in which the specimens were
*packed. In addition to specimens there were also about five car-
loads of exhibition cases donated by exhibitors.

The Department of Biology profited very little from these gifts,
much the larger part being illustrative of ethnology, geology, and the
arts and industries. As the collections did not reach Washington
until late in the year and could only be partially unpacked and
examined, it is quite impossible at this time to give even a satisfac-
tory general account of them.

Reference is made elsewhere to the establishment of a Department
of Mineral Technology. The object in recognizing such a department
at this time was that intelligent direction might be given to the selec-
tion of objects at the St. Louis Exposition, where exceptional oppor-
tunities existed for obtaining material relating to the subject. The
spirit of liberality displayed by those having exhibits of this character
resulted in donations to the extent of 25 out of the 35 carloads above
referred to, representing many different parts of the world, and com-
prisivs the natural products, models or actual examples of the appli-
ances of manufacture and the finished products in many departments
of mineral industry. As it was understood that this material would
have to go into storage, it was packed at St. Louis with this object in
view, and, accordingly, no detailed inventory of the specimens can
be made for some time.

- The Department of Geology received many important additions,
especially in the way of large masses and pieces, for most of which
appropriate places have already been found in the exhibition halls.
The collections for the Department of Anthropology, next in extent

to those for mineral technology, were exceedingly varied and inter-
esting, since they illustrate the customs and industries of several peo-
ples, and will richly supplement the existing exhibition series.

The following brief and incomplete summary of the contributions
from St. Louis must suffice for the present.

From the exhibit of the government of the Philippine Islands there
was obtained a large and comprehensive collection illustrating the
arts and the social and domestic life of the natives of the Philippines,
and the resources of the islands in agriculture, forestry, mining, and
the fisheries. With this addition the Philippine collection of the
National Museum probably becomes the most important and diver-
sified of its kind in the country. Through the generosity of the Goy-
ernment of Siam a large share of its very instructive and attractive
exhibit at St. Louis was presented to the National Museum. This
collection, illustrative of the arts and industries of the Siamese, is
especially rich in the implements used in the manufacture of textiles,
and in agriculture and the fisheries, the larger objects being repre-
sented by models. It also contains a large series of mats, specimens
in mineral technology, and the skins and heads of a number of native
animals. Through the Japanese commission were secured the inter--
esting exhibit of the Red Cross Society of Japan, which had been dis-
played in the Imperial Japanese Pavilion; examples of the technical
work of the higher schools, prehistoric implements, and a very
extensive collection of mineral téchnology, comprising the exhibits
of the Imperial Geological Survey and the Bureau of Mining, and of
22 private exhibitors. Miscellaneous exhibits were also received
from other countries, as follows: Great Britain: Chemicals and other
articles used in the arts, illustrations, quarry and mining products,
from 15 exhibitors; and publications and mining charts of the Geo-
logical Survey of India. France: Contributions from 15 exhibitors
in mineral technology, book illustrations, geographical maps, ete.
New Zealand: Native woods and illustrations of the native people.
Mexico: A large variety of ores and minerals presented by 60 differ-
ent exhibitors, a series of maps of the Republic and works on ethnol-
ogy. Brazil: A dugout canoe 57 feet long, two characteristic fishing
craft with their complete outfits, and ores and minerals from the
States of Minas Geraes and Espirito Santo. Argentina: A collection
of native woods.

Besides the above, collections in geology and mineral technology,
some of large extent and great value, were obtained from the Govern-
ments or individual exhibitors of Germany, Italy, Portugal, Austria,
Belgium, Canada, Cuba, and Peru. Especially noteworthy in this
connection were the very complete exhibit of the Goldschmidt
Thermit Company of Essen-Ruhr, Germany, illustrating the processes
of chemical-welding and manufacture of steel-hardening alloys, and

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. iL

the Tonwerk Shippach exhibit of clays, metallurgy, and crucibles.
Much the greater bulk of material in geology and mineral technology,
however, came from the exhibits of at least 12 States and 84 private
exhibitors of the United States, by whose generosity the Museum
becomes possessed of a substantial nucleus for the building up of
its technical branch along important and useful lines. All of these
collections are important, and some were prepared at considerable
expense.

A few small purchases were also made at St. Louis. The principal
one, from the Ceylon Commission, consisted of an exceedingly
interesting collection, quite unique in its character and completeness,
illustrating the important pearl fishery of Ceylon, and also the
fisheries for the chank and béche de mer in the same waters. The
products of these industries are represented by many specimens,
including the shells and soft parts of the oyster with a few pearls,
and specimens of the associated corals and starfishes, together with
examples of all the appliances and boats employed, either of actual
‘size or as models; the sieves, scales, and weights for sorting and
valuing the pearls; the drill for heen an’ equipment for polishing
gems, etc. From the same commission there was also purchased a
small but very instructive collection illustrating chiefly the native
palm and bamboo industry of the island of Jaffna, off the northern
end of Ceylon.

Mention may here be made of a notable gift to the United States
by the Government of China, consisting of a large oil portrait of the
Empress Dowager of China executed by Miss Katherine A. Carl,
which had been exhibited in the art department of the St. bane
Exposition. The presentation, which took place at the White
House with appropriate ceremonies, was made to the President by
the Chinese minister resident in Washington. The painting, encased
in its heavy and elaborately carved frame of camphor wood, was
immediately transferred to the National Museum, where it is now
installed.

The number of accessions received by the Museum during the year,
including only such from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition as
could be placed on record before the close of the year, was 1,692,
comprising approximately 245,384 specimens. Making allowances
for the material used in exchanges and the preparation of educational
sets, it is estimated that the total number of specimens now in the
possession of the Museum is about 6,141,990, classified as follows:
Anthropology, 986,964; biology, 4,409,135; geology, 745,891.

The additions to the Department of Anthropology comprised
10,862 specimens, obtained in large part through the medium of
the St. Louis Exposition, as explained above, the countries mainly
represented from this source being Siam, the Philippine Islands,

18 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

Japan, New Zealand, Brazil, and Ceylon. Besides these the most
noteworthy acquisitions in ethnology consisted of collections pre-
sented by Dr. W. L. Abbott and Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, U.S. Army.
Both of these gentlemen, whose names have been so often mentioned
as benefactors, have a thorough appreciation of the true purpose of
scientific field-work, and whatever is received from them can be relied
upon to meet in all respects the requirements of research. Doctor
Abbott’s collection consisted of 755 objects from the islands off the
southeastern coast of Sumatra and from the Mergui Archipelago of
Lower Burma, selected as far as possible to represent complete
ethnographic series of each of the peoples visited. The collection of
Doctor Mearns comprised 134 objects from the Moros of Mindanao,
where he had been stationed as chief surgeon with the army under
Gen. Leonard Wood. Through the kind offices of Baron P. Paum-
gartten, chancellor of the Austro-Hungarian embassy in Washington,
exchanges were arranged with Baron Ludwig Ambrozy of Vienna,
from whom five complete peasant costumes of the Wallachians, of
South Hungary, were received during the year.

The more important American collections in ethnology were the
result of three Government investigations, one by the National
Museum and two by the Bureau of American Ethnology. During
his excavations in western Socorro County, New Mexico, in the
summer of 1904, Dr. Walter Hough, assistant curator of ethnology,
secured 863 specimens consisting of ancient sacrificial objects,-stone,
bone, and shell implements and carvings, pottery, basketry, bows,
arrows, etc., from pueblos, cliff houses, and caves of a region inhabited
by prehistoric people of Pueblo stocks. Dr. Ales Hrdlitka, assistant
curator of physical anthropology, while on an expedition to Southern
Arizona for the Bureau of American Ethnology, gathered several
hundred specimens in ethnobotany, basketry, stone implements,
pottery, etc., from among the San Carlos Apaches, the Mescalero
Apaches, and the Pimas. The second collection from the Bureau of
Ethnology, consisting of over 500 specimens, was the result of recent
investigations at the pueblo of Zuni by Mrs. Matilda Coxe Stevenson.
It is rich in ceremonial objects, such as fetishes and paraphernalia of
a character most difficult to obtain; ethnobotanical specimens,
pigments, ceramics, agricultural implements, etc. Also interesting
to note are a complete set of horse trappings of the South American
Gauchos and a number of Philippine objects from the President of
the United States; and an ancient basket shield and feather fur
garment, from the Canyon de Chelly, Arizona, transmitted by the
U.S. Department of the Interior.

The division of physical anthropology received a large amount of
material relating to the natural history of several races of man,
especially the American Indians, Negroes, Slavs, and Filipinos. For

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 19

comparative studies there is also being assembled in this division a
collection of the brains of animals, the principal accessions during
the past year having come from the National Zoological Park, Mr.
E. S. Schmidt, of Washington, and Dr. W. L. Abbott.

The most important additions in historic archeology consisted
of 21 Arabic manuscripts and prints, presented by Dr. E. A. Mearns,
U.S. Army, who obtained them among the Moros of Mindanao, and
23 coins and 18 pottery lamps and jars from the Orient, deposited by
Hadji Ephraim Benguiat. 3

The division of prehistoric archeology received two collections
from Japan in exchange. One comprised 160 specimens of flint and
obsidian arrow points, chipped and polished stone hatchets, and
fragments of pottery, which had been exhibited at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition by the College of Science of the Imperial Japa-
nese University; the other, 76 stone implements and ornaments, from
Mr. Y. Hirase. Other collections from abroad obtained by exchange
consisted of 39 stone implements from North Australia, New South
Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania, through Mr. E. S. Anthony, of
Hobart, Tasmania; 345 specimens of stone implements and frag-
ments of pottery, mainly from kitchen-middens and caves in Cape
Colony, through the Albany Museum, of Grahamstown, South Africa,
and an important series of stone hatchets from Thuringia, Germany,
and of bronze dress-ornaments, bracelets, finger-rings, and neck
chains from Etruscan graves at Belmonti, Italy, through Dr. Max
Verworn, of the University of Géttingen. Mr. H. W. Seton-Karr, of
Wimbledon, England, presented two polished stone implements from
Bundelkund, India.

The greater number of important accessions in prehistoric arche-
ology represented American countries. From the Bureau of Ameri-
can Ethnology there were transferred a cache of 152 rhyolite flaked
blades, found by Henry Rogers in 1893 in a crevice between two
large rocks in the Pigeon Hills, near Hanover, York County, Pennsyl-
vania; 20 large flint blades, part of a cache obtained from a mound
in Montezuma Village, Pike County, Illinois; a collection of flint
implements, hammer stones, flakeage, refuse of blade manufactures,
ete., obtained by Mr. Gerard Fowke in aboriginal quarries and work-
shops in Illinois, Tennessee, and. Missouri, and about 750 stone
implements and fragments of pottery, secured by Dr. AleS Hrdlitka
in the ancient ruins of the San Carlos River Valley, Graham County,
Arizona, on the grounds of the Rice Station Apache school, not
heretofore explored.

Of Mexican antiquities there were several accessions, including
227 pieces of pottery, objects representing three different culture areas,
constituting the Bauer collection; 13 casts of interesting stone
objects, from the American Museum of Natural History; an ancient

20 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

stone statue, from Dr. Carl Lumholtz; casts of three carved stone
yokes, from the National Museum of Mexico; five models of remark-
able specimens of Aztec art, from Dr. Antonio Pefiafiel; casts of
three sculptured panels from the ‘‘Temple of the Sun,” Tikal, and of
two lintels from the ‘‘Temple of Quetzalcoatl,” Lorillard City, both
in Yucatan, from Desiré Charnay, Paris. From the Royal Museum
of Ethnology of Berlin were obtained casts of carved stone yokes
and figures, ‘‘palmas,”’ carvings, images, etc., of Mexican and Peru-
vian origin.

A most interesting donation was a large collection of Inca and pre-
Inca pottery and textiles brought together some years ago by Mr.
Charles A. Pope, while residing in Peru, besides other ancient pottery
and a stone ax from Colombia. Mr. Felix F. Outes, of Buenos
Aires, presented 250 specimens of pottery and stone implements from
Indian cemeteries and camping places in several districts of Argen-
tina; while the Museo de la Plata forwarded, in exchange, a series of
casts of South American stone objects, some with animal and other
designs, elaborately worked out, forming striking examples of
aboriginal art.

‘Three of the working models of the Langley aerodrome, all of
which have made successful flights, were placed on exhibition in the
east hall, devoted to technology, being suspended from the frame-
work of the roof above the level of the tops of the cases. They have
naturally attracted much attention.

The additions to the collection of watches and watch movements,
both by gift and loan, have been many and interesting, acknowledg-
ments being due to Mr. Frederick Leach, of New York; Mr. John
Hansen and Mr. Carl A. Doubet, of Washington, and the Elgin
National Watch Company. <A sundial and gnomon cast in one
piece, and bearing the date 1760, has been lent by Mr.W. F. Fisk, of
Washington City.

To the War Department the Museum is greatly indebted for the
deposit of numerous pieces of ordnance, among them having been
two examples of the United States Army magazine rifle of the model of
1903, first issued to the Army in January, 1905; a Ferguson breech-
loading rifle, formerly belonging to Gen. John Watts de Peyster, a
type used by at least one of the British regiments in the War of the
Revolution; a gatling gun of the pattern used by the United States
Army about 1870; a number of projectiles, such as were employed
between 1860 and 1870, and a collection of antique and obsolete
cannon and mortars, military rifles, carbines, and revolvers, of many
makes, captured from the Spaniards and insurgents in the Philip-
pine Islands. Other firearms obtained through loan and gift were a
Chinese four-man gun, 8 feet 10 inches long, from Col. W. H. Carter,
U.S. Army; a rare double-barrel, 20-shot revolver, of Irish make,

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 21

from Mr. Ernst Moeckel, of Crookston, Minnesota; a pair of single-
barrel pistols of very fine workmanship, made by Crawley & Co.,
London, from Capt. J: T. Ord, U. S. Army; a pair of fine English
flintlock, silver-mounted pistols, captured during the War of the
Revolution, from Dr. C. W. Hickman, of Augusta, Georgia, and a
vest pocket pistol, from Mr. Paul Beckwith, of the National Museum.

The General Electric Company, of Harrison, New Jersey, donated
a number of typical incandescent lamps, showing their development
during the past ten years.

There have been several important additions to the collection
illustrating telegraphic invention and development, through the
courtesy of the Delaware and Hudson Company; the Western
Union Telegraph Company; Mr. A. E. Roome, superintendent. of
telegraphs of the Southern Pacific Railroad; the U. S. Weather
Bureau; Col. William A. Glassford, U. S. Army; Mr. Edward L.
Morse, of Washington, District of Columbia, and Mrs. Columbia N.
Payne, daughter of Capt. O. W. Berryman, U.S. Navy, who made
the surveys between Newfoundland and Ireland for the first trans-
Atlantic cable.

The division of graphic arts is chiefly indebted for its additions to
the contributions of foreign exhibitors at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, which are numerous and of great interest, but there has
been no time as yet to classify and arrange them. The photographic
section obtained two pictures taken by Daguerre.

Among the noteworthy accessions in ceramics were a very beauti-
ful and typical collection of glassware, prepared especially for the
Museum by Mr. Julian de Cordova, president of the Union Glass
Works at Somerville, Massachusetts; a large green vase of Teco
ware, of tasteful design and coloring, presented by the Gates Pot-
tery Company, of Chicago; several specimens of the pottery made
by the Van Briggle Pottery Company, of Colorado Springs; a collec-
tion of typical Japanese and Chinese porcelains and pottery and of
Japanese lacquer work, lent by Mr. Harold I. Sewall, of Washington.

There were 13 accessions in the division of medicine, and the collec-
tion of musical instruments was increased by 15 accessions.

Of the 6 accessions in the division of historic religions, 1, con-
sisting of 165 objects of Jewish ceremonial, deposited by Hadji
Ephraim Benguiat, is especially noteworthy, both intrinsically and
artistically. With the collections previously lent by the same well-
known collector, the exhibit of Jewish ceremonial in the National
Museum is now unrivaled in completeness and artistic merit.

The number of accessions to the collection of history amounted to
89, comprising 768 objects, mostly loans, many being of great value
and interest. Among those especially worthy of mention are per-
sonal military relics of the late Maj. Gen. Judson Kilpatrick, U. S.

22 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

Army, from his widow and daughters; the uniform and articles of
equipment of the late Alexander Macomb Mason (Bey), who, after
serving in the navies of the Confederate States and Chile and the
navy and army of Egypt, held high civil positions under the Khe-
dive, from Mrs. M. B. Wheaton, of Washington; the silver-mounted
sword of Gen. Simon Bolivar, of Venezuela, given to him in 1828,
and a sword of Gen. José Antonio Paez, presented to him by King
William IV of England, from Mr. José Antonio Paez, of Staten
Island; the fatigue uniform coat and cap worn by Capt. Charles VY.
Gridley, U. S. Navy, at the battle of Manila, from Mrs. Gridley;
many examples of the wearing apparel of the Colonial period in
Maryland, from Miss Bayard Smith, of Baltimore; and a collection
of early wearing apparel, arms, coins, and other objects, from Gen.
John Watts De Peyster, of New York.

The Department of Biology as a whole received about 217,000
specimens, the principal increases as regards number of specimens
being in the divisions of plants, insects, and mollusks, though in
other divisions the additions were no less important.

The division of mammals received two collections from Dr. W. L.
Abbott, the results of his own field work, the first consisting of 471
specimens, coming from the west coast of the Malay Peninsula and
adjacent islands and the Mergui Archipelago, the second of 517
specimens from Banka, Billiton, and the Karimata Islands. They
contain many species new to science. Next may be mentioned a
collection presented by Dr. E. A. Mearns, U. S. Army, the product
of his explorations in the Philippine Islands, chiefly on Mount Apo,
in southern Mindanao, which is sufficiently elevated to support a
fauna largely distinct from that of the remainder of the island, as
may be inferred from the fact that a study of the material disclosed
6 new genera and 25 new species, which have been described by
Doctor Mearns in the Proceedings of the Museum. Other note-
worthy additions comprised specimens from Switzerland, France,
and northern Italy, collected by Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, jr., and Dr.
Leonhard Stejneger, of the Museum staff; from Sao Paulo, Brazil,
through Mr. A. Hempel; from Japan, through exchange with Mr. T.
Tsuchida; from the Kamerun district of west Africa, through Mr.
G. L. Bates, and from Bewean Island, Java Sea, through Mr. C. G.
Veth, American consular agent; a specimen of Potamogale velox, a
rare African insectivore, through Dr. Paul Matschie, of the Royal
Zoological Museum, Berlin; specimens from the Dismal Swamp, Vir-
ginia, and the Adirondack region of New York, collected by Dr. W. L.
Ralph. Many important species have also been obtained from the
National Zoological Park.

The additions in the division of birds comprised much of impor-

lections from especially interesting regions. Most prominent was a
series of 615 Philippine birds presented by Dr. E. A. Mearns, U. S.
Army, and obtained by him on the islands of Mindanao, Dinagat,
Basilan, Cagayan Sulu, and Sulu, the most noteworthy specimens
coming fon Mount ook The Balle on as a whole contains prob-
ably three new genera, about 19 new species and subspecies, a num-
ber of topotypes, and several other forms not previously represented
in the Museum. Doctor Mearns also brought 3 fine specimens of
the Nicobar pigeon as a gift from Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, U. S.
Army, which the latter collected on an islet near Mindanao and
prepared himself. The W. L. Abbott collections contained 316 speci-
mens of birds obtained in the Mergui Archipelago and on the islands
of Banka, Billiton, and Karimata, between Sumatra and Borneo,
which add several rare species to the Museum series.

The Philippine Museum at Manila sent in exchange over 150 well-
prepared skins, including topotypes of some recently discovered
species. A specimen of the very rare Philippine monkey-eating
eagle was presented by Mr. Fletcher L. Keller, and 2 specimens of
the equally rare Celebes giant swift were given by Dr. Daniel G. Beebe.
Mr. George A. Goss and Mr. H. D. Dodge, of Waterbury, Connecticut,
donated a small collection from Mount Kinabalu, British North
Borneo, consisting mainly of topotypes of species described within
the last ten years and also containing one new species. Another
small but choice collection obtained in the interior of China during a
geological reconnoissance by Mr. Bailey Willis and Mr. Eliot Black-
welder, under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution, was contrib-
uted to the Museum.

A very important series of over 750 Costa Rican birds, contributed
by the National Museum of that country, furnishes the curator, Mr.
Robert Ridgway, with much desired material for his work on the
Birds of North and Middle America. Mention should also be made
of a collection of birds from Jamaica, obtained by Mr. W. R. Maxon,
of the Museum staff, and one from South Carolina and New Hamp-
shire, presented by Mr. Nathan Clifford Brown, of Portland, Maine.
Mr. Homer Davenport, of Morris Plains, New Jersey, has generously
continued to send specimens of rare pheasants, geese, ete. Among
the specimens turned over by the National Zoological Park a Calh-
fornia condor and a cassowary are especially noteworthy.

The additions to the section of birds’ eggs, comprising 129 nests
and 665 eggs, contained some interesting material, the most valuable
coming an Mexico. The principal contributors were Dr. W. L.
Ralph, Dr. E. A. Mearns, U.S. Army, Dr. J. C. Call, and the members
of the Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture.

The more important accessions in the division of reptiles were a
collection of 561 specimens from Japan, Formosa, and adjacent

islands, containing several undescribed species and a large number
new to the Museum, obtained through Mr. Alan Owston, of Yoko-
hama; 584 specimens from the Philippine Islands, including 4 new
species, presented by Dr. E. A. Mearns, U.S. Army; 33 specimens
from the Malay Peninsula and adjacent islands, the gift of Dr. W. L.
Abbott; specimens from China, collected by Mr. E. Blackwelder, and
donated by the Carnegie Institution; from France and Switzerland,
collected by Dr. Leonhard Stejneger and Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, jr.;
from Jamaica, collected by Mr. W. R. Maxon; from Guatemala,
collected by Mr. Maxon and Mr. Robert Hay; from California and
Indiana, transferred by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries; from Mani-
toba, presented by Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton; and from Louisiana,
collected by Mr. Andrew Allison.

The division of fishes received by transfer from the U.S. Bureau of
Fisheries a large amount of material of exceptional value, as follows:
A collection from Samoan waters, made in 1902 by Dr. D. 8S. Jordan
and Prof. V. L. Kellogg, of Leland Stanford Junior University, and
containing the types of 100 new species; an extensive series of
specimens from the explorations of the steamer Albatross in Hawaiian
waters in 1901—2, including many deep-sea forms and the types and
cotypes described; a great number of fishes resulting from investiga-
tions on the Pacific coast of North America from Bering Sea to
California, and on the Atlantic coast from Nova Scotia to Florida.
Type specimens from other localities were also received from the
Bureau of Fisheries and from Prof. C. H. Gilbert, of Leland Stanford
Junior University.

The Bureau of Fisheries was the largest single contributor to the
division of mollusks, having transferred to the Museum, from the
dredgings of the steamer Albatross on the coast of California in the
spring of 1904, about 5,000 specimens, many of which are of special
interest and value. Next may be mentioned an accession from the
Biological Survey of the Department of Agriculture, consisting
mainly of land and fresh-water shells from Texas, California, and
Montana. Scientifically, the most important addition of the year
was a series of about 1,500 specimens of Philippine shells from the
collection of the late Herr Mollendorff, obtained by purchase, many
of the species being cotypes. This acquisition will prove extremely
useful in the future working up of material from the Philippine
Islands, especially in view of the fact that many of Mollendorff’s
species were never figured and can, with difficulty, be identified from
his descriptions. Among other noteworthy additions were about
400 marine mollusks collected in Alaska by Dr. T. W. Stanton, of the
U.S. Geological Survey; about the same number of mollusks and
brachiopods obtained in the same region many years ago by Dr. W. H.
Dall, and comprising numerous types of species described in the Pro-

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 25

ceedings of the California Academy of Sciences; a small but interest-
ing collection made in Central America by Dr. Edward Palmer, of
the Department of Agriculture, containing a remarkable new genus,
Hendersonia, and a number of new species; many nudibranchs from
the coast of California, including 15 types of species recently described
by the donor, Dr. M. F. McFarland, of Leland Stanford Junior
University, in the Proceedings of the Biological Society of Wash-
ington; some 300 specimens of shells from the Philippine Islands,
presented by Brig. Gen. A. W. Greely, U.S. Army. From Mr. Henry
Suter, of Auckland, New Zealand, there was received a pair of Trigonia
margaritacea, in alcohol, containing the soft parts well preserved;
from Mr. W. Moss, of Ashton-under-Lyne, England, an interesting
lot of small but attractive shells from the Loyalty and Lifu islands
of the Indo-Pacific; and from Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Oldroyd and Mr.
C. H. Hansen, a quantity of material from the coast of California.

While no single large collection was received during the year, yet
the additions to the division of insects were as a whole of average
importance, comprising between 34,000 and 35,000 specimens from
many parts of the world. It would be impossible in this connection
to adequately note the principal accessions, but among the more
important gifts and exchanges may be mentioned: Hymenoptera,
from Maj. C. G. Nurse, of Quetta, India, and the Museo de Ciencias
Naturales, Madrid, Spain; Cuban parasitic Hymenoptera, from
Dr. George Dimmock, of Springtield, Massachusetts; Cuban beetles,
from E. A. Schwarz, of the Bureau of Entomology of the Department
of Agriculture; types and cotypes of New Zealand Cicadide, from
Dr. F. W. Goding, American consul at Newcastle, New South Wales,
Australia; a collection of Chinese beetles, from Mr. Eliot Black-
welder; types of Lepidoptera, from Mr. W. D. Kearfott, of New Jersey;
types and cotypes of bees, from Mr. J.C. Crawford, of the Bureau of
Entomology; types and cotypes of Rhipiphoride, from Mr. W. D.
Pierce, of the Bureau of Entomology; Orthoptera, from Mr. F. B.
Isely, of Wichita, Kansas; and miscellaneous collections from Rev.
Robert E. Brown, 8. J., Manila; Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, Boulder,
Colorado; and Mr. A. N. Caudell, of the Bureau of Entomology.

The division of marine invertebrates received, through transfers
from the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, 300 lots of foraminifera from the
region about the Hawaiian Islands, the basis of a report to the Bureau
by Mr. Rufus M. Bagg, jr.; a duplicate set of the sea urchins obtained
on the cruise of the steamer Albatross to the Panamic region in 1891,
and described by Dr. Alexander Agassiz in the Memoirs of the Museum
of Comparative Zoology; a large collection of crustaceans from the
Albatross cruise of 1904 off the southern coast of California, which
have been distributed to specialists for study, as noted under the head
of ‘‘ Researches,” and the samples of ocean bottom taken on the same

26 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

cruise. Some of the principal smaller accessions were as follows:
From the Museum of Natural History, Paris, France, 7 cotypes of
species of crabs, chiefly of the family Potamonide described by Miss
M. J. Rathbun, and cotypes of Cambarus digueti Bouvier, from Guana-
juato, Mexico; from the Zoological Museum at Copenhagen, Den-
mark, 4 species of Sphzromide, a cotype of Uca oerstedi Rathbun,
and a series of specimens, showing the different stages of growth of
Sergestes atlanticus Milne Edwards; from the Museum of Compara-
tive Zoology of Harvard University, 4 species of isopods new to the
collections, 2 being cotypes of species described by Dr. Harriet Rich-
ardson; from Prof. A. E. Verrill, of Yale University, fragments of the
type specimens of 5 species of corals described by him; from the
University of Pennsylvania, types of Tanais robustus H. F. Moore;
from the Carnegie Museum, cotypes of Cambarus monongalensis
Ortmann; from Prof. James H. Stoller, of Union College, 2 species of
isopods new to the collection; from Dr. E. A. Mearns, U.S. Army,
specimens from the Philippine Islands; from Dr. W. lL. Abbott,
specimens from the Malay Peninsula; from the U. S. Biological
Survey, crustaceans from Mexico and Texas.

To the helminthological collection were added 857 specimens, the
most important accession consisting of a series of parasites from
Egypt, sent by Prof. Arthur Looss, of the Medical School at Cairo.

The past year has been especially noteworthy as regards the in-
crease of the collection in the division of plants, the additions having
been very much greater than in any previous year in the history of
the Museum, embracing 750 accessions and 143,690 specimens. The
ereater part of this increase was due to the acquisition of the very
valuable herbarium of Capt. John Donnell Smith, of Baltimore, which
alone contained 100,889 specimens from different regions, but chiefly
from tropical America. This large and important collection, the
work of many years in assembling, was most generously donated to
the Smithsonian Institution by Captain Smith and now forms a part
of the national collections. In connection with the plants, Captain
Smith also presented his botanical library of about 1,600 volumes, as
noted elsewhere. The next important contribution was by transfer
from the U. S. Department of Agriculture of 13,965 specimens,
8,963 of these constituting the herbarium of the Bureau of Forestry.
These specimens came from many parts of the United States including
Alaska, and from Greenland, Canada,-Mexico, Guatemala, Europe,
and India. The U.S. Bureau of Fisheries transmitted several hun-
dred plants obtained in Alaska, Indiana, and Tennessee. The other
accessions contained representatives of the flora of many different
countries, more especially of the United States, but their number and
variety preclude an adequate account of them in this connection.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 27

Some of the larger collections were from the Philippines and from
Jamaica and other West Indian Islands, Mexico, Chile, and British
Columbia. The principal gifts, in point of number of specimens,
came from Dr. Edward L. Greene, Mr. William E. Safford, Mr. F. V.
Coville, Mr. M. B. Waite, Mr. E. S. Steele, Mrs. L. H. Earll, Mrs.
Laura O. Talbot and Mr. F. J. Tyler, all of Washington, D. C., and
Dr. E. A. Mearns, U.S. Army.

The additions to the Department of Geology numbered 16,984
specimens, of which 16,231 were paleontological. The division of
systematic and applied geology acquired by gift through the Loui-
siana Purchase Exposition an important series of ores of nonmetallic
minerals from Brazil, a large collection of tin, copper, and gold ores
from Siam, a fine series of crude and refined graphite from Ceylon,
a large pedestal of Thessalian marble from the Verde Antico Marble
Company of London, and a quantity of economic products from the
State commissions of Colorado, Kentucky, Alabama, and New Mexico.
A collection of rocks and ores from New Zealand was obtained in
exchange from the Waihi School of Mines at Auckland. Mention may
also be made of five large masses of zinc ores from Arkansas, five large
slabs of onyx marbie from Arizona and Wyoming, a large block of
serpentine with veins of asbestos from Canada, a nugget of native
copper with native silver from upper Michigan, a fine specimen of
Alaskan tin ore, large masses of selenite and gypsum from Oklahoma,
and of bauxite from Arkansas, a block of diatomaceous earth measur-
ing 40 cubic feet from California, a large quantity of coquina from
Florida, rocks of the Silverton quadrangle, Colorado, through the
U.S. Geological Survey, and a nearly complete cone of a hot spring
from southern Wyoming.

To the division of mineralogy, Dr. W.S. Disbrow, of Newark, New
Jersey, contributed a fine series of zeolites from New Jersey, as did
also Dr. W. F. Hillebrand, of the U. S. Geological Survey. Other .
interesting additions of minerals consisted of specimens of pyrite with
dodecahedral faces, and one of datolite from Westfield, Massachusetts;
examples of the recently discovered thorianite; a fine beryl of
unusual form and color from Utah, an exceptionally large nodule of
josephinite, molybdenite from Cooper, Maine, and tourmalines from
southern California. One meteorite of iron from Rodeo, Mexico, was
received, and the following cut gems purchased for the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition have been added to the Museum exhibition
series: Australian matrix opals, California tourmalines, beryls from
Connecticut, a fine specimen of peridotite from Arizona and a deep
colored amethyst from North Carolina.

The collections of fossil invertebrates in the division of strati-
graphic paleontology were mainly increased through transfers from

the U. S. Geological Survey, which consisted principally of large col-
lections of Niagaran fossils from Tennessee, of Ordovician fossils from
the slates at Arvonia, Virginia, and of Devonian and Carboniferous
fossils from Colorado, the last collection having served as the basis
of Dr. George H. Girty’s work on the Carboniferous formations and
faunas of that State. A very valuable acquisition was the gift by
Mr. E. O. Ulrich and Dr. R. 8S. Bassler of the type and figured speci-
mens of 65 species, 25 being of Paleozoic origin and 40 Tertiary
ostracoda. Among other important additions were 400 specimens
of Cretaceous bryozoans from Denmark; about 70 species of corals
from Germany; a series of European Tertiary fossils; Cretaceous and
Tertiary fossils from South Carolina; Ordovician fossils from Ken-
tucky, and the reverse side of the types of 8 species of fossil nsects
from Mazon Creek, Illinois.

The section of vertebrate paleontology received two large collec-
tions from the U. S. Geological Survey, one made in the Wasatch
Eocene of the Big Horn Basin, Wyoming, by Mr. C. A. Fisher,
and containing remains of Coryphodon, Phenacodus, Eohippus,
Crocodilus, and Oxyxna; the other from the Oligocene of Oelrichs,
South Dakota, and including remains of Merycoidodon, Hyracodon,
Daphznus, a Cameloid, Cenopus, Titanothervum, etc. Mr. A. G. Mad-
dren, who visited Alaska on behalf of the Smithsonian Institution
during the summer of 1904, brought back from the Yukon basin a
collection of Pleistocene fossils, comprising the bones and teeth of
Elephas primogeneus and of two extinct species of both the bison and
the horse. Among other noteworthy material received were remains
of Triceratops from Elephant Butte, New Mexico, and from the
collection at Yale University; and fossil fishes from Pennsylvania,
Wyoming, and Brazil.

In the section of paleobotany the most important additions were
about 400 specimens from the States of Sao Paulo and Santa Cath-
arina, Brazil, collected by Mr. I. C. White during an official explora-
tion of the Brazilian coal fields, and presented by him to the National
Museum; about the same number of specimens from the higher beds
of the anthracite series in the vicinity of Pottsville, Pennsylvania,
from Mr. C. W. Unger, of Pottsville; 70 specimens, including 9 new.
species obtained from the Upper Eocene at Kukak Bay, Alaska, by
the EK. W. Harriman expedition of 1889.

GENERAL WORK UPON THE COLLECTIONS.

It is difficult to differentiate between the several classes of work
upon the collections since they gradate one into the other. The
subjects of classification or research and the installation, of the
exhibition series are treated of under their respective headings.
This chapter relates to the general care of the collections, the prepa-
ration and preservation of specimens, their arrangement in reference
or study series and in safe storage, their labeling, recording and
cataloguing, the sorting out and packing of duplicates, all of which
involve an endless amount of patient labor.

Of the reserve collections in the two main buildings it may be said
that, in a general way, they are in as fair and safe condition as the
circumstances permit. In large part they are moderately easy of
access, but the quarters in which they are stored are mostly crude,
antiquated and dark, very inconvenient and very greatly over-
crowded. It is, however, to be remembered that for a very large
proportion of the national collections there is no room in the main
buildings, and they have to be packed away in several insecure
rented structures, which are already filled to the roof timbers and so
compactly that no particular object could be found or removed.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 31

Each lot of specimens as received is accessioned, and its contents are
distributed to the several divisions to which they belong and in
which they are subsequently cared for. They are cleaned and
poisoned, if need be, and are catalogued chronologically under suc-
cessive numbers, by which, eombined with appropriate labels, they
may always be iHentinea nd their history ascertained. After they
have been studied and classified they are entered on catalogue cards,
arranged in systematic order so as to constitute a descriptive list of
the objects in each class, the basis of future research. This work
progresses steadily in all the divisions, and naturally consumes a
great deal of time.

The above illustrates the processes with new collections, and
their incorporation in the several series to which they belong. But
there is another branch of work, equally necessary and fully as
arduous, the maintenance of the collections, now grown to proportions
far beyond the facilities for their accommodation. All of the several
millions of specimens except those in general storage, are expected
to be examined at least once a year to insure their continued safety.
Alcohol is added to the jars and vials to replace that lost by evapora-
tion, dried specimens are cleaned of insect pests, which are ever
present, and a general house-cleaning takes place to remove the dust,
dirt, and dampness which everywhere accumulate. This relates to
practically all of the divisions, though with some kinds of collections
the difficulty is much greater than with others. Following are some
of the principal items of work under this heading:

Probably in no former year have the reserve collections in the
Department of Anthropology been so thoroughly overhauled and
renovated. The collectians in the extensive series of drawers in
Eskimo hall have been entirely rearranged in systematic order, and
a finding catalogue of their contents has been prepared. A large
number of cupboards and frames with drawers have been installed
above the wall exhibition cases in the Pueblo court for the storage of
ethnological objects; the storage accommodations in the graphic
arts court have been extended for the keeping of the Philippine
collection, and the storage cases on the west balcony, with their
contents, have been greatly improved.

In the recently established division of physical anthropology there
has been great activity, owing to the many accessions, and the
necessity of overhauling the ae collection, which had not for some
years been given supervision. The eel belonging to this divi-
sion is of such a character as to require much attention, in the clean-
ing of skeletons and crania, and the liquid preparation of the soft
parts of the body. The quarters assigned for laboratory and storage
purposes are altogether too small, and only by close crowding can
the material already on hand be accommodated in the cases.

32 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

A gallery has been built and partly fitted up in the west-north
range for the storage of historical material, and the extensive collec-
tion of portraits is now in process of arrangement and classification.
The study series in graphic arts has been transferred to unit drawers
and is also being rearranged and catalogued.

In the division of mammals 15 quarter unit cases were added for
the storage of small skins, but a larger number will soon be required
to. properly arrange this class of objects, and also the larger skins,
many of which are now kept in ordinary boxes. The collection of
mammal skulls comprises many thousands of specimens, for which
the accommodations have been very crude and inadequate. The
rearrangement of the large skulls, mentioned in last year’s report,
and of a-majority of the small ones, has been completed. New
cases have been provided for skulls of medium size, and before the
close of another year all of the material of this character now on
hand should be in excellent order for reference.

The work of cleaning skulls, which requires much dexterity and
patience, has been done mainly by contract instead of the employ-
ment of a preparator for the purpose. The new method has proved
much more economical and will be continued. The number cleaned
was 9,595 as compared with 6,760 during the previous year. The
entire collection of skulls was numbered and labeled.

Sixty-eight large and medium mammal skins for the reserve series
were tanned by contract. The taxidermist attached to the division
made over about 60 small skins, which had been deteriorating,
besides skinning 57 fresh mammals, making up a large number of
flat skins, and cleaning and repairing 78 mounted heads belonging to
the exhibition series. After extended experimentation a large tank
was successfully constructed for extracting grease from skeletons by
the use of naphtha and steam. It has been installed in the Zoological
Park, in a place not resorted to by visitors.

All the bird skins received during the year were catalogued, labeled,
and distributed to their proper places in the study series, and the
rearrangement of the birds of prey was nearly completed. The
quarters occupied by this division for laboratory and storage are
now especially overcrowded. The very extensive series of birds’ eggs
has been kept in excellent condition.

The collection of reptiles and batrachians has for some time been
undergoing a systematic rearrangement in order to make the speci-
mens more accessible, and the entire study series is in a good state
of preservation.

In the division of fishes the majority of the large accessions was
catalogued and much material labeled and installed. Four large
zinc-lined tanks, of a special pattern, were constructed for the larger
fishes, and to these were transferred the contents of seven barrels,

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 33
besides many specimens from the smaller tanks. Twenty-five sets of
duplicates, each comprising 60 specimens, were put up for distribu-
tion to educational establishments. A card catalogue of the contents
of the many tanks of fishes is in course of preparation.

The many accessions in mollusks required much attention from the
assistants in this division in sorting, labeling, and cataloguing the
specimens. About 9,000 entries were made. A part of the land-shell
collection was rearranged in accordance with modern classification.

In the division of insects much progress was made in the arrange-
ment of all the orders, except the Rhynchota and a few minor orders.

A special cataloguer was employed in the division of marine inverte-
brates for preparing the systematic card catalogue of crustaceans
recently identified, the Hawaiian corals from the explorations of tho
Bureau of Fisheries, the sea urchins from the cruise of 1891 of the
Fisheries steamer Albatross, identified by Dr. Alexander Agassiz, and
a large part of the sertularian hydroids, identified by Prof. C. C. Nut-
ting. Anumber of improvements were made in the laboratory equip-
ment. The rack system of installing specimens was adopted for the
entire study series of the helminthological collections. This system
has been shown by experience to make the specimens readily accessi-
ble and to permit the employment of unskilled persons in putting
specimens in place. Seven hundred bottle racks were purchased for
this purpose, and a number of Marlatt slide cases were also obtained
for the microscopic mountings.

In the division of plants 50 standard herbarium cases, 12 half-unit
cases, and 15 special cases were added during the year. The entire
set of cases now comprises 10,043 compartments or pigeonholes for the
storage of mounted plants. With the exception of a portion of the
lower cryptogams, the entire herbarium is now in insect-proof cases,
and little trouble has been experienced during the year from plant
pests. Herbarium sheets to the number of 28,088 were stamped and
incorporated in the regular series, making the total number so treated

since 1894, 274,475. Prior to their incorporation all plants are regis-
tered in the regular chronological catalogue books, of which there are
now 72, 39 being filled and 33 still open. ‘The specimens currently
received are still entered geographically, all Mexican plants being in a
separate volume, all Alaskan in another, etc. This was impracticable
for the older, unentered parts of the herbarium, which are grouped by
families. The number of plants mounted, partly by contract, partly
by preparators, was 22,327. During the year the rearrangement of
the herbarium in accordance with the system of Engler and Prantl
progressed from family 246, Gentianacex, to family 266, Acanthace.

The reserve collections in all the divisions of the Department of
Geology are in fair condition, though the systematic card catalogues
are still incomplete. In the division of geology proper the collection

34 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

has grown so large that there is no longer storage space for it except in
gross, in packing boxes, in unsafe buildings. In this division during
the year over 3,550 specimens have been trimmed, labeled, and
wrapped for the educational series of duplicates.

In the division of stratigraphic paleontology the collections have
heretofore been divided into an exhibition and a study or strati-
graphic series. The stratigraphic series, in which the faunas of par-
ticular horizons and regions are kept together, is naturally incom-
plete, but growing rapidly. With the purchase of the Ulrich and
Rominger collections it was decided to inaugurate a new series with
these two collections as a basis, one in which the various groups of
invertebrate fossils were arranged biologically. Up to the time of his
resignation, September 1, Mr. Charles Schuchert, assistant curator of
the division, was mainly occupied in the preparation of school collec-
tions and in duties connected with the Louisiana Purchase Exposi-
tion. For the school collections over 60,000 specimens were used,
and made up into 500 sets, some of which have already been sent out.

Mr. R.S. Bassler succeeded Mr. Schuchert, and during four months
was occupied with the preparation, editing, and proof reading of the
Bulletin on the type specimens in the collection. This also required
te labeling and placing in final museum condition of the types of over
1,000 species of invertebrate fossils, represented by over 5,000 speci-
mens. Besides putting into final shape the various accessions of the
year, all of the pelecypods and a considerable portion of the gastro-
pods and brachipods of the biologic series have been registered,
labeled, and numbered. They occupy 45 standard drawers and com-
prise 2,294 species, represented by 16,710 specimens. The number of
cards added to the systematic catalogue was 1,500. Thirty-four
boxes of unstudied material were removed from storage and their
contents classified and properly arranged.

In the section of vertebrate paleontology a very satisfactory advance
has been made in the appointment of two preparators and one assist-
ant preparator, whose work has resulted in the completion of the
mount of the skeleton of Triceratops, the first one ever prepared, and
one of the most conspicuous additions to the exhibition series. A
large amount of material stored in boxes has been overhauled and the
collection partly systematized.

The principal work in paleobotany has consisted in cleaning, assort-
ing, and systematizing the collection, and in preparing card and type
catalogues.

THE EXHIBITION COLLECTIONS.

A part of the Polynesian collection of ethnology, obtained mainly
during early expeditions, which has been on exhibition in the north
gallery of the west hall, was removed to one of the laboratories for
study and fuller iden‘ification, and in its place was installed a large

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECKETARY. 35

representation from the Malaysian ethnological collection of Dr. W. L.
Abbott, and the Philippine collection of Dr. E. A. Mearns, U.S. Army.
The collection of basketry was rearranged, and eight recently pre-
pared busts of Indians and some exceptionally fine examples of the
work of the Northwest coast Indians have been placed on exhibition.
The latter consist of two large totem posts, four large carved wooden
slabs, and a large painted room partition from Alaska. The exhibits
returned from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition were, as far as pos-
sible, assigned places in the public halls, though it was necessary to
put most of this material in storage.

To the exhibition of historic archeology, which chiefly occupies the
eastern end of the west hall, were added a collection of Biblical gems,
coins of Bible lands, the oriental manuscripts of Mr. S. S. Howland,
a Greco-Egyptian portrait of great interest, and several papyri. In
consequence of the addition of many articles of Jewish religious cere-
monial, through the valuable deposit made by Mr. Benguiat, the
entire section included under this subject was rearranged, as was also
the adjoining Mohammedan section. Additions involving changes
in arrangement were also made to the Greco-Roman and Buddhist
sections, and the display of amulets was reinstalled.

Following the extensive repairs recently made in archeological hall
the entire exhibition collection of prehistoric archeology is being sub-
jected to a thorough overhauling, which is not yet completed, and the
hall is therefore still closed to the public. It is proposed to make
this exhibit as attractive as it is valuable and interesting, though it
must for a time remain chiefly in the old-fashioned cases constructed
over thirty years ago. The many stone mortars and soapstone ves-
sels from California and the stone chairs from Ecuador have been
arranged on the tops of the wall cases. Recent accessions from Mex-
ico and Central America have replaced the collections from the
ancient ruined pueblos of Arizona and New Mexico, which have been
removed to the Museum building. Of six new cases installed in the
center of the hall, four are devoted to casts of large stone sculptures
from Mexico and the other two to material from Brazil and the West
Indies.

Lack of space has made it impossible to develop an exhibition series
in physical anthropology, but there are now ready for this purpose
10 complete Indian busts, over 20 masks from which busts can be
prepared, and photographs and skeletal material for representing all
anthropological varieties.

The exhibits in technology have been greatly: enlarged and im-
proved, requiring the addition of a number of cases. The most note-
worthy increases and changes have been in the sections of electrical
apparatus, firearms, and railroad appliances. The historical collec-
tion of railroad locomotive models was entirely rearranged. No

36 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

changes were made in the hall devoted to the graphic arts, but in the
gallery of ceramics the collection of purely artistic ware in porcelain,
glass, lacquer, and metal work was arranged by countries in a series
of separate cases along the west side and the inner edge of the gallery.

The historical collection which occupies the north hall has been
maintained in good condition, the principal addition being a case
assigned to the National Society of the Dames of 1846 for the
exhibition mainly of relics of the war with Mexico.

The most conspicuous additions to the exhibition collections in the
Department of Biology resulted from the Louisiana Purchase Exposi-
tion. This was especially the case in regard to the mammals, of
which specimens of several large and interesting species hitherto either
unrepresented or only poorly so in the Museum halls, were prepared
for St. Louis in accordance with the latest advances in taxidermy and
the preparator’s art. Their transfer to Washington unfortunately
found the mammal hall so overcrowded that many could be given
only a temporary position, and for the most part without cases. The
new additions consist of a polar bear, black bear, giraffe, hippopota-
mus, zebra, gnu, musk ox, Sandbur stag, Olympie elk, and the cast
of a sulphur-bottom whale. The great amount of labor entailed in
securing and preparing the last mentioned object has been referred
to in a previous report, and it may be stated that the result has much
more than justified the effort. The whale, about 80 feet long, was
grounded at a whaling station on the coast of Newfoundland, where
a sectional mold was made of the exterior of the body and the entire
skeleton removed. The cast, appropriately colored, is now suspended
from steel trusses connected with the framework of the roof in the
mammal hall. The skeleton was at the close of the year being
installed in the adjoining hall of osteology.

Besides the above, 35 mammals, mounted by the taxidermists of
the Museum, were added to the exhibition collection. They con-
sisted, besides a tiger, chiefly of rodents and other small forms from
the African, Oriental, and Palearctic regions, including such impor-
tant species as the large aquatic African insectivore, Potamogale, the
Tasmanian marsupial wolf, Thylacinus, the jerboa, dormouse, mar-
mot, Philippine Island rats, paradoxure, ermine, Java porcupine, etc.
The South American forms comprised a paca, capabara, and aguto.
All of these specimens were mounted separately, but chiefly with
some indication of natural environment. The collection of heads of
East African antelopes, on deposit from the Hon. William Astor Chan-
ler, and other smaller heads placed with them, were thoroughly
cleaned and repoisoned, and the panel to which they are attached
was extended the entire length of the east gallery. The contents of
the large east wall case were partly rearranged, and many temporary
bases on which the specimens were mounted were replaced by perma-
nent ones.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 37

The birds exhibited at St. Louis, mostly taken from the regular
Museum series, were returned to their proper places, and the collec-
tion of game birds, which now includes 10 groups, was reinstalled.
Many specimens of valuable species which had been mounted long ago
were also made over with very satisfactory results.

In the range devoted to reptiles and fishes a few interesting addi-
tions were made from the Museum exhibit prepared for St. Louis.
They consist of casts of snakes, among the larger forms repre-
sented being the python, rattlesnake, and boa, in special cases, and
a fine set of models of deep-sea fishes.

The American faunal exhibit of insects was nearly completed
during the year, but the series of Lepidoptera shown at St. Louis
and intended to be placed in the insect hall has been withheld from
exhibition pending experiments looking to some provision for
protecting their colors. The synoptic series of marine invertebrates,
enlarged and improved for use at St. Louis, has been returned to its
place in the west hall of the Smithsonian building.

In the biological exhibit as a whole many new and revised labels,
both for the specimens and the cases, were prepared and installed.

In the hall devoted to systematic and applied geology a number of
large pieces of interesting rocks and ores, obtained at the St. Louis
Exposition, were added to the exhibition collection. The wall cases
in the mineral hall were repainted and their contents, including the
specimens of meteorites, were rearranged. The larger meteorites
were also supplied with new descriptive labels. Lack of space pre-
vents any material increase in the exhibit of invertebrate fossils, but
the hall of vertebrate paleontology has received a most noteworthy
addition in a complete skeleton of Triceratops prorsus, one of the
large Dinosaurian reptiles of the Cretaceous period of the Western
States. This is the first preparation of this form yet made, and con-
sists chiefly of the actual bones of the most complete specimen in the
collection, supplemented by pieces from other specimens and by
restorations in plaster. The skeleton measures 19 feet 8 inches in
extreme length by 8 feet 2 inches high, and is mounted on a base of
artificial matrix designed to represent the color and texture of the
Laramie sandstone in which the remaims of this animal are found.
This unique and stiiking object is certain to attract very widespread
attention.

RESEARCHES.

The systematic classification and arrangement of the collections
which are so rapidly increasing from year to year demand a very
large amount of scientific study and research, which the caretakers
are expected to be qualified to carryon. The present staff is wholly
inadequate in numbers to accomplish all that is required in this

38 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

direction, especially since its time must be chiefly occupied in pro-
viding for the safety of the collections, in maintaining the exhibition
series, and in other routine and administrative duties. The research
work accomplished each year has, however, always been creditable,
both in amount and character, and during the past year it was
especially noteworthy in several particulars. Much assistance has
also been received at all times from outside, and a large proportion
of the classificatory results have been secured through this means,
specialists both in this country and abroad gladly taking advantage
of the opportunity to advance their studies through the new material
placed at their disposal. The researches of the year may be briefly
summarized as follows:

Doctor Hough has about completed a comprehensive report on
the Hopi Indians of Arizona, based upon several years’ experience
among these interesting people. He has also begun upon a detailed
study of the Pueblo material with which the Museum is very richly
supplied, has continued his studies upon the primitive uses of fire,
and has nearly finished a paper on the manufacture of pulque and
palm wine. Of persons not connected with the Museum who made
use of the collections in ethnology were Mr. Ole Solberg, of Christi-
ania, Norway, who spent some time in photographing the stone
implements of Alaska for comparison with similar implements of the
Eastern Eskimo preserved at Copenhagen; Mr. W. F. Andrews, of
the U.S. Bureau of Immigration, and Mr. Charles S. Sloane, of the U.
S. Census Office, who conducted inquiries to aid in the classification
of immigrants entering the United States; Mrs. W. Markland Molson,
of Montreal, who studied the imbricated basketry of the State of
Washington and British Columbia, with the object of definitely
locating the large collections by tribes, and Mr. George Iles, of New
York, who investigated the subject of survivals in invention.

The collections in prehistoric archeology were extensively con-
sulted by Dr. J. W. Fewkes, of the Bureau of American Ethnology,
who has in preparation a report upon his recent explorations in the
West Indian region.

Dr. AleS Hrdhéka, assistant curator in charge of the division of
physical anthropology, conducted investigations on the weight of the
brain in man and animals, the behavior of the brains of mammals
in various preserving solutions, the California mainland crania in
the Museum collection, and the cranial fosse. A number of visiting
Indians were also measured at the laboratory.

In the preparation of the important work entitled ‘Handbook of
the Indians,” soon to be issued by the Bureau of American Ethnol-
ogy, very material assistance was rendered by several members of
the Museum staff, especially Prof. O. T. Mason, Dr. Walter Hough,
and Dr. AleS Hrdlicka. The Museum collections were also utilized

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 39

by others in the same connection, as the basis both for descriptive
matter and for illustrations.

A description of the Howland collection of Buddhist religious art
was prepared by Dr. I. M. Casanowicz, assistant curator of historic
religions, and a catalogue of the collection of Grant relics, by Mr.
Paul Beckwith, assistant curator of history.

Mr. George C. Maynard, assistant curator of technology, continued
his inquiries relative to early steam railroading in the United States,
paying most attention to the historic locomotive Stourbridge Lion,
which was brought to this country near the end of the third decade
of the last century, and of which the principal parts are now preserved
in the National Museum. Important records concerning this engine
were obtained from several sources, but mainly from the Delaware
and Hudson Company of New York, whose pioneer efforts in intro-
ducing and establishing steam railroads are being worked up by Mr.
Maynard as a contribution to this interesting subject.

A new genus and species of sea lion, based upon a fossil skull from
Oregon, was the subject of a paper by Dr. F. W. True, head curator
of biology, who has also begun upon a revision of the American
species of fossil cetaceans, of which he collected many specimens in
Maryland during the year, and an account of the Museum collection
of ziphioid whales.

The assistant curator of the division of mammals, Mr. Gerrit S.
Miler, jr., spent most of the year in Europe, mainly at the natural
history museums of Paris, Berlin, and Leiden, and the British
Museum in London, where he accomplished very important results
in the direction of completing his work upon several large collections
of the National Museum, which could not have been properly studied
in any other way. The foreign museums named are very rich in
type specimens from the Malayan and other Asiatic regions and
from South America, with which it was desired to make comparisons,
especially in regard to the extensive East Indian collections con-
tributed by Dr. W. L. Abbott and to recently acquired material
from tropical America. These investigations have greatly advanced
the position of the National Museum as a place of research respecting
oriental and other exotic mammals through the authenticity thus
given to their classification.

Besides his general work on the Abbott collections, not yet in final
shape for printing, Mr. Miller prepared revisions of the Malayan
tree-shrews, chevrotains, and squirrels, and a key to the genera of
Viverride and the civet family. He also completed a new classi-
fication of bats, which has been in progress for two or three years,
keys to all the genera being rewritten and diagnoses of nearly 60
species prepared, and a revision of the South American free-tailed
bats. While at Leiden Mr. Miller studied the principal museums

40) REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

there and made an important report upon their buildings, installa-
tion, and administration.

A study of the bats of the genera Glossophaga and Hemiderma was
begun by Mr. Walter L. Hahn, aid in the division of mammals.

The collections in this division were utilized by the Biological]
Survey of the U. 8S. Department of Agriculture, and specimens were
lent for study to Mr. Knud Andersen, of the British Museum; Dr. Paul
Matschie and Dr. M. Hilzheimer, of the Royal Zoological Museum,
Berlin; M. Charles Mottaz, of Geneva, Switzerland; Dr. C. I.
Forsyth Major, of the British Museum, London; Mr. Glover M. Allen,
of the Boston Society of Natural History; Mr. Outram Bangs, of
Boston; Prof. F. W. Putnam, of the Peabody Museum of Harvard
University; Dr. John M. Ingersoll, of Cleveland, Ohio; and Dr.
Franklin P. Mall, of Johns Hopkins University.

Dr. E. A. Mearns, U. S. Army, on sick leave from the Philippines,
spent about four and one-half months in this division, working up
the material obtained by himself in those islands and completing the
first part of his report on the mammals collected on the Mexican
Boundary Survey.

Volume 3 of Bulletin No. 50, entitled the Birds of North and Mid-
dle America, by Mr. Robert Ridgway, curator of birds, was com-
pleted and published during the year, and about one-half of the
manuscript for volume 4 was finished. The latter volume will com-
prise the families of thrushes, mocking birds, starlings, weaver birds,
Jarks, sharp bills, tyrant flycatchers, manakins, and chatterers. Mr.
Ridgway also published descriptions of new species of birds from
tropical America. During his visit to Costa Rica, elsewhere referred
to, he made extensive studies on the collection of birds in the
National Museum of that country, the results of which will be
embodied in his work.

The assistant curator of birds, Dr. Charles W. Richmond, continued
the study and determination of the birds collected by Dr. W. L,
Abbott on several islands off the west coast of Sumatra, and added
several thousand cards to the general catalogue of genera and species
of birds for reference purposes in the division. Three papers by him
on nomenclature and a description of a swiftlet were published during
the year. Mr. J. H. Riley, aid in the division of birds, was mainly
employed in making measurements of specimens and compiling refer-
ences for the use of the curator, but he also reported on a collection
of birds from the islands of Antigua and Barbuda and on the birds
of the Bahama Islands, the latter while serving as an assistant on
the expedition of the Geographical Society of Baltimore. Mr. H. C.
Oberholser, of the Biological Survey, completed studies on the birds
cbtained by Dr. W. L. Abbott in Kilimanjaro, East Africa, and has

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 4]

taken up other collections made by Doctor Abbott on islands in the
China Sea and neighboring regions.

The collections and opportunities for research offered by the
division of birds were utilized by the Biological Survey, the com-
mittee on nomenclature of the Ornithologists Union, Dr. Jonathan
Dwight, jr., of New York, and Dr. E. A. Mearns, U. S. Army, the
last mentioned giving much time to the identification of the Philip-
pine birds of his own collecting. Among those to whom specimens
were sent for study were Dr. J. A. Allen and Mr. Frank M. Chapman,
of the American Museum of Natural History; Mr. Herbert O.
Jenkins, of Leland Stanford Junior University, and Dr. Louis
Bishop, of New Haven, Connecticut.

Mr. Barton A. Bean, assistant curator of the division of fishes,
identified the collection of fishes made by himself and others in
Beaufort Harbor, North Carolina, in 1904; prepared papers on the
history of the whale shark (Rhinodon) and the adult of the goblin
shark (Mitsukurina), and, conjointly with Dr. C. H. Eigenmann,
of Indiana University, worked up the collection of Amazon River
fishes made by Prof. J. B. Steere in 1901. The specimens of Characins
belonging to the Museum and the small collection of fishes obtained
in Patagonia some time since by the late Mr. J. B. Hatcher were turned
over to Doctor Eigenmann for study and report. A number of speci-
mens in several groups of fishes were sent to Leland Stanford Junior
University for examination by Dr. C. H. Gilbert, Dr. J.C. Thompson,
and Mr. E. C. Starks. Among many experts who have worked upon
the collections of fishes in the Museum may be mentioned Dr
Theodore N. Gill, an associate of the Museum; Dr. B. W. Evermann
and Dr. W. C. Kendall, of the Bureau of Fisheries; Dr. T. H: Bean,
and Mr. E. W. Gudger, of the State Normal School, Greensboro,
North Carolina. The investigations of Doctor Evermann had refer-
ence mainly to the preparation of a joint report with Dr. D. S.
Jordan on the fishes of Hawaii. Dr. C. H. Gilbert came to the
Museum in June, 1905, with the expectation of remaining through
the summer, for the purpose of working up the Pacific deep-sea
fishes represented in the collection.

Dr. William H. Ashmead, assistant curator of the division of insects,
has been mainly occupied in finishing his work on the superfamily
Formicoidea, or ants, with which will be completed his classification
of the entire order Hymenoptera. His monograph on the North
American Braconide, on which he has been engaged for a number
of years past, will next be taken up for completion. Mr. D. W.
Coquillett, custodian of the Diptera, has spent much time in the
preparation of a monograph of the North American mosquitoes
(Culicidee). More than forty papers by members of the staff of
this division were published during the year. Specimens represent

42 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

ing several groups of insects have been sent for study to a number of
persons, including Sir George Hampson, of the British Museum,
London; Mr. W. D. Kearfott, and Prof. Raymond Osburn, of New
York City; Mr. Charles Schaeffer, of the Museum of the Brooklyn
Institute; Mr. J. F. McClendon, of the University of Pennsylvania;
Prof. A. D. MacGillivray, of Cornell University; Mr. W. A. Hooker,
of Amherst, Massachusetts; Mr. Frederick Blanchard, of Tyngsboro,
Massachusetts; Mr. E. C. Van Duzee, of Buffalo, New York, and
Prof. H. C. Fall, of Pasadena, California.

The revision of the land and fresh-water shells of North America
north of latitude 49°, by Dr. W. H. Dall, curator of mollusks, men-
tioned in the last report, was completed and in type at the close of
the year, forming a paper of about 200 pages with two plates in
the series of the Harriman Alaska Expedition. Among other papers
finished by the same author were a review of the classification of the
American Cyclostomatid, printed in the Proceedings of the Mala-
cological Society of London, and reports on land and fresh-water
shells collected in the Bahamas by Mr. Owen Bryant and on land
shells obtained in central Mexico by Dr. Edward Palmer, printed
in the Quarterly Issue of the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections.

Work stated by Dr. Dall to be nearing completion includes the
extensive report on the Pyramidellide, begun some time ago, in
joint authorship with Dr. Paul Bartsch; a paper on certain exotic
Pyramidellide lent by the Zoological Museum at Berlin, Germany,
and reports on the mollusca collected by the Bureau of Fisheries
steamer Albatross at the Hawaiian Islands and on the voyage of
1905 to the southern Pacific Ocean under the direction of Dr. Alex-
ander Agassiz. The total number of papers on recent mollusks
published during the year by Dr. Dall was 12 and by Doctor Bartsch
4. Mr. Ralph Arnold has continued his studies on the Pectinide.
In June, 1905, Doctor Bartsch visited Detroit, Michigan, and New
Philadelphia, Ohio, for the purpose of consulting the large collection
of Mr. Bryant Walker at the former place and that of Dr. V. Sterki
at the latter. Both of these gentlemen have offered to furnish speci-
mens for filling gaps in the Museum collection.

The studies of Dr. James E. Benedict, assistant curator of marine
invertebrates, on the Anomuran crustaceans were interrupted by
his assignment to duties in connection with the Louisiana Purchase
and the Lewis and Clark expositions. Miss M. J. Rathbun, also
assistant curator, prepared for the Bureau of Fisheries a compre-
hensive report on the Brachyuran and Macruran crustaceans of
Hawaii, containing descriptions of 80 new species, ulustrated with
24 plates and 78 text figures, and a report on the specimens of the
same groups obtained during the Alaska salmon investigations of
1903. She continued her investivations ou the fresh-water crabs

(Potamonidz), based mainly upon the collection of the Natural
History Museum of Paris, the results being incorporated in the
second part of her monograph, which is being published by that
museum. She also described a new species of Pinnotheres from the
collection of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, and
published three other short papers.

Dr. Harriet Richardson, collaborator, reported upon the Isopod
crustaceans from Alaskan explorations of the Bureau of Fisheries,
has nearly completed a manual of all the North American forms of
this group, containing descriptions and figures of each species, and
has prepared descriptions of a new genus and two new species of
Tanaide and of a new Livoneca from Panama. Dr. T. Wayland
Vauchan, custodain, has continued his studies upon the collection
of living stony corals, especially those recently obtained at the
Hawaiian Islands, and has about completed a report on the latter.
Prof. W. P. Hay, of Howard University, continued, as opportunity
offered, his work on the crayfishes represented in the Museum, having
in progress a comprehensive report upon the species represented.

The collections of marine invertebrates were consulted by Dr. K.
Mitsukuri, director of the School of Science of the Imperial Univer-
sity of Tokyo; Dr. Carlos Moreira, of the National Museum of
Brazil, Rio de Janeiro; Mr. C. A. Shore, of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, and Dr. H. V. Wilson, of the University of North Carolina.

The crustaceans collected by the Fisheries steamer Albatross in the
eastern Pacific Ocean during the cruise of 1904-5 were deposited
in the National Museum by the Bureau of Fisheries, with the arrange-
ment that they be distributed to specialists for the preparation of
reports for publication by the Bureau of Fisheries. The several
groups have been assigned as follows: Decapoda, to Miss M. J.
Rathbun, U. S. National Museum; Alpheide, to Dr. H. Coutiére,
Ecole Supérieure de Pharmacie, Paris, France; Schizopoda, to Dr.
A. E. Ortmann, Carnegie Museum; Stomatopoda, to Dr. R. P.
Bigelow, Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Isopoda, to Dr.
Harriet Richardson, U. S. National Museum; Amphipoda, to Dr. S.
J. Holmes, University of Michigan; Cumacea, to Dr. W. T. Calman,
British Museum; Cirripedia, to Dr. H. A. Pilsbry, Philadelphia
Academy of Natural Sciences; Copepoda, to Dr. K. W. Genthe,
Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut; Ostracoda, to Mr. R. W.
Sharpe, New Trier High School, Wilmette, Illinois; Pyenogonida,
to Dr. Leon J. Cole, Harvard University.

The marine invertebrates from the Hawaiian Islands, obtained by
the Bureau of Fisheries in 1891 and 1901 and by Mr. H. W. Hen-
shaw, were sent to the same workers as the larger collection of 1902,
as follows: Sponges, to Dr. F. Urban, K. K. Zoolocisches Institut,
Prag, Austria; starfishes, ophiurans and holothurians, to Walter

K. Fisher, Stanford University; Actinians, to Dr. J. E. Duerden,
University of Michigan; Stomatopoda, to Dr. R. P. Bigelow;
Schizopoda, to Dr. A. EK. Ortmann, and Alpheide, to Dr. H. Coutiére,
Paris, France.

To Mr. Walter K. Fisher, of Stanford University, who has been
studying the echinoderms of the Pacific coast and Hawaii, secured
during recent expeditions of the Bureau of Fisheries, has been
assigned the working up of the entire and very extensive collection
of starfishes from the north Pacific Ocean in the possession of the
Museum. This material has been derived from many sources, but
is mainly the result of the explorations of the steamer Albatross,
beginning in 1888.

In addition to the above, through arrangements made in previous
years, the pedate holothurians of the Museum collection are being
worked up by Prof. Charles L. Edwards, of Trinity College; the
apodal holothurians by Prof. Hubert Lyman Clark, of Olivet College ;
the hydroids by Prof. C. ©. Nutting, of the University of Iowa; the
parasitic copepods by Dr. Charles B. Wilson, of the State Normal
School, Westfield, Massachusetts, and the free-swimming copepods
by Dr. K. W. Genthe, of Trinity College.

No investigations in helminthology have been conducted in the
Museum, but from the researches in the Marine-Hospital Service
by Dr. ©. W. Stiles, in the Bureau of Animal Industry by Mr. B. H.
Ransom, and elsewhere by others, the collections in this section are
being rapidly increased and becoming of exceptional importance.

The associate curator of the division of plants, Dr. J. N. Rose, in a
paper entitled ‘Studies of Mexican and Central American Plants,
No. 4,” published in the ‘‘Contributions from the National Her-
barium,’ has given descriptions of many new species, revisions of
several genera, and notes on many rare forms. In conjunction
with Dr. N. L. Britton, of the New York Botanical Garden, he
completed a Revision of the Crassulacez of North America. His
researches on the Cactacee have resulted in extensive additions to
this branch of the collection, which seems destined to become the
largest and richest in the world. The importance of the work on
the Crassulacee may be judged by the fact that when the joint
authors began upon their investigations 5 native genera and about
120 species were recognized as belonging to the flora of North America,
while at present the number of genera has been increased to 24 and
of species to 283. In the beginning the Museum collection contained
only about 80 species, and now it has 270 species, of which 115 are
represented by actual types.

Mr. W. R. Maxon, assistant curator, division of plants, has made
good progress in the study of the ferns, having prepared and issued
several papers on this group. During six months of the year he was

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. ; 45

transferred to the Department of Agriculture to assist in the cotton
investigations in Guatemala, which gave him the opportunity to
make an interesting collection of the plants of that country. In
addition to editorial work, Mr. E. S. Steele spent much time in the
identification of miscellaneous lots of plants, mainly sent to the
Museum for that purpose by the Department of Agriculture; and
Mr. J. H. Painter, appointed aid near the close of the year, gave
some attention to the Mexican species of Meibomia.

Capt. John Donnell Smith, an associate in botany, reports that
during the year he continued his studies of plants collected in Cen-
tral America by himself and others at his instance. Cards were in
course of printing for the seventh distribution of these plants and
for Part VII of ‘‘Enumeratio Plantorum Guatemalensium necnon
Salvadorensium Hondurensium Nicaraguensium Costaricensium quas
edidit John Donnell Smith.” The twenty-seventh continuation of
his articles entitled ‘‘Undescribed Plants from Guatemala and
other Central American Republics” was submitted to the Botanical
Gazette for publication.

During the year Dr. Edward L. Greene, also an associate in botany,
began the preparation of an important paper under a grant from the
Smithsonian Institution, to be entitled ‘‘Landmarks of Botanical
History,’ which he expects to complete in the course of about two
years.

The total number of papers by the staff of the division of plants
issued during the year amounted to 39. The collections in the
division have been consulted by the botanists of the Department of
Agriculture, by Dr. N. L. Britton and Dr. M. A. Howe, of the New
York Botanical Garden, by Prof. E. L. Morris, of the Washington
High School, and many others.

Over 2,000 sheets of plants were lent for study to some eighteen
institutions and specialists, the larger sendings having been to the
Gray Herbarium, Cambridge, Massachusetts; the New York Botan-
ical Garden; the Ames Botanical Laboratory, North Easton, Mas-
sachusetts; the Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plains, Massachusetts;
President Ezra Brainerd, of Middlebury College; Mr. B. F. Bush, of
Courtney, Missouri; Doctor Fedde, of the Royal Botanical Museum,
Berlin; Fr. Buchenau, of the Natural History Society of Berlin, and
the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, England.

The head curator of geology, Dr. George P. Merrill, has given much
time to the preparation of two general papers, one a contribution to
the history of American geology, the other a history of American
public scientific surveys. The former was completed during the
year and is in course of publication in the Annual Report for 1904.
He also conducted observations on the origin of asbestiform ser-
pentine and the weathering of building stone.

46 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

Researches in the division of mineralogy were mainly confined to
the study of the structure of meteorites by Mr. Wirt Tassin, assistant
curator, involving the devising of methods and apparatus for sepa-
rations, new methods of analyses, and improvements in methods of
photographing opaque objects under high powers.

During the early part of the year the assistant curator of strati-
graph‘c paleontology, Mr. R. S. Bassler, then an assistant in the
U.S. Geological Survey, completed reports on the paleontology and
stratigraphy of the Ordovician rocks of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsyl-
vania, and on the cement resources of the valley of Virginia, both
of which are published by the Survey. During the same period he
also prepared an article on the James types of Ordovician and Silu-
rian bryozoa, which is now being printed by the University of Chicago.
Subsequently he submitted to the Museum a paper on the Bryozoa
of the Rochester shales, which are treated monographically, the
correlation of American and European Silurian strata being indi-
cated. The monograph of American fossil Ostracoda by Mr. E. O.
Ulrich and Mr. Bassler is still in course of preparation, little progress
having been made during the year owing to the press of other duties.
Mr. Bassler is also engaged upon a somewhat extended paper on
the stratigraphy and paleontology of the valley of Virginia.

The catalogue of type specimens of fossil invertebrates in the
Department of Geology went to press before the close of the year.

As explained in a previous report, the specimens of Paleozoic
insects in the Museum collection were sent for study to Dr. Anton
Hand irsch, of the K. K. Naturhistorische Hofmuseum of Vienna.
His paper on this interesting material was received during the year
and is being translated from the German under the supervision of
Prof. Charles Schuchert, of Yale University. Other loans of fossil
invertebrates for study purposes comprised specimens from the
Devonian of Canada and representatives of Hurystomites virginiana
Hyatt to Dr. John M. Clarke, of the New York State Museum;
specimens from the Maryland Devonian and the stratigraphic series
of New York Medina fossils to Prof. Charles Schuchert, of Yale Uni-
versity, and the Troost collection of fossil crinoids to Miss Elvira
Wood, of the U. S. Geological Survey. Among specialists who vis-
ited the Museum were Mr. E. F. Burchard, Mr. S. H. Ball, and Mr.
R. W. Stone, of the U. S. Geological Survey; Mr. L. N. Stephenson
and Mr. W. F. Prouty, of Johns Hopkins University; Mr. Walter
Granger, of the American Museum of Natural History, Mr. T. H.
Aldrich and Col. T. L. Casey.

Dr. William H. Dall reports the completion by himself of a review
of the relations of the Miocene beds of Maryland with other Ameri-
can Miocene and the Miocene of Europe, which was published in the
Miocene volume of the Maryland State survey. A monograph of

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 47

the fauna of the Coos Bay Miocene Empire beds of Oregon is now in
progress.

The division of paleobotany, which contains the collections of
both the Museum and the Survey, has remained, as heretofore,
under the supervision of the paleobotanists of the U. S. Geological
Survey. Prof. L. F. Ward completed his monograph on. ‘The
status of the Mesozoic floras of the United States, Part II,” which
will soon be issued by the Survey. Mr. David White made exten-
sive use of the Lacoe collection in the preparation of a report on the
stratigraphic succession of the Pottsville floras in the basins of the
Appalachian trough, while Dr. F. H. Knowlton was occupied with
the flora of the Laramie group and with material from Alaska.
The type-specimens of the genus Myrica were the subject of study
by Mr. E. W. Berry, secretary of the Torrey Botanical Club, of Pas-
saic, New Jersey, and the type specimens of the genera Eucalyptus
and Casuarina by Mr. Henry Dean, president of the Linnzan Society
of New South Wales.

EXPLORATIONS.

Members of the Museum staff have little opportunity to engage in
field work, owing to the very limited funds available for the purpose,
and all expeditions undertaken by them are naturally restricted to
obtaining material not already represented in the collections. The
principal sources of additions to the collections are the Government
surveys and explorations, such as are conducted by the Geological
Survey, the Bureau of Fisheries, several bureaus of the Department
of Agriculture, and the Bureau of American Ethnology, all of which,
under the law, are required to deposit their collections in the Museum
as soon as they have been studied, though these transfers are often
made without awaiting this result.

Individuals collecting in a private capacity are sometimes among
the most liberal contributors, and two such cases are especially note-
worthy in the history of the past year. Dr. W. L. Abbott, whose
generosity has so often been mentioned in these reports, continued
his work in the Far East and has sent home large series of specimens
in anthropology, mammalogy, and _ ornithology. Twenty-eight
cases of ethnological objects, comprising his last shipment for the
year, illustrate investigations on Sumatra, the Mergui group, and
the islands of Nias and Engano. | His studies in this subject have
been extensive and exhaustive and the results naturally most instruc-
tive and important. The field covered by his labors in collecting
mammals and birds included mainly the Malay Peninsula and adja-
cent islands and the islands of Banka, Billiton, and Karimata,
between Sumatra and Borneo, from which he has sent many hun-
dreds of interesting specimens.

48 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

Maj. Edgar A. Mearns, Surgeon, U. S. Army, stationed with the
troops in Mindanao, gave largely of his time to collecting in the same
lines as Doctor Abbott, and his collection, presented to the Museum,
is very rich in ethnological objects of the Moros and in well-preserved
specimens of the mammals and birds of this interesting region.
Besides the large island, Doctor Mearns also visited Dinagat, Basilau,
Sulu, and Cagayan Sulu. His most important discoveries of ani-
mals were made on the upper slopes of Mount Apo, whose zoological
novelties have been described elsewhere.

Several expeditions sent out by the Bureau of American Ethnol-
ogy have served to enrich the collections to a very material degree.
Dr. Ales Hrdlitka, detailed by the Museum, spent about ten weeks
among the Apaches and Pimas of southern Arizona and New Mexico,
and while conducting physical and physiological studies of the Indian
children and completing medical researches previously begun, found
opportunity for making a large collection of archeological and eth-
nological objects. Continuing his researches to determine the
range of Antillean culture, Dr. J. Walter Fewkes actively prosecuted
his studies during the winter at the sites of ancient Totonac semi-
civilization in the State of Vera Cruz, Mexico. Mrs. Matilda Coxe
Stevenson spent the greater part of the year in continuing her inves-
tigations among the Zufi Indians of New Mexico, in the course of
which a large and valuable collection was made.

On the Ist of June the assistant curator of ethnology, Dr. Walter
Hough, took the field in Arizona and New Mexico to conduct the
Muscum-Gates Expedition of 1905, with the object of further deter-
mining the distribution of the ancient pueblo peoples in the Tulerosa
region, a work begun in 1903. This expedition promises a large
collection.

As elsewhere noted, the assistant curator of mammals, Mr. Gerrit S.
Miller, jr., and the curator of reptiles, Mr..Leonhard Stejneger, spent
most of the summer of 1904 in field investigations in Europe. After
some collecting in the vicinity of Genoa, Italy, Mr. Miller proceeded to
the region of the Alps for the purpose of instituting comparisons
between the vertical distribution of life in that area with the life zones
of the mountains of eastern North America. A large number of speci-
mens, mainly of mammals, birds, reptiles, and plants, were secured,
and many photographs were taken. Headquarters were established
successively at Aix-les-Bains, Geneva, St. Cergue, Chamonix, Zermatt,
Grindelwald, Vitznau, and Goschenen, from which places trips were
made up the neighboring slopes.

The head curator of biology, Dr. F. W. True, made a number of
excursions near the close of the year to the Calvert Cliffs and points
on the Patuxent River, Maryland, and also to Virginia, for the pur-
pose of collecting specimens of fossil cetaceans and observing their

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 49

mode of occurrence. Much new material was obtained at the Calvert
Cliffs, some of which throws an important light on the relation of the
American forms to those described from the Tertiary formations of
Europe.

In the autumn of 1904 Mr. Robert Ridgway, curator of birds, pro-
ceeded to Costa Rica, where he remained several months studying the ©
collection of birds in the national museum of that country, collecting
in various places to supply desiderata in the museum here, and inves-
tigating the distribution and natural environment of many species.
The results of this expedition have been of material aid to Mr.
Ridgway in continuing his work on the birds of North and Middle
America and also to the national collections. In the beginning recon-
naissances were made in the San José Valley, on the surrounding
mountains, and about Turrucares, on the Pacific Railroad, at Santo
Domingo, the present terminus of the railroad, about the voleano of
Poas, and at Pigres, an Indian village at the mouth of the Rio Grande
de Tarcoles. At the latter place ten specimens were obtained of the
rare humming bird, Arinia boucardi, previously only known from the
single type-specimen. Later a trip was made to the hacienda Monte
Redonde, on the south side of the Cerro de la Caudelaria. After the
arrival of the collecting outfit, which had been delayed, Mr. Ridgway
revisited Pigres, stopping at several places on the way from San José,
and collected at Turrialba, on the railroad connecting with the Atlantic
side; at Bonilla, a stock farm situated about 1,000 feet above the
railroad; at Coleblanco, between the volcanoes of Irazu and Turrialba,
elevated about 7,000 feet, and on the volcanoes themselves. The
total number of specimens of birds obtained, not including those pre-
sented by the national museum of Costa Rica, was 1,359.

Birds and reptiles were collected in Jamaica and Guatemala by
Mr. W. H. Maxon, of the division of plants. The division of birds
was benefited by the explorations in China of Messrs. Willis and
Blackwelder, in North Borneo of Mr. G. A. Goss and H. D. Dodge,
and*on Kyska Island, Alaska, of Dr. J. Hobart Egbert, of the U.S.
Coast Survey. The investigations in Cuba of Mr. E. A. Schwarz, of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and also custodian of the Coleop-
tera in the Museum, resulted in the acquisition of a large and impor-
tant collection of insects, especially rich in Coleoptera. Mr. H. S.
Barber, aid in insects, collected extensively in the Dismal Swamp
region in the spring.

The explorations of the Bureau of Fisheries have added much mate-
rial in the line of fishes and marine invertebrates. The most impor-
tant expedition was by the steamer A/batross, which under the scien-
tific direction of Dr. Alexander Agassiz made extensive investigations
in the eastern Pacific Ocean between October, 1904, and March, 1905.
The vessel touched at Panama, the Galapagos, Callao, Easter Island,

°

50 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

Manga Reva, and Acapulco, making large collections especially of
pelagic material between these points, the vertical tow net being used
to a depth of 300 fathoms. A small amount of deep-sea dredging and
shore collecting was also carried on. :

Mr. Barton A. Bean, assistant curator of fishes, made a collecting
trip to Carroll County, Maryland, and Mr. Owen Bryant, of Boston,
secured large numbers of mollusks at the Bahama Islands, which he
shared with the Museum.

Among botanical expeditions sent out by the Department of Agri-
culture, two were under officers of that Department, who are also con-
nected with the Museum; Mr. F. V. Coville, who visited Texas, Ari-
zona, and New Mexico, and Prof. O. F. Cook, who was detailed to
Guatemala. Mr. W. R. Maxon, assistant curator of plants, returned
from his second trip to Jamaica in July, 1904, bringing a large number
of specimens of plants. Dr. J. N. Rose, associate curator of plants,
left Washington on June 21, 1905, for field work in Mexico, which will
occupy him during the summer.

In cooperation with the U. S. Geological Survey and by direct
detail from the Museum, three members of the staff of the Depart-
ment of Geology were enabled to take the field for short trips. The
head curator, Dr. George P. Merrill, visited Florida and the Thetford
Mines region of Canada, securing good exhibition samples of coquina
and of soft limestone from the former, and a fine large block of ser-
pentine, with veins of so-called asbestos from the latter. The assist-
ant curator of stratigraphic paleontology, Dr. R. 8S. Bassler, made
explorations in Virginia, South Carolina, and Kentucky, during which
he made extensive collections of fossil invertebrates, while Mr. C. W.
Gilmore, preparator in vertebrate paleontology, collected in that line
in New Mexico. Mr. A. G. Maddren, under a grant from the Smith-
sonian Institution, spent the summer of 1904 in Alaska, mainly in
search of remains of the larger mammals, found fossil in that region.
The results of his expedition have been described under the heading
of researches. ®

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS.

Of the regular series of duplicate specimens which are prepared,
as the occasion offers, for the use of educational institutions, 34 sets
of fishes, 31 of marine invertebrates, 46 of fossil invertebrates, and
19 of material illustrating rock decomposition and soil formation, a
total of 130, besides 60 special sets, containing from a few to several
hundred specimens each, were distributed during the year. The
total number of specimens so disposed of was 14,103, of which 9,573
were biological, 4,248 geological, and 282 ethnological. Over a ton
of mineral and rock fragments was also divided among 11 colleges,
in lots of approximately 200 pounds each, for the use of students
in blowpipe analysis.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 51

In making exchanges with scientific establishments and_ indi-
viduals, for which a corresponding equivalent is received, 14,129
duplicate specimens were used, in 224 lots, of which 156 were biolog-
ical, with 9,618 specimens; 22 geological, with 3,637 specimens, and
46 anthropological, with 874 specimens. <A total of 14,615 speci-
mens were also sent to specialists for study, in 139 lots, 119 being
biological and 20 geological. References to many of these trans-
actions will be found under other headings, but as an indication of
the extensive relations of the Museum abroad it is interesting to
note here the sources of foreign exchanges for the year.

The establishments from which specimens were received were
the British Museum of Natural History, London, England; the
University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge, England; the Royal
Botanic Gardens, Kew, England; the Museum of Natural History,

LECTURES AND MEETINGS.

The lecture hall was used for lectures and meetings during the
year as follows:

On March 9, 1905, the Hon. Andrew D. White, several times the
representative abroad of the United States, both as minister and
as ambassador, delivered the first lecture under the Hamilton fund
of the Smithsonian Institution, his subject being ‘‘The diplomatic
service of the United States, with some hints toward its reform.’
A distinguished audience was present, the Secretary of the Insti-
tution presiding.

On March 25 the U. S. Naval Medical School held its annual
commencement exercises here. The diplomas were presented to
the graduates by the President of the United States, and addresses
were made by Dr. W. H. Welch, of Johns Hopkins University, and
Medical Director R. A. Marmion, U. 8. Navy, the director of the
school.

The following Saturday afternoon lectures were delivered under the
auspices of the Biological Society of Washington, the attendance
ranging from about 300 to 600:

March 18, “‘Diatoms: The jewels of the plant world,” by Dr.
Albert Mann.

March 25, ‘‘ Mosquitoes,” by Dr. L. O. Howard.

April 1, ‘‘ Forest insects and their destructive work,’ by Dr. A. D.
Hopkins.

The National Academy of Sciences held its annual session in the
Museum building from April 18 to 20, the lecture hall being used for
the public meetings and the office of the assistant secretary for busi-
ness purposes.

On May 3 the American Institute of Mining Engineers held one of
its sessions in the lecture hall. The delegates were received by the
assistant secretary, who spoke of the relations of the Institute to the
National Museum. Doctor Merrill, head curator of geology, dis-
cussed the division of applied geology in the Museum, after which the
members of the Institute visited the Department of Geology.

Special facilities were afforded the delegates to the seventh session
of the International Railway Congress and the Exhibition of the
American Railway Appliance Association, held in Washington from
May 4 to 15, 1905, to study the technological exhibits, some of which
had been expressly assembled for the purpose, and an informal meet-
ing of some of the deiegates was held in the mineralogical labora-
tory to discuss metallographic methods.

54 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

On September 20, 1904, a special exhibition of electrical apparatus
was arranged in the lecture hall for the convenience of the forcign
electrical engineers, who were in the city as guests of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers.

CORRESPONDENCE AND DOCUMENTS.

There has been a large increase in the correspondence during
recent years, as may be judged by the fact that, while five years ago
the total number of letters written filled about 4,500 pages of letter-
press, during last year nearly 8,000 pages were required for this pur-
pose, besides over 2,000 pages of memoranda bearing upon th» cor-
respondence. This growth is chiefly due to the increased demands of
the public for information on scientific subjects, and all requests of
this character made in evident good faith are cheerfully complied
with. This is in accordance with long-established custom for the
diffusion of knowledge under the terms of the bequest of Smithson.

In the Museum, however, this task has in many respects become
onerous, in view of the relatively small force employed and of the
fact that the time of both the scientific and the clerical staff is involved.
Specimens in lots of a single object to several hundred are received
for identification, the number of such lots during the year having
been 1,051. While the Museum has no facilitics for making quantita-
tive analyses, yet the qualitative examinations of the many mining
products received annually generally suffice for the purposcs of the
sender.

There has been a notable increase in the inquiries regarding
museum administration, the building of cases, the installation of col-
lections, their labeling, etc., indicating greater activity in museum
work throughout the country and the establishment of new museums.

A large part of the information furnished by the Museum is accom-
plished through its publications, of which not less than 25,000 volumes
and pamphlets were distributed from the office of correspondence
during the year to institutions and individuals named on the regular
mailing list, while about 18,000 additional publications were fur-
nished in response to special requests.

PUBLICATIONS.

The publications of the past year comprised the Annual Report of
the National Museum for 1903, issued May 17, 1905; the third vol-
ume of Mr. Robert Ridgway’s work on the ‘‘Birds of North and
Middle America,”’ issued December 31, 1904; part 4, of volume 8, of
‘Contributions from the National Herbarium,” entitled “‘Studies of
Mexican and Central American Plants, No. 4,’ by Dr. J. N. Rose,
issued April 20, 1905, and volume 9 of the same scries, entitled ‘‘ The
Useful Plants of the Island of Guam,” by Mr. William E. Safford, of

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. Bo

the Department of Agriculture. Most of the edition of volume 27 of
the Proceedings was distributed in July, 1904, although a small num-
ber of copies were sent out on June 30, the last day of the previous
fiscal year. :

The Annual Report for 1903 contained, besides the administrative
report of the assistant secretary and the reports of the head curators,
with the usual appendices, a paper by the assistant secretary, entitled
“The United States National Museum: An account of the buildings
occupied by the national collections,’ and a translation from the
German of three papers combined as one by Dr. A. B. Meyer, of
Dresden, entitled ‘‘Studies of the museums and kindred institutions
of New York City, Albany, Buffalo, and Chicago, with notes on some
European institutions.’”’ The paper by Doctor Meyer, so far as it
related to the United States, was based chiefly on personal observa-
tions during the summer and autumn of 1899.

Volume 27 of the Proceedings is composed of papers numbered
from 1350 to 1381, inclusive. Papers 1382 to 1406, inclusive, forming
the greater part of volume 28 of the Proceedings, were published
during the year, and it is expected that this volume will be completed
during the summer of 1905.

The third volume of Mr. Ridgway’s work on the ‘‘ Birds of North
and Middle America”? contains 821 pages and covers the wagtails
and pipits, swallows, waxwings, silky-flycatchers, palm-chats, vireos,
shrikes, crows and jays, titmice, nuthatches, creepers, wrens, dip-
pers, wren-tits, and warblers. It is illustrated with nineteen plates.
The manuscript for volume 4 is well advanced.

The papers published as part 4 of volume 8, and volume 9 of the
‘Contributions from the National Herbarium,” already mentioned
by title, are among the most useful that have appeared in this series.
There is considerable activity among American botanists in the
study of Mexican and Central American plants, and Doctor Rose’s
contribution will no doubt be a welcome addition to the literature
on this subject.

The paper by Mr. Safford on the Island of Guam has elicited much
favorable comment and is a very important contribution. Mr.
Safford, until recently a lieutenant in the U. S. Navy, served as
assistant governor of Guam from August, 1899, to August, 1900.
He is, therefore, especially well equipped for preparing such a work,
which includes an interesting account of the physical characteristics
and natural history of the island, the character and history of its
people and of their agriculture, and also a descriptive catalogue of
the plants.

These two papers are the only ones from the ‘‘Contributions from
the National Herbarium”’ available for distribution by the National
Museum, excepting reprints of volumes 2 and 7, entitled, respectively,

56 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

‘‘Botany of Western Texas,’ by John M. Coulter, and ‘‘Systematic
and Geographic Botany, and Aboriginal Uses of Plants,’’ by Messrs.
Coulter, Rose, Cook, and Chesnut.

Owing to the continuous demand for certain papers issued in past
years, the first editions of which had become exhausted, the following
have been reprinted: ‘‘Cradles of the American Aborigines,’ by
Otis T. Mason, from the Report for 1887; ‘‘The Extermination of
the American Bison, with a sketch of its Discovery and Life History,”
by William T. Hornaday, from the Report for 1887; ‘‘The Expedi-
tion to Funk Island, with Observations upon the History and
Anatomy of the Great Auk,” by Frederic A. Lucas, from the Report
for 1888; ‘‘Fire-making Apparatus in the U. S. National Museum,”
by Walter Hough, from the Report for 1888; ‘‘White-line Engraving
or Relief-printing in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries,’ by
S. R. Koehler, from the Report for 1890; ‘‘Japanese Wood-cutting
and Wood-cut Printing,” by T. Tokuno, from the Report for 1892;
“Contributions to Philippine Ornithology—Part I, A list of the
birds known to inhabit the Philippine and Palawan Islands, showing
their distribution within the limits of the two groups,” by Dean @.
Worcester and Frank S. Bourns; ‘“ Part II, Notes on the distribution
of Philippine birds,’ by Dean C. Worcester, from volume 20 of the
Proceedings.

In addition there were also reprinted Parts B, @, D, E, F, J, K, L,
O, P, of Bulletin 39, containing, respectively, directions for collecting
recent and fossil plants, birds’ eggs, reptiles and batrachians, insects,
fossils, scale insects, dragon flies, stone flies, and May flies; and also
notes on the preparation of rough skeletons, instructions for obtaining
information concerning the aboriginal uses of plants, and directions
for collectors of basketry.

In the list of publications on page 111 will be found the titles of
those papers published during the year which are based, directly or
indirectly, on the collections of the Museum. The list includes 246
titles, the number of authors represented being 90. The following
table shows the subjects to which these papers relate:

able task, since it includes many thousand labels, blanks, blank
books, letter heads, etc. The total number of forms under this
heading was 2,790 and the total number of items 355,413.

LIBRARY.

The library of the National Museum now includes 24,170 bound
volumes and 38,643 unbound papers. The additions during the
year consisted of 3,573 books, 3,048 pamphlets, and 563 parts of vol-
umes. There were catalogued 1,952 books, 3,755 pamphlets, and
12,216 parts of periodicals. The number of cards added to the
authors’ catalogue was 5,942, exclusive of 847 cards for books and
pamphlets recatalogued.

Fifteen sets of periodicals in which parts were missing were com-
pleted wholly or in part. The total number of volumes bound was
1,371, and by the close of the year several hundred additional vol-
umes had been made ready for the bindery.

The number of books, pamphlets, and periodicals borrowed from
the general library amounted to 40,400, including 9,192 which were
assigned to the sectional libraries.

One sectional library, consisting of works relating to physical
anthropology, has been added during the year, the list of these
libraries being now as follows:

Administration. Geology. Parasites.
Administrative assistant. History. Photography.
Anthropology. Insects. Physical anthropology.
Biology. Mammals. Prehistoric archeology.
Birds. Marine invertebrates. Reptiles.
Botany. Materia medica. Stratigraphic paleontology.
Children’s room. Mesozoic fossils. Superintendent.
Comparative anatomy. Mineralogy. Taxidermy.
Editor. Mollusks. Technology.
Ethnology. Oriental archeology.
Fishes. Paleobotany.

PHOTOGRAPHY.

In illustrating Museum objects, largely for reproduction in the
publications and in copying plans, diagrams, etc., required in con-
nection with the work of the Museum, there were made in the pho-
tographic laboratory during the year 1,771 negatives, 322 platinum
prints, 2,467 silver prints, 3,289 cyanotypes, 478 velox prints, 26_
bromide enlargements, and 103 lantern slides. The chief photog-
rapher, Mr. T. W. Smillie, has also supervised most of the photo-
graphic work for other bureaus of the Smithsonian, as well as for
the parent institution, a special assistant for this purpose being
employed under his direction. He was detailed in October, 1904,
to make the official photographs of the Smithsonian exhibits at the

Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and has continued, as in previous
years, to conduct the examinations in photography for the U. S.
Civil Service Commission. -

COOPERATION OF THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS.

The Museum has, as usual, received important assistance from
several of the Departments and bureaus of the Government. Its
relations to the United States Geological Survey, the Bureau of
Fisheries, the Biological Survey and Divisions of Entomology and
Botany of the Department of Agriculture, and the Bureau of Ameri-
can Ethnology, especially in regard to the transfer of collections,
have been referred to elsewhere.

Officers of the Army and Navy stationed in the new possessions
have made several valuable contributions, and the Army Medical
Museum has continued its cooperation in promoting the welfare of
the division of physical anthropology.

Special acknowledgments are due to the Quartermaster’s Depart-
ment of the Army for many courtesies in connection with the trans-
portation of specimens and outfits to and from distant points, and
to the Treasury Department for the prompt admission and _ ship-
ment to Washington of specimens received from abroad at several
of the customs-houses.

EXPOSITIONS.

Louisiana Purchase Exposition—The exhibits of the National
Museum for this exposition were prepared under the general direc-
tion of Dr. F. W. True, who represented the Smithsonian Institution
and the Museum on the Government Board. Dr. Marcus W. Lyon,
jr., Was appointed to assist him in the capacity of chief special agent.
The exhibits were classified under anthropology, biology, and geol-
ogy, and were assembled under the supervision of the head curators,
Prof. O. T. Mason, Doctor True, and Dr. George P. Merrill, respec-
tively. A brief description of them was given in the Smithsonian
Report for 1904. The exposition closed on December 2, 1904, and
the exhibits were returned to Washington early in 1905, with the
exception of those which it was decided to send to the Lewis and
Clark Exposition.

Lewis and Clark Exposition.—The bill providing for the celebra-
tion of the one hundredth anniversary of the exploration of the
Oregon country by Capts. Meriwether Lewis and William Clark
was approved on April 13, 1904, and the sum of $200,000 was appro-
priated for the expenses of a Government exhibit. The exposition
opened June 1, 1905, to run for a period of five and one-half months,
or until October 15, 1905. Doctor True and Doctor Lyon acted in
the same capacities as for the preceding exposition. The sum of

60 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

$12,000 and a rather small, but otherwise satisfactory, space in the
Government building were allotted for the exhibits of the Institu-
tion and Museum. These, in accordance with law, were selected as
far as possible from the collections displayed at St. Louis, but a few
other objects were added. Among the latter the most important
were skeletons of a Dodo, of a Great Auk, and of an adult Piked
Whale.

The largest objects in anthropology sent from St. Louis were four
of the models of ancient Mexican temples; and in geology, the res-
torations of the extinct reptiles Triceratops and Stegosaurus. From
the large game series the rhinoceros, lion, tiger, Norway elk, chamois,
mouflon, and Marco Polo’s sheep were selected for exhibition in
Portland. The collections of birds and minerals-were arranged in
wall cases, with light backgrounds, and presented an especially
attractive appearance.

The exhibits of the other bureaus of the Institution, and of the
Institution itself, were substantially the same as at St. Louis, though
the installation was necessarily modified to meet the requirements
of the more restricted space. In the case of the National Zoological
Park, however, the large aviary was abandoned, the work of the
bureau being illustrated by maps and photographs of the park and
of the cages and other enclosures for animals. The reproduction of
the children’s room was also omitted for lack of space.

INTERNATIONAL CONGRESSES.

At the Sixth International Zoological Congress, held in Berne,
Switzerland, from August 14 to 19, 1904, under the presidency of
Prof. Th. Studer, the National Museum was represented by Dr. Leon-
hard Stejneger, curator of reptiles and batrachians, Mr. Gerrit S.
Miller, jr., assistant curator of mammals, and Dr. C. W. Stiles, custo-
dian of the helminthological collections, all of whom were also dele-
gates on behalf of the United States Government. Doctor Stejneger
served as one of the vice-presidents at the second general session, and
Mr. Miller and Doctor Stiles in the same capacity at the fourth gen-
eral session. The total number of delegates from the United States
in attendance was 22, 6 of whom read papers, as follows: Prof. H. F.
Osborn, of the American Museum of Natural History, ‘‘ Ten years’
progress in the mammalian paleontology of North America” and
‘‘ Evolution of the horse—Recent discoveries and studies;’’ Prof. W.
B. Scott, of Princeton University, ‘‘ The mammalian fauna of the
Santa-Cruz beds of Patagonia;”’ Prof. J.C. Merriam, of the University
of California, “A new group of marine reptiles from the Triassic of
California;’’? Prof. Bashford Dean, of Columbia University, ‘“‘Some
embryological evidence as to the position of Chimera;’’ Dr. Charles

S. Minot, of the Harvard Medical School, ‘The changes in the animal
cell during rejuvenation and severance,” and Dr. R. G. Harrison, of
Johns Hopkins University, ‘‘ New investigations and observations on
the development of the peripheral nerves of vertebrates.”

Mr. William H. Holmes, chief of the Bureau of American Eth-
nology, besides visiting some of the principal European museums
in behalf of the National Museum, attended the Fourteenth Inter-
national Congress of Americanists at Stuttgart, Germany, from
August 18 to 23,1904, as the representative of the Museum and Insti-
tution and of the Government. Other official American delegates
were the Duc de Loubat, a patron of American archeological
research; Dr. Paul Haupt, of the National Museum and Johns Hop-
kins University; Dr. Franz Boas, of the American Museum of Natu-
ral History, and Rev. C. W. Currier, of the Catholic University of
America. A number of papers were read dealing with questions of
American history, ethnology, and archeology. Mr. Holmes presided
at a meeting of the Congress on August 20, and on the same day deliv-
ered an address on ‘‘Contributions of American archeology to the
science of man.’ Dr. Franz Boas read a paper on the ‘‘Influence of
the social foundation of the Kwakiutl Indians upon their culture;”’
and Rey. C. W. Currier one on ‘‘The Indian languages of the United
States.’ The Smithsonian Institution presented to the Congress,
through its representative, a set of 75 bound volumes relating mainly
to American archeology and ethnology, published by the Institution
and two of its bureaus—the National Museum and the Bureau of
American Ethnology—as well as a set of photographs of American
Indians, furnished jointly by the Bureau and the Museum.

Dr. Paul Haupt, associate in historic archeology, was a delegate of
the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum at the Second
International Congress for the General History of Religions, at Basle,
August 30 to September 2, 1904, and again at the Fourteenth Inter-
national Congress of Orientalists, held in Algiers during April,1905.
Dr. Cyrus Adler, of the Institution and Museum, acted as the repre-
sentative of the United States on the committee on organization for
the latter Congress.

The Institution, the Museum, and the Government were repre-
sented at the Second International Botanical Congress, held in Vienna,
Austria, from June 11 to 18, 1905, by Mr. Frederick V. Coville, curator
of the division of plants, Mr. William F. Wight, of the Department of
Agriculture, also being present as a delegate from the Museum.

Dr. Leonhard Stejneger attended, on behalf of the Institution and
Museum, the Fourth International Ornithological Congress at Lon-
don, from June 12 to 17, 1905, and will also act for the Institution at
the Convention on the International Catalogue of Scientific Litera-
ture to be held in London on July 25, 1905.

62 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1905.

The Institution was represented at the meeting of the International
Congress on Education, held in St. Louis, from June 28 to July 1, 1904,
by Dr. Marcus W. Lyon, jr., of the Museum staff.

ORGANIZATION AND STAFF.

Upon the completion of the new building, it is proposed to take
advantage of the additional space afforded to reorganize and place
upon a proper basis that branch of the Museum which is best compre-
hended under the title arts and industries. The Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, however, furnished such an exceptional opportunity for
obtaining material illustrative of mineral technology that a depart-
ment under this name was established in the autumn of 1904, in
order that the selection of specimens at St. Louis might be judiciously
supervised. Dr. Charles D. Walcott, Director of the U.S. Geological
Survey, has accepted the curatorship of this department.

Dr. Cyrus Adler has been made curator, and Dr. I. M. Casanowicz
assistant curator of historic archeology, and Dr. Paul Haupt, of
Johns Hopkins University, an associate in the same division.

Four other associates, this being an honorary title, were also desig-
nated during the year, as follows: In zoology, Dr. W. L. Abbott, of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; in botany, Capt. John Donnell Smith, of
Baltimore, Maryland; in mineralogy, the Rev. L. T. Chamberlain, of
New York City, and in paleobotany, Prof. Lester F. Ward, for many
years associate curator of the collection of fossil plants.

Dr. J. N. Rose has been advanced to associate curator in the divi-
sion of plants, and Mr. W. R. Maxon to assistant curator. Mr. J. H.
Painter was appointed aid in the same division, and Mr. Homer D.
House served in a like capacity during five months of the year.

Dr. James E. Benedict, assistant curator of the division of marine
invertebrates, has had direct charge of the exhibits in biology.

Mr. Herbert S. Barber was made an aid in the division of insects
to fill the vacancy caused by the transfer of Mr. R. P. Currie to the
Department of Agriculture, and Mr. B. H. Ransom has been
appointed assistant custodian of the helminthological collections.
The appointment in 1903-4 of Mr. C. A. McKnew as aid in the division
of fishes, and Mr. E. J. Horgan as aid in the section of birds’ eggs,
failed to receive mention in the last report.

Mr. Charles Schuchert, assistant curator of stratigraphic paleon-
tology, resigned during the year to accept the position of professor of
paleontology in Yale University, and was succeeded by Dr. Ray S.
Bassler, of the U. 8. Geological Survey. Mr. W. H. Newhall, aid in
the division of systematic and applied geology, died on May 21, 1905,
and his place has been temporarily filled by the appointment of Mr.
W. O. Snelling. Vacancies in the section of fossil vertebrates were
filled by the selection of Mr. James W. Gidley and Mr. Charles W.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 63

Gilmore as preparators, and of Mr. Norman H. Boss as assistant
preparator.

Mr. David White, of the U. S. Geological Survey, has been desig-
nated associate curator of paleobotany in the place of Prof. Lester F.
Ward, now an associate.

Dr. Frederick W. True, head curator of biology, was designated the
representative of the Smithsonian Institution and National Museum
on the Government Board for the Lewis and Clark Exposition at
Portland, Oregon, and Dr. Marcus W. Lyon, jr., chief special agent
in the same connection.

Mr. W. I. Adams, chief clerk of the Bureau of International
Exchanges, has been appointed disbursing agent of the Smithsonian
Institution for its several bureaus, including the National Museum.

Under the provisions of the act of Congress, approved March 3,
1905, prohibiting the employment of volunteers by the Government,
it has been necessary to discontinue the gratuitous services of Dr. T.
H. Bean as honorary curator of fishes and Dr. B. E. Fernow as hon-
orary curator of forestry, as these gentlemen are no longer connected
with the Government service. It may also be mentioned in this con-
nection that the title of ‘“honorary,” as applied to curators and sub-
ordinate positions on the scientific staff, has been discontinued as
superfluous, since hereafter all persons actively connected with the
staff, whether paid from the appropriation for the Museum or not, must
be in the employ of the Government. :

A list of the officers constituting the scientific and administrative
staff follows:

On Siluric and

Devonic Cystidea and Camarocrinus.

issue, 11, pt. 2, Nov. 4, 1904, pp. 201-272,
pls. 34-44, text, figs. 21-44.

This important article is by far the most
extensive paper on American Cystidea yet
published and is practically a monograph of
the Silurian and Devonian representatives of
this class. Notes on the occurrence of these
fossils, their preparation for study, and on
the geologic section at the chief locality, near
Keyser, W. Va., precedes the description of
genera and species. Under the class Carpoi-
dea the genus Anomalocystites and the two
species 4. cornutus and A.? disparilis are dis-
cussed and figured. The Cystoidea proper are
represented by 11 genera and 26 species, all of
which are described and figured in detail. Of
these, two genera, Vetracystis and Trime-
rocystis, are new, and 12 of the species are
described for the first time.

The article coneludes with a discussion of
the peculiar genus Camarocrinus in which
the author comes to the conclusion that
Camarocrinus ‘‘appears to be the float of an
unknown crinoid that was held together after
the death of the individual by the firmly inter-
locked double walls of the exterior and inte-
rior,while the crown and stalk dropped away...’
Three species and one new variety of Camaro-
crinus are described and figured. With the
exception of two or three specimens, all of the
material upon which this article is based is in
the collections of the U. 8S. National Museum.

As indicated by the title, this is a revision
of the Paleozoic trepostomatous Bryozoa, a
very abundant and important group of the
Paleozoic fossils. Two new divisions are
instituted for this order, namely, the Amal-
gamata and Integrata, based on the minute
structure of the zooecial walls. Whenever
necessary the old genera are redefined or
limited, while the following new genera are
proposed: Orbignyella, Cyphotrypa, Stigma-
tella, Rhombotrypa, Calloporina, and Ana-
phragma. In order to illustrate the generic
characters or to bring out new features other-

wise, 35 species are described or figured.

The seeds of Aneimites.
Smithsonian Misc. Colls., XLV, Quar.

pp. 322-331, pls. XLVI, XLVIII.

This paper contains descriptions and fig-
ures of a new type of seed— Wardia—found by
the author in organic connection with the
fronds of a new species of Aneimites (includ- |
ing Adiantites of author’s) described as A. |
fertilis. Associated with the seeds and frag-
ments of fronds, though not yet seen in actual |

~ union with the latter, are small fragments of
attenuated pedicils bearing very delicate,
minute, dichotomous appendages, at the
apices of which are thickened bodies re- |
garded as possible pollen-bearing organs of |
the Aneimites. Aneimites fertilis, which is
the third of the Paleozoic filicoid genera is
found to be seed-bearing and the second to be
discovered with seed and frond united, rep-
resents a type of frond not previously sus-
pected of being other than a fern which, in
fact, it exactly resembles. The discovery of
the seeds shows it to be very distinct from the
ferns and necessitates its reference to the
Cycadofilices or Pteridosperms, where it is
placed by the writer in an order designated
as the Lyginodendrales. The type-speci-
mens are contained in the collections of the
U.S. National Museum.

called the ‘‘Cycadofilices.’’ The fossils, con-
sisting for the most part of silicified stems
and petioles, exhibit structures combining
characters of ferns, gymnosperms, and more
particularly the Cycads. The aspect of the
frond and the details of the pinnules are es-
sentially in agreement with those of ferns.
The discovery recently of seeds in connection
with two of these plants led to the recognition
of the Cycadofilices as constituting a phylum
known as the Pteridospermaphyta, most of
the types being included in the Pteridosper-
mee. The writer suggests the additional
inclusion in the Pteridosperms of the genera
Triphyllopteris, Eremopteris, Mariopteris,
and most of the species included by Lesque-
reux in the genus Pseudopecopteris. The
Cycadofilices or Pteridosperms are regarded as
intermediate between ferns and cyeads, but
it is not urged that any of the fossil genera
included therein represent links in the lineal
descent of the modern Gymnosperms. On
account of the great abundance in the Car-
boniferous of Pteridospermic representatives
which, in fact, characterize it, it is suggested
that, instead of being called the epoch of
cryptograms, the Carboniferous be designated
the epoch of the Pteridosperms.

Notice of paleobotanical material collected
by Dr. I. C. White from two localities in the
states of Sao Paulo and Santa Catherina,
Brazil. The evidence presented by the plants
confirms the inclusion of southern Brazil in
the Indo-Australo-African or Glossopteris
province, and tends to fully corroborate the
conclusion reached by M. Zeiller that the Bra-
zilian coalfields are probably of latest Coal
Measures age, or possibly Permian, their
place being apparently in the Karharbari-
Newcastle stage.

The Perry formation, consisting of brownish
conglomerates, lying in irregular layers, un-
conformably upon earlier formations, isshown
by its fossil plants to be Upper Devonian age,
referable in all probability to the Chemung
stage. The belief in the existence of coal
in the formation, although maintained for
nearly seventy years, is not supported by the
geologic or paleontologic evidence, and there
is no basis for the hope of finding usable coal
in any of the concealed parts of the Perry
formation or the underlying rocks. Refer-
ence is made to several specimens in the Lacoe
collection as furnishing unpublished charac-
ters in species of Archzxopteris.

new genera T'riplewrocrinus and Tylocrinus
are instituted with 7. levis, new species, and T.

cies. Three new species of Megistocrinus are
described and figured, while remarks upon
known forms are given. Under the genus
Dolatocrinus two new species are described,
comments upon 16 other species of the genus
made, and the new name Dolatocrinus wachs-

being preoccupied. In addition, comments
upon 6 other genera and 7 species, notes upon
ealyx abnormalities, and a table showing the

— Note on Lucina (Miltha) children

Gray, and on a new species from the Gulf

of California.
Nautilus, xvu1, No. 10, Feb., 1905, pp.
110-112.
In this note it is shown that L. children is

a Brazilian species exclusively, and for the |
species of the Gulf of California, wrongly |

called childreni by Carpenter, the name of L. |

( Miltha) xantusi is proposed. The specimens
are in the National Museum.

fornia.

Nautilus, xvmi, No. 11, Mar., 1905, pp. |

123-125.

The following new species are described:
Leda amblia, Mangelia perattenuata, Admete
woodworthi, Erato albescens, and Scissurella
(Schizotrochus) kelseyi, all from California.
The specimens are in the National collection.

An arrangement of the American
Cyclostomatide with a revision of the

nomenclature.
Proc. Malacolog. Soc. London, v1, March,

The whole group is reviewed, diagnoses
given for the subdivisions, the subgenus Para-
chrondria is proposed for Cistula Sowerby,
not Say, and the genus Opisthosiphon for
Chondropoma bahamense Shuttleworth and
its allies. These are shown to have an acces-
sory opening to the whorl in the shape of a
small tube behind the posterior angle of. the
aperture. The material upon which the con-
clusions rest is in the National Museum.

plegmatum, C. northropi, C. oweni and varie-
ties reticulatum, incisum and vermiculum,
Rhytidopoma euploca, and Veronicella schive-
lye var. bahamensis. The new forms are
figured, numerous species added to the known
Bahaman fauna, and the habit of forming an
epiphragm by Planorbis during the dry sea-
son, is noted.

Note on the genus Aporema Dall.
Nautilus, xvi, No. 12, Apri!, 1905, p. 143.
Aporema proving to be preoccupied in In-
sects by Scudder, the new name Panacca is
proposed to take its place, with the same type
Pholadomya arata Verrill.

Note on Trichodina Ancey.
Nautilus, xvi, No. 12, April, 1905, p. 143.

proposed for the former.

Fossils of the Bahama Islands, with

a list of the nonmarine mollusks.

The Bahama Islands, New York (Mac-
millan & Co.), April, 1905, pp. 23-47; pls.
XI-XI1.

This paper, also issued separately, treats of
the fossils of the Bahamas collected by the ex-
pedition sent out by the Geographical Society
of Baltimore, giving a list of stations with the
fossils collected at each, descriptions of some
new landshells, fossil and recent, a catalogue
of the nonmarine fauna, fossil and living, a
list of the marine fossils obtained, and a short
account of the fauna of the “salt pans” or
lagoons. Some characteristic marine fossils
and the new species of landshells are figured.
The following are described as new: Cepolis
agassizii, C. inaguana var. subandrosi, C.
pharcida, Cerion eleuthere var. drupium,
Cepolis erumana, C. gregoriana, C. duclosi-
ana var. columbiana, and C.inaguana. Pha-
coides pensylvanicus L., Codakia orbicularis
L., Tellina radiata L., Arca occidentalis Phil-
ippi, A. reticulata Gmelin, Cerion agassizit
Dall, and Helicina rawsoni Pfeiffer, are also
figured.

Cotypes of the material described are in the
National Museum.

These changes are necessitated by the dis-
covery that several genera of Weber’s ‘‘No-
menclator entomologicus.”’ 1795, have been
ignored by subsequent authors. Alpheus
Weber and Ligia Weber are synonyms of
Cancer Linneus; Crangon Weber takes pre-
cedence of Alpheus Fabricius; Homarus Weber
may be used in its present sense, for the lob-
sters; Parthenope Weber is equivalent to the
later Lambrus of Leach; Daldorfia is proposed
as a new generic name for Parthenope Fabri-
cius; Euryala Weber= Corystes Latreille 1802;
Idotea Weber is a synonym of Emerita Grono-
vius.

The name Cichlops of Miiller and Troschel
(1849) is precluded from retention by the

Note on the genus Prionurus or
Acanthocauios.
Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xxvul1, No. 1385,

Oct. 5, 1904, p. 121.

A new name (Acanthocaulos) was proposed
by E. R.. Waite in place of Prionurus of
Lacépéde, supposed to have been first pro-
posed in 1830 and preoccupied by Prionurus
of Ehrenberg in 1829. It has been proved that
Lacépéde published his name as early as 1804.

In connection with a recent identification
of the ‘‘Bar’’ of the St. Lawrence with the
common striped bass (Roccus lineatus) it is
questioned whether it is not rather the Roccus
chrysops of the great lakes and interior
waters. More information is required.

After a notice of the views of previous
authors respecting the affinities of the Sand-
launces or Ammodytids, that family is
claimed to be most nearly related to the
Hemeroceetids, and consequently to the
group of Jugulares. Embolichthys is retained
in the family and Cobitopsis far removed.
The principal synonyms of the family are
enumerated, and the genera Ammodytes and
Hyperoplus maintained for the northern
forms.

Indications are given as to (1) the sources
of information, (2) the characteristics of the
family of Cottids and genus Myozxocephalus
as well as vernacular nomenclature, and (3)
the specific and sexual characters of the Myor-
ocephalus scorpio. The habits of the species
are considered in sections devoted to (4) the
localities it frequents, its food, and its utter-
ances, (5) the mutual relations of the sexes,
(6) its oviposition, and (7) its larval condi-
tions. The concluding section (8) briefly
notices the economical value of the fish.

The scorpeenoid fish,
Neosebastes entaris, as the type of a dis-
tinct genus.
Proc. U. S: Nat. Mus., xxviii, No. 1393;
Feb. 15, 1905, pp. 219, 220, text figs. 1, 2.
A Japanese Scorpenid having been referred
by Jordan & Starks to the genus Neosebastes,
a reexamination was made, which resulted in
a new definition of the genus and the separa-
tion from it of the NV. entaris as the type of a
new genus named Sebastosemus.

Prionotus stearnsti.
Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xxvil, No. 1396,
Feb. 15, 1905, pp. 339-342, text figs. 1-4.
An ‘“fexamination of various species of
Triglids’’ led to the recognition of two groups
which differed so much from the genus Pri-
onotus, to which they had been previously
referred, as to seem worthy of generic or sub-
generic distinction. One, typified by the
P. stearnsii, was named Colotrigla, and the
other, represented by the P. alatus, was
designated as Fissala.

Notes on the genera of synanceine

and pelorine fishes.
Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., xxviii, No. 1394,
Feb. 23, 1905, pp. 221-225, text fig. 1.

An examination of the Synanceine led to
the recognition of four genera whose proper
names were Synanceia (verrucosa), Erosa
(erosa), Leptosynanceia (astroblepa), and
Trachicephalus (uranoscopus); the Pelorinae

(newly named Inimicinz) were divided among |

Simopias and Inimicus; Simopias was pro-
posed as a substitute for Pelor (preoccupied).
In an appended Note on Scorpaena frondosa
that species is isolated as the type of a new
genus named Rhinopias.

briefly noticed; (2) the popular names and (3)
geographical range are then considered;
habits are described in sections devoted to (4)
the general behavior of the fish, (5) its food,
and (6) its oviposition and embryology.
Data follow respecting (7) its food value and
the superstitions concerning it, (8) its rela-

issue, vol. 3, pt. 1, No. 1576, May 13, 1905,
pp. 31-46, pl. 17-21.

The tarpon is considered as (1) a member of
the family of Elopids and (3) a species of the
genus Megalops contrasted with (2) the
species of the genus Elops; (4) the history of
the popular names is indicated; its habits are
noticed in sections devoted to (5) its range
and appearance on the American coast, (6)
its activity and food, (7) its breeding habits
and size, and (8) its economic position. In
conclusion, (9) a notice of the congeneric
ox-eye herring (Megalops cyprinoides) is
given.

The lady-fish, after a brief diagnosis of its
family (Albulids), is considered with refer-
ence to (1) its range, (2) its food and manner
of feeding, and (3) its early stages, from a
translucent larval condition to the acquisi-
tion of its mature characteristics. In a final
section (4) its value as a food and game fish is
adverted to.

The gisu, or Pterothrissus gisu of Japan, is
also briefly noticed.
