ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 1919 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, 1919. Uncertainty as to the date of removal to the new Museum building in Grant Park was as far as humanly possible dissipated at the close of the year, by the joint opinion of all parties and agencies concerned in the big task that this movement could safely begin the latter part of April, and it is upon this understanding that the personnel of the Museum will enter the new year; with over ninety per cent of the ma- terial ready for transportation and the building practically completed. All the contracts incident to this most important work will have been closed during January and all arrangements perfected for the building of spur tracks from the Illinois Central Railroad to platforms to be constructed near the openings in each building provided for forwarding and receiving. It is now estimated that the transfer of all properties may be accomplished within sixty days and that before the end of 1920 sufficient installation will have been completed to justify admission of the public to at least certain sections of the new building. After rather protracted negotiations, but without any serious dispute, the contract with the Government permitting the hospitalization of the new Museum building was cancelled and the Museum accepted from the Government an allowance as full satisfaction of the expenses incurred and additional cost imposed during the time the Government controlled building operations. Mr. James Simpson, Vice-President of Marshall Field & Company and for many years the confidential associate of Marshall Field, donated to the Museum such a sum of money as would be required to construct the large assembly hall, or auditorium, in the new building. This gift was accepted with expressions which the circumstance would naturally invite. Subsequently, it was determined to dedicate this auditorium as “James Simpson Theatre of Field Museum of Natural History.” It will accommodate one thousand people. A stage and its ordinary accompaniments, foot lights, orchestra stall, etc., are included in the 393 304 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. plan. The interior treatment of the theatre will be in harmony with that of the main building and it will be equipped with every modern appliance for facility and comfort. The Trustees have named the large hall along the east side of the Department of Botany on the second floor of the new building in honor of Mrs. Stanley Field. In this hall will be installed the collections in plant reproduction, for which expensive and elaborate work under the direction of the Department of Botany, Mrs. Field has provided the essential funds. It will be known as Sara C. Field Hall. The plaster model of the new Museum building, which has been on exhibition in the Rotunda of the present building for several years, by vote of the Board of Trustees has been presented to the Architectural School of Armour Institute. The Woman's Temple building, located at the corner of La Salle and Adams streets, mortgage upon which was given to the Museum by Mar- shall Field before his death and which mortgage was foreclosed after years of default, was sold to the State Bank of Chicago during the month of May, and the proceeds added to the capital of the General Fund. In order to increase the income to a sum demanded by the extended service of the public schools by The N. W. Harris Public School Ex- tension of Field Museum of Natural History, the heirs of the late Nor- man W. Harris, who provided the foundation for the Extension, have donated to the Museum the sum of $25,000.00. Trustee William Wrigley, Jr., having granted an exclusive privilege to the Museum to survey, excavate and collect archzological material on Catalina Island, the Museum, by permission of the grantor, entered in an arrangement with the Museum of the American Indian of New York City to prosecute scientific investigation on this island for the period of two years. An expedition for this purpose is to be com- missioned by Mr. George G. Heye, President of the Museum of the American Indian, early in 1920. A gift of unusual interest came from President Field; a Chinese cloisonné figure, perfect in execution and rich in color, about twenty- two inches high, representing a Grand Lama of the Buddhist Church of Tibet. Upon comparison with other images, the statue is identified as a portrayal of Pal-dan-ye-she, a church dignitary only next in rank to the Dalai Lama of .Lhasa, and known as the Tashi Lama. Extended — reference to this donation is made elsewhere. An important accession during the year consisted of the private bo- tanical collection of Mr. Edward T. Harper of Geneseo, Illinois. This collection is composed of 10,000 fungi, 10,000 flowering plants, over 800 titles of books and pamphlets and approximately 1,500 photograph JAN., 1920 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 305 negatives. Mr. Harper desiring to continue his collecting and notes on this order of plants will remain in charge of this section in the Depart- ment of Botany, as Assistant Curator of Cryptogamic Botany. The transfer of the material will take place when the section which it is to occupy in the new building is ready for its reception. Mr. George Langford of Joliet, Illinois, presented to the Museum his unusual collection of remains of mastodons obtained in Minooka, Illi- nois, and also specimens of mosasaurs from Kansas. The mastodon material includes remains of eight individuals. The expenses incurred by Mr. Langford in connection with this transfer were borne by Trustee Chauncey Keep. The publication of “‘Sino-Iranica” by Dr. Berthold Laufer, Curator of the Department of Anthropology, funds for which were provided by Mrs. T. B. Blackstone and Mr. Charles R. Crane, has been completed and distributed. Mr. William Wrigley, Jr. has presented to the Museum a notable collection of pre-Colombian gold ornaments from the United States of Colombia, excavated near the river Neshi, which is described in detail elsewhere. The gift comprises a brilliant and intrinsically valuable contribution to the rare material in the Museum. An advance in salaries and the allowance of generous bonuses for the year 1919, recognized the increased cost of subsistence as well as the protracted and commendable services of the recipients. Mr. Stanley Field was unanimously elected by the Board of Trustees an Honorary Member of the Institution, in recognition of the eminent service he has rendered to science. Mr. John P. Wilson was elected a Patron of the Museum, in recog- nition of the eminent service he has rendered to the Institution. The continued efforts of President Field to increase the Life Member- ships of the Institution resulted in the election of the following during the year: Mark Morton, Silas H. Strawn, Edward S. Moore, Leroy A. Goddard, Robert H. Allerton, John V. Farwell, Ward W. Willits, Frederic McLaughlin, John Borden, Lafayette McWilliams, Joy Morton, Solomon A. Smith, Charles P. Wheeler, Frederick T. Haskell, Thomas E. Wilson, George E. Scott, Frank Hibbard, Frank O. Lowden, William O. Goodman, C. K. G. Billings, John W. Scott, G. F. Swift, Jr., A. G. Becker, Garrard B. Winston, Henry C. Lytton, William A. Pinkerton, David B. Jones, A. W. Goodrich, Thomas D. Jones, James C. Hutchins, John B. Drake, L. J. Hopkins, John B. Lord, Thomas W. Hinde, Adolph Nathan, Wallace C. Winter. The death of Harlow N. Higinbotham, as a result of an automobile accident in New York City on April 18, 1919, has to be announced. - ae * P ¢ 306 Freco Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. Mr. Higinbotham took a very active interest as President of the Colum- bian Exposition in securing for the Museum a vast quantity of material, which was the nucleus of the collections, and as Chairman of the Execu- tive Committee of the Museum for fifteen years and as President of the Museum for twelve years, assisted effectively in the up-building of the Institution. He presented the collection of Gems and Jewels now in- stalled in a hall named in his honor and gave other interesting but less costly material to the Museum. Mr. Higinbotham was succeeded as President by the incumbent of that office in 1909. At the last regular meeting of the year, the Trustees were informed that the Founder of the Stanley Field Museum Employes’ Pension Fund had suggested incorporating a system of life insurance in the benefits of the pension plan and that the Committee in charge of pensions had worked out a scheme which commended itself to Mr. Field. The Board of Trustees gave its approval, and it is probable that by the firstof February, 1920, life insurance will be written upon the employes 3 | the Institution. | Mantenance.—The budget authorized by the Board of Trustees provided the sum of $156,380.00 for the maintenance of the Museum for the year. The amount expended was $132,252.00, which sum includes all expenditures made for preparing the entire contents of the Museum for removal to the new building. A satisfactory margin of $24,130.00 appears as a result of the operations during the year. A further sum of $9,039.00 was expended by special order of the Board of Trustees for collections, bonuses referred to elsewhere, and expeditions, bringing the total approximately to $141,300.00. Pusucarions,—During the year four publications were issued, com- prising parts of four volumes, details of which follow: Pub. 201.—Anthropological Series, Vol. XV, No. 3. Sino-Iranica.

In addition to the publications distributed for exchange purposes, two hundred and sixty-eight have been sold to various individuals who were not in a position to offer equivalent literature as an exchange. THe Liprary.—There have been received by gift, exchange and pur- chase 1,716 books and pamphlets, an increase over last year’s receipts. The library contains 72,736 bound and unbound books and pamphlets. The following list shows the number of titles in each Department: eMC T ALY rch arias | cbicen vauuten) a; ene’ ae) vende sta: Vette MAS HZO2 Department of ‘Anthropology Minar wer kde eteracel ert alah coiste Wa OOS epercmont.of Botany 0.0. 6 eee. we 8 8 es 7,040 Department of Geology... 6 ei 6 6 6 ei we eee 10,675 Department of Zodlogy . 2. «© =» =» «© «+ © we ew ee 4,931 No especial event affecting the welfare of the library has occurred during the year; the endeavor has been to round out the work along the usual lines. With the activities of the curatorial staff largely engaged in preparations for moving to the new building, their requests for books were comparatively few during the first half of the year. With the ces- sation of that work and time again devoted to research their requests were renewed for books necessary for the study of material for installa- tion purposes. For immediate use forty-three works were purchased. An important gift was received from Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus of a rare and beautifully bound copy of Autograph Letters of Charles Darwin, written to J. Jenner Weir during the year 1868; also auto- graphed copies by Louis Agassiz. These are the initial contributions to a very interesting collection to be known as, Gunsaulus collection of personalia and souvenirs of eminent naturalists. Early in the year the first volume of The Monograph of the Pheasants, by William Beebe, was published by the New York Zodlogical Society; a beautifully il- lustrated work of these gorgeous birds in their native haunts, to be complete in four volumes. When the attention of Mr. Edward E. Ayer was called to the work he immediately subscribed to the set for the Ayer Ornithological Library of the Museum. Mr. Ayer has also presented copies of Seth-Smith’s Handbook of the Imported Species (parakeets), and Whitaker’s Birds of Tunisia. A number of desirable and valuable publications were received from contemporary institutions, both domes- tic and foreign, in exchange for the publications of the Museum. The number was especially noticeable because of the enormously enhanced cost of book-production. The Museum was most fortunate in receiving 308 Preto Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. from the Museum of Comparative Zoélogy, Harvard College, an almost complete set of its Memoirs, thirty-four volumes, covering the years 1864 to 1916. From the Sullivant Moss Society, New York City, was received a set to date of its publication, The Bryologist, in sixteen vol- umes. One hundred and seventeen books were bound during the year. While it ordinarily is unwise to keep separate numbers of serials and periodicals in an unbound condition, the prices of all materials used in binding having increased nearly one hundred per cent in the past few years, binding at present prices seems prohibitive. There were written and filed in the catalogues 18,054 cards. The monthly installment of author cards was received from the John Crerar Library. The Museum is unusually indebted this year to large libraries both in and out of Chicago for the loan of books that were necessary in the performance of its work; these courtesies are gratefully ac- knowledged, especially to the Library of Congress, the Library of the Department of Agriculture, the Surgeon General’s Library, the John Crerar Library and the Library of the University of Chicago. A list of all accessions received by the Library during the year will be found elsewhere in this report. . DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND Laseunc.—During the year, in the Department of Anthropology, the work of cataloguing has been carried on as new accessions were acquired, but this task was naturally eclipsed by the necessary preparations for moving collections into the new building. The total number of catalogue cards prepared amounts to 577. These cards were distributed over the single divisions as follows: China, Japan, and India 117; Melanesian Ethnology 325; South-West, Mexican, and South American Archzxology 125; and North American Ethnology ro. All these cards have been entered in the inventory books of the Department, which now number thirty- eight. The number of annual accessions amounts to twenty-five, nineteen of which have been entered. The total number of catalogue cards entered from the opening of the first volume amounts to 153,548. The photographer made 297 negatives and two enlargements, and sup- plied 370 prints to the Department, 160 of these referring to Japanese sword-guards. Twenty-four prints were added to the photographic albums kept in the Department. The printer delivered to the Depart- ment a total of 5,419 labels for use in exhibition cases. These labels are distributed as follows: New Guinea 1,939; Eskimo and Northwest Coast 2,622; Mexico 841; and China 17. The printer further supplied the Department with 700 catalogue cards. 373 new label cards were added to the label file. In the Department of Botany the entries made number 4,586, JAN., 1920.

The entries made during the year number sor. These were chiefly of specimens of the Klechner and Dahlgren col- lections. A few labels have been made to fill gaps in the series of ex- hibition labels. Owing to the inaccessibility of most of the study collections in the Department of Zoology, due to the preparation for removal to the new building, comparatively little cataloguing and labelling has been pos- sible. The total entries made during the year number 553. There have been added 153 new entries in the Division of Ichthyology and 87 in Herpetology. Data for these entries have been added to the card catalogue and the specimens have been duly labelled and tin-tagged. Labels have also been prepared for a considerable portion of the exhibi- tion collection in Ichthyology. Only 2 entries were made during the year in the Division of Osteology, an African elephant skull and a white rhinoceros skull received in exchange from the American Museum of Natural History. These were catalogued and index cards written to complete the record. In the Division of Mammalogy 6 catalogue entries were made and in the Division of Ornithology 305. The total entries to date number 101,014. The cards written during the year number 193, making a total of 34,406.

This remarkable and unique collection consists of 36 pre-Columbian gold ornaments, comprising four large embossed breast- plates of pure gold, two collars of gold foil, two rectangular plates, two fragmentary sheets of gold foil, one necklace of gold beads, four pairs of gold ear-rings, three cast figures of a bird, and eighteen miscellaneous ornaments. The four breastplates were beaten out on stone moulds carved in relief with the design required; they were apparently interred with women of high social standing, who were buried adorned with jewelry and ornaments they had most prized during their lifetime. Two of these plates are selected for illustration in this Report; also one of the birds and three of the ear-rings, which are exquisite both as to artistic quality of design and perfection of technique. The gold collec- tion has been installed in the Gem Room, and isaccompanied by ageneral labelsettingforthitssignificance. Ithasattracteda great deal of attention and given rise to many favorable comments, both in the press and on the part of archxologists. Mr. Stanley Field made a notable gift to the Department by adding to its Tibetan collection a fine portrait- statue, 22 inches high, wrought in cloisonné enamel and representing a Grand Lama of the Buddhist Church of Tibet. Comparison with other known images permits the establishment of the identity of this person- age. In all probability it is a portrayal of Pal-dan-ye-she, a church dignitary only next in rank to the Dalai Lama of Lhasa and having his seat in Tashilhunpo in central Tibet. He is known as the Tashi Lama, being famous for having been the first Tibetan, who in 1774 entered into negotiations with the Anglo-Indian Government through George Bogle, an emissary of Warren Hastings, Governor General of India. In his diary Bogle characterizes him thus: “His disposition is open, candid, and generous. He is extremely merry and entertaining in conversation, and tells a pleasant story with a great deal of humor and action. I endeavored to find out in his character those defects which are insepara- ble from humanity, but he is so universally beloved that I had no success, FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 311 and not a man could find in his heart to speak ill of him.” Subsequently, he received an invitation from the Emperor of China to come to Peking, where he spent a year in one of the Lama temples, highly honored by the whole country. In 1780 he died a mysterious death, at the age of forty-two, officially of small-pox, but more probably of poison ad- ministered by imperial jealousy and disapproval of his intercourse with the English. Technically his image is a masterpiece and the finest specimen of cloisonné in the Institution. The background is yellow to indicate the robe of imperial yellow silk conferred upon the hierarch by the Emperor. The designs woven in this robe are all skillfully brought out by the process of inlaid enamels and represent the eight Buddhistic emblems of happy augury,—canopy, wheel of the law, conch, umbrella, lotus, vase, knotted cords, and double fish. The mitre is decorated with two red dragons soaring in clouds. The pedestal is ornamented in front with two lions in green, playing with a ball, and two dragons pur- suing the flamed pearl; two elephants bearing tribute-gifts are shown on the sides, and three lotus-blossoms decorate the back of the base. Face and hands are gilt. Both composition and coloration are dignified and harmonious, and the statue conveys an excellent characterization of this historically interesting Grand Lama. Mr. Edward E. Ayer remembered the Department during the winter spent on the Pacific Coast, and a collection of six excellent krises, five from the Moham- medan Moro of the Philippines and one of Borneo manufacture, prob- ably from the Kenyah or Kayan, is due to his generosity. The Borneo blade is beautifully chased and inlaid with brass, while the ivory handle is decorated with elaborate carvings. Three of the Philippine knives have wavy blades, and two are of the straight blade variety. In the latter group is a specimen of particularinterest, because it is inlaid with a conventionalized floral pattern next to the hilt. A feather head-band used in the white-deer dance of the Indians of California, a good stone mortar with pestle, and a metate with muller, used by a child, were like- wise presented by Mr. Ayer. His further contribution during the year is a Sioux woman’s beaded dress of buckskin, taken by the late Lieut. Frederick Schwatka of the 3rd Cavalry from the village of the hostile Sioux chief, American Horse. This sleeveless, one-piece dress is probably unique owing to the large quantity of pink beads displayed over the back and breast extending onto the arms. This feature, together with its extraordinary state of preservation, makes it a museum specimen of the first order and now rarely encountered. A very unusual and beautiful ancient slate carving of the Haida on Queen Charlotte Islands, B. C., likewise obtained by Lieut. Schwatka at Victoria, B. C., in 1891, was presented by Mr. Martin A. Ryerson. It isa master- 312. Fretp Museum or Natvrat History — Reports, Vor. V. piece of primitive sculpture. During the year Mr. Homer E. Sargent made two notable additions to his previous extensive contribution of 1917. These comprise two Pueblo squaw dresses secured about thirty years ago, three excellent Navaho blankets of native wool and dyes, and a Salish blanket of mountain-sheep wool, all of which strengthen the former gift. The last-named blanket is illustrated in this Report. To the continued interest of Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus the Museum is further indebted for four remarkable additions,—first, a very important and most interesting collection coming from the native tribes of Formosa and brought to this country by S. Ishii, who for fifteen years has been chief of the Ethnological Survey of the Japanese Government on that island. It is well known that the task of the traveler and collector is fraught there with difficulties, expecially in view of the fact that the wild tribes are secluded in the high mountainous regions. There are in this collection two complete costumes, one worn by a warrior chief on head-hunting expeditions, and a woman’s dress. Other prominent features are three fine necklaces of agate and colored Venetian beads, which are highly prized by the natives and used for bartering purposes; several valuable wood carvings decorated with ar- tistic designs; large pieces of textiles; a sword with a wooden scabbard carved with interesting ornaments; the model of a dugout, and several carved tobacco pipes and musical instruments. In view of the close affinity of the culture of the Formosan tribes with that of the Philip- pines, especially northern Luzon, which, for instance, is brought out by the artistic decorations of these specimens, this new material is of con- siderable scientific interest. A number of interesting photographs and two albums illustrating scenes of native life are added to the collection, which, it is hoped, will be placed on exhibition in the new building and act as a stimulus for future research in Formosa. Dr. Gunsaulus likewise presented a fine decorated metal shield from India and a celadon flower-vase in the shape of an elephant. Four glazed, orna- mented porcelain tiles from Persia, due to his generosity, constitute a good beginning for a Persian collection. Miss Helen C. Gunsaulus donated a Japanese dagger with decorated sheath and hilt. Mrs. Henry J. Patten of Chicago presented an extraordinary ancient feather blanket from Rotorua, New Zealand, which was formerly the property of a Maori chief. A collection of 33 specimens from China was received from Mrs. Morgan S. Woodward of Chicago, being collected by herself at Peking in 1900, after going through the siege of the British | Legation by the Boxer rebels. Among these are some trophies captured by American soldiers from the Boxers, the most curious object being a large jingal, about sixty pounds in weight, and inscribed in Chineseas hav- — JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 313 ing been made in 1896in the Arsenal of Tientsin; such jingals were carried by two soldiers on their shoulders and fired by a third man standing behind. Mr. G. L. Fitz-William, chemical and mining engineer of Hammond, Indiana, presented the Museum with an important ethno- graphical collection from the San Blas Indians, whom he had visited and studied. At the donor’s request, this collection is to be named, in honor of his son, the “William Fitz-William Collection.” The material is an excellent and representative collection from a very interesting tribe on the Isthmus of Panama. While not far removed from contact with civilization, this people preserves its aboriginality and particularly its purity of blood tenaciously. While they have been much brought into the light of publicity of late, the San Blas are sel- dom visited, and their specimens are rarely seen in museums. The most interesting part of the collection consists of women’s garments, which are composed of many layers of bright colored cloths cut out in char- acteristic designs. Mr. G. F. Vivian contributed seven bows and thirty- six arrows from the Arawak of British Guiana, South America, collected by Dr. Geo. D. B. Dods; this is good and representative material, and there are several new types of arrows not heretofore in the Museum collection. Assistant Curator Mason presented eighteen ethnological and archeological objects from the Papago in Arizona, where he spent several weeks in the beginning of the year under a special leave of absence granted by the Institution. Mr. Joseph R. Morris of Deerfield, Illinois, donated twenty-three objects relating to Indian ethnology, collected at Fort Peck, Montana, in 1876. Among the prominent specimens in the lot are two choice blanket stripes, a buckskin gun-case, two splendid pouches, four knife-cases, and a netted wheel. Mr. Alfred R. Brown, Director of Education, Tonga, South Pacific, from whom the Museum purchased an Andaman Island collection in 1910, presented this year a small collection from the same group, which, while adding nothing new to the material on exhibition in the Museum, is of considerable scientific value. The technical culture of the aborigines of the Andaman Islands is not very rich, and at best yields a few weapons—chiefly bows and arrows,— some basketry, crude pottery, and scanty garments which are decorative and commemorative rather than for protection. All these are represented in this collection, and in addition a few modern imita- tions of the ancient bone-tipped arrows used in hunting and warfare. Included in the gift are two wood-carved images from the Nicobar Islands. One of these, the figure of a woman, is an excellent piece of native carving, and is a distinct addition to the exhibition collections. Such figures are believed to drive sickness and evil influences away from a house or village. While in Manokwari, Dutch New Guinea, in 314 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. December, 1912, Assistant Curator Lewis left a small sum in care of F. J. PF. van Hasselt, a missionary stationed there, for the purpose of obtaining specimens from the north coast of Dutch New Guinea. This missionary was in the habit of taking trips every year to various parts of the coast, and stated that in the course of two or three years he could easily make a fairly representative collection. Owing to long delays in shipping caused by war conditions, the material arrived here only in July of this year. The collection comprises over three hundred speci- mens from various places along the north coast of Dutch New Guinea, including some fine large wooden figures, house ornaments, and about twenty-five ancestral images, called korwar. These are rare and valu- able. Weapons, implements, household utensils, clothing and orna- ments are all well represented. This part of New Guinea has been more or less visited by Europeans for many years, and very little of original native workmanship is at present to be had. The influx of the nu- merous Chinese and Malays settled along the coast has also tended to destroy or modify the native industries. Hence, but little from this region can be obtained, and that often betrays foreign influence. The Department of Botany received the following important ad- ditions to its herbarium during the year: From the Philippine Bureau of Sciences 646 plants of the Philippines; Miss Anna King 300 specimens from Illinois; Paul C. Standley 285 Mexican plants of Arséne and Nicolas; B. F. Bush 70 plants of Missouri; Geological Survey of Canada 248 Canadian plants; Mrs. Stanley Field Plant Reproduction Section 102 plants of Georgia and Florida; Bernice Pauhai Bishop Museum 262 Hawaiian plants; The New York Botanical Garden 507 West Indian plants; C. F. Millspaugh 65 Wisconsin plants; H. M. Denslow 73 New England plants, and F. E. McDonald 63 plants of Illinois.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 317 only for the amount of the material contained in it, but also for its well- prepared condition. The collection consists of two principal series, one chiefly of remains of mastodons obtained in Minooka, Illinois, and the other of specimens of mosasaurs from Kansas. The mastodon material includes remains of eight individuals, which range in age from a young calf to an adult. Of one large, adult male, portions of the skull, complete lower jaws, many limb bones, vertebrae, ribs and foot bones are preserved, as well as a tusk nine feet in length, probably the largest tusk of an animal of this species ever found. The other individu- als of this series are represented by various skeletal parts, an especially important feature being that the entire tooth development of the masto- don is shown by specimens ranging from the first milk teeth to the ponderous, grinding molars of the male adult. Of the collection il- lustrating mosasaurs, the most important feature is two nearly perfect skulls, one two feet, the other eighteen inches in length which have been carefully excavated from their matrix and mounted free. These display in remarkable completeness the characters of the heads of these extinct “sea serpents.’? Some vertebrae are also associated with these skulls. A large jaw of a Columbian mammoth and a head of the fossil fish, Gillicus, also are included in the collection. Three complete individuals from the meteorite fall which occurred at Cumberland Falls, Kentucky, in April of this year, have been added to the meteorite collection, one being the gift of Mr. W. R. Jillson. The meteorites of this fall are of peculiar interest on account of their unique composition and structure. Of the meteorites of Richardton, North Dakota, which fell June 30, 1918, four individuals, aggregating about ten pounds in weight, were ob- tained, partly by purchase and partly by exchange with Professor T. T. Quirke. By exchange with the British Museum, representative speci- mens of the Baroti, Kuttipuram and Warbreccan meteorites were secured. A specimen of amethyst showing remarkable distribution of color, and two valuable crystals of scheelite were presented by Mr. W. J. Chalmers as additions to the Chalmers crystal collection. Several specimens of high-grade gold ore from Cripple Creek, Colorado, showing considerable free gold, were presented with other material by Mrs. G. Mace, and a collection containing, among other specimens, several minerals used in optical work was received by gift from Dr. Geo. M. Gill. By exchange with Prof. M. E. Kleckner, about one hundred speci- mens of crystallized celestite, fluorite, calcite and sphalerite from locali- ties in Ohio and Michigan and of forms previously unrepresented in the Museum were obtained. Six specimens of typical Barbadoes earth and one of globigerina marl from the Barbadoes Islands were obtained by exchange with the University of Iowa. These illustrate deposits of 318 Preto Museum or Naturar History — Reports, Vor. V. deep-sea origin which also have industrial uses. Dr. B. E. Dahlgren during his stay in Florida and other southern states collected for the department about one hundred and thirty geological specimens chiefly from Florida, but also from localities in Kentucky and Tennessee. These included sixteen specimens of varicties of soils, marls, mucks and sands characteristic of certain portions of Florida; several large specimens of coquina, illustrating the varieties and forms which characterize the structure of this peculiar aggregate, and ninety specimens of inverte- _ brate fossils, partly from recent formations in Florida and partly from formations of Chester age in Kentucky and Tennessee. The principal accession during the year in the Division of Mammal- ogy was secured by gift from Col. Dale Bumstead of Oak Park. It consists of three well-prepared skins and skulls of the Lower California mountain sheep and several skulls of mule deer. The Division of Ornithology received 217 bird skins, 67 of which represent a part of the Museum's share from the Collins-Day expedition. An African elephant skull and a white rhinoceros skull were received as an exchange from the American Museum of Natural History. Among the additions made to the shell collection is a gift from Mr. Giuseppe Despott of the Natural History Museum in Malta, which consists of 433 named and well labeled specimens from the Maltese Islands. The fact that the Museum had few shells from these islands adds to the value of this acquisition. There were 949 Shells and ro crustaceans added to the Department during the year. A total of 63 specimens of insects was received, of which number $7 were a gift and 6 an exchange. The accessions in the Division of Ichthyology and Herpetology consisted chiefly of gifts, totaling 284 specimens. The most important of these is a collection of thirty amphi- bians and reptiles from the Mississippi River Valley, presented by Mr. J. W. Mackelden of St. Louis. Mr. Leon L. Pray, Mr. William J. Gerhard, Mr. Herbert L. Stoddard, and others, added a number of desiderata to the collection of Illinois and Indiana snakes. Mr. Stoddard also donated a collection of wall lizards, taken by him while in the service in France. Mr. J.G. Sinclair presented a few amphibians and reptiles from Arizona, Mr. M. H. Sackheim three from New Mexico, and Mr. Charles L. Hubbs several from southern California. EXPEDITIONS AND FieLo Worx.—Finds of remains of mastodon at two localities, Monee, Illinois, and Leiter’s Ford, Indiana, were investigated by Assistant Curator Riggs. The mode of the occurrence of the bones at these localities was studied, some exploration conducted at the sites and negotiations entered into with the owners of the specimens which may result in securing desirable material later. As a result of a trip to Porcupine, Ontario, Canada, gold-mining district, a number of: typical ‘soinjeoto snouostod asay} jo yeyIqQeY ey} Jo UoNsossns v YIM sjUNOU yorqe} UO pol]eysuy “SNOIdHYOOS dIHM GNV SNOIdHOOS snoiauoos “IAX17 ALVW1d ‘SLYOd3uY “AYOLSIH IVWHYNLYN JO WNASNW 14314 — JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 319 ores and rocks of the region were secured by Assistant Curator Nichols. Assistant Curator Hubbs carried on some local field work for the Depart- ment of Zodlogy, obtaining a number of specimens for mounting in small groups, as well as a series of certain species for the study collection. INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, PERMANENT ImPROVEMENT——Most of the time of the members of the staff of the Department of Anthropology was consumed by the complex preparations in connection with the moving operations, chiefly assembling, sorting, and arranging mate- rial for packing, dismantling and charting cases, preparing and labeling material for future installation in the new building, and keeping exact records of the location of packed material. As a sequel to this labor, all plans previously prepared for the halls of the new building were sub- jected to a thorough revision and to numerous modifications. Frequent visits were made to the new building by members of the staff, and the study of actual conditions permitted the visualizing of the situation more correctly than was possible from the floor plans. The total result of this year’s packing in the Department of Anthropology may be summed up in dry figures as follows: 615 exhibition cases, 320 boxes, 457 crates, 76 cartons, 80 bundles or packages in burlap, and 27 kegs and barrels. All these items have been properly labeled and numbered. The process of packing may be regarded as practically completed. There were prepared for installation in the new building ror cases, covering the Eskimo and the tribes of the northwest Coast of America, the Coast and Interior Salish, and the Plateau Indians. This required the complete or partial dismantling of 123 cases formerly on exhibi- tion. In conformity with the new principles of installation, all dupli- cate material was eliminated, which has resulted in a net saving of twenty-two cases. In the new arrangement, also a considerable quan- tity of material formerly in storage is placed on exhibition, while many large specimens which have stood in the open, or have been attached to the walls, are now safely sheltered behind glass. It has been the endeavor to arrange the material in geographical and cultural sequence using an adequate number of specimens to illustrate the every-day, esthetic, and religious life of the people. In the Divisions of Archaeology and Ethnology twenty-two cases were arranged for future installation in the new building. These refer to the archaeology of Colombia and Mexico and to the ethnology of the Upper Amazon, Central Brazil and Paraguay. In most instances, all available material was selected for exhibition, but surplus and duplicate objects have been relegated to study and exchange collections. Special care has been taken of the group cases. A detailed plan of each has been made to be utilized in the new building for the reconstruction of the groups. Reproductions 320 reco Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. of three Hopi altar-mosaics of the Powamu ceremony in papier-maché and in their correct colors have been made, which may eventually replace the present mosaics of sand. In view of the importance of the packing operations, the repair section of the Department was tempor- arily closed until October rst. Careful attention was devoted to the treatment of the Egyptian sculptural stones in the Department, which was carried on under the supervision of the Curator of Geology. The results thus far obtained are very satisfactory. Seventy-five cases were cleaned and poisoned during the year. The appointment of Miss Helen C. Gunsaulus as Assistant Curator of Japanese Ethnology, permits the systematic and intelligent study and disposition of con- siderable material in this division already in the possession of the De- partment of Anthropology. Miss Gunsaulus brings to the work she has undertaken, studious habit and special training, with enthusiasm and aptness for museum practice, as the work thus far done upon the collections in this division gives evidence. The Department of Botany installed no cases during the year, the time of the staff being expended in packing for removal to the new building. All the exhibition cases in the department were securely packed for transportation; this packing being so done that the contents of each case may be returned thereto with a minimum of time expended. Such specimens as could not be fastened securely im situ in the cases, were enclosed in cartons and packed in the lockers of the cases to which they pertain. The base lockers in each case were utilized for packing. In them were placed all duplicate and study specimens, each in an individual paper box or corrugated paper parcel, and all bottles enclosed in “egg-case’”’ partitioned cartons designed to fit the bottles. Thus the specimens of each case remain with the case to which they pertain. Lockers not needed for the case contents were packed with bundles of mounted plants belonging to the herbarium collections. The exhibition cases are now all ready for removal and labeled as to the hall and spot on the floor of each hall that they are to occupy in the new building. Notwithstanding this packing, a large number of the cases are still on creditable exhibit, not materially disturbed though fully ready for transportation. In addition to the exhibition case packing, over 480 numbered boxes and crates of material have been packed for removal. In all cases a complete record has been kept of the packages it has been made ready for packing while still referable. This and the appurtenances of the offices and laboratories can be prepared for removal promptly after transportation actually begins. The plant — reproductions made in the Mrs. Stanley Field Laboratories, have been JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 3at left on exhibition in their regular places in each case. These will remain so installed until the moving force begins operations. The work of the staff of the Mrs. Stanley Field Laboratories has not been interrupted. The first four and a half months of the year were spent in Miami, Florida, where the laboratory and garden of the Plant Introduction Station of the U. S. Department of Agriculture served as headquarters and furnished facilities and accommodation. For this the Museum is indebted to Mr. David Fairchild, Agricultural Explorer in charge of the Plant Introduction Bureau of Plant Industry in Washington, and to Mr. Edward Simmonds, Superintendent of the Garden and Field Station in Miami, to the former for liberally extending to the Museum the privi- leges of the laboratory and station, and to the latter for innumerable acts of kindness and assistance, which made it possible to pursue the work successfully here. Thanks are also due to Mrs. Simmonds and the members of the staff of the Department of Agriculture who were stationed at the Laboratory during the past winter, viz., Dr. J. Rosen- baum, plant pathologist, Mr. Chas. E. Sando, plant physiologist, and Mr. Max Kisliuk, entomologist. The friendly and helpful attitude of all these men was a matter greatly to be appreciated in the rather narrow quarters of the laboratory. The main object of transferring the work to Florida for the winter was to secure studies and material for certain desirable plants which could be had and handled there more readily and economically than anywhere, namely: the Cocoanut palm, the Banana, the Pineapple, the Florida Cycad (Zamia), etc. The material needed for the reproduction of the specimens was secured. The most perishable parts were cast and colored and plaster moulds were made of other parts, formalin material packed and sent to the Museum, and photographs, color sketches and detail studies secured for use after return. At the same time there were found in the Plant Introduction Garden a number of interesting plants which fitted exactly into the plans for the Museum botanical exhibits. Such were, for in- stance, the South African Carissa or Natal Plum, introduced into the United States in r901 by Mr. Fairchild and now grown as a hedge plant in many places in southern Florida. This is an excellent example of the type of plant which can scarcely be reproduced successfully except in the field, where it can be studied from day to day as the work progresses. The Silk Cotton tree, Bombax, with its large crimson flowers furnishes another such illustration. One of these flowers was made on the spot during the week or ten days the tree was in blossom. On the strength of this and the moulds which were made at the same time, a splendid branch of the Silk Cotton tree has been added to the exhibits. Another introduced South African plant of much interest found growing in the 322 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. subtropical garden was a scrubby tree of the Strychnine family, Strych- mos spinosus, with large green or yellow fruit superficially resembling a grapefruit, but with a hard shell and chocolate colored pulp of pleasant taste and a clove like fragrance. A flowering and fruiting branch of this has also been added to the exhibits. One of the main lines of investiga- tion and experimental culture pursued at the garden concerns Avocadoes, or Alligator Pears. Numerous varieties from diverse localities are being tried out here, with a view to the introduction into Florida of those found most suitable and valuable for general cultivation. Three thoroughly well-defined types, a Guatemalan, a Mexican and a West Indian, together with a Guatemalan-Mexican hybrid, were considered of sufficient public interest to be added to the collection. Of these reproductions were made. A number of other plants especially desired by the Department for its exhibits were collected and cast or modeled in part during the period in Miami. Such are the Seven-year Apple (Casasia), Pandanus, the Screw-pine, in flower; Casuarina Australian Pine or Beef-wood tree, Long staple Cotton, Water Hyacinth, etc. A pitcher-plant of the southern large-leaved, yellow flowered species, Sarracenia flava, was collected on the return to Chicago in the latter part of May. A single pitcher of this plant, measuring 38 inches, has since been reproduced and placed on exhibition. Some tubers and plants which were brought back in a living condition are being grown for the Museum by the Garfield Park greenhouse. Among these are a large Yam, a Zamia, etc. A Spider Lily (Hymenocallis caribaea) from Florida, grown at Garfield Park, has been reproduced as a type of Amaryllid lily. Within the last few months a Banana plant (a flowering and fruiting specimen) has been reproduced complete and has been installed tempora- rily on the gallery. Also a sprouted Cocoanut showing the relation of the seedling plant to the seed and old husk; a Cocoanut flower enlarged; the flowers of Casuarina enlarged; enlarged flowers of Scrophularia; enlarged flowers of Sagitiaria; a branch of a Quince from Fort Valley, Georgia; a witches’-broom on the Sand pine; a mounted dry specimen of air plant (Tillandsia); a reproduction of the Natal Plum, a branch with fruits and flowers. A set of tomatoes, parasitized by the different fungi that constitute the main pests of this industry, were obtained at the Miami Laboratory, where this matter was being investigated, and were reproduced for the economic collections. At the same time pure cultures of the fungi in question were furnished by the plant-pathologist, and it is the intention of the Department to exhibit in connection with the affected fruit a model of each fungus sufficiently enlarged to make its structure plain to the naked eye. A longitudinal section of a common — Fig enlarged, together with a corresponding model of the male fig, or JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 323 capri-fig, has just been completed. It shows as plainly as such models can the interesting and peculiar story of the pollination of the fig, and the intricate life-history of the minute hymenopterous insect concerned. A flowering branch of Grevillea robusta Australian oak, with the enlarged flowers modeled last year, completes the illustration of the Proteaceae. A summary of the results of the year’s work in this Section is as follows: Reproductions completed and placed on exhibition: Banana, entire plant in flower and leaf; Sprouting cocoanut, entire plant; Carissa grandiflora, fruit and flower branch of leaf; Cydonia japondas, branch in fruit and leaf; Scrophularia Marylandica, flower enlarged; Hymeno- calles caribea, entire plant; Strychnos spinosus, fruit and flower in leaf; Sagittaria latifobia, flower enlarged; Casuarina equisetifolia, flower enlarged; Casasza clusiiflolia, branch fruiting and leafing; Bombax grandiflora, branch flowering and leafing; Grevillea robusta, branch flowering and in leaf; Rhizoctonia solani, Macrosporium solani, Phyto- phtora infestans, Phoma destructiva, on Lycopersicum esculentum; also parts of Zamia, Cocoa, Amanas and Gossypium. In the Department of Geology some installation has been performed, chiefly for the purpose of putting some mounts into such condition that they could be moved with safety. Tothis end, mounting ofalargeskele- ton of Megacerops was completed and the mount placed in a case in which it is at present exhibited and can probably be transported. This skeleton is made up entirely of the bones of a single individual and is very nearly anatomically complete, only two or three vertebrae being missing. A few of the limb bones were modeled from corresponding parts on the opposite side, but this was done with entire accuracy by casting. The skeleton is the only one of this genus which has as yet been mounted in any museum, and is the first specimen to show that the members of the genus were long-tailed animals. It was among the most primitive of the Oligocene titanotheres and was about the size of the modern black rhinoceros. The skeleton is mounted in three-quarters relief. The matrix, base and background against which the skeleton is shown have been made of plaster, colored to imitate the greenish clay in which the specimen wasfound. The plaster has also been tooled in such a manner as to suggest the excavation of the skeleton from the matrix. The posture is that of an animal in life, the skeleton being supported on its feet. The head, neck, torso and right limbs are, however, connected with the background for support, and the feet are partially enclosed in the matrix. Iron rods, made as inconspicuous as possible, have been introduced to support the left limbs. The specimen was collected in South Dakota in 1898 by a Museum expedition. After dismounting some of the dinosaur specimens for packing, the opportunity was im- 324 Frecp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vou. V. proved to make some modifications in the positions of the bones which study had shown would more correctly represent their relations. Some readjustments of the installation of the meteroite collection have been made in order to introduce new specimens and group more closely the different classes. Packing of exhibited specimens has been carried on as rapidly as possible during the year, and as a result the contents of two hundred and forty-one cases have been made ready for shipment, leaving only thirty-eight cases still to be packed. In addition, the work of packing the remaining study and stored collections has been carried on and brought to completion except for some specimens now stored in the basement. Practically all material exhibited on bases, such as the large fossil vertebrate mounts, has also, with the exception of the large dinosaur, been disassembled as far as was necessary and made ready for transportation. In choosing the sequence of collections for packing, those in halls somewhat removed from the main passageways were taken first, in order that the movements of visitors might be interfered with as little as possible while the work of packing was going on. All but three halls of the Department have now been closed to the public, and their contents packed. In these three remaining halls many of the specimens have been packed in such a way as to make them still available for observation. In packing, owing to we weight and hardness of many of the specimens on exhibition in the Department, it was found necessary to remove most of them from the cases and place them in boxes of sizes and shapes suitable for their transportation. In so doing considerable attention was paid to recording the position of the speci- mens in the cases in such a way as to ensure their rapid and accurate reinstallation on their arrival at the new building. For this purpose each case was given an arbitrary number which includes the temporary number of the hall to which the case is to be sent in the new building. This number has also an absolute value, and is to be retainedfor the case even if another location for the case should be decided upon. Before remov- ing the specimens from the case, each specimen was given a number showing the location of the specimen within the case, the numbering being in a uniform order for each case, where the specimens were installed in such @ manner as to permit. Thus a number 3-10 indicates that in rein- stallation the specimen is to be placed on the third shelf from the top of the case and tenth in position from the left end of the shelf. A label bearing this installation number is wrapped with each specimen and on the reverse side of the corresponding printed label a similar number is penciled. In some cases the installation numbers of the specimens were marked on slips which were then fastened in the cases in the positions which the specimens occupied. In other cases, especially where the JAN., 1920 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 325 installation did not fall into orderly lines, sketches were made on cross- section paper which showed in each case the amount and position of the space occupied by each specimen; the spaces were then numbered and corresponding numbers were wrapped with the specimens and penciled on the labels. The sketch itself was then in each instance fastened inside the corresponding case, so as to prevent its being transferred to any other exhibit. Specimens mounted upon tablets, which include most of the invertebrate fossils, were, for the most part, fastened securely in drawers underneath the cases. Sketches of the positions of the tablets in the cases were first made and numbered and corresponding numbers were penciled on the reverse sides of the tablets. Upon the outside of all packages and boxes containing specimens removed from cases, large department labels similar to those fastened inside the exhibition cases have been placed, giving the corresponding hall and case numbers, so as to insure constant connection of the specimens with the case. There is, further, painted on each package or box a brief label in the department color which describes the nature of the contents. A record has also been prepared in book form which shows in detail the numbers and forms of the exhibition cases and in adjoining columns the halls and alcoves in which the cases are to be placed. As containers for specimens to be packed, boxes and barrels were chiefly used, boxes of the size 36” x 20” x 14” being found especially suitable. Several thousand cartons and small wooden boxes were also employed, either as shipment units or for enclosing individual specimens or groups of specimens in larger boxes. Specimens which would be injured by moving in any other than an upright position were fastened in the exhibition cases. The method for fastening usually adopted was that of screwing metal studs into the metal strips used for supporting brackets at the back of the case and fastening wooden strips on the front of the studs in such a manner as to firmly enclose the specimen and its accompaniment of packing mate- rial. Other specimens of such shape that their transportation in boxes would be unsafe, were similarly packed in the cases, and the speci- men labels have generally been packed in the cases in which they were originally exhibited. The packing of the fossil collections especially called for varied handling according to weight, mass and fragility. Much storage material which was still in the plaster and burlap wrapping in which it came from the field, was packed in strong boxes of 7 inch lumber. The collections stored in wooden trays, consisting mostly of specimens that had partially been removed from the matrix, were packed in the trays. Specimens in smaller containers, such as paper trays, were wrapped with the trays, each with its label enclosed, and the whole packed snugly in wooden trays by the use of excelsior. These trays 326 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. were then stacked to form units of 15 inches in height, the uppermost tray being turned bottom up so as to form a cover. The whole was then formed into a bale. This proved not only the quickest and most effective means of packing, but had the advantage of keeping the specimens in the same trays which are to serve as storage for them in the new building. The large casts, such as those of Megatherium and Had- rosaurus were taken down and crated in sections. The head and legs were removed, and the thorax reenforced by longitudinal rods lashed across the ribs and secured at either end. All were then crated in units of such size as to permit easy transportation. Smaller skeletons, such as those of the Irish Deer, Glyptodon and Uintatherium were crated on their bases, with the heads removed when too large to be readily enclosed. Smaller skeletons of a fragile nature were, with their bases, placed in light crates, and were secured by a series of cordage stays running to the sides of the crates. Thus secured, the specimens were returned to the exhibition cases and fastened in position either by means of wires running to iron straps in the back of the case or by blocks screwed to the bottom of the case. Specimens packed in exhibition cases in this way are believed to be assured a safer handling than those placed in unprotected crates. Smaller specimens, such as skulls, were generally packed in paper cartons and secured in the exhibition cases either by blocks or by long, wooden braces fastened to iron studs screwed into the perforated and threaded strips designed to support the shelf- brackets. In some instances, however, the cartons were packed in large, wooden boxes. Very large skulls, such as those of Titanotherium and Eobasileus, were packed in special wooden crates and the whole returned to the exhibition cases to be moved in them. The Miocene camel skeleton was packed by disarticulating the legs, removing the head and pelvis, and supporting the torso on short, upright rods attached to a temporary base. The whole was then fastened firmly in an exhibition case. A number of heavy and fragile objects, such as specimens of Daemonelix and dinosaur bones, required re-enforcing. This was accom- plished by the use of plaster and burlap, plaster and iron rods or a combination of all these. Since the spirals of Daemonelix made up of loosely-cemented sand, would little more than bear their own weight when in an upright position, they were, before removal from the ex- hibition case, reenforced with plaster and strips of burlap. To guard against possible breakage and crumbling, four quarter-inch rods were laid across the spirals parallel to their main axes. The peripheries of the spirals were then wound with plaster bandages which, crossing the _ rods at every turn, bound the whole firmly together. The mounts of dinosaur limbs were taken down and each large bone crated separately. Wd 7, Vee ae JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 327 Previously to crating, the bones were covered with tissue paper to pre- vent the plaster from adhering to their finished surfaces, 2x4 inch timbers were fitted to the surfaces thus prepared, and all was lashed fast with plaster and burlap bandages. A similar treatment was given the large skull of Triceratops, which, owing to its thin and brittle substance, re- quired especial care. Secure packing of the six hundred specimens of crude petroleum also presented a problem of some difficulty. These oils were exhibited in glass-stoppered bottles eighteen inches high and an inch and a quarter in diameter. No practicable method of sealing the stoppers oil-tight without defacing the bottles was found, since leakage was to be expected if the bottles were not maintained in an upright position. It was necessary also to avoid the use of excelsior or other finely divided packing material which might, in case of accident, become saturated with oil. Accordingly the stoppers were secured against loosening by tying caps of cheesecloth over them. ‘The bottles were then placed in light, wooden boxes each of a size to hold thirty and of a height to allow one-quarter of the length of each bottle to project. To each box two pieces of heavy straw board were fitted, one two inches from the bottom and one over the top, and in these boards holes slightly larger than the diameter of the bottles were cut. When the bottles were threaded through these holes they were held flexibly but securely in position, and the upper quarter of the bottles projecting above the box was covered by crating which permitted a free view of the character of the contents and will protect the box from being inverted or roughly handled. To further facilitate carrying the bottles in proper positions, each box was equipped with suitable handles. The larger bottles of the collection, some of them eighteen inches in diameter, were similarly packed, though in specially made crates. Boxes of special sizes were also provided for the collection of marbles, the size chosen being such as to permit rapid packing and avoid too great weight. Of the series on exhibition in the West Court, the relief maps and the large model of the moon have been taken down and packed, leaving only the mete- orite, crystal and gem collections now on exhibition. Packing has been actively pursued in the Department of Zodlogy dur- ing the year. The only material in the Division of Mammalogy and Ornithology not ready for moving consists of the large habitat groups and the study collection of birds. The entire serial exhibition col- lections of mammals and birds have been secured 7m situ in their cases by means of cleats and braces or other devices to hold them securely in place. The study collection of mammals has been fully packed, mostly in original containers and the rooms in which they were kept have been dismantled. When not engaged in packing, one assistant has continued 328 Fretp Museum or Natvrat History — Reports, Vor. V. in the preparation of plant accessories for the several large mammal groups still uncompleted, the Olympic elk group, the bison group, and the capybara group. The taxidermists have finished the preliminary models and manikins for a single Alaska moose. A giraffe and a hippo- potamus are partly finished and practically ready for installation. The entire collection of the Division of Ichthyology and Herpetology was packed during the year and is now ready for shipment to the new build- ing. The Section of Taxidermy has prepared the accessories for a number of small groups of local fishes and has been engaged in mounting certain fishes to fill in gaps in the synoptic series, which it is planned to make comparatively complete. In the Division of Entomology over three months at the beginning of the year were devoted to preparations for moving. As the entomological collections can be packed rather expeditiously and as it was unwise to render them inaccessible for any great length of time, the members of this Division assisted in the prepa- ration of other material for removal. A large part of the year has been devoted to the making of two insect groups for a new case that was designed and built to accommodate them. One of the groups will repre- sent the most conspicuous and characteristic insects of the sand dune region at Miller, Indiana, and the other will show the well known and destructive tomato worm in all its stages and with wax reproductions of its natural surroundings, etc. For specimens, casts of burrows, leaves and other accessory material, local field trips were made whenever they were considered necessary. While neither of the two groups has yet been finished, both have been so far advanced toward completion that they will be ready for installation by the latter part of January. The Division of Osteology packed fifteen exhibition cases with mounted skeletons and eighty-nine crates and boxes of various sizes, such as those _ for the whale, elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus and camel, including small ones for small ligamentary skeletons and skulls, which are now ready for removal. The skeletons, numbering twenty-seven (mostly ligamentary), that could not be packed in the condition they were in, — were remounted. THE N. W. HaRAis PuBLiC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. — At the close of the year there were 646 cases available for circulation among the public schools of Chicago. In view of the painstaking me- thods employed in the taxidermy and accessory work of all zoSlogical groups, it is with pride and pleasure that attention is called to the fact that of the total cases available for circulation, fifty-eight a cases were completed during the past year. . When plans were being formulated for the actual loantag of Gan the public schools, it was the opinion of a committee composed of school JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 329 principals that only schools of elementary grades would be best served with loan cases. This idea has been followed out from the inauguration of the system up to the present time. During the next scholastic year the high schools, at the written request of Mr. J. E. Armstrong, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, will be scheduled to receive cases. In his request Mr. Armstrong said of the cases, “‘I have studied them with great interest and am firmly of the opinion that they would be of very great assistance in the high schools.” The Superintendent of the Municipal Pier formally requested cases be placed on exhibition on the pier during the period of school vacation, as was done last year. His request was granted and twenty-four cases were placed on exhibition there during the time specified. When the cases were returned to the Museum the Superintendent expressed his thanks and added, “‘I believe I am voicing the thanks also of a large body of visitors who found entertainment and instruction in leisurely contemplating your beautiful exhibits and the lessons they teach.” In reptile and similar branches of taxidermy the employment of the skin of a specimen for mounting has not given satisfactory results. The effects usually obtained being a shrunken and parchment-like surface and a fading and disappearance of the natural colors. As these faults seemed impossible to remedy, the use of the specimen’s skin for mount- ing purposes has practically been abandoned. Better, though not en- tirely approved results, have been derived by making, in plaster, cellu- loid and other materials, casts of specimens, which were afterwards painted to represent the natural colors. Painting on the surface of a skin or on a cast has never brought an effect comparable with the living model. In order to produce an effect more natural in appearance than that accomplished by the use of the skin or by casts, this Department has been, at intervals during the past year, experimenting with pyralin, celluloid and similar materials. With celluloid as a medium it is found possible to make reproductions of a character so closely resembling the structure and coloring of the skin of the living specimen as to eliminate the necessity of painting it, thus displacing the objectionable appearance of paint as it is usually employed. Experiments have also been made in foliage reproducing in celluloid, using electro-deposited metal molds which possess strength sufficient to withstand the pressure required in the molding operations. The strength and elasticity of the celluloid is such as to correct the objectionable necessity of making the artificial leaf unnaturally thick. During the year a request was received from Mr. H. Bolton, Director, Museum and Art Gallery, Bristol, England, and Secretary, Educational Section, The British Association for the Advancement of Science, for 330 Fiero Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. information concerning the work and scope of this Department, the data thus provided to be placed before the Association’s meeting at — Bournemouth in September. A request was made for the loan of several cases by the Woodlawn Branch of the Chicago Public Library. | The Director of the Orthogenic Department of Rush Medical Col- — lege, University of Chicago, visited this Department and after makinga — careful study of the cases on hand, requested the loan from time to time — of several of them, Se ee et ee backward children, classes of which are conducted by that college. The request was granted and two cases of economic material were loaned.
