To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History: I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum for the year ending December 31, 1909. In the extension of its scientific operations into remote lands, and in the accumulation of material of great value from new fields consist the more important activities of the Museum for rg09. The expedition into Tibet, in the South Pacific Islands, and in the Philip- pines, and the acquisition of material by purchase from Egypt and German New Guinea, the Rothrock herbaria and library, and the collections made by subordinate Museum expeditions in Guatemala, British New Guinea, Bermuda, Fiji Islands, etc., have unitedly brought to the stores of the institution the most valuable material from every point of view that any year has recorded. This has been done without interference with the work of rearranging and labeling and recasing old material and the installation of new material in accordance with the plans for the occupation of the new building, inaugurated four years ago. In the introduction of new material to the exhibition series in all departments, and the consequent extension of geographical areas, scientific discrimination has resulted in con- siderable elimination of material in all departments, both because of space requirements and because of the transfer of apparent duplicates to the study collections, whereby the latter were rendered more complete in themselves without detracting from the interest of the exhibited collections, at least from a popular standpoint. In all the scientific departments increased storage facilities for duplicates and for exchange material have been provided and the spaces and systems for the accommodation of study material have been enlarged and improved. It will be observed too, that in response to the demands for reference books, necessary for the identification and description of material, the departmental libraries have had gratifying addi- tions. The capacity of the printing shop has been doubled to meet the requisitions for labels, the output of which this year has greatly increased. The generous appropriations for exhibition cases for all departments have hardly equaled the requirements, but the pro- Sie" 332 Fiseco Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vou. vision made has resulted in a noticeable improvement in the phy appearance of the exhibition halls throughout the buildiag r especially in the Departments of Botany and Geology, ne, . present as near an appearance of completeness as it is d | possible for an active Museum to attain. In the publications of the Museum for the year, C Birds of Illinois and Wisconsin” has attracted much favora gratifying criticism, while the descriptive catalogue, by te of the collection of reproductions of the bronzes in the Naples Mi selected by Mr. Edward E. Ayer, constitutes by general ¢ valuable contribution to the literature of classical archmology.”) The murder of Dr. William Jones of the Department ¢ thropology, while on an expedition for the Museum amor Ilongots of the Philippine Islands, was a shock to his ¢ the Museum, no greater, however, than it was to his comp to student ethnologists throughout the world. Dr. Jones young man of the very best attainments in his chosen field, 1 death came while performing service fully as patriotic and high purpose as that actuating any man whose career has had 1 tra close. The Museum has just learned of the intended returm Assistant Curator S. C. Simms, who visited the scene of Dr. Jo last-Wwork and has secured the material and notes gathered br and caused a suitable monument, funds for which were pri provided, to be erected at the spot where the body of Dr. Jones buried. The Trustees have caused a bronze memorial tablet de by Theodore Lescher to be cast for insertion in the wall surrot the Philippine collection in the Museum. = The engagement of Curator Dorsey to prepare a series of ar on the ethnology and sociology of the Old World for public the Chicago Tribune, while depriving the Museum for a time important service of a much valued member of the scientific nevertheless so closely allied with the purposes and possibili the Department of Anthropology, that the arrangement mi said to enlarge its scope. The letters thus far published have ttr . wide attention and there can be no doubt of the importance ad t contribution to the knowledge of those concerned in the sc conditions of the world and those specially interested in the f changing intellectual and moral averages of the United § reason of the introduction into its body politic of the ae going the capable scrutiny of Dr. Dorsey. Among other chang the staff is the acceptance by Mr. Wilfred H. Osgood of an appoir | was i 4 FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. REPORTS, PLATE XLV. The Late Doctor William Jones. Taz LMRARY OF Tit UNIVERSITY JAN., IQIo. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. RE8 ment to the Assistant Curatorship of Mammalogy and Ornithology. Mr. Osgood brings to the Department of Zodlogy an established reputation of high order. He isa scholar, an author, and an educator. His better known labors have been with the mammals of the North- west Coast, and he is an acknowledged authority among the younger group of mammalogists. He is at present in London working up the Museum African material, in which it is believed a number of new types will be found. Prof. B. E. Dahlgren, the well known modeler in wax and glass, especially assigned to the Department of Botany, is an acquisition of importance. A number of striking pieces result- ing from the art, skill, and scientific knowledge of Prof. Dahlgren have already been placed on exhibition in the Botanical gallery. One or more minor resignations have been offered in the scientific departments, capable men accepting advancement to higher positions in other institutions. The creation by the Board of Trustees of an Administration Committee to which was assigned some of the duties theretofore imposed upon the Executive Committee, and the monthly meetings of this new Committee at the Museum, has been of distinct advantage in the more prompt consideration of important questions by the corporation authorities. The President (Sefior Don Manuel Estrada Cabrera) of the Republic of Guatemala requested the United States Bureau of Fish- eries to recommend some person to make a survey of Lakes Amatitlan and Atitlan, for the purpose of determining whether and how the quantity and quality of the food and game fishes of those lakes could be increased. Assistant Curator Meek was recommended, because of his knowledge of and interest in Tropical fresh-water fishes. The survey was made by Dr. Meek while on a Museum expedition to Central America. The scientific result of this survey was recorded in a publication of the Museum, Vol. VII, pages 159 to 206. Three other Museum publications with a total of 75 pages resulted from this expedition. By consent of President Higinbotham of the World’s Columbian Exposition, the collection of sketch models loaned to the Museum by the World’s Fair of 1893, which have been on exhibition in the Rotunda since 1894, were presented to the West Chicago Park Commissioners for exhibition in the public parks of the city, excepting a few pieces selected by and presented to the Art Institute. A number of these models have been installed in Garfield Park, and add a dis- tinct note of artistic culture to the grounds. 334 Fietp Museum or Natrurat History — Reports, Vor. IIL. Mantenance.— The Annual Budget authorized by the Board of Trustees provided the sum of $174,290 for the maintenance of the Museum for the fiscal year. The actual amount expended $145,512, leaving a balance within the anticipated expense for the of $28,778. In addition to the cost of maintenance, sums . expended for collections and new installation, expeditions, ete., that brought the total to $198,472. As will be observed from the details of the financial statement, the total sum of $21,163, in indi contributions has also been disbursed for special collections ; expeditions. Lecture Course. The Spring and Autumn Lecture comprising course number thirty in March and April and ¢ number thirty-one in October and November, seventeen lectures in’ all, had the same gratifying attendance that has now become custom. There have been few lectures when the demands for mission have not exceeded the capacity of the hall, and in no c has the attendance been unsatisfactory. y Following is the Thirtieth Free Lecture Course, with the subjects and lecturers, delivered during the months of March and April, 1909: March 6.— “The R.

The latter includes carved posts, large carved canoes, and two rare dance masks from Hansa Bay, the larger one more than 16 feet in height. These valuable acquisitions were the gift of Mr. Joseph N. Field of Man- chester, England. The material obtained by Mr. Ayer last year but not prepared for exhibition until last Spring consisted of 18 strings of beads, composed of carnelian, glass, and glazed earthenware; 18 mortuary stone vases and jars of great beauty and value, among which is a beautiful alabaster vase for ointment; 49 weights of a wide range of sizes, made of stone and copper; a mirror and bottle, each of bronze; 16 stone statuettes, some in a more or less fragmentary condition, among which is a beautiful figure of Osiris and also a fine red stone statue of the twelfth dynasty (inscribed ‘‘His father Teta, His mother Nefertari’’); 4 mortuary cloths (in frames upon the east wall of Hall 9); 1 coffin lid of wood; 8 coffin lids of s.one, all somewhat fragmentary, with one exception; a large, inscribed brick; 4 burnt clay mortuary offerings; 2 wooden mortuary boxes; 2 small mortuary figures of wood, one containing a rectangular cavity for receiving a papyrus; a mummied hawk; 2 mummied antelopes; 342 Freco Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. IL the head of a mummy, a mummy and a rectangular coffin. Ti addition to several wood carvings and stone tablets there are c casts of 27 stones in Hatshepsa Temple, representing the pro n of the Sacred Boat. Of very special interest is a small wax figure, of the Ptolemaic Period, in the form of Osiris, Lord of Bekha (th Eastern Mountain), found at Tehneh, Province of Mirich, Upp Egypt. Within it is the mummy of a falcon. With the figure a images of 4 genii, along with cakes of an undetermined substar A portion of this accession consisted of a small group of cin vessels from Etruria and ancient Roman bronze vessels, now if stalled in the North Court. The two large Mastaba tombs, ex- cavated under the direction of Mr. Edward E. Ayer at the Necropolis of Sakara, one of them being the gift of Mr. Martin A. Ryerson, re ferred to in the 1908 report as anticipated accessions, were recei at the Museum the past year and given storage in a special t room constructed at the east unused entrance of the Museum, a as it was not considered advisable to erect the tombs in the present b ing. The tombs filled 206 large cases, some of them ten feet in length the total shipment weighing 96 tons; the installation of one of th stele in Egyptian Hall is referred to in another part of this Among gifts from Mr. Edward E. Ayer were two rare, carved woode images from New Ireland. Mr. R. F. Cummings gave a small yan collection, made by Dr. Fletcher Gardner, Bloomington, Indi while serving as a surgeon in Mindoro. This accession is owing to the extreme scarcity of cave material in the Philippi about 50 specimens of the lot coming from the burial cave of Pok midway between the towns of Bulalacao and Mansalay in South Mindoro. Other interesting gifts were 8 paintings of Hopi Ind by E. W. Burbank, presented by Mr. Stanley McCormick, unique woven garment, ornamented with tufts of human hair, foun in an old mission of Lower California by Mr. W. H. Dupee of Chie and by him given to the Museum. Of the important and intere accessions by purchase, were an Egyptian sarcophagus of collection of Kabyle (Algiers) jewelry, and several Assanian } Babylonian seals collected by Mr. Ayer. Mention should be r of a small accession from Angola, West Central Africa, which f a valuable addition to the Woodside-Ovimbundu collection. The most conspicuous addition to the herbarium during i ye is that of the personal herbarium and library of Dr. J. T. ar who, as a member of several of the early surveys of the West, nol amassed large and valuable collections himself, but through his a “a JAN., I9Io. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 343 ciation with Dr. Asa Gray, Dr. George Thurber, Dr. John Torrey and other early botanists, was able to secure many rare plants and sets of plants. His herbarium consists of nearly 25,000 sheets, largely from the west, north and southwest, Mexico and Florida. It con- tains long series of the plants of Bean, Berlandier, Bigelow, Bischoff, Bolander, Brendel, Burk, Canby, Chapman, Clinton, Curtiss, Garber, Ghiesbright, Hall and Harbour, Sutton Hayes, Kellogg, Kenney, Lemon, Leow, Mann, John Stuart Mill, Palmer, Parry and Palmer, Pope, Porter, Pringle, Regel, Reverchon, Thurber, Vasey, Ward, Wolf, and Wright. This herbarium comprises collections made principally from 1840 to 1880, thus directly supplementing that of Patterson, secured by the Museum some years ago, which dates from 1880 to 1900. The Rothrock herbarium is mostly mounted and 6,000 sheets have already been put through and placed in the organized herbarium of the Museum. The other notable herbaria now in- corporated with that of the Museum are those of Dr. Arthur Schott, M: S. Bebb, H. N. Patterson, C. F. Millspaugh, A. A. Heller, John K. Small, L. J. Wahlstedt, A. S. Hitchcock, and the University of Chicago. Other series secured to the herbarium this year are: Clemens, Philip- pine, 1,150; Bloomer, Arizona, 900; von Tuerckheim, Guatemala, 406; Conzatti, Mexico, 185; Purpus, Mexico, 523; C. R.

The collection was made by her band, the late Mr. Austrian, during the early days of copper nin in the Lake Superior region and hence contains many specin no longer procurable. From F. Pereira Gamba were receiv specimens of gold ores and associated rocks of Colombia; from Nipj Toki Gomei Kwaisha 12 specimens of clays and other minerals w in the manufacture of Japanese porcelains; from L. V. Kenks large photograph, 5 feet in length, of the Miles glacier, and photographs of Alaska; from President John Goff 45 specime fossil echinoids from Mississippi; and from W. W.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 347 the Geological Survey of India, and from Grebel, Wendler & Co., a specimen of the Buschhof meteorite and ten specimens of minerals. Important material obtained by purchase included an unusually complete mastodon skull from Yorkville, Illinois, and a nearly com- plete skeleton of the rare fossil beaver-like animal Castoroides ohioensis from Indiana. A large slab 31% square feet in area showing over 200 calices of the fossil crinoid Uintacrinus from Kansas and a series of well-preserved crinoids from the Kinderhook group of Le Grand, Iowa, were also obtained by purchase. Accessions by collection include several hundred specimen fossils of Bermuda; about 200 specimens of ores and minerals of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, obtained from exhibitors at the Seattle Exposition; 76 specimens of fossils, ores and minerals from Oklahoma and nearly 3,000 specimens of invertebrate fossils from Wilmington, Illinois, and adjoining localities. The acquisitions during the year in the Department of Zodlogy were extensive and important, comprising 122 mammals, 1,170 bird skins, 300 eggs, 4,989 specimens of fishes, and 201 reptiles. An interesting and important collection of mammals and birds was obtained through the kind offices of Mr. Rodway of the Georgetown Museum, British Guiana. Mr. Rodway’s interest in the Museum is gratifying and highly appreciated. Approximately 1,300 of the fishes were collected on the Florida Keys by Assistant Curator Meek; 30 specimens were collected in Venezuela by Mr. J. F. Ferry, and the remainder from near Chicago by Mr. Hildebrand. A large collection of mostly fresh-water fishes was purchased from Mr. Woolman. The collection contains many rare species from the Southern States and from Mexico. Of the reptiles, 71 important ones were collected on the islands near Venezuela by Mr. Ferry, and the next in importance were secured through exchange from Mr. Hunter of St. Louis. The acquisitions in the Division of Entomology consisted mainly of small lots of insects, mostly of local species, though by purchase 163 specimens were obtained from Charles Weber, who collected them on the island of Palawan, Philippine Islands. EXPEDITION AND FIELD Work.— One of the most important expedi- tions of the year has been that of Assistant Curator Simms in continuation of the survey of the Philippine Islands, the funds for which are provided by Mr. Robert F. Cummings. On his arrival at Manila Mr. Simms proceeded to the Cagayan valley with the object of assembling the material collected by Dr. Jones and arranging for its dispatch to Manila. Dr. Jones, having made an exhaustive study 348 Fieco Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. III of the Ilongots of Dumabatu, Tamsi, Alicad, and Cagadyangan, and having assembled his collections at Dumabatu, was preparing to ra them to Echaque, when he was killed by natives. The following re port from Assistant Curator Simms, dated November 26, 1909, fre Tagudin, Mt. Province, is of interest: “I have the pleasure to that my stay in the Ifugao territory (where I journeyed after cc pleting my work in connection with the affairs of the late Dr. Jor was one of success, having collected more than a thousand specime! forming a typical and comprehensive collection from this interesting people, who, up to the time of making this collection were but poorl represented in the Museum. In this collection there is a full size typical house, also forges, models, objects in progress of manufacture, etc. My next scene of investigation and collecting was among the Igorot of the sub-province of Amburayan — principally at and immediate vicinity. From this little known area I made collection of several hundred specimens which greatly increase the value of an already large and valuable collection of Igorot mate by the filling in of a previously existing gap. I sincerely hope get my material shipped soon, that it may reach Chicago the f of the coming year.”” The collections of Dr. Jones and i Curator Simms are now in transit from Manila. Dr. Berthold continued his ethnological survey of Tibet under the Blackstone Early in May, Assistant Curator Lewis left for New Guinea and t adjacent islands, beginning the three years survey under the Jo N. Field South Pacific Islands Fund. After a brief stay in Hawaii } h proceeded to the Fiji islands, where he was able to secure a fairly cc prehensive collection, comprising about 70 type specimens, b mats, posts, fishing outfits, etc., in various stages of completion. Fiji Mr. Lewis journeyed to Sydney, Australia, and from thence to Her bertshohe, Bismark Archipelago. From here, without delay, he se out upon a trip along the coast of German New Guinea, from Huo Gulf to Berlin Hafen, with the intention of returning to the forme locality to begin work. Early in October Mr. Cole returned to thi Philippines on his second R. F. Cummings’ Expedition, to investigations among the wild tribes of the southern islands. H will first work among the Mangyans of Mindoro, a Malayan trib having a written language quite different from that used by otk Malayan people. After visiting certain sections of Palawan he wi go to Negros for a somewhat lengthy sojourn. Upon completic this work he will go to Mindanao for an extended stay among f tribes found toward the interior of that island. JAN., Igio. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 349 Three field trips in the interest of the Department of Botany have been successfully made during the year. The herbarium staff spent a week among the sandstone outcrops of the Starved Rock region, not only to assure a representation of the plants of that inter- esting locality in the herbarium, but to secure valuable exchange material. This trip resulted in 183 specimens, and 11 sets of speci- mens for exchange with other herbaria. Mr. R. A. Dixon, one of the preparators of the department, made a like trip to Madison, Mont- gomery, and Walther counties, Texas, securing 189 specimens for the herbarium and 575 specimens for exchange. Mr. Huron Smith, Dendrologist, made his field base this year in the mountains of West Virginia and Northern Georgia where he collected 149 tree specimens, I1o negatives of trees, 250 herbarium specimens of trees, 592 speci- mens of various plants for the general herbarium, and 1,342 specimens for exchange. Mr. B. E. Dahlgren made a trip to Jamaica in Febru- ary and March to secure studies, and specimens of tropic fruits for reproduction. From this expedition he returned 117 specimens, molds, and mounts together with a long series of water-color studies of living plants and fruits in situ. In his work on the island he was generously accorded accommodations at the Hope Botanical Gardens at Kingston and material assistance by the Director, Mr. H. H. Cousins, Mr. William Harris, and other members of the staff. - In March a trip was made to the Bermuda Islands by the Curator of Geology and full series obtained illustrative of the coral and zolian limestones, cave products, soils and erosion forms of these islands. Of the latter forms, two large potholes nearly two feet in depth collected were especially important in illustrating these peculiar formations. Specimens of the fossil shells and corals of the islands were obtained in large number and about 60 photographs made, illus- trating various geographic features but more especially the variations in elevation and subsidence of the islands. The Alaska-Yukon-Pa- cific Exposition at Seattle was visited near its close by the Curator and a considerable quantity of valuable material illustrative of the ores and minerals of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest obtained from exhibitors there. Among the material obtained was a number of pay gravels from placer mines of Alaska, low grade gold ores of Alaska, copper ores, including those of native copper, from the Copper River district, tin and tungsten ores from Teller, Alaska, showing associa- tions like those of the Cornwall region, specimens illustrating the coals of Alaska, including anthracite and natural coke, sulphur and antimony ores from Alaska, representative ores from the mines of 3so.

Hood and a specimen of the new mineral hulsii Some excellent Cretaceous fossils of unique form of preservation at including a new nautiloid species were also obtained. On the trip the asphalt fossil beds near Los Angeles, California, and the Canyon of Arizona were visited and valuable specimens collected a photographs made. A brief trip to Southern Oklahoma was m by the Assistant Curator from which ores, fossils, and other geo material of the territory were obtained. The ores secured chiefly of iron and manganese and illustrative of the gradations these ores and the replacement of limestone by iron. Good specim of glass sand were also obtained. The fossils obtained were chie bryozoa and brachiopods. In addition, specimens of calcareous siliceous odlites were collected and some field studies made regare the origin of the latter. The Assistant Curator of Inverteb Paleontology continued during the year the work of collecting vertebrate fossils in the Chicago area and at Wilmington, [lis In the Chicago area over 500 specimens of Niagara age were collce chiefly crinoids, sponges, and corals. Several of the crine ds nished additional illustrations of the new species recently describe the Assistant Curator and some new forms were obtained. Se hundred Pleistocene shells were also collected in the area. mington over 2,000 specimens of Richmond age were obtained, } all of which are new to the collections. These include representat of about 20 species of Brachiopods, several species each of Pelec and Cephalopods, and 35 species of Bryozoans. ae During January, February and March, Mr. John F.

In addition much information of value in the study of migration, variation, and geographic distribu- tion was secured. In May, June, and July Mr. Ferry again took the field and worked in the vicinity of Prince Albert and Quill Lake, Saskatchewan, where he secured 195 birds, 22 mammals, 36 sets of birds’ eggs with nests, and a large amount of accessory material for the preparation of exhibition groups of the water birds which breed in this region. Later a second expedition to the same locality was undertaken by Mr. Ferry, accompanied by Mr. L. L. Pray, to procure a series of pelicans and additional accessory material, which proved successful. In the early part of December, Mr. C. A. Corwin, Artist, and Mr. L. L. Pray, Taxidermist, spent two weeks in northern Louts- iana, securing sketches and accessories for bird groups in course of preparation. During March, April, and May, Assistant Curator Meek and Mr. Heim visited Key West and Dry Tortugas, Florida, for the purpose of collecting fishes and accessory material for fish groups, as well as making studies for the same. On this expedition 1,300 alcoholic specimens together with 4oo fish skins were secured, rep- resenting 50 species. There was also collected a large quantity of sea ferns, sea feathers, sponges, corals, starfish, sea urchins and other material for accessory work. Of the 400 fish skins about 200 were preserved in brine, 175 are mounted but not finished, and 25 are mount- ed, ready for exhibition. Over 1,500 entomological specimens were collected by the Assistant Curator of the division on a trip made in the late summer to the southern part of Illinois. Among the insects obtained were a number of interesting species which are not found in the northern section of the State, where most of the field work has been done in the past. Asa result of a trip made by Mr. Freisser to Northern Mexico, over 200 very desirable insects were obtained from that section.

Cummings’ Philippine Expedi chiefly among the Tinguian, Apayao, and Kalinga tribes, | been installed in new cases entirely, filling Hall 41 and partially fi Hall 57, with the exception of two cases. Hall 41 is entirely occuy with material from the Tinguian tribe. This comprehensive ex consists of basketry, matting, a case fully illustrating the mi facture of textiles, blanketry, women's costumes, men’s dress : accessories, medicine and foods, toys and musical instruments, ing paraphernalia. Two Tinguian groups are about completec Hall 41. A life-size forge group of five figures, illustrates the m. facture of head axes and spears. A miniature village group, to scale by Dumagat, a native boy, consists of house mode granary, balaua, spirit houses, rice seed-beds, and accompany accessories. About thirty figures of the natives at their daily t will lend added interest to this case. Two cases of Kalinga-Tingu Igorot material from the Saltan River Valley and from the Tingu a JAN., gro. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 353 Apayao-Kalinga people of the Tineg River Valley complete the quota of 21 cases filling this Hall. In Hall 57 are already installed two additional cases of Kalinga-Tinguian-Igorot ethnological specimens from the Saltan River Valley; two cases of Kalinga material, one case each of Batak and Tagbanua ethnological material from Palawan. Over 200 photographs, along with new maps, have been placed in these cases to further illustrate the use of objects shown. In this Hall there yet remain to be installed two cases of Batak material and three of Apayao, for which cases are still lacking. 17 New Guinea house posts have been placed in the coves of Hall 58. In Hall 53 two cases of ethnological specimens, comprising basketry, weapons, house posts, drums, carved figures, a wooden bed, shell money, etc., from New Ireland and close-by islands, have been temporarily installed. This material, except a small quantity from the Parkinson collection, was gathered by the Curator of the Department during his hurried trip around the worldin 1g08. From the hall ceiling were suspended boats, outrigger canoes, from the Solomon Islands, New Guinea and New Britain, and a surf raft from the Solomon Islands. Upon the east and west walls were fastened ceremonial house carvings from New Guinea, a portion of the Voogdt collection, presented by Mr. Joseph N. Field. Here also have been installed two dance masks, the larger over 16 feet in height, from Hansa Bay, German New Guinea. These masks are rare since they are usually destroyed after having served the temporary purpose for which they were made. In Hall 37 has been installed a case of material from Sumatra and one from Java, consisting of material collected by the Curator during his recent visit to these islands. A case of Java ethnology stands in Hall 39 and two cases of the same material yet remain to be installed upon the arrival of the con- signment of new cases. Here also is a case of Apache-Yuma and Havasupai ethnology. In the south cove of Hall 38 have been placed temporarily four Philippine spirit houses collected by Mr. Cole on the second R. F. Cummings’ Expedition. On the wall of the cove are four large rice planters from the Island of Cuyo. In the center of the Hall stand temporarily three cases of Apache material, con- sisting of two cases of Medicine Dance paraphernalia, and one case of painted buckskins, implements of the chase, various household uten- sils, tools used in tanning, etc. Some confusion of installation exists in Halls 37, 38, and 39, leading to the east annex, owing to the temporary use of Hall 7 by Zodlogy. As soon as it is released to Anthropology this condition will be improved by the installation of the collections originally designed for this hall. In Hall. 3s4.

Three cases ¥ be required to complete the installation of the Apache material. 7 the south end of the Hall have been installed the Navaho exhibi largely the gift of Mr. Ayer, and consisting chiefly of blankets a splendid lot of old Navaho basketry. A case of old Tlingit a has been installed in Alcove rrr. Owing to the crowded condit of the Egyptian Hall, the installation there of the sarcophagus @ large false doorway, recently secured by Mr. Ayer, made consider rearrangement necessary. Case 41, Alcove 123, has been — arranged. In Hall 40 a rearrangement of five cases was renc¢ necessary through the addition of certain material procured by i Cole in Northern Luzon. The cases of the North Court have bee felted anew and provided with suitable screws, rendering them moi nearly dust proof than before. The economic botanical collections have received the add of 21§ specimens of more than ordinary interest. The progress. installation in the Department of Botany has far exceeded that any previous year. The entire west galleries have been comp through the installation of 40 cases, and 42 have been comp) labeled. The large and valuable drendrologic series from Par has been resawed, redressed, and installed with bark and approximation, in 7 highly interesting cases; the 39 principal of the Island of Trinidad occupy a half case brilliant and attra in color, these with 41 species of woods from British Guiana, compl the case; another case sets forth 7o species of Colombian another, 161 species of the woods of Venezuela, the latter a very ef plete and carefully identified series. The dendrologic collectic with two cases of more than ordinary interest; one of these cont an enlarged model showing the structure of wood; the other a le series of specimens illustrating the manner and results of governm timber tests. The unique and highly attractive display of woods the Department now comprises 45 complete cases fully and dese tively labeled. To the systematic display in economic botany, cases have been added during the year; one of these illustrates” plants of the Bible, the labels presenting relative quotations ¢ cerning each; another is devoted to tea in its various forms, es, characters; another contains 9 small families of plants, the s poke weeds, sandal-woods, waterlilies, buttercups, pinks andl JAN., Igr0.

A case illustrates the wood chip industry of Japan together with a long series of interesting and comparative coniferous fruits from the Orient, Australia, and the tropics. A case of Coontie starch plants with their interesting cone-like flowers and fruits; and the cattail flags and objects of their utilization. An additional case in the grass family shows the utiliza- tion of grass fibres in cordage and basketry, and the roots in dyeing. Two and a half further cases, illustrating the palms, bring the repre- sentation of this utilitarian family up to 14 cases. An additional case of the oaks, walnuts, and birches has been added, and another to the representation of the mulberry family, containing the interesting tapa cloth, letter-wood, fustic, and other products. A highly in- teresting case of the breadfruit family with its rubber gum, nuts, and meal. A case illustrating the magnolia, custard apple, witch- hazel and sycamore families with their instructive fruits, woods, and other products. Four cases in the bean family have been added to the four previously on exhibition, the four new ones include the woods, fibres, fruits, seeds, gums, and dyeing and tanning barks pro- duced by this valuable family. The mahogany family now occupies a case of high interest as do also the orange family, the spurge family, and the soapworts. The buckthorns and vines yield a highly instruc- tive exhibit of products with the tea family occupying a part of the same case. The gutta-percha family with its rubbers, gums, and resins, and the passion flowers and lace-barks completes another in- stallation. The cacti, pomegranates, and mangroves fill another case, and the interesting and curious monkey-pot family with that of the clove and allspice another. The family of the parsleys yielding many odorous fruits such as the cumin, anise, angelica, caraway, and the ill-smelling gums asafoetida and angelica, is now well represented. The black gum, azalea, dogwood, and ebony families, producing many valuable products, and the sapodilla family, of chewing gum notoriety are fully exploited. The morning glory family, with the milkweeds, complete another interesting case; the mint family, and that of the sesames, another. The madder family with its coffee, dyes, and tans, and the potato family with many common food examples, complete the economic installation of the year. The plans of the Curator of Botany have been, from the first, to combine both taxonomic and economic characteristics in the cases devoted to systematic botanical installation. Up tothe present year the absence of a capable reproductionist upon the staff of the department has necessitated installation of economic material only; now, how- CT a 356 Freco Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. TIL ever, a Modeler’s section has been equipped and placed in ch of Dr. B. E. Dahlgren, a capable scientific artist, and the of his work in reproduction are .finding places in the families. The case devoted to the breadfruit family, i in this Report, clearly indicates the proposed plan of i tion. In this case the maternal illustrates the family and products as follows: A life-size reproduction of the end of leafy, flowering, and fruiting branch of the breadfruit (A incisa) shows the leaf-form and characters; the disposition — characteristics of the flowers, and the immature and fruit in exact relation; with this are two enlargements nature exemplifying the intimate structure and character of | flowers, both male and female, the more delicate features of hi are reproduced in glass to insure stability and permanence in th reproductions; in close association is a natural sized ripe fruit, show in section, to illustrate both the developed ovary and the pecul of the fruit itself. These four reproductions together exemplify a the botanical characters that distinguish the family and unite genera and species in intimate relationship. Another similar 1 stallation has been completed illustrating the chocolate family; this a chocolate tree (Theobroma cacao) is represented in full fruit a leaf, an enlarged model depicts the peculiar flower in botanic de and a third the ripe fruit with its seeds (chocolate beans) invest their natural coating of mucilaginous tissue. Several other models now well under way will soon add deep and renewed ii to cases already installed with products only. No Museum hell before attempted such comprehensive educational intellee the result in interesting the public in plant life is already bein A rearrangement of the two easterly herbarium rooms peca necessary in order to better arrange the departmental librar accommodate the increase of books obtained through the f accession. The herbarium cases in the northeast room were to the southeastern to replace the books therein. The entire the former room are now in book shelves the content of which r a creditable beginning of a botanical library. The subject, auth je species card indices have been kept up to date and the accessib and utility of the library notably increased. The herbarium W has progressed satisfactorily during the year, though there is sti large part of the Wahlstedt, Rothrock, and University of Chi herbaria awaiting the organization that will render the specim integral part of the Museum herbarium. 4 - JAN., I9QIo. ANNUAL ReEporRT OF THE DIRECTOR. B57, In Higinbotham Hall the series of gold nuggets and crystallized gold was moved to one of the floor cases and mounted and labeled in accordance with the method employed for the general gem collection. Unlabeled specimens of the gem collection were supplied with labels to the number of about sixty. In Hall 36 the large slab of Uinta- crinus acquired during the year and shown in Plate LII was placed on exhibition. The preparation of this slab for exhibition involved considerable labor as the slab had been imperfectly mounted when received and was unsafe for exhibition without further treatment. In order to prepare it for exhibition and make a firm and durable mount, the surface designed for exhibition was covered with tissue and a thick covering of plaster poured over it. The slab was then re- versed and the plaster previously forming the bed carefully removed from the rear side. A thick bed of plaster was provided for this side and a heavy and durable framework placed around it. The plaster was then removed from the front side and the whole framed in heavy plate glass. In Hall 59 a fine mastodon skull from Yorkville, Illinois, has been installed in place of the large cast of Elephas ganesa. Some needful repairs were made upon the mastodon skeleton in the same Hall.

A habitat group of antelopes (Antelocapra americana) has been begun and in November Mr. Julius Friesser visited northern Mexico securing the necessary accessory material. Owing to the generosity of Mr. Stanley Field, who provided the necessary funds, four large habitat groups of birds have been begun and bid fair to excel any work of the kind which has been undertaken. These groups will show the following North American species under natural conditions: 1, California condors (scene, mountains of Southern California); 2, wild turkeys (scene, forest of Northern Louisiana); 3, white pelecans, cormorants, gulls, etc. (scene, breeding grounds, Quill Lake, Saskatchewan region, Canada); 4, wild geese, ducks, terns, etc. (scene, breeding grounds, vicinity of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada). In this connec- tion the services of Mr. C. A. Corwin have been secured to prepare the painted backgrounds. Ten large mammals have been added to the systematic series of mounted mammals during the year. These include 2 glacier bears, 1 Stone’s caribou 1, mountain goat, 2 Alaska wolves, 1 wolverene, and 2 Alaska lynx. About 80 small and medium-sized birds have been finished and placed on exhibition. A collection of photographs of living animals intended especially for use of the taxidermists has been begun and proves most valuable. One fish case containing 4 groups of fresh-water fishes and 36 jars of fishes in formaldehyde have been installed. One python has been mounted, and a large alligator has been installed in the exhibition rooms. In progress of preparation is a case 6 x 12 feet to contain 6 groups of tropical fishes, each group with a glass front 3 x 6 feet; below these groups, occupying the entire floor of the case, is being installed a group consisting of a large tiger shark and her 44 young. Much attention has been given during the past year to the collection of local insects, with a view to installing an exhibition collection representing the insect fauna of the State. For several years it has not been possible to prepare the specimens as rapidly as they were received, with the result that a large amount of material has ac- cumulated which has not been pinned. It was to the preparation of these insects that more time was devoted than to any other work, by the Assistant Curator. Owing to facilities for degreasing skulls and skeletons, which were secured through the courtesy of Mr. William Warwick, Superintendent of the Standard Oil Company plant at Whiting, Indiana, who placed a building at the disposal of the Museum for that purpose, 43 skeletons and skulls were degreased. 364 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vou. 1.
