ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR.

1896-1897.

To the Trustees of the Field Columbian Museum :

I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the
Museum for the year closing September 30, 1897. It is difficult to
summarize in a paragraph an adequate idea of the result of the work.
It has been uniform, steady and progressive. The physical condi-
tions of the institution, although very much altered, rearranged and
improved, show but a small part of the actual labor performed.
Much of the scientific work has been of a nature that is not
apparent to the casual observer and is concealed, as a matter of
fact, from even the more critical visitors. The work in the lab-
oratories and the constant application of time and study in the
task of identification, inventorying, cataloguing and labeling have
pushed these essential features of Museum work distinctly forward
and brought the detail records of material within useful distance.
The vast amount of this important labor suddenly devolving upon
the Museum staff, as it did at the opening of the Museum, would
have dismayed those less earnest and confident. The -work is unin-
teresting, plodding and tiresome, with nothing that appeals to the
student and expert or stimulates him to effort. The general appear-
ance of the Museum has been improved and the outward form of its
installation has assumed a more symmetrical and effective appearance;
better harmony of arrangement prevails ; a closer observance of the
classification is apparent; weak points have been strengthened and
strong points emphasized. The steadiness and uniformity of progress
in all directions presents the most gratifying retrospect.

Several changes in the personnel of the staff have occurred during
the year. The Departments of Geology -and Economic Geology
have been united and Mr. Nichols, heretofore Curator of the latter
Department, has been made Assistant Curator of the Department
of Geology, of which Mr. Farrington remains the head. The
Departments of Industrial Arts and of Monographic Collections have
been abolished and most of the material is transferred to Anthropology.
Mr. W. H. Holmes, Curator of Anthropology, resigned to accept a

similar position in the National Museum, and Mr. George A. Dorsey,
whose range of equipment covers all the divisions of the Depart-
ment, has been placed in charge as Acting Curator. Mr. S. E. Meek,
well known for his work on the United States Fish Commission, has
been appointed Assistant Curator of the Department of Zoology,
except Ornithology. The office of Librarian and Recorder having
been divided for the betterment of the service, Mr. J. Dieserud has
been appointed Librarian and Mr. D..C. Davies, Recorder.

INCOME AND MAINTENANCE.—By direction of the Executive Com-
mittee the Director’s income and maintenance budget, which hereto-
fore has covered the calendar year, was made to cover only the
period between January 1, 1897, and September 30, 1897, with
instructions thereafter to present an estimate of the income and
expenses of maintenance for each year beginning October 1. The
nine months’ estimate for maintenance from January 1 to September
30 of this year was $74,245; income from all sources for the same
period was $49,887. These estimates anticipated a deficit of $24,358,
which it was believed would result from the operations of the institu-
tion owing to the increased expenditures provided for in its scientific
work. The actual income did not vary materially from the estimate,
due, of course, to the fact that the income is largelyafixed one. The
actual expenditures, however, were $66,614, showing a gratifying
saving in the budget of $7,635, so that the net deficit for the nine
months is $16,723. This, it is of course understood, is with relation
to maintenance. Additional sums expended by authority of the Exec-
utive Committee are apparent in the accompanying Financial State-
ment.

THE MemeersuHips.—Ihe annual memberships for the year have
decreased slightly, ascribable to the fact that no special effort has
been made to increase the number. The present list of annual
members consists of those who have renewed their membership and
the few who have voluntarily applied for membership. All persons
who had contributed the sum of $500 or more in cash to the institution
were elected life members by the Board of Trustees. This included:
those upon whose gift of World’s Columbian Exposition stock a divi-
dend amounting to $500 or more had been paid. Certificates of this
membership were prepared and issued during the year, and the list of
these members appears in its proper place in this report.

Lecture Course.—Two series of lectures have been given since
the last annual report, illustrated in most cases, and covering an
unusually wide range of research and travel. The first of these, the

Oct. ‘3897. ANNUAL REpoRT OF THE DIRECTOR. 175

Sixth Lecture Course, was rendered more than ordinarily interesting
and instructive by the contributions of gentlemen of distinguished
ability in the particular lines of thought reflected in their discourses. .
The Seventh Lecture Course was presented entirely by the Curators
of the Museum, as is the case with the course now in progress. The
sixth course given during the months of September and October,
1896, comprised eight lectures:

The attendance was very large at all of these lectures, and in
several instances numbers were unable to gain admission. The
capacity of the lecture hall is inadequate and its ventilation very poor.
There are obvious reasons why these lectures should be continued in
the Museum Building, but that their sphere of usefulness and their
educational results are much contracted by reason of the size and
arrangement of the lecture hall is without doubt. The stereopticon is
lighted by electricity, and the reflections are much more brilliant and
distinct than has heretofore been the case. A new reading lamp with
modern appliances also adds much to the comfort and satisfaction of
the lecturers. There are on hand, classified by lectures, 1,060 slides
as follows:

A marked improvement has been made in the handling of the
mailing list, thereby doing away with the classification cards, the
geographical list being the only card catalogue necessary in the sys-
tem. The geographical list is arranged alphabetically, as usual.

178 Fietp Co_tumMpian MusEuM—ReEports, VOL. 1.

The addressed cards are numbered consecutively upon the upper left-
hand corner, while the classification of the address and the series of
publications it is entitled to are indicated at the right. On the back
of the card is stamped the date and number of any publication sent,
and when acknowledgment is received the card is so stamped as
regards the publication sent and acknowledged. The names are
printed on the mailing list in classified order, and the number given
each address is printed with it. In sending out a publication the
number of that address is typewritten on the acknowledgment before
it is placed in the publication. The number is quite a time-saver and
prevents confusion, for if it is returned by the recipient of the publi-
cation without a name the number alone tells who or what insti-
tution it is from. This number refers directly to the card desired.
Again, this number shows what card to credit as having received the
publication sent, irrespective of whose name is written thereon, for
sometimes the number on the acknowledgment belongs to an institu-
tion, yet there is only an individual’s name signed, or written so
indistinctly that it cannot be read. The single card catalogue dis-
penses with the work of looking up the address and finding out to
what class an address belongs. When the back of the card is covered
with publications a slip of strong white paper is pasted across the top,
and both sides of the paper are filled, a process that can be repeated as
often as necessary. In regard to the distribution of the publications,
the table below shows the number and classes of foreign and domes-
tic addresses. A comparison is also made with the number distrib-
uted last year. ?

The distribution to foreign countries is accomplished through the
Bureau of International Exchanges of the Smithsonian Institution.

The fifth edition of the guide is in press and will be ready for
the public by November r.

Ligrary.—The library contains 8,062 books and 7,680 pamph-
lets, distributed as follows: General Library, 6,341 books and 5,130
pamphlets ; Department of Geology, 965 books and 2,500 pamphlets ;
Department of Ornithology, 368 books ; Department of Botany, 216
books and 50 pamphlets ; Department of Zoology, 172 books. The
additions during the fiscal year were 787 books and 1,426 pamphlets,
making a total of 2,213 titles, as against 1,835 for the preceding year.
This is very satisfactory, considering the fact that only 132 books and
14 pamphlets have been added by purchase. The additions derived
from exchanges showed a marked decrease during the first part of the
present year, reaching the low number of 70 titles for the month of
March. Some 420 letters were, however, mailed to institutions and
scientists receiving the publications of the Museum, resulting in the
establishment of some very valuable exchanges, and making the addi-
tions average nearly 300 titles per month for the last three months.
The number of periodicals subscribed to is 40, the number re-
ceived in exchange or as gift being 52, exclusive of: proceedings and
transactions of societies. A list of the accessions to the library accom-
panies this report. The work of cataloguing the resources of the lib-
rary has progressed steadily. The author catalogue has been kept up
to date and was carefully revised in order to be utilized in preparing
the typewritten subject catalogue, of which some 5,000 cards have
been written. The shelf list has been kept up to date and cards
added for some 2,000 pamphlets not previously catalogued. A card
catalogue of the accumulated duplicates was prepared and has been
issued as the Second Annual Exchange Catalogue of the Museum.
Collaboration has been rendered on a Union List of periodicals for
the libraries of Chicago. It is to be printed in the near future, and
“will be a very valuable aid to the staff of the Museum when wishing
to consult magazines and other scientific serials not on the shelves of

180 FirLp CoLumMBIAN Mus—EuM—ReEports, VOL. I.

the Museum library. Three installments of the duplicate copy of the
John Crerar Library catalogue, mentioned in the last report, have
been received and the cards arranged in alphabetical order. It will be
of great use to the staff and will prevent the duplicating of expensive
books already to be found in that library. The permission secured
from the Chicago Public Library to draw out reference books has
been quite frequently made use of. The reference books in the Gen-
eral Library are constantly used by the staff, and a marked increase
has been shown of late in the number of visitors availing themselves
of the opportunity to consult the books. This is, however, evidently
chiefly due to the prize essays now in preparation by pupils of the
Chicago Public schools.

Recorps.—The records have been much improved during the past
year, especially in the introduction of a new index and a new system for
recording incoming and outgoing material. The historical jackets
have all been checked and re-arranged, and any confusion of data that
prevailed at the time of the last report has disappeared. By the sys-
tem now in operation the expenses of this department have been con-
siderably reduced, while the service seems to be very satisfactory.
The amount of material received through the customs has not been
large, but sufficient to require close attention on the part of the
Recorder. The officers of the custom house have been very.accom-
modating, and the furnishing of careful instructions to consignors
and the better knowledge of the requirements at this port on the part
of regular correspondents have assisted in the dispatch of business of
this character.

DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORY AND LABELING.—As intimated
at the introduction of this report, this very important feature of the
work of the Museum has been pushed with all possible vigor through
the entire year. Allof the departments report gratifying progress in
this uninteresting but valuable work. In the Department of Anthro-
pology a great deal of labor has been expended in this particular line
of duty, more especially in the last four months. “There were prac-
tically no records of this department when the Museum was opened,
and probably more material has been received by this department
than by any other, thus constantly demanding the attention of the
Curator and his assistants to care for the new work, until at one
time it looked as if confusion confronted the records of the depart-
ment. Realizing the prime necessity of putting the records into
intelligent shape, additional clerical assistance was provided, and
the work has been earnestly pushed for the better part of this year,
and especially for the past four months. With the work already in

hand, provision for the discharge of which has been made, the de-
partment may be said to be in satisfactory condition in so far as
identification, numbering and inventorying are concerned. In the
Zoological Department a large amount of this work, mostly clerical,
remains to be done, for the reason that hitherto work has been con-
fined to the identification and arrangement of material. When
assistance is provided the work of inventorying may be done rapidly
and without interruption. The Departments of Botany and of Geology
have kept pace with the receipt of new material, which is largely all
that was called for from those departments, because the work was so
well in hand at the time of the last report. A large amount of new
labeling has been done in the Ornithological Department. The
year’s work in the Museum on catalogues and-inventories is shown
in detail:

Accessions.—The accessions of material have been very gratify-
ing. All the agencies employed have given excellent returns, and all
of the departments seem to have shared in the results. In the
Department of Anthropology, in addition to the results of the Dorsey
expedition to the northwest, not yet on exhibition, may be mentioned
the continued contribution of Mr. Allison V. Armour in archeologi-
cal specimens, including notable sculptures, vessels and ornaments
in stone and terra cotta, and interesting examples in copper, clay,
shells, etc. A highly prized addition to the archeology of Europe
consisted of several hundred Etruscan antiques of earthenware and
bronze excavated under the supervision of Prof. Frothingham, in
1895—1896.' This collection includes many rare examples of Etruscan
art, including a restored funeral couch of bone and ivory, which was
found some years ago in a tomb at Orvieto. The collection was pur-
chased for the Museum by Mr. C. L. Hutchinson. Mr. W. M. Petrie,
of London, has presented the Museum with very interesting examples
of Egyptian antiquities in terra cotta and stone, including fragments
of stone vessels, statues, etc. Another very desirable contribution
to the Department of Anthropology consisted of specimens provided
by Mr. Clarence B. Moore, of Philadelphia, including vessels, cups,

182 FIELD CoOLUMBIAN MusEUM—REports, VOL, 1.

shell ornaments, fragments of pottery, earthen vases, etc., from
Georgia and Florida. Among the purchases for this department
may be mentioned three lots obtained of Mr. Gustavus Goward,
consisting of bowls, strainers, cloths, instruments, shells, mats, etc.,
from Samoa; eighteen casts of trepanned Peruvian skulls, purchased
of Mr. D. W. Gill, of Washington. There were added to the ethno-
logical material of this department 161 specimens collected by the
Museum’s African expedition. The accessions in the Department of
Geology have been obtained chiefly through exchanges with individ-
uals and institutions. This has been made possible by the careful
selection of duplicates from material already on hand, and the results
have been generally satisfactory. Of new material so obtained may
be mentioned a series of the minerals of Utah, containing fine speci-
mens of Topaz, Olivenite, Utahite, etc.; a series from Hackberry
Grove, Iowa, fossils from the Hamilton group; a collection of crys-
tallized copper from Lake Superior, received from The University of
Chicago; a number of specimens of lava, serpentine, onyx and build-
ing stone received from the United States National Museum, and a
collection of minerals from the State University of Arkansas. The
meteorite collection has received notable additions, principally through
exchange. Specimens of eighteen falls, not before represented, have
been acquired, as well as large sections of the rare Smith’s Mountain
and Deep Springs farm siderites. A meteorite was obtained from
Mexico, of which the Museum possesses the entire mass. It is as yet
undescribed. The total number of falls now represented in this col-
lection is 198. A valuable collection of local fossils has been received
from J. W. Beardsley. These were largely collected on the Drainage
Canal. Several slabs haye been given for the marble collection by
various marble concerns of the country. The collection given by
the Boston and Colorado Smelting Company illustrates the process
of smelting gold and silver and copper as practiced in Colorado at the
Argo smelter, is a valuable addition. A fine series of photographs,
illustrating mines and mining machinery employed at Real Del
Monte, Mexico, was received through the kindness of Senor Carlos
F. Landero. Excellent specimens of Allophane and Indianaite have
been received from the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago Railroad,
and the Georgia Railroad has donated various specimens of econ-
omic products found along its line. The purchase of a Fuess reflect-
ing goniometer has made possible original crystallographic work, and
investigations in this line are now being carried on by the Curator.
In the Department of Ornithology the additions to the collection have
been largely by expedition and purchase, although a number of valu-

Ocr. 1897. ANNUAL Report OF THE DIRECTOR. 183

able gifts appear in the list of accessions. The department collected
in Florida, Texas and southern I\linois nearly 1,000 skins during the
year. The African expedition contributed 296 specimens from Somalli-
Land and Ogaden. There have been added by purchase from ditfer-
ent collectors over 1,300 skins, about equally divided in number
between North America and Central and South America. In the
Department of Zoology there have been added since the last report
193 mammal skins and 22 skeletons, 115 specimens of fishes and 30
specimens of reptilia, collected by the African expedition. The depart-
ment has also received by collection for its division of Entomology
about 6,000 specimens, mostly from Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Florida. By exchange with the Natural History Museums of Paris
and London some very rare mammals have been obtained: and valu-
able collections have been presented to the division of Ichthyology
by the Assistant Curator of the department. The valuable series of
fishes obtained by the African expedition contained some species
which were new to science and others very rare. The Museum has
also purchased a number of very rare mammal skins and two collec-
tions of shells, corals, etc. Ringling Brothers presented the Museum
with several skins and skeletons, anda large amount of miscellaneous
material has been added to the possessions of this department from
various sources. Among the notable collections obtained by the
Botanical Department during the past year are Pringle’s Mexican
Plants, Palmer’s Durango collection, Nash’s and Pollard’s Florida
and Mississippi plants, the Sandberg Idaho collection, Gaumer’s
last Yucatan species, Jenman’s British Guiana and Rusby’s Orinoco
collections; Schlechter’s South African species, the complete lichen
herbarium of Calkins and the important personal herbarium of the
late Dr. Schott. The herbarium of Dr. Schott, as the mounting and
distribution proceeds, proves to be of far greater value and interest
than was at first supposed. Beside the Yucatan plants (some 960
numbers collected by him during the years 1884 and 1886, and as yet
unpublished) are his Panama Canal survey and Mexican boundary
survey collections, both of the greatest value to botanists and stu-
dents. The Old World plants in his herbarium also prove of great
value, being very abundant in the Flora of Eastern and Mediterra-
nean Europe. The Austro-Hungarian [section contain many series
of type plants, with manuscript labels, described by Wierzbicki,
Hoffman, Opiz, Heuffel and other distinguished authorities. The
Gaumer collections from Yucatan, with Dr. Schott’s plants, yield
over 500 additional species to the Flora, which have been collated in
manuscript for a third contribution to the Flora of that region, now
nearly ready for the printer.

ExcHANGES.—-Since the date of the last report the Museum has
issued two exchange catalogues, one being a list of duplicate material
on hand for exchange and the other a list of duplicate books and
pamphlets. These catalogues have been mailed to a great many
individuals and to all contemporaneous institutions with a request
that they be examined with a view to effecting an exchange of speci-
mens and literature. The results have justified the undertaking. A
number of profitable exchanges have been completed and _ corre-
spondence has been opened that is sure to lead to very good results.
About fifty exchanges have been made, and probably as many more
propositions are under consideration.

EXPEDITION AND FIELD Work.—At the date of the last report the
African expedition was in the field. Mr. Elliot, the chief of the
expedition, has already provided a detailed account of this expedi-
tion, but a brief resume seems to be required in this report. The
expedition had intended to enter Mashonaland from the Port of
Veira, but information received that the invasion of settlers and
the large number of hunting parties had reduced the number of
wild animals and driven them, in a large measure, from their haunts,
together with the possibility of trouble with the natives, especially
the Mashonas, induced the abandonment of this route and turned
attention to a section of country around Mount Kilimanjaro and the
country of the Massai, the home of the elephant, the rhinoceros, etc.
It appeared, however, upon investigation that this country was very
much disturbed by tribal rebellions, and that the opportunities for
obtaining large game was lessened by the prevalence of the rinder-
pest, which scourge had attacked the Massai cattle, buffalo, antelope,
etc. The extinction of so many species of wild animals by disease,
to say nothing of the possibility of a conflict with the natives, resulted
in the abandonment of this route and the selection of Somali-Land
and the country adjacent to it. Mr. E. Dodson, who had just
returned with Mr. Donaldson Smith from Lake Rudolph, was added
to the party, and on March 27, 1896, passage was taken for Aden,
which port was reached April 13th. Preparations for the continuation
of the trip were actively commenced, provisions were obtained for
the men, goods for trading with natives, and the numerous articles
necessary for the outfit of alarge expedition. Horses and mules were
also purchased at this port. April 20th the party sailed for Berbera,
on the south coast of the Gulf of Aden, whither the outfit purchased
in London had already been dispatched. Having purchased a num-
ber of camels sufficient for a short trip, the expedition took march in
search of wild asses. After ten days spent in collecting asses and

gazelles the party returned to Berbera, where an equipment of about
forty camels was secured, and the journey south was taken up. The
country was exploited until about the 20th of May, when the expedi-
tion again returned to Berbera. Here further delay was encountered
by the difficulty of procuring camels, but on the 25th of May, a
sufficient number having been obtained, the real expedition to the
interior was undertaken with Ogaden as the principal objective point.
In reaching this point, in crossing the Haud, and Silo, and at Adodleh,
Hargeisa, Niglileh and Gerenouk, sub-expeditions were detached from
the main body and dispatched in different directions, and the country
for hundreds of miles was hunted for the game which inhabits it.
Both the chief of the expedition and his assistants suffered from
intense heat and great. privations, and eventually succumbed to the
prostrating conditions that surrounded them, but not until they had
passed four months in that awful country and had obtained a mag-
nificent collection. They arrived safely at Aden and sailed for Lon-
don on the first of October. In concluding his report, Mr. Elliot,
chief of the expedition, says:

‘©The collection obtained is very valuable, probably the most
important, certainly so as regards quadrupeds, ever brought out
of any country by one expedition, and consists of about two hundred
mammal skins, three hundred of birds, numerous reptiles, and about
half a barrel of fish, obtained on the coast and at Aden. Skeletons
of every species, in certain cases two or three of the same species,
were preserved, and casts of heads and parts of bodies showing the
muscles of the large animals were made. These will be beyond price,
when it is desired to mount the species, exhibiting, as they will,
every muscle, artery, and in the case of heads, the proper lay of the
hair and contour of the face. Besides these we have over three
hundred negatives of the people we met, the scenery of the country
through which we passed, and the animals, living and dead, which
we had obtained. These last will be of as great value to the taxider-
mists in their work, as the casts, and they are both unique assistants,
such materials never before having been secured. Besides the
Zoological collection, I procured specimens of native weapons,
utensils of all kinds, ornaments, and such slight garments as they
wear, some one hundred and forty objects in all, being a very fair
representation of the materials in use among the tribes we passed
through. Although fond of singing and possessing a correct ear for
music, they have no musical instruments of any kind, not even a war
drum, and in this respect are apparently peculiar among savage peo-
ple. It is difficult to estimate the total value of the material secured,

186 FIELD COLUMBIAN MusruM—ReEports, VOL. I.

so much depends upon the condition of the skins and the rarity of the
species. In a few years, from the gradual disappearance of the
large animals, which has been going on in the African continent for a
considerable period, and already has resulted in the complete extinc-
tion of some of the finest species, the collection brought to the Field
Museum will be practically priceless. It is the only proper way
to secure collections for a Museum, and for what must still be
accomplished, ‘‘’t were well if ’t were done quickly,” for the time
is near at hand when, in certain lines of Zoology, especially in
the large mammals of the world, it will be forever impossible to
procure examples. They are certain, most of them, to become as
extinct as the Mastodon or Dodo are to-day. Of all the existing wild
creatures, those of the African continent are disappearing the most
rapidly, and although the Field Museum by its recent acquisitions is
ahead of all its sister.institutions in the United States as regards the
large quadrupeds of Africa, yet there are large numbers not yet
represented.”

On May 12th, Mr. George A. Dorsey, Assistant Curator of Anth-
ropology, accompanied by Mr. Edward Allen, Photographer of the
Museum, left Chicago for a four months’ trip among the Indians
of the far West. They visited the following tribes in succession:
Blackfoot, Kootenay, Flathead, Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian, Moki
and Zuni. The special object of the expedition was to secure ethno-
logical and physical anthropological material for the building of
groups which would adequately portray the stages of culture and the
physical characteristics of these tribes. Of some of the tribes visited
such representation is no:longer possible owing to the great changes
which have taken place during the recent years from a more intimate
contact with the white race. Taking this into consideration the expe-
dition was very successful. Mr. Dorsey reports: ‘‘ Probably the most
complete single representation of any one group was that collected on
the Blood Reserve in Canada. The Bloods are one of the branches
of the Blackfeet, about the sole surviving remnant of any importance
of the great Algonkin stock, which, in former times, extended from the
Atlantic seaboard to the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. The
collection from the Bloods comprises over three hundred objects
of ethnographic interest, covering the entire range of their domestic
and religious life. Of especially great value is the complete para-
phernalia of one of the rare ceremonial medicine pipes. With this
were collected costumes, etc., so that it will be possible to represent
one of the scenes in the transfer of the medicine pipe. Furthermore,
a large amount of osteological material was collected both from the

Ocr. 1897. ANNUAL REporT OF THE DIRECTOR, 187

Bloods andthe South Piegans, another tribe of the Blackfeet. From
this it will be possible to make a full and complete representation of
their physical characteristics. A large number of measurements and
photographs was also taken. From both the Flathead and Kootenay
Indians as complete ethnographic collections were secured as was
possible. The Kootenay collection included a curious full size bark
canoe, which is sharp at each end, and both ends navigate under
water, in the manner of a modern man of war. Two complete skele-
tons, a male and female, were also secured from the Kootenay near
Bonner’s Ferry. These, it is believed, are the only Kootenay skele-
tons ever secured, owing to the strict watch kept by those Indians
over their burial grounds. As the Museum was already in posses-
sion of a very large and comprehensive collection from the tribes
of the Northwest coast, the attention of the expedition was chiefly
confined to the filling in of such gaps as existed, and to the
securing of material necessary to build culture and physical groups.
In both these respects the expedition was especially successful
among the Haidas. By visiting several of the abandoned villages
of the Haidas, on the north shore of Graham’s Island of the
Queen Charlotte group, a large collection of complete skeletons
of both sexes and of various ages was secured, together with many
objects of ethnological interest. From the village of Masset addi-
tional ethnographic material was collected and many measurements
and photographs were made. Among the -latter were several of
aged persons, showing the former manner of wearing the labret and
tattooing the hands and feet of the women, and of tattooing the arms,
feet and breast of the men. From the Tsimshians and Tlingits it is
almost impossible to secure osteological material, owing to the fact
that until within the present decade the dead were cremated, while at
present the dead are buried after the manner of the whites. For
this reason only a single skeleton could be secured from each tribe.
That of the Tiingits is of special interest as it is the skeleton of
a Shaman or Medicine man. The Shamans were not cremated
owing to the prevalence of a belief that their bodies would not burn.
The Tsimshian skeleton is that of a chief. By ascending the Skeena
River to the far inland Tsimshian villages, it was possible to secure a
large collection of objects representing their domestic life, objects
which are not usually found in Musuem collections from this region.’’
With the addition of this material to that already in the Museum, it
is confidently believed that the Museum possesses the most complete
existing representation of the Northwest coast Indians. Among
the Mokis and Zunis, time did not permit of any exploration

188 FIELD COLUMBIAN MusEUM—REports, VOL. I.

either in the ruins or abandoned burial grounds, and the expedition
confined its attention to the collection of objects of ethnographic
interest. The collection made at the Pueblo of Oraibi of the Mokis
is quite full and complete. This was possible from the fact that
Oraibi is, of all the Pueblos of the Southwest, the most primitive
and least contaminated by white contact.

In September, Mr. Farrington, Curator of Geology, made a trip
to the caves of Kentucky and passed some time in collection and
study. A large amount of material illustrative of cave formation was
secured and arrangements were made which will probably result in
securing to the Museum later a unique collection in this line. Onthe
same trip the Nashville exposition was visited and a number of
specimens obtained for ‘the Museum from exhibitors there. The
Assistant Curator of Geology spent two weeks in July in the ‘‘ Boston
Basin,” collecting material illustrative of points of structure and
dynamic geology and lithology. As he had a previous acquaintance
with the region the amount of material secured was large and
valuable. A complete series of specimens illustrative of the forma-
tion of soil from diabese, a series of veins and dikes, and a collection
of the acid and basic volcanic rocks of the region were chief among
the specimens obtained.

Mr. Millspaugh, Curator of Botany, in the prosecution of his
efforts to make a collection of the forestry of North America, visited
during the year, Northern Mississippi, Southern Illinois and Eastern
West Virginia collecting specimens, gathering dataand taking photo-
graphs in pursuance of a plan in behalf of this division of his depart-
ment as outlined in the following report to the director:

‘¢ The need in a great commercial center of not only an adequate
but authentic reference collection exploiting the commercial timbers
of North America is not only urgent but of the greatest moment to
business men, railroad systems, builders and contractors, and to
students and teachers in the central west. To this end this depart-
ment has undertaken, on a comprehensive scale, the amassing of a
complete series of monographs that shall adequately represent the
‘most essential and educational features of our North American for-
ests, in which work the Museum is being ably seconded by the
different railway systems of the country to which such a collection
appeals with great force. Although the building up of these
monographs entails a careful and considerate selection of material,
scientific accuracy in each detail and a large amount of travel and
association with all branches of lumbering, from the tree-feller in

the forest, the sawyer in the mill, and the manufacturer in his

The elements comprising each of the monographs in the series are: A glazed

the same tree ; a photograph of the tree in summer, and the same tree in winter,
both from the same point of view; a seven-foot trunk and transverse section; a
commercial plank, a two-foot map of North America, colored to show the distri-
bution of the species, and a series of ornamental] cabinet specimens of the wood.

seven and one-half foot plank of the species, simply planed to show
the character of the lumber produced. With this is associated a
‘‘quartered ” board exhibiting the character of the wood when sawed
through the medullary rays. In cases of large genera, like the oaks,
ashes, pines, etc,. etc., these planks and boards are especially sawn
from trees selected and blazed when standing with their summer
characters intact. Most of our American trees exhibit various orna-
mental forms of woody growth, such as burls, curls, wavy lines,
bird’s-eye figures, blisters, block marks, etc., etc., making valuable
varieties for fancy cabinet making. Samples of these forms, dressed
and polished, are shown in Element V. The distribution and pre-
dominance of each species is represented in shades of color (deepest
where the tree is most prevalent) upon an outline map of North
America two feet square. This serves a commercial purpose in indi-
cating timber growth to prospective timber buyers. A large descrip-
tive label occupies a prominent place in each set, and in giving the
principal and subsidiary common names of the species, the botanical
or universal name, the distribution of the species, the characters of
the tree and wood, the uses to which the lumber is most often put,
and statistics showing the physical characters of the species, its
weight per cubic foot, hardness, resistance, fuel value, etc., etc.”
Several weeks were passed in the forests and timber-growing regions
of these three sections of the United States, and a great amount
of material was gathered and provided for. Assistance was gener-
ously given by the Illinois Central R. R., the West Virginia Cen-
tral, the Ayer & Lord Tie Company, the Coahoma Lumber Company
and others, who evinced their interest in this permanent exposition
by offering material and transportation to assist in completing the
work,

The Assistant Curator of Ornithology was on collecting expedi-
tions along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and in Florida and
Southern Illinois for about three months in the late winter, and
collected several hundred skins to be added to the already large col-
lection of North American birds, to which the Curator of the depart-
ment is devoting a great deal of energy.

INSTALLATION, RE-ARRANGEMENT AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS.— Lhe
Department of Geology has performed a iarge amount of work during.
the year in the re-arrangement and classification of material already
on hand. This has seemed desirable in order to bring the installation
of some of the halls up to a proper museum standard, and also to
make available originally acquired material which had not obtained
proper display. The improvement resulting from the effort so

expended has been marked, and with the possible exception of two
halls, the system of installation now exhibited through the depart-
ment may be considered permanent. To the cases in the Paleonto-
logical halls, which contain the fossils of the geological period, large
framed maps showing the distribution’of these rocks in the United
States have been added, thus giving opportunity for locating the
forms of the period. The educational value of the systematic mineral
collection has been increased by neat case labels which give the
composition and system of crystallization of each species. The col-
lection illustrating structural geology, has been so largely increased
that an entire re-arrangement has been necessitated and part of the
specimens have been transferred to Hall 66. A collection illustrat-
ing the rocks of the Sdarbrucken coal fields has been brought from
storage and also placed in this hall, together with a series of rocks of
Popocatepetl and Ixtaccihuatl collected by the Curator in Mexico.
From the large marble structure formerly shown in Hall 67, slabs of
uniform size have been cut, so as to illustrate the different varieties
of marble which they represent. These, together with specimens
obtained from other sources, have been installed in large, upright and
well lighted cases in the halland given a geographical arrangement.
Thus an extensive collection consisting of about 350 specimens has
been obtained, which represents the principal varieties of marbles
from France, England, Italy and the United States, as well as many
varieties of serpentine and onyx. In this form the collection proves
to be far more instructive and attractive than before. In Hall 68
the pyramids made up of building stones of irregular sizes have been
removed and the specimens which they contained have been cut
to cubes of uniform size. These are now installed in systematic
order in cases. With these and other additions, the building
stone collection now includes: granite from sixty-seven, sandstone
from ninety, and marble from eighty-eight localities, with about
sixty miscellaneous specimens. In Hall 69 the cases have been
repainted, printed labels giving complete information regarding
each specimen, including its analysis, have been put in place,
and thorough treatment has been given to each specimen when
_mecessary to prevent its decay. The oils in Hall 71, which had
become discolored through decomposition have, through the gener-
osity of the Standard Oil Co., been replaced by fresh specimens,
and some improvements in installment have been made. By careful
selection and arrangement of material already on hand, a series of
collections illustrating several different’ processes of extraction of
lead and silver have been put in place in Hall 72 and given a graphic

192 FieLp Co_umMBiaN MuseEuM—ReEports, VOL, I.

installation, which enables the visitor to study accurately and rapidly
the different steps of the processes. Similar collections illustrating
the extraction of copper have been placed in Hall 79. The processes
so represented include the Friedrichshiitte and Lantenthalshiitte proc-
esses for refining lead and silver; the blast furnace process for the
extraction of lead; the Argo, Colorado, Smelting process for extracting
gold, silver and copper; the Friedrichshiitte reverberatory process
for extracting lead and silver, the blast furnace process for the
extraction of copper, and the reverberatory furnace or Swansea proc-
ess for the extraction of copper. In Hall 79 an entire re-arrange-
ment has been made of the iron, nickel, arsenic and other ores, so
that now they present a more logical order than heretofore and their
study is facilitated. The cases in Halls 72 and 79 have been lined and
painted to give a better background for the specimens and preserve
them from dust. In Hall 72 the large collection of silver ores made
by the Curator in Mexico has been installed so that a very satis-
factory representation of these ores can be seen. The specimens
of gold and silver alloys, which had tarnished badly, have been
reburnished, through the kindness of Messrs. Tiffany & Co., of New
York. In Hall 72, devoted to the metallurgy of iron, changes
involving a large amount of time and labor have been made, but the
improved appearance of the hall amply compensates for the expendi-
ture. The large, heavy objects having little significance have been
removed, and their places have been supplied by cased models of
rolling mills, hot blast stoves, etc., and a case of specimens illustrat-
ing the manufacture of different grades of pig iron. The large collec-
tion of test specimens illustrating the tensile strength of various
grades of iron has been fully and accurately labeled, and the same is
true of all the objects shown in the hall. In its present form the hall
attracts much attention and isa place where valuable information
regarding the metallurgy of iron can be obtained.

The Curator of the Department of Botany has added to the
herbarium during the year, six more cases containing about 4,000
species, and in completing the installation of economic material four
large cases have been installed on the transept of the west gallery.
Considerable work has also been performed in caring for the speci-
mens in the old, and not very desirable cases in different parts of
the department and in installing, according to the plan described at
some length elsewhere, that portion of the North American Forestry
collection already received. A force of workmen has also been engaged
in. the workshop on Jefferson avenue, at different times during the
year, preparing woods for this collection.

Oct. 1897. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 193

The installation in the Department of Anthropology has been
much improved during the year by the addition of a number of ebony
cases containing the Hutchinson Etruscan material referred to else-
where, and material obtained by the President of the Museum while
abroad last winter. The general arrangement of the department,
with this exception, remains unaltered, although individual cases
have been changed about more or less,:and the installation re-arranged
and brought to a higher standard in a number of halls, more espe-
cially in the hall devoted to Egyptology.

The exhibits in the divisions of Mammalogy and Osteology in
the department of Zoology have been re-arranged and classified, and
the cases in the latter division have been painted black inside, show-
ing their contents to better advantage than before. Much work has
been accomplished in preserving and mounting insects of many kinds.
Numerous cocoons have been collected and a small hatchery com-
menced, which, it is trusted, will bear fruit next spring. The spirit
formaline in which the specimens of fishes were preserved failed
under the extreme low temperature which the exhibition halls reached
at night during the winter, and alcohol has been or is to be substi-
tuted in all instances and the specimens placed upon upright plaster
slabs within the jars, thus showing them to better advantage. In the
west court this department has installed two very notable groups —
the musk ox and the lesser koodoo. The taxidermy has been nearly
completed, and the case provided, for a collection of Waller’s gazelles.
The striking manner in which these three rare and interesting groups of
animals are arranged and posed, the life action and naturalness of
the picture presented, no less than the scientific fidelity and faithful-
ness of accessories, stamp them at once as of the very highest
character of work that can be performed. In the musk-ox group
seven animals are most attractively disposed upon a field of snow,
through which a huge rock protrudes, surmounted by a splendid
male in a commanding attitude. Others of the herd are seeking
in the snow with hoof and nose for what lichens may be concealed
beneath. Everything about the group is full of quiet, natural life;
everything is harmonious and realistic. In the koodoo and the
gazelle groups the same high character of art is manifest. In the
former a striking accessory is an ant hill, upon which is perched
an African owl. The trees and growing things are true to life, and,
although the area is limited, the impressions of the desert are forc-
ibly conveyed to the spectator. The gazelle group presents that
graceful animal in most effective and dramatic grouping, finished in
every artistic detail, and complete in every requirement of the scien-

tist and hunter. Attention to the work of Mr. Akeley, the chief Taxid-
ermist, who, under the direction of the Curator of the department,
has executed these three groups, cannot be directed too flatteringly.

In the Department of Ornithology seven handsome groups have
been added during the year, reflecting a class of work of which the
Museum may take gratulation and exhibiting the theory of popular
education, under the rule of scientific accuracy and artistic treatment.
The groups may be briefly referred to as the Herons, the Robins,
the Quails, the Hen and Ducklings, the Prairie Chickens, the Fox and
Owl, and the Ducks and Cat. These are installed in halls 26 and 27,
provision therefor being made by removing the collections in Oology
into the alcove of hall 27. ‘The taxidermy of the group referred to is
exceptionally well done; the accessories of Mr. Mintorn and Mrs.
Mogridge are fully up to the standard of these well-known artists,
while the argument or story of each group as prepared by the Curator
of the department is interesting and instructive to an unusual degree.

The taxidermists having been removed to the annex east of the
main building, the rooms formerly occupied by them at Jefferson
avenue, are occupied by the Osteologists for macerating, cleaning,
articulating and mounting. A number of improvements have been
made in the taxidermist annex, including a cement floor in the
cleaning room, the erection of partitions, etc. The carpentershop,
which was located at the east of the building, has been turned over to
the Department of Ornithology for a work room, and a carpenter-
shop constructed in an unoccupied part of the boiler house. The
paintshop, which was also crowded out of its quarters by the require-
ments of departmental work, has been removed to the building on the
corner of Fifty-sixth street and Jefferson avenue, where, though
rather remote from the Museum, the painters have ample accommo-
dations. The operation of the electric light and heating plants has
been very economical. With the exception of the ordinary repairs
and changes, very little labor or material has been required, excepting
the renewal of the spools in the armature. Repairs on the building
have been very largely of a nature that could be made from day to
day, with the force at the command of the superintendent of the build-
ing. Considerable staff has been replaced with sheet iron, the cornice
having given the greatest amount of trouble. It is now, however, in
good condition for the winter. The damage done to the main dome
during the wind storms at different times during the year induced the
substitution of thin iron sheets for the glass, the dome being so far
above the floor of the building that this made no appreciable differ-

plan of substituting iron for glass in all of the exposed parts of the
roof where the glass is not essential as a means of conveying light to
the interior. The figures immediately over the south entrance have
been removed and the two ornaments on the grounds north of the
building have been razed. The roof has had a constant and very
careful inspection and has been kept in such condition that the coming
winter is regarded with no apprehension whatever. The interior of
the building has been constantly drawing upon the labor resources of
the institution. The plaster work not only of the columns but of the
coves and the cornices requires constantattention. The offices of the
Director, the Librarian, the Curator of Anthropology, and the Super-
intendent have all been repaired, repainted and generally renovated
during the year. The toilet rooms have also been placed in better
condition. A waiting room has been constructed at the south entrance
for the accommodation of visitors who desire to send their card to
some officer of the institution or head of a department. The three
caravels moored in the south pond have recently received two coats
of lead and oil, the hatches nailed down, the seams caulked and placed
in general repair. The boats are now ina very presentable condition.
A contract has been entered into, with the consent of the Board of
South Park Commissioners, to install the Viking ship in a permanent
iron pavilion at the southeast corner of the main building. The
tracings of all drawings for new installation work, cases, etc., are now
kept by the Superintendent, and plans and drawings of the buildings
and the water, gas and steam systems have also been made of per-
manent record.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND ILLUSTRATIONS.—This important division of the
Museum has added measurably to its proportions the past year, and,
under the direction of the Curator of Botany, who has voluntarily
taken charge of it, hasintroduced methods and inaugurated facilities
that its increasing importance seem to demand. Large cabinets for
the storage of cuts and electrotypes have been constructed near the
Botanical Laboratory, and all of the blocks illustrating the different
publications of the Museum have been inventoried, inscribed and
stored in intelligent order, whence they may be withdrawn easily from
time to time, if required. The work in photography was discontinued
for a part of the year, owing to the absence of the operator on the
expedition in the Northwest. The work of this division, however, is.
becoming constantly of a higher character, and, as instruments and
appliances are provided, its scope is enlarged, and the Museum does

Printinc.—The printing office is one of the busy money-saving
sections of the institution. The printers have been constantly at
work, new type and increased facilities have been provided, and the
section is now prepared to do all the printing of the Museum except
the publications. The two exchange catalogues were printed in the
Museum as were all of the lecture-announcements, advertising cards,
large labels, stationery, etc., etc. The following figures show the
number of impressions in the way of label printing and general jobs:

Apmissions.—The total attendance for the year was about 10,000
less than the year preceding. The paid attendance shows a decrease;
the admissions on free days was about the same, while the free admis-
sions on pay days was 3,000 larger than last year. This increase is
almost entirely of school children and students. The public school
authorities have made greater efforts to induce pupils to attend the
Museum this year, and a great many classes accompanied by their
teachers have visited the institution for observation and study; but
probably the greatest factor in the sharp increase in the attendance
of school children has been the offering by Mr. H. N. Higinbotham,
of a series of cash prizes for the best written paper by a pupil of the
public schools of the State, on the Museum and its collections. This
contest has awakened a very lively interest on the part of the pupils
of the public schools, more especially, of course, in Chicago where
the Museum was more accessible. The rules of the contest were
announced in a circular issued by Mr. Higinbotham, as follows:

WCE 1897; ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 197

PI ZbS POR -COMPETITIVE. ARTICLES UPON THE
FIELD COLUMBIAN MUSEUM.

Believing that it will lead to a higher appreciation of the aids which the
Field Columbian Museum offers for the education of the children and youth in
our public schools, that it will arouse in their minds a deeper interest in the col-
lections of the Museum, and that it will collect an interesting and valuable
amount of descriptive and suggestive literature, I beg to offer to the pupils of
the public schools of the State of Illinois a series of prizes for papers or essays
upon the Museum, under the following conditions:

The prizes offered are as follows:

One prize of $50.00. One prize of $30.00. Five prizes of $10.00 each.
One prize of $40.00. Two prizes of $15.00 each. Twenty prizes of $5.00 each.

Any pupil in regular attendance in any grade or department of the public
schools of the State of Illinois shall be eligible as a competitor. The scope of the
essays is indicated by the following suggestions: A general description of the
Museum, based upon actual visitation thereof; the interior of the buildings, and
the nature of the materials upon exhibition; the method of installation; any exhib-
its or collections that may appeal to the individual writer as of peculiar interest
or value. The article should consider the value of special collections therein
found, or of the Museum as a whole, as aids to education. The foregoing is
intended to indicate the range of thought which the essays may present, rather
than to be a specific synopsis of what must be included in each paper. Each
essay will contain not less than 2,000 nor more than 3,000 words. It should be
written, or type-written, upon cap paper, using only one side of each sheet. It
should be forwarded by mail to F. J. V. Skiff, Director of the Field Columbian
Museum in Chicago, on or before the first day of October, 1897, as attested by the
mailing stamp of the post-office in which it is registered, carefully sealed. The
essay must not be signed, but it should be accompanied in the same envelope by
a letter in which shall be stated the full name and age of the writer, and the
designation of the school and grade to which he belongs. These statements must .
be attested in writing by the teacher of the grade, or the principal of the school,
who should also certify that the essay has been produced in good faith and with-
out assistance. A committee of three will be selected to award the prizes. The
essays, as received by the Director of the Museum, will be numbered, and will be
transmitted to the Committee of Award, who will know them by number only, and
will not be cognizant of the names of the authors, nor the schools to which they
may belong. The decisions of the committee will be announced in the press of
Chicago on the 24th of December, 1897, and, if possible, the prizes will be handed
to the successful competitors on Christmas Day. But the committee will make no
award unless, in its opinion, the essay under consideration is fairly entitled thereto
by reason of its merit, and not for lack of competitors. It must be understood
that all essays submitted in this competition shall remain in my possession subject
to such future disposition as I may direct. f

CHICAGO, May 24, 1897.
Hon. H. N. HIGINBOTHAM, Chicago, IIL:

My Dear Sir: The Board of Education at its last meeting, held May to,

1897, approved the proposition which you submitted, offering prizes to the pupils —

in the public schools of Chicago for papers or essays on the Field Columbian
Museum, for the purpose of arousing in the minds of the pupils a deeper interest
in the collections in the Museum. It is understood that the essays shall include a
general deseription of the Museum, based upon actual visitation; of the interior of
the building; of the character of the material on exhibition; of the method of
installation; and such strikingly interesting exhibits or collections as may appeal
to the individual writer. Also an opinion as to the value of the special collec-
tions; or of the Museum as a whole as an aid to education.

The Board has authorized the principals of the schools to distribute circulars
of information and to make the necessary arrangements in the schools.

To THE BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO:

The Committee on School Management reports that they arein receipt of a communication
from Mr. H. N. Higinbotham, offering the following prizes for the best essays on the ‘‘ Field

One prize of $50.00. One prize of $30.00 Five prizes of $10.00.
One prize of $40.00. Two prizes of $15.00. Twenty prizes of $5.00.

It being understood that each essay that wins a prize must have merit satisfactory to the
committee—. ¢., that if only thirty essays were submitted and some of them did not have merit,
then the whole $300 would not be subject to distribution.

The committee recommends the acceptance of the proposition.

COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL MANAGEMENT.
CHICAGO, May 19, 1897.
The above is a copy of the order as passed by the Board.
Yours truly, A. G. LANE.
Superintendent of Schools.

SPRINGFIELD, I]]., May 17, 1897.
Hon. H. N. HIGINBOTHAM, Chicago, III:

Dear Sir: \heartily endorse your plan for the distribution of prizes for
essays upon the Field Columbian Museum, to be written by pupils in the public
schools in Illinois, and I hereby commend its objects to the pupils and teachers
of the State.

I trust that your offer may receive that hearty response from them which
your noble generosity and kindly interest in the cause of education so much
deserve. ;

The Field Columbian Museum is a most worthy institution—a fitting nyonu-
ment to the liberality and patriotic spirit of its founder.

A hearty co-operation in your plans for essays on the Museum by the pupils
of. the State will result in making them more familiar with the wealth of its
scientific treasures, and in inspiring them to a broader knowledge and a higher
culture. x

In behalf of the youth of the State whose advancement you seek to promote,
permit me to express my heartfelt acknowledgments.

Respectfully yours, SAMUEL M. INGLIS,
Superintendent of Public Instruction.

PL. XIl. DETAILS OF ADJUSTABLE SHELVES ON FIXED UPRIGHTS.

Supports and cross bars are of the same size. Castings and bars are oxidized.
Glass shelves ; ebony case.

DETAILS OF ADJUSTABLE SWINGING SHELF.

The supports are % inch and cross bars 3 inch gas pipe, finished as desired.
Castings all in brass. Interference of thin piece of linoleum at center brings
greatest weight on heaviest roof cross bar. Shelves, may be of different widths,

lengths and elevations.

DETAIL OF FLOOR Cases USED FOR EXHIBITING MARBLES AND ORNAMENTAL STONES.

These cases have been designed with the view of obtaining the maximum
amount of light from overhead lighting, with a minimum amount of frame-work.
They also provide adjustable shelving. They are 3 feet. 7 inches wide, 9 feet 9
inches long and 8 feet 7 inches high, with base 2 feet 2 inches high. Four braced
uprights in the center of the case furnish support for the shelves. These are
provided with Jencks’ adjustable brackets. The brackets are of such length as
to allow each shelf to project two inches beyond the one above it. The speci-
mens rest at the bottom in a groove in the shelf and at the top against a flange
dropped from the shelf above. When the case is filled the specimens form a
four-sided pyramid, all parts of which are equally lighted. The inclination of
the slabs also favors reflection of the light from their surfaces rather than from
the glass, and serves to light the interior of the case.

.

Each label gives the group, Dana’s number, name, chemical composition,
both in words and symbols, and system of crystallization of each species in the
case. The relations of species are thus exhibited and too great crowding of data
on the specimen label is avoided.
