NYALSVA MAN AOA NOISAM AUVNIWITAY FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT To the Trustees and Members of The American Museum of Natural History, and to the Municipal Authorities of the City of New York: The President has the honor to submit herewith his fifth annual report on the general development of the Museum. The internal progress during the year 1g11 is outlined in the included reports by the Director and the Curators and Officers in charge, together with recommendations relating to various departments. The chief aim of the administration has been to enhance the educational influence of our exhibition halls through rearrangement of the collections along the lines of the General Plan* published in 1910, through labeling, through the issuing of a General Guide and especially through care of the interests of teachers and pupils of the public schools. Increased atten- tion also has been given to the proper publication of the work of the Museum in the newspapers, which have shown intelli- gent and helpful response; full and accurate press reports of our work are now among the chief agencies of the spread of science in the City. It is chiefly due to these educational efforts that the attend- ance at the Museum has increased within the year by 100,000; that the attendance at lectures has risen to nearly 90,000; that the number of pupils visiting the Museum for study and attendance at lectures has increased to 34,054, and that the number of pupils studying the circulating collections has increased by over 300,000, reaching the unprecedented total of 1,253,435. Public approval of the Museum’s work is shown also by the enrolment of 347 new Members, the total membership now being 2,652. The scientific and research{side of the Museum's work, which underlies and gives life and novelty to the popular edu- * History, Plan and Scope 0f The American Museum of Natural History, submitted at the Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees, February 14,1910, adopted by the Board on May 8, 191I. - 15 16 Report of the President cational side, has been equally advanced through an unusually large number of expeditions in the field, forty-four all together, engaged in exploration in every continent except Australia, and bringing back collections and photographs of rare value, which cannot be secured in any other way. The Museum Journal, issued from October to May, has kept our Members and the public fully informed of this most interesting feature of the Museum’s activities. FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY On April 6, 1919, or seven years hence, the Museum will celebrate the close of the first half-century of its chartered existence. As the oldest institution of its kind in the City of New York, it has furnished the precedent on which the other institutions were established, and it seems eminently fitting that the occasion should be celebrated by the completion and opening of the southern half of the great building projected in 1871. On May 8, rg11, the Board of Trustees unanimously recommended to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment that the southern half of the Museum, surrounding the two south courts, be completed in 1919 in time to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of the Museum. The resolution was as follows: Resolved, That the Trustees hereby adopt the general features of the ground plan for the extension of the Museum, as recommended in the President’s Plan and Scope Report, as approved by the Build- ings and Plans Committee of 1g10 and as presented by the Buildings and Plans Committee of rortt. Resolved, Vhat the Executive Committee is hereby empowered to present this ground plan to the Board of Estimate and Apportion- ment at their coming meeting as expressing the judgment of the Trustees as to the wisest development of the Museum building during the next decade. That the Trustees recommend to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment the construction of the building surrounding the two south courts, namely : 1. Southeast Wing and Court 3. West Transept, Building of the East 4. East Transept, Facade, 5. East Facade Entrance, 2. West Facade Entrance, 6. Central Rotunda, in time to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of the Museum in 1919, by the opening of the East Facade Entrance. That the Trustees recommend the immediate erection of the Southeast Wing and Southeast Court Building. — a) ee Report of the President 17 This construction will involve: First. The completion in 1gt1-12 of the Southeast Wing and Court Building, the plans of which have been adopted by the City ; Second. The completion in 1912-15 of the east and west central sections of the Museum, including entrances on Central Park and Columbus Avenue at the foot of West Seventy-ninth Street. On May 22, the President appeared on behalf of the Trustees before the Budget Sub-Committee (Messrs. Prendergast, McAneny and Mitchel) of the Board of Estimate and Apportion- ment, and presented the foregoing resolution of the Trustees, accompanied by the folder* entitled ‘‘ Growth of the Building of The American Museum of Natural History—Plans for Future Building and Arrangement of Collections,” together with a sum- mary of the financial and educational status of the Museum. The plans for future building are the result of four years’ careful consideration and study during the present administra- tion, in which the advice of experts has been constantly sought in connection both with the scientific arrangement and with the great educational plan involved. All the changes now in progress:or contemplated are made with reference to this Plan. The chief reason for the execution of these plans dur- ing the next seven years is not the mere sentimental interest, but the substantial fact that if the Museum continuesits present accelerating progress, seven years hence will find us prepared to fill the larger portion of the new building with collections covering important branches of science, such as geography, physiography, oceanography, astronomy and public health, which we cannot provide for in our present building, but which are intimately related to public education and welfare. The financial forecast of this Anniversary plan naturally requires as careful consideration as the educational and scien- tific. The Museum is already expending annually far beyond the income of its Endowment, necessitating increasing drafts upon the generosity of the Trustees and other friends of the institution. These contributions have been more notable in the past year than in any previous year of our history. The following financial summary of the operation of the Museum during the past decade furnishes a clear basis for a preliminary estimate of our future needs: * Folder issued May 8, 1911. A second and revised issue will be made in May, 1912. 18 Report of the President CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE MUSEUM AND OF THE CiTy DurRING THE DECADE Ig902-I1gII Contributions to Contributions Maintenance Permanent Building Year from Trustees Perea gone Endowment by Appropriations and Others by the City Trustees by the City and Others 1902 $108,964 71 $160,000 00 $32,208 57 $200,000 00 1903 g0,196 38 160,000 00 4,933 12 188,000 00 1904 84,210 22 160,000 00 569,765, 390) eee 1905 85,387 30 160,000 00 I,000 00 500,000 00 1906 132,718 10 E7O;000 00 © bine w sister es 2 1907 125,858 16 160,000 00 33,799 25 - | | eeeeeeeeee 1908 159,705 52 159,930 62 1,000,000) 00) | |) aeeeeeeae 1909 176,008 04 179,999 60 12,000 00 100,000 00 IgIO 196,634 00 185,757 00 132,000 00) 7) eeeeeeeeee IgII 218,713 65 189,757 00 26,070 37 275,000 00 $1,378,396 08 $1,685,444 22 $1,811,772 70 $1,263,000 00 As shown in detail in the above table, the Trustees have more than fulfilled the spirit of the obligations of the Charter of 1869, having contributed for all purposes during the past ten years $3,190,168.78, an excess of $241,724.56 over the contributions of the City, which reach a total of $2,948,444.22. It is apparent from these figures that the annual contribu- tions by the Museum, amounting in 1911 to $218,713.65, should be compared with the annual Maintenance appropriations by the City, amounting in the same year to $189,757. In general the contributions to the Permanent Endowment should balance the City appropriations for building. The inference is that our Endowment Fund should now equal the total amount which the City has spent for building, namely, about $5,000,000; and the growth of our Endowment Fund should keep in advance of the growth of the building, as it has done during the past decade. The appropriation for Maintenance for the year 1912 is $195,000, which still leaves a deficiency of about Bo, 971 to be covered by Museum Funds. The preliminary estimate is that, to provide for ie enlarged Museum of rg1g, the total income of the Museum from Endowment, annual gifts, membership and City Maintenance should be nearly double what it is at present, and that the chief source of future income should be a largely increased Endow- ment Fund, such as that enjoyed by our sister institutions the Field Museum in Chicago and the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh.

This sketch, which will be followed in time by a more serious architectural study, retains the main lines of the South Fagade, but is a marked step in the direction of greater simplicity of design. It is proposed that the central entrance on the Park shall be approached by a new driveway and that the section shall contain an architecturally imposing interior on the second floor appropriate for a building of such vast proportions as the American Museum is destined to be. This entrance will be essentially the Zodlogical Entrance of the Museum, empha- sized by the African and Asiatic Halls which will open out from it; whereas, the entrance on the west side, at the foot of Seventy-ninth Street, will be the Anthropological Entrance, as indicated by the monumental architecture of Mexico and Cen- tral America, which will be rearranged in the Entrance Hall. Interior plans for the transepts connecting these eastern and western entrances are now being very carefully studied. In response to the recommendation of the Trustees of May 8, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment appropriated on July 17 the sum of $200,000 for the excavation and foun- dation of the new Southeast Wing and Court Building, and it is understood that this will be followed by an appropriation of $550,000 for the erection of these buildings. At the same time an appropriation of $75,000 was made for the equipment of the existing building. FUTURE EXHIBITION HALLS The future building, approved by the Trustees on May 8, provides for a large number of exhibition halls for branches of natural history new to the Museum. Among these the Museum is now actively engaged in preparing for the following: GEOGRAPHIC HALL, East Wing, First Floor AFRICAN HALL, East Wing, Second Floor OCEANOGRAPHIC HALL, Southeast Wing, First Floor WHALE COURT, Southeast Court, First Floor ICHTHYOLOGY HALL, Southeast Wing, Second Floor *Messrs. Pyne, Warburg, Grant and the President ex-officio. Report of the President 21 GEOGRAPHIC HaLL.—For many years the Museum has been carrying on independent explorations, especially in boreal and arctic regions, in which geography has been an important feature. It is now proposed to codperate with the American Geographical Society in all such work, referring all purely geographical results to the Society and all zoélogical and other natural history results to the Museum, with a corre- sponding division of expenditures. The American Geographical Society has entered on a new period of activity through the generosity of Mr. Archer M. Huntington, and plans for impor- tant codperative work in the year 1912 are now under consid- eration. For two years past, at joint expense, a large standard map of the world in low relief has been in joint preparation, which will be a great credit to the Geographical Society and of much service in the exhibition halls of the Museum. AFRICAN HAti.—Since 1907 the Museum has been carry- ing on very active exploration in Africa to secure the fast- vanishing forms of that continent before it becomes too late. All together $55,000 have been contributed by Trustees and friends for this purpose, the chief expeditions being: The Tjader Expedition, supported by Mr. Samuel Thorne. The Fayim Expedition, supported by Mr. Jesup and Professor Osborn. The Congo Expedition, under Messrs. Lang and Chapin, supported by a group of the Trustees, together with a generous contribution from the Belgian Government. The Elephant Group Expedition, under Mr. Carl E. Akeley, supported by several Trustees. Several valuable ethnological and zodlogical collections from Africa have also been purchased or are under considera- tion. The time has now arrived when the chief aim of the Museum will be the preparation and exhibition of these col- lections for the new African Hall, the architectural plans of which will be especially prepared for this purpose. OCEANOGRAPHIC Hatit.—A sudden and unexpected im- pulse was given to the proposed oceanographic work of the Museum through the generous coéperation of the United States Fish Commission in detailing the famous vessel 22 Report of the President ‘* Albatross,’ under the scientific command of Acting Director Townsend, for a cruise off the southwest coast of California during the spring months of 1911. The funds for the Museum’s participation in this important work were contrib- uted by Mr. Arthur Curtiss James. The work was in codperation with the New York Botanical Garden and the New York Zodlogical Society, and resulted in securing for the Museum a fine collection, especially of elephant seals, of deep- sea fishes and of new forms of mammal, bird and reptile life on little explored islands. WHALE CourtT.—Plans for a superb hall for the exhibition of models and skeletons of whales have been prepared under the Committee on Building and Plans by the architects. The hall will occupy the Southeast Court, leaving space so as not to interfere with the ventilation and lighting of the buildings surrounding the court. The Museum’s collection of whales, especially enriched through the donations of Mr. George S. Bowdoin, is now the first in this country and promises to be one of the most complete in existence as a result of the expeditions which are now in progress under Assistant Curator Andrews along the Atlantic coast and in the seas of Japan. The Museum is especially indebted to the Toyo Hogei Kabushiki Kaisha of Shimonoseki, Japan, for generous coéperation. Asiatic Hatit.—Through Colonel Anthony R. Kuser, a Trustee of the Zodlogical Society, an important expedition was sent to Asia and the East Indies under Curator C. William Beebe of the Zodlogical Park, which resulted in the securing of a unique collection of pheasants. It is Colonel Kuser’s intention to present the collection to the Museum for study purposes and also for exhibition in four large habitat group cases. This indirect result of codperation with the Zodlogical Society is a welcome beginning of exploration in Asia which must have for its object the securing of the great living types of that continent for the Asiatic Hall of the future, which will adjoin that of Africa. ICHTHYOLOGY Hatit.—The greatest apparent progress, so far as exhibits are concerned, has been in the Department of Ichthyology and Herpetology. Up to the present year the DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY WEAVING A CHILKAT BLANKET AT A CAMP ON A SALMON RIVER One of the Mural Panels by Will S. Taylor for the Northwest Coast Hall The blanket is being made for the man of the family who stands at the left. The young girl has stopped in the process of separating the strands of the cedar bark to be used for warp. The woman at the right has looked up from her work of spinning the wool ; § Report of the President 23 display of fishes and reptiles has been small and the speci- mens shown, with few exceptions, of indifferent quality. As a result of work of preparation for more than a year past, fishes and reptiles are now fairly well represented, and the examples shown are of great excellence, the Bullfrog Group in particular rivaling the well-known habitat bird groups in beauty and educational value. This work is being prosecuted through the annual contributions of Mr. Cleveland H. Dodge. MURAL WORK In various exhibition halls, especially in those of Anthro- pology, the need of mural painting has been felt, to supple- ment the case exhibition and sculptural models. Only an artist can represent the spirit and sentiment of the life of the various existing and extinct tribes of men, subjects that require extremely careful study and exceptional caution, lest the Museum acquire mural decorations which in time will prove to be artistically poor, and hence a detriment to the exhibition halls. What is regarded by artists as a very suc- cessful series of paintings is that in the North Pacific Hall representing the economic life of the Indians of British Colum- bia and Alaska. These paintings were executed by Mr. Will S. Taylor, under the scientific direction of Dr. Clark Wissler and Mr. Harlan I. Smith. The paintings of Mr. F. W. Stokes in the same hall are partly mythological and partly economic, representing the life of the Eskimo. Mr. Taylor is now pre- paring a new series to represent the ceremonial and religious life of the North Pacific tribes; in the preparation of his pre- liminary sketches he was fortunate in having the advice of Lieutenant George T. Emmons, whom he accompanied ona trip to the northwest coast. At the same time, Mr. Louis Akin has received a commis- sion for preliminary studies in the hall devoted to the Indians of the Southwest, including the exceptionally picturesque life and customs of the Mokis, Zunis, Navajos and other agricul- tural peoples. For the Plains Indians Hall and for the Eastern Wood- lands Hall, it is proposed to engage the services of Mr. E. W. Deming to prepare preliminary designs. 24 Report of the President For the Tertiary Hall, preliminary designs for four murals have been prepared by Mr. Charles R. Knight, under a gift from Mr. J. P. Morgan, Jr. JESUP FUND As a memorial to the late President, Mr. John J. Clancy* ordered a bronze bas-relief of Mr. Jesup from the sculptor Mr. J. E. Fraser, a pupil of Saint-Gaudens. This bronze portrait represents Mr. Jesup in the woods of his estate at Lenox and will be suitably placed in the Jesup Hall of Woods and Forestry. The publication of the Memoirs of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition has not advanced as rapidly as could be desired, and there remain two volumes and four parts of volumes to complete this great series. Professor Franz Boas of Columbia University, the editor, has promised to resume his work on the manuscript, and Dr. Waldemar Jochelson is pursuing his work on the Yukaghir. When complete this monumental series will include twelve volumes. The income of the Jesup Fund, now amounting to $50,986, has been devoted during the year to the following purposes, according to the terms of the late President’s bequest: To the purchase of specimens and collections for practically all the departments of the Museum, which include Geological Specimens Mammals and Birds Hollister Navajo Blanket Collection Emmons Tsimshian Collection Benedict Collection Various anthropological models for the exhibition halls To the support of field parties: To Arizona for petrified wood To Alberta, Wyoming and Texas for fossils To Alaska, Saskatchewan, Alberta, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin and New Jersey for work among the Indians To Massachusetts, Florida, Jamaica, British Guiana and Dominica for invertebrates To Woods and Forestry collection To books for the Library To the scientific publications of the Museum. * Decdased November 18, rorr. ee Report of the President 25 FOREIGN MUSEUMS Our relations are becoming more cordial with the Museums of the Continent and with those of South America in each suc- ceeding year. There is a vast amount of material which we may offer in exchange, and in return secure valuable collec- tions that are not represented at present. Among the chief institutions from which exchanges are in active progress are the following: Australian Museum..............-. Sydney, New South Wales British Museum (Natural History). ..London, England Canadian Geological Survey ........ Ottawa, Canada Fuknaka University of Japan....... Tokio, Japan Museum fiir Vélkerkunde........... Berlin, Germany Natural History Museum........... Basel, Switzerland Natural History Museum........... Vienna, Austria Royal Bohemian Museum........... Prag, Bohemia Senckenberg Museum.............. Frankfurt, Germany IMPORTANT GIFTS In the new Members’ Room are now hung the following por- traits: The new portrait of Mr. Joseph H. Choate, painted and presented by the Princess Lwoff-Parlaghy; the portraits of the three past presidents of the Museum, namely, of Mr. John David Wolfe and Mr. Robert L. Stuart, painted by Daniel Huntington, and of Mr. Morris K. Jesup, painted by Eastman Johnson; the portrait of Mr. James M. Constable, painted by A. Miiller Ury. The portrait of Mr. Robert Colgate, one of the influential Founders, painted by Daniel Huntington, has recently been presented to the Museum by his family. It is especially desirable to add to this collection a copy of the portrait of Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, who was one of the lead- ing Founders of the Museum. Among the important gifts of the year are the following: The Lumholtz collection from the Papago Indians, pre- sented by Mr. Archer M. Huntington; a painted buffalo-hide tipi, by Mrs. E. H. Harriman; a collection of baskets from the South Sea Islands, by Dr. James Douglas; an archzologi- cal collection of gold objects from Ecuador, presented by Mr. D. C. Stapleton; African collections, by Dr. William S. Rainsford; models of extinct South American animals, by 26 Report of the President Mr. Carl Hagenbeck; oil paintings of the transhipment of the Peary Meteorites, by Mr. Albert Operti; twenty thousand educational lantern slides by Professor and Mrs. Albert S. Bickmore. Other valuable gifts are acknowledged on pages 94 to 123. The total accessions of the year number 836; estimated value $75,000. To the Library are added four thousand volumes on Anthro- pology, natural history and travels, containing many rarities, the gift of Professor and Mrs. Albert S. Bickmore; also rare Classical works on natural history are presented by Mr. Anson W. Hard. ORGANIZATION, STAFF Owing to the increased complexity of the scientific and business affairs of the Museum, it appeared desirable toward the close of the year 1910 to review the organization of the institution thoroughly and to consider such alterations as might seem advisable to the President and Trustees both in executive and financial administration. A Committee, headed by Mr. Seth Low, made a very careful study of the internal administration, while the Finance Committee, headed by Mr. J. P. Morgan, Jr., reviewed the financial methods of the Museum. A third Committee on Revision of the Constitution and By-Laws, Rules and Regulations, headed by Mr. Joseph H. Choate, put into legal form the various recommendations of the two committees first named. This revised form of our statutes was presented to the Board of Trustees on November 13, and will be submitted for final adoption at the Annual Meeting, February 5, 1912. The duties of the Director, Assistant Secretary and of the new officers, Bursar, Registrar, Superintendent of Building and Chief of Construction, are carefully re-defined, with the result that the business of the Museum is now being transacted with rapidity and with a thorough understanding by the officers of the various departments as to their respective duties and responsibilities. In connection with this reorganization, Professor Hermon C. Bumpus, who had served the Museum since Igor as a Report of the President 27 Director, resigned to accept a post in the University of Wis- consin. From January 1 to Juners Dr. Charles H. Townsend, Director of the New York Aquarium, was released from his duties by the Zodlogical Society and served the Museum as Acting Director. In May, Dr. Frederic A. Lucas, Curator- in-Chief of the Brooklyn Institute Museum, was invited to assume the Directorship of the American Museum and took office June 15, t911. Dr. Lucas’s long experience in Ward’s Natural Science Establishment, in the United States National Museum and as Curator-in-Chief of the Brooklyn Institute Museum eminently qualified him for the office. In order to relieve the Director of certain business details, the responsi- bilities of the Assistant Secretary, Mr. George H. Sherwood, were increased; Mr. Frederick H. Smyth was appointed to the new position of Bursar, and Mr. George N. Pindar to that of Registrar. Mr. J. B. Foulke was appointed Superintendent of Building, in all matters relating to operation, and Mr. H. F. Beers was made Chief of Construction, in charge of all matters relating to repairs, alterations and construction. The following promotions have been made in the Scientific Staff during the year: Department of Mammalogy and Ornithology : Mr. Roy C. Andrews, from Assistant in Mammalogy to Assistant Curator of Mammalogy, February 13, IgITI. Mr. W. DeW. Miller, from Assistant in Ornithology to Assistant Curator of Ornithology, February 13, Igt1.

Department of Geology and Invertebrate Palzontology : Mr. George Borup, appointed Assistant Curator of Geology, December 20, IgII. We regret to record the resignation of Associate Curator Harlan I. Smith, to take a post in the Ottawa Museum. Mr. Smith has been in charge of the archzological work of the Department of Anthropology since 1895. I. GENERAL ADMINISTRATION FREDERIC A. LucAs, Director CHANGES IN BuILDING.—The most comprehensive and important work of the year has been the completion and occupation of the new administrative offices in the south central section. This concentrates and centralizes the ad- ministrative force, while the offices vacated have been altered for the concentration and better accommodation of the staff of the Departments of Vertebrate Paleontology and of Ichthy- ology and Herpetology as well as for the installation of the Osborn Library of Vertebrate Paleontology. This last has yet to be done, but the other changes, save minor details, have been made. The only matter of regret in this connection is that, owing to the changes made during the past two years, the Library is not quite so accessible to the public as formerly. It is believed, however, that real students will come as formerly, while the needs of the public will be largely met by the read- ing room on the second floor, which, it is hoped, may act also as a ‘‘feeder”’ for the Library. Report of the President 29 The Members’ Room, mentioned in the Report for 1910, has been finished, furnished and opened; it provides a place where Members and their friends may rest, write letters and consult the publications of the Museum. The office formerly occupied by the Curator of the Depart- ment of Mineralogy has been taken fora plan room, for the keeping of the ever accumulating plans of the building and of its various subdivisions. Adjoining this a room has been pro- vided for a draftsman and for the telephone office. The present telephone equipment calls for the use of all the wires in the original cable, and arrangements have been made for a new cable which will carry sufficient wires to accommodate the telephone service for many years to come. New EXuHIsiTions.—Many new and important pieces have been added to the exhibits of the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology, and the very interesting and instructive series illustrating stages in the evolution of the horse has been extended and rearranged. The growth of this exhibit, which is steadily assuming more and more importance, and now includes examples of modern horses, raises the question whether it may not be well to provide a small special hall for its display in some future section of the building. Changes and improvements have been made in almost every exhibition hall, and the principal of them will be found noted in the reports of the various departments. Among the most important is the removal of the groups of New York mam- mals to the Hall of North American Mammals, where they are displayed to much better advantage than formerly. The greatest gain, however, is to be found in the fact that this change provides room for the exhibits of the Departments of Public Health and of Anatomy and Physiology. The first mentioned of these has never had a local habitation and a home, while the exhibits of the latter department were with- drawn ‘‘temporarily’’ some time ago to make room for other things. Among other improvements well advanced are, on the second floor, a Children’s Room, to contain exhibits es- pecially adapted to their interest and point of view, and a reading room where visitors will find books and periodicals of a general character and of popular interest. A room for the 30 Report of the President blind will be added as soon as possible to contain collections suitable for their use. Other changes in progress, or planned for, are the removal of the sections of great trees from the Darwin Hall to the Hall of Forestry, the places where they now stand to be occupied by cases to contain exhibits illustrating Variation in Nature, or Under Domestication; and the construction of cases for the more appropriate installation of the ancient Chinese objects: these, under more favorable conditions, should make a strik- ing and attractive display. New BuiLpinc PLans.—The architects have prepared plans for important alterations in the vestibule that will make it much more attractive, much more useful and vastly more fit- ting for the entrance to a great museum than it isnow. These plans provide for a visitors’ room, somewhat like that at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where visitors may arrange to meet their friends and where the various publications of the Museum, including guide-books and post-cards, may be seen, consulted and purchased. These changes and the improve- ment of the foyer, will call for the withdrawal for the time being of the astronomical exhibit, for which more ample pro- vision will be made in projected sections of the building. REGISTRATION AND CATALOGUING.—A most important piece of administrative work has been the inauguration of a new system of recording accessions, loans and exchanges, which, by the energy of Mr. Pindar, and with the hearty codperation of the departments, has put the records in most excellent and available shape for preservation and reference. To quote from the report of the Registrar: ‘‘ At the close of the year, 836 accessions have been recorded, with a total approximate valuation of $75,000, and for these acquisitions, proper accession, donor and subject card catalogues have been typewritten and placed in their proper files; many of the accessions cover many items, and of necessity numerous subject cards for the same accession have to be prepared. There have also been card-indexed nearly all the acces- sions of the Department of Anthropology from 1869-1910 inclusive, and with the completion of the accessions in this Report of the President 31 department, it is my intention to have those of the various other departments card-indexed. In this work we have now in our files nearly 5,000 completed indexed cards, and I am in hopes that, in the next six or eight months, the entire list of the acquisitions of the Museum will be completed.” The Registrar also reports that during the year his office handled 1,432 incoming and outgoing shipments, comprising 2,473 packages. It isto be regretted that at present it is not possible to provide a suitable room for the handling of ship- ments of all kinds, but this is a matter that cannot properly be arranged for until the construction of the west central sec- tion, where such an office ultimately should be located. It is also gratifying to record that, as shown by the reports of the various departments, the work of cataloguing the collec- tions has been carried on in a most satisfactory manner, this too, when, as in the case of the Departments of Mam- malogy and of Anthropology, accessions have been unusually numerous. While much has been accomplished, a vast amount remains to be done to care for the study collections and to bring the exhibits up to modern standards of installation and educational value. As a single item, 100,000 labels, at a moderate esti- mate, are needed for the proper labeling of the various collec- tions, and the writing and printing of these is a task of no small magnitude. In anticipation of this work a new printing room will be constructed as soon as possible, a new press has been ordered and another assistant will be engaged as soon as this is available. The present equipment is quite inadequate for the needs of the Museum, while the printing of the many documents, circulars and cards absolutely necessary for the proper carrying on of various branches of the work of the Museum make great demands upon the present printing force. It will seem scarcely credible to the present generation that, thirty years ago, there was practically not a group of animals nor a descriptive label in any museum in the United States, but such is the case. It is amusing to the present generation to think that, in 1880, Dr. Coues expressed his belief that few mammals remained to be discovered in North 32 Report of the President America, while since then the number of known species has ~ quadrupled. At the same time it is appalling to think of the many species that have been brought to the verge of. ex- tinction, and that within our lifetime the bison has been all but exterminated and the passenger pigeon blotted out of existence, in spite of the fact that one was probably the most abundant mammal and the other the most abundant bird in the world. The care of the collections of all kinds calls for large num- bers of storage cases, drawers, cans, shelving and jars, to preserve specimens and make them available for study and exhibition. FreLp Work, EXPLORATION.—Realizing the rapidity with which not only animals, but races of mankind with their beliefs and customs, are being swept out of existence by what we are pleased to call the march of civilization, special effort has been made of late years to gather objects and information while they are yet to be had. This has resulted in the accumulation of much material which must be cared for. At the same time the growing appreciation of the educational value of museums, through their exhibits, has called for increasing attention to their preparation and labeling. Thus the work of museums has increased in all directions, and much more rapidly than the funds for their support. The year has been noteworthy for the amount of field work accomplished, forty-four parties having been sent out directly by the Museum, while at seven localities work has been carried on for the Museum by local collectors or agents. Mr. Akeley, on account of ill heaJth, returned from Africa, but hopes to go back once more, for, while he secured material for a fine group of elephants, he did not, as he wished, obtain one of the few remaining old tuskers. It is Mr. Akeley’s belief that within five years nota single first-class bull elephant will be left in Africa. The Congo Expedition is still in the field, and, at last accounts, has secured some 8,000 specimens of various kinds, including the Okapi and White Rhinoceros.

This has been in good demand by visitors, as have also various Guide Leaflets, particularly the attractive guide to the Forestry Hall, published early in the year. A number of the Leaflets most often called for is out of print, but new and revised editions are in course of preparation. The sale of such publications has been perceptibly in- creased by having them sold by attendants as well as at the door. Incidentally it may be said that the post cards, from subjects selected by Dr. Townsend while Acting Director, have been in good demand, over 5,000 having been sold during the short time that they have been available.

Since 1909 there has been a great drop in the attendance at all Museums and similar institutions in New York, this Museum and the Children’s Museum, Brooklyn, being the only institu- tions showing a substantial gain over 1g1o. In this connection, the Director wishes to express his belief that exhibitions other than of museum material, while of public interest and much educational importance, are often of more apparent than real value to the Museum. They add tempo- rarily to the attendance, but they are apt to interfere with the regular work of the Museum, to divert attention from its real objects and to delay the preparation of its exhibits. HospPITALITY TO SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES. — As usual the Museum has been, as noted below, the meeting place of various scientific and educational societies. These have been: American Bison Society American Ethnological Society American Nature Study Society, New York Branch American Psychological Association, New York Branch American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society Aquarium Society Association of Collegiate Alumnz Audubon Society of the State of New York Horticultural Society of New York Linnzan Society of New York Metropolitan Sewerage Commission Mount Holyoke Alumnz Association National Academy of Sciences. Reception National Association of Audubon Societies for the Protection of Wild Birds and Animals Natural Science Committee of the Associate Alumnz of the Normal College of the City of New York New York Academy of Sciences New York Association of Biology Teachers New York Entomological Society New York Library Club New York Microscopical Society New York Mineralogical Club Torrey Botanical Club The exhibit of the Aquarium Society, the first of its kind, was held under various disadvantages, but attracted much interest and was visited by over 5,000 people. The annual Report of the President 35 exhibit of the Horticultural Society was one of remarkable beauty, and falling on a pleasant Sunday, was largely the reason for the visit of 25,000 people. It is pleasant to record the continued use of the lecture halls and the growing recognition of the Museum as a scien- tific center. It is to be hoped that it may be possible to make some desirable improvements that will add to the comfort and better accommodation of our guests. CARE OF THE BUILDING.—A matter of great and ever in- creasing importance is the care of the building with its acres of floor, roof and glass, and miles of steam piping and electric wiring. The first section of the Museum was erected thirty- five years ago; the last was finished in 1908. Ina climate like that of New York, subject to the extremes of heat and cold, all exterior work deteriorates rapidly and needs con- tinued care, while the interior needs constant repairs and repainting. Practically all the steam-pipes in the first section should be replaced, and such progress has been made in the matter of lighting that little of the present system is up to date and much of it is antiquated. All this is mentioned not to complain but to explain; to place before the Trustees and the City the wants of this insti- tution and to complement the words of the President regarding the need of a large endowment fund. A great museum is no longer looked upon as a luxury and for the benefit of a few individuals; it is an educational necessity, the people’s univer- sity, open to all from the youngest to the oldest. Stanford University has an endowment of about $25,000,000. It has an attendance of about 1,600 students. This Museum has an endowment of $2,367,716, and for the last five years has had an annual attendance of over half a million. It is not that friends have not been generous and the City Government liberal to the Museum, but simply that owing to circumstances our needs have outdistanced our funds. 36 Report of the President II. PROGRESS OF THE DEPARTMENTS PUBLIC EDUCATION GEORGE H. SHERWOOD, Curator DEPARTMENT OF PuBLIC EDUCATION.—Expansion has been the key-note of the work of this department during the year. While the routine work has progressed as usual, special atten- tion has been given to devising further means of acquainting teachers with the facilities that the Museum is ready to extend to them. The difficulties of transportation have deterred many teachers from making frequent use of the Museum. As an aid in this connection, in codperation with the Metropolitan Museum of Art American Geographical Society Hispanic Society of America New York Zodlogical Society New York Botanical Garden Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences New York Public Library the Museum has prepared and published in colors a map of New York City showing the free educational institutions and the main transportation lines by which they can be reached. Copies of this map have been distributed with the compliments of the subscribing institutions to all the public schools in the City, and copies have been posted in all the libraries and in other public places. The total number of maps distributed iS, 5,579: Another feature of the year’s work was the Second Annual Teachers’ Day, which was held at the Museum November rr. All the public schools were invited to send delegates, and 870 teachers assembled in the auditorium to listen to addresses by President Osborn and Director Lucas. The teachers were then invited to visit the exhibition halls and examine critically the specimens and collections. To make the examination more, practical each teacher was given a set of suggestion DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC A CLASS FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS STUDYING THE MoosE GROUP Report of the President 37 papers which were designed to call attention to the biological facts which the installation of the collections demonstrate. The exercises of the day were concluded with an informal reception in the South Sea Islands Hall and Philippine Hall. On Teachers’ Day were issued a General Guide to the Ex- hibition Halls and the November number of the Museum Journal, which was devoted to an exposition of the educational work of the Museum. Copies of each of these and of the educational map mentioned above were given to each delegate. In the preparation of the program for Teachers’ Day, the members of the department staff were assisted by the follow- ing teachers: TeRESA E. BERNHOLZ, Public School Number 9g Anna M. Crarx, New York Training School for Teachers James E. Peasopy, Morris High School Joun F. Reicart, Public School Number 166 LILLIAN BELLE SaGE, Washington Irving High School RICHARD W. SHARPE, DeWitt Clinton High School whose valuable suggestions and advice contributed in no small degree to the success of the occasion. MuseuM EXTENSION TO THE SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES.—The circulating collections continue to hold their popularity with the teachers, which is a criterion of their practical use. This branch of the work of the department has been more extensive than in any preceding year. These collections have been regularly supplied to 486 schools, or to more than three-fourths of all the public schools of the City, and the statistics furnished by the teachers show that they have been studied by 1,253,435 pupils, the largest number yet recorded by the department. The distribution and circulation of these collections have occupied the entire time of two messengers. 38 Report of the President STATISTICS RELATING TO THE CIRCULATING COLLECTIONS 1905 1906 1907 1908 1909 IgIo IgII Number of Collec- t tions in use.....

These collections have been largely ethnological, representing the culture of the Indians, Eskimo, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Africans, and have been useful in stimulating the children to read good books pertaining to these people. LECTURES TO SCHOOL CHILDREN.—Two courses of eighteen lectures each have been given to school children during the year. These lectures are fully illustrated with lantern slides and in some instances with moving pictures, and are of material assistance to teachers in their geography and history courses. The total attendance for the two series of lectures was 22,797 pupils. In this connection we wish to acknowledge the generosity of Mr. Theodore A. Price in loan- ing a moving picture film illustrating the cotton industry. Many special lectures have also been given by the instructors and members of the scientific staff, and the teachers them- selves have made extensive use of our series of lantern slides. A fund has recently been given by Mr. Henry Phipps for the purpose of supplying carfare to children who, without this aid, are unable to come to the Museum. GENERAL LEcTuURES.—In addition to the informal lectures to children, the usual general lectures have been given. These include a spring and a fall course to Members of the Report of the President 39 Museum, a series given on Tuesday and Saturday evenings, from October to May, under the auspices of the Board of Education, free lectures on public holidays, special lectures in conjunction with the New York Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies, and a course of Jesup Lectures, given under the auspices of Columbia University. The attendance at these lectures was 61,157. CHILDREN’S Room.—The Children’s Room has been re- modeled to give it greater seclusion, and several new exhibits have been added. These include a collection of dolls of all peoples and a series of interesting and bizarre fishes. The room has been open regularly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, except during August andSeptember. The attendance for the year was 3,108. The Museum participated in the Child Welfare Exhibit, held in the Seventy-first Regiment Armory, in January and February. ROOM FOR THE BLIND.—Probably no collections in the Museum give greater pleasure or are more highly appreciated than the collections examined by the blind. The difficulty experienced by the blind in reaching the Museum, combined with their natural timidity, is one reason why the attendance has not been greater. A portion of the income of the Jona- than Thorne Memorial Fund is being devoted to the prepara- tion of relief maps and models of animals to be loaned to the public schools where the blind are taught. In April the Museum participated in the Blind Workers’ Exhibit at the Metropolitan Opera House. PHOTOGRAPHY.—The photographic work has been of a routine nature. The reference file of photographs now numbers over 26,000; the file of negatives numbers over 20,000; the file of lantern slides numbers over 35,000, of which about 15,000 are colored. Mr. A. Radclyffe Dugmore has deposited in the Museum his entire series of negatives, taken in 1909, and the Museum has acquired also 535 negatives of reptiles and amphibians, 40 Report of the President taken by Mr. Raymond L. Ditmars, Curator of Reptiles, New York Zodlogical Society. It is hoped that other photographers will deposit their negatives with the Museum for permanent record. The most notable accession of the year is the Bickmore series of lantern slides. This collection comprises about 20,000 slides, of which 12,000 are colored. It was made by Professor A. S. Bickmore during his long connection with the State Department of Public Education. Professor Bickmore and his wife, Charlotte B. Bickmore, have presented these slides to the Museum. They are particularly valuable not only because of their association with the work of Professor Bick- more, but because the original negatives from which many of them were made were destroyed in the disastrous fire in the Capitol at Albany. MINERALS L. P. GRATACAP, Curator DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY.—The past year has been signalized by the removal of the entire mineral collection from the former Morgan Hall to the new hall in the West Wing, formerly occupied by the Mexican antiquities. This was ac- complished early in the year in a provisional and imperfect manner. Since then the efforts of the department have been exerted in bringing this array of material into order, inter- calating in it some 3,000 specimens, which, from deficiency in exhibition room, had been previously stored away in drawers. The systematic collection is thus quite exhaustively shown. Additions of maps (numbering almost roo), the installation of wall-case specimens, and the preparation of the large metallic cases in the center and on the sides of the main corridor, have taken up considerable time. The theory of arrangement is now: first, an attractive display of the principal minerais in large and showy specimens in the center of the hall and in the east and west wall cases, meeting the needs of the general visitor, who is assisted by large head labels; second, the in- stallation, on the sides of the hall, of the extended series of minerals intended for the student and collector, and for the g]eul ay} JO asod yale 9Y} UL UMOYS [Jam SI BIqaZ 9Y} JO AWAIQOv SNOAJOU Jeal ay, ‘9061 UI vOLIyY sea YSHg 07 Uor}pedxs uv uo ‘ry Aq pourejqo o1am dnoi8 sry} 10j suIys 94} PUL oj] WoOIJ s}UdWAINSva| “oYxYOSe[ Apes T hq poyunojw dnouy) VUIAZ AHL, ADOTIOHLINYO GNV ADOTVNWYW AO LNIWLAVdata Sur] Woqiay 3) 6d Ry Report of the President 41 more careful and observant visitors. This collection will be further codrdinated by framed lists over each section, detail- ing its contents, so that visitors can readily find the particular mineral they wish to see. Large maps, showing at a glance the mineral resources of each State, are in course of preparation. Through the gener- osity of the President and Trustees of the Nevada Consoli- dated Copper Company, the Museum is to receive a large wall painting, for the Morgan Hall of Minerals, of the ‘‘shovel-pit”’ at their enormous properties at Ely, Nevada. The painting, which is being executed by the artist Mr. Albert Operti, is nearly finished, and has already received commendation. The engineers of the Company have been most helpful in supplying information and offering suggestions. The accessions of the past year have been gratifying, and the expenditure of the revenue from the Bruce Fund has added to the collection many important and attractive specimens. Accessions claiming precedence are Benitoites and Neptunite, Beryls and Tourmalines from California, an interesting ex- change from Japan, many new and unusual minerals, with interesting examples of more representative species, and a very brilliant assemblage of cut and polished Agates from Miss Elvine Richard, of New York City. MAMMALS AND BIRDS J. A. ALLEN, Curator DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY.—The accessions in mammalogy exceed in number those of recent years, and include a number of species of very great rarity and importance. The accessions in ornithology exceed by three-fold those of any recent year and are especially impor- tant in their bearing upon the distribution and relationships of the birds of western South America. As usual, we have received during the year many mammals and birds in the flesh from the’New York Zodlogical Society and from the Central Park Menagerie. These include a num- ber of species of both birds and mammals of unusual interest. We are also indebted to Mr. C. William Beebe for a small 42 Report of the President collection of mammals from Borneo and north Burma, all of the species represented being new to our collection and several of them of special scientific importance. We are indebted to Mr. Walter Winans for a series of specimens of the Wild Boar from Germany, which have furnished the material for a group of this interesting species, now nearly completed. We are also indebted to the Honorable Theodore Roosevelt for two skins of the White Rhinoceros. We have received nothing during the year from the Museum’s Stefansson-Anderson Arctic Expedition, nor from the Congo Expedition under Messrs. Lang and Chapin, but letters from the members of these expeditions indicate that they have been very successful in their field work. Recent letters from the Congo Expedition state that the collection of mammals now numbers 2,400 specimens, and that the birds collected number over 3,200 specimens. Mr. Carriker has continued his work in northern Venezuela during the greater part of the year, and has sent to the Museum nearly 250 specimens of mammals. Through arrangements made by Mr. R. C. Andrews, during his visit to the Philippines and Japan in 1910, we have received a complete specimen, skin and skeleton, of the Tamarau from Mindoro, and a skeleton of the rare Berardius Whale from Japan. One of the great events of the year was the expedition to Lower California, under the direction of Dr. Charles ‘A. Townsend, and financed by Mr. Arthur Curtiss James. The expedition resulted in the addition of nearly 300 mammals and 800 birds collected on the lower part of the Peninsula and various adjacent islands. The mammals include four skins and skulls and two complete skeletons of adult Elephant Seals from Guadalupe Island, a species now on the verge of extinc- tion. The greatest source of new material for both mammals and birds has been the expedition organized by Mr. Chapman for the exploration of western Colombia and neighboring parts of South America. As noted in last year’s report, Mr. W. B. Richardson, who had formerly collected for the Museum in Nicaragua, was sent to western Colombia in October, 1910, Report of the President 43 and continued at work in that region until September, 1g11, when his contract expired. In March of the present year he was joined by Mr. Chapman, Mr. Louis A. Fuertes, the artist, and Mr. Leo E. Miller, and for several months the work of the whole party was carried on under the immediate direction of Mr. Chapman. He then returned to the United States by way of the Magdalena River for the purpose of making a reconnais- sance for further work in western South America. After his return Mr. Arthur A. Allen, of Cornell University, was sent to replace Mr. Richardson in the field. Explorations have been made from the Cauca Valley across the coast range to the westward along several lines, and the work has been attended with the most satisfactory results; over 3,000 birds and over 400 mammals have already been received. Recent letters from the field indicate that the total collections for the year will be over 5,000 birds and about 7oo mammals. An unusually large proportion of the species of both mammals and birds are new to the collection, and many are new to science. Arrange- ments have been made for continuing the work during rg12, when the scope of the work will be extended to other contigu- ous fields of equal interest. The Andean section is a region of highly diversified physical features, resulting in very diverse conditions of environment. Collections are being made system- atically from sea-level to the summits of the coast and main ranges, which include areas of heavy precipitation and great aridity, conditions which strongly impress themselves upon the character of the fauna. Several large mammals have been added to the exhibition series, and work is in progress on several mammal groups; the Wild Boar Group, consisting of seven specimens of this interesting species, presented by Mr. Walter Winans, is nearing completion, as is also the Mount Orizaba Life-Zone Group. The series of specimens of the Greenland Walrus, mounted a number of years ago, have been combined in a group and installed in the east section of the Mammal Hall. The local mammal groups have been removed from the west corridor on the mammal floor to the North American Mammal , Hall and reinstalled with painted backgrounds. 44 Report of the President The mammals collected by Mr. Carriker in Venezuela and part of those collected in Colombia have been identified by the Curator, and Mr. Andrews has prepared two papers on cetacean material gathered by him in Japan. Mr. Miller has continued work at available intervals from routine work on a comprehensive paper on the birds of Nicaragua, and has also prepared a monographic revision of a genus of kingfishers. Mr. Chapman has made provisional identification of the birds received from Colombia preparatory to describing the many new forms that the collection contains. Six papers have been published during the year representing this department; these include two by Assistant Curator Andrews on cetaceans and two by the Curator—one on the mammals of Venezuela, and the other on the mammals collected by Mr. Andrews in the Dutch East Indies. There is also a short paper by Dr. D. G. Elliot on ‘‘ The Generic Name Cercopithecus,” and a long paper on the very important subject of ‘‘ Revealing and Concealing Coloration in Birds and Mammals,” by the Honorable Theo- dore Roosevelt. The current catalogue of mammals is complete to date, and much advance has been made in the preparation of the index, although much still remains to be done to complete the index catalogue, the osteological material not yet having been reached. The birds are nearly all catalogued to date, including those received the present year from Colombia. EXTINCT VERTEBRATES HENRY FAIRFIELD OsBoRN, Curator Emeritus; W. D. MATTHEW, Curator DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALHONTOLOGY.—The prin- cipal accessions for the year have been through Museum expeditions in charge of Messrs. Barnum Brown, Walter Granger and Albert Thomson. In the early part of the year Mr. Brown investigated a number of reported discoveries of fossil mammals in the southern United States, Mexico and Cuba. ‘Two important specimens were obtained in Mexico, a complete carapace of Glyptodon and the lower jaw of a peculiar type of AZastodon ; and \several promising fields for future exploration were dis- DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY THE GROUND SLOTH GROUP IN THE NEW QUATERNARY HALL | Report of the President 45 covered. In Cuba he secured jointly with the Havana Acad- emy of Sciences a large collection of fossil vertebrates, of peculiar interest since practically nothing has been known hitherto of the extinct animals of the West Indies. During the summer he continued the search for Cretaceous Dinosaurs on the Red Deer River, Alberta, and collected a series of fine specimens, of which the most important are a complete skele- ton of a new Duck-billed Dinosaur, skulls of Carnivorous and Armored Dinosaurs, and several partial skeletons of new or little known types. Mr. Granger continued work in the Big Horn Valley, Wyoming, and added a large collection of the fossil mammals of the Lower Eocene to those obtained by former expeditions. Through the courtesy of Mr. Harold J. Cook of Agate, Nebraska, the Museum party in charge of Mr. Thomson opened up a section of the great fossil quarry at that locality, and obtained a skull and other parts of the ‘‘Giant Pig” Dinohyus, seventy-five skulls of the Pair-horned Rhinoceros, and other material. Exchanges with the Museums of Basel and Vienna, the British Museum and Yale University Museum have also enriched our collections with specimens and casts, chiefly of European fossils. In the exhibition halls, the most important changes are the transfer of the Proboscideans and South American mam- mals to the new Quaternary Hall, formerly the Mineral Hall, and the rearrangement of the remaining fossil mammals in the Tertiary Mammal Hall. A new method of installation for wall-case exhibits has been adopted, the specimens being mounted on vertical panels adjustable to the necessary depth in the case, the shelves, racks and visible mountings being eliminated as far as possible so as to concentrate attention on the specimen and label. The exhibit showing the Evolution of the Horse has been reinstalled in this way and considerably extended in its scope. The reinstallation of the Amblypoda alcove is in progress, and other alcoves will be taken up in their turn. The exhibit of South American Fossil Mammals is in large part new, the most important additions being the group 46 Report of the President of giant Ground Sloth skeletons, the skeletons (casts) of Toxodon and Macrauchenia, and the skeleton of a small primi- tive Ground Sloth. Four skeletons completed last year have been installed in the Dinosaur Hall, and the Fort Lee Reptile has been prepared and placed on exhibition in the corridor opposite the elevator, together with the skeleton of a smaller relative from North Carolina. The greater part of the collections of Cretaceous Dinosaurs and-Eocene mammals secured by Messrs. Brown and Granger in 1910 have been prepared, a few to be mounted for exhibi- tion, the remainder reserved at present for study and descrip- tion. This work has occupied the major part of the time of the laboratory staff. The zoélogical catalogue of fossil mammals has been com- pleted by Dr. Matthew and Mr. Granger. Professor Osborn has continued his researches upon the Titanotheres with assistance of Dr. Gregory. Dr. Matthew and Mr. Brown have published a number of short popular articles and notices for the Museum Journal. A new edition, revised and extended, of the leaflet guide to the Evolution of the Horse, is nearly completed, and one on the Dinosaurs is under way. EXISTING REPTILES, BATRACHIANS, RECENT AND EXTINCT FISHES BASHFORD DEAN, Curator DEPARTMENT OF ICHTHYOLOGY AND HERPETOLOGY.—There have been many changes in the exhibition halls of the depart- ment during the past year. The cases showing the zodlogical succession of fishes, amphibians and reptiles (synoptic series), have been notably enriched, and many of the specimens have been modeled and colored from living material. Of the models introduced there were 30 of fishes, 30 of amphibians, and 20 of reptiles. These represent ‘‘ types” which have long been needed to fill gaps in the series, including, for example, lung- fishes, chimeroids, primitive salamanders, hagfishes, some of which, by the way, were found particularly difficult to model. Report of the President 47 In certain instances—as in the newt, tree toad, turtles, various frogs, horned toads—not only is a species represented, but it is shown in several specimens, so that the same ‘‘mount”’ may illustrate such features in the animal’s economy as color changes, fighting, molting. In this line of exposition a number of instructive new ‘‘ habitat groups” have been prepared and placed on exhibition. Foremost of these is the swamp scene, which shows bullfrogs and other amphibians, and which illus- trates such of their habits as capture of prey, shedding of skin, fashion of swimming, feinting and feeding. This is the chef d@’euvre of Miss Dickerson, assistant curator of reptiles in the department, who for years has been a close student of the frogs. Another group pictures an Indian lizard, a monitor, in its native surroundings; another represents the moccasin with its young, together with kindred forms, in a nook in a cypress swamp. Other groups completed include rattlesnakes, copperheads and iguanas. These ‘‘habitats” have been found very attractive to the average Museum visitor, and it is hoped that a number of similar cases will be brought to completion during the present year. One of these is to repre- sent the spoonbill sturgeon of the lower Mississippi; it will form a large group, picturing a school of the rare sturgeons swimming near the muddy bottom of a Mississippi lake, and with them such of their neighbors as gar pikes, ‘‘ buffaloes” and catfishes. The material for this exhibit was obtained by Dr. Hussakof and Mr. Franklin during their expedition to Moon Lake in rgro. In train, too, is a group of southern Californian forms, which will show the desert conditions under which many forms of lizards thrive. Especial effort was made during the past year to improve the details in the installation of the cases in the exhibition halls. In the Gallery of Recent Fishes the entire series of casts, stuffed skins and skeletons, has been rearranged; the background of all cases has been changed; the hall has been repainted and more than 200 new labels have been introduced. In the Reptile Gallery similar important alterations have been made. The year has been especially fruitful in gifts: 33 donors have contributed in round numbers 250 fishes, 200 amphibians 48 Report of the President and 200 reptiles. Accessions from expeditions and purchases have amounted to over 1,200 specimens of fishes (of which 200 were fossil), 150 amphibians and 50 reptiles. Exchanges are also to be recorded with various museums, mainly European. ExisTING FisHes.—For accessions in the field of fishes in general, the department is greatly indebted to Mr. Cleveland H. Dodge, who has provided a fund which makes possible the purchase of important material and the equipment of expedi- tions. From this source have come many of the specimens noted in the appended list of accessions. The Museum’s expedition to the Pacific coast, especially in the region of southern California, has been fruitful in recent fishes. The cruise of the A/batross, under the direction of Dr. Charles H. Townsend, has brought to the Museum in round number 1,000 specimens of fish. Of these the greater number are new to our collections. The deep water forms are especially important, including about 200 specimens and about 45 spe- cies. The shore fishes of this expedition contribute 100 species unrepresented in our list. Of particular interest is the fact that casts of many ot the rure forms were taken from fresh material by Mr. Bell, who accompanied Dr. Townsend for this purpose. This is the first time that casts of freshly taken deep water fishes have been prepared. Among the important exhibits introduced in the Gallery of Recent Fishes may be mentioned a series (models in wax prepared by Mr. Horter) representing all the genera of hag- fishes and lampreys—the first, we believe, exhibited in any museum—and of particular note, since the group illustrates, more or less accurately, the beginnings of back-boned animals. Another case represents a number of chimzroids—curious shark-like fishes, mainly from deep water—which have been held by many to represent the oldest form of vertebrates to reach the stage of skeleton and paired limbs. These fishes have been modeled from well preserved specimens, and are colored after sketches from life, made by the Curator during trips to the Pacific. Chimeroids, it may be mentioned, are rare, and few have been exhibited even in the largest museums. The case of ganoids, installed during the past + Ona Report of the President 49 year, is also noteworthy: it represents various species of gar pikes, carefully mounted and colored from drawings of freshly caught specimens. In this series appears for the first time, we believe, a model of the rare Chinese spoonbill sturgeon, Psephurus, together with an excellently colored model of Polyodon from the southern Mississippi, which was (in part) prepared on the spot by Mr. Franklin. The hall of recent fishes exhibits also a number of newly com- pleted models of bony fishes, carried out under Mr. Nichols’ supervision, including curiously specialized forms like the seaweed fish, trunkfish, morays and pipefish, together with a dozen or more well mounted skins obtained from Mr. Denton. Of particular merit are mounts of trout and cyprinoids, pre- pared by Mr. Francis West, in the Maine woods, from freshly caught specimens. The Polyodon Group will occupy a position in the outer hall of the Gallery of Fishes, and will be installed as soon as a background is painted. Adjoining this case space has been left for two groups, one of which will exhibit types of pelagic fishes and the other forms from deep water, for which the ad- mirable casts obtained by the A/éatross will be used. Fossi. FisHes.—From the Dodge Ichthyology Fund an expedition was arranged to visit the classical Devonian locali- ties in Ohio. Dr. Hussakof, during the summer, visited the exposures in the neighborhood of Cleveland, Lorain, Dela- ware and Sandusky, and brought back about fifty concretions containing specimens of notable value. In this field little col- lecting had been done during recent years, and it was found that many fossil-bearing concretions had become exposed, ready for harvesting. In the Fossil Fish Hall many changes have been made. The policy has been continued of exhibiting few specimens, and admirable ones. As far as practicable the plan of exhibit- ing specimens on shelves has been abandoned: material appears attached to panels, and the result is clearly attractive. A number of new exhibits have been installed. A ‘fossil aquarium,” which represents models of a number of Old Red Sandstone fishes posed as living, has proved a great addition 50 Report of the President to the gallery. It has been arranged under a window in such a way that artificial light need not be used. AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES.—The department is especially indebted to the New York Zodlogical Society, through its Director, Dr. Hornaday, and its Curator of Reptiles, Mr. Ditmars, for the donation of a large number of rare forms. And it is from these, in many cases, that models have been cast and colored. As already noted, excellent progress has been made in preparing accurate models for the synoptic series, much to the improvement of the exhibition hall. This has also been bettered by a rearrangement of cases, which have now been transposed from the south to the east end of the large (east) hall on the second floor, and have been so placed that they form a partition separating the exhibits of amphibia-reptiles more completely from the rest of the large hall. Adjoining this gallery a room is now provided as a home for the ‘‘habitat’’ groups of reptiles and amphibians. This is practically a separate room, circular in outline, in the tower, and can be kept darkened—an especial advantage, since the visitor may stand in shadow and look on all sides into cases brightly lighted, after the fashion of the new ‘‘habitat”’ bird groups. The success of the first group in this gallery, showing bullfrogs, was immediate and encouraging. The in- troduction of a number of other ‘‘ habitat”? groups in separate cases in the main gallery has already been noted. Strupy CoLLectTions.—Study material, as mounted speci- mens, or preserved in formalin or alcohol, has increased to such a degree that the room for its storage has become inade- quate. A neighboring storeroom accordingly has been pro- vided by the Director, and in this, as well as in the old room, a series of new metal storage cases, after the Washington scheme, will be installed. Aquarium Exuisits.—In order to give the exhibits in the halls of recent and fossil fishes a living interest, a number of small ‘‘ balanced” (still water) aquaria have been installed. In the Hall of Recent Fishes the aquaria are arranged to illus- DEPARTMENT OF ICHTHYOLOGY AND HERPETOLOGY THE NEw ‘‘FossiIL AQUARIUM” IN THE FISH GALLERY Report of the President 51 trate, with living material, several features of general interest which cannot well be shown in casts or preparations: among these: are sexual differences (colors), breeding habits (nesting or viviparity), variation under domestication,—features ex- plained by descriptive labels accompanying the jars. In this connection we should mention the annual meeting and exhibition of the Aquarium Society, which was held in the Museum, under the auspices of the department. This was largely attended, and its contributors deserve great praise for the interest and importance of their exhibits. Many tropical fishes were shown which apparently had never before been brought living to America. EXISTING INVERTEBRATES—DARWIN HALL HENRY EDWARD CRAMPTON, Curator DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—The scientific staff has been increased by the addition of Mr. Charles W. _ Leng, as Honorary Curator of Coleoptera. In the distribution of duties and in other routine respects the departmental organ- ization remains the same. The most noteworthy feature of departmental progress during the past year has been the increased development of field and exploration work. No fewer than seven expeditions have been sent out for longer or shorter intervals, and their work has been coérdinated through its relation to the larger tasks which the department has set for itself, namely, the study of the distribution, evolution and migration of the faunas of North and South America. As these continents form the most natural territory for field studies in invertebrate zodlogy, plans have been formulated for work to extend over ten years at least upon the problems specified. Particular attention must be directed to the changes which took place after the close of the Glacial Period, by which the North American fauna then existing was amplified by immigration from South America. Further knowledge of the former continent is no less essential than discoveries of new forms in the latter area. 52 Report of the President For these larger purposes our expeditions have been planned and carried out. During the spring Mr. Grossbeck spent several weeks in Jamaica securing a collection that is naturally small on account of the early period of the year, but which is exceedingly interesting as it gives an indication of the character of the invertebrate fauna at a time during which collections are rarely made. Dr. Lutz, with the codperation of many members of the New York Entomological Society, continued his studies of the insect fauna in the neighborhood of New York. Late in May Dr. Crampton, Mr. Miner and Dr. Lutz undertook an extended expedition to the West Indies and South America, for which funds were generously provided by the late Mr. Charles H. Senff. Three weeks were devoted to relatively intensive work in the Island of Dominica, while small collec- tions were obtained in numerous other islands of the Lesser Antilles. Mr. Miner returned to New York in July and later proceeded to Nahant, where, with the aid of several members of the preparation room staff, further studies were made with a view to the construction of the Tide Pool Group. Meanwhile Dr. Crampton and Dr. Lutz continued to British Guiana where extensive collections were obtained from the lower levels near the coast and from the forest and plateau in the neighborhood of Kaieteur Falls. Here Dr. Lutz remained until the middle of August to make more thorough studies of the invertebrate fauna, while Dr. Crampton continued through the forests of British Guiana and across the savan- nas of northern Brazil to Mount Roraima. ‘This expedition secured many thousands of specimens from various ecological regions and from different barometric levels, from regions which are of particular importance for the study of the larger problems under consideration, During the summer Mr. Beutenmiiller devoted more than three months to field work in the Black Mountain region of North Carolina, utilizing funds provided by Mr. Samuel V. Hoffman. Professor Treadwell carried on field work in Con- necticut during the same period. Finally, in November, Dr. Lutz and Mr. Leng, accompanied by Mr. W. T. Davis, prose- cuted field studies in northern and southern Florida with extremely gratifying results. Ss ie eee DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY THE MUSEUM’s EXPEDITION TO BRITISH GUIANA. A Successful Capture by the Guiana Carib Indians of the Museum’s Party Report of the Prestdent 53 INVERTEBRATES IN GENERAL.—In developing the exhibits in the Darwin Hall, the habitat groups of marine invertebrates have received special attention, although several new alcoholic preparations and other specimens have been added to the Synoptic Series, while nine models, chiefly of Protozoa, have been completed. The Annulate Group has been temporarily installed in the window of its proper alcove, and great progress has been made in the construction of the Pile Fauna Group and the Tide Pool Group. Properly to represent these com- plex animal associations, with the details of their natural sur- roundings, demands unusual care and skill; furthermore, the individual models of the animals themselves must be very numerous. For example, the completed models for the Wharf Pile Group comprise fifty colonies of Zuéu/aria, three colonies of Bougainvillea, one hundred and seventy-five models of Hydroides, eight colonies of Amaracium, twelve of Cynthia and other Ascidians; in addition, large models of Dactylometra and of numerous other forms are partly completed. Again, nearly two score models of worms and molluscs have been required for the Annulate Group. As the preparation room staff has been so engrossed with work for the above exhibits, the special installations illustrating Darwinian principles have been retarded, but their construction will proceed immediately. The remainder of the invertebrate study collections has been finally arranged, catalogued and installed in the fireproof cases. The notable accessions in this division are the collec- tions obtained through the work of departmental expeditions. As regards scientific work, the important catalogue of Spiders by Dr. Petrunkevitch has been published. Dr. Cramp- ton’s book on ‘*‘ The Doctrine of Evolution” has also appeared, and other researches are nearly ready for publication. Mr. Miner has continued his work upon Myriapods, while Professor Treadwell has been engaged in the preparation of reports upon Annulates secured by various expeditions of the Museum and of other institutions. Insects.—Marked and gratifying progress has been made in this division during the past year. Through field work in many regions, especially in Jamaica, Dominica, British Guiana, 54 Report of the President Brazil and Florida, the department has acquired several thou- sand specimens, a great many of which are new to science, judging from the groups already studied. The collections are rendered more valuable through the copious field notes accom- panying them, so that they are available for important studies in general biology. The Williston Collection of Tropical Diptera has been ac- quired during the year. This valuable series has been labeled and sorted, and a list of 395 type specimens has been prepared for publication by-Mr. Grossbeck; this task has required nice discrimination, as in the majority of cases there was no type label attached to the specimen. Two other collections have been received which comprise different but equally important kinds of types, namely, types of experimentally produced forms, similar to the series received last year from Prof. W. L. Tower. Prof. T. H. Morgan has donated numerous examples of fourteen of the new forms of Drosophila ampelophita which he obtained by selective breeding, while the New York Entomological Society has generously purchased and presented to the Museum the Lepidoptera which Mr. Otto Seifert had reared under changed environmental conditions during their developmental stages. The heirs of the late Rev. J. L. Zabriskie presented his large general collection of insects to the New York Entomo- logical Society, which in turn presented it to the Museum. This collection is especially valuable on account of the great number of local records accompanying the specimens. The department has also received by gift large general collections from Dr. J. H. Stebbins and Mr. J. A. Grossbeck- The degree of progress in this division is partly indicated by the striking fact that during the year it has acquired nearly one hundred thousand specimens. It is apt to be overlooked that all these specimens must be cared for individually and that the labor involved is literally prodigious. At the begin- ning of the year a great mass of unlabeled and unsorted material still remained for arrangement. The fact that the new year has begun with nearly clear tables, as far as the general manual work is concerned, speaks most highly for the efficiency of the few assistants upon whom this work has devolved. ee Report of the President 55 The most important research work of the year on insects is that by Mr. C. W. Leng, on the genus Brachyacantha. Mr. j. A. Grossbeck has continued his studies of the Geometride, although most of his time has been devoted to the care of the general collections. Dr. Lutz has made some advance in his work on the factors of evolution, but during his absence in the field the strain most used in breeding work unfortunately died, so that some time will be lost in developing it anew. Mr. Beutenmiiller has made progress in his work on the monograph of the genus Cafoca/a, and he has also continued his field studies in the Black Mountain region of North Caro- lina. The New York Entomological Society has continued its study of insects within fifty miles of New York with marked success, and although this shows immediate results in the amplification of the local collections, it is mentioned in con- nection with research to emphasize the fact that the work constitutes a larger and more general biological study, and is not merely the collection and labeling of specimens. Mo ..uscs.—Donations to this division during the year include more than 300 specimens from various parts of the world, given by Mr. A. D. Gabay, more than goo shells from Miss Elvine Richard, and a series of West Indian specimens representing thirty-five marine genera given by Mr. George Silly. Valuable material has been acquired through exchanges with Coe College and Mr. Maxwell Smith. During his work in the Northwest, Mr. Barnum Brown secured a large collec- tion, particularly of land shells, while a small lot of beach forms has been received from the Stefansson-Anderson expedition in the Arctic. The expedition to Lower California conducted by Dr. Charles H. Townsend also obtained a considerable num- ber of valuable marine shells. During the first part of the year the removal of the exhi- bition collections from the 5th story to the 3d was completed. The shell collection contains all together about 100,000 specimens, representatives of nearly 15,000 species. These show extraordinary range of color and ornamentation. The arrangement of the collection is still incomplete, but the installation will be as follows: first, in the south wall cases 56 Report of the President will be placed a series showing briefly the classification of molluscs; second, in the eight table cases at the north and south ends of the hall the collections of land shells; third, in the upright railing cases the bivalves or molluscs which have two shells like the common clam; fourth, in the metallic cases the univalves, molluscs which have only one valve or shell like the snails; fifth, special exhibits of shells in the north wall cases. Other cases will contain exhibits illustrating the anat- omy and habits of molluscs; colored transparencies will show them in their habitats. Particular emphasis must be put upon the importance and necessity of a systematic study collection, separate from the exhibition series. Great numbers of small forms, abyssal types, and rare obscure varieties are already in hand and others will undoubtedly come to the department; these can never be introduced successfully into the exhibition series. Separate provision in the shape of reserved cabinets must be provided for the security and study of special collections, such as shells secured by an expedition to Lower California, those obtained from the Fish Commission, and from depart- mental expeditions in the Antilles and South America, as well as through exchanges. Owing to the urgent demands upon his time made by the transfer and care of the shell collections, Mr. Gratacap has necessarily postponed his projected visit to Porto Rico for the collection and study of the molluscan fauna of that island. It is hoped and expected that this deferred expedition will be made at an early date. GEOLOGY AND EXTINCT INVERTEBRATES EpMUND Oris Hovey, Curator DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALAON- TOLOGY.—The growth of this department has continued along some lines of general and economic geology as well as of invertebrate paleontology. Mention of only a few of the more important accessions can be made. Mr. Albert Operti, the artist, presented a series of twenty-two oil sketches made by him on the Peary Report of the President 57 polar expeditions of 1896 and 1897, when the great meteorites on Cape York, Greenland, now in the Foyer of the Museum, were visited and secured. From Dr. George H. Girty of Washington, D. C., came as a gift some 800 well-selected, cleaned and labeled invertebrate fossils from Cambrian and Devonian beds at several typical North American localities. Many interesting gold, silver and copper ores from localities in Alaska were received as a gift from the Honorable William Sulzer. A large series of invertebrate fossils, comprising representatives of more than 1,000 species illustrating the Triassic, Cretaceous and Tertiary paleontology of the Vienna Basin, was received from the Imperial Natural History Museum at Vienna, Austria, in exchange for vertebrate and inverte- brate fossils. A large amount of petrified wood was obtained from the famous ‘‘ forests”? near Adamana, Arizona, on special permits from the federal Department of the Interior, most of which was collected by the Curator on a special expedition. On this expedition, supplementary material was obtained at Bisbee, Arizona, for the interior and the exterior of the Copper Queen cave which is being built in the department. Some interesting trilobites, ancient crustaceans, were received from an expedition maintained near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The great collection of fossil plants and insects from Florissant, Colorado, obtained by expeditions in which the Department of Invertebrate Zodlogy participated years ago, was turned over to this department and part of it placed on exhibition. A beautiful model, 1/40 natural size, of ‘‘ Pulpit Rock,” Nahant, Massachusetts, was purchased as a good example of the naturalistic school of modeling natural scenery which is now coming into deserved prominence. The Curator visited the town of Russell, St. Lawrence County, New York, in August, to inspect a particularly perfect glacial pot-hole whose existence had been reported to the Museum. The pot-hole being found to be in a conveniently situated ledge, arrangements were made with the Gouverneur Marble Company to cut it out. The excavation was suc- cessfully effected, and the block containing the hole will be transported to the Museum during the cold weather. The pot-hole is 2 feet in diameter and 4 feet in extreme depth. 58 Report of the President This will form a most instructive companion piece to the great glacial groove slab that was secured on Kelley’s Island in 1909 through the Dr. C. E. Slocum Fund. The Curator spent the month of October in Arizona collecting the material already mentioned as coming from Bisbee and Adamana. Messrs. S. S. and I. S. Simons were employed for several weeks col- lecting the Cambrian trilobites that came from near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Special assistants were employed in the sum- mer, and much progress was made in overhauling and placing catalogue numbers on the rock collections in the department. The great Hitchcock series illustrating the lithology and gen- eral geology of Vermont and New Hampshire is now in better shape for study than ever before. Steady progress has been made on the model of the Copper Queen Mine, three and sometimes four men being employed upon the work at once. The building of the wooden form for the surface and the modeling of two sections thereof were completed. Several experimental studies were made for the representation of the underground portion of the mine, wHich is the part of the work that presents the most difficult problems. For various reasons, the rearrangement of the hall men- tioned in the last annual report has not been begun, but it will be undertaken at an early date. A model of the proposed gallery and floor cases was prepared and filled with specimens to show different methods of installation. The specimens illustrating historical geology present more difficult problems regarding installation than do those of any other branch of natural history, and an effort is being made to secure results that shall be not only instructive but also pleasing to the general public as well as to visiting scientists. The work of the department was interrupted somewhat through the Curator’s being detailed to service as Acting Director of the Museum for three months of the year. EXISTING AND EXTINCT RACES OF MEN CLARK WISSLER, Curator DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.—Among the ninety or more accessions to our collections were five of the first import- et A (pM Mlr/e DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY THE STATUE OF THE MAORI WARRIOR ON THE LARGEST KNOWN BLOCK OF JADE Report of the President 59 ance. Among these may be mentioned the General U. S. Hollister Navajo Blanket Collection, which gives us a fairly complete series of these unique and interesting textiles. Dr. Carl Lumholtz, the famous explorer, made an expedition to the little known parts of northern Mexico and _ southern Arizona, where he gathered an ethnological collection among the Papago and Pima villages, a type series of which was secured to supplement our rapidly growing southwestern col- lections. Practically the only remaining gap in our series for the Indians of Alaska and British Columbia was filled by the purchase of the Emmons Tsimshian Collection. Mrs. Edward H. Harriman presented a buffalo skin tipi collected several years ago by Mr. Edwin W. Deming. Through the joint efforts of Assistant Curator Herbert J. Spinden and Mr. Juan Reyna, parts of several new and heretofore unknown Mexican codices were obtained. A full enumeration of the various gifts and purchases will be given under another head, but it remains to note that extensive field collections were returned from the Cree, Menomini, Crow, Hidatsa, Rio Grande Pueblos, Kiowa Apache and Pima Indian tribes. In accordance with the general plan for the arrangement of the anthropological collections, the west wing, first floor, was apportioned among three great North American culture areas: the Eastern Woodlands, the Plains and the South- west. The installation of these units is proceeding as rapidly as cases are provided, and in such a manner as to keep the halls continually open to visitors. Early in the year two new halls were opened: one for the South Sea Islands and one for the Philippines. Although the arrangement in these halls is not yet complete, many of the main character- istics of South Sea and Malay cultures are now on exhibition. During the latter part of the year five Tahitian natives visited the city and posed for casts and other details from which three life-sized groups are now under construction. Many years ago the Museum secured some important archeological collections from Europe, representing both the paleolithic and the neolithic period. During the year these collections were reclassified by Professor George Grant MacCurdy of Yale University, and a preliminary exhibit opened 60 Report of the President to visitors in the tower room adjoining the North American Archeological Hall. This should be considered as the begin- ning of a prehistorical exhibit of the evidences of man’s an- tiquity in the Old World. In the same hall, Mr. Ernest Volk has made the final arrangement of his exhibit of the evidences of man’s antiquity in the Delaware Valley. As the latter represents the results of almost thirty years’ continuous re- search under the direction of Professor F. W. Putnam, it is an acquisition of the first importance. In the North Pacific Coast Hall were installed four large mural panels painted by Mr. Will S. Taylor, representing life scenes among the Chilkat, Bella Coola, Tsimshian and Haida Indians. It is intended that these paintings shall serve as substitutes for habitat groups. Two more panels are practi- cally ready for exhibition, completing the series representing material life. It is planned to place on the other side of the hall a similar series representing religious practices and con- ceptions. The Museum possesses an excellent series of archzologi- cal specimens from Peru and other parts of western South America. ‘These occupy one side of the South American Hall where they have been newly arranged to represent the cultural characteristics of the various geographical localities. In the Mexican and Central American Hall several minor changes have been made to give the respective culture areas relatively full representation. During the year the organization of the ethnological storage collections was practically completed, so that now any speci- men in our collections is available for study or other purposes upon a moment’s notice. Also work upon the card catalogue of the department has been advanced so that it is now com- plete for the Eskimoan, North Pacific Coast, Eastern Wood- lands, Plains and Southwestern areas. This gives us for the first time a complete definite locality catalogue. The field investigations of the department have been directed in the main toward the solution of one general problem: the historical relations of cultures up and down the central portions of the United States and Canada. A few years ago this began with simultaneous visits to the Cree Report of the President 61 Indians around Hudson’s Bay, the Crow and other tribes of the Plains and the nomadic and more sedentary tribes of the Southwest. Within this geographical belt there are survivors of many prehistoric groups, speaking some twenty languages and representing several somatic types. This year all our field staff has concentrated on two main points, the systems of social groupings, or societies, and ritualistic forms. The first derives its importance from the choice of it by some sociological students as an example of a certain inner deter- mined evolution, or scheme, which the assumed unfolding of social life was ordained to follow. Now, our studies have made clear that no such unfolding has taken place in this region, but that we have a rather highly developed system of coérdinated societies in a few central tribes with various rem- nants among the marginal groups, seemingly best explained by assuming that some one or two of the central groups con- structed or invented these schemes of organizations and that others copied from them to a greater or less degree. Thus it is probable that the results of this phase of our year’s work will be of some general theoretical importance aside from the accumulation of new knowledge covering the tribes in question. The study of ritualistic forms has also a theoretical interest, because we find a strong tendency for each group of Indians to conserve one or more individual types of ritualistic cere- monies. This is now apparent since we have fairly complete data on all the many rituals still known among a few tribes. It remains to work out a comparative view of these types. Waiving this theoretical problem we have resulting collections of systematically recorded data which in a few years will be unavailable except in our field notes. Perhaps few realize that in North America the existing Indian is no longer living a different life from his white neighbors and that information as to his former life is to be had only from a few old people who will pass into the beyond within a few years. During the year the Chipewyan, Cree and Sarcee of Canada were visited; also the Menomini, Crow, Hidatsa, Mandan, Santee Dakota, and Teton Dakota of the northern Plains; and the Kiowa Apache and Jicarilla Apache of the Southwest: all 62 Report of the President in connection with the above co6drdinated investigation. In addition, some other special investigations were undertaken. Mr. Max Schrabisch 1s exploring the out-of-the-way corners of New Jersey for rock shelters used by prehistoric man. His work has proven them to be rather numerous and to have in them traces of different culture levels, a feature so far rare in North America. Reports from Mr. V. Stefansson received during this year have been of more than usual interest. Aside from the novel discovery of an apparent strain of European blood among far outlying groups of Eskimo, his later discoveries of an archzo- logical nature deserve notice. He found traces of pottery in old village sites, an art so far attributed only to the Alaskan Eskimo. Further he reports that the type of culture indicated by other artifacts is similar to the ancient type in Greenland and Southampton Island, suggesting a prehistoric similarity throughout the entire stretch of Eskimo tribes. As the expe- dition is still out, further details cannot be given. Detailed reports of the various museum expeditions men- tioned above are being prepared for publication in the near future. \ ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY RaLpH W. Tower, Curator DEPARTMENT OF ANATOMY AND PuysioLoGy.—As in past years, the department has been doing work to its full capacity in the preparation of skeletons requisitioned by other departments. For this purpose the work has been detailed in two divisions: one has been concerned with the osteological preparations of the large mammals and birds, while the other has been occupied with the cleaning and mounting of all the small animals. The preparation of 161 skeletons and 1,060 large and small skulls has been completed during the year. Mr. Elwyn has used with much success in certain instances a method of maceration in an alkaline soap solution. This has proved unusually satisfac- tory in the cleaning of skeletons of mammals and large reptiles, but is not adapted to the preparation of fish and amphibia, in which cases the pepsin digestion is much superior.

The equipment in the preparation room remains very in- adequate. Quarters having much larger space, better light and adapted to the installation of a necessary degreasing ap- paratus are the most pressing needs of the department. An exhibition space in the west corridor of the second floor has been allotted to the department, where it is hoped in the near future to install exhibits illustrating such functions as the mechanism of respiration, the structure and functions of the kidneys and the action of the heart. The department has received in the flesh ror specimens from the Central Park Menagerie, 179 from the New York Zoblogical Society, 18 from the New York Aquarium and 39 from other sources, making a total of 337 animals. PUBLIC HEALTH CHARLES-EDWARD AMORY WINSLOW, Curator DEPARTMENT OF PuBLIC HEALTH.—A joint exhibition of models, charts and pictures, illustrating the problems con- nected with the pollution of New York Harbor, and practical methods for the disposal of city wastes, was made during the months of May and June by the Department of Public Health and the Metropolitan Sewerage Commission. At the opening meeting on May 15, addresses were made by President Osborn, Dr. G. A. Soper of the Commission, Dock Commissioner Tom- kins, Dr. H. W. Wiley of the United States Bureau of Chem- istry, and the Curator. On the closing day, Friday, June 16, special lectures were given to 1,200 pupils from the city high schools, who made a visit to the exhibition. The principal work of the department has since been devoted to the preparation, under the immediate direction of Mr. J. H. O’Neill, of a series of models, relief maps, charts and specimens, to illustrate the natural history of drinking water. This exhibit, when completed, will show the original source of water, in the rainfall with its local variations, the methods used in getting water supplies by damming streams 64 Report of the President or driving wells, the varying physical qualities of water as to color and turbidity, the micro-organisms which grow in reser- voirs and cause unpleasant tastes and odors, the sources of pollution of water supplies, with relief maps illustrating certain historic epidemics, the methods in use for purifying water on a municipal scale and in the home, and the gains to human life and health which have been attained in cities of New York State by the substitution of pure water supplies for polluted ones. The most difficult part of the work, the preparation of the models and relief maps, is well advanced, and it is hoped that the exhibit may be installed during the spring. A series of models of bacteria is also under preparation, which will illustrate recent discoveries in regard to the struc- ture of these minute organisms, and will include all the more important bacterial enemies of man, such as the tubercle bacillus, the typhoid bacillus, the plague bacillus and the spirillum of cholera, with killed and preserved colonies show- ing their actual growth. The department has prepared for the Department of Public Education an album of large photographs illustrating the ways in which communicable disease spreads, and how it can be avoided, for use by classes in the public schools. It is hoped that this album may help in some degree in the vital and difficult task of popularizing knowledge as to the laws of indi- vidual health. The Museum of Bacteria which we are establishing is the only one of its kind in the United States. The collection of bacterial cultures has grown very rapidly during the year. We have now under cultivation 479 cultures, representing 322 different types, and forming what is probably the most com- plete collection of bacteria in existence, with the single excep- tion of the Kral collection at Vienna; 577 cultures have been sent out from the laboratory to 53 different institutions in the United States and Canada, representing an earnest of a unique and important service to American bacteriological teaching and research. ‘The resources of the department laboratory are severely taxed, however. It has been so far impossible to begin a systematic study of our cultures, for which the collec- tion offers such unusual facilities, and it is hoped that further \ ee eee ae “a eo DEPARTMENT OF WOODS AND FORESTRY Wax REPRODUCTION OF CATALPA FLOWERS AND LEAVES Many of the models in the Forestry Hall are so accurately copied from life that observers, sometimes even botanists, judge them natural instead of artificial and send questions to the Museum concerning methods of preservation OE a —— Report of the President 65 assistance in the laboratory may be available during the ensuing year. The Curator spent much of the summer in the study of an epidemic of some 1,500 cases of a peculiar septic throat disease which occurred in eastern Massachusetts during the spring. The outbreak ultimately proved to be due to an infected milk supply and presented features of somewhat special interest. The account of it will shortly be published in an appropriate journal as a contribution from the Depart- ment of Public Health. Another investigation, almost com- pleted, is an exhaustive study by Mr. I. J. Kligler of the bacteriology of the dust of streets and buildings. WOODS AND FORESTRY MARY CYNTHIA DICKERSON, Curator DEPARTMENT OF Woops AND Forestry.—The historical value of the Jesup Collection of Woods is emphasized by the continued destruction of American forests. Work has con- tinued on the systematic arrangement of this collection to bring out the natural classification of the trees in families and genera, and to indicate geographical distribution and economic value. Progress has been made in the descriptive labeling and in the construction of fruit and flower models, such as mountain ash (Sorbus americana var. decora Sarg.), catalpa (Catalpa catalpa Karst.), hackberry (Celtis occidentalis L.), virgilia (Cladrastis lutea Koch), hawthorn (Crategus cordata Ait.), and holly (Z/ex opaca Ait.), white pine (Pinus strobus L.), lodge pole pine (Pinus contorta var. murrayana Engelm.), Douglas spruce (Pseudotsuga mucronata Sudw.), scrub pine (Pinus virginiana Mill.), and western yellow pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.). Acknowledgments must be made to the New York Botanical Garden for courtesy in supplying conifer sprays for preservation, to the Department of Parks for catalpa, and to Mr. Webster Norris of Matteawan for virgilia sprays for reproduction. Various drawings for the collection are being made by Mrs. Sargent. The Big Tree sections, previously in the Darwin Hall, have been given a place with the Jesup Collection; this is an 66 Report of the President important preliminary step in the development of the Forestry Hall. Plans are matured for the addition of various exhibits in the alcoves of the hall to show practical facts connected with forest conservation versus destruction as affecting water supply and the country’s agriculture and industries. The department has extended information and identifica- tion of specimens to inquirers of many sorts, such as teachers, architects, industrial engineers and inspectors of creosoting plants. A collector has been sent to the field in New York State to get data, photographs and utensils for use in the construction of a small group illustrative of primitive methods in the maple sugar industry. Several offers of valuable small collections of foreign woods, such as that by Mr. John L. Phillips of New York City of a collection of Santo Domingo woods with flowers and fruits, are awaiting possible space arrangements for the same. The Leaflet on Forestry, based on the Jesup Collection, came from press early in the year. That there exists a settled interest in forestry among the people in America, in pulp in- dustry questions at present of international importance, and in forest preservation in New York with the consequent increase in water supply, is proved by the rapid sale of this leaflet, which aims to set forth in a.simple way the principles under- lying the necessity for the forestry movement. In addition to departmental work, the editorship of the American Museum Journal and Guide Leaflets has been carried. THE LIBRARY RaLepH W. Tower, Curator DEPARTMENT OF Books AND PUBLICATIONS.—The value and use of the Library have been greatly augmented during the year by many important gifts of books and by many ad- ditions to the equipment. Especially noteworthy has been the presentation of the Bickmore library by Professor A. S. Bickmore and his wife, Charlotte B. Bickmore. This library is a remarkably fine collection of selected works in anthropology, travel and natural history. It is very fitting that the Museum should come into possession of this excellent collection, since Report of the President 67 Professor Bickmore was the founder of the Library and ever enthusiastic concerning its welfare. Through this gift many desirable books relating to early travel and Indian affairs have been received, which during the last few years have become very rare and more and more difficult to obtain. The entire accession will amount to some four thousand volumes. During the year it has been possible for the Library, through the generosity and interest of Mr. Anson W. Hard, to procure some of the rare and classic works in natural history which have been so long needed in our collection. Among these are many interesting books, as Jcones [nsectorum Rariorum, by C. Clerck, a work that was privately printed in 1759-1764 aS presentation copies only and has become ex- tremely rare and difficult to obtain; a set of Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des séances et mémotres de la Société de Biologie, from the beginning in 1849 to date; a copy of Hahn & Koch, Die Arachniden in sixteen volumes, 1831-1848, long out of print and important; and a copy of Herrich-Schaffer, Systematische Bearbettung der Schmetterlinge von Europa 1843-1861, a set that is only infrequently offered for sale. The acknowledgments of the Library, as well as of those who now find it possible to consult these classic works, are hereby extended to the donor. Besides the gifts heretofore mentioned there are many others of importance from both institutions and individuals, to whom the Library is greatly indebted. Mr. Cleveland H. Dodge has continued to furnish the publications of The Car- negie Institution, and has presented many volumes relating to ichthyology. A new room corresponding in size to the present large stack-room has been completed and is now awaiting the instal- lation of a modern two-story steel stack. This addition to the equipment will be one of great importance both in serving the convenience of our patrons and in relieving the present overcrowded condition of the shelves. As soon as the new stack can be occupied it is proposed to remove the anthropo- logical works from their present quarters and shelve them in alcoves adjoining the subjects of travel and history with which they are so intimately related. With the installation of a more competent lighting system this arrangement will give a 68 Report of the President convenient, well lighted and serviceable library and reading room for those wishing to consult books on these subjects. In order to make more serviceable the large number of scientific periodicals which are regularly received by the library, plans have been adopted for installing cases along the side walls of the present reading room. Upon the top shelf of each case will be placed the new accessions where they can be consulted before taking their places on the stacks. The lower shelves will contain the encyclopedias, lexicons, diction- aries and the more important books of reference. Upon the remaining shelves will be placed the current numbers of the scientific periodicals as soon as they are received. It is well known that frequently a most important contribution remains for a long time unnoticed because of the inaccessibility of the periodical in which it happens to appear, and it is hoped therefore that this arrangement will afford all those interested in natural history a means of keeping pace with the more important writings. The equipment of a general reading room with popular and non-technical books on natural history in a place readily accessible to the public has so far progressed that a small room on the second floor is being furnished with suitable tables and cases and will soon be open. It is hoped that as a result of this experiment a more intelligent use of the Museum exhibits and a more extensive use of its Library will ensue. The Department of Maps and Charts has been merged with that of the Library, and the collection, at present stored, will later be installed in the room now occupied by the anthropological books. The method of shelving, always a perplexing problem, is under consideration. PUBLICATIONS J. A. ALLEN, Editor The current publications of The American Museum of Natural History consist of the Annual Report, the Bulletin, the Memoirs, the Anthropological Papers and the American Museum Journal. —— oe Report of the President 69 The Audlletin is a strictly scientific publication in which are published the shorter articles embodying the results of the research work of the various departments of the Museum. The papers composing it are less voluminous and of more general interest than those which appear in the Memoirs. The Bulletin was founded in 1881, and the number of volumes which have been issued is thirty. The Memoirs, like the Aulletin, are strictly scientific, but are devoted to special articles requiring more exhaustive treatment. They have been published at irregular intervals since 1893. Ten complete volumes and parts of four others have been issued. The Anthropological Papers are similar in character to the Bulletin, but are devoted exclusively to the results of field work and other research conducted by the anthropological staff of the Museum. ‘The publication of these papers was commenced in 1907, eight volumes having been issued up to the present time. The American Museum Journal is a popular record of the progress of the Museum, and was first published in 1900. The publications of the present year include Volumes XXIX and XXX of the Au/letin, Volume VII, Part I, Volume VIII, and Volume IX, Part I, of the Anthropological Papers, and Volume XI of the /ournai. The total amount expended on publications for the year was $17,182.99.

SHERWOOD, Assistant Secretary The Museum is dependent in large measure on the contri- butions of its friends for the acquisition of new collections, for carrying on explorations, for publishing the scientific results of these explorations and for the extension of its educational system. Receipts from membership are applied directly to these purposes. Thus membership in the Museum affords an opportunity, for all those who are interested in its growth and development, to render practical assistance. There is a mistaken idea that only the very wealthy may become Members, but an examination of the classes of mem- bership will show that even those of moderate means may share in this work.

For the free use of Members and their guests, the Trustees have provided a room on the third floor, near the elevator. It has been furnished with comfortable lounging chairs, and reading and correspondence tables. The Museum Fournal, the Guide Leaflets and other Museum publications, including books by members of the scientific staff, are on file. The Museum collection of the portraits of its Founders and Bene- factors will be found here also. Members, especially when accompanied by their children, are invited to go first to the Members’ Room, where a matron will be found on duty. A branch telephone connects with all parts of the building, and, by calling the Secretary’s office, the Members may summon the Instructor, who will conduct them through the Museum. G2 Report of the President We are especially grateful to those Members who, through suggesting the names of their friends as candidates, have been instrumental in increasing the membership. Such assistance is greatly appreciated.

Sworps In appreciation of Mr. Robb’s interest in the Museum, the Trustees adopted the following Minute at the regular Annual Meeting of the Board, February 13, 1g1t: This Board records with sorrow its tribute to JAMES HaMPDEN RoBB for twenty-five years one of its number. In the decease of Mr. Robb, on January ar, 1911, the Museum has lost another of its old and warm friends. In our relations with the muni- cipal authorities, and especially with the Park Department, Mr. Robb, from his political experi- ence, was for many years a sound and valuable adviser. He always took great pleasure and pride in his connection with the institution, and his presence at our councils will be greatly missed . by many of his friends. Report of the President 75 Mr. Robb was elected a Trustee at the Annual Meeting of February 8, 1886. He served con- tinuously on the Executive Committee after February 12, 1894, and was Permanent Chairman of the Committee during the years 1901-1907 inclusive. He also served continuously as Sec- retary of the Board from February 8, 1906, until his decease. He was a member of the Jesup Memorial Committee, of the Committee on Con- stitutional Condition of the City Maintenance Appropriation, of the Committee on the Revision of the Constitution and By-Laws, and served the Museum in other ways through his constant ex- pression of personal interest in its welfare. The following is the Minute which was adopted at the regular Quarterly Meeting of the Board, May 8, 1911, in recognition of Mr. Kissel’s interest in the Museum: Through the death of Mr. Gustav E. Kissel, on April 10, 1911, The American Museum of Natural History has lost another of its warm friends and supporters. Mr. Kissel was elected a Trustee on February 12, 1894, and thereafter was deeply interested in the development of the institution. He served on the Executive Committee from 1895 to 1899 and continuously on the Auditing Committee from 1897 to the time of his death. In the year Igor, at the special request of President Jesup, he prepared a valuable raport on the methods of the internal financial administration of the Museum, in codperation with Mr. Percy R. Pyne. Many of the recommendations of this report subsequently were embodied in our financial sys- tem. From time to time Mr. Kissel served the Museum in other ways and contributed to the advance of a.number of its scientific plans. The Trustees of the American Museum, at this time, desire to make permanent record of their sense of loss and to extend to the members of Mr. Kissel’s family most sincere sympathy in their bereavement. 76 Report of the President IV.—FINANCES, MAINTENANCE, ENDOWMENT Early in the year a special committee was appointed by the Board to examine the method of handling the finances of the Museum and to recommend such changes as seemed desirable. Following the recommendation of this Committee, the Board appointed the United States Trust Company of New York Assistant Treasurer of the Museum, and made it the depository for all moneys received by the Museum, with the exception of the funds of the Permanent Endowment, which were to be continued with J. P. Morgan and Company, under the name of the Endowment and Investment Account. The office of Bursar was created, and Mr. Frederick H. Smyth, who had been in the general office for twenty years, was promoted to this position. The Bursar is the representative of the Treas- urer at the Museum and the head of the Treasurer’s office there. A system of ‘‘ Bill Sheets” was introduced which provided for the listing of all bills before payment on a sheet which is approved in writing by the Director and one of the following officers: President, Vice-President or Chairman of the Exec- utive Committee. These sheets duly approved with bills attached are submitted to the Assistant Treasurer, who draws a check for the full amount of the bill sheet to the order of the Bursar, who deposits the same in his Bursar’s Account and draws against it in payment of the individual bills. Oncea month the Assistant Treasurer examines the books of the Museum, including the Bursar’s Account, to see that disburse- ments have been properly made. The financial transactions of the Museum have been carried as usual in three separate accounts, namely, the City Main- tenance Account, the General Account and the Special Funds Account. The details of the receipts and disbursements thus classified will be found in the Treasurer’s Report, pages 79 to 93 inclusive. Semi-annually all books and vouchers of these accounts have been duly examined and certified by the Audit Company of New York. City MAINTENANCE AccouNnT. —In this account are received and disbursed only those moneys which are appro- a a a ee eee eee ——— y Report of the President 77 priated by the City for maintenance of the Museum. This appropriation in 1911 was $189,757, an increase of $4,000 over the appropriation of the preceding year. The major part of this increase was used in providing a general increase of wages for all classes of employees exclusive of the members of the scientific staff. The actual cost of maintenance of the Museum, even under the strictest interpretation of the contract with the City, is greatly in excess of the City’s appropriation, and, as has been the case for many years, the Trustees have had to meet some of the cost of maintenance out of their own funds. They have applied $64,131.10 to this purpose in 1911. This is exclusive of many items which legally could be charged to the City, but which the Trustees feel morally should not be classed as maintenance. For example, the entire corps of preparators is paid exclusively out of Museum rather than City funds; also the time of Curators devoted to research is sustained wholly by Museum funds. TRUSTEES GENERAL ACCOUNT.—It is upon the receipts of the General Account that the Trustees chiefly draw for the pur- chase of specimens, the support of field parties and the carrying on of research and for publications, in short, for the scientific development of the Museum. It is gratifying to report that the receipts in this account have been larger than ever before, reaching the total of $177,366.98, a sum nearly $15,000 greater than last year. This increase is largely due to the generous personal contributions of the Trustees. The principal items of income are as follows: Interest on General Endowment Fund. ......... ..... $56,064.63 freer on morris K. Jesup Fand................-..- 50,986.00 eh BO ia wlan pio nv ios aw nea heals eee ee 4,900.00 Annual and Sustaining Members...................... 1g, 100.00 Special Contributions of Trustees................. ... 29,600.00 TRUSTEES SPECIAL Funps Account.—The Special Funds Account, as its name implies, is made up of contributions which are to be expended only for specific purposes. In reality each fund is treated as a separate account: thus the Treasurer is prepared at any time to disburse all or any part of a special 78 Report of the President fund. As these contributions are almost always for the pur- chase of collections or the support of field parties, the moneys of this account form an important item of income in the development of the scientific work of the Museum. These contributions in 1911 have amounted to the splendid total of $54,700 78, a sum which has enabled the Museum to become the possessor of several rare collections and to undertake ex- plorations which otherwise would have been impossible. TRUSTEES PERMANENT ENDOWMENT ACCOUNT.—It is a source of regret that we cannot report a greater increase in the funds of the Permanent Endowment. One substantial contribution has been received, namely, $25,070.37, from the estate of Charles E. Tilford, in settlement of the terms of his bequest. The total endowment at the close of 1911 was $2,367,716.28. In the last analysis the progressive and systematic development of the Museum, both in its scientific and educational work, is directly dependent on the Permanent Endowment. It will be seen, therefore, that the increase of the endowment has become imperative.
