To the Trustees and Members of the American Museum of Natural Flistory : I have the honor to submit herewith a brief statement of the proceedings of the Museum for the year 1goo: FINANCES.—Your attention is directed to the Treasurer’s Re- port on pages 30, 31, 32 and 33, presenting separately the receipts and disbursements for Maintenance and Endowment. At the annual meeting of the Board, held at the beginning of the year, expenditures for maintenance amounting to $137,489 were authorized, an amount $17,489 in excess of that appropriated by the city. This estimated deficit has been reduced, and the Trustees have contributed $12,000, so that we might begin the present year without debt. The total sum subscribed by the Trustees since the opening of the Museum, to meet the yearly recurring deficits in this account, now amounts to $250,393. Boarp or TRUSTEES.—Mr, Percy R. Pyne was elected a Trus- tee at the Annual Meeting held in February, and was also made a member of the Executive Committee. At a meeting of the Trustees held May 14 it was my sad duty to announce the decease of our valued associate, Vice-President James M. Constable. His death was a great personal loss, inas- much as he was intimately and actively associated with me in the administration of the affairs of the Museum. Almost from the time of his election to the Board He served as Chairman of the Executive Committee, and since 1890 he has been our First Vice- President. , 10 Report of the President. On December 15 the Board met with the loss of another of its members through the death of Mr. Oswald Ottendorfer. Mr. Ottendorfer was elected a Trustee in 1886, and his deeds attest the deep interest which he took in the objects and aims of the Museum. Although his impaired health prevented him from attending regularly the meetings of the Trustees, his devotion to the Museum was manifested repeatedly through his generous con- tributions. LEGISLATION.—By the terms of Chapter 185 of the laws of goo, reprinted on another page of this report, the city authorities were empowered to expend $350,000 for the completion and equipment of the east and west corner wings and for such other purposes as might be agreed upon between the Department of Parks and the Trustees of the Museum. Of this sum an issue of bonds to the amount of $150,000 has been authorized by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment. MemeersHip.—During the year just closed Messrs. Percy R. Pyne, George A. Hearn, George T. Bliss, Frederick A. Constable, Charles M. Jesup, Edwin H. Weatherbee; Mrs. Josiah M. Fiske, Mrs. Morris K. Jesup and Miss Elizabeth M. Sturgis were elected “Patrons,” Messrs. John L. Cadwalader and Wm. Earl Dodge, and the following-named persons were ’ 3d, became “ Fellows,’ elected “ Life Members”: Messrs. C. R. Agnew, G. B. Agnew, Thomas Baring, J. O. Bartholomew, Bertrand F. Bell, Theodore 3erdell, William Brewster, Joseph Bushnell, Hugh J. Chisholm, Lester B. Churchill, George C. Clausen, Treadwell Cleveland, Bird S. Coler, Samuel D. Collins, Frederick Cromwell, Eugene Delano, Anthony Dey, William A. DuBois, Horace Gray, E. H. Harriman, George B. Hopkins, Archer M. Huntington, Frank D. Hurtt, Walter B. James, Theodor Whitman Knauth, John Burling Lawrence, John R. Livermore, Francis H. Markoe, M. D., George W. Maynard, Ernest Schernikow, William Trotter, Robert A. Van Wyck; Miss Ellen H. Cotheal, Miss Ethel DuBois, Miss H. Olive Trowbridge, Mrs. David S. Egleston, Mrs. E. C. Moore and Mrs. Charles Boughton Wood. Report of the President. II I regret to record the decease of Henry Villard, Collis P. Hunt- ington, Jonas G. Clark, Appleton Sturgis and James Baker Smith, all “ Patrons’ of the Museum; and of Messrs. Frederick E. Church, E. J. Donnell, R. G. Dun, John Alsop King, Percival Knauth, Mandeville Mower, George Richards and Mrs. E. Keep- Schley, “ Life Members.” ENDOWMENT FuNpD.—It is a pleasure to report that the Endow- ment Fund has been increased by a gift of ten thousand dollars from Mrs. Josiah M. Fiske, to be invested and designated “The Josiah M. Fiske Fund.’ The income of this fund is to be used at the discretion of the Trustees. A contribution of one thousand dollars received from Mr. George A. Hearn has also been added to the Endowment Fund. The Permanent Invested Fund now amounts to $400,000, yielding a yearly income of $20,280. I feel it my duty again to refer to the great need of a much larger Invested Fund. With the growth of the Museum as a whole there are naturally increased demands from the various departments and our activities have increased beyond the means at our disposal. Each season’s work reveals greater opportuni- ties for an increase of our collections, and if our prestige is to be maintained we must take advantage of these opportunities. The Museum has become a valuable ally to the educational institutions, both of the City and State; indeed, teachers and pupils from neighboring States are often met in the Exhibition Halls, and the work of the Department of Public Instruction has been adopted by ten States and two foreign countries. This alone is ample justification for the course the Trustees have taken in the past, and the need of a substantial endowment to perpetuate the institution as an educational power is nothing short of impera- tive. ADDITIONS TO THE BuiLDINGs.—The New Lecture Hall was completed early in the fall, and was dedicated on Wednesday afternoon, October 30. The new structure was formally transferred to the Trustees by the Honorable George C. Clausen, President of the Department of Parks, and accepted by your President on behalf of your 12 Report of the President. Board. A complete report of the opening exercises has been incorporated in this report. TRANSPORTATION.—The courteous aid extended in the past to our field parties has been continued by the following railroads: The Southern Pacific, the Wabash, and Missouri Pacific, the Union Pacific, the Canadian Pacific and trans-Pacific connections, the Chicago & Northwestern, and Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé, the Denver & Rio Grande, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and the Northern Pacific. ATTENDANCE.—The number of visitors during the year was 523,522, an increase of 65,071 above the record for 1899. ‘The Museum was closed in the evening during the summer season for the purpose of making repairs to the electric lighting plant. Your attention was directed in the report of last year to the largely increased use of the Museum’s material by classes from public and private schools. The record for the year shows that 5,302 teachers and scholars availed themselves of the privilege of studying the collections. Certain classes in the public schools of this city are now per- mitted by the Board of Education to visit the Museum during recitation hours to examine the collections in connection with their daily studies. Accessions.—I invite your attention to the long list of acces- sions in the later pages of this report. Of special note is the gift of the Andrew Ellicott Douglas Collection of Prehistoric Indian Relics. Mr. Douglas has been engaged in forming this collection since 1887. He began with a single find of forty-five objects, and now his collection numbers twenty-three thousand specimens. The collection is complete in itself, and is of unique scientific value. Many of the specimens are of exquisite beauty, and the terms of gift provide for the preservation of its integrity as a collection. Mr. Fordham Morris has presented the Trustees with a large portrait of the late John J. Audubon, the naturalist, painted by his sons, John and Victor. This has been placed in the reading Report of the President. 13 room of the library with the pictures presented by the late Mr. C. P. Huntington, and by Mr. William C. Havemeyer and other friends of the Museum. EXxprEDITIONS.—The several Museum expeditions during the year have secured important knowledge in relation to past and present peoples. This will be mde known through the exhibition of specimens obtained, and by the series of papers and memoirs now in course of publication. Jesup North Pacific Expedition.—During the present year the party sent to the Amoor River in Siberia returned, bringing much information relating to the tribes inhabiting that area. Dr. Berthold Laufer, who was in charge of this work, collected infor- mation particularly among the Gold, Gilyak and Ainu, and his collections illustrate the life of these tribes. During the past year a party was also sent out to the Sea of Okhotsk to carry on investigations among the Chukchee and the Koryak. ‘This party is in charge of Mr. Waldemar Jochelson, who is to devote himself to a study of the Koryak and Yukagheer, while Mr. Waldemar Bogoras is to concentrate his attention particularly upon the Chukchee. Mr. Alexander Axelrod is to do anthropometric work among these tribes. Work was also carried on on Vancouver Island, where, during the past year, Dr. Boas continued his former researches among the Kwakiutl Indians. Mr. Livingston Farrand continued his work among the Quillayute on the west coast of the State of Washington, and Mr. James Teit was engaged in investi- gations among the Chilcotin Indians. Many specimens from these regions were secured for the Museum. In August, Dr. John R. Swanton started for Queen Charlotte Islands, where he is to remain for a year, investigating the Haida. Mrs. Morris K. Jesup Expedition—Mr. A. L. Kroeber has remained in charge of this expedition, and has continued his work on the symbolism of the Arapaho Indians, spending the greater part of his time among the northern Arapho in Wyoming, from which place he has sent a very large collection of specimens to the Museum. 14 Report of the President. Huntington Expedition to California.—The work of collecting among the fast-vanishing tribes of California, which was insti- tuted by the late Mr. C. P. Huntington, was continued during the present year. Dr. Roland B. Dixon continued his work suc- cessfully among the Maidu Indians in the foothills of the Sierras east of Sacramento River, and he visited a number of other tribes for comparative study. There is much yet to be done among the California Indians, and it is hoped that this exploration may be continued. Villard Expedition to Oregon.—T he conditions among the Indians of Oregon are such that the extinction of a number of tribes may be expected within a few years. ‘This fact induced the late Mr. Henry Villard to provide for an investigation of these tribes; and during the past summer Dr. L. Farrand made a thorough investigation of the Alsea, a tribe which is reduced to not more than about a dozen individuals. At the same time Dr. Farrand succeeded in making a valuable collection of specimens illustrat- ing the primitive life of several tribes of this region. Mexican Expedition—During the winter of 1899-1900 Mr. Saville was engaged in the exploration of the ruins of Mitla and vicinity. He was very successful in the scientific results of the exploration, and discovered many important facts in relation to the architecture of the buildings composing this noted group. Several cruciform subterranean structures were found at Mitla, the walls of which were in several instances as elaborately orna- mented with mosaic work as are those of the great “palaces.” By the generous aid of the Duke of Loubat, Mr. Saville was able to return to Mitla in November last, where he is now engaged in exploration. The B. T. B. Hyde and F. E. Hyde, Jr., Southwestern Expe- dition.—In April last, Dr. A. Hrdli¢ka, accompanied by Mr. W. Orchard, an assistant in the department, carried on anthropo- metric and other ethnological research in New Mexico, Arizona and southern Colorado. He visited the pueblos of Moki, Zufi, Report of the President. 15 Laguna, Acoma, Isleta, Jemes, San Domingo, San Juan and Taos; and the Apache reservations at White River, San Carlos, Mesca- lero ; also the Jicarillas and southern Utes. He was so successful as to obtain the measurements of over nine hundred Indians of the various tribes and groups visited ; also many physical examina- tions, eighty facial moulds, and over five hundred negatives of the people and their occupations. He also secured the materials for several ethnic groups, and fifty skulls and skeletons with various objects found in ancient graves. It now remains to make similar researches on the more western tribes and those of portions of Mexico, in order to complete the plan of comparative study of the south and west. In connection with this work, the Messrs. Hyde have formed in the department a special reference library of works relating to the southwestern portion of America. They have bought a number of paintings by distinguished artists, and have had hundreds of photographs printed from the negatives taken by the several expeditions. They have also had several hundred lantern-slides made for use in lectures illustrating the particular subjects of their work. ‘This great interest on their part, and their generous contributions to the Museum, cannot be too highly commended. During the summer vacation the Curator was able to visit New Mexico in connection with the work of this expedition, and to make a comparative study of a large number of ruins on the mesas and in the cafions in relation to their contem- poraneity and their greater or less antiquity. In addition to the results obtained by their expeditions, the Messrs. Hyde have been able to purchase several important collections, made several years ago at the cliff houses and from caves, which are of great value for comparative study, and could not now be obtained from these sites. South American Expedition.—TVhe most important receipts from Mr. Bandelier’s researches during the year are from his explora- tions of ancient tombs in the vicinity of Lake Titicaca. Included in this lot are many trephined skulls, also various specimens of pottery and other objects from tombs and village sites. Our col- lection, showing the different forms of trephining by the prehistoric peoples of Peru and Bolivia, is made one of great importance by 16 Report of the President. these large additions. ‘This collection is now exhibited in a case on the Western Gallery. Explorations in New Jersey..—TVhrough the generous and con- tinued patronage of Dr. F. E. Hyde, the important work in the glacial gravel and other deposits in the Delaware Valley, and the exploration of old village sites and burial-places, have been continued by Mr. Ernest Volk. A number ot specimens of the handiwork of man have been found by Mr. Volk under such con- ditions as to show their great antiquity and their contemporaneity with the formation of certain of these deposits. The evidence thus secured during these many years of conscientious research “has made it impossible for any one familiar with the facts to doubt that man was living at the time of the deposit of these formations in the valley.” Mr. Volk has also secured remains of several human skeletons, which were found at such great depth, and under such conditions, as to prove their very considerable an- tiquity. He has also obtained a large number of objects relating to the early Indian occupation of the valley. Local Explorations —The small appropriation granted for the exploration of the shell-heaps, Indian village sites, and burial- places in the limits of the city or in its immediate vicinity, sufficed to keep Mr. Harrington in the field during the summer. He was fortunate in discovering an ancient village site on Long Island, which was thoroughly examined, from which he collected pottery, stone implements, and other objects, as well as several skeletons. Afterward he explored several interesting rock shelters north of this city. There are other similar shelters which should be ex- plored before the close of the coming summer. Through these local explorations Mr. Harrington has interested several parties who have given a number of specimens to the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.—During the last six years the Department of Anthropology has made such remarkable progress that one is tempted to dwell upon the results attained, and to prophesy for its future; but I must confine myself to brief extracts from the report of Professor Putnam in relation to its Report of the President. cy development during the past year, with the conviction that in time the department will present as perfect a history of the life of man as it is possible to secure. To bring this about, however, we must not feel that because we have obtained so much, our efforts should be diminished in the slightest degree. On the contrary, what has been accomplished should be our incentive to still greater work, that in the end there shall be no regret over lost opportunities. Realizing our responsibilities in relation to future generations, we can but acknowledge our present duty of securing the means for unremitting labors by interesting as many persons as possible in this great educational work, and thereby securing foundations and special funds for its accomplishment. Many enlightened and lib- eral patrons have helped in the past, and are helping now, while some have been called from: their labors. It is to be hoped that these examples will be followed by others, until, with many patrons providing the means for research and for gathering the treasures to be displayed in the palatial structure to be extended by the City, this Museum shall] increase from year to year, and in every way shall be the great centre—in the metropolis of America—for the promulgation of knowledge to the people. To remain stationary in our work, and to limit our objects, would be to lose all hope for the future of the department. The life of man has many phases, and these must be traced in all parts of the earth. To understand his appearance and his life on this continent, we must have the means of comparative study of the facts offered by other lands. It is therefore essential that while still greater efforts should be made for research in America, in order to obtain every possible fact relating to pre-Columbian times and to our so-called native peoples, we are also bound to make special exertions for the accumulation of data relating to every other land. The new collections arriving during the year were catalogued, poisoned, and put on exhibition or stored to await the completion of the halls assigned to the department. A new system of keeping the records of the department has been introduced, and the correspondence and information relat- ing to each collection have been brought together and filed. The system consists in giving each collection an accession number and 18 Report of the President. entering in the inventories the accession number of each specimen. All information relating to the accession is placed in a numbered envelope, so that it is possible, whenever desired, to find the whole correspondence relating to a given specimen or collection. A card catalogue is kept of all the accessions. As a provision of safety, the envelopes containing these im- portant records are placed in a document room, where they may be subject to the call of the department. In connection with this matter, the curator also suggests that a copy should be made of all inventories of the department for filing in the document room in another part of the building, in order to guard against the loss of these records by accident to the inventories in daily use in the department. Besides the inventories, the department is begin- ning a card catalogue of specimens. Instructions were given to assistants in the department to prepare cards for every addition in their sections as received during this year, and to continue the work on past accessions whenever practicable. For this great work, additional assistants are required in order to bring it to the desired speedy conclusion. Nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-six entries of specimens received have been made in the catalogues during the year, and 3,219 negatives and lantern-slides have been catalogued. The work of installation of the Ethnological Section, which is under the special charge of Dr. Boas, was carried on in the North Hall on the first floor, which, according to the plans of the depart- ment, is to contain only the collections from the North Pacific coast of America. ‘The remainder of the Emmons Collection has been placed on exhibition, and the collections of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition are now exhibited in this hall. A descriptive pamphlet showing the arrangement of the hall, and giving much valuable information, was prepared by Dr. Boas, and has been distributed to visitors specially interested. In the western vesti- bule there has been placed a number of large totem-poles, grave- posts, and house-posts, and several casts of rock inscriptions belonging to the collection in the adjoining North Hall, where there is not room for their exhibit owing to their size. In this vestibule, also, the Omaha skin tent presented by Dr. F. E. Hyde has been pitched. Report of the President. 19 The installation of the collections in the West Hall on the first floor was completed so as to open it to the public on November 1. This hall is to be devoted to the American Indian and Eskimo. As all the halls assigned to the ethnological exhibits will be crowded to their utmost capacity during the coming year, there will not be sufficient room for the exhibition of the collections now on hand, and which are rapidly increasing through the Museum expeditions. The large collection from various countries received from the Ecumenical Conference, and known as the Missionary Collection, has been temporarily arranged and exhibited in the eastern hall of the East Wing, which is assigned to the Zoélogical Department. It makes an interesting and instructive exhibit from several countries, and forms nuclei about which will grow important exhibits from distant lands. Mr. Saville has had special charge of the archzological collec- “tions from Mexico and Central America. During the winter of 1899-1tg00 he was engaged in an exploration about the ruins of Mitla, working under the special concession of the Mexican Goy- ernment to this Museum. The Mexican Hall was closed for a time while being re-arranged, but was re-opened to the public on November 1, when a brief sketch of the contents of the hall was printed for distribution to visitors. The important Stahl collection from Puerto Rico—a personal gift from the President of the Museum—is placed tem- porarily in this hall. The Western Gallery on the third floor, containing the collec- tions from South America, was opened to the public on Novem- Dera. The delay in the completion of the cases in the West Hall on the second floor, which will contain the archzological exhibits from the cliff houses and pueblos, and also the ethnological material from the present pueblos of the Southwest, as well as certain other North American archzological collections, has pre- vented the installation of the large and important collection received from the Messrs. Hyde. 20 Report of the President. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND ASSOCIATED DEPARTMENTS.— The past year has been one of very little growth in the collections of the Department of Geology, etc., except in the section of miner- alogy. Two gifts to the geological section, however, are worthy of mention here; that from the Smithsonian Institution of a series of specimens of Pre-Cambrian slates containing fragments of a crustacean much more ancient than any organism discovered pre- viously ; and that from H. Linden, secretary of the Zodlogical Station at Naples, Italy, of an entire volcanic bomb of large size from the summit of the volcano of Gran’ Cratere on the island of Vulcano, near Sicily. Eight specimens of the trilobite, 77zarthrus becki, which are remarkable for the preservation of the legs and antennae, were added by purchase. The Curator of the department wrote and placed in position about one thousand exhibition labels for specimens in the James Hall collection, which nearly completes the labeling of that collection. The work on the Catalogue of Types and Figured Specimens in the coliections of the department has advanced rapidly. Part III, comprising pages 190-356 of the Catalogue and including the Devonian forms, was issued in October. ‘The preliminary cards for the most of the remainder of the collection have been pre- pared and the completion of this important work during the coming year is assured. The collection of recent invertebrates has received no additions of importance during the year. The mineral collection has been increased by a number of gifts, the specimens added representing, in some part, obscure species, and also very beautiful examples of more common groups. The Department is again called upon in these additions to recognize the generosity of Miss M. W. Bruce. At the close of the year a changed aspect was given to the whole future of the Mineral Cabinet by the prospect of our acquir- ing the Bement Collection of Minerals. The Gem Collection has received some valuable single additions, embracing Quartz, Agate, Garnet, and Gold specimens, but its character and extent have been, simultaneously with the mineral cabinet, greatly changed through the generosity of Mr. Morgan, Report of the President. 21 in its acquirement of the gem material exhibited by Tiffany & Co. at the Paris Exposition of 1900. The installation of these new gems and the incorporation with them of the specimens of the former collection will proceed in the new Gem Room, and may be expected to be completed during the coming year. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—The Department of Vertebrate Zodlogy has received 728 mammals, 1,048 birds, and about 25 reptiles and fishes. The most important additions have been obtained by purchase, and include various small collections from Alaska, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. The South American collections, though small, have added a considerable number of species not previously represented in the Museum, several of which proved new to science. An especially important addition consists of a number of fine specimens of Moose, Bear and Caribou from the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. A number of valuable speci- mens have been received in the flesh from the New York Zodlogi- cal Park and from the Central Park Menagerie. The Museum is indebted to Mr. W. H. Phelps for a specially noteworthy gift of 300 Venezuelan birds, many of them new to the collection, and embracing the type specimens of several species. About thirty mammals, forty-six birds, four reptiles and five fishes have been mounted and added to the Exhibition Collection ; also thirteen mounted skeletons of mammals, including three Gorilla skeletons (male, female, and young), an Orang, Gibbon, Potto, and Ornithorhynchus. Four mammal groups have been added to the series designed to illustrate the fauna of the imme- diate vicinity of New York City, and others are well advanced in preparation. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALZONTOLOGY.— This Depart- ment will celebrate the decennial of its establishment by the Trustees in May, 1got, as its organization was completed just ten years ago. Inthe Curator’s report to the President a brief review of the history of the Department is made, including an outline of various expeditions after fossil mammals and reptiles in the 22 Report of the President. Rocky Mountains and an account of the very important acquisi- tions which have been made by purchase and exchange. ‘There are altogether in the collection 8,534 specimens of fossil mammals, varying from a single tooth to complete skeletons. Six hundred and forty-eight specimens of fossil reptiles have been collected, and this number will be increased by 3,245 specimens in the second Cope collection. The exhibition has been enriched by many exchanges. Four hundred and thirty-eight specimens, and one hundred and fifteen casts have been sent out in exchange, chiefly to Museums in Europe. The total number of specimens in the department is now estimated at 12,708. The department has thus advanced a long way towards its original purpose of giving a complete history of the vertebrate life on the North American continent, but there are some important gaps to be filled, especially among the fishes. During the past year valuable exchanges have been received, especially from Stuttgart, and additional exchange collections are expected in the near future. Four separate expeditions were sent into the field; the largest force returned to the famous “Bone Cabin” quarry in Wyoming and secured 100 specimens, including parts of skulls, limbs and separate bones of Dinosaurs not hitherto represented in the col- lection. Late in the season, with the codperation of Mr. G. R. Wieland of Yale University, through the courtesy of Professor Beecher, an extensive survey was made in the Black Hills region, which resulted in the securing of parts of two more Dinosaurs. Mr. Barnum Brown returned from Patagonia with twenty-four boxes of the ancient fossil mammals of South America, which are now being worked up for immediate exhibition. In July he was sent by the Curator into the Laramie beds of Wyoming and returned in January with a complete skeleton of a duck-bill Dino- saur, and an incomplete skeleton of a carnivorous Dinosaur ; these will make beautiful exhibition specimens. The fourth expedition, under Mr. Gidley, revisited the fossil mammal beds of Texas and secured a fine skull and jaws of a new type of elephant, portions of the skeletons of fossil horses and limbs of extinct camels. Report of the President. 23 A special photographic dark room has been fitted up for the Department, and, at the expense of the Curator, a very beautiful series of photographs have been taken by Mr. Anderson of some of the finer specimens in the collection ; also of some of Knight’s restorations of the extinct vertebrates. It is proposed to publish these restorations, together with the photographs of the complete mounted skeletons upon which they are based. The work of cataloguing has proceeded steadily, Dr. Matthew taking charge of the mammals. Dr. Hay has taken charge of the reptiles, but has given some time to the mammals. All of our collections except the Patagonian collection and the second Cope collection are now catalogued. In the work of cataloguing the Dinosaurs, Mr. Granger and Mr. Thompson have rendered valu- able assistance. Professor Osborn went abroad partly in the interests of the Department and represented the Museum at the Geological Con- gress in Paris. Dr. Matthew was given a leave of absence for quite an extensive tour of the foreign museums, during which he made many valuable notes and observations. After a number of experiments a permanent method of mount- ing the small specimens in attractive form with the use of fixed color cards has been adopted. Dr. Matthew and Mr. Thompson have made considerable progress in this work. DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.—Duting the past year con- siderable progress has been made in the arrangement of the study collection of Coleoptera, and a large number of specimens have also been placed on exhibition. One hundred enlarged drawings of minute beetles have been made, and are ready for exhibition cases. The Very Rev. E. A. Hoffman has generously donated 1,000 specimens of butterflies from North and South America and Asia. These will be placed on exhibition as soon as the cases can be provided. The entire collection of butterflies presented by Dr. Hoffman now aggregates over 5,000 specimens. About 800 specimens of local Hymenoptera have been placed on exhibition, 24 Report of the President. From July 10 to August 1o the Curator spent his time in the Black Mountains in western North Carolina for the purpose of of collecting material. Over 3,000 specimens were obtained, all of which have been mounted. The results of the expedition are such as to warrant the continuation of the researches. Field work in the vicinity of New York has resulted in the addition of many rare species to our local collection. A monograph of the Sesiidz, a work containing about 150 pages, with eight colored plates, has been prepared for the Memoirs. Liprary.—The report of the Librarian reveals an increase of 9,157 volumes, making a total of 52,689 volumes. The most notable addition to the Library is the gift of General Egbert L. Viele, U. S. A., of 1,136 volumes, 960 Nos., 1,833 pamphlets and 66 maps. Many of these works enable the Librarian to complete unfilled series which were very difficult to obtain. The Museum is also indebted to the Honorable Amos EK. Cum- mings and the Honorable William Astor Chanler for contribu- tions of government publications required to complete missing numbers. The Duke of Loubat has also donated a number of very valu- able and rare works pertaining to anthropology. DePpARTMENT OF PuBLic INSTRUCTION.—Prof. Albert S. Bick- more has delivered the regular courses of lectures under the terms of the contract with the State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion, and has given two courses of four lectures each to the mem- bers of the Museum by request of the Trustees. The free lectures delivered on Tuesday evenings under the auspices of the Board of Education have been attended by large and appreciative audiences. Several courses of lectures have been delivered under the auspices of Columbia University on Saturday evenings. In compliance with the request of the President, Mr. Frank M. Chapman, Assistant Curator of the Department of Vertebrate Zoblogy, gave a series of six lectures to the members of the Museum and the Audubon Society. Report of the President. 25 The lectures were given at the Museum on Saturday afternoons and were illustrated with stereopticon views. LECTURES TO THE TEACHERS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. =, Pror.

History, Seventy-seventh Street and Central Park West, New York City, Wednesday, October 30, TQO0. Opening Address of Morris K. Jesup, President of the Museum. ““ MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM oF NATURAL HIsrory, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I am commissioned by the Board of Trustees to give you a hearty welcome to this new Auditorium, which has just beencompleted. It is intended that these exercises shall be brief, in order that you may have an opportunity to visit the adjoining halls of exhibition “Before the Trustees can act with reference to this important addition to the Museum Building, it becomes necessary that a formal presentation be made to the Museum authorities by the proper municipal authorities, and therefore, without further cere- mony, I introduce the Hon. George C. Clausen, President of the Department of Parks of the City of New York, and Commissioner of the Boroughs of Manhattan and Richmond.” Address of the Honorable GEORGE C. CLAUSEN, President of the Department of Parks, presenting the building on behalf of the City to the Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History : Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : In a little more than thirty years the Museum of Natural History, in the City of New York, has grown from a very meagre and poorly housed nucleus to the grand and inspiring proportions which you now look upon—proportions of such majesty and beauty as to excite the admiration not only of scientists and art lovers everywhere, but also of all men of taste and refinement. The history of the institution. is in many ways unique and in every way interesting. It was in the year 1869 that a little band of public-spirited men, headed by John David Wolfe, Robert Colgate, Benjamin H. Field, Robert L. Stuart, Adrian Iselin, Benjamin B. Sherman, Wm. A. Haines, Theodore Roosevelt, Howard Potter, Wm. T. Blodgett, Morris K. Jesup, D. Jackson Steward, J. Pierpont Morgan, A. G. P. Dodge, Charles A. Dana, Joseph H. Choate and 38 Address—George C. Clausen. Henry Parish, was created by the Legislature a body corporate to be known as the American Museum of Natural History, and to be located in the City of New York, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a museum and library, to encourage and develop the study of natural science, to advance the general knowledge of kindred subjects and to furnish popular instruction in them. At this time the exhibits of the Museum were tolerated ina few cramped and unsightly rooms of the old Arsenal on the Fifth Avenue side of the Park. To-day many of the exhibits of the institution are known to men of scientific research in every civilized country, and it is nowhere disputed that the Museum buildings themselves are admirably fitted for the display of the priceless treasures which they contain. These results have been brought about by a singularly original combination of partnership, which, under sanction of the law, has been entered into by the citizens of New York in their corporate capacity and the President and Trustees of the Museum. Under this exceedingly felicitous arrangement, it is mutually agreed that the City shall pay for the erection of the buildings and for their maintenance, while the Trustees have taken upon themselves the responsibility of providing the exhibits, the library, the lectures and other means of instruction and mental recreation. This arrangement is perpetual, irrevocably binding upon both parties. It is expressly stipulated that the contract shall continue for all time. By it Manhattan Square is given over to the uses of the Museum. It is provided that suitable buildings shall be erected thereon at the cost of the City; that they shall be properly maintained and policed by the City ; that the exhibits shall be supplied by the Association ; and that the Museum, in its entirety, shall be under the sole control and management of the Trustees for the free use and benefit of all the people. Both parties to this agreement have faithfully lived up to the compact, which happily both have regarded as sacred. The Trustees, on the one hand, headed by their wise and far-seeing, high-minded and open-handed President, Morris K. Jesup, have made the people of the Western Metropolis in very truth ‘‘ the heirs of all the ages” by spreading before them in most attractive form evidences of the development and progress of the earth and of man from the earliest time until the present day. The City, on its part, has kept faith by providing with lavish hand the money with which to erect and maintain these magnificent halls. The first building cost $700,000. Under the laws of 1877 an addition was provided for at a cost of $800,000. Later on the east wing was completed at a cost of $550,000, while under the laws of 1895 and 1896 two other additions were made, the one costing $510,000 and the other $500,c00. In 1897 an additional half million was provided for the completion and equipment of these wings. The cost of all the buildings and their equipment, from first to last, has been in round numbers $3,500,000, while the sum expended for maintenance up to the present day has been $972,000. And, sir, as the representative here of the City Government, I think that I may fittingly congratulate the present administration, the administrations which have gone before it, the Trustees of the Museum, and all the people, upon the fact that in all these vast expenditures there has never been even a suspicion of party self-seeking or the slightest hint of the diversion of one dollar for a political or unworthy purpose! To the credit of the City it can be proudly said that all its representatives, during the thirty years of its contract with the Trustees, have with scrupulous fidelity lived up to its part of the bargain for common good. The City has cheerfully and liberally provided the buildings, policed and maintained them, but never in the slightest degree has it attempted to interfere with the management of the Museum. Such management, the control of the exhibits, of the library, of the lectures, and of everything pertaining to them, has most properly been left entirely within the contro] of the very competent gentlemen who have been trained for such service. It is only by holding firmly Address—Morris K. Jesup. 39 to this policy that our noble institution has progressed so marvelously in the past, and will continue to progress in the future. In this spirit, Mr. Jesup, holding steadily to the views which IL have expressed, and in obedience to the law, it is now my duty and very great pleasure to turn over to your competent custody, and the custody of your fellow Trustees, these new halls of the American Museum of Natural History. Address by Morris K. Jesup, President, accepting the Building on Behalf of the Trustees. “PRESIDENT CLAUSEN: On behalf of the Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History, I receive this beautiful edifice and acknowledge the kindly views which you have expressed. These, sir, are fully reciprocated, not only by myself, but by the Trustees, whom I have the honor to represent. “You quite touched my heart, Mr. Clausen, when you spoke of the kindly interest that has always existed between the several departments of the City Government and this Museum. I want to say that during my twenty years administration as President there has not been one word of discord, or even of disagreement, between this institution and the city authorities. On the other hand, the kindliest sympathy and coéperation have always existed. “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: There are three departments of this Museum,—the department of science, the department of exhi- bition, and the department of education. ‘The first of these— science—provides the material which makes the others possible. Science indicates the direction that our exploring expeditions shall take ; it determines what material shall be collected, and how this material may be exhibited to obtain profitable educational returns. How profitless is mere exhibition without instruction ! “We are met together to-night to consecrate this magnificent hall to the cause of education, and you will soon be addressed by those who are competent to speak on this subject. “Tt would not be right for me to close my remarks without mentioning the architects who have planned, designed and con- structed this hall. I refer to Messrs. Cady, Berg & See. These gentlemen have had in charge the construction of this Museum almost from the beginning, and you yourselves are the best judges of the way in which they have performed their duties. “Mr. Clausen has made mention of what the city has given to this great enterprise, and it is proper, therefore, for me to mention what Trustees and friends have given. While it is impossible to make an accurate statement, I think I am justified in saying that the contributions of money and the cash value of the collections aggregate upwards of $3,000,000. While Mr. Clausen has called attention to the generous amount contributed by the city toward the maintenance of this institution since its opening, namely, the 40 Address— Bird §. Coler. sum of $900,000, you should know that even this large sum has not been sufficient to pay our running expenses. Nearly every year the Trustees have willingly, yes, cheerfully, contributed from $15,000 to $30,000 to make up an inevitable deficiency. “T might continue and say many things about this Museum,—its past, its present and its future,—but I will not take up time. “T will now ask the Hon. Bird S. Coler, the comptroller in charge of the finance department of the City, to say a few words.” Address by the Hon. Birp S. CoLer, Comptroller of the City of New York: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen - It is a great pleasure and honor for me to be here this afternoon and to say a little something to you about the City of New York, and something, maybe, about an idea, or a scheme of education. The present City of New York is the result of the consolidation of ninety separate corporations. I will not worry you with the details of that consolidation, or with a few of our troubles up to the present time ; but, merely to show you the magnitude of our city in a comparative sense, I would say that we have a population of over 3,500,000 ; that the bonded debt of the City of New York is more than the bonded debt of all the States in the Union combined ; that half of that debt is self-sustaining through the earnings of our water department and our docks. Looking at our expenses, the combined expense of the City of New York, of bond and appropriation accounts, is more than five times that of the State of New York itself, is two-thirds of that of the States of the Union, and is one- seventh of that of the National Government itself. or educational purposes we are now expending in the neighborhood of $20,000,000 a year ; that is, the cost of education for the greater city is more, by several millions of dollars, than the entire cost of running the old city of Brooklyn—a city of over a million people—in all its branches and for all purposes. So you can see the immense sum that is required for purely educational purposes. It is nineteen per cent. of your entire budget. Now, it seems to me that the time has come when we have got to face the enormous increase in expenditures for educationai purposes in an intelligent and fair and practical way. Maybe there is a legitimate reason why we should give every child in the City of New York a college education. Maybe some one may argue that it would be the best thing for the city to force every one to take a higher education. In the last few years that seems to have been brought to the front—the idea that the higher development must come through a system of schools that would lead up to every one getting a higher education. I think the idea is right to a large degree, but we must face it in a way that will not increase the cost to such an extent that it will make taxation in this city a tremendous burden. We have, as I have said, $20,000,000 a year, or in that neighborhood ; that is, the bond appropriations and the appropriations for the schools themselves ; and it seems to me that we can work together upon an idea that will bring forth all there is in education, and upon a basis with which every one can be satisfied, both those who believe in higher education and those who believe in not expending quite so much money for the various purposes. I believe it is a fact that nearly ninety per cent. of our children leave our schools before the age of fifteen years. A great many parents cannot afford to allow their children to remain in the schools beyond that time. It seems to me that we should have a definite system of education that, up to that age, would be practically complete as far as it went, but then, instead of allowing every one to force their children to go higher at the cost and expense of the city (because, as a general rule, those who can afford to leave their children in schools after Address—Bird S. Coler. Al the age of fifteen can afford to pay something towards their maintenance), we should still have our high schools and our colleges, but we should allow only those to go up who show by their ability and their genius that it would pay the city to give them the higher education. To-day our high schools and our College of the City of New York are crowded with children, the only purpose of whose parents is to keep them at education and to keep them from going into business until they get older,— children who have shown no particular ability for a higher education. I do not believe that they are entitled to it at the expense of the city ; nevertheless I do believe that it is a paying investment for the city to have high schools and the College of the City of New York, and, if needs be, to purchase scholarships in ‘the other great colleges ; so that when a boy leaves the grammar school he can earn the right to enter the high school by a fair examination. This ought not to be made so hard that it would preclude boys who were serious and had an honest intent and wanted to educate themselves. The examination ought to be so graded that these boys would have the chance to work their way up to and through a college, even at the expense of the city. Then, when a boy or a young woman came out of one of those schools, they would be known as a man or a woman who had earned their education at the hands of the City of New York. But what is to be done with the great mass, the ninety per cent. that have to leave at the age of fifteen? I believe the city owes more to them by far than it owes to the children who are kept in there, not because they show any ability, but merely because their parents wish to keep them in school at the cost of the city. I believe that the great ninety per cent. are entitled to an opportunity to acquire for themselves an education while they are at work, and while they are helping to support their families. The greatest part of education (I know it is so in my own case, with the little education that I have) is acquired after leaving school ; and now, throughout the great City of New York, we are beginning to recognize the fact of supplemental education. To-day the Board of Estimate has before it a request for an appropriation of $3,000,000 to complete the great public library at Forty-second Street and Fifth Avenue. That will be granted in afew days. Throughout the Borough of Brooklyn, in the last two years, we have established five separate free circulating libraries. This year we have made an appropriation that will allow the development of double that number. All through the City of New York we are trying to develop a policy of supple- mental education. That brings the question down right here to your own great enterprise and the enterprise of the Metropolitan Museum of Art ; and it is a great pleasure for me to be here and to state to you that I believe that this Institution is one of the greatest starting points for a supplemental education in the City of New York. The development also throughout our city of the free lecture system, of which Professor Leipziger, who is here this afternoon, is the head, will do more good to our city than the system of allowing parents to force a higher education at the expense of the city. Let us give the great ninety per cent. a chance to get ahead and make something of themselves in the world. As regards the appropriations for your Institution, I think this year you will get over $130,000 for maintenance. I do not know how far that will go, but I think it will go a great deal farther than the last year’s money went. We are facing in the City of New York a great problem. ‘The problem, to my mind, of the government of the United States itself, is the problem of city life and city government ; and it is only by the development of the individual citizen, so that he has a better knowledge, a better education, and a better interest in public affairs, that we shall ever have a better permanent government ; and I believe it is the duty of every intelligent person, man or woman, to do something for the great mass of our children that have to leave the schools before the age of fifteen. I thank you for your attention. 42 Address—fenry M. Letpsiger. Remarks by President Jesup, introducing Dr. H. M, Letpziger, Ph.D., Supervisor of Lectures of the Board of Education, ‘“T expected to have the pleasure of welcoming here to-night Mr. Miles M. O’Brien, President of the Board of Education, but I received this telegram from him a few minutes ago: ‘“*T regret exceedingly that unavoidable circumstances prevent me from tendering you in person my hearty congratulations on the opening of the new lecture hall, which adds a new and important link to the educational chain of our great city, and of which all our citizens may be proud.’ “Fortunately we have another representative of the Board of Education, Prof. H. M. Leipziger, whom I have the pleasure of introducing.” Address by Dr. Henry M. Lerpzicer, Ph.D., Supervisor of Lectures of the Board of Education: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen - Twenty-five years ago, in the address made by Prof. Henry on the occa- sion of the laying of the corner stone of this noble Institution, which is gradually assuming its proper dimensions, he called attention to the spiritual side of the Museum, and in his address used these words: ‘‘ How incomparably greater would the importance of this Museum be were there connected with it a pro- fessor, who, at stated periods of the year, would give courses of free lectures on the objects which it contains, who would expound the laws of the phenomena of nature, who would discourse on the changes the world has undergone during geological periods. What an effect an Agassiz would have, not only in enlightening the heads, but warming the hearts, of his audience !” Less than a generation has passed since these words of the distinguished scientist were spoken, and his hope is nobly realized in this beautiful hall dedicated to the spread of the knowledge of science for the service of man. This vast Museum and this lecture hall bear testimony to the belief of the American people, not alone in the value, but in the necessity of education, and their belief that the term should have the widest possible interpretation, that it should begin at the kindergarten, and include the university, the public library and the public museum, and it should know no limit as to age or sex. In the spirit of this belief, both private philanthropy and public munificence have joined in producing the transformation scene which we witness to-day, and which is but an earnest of what is yet to be. In President Jesup’s address of eight years ago he stated that this Museum offers to the ‘‘masses of the Empire City a home where they may find that recreation, entertainment and education which serves to elevate and ennoble their life and character.” That it has fulfilled—and will fulfil in increasing measure—these purposes, no one can doubt who has observed the thousands who enter these halls, or the crowds who, during the past eight years, have attended the lectures that have been given. The influence of the Museum and the lectures in widening the mental horizon of the listener, who can measure ! Some, perhaps, are soothed and recreated, others are inspired and stimulated to reading and study. ““That stick has been round the world,” exclaimed a man to Sydney Smith, as he held out to him a valued cane. ‘‘ Dear me,” was the reply, ‘‘and yet it is only a stick after all.” To decrease the number of sticks in the world, to increase the number of men who can observe, can compare, classify and ¢hizk, is the purpose of the teaching of science. To increase the number of those in a great city who shall take a delight in nature and its wonders, who shall find Address—FHenry M. Leipsiger. 43 wholesome recreation therein, and thus tind an antidote against life’s sorrows and a strengthener against temptation, all this is furthered by the spread of scientific knowledge. And the collections, amply classified as they may be, fail, unless from the lips of the living teacher comes the flow of eloquence that vivifies the dead objects and makes the distant near. Do not the facts in this Museum’s history amply prove that the lecture, as a medium of instruction, was never more appreciated? For years past have the lectures by Prof. Bickmore attracted the teachers of our city, the lectures in coéperation with Columbia University have attracted the student, and those given by the Board of Education have attracted the masses. For five years past, through the generosity of the Trustees of this Institution, on each Tuesday evening this hall has been one of the forty or more lecture halls where courses of lectures under the auspices of the Board of Education have been given. The total attendance at the Hall of the Museum has been over twenty thousand each year. Rarely has there been a vacant chair, and often was the hall filled long before the time fixed for the beginning of the lecture. The topics of the lectures included travel and natural science, and, as at all our centres, the discovery was made that instruction was much preferred to entertainment. Who can rightly determine the influence of a museum and courses of lectures such as given here. From a quarryman, Hugh Miller became a geologist, and while attending a course of four lectures by Sir Humphrey Davy, the immortal Faraday caught the inspiration which determined his career. But in a broader sense these lectures contribute to the culture of our citizens, and nowhere is that culture more needed than in a democracy and in a city so cosmopolitan as our own. As a means of true refinement nothing is so potent as a love of nature. The story is told that a few years ago a French priest, far advanced in years, was met in the heart of the Rockies. Upon being asked why he, at his time of life, was so far from home unattended, he replied: ‘‘ Six months ago I lay, as I thought, at death’s door. One night I dreamt that I appeared before my Maker and he said tome: ‘My child, how did you like the beautiful world I gave you to dwell in?’ I could make no reply, for I, who had for fifty years preached a better world, had never examined this one at all! Awaking from my dream, I vowed that | would at once proceed to see and to admire some of his works, and so here I am, going round the world.” To the thousand of toilers in this city what an opportunity is afforded by the lectures to the people to get glimpses of the great world. How, by means of the picture thrown on the screen, are the words of the lecturer clarified and intensified. The eye and the ear are both appealed to, and the knowledge thus gotten remains. Great as is the educational value of these lectures, they are justified from the recreative side. The character of our pleasure is an index of our culture and our civilization. A nation whose favorite pastime is the bull-fight is hardly on a plane with one that finds pleasure in the lyceum hall. So if we can make the pleasure of our people consist in the delights of art, in the beauties of literature, and in the pursuit of science, and gradually turn them away from so much that is lowering, are we not doing a real public service? Is not refine- ment, too, one of the ends for which we are aiming—not alone knowledge, but culture; not alone light, but sweetness ; and if we can turn our youth from the street corner to the temple of nature, are we not helping to that end? The course of lectures given in codperation with the Board of Education affords proof of the union of forces for good that is constantly strengthening, and of all agencies that should be so united, those engaged in education should form the closest bond. The schools of the city, the museums of the city and the libraries of the city should be closely connected. The auditor at the lectures or the observer of the collections should find on the shelves of the public library the book that will give the history of the specimen or increase his knowledge of 44 Address—Charles R. Skinner. the subject of the lecture. Signs are not wanting that this union is becoming constantly closer. The widening of opportunity as a result of this union is in line with the policy of the Board of Education under its present energetic President, Mr. Miles M. O’Brien. The schools of our city were never before put to such varied uses. Evening schools, lecture halls, play schools, reading rooms and libraries are now found in our school buildings, all having as their purpose the bringing of the truths of science and the lessons of history within the reach of the common man. And this beautiful lecture hall, amply lighted and properly ventilated, the just pride of our city, serves another purpose. By contrast, it calls attention to the inadequate accommodations provided in many other places where lectures are held, and will speed the day when all the school lecture halls of the city will be properly equipped. Finally, the uses of the lecture hall emphasize the fact that education is ““not a thing for youth only, nor is it a thing for the favored classes only, but it belongs to all and to all periods of life.”’ In this hall, rich and poor alike are welcome to learn the great lessons that nature teaches and to get from a knowledge of science the key to real happiness. Of the seventy-five millions who dwell in our land, but a limited number have been systematically educated. To give the masses hope and knowledge, to teach the truth that ‘‘nothing is too late till the tired heart shall cease to palpitate,” to give larger visions and lofty ideals, to put men and women in touch with noble souls, to bring beauty into the humblest home—all this is the result that will be accomplished through museums and lectures. And may this good work go on till all our people shall possess the truth that shall make them free. Remarks by President Jesup, introducing the Hon. Charles R. Skinner, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. “By a very happy arrangement with the State Department of Public Instruction, the course of lectures which has been so felicitously given by Professor Bickmore has been under the con- trol of the Department of Education at Albany, and I am very happy that we have with us this afternoon the Hon. Charles R. Skinner, Superintendent of the State Department of Public Instruction, and I have great pleasure in introducing him to you.” Address of the Hon. CHARLES R. SKINNER, State Super- intendent of Public Instruction : Tr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen : Let me congratulate you, Mr. President, upon the completion of this monument to free education in our great metropolis. It attests the generosity of the City of New York and is a testimonial to your excellent administration, aided as you have been by other generous friends of education. The growth of educational interests during the past few years is one of the wonders of this receding century, and gives us hope for the century to come. I shall speak particularly i in reference to the relations which for sixteen years the State Department of Public Instruction has sustained to the educa- tional department of this Institution. These relations have been exceedingly close and pleasant, and I believe profitable to many thousands of the masses of the people of the State. In 1884 the first act was passed which placed the Department of Visual Instruction here under the State Department of Public Instruction. This Address—Charles R. Skinner. 45 provided for a free course of lectures to the teachers of the City of New York, and extended that system to the then nine normal schools situated in different portions of the State. It was a modest beginning, but any one interested in educational progress could foresee the great development that was bound to come—that will always come when you strike the heart of the people with an educational force. In 18g1 this system was extended to the teachers’ institutes of the State. A teachers’ institute is a gathering of teachers in each of the counties of the State. This enables the system to reach annually more than 20,000 teachers. The country teachers (if you please) and their thousands of friends are brought in sympathy with this system of instruction. So it extended until 1895—four years afterward—when it was again broadened by an act of the Legislature, so that the lectures given and views exhibited here are now extended to all the cities and villages of the State, thus placing it within the power of the superintendent of schools in these cities and villages to reach nearly nine-tenths of the people of the State. You remember, years ago we heard something about ‘‘ object lessons.” It was a new departure in education. The evolution of education is almost a vevolution now. Here in this hall, and wherever these lectures are repeated (and they are, like the public school system, free to all mankind), the world is brought to our feet, and we see before us the different exhibitions which make us acquainted with every section of the world. In 1887 the then Superintendent of Public Instruction, referring to this system, said: ‘‘ The system is new, but undoubtedly it is destined to have an important part in future educational work.”’ In 1884, when the system first became connected with the State, the total State expenditures for education were $12,000,000. Last year the total expenditures were $28,000,000. So the expenditures of the State for schools and education have kept pace with the growth of this Institution. Surely we can all believe in “‘ expansion” of education. Since the Museum became connected with the State Department, Doctor Bickmore has prepared two hundred (200) lectures, covering all phases of education,—travel, history, biography, science, etc.,—and these lectures have been repeated in every portion of the State. More than 20,000 different stere- opticon views have been prepared and exhibited. We are familiar with the growth of this system through inquiries which reach our State Department, and which daily reach Doctor Bickmore. Inquiries come from every county in the State, from smaller schools that are not entitled to these privileges, begging that they be extended to them. From every State in the Union come requests from State superintendents of public instruction for advice as to how they may secure the advantages which we enjoy. From every nation in the world come inquiries of the same nature. I have been shown a very interesting letter of inquiry from India, where the very purpose which this instruction serves here was presented as an educational influence upon the people of that country. Not long ago Doctor Bickmore took this system in all its phases to exhibit at Paris. I wish he could tell you the many expressions of approval and interest which that exhibition excited. It is safe to say, however, that his mission was successful. He brings home from Paris a gold medal for the educational system which has made this Museum famous. No wonder Doctor Bickmore is in favor of the “‘ gold standard.” Those who originated the scheme of this Museum are entitled to the commendation of every friend of education—of every man who believes that an educated child is better than an ignorant one. It is through this system, exemplified as it has been by what has been done for free lectures in this great city, that it is possible to carry this work all through the cities and villages of this great State. How to properly educate the masses of the people is the great educational problem before us all to-day, Mr. President, and the more we contribute to the education of the masses of the people, the more we can send education into the homes of our pupils, the more we shall contribute to their happiness and to the uplifting of city, state, country and the world. 46 Address—Henry C. Potter. As an illustration of the extent to which this system may be pursued, let me quote the one city of Syracuse, where, under the rules and regulations, we gave them one stereopticon, a copy of every lecture, and aset of the stereopticon slides accompanying it. The Board of Education in that city has purchased eight stereopticons, and has spent more for views every year than the State gives. The lectures are free to all the people. In the city of Watertown the city hall, almost as large a room as this, has been placed at the disposal of the superintendent of schools for the very purpose of repeating the lectures which have been given and will be given here. Thus let us extend the power of this great system of education. Morally and intellectually it is an uplifting force in every community. In this way, by encouraging the broadening of the system by legislative enactment, let us keep at work, Mr. President, until all the people of the State are given the advantage of this medium of happiness and education. Let us, in other words, have a perpetual campaign of education. Remarks of President Jesup, introducing the Right Rev. Henry Cz Potlepe, “ Before inviting you to the treat which Professor Bickmore has in store for you, when you will see the wonderful power of our new equipment for throwing lantern pictures upon these great screens, I will ask our valued friend, Bishop Potter, to say just a few words.” Address of the Right Reverend Henry C. PoTtvEr: Ladies and Gentlemen : There is an eminent propriety that somebody should say a few words who has no official connection with this undertaking. ‘Their President, Mr. Clausen, has represented the Park Commissioners ; Mr. Coler has represented the City of New York on its financial side; the President and Dr. Leipziger have represented this institution; and Mr. Skinner has represented the great educa- tional system which is one of the chief adornments of the Empire State; but I confess I think you would agree with me that this occasion would be incomplete unless somebody represented the beneficiaries ; and I claim to be one of those —that large constituency, including, in one way or another, the millions of people that make up the City of New York, who are to derive, and have derived, the many and various benefits from the existence of the Museum of Natural History, in connection with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, of which we have heard something this afternoon. I confess I followed with sympathy and admiration the line of remark in which Mr. Coler indulged in regard to the scheme of our popular education. I should like to go a step further and remind you of the fact, to which, I venture to say, every teacher in our public schools will bear witness, that a very large proportion of the boys and girls who are forced out of the public schools at the age of fifteen or thereabouts for the purpose of earning their own living, as well as the very considerable proportion of those who stay in the public schools, and discover for the next three or four years no particular aptitude in the direction of higher learning, discover it later in life. Now, have we sufficiently recognized the relation of such a fact as this to these Museums of Natural History and of Art? With that later life, when school days are done, come, far oftener, I think, than most of us realize, two things, late awakening powers and curiosities and leisure. What shall men and women who have done with school, but are hungry for knowledge, and conscious of idle hours and unemployed faculties, do with Address—Henry C. Potter. 47 them? Every new invention, every increased convenience, every clever substi- tute for the work of the hands, by the work of a machine or the product of a factory, gives multitudes of people more leisure hours, and with them, often I fear, idle monotony, but often also, I rejoice to believe, more disposition for other tasks and interests than the mere handicrafts of the shop or the household. Last evening I spent a night in Ulster County under the roof of a friend, to whom I ventured to call attention to the interesting fact of the large decay of the old-fashioned handicrafts of women. I gave a few days from my own experience as illustrating the kind of hospitality, always kindly and generous, that one whose office is a very peripatetic one on one side of it so constantly experiences, and I described, among other things, the hospitable board of a good lady at which I had sat a little while before, on which, from the beginning to the end of the feast, there was not one single thing to be eaten which she had mixed with her own cunning, or knowledge, or cleverness. I inquired about the pressed tongue, the Boston brown bread, and preserves, as they came on in succession, and I learned that one had come from a shop, in a tin, another in a can, and another in a glass jar. I said to this lady: ‘‘ Did it ever occur to you what is being lost out of our American life by the multiplication of inven- tions which are giving to us our food in prepared forms, and depriving the people who give it to us of the opportunity of preparing it for us?” ‘‘ Ah, yes,” she said, “‘ but did it ever occur to you how much larger a leisure comes into the life of a woman who is thus released from the old tasks?” ‘‘ Yes,” I said, ‘‘I had thought of that. But what is she learning? What is she taught to do with her leisure?” My friend, Dr. Leipziger, has reminded us of the privilege of the com- panionship of nature. But ask the people who live most in the environment of nature in its directest sense, how much they know about it? How much have they been trained to observe of a stone, or of a flower, or of a sky? And when they come into a realm of wider knowledge, how much has that higher culture, which it is the office of such an institution as this to give, been within their reach, or added to their knowledge? I was standing in the Alhambra some years ago, listening with a party of tourists, English, American and other, to the description which the guide was giving us of the splendid hall in which we stood. He undertook, among other things, to translate some of the legends, which are in Arabic, on the walls, and which some of you will remember there. I confess I thought them extremely tame and pointless to be honored with such a place; but I received an electric shock when, after our guide had traced with his hand a sentence which ran along the wall in Arabic, saying: ‘* That means ‘Truth is good, and happy is he who pursues it,’” I heard behind me a voice saying, ‘‘ That’s a thundering lie!” I looked around, and there was a man in a fustian jacket, who, I found out afterwards, was a Scotch engineer on his way to Constantinople to take charge of a factory. He had been educated largely in London, in the British Museum, and he had, in connection with the University of London, mastered enough Arabic to relieve the ignorance of all the rest of us, and to silence that guide, I hope, forever. Now, then, stop a moment and realize what came into the horizon of that man when he got into Constantinople, incomparably the most beautiful vision as you come up the Sea of Marmora, I think in the world. Imagine him going about and being able to take layer after layer off of that old life and bring it into inspiring contact with his own educated intelligence ; and reflect, ladies and gentlemen, that that is what this institution has brought within the possibility, not only of you and of me, but of the humblest artisan, mechanic, day laborer in this city ! If once the love of knowledge is kindled in him, he has within the worlds of these museums possibilities for enlarging the horizon of his knowledge which are not within the reach, so far as his own resources are concerned, of the wealthiest man on this continent. 48 Address—Henry C. Potter. In the days when we are emphasizing fallacies which undertake to persuade us of the alienation of class from class, nothing, I maintain, is sublimer in its highest aspect than the great educational function of such an institution as this, and the inspiring fact that, whatever has been done by public munificence, side by side, as we have heard here this afternoon, private munificence has arisen with it; that the gifts of the city have been, year after year, matched by the gifts of the individual; and, better still,—though it has not been spoken of here,—that all this is owing most of all, not to money, but to heart and brain. Whatever my friend, the President, has given out of his pocket (and I should not like to embarrass him by asking him how much it is—I have a strong sus- picion), he has given a great deal more and better in the time that he has given, day after day, and year after year, all these twenty years, of a trained intellect, and of a vigilant oversight, in which service he has been helped by the coépera- tion of other intelligent and thoughtful minds, in whose services we have to-day an illustration of what has been doing in our public and private institutions of learning all over the United States. Believe me, ladies and gentlemen, it is this common service, this common sacrifice for the common well-being, which is to bind together in great movements for all that is best in the republic, the people of the whole land. A few views of the Paris Exposition of 1899, as studied by the Department of Public Instruction, were then shown and explained by Prof. Albert S. Bickmore. List or AccESsIONs, 1900. LIBRARY.

L. in Memoriam. oo At an Adjourned Meeting of the Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History, held December 24, 1900, the Presi- dent reported the death of Mr. OswaLp OTTENDORFER. The following minute was unanimously adopted and the Secretary was directed to present a copy of the same to the family of the deceased. OSWALD OTTENDORFER, DigED IN THIS CITY, DECEMBER I5, Igoo. The Trustees of the American Museum of Natural History deem it fitting to give expression upon their records, as nearly as the capacity of language will permit, to their deep regret at the removal of their esteemed friend and associate. His membership of the Board of Trustees of the Museum dates from the year 1886, and while he was deeply interested in forwarding its work, his serious illness in the later years compelled his absence at its assemblings. The incidents of Mr. OTTENDORFER’S early life attest his devotion to the advancement of the best interests of the race. Born in the little Austrian town of Zwittau he early entered upon the pursuit of liberal study, and while thus engaged the flames of a patriotic uprising in the cause of human liberty that burst forth in his native land enlisted his ardent sympathies and his personal prowess, involving great personal hardships, and at the risk of penalties, the rigors of which he narrowly escaped while they were enforced by the loss of life among his comrades in the great cause of liberty. 108 In Memoriam. With these inspirations of early manhood he found his way to America, and ever afterwards was the warm and effective advocate of popular institutions, and with a characteristic breadth of vision whose horizon was above and beyond mere partisanship. His large charities were cast in the direction of popular education, in the advancement of the interests of scientific investigation, in the elevation of art, and of thoughtful provision for the infirmities of age and for the alleviation of suffering without regard to race, sex, color or creed. His native town became chiefly distinguished by being the place of his birth, and by his foundation there of an extensive free Public Library and a spacious Home for Orphans and for persons of advanced years. In this, his adopted city, some years since, he founded a Public Library and a Medical Dispensary, and, at a situation commanding remarkable scenic attrac- tions, he placed the Isabella Heimath, a home for aged men and women, with special departments for chronic invalids and for those convalescent. In the administration of these varied benefactions, until within a few days of his last illness, he took a personal interest. The conduct of the widely potential journal, over which he presided for more than forty years, commanded his like constant and personal supervision, always exercising, as it did under his direction, an influence intended to conserve the highest interests of the City, the State and Nation. His numerous benefactions were of his own devising, and their establishment was brought about unheralded and with an unobtrusive modesty that was with him a marked characteristic. In one capacity or another he was connected with many of the most promi- nent beneficent institutions of this city, and always with the most unselfish and generous zeal for the objects which they were established to promote. It will be long before his place and his steadfast salutary influence as a citizen will be supplied. His associates in the management of the Museum, from whose counsels he is forever withdrawn, now place among its permanent archives this all too brief record of their esteem, respect and affection for the memory of OSWALD OTTENDORFER.

NEW YORK: PRINTED FOR THE MUSEUM. 1902. - = te yine hl na ~ | - FORM OF BEQUEST. LT do hereby give and bequeath to ‘‘THE AMERICAN Muse | Natura History,” of the City of New York, — a ae THIRTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT. To the Trustees and Members of the American Museum of Natural flistory : I have the honor to submit herewith a statement of the pro- ceedings of the Museum for the year rgot. FInances.—The Treasurer’s Report is given on pages 41 to 47, inclusive, presenting in detail the receipts and disburse- ments for Endowment and Maintenance separately. Matintenance.—The estimated cost of maintaining the Museum, as shown in the Budget, approved by the Trustees, Was $23,059 in excess of the city appropriation of $130,000. As the year progressed, circumstances permitted a reduction of the cost of maintenance, and the actual deficit December 31st was $17,773.75. This shortage in the receipts for main- tenance was, as heretofore, paid by the Trustees, who have contributed $268,167 for this purpose since the opening of the Museum. The subscriptions received from the Trustees and others whose names are noted in the Treasurer’s Report, enable the Museum to commence the new year with a cash surplus of $7,641.21. Lindowment Fund.—The Trustees have received the legacy of $25,000 bequeathed to the Museum by their late colleague, Oswald Ottendorfer, and $5,000 from the estate of the late Henry Villard. These bequests were paid in full; the payment of the inheritance tax having been assumed by the executors. The entire sum will be invested and the income used solely for the increase and betterment of the collections. IO Report of the President. Boarp OF TRusTEES.—Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn was made a member of the Board of Trustees and elected Second Vice-President at the annual meeting held in Feb- ruary, 1901. MEMBERSHIP.—During the past year the Museum gained 155 new annual subscribers; the loss by death and resigna- tion was 46, leaving a net gain of tog in this grade of mem- bership. Mrs. C. P. Huntington, Mrs. Frederick F. Thomp- son, Miss Susan Dwight Bliss and Messrs. John L. Cadwalader, George S. Bowdoin, Archer M. Huntington, George Foster Peabody, John D.

Matthiessen and Andrew Ellicott Douglass, of the list of Patrons, and J. H. Dunham, Horace Gray, Samuel B. Schieffelin and Loomis L. White, Life Members. Thirty-five annual contributors, whose names are recorded at the close of the list of Annual Members, have died during the year. TRANSPORTATION.—I acknowledge with many thanks the valuable assistance received from several railroad companies in granting transportation to the persons engaged in the various expeditions sent into the field by the Museum. For these courtesies we are indebted to the following corporations : The Wabash and Missouri Pacific systems, Southern Pacific Company and connecting steamship lines, the Atchison, Report of the President. II Topeka & Santa Fé system, Denver & Rio Grande, Erie system, Chicago & Northwestern, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Burlington system, the Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Canadian Pacific and the Mexican Central and Mexican International Railway Companies. ATTENDANCE.—The use of the collections by public and private educational institutions is a marked feature of the work of the Museum; many of these pupils and teachers come from nearby towns and cities, nearly twenty per cent repre- senting schools in New Jersey, while delegations from Con- necticut, Pennsylvania and Virginia are noteworthy. The record shows that 361 teachers and 4,959 pupils made use of the collections during the year. The total attendance of visitors during the year was 461,026. The Museum was closed in the evening during the Summer months to permit needed repairs to the lighting plant to be made. DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY.—The gift to the Museum by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan of the famous Bement collection of minerals at the close of the year 1900 was briefly noticed in my: last Annual Report, but an extended reference to this col- lection, which is one of the most valuable individual gifts ever received by the Museum, could not be made at the time of pre- paring that report, because the specimens had not then been unpacked and placed in the exhibition cases. The acquisition of this immense collection at once made desirable the erection of an independent Department of Mineralogy. The new de- partment was organized at the beginning of the year, and the Trustees installed as Curator, Mr. Louis P. Gratacap, who had had the care of the minerals for several years, while they were still under the charge of the Curator of Geology. The shells remaining in the central hall on the fourth floor of the Museum building were removed to the fifth floor, the minerals of the former Museum collection were removed from ex- hibition in the desk cases in the western half of the same hall, and from the smaller hall, and the space thus freed was de- 2 Report of the President. voted to the installation of the newly-acquired Bement col- lection. The Curator reports that this collection was found to contain about 12,000 specimens, all of them exhibition material of the highest grade, representative of most of the known established species. The available space, furthermore, was found to be inadequate to the proper display of the Bement collection alone, so that it became necessary to relegate all the best specimens of the old Museum collection to the drawers underneath the cases, to form a reserve or study collection, after sorting therefrom the material that ~ could justly be considered to be duplicates. The preliminary arrangement of such a collection, which has been done in accordance with the latest edition of Dana’s System of Mineralogy and the preparation of the labels is a task of considerable magnitude. The installation was carried forward so rapidly, however, that it was feasible to throw the collection open to the view of the members of the Museum and their friends on Members’ Day, November 26, and to the general public soon thereafter. Many inquiries had been made before that date by the persons interested in miner- alogy as to when the Bement collection would be open to view, and the mineral halls have since been frequently visited both by students of the science and by those who are fond of minerals merely as objects of beauty. It is not too much to say that our Institution now possesses the best and most beautiful exhibition series of mineral specimens in this country, and one of the finest in the world. In his report the Curator calls attention to the facts that not more than half of this great collection has yet been provided with labels or installed on permanent mounts, and that much remains to be done in the way of providing group and explanatory labels, maps to show the geographical distribution of the more common and important minerals, and other accessories for rendering the collection attractive, intelligible and instructive to the average visitor. As a part of the Bement collection the Museum received a ’ series of meteorites that deserves more than the passing notice which can be given it here. The meteorite collection Report of the President. 13 contains representatives of nearly five hundred falls and finds, and ranks as one of the largest collections of fragments of these visitors from space. At present, for lack of other case- room, these valuable and interesting specimens are crowded together in some of the desk cases. The Gem Collection.—At the outset of its existence the Department of Mineralogy was confronted with the problem of installing the Gem collection, which had been greatly enlarged, more than doubled, in fact, by the acquisition of the magnificent Tiffany exhibit at the Universal Exposition at Paris. The purchase of this exhibit was made possible through the generosity of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, to whom, indeed, we were indebted for our first gem collection, a series of stones which compared favorably with others of its kind and gave.delight and instruction to thousands of visitors. The gem collection has been installed in an attractive manner at ° the southern end of the hall west of the Mineral hall. To undertake an enumeration of the salient points of a collection like this would be quite without the scope of this report, but attention may be called to the marvelous display of cut and uncut materials in the groups of corundums (sapphires), beryls (emeralds), topazes, garnets, tourmalines, chrysoberyls (alex- andrites), opals, amethysts, diamonds, golds and pearls. The carved and engraved vases and other objects of jadeite, nephrite, rhodonite and rock crystal attract the notice of every visitor. A descriptive catalogue of this noble collection is being prepared by Mr. George F. Kunz. } DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALAON- toLocy.—The work of the Curator of the department carried the task of labeling the paleontological collection well for- ward, 2,187 exhibition labels, bearing generic, specific and authors’ names, geological formation and locality, having been prepared for individual specimens. The great amount of geological material which was received with the James Hall collection, and which has not been taken from the original boxes heretofore for lack of room in which to store the speci- 14 Report of the President. mens, has been carefully sorted and the valuable portion placed in drawers where it is accessible. The large collection of fossil remains of fish and other organisms from the Mt. Lebanon region in Syria, presented by the Protestant College at Beirfit, through Rev. D. Stuart Dodge, D.D., of this city, is the most important gift received by the department during the year. Caring for this material required considerable time and attention The publication of the Catalogue of types and figured speci- mens in the paleontological collection of the department, which has been in progress for several years, has been com- pleted. This Catalogue emphasizes in marked manner the im- portance of this portion of the Museum’s property, and the work upon it has developed the fact that above one thousand more types and figured specimens are in the collection than were originally supposed to be there. The following extract from the preface of the volume of the Aw//etin which is de- voted to the Catalogue will indicate clearly the scope and character of the work and the collection: ‘‘The chief paleontological possession of the Geological Department of the American Museum of Natural History is the great James Hall collection which was purchased in 1875 from the celebrated palaontologist, and the principal feature of that collection is the large number of type and other illus- trated specimens, especially of Palzeozoic species, which it contains. This Hall collection may well be considered the standard reference collection for all Workers in North American Paleozoic paleontology; hence the desirability of publishing a complete record of these valuable specimens. Other collections have been added to the department from time to time through exchange and other means, but with few exceptions they contain no types. Most of the ‘‘figured specimens”’ in the series are those which were identified, redescribed, illustrated and published by Professor Hall in the early volumes of the Paleeon- tology of New York, and therefore have almost the dignity and value of types. ‘Of the specimens described and illustrated in the quarto volumes of the Paleontology of New York, the Museum possesses two-thirds of those in Volume I, covering the Cambrian and Lower Silurian systems; nearly eight- tenths of those in Volume II, extending from the Medina to the Onondaga. stages, inclusive; three- fourths of those in Volume III, which treats of the Lower Helderberg and Oriskany groups; more than one-third of those in Volume IV, w hich describes the Brachiopoda of the Devonian system from the Upper Helderberg to the Chemung; about thirty per cent. of the speci- mens illustrated in Volume V, Part I, which is devoted to the Lamellibranchi- ata of the Upper Helderberg (or Corniferous), Hamilton and Chemung groups; and a nearly equal proportion of the Cephalopoda and Gastropoda illustrated in Volume V, Part II. The collection, however, contains only about 74 of the specimens of Bryozoa given in Volume VI, and about 70 of the Crustacea illustrated in Volume VII of the Paleontology of New York. Much of the Report of the President. 15 material for Volume VIII, on the Brachiopoda, was prepared for publication prior to 1876, hence a large proportion of the specimens used for illustrations are to be found in the American Museum, especially of those used for the plates bearing the name of R. P. Whitfield. ‘“Most of the species in the volumes above mentioned were first published in the Regents’ Reports on the Condition of the State Cabinet (or State Museum, as it is now called), but material from other States than New York was also used in these reports, and the American Museum has the fossils from the Wisconsin-Minnesota Cambrian beds described and figured in the sixteenth Report; the Niagara material from Waldron, Ind., published in the twenty-eighth Report; and the graptolites and the Wisconsin Niagara species given in the twentieth Report. The Trenton fossils from Wisconsin described in the Report of Progress of the Geological Survey of Wisconsin for 1861 are here, and the original descriptions have been republished with illus- trations and notes by R. P. Whitfield in the Memoirs of the American Museum of Natural History, Volume I, Part II]. The Museum has all the Warsaw fossils from Spergen Hill, Ind., originally published without figures by Hall in the Transactions of the Albany Institute, Volume IV, and republished by Whitfield with figures in Bulletin Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., Vol. I. The collec- tion also includes the type fossils from the Clinton beds at Arisaig, Nova Scotia, described by Hall in Volume V of the Canadian Naturalist and Geolo- gist; many of the Devonian and higher forms described by the same author in the Geology of Iowa and the Supplement to the lowa Report, the latter being republished with figures, by Whitfheld in Mem. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., Vol. I, Part I; several type specimens of the Dictyospongidz, some of which have been described by Whitfield in the Bulletin of the Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., Vol. I, and others by Hall and Clarke ina Memoir on the Paleozoic Reticulate Sponges; Hall and Meek’s types from the Cretaceous of the Bad Lands of Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming, described in the Memoirs of the American Academy of Science and Arts, Vol. V; the fruits and seeds from the Eocene beds at Brandon, Vt., described by Lesquereux and published in Hitchcock’s Geology of Vermont, and some of the Cephalopoda, Gastropoda and Lamelli- branchiata described by Whitfield in his U. S. Geological Survey monographs on the Cretaceous and Tertiary fossils of New Jersey. The Museum also has the Holmes collection, which includes more than two hundred of the speci- mens described and figured in Tuomey and Holmes’s Pleiocene Fossils of South Carolina and in Francis S. Holmes’s work on the Post-Pleiocene Fossils of South Carolina. The fossils described in the various bulletins and memoirs of the American Museum of Natural History are here as a matter of course. In addition to the republication of certain of Hall’s types already mentioned, there have been described and illustrated in the Bulletin a large series of fossils of Chazy and Birdseye age from Fort Cassin, Vt., Beekmantown, N. Y., and other localities on Lake Champlain, and many Cretaceous forms from Beirit, Syria, and from Jamaica, W. I. ““The term ‘type’, as employed in the Geological Department of the American Museum, embraces not only the specimens actually used by an author in the original description of a species, but also those specimens which have been used by the same author in the further elucidation of the species in subsequent publications. The types may or may not have been illustrated in connection with the first publication. ‘Figured specimen’ is the term ap- plied here to the specimens which have been identified with a species by another person than the author of the species and which have been illustrated in some publication. From the standpoint of the student and investigator, types are the most valuable portion of any collection, and should, therefore, be marked in some conspicuous manner and be preserved with the greatest 16 Report of the President. care. All the types and figured specimens in this Department are individual- ized by the use of a small rhomb of emerald green paper securely gummed to each.” As is shown in the following tabular summary, there are in this department of the Museum 8,345 type and figured speci- mens, representing 2,721 species and rgo varieties: TYPES.

O. Hovey, the Associate Curator of the department, spent about two months in the field, collecting invertebrate fossils from Jurassic and Cretaceous beds at various localities in the Black Hills region of South Dakota and Wyoming. The Jurassic fossils were especially needed, but the Cretaceous forms are likewise of great value, some of them enabling Professor Whitfield to complete im- portant investigations which he began in 1876, when at work on the fossils collected by Messrs. Newton and Jenney for the United States Geological Survey of the Black Hills. Accessions.—Next to the fossil remains from Mt. Lebanon, Syria, already mentioned, the chief donation to the depart- ment was a large and handsome slab of crinoids from the Niobrara Chalk beds of Kansas, given -by Frank Springer, Report of the President. 17 Esq., of East Las Vegas, New Mexico. There has been de- posited with the Museum by the Geological Board of Georgia a series of handsome eight-inch cubes illustrating the building stones of that State. The series, which was collected for the State of Georgia by Dr. W. S. Yeates, State Geologist, com- prises thirty-eight specimens and includes gray, homogeneous granite of several shades, porphyritic granite, gneiss, sand- stone, limestone and mottled and white marble. Mention should be made also of fossil cycad trunks from the Jurassic (?) beds of the Black Hills, obtained early in the year by purchase. These additions and some minor purchases, together with the ma- terial collected in the Black Hills, have rendered the year an unusual one in the growth of the department. It is to be hoped that the rate of increase and improvement can be maintained in the future. / DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY. — The Curator of this department reports that the growth of the collections under his charge has been unusually and satis- factorily large; 1,512 specimens having been added to the series of mammals and: 3,195 specimens to the series of birds. One hundred and sixty mammals were received in the flesh by donation from the New York Zodélogical Society and the Central Park Menagerie. Among these there are several specimens of great importance. The museum is indebted, furthermore, to the Duke of Loubat for a valuable collection numbering 120 specimens of mammals and r1o birds from the State of Jalisco, Mexico, presented by him. Seven bird groups have been placed in the exhibition halls, through the generosity of Mr. John L. Cadwalader, who provided the means for the collection and preparation of the specimens. The acquisitions through museum expeditions have been largely in excess of those obtained in this manner in previous years, and have included an immense amount of valuable material. This work for the department has been carried on by Mr. Samuel L. Klages in Venezuela, by Mr. N. G. Buxton in Siberia, under the auspices of the Jesup North Pacific ex- pedition, by Mr. J. H. Batty in Chiriqui and Panama, and by 18 Report of the President. Mr. H. H. Smith in Colombia. Furthermore, an expedition known as the A. J. Stone Expedition was organized early in the year by Madison Grant, Esq., and other friends of the Museum, the work of which is to cover a period of three years. Mr. Stone, accompanied by an assistant from the Museum, reached Alaska at the opening of the season, and collected mainly on the Kenai and Alaskan peninsulas. The results of the first season’s work are very satisfactory, includ- ing about fifty large mammals, obtained with special reference to mounting in groups, about two hundred small mammals, and several hundred birds. Since the Museum has never before received collections from this part of America, these specimens form a very important addition to our collections. The following groups representing birds and their habits have been added to the series in our halls: The Bird Rock Islands of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, a large group illustra- ting several kinds of sea birds; the Red-winged Blackbird, the Marsh Wren, the Phalarope, the Water Ousel, the Coot, the Yellow-headed Blackbird, the Passenger Pigeon. An illus- trated ‘‘ Guide Leaflet” of twenty-four pages descriptive of the Bird Rock Group was prepared by Mr. Frank M. Chap- man, the Associate Curator, and issued as a supplement to the American Museum Journal for October. This description has proved to be of great interest and value to visitors. DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.—The Curator of the Department of Anthropology reports that a large amount of work has been done by the several divisions and sections, but that much remains to be done before matters will be in readi- ness for the Thirteenth International Congress of Americanists which convenes at the American Museum in October, 1902. During the year to which this Report refers, expeditions un- der the auspices of this department were maintained in several parts of the United States, both east and west, and in Alaska, British Columbia, Mexico, Central America, Bolivia, Peru, Greenland, Siberia, Japan, Corea and China, resulting in large additions to the collections and furnishing much material for description as well as for exhibition. ‘The results which Report of the President. 19 thus far have followed from these expeditions have received favorable comment from scientific institutions and individuals both at home and abroad. With the accumulations of the past year, however, and the vast amount of material which will arrive at the Museum during the coming year, the cost. of publishing the memoirs resulting from these extensive inves- tigations naturally becomes a serious item. It does not seem proper to ask those who have generously placed parties in the field, also to provide the funds for publishing the scientific results of their investigations ; on the other hand, the general funds of the Museum are not sufficient to meet the obligation. The Jesup North Pacific Expedition.—The work of the Jesup expedition has progressed satisfactorily, and important col- lections have been received from Mr. James Teit, Mr. George Hunt, Dr. John R. Swanton and Dr. C. F. Newcombe, and from Messrs. W. Jochelson and W. Bogoras. The collections of Messrs. Jochelson and Bogoras open up an entirely new field.for the Museum, illustrating as they do the life of all the tribes of the extreme northeastern part of Siberia. The in- vestigations of these gentlemen among the Chukchee, the Koryak and Yukagheer tribes, which live on the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, have been completed and the material col- lected during their course has been forwarded to the Museum. Mr. Bogoras is on his way to New York, but Mr. Jochelson is still in Siberia. The collection of models of totem poles, with full explana- tions, made by Dr. Swanton is particularly worthy of mention, and he has succeeded by means of this collection in illustra- ting the significance of these peculiar emblems. One of the most striking objects sent in from the Queen Charlotte Islands is a large, well-preserved totem pole fully fifty feet in height. This has been erected in the open space of the stairway in the West Corridor hall. Dr. Swanton’s collections also include a series of beautifully carved spoons, with full explanations of their ornamentation. A large part of Mr. Hunt’s collections was obtained at the northern end of Vancouver Island. A 20 Report of the President. group illustrating the life of the tribes living along the Amur river has been prepared and is awaiting a suitable case. The Mrs. Morris K. Jesup Expedition.—Early in the year Dr. A. L. Kroeber finished his field work in connection with the investigation of the Arapaho Indians, and his collections at present form the main portion of our material from the Indians of the plains. The publication of the results of the important investigations which have been carried on among the Arapaho remains to be done, the completed manuscript and illustrations being already in hand. A large group containing many small figures representing the religious ceremony of the Arapaho, known as the ‘‘Sun Dance,” has been prepared. The Huntington Expedition.—TVhe field work of the Hunting- ton California expedition of 1900 came to a close early this year, and the collections received from this expedition, which was in the charge of Dr. Roland B. Dixon, areall on exhibition. Mrs. C. P. Huntington and Mr. Archer M. Huntington have provided for the continuance of this work, in which the late Mr. Collis P. Huntington was so much interested. The B. T. B. Hydeand F. E. Hyde, Jr., Expedition.—Owing to the large amount of work to be done on material collected by this expedition in former years, in order to get it catalogued and ready for exhibition, field work in the Southwest was largely suspended. Some of the material mentioned in my last report as having been obtained by this expedition has been ‘arranged in the cases in the southwestern portion of the West hall of the second floor. Especial attention may be called to the remarkable collection from the burial caves and cliff houses of the Grand Gulch region in Utah, to the collections from the Zufi and Hopi Pueblos and to the extensive display of turquoise ornaments and other objects from the ruined Pueblo Bonito in the Chaco cafion, New Mexico. All the available cases, however, have been filled, and only a very small portion of the Hyde expedition material has been actually placed on exhibition. The Messrs. Hyde have generously provided for Report of the President. 21 the publication of Dr. Washington Matthews’ important ac- count of the Navaho ceremony known as the ‘‘ Night Chant.” This is a valuable contribution to American ethnology, and is the result of more than twenty years’ work by the author. Dr. Matthews’ account will form an entire volume of our Museum Memoirs, with several plates and text illustrations, and will be issued early in 1go2. Mexican Expedition.—Mr. M. H. Saville spent the winter of Ig00-Igor in continuing his explorations of the ruins of Mitla, under the grant made for the purpose by the Duke of Loubat. The scientific results of these explorations are important, and have led to the solution of several problems connected with the architecture of the celebrated ruins in the vicinity of Mitla. The expedition also succeeded in obtaining a pre- Columbian map or ‘‘lienzo”’ on native cloth, which is a unique example of this class of American codices, and a specimen of Mexican painting on maguey paper, consisting of a map of Teotihuacan. These maps have been framed and placed on exhibition in the Mexican hall. The department furthermore has received two reproductions of pre-Columbian codices from the Duke of Loubat, the Tonalamatl Aubin and the Codex Feéjérvary-Mayer, which add greatly to our exhibit of ancient Mexican picture writings. The Duke of Loubat having providéd for another expedition to Mexico, Mr. Saville left New York about the middle of December. to complete the work at Mitla, and to carry on ex- plorations in the Oaxaca valley. Expedition to China.—Through the generosity of a friend of the Museum, who desires to have his name withheld, our institution has been enabled to enter upon ethnological inves- tigations in China. This work has been intrusted to Dr. Berthold Laufer. Two collections are the result of the first year’s work of this expedition, one of which has been received and the other is on its way to New York. The undertaking is to continue for three years, and will furnish us with abun- Report of the President. iS) Ny dant material for illustrating the essential features of the life of the Chinese people. Explorations in New Jersey.—TVhe exploration of the Dela- ware Valley, provided for by Dr. F. E. Hyde, has been continued by Mr. Ernest Volk, as in previous years, and many important facts relating to the occupation of the region about Trenton in very early times and bearing upon the evidence of pre- Glacial man in America have been obtained. On account of extensive excavations now being made by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., exceptional opportunities for the further in- vestigation of the Trenton gravel deposits are offered, and the Museum is to be congratulated upon the fact that Dr. Hyde has provided for the continuation of the research through the coming year. The vast amount of material obtained in the Delaware valley by Mr. Volk, during his long-continued ex- plorations for the Museum, has been unpacked and assorted by him and arranged in trays according to the localities and special excavations, but it has not been catalogued, on ac- count of the importance of having the explorer himself attend to the work. Local Explorations.—During the summer, the work in local archeology was continued, and rock-shelters near Westchester were explored from which much of importance relating to early Indian life was learned. Most of the season was devoted to the study of several village sites and shell heaps on Long Island, especially to some near Oyster Bay and Glen Cove. At the latter place the work was greatly facilitated by the active codperation of Mr. G. J. Price, on whose family estate many of the researches were made. The opportunities for investigations of this kind are rapidly disappearing, and every effort should be put forth to secure all available material, in order to give an accurate picture of the Indian life of the coast at the time of the arrival of our own race. Additional contributions are needed for this work. In the North hall the whole Emmons Alaskan collection was re-arranged according to tribes and the material con- Report of the President. 23 siderably condensed, changes which were made necessary by the important additions from the Jesup North Pacific expe- dition. The accumulation of additional material from the North American Indians made it necessary to remove part of the Lumholtz Mexican material to the temporary ‘‘ Missionary Hall” in the southeast corner of the second floor. The Pueblo pottery was moved to the second floor, and the cases formerly occupied by it have been devoted to southwestern basketry. All the South Sea material, furthermore, has been removed from the West hall and replaced by Eskimo material and by the rest of the Laufer material from the Amur river. The detailed re-arrangment of the North hall is still in pro- gress. The West and Southwest halls on the second floor have been opened to the public. The former contains at present a portion of the material sent from China by Dr. Laufer, the Pueblo pottery, the Briggs collection of baskets and a small portion of the extensive collections made in the Southwest by the Hyde expedition. Especially noteworthy in the last-named collec- tions, is the display of baskets and other material from the graves of the ‘‘ Basket Makers”’ of southeastern Utah. The Southwest hall contains an exhibit illustrating in part the archeology of the United States. Among its special features there is a representation of the culture of tribes once in- habiting the Saginaw Valley, Michigan. This collection was made by Mr. Harlan I. Smith, the Assistant Curator of the department, during his residence in the region previous to his connection with this institution, and it has been presented to the Museum by him. He has arranged the collection with illustrative photographs and maps, and has prepared a descrip- tive guide leaflet with numerous illustrations. All of the South American archeological collections have now been placed on exhibition, except the series from Santa Marta, Colombia, recently received from Mr. F. C. Nicholas. They occupy the West Gallery hall. The acquisition of the Gaffron collection, recently purchased by the Trustees, has greatly increased the importance of the Peruvian exhibit. The Garces collection of gold and silver objects from the Lake 24 Report of the President. Titicaca region, a gift from Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan in a former year, and a number of other similar objects, none of which have been exhibited before, have been arranged ina special case in this hall. The large additions to the South American collection during the past two years makes necessary the re-arrangement of many of the cases before their final labeling can be accomplished. In order to further the North American research work, an agreement has been made with the Bureau of Ethnology in Washington, by means of which the Bureau contributes cer- tain sums for linguistic research, while the Museum pays for ethnological field work, a plan of coéperation which is prov- ing very satisfactory. During the last year two expeditions were in the field working on this basis, Mr. H. Hi St. Clair, Jr., collecting among the Shoshone of Wyoming and Oregon, and Mr. William Jones among the Sac and Fox Indians of Nebraska. Both these gentlemen brought back valuable collections. Work among the caves and old village sites of British Columbia, begun in a modest way during the year, has yielded very interesting results and should be continued. During the summer a series of casts was made at the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., supplementing our collection illus- trating the physiology and ethnology of the North American Indians. In connection with the North American Archeological ex- hibit in the Southwest hall, there have been arranged two cases, illustrating the artifacts of the Iroquois and Algonkin Indians of New York State, and in other cases are exhibited the collections from village sites, rock shelters, shell heaps and various places in and near the city of New York, which had been explored under the direction of the department. Furthermore, a model of one of the rock-shelters explored in Westchester has been made in order to illustrate one phase in the life of the New York Indians. To make this exhibit still more instructive, there has been prepared a model show- ing the layers of accumulated material in the shelter, near Report of the President. 25 which have been placed the objects found in the upper and lower deposits. The human skulls which have been obtained in connection with the Hyde expedition in the southwest, andthe Villard and other expeditions in Peru have been arranged geograph- ically and studied by Dr. Hrdlicka, who has prepared for pub- lication an elaborate memoir on the physical characters of the peoples of the southwest. Special attention is called to the Ainu collection secured by Professor Bashford Dean of Columbia University during his recent visit to Japan. By the kindness of Arthur Curtiss James, Esq., to whom we are indebted already for much Ainu material, this collection has been added to our series illus- trating the culture of that interesting tribe. DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.—The Curator of Entomol- ogy reports that the arrangement of the exhibition collection of Beetles has progressed considerably during the year, and that it is now fairly well advanced. Enlarged drawings of some of the minute forms have been made and placed in the cases near the specimens. Such illustrations enable the vis- itor to form an idea of the nature of objects otherwise too small for exhibition. In March the Museum issued a Memoir on the Sesiidz, or Clearwinged Moths, of America north of Mexico, by the Curator. The monograph consists of one hundred thirty-eight pages of text, with twenty-four text cuts and eight plates. The Very Reverend Eugene A. Hoffman has continued his generous gifts to the department by donating more than one thousand butterflies. These are being mounted on plaster of Paris exhibition tablets, ready for display as soon as cases have been provided for their reception. This calls attention to the fact that there are already more than two thousand such specimens on hand which cannot be exhibited for lack of case room. During the autumn the Curator spent his vacation in the Black Mountains of North Carolina continuing his in- vestigations of the previous year. This expedition added to the collections of the department more than three thousand 26 Report of the President. specimens, including many new as well as many very rare species. Mr. Beutenmiiller has in preparation a monograph on *‘ The Insect Fauna of the Black Mountains, North Caro- lina.’”’ On account of certain peculiarities, the study of the insect fauna of this restricted region is of high importance to science, and it is to be hoped that some friend of the Museum will enable him to carry his investigations in the region to satisfactory completion. Field work in the vicinity of New York City has been done by the Curator and his assistant, Mr. C. Scheffer, and has added many specimens of several species to the local collection. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALZONTOLOGY.—The chief event of the year was the establishment of a fund by one of our Trustees, Mr. William C. Whitney, for obtaining material to illustrate the evolution ‘of the Horse. This enabled the Curator to send two expeditions into the field—one to eastern Colorado and one to Texas, both of which were highly suc- cessful. The Colorado party found a superb skeleton of the three-toed marsh-living Horse, Anchitherium, besides portions of several skeletons of the plains-living Horses and Asses, The Texas party discovered a rich quarry of Horse remains of more modern type, including the ancestor of. the South American A/zppidium. The Curator hopes to secure every step in the wonderful evolution of the Horse from the small ancestor, less than four hands high, from the lower Eocene, to the larger Horses of the lower Pleistocene, which were finally destroyed during the Ice Age. A skilled osteological pre- parator also has been engaged upon an exhibit of the varieties of the modern Horse produced through the agency of human selection; such as the Shetland, the Percheron and the various race horses. Together with this series are prepara- tions of the skull illustrating the growth of the teeth and of the limbs and other parts illustrating the entire mechanics of the skeleton. Mr. Charles R. Knight has painted a set of water colors of the living types of Asiatic and African horses. Altogether this exhibit promises to be one of the most popular and instructive in the Museum. Report of the President. | Although the expeditions were planned to secure fossil horses, incidentally several splendid specimens of other animals were discovered. Among them was the shell of a great Glyptodont, or armored Edentate, the first discovered in North America. Numerous remains of Camels, Rhin- oceroses and the skull and skeleton of the great fossil Dog, Dinocyon, were also found. The exploration for Dinosaurs, begun by the Museum in 1897, was continued in western Colorado, in the Black Hills region of South Dakota and in the Laramie Plains of central Wyoming. At the last point, the Bone Cabin Quarry, famous for the great discoveries that have been made there, was worked for a fourth season, yielding a number of very rare Dinosaur skulls more or less complete. Inthis same region another quarry, together with a quantity of very large Dinosaur bones, was purchased. The car-load of material thus obtained was loaded and transported directly to the East through the courtesy of Messrs. E. H. Harriman and J. P. Morgan. The department has been enriched not only by the expedi- tions, but also by exchanges with foreign museums. Chief among these is the superb specimen of an Ichthyosaur, or Fish-lizard, presented by the Royal Museum of Stuttgart through Prof. Eberhard Fraas. It is remarkable as contain- ing seven young Ichthyosaurs. Two noteworthy purchases have been made: The first, a magnificent Cretaceous fish ‘belonging to the genus Portheus, allied to Chirocentrus, now found only in the Indian Ocean; and the second, a skull of a southern variety of the mammoth, L/ephas imperator, with a pair of large tusks more than thirteen feet in length. Reproductions of restorations made in the department have been sent to museums in various parts of the world, and new series of casts have been prepared. Among these the casts illustrating the evolution of the feet of the Horse and the Camel are of special note. The scientific work of the Department has continued, sev- eral bulletins by the Curator and his associates and a valuable memoir on the fossil mammals of eastern Colorado having been published. 28 Report of the President. Professor Osborn not only contributed largely to the maintenance of field expeditions, as shown in the Treasurer’s Report, but also spent his entire salary in promoting the work of his department. ; DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—This depart- ment * was established in January, rgo1, with Professor Her- mon C. Bumpus, as Curator. George H. Sherwood, A. M., assumed the duties of Assistant Curator in the following No- vember. The material which has come into its care was pre- viously under the charge of Professor R. P. Whitfield, Curator of Geology and Invertebrate Paleontology, whose energy and skill have been largely instrumental in assembling a collection in this branch of natural science which is of acknowledged credit to our institution. The series of corals is particularly fine, ranking with the best in the world. The West Indian forms were almost all obtained by Professor Whitfield during his vacations. ‘The most important accession to the depart- ment during the past year was a remarkable series of siliceous sponges which was purchased for the Museum by Professor Bashford Dean of Columbia University, during his recent visit to the Orient. The collection comprises thirty-seven speci- mens, representing twenty-six species distributed among six- teen genera. Among the specimens are several fine examples of the beautiful ‘‘ Venus’ Flower Basket” and related forms. This Department has been given the charge of reptiles, batrachians and fishes, in addition to the invertebrate animals, and the Curator reports that much work has been done in the line of overhauling the large amount of material which had accumulated in the preceding thirty years. For lack of available exhibition space, almost all the specimens in these three great branches of Natural History have been relegated to storage, until the hall in the southeast corner of the ground floor can be fitted up with suitable cases for their reception and exhibition. ‘The principal additions to the collection of * Insects are under the care of Wm. Beutenmiiller, Curator of Entomology, and molluscs are retained by L. P. Gratacap, Curator of Mineralogy. Report of the President. 29 reptiles and batrachians have come from the New York ZodGlog- ical Society, the Central Park Managerie and the New York Aquarium. The collection of fishes on exhibition in the Museum is very small, and consists mainly of painted wax and plaster models, resembling but slightly the fish in nature. All known methods of preserving and exhibiting fishes are unsatisfactory, but experiments for the purpose of devising some suitable means of presenting them in their natural environment and natural colors are under way, and we are warranted in saying that progress toward this desirable end has been made. Popular interest in the fishes is great, and a large exhibit of them is needed. The acquisitions to this section of the Department have been considerable during the year. Through the courtesy of the Honorable George M. Bowers, the United States Commis- sioner of Fish and Fisheries, we have received a fine collection of Puerto Rican fishes, collected by the United States Fish Commission Steamer ‘‘ Fish Hawk” during the investigation of the fisheries of Puerto Rico by the Government, in 1899. There are nearly two hundred specimens in the collection, representing eighty-four species, and all are in a good state of preservation. From the Jesup North Pacific expedition there have been received one hundred forty-three fishes and several reptiles and invertebrates, which were collected by Mr. N. G. Buxton in Vladivostok Harbor and Lake Khanka, in eastern Siberia. Since the fauna of that region is little known, doubtless several new species will be found in the col- lection. One of the most striking needs of the various sec- tions of this department is a series of local collections of familiar forms, arranged in groups to correspond with those which are used to such good effect in several other parts of the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF CoNCHOLOGY.—At the beginning of the year, when the departments, which, for many years, had been under the care of the Curator of Geology, were subdivided, the collection of shells was removed to the charge of Mr. 30 Report of the President. Gratacap, the Curator of Mineralogy. He reports that, on account of the devotion of the central hall on the fourth floor of the Museum to the Bement collection of minerals, the shells formerly exhibited there were removed to the fifth floor, and most of them were placed in drawers for storage. The present condition of the conchological collection empha- sizes in very marked manner the need of a much larger hall for its appropriate exhibition. The famous Binney and Bland collection of American land shells, for instance, which con- tains many type specimens, is necessarily kept in storage drawers from lack of space for displaying it. The work done on the shell collection has included the preparation and placing of more than 2,000 individual labels in addition to maps, photographs and diagrams. ‘The experi- ment is being tried of placing on exhibition aquaria showing some of the more familiar molluscs in their natural surround- ings. The popularity of this feature of the Hall of Conchology is marked, and indicates the desirability of increasing the number of such exhibits. On account of the number of type specimens which it contains, the Binney and Bland collection of land shells was made the subject of an extended article by the Curator, which was published in the Museum 4vdletin, with five maps showing distribution. The department is indebted to Mr. Frederick A. Constable for a valuable accession to its collections, consisting of about 18,000 specimens, representing about 4,000 species. The same gentleman has given to the Library a large number of much- needed works on conchology. NortH AMERICAN Forestry.—The chief event in the his- tory of the Jesup collection of North American Forestry was the addition of twenty-one water-color paintings by Mrs. C. S. Sargent to the series illustrative of leaves, flowers and fruits, which has been prepared at the expense of your President. PuBLicaTions.—In the line of publications the scientific staff of the Museum has been very active during the past year Report of the President. 31 and the amount of matter issued was greater than during any other like period in our history. Of the octavo Aulletin there were published Part IV of Vol. XI, with 160 pages of text, comprising the catalogue of type and figured fossils noticed at greater length in another part of this Report; Vol. XIV, consisting of 422 pages, with 63 text figures and 46 plates, and Part I of Vol. XV, consisting of 370 pages, with 172 text figures and 4 plates, descriptive of the Eskimo of Baffin Land and Hudson Bay. Six parts of the quarto AZemoirs, belong- ing to different volumes, were put through the press, though three of them were not actually issued until a few days after the end of the year, and therefore bear date of January, 1902. These parts contain in all 766 pages of text, and are illustrated with 82 text figures and 49 plates. The publication of Zhe American Museum Journal, which was begun in April, 1900, has been continued, and may now be considered to have passed the experimental stage. Mr. W. K. Gregory, who served the periodical as manag- ing editor during the early and trying portion of its career, desiring to take up work exclusively in the line of verte- brate paleontology, Dr. E. O. Hovey was asked to assume the editorship of the /owrna/ in September, with Messrs. Chapman, Gratacap and Gregory as an advisory board. Certain changes were instituted in the publication, the principal of which was the addition of an illustrated supplement to each number in the shape of a popular guide leaflet to some exhibit or group of exhibits in the Museum. Before the end of the year two numbers were issued, one with a guide leaflet on the Bird Rock Group, by Frank M. Chapman, and one with a similar description of the Saginaw Valley collection in the Anthropological Department, by Harlan I. Smith. These brochures evidently meet a popular want, for there is constant demand for them on the part of visitors. The distribution of the articles in the Aw//etin and the Memoirs, according to the departments from which they. have emanated, is as follows: 22 Report of the President.

Liprary.—The history of the library for the past year has been one of constant growth. The number of individual donors has increased, and there have been more accessions from the individuals and institutions on our exchange list than during the preceding year. The principal accessions have come from General Egbert L. Viele and Mr. Frederick A. Constable, the volumes from the latter pertaining specially to conchology. The total number of volumes, parts and pamph- lets received is equivalent to 2,619 bound volumes, making the total number of volumes or their equivalent in the library at the present time 55,308. The books have been very ex- tensively used by members and visitors, as well as by our scientific staff, but there have been calls for hundreds of books not on our shelves, which, however, should be in our possession. The branches of natural science which need especial development in the line of books and periodicals are: Forestry, Herpetology, Anthropology, Invertebrate Zodlogy, Mineralogy and Mining. A considerable sum, furthermore, could be used to advantage in the purchase of missing num- bers and parts of scientific periodicals. Report of the President. 35 Following is a list of the most important individual acces- sions during the history of the library: The John C. Jay Conchological Library. Donated in 1874 by Miss Catharine L. Wolfe, and greatly increased in later years by the donor. The Carson Brevoort Library on Fishes and General Zoéblogy. Deposited in 1879 and donated in 1881 by Robert L. Stuart. The Jewett Library on Voyages and Travels. Donated in 1886 by Hugh J. Jewett. The R. P. Whitfield Library on Geology and Paleontology. Purchased in 1886 by the Trustees. The D. G. Elhot Ornithological Library. Donated in 1887 by Cornelius Vanderbilt and Percy R. Pyne. The S. Lowell Elliot Library on Entomology, History, etc. Donated in 1891 by Mrs. M. Schuyler Elliot. The Cotheal Library. Donated in 1892 by Alexander I. Cotheal. The Harry Edwards Library on Entomology. Purchased in 1892 by the Trustees. The Robert Halsted Library. Donated in 1897 by Miss Laura P. Halsted. The Jules Marcou Library on Geology and related subjects. Donated in 1898 by Philippe and John B. Marcou. The Viele Library. Donated in 1goo and increased in 1go01 by Gen. Egbert L. Viele, U. S. A. The Constable Library. Donated in 1go1 by Frederick A, Constable. S. P. Avery, Esq., furthermore, has been a most liberal benefactor to the Library during the past ten years. — 36 Report of the President. LECTURES AND CONVENTIONS. DEPARTMENT OF PuBLIC INSTRUCTION.—The regular courses of Lectures to Teachers, which are given by Professor Albert S. Bickmore under the terms of a contract with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, have been continued during the year, with a marked increase of attendance, made possible by the opening of the new lecture hall. By request of the Trustees, Professor Bickmore has given two courses of four lectures each to the members of the Museum and their friends, and four lectures on legal holidays. City Board of Education.—Even the greater accommodations afforded by the new auditorium, however, have not been suf- ficient to seat all the persons desiring to attend the free lectures given under the auspices of the Board of Education. © In the fall, therefore, the Board decided to give, in codpera- tion with the Museum, a course of lectures on Saturday even- ’ ings, in addition to the reguiar Tuesday evening course. The Saturday evening lectures have been of a more scientific character than those given on Tuesday evenings. The total number of lectures in the Museum provided by the city was thirty-seven. Other lectures have been given in the Museum by arrange- ment with Columbia University and the Linnean Society of New York. The annual convention of the American Ornithologists’ Union was held in the halls of the Museum from the r2th to the 14th of November. The national conference of the Audubon Societies of America was held here on November 14, and many regular meetings of the Linnean Society of New York, the New York Entomological Society and the New York Mineralogical Club have been held in the Reading Room of the Library and elsewhere in the Museum building. Ar- rangements have now been perfected for fitting up a small meeting room capable of seating about one hundred and fifty persons and adapted to the needs of such conventions. Report of the President. ey) In October, 1902, the International Congress of American ists will hold its thirteenth session at the Museum as our guest. LECTURES TO THE TEACHERS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

On examining the Treasurer’s report, to be found on pages 41 to 47, inclusive, you will not fail to note the very large and gratifying increase in the subscriptions for special ex- peditions and for the increase of the collections in other ways. 40 Report of the President. The increase, too, in the list of annual and life members is very encouraging to those who have the interests of the Museum at heart. We, nevertheless, need increased funds. Our Museum, in codperation with the public schools, has be- come an important educational factor in the community. It is a place of recreation for thousands, who find an instructive value in the exhibition and lecture halls. The work of its scientific staff, both at home and in the field, is a credit to the city and a satisfaction to those who have felt the pleasure of personally assisting in the furtherance of a great enterprise. In closing this, my twenty-first annual report, I desire to record my appreciation of the continuation of the cordial and substantial support given me by my colleagues on the Board of Trustees; of the codperation of the city officials at the points where the Museum has come in contact with the gov- ernment of the Borough of Manhattan, and of the efficient service rendered by the scientific and administrative staff of the Museum. .

LT do hereby give and bequeath to ‘‘' THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HistoRy,”’-0f the City of New York, - 2S THIRTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT. To the Trustees and Members of the American Museum of Natural Flistory : I take pleasure in submitting herewith a statement of the affairs of the Museum for the year r1go2. Finances.—The Treasurer’s Report, given on pages 32 to 39 inclusive, presents in detail the receipts and disbursements as they appear in the several accounts. MAINTENANCE.—By the timely increase on the part of the City of its annual appropriation for maintenance (from $135,000 to $160,000), the Museum has completed its year’s work without calling upon the Trustees foradditional funds. More- over, the City has authorized the construction of a new power and heating station and appropriated $200,000 therefor, and our relations with the various municipal authorities have been most satisfactory. Heretofore it has been necessary to borrow money at the beginning of each year to pay the current expenses for maintenance, pending the refunding of such sums by the City, a condition which has involved a charge for interest on loans and occasional overdrafts. At the last annual meeting of the Board, one of its members very generously gave $15,000 to be used as capital to meet the current bills, pending their repayment by the City, the only condition of the gift being that the Treasurer’s report should show a credit balance of $15,000 at the close of each year. The terms of this gift have been fully complied with. IO Report of the President. ENDOWMENYT.—At the annual meeting of the Board of Trus- tees held in January, 1902, expenditures from the General and Maintenance funds were authorized, to the aggregate amount of $210,260, involving a deficit of $19,560. The report of the Treasurer shows ‘that the Museum has not drawn upon this deficit, and this is the second year that the limit of the author- ization of the Trustees has not been reached. Our invested funds, however, have not been materially increased, and in the absence of any large income, we have been obliged to depend upon the liberality of friends for the development of our collections; and this will of necessity continue until our en- dowment is largely increased. In conformity with the recommendation of the Finance Committee, the financial transactions of the Museum are now divided into three separate accounts. First.—City Maintenance Account, covering the receipts and disbursements of the moneys received from the City. Second.—General Account, including the receipts and dis- bursements of the income from invested funds, membership and admission fees, State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion and contributions (not for specific purposes) received from the Trustees and others. Third.—Endowment and Investment Account, including the receipts, investments and disbursements of moneys received from bequests, and contributions for specific purposes, such as the support of expeditions, the preparation and _ publica- tion of scientific papers, the purchase of specific collections, etc. The funds received from bequests and the interest thereon are invested in securities for the Permanent Endow- ment. SPECIAL Funps.—Special funds, such as those for the sup- port of Eastern Asiatic Research and for the Andrew J. Stone Expedition, are kept apart, the Assistant Treasurer acting as Treasurer of the same by request of the Trustees. Separate Report of the President. Il reports of such funds are rendered to the Trustees, and the accounts are examined by the Auditor. Bequests.—The moneys received from the bequests of Mr. Oswald Ottendorfer, Mr. Henry Villard and Mr. Joel Golden- berg, deceased, were transferred to the Endowment and In- vestment Account, and used for the purchase of bonds for the Permanent Endowment. By the will of the late Samuel D. Babcock, a former mem- ber of the Museum, the Trustees will receive $5,000. MeEMBERSHIP.—The names of 123 new annual members have been enrolled; the loss by death or resignation was 58, leav- ing a gain of 65. Mr. Edward M. Shepard and the Very Rev. Eugene A. Hoffman, D.D., LL.D., were elected Patrons, and the follow- ing named persons were elected Life Members: Miss Annie Stone, Miss Catherine A. Bliss, Miss Fannie Ellen Wright, Dr. Fred. Lange. and Messrs. Fordham Morris, John I. Water- bury, James F. O’Shaughnessy, E. J. de Coppet, Zenas Crane, samuel P, Avery, Jr, Charles: W. McAlpin, Alan. C. Harris, William L. Conyngham, James J. Higginson, Milton Robbins, Jacob Mahler, William Demuth and C. Lincoln Free. I wish to report officially the loss by resignation of Messrs. Elbridge T. Gerry and D. Willis James, long associated with the Museum as members of the Board of Trustees. It is with regret that I mention the decease of the follow- ing: Heber R. Bishop, a Patron and formerly a Trustee; Mrs. William H. Osborn, a Patron; the Very Rev. Eugene A. hotman:- 1).D:; LL-D., a. senerous, giver; Gen. Egbert L: Miele U.S. A., and Henry. G:. Marquand, Fellows; ‘C. M. Bell, M. D., Thomas C. Bushnell, William L. Flanagan, John T. Metcalfe, M. D., and Hugh O’Neil, Life Members. TRANSPORTATION.—The territory covered by our field workers has broadened with each successive year, and the cost of transportation of the men and of the material collected would bea serious item of the expense of these expeditions were it not for the cordial and generous assistance accorded 1) Report of the President. by the various railroad companies. In this relation, I desire to acknowledge our indebtedness to the following corporations: The Southern Pacific Co. Union Pacific Railroad. Oregon Short Line. Mexican International. Mexican National and Mexican Central Railroads. Pennsylvania Railroad System. Erie Railroad. Wabash Railroad. Missouri Pacific Railway. Denver & Rio Grande Railway. Northern Pacific Railway. Great Northern Railway. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. Chicago & Northwestern Railway. Burlington & Missouri River Railroad. Southern Railway. Fort Worth & Denver City Railway. Colorado Southern Railway. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Railway System. Canadian Pacific Railway. ATTENDANCE.—The use of the coilections by pupils and teachers has increased. We find that 5,o00 pupils and 317 teachers (a greater number than ever before) visited the Museum for the purpose of studying the collections. The total number of visitors for the year was approximately 460,000. The attendance on lectures to the public on holidays was 3,290; Lectures to, Teachers, Spring Course, 7,232, Autumm Course, 7,420; Lectures to Members, Spring Course, 4,804, Autumn Course, 3,997. The following scientific societies have held meetings at the Museum: The New York Academy of Sciences. (Astronomy, Physics and Chemistry; Biology; Geology and Mineralogy; Anthropology and Psychology.) The Linnzean Society of New York. The New York Entomological Society. The New York Mineralogical Club. Audubon Society. Report of the President. 13 In October, 1902, the International Congress of American- ists held its thirteenth annual session at the Museum. This is the first time that the Congress has met in this country. The subjects discussed at the meetings of the International Congress of Americanists related to: I. The Native Races of America: their Origin, Distribution, History, Physical Characteristics, Languages, Inventions, Customs and Re- ligions; II. The History of the Early Contact between America and the Old World. To make the preliminary arrangements for the Congress and the discussions pertaining to the foregoing topics, a special committee was appointed, consisting of the heads of the departments of Anthropology, and your President invited the American Association for the Advancement of Science through its section of Anthropology to advise and coéperate with that committee in selecting a general commis- sion of organization, representative of the leading institutions in the United States at which work in Anthropology is being done. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALAON- ToLocy. —The Curator’s time has been spent in the regular routine work of the Department; indeed, we feel more and more the responsibility connected with the general supervision of the large collections intrusted to our care. The work of revising the classification strips has been com- pleted, and the labeling and identification of the Tertiary and later collections undertaken. Certain other, unlabeled, col- lections and a collection of casts of important fossils, donated by the Curator, have been installed. Among the Tertiary collections, those of Miocene fossils from Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, and vicinity, are the most important. During the summer, these collections were all worked over, put in order and prepared for exhibition. The collections are extremely interesting and valuable, quite as much because of their peculiar faunal properties as for their geographical location. The total number of labels added to the collection during the year was 1,969. 14 Report of the President. Dr. Hay, of the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology, has worked over all the fossils, fishes and fish remains of the chronological collection. These will be included in a catalogue of fossil fish which he is compiling for publication. He has found many new and unidentified forms among the Syrian fish, upon which he is preparing an article. The paleontological department has received many valuable accessions by purchase, and one donation is worthy of special note, that is, eight speci- mens of Cambrian Trilobite from Professor George H. Perking of the University of Vermont. The Department is also under obligations to Dr. Bashford Dean for his supervision of work on the restoration of Dinichthys. Two articles were published by the Curator, one on a new form of marine Algz, fossil in the Niagara shale, and one on a new Trilobite from the Marcellus shale, the latter credited to Professor C. H. Hitchcock, who subsequently presented the specimen to the Museum. At the arrival of the news of the disaster in Martinique, Dr. Hovey, the Associate Curator of the Department, was imme- diately detailed by the President to investigate the causes of the eruptions, and in May, 1902, he sailed from New York on his first expedition to Martinique and St. Vincent. His efficient field work, quick inductions and prompt publication have not only placed the name of the Museum among the leading contributors to seismology, but his rational treatment of volcanic phenomena in general, and the eruptions of Mt. Pelé in particular, have received most favorable notice throughout the scientific press. The results of his investiga- tions have been set forth in his paper, which has already appeared in the Bulletin. DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY.—The Curator reports that the additions to the collections of mammals have exceeded in number and importance those of any previous year; 2,121 specimens have been added to the series of mammals. The specimens purchased consist mainly of a collection, made for the Museum by Mr. J. H. Report of the President. 15 Batty in the state of Chiriqui, Colombia, numbering 254 speci- mens; a collection of 78 small mammals from Costa Rica, made for the Museum by Mr. J. H. Carriker, Jr. ; a collection of bats numbering 95 specimens, coliected in the Bahamas and Cuba by Mr. S. H. Hamilton, and an important collection of arctic mammals made for the Museum by Capt. George Comer, in the region about Repulse Bay, Hudson Bay, in- cluding skeletons and skulls of musk-oxen, a large series of barren ground ‘caribou, skins and skeletons of the bearded seal, etc. The specimens obtained by the Andrew J. Stone Expedi- tion form a most important addition to the North American collection of mammals. It comprises some fifty large, and about one thousand small mammals, among which are many species new to the Museum. The gift from the Peary Arctic Club of about one hundred mammals collected by Commander Peary on his last arctic expedition, is especially noteworthy. It includes skins of caribou, musk-oxen, walrus, seals and polar bears, and many skulls of walrus and seals. The Museum is now doubtless by far the richest in the world in mammals from arctic America. Donations of specimens in the flesh have been received from the New York ZoGdlogical Society and the Central Park Menagerie, including many important types. Special men- tion should be made of the gift from Messrs. Charles D. Cleveland and Marshall Maclean, of New York, of a fine series of Newfoundland caribou. Mrs. Hannah H. Corbin has presented two mounted speci- mens of wild boar, and Mr. L. S. Thompson has given a re- markably large mounted head of the Alaska moose, and two mounted Rocky Mountain sheep. We are indebted to Mr. William F. Whitehouse, Jr., for a mounted specimen of the rare Abyssinian duyker antelope, a gift, and mounted heads of the African elephant and two-horned rhinoceros, placed in the Museum on loan. The recent accessions of mammals and birds have been cata- logued to date, and labeled with field data, but not all have been identified. 16 Report of the President. During the year 1902, 14 papers on mammals and birds have been published in the Museum Bulletin, and a guide leaflet on North American Ruminants has been issued. Besides the scientific use of the material of this depart- ment by the Curator and by naturalists visiting the Museum, much material has been loaned to specialists and _ institu- tions in other cities, for which due credit is given in their publications, and similar courtesies are received from them in return for our loans. Specimens are made use of by artists at the Museum, to whom facilities are offered. The Museum has had collectors in the West Indies, Costa Rica, northern Colombia, and in the Repulse Bay region of northeastern arctic America. Mr. Klages has continued his work in Venezuela. Mr. Chapman, the Associate Curator, has made trips, in the interest of the Museum, to the coast of Virginia and to the Bahamas, which were highly successful in securing material for special bird groups, etc. The only expedition sent out exclusively for work in this department is the Andrew J. Stone Expedition, of which men- tion has been made in earlier reports. In 1902, Mr. Stone made a trip to the western end of the Alaska Peninsula to obtain accessories for the Grant Caribou group, specimens for which were collected in rgot. New groups of birds have been given to the Museum by Mr. Cadwalader, as follows: ‘‘The Fish Hawk,” ‘‘ The Ptar- migan,” ‘‘ The Black Rail.” Dr. Bashford Dean, of Columbia University, has made it pos- sible for the Department to come into possession of several long-tailed fowl from Japan. These will make valuable addi- tions to our collections illustrating the results of artificial selection. VERTEBRATE PALZONTOLOGY.—Progress has been made in rearranging the collections so as to make them more intelligible to the public. Newspecimens of interest have been placed in the centre of the hall, and attention is called to them by explanatory labels, diagrams and models. Report of the President. 17 Valuable exchange collections have been received from the British Museum, and the Museums of Moscow, Bucharest, Tiibingen and Buenos Aires. The mounting of new material has continued under Mr. Hermann. Five expeditions have been maintained in the field: in Mon- tana, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota. The most notable additions to the collections by these expeditions are a complete skeleton of an Upper Miocene Three-toed Horse, a fine skull and jaws of the horned Dinosaur Triceratops (skull between seven and eight feet long) and three complete skeletons of a rare Cretaceous Reptile, Champsosaurus. The establishment of a fund by a member of the Board of Trustees, Mr. William C. Whitney, for providing material to illustrate the origin and development of the horse, has produced immediate results of the highest importance, and stimulated the work in many cognate lines. The purchase of the Cope Collections has been effected, and all this material is now the property of the Museum. The collections include fossil reptiles, amphibians and fishes, pre- sented by your President, and the Pampean Collection of fossil mammals of South America, presented by a number of the Trustees of the Museum. The great value of these collections has been noted in former reports. They contain a large number of complete or nearly complete skeletons of rare fossil species, among which the Sabre-Tooth Tiger, the Carnivorous Dinosaur, Duck-billed Dinosaur, and Amphibious Dinosaur, are now being prepared for exhibition. DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.—In order to have the halls in readiness for the meeting of the International Congress of Americanists, every effort was made by the officers and assistants of this department to arrange and label the collec- tions. The collections were studied with interest by the members of the Congress during the week of the meetings, and many remarks were made upon their scientific importance and value. 18 Report of the President. During the year a number of collections not before exhibited have been installed, notably the Hyde collections from the ancient cliff-houses, burial-caves andruined pueblos of Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. - Only a portion of the interesting and important material obtained from this expedition as the gift of Messrs. B. T. B. Hyde and F. E. Hyde, Jr., is on exhibition. It is to the Messrs: Hyde that we are also indebted for the publication of the volume of the Memoirs containing the Navajo ceremony of the Night Chant, written by Dr. Washington Matthews, a work of exceeding importance: Mr. B. ¥. B. Hyde has purchase the important library of the late Mr. Andrew E. Douglass, and it is now arranged in the office room of the expedition. Among the new exhibits installed during the year is the special exhibit of a portion of the material obtained by Mr. Volk during the researches in the Delaware Valley which have been carried on under the direction of Professor Putnam for over twenty years. The expenses of the research for the past five years have been met by Dr. F. E. Hyde of the Board of Trustees. The exhibit is in a case in the west corner hall of the second floor. It seems to show conclusively that man was in the valley of the Delaware at the time that certain of the glacial deposits, and those immediately following, were made. The discoveries of human remains and implements are illus- trated by photographs and diagrams. The general North American archeological collection, which was in storage for several years, has been arranged by Mr. Smith, who has supplemented the exhibits by descriptive labels, maps and drawings. He has also placed considerable printed and typewritten information with a number of the collections, and in various ways has made them especially instructive. Some of the archeological collections from New York, ob- tained largely through Mr. Harrington’s explorations, have been arranged. The Bandelier, Garces, Gaffron and Squier collections have been re-arranged. A large and important collection from Brazil, received in November from the Duke of Loubat, will soon be installed. Report of the President. 19 In the ethnological section the re-arrangement and installa- tion of collections has gone on as rapidly as possible, and an exceptionally large amount of installation has been com- pleted. The arrangement of the north hall was completed in its main features. Early in the year the north side of the west hall, second floor, was cased, and the Chinese collections made by Dr. Laufer under a grant given by Mr. Jacob H. Schiff were exhibited temporarily. In the spring, work was begun on the installation of the Siberian collections of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition. The whole west corner hall was set aside for the collections from Siberia. The arrange- ment of the Chukchee collections and of the Koryak collec- tions made by Mr. Bogoras has been completed. The Jesup North Pacific Expedition.—The work of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition has progressed satisfactorily. Dur- ing the past year, collections have been received from Mr. George Hunt, Mr. Waldemar Bogoras and Mr. Waldemar Jochelson. With the return of Messrs. Bogoras and Jochel- son, the Siberian part of the expedition has been closed. The results are most gratifying. The aim of the expedition to collect very full information on all the tribes of the North Pacific coast has in the main been accomplished, and it now remains to study the relation- ship of these tribes by a detailed comparison of the material collected. The whole district from Columbia River in America, westward to the Lena in Siberia, has been covered fairly ex- haustively; and it is already evident that the relationship be- tween Asia and America is much closer than had hitherto been supposed. In fact, a comparison of the customs and tradi- tions of certain of the peoples of northeastern Asia and northwestern America indicates that in culture at least they must be regarded as one group,—a conclusion of great sig- nificance for the wider problem of the origin and development of the civilizations of the two continents... A number of special questions have resulted from these studies, to which it is desirable to give further attention. They are particularly an investigation of the Salish tribes of Puget Sound, of the 20 Report of the President. Nootka of the west coast of Vancouver Island, and of the Eskimo of Kotzebue Sound. The Huntington California Expedition was continued by Mr. Dixon, and, with the co-operation of the University of Cali- fornia, by Mr. Kroeber. We have received additional ma- terial from the Maidu and Shasta and a collection from the Yurok on the Lower Klamath River. North American Research.—Professor Livingston Farrand continued the researches among the Sahaptin which were com- menced two years ago. We have obtained from him a collec- tion illustrating the life of the Nez Perces. Dr. Clark Wissler commenced investigations on the decora- tive art of the Sioux, which have given very gratifying results in the way of information and collections. The agreement with the Bureau of American Ethnology entered into in rg0r was continued during the present year. In pursuance of this agreement, Mr. William Jones continued his work among the Sauk and Fox, whose language and eth- nology he studied, making at the same time collections for the Museum. Mr. H. H. St. Clair, 2d, continued his work among the Shoshone tribes. His linguistic work was also provided for by the Bureau of Ethnology, while the ethnological work was provided for by the Museum. He sent an interesting collec- tion of Comanche material. Mr. John W. Chapman, who lives as a missionary among the Athapascan Indians of the Yukon region, has undertaken to study this tribe, and to make a collection illustrating their mode of life. Two years ago Captain George Comer and Captain James S. Mutch, who command whaling-stations in Hudson Bay and Cumberland Gulf respectively, were authorized by the Museum to make ethnological collections in the districts visited by them. The results of their work have been very gratifying, and have added materially to the value of the Eskimo collec- tions of the Museum. Report of the President. 21 Expedition to China.—TVhe East Asiatic work provided for by Mr. Jacob H. Schiff, and carried on by Dr. Berthold Laufer, has been continued during the past year. Early in the year, Dr. Laufer moved to Peking, where he collected much material relating to the daily life of the people, and at the Same time made ethnological and historical studies which promise important scientific results. Hyde Expedition.—Dr. HUrdlicka made two expeditions to the region of the Southwest and to northern Mexico during the year, both under the patronage of the Messrs. Hyde, and the material obtained is their gift to the Museum. During these expeditions Dr. Hrdli¢ka obtained anthropometric data and many photographs relating to twenty-one tribes in the Southwestern Territories and in northern Mexico. He also secured a large number of skulls and several skeletons from the same region, including the first Yaqui skulls known; also numerous ethnological and archeological specimens, many of special importance in filling gaps in our collections. Mexican Expedition.—Mr. Saville was absent in the field from December, rgo1, until May, 1902, working in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, with funds given by the Duke of Loubat, and completed the work that he had planned for that part of Mexico. Theresults throw much light on the burial customs of the ancient Zapotecans, and the collections obtained from the excavation add materially to the importance of our collection in the Museum. A visit was made to Mitla and to ruins in the southern part of the Oaxaca Valley, and also to the Mixteca mountains at Nochistlan. Rare specimens of gold, copper and jadeite secured by the expedition, added to what we al- ready have in the Museum, make this part of our Mexican collections the best in any museum. From the Duke of Loubat, besides the material obtained from this expedition, we have received a gem collection of great importance from the state of Oaxaca. From Mr. Maler we have received several pieces of Maya pottery from Yucatan and Tabasco; and from Mr. Chavero, a post-Columbian codex of considerable interest. 22 Report of the President. Local Explorations —Mr. Harrington visited the Shinne- cock and Poosepatuck Reservations on Long Island and Staten Island, during June and July, and at Shinnecock Hills he explored: an ancient village site,—a series of shell heaps. Trenches were dug, and ‘‘ash pits” opened. Although the number of publications issued during the past year is not large, much progress has been made in the prep- aration of material. DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY AND CoNCHOLOGY.—The headquarters of this department have been removed to the fourth floor, and a room for laboratory work and storage has been provided in the basement. The labeling of the collection of minerals on exhibition, a thorough arrangement of overflow material, now in drawers under the cases, a selection of a second, very small, group of duplicates, the completion of the explanatory rubrics through- out the cases, and a beginning upon the exhaustive card cata- logue, marks the labor of the department. ; The gem collection continues to be most popular. One record is given of 1,000 visitors in a day. During the past year five magnificent crusts of amethyst have been added, from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and also a large yellow sap- phire, two parti-colored sapphires, an immense star sapphire, and a curious archaic axe of agate, gifts of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan. Besides these a collection of very attractive series of polished agates has been received. A card catalogue of the gems has been completed, comprising almost 2,000 cards. A splendid collection of gold and silver coins from the Philadelphia mint, given by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, has been placed in the Gem Room. DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—We regret that the capacity of the building and the limitation of our funds prevent the symmetrical development of all that goes to make up a Museum of Natural History. We not only have large collections that await adequate exhibition space, but there are departments of natural history that thus far have received but little attention. They have not been Report of the President. ae forgotten, however, and it is our purpose to so plan our work that all will finally receive proper treatment. The Department of Invertebrate Zodlogy was established two years ago, and since that time the invertebrate collections of the Museum have been gotten together; new material has been added, and the exhibit in the south-east hall of the ground floor will soon be open to the public. Professor William Morton Wheeler, at one time Director of the Public Museum at Milwaukee, and a scientist of high standing, will soon take charge of this department. For a long time we have felt the need of providing exhibits to illustrate in a comparative way the structure of the human body, z. e., collections that will illustrate the resemblances and differences between man and the lower animals, and that will illustrate also the anatomical differences between the various races of man. We should also have material to illus- trate the development and the functional activity of the special sense organs. There is a constant demand for such collections on the part of teachers, and we think no one ques- tions their high educational value. Now that Professor Tower, a weil-known physiologist, has taken a place on our scientific staff, and Professor Wheeler will soon be with us, it seems expedient to assign temporarily, until proper space can be found elsewhere, the south-west room on the main floor to collections of this nature. The most important accession of invertebrate animals is a collection of ccelenterates. This collection consists of about 200 specimens of West Indian corals, Actinians and Alcyonar- ians, collected by Dr. Duerden in Jamaica, and includes many co-types of species described by him in various papers. All the ccelenterates have been worked over by Dr. Duerden, and many of the specimens named and mounted with a view to illustrate their general biological characteristics. Arrange- ments have been made for several additions, including a col- lection of Beaufort Actinians from. Dr. J. J. Hamaker, a collection of Porto Rican corals, identified by T. Wayland Vaughan for the U. S. F. C., and specimens of ccelenterates from Woods Hole. 24 Report of the President. Through the courtesy of Hon. George M. Bowers, of the United States Fish Commission, the Museum has received a collection of 21 duplicate specimens of named Actinians from Porto Rico. Practically all the specimens of these two collec- tions are alcoholic, and make a most valuable addition to our already magnificent collection of West Indian ceelenterates, the greater part of which was obtained by Professor R. P. Whit- field. A collection of invertebrate animals from the Gulf of Cali- fornia has been given to the Museum by the Duke of Loubat. All the invertebrate material of this department has been thoroughly overhauled, classified, and placed in alcoves in the exhibition hall, and card catalogues of the various groups have been started. The department has continued to have charge of the Rep- tiles, Batrachians and Fishes, in addition to the invertebrate animals. Several interesting and important additions have been made to our collection of fishes. From Hon. George M. Bowers, the department has received specimens (co-types) of a new genus and species of fish, Wvstichthys duzonensis, from the Philippine Islands, the smallest known vertebrate. Special mention should be made of the donations of Mr. John Hiscox, who has given many specimens which were required in experiments on the preservation of fish. A good nucleus of a collection of common food fishes was secured by Messrs. Sherwood and Figgins, who spent several weeks during the summer at Woods Hole. The New York Zodédlogical Society and the Department of Parks have been the principal donors of reptiles and batrachians. The following papers have been published during the year: ‘‘Boring Alge as Agents in the Disintegration of Corals,” by J. E. Duerden; ‘‘The Sequoia: A Historical Review of Bio- logical Science”’ by George H. Sherwood. DEPARTMENT OF EnTomoLocy.—The Curator of Ento- mology reports that the Hoffman Collection of Butterflies has been transferred to the new cases. He states that 4,600 specimens of Coleoptera and Lepidoptera were numbered and Report of the President. 25 catalogued; 6,o00 Coleoptera and 500 Lepidoptera were mounted. ‘The Schauss Collection of Moths was provisionally arranged, and many species of insects identified for collectors and for those asking for the assistance of the department. The material obtained during a five weeks’ visit to the Black Mountains numbers fully 7,000 specimens. ‘The ex- pense of this expedition was defrayed by the Very Reverend Eugene A. Hoffman, D.D., LL.D. The following publications have been issued by the De- parement-) -° the Butterflies of the Vicinity of New York City’’; ‘‘ Descriptive Catalogue of the Noctuide found within Fifty Miles of New York City”; ‘‘ The Earlier Stages of Some Moths”’; ‘‘ Descriptions of some Larve of the Genus Catocala.”’ The death of the Very Reverend Eugene A. Hoffman re- moved a warm friend of the Museum, and a substantial sup- port from the Department of Entomology. Only a few weeks before his decease, he commissioned the Director to visit Reading, Pennsylvania, to examine a large collection of Lepi- doptera, and if really worth the price set upon it ($20,000) to purchase and bring it back to the Museum. The coilection was examined, but in view of the price set upon it and the large collections already in our possession, the Director did not encourage its purchase. Liprary.—The development of this department of the Mu- seum has necessitated certain administrative changes. Dr. Woodward has been appointed Curator of Maps and Charts, and Professor Ralph W. Tower, formerly of Brown University, has been appointed Curator of Books and Publications. Pro- fessor Tower took office early in December. As in the past, the library has been in constant use by mem- bers of the scientific staff, by scientists, students and others. Some most valuable additions have been received from Professor H. F. Osborn, the Duke of Loubat, Gen. Egbert L. NMicle, Gea, ji; Watts de. Peyster, Frederick A Constable; Mrs. M. Schuyler Elliot, Mrs. C. V. Riley, Hon. William Astor Chanler, the New York State Department of Public Instruction, the Indiana State Library, and the Government 26 Report of the President. of India; and numerous publications have been received in exchange for publications of the Museum. PuBLICATIONS.—The publication of the scientific results attending the investigations carried on by the Museum has progressed as in the past. Two numbers of the JZemoirs have been issued. The first, The Night Chant, by Washington Matthews, was prepared and issued through the generosity of Mr. F. E. Hyde, Jr. The second, Kwakiut] Texts, by Franz Boas, was issued by the Museum. The publication of Zhe American Museum Journal has con- tinued; nine numbers, and six illustrated leaflet supplements having been issued: Guide Leaflet Se Co Ming Ietalll Gre IB@ceil Wemelemtes ooo nob ooboséueocoeoge: W.

Harper Davis In concluding this my twenty-second report, I take pleasure in assuring the members of this Board that the past year has been one of achievement. The increase in the annual appro- priation, the growing popularity of the lectures, the large sums spent for laboratory research, the long list of publica- tions, the opening of new exhibition halls, the appropriation by the city of $200,000 for a new power house, the receipt of large invoices of ethnological material from Siberia and China, the conclusion of negotiations leading to the purchase of the Cope Collection, and the departure of several exploring expe- ditions are only a few of the indices of activity at the Museum, of the generosity of our friends, and of appreciation on the part of the City officers and the visiting public. The thirty-fourth year of the American Museum of Natural History is now brought to aclose. With thanks to you for your cordial co-operation, I am, Very truly yours, Morris K. JEsup, President.

At the Annual Meeting of the Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History, held on the ninth day of Febru- ary, 1903, the President announced the death of their late associate, Mr. Abram Stevens Hewitt, and feelingly referred to the able and valuable service given by the deceased in the upbuilding and development of the Museum, while a Trustee, during a period of twenty-nine years. The following minute offered by the President, was unanimously adopted, and the Secretary was directed to present a copy to the family of the deceased. The Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History, at this their first meeting after the death of their beloved associate and member, Abram Stevens Hewitt, affectionately place the following minute upon their records : ‘““Mr. Hewitt became a member of this Board in the year 1874, when the Museum occupied the Arsenal Building in Central Park. He was identified with the selection of the Building site on Manhattan Square. He witnessed the laying of the corner-stone, and he has shared with us the responsibilities incidental to the growth of the institution to its present proportions. For more than a quarter of a century, and almost to the time of his death, January eighteenth, our deliberations have felt his encouraging influence. He has been a generous contributor, a loyal patron, a wise counselor and a sympa- thetic colleague. But in our sense of his loss to the American Museum, we do not forget his larger interests, defined by him as the ‘ welfare of his fellow- citizens.’ Of comprehensive knowledge and broad experience, his mind was 96 In Memoriam. alert, his intuition correct, his judgment quick, his speech incisive, his action final. Mere expediency exercised no influence over duty, and convictions were invariably supported by absolute fearlessness. When an individual combines such qualities as these, his removal is a real loss not to his friends alone, but to the people, the city, the state, the country, and, indeed, we may well say to the entire world. Though we may no longer listen to the charm of his conversation, or continue in the enjoyment of his congenial companion- ship, we feel that we are better for having known him, and we cherish his ” memory. wit ‘ye ie iz 4 = = THE é ; _ AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. ; Be ’ “ead ‘ mn! | he Phe baie THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY; CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK CITY, Seventy-seventh Street and Central Park West.

To the Trustees and Members of the American Museum of Natural Fiistory : The President submits herewith a report of the affairs of the Museum for the year 1903. Finances.—In conformity with the recommendations of the Board of Trustees, the financial transactions of the Museum are divided into three separate accounts, and the de- tails of the receipts, expenditures and investments for the year just closed, as embodied in the Treasurer’s Report, will be found on pages 37 to 43 inclusive. These accounts and all books and vouchers have been duly examined and certified to by the Audit Company of New York. A few statements may help in making the details of this report clear. THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT—four hundred and forty thousand dollars—is far too small to approximate the needs of an institution doing the work that is attempted by the Museum. Although since the last annual meeting five thousand dollars has been added to this fund, the time has certainly arrived when the need of an endowment of at least one million dollars is urgently felt. This urgency is the more pronounced because of our peculiar relations with the City, the appropriations of which cannot be used for the purchase of specimens, for explor- ing expeditions or for the publication of scientific results. SPECIAL Funps.—The Assistant Treasurer has continued to act as Treasurer of the Eastern Asiatic Research Fund and of the Andrew J. Stone Expedition Fund. Both of these funds, as originally provided, will soon be exhausted. The results of Dr. Laufer’s explorations in China and the interest that several friends of the Museum have taken in him and his work are such as to encourage the belief that these researches will not be suspended. Mr. Stone’s work among the arctic mammals of Alaska and British Columbia has 9 10 Report of the President. yielded substantial results, of importance far beyond our original expectation. But all of the scientific problems of the arctic are by no means solved; there remain other areas, the zoological, geographical and geological survey of which would well repay the investment of future appropriations. City MAINTENANCE AcCOoUNT.—The amount received from the City for the maintenance of the Museum ($160,000) has remained the same asin tg02. While this is indeed a generous appropriation from the City, and is itself a substantial indication of the value that the City authorities place upon the work of the Museum, the amount is in reality too small to meet our running expenses and should be increased. For many years the Trustees have been obliged to make up deficiencies on this account, and the year 1903 has proved no exception, several members of the Board subscribing to a deficit of more than seven thousand dollars. GENERAL ACCOoUNT.—This is the account that reveals our regular sources of income and our regular expenditures for the development of the collections of the Museum at large, and it is by the examination from year to year of the receipts and expenditures as arranged under this account that one can most easily follow our general growth. The friends of the Museum are invited especially to subscribe to this general fund. The year 1903, when compared with 1902, shows a small increase in our income from invested funds, an increase of $1,300 in receipts from Life Members, and of $1,490 in our receipts from Annual Members. Contributions by the Trus- tees make the total receipts on this account, $78,050.30, which is approximately $13,000 more than in 1902. ENDOWMENT AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNT.—Friends of the Museum have often advanced the work of some particular Museum department because of their own interest in some branch of natural science, some special collection, or some particular country or locality. The sums of money thus con- tributed are kept apart, and an annual statement is published as the ‘‘Endowment and Investment Account.’’ A report is also made, in the appropriate department, of the success of Report of the President. II field expeditions, of the value of collections or of the scientific results that have attended research. Tue Buitpinc APPROPRIATIONS.—The construction on the appropriation of $200,000 made by the City of New York, and mentioned in the Report of 1902, has progressed as rapidly as could be expected. The walls for the new power wing have been erected, the boilers installed, and the roof is in process of construction. For several years the old lecture hall, near the main entrance, has been dismantled, and the condition of the base- ment grade has been such as to cause great inconvenience. Moreover, the above-mentioned appropriation for the new power plant was not sufficient to provide an adequate ap- proach. These conditions led to our requesting the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for $188,000, and on June 16, 1903, an ordinance was passed authorizing the expenditure of this amount. Under this appropriation work has already been started, and it is hoped that an attractive entrance hall will soon take the place of the present uninviting approach. Early in the fall the Hon. William R. Willcox, acting as President of the Department of Parks, contracted for the grad- ing of that portion of Manhattan Square lying to the north of the present building. The work is now well under way, although temporarily suspended because of the severity of the weather. The Park Board has wisely arranged the grades and walks of this new work so as to conform to the original plans of the Museum and to give a sightly appearance to the Square as a whole as section after section may be added to the present building. MEMBERSHIP.—The Museum has gained 214 new annual members and has lost 67 members through death and resigna- tion, leaving a net increase of 147. The income from mem- bership fees is used for the purchase of collections and for the development of the educational work of the Museum. We wish to have our membership list increased, and we cordially invite those who are interested in our general work to unite with us. 12 Report of the President.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALON- ToLocy.—Although the collections of fossil vertebrates are now so complete that large purchases of new material are not often necessary, the possession of such collections carries with it many scientific obligations, and on no department of the Museum are there more frequent calls for scientific data or expert advice. The Associate Curator made his second trip to the West Indies early in the year, investigating the volcanic phenomena that have followed the disturbances of 1902, and has prepared and carefully illustrated the work that the Museum has thus far accomplished in Martinique and other islands of the Lesser Antilles. In August Dr. Hovey represented the Museum at the Inter- national Congress of Geologists held in Vienna; and in Decem- ber he attended the conference of the Geological Society of America, held at St. Louis. At both these places he delivered papers bearing upon the work of the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY.—During the past year no department has more affected the general appearance of our exhibition halls than this. Early in the year the Shore Bird group was completed. It has been ad- mired by thousands. Then followed the splendid group of Osborn Caribou, the White-fronted Musk-ox and the Sitka Deer. A small group illustrating the geographical variation of the Song Sparrow has excited considerable comment, and our illustrations of the mounted specimens of the Long-tailed Fowl have been extensively copied in various European journals. From time to time the osteologist has added to the collec- tion of skulls and antlers. These have been placed on panels in the corridors and exhibition halls. Those illustrating four species of Caribou, and the Black-tailed and Virginia Deer are noteworthy. Several friends have united in the support of the work of this department. Mr. William F. Whitehouse has contributed a series of mammal skins from Abyssinia, and Messrs. Grant and Moore, several skins of the Mountain Caribou, Mountain Report of the President. 15 Goat, Black-tailed Deer, etc., from the Selkirks. The third year of the Andrew J. Stone Expedition has resulted in the capture of a splendid series of Bear, Sheep and Moose, not to mention more than eight hundred small mammals and several hundred birds. An examination of the list of accessions in another part of this report will reveal our continued obligation to the New York Zodlogical Society and to the Menagerie of Central Park. The Museum’s expedition in Mexico, under Mr. J. H. Batty, has yielded most satisfactory results, and the funds made available, largely through the instrumentality of Mr. John L. Cadwalader, for the increase in the number of our bird groups, have made it possible for Mr. Chapman to spend considerable time in the field, collecting material, photographs, etc., for new groups, many of which are already well under way. Our purchases have been noteworthy. They include the small but most interesting Collection of mammals and birds from Merida, Venezuela, and the Sennett Collection of birds (numbering nearly eight thousand specimens) from Texas and northeastern Mexico. The deposit by Dr. Jonathan Dwight, of about eight thousand specimens of North American birds, with full scientific data, materially adds to the resources of the Museum. The Curator, Professor J. A. Allen, has completed and published a report on the Siberian mammals collected on the Jesup North Pacific Expedition ; he has devoted much time to editorial work on the Museum 4u/etin, prepared a paper describing several Patagonian rodents, written a report on the collection of mammals made by the Stone Expedition in 1g02 and another report on Mr. Batty’s Durango collection. He has prepared papers on other collections made by Mr. Batty; on the Carriker collection of mammals from Costa Rica, and the Colburn collection of mammals from the State of Vera Cruz, Mexico. Mr. Chapman, besides his field work, has given much time to the general rearrangement of the study collections, made possible by the abolition of the Department of Taxidermy; and as a lecturer he has given freely of his time to the many i 16 Report of the President. demands made by the Museum in connection with its educa- tional work. The number of mammals received during the year was 1,939; the number of bird skins -was 10,237. DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY AND CONCHOLOGY.—The splendid collection of minerals, one of the foremost in the world, and the extensive collection of shells, now the property of the Museum, are of such scientific completeness that large accessions of new material are simply impossible. Growth in this department must be slow, but our prestige can be maintained only by our taking advantage of every opportunity to improve and complete. An examination of the list of accessions will show what new material has been added. Upon this list, as in previous years, we note the names of Miss Matilda W. Bruce, Mr. E. Scherni- kow, Mrs. Ida S. Oldroyd and Mr. F. A. Constable. More than ever before the collections have been of scientific use, and during the summer Drs. Baskerville and Kunz ex- amined practically every specimen in the entire collection while carrying on their investigations upon the reactions of minerals to radium, the X-rays and the ultra-violet rays. The expense of these experiments was largely borne by Mr. Edward D. Adams, whose gifts of valuable specimens of radium have kept the Museum in the front rank of those institutions which have been identified with experiments upon various radio- active agents. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALH#ONTOLOGY.—The chief event of the year in this department was the establishment of a Division of Fossil Fishes, of which Professor Bashford Dean was appointed Honorary Curator. The agreement of Colum- bia University to deposit the Newberry Collection in the Museum results in a combination of collections of fossil fishes most advantageous to the Museum, the University and students of fossil ichthyology alike. The total collection of fossil vertebrates now numbers 14,420 specimens, including the results of the following expeditions during the summer of 1903: Report of the President. 17 Wihiiney expedition for fossil \horsest a5 :\eersei- ee eer oe oh 36 Bridger expedition for Lower Eocene mammals........... 427 Continued excavation of Bone Cabin Quarry.............. 1 fe) Expeditions for Cretaceous Plesiosaurs and Mosasaurs..... 345 Exploration-of Pleistocene cave deposit. 2)... «0 se oe & 243 Evolution of the Horse.—This is the third and last year of the important explorations with reference to the evolution of the horse, based on the original gift of $15,000 by the late William C. Whitney. Altogether we have secured through these three expeditions 146 fossil horses, or 418 specimens of vertebrates altogether, including some such superb types as the Texas Glyptodon, the skulls of Mastodons, and the ances- tral deer-antelope, MWZerycodus. The exhibition of the horse series has been enriched this year by adding the beautiful skeleton of Meohipparion whitneyt and Mesohippus bairdit. Casts of the specimens of fossil horses have been distributed to a large number of institutions, and the exhibition of the evolution of the horse is most popular. Researches for the monograph on the evolution of the horse are being carried on by Professor Osborn and Mr. J. W. Gidley. Some of the new osteological preparations by Mr. S. H. Chubb should be mentioned, especially a series of preparations of skulls and teeth, and of the complete skeleton of the draught horse in action. The Bridger expedition was especially successful in demon- strating the existence of the armadillo in North America at a very early period, and in securing the complete skeleton of a fossil monkey. From the Cretaceous our series of marine reptiles or Mosasaur and Plesiosaur skeletons was greatly ex- tended. From the Bone Cabin Quarry we were fortunate in adding to our collection of Dinosaur skulls. These are among the greatest rarities in the Museum. The exhibition hall of fossil mammals has been completely re-arranged in a series of alcoves, each of which illustrates the evolution and distribution of a single group. This is found to greatly enhance the educational value of the exhibition. Specimens from the Pampean Collection are beginning to find their way into the hall. In order to facilitate the prepara- 18 Report of the President. tion of this particular collection, a special subscription of $1,200 by Messrs. James, Havemeyer, Dodge and Osborn was contributed. The fine Sabre-tooth Tiger skeleton has been mounted with this fund, and one of the large sloths is almost ready for mounting. The hall has also been enriched by a number of additions to Knight’s series of restorations of the extinct animals of North America, presented by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan. Each restora- tion is now accompanied by a model; and the reproductions of both the models and the pictures are spreading the reputa- tion of the Museum abroad and in this country. We are indebted to Mr. Morgan also for the gift of the skull of the rare white rhinoceros. Through exchange several casts have been received from Yale University Museum, and foot-tracks from the Middle Triassic, through Mr. Gordon. The increasing scientific value of the collection is indicated by the increasing number of scientific visitors and of special students. A large number of scientific papers has been pub- lished by various members of the department. Dr. O. P. Hay has been honored by a grant from the Carnegie Institution, enabling him to devote all his time to researches upon the evolution of the Testudinata. In return for the special privileges extended to Dr. Hay, the Institution has given him a special grant, so that our entire collection of Testudinata is now being prepared and will shortly be re- arranged. In connection with this work for the Museum, Dr. Hay has received the title of Associate Curator in charge of Chelonia. DEPARTMENT OF ARCH£ZOLOGY.—With the beginning of the college year, Mr. Saville, the acting head of this department, accepted an appointment at Columbia University as Loubat Professor of American Archzology, his time and attendance at the Museum being so adjusted as to enable him to assume the new obligations incident to this appointment. In June, asa representative of the Museum, he went to Mexico and arranged for important exchanges with the authorities of the National Report of the President. 19 Museum, secured data bearing upon Mexican archeology, and re-examined the Ruins of Monte Alban. The collections in the Loubat Hall have been arranged so as to show the geographical sequence of the several special culture areas of the ancient people of Mexico and Central America and the progress made by the various prehistoric nations. ‘This has necessitated the provision of several new cases and the printing of a large number of descriptive labels. A guide to the hall is in process of preparation. The general exhibits of the archeology of the United States have been enlarged through the material collected in the valley of the Columbia by Mr. Harlan I. Smith, and by minor addi- tions, as will be noted by referring to the list of accessions. The preparation of a series of relief maps, illustrating the work of the ancient Mound Builders, has received considerable attention, and an exhibit, illustrative of the customs of the Atlantic Coast Indians, has been installed. The return of Mr. A. F. Bandelier, after an absence of eleven years in Peru and Bolivia, has awakened interest in the Museum’s large collection of archeological specimens from South America. Mr. Bandelier, assisted by Mrs. Bandelier, has undertaken the re-examination and rearrangement of all the material exhibited in the Peruvian gallery, and has added to the Museum’s records scientific data, historical matter and incidental information, which greatly enhance their value.= Mr. C. W. Mead has selected a series from the South Amer- ican collections to illustrate the use of musical instruments by the Incas, and has written a very creditable guide leaflet on this subject. In May, Dr. Ales Hrdli¢ka, who, through the liberality of the Messrs. Hyde, has for several years been attached to the Museum, received an appointment at the National Museum, Washington. While his departure from New York leaves a distinct vacancy in our scientific ranks, which may retard the development of the Museum’s contemplated work in Physical Anthropology for a while, we are glad that the toil of one of our scientific men has received such prompt acknowledgment, and we wish him every success in his new undertaking. 20 Report of the President. Through the continued generosity of Dr. Frederick E. Hyde, Mr. Volk has gathered and finally arranged the vast quantity of material bearing upon the early appearance of man in the Trenton Gravel, and it is probable that this work, which was begun several years ago and has been carried on with the ut- most patience and care, will soon be finished, the material in- stalled and the results ready for publication. Mr. George H. Pepper, in charge of the archeological and certain phases of the ethnological work in the southwest, has assiduously cared for the instructive display of the material in the exhibition halls; and through his work among the Indians during the past summer has brought to the Museum collections of pottery, blankets, photographs, etc., supplementing and enlarging the collections which were already in our possession, and largely the ygift of Mr. B. Talbot B. Hyde and Frederick BE iydes jr: In concluding this the tenth report of this department, and in view of the appointment of its former curator, Professor F. W. Putnam, to a position in many respects of greater respon- sibility—viz., that of Director of the Department of Anthro- pology at the University of California—it is fitting that we should outline briefly the development at the American Museum of those departments which have been instituted under his advice and the administration of which has been assigned to his direction: Professor Putnam was appointed Curator of Anthropology in the spring of 1894. At that time the exhibition of the col- lections relating to Man was confined to what is now the ‘‘Shell Hall,’’ on the fifth floor, and the western half of the ‘‘ Bird Gallery’’ on the third floor. There had been no systematic explorations, no scientific publications, and the head of the department had but a single assistant. Within these ten years the department has grown until, at the present time, the col- lections occupy eight large exhibition halls and twelve storage rooms. Explorations have been made throughout America and parts of Asia, the scientific publications fill a score of volumes, and the present department staff includes no less Report of the President. 21 than seven men of recognized scientific attainments. The Museum has lost a valuable aid from the scientific staff and a good friend and companion. DEPARTMENT OF ETHNOLOGY.—The department has received notable accessions during the year, both from Museum expe- ditions and by exchange. The following deserve especial mention: From North America, the Kwakiutl collection ob- tained by Mr. Hunt, the Blackfoot, Gros Ventres and Sioux collection by Dr. Wissler, the Ojibwa by Mr. Jones, a collec- tion illustrating Maidu ceremonials by Dr. Dixon, the Lower Thompson by Mr. Teit, a small collection from southern California by Miss DuBois and one from Oaxaca by Mr. Saville. By arrangement with the Bureau of Missions, an interesting collection of African material from Angola and the Congo, made by Rev. Frank T. Lea, has been deposited wiht the Museum. The Chinese collections by Dr. Laufer, made under the auspices of the East Asiatic Committee, have been largely increased by various shipments. An especially valuable collection from central Australia has been obtained by exchange from the National Museum at Melbourne, Victoria. The above, all except the Chinese and African, collections, are installed, and on exhibition. The extensive material from Siberia, obtained by Messrs. Bogoras and Jochelson for the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, was placed in the Siberian Hall on the ground floor and opened to the public in Septem- ber. The Demuth collection of pipes, with accessions received during the year, has been placed in the west wing on the second floor. The Chinese collection has been placed temporarily in the cases in the corner gallery of the west wing, and is now in process of permanent installation. Much attention has also been given to the preparation of models and figures illustrative of the life of the tribes of Siberia and of North America. Several of these groups are now ready for exhibition. 22 Report of the President. The Huntington California Expedition was continued during the summer by Dr. Dixon assisted by Mr. Howard B. Wilson. Mr. Wilson was attacked by typhoid fever shortly after reach- ing the field, and, when apparently convalescent, suffered a relapse and died. Mr. Wilson was a recent graduate of Har- vard University, and had already shown marked promise as a worker in anthropology. His death is a loss both to the Museum and to science. Dr. Dixon continued his researches on the Maidu, Pit River and Shasta Indians, and brought back a mass of valuable information and specimens. | It is gratifying to note that the scientific results of the Huntington Expedition are attracting wide and increasing interest among ethnologists. North American Research.—Dr. Wissler proceeded in the spring of 1903 to Montana and Canada to continue his work among the Sioux, Gros Ventres and Blackfeet. He spent the summer among these Indians, and was again notably success- ful, his collection illustrative of the development of decorative art throwing much light upon a problem to which the depart- ment has given particular attention during recent years. Mr. William Jones visited the Ojibwa of Canada, the Meno- minee and the Sauk and Fox, and made extensive collections both of material and information. Both Dr. Wissler’s and Mr. Jones’s expeditions were con- ducted in coéperatior with the Royal Ethnographical Museum of Berlin. Mr. James Teit has continued his work among the tribes of the Lower Fraser and the Upper Thompson and Nicola Valleys. Miss Constance Goddard DuBois visited the Diegueno of southern California, and obtained information with regard to their ceremonials and also a small collection of material for exhibition. Rev. J. W. Chapman has been continuing his work for the Museum among the Indians of the Lower Yukon in Alaska. Mr. Henry W. Tate is furnishing material for the depart- ment from the Tsimshian Indians of the North Pacific coast. In the course of an expedition which he is conducting for the United States government, Dr. John R. Swanton has Report of the President. 23 undertaken to obtain additional information regarding Alaskan material now in the Museum. Mr. Casper Mayer visited the Indian Congress on Long Island during the summer and succeeded in obtaining 33 casts of Indians, chiefly Sioux. Capt. George N. Comer and Capt. James S. Mutch are in the Arctic, and are continuing their collections under the direction of the department. Expedition tn China.—During the past year Dr. Laufer has been actively pushing the work in China, carried on under the auspices of the East Asiatic Committee. Very extensive col- lections, referring particularly to the industrial life of the Chi- nese, have been received by the Museum. Dr. Laufer is ex- pected to return to New York during the spring of 1904, and will give his personal attention to the installation of these collections. From the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, the first Memoir by Mr. Bogoras on the Chukchee is now in press and will ap- pear shortly. Mr. Bogoras is now in Europe and at work on the second part of his studies on the Chukchee, a large portion having been already completed. Mr. Jochelson has finished his first Memoir on the Koryak, and it will go to press in the near future, and Dr. Swanton has completed a lengthy Memoir on the Haida Indians, which is now ready for publication. Although it will take some time to work up scientifically all the material that has come to the Museum as the result of this expedition, the demonstration of a close relationship existing between certain tribes ef eastern Siberia and the aborigines of our own country is one of the results that it was originally hoped might come from this work. Dr. Farrand is editing Mr. Teit’s notes on the mythology of British Columbia, and it is expected that the work will be ready for the press during the first half of 1904. Dr. Dixon has practically completed an exhaustive paper on the ethnology of the Maidu Indians of California. Dr. Wissler has been engaged in revising his notes on the decorative art of the Sioux, in the light of information obtained by him during the summer. 24 Report of the President. Dr. A. L. Kroeber, of the University of California, is at work upon a detailed account of Arapaho ceremonials, based upon materials collected by him for the Museum. Mr. William Jones has completed a paper upon the language of the Sauk and Fox, also based upon information collected in the course of Museum expeditions. Lectures.—Professors Boas and Farrand have conducted a course of lectures on general ethnography for students of Columbia University, in the lecture room of the Museum, using the collections for purposes of illustration. Dr. Wissler, assisted by Mr. Lewis, has given a course of lectures on primitive industries in connection with the exten- sion work of Teachers College. This course has also been given at the Museum, and is based entirely upon the demon- stration of specimens. Dr. Farrand will conduct a similar course during the summer of 1904, and it is hoped that work of this character will develop rapidly in the future. DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.—After considerable time spent in arranging the collections, the new hall of this de- partment (the gallery floor of the east wing) was opened on March 8, when the entire collection of butterflies, donated by the late Very Reverend Eugene A. Hoffman, was placed on exhibition for the first time. This donation consists of about five thousand specimens of Lepidoptera, arranged in fif- teen cases on the east and the south side, and the local collection transferred from the old building to the new hall, occupying the rail cases. Excellent exhibition space has been given to specimens of insect architecture and to the Jesup collection of insects injurious to forest trees. Much time has been spent in the regular routine work of the department. The sets of in- sects for the use of schools have been in circulation, and many specimens from our study collections have been used by visiting scientists. Among the notable additions to the department is a collec- tion of over eight thousand Deptera, containing more than one thousand species and one hundred and seventy types, given by Report of the President. 25 Dr. William Morton Wheeler. This gift raises our collection of Diptera to the first rank of scientific importance. A valuable collection of Gall Insects (Cynipide), contain- ing several thousand specimens and many types, has been donated by Mrs. Margaret Bassett. Mr. Samuel V. Hoffman has generously continued the work begun by his father in the Black Mountains and made it pos- sible for the Curator to spend seven weeks in this region, extending the work commenced in 1tgoo. Mr. Hoffman has contributed also towards the purchase of Lepidoptera. Mr. Beutenmiiller’s publications are referred to in another part of this report. DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—During the past year all the material in the department has been thoroughly overhauled, classified and catalogued, and duplicate specimens set aside for exchange and for the use of the public schools. Considerable progress has been made in the installation of specimens for exhibition. Thirty compound microscopes are mounted in the cases so as to show typical forms of the Pro- tozoa, which are too small to be seen by the naked eye. For the material used in this exhibit the Museum is indebted to Professor Gary N. Calkins. Dr. Dahlgren has prepared a number of beautiful models of Radiolarians, Foraminifera, Planarians, Nemerteans, Hydroids, and of the Oyster and Quahog Clam. Many of the specimens in the fine collection of Japanese glass-rope sponges, secured for the Museum by Professor Bashford Dean, have been bleached and mounted. A fine large specimen of the Giant Spider Crab of Japan has been mounted and placed on the south wall of the Synoptic Hall. Small biological collections, representing geographical variation, gynandromorphism and the life-history of the boll- weevil, have been put on exhibition, and others are in course of preparation. The following donations to the department are especially noteworthy: The department has acquired a specimen of a very rare Selachian, taken at a depth of five hundred fathoms in the Japan Sea. Four specimens of a rare form of some 26 Report of the President. of the corals were donated by Professor Whitfield. Through Commissioner George M. Bowers, a number of Hawalian fishes: were received, and Dr. Joseph Thompsom_yuUas vw donated a collection of fishes from Dry Tortugas. The New York Zodlogical Society donated several fine speci- mens of snakes, which have been mounted for exhibition. From Dr. C. H. Eigenmann were received representatives of all but one of the species of cave vertebrates of the United States. Several insect preparations, representing metamor- phoses, and typical forms for the synoptic collection, were purchased from the Kny-Scheerer Co. A fine collection of different species of mosquitoes, with their larve and pupe, was purchased as a preliminary step toward installing a collec- tion to illustrate the origin of malaria. By far the most important work entrusted to and accom- plished by the department was that of Mr. Sherwood, who has succeeded in putting the relations of the Museum to the public schools of the city on a firm scientific and pedagogical basis. The collections of specimens and the careful outlines of hints for the teachers in their use of the collections are an enormous advance on all former attempts of the Museum in this direction. ‘To this fact the appreciation of the teachers is an eloquant witness. From all parts of the city have been received numerous requests from teachers for material to aid them in their nature-study work. To meet these requests we have made up from our duplicate specimens study collections of invertebrates and birds, which are loaned for short periods to any school in the city making application for them. For this work the Department of Entomology has prepared 35 cases of insects, the Depart- ment of Mineralogy and Conchology 25 sets of mollusk shells and 20 sets of minerals, the Department of Mammalogy and Ornithology 20 sets of birds, the Department of Archeology and Ethnology 5 sets of anthropological implements. These collections have been turned over to the Department of Invertebrate Zodlogy, and, with the 80 sets of invertebrates prepared from our own specimens, make a total of 175 collec- tions which are available as loans to the schools. Each species Report of the President. 27 of a collection is accompanied by an individual label giving common name, scientific name and locality. The collections are especially welcome in the schools of the lower East Side, where we have found as many as 4,000 children in a building and scarcely a single specimen to illustrate nature work. A great number of school children, both singly and accom- panied by their teachers, have studied the collections during the year, and a number of lectures, especially designed for school children, have been given by Mr. Sherwood and some of the teachers. During the second quarter of the year there were many in- quiries from artists, writers, business men and other visitors, especially foreign travelers, for information concerning sub- jects pertaining to the department. Professor W. M. Wheeler assumed his duties as Curator of the department in September. Dr. Duerden, Honorary Curator of Coelenterates, has been engaged in negotiating exchanges in corals with some of the larger museums in England, Ireland and this country. The following papers have been contributed by members of the department during the past year: J. E. Duerden, ‘‘ West Indian Sponge-incrusting Actinians;’’» W. M. Wheeler, ‘‘Some Notes on the Habits of Cerapachys,’’ Psyche, Vol. X, 1903; **Extraordinary Females in Three Species of Formica, etc;” ‘Some New Gynandromorphous Ants, etc.”” Bull. Am. Mus. Mat tHast., Vol. XIX, rooz. DEPARTMENT OF Books AND PuBLICATIONS.—The adoption of the decimal system (a generally approved method of classi- fication) and the placing of the library of the New York Academy of Sciences and that of the American Ethnological Society in our custody have necessitated the classification of the combined libraries and the rejection of much duplicate material. Some idea of the amount of labor involved may be gathered from the fact that the time of six assistants during the entire year has been devoted exclusively to this work. The anthropological, archeological and ethnological books have been brought together and installed in the room of the 28 Report of the President. Anthropological Seminary, where they are now available for reference. The contiguity of several large educational and scientific in- stitutions in and about New York has made imperative the existence of a large, complete and well arranged library of science; and it seems destined that the Museum, occupying, as it does, a central position, employing a large staff of scientific workers, and offering assembly and lecture halls, laboratories and instruments to scientists and students of natural history, should be the institution to bring together and arrange for general consultation a library bearing upon the various branches of natural science. With this in view, the work of the past year may be considered as the laying of a foundation upon which such a library may be built—a library that will not duplicate the work that is being done by our neighbor on the north, the National Geographical Society, or our neighbor on the south, the New York Historical Society, but a library that nevertheless will require the expenditure of considerable sums of money for the purchase of special books of reference and for the completion of imperfect series of volumes now in our possession. An entire set of bibliographical cards, published by the Concilium Bibliographicum at Zurich, has been received, and, what is of quite as much moment, these cards have been so Classified that one desiring specific information in regard to any current zodlogical article, may find easy reference. The employment of a binder has greatly reduced the expense of keeping our books in repair and has solved the problem of the care and classification of reprints. The reorganization of the general work of this department has necessitated a revision of our exchange list. The print- ing and distribution of the Bulletins and Memoirs are now carried on according to the following schedule: 1. The regular edition of the scientific publications consists of six hundred copies. 2. An author desiring copies in addition to those provided for below may have the same at cost, provided a request is made to the Editor at the time the manuscript is submitted. ; Report of the President. 29 3. The Curator of Books and Publications, on receiving an edition from the printer or binder, arranges and disposes of the publication as follows: Zoe, Gesenve series of fifty copies is set apart, not for the present to be drawn upon, and for distribution in complete sets only; > 6. An ‘‘author’s series” of twenty-five copies is handed to the author for his private use; ’ c. A ‘‘reference series’’ not to exceed two hundred copies is issued to the leading libraries, museums and educational institutions of the world, it being the purpose to have the list of these institutions made with care, and to place, either by sale or gift, a complete set of our publications in each for reference for all future time. J @. An ‘*‘exchange series”’ not to exceed one hundred copies is issued to such institutions, organizations and individuals as may furnish an equivalent exchange. é. A ‘*general series,’ from which are drawn copies for distribution among working men of science (as may be recom- mended by the heads of departments and duly approved by the Director), for the preparation of ‘‘reviews,”’ for distribution among friends of the Museum, for use among field helpers, for use as complimentary copies, sales, etc. Following is a list of the scientific publications of the Museum issued in 1903, as received by the Curator for dis- tribution and exchange: -DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY.

Matthew DEPARTMENT OF Maps anpD CuHarts.—Dr. Woodward has spent the entire year in the preliminary work of classifying, preparing and cataloguing the Museum’s collection of maps and charts, and by the end of another year it is hoped that these will be in such shape that they will be available for Teterence, TRANSPORTATION.—The mere tabulation of the various railways and transportation companies that, through the grant- ing of passes and special rates, have assisted our field work— indeed, one might almost say that have made this work pos- sible—is not an adequate acknowledgment of our indebtedness. We feel that these corporations are co-workers with us, and that any credit the Museum may receive for its effort to pro- mote science and educate the people should be shared with those who have united with us towards this common end. The list is as follows : Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Railway. Canadian Pacific Railway. Chicago & Northwestern Railway. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway. Canadian Northern Railway. Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway. Erie Railroad. Great Northern Railway. Missouri Pacific Railway. Illinois Central Railroad. Mexican International Railroad.

Report of the President. a3 THE ATTENDANCE.—On several occasions during the year, the attendance has been such as to tax our resources. The largest daily attendance during the history of the Museum was recorded on February 23, when 7,470 visitors entered the building. The total lecture attendance was FOE TO. kee number of scholars visiting the Museum for purposes of study has risen from 5,000 in 1902 to 7,032 in 1903, and the number of teachers accompanied by students, i. e., the number of formal classes meeting at the Museum has risen from 317 to 430. This is largely due to the effort that has been made to bring the Museum into active co-operation with the teachers of the City and to provide according to their requests. The total attendance for the year was 388,090. ASSOCIATED SOCIETIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.—The Museum from year to year is becoming more and more a place for the meeting of men interested in science and education. The following organizations have held meetings during the year, and frequently have offered scientific programmes sufficiently attractive to fill the assembly rooms to overflowing: The New York Academy of Sciences. (Astronomy, Physics and Chemistry ; Biology ; Geology and Mineralogy ; Anthropology and Psychology.) The Linnzean Society of New York. The New York Entomological Society. The New York Mineralogical Club. Audubon Society. New York Historical Society. American Ethnological Society. American Institute of Mining Engineers. West Side Natural History Society.

L do hereby give and bequeath to ‘* THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL JHISTORY,” “07 wherCily of New. Vork ss. THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT. To the Trustees and Members of the American Museum of Natural flistory : The President submits herewith a report of the affairs of the Museum for the year 1904. FINANCES.—In conformity with the recommendations of the Board of Trustees, the financial transactions of the Museum are divided into three separate accounts, and the de- tails of the receipts, expenditures and investments for the year just closed, as embodied in the Treasurer’s Report, will be found on pages 43 to 49 inclusive. These accounts and all books and vouchers have been duly examined and certified to by the Audit Company of New York. A few statements may help in making the details of this report clear. Permanent Endowment.—Attention is directed to the Treas- urer’s Report of the Endowment and Investment Account, wherein are detailed the gifts made for the Permanent Endow- ment Fund. This fund now amounts to $1,013,000, an increase of $573,000 since the last Report. The John B. Trevor Fund has been increased to $15,000, through the gift of $5,000 by Mrs. J. B. Trevor. Miss Matilda W. Bruce gave $10,000 in bonds, the interest of which is to be used for the purchase of desirable specimens of minerals. Special Funds.—Vhe Andrew J. Stone Expedition Fund and the Eastern Asiatic Research Fund have been closed. The work begun under the latter is continued through con- tributions by the members of the East Asiatic Committee. Attention is called to the reports (page 43) of the receipts and disbursements of the funds, for which the Assistant Treasurer acts as treasurer. City Maintenance Account.—The amount.received from the City for the maintenance of the Museum, $160,000, was II 2 Report of the President the same as in 1903 and 1902. This generous sum proved, however, insufficient to meet the running expenses, leaving a deficit of more than $8,o00 to be made up by a friend of the Museum. Naturally, with the steady and rapid growth of the Museum, the running expenses must correspondingly increase, for which provision must be made. General Account.—The total receipts from all sources have been $78,605.30. The interest from invested funds amounted to $35,145, an increase of $13,340 over the receipts from this source for 1903; $2,400 have been received from Life Memberships and $13,980 from Annual Members, an increase in the latter of $2,240 over the preceding year. Endowment and Investment Account.—The principal items of increase have already been mentioned under the head of ‘‘ Permanent Endowment,” and the expenditures will be found detailed under the several departments to which the gifts especially relate, and in the financial statements of this account on pages 48 and 49. BUILDING AND Grounpbs.—The improvements in the building and grounds mentioned as in progress in last year’s report, under appropriations of 1902 and 1903, have progressed. These include the new fover, the construction of two assembly rooms for classes and for the meetings of the various scientific societies affiliated with the Museum, new toilets, and the new power house. ‘The basement of the main building has been lowered and work is now in progress on an intermediate building between the Lecture Hall and the Power Station. New exhibition cases have been constructed in various parts of the building, and several new exhibition halls have been thrown open to the public, as noted later in the reports on the departments to which they relate. MEMBERSHIP. The gain in annual members has been 278, resulting in a net gain of 191, the loss through deaths and resignations having been 87. It is a pleasure to record that Report of the President. 13 this is the largest number added during a single year in the Museum’s history, as it indicates increased interest in the work of the Museum.

Henpricks, Henry H. WIENER, DR. JOSEPH DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND PAL#ONTOLOGY.—The work of cataloguing and labeling has progressed steadily throughout the year, over five thousand catalogue entries having been made and more than eleven hundred new labels prepared. The acquisitions include an important collection of Silurian fossils from Ohio, acquired by purchase, and several minor additions, obtained partly by exchange and partly by purchase. Additions have also been made to the collection of rock speci- mens, designed to illustrate the geology of New York Island. Two new cases placed in the alcoves at the south end of the Geological Hall have given opportunity for a better display and more convenient arrangement of the material in that part of the hall. The Curator, Professor Whitfield, has prepared and pub- lished several papers in the Museum Bulletin, illustrated with four plates, relating to a new genus and species of Lower Report of the President. 15 Carboniferous Bryozoan, a remarkable case of the reproduction of lost parts shown in a fossil Crinoid, and supposed worm burrows in rocks of the Chemung Group of New York. The Associate Curator, Dr. Hovey, has had charge of the Museum Journal, and has prepared and published various papers con- nected with his investigations of volcanic eruptions in the West Indies, and has given lectures in the Museum courses and elsewhere, in the interest of the Museum, on these and other subjects. DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY.—Sev- eral important accessions have been made during the year to the collections of both mammals and birds, partly by purchase and partly through Museum Expeditions. Of special popular interest is the installation of a number of noteworthy bird groups, and the advanced state of preparation of others. The former include the Yellow-billed Magpie, the Sierra Dusky Grouse, the Mountain Quail and the Valley Quail, illustrating interesting types of bird life peculiar to California; the latter include a large Flamingo Group, and a group illustrating the bird life of the irrigated portions of the San Joaquin Valley, California. Considerable progress has also been made in the construction of large mammal groups, as the Roosevelt or Olympic Elk, the big Alaska Peninsula Bear, and the Mexican Collared Peccary groups. Single specimens mounted for ex- hibition include a Central American Puma, a Crested Antelope, a Rocky Mountain Goat (presented by Mr. C. A. Moore, Jr.), and some twenty or more smaller animals, as hares, squirrels, spermophiles, wood rats, field mice, etc. The Museum Expeditions include the trip of the Associate Curator, Mr. Chapman, to Florida and the Bahamas under the North American Ornithology Fund, which resulted in securing abundant material for a fine Flamingo Group, and also for other bird groups soon to be constructed. The Mexican Ex- pedition under J. H. Batty has been very successful, yielding large returns in birds and mammals, including group acces- sories as well as valuable material for other departments of the Museum. 16 Report of the President. The accessions altogether include about 1,900 mammals and over 6,000 birds, 278 of the latter being by donation, and include 136 birds from Ecuador, presented by Dr. S. Austin Davis. ‘The Museum is indebted to Mr. N. D. Bill, of Spring- field, Mass., for the use of the schooner yacht G/lorza for Mr. Chapman’s work in Florida and the Bahamas. The Museum is also indebted to the New York Zodlogical Society and to the Central Park Menagerie for many valuable specimens received in the flesh. The Curator, in addition to his editorial supervision of the Bulletin, has been able to devote considerable time to the preparation of papers on mammals, and during the year pub- lished reports on a number of important collections received during recent years and now for the first time critically identi- fied. A list of these, twelve in number, will be found in the re- port of the ‘‘ Department of Books and Publications ” (page 33). The Associate Curator, besides his important field explora- tions and constant supervision of the work on the bird groups, has published a description of a new grouse from the Sierra Nevada of California and a report on the birds collected by the Andrew J. Stone Expedition to Alaska in 1903. He has also given many lectures in the Museum courses and also elsewhere in the interest of the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALEHONTOLOGY.—Nearly 600 specimens of fossil vertebrates have been added to the col- lection during the year, principally as a result of the following expeditions: Expeditions for Cretaceous reptiles... ..........-.eseeees 17 Bridger expedition for fossil mammals. ............-.--- 388 Big Badlands expedition for fossil mammals ............-- 129 Completed exploration of Pleistocene cave deposit ........ 49 The total number of catalogued specimens in the collection is now a little over.15,000. The most important addition to the collection was the nearly complete skeleton of the Columbian Mammoth, dis- covered near Jonesboro, Indiana, and purchased by the Museum. This splendid specimen will be mounted and placed Report of the President. Lz on exhibition beside the Mastodon skeleton, which it con- siderably exceeds in height and in length of tusks. The Bridger expedition secured materials for a mounted skeleton of the remarkable six-horned Uintathere, a giant mammal of the Eocene epoch, and a number of skulls or skeletons of new or rare extinct animals of smaller size. The expedition to the Big Badlands secured a number of fine specimens of the character- istic fossils of that rich field, including several genera hitherto: unknown. A nearly complete skeleton of the Oligocene ancestor of the wolf was acquired by purchase. ‘The explorations in the fissure or open cave deposits of northern Arkansas have yielded a large collection of the forest-haunting animals of the Pleistocene epoch, probably contemporary with the earliest appearance of manin North America. The collection is pecu- liarly rich in small animals; it includes some sixty species, many of them extinct, the others mostly northern animals, indicating a former much colder climate than now prevails in that region. Our collections of extinct reptiles have been enriched by two fine Plesiosaur skulls and a number of Mosasaur skele- tons from South Dakota, two Marine Crocodile skulls from Montana, and a skull of the Duck-billed Dinosaur from New Mexico. Especial attention has been given in the field-work of recent years to the search for fossil reptiles, which, although more difficult to find and more expensive to collect and pre- pare for exhibition than fossil mammals, are yet of greater interest, as representing more ancient and less known types of life, more widely different from those of the present day, and in many respects far more extraordinary than the extinct animals shown in the Hall of Fossil Mammals. Much progress has been made in the preparation of these extinct reptiles, and especially of the Dinosaurs, for exhibition in the new Dinosaur Hall. The skeleton of the Dwarf Car- nivorous Dinosaur, or ‘‘ Bird-Catcher,’ has been placed on exhibition, the gigantic Brontosaurus skeleton is nearly com- pleted, and three other huge and remarkable Dinosaur skele- tons are well under way toward mounting. A number of skulls, limbs, and incomplete specimens have been prepared and mounted, enough to go a long way toward filling the new 18 Report of the President. hall. The energies of the department have been largely devoted during the past year to the mounting of the huge Brontosaurus skeleton which will form the central attraction of the Dinosaur Hall. This skeleton, 67 feet long and over 15 feet high, has presented peculiar difficulties, both mechani- cal and scientific, in the mounting, and much study and ex- periment by the Curator and his staff were required to solve them. In the modeling of the missing parts of the skeleton we are indebted for many courtesies to the Museum of Yale University. Corresponding courtesies have been extended by us to the Carnegie Museum in connection with the cast of the Diplodocus skeleton being prepared there for exhibition in the British Museum, London. The cessation of the Whitney Fund for the exhibit of the Evolution of the Horse has seriously crippled the work of the department in this direction. Much has been accom- plished during the three years of the continuance of this fund, the Oligocene, Miocene, Pleistocene and modern horses being now well illustrated by mounted skeletons and by series of skulls, feet, etc., showing the morphology and evolution of those parts in each of the above stages in the development of the race. Several important problems, however, still remain unsolved, especially in the Eocene or earliest stages of the Ancestry of the Horses, which are as yet incompletely known and inadequately illustrated. The most important addition to the Horse Alcove during the year was the exhibit of the Rear- ing Horse and Man skeletons. An instructive comparison with the evolution of the Horse is furnished by the series of feet illustrating the Evolution of the Camel in North America. The preparation of the fossil fish collections for exhibition has progressed rapidly under direction of Professor Dean; they will be displayed in the small tower hall in the southeast corner adjoining the Dinosaur Hall. Dr. Hay has continued his studies upon fossil turtles with the assistance of the grant from the Carnegie Institution, and a fine series of specimens is being prepared for exhibition. A number of scientific papers were mantished during the year, and several monographic researches continued or com- Report of the President. 19 pleted by the Curator and his staff, the most important being upon the fossil horses and titanotheres. DEPARTMENT OF ETHNOLOGY.—The department has re- ceived accessions principally through a number of expeditions sent out by the Museum. The following deserve special men- tion: From North America, a Nootka collection obtained by Mr. George Hunt. The most remarkable part of this collection is a whaler’s ceremonial house, which was found on a pond in the interior of Vancouver Island, and in which generations of whalers purified themselves, the house being used at the same time as a depository for the skulls of the whalers.—A Black- foot collection obtained by Dr. Clark Wissler. Dr. Wissler paid special attention to a study of the ceremonials of the Blackfeet, and his collection illustrates in some detail the re- ligious ceremonials of this tribe.—A collection from the in- terior of the State of Washington, by Mr. James Teit. This collection was made in continuance of work done in former years in British Columbia, and represents the culture of the Salish tribes near the boundary of the United States.—A col- lection from the Uchee, made by Mr. F. G. Speck.—A series of casts and negatives of natives of various countries, col- lected by Mr. Caspar Mayer during the World’s Fair at St. Louis. Mr. Mayer’s work was done in coéperation with the Field Columbian Museum. During the past year Dr. Berthold Laufer closed his field- work in China. His expedition, which was provided for by Mr. Jacob H. Schiff, occupied three years, and all the col- lections made have been received. They cover the various aspects of the social and industrial life of China, and give a comprehensive view of Chinese culture. The collection has -been installed in the Southwest Gallery, and has been ar- ranged so as to illustrate the industrial and domestic life of the Chinese, their amusements, their religion and their arts. Special stress has been laid upon the demonstration of the historical development of various forms of Eastern life. 20 Report of the Prestdent. The Corean collections of the department were increased by a collection made by Dr. C. C. Vinton. Rey. J. W. Chapman, Mr. Henry W. Pate, Capt. Georse N. Comer and Capt. James S. Mutch are continuing work for the Museum in Alaska, British Columbia, and eastern arctic America, but no collections were received during the past year. Dr. William Jones continued the researches begun for the Museum under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution, and incidentally obtained additional explanation of material col- lected in previous years. During the summer Mr. Frederick R. Burton paid a pro- longed visit to the Ojibwa Indians. The Museum provided him with a phonograph, and he made an extensive collection of records of Indian songs. Dr. Roland B. Dixon revisited California in order to clear up anumber of points relating to the studies made during previous years. The extension of the North American collections has. re- quired considerable rearrangement in the Indian Hall, the new material being placed in proper geographical sequence. A special collection has been arranged illustrating the indus- trial life of the Plains Indians. The most notable addition to the William Demuth pipe collection has been the acquisition, from Mr. Francis La Flesche, of a set of ceremonial pipes of the Omaha Indians. The results of the expeditions undertaken by the depart- ment are being pushed as rapidly as possible. Dr. Wissler published a paper on the decorative art of the Sioux, which embodies the results of his researches during the years 1902 and 1903. Dr. Dixon has completed a paper on the ethnology of the Maidu Indians of California, which is in the hands of the printer. Dr. A. L. Kroeber’s description of the ceremonial organi-. zation of the Arapaho has been issued. He has handed in manuscripts on the religion of the Arapaho and on the eth- nology of the Gros Ventres, thus finishing the discussion of the results of his expedition to these tribes. Report of the President. 21 A memoir on the decorative art of the Huichol, by Dr. Carl Lumholtz, was also published during the past year. From the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, Mr. Waldemar Bogoras’s memoir on the Chukchee has been printed and Pals lished by E. J. Brill, Lmt. Dr. John R. Swanton’s description of the Haida of Queen Charlotte Islands has also been issued. At the present time the first part of Mr. Waldemar Jochel- son’s description of the Koryak, containing the religion and myths of the tribe, is in press. The last part of the Kwakiutl Texts, by F. Boas and G. Hunt, is also in press. Mr. Bogoras has handed in his manuscript on the religion of the Chukchee. Dr. John R. Swanton has handed in his volume of Haida Hexts. In the summer Dr. Boas, as arepresentative of the Museum, attended the Congress of Americanists held in Stuttgart. The utilization of the Museum collections for purposes of university instruction has continued. The same courses that are mentioned in the Annual Report of 1903 were given dur- ing the present year, and many students carried on their work in the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF ARCHHOLOGY.—The department has re- ceived several valuable accessions during the year by purchase and gift, noteworthy among which is a collection from the prehistoric pueblo ruins of Socorro, New Mexico, the gift of Mrs. Constance S. Mead and family. Five funeral urns from Oaxaca, presented by Mrs. Robert W. De Forest, form an important addition to our exhibit of Zapotecan ceramics. We acquired 366 specimens by the purchase of the Bauer col- lection, chiefly illustrative of the Matlaltzincan culture, which was not represented in the Mexican collections. The purchase of a large collection of shell implements from the Barbados materially added to our West Indian collection. From the Department of Preparation and Installation we received casts of models of the earthwork known as Fort 22 Report of the President. Ancient and the Serpent Mound in Ohio; also of the Cahokia Mound in Illinois, the largest prehistoric mound in the United States. This model was based ona clay one made for us by Mr. David I. Bushnell, Jr. A model of two effigy mounds, representing animals in Wisconsin was also constructed. The department has begun arrangements with museums and private collectors to obtain the loan of important speci- mens for the purpose of making casts to fill in certain gaps in the Museum collections, and also to be used in connection with the publications resulting from our own expeditions to the North Pacific coast. The Museum has received such loan material from the Peabody Academy of Sciences, Salem, Mass. ; the Oregon Historical Society, Portland; and Mr. C. P. Wilcomb, of San Francisco. Casts of these specimens have been made by the Department of Preparation and Installation. The department has also begun the work of making casts from some of the noteworthy objects of ancient art from Mexico and Central America for exchange with other museums for casts of rare material of a like character. A set has been sent to the United States National Museum, which was exhibited at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis. Arrangements have recently been made for an exchange of casts with the Berlin Ethnographical Museum. The specimens received during the year have been cata- logued, and many labels, maps and drawings have been pre- pared and placed with the collections on exhibition. Certain rearrangements in the Mexican Hall have been undertaken, and the West Indian collections have been removed to the South American Hall. A synoptic collection was brought together and loaned to Teachers College. This was made up so far as possible from duplicate material. A second collection was selected, labeled and loaned to the Ethical Culture School. This has been returned and is about to be installed as an exhibit for school children. The following publications have been issued by the department: Report of the President. 23 M. H. Saville. ‘‘ Funeral Urns from Oaxaca.” (Museum Journal, Vol. IV, pp. 49-60, July.) Ad. F. Bandelier. ‘‘On the Relative Antiquity of Ancient Peruvian Burials.” (Bulletin, Vol. XX, Art. XIX, pp. 217-226.) Harlan I. Smith. ‘‘A Costumed Human Figure from Tampico, Washington.” (Bulletin, Vol. XX, Art. XVI, pp. 195-203, May 28.) In addition to the above, Mr. Bandelier has published several papers in the American Anthropologist based on his researches in South America for the Museum. Mr. Smith has secured additional information and illustra- tions for his reports on the archeology of the Northwest, and has been preparing memoirs on the archeology of Puget Sound and the archeology of central Washington. DEPARTMENT OF ENToMOLOGY. — During the past year the rooms of the department were provided with cases for the installation of the study collection of insects. This col- lection has been entirely rearranged, and the various collec- tions, which have been kept separate heretofore, have been united so as to make a single series. The collections of North American Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and Hemiptera have been arranged and labeled, while the work on the exotic species of these families is progressing rapidly. Considerable work on the exhibition collection has also been done. The collection of galls produced by insects has been rearranged and labeled in conformity with Guide Leaflet No. 16, ‘‘On the Insect- Galls of the Vicinity of New York,” which was issued during the latter part of the year. The following collections have been placed on exhibition: Insects injurious to evergreen trees, together with many illustrations, and parts of the trees affected by the different species; clear-winged moths (Sesiidz), with food-plants and colored figures; household insects; insects affecting stored grains; local bees, wasps, etc. (Hymenoptera), and their nests; wasps’ nests from Brazil and elsewhere; and an observation hive containing a swarm of Italian honey bees. Through -the generosity of Mr. Samuel V. Hoffman, the Curator made a trip to the Black Mountains, North Carolina, in May and June. This expedition was in continuation of the 24 Report of the President. entomological survey of the Black Mountain region, which has been carried on for some years by the Curator, under grants from the late Very Reverend E. A. Hoffman. Mr. Samuel Hoffman also kindly provided the funds for the purchase of a collection of 3,600 specimens of North American and exotic moths. Messrs. G. A. Goss and A. D. Dodge presented a fine col- lection of beetles from Mt. Kinabalu, British North Borneo. Mr. J. Rhinelander donated a unique example of combs of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) built on the branch of a tree. A collection of butterflies and moths from Sredne-Kolymsk, Province of Yakutsk, Siberia, and a number of interesting wasps’ nests from Brazil have been acquired by purchase. DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY AND CONCHOLOGY.—The Bement Collection of Minerals and the Morgan Gem Collec- tion have attracted a very large number of visitors, and have proved of increasing usefulness in extending interest in the mineral products of the United States. Extensive changes in the installment of the Gems have been planned, and the ensu- ing year will see a general expansion in respect to their posi- tion and arrangement, which is expected to improve the appearance of this popular feature of the department. A munificent gift from Mrs. Matilda W. Bruce has been received, in the form of an endowment of the Department of Mineralogy. It is an invested sum of $10,000, the interest of which is to be devoted to the purchase of mineralogical specimens, except in so far as its use in the purchase of geo- logical exhibits seems desirable. The minerals demand more room, and projects contem- plating a more complete exhibition of all the material com- posing this important collection will shortly be realized. It is to be hoped that in the development of the Museum, Economic Mineralogy will receive consideration, and that the remarkable mineral resources of the country, with at least a partial dem- onstration of their uses and treatment, will form part of the exhibits in the Museum halls. Additions by purchase and gifts are recorded in the List of Accessions. Report of the President. 25 The Shell Collections continue to increase much faster than the space allotted for their exhibition, which latter must, for some time to come, remain practically unchanged. Through the ,continued generosity of Mr. Frederick A. Constable, important additions of Japanese shells have been made. Through the gift of Mr. Albert H. Storer, over seven thousand handsome shells have been added to the collection, and through his liberal permission they may be used in any way helpful to the improvement of the cabinet as a whole. Numerous additions by gift and exchange are recorded in the List of Accessions. Considerable interest is taken by a group of students and collectors in the shell collection, and it is to be regretted that this now imposing collection cannot be assigned a hall large enough for its complete display, together with facilities for illustrating local distribution and the domestic molluscan fauna. The time of the Curator has been, apart from the effort made to finish the record of these two large collections, par- tially employed in the current lectures of the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZoOOLOGY.—During the past year considerable attention has been given to making the collections in the Synoptic Hall more attractive and com- prehensible to the public. The specimens in nearly all of the alcoves have been provided with permanent printed labels. Dr. Dahlgren with his assistants has made some very fine models of various invertebrates, among which the models of a large Synapta, several species of moss-animals (Polyzoa), a giant Japanese Hydroid (Lranchiocerianthus) and a huge Australian. sea-anemone (Zéscosoma) are especially note- worthy. During May and June Professor Wheeler accompanied Mr. Chapman on his expedition to the Florida Keys and the Ba- hamas. Dr. Dahlgren joined the party during the latter month. A considerable number of corals, sea-fans, insects, myriopods, mollusks, etc., were collected on Andros and New Providence Islands. Dr. Dahlgren secured material for a 26 Report of the President. group to illustrate the habits of the land-crabs of the West Indies, the accessories and one specimen for a group of Iguanas, besides color-sketches of corals, mollusks, sea-fans, etc., to be used in constructing a coral reef in the Museum. Many of these drawings have been of great value in making models of some of the larger West Indian mollusks for the synoptic collections. Some of the material collected will be of use in supplying specimens to the New York City schools. There is also a good deal of new and undescribed material among the Bahaman insects and myriopods. Among the numerous acquisitions to the Department dur- ing the past year the following deserve special mention: A large collection of marine invertebrates from Vineyard Sound, Mass., purchased from Mr. F. W. Walmesley; forty-seven species of Coelenterata acquired by exchange with the Dublin Museum, Ireland, through Dr. J. E. Duerden; the above- mentioned collection of corals, etc., made in the Bahamas by Professor Wheeler and Dr. Dahlgren; and a fine collection, comprising more than a thousand vials, of spiders from the United States, the work of the late Horace Britcher and do- nated to the Museum by the mother and the friends of the young naturalist. Several scientific papers have been published during the past year by members of the department. Dr. J. E. Duerden has published the following: ‘‘ The Antiquity of the Zoanthid Actinians,” ‘‘Recent Results on the Morphology and Develop- ment of Coral Polyps,” ‘‘ The Morphology of the Madrepo- raria V. Septal Sequence,” ‘‘The Coral Svderastrea radians and its Postlarval Development.” The following have been published by Professor Wheeler: ‘‘ Three New Genera of In- quiline Ants from Utah and Colorado,” ‘‘ The Obligations of the Student of Animal Behavior,” ‘‘ A Crustacean-eating Ant,” ‘““The American Ants of the Subgenus Colobopsts,” ‘* Ants from Catalina Island, California,” ‘‘ The Ants of North Caro- lina,” ‘‘A New Type of Social Parasitism among Ants,” ‘‘The Phylogeny of the Termites,” etc. Especially valuable and important has been the work ac- complished by Assistant Curator Sherwood in developing and Report of the President. ry | deepening the interest of the teachers and pupils of the New York schools in the collections of the Museum and the wide range of subjects which they represent. With the opening of the public schools in the fall of the past year the Museum was prepared to loan the small sets of natural history specimens mentioned in the Annual Report for the year 1903. Soon after registration was completed applications from the teach- ers began to come in for the use of the collections. Few of the schools which had formerly used the collections applied, and later it was learned that, through some misunderstanding, it was thought that the Museum would send the collections without application. An announcement, giving the conditions on which the collections would be loaned, was prepared and sent to all the Manhattan schools. There was an immediate demand for the collections, and by the end of December one hundred and twenty sets were in use in the city. During the fall these have been studied by 40,000 children. To meet the needs of the schools twenty sets of common woods have been prepared. The birds prove to be the most popular with the children, the insects coming next, then the minerals and woods. In fact, the requests for birds and insects are so numerous that it will be necessary to procure additional sets as soon as possible. The circulating collections have now been in use for a year and during that time have been studied by more than 250,000 children. During October, November and December members of the scientific staff gave a series of informal lectures for school- children. The course was arranged at the request of the New York City Teachers’ Association, and the subjects were selected by the Committee on Children’s Interests of the Association, with the purpose of supplementing the regular school work as outlined in the syllabus issued by the Board of Education. The hour selected—Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons at four o’clock—permitted pupils to attend in classes accompanied by their teachers. There were twelve lectures, each of which was delivered three times. A circular was prepared, announcing the lectures and the conditions on which seats would be reserved. These circulars, together 28 Report of the President. with coupons for making applications for the reservation of seats, were sent to all the public schools of Greater New York. At first it was thought that one of the small assembly rooms in the Museum would accommodate all that would attend, but as soon as the announcements had been generally distributed, this hall proved to be entirely inadequate, and the lectures were adjourned to the large auditorium, which seats 1428. Again and again every seat in this hall has been taken, and occasionally a special lecture had to be given in the small assembly room for those who could not gain admission to the regular lecture. Frequently several hundred applications were received after all the seats in the hall had been reserved, and the better to meet the demands of these pupils certain of the lectures were repeated Tuesdays and Thursdays. From twenty to thirty schools were represented at each lecture by classes of from ten to two hundred pupils each. ‘There can be no doubt of the popularity of these lectures, as the attend- ance from October 3 to December 23 was 25,000. The Department of Invertebrate Zoédlogy has received from the Department of Preparation and Installation, during the years 1903 and 1904, the following models of marine animals for exhibition in the Synoptic Hall of the Museum: 29 models of Protozoa (Lobosa, Foraminifera, Radiolaria and Infusoria); 13 Hydroids; 1 Actinarian; 19 Planarians; 11 Nemerteans; 8 Polyzoans; 2 Holothurians; to Mollusks. The Department of Preparation and Installation has also mounted several crustaceans, sponges and insects for the ‘synoptic collection. DEPARTMENT OF PHysioLoGy.—The equipment of a small laboratory was begun in July. Much time has been spent in studying methods by which the soft structures of animals could be satisfactorily prepared for Museum demonstration. The older methods of preservation in various fluids have long been unsatisfactory, yet it has been impossible to make credit- able preparations in a dry form. ‘To this end a mode of arti- ficial petrification has been used, which thus far has given good results. It is excellently shown in a preparation of the Report of the President. 29 stomach of a young deer. The entire organ has preserved its natural shape; the characteristic glandular tissue of the rumen is evident; the cellular tissue of the reticulum is distinct; the muscular layers of the psalterium are readily dis- tinguished, and the blood vessels have retained their natural color. A modification of the same method has been extended to the preparation of osteological sections. The specimens are in every way clean and attractive, showing the structure of the bone and the joint with clearness. Dr. C. W. F. Muenchehofe has begun a series of corrosion preparations of the liver and kidney, which are already prom- ising excellent results. He has also instituted a tentative- bacteriological demonstration showing the typical growth of. many chromogenic, pathogenic and useful bacteria, which, when completed, will make an instructive display. Acknowledgments should here be extended to the Director of the Aquarium, the Director of the New York Zodlogical Society and the Director of the Central Park Menagerie, for many courtesies received. DEPARTMENT OF PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION.—The Department of Preparation and Installation was established at the beginning of the year 1903 for the purpose of codrdi- nating some of the more or less similar classes of preparatory work required by the various departments of the Museum and up to that time performed by each of them separately. The function of the new department thus became the preparation of various material for the respective study collections and particularly for purposes of exhibition. Besides this, its primary object, there has been developed in the department, under Dr. B. E. Dahlgren, a line of Museum work not heretofore seriously attempted in this country—the preparation of biological models. During the short time of its progress this work has been carried on along such lines as the needs of the synoptic zoédlogical exhibit required, and a considerable number of forms have been modeled as follows: 30 Report of the President. t. Models have been made of microscopic forms, espe- cially the Protozoa, many of them enlarged 500-800 diameters, of minute Hydroids, of Planarians, and Polyzoa. 2. Series of models showing consecutive stages in the development of different forms, as the development of a coral polyp. These series in each case embody the results of the researches of investigators of the particular subject with which they deal, and are prepared under their supervision. In exchange for duplicates, material has thus been obtained from Prof. J.-S, Kingsley, Prof. C. Judson Herrick, Pram Charles A. Bardeen, and their codperation secured. 3. Models have been prepared, showing the structure or anatomy of some of the more complicated invertebrates, such as the clam and oyster. 4. Models have also been made of a number of inverte- brate forms which, because of their perishable nature, are impossible of satisfactory preservation. ‘The sea anemones and holothurians are good examples. The specimens of birds and mammals received by the Museum during the year have been cared for, and from this material skins and skeletons prepared for the study collec- tions. Some thirty mammals and over one hundred and seventy-five birds have been mounted. A group of Alaska Brown Bears, a group of Peccaries and a group of Roosevelt Elk are under way. The material for the Elk group has been collected during the year; also, among other things, skins and accessories for a group of Beavers. Several Reptile groups are under way, and a group of Land Crabs from the Bahamas has been collected and prepared. A number of small bird groups have been constructed from material collected by Mr. Chapman. Also two large groups of birds—one representing the bird-life of an irri-. gated area of the San Joaquin Valley, the other a Flamingo colony. Experiments toward the establishment of satisfactory meth-- ods of procedure in the mounting of mammals, reptiles, etc., Report of the President. ee! have been carried on during the actual progress of the work, and some satisfactory results have been reached. The current work of preparing maps, labels, and lettering has been performed by the department; also the general work in photography for the Museum. Some relief maps have been modeled and the large Ant- arctic charts now in the foyer have been made. A large number of piece moulds, casts, etc., have been made for various departments, as noted under the departments to which they belong. DEPARTMENT OF BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS.—During the past year the special work has been the cataloguing of the Library, which was necessitated by the adoption of a new and more scientific method of classification; as a result 32,872 volumes have been catalogued with both subject and author index. -This work has been under the direct supervision of Miss I. R. Hood. The accessions for the year amounted to 2,931 volumes and 3,103 pamphlets; among which are many valuable serials as well as the more important new books which have appeared during the year. Of special interest has been the gift of the private library of Professor H. C. Bumpus and also the gift of the elephant folio edition of Audubon’s ‘‘ Birds of America,” by Mr. Archi- bald Rogers. Mr. John R. Livermore has givena painting of the White-throated Sparrow, bearing the signature of J. J. Audubon. Prof. Wheeler has presented to the Museum his collections of books and pamphlets on Arachnida, and the Museum has acquired by purchase his library on North American Diptera. On the shelves of the Library will now be found the cur- rent numbers of all the important periodicals relating to natural history, together with the larger number of the publications of the Academies and learned Societies of the world. The book-binding department has been engaged almost entirely in the covering of separata, which have been accumu- lating for many years. 32 Report of the President. During the year 15,573 cards have been received from the Concilium Bibliographicum and intercalated in the original set. This has proved to be one of the most complete and practical bibliographies of biological subjects, and has been much used. In addition to this set the Concilium has recently deposited in the American Museum of Natural History a com- plete set of its cards” These are’for the conveniencemes American purchasers, who can thus obtain the cards at the same price as from Ziirich, but with the saving of much time. The Museum has undertaken this gratuitously for the benefit of American biologists. During the past year the Museum has sent the following letter to one hundred Institutions in selected centers: ‘“The American Museum of Natural History desires to place its publications in certain institutions where they may remain as complete sets forall time. Weare therefore asking you if the name of your library may be placed upon a list of one hundred institutions to receive the ‘Memoirs’ and ‘ Bul- letin’ of the American Museum, with the understanding, first, that these publications be sent gratis, and second, that they shall be made available for reference and study for those in your locality who may be disposed to avail themselves of the general privileges of your institution.” Replies have been received and publications sent to ninety- eight of these institutions. Following is a list of the scientific publications of the Museum issued in 1904, as received by the Curator for distri- bution and exchange: DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALASONTOLOGY.

DEPARTMENT OF Maps and CuHarts.—The work of pre- paring and classifying the Museum’s large collection of maps has been continued by Dr. Woodward. A large part of the collection is now available for use, having been placed in convenient holders, arranged by subjects, as under states, counties, etc., so as to be readily accessible. Several maps of great rarity are contained in the collection, which now ranks as fourth in importance in New York City. Much use of the collection has been made during the past year, even by per- sons outside of the Museum Staff. Important donations have been received from Gen. J. Meats de Peyster, Dr. H. C. Bumpus, Prof. H. F. Osborn, and Mr. A. F. Bandelier.

ATTENDANCE.—The number of visitors to the Museum during 1904 was 402,449—a considerable increase over that of previous years. The number of pupils from the schools, public and private, increased from 7,032 in 1903 to 42,380 in 1904, a gain of about 600 per cent. This is largely the result of the establishment of new and more intimate relations between the Museum and the Public Schools. Members of the scientific staff have been detailed to give lectures espe- cially prepared for the school children. These have been attended by fully 35,000 pupils. As stated elsewhere in this report, the Museym has kept in circulation among the schools about 140 small collections of natural history specimens, thus still further extending the educational work of the Museum among the Public Schools. The number of visitors on holidays is often so great as to tax our resources for their management and accommodation. The attendance at the meetings of the scientific societies held in the Museum has been over 1700; at public lectures, about 44,000, besides the 35,000 present at lectures given to school children. ASSOCIATED SOCIETIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.—As already noted on an earlier page of this report, two small assembly rooms were fitted up early in the year for the use of the scientific societies which have sought affiliations with the Museum, and also for use as small lecture halls. The follow- ing societies and classes have shared the hospitality of the Museum during the past year: New York Academy of Sciences. New York Entomological Society. Linnzean Society of New York. New York Mineralogical Club. West Side Natural History Society. American Ethnological Society. Sequoya League. Audubon Society of the State of New York. Eighth International Geographic Congress. Dr. J. E. Peabody’s class in Zoélogy. Dr. Clark Wissler’s class in Anthropology. Mr. Julius M. Johnson’s class in Nature Study. Report of the President. 37 TRANSPORTATION.—As heretofore we have been greatly assisted in our field work by the liberality of various railways and transportation companies through the granting of passes to curators and their assistants, in reaching and returning from their distant fields of exploration, and reduced rates of transportation for their collection, without which generous aid extensive field work would be impossible. The list of railways and transportation companies to whom we have been indebted during the past year is as follows: Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Railway. Mexican Central Railway. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. Mexican National Railway. Chicago & Northwestern Railway. Northern Pacific Railway. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway. Southern Railway. Canadian Pacific Railway. Southern Pacific Company. Canadian Northern Railway. St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad. Erie Railroad. Union Pacific Railroad. Great Northern Railway. Wabash Railroad.

The entire room has been assigned to gems and to the more striking minerals. Large showy specimens have been placed in the wall cases in such a way as to bring out their beauty to the best advantage. Appro- priate labels are being prepared, and in a few weeks the installation will have been completed. Again we are indebted to Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan for his generosity in adding nearly two hundred specimens to this already priceless collection. The income from the Bruce Fund has made possible the purchase of a number of desirable minerals, among which may be mentioned twenty-eight specimens of amber and a jade labret of remarkable character. One of the notable acquisitions during the year was a very large number of miscellaneous shells from the Philippine {[slands, which formed part of the Philippine exhibit at St. Louis secured by the Museum. With the aid of these shells, many lacunz in the collection have been filled. DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZoOLoGy.—During the early part of the year a card catalogue of the fishes was taken up and the study collections cleaned and carefully rearranged. Report of the President. 23 Considerable work has been done in the Synoptic Hall, which is now also used as temporary quarters for the mounted collection of reptiles and batrachians. Groups of the follow- ing forms have been mounted and placed in this hall: Land- crabs of the Bahamas, Copperhead Snakes, Mexican Iguana, Mexican Heloderma, and Texas Rattlesnakes. Two collec- tions representing the local reptiles and amphibians have also been installed. These latter were brought together to illus- trate two guide leaflets, written by R. L. Ditmars, of the New York ZoGlogical Park, and published by the Museum. Dr. Dahlgren and Mr. Mueller have constructed twelve models of marine and fresh-water invertebrates, nearly com- pleting the series of Coelenterate types and making an impor- tant addition to the Rotiferan and Polyzoan alcoves, which hitherto have been almost empty. Descriptive labels of the new groups have been completed. Among a number of important acquisitions, special mention should be made of a fine series of Philippine corals, a mag- nificent sea-fan and two enormous Tridacna shells, all pur- chased by the Museum. During May, Dr. Wheeler, the Curator, made an expedition to New Mexico, Arizona and California for the purpose of studying the invertebrate fauna and the vegetation of the desert. The nesting habits of several interesting species were observed for the first time, and valuable photographs of nest architect- ure, characteristic desert environment, etc., were secured. The Assistant Curator, Mr. Sherwood, has given all of his time to superintending and making up the school collections and organizing and participating in the lectures to the school children at the Museum. The small nature-study collections which the Museum loans to the public schools of the City proved so useful to teachers, and the demand for them was so great, that it was found necessary to increase their number. During the summer more than 600 bird skins were purchased and mounted, and new collections of insects and woods were prepared. At the present time there are 4oo cabinets of specimens available for this work, representing birds, insects, mollusks, crabs, starfishes, worms, corals, sponges and native 24 Report of the President. woods. During the school year, ending June 30, 1905, these cabinets were in use in 200 schools and were studied by more than 375,000 children. These specimens are used by the teachers not only for pure nature-study work, but as models for drawing lessons, written and oral language work, conversation lessons, dictation exercises and in connection with reading. Continuing the work inaugurated last year, a spring and a fall course of informal lectures for school children have been delivered at the Museum by members of the scientific staff. There were thirty-six lectures in each course, a detailed list of which will be found on page 33. The lectures were given on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons and were very popular. More than 20,000 pupils attended the spring series, and fully 15,000 were present during the fall course. An unusual number of classes has visited the Museum for purposes of study, and frequently teachers have asked to have the classrooms reserved, in order that they might give their pupils special lectures. At the request of a number of teachers and principals of West Side schools, a laboratory course on birds and insects was arranged for teachers, and Mr. Jules M. Johnson, of the Morris High School, was engaged to conduct it. About 50 teachers attended. It is gratifying to report the increased use in this man- ner of the Museum’s collections, and the continued friendly relations which exist between this institution and the various branches of the school system of the City. DEPARTMENT OF PHySIOLOGY. early in the year, this department has had under its direction the care of the animals received at the Museum and the preparation of skeletons. Dr. C. W. Muenchehofe has had immediate charge of this work and has personally performed By an arrangement made most of the autopsies. More than two hundred animals have been received in the flesh, as noted in the list of accessions; sixty autopsies have been performed, and eighty-one complete skeletons and twenty- three skulls have been prepared. Report of the President. 25 The preparation of skeletons by the old process is very slow, several weeks being required to complete a single skele- ton. This method is entirely inadequate to take care of the material received. After many experiments, the department has adopted a process of digestion with trypsin in an alkaline solution, which is not only a rapid method but leaves the bones in a perfectly sweet condition as well as avoiding many of the injuries, particularly to small bones, which occur by maceration. This work is greatly hampered, however, by the lack of proper equipment and suitable quarters. Satisfactory progress has been made in the preparation of -corrosion specimens of the various organs of the animal body. A part of the room west of the Mexican Hall has been allotted to the department for exhibition purposes. A general plan of installation has been tentatively formulated, illustrat- ing the chemical constitution of man and the various functions performed by the different organs of the body. Some of the material for this exhibit is well under way. Dr. George W. Crary, a well-known specialist of this City, has given to the department the benefit of his wide experience and is making a comparative histological study of the skin -of vertebrates. It is expected that from these preparations wax models can be constructed which will be valuable for Museum exhibition. We are pleased to acknowledge the many courtesies ex- tended to the Museum by the Director of the Aquarium, the Director of the New York Zodlogical Society and the Director of the Central Park Menagerie. DEPARTMENT OF PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION.—The members of this department have been fully occupied. A large number of models of invertebrates have been completed, the accessories for several bird and mammal groups have been prepared, and installations of these have been made, as noted under the various departments. The making of casts and the general photographic work for the Museum have been under the direction of this department. 26 Report of the President. During the summer the laboratories in the new power wing were completed and the equipment was transferred in Sep- tember to the new quarters. These rooms are commodious and well adapted to the needs of the department. Several of those working under Dr. Dahlgren were trans- ferred to Mr. J. D. Figgins, who now has general charge of the preparation of the higher animals and of plants for exhi- bition purposes, and the making of archeological models and replicas. Mr. James L. Clark has been placed in charge of the mounting of all large mammals and reptiles. DEPARTMENT OF BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS.—The ener- gies of the department have been especially devoted to cata- loguing, and this important work is now completed for the en- tire Library, with the exception of a few sections. During the year 4,948 volumes, 871 numbers, and 9,128 pamphlets have been classified and catalogued. These, added to the work previously completed, give the Library a total of 32,014 vol- umes and 16,584 pamphlets properly classified, catalogued and ready for use. The more important accessions for the year are a gift from Professor J. A’-Allen of 3,793 pamphlets; a* oift fromebr William M. Wheeler of many articles on entomology; a gift from Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan of seven volumes of plates of the fishes from the island of Mauritius; a purchase of 700 plates on Animal Locomotion by Muybridge; a gift of 218 volumes from the estate of the late George L. Hyslop; a gift from Miss A. A. Drummond of 24 volumes, and a gift from General J. Watts de Peyster of 15 volumes. During the year, 15,069 cards from the Concilium Biblio- graphicum have been received and distributed in the Concil- ium System. There has also been received on deposit one complete set of cards, to which have been added 15,069 cards during the year, according to the agreement between the American Museum and the Concilium Bibliographicum. Following is a list of the scientific publicatiens of the Museum issued in 1905, as received by the Curator for distri- bution and exchange: Report of the President. 27 DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALAEONTOLOGY.

The attendance for 1904 was 402,449, a considerable gain over that of previous years, but during 1905, 565,489 visitors were recorded, an increase of more than 25% over the figures for 1904. This growing popularity of the Museum is due in part to the opening of several striking exhibits, particularly the huge Srontosaurus, and the Flamingo and San Joaquin Valley bird groups; to the improvement of the installation of old collections, and to the continued intimate relations between the Museum and the Public Schools. More than 46,000 children have visited the Museum in classes for lectures and 30 Report of the President. purposes of study, and about 50,000 people have been present at the various public lectures. ASSOCIATED SOCIETIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.—The two small assembly rooms have been improved by changes remedy- ing, in a great measure, their defective acoustic properties, and throughout the year they have been in great demand for the meetings of various scientific societies which have sought affiliation withthe Museum. Occasionally the large auditorium has been required for the accommodation of such organizations. Early in the year the Board of Education of the City asked permission for the temporary use of one of the exhibition halls in which to install the collections illustrating the work done in the public schools, and comprising the exhibit of the Board at the St. Louis Exposition. This was desired in order that the public might become more familiar with the work that the schools are doing, and that the teachers might have an opportunity to study the methods and results of others. The East Mammal Hall was assigned for this purpose and was occupied by the school exhibit from March till August. In November the Siberian Hall was given over to the American Tuberculosis Exhibition for the display of an instructive exhibit showing the results of the dread disease and the best methods to check its spread. In connection with the exhibition eminent men delivered lectures at the Museum on various phases of this important subject. The Board of Health of the City was given permission to use one of the small assembly rooms for the temporary installation of its exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition. The following societies and classes have shared the hospi- tality of the Museum during the past year: New York Academy of Sciences. New York Entomological Society. Linnzean Society of New York. New York Mineralogical Club. Audubon Society of the State of New York. National Association of Audubon Societies for the Protection of Wild Birds and Animals. American Chemical Society. Report of the Prestdent. at Germanistic Society of America. Torrey Botanical Club. Sequoya League. American Ethnological Society. West Side Natural History Society. American Ornithologists’ Union. American Psychological Association, New York Section. American Tuberculosis Exhibition. American Society of Palzontologists. Natural Science Committee of the Associated Alumnz of the Normal College, New York City. Classes in Paleontology of Columbia University. Classes of Teachers in Nature Study, University Extension. Classes from School of Decorative and Applied Art. TRANSPORTATION.—The increase of the scope of the Museum’s work necessitates extended explorations. These explorations are too often limited in their results, especially in distant fields, because of the difficulties of transporting the material secured. The generous aid, however, of various railways in granting passes to our curators and assistants to and from their distant fields of explorations and in carrying the collections at reduced rates has made possible field opera- tions which otherwise would not have been undertaken, and I wish to acknowledge our indebtedness to these companies. The following have extended many courtesies to us during the past year: Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Canadian Northern Railway. Canadian Pacific Railway. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. Chicago & Northwestern Railway. Erie Railroad. Great Northern Railway. Northern Pacific Railway. Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company. Oregon Short Line Railroad. Pennsylvania Railroad. Southern Pacific Company. Union Pacific Railroad. Wabash Railroad. 32 Report of the President. LrecTuRES.—Several lecture courses have been delivered during the year. These include (1) a spring and a fall course to Members of the Museum, (2) a public course given on holidays, (3) a course given in conjunction with Columbia University, (4) a spring and a fall course to pupils of the public schools, (5) a nature study course to teachers, (6) a course under the auspices of the Board of Education of the City of New York, in codperation with the Museum.

In concluding this my quarter of a century of service as the President of the American Museum of Natural History, I cannot refrain from referring to the Report of twenty-five years ago, when the Trustees stated that ‘‘they most re- spectfully appeal to the generous citizens of New York, to aid in the effort to make our Metropolitan City the centre of the highest scientific culture in our land, and to join in adding new collections and new departments to the admirable nucleus which has been already secured.’’ As your President it has been my constant effort to fulfil the desires as expressed by the Report of the President. 37 Trustees which were so clearly formulated at the time of my appointment, and when we view the stately building in Man- hattan Square, when we wander through the exhibition halls and study the priceless collections therein displayed, when we realize that thousands of the people of our City are assembling here to listen to prominent educators, that school children are here receiving their first love for nature and their first taste of science, and that the influence of this institution is being felt throughout the civilized world, truly we can say that the appeal of 1881 to the generous citizens of New York has not remained unanswered. Very respectfully yours, Morris K. Jesup, President. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. PERMANENT ENDOWMENT.
