A FURTHER STUDY OF VARIATION IN THE
GOPHER-SNAKES OF WESTERN NORTH
AMERICA
BY
JOHN VAN DENBURGH
Curator, Department of Herpetology
In August of last year the writer and Joseph R. Slevin pub-
lished the results of a study of some three hundred specimens
of Pituophis from western North America’. Probably no one
who has not undertaken such a study can realize the amount of
time and effort necessary for gathering, analyzing, digesting,
and formulating the data derived from such a mass of material
as was involved in our earlier study of the garter-snakes of the
genus Thamnophis. The time and effort expended were so
great that in the subsequent study of Pitwophis the attempt was
made to reach conclusions without so much attention to detail.
The result was that, while the conclusions reached were valu-
able and probably correct, as far as they went, they never have
been satisfactory as a solution of the problems in variation and
distribution offered by this genus. Further study of the data
published in that paper indicated the probability that the snakes

Type: Cat. No. 4497, Berry Collection. Paratypes in pri-
vate collection of George Willett.
Type Locality: Alt. 3500 ft., Pine Canyon, Sespe Creek,
Ventura County, California; George Willett, March 24, 1919;
dead but fresh shells of 10 adults, and 14 juvenals of various
stages, both living and dead, found in rock slides. One living
and three dead adults taken at same locality in 1916 or 1917.
Remarks: The shell of this beautiful snail is easily the
largest, finest, and most richly colored of any of the traski-
group. In some respects it reminds one of the large mountain
species, petricola, and like it has suffered a considerable reduc-
tion in the spiral sculpture usually so characteristic of the snails
of this group. Nevertheless I believe its relationships are
rather with the true traskii, an opinion which is fortified by the
color and general texture of the shell and periostracum, quite
different from the light, Sonerella-like gloss of petricola.
The majority of the specimens are in an excellent state of
preservation and are remarkably constant in their characters.
They appear to represent an unusually well marked race, not
especially near to any of the previously described subspecies.
60 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Proc. 4TH Ser.
Its chief taxonomic features are the large size, depressed spire,
wide umbilicus, weakly developed spiral sculpture (especially
on the base), rich brown color, and prominent spiral banding.
Dead shells of what appears to be the same subspecies are
before me from Sespe Canyon above the mouth of Tar Creek,
collected by Harold Hannibal, and from Matilija Canyon, col-
lected by H. N. Lowe, in May, 1919. Both localities are in
Ventura County.
Epiphragmophora petricola orotes, new subspecies
(Plate 4, figs. 5a-5d; plate 6)
Diagnosis: Shell thin, translucent, depressed-conic, con-
spicuously umbilicate, the umbilicus deep, permeable to the
apex, and having a diameter about one-ninth the greater diame-
ter of the shell. Whorls about 51%, convex, the last descending
somewhat in front. Aperture oval and very oblique (45°).
Edges of peristome converging and connected by a thin, very
delicate, parietal callus. Lip but little thickened and only very
slightly reflected save at the pillar, where it tends to cover the
edge of the umbilicus.
Periostracum more or less glossy, often showing quite a
high polish. Lines of growth fine and numerous. First half
turn weakly radially costate, with a few scattered papillz; next
three-fourths of a whorl finely, closely granulose, with fine,
weak incremental costations, and, over all, traces of larger
papillz; granulation present to some extent on all remaining
whorls, but of diminished importance as compared with the
suddenly much increased incremental lines and the papillz;
latter now seen to be ranked, at least primarily, in the usual
obliquely retractively slanting series, almost quincuncially ar-
ranged, but the appearance of regularity often lost; maximum
development of these papillae attained on the upper surface of
the third whorl, still strong on the penultimate whorl, but prac-
tically absent from the body whorl except along the suture and
within the umbilicus; spiral sculpture very poorly developed,
only a few interrupted traces of incised threading being dis-
tinguishable on the upper third of the last two whorls, even
these becoming entirely obsolete below.

Color a warm golden brown, running fairly near a tawny-
olive, becoming a little paler and yellower on the base, and
with a conspicuous dark (liver brown) band of a width of
about 1.5 mm. on the shoulder, bordered above and below by a
rather narrower band of a few tints lighter than the body of
the shell.

Type: Cat. No. 3905, Berry Collection.
Type Locality: Altitude 2500 feet, near trail, south fork of
Warm Spring Canyon, San Bernardino Mountains, California ;
under logs; Allyn G. Smith, December 26, 1917; one specimen.
Additional Localities: Alt. 3700 feet, near trail just south-
east of summit, Warm Spring Canyon, San Bernardino Moun-
tains, California; Allyn G. Smith, December 26, 1917; two
specimens.
Alt. 6500 feet, west wall of Bridal Veil Falls Canyon near
mouth, above Forest Home, San Bernardino Mountains, Cali-
fornia, in talus; E. P. Chace, May 24, 1918; nine fully mature
living specimens, several dead and young. (No. 3988 above are
part of this lot. )
Remarks: This neat little helicoid is practically a miniature
race of the large E. petricola Berry (:16, p. 107), with which
alone it would seem to require any special comparison. From
this it differs not only in its much smaller size, but also in its
thinner shell, more polished periostracum, and still further re-
duction of the spiral sculpture. It occurs in the same general
region of the San Bernardino Mountains as the typical form,
but has only been discovered at localities farther into the moun-
tains, at all of which it appears relatively constant and quite
sharply separable from petricola.
62 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Proc. 4rH Ser.
For purposes of comparison figures of the shell and micro-
scopic sculpturing of the type specimen of petricola are here
appended (Plate 4, figs. 4a—4c; plate 5), especially as this
species has recently been strangely misunderstood by Bartsch
(:16, p. 612), who referred it without qualification to E. traskii
traskui (Newcomb). As a matter of fact very few of the
numerous races described by him in the same paper have nearly
the claim to separate recognition that petricola has, although I
believe with him that most of them will stand. E. petricola is
in fact the earliest described prototype of a whole series of
southern Californian mountain snails, the exact relation of
which to true traskii still remains to be determined. FE. zeche
Pilsbry (:16), on the other hand, seems quite close to petricola.
Both petricola and orotes are distinctly papillose over much
of the upper surface. A very young petricola now at hand from
the type locality (Cat. No. 3950, Berry Collection) shows that,
when perfect, each papilla bears a minute, stubby, hair-like
periostracal process.
Epiphragmophora petricola sangabrielis, new subspecies
(Plate 4, figs. 6a—6c)
Diagnosis: Shell low-conic, thin, fragile, rather tumid, um-
bilicate; the umbilicus rather narrow, barely permeable to the
apex, and with a diameter about one-twelfth the greater diam-
eter of the shell. Whorls 5%, convex, the last swollen and
slightly descending in front. Aperture rounded, sometimes
slightly flaring, oblique (40°). Edges of peristome slightly
converging and connected by a very thin, transparent parietal
callus. Lip only slightly thickened; everted near the pillar so
as to indent the circular outline of the umbilicus.
Periostracum somewhat glossy, often with a strong satiny
sheen or semi-iridescence. Lines of growth numerous and
fairly strong, though somewhat irregular. First half whorl
when unworn showing rather strong, more or less interrupted,
incremental wrinkles, and traces of a strong, coarse, overlying
papillation; succeeding turns very finely wrinkly-granulose be-
neath the retractively slanting lines of small and at first often
nearly obsolete papilla, the latter increasing in strength to the

penultimate whorl where they are always strongly evident as
well as within the umbilicus and to a less degree over the
region just behind the aperture on the body whorl; papill
elsewhere on the last whorl more weakly developed. Spiral
sculpture obsolete, a few weak traces persisting on the upper
surface and peripheral region of the body whorl only.
Color light golden brown near buffy citrine, paler and with
more of a yellow tone below, with a dark, liver brown band of
a width of about 1.0-1.5 mm. on the shoulder, bordered above
and below by a rather narrower band slightly lighter in tone
than the body of the shell.

Type: Cat. No. 4848, Berry Collection. Paratypes in the
collection of George Willett. (Neither specimen quite fully
mature. )
Type Locality: Monrovia Canyon, San Gabriel Mountains,
California; George Willett, March, 1919; 14 specimens, for the
most part not quite mature.
Additional Localities: In addition to the lot from which the
type was selected, the following specimens before me are pos-
sibly referable to the same subspecies. They are at any rate
very close, although the material is still inadequate for entire
certainty.
Millard’s Canyon, north of Pasadena, San Gabriel Moun-
tains, California; E. P. Chace, March 11 and June 3, 1917; one
living adult, one living juvenal, seven dead of various ages.
Eaton’s Canyon, north of Pasadena, San Gabriel Mountains,
California; E. P. Chace, September 3, 1917; two living adults,
six dead of various ages.
West fork San Gabriel River “just below the divide’, San
Gabriel Mountains, California; E. P. Chace, September 1,
1918; five dead shells.

Remarks: This mountain race appears to be somewhat
similar to Bartsch’s avus in shape, size, and the narrow um-
bilicus, but differs in the weak papillation of the upper surface,
and the presence of a weak spiral sculpture. From zeche Pils-
bry, it is distinguishable by its thinner, more tumid shell, much
narrower umbilicus, and the better developed papillation of the
upper whorls. None of the other described races appears to
require any special comparison.

A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF GRASSHOPPER
FROM CALIFORNIA
BY
MorcGan HEBARD
In the spring of 1917 (April 22-27), Mr. E. P. Van Duzee,
curator of Entomology, Museum California Academy of
Sciences, collected at Bryson in Monterey County, California.
Among the material taken was a single specimen of grasshop-
per, which seemed to represent an undescribed genus and
species.
Upon being informed of this fact, Mr. Van Duzee again
visited Bryson, May 16-23, 1920, in order to obtain, if possible,
additional material of the species. After considerable effort he
was able to locate the habitat, and secured three additional
specimens, all females.
Esselenia,’ new genus
The present genus shows a combination of characters which
makes it most difficult to place. The form of the insect is more
robust than that of any other North American Acridid; in fact,
it is of a type quite similar to that usual in the Ommexechinz.
The head is as full, with face as perpendicular, as in Stira-
pleura, the pronotum showing a generally similar construction
of the lateral carine. The lateral foveolz of the vertex are,
however, not visible from above, in this feature agreeing with
Mesochloa and Phlibostroma, the vertex itself being as broad
as in the latter genus and intermediate between them in show-
ing a subobsolete medio-longitudinal carinula. The antenne

are relatively heavy and flattened, much as in Mesochloa and
Cordillacris, though not showing the slightly greater flattening
proximad found in those genera.
The pronotum, with caudal portion of disk produced mesad
and laterad and margin between concave, is distinctive. In
Mesochloa and Psoloessa alone do we find mere traces of con-
cavity of the lateral portions of the caudal margin of the pro-
notal disk.
The inner spurs of the caudal tibiz are almost equal in
length, in this agreeing with Cordillacris, but not as long and
slender as in that genus.
The ovipositor valves are very short, as in all the other
genera referred to above.
Taking all into consideration, we believe that Esselenia
should be placed after Phlibostroma, though further study of
the proper order of the related genera may lead to its being
placed near Stirapleura. The system generally in use for the
linear arrangement of the genera of the Acridine is clearly un-
satisfactory, but can not be rectified until extensive studies of
the subfamily are made.

In addition to the characters described in the generic treat-
ment, we would note the following: Lateral bounding carine
of vertex straight, very narrow and diverging from the sharply
rounded apex, forming nearly a right angle, to a point above
the lateral ocelli; thence, for an equal distance, straight, broader
and moderately converging to the point where they disappear
into the rounded occiput.
Cephalic margin of pronotal disk weakly convex, appreciably
less than one-half the distance between the extremities of the
caudal margin; least width of disk about four-fifths the cephalic
width. Surface of pronotal disk weakly tectate, moderately

wrinkled, this decided toward the lateral carinze. Lateral lobes
of pronotum with greatest depth equal to dorsal length;
cephalic margin weakly convex and scarcely oblique to the ob-
tuse-angulate, sharply rounded ventro-cephalic angle, ventral
margin broadly convex to the rather broadly rounded, rect-
angulate, ventro-caudal angle; caudal margin broadly concave;
sulci deeply impressed on lateral lobes.
Tegmina represented by broadly lanceolate pads with
rounded apices, which are attingent (or weakly overlap), nearly
as long as combined length of head and pronotum. Veins and
cross-veinlets of tegmina heavy and distinct, forming a coarse

and particularly the humeral vein, are clearly defined.
Short ovipositor valves with heavy apices sharply curved.

with this color also; remaining distal portions pecan brown,
suffused in genicular areas with blackish. Caudal tibiae oppo-
site genicular areas of caudal femora black, beyond this show-
ing a broad buffy annulus, particularly distinct on the inner
surface, remaining portions buckthorn brown, suffused distad
with mummy brown; proximal internal spines mummy brown,
other spines and spurs buckthorn brown, tipped with mummy
brown.
One of the paratypes is similarly colored, except that the
general coloration is much paler, walnut brown. Another has
the color pattern much more strikingly defined, the blackish areas
being as dark, but the medio-longitudinal band of head and pro-
notum light ochraceous-tawny, the tegmina ochraceous-tawny
except in the sutural half of the dorsal section and the proximal
portions of the caudal femora light ochraceous-salmon. The
remaining paratype is almost uniformly sayal brown in colora-
tion, the dark triangle dorsad on the caudal femora remaining
as the only trace of color pattern.
In addition to the type, three female paratypes are before us,
bearing the same data, but taken May 18, 1920. One of these
is the property of the California Academy of Sciences, the other
two are in the author’s collection.
In securing these paratypes, Mr. Van Duzee had some diffi-
culty in locating the proper environment in which to search for
the species. They were taken in the same canyon as the type,
on the grassy or sandy borders of a small mountain stream.
At the time there was no running water in the stream, but little
pools with level sandy flats between and it was on one of these
flats that all were located. The exact spot is in the canyon
back of the Bryson school house, about two miles east of the
Nacimiento River and the same distance north of the San Luis
Obispo County line.
The species probably reaches its greatest adult abundance in
the early spring.
We take pleasure in naming this singular species in honor of
the ardent student and collector who discovered it and who has
subsequently, not without considerable difficulty, secured addi-
tional material and valuable data as to the immediate environ-
ment in which it occurs.

COLOR CHANGES AND STRUCTURE OF THE SKIN
OF ANOLIS CAROLINENSIS
BY CHARLES E. VON GELDERN
The mechanism of the color changes in the lacertilia has been
the subject of much investigation, especially in that of the African
Chameleon. One need only refer to the works of Briicke, Keller,
and Fuchs for historical resumés. Briicke, Pouchet, and Keller have
attempted to solve this problem by a close study of the histological
structure of the skin and Keller was able to demonstrate clearly
the various elements essential for the production of the various
color states.
The histological structure of the skin of Anolis has, as far as I
have been able to determine, been studied only by Carlton, who
attempted to correlate the findings of Keller in the chameleon
with those in Anolis.
The Anolis carolinensis, or so-called Florida Chameleon, belongs
to the family Iguanide and is in no way related to the true chame-
leons. Its habitat is the southeastern part of the United States
and Cuba. It may be distinguished from all other North American
lizards except the Geckos, according to Ditmars, by the expanded
and flattened adhesive pads on the middle four phalanges of each
foot.
It is entirely insectivorous, subsisting mainly on flies and meal
worms, which it is able to capture with almost unerring accuracy.
Water in the form of scattered droplets is lapped by means of its
thick tongue and these lizards soon become dehydrated and die if
water be not supplied in this form.
A characteristic flattened, semicircular projection of the skin,
known as the throat-fan (Ditmars), dewlap or gular appendage
T3 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Proc. 47H Serr.
(Gadow), is produced at will in the mid-ventral region of the head
and neck. This fan is produced by the hyoidean apparatus. The
mechanism of this apparatus consists of a double, tapering car-
tilage lying in the mid-ventral line and attached to the body of
the hyoid just anterior to a line through the center of the eye.
When erected, it carries the loose skin of the cervical region with
it.
This throat-fan is, according to Ditmars, purely ornamental
and produced only by the males, being accompanied by a vigorous
nodding of the head and neck.
It is produced when a male spies a female or when it prepares
for combat with another male. When the males are captured and
held in the hand, this fan becomes prominent. Often when two
males meet, each one will erect a ridge along the mid-dorsal line
extending from the base of the occiput to a variable distance along
the back. This may be accompanied by a marked lateral com-
pression of the thorax and abdomen so that the lateral diameter
is smaller than the dorso-ventral, whereas under ordinary condi-
tions the reverse is true. The throat-fan is usually very prominent
during this state and there is present a characteristic coloration
which will be described later.
The Anolis lives well in captivity when supplied with water in
the form of scattered droplets and flies or meal worms. It soon
becomes apparently very tame and will take insects from the
fingers of its captor.
OBSERVATIONS OF COLOR CHANGES IN THE LIVING
ANOLIS
A general fact impresses itself after one has captured and
observed many of these lizards in captivity, namely, that the range
of variation in the color of the skin is by far greater in those animals
which have been freshly captured. After a few weeks of captivity,
although seemingly in perfect health, the color changes become
less complicated and less brilliant. This observation may tend to
explain the differences noted by different observers as to the color
changes. Ditmars states that the color varies from different
shades of brown to emerald green and that although these are the
common hues of Anolis, other hues are striking, namely, golden
yellow and slaty gray with the peppering of white spots over the
back. These colors he believes occur during the transition from
the two extremes, namely, brown and green. Carlton states that
Vor. X] VON GELDERN—SKIN OF ANOLIS CAROLINENSIS 79
he has never seen any changes other than the different shades of
brown to emerald green and bases his assumption that the color
changes are much more simple in Anolis than in the true chameleon,
on the observations of Lockwood.
To those observing these lizards in their natural environment,
it is evident that the variation is not so simple as has just been
noted. A slaty gray with no element of brown or green is of fairly
common occurrence, as is also straw yellow.
Furthermore over certain areas of the body the colors undergo
even a greater variation than is ascribed to them by Ditmars.
Over the mid-dorsal region, for instance, there is present in many
of these lizards a narrow stripe of two or three millimeters in
width, extending from the cervical region to the sacrum or even
along the tail for a variable distance, in which further variations
may be noted. That this stripe varies in different individuals is
probable, and it may even be absent. Nevertheless, it is so char-
acteristic of many specimens that a description of its changes
should not be neglected. A bright pink color is often present
along the stripe which may become darker until it assumes a
brick-red color conveying the impression that there is placed
there a thick pigment which does not belong to the skin. This
stripe may also show a cream color or white, containing a faint
suggestion of yellow or brown. This light color is most often
observed in those lizards which have assumed the brown hue else-
where on the body.
When the mid-dorsal stripe assumes either a pink or a white
stripe it is irregular at the edges and these irregular edges are dark
brown. A less irregular, black stripe is often observed in the green
state.
I have been unable to discover any rule for the appearance of
the dorsal stripe in its various states. It may be present or absent,
brick-red, pink, white, or black in different lizards living under
the same conditions, nor does the color state of the rest of the body
influence the appearance to any extent. I believe that this stripe
may appear at some time in all the animals in which it is absent,
but that its appearance entails considerable change in the structure
of the skin so that its production must necessarily be a slow one.
On the sides of the maxilla, posterior to the eye there may be
present a black, quadrangular patch, measuring in large males
about two by three millimeters. When present, this patch is of
shiny black appearance and differs markedly from the rest of the
80 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Proc. 4TH Ser.
body even in the dark brown state. This patch appears during
the time when two males are preparing for combat and is asso-
ciated with the appearance of the mid-dorsal ridge, the lateral
flattening of the abdomen and thorax, the extension of the legs so
that the body is raised off the ground, and by a peculiar greenish
mottling of the skin. The altered appearance of this animal pre-
paring for combat, in color, form and action, shows such marked
changes, that it is difficult to associate it with the animal under
ordinary conditions. Even the eyes, which ordinarily are fairly
prominent, recede so that the palpebral fissures show only the
pupils. The movements are slow and awkward and the body may
sway from side to side in a most fantastic manner.
In general, the peppering of white spots on the dorso-lateral
aspect of the body is characteristic, especially during the brown
state, and these spots may be confluent on the lateral aspect of the
cervical region. The lower border of the maxilla, the entire man-
dible, and the ventral aspect of the entire body varies from a
snowy white to dirty brown, gray, or peppered with black dots.
The throat-fan when extended is a brilliant pink or vermilion and
over it are scattered many white spots. When relaxed, the skin
of the throat region is somewhat cream colored or white with
reddish streaks at times.
The following table indicates the various colors noted in different
specimens at the same time and in the same specimen at different
times:

On comparing this table with that of Briicke for Chameleon vul-
garis, one notices certain differences. For instance, pale flesh
colors, lilac gray, steel blue and purple are not present in Anolis,
but the greater simplicity which Carlton would attribute to the
latter is questionable. Undoubtedly differences exist but the
changes must be just as complicated in one as in the other.
CAUSES OF COLOR CHANGES
The most evident general factors influencing the color states
are light, absence of light, temperature, and various external
stimuli.
Carlton found that with few exceptions the brown state was
brought about from the green state in four minutes by exposure to
sunlight. Absence of light changed the brown to green in twenty-
five minutes. With specially constructed containers, he found
that, with few exceptions, if part of the body of a green lizard,
either head or body, be exposed to direct sunlight, while the rest
remained in the dark, the entire body became brown.
Carlton concludes that there are nerve terminals in the skin
which are directly sensitive to light and which, when stimulated
in one area, send impulses which reach the efferent nerve endings
of the skin over the entire body. Spinal cord section in no way
changed the results, indicating that the action is either wholly
reflex in character, or that spinal nerves do not necessarily influence
the changes. Carlton was able to induce the green state by in-
jections of .oo1% nicotin solution in small quantities and this
change from brown to green was brought about in one minute.
This suggested to him that this change is under the control of the
sympathetic nerves.
82 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Proc. 47H Ser.
He also found that the green state could be produced in three
ways, namely, by subjecting the animals to the absence of light,
by inhibiting the blood circulation, and by cutting off the nerve
supply.
Inhibiting the circulation, he found, was a more important
factor than cutting off the nerve supply, in that it brought about
more rapidly the green state and, furthermore, when both factors
acted simultaneously, still greater rapidity in change occurred than
when either one acted alone.
Carlton believes that the green state represents the unstimulated
state of the skin, which is suggested by the fact that ether narcosis,
nicotin poisoning, and death are associated with the green state.
The brown state, he believes, is brought about by stimulation of
the nerve endings and represents ‘‘the state maintained through
tonus established by the sympathetic nerves and dependent upon
stimulation of the nervous end organs in the skin by light.”
Parker and Starratt, repeating Carlton’s experiments on the
rapidity of change from one color state to another, obtained results
that were not uniform and found that changes would occur more
rapidly on one day than on another and even at different times
during the same day.
By means of a constant temperature apparatus which could be
illuminated at 115 candle-meters and at the same time brought
from 10°C. to 50°C., they found the average length of time at
various temperatures at which either the brown or green state
could be produced from the opposite color state. They found that
at 10°C., the skin remained brown in either light or dark, but as
the temperature was raised to 20°C., the animals placed in the
dark became green in 19.66 minutes. At 25°C., under the same
conditions, the change took place in 13.23 minutes; at 30°C., it
took 10.93 minutes; at 35°C., 15.48 minutes. At 40°C. to 45°C.,
the skin remained greenish gray to green in both light and
darkness.
On the other hand, when green lizards were placed in the light
at 20°C., the brown state was brought about in 4.23 minutes; at
25°C., 3.52 minutes; at 30°C., 3.13 minutes, and at 35°C., 2.8
minutes.
These investigators believe that at intermediate temperatures,
namely, between 20°C. and 35°C., light is the controlling factor
but that temperature is effective over this range is evident in that
it may influence the rate of change.
Vor. X] VON GELDERN—SKIN OF ANOLIS CAROLINENSIS 83
Parker, in experimenting with Phrynosoma regale, found that
the claw-like scales which fringe the lateral edge of the body be-
came white when the animal was subjected to a temperature of
32°C. and placed in the dark, and when placed in the light these
claw-like scales became almost black. At 19°C., these scales
became black in 15 minutes when the animal was placed in the
light, and they became white in 30 minutes in the dark. At 15°C.
light again caused black, while darkness brought about a light
color, but not white. From these results he concluded that a low
temperature favored the production of the black state, whereas a
higher temperature, the white state. Thus light produces in this
animal, as in Anolis, a dark state, while its absence brings about
the light state.
Parker further believes that even in Stellio, Uromastix, and
Veranus, which have always been considered to have a reversal
of the light reaction, in that light causes just the reverse effect
as in Anolis, namely, the production of light coloration in the
light and dark coloration in the dark, that the apparent reversal
is really a temperature effect and not a true reversal of the effect
of light.
Parker and Starratt mention the observations of Doctor Caswell
Graves who stated that in the neighborhood of Beaufort, N. C.,
on hot, sunny days about as many green lizards as brown ones
may be captured. These results are explained by Parker and
Starratt by considering that some of the animals are more sensitive
to light than to heat and thus become brown, while others are more
sensitive to heat than to light and become green.
I do not believe that this explanation suffices, for if one notices
individual lizards for a considerable length of time, one is struck
by the frequent and rapid changes from green to brown and back
again to green, apparently regardless of temperature and light.
How much influence the otherwise varying nervous conditions
exert on these color changes, it is difficult to say for it would seem
almost impossible to control them. I have watched animals which
were sunning themselves and apparently undisturbed and quiet
undergo these changes in a rhythmic manner. Rapid changes
are also frequently noticed when an Anolis changes slowly from
one object to another, the change occurring while the transfer is
being made.
Redfield, after numerous carefully checked experiments on
Phrynosoma cornutum, was able to verify the conclusions of Parker,
84 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Proc. 47H Ser.
Carlton, Starratt, and others that the daily rhythmic changes of
color are produced by the direct action of light and heat upon the
melanaphores. He further states that Phrynosoma adapts itself
to its surroundings, namely, if placed on a substratum of white
sand it slowly assumes a light coloration irrespective of light or
heat and if placed on a substratum of cinders it slowly takes on a
dark coloration. He concludes that the color adaptation depends
upon stimuli received through the eyes.
He was able to bring about a pale coloration in various ways,
such as forcibly opening the mouth or by the application of a weak
faradic current to the mucous membranes of the mouth or cloaca.
He believes that this proximal migration of the pigment may be
brought about in two ways, namely, by nervous impulses which
stimulate the melanophores through the sympathetic nervous
system or by secretion of a hormone (adrenin) from the adrenals.
The impulses are carried from the mouth or cloaca along the spinal
cord to a center situated between eighth and thirteenth vertebre
and thence by sympathetic fibres to the adrenals. The stimulated
glands secrete adrenin which is taken up by the blood stream and
acts directly on the melanophores causing a proximal migration
of the pigment.
Redfield concludes from the fact that adrenalin produces
proximal migration of the pigment in Anolis and from the work of
Carlton, that impulses through the autonomic nervous system
cause a distal migration of the pigment, that the melanophores of
Anolis must possess a double innervation from two divisions of the
autonemic nervous system. That this is possible he shows by
analogous tissue, namely, the smooth muscle, the latter one ‘known
to be innervated by antagonistic fibres belonging to two morpho-
logically distinct parts of the autonomic nervous system.”
The explanation for emotional manifestations in Phrynosoma,
Anolis and other animals is readily explained by his conclusions
regarding the secretion of adrenin.
When first placed in captivity the brown and green lizards in
the same cage are about equally divided, but after remaining in
captivity for a few weeks the greater proportion become brown
in the daylight and the green produced by the absence of light has
lost its former brilliance.
Much has been written about the true chameleon and its adap-
tation of color to its surroundings. Keller found, after placing speci-
mens of Chameleon vulgaris in a green house, that in a short space
Vor. X] VON GELDERN—SKIN OF ANOLIS CAROLINENSIS 85
of time he was able to find them only after a most careful search,
in spite of the fact that when found they were often in plain view.
However, he does not believe that the surrounding color plays any
role but that other factors, which he did not attempt to explain,
bring about these changes. Ditmars states that there is no rela-
tion between the color of Anolis and its surroundings.
One must have great temerity to deny such a statement, but I
have noted adaptations to the surroundings in Anolis which seem
to be more than accidental. For instance, I have noticed that on
dark brown fence rails which contained small areas of green lichen,
some of the lizards resting on them assume a dark brown color
with irregular patches of brilliant green. In other words, a mixed
state is often evident and the effect produced resembles fairly
closely the surroundings. Almost invariably the lizards seen on
the trunks of the palm trees in New Orleans are brown and are
often detected with great difficulty.
The table below represents the findings on May 16, 1917, from
11.30 A. M. to 1.45 P. M., during which time the temperature was

Ground has not yet been broken for the Steinhart
Aquarium. This is not due to any lack of desire on the part
of the Council and the Trustees to further its early con-
struction. The trust which the Academy has accepted will
be faithfully discharged. More than a year ago the bequest
became available and the sum of $250,000 was paid to the
124 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Proc. 4TH Ser.
Academy. This sum was at once invested and interest has
been accumulating. Dr. Evermann, accompanied by Civil
Engineer T. Ronneberg, has made an inspection trip to all the
notable aquariums in the United States in order that the
Academy may have the advantage of the latest and best ideas
on general arrangement, lighting and operation. The archi-
tect, Mr. Lewis P. Hobart, thereupon made a number of pre-
liminary studies from which it presently became apparent that
the funds at our disposal were not adequate to provide a
building of the size, dignity and architectural finish which
would be required if the aquarium is given the place of
honor in the Academy’s building scheme. It was found im-
practicable, in other words, to put the aquarium to the East
of the unit in which our present exhibits and activities are
housed, where it could be made, if funds permitted, an im-
posing central feature at the rear of an aquatic court. When
this fact became apparent the architect did the next best thing.
He so arranged a design that only a small portion of the ex-
terior of the building would require finishing in stone. But
even with this arrangement under which only a narrow front
of the building would be architecturally ornamental, there has
been difficulty in finding a site at once appropriate and ac-
ceptable to the Board of Park Commissioners. The matter
of selecting a site and of suggesting a building suited to the
site is now in the hands of a joint committee of the Park
Commission and of the Academy.
It is regrettable that the funds placed by bequest at the
disposal of the Academy are limited to an amount which will
not give to San Francisco all that is desired in connection
with a first class, fully equipped aquarium in which the ma-
rine life of the Pacific Ocean and the aquatic life of the
streams which flow into the Pacific Ocean should be ade-
quately represented. Even with extreme restriction of the
exterior ornamentation of the aquarium building it will not
be possible to provide more than about 50 tanks of moderate
size. There will be no space provided in accomplishing this
result for fishery and display exhibits, for research work, or
for offices. The bare housing of the fish tanks, and of the
machinery and appliances required to store, filter, aerate and
cool or heat the water, is all that can be accomplished with
the means at command.
Vor. XJ GRUNSKY—PRESIDENT’S REPORT FOR 1920 125
Some thought has been given to combining with the
aquarium an auditorium or otherwise bringing under the
same roof space that may be used for other purposes, with-
out in any sense detracting from the distinctiveness of the
Steinhart Aquarium. Nothing along this line seems possible
of accomplishment. The aquarium once established will al-
ways be the “Steinhart Aquarium.” Enlargement or exten-
sion by other bequests or endowments is not likely so long
as the features added by such bequests or endowments are
not sufficiently distinctive to perpetuate the names of those
whose generosity prompts their making. Nor does it seem
likely that the City, which is the beneficiary, could be pre-
vailed on in the near future to increase the initial fund.
Nevertheless, before it is too late, this thought is thrown out.
It would indeed be a gracious thing if the City which has
authorized the Academy to accept the bequest and to take
charge of the erection and operation of an aquarium in
Golden Gate Park, would add a like amount. It would
thereby make possible the erection of a dignified structure
adequate for immediate needs and arranged for expansion to
meet any future requirements.
The financial standing of the Academy will appear from
the Treasurer’s report. The endeavor of the Council and of
the Trustees has been to do the utmost that could be done
within our resources as well in the matter of adding to
the material in the Academy’s collections as in research work
and the publication of results. What has been done along
these lines will appear more fully from the report of Dr.
Evermann, the Director of the Museum, and the reports of
the curators of the various departments.
As you were advised a year ago our floating debt which
had been incurred during the erection of the Museum build-
ing, had been wiped out in 1919. This year we note with
satisfaction that our indebtedness on the Academy’s Market
Street property has been reduced by $10,000, from $300,000
to $290,000.
For a grizzly bear habitat group, as was noted in the
President’s last annual report, funds have been provided by
Mr. Ogden Mills and the necessary specimens for the group
have now been secured from the Yellowstone Park without
126 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Proc. 4TH Ser.
expense to the Academy, by Dr. Saxton Pope, assisted by
Arthur Young and G. D. Pope. Permission was granted
by the Park authorities to get four grizzly bear for this pur-
pose. It is expected that before the close of this calendar
year the group will be installed. It will fill the last available
alcove and, thereafter, the need for more exhibit space will be
felt more than ever.
The Academy is a growing institution, as yet but inade-
quately equipped to carry on the activities which should be its
special concern. It should have more housing facilities for
scientific and educational natural history material. It should
be engaged in carrying natural history lessons into the school
rooms of the city and it should have better facilities for popu-
lar lectures on scientific subjects. Despite the present inade-
quate facilities the weekly lectures (Sunday afternoons) have
proved very successful. Their scope appears from the list
submitted. They are attended to the limit of our small audi-
torium’s seating capacity. I am sure that I voice the senti-
ments of all members and friends of the Academy who have
attended any of these lectures, when I say that the kindness
of those who have given the lectures, frequently at no little
personal inconvenience, has been sincerely appreciated.
In the President’s last annual report note was made of the
fact that on appeal to the Supreme Court, the will of Mr. S.
F. Thorn under which the Academy was bequeathed some
land near Santa Cruz and other property, had been sustained.
It was subsequently learned that this decision was not rend-
ered by the Court in banc. Upon further hearing, the Court
in banc reversed the earlier decision, finding that the will was
not holographic because the single word “Cragthorn” had
been inserted with a rubber stamp. The will was declared
illegal and it now appears that the announcement of last year
was at fault and that the Academy takes nothing under the
will.
Among the notable acquisitions of the Academy during the
year is the W. Otto Emerson collection of bird skins, some
5300 in number. Most of the birds represented in this col-
lection, which has great scientific value, are from Alameda
County. It has come to us through the generosity of W. H.
Crocker and John W. Mailliard.
Vor. X] GRUNSKY—PRESIDENT’S REPORT FOR 1920 127
Private subscriptions by a number of friends of the
Academy have made possible the purchase of the Albert
Prager Herbarium, which contains many valuable plant speci-
mens from various parts of the globe. Negotiations for the
transfer of this herbarium from Leipzig, Germany, the home
of Mr. Prager, to the Museum of the Academy, have been
completed.
Your officers again commend the zeal and ability with
which the curators of the Academy’s departments have con-
ducted their work, which goes so far in maintaining the
standing of the Academy as a scientific institution of real
worth. Your officers are appreciative too of the interest
taken by the membership in the activities of the Academy,
and are gratified to note how popular the museum has be-
come as evidenced by the large number of visitors reported
by the Director of the Museum.
The Academy stands ready to enlarge its usefulness. It
can do so materially, however, only through outside help.
As opportunity offers this fact should be made known to
those who are so circumstanced that they can serve mankind
by establishing endowments for useful purposes. They should
know that the Academy is ready to serve.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MUSEUM FOR
THE YEAR 1920
BY
BARTON WARREN EVERMANN
Director of the Museum
The annual report of the Director for the year 1919 was
presented to the Academy at the annual meeting February
18, 1920. At that time all except one of the spaces for large
habitat groups in the mammal and bird halls had been filled.
The one remaining space has been reserved for a Grizzly
Bear Group. The grizzly bear is now extinct in California.
None of us will ever see a living example of that magnificent
animal which figured so prominently in the early history of
the State; it is said there is no really good specimen of the
species in any museum in the world. It has therefore been
decided to put in a habitat group of a closely related species
(Ursus imperator) which occurs in the Yellowstone Park.
Dr. Saxton Pope (a member of the Academy) of San Fran-
cisco, offered to secure the necessary animals, without ex-
pense to the Academy, if the necessary permit were secured.
Application was made to the National Park Service for a
permit for Dr. Pope to kill the necessary animals, the permit
was obtained, and Dr. Pope secured the animals. The taxi-
dermists have begun the preparation of the group which, it is
believed, will be completed by September, 1921.
When Mr. Ogden Mills visited the Museum recently he
was so pleased with what the Academy has already accom-
plished in habitat group installation that he generously gave
his check to the Academy for $5000 to cover the cost of the
proposed Grizzly Bear Group. It is very gratifying to know
that this Museum is so appreciated and the Academy feels
grateful to Mr. Mills for this expression of his appreciation.
Small Habitat Groups.—With the completion of the Grizzly
Bear Group all the available spaces for large groups will have
been utilized. There will remain only spaces for 24 small panel
Vor. X] EVERMANN—DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR 1920 129
groups—five in the bird hall and 19 in the mammal hall. It
is hoped that all these may be completed within the next few
years.
PERSON NEL
Only a few changes have taken place in the personnel of
the Museum within the year. Mr. William Heim, who was
employed as taxidermist, took indefinite leave August 16,
1920, on account of ill health. It is hoped he may be able
to return at an early date. Mr. Francis G. Gilchrist, who
was employed May 10, 1920, as assistant in the department
of Ornithology and Mammalogy, resigned July 30 to re-enter
the University of California. Harvey R. Scott was employed
as assistant taxidermist from July 28 to August 20. Chase
Littlejohn has been employed as assistant curator, department
of Ornithology and Mammalogy, since September 13.
The employes of the Academy at this date are as follows:
Dr. Barton Warren Evermann, Director and Executive
Curator of the Museum, and Editor; W. W. Sargeant, Secre-
tary to the Board of Trustees; Miss Susie Peers, Secretary
to the Director; Joseph W. Hobson, Recording Secretary ;

ACCESSIONS TO THE MUSEUM AND LIBRARY
Accessions to the Museum and the Library have been un-
usually numerous and valuable, as is shown by the detailed
list in the appendix to this report (pp. 149-158).
VISITORS TO THE MUSEUM
In accordance with established policy, the Museum was
open to the public every day in the year. The attendance by
months for each of the years since the Museum was first
opened to the public is shown in the following table:

A comparison of the number of visitors to the Museum of
the California Academy of Sciences with those who visited
the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum at
Washington in the year ending June 30, 1920, will prove
very interesting. The visitors by months are given in the
following table, which shows that the number visiting the
Smithsonian Institution was only 21 per cent of those visiting
the Academy Museum; the number visiting the Natural His-
tory Building of the National Museum was only 4.7 per cent.
greater than that at the Academy, while that at the Arts and
Industries Building of the National Museum was only 62
per cent of that at the Academy. These figures should be
very gratifying to us.

COOPERATION WITH SCHOOLS
The Museum continues to cooperate with the public and
private schools. Teachers and school officials are coming
to realize more and more clearly that the Museum can be of
real service to the schools. The number of schools visiting
the Museum increases each year. During the year 1920 there
were schools from San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Ala-
meda, Piedmont and Richmond, and classes from San Jose,
San Rafael, San Anselmo, San Mateo, and Stockton. When-
ever possible, the Director or some one of the Museum staff
accompanies the school through the Museum and explains
briefly the general features of the installations, calling at-
132 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Proc. 47H SER.
tention to the educational value of the various exhibits, and
then, when time permits, the class is taken into the lecture
hall and shown moving pictures or stereopticon slides il-
lustrative of some of the exhibits.
The visits by schools in the year have been as follows:

The classification and arrangement of the collection was continued dur-

Considerable research work has been accomplished during the year and
a further study of the gopher-snakes west of the Rocky Mountains has been
published.
The snakes of the genus Lampropeltis were borrowed for study by Dr.
Blanchard, and the lizards of the genus Gerrhonotus were studied by Mr.
Ivan Johnston. Other students also made use of the collection.
During the year the Assistant Curator, Mr. J. R. Slevin, carried on ex-
plorations in California and Arizona, where he spent the months of May,
June, July, August, and part of September, and secured large collections.

DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY
The regular work of the Department of Invertebrate Paleontology is
considerably varied in character because of the assembling therein of all
the collections of fossil animals and plants, as well as those of the shells
of living mollusks, and corals and the minerals, which belong to the Acad-
emy. While each group must necessarily receive a certain amount of care
in order to make the collections readily accessible for study, the greatest
attention of the personnel of the Department has been given to the living
and fossil mollusks, particularly the latter. The vast Tertiary deposits of.
these organisms in California have attracted the attention of members
of the Academy’s staff since the organization of the institution. Although
the valuable collections obtained prior to 1906 were destroyed in the fire,
the activities of my predecessors and friends of the Academy have resulted
in the building up of one of the largest West Coast series in existence.
In the careful selection of the specimens and their orderly arrangement
the collection is second to none.
The study of the fossil shells necessitates having related living forms
for comparison, and generous friends have presented material from time
to time, so that a very large and valuable working series of recent shells
has been obtained. So far as West Coast material is concerned, the
Academy’s collection probably ranks third in importance at the present
time.
Some specimens of fossil vertebrate animals are also contained in the
collections, but throughout its history the Academy has preferred to leave
this branch of the work to other institutions. This likewise has been true
with regards to the fossil plants and the minerals.
Such varied and extensive collections require attention along the follow-
ing lines: (1) The collection of additional material in the most important
groups (field work) ; (2) The proper accessioning, cataloging, and classify-
ing of the specimens; (3) The preparation and publishing of reports upon
the collections for the use of the members of the Academy and others
interested in this branch of science.
Three important field trips were made by the curator during the period
covered by this report. Ten days in April were spent in San Benito
County, California, in company with Mr. Joseph Mailliard, Curator of the
Department of Ornithology. The collections of land and freshwater mol-
lusks secured filled important gaps in our series. Search for fossils in
the region proved unsuccessful.
The United States Bureau of Fisheries requested the services of the
curator during the summer of 1920 to take the census of Alaska fur seals
on the Pribilof Islands, a task to which he had been detailed annually since
1913, After careful consideration of the benefits which the Academy would
derive from such a trip, it was decided best to accede to the wishes of the
Bureau. The curator, therefore, took his departure on May 27, and,
after an absence of about four months, returned on October 1. About
one month of this time was occupied with actual fur-seal work, and the
remaining available time was devoted to making collections in the branches
144 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES [Proc. 4TH Ser.
in which the Academy personnel is most interested. Besides the work
done on the Pribilof Islands, specimens were obtained at Seattle, Un-
alaska, and Woody Island, near Kodiak, Alaska. Land and freshwater
shells were secured at these places, and dredging was done whenever
weather conditions would permit. The Department of Invertebrate
Paleontology thus secured 3,000 specimens. In addition to these collections
the attempted boring of an artesian well on St. Paul Island by the Navy
Department furnished an opportunity to secure a continuous series of
cuttings down to 100 feet below sea level. A very large collection of fossil
diatoms thus resulted, the full importance and extent of which can not
be estimated at this time.
The collections of birds, birds’ eggs, insects and plants secured on this
trip have been dealt with by the curators of the respective departments.
During the latter part of 1920 the Bureau of Fisheries made a further
request for the presence of the curator at a conference on fur-seal matters,
called for January 10, 1921, in Washington, D. C. That this request might
be complied with, two weeks annual leave was granted. Entire approval
was expressed with regard to the methods of census computation developed
by the writer.
On the return from Washington a brief stop was made at Austin, Texas,
where a large collection of recent land and freshwater shells, and marine
Cretaceous fossils was secured. At the close of the year these specimens
had not been assorted or classified.
The trip to Washington and return on Government transportation
furnished an opportunity, which could not be overlooked, to visit an im-
portant, but little-known, Tertiary horizon in southern California at little
expense to the Academy. This is in the general region of Carriso Creek,
Imperial and San Diego counties. Dr. Roy E. Dickerson, the former
curator, had borrowed the material from this locality which had been
collected by the U. S. Geological Survey and the University of California,
but had been unable to complete the study he contemplated. Upon looking
into the matter with a view to returning the borrowed collections to their
owners, their importance from a geological standpoint was very evident.
Professor Bruce L. Clark, of the University of California, urged that the
relations of the fossil fauna be determined, if possible. The best preserved
specimens of the various species were accordingly taken to Washington,
where direct comparisons could be made with closely related species from
the West Indies and other places.
It then appeared more evident than ever that this deposit of shells and
other fossils promised to reveal many unknown facts regarding the former
connection of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, A larger collection and
better material were imperative; and at the time this report is being writ-
ten, field work is in progress, and it is hoped that before it goes to press
it will be possible to state briefly the success of the undertaking.
Besides the collections made by the curator, some others should be
mentioned. Dr. Roy E. Dickerson brought to the Academy in 1920 an
extensive series of marine shells from the Philippine Islands. Altogether
Vor. X] EVERMANN—DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR 1920 145
there are 1,470 specimens. Mr. Joseph R. Slevin brought some rare land
shells from Arizona, where exploration was conducted in the interests
of the Department of Herpetology. Dr. Barton Warren Evermann col-
lected some beautiful specimens of lavas while he was in the Hawaiian
Islands attending the meeting of the Pan-Pacific Scientific Conference.
Several other minor collections were donated to the Academy, all of
which are mentioned in the list of accessions following.
The proper cataloging and classification of a collection is almost as valu-
able work as the assembling of it, hence a great deal of attention has been
devoted to this work. The card system is being used to list the various
species, numbers of specimens, localities, etc., and an important beginning
has been made upon a real inventory of the scientific material in the
Department. Once this is completed there will be little difficulty in keeping
it up to date; and, then in a short time, it will be possible to state how many
species and specimens we have. At the present time this can not be
done, although it would be very desirable.
The absence of the curator in Alaska for so long, prevented the writ-
ing of many papers on the collections. However, the work upon the
Miocene freshwater shells from the ancient Petaluma Lake was com-
pleted. Also two reports upon fossil land shells of an Oregon deposit
were written. Altogether the curator published six articles during the
year.
Considerable progress was made in the indexing of references to west
American land and freshwater mollusks. From the vast intricacies of
the literature which thus become orderly assembled, it is hoped that a
valid list of species may be extricated. One of the things already dis-
closed is the remarkable fact that no less than 125 specific and subspecific
names have been applied in the common California land-snail genus, known
as Epiphragmophora.
Our collection has continued to be actively used by other institutions,
and it is hoped that in the future it will continue to prove equally at-
tractive. Specimens which have been studied by specialists are believed
to be of far greater value to a museum than those which repose in-
definitely unidentified and untouched in their cases.
Under the able leadership of Professor Clark, the students of his
classes in paleontology have found material collected by the Academy per-
sonnel many years ago, of great value in their work upon particular hori-
zons. This is especially true of Mr. Howe, who is engaged upon faunas
from Oregon and Washington. It is understood, informally, that the
monograph of the western species of the genus Turritella by Miss Richard-
son has been completed, and that the material borrowed from the Academy
will be returned as soon as the necessary photographs have been taken.
Miss Mary J. Rathbun, Associate in Zoology of the U. S. National
Museum, has borrowed the Academy’s collection of fossil crabs. She is
the foremost authority on these crustaceans, and it is fortunate that our
material may be identified by such an able and well-known student.
Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan, of the U. S. Geological Survey, visited the
Academy in the summer of 1920, and requested the loan of some of our
146 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES (Proc. 47H Ser.
Tertiary fossils to be used in connection with his studies of coastal plains
geology. Others who have borrowed certain specified groups in past
years, but who have not completed their studies at this date, are: Dr.
Earl L. Packard, University of Oregon, Cretaceous fossils; Dr. S. S.
Berry, Redlands, California, Chitons; and Dr. W. S. W. Kew, fossil sea
urchins.
Faithful and very valuable assistance has been rendered in the Depart-
ment by Messrs. Merle Israelsky and Georges Vorbe, students of the
University of California, and by Mr. William Barbat of St. Mary’s College.
G. Dattas Hanna, Curator.
DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY
The collections haye been increased by specimens collected by the
Curator and Mr. W. S. Wallace of Monterey Bay. Mr. Wallace has
specialized on hydroids and is naming the material as rapidly as acquired.
A trip to Vancouver Island which the Curator had intended to make in
October had to be postponed until April on account of unfavorable tides
and the closing of the Nanaimo Biological Station, which was to be used
as a base of operations. The primary object of the trip was to study in
life the shore and shallow-water sea stars, of which a considerable num-
ber of nominal forms have been described from that general region.
Dr. G. Dallas Hanna made a collection of sea stars, with extensive color
notes, at St. Paul Island, Bering Sea, and at Unalaska, during the summer.
Dr. Gertrude Van Wagenen, who is studying at the Hopkins Marine
Station, the corals and actinians of Monterey Bay, will contribute a set of
named specimens. W. K. FisHEr, Curator.
LIBRARIAN’S REPORT
The growth of the library during the year 1920 was greater than during
the preceding year, accessions having increased by purchase, by exchange
and by gift. The low rate of foreign exchange made it seem advisable to
place larger orders with European dealers and by this means many valu-
able sets were received at a very reasonable figure. Recovery from the
European War has made possible the resumption of exchanges with many
foreign societies, and lastly, more than the usual number of gifts have
been received from friends of the Academy. Accessions to the library
for the year number 1370 bound volumes, of which 526 were received by
gift, 544 by purchase and 300 through exchange with other institutions.
In addition to the bound volumes a large number of pamphlets and parts
of volumes were received. By far the larger part of the books and pam-
phlets presented to the Academy library were from the Adolph Sutro
library, received through the generosity of Doctors Geo. W. and Emma
Sutro Merritt. This material from the Sutro library includes 402 bound
volumes and 4248 miscellaneous numbers of government bulletins and
reports and similar unbound material, besides a large number of separate
papers, many of which will be useful later in completing sets. During
the year 2200 volumes were accessioned, making the total number of
volumes accessioned on December 31, 1920, 14,080.

Vor. X] EVERMANN—DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR 1920 147
Two new metal book stacks were erected in the basement library room,
furnishing shelving space for 2400 volumes. This additional shelving
has made it possible to relieve and rearrange some overcrowded subjects,
thus adding materially to the orderly arrangement of the books stored in
the basement room.
Work in the library department has, as in the two previous years, been
in the hands of Miss McClellan and Mrs. Van Duzee, and to the faithful
and efficient performance of the duties devolving upon these two is due
the progress made in this department of the Academy’s activities.
The collating, classification and cataloging has been completed in the
series of publications of scientific societies and institutions issued in for-
eign languages, and in the subjects of engineering, chemistry, geography,
mathematics, medicine, mining, ethnology and archeology and work on
several other subjects is nearing completion. All current accessions also
have been cataloged and placed on the shelves promptly as received. Use
of the library by the Academy membership has shown a gratifying in-
crease and it is hoped that with the improvement of the catalogue and
the more systematic arrangement of the books on the shelves will come
an increasing and more effective use of the books we have, both by the
museum staff and the Academy membership in general.
E. P. Van Duzet, Assisiant Librarian.
DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY
As heretofore, this department has been coordinated with that of Or-
nithology, and what field work was accomplished was done incidentally
with that in the latter department.
A succession of dry seasons in northern California made the collecting
of small rodents a difficult matter on account of their scarcity, but a con-
siderable number was obtained.
The Academy’s collection of mammals had never been completely
checked up, labelled, or entered upon the accession register, but this work
is now nearly finished. Many of the large skins were only salted or dried,
but the necessity for the better preservation of these very valuable speci-
mens became so evident that Mr. H. W. Vogelsang was employed to tan
them. The larger proportion of these have been so treated with most
satisfactory results.
These skins have heretofore been stored in the ordinary metal cases in
use for the smaller mammals, and therefore not readily accessible. It
was decided to build a hide room in which to hang them when tanned.
For this purpose a space has been enclosed in the vacant store room at
the northwest corner of the Mammal Hall, in which all hides will be
easily accessible for examination.
Gifts to the department have been made by Messrs. F. S. Townsley,
J. R. Slevin, Chas. Budd, Geo. A. Bailey, W. C. Hackmeier, Dr. Saxton
Pope, the Golden Gate Park authorities, and others, as shown in the List
of Accessions.

DEPARTMENT OF ORNITHOLOGY
Active work in this department has been carried on throughout the
year. While most of this work has consisted in the classification, regis-
tration, and arrangement of specimens, several field trips were undertaken
and some valuable contributions made to the knowledge of the distribu-
tion and migration of our birds. Two weeks in the early spring were
spent in Monterey County, California, for the purpose of observing the
unusual influx of Clarke’s Nutcrackers reported from there, and for
studying the juncos of that part of the state, and some valuable records
were obtained. Another field trip was made in company with Dr. G.
Dallas Hanna, of the Department of Paleontology, to whose valuable
assistance this department is greatly indebted, into the region near “The
Pinnacles,” San Benito County, California, and to Pacheco and Panoche
passes in order to note migrations. Interesting data were secured on this
trip in connection with the spring migration of certain species and many
specimens of birds and eggs were brought back.
The principal field trip of the year was to Siskiyou County, California,
made in company with Mr. F. G. Gilchrist and Mr. Frank C. Holman, as
assistants. Five weeks were passed in the field, the greater portion in
camp at various spots. Although the very dry season had an unfortunate
influence upon the bird life of the localities visited, the expedition gath-
ered a number of specimens from a but little investigated part of the
state, better defined the known habitats of several species of birds, and
obtained some good records. The regions visited were localities west
and north of the base of Mt. Shasta; Forest House Mountain, west of
Yreka; and the Salmon Mountains, west of Greenview. Thanks are
especially due to Mr. F. C. Holman, in the capacity of volunteer assistant,
for his efforts to make the expedition a success.
Another field trip was made, in company with Mr. Chase Littlejohn,
present assistant in this department, to the Mt. St. Helena range in Lake
County, California, further to study the fall migration of fox sparrows.
Fifteen days were spent in this work, and some very interesting observa-
tions were made, and numerous specimens secured.
The Curatorial work of the department has been principally that of
cataloging and arranging specimens and bringing the card index up to
date. The large increase in the number of specimens has necessitated the
addition of fifteen metal cases for their installation, but, unless the near
future brings unexpected fortune in the way of large donations, there
should now be case room for the coming year, especially as a few cases
will be freed from the mammalogical room.
The illness of Mr. Wm. Heim, who was mounting birds for the sea-
sonal groups of the birds of Golden Gate Park, has delayed that work
so that it is not yet systematically arranged, but a number of the birds
of the park are in the cases, properly labelled, so that the public may
profit thereby. Mr. Littlejohn has more specimens under way, and it is
hoped to have these groups in fairly good shape within the next few
weeks.
The principal donation to the department during the past year has been
that of the W. Otto Emerson collection of study skins, consisting of some
Vor. X] EVERMANN—DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR 1920 149
5300 specimens, the life work of Mr. Emerson. This collection was pur-
chased and donated to the Academy by Messrs. W. H. Crocker and John
W. Mailliard. In this collection are many rare records for California,
and, with the Mailliard collection, the Academy’s representation of
the land birds of this state is now placed on a good working basis for
the use of all who may be interested in the study of ornithology.
