REPORT ON THE PROGRESS AND CONDITION OF

THE U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR THE

YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1907.

By Richard Rathbun.
Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in charge of the U. S. National Museum.

GENERAL (X)NSIDERATIONS.

INCEPTION AND HISTORY.

Tho inception and history of the National ^Museum have often been
discussed in the opening pages of the annual report. Congress, in
the act of August 10, 1840, founding the Smithsonian Institution,
recognized that an opportunity Avas afforded, in carrying out the
large-minded design of Smithson, to provide for the custody of the
museum of the nation. To this new establishment was therefore
intrusted the care of the national collections, a course that time has
fully justified.

In the beginning the cost of maintaining the museum side of the
Institution's work was wholly paid from the Smithsonian income;
then for a number of years the Government bore a share, and during
the past three decades Congress has voted sufficient funds to cover the
expenses of the Museum, thus furthering one of the primary means
" for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men " without
encroaching upon the resources of the Institution,

The nniseum idea was inherent in the establishment of the Smith-
sonian Institution, which in its turn was based upon a ten years' dis-
cussion in Congress and the advice of the most distinguished scientific
men, educators, and intellectual leaders of the nation of seventv vears

ago. It is interesting to note how broad and comprehensive were the
views which actuated our lawnudcers in determining the scope of the
Museum, a fact especially remarkable when it is recalled that at that
date no museum of considerable size existed in the United States, and
the museums of England and of the continent of Europe were still to
a large extent without a developed plan, although containing maiw
rich collections.

The Congress which passed the act of foundation enumerated as
within the scope of the Museum " all objects of art and of foreign

8 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

and curious research ami all ()l)iects of naiiiral history, plants, and
geological ami mineralogical specimens belonging to the United
States," thus stamping the Museum at the very outset as one of the
widest range and at the same time as the Museum of the United
States. It was also fullj' appreciated that additions would be neces-
sary to the collections then in existence, and provision was made for
their increase b}' the exchange of duplicate specimens, by donations
and by other means.

If the wisdom of Congress in so fully providing for a museum in
the Smiths(mian law challenges attention, the interpretation put
upon this law by the Board of Regents within less than six months
from the passage of the act can not but command admiration. In the
early jDart of September, 184G, the Regents took steps toward formu-
lating a plan of operations. The report of the committee api)ointed
for this purpose, submitted in December and January following,
shoAvs a thorough consideration of the subject in both the spirit and
the letter of the law. It would seem not out of place to cite here the
very first pronouncement of the Board with reference to the char-
acter of the Musemu".

" In obedience to the requirements of the charter." which leaves
little discretion in regard to the extent of accommodations to be pro-
vided, your committee recommend that there be included in the build-
ing a museum of liberal size, fitted up to receive the collections
destined for the Institution. * * *

"As important as the cabinets of natural history by the charter
required to l)e included in the Museum your committee regard its eth-
nological portion, including all collections that may supply items in
the physical history of our species, and illustrate the manners, cus-
toms, religions, and progressive advance of the various nations of
the world ; as, for example, collections of skulls, skeletons, portraits,
dresses, implements, weapons, idols, antiquities, of the various races
of man. * * * In this connexion, your committee recommend
the passage of resolutions asking the cooperation of certain public
functionaries, and of the public generally, in furtherance of the
above objects.

" Your committee are further of opinion lliat in the Museum, if the
funds of the Institution permit, might judiciously be included various
series of models illustrating the i)rogress of some of the most useful
inventions; such, for example, as the steam engine from its earliest
and rudest form to its present most improved state: l)ut this they
propose oidy so far as it may not encroach on ground already covered
by the numerous models in the Patent Office.

" Sinco the Institution was not cliiirtereil in a le.!;:il sense but estahlislied by
f'ongress. tlie use of tlie word "cliarter" in this eonnection would seem to be
unauthorized. It was uot subsequently employed.

KEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 9

" Specimens of staple materials, of their gradual manufacture, and
of the Hnished pnxhicts of manufactures and the arts may also, your
committee think, be usefully introduced. This would supply oppor-
tunity to examine sam})les of the best manufactured articles our
country ati'ords, and to judge her gradual progress in arts and manu-
factures. * * *

" The galk'ry of art, your committee tliink, should include both
paintings and sculpture, as well as engravings and architectural
designs; and it is desirable to have in connexion with it one or more
studios in which young artists might copy without interruption, being
admitted under such regulations as the board may prescribe. Your
committee also think that, as the collection of paintings and sculpture
will pr()l)ably accunudate slowly, the room destined for a gallery of
art might properly and usefully meanwhile be occupied during the
sessions of Congress as an exhibition room for the works of artists
generally; and the extent and general usefulness of such an exhibi-
tion might probably be increased if an arrangement could be effected
with the Academy of Design, the Arts-Union, the Artists' Fund
Society, and other associations of similar character, so as to concen-
trate at the metropolis for a certain portion of each winter the best
results of talent in the fine arts."

The important points in this report are, (1) that it was the opinion
of the Kegents that a museum was requisite under the law. Congress
having left no discretion in the matter; (2) that ethnology and
anthropology, though not specially named, were yet as important
subjects as natural history; (3) that the history of the progress of
useful inventions and the collection of the raw materials and products
of the manufactures and arts should also be provided for; (4) for the
gallery of art the committee had models in existence, and they pro-
posed, pending the gathering of art collections, which would of neces-
sity be slow, to provide for loan exhibitions by cooperating with art
academies and societies.

In the resolutions which were adopted upon the presentation of
this report, a museum was mentioned as " one of the principal modes
of executing the act and trust." " The work was to go forward as
the funds permitted, and, as is well known, the maintenance of the

a Resolved, That it is tlie intention of the act of Congress establishing the
Institution, and in accordance with the design of Mr. Smithson, as expressed in
his will, that one of the principal modes of executing the act and the trust is the
accumulation of collections of specimens and objects of natural history and of
elegant art, and the gradual formation of a library of valuable works pertaining
to all departments of human knowledge, to the end that a copious storehouse of
materials of science, literature, and art may be provided which shall excite and
diffuse the love of learning among men, and shall assist the original investiga-
tions and efforts of those who may devote themselves to the pursuit of any
branch of knowledge.

museum ami the library Avas l()n<i^ a<>o assumed In* Coii<>;ress, the
Institution takinf; upon itself only so miicli of the necessary respon-
sibility for the administration of these and subsequent additions to
its activities as would weld them into a compact whole, which to-
gether form a imicnie and notai)le ai^encv for the increase and ditfu-
sion of knowled<ze, for the direction of research, for cooperation with
Departments of the (iovernment and with universities and scientific
societies in America, and likewise afford a delinite correspondent to
all scientific institutions and inen abroad who seek interchange of
views or knowledge with men of science in the I'nited States.

Since that early day no material change has been suggested in the
general scope of the (lovernment museum; it has only renuiined to
elaborate the details, and the opportunit}'^ is now close at hand to
realize all that tlie first Board had in view, since ample space Avill be
available within another two years.

The development of the museum has naturally been greatest in
those subjects which the conditions of the past sixty years have made
most fruitful — the natural history, geolog}^ ethnology, and arche-
ology of the United States, supplemented by many collections from
other countries. The opportunities in these directions have been
mainly brought about through the activities of the scientific and
economic surveys of the Government, many of which are the direct
outgrowths of earlier explorations, stimulated or directed by the
Institution. The Centennial Exhibition of 1876 afforded the first
opportunit}' for establishing a department of the industrial arts on
a creditable basis, and of this the fullest advantage was taken, though
only a part of the collections then obtained could be accommodated
in the space available.

The de])artment or gallery of the fine arts had made little progress,
though not from lack of desire or appreciation, until \\ ithin the past
eighteen months, during which its interests have been nuirkedly
advanced, as elsewhere explained.

Another subject to which nnich attention has been paid Avith grati-
fying results is American history, illustrated by objects representing
distinguished personages and im|)ortant events as avcU as the domestic
life of the country from the colonial period to the j^resent day.

It has been deemed api)ropiiat(' to present the foregoing brief
review of the scf)pe of tlie national collections, in this connection,
since the time is near when tliey may l)e given an oi'dcrly aiTang(>-
ment and when the subjects least developed from lack of space nuiy
have the opportunity for gi-owth. By transferring to the new build-
ing, as proposed to Congress, the subjects which are best represented,
which have been as a whole most complet(>ly classified and can, there-
fore, be most advantageously exhibited for the benefit of the public,
namely, ethnology, aicheology, natural history, and geology, the pres-

cnt musenm buildin<i' m;iy l>t' <:i\(Mi oNcr (o the arts and industries.
In several branches of this subject (he collections are already impor-
tant and extensive, and arrangements are under way for larij^e and
valuable additions. (^>rtain halls in (he Smithsonian buildin<r were
ori«>inally i)lanned for the oallery of (inc arts, and with a moderate
exi)enditure they can be adji!s(ed to Miil the requirements of to-day.

With its collections thus distributed between the three buildings,
all fireproof and of substantial construction, the National Museum
may be expected to enter upon an era of renewed prosperity and
usefulness.

While it is the primary dut}^ of a museum to preserve the objects
confided to its care, as it is that of a library to i)i-eserve its books and
manuscripts, yet the importance of ])iiblic collections rests not upon
the mere basis of custodianship, nor u}Jon the number of specimens
assembled and their mone}^ value, but upon the use to Avhich they are
put. Judged by this standard, the National Museum may claim to
have reached a high state of efficiency. P'rom an educational point of
view it is of great value to those persons who are so fortunate as to
reside in Washington or who are able to visit the nation's capital. In
its well-designed cases, in wdiich every detail of structure, appoint-
ments, and color is considered, a selection of representative objects is
placed upon view to the public, all being carefully labeled individu-
ally and in groups. The child as well as the adult has been ])rovided
for, and the kindergarten pupil and the high school scholar can be
seen here, supplementing their class-room games or studies. I'nder
authority from Congress, the small colleges and higher grades of
schools and academies throughout the land, especially in places where
museums do not exist, are also being aided in their educational work
by sets of duplicate specimens, selected and labeled to meet the needs
of both teachers and pupils.

Nor has the elementary or even the higher education been by any
means the sole gainer from the work of the Museum. To advance
knowledge, to gradually extend the boundaries of learning, has been
one of the great tasks to which the Museum, in consonance with the
spirit of the Institution, has set itself from the first. Its staff, though
chiefly engaged in tlie duties incident to the care, classification, and
labeling of collections in order that the}^ may be accessible to the pub-
lic and to students, has j^et in these operations made important dis-
coveries in every department of the Museum's activities, which have
in turn been communicated to other scholars through its numerous
publications. But the collections have not been held for the study of
the staff nor for the scientific ad.vancement of those belonging to the
establishment. Most freely have they been put at the disposal of
investigators connected with other institutions, and, in fact, without
the help of many such the record of scientific progress based upon the

material in the Museum would Ih' irreatly curtaiUMl. AVhen it is pos-
sil)le to so aiTantre ti)e investipitor comes to Washin*rtoii : otherwise
such collections as he needs are sent to liim, whether he resides in
this country or abroad. In this manner practically every prominent
specialist throuirhout tlie world interested in the subjects here well
represented has had some use of the collections, and thereby the
National Museum has come to be recognized as a conspicuous factor
in the advancement of knowledge wherever civilization has a foot-
hold.

SOME IMPORTAXT :MATTERS OI IIIK YEAR.

The most noteworthj^ feature of the year was the remarkable ad-
vance made in the subject of the fine arts, assuring the definite
organization of the National (iallery of Art on a jiroper basis.

The new granite building for the Museum was carried to such a
height that some idea may now be gained of its future appearance
and of its adequacy for accommodating those branches of the Na-
tional collections — natural history, geology, and anthropology — for
which Congress authorized its erection. The repairs in progress on
the present Museum building, including the renewal of the roofs and
the isolation of the several halls, conducted under the ordinary
api)ropriations, are accomplishing all that was anticipated, tlie thor-
ough renovation of the structure and its adaptation to the collections
bearing on the arts and industries, the extension of which has long
been retarded by the lack of space.

The additions made to the collections of the ^luseum, not including
the fine arts, were comprised in 1,398 accessions and numbered about
250,000 specimens. They were obtained mainly through transfers
of material from several bureaus of the Government and through
donation and exchange from private sources, some of the gifts having
been especially noteworthy from their size and value.

The most important accessions in ethnology came from the Philip-
]nne Islands and the Kongo region of Africa. Excavations at the
famous Casa Grande ruin in Arizona were productive of a large col-
lection of ancient Indian relics, and many archeological specimens
w^ere also received from Central America and Mexico. The division
of physical anthropology was especially favoivd in scNcral of its
lines of inquiry, while the collection of firearms illustrating the
colonial and national military service of the rnitcd Slates was in-
creased to the e.xtent of making it the most complete of its kind in
existence.

The liureaii of Fisheries transmitted excei)tionally large and valu-
able collections in zoology, ol)taine<l during recent investigations in
dirterent regions, the most important being tlie results of an expedi-
tion by the steamer Albatross to the northwestern part of the Pacific

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 13

Ocean and the Okhotsk Sea. Noteworthy series of maninials, l)irds,
and reptiles were obtained from the Philip})ine Ishinds and other
interesting; h)c'alities. Of hshes, 25,000 specimens were received; of
insects, 44,000 specimens, and of plants, 47,000 specimens.

'I4ie additions to the section of fossil invertebrates were especially
notable, amounting- to over 115,000 sjxH'imens. They were acfpiired
partly by transfer from the Geological Survey and partly by
donation.

No material changes were made in the exhibition halls, excej^t in
connection with the line ai-ts, as described elsewhere. About 16,000
duplicate specimens were distributed to schools and colleges, and
some 25,000 were used in making exchanges. The classification of the
collections, especially those recently received, has necessitated an ex-
ceptional amount of painstaking investigations, resulting in the prep-
aration of many important scientific contributions. The publications
for the year comprised 8 volumes and 4 parts of volumes.

While field researches were engaged in at different times of the
year by a few members of the staff, the trips were all of relatively
short duration, though they resulted in extensive additions to the
collections and the filling of many gaps.

The Museum is represented at the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Ex-
position by a comprehensive historical exhibit, and at the Inter-
national Maritime Exposition at Bordeaux, France, by a few striking
examples and models of aboriginal water craft and early steamboats.

NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART.

Reference is made on pages 7, 8, and 9 of this report to the action
by Congress in 184C, charging the Smithsonian Institution with the
custodianship of all objects of art belonging to the United States,
and to the initial plan proposed on the part of the Board of Regents
for carrying out this important provision of the fundamental law.

In the Smithsonian building, which was immediately put in course
of erection, two rooms were especially designed for the collections of
art — the west hall and connecting range on the main floor. These
quarters were so used for a time in conjunction with the library and
reading room, but the accommodations proved so inadequate that it
became necessary to also devote to the same purpose a part of the
large upper hall now occupied by the collection of prehistoric
archeology.

Examples of art were among the very first acquisitions by the Insti-
tution, and from time to time thereafter additions of one kind and
another w^ere received, but any sum that might have been spared for
this purpose from the Smithsonian income would have been wholly
insufficient to make any pronounced or systematic' progress in this

14 REPORT OF natto>;al :MrSEUM, 1907.

diroction. In tlio Xatioiial Miist'imi. however, certain branches of art
have been fostered for over a (iiuuter of a centiirv and are now fairlv
Avell represented.

The first collection purchased i)v the Institution was the valuable
series of prints assembled by the ITou. (leorjre I*. Marsh, containing;
examples of the work of nearly every ctclu'r and engraver of celeb-
rity from the early masters to the middle of the last century.

* ft ft

Though not the largest, it was recognized as the choicest collection of
its kind then in this country. Later accessions included, besides en-
gravings, a number of paintings, reproductions of celebrated pieces
of sculpture, busts of distinguished individuals, and many important
books on art.

The early exhibition in the upper Smithsonian linll consisted
mainly of the unique collections of Indian portraits and scenes by
J. M. Stanley, C B. King, and others, but in the fire of ISC).') this
sx'ction of the gallery Avith its contents was entirely destroyed. The
objects on the lower floor escaped injury and were subsequently
deposited for safe-keeping in the Library of Congress and the
Corcoran GallcMy of Art, where they remained until about ten years
ago. Since that time one of the rooms in the eastern part of the
Smithsonian l)uil(ling has been utilized for the })rints. l)ooks, and
various other works of art, but the larger i)art of the collection has
been provided for in the National ^luseum.

Such, briefly, was the history of the art exhibits up to tJanuary,
1906, when the acceptance by the Board of Regents of the large and
notable collection of Mr. Charles L. Freer marked the beginning of
a new epoch in the affairs of the gallery of art. In the following
July a further advance was made through the acquisition of the
valuable collection of the late Harriet Lane Johnston, based upon a
decision of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, essentialh^
reaffirming the intent of the fundamental act, that the custodianship
of the National Gallery of Art was vested in the Smithsonian Insti-
tution. This collection is especially noteworthy in that it contains
paintings by several celebrated masters, besides other pieces of merit
and of historical importance. It was delivered to the Institution in
the early part of August, 11)06, and was at once installed in the
reception room in the Smithsonian building, the only place then
available.

The necessity of .securing more extensive quarters without delay
led to the selection and temporaiv fitting up of the lecture hall in
the ^luseum building for the purposes of the gallery and especially
for the paintings. On the com]detion of these changes in the latter
part of November. I!t0('>. the Harriet Lane Johnston collection and
other paintings were iransfei-red there, and these, with several loans
and donations, fidly occupy the existing wall space. Among the

I)iirin<«' the hitter part of the winter tlie <>■all<'l'^' received a most
substantial and gratifying recognition from Mr. A\'illiam T. Evans, of
Montclair, New Jerse}", the well-known connoisseur and patron of
art, whose .contribution, made without solicitation, consisted of 52
paintings in oil by American artists of established reputation. Un-
fortunatel3% no place could be found in the Museum building for
this valuable collection, and it Avas necessary to provide elsewhere for
its tenij3orary keeping. This has been accomplished through the
courtesy of the trustees of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, where the
jjictures are now hung, filling the greater part of the large atrium.

Leaving out of consideration the Freer collection, which is to
remain at the home of its generous donor during his lifetime, the
National Gallerynow has in its possession valuable ])aintings and
other art objects for wdiose exhibition under suitable conditions it
is important to arrange without delay. For this purpose there is no
better place in the existing buildings thar^ the second story of the
main part of the Smithsonian building, a hall 200 feet long by 50
feet wide. It will require some changes to adapt it to the hanging
and lighting of pictures, and some improvement in its approaches,
which are now inconvenient for the i^ublic, involving an expenditure
greater than is possible from the current appropriation, but it is
hoped that Congress will provide for this work at its forthcoming
session.

NEW' BUILDING FOR THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

"Work on the new building has not progressed as rapidly as w^as
expected, OAving to delays in the delivery of the granite which is to
compose the greater part of the outer walls. The fault has lain
both with the quarry and with the railroad leading therefrom, the
former having already violated the time limit of its contract by a
considerable j^eriod, and the latter having neglected to furnish the
necessary cars when called upon to do so. This delay has not only
caused annoyance, but is resulting in a pecuniary loss to the Gov-
ernment through the deterioration of large collections held in
storage, and in other w^ays.

At the beginning of the fiscal year, July 1, 1006, the basement
walls and piers and the steel framework and brick arches resting
upon them had been completed except at the south and north
pavilions, and work had been commenced on the court walls of the
main story. The few architectural changes contemplated in the two
pavilions, the former containing the main entrance and rotunda, the

l(i REPORT OF XATTONAT, MUSEUM, 11107.

latter artordintj access fi-oin Tenth street, had l)eeii tinally planned
and the contract for the ciitlini:- ol' the stone \va> awarded soon
afterwards.

At the close of the year the >tonework on the eastern section of
the htiildinfT had been carried to the top of the second story, includ-
ing' the lintels. l)ut on the western section only a few of the piers
Inid been completed. The court walls had also been constructed to
about the same heigflit, but lack of stone prevented the extension of
the Avails of the two pavilions above the basement, except at the
sides of the northern one. The steel work and arches between the
first and second stories were in place.

Of the i)rincipal structural features there still remain the com-
]detion of the second story on the western side, the placing of tlie
cornice which caps this entire story, the buildino; of the upper story
with its floor and roof, and the erection of the pavilions, of which
llie southern one involves a large amount of stonework. Fortu-
nately the granite and steel girders for the upper story have been
delivered, and the materials for the roof are obtainable on short
notice. In fact, there have been no dehiys in securing sujjplies of all
kinds except the white Vermont granite, of Avhich the exterior walls
will mainly consist.

priations made for same."

BFTIJ)IXGS.

The proo;ress of the work on the new buiklin<r for tlie National
Museum has ah-eady been described.

The bad condition of most of the roofs on the present Museum
buiklinn; and the eti'orts made for their improvement have often
been discussed in previous reports. Ai)art from the corner pavilions
and central towers, which contain the work rooms and offices, there
are seventeen lar*i:e exhibition halls, each with its separate roof,
though all are connected by intervening metal gutters. Eight of
these root's, covering the same number of ranges which adjoin the
outer Avails of the buildings, were consti'ucted originally of tin. and
have called only for such attention and amount of repair as might
custonuirily have been expected. The other nine roofs, being those
over the four main halls, the four courts and the central rotunda,
were, however, built of slate, a material too heavy for llic support-
ing iron framework, and unsuitable for the relatively slight pitch of
these roofs. They rapidly deteriorated to such an extent as to act
almost like sieves, allowing the rain to penetrate during every storm,
with the result of danuiging the walls and causing much injury to the
contents of the halls. Continuous and expensive i-ejiairs proved
ineti'ective.

It finallv became evident that the onlv remedy lav in the entire
replacement of the slate roofs. In accordance with the plans here-
tofore explained, these roofs Avere to be of tin on the upper or ex-
posed surface, with an inner sheathing^ of thin sheet steel. The work
was taken up in July. IDOG, and continued until winter, during which
period five of the roofs were renewed in an entirely satisfactory man-
ner. It is expected that three of the remainder can be rebuilt dur-
ing the next fiscal year, leaving only that over the rotunda for the
summer of 1908. The completion of this undertaking should place
the structural part of the buililing in even better condition than it
was in the beginning. It has, fortunately, been possible to carry on
this reconstruction without materially disturbing the contents of the
halls, or closing to the public more than small areas of the floor at
any stage of the work.

The lecture hall in the Museum building, as mentioned elsewhere,
was temporarily fitted up at small exi)ense for the innnediate pur-
poses of the National Gallery of Art. The changes consisted mainly
in closing all openings into the hall, excejit the necessary doorways,

by fireproof inateriiil, and the installation of electric lamps for suit-
ably li<rlitino- the pictures and for the oeneral illumination of the hall.

Tho only further advance made in the isolation of" (he dillerenl
halls, as a measure toward i)reventin<>- the spread of lire, was the
lillino- ill of several of the la rye openiuiis between the piers on the
south side of the southwest court.

There were accjuired (luriii<i- the ycai". both by construction in the
shops and by outside contracts, 8 e.\hil)iti()n cases, 122 storage cases,
89 miscellaneous pieces of furniture, and 1,721 standard drawers,
of which '5(»<» were of metal. The number of articles of furniture
now on hand, many bein<r of very large size, is as follows: 2,342
exhibition cases, 2,401 storage cases, 1,()7(') pieces of miscellaneous
furniture, and ;iT,r)81 drawers, boxes, etc., used in connection with
both the exhibition and storage of specimens. There has been the
customary amount of repair and renovation of cases, addition and
improvement of fixtures, etc. The experiments looking to the intro-
duction of metal or fireproof storage furniture was continued during
the year, and important conclusions were reached in several direc-
tions. This work has special reference to the fitting up of the new
building, in which it is desirable to provide for the absolute safety
of the national collections.

The appropriation for the heating and lighting of the buildings
has, as in previous years, proved inadequate, causing much incon-
venience. Steam was first raised in the boilers on October 2, 1906,
and was shut down on May 12, 1907, but since it could not be main-
tained, on an average, more than about twelve hours a day, it has
been impossible during the colder weather to bring the large halls
to a proper temperature at the time of opening in the morning.

Changes in the electric installation begun the previous year were
continued and completed. The means have not permitted the use of
electric lights beyond the most ordinary needs, however, and during
many afternoons in winter extensive parts of the exhibition halls
become so dark at an early hour as to prevent the collections they
contain from being examined.

ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS.

The number of accessions received during the year, not including
the subject of the fine arts, was 1,398, comprising a total of about
250.000 specimens, of Avhich nearly 4.000 were anthropological, about
145,000 biological, and over 100,000 geological and paleontological.
A complete list of these additions is given in the latter part of this
report ; the more important ones Avere as follows :

Anthropology. — In physical anthropology one of the principal
accessions was a unique series of about 100 human long l)ones and

Snrgeons. New ^'ork. The specimens were selected hy Doctor
Urdlicka with the view of iilnstratino- all of tlie pi'incipal types of
iioi'iual variation in size and >ha])e. Twelve skull- (»f the extinct
Huron Indians and a number of other human bones were received
in exehanire from Laval University. Quebec, through Mi:r. J. (\ K.
Lallamme. and another normal, well-preserved skull of the same
tribe was donated l)y Prof. Henry Montgomery, of the University of
Toronto. The >kull of a Panama Indian, collected by Edward
Barson and transferred by the Bureau of American Ethnology, is
the first of its kind obtained from the Isthmus. Other interesting
specimens were contributed by Lieut, d. R, Harris, assistant surgeon,
U. S. Army; Dr. K. H. Fuhnuann. of 8t. Louis, Missouri: and I)rs.
J. D. Murray. D. S. Lamb. W. J. Tompkins, E. L. Morgan, and
fL K. Mitchell, of AVashington. As in previous years, a consideral)le
number of the brains of mammals and birds were pre})ared for tiie
comparati\e brain series, the s])ecimens from which they were
obtained having come niaiidy from the National Zoological Park,
and partly as donations from Air. E. S. Schmid, of Washington.

Among the accessions in tthnolog}^ were two gifts from the Presi-
dent of the United States — an American Indian poncho and ."iO speci-
mens collected in the Kongo region of Africa by Mr. Clarence Rice
Slocuni, late consul-general at Boma. Maj. E. A. Mearns, surgeon,
U. S. Army, made important additions in continuation of his pre-
vious contributions, consisting of implements, utensils, and weapons
of the Philippine peoples, and esi)ecially of a collection of baskets
showing remarkable weaving from the rarelv visited island of
Palmas, olf the southeast end of Mindanao. Mr. A. F. Dre.sel, of
Nelson, Virginia, donated a Cherokee blowgun and two arrows; Dr.
J. K. Harris, I'. S. Army, a collection of ethnological specimens
gathered by him during service in the Philippines; and Mrs. L. E.
Bland, of "\Vhiteal)bey. .Vntrim. Irtdand. a nest of Malacca baskets
and .seven samples of old and modern" Malacca native lace. Of loans
to the division mention may be made of sixteen pieces obtained in

Arctic Expedition, collecled by Dr. Octaxi' l*avy, .siir<(eon of the
ex]H'di(ion. were purchased, as were also two rare Chilcootiii baskets.

One of the most important donations in prehistoric archeoh)<i:y
was received from Dr. L. A. Wailes, of New Orleans, Louisi-
ana. The collection came from Central and South America and
may be briefly described as rollows: Fiom the Peten district in
Guatemala small baked day heads representing various types of
physiognomy and head gear, fragments of large earthenAvare vases,
mainly ornamental parts showing the human lace; portions of fig-
ures of vases with hands, arms, feet, and legs, modeled in the round,
the feet showing sandals and the method of attachment; other frag-
ments representing animal forms, apparently finished in a kind
of glaze; pottery whistles, a clay spindle whorl, a small polished
stone chisel, and a piece of rosewood with human face carved in pro-
file. From Costa Rica, small carved-stone images, earthernware
vases (mainly tripods), and a pottery whistle representing a toad.
From Chiriqui, Panama, earthernware vessels and polished stone
hatchets, the latter being characteristic of that localit}', hexagonal
in section with beveled surfaces; a polished stone hatchet from Mex-
ico, an obsidian knife from Honduras, and a potterv bowl of black
polished ware, with four animal figures grouped about the rim,
from Venezuela. ^Nlr. A. H. Blackiston, of El Paso, Texas, sent as
a loan a collection of stone and pottery objects from the Casas
Grandes Valley, Chihuahua, Mexico, containing many fine examples
of earthernw^are ollas, bowls, dishes, effigy vases, etc., with painted
and incised decorations. The effigy vases representing human, quad-
ruj^ed, and bird forms are remarkable. Among the stone objects are
grooved axes, hammers, pestles and mortars, bandstones, grooved
arrowshaft straighteners, polishing and discoidal stones, medicine
bowls or dishes, notched and grooved stones, amulets, pendants,
charm or medicine stones, paint stones, a large circular stone with
central hole believed to have been used in a ball game and a number
of stone balls, shell beads, pendants and ornaments, bone awls, and
a carved bone anndet. This material has been installed with objects
from the same locality previously lent by Mr. Blackiston, and to-
gether they form a very noteworthy exhibit. The Kev. Kobert C.
Nightingale, of Swaffham, England, donated an interesting collec-
tion of ancient stone implements and fragments of Romano-Tiritish
urns, obtained in the vicinity of Norfolk, England. The stone
objects include hammers, flint cores, flakes, knives and scrapers;
the pottery, representing seven different vessels, was found in an
old earthwork on which, according to persistent tradition, a temple
of Diana formerly stood.

Brig. tren. P. Henry Ray, U. S. Army, presented several exception-
ally good discoidal stones, all polished, and three showing slightly

foncave surfaces; they were found together about a foot below the
surface, in the hills along the Freiuli Broad lvi\ri-. ncur .\.>heville,
North Carolina, on the site of an ohl Indian <:ini|)inii' phice. Prof.
E. II. Kandle. of Hernando, ^lississippi, sent as an exchange a collec-
tion of stone implements and other objects, including large chii)ped
lihides ( digging tools) , sliowing high polish at the bi'oad cutting end;
leaf-shapeil blades, worked Hakes, spearheads and arrow j)oints of
flint; polished stone hatchets, one of unusual form; hammer stones,
mortar and jjestles, stone ball-, nndlers of -tone anil luniatite; dis-
coiilal stones, and an i'Xce])tionally fine hematite pluinmct or sinker.
The collection is mainly from western Tennessee and contains many
good pieces. The Bureau of American Ethnology transferred to the
Museum a number of leaf-sliai)e(l blades of rhyolite, from caches
recently discovered near Tennallj^toAvn, District of Columbia. Dr.
Henri Martin, of Paris, France, transmitted in exchange many flint
imi)lements, scrapers, knives, points, etc., from a deposit at La Quina,
Charente, France. The President of the United States donated a
collection of small earthenware figurines, vessels, and wdiistles from
ancient graves in Panama, presented to him on the occasion of his
visit to the Canal Zone in 190(). A small unique ornament of pa-
godite. found near a large Indian mound 5 miles south of Washing-
ton, AVilkes County, Georgia, was contributed by Mr. I^arry Benson.
Casts of several interesting stone objects, borrowed for the purpose,
Avere made in the laboratory of the dei)artment.

During the excavations made to uncover the ancient ruins of Casa
Grande, Arizona, under a special act of Congress, Dr. J. W. Fewkes,
in charge of the work, discovered several hundred small objects which
could not be safely left at the spot, and they were accordingly brought
to the Museum. They consisted of stone implements, pottery vessels,
articles of shell and bone, wooden implements and beams, textile
fabrics and basket work, and a number of human skulls and skeletons.

The princi})al accession to the division of historic archeology com-
prised specimens of Greco-Egyptian ])a)\vri. a gift from the Egypt
Exploration Fund.

The division of techtiology received a numl)er of very valuable ad-
ditions, the most imi^ortant of which was the transfer from the War
Dejiartment of a collection of 115 rifles, muskets, carbines, and pistols,
principally obsolete weapons used by the United States Army bi'tween
1800 and 1 s(>0. It includes a variety of pieces made at the Govt'rn-
ment armories at Springlicld. Massachusetts, and IIari)ers Ferry,
West Virginia, and exam|)les of the work of several ^jrivate con-
tractoi's who maTiufactui-ed guns of the Springfield pattern foi- tlie
GoNcrnincni. .Vniong the latter are nniskets made 1)V Asa Waters,
MHlbury, Massachusetts, in 18-iO, 1821, 1822, 1825, 1820, and 1827;

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 23

by Lemuel Pomeroy, Pittsfield. Massachusetts, in 1823, 1828, and
1829; by B. Evans, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, in 182G, and by P.
and PI Blake, New Haven, Connecticut. An especially rare and in-
terestinp- jiiece is n TTnited States military musket made by the Colt's
Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company in 1803. There are also
a valuable group of IlalTs breech-loading rifles and carbines, show-
ing the development of this arm. which was the first In-eechloadei-
used in the United States Army, and a number of Jenks'- breech-
loading rifles and carbines of different models. Many of these pieces
possess much individual interest and they serve a valuable purpose in
filling gaps in the Museum collection.

As a separate accession there was also received from the War De-
partment a Westley-Richards double-barrel, muzzle-loading, percus-
sion shotgun of a very superior quality and finish, said to have been
at one time in the possession of John B. Floyd, Secretary of War
under President Buchanan ; one Harpers Ferry musket, model of
1856, and a pair of Colt's army revolvers made especially for pre-
sentation to a prominent military officer. The Harpers Ferry musket
has a round, bronzed, smooth bore, 33-inch barrel of .70 caliber, with
a full walnut stock, brass mountings, and percussion cap lock with
Maynard tape primer. It w^as evidently designed as a pattern for use
in fabricating guns of this model and is accompanied by a number of
steel srauges. The Colt's revolvers are dated 1862, have 8-inch .44
caliber barrels, and solid, bronzed metal handles. The entire piece
is elaborately and richly decorated and much of the metal work is
gold plated. Combustible envelope cartridges and j)ercussion caps
were used with them.

The Museum now has examples of typical guns, of the Springfield
pattern, made for and used by the United States Army, of the fol-
lowing dates: 1800, 1814, 1817, 1820, 1821, 1822, 1825, 1826, 1827,
1831, 1833. 1840, 1844, 1845, 1848, 1850, 1851, 1853, 1854, 1855, 1856,
1858, 1859, 1^60, 1862, 1863, 1864, 1865, 1866, 1868, 1869, 1870, 1873,
1881, and 1884. The collection is the most comprehensive of its
kind in existence. The efforts of the Museum have also been ex-
tended to gathering and placing on record all the necessary data for
the presentation of a complete history of the subject which these
arms illustrate.

The Department of the Interior transferred to the Museum 30
models of important historical inventions, which had been prepared
by the United States Patent Office for exhibition at the principal
expositions held during the past ten or fifteen years. The most
notable objects represented are: Hero's steam engine, made 150
B. C. a grain-harvesting machine used in Gaul, A. D. 70. the Guten-
burg printing press of 1440, Papin Deny's steam engine of 1600,

Trevethick's locomotive of 1804, Stephenson's locomotive of 1829,
Pixii's mafrneto mtichine of 1832. Thomas Blanchard's turning lathe
of 1843, and the irraiii-harvestinir machines i)atented by James Boyce
in 1799 and by AVilliam Maniiiiig in 1831. There is also a series of
primitive looms of E<r\ptian. Koman. and East Indian types, and a
Navajo Indian loom. The spinnin<r industry is illustrated by early
East Indian and English spinning Avheels. Arkwright's machine of
17G9, Thomas Hargraves' spinning jenny of 1770. William Pea-
body's Avheel of 1812, Peter Paddleford's machine of 181G, and Moses
Day's machine of 1836. A number of pieces of aj^paratus devised
and used by Emile Berliner, of Washington, between 1807 and 1879,
illustrating important steps in the development of his inventions
relative to the l)attery telephone transmitter, were deposited by the
American Bell Telephone Company. The Santos-Dumont airship
No. 9, was presented to the Museum by j\lr. Edward C. Boyce, of
New York.

For exhibition in the division of ceramics. Miss E. R. Scidmore,
of Washington, has lent a fine collection of pottery, gathered during
her visits to Japan. It consists of 90 pieces, including examples of
Seto, Satsuma. Takatori. Ninsei. Bizen, Kioto, Iga. Tokonamo,
Owari. Oribe, Raku, Karatzu, Kiomidzu, Awata, and some Korean
ware and ivory white porcelain. For several years past, through the
initiative of Mr. Frank R. Ilaynes, chairman of the Art and Design
Committee of the American Potters' Association, a number of Ameri-
can potters have been contributing samples of their best work to the
national collection. The gifts from this source during the past year
were as follows: An art vase from the Pope-Gosser China Company,
of Coshocton, Ohio; examples of Xipur and metalline ware from the
Cook Pottery Company, of Trenton, New Jersey; two specimens of
crj'stal patina ware from the Clifton Art Pottery, of Newark. New
Jersey; a specimen of overglaze pottery from Mr. S. A. Welk'i-. of
Zanesville. Ohio, and five historical lilates of blue AVedwwood ware

I Cr'

from the Jones, McDuffee & Stratton Company, of Boston. Massachu-
setts. The Fostoria Glass Company, of Moundsville, West Virginia,
presented 21 specimens of etched glass. From the Pennsylvania
Museum and School of Industrial Art, at Philadelphia, there were
obtained by exchange 5 pieces of porcelain made about 1825 by Wil-
liam Tucker, of Philadelphia, whose factory suspended in 1838, and
a small octagonal earthen dish witli slip decoration made by Pennsyl-
vania German potters about 1830. The former ware was the first
hard-paste porcelain ])ioduced in the United States and is now very
rare. Mr. B. P, Richardson, of New York City, donated a specimen
of Rouen ware, and Mr. Harold I. Sewall, of Bar Harbor, Maine,
deposited a pair of blue and white jars of Chinese porcelain, pur-
chased at the recent Heber R. Bishop sale.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1007. 25

An important addition to the (li\ ision of graphic arts consisted of
a set of 42 voluines of Voltaire's works, bound in full Persian
morocco, reproducing- in 15 designs many of the rare and beauti-
fully bound books of the courts of Europe. It was the work of the
St. Hubert's Guild of Art Craftsmen, Akron, Ohio, by whom it was
presented. Among the accessions in photography were 10 colored
photographs of the normal solar spectrum, i)urchased from ]*rof.
J. F. Ames, of Johns Hopkins University; a color photograph made
and presented by IVIr. M. Miley, of Lexington, Virginia ; 12 photo-
graphs in velox, royal velox, and royal bromide, the gift of the East-
man Company, of Kochester, New York; and a landscape in velox,
contributed by E. J. Pullman, of Washington.

Among nuiscial instruments the principal accession was a church
organ, said to have been in this country two hundred and three years.
It was presented b}' the vestry of St. Thomas Church, Hancock,
Maryland, from which it was recently remo\ed. Especially note-
Avorthy among the additions to the division of medicine was a series
of photographs of eminent American physicians, who have been
prominently connected with the progress of medicine and surgery.
The original pictures were obtained from many sources, and the
copies made in the photographic laboratory of the Museum.

The division of history received 63 permanent accessions and 13
loans. The most important of the former consisted of personal relics
of the late Secretary Sanniel Pierpont Langley, the gift of his family
to the Smithsonian Institution. They comprise a number of pieces
of apparatus of his own devising, illustrating some of his early
work, besides 15 medals, 77 diplomas, and other ol^jects, all of which
have been arranged in one of the cases in the hall of history. To the
already large series of memorials of soldiers and sailors of the United
States there were added a sword presented to Rear- Admiral Shubrick
for distinguished services on the ship Constitution, lent by his grand-
daughter, Mrs. T. F. Bayard ; the commissions of General Kilpatrick,
lent by his daughter, Mrs. Henry H. Morgan; a silver service of
Commodore John Kelly, presented by his daughter, Mrs. Ellen M.
Davis; the army uniform of Lieut. C. J\. Carville, presented by Mrs.
E. C. Fiedler, and the sword carried by Col. ^neas Mackaj', aid-de-
camp to Alexander Macomb, U. S. Army, in the war of 1812, Semi-
nole war, and the war with Mexico, presented by Miss Cornelia
McK. Bogy.

Among the accessions to the division of historic; religions were a
collection of lamps, amulets, and embroideries used in Jewish relig-
ious life, deposited by Hadji Ephraim Benguiat, of Xew York; a
Jewish prayer cap, lent by Dr. Harry Friedenwald, of Baltimore,
Maryland; two sets of Catholic priests' vestments, one presented by
the Rev. Joseph Mendl, of Montclair, the other by the P.ev. P. T.

26 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

Carew, of Eidgewood, New Jersey; a Catholic priest's cassock, do-
nated by the Rev. John F. Fenton, D. D., Brooldand, District of
Cohimbia, and a collection of 58 Chinese and Japanese rosaries,
d(>liosited by Miss E. R. Scidmore, of Washinffton. The rosaries of
Miss Scidmore are of various materials and makes, and some are
finely carved ; from the point of A'iew of the study of religious senti-
ments and practices, they are highly interesting, as they invite a
comparison of the form and use of the rosary in Brahmanism,
Buddhism, Catholicism, and ^lohammedanism.

Biology. — One of the most noteworthy contributions to the depart-
ment of biology- was a collection made in the Philii)j)ine Islands by
Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, U. S. Army, consisting chieHy of mammals,
l)irds, reptiles, fishes, and mollusks, many of Avhich came from locali-
ties not heretofore explored by naturalists.

The Bureau of Fisheries transmitted large and important collec-
tions of fishes, mollusks, crustaceans, crinoids, and other marine
invertebrates, and many specimens of birds, from the expedition of
the steamer Albatross to the northwestern Pacific Ocean in 11)0(),
during which the Okhotsk Sea, the Aleutian Islands, the Commander
Islands, Kamchatka, the Kuril Islands, and Japan were visited.
The same Bureau also transferred nearly 200 species of Japanese
fishes, including many new and rare forms, collected by Dr. Hugh M.
Smith, Deputy Commissioner of Fisheries, in 1903; the alcyonarian
corals (with 3G types) and the hydroids (Avith 25 types) from the
Hawaiian exi^lorations of 1902, described by Prof. C. C. Xutting;
the medusae from the same source, reported on by Dr. A. G. JMayer ;
9 species of the m3^zostome parasite of crinoids f roiii Japan, described
by Dr J. F. McClendon ; specimens of the rare tunicate, Octacnemus^
from the Albatross cruise of 1904-5 in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and
over 3,000 specimens of fishes obtained by Prof. "\V. P. Hay in several
streams in AVest Virginia.

The ])rincij)al transfers from the Department of Agriculture were
as follows: From the Bureau of Entomology, about 5.000 miscel-
laneous insects from various localities and 2,500 Lepidoj)tei-a from
Mexico presented by Mr. R. Muller; from the Biological Survey. 200
reptiles from Lower California, collected by Mr. E. AV. Nelson and
Mr. E. A. Goldman, and 448 specimens of plants; from the Bureau ol"
Plant Industry, 3,663 specimens of plants. A number of animals,
mainly mammals and biids, were received from the National
Zoological Park, llie most important being a moose, llama, lirazilian
la])ii-, tliar. mark'hor. Bactrian camel, lion, nilghai, zebu, rhea, and
California coiuhjr.

The principal accessions consisting wholly ol' mammals comprised
about 100 specimens, mostly bats, from Venezuela, Cuba, and Ja-
maica, presented by Capt. Wirt Robinson, U. S. Army; 29 sspecimens

REPORT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 27

tVoiii Kiin-sii Province, China, from ISIr. A\'. W. Simpson; 27 speci-
mens from the I'liilippines, donated by L'wui (ieor<;e C Lewis, U. S.
Army; a iiioitnted skeleton of (iray's beaked \\li;dc {Mcsoplodon,
(fvay't)^ and a misccl la neons coHection consisting of species not pre-
viously represented in the Afuseum, from Kashmir, Peni, A^enezuela,
and Euiiland.

'J'hrouiih e\ehan<i-e with the Hon. ,J. K. Thayer, the INIuseum ob-
tained 177 si)eeimens of hunnning birds from Costa llica, comprising
26 species, one of Avhich is new to the collection. A small collection
from various parts of the world was purchased for the purpose of
filling important gaps. The section of birds' eggs acquired several
noteworthy additions. One of these, obtained through Prof. Axel
Johan Einar Lonnberg, of Stockholm, consisted of a set of the eggs
of lioss's gull {/i/iodofitct/tia rosea), from breeding grounds recently
discovered by Mr. S. A. Buturlin, of Kussia, near the Kolyma Delta
in northeastern Siberia. Another comprised five eggs and a nest of
Kirtland's wai'bler {Dendroica k/j-fhuuli), received in exchange from
Mr. E. Arnold, of Battle Creek, Michigan. While this rare species
has been known since 1852, its breeding grounds, a limited area in
northern INIichigan, ^vere located only a year or two ago. Two egg^.
of the rare eared trogon {Enpt'dotis iieoxenus) were obtained from
Mexico, and some 800 eggs and 18 nests of American and Chinese
species ^vere contributed bv the Eev. E, B. and Mr. Harrv R.
Caldwell.

For the division of reptiles and batrachians a valuable collection
made by Dr. Franz Werner, comprising about IGO species and sub-
species, chiefly from Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean coun-
tries, was acquired by purchase. Princeton University presented 83
specimens of reptiles from l^itagonia, composing the first set of
duplicates from the collection made by the late Dr. J. B. Hatcher and
studied by Doctor Stejneger. Prof. C. H. Eigenmann donated 60
specimens from Cuba, and Mr. Julius Hurter 18 specimens, chiefly
from Missouri. Among the latter were 3 specimens of the sala-
mander, Speleiyes stejnegeri., not previously represented in the
Museum, and several specimens of the rare cave salamander, Typhlo-
triton spelfvus. ]Many specimens ^vere collected b}' members of the
Museum staff in Virginia, in the vicinity of Wilmington, Xorth Caro-
lina, and in Colombia, and some valuable material was contributed
by the National Museum of Costa Rica.

About 25,000 specimens of fishes w^ere received during the year.
Next to the transfers from the Bureau of Fisheries, the most impor-
tant accessions consisted of a set of IMiilippine fishes, including sev-
eral new species, presented through the Bureau of Fisheries by the
Philippine Commission to the St. Louis Exposition ; and an excellent

28 liEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, lUOl.

collection of about 400 Australian fishes, comprising 119 species,
obtained in exchange from the Australian Department of Fisheries.

The collection of mollusks was increased bv over IIKOOO sj^ecimens.
The dredgings of the Albatross in the nortlnvestern Pacific and adja-
cent waters constituted the principal source of supply, rich' in new
material, the Okhotsk Sea especially furnishing many interesting
novelties froui a region where t»iil little collecting had previously
been done. The next most conspicuous accession was an exchange
from the Senckenbergische Xaturforschende Gesellschaft, Frankfurt
am Main. Germany, comprising some GOO species and many cotypes
of species described by the late Herr Mollendorf from the Philippines
and eastern Asia, all named and labeled with localities, forming a
most desirable addition from a region hitherto but poorly represented
in the ^Museum. Useful also in the same connection was the contribu-
tion of Dr. E. A. jSIearns, who sent a large collection of miscellaneous
shells from- the Philij^pines containing many specimens of interest.
Next should be mentioned the results of the explorations in the vicin-
ity of Wilmington, North Carolina, by Dr. Paul Bartsch, of the
jSIuseum statf. who secured a very large number of specimens of land
and fresh-water mollusks, comprising several novelties and a good
series of the rare ]V(i)iorh'/>i mdfin'ifc^ix. which was the special object
of the trip.

The ^Museum is indebted to the energy and generosity of Prof.
H. Pittier, of the Department of Agriculture, who, during his
botanical researches in tropical xVmerica. found time to gather several
lots of exceptionally interesting land ^licll-. containing a number of
species new to the collections. Dr. Fdward Palmer, of the same
Department, and under similar conditions, increased the series of
Mexican species by acceptable additions. The ^luseum is also under
obligations to its old correspondent, the Eev. AV. A. Stanton, S. J.,
for valuable material from British Honduras.

The division of insects recei\(>d over 44.000 specimens, comprised
ill •'V.tCi accessions, some of the more imoortant of which were as
follows: Prof. P. \\. Uhler. of Baltimore, presented "iO.OOO speci-
mens of Heunptera, comprising ihe larger part of the celebrated
collection wiiicli he has been assembling for many years. ]\li. \\\\-
liam Schaus donated 8,000 specimens of Lei)ido|)tei a. constituting
the result of his collecting in jSIexico and Cential America during
the jjast year, and in continuation of his large gift of a year ago.
The Department of Agriculture transmitted about 5,000 specimens of
difl'erent groups obtained during field work by nuMnbers of the
Bureau of Entomology. Through the same source, !Mr. R. Muller,
of the City of Mexico, presented over 2,000 Lepidoptera from Mexico,
of which the species were determined and the names supplied to
him. Other donations worthy of mention Mere 500 Coleoptera from

from Mr. E. S. (x. Titus; 260 Hemiptera from Mr. G. Beyer, and
240 Cuban Lei)id{)ptera from Mr. Mel T. Cook.

Besides the lar<>:e amount of material from the Bureau of Fish-
eries, already referred to, the division of mai'ine in\'ertebrates re-
ceived several impoi'tant small accessions, of whicli the followinjjj
were the most noteworthy: From Dr. K. von Lendenfeld, Prague,
Austria, 238 microscopic slides of sponge sections and spicules, pre-
pared largely from ty2:)e specimens from the German and other deep-
sea ex})editions, and from Australia, Zanzibar, and the Adriatic, the
basis of eighteen published reports; specimens of madrepora-rian
corals collected by Dr. J. E. Duerden at the Hawaiian Islands and
presented by the Carnegie Institution, and from French Somaliland,
received in exchange from the Museum of Xatural History, Paris,
France. Thirty-five species of ]Malayan Crustacea. re])<)rted on by
Dr. J. (i. de Man. were contributed by the Natural History ]\Iuseum,
of Lubeck, Germany.

The number of specimens added to the helminthological collection
was 514, of which the greater number were obtained by transfer from
the Bureau of Animal Industry, Department of Agriculture, and
many from the United States Public Health and ^Marine-Hospital
Service.

In addition to the specimens transmitted by the Department of
Agriculture, the division of plants acquired many important collec-
tions. Through exchange with the Jardin Botanique de FEtat at
Brussels there was received a series of 900 plants collected in Mexico
by H. Galeotti many years ago. It is rich in tvpes and wnll prove
of great value in connection with the studies of the ^Mexican flora
now in progress. About 1,300 Mexican plants were collected for the
Museum by the associate curator. Dr. J. X. Rose, and 1,648 specimens
were purchased. A number of gifts of Central American plants,
comprising in all 1,405 specimens, were made by Prof. H. Pittier.
About 3,200 plants were collected in eastern Cuba by the assistant
curator, Mr. W. R. Maxon, and other West Indian plants to the
number of about 3.100 were received from the New York Botanical
Garden. By exchange with the Bureau of Science, Manila, the
Museum acquired 5,571 Philippine plants, and 175 tropical specimens
were obtained in the same manner from the Copenhagen Botanical
Museum. Mr. H. D. House added 700 specimens from South Caro-
lina to his previous donations; Mr. E. S. Steele gave the Museum
about 5,000 sj^ecimens collected by him in the District of Columbia
and vicinity, and 1,332 California plants were purchased. Mrs. J. M.
]Milligan, of Jacksonville, Illinois, presented her private herbarium
of about 2;200 specimens, and the collection of the late Prof. T. A.

lected by Mr. Bailey Willis and deposited by the Carnegie Institution.

Tlie division of mineralogy received a small collection of specimens
of native gold from mines in the Grass Valley district of California,
donated by the President of the United States; several minerals new
to the collection or representing new localities, and meteorites from
the following places: Santa Rosa, Colombia; Elm Creek. Kan.^as;

Tlie division of stratigraphic paleontology was the recipient of the
most extensive and valuable accessions of any of the l)ranches of this
department. The U. S. (Jeological Survey transferred about 45,000
s])ecimens of fossil invertebrates from the pre-Cambrian. Cambrian,
and Ordovician horizons of the United States, composing the collec-
tion which has for some years past been the subject of special study
I IV Dr. Charles D. Walcott. The Hon. Frank Springer, who pur-
chased during the vear the so-called Pate collection of fossil inver-
tebrates. after reserving the crinoids in wliicli he is personally inter-
ested/ presented the remainder, comprising about 50,000 specimens,

KKl'OUT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 31

mainly from the Paleozoic rocks of ihc Mississippi Valley, to the
National Museum. This gift is of exceptional value in that it repre-
sents the fauna of horizons and localities in which the Museum has
been deficient. Mr. Springer also donated al)()ut 500 specimens of
fossil invertebrates from the Devonian of Callaway County, Missouri,
and two fine exhibition sj)ecimens, one a type of ArchhaedeH wovtherd.'
Other noteworth}' additions of fossil invertebrates were the Nettel-
roth collection, containing practically all of the many types figured in
Nettelroth's " Kentucky Fossil Shells," many of the specimens illus-
trated by Davis in his " Kentucky Fossil Corals,"' and an especially
fine representation of the Silurian and Devonian faunas of Indiana
and Kentucky; a collection of 120 Cretaceous fossils from San Juan
Roya, Mexico, the gift of Prof. Charles Schuchert, of Yale Univer-
sity ; and a series of plastotypes of all the types of Cambrian Ostra-
coda described by Dr. George F. Matthew, the specimens having been
lent to the National Museum for the purpose by Prof. W. A. Parks,
of the University of Toronto.

Among the additions to the section of fossil vertebrates were casts
of four specimens, including three skulls and an entire skeleton, of
Pareiasaurus haini from the Karoo beds of South Africa, received in
exchange from the British Museum ; teeth and other skeletal remains
from the Oligocene of Germany ; and a life size restoration in place
of a Pteranodon, made by Dr. (jeorge F. Eaton, and received from
the Yale University Museum.

Twenty-two specimens of fossil plants from the Fort Union Terti-
ary of North Dakota, presented by Dr. F. H. Knowlton, of the U. S.
Geological Survey, and a large quantity of fossil wood from the Fossil
Forest of Arizona, collected by the head curator, were among the
additions to the section of paleobotany.

GENERAL WORK ON THE COLLECTIONS.

The revision of the osteological collections in physical anthropology,
a considerable part of which had been gathered before the recent
establishment of the division, was completed during the year. This
work involved the cleaning, sorting, numbering, and cataloguing of
many specimens, and the systematic arrangement of all in standard
drawers, the order followed being geographical by tribes. The stor-
age quarters were remodeled and so extended as to render accessible
every specimen in the collection, which comprises parts of about
8,000 skeletons. The card or reference catalogue was completed for
all of the collections of the division. A number of busts of Indians
were made, the opportunity for this having been furnished by visiting
delegations.

In the division of ethnology the storage space was also somewhat
increased, permitting the classified arrangement of many additional

32 BEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1007.

speoinu'iis bolontrinfj to the reserve series. Much of the time of the
invparators was dirocted, as in all previous years, toward the preserva-
tion of objects suliject to in jury l)y insects and other a.irencies, such as
dust, dryness, moisture, aud chemical decomposition. Pottery is more
or less subject to deterioration by some of these causes, showing in
the exfoliation of the ware. This has been especially noticeable in the
ancient Pueblo pottery, which was treated during the year with an
iuij)ervious dressing that promises to be effective.

A card catalogue was made of the Etruscan bronzes and potteries,
Samian and Aretine ware, P^gyptian and Trojan antiquities, pre-
paratory to their transfer from the division of prehistoric archeology
to that of historic archeology'.

In the department of biology, as elsewhere, there is great difficulty
in safeguarding the reserve collections, because of the very inade-
quate facilities for storage, and this lack is especially felt in connec-
(ioM witli the mammals, in view of the relatively large size of many
of the specimens. The collection of mauimals is in fairly good
condition so far as it is kept in the Museum building, but the large
nuuiber of specimens stored in outside temi)orary quarters are diffi-
cult of access and can not, therefore, be properly looked after. The
collection of skins of North American scpiirrels was transferred dur-
ing the year to new insect-proof cases, and the bat skins were rear-
langed on the basis- of the classification recently elaborated by Mr.
Gerrit S. Miller, jr. Similar work with reference to the insectivores
and the field mice of the genus Peromyseus^ of which there is a very
large series, was begun. The skulls of the three groups mentioned
were entirely rearranged, and the cases and drawers containing them
were fully labeled. Metal cases were provided for the skins of seals
and sea lions, which had previously been unprotected. About 100
large mammal skins were made up and Ga were tanned. The num-
ber of mamnuil skulls cleaned was approximately 3,000, of which
about two-thirds were of medium to large size.

A IjegiiHiing was made in relabeling the reserve collection of
birds, one of the largest and most valuable in the world, originating
in the field work of Prof. Spencer F. Baird before he became Assist-
ant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in 1850. The im-
])ortance of this w^ork has repeatedl}' been pointed out by the curator
of the division, but with the present force its completion will require
a considerable length of time. A number of valuable skins were
repaired by the taxidermists, and all of the specimens received dur-
ing the year were i)ut away in their proper places, except those sent
fi'om the IMiilippine Islands by Doctor Mearns, which await his
let mil for study and cataloguing. Notwithstanding the crowded
condition of the bird collection, its storage in three separate quarters,

and (he constant use made of it l)y many persons, the niatei'ial i-c-
mains in good condition.

In the several divisions of reptiles, lislies, niollnsks, and (jtlier
aqnatic invertebrates, the alcoholic specimens, which fill many thou-
sands of cans, jars, and vials, and recpiire unremitting oversight to
insure their j)reservation, have received the prop^'r amount of atten-
tion. Work (111 (he systematic arrangement of tiie reserve series of
fishes has been conliniied. and seveial thousand specimens have been
assigned their appropriate places on (he slielves. Many duplicates
Avere separatcnl out and numerous miscellaneous lots of specimens
were identilied. Nearly 1!),000 specimens were catalogued, and a
considerable amount of time was spent on the card catalogue of type
specimens, of which the Museimi has a very noteworthy series.

The collections of insects have been maintained in good condition,
although, outside of the Lepidoptera and Orthoptera, they are mainly
contained in drawers of a temporary and insecure character. New
drawers of hardwood with hermetically closing covers, fitting in
steel racks, are being supplied as rapidly as the funds permit, and a
large number have already been installed. Under the present con-
ditions, however, the work of classifying and arranging the immense
collections in this division must consume many years, and relatively
little progress could be made except for the cooperation of the
Bureau of Entomology of the Department of Agriculture.

In the division of mollusks much was accomplished in the direc-
tion of labeling, registering, and adding to the reserve series. This
applies as well to the Jeffreys collection, obtained some years ago, of
which the identification of all specimens is being verified, and the
final installation is now about two-thirds completed. A system of
card catalogues has been started for convenience in referring to col-
lections and in providing information as to the representation of
species from especialh^ interesting geographical areas. The study
series is completely labeled and readily accessible by means of index
cards. The identified specimens which have accumulated in the
division of marine invertebrates during recent years, and also the
general collections of actinians, hydroids, and ascidians were entirely
catalogued. The large catalogue cards on which the starfishes and
ophiurans Avere originally recorded were discarded for the smaller
library size, to which the data were transferred.

Under an arrangement made by Professor Baird, Avhen United
States Commissioner of Fisheries, Prof. A. E. Verrill, of Yale Uni-
versity, was placed in charge of the working up of the collections of
marine invertebrates secured during the seacoast investigations of
the Fish Commission from 1871 to 1887. In lieu of a regular salary
Professor Verrill was to receive the first set of duplicates, while the

first or reserve series of specimens and the remainder of the dupli-
cates were to come to the National Museum. A partial separation
under this agreement was made several years ago, but the final ad-
justment of the matter, in which the great bulk of the collections is
concerned, was left to be taken up during the past year. The work
began in April, 1907, and will occupy at least six months. The two
assistant curators of the division of nuirine invertebrates have been
detailed to cooperate with Professor Verrill in carrying out this im-
portant undertaking, Avhich will result in the transfer to the Museum
of many thousands of valuable specimens, including a great number
of types, and of species not hitherto represented in the collections.

In the division of plants the rearrangement of the herbarium on
the system of P^ngler and Prantl. which has been mentioned in pre-
vious reports, was nearly completed. Specimens to the number of
28,378 were incorporated in the permanent series, making the total
number of sheets so disposed of since the transfer of the collection to
the Museum 319,982. The number of specimens mounted during the
year was 9,617. One hundred and sixty-eight pigeonholes were added
to the herbarium stacks, bringing the total to 10,362. The matter of
adopting metal cases received further consideration, and a trial case
has been in use during a part of the year.

All the skulls and skeletons of birds in the division of comparative
anatomy contained in the Museum building were rearranged in ac-
cordance with Sharpe's classification. A catalogue was made of all
the osteological material stored in the west shed on Xinth street, with
the exception of the birds preserved in alcohol, from which skeletons
are to be prepared at a future time. Apart from a few skeletons
and some very large pieces, all the miscellaneous mammalian skele-
tons were brought into the Museum building, in order that such as
were of value might be put in their proper places.

The chief taxidermist remounted the group of Polai* bears pre-
sented by Mrs. E. M. Ziegler, the position of the bears being changed,
a seal introduced, and new gi-oundAAork constructed. .V Kashmir stag
was also renovated and 41 small nianunals were mounted. The latter
represent a distinct advance in a branch of taxidermy, which has
always been considered very difficult, special care being taken to
faithfully represent the physiognomy and characteristic attitudes of
these little animals. The results are very satisfactory, especially in
those cases in whicli it was possible to use fresh skins. The species
were chiefly North and South American and Euroiu'an. About 90
other sjiecimens and groups were repaired or prepared for the reserve
series. The taxidermist assigned directly to the division of mammals,
besides much miscellaneous work, nuide up 96 skins for the study
series and skinned 19 other mammals and 12 reptiles. The bird
taxidermist was chiefly engaged in remountmg valuable large Old

KEPOKT OF NATIONAL. MUSEUM, 1907. 35

World birds belonging to the exhibition series and cleaning and
rejjainting the bills and feet of others.

The osteologic-al })re[)arator and his assistant were mainly occu-
pied in roughing out skeletons from fresh specimens received IVom
the National Zoological Park and elsewhere, in preparing a series of
orang skeletons rcccMved from Dr. W. L. Abbott, and in cleaning
mammal skulls. Many of the last mentioned were larsfe, and the
fresh specimens from the Zoological Park included such forms as the
camel, zebu, sea wolf, tliar, markhor, and rhea.

The chief modeler and general preparator was engaged princi-
pally in overhauling and completing the insect exhibit, in cleaning
corals, and in preparing plaster models of various subjects. An im-
portant work was the restoration of the jaws of two fossil porpoises,
one of which was a type specimen.

In the department of geology the systematizing of the petro-
graphic material received from the U. S. Geological Survey, and the
separation and labeling of the duplicates has advanced rapidly. This
collection is now in better condition than ever before. The entire
exhibition series of minerals and gems was overhauled and cleaned.

The arrangement of the Pate and Ulrich collections of fossil
invertebrates, two of the largest accessions of the year, required a
large amount of attention, a total of 12,368 specimens having been
numbered and registered.

Aside from the preparation of specimens, the work in the section
of vertebrate paleontology consisted largely in designating the types,
cotypes, and illustrated specimens, completing the records, preparing
card catalogues, and revising the manuscript and correcting the
proofs of the Type Catalogue Bulletin. For the first time in the
history of the department it is possible to state with comparative
certainty the nature and Avhereabouts of the type material in this
section. The contents of 123 boxes, received from Dr. J. B, Hatcher
and Mr. C. H. Sternberg, upward of twenty years ago, have been
cleaned and repaired, and are ndw ready for the preparation of
mounted specimens or for use as duplicates. This collection con-
sists largely of the remains of the fossil rhinoceros, Teleoceras fos-
sigrer, and comprises 10,500 bones in various states of preservation.
With this material was discovered a nearly complete skeleton of a
new' species of small horned rodent. Seventy-eight storage trays of
Titanoth&nmn material were cleaned and sorted, and satisfactory
progress was made in working up the G amptosaurus remains, among
which were discovered a fairly complete skeleton of C. disfcir^ and
sufficient jDortions of the type specimen of C. nanus to make a fidl
restoration of this form.

The preparator in the division of g(H)higy has been occupied, as
heretofore, in cutting sections and making casts, and in the general

AMiile the subject of physical anthropology, owinc: to lack of space,
has not been illustrated in the public halls except by a number of
Indian busts in the northwest range, several interesting collections
have been made accessible in the laboratory of the division, for the
benefit of intelligent visitors, as follows: A series of skulls from Peru
and Bolivia, showing pre-Columbian trephining: several sets of fossil
human bones, skulls from Kock Bluff, Illinois. Lansing, Kansas,
etc.. forming a series of supposed geological antiquity : casts of quater-
nary human skulls and other bones from Europe and of the calvarium
of the Pithecanthropus, with a group of modern Indian skulls show-
ing low forms of development : a series of artificially deformed
skulls illustrating the three principal tyjies of deformation; painted,
graven, and otherwise prepared skulls from North America. New
(iuinea. and Indonesia: a racial collection of jxdvises; the skeleton
of an Indian giant and one of an Indian jiigniy: a series of ty})es of
noi'inal variation in human Ixmes: a series of human and animal
brains, etc.

In ethnology one new grou{), consisting of five figures of Rouma-
nian i)easants in co.stume, was prepared and installed, and a figure of
;in Aino woman was modeled and added to the Aino case. Fhe pot-
tery in the wall cases M the Pueblo court was rearranged.

The most important additions to the exhibition in the hall of ]n'e-
historic archeology consisted of several hundred Hint and bone imple-
ments and many fossil bones, including fragments of the jawbones
and teeth of the mastodon, nuimmoth. bison, and horse, from a sulphur
spring at Afton. Indian Territory, which had been used as a shrine

from bcvcrul localities,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1!M)7. 87

The collection of casts of classic sculi)tiire, formerly in the graphic
arts court, was transferred to the hall now occupied hy the National
(Gallery of Art.

Much progress was made in improving the installation and labeling
in the division of technology. The superb collection of arms deposited
by the United States Cartridge (\>mi)any was moved to the east hall
adjoining the general exhibit of lirearms, where it pr()])erly belongs.
The Ijilienthal (lying machine was repaired and hung from the roof in
the east hall, and the ITargrave machine is l)eing prepared foi- exhibi-
tion in the same place. A large number of objects were sent iroiii this
division to the Jamestown Exposition, causing many temporary gaps
in' the exhibition halls.

A few additions were made to the exhibition series in ceramics, the
graphic arts, musical instruments, and medicine, and more important
ones to the historical collection.

Under existing conditions an extension of the biological exhibits
is scarcely practicable except in the case of small specimens, and the
etforts of the staff have been mainly directed toward keeping the
collections from deterioration and making such improvements as are
possible. The largest pieces added to the manunal series this year
were a grizzly bear and a skeleton of the beaked whale, Mesoplodon
grayi. A very large skeleton of another species of beaked Avhale,
Berardhis harnlii, was laid out preparatory to mounting. About 40
small mammals, supplying deficiencies in the Xearctic, Neotropic, and
Palearctic series, were also installed. The new style of label holder
mentioned in last year's report was put into use in connection with
the exhibit of Xorth American birds. The taxidermists have re-
mounted manj^ of the valuable Old "World birds and have cleaned
others, besides renovating the older groups of both mammals and
birds. A large amount of relabeling was done.
. About 3,000 specimens were added to the insect exhibit, and also
seven groups in Riker mounts, illustrating the life histories of insects.
It was found necessary to shut olf another small section of the hall
containing the reptiles and fishes for the accommodation of additions
to the reserve collection of insects. This action involved the rear-
rangement of all the exhibition cases in the hall.

The display series in systematic and applied geology was increased
by 175 specimens and that of minerals by 91 specimens. The most
conspicuous additions to the exhibit of vertebrate paleontology con-
sisted of a cast of Pareiasaurus baini, a restoration of Pteranodon,
and two remounts of the New Zealand Moa.

La\al Tnixersity, Quebec: Anastasia Island, on the east coast of
Florida, and the States of Nebraska and Iowa.

Professor Mason, head curator, and Doctor Hough, assistant cu-
rator of ethnology, were mainly occupied in studying the aborigi-
nal culture of the Malays and otlier peoples of the East Indies, as
exemplified in the large collections made and presented b}' Dr. W. L.
Abbott. Doctor Hough continued his work on the history of heating
and illumination and on the Pueblo collections, and completed two
papers, one on the agave as a cuhiiic plant, tiie otiu-r cm the palm and
agave as nuture ])lants. An account of the Museum-Gates expedition
of 1905 has been begun. A large series of Kskimo ivory needlecases
was lent to Dr. Frank Boas, of Columbia Universitv, tor use in a
special investigation on the development of ornament and in his gen-
ei-al work on the Jesup North Pacific Expedition.

Mr. Holmes, curator of i)rehistoi-ic ai'clieologv. made extensive use
of the collections of that division in tiie prei)ai'ation of numerous
descriptive articles for the Handbook of American Indians, the first
volume of whicli was issued by the liureau of American Ethnology
about the close of the fiscalyear. In the course of this work he also
made more detailed studies for embodiment in a monographic j^aper
on stone implements.

The assistant curator of historic religions. Doctor Casanowicz, has
in course of preparation a description of the exhibition collection of
■Jewish religious rites and ceremonials, which is probably the finest
in the country.

Many persons visited the Museum for the ]:)urpose of examining
specimens in ethnolog}' and archeology, and a lew hits of specimens
were also lent to assist in the conduct of investigations elsewhere.

Some of the more important biological researches completed dur-
ing the year are best indicated by the titles of the resulting publica-
tions, such as the fourth part of the work on the Birds of North and

EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 39

Middle America, by Mr. Ridgway; the Mammals of the Mexican
Boundary, by Doctor Mearns; the Families and Genera of Bats, by
Mr. Miller; the Plerpetology of Japan, by Doctor Stejneger; and the
Madreporarian Corals of the Hawaiian Islands and Laysan, by Doc-
tor Vaughan.

Doctor Lyon, assistant curator of mammals, completed or had in
preparation papers on Doctor Abbott's recent collections of mam-
mals from western Borneo and the coast and islands of northeastern
Sumatra, on Burchell's zebra, and on manmials from Mount Rainier,
Washington, and Kan-su Province, China, The catalogue of type
specimens of mammals, mentioned in previous reports, was made
ready for printing. A number of specimens of mammals were sent
1() naturalists connected Avith the British Museum for study and
comparison, and a few to American naturalists. As in previous
years, the membei-s of the Biological Survey made considerable use
of the collections.

The head curator of biology. Doctor True, examined the types of
fossil cetaceans in the collections of Johns Hopkins University, the
Woman's College of Baltimore, the Maryland Geological Survey, and
the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, preliminary to the
study of the related material in the National Museum, and to a re-
vision of the North American genera and species. He prepared an
account of the tyj)e specimen of Agorophhii^ 'pyginwus, to accompany
an unpublished plate which had been engraved for the Smithsonian
Institution some fifty years ago, and a description of the type of
ArioploiU(.ssa forcipata, of which a cast has been presented by the
Museum of Comparative Zoology. He also continued work on the
National Museum collection of recent species of beaked whales, giv-
ing special attention to the genera Mesoplodon and Berardius.

Mr. Ridgway, curator of birds, began the writing of Part V of his
work on the Birds of North and Middle America, his investigations
in that connection relating especially to the humming birds. He was
assisted in the measuring of specimens and the preparation of refer-
ences for the synonymical tables by Mr. Riley, aid. Doctor Rich-
mond, assistant curator of birds, added about 3,500 cards to the card
catalogue of genera and species of birds, on which he has been en-
gaged for some years. He also began upon an ornithological biblio-
graphy supplementary to that of the Zurich Concilium. Mr, H. C.
Oberholser, of the Biological Survey, continued his studies on the
collections of birds from Sumatra, Borneo, and the China Sea, con-
tributed by Dr. W. L. Abbott. Mr. Austin H. Clark, of the Bureau
of Fisheries, spent some time during the winter in working up the
birds collected by the Fisheries steamer Albatross during the expe-

various species in the ]Museuni collections from Japan. Korea, and
elsewhere, and described a number of new species. The members of
the American Ornithologists Union .umI its committee on nomencla-
ture consulted the collections, as did tlie iialuralists of the Biological
Survey.

special field work was undertaken, and published a paper on the
origin of the Atlantic fauna and flora of Norway, based upon ma-
terial in the Museum.

Doctor Evermann, curator of fishes, in conjunction with Mr. Alvin
Scale and ]Mr. "W. C. Kendall, studied and reported on a collection
of fishes from Argentina and on two collections of Philippine fishes,
one made by Dr. E. A. Mearns. the other received from the Philip-
])ine government. Doctor Evermann, with the help of Mr. E. L.
Goldsborough, also did considerable work on the collections of fishes
from the coasts of Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon,
and California. ]Mr. Bean, assistant curator of fishes, and Mr. Scale
prepared a paper relating to Philippine fishes. Many specimens of
fishes, mainly from different parts of the Pacific Ocean, were sent to
Stanford University for study by Dr. David S. Jordon and Dr. C. PI.
Gilbert; and several rays and a specimen of Katheostoma were lent
to Dr. Ulric Dahlgren. of Princeton University, for examination.

Doctor Dyar, acting assistant curator of insects, continued the
preparation of a monograph on the mosquitoes, while the several
custodians w'ho are also connected with the Bureau of Entomology,
and others from that Bureau, pursued investigations along the lines
of their specialities. About 2,000 specimens of insects were lent to
entomologists, including materials supplied to Prof. E. D. Ball and
Dr. P. P. Calvert, for use in working up certain groups ,for the
" Bioloiria Centrali- Americana." Doctor (^ihert now has all of
the Central American Odonata belonging to the Museum, and ]Mr.
W. D. Pierce all of the Coleoptera of the order Strepsiptera.

Doctor Dall, curator, and Doctor Bartsch, assistant curator of
mollusks, completed so much of their monograph of Pacific Coast
Pyramidellida' as relates to the Oregonian fauna, and facilities for
the exanjination and study of certain groups of mollusks were fur-
nished to several naturalists.

the Miscellaneous Collections of the Smithsouiau Institution. Dr.
Harriet Richardson, collalnmitor, worked up and reported on the
isojxxl crustaceans collected during recent cruises of the Fisheries
steamer Albatross in the Noi'th and South Pacific Ocean. Mr.
Austin H. Clark, naturalist of the steamer Albatross during the
North Pacific expedition of lOOO, spent several months in the study
of the crinoids secured on that cruise, as well as the specimens in the
general collection of the Museum, and prepared descriptions of a
number of new species for publication.

A considerable number of specimens of the genns Hellaster of star-
fishes from the Galapagos Islands were lent to Dr. Hubert L. Clark,
of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, for nse in a revision of the
genus. The collection of pedunculate cirripeds was sent to Dr. H. A.
Pilsbry, of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, who has kindly
offered to report on this group as represented in the National Museum.
Arrangements w^ere made wath Mr. J. A. Cnshman, of the Boston
Society of Natural History, to work up the foraminifera from the
deep-sea dredgings and soundings of the Fisheries steamer Albatross
in the Pacific Ocean, and a considerable amount of material has al-
ready been sent to him.

In the division of plants Doctor Rose, associate curator, continued
his studies of Mexican plants and of the cacti, on which he has been
engaged for some years. Mr. Maxon, assistant curator, made good
progress in his work on the American ferns, giving special attention to
those of Cuba and Jamaica, and Mr. Painter, aid, continued his in-
vestigations of water lilies. Over a thousand plants Avere lent for
study to both American and European botanists.

In the division of geology and mineralogy nearly all of the time
available for research work was devoted to the study of meteorites
and associated phenomena. Six papers on this subject by the head
purator. Doctor Merrill, three being in collaboration with Mr. Tassin,
assistant curator of mineralogy, were prepared and, with one excep-
tion, were printed during the year. At the close of the year Doctor
Merrill was engaged in an exhaustive study of the problems presented

by the Coou Butte crater. Arizona, which he visited in May. Mr.
Tassin al«o made a larac luiniber of chemical analyses and established
the identity of 1128 minerals Ijelonging to the old collection.

Doctor Bassler, assistant curator of strati<rraphic paleontology,
prepared ])apers on the Pliocene Bryozoa of Californin and lh(> De-
vonian Bryozda of "Wisconsin, and, in conjunction with Mr. E. O.
Chich. had nearly completed a monogi'ai)h on the American Ostra-
coda. At the close of the year he was at work on a collection of Rus-
sian Ordovician Bryozoa received from Dr. A. von Michwitz, and, in
cooperation with the U. S. Geological Survey, was engaged in a study
of certain stratigraphic problems in the Southern A])palachians and
the Mississipi)i Valley. ^Ir. (lidlev continued his investigations on
Mesozoic fossil mannnals, completing his studies on the fossil horse,
as represented in the National Museum and the American Museum
of Natural History, and on a new fossil rodent. Mylo<iauJido\ Mr.
(irilmore has prepared and studied the type specimen of Morosaurus
((f/ilis, and has begun to work up the material in the Marsh collection
rei)resenting Ca/yiptosaurus, with the view of revising and giving a
detailed description of the genus. In paleobotany no researches were
carried on directly by the Museum, although work was constantly in
progress at the ^Museum by !Mr. David White and Dr. F. H. Knowl-
ton, members of the staff of the U. S. Geological Surve3\

Twenty important lots of material from the several divisions of
the dei^artment of geology were lent to individuals and establishments
elsewhere to aid in investigations, and a number of specialists were
given facilities at the Museum to conduct researches in furtherance
of their own studies. Among the latter the following may be men-
tioned: Dr. George Mikhailowski. Director of the University Mu-
seum, Dorpat. Kussia; Dr. Constantine Pfaffius, attache to the gov-
ernor-general of the Amur Territories; Miss Mary W. Porter, of
Oxford. England; the Hon. Frank Springer, of New^ Mexico; Prof.
R. T. Jackson, of Harvard University; Prof. Aug. F. Foerste, of
Dayton, Ohio; Mr. Barnum Brown. Mr. A. Hussakoff, and Dr. O. P.
Hay, of the American Museum of Natural History, and Prof. E. W.
Berrv, of the ^Nlarvland Geological Survev.

EXPLORATIONS.

No field work was carried on by members of the staff of the depart-
ment of anthropology, but important accessions w'ere obtained from
explorations by the Bureau of American Ethnology and from the
excavations made by Dr. J. W. Fewkes at the Casa (irande ruin in
Arizona, under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution. Of
])rivate explorations by which the department was benefited, those by

cially noteworthy.

Alth()iio;h the amount of field collectinji; on hehali' of the depart-
ment of biology was inconsiderable, yet important contributions in
several lines were secured by this means. The head curator. Dr.
F. W. Ti-ue, as the result of visits made to Ciiesapeake Beach, Mary-
hnid, in November, IDOC), and March, 11)07, in search of the remains
of fossil cetaceans, obtained a nearly complete skull of a fossil po?--
poise, apparently representing a genus of Eurinodelphidie, a family
new to Xorth America, and the humerus and sacrum of a fossil seal,
probably the recently described Leptophoca lenis.

Dr. Leonhard Stejneger spent about two months of the summer
of 1906 in making observations on living salamanders in the vicinity
of Stribling Springs, Augusta County, Virginia, preparatory to a
revision of the group. This region was selected on account of its
geographical position and the number of its springs and small
streams, and although the season proved unfavorable, a considerable
number of both adults and larva? were obtained. Mr. W. L. Halm
made a zoological reconnaissance in the Kankakee basin of north-
western Indiana and Mr. Barton A. Bean a collecting trip to the
Florida Keys, the latter having been rendered possible through the
kindness of Mr. W. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, in permitting the use
of his private yacht for that pui'pose. Dr. Paul Bartsch, in the
autumn of 190G, visited the neighborhood of Wilmington, Xorth
Carolina, where he obtained fine series of specimens of the rare large
land shell, Planorhis inagnificus and of other species, including
some little-known and interesting forms. His observations indicate
that the region is an important distribution center, which would re-
pay more extensive and detailed inquiries. Dr. Harrison G. Dyar
and Mr. A. N. Caudell Avere in California at the beginning of the
year, engaged in an investigation of mosquitoes, the results of which
were published in the Proceedings of the jSIuseum. Subsequently
Doctor Dyar conducted additional field work relating to the same
subject.

Dr. J. N. Rose, associate curator of plants, continued his botanical
explorations in Mexico during the summer of 1906, returning w4th
over 1,000 herbarium specimens and about 200 living plants, the lat-
ter being deposited in one of the greenhouses of the Department of
Agriculture, as the Museum has no facilities for the care of such
material. Mr. W. R. Maxon, assistant curator of i^lants, spent about
two months in the spring of 1907 in botanical investigations at the
eastern end, of Cuba, with headquarters at Santiago de Cuba. Mr.
Maxon worked niainlv in the vullev of the Rio Buvaniita, on the

Ilutia rat. ('(ipronii/.s, and one specimen of the rai-e ('ul)an ivory-
billed '\voodj)ecker, Catv pephiliis Ixiird't.

Explorations by other branches of tlie (lovernment and by indi-
viduals resulted, as in prc\ious years, in extensive additions to the
collections of biology. The work of the Bureau of Fishciies in the
Northwestern Pacific Ocean, of the Biological Survey in the West,
of the Bureau of Plant Industry in Mexico, of Doctor Mearns in the
Philippines, of Prof. C. H. Eigennuimi in Cuba, and of Dr. H.
Pittier and Dr. Edward Palmer in ('(Mitral America and Mexico are
deserving of special mention. \^duable material was also received
as the result of explorations by the Costa Rican National Museum.

During May, 1907, Dr. (leorge P. Merrill, head curator of geologv,
spent a week at Coon Butte crater, Arizona, conducting investigations
under a grant from the Smithsonian Institution, and another week
in collecting specimens of fossil wood in the P^ossil Poorest reserva-
tion near Adamana, in the same Territory,

Mr. G. W. (iilmore, also under the auspices of the Smithsonian
Institution, left AVashington on May 22, 1007, for Alaska, where he
will explore several regions in which the remains of the mammoth
and other. large mammals are likely to occur. Under the joint aus-
pices of the U. S. Geological Survey and the Museum, geological
investigations were carried on in the Mississippi Valley by Dr. R. S.
Bassler, and on June 17. ]!K)7. Dr. A. C Peale was detailed to ac-
company Di'. F. 11. Knowlton, of the Survey, for the purpose of
studying certain [)roblems regardinix the fossil flora of the Laramie
region.

DISTRTBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS.

There were lent for stiuly to specialists not connected with the
Museum over O.OOO specimens. About 2r),0()0 du]dicate specimens
were used in making exchanges, and some 16,000 were distributed for
teaching purposes to educational establishments throughout the
country. The latter were mostly contained in 199 sets, as follows:
44 of marine invertebrates, 21 of fishes, 51 of rocks, 48 of nonmetallic
minerals and orcb. 2 of iiiinerult. and 29 of invertebrate fossils; and

MEETINGS.

I II November, 1900, the lecture hnll Mas fitted up for the purposes of
the National (lallerv of Art until more suitable (quarters could be
provided for the latter. '!'iii< picx cuted the holdiii<r of regular lee-
tiire cour.ses during the year, but l)y removiiiii: the cases occu]>vinir
the floor it has l)een possible to utilize the hall for a limited number
of meetings. The American Ornithologists' Union had its annual
congress here from November 13 to 15, inclusive.

On the evening of December 3, under the auspices of the Board
of Regents, a meeting was held to commemorate the life ami '-crvices
of tjie late Secretary. Samuel Pierpoiit T^angley, at \\ bich many of his

associates and friends were gathered. The Hon. Melville W. Fuller,
Chief Justice of the United States and Chancellor of the Institution,
presided, and made a few introductory renuirks. Addresses were
then delivered bv the Hon. Andrew D. White, a Keffent of the Insti-
tution; by Prof. E. C. Pickering, Director of the Harvard University
Observatory, and by Mr. Octave Chanute, the distinguished engi-
neer of Chicago.

The hall was also used by the National Academy of Sciences for
its public meetings from April lO to 18, inclusive.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The amount of correspondence Avhicli devolves upon the Museum
is exceptionally great, since, as a national institution, it has come to
be regarded by the public generally as a place where information
upon the several subjects within its scope may be freely sought. In
accordance with the traditional policy of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, of which it forms a part, the requests of correspondents have
been cordially complied with so far as jwssible, although the prep-
aration of replies encroaches heavily upon the time of the scientific
as well as the clerical staff. This is especially so when specimens
are transmitted for identification, the number of such received during
the past year having amounted to several thousand, contained in
nearly 800 separate lots or sendings.

The office of correspondence also attends to the distribution of the
i^ublications of the Museum, of which about 52,000 copies of volumes
and separates were distributed during the year to institutions and
individuals on the regular mailing list, and about 21,000 copies in
compliance with special requests.

PUBLICATIONS.

The publications issued during the year comprised 8 volumes and
4 parts of volumes. The Annual Report of the Museum for 1904-5,
the completion of which had been delayed, and that for 1905-6 were
both published in November, 190G. They were limited to adminis-
trative matters, the customary general appendix of scientific papers
being omitted.

Volume 31 of the Proceedings of the Museum was published on
February 19, 1907, and volume 32 was completed, except as to bind-
ing, by the end of the year. The former contained 26 papers, the
latter 51, a total of 77 important contributions based on the Museum
collections. These papers were also issued in separate form, in edi-
tions of 600 copies each, as soon as possible after their preparation,
for distribution to specialists and scientific establishments.

The Bulletins issued were No. 53, volume 2, "A Catalogue of the
type and figured specimens of Fossil Vertebrates and Plants, Miner-

als, Rocks, and Ores contained in the Dei)artnient of Geology; " No.
56, part 1; "Mannnals of the Mexican Boun(hirv of the United
States, by Maj. Edgar A. Mearns, surgeon. U. S. Army;" No. 57,
" Tlie faniilii's and genera of Bats, by (Jerrit S. Miller, jr.;" and
Volume XI of the Contributions from the U. S. National Herba-
rium, devoted entirely to a description of the " Flora of the State of
Washington," by ^Ir. Chai-les \'. Piper, of tlu' V. S, Department of
Agriculture.

The parts of volumes published were reprints of Parts A and G
of Bulletin No. 30, being directions for collecting birds and mollusks,
resi)ectively ; a supi)lement to Bulletin No. 51, being a list of the
publications of the Museum from 1901 to 190G, and three parts of
Volume X of the Contributions from the National Herbarium, as
follows: Part 2, "The genus Ptelea in the western and southwestern
United States and ISIexico," by Dr. Edward L. Greene; Part 3,
" Studies of jMexican and Central American plants," by Dr. J. N.
Rose, being the report of his botanical researches on a fifth trip to
Mexico in the interest of the division of plants; Part 4. " Legumi-
nos.T of Porto Rico," by Dr. Janet Perkins. '

The following Bulletins were in print at the close of the year, but
were not bound and i-eady for distribution until in July: No. 50,
Part IV. of the ''Birds of North and Middle America," by Robert
Ridgway: No. 58, " Herpetologv of Japan and adjacent territory,"
by Leonhard Stejneger; No. 59. "Recent Madreporaria of the Ha-
waiian Islands and Laysan," by 'V. Wayland \'^uighan.

In addition to the abo\e. twelve short pajiers descriptive of Mu-
seum material, mainly by members of its staff. Avere ])ublished in the
Quarterly Issue of the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections. Four
were on mammals, one on reptiles, one on luollnsks. one on mosquitoes,
three on botany, one on Brazilian Indians, and one faunal. Permis-
sion was also granted for the printing elsewhere than in the publica-
tions of the Institution and Museum of seven jiapers of a similar
character.

The 10() scientific papers mentioned above may l)e classified by
subjects as follows: ]Manmials, 22; birds, 3; reptiles and bactrach-
ians, 3; fishes. 19; insects, 8; mollusks, 9; crustaceans. 8; helmin-
thology, 2; echinoderms, 4; corals. 1; comparative anatomy, 2;
botany, 7; fauna. 1 : geology, 3: meteorites, 4; fossils, 9; ethnology,

report.

I-IMHAHV.

The Museum has been fortunate in continuing to receive from Prof.
(). 'I\ Mason. Dr. C. A. White, antl Dr. AV. L. Ralph many scientific

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1007. 49

publications of iinpoi lance in c(jniplct in^- (he sets and series in the
lihraiy. Dr. C. W. Kichniond has also continued to give to the
Museum many rare scientific works not to be found elsewhei-c in the
city. The phui adopted by the Regional I)ureau of the International
Catalogue of Scientific Literature, of sending to authors lists of their
scientific writings that have been entered in the Catalogue and re-
questing any that have not been cited, has proven of special benefit
to the Museum through the accjuisition of many separates from peri-
odicals, journals, etc.

The library now contains "30,807 volumes, 47,G42 unbound papers,
and 108 manuscripts. The additions during the year consisted of
2,581 books, 3,5()7 j^amphlets, and 111 parts of volumes. There were
catalogued 1,301 books, 3,r)r)7 pamphlets, and 13,215 parts of period-
icals. The number of cards added to the reference catalogue was
r).330. Gaps in 550 sets of publications were completely or partially
filled, and 1,020 books were bound.

The number of books, periodicals, and pamphlets borrowed from
the general library amounted to 34,850, including 9,397 assigned to
the sectional libraries, of Avhich there are 29.

PHOTOGRAPHY.

The photographic laboratory, which is one of the best equipped for
its purpose in existence, has for its object the preparation of illus-
trations for the publications of the Museum, for the manuscript
records of important collections, and for the exhibition halls, and of
copies of plans relating to details of construction in connection with
the buildings, furniture, etc.

The number of negatives made during the year was about 1,()00; of
silver, velox, bromide and platinum prints, about 3,000; of blueprints,
2,177; and of bromide enlargements, 229. Most of the enlargements
and some of the other work enumerated were prepared especially for
the exhibit of the Museum at the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Ex-
position, for Avliich there was also assembled by Mr. T. W. Smillie,
chief photographer, a unique collection illustrative of the history of
photography from 1824 to the present time.'

EXPOSITIONS.

Jmnestoivn Ter-Centennial Exposition. — As stated in last year's
report, the sundry civil act approved June 30, 1900, contained an item
of $200,000 to enable the United States Government, including the
Smithsonian Institution and National Museum, to prepare exhibits
for the Jamestown Exposition, which opened April 26, 1907. and in
the same connection an additional sum of $350,000 was appropriated
for the construction of the necessary buildings for their display.

50 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

The amount allotted from tlu' former appro[)riation to the Institu-
tion and Museum hv the Ter-Centennial C'onnnission was only
$1(1,000, with which to i)repare ami install a comprehensive collec-
tion illustratinir the abori<2:inal, colonial, and national history of
America, but it is believed that an elective result has been attained
even with these slender means. A separate buildin^r connected with
one of the main Government buildinjr^ by an open colonnade, known
as Annex B, and containin<^ about (5,000 square feet of floor space,
was assifjned to the Institution and its branches.

Mr. W. de C. Ravenel, Administrative Assistant of the Museum,
was desi<jnated to represent the Institution and the Museum, and the
preparation of the collection was carried forward and completed in
accordance with plans submitted by him and approved by the Secre-
tary. The following account relates only to the part taken by the
Museum. A more detailed report of the entire exhiliit under the
Institution will be published later in the report of the Smithsonian
proper.

The object sought by the Museum was to convey a correct impres-
sion of the character and culture of the aborigines, of the principal
events in American history during the three hundred years succeed-
ing the arrival of Capt. ,rohn Smith, and incidentally of the progress
made in certain fields of invention. This plan was carried out by
the assembling of collections of prehistoric Indian household imple-
ments, and of representations of the arts of Alaska and the outlying
possessions, Porto Rico, Hawaii. Samoa, and the Philippine Islands;
by means of groups of life-sized lay figures, photographs, paintings,
engravings, and colonial and revolutionary relics, illustrating certain
periods, costumes, and historic events; by the use of models illustra-
tive of primitive methods of land transportation in America and
early water transportation by steam, including some of the impor-
tant early railway locomotives, such as the Stevens locomotive of
1825; the "Tom Thumb." constructed by Peter Cooper, which in
1820 drew a car of passengers i;'> miles in fifty-seven minutes; the
English ""Stourbridge Lion;" the American "Best Friend." built
in 1831, and others; by means of models of the Morse telegraph and
Bell telephone apparatus, pieces of apparatus used by Prof. Joseph
Henry in connection with his electrical researches, and a series of
American small arms, muskets, rifles, and carbines, illustrating vari-
ous stages of development down to the Ignited States army rifle of
1903.

The most interesting group historically, pivpared under the super-
vision of Mr. W. H. Holmes, Chief of the Bureau of American Eth-
nology, depicts Capt. John Smith accompanied by ten of his com-
rades in the costumes of KU)". with arms of the same period, trading
for corn with a party of Powhatan Indians at the mouth of the

REPORT OF NATTONAT. MUSEUM, 1!)<)7. 51

James River, near one of their villages, Capt. John Smith and his
men arc in a sailboat 22 feet long and 8 feet wide; some of the
liuliaiis arc in a canoe alongside exchanging corn and skins foi- beads,
blankets, hatchets, looking-glasses, and the like; while some are on
the bank oll'cring fruit. Other groups show (he aborigines engaged
in making imi)lcmcnts. (he costumes worn by the Virginia planter
and his wife, (he l)u(ch pa(roon and his wife, the Puritan and his
wife, and a Spanish soldier and lady.

Another feature of special interest is a frieze aroiuid the hall of
colored portraits of 130 persons prominent in American history,
beginning with Christopher Columbus and including the most
famous explorers, soldiers, sailors, philanthropists, authors, jurists,
artists, scientists, inventors, and architects. Below this frieze the
wall space is occupied by a collection of engravings, paintings, and
photographs of historic scenes and events in American history, in-
cluding 50 colored drawings of Indians, facsimilies of those made
in ir)Sr) by Governor John White. The principal events in the
development of photograi^hy and in medical science are also repre-
sented by special exhibits.

International Maritime Exposition at Bordeaux. — This exposition,
Avhicli opened on May 1 of the present calendar year and will close
on October 31, is the outcome of a plan conceived by the French
Maritime League to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the
beainning of steam navigation. The United States Government was
invited through the French Ambassador to participate, and Congress
voted the sum of $15,000 to meet the necessary expenses. At the
request of the Secretary of State. the Smithsonian Institution agreed
lo undertake the preparation, installation, and maintenance of a
Government exhibit, and Mr. W. de C. Ravenel, Administrative
Assistant of the Museum, was placed in charge as the representative
of the Smithsonian Institution. Of the amount appropriated the
sum of $8,000 was allotted for this purpose, but owing to the late
date at which Congress took action it was impossible to complete
the installation at Bordeaux until the 1st of July.

The objects selected from the National Museum consist in part of
a number of models illustrating the boats and other water craft used
by the aborigines of the Western Hemisphere, and show the effect
of environment on structural materials. They have been arranged
geographically from Point Barrow, in Alaska, to the Straits of ^lagel-
'lan, and include the Eskimo kaiak and the skin canoe of Arctic
waters; the dugout of the Pacific coast, and the birch-bark canoe
of Canada, the Eastern States, and the Great Lakes; the old form
of canoe made from a single tree trunk by the Indians of Virginia;
the coracle or " bull boat '' of the Sioux, made of skin stretched over
a crate, and the reed cane float of the early inhabitants of Nevada,

etc.; an ancient form of raft nuulo of three logs; a seagoing raft
of logs, provided v.ith a kind of platform, cabin, and sail; a rough
l)ark canoe from Peru and the Amazon region, and a specimen of
the Fuegian bark (-uioe. frc^qiKMitly constructed in sections for con-
venience in portage.

The Museum also furnished drawings, j)liotographs. and models
of John Fitch's boat, -which steamed on the Delaware River in 1787.
and of Robert Fulton"< steamer Clci-uioiit. which, on August 11. 1807,
made its famous trip on the Hudson River from New York City to
Albany, a distance of 150 miles in thirty-two liours. Other celebrated
boats, represented by models, are the Savannah, the first steamship
to cross the Atlantic, and the Phoenix, the first steamboat to navi-
gate the ocean.

The Bureau of Fisheries, the (\)ast and (ieodetic vSurvey, the Bu-
reau of Navigation, the Reclamation Service, the Isthmian Canal
Commission, the ^^'al• and Navy Departments, and the Life-Saving
Service also contributed models and photographs. Through the
courtesy of Mr. R. Fulton I^udlow , grandson of Robert Fulton, there
was also exhibited the compass used by Pilot Acker on the Clermont
on the Hudson River, during 1807 and 1S08. and a number of other
relics of F'ulton belonging to Mr. Ludlow.

ORGANIZATIOX AND STAFF.

To the National (lallerv of Art. a definite status, under the imme-
diate direction of the National Museum, was given during the past
year, as elsewhere exi)lained. The curatorship of this important
l)raiicli has been temporarily accepted by Mr. W. H. Holmes. Chief
of the T^ureau of American Ethnology, and an artist of distinction.

Mr. Lancaster D. Burling, formerly of the Geological Survey, was
appointed an assistant curator in the division of stratigraphic pale-
ontology, in charge of the Cand)rian collection: and. in the absence
of Dr. W. H. Ashmead. Dr. Harrison (i. Dyar acted as assistant
curator of insects during several months. Mr. Otto Heidemann. of
the liureau of Entomology, was made custodian of the Hemiptera in
the division of insects.

Mr. Alvin Seale. formerly of Leland Stanford Junior University,
was employed during three months of the winter to assist in rear-
ranginir the collections of fishes.

The furlough of Mr, (Jerrit S. Miller, jr.. now temporarily con-
nected with the British Museum, was continued for another year.
Mr. T.,eRoy Abrams, assistant curator of plants, Mr. AValter T>. Hahn,
aid in the division of mammals, and Mr. E. J. Hoi'gan. aid in the sec-
tion of birds' eggs, severed their connection with the Museum.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 53

Through the death, on June 27, 1907, of Mr. Paul E(hnon(l Hcck-
with, assistant cui'ator of tlie division of history, the Museum sullered
a severe loss. The main burden of installing and earing for the his-
torical collections fell upon him, and he was also in direct charge of
the collections of coins and medals and of ceramics, with all of which
subjects he was widely accpuiinted. Endowed with an artistic tem-
perament, the exhibitions which he arranged wei'e always pleasing
and attractive to the public, while his personality won for the Museum
many generous and a})})reciative friends. He was devoted to his work
and untiring in the fuliillment of his duties. Mr. Beckwith was born
at St. Louis, Missouri, September 22, 1848, and entered the service of
the Museum in 188G. He was a member of several scientific and
patriotic societies.

Tlie ornamental art of tlie aborigi-
nes has recently received much de-
served attention on the part of eth-
nologists, and the present paper is a
brief review of the subject, referring
especially to the origin, significance,
and morphology of ornament as em-
bodied in sculpture, plastic art. en-
graving, painting, textiles, inlaying,
and other less important branches of
art. Especial attention is given to the
introduction of life forms into the
decorations, the relation of these to
the geometric forms, and the many
strange modilications that result from
the association.

a single people, but among many peo
pies. Such common source is to be
sought neither in the picturing of
uatur;il forms in pictography, nor in
tlie designs of the decorator, as in
such use the figures employed have
usually no deep significance or. at
most, no widespread application, but
in the use of symbols embod.ving re-
ligious concepts which are deeply im-
pressed ui)on the primitive mind in
general. Such a source is recognized
in the separation of the primitive
world or cosmos into four regions and
tlie transferrence of the sacred char-
acter of the beings occupying these
regions to the device which, in course
of common usage, came to represent
them.

This paper includes* a summary of
shell-heap phenomena in general, and
more especially of such of these re-
mains as are attributed to the known
tribes of the Middle Atlantic tide-
water region. The great midden de-
posit at Popes Creek, Maryland, which
is taken as a type, is composed of
oyster shells and is one of the most
extensive known. The area covered is
upwards of :'iO acres, and the depth
near the l;inding before removal of
1,-irge portions for fertilizing purposes
was about 20 feet. The tribes con-
cerned in the accumulation of these
(lepijsils can not be identified, liut they
are doubt l(>ss represented by the Pow-
bataus or neighboring tribes on the
eastern side of the I'otomac.
