This large collection was presented through the kindness of Mr. Edward E. Ayer, Mr. E. B. Butler, Mr. W. R. Linn, and Mr. Martin A. Ryerson. Among the im- portant features of the collection was a complete mounted skeleton of the sabre-tooth tiger. This forms a striking and valuable addition to the series of fossils. An additional skeleton of this tiger, incomplete but mountable, was also included in the collection. An incomplete but mountable skeleton of the fossil wolf of the Los Angeles locality and in addition six good skulls and twelve lower jaws of the animal were also received. The large, extinct sloth found at this locality was represented by a skull nearly two feet in length, also by teeth and parts of lower jaws and some of the peculiar leg bones and claws of the animal. These will furnish a mounted limb. A large fossil lion of the locality, about twice as large as the largest African lion, is repre- sented by several bones; a large camel, one-half larger than the largest modern camel, is represented by vertebrae and some other bones; and the native horse is represented by leg bones and teeth. There are also contained in the collection parts of four bird skulls, leg bones and claws, and probably one mountable foot. Some of these bones show birds of unusually large size. Bones of the mammoth and bison, the latter including one good bison skull, were also comprised in the collection. In addition a large quantity of miscellaneous bones of various species was included which will be valuable for purposes of comparison and pos- _ sibly for completing skeletons. Two meteoric stones of the fall which occurred at Blanket, Texas, May 30, 1909, were presented through the kindness of Mr. Stanley Field and Mr. Arthur B. Jones. These stones represent all the known material of this fall and make a valuable addition to the meteorite collection. About 60 specimens of min- erals and ores were presented by Mr. W. J. Chalmers. This series in- cluded a number of specimens of gold ores showing free gold, specimens of native silver, agate, turquoise and other valuable minerals. Fifteen specimens of jasper and moss agate, presented by Mr. J. H. Mosher of 18 Frerp Museum or NaturAL History — Reports, Vo. V. Glendive, Montana, and several additional specimens of moss agate showing remarkable imitative landscape effects, loaned by him, furnish excellent specimens of a remarkable occurrence of this mineral. Mr. Fred Pattee contributed a number of specimens of ores and industrial minerals from various western localities. These gifts included ores of copper and vanadium, also specimens of phosphates, asbestos and barite. An interesting series of copper ores showing stages of replacement of hornblende by copper minerals was presented by Dr. F. C. Nicholas, also a valuable specimen of tungsten ore. A striking and valuable specimen of gold ore from the Smuggler-Union mine, Colorado, was presented by Mr. T. S. Chalmers. The India Geological Survey pre- sented several specimens of Indian laterite, thus securing a representa- tion of this peculiar mineral which had not hitherto been possessed. The representation of the Los Angeles fossil fauna was increased by the gift of 532 specimens by Dr. William Bebb. These specimens included several hundred bones of Smilodon, a large number of bones of the fossil wolf and some of the fossil horse, sloth and bison. The Colorado-Yule Marble Company presented six full-sized slabs showing the varieties of marble obtained at its quarries. The col- lection of fuller’s earths and barites which had hitherto been quite incomplete, was increased by the gift of specimens from several firms producing these substances. Of these, fuller’s earths were pre- sented by the Manatee Fuller’s Earth Corporation, the Floridin Com- pany, J. E. and R. M. Farnsworth and the Lester Clay Company; and barite was presented by the Cherokee Chemical Company, Durex Chemical Works, Krebs Pigment and Chemical Company, and Thomp- son, Weinman and Company. Mr. H. R. Wood, the producer, pre- sented four specimens of tungsten ore from Arizona, and C. K. Williams and Company three specimens of crude and ground tale. Nine speci- mens of iron ore from the unusual deposits that occur at Mayville, Wisconsin, were presented by Mr. E. S. O’Connor. Mr. Max Ziege presented 33 specimens of ores from the Ruby Mountain District, Nevada, which included copper, antimony and silver ores and accom- panying rocks. Exchanges made with several individuals and institutions resulted in adding desirable material. The most important accession re- ceived in this way was obtained from the Deseret Museum, Salt Lake City, Utah, and consisted of fifteen specimens of the products of the Great Salt Lake, Utah, and fifteen brilliant and rare specimens of crystallized pyrite and tetrahedrite from Bingham, Utah. The Salt Lake products included brines, calcareous odlite, mirabilite and various forms of common salt, all obtained from the waters of the lake. A slab of the Big Skookum meteorite was obtained by partial exchange with ‘uosi0Ay “VW J pur ‘uUry YM WoTME “a “a WoAY “A “A “SaSSOY JO IED “VINYOSITVD ‘SAISZONV SOF ‘SG3q LIVHdSYV SATSDNV SOD ‘“(SNOINHYOSIIIVO NOGOTINS) YADIL HLOOL-YSEVS TISSO4 JO NOLAISYS ‘Al JLW1d ‘SLYOdSY "AYOLSIH IWHNLVN JO WNASNW Q13I4 JAN., 1916.

From Mr. William Foshag were obtained by exchange eight specimens of rare California minerals, and from Mr. E. G. Norton three specimens of crystallized calaverite from Cripple Creek, Colorado. The principal accession by purchase was a number of specimens of the rare Carboniferous crinoid Phalocrinus, which had not previously been represented in the collections.. Specimens of tracks of a Carboniferous batrachian were included in the same accession. In the Department of Zoology the number of accessions during the year were as follows: Birds 143; mammals 16; fishes 276; insects 923; and shells 432. Of these, 125 of the birds were an important purchase of Dutch Guiana birds from Mr. Penard; 152 Nicaraguan butterflies ‘were obtained from Senor Dion. Chaves of Managua; 24 species of sphinx moths were presented to the Museum by Mr. B. Preston Clark of Bos- ton, these with one or two exceptions being new to the Museum collec- tion and some of them very rare; also 116 Bolivian insects secured by the Collins and Day expedition to South America. There was obtained by purchase a very interesting abnormal form of Helicontus doris viridis. Of the 276 fishes added to the collection 265 were the gift of Dr. C. Eigen- mann and were desirable acquisitions. Of the 432 shells received, 255 from southwestern United States were the gift of Mr. R. C. Orcutt; 52 specimens from the Museum’s South American Expedition, and 117 from the Joseph N. Field South Sea Islands Expedition. EXPEDITIONS AND FIELD WorK-——D rr. George A. Dorsey, to whom leave of absence had been granted for a visit to the Orient, availed himself of the opportunity of his sojourn in India to acquire an ethnological collection for the Museum with funds provided through the generosity of Mr. Homer E. Sargent, Mr. Cyrus H. McCormick and Mr. Martin A. Ryerson. A description of the collection appears elsewhere in this re- port. The discontinuance of the regular zoological expedition to South America was compensated for by participation in an expedition known as the Collins-Day South American Expedition, organized and ' financed by Mr. Alfred M. Collins of Philadelphia and Mr. Lee Garnett Day of New York City. This expedition included besides Mr. Collins and Mr. Day and their associate, Mr. W. T. Walker, two zoological collectors, one, Mr. R. H. Becker, representing the Museum, and the other, Mr. G. K. Cherrie, representing the American Museum of Nat- ural History of New York. The entire expenses and salaries of the collectors were generously defrayed by Mr. Collins and Mr. Day and every opportunity was afforded for work with the result that, despite a 20 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. rainy season and a limited amount of time, some 1,300 specimens of birds and mammals were secured. By special agreement these will be divided equally between the two Museums. The expedition sailed from New York December 26, 1914, and proceeded via Panama to Mollendo, Peru. From there a short trip was made to the highlands near Lake Titicaca and specimens were obtained of the larger mammals of the region, especially the guanaco or wild llama, and the vicufia. It is of great interest to note, as illustrating the scant means available for study- ing South American animals, that these vicufias were the first to be brought to a North American Museum, notwithstanding the fact that the species is of relatively large size and of great economic importance. The expedition continued through the Andes to Cochabamba, Bolivia. From Cochabamba it was decided to descend to the Madeira River and the Amazon by way of the Chapare and Mamore rivers instead of by the more frequented route via the Beni River. The difficult journey was made with a train of twenty-four pack mules at considerable expense of time, money and personal hardship. The remainder of the trip was by canoe and small steamer to the Madeira-Mamore railroad by which the rapids of the Madeira were passed and thence to the Amazon at Manaos where steamships of good size were available. The collection of mammals secured by the expedition has not yet been studied and the specimens of birds, which will ultimately come to this Museum, have not been received. In September and October, Taxidermist Friesser made a successful expedition to the Olympic Mountains of the State of Washington, where, through the courtesy of state officials, he was permit- ted to obtain fine specimens of the Olympic or Roosevelt Elk. These and the accessory material secured at the same time will be used for a large group of these animals, which has long been planned and for which a striking background has already been painted.

INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT. —— The work and efficiency of the Department of Anthropology in matters of installa- tion have been fully maintained during the year. A total of 68 new cases have been placed on permanent exhibition, many of these being completely labeled. The material installed in these cases is distributed as follows: Classical archeology 6 cases; Hopi ethnology 10 cases; Tibetan ethnology 18 cases; Chinese ethnology 8 cases; Chinese archz- REPORTS, PLATE V.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 21 ology 11 cases; Japanese ethnology 1 case; New Caledonian ethnology 8 cases; Philippine ethnology 1 case; and Solomon Islands ethnology 5 cases. The 31 cases on the gallery relating to physical anthropology were relabeled and reinstalled; work on the cataloguing of the main col- lections in physical anthropology has likewise been commenced. Hall 49 has been installed with exhibits of the Mrs. T. B. Blackstone Expedi- tion to Tibet. One group of the displays illustrates the life of the nomadic tribes of eastern Tibet, their saddlery and other means of transportation, utilization of skins, leather, and yak-hair weavings. A large coracle, the only type of boat used in Tibet, is a notable feature in these ex- hibits. For comparative study, Chinese saddlery is likewise shown in this section on the dummy of a horse, which is equipped with full har- ness. Another group of Tibetan exhibits, consisting of 7 cases, illus- trates the manufacture of textiles, the process of weaving being shown by several looms, as well as the style and wear of costume. Sixteen life- size figures have been prepared with much care for faithfulness of all characteristic features. They are completely dressed in native style, even as regards the hair and hair-dressing procured in Tibet, and are thoroughly representative of the manifold tribes of central, eastern, and northeastern Tibet. A model of a woman from central Tibet is shown in festive attire complete with all jewelry. Special emphasis is laid upon the difference between the pastoral and sedentary or agricultural tribes, and upon the influence exerted upon Tibetan culture by China. In addition to the costumed figures, nine articles of clothing are exhibi- ted on dummies, also many specimens of woollen and hempen fabrics. Jewelry from Tibet and China, formerly deposited in Higinbotham Hall, is now installed in three standard cases on slanting shelves cov- ered with black velvet. The installation is well provided with photo- graphs depicting the wearing of the jewelry. This installation presented technical difficulties of great complexity, all of which have been over- come. In December the three jewelry cases, also one from Hall 54, were moved to alcoves 121 and 122, North Court. Two cases containing Tibetan religious paintings were installed in Hall 49. The Chinese bronzes temporarily placed in the North Court were trans- ferred to the East Annex and permanently installed in standard cases. They now occupy altogether eleven cases, and are arranged in strictly chronological order. In consequence of this addition, a re- organization of the Chinese Halls became necessary. The paintings were removed from Hall 43 and 44 to Hall 47 and replaced by nine cases of bronze. For technical reasons two cases of bronze have to remain in Hall 49. The interesting and instructive models of boats and palan- quins, acquired at the World’s Columbian Exposition, were permanently 22 Firtp Museum or NaturaAt History — Reports, Vou. V. installed in two standard cases placed in Hall 53, each model being pro- vided with a descriptive label. The imperial jade book and jade seal presented by Mr. von Frantzius are temporarily installed in Hall 4s, in such a manner that they can be freely viewed from all sides. The two detached jade tablets purchased a year ago were added to these exhibits.. A special case was constructed for the large brass temple- lamp from India, secured during the time of the Columbian Exposition. The Japanese tapestry, formerly in Hall 31, was moved to Hall 56 into its appropriate surroundings. Mr. Ayer’s gift of four Moro guns necessitated the reinstallation of two cases containing Moro armor. The New Caledonian collection, installed in eight cases by Assistant Curator Lewis, is especially interesting for its rare old masks and fine assortment of weapons, notably the stone-headed clubs, one of which is said to be the largest in existence, and was the property of one of the famous chiefs in New Caledonia. Other objects of significance are the house-posts and ornaments, native money, and the old-style clothing and ornaments, especially the green-stone necklaces representing the most highly prized treasures of a New-Caledonian woman. Five cases containing material from the Solomon Islands were also installed. The installation of the Stanley McCormick Hopi Collections has progressed satisfactorily, ten cases having been completed. Five of these cases comprise 150 masks and head-dresses, shown upon freshly painted plaster busts, in their proper groupings and sequence. ‘Three cases are filled with modern domestic pottery, two of unpainted, one of painted ware, in their groupings, as recognized by the Hopi themselves. The series of fifty objects showing the manufacture of pottery is very complete and instructive. One case includes rattles of every type, in fact, all musical instruments used by the Hopi, except drums. In another case are displayed the rabbit sticks, raw skins, and the rabbit- skin robes which are purely woman’s work, no man being allowed to be present during their making. In the North Court, three cases have been installed; namely one of Etruscan Bucchero ware variously decorated, another of vessels with red designs on black ground. The third is occupied by bronzes which include the two cistas pur- chased last year, all being obtained through the efforts of Mr. Ayer. These cases, newly installed, necessitated some rearrangement in which the two candelabra cases and one of bronze pails were moved to the east line of cases in the Court where the three cases of Irish art-work have stood for years. These had been placed previously in alcoves 121 and122. Minor transfers of material have also been made in this Court. The two cases containing antique glass in the North Court have been reinstalled upon a new principle of open shelving JAN., 1916. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 23 which fully exhibits the beauty of form, wonderful colors, and iri- descence of these specimens. The Pompeiian collection secured by the Director in San Francisco is temporarily installed in a hanging wall-case in alcove 121, North Court, and is completely labeled. When alcove 120 was vacated to make room for exhibits of the N. W. Harris Public School Extension, the Roman mills, braziers, and other objects were rearranged in the Court as best as its crowded condition would permit. A portion of the ethnological material obtained by Dr. Dorsey in India through the liberality of Messrs. Homer E. Sargent, Cyrus H. McCormick, and Martin A. Ryerson, has been placed temporarily in two wall cases in alcove 122. In H. N. Higinbotham Hall there have been some changes in installation as well as rearrangement. Hanging-cases 21 and 22, on the South Wall, were stripped of Algerian jewelry, and in its stead was placed the Turkish, Armenian, Syrian, and Arabian jewelry, formerly in case 17, along with the Bulgarian jewelry from case 19. In the vacated space in case 19 were temporarily placed Tibetan charm-boxes and earrings. Tibetan jewelry, consisting of rings, bracelets, and hairpins, was also transferred from case 20 to case1g. The Algerian jewelry from cases 21 and 22, along with a more recent accession of the same material, was installed in the new case on the East Wall of the hall. Some Colombian gold objects were taken from the floor of case 24 and placed upon the floor of case 23. When the Tibetan jewelry was removed from cases 19 and 20 for permanent installation in Hall 49, a reinstallation of case 20 was made necessary. This installation brought about some rearrangement of cases, Nos. 17 and 18 being moved from the East Wall to the North Wall, bringing all the jewelry from India intoasingle group. Case 23 and a new case were moved into vacated space upon the East Wall. Since Hall 48, East Annex, utilized for several years past as a work-room, was needed for the further exhibition of the Mrs. T. B. Blackstone collections, the north end of Hall 71 was cleared of all ethnological material stored there and equipped as a work-room, being in close proximity to the vast Pacific Island collections yet to be installed and stored in the West An- nex, there to await removal into the new building. To better condense the ethnological material in the south end of Hall 71, the Volk collec- tion and other material intended for exchange, as well as the large model of the Ruins of Mitla, Mexico, have been placed in Hall 68, now to be utilized for general storage. Six cases, heavily loaded with storage material, were taken from Hall 71 and placed in Hall 72 for early in- stallation. The two cases of stored Australian material now stand in Hall 80, having been moved there from Hall 72. The drums, previ- ously stored in Halls 79 and 80, having been shifted to Hall 68; those 24 Fretp Museum or NaturaAt History — Reports, Vou. V. two halls, with cases placed to the best advantage, will afford parking for fifty cases of the Joseph N. Field Melanesian Collections to be in- stalled. Preservation of material, photographing, and rearrangement have necessitated work in one hundred cases of the Department during the year. Hall 48 in the East Annex was originally intended to serve as a gallery of Chinese painting. In view of the new material expected soon from San Francisco, however, this plan has been abandoned, and the hall will be reserved for the reception of the pagodas and other new acquisitions. The former plaster-room has been divided by a partition-wall into two rooms. The Department of Botany has installed 39 new case-units in the public exhibition series, while 17 others have been reinstalled and aug- mented with new and interesting material. Of these cases 15 were added to the Systematic Economic Series; 37 to the North American Forestry Series; and 4 to General Dendrology. To the North American Forestry Series monographs of the following trees were added: Red or Pencil Cedar, Mountain Pine, Pitch Pine, Chestnut Oak, Yellow Locust, Honey Locust, Cork Elm, Red Spruce, Red Ash, Butternut, Chestnut, Hop-Hornbeam, Fraser’s Umbrella Tree, Cucumber Tree, Beech, Sourwood, Yellow Poplar, Pennsylvania Cherry, Fraser’s Fir, Sweet Buckeye, Black Willow, Sweet Birch and Yellow Birch. To the Den- drologic Series was added a display, in four cases, of the woods of the Hawaiian Islands, representing, with fair sized specimens, the trees of the islands as described in the new work of Mr. Joseph F. Rock. To the Systematic Economic Series a case was added dsplaying the fruits, gums, and tan and dye barks belonging to the Combretum and Mangrove families; one with similar products derived from the Com- bretum and Spikenard families; two cases devoted to the derivatives of the Birch family; one to those of the Willow, Myrtle and Walnut families; two to the Walnut family alone; one additional to the Oak family; one to the Sapodilla family and one each to the Spurge and the Daisy families. On account of lack of cases and cramped quarters in the rooms devoted to the working herbarium, it became necessary to entirely reorganize the collections during the year. In order that the material most frequently consulted might be readily accessible the Eura- sian and African material was removed from the organized herbarium and placed in a series of metal storage cans racked in the mounting room on the first gallery; and the West Indian, Central and South American specimens rearranged in like storage cans racked above the regular herbarium cases. This divides, temporarily, the organized reference collection into three parts. In all three the plants are fully arranged in the order of modern classification.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 25 as when all like material is together, yet the collections are consistently available, until such time as they can be reassembled in the herbarium hall of the new Museum building. In the Department of Geology a complete readjustment of the cases in Skiff Hall was made in order to give better lighting and group- ing. Formerly the low cases had been arranged on one side of the hall and the high cases on the other, but as the amount of light obtained by this method of arrangement was insufficient, the cases have now been arranged so as to form a series of alcoves with the taller cases forming the sides of the alcoves and the lower ones oc- cupying the center. The lighting by this arrangement is much more satisfactory. Six of these alcoves were placed on each side of the main passageway through the hall, the forming of these alcoves having re- quired the readjustment of 56 cases. From most of these cases it was also necessary to entirely remove the specimens and reinstall them. In this connectien the opportunity was improved to perfect the order of the specimens so as to bring related groups as close together as possible. The exterior woodwork of the cases was also entirely refinished. Space was found in the cases for several new series, among them being a series of bonanza silver ores from Mexico and a collection illustrating the nature and origin of certain “‘porphyry coppers.” To the rare earths collec- tion a radiograph was added made by exposing a lead object to the ‘emanations from carnotite. This was installed with other radium ores as a means of showing the best method of detecting such ores. A portion of the collection of gold ores was removed to make room for a model of a gold mine constructed by the Assistant Curator. This model represents methods of working a small gold mine of medium rich- ness in a vertical quartz vein six feet wide. The background and above- ground scenery were prepared from studies of Arizona landscapes from photographs made by the Curator. The model occupies a space of four by three feet with a depth of about six inches. It illustrates a mine worked by levels connected by a shaft. The ore is represented as a vein of quartz containing minute particles of free gold. At one side the vein is represented as intersected by another running from the front to the back of the model. The ground about this vein is supposed to be looser than at the side and a different method of timbering is iilustrated. To illustrate the methods of removing the ore several stopes are shown as well as raises and winzes. Various features of mining equipment are also represented such as head frames, shaft house, tramways, ore cars, pump, etc. The scale of the model is five feet to the inch, and pains were taken to have it represent different features of a well managed mine as far as possible. In all parts of the economic collections 26 Fietp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V. there has been a constant addition of new material in the form of single specimens or small groups. Room for these has for the most part been obtained by withdrawing older specimens from exhibition. Space for increase in the number of rare earths and tungsten ores was obtained by withdrawing a portion of the antimony collection from exhibition. A collection of rocks from German coal fields which was properly a part of the coal collections not now on exhibition was withdrawn and the space gained utilized for the dis- play of three new collections more in harmony with adjacent ex- hibits. One of these is a collection of fuller’s earths from the most important American localities; another is a series illustrating the raw materials, intermediate and final products of Portland cement; and the third collection is one giving a synopsis of the uses of quartz and quartz sands. In this collection numerous specimens show the more common occurrences of quartz; then the grades of quartz used for the more valuable products, such as prisms, lenses and blown quartz utensils; and a third section shows specimens of the poorer qualities of quartz used for more ordinary purposes and sands suited to many special uses. These collections were installed in Hall 35. By reinstallation and some crowding of specimens a much enlarged collection of barite has been accommodated in the space formerly devoted to fewer specimens of this mineral. To the collection illustrating products of coal tar, some of the better known medicinal substances made from it such as phenacitin and acetanilide have been added. In Higin- botham Hall all the specimens were removed from the four central gem cases, the cases lined with new white silk and the specimens re- installed. This work was necessitated by the fact that the old lin- ings had become worn and faded. New linings were also provided for the upper parts of these cases and shelves of finished glass supported by glass pillars were put in place of the rough shelves swinging on chains which had hitherto been used. A new series of moss agates and jaspers was installed and some other minor changes were made. In Alcove 105, leading to Higinbotham Hall, the collection numbering 163 specimens illustrating the varieties and occurrence of amber which was obtained last year wasinstalled. This collection illustrates different forms and colors of crude amber, forms and colors of pressed amber or ambroid, carvings in amber, fossils found in amber, distillation products of amber, etc. The collection was installed on a series of glass shelves, each specimen being secured to an individual mahogany stand. In front of each specimen was placed a label secured by an individual clip. To the exhibition series of systematic minerals about fifty specimens of recent accessions were added. The series of Salt Lake products was JAN., 1916. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 27 installed in a case with other salts in Hall 31. The fossil Carboni- ferous tree from Michigan obtained from the St. Louis Exposition was installed in Hall 33 in connection with other fossils from this period. The series of Carboniferous crinoids and batrachians acquired during the year was similarly installed. The work of mounting the invertebrate fossils upon tablets suitable for installation in floor cases was carried on during the year as opportunity permitted and about 300 specimens were so prepared. Practically all the Pleistocene in- vertebrate fossils have now been mounted in this way and some other series have been completed. The Pleistocene fossils prepared were in- stalled temporarily in a case in Hall 33. Specimens chiefly of Pleisto- cene and Tertiary invertebrates which had been on exhibition were removed from two wall cases and the cases placed in position in Hall 35 to receive the skeleton of the sabre-tooth tiger and other important specimens of the large collection of vertebrate fossils from California presented by Messrs. Ayer, Butler, Linn and Ryerson. By use of these two cases it was possible to place a representative series of these fossils on exhibition. ‘The specimens installed include a com- plete mounted skeleton of the sabre-tooth tiger, several skulls of the same species, several skulls and a large number of bones of the fossil wolf, skulls and limb bones of the ground sloth, limb bones of the mastodon _ and horse, skulls and other bones of the bison, and skulls and other bones of various vulture-like and other birds. In order to make room for the additional cases and secure a better grouping of the specimens, some re- adjustment of the large cases in the Hall was also made. The speci- mens of fossil elk skull and horns from Palos Park, Illinois, presented by Mr. H. H. Honink, were also installed in this Hall. In Hall 59 a disarticulated skeleton of the sabre-tooth tiger was installed in a table- case, with each bone labeled so that the anatomical features of the skeleton may be readily studied. In the laboratory of vertebrate paleontology a model of the jaws of the great Eocene shark Car- charodon was completed, pains being taken to have the anatomical details as nearly correct as possible. The jaws, as completed, have a width of over six feet and an opening of four feet. For the first row of teeth actual fossil specimens were used and for the suc- ceeding rows casts of these. The modeling of the lines of the jaw was based on careful studies of modern sharks. By careful atten- tion to all these details it is believed that the characters of the ancient shark jaw are reproduced with great fidelity in this model. Owing to lack of space the model has not been placed on exhibition but will be available for the new building. The mounting of the skeleton of the sabre-tooth tiger received from California was modified so as to 28 Frerp Museum or NatTurAL History — Reports, Vor. V. give greater rigidity and a more natural pose and it was placed upon a new base. A skull and jaws of the Miocene horse, Parahippus, were prepared for exhibition and the mounting of a skeleton of the Miocene camel Oxydactylus was nearly completed. The large collection of fossil bones from the Los Angeles asphalt beds, numbering nearly 3000 specimens, was taken to Whiting, Indiana, where, through the courtesy of the Standard Oil Company, complete facilities were pro- vided for soaking the bones in naphtha and thus dissolving out the tarry material. This treatment of the specimens was necessary to avoid the slow exudation of the asphalt which experience had shown would otherwise occur and cause injury to the interiors of the cases. The generosity of the Standard Oil Company in this connection is gratefully acknowledged. In the Department of Zoology the collection of mammals in alcohol has been overhauled and fully identified. The collections of birds, mammals and insects were disinfected. The skins of the large mammals stored in the basement of the Museum are now reasonably accessible; only little progress has been made in completing the tanning of such skins as still remain in a raw state, the skin dresser having been occupied the greater part of the year on fresh material. Three large groups of birds, provided by the Stanley Field Ornithology Fund, have been finished and placed on exhibition. They represent bird life in Tropical America. (1) Oil birds, Steatornis caripensis. This group shows breed- ing birds in a cave in which they live, and illustrates a form of bird life of great interest. The material for the group was secured by the Mu- seum South American Expedition on the Island of Trinidad in 1914. (2) Group of Screamers and Scarlet Ibis. A striking and instructive group, also obtained by the Museum Expedition near Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela. This group contains specimens of both the curious Horned Screamer and Crested Screamer, together with a number of richly col- ored Scarlet Ibis, and forms one of the most attractive groups. (3) Group of American Flamingoes on their breeding ground on the Island of Great Inagua, Bahama Islands. The group shows 7 adult Flamin- goes, with their peculiar cone-shaped nests, eggs, and two young birds in the nest. The painted background shows a continuation of the “rookery”’ which in the Inagua Colony numbered about 1,000 nests. The painted backgrounds of these groups greatly enhance their educa- tional value, as the observer is able to become familiar with the natural environment of the species. During the year the taxidermists have been engaged in preparing an exhibition group of Alaska Moose, which is now nearly ready for installation. Considerable preliminary work has also been done on two other mammal groups, a group of ‘SPUIBYeY “pULIS] BNseUT JvVoID ‘ouDdG “(NNIT) H38NY SNYSLAOOINJOHd “SAIOODNINVI4 NVOINAWY JO dno“D WA BLYWId “SLYOdSY "AYOLSIH IWHYNLVN 4O WNASOW G1314 JAN., 1916. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 29 Olympic Elk and one of the Capybara and Jaguar. A small group of Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrels or ‘Striped Gophers” has been completed and is ready for installation. The exhibition collection of fishes was increased by the addition of a large sectional case con- taining on one side two large and eighteen small groups of Florida fishes, on the other side the same number of groups of fishes from California, the latter including very fine specimens of Salmon. A large group of Flying Fish is in course of preparation. The Wild Turkey group was improved by the substitution of a fine male bird for the younger one temporarily installed when the group was made. In the same way a rather small Canada Goose was removed from the Saskatchewan group and replaced by a fine large old bird. An Asiatic ‘Elephant and a Giraffe, which through age and imperfection were un- desirable for exhibition purposes, have been withdrawn and placed in storage to be sold or exchanged. Throughout the year the reinstalla- tion of the shell exhibit has been carried on by Assistant Curator Ger- hard and Preparator Liljeblad. Four of the new A-cases have been permanently installed, and two more filled temporarily with shells which were glued on tablets last year. In addition, enough shells have been remounted to fill three more cases, for two of which labels are teady. Installing the shells on individual shelves cannot be done so expeditiously as when the specimens are mounted on tablets, for which reason the work is consuming more time than was anticipated. In the division of Osteology 2 skeletons of Porpoise and 7 skulls were degreased at the Whiting degreasing plant; 8 skeletons of animals were prepared for the Osteological study collection and 4 skeletons were remounted; 367 skulls were prepared and cleaned for the Systematic study col- lection. THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. —Early in May 1914, Mr. N. W. Harris offered to bear the expense of an exhibit at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, of a number of cases, typical of those being circulated among the public schools of Chicago, under the auspices of The N. W. Harris Public School Extension of Field Museum of Natural History. This generous offer was approved by the Director and accepted by the President. The Cu- rator was instructed to select such types of cases as would illustrate the nature and character of the work that was being devoted to Museum Extension. He was also instructed to make arrangements for suitable and adequate space for exhibiting the cases, to determine the architec- tural plans for the space, to make all arrangements for packing the cases and shipping same, and to depart for San Francisco in time to install the exhibit at the Exposition for the opening day, February 2oth. Thirty- 30 ‘Frerp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. four cases of natural history and economic subjects were selected and exhibited in the Palace of Education of the Exposition. The space allotted the exhibit, amounting to approximately 1300 square feet, was favorably and prominently located on three well traveled aisles. The exhibition of the cases was supplemented by motion pictures, illustrating the present and future Museum buildings, types of cases on standards, loading cases in delivery car, car leaving Museum, and arriv- ing at school unloading cases, reception of cases in classroom, case on rack in classroom, pupils studying case in classroom and teacher using case as a means of teaching. These views were prefaced with an in- troduction on the cause and scope of the Museum Extension. The ex- hibit and the motion picture theatre were attended daily by large numbers of visitors, whose interests were manifested in many instances, by words of commendation for the work that is being carried on, and praise for the attractive physical features of the cases. Representatives of foreign and American institutions of learning made repeated care- ful and thorough examinations of the exhibit and enquiries as to methods of using the cases in schools. Japan, through its Commissioner General to the Exposition, requested several cases of economic subjects be sent to Tokyo for the purpose of studying them, with a view of intro- ducing similiar cases and the same system in the schools of Japan. Twenty-five thousand illustrated pamphlets describing in brief the Museum Extension, were circulated during the exposition period. Five thousand cards were mailed to educators of the United States and Canada inviting them to inspect the Museum exhibit at the Exposition. Doctor Maria Montessori, internationally known as an educator of children, said of this exhibit in an unsolicited letter. “‘T admire very much the way in which nature is interpreted in this exhibit. The units attract the child’s attention and do not teach errors. “They truly represent nature. Besides, they have added value of permitting prolonged observation of the many details which in nature could only be seen in passing glimpses and to which it would be hard to attract the child’s attention. ‘The knowledge of these facts observed in this way makes the future observation of real nature more interesting to the child. “T consider this collection a most desirable contribution to school work and education generally. I hope that more of these beautiful ex- hibits may be made.”’ In a competitive group this exhibit was awarded the grand prize, the highest award possible. Many additional cases of various buns were prepared during the year, bringing the total number of cases available for circula- “GL6L ‘OOSIONVY4 NYS NOISN3LX3 TOOHOS OI18Nd SINYWH “AA “N SHI 4O LISIHX9 “NOILISOdX4 IWNOILVNYZEN] DISIOVd-VNYNVd AHL LY WNSSNIW a13!14 40 “WA 3LW1d ‘SLYOdSH "AYOLSIH IWHN.LVN 4O WNaSNW qiald JAN., 1916.

While the weight of the delivery car is thought to be heavier than necessary, the designing of the carrying accommodations continues to meet with approval. It has a capacity of 45 cases. Requests for cases have been made by schools and community clubs in towns near Chicago. Delivery of cases was made to about 280 Main Schools. Each of these schools was provided with no less than 6 cases. The Board of Education continues to furnish to the classrooms, the standards upon which the cases are displayed for observation and study.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 1917 To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History: I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum for the year ending December 31, 1917. ‘The progress during the year just closed in the construction of the new Museum building in Grant Park has been important and perceptible. This would naturally appear to be so to the casual observer, because the work has been, so to speak, above ground, but from the standpoint of the architects and general contractors this is also the fact. During the year the inside and outside fill was completed. The setting of the exterior marble commenced in May, and at the end of the year the east and west wings of the building were practically completed as was also the basement work of the north and south entrances. Sixty per cent of both the marble carving and the sculptor marble are complete. The brick work in all the exterior walls is finished up to the roof line, and the interior court walls have been completed to the second floor. There has been difficulty in obtaining brick for the court walls, which accounts for this work not being finished. All the steel floor beams are in place with the exception of the north and south entrances. It is believed that the steel for the roof of the entire building including the nave, but not the entrances, will be in place before April 1918. It is also anticipated that all the roofing including the tile composition and glass work will be _ finished not later than August first. Excellent progress has been made in the plumbing work and approximately fifty per cent of this labor has been completed. The steam fitting has progressed with the other work and about twenty-five per cent of this contract is installed, ex- clusive of the boilers, stokers and coal handling machinery. Levels are continually being taken for signs of settlement or movement, but thus far there has been no moving whatever either horizontally or vertically during construction. With no ceremony and in the presence of only a few of the Trustees and executive officers of the Museum, a copper box was placed in a corner stone of the new building on Friday, September 28, 1917, at 2:00 o'clock P.M. The box contained a typewritten history of the Museum from its inception until the date indicated; a photograph of I51 152 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. Mr. Marshall Field, the founder of the Institution; a photograph of the present Museum building; a copy of Mr. Field’s will; a copy of the proceedings of the first meeting of the reorganized Board of Trustees of the Museum, held January 22, 1894, etc. The sudden death of Mr. Henry Field, grandson of the founder of the Museum, and also the death of Mr. George Everett Adams, both Trustees of the Institution, occurred during the year. Mr. Field had not completed his first year as a Trustee, but had manifested in various ways an interest in and intention to support the plans for the further development and advance of the Museum. Mr. Adams, an old and highly respected citizen of Chicago, was a member of the first Board of Trustees, as he was of the first preliminary committee which resulted in the organization of the Museum. He took great pride in the Institu- tion and was deeply concerned in its welfare. Special mention should be made of further and large additions by Mr. Edward E. Ayer to the Ornithological Library which bears his name. The Chalmers Crystal Collection, through an annuity of $500.00 provided by Mr. William J. Chalmers, has received important additions. A most generous gift of a large, valuable and rare collection of Navaho blankets, Indian baskets, costumes, etc., has been made to the Institu- tion by Mr. Homer E. Sargent. The installation of the Section of Plant Reproduction under the Stanley Field contribution in its new and commodious quarters, fully equipped with all the conveniences and appliances necessary to the work in this section, has been completed. The endowment of the Stanley Field Museum Employees — Pension Fund has been consummated by final payment to the fund of $75,000.00 by its founder. There have been no demands upon the fund thus far. Judge R. M. Barnes of Lacon, Illinois, has accepted the appoint- ment of Assistant Curator of Odlogy. His active services will not begin until the period for installation in the new building is reached. In the meantime, however, Mr. Barnes will prosecute more or less work in his science at his home, where he has a most remarkable collection. The engineers of Graham, Anderson, Probst & White, architects, have made a careful inspection of the present Museum building, and, with the exception of a few instances where minor repairs and altera- tions seemed to be necessary, have found the building safe in every way. Their recommendations for alterations and repairs have been carried out. The attendance at the Museum has not been very large. Continued public interest in the Museum, however, is manifested by the addition of a considerable number of Life Members during the year. FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY REPORTS, PLATE XXVIII. THE LATE HENRY FIELD A_ Trustee of the Museum ‘ a . _ . ? - ——_ . ‘ ‘ JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 153 The influence of the N. W. Harris Public School Extension of Field Museum is widening by continually increasing the number of schools in which the cabinets are placed. In spite of the best efforts of the Extension, however, it is impossible to meet the demands that are made for this educational service. Maintenance. — The Budget authorized by the Board of Trustees provided the sum of $156,911.00 for the maintenance of the Museum for the year ending December 31, 1917. The amount expended was $137,486.00, showing a balance in excess of the estimated expenses of $19,425.00. In addition to this amount $4,626.00 was expended by authority of the Board of Trustees for collections, special building repairs, etc., bringing the total expenditures for the year to $142,112.00. PusLications.— During the year six Publications were issued, com- prising parts of four volumes, details of which follow: Pub. 191.— Zodlogical Series, Vol. X, No. 15. The Fishes of the Fresh Waters of Panama. By S. E. Meek and S. F. Hildebrand. December 28, 1916. 159 pages, 16 halftones. Edition 1500. Pub. 192.— Anthropological Series, Vol. XV, No. 2. The Beginnings of Porcelain in China. By B. Laufer. 1917. 106 pages, : 7 halftones. Edition 1500. Pub. 193.— Zodlogical Series, Vol. XII, No. 1. Notes on little known Species of South American Birds with Descriptions of New Sub-Species. By C. B. Cory. January, 1917. 7 pages. Edition 1500. Pub. 194.— Report Series, Vol. V, No. 2. Annual Report of the Director for the year 1916. 71 pages, 11 halftones. Edition 2500. Pub. 195.— Anthropological Series, Vol. VI, No. 4. Three Etruscan Painted Sarcophagi. By F. B. Tarbell. 9 pages, 9 halftones. Edition 1,000. Pub. 196.— Ornithological Series. Vol. 1, No. 11. Contents and In- dex to Vol. I. 16 pages. 1896-1916. Edition 1,000. It will be noted that number 11 concludes Volume I of the Ornitho- logical Series. It also closes this Series. All future Ornithological Pub- lications will appear in the Zodlogical Series. These publications were distributed to individuals and institutions on the domestic mailing list and to those of foreign countries where exchange service is not suspended by the Bureau of International Exchanges. The nature of some of the Publications, as well as the increasing cost of all of them necessitated the re-classification of the mailing list. This has caused an elimination of some exchanges from which the Museum does not receive returns, and in sending to others previously receiving all the Publications, only such as are of special 154 Fretp Museum or Natura History — Reports, Vot. V. interest to their work. In taking account of the sales of the Publications, it is interesting to note the increasing number sold to individuals and institutions as well as to booksellers. The stock of Publications and halftones was moved during the year from Room 64 to Room 11. Two more cabinets were purchased to accommodate the halftones and zinc etchings that are filed numerically to date. THE Lisrary.— The books and pamphlets accessioned during the year were 1,641, bringing the total number of books and pamphlets in the Library to 71,316, which are distributed as follows: General Library {2s 26-00 CR ee ea ee ae Department of Anthropolo Eat ook Perel RRR Ne ee Sei ec 3,553 Depastmentot; Botany, so rer ga) (ES eee aa 7,193 Department ofGeology.< 5 5). 224s) bos dake 0b Loa ees Departmentiofi Zoology; ce 0 esta ei) sea een 4,557 The operations in the Library during the year were largely normal in character and the routine work has gone on without interruption. The resources of the Library continue to be taxed by the members of the scientific staff for material desired in their research work and in the quest for information in working up collections for reference or exhibition that have been received without data. The fourth year of the war brings a great decrease in the literary output of all foreign countries, especially in works on natural sciences. Exchanges have practically ceased with some foreign countries, and from others receipts have been irregular. Notwithstanding these conditions, there has been a gratifying increase of accessions over last year of two hundred and fifty books and pamphlets. The outstanding event of the year is the purchases made and presented by Mr. Edward E. Ayer of many rare and beautifully illustrated works for The Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library. Among these are: Gould, Icones Avium, 2 parts, 1837-38; Gray, Genera of Birds, 3 volumes, 1844-49, one of the works that rank in beauty of execution with Gould’s and Audubon’s works already in this library; Edwards, Natural History Birds, 4 volumes, 1802-6; Bufton, Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux, 20 volumes, 1770-86; Booth, Rough Notes on Birds, 3 volumes; Thorburn, British Birds, 4 volumes, 1915-16; Swainson, Birds of Brazil and Mexico, 1841; Thienemann, Die Végel Europas, 1825; Levaillant, Oiseaux d’Amérique et des Indes, volume 1, 1801; Oates and Blanford, Fauna of British India, including Ceylon and Burma. Birds, 4 volumes, 1889-98. Subscription was entered to Mathews’ wonderfully illustrated ‘‘Birds of Australia” of which five complete volumes and five numbers of volume VI have been received. Eighteen orders for books have been filled, adding fifty-four books and pamphlets to the Departmental Libraries. Among those JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 155 purchased are: Petrus Peregrinus de Magnate, a facsimile, 1900; Gray, China; Sykes, History of Persia; Steele, Translation from the Chinese of the I-li; Joly, Legend in Japanese Art; Audsley, Gems of Japanese Art; Shaw, Zodlogy; Waterhouse, Mammalia, pt. 2, 1839; Van Wijks, Dictionary of Plant Names, volume II. Subscriptions were also entered for ‘‘Mythology of all Races” and Hastings’ “‘Encyclopedia of Re- ligion.” The periodical list is temporarily disorganized, as no subscrip- tions for a number of the foreign periodicals and serials are accepted at the present time by the agencies. During the year four hundred and- thirty-seven books were received from the bindery. For the various catalogues 17,873 cards were written and filed. Two more sections were added to the card catalogue cabinets to accommodate the increase. Another bookcase was placed in the general reading room. The library again acknowledges its indebtedness to the City’s libraries, to the Library of Congress, and the United States Medical Library for loan of books required by the scientific staff in the prosecution of their work. The number of people who visit the general library for the purpose of consulting its books shows an increase over previous years. DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LABELING. —— The work of cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology has been carried on with vigor during the year, the total number of catalogue cards prepared amounting to 6,119. These cards are distributed over the various divisions as follows: Jewelry from India 80; Archaeology of China and Tibet 196; Melanesian Ethnology 4,064; American Archaeology and Ethnology 1,121; Physical Anthropology 658. All these cards have been entered in the inventory books of the Department, which now number 38. The number of annual accessions amounts to 21, thirteen of which have been entered. The total number of cards entered from the opening of the first volume amounts to 147,670. A total number of 6,430 labels was turned out by the printer for use in the exhibition cases of the Department. These are distributed over the divisions as follows: ‘Gunsaulus Collection of Sword-Guards 3,544; Philippine Ethnology 2,207; Melanesian Ethnology 113; Mexican and Central American Archaeology 546; Egyptian Pottery 16; Salish Ethnology 4. The printer supplied the Department with 2,575 catalogue cards. Several new label cards were added to the label file. In the Department of Botany all prepared and organized material received during the year has been specifically catalogued. The entries made number 15,933, bringing the total entries to 469,736. This Department has written 4,145 labels for specimens sent out in exchange with other institutions. Of these 64 were of the economic material and 4,081 herbarium specimens. 156 Frerp Museum or Natura History — Reports, VoL. V. All accessions received by the Department of Geology have been fully catalogued. The largest number of additions in any division was that to the paleontological collections, which show an increase of 3,745 specimens. The total number of entries made during the year was) 5,246, bringing the total entries to 139,919. A total of 7,878 cards have been written. The labeling of the meteorite collection has been completed, 578 labels having been made and installed during the year for this purpose. Other series labeled are those of Chilean copper ores and Brazilian gold and iron ores. A total of 361 labels have been written during the year and 775 labels are ready to be printed. To the Departmental series of photographs, 163 prints were added, making a total of 2,911. All of these prints have been labeled, numbered and placed in albums in the order of their receipt. The regular cataloguing of the collection of mammals in the Depart- ment of Zoology has proceeded as usual. The relatively small number of accessions has made it possible to devote considerable time to the revision and completion of early records and to the segregation of material unaccompanied by authentic data. A total of 432 original catalogue entries were made during the year. In the classified card catalogue, 1,500 cards were written in Mammalogy, which included a considerable proportion substituted for temporary cards made some years ago before the collections had been fully classified. Separate indexes are now maintained of (1) the general study or reference collec- tion of mammals; (2) the collection of mammals on exhibition; (3) the mammal skeletons in addition to those of Osteology; (4) the dressed skins of large mammals kept in special storerooms. With the exception of those of the dressed skins, these catalogues are now practically all revised and completed to date. The serial or synoptic collection of mammals on exhibition has been reclassified and new labels have been written throughout. Careful consideration of the matter of tagging and labeling the specimens in the Division of Ichthyology and Herpetology in the most efficient manner, resulted in the pur- chase of a numbering machine for stamping of tin tags, and in printing a uniform series of labels, to be placed against the inner side of the jars. The catalogue in this Division has been rearranged and is being rewritten as the study of the collections proceeds. Over 1,000 labels for the reinstallation of the shell cases were prepared. The entries made in the Department of Zoology numbered 1,024, bring- ing the total to 99,699. The cards written number 1,654, making a total of 34,122. The following table shows the work performed on catalogues and the inventorying accomplished: JAN., 1918.

Ayer a rectangular cooking vessel and a large house lamp, both of steatite and both representing types from the Eskimo east of Point Barrow, Alaska, entirely new to the collection in the Museum. Mr. Ayer also presented a metate of Mexican type and a muller dug up some years ago at San Juan Capistrano, southern California. This is a fine specimen of perfect workmanship and superior to similar objects heretofore possessed by the Museum. Mr. Charles F. Rauchfuss of River Forest made an important addition to the Illinois archaeological collections of the Museum by his gift of 250 specimens, chiefly chipped objects, from Pope County. Mr. Homer E. Sargent presented to the Museum a small collection of Salish basketry, which will be of value in the study of technique, materials, and designs of that region. This collection was made in connection with a new research into Indian basketry initiated and patronized by Mr. Sargent. With the exception of the Stanley McCormick gifts resulting in the Hopi collections, no Southwest accession is comparable to the recent gift of Mr. Homer E. Sargent, the most prominent accession of the year. This group of eighty textiles presents the result of judicious and dis- criminative collecting extended with tact and taste over a period of more than ten years, and includes a great deal of material that at this time would not be obtainable. It comprises 37 Hopi and Navaho blankets of old designs, many of them bayetas; 9 Navaho squaw dresses of excellent weave and varying decorative motives; 6 Navaho woman’s mantles; 1 Navaho man’s woven shirt; 2 Chimayo blankets; 1 two-faced Mexican serape; 5 very rare Pueblo woman’s ceremonial robes; 7 mantles or shawls from the same region; 2 fine Zufii dresses; 3 Pueblo woman’s belts; 4 ceremonial kilts for men; 2 ceremonial sashes and other articles of the Southwest weaver’s skill. Aside from their historical and ethno- logical significance, many of these textiles have decidedly artistic merits and qualities both as to design and coloration, and may compete with the best productions in Oriental rugs. The album presented by Mr. Tokumatsu Ito is deserving of especial mention. It contains 92 ancient wood-engravings representing favorite deities of the Japanese pantheon and sold by the temples to devotees and pilgrims, who keep 158 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. these pictures as charms. This is a unique collection made in the course of many years, and its value is enhanced by a complete transliteration and translation of the legends printed on the engravings, which Mr. Ito himself has kindly supplied. A recent purchase comprises about 390 Eskimo objects acquired by Mr. Petersen at Nome, Alaska, during his residence there. The whole collection adds materially to the strength of present exhibits from the Arctic regions. It is especially notable for the great variety of fine mammoth and walrus ivories, and small ivory objects, as carved hair combs, labrets, animal carvings, float plugs, belt fastenings, dart heads, etc., along with many fine larger artifacts. Also some grave material is included in this collection. The collections from the Far East were enriched by the purchase of six exquisite cere- monial ivory tablets secured by Dr. John C. Ferguson, state counsellor of the Chinese Government. These specimens are exceedingly rare, and can be obtained only from high officials who inherited them from their forefathers. They come down from the Ming dynasty (1368-1643), and were used by dignitaries of rank for jotting down memoranda and to be held in their hands at audiences with the emperor. The most notable accession of the year in the field of Latin American archaeology was a collection of artifacts from the region of Casas Grandes, Northern Mexico. These were excavated by Captains J. W. Wright and A. T. Cooper at Colonia Dublan, head-quarters of the American punitive expedition, and presented to the Museum through General Pershing. The collection consists principally of stone implements, and includes several of the large rectangular trough-shaped metates, characteristic of this region, which are of considerable interest and very rarely seen in museums. The Department of Botany received the following important additions to its herbarium series during the year: The private herbarium of John Murdoch, Jr., presented to the Museum by his widow. It con- tains 3,322 sheets of plants, principally his personal collections in Massachusetts, Colorado, California and South Dakota. Other notable accessions were: Ames’ Orchids 84; Bebb, Illinois 174; Blanchard, Vermont and District of Columbia 235; Britton, Britton & Wilson, Cuba and Isle of Pines 763; Collins, Bermuda 259; Cook, Canary Islands 383; Fernald, Newfoundland 292; Furness, Mexico 91; Gates, Illinois 1,447; Gaumer, Yucatan 760; Gronemann, Illinois 125; Heller, California and Oregon 403; Hill, Illinois and Indiana 1,769; King, Massachusetts 181; Lansing, Illinois 293; Leiberg, Oregon 514; Letter- man, Missouri 285; Levine, China 1,046; McDonald, Illinois 111; Ridgeway, Illinois 169; Roosevelt African Expedition 135; Standley, Florida 102; Stewart, Galapagos 154; Vasey, Illinois 238; and Walker, JAN., 1918.

V. as follows: Through a fund generously donated by Mr. William J. Chalmers, about sixty specimens of crystals have been added to the © Chaimers collection. Up to this time this collection, which was first exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1900, had received only a few additions, but the increase made this year and the announced inten- tion of Mr. Chalmers to continue its active enlargement, will result in forming a very superior collection. Among the specimens added to the collection this year was a well-formed octahedron of diamond from South Africa nearly an inch in length and weighing 209/16 carats. Through the kind offices of Mr. Chalmers also, a donation of 108 speci- mens of the copper ores and minerals of the Chuquicamata district in Chile was received from the Chile Exploration Company of Chuqui- camata, Chile. The series presented includes specimens of oxide ores from the veins, sulphide ores from the veins, and oxide, sulphide and mixed ores from the steam-shovel workings. Chalcocite, enargite, chalcopy- rite, bornite, malachite, cuprite, brochantite, kréhnkite and atacamite are among the minerals represented. By thus affording a representation of the ores of one of the most notable copper districts of the world, this series forms an important addition to the collection. Mr. W. J. Chalmers was also instrumental in securing from the St. John del Rey Mining Company, Ltd., of Morro Velho, Brazil, through Mr. George Chalmers, Superintendent, a series numbering about forty specimens, of the ores and rocks of some of the chief gold mines in Brazil. The series received included typical ores and rocks of the Morro Velho mine, well known as the deepest gold mine in the world; a full repre- sentation of the gold and iron ores of the Gongo Secco and Serro do Curral mines showing especially the peculiar itabirite and jacutinga ores; and specimens of gold ores and country rocks from the Cuyaba and Raposos mines. Full descriptions and a map accompanied the specimens. These series add much of value to the Museum ore collec- tions. A large collection containing many attractive specimens, con- sisting chiefly of copper minerals from mines in the Lake Superior district, but including also important specimens of Arizona copper minerals, Cripple Creek gold ores, etc., was presented by Nathan F. and Alfred F. Leopold. A specimen of sheet copper partly removed from the matrix, a sickle-shaped mass of copper over two feet in length showing many crystal planes, and an unusual specimen of malachite, are perhaps the most remarkable things in the collection. There are also included specimens of many kinds of occurrences of native copper, many of them crystallized, of calcite and copper, tellurides of gold, arsenides of copper, amethyst, etc. As many of the specimens were obtained from mines or localities no longer accessible, they have an your ouo spenbs yoojz of ‘apvos 904 LV3ad ¥ OL 3XV7 IWIOVID V 4O NOISHSANOO ONILVYLSNTT| 1SGOW “INAXX ALW1d ‘SLYOdSHY AYOLSIH IWHNLYN 4O WNASNW Q13I4 JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 163 added value and importance on this account. This collection numbered 450 specimens. Through the kindness of Mr. Alpheus F. Williams, General Manager of the De Beers Consolidated Mines Company of Kimberley, South Africa, there was received from that Company an interesting collection showing the rocks and minerals which accompany the diamond in its occurrence at Kimberley. Some of the minerals, such as zircon, olivine and garnet, received in this collection were of gem quality. Specimens of the concentrates from which the diamond is obtained were also included. The rocks received included melaphyre, eclogite, shale, diabase, ‘‘blue ground,” and others indicating the char- acter of the formation from which the diamonds are obtained. Another valuable gift received was a collection of about 3,600 specimens of invertebrate fossils and minerals from Charles F. Rauchfuss. The fos- sils were principally from formations of Chester age in southern Illinois, a region which before had been little represented in the collections. The series of Pentremites and Archimedes in this collection was espe- cially large and comprehensive, the Pentremites numbering nearly a thousand specimens representing five determined and several un- _ determined species, and the Archimedes numbering about one hundred specimens representing at least ten species. A large series numbering about one thousand specimens representing more than seventy-five species of fossil brachiopods from the Chester and other formations was also included, and there were about four hundred specimens represent- ing seventy-five species of fossil corals chiefly from the Falls of the Ohio. A number of producers of bog marl and similar substances used in the manufacture of Portland cement in neighboring states, kindly donated specimens of this material in order to increase the representa- tion of these products in the Museum. The courtesy of the following firms is gratefully acknowledged in this connection: Peerless Portland Cement Company, New Egyptian Portland Cement Company, Neway- go Portland Cement Company, New Aetna Portland Cement Company Peninsular Portland Cement Company, and Wolverine Portland Cement Company. Small collections of ores and minerals were presented by Mrs. J. B. Ludlow and C. W. Pomeroy. Mr. Fred Patee presented a number of specimens of highly modified hematite crystals from a new locality in New Mexico. Several valuable accessions were received through exchange. From Yale University there were thus received a beautifully preserved skull with jaws and a partial skeleton of the short- legged, aquatic rhinoceros, Teleoceras. This was from the well-known locality at Long Island, Kansas. Besides its excellent state of preserva- tion the form is of interest as being that of the last representative of the rhinoceros family in America. From Amherst College there was received 164 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. by exchange a partial skeleton of the fossil camel Stenomylus from Nebraska, and a pair of jaws and pelvis of Leontina, a large South American ungulate. A well-preserved skull of the Permian reptile, Diplocaulus, was obtained from the University of Chicago by exchange. From W. T. Watkin-Brown of Sydney, Australia, twenty-two specimens of Australian minerals were received by exchange. These included rare examples of native bismuth, bismuthinite, molybdenite and feldspars such as ordinarily cannot be readily obtained. Eleven specimens of an interesting occurrence of pyrite from Rolla, Missouri, were obtained from R. S. Dean by exchange, and a brilliant specimen of artificial bismuth crystals from William Thum by the same means. Twenty specimens of minerals were purchased, the most important being two showy specimens of violet apatite crystals from Maine and two large specimens of the newly discovered vanadium minerals hewettite and meta-hewettite. Among specimens acquired by collection may be mentioned 432 specimens of the Colby meteorite and twenty-four speci- mens of sand-carved boulders from Maine. A noteworthy acquisition in the Department of Zoology during the year was the donation, from Mrs. Anna Sala Makovickyi of Oak Park, Illinois, of a collection containing approximately 2,700 domestic and exotic butterflies, moths and beetles gathered by her former husband, Mr. August Sala. Mr. Hugh T. Birch of Chicago presented to the Museum a cabinet of drawers containing 258 specimens of butterflies moths and beetles, mainly from Colombia, $. A. To Mr. B. Preston Clark of Boston, the Museum is again indebted for some very desirable additions to its series of sphinx moths. The specimens of mammals received from the Collins-Day South American Expedition were acces- sioned during the year. The synoptic collection of mammals received a number of additions, mostly of species of small size. These include the Cape Jumping Hare, Parry’s Ground Squirrel, Zulia Squirrel, Redwood Chipmunk, Prairie Hare, Roof Rat, White-footed Mouse, Red-backed Mouse, and Lemming Mouse. A few specimens of mam- mals, from French Guiana, were purchased. An important accession of birds was secured by purchase from W. H. Rosenberg of London, England, consisting of 404 skins, representing many rare species from South America, nearly all of which were new to the Museum collection. Mr. T. L. Hankinson donated an interesting series of fresh- water fishes from Cuba and Florida, and Mr. Paul D. Ruthling presented some salamanders and lizards from southern California. An important accession consists of specimens of fishes, amphibians, and reptiles from California collected by the Assistant Curator. In this consignment were included the most complete single collection of tide _ JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 165 pool fishes ever made in that state, and a series of desirable fishes, mostly from Japan, presented by Stanford University. The accessions may be summarized as follows: Purchases: 41 mammals and 404 birds; By gift: 169 mammals, 5 birds, 1 nest and eggs, 213 fishes, 3,000 insects and 223 shells; By exchange: 6 fishes; By expeditions: 379 fishes and 180 insects. EXPEDITIONS AND FIELD Work. — Several short trips were made by the various members of the staff of the Department of Botany to Indiana and northern Illinois, for the purpose of obtaining living plant material for the Section of Reproduction. The Curator accompanied by an assistant made a day’s trip to the interesting lake shore region between Waukegan and Beach, Illinois, on which they collected 56 plants for the herbarium. Preparator Lansing visited the Galena region, in Jo Daviess County, [llinois, collecting 205 plants for the herbarium and 414 for exchange purposes. A trip was made by the Curator of Geology to Colby, Wisconsin, in order to secure specimens of the meteorite which fell there on July 4th. By excavating the soil at the point of fall the Curator succeeded in collecting about 20 pounds of the meteorite in the form of fragments which had been naturally formed by its shattering in striking the earth. There were 432 fragments so obtained, some of them being over 100 grams in weight. A large piece of a second individual, which fell about half a mile distant, was also secured. In addition photographs were made at the point of fall and descriptions of the phenomena of the fall obtained from a number of eye-witnesses. A remarkable deposit of wind-carved boulders in Maine was visited by the Curator and twenty-four speci- mens illustrating typical results of wind-action collected from the deposits. Some specimens illustrating glacial river phenomena were also collected in the same vicinity and about thirty photographs illustrating glacial phenomena made. The Assistant Curator of Geology spent ten days at Natural Bridge, Virginia, securing material and data for a model of the Natural Bridge. Besides taking more than one hundred photo- graphs, he made a stadia survey of the region and plane-table surveys _ of portions of special importance. It is expected that with this data _ it will be possible to make a model which will be an accurate and faithful teplica of Nature. The survey made by the Assistant Curator is, so far as known, the first detailed survey of the Bridge that has been accom- plished since that conducted by Thomas Jefferson shortly after the close of his term as President. The courtesy and codperation of Mr. T. H. Gurney of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad contributed materially to the success of the undertaking, as did also that of Mr. J. A. Mundy, President of the Bridge Company, who arranged for free admission to 166 Frecp Museum or NATURAL History — Reports, VoL. V. the Bridge grounds, and provided the services of one of his employees as rodman. The Assistant Curator also spent two days in the northern Illinois lake region making detailed studies of the floating bogs of these lakes and their peat and marl deposits, in order to obtain data for making a model of a glacial lake. Besides the study material brought in, some additions to the permanent collections were thus procured. In October the Assistant Curator of Ichthyology and Herpetology, accompanied by Taxidermist Pray, spent nearly two weeks in Wis- consin collecting material for exhibition purposes, the work being carried on along the Mississippi River, chiefly on Lake Pepin. 60 specimens for mounting were obtained, representing twenty-seven of the important food fishes of the Mississippi Valley. This material will cover the larger part of at least one side of a panel case, and will serve as the basis of three or four groups, for which the accessory material was also gathered. The success of this expedition depended to a considerable degree upon the cooperation of certain members of the Association of Commercial Fishermen and Clammers. Upon the request of the Association, the Museum sent as a loan a collection of twenty-two mounted food fishes, with labels, to the annual meeting of this organiza- tion held in La Crosse on November 3oth. The fishes were also exhibited in the High School of that city. On three different occasions the lagoon in Jackson Park, adjacent to the Museum, was seined and numerous specimens were obtained, some of which have been mounted for exhibi- tion. The Assistant Curator has collected a considerable number of local fishes, amphibians, and reptiles in the vicinity of Chicago while engaged in his work for the exhibition series. Frequent one-day trips were made and one week in August was spent in the sand dunes of Indiana collecting material for this Division. As soon as the summer had advanced sufficiently to make collecting profitable, a number of field trips were made for insect group material by the Assistant Curator of Entomeology and his assistant. For this purpose Palos Park, Illinois, was visited at intervals in order to obtain specimens, particularly dragonflies, and accessories for a group illustrating the insect life of ponds. To represent the most conspicuous insects found in the vicinity of small, running streams, the region between New Lenox and Joliet was likewise visited at intervals. Toward the end of summer several trips were made to Edgebrook and other nearby places for material suitable for a group of tomato worm moths. Several days were also spent at Miller, Indiana, in order to secure the insects and accessories typical of sand areas, but, as the collecting season had already well advanced, it was not possible to secure a series of some of the early stages of the most characteristic forms. As a result of these trips enough JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 167 material, including accessories and photographs suitable for back- grounds, has been obtained for two, probably three, habitat groups and one of an economic nature. In addition to the group material, a number of duplicate specimens were gathered for the serial collection. INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT. — All instal- lation of cases in the Department of Anthropology during the year was carried on systematically with strict regard to conditions in the new building and in accordance with the newly adopted and approved plan of arrangement in the new quarters. The principle of avoiding duplication as far as possible and setting quality above quantity has been applied consistently. Duplicate material is now divided into two groups, designated as study and exchange collections. The study collections are treated on the same basis as the public exhibits, receiving the same care and attention, and will be made accessible to specialists and students. Detailed lists have been prepared of all collections available for exchange. A total of 55 cases has been installed, six of these being four-foot cases, and nearly all of them being completely labeled. The material installed in these cases is distributed over the various divisions as follows: Melanesian Ethnology 1 case; Philippine Ethnology 37 cases; American Ethnology 3 cases; Mexican Archaeology 5 cases; Jewelry of India 1 case; Japanese Sword-Guards 2 cases; and Egyptian Archaeology 6 cases. The case added to the Joseph N. Field Hall illustrates hunting, fishing and miscellaneous industries of New Britain. As soon as the cataloguing of the collections from New Guinea, now under way, is completed, the installation of this Hall will be rounded out. In accordance with the new policy laid down for instal- lation and following the definite assignment of space in the new building, the Philippine collections were carefully overhauled so as to bring out to greatest advantage the characteristic traits of the various tribes without needless duplication of material. This necessitated the re- organization and relabeling of a large part of the cases on exhibition. ‘However, the results are gratifying; the number of exhibition cases having been reduced from 127 to 79 without any characteristic culture being omitted, and without any essential features being sacrificed. Many labels have been rewritten, and much new information added, while the exhibits in their general appearance have been greatly im- proved, and, owing to the process of condensation, have gained in clear and direct representation. Various re-arrangements were further made in eight cases, and labels were added to about ten others. All cases of the Philippine collection were placed in new order according to the geographical distribution of tribes. The duplicate material withdrawn from exhibition has been divided into two groups; one for study pur- 168 Fretp Museum or Natura History — Reports, VoL. V. poses and the other for exchange. A life-size group of six figures has been completed and is ready for exhibition in the new building. This group illustrates the production of cloth by the Bagobo of Mindanao in the various stages of manufacture, from the stripping of the so-called Manila hemp (Musa textilis), through the overtying and dyeing of the threads, to the weaving and polishing of the cloth. It will be an inter- esting addition to the Philippine Hall. The labeling of the African col- lection installed last year was completed during the summer. One case of Hopi head-dresses for ceremonial occasions has been installed in the East Court. Additional accessions of Hupa, Yurok and Karok festival dress and head plumes have necessitated the expansion of the old case containing varied ceremonial paraphernalia into two cases, one of woman’s festival attire, and the other of costumes grouped according to the dances in which they were used. The entire Mexican collection is now being overhauled, grouped according to culture areas and tribes, and permanently installed. Specimens not selected for exhibition are reserved as study collections, and duplicates are listed for possible future exchange. The receipt of the Pershing Collection has neces- sitated a reinstallation of the two cases of Casas Grandes pottery pre- sented last year by Mr. Homer E. Sargent, in order to permit a com- bination of the two as an integral unit. In addition have been installed a case of archaeological material from the Totonac and Huaxtec region of Vera Cruz, containing the well-sculptured stone yokes typical of this region, a four-foot case containing the best large stone sculptures from the Valley of Mexico from various collections, and two cases illustrating the ethnology of the Tarahumare, Tepehuane, and Tarascan, principally from the Lumholtz Collection. All cases are completely labeled as installed. Jewelry collected by G. A. Dorsey in British India has been installed in a wall-case of the Gem Room. The Gunsaulus collection of Japanese sword-guards and sword-fittings, described in the last annual report, has been installed in two standard cases, temporarily placed in Alcove 122 of the North Court. One of the cases contains 468 objects, the other 373, arranged on narrow shelves in such a way that each piece can be plainly viewed and studied from both sides. This is important, as the majority of sword-guards are decorated or inscribed both on the obverse and reverse. For this reason, each sword-guard had to be supplied with two labels, one explaining the obverse, the other the reverse. There is reason to believe that this is the first attempt in any museum to display sword-guards in a rational and intelligent manner. In general, a chronological principle of arrangement has been adopted, but within the various periods groups of art-schools and subjects are singled out, so that this material becomes a fit object-lesson for the JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 169 study of the development of Japanese design and art-motives. Plans have been laid out for the re-organization of the Egyptian collection and its adaptation to the new surroundings, for which the old-style cases proved unfit. Six standard cases are now completed, and comprise stone tomb tablets, portrait statuary, and statuettes, vases carved from alabaster and other stone, and pottery, the latter filling two cases. One of these contains vessels of the Prehistoric Empire, of Ptolemaic and Roman times, along with amphorae and ostraca col- lected by Mr. Ayer. The other case comprises Greek, Cypriote and Coptic pottery, Roman vessels and lamps of clay, Menas flasks and other amphorae. All this material is now displayed to greater advantage and in conformity with modern methods. On January 11, Hall 11 adjoining the South Court was vacated to make room for the storage of publications, which required a re-arrangement and adjustment of the cases illustrating the ethnology of the Kwakiutl and Tlingit. The house- posts and 3 cases were placed in Hall 12. One case of Athapascan ethnology from Alcove 109, South Court, was placed in Hall 4. Two cases from Hall 11 were transferred to Alcove 109, South Court. One case from Hall 11 was removed to Alcove 111, South Court, along with a Tlingit case from Alcove 109. The case showing house-models was placed in Hall to. Material from Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia was placed in storage in Hall 69. After the new arrangement of the Philippine section, the East Annex was cleared of all new or vacant cases, scattered around in the various halls, and those are now con- centrated in Hall 37. Four old Geology cases containing pottery and Gilbert Island armor of the Joseph N. Field Collections were stripped of their contents which were placed in permanent storage cases in Hall 68. The requisitioned cases were transferred to other departments of the Museum. The two Peabody wall-cases in Alcove 122, North Court, containing collections from India, were stored in Halls 68 and 69. Other material from India, including the wooden carvings long stored in the East Annex, has been placed in permanent storage in Hall 69. The contents of six standard cases of the oldest type in Hall 4, con- taining Eskimo ethnology, was transferred to standard cases of more recent make. The former cases will be used in the display of Mexican archaeology now being installed. As fast as the Peabody cases in the East Court have been vacated for re-installation, they have been used for storage in the West Annex of all study and exchange material, thus housing the specimens in less space and more safely than here- tofore. Re-arrangements were made in g cases, and 61 cases were poisoned. Over 600 specimens, chiefly from the South Sea Islands, Philippine Islands, Egypt and Mexico, were repaired or treated dur- 170 Frerp MusEeum oF Naturat History — Reports, Voi. V. ing the year. More than 11,000 new numbers have been marked on specimens. In the Department of Botany the following 14 cases have been installed, labeled in full, and placed on exhibition: Of the American Forestry Series: Pride-of-China tree, Oregon Yew; Garry’s Oak, Buck- wheat tree; Hercules’ club, Oregon Elder; Service tree, Southern Cherry; Oregon Crab-apple, Bitter Cherry; Sitka Willow, Wild Crab-apple; Myrtle Oak, Wild Plum; Devil-wood, Georgia Bark; Striped Maple, Mountain Laurel; Vine Maple, Yaupon. Of the Systematic Series: Two cases displaying the characteristic products and utilization of Sea- weeds; one case illustrating the economic products of the Soapwort family; and one case devoted to the botany and economics of the Spikenard family. A number of cases have been reinstalled to accom- modate plant reproductions or new and specially interesting specimens. In many instances installed cases have been rearranged to better display their contents. Through the interest and munificence of Mr. Stanley Field, the Section of Plant Reproduction was reéstablished, in con- nection with the Department of Botany. Five well-lighted connecting laboratories were constructed in the West Annex of the Museum building designed to accommodate a Biologist, a Glass-worker, an Artist, an Assembler, and a Caster in wax and plaster. The rooms were finished and equipped with apparatus in February. Dr. Dahlgren, the former Biologist in charge, accepted the Assistant Curatorship of Economic Botany in March, and the Museum succeeded in selecting and organizing the working staff on the lines previously employed in this unique and representative work. The training of the staff, each in his special craft, began about the middle of March and actual opera- tions began the first of April. The end of the year finds the following reproductions completed and installed: The Pine Family: a specially preserved natural branch of Georgia Pine, accompanied by an enlarged male ament, a highly magnified anther, an enlarged female ‘‘cone”’ and magnified pistillate scale. The Pitcher-Plant Family: a complete, natural-size plant of Sarracenia 7m situ in bog-moss, a separate flower opened to show the arrangement of the reproductive organs, and two enlarged sections of the ovary. The Grass Family: a panicle and enlarged spikelet of Oats, accompanied by an enlarged flower at anthesis and a highly enlarged developing grain. The Cactus Family: a com- plete, natural-size plant of the Dune Cactus in flower, young bud and fruit, accompanied by a somewhat enlarged sectional flower and a transverse section of the ovary. The Spikenard Family: a complete, natural-size plant of Ginseng in full ripe fruit and retaining its char- acteristic root. The Spurge Family: the complete upper portion of a JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 171 large Castor-bean plant in full leaf, flower and ripe fruit; associated with enlarged models of a male cluster and female flower in section and a transverse section of the ovary. The Waterlily Family: a strikingly natural portion of a “Lotus bed’’ comprising life-size leaves in all stages of expansion, developing flower-buds, fruits and fully expanded flowers. The Mahogany Family: a natural-size branch of the Mahogany tree in full leaf and ripe fruit. The Dog’s-Bane Family: a complete natural-size top of an Oleander bush with three branches in full flower and one in ripening fruit; associated with this is an enlarged flower of the Dog’s bane sectioned to reveal the peculiar arrangement of the essential organs, and a transverse section of the ovary. The Blue- Green Algae: a model, in glass, of Nostoc (highly magnified) and a sim- ilarly produced model of Rivularia. The Green Algae: a complete natural-size reproduction, in glass, of a species of Caulerpa. During the period of production of the above the following reproductions and models were in process and are now nearing completion: A natural-size plant of Poison Ivy, in full leaf and flower, and an autumnal branch in full ripe fruit and colorate leaf; a large portion of a Trumpet-creeper vine in full leaf, flower and fruit; the terminal portion of a Bittersweet vine in full autumnal foliage and ripe fruit and a small branch in flower; a large branch of Witch-hazel in autumnal foliage, ripe fruit and flower; a large branch of the Sassafras tree in full leaf and fruit; and a complete male plant of Nepenthes in leaf, pitcher and flower. Accessory repro- ductions of specialized fruits, with a leaf or two attached to the stems, are produced as opportunity offers. Of these the Cocoon Fruit (Fevillea), of the Melon family, has been finished and installed; and the peculiar fruits of the Sausage Tree and the Wax Candle tree are in process. All the reproductions and models are made from living plants only and are fabricated from such materials as are permanent and will best simulate the transparency, freshness and texture of each special organ. In order that the full character of this work may be comprehended in this connection a recapitulation of the work accomplished previous to Mr. Field’s contribution for the maintenance of the Section, may not be out of place in this report. The other plant families now represented, aside from the above, are: The Orchid Family: a complete, natural- size Vanilla vine, in full leaf, flower and mature fruit, accompanied by a large Cattleya flower and enlarged essential organs; The Milkweed Family: a complete, natural-size plant of the common Milk-weed in full leaf, fruit and flower-heads, accompanied by an enlarged flower, stamen, and a leg of a fly carrying a pollen sac; The Gingko Family: a large, natural-size branch of the Maidenhair tree in full leaf and ripe fruit.

The Diatoms: a monograph reproducting nine typical species and illustrating the method of conjugation, colonization, and the production of resting-spores; The Conjugatae: a monographic display reproducing ten unicellular and multicellular species also illustration of conjugation in the unicellular type and the formation and ejection of zoospores in the multicellular forms; The Liverworts: a natural-size colony of Marchantia, with enlarged male and female reproductive organs and a series of highly magnified reproductions illustrating both forms of generation; The Horsetails: natural-size reproductions of a whole sterile vegetative shoot, a complete male shoot and a magnified section of a sterile “‘cone,’’ also a cluster of sporophores. A number of other pieces were produced and installed awaiting further reproductions in the families to which they pertain. They are: The Pepper Family: a reproduction of a bundle of fresh leaves of the Betel Pepper such as are sold in Malayan markets; The Arrow-Root Family: five natural- size flowers of Thalia so disposed as to reveal the peculiar development for fertilization; The Pineapple Family: a natural-size branch of a Calabash tree, in full leaf, acting as host for a colony of Tillandsias; The Ginger Family: reproduction of a full size, fresh, ripe fruit of the Cardamom as sold in Malayan markets as a vegetable; The Gamboge Family: a leafy tip of a branch of the Mangosteen bearing a full-ripe fruit, three sections of the fruit showing the disposition of the pulp and seeds; The Fig Family: the tip of a leafing Osage Orange branch bear- ing two mature fruits; The Caper Family: an enlarged Spider-flower, a section of the ovary and a fully matured fruit; The Connarad Family: a leafy branch of Connarus bearing a cluster of mature fruits, two fruits opened to reveal the peculiar seed and its aril; The Birch Family: .an enlarged portion of a male and a female catkin displaying the essen- tial organs and a still greater enlargement of a stamen; The Screw-Pine Family: reproduction of a mature Pandanus fruit. A number of objects and collections in the Department of Geology have been installed in various halls, but as heretofore, owing to lack of space, this has been accomplished in most cases only by removal of other series which had previously been on exhibition. By some readjust- ments in Skiff Hall, a floor case containing about fifty of the largest specimens of copper from Lake Superior presented by Nathan F. and Alfted F. Leopold was installed. Before installation of these specimens they were thoroughly cleaned by immersion in sodium cyanide and then carefully coated with shellac by means of an air brush so that they could not again tarnish. At the same time the opportunity was improved to give a similar treatment to a number of other speci- mens of native copper and silver. The valuable collection of Lake JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DiRECTOR. 175 Superior minerals which for a number of years had been loaned to the Museum by the late Frank McM. Stanton was, owing to the decease of Mr. Stanton, returned to Mrs. Stanton at her request. In the space thus vacated, the collection of Chuquicamata, Chile, copper ores, received during the year, and a series of Bolivia copper ores were installed. By removal of less important specimens there were also installed in this hall the series of gold and iron ores and accompanying rocks from Brazil presented by Mr. George Chalmers, and a series of specimens representing the ores of the Chloride, Arizona, district. In order to provide greater security, the more valuable part of the platinum collections was transferred from this hall to Higinbotham Hall. This has relieved the previously overcrowded condition of the case which contained these specimens, and permitted better display of those of less intrinsic value. In order to provide space for the exhibition of two models which had recently been constructed, part of the synoptic fossil collection was removed from Hall 35 and the models installed in the space thus left. The models were constructed by the Assistant Curator. One illustrates the processes of extinction of a glacial lake, the other represents the relation of soil to rock in a glaciated region. The model illustrating the extinction of a glacial lake was constructed to explain the operation of those agents which are causing the gradual obliteration of numerous small lakes of glacial origin which are scattered through the moraine belt of the country and are especially numerous in parts of Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Incidentally the nature and origin of the lake marl deposits are shown, as well as the mode of formation of the peat beds of the Upper Mississippi Valley. These beds are some- what different in origin from those commonly described in text books. As it was found that no single lake was adapted to show these features properly in a model of suitable size, the model was made as a composite of a number of small Illinois and Wisconsin lakes with which the Curators were familiar. The model is made of Portland cement rein- forced with expanded metal. It is five feet long, nineteen inches wide and two feet high. It was designed for installation on the floor of a deep wall case. The scale is 30 feet to the inch, which is small enough so that a considerable area can be represented and yet large enough to show vegetation in some detail. On the upper surface, the model shows half of a disappearing lake lying in a gravel and rock basin. The original Shores of the lake appear where the hills meet the swamp which forms the present shore. From this original shore a swamp extends for a considerable distance towards the center. The two ordinary characters of shore marshes are shown in an open marsh of rushes and sedges on one side, and on the other side a cedar and tamarack swamp. Beyond 176 Fretp Museum or Natura History — Reports, VOL. V. these there extends over the lake a fringe of floating bog, composed of a mat of rushes and sedges floating on the lake surface and attached to the shore. Beyond the floating bog, water is shown and on its surface appear representations of aquatic vegetation, such as lilies, bulrushes, etc., which grow in orderly, but sometimes broken sequence from the shore outward. On the bottom of the lake appear masses of water weeds also in zones, each kind of weed contributing its detritus to the masses of calcareous and organic material which slowly fill the lake. The front of the model shows a section of the lake and itsadjoining ground. Thelake bottom has also been modeled and may be seen through the representation of the lake water. This section shows at the sides and bottom the original gravel and rock basin of the lake. The peat and muck formed from the remains of aquatic vegetation extend towards the center from the sides. The floating bog also appears in section, and the underlying peat formed from the vegetable remains dropped from the rush mat is represented. Masses of bladderwort and similar water plants and the peat derived from them are shown in their proper position, as well as the lime- secreting algae and charas growing over the grayish-white marl which they are supposed to have formed on the lake bottom. The model illustrating the relation of soil and rock in glaciated regions is intended to show that in a glacial region the contour of the surface of the soil has no relation to the form of the rock surface below. The model is made of Portland cement laid on expanded metal. It is three feet long, one foot wide, and thirty-two inches high. The scale is 30 feet to the inch. It represents a region such as exists in the agricultural districts south- west of Chicago. The upper surface of the model represents a slightly rolling country with cultivated fields, pastures, farm buildings and a road. The front of the model shows a section through the soil and the rock below. The surface soil is represented lying on a mass of till, which in turn rests upon horizontally bedded limestone. The upper surface of the limestone is represented as having been carved in pre-glacial times to a very rugged topography, but the peaks and valleys of this rock topography are seen to have no bearing whatever on the contour of the gently rolling surface above. In order to bring the peat collections opposite the model illustrating the mode of formation of peat, the table cases in Hall 35 were rearranged, and in the case illustrating the occur- rence of diamond, a new series of minerals and rocks associated with the occurrence of the South African diamonds was installed. In making this installation there was placed in the center of the collection a large label with a cut representing a cross-section of the Kimberley deposit. From appropriate places on this label white silk threads were extended to specimens of the corresponding rocks. Beyond these, specimens of ' JAN., 1918. ANNUAL Report oF THE DIRECTOR. 177 the minerals which are associated with the diamonds of the deposit were placed in a series of trays. In addition, the exhibit as at present displayed includes large samples of the Kimberley “‘blue ground” and a specimen of diamond in the matrix. The installation of the meteorite collection has been somewhat rearranged during the year and a number of improvements made. The pyramids of three of the cases containing stone meteorites were remodeled, in order to better display the speci- mens. For this purpose the specimens were first removed and then reinstalled. A border left by etching on a large number of specimens of the iron meteorites as they were received was found to be misleading to visitors, as it appeared to represent a natural feature. Accordingly fifty-two of these specimens have been repolished and reétched. Exhibition labels have been provided for the entire meteorite collec- tion, and about six hundred were installed during the year. Adjacent to the meteorite collection, a series of terrestrial irons has been put on exhibition, the series including a number of specimens of the Santa Catharina and Greenland irons and awaruite from several localities. Two terrestrial globes prepared by the Assistant Curator to show special features, were added to the exhibition series of maps. One of these globes is colored to show the geological age of the different portions of the earth’s surface about which the data are known, and upon the other are indicated the areas of the earth which are subject to earthquakes. The data for the geological globe were based largely on the well-known map by Jules Marcou with some corrections and additions. The colors chosen to represent the different periods were selected to give a pleasing effect and provide contrast without harshness. On the earthquake globe the land and water are shown in light colors and the earthquake regions are represented in a strongly contrasting dark shade. The zonal dis- tribution of regions subject to earthquakes is thus well brought out. As the large skull of Triceratops in Hall 36 was found to be undergoing injury on account of vibration caused by the passing of heavy objects, it was removed to a less exposed location in Hall 33. Two floor cases of Jurassic fossils were moved from Hall 33 to Hall 36 in order to occupy the vacated space and some other adjustments of cases in this hall were made so as to give better lighting. The skeleton of the fossil wolf _ from the Los Angeles asphalt beds, which was mounted during the year, was installed in a case in Hall 36 with other specimens from these beds. The skeleton as mounted represents the animal stepping from an apparently firm mixture of asphalt and soil into a soft asphalt from which it was unable to escape. In a floor case in Hall 59 a skeleton of a saber- tooth tiger from the same deposit was placed on exhibition in a dis- articulated form, so that its osteological characters may be readily 178 Frerp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. studied. A full series of labels was provided with which white silk threads extending from each element to its label indicate definitely the several parts. The contents of several cases in Hall 59, containing chiefly vertebrate Miocene fossils, were rearranged, largely in order to admit new specimens which had been worked out in the laboratory. The most important of these was a mount of the posterior half of a skeleton of the rare Oligocene aquatic rhinoceros, Metamynodon. This was mounted in relief on a slab three and one-half by five feet in size, the texture and color of the slab being made to imitate as far as possible the matrix from which the bones were taken. Each bone was also mounted so as to be easily removed from the slab whenever this may be desired for purposes of study, or otherwise. Other newly prepared specimens installed in these cases were, skulls and lower jaws of the rare Oligocene ungulate, Protoceras celer, and the same of the Oligocene suilline, Perchoerus. The large model of jaws of the fossil shark ex- hibited in Hall 60, was found to be undergoing injury on account of too much handling by visitors. It was accordingly removed to an alcove and a railing placed in front of it. The position of others of the large mounts in this hall was also changed in order to give wider passageways and better protection. In this connection the opportunity was improved to repair injuries which had been caused to many of the large mounts in this or adjoining halls by too great inquisitiveness of visitors. Mounts so repaired included those of the Glyptodon, Hadrosaurus, Colossochelys, Uintatherium, Carcharodon and Mastodon. The large case of Miocene fossils formerly in Hall 60 was moved to Hall 61 and the skull and partial skeleton of Teleoceras received during the year as well as some smaller specimens were installed in wall cases in the same hall. Work in the paleontological laboratory was hindered by the absence of the preparator during a large part of the year, but nevertheless a number of valuable specimens were either worked out or mounted, or both. Among the specimens thus prepared in the laboratory during the year were the Metamynodon, Protoceras and Perchoerus mounts already mentioned, a skull and jaws of Parahippus, portions of a skeleton of Megacerops, a number of canine teeth of the saber-tooth tiger and bones of the Mammoth. Some specimens received in exchange also were given treatment necessary to insure their better preservation. In reclassifying the serial or synoptic collection of mammals in the Department of Zoology, many duplicates were eliminated and various other specimens, which it is now evident will not meet the standards or needs of the installations planned for the new Museum building, have been transferred to the reference collection or disposed of otherwise. Among these are a considerable number of mounted mammals prepared JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 179 a good many years ago, before the greatly improved methods of taxi- dermy now in use had been perfected. In many instances these speci- mens have been replaced by others of the same species of better quality. Following this a reinstallation was made of part of the synoptic collec- tion including especially the smaller ungulates as the wild sheep, goats, and antelopes. These have been placed in twelve new cases of special design adopted as a standard to be followed for the remainder of the synoptic collection of mammals. The new cases have the general dimensions and appearance of the cases used throughout the Department of Zoology but are modified for the especial display of large and medium- size mammals by having slightly higher bases and by the use of single plates of glass in the sides without interrupting mouldings. The length of these cases is approximately 12 feet, the width 4 feet, and the height 8 feet. For smaller mammals a case of the same length and width but much reduced height was necessary and two such cases were satis- factorily installed; one with pigmy deer and antelopes and the other with wolves and foxes. Although work has progressed on several groups of mammals, none have been installed during the year. The most im- portant mammal group under preparation is that of the American Bison, made possible through the generosity of Mr. Arthur B. Jones. Marked progress has been made with this group. Late in the winter of 1916 arrangements were made to obtain especially fine selected specimens from the living bison in the well known Corbin herd maintained by the Blue Mountain Forest Association of New Hampshire. At the proper time, therefore, the Museum Taxidermist selected the animals and prepared the skins and necessary parts of their skeletons together with measurements and the data required in this connection. These excep- tionally fine skins have been prepared by the skin dresser and are now ready for use when needed. Meanwhile, a background was painted for this group by Mr. C. A. Corwin, representing a scene near the last stronghold of the bison in eastern Montana. This background is of Semi-elliptical design and of very large size to conform to a generously proportioned case which, as planned, will be 28 feet wide, 14 feet deep, and 15 feet high. After preliminary models in wax had been made, full Size manikins for the seven bison to be included in the group were prepared. During the year the work on the artificial vegetation acces- sory to the jaguar and capybara group was finally completed and this group is therefore ready for installation. Under the Stanley Field Ornithology Fund, three additional habitat groups of birds have been completed and installed for exhibition, and a fourth is well advanced. The completed groups are as follows: Group 1— Winter birds in northern Illinois, showing a number of winter species, including Hairy 180 Fretp Museum or Natura History — Reports, Vou. V. Woodpecker, White-breasted Nuthatch, Chickadee, Snow Bunting, Blue Jay, some excited Crows have discovered a Screech Owl in a hollow tree, and a Northern Shrike is shown surrounded by several small birds (Redpolls, Siskins, etc.), which he has killed and placed on thorns for future consumption. Group 2— A winter scene on shore of Lake Michigan, showing ice and open water. The group includes Her- ring Gulls, Surf Scoter, Long-tailed Duck or Old Squaw, and Red- breasted Mergansers; all familiar birds in this locality at that season. Group 3 — Bird Life at Fox Lake, [llinois. A summer scene, illustrating the nesting habits of a number of the smaller marsh birds and includes the Red-winged Blackbird, Yellow-headed Blackbird, Bank Swallow, Black Tern, Gallinule, Virginia Rail, Sora Rail, Coot, and Least Bit- tern. Many nests, eggs and young birds are shown. Thirty specimens of local fishes were mounted. There was also prepared, from a skin in liquid, an excellent mount of the monkey-fish, a strange eel-like creature inhabiting the California reefs. The large mounted sword-fish, which was literally falling to pieces, was remounted and put into such shape as to make a suitable display. Some time was devoted to the formula- tion of the best possible scheme for the display of fishes, amphibians, and reptiles in the new Museum building, in order that the exhibition aspect of the work in the Division might be most efficiently directed to that end. The Division of Entomology primarily directed its efforts toward the preparation of insects and insect groups for exhibition. A life- history exhibit of the mulberry silk-worm, containing fifty specimens, illustrating the various stages of the silk-worm, including the eggs, larvae, cocoon, and moths, was mounted on a wax mulberry branch. This life-history together with recently acquired photographs of the silk-worm industry in Japan, and a selection of the enlarged models of the same insect, are to be installed in one of the new A-cases. The Assistant Curator assembled and determined all of the alcoholic repre- sentatives of the scorpion, centipede and tarantula contained in the Museum collection. This material was prepared for exhibition and there are now ready for installation fifty-five mounts of these insects. Some of the material collected during the year by this Division has been prepared for exhibition and considerable progress has been made in making the casts of leaves, larvae, etc., for the tomato worm case. Satisfactory progress with the reinstallation of the shell collection was made only during the first five months of the year, during which time one case was filled and completed, while all of the shells still to be in- stalled were remounted on new tablets, thus completing at least one important phase of this work. A portion of the systematic exhibition collection in osteology was reinstalled in cases released from the Division SIONIT]T] NI YALNIAA NI 3414-0uIg “XXX JLV1d ‘SLYOdSY AYOLSIH IWHNLWN JO WNASNW 01314 JAN., 1918.

THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. —In this Department of the Museum there are now available 534 cases for circulation among the public schools, while several groups and a quantity of material are prepared and arranged ready for imme- diate installation in cases. In order to provide storage facilities for additional empty cases and for those already installed and for the purpose of improving former methods of delivering cases to and re- ceiving them from the car, it was necessary to rearrange and enlarge the plan that was originally adopted for these purposes. The room devoted ‘to storage has been divided into four parts, each part being furnished with racks and hooks for hanging the cases. Upon one group of racks are hung cases containing botanical subjects; upon another group of racks are hung cases containing geological material, and so on. At the ends of the aisles of racks numbers are displayed, designating what numbered cases are to be found in the aisles when selecting them for delivery to the schools and where they are to be replaced when returned from the schools. This arrangement will permit the storage of approxi- mately 800 cases, and when the 250 cases, which have been ordered, have been received, the limit of the storage capacity of this room will have bern reached. The ends of each case and the two general labels which accompany it are lettered and numbered alike. This idea was adopted as a simpler, quicker and a more dependable one for assigning, recording and identifying cases, than by means of case titles or subjects, which, of course, appear on the labels. By having greatly needed repairs and improvements made upon the delivery car during the last school vacation period, a stricter adherence of the daily schedule for the de- livery and collection of cases is found possible than the condition of the car last year permitted. This Department has received many letters from principals and teachers similar to the one from the Principal of the J. A. Sexton School, which is herewith submitted: “‘T wish to express the thanks and appreciation of the pupils and teachers of this school for the loan of the beautiful natural history cases which are sent from the Museum. In a congested district like this they are especially helpful, and they are a never failing source of pleasure and instruction for us all.” As an indication of the desire on the part of the Museum to increase the usefulness of its Extension System, the Curator frequently has 182 Frectp Museum oF Natura History — Reports, VoL. V. requested principals and teachers to express their views and opinions as to ways by which the desire would be accomplished. Cases are being loaned to 278 elementary schools and to their branches having a daily enrollment of a hundred or more students. It has been found advisable to increase the length of time allowed for cases to remain at one time in a school from two to three weeks. This extension in the duration of the loan period, not only gives the pupils an additional week for observation and study of the cases, but enables the Department to arrange and maintain a reliable schedule for the delivery and collection of cases. To accomplish this it was necessary to divide the schools in four sections and to form groups of schools in each section. At the beginning of the scholastic year the circulation of cases starts with the delivery of three cases from the Museum to each of the first group of schools located in what is designated as the first section. After each school in each group of the first section has been loaned three cases, deliveries are made in a similar way to schools of the third section. Three school weeks are required for the delivery of cases to the first school of the first group located in the first section to the last school in the last group of the third section. When these deliveries have been made, the cases are collected from these sections in the order in which they were delivered and distributed to groups of schools located in the second and fourth sections respectively. This system is maintained throughout the school period. By means of receipt cards the circulation record of each case is kept. Each card besides bearing the same letter and number as shown on the case and the labels which accompany it, has spaces for recording the name of the school to which the case has been assigned, the signature of the principal or teacher receiving it, the date it was received, the number of pupils studying it and the length of time it was retained.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 1918 To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History: I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum for the year ending December 31, 1918. _ The negotiations of the National Government to secure the new Museum structure for hospital purposes, the contract to this end which was entered into, the resulting increase in building operations in accord- ance with the terms of the contract and the subsequent sudden cancella- tion by the Government of the contract following the European armistice had naturally a confusing and disturbing effect upon the affairs of the Museum during the later part of the year. The preparations for the transfer to the new building had been underway for sometime, but work of this character was more actively prosecuted after the contract with the Government had been entered into and the methods of packing were altered in view of the expectation to store the material for several years, or during the operation of the contract or lease. The probability as now appears, that the transfer to the new building may take place next year and possibly in the autumn, will require continued and assiduous efforts in preparation for this event that will leave little else to be done in the old building. The progress so far made and the methods employed may be said to be satisfactory but not remarkable. The Museum has felt the common influence of the war upon its economic affairs and, operating upon a fixed income, has reduced its expenditures as far as possible to the necessities of maintenance. The high prices of fuel and of materials of every variety entering into the every day affairs of the Institution have, except for reserves, practically exhausted the annual receipts and left little to be recorded in the way of new or progressive activities. To what may be ascribed the large decrease in attendance is doubtful. The public in some way appears to have gained the impression, which it has not been easy to correct, that the present building has been closed or was in a state of some confusion, because of preparations for immediate removal to and storage of its contents in the new building, which was to be used for three years as a Government hospital. This may be regarded as one reason. Probably, however, the falling off in attendance has been due very largely to the consuming interest of the public in the war and 229 230 FreELp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. in the circumstances reaching into every home immediately or indirectly associated with it. People generally have not felt at sufficient ease and unconcern to visit places of the character of the Museum for pleasure, pastime or study. At the same time the extent of the decrease in attend- ance, even with these allowances fully made, is still unaccountable. President Field returned from his duties in France in September after a year’s service. Trustee Sprague, Major of Infantry, has received his discharge from the Army and has returned to Chicago. Trustee Marshall Field, Captain of Artillery, is still on duty in France. Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus, Pastor of the Central Church and President of Armour Institute, accepted election as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Museum, filling the vacancy caused by the death of Honorable George E. Adams. Mr. William Wrigley, Jr., prominent manufacturer, has been elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Henry Field. The general staff of the Museum saw fit to recognize the Twenty- fifth Anniversary of the Director’s appointment by presenting him with an engrossed Appreciation signed by the entire personnel; an act which was sincerely appreciated by its recipient. The Assistant Curator of Economic Botany with several laboratory assistants transferred the activities of the Mrs. Stanley Field Plant Repro- duction section to Miami, Florida, in October, where accommodations were secured from the United States Agricultural Department in its laboratory there, to carry on the work of reproducing the plants of that section; the expedition expecting to be absent six months or more. Re- ports from Assistant Curator Dahlgren reflect a gratifying outcome of this enterprise. Acknowledgmentis made of the contributions of funds from Mrs. T.B. Blackstone and from Mr. Charles R. Crane, to defray the cost of a publication in the Museum series by Curator Laufer of the Department of Anthropology, entitled: ‘‘Sino-Iranica; Chinese Contributions to the History of the Civilization of Ancient Iran.” Somewhat extensive reference is made elsewhere in this report to the Japanese painting presented to the Museum by Trustee Gunsaulus; a most valuable gift from both an ethnologic and artistic standpoint. The Finance Committee of the Museum authorized an arrangement to finance the subscriptions of the employes of the Institution to the Third and Fourth Liberty Loan bond issues, under which arrangement a most gratifying subscription resulted, both as to individuals and the amounts taken. The Museum sustained a signal loss in the death of Mr. Odell Edward Lansing, Jr., Keeper-of-the-Herbarium, Department of Botany. FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 231 Mr. Lansing had been in the service of the Museum twenty-three years during which his conscientious, untiring devotion to his work, and cheerful presence, had endeared him to all his associates. He was a diligent and discriminating collector, making his special field of labor the Plant Life of the Chicago Basin, in Illinois and Indiana. To this he devoted all his spare time and often his periods of vacation. He also collected in various parts of Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, and in the Ozark region of Missouri. In 1903, on a commission from the Museum, he made a thorough and comprehensive botanical exploration of all the sand keys of Florida from Key West westward. His original collections (4,563 specimens) are preserved in the herbarium of the Museum, and duplicates in various herbaria of America and Europe. MAINTENANCE. — The annual Budget Authorized by the Board of Trustees provided the sum of $158,496.00 for the maintenance of the Museum for the fiscal year. The actual amount expended was $137,- 740.00, leaving a balance within the anticipated expenses for the year of $20,756.00. In addition to the cost of maintenance the sum of approximately $5,000.00 was expended for collections and packing sup- plies, that brought the total to $142,740.00. . Pustications. — During the year four publications were issued, com- prising parts of four volumes, details of which follow: Pub. 197.— Zoological Series, Vol. XIII, Part II, No. 1. The Birds of the Americas. By C. B. Cory. March 1918. 315 pages, 1 colored plate. Edition 1,150. Pub. 198.— Zoological Series, Vol. XII, No. 2. Notes on Fishes from the Athi River in British East Africa. By Carl L. Hubbs. January 1918. 4 pages, 3 halftones. Edition 1,000. Pub. 199.— Botanical Series, Vol. IV, No. 1. New Species of Xan- thium and Solidago. By C. F. Millspaugh and E. F. Sherff. April 1918. 7 pages, 6 halftones. Edition 1,000. Pub. 200.— Report Series, Vol. V, No. 3. Annual Report of the Direc- ; tor for the year 1917. January 1918. 74 pages, 11 halftones. Edition, 2,000. These publications were distributed to individuals and institutions whose names appear on the Domestic mailing list. On account of the enhanced sea risk a few copies of the Annual Report only were sent abroad. THE Liprary.— The books and pamphlets accessioned during the year were 1,484, a decrease from preceding years, but this is amply explained by war conditions. In the interest of general economy and the desire to codperate with the War Industries Board in the saving of paper, publishers have issued limited editions. Periodicals and serials that & 232 Frerp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. had been previously received as gifts or exchanges were discontinued. Foreign exchanges were scant and irregular. The total number of books and pamphlets in the Library is 71,020, which are distributed as follows: General Library . we, Filstyelan nd (hobs) DANS ayia areas Department of Antucaapions.: wy > Slo ae idan “ie hea ak ae Department: of Botany 3c) os die) lace ree ba) owt et tod Department of Geology os te ie a ee ee Department of Zoology . ae Purchases were made of fortyiaix Haake riecessny for work in hand in the departmental libraries. Among those received are: Crawford’s History of the Indian Archipelago, 1820; Im Thurm’s Among the In- dians of Guiana, 1884; Rickard’s Ruins of Mexico; Robelo’s Diccionario de Aztequismos; Walters’ Ancient Pottery; Tutton’s Crystallography; Pennant’s Synopsis of Quadrupeds, 1771. Through the continued generosity of Mr. Edward E. Ayer, a handsomely bound and illustrated copy of Lord Rothschild’s Extinct Birds, and continuations of Mat- thews’ Birds of Australia were purchased for the Ayer Ornithological Library. Mr. William S. McCrea donated a copy of Herrick’s Audubon the Naturalist. Interesting additions were also received from Mr. Wil- liam J. Chalmers, Mr. Charles L. Freer, Detroit, Mr. J. Nilsen Laurvik, San Francisco, Mr. Elmer D. Merrill, Manila, Mr. Edward S. Morse, Salem, Mr. James Weir, Missoula. The general activities of the Library have continued in as earnest and energetic a manner as existing con- ditions permitted. New work has not been undertaken during the year, but the development of resources at hand has progressed. The steadily rising cost of binding materials made it impractical to bind the usual number of books, and only 227 periodicals and serials were bound during the year. There were written and filed in the catalogues 15,612 cards. Twelve monthly installments of approximately a thousand cards each of the John Crerar Library were received and filed. Preparatory to moving to the new building a general weeding out has been made of literature no longer of use in the work of the Museum. Much of this material had been accessioned before it was definitely determined that the scope of the Museum would be confined to natural history. For lack of shelf-room these books have been packed in boxes for some years. What is of exchange value was checked off the records and repacked; all duplicate material was carefully examined and what was of im- portance for exchange purposes was also packed. All of these forty- eight boxes were properly labeled and stored ready for shipment. What was fit only for waste paper was sold. In all 1,780 numbers were checked off the records, which reduces to 71,020 the total number of books and pamphlets in the Library. JAN., 1919. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 233 DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LABELING. —- During the cur- rent year the work of cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology has been carried on as usual, and the total number of catalogue cards prepared amounts to 5,441. These cards are distributed over the various divisions as follows: China, India and Philippines 47; Melanesian Ethnology 984; North American Ethnology 594; Mexican and South American Archeology 598; and Physical Anthropology 3,218. All these cards have been entered in the inventory books of the Department, which now number 38. The number of annual accessions amounts to 16, of these 11 have been entered. The total number of catalogue cards entered from the opening of the first volume amounts to 153,111. The photographer made 63 negatives and supplied 503 prints to the De- partment. There were added to the label file 224 new label cards. A total number of 2,309 labels was turned out by the printer for use in the exhibition cases of the Department. These labels are distributed as follows: China and Philippines 20; Melanesian Ethnology 129; and Mexican and South American Archeology 2,160. The printer further supplied the Department with 2,050 catalogue cards and 5,600 shipping labels. The cataloguing of the collections secured under the auspices of the Joseph N. Field Expedition is now completed. All together 11,390 cards are written on this collection. General case-labels have been installed in all cases of Halls 2 and 3 and those in the East Court. The condensation and reinstallation of the Philippine collections, carried on during 1917, made necessary the relabeling of a large portion of the exhibits. This was completed early in the spring by the labeling of sixteen cases covering the Bukidnon tribes of Northern Mindanao and the Bagobo of Davao Gulf. Labels have been written for thirty-five specimens in the case of Egyptian bronzes. The general case labels for six cases of Egyptian archeology installed last year have been properly placed. The Ushebti figures have been classified, and the translations of their inscriptions made by Dr. Allen will be utilized for the prepara- tion of the labels. The Canopic jars have also been carefully studied, classified, and inscriptions read. Under an agreement with the Depart- ment of Egyptology at the University of Chicago the Museum received for some time the services of Dr. Allen for the translation of Egyptian inscriptions in exchange for Egyptian material of the University to be treated or repaired by the Department’s preparator. Dr. Allen’s notes will form a useful foundation for the labels to be prepared for this section. Since the first of June, the Assistant Curator of Mexican and South American Archeology has concerned himself almost entirely with the Zavaleta collection of Calchaqui archeology. This collection consisted of 4,565 numbers; two hundred and 234 Firetp Museum oF NaturaL History — Reports, Vot. V. seventy-one of these had already been catalogued in the Peruvian collection, the remaining 4,294 have been numbered in 2,120 cata- logue numbers; about four hundred of these have been catalogued to date. In the Department of Botany the entries made number 7,754, bring- ing the total entries to 477,490.

The Chalmers Crystal collection has been labeled throughout, 166 additional labels having been provided for this purpose. Other series for which new labels have been made are those of Quater- nary vertebrates and about 500 miscellaneous specimens of ores and minerals. The whole comprises a total of 745 labels which have been printed and for the most part installed during the year. In addition 168 labels have been prepared and are ready for printing. Owing to the small number of new accessions in the Department of Zoology the total number of new entries in the catalogues was the small- est in the history of the Department. The total number of regular entries was only 185, of which 155 were in Ornithology and 30 in Mam- malogy. In the classified card catalogues, the number of entries also has been limited. In Ornithology about 150 new entries were made and in Mammalogy correction and revision of about 100 cards were made. New exhibition labels to complete the relabeling of the synoptic collection of mammals were received from the printer and in part have been installed, the remainder being held until after removal.

Most of the new material entered and some of the old material has been supplied with tin tags, stamped in the machine pur- chased for that purpose last year. In the Division of Osteology fifteen skeletons were catalogued and index cards were written for the same. Including the duplicates, 1,700 shell labels were received from the printer. Of this number 1,381 have been installed. There were also installed 133 labels for scorpions, tarantulas, centipedes and silkworms.

Gunsaulus in commemoration of the Director’s twenty-fifth anniversary of service: The Tosa school, so named for the painter Tsunetaka, a governor of Tosa Province, flour- ished in the thirteenth century, and in its artistic aspirations was anti- Chinese, cultivating a vigorous nationalism and representing the taste of Japanese aristocracy as developed at the court of Kyoto. The char- acteristics of the Tosa masters were a magnificent combination of harmonious color and remarkable skill of composition. In conformity with their national tendencies they turned their attention toward his- torical subjects, and as illustrators of historical incidents or court romances and ceremonies on a grand scale they are peerless in the pictorial annals of Japan. In the epic style of their painted narratives they became for Japan what the rhapsodists of the Homeric poems were for Greece. Their best work is accordingly found on screens and sliding doors which offered the most suitable background for the expression of their inspiring conceptions. Distinguished forms, a delicate finesse of the brush exhibiting a decided affinity with the best miniatures of Persia, and the illustrated missals of our middle ages, a delicate severity of outlines, a certain conventionality of aristocratic sentiment, an incomparable talent for minutest detail in depicting trees, flowers, and birds, vivid, opaque and plastic coloration— these are the predominant traits of Tosa art all of which are reflected in this screen. Art was en- 236 Firetp Museum oF NaturaL History — Reports, Vor. V. riched by these masters with a striking innovation which omitted the roofs of the buildings, representing the interiors from a bird’s-eye view and blending the surrounding scenery with the domestic events. This principle is felicitously embodied in this painting which depicts three scenes from the famous classical romance Genji Monogatari written in A.D. 1004. The scene on the right-hand side shows the hero, Prince Genji, engaged with his friends in a discussion of the character of women. The scene in the upper portion of the centre illustrates Prince Genji gazing through a hedge at a group of ladies in the building. The scene on the left-hand side of the screen represents Genji and his friend To-no- chujo performing a war dance before the emperor in the palace Suzaku-in, accompanied by the orchestra below, of two reed-organs, two flutes, and two drums. The audience is formed by the members of the court seated in a hall on the left-hand side; the women spectators being confined to a special box on a lower level than the men. The characterization of the figures is exquisite, and the technical means employed to this end are of highest quality. In the costumes of four figures the designs are em- bossed or raised in relief in the paper, while a rich scale of pigments is set off from a gold-speckled brown background. The whole composition is as monumental and artistic as the treatment of details is refined, accurate, and instructive. This painting personifies a live source of inspiration for the study of ancient Japanese life, customs, and decorative forms, and it is no exaggeration to say that this screen is one of the greatest Oriental works of art which ever came to the Museum: Dr. Gunsaulus’ ingenuity and perspicacity in the discovery of this treasure cannot be praised enough, and he is deserving of our heart-felt gratitude for his generous presenta- tion, as well as for the thoughtfulness and spirit in which it is made. In the Department of Anthropology there were received as a gift from Mr. H. W. Narjal five pieces of tapa cloth and three war clubs from Samoa, a pair of Eskimo skin boots, and an ancient suit of chain mail coming from Sweden, but probably manufactured in Persia. A very interesting lot of Chinese pottery fragments was presented by Mr. E. B. Christie who at a time was connected with the Philippine Museum of the Bureau of Science, Manila, and discovered these bits in 1915 in ancient burial caves of Bohol, Philippine Islands. Some of these shards have artistic and archeological value, being as early as the time of the Sung dynasty (tenth and eleventh centuries). There are several good ex- amples of celadons which show that the sea-green glaze of this ware was wrought over a porcelain body at that period, and a large series of other glazes, particularly blue and whites. It is hoped that this material will give occasion to a renewed and more profound study of the problem of Chinese pottery in the Philippines, which was taken up in a pub- JAN., I919. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 237 lication of the Museum some years ago. A valuable museum purchase is represented by the grave material secured from a cave on the Pecos River, Val Verde Co., West Texas, by Mr. J. H. Hudson. The principal object was dug up four feet underground, being the skeleton of an Indian child in excellent state of preservation, wrapped in an antelope skin and adorned with a necklace of shell beads of intrinsic value. In the same cave were found a finely woven mat with very interesting painted designs, two plain undecorated mats, several deer or antelope skins, two smaller mats, a rabbit fur robe, and a bone awl. Besides there is the skull of an Indian woman and some detached bones discovered in another cave. Prominent among the year’s accessions is a rare robe, the gift of Mr. Homer E. Sargent, which is a welcome addition to the choice collection of blankets given by him last year. It is a blanket made at Spuzzum, B. C., about 1863; it soon passed into the possession of a Hudson Bay Company’s factor, in whose family it remained for more than fifty years until it was purchased for Mr. Sargent. While this type of blanket was formerly produced by Lower Thompson and some of the neighboring Lower Frazer Indians of Yale, not more than six are known to be now in existence. Through Mr. Edward E. Ayer, the Museum purchased several articles from the rapidly vanishing Tolowa tribe in the extreme northwestern part of California; among these being two fine buckskin festival dresses, also a beautiful head-band worn in the Jumping or Fall dance. A metate with muller from Mexico was turned over to the Department as a gift from Mr. Ayer. The most im- portant addition of this year is represented by the material received in exchange from Mr. George G. Heye, director of the Museum of the American Indian, New York, and making a total of seven hundred objects. The collection covers two regions: Ecuador and the West Indies. The majority of the material comes from the West Indies (412 specimens): Trinidad, Carriacou, St. Kitts, St. Vincent, Santa Lucia, Grenada, the Virgin Islands, and Cuba. It contains a large quantity of stone axes of different shapes and of shell celts which are available for exhibition. The balance of the West Indian material consists of pottery fragments and sherds, entire vessels being excessively rare from this region. A large number of the fragments contain relief figures suitable for exhibition, but, on the whole, the collection has greater scientific value because of its rarity. The Ecuador collection is excellent, consisting of 288 specimens, principally entire pottery vessels of high exhibition quality and of types not heretofore possessed by the museum. There are also a few stone and a very few metal pieces from this region. On the whole it is an excellent collection of almost perfect exhibition value. Two sacred bundles from the Sauk and Fox were 238 Firtp Museum or NATURAL History — Reports, Vor. V. purchased through Dr. T. Michelson of the Bureau of American Ethnology; they form a valuable addition to the sacred bundles from other Indian tribes in the collections. The Department of Botany received the following important addi- tions to its herbarium during the year: The highly valuable ‘‘Centurize Species Blancoanz,’’ distributed specially by the Philippine Bureau of Sciences, to illustrate, by topotypic plants, the species treated by Blanco in his Flora of the Philippines, and in addition to these 374 further Philippine species; ‘‘Plantz Wilsoniane,” 753 plants of China and Japan; 457 Philippine plants from a series specially collected for the Arnold Arboretum; the herbarium of Professor Hall, formerly State Geologist of New York, 1,311 plants representing the Flora of Troy, N. Y.; Earl E. Sherff, 446 plants of Illinois; Dr. Robert Ridgway, 267 plants of Illinois; C. F. Millspaugh, 117 plants of Wisconsin, and 182 North Carolina; F. C. Gates, 390 plants of Michigan; Florence Beck- with, 85 plants of Illinois; Walter Fischer, 299 plants of Argentina; New York Botanical Garden, 363 plants of Jamaica (Harris); A. A. Heller, 306 plants of California and Oregon; and Ira W. Clokey, 170 plants of Colorado. On account of lack of preparatorial assistance for poisoning and mounting specimens the additions to the herbarium fall far below the usual annual quota. The regional distribution of fully organized material added to the herbarium in 1918, is shown in the following tabulation: eee : Added this _ Total in NortH AMERICA: Year Herbarium IASSITNIDOIAT EY (een eR.

In making this request the Curator stated: ‘“‘The N. W. Harris Public School Exten- sion has set a glorious example for the whole land and an example which I hope we will be able to follow with success. It would help us out immensely and be of great assistance in educating the people up to the meaning of loan collections, and it would have much to do with the success of our campaign.’”’ A case and the motion picture film were sent as requested. After using them for several weeks for the purpose desired, an extension of the time of the loan of the case was asked. In support of this request it was stated, ‘‘The case and motion picture film were being used quite effectively, and that people here seem to be delighted with the conception of such a loan, and the comments are uniformly enthusiastic.’”? Requests for information concerning con- struction of cases, methods of installing, distributing and loaning them have been received from various institutions.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 2g1 Reproduced by permission of the ‘‘Architectural Record” HENRY HERING’S SCULPTURE FOR FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY IN CHICAGO By CHARLES OVER CORNELIVS Conceived in the mind of a public-spirited citizen, and made possible of realization by his generosity, the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago stands as a memorial to Marshall Field, its founder, and constitutes one of the chief architectural glories of the city. This great museum is destined to house extensive collections associated with the natural sciences and will function as an immense educational concord- ance. Easy of access from all parts of the city, overlooking the great open space of Grant Park to the north, and visible in its white majesty from far out upon the nearby lake, its site is unrivaled as a dignified and appropriate setting. The design has called forth a sustained architectural study with all that this implies, and the architects, Graham, Anderson, Probst and White, have given to the country a masterpiece in monu- mental building of a distinction and dignity commensurate with its purpose and origin. The monumental sculptures created in conjunction with such a building form an essential element in its design. Their position, while not necessarily structural, is in a vital spot of the organism, esthetically considered, and the individual works themselves thus assume a responsi- bility for the success of the whole work altogether out of proportion to their size, since in them is the final focusing of the attention of the spectator. The larger part of the exterior sculptural decoration of the building has been concentrated about the central motif of the north fagade — the great Ionic portico with its flanking bays. In these two bays caryatid porches rest upon the basement course and aboveare horizontal panels of low relief. Against the attic of the portico are eight figures of colossal size, which complete the sculptural decoration here. On the south facade the caryatid porches are repeated and above the mare horizontal panels similar to those facing the north. The interior sculpture consists of four figures surmounting engaged columns at either end of the central hall. This, then, summarizes the decorative sculpture — the caryatids and the four relief panels, the eight attic and the four interior figures. For the sculptural embellishment the architects commissioned one 292 Firtp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V. sculptor to execute the whole of this decoration — perhaps the second timeon record that so extensive a task has been entrusted to the hands of one American sculptor. Henry Hering has utilized the opportunity presented him to create a group of architectural sculptures which is unsurpassed in America today. Throughout the work he has kept con- sciously before him the purposes for which each piece was designed, both as regards its subject and its placing upon the building, with the result that he has achieved a superlative consistency in the whole work, at the same time infusing into each figure the utmost individuality and dis- tinction. In the treatment of the caryatid figures there is observable a greater conventionality and a less definite expression of personality than in any others of the group. Here an actual structural problem had to be met and a nice transition from the strong foundation course was desirable. There are two types of caryatids which are to be duplicated, and while they are very similar in mass and movement, in detail they are absolutely individual. The inspiration is frankly Ionian and their dignity is as unquestionable as is their structural quality. Above each caryatid porch the horizontal panel in relief represents one of the four main departments of the Museum — Anthropology, Zodlogy, Botany and Geology. The treatment here is very decorative, and by the use of one flying figure in each panel the same scale as that adopted in the other figures has been preserved while admitting the introduction of a definitely horizontal sense into the whole panel, con- trasting effectively with the repeated verticals of the other figures and of the surrounding architecture. Interesting color is given by the wings, the drapery treatment and the floating ribbon which bears the name of the department symbolized in the figure. The length of the panel has also allowed of the introduction of vertical bands of exquisite decoration, each different in detail, though similar in general tone. The iconography of the four panels is exceptionally pleasing and the choice of symbols for each has brought into play the originality and discrimination of the sculptor. The choice of subject for the attic figures exemplifies the generalization appropriate to the decoration of such a building. The four central figures above the columns represent the elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water; the four flanking figures typify the four points of the compass: North, South, East and West. With this choice of subject comes the necessity of giving to the figures, each so general in its conception, definite and essential qualities and certain attributes which will differ- entiate each from the other and at the same time preserve the unity of the scheme. Of the attributes given to the figures their selection has JAN., Ig19. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 203 been so apt and their display so nice that no discussion need be entered into to add to their clarity. The subtlety of so large a group fairly escapes expression in words. A broad balance has been obtained for the whole by reversing the poses of the two end figures and the similarity in the poses of the four centre- most figures. The light and shade have been studied for their effect in diffused light, and calculation had to be made for the position sixty-five feet above the spectator. In the placing of the figuresin relation to the surrounding space, as in fact throughout most of the architecture of the building, the Greek rhythm of 1:2 has been observed. While in the sculptor’s treatment of the group there is this rhythm, this subtle balance and calculation of light and shade, there is withal a very correct uniformity. The decoration about the heads has a certain general similarity in its suggestion of a nimbus, but how infinitely varied in its detail and individual in its application! In all the figures the law of frontality is strictly observed; a knee may be bent or the head inclined, but the frontal line remains straight. The dress, although partaking more of the quality of costume than of drapery, shows in its treatment a reasoned use of the latter tendency with the Dorian chiton as a point of departure. The architectonic quality is also observable here in the insistent verticals of the folds with their suggested evolution from a columnar form. The details of costume are infinitely varied, and upon repeated examination the figures reveal great fertility of invention and richness of detail. Much of the finest characterization has been reserved for the heads, in which the varied treatment of the eyes and mouth, the most expressive parts of the face, epitomizes the calmness or passion, the mysticism or nobility associated with each generality which the marble strives to present. The sculpturesque form in which the hair is cast in the figures of the “‘Four Points of the Compass” is particularly fine, and this interest- ing conventionality serves to give strength to the neck, a point which may also be remarked with reference to the caryatid figures. The four interior figures are placed in the great central hall of the museum. This immense room, three hundred feet long and lighted from above, is entered from either end through a large arch. Each of the arches is flanked by tall engaged columns, with entablature decoratively used, and upon each stands a symbolic figure. The symbolism of these figures makes a subjective application of the building’s use and suggests the various activities whose inspiration will lie within its walls; Natural Science and the Dissemination of Knowledge flanking one archway, Record and Research the other. These figures appear first at a great distance and are placed where 294 Fietp Museum or NaturaAL History — Reports, Vo. V. they will be seen under a comparatively steady light from above. Their position is of no structural importance and their purpose is a purely decorative one. All of which facts contribute to the difference in treat- ment from the strictly architectural figures of the attic. The composition here is more varied and the feeling more personal. The whole group is characterized by the eminent dignity and restraint which run throughout all of Mr. Herings’ work — a dignity unfettered by academic formule nor yet disturbed by a factitious realism. In the sane mind of the trained sculptor these two extremes of classicism and realism have been fused into an expressive whole under the spell of his own individual approach. In this particular problem there was opportu- nity for a variety of treatment into which has been breathed much of the spirit of ancient Greece. There are many who will concur in the opinion that the art of sculp- ture has reached and always will reach the broadest expression of its purpose when conceived and carried out with relation to architecture which it may be designed toenhance. Of the greatest sculpture which has come down to us from the past, by far the larger part is permeated by qualities suggested, if not imposed, by the architectural design of which it formed an essential part. When the art began to be employed upon works not destined as absolute units in an architectural scheme, it is yet the presence of definite architectonic qualities which contribute largely to the high essence of the creation. The presence of such qualities may not in itself be of predominant importance, but with their removal comes an immediate tendency toward a less dignified conception, a realism, natural perchance, and by reason of its very naturalness a thing to be controlled and disciplined. The time is not yet ripe when we may judge the relative position of the architectural sculpture of today, and particularly that of America, where traditions in art are most conspicuous by their absence, and where such various traditions as have been carried over into the new world from the old are being simultaneously followed in the works of various individuals. American sculpture has sprung from the headsand handsofa fewscattered individuals almost in its present growth, for what is a century and a half in the development of an art from the first dawn of its heralding ina new land? Thelargest opportunity for the development of such American sculpture must lie in the category of monumental work for public or semi-public possession. In such work there must be a greater generalization, since its im- pression is made upon a myriad different minds and must in each call forth some answering response, and it is just such an opportunity as this which is presented in the Field Museum. JAN., 1919. ANNUAL REFORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 295 In his appreciation of this opportunity, Mr. Hering has created a distinguished group of sculptures of an inspiration sustained not only in the broad, general conception of the work, but throughout the infinite variety of the detail, a group which can only be recognized as one of the most important contributions to American sculpture.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 1919 To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History: I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum for the year ending December 31, roto. Uncertainty as to the date of removal to the new Museum building in Grant Park was as far as humanly possible dissipated at the close of the year, by the joint opinion of all parties and agencies concerned in the big task that this movement could safely begin the latter part of April, and it is upon this understanding that the personnel of the Museum will enter the new year; with over ninety per cent of the ma- terial ready for transportation and the building practically completed. All the contracts incident to this most important work will have been closed during January and all arrangements perfected for the building of spur tracks from the Illinois Central Railroad to platforms to be constructed near the openings in each building provided for forwarding and receiving. It is now estimated that the transfer of all properties may be accomplished within sixty days and that before the end of 1920 sufficient installation will have been completed to justify admission of the public to at least certain sections of the new building. After rather protracted negotiations, but without any serious dispute, the contract with the Government permitting the hospitalization of the new Museum building was cancelled and the Museum accepted from the Government an allowance as full satisfaction of the expenses incurred and additional cost imposed during the time the Government controlled building operations. Mr. James Simpson, Vice-President of Marshall Field & Company and for many years the confidential associate of Marshall Field, donated to the Museum such a sum of money as would be required to construct the large assembly hall, or auditorium, in the new building. This gift was accepted with expressions which the circumstance would naturally invite. Subsequently, it was determined to dedicate this auditorium as “James Simpson Theatre of Field Museum of Natural History. ” It will accommodate one thousand people. A stage and its ordinary accompaniments, foot lights, orchestra stall, etc., are included in the 393 304 Fretp Museum or NaAturAL History — Reports, Vot. V. plan. The interior treatment of the theatre will be in harmony with that of the main building and it will be equipped with every modern appliance for facility and comfort. The Trustees have named the large hall along the east side of the Department of Botany on the second floor of the new building in honor of Mrs. Stanley Field. In this hall will be installed the collections in plant reproduction, for which expensive and elaborate work under the direction of the Department of Botany, Mrs. Field has provided the essential funds. It will be known as Sara C. Field Hall. The plaster model of the new Museum building, which has been on exhibition in the Rotunda of the present building for several years, by vote of the Board of Trustees has been presented to the Architectural School of Armour Institute. The Woman’s Temple building, located at the corner of La Salle and Adams streets, mortgage upon which was given to the Museum by Mar- shall Field before his death and which mortgage was foreclosed after years of default, was sold to the State Bank of Chicago during the month of May, and the proceeds added to the capital of the General Fund. In order to increase the income to a sum demanded by the extended service of the public schools by The N. W. Harris Public School Ex- tension of Field Museum of Natural History, the heirs of the late Nor- man W. Harris, who provided the foundation for the Extension, have donated to the Museum the sum of $25,000.00.. Trustee William Wrigley, Jr., having granted an exclusive privilege to the Museum to survey, excavate and collect archzological material on Catalina Island, the Museum, by permission of the grantor, entered in an arrangement with the Museum of the American Indian of New York City to prosecute scientific investigation on this island for the period of two years. An expedition for this purpose is to be com- missioned by Mr. George G. Heye, President of the Museum of the American Indian, early in 1920. A gift of unusual interest came from President Field; a Chinese cloisonné figure, perfect in execution and rich in color, about twenty- two inches high, representing a Grand Lama of the Buddhist Church of Tibet. Upon comparison with other images, the statue is identified as a portrayal of Pal-dan-ye-she, a church dignitary only next in rank to the Dalai Lama of Lhasa, and known as the Tashi Lama. Extended reference to this donation is made elsewhere. An important accession during the year consisted of the private bo- tanical collection of Mr. Edward T. Harper of Geneseo, Illinois. This collection is composed of 10,000 fungi, 10,000 flowering plants, over 800 titles of books and pamphlets and approximately 1,500 photograph JAN., 1920 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 305 negatives. Mr. Harper desiring to continue his collecting and notes on this order of plants will remain in charge of this section in the Depart- ment of Botany, as Assistant Curator of Cryptogamic Botany. The transfer of the material will take place when the section which it is to occupy in the new building is ready for its reception. Mr. George Langford of Joliet, Illinois, presented to the Museum his unusual collection of remains of mastodons obtained in Minooka, Illi- nois, and also specimens of mosasaurs from Kansas. The mastodon material includes remains of eight individuals. |The expenses incurred by Mr. Langford in connection with this transfer were borne by Trustee Chauncey Keep. The publication of “‘Sino-Iranica”’ be Dr. Berthold Laufer, Curator of the Department of Anthropology, funds for which were provided by Mrs. T. B. Blackstone and Mr. Charles R. Crane, has been completed and distributed. Mr. William Wrigley, Jr. has presented to the Museum a notable collection of pre-Colombian gold ornaments from the United States of Colombia, excavated near the river Neshi, which is described in detail elsewhere. The gift comprises a brilliant and intrinsically valuable contribution to the rare material in the Museum. An advance in salaries and the allowance of generous bonuses for the year i919, recognized the increased cost of subsistence as well as the protracted and commendable services of the recipients. Mr. Stanley Field was unanimously elected by the Board of Trustees an Honorary Member of the Institution, in recognition of the eminent service he has rendered to science. Mr. John P. Wilson was elected a Patron of the Museum, in recog- nition of the eminent service he has rendered to the Institution. The continued efforts of President Field to increase the Life Member- ships of the Institution resulted in the election of the following during _ the year: Mark Morton, Silas H. Strawn, Edward S. Moore, Leroy A. Goddard, Robert H. Allerton, John V. Farwell, Ward W. Willits, Frederic McLaughlin, John Borden, Lafayette McWilliams, Joy Morton, Solomon A. Smith, Charles P. Wheeler, Frederick T. Haskell, Thomas E. Wilson, George E. Scott, Frank Hibbard, Frank O. Lowden, William O. Goodman, C. K. G. Billings, John W. Scott, G. F. Swift, Jr., A. G. Becker, Garrard B. Winston, Henry C. Lytton, William A. Pinkerton, David B. Jones, A. W. Goodrich, Thomas D. Jones, James C. Hutchins, John B. Drake, L. J. Hopkins, John B. Lord, Thomas W. Hinde, Adolph Nathan, Wallace C. Winter. The death of Harlow N. Higinbotham, as a result of an automobile accident in New York City on April 18, 1919, has to be announced. 306 Frrzp Museum or Natura History — Reports, VoL. V. Mr. Higinbotham took a very active interest as President of the Colum- bian Exposition in securing for the Museum a vast quantity of material, which was the nucleus of the collections, and as Chairman of the Execu- tive Committee of the Museum for fifteen years and as President of the Museum for twelve years, assisted effectively in the up-building of the Institution. He presented the collection of Gems and Jewels now in- stalled in a hall named in his honor and gave other interesting but less costly material to the Museum. Mr. Higinbotham was succeeded as President by the incumbent of that office in 1909. At the last regular meeting of the year, the Trustees were informed that the Founder of the Stanley Field Museum Employes’ Pension Fund had suggested incorporating a system of life insurance in the benefits of the pension plan and that the Committee in charge of pensions had worked out a scheme which commended itself to Mr. Field. The Board of Trustees gave its approval, and it is probable that by the first of February, 1920, life insurance will be written upon the employes of the Institution. MAINTENANCE.—1T he budget authorized by the Board of Trustees provided the sum of $156,380.00 for the maintenance of the Museum for the year. The amount expended was $132,252.00, which sum includes all expenditures made for preparing the entire contents of the Museum for removal to the new building. A satisfactory margin of $24,130.00 appears as a result of the operations during the year. A further sum of $9,039.00 was expended by special order of the Board of Trustees for collections, bonuses referred to elsewhere, and expeditions, bringing the total approximately to $141,300.00. Pusications,—During the year four publications were issued, com- prising parts of four volumes, details of which follow: Pub. 201.—Anthropological Series, Vol. XV, No. 3. Sino-Iranica.

In addition to the publications distributed for exchange purposes, two hundred and sixty-eight have been sold to various individuals who were not in a position to offer equivalent literature as an exchange. THE Liprary.— There have been received by gift, exchange and pur- chase 1,716 books and pamphlets, an increase over last year’s receipts. The library contains 72,736 bound and unbound books and pamphlets. The following list shows the number of titles in each Department: General Library . siileliatt sumiay) yetnisrunshrosy aie.

With the activities of the curatorial staff largely engaged in preparations for moving to the new building, their requests for books were comparatively few during the first half of the year. With the ces- sation of that work and time again devoted to research their requests were renewed for books necessary for the study of material for installa- tion purposes. For immediate use forty-three works were purchased. An important gift was received from Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus of a rare and beautifully bound copy of Autograph Letters of Charles Darwin, written to J. Jenner Weir during the year 1868; also auto- gtaphed copies by Louis Agassiz. These are the initial contributions to a very interesting collection to be known as, Gunsaulus collection of personalia and souvenirs of eminent naturalists. Early in the year the first volume of The Monograph of the Pheasants, by William Beebe, was published by the New York Zodlogical Society; a beautifully il- lustrated work of these gorgeous birds in their native haunts, to be complete in four volumes. When the attention of Mr. Edward E. Ayer was called to the work he immediately subscribed to the set for the Ayer Ornithological Library of the Museum, Mr. Ayer has also presented copies of Seth-Smith’s Handbook of the Imported Species (parakeets), and Whitaker’s Birds of Tunisia. A number of desirable and valuable publications were received from contemporary institutions, both domes- tic and foreign, in exchange for the publications of the Museum. The number was especially noticeable because of the enormously enhanced cost of book-production. The Museum was most fortunate in receiving 308 Fierp Museum or Natura History — Reports, Vou. V. from the Museum of Comparative Zodlogy, Harvard College, an almost complete set of its Memoirs, thirty-four volumes, covering the years 1864 to 1916. From the Sullivant Moss Society, New York City, was received a set to date of its publication, The Bryologist, in sixteen vol- umes. One hundred and seventeen books were bound during the year. While it ordinarily is unwise to keep separate numbers of serials and periodicals in an unbound condition, the prices of all materials used in binding having increased nearly one hundred per cent in the past few years, binding at present prices seems prohibitive. There were written and filed in the catalogues 18,054 cards. The regular monthly installment of author cards was received from the John Crerar Library. ‘The Museum is unusually indebted this year to large libraries both in and out of Chicago for the loan of books that were necessary in the performance of its work; these courtesies are gratefully ac- knowledged, especially to the Library of Congress, the Library of the Department of Agriculture, the Surgeon General’s Library, the John Crerar Library and the Library of the University of Chicago. A list of all accessions received by the Library during the year will be found elsewhere in this report. DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LABELING.—During the year, in the Department of Anthropology, the work of cataloguing has been carried on as new accessions were acquired, but this task was naturally eclipsed by the necessary preparations for moving collections into the new building. The total number of catalogue cards prepared amounts to 577. These cards were distributed over the single divisions as follows: China, Japan, and India 117; Melanesian Ethnology 325; South-West, Mexican, and South American Archeology 125; and North American Ethnology 10. All these cards have been entered in the inventory books of the Department, which now number thirty- eight. The number of annual accessions amounts to twenty-five, nineteen of which have been entered. The total number of catalogue cards entered from the opening of the first volume amounts to 153,548. The photographer made 297 negatives and two enlargements, and sup- plied 370 prints to the Department, 160 of these referring to Japanese sword-guards. Twenty-four prints were added to the photographic albums kept in the Department. The printer delivered to the Depart- ment a total of 5,419 labels for use in exhibition cases. These labels are distributed as follows: New Guinea 1,939; Eskimo and Northwest Coast 2,622; Mexico 841; and China 17. The printer further supplied the Department with 700 catalogue cards. 373 new label cards were added to the label file. In the Department of Botany the entries made number 4,586, JAN., 1920.

The entries made during the year number 5o1. These were chiefly of specimens of the Klechner and Dahlgren col- lections. A few labels have been made to fill gaps in the series of ex- hibition labels. Owing to the inaccessibility of most of the study collections in the Department of Zoology, due to the preparation for removal to the new building, comparatively little cataloguing and labelling has been pos- sible. The total entries made during the year number 553. ‘There have been added 153 new entries in the Division of Ichthyology and 87 in Herpetology. Data for these entries have been added to the card catalogue and the specimens have been duly labelled and tin-tagged. Labels have also been prepared for a considerable portion of the exhibi- tion collection in Ichthyology. Only 2 entries were made during the year in the Division of Osteology, an African elephant skull and a white rhinoceros skull received in exchange from the American Museum of Natural History. These were catalogued and index cards written to complete the record. In the Division of Mammalogy 6 catalogue entries were made and in the Division of Ornithology 305. The total entries to date number to1,014. The cards written during the year number 193, making a total of 34,406.

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

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 311 and not a man could find in his heart to speak ill of him.” Subsequently, he received an invitation from the Emperor of China to come to Peking, where he spent a year in one of the Lama temples, highly honored by the whole country. In 1780 he died a mysterious death, at the age of forty-two, officially of small-pox, but more probably of poison ad- ministered by imperial jealousy and disapproval of his intercourse with the English. Technically his image is a masterpiece and the finest specimen of cloisonné in the Institution. The background is yellow to indicate the robe of imperial yellow silk conferred upon the hierarch by the Emperor. The designs woven in this robe are all skillfully brought out by the process of inlaid enamels and represent the eight Buddhistic emblems of happy augury,—canopy, wheel of the law, conch, umbrella, - lotus, vase, knotted cords, and double fish. The mitre is decorated with two red dragons soaring in clouds. The pedestal is ornamented in front with two lions in green, playing with a ball, and two dragons pur- suing the flamed pearl; two elephants bearing tribute-gifts are shown on the sides, and three lotus-blossoms decorate the back of the base. Face and hands are gilt. Both composition and coloration are dignified and harmonious, and the statue conveys an excellent characterization of this historically interesting Grand Lama. Mr. Edward E. Ayer remembered the Department during the winter spent on the Pacific Coast, and a collection of six excellent krises, five from the Moham- medan Moro of the Philippines and one of Borneo manufacture, prob- ably from the Kenyah or Kayan, is due to his generosity. The Borneo blade is beautifully chased and inlaid with brass, while the ivory handle is decorated with elaborate carvings. Three of the Philippine knives have wavy blades, and two are of the straight blade variety. In the latter group is a specimen of particularinterest, because it is inlaid with a conventionalized floral pattern next to the hilt. A feather head-band used in the white-deer dance of the Indians of California, a good stone ‘mortar with pestle, and a metate with muller, used by a child, were like- wise presented by Mr. Ayer. His further contribution during the year is a Sioux woman’s beaded dress of buckskin, taken by the late Lieut. Frederick Schwatka of the 3rd Cavalry from the village of the hostile Sioux chief, American Horse. This sleeveless, one-piece dress is probably unique owing to the large quantity of pink beads displayed over the back and breast extending onto the arms. This feature, together with its extraordinary state of preservation, makes it a museum specimen of the first order and now rarely encountered. A very unusual and beautiful ancient slate carving of the Haida on Queen Charlotte Islands, B. C., likewise obtained by Lieut. Schwatka at Victoria, B. C., in 1891, was presented by Mr. Martin A. Ryerson. It isa master- 312. Frerp Musrum oF Natura History — Reports, Vot. V. piece of primitive sculpture. During the year Mr. Homer E. Sargent made two notable additions to his previous extensive contribution of 1917. These comprise two Pueblo squaw dresses secured about thirty years ago, three excellent Navaho blankets of native wool and dyes, and a Salish blanket of mountain-sheep wool, all of which strengthen the former gift. The last-named blanket is illustrated in this Report. To the continued interest of Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus the Museum is further indebted for four remarkable additions,—first, a very important and most interesting collection coming from the native tribes of Formosa and brought to this country by S. Ishii, who for fifteen years has been chief of the Ethnological Survey of the Japanese Government on that island. It is well known that the task of the traveler and collector is fraught there with difficulties, expecially in view of the fact that the wild tribes are secluded in the high mountainous regions. ‘There are in this collection two complete costumes, one worn by a warrior chief on head-hunting expeditions, and a woman’s dress. Other prominent features are three fine necklaces of agate and colored Venetian beads, which are highly prized by the natives and used for bartering purposes; several valuable wood carvings decorated with ar- tistic designs; large pieces of textiles; a sword with a wooden scabbard carved with interesting ornaments; the model of a dugout, and several carved tobacco pipes and musical instruments. In view of the close affinity of the culture of the Formosan tribes with that of the Philip- pines, especially northern Luzon, which, for instance, is brought out by the artistic decorations of these specimens, this new material is of con- siderable scientific interest. A number of interesting photographs and two albums illustrating scenes of native life are added to the collection, which, it is hoped, will be placed on exhibition in the new building and act as a stimulus for future research in Formosa. Dr. Gunsaulus likewise presented a fine decorated metal shield from India and a celadon flower-vase in the shape of an elephant. Four glazed, orna- mented porcelain tiles from Persia, due to his generosity, constitute a good beginning for a Persian collection. Miss Helen C. Gunsaulus donated a Japanese dagger with decorated sheath and hilt. Mrs. Henry J. Patten of Chicago presented an extraordinary ancient feather blanket from Rotorua, New Zealand, which was formerly the property of a Maori chief. A collection of 33 specimens from China was received from Mrs. Morgan S. Woodward of Chicago, being collected by herself at Peking in 1900, after going through the siege of the British Legation by the Boxer rebels. Among these are some trophies captured by American soldiers from the Boxers, the most curious object being a large jingal, about sixty pounds in weight, and inscribed in Chinese as hav- JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 313 ing been made in 1896in the Arsenal of Tientsin; such jingals were carried by two soldiers on their shoulders and fired by a third man standing behind. Mr. G. L. Fitz-William, chemical and mining engineer of Hammond, Indiana, presented the Museum with an important ethno- graphical collection from the San Blas Indians, whom he had visited and studied. At the donor’s request, this collection is to be named, in honor of his son, the ‘‘William Fitz-William Collection.”” The material is an excellent and representative collection from a very interesting tribe on the Isthmus of Panama. While not far removed from contact with civilization, this people preserves its aboriginality and particularly its purity of blood tenaciously. While they have been much brought into the light of publicity of late, the San Blas are sel- dom visited, and their specimens are rarely seen in museums. The most interesting part of the collection consists of women’s garments, which are composed of many layers of bright colored cloths cut out in char- acteristic designs. Mr. G. F. Vivian contributed seven bows and thirty- six arrows from the Arawak of British Guiana, South America, collected by Dr. Geo. D. B. Dods; this is good and representative material, and there are several new types of arrows not heretofore in the Museum collection. Assistant Curator Mason presented eighteen ethnological and archzological objects from the Papago in Arizona, where he spent several weeks in the beginning of the year under a special leave of absence granted by the Institution. Mr. Joseph R. Morris of Deerfield, Illinois, donated twenty-three objects relating to Indian ethnology, collected at Fort Peck, Montana, in 1876. Among the prominent specimens in the lot are two choice blanket stripes, a buckskin gun-case, two splendid pouches, four knife-cases, and a netted wheel. Mr. Alfred R. Brown, Director of Education, Tonga, South Pacific, from whom the Museum purchased an Andaman Island collection in 1910, presented this year a small collection from the same group, which, while adding nothing new to the material on exhibition in the Museum, is of considerable scientific value. The technical culture of the aborigines of the Andaman Islands is not very rich, and at best yields a few weapons—chiefly bows and arrows,— some basketry, crude pottery, and scanty garments which are decorative and commemorative rather than for protection. All these are represented in this collection, and in addition a few modern imita- tions of the ancient bone-tipped arrows used in hunting and warfare. Included in the gift are two wood-carved images from the Nicobar Islands. One of these, the figure of a woman, is an excellent piece of native carving, and is a distinct addition to the exhibition collections. Such figures are believed to drive sickness and evil influences away from a house or village. While in Manokwari, Dutch New Guinea, in 314 Fre~tp Museum oF NATURAL History — Reports, VoL. V. December, 1912, Assistant Curator Lewis left a small sum in care of F. J. F. van Hasselt, a missionary stationed there, for the purpose of obtaining specimens from the north coast of Dutch New Guinea. This missionary was in the habit of taking trips every year to various parts of the coast, and stated that in the course of two or three years he could easily make a fairly representative collection. Owing to long delays in shipping caused by war conditions, the material arrived here only in July of this year. The collection comprises over three hundred speci- mens from various places along the north coast of Dutch New Guinea, including some fine large wooden figures, house ornaments, and about twenty-five ancestral images, called korwar. These are rare and valu- able. Weapons, implements, household utensils, clothing and orna- ments are all well represented. This part of New Guinea has been more or less visited by Europeans for many years, and very little of original native workmanship is at present to be had. The influx of the nu- merous Chinese and Malays settled along the coast has also tended to destroy or modify the native industries. Hence, but little from this region can be obtained, and that often betrays foreign influence. The Department of Botany received the following important ad- ditions to its herbarium during the year: From the Philippine Bureau of Sciences 646 plants of the Philippines; Miss Anna King 300 specimens from Illinois; Paul C. Standley 285 Mexican plants of Arséne and Nicolas; B. F. Bush 70 plants of Missouri; Geological Survey of Canada 248 Canadian plants; Mrs. Stanley Field Plant Reproduction Section to2 plants of Georgia and Florida; Bernice Pauhai Bishop Museum 262 Hawaiian plants; The New York Botanical Garden 507 West Indian plants; C. F. Millspaugh 65 Wisconsin plants; H. M. Denslow 73 New England plants, and F. E. McDonald 63 plants of Illinois.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 317 only for the amount of the material contained in it, but also for its well- prepared condition. The collection consists of two principal series, one chiefly of remains of mastodons obtained in Minooka, Illinois, and the other of specimens of mosasaurs from Kansas. The mastodon material includes remains of eight individuals, which range in age from a young calf to an adult. Of one large, adult male, portions of the skull, complete lower jaws, many limb bones, vertebrae, ribs and foot bones are preserved, as well as a tusk nine feet in length, probably the largest tusk of an animal of this species ever found. The other individu- als of this series are represented by various skeletal parts, an especially important feature being that the entire tooth development of the masto- don is shown by specimens ranging from the first milk teeth to the ponderous, grinding molars of the male adult. Of the collection il- lustrating mosasaurs, the most important feature is two nearly perfect skulls, one two feet, the other eighteen inches in length which have been carefully excavated from their matrix and mounted free. These display in remarkable completeness the characters of the heads of these extinct “‘sea serpents.”’ Some vertebrae are also associated with these skulls. A large jaw of a Columbian mammoth and a head of the fossil fish, Gillicus, also are included in the collection. Three complete individuals from the meteorite fall which occurred at Cumberland Falls, Kentucky, in April of this year, have been added to the meteorite collection, one being the gift of Mr. W. R. Jillson. The meteorites of this fall are of peculiar interest on account of their unique composition and structure. Of the meteorites of Richardton, North Dakota, which fell June 30, 1918, four individuals, aggregating about ten pounds in weight, were ob- tained, partly by purchase and partly by exchange with Professor T. T. Quirke. By exchange with the British Museum, representative speci- mens of the Baroti, Kuttipuram and Warbreccan meteorites were secured. A specimen of amethyst showing remarkable distribution of color, and two valuable crystals of scheelite were presented by Mr. W. J. Chalmers as additions to the Chalmers crystal collection. Several specimens of high-grade gold ore from Cripple Creek, Colorado, showing considerable free gold, were presented with other material by Mrs. G. Mace, and a collection containing, among other specimens, several minerals used in optical work was received by gift from Dr. Geo. M. Gill. By exchange with Prof. M. E. Kleckner, about one hundred speci- mens of crystallized celestite, fluorite, calcite and sphalerite from locali- ties in Ohio and Michigan and of forms previously unrepresented in the Museum were obtained. Six specimens of typical Barbadoes earth and one of globigerina marl from the Barbadoes Islands were obtained by exchange with the University of Iowa. These illustrate deposits of 318 Frerp MusEum or Natura History — Reports, Vot. V. deep-sea origin which also have industrial uses. Dr. B. E. Dahlgren during his stay in Florida and other southern states collected for the department about one hundred and thirty geological specimens chiefly from Florida, but also from localities in Kentucky and Tennessee. These included sixteen specimens of varieties of soils, marls, mucks and sands characteristic of certain portions of Florida; several large specimens of coquina, illustrating the varieties and forms which characterize the structure of this peculiar aggregate, and ninety specimens of inverte- brate fossils, partly from recent formations in Florida and partly from formations of Chester age in Kentucky and Tennessee. The principal accession during the year in the Division of Mammal- ogy was secured by gift from Col. Dale Bumstead of Oak Park. It consists of three well-prepared skins and skulls of the Lower California mountain sheep and several skulls of mule deer. The Division of Ornithology received 217 bird skins, 67 of which represent a part of the Museum’s share from the Collins-Day expedition. An African elephant skull and a white rhinoceros skull were received as an exchange from the American Museum of Natural History. Among the additions made to the shell collection is a gift from Mr. Giuseppe Despott of the Natural History Museum in Malta, which consists of 433 namned and well labeled specimens from the Maltese Islands. The fact that the Museum had few shells from these islands adds to the value of this acquisition. There were 949 Shells and 10 crustaceans added to the Department during the year. A total of 63 specimens of insects was received, of which number 57 were a gift and 6 an exchange. The accessions in the Division of Ichthyology and Herpetology consisted chiefly of gifts, totaling 284 specimens. The most important of these is a collection of thirty amphi- bians and reptiles from the Mississippi River Valley, presented by Mr. J. W. Mackelden of St. Louis. Mr. Leon L. Pray, Mr. William J. Gerhard, Mr. Herbert L. Stoddard, and others, added a number of desiderata to the collection of Illinois and Indiana snakes. Mr. Stoddard also donated a collection of wall lizards, taken by him while in the service in France. Mr. J. G. Sinclair presented a few amphibians and reptiles from Arizona, Mr. M. H. Sackheim three from New Mexico, and Mr. Charles L. Hubbs several from southern California. EXPEDITIONS AND FigLD Work.—Finds of remains of mastodon at two localities, Monee, Illinois, and Leiter’s Ford, Indiana, were investigated by Assistant Curator Riggs. The mode of the occurrence of the bones at these localities was studied, some exploration conducted at the sites and negotiations entered into with the owners of the specimens which may result in securing desirable material later. As a result of a trip to Porcupine, Ontario, Canada, gold-mining district, a number of typical ‘soInj}eato snouostod asayy Jo yezIqQvy ot} Jo UoNsessns v YIIM s}UNOUW Jo[qv} UO paT[eysuT "SNOIAHOOS dIHM ONY SNOIdYOOS “IAXT ALV1d ‘SLYOd3uy : “AYOLSIH IWHNLYN 4O WNASNW G13l4 1K JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 319 ores and rocks of the region were secured by Assistant Curator Nichols. Assistant Curator Hubbs carried on some local field work for the Depart- ment of Zodlogy, obtaining a number of specimens for mounting in small groups, as well as a series of certain species for the study collection. INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT——Most of the time of the members of the staff of the Department of Anthropology was consumed by the complex preparations in connection with the moving operations, chiefly assembling, sorting, and arranging mate- rial for packing, dismantling and charting cases, preparing and labeling material for future installation in the new building, and keeping exact records of the location of packed material. As a sequel to this labor, all plans previously prepared for the halls of the new building were sub- jected to a thorough revision and to numerous modifications. Frequent visits were made to the new building by members of the staff, and the study of actual conditions permitted the visualizing of the situation more correctly than was possible from the floor plans. The total result of this year’s packing in the Department of Anthropology may be summed up in dry figures as follows: 615 exhibition cases, 320 boxes, 457 crates, 76 cartons, 80 bundles or packages in burlap, and 27 kegs and barrels. All these items have been properly labeled and numbered. ‘The process of packing may be regarded as practically completed. There were prepared for installation in the new building 101 cases, covering the Eskimo and the tribes of the northwest Coast of America, the Coast and Interior Salish, and the Plateau Indians. This required the complete or partial dismantling of 123 cases formerly on exhibi- tion. In conformity with the new principles of installation, all dupli- cate material was eliminated, which has resulted in a net saving of twenty-two cases. In the new arrangement, also a considerable quan- tity of material formerly in storage is placed on exhibition, while many large specimens which have stood in the open, or have been attached to the walls, are now safely sheltered behind glass. It has been the endeavor to arrange the material in geographical and cultural sequence using an adequate number of specimens to illustrate the every-day, esthetic, and religious life of the people. In the Divisions of Archaeology and Ethnology twenty-two cases were arranged for future installation in the new building. These refer to the archaeology of Colombia and Mexico and to the ethnology of the Upper Amazon, Central Brazil and Paraguay. In most instances, all available material was selected for exhibition, but surplus and duplicate objects have been relegated to study and exchange collections. Special care has been taken of the group cases. A detailed plan of each has been made to be utilized in the new building for the reconstruction of the groups. Reproductions 320 Fretp Museum or NaturaL History — Reports, Vot. V. of three Hopi altar-mosaics of the Powamu ceremony in papier-maché and in their correct colors have been made, which may eventually replace the present mosaics of sand. In view of the importance of the packing operations, the repair section of the Department was tempor- arily closed until October 1st. Careful attention was devoted to the treatment of the Egyptian sculptural stones in the Department, which was carried on under the supervision of the Curator of Geology. The results thus far obtained are very satisfactory. Seventy-five cases were cleaned and poisoned during the year. The appointment of Miss Helen C. Gunsaulus as Assistant Curator of Japanese Ethnology, permits the systematic and intelligent study and disposition of con- siderable material in this division already in the possession of the De- partment of Anthropology. Miss Gunsaulus brings to the work she has undertaken, studious habit and special training, with enthusiasm and aptness for museum practice, as the work thus far done upon the collections in this division gives evidence. The Department of Botany installed no cases during the year, the time of the staff being expended in packing for removal to the new building. All the exhibition cases in the department were securely packed for transportation; this packing being so done that the contents of each case may be returned thereto with a minimum of time expended. Such specimens as could not be fastened securely im situ in the cases, were enclosed in cartons and packed in the lockers of the cases to which they pertain. The base lockers in each case were utilized for packing. In them were placed all duplicate and study specimens, each in an individual paper box or corrugated paper parcel, and all bottles enclosed in “egg-case” partitioned cartons designed to fit the bottles. Thus the specimens of each case remain with the case to which they pertain. Lockers not needed for the case contents were packed with bundles of mounted plants belonging to the herbarium collections. The exhibition cases are now all ready for removal and labeled as to the hall and spot on the floor of each hall that they are to occupy in the new building. Notwithstanding this packing, a large number of the cases are still on creditable exhibit, not materially disturbed though fully ready for transportation. In addition to the exhibition case packing, over 480 numbered boxes and crates of material have been packed for removal. In all cases a complete record has been kept of the packages and their contents. While the herbarium has not yet been disorganized, it has been made ready for packing while still referable. This and the appurtenances of the offices and laboratories can be prepared for removal promptly after transportation actually begins. The plant reproductions made in the Mrs. Stanley Field Laboratories, have been JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. gar left on exhibition in their regular places in each case. These will remain so installed until the moving force begins operations. The work of the staff of the Mrs. Stanley Field Laboratories has not been interrupted. The first four and a half months of the year were spent in Miami, Florida, where the laboratory and garden of the Plant Introduction Station of the U. S. Department of Agriculture served as headquarters and furnished facilities and accommodation. For this the Museum is indebted to Mr. David Fairchild, Agricultural Explorer in charge of the Plant Introduction Bureau of Plant Industry in Washington, and to Mr. Edward Simmonds, Superintendent of the Garden and Field Station in Miami, to the former for liberally extending to the Museum the privi- leges of the laboratory and station, and to the latter for innumerable acts of kindness and assistance, which made it possible to pursue the work successfully here. Thanks are also due to Mrs. Simmonds and the members of the staff of the Department of Agriculture who were stationed at the Laboratory during the past winter, viz., Dr. J. Rosen- baum, plant pathologist, Mr. Chas. E. Sando, plant physiologist, and Mr. Max Kisliuk, entomologist. The friendly and helpful attitude of all these men was a matter greatly to be appreciated in the rather narrow quarters of the laboratory. The main object of transferring the work to Florida for the winter was to secure studies and material for certain desirable plants which could be had and handled there more readily and economically than anywhere, namely: the Cocoanut palm, the Banana, the Pineapple, the Florida Cycad (Zamia), etc. The material needed for the reproduction of the specimens was secured. The most perishable parts were cast and colored and plaster moulds were made of other parts, formalin material packed and sent to the Museum, and photographs, color sketches and detail studies secured for use after return. At the same time there were found in the Plant Introduction Garden a number of interesting plants which fitted exactly into the plans for the Museum botanical exhibits. Such were, for in- _ stance, the South African Carissa or Natal Plum, introduced into the United States in 1901 by Mr. Fairchild and now grown as a hedge plant in many places in southern Florida. This is an excellent example of the type cf plant which can scarcely be reproduced successfully except in the field, where it can be studied from day to day as the work progresses. The Silk Cotton tree, Bombax, with its large crimson flowers furnishes another such illustration. One of these flowers was made on the spot during the week or ten days the tree was in blossom. On the strength of this and the moulds which were made at the same time, a splendid branch of the Silk Cotton tree has been added to the exhibits. Another introduced South African plant of much interest found growing in the 322 Frerp MusEeum or Natura History — Reports, Vot. V. subtropical garden was a scrubby tree of the Strychnine family, Strych- nos spinosus, with large green or yellow fruit superficially resembling a grapefruit, but with a hard shell and chocolate colored pulp of pleasant taste and a clove like fragrance. A flowering and fruiting branch of this has also been added to the exhibits. One of the main lines of investiga- tion and experimental culture pursued at the garden concerns Avocadoes, or Alligator Pears. Numerous varieties from diverse localities are being tried out here, with a view to the introduction into Florida of those found most suitable and valuable for general cultivation. Three thoroughly well-defined types, a Guatemalan, a Mexican and a West Indian, together with a Guatemalan-Mexican hybrid, were considered of sufficient public interest to be added to the collection. Of these reproductions were made. A number of other plants especially desired by the Department for its exhibits were collected and cast or modeled in part during the period in Miami. Such are the Seven-year Apple (Casasia), Pandanus, the Screw-pine, in flower; Casuarina Australian Pine or Beef-wood tree, Long staple Cotton, Water Hyacinth, etc. A pitcher-plant of the southern large-leaved, yellow flowered species, Sarracenia flava, was collectedon the return to Chicago in the latter part of May. A single pitcher of this plant, measuring 38 inches, has since been reproduced and placed on exhibition. Some tubers and plants which were brought back in a living condition are being grown for the Museum by the Garfield Park greenhouse. Among these are a large Yam, a Zamia, etc. A Spider Lily (Hymenocallis caribea) from Florida, grown at Garfield Park, has been reproduced as a type of Amaryllid lily. Within the last few months a Banana plant (a flowering and fruiting specimen) has been reproduced complete and has been installed tempora- rily on the gallery. Also a sprouted Cocoanut showing the relation of the seedling plant to the seed and old husk; a Cocoanut flower enlarged; the flowers of Casuarina enlarged; enlarged flowers of Scrophularia; enlarged flowers of Sagittarta; a branch of a Quince from Fort Valley, Georgia; awitches’-broom on the Sand pine; a mounted dry specimen of air plant (Tillandsia); a reproduction of the Natal Plum, a branch with fruits and flowers. A set of tomatoes, parasitized by the different fungi that constitute the main pests of this industry, were obtained at the Miami Laboratory, where this matter was being investigated, and were reproduced for the economic collections. At the same time pure cultures of the fungi in question were furnished by the plant-pathologist, and it is the intention of the Department to exhibit in connection with the affected fruit a model of each fungus sufficiently enlarged to make its structure plain to the naked eye. A longitudinal section of a common Fig enlarged, together with a corresponding model of the male fig, or JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 323 capri-fig, has just been completed. It shows as plainly as such models can the interesting and peculiar story of the pollination of the fig, and the intricate life-history of the minute hymenopterous insect concerned. A flowering branch of Grevillea robusta Australian oak, with the enlarged flowers modeled last year, completes the illustration of the Proteaceae. A summary of the results of the year’s work in this Section is as follows: Reproductions completed and placed on exhibition: Banana, entire plant in flower and leaf; Sprouting cocoanut, entire plant; Carissa grandiflora, fruit and flower branch of leaf; Cydonia japondas, branch in fruit and leaf; Scrophularia Marylandica, flower enlarged; Hymeno- calles caribea, entire plant; Strychnos spinosus, fruit and flower in leaf; Sagittaria latifobia, flower enlarged; Casuarina equisetifolia, flower enlarged; Casasia clusiiflolia, branch fruiting and leafing; Bombax grandifiora, branch flowering and leafing; Grevillea robusta, branch flowering and in leaf; Rhizoctonia solani, Macrosporium solani, Phyto- phiora infestans, Phoma destructiva, on Lycopersicum esculentum; also parts of Zamia, Cocoa, Amanas and Gossypium. In the Department of Geology some installation has been performed, chiefly for the purpose of putting some mounts into such condition that they could be moved with safety. Tothis end, mounting ofalarge skele- ton of Megacerops was completed and the mount placed in a case in which it is at present exhibited and can probably be transported. This skeleton is made up entirely of the bones of a single individual and is very nearly anatomically complete, only two or three vertebrae being missing. A few of the limb bones were modeled from corresponding parts on the opposite side, but this was done with entire accuracy by casting. The skeleton is the only one of this genus which has as yet been mounted in any museum, and is the first specimen to show that the members of the genus were long-tailed animals. It was among the most primitive of the Oligocene titanotheres and was about the size of the modern black rhinoceros. The skeleton is mounted in three-quarters relief. The matrix, base and background against which the skeleton is shown have been made of plaster, colored to imitate the greenish clay in which the specimen wasfound. The plaster has also been tooled in such a manner as to suggest the excavation of the skeleton from the matrix. The posture is that of an animal in life, the skeleton being supported on its feet. The head, neck, torso and right limbs are, however, connected with the background for support, and the feet are partially enclosed in the matrix. Iron rods, made as inconspicuous as possible, have been introduced to support the left limbs. The specimen was collected in South Dakota in 1898 by a Museum expedition. After dismounting some of the dinosaur specimens for packing, the opportunity was im- 324 Fietp MusEeum or NaturaLt History — Reports, Vo. V. proved to make some modifications in the positions of the bones which study had shown would more correctly represent their relations. Some readjustments of the installation of the meteroite collection have been made in order to introduce new specimens and group more closely the different classes. Packing of exhibited specimens has been carried on as rapidly as possible during the year, and as a result the contents of two hundred and forty-one cases have been made ready for shipment, leaving only thirty-eight cases still to be packed. In addition, the work of packing the remaining study and stored collections has been carried on and brought to completion except for some specimens now stored in the basement. Practically all material exhibited on bases, such as the large fossil vertebrate mounts, has also, with the exception of the large dinosaur, been disassembled as far as was necessary and made ready for transportation. In choosing the sequence of collections for packing, those in halls somewhat removed from the main passageways were taken first, in order that the movements of visitors might be interfered with as little as possible while the work of packing was going on. All but three halls of the Department have now been closed to the public, and their contents packed. In these three remaining halls many of the specimens have been packed in such a way as to make them still available for observation. In packing, owing to the weight and hardness of many of the specimens on exhibition in the Department, it was found necessary to remove most of them from the cases and place them in boxes of sizes and shapes suitable for their transportation. In so doing considerable attention was paid to recording the position of the speci- mens in the cases in such a way as to ensure their rapid and accurate reinstallation on their arrival at the new building. For this purpose each case was given an arbitrary number which includes the temporary number of the hall to which the case is to be sent in the new building. This number has also an absolute value, and is to be retainedfor the case evenif anotherlocation forthe caseshould bedecidedupon. Before remov- ing the specimens from the case, each specimen was given anumber showing the location of the specimen within the case, the numbering being in a uniform order for each case, where the specimens were installed in such a manner as to permit. Thus a number 3-10 indicates that in rein- stallation the specimen is to be placed on the third shelf from the top of the case and tenth in position from the left end of the shelf. A label bearing this installation number is wrapped with each specimen and on the reverse side of the corresponding printed label a similar number is penciled. In some cases the installation numbers of the specimens were marked on slips which were then fastened in the cases in the positions which the specimens occupied. In other cases, especially where the JAN., 1920 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 325 installation did not fall into orderly lines, sketches were made on cross- section paper which showed in each case the amount and position of the space occupied by each specimen; the spaces were then numbered and corresponding numbers were wrapped with the specimens and penciled on the labels. The sketch itself was then in each instance fastened inside the corresponding case, so as to prevent its being transferred to any other exhibit. Specimens mounted upon tablets, which include most of the invertebrate fossils, were, for the most part, fastened securely in drawers underneath the cases. Sketches of the positions of the tablets in the cases were first made and numbered and corresponding numbers were penciled on the reverse sides of the tablets. Upon the outside of all packages and boxes containing specimens removed from cases, large department labels similar to those fastened inside the exhibition cases have been placed, giving the corresponding hall and case numbers, so as to insure constant connection of the specimens with the case. There is, further, painted on each package or box a brief label in the department color which describes the nature of the contents. A record has also been prepared in book form which shows in detail the numbers and forms of the exhibition cases and in adjoining columns the halls and alcoves in which the cases are to be placed. As containers for specimens to be packed, boxes and barrels were chiefly used, boxes of the size 36” x 20” x 14” being found especially suitable. Several thousand cartons and small wooden boxes were also employed, either as shipment units or for enclosing individual specimens or groups of specimens in larger boxes. Specimens which would be injured by moving in any other than an upright position were fastened in the exhibition cases. The method for fastening usually adopted was that of screwing metal studs into the metal strips used for supporting brackets at the back of the case and fastening wooden strips on the front of the studs in such a manner as to firmly enclose the specimen and its accompaniment of packing mate- rial. Other specimens of such shape that their transportation in boxes would be unsafe, were similarly packed in the cases, and the speci- men labels have generally been packed in the cases in which they were originally exhibited. The packing of the fossil collections especially called for varied handling according to weight, mass and fragility. Much storage material which was still in the plaster and burlap wrapping in which it came from the field, was packed in strong boxes of 7% inch lumber. The collections stored in wooden trays, consisting mostly of specimens that had partially been removed from the matrix, were packed in the trays. Specimens in smaller containers, such as paper trays, were wrapped with the trays, each with its label enclosed, and the whole packed snugly in wooden trays by the use of excelsior. These trays 326 Frerp Museum oF NaturaL History — Reports, VoL. V. were then stacked to form units of 15 inches in height, the uppermost tray being turned bottom up so as to formacover. The whole was then formed into a bale. This proved not only the quickest and most effective means of packing, but had the advantage of keeping the specimens in the same trays which are to serve as storage for them in the new building. The large casts, such as those of Megatherium and Had- rosaurus were taken down and crated in sections. The head and legs were removed, and the thorax reenforced by longitudinal rods lashed across the ribs and secured at either end. All were then crated in units of such size as to permit easy transportation. Smaller skeletons, such as those of the Irish Deer, Glyptodon and Uintatherium were crated on their bases, with the heads removed when too large to be readily enclosed. Smaller skeletons of a fragile nature were, with their bases, placed in light crates, and were secured by a series of cordage stays running to the sides of the crates. Thus secured, the specimens were returned to the exhibition cases and fastened in position either by means of wires running to iron straps in the back of the case or by blocks screwed to the bottom of the case. Specimens packed in exhibition cases in this way are believed to be assured a safer handling than those placed in unprotected crates. Smaller specimens, such as skulls, were generally packed in paper cartons and secured in the exhibition cases either by blocks or by long, wooden braces fastened to iron studs screwed into the perforated and threaded strips designed to support the shelf- brackets. In some instances, however, the cartons were packed in large, wooden boxes. Very large skulls, such as those of Titanotherium and Eobasileus, were packed in special wooden crates and the whole returned to the exhibition cases to be moved in them. The Miocene camel skeleton was packed by disarticulating the legs, removing the head and pelvis, and supporting the torso on short, upright rods attached to a temporary base. The whole was then fastened firmly in an exhibition case. A number of heavy and fragile objects, such as specimens of Daemonelix and dinosaur bones, required re-enforcing. This was accom- plished by the use of plaster and burlap, plaster and iron rods or a combination of all these. Since the spirals of Daemonelix made up of loosely-cemented sand, would little more than bear their own weight when in an upright position, they were, before removal from the ex- hibition case, reenforced with plaster and strips of burlap. To guard against possible breakage and crumbling, four quarter-inch rods were laid across the spirals parallel to their main axes. The peripheries of the spirals were then wound with plaster bandages which, crossing the rods at every turn, bound the whole firmly together. The mounts of dinosaur limbs were taken down and each large bone crated separately. JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 327 Previously to crating, the bones were covered with tissue paper to pre- vent the plaster from adhering to their finished surfaces, 2x4 inch timbers were fitted to the surfaces thus prepared, and all was lashed fast with plaster and burlap bandages. A similar treatment was given the large skull of Triceratops, which, owing to its thin and brittle substance, re- quired especial care. Secure packing of the six hundred specimens of crude petroleum also presented a problem of some difficulty. These oils were exhibited in glass-stoppered bottles eighteen inches high and an inch and a quarter in diameter. No practicable method of sealing the stoppers oil-tight without defacing the bottles was found, since leakage was to be expected if the bottles were not maintained in an upright position. It was necessary also to avoid the use of excelsior or other finely divided packing material which might, in case of accident, become saturated with oil. Accordingly the stoppers were secured against loosening by tying caps of cheesecloth over them. ‘The bottles were then placed in light, wooden boxes each of a size to hold thirty and of a height to allow one-quarter of the length of each bottle to project. To each box two pieces of heavy straw board were fitted, one two inches from the bottom and one over the top, and in these boards holes slightly larger than the diameter of the bottles were cut. When the bottles were threaded through these holes they were held flexibly but securely in position, and the upper quarter of the bottles projecting above the box was covered by crating which permitted a free view of the character of the contents and will protect the box from being inverted or roughly handled. ‘To further facilitate carrying the bottles in proper positions, each box was equipped with suitable handles. The larger bottles of the collection, some of them eighteen inches in diameter, were similarly packed, though in specially made crates. Boxes of special sizes were also provided for the collection of marbles, the size chosen being such as to permit rapid packing and avoid too great weight. Of the series on _ exhibition in the West Court, the relief maps and the large model of the moon have been taken down and packed, leaving only the mete- orite, crystal and gem collections now on exhibition. Packing has been actively pursued in the Department of Zodlogy dur- ing the year. The only material in the Division of Mammalogy and Ornithology not ready for moving consists of the large habitat groups and the study collection of birds. The entire serial exhibition col- lections of mammals and birds have been secured in situ in their cases by means of cleats and braces or other devices to hold them securely in place. The study collection of mammals has been fully packed, mostly in original containers and the rooms in which they were kept have been dismantled. When not engaged in packing, one assistant has continued 328 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. in the preparation of plant accessories for the several large mammal groups still uncompleted, the Olympic elk group, the bison group, and the capybara group. The taxidermists have finished the preliminary models and manikins for a single Alaska moose. A giraffe and a hippo- potamus are partly finished and practically ready for installation. The entire collection of the Division of Ichthyology and Herpetology was packed during the year and is now ready for shipment to the new build- ing. The Section of Taxidermy has prepared the accessories for a number of small groups of local fishes and has been engaged in mounting certain fishes to fill in gaps in the synoptic series, which it is planned to make comparatively complete. In the Division of Entomology over three months at the beginning of the year were devoted to preparations for moving. As the entomological collections can be packed rather expeditiously and as it was unwise to render them inaccessible for any great length of time, the members of this Division assisted in the prepa- ration of other material for removal. A large part of the year has been devoted to the making of two insect groups for a new case that was designed and built to accommodate them. One of the groups will repre- sent the most conspicuous and characteristic insects of the sand dune region at Miller, Indiana, and the other will show the well known and destructive tomato worm in all its stages and with wax reproductions of its natural surroundings, etc. For specimens, casts of burrows, leaves and other accessory material, local field trips were made whenever they were considered necessary. While neither of the two groups has yet been finished, both have been so far advanced toward completion that they will be ready for installation by the latter part of January. The Division of Osteology packed fifteen exhibition cases with mounted skeletons and eighty-nine crates and boxes of various sizes, such as those for the whale, elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus and camel, including small ones for small ligamentary skeletons and skulls, which are now ready for removal. The skeletons, numbering twenty-seven (mostly ligamentary), that could not be packed in the condition they were in, were remounted. THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. — At the close of the year there were 646 cases available for circulation among the public schools of Chicago. In view of the painstaking me- thods employed in the taxidermy and accessory work of all zodlogical groups, it is with pride and pleasure that attention is called to the fact that of the total cases available for circulation, fifty-eight zodlogical cases were completed during the past year. When plans were being formulated for the actual loaning of cases to the public schools, it was the opinion of a committee composed of school JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 329 principals that only schools of elementary grades would be best served with loan cases. This idea has been followed out from the inauguration of the system up to the present time. During the next scholastic year the high schools, at the written request of Mr. J. E. Armstrong, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, will be scheduled to receive cases. In his request Mr. Armstrong said of the cases, “I have studied them with great interest and am firmly of the opinion that they would be of very great assistance in the high schools.” The Superintendent of the Municipal Pier formally requested cases be placed on exhibition on the pier during the period of school vacation, as was done last year. His request was granted and twenty-four cases were placed on exhibition there during the time specified. When the cases were returned to the Museum the Superintendent expressed his thanks and added, “I believe I am voicing the thanks also of a large body of visitors who found entertainment and instruction in leisurely contemplating your beautiful exhibits and the lessons they teach.” In reptile and similar branches of taxidermy the employment of the skin of a specimen for mounting has not given satisfactory results. The effects usually obtained being a shrunken and parchment-like surface and a fading and disappearance of the natural colors. As these faults seemed impossible to remedy, the use of the specimen’s skin for mount- ing purposes has practically been abandoned. Better, though not en- tirely approved results, have been derived by making, in plaster, cellu- loid and other materials, casts of specimens, which were afterwards painted to represent the natural colors. Painting on the surface of a skin or on a cast has never brought an effect comparable with the living model. In order to produce an effect more natural in appearance than that accomplished by the use of the skin or by casts, this Department has been, at intervals during the past year, experimenting with pyralin, celluloid and similar materials. With celluloid as a medium it is found possible to make reproductions of a character so closely resembling the structure and coloring of the skin of the living specimen as to eliminate the necessity of painting it, thus displacing the objectionable appearance of paint as it is usually employed. Experiments have also been made in foliage reproducing in celluloid, using electro-deposited metal molds which possess strength sufficient to withstand the pressure required in the molding operations. The strength and elasticity of the celluloid is such as to correct the objectionable necessity of making the artificial leaf unnaturally thick. During the year a request was received from Mr. H. Bolton, Director, Museum and Art Gallery, Bristol, England, and Secretary, Educational Section, The British Association for the Advancement of Science, for 330 Fretp Museum oF Natura History — Reports, Vot. V. information concerning the work and scope of this Department, the data thus provided to be placed before the Association’s meeting at Bournemouth in September. A request was made for the loan of several cases by the Woodlawn Branch of the Chicago Public Library. The Director of the Orthogenic Department of Rush Medical Col- lege, University of Chicago, visited this Department and after making a careful study of the cases on hand, requested the loan from time to time of several of them, stating that they would be very helpful in instructing backward children, classes of which are conducted by that college. The request was granted and two cases of economic material were loaned.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 1920 To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History: I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum for the year ending December 31, 1920. In every respect the year just closed must be considered as the most important and momentous in the history of the organization. The completion of the New Building, with the exception of the terrace, approximately five years from the date when construction operations were inaugurated, and its occupancy are two factors which make the period not alone noteworthy, but also establish a new epoch in the dissemination of scientific knowledge. The Building may be said to have been completed on or about June 1, 1920, but the transfer by rail of the collections and equipment commenced on the 26th day of April and was practically concluded by June 4th. The actual moving op- erations by railroad thus consumed thirty-four working days. The plans for moving and the organization for carrying on the task had been given careful consideration before work was begun and it isa matter of congratulation that the undertaking was carried through to its consummation without an untoward occurrence of any nature and without serious damage to the material transported. As it was thought advisable to move the heavier objects by motor trucks, this method of transfer was inaugurated early in March and continued with few interruptions daily until the beginning of September. In all 354 loads were handled in this manner and these were carried with the same satisfactory result as the loads transported by railroad. As soon as moving operations were concluded, installation was immediately undertaken as reviewed elsewhere in this report. It may be said at this date that fully one-third of the exhibition cases in the Museum have been finally placed, reinstalled and in a great many instances entirely relabeled. There is every indication that the entire exhibition area will be completely installed on or about the first of May 1921, when it is intended that the Museum shall be re-opened to the public. During the year the President of the Museum, Mr. Stanley Field, contributed the sum of $100,000.00 toward the deficit in the New 375 376 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. Building Fund. The Board of Trustees in accepting this very generous gift, expressed their appreciation with more than ordinary emphasis. It is a pleasure also to announce that a contribution of $50,000.00 in the form of 500 shares of 7% preferred stock has been made by Mr. Edward E. Ayer, the income of which after the death of Mrs. Ayer and the donor is to be expended for the purchase of scientific books, pamphlets and publications for the general Library of the Museum. This provision for the future development of the Museum Library is only another instance of Mr. Ayer’s life-long devotion and generosity to the Museum. In view of the continued interest manifested by Mr. Ayer in the expansion of the Library and especially on account of his contributions in money and books to the ornithological section, it has been decided to name the an ne Library of = Museum the “Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library.” Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contribution of the sum of $20,000.00 from the Honorable Charles R. Crane, or so much thereof as may be necessary to complete the publication of the work being prepared by the Curator of Zodlogy on “‘The Birds of the Americas.” The additions to the scientific staff and maintenance forces during the latter part of the year, having caused a deficit in the available funds for the operation of the Museum, amounting to $19,755.32, at the December meeting of the Board, the President announced that Mr. Marshall Field had volunteered to assume this deficit. President Field has further contributed the sum of $1,000.00 toward the publication of a ‘‘ Record of the Life of the North American Indian,” which is to consist of twenty volumes of text and illustrations and twenty accompanying portfolios of copper plates and photogravures, with the understanding that the Museum Library is to receive a set of the work when completed. The Corporate Members at a meeting held in May, decided to amend the Articles of Incorporation, so as to provide for an increase in the Board of Trustees of the Museum from fifteen to twenty-one members. At this date four of the created vacancies have been filled by the election of Mr. John Borden, Mr. Albert W. Harris, Mr. Solomon A. Smith and Mr. James Simpson. Through the further efforts of President Field to increase the Life Memberships of the Institution, the following were elected during the year: J. B. Lord, Thomas W. Hinde, Adolph Nathan, George D. McLaughlin, Lawrence M. Viles, D. W. Buchanan, Frank O. Wetmore, Alexander Smith, David M. Yates, Clifford M. Leonard, Frank W. Porter, Charles H. Schweppe, William Wrigley, Jr., Charles Piez, James B. Forgan, John McKinlay, Potter Palmer, Francis S. Peabody, JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 377 Charles H.

Martin, Robert Stuart, Robert W. Stewart, Henry P. Crowell, Gustavus S. Fernald and William E. Clow. Mr. James Simpson was elected a Patron of the Museum, in recog- nition of the eminent service he has rendered to the Institution. Amendments to the By-Laws made during the year have created two new classes of memberships, Associate Members and Sustaining Members, and have also provided additional privileges for all classes of memberships. These privileges ‘are indicated in the revised By-Laws which will be found in this report. In this connection also, an agreement has been entered into with other contemporary institutions for an interchange of courtesies and privileges for Life and Annual Members. The Board of Trustees had presented for their consideration during the year a proposal from the South Park Commissioners, asking the consent of the Trustees to the erection by the Commissioners of a Stadium, which it is proposed to construct on the south side of the Museum building and which would encroach one hundred and twenty feet, approximately, upon the restricted areas, which under the terms of the contract between the Museum Trustees and the South Park Commissioners providing a site for the Museum building, it was agreed should remain free of structures unless otherwise concurred in by the Museum. After full consideration of the request, the Trustees gave their consent to the construction of the Stadium as shown on the plans submitted. The ordinance under which the South Park Commissioners set aside a tract of land in Grant Park for the site of the new building, in con- sideration of which dedication the Institution is to be open free to the public three days in each week, having been brought to the attention of the Board of Trustees, it was decided that the Museum should be open free to the public on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. During the year arrangements were made with the Illinois Central Railroad to construct a foot-bridge over the tracks of the railroad at Park Row which would permit foot passage from the Park Row station platform, or from the Park just outside of the retaining walls east and west of the tracks, the Museum to assume the cost of the structure. 378 Fretp Museum or Natura History — Reports, Vot, V. This bridge has been completed and has greatly increased the means of access to the Museum. The scope of the Stanley Field Museum Employes Pension Fund has been enlarged by its founder, the execution of an insurance contract with the Aetna Insurance Company covering the lives of the personnel of the Museum, with the premium paid out of this Fund, having been authorized. In this contract it is stipulated that continuous service for one complete year is pre-requisite to securing any insurance and that the insurance automatically ceases upon the termination of the services of the insured. Employes, who on February 1, 1920, had not been in the service of the Museum for one complete year, automatically become insured at the conclusion of that period, and are progressively entitled to increasing benefits as set forth in the schedule adopted. This insur- ance is without cost to the insured and imposes no obligation not already attending the services of the employe. MAINTENANCE. —1i he sum of $170,200.00 was appropriated by the Board of Trustees for the necessary expenses of maintenance during the fiscal year. The cost of maintenance, however, amounted to approximately $190,000.00, thus creating a deficit of approximately $20,000, which, as referred to elsewhere in this report, was contributed by Mr. Marshall Field. MovinG Operations.—The following is a brief summary of the extent and cost of the transfer of all collections, material and equipment from the old building in Jackson Park to the new building in Grant Park.

THE Lisrary.—Notwithstanding the limitations that existing con- ditions have imposed, the customary activities of the Library have been carried on with a fair measure of success. There have been received by gift, exchange and purchase 1,088 books and pamphlets. The Lib- rary contains 73,824 books and pamphlets. Cards written and filed in the catalogues number 6,690. The transfer of the contents of the library to the new building was accomplished by using cartons, large wooden containers and motor trucks. The space at present assigned 380 Fretp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, Vou. V. to the office of the Library and the stack room is on the second floor. The four departmental libraries are located on the third floor in rooms adjoining each of the departments. The task of installing the exhibi- tion halls has employed all assistance available and the work of shelv- ing the libraries is in abeyance until the stack rooms can be com- pleted when considerable time and labor will be necessary to reéstablish the sequence of the original classification. The decision to have all literature pertaining to the work of the departments placed in their respective libraries necessitates a number of transfers and until these transfers are effected and inventories taken it is not possible to ac- curately state the number of books and pamphlets in each library. The books of the anthropological and botanical departments have been placed on the shelves. In the Department of Anthropology discarded exhibition cases were converted into book cases and used to good advantage. The library’s generous patron, Mr. Edward E. Ayer, pre- sented the rare eight volume edition of Audubon’s Birds of North America. During the year Mr. Ayer caused to be ordered one hundred and fourteen volumes of ornithological works. Of these eighty-one volumes have been received, a number of which are rare copies dating back to 1776, and all are beautifully illustrated. A catalogue of all the ornithological works in the library is in preparation, at the request of Mr. Ayer, who has expressed a desire to supplement his already splendid collection until it provides workers and students with as complete an ornithological reference library as is obtainable. Gifts, gratefully received from other sources, are acknowledged as such in the list of accessions appended to the report. Exchanges were received from four hundred and ninety-six institutions and individuals. The first consignment of the publications of the Museum, since pre-war days, was forwarded during the year to all countries where international exchange service has been resumed. The continued upward trend of the cost of all publications very seriously affects scientificliterature. Various societies that have existed mainly for the publication of the results of scientific research have had to either suspend publishing for the time being or discontinue exchange relations and ask for subscriptions to enable them to continue their work. Five new exchanges were effected with the following: Federated Malay States Museums, Kuala Lumpur; Museo de Etnologia y Antropologia de Chile, Santiago de Chile; Ornithological Society of Japan, Tokyo; Manchester Geographical Society of England; R. Academia de Ciencias y Artes, Barcelona. Comparatively few purchases of books have been made as the time of the staff has been wholly occupied with installation work. Subscrip- tions were entered for seventy-eight periodicals. JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 381 DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LaBELING.—During the year the work of cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology has been carried on as new accessions were acquired. In the division of Mexican and South American archeology, the remainder of the Zavaleta collec- tion, as well as the material from Ecuador and the West Indies received last year, as an exchange, from the Museum of the American Indian, New York, has been catalogued. The total number of catalogue cards prepared amounts to 1,646. These cards are distributed over the divisions as follows: Southwest, Mexican and South American Arche- ology 1,501; North American Ethnology 4; Malayan Ethnology 118; China, Japan and India 16; Near East Archeology and Ethnology 3; and African Ethnology 4. These cards have been entered in the inven- tory books of the Department, which now number thirty-eight. The number of annual accessions amounts to twenty, eighteen of which have been entered. The total number of catalogue cards entered from the opening of the first volume amounts to 155,194. A new and vigorous campaign in label writing and printing was inaugurated during the last months of the year. The progress made so far has been entirely satisfactory, numerous new labels having been added to the exhibition cases. The total number of these labels amounts to 4,139, distributed as follows: North West Coast 96; New Guinea 870; Mexico and South America 2,316; Philippines 173; China, Tibet and Korea 442; Ainu and Siberia 239; Japan 3. There were 393 new label cards added to the label file. The printer supplied the department with 975 catalogue cards. As very little new material has been added to the organized collec- tions in the Department of Botany during the year, on account of the necessities contingent upon moving, only 231 incidental entries have been made in the department catalogues, bringing the total entries up to 482,310. The card indices of the department have been augmented as follows: No. of Cards Augmented 1920 Total pen, BO sotamiesl Species’. a Eg 4,585 156,618 ceaem eo Cominon Names 2: 2.2. si a) eu x 76 20,375 Memento, Vatentar Plante 6 ee ee wa Avg 5 6,367 Meee EO EMEORMA gk la) ay 7 4,232 Eodex to Department Labels . . . 1. wf: 36 3,136 Index to Geographic Localities . . . . . .

In packing or installing the older collections specimens occasionally were found which had been overlooked in previous cataloguing, and the opportunity was improved to record these also. The total number of entries made during the year was 452. During the installation of the cases in the new building, all missing or soiled labels have been replaced as fast as the cases were installed, by new ones. As considerable care was taken in packing the labels from the old installation so that loss or injury should be avoided, the instances where such labels needed replacement were fortunately few. New labels were also provided for any specimens added that had not previously been installed, and the form, wording or size of some of the old labels was changed in instances where this seemed desirable. The total number of re-installed cases completely labeled during the year is 70 and the total number of new labels that have been prepared is 668. Cataloguing in the Department of Zodlogy during the year was reduced to that which was absolutely necessary, namely 43 entries in Mammalogy and 247 in Ornithology. Many exhibition labels have been prepared, including an entirely new set for the large habitat groups of mammals.

Sargent in the course of fifteen years and presented by him to the Museum. The present contribution of 342 baskets is merely the first installment; there are several hundred more to come by next spring. This extensive collection comprises excellent and partially old specimens from the Hupa, Pomo, Paiute, Panamint, Maidu, Mono, Chumashan, Diegeno, Chemehuevi, Navaho, and other tribes. Mr. Edward E. Ayer presented to the department a kris from the Moro on the Philippines, a Pima basket from California, several interesting objects from the Tlingit and Eskimo JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 383 of Alaska, and a Pomo feather headband. Mr. George A. Crofts of Tientsin, China, remembered the Museum with a gift of two large, remarkable clay statuettes of the T'ang period (A.D. 618-906), which have been added to the Blackstone Collection, and are placed on exhibition in a case of medizval clay figures. The gift of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin F. Gillette of a set of Japanese dolls for the Dolls’ Festival (Hina Matsurt) is a distinct addition to the Division of Japanese Ethnology. The group, illustrated in this Report, consists of a painted screen and nine dolls representing the emperor and empress of Japan, the elder and younger ministers of state, and an orchestra of five court- musicians, exactly as it would appear ina Japanese home on the occasion of the Dolls’ Festival held each year for the pleasure and instruction of little girls. Such sets, handed down as family heirlooms, are taken out of the storehouse annually, carefully unpacked, and displayed for a week on a series of shelves covered with scarlet cloth. There are gen- erally arrayed before the dolls miniature pieces of furniture, various articles for the house reproduced oftentimes in gold lacquer or in porce- lain, such as tiny tables upon which are placed offerings of food prepared by the little girls, an act which in itself tends toward promoting a deep reverence for the emperor and a knowledge of the old court and its customs. The sixfold screen, which serves as a background, possesses great merits in color and decoration. Above a stream, near which grow iris, peonies, and a sturdy pine; a white crane flies downward toward two others standing on the bank. The golden-flecked clouds and the soft greens and reds in decoration blend admirably with the brocade cos- tumes of the dolls immediately in front of the screen. These figures, made of enameled wood, are modeled with remarkable care, each expressing a distinct personality. As an illustration of the exactitude of execution, the hands and wrists of the old minister of state, which delineate real age, are truly of admirable workmanship. The costumes are all of brocade, probably a hundred years or more in age, which in itself is of value for the study of textiles and design. The head-dresses, of which there are three distinct types, besides the elaborate head-dress of the empress, are removable and exact copies of the style worn at court by the various characters here represented. The emperor and empress sit upon raised platforms, magnificently clothed, each possess- ing emblems characteristic of their offices. The empress holds a small folding-fan of wood painted with the favorite decoration of the crane flying above the pine, bamboo and plum, a combination emblematic of long life. The emperor, wearing a large sword, holds in his right hand 4 flat wooden baton of tablet shape (shaku), generally carried by all noblemen at the court. The old and young ministers are equipped with 384 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V. bows, arrows, and swords. Swords are also thrust in the belt of each of the five court-musicians, two of whom sit upon lacquered stands while the other three squat upon the ground. The musical instruments, the flute, the hand-drum, and flat-drum, are faithfully reproduced in miniature. Under the auspices of Mr. William Wrigley, Jr., the Museum entered into an agreement with the Museum of the American Indian of New York City, for the purpose of organizing an extensive archzo- logical survey of Catalina Island on the Californian coast. The under- standing was that the material resulting from this exploration should be equally divided between the two institutions. The field-work was placed in charge of Mr. George G. Heye, Director of the Museum of the American Indian, and conducted during last summer. As a result of these excavations, the Museum received from Mr. Heye in November a large quantity of archeological material, consisting chiefly of pestles, mortars, and other implements of stone, particularly steatite, bone, shell, and clay. The collection is thoroughly representative of that culture-area. In order to make this coilection more interesting and to illustrate some of the adjacent cultures in connection with it, Mr. Heye added to it as a gift to the Museum a considerable collection from San Nicholas and San Miguel islands, California, which contains a number of fine prehistoric sheli and bone ornaments. The notable additions to the herbaria during the year are: the first installment of the E. T. and S. A. Harper mycologic collection, con- sisting of about 10,000 specimens; the Santa Catalina Island collections of C. F. Millspaugh (595) and L. W. Nuttall (946 specimens) ; Pennell’s North American (55) and U.S. Colombian (33) Scrophulariacee; Mrs. Wilcoxson’s Massachusetts plants (95 specimens); Howe’s distribution of Marine Alge, principally West Indian and Bahaman (146 speci- mens); Maxon & Killip’s Jamaican Plants (1,128 specimens); E. T. & S. A. Harper’s Virginia and Massachusetts fungi of 1920 (210 speci- mens); and Ames’ Bornean Orchids. Of especial importance among the accessions of the year in the Department of Geology the Curator of the department reports that the collection of ores and minerals presented by Dr. Frederick J. V. Skiff is of especial interest and value. The Curator states: “This collection contains not only many specimens unique in beauty and rarity, but also some which since they came from localities from which it would be impossible, at the present time, to obtain specimens, may be con- sidered priceless. Series of special interest and value in the collection are the following: A number of specimens of free gold, especially from South American localities and specimens of placer gold from Colorado and Idaho; other gold ores; platinum from the Urals; some fine speci- {1} !peoy oy} Jo [BAOWOT potmbes usutoads 9uQ “qoRezyut popoAety Ioyyo ol “ONIGTING MAN OL LISNVYL NI SLNVHd315 NVOINSV *XIXX1 3LV1d “SLYOd4ayY “AMOLSIH IWHNLYN 4O WNSSNW A1Als JAN., 1921.

The total number of specimens in the collection is 277.’”’ Mr. William J. Chalmers presented for addition to the William J. Chalmers crystal collection a remarkable pseudomorph of quartz after crystallized spodumene from Greenwood, Maine. Mr. Chalmers also presented a valuable book of photographs of the diamond mines at Kimberley, South Africa. This book contains 114 original prints illustrating various phases of the processes of mining at the Kimberley mines and covering chronologically nearly the entire history of the mines. The United Verde Company and United Verde Extension Company of Bisbee, Arizona, and the New Cornelia Copper Company of Ajo, Arizona, presented full series of the various ores mined by them and specimens of the associated rocks. These series in connec- tion with specimens previously presented by the Utah Copper Company, afford material for fully illustrating the developments which have taken place in recent years in the utilization of the low-grade copper ores, usuaily known as “‘porphyry coppers.’’ Specimens of both leaching and flotation ores are included in the series. These series all form important additions to the collection of copper ores. The kind offices of Mr. William J. Chalmers in assisting in procuring these gifts are grate- fully acknowledged. A cast of the Yenberrie, Australia, iron meteorite was presented by the United States National Museum and a full-sized, polished section of the meteorite was purchased. Dr. A. de Chairmont presented nine individual aerolites of the Holbrook, Arizona, fall. By exchange with the University of Chicago a nearly complete skeleton in matrix of the rare Permian, lizard-like reptile, Varanosaurus, from Texas, was obtained, also from the same institution and in a similar way a prepared male skull and dentition of the extinct ungulate Diceratherium, from the Miocene of Nebraska. The principal accession in the Department of Zodlogy during the year was the collection of 676 specimens, chiefly mammals and birds, obtained by Assistant Curator Osgood and Mr. H. B. Conover on the expedition to Venezuela of which mention is made elsewhere. Mr. Conover also presented to the Museum skulls and scalps of one moose and two caribou from northwest Canada. An important addition to the exhibition collection of mammals was a mounted giraffe presented by Mrs. Mollie Netcher Newbury. A collection of 270 salt and fresh water fishes from Louisiana was received in exchange from the Southern Biological Supply Company of New Orleans. The invertebrates re- ceived during the year consisted of a donation of over 8,800 shells 386 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. and 49 sea-urchins, starfish, etc., mostly collected by the late Mrs. Fanny Sonshine and presented to the Museum by her daughter, Miss B. Sonshine. A temporary addition to the Division of Entomology con- sisted of the twenty-year deposit of the Garry de N. Hough Collection of flies, received from the University of Chicago. The value of this material is mainly due to the fact that it is rich in authentically named species of certain families of European and North American muscid-like flies. This collection will prove useful for comparison when naming some of the Museum material. It will also be helpful to students who are interested in the families represented. EXPEDITIONS AND FIELD WorK.—Jlhrough the generous co-operation of Mr. H. B. Conover it was possible to make one short but important expedition during the year. Assistant Curator Osgood, accompanied by Mr. Conover, left late in January for northwestern Venezuela and returned to the Museum in the latter part of May. They worked in the tropical lowlands surrounding Lake Maracaibo and in the Sierra de Perija near the boundary between Venezuela and Colombia. Later they penetrated the interior south of Lake Maracaibo to the highlands of the Sierra de Merida, working at various levels up to an elevation of 15,000 feet. The collections and physical data obtained supplement the results of previous expeditions in an important way and make the Museum collection of the vertebrates of this general region the most comprehensive in existence. In prosecuting this work, the members of the expedition were greatly assisted by officials of the Caribbean Oil Company, notably Mr. F.R. Bartlett. They were much indebted also to Sefior Juan E. Paris, a prominent and public-spirited citizen of Maracaibo. INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT.—1 he Depart- ment of Anthropology was engaged during the first half of the year in packing material for removal to the new building. The method of packing adopted proved so efficient that no essential damage was done to any specimen, whether large or small, during the removal. On moving into the new building in June, the staff put in order and arranged the offices, work-rooms, store-rooms, and laboratories assigned to the depart- ment on the third floor. An immense number of crates, boxes, and packages had been accumulated in Installation Room 34, during moving- time. These were checked up with the records, sorted, and relegated to the various sections to which the material belongs. Cabinets for storage were placed in work-rooms, several storage racks and seven layout tables were made. Hundreds of exhibition cases were stripped of packing JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 387 material, numerous crates and boxes were opened, and the material arranged either for exhibition or study and exchange collections. The best possible use has been made of the space available on the third floor. Rooms 65 and 66 are utilized for the storage of East Asiatic collections. Room 50 contains Japanese material, Room 48 Melanesian collections, the greater part of which are stored in the Installation Hall, Room 46 North American archeology, Room 44 Indian blankets and baskets, Room 42 Hopi material, Room 43 Southwest, Navaho and Mission Indians material, Room 40 Mexican and South American archeology, Room 33 Northwest Coast collections, and Room 34 Malayan material. Exchange material is placed in Rooms 30 and 31. Room 28 is allotted to study collections. Work on actual installation of exhibition cases was begun on September 20th. During this brief period of three months a total of 249 cases was installed or re-installed. These cover all sections of the department. The Philippine Hall, 55 cases, with the exception of the large group-cases, the Chinese collec- tions on the East Gallery Hall of the second floor, 64 cases, save several large wall cases, and the greater portion of the West Gallery Hall, can now be reported as being completely installed. Hopeful progress has been made in the Joseph N. Field Hall (Melanesia), the Mexican and South American Hall, the Southwest Hall, and the hall allotted to Egyptian and classical archeology. In the Mexican and South Ameri- can Hall, nine cases have been newly installed; these illustrate Calchaqui stone work, ethnology of the Upper Amazon, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, and Ecuador, and Maya and Mexican archeology. In every instance, exhibition material was carefully sifted, and the new arrangement is considerably improved upon the old system. A special hall, located on the ground floor along the east side of the building, having been assigned to the department for the exhibition of primitive means of navigation, 82 boats were placed and arranged in the hall during August. Five exhibition cases, two illustrating boat-models from China, two with _ boat-models and other means of transportation from India and Burma, and one with similar material from New Guinea, were moved in and placed at a somewhat later date. When completed this hall will prove an attractive feature in the building. It was decided to discard from exhibition all table and upright cases which were found to be no longer serviceable and hardly in harmony with the character of the new halls. This step necessitated a complete vacating of these cases containing large storage bases in which a large quantity of material had been packed for transportation. This material has been temporarily stored in Room 45 on the third floor. The Departmental Library has been completely arranged and set in order in twenty-three cabinets in Room 388 Fretp Museum or NaturaLt History — Reports, VoL. V. 39. With the co-operation of the departmental staff, the Museum libra- rians completed this task within a few weeks. As all books pertaining to anthropology, also those formerly stacked in the main library, are now assigned to the departmental collection, it was necessary to prepare a new set of catalogue cards in conformity with this new arrangement, and the number of the cabinet in which a book is placed has been added to each card, so that it is possible to promptly locate a volume. The Bagobo group has been completed and the figure of the Hopi boomerang- thrower remodeled. In the Department of Botany the entire staff of the department proper was employed during the first five months of the year in finishing preparation for moving into the halls and rooms set aside for it in the new building. The specimens in all those exhibition cases not prepared during the closing months of the previous year were secured in place, or packed in containers, and properly marked and labeled to designate the position they were destined to occupy. The entire herbaria and all other material, supplies, appliances, etc., were, in like manner, prepared for transportation. The month of May and part of June were employed in superintending the removal of the packed material from the old building and the placing of the same in position in the new. In Septem- ber re-installation began both in the exhibition halls and the working rooms. Since that date the books of the Department Library have been temporarily shelved and arranged, the phanerogamic herbarium fully organized, and most of the laboratories at least partly equipped for work. On account of alterations deemed expedient in the depart- mental arrangement as originally planned, it became necessary to change the installation of a large number of cases previously considered complete. These re-installations have consumed a large amount of time and rendered re-installation far slower than was expected, setting back the anticipated completion of the department at least five months. Contributory to this extra work has been the elements of the unfinished character of the halls and the dust raised in the work of their completion. This has caused more cleaning of specimens and repainting of case interiors than could have been foreseen. In Hall 28 one hundred and ten case units have been placed. These are devoted entirely to all those plant families the elements of which are on hand at this time. The installation will comprise plant reproductions and natural speci- mens embracing the taxonomy of about roo families. Of these 81 are now installed. Hall 27, Foreign Woods: In this hall the cases have not yet been shifted to their intended position. They will require comparatively little interior arrangement when once set, as the contents are now in place.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 389 cases in this hall are in position. They will require little interior work done upon them. Halls 25 and 29, Economic Botany: The cases in these two halls are substantially all placed and 71 units have been re-installed complete. The herbarium, in its organization, had been separated into four great divisions: (1) Flowering Plants, completely organized; (2) Fungi; (3) Cryptogams in General, ferns, mosses, lichens, hepatics, etc.; (4) Plants of Illinots. Each of these herbaria occupy contiguous rooms. As the plants of Illinois are more frequently con- sulted by amateurs in botany than those of the general herbaria, it has been considered best to segregate them, thus securing the main herbaria against disorganization by untrained botanists. During the first four months of preparation for moving the Section of Plant Re- production continued its regular work with but little interruption. The months of May and June were then utilized entirely in the work of packing, dismembering, moving and re-establishment in the labora- tories in the new building. In July the work of the section was again established, though during the last few months of the year it has been greatly interfered with through the necessity of utilizing a large part of the effort of the staff in the re-installation of cases in the exhibition halls. No damage whatsoever was sustained by the large number of delicate models and reproductions packed, or secured against the anticipated rough handling of the cases and packages during trans- portation. Notwithstanding the large amount of time consumed in these necessary interruptions to the regular work of the staff, the section finished the following productions, all of which are now in- stalled in the exhibit cases of Hall 28: The Fig (Ficus carica). A natural size branch of the tree in full leaf and fruit; an enlarged section of the edible fig revealing the numerous flowers enclosed within the fleshy, hollow receptacle; an enlarged section of the Caprifig with male and female flowers; an enlarged female flower in section; an enlarged male flower with its bracteal envelope; an enlarged gall-flower showing the female caprifying insect emerging; and full descriptive labels detailing “‘caprification.”” The Seven-year Apple (Casasia clustifolia). A small branch of the shrub with fully matured fruit fallaciously said to “require seven years to ripen.”’ The Kaffir Orange (Strychnos spinosus). A flowering and fruiting portion of this shrub of the Strychnine Family. While nearly all species of this group are virulently poisonous this particular one develops an edible, spicy fruit. An enlarged flower of this plant reveals the essential organs characteristic in the family. Avocadoes or Alligator Pears (Persea Persea): fruits of four charac- teristic varieties of this delicious ‘‘Salad Fruit ’’ now becoming noticeable in our markets through its cultivation in southern Florida. The four 390 Fretp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. varieties reproduced are: The West Indian; The Guatemalan; The Mexican; and a hybrid secured by crossing the Guatemalan and the Mexican. The Coconut (Cocos nucifera): enlarged male and female flowers together with a section of the female flower revealing its essential characters. The Spider Lily (Hymenocallis caribaea): a full size flower- ing plant. Cotton plant (Gossypium barbadense): an entire plant in full leaf, flower and ripe boll, natural size; an enlarged flower, in section, revealing the essential organs. Zamia (Zama floridana): enlarged sporophylls and a fruiting cone of this species illustrating the floral characteristics of the cycads. Mangoes (Mangifera indica): three varieties of this delicious fruit of the Sumac Family, now being cultivated for the market in southern Florida: “‘The Mulgoba,” ‘‘The Haden,” and ‘‘The Amiri.”” A Green Alga (Oedogonium): eight enlargements illustrating reproduction in this group; whole mass of the plant, mag- nified; asexual reproduction, the odgonia; the sperm cells; dwarf males; resting stage, odspore; germination, zodspores; fertilization. A Green Alga (Ulothrix): four enlargements illustrating this genus: A piece of a filament, spore formation; swarm-spores, germination; con- jugation; zygospores. More or less work has also been done on the following studies now in process of production: Coconut (Cocos nuci- fera); reproduction of a natural size tree top in leaf, full flower and fruit. Zamia (Zamia floridana); a full size plant of this important starch-producing cycad. Four-’o-Clock (Mirabilis jalapa); a portion of a natural size plant and a number of various colored flowers, designed to illustrate Mendelian principles of heredity. Screw Pine (Pandanus utilis); reproduction of a portion of the plant, natural size. Pride-of- India (Melia Azedaracha); an enlarged flower revealing the essential organs, to illustrate characteristics of the Mahogany Family. Alga (Bryopsis plumosa); an enlarged tip of a frond. During the first part of the year packing in the Department of Geology of all material and cases intended for the new building was completed. This included packing of the contents of forty-two exhibi- tion cases remaining installed at the close of last year, a large quantity of material belonging to the study collections, furniture and equipment of the offices and laboratories of the department and some collections and objects that for lack of exhibition space had been stored in the basement. As noted in a previous report, the nature of nearly all the specimens in the exhibition cases made it necessary to remove them from these cases in order to put them in a safe condition for transportation. In some instances after being packed in proper receptacles, the speci- mens were returned to the cases and the cases used as carriers, but it was found possible to move only three cases and contents without JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 391 removal of the specimens. During the period of packing as a whole two hundred and eighty exhibition cases were emptied of their con- tents and all fittings made fast so that there would be no danger of injury to any part in moving. It is gratifying to report that this work was so carefully and thoroughly done that with the exception of one case which failed owing to faulty construction, no cases or contents suffered any breakage of glass or other marked injury during the moving to the new building and placing in position there. One of the most difficult specimens to prepare for moving was the skeleton of the large dinosaur. Because of its great weight and fragile nature this could not be transported as a whole. It was therefore necessary to disarticulate the skeleton and handle each bone as a unit. The leg bones and most of the pelvic bones were crated separately without additional reinforcement. The foot bones and the smaller bones of the tail were separated and packed in tight boxes. The ribs required additional strengthening. Each rib was first wound spirally with tough paper to protect its finish. It was then covered with plaster and burlap, as fossils are treated for shipment from the field. In turn each rib was further reinforced by means of iron rods, either bent to conform to the outline or extending across the arc as-a chord. The entire series was then crated. The vertebrae were handled singly. Before removing from their position on the frame-work the spines and lateral processes were braced by means of light, iron rods. These braces, extending from each centrum to the lateral processes and thence to the crest of the spine of each vertebra, were attached by the use of plaster. This done, the screws holding each vertebra to the steel frame-work were removed, leaving the immediate support attached to the specimen. The vertebrae were then placed separately on light, wooden frame- works which acted as temporary bases, and were firmly anchored to them in an upright position by means of wires attached to the four corners of the base and drawn tightly through the neural canal. The vertebrae were then placed, two each, in wheeled carriers padded at the bottom to protect from jar. Each vertebra was firmly attached to the bottom of the carrier by means of long screws driven through the temporary base. By the use of all these means the entire skeleton was well protected and was transported to the new building with compara- tively little breakage. The steel framework on which the skeleton was installed was unbolted and moved as lengths of structural steel and the wooden base above the frame-work was taken apart and carefully crated for transportation. The safe transportation of the large fulgurite also presented a some- what difficult problem. The specimen is an exceedingly irregular hollow 392 Frerp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V. tube about nine feet long and an inch in diameter, with walls of about the thickness and strength of an egg shell. This had been mounted on hangers which held it about six inches from the back of its case. In order to move this specimen with its supporting wooden rod it was placed ina horizontal position in a special packing case. It was then well wrapped with paraffined tissue paper and a thin fin of tow and plaster was built up from an anchorage on the packing case floor to the specimen, supporting it throughout its entire length. At intervals of perhaps a foot, a narrow ring of tow and plaster was also passed around the specimen to connect it securely to the fin. The paraffined tissue not only prevented staining by the plaster but also checked any adhesion of the plaster or dovetailing to any rough portions of the specimen. Protected in this manner the specimen was safely transported to the new building and after unpacking was readily mounted and installed. Besides the exhibition cases, the departmental material transported to the new building was contained in 226 barrels, 1,086 large boxes and crates and several thousand small boxes and cartons. Packing, trans- portation and unpacking of this material was accomplished with prac- tically no loss whatever from breakage or other injury,a fact which gives proof of the care with which the packing and handling was done. The large skeleton of the Northern Mammoth presented to the Museum some years ago by Mr. George Manierre and temporarily housed at the Chi- cago Academy of Sciences through the courtesy of that institution, was also transferred to the new building. In order to facilitate placing of the exhibition cases in the new building, installation numbers were given to each hall of the portion of the building assigned to the department and to each alcove in each hall. The cases designated for these alcoves were then correspondingly marked, so that on arrival at the new building each case was taken directly to its assigned alcove. Before installation all the glass of all the cases was cleaned, the wood-work of the exteriors was refinished and that of the interiors repainted. Any injuries to the exterior wood-work of the cases that were too deep to be rubbed out, were carefully chiseled out and new wood inserted and the whole refinished in such a manner as to restore the cases to their original appearance. The cases forming the sides of the alcoves were carefully fitted to one another in such a manner as to make the line of joining as narrow and inconspicuous as possible and they were then securely fastened together. A greater rigidity and stability of the cases was thus gained, and a pleasing appearance of the cases as seen from the aisle was produced. The number of cases so joined was 126. Twenty of the flat cases having shown in moving that the method of attachment of the legs was not as secure as was desirable, JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 393 these were thoroughly overhauled and stout fastenings provided. Also, from fourteen of the cases in Frederick J. V. Skiff Hall the burlap linings which had become torn and discolored from long usage, were removed and new, freshly dressed linings substituted. Blocks numbering 2,600 used for mounting individual specimens and various other mounts used in this hall were also repainted and the shelves of many of the cases were braced with strong wooden supports so as to guard against possible breakage of the shelves from the weight of specimens. A large number of other supports or fixtures, such as easels, frames, pedestals, etc., used in this and other halls of the department were also repainted. The space assigned for the exhibition cases of the department in the new building consists of five halls on the second floor of the western section of the building. Four of these halls, 180 ft. by 42 ft., in dimen- sion, have their greatest length in an east and west direction and one, 317 ft. by 48 ft., has a principal north and south range. Of the four halls extending east and west, that on the north side of the building con- tains the systematic collection of minerals, the meteorite collection and part of a collection illustrating physical geology. The systematic mineral collection occupies the eastern half of the hall. It is installed in 32 cases, 16 of which are of a sloping-top type and 16 of a tall, upright type. The cases are arranged on either side of the hall so as to form alcoves, each alcove except the first being bounded by a tall case on each side and containing a sloping-top case in the center. Each alcove is twelve feet deep and including the side cases, fourteen feet wide. Each is lighted by a pair of windows at one end. The sides of the alcoves are made by the tall cases being placed at right angles to the length of the hall, one end of each resting against a pilaster of the wall between the windows. A broad, middle aisle sixteen feet in width permits free passage through the center of the hall. The mineral collection is arranged in these cases according to the order of Dana’s system, a number on the label of each specimen showing the position of the specimen in the sys- tem. For the most part, the large specimens are shown in the tall cases at the sides of the alcoves and the smaller specimens in the lower, central cases. The re-installation of this collection was completed during the year, the specimens being for the most part installed in the positions and cases which they had occupied in the old building, but some altera- tions necessitated by changes of orientation of the cases were made. The total number of specimens now on display in this collection is 4,476. In the re-installation of all the collections of the department, the system of marking described in a previous report, by which the position of each specimen in installation was indicated by a label wrapped with the specimen, proved of great assistance in securing rapid and accurate 394 Fretp Museum or Natura History — Reports, Vo. V. placing of the specimens. Following this collection, two cases of a combined upright and flat form are devoted to the William J. Chalmers crystal collection and two similar cases contain collections illustrating varieties of amber and ornamental objects carved from semi-precious stones. Following these, six large oblong cases, three square cases and two narrow, upright cases contain the meteorite collection. In the square cases are placed large, single specimens of the Davis Mts., Long Island and Brenham falls, respectively, while the remaining meteorites which are exhibited are to be disposed on pyramids or shelves in the other cases. The remainder of the hall is devoted to four upright cases arranged in alcove form containing collections of concretions and septaria, and specimens illustrating glacial phenomena, weathering, etc. Two large, glaciated slabs from Kelley Island and Amherst, Ohio, are to be installed on individual bases in opposite alcoves in connection with this series. In the next hall south there have been placed at the east end eight upright cases. These are to contain the collections illustrating various rock structures, such as dikes, veins, cave formations, rock markings, etc. These cases are arranged in alcove form disposed in a manner similar to that already described for the cases containing the systematic mineral collection. A case devoted to large gypsum crystals and one containing a fulgurite nine feet in length are also placed in this hall. Following these, eight sloping-top cases are devoted to the collec- tion of systematic petrology. Each specimen in these cases is mounted on an individual block screwed to a pyramidal screen. The installation of this collection is complete, 872 specimens being now on display. The remainder of this hall extending eastward is to be devoted to the exhibi- tion of the map collection, consisting of about seventy-five relief and other maps, also globes and other geographic material. The maps are to be exhibited on tables which are to be arranged in positions similar to those of the cases which form the alcoves in other halls of the depart- ment. The maps have been unpacked and partially placed, but have not yet been finally installed. The following hall south contains collec- tions of an economic character, chiefly of coal, petroleum and other hydrocarbons, and sands, clays and soils. Of these collections, those of the first group will occupy the eastern half of the hall, those of the second group, the western half. The eastern half is installed according to the alcove plan, similar to that adopted in the department as a whole, eighteen upright cases forming nine alcoves. In these alcoves and adjacent to them ten table and other low cases are placed, and in one double-spaced alcove a large case containing an exhibit of coal- tar products.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 395 from lack of space has not been shown for some years, will be placed in another alcove. In the sixteen-foot center aisle two table cases four by six feet in size are placed. These contain the diamond and part of the asphalt exhibits. Against the south wall of the hall and adjacent to the passage southward, a large section of an Australian coal seam will be placed. In the western half of the hall the installation is composed chiefly of table cases. As these do not readily lend themselves to a true alcove arrangement, distribution of the cases in a manner consistent with the alcove plan of the rest of the hall has been adopted. The cases are placed in pairs, each pair extending from the windows toward the center of the hall. There is left a twelve-foot center aisle and a narrower passage between the cases of each pair. The arrangement is broken in one place to give space for a diagrammatic collection of clays which requires a linear arrangement of four cases. Beyond this installation of twenty-two table cases at the extreme west of the hall, two square cases containing large specimens have been placed, and bordering the west wall an upright case and a large model of an iron mine. The specimens in the hall as a whole transferred from installation in the old building are to be re-installed in the same cases and with the same arrangement as before. There will also be added, however, many specimens which had been withdrawn from exhibition for several years on account of lack of room. The entire coal collection is one group of such material and substantial additions will also be made to the exhibited collections of clays, sands and soils. The most southerly of the halls of the department has been named Frederick J. V. Skiff Hall. The hall contains the principal economic collections of the department. It includes the ores of the precious and base metals, building stones and marbles and a part of the collection of non-metallic minerals of economic importance. The cases in the hall are arranged according to the alcove plan, broken for a space midway of the hall by the substitution of tall, square cases for the long, upright cases which outline the regular alcoves. These square cases are so disposed, ' however, that the general alcove effect is retained. A center aisle fourteen and a half feet wide has been left unobstructed through the entire length of the hall. The predominant type of cases used in the instaliation of the hall is that of those which form the sides of the alcoves. These are materially different in form from those employed in any other hall. They are designed to keep the specimens as near the eye of the spectator as possible even at sacrifice of capacity. They are seven feet high, and at a height of two feet from the floor the exhibition space is extended forward in a horizontal bay which not only keeps the 396 Fretp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V. specimens nearer the eye, but also affords room for larger specimens and those that should be examined from above. The length of the cases is twelve feet, except for six which measure fourteen feet. Each alcove is outlined by two of these cases, one being placed on each side of a window. The cases stand with one end against the wall and extend toward the aisle in the center of the hall. Including the side cases, each alcove is fourteen feet wide, the open space in the center being four feet narrower. On the south side of the hall, the alcoves are twelve feet deep. On the north side they are fourteen feet deep. In the center of each alcove one or two table cases, four by six feet, are placed. Mid- way of the hall, opposite the passage connecting with the next hall to the north, the character of the alcoves is varied, the principal change being the replacement of some of the long cases by two tall cases, four feet square. These cases are glazed on all sides, except the base, and contain massive specimens and materials of special character. There are twenty-six alcoves in the hall as a whole and they contain forty-two twelve-foot and forty-four other cases. The ores of the heavy metals and the building stone collections are for the most part re-installed in their original cases and in their original positions in the cases. The exigencies of re-installation have compelled some changes, but they are relatively few. The addition of two cases against the east wall has made ‘possible the re-display of a case and a half of ores which had been withdrawn from exhibition for a number of years on account of lack of space. Except for the building stones and alkalies, that part of the non-metallic economic collections which appears in upright cases in this hall has been transferred to cases of a different type from those formerly used. This has made some re-arrangement necessary, owing to the differ- ent capacities of the two types of cases, and withdrawal of some of the material has been unavoidable, but for the most part the original arrangement of the specimens has been retained. It was necessary to spend much time and labor in cleaning the specimens of ores. The method employed has been first to remove the dust by use of a vacuum cleaner, then to wash and dry the specimens. As water alone or soap and water was found not to attack a sooty coating which had sometimes formed through exposure to a smoky atmosphere, and as the more corro- sive detergents could not be used, some care in selecting a suitable cleans- ing agent was found imperative. Satisfactory results were, however, secured by use of cold water containing a moderate quantity of carbonate of ammonia. As the collections in this hall are now arranged, there are shown at the east end and extending from the east entrance about half way down the hall, the ores of the precious and base metals. These are arranged in the order of the installation employed in the old building; JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 397 first, synoptic collections of gold, silver and lead minerals and ores and secondly, collections of these ores geographically arranged. Platinum ores occupy one table case at the head of the series. The gold, silver and lead collections are followed by ores of the other metals with the speci- mens geographically arranged under each metal. Interspersed with these ores at convenient points are placed models illustrating methods of mining and of extracting the metals from the ores. The metallurgy of some of the more important metals is also illustrated by specimens. Following the ore collections are placed those of the building stones and marbles. These are shown in the form of polished slabs in upright cases and of four-inch cubes in table cases. To them are added specimens of materials adapted to ornamental uses cut in forms intended to display their fitness for such uses. The western end of the hall is filled with a variety of minerals of economic interest, including mica, asbestos, and abrasive materials, and at the extreme end the alkali collections are placed. The western hall, which is the largest of the exhibition halls of the department, is devoted to the paleontological coliections. This hall, as already stated, is 48 feet in width and 317 feet in length. Its size and proportions have enabled a unique installation of the paleonto- logical collections to be made, the most important feature being that it has been possible to place all the collections in the hall in chronological order. Thus an epitome of the history of life upon the earth, beginning with the remains of living forms of the earliest period and passing in order to the life of Recent time is presented to the observer. The characteristic fossils or life forms of any particular period can be seen in whatever portion of the hall corresponds in position to the place of the period in time, or the course and development of life as a whole can be studied. The earlier forms have been placed at the south end of the hall, and from this point the progression in time advances to the north end. Introductory to the series, two cases contain, one a collection illustrating methods of fossilization and the other a collection showing contrasting forms of ancient and modern plants and animals. As in the other ‘halls of the department, the cases in this hall are arranged to form alcoves, the sides of the alcoves being made by upright cases twelve feet in length by eight feet in height and usually two feet in depth. Two of these placed back-to-back with ends resting against the pilasters which separate the windows of the hall form the alcoves. Within these alcoves for the most part, single sloping-top cases designed for specimens which require close inspection are placed. These cases occupy a floor space of four by five feet each, leaving an aisle three feet wide between them and the sides of the alcoves and four feet wide between them and the windows. Occasionally the alcove space is doubled or trebled in 398 Fretp Museum or NatTurat History — Reports, Vou. V. order to permit the placing of large objects. The upright cases as a rule contain large specimens, slab mounts and single skeletons. Altogether twenty-two alcoves of this form have been placed in the hall. A central aisle, twenty-two feet in width, passes through the hall between the alcoves, and this is utilized to some extent for the exhibition of large mounts, such as those of the two dinosaurs Apatosarus and Triceratops, the cast of the Megatherium skeleton and some single cases. The in- stallation of all cases in the hall, numbering sixty-six, has been essen- tially completed. In general, the specimens were placed in the cases in the same order and positions which they had occupied before removal, but wherever some improvement in sequence or appearance could be made this was carried out. The precaution which had been adopted to secure the safe transportation of some of the more fragile material, such, especially, as wrapping dinosaur and other bones with paper and cover- ing them with burlap and plaster, proved on unpacking to have been very successful, practically no breakage having occurred and the appearance of the specimens not having been injured. This was espe- cially gratifying in the case of the large Triceratops skull, the thin, expanded bones of which were exceedingly fragile. The specimens yet to be installed in this hall are chiefly large and massive ones, such as the great dinosaur, Apatosaurus, the skeletons of the mastodon and mam- moth and some large casts. The iron frame-work for the dinosaur has been assembled but the erection of the specimen upon it has not yet been accomplished. The energies of the staff. were devoted so largely to installation, that little opportunity was available for work upon the study collections or in the laboratories. The study collection of syste- matic minerals has, however, been placed in trays, labeled and arranged in order in drawers contiguous to the exhibit series. Work in the laboratories has largely been confined to repairs upon specimens, but in the early part of the year opportunity was found to remove from matrix and prepare for exhibition two large ribs, nine feet in length, of the type specimen of Brachiosaurus. This material, as it came from the field, is in so fragmentary a condition, that the task of preparing it is a difficult and tedious one, but the unique character of the material makes its preservation highly important. In the Department of Zodlogy, the year was devoted almost ex- clusively to the work in connection with the removal to the new building. Packing continued until April and was followed by the period of actual moving during which members of the staff, office, and taxidermists’ force were assigned to specific tasks in checking the pieces out of the old building and into the new and in giving special care to such material as required it. The entire collections of the department were moved FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. REPORTS, PLATE LXXxXIl. NATAL PLUM. (Carissa grandiflora.)

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 399 without serious damage. The smaller exhibition cases were transported _intact with specimens of light weight zu situ securely fastened to the shelves or to the floor. Even the extensive osteological exhibits traveled largely in this way, although small skeletons and crania were specially packed in cartons and very large ones were crated. Heavy material, as corals and other fragile invertebrates, was removed from the cases and packed in boxes, cartons, and barrels. Exhibition cases of medium size (more than 4 feet in width) were transported after removal of all or part of the glass and with the specimens covered with a temporary protecting cloth. In this way certain habitat groups, as the hyaenas and warthogs, were handled simply and successfully. Very large cases, including many of the habitat groups, as moose, mountain sheep, koodoo, zebra, etc., required the complete dismantling of the case and the dis- memberment of the group, the animals being placed individually on special temporary bases and the ground work and accessories being divided and crated. The African elephants, after removing the head of the one mounted with its trunk elevated, were placed on an open flat-: car and came through with ut mishap. The study collections of mam- mals and birds packed in original containers offered no difficulty. Fishes and reptiles in glass jars, which were wrapped in corrugated catdboard and packed tightly in cartons, suffered no breakage what- ever. Even pinned insects, which were subjected to much vibration, show no injury sofar as examined. Since removal to the new building steady progress has been made in the re-installation of the exhibition material. The first hall to be finished was the west colonnade (George M. Pullman Hall) which has been devoted to ungulate mammals, the deer, antelope, sheep, goats, and wild oxen. These are mostly game animals of con- siderable popular interest and have been arranged to form a unit with allowance for slight expansion in the future. The hall of systematic mammals followed and then that of systematic birds and the habitat groups of birds. A number of groups of African mammals also were completely installed before the end of the year. Over two months were devoted to the re-installation of the shell exhibit. Besides re-installing the shells which were on exhibition in the old building, good progress has also been made on the installation of the four new A-cases that had not been in use heretofore. In order that there should be uniformity in color of all the shell tablets and labels, it was decided to blacken the edges of the yellow shell tablets and to reprint all of the buff-colored labels in the six so-called table cases. Some progress has also been made in the installation of the sponge and coral exhibit. There have now been re-installed and completed twelve A-cases of shells and two standard cases of sponges and corals. Several other cases also are far advanced 400 Fretp MusEeum oF Natura History — Reports, Vor. V. toward completion. All of the skeletons have been unpacked and four cases have been installed and two are under way. The large skeletons are being installed on bases in the exhibition halls. THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. —At the end of the present year there were 677 cases available for circulation among the public schools of Chicago. Of this number, thirty- one were prepared during the year. This is a falling off from the previous annual production of cases for circulation. This decrease in cases pre- pared is attributed to causes which the department could not avert. The principal causes were the resignation of an assistant taxidermist, and the transfer of a preparator to another department. Another cause was the abandonment for several weeks of practically all productive work for preparations necessary for the removal from the old building to the new one, and the installation there of fixtures for office and work-rooms. The removal of the department to the new building was accomplished largely by the use of the delivery truck, and without the loss of a day in the delivery of cases to schools. Rather than increase the production of cases by sacrificing past standards, the usual care with the details of each was employed. When arranging the schedule for the loaning of cases to schools during the scholastic year of 1920-1921, the latest issue (1919-1920) of the Directory of the Public Schools of the City of Chicago was used. In this directory the names and addresses of 23 high, and 255 main elementary schools were given. In compliance with a formal request made last year that cases be also loaned to high schools, seventeen were included in the present operating loan schedule. For the reason that six of the listed high schools have technical courses, cases are not loaned to them. Cases are loaned to 253 main elementary schools. Because of the great distances to two of the main elementary schools, and of road conditions met with by the motor truck in delivering cases to them, they have been, it is hoped, only temporarily deprived of the uses of the loan cases. In addition to making loans to the 253 main elementary schools, cases are also loaned to 18 branches of elementary schools. Besides the 288 schools, made up of 17 high, 253 main elementary and 18 branch elementary schools, which are scheduled to receive cases, there are other schools to which cases are loaned when requested to do so. These are the practice, continuation and parental schools. Based on information received from the office of the Superintendent of Schools as to the num- ber of pupils attending public schools, it is confidently believed that cases will be loaned during the present scholastic year to schools having a combined enrollment of fully 344,000 pupils. This estimate is com- JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 401 posed of 316,000 pupils of elementary and of 28,000 of high schools. In response to a formal request made by the Boys’ Work Secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Association for the loan of cases to that association’s summer school, at 1621 Division Street, several cases were sent. That these cases proved to be of educational value and interest is evident, for, from the same source there came a subsequent request for cases, but in this instance it was asked that cases be loaned period- ically throughout the year. This request is being complied with, and in doing so care has been and will be taken to prevent any interference with service to the public schools. The Supervisor of the Children’s Department of the Chicago Public Library requested the loan of six cases of birds for the purpose of exhibiting them for a short time at the Public Library, to stimulate interest in books on birds. The cases were loaned, and it was reported that they rendered the service for which they were solicited. This year, as has been done during the past two years, twenty-four cases were on exhibition in the Art Gallery of the Municipal Pier during the months of July and August. Mrs. Charles L. Hutchinson, President, Chicago Chapter, Wild Flower Preservation Society of America, asked that four cases be dis- played at the annual exhibition held under the auspices of that society, at the Art Institute from the 6th to the 22nd of January 1920. This request was granted, as was a subsequent one for six cases for the same purpose, and at the same place from December 18th 1920 to January 18th 1921. In connection with a request for the temporary use of several cases for the purpose of rendering service in establishing a system of loaning cases to schools in St. Paul, Minnesota, the curator of the museum of Saint Paul Institute in that city wrote:—‘‘ While visiting the Field Museum some time ago, I was greatly impressed with the educational value of your school cases. The fact that they can be circulated through the various schools from time to time gives them added value.” It is regretted that this request could not, at that time, _ be granted. The President of the San Diego Society of Natural History stated in a communication that a considerable donation had been made to that society for the purpose of popularizing natural history, especially in the schools of San Diego and, having seen this department’s exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, he would like to have such data as would assist in establishing a similar system. It has since been learned that the museum of this society will build a number of small cases for containing birds, minerals, plants, etc., to loan to schools, as part of its educational work. Having in view the prospect of the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture aiding rural communities on subjects pertaining to agriculture, Professor Frank Lamson-Scribner, Special Agent and 402 Fretp Museum oF Natura History — Reports, VoL. V. Agrostologist of that department, and two of his departmental asso- ciates, conducted a careful examination of a great many loan cases, and made many inquiries as to methods employed in loaning and in recording them. After having made a most careful inspection of many cases of natural history subjects, Doctor Paul Bartsch, Curator, Division of Marine Invertebrates, U.S. National Museum, stated in a communica- tion to this department: “‘I wish there might be some way to actually determine the amount of good enterprises of this kind bring about. To me it seems the very foundation of things. I am sure that the citizens of Chicago will show much greater interest in outdoor studies, and a much closer touch with nature, than other citizens where such work is not undertaken. These youngsters do grow up so quickly, and it will only be a little while until the children that have had the benefit of your efforts will become parents who will rejoice with the little ones for the opportunity you give them .. .” PHOTOGRAPHY AND IiLustRATION.—A large part of the year was spent by this section in packing negatives, lantern slides and photographic apparatus for transportation to the new building and in unpacking and arranging negatives and lantern slides after the removal so as to be readily accessible when required.
