ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 1916 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, 1916. The year has been profitable in accessions of material notwith- standing there have been no expeditions or field work except of a local and unimportant character. More or less confusion is observable throughout the Museum by reason of the prosecution of the large work of installing new material and re-installing old material and selecting material from storage for display, all occasioned by the labor constantly going on in preparation for the exhibition halls of the new Museum building. In fact, the justifiable pride taken in the orderly, system- atic and classified arrangement of the public courts and halls of the Museum is rapidly disappearing in the face of the over-crowded condi- tion and shifting about of cases in preparation necessary to the consum- mation of the ambitious plans of the occupation of the new Grant Park structure. Mr. George F. Porter, Trustee, has resigned his place upon the Board because of his intended protracted absence from the city. The vacancy has been filled by the election of Mr. Henry Field, second grandson of Mr. Marshall Field, the founder of the Institution. There have been no retirements from the scientific staff during the year. Dr. J. Alden Mason, of the University of California, has accepted the position of Assistant Curator in Mexican and South American Archeology, and has entered upon his duties. An appointment to the Assistant Curatorship of the Division of North American Ethnology, authorized by the Board of Trustees, has not been decided upon. Mr, Carl L. Hubbs, of the Leland Stanford Junior University, has accepted _ the position of Assistant Curator of Ichthyology and Herpetology and __ will commence his duties early in 1917. Both of these appointments are from the younger school of their respective sciences, but come _ tothe Museum with the very highest endorsement and with the promise if: of a useful career in the Institution. a Mr. Stanley Field having assumed the cost of restoring and main- taining the activity of the Section of Plant Reproduction in the Depart- 79 80 Frerp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. ment of Botany, discontinued three years ago, the Museum has been so fortunate as to again secure the services of Dr. B. E. Dahlgren as an Assistant Curator in charge of this work, which he will resume with competent assistants within the next month. Work on the shops and studios required for this section has already commenced. The death of Mr. Norman Wait Harris, founder of the N. W. Harris Public School Extension of Field Museum, must be announced. The Board of Trustees at a meeting held August 14th unanimously adopted the following: “The death of Norman Wait Harris has closed a life whose success and whose deeds were based upon and actuated by steadfast Christian principles and an unswerving faith in human character. His wealth was amassed by investments in public and private obligations under- taken for the development and betterment of civic conditions and public education. “‘No man of business in these or other times has been more scrupu- lous in his methods, more honorable in his dealings, or more just in measuring the rights and privileges of individuals or communities. All his manifold transactions, his endowments and gifts to religi benevolent and educational causes, exemplify a purpose to i these benefactions so as to uplift humanity, and push it forward not alone for its material good but for its spiritual welfare. “He was a philosopher in philanthrophy as he was in finance. The honor and respect so generally shown him in life will be accorded his name by all classes for generations. “In expressing this appreciation of the life and character of Mr. Harris, the Board of Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History, which Institution has been the grateful object of his wise and humane generosity, desire especially to record their conviction that in no direc- tion in which Mr. Harris has selected a means of manifesting his interest in men and their children, will larger, deeper or more lasting good have been done than by the endowment of The N. W. Harris Public School Extension of Field Museum of Natural History. “The Board of Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History, having unanimously adopted the foregoing, do instruct that the same be spread upon the records of the Board and request the President to cause the same to be properly engrossed and attested and presented to the family of the late Norman Wait Harris. The progress of the Harris Extension to the Public Schools is re- ferred to in another part of this report, but the impressive fact that Over 250,000 public school children are now included in the service of this Extension is a matter for special mention. Mr. Stanley Field, President of the Museum, has during the year — provided the funds for the establishment of a Pension System in behalf of the employes of the Museum whose compensation is not above a JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 81 certain annual sum. This act, affording such striking evidence of Mr. Field’s interest in the work of the Museum and sympathy for those who are performing it, has brought to the employes a comforting assurance of the future, which not only spreads contentment and relief throughout the Institution, but must add to the efficiency of the work of its beneficiaries. The assumption by Mr. Edward E. Ayer of the cost of supplying to the Ayer Ornithological Library any desirable publications not now contained in the library, or which may hereafter be published, was announced during the year — a provision for the future of this import- ant section of the Museum Library which can hardly be over-estimated. Another gift from the membership of the Board of Trustees is that of Mr. Arthur B. Jones, who assumes the cost of securing and installing a group of six North American buffalo with landscape painting and accessories. This gift which enables the Museum to present in the best form known to the art of modern taxidermy this familiar but practically extinct and exclusively North American mammal in different ages and sex, is a most highly valued contribution to the exhibition halls of the Department of Zodlogy. During the year the material procured at the San Francisco Expo- sition has arrived at the Museum and altogether constitutes a very valuable acquisition to all the departments of the Museum. The Chinese pagodas are now installed in eleven cases. The Chinese gateway has been erected in the main dome court, while the minerals and birds and models and other items, all most desirable, have been cared for in the proper departments. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held December 11th, by unanimous vote permission was asked of Mr. Stanley Field to name one of the exhibition halls of the new Museum building in his honor, requesting him to select a hall. Mr. Field has since announced his preference for the Hall of Mammals. A most noteworthy gift to the Museum during the past year has been the private herbarium of the late Elihu Hall, consisting of ap- proximately 35,000 specimens, presented by the heirs of Mr. Hall. This extends the plant collection in the Museum to most gratifying proportions and adds much new material of unusual interest and worth. Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus has presented the Museum with his re- _ markable collection of Japanese sword guards, a collection which has attracted much interest and comment while being on exhibition at the _ Chicago University. Accompanying this most unique and almost price- less collection, were a number of rare and costly volumes of Japanese 8&2 Freto Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. Art. The Board of Trustees elected Mr. Gunsaulus a Patron in recog- nition of the eminent services he has rendered the Institution. Mr. Homer E. Sargent was also elected a Patron for similar reasons. Mr. Marshall Field has presented the Board of Trustees of the Museum with an oil portrait of the Founder of the Museum, painted by Bonnat. It is to be placed on the wall in the Trustees’ Room of the new Museum. As a result of the personal efforts of President Stanley Field, the Board of Trustees has had the pleasure of electing fifty-two Life Mem- bers during the past few months. This is a most remarkable manifesta- tion of the growing interest of the citizens of Chicago in the Institution, which far outweighs in importance even the very considerable sum of money thus added to the resources of the Museum. The contract for the filling in of the large area of ground, whose natural elevation was some thirty feet below the floor of the basement of the new Museum building, is practically finished; in fact, would have been accomplished except for weather conditions. This com- pletes what might be called the foundation work of the building and it is expected that the placing of the steel and the setting of the marble will begin as early in the spring as the prevailing temperature will per- mit. The main water line has been finished to the building. The — big sewer duct has also been laid to the building line. The marble is cut and three-fourths of it is stored in the city, the balance being at the quarries subject to requisition. The structural steel has all been delivered to the site. Mantenance.— The budget authorized by the Board of Trustees provided the sum of $156,796 for the maintenance of the Museum for the year ending December 31, 1916. The amount expended was $136,280, showing a balance in excess of the estimated expenses of $20,516. In addition to this amount approximately $11,000 was — expended by authority of the Board of Trustees for collections, expedi- tions, etc., bringing the total expenditure for the year to $147,280. Pusucations.— During the year five publications and two indexes — have been issued. These publications comprise five volumes, details of which follow: Pub. 186.— Report Series. Vol. V, No. 1.

These publications have been distributed to all names on the mailing list both in domestic and foreign countries with the exception of those foreign countries where service has been temporarily discontinued by the Bureau of International Exchanges. If a prompt acknowledgment of these publications may be taken as an evidence of appreciation, it has been noted that practically all of the acknowledgment cards have been signed and returned. With the increasing number of publications issued and the increasing demand, especially for the earlier numbers, it has been found advisable to take an inventory of the stock actually on hand. An inventory of the half-tones has also been taken.

It is surprising that so many continue to send their publications as regularly as they have, as will be noted by the list of accessions. A most satisfactory feature of the - year’s work is the acknowledgment of the gifts from friends of the Museum, which include rare and out of print works of an helpful and valuable nature. This is particularly true of the collectic of Japanese works presented by Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus that we indispensable in the installation of the Japanese material given to the Museum by Dr. Gunsaulus, and will be for all time valuable to th LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS URBANA AN., IQI7. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 8 , 19 5 Tomkinson’s Japanese Collection; Jacoby’s Japanische Schwertzieraten. Mr. Edward E. Ayer presented copies of Nelson’s Birds of Yorkshire and Dixson’s Game Birds. Mr. Ayer has also caused to be ordered for the Museum a collection of ornithological works, which when secured, will further enrich the Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library. The students and artists, as they become acquainted with the resources of the Museum Library, find it the only library in the city containing so many rare and beautifully illustrated ornithological works. Mrs Edward E. Ayer presented a copy of her translation of the Memorial of Fray Alonso Benavidies, 1630. The Cambridge University, England, sent a set of sixteen volumes of its Archeological and Ethnological publications. From the Instituto Biologico of Mexico was received eight of the earlier volumes of La Naturaleza. The Canadian Institute sent fifteen of its earliest publications. The Deutsche Morgenlandische Gesellschaft, Leipzig, presented twenty-three volumes of its Zeitschrift. The Academy of Arts and Sciences, Boston, completed its file of Pro- ceedings of fifty-one volumes to date, by sending volumes one to twenty-eight inclusive. Through the generosity of various governments represented at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the library received a hundred books and pamphlets. Among these contributions was that of the Chinese Commission consisting of a work in sixteen volumes, bound in cloth cases, entitled K‘in ting shu king t'u shuo, issued by the command of the late Empress Dowager in 1903, and now out of print. The Argentine Commission gave twenty-eight volumes, among which is a set of the Boletin of the Cordoba Academy of Natural Sciences, particularly desirable. The purchases have been confined to a limited number of books required by the staff for immediate use. Of the twelve orders approved, eleven were filled and these added thirty- five works to the Departmental libraries. Through exchanges with foreign book dealers for publications issued by the Museum, thirteen other important volumes desired by the staff were obtained. Year after year the periodical lists are examined by the Curators and those periodicals that were supposed to have permanent value when subscribed to but have become of less use to the staff, have been dropped from the list. At the present time ninety-eight periodicals are received with twenty continuations. The increased cost of materials used in binderies is reflected in the advance in the schedule of prices for binding, leather binding being almost prohibitive. For several years, however, all books except a few sets in continuation have been bound in cloth or library buckram in preference to leather as more durable bindings. During the year six hundred and thirteen books and pamphlets have been bound. 86 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. The activities which have to do with the receiving, checking, record- ing, cataloguing, classifying, labeling, counting, and binding — the process through which a book must pass before it may be properly placed on the shelf — has continued as in past years. The smaller number of accessions has permitted a continuance of the analytical work that further enhances the value of the library. There have been newly written, revised, and rewritten 20,560 cards. DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND Laseuna.— The work of cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology has been continued as usual during the current year, the number of catalogue cards written by the various members of the staff totaling 2,036. These cards are distributed among the divisions as follows: North American Ethnology and Archwology 178; South American and Mexican Ethnology and Archwology 169; Melanesian Ethnology 199; Philippine and African Ethnology 139; Gunsaulus collection of Japanese sword-guards 926; Tibetan Ethnology 242; Chinese Archmology and Ethnology 181; Indian Archxology 2. These cards have been entered in the inventory books of the Department, which now number 38. The annual acces- sions amount to 29, all of which have been entered. The total number of cards entered beginning from the first volume is 141,552. The Section of Printing has supplied 4,533 labels to the Department during the year. These are distributed over the divisions as follows: American Archxology 235; Chinese Archwology 277; African Ethnology 2,167; Melanesian Ethnology 1,854. The Section of Photography has pro- vided the Department with 232 negatives, 146 prints and 18 lantern slides. The prints were duly classified and added to the departmental albums. An additional number of 436 cards were prepared for the catalogue of lantern slides, the inauguration of which was reported — last year. To the label file were added 875 new label cards. | All prepared and organized material received by the Depart- | ment of Botany during the year has been catalogued to date. 20,292 — entries have been made, making the total number of entries 453,083. / Of the Hall herbarium 14,149 specimens have been prepared, — mounted, and catalogued for insertion in the general herbarium of the — Museum. The cataloguing in the Department of Geology has kept pace with accessions and all specimens in the department are fully recorded. The largest number of entries made was of economic specimens, a total of 1,302 new entries having been made in this division. These with additional entries give a total number for the year of 1,989, and a total number for the department of 134,700. The number of cards written during the year was 78. The labels written number 1,047. About JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 87 200 of these labels were handwritten with white ink on black card- board to serve as temporary labels until printed ones could be secured; the remainder were from the Section of Printing. Most of the labels were for newly installed economic specimens. A total of 722 printed labels has been received during the year, the larger part being for the meteorite collection. These have all been installed with the cor- responding specimens. There remains in the hands of the printer, copy for 1,143 labels. In the Department of Zodlogy the cataloguing and labeling of the South American birds received from Museum expeditions has been continued during the year. A regional catalogue of South American mammals was prepared in the form of an index of about 650 cards. A total of 1,105 labels were installed as follows: 36 labels for mounted fishes; 2 for the Moose group; 2 for the osteological exhibit; 1 for South American bird group; 55 for mounted birds and 1,009 for the shell col- lection. The entries made during the year number 1,817, of which 1,663 were for ornithology and 154 for mammalogy.

This material was turned out by the Industrial School maintained by the Jesuit Establishment Sikkawei near Shanghai. The gateway is entirely carved of teakwood, and in its monumental character presents a fine example of Chinese architecture, and thus far is the first monument of this art in the Museum that is constructed on the size of an original. The magnitude of the composition, the harmony of proportions, the high technical skill, the numerous artistic and beautiful carvings, the wealth of ingenious decorative designs which embody a fine record of Chinese thought, make this object a most striking and prominent acquisition. The collection of eighty-four models of Chinese pagodas has both a highly scientific and an educational value. The pagodas are 88 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. the most conspicuous religious buildings of China, veritable landmarks with a detailed recorded history. This collection presents the very first comprehensive attempt to introduce them into a museum and to render their study generally accessible. The models being reproduced according to a rigid scale (about '/so of the originals, on an average), convey an exact idea of the original monuments and allow a minute study, even of details of construction. All provinces of China are represented in the collection; besides, there are two pagodas from Korea and two from Tibet. A prominent accession by purchase is a collection of more than eight hundred Mexican archzxological objects. The majority of antiquities in this collection are from excavations on the outskirts of San Miguel Amantla, Azcapotzalco. Among the hundred pieces of pottery forming a part of this collection are many rare and unique forms. There are also about two hundred small objects of great excellence and artistic quality, comprising Mixtec stone figurines, mirrors of obsidian and pyrate nodules, beads and pendants of various forms carved from jadeite, agate, and other translucent stones. Another acquisition made by purchase consists of seven choice Navaho blankets, in good condition, collected about forty years ago at Forth Wingate, New Mexico, by Lieut. Col. Wilson T. Hartz of the U.S. Army. The most notable gift received during the year is the collection of Japanese sword-guards and sword-furniture brought together by the efforts of Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus. This important collection consists of over nine hundred specimens, comprising all the manifold designs ever conceived for the decoration of sword-guards, and covering all periods from medieval to modern times. These appurtenances of the sword represent a splendid object-lesson in the application of Japanese design, and eloquently reveal the innate spirit of Japanese chivalry and gal- lantry. The gift of Dr. Gunsaulus is accompanied by a valuable collection of books relating to Japanese art and in particular to sword- guards, as well as by a special catalogue in manuscript, prepared by — Miss Helen Gunsaulus with great care after many years of earnest study of the subject. Also 1,703 negatives of the sword-guards (the © obverse and reverse of each having been taken) were presented by Dr. Gunsaulus. Eight musical instruments made in Peking were presented by the Commission of the Republic of China at the Panama- Pacific International Exposition. To Mr. Luther Parker, a former government official in the Philippines, the Department is indebted for a small, but very interesting collection of ancient pottery fragments and other material, found by him in burial caves on the Islands. pottery comes from the kilns of Sawankalok in Siam and from those of southern China, and testifies to the medizval intercourse of the JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 89 with the mainland of south-eastern Asia. Of special interest is a frag- ment of Celadon pottery of Chinese origin, the body of which exhibits a pure white porcelain mass, while as a rule the early Celadon glaze is wrought over a crude stoneware body. Mr. Arthur B. Jones enabled the Museum to acquire a silver statuette made in Lhasa, Tibet, and inlaid with pearls, turquois, and coral; it represents Amitabha, the Buddha of Light. Two fine old Navaho blankets, one of bayeta, are gifts from Mr. Homer E. Sargent. Mr. Sargent also provided funds for the purchase of a collection of ancient pottery from Casas Grandes, Mexico. It consists of 162 small pieces comprising coiled and indented, smooth, undecorated, polished red and black, as well as the beautiful polychrome ware characteristic of that region. It is equally of scientific and artistic value. Mr. Sargent also presented to the Museum twenty beautiful old head-plumes worn by the Karok Indians of northwestern California in the White Deer-Skin Dance. To Mr. Edward E. Ayer are due six fine old buckskin skirts, two aprons ornamented with pine- nuts, three excellent head-bands of buckskin, worn in the Jumping Dance, and a quiver of basketry carried during the same dance-cere- mony, all from the Hupa, Yurok, and Karok Indians of northwestern California. Mr. Ayer also contributed thirty-eight prehistoric stone implements collected in the vicinity of Phoenix, Arizona. An inter- esting image carved from green quartz, of Mexican origin, was presented by Mrs. S. E. Barrett. The number of accessions received by the Department of Botany during the year numbered 48, of these all the specimens of 44 have been prepared, organized, and catalogued. The accessions comprise 44 economic and 20,248 herbarium specimens. The most important addi- tion to the plant collections is that of the private herbarium of Elihu Hall, presented by the family of the late Mr. Hall. This herbarium is estimated to contain about 35,000 sheets; it also comprises a great mass of duplicates that will be utilized in exchanges. The Hall herbarium embraces Mr. Hall’s personal collections in Illinois, Texas, and Oregon, and Hall and Harbor’s Rocky Mountain Plants; together with a mass of material acquired in exchange with his contemporaries: Curtiss, Bebb, Clinton Patterson, Bolander, Faxon, Gray, M. E. Jones, Mohr, Canby, Hale, Vasey, Blake, Bishop, Fendler, Eaton, Garber, Howell, Parry, Lemmon, Macowan, Oakes, Porter, Ravenel, Wolf, and many others in North America. From his foreign exchanges he secured a complete set of all the numbers of the Relique Mailleanz, and very full series of Bourgeau, Spain; Daenen, Switzerland; Blanche, Syria; Laresche, Switzerland; Gaillardot, Syria; Cosson, France; Heldereich, Greece; Mathonnet, France; Bourgeau, Italy; Timothée, France; Pisa go Fretp Museum or Natura History — Reports, Vou. ¥v. Herbarium, Italy; Bordere, France; Bunge, China; Bourgeau, France; Maller, Australia; McOwan, South Africa; Bolus, Africa, and many others. The Hall herbarium embraces the years 1845 to 1880. Its unique element consists in a large number of specimens gained by growing plants near his home, in the neighborhood of Athens, Illinois, from seeds gathered in the western and southwestern regions of the United States and others secured from fruiting herbarium specimens from all parts of the world; thus enabling investigators to compare original plants with those grown in a widely different environment. The other notable additions for the year are: Ames, Philippine orchids 258; Clements, California plants 371; Gaumer, Yucatan 311; Grant, Washington 76; Miss King, Kentucky 397; Lansing and Sherff, Illinois 92; Meyer, China 81; Miss Moodie, Alberta 398; New York Botanical Garden, West Indies 1,447; Miss Standley, Florida 335; U. S. National Herbarium, various regions 324; University of California, California 129; and Wenzel, Philippines 636.

She ee 109 2,032 In the Department of Geology a considerable number of valuable accessions were received from exhibitors at the Panama-Pacific Inter- national Exposition. The commissions or firms presenting important material were the Gas Light and Coke Company, London, England, Australian Commission, Bolivian Commission, New Zealand Com- _ mission, Chinese Commission, and Greek Commission. The Gas Light and Coke Company, London, England, presented 223 specimens illus- trating the by-products of gas manufacture and a mahogany floor case for its exhibition. The series is very complete and well prepared, showing the various products obtained from the distilation of coal. The specimens include coal, coke, pitch, large masses of crystals of prussiate of potash, various dyes, various hydro-carbons, such as benzol, toluol and varieties of creosote, various forms of naphthaline, pyridine, anthracene, alizarin, ammoniacal liquids, sulphates, nitrates, iates, carbonates, and other compounds of ammonia, sulphur, cop- , sodium and potassium cyanides, various blue coloring matters, coloring matters, cyanogen, fluorescin,and various other products. The whole forms a very nearly complete series illustrating products 94 Freco Museum or Natvurat History — Reports, Vor. V. which may be obtained from coal. The Australian Commission pre- sented 61 specimens illustrating many important ores of Australia. Many of the specimens are of large size, and the whole accession aggre- gated several hundred pounds in weight. An important feature was a full series of ores and concentrates of lead and zinc from the Broken Hill district. There are also gold ores, tin and copper ores from many localities, and a number of miscellaneous specimens. They are all of excellent quality and will add much to the representation of Australian ores in the Museum. The Bolivian Commission presented 80 specimens consisting chiefly of ores of tin from various mines of Bolivia. A large number of these specimens illustrate ores of remarkable richness. Although Bolivia is one of the world’s most important sources of tin, the Museum had previously no representation of its tin ores, so that the accession is especially welcome. Ores of bismuth, molybdenum and copper were also included in the series received. Among the copper ores, some remarkable arborescent aggregates of native copper are of special interest. The Chinese Commission gave a series of ores number- ing 291 specimens, chiefly from the Province of Honan, China. These include specimens of gold ore, sulphur, silver ore, asbestos, copper ore, stream tin, manganese ore, antimony ore, fluorite, coke, and coal. Specimens of lead, zinc,and iron made from these ores were also included. There were also a number of specimens of mineralogical interest, such as two specimens of crystallized cinnabar, a large one of calcite and a number of crystallized smoky quartzes. All of this material is entirely new to the collections, no specimens from this part of China having been previously possessed in the Department. The Commission also presented a model of a large lead mining, milling, and dressing works at Shui kao Shan, Province of Hunan, China. This model is — about 13 feet square and represents on a scale of 1 to 135 the topog- — raphy of the region where the lead mines are located and the various | buildings, derricks, pits, and tracks by means of which the activities of the mines are carried on. The model has been prepared with care and accuracy and has geographic as well as economic interest. The Greek Commission presented 315 specimens of ores which represent all — the important mineral products of Greece except the marbles. They include specimens of zinc, lead, silver, iron, manganese, nickel, copper and chrome ores together with specimens of emery and magnesite. There are also specimens of lead and base bullion made from the ores, and of emery powders, calcined magnesite, magnesite cement and magnesite fire brick.

Made by the Chinese Orphanage of Sikkawei near Shanghai. JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 95 specimens of satisfactory size of this widely used and well-known sub- stance. The zinc ores include a great variety of the brilliantly colored smithsonites for which Laurium is famous. Besides the ores there are two lots of the slags from the silver smelting operations of the ancient Greeks between 600 B.C. and 400 B.C. which are now being resmelted to save the silver that the early smelters could not extract. The New Zealand Commission presented a restoration of the giant, extinct bird known as the Moa. This restoration was prepared with great care at the New Zealand Museum, and shows a bird standing over 12 feet in height with a body measuring 8 feet in length. The probable feather covering is shown, also the form and dimensions of the bird. The great size of this creature makes it an object of special interest. A very valuable accession obtained largely through the efforts of Mr. W. J. Chalmers, consisted of 40 specimens of tin and copper ores presented by the leading tin mining companies of South Africa. These ores had not been previously represented in the collections and they are also of im- portance since they show characters not seen in the tin ores of other regions. Mr. Chalmers also kindly presented two especially fine crystals of gem tourmaline from California and a specimen of crystallized gold from French Guiana. A series of pebbles from Wyoming showing unusual polishing by wind, was presented by Messrs. Geo. F. Porter and A. A. Sprague. From the Chamber of Commerce of Chlo- ride, Arizona, a representative series of the gold, silver, lead,and other ores of that district was received by gift, making a valued addition. An interesting series of 15 specimens illustrating the manufacture of potash and other products from alunite and of nitrogen products manu- factured from the air, was presented by the Armour Fertilizer Works. In this connection also, the gift by Professor S. H. Knight, of the Uni- versity of Wyoming, of specimens of the leucitic rocks of Wyoming, which are considered possible sources of commercial potash, is worthy of mention. The Titanium Alloys Manufacturing Company presented a specimen of metallic titanium, which is a rarely produced substance, together with specimens of two ferro-titanium alloys. The Norton Laboratories gave a large bar of metallic magnesium. A series of pegmatite products used in cement facing and two large masses of peg- matite were donated by the Crown Point Spar Company of Essex, New York. Professor E. L. Moseley of Bowling Green, Ohio, gave some interesting specimens of celestite and invertebrate fossils. By exchange, 13 specimens of stream concretions were obtained from Professor F. Justin Roddy and specimens of the Dalton and Lake Okechobee meteorites were received from the United States National Museum. An iron meteorite from Batavia, New York, weighing 5,930 96 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. grams, and an individual weighing 2,000 grams of the Plainview, Texas, meteorite fall were purchased, as were also specimens of four other me- teorites. Eight specimens of the peculiar glassy forms called austra- lites were also purchased. By collection, about 40 specimens of fossils and economic specimens were added as a result of the Curator’s trip to La Salle County, Illinois, and 75 specimens min- erals, dendrites and rock products, from field work in Maine. The Assistant Curator collected in Arizona 20 specimens of copper ores and fossils. In the Department of Zodlogy the most important accession of the year is a very fine and practically perfect egg of the extinct bird Apyor- nis. It was purchased from Mr. Peter A. Bjelde who obtained it from natives in Madagascar and personally brought it from there to this country. The first installment of the Museum's share of the birds taken on the Collins-Day expedition consisting of 215 bird skins were received from the American Museum of Natural History. The mam- mals of this expedition were received early in the year but have not yet been accessioned. A collection of 57 mammals and 76 bird skins from Argentina were presented by the Argentine Commissioners to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition and deserve special mention. Among them were a number of species new to the collection. To the collection of fishes and reptiles there were added but six specimens. One of them, however, a Yellow-bellied Sea Snake, was very desirable, as well as new to the Museum collection. By far the largest and most important addition than can be recorded was the Hall collection of shells, which was a donation from the heirs of Elihu Hall, Athens, IIli- nois. This collection consists mainly of American fresh-water shells and contains at least several thousand named specimens. As they have not yet been gone over and sorted by a specialist, the exact number of specimens that will be accessioned eventually cannot be definitely given at this time. Among the insects obtained, the most desirable were 63 Sphinx Moths secured, by an exchange, from Mr. B. Preston Clark of Boston. Of this lot at least thirty species were new to the collection. Another desirable, though smaller acquisition, was an exchange whereby 17 rare butterflies from northern India were secured. The accessions may be summarized as follows: Purchase: 138 mam- nests and eggs, and approximately 3,c00 shells; By exchange: 39 mammals and 8o insects. EXPEDITIONS AND FieLO Worx.— A few days were spent by the of Geology in visiting several localities in La Salle County, Illinois, as a result specimens of a number of occurrences which had not JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 97 previously represented in the collections were procured. The material obtained included specimens of cone-in-cone structure, stylolites and concretions, fossil ferns and a series of hydraulic limestones and cements. A collecting trip was also made by the Curator of Geology among the pegmatite regions of western Maine. A large number of valuable specimens of the rare minerals of the region, such as tourmaline, colum- bite, beryl,and herderite were procured, also some showy dendrites and a striking series illustrating zonal weathering. The Assistant Curator of Geology through a brief trip among most of the large porphyry copper mines of New Mexico and Arizona secured a representative though limited suite of the characteristic ores of this important new development of the mining industry. The large mines visited on this trip and from which specimens were secured were the Chino and Empire Zinc mines in New Mexico, and the Copper Queen, Old Dominion, Inspiration,and Miami mines in Arizona. At Grand Canyon, Arizona, also, he obtained a number of specimens of Cretaceous fossils, copper and silver ores and asbestos. INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT.— There have been placed on permanent exhibition in the Department of Anthro- pology go new cases, most of these being completely labeled. The material installed in these cases is distributed over the various divisions as follows: African ethnology 27 cases; Melanesian ethnology 44 cases; American ethnology 1 case; American Archeology 7 cases, and Chinese pagodas 11. The interesting Mexican pottery from Casas Grandes presented by Mr. Homer E. Sargent has been installed in two standard cases in the East Court. The recent acquisition of Navaho blankets necessitated the reinstallation of a case of Navaho blanketry in Hall 6. Progress has been made in the installation in standard cases in the East Court, which, since the opening of the Museum, has been shown in the old Peabody cases from the World’s Columbian Exposi- tion. Four cases of the Hopewell material, from Ross County, Ohio, are well along toward completion in Alcove 83. The new arrangement on shelves is very satisfactory, and brings out to advantage the scientific value of this remarkable collection. The prehistoric pottery from Chiriqui Republic of Panama, has been permanently placed on exhibi- tion in two standard cases in Alcove 93 of the East Court. Costa Rican archeology now in Alcove 84 is being prepared for permanent exhibi- tion. All Peabody cases released, as the work of reinstallation pro- gresses, are used for permanent storage in Halls 68 and 69 of the West Annex in accordance with the plan outlined a year ago. For the purpose of preserving and photographing material, work has been done in 138 exhibition cases. Installed cases of the Joseph N. Field collec- 98 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. tions have been moved from Hall 72 into Hall 80, thus giving needed floor space in the former for working purposes. One-fourth of the floor space in Hall 71 has been cleared with the result that desired additional room for installation work has been gained. The African collection was carefully overhauled, and a large amount of material previously un- identified was studied and placed in its proper grouping. This material is now divided into three groups: the first, intended for exhibition; the second, reserved for the study collection; the third, for exchange. The exhibition collection has been installed in twenty-seven standard cases fully labeled, and illustrated by maps and a considerable number of photographs. The most notable exhibit in this series is presented by the artistic cast bronze and ivory carvings from Benin, many of the specimens being of unusual excellence and rarity. The balance of the Northwest Coast of Africa, the Sudan, and the upper tributaries of the Nile, are represented by five cases. Collections from Somaliland and the Lake Region of Eastern Africa occupy 8 cases, illustrating different types of culture like that of the Arabicised tribes, the war-like Masai, and the nomadic Wandorobo. A very complete collection from the Ovimbundu and Zulu gives an instructive view of the life and industries of these most advanced tribes of southern Africa. Congo material is displayed in 6 cases, showing the life of the Pigmies, as well as of the metal-working Bantu stock. An interesting feature of the last mentioned collection is a large group of fetish objects and other articles relating to the highly developed ceremonial and religious life of those peoples. In their present arrangement, the African collections, though still far from being complete, give a vivid picture of the various cultures of the continent, and likewise illustrate well the interrelations of the different tribes. Further progress has been made in the instal- lation of the Joseph N. Field South Sea Islands collection, 44 cases devoted to Melanesian ethnology having been completed. This mate- rial covers the following regions. The two islands Buka and Bougain- ville, belonging to the group of the Solomon Islands, are fully represented by 8 cases. Especially noteworthy in this exhibit are wood carvings including one large human statue; the peculiar balloon-shaped hats worn "by the Matasese, the young men who are initiated into a secret society; the huge coiled baskets, wooden platters, heavy stone nut-crackers, and a complete series of stone implements, showing the different ways of hafting the axes. The central Solomons are represented by objects JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 99 some very elaborate. The different types of clubs and spears, including those terminating in worked human bone, are completely represented. Native life on the island of New Hanover is shown in another case. The elaborately decorated clubs and spears of St. Matthias together with large ornamented combs, and woven mats and belts occupy two cases. The same number of cases illustrates the culture of Lihir, Aneri, Tanga, Nissan, small islands east of New Ireland, the manufacture of shell arm rings from Tanga and shell money from Nissan being especially note- worthy. Two further cases are concerned with Lord Howe, Mortlock, Tasman, and Sikaiana, small islands lying north of the Solomons, but showing a culture with Micronesian and Polynesian, rather than Mel- anesian affinities. New Britain is represented by a very complete col- lection, in sixteen cases, from the Gazelle Peninsula. It includes many valuable old specimens obtained and figured by Richard Parkinson, also a number of remarkable Baining and Sulka masks, numerous specimens from central and western New Britain as well as from the neighboring islands, showing a strong New Guinea influence. A representative collection from the southwest coast about Cape Merkus illustrates the life and industries of the people. There is a series of their finely carved wooden bowls, coiled baskets, painted bark-cloth, feather head-dresses used in dances, and personal ornaments. The Philippine material has been revised and partially reinstalled. The models of Chinese pagodas have been installed in three standard four-feet cases and eight special cases arranged in Hall 48 of the East Annex. This Hall was opened to the public at the end of the year. The Chinese gateway has been erected on the east side of the Rotunda. In the Department of Botany the following cases have been in- stalled, labeled and placed on exhibition: in the American Forestry Series: Sweet Buckeye; Fraser’s Fir; Southern Red Cedar; Loblolly Bay; Silver Bell; Pennsylvania Cherry; Ogeche Lime; Water Gum; Black Cherry; and Basswood. Specimens, with their labels, sufficient for the installation of twelve other cases have been fully prepared and are ready to be put in place as soon as the cases for their accommodation are furnished. Installation in the herbarium cases has been sadly interfered with on account of lack of space in the rooms available to this section of the department. It has become necessary to remove from installation all specimens in the lower plant orders, wrap them up in bundles and store them away, in order to give up their place in the cases to families more frequently consulted. This has also been necessary in the case of newly arriving Eurasian plants, until the end of the year reveals over three hundred such bundles rendered unavailable for study or reference. A discouraging amount of time and labor had to be 100 6Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. wasted in shifting and reshifting installed specimens in order to make room for the installation of new material and keep the collection as available as possible in the cramped quarters they occupy. Space for the organization and preparation of the Elihu Hall herbarium was gained by shifting a number of exhibition cases into a hollow square on the exhibition gallery and connecting the case with the preparator’s room. In the Department of Geology three halls, Nos. 60, 61, and 62, which had been closed to the public for several years were reinstalled and reopened. In two of these halls are now exhibited numerous large, vertebrate fossils of Pleistocene age, including skeletons of the Cave Bear and large birds of New Zealand, the mastodon skull found at Yorkville, Illinois, and restorations of the giant sloth, large turtle, large armadillo or Glyptodon, and fossil shark jaws. Various bones of the mammoth and mastodon, small whales and Tertiary titanotheres are also shown in these halls, and a series of the large, corkscrew-like forms known as Demonelix. In addition, a model of the above-ground work- ings of the Shui kao Shan lead mine, Hunan, China, has been installed in Hall 60. This model covers an area of about 170 square feet. It is enclosed in a case thirteen feet square and placed on a base three feet high. The case and base were constructed at the Museum, the model itself was the gift of the Chinese Commission to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The model illustrates on a scale of 1:135 the plant at the surface of the mine, and the ore dressing works at which the ore is prepared for smelting. The plant was built by European trained men and illustrates the extent and variety of operations carried on in modern mining. A large specimen of the ore obtained at the mine accompanies the exhibit. To the third hall, Hall 62, of the group recently opened, the petroleum collection previously exhibited in Alcove 107 was transferred, with some additions. As now installed, the collection comprises nine wall cases, two pyramidal floor cases and two flat floor cases of specimens. Of these cases, five are devoted to the petroleums produced in different oil fields, one to a quantitative exhibit of the products of one barrel of petroleum, four to various finished products of petroleum, and three to specimens of petroleum- bearing sands and rocks and their characteristic fossils. To the space left vacant in Alcove 107 by the removal of the petroleum exhibit, five cases containing stone and iron meteorites were moved and fully reinstalled. One of these cases was devoted to Canyon Diablo meteor- ites, of which the collection contains a large number of specimens vary- — ing in weight from ror3 Ibs. to a few ounces. The total weight of this — meteorite thus exhibited is over 5,000 Ibs. In other cases all the larger REPORTS, PLATE XIX.

IOI stone and iron-stone meteorites were placed, the specimens being grouped so as to bring those of the same class together. At the same time the opportunity was improved to definitely group all the meteor- ites, the grouping being on the basis of a classification founded on structural features. In Hall 31 a number of series have been rearranged with or without the addition of new material. One of these is a collec- tion of volcanic products which has been so reorganized as to exhibit the characteristic products of each locality in groups. At present, good series of the products of the volcanoes of Vesuvius, Popocatepetl, Kilauea, Sakurijima, the Auvergne region and many localities in the western United States are shown. A special addition made to the products of Vesuvius was a series of specimens of volcanic ash thrown out during the eruption of April, 1906. These specimens show the changes in the character of the ash during successive days of the erup- tion. Photographs of a recent eruption of Sakurijima were installed among the products of that volcano. Other additions made to the series of dynamical geological products in Hall 31 include six splendid specimens of zonal weathering which were collected by the Curator in Maine, specimens of dendrites similarly collected, a number of speci- mens of cone-in-cone structure, stylolites, etc., collected by the Curator in Illinois, and a number of specimens showing several varieties of weathering. Another change made in the installation of this hall was the removal to storage of the series of New York rocks and the installa- tion in its place of collections illustrating the uses of lime and of borax. In the collection illustrating lime and its uses, a number of varieties of limestone and lime from various localities are shown and following these, illustrations of chemical and agricultural uses of lime and limestone, uses of lime for paints, plasters, and cements, medical uses of lime, etc. In the borax collection are shown various borax minerals, various refined boraxes, and illustrations of the uses of borax in the arts. Another collection prepared and installed in this hall was one illustrating sources and uses of potash. Various rocks and minerals containing potash in appreciable quantities are exhibited in this collection and many of the finished products from these rocks, including not only potash but alumina, sulphuric acid, etc. The collection illustrating magnesia and its uses was considerably enlarged and rearranged, additions of Indian and Grecian magnesite, raw and calcined, being made, also of metallic magnesium, hydraulic cements, magnesia packing, etc. To the sulphur collection were added some interesting specimens of molded sulphur received from China. Some additions were also made to the economic barite and fluorite collections. A magnetic compass was installed in connection with the large specimen of lodestone in Hall 30, the compass 102 Fietp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. being supported on a pivoted brass arm in such a manner that it can be moved by the visitor in a semi-circle about the lodestone. The attrac- tion of the lodestone causes a reversal of the ends of the needle and a constant pointing of the needle towards the stone, thus illustrating its permanent magnetic properties. In Skiff Hall, a number of additional collections have been installed, space for introduction of new material having been gained by removal of some previously exhibited. In place of two cases of onyx, the case of products of coal received from the London, England, Gas Light and Coke Company was installed. This case con- tains over 200 large and showy specimens representing the products of coal, such as coke, ammonia compounds, carbolic acid, prussiates and cyanides, creosotes, dyes and pigments. The whole makes a brilliant and instructive exhibit and one of special interest at this time, since the domestic production of many of these compounds has become desirable in view of the difficulty of obtaining them from abroad. The exhibit is installed in a case received from the London Company, some alterations having been made in it to make it harmonize in appearance with the _ other cases in the hall. To other collections in the hall a large number of additions have been made, chiefly of material received from the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The greatest of these addi- tions has been made to the tin ore collection. The additions include the splendid series of South African tin ores obtained through the gener- ous efforts of Mr. W. J. Chalmers, about an equal number of Bolivian tin ores, 15 specimens of Australian tin ores and some tin ores from scattering localities. Owing to increased interest in tungsten ores, this collection also was completely rearranged, and a full series from most of the important localities producing such ores at this time was pro- cured and exhibited. The collection of gold and silver ores of Ontario has been reinstalled with the addition of specimens representing several — of the newly discovered gold districts. Part of the copper ore collections have been revised, with the addition of specimens representing the “porphyry” ores of the United States, and typical ores of copper mining districts of Bolivia, South Africa and China. A series of — Chinese ores has been added to the iron ore collection. Specimens from the Panama-Pacific International Exposition and from the mate- rial received from Mr. W. J. Chalmers have been installed with the ores of gold, silver, lead, tungsten, and mercury, thus materially strengthening these collections. A collection from the potash of Utah illustrating the ores and their aluminum salts which are by-products, has been installed with the aluminum ores collection. complete skeleton of the American camel Oxydactylus longipes, the lower Miocene period, was installed in a floor case in Hall 36 ee JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 103 This camel was remarkable for its size and slender structure, the slenderness being such as to make the skeleton difficult to mount. In order to obtain sufficient rigidity, steel sockets were set in the limb bones at intervals and these served as fastenings for pieces of half-round steel which were placed along the surfaces of the bones. In this way a firm but graceful mount was secured. The base of the mount was made of material imitative of the matrix in which the skeleton was found. In an adjoining case a fore leg of Alticamelus, another American camel remarkable for the size and length of its limb bones has been installed; and in still another case a number of skulls and limb bones of Miocene camels and horses have been placed. All of this material was col- lected by Museum expeditions in the western states. The skeleton of the saber tooth cat in this hall was transferred to a plaster base imitating the matrix from which it was taken. The series of Jurassic mollusks from Patagonia collected by Professor Salisbury has been in- stalled in Hall 36, and a case of Devonian fossils has been brought from Hall 61 and installed in this hall. In the paleontological laboratory the cleaning and mounting of a skeleton of Oxydactylus has been completed; a fore limb of Alticamelus has been prepared and mounted; a skeleton of a small, Miocene, burrowing carnivore found in one of the peculiar corkscrew-like forms occurring in Nebraska has been prepared for mounting; two partial skeletons of the Oligocene three-toed horse, Mesohippus bairdii, have been prepared, as have also a large skull of Diceratherium and fore limbs of the smallest Miocene horse, Merychip- pus; the mounting of a skeleton of a fossil wolf from the Los Angeles beds has been nearly completed and the skeleton of the saber tooth cat from the same locality has been transferred to a base imitative of the matrix from which the specimen was obtained. In the Department of Zoology the reinstallation of the shell exhibit has been continued during the year. Seven cases of shells were installed, to of the new A-cases now being filled. Of this number 7 have been permanently labeled. Some idea of the amount of work required to install a case may be formed when it is stated that one of those just filled contains 2,829 shells, most of which has to be mounted in a special man- ner and which required 718 tablets and almost the same number of individual shelves for their installation. In the Division of Osteology 337 skulls and 12 skeletons were prepared. Three skeletons were also prepared for the exhibition collection. The usual precautions were taken against the depredations of insect pests and all collections were disinfected. Most of the exhibition cases are now provided with devices which permit disinfection without opening the case.
