Field Museum of Natural History 


PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 
BY FIELD MUSEUM PRESS 


feet QUIET, CLASSIC exterior of Field Museum belies the usual hum 
of activity within. Individuals and families; students and school 
groups; visiting scientists from throughout the world and graduate 
students using the research collections; readers in the library; users 
of the photographic collections and research personnel from industry 
—these and others brought Field Museum attendance to a 30-year 
high of almost 1,800,000 in 1966. 

While exhibits, educational programs, and research are the ulti- 
mate measures of a great science museum, its capacity to produce 
these “‘products”’ for its visitors rests on the museum organization 
itself: the people, collections, structure, and equipment. If any 
museum is to avoid mistaking form for substance it must build its 
strength in this order of priority. These elements of the organization 
must grow in strength and distinction in an order of magnitude 
comparable to its program. Thus this report is begun with deep 
gratitude to the Board of Trustees, Women’s Board, and Members 
of Field Museum, who, sensitive to the material needs of the insti- 
tution, worked with the Staff to achieve tangible progress during 
the year 

Though emphasizing the Museum organization, the narrative 
must begin with an intangible—the return, on March 1, to the well- 
known name Field Museum of Natural History. In appreciation for 
the immense contributions made throughout the Museum’s history 
by the Field family, and with particular recognition of the unparal- 
leled dedication of the late Stanley Field, the Board of Trustees 
unanimously voted early in the year, to return to the Museum’s 
earlier name. The response of the community, overwhelmingly favor- 
able, seemed to be composed of almost equal parts of relief and affec- 
tion. For the Staff, the change dissolved a cloak of anonymity under 
which it had labored for 28 years. 

The Board of Trustees was strengthened by the addition of six 
new members, elected under the provisions of a change in the by-laws 
increasing the size of the Board from 21 to 27. Those elected were: 

William R. Dickinson, Jr. 

Marshall Field 

Paul W. Goodrich 

Gerald A. Sivage 

William G. Swartchild, Jr. 

E. Leland Webber 
At their request, Trustees William V. Kahler and Walter J. Cum- 
mings were elected Honorary Trustees.

Another decision of the Board of Trustees, of signal importance 
to the strength of the Museum, was the authorization of a Women’s 
Board. Mrs. Hermon Dunlap Smith, an Associate in our Bird Divi- 
sion and a dedicated and loyal volunteer worker for the Museum for 
many years, was asked to head a committee to form the Board. The 
affirmative response was most gratifying and was clearly a combina- 
tion of respect for Ellen Smith and appreciation for Field Museum. 


Continued work on a survey of the building in consultation with 
John Dolio and Associates, Inc. was fruitful in delineating the major 
requirements for modernization of the Museum. It hardly need be 
stated that each step forward in the survey added liberal increments 
to the institution’s capital needs, which were of multi-million-dollar 
dimensions with the survey yet incomplete. Perhaps the most sig- 
nificant, and certainly the most evident, building improvement com- 
pleted during the year was the cleaning of the north and south 
entrances—the first cleaning since completion of the Museum in 
1921. The removal of 45 years’ accumulation of grime produced a 
dramatic transformation of the building’s exterior. 


A major reorganization was accomplished in February with the 
establishment of a centralized Department of Exhibition. Prior to 
this time, Exhibition personnel had been attached to the respective 
scientific departments. Their consolidation into a single department 
was an important step toward accelerating and strengthening the 
Museum’s exhibition program. 


As mentioned in last year’s report, a Department of Planning and 
Development was established on January 1 headed by Mr. Robert E. 
Coburn. During the year, the Department became a going organiza- 
tion and an important factor in our public relations and fund-raising 
effort. 


The financial needs of Field Museum that have been reported 
with unflageging regularity in the reports of the last several years were 
discussed with equal regularity at the monthly meetings of the Board 
of Trustees. Early in the year a Development Committee of the 
Board was formed, with Mr. Harry O. Bercher as Chairman, to work 
with the Staff Department of Planning and Development as a means 
of meeting operating and capital requirements of the Museum. An 
important first step toward solving operating fund needs was the 
inauguration of a solicitation program of contributions from corpora- 
tions. By year’s end more than 100 corporations and other business 
organizations had contributed. Of these, 35 were at a level of $1,000 
or more, which qualified the donors as Corporate Associates of the 


4 


Museum. More than $49,000 was received from this source. Al- 
though no formal program of individual solicitation was undertaken, 
we are gratified that increased support was received from individuals. 
An organized solicitation of contributions from our Members is 
planned for 1967. As a condition precedent to this effort, increased 
effort was aimed at enlarging our Membership, which increased 20% 
during the year and stood at approximately 12,000 at year end. 


The Robert R. McCormick Trust made an extremely generous 
gift of $800,000 in support of our exhibition program. Weare greatly 
indebted to the trustees of the McCormick Trust, who have granted 
in excess of $500,000 to the Museum during the last four years. Par- 
ticularly generous gifts were also received from Chicago Daily News 
Charities Fund, Chicago Sun-Times Charities Fund, Marshall Field 
& Company, International Harvester Foundation, The Peoples Gas 
Light & Coke Company, George A. Bates, William H. Mitchell, The 
Shinner Foundation, Mr. & Mrs. Jack C. Staehle, Mr. & Mrs. Wil- 
liam S. Street, Mr. & Mrs. Chester Dudley Tripp, The Chicago Com- 
munity Trust—John G. and Frances C. Searle Fund, Mr. & Mrs. 
Edward Byron Smith, and Solomon Byron Smith. The National 
Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, U. S. Army, 
Office of the Surgeon General, and U.S. Navy, Office of Naval Re- 
search, contributed significantly to the research funds of the Museum. 
A full list of individuals and corporations who contributed other than 
Membership funds during 1966 is carried on pages 30-382. 


Field Museum is in a period of transition. What has been accom- 
plished in recent years could not possibly have been done without the 
generous contributions of individuals and corporations in response to 
our statements of need for the institution. We have much yet to do. 
With the continuing help of all who wish nothing less than excellence, 
Field Museum will continue to move ahead. 


WOMEN'S BOARD 


The formation of the Women’s Board in May was a notable event 
for the Museum. Mrs. Hermon Dunlap Smith headed the group 
charged with the responsibility for establishing the Board, and a 
group of ladies who had expressed interest in Field Museum and its 
specialized areas of work were invited to membership. The charter 
membership of the Board stood at 164 at year end. 

A number of very successful events were held during the year, 
including a sponsorship of the Marshall Field & Company fall fashion 


ie} 


showing, which was made available to the newly formed Board 
through the courtesy of the company. All costs were absorbed by 
Marshall Field & Company; thus, the entire proceeds of the benefit 
were made available, by decision of the Board’s officers, to support 
the Museum’s educational program for children. 

The interest and enthusiasm of the individual members of the 
Women’s Board have been a stimulation to all of the staff who have 
had the privilege of working with them. 


SCHOOL PROGRAMS 


Use of Field Museum by school groups continued to rise and 
reached a total attendance figure of 315,000, an increase of 50,000 
over the 1965 level. A significant portion of this increase can be 
directly attributed to various federal school aid programs, principally 
under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which 
provide increased opportunity for educational enrichment through 
field trips. It is unfortunate, however, that no provision has been 
made in any of these federal programs to assist financially the mu- 
seums on which the very welcome but nonetheless very real logistic 
burdens are placed. 

Educational programs were presented in great variety and were 
restricted only by the staff limitations discussed in previous years. 

More than 50 different programs were available to school groups 
without charge on a reservation basis. The diversity of offerings 
may be seen by a sampling of program titles: Earth and Man, Ani- 
mal Migrations, How Plants Adapt to Surroundings, Ocean Life of 
Today, Cave Man to Civilization, Space Geology. More than 60,000 
students studied in the museum through these Raymond Foundation 
programs and hundreds of thousands of others benefited from the 
portable exhibits circulated to schools by the Harris Extension service. 

An excellent six-week summer course in Anthropology was con- 
ducted for a group of 25 high ability high school students selected 
from 200 applicants. Lectures, seminars, field trips, and an archaeo- 
logical excavation were conducted by a distinguished staff of an- 
thropologists from Field Museum and from outstanding universities. 
A summer institute in earth sciences was presented to 20 elemen- 
tary teachers and science consultants. The purpose of the institute 
was to broaden the teaching competence of the participants and 
to aid them in assisting in the improvement of science education in 
their local schools. Laboratory, lecture and field sessions combined 
to produce a successful six-week program.

For the fifth consecutive year, the Museum collaborated with the 
American Association for the Advancement of Science in presenting 
the Holiday Science Lectures to approximately 800 selected science 
students of the metropolitan Chicago area. Dr. Paul Weiss, Pro- 
fessor of the Rockefeller University, New York, spent two days with 
the students lecturing on “Living Form, the Nature and Origin of 
Pattern.”’ The Holiday Science Lectures and the two summer pro- 
grams were given with assistance from National Science Foundation.

Special Programs 


May 6 saw the largest attendance in the history of Field Museum’s 
Members’ Night; some three thousand Members’ and friends, at-)\ 
tended the evening, which was highlighted by a preview of a special 
exhibit of Maya stone rubbings in Hall 9 Gallery. They toured the 
research and preparation areas, as well, seeing such time-honored ° 
favorites as the taxidermy laboratory, and viewing current research 
projects of Museum scientists. 

Field Museum played host for the second year to the Showcase 
of Music Concerts, presented by the University of Indiana School of 
Music. The Museum Saturday Afternoon Lecture Series, held in 
the spring and fall, featured a series of lectures and films on nature 
and travel. The Chicago Area Teachers’ Science Association Fair, 
with prize-winning science exhibits by Chicago and suburban stu- 
dents was held in May. The same month saw Chicago Latin Day, 
another annual student event. Kennicott Club, the Illinois Orchid 
Society, the Chicago Shell Club, the Audubon Society and similar 
groups continued to maintain close relations with the Museum.

Great as the geographical distances are between anthropological 
field sites scattered throughout the world, they are often not so stag- 
gering as the distances in time along the long span of human existence 
on this planet. In 1966, Field Museum anthropologists worked in 
settings as different as the hot, wet island of Guam and the Arizona 
desert. They studied periods ranging from the Old Stone Age of 
30,000 years ago, to the late 19th and early 20th centuries 


Dr. Glen Cole, Assistant Curator of Prehistory, carried out ar- 
chaeological research in Malawi, East Africa, in cooperation with 
Dr. Desmond Clark of the University of California, Berkeley. They 
excavated stone tools in stratigraphic context dating from about 
30,000 to 20,000 B.c. In addition, they carried out a successful re- 
connaissance for paleolithic sites in Tanzania, and Dr. Cole made a 
test excavation at Kalambo Falls, Zambia, in a deposit dating from 


8 


35,000 to 25,000 B.c. It is expected that type collections of tools 
from these different excavations will be added to the Museum’s 
African collections. 

Dr. Phillip H. Lewis, Curator of Primitive Art and Melanesian 
Ethnology, made a month’s study trip to examine and photograph 
New Ireland specimens in German and Swiss museums. Analysis 
of the data collected will enable him to define the art style areas of 
this large Melanesian island. He plans to check these conclusions 
during a field trip to New Ireland in the near future. 

Dr. Paul S. Martin, Chief Curator Emeritus, completed a second 
and final season of excavation at Hay Hollow site, eastern Arizona. 
This research was supported by a grant from the National Science 
Foundation. Extraordinary and enthusiastic help was rendered by 
eight undergraduate students, whose presence was made possible 
by a grant from the Undergraduate Research Participation Program 
of the National Science Foundation. The students undertook indi- 
vidual research projects. The goal of the investigations was to de- 
termine the social and cultural changes that took place when the 
people of Hay Hollow site were shifting from a hunting-gathering 
subsistence to an agricultural base. From carbon 14 determinations, 
the site dates from about 200 B.c. to A.D. 200. 

Dr. Fred Reinman, Assistant Curator of Oceanic Archaeology 
and Ethnology, completed his archaeological field work on Guam in 
June. The expedition, supported by the National Science Founda- 
tion, located 186 sites and excavated five of these, ranging in time 
from the beginning of the Christian era to modern times. The re- 
mainder of the year was spent at the Museum in analyzing the large 
quantity of pottery, fishing gear, tools of stone, bone and shell, and 
food remains recovered from the prehistoric house sites. 

During the summer Dr. James W. VanStone, Associate Curator 
of North American Archaeology and Ethnology, worked on a long 
range project for the study of culture change during the 19th cen- 
tury among the Indians and Eskimos of southwestern Alaska, par- 
ticularly the effect of Western impact on these groups. He used 
archaeological techniques to supplement the available ethnographic 
and archival data. He excavated a historic Tanaina Indian village 
on Lake Clark and collected ethnographic data. The work was 
undertaken with the joint support of the National Museum of Can- 
ada and the University of Manitoba. Students from the latter in- 
stitution assisted. Toward the end of the summer he carried out 
additional surveys and collected settlement pattern data in the 
Nushagak River region where he hopes to do additional field work.

There are many gaps in the Museum’s ethnographic collections 
from Africa. In order to fill some of them Leon Siroto, Assistant 
Curator of African Ethnology, has been encouraging graduate stu- 
dents in anthropology and other persons going to Africa to collect 
needed material. Useful collections have already been made by 
Robert Asher of Chicago and William Sytek of the University of 
Chicago. 

Mrs. Christine Danziger, Conservator, expanded the kinds of 
materials studied and treated in the Conservation Laboratory. The 
major part of her efforts was devoted to the cleaning and restoration 
of painted wood carvings and the treatment of leather specimens 

The educational effort of the Department of Anthropology con- 
tinued at a somewhat accelerated rate. Phillip Lewis and James 
VanStone were appointed Lecturers in Anthropology at the Univer- 
sity of Chicago. Also, at Northwestern University, Lewis gave a 
course on The Art of Non-literate Peoples. Chief Curator Donald 
Collier and Kenneth Starr, Curator, Asiatic Archaeology and Eth- 
nology, gave courses at the University of Chicago. Of particular 
interest was the increase in emphasis on undergraduate work in An- 
thropology. Dr. Martin’s Summer Course in Archaeology was given 
to eight talented undergraduates, Curators Collier, Starr, Cole and 
Siroto participated in the Raymond Foundation’s Summer Science 
Course in Anthropology, for Chicago area high school students.

The Museum’s long term field and research program in the botany 
of the new world tropics gained momentum during 1966. Major 
field work was carried out in Central America and in Peru during the 
year. Dr. William C. Burger, Assistant Curator of Vascular Plants, 
Ing. Antonio Molina R., Field Associate, and Dr. Louis O. Williams, 
Chief Curator, collected in previously little known areas of Nicaragua 
and Costa Rica. Burger has begun work on an account of the vege- 
tation of Costa Rica, which has not been comprehensively studied for 
about 30 years. 

In 1966 Servicio Forestal y de Caza, of Peru, and Field Museum 
were engaged in a cooperative research project to study the forests 
and forest products of Amazonian Peru, a vast region mostly unex- 
plored botanically. The facilities of Servicio Forestal in Peru and 
the research capabilities of Field Museum in Chicago should make 
this a productive undertaking. Mr. Donald R. Simpson, who was 
appointed to the staff as Assistant Curator of Peruvian Botany, 
Dr. Williams and Mr. Schunke, began field work in this region at 
Iparia National Forest. Dr. Gabriel Edwin, Assistant Curator of 
Vascular Plants, also did field work in Peru in connection with his 
preparation of a study of the Scrophulariaceae for the Flora of Peru.

The cooperative studies of the Central American flora carried out 
by Escuela Agricola Panamericana (Honduras) and Field Museum 
have continued to be productive of research materials. Staff and a 
graduate student were in the field at.the beginning and again at the 
end of the year with Field Assistant Ing. Antonio Molina R. 

Dr. Patricio Ponce de Leon, Assistant Curator of the Crypto- 
gamic Herbarium, completed a monograph on the Geastraceae, a 
family of fungi. He began similar studies of the Lycoperdaceae, an 
allied family. Mrs. Dorothy N. Gibson, Custodian of the Herbarium, 
has completed manuscript accounts of two families for both the Flora 
of Peru and the Flora of Guatemala. Mr. Robert G. Stolze, Her- 
barium Assistant, made a collecting trip to the high Beartooth 
Mountains in Montana and Wyoming, east of Yellowstone National 
Park. His collections increase the usefulness of the Museum’s repre- 
sentation from the Rocky Mountains region. 

The Museum’s botanical field program was highly productive. 
Nine-five accessions were made during the year, for a total of about 
43,000 specimens. Some 23,000 specimens came in from our coop- 
erative Central American program; about 6,000 from the Beartooth 
Mountains; and al- 
most 400 from the 
Street Expedition to 
Afghanistan, the re- 
mainder from gifts and 
exchanges. Original 
sets of Museum expe- 
dition collections are 
deposited in our her- 
barium while dupli- 
cates are sent to scien- 
tific institutions around 
the world.

Geology 4 ~ pei 


Dr. Robert F. Mueller, Research Associate in Mineralogy, and Dr. 
Edward J. Olsen, Curator of Mineralogy, have finished three major 
papers on their meteorite work. They have just undertaken a large 
project to study diffusion in stone meteorites. 

In 1966 Dr. Louis Fuchs of Argonne National Laboratory and 
Olsen discovered three new minerals in two of the Museum’s meteo- 
rites. Brianite and panethite were found in the Dayton meteorite 
and krinovite in the Wichita County meteorite. They have not yet 
been found as terrestrial minerals. The former two have been com- 
pletely described and approved by the International Mineralogical 
Association. 

Olsen also identified the amphibole richterite (soda tremolite) in 
the iron meteorite Wichita County. Amphiboles, which contain com- 
bined water, are extremely common in terrestrial rocks, but until

carats of blue topaz, cut for the 
Museum by Walter Kean. It

blue topaz. 


now, none has ever been found ina meteorite. This particular occur- 
rence gives information about the environment in which the meteo- 
rite was formed and about the abundance of water in primitive solar 
matter. 

In conjunction with a group from Argonne National Laboratory, 
Olsen published work on the metal-chemical characteristics of ancient 
copper-based artifacts in the journal Science. Using highly sophisti- 
cated techniques, they measured impurities in the copper used in 
making the various artifacts, which ranged from Palestinian battle- 
axes to Mexican bells and Peruvian tools. The relative proportions 
of the impurities give clues to the type of ore-source and may ulti- 
mately lead to a geographic identification of the ore-sources. 

The collection of meteorites, one of the largest, and certainly one 
of the most useful collections in the world, containing representatives 
of more than half the known world total of meteorites, was entirely 
retrayed during the year. The late Mr. Henry Horback relabelled 
a major part of it. Several large iron meteorites which were badly 
rusted have been cleaned by the Conservation Laboratory of the 
Department of Anthropology. From rough material in our mineral 
collection, a 1400-carat white topaz was cut by Mr. Walter Kean. 
Thanks to arrangements made by Curator Olsen, a major meteorite 
exchange was completed with Arizona State University. 

Dr. Bertram G. Woodland, Curator of Igneous and Metamorphic 
Petrology, advanced his study of deformed metamorphic rocks from 
central Vermont. His particular problem is the microscopic investi- 
gation of the orientation of mineral grains in these rock specimens 
which will give clues to the deformational history of the area. Study 
of metamorphic rocks from the central Black Hills of South Dakota 
continued, and metamorphic rocks in the Blue Ridge area of North 
Carolina have been collected and examined. 

Dr. John Clark, Associate Curator of Sedimentary Petrology, ex- 
tended his study of Oligocene paleogeography from South Dakota 
into Nebraska and Wyoming. The 1966 field project with Orville L. 


14 


Gilpin, Chief Preparator of Fossils, yielded new information and 
specimens of fossil vertebrates. Clark finished a paper on a new 
family of extinct insectivorous mammals. 


Dr. Eugene S. Richardson, Jr., Curator of Fossil Invertebrates, 
and Professor Ralph G. Johnson of the University of Chicago, a Re- 
search Associate at the Museum, have continued their program of 
field and laboratory work on the rich fossil fauna of the Coal Age, 
using specimens collected from strip mines of the Peabody Coal 
Company, south of Chicago. 


Matthew H. Nitecki, Associate Curator of Fossil Invertebrates, 
has been working on the receptaculitids. He is undertaking a sys- 
tematic revision of the Middle Paleozoic forms, which are algae, not 
sponges as is generally assumed. During the summer of 1966, Nitecki 
did field work in the Ozark region of Missouri and the Mississippi 
valley region. 

Dr. Robert H. Denison, Curator of Fossil Fishes, completed a 
study of Ordovician vertebrates from western North America, based 
principally on collections made in 1949, 1964 and 1965. His paper 
describes the numerous fragmentary remains, considers their growth, 
and examines the histology of the various hard tissues of their skele- 
tons. During 1966 Denison also finished a description of the earliest 
known lungfish, specimens of which have been found at the Museum’s 
quarry in the early Devonian rocks of the Bighorn Mountains of 
Wyoming. 

Associate Curator of Fossil Mammals, Dr. William D. Turnbull, 
continued work on two major studies: one on the mammalian masti- 
catory apparatus and a report on the mammalian tooth remains of 
the Hamilton Fauna (Late Pliocene) of Australia. Both are near 
completion. The study of the Hamilton Fauna is a joint project by 
Curator Turnbull and Dr. E. L. Lundelius, Jr., of the University of 
Texas. The animals they are describing are an important link in 
mammalian evolution in Australia. Specimens, however, are few. 
In 1963-64 Turnbull and Lundelius collected 145 teeth from over 
three tons of matrix. In order to provide a more adequate sampling 
of the fauna, they returned to Australia late in 1966 and processed 
several times the amount of matrix treated in the original trip. 


Dr. Rainer Zangerl, Chief Curator of Geology, worked on several 
Pennsylvanian sharks from the Mecca and Logan Quarry shales of 
Indiana; in particular, he analyzed the numerous specimens of Agas- 
sizodus. He also wrote a manuscript on the shell of turtles for the 
forthcoming Biology of Reptiles, Academic Press.

Zoology 
Chief Curator Austin L. Rand brought his Handbook of New 
Guinea Birds close to publication and opened a new exhibit on Con- 
vergence, showing how different animals—birds in the exhibit— 
evolve similar structures to deal with similar situations. Rand also 
finished the section Nectariniidae (sunbirds) for a forthcoming vol- 
ume of Peters’ Checklist of the Birds of the World. 


DIVISION OF MAMMALS—Curator Joseph Curtis Moore reported 
on two genera of Pacific whales to the Eleventh Pacific Science Con- 
gress in Tokyo. He completed manuscript on the superfamily of 
beaked whales for publication in the Museum series Fieldiana. Re- 
search Curator Philip Hershkovitz neared the end of his book on 
the marmosets of South America. Associate Jack Fooden, working 
on macaque monkeys, left for Thailand at the end of the year. For 
four months he will be in the field investigating macaques in areas 
where two or more kinds occur together. He will seek evidence of 
intergradation or hybridization and look for interactions of members 
of two species meeting naturally in the field. Analysis of data from 
the W.S. and J. K. Street Expedition to Afghanistan occupied Jerry 
Hassinger and Hans Neuhauser. Hassinger, a Street Expedition 
Fellow, and a Thomas J. Dee Fellow of the Museum, has been work- 
ing on the terrestrial mammals of the area. Neuhauser, also a 
Thomas J. Dee Fellow, worked on the bats. Both men participated 
in the expedition in 1965.

DIVISION OF BIRDS—The single most important acquisition of the 
year was a mounted specimen of the Great Auk received from the 
Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles, Brussels, in exchange for a 
suite of North American birds. There are only 78 Great Auk speci- 
mens left in the world, and this is only the tenth in North America. 
It probably came from Eldey Island, Iceland, prior to 1840. For 
some years in private hands, it passed to the Brussels museum and 
finally to Chicago. Emmet R. Blake, Curator of Birds, formally 
launched his research project on the birds of Central and South 
America, with an assistant from a National Science Foundation grant. 
The year was spent in intensive work on the more than 500 species 
of birds which will be covered in the first volume of The Manual of 
Neotropical Birds. Several volumes are expected in the next few 
years. Associate Curator Melvin A. Traylor completed a study of 
the evolution of the birds of the Andes Mountains and presented a 
paper on the subject at the International Ornithological Congress at 
Oxford. He worked also on the African Sylviidae (Old World 
Warblers) for Peters’ Checklist of Birds of the World. 


DIVISION OF AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES—Curator Robert F. 
Inger completed an ecological and taxonomic study of some 33,000 
frog specimens from Garamba National Park, Congo. Inger ob- 
served and collected in this Congolese National Park, and his field 
experiences have richly contributed to his forthcoming report on this 
varied African fauna. Inger left for Washington in September on a 
year’s leave of absence. He was appointed Program Director of 
Environmental Biology, National Science Foundation. Associate 
Curator Hymen Marx and Dr. George B. Rabb, Associate Director 
of Brookfield Zoo and a Research Associate of the Museum, studied 
the phylogenetic relationships of the poisonous viperine snakes. In 
another cooperative effort, Mr. Marx and Dr. Konrad Klemmer, of 
the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt-am-Main, are preparing a 
checklist of the poisonous snakes of the family Elapidae, which in- 
cludes the cobras, coral snakes and kraits. The cobras, because of 
their habits, size and proximity to densely populated areas, probably 
take a higher toll of human life than any other snakes. 


DIVISION OF FISHES—Curator Loren P. Woods continued revision 
of the Order Berycoidei for publication in the Sears Foundation 
Memoir Fishes of the Western North Atlantic. The berycoids are 
primitive, spiny-rayed fish. Additional work on the order involved 
examining and reporting on collections from the waters off Easter 
Island in the southeast Pacific and the Maldives in the Indian Ocean.

DIVISION OF INSECTS—The most important event of the year was 
the publication by Field Museum of Ectoparasites of Panama, the 
fruit of a cooperative project supported by U. S. Army Medical Re- 
search and Development Command, Office of the Surgeon General. 
Twenty specialists collaborated in writing the 850-page book which 
was edited by Curator Rupert Wenzel and Lt. Col. Vernon J. Tipton. 
It includes 18 papers dealing with the classification, biology and ecol- 
ogy of the mites, ticks, fleas, lice and other blood-sucking external 
parasites of vertebrates, chiefly mammals, that occur in Panama. 
The papers are based principally on extensive survey collections 
made by the Army, U.S. Public Health Service and Gorgas Memorial 
Laboratory from 1959 to 1962. More than 360 species of parasites 
are treated. Fifteen new genera and more than 115 new species are 
described. The book is the most comprehensive treatment of its kind 
for any tropical country. It will be used to assist in identifying po- 
tential disease carriers during bio-medical surveys being conducted 
along possible routes for a new trans-Isthmian canal. Remarkable 
progress was made in the processing of collections. A great backlog, 
however, of unprepared specimens totaling about three-quarters of 
a million insects remains to be processed. The backlog constitutes 
perhaps the major problem of the Division, a problem which must 
be solved if the rich collection resources are to be made available to 
research workers. The most important acquisition of the year was 
the Alexander Bierig Collection of over 30 thousand beetles. A small 
but highly significant exchange shipment of 25 histerid beetles from 
Dr. O. Kryzhanovskij of the Zoological Institute of Leningrad repre- 
sents the first exchange of insect research material between Field 
Museum and the Leningrad Institute.

The gentle jird, Meriones crassus, is a common Asiatic Sodaad: It is one of over 100 
species of mammals reported on by Douglas Lay in the Museum’s forthcoming 
Mammals of Iran, a Report of the Street Expedition to Iran. The Streets have led 
two expeditions for Field Museum recently, the latest, 1965, to Afghanistan, resulted 
in a significant increase in our knowledge of animals of this area. 

DIVISION OF LOWER INVERTEBRATES—Alan Solem, Curator, sub- 
stantially completed the text for a monograph of Pacific Island endo- 
dontid snails. Many things go into the making of a scientific mono- 
graph and several assistants were occupied with illustration of shells 
and soft parts, preparation of charts, mounting, labeling, statistical 
calculations and so forth. Solem began another long range study, the 
problems associated with shell reduction in gastropods. Mr. Laurie 
Price, who has collected for Dr. Solem for some years, spent the 
Australian spring, from mid-October to mid-December, collecting in 
Tasmania. 


DIVISION OF VERTEBRATE ANATOMY-—Assistant Curator Karel 
F. Liem completed his work on the functional morphology of the 
respiratory mechanisms of the amphibious fish Monopterus albus. 
He found that this Asiatic fish, which can live out of water for indefi- 
nite periods in moist land environments, breathes with its skin and 
the linings of the mouth, gill cavity and esophagus. Even in water, 
seventy-five per cent of the total oxygen requirement is gathered 
from the air and only twenty-five from water. Liem also completed 
functional anatomical studies on the kissing gourami Helostoma, and 
Luciocephalus pulcher, another air-breathing Asiatic fish. He began 
a study of the explosive adaptive radiation of the fish family Cichli- 
dae in Lake Tanganyika.

Exhibition 

As mentioned earlier, an initial step toward a more active exhi- 
bition program was taken early in the year with the establishment 
of a separate Department of Exhibition. Artists, preparators, and 
technicians previously assigned to one or another of the four scien- 
tific departments are now joined in a single force so that their diversi- 
fied talents and skills may be applied with greater coordination and 
flexibility in the exhibition program. 


The arrival from South America and subsequent exhibition of the Sierra 
Sagrada, piloted alone by Francis Brenton, caused considerable stir in 
Chicago during 1966. These photos show the boat as it came to the 
Museum. Brenicn is at lower right, helping with the exhibit. 

A second preliminary step has been the creation of an Exhibition 
Committee, charged with over-all planning of a comprehensive, bal- 
anced program that best employs the resources of the Museum in 
providing for all who seek information about the natural world. 


20 


Progress was made in two major undertakings begun before con- 
solidation of the exhibition staff; these are the revision of exhibits 
dealing with Tibet and work toward the completion of the Hall of 
Useful Plants. However, a large number of special exhibits and 
events absorbed much of the efforts of the exhibition staff. Some of 
these were annual events such as the 21st Chicago Exhibition of 
Nature Photography sponsored by the Chicago Nature Camera Club; 
the 2nd Annual Chicago Shell Fair sponsored by the Chicago Shell 
Club; the 16th Annual Amateur Handcrafted Gem and Jewelry Com- 
petitive Exhibition sponsored by the Chicago Lapidary Club; draw- 
ings and other forms of art work by students of the Junior School of 
the Art Institute of Chicago; and the all too brief Orchid Show spon- 
sored by the Illinois Orchid Society in November. 

An exhibition of paintings and drawings by Abelam and Kilengi 
people of the Territory of New Guinea obtained by Dr. Philip C. 
Dark, Research Associate, and Dr. Robert MacLennan, inaugurated 
the use of the Museum’s new special exhibition gallery in Hall 9 on 
4 March. It was followed in May by a display of rubbings by Mrs. 
Merle Smith from Maya stone carvings. An exhibition of floral lino- 
block prints by Henry Evans, one of bird paintings by Mrs. Florence 
Guise, based in part on studies of specimens in the Museum’s col- 
lections, and a display of work by students enrolled in a Summer Art 
Seminar sponsored by the Chicago Board of Education were others 
in the series of non-recurring special exhibits. The display in Stanley 
Field Hall of a catamaran made of two Indian dugout canoes assem- 
bled by Francis Brenton and sailed by him from Cartagena, Colom- 
bia, to Burnham Harbor in Chicago, created a great deal of public 
interest. Almost as sudden and unexpected was the opportunity to 
exhibit the work of Huang Chun-pi and Kao Yi-hung, two of 
Nationalist China’s foremost painters in the classic tradition. Both 
artists were in attendance during the exhibition from November 10 
to 18 and demonstrated their methods of painting on two occasions, 
one of which was in Simpson Theatre for the general public. 

Several displays of recent accessions were exhibited in Stanley 
Field Hall. These were: a painting by M. Gudin, court painter to 
King Louis Phillipe of France, portraying a canoe race between In- 
dians and French sailors, which was presented to the Museum by 
Mrs. A. W. F. Fuller; selected minerals from a collection given by 
Mr. Glenn Commons; and a huge quartz crystal weighing 350 pounds 
obtained by purchase. A faceted blue topaz, the Chalmers topaz, 
weighing 5,890 carats, also obtained by purchase, was placed in a 
special display case on the south second floor gallery.

Library 


Two illustrations from Die Siugethiere, The 
Library received an extremely rare, com- 
plete set of this work published from 1775 to 
1835. 


In 1966 the Museum Library experienced, more than ever before, 
the impact of the current emphasis on education and research. This 
increased pressure was felt, on the one hand, from greater numbers 
of readers, and on the other from the growing number of newly- 
acquired books and documents. Expanded research has accelerated 
the cooperative inter-library loan program. Reading Room attend- 
ance increased 21 per cent in 1966, and circulation rose over 38 per 
cent. Full use of the Library’s resources cannot be computed accu- 
rately because Reading Room activities do not include statistics of 
the literature used in the departmental and divisional libraries by 
staff, visiting colleagues and students. Statistics also fail to reflect 
many other activities such as the consultation of reference works 
and the various abstracting and indexing services. With the appoint- 
ment, in October, 1966, of a full time assistant in the Reading Room, 
the service has become much more efficient. In addition, the two 
exhibit cases installed in the Reading Room for displays of special 
collections enable visitors to see our rare and unusual books, and at 
the same time serve an important function in the Museum’s public 
relations. 

The Library’s acquisitions program has been moving at an accel- 
erated pace. During 1966 more than 11,200 books and periodicals 
were added to the collection. 

The usefulness of the card catalog has been extended by the ad- 
dition of 26,740 cards. The catalog is the key instrument for the 
retrieval of information from the Library’s resources, which were 
augmented by the addition of 2,900 titles representing 6,100 volumes. 


22 


There was most satisfactory progress on the Library’s reclassifi- 
cation program, as well. 1,930 title cards corresponding to 4,280 
volumes were reclassified. It is expected that this herculean task 
will be completed within the next few years. 


Many gifts from individuals, governments and institutions were 
received. The most important is an extremely rare set of all seven 
volumes of Die Stugethiere in Abbildungen Nach Der Natur (trans- 
lated Animal Kingdoms), by J. C. D. von Schreber. These books, 
published between 1775 and 1835, were given to the Museum by 
Mrs. Frederick F. Sellers. To all those who have made donations 
to the Library, and to all those who have contributed by their efforts 
and interest, the Library wishes to extend its cordial thanks. 


Building Operations 


Hall 9 Gallery, designed to house special exhibits and to act as a 
rest area for visitors, was opened this year. Work on Hall 32, which 
will house a permanent exhibit on the civilization of Tibet, accel- 
erated. Well-appointed new offices for the Department of Develop- 
ment and Planning, which includes Public Relations and the Women’s 
Board, and for the Raymond Foundation, were designed and com- 
pleted during the year. 


Public Information Services 


Field Museum Press published over 2,000 pages of scientific ma- 
terial in 1966, in fourteen papers and monographs of varying length. 
Responsible also for the Bulletin and a great deal of miscellaneous 
internal and external printing—brochures, pamphlets and the like— 
the Press had an active and productive year. The Division of Public 
Relations, intensifying its efforts to bring the story of Field Museum 
to the public, saw increased coverage of Museum work and events 
by the metropolitan press, the wire services, television networks and 
other media. The Museum Book Store, serving visitors to the Mu- 
seum and others, added two hundred titles to its stock of natural 
history books and increased its sales by fourteen per cent. The 
skilled members of the Divisions of Photography and Motion Pic- 
tures added their essential photographic art to the publishing and 
public relations programs, and continued their important contribu- 
tions to the research effort of the four scientific departments.

Note: The Museum converted its group annuity pension plan on December 31, 
1966 into a contributory trusteed pension plan which provides for liberalized 
pension benefits. A substantial unfunded past service liability exists under the 
new plan, but current actuarial estimates hereof are not yet available. In 1966, 
a contribution of $150,000 was made to the pension trust to fund a portion of 
this liability. This amount was made up of $50,000 withdrawn from unre- 
stricted endowment and $50,000 appropriated from income in each of the years 


1965 and 1966.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, 
FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY: 


We have examined the accompanying comparative statement of receipts and 
expenditures—current funds of the Field Museum of Natural History for the year 
ended December 31, 1966. Our examination was made in accordance with gen- 
erally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the 
accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary 
in the circumstances. 


In our opinion, the statement mentioned above presents fairly the receipts 
and expenditures of the current funds of the Field Museum of Natural History 
for the year ended December 31, 1966, in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.
