Ravenel, Administratwe Assistant to the Secretary, In charge of the United States National Museiim. INCEPTION AND HISTORY. The Congress of the United States in the act of August 10, 1846, founding the Smithsonian Institution recognized that an opportunity was afforded, in carrying out the design of Smithson for the increase and diffusion of knowledge, to provide for the custody of the mu- seum of the Nation. To this new establishment was, therefore, in- trusted the care and development of the national collections. At first the cost of maintaining the museum was paid from the Smithsonian income; then for a time the Government bore a share, but during the past 40 years the Congress has provided for the expenses of the Museum, thus protecting the limited resources of the Institution. The museum idea was fundamental in the organic act establish- ing the Smithsonian Institution, which was based upon a 10 years' discussion in the Congress and the advice of the most distinguished scientific men, educators, and intellectual leaders of the Nation of 75 years ago. It is interesting to note how broad and comprehensive were the views which actuated the Congress 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, al- though containing many 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 and curious research and all objects of natural history, plants, and geo- logical and mineralogical specimens belonging to the United States," 11 12 EEi'ORl: OF NAa:lO^AL museum, 1922. thus indicating 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 appreciated that additions would be necessary to the col- lections then in existence, and provision was made for their increase by 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 Smithsonian 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 part of September, 1846, the Regents began formulating a plan of operations. The report of the committee appointed for this purpose, submitted in December and January following, shows a thorough consideration of the subject in both the spirit and letter of the law. It would seem not out of place to cite here the first pronouncement of the board with reference to the character of the Museum : " In obedience to the requirements of the charter,^ which leaves little discretion in regard to the extent of accommodations to be provided, your committee recommend that there be included in the building 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 i-equired to be included in the Museum, your committee regard its ethnological portion, including all collections that may supply items in the physical history of our species, and illustrate the manners, customs, 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. * * * jj^ ^-j^jg 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 that in the Museum, if the funds of the Institution permit, might judiciously be included various series of models illustrating the progress 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 ; but this they propose only so far as it may not encroach on ground already covered by the numerous models in the Patent Office. " Specimens of staple materials, of their gradual manufacture, and of the finished product of manufactures and the arts may also, your committee think, be usefully introduced. This would supply oppor- > since the Institution was not chartered in a legal sense, but established by Congress, the use of the word " charter " In this connection was not correct. REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 13 tunity to examine samples of the best manufactured articles our country affords, and to judge her gradual progress in arts and manu- factures. * * * " The gallery of art, your committee think, 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, be- ing admitted under such regulations as the board may prescribe. Your committee also think that, as the collection of paintings and sculpture will probably accumulate 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 exhibit 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 concentrate at the metropolis for a certain portion of each winter the best results of talent in the fine arts." The important points in the foregoing report are (1) that it was the opinion of the Regents 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 proposed, pending the gathering of art collections, which would of necessity be slow, to provide for loan exhibitions by co- operating with art academies and societies. In the resolutions which were adopted upon the presentation of the 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 Museum and the library was long ago assumed by Congress, the Institution taking upon itself only so much of the necessary responsi- bility for the administration of these and subsequent additions to its activities as would weld them into a compact whole, which together form a unique and notable agency for the increase and diffusion of ' Resolved, That it is the intention of the act of Congress establishing the Institution, and in accordance with the design of Mr. Smlthson, as expressed in his will, that one of the principal modes of executing the act and the trust is the accumulation of collec- tions 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 knowl- edge, 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 investigations and efforts of those who may devote themselves to the pursuit of any branch of knowledge. 14 REPORT OF NATIONAL, MUSEUM, 1922. knowledge, for the direction of research, for cooperation with depart- ments of the Government and with universities and scientific societies in America, and likewise afford a definite correspondent to all scien- tific institutions and men abroad who seek interchano;e of views or knowledge with men of science in the United States, Since that time the only material changes in the scope of the Government museum have been the addition of a department of American history, intended to illustrate hy an appropriate assem- blage of objects, the lives of distinguished personages, important events, and the domestic life of the country from the colonial period to the present time, and provision for the separate administration of the National Gallery of Art as a coordinate unit under the Smith- sonian Institution. From 1906 to 1920 the Gallery was administered as the department of fine arts of the Museum. The development of the Museum has been greatest in those sub- jects which the conditions of the past three-quarters of a century have made most fruitful — the natural history, geology, ethnology, and archeology of the United States — supplemented by many col- lections from other countries. The opportunities for acquisition in these directions have been mainly brought about through the activi- ties of the scientific and economic surveys of the Government, many of which are the direct outgrowths of earlier explorations, stimulated or directed by the Smithsonian Institution. The Centennial Ex- hibition of 1876 afforded the first great opportunity for establishing a department of the industrial arts, of which the fullest advantage was taken, but the department or gallery of the fine arts made little progress, though not from lack of desire or appreciation, until 1906, when circumstances led to its definite recognition. The histori- cal collections have been greatly augmented within the past few years by large collections illustrative of the World War, including a comprehensive series of aircrafts and their accessories. AVhile it is the primary duty of a museum to preserve the objects confided to its care, as it is that of a library to preserve its books and manuscripts, yet the importance of public collections rests not upon the mere basis of custodianship nor upon the number of specimens assembled and their money value, but upon the use to which thej'^ are put. Judged by this standard, the National Museum may claim to have reached a high state of efficiency. From 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 Capi- tal. In its well-designed cases, in which every detail of structure, appointment, and color is considered, a selection of representative objects is placed on view to the public, all being carefully labeled in- dividually and in groups. The child as well as the adult has been provided for and the kindergarten pupil and the high-school scholar REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 15 can be seen here supplementing their class-room occupations or studies. Under authority from Congress the small colleges and higher grades of schools and academies throughout the land, espe- cially 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 the duties incident to the care, classification, and labeling of collections in order that they may be accessible to the public and to students, has yet in these operations made important discoveries 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 advancement of those belonging to the establishment. Most freely have tJiey been put at the disposal of investigators connected with other institutions, with- out whose help the record of scientific progress based upon the ma- terial in the Museum would have been greatly curtailed. When it is possible to so arrange, the investigator comes to Washington ; other- wise such collections as he needs are sent to him, whether he resides in this country or abroad. In this manner practically every prom- inent specialist throughout the 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. OPEKATIONS OF THE YEAR. APPROPRIATIONS. The maintenance of the National Museum for the fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1922, was provided for by the following amounts appro- priated in the sundry civil bill and in a deficiency bill, approved March 4, 1921, and December 15, 1921, respectively: Preservation of collections $312,620 Furniture and fixtures 20,000 Heating and ligliting 72,300 Building repairs 10,000 Books ^ 2, 000 Postage 500 Printing and binding 37, 500 In addition to the above a small balance of $140.54 available from a previous special appropriation for printing and binding brought the total for the year up to $455,060.54. As set forth in the report for 1921 the Museum is receiving prac- tically the same appropriations it did 11 years ago, notwithstanding the increased scope of the Museum, the increased collections, and the increased cost of all material and labor necessary to its mainte- nance. Thus prevented from forging ahead, the National Museum can not long continue to hold its place in the forefront of American museums. That it attains the excellent results recorded from year to year is owing in large measure to the personal qualities of the members of its staff, to whom great credit is due. Steps were taken this year to unify the business methods of the Government as to the handling of accounts, supplies, traffic matters, etc. In accordance with the provisions of the budget and accounting act of June 10, 1921, a uniform classification of objects of expendi- tures was prescribed on May 11, 1922, for all executive departments and independent offices of the Government, effective July 1, 1922. This is expected to give uniformity in administrative appropriation and fund accounting and in the analysis of governmental expendi- tures for the information of the President, the Congress, and such agencies of the Government as are required to deal with govern- mental expenditures. 17075—22 2 17 18 EEPORT OF NATIONAL, MUSEUM, 1922. BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT. Shortly after the completion of the Natural Historj^ Building, it was noted that the keystone in the east arch of the rotunda was slightly out of place. As years passed the same thing occurred, in lesser degree, in the west arch, and a slight separation appeared in the joints of the balustrade on the fourth story, just below the stone arches. These joints were plastered up from time to time, but, owing to the inaccessibility of the keystones, no steps were taken either to put them back in place or to fill the exposed openings. The condition of these keystones, although not considered dangerous, distinctly marred the appearance of the rotunda. The location of the east keystone continued to change, however, and it was deemed advisable this year to have a thorough investigation made. As the result of two examinations of the dome and the great piers supporting the dome, it was found that the displacement of the stone arches which span the piers, the opening of joints at the ends of the balustrades xmder these arches, and in the fourth story floor at the ends of the piers have all been brought about by a movement at the end of the piers in a direction away from the center of the rotunda. As there is no indication of movement of the piers in the lower portion of the building, it appears that they have simply leaned outward at the top, doubtless caused by the eccentric application of the weight of the dome. Since the piers are fully braced by a large number of steel beams to the walls of the building and no movement of the outer walls has been observed, it is assumed that the walls are successfully resisting the pressure from the piers and that the movement of the latter will probably not continue much farther, if at all. In the meantime an ingenious method of measuring the exact location of the keystones has been devised, and careful observations will be made at intervals of a few months to determine what, if any, further dis- placement occurs. Aside from the usual upkeep, the more important repair work this year in the Natural History Building consisted in the painting of ceilings, side walls, and steel roof trusses in the space between the inner skylights and the roofs of the three main halls; painting all borders in corridors on ground and third story; plastering and pointing up the walls all over the buildings ; repainting floors in the two west ranges, ground story, with wood preservative paint; com- pleting and varnishing the cork flooring in the corridors at the east end of the east hall, third story, and painting adjacent floors; in- stalling ventilating ducts and painting ceilings, walls, and floors in four housekeeping rooms; changing ventilating ducts in the engine room; renovating and repainting large doors at the east and west or service entrances ; and the painting of all exterior wooden window REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 19 frames and sashes on the ground and third stories, including those of the courts. In the Arts and Industries Building the repairs included the con- version of the second story southeast range into two exhibition halls by the removal of one partition and the construction of another; the painting of seven office rooms and three exhibition halls — ^the north hall and the two halls in the southeast range, second story; the repairing and refinishing of the oak wainscoting and settees at the main entrance; the construction and erection of two swinging doors at the entrance to the southeast pavilion; repairing of floors, including a beginning on a new composition floor with concrete base in the library; and the completion of the painting of all exterior woodwork of the windows, begun last year. One Museum office in the Smithsonian Building was painted. The exterior window frames and sashes on the west end of that building and on the Museum portion of the south side were repaired and painted, and one copper down spout renewed. The roof of the South Shed was given a coat of metallic paint, and the roof of the Aircraft Building was placed in thorough order by scraping and re- painting with asbestos roof cement paint. The power plant was not operated during the first two months nor the last month of the fiscal year. During this time electric current was purchased at a slight increase over the rate of the pre- ceding year, under contract made by the Treasury Department. This plan is advantageous in that it gives opportunity to make any needed repairs to the machinery and permits the men to take their leave without the Museum being required to hire others to take their places. Heat was furnished to the buildings from October 5, 1921, to May 13, 1922, with a consumption of 3,322 tons of bituminous coal. In addition, 21 tons of stove coal were used in the summer for the domestic hot-water purposes. The quantity of coal required this year was appreciably more than last, due chiefly to the fact that it was a much colder winter. The cost of coal varied from $7.88 to $6.22 a ton at the close of the fiscal year. Owing to the reduction in the price of coal, the deficiency appropriation of $2,300 was not used. To this lowering of the price of coal is due the decreased cost of the production of electric current, which was 2.799 cents a kilowatt-hour this year as against over 3 cents during the preceding year, less even than paid during the summer months. This does not mean, however, that the Museum could generate current at this l^rice the entire year, for such is not the case. The total amount of current generated was 389,297 kilowatt-hours. As a matter of economy, the hot-water heating system of the Natural History Building was extended to the concrete building in the 20 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. east court erected by the Treasury Department during the war and afterwards turned over to the Museum. The supposedly temporary nature of the court building at its erection led to the installation of a low-pressure live-steam system, somewhat along the lines of a vapor system, because of the ease with which it could be installed. The new arrangement is more economical and very satisfactory. The demand for steam in the Freer Building was nearly as great as during the preceding year and the apparatus worked satisfactorily in the main. The hand-operated stokers recently installed in the old boilers in the Arts and Industries Building operated with difficulty during the first part of the winter. The trouble was found, how- ever, to be due to the kind of coal, which was very low in ash, and it had a very low fusing point, the coal being the same as success- fully used in the Natural History Building since the installation of the plant. This difficulty was quickly obviated by substituting a high ash coal. With a view to reducing the expense of keeping the furnaces in repair, the Drake nonclinking furnace blocks purchased during the previous fiscal year were installed in the furnace of one of the boilers in the Natural History Building. These blocks are perforated so that the air moving through a passage between the blocks and fur- nace walls passes out into the coal bed at numerous points, tending to prevent the formation of clinkers and assisting their removal by making the clinkers brittle. The operation has been so satisfactory that blocks have been purchased to line the furnace walls of two more boilers. The ice plant was operated for 4,500 hours, producing 310.6 tons of ice at a cost of approximately $4.06 a ton. The ice machine, which was a very cheap one originally, has been in use for over 10 years and is practically worn out. Ice is furnished to all of the buildings under the Institution in the Mall, and during the 10 years of its existence the machine has saved $11,000 in the purchase of ice, based on the contract price for ice in the District during that period. The four passenger elevators in the Natural History Building and the two automatic elevators in the Smithsonian Building were re- paired by the installation of new hoist and drum counterweight ropes. Many other minor improvements and changes were made in connection with both the heating and electrical system of the five buildings. The Museum is still having difficulty in getting experi- enced mechanical help and in retaining the men who prove satisfac- tory on account of the low wages paid. During the year 37 exhibition cases and 116 pieces of storage, laboratory, and office furniture were acquired. Of the exhibition cases, 22 were made in the workshop and 15 were acquired from the War Department. Of the storage, laboratory, and office equipment. REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 21 20 pieces were purchased and 96 manufactured in the shop. No contracts for the manufacture of cases and other furniture outside of the Museum were made on account of the high cost of labor as compared with the salaries paid by the Museum. At the close of the fiscal year there were on hand 3,679 exhibition cases, 11,572 pieces of storage, laboratory, office, and other furniture, 47,355 standard unit drawers, 4,712 metal unit drawers, 1,047 wooden unit boxes, 224 wooden double unit boxes, 11,844 standard insect drawers, 752 wing frames, 11,681 special drawers with compo bot- toms, and 5,885 special drawers with paper bottoms. Blue prints of Museum exhibition and storage furniture were sup- plied individuals connected with the following institutions: The Carnegie Institution of Washington, the Red Cross Museum, Wash- ington, D. C. ; the University of Pennsylvania; the Alabama Poly- technic Institute; the Mississippi State College; the Chamber of Commerce, Columbus, Ohio; the Fergus County High School, Lewis- town, Mont. ; the Eastern High School, Washington, D. C. ; the Bu- reau of Supplies and Accounts of the Navy Department; and the Bureau of the Biological Survey and the Bureau of Entomology of the Department of Agriculture. COLLECTIONS. The total number of specimens acquired by the Museum during the year was approximately 359,676. Received in 1,899 separate acces- sions, the specimens were classified and assigned as follows: An- thropology, 6,568 ; zoology, 220,369 ; botany, 98,581 ; geology, 23,504 ; textiles, woods, medicines, foods, and miscellaneous organic products, 2,792; chemical types, 7; mineral and mechanical technology, 386; graphic arts, 1,014; and history, 6,455. Additional material to the extent of 995 lots, mainly geological, was received for special examination and report. This determina- tion, without charge, of material, sent in from all parts of the coun- try is of advantage to the Museum in furnishing occasional desirable specimens and records of many new localities. Its economic use was well demonstrated during the World War when the Allies were in urgent need of certain raw material and the Museum, through its department of geology, furnished information concerning localities known to yield the same. Material lent to specialists for study, mainly on behalf of the Museum, amounted to 19,902 specimens. Some 33,268 specimens were sent out in exchange, for which the Museum received valuable material specially desired for the collec- tions. Also 10,092 specimens were used as gifts to educational estab- lishments, of which 4,691 specimens were contained in regular sets of labeled material previously prepared for shipment and 5,401 22 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 19'22. specimens in specially selected sets to meet particular needs. The regular sets comprised 30 of rock weathering and soil formation, aggregating 630 specimens; 30 of ores and minerals, aggregating 2,550 specimens; 3 of fossil invertebrates, aggregating 138 specimens; 8 of mollusks, aggregating 1,192 specimens; and 2 of fishes, aggre- gating 181 specimens. The sendings prepared to meet special needs covered a far wider range of subjects, as follows: Twelve lots of marine invertebrates, aggregating 883 specimens; 6 of mammals, aggregating 240 specimens; 1 of fishes, containing 45 specimens; 5 of birds, aggregating 162 specimens; 7 of insects, aggregating 439 specimens; 3 of mollusks, aggregating 20 specimens; 6 of fossils, aggregating 2,529 specimens; 14 of miscellaneous geological mate- rial, aggregating 741 specimens ; 2 of archeological specimens and 4 of ethnological material, comprising 151 and 94 specimens, respec- tively ; 32 specimens of physical anthropology, 36 of textiles, and 29 of woods. Among the important accessions this year the Herbert Ward African collection is unique as portraying in a remarkable man- ner the native dignity of the African race at the time of Stan- ley's explorations, before contact with the white race. The final consignment of specimens from the Australian expedition under Mr. Charles M. Hoy, large series of insects from South America and Alaska, and the Otto Buchtien herbarium from Bolivia fur- nished especially desirable material in the department of biology. Exceptional geological additions included Bolivian tin and tungsten ores, the best examples of camotite and hewettite thus far found in the United States, new meteoric falls and finds, exhibition specimens of minerals, gems of beauty and value purchased through the Frances Lea Chamberlain Fund, and paleontological material from North and South America, Europe, and Asia, including fragments of the Beresovka mammoth. To the industrial collections were added for- eign trade samples of interest in encouraging foreign commerce, American silks and other textiles, specimens illustrating the use of wood pulp and of American walnut, an exhibit of the sixteenth- century method of type making, and models of steam engines and automobiles. Among notable historical accessions mention should be made of flags and relief maps pertaining to the World War and of a number of priceless relics of early statesmen transferred from the State Department. The collection of old violins, referred to in the preceding report as bequeathed to the Museum under the terms of the will of the late Dwight J. Partello, has been lost to the Museum. It was found to be the property of one of his daughters through a previous bill of sale. REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 23 The National Museum in bringing together collections to illustrate the novel and artistic advance made in the various industries is assembling material invaluable for record and research. The eco- nomic value of the natural history collections has long been appreci- ated, and a similar condition is now being recognized in many branches of the industrial arts. As an accepted authority on many varied subjects the Museum is called upon more and more frequently to supply needed data from its vast storehouse for the purpose of assisting the commercial and industrial interests of the country. In- dustrial workers are helped along many lines, not only by the exhibi- tion collections, the study series, and the publications, but by advice on the particular problem under consideration. The Museum's value to the industrial world as a place of record was well demonstrated during the year, when extensive litigation involving millions of dollars was forestalled, owing to the fact that the Museum was able to show that certain manufactured products had been on exhibition to the public years before the process was patented. The care and preservation of the collections require a large pro- portion of the energies and time of the scientific staff and present many difficulties. The classification of the collections, both by mem- bers of the staff and by the generous assistance of workers elsewhere, calls for much research work, the results of which are published in part by the Museum. The reports of the head curators in the natural-history depart- ments and of the curators in the other branches of the Museum, which follow, give in detail the additions to and the work upon the col- lections during the year. COOPERATIVE EDUCATIONAL WORK. It has been the aim of the Museum since its organization to as- sist students in every way possible, not only those who devote their time to scientific subjects, but also the average student, school chil- dren, and the general public as well. The exhibits are all designed toward this end, and special efforts have been made in recent years to bring the subjects within the comprehension of every one by simplification of the labels, modifying so far as possible the purely scientific terms, and by the introduction of working models, pictures, diagrams, etc. Supplementing the exhibits are study series of objects, which are always at the service of properly accredited students, and the publications of the Museum, which are supplied without charge to institutions and individuals known to be interested in the subjects treated. It has been customary, when the collections justified such action, to furnish free of charge to schools and colleges throughout the country materials needed to illustrate their natural history courses. 24 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. Duplicate specimens are filed away and, when available in sufficient quantity and suitable variety, are put up into labeled sets ready for distribution. Ores and minerals, rocks, materials illustrating rock weathering and soil formation, fossils, mollusks, marine inverte- brates, fishes, and ethnological and archeological objects have mainly been utilized in this way, though other classes of objects have been used to a more limited extent. Special sets are also prepared to meet particular needs. Nor is supposedly waste, material discarded, for trimmings from certain specimens are held and utilized for experi- mental and blowpipe work. Since this system of distribution was adopted, about a million specimens, representing nearly all the sub- jects of the scientific collections, and approximately 15,000 pounds of bulk material suitable for blowpipe and assay analysis have been thus given to educational establishments. The public schools of the District of Columbia have long enjoyed the benefits of this custom, consignments of duplicates having been made to them for many years. The recent frequent applications from teachers in the nature departments of these schools for ma- terial to illustrate their lessons, with particular reference to the weathering of rocks and soil formation, led to the preparation dur- ing the past year of a reference collection comprising 41 varieties of minerals, rocks, and ores useful for teaching purposes. This was placed in a cabinet at the headquarters in the Franklin School Build- ing, so that the needed samples for any particular lesson can be selected by the teacher and readily carried to his own school. Sim- ilar material was likewise furnished to the Wilson Normal School for instruction of the pupils in nature work. In addition, teachers are encouraged to bring to the Museum for identification such nat- ural history specimens as the children bring in to them. Nor is this work confined to the public schools only, for as much, if not more, material was sent during the same time to the private schools and universities of the District. In an effort to have greater advantage taken of the educational facilities afforded by the Museum exhibition halls, arrangements were recently completed with the authorities of the public schools of the District of Columbia whereby, when notified in advance, the Museum furnishes expert guidance by a member of its scientific staff to scholars and teachers visiting the Museum. An increasing num- ber of students has thus been guided through the exhibition halls during the year, not only from the local public schools but also from local universities and private schools and from educational institu- tions as far distant as Alexandria, Va., and Lackawanna County, Pa. In some instances the visits to the Museum were only the be- ginning of further work along the line. For instance, the sixth- grade girl pupils of a number of the Washington public schools REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 25 coming to the Museum in groups accompanied by their sewing teacher, and hearing talks by the curator of textiles on important raw fibers and on spinning and weaving, made these trips the sub- ject of compositions after returning to their classrooms. The members of the staff of the divisions of mineral and mechan- ical technology not only conducted students through their exhibition halls explaining the exhibits, but talked to District high school stu- dents in their classrooms on the Museum's exhibits and activities. The division of mechanical technology has quite a complete series of lantern slides pertaining to its exhibits in transportation, which is being loaned for lecture purposes to individuals known to the Museum. The anthropological collections were particularly attractive to higher students and were visited by several classes from George Washington University and by the instructors of St. John's College. The class in home economics of the former institution also visited the Museum as a part of their regular work and were given lectures on textiles by the curator in charge. An informal lecture on textiles and pure fabrics legislation by this curator before the Sixteenth Street Heights Club was illustrated with specimens from the Mu- seum. The curator of textiles also gave a talk on the work of the Smithsonian Institution to the library staff of the United States De- partment of Agriculture. Through the curator of mollusks, the Museum, assisted by several scientific societies, organized the series of Sattirday morning lectures in the Museum auditorium for the honor pupils of the seventh and eighth grades of the public schools, as mentioned elsewhere in this report. The curator of mollusks delivered two of these talks and also lectured on " American Shipworms " before the American Wood Preservers Association, in Chicago, and on " Wonders of the Deep," at the University of Delaware. Scientific lectures on human evolu- tion were delivered by the curator of physical anthropology before the medical students of Georgetown University in the Museum auditorium. At various times during the year groups of Boy Scouts were con- ducted through the exhibition halls, particularly those devoted to mineral and mechanical technology, ethnology. Old World arche- ology, and mammals, and were given talks on the various subjects portrayed. The value of the Museum to the commercial as well as to the edu- cational interests of the city was again demonstrated this year. A series of lectures on cotton, wool, silk, linen, cloth construction, and ornamentation was given by the curator of textiles at the request of the director of the educational work of Woodward & Lothrop's 26 REPORT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. department store to several groups of their employees handling textiles, who came to the Museum during business hours for the purpose. The educational work is not restricted to the immediate vicinity of the Museum. In accordance with the express purpose of the Smithsonian Institution for the "increase and diffusion of laiowl- edge among men," work was begun several years ago by Mr. Chester G. Gilbert, now honorary curator of mineral technology, and Dr. Joseph E. Pogue, formerly of the Museum staff, with a view to pro- moting a clear understanding of the mineral industries of the United States, especially the fuels. This has been continued by the divi- sion of mineral technology, particularly in cooperation with Mr. Samuel S. Wyer, of Columbus, Ohio, who at that time prepared one of the bulletins of the Museum's series on mineral industries — namely, " Natural gas, its production, service, and conservation." At present the Museum is cooperating with the Pennsylvania State Board of Education in supplying photographs and the essen- tial data of the numerous Museum exhibits pertaining to the mineral industries, which the board of education plans to use in its revised course of geography, to be inaugurated with the beginning of the next school year. A new course devoted to the resources of Pennsyl- vania will be incorporated in the seventh-grade geography class. A true understanding of the natural-gas industry is one of the parts of this course. In this connection a photographic copy of the Museum's model showing the many phases of the natural-gas industry, together with the descriptive data accompanying this model, has been re- quested not only from many sources in the State of Pennsylvania, but from other States where natural gas is used. Similarly, copies of the drawing of the Museum's model of the manufactured-gas in- dustry are being requested from educational institutions, associations, and individuals. The Museum bulletins descriptive of these indus- tries, prepared several years ago (Bulletin 102, parts 1-7, and Bulle- tin 102, vol. 1), were unfortunately completely exliausted very shortly after being issued, and the published data which the Museum is still able to furnish are extremely meager. The Museum assisted in disseminating information as to foods, as well as to fuels. Early in the year the taxidermists of the Museum prepared and mounted for exhibition a series of specially fed rats, the property of the dairy division of the Bureau of Animal Indus- try of the Department of Agriculture. This series proved one of the best educational exhibits ever prepared for teaching the food value of milk. As such it was exhibited by the bureau at State fairs and on milk trains in Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee, Iowa, North Carolina, and Baltimore, Md. REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 27 Incidentally mention should also be made of lectures for use by the Young Men's Christian Association throughout the country and of films for educational moving pictures, prepared within the last few years by members of the scientific staff. VISITORS. The Museum exhibition halls, scattered now in four buildings, were open free to the public as usual on all week days, holidays included, with one exception. All were closed on November 11, 1921, on account of the burial of America's Unknown Soldier. The Natural History Building was open on Sundays from 1.30 to 4.30 p. m., and the Smithsonian Building on the Sundays in April during the same hours. The number of visitors to the Natural History Building during the year reached 357,321 for week days and 84,283 for Sundays, At the Arts and Industries Building and the Aircraft Building, week days only, the attendance was 262,151 and 46,380, respectively. At the Smithsonian Building it was 82,560 on week days and 824 on the five Sunday afternoons. The slight falling off of visitors to all the buildings, as compared with the preceding year, was due in part to the fact that 1920-21 was inaugural year and in part to the present disturbed economic condition of the country, since the Museum attendance quickly reflects the number of sight-seeing parties in the capital city. The following tables show, respectively, the visitors for each month of the year, and for each year since 1881, when the building now devoted to arts and industries was first occupied.

PUBLICATIONS. The publications of the year comprised 9 volumes and 78 separate papers. The former consisted of the Annual Report of the Museum for 1921 ; volumes 57, 58, and 59 of the Proceedings ; and the follow- ing bulletins, namely : No. 100, volume 4, " Contributions to the biology of the Philippine Archipelago and adjacent regions — Fora- minifera of the Philippine and adjacent seas," by Joseph A. Cush- man ; No. 113, " Life histories of North American gulls and terns — Order Longipennes," by Arthur Cleveland Bent; No. 114, "A re- vision of the king snakes: Genus Lampropeltis," by Frank N. Blanchard; No. 118, "Handbook and descriptive catalogue of the collections of gems and precious stones in the United States National Museum," by George P. Merrill, assisted by Margaret W. Moodey and Edgar T. Wherry; and No. 119, " Catalogue of the mechanical engineering collection in the United States National Museum — Mo- tors, locomotives, and self-propelled vehicles," by Carl W. Mitman. The 78 papers issued separately for prompt distribution to special- ists were: Part 2 of volume 1 of Bulletin 82; part 3 of Bulletin 104; two parts of volume 20, one part of volume 22, and one part of vol- ume 24, Contributions from the United States National Herbarium ; 25 papers from volume 59, 26 papers from volume 60, and 21 papers from volume 61, Proceedings of the United States National Museum. The editorial office, in addition to supervising the printing of the Museum publications, has charge of the printing of the many labels REPORT OF NATIONAL. MUSEUM, 1922. 29 and the miscellaneous printing and binding. Many contributions based on material in the collections of the Museum are printed by other bureaus of the Government and by outside sources. All of the publications above referred to are cited in the list of publica- tions at the back of this report. The distribution of volumes and separates to libraries and in- dividuals on the regular mailing lists aggregated 83,566 copies, be- sides 14,240 copies supplied in response to special application. This by no means indicates the number of Museum publications put in circulation during the year, for one of its papers, on the mosquitoes of the country, proved so valuable that the War and Navy Depart- ments arranged through the Superintendent of Documents for fur- ther liberal distributions of the paper, and the Bureau of Public Health reprinted it in a large edition. LIBRARY, A most essential unit in the pursuit of the scientific work of the Museum is its library. At the close of the year this collection of books comprised 60,681 volumes and 95,594 pamphlets, a total of 156,275 titles. The increments of the year were 2,023 volumes and 4,185 pamphlets, received mainly through gifts and exchanges. Aside from gifts from scientific and other institutions and societies, much valuable material was donated by members of the staff of the Museum as in preceding years. The number of books loaned by the library was 11,106, and as many more were consulted without being taken from the buildings. Funds for the purchase of books and for binding and renovating books were exceedingly limited. It was necessary to confine ac- quisitions to continuations of series previously begun and publica- tions needed for immediate use in connection with the work of the Museum. The number of books that can be bound in any one year is continually diminishing. This year but 398 books were bound — less than a quarter the number bound five years ago. Typewritten lists of original articles appearing in scientific peri- odicals reaching the Institution for the Smithsonian deposit at the Library of Congress have since November been circulated daily among the head curators of the Museum for their information and for dissemination among the staff generally. So popular are these lists that there is a demand from other Government departments and research organizations for copies which the Museum is unable to supply owing to lack of mechanical equipment and assistants. It is regretted that the library is not able to avail itself of this oppor- tunity for rendering more extensive service in the field of scientific bibliography. 30 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. PHOTOGRAPHIC LABORATORY. In illustrating Museum objects for reproduction in publications and for record purposes and in copying plans, diagrams, etc., re- quired in connection with the work of the Museum, there were made in the photographic laboratory during the year 1,621 negatives, 9,617 black and Avhite prints, 171 cirkut prints, 96 bromide prints, 48 blue prints, 60 fifteen-inch panorams, 238 lantern slides, 24 transparencies, besides developing 914 field negatives and mounting 71 bromides. The increasing demand for lantern slides will require the fitting of a special dark room for that work. MEETINGS, CONGRESSES, AND RECEPTIONS. With limited finances the Museum is unable to inaugurate regular lecture courses, but all governmental agencies and all scientific and educational societies have the free use of its auditorium and the adjacent council rooms for congresses, lectures, and the like. Dur- ing the year about 150 meetings were held, the lectures and discus- sions covering a wide range of subjects. In response to the desire in a simple but dignified manner to acknowledge the debt of our country to the poet, the sixth cen- tenary of the death of Dante Alighieri was observed by a meeting in the Museum auditorium on October 3, 1921, presided over by Hon. Charles E, Hughes, Secretary of State. President Harding, being unable to attend, sent a letter which was read. Addresses on the significance of the great Florentine were delivered by Signor Guido Sabetta, counselor of the Italian Embassy, and by Prof. Charles H. Grandgent, of Harvard University. Other governmental activities in the auditorium or council rooms included, under the auspices of the Minister of Cuba, an address on that country by Signor Cayetano Quesada, with motion pictures, before diplomatic representatives of Central and South America; under the Department of Agriculture, two sessions of the important National Agricultural Conference called by the President of the United States, a two-day plant quarantine conference arranged by the Federal Horticultural Board, a three-day conference between the United States Forest Service and State forestry officals, three meetings of the employees of the Forest Service, four lectures on economics arranged by the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates, and a gathering of the scientific staff of the whole department; under the United States War Department, the graduation exer- cises of the United States Army Medical School for the year 1921-22 ; under the United States Treasury Department, Public Health Serv- ice, two meetings of the Women's Social Hygiene Council and two other gatherings to view motion pictures; under the United States REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 31 Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board, two motion-picture dis- plays; under the Federal Power Commission, a meeting on water power ; and under the American Eelief Administration, the National Eesearch Council, and the Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor, a lecture by Dr. Clemens Pirquet, of Vienna, on standards of child nutrition as developed by the American Relief Administra- tion in Austria. A collection of the resolutions of thanks, maps, diagrams, etc., connected with this relief work was exhibited in Rooms 44, 45, and 46 from January 21 to 31, 1922. The National Academy of Sciences, as usual, held its annual meet- ing in the Natural History Building, April 24 to 26, 1922, using the auditorium for the scientific sessions, open to the public, and the committee rooms for its business sessions. On the first evening, under the joint auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and the academy. Dr. H. A. Lorentz, of Leiden, lectured on Problems of Modern Physics. This was followed by a reception to Doctor and Mrs. Lorentz in the rotunda and the north and the west halls, first story, which were illuminated and open for inspection. Another feature of the academy meeting of unusual interest was the demon- stration, at one of the public sessions, of the loud-speaking telephone, installed on the platform through the courtesy of Dr. F. B. Jewett, of the Western Electric Co. The American Chemical Society, through the Chemical Society of Washington, arranged a lecture on October 25, 1921, by Dr. E. F. Smith, of the University of Pennsylvania, on early chemistry, with the presentation to the National Museum of a portrait of Joseph Priestley, the discoverer of oxygen, being a copy by Albert Rosen- thal of the original by Gilbert Stuart. The Archaeological Society of Washington, affiliated with the Archaeological Institute of America, was responsible February 18, 1922, for an illustrated lecture on the " Sculpture of Japan," by Dr. Hamilton Bell, curator of the John G. Johnson collection of Phila- delphia. This was followed by an informal reception in the public exhibition halls, with a special view of the collection of Chihuahua pottery lent to the Museum by the society, the hostesses being Mrs. Robert Lansing, Miss Mabel Boardman, Mrs. Charles Henry Butler, Mrs. Charles D. Walcott, Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, and Mrs. B. H. Warder. The National Association of Postmasters of the United States held its twenty-first annual convention in the auditorium October 11 to 13, 1921; the Liberty Calendar Association of America its conven- tion February 7 and 8, 1922; the American Surgical Association its convention. May 1 to 3; and the American Federation of Arts two sessions of its annual May convention, the subject of these sessions being " Industrial art." The National Association of Office Manag- 32 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. ers and the International Association for Identification also held one session each in the Museum auditorium during their conventions in Washington this year, the meeting of the latter including motion pictures showing the universal methods of finger printing and of the United States Navy in action. Other scientific organizations gathering in the Museum included the Anthropological Society of Washington for its annual series of free public meetings, this year 10 in number; the Entomological Society of Washington for its regular monthly meetings from Oc- tober, 1921, to June, 1922; the Federal Photographic Society of Washington for six meetings ; the Wild Flower Preservation Society of America for five Thursday evening lectures; the Audubon So- ciety of the District of Columbia for four meetings; the organizing committee of the Nineteenth International Congress of Americanists for a meeting preliminary to the twentieth congress; the Washing- ton Academy of Sciences, the Philosophical Society, and the Chemi- cal Society of Washington for a joint meeting addressed by Dr. F. W. Aston, of Cambridge, England, on " Electric rays and photo- graphing atoms of mineral." Another joint meeting brought to- gether members of the Audubon Society of the District of Colum- bia, the Biological Society of Washington, and the Wild Flower Preservation Society of America for an address by Prof. Arthur C. Pillsbury, with motion pictures, some colored, of wild flowers and birds in the Yosemite Park and the Sierras. Inclement weather on November 14, 1921, necessitated the transfer to the Museum auditorium of the exercises in connection with the laying of the corner stone for the Victory Memorial Building or, as it is better known, the George Washington Memorial Building. The ceremonies were presided over by the Hon. John W. Weeks, Secre- tary of War, and consisted of an invocation by Right Rev, Alfred Harding, Bishop of Washington; addresses by President Harding, General Pershing, and Admiral Coontz, and benediction by Mon- signor C. F. Thomas, of St. Patrick's Church ; the audience adjourn- ing then to the site of the building at Sixth and B streets NW., where the corner stone was laid. Georgetown University had the auditorium for a series of 15 public lectures on international finance arranged by its School of Foreign Service. The topics and speakers were as follows : October 14, " The histor}'^ of international finance," by Dr. Jacob H. Hol- lander; October 21, "The organization of international finance," by Dr. William F. Notz ; October 28, " Private credit in the United States to-day," by Hon. Oscar T. Crosby ; November 4, " The public credit of the United States to-day," by Dr. Ernest L. Bogart; November 18, " The public and the private credit of the nations of western Europe," REPORT OF NATIONAL, MUSEUM, 1922. 33 by Col. Alan G. Goldsmith; December 2, " Russia and international finance," by Baron Serge KorfF; December 16, "International econ- omy," by Prof. A. E. Zimmern ; Januaiy 6, " Public and private financial problems of the Far East," by Dr. Stanley K. Hornbeck; January 13, " Public and private credit in Latin America," by Dr. Julius Klein; January 20, "The exchange and depreciated curren- cies," by Hon. Adolph C. Miller ; February 17 and 24, " International competition and our position as a creditor nation " and " Foreign investment and public policy," respectively, by Dr. W. S. Culbertson ; March 3, " Shipping in its relation to international finance," by Dr. Emory K. Johnson ; and March 31 and May 5, " Reparations and dis- armament: Economic factors" and "Reparations and disarmament: Political factors," respectively, by Dr. James Brown Scott. The School of Medicine, of the same university, here had a lecture on variations of the human body, by Dr. A. Hrdlicka, and on another occasion the same lecturer spoke at the request of the American University, his subject being skeletons. In its effort to raise the standard of the theater by educating the public in understanding and supporting Shakespearian productions, the Shakespeare Society of Washington used the auditorium on five evenings for Shakespearian dramatic and lecture recitals. Furthering the work of the public schools of the district, the Museum, through the cooperation of the Wild Flower Preservation Society of America, the Audubon Society of the District of Colum- bia, and the American Forestry Association, arranged six Saturday morning lectures to which the honor pupils of the A and B sections of the seventh and eighth grades in the white public schools of the District of Columbia received a card, these children reporting back to their respective classes on topics discussed, as follows: March 25, " Bird homes about Washington," by Dr. Paul Bartsch ; April 1, " Spring flowers," by Mr. P. L. Ricker ; April 8, " Our water birds," by Dr. H. C. Oberholser; April 15, "Wild flower gardens for chil- dren," by Dr. Edgar T. Wherry ; April 29, " Bird baths, boxes, and feeding tables," by Doctor Bartsch ; and May 6, " The story of seeds," by Miss Mary Breen. Incidental to the talk of April 29, an exhibition of bird houses made by the pupils of the public schools was arranged. Thirty blue ribbons were awarded by the American Forestry Association. The large number of entries (between 500 and 600) would seem a good indication of growing interest among school children in the welfare of the birds. In connection with its American citizenship program, the General Federation of Women's Clubs showed the motion picture " The effect of alcohol on man and beast." Other patriotic and miscellaneous meetings included an educational rally of the Women's Committee 17075—22 3 34 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. of the Federation of Citizens' Associations at tlie close of their mem- bership campaign ; the annual meeting of the Potomac Garden Chib ; one of the monthly meetings of the Organization of Appointment Clerks; a meeting of the Baird Memorial Committee, to make pre- liminary arrangements for a memorial to Spencer Fullerton Baird ; a meeting of the George Washington Post, No. 1, American Legion; a motion-picture exhibition, " The spirit of '76," before the Matrons and Patrons Association of 1922, Order of the Eastern Star ; motion pictures of the tests, at Hammondsport, N. Y., of the Langley flying machine; the four quarterly meetings of the Smithsonian branch of the Federal Employees Union No. 2 ; the annual meetings of the Smithsonian auxiliary of the District of Columbia Chapter of the American Red Cross and of the Smithsonian Relief Association ; and a gathering of the employees of the Smithsonian Institution and all its branches for a talk by Secretary Walcott. The Associated Tile Manufacturers utilized rooms on the west side of the foyer for an exhil)ition of American-made tiles from May 16 to June 20, 1922, in connection with meetings held elsewhere in Washington. This exhibition was assembled by the factories at the suggestion of the Washington Chapter of the American Institute of Architects to show the result of 44 years' development of an Ameri- can industry. The Centennial Exhibition of 1876 furnished the in- centive, and the first tile factory Avas started soon afterwards. All refinements of tile making have been acquired since and the processes so perfected that to-day the United States leads the world in the tile industry. On the evening of November 23, 1921, the exhibition halls in the Natural History Building were thrown open for a reception by the city of Washington, through the District Commissioners and a com- mittee of citizens, to the delegates of the international Conference on the Limitation of Armament, probably the largest and the most successful affair of its Idnd ever held in the Museum. About 5,000 persons, representing the official, social, and business life of Wash- ington, showed respect to the delegates of that conference. Another function, which brought to the Museum representatives of the diplomatic corps of several of the European powers, was the formal presentation to the American Nation, on the afternoon of March 1, of the Herbert Ward collection of sculptures and African ethnology, the gift of his widow in compliance with his expressed wish. An improvised platform placed in the corner of the east- north range, where the Ward collection is installed, served as the center for the ceremony. Here, surrounded by the works of her gifted husband and his unrivaled collection illustrating the handi- crafts of the native African, the presentation was made by Mrs. Her- REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 35 bert Ward, and the donation was accepted by Vice President Calvin Coolidge, as Chancellor of the Smithsonian. Second International Congress of Eugenics. — On the occasion of this congress, which met in New York City from September 22 to 28, 1921, an exhibit of eugenics and anthropology was brought together for display from September 22 to October 22, 1921, in the American Museum of Natural History. By invitation, the United States National Museum, through Dr. A. Hrdlicka, curator of physical anthropology, prepared and sent a special exhibit illustrating "Human variation, inheritance, acquired characteristics, evolution of parts, and reversions," which filled 11 large cases and attracted very favorable attention. Doctor Hrdlicka was a member of the general com.mittee of the congress and also one of the speakers. ORGANIZATION AND STAFF. The organization of the Museum as reported a year ago has under- gone but slight change. The Loeb collection of chemical types has been established as an independent entity of the department of arts and industries, under the charge of Mr, F. L. Lewton. The changes in the scientific staff during the year were likewise not numerous. Mr. Paul M. Frank was appointed assistant curator in the division of mineral technology on November 16, 1921; Mr. Charles Carey, aid in the division of history, on July 13, 1921; Mrs. Catherine L. Manning, philatelist in the same division, on January 3, 1922; Mr. Matthew W. Stirling, aid in the division of ethnology, on September 15, 1921; Mr. Paul S. W. Conger, aid in the division of marine invertebrates, on December 1, 1921; Mr. Ralph C. Smith, aid in the division of graphic arts, on December 5, 1921; and Mr. Paul C. Van Natta, aid in the division of physical anthropology, on December 16, 1921. Mr. Chester G. Gilbert's title in the division of mineral technology was changed from associate curator to that of honorary curator. Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales, who had been serving as custodian of the section of birds' eggs, was appointed honorary assistant curator in the division of birds. On February 23, 1922, Dr. F. W. Pennell was designated collaborator in the division of plants for the re- mainder of the calendar year, and on June 12, 1922, Mr. Robert Sterling Clark was made collaborator in zoology for one year. Mr. Neil M. Judd, curator of American archeolog}-^, was absent on fur- lough from July 1 to September 24, 1921, and from May 1, 1922, to the end of the fiscal year, in connection with explorations for the National Geogi^aphic Society; and Mr. W. F. Foshag, assistant curator in the division of mineralogy and petrology, was granted furlough from September 1, 1921, to July 15, 1922. Mr. John J, 36 KEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922 Desmond was separated from the service of the Musemii as lieutenant of the watch on March 23, 1922, under the civil service retirement act. President Harding authorized the Bureau of Efficiency, on October 24, 1921, to prescribe for all Government departments a uniform S3'stem of efficiency ratings of emploj'^ees and directed the heads of the departments to put the system into effect. Ratings were first to be established for employees engaged in clerical or routine work, such as clerks, stenographers, bookkeepers, messengers, and skilled laborers, and afterwards to be extended to employees engaged in pro- fessional, scientific, technical, administrative, or executive work, or any other work involving for the most part original or constructive effort. The system was inaugurated by a survey of all the positions existing in the Museum on November 15, 1921, carefully prepared and submitted to the Bureau of Efficienc}^ An initial report on the efficiency of each Museum employee was made, dating May 15, 1922, and similar reports are to be submitted every six months here- after. By act of Congress approved June 17, 1922, the provisions of the retirement act of May 22, 1920, were extended to charwomen, laborers, and other employees on a regular annual basis, both classified and unclassified, with basic salary less than $600 per annum. By Execu- tive order of June 7, 1922, President Harding also covered within this retirement act, effective September 1, 1922, all unclassified em- ployees receiving $600 or more a year. The Museum staff lost during the year, by death, Mr. Joseph B. Leavy, philatelist; Mr. Thomas F. Haney, preparator; Mr. A. L. Fant, lieutenant of the watch. Mr. Joseph B. Leavy, in charge of the collection of postage stamps in the Museum from 1913, died in Georgetown University Hospital, on July 25, 1921, after a lingering illness. Mr. Leavy, who was born March 7, 1872, was educated at Columbia University, and during his undergraduate years was much interested in athletics, especially rowing. After leaving college he entered into business, in which he continued for several years. He served in the United States Army during the Spanish- American War. As a boy he devoted his time to the collection of postage stamps and be- came an acknowledged authority on philately. When it became nec- essary to put the collection of the United States National Museum in proper order, he was called to undertake that work with the title of philatelist. To him credit must be given for the very satisfactory installation of the Government collection, which includes specimens of all new issues sent to the Post Office Department from various foreign Grovernments. REPORT OJ- NATIONAL MUSEUM, 19i'2. 37 Mr. Leavy was frequently called upon to act as expert in matters pertaining to his specialty, and he was a frequent contributor to philatelic journals, including a notable paper on the stamps of Belgium. He was also author of a " Catalogue of the postage stamps and stamped envelopes of the United States and possessions issued prior to January 1, 1919," which was published as a bulletin of the Museum (1919). Mr. Thomas F. Haney, preparator in the division of mineral technology, died suddenly at his home in Washington on October 8, 1921, at the age of 61 years. Mr. Haney 's association with the Museum dates from January, 1899, though he had rendered occa- sional service as early as 1893. When an active beginning was made of the division of mineral technology, in 1913, Mr. Haney was at- tached to the division as preparator. Had it not been for Mr. Haney's skill, patience, and care, it is doubtful whether the excellent series of industrial models which the division has constructed would have been possible. His death robbed the division of one of its most valuable assets and the staff of a good friend and associate. Mrs. Julian-James, a long-time friend and for many years an active patroness of the Museum, died in Washington, D. C, on April 11, 1922. Mrs. James's interest in the Museum began 16 years ago in connection with the division of history, to which she then contributed an important collection of family relics. Coincident with the assem- bling of art textiles sponsored by Mrs. James W. Pinchot in 1908, Mrs. James suggested the formation of a collection illustrating the costumes of different periods, as exemplified by dresses worn by the wives of the Presidents of the United States. This attractive plan was conscientiously carried out by Mrs. James, assisted by Mrs. Eose Gouveneur Hoes, and at her death the collection was nearly complete, forming one of the exhibits most interesting to the public. Mrs. James had inherited much valuable material brought from various parts of the world. Portions of this from time to time she sent to the Museum, and at her death it was found that she had perpetuated her good offices by bequeathing to the Museum all the specimens which had been heretofore deposited as loans. Members of the Museum staff associated with Mrs. James all bear witness to her energy and enthusiasm. In her long association with the Museum she never failed to help the work in every way possible. She was an exceptional friend and her loss is deeply felt. REPORTS ON THE COLLECTIONS. KEPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY. By Walter Hough, Acting Head Curator. INTRODUCTION. The department of anthropologj'^ closed a prosperous year in the acquisition of specimens. The customary and special work was carried on w^ith vigor and efficiency on account of the somewhat in- creased personnel, which permitted a more equitable assignment of duties. The widening scope of anthropology, remarked as an outstanding feature of the present progress of science, was reflected in the work of the several divisions of the department. This was also shown by the nature of the inquiries which came in great num- bers from persons wishing information on various subjects. More and more inquiries were made with the view of securing information of a practical nature, as for use in advertising or for other business interests. Informational advertisements are more likely to be read and appreciated by the public. Other inquiries related to special needs or to requests for literature on special lines. In these ways the department found itself carrying on a line of university ex- tension of proved usefulness in a wide field. These features are not cited as novel instances of the work of the Museum, for the Museum is generally recognized as a public institution eager to help in all good causes despite its somewhat limited facilities, but to show its increasing value to the public. This aspect is often lost sight of or not fully appreciated. Anyone who knows the varied, im- portant, and unadvertised work of the Museum will be keen for its support as an indispensable element in the social organization of an enlightened society. It must be said that a museum which is expected and even re- quired to grow normally must not only utilize all its energies in building all the branches constituting a museum, but must be sup- plied with means to carry on the work. There must be a constant supply of funds which will take care of the growth of an active living museum. ACCESSIONS DESERATNG SPECIAL NOTICE. The accessions for the most part represent the introduction of a high class of material to the Museum series and some are of the 39 40 ilEl^ORT OF NATIOiSTAL MUSEUM, 1922. greatest importance. Pursuing the policy of encouraging gifts and receiving few loans, the work has been simplified and the installation and collections established on a firm basis. Thus in ethnology over 90 per cent of the accessions were gifts, distributed geographically to North, Middle, and South America, 24; Asia, 8; Africa, 7; East India, 2; South Seas, 3; and Europe, 2. Evidently the need for original exploration was never so great, and this is the experience of museums generally. Announcement was made in the former report of the gift to the National Museum of the Herbert Ward African collection by Mrs. Herbert AVard, carrying out the intentions of her late husband. The collection, received from Paris, was installed in the east north hall of the division of ethnology with the advice and assistance of Mrs. Ward. On the completion of the installment a formal recep- tion was held to signalize the transfer of the collection to the people of the United States. The meeting was presided over by the Vice President of the United States, who said that " this collection is one of the most important ever received by the Smithsonian Institution." Mrs. Ward made an address giving the history of the collection and throwing interesting light on the life work of Herbert Ward as an explorer in Africa with Stanley, as a sculptor, and as a soldier in the World War. The collection numbers 2,714 specimens, including 9 major and 11 minor sculptures in bronze. It is an ethnologic unit illustrating the life of Kongo natives at a period when they were not affected by out- side influences. Toward this work, in which Mr. Ward epitomized the state of primitive man, he devoted intensely the best years of his life. This work terminated on the opening of the World War, in which Mr. Ward gave his life in the service of the Allies. This unique collection consists of a large series of objects of native handicraft in metal, wood, ivory, horn, and textile, together with natural history specimens. It may be described as an assemblage of African arts illustrated with sculptures depicting the outstanding phases of native life. No other collection of ethnology is illustrated with works of such high artistic merit. In his sculptures Mr. Ward has caught the spirit of the native African and fixed it in bronze. Arranged chronologically, these are as follows: Aruimi Man; A Bakongo Girl; Mask of Negro Girl and Mask of Negro Man; The Charm Doctor ; Sleeping Africa ; The Fugitives ; A Kongo Boy ; The Forest Lovers; The Wood Carrier; The Idol Maker; Crouching Woman; Fragment — another study of the Crouching Woman; The Chief of the Tribe; Defiance; A Kongo Artist; The Fire Maker; Distress; and The Head of a Gorilla. Accompanying them is a bronze bust representing Mr. Ward at the age of 27, in the rough REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 41 field costume of the African explorer, the work of Sir William Goscombe John. On the side of primitive metallurgy practiced in Africa, the col- lection contains a wonderful series of objects proclaiming the African skill in arts and crafts. Assagais, throwing knives, swords, daggers, and other metal objects not only are remarkable examples of aptitude in working iron, copper, and brass, but show a high appreciation of esthetic form and decoration, considered of course with regard to the grade of culture represented by the natives. Some of these works would be regarded as worthy of favorable re- mark if assigned to any stage of culture. Wood carvings in the AVard collection also present interesting phases of aboriginal art, especially in the representation of the human form and in decora- tive design. Ivory also, that beautiful and enduring material, is worked into war trumpets, pestles, bark beaters, ornaments, and fetiches of anthropomorphic and animal forms. While textiles are of limited use in the environment of the tropical Kongo and textile materials here are few and coarse, the specimens shown in the Ward collection indicate the fertile ingenuity of the natives. In this class are baskets, shields, mats, cloth headdresses, etc., appropriately ornamented by texture designs and dyes. Chief among the natural history collection are a huge elephant head, the skeleton of a gorilla, a python, and other animals of the environment. Mr. AVard carried out the African art in the designing and ornamenting of the bases of his sculptures. The whole collection forms a harmonious museum unit and is appropriatel}' installed, both as to setting and arrangement, for which the taste of Mrs. Ward is largely responsible. It is not too much to say that the installation of the Ward collec- tion represents a high standard of museum achievement. A large addition to the Eskimo material was seen in the transfer from the Bureau of American Ethnology of the Rev. Sheldon Jack- son Alaskan collection, purchased from his daughters, the Misses Jackson. The collection consists of baskets, ivory implements and carvings, needlework, costume, games, etc., numbering 692 speci- mens, in great part from the Eskimo, with some specimens from the Aleuts and Indians. Doctor Jackson, during his long service in Alaska, had unusual facilities for collecting select objects of native arts and industries, and for this reason the material is ac- ceptable to increase the national collections. Ten imperial Chinese robes of silk were presented by Maj. Murray Warner, through his widow, Mrs. Gertrude Bass Warner, of Eugene, Oreg. Products of the royal looms, they are regarded as among the finest examples of the textile art. The decoration in- 42 ■ UEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. eludes the symbolic designs of happiness, long life, good fortune, etc., as elements of the wonderful geometric patterns forming the ground- work. Some of the dresses are for summer, and are worked with silver and gold threads in an open fabric. The Government of Burma, through the lieutenant governor, sent to the Museum a set of 38 gramophone records of the different dia- lects spoken in that country, prepared in order to preserve informa- tion as to the language. The set is one of a few made to be given to the principal countries. This anthropological work is much to be commended. From the National Museum at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was re- ceived, as an exchange, a collection numbering 35 specimens of arms, costume, ornaments, a hafted stone ax, etc., from the Nambikuara Indians of the Matto Grosso, a tribe only recently investigated by Brazilian scientists. This acceptable collection was brought to the United States by Miss Bertha Lutz, secretary of the National Mu- seum of Brazil. A collection of bows, arrows, bark-cloth costumes, jewelry, boat models, weaving tools, and other objects from the Rio Beni tribes in Bolivia, called Gorai, Mositana, Yuricari, and others, was received as a gift from the Mulford Biological Exploration of the Amazon Basin. These specimens are new to the Museum. Through the courtesy of Arthur R. Fergusson, the curator of ethnology was permitted to make a selection from the large collec- tion of his father, Arthur W. Fergusson, former secretary of the Philippine Commission. The material consists of unusual bolos and kampilans from Cebu and Samar, bident obsidian spears and breast- plate of boar's tusks from Bismarck Archipelago and New Guinea, respectively. This collection is a gift. The division of American archeology made gratifying progress in bringing its vast collection into a comprehensive unity by a system of indexes which will allow the location of any object to be known in a very short time. Of especial attractiveness and scientific in- terest is a collection of 500 decorated pottery, stone implements, and beads from ancient habitations in the Casas Grandes district, Mexico, lent by the Archaelogical Society of Washington, No group of ancient ceramics in the Museum shows such bright colors, striking designs, and fine finish as this collection. Other noteworthy accessions were a green jade club from New Zealand, received in exchange from L, C. G. Clarke; 352 specimens from Florida, consisting principally of finely worked shell and coral rock, collected by Charles T. Earle and transferred to the National Museum by the Bureau of American Ethnology ; an engraved mono- lithic stone ax from Georgia, by purchase ; an unusually fine banner REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 43 stone from Florida, gift of A. C. Schenck, O. E. Offett, and H. M. Alexander; a chunkey stone of superior workmanship from Ken- tucky, transferred from the Bureau of American Ethnology; a carving in catlinite of a buffalo, found in Pennsylvania about 1850, gift of Miss Mary H. Bayly; and 110 stone implements and pot- sherds from the Susquehanna River, Pa., collected and presented by John L. Baer, who also gave 93 white quartz blades forming part of a cache uncovered in Pennsylvania some years ago. The most valuable and interesting specimens received in the divi- sion of Old World archeology were the ornate statue of Buddha of gilt bronze from the Imperial Palace of Peking, gift of Maj. Murray Warner through his widow, Mrs. Gertrude Bass Warner; and a large wooden statue of Buddha and a Naga shrine from Burma, gift of William Lilly. Mention should also be made, on account of their uniqueness, of two oil paintings of Siberian shamans in their func- tional outfit, which were secured in an exchange. The accessions in physical anthropology, from a scientific stand- point, were important. They included six skeletons and skulls from New Mexico, collected by Neil M. Judd, gift of the National Geographic Society; five skeletons and skulls, collected by F. W. Hodge in New Mexico, gift of the Museum of the American Indian (Heye Foundation), New York City; 24 skulls and incomplete skele- tons of Indians from mounds in South Dakota, collected by AV. E, Myer, transferred from the Bureau of American Ethnology; 10 skulls and also jaws, gift of Calvin S. Brown; 2 Cherokee skulls obtained by the curator through friends at Bristol, Tenn., on a trip to visit bone caves in that region ; and a remarkable specimen con- sisting of an artistic wreath made of the hair of no less than 216 members of one of the old American families, gift of H. E. Howe. The collection of musical instruments received noteworthy ex- amples of pianos from Hugo Worch, custodian. These specimens were all prepared for installation and placed on exhibit. Especially interesting is a gilt double-bank harpsichord, by Pleyel, of Paris. Mr. Worch's other gifts consisted of a German square piano with overstrung scale, a square piano made by John Seller, Alexandria, Va., in 1810, and an upright piano, of the same date, made by Robert Wornum, London, containing his patent action. EXPLORATIONS AND EXPEDITIONS. As in former years, this department was much indebted to the Bureau of American Ethnology for the addition of choice objects of material culture. The bureau is really in a position to be the prin- cipal and frequent contributor to the anthropological collections, as field work is carried on among the Indians constantly. This source has dwindled through the lack of funds to enable the field workers 44 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. to secure objects of material culture. It is self-evident that speci- mens illustrating the arts and industries of the aborigines are the most valuable evidences of their former conditions and history. To neglect this phase is subversive to science. In close touch with the department was the exploration of the ancient pueblo, called Bonito, in the Chaco Canyon, N. Mex., by the National Geographic Society, under the direction of Neil M. Judd, curator of American archeology. The first year's work, to a large extent preliminary, will add to the Museum a considerable col- lection. There were received specimens from the several explora- tions made possible through the generosity of Dr. W. L. Abbott in Haiti and Australia. The Mulford Biological Exploration of the Amazon Basin brought to the department an acceptable South Amer- ican Indian collection. These specimens, collected by Dr. W, M. Mann, emphasize the fact that the department is very poor in South Ameri- can material and that here lies a field urgently calling to be worked. The expedition of the Museum of the American Indian (Heye Foundation) to New Mexico, under the charge of F. W. Hodge, furnished valuable skeletal material. This expedition has furnished specimens to the division from the same region for several years past. WOKK OF rUESERVING AND INSTALLING THE COLLECTIONS PRESENT CONDITION OV COLLECTIONS. By constant and careful experiment the curators are seeking to perfect museum methods. The preservation of specimens is an ex- acting study and requires a large proportion of the energies of the staff. Since articles of an amazing variety are to be handled, their treatment presents an endless succession of problems. For instance, the problem of rust could occupy the whole time of one man. Prog- ress is seen in these lines, and the end of the year finds the collec- tions in better order than ever before. Not only was sufficient work done to keep the collections in a state as previously, but the curators strove to improve the exhibits in every way possible. To this effect in ethnology the exhibit of the Herbert Ward collection was made to coincide with the recasting of the African collection generally. Also in ethnology minor in- stallations were made. Labeling is a necessary and important fea- ture and was continued, and at present nearly every individual speci- men in the collection bears a card of explanation. Two noteworthy collections were newly installed in the halls of American archeology — a large series of ancient Casas Grande ware, presented by the Archaeological Society of Washington, and a series of prehistoric pottery from ruins in the Mimbres Valley, N. Mex., transferred some years ago by the Bureau of American Etli- BEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 45 nology. Changes in the public exhibits were necessarily made to ad- mit of the proper installation of these new g:i'oiips ; lesser changes were also made as our efforts to improve exhibits progressed. A consider- able number of broken pottery vessels were cleaned, repaired, and re- numbered as opportunity offered. During the curator's absence in the field satisfactory progress was made in the consolidation of secondary collections from various States. This imperative work is now about half completed ; it is hoped that the remaining collections may receive attention during the present summer. In addition, much time was devoted to the division records, and this very tedious, though im- portant task, after having commanded a large part of our activities during the past 10 years, promises soon to be completed. The con- dition of the collections remains unchanged since the last annual report was submitted, excepting for such cleaning and repairing as that previously noted. The principal need of the exhibition halls is that of general and individual labels, and present plans, if real- ized, should find these largely in place two years hence. An inter- esting collection of bannerstones, showing all degrees of working and valuable as a study of aboriginal stone technology, was put on view. In the division of Old World archeology the collection illustrative of Buddhism was rearranged and labeled. The assistant curator is preparing a handbook on the prehistoric and historic antiquities of the collection. In physical anthropology the collections were kept in as serviceable condition as crowding permits ; however, until more drawers, exhibi- tion cases, and especially storage space, are supplied, full justice can not be given to the splendid material in the collection. With the rapidly growing collection there follows the need of greater pro- vision for the proper handling, study, and access to the specimens. In the art textile hall installation was made of a noteworthy col- lection of varieties of fine European lace and the the type case of laces was refitted and reinstalled. The ceramic collection was kept in good order and improved by changes in the installation. A case containing typical examples of American art pottery was supplied for the exhibit of the National Gallery of Art. Considerable interest was displayed in the collection of ceramics by visitors. It is regretted that the collection is so poor in many lines. Among the contributions of the department to other divisions dur- ing the year was the preparation and installation of the Monroe and Jackson dresses for the collection of period costumes. The most valuable adjunct of the department of anthropology is the Jaboratorj. Its services are in constant demand by the divisions 46 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. and by other departments. All the working time was occupied in the varied work of modeling, making molds, casting, bronzing, paint- ing, gilding, and making repairs and restorations requiring the best skill. RESEARCH WORK. Research is sometimes stimulated by inquiries of correspondents. In ethnology various business interests made requests for informa- tion needed in advertising. These inquiries were covered by M. W. Stirling, aid, and the studies are of value for more extended re- search. The curator of ethnology published in the Proceedings a description of the synoptic series of objects in the United States National Museum illustrating the history of inventions and in the Smithsonian Report for 1920 an article on the racial groups and figures in the Natural History Building. As opportunity oifered, he continued his investigations on specimens connected with the early history of heating and illumination for a monograph of the subject. The curator of American archeology, Neil M. Judd, added to the data required for a report on the collections gathered by him for the Bureau of American Ethnology in Utah and Arizona during 1915-1920 and published in the National Geographic Magazine for March, 1922, an article on the Pueblo Bonito Expedition of the Na- tional Geographic Society. In Old World archeology the study of the Parsee, or Zoroastrian, religious tenets and practices was completed, by the assistant curator, Dr. I. M. Casanowicz, and published in the Proceedings, and a study of the archeological collections taken up for the preparation of a catalogue handbook for use of the public. Active research was continued on various subjects in physical anthropology and attention was given to numerous students desirous of special information. A study of exostoses in the ears of the Peruvian Indians by Beatrice Bickel, Paul C. Van Natta, and the curator, Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, was completed and prepared for pub- lication and will be printed in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology during the year. Measurements were taken of all the Eskimo and Alaskan skulls in the division (besides others) in preparation for the publication of the " Catalogue of measurements of the human crania in the United States National Museum." A series of measurements on the skulls of a number of tribes were made for Prof. Roland B. Dixon, of Harvard University, to aid him Avith his book on anthropology. A series of investigations was com- pleted by the curator on the teeth and jaws of the Indians and other races in the collection. A part of the results Avas published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology and part in the Dental Cosmos. REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 47 Various experts studied certain collections of ethnology, among them being George Pepper, Museum of the American Indian (Heye Foundation), New York City, who studied Navaho weavings; L. W. Jenkins, Peabody Museum, Salem, Mass., who examined Polynesian weapons; Ralph Linton, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, 111., worked on Polynesian art and was furnished photographs and catalogue data ; Dr. Arnold Van (xennep, Paris, France, conferred on aboriginal designs; Dr. L. H. Dudley Buxton, of Oxford, Eng- land, made a general study of the division; Dr. Edward Orton, jr., Columbus, Ohio, received data on cases; Dr. L. A. Barrett and Mr. Wheeler, of the JSIihvaukee Public Museum, made a protracted study of case furniture and general museum work; Miss Lois Kissell, Teacher's College, Columbia Universitv, studied the aboriginal de- signs in which the section is so rich for the purpose of training classes in decorative design; and Miss Esther Matchett, School of Education, Cleveland, Ohio, was assisted in selecting material for photographs illustrating the life of the Indian tribes. Much data was furnished correspondents in relation to the Ward collection. Photographs of an Indian peace pipe like those passed on from mouth to mouth during a council were furnished the Bureau of the Public Health Service for use as illustrations of insanitary customs. Photographs of the map of Virginia bearing a representation of Powhatan were furnished the Old Colony Club, Washington, D. C. The Bureau of Biological Survey, Department of Agriculture, was furnished elk teeth for photographing in a film designed to discour- age the killing of tliese animals for their teeth. DISTRIBUTION AN'D EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS. In continuing its valuable educational work in sending out collec- tions of duplicate specimens to schools, the department made a good record. Such collections are prepared with regard to their major value for teaching. They are required to be carefully kept by the recipients and to be used in teaching. In this way their usefulness is maintained at a high standard. From the division of ethnology a series comprising 35 specimens of basketry, pottery, beadwork, etc., was sent to the Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in exchange for a collection of ethnologica from Indians of that country; and a selection from the Roosevelt collections was forwarded as a gift to the Roosevelt Memorial Asso- ciation (Inc.), New York City. Among the distributions of American archeology, a collection of 150 archeological specimens from various localities in Tennessee was presented to the new public museum at Harriman, Tenn. From physical anthropology 30 human crania were sent as a gift to the Museum of the American Indian (Heye Foundation). 48 REPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. The department sent out 8 gifts, comprising 277 specimens, and 11 exchanges, comprising 153 specimens. The department received 30 lots of diversified specimens for examination and report. TOTAL NUMBER OF SPECIMENS IN THE DEPARTMENT. During the year there were received 140 accessions, comprising 6,568 specimens, excluding the Huntington material. Of these, 11 accessions, comprising 1,025 specimens, were loans and deposits. The total number of specimens received were distributed as fol- lows: Ethnology, 4,389 specimens; American archeology, 1,909 speci- mens ; Old World archeology, 123 specimens ; physical anthropology, 60 specimens, excluding the Huntington material; art textile, 79 specimens; musical instruments, 4 specimens; and ceramics, 4 specimens. The total number of specimens in the department of anthropology on June 30, 1922, omitting the Huntington collection, was 647,594, divided as follows: Specimens. Ethnology 156, 253 American archeology 423, 290 Old World archeology 29, 949 Physical anthropology 28,537 Art textiles 1,424 Musical instruments 2,046 Ceramics 6, 095 Total 647, 594 REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY. By Gerrit S. Milxee, jr., Acting Head Curator. COMPARISON OF INCHEMENT OP SPECIMENS OF 1921-22 WITH THAT OF 1920-21. From the numerical standpoint, the collections of this department show less uniform and healthy growth than during the year 1920-21. The actual number of specimens received, 318,950, represents, it is true, an increase over the previous year, but this increase is only 67,437, while the year 1921 showed an increase of no less than 114,720 over its predecessor. The details are given in tabular form below. From this table it is seen that in each collection of vertebrates the increment for the present year was less than the increment during 1920-21, while in each of the other collections the increment was greater than during the preceding year. Just why there should have been this sharp distinction between vertebrates and inverte- brates is not clear, but the fact is worth noticing. Together with the decrease in relative increment has gone a gen- eral decrease in the scientific importance of the new accessions. Three curators regard this importance as increased over that of the previous year's accessions, but only one of these (insects) feels called upon to express enthusiasm. Of the six others, five report essentially stationary conditions and one (fishes) a great falling off. In this last instance, however, the decreases in increment and value are both more apparent than real, for the reason that the increment in 1920-21 came chiefly from one collection whose size and value were extraordinary. In this connection it should again be emphasized that an increase in the number of specimens received means additional demands on the time and labor of the staff and that this means less chance for scientific work — that is, for making the knowledge represented by these collections available to the public — unless additional help can be obtained. In other words, normal growth of the quantity and quality of the accessions requires a normal growth in the scientific staff. 17075—22 1 49 50 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922.

The great outstanding feature among this year's accessions is the collection of about 100,000 insects of all orders made by Dr. W. M. Mann in South America (chiefly in eastern Bolivia). In Alaska another unusually important collection of insects was obtained by Dr. John M. Aldrich. The final consignment of Mr. Hoy's Aus- tralian material, presented by Dr. William L. Abbott and consisting of 354 mammals, 105 birds, and other miscellaneous material, includ- ing reptiles, fish, insects, mollusks, and marine invertebrates, brings the important and successful Australian expedition to a close. Maminals. — By far the most important accession in the division of mammals is represented by the shipment of 354 specimens col- lected in North Queensland and on the island of Tasmania by Charles M. Hoy and presented by Dr. AVilliam L. Abbott. With this accession the total number of mammals taken by Mr. Hoy in the Australian region is brought up to 1,1T9, including especially valuable series of skeletal and embryological material. Other spe- cially valuable accessions are the following : Seventy-seven mammals from southern China, collected by Arthur de C. Sowerby and pre- sented by Robert S. Clark; 25 mammals collected in Africa by H. C. Eaven; skins and skulls of a mule deer, a mountain sheep, and the skull of a mountain goat, all collected by Dr. Charles D. Walcott in Alberta, Canada ; 2 skins, 2 skeletons, and 4 odd skulls of Virginia deer collected by Arthur J. Poole in New Jersey ; 10 skins and skulls cf rodents received in exchange from the Museum of Comparative Zoology; a solenodon and 17 bats from the Dominican Republic, collected and presented by Dr. William M. Abbott. ^^rf/-s.— After having been reported on by Dr. Frank M. Chapman, of the American Museum of Natural History, the collection of 676 bird skins made by Edmund Heller in the Urubamba Valley, Peru, REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 51 while attached to the Yale University-National Geographic Society Expedition of 1914-15, has finally been turned over to the National Museum as a gift from the expedition. This material forms the most important individual contribution of birds from Peru ever leceived by us. It embraces 2 genera and 87 species and subspecies new to the Museum, including the types of 10 new forms described by Doctor Chapman in Museum Bulletin No. 117. B. H. Swales has contributed (under several accessions) 296 skins and some skeletons, nests, and eggs. Among these specimens are representatives of 17 genera and 131 species and subspecies new to our collection. Con- spicuous among these additions are two genera of birds of paradise and a skeleton of Darwin's rhea. By the terms of his will the late William Palmer bequeathed the greater part of his collection of birds to the National Museum. This collection is particularly rich in specimens showing change of plumage by molt and in juvenile plumages. It also included two skins of the Carolina paroquet, now nearly extinct, and three specimens of the extinct passenger pigeon obtained in the vicinity of Washington, one of them collected on Rock Creek as recently as the autumn of 1889. Other accessions worthy of mention are 235 skins and 5 nests, collected in Africa by H. C. Raven; 47 specimens from the Dominican Republic, collected and presented by Dr. William L. Abbott; 109 specimens from Aus- tralia, collected by Charles M. Hoy and presented by Doctor Abbott ; 46 skins collected in southern China by Arthur de C. Sowerby and presented by Robert S. Clark; 163 specimens in alcohol, 131 eggs, and 13 nests, chiefly from Argentina, Chile, Alaska, and British America, transferred from the Department of Agriculture ; 25 skins and 22 alcoholic specimens from Samoa, collected and presented by Lieut. Commander Richard C. Reed, U. S. N. ; 86 skins from Szechwan, China, collected and presented by David C. Graham ; 134 skins from southern California, collected and presented by Edward J. Brown. Reptiles and hatrachians. — The Hoy Australian collection, pre- sented by Dr. William L. Abbott, contained 26 specimens. Doctor Abbott also contributed 77 reptiles and batrachians taken by him- self in the Dominican Republic. As transfers from the Department of Agriculture were received 6 specimens collected by Dr. Alex. Wetmore in South America, 101 collected by Dr. W. P. Taylor and G. G. Cantwell in Washington State, and 180 taken by F. P. Metcalf and W. F. Kubichek in Minnesota. A transfer from the Bureau of Fisheries, Department of Commerce, consisted of 170 reptiles and batrachians from Lower California coKected by Dr. Charles H. Townsend. Fishes. — Only three accessions are mentioned by the curator of fishes as worthy of special comment. These are 500 specimens from 52 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. China, many of them representing species new to our collection, taken by Arthur de C. Sowerby and presented by Kobert S. Clark; 21 specimens from China, a gift from the National Southeastern University, Nanking, China, through C. Ping; 3 fishes, new to the coast of Uruguay, presented by Florentino Felippone, Montevideo, Uruguay. Insects. — The accessions to the division of insects are characterized by the curator as greatly surpassing in scientific value those " of any previous year for some time back." This happy condition is chiefly due to the two accessions already mentioned, the one of about 100,000 specimens obtained by Doctor Mann in South America, and the other of about 10,000 obtained by the curator himself in Alaska. The South American collection included all orders; that from Alaska " consisted mainly of Diptera and Hymenoptera, with a fair number of Hemiptera." Part of the F. J. Dyer collection from Honduras, comprising about 2,700 specimens of all orders, is another note- worthy accession. The Dyer collection " was originally sent to the American Museum of Natural History for mounting, under an ar- rangement by which we were to receive one-half. This has lately been consummated. The collection is of miscellaneous character, but in part of decided value." Other important accessions are a named collection of New England Diptera, comprising 390 species received from the Boston Society of Natural History; 1,468 speci- mens of Indian Hymenoptera, obtained from Col. C. G. Nourse, of London; 512 species of North American Lepidoptera, in part a gift, in part an exchange, from William Barnes, Decatur, 111. ; sev- eral lots of mosquitoes from the Canal Zone, in all, about 3,400 speci- mens, sent by Dr. J. B. Shropshire, sanitary officer at Ancon, Pan- ama; about 1,600 mosquitoes from Doctor Alfaro, San Jose, Costa Rica; Australian insects to the number of 465 received from the Australian Institute of Tropical Medicine, Townsville, North Queensland, through Dr. Gerald F. Hill. Marine invertebrates. — Five accessions are designated by the curator as worthy of particular notice: 1, More than 1,000 micro- scopic slides of Pacific sponges, as well as the personal slide collec- tion of Dr. R. von Lendenfeld including 71 slides of European sponges; 2, from Dr. J. A. Cushman, Sharon, Mass., 325 slides (1,000 specimens) of foraminifera from the north coast of Jamaica; 3, from Arthur de C. Sowerby (presented by Robert S. Clark), 50 speci- mens of marine invertebrates, 19 lots of Crustacea, and 4 lots of coelenterates, all from China; 4, about 100 specimens of crustacea from Curasao, West Indies, collected by Dr. C. J. van der Horst, Zo- oloogisches Laboratorium, Amsterdam, Holland (gift) ; and 5, from Prof. Max M. Ellis, University of Missouri, 350 specimens of cray- REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 53 fish and 25 specimens of Apus. Other accessions which deserve men- tion are a spiny lobster {PanuUrus laevicauda) , the first of its species to be taken in Florida, received in exchange from the American Mu- seum of Natural History; 11 species (109 specimens) of isopods and 3 species (45 specimens) of amphipods new to our collections, re- ceived in exchange from Dr. Charles Chilton, Christchurch, New Zea- land; 3 specimens of the isopod Leptanthura laevigata new to our collections; 1 cotype of Spirontocaris zebra from St. Mary's Bay, Nova Scotia, received in exchange from the Biological Board of Can- ada through A. H. Leim ; the largest spiny lobster of which there is authentic record, received as a gift from the Sarosota County, Fla.. Chamber of Commerce; one of the largest known specimens of an anomuran crab, Lopholithodes 7nandtii, caught by Bert Arthur Han- sen, of Prince Eupert, British Columbia, and presented by E. A. Wakefield; 37 specimens of Maderian Crustacea collected and pre- sented by Dr. Adolfo Cesar de Noronha, Funchal, Madeira. Mollushs. — In the division of mollusks the most important acces- sions have been those purchased with part of the accrued interest of the endowment known as the Frances Lea Chamberlain fund of the Smithsonian Institution. Three of these were small, aggregating only 140 specimens, but they are of special interest as representing material new to the collection. The fourth was the largest and most valuable accession received during the year. It is the part of the Quadras Philippine collection formerly owned by the Chicago Acad- emy of Sciences, and purchased from the academy with part of the income from the Chamberlain fund. The curator of mollusks says of this material: " Quadras was a forester in the Philippine Islands during the Spanish regime, and, next to von MoUendorff, made the largest collection of land mollusks that has ever been brought to- gether from these islands. The Quadras collection was exhibited at the World's Fair in St. Louis, and a set thereof came into the possession of the Chicago Academy of Sciences, the material re- ferred to above. This collection was loaned the National Museum some years ago to assist Doctor Bartsch in monographing the Phil- ippine mollusks. He has already described a large number of new species, the types of which are based upon this material, and many more will follow in course of time. Sr. J. G. Hidalgo, the Spanish authority upon Philippine land shells, reported upon many of Quadras's findings, and the collection now purchased contains topo- types of most of the things handled by Hidalgo. This collection, together with the first series of duplicates from the von MoUendorff collection obtained some years ago by exchange with the Sencken- bergische naturforschende Gesellschaft, together with the collections made by Doctor Bartsch on the United States Bureau of Fisheries 54 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. steamer Albatross Philippine expedition, and many sendings that have come in from time to time from various sources, readily place the collection of the National Museum now way ahead of any other museum as far as Philippiniana are concerned." Next in value to the collections purchased with the Chamberlain fund is the anatomical material obtained by John B. Henderson in Jamaica. This is of unusual importance, as it was collected with special reference to the needs of the Museum. A particularly inter- esting accession is represented by 187 slides presented by Dr. E. M. Bluestone, of Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City, showing various stages of development of the malarial parasite. This valuable col- lection was made by Doctor Bluestone in one of the Army camps during the war. In some instances specimens were taken at stated intervals between chills to show the different stages in the develop- ment of the trophozoite in the blood of man. No less than 23 gifts and 1 exchange are further mentioned by the curator as worthy of special notice. While they can not be described here, their mere number indicates a gratifyingly cordial relationship between our division of mollusks and the shell-loving public. Echinoderms. — By transfer from the Bureau of Fisheries, the Museum has received two important collections made by the Alba- tross and in part determined by A. Agassiz, H. L. Clark, and H. Ludwig. Dr. C. J. van der Horst, of Amsterdam, Holland, pre- sented 29 brittle stars from the island of Curagao, and the curator contributed 6 sea urchins from southeastern Africa. Plants. — The National Herbarium has been increased during the past fiscal year by gifts, exchanges, and purchase of specimens, and by transfer of material from several Government departments, especially the Department of Agriculture. The more important ac- cessions of the year are as follows : 43,843 specimens transferred by the Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agri- culture. These include 33,750 specimens, comprising three-fourths of the Buchtien Herbarium (referrred to elsewhere) ; 6,000 speci- mens collected by Ivar Tidestrom in the western United States ; 2,000 mounted grasses from eastern Asia, collected by A. S. Hitchcock; and 1,327 miscellaneous mounted grasses; 12.500 specimens, largely from tropical America, purchased from Dr. Otto Buchtien, La Paz, Bolivia (these with the 33,750 specimens mentioned above comprise the Buchtien Herbarium purchased jointly by the United States National Museum and the United States Department of Agriculture) ; 7,000 specimens collected for the Museum by Paul C. Standley in El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala (this material represents a full set of the collections made in Central America by Mr. Standley during the last half of the year on behalf of the National Museum, EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 55 the Gray Herbarium, the New York Botanical Garden, the Depart- ment of Agriculture, and Oakes Ames, Boston, Mass.) ; 3,970 speci- mens from the Philippine Islands, Borneo, and Siberia, received as an exchange from the Bureau of Science, Manila; 3,500 specimens from the Dominican Republic, collected by Dr. W. L. Abbott, re- ceived as a gift from him; 1,850 specimens, largely from tropical America, received as an exchange from the Universitetets Botaniske Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark (these include many specimens col- lected in Mexico, Central America, and Brazil) ; 836 specimens col- lected in Brazil by G. Gardner, received as an exchange from the British Museum (Natural History), London, England; 1,000 speci- mens collected in French Guiana by W. E. Broadway in continuation of the plan of cooperative exploration in South America entered into several years ago by the New York Botanical Garden, the Gray Herbarium, and the United States National Museum ; 1,252 specimens from tropical America, received as an exchange from the New York Botanical Garden (this material includes a large number of speci- mens from Trinidad and British Guiana collected under the auspices of the New York Botanical Garden in continuation of the plan of joint cooperative exploration just referrd to) ; 770 specimens from Guatemala, mainly ferns, received as a gift from Harry Johnson, Hynes, Calif. ; 742 specimens from Venezuela, received as a gift from H. Pittier, Caracas, Venezuela; 1,568 specimens, mainly from the northeastern United States and Canada, received as an exchange from the Gray Herbarium, Cambridge, Mass.; 453 specimens from Vene- zuela, received as a gift from Dr. Alfredo Jahn, Caracas, Vene- zuela ; 400 specimens from the French Congo, received as an exchange from the Jardin Botanique de I'Etat, Brussels, Belgium; 593 speci- mens of ferns from western Panama, received as a gift from Mrs. L. R. Cornman, San Diego, Calif, (this material is of special value as supplementing several recent large collections from the same region) ; 573 specimens from the Dominican Republic, received as a gift from J. A. Faris, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; 1,000 specimens from El Salvador, received as a gift from the Direccion General de Agricultura, San Salvador, El Salvador, through Dr. Salvador Calderon; 300 specimens from Panama, received as a gift from Brother Heriberto, Panama City, Panama ; 600 specimens of crypto- gamic plants, comprising centuries 1-6 of the Reliquiae Farlowianae, received as an exchange from the Herbarium and Laboratory of Cryptogamic Botany, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass.; 295 orchids from the Philippine Islands and 25 illustrations of orchids, received as an exchange from Oakes Ames, Boston, Mass.; 730 specimens from California, received as an exchange from Pomona Col- lege, Claremont, Calif. ; 422 specimens from California and Mexico, 56 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. received as an exchange from the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, Calif. ; 700 specimens from New York, received as a gift from W. C. Muenscher, Ithaca, N. Y. EXPLORATIONS AND EXPEDITIONS. From the standpoint of exploration and expeditions the year just completed shows very little improvement over 1920-21. The number of expeditions contributing material to the department of biology, according to the reports of curators, was 18 ; of this number no less than 10 were both financed and directed by our outside friends and correspondents, 7 were financed by others and partly or wholly di- rected by members of our staff, while only 1 was wholly under our control. These facts call for repetition and emphasis of the com- ments made by the head curator in his 1920-21 report, as follows: " It must be set down as an indisputable proposition that a large museum, and most assuredly one aspiring to be among the leading museums, and, moreover, one representing the richest nation in the world, can not maintain its standing without being able to send out properly planned and properly fitted-out expeditions for the pur- pose of expanding, supplementing, and completing its collections. Take these away and the institution must infallibly sink down to an humble place among those striving for the purpose of science and the benefit of mankind, and, incidentally, the benefit and glory of the country they represent. The value of a national museum of natural history is not so much in the display it is able to make as in the opportunity for research and exploration. It is not too much to say that for such a museum exploration is the very breath of life. Even in countries impoverished by war, directly or indirectly, an honorable and, let it be said, not altogether vain struggle is being kept up to continue the work of adding to the world's Iniowledge as circum- stances will best permit. If we look back upon the past history of our own institution, is it not clear that the high achievement we have attained and the splendid position we have reached are due in a great measure to the surveys and explorations which have emanated from here and the researches and studies of our men based on the material collected? The reputation of the Smithsonian Institution and its offshoot, the National Museum, it is no exaggeration to say is largely based upon just that kind of work. To live up to that reputation, to keep from sliding down from this enviable position, it will be necessary to find means for future explorations maturely planned and energetically carried out." The following are some of the more noteworthy of the expeditions r. A. H. Sturtevant, Columbia University; William Barnes and A. W. Lindsay, Decatur, 111.; Prof. E. T. Owen, Madison, Wis.; I'rof. T.

Fisher, of Hopkins Marine Station, Pacific Grove, Calif. (North Pacific starfishes) , and Prof. Hiroshi Oshima, Department of Agri- culture, Kyushin Imperial University, Fukuoka, Japan (holo- thurians). Echinoderms transferred from the Bureau of Fisheries had been determined by Alexander Agassiz, Hubert Ludwig, and Hubert Lyman Clark. Among the professional botanists from else- where than Washington who have worked in the herbariimi during the year are the following : Dr. B. L. Robinson, curator of the Gray Herbarium, Cambridge, Mass.; Dr. Francis W. Pennell, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia; Dr. J. H. Barnhart, of the New REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 71 York Botanical Garden, New York City; and C. A. Weatherby, East Hartford, Conn. The usual large number of specimens was asked for as loans by outside investigators and institutions as an aid in the study of their own material. Mammals were lent to the American Museum of Natural History, New^ York City (for use of H. E. Anthony, Childs Frick, and Herbert Lang); Melville A. Carpenter, Newark, N. J.; Dr. H. C. Cooper, Abercrombie, N. Dak.; A. B. Howell, Pasadena, Calif. ; Dr. R. W. Shufeldt, Washington, D. C. ; Southern Branch, University of California, Los Angeles; University of California, Berkeley.

Menzel, Buf- 72 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. falo, N. Y. ; and Miss Caroline E. Stringer, Omaha High School, Omaha, Nebr. Mollusks have not been sent out in great numbers or to many investigators. Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, University of Colorado, received 16 specimens of Madeira mollusks; Dr. H. A. Pilsbry, Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, borrowed two lots of specimens, mostly from Mexico and the West Indies. The entire Philippine collection of planarians was sent to T. Kabu- raki, of Tokyo, for examination and report. Plants from the Na- tional Herbarium were sent to Oakes i\jnes, Boston, Mass.; Botan- isches Museum, Berlin, Germany; University of California, Berke- ley, Calif. ; Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. ; Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, Pa. ; Gray Herbarium of Harvard Univer- sity, Cambridge, Mass.; University of Illinois, Urbana, 111.; New York Botanical Garden, New York City; Leland Stanford Junior Universtiy, Palo Alto, Calif. ; Bureau of Science, Manila, P.

The year's total of scientitic papers published by members of the staff or based wholly or partly on our material by outsiders is 274, distributed as follows: Mammals, 19; birds, 42; reptiles and am- phibians, 5 ; fishes, 5 ; insect's, 79 ; mollusks, 62 ; marine inverte- brates, 25; echinoderms, 8; plants, 29. DISTRIBD'nON AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS. Duplicates distributed to schools, colleges, and institutions aggre- gated 2,654 specimens, of which 1,043 were in seven sets of mollusks, regularly prepared for this purpose. Exchanges to the number of 30,423 were arranged, 30,107 being botanical. Among the 326 zoological specimens no specially impor- tant exchange is represented ; they were disposed of by the divisions of mammals, birds, reptiles, marine invertebrates, and mollusks in small lots as exchanges with various institutions and individuals. The largest exchanges of plants (more than 1,000 specimens in each exchange) were sent to the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University, Cambridge; Botanischer Garten und Museum, Berlin-Dahlem, Ger- many; British Museum (Natural Plistory), London, England; Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, 111.; Gray Herbarium of Harvard University ; University of Illinois, Urbana, 111. ; Jardin Botanique de I'Etat, Brussels ,Bclgium ; Museum d'Histoire Natu- relle Botanique, Paris; Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria; New York Botanical Garden, New York City; Riksmuseets Bo- taniska Avdelning, Stockholm, Sweden; Royal Botanic Garden, Kew, Surrey, England; and Academy of Natural Sciences, Phila- delphia, Pa. TOTAL NUMBER OF SPECIMENS IN DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY, INCLUDING NUMBER OF DUPLI- CATE SPECIMENS. As explained in previous reports, the numbers given below can only be approximately correct. It would manifestly be impossible to REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1925. 73 count all the specimens individuallj^ Except for the mammals, where an actual count has been made, the figures presented are based upon previous estimates, the numbers received during the year being added and the specimens disposed of by gifts and exchange or other- wise expended being deducted. It should be noted that this census does not include the collections of mammals and birds in the custody of the Biological Survey. Duplicates have not been segregated in several of the divisions for various reasons, but more particularly because a large amount of ma- terial has yet to be worked over monographically, so as to make it safe to deplete the series. It has therefore been considered the better plan only to list the number of duplicates actually segregated. It may be further noted that the figures for the division of plants are exclusive of the lower cryptogams. In the following table the figures in parentheses indicate the number of duplicates included in the total: Division : Mammals 79, 584 _.

By Geoege p. Meerill, Head Curator. Reports from all divisions of the department show a fairly satis- factory increase in the collections, commendable progress in their care and preservation, and a steady continuation of the research work which has been a noteworthy feature of the department's achievements in the past three years. Accessions. — Though slightly less in number than last year, there has been a decided increase in accessions as compared with those immediately preceding, 217 having been recorded, with an aggregate of 23,504 specimens. As is usual, we are indebted to the gener- osity of interested friends for the greater part of these, 137 being- recorded as gifts, 35 by transfer from other departments of the Government, 24 as exchanges, 9 collected by members of the staff, 8 by purchase, and 4 as loans or deposits. Notable among these are the following; Mention was made in last year's report of valuable collections of tin and tungsten ores obtained in Bolivia by Custodian Frank L. Hess. Early in the present fiscal 3^ear a later shipment of similar material was received, also collected by Mr. Hess especially for nniseum exhibition purposes and therefore unusually well selected, liikewise, through Mr. Hess's interest there were presented by the Standard Chemical Co., Naturita, Colo., examples of carnotite, hewettite, and vanadium oxides. The carnotites are perhaps the finest thus far mined, and the generosity of the company is most gratifying, as these interesting ores are being exploited to such an extent tliat in the very near future good exhibition material will become unobtainable. It is therefore imperative that such samples be preserved for future scientific purposes as well as display. The hewettite is the best thus far found in the United States. Three large specimens of uranophane-bearing sandstone, presented by John J. Bonner, Lusk, Wyo., were also secured by Mr. Hess. Dr. Frank Springer, East Las Vegas, N. Mex., presented eight nuggets of gold, the largest weighing 4| ounces, from the Maxwell land grant, New Mexico. These are notable as the only important examples of their kind in the Museum from the placers of that State. At Doctor Springer's request, Hon. Holm O. Bursum, Sena- tor from New Mexico, presented examples of torbernite, a radium- bearing mineral, from White Signal, Grant County, N. Mex. 75 76 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. Other gifts to be noted are a series of iron carbonate (sphaerosid- erite) and associated minerals from vesicles in the basalt of Co- lumbia River at Spokane, Wash., presented by Henry Fair, Spokane; examples of the diamond-bearing rock from the Ozark Diamond Mine, Pike County, Ark., received from Austin Q. Millar, Murfrees- boro, Ark. ; and a fragment from a mass of metallic zinc from Lin- chow, China, donated by Dr. J. Morgan Clements, is interesting his- torically as dating back to the Ming dynasty. It is reported that COO piculs (over 80,000 pounds) of this metal, found buried in a cave, wore sent to England in 1916. Type collections from Round Mountain, Nev., and the Tintic district, Utah, illustrating publications of the United States Geolog- ical Survey, and a series of volcanic products showing some of the phenomena connected with the recent eruptions of Lassen Peak, Calif., as observed by Dr. J. S. Diller, of the survey staff, are the chief materials transferred by that organization. Asbestiform crocidolite, amosite, and chrysotile — materials now being commercially utilized and of value for study and comparison — were received by exchange with the Geological Survey, Pretoria, Union of South Africa, and an* interesting series illustrating the mode of weathering of a dense, acid, porphyritic rock, was collected by the head curator from Mount Kineo, Moosehead Lake, Me. The most notable addition to the meteorite collection is the magni- ficent mass of iron from Owens Valley, Calif., gift of Lincoln Ells- worth, New York City, and referred to in my last report. It will be recalled that this iron, as found, weighed 475 pounds and that from it was cut a portion weighing 78 pounds, which Mr. Ellsworth re- tained for his own cabinet, generously donating to the national col- lections the larger portion together with the ebony base upon which it rests. A number of examples of falls and finds either new to the collection or hitherto poorly represented were acquired by exchanges. From the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, were obtained ex- amples of the rare iron-rich olivine stone that fell in 1815 in Chas- signy, France, and the black chondrite of Sevrukovo, Russia; from Ward's Natural Science Establislmient, samples of the Rosario, Hon- duras, and Arlington, Minn., irons and the stone of Chantonnay, France ; from Prof. Arthur B. Bibbins, an irregular slice of the iron from Odessa, Ector County, Tex. ; and from Prof. Donald W. Davis, an oval section of a stone from Sharps, Richmond County, Va. Also by exchanges were acquired a complete individual of the Toluca iron, weighing 1,495 grams, sent by the National Museum of Mexico, and a 48-gram slice of the Chinautla, Guatemala, iron, from Col. Wash- ington A. Roebling. Approximately 320 grams of a pallasite, found in June, 1921, near Cold Bay on the Alaskan Peninsula, and acquired REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 77 through S. K. Capps, of the United States Geological Survey, represents the second meteorite thus far reported from the Territory. By purchase were obtained examples of Bremervorde, Germany, Nerft, Russia, and Toubil, Siberia, falls. Various dealers in building materials have donated samples of their products in the form of 4-inch cubes or large slabs for wall panels. These are the Beaver Dam Marble Co., Milford Pink- Victoria White Granite Co., Presbrey-Leland Co. (Inc.), and Tomp- kins-Kiel Co., the last named having been particularly generous. The study series of minerals has benefited materially through ex- changes. First among these are minerals and rocks from Greenland, valuable in that they are practically all examples of type minerals described in Prof. O. B. Boggild's classic monograph on the minerals of Greenland, from whom they were obtained. Unusual Italian minerals, needed to fill gaps in the systematic series, were likewise obtained from Prof. Alberto Pelloux, Genoa, Italy. Four specimens of datolites from Westfield, Mass., including three type crystals showing new forms, described by Earl V. Shannon, were secured by exchange from Ward's Natural Science Establishment. Three important exhibition specimens are included among the gifts of this 3'ear: (1) A large cluster of colemanite from Inyo County, Calif., probabW the finest thus far known, donated by W. S. Kussell, Los Angeles; (2) an unusually showy and attractive speci- men of cuprite showing sharp, deep-red crystals on native copper, from the Ray Consolidated Mines, Ariz., given by Dr. R. O. Hall, San Jose, Calif.; and (3) a zoned rhodonite of unusual form, with yellow axinite, from Franklin Furnace, N. J., gift of Col. Washing- ton A. Roebling, Trenton. This last will become an object of special research by Messrs. Larsen and Shannon. A collection, including ptilolite and associations of unusual interest, was received as a gift from C. L. Kirtlej^, Challis, Idaho. These are much larger and finer than those from any previously known locality. Another gift, consisting of eight specimens of pucherite from Brazil, is representative of the first occurrence of this rare bismuth-vanadium mineral in crystallized form in America. The material was presented by J. E. Carney, jr., through F. L. Hess. The various transfers from the United States Geological Survey comprise chiefly type minerals, notably original or analyzed speci- mens of brannerite, bementite, gillespite, and magnesioludwigite. A section of mica from Spruce Pine, N. C, with an included garnet crystal, received from the same source, is worthy of mention and will be placed on exhibition. By purchase were obtained (1) a series showing the effect of radium rays on the color of minerals, prepared by Prof. C. Doelter, Vienna, Austria; (2) examples of nesquehonite, demantoid garnet, 78 REPORT OF ISTATIONAL, MUSEUM, 1922. and other minerals from Italy; and (3) a number of imperfect beryl crystals from Brazil, several of which were of gem quality and from them two beautiful stones haA^e been cut. Collections made in the field by Assistant Curator Foshag include vanadium minerals and hydrozincite from Supai, Ariz., secured through the courtesy of C. A. Heberlein, and numerous minerals from California and Nevada. Gems of beauty and value have been added to the Isaac Lea collec- tion through the Frances Lea Chamberlain fund. A series of uncut diamonds comprising 20 stones, selected to show the natural crystal forms and the variations in color — white, yellow, light and dark brown — from the mines of the Arkansas Diamond Corporation, Murfreesboro, Ark., is of more than ordinary interest. A magnificent cut gem of the rare orthoclase from Madagascar, weighing 61 carats; a blue zircon from Australia, weighting 10.9 carats; a series of fresh-water pearls, both pink and white in color, from rivers of Indiana and Arkansas; a collection of agates dredged from the mouth of the Uruguay River, many of which have been polished; and 12 pieces of Baltic amber have also been acquired. Individual gifts to the gem collection include nine cut gems of sodalite, from the Ice River Valley, British Columbia, presented by Mrs. C. D. Walcott, and a fine example of cut and mounted rhodonite, deposited as a loan. B. F. Wheeler, Vincennes, Ind., donated 21 baroque pearls showing a variety in shape and coloring, from the Wabash and White Rivers, Ind.; H. P. Petersen, Washington, D. C, 70 cut pieces of precious coral in white, pink, and red; and the American Gem and Pearl Co., New York City, a yellow topaz from Brazil. This com- pany also generously cut the two fine aquamarines from the Brazilian stones mentioned above. Although less widely distributed geographically than last year, valuable accessions of paleontological material have been received through the generosity of various oil companies, who donated to the Museum the collections made by their field geologists, or from indi- viduals traveling in foreign countries. Of particular interest are the Mesozoic and Cenozoic fossils from Mexico, Central and South America, India, and several European areas. Through the interest of Dr. L. W. Stephenson, examples of the peculiar rudistids and some rare crinoids from the Upper Cretaceous of Tamaulipas, Mexico, were obtained from the Mexican Gulf Oil Co., A. W. Becldey, and Messrs, Smith, Newell, and Bishop, all of Tampico, Mexico. The rudistids have been made the subject of a memoir by Doctor Stephenson, and the crinoids described by Dr, Frank Springer. The Transcontinental Petroleum Co., Tampico, likewise donated about 5,000 specimens of Tertiary fossils from Tehuantepec, collected by Dr. Bruce Wade: Dr. C. Wythe Cooke REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922, 79 presented collections of Cretaceous and later fossil material obtained by himself and O. B. Hopkins at 10 localities in the Republic of Colombia ; 200 specimens of Mesozoic invertebrates from the same State were received from the Instituto de la Salle, Bogota; late Tertiary fossils from the Fiji Islands were donated by Dr. A, G. Mayor, Tucson, Ariz.; and a series of Lower California fossils by John B. Orynski, Mexico City. Col. L. Worthington Wilmer, Isle of Wight, who has collected and presented much material in the past, has continued his interest by donating two collections of Lower Cre- taceous fossils from England. Especial mention should bB made of fossil corals and echini re- ceived from W. K. Forrest, St. Johns, Antigua, British West Indies, A number of new species of echini are represented, which are now being studied by Dr. R. T. Jackson. Another echinoid new to science, from Barbados, was received from Sir John B. Harrison, Department of Science and Agriculture, Georgetown, Demarara, British Guiana. Likewise of importance is a collection of fossils from 125 localities, representing virtually a complete section of the Tertiary formations of northwestern India, with particular refer- ence to the forminiferal rocks, collected and forwarded by D. Dale Condit, formerly of the LTnited States Geological Survey, but now engaged in geologic work in India and China. The chief Paleozoic invertebrate collections received during the year are from North American localities, although some few lots were procured from abroad. Noteworthy gifts are comprised in two ac- cessions of Devonian material including 5,000 fossil moUusks from various localities, received from B. Hart Wright, Penn Yan, N. Y., and 700 miscellaneous specimens from eastern Canada and an ex- hibition slab of sponges from western Pennsylvania, gift of E. J. Armstrong, Erie, Pa. Special collections secured by Curator Bassler consist of approxi- mately^ 2,000 specimens from central Tennessee, including both ex- hibition and study materials, and about 3,000 specimens, exclusive of duplicates, of Middle and Upper Devonian forms from western New York and Pennsylvania. Here may also be mentioned casts of type and other Paleozoic fossils contained in the Illinois State Museum, prepared by the curator and recorded as a gift from that institution. Similar casts of types of Arctic cephalopods were pre- pared and donated by Dr. August F. Foerste, of Dayton, Ohio. An important collection of fossil Bryozoa from the Carboniferous rocks of Bolivia was presented by Prof. E. W. Berry, Johns Hopkins Uni- versity. Exchanges have considerably enriched the study series, the most important comprising about 2,000 specimens from the Ordovician rocks of Nevada, received from H. G. Clinton and Percy Train, 80 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. Manhattan, Nev. Others of minor importance are recorded from England, Spain, and Iceland. But one purchase is recorded — that of a collection of Baltic amber inclosing fossil insects. This deserves special mention on account of its exhibition value. During several short trips to the Miocene deposits along Chesa- peake Bay, Norman H. Boss secured a number of examples of well- preserved cetacean remains. A skull and partial skeleton of a toothed cetacean of the squalodont group is the best-preserved speci- men of its kind that has yet been discovered in North America, if not in the world, and a second fine specimen is a long-nosed cetacean, a river dolphin type, consisting of a nearly perfect skull and lower jaws with a considerable part of the skeleton. While both of these are of exhibition value, their chief importance lies in their being two of the very few specimens known from these deposits having skull and other skeletal parts definitely associated. Both represent new forms and will become types. A second accession of similar material is the collection assembled by the late William Palmer, which was purchased by the Smithsonian Institution and deposited in the Mu- seum. This includes five good cetacean skulls and parts of others, besides many individual bones. Among the skulls are representa- tives of both described and undescribed genera and species. Valuable reptilian material was acquired by way of exchanges. From the Victoria Memorial Museum, Geological Survey of Can- ada, Avas received a nearly complete hind limb and foot of a large carnivorous dinosaur, Gorgosaurus; a tail club of an armored dino- saur ; and the fore limbs, feet, and pectoral girdle of a small tracho- dont dinosaur. All three of these forms from the Belly River and Edmonton formations of Canada are new to the collections and are suitable for exhibition. Other exchanges include cervical and dorsal vertebrae of the large Permian reptile, Edaphosawrus^ remains of which are rare, and a nearly complete fossil turtle of the genus Boremys, the former from the University of Chicago and the latter from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta. The John A. Savage Co., Crosby, Minn., presented a collection of skulls and several hundred bones of extinct buffaloes from the Pleistocene of Minnesota, uncovered during mining operations. No less than 14 individuals are represented, mostly pertaining to the species Bison occidentalism from which it will be possible to select material for a good composite mount. The Museum was fortunate in the acquisition of parts of the skin, hair, muscular tissue, and stomach contents of the famous Bere- sovka mammoth from Siberia, procured from the collector, E. W. Pfizenmayer, Stuttgart, Germany. The preservation of the soft EEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 81 parts of the anatomy of extinct animals is rare, and the collection, displayed with skeletal remains of the northern mammoth, is of general interest. Mention may also be made of two skulls of the small rhinoceros Diceratherium cooki^ from Agate, Nebr., forming part of the col- lection made by Doctor Gidley during the last fiscal year, and of a new form added to the collection of extinct birds, a tarso-metatarsus of Parapavo calif ornicus^ donated by the University of California. Five of the eight accessions in the section of paleobotany are of unusual value, consisting almost entirely of type material or of rare exhibition specimens. Two are transfers from the United States Geological Survey and comprise the types described by Dr. F. H. KnoAvlton from the Tertiary lake beds of southwest Colorado and from the Green River formation of the same State. Tavo fine exhi- bition slabs of fossil leaves from the Upper Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada, were presented by the Royal Ontario Museum of Paleon- tology, Toronto, while gifts from Prof. O. M. Ball, College Station, Tex., contain t3'pe specimens and an exhibition block of fossil plants. Explorations. — Extensive field work has been limited wholly to the division of paleontology. The head curator did a little work on his own initiative while in Maine on a vacation, and Mr. Shan- non was absent on a two-day trip with the Petrologists Club, of Washington, to Port Deposit and Conowingo, Md., and Peach Bot- tom, Pa., visiting a number of commercial granite, feldspar, talc, and slate mines and quarries. Early in the year Assistant Curator Foshag was detailed to collect minerals from interesting cave de- posits in the Grand Canyon, near Supai, Ariz., a project made pos- sible through the courtesy of C. A. Heberlein. operating in the region. The results of his w^ork are noted in the accessions. In connection with his research work at the University of California, Mr. Foshag has made two field trips, covering areas in southern California and Nevada. On both of these occasions he shipped the results of his collecting to the Museum. The geological work done by Secretary Walcott in the Canadian Rockies was in continuation of that of the field seasons of 1919 and 1920, and for the purpose of securing data on the pre-Devonian strata of the Sawback range in Ranger Brook Canyon, and a reconnais- sance of the pre-Devonian formations to the northwest as far as the headwaters of the North Fork of the Saskatchewan River, Alberta. A detailed stratigraphic section was studied and measured of i^re-Devonian formations in Ranger Brook Canyon, also at Fossil Mountain, 8.5 miles (13.6 kilometers) northeast of Lake Louise Sta- tion on the Canadian Pacific Railway, where large collections of fossils were made from the upper portion of the Lower Ozarkian 17075—22 6 82 REPORT or NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. Mons formation. Collections were also made from the Lower Ozark- ian and Upper Cambrian formations at various localities, but the real work of the season was the tracing of the geographic distribu- tion of the formations between the Bow Valley and the Divide pass- ing over into the Athabasca drainage at Wilcox Pass, which is about 65 miles (104.6 kilometers) northwest of Lake Louise Station. Dr. E. S. Bassler spent his vacation in July, 1921, in geological field work in the Central Basin of Tennessee, under the auspices of the geological survey of that State. While mapping and studying the economic resources of the Franklin quadrangle, in Williamson County, south of Nashville, so many interesting collections of Pale- ozoic fossils were made and so much stratigraphic data obtained that arrangements were made for another summer's field work in the same general area. During the greater part of June of the current year, therefore, Doctor Bassler. in company with Dr. E. O. Ulricli and R. D. Messier of the United States Geological Sur- vey, was occupied in making stratigraphic sections and collecting fossils over the entire Central Basin, an area of about 8,000 square miles. The ultimate object of this work is the preparation of a monograph on the stratigraphy and paleontology of Tennessee. On the completion of his work in Tennessee, in 1921, Doctor Bassler proceeded to Springfield, 111., where casts of type specimens in the State museum collections were made in accordance with the depart- ment's plan to complete so far as possible the representation of type specimens in the national collections. Through the courtesy of E. J. Armstrong of Erie, Pa., Doctor Bassler was enabled to visit all the classical Silurian and Devo- nian localities in northwestern Pennsylvania and western New York during the latter part of September. The object of this trip Avas to obtain field knowledge of the detailed geology and to collect care- fully selected sets of fossils illustrating the numerous formations of the region. The work was highly successful, and the large collec- tions of Devonian fossils in the Museum, concerning which exact stratigraphic data have been lacking, can now be determined and arranged in necessary detail. Dr. E. O. Ulrich, of the United States Geological Survey, spent the summer of 1921 in continuation of his field researches on the early Paleozoic rocks of eastern North America, and previous to joining Doctor Bassler in Tennessee, as noted above, studied the Silurian stratigraphy of Pennsylvania and Maryland. N. H, Boss made several short trips collecting in the Miocene deposits along Chesapeake Bay, all of which were under the auspices of the National Museum. These trips were unusually productive in the recovery of well-preserved cetacean remains, as noted under the accessions. EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1022. 83 Work of preserving and installing the collections. — With the ex- ception of cleaning a portion of the cases and correcting the labeling of some of the specimens, very little has been clone on the exhibition collections in economic geology. One small case was installed in order to place on exhibition a large carnotite in sandstone, an Ameri- can hewettite, and a iiranophane-bearing sandstone, and a second case was provided in which are large specimens of molybdenum ore from Climax, Colo., and of ilsemannite-bearing sandstone, together with smaller motybdennm ores, including part of the type materials from the R. and S. molj^bdenum mine. Several large slabs of build- ing stones have been placed on the wall panels, as well as three pho- tographs picturing quarry localities. The exhibits in physical geology have been given personal atten- tion by the head curator with a view to perfecting the labeling and card catalogues and making such rearrangement as seemed necessary. He also personally reinstalled in a new and larger case the collection illustrating the meteoric irons and associations from Meteor Crater, near Canon Diablo, Ariz. This has been on exhibition for several years, but as now shown is much more attractive and instructive. A new exhibit illustrating phenomena connected with the recent eruptions of Lassen Peak, Calif., has been added to the series illus- trative of volcanics. Much has been accomplished in i\\^ division in the way of assort- ing the collections turned over by the United States Geological Survey and the accumulations of past j^ears. A systematic attempt is being made to weed out and distribute duplicate materials and dispose of that which is waste. The most important single item has been the jRnal installation of the Yellowstone Park collection, de- scribed by Hague and Iddings and comprising over 2,000 specimens. In the course of unpacking boxes received from the United States Geological Survey, a number of sets, supposedly the specimens upon which various survey reports are based, have been discovered. The authors of the reports having, in many cases, left the Government service, Mr. Shannon, assisted where possible by members of the survey staff, has selected such materials as seemed representatiA'e and filed them away as type sets. Among these may be mentioned the ores from Georgetown, Colo,, and Butte and Elkhorn, Mont., districts. In more detail Mr. Shannon has examined the collections from the Idaho mining districts, including specimens illustrating published bulletins by Messers. Umpleby, Jones, Livingston, and Laney. This work is being done in unusual detail, as it serves the double purpose of properly preserving the sets for reference and contributes valuable data for incorporation in Mr. Shannon's paper on the minerals of Idaho, which is being revised and enlarged for publication. 84 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. The study series of nonmetallics has been expanded and the re- serve collections in physical geology cleaned and rearranged. OAving to the absence of the assistant curator for almost the entire year little has been done with the mineralogical collections. The cases containing the sj^stematic exhibition series were thoroughly cleaned, but only necessary changes have been made in this or other exhibits. Newly acquired materials have been cared for so far as routine required, but ail have been held for inspection by the assistant curator before filing with the installed collections. The Paleozoic invertebrates, as well as the fossil plants, have been cared for by Curator Bassler and Assistant Curator Resser, the latter devoting most of his time to the great Cambrian series built up by Secretary Walcott and the former to the collections of the later horizons. Doctor Resser individually has spent almost half of the year in the preparation and illustration of Cambrian forms for the secretary, although he has also been called upon to prepare illustra- tions of Museum specimens for Doctors Ulrich and Springer. Work on the post-Cambrian Paleozoic collections has been kept fairly well in hand, but only by means of the help afforded by Doctor Ulrich and his assistants. These collections have grown to such an extent that the present Museum force is taxed nearly to the limit in caring for them properly. The extent of the work in cleaning and rearranging the study series to accommodate each year's influx of accessions may be realized when it is stated that in the sections of invertebrate paleontolog}'^ and paleobotany there are over 1,000 6-foot steel cases carr3dng approximately 28,000 drawers. The col- lection of graptolites alone is of such size that when arrangements were recently made through a grant from the National Academy of Sciences to have them monographed it required the services of two l)ersons for six weeks to properly list the material and pack it for shipment. The Mesozoic and Cenozoic study collections have been cared for, as usual, by Drs. T. AV. Stanton, W. H. Dall, T. W. Vaughan, and their assistants. The paleobotanic exhibit has been increased by the introduction of four flat-top cases containing special exhibits which illustrate charac- teristic floras in various kinds of sediments, ranging from the cele- brated clay nodules of the Illinois coal measures to the volcanic ash beds of Colorado. The exhibit constituting a biologic series of fossil plants has been brought near completion, several hundred labels were distributed, and a considerable number of photographs introduced into the series. Doctor Bassler has added seven large mounts to his series illustrating geological phenomena of various kinds. The selection and labeling of materials intended for distribution, amounting this year to thousands of specimens, has consumed a con- REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922, 85 siderable amount of Doctor Bassler's time, as has also a report on a large collection of Chinese fossils submitted by Professor Louder- back, of the University of California. In this latter piece of work he was assisted by Doctors Kirk and Knowlton, of the United States Geological Survey. He has also personally catalogued and placed in final Museum form many types of ostracods and bryozoans which, on account of their microscopic size, required special attention. The preparation and mounting of the extinct Glyptodon collected in Arizona by Dr. J. W. Gidley has been the work of primary im- portance in the section of vertebrate paleontology. On account of the large size and unusual character of this animal, it is a most interesting and instructive addition to the exhibition series. The mount is the work of Thomas Home, who is to be commended for having so successfully accomplished a most difficult undertaking. Mention was made in last year's report of the preparation of a number of Titanothere skulls to be used in a special exhibit. As now installed it is the most comprehensive and ambitious exhibit of this large, extinct mammal ever attempted, comprising 26 skulls and other parts of the skeleton, representing 6 genera and 22 species. With the addition of the Palmer collection and the material ob- tained by Mr. Boss during the present year, the collection of ceta- ceans has now grown to be the most important of its kind in this country. Mr. Boss has been engaged for a considerable period in the preparation of this material, selecting representative series of the best skulls for exhibition. Two wall cases have been devoted to this exhibit, and, while the installation is not completed, it is proposed to devote one section to examples of the short-beaked cetaceans, one to the long-beaked, and a third to the whalebone, whales, with a small case between containing shark teeth and other fossil remains, the whole making a comprehensive showing of the fauna of the Miocene of the Chesapeake Bay region. The entire collection of cetaceans is now in good working condition, although not fully up to standard. In addition to the above work, Mr. Boss has prepared several rhinoceros skulls and turtles, made molds and casts of a number of fossil bird types, and has assisted in the renovation, rearrangement, and installation of several small case exhibits. Doctor Gidley has cleaned and prepared for study most of the smaller mammals of the material collected in Arizona last year. This includes the systematic arrangement of 54 species of rodents, the new species of which have been studied and described. Mr. Home spent considerable time on the preparation of the mastodon skulls and other bones of this collection, and Mr. Barrett was also engaged in the rough preparatory work connected with it. Mr. Bar- rett has also assisted in other preparatory and repair work. •86 KEPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. Harry Warner, preparator in the division of systematic geology, has, as heretofore, been engaged in the work of cutting, polishing, and otherwise preparing mineral, rock, and ore specimens for exhibi- tion. Several weeks of the latter half of the year have been occupied in sawing a large boulder of New Zealand nephrite. As the boulder measures some 25 by 84 inches, and nephrite is one of the toughest of minerals, the task has been one of considerable magnitude. One of the results thus far secured is a full-sized slab three-sixteenths of an inch in thickness, and a most beautiful object when viewed by transmitted liglit. Present condition of the collections. — The collections of the de- partment are in excellent condition as a whole. The exhibits have remained more or less unchanged, mainly because there was no necessity for extensive alterations. The available space, Avith the exception of that devoted to vertebrate paleontology, is fairly well filled and the addition of new^ material must be accomplished by retiring that which is less valuable or attractive. The gem collection has remained in charge of Miss ISIargaret Moodey and has been kept i'ully up to the standard of excellence previously established. In connection with the vertebrate exhibit, Mr. Gilmore states as follows : A summary of improvements in the exhibition hall of vertebrate paleontology shows the completion of the exhibit of Titanotherium remains; the introduction of a small exhibit comprising the hair, skin, muscular tissue, and stomach con- tents of the Beresovka mammoth ; the enlargement of the Chesapeake Bay cetacean exhibit ; the rearrangement of the exhibit of rhinoceros remains ; and the addition of the mounted Glyptotherium. As a whole, the exhibition collec- tion, except for the lack of proper printed labels on a few of the specimens, is in the best condition in the histoi'y of the section. Although not ranking first in size among American vertebrate paleontological exhibits, the considerable number of unique specimens displayed places it well up among the leaders in the matter of scientific and popular interest. In this connection attention may be called to the following as being the only skeletons of their kind exhibited anywhere in the world : Thescelosaurii .<^ ner/lectus, Camptosatirus hrowni, Bra- chyceratops montanensis, Stef/osaurus stenoijs, Triceratops prorsus, Cerato- sniirus nasicorniii, Basilosavrus cetoides, Epigaiiliis hatclieri, and Gido, species. As the only representatives of species may be mentioned Broiitotherium hatcli- eri, Platygonus cumherlandensis, Sinopa yrangerl, and Meryeoidodon gracilis. The exhibit of Titauothere skulls, as mentioned above, is the most ambitious display of these huge mammals ever attempted, while the exhibit of cetacean remains, when completed, will be by far the best to be found in any American museum. Throughout the department the study series require each year a certain amount of shifting and rearrangement owing to their con- tinual increase. In all sections they are clean and accessible, and the catalogues are up to date. Researches. — The head curator has, as time permitted, contimied his researches on meteorites, the results of which are noted in the REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 87 bibliography. Maiiiusciii)t of a handbook descriptive of the collec- tions, both exhibition and study, in the entire department has been prepared for publication in the Smithsonian report, and is now in the hands of the editor. Numerous minor investigations have been completed by Mr. Shannon. Xew materials have been given first attention, and a series of minerals from the Columbia basalt at Spokane, Wash., and of rare zeolites from Challis, Idaho, have been examined in detail. Of materials previously incorporated in the collections, three " gouge " clays from precious metal veins, an andorite-bearing silver ore from Nevada, velardeilite from Cali- fornia, trichalcite from Idaho, pucherite, wavellite, pyrite, and garnet have been analyzed or crystallographically studied and de- scribed. Study of iddingsite in collaboration with C. S. Ross was continued, while in association with Dr. E. S. Larsen several min- erals from Franklin Furnace were described. Hisingerite from Delaware was Avorked on in a joint investigation with Alfred C. Hawkins, and several minerals from Pennsylvania in collaboration with Dr. E. T. Wlierry. At present the meteoric mineral merrillite is being investigated with Doctors Larsen and Wherry. The completion of Secretary Walcott's study of the appendages of the trilobite is noted among paleontological researches. His other scientific investigations include a preliminary examination of the fossils found in the pre-Devonian formations between Bow Valley and Wilcox Pass. Dr. Frank Springer has made further progress on his monograph of the Silurian crinoids of the Ohio Valley, for which new material has been obtained. He has also investigated for the Geological Sur- vey of Canada some collections made by its staff in the Mackenzie Elver Basin, resulting in the recognition of a crinoidal fauna which, Avhile the species are all new, parallels in a remarkable way that of the Upper Devonian formation of Belgium. One paper by him on this subject was published by the Canadian Survey and another is now in press. Specimens illustrating the discoveries were acquired for the Museum collection. Another important acquisition made by Doctor Springer for the benefit of the Museum consists of a con- siderable series of new species of crinoids from the island of Timor in the Dutch East Indies, obtained through his correspondence with the geologists who conducted the expedition supported by the Gov- ernment of Holland. Doctor Springer has also studied and reported upon a collection from the Cretaceous of the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico, made by Dr. L. W. Stephenson, of the United States Geo- logical Survej^, in which the genus Balanocrinus was recognized for the first time in America. Doctors Ulrich and Bassler completed a monograph on Silurian Bryozoa and Ostracoda of Maryland, and a treatise on Silurian 88 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1&22. stratigraphy, both of which works are now in press by the Maryland Geological Survey. Mention should be made here of the cooperative work with the surveys of both Maryland and Tennessee, each of these institutions bearing the expense of collecting material which comes to the Museum, as well as publishing the results of field work and study. Doctor Bassler has now in preparation a volume on the stratigraphy of a portion of the Central Basin of Tennessee; has prepared an article descriptive of Carboniferous Bryozoa from Bo- livia; and in addition prepared for the Smithsonian Annual Report a popular account of the 'Bryozoa and moss animals. In collabora- tion with Ferdinand ('anu researches on the post-Paleozoic Bryozoa in the collections have been continued and the results of the year's work submitted for publication. Dr. W. H. Dall has been chiefly engaged in working up the marine mollusk fauna of the Hawaiian Islands, both recent and fossil; Dr. T. W. Vaughan and his associates have continued determinative and descriptive work on collections from Mexico, the West Indies, Cen- tral America, northern South America, and the Fiji Islands; Dr. T. W. Stanton has pursued his studies of the faunas of the Cretaceous formations ; and Dr. Mary J, Eathbun has studied the Tertiary deca- pod crustaceans collected in Mexico by Doctor Vaughan and pre- pared a report on the same, which will be incorporated in his report of the results of his work in Mexico. Doctor Rathbun has also identified the crabs recently collected in the Cretaceous of South Dakota and Wyoming. Dr. F. H. Knowlton has worked continuously on the fossil plant collections throughout the year and has completed three papers on the flora of the Green River, of the Animas formation, and of the lake beds of south central Colorado. He has now undertaken a study of the Museum's series of Fort Union forms, a work which will be of great benefit in classifying these numerous specimens and eliminating the duplicates. Papers based wholly or in part on the paleontological collections of Cretaceous age have been prepared or published by Drs. J. B. Reeside, jr., and L. W. Stephenson, of the United States Geological Survey. Remington Kellogg and Alex Wetmore, of the Biological Survey, have studied and described vertebrate materials, the former the cetaceans and the latter the fossil birds. Dr. J. W. Gidley has completed his work on the Primates of the Fort Union; has prepared a preliminary report on the fossil verte- brates from the San Pedro Valley, Ariz., with descriptions of 16 new species of rodents, and has continued his study of the Cumber- land Cave fauna. Mr. C. W. Gilmore completed his article descriptive of an extinct Varanid lizard from Wyoming, noted in last year's report as well REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 89 under way, and has prepared and submitted three papers for pub- lication, as follows : A new genus and species of sauropodous dino- saur from the Upper Cretaceous of New Mexico ; The mounted skele- ton of Brachj^ceratops ; and A new fossil turtle from Arizona. The first two have been published, the last is in press. Mr. Gilmore's monographic study of the fossil lizards of North America, under a grant from the Marsh fund of the National Academy of Sciences, lias been his chief work of investigation during the year. Of specialists outside the Government service whose scientific re- searches have added to the value of the collections. Prof. James Per- rin Smith, of Leland Stanford Universitj^, has submitted to the United States (xeological Survey for publication a monograph on the Upper Triassic marine invertebrate faunas of North America, which is in large part based on Museum material; Dr. O. P. Hay, of the Car- negie Institution, has continued his studies of the Pleistocene verte- brates ; Dr. Robert T. Jackson has described fossil echini ; Dr. J. A. Cushman, f oraminif era ; Dr. August Foerste, Silurian cephalopods; Ferdinand Canu, bryozoans; and Drs. Arthur Hollick and E. W. Berry, fossil plants. Many outsiders, including graduate students from various uni- versities, have made use of the collections and laboratories during the year. Mr. A. Rodolfo Martinez, of the Geological Institute of Mexico, continued his studies for several months, and Mr. Seitaro Tsuboi, of the Imperial University of Tokyo, spent considerable time in the chemical laboratory, while shorter visits were made by Professors Nakamura and M. Watanabe. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bar- rett spent three weeks studying collections of California rocks, pre- paratory to teaching in a boys' summer camp in California. Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn and Dr. W. D. Matthew, of the American Museum of Natural History, studied our vertebrate col- lections in connection with their special researches; Dr. Ralph Chancy, of the University of California. Miss E. Round and Miss Weston, of Brown University, and Prof. A. E. Douglas, of the Uni- versity of Arizona, have examined the i^aleobotanic collections, the last named studying especially the fossil woods Avith reference to their bearing on past climates. In addition to research work on the collections, all members of the staff have been called upon to do a considerable amount on ma- terials submitted by outsiders for examination and report. Within the year, 473 lots have been reported on, 395 of which were geological or mineralogical, and 78 paleontological. Distributions. — For purposes of scientific research or as loans for exhibition or other usage, there were sent out during the year 39 lots of material, aggregating 2,978 specimens, and 500 pounds of material in bulk. These were distributed among workers in other 90 REPOltT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. branches of the Government, colleges or other institutions, and special investigators. As exchanges there were shipped 27 lots, comprising 1,201 miscellaneous specimens and TO pounds in bulk ; and as gifts, 20 shipments, aggregating 3,270 specimens, and 75 pounds of blowpipe material, specially prepared to meet individual needs, and in addition, from the sets prepared for distribution to schools, 30 sets of minerals and ores, 30 of rock weathering and soils, and 3 of invertebrate fossils, with a total of 3,318 specimens. Total nuinher of specimens in the depai'tment. — It was stated in last year's report that a conservative estimate of the number of specimens in the department showed a total of not less than 1,500,000. The division reports of the current year estimate the receipts as aggregating 23,504 specimens, thus making the total at the end of the year 1,523,504. The number of duplicates, which are not in- cluded in the above estimate, can not possibly be given. DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES. IlEI'Oin' ON THE DIVISIONS OF TEXTILES AND MEDICINE AND THE SECTIONS OF WOOD TECHNOLOGY AND FOOD. By F. L. Lewton, Curator of Textiles. COMPARISON OP INCREMENT OF SPECIMENS OF 1921-22 WITH THAT OF 1920-21. The accessions received during the year niunber 85 (including 3 joint accessions with other departments), being 10 more than the preceding year. The entries covered by the above accessions number 2,792, 1,856 more than were received in the fiscal year 1921. These entries may be divided into six groups, as follows: Textiles 920, medicine 1,029, wood technology Til, foods 71, and miscellaneous organic products 61, each group, with the exception of foods and organic products, showing more entries than last year. The additions to the collections assigned to these divisions repre- sent for the most part specimens not heretofore represented in the Museum and taken as a whole are of greater value than those re- ceived last year. ACCESSIONS DESERVIxNG SPECIAL NOTICE. Cooperation with the Department of Commerce has resulted in the addition to the Museum's collections of several hundred speci- mens of industrial raw materials not heretofore represented. This material had been sent to the department by American consular oflficers and trade commissioners and placed in the files of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. After having been referred to in the Commerce Reports and loaned to interested business firms and manufacturers, the specimens served their main purpose, but by transfer to the National Museum they are made to serve general education and are available for scientific study. The 833 specimens thus acquired include spinning and cordage fibers, packing materials, paper yarns and fabrics, and some interesting textile fabrics of for- eign manufacture; also Avoods. tanning materials, dyestuffs, crude drugs, gums, resins, rubber, waxes, casein products, sugars, and spices. A card catalogue of this material, connecting it with the commercial reports concerning it, is filed in the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, which makes these specimens still avail- able to inquirers. 91 92 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. The generous cooperation of Cheney Bros., of South Manches- ter, Conn., has been continued by the contribution of specimens of tie silks, silk scarfs, ties, mufflers, handkerchiefs, and socks showing the use of silk for men's wear. The Duplan Silk Corporation, New York City, added to the numerous specimens previously contributed by it two specimens of figured novelty crepe fabrics showing beautiful combinations of thrown silk and artificial silk. Specimens of mohair net, an open-weave drajjery fabric made from cotton and mohair yarns, were contributed to the textile col- lections by Lesher, Whitman & Co. (Inc.), New York City. Steps in the manufacture of seal plushes and other fur fabrics are illustrated in an interesting series of specimens presented by Sidney Blumenthal & Co. (Inc.), of New York City. Two specimens of Bokhara prints, one on satin striped voile and one on a heavy novelty crepe, were contributed by H. E. Mallinson & Co. (Inc.), also of New York City. To Tobler & Co., New York City, the Museum is indebted for three samples of Dufour silk bolting cloth, a strong, fine, gauze- woven fabric made in Switzerland especially for use in miUs as a bolter or sieve to separate the finer products of milling from the coarser particles. Silk bolting cloth is not made in this country, and it is the only manufacture of silk that is imported into the United States without paying a customs tax. The finest of the specimens has 26,569 mesh to the square inch. A valuable addition to the silk exhibit was the gift to the Museum by Mr. Amin Meluk of specimens of the cocoons and crude silk pro- duced by larvae of the eri silk moth, Attacus Hcini Boisduval. While the raising of the common mulberry silkworm can be successfully carried out in this country, the production of raw silk in America has not been successful, owing to the impossibility of reeling the cocoons in competition with the low-paid labor of the Orient. The production of spun silk from pierced cocoons and other forms of waste silk, however, has grown to be an important business in the United States, since it is practically a machine product. The cocoons produced by the eri silkworms can not be reeled and must be handled by machinery. Eri silk is white and possesses many of the prop- erties of tussah without the objectionable brown color. The food plant of the eri silkworm is common in the Southern States, and it appears that silk from this source may be produced in the United States. The ancient art of weaving, which for a long time has been given over in this country to power-operated machines, is again taking its place as a popular and fascinating handicraft. Following a lecture in the south gallery of the Arts and Industries Building, October 25, REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 93 1921, on " Homekraft weaving," by Mrs. Anna Knott Shook, of New York City, the Museum was presented with one of the hand-operated portable looms invented and used by Mrs. Shook and 14 beautiful examples of woven articles formed directly on the loom according to her system. These articles represent a departure from the ordinary hand weaving and include useful household articles and wearing apparel. While the widespread revival of hand-knitted garments, such as socks, sweaters, and caps, which marked the period of the World War has somewhat subsided, since there is no longer a need to knit such garments for soldiers, it is still true that hand knitting continues to be very popular, and there has been even an increase in the demand for fancy SAveaters, scarfs, etc. To meet this demand for novelty effects in hand-knitted garments, manufacturers of worsted knitting and crocheting yarns have been producing many new kinds of yarn for this purpose. S. B. & B. W. Fleisher (Inc.), of Philadelphia, Pa., contributed for exhibition examples of these new yarns and a series of hand-knitted garments illustrating their use, which are to replace the extensive series of specimens presented by them in 1919. Specimens of cotton fabrics collected in Java, decorated by the wax-resist process known as " batik," whereby a design is first traced on the undyed fabric by means of a fine stream of melted wax, and a "tjanting," one of the small copper implements for melting and pouring the wax, were purchased to illustrate this beautiful and popular method of decorating fabrics. Standard commercial grades of the most important cordage fibers were received through the generous cooperation of Wiggles worth & Co. (Ltd.), of London, England, the firm which handles the greater part of America's imports of these raw fibers. A two-spindle flax-spinning Avheel for spinning and winding two threads at one time was presented by William H. Beach, of Seneca Falls, N. Y. A hand-operated knitting machine, capable of knitting stockings, scarfs, etc., was contributed by Mr. E. L. Sechrist, of Washington, D. C, for inclusion in the Museum's series of models and machines arranged to illustrate the principles of knitted structures. In the division of medicine the most important accession of the year was a series of charts prepared and contributed by the H. K. Mulford Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., comprising 91 specimens, photo- graphs, and labels so arranged as to tell the story of the prevention and cure of certain diseases by means of biological medicines; also a series of 15 large colored transparencies and two bromide enlarge- ments of photographs which illustrate some of the principal proc- esses and tests used in the manufacture of these medicines by methods approved by the Government. These charts show the vaccine treat- 94 KEPORT OF ^'ATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. nient of rabies, the serobacterin treatment of typhoid fever and whooping cough, and the principles of diagnostic skin tests used to determine the cause of certain diseases and conditions of health. They are a continuation of the series referred to in last year's report, which is arranged to illustrate what vaccine (or bacterin), serum, and serobacterin therapy are. The fundamental principle of these forms of therapeutics is immunity, and the medicaments used to produce this active or passive immunity are, in vaccine or bacterin therapy, the infectious agents themselves; in serum therapy, the blood serum of an animal that has been immunized against such an infectious agent ; and in serobacterin therapy, the infectious agent after it has been sensitized by the serum of an animal immunized against that agent. While the mortalitj^ is slight from hydrophobia and man can pro- tect himself from it by police measures, the mere mention of the name evokes legendary visions of raging victims, bound and howl- ing, inspiring terror in all those in their vicinity. Up to the time of Pasteur every person and every animal that contracted the disease died from it. Pasteur, the famous French bacteriologist and scientist, basing his work on the discovery of Jenner that vaccination with cowpox prevents smallpox and taking advantage of the long incubation period of the disease, developed the present system of immunization against rabies. Realizing that the full- strength virus could not be administered at once without trans- mitting the disease, Pasteur weakened or attenuated the action of the virus, found in the spinal cord of an animal Avhich had died of hydrophobia, by allowing a portion of the cord to become old in contact with air. He proved that after 14 days the virus is harmless, and that a dog which receives a properly prepared treat- ment from a rabic spinal cord 14 days old, then the following day from one 13 days old, then from one 12 days old, and so on until the fresh cord is used, does not contract rabies and is inmiune to it. The serobacterin treatment of whooping cough aims to assist nature to develop an immunity so that the effects of BaolUits per- tussis^ the essential causative factor of the disease, and its toxins may be overcome. Whooping cough causes about 10,000 deaths every year in the United States, of which more than half occur in infants less than a year old. It is said that during the Spanish-American War and the Civil War the incidence of typhoid fever was 91.22 and 70.69 per cent, Avithout serobacterin treatment, and in the American Expeditionary Forces less than 0.1 per cent, with serobacterin treatment. Two charts of the series have been arranged to show hoAv physi- cians determine the protein or proteins which give rise to systematic disturbances, such as hay fever, asthma, and food idiosyncrasies. EEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, lt>22. 95 An unusually attractive and complete series of 127 specimens of essentials oils and related substances were received by transfer from the Bureau of Chemistry, Department of Agriculture, through Dr. F. B. Power, pharmaceutical research chemist of that depart- ment. These specimens Avere prepared by Fritzsche Brothers, of New York City, who are the American agents of the largest Euro- pean manufacturers of essential oils and aromatics. In addition to a very complete series of the true and synthetic oils used in medicine and perfumery there are a number of rare and valuable specimens of aromatic substances, such as ambergris, Tonquin nuisk, artificial musk, etc. The addition of this series to other material on the subject of essential oils fairly completes the Museum's ex- hibit of this subject. Although absorbent cotton and gauze only found a place in medi- cine with the birth of Listerism. a form of aseptic and antiseptic surgery introduced late in the eighteenth century by the English physician. Lord Joseph Lister, its growth and development coinci- dent Avith the evolution and revolution of surgical methods has been so great that to-daj^ entire mills and factories are engaged in car- rying out the processes which transform the raw cotton fiber into surgical dressings of various sorts and kinds. Johnson & Johnson (Inc.), New Brunswick, N. J., donated 56 specimens, 6 descriptive charts, 1 book, and 28 photographs illustrating the treatment to which cotton is subjected on its long journey from the field to the finished surgical dressing. There are also included packages of l)lain, medicated, and strengthening bandages and complete first-aid kits and packets for emergency use. This firm also presented an exhibit intended to show how plasters are made and compris- ing 55 specimens and 10 illustrations. Plaster medication has always enjoyed considerable popularity because of the convenient man- ner of application. This popularity and increased demand has re- sulted in the invention of plaster-making machinery of ingenious construction and the development of an industry. The making of plasters by doctors and druggists has now become a lost art because of these machines. The fact is brought out that medicated plasters are divided into three classes with regard to their therapeutic or medicinal effect, as follows: Those which act epidermatically — that is, upon the surface of the skin; those intended to produce an en- dermatic effect by penetrating into the skin ; and those for constitu- tional and systematic effects by not only penetrating into but through the skin. Research work and clinical observation have led to a remarkable growth in the employment of animal derivatives in medicine and surgery. In addition to the specimens of glandular products, or- 96 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. ganic extracts, digestive ferments, and pharmaceutical preparations obtained from slaughtered animals, already shown in the division, there were presented during the year by the Wilson Laboratories, Chicago, 111., 33 specimens and 11 photographs which show the man- ufacture of catgut ligatures and sutures. This exhibit demonstrates that the basic material of these surgical necessities is the small in- testine of the sheep and not the intestine of another animal, as the name might imply ; also that the first 20 feet of the smooth part of the intestine — which is the only part used in surgery — is cleaned, washed, stretched, sterilized, and then cut into strands. Two or more of the strands are twisted together by an ordinary spinning wheel, gauged into sizes based on the American wire-gauge standard, and placed in sealed tubes ready for use. In addition to a complete series of plain, chromic, pyoktannin, iodized, and silverized catgut, the exhibit contains an assortment of other ligatures and sutures of animal origin, such as horsehair, kangaroo tendon, silkworm gut, and twisted silk. For the purpose of showing the connection be- tween these ligatures and sutures and surgery, a series of surgical needles, needle holders, and wound clips were included in the ex- hibit. The Kny-Scheerer Corporation of America, New York, N. Y., donated 112 needles of different shapes and sizes and 9 needle holders. The Museum is indebted to Fred Haslam & Co. (Inc.), of Brooklyn, N. Y., for the contribution of a surgeon's suture outfit, complete, with magazine wound-clip forceps, wound clips, etc. It has not been so many years ago since all pills and tablets used in medicine were made by hand. Necessity, the mother of inven- tion, created the demand for machines to do this work, and an ex- hibit was installed during the year to give an idea of the workings of a modern pill and tablet manufacturing plant. For this Eli Lilly & Co., of Indianapolis, Ind., contributed 29 specimens and 14 photographs. With the compound cathartic pill and the phenas- bic tablet as types, each progressive step — weighing, mixing, knead- ing, shaping, and coating — have been illustrated so that each process can be easily understood. The making of clinical thermometers is shown by a series of 30 specimens donated by the Nurnberg Thermometer Co. (Inc.), of New York City. This exhibit illustrates the various processes in the manufacture of thermometers of this kind from the time the glass tubing is received from the glassworks until the scale is engraved in wax, etched, and blackened so it can be easily read. One of the most interesting steps is that in which the bulb and tube of thin glass which contains the mercury and the thicker tube upon which the scale is etched are Joined together. REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 192i2. 97 The necessary apparatus was obtained to illustrate the follow- ing pharmaceutical operations: Vaporization, distillation, desicca- tion, comminution, sifting, lotion, precipitation, straining, filtration, separation of immiscible liquids, dialysis, expression, and percola- tion. The following companies contributed material for this ex- hibit: Whitall-Tatum Co., Philadelphia, Pa., 20 pieces of pharma- ceutical apparatus; the Will Corporation, of Kochester, X. Y., 11 specimens of laboratory apparatus; Gilpin, Langdon & Co. (Inc.), Baltimore, Md., 7 powdered drugs of different degrees of fineness; and Dufur & Co. (Inc.), Baltimore, Md., 6 samples of brass-wire sieve cloth. For the purpose of showing the origin of certain of the well- known alkaloids, the following concerns donated the specimens men- tioned: The Hoffmann-La Roche Chemical Works (Inc.), New York City, 22 specimens of medicinal alkaloids; Gilpin, Langclon & Co. (Inc.), Baltimore, Md., 22 specimens of crude and powdered vege- table drugs; Powers-Weightman-Rosengarten Co., Philadelphia, Pa., 13 specimens of medicinal alkaloids and alkaloidal salts; and Parke, Davis & Co., Detroit, Mich., 10 narcotic alkaloids and alka- loidal salts. Among the additions to the historical medical collections the fol- lowing are worthy of mention : One hundred and sixtj^-five photo- graphs, illustrations, and pictures to show the development and growth of homeopathy, contributed by Dr. W. A. Dewey, of Ann Arbor, Mich. ; a Homeopathic Cyclopaedia of Drug Pathogenesy in four volumes, donated by Dr. J. P. Sutherland, dean of the Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, Mass. ; 33 specimens of standard homeopathic literature presented by Boericke & Tafel (Inc.), Philadelphia, Pa.; 10 specimens and documents relating to tlie histor}^ of homeopathy in the United States, a gift of Dr. Car- roll Dunham Smith. New York City; a case of surgical instruments used during the Civil War by Dr. A. T. Still, the founder of oste- opathy, contributed by Dr. George A. Still, of Kirksville, Mo. The most important accession to the collections representing wood technology is that contributed by the Hammermill Paper Co., of Erie, Pa., illustrating the manufacture and use of sulphite wood }>ulp for writing papers. This comprises 104 specimens, 28 sepia photographs, and 4 lithographic prints and is arranged in two series — one in which every stage of the process is represented either by a specimen or a photograpli and the other to show the exact quan- tity of each ingredient required to produce 100 pounds of sulphite paper. The American Walnut Manufacturers' Association was instru- mental in securing the cooperation of its members in collecting a 17075—22 7 98 REPoirr of nation A'I. AIUSEUM, 1922. beautiful series of important inanufactiired articles showing tlie use of black walnut. The material for this cooperative exhibit was con- tributed by the following: American Walnut Manufacturers' Asso- ciation, Cliicago, 111., 13 photographs showing the manufacture of walnut veneers and three-ply wood panels of the same material ; Win- chester Repeating Arms Co., New Haven, Conn., seven specimens of walnut rifle stocks and fore ends; Pickrel Walnut Co., St. liouis, Mo., composite panel containing eight figures of American walnut; Wood- Mosaic Co. (Inc.), New Albany, Ind., three specimens of walnut parquetry flooring; Hartzell Walnut Propeller Co., Piqua. Ohio, three specimens showing the manufacture of a walnut aeroplane propeller; George W. Hartzell, Piqua, Ohio, two specimens of walnut stump-wood veneer; Penrod Walnut & Veneer Co., Kansas City, Mo., six specimens of walnut burl veneer; and the American Wood Rim Co., Onaway, Mich., one all-wood automobile steering wheel. Through the continued cooperation of the United States Forest Service, another group of specimens illustrating wood turning was added to the technical collections after the convention of the National Association of Wood Turners, held in this city June, 1921. This material Avas contributed by the following nine firms : American Handle Co., Jonesboro, Ark., five ax and hammer handles of white hickory; the J. B. Hellenberg Co. (Inc.), Coldwater, Mich., 31 speci- mens of sporting and athletic goods, wands, mallets, etc. ; American Enamel Co., ProA^dence, R. I.. 34 specimens of umbrella handles; Warren Novelty Co., Warren, Vt., one hard-maple candle pin for use in game of that name; Horatio Kelsey (Inc.), Clinton, Conn., two specimens of red hickory hatchet and hammer handles ; Newton & Thompson Manufacturing Co., Brandon, Vt., 150 small toys and toy and game parts, showing irregular Avood turning; Crandall Bros., North Kingsville, Ohio, 30 specimens of bungs, faucets, and vent plugs for casks; Jenkins & Bogart Manufacturing Co., Kingfield. Me., three specimens of shaving brush handles and one novelty wood turning; and Oldtown Realty Co., OldtoAvn, Me., 14 specimens of mop and dust brush handles and finger and comber blocks. From George W. Smith & Co. (Inc.), Philadelphia, Pa., there was receiA-ed a series of six specimens showing the use of laminated wood in the manufacture of Avoodisk Avheels for motoi' vehicles. The growing importance of the use of Avood in the manufacture of motor- driven vehicles is indicated by its position of eleventh place as com- pared Avith twenty-first place for other vehicles in a recent list of wood-consuming industries of New York State. From the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Depart- ment of Commerce, there Avas receiA^ed the loan of 153 specimens of woods, representing 108 species, from the folloAving countries: lUiPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 99 ^ViistiaJia. Ihazil, Colombia, Dominican Kepublio. Ecuador. Japan, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela. Through the continued cooperation of the States Kelations Service of the Department of Agriculture, prize- winning jars of fruits, vege- tables, and meats, put up by members of boys' and girls' canning clubs and selected by State demonstration leaders, haA'e been received for exhibition in the section of foods, and eight colored bromide enlargements of photograi)hs slioAving a girl club member canning by the cold-pack method were obtained from the office having cliarge of the boys' and girls' club work. The American Relief Administration, which has had charge of the feeding of destitute children in Europe, after the special exhibition of its work here in the Museum during January, 1922, presented numerous photographs, charts, and printed documents illustrating the feeding of Austrian children, the methods used in determining those which were undernourished, and the computation and meas- urements of standards of diet. This material will be of value for comparison with our present exhibit arranged to show the fuel value in calories of ordinary articles of food. WORK OF PRESERVING AND INSTALLING COLLECTIONS. All of the collections under the care of the curator have been care- fully inspected for insects, and all perishable material like wools and foodstuffs have been fumigated several times, and the board specimens of fresh lumber were treated with kerosene to prevent at- tack by termites. This has meant, however, constant vigilance. The cataloguing of new specimens has been kept up to date, and the installation of new material has been made as soon after its receipt as Avas possible. A large part of the time of one preparator was given to making gummed letter case labels for the textile ex- hibits and for the medicinal collections. The examination and indexing of new textile terms and other special information contained in the large number of trade papers and periodicals received by the sectional libraries of textiles, woods, medicine, and foods has occupied the time of the preparators when not engaged in other duties. Four new permanent installations and a special temporary exhibit were set up in the division of textiles during the year. A special exhibit of live silkworms was installed in the south hall during the second week in June, 1922. For this purpose about 500 silkwoniis of difl'erent ages representing the Italian and Japanese varieties were presented by Mr. T. J. Keleher, of Washington, D. C. The more mature of the silkworms finished feeding and spun their cocoons to the delight of hundreds of school children. The younger insects, hoAvever, were lost, owing to a poisoning of their food supply by the 100 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1D22. sprayingf machine used in protecting the shade trees of the near-by park. The installations included an exhibit of hand-loom weaving, silk textiles for men's wear, ornamental objects made from hmnan hair, and models of knitting machinery. The exhibits devoted to fur fabrics, plushes, combinations of thrown and artificial silks, printed silks, mohair textiles, and tied and dyed fabrics were re- arranged and their appearance much improved. The exhibit show- ing foods put up by children Avas enlarged and rearranged, and there were added eight colored bromide enlargements of photographs showing important steps in the cold-pack method. The assignment of the entire east gallery for the use of exhibits of the division of medicine necessitated a complete rearrangement of all of the cases. This reorganization resulted in the installation of 20 new exhibits and the rearrangement of several others. The installations belonging to the historical series consisted of exhibits showing the history and principles of osteopathy, historical articles relating to homeopathy, a case arranged to show the history of the United States Pharmacopoeia and the work of revising and pub- lishing the ninth edition of this official standard, and eight more bromide enlargements of photographs of men famous in medicine. These comprise Harvey, the English doctor who discovered the circulation of the blood; McDowell, the American who performed the first ovariotomy; Long, an American, the first surgeon to use ether as an anesthetic in a surgical operation ; Morton, the American who demonstrated ether anesthesia to the world; Pasteur, the Frenchman who was the pioneer in bacteriology; Koch, the Ger- man who discovered the cause of tuberculosis and cholera; Reed, an American who was president of the commission which demon- strated that yellow fever is transmitted by mosquitoes ; and Gorgas, the famous American sanitarian Avho made possible the building of the Panama Canal. This completes a series of 16 pictures, which are mounted on the pilasters above the cases. In addition to utiliz- ing a space the barrenness of which detracted from the exhibits as a whole, these portraits point out some of the noted benefactors of the human race who have overcome the general skepticism re- garding neAv medical doctrines and who have constructed a scientific basis for the cure of disease. The pharmaceutical collections of the division were enhanced by the addition of three exhibits arranged to show the steps in the manufacture of medicated plasters, pills, and tablets and some of the principal pharmaceutical operations em- ployed in the manufacture of medicines. The part taken by medi- cine and surgery in the development of special branches of industry has been shown by exhibits illustrating the manner of making medi- cated plasters, surgical dressings, catgut ligatures and sutures, and clinical thermometers. The exhibits illustrating the treatment of REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 101 whooping cough, typhoid fever, and hydrophobia by serums and vac- cines and how diagnostic skin tests are made are an addition to the series of public health collections. Fifteen colored transparencies were mounted during the year at the end of the gallery, where use can be made of the natural light. These transparencies show important steps in the preparation of vaccines and serums by methods ap- proved by the Government. Two large photographs show a modern plant in which these medicinal agents are prepared for distribution. The installation of six new exhibits was completed in the section of wood technology during the past year. These comprise an exhibit of balsa, a wood weighing but little more than half as much as cork, consisting of a cross section of young balsa tree, a squared small beam 4 feet long, and an ice-cream box constructed entirely of this wood, the insulating value of which is such that a quart of ice cream will remain firm in this box for five hours with an atmospheric temperature of 75° ; specimens showing the work done by the Linder- man automatic dovetail glue jointer in jointing small waste pieces and building up wide lumber from narrow stock ; the exhibit of the Hammermill Paper Co. illustrating the manufacture of sulphite wood pulp and paper and arranged in two series to show steps in the process used and the quantity of each material required for 100 pounds of paper; an airplane propeller of American walnut to replace the white-oak propeller transferred to the aircraft building ; a series of containers and molded articles made of wood pulp by the Drake process; and the series of specimens illustrating uses of American walnut contributed by the American Walnut Manufac- turers' Association and some of its member firms. The walnut series includes veneer cutting and beautifully figured veneered panels, gun stocks, an automobile steering wheel, and specimens of parquetry flooring. PRESENT CONDITION OF THE COLLECTIONS. With the exception of slight fading of certain textile fabrics which are affected by the light and the discoloration of certain food samples due to exposure to light and heat, there has been but very little deterioration of either the exhibit or study materials. The older material in the division of medicine has been carefully examined and only expected deterioration is noticeable. Some of the old series of chemical drugs, particularly those which are subject to efflorescence and deliquescence, are worthless, and some of the pharmaceutical preparations made years ago which undergo changes are no longer fit for exhibition purposes and have been removed to the storage room until they can be examined by a condemnation com- mittee. The preserving fluid on the fresh anatomical specimens was changed during the year. .102 KEPORT OF NATIONAL M rSF.UAr, 1!)22, The collections representing wood technology are in good condi- tion. The first set of balsa wood specimens were injured by handling and their softness tested with finger nails and pocketknives by visitors desiring to verify statements of its unusual properties. These have been replaced by fresh material donated bv the former cooperator. UF.SEAUrH AND .STfI>IKS CAItKIKD UN AT THh: Mrsr.f.\r. For the heneft of the Museum.. — As much time as could be spared from routine work has been given by the curator and one assistant to the preparation of comprehensive technical definitions of textile fabrics based upon authentic specimens in the Mviseum's collections. This has meant the careful examination of all available current textile literature, as the technical mill and trade terms used in older works of reference are often not in accord with those in current use in the United States. Further progress has been made toward the completion of a fabrics glossary based on actual specimens, as tlu' Museum's collection of named textiles has been steadily increased. 7'he iise of the Museu?n's colhctions mid faeUities hy visitors mid correspondents. — Th<' industrial collections, particularly those con- cerned with house construction and furnishing, were studied by the professor of economics at George Washington University and liis students. The wood collections were made use of by J. H. Lohman, of Panama, who spent some time studying the woods of that region, and H. T. von Bernewitz, jr., who examined speci- mens of various woods to determine their value for violin making. Specimens of crude drugs were brought on numerous occasions for comparison with the Museum's collections by the pharmacognocist of the Bureau of Chemistry, J. F. Clevenger, who is engaged in de- termining the identity of drug imports under the food and drug law. Numerous visitors made inquiry at the curator's office in search of special information suggested by the exhibits and made particular use of the technical books on textiles, woods, and drugs in the sectional libi'aries. The curator and assistant curators fur- nished special information on industrial raw materials and the inden- tification of specimens from time to time during the year to the Bureaus of Chemistry and Plant Industry, United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. The identification of specimens of fibers and fabrics, gums, resins, s:?eds, and woods for numerous individuals, both in and out of the Government service, has been a regular part of the work of this division. The curator furnished the identifica- tion of cottons and cotton seeds introduced by the Office of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction and Distribution, Department of Agri- culture, and to him has been referred all letters requesting informa- tion on silk and artificial silk received by the Department of Agri- r.KPOUT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1022. 103 culture and other Federal departments. For James H. Harper, of this city, the curator identified and made a mechanical analysis of a specially prepared silk yarn used in the construction of a network for correcting the acoustics of large public buildings. Names of f^pecud coopevafors. — A number of persons deserve special mention for their splendid cooperation in arranging for the con- tribution of specimens to the ^luseuni and for making use of every opportunity of presenting the needs of the ^Museum to persons and professional bodies in a position to render assistance. In this con- nection it is desired to name Mons. Jean L. Duplan, president of the Duplan Silk Corporation of Xew York and a member of the French Commission attending the Limitation of Arms Conference; Dr. F. P]. Stewart, consulting director of the scientific department of the H. K. Mulford Co., Philadelpliia. Pa.: Dr. J. F. Francis, chief chemist of Parke. Davis & Co.. Detroit, Mich.; Dr. W. A. Dewey, of the Univereity of Michigan : and two representatives of the Ameri- can Osteopathic Association. Dr. Xorman C. Glover, of this city, and Dr. George A. Still, of Kirksville. Mo., whose assistance has residted in completing the owhibit illustrating the principles of osteopathy. EESEARCHES ELSEWHEUE .AIDED BY MUSEUM MATERIAL. The identification and restoration of missing parts of an ancient spinning wheel, owned l)y H. E. Eckler, of Cleveland, Ohio, was made possible by the sending to him of a photograph of a similar wheel in the Museum's collection, marked to indicate the missing- parts. Specimens of Coto bark were furnished to J. F. Clevenger for use of the pharmacognosy laboratory, Bureau of Chemistry, Department of Agriculture, in the study of a series of barks of this kind collected by the Mulford Biological Exploration of the Amazon Basin. The United States Army Medical School was furnished specimens of Cannabis iiuliea and Cannahis americano for use in the trial of a soldier by court-martial. Two specimens of Curacao aloes from the drug collections were lent Prof. E. X. (rathercoal, College of Pharmacy of the UniA^ersity of Illinois, for use in the monograph of this medicinal substance b}' the committee engaged in the revision of the United States Pharma- copoeia. DISTRIBUTION AND KXrHAX'JE OF SPECIMENS. Dr. R. L. Griggs, professor of botany at George Washington Uni- versity, was furnished five specimens of fibers of tropical plants for use in teaching. Ten board samples of native woods were pre- pared and sent as a gift to the State Museum, Springfield, 111., and 19 hand samples of woods from native and introduced trees were 104 REPORT or NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. donated to the New York State College of Forestry at Syra- cuse, N.

REPORT ON THE DIVISIONS OF MINERAL AND MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY. By Carl W. Mitman, Curator. In the report for the year 1921 mention %Yas made that in May of that year the separate divisions of mineral technology and mechani- cal technology were combined and administered under one head. With the close of the present fiscal year the administration of the combined divisions has been in existence 14 months, and it is gratify- ing to note that the benefits which it was expected would accrue to the Museum and the public have been in a measure realized. The advantages gained are not as evident in new exhibits, for the reason that there is practically no available exhibition space, as they are in the improvement of a large number of the existing exhibits through an interchange of facilities previously had only by one or the other of the independent divisions. It is estimated that in this connection the results attained are 50 per cent greater than would have been possible under the conditions which existed previously. COMPARISON OP INCREMENT OF OBJECTS OF 1921-22 WITH THAT OF 1920-21. As mentioned in the last annual report, it was proposed in the immediate future to expend all efforts in the division of mineral technology toward rounding out the exhibits already on hand, so that during the present year no effort has been made in this divi- sion toward the securing of new materials except such as might be necessary in the completing of the present exhibits. While four ac- cessions, comprising 466 specimens, were obtained in 1920-21, five accessions were received during the fiscal year just closed, com- prising 30 objects. All of these accessions have been used to round out the jDresent exhibits, three of which are gifts and two have their source within the Museum. From a numerical standpoint the collections in the division of mechanical technology were increased by the receipt of over 100 per cent more specimens during the year than were received the preceding year. There were received 356 objects, as compared with 162 the j)revious year. This number is divided among 33 accessions, the same as in 1920-21. Of these accessions, 24 are gifts, 7 are loans, 1 a transfer, and 1 made in the Museum. The distribution of the 356 objects is as follows: One hundred eighty-nine to trans- portation, 57 to metrology- 15 to firearms, and 95 to electrical engi- neering. 105 106 KKPOllT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1!>22. ACOKSSIONS DESKRVIXG SPECIAL VDTU.'E. In the division of mineral technology four of the fiA^e accessions consist of 28 transparencies, colored and imcolored, which are used verj' appropriately in further amplifying several of the division's industrial exhibits. Twenty of these transparencies were made in the Museum's photographic laboratory — 12 for the natural gas exhibit and 8 for the exhibit showing the manufacture of sodium compounds b}' the Solvay process; four transparencies were received as a gift from the Union Sulphur Co., Xew York City, showing interesting phases of the sulphur-mining industry as practiced in Louisiana ; and four colored transparencies illustrating a like num- ber of the more important uses of Portland cement, received as a gift of the Atlas Portland Cement Co., New York City. The fifth exhibit consists of a case containing a technological chart or flow sheet showing the steps, with products, in the manufacture of the thermal insulator, *■' 85 per cent magnesia."' This exhibit is used in conjunction with the division's asbestos products exhibit and was received as a gift from the Magnesia Association of America, Phila- delphia, Pa. Oi the 32 accessions received b}^ the division of mechanical tech- nology and distributed to its several branches of activities, all are worthy of note. Special reference, however, must be given to the following : Land transportation.— 'Y\\e exhibit visualizing the development of the locomotive was enhanced by a complete working model, one twent^^-fourth actual size, made of brass and steel, of the " Ameri- can " type locomotive. It illustrates the early twentieth century development of the type used jjrincipally for high-speed passenger service, a type previously unrepresented in the division's collections. The model is loaned by John S. Clarke, Ardmore, Pa. The divi- sion's exhibit relating to the development of the locomotive con- tains many gaps which it was hoped could be gradually closed by the construction of well-made models. The facilities at hand for such work are very limited, however, and the time required would be very extensive. As an alternative, therefore, the division was pleased to I'eceive as a gift from the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadelphia, Pa., a series of 71 photographic copies from original negatives and drawings illustrating types of locomotives made by this company between 1832 and 1922. When these photographs are installed in the locomotive series, it is believed that the visitor will obtain a fairly comprehensive idea of this important subject. The exhibit illustrating the development of the gasoline automo- bile was enriched through the gift of The Autocar Co., Ardmore, Pa., of an original full-size machine, designed by Louis S. Clarke and constructed in 1901. Its particular feature is that it is shaft EEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM., 1922. 107 driven, as over against the chain drive. In the early days of the auto- laobile industry in this country both the steam engine and the internal-combustion engine were experimented with as a source of motive power. One of the most successful of these steam-driven automobiles was that knoAvn as the •' Locomol)ile," operated by a two-cylinder steam engine developed by Stanley. The division was very fortunate in receiving as a gift from Louis S. Clarke, Ard- more, Pa., one of these two-cylinder steam engines used in a Loco- mobile, about 1901. Inasmuch as the automobile truck is the latest development in the transportation of commodities overland, the division was pleased to be able to add to its series of models show- ing the improvements in this type of transportation two one-quarter size models of automobile trucks. These were presented by The x\utocar Co., Ardmore, Pa. Metroloijy. — The branch of metrology devoted to mechanical cal- culators Avas enhancetl by the accession of a series of three ma- chines to illustrate the successive steps in the development of the reversible crank type originally patented by F. S. Baldwin in IbTo. This accession is the gift of the Monroe Calculating Machine Co., Orange, N. J. During the course of the year the time-keeping collections were further increased by the gift of 27 gold and silver watches and watch movements, heretofore unrepresented in the Museum's collections, i'hese were presented by (ieorge W. Spier, Chevy Chase, Md. Electrical engineering. — From time to time in the past the divi- sion has succeeded in procuring objects visualizing improvements in the incandescent electric lamp. Through the gift of 94 incan- descent lamps from the Edison Lamp Works of the General Electric Co., Harrison, N. J., it is gratifying to note that the division now has a complete series of incandescent lamps showing all the steps in the development of the Edison type, beginning with the original patent granted in 1879 and ending with the many varieties in use in 1922. Of this series, all are original lamp.s with the exception of the lamp first developed by Edison in his laboratory in Menlo Park, X. J., in October, 1879, and the model lamp submitted to the Patent Office when application for patent rights was made. These two lamps, however, have been accurately reproduced and form part of the collection. PEESERVIXG AND IXSTALLIN'G COLfiBCTIONS. One of the important features of the exhibits in the division of mineral technology is working models. The time spent by the pre- parator in maintaining these exhibits has been so great that it was considered advisable to make a study of the conditions in the hope of reducing the time element. As a result a number of mechanical 108 REPORT or NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. features were designed and incorporated in several of the models with such success that the preparator is enabled now to devote con- siderably more time to new work. Because of the large amount of power consumed in operating the models, together with that of illuminating transparencies, a survey was made in an endeavor to determine what savings could be effected. As a result certain changes were made in the methods of illumina- tion; changes were made also in the time schedule of the working models, resulting in the saving of 400 kilowatt-hours of power since February 1. As the exhibits now stand, they are all in excellent condition. During the year in the division of mechanical technology a plan was evolved which in its realization will, it is believed, increase the instructive value of the collections. Briefly, it is to make the objects tell a story rather than merely represent a period in development ; in other words, to increase both the atmosphere of the object and the data on the label so that a visitor will be impressed with the signifi- cance of the material rather than being reminded only of its exist- ence. To this end, the division is combing over all the collections — stressing the important ones and placing each object where it Avill obtain the desired results. Together with reinstallation, the ma- terial is thoroughly repaired where necessary. Bad material is re- placed; new bases made, if needed; mistakes in construction reme- died; all with a view to in every way increase both the appearance and worth of the object. Briefly stated, efforts have been directed and realized as follows: Mechanical engineering. — The various engines and machines have undergone thorough cleaning and repair, together with rearrange- ment. All of the various meters and instruments have received ex- cellent care and are being further increased in value by explanatory labels. Electrical engineering. — The interesting series of exhibits portray- ing the development of the incandescent electric lamp was brought up to date and rearranged. The telephone exhibits were rearranged and added to. Motors, meters, and all phases of electricity have received intelligent attention. Marine engineering. — During the process of photographing the major part of the collection, all boats were repaired and cleaned, a thing much needed and which has made a decided improvement in the presentation of the exhibit. Several models received in unfin- ished or damaged condition have been made suitable for exhibition. Transfortation. — All exhibits connected with land transporta- tion— manumotive, animotive, locomotive, and automotive — have re- ceived proper attention and have been enhanced by additions. The exhibit of automotive accessories has been placed in better relation REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1932. 109 to allied subjects, as well as prepared in better manner for the in- srruction of visitors. All other exhibits have been grouped accord- ing to their motive power and chronological development. In aerial transportation all exliibits have been so installed as to be readily studied by visitors. The development of aeronautics is fairly well rej^resented by the objects now on exhibition, and the missing steps are being filled in by models made in the division's laboratory. It is planned to develop, by drawings exhibited in the swinging frames, a complete history of aviation and as rapidly as possible to substitute these by models. At this writing several excellent illus- trations of historical aircraft pertaining to this development have been exhibited. Firearms. — The exhibit of firearms received careful attention, as well as thorough cleaning. New accessions are treated upon receipt in a manner known to preserve them against rust or other injury. The history of artillery is being presented by a series of four models of ancient catapults, made in the division's laboratory, one of which is completed and on exhibition and forms the beginning of a branch of ordnance heretofore lacking in the otherwise complete collection. Metrology. — The horological collection has been made particu- larly appealing to the public and has received constant commenda- tion. Exhibits are placed in good light and in an instructive man- ner, as well as being kept in excellent condition. As a Avhole, the collections in the division of mechanical technol- ogy are in well-preserved condition. Some collections are handi- capped for lack of space or proper cases, but, as far as possible, this is being remedied. RESEARCHES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE MUSEUM. Researches on the collections resulted in the publication during the year of two papers by the curator, the first a Catalogue of the Mechanical Engineering Collections of the Museum, published as Museum Bulletin No. 119, and the other an article on Watchmakers as Inventors, which appeared in the Keystone for June, 1922. In the division of mineral technology all activities are preceded by special investigations relative to each particular mineral indus- try in an effort to compile sufficient data on the technology and eco- nomics iuA'olved in order to present it in an instrnctive manner to the lay public. In an endeavor to bring more to completeness the division's exhibits relative to the glass industry, Paul M. Frank, assistant curator, spent a large part of his time in a study of the plate glass, optical glass, and chemical glass phases of the industry. The writer, on the other hand, devoted as much time as he could find in preparing data and securing the needed cooperation for the preparation of an exhibit visualizing the manufactured-gas indus- try, and it is gratifying to report that the exhibit is already well 110 EEPOIIT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1U22. advanced and a (lra-\ving- of the completed exhibit, together with text, prepared for free distribution. Of the several branches of activities in the division of mechanical technology, that dcA'oted to marine engineerinij, or naval architec- ture, more nearly approaches the ideal in thoroughness and complete- ness than any other. With the coo})eration of the United States Fish Commission, this branch was brought to its present state many years ago. and a descriptive catalogue of the collections Avas begun by the late Capt. Joseph AV. Collins. Believing that this catalogue should be completed, the writer spent the greater part of the year in studying the collection and preparing new data, rearranging and editing the data previously recorded by Captain Collins, and arrang- ing the whole for publication as a bulletin. This manuscript, together Avith illustrations, Avas submitted for publication about April 1. The special investigations begun last year by Paid Garber. aid. for the purpose of visualizing the deA^elopments in aeronautical engineering, Avere continued and resulted in the construction of a model of the aircraft proposed by Henson in 1840 and the beginning of another model of the aircraft proposed by Sir John Caley. Toward the close of the year the division of mineral technology began Avork upon a model visualizing the manufactured-gas industry to be incorporated in the fuels exhibit. The Museum is indebted to Samuel S. Wyer. Columbus, Ohio, for securing practically all of the data necessary to carry forward this work, who had, in addi- tion, the cooperation and advice of prominent individuals connected with the manufactured-gas industry. The diAdsion of mechanical technology has receiA^ed in times past incandescent lamps of undetermined origin and make and has re- ceived material help from Henry Schroeder. of the Edison Lamp Works of the General Electric Co., in identifying these objects, as well as other objects pertaining to electrical illumination. NUMBER OF SPFXIMENS IN THE COLLECTIONS. During the year a complete iuA'entory was made of the collections assigned to the division of mechanical technology. Museum cata- logues as far back as 1876 being carefully examined and checked with the specimens. Of the 7,798 specimens in the division, it was found 5,813 are on exhibition, the remaining 1,085 being in the study series or storage.

There is a certain satisfaction in knowing that the improvements in the division of graphic arts are following logical lines. This year the exhibits of printing and the reproductive arts have been almost entirely rearranged according to the plan approved in 1920. Historical and technical specimens are now together for the first time. Certain new material has added to the completeness of the exhibits. Eighty-eight new^ accessions were received, being an increase of 30 o^'er last year; but these numbered only 1,014 specimens, as compared with 2,296 for the previous year. There is usually powder in num- bers, and last year was a banner year, still this year's specimens are fully as important and valuable, considered from a scientific stand- point. The most important individual gift was that of Dard Hunter, of Chillicothe, Ohio. It was a very comprehensive exhibit showing the sixteenth century methods of making type. The entire exhibit is the work of or was prepared by Mr. Hunter, who designed and cut the punches, struck the matrices, cast the type on a hand mold of his own make, set the type, and printed on a handpress two books on paper of his own manufacture. Last year the division received the paper exhibit and the two books and this year the type material. The combined material giAes an excellent idea of the early methods of making paper and type. Mr. Hunter is now writing a book on the history of paper, which he will print from the same type and on his own paper, so that the entire book will be the result of his labors alone. Illustrated accounts of his work and the Museiun exhibit have been published in many papers and magazines throughout the world, and his article on ''Seventeenth century type making" in the Quarterly Notebook is a clear and brief description of early methods of type making. Mr. Hunter has just recently included an old composing stick, dated. 1604, and a mold used in the famous Caslon foundi-y about 1750 in his other donations. The Inland Printer, of Chicago, gave 12 portraits of famous an- cient printers, which add something of historical interest to the collection. Ill 112 REPORT or NATIONAL, MUSEUM, 1922. Several fine old books were loaned by Earle W. Huckel, including the only specimen of incunabula in the collections of the division, Lockniayr's Tlieology, published at Hagenau in 1497. This loan in- cluded another early book, a beautiful example of printing, " Missae Novae in Missali Romano," published in 1696 by the famous printer Balthasar Moretus, and several old Bibles. In the first century of the history of letterpress printing there was great beauty in the printed page, but in modern times little artistic Avork had been produced. To William Morris belongs the honor of reviving the interest in beautiful typography and presswork. He started a printing press in 1890 with the idea of making har- monious and beautiful books and published 53 volumes, each a gem. His ideas were based upon the best that had been done in the past. The books that he turned out were beautiful in every way; type, design, paper, and presswork, and the binding all came up to a high artistic standard. The division was fortunate in recently coming into possession of an excellent copy of " The Well at the World's End," by William Morris, published in the spring of 1896, the last j^ear of Mr. Morris's life. The exhibits of letterpress printing should be nearly complete in another year, material show- ing modern methods of type making and the process of printing a newspaper having been promised. Exhibits of printing ink, hand- made paper, and early type making are already in place. Several recent contributions have added materially to the educa- tional and artistic value of the collotype exhibit. The Campbell Art Co., of Elizabeth, N. J., donated a technical series showing their method of printing in color, consisting of four plate-glass printing plates, progressive proofs, and the original water color by the Eng- lish artist, Frank Wasley. They also donated several fine reproduc- tions of paintings. Other excellent large examples of the process were received from Foster Bros., of Boston, and from the Medici Society of America (Inc.). Six small prints made in Vienna were donated by Rudolf Lesch, of New York Cit3\ All of these arcj equally fine and the best work being done to-day. The principle upon which this method of printing is based was discovered and patented by Poitevin in 1855, but was not used extensively until about 1870. Albertype, autotype, artotype, helio- type, lichtdruck, indotint, and phototype are some of the names by which the work is known. Photogelatine is a name which is now coming into common use. The collotype process is purely a photomechanical method in which the printing is done directly from a gelatine film. Tliere are no screens, acids, or engraving; the print- ing plate is prepared by exposing a bichromated gelatine, which is either on plate glass or metal, under a negative. This film becomes REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 113 insoluble in proportion to the amount of light allowed to strike it through the negative, and after slight treatment is ready to receive the printer's ink. A print from it gives all the tones and values of the original. Very accurate results are obtained, as the grain is very fine, and in color work where three or four plates are used is but slightly perceptible even under a magnifying glass. The plate has to be damped before it is inked, as in lithography, and is printed on a hand or power press as desired. The results obtained depend largely upon the quality of the negative. The retouching of the negative is the expensive part of the process, but when this is com- pleted, the rest is mechanical. Burnishing, scraping, reetching, or retouching enter into the photomechanical processes, none of which are automatic, as the name might imply. The entire collotype series has been rearranged and brought up to the standard of the other photomechanical exhibits through the courtesy of the above-mentioned firms. Of historical importance are the first prints to come to this country in 1866, made by Tessie du Motay, and numerous other specimens showing the work done in the last 50 years. The other new accessions of importance will be mentioned in re- lation to the rearrangement to which a large part of the year has been devoted. This plan brought like specimens, both technical and historical, together for convenient study. Photogravure was the first subject undertaken. The historical exhibit contains specimens covering almost a hundred years, from 1826 to 1922. The Museum fortunately owns a print from the original plate, which was the first recorded success of engraving by the aid of light, made in 1826 by Joseph Nicephore Niepce. Fox Talbot and Paul Pretsch are well represented by their Avork done in the early fifties; one of Pretsch's original plates is included. There is an example by Mante, 1853, one by Niepce de St. Victor, 1856, and others. The original screen and a print, submitted by Gen. Frederick von Egloffstein in his patent application in 1865, covering the first successful screen process, are in this exhibit. There are many representative examples from 1870 down to the present, all fairly uniform in quality. A few fine examples are printed in color at one impression. Rotagravure work from 1894 to date is shown. At the beginning of this year the halftone exhibit was deficient in the work of foreign countries. Upon request, several English firms supplied examples of their work. John Swain & Sons (Ltd.) and the Half Tone Engraving Co. (Ltd.), both of London, con- tributed about 25 specimens. The English Avork is quiet and ar- tistic, while the American work is apt to be more brilliant. This is 17075—22 8 114 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. shown by comparing English prints with a specimen from the Electro-Tmt Engraving Co., of Philadelphia, "A Basket of Fruit," taken from the objects and giving a remarkably accurate repre- sentation of color and texture. It is very realistic, but not especially artistic, but shows very accurate work on the part of the engraver and printer. The Matthews-Northrup Works, of Buffalo, added 24 specimens of halftone work in color. These, with the work of several other companies, give a good idea of the quality of the work being done in this country at the present time. The historical exhibit extends from 1854 to date, Paul Pretsch's early relief prints probably being the first halftones. The series, however, is not as complete as it should be, and early specimens will be welcome. The technical series is in a more complete form, although little has been added this year. A large and comprehensive exhibit of lithography has been in- stalled showing the history of the process. This method is so dif- ferent from the intaglio or relief methods that a brief history of its development may not be amiss in this report. It was discovered by Alois Senefelder about 1796-1798 and makes it possible to print from a perfectly flat surface. Stone was at first used and still re- mains the best surface to print from, although various metals are now much used. The picture desired is drawn on the smooth sur- face of the stone with a greasy crayon and is firmly attached with a solution of gum arable and dilute nitric acid. It is then ready for the printer, who first wets the stone with water and then rolls it up with printer's ink. The ink is repelled by the moisture in the stone, sticking only to the greasy parts, therefore printing duplicates of the drawing in ink, but, of course, reversed. Another method is to make the drawing on paper, transferring it by pressure to the stone. In this way an exact facsimile of the drawing is obtained in printer's ink. The commercial shops have built up much mystery around this wonderfully simple and artistic process, and while, of course, care has to be exercised, as in all kinds of work, there are no mj^steries about it. The inventor published a book in 1818 de- scribing the process and about everytliing that has been rediscovered since, even to chromo work. Of course, such things as the adoption of poAver presses, offset printing, and photography were not known to him. The earliest print that the division owns dates from 1804 ; several early, rare, and historically valuable prints are by Senefelder himself. A plaster bust of Senefelder was given by The Fuchs & Lang Mfg. Co., of Xew York, and has been placed over one of the cases. Statues of other men who have advanced the graphic arts could be used to advantage in decorating the tops of the cases, as well as to show likenesses of the famous workers. Following the early prints, come examples by the famous workers in lithography REPORT or :N'AT10iSIAL MUSEUM, rj22. 115 down to the present. The technical exhibits of this process are not very prepossessing, although they show the process. This will be changed as soon as opportunity offers. Two improvements were made this year; one, an exhibit made by the writer some years ago, showing a drawing on grained zinc, with proofs, was substituted for an old inartistic exhibit. The other was the addition of a new process of reprinting books without the aid of a camera and without splitting the sheets of paper. The " Manul " process, as it is called, was developed in Switzerland by the Poh'graphic Co., who made a small exhibit consisting of a film, zinc plate, a print, and the original, which was a page of a Smithsonian pamphlet. The reprint is an exact facsimile. The technical cases of lithography have not been moved from the chapel, because there are as yet no cases to take their places. The west end of the main hall now contains all the woodcuts, Avood engravings, engravings, and mezzotints, with the technical specimens, the relief prints on the north side and the intaglio on the south. A photograph of Albrecht Durer's first woodcut, made in 1492, was obtained from Berlin. Howard C. Levis, the author, donated a small sixteenth century wood block and modern proofs from it. This is the only ancient block in the division. He also gave an onginal engraved wood block by Dr. Alexander Anderson, America's first important wood engraver, who was a follower of Bewick. This block is especially interesting, as it is a portrait of George Washington and because the original publication accom- panies it — "The American Orator," by Increase Cooke, published by Sidney's Press for John Babcock & Son, New Haven, 1818. The National Gallery transferred 116 beautiful proofs of American wood engravings, all framed, from the Evans collection. Several have been used and add to the beauty of the exhibit. Courtney C. Allen, a Washington artist, contributed a series showing his method of printing from linoleum blocks. This includes the original draw- ing, the engraved block, and the finished print. This is an entirely new series. At the south side of the main hall are to be found all the exhibits relating to intaglio engraving on metal. No important specimens have been added to this series, but several minor examples are in- cluded from Mr. Huckel's recent gift. Improvements have been made in several series, as, for example, William H. Holmes has given two of his beautiful water colors and Franldin Booth has loaned one of his fine black-and-white drawings, which have raised the standard of the drawing and painting exhibit. It is the desire to secure the very best to improve the technical series and to complete the historical series. A list of the wants is given to show the needs of the division. 116 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. WANTED. Woodcuts prior to 1500. Woodcut by Foster. The first woodcut made in America, about 1669. Early European woodcut blocks. Original blocks by Thomas Bewick and Alexander Anderson. Mezzotints by Ludwig von Siegen and Prince Rupert. Prints in color by Le Blond, Janinet, Debucourt. Examples of the work called " Niello," Etchings by modern Americans. Fine examples of all the different processes. Books printed prior to 1500. Books printed by William Morris. Exhibit of the methods of bookbinding, showing the steps a book goes through before it is ready for the library. It is hoped this list will reach the attention of collectors willing to part with some of their treasures for the benefit of students of art and of printing. The number of specimens received during the year was 740 in graphic arts and 274 in photography, making the total number of objects in the division 21,811. A. J. Olmsted, custodian of the section of photography, makes the following report as to the collections under his charge. SECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHY. The year 1921-22 has brought to the section of photography a notable collection of pictorial photographs from various parts of the world. This was the one subject toward which all efforts were directed. Thirty accessions were received, 10 more than last year. The total number of specimens, 324, however, was reduced to 274 by the return of a loan exhibit of 50 specimens. Special mention will be made of the specimens of importance. Floyd Vail,. F. R. P. S., of New York City, has taken a great interest in the assembling of the pictorial collections, and their success is due largely to his efforts. Six of his artistic prints were received as a gift, and 50 others exhibited for two months, then for- warded to Chicago, 111., to be exhibited there at the Camera Club. This one-man show was a welcome innovation, and it is planned to have others as loan exhibitions are available. Alexander Keighley, of Steeton, near Keighley, England, is one of the few workers in carbon and has contributed seven of his prints to the exhibit. Mr. Keighley has a high standing among picto- rialists. Leonard Misonne, of Gilly, Belgium, whose command of light and beauty of composition is of a high order, has shown five fine bromides. S. Bridgen, F. R. P. S., of Walthamstow, England, REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 117 made a very notable contribution of five prints. His treatment of mass is broad and his lighting is skillfully handled. From Alexandria, Egypt, came four bromoils by J. H. Coats- worth. They are very beautiful and show Mr. Coatsworth's mastery of this difficult process. Three bromoil transfers were the gift of Fred Judge, of Hastings, England. These are the only specimens of this kind in the section and are doubly prized for that reason. Guido Eey, of Turin, Italy, is represented by some of his best work, which is fine in conception and execution. In the portrait field there is some characteristic work by Angus Basil, of London, England, and Nickolas Muray, of New York. Both men put the stamp of originality on their work. Malcolm Arbuthnot, of London, England, gave two charming prints showing his mastery of the pictorial. From Holland were received six platinum prints by Richard Polak, showing in a delightful manner the old seventeenth century costumes and interiors. Mr. Polak is the fortunate possessor of a home of this character, and by his beautiful photographs passes its charm on to all. J. Craig Annan, of Glasgow, Scotland, well laiown in the world of pictorial photography, has sent 12 prints, a number of which were taken in Spain, showing the remains of the Moorish conquest of that country. Several pictorial bromides represent Charles Borup, of London, England, in portraits and figure studies. Two prints, the gift of J. Arthur Lomax, of Cardiff, Wales, will take a high place in the collection. The work of Louis Astrella, of Roxbury, Mass., shows high ideals and beauty of conception and is well represented in portrait, still life, and figure studies. The pictorial collection is now a very important one, represent- ing the best work being done to-day. The work of other artists will be sought, so that all pictorialists of renown may be represented. Thomas A. Banning, of Chicago, 111., continued his interest in the collections by sending five more McDonough color transpar- encies and one print made by this early method of color photography. In an effort to demonstrate the need of a lens of wide aperture for portrait work, John Clacey, of Washington, D. C, furnished three framed portraits, the negatives of which were made with a 9-inch lens of his manufacture. The pleasing roundness and per- spective in these pictures more than proves his point. The accession of 42 autochromes, the gift of Maj. Murray Warner through Mrs. Gertrude Bass Warner, of Eugene, Oreg., was a nota- ble addition to the color series. These transparencies were made 118 RKPORT OF NATIONAL MUSKUM, 1922. by Major Warner at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Fran- cisco and preserve the wonderful color schemes used at that fair. One hundred prints of snow crystals, the work of W. A. Bentley, of Jericho, Vt., make a valued addition to the technical side of the exhibits. These pi(;tures ol" ^noAv crystals by ISIr. r>entley are used the world over in schools and colleges. The prints sent were selected from thousands made during a period of 30 years. The two most beautiful ambrotypes in the collection were lent by Misses Helen A. and Elizabeth Olmsted, of Washington. D. C, and are old family portraits. Framed portraits of George Eastman and Frank S. Noble, sent by the Eastman Kodak Co., of Rochester, X. Y., added to the group of early manufacturers of photographic material. The World, Park Eow, New York, a leader in the advancement of sending illustrative matter by wire, presented a very timely exhibit in the form of a portrait sent by wireless from Rome, Italy, to Bar Harbor, Me., by the method invented by Arthur Korn, of Berlin, Germany. The total niunber of specimens in the collection of this section June 30, 1922, was 4,971, of which number 678 were duplicates. With the installation of this year's accessions the plans set forth in last year's report will have been carried out. The coming year will see additions and a more complete showing of the development of the great motion-picture industr3\ A series of papers will be prepared dealing with the historj^ of the exhibits, the accessions acquired in the past year, and on the aims of the collection that will be acceptable for publication in the photographic journals. REPORT ON THE LOEB COLLECTION OF CHEMICAL TYPES. By F. L. Lewton. In the autumn of 1921 the two steel storage cabinets especially built to preserve the chemical type specimens were turned over to the National Museum by the Chemists' Club of New York City. New blank forms for recorclino- the important scientific data concerning each specimen were printed and a number were sent to the mem- ])ers of the advisory committee, who offered to solicit specimens of chemical-type material for the collection. This committee, as now constituted, consists of Dr. C. L. Alsberg, Food Research Institute, Leland Stanford Junior University, Stanford University, Calif., chairman; Dr. Victor Lenher, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis. ; James K, Senior, Cincinnati, Ohio ; Dr. G . C. Spencer, representing the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture; and the writer (F. L. Lewton), representing the National Museum and in charge of the collection. A portion of the original material of each of seven new chemical compounds discovered and prepared in the division of chemistrj''. United States Department of Agriculture, were transferred to the National Museum, accessioned in the regular manner, and entered in the catalogue of the Loeb Collection of Chemical Types. Under the direction of Doctor Spencer, of the advisory committee, repre- senting the Bureau of Chemistr3^ these specimens were placed in specially made glass tubes, which were then exhausted of air and sealed off in order to preserve for as long as possible the specimen in its original condition. Dr. Oscar Hedenberg, of the Mellon Institute, Pittsburgh, Pa., was authorized to work up for the Loeb collection the original ma- terial representing the discoveries of the late Dr. John U. Nef, which is now in Doctor Hedenberg's hands. With the assistance of Mr. Senior, of the advisory committee, agreements were made with the editors of the Journal of the American Chemical Society and the Journal of Biological Chem- istry that advance notices of the publication of new chemical com- pounds in these journals would be sent to the Museum, in order that prompt solicitation could be made to the discoverer for his con- tribution of the chemical type material to the Loeb collection. With facilities now at hand for properly caring for specimens of chemical-type material and with the many promises of specimens from many chemical investigators, it is hoped that a large number of additions may be made to the Loeb collection during the coming year. 119 REPORT ON THE DIVISION OF HISTORY. By T. T. Belote, Curator. COMPARISON OF INCREMENT OF SPECIMENS OF 1921-22 WITH THAT OF 1920-21. The amount of historical material received during the past year compares favorably with that received during the preceding year. While the number of accessions and specimens received is slightly smaller, the material received is more evenly distributed among the various sections of the division and is, on the whole, of more histori- cal importance than that received during the previous year. ACCESSIONS DESERVING SPECIAL NOTICE. As has been the case for the past few years, many of the im- portant accessions for the fiscal year 1922 relate to the World War. In this connection the following interesting exhibits have been re- ceived : The American flag which, after receiving military honors in the Sorbonne in the presence of President Poincare, was flown with a French flag at the summit of the Eiffel Tower and saluted with 101 guns April 22, 1917, in celebration of the entry of the United States into the World War on the side of the Allies, This flag was pre- sented by the French ambassador, M. Jusserand, to President Hard- ing at the White House on Decoration Day, May 30, 1922, and de- posited in the Museum through the War Department. A series of very handsome silk American flags presented to Gen. John J. Persh- ing in recognition of his services as commander in chief of the American Expeditionary Forces in France during the World War and lent by him to the Museum. This series includes a flag presented by the ladies of Chaumont, inscribed in gold, " Au General en Chef des Armees Americaines. Les Dames de la Ville de Chaumont." The arms of the town are beautifully embroidered in the lower left- hand corner of the flag, and the tip of the staif is ornately in- scribed " R. F." A second exquisitely decorated flag, presented to General Pershing in France is one inscribed as follows : " Le Dau- phine Patrie de Bayard le Chevalier sans peur et sans reproche a I'Armee Americaine combattant en France pour la defense de la Justice et de la Liberte. Vaincre ou se soumettre ! " The collection includes also a number of other American flags presented to General Pershing in France and a number of exceedingly handsome flags 121 122 REPORT OF NATIONAI. MUSEUM, 1022. presented to him in the United States. The latter include flags pre- sented by the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America, the Grand Lodge of the State of Pennsylvania of the Sons of Italy in America, the city of Philadelphia, and the city of New York. In the same connection may verj- appropriately be mentioned a series of the national flags of the nations which participated in the Conference on the Limitation of Armament, which met in Wash- ington during the winter of 1921-22. These flags, representing the following countries, the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, riapan, Belgium, the Netherlands, China, and Portugal, were in- stalled in Continental Memorial Hall during the deliberations of the conference. These flags, Avhich constitute a notable historical re- minder of the conference, are of silk and measure 5 by 8 feet in size. The}'^ were received from Col. C. O. Sherrill, officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, and have been installed in a special Avail case in the north hall of the Arts and Industries Building of the Museum in close proximity to other historical relics of national importance. Of special interest in connection with the war collection is an illumi- nated acknowledgment presented by the Italian Government in recog- nition of the award by joint resolution of Congress, approved October 12, 1921, of the congressional medal of honor to the Italian unknown soldier Avhose body was buried at Rome with suitable ceremonies January 18, 1922. The certificate of acknowledgment was contained in an artistically designed leather case inscribed, " To the military mission of the United States of America during the presentation in Rome to the memory of the Italian unknown soldier of the congres- sional medal decreed by the Federal Government by act of October 12, 1921." The additions to the war collection of much historical and scientific value included tAvo sectional relief maps of northern France, one made of papier-mache and one of plaster. The first of these consists of eight sections, 22 by 27 inches in size, showing when united the territory bordering the British battle front from Dun- kerque to Amiens. The second consists of 111 sections, each 19 by 25 inches in size, and showing the region of French front from Vermand to Courgenay in great detail. These tAvo maps Avere presented by Marshal Haig and Marshal Petain, respectiA^ely, to the Hon. Medill McCormick and by him presented to the Museum. A number of objects of exceptional interest relating to the World War were received from the United States Marine Corps. Of special importance in this connection is a relief map of the region about Belleau Wood, showing in great detail the surroundings of the first great engagement of the World War in which American troops participated on a large scale. The model is about 18 feet square. Highways, fields, forests, and \ illages are shown upon its ItEPORT OV NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1022. 128 surface in a verj' graphic and striking manner. The original topo- graphical map was made by a small part}' of officers and enlisted men of the United States Marine Corps, under the command of Maj. Charles D, Barrett, during the autumn of 1919, before the devastated region had been restored. Great care and accuracy were exercised in its construction; each house and town was sketched and modeled on the ground, and the result is an exact copy of the original dwellings as they existed during the engagement. The scale of the map is 1 : 1200, or 1 inch on the map represents 100 feet on the ground, the total area shown covering about 13 square miles. The Marine Corps has also lent to the Museum in the same connec- tion six battle flags carried during the World War by Marine Corps units and a set of 12 uniforms, with decorations and ac- cessories, 6 of which represent the commissioned officers and 6 of AV'hich represent the enlisted personnel of that organization. The numismatic section of the war collection has been enriched by the addition of a set of the medals issued by the following States in recognition of service during that conflict : Delaware, Missouri, New Jersey, New Hampshire. New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Wyoming. These medals have been presented to the Museum by the States by which they were issued. Through the courtesj^ of the United States Commission of Fine Arts, Charles Moore, chairman, sets of the medals and deco- rations issued by the Governments of Belgium, Great Britain, Italy, and Portugal in recognition of services during the war have been received as the gift of the Governments mentioned. These include the following: The continental medal of 1914 and 1911r-15, the overseas medal, the victoiy medal, and the mercantile marine medal of Great Britain; the military cross, the military medal, the war cross, the medal of the Yser, the commemorative medal, and the victory medal of Belgium ; the cross of the Military Order of Savoy, the military valor silver medal, the war cross, the national gratitude medal, and the national commemorative medal of Italy; and the silver campaign medal, the war cross, and the victory medal of Portugal. A small but interesting collection of European coins issued during the war has been presented by Douglas N. Starr, and ii collection of the most interesting types of paper currency issued in Germany during the same period has been secured by purchase. The additions to the historical collections relating to periods other than that of the World War have been equal in every respect to those of tliis character received during the previous fiscal year. The biographical collections have been increased by a number of very valuable specimens, among which are the following: A sword carried by General Washington during the War of the Revolution, a gold-headed cane bequeathed to him by Benjamin Franklin, and a 124 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. dress sword carried by Maj. Gen. Andrew Jackson during the War of 1812-1815. The Washington sword, which is said to have been the one most frequently carried by the owner during the period men- tioned, has a plain curved blade and a grooved ivory handle. This weapon was made by J. Bailey, of Fishkill, N. Y., and was bequeathed by the general to his nephew, Samuel Washington, whose son, Samuel T, Washington, presented it to Congress in 1844. The cane owned by Franklin and bequeathed by him to Washington was be- queathed by the latter to his brother, Charles Washington, and was presented to Congress by Samuel T. Washington at the same time as the sword described above. The sword owned by General Jackson was presented to Congress in 1855 by the family of Maj. Gen. Robert Armstrong, to whom it had been presented by General Jack- son. These three objects of priceless historical value, connected as they were with three of the most notable personages of American history, were transferred to the custody of the National Museum from that of the Department of State by a joint resolution of Con- gress- approved February 28, 1922. From the same department, by transfer, was also received during the past year the small writing desk used by Thomas Jefferson when he drafted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia in 1776, which bears a memorandum in his own hand attesting to the history of the desk and presenting the same to Joseph Coolidge, jr., in 1825, a pair of eyeglasses owned by Washington and presented by him to General Lafayette, the stem of a peace pipe smoked by Washington with an Indian chief in 1748, three buttons from the French court dress of Benjamin Franklin, and a gold medal studded with diamonds which was pre- sented by the Sultan of Turkey to the President of the United States in 1892 in commemoration of the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America. In addition to the objects already described, the biographical collec- tions were enriched by the accession of a pocket compass owned by President James Monroe, lent to the Museum by Mrs. Rose Gouverneur Hoes; a number of personal relics of Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, the gift of the Hon. George B. McClellan ; and a collection of decora- tions, gold, silver, and bronze medals, awarded to David Edward Hughes in recognition of his scientific achievements, which includes the Order of the Iron Crown of Austria, the Order of Saint Michael of Bavaria, the Order of Leopold of Belgium, the Order of the Legion of Honor of France, the Order of Saint Maurice and Saint Lazarus of Italy, the Order of Saint Anne of Russia, the Order of Takova of Serbia, the Order of Charles III of Spain, and the Order of the Mejidieh of Turkey. The medals include the gold medal of the Society of Arts, Manufacture, and Commerce; the royal gold medal of the Royal Society, London; and the gold medal of the REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 125 Universal Exposition, Paris, 1867. This interesting collection was bequeathed to the Smithsonian Institution bj^ Anna Chadbourne Hughes. An object of exceptional biographical interest received during the past year is a Japanese sword of honor which was pre- sented by the Mikado to the Hon. E. Peshine Smith in 1875 in recog- nition of the latter's services in connection with the post of diplo- matic adviser to the Japanese Government, which he filled from 1871 to 1876. The portrait collection of historical personages has been increased by the following specimens : A portrait of Joseph Priestley, by Albert Rosenthal from the original by Gilbert Stuart, which was presented to the Museum by the American Chemical Society; a portrait of Abraham Lincoln by W. Cogswell, the gift of Dr. George M. Kober; and a portrait of James Schouler, by Thomas C. Corner, lent by the American Historical Association. The additions to the costumes collection during the past year in- clude a costume worn by Mrs. Andrew Jackson, jr., the wife of the adopted son of President Jackson, on the occasion of a reception given in her honor at the Wliite House in 1831. This most interest- ing relic of one of the mistresses of the White House has been lent by her daughter, Mrs. Eachael Jackson Lawrence, of the Hermitage Association. The naval collections have been increased by the following inter- esting mementos of the early history of the Navy: The flag flown on the U. S. brig Enterprise during the action between that ship and the British ship Boxer off the coast of Maine, September 5, 1813, when the Boxer was captured after a short and bloody conflict in which both the American and British commanding officers were killed. This flag is one of the few colors in existence representing the design of 15 stars and 15 stripes, and the only other example of such a flag in the Museum is the Star-Spangled Banner. The flag of the Enterprise was presented to the Museum by George G. Quincy and Charles F. Quincy. A second naval relic of great interest re- ceived during the past fiscal year is the log book of the U. S. S. Spark during the period of 1819-20. One of the pages of this manuscript volume, which is the gift of I. B. Millner, bears the signature of Admiral David G. Farragut, written when he was a midshipman. The numismatic material of the division has been increased by a number of valuable additions. Of particular interest is a series of United States commemorative coins, including the Pilgrim tercen- tenary half dollar issued 1921, the Missouri centennial half dollar issued 1921, the Ulysses S. Grant memorial silver half dollar and gold dollar issued 1922, the Alabama centennial silver half dollar issued 1921, all received as a loan from Douglas N. Starr. Mr. Starr has also added to his already exceptionally interesting collection of 126 REPORT OF NATIOJ^AL MUSEUM, 1922. such material in the Museum the following fine specimens of Ameri- can coins: A Bechtler gold dollar, a gold quarter eagle issued 1907 and a gold quarter eagle issued 1908, a gold eagle issued 1907, two silver dollars issued 1921, one representing the old design and one representing the new design of that year. To the collection of American decorations were added two ex- amples of the bronze medal recently designed for presentation to officers of the United States Marine Corps who have been awarded brevet commissions for distinguished conduct and public service in the presence of the enemy. From the National Rifle Association of America, through Brig. Gen. Fred H. Phillips, jr., secretary of the association, was received an almost complete set of the medals, badges, buttons, clasps, and ribbons of the association. The collec- tion of copies of scientific medals of award has been increased by the addition of replicas of the Mary Clark Thompson gold medal, awarded by the National Academy of Sciences to Dr. Charles D. Walcott for researches in geology and paleontology, and the gold medal awarded by that society to Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles for eminence in the application of science to the public welfare. These two medals have been lent by the National Academy of Sciences. A number of interesting and artistic commemorative medals have been received, among which are medals commemorating the following events: The centennial anniversary of the University of Virginia, 1919; the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters, 1920; the visit of Marshal Foch to the United States, 1921 ; and the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the firm of John Wanamaker, 1921 ; the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Royal Academy of Bel- gium, 1922; and the unveiling of a monument to Gen. Jose de Ur- quiza at Buenos Aires, 1920. Copies were also received of the gold medal presented by the school children of the United States to Mar- shal Foch, 1922, and of the medal issued by the Century Association and American Numismatic Society in commemoration of the career of Joseph Hodges Choate (1832-1917) and of the Kiwanis Club service medal, Pennsylvania district. From the American medalist, Adam Pietz, was received a collection of commemorative and decora- tive medals, plaques, and medalets designed bj'^ the donor. The col- lection includes pqrtrait medals of Franklin, Marshall, Decatur, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. During the past fiscal year, the philatelic collections have been increased by 5,074 specimens, consisting of recent foreign issues re- ceived by the Post Office Department from the Bureau of the Inter- national Postal Union, Berne, Switzerland, and transferred to the Museum by that department. REPORT or NATIOJN'AL MUSEUM, 1922. 127 WOBK OF PRESERVING AND INSTALLING THE COLLECTIONS PRESENT CONDITION OF THE COLLECTIONS. During the past fiscal year every branch of the historical collec- tions has received attention in connection with the work of preserv- ing and installing the materials concerned. This has been rendered possible by the lull in the amount of material received during the past year as compared with that received in previous years in con- nection with the AVorld War and, in the case of the philatelic ma- terial, by the appointment of a successor to Joseph B. Leavy, de- ceased, whose position as philatelist in the Museum was vacant from the time of his death, July 25, 1921, to Januai-y 3, 1922, when his successor, Mrs. Catherine L. Manning, was appointed. In every case the principal aim of the work in this connection has been to render the exhibition series more homogeneous in character, to reduce over- crowding, to improve appearances from the artistic point of view, and to protect the storage series from the incursion of moths and other destructive insects. The most notable work in this connection as regards the anti- (juarian collections has been the installation of the John B. Copp collection of New England antiquities in a large wall case, three slope-top cases, and two floor cases on the west end of the west gallery of the Arts and Industries Building. The materials in this collection, Mdiich includes costumes, textiles, household ware, pictorial and printed material, have been classified and exhibited by classes in such a manner as to show the character of the exhibit as a whole at a glance, and also to render the individual portions of the collec- tion available for close inspection and study. This is one of the most complete and interesting collections of the kind in existence, and the present arrangement is the most satisfactory one devised for its exhibition since its presentation to the Museum in 1894. Other portions of the antiquarian collections have been reinstalled, and special attention has been devoted to the cleaning of this class of material. Many of tlie biographical collections have been completely rein- stalled, and all have been thoroughly cleaned and renovated. Of special interest in this connection has been the installation in a single case of the relics of Capt. Edward Trenchard, United States Navy (1784-1824), and Eear Admiral Stephen Decatur Trenchard (1818-1883). The David Edward Hughes collection of decora- tions and medals have been given a special installation, and other biographical collections have been suitably installed. The overcrowded condition of the costumes hall has precluded a complete rearrangement of this hall, which is very much needed. This is particularly true in connection with the textiles and dresses installed in the wall cases, nearlv all of which are verv much over- 128 EEPORT OF NATIONAL. MUSEUM, 1922. crowded. The only remedy for this condition is the assignment of a larger hall for this collection or the removal of some of the less important exhibits to make room for the more important ones. Dur- ing the past fiscal year a new figure has been installed in the series bearing the dresses of the mistresses of the White House for the exhibition of the dress worn by Mrs. Andrew Jackson, jr. Notable progress has been made during the past year in connec- tion with the installation and preservation of the military collec- tions. Exceptionally large and important additions have been made to the floor space, both for exhibition and storage space. The num- ber of exhibition cases has been increased by the addition of 14 standard-sized wall alcove cases and 6 remodeled Jamestown slope- top cases. These have been installed in the gallery of the southeast range of the Arts and Industries Building, one-half of which has been assigned to the division of history and one-half to the division of medicine. The tAvo spaces have been divided by a partition which will serve for the installation of wall cases or of pictorial material. This additional exhibition hall is not yet in condition to be opened to the public. The storage facilities of the division have been improved by the erection of standard storage racks against three walls of a large room on the east side of the Arts and Industries Building. These racks have been utilized for the storage of the collection of uni- forms of the United States Army for which exhibition space is not at present available. The storage series in other locations have been thorouglily overhauled and inspected. The collection of American historical medals has been installed in a series of slope-top cases along the north wall of the northwest range of the Arts and Industries Building. These cases are exceed- ingly well adapted to an installation of this character, and it is pro- posed to include with the American medals a series of European medals at an early date. The collection of foreign war decorations, relating for the most part to the period of the World War, formerly installed in two cases in the Natural History Building, has been re- installed in four cases in the same location. This change has afforded an opportunity for a logical scientific arrangement, which was for- merly lacking on account of lack of necessary space, and also has enabled the various units of the collection to be installed with suit- able intervening spaces, a condition essential to the artistic appear- ance of the collection as a whole. A number of other changes have been made in the installation of the historical collections in the Natural History Building with a view to rendering this exhibit more homogeneous in character. A single slope-top case in the coin and medal hall in the Arts and Industries Building has been devoted REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. 129 to the exceptionally fine collection of the United States gold and silver coins lent by Douglas N. Starr. A notable work in this con- nection has been the mounting on boards of the British Museum col- lection of electrotypes of ancient Greek and Eoman gold and silver coins. This collection, which had not previously been satisfactorily installed on account of a lack of room, will now be arranged for exhibition purposes in accordance with the exhibit in the British Museum, which affords an opportunity for the study of the develop- ment of the ancient coinages both from the point of view of history and art, the two most important phases of this subject. During the past fiscal year a complete reinstallation of the phila- telic material in the exhibition cabinet has been initiated. This was rendered necessary by the additions to the cabinet described in the last annual report, by the magnitude of the recent issues of stamps, and by the decision to unite all the stamps belonging to a single country, whether issued during the nineteenth or the twentieth century. Owing to the growth of the collection, the decision was also reached to change the geographical arrangement of the countries, tentatively adopted when the stamps were first installed, to a strictly alphabetical arrangement. The latter will, it is felt, render the exhibit more accessible to the average collector and increase the ease with which individual specimens can be located. In accordance with this scheme the stamps of the United States have been installed as a unit on the west end of the cabinet, and satisfactory progress has been made in connection with the work of installing the foreign stamps in accordance with the new arrangement which, it is hoped, will be completed during the coming fiscal year. Much has also been accomplished in connection with the installa- tion and the preservation of the war collection. Efforts have been made to render the exhibits relating to the recent conflict more homogeneous in character and to preclude any damage or deteriora- tion of those portions of the collection in storage. With these ob- jects in view, many of the war exhibits in both the Arts and Indus- tries and the Natural History Buildings have been entirely rein- stalled and the storage materials thoroughly inspected. RESEARCHES. The work outlined under this head in the previous annual report, as indicated there in connection with the reclassification of the rec- ords of the division, has been practically completed. The division, as the result of this undertaking, now possesses — with a few excep- tions— a complete record of all the materials in its care. These records represent original work in this connection and will form the basis for all future undertakings of this character and for any published catalogue of the collections which it may become feasible 17075—22 9 130 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1922. to issue. Four articles by the curator have been published in the Daughters of American Eevolution Magazine during the year on war medals of the American Revolution, military and naval medals of the War of 1812-1815, naval medals of the United States, 1800- 1815, and military medals of the War with Mexico and the Civil War. The usual number of inquiries concerning the historical materials have been received and much information along this line has been furnished for the benefit of researches in historical museum material in other fields. In many instances the data furnished has been accompanied by photographs of objects connected with the work under discussion. NUMBER OF SPECIMENS IN THE DIVISION. The number of objects received by the division of history during the year was 6,455. This brings the total of specimens in the care of the division on June 30, 1922, up to 293,054.
