REPORT OF THE SECRETARY.
To the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution :

Gentlemen : — During the past year the several parts of the plan of
organization have been prosecuted as efficiently as the portion of the in-
come which could be devoted to them would jiermit. The financial affairs
ve in a prosperous condition, and though the funds are burthened with
the erection of a costly building, and the expenditures trammeled by re-
strictions growing out of the requisitions of the charter of incorporation,
yet the results thus far obtained, are such as satisfactorily to prove that
the Institution is doing goo'd service in the way of promotmg and diffusing
knowledge.

Though the programme of organization has been given in two of the
annual reports and extensively published in the newspapers, its character
does not appear to be a^ widely known and as property appreciated ai
oould be desired. Indeed it will be necessary at intervals to republish the
terms of the bequest, and also ttie geqeral principles of the plan /whicU

[1] «

has been adopted, in order that the public may not onir be informed of
what the Institution is accomplishing, but also reminded of what ought
reasonably to be expected from its o^rations. Moreover, there is a ten-
dency in the management of public institutions to lose sight of the object
for which tbey were estabhshed, and hence it becomes important fre-

?uently to advert to the principles by which they ought to be governed,
beg leave, therefore, as mtroductory to this report, briefly to recapitulate
8om6 of the propositions of the programme of organization, and to state
•ome of the facts connected with its adoption.

Smithson left his property, in case of the death of his nephew, to whom
it was first bequeathed, " to found at Washington under the name of the
Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion oi
knowledge among men." These are the only words of the testator to
serve as a guide to the adoption of a plan for the execution of his benevo-
lent design. They are found, however, when attentively considered to
admit of legitimate deductions sufficiently definite and comprehensive.

1. The tequest is made to the United States, in trust for the good of
mankind.

2. The objecis of the Institution are two-fold ; first, to increase, se-
cond, to diffuse knowledge ; objects which, though often confounded with
each other, are logically distinct and ought to be separately regarded.
The first is the enlargement of the existing stock of knowledge by the
discovery of new truths, and the second is the dissemination of these and
other truths among men.

3. No particular kind of knowledge is designated, hence a liberal inter-
pretation of the bequest will exclude no part of the great domain of science
and literature from the degree of attention its importance may demand.

4. Since mankind are to he benefitted by the bequest, any unnecessary
expenditure on merely local objects, would not be in accordance with the
proper administration of the trust.

0. Though the funds are generally considered large, and much is ex-
pected of them, they are really small in proportion to the demands made
upon them. The annual income of the bequest, is less than half the co«t
of the publication of a single yearly report of the Patent ofhce.

6. In order therefore, that the limited income may effect the greatest
amount of good, it should be expended in doing that which cannot be done
■s well by other means.

These views which have commanded the assent of all unprejudiced and
reflecting persons, who have studied the subject, have been the guiding
principles in all cases in which I have had any power of direction, and I
am happy to say they are fully adopted by the present directors and ofiG-
cers of^the Institution.

To carry out the design of the testator, various plans were proposed,
but most of these were founded on an imperfect apprehension of the terms
of the Will. The great majority of them contemplated merely the diffu-
sion of popular information, and neglected the iirst and the most promi-
nent requisition of the bequest, namely : the " increase of knowledge,"
The only plan in strict conformity with the terms of the Will, and which
especially commended itself to men of science, a class to which Smithson
himself belonged, was that of an active living organization, intended prin-
cipally to promote the discovery and diffusion of new truths by instituting
original researches, under the direction of suitable peTBOns, in History,

.Gooj^Ic

JLntiquities, Ethnology and the various branches ol Physical Science, and
br publishing and mstnbuting among libraries and other public institu-
tions, accounts of the results which might thus be obtained, as well as of
those of the labors of men of talent which could not otherwise be given
to the world.

This plan which was probably in the mind of the donor when he gave
■expression to the few but comprehensive words which indicate the objects
of the bequest, is found from our experience to be eminently practical. It
requires no costly building or expensive permanent establishment. Its
operations, limited only by the amount of the income, are such as fo affeet
the condition of man wherever literature and science are cultivated, while
it tends in this xjountry to give an impulse to original thought, which,
amidst the Strife of politics, and the inordinate pursuit of wealth, is of
all things most desirable.

It was with the hope of being able to assist in the practical develop-
ment of this plan, that I was in<Uiced to accept the appointment of principal
executive officer of the Institution. Many unforeseen obstacles however
presented themselves to its full adoption, and its advocates soon found in
contenting with opposing Views and adverse interests, a wide difference
between what in their opinion ought to lie done and what they could actu-
ally accomplish.

The plan was novel and by many considered entirely chimerical ; indeed
itcould not be properly appreciated except by those who had been devoted
to original research. Besides this, the law of Congress incorporating the
Institution, while it did not forbid the expen^ture of a part of the income
for other objects, authorized the formation of a Library, a Museum and a
Gallery of Art, and the erection of a building, on a liberal scale, for their
■accommodation. It was indeed the opinion of many that the whole income
ought to be expended on these objects. The Regents did not consider
themselves at liberty to disregard the indications of Congress, and the
opinion expressed in favor of Collections, and after much discussion it
■was finally concluded to divide the income into two equal parts, and aflt-r
'deducting the general expenses, to devote one half to the active operationi
Tet forth in the plan just described; and Uhe other, to the formation of a
Library, a Museum and a Gallery of Art.

It was evident however that the small income of the original hequest,
though in itself sufficient to do much good in the way of active operaficn
was inadequate to carry out this more extended plan ; to maintain the
staff of attendants and to defray other contingent expenses incidental to
a lai^e establishment of this hind. Besides the Secretary and an Assistant '
tp attend to the general operations, two principal assistants would be re-
quired, one to take charge of the Library and the other of the Museum
of Natural Ifistory, and to these sufficient salaries must be given to secure
the services of men of the first reputation and talents in their respective
lines. It therefore became absolutely necessary that the income should
be increased, and in order to do this, it was proposed to save the greiiter
part of the #243,000 of accrued interest which Congress had authorized
to be expended in a building, by erecting at a cost not to exceed S'SOjOOO
the nucleus of an edifice which could oe expanded as the wants of the
Institution might require, and to add the remainder to the principal.

Unfortunately however, for this proposition. Congress had presented, to
the Institution, the great Museum of the Exploring Expedition, and a

■yGoOglf

[1] 8

majorit; of the Regents, su^^tosutg it neceasarj, to make immediate pre-
Tiston for the Rccommodfttion of this gift, had taken preliminary steps,
previous to my appointment, to construct a Urge building, and indeed a
majority of the committee, to which the matter was referred, had deter-
mined to adopt the plan of the present edifice. Strenuous opposition wac
however made to this ; and as a compromise it was finally agreed to dra^r
from the U. S, Treasury S350,000 of accrued interest, and instead of ex-
pending this immediately in completing the plan of the proposed building,
to invest it in treasury notes, then at par, and to finish the building in the
course of five years, in part out of the interest of these notes, in part out of
the sale of a portion of them, and also in part out of a portion of the
annual interest accruing on the original be(|ucst. It was estimated that in
this way, at the end of five years, besides devoting $350,1)00 to the build-
ing, the annual income of the Institution would be increased from $30,000 -
to nearly $40,000, a sum sufficient to carry out all the provisions of the
programme.

Arter the resolutions relative to the division of the iiccma between
collections on the one hand and active operations on the other had been
adopted, and the plan of finance iis to the building had been settled, I
was requested to confer with persons of literary and scientific reputa-
tion and to digest into the form of a general programme the several re-
solutions of the Board. In the programme which was thus produced and
afterwards adopted, it is attempted to harmonize the, di fcrent proposi-
tions of the Board and to render them alt, library, collections, kc, as far
as possible," subservient to a living, active organization. Though a
valuable library will in time be accumulated, by donation and the ex-
change of the publications of the Institution, the design at first is to
purchase only such books as are immediately necessary in (he other opera-
tions of the Institution, or which cannot be procured in this country, and
the Librarian is required to perform other duties than those which pertain
to the office of an ordinary collector and curator of books. He is directed
to report on plans of libraries, and the bjst method of n aiaging them:
to collect the statistics of the libraries of the United Stales ; to make a
general catalogue as far as possible of all the books in this country, and to
procure all the information necessary for rendering the Institution a centre
of bibliographical knowledge. Instead of attempting to form a miscella-
neous collection of objects of nature and art, it is proposed to collect only
those whiph will yield a harvest of new results, and to preserve principally
«uch as are not found in other collections, or will serve to illustrate and
verity the Smithsonian publications.

The tendency of an Institution in which collections form a prominent
object, is constantly towards a stationary condition ; with a given income,
the time must inevitably come when the expenditures ncctssary to accom-
modate the articles with house room and attendance will just equal the
receipts. There is indeed no plan by which the funds of an Institution
may be more inefficiently expended, than that of filling a costly building
with an indiscriminate collection of objects of curiosity, and givirg these
in charge to a set of inactive curators. Happily, the programme of or-
^nization and the system of expenditure which the Regents have adopted,
if rigidly adhered to, will prevent this state of things, and happily the spirit
oi the present directors and officers who are to give the initial form to the

.vGooglf

9 [1]

ebaracter of the Institution, is in accordance with aa active operatioui as
tiie state of the funds and requisitions of Congress will allow.

It 19 to be regretted tbat Congress did not leare the entire choice of tlw
plan of organization to those wno were to be intrusted with the manage-
iQent of the bequest, and that instead of the plan of a costly buildiog, there
had not been adopted the nucleus of a more simple edifice, which could
have been modified to meet the wants which experience might indicate.

The original estimate for the building, furniture and improvement of
the grounds was $250,000, and could the artual cost have been confined
to this sum, all the results anticipated from the scheme of finance which
had been adopted, would have been realized at the end of five years.
During the past year, however, it has been found necessary, for the better
protection of the collections, to order the fire proofing of the interior of
the edifice at an increased expense of $44,000. This additional draft on
the funds can only be met by extending the time for the completion of
the building, and even this will require ihe appropriation oi a portion of
the income which ought to be devoted to other purposes. The active
operations will suffer most by this diaft on the income, since it will be
made for the better accommodation of the Library and the Museum.

It must not be inferred from the foregoing account, that the affairs of
the Institution are in an unfavorable condition; on the contrary, though
they are not in every respect what could be wished, still, under the ar-
cumstances 1 have mentioned, they are much better than could have been
anticipated. The funds are in a very prosperous state and all the obsta-
cles in the way of the usefulness of the establishment, may, by judicious
management in time be removed. The opposition which was made to the
building, led to the adoption of the plan of finance to which I have here-
tofore adverted, and from thb has been realized much more than could
have been expected.

After all the expenditures which have been made on the building, grounds,
publications, researches, purchase of books and apparatus, not only is the
original bequest untouched, but there is now on hand upwards of S500,00O
of accruetl interest. This will be sufficient to finish the exterior of the
building, including all the towers, the interior of the Things, ranges, and a
part of the interior of the main edifice; which will afford sufficient accom-
modation for some years te come, and leave 1|I50,000 to be added to the
principal.

This result has been produced by a rigid adherence to the determina-
tion of increasing the annual income, and in accorilance with this, and iq
obedience to the direction of the Hoard of Regents, a petition has been
presented to Congress, asking that ©150,000 may be taken from the In-
stitution and placed in the Treasury of the United States, on the same
terms as those of the acceptance of the original bequest, never to be ex-
pended, and yielding a perpetual interest of six per cent.

If this petition be granted, all the funds will be permanently and safely
invested, and the original income will be increased from $30,000 to nearly
|!40,000. Out of this, beside carrying on the more important object of
the plan, it is proposed to appropriate yearly, a small sum for the gradual
completion of the interior of the building.

The great importance of a small addition to the income will be evident,
when it is recollected that a definite sum is annually required to defray
the necessary expenses of the establishment, and that after this has beea

[ J ] 10

provied, every ad£ti«K will te«d to produce ft grebteT ^oportional
amount of useful effect. The proposed increise ■will be Suflitient to pay
all the salaries of the officers, and leave the original income in a gre^
measure free to be applied to the objects contempTated in the plan,

At the last meeting of the Board, Professor Batrd of Dickinson College,
Penn'a., a gentleman distinguished for his attainments in science was ap*
pointed an Assistant Secretary in the department of Natural History. His
appomtmcnt was made at this time, more particularly in order that bis
services might be secured to take charge of the publications and that we
might avail ourselves of the ample experience which he had gained in this
line. He entered on his duties in July last, and besides being actively
engaged in organizing the department of Natural History, he has rendered
important service in conducting our foreign exchanges and attending to
the business of the press. This addition to our force was absolutely
necessary to a more efficient discharge of the duties which devolve on uS.
No person, except from actual experience, can form an idea of the amount
of labor required for the transaction of the ordinary business. The cor-
respondence alone, is sufficient to occupy, two persons continually during
the usual office hours.

During the past year one half of the whole income has been appropri-
ated to the building, and after deducting the general expenses, the remain-
der has been equally divided between the two great classes of objects
designated in the plan. The portion of the income after these divisions,
which could be devoted to any one object has been necessarily small ; for
example, all that could be expended for researches, publications and lec-
tures, and indeed for every thing of. which the public at a distance could
take immediate cognisance has not exceeded S14,'500, and yet out of
this sum we have been expected to produce results for which the whole
income would be entirely inadequate. I trust however, that a proper con-
sideration of the facts presented in the remainder of this report, will show
that much has been done in proportion to the means at our command.

PUBLICATION OF ORIGINAL HEUOIRS.

The important aid which can be rendered to the promotion of know-
ledge by the publication, and in some cases by assistance in the prepara-
tion of important memoirs, is now beyond all question. Experience has
thus far abundantly shown that much more matter of the most valuable
character will be presented for publication, free of all charge, than the
portion of the income devoted to this object will allow us to publish. In-
deed there is now on hand or in preparation, more material of this kind
than we shall be able with our limited income, to give to the world in
two or three years. In view of this fact, I cannot repress the expression
of regret which I have always felt, that the restrictions arising from the
requisitions of Congress, do not permit a greater expenditure for this most
important object. It is chiefly by the publications of the Institution that
its fame is to be spread through the world, and the monument most h^
fitting the name of Smithson, erected to lus memory.

Most of the distinguished foreign literary and scientific societies have
placed the Institution on their list of exchange, and in many instances have
presented not only the current volume of their transactions, but also ftiU
sets of the preceding volumes. We have reason to believe that beftm

the espiration of another year, we shall receive in exchange the tmosao
tjons of nearly all the learned societies of the WDrld, and that the Institu-
tion will be recogMzed by them as an active co-operator in the promotion
of knowledge. Profe'ssor Baird has furnished a list of the literary and
scientific societies to which the quarto volumes have been ptesented. {See
A^endix.]

The following Memtars, an account of which was given in my last re-
tort have been printed, or are now in the press :
. Researches relative to the planet Neptune; by S. C, Walker,

2. Contributions to the Physical Geography of the United States; by

Charles Ellet, Jr.

3. Memoir on the Expiosiveness of Nitre ; by Dr. Robert Hare.

4. On the Aboriginal Monuments of the State of New'Vork ; by E. G.

5. Memoir on the Reciprocal Action of two Galvanic Currents; by A.

Secchi, «f Georgetown College.

6. On the Classification ©f Insects, from Embryological Data; by Professor

Louis Agassiz.

7. Monograph of Mosasaurus and the Allied Genera; by Dr. R. W. Gibbes.
Besides these, several other papers not described in ray last report have

leen printed, and are ready for separate distribution. The first of these
I shall mention, is by Professor Lieber, of the College, of South Caro-
lina, on the vocal sounds of Laura Britlgman, the blind and deaf mute,
whose mind, apparently for ever consigned to darkness, has been almost
miraculously enlightened, by the sagacity, ingenuity and perseverance of
Dr. Howe.

There is perhaps at this time, no living human being who offers to the
psychologist, so attractive an object of study as this individual; and hence
every observation relative to her peculiar habits is of great interest. Dr.
Lieber has, from year to rear during his summer vacations, been in the
habit of visiting Laura Bridgman, and on one occasion, spent three months
in her immediate neighborhood, for the purpose of studying the sounds
which she utters as indicative of ideas. These sounds consist principally
of such as she has voluntarily adopted to dtsignate different individuals.
The results of the observations given in this paper, are accompanied by a
series of philosophical deductions and suggestions which cannot fail to
interest the psychologist and physiologist. This memoir is illustrated by
an engraved Jac simile of a letter from Laura Bridgman's own hand.

The next paper is by Professor Bailey of West Point. This gentleman
has rendered himself favorably known to the world of science by his re-
searches on minute animals and plants, which, though mostly unseen by
the naked eye, are found as widely distributed, and as permanent and defi-
nite in character as the largest organized objects in nature. This paper
gives the results of a series of microscopic obsen^afions which the author
made during his sojourn in the southern part of the United States, whither he
was ordered last winter on account of his health. It designates numerous
localities of microscopic animals and plants, and furnishes lists of the spe-
cies found in each. It also contains a series of tables presenting a number
of species with the different localities where each was found. The species
so classed include those of the Desmidieae, Diatomacex, Infusorice and
Algffi. Following these is a description of numerous other species, most
of which are represented by lithographic figures.

DolzeclbvGOOgle

[I] 12

Amoog the interesting facts arrived at by the author, are the discovery

of an extensive stratum of Fossil Infusoria near Tampa Bay, Florida

the existence of Infusoria in the rice fields of the south, and the demon-
stration of the cosmopolite character of many microscopic objects hitherto
believed to exist only in Europe.

Another paper by the same author, but presented to the Institution b^
Professor Bache, Superintendent of the U, S. Coast Survey, has reference to
a microscopic examination of soundings along the eastern coast of the
United States. Samples of all the materiiils brought up by the sounding
apparatus of the coast survey having been carefully preserved by Professor
Bache in bottles, and so arranged as to present as it were, the surface ge-
ology of the bottom of the sea within a certain distance from the shore.
Specimens of these were given to Professor Bailey for microscopic exami-
nation anil the results are presented in this paper. It exhibits the fact of
a high development of minute organic forms, mainly of Polythalomia, in
r)I deep soundings, varying from fifty-one to ninety fathoms occurring in
an abundance similar to that in which analogous fossil forms are found in
the marls under the city of Charleston. It also shows that each locality
has its predominant species, by means of which alone the region whence
they were taken may be indicated. Many of the conclusions derived are
of much interest to the mariner, the geologist and the naturalist. The
paper closes wilh^a brief description of the genera and species referred to,
embracing several that are new, the whole accompanied by numerous
figures.

In connection with the forejioing may be mentioned a paper by Mr.
Charles Girard, entitled " A Monograph of the Fresh water C'ottoids of
North America," which has been accepted, and will soon be published.
The species of fish called Cottus gobio, was supposed to be common to
Europe and America, and thus to form an exception to a general rule in
regard to the fresh water species of the two continents. It has been dis-
covered by Mr. Girard and others, that the European species as described
by Lijinffius, is really composed of several, and that while none of these
are found in North America, we have actually a number of species pecu-
liar to this country. The memoir contains elaborate descriplions of the
known species as well as of several new ones, together with coj'ious notes
on their scientific history, their geographical distribution, alfiriitics wilh
each other and wilh foreign species, anatomical structure, &c. — the whole
illustrated by appropriate figures. It is worthy of remark, that most of
the hitherto undescribed species presented in this memoir were collected
by Professor Baird, and now form a part of the Smithsonian collection.

Another memoir now in course of preparation, is one which will, of
itself occupy a considerable portion of one of the quarto volumes of the
Smithsonian contributions. It affords an interesting illustration of the
working of the plan of organization in the way of eliciting important
scientific knowledge which would not otherwise be produced, or if pro-
duced, could not be given to the world through any other channel.

This memoir consists of a description of the marine plants or AlgSB,
which are found along the eastern and southern coasts of the United Slates,
and which are deserving of attention, not only on account of their beauty,
variety and the illustrations they present of the growth and development
of vegetable forms, but also on account of their economical value with
reference to agriculture and the chemical arts. This volume is m tha

Viurw of preparation by Professor -Harvey of the University of Dublin,
Ireland, a gentleman who is recognised as the first authority in this branch
of Botany, He was induced to visit this country by an invitation to lec-
ture on the Algae before the Lowell Institute, and by the opportunity
thus offered him of studying his favorite branch of science in a new region.
After corapletiiig his lectures, he made a collection of the marine plants
of our coast and offered to furnish drawings of the genera and species of
thera with detailed descriptions free of all cost, provided the Institution
would bear the expense of publication.

Upon the warm recommendation of some of the principal botanists of
this country, the liberal offer of Professor Harvey was accepted, and he is
now engHged in making with his own hand the drawihgs on stone. —
The preparation of the whole work besides the time expended in collecting
the specimens, will occupy more than a year. This voluntary contribu-
tion to knowledge from a man of science may surprise those whose minds
are not liberalized by philosophical pursuits, and who cannot conceive any
object in labor unconnected with pecuniary gain.

It is proposed to color the plates of a part of the edition of this work
and to offer the copies containmg them for sale, to assist in defraying the
heavy expense of the publication, and to issue the work in parts so as to
distribute the cost through at least three years.

In addition to the foregoing an appendix — added to Mr, Squier's paper
on the ancient monuments of New Vork — has been printed. Also, there
has been such an urgent demand for copies of Mr, Ellet's paper on the
physical geography of the Mississippi Valley,' that it has been thought
advisable to reprint it and dislributo the whole of the first edition, among
all persons to whom a knowledge of its contents would be of peculiar
imporlance.

The several papers which have been described in this and the preceding
report will, when collected together, form the contents of the second and
part of the third volume.

The plan adopted of printing each memoir with a separate title and
paging has been founti to answer a good purpose. There is no delay in
printing one paper on account of the engraving of the plates of another,
and long before a volume can be completed, a separate memoir may be
widely circulated among those most interested in its perusal. As an ex-
ample of this, I may mention that one of the papers which forms part
of the second volume of the contributions, has already been reprinted in
the London and Edinburg Journal, with due credit given to this In-
stitution.

REPORTS ON THE PROGRESS OF KNOWLEDGE.

The income of the Institution as yet, has not been sufficient for fully
reducing to practice this part of the plan of organization. The prepara-
tion of these reports can only be entrusted to those who are familiar with
the subjects, and well skilled in the art of composition, and the sirvices
of such persons cannot be obtained without an adequate remuneration. Of
the several reports mentioned at the last meeting of the Board, but one
has been published, viz : that on the discovery of the planet Neptune, by
Dr. B. A. Gould, of Cambridge, editor of the Astronomical Journal, It has
\t9a stereotyped, and copies distributed amongst all our Meteorological

Gooj^lc

t n u

observers and other persona in the country, known to ui as beii^ actively
engaged in promoting the science of Astronomy.

' The preparation of the report on the Forest Trees of North America*
though delftj^ed in consequence of the absence of the author, Dr. Gray, of
Harvard University, on a visit to Europe, b still in progress. The illus-
trations are in the hands of the artists, and the first part will probably b*
published during the present year. The cost of this report on account of
the elaborate iilustrBtions, will be greater than was at first anticipated,
consequently the publication of the entire work roust necessarily be spread
over a number of years. It is believed, however, that a considerable part
of the expense will be repaid to the Institution, by the sale of copies at a
imall advance on the original cost.

The other reports on the Progress of Knowledge mentioned in my last
eommunication to the Regents are ready for the press and will be published
in whole or in part during th€: present year.

The Report on the statistics of Libraries of the United States, prepared
by Professor Jewett, has been ordered to be printed by Congress, as an
appendix to the Regents' Report. A sufficient number of extra copies will
be presented to the Institution, for distribution to all the libraries from
which statistical information was received. It forms a volume of about
two hundred and twenty-five lAges, and will, I am sure, be considered an
important contribution to Bibliographical Statistics.

mSTRIBUTIOH OF VUBLICATIONS.

We have found con^derable difficulty in deciding upon the rules to be
observed in the distribution of the Smithsonian publications. It must
be evident that from the small portion of the income which can be
devoted to tliia object the distribution must be circumscribed. Fifteen
hundred copies of each memoir have been printed, but this number though
all that the income could furnish, has not been found sufficient to meet a
tenth part of tbe demand. It ^ould be recollected, that though these
memoirs consist of the results of new investigations of the highest import-
ance to the well being of man, in extendmg the bounds of his know-
ledge of the universe of mind and matter of which he forms a part ; yet
they are not in all cases of such a character as to be immediately ap-
preciated by the popular mind, and indeed they are better adapted to
uistrufit the teacher than to interest the general reader. They should,
therefore, be distributed in such a way as most readily to meet the eye of
thc«e who will make the best us&of them in diffusing a knowledge of
their contents^ '

The following rules have been adopted for the distribution of the quarto
volumes of collections of memoirs-.

1. They are to be presented to all Learned Societies ^ich publish trans-
actions and give copies of these in exchange to the Institution^
3. Also, To all Foreign Librariesof the first class, provided they give in
exchange, their catalogues, or other publications, or an equivalent
from their duplicate voiiunes-
3. To all Colleges in actual operation in thia country ; provided they
furnish in return, meteorological observations^ catalogoes of their
Libraries and of their students, and all ether publications issued hy
them, relative to their organization and history.

The author of each nenoir receives, a» his enly compensation, a certain

individuals who may be occupied in the same line of research. In this,
way single memoirs are distributed to individuals, and especially to thoae
who are most actively engaged in promoting discoveries. Copies of the
reports, and also in some cases, of particular memoirs, ate sent to ajt
meteorological observers. Besides these, we have placed on the list the
more prominent Academies and Lyceums, as recipients o£ the minor
publications. It is also intended, in order to benefit the public more gene-
rally, to place on sale copies of memoirs and teport^ though on account
of the number required for the supply of Institutions, we have not as yet,
been able to carry this plan into effect.

No copyright has been taken for the Smithsonian publications ; they are
therefore free to be used by the compiJers o^ books, and m this way they
are beginning to reach the general leader and ta produce a beneficial effect
on the public mind.

UETEOBOLOGY.'

The system of meteorology under the divectioN of the Sffiithsonian
Institiition, has, during the last year made good progress. And though the
whole number of stations has not been much increased, yet the character
of the instruments adopted, and consequently, the value of the observa-
tions, has been improved both in precision and variety.

This system is intended to embrace, as far as possible, the whole surface
of North America, and to consist of three classes of observers. One
class, without instruments, to record the changes in the aspect of the sky,
the direction of the wind, the beginning and ending of rain, the appear-
ance of the Aurora, Slc. Another, in addition to the foregoing, to give an
account of the changes of temperature, as indicated by the tneiinometer.
A third class, furnished with full sets of instruments, to record all changes
deemed important in the study of meteorology.

To carry on this system, the Institution has received or expects to
feceive assistance from the following jsources ;
1. From the small appropriation made by Congress, to be expended under

the direction of the Navy Department.
3. Fraia the appropriations made by different States of the Union.

3. From the observations made under the direction of the Medical Depart-

ment of the United States Army.

4. From the Officers of Her Majesty's- service in different parts of the

British possessions in North America.

5. From observations made by institutions and individuals, in different

parts of the continent, who report immediately to the Smithsonian
Institution.
A small appropriation has been made by Congress for two years past, to
tw expended under the directioo of the t(avj I>epartment mr 0u>t«oiiolor

tn 16

gical purposes ; and Professor Espy, engaged under the act makin^r this
appropriation, has been directed to co-operate with the Institution, in
promotion of the common object. Besides the aid which we have re-
ceived from Professor Espy's knowledge of this subject, the general system
has been benefitted in the use of instruments purchased by the aurplus
of the appropriation, after paying the satarj- of the director and other
expenses. ^

During the last year. Professor Espy has been engaged in a series of
interesting and valuable experiments, on the variations of temperature,
produced by a sudden change in the density of air. The results obtained
are interesting in addition to science, and directly applicable to meteoro-
logy. The experiments were made in one of the rooms of the Smithso-
nian Institution, and with articles of apparatus belonging to the collection
which constituted the liberal donation of Dr. Hare of Philadelphia. An
account of these investigations will be given to the Secretary of the
Navy in a report. ,

It was mentioned in the last report that the Regents of the University
of the State of New York, in 1849, made a liberal appropriation trf" funds
for the re- organization of the meteorological system of observations, estat>-
lished in 182->, and that Dr. T. Romeyn Beck, and the Hon. Gideon Haw-
ley, to whom the enterprise was entrusted, had adopted the forms and the
instruments, prepared under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution.
Another appropriation has been made for 1850, and the system has been
carried, during the past year, into successful operation by Professor Guyot,
late of Neucbatel, in Switzerland. This gentleman, who has established
a wide reputation as a meteorological observer, by his labors in his own
country, was recommended to Dr. fleck and Mr. Hawley, by this Institu-
tion, and employed by them to superintend the fitting up of the instru-
ments in their places, to instruct the observers in the minute details of
their duty, and to determine the topographical character and elevation
above the sea, of each station.

The whole number of stations which have been estabiished in the State
of New York is thirty-eight, including those which have been furnished
with instruments by the Smithsonian Institution, and the Adirondack station
by the liberality of Archibald Mclntyre, Esq., of Albany. This number
gives one station to twelve hundred and seventy square miles, or about
one in each scjuare of thirty-five and a half miles on a side. These sta-
tions are at very different heights above the level of the sea. They were
selected in conference with Dr. Beck, Professor Guyot and myselil The
state is naturally divided into the following topographical regions, namely :

1. The Southern or Maritime region.

2. The Eastern, or region of the Highlands and Catskill mountains, with

the valleys of the Hudson and Mohawk rivers.

3. The Northern or region of the Adirondack mountains, isolated by the

deep valleys of the Mohawk, Lake Champlain, the St. liawrenoe
and Lake Ontario.

4. The Western, or region of the western plateau, with the small lakes and

sources of the rivers.
t. The region of the great lakes, Erie and Ontario.

I regret to state that no efficient steps have as yet been taken to
organize the system of Massachusetts, for which an appropriation wai
made by the legislature, at its last session. I have lately written to G»-

..yGooj^Ic

17 [1]

rernor Briggs, ureing immBdiate action, and oETering, on the part of tie
Institution, to render any assistance in our power, towards furthering so
laudable an enterprise. No answer has yet been received.*

The observations made at the different railitnry stations, under the
direction of the Medical Department of the United States Army, have
been partially re-organized, and a number of new stations, and several of
the old ones furnished with improved Smithsonian instruments. The head
of the Medical Department of the Army, Dr. Lawson, has assigned the
general direction of the system of observations to Dr. Mower of New York,
to whom we are indebted for the valuable aid which this extended set of
observations will furnish the general system. The immediate superin-
tendence of the reduction of these observations is in charge of Dr.
Wotherspoon, to whose zeal and scientific abilities, the cause of mete-
orology bids fair to he much indebted.

The most important service the Smithsonian Institution has rendered to
meteorology during the past year, has been the general introduction into
the country, of a more accurate set of instruments at a reasonable price.
The set consists of a barometer, thermometer, hydrometer, wind-vane,
anil snow and rain guage.

The barometer is made by James Green, No. 422 Broadway, New York,
under the direction of the Institution. It has a glass cistern with an ad-
justable bottom enclosed in a brnss cylinder. The barometer tube is also
enclosed in a brass cylinder, which carries the vernier. The whole is sus-
pended freely, from a ring at the top, so as to adjjist itself to the vertical
position. The bulb of the attached thermometer is enclosed in a brass
envelope communicating with the interior of the brass tube, so as to be in
the same condition with the mercury, and to indicate truly its tempera-
ture.' Each instrument made according to this pattern, is numbered aijd
accurately compared with a standard. In the comparisons made by Pro-
fessor Guyot, a standard Fortin barometer, by Ernst of Paris, was em-
ployed; also a standard English barometer, by Newman, of London,
belonging to this Institution, These instruments, for greater certftinty,
have been compared with the standard of the Cambridge Observatory,
and of Columbia College, both by Newman ; also with the standard of
the Observatory of Toronto, Upper Canada.

The results of these examinations prove the barometers made by Mr.
Green, according to the plan aflopted by the Smithsonian Institution, to
he trustworthy instruments.

The thermometers .are by the same maker, and those intended for the
State of New York, were compared with a standard by Bunten of Paris,
and with another by Troughton & Simms of London. Those found to
differ more than a given quantity, from the standards were rejected.

The instruments lor detecting the variation of the hygrometrical condi-
tion of the atmosphere, consist of two thermometers, of the same dimen-
sions, accurately graduated. The bulb of one of these is enveloped in a
covering of muslin and moistened with water, and that of the other is
naked.

The rain and snow gauges, and also the wind vanes, are made under the
direction of the Institution, "by Messrs. Pike & Son, 166 Broadway, New
Vork. The rain gauge is an inverted cone of sheet zinc, of which the area

[1] 18

•f the base is exactly one hundred square inches* This cone or fnnnd
terminates in a tube which carries the water into a receiving vessel. Th«
water which has faJlen is measured by pouiting it from the gauge into a
cylinder, ao graduated as ta indicate hundretns ol inches. A smailer
cylinder is also provided, which gives thousanth» of kiched^ and may
serve, in cases of accident, as a substitute for the larges cylaidcr. Th«
rain gauge is placed in a cask sunk in the earth, with its meuth near
the level of the ground.

The soow gai^e is » cylinder oTzkic of the same diameter as the msuth
of the rain gauge. The measurement ia made by pressing it» mouth
downwards to tnc bottom of the snow, where it has fallen on a level
surface, then carefully inverting it, retaining, the snow, by passing under
it a thin plate of metal. The snow is afterwards melted, and the water
produced 19. measured m one of the graduated glass cylinders of the raia
gauge.

The wind vane is a thin sheet of metal, (it might be of wood,) about
three feet long, carefully balanced by a ball of lead, and attached on the
top of « lone wooden rod, which descends along the wall of the building;
to the ^1 of the window of the observer. It terminates in the centre of
a fixed dial plate, and indicates in its movements the direction of the wind
by a pointer attached to the rod.

The observer is by this arrangement enabled to determine tlie coursa-
of the wind, by looking down on the dial plate, through the glass of th«-
window, without exposmg himself to the storm.

Besides the full sets of mstruments furnished by the State of New Yorlr„
from the appropriation of the Regents of the University^ the Smithsonian
Institution has furnished a number of sets, to important stations, and in
order that they might be more wddy disseminated, we hav? directed Mr.
(Ireen to dispose of sets, to individuals, at a reduced price^on condition
that they will ^ve us copies of the results of their Oteervations; the re-
mainder of the cost being paid by this Institution,. A number of persons
have availed themselves of this privilege.

To accompany the instruments, iinii for the use of those who taie part
1.1 the Smithsonian system of meteorological observations, a series of mV-
iiute directions, prepared by Professor Guyot, hna been printed by tb*
Institution. It occupies forty octavo pages, with wood-cut representa-
tions of the instruments, and is accompanied by two lithographic engra-
vings, to illystrate the different forms of douds, and to facditate their
notations in the journals, in accordance with the nomenchtture adopted bj
meteorologists. A set of tables has also been fumi^ed for correcting th»
barometrical observations, on account of variation of temperature. A.
set of hygrometrical tables, to be used with the wet and dry bulb ther-
mometers, nnd a set, for the calculation of heights by the barometer, will
be prepared.

We may also mention, in connection with this subject, that a series of
preliminary experiments has been made, in the laboratory bf this Institu-
tion, for the purpose of constructing from direct observation, a scale of
boiling temperatures, corresponding to different degrees of rarefaction of
the air. With a thermometer, each degree of which occupies one inch in
length of the scale, the variations of the boiling point corresponding to a
■light change in altitude, are found to be more perceptible than those In
the lenirth of the barometiiral column. .-. ,

A series of experiments hqs also been made, for testing the perform-
ance of the Aneroid barometer under extremes of atmospheric pressure.
The instrument as usually constructed, has not been found, from these
experiments, very reliable, though it may be improved, and thus serve as an
indicator of minute atmosphenc changes. I think, however, it will not
answer for the determination of cltanges of atmospheric pressure, of con-
ctderable magnitude.

For the better comprehension of the relative position of the several
places of observation, now embraced, in our system of meteorology, an
outline map of North Ameriea has been constructed, by Prof. Foreman.
This map is intended also to be used for presenting the successive phases
of the sky over the whole country, at different points of time, as far as
reported to us, and we have been waiting for its completion, to commence
A series of investigations, with the matenalf now on hand, relative to the
progress of storms.

A valuable collection of returns relative to die Aurora, has been re-
ceived in accordance with the special instructioas which we have issued
for the observation of this interesting phenomenon. These are to be
placed in the hands of Captain Lefroy, of the Toronto observatory, and
incorporated with observations of a similar kind, which he has collected
in the British posseeiions of North America. An account in full of the
whole series will be presented by Captain Lefroy, to be published in the
Smithsonian Contributions.

The Aneteorological correspondence is under the charge of Professor
Foreman. This is found not only to involve coDsiderable labor in the
way of Geceiving thie regular returns and sending the nequired blanks and
directions, but also in relation to the discussion of questions on almost
every branch of sieience propounded to us by the meteorological obser-
vers, which we th^k it our duty in «11 cases, to treat with respect, and to
answer to the best of our ^owledge,

KESCABCHES, &«.

Explorations. — The programme of organization eentemplates the insti-
tution of researches in Natural History, Geology, fcc., and, though the
state of the funds woul4 permit of little being don^ in this line, yet we
liave made a be^nning. Besides the assistance rendered to the explora-
tion of the botany of New Mexico, by the purchase of sets of plants from
Mr. Wright and Mr. Fendler, as mentioned in my last report, a small sum
vas appropriaited, to defray the «ost of transportation of tne articles which
night be collected by Mr. Thaddeus Culbertson, in the region of the
Upper Missouri. This gentlettan, a graduate of the institutions at Prince-
ton, had purposed to visit the remote reeitMis above mendoned, for the
benelk of his health, ^nd was provide! by Professor Baird, with mitmte
directions as to the preservation of specimens and the objects which should
particularly engage bis attentjon. His journey was undertaken, and
executed, under particularly favorable circumstances for exploration. He
was accompanied by his brother, Mr. Alexander Culbertson, for many
je«F8 eonneeted with the American Fur Company, who was iamiliar witk
the whole country, and had himself sent valuable specimens of fossil
nammalians to the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences.

Ur. Culbertson first vtuted aa interesting locality called the Mauvaim

[1] 20

Terres or Bad Lands, where his brother had previously found the remains
of the fossils sent to the Academv. He afterwards ascended the Missourr,
to a point several hundred miles above Fort Union. He returned in
August last in renewed health to gladden the hearts of his parents
and friends, with the prospect of long life and usefulness, but though
he had withstood the privations and exposures of the wilderness, he
sank under an attack of a prevalent disease and died after a few
weeks illness.

" He left a journal of all the important events of his tour, which is
thought of sufficient importance to be appended to this report.

For a particular account of the interesting specimens which he procured,
many of which are new and undescribed, I must refer fo the appended
report of Professor 13aird. A part of the specimens, those of the fossri
remains, have been referred to Dr. Leid^, of Philadelphia, who will pre-
sent the result of his investigations relative to them, for publication in the
third volume of the Smithsonian Contributions.

A small appropriation has also been made to defray in part the expense
of exploration, relative to the erosions of the surface of the earth, espe-
cially by rivers, and also for investigations relative to terraces and ancient
sea beaches, under the direction of President Hitchcock. An abstract of
ihese investigations, as far as they have been made, has been received by
the Institution, and a full account of the whole, it is expected, will soon
be ready for publication.

Also, an exploration for the increase of the Smithsonian collection,
particularly in fishes and reptiles, of which our knowledge is most imper-
fect, was undertaken by Professor Baird, accompanied by a number of
young gentlemen, his former pupils. The result of this expedition which
cost the Institution little more than the price of materials and transpor-
tation, was a large number of specimens, including numerous species before
unknown to science.

Experiments, — A series of experiments has been made, during the
]>ast year, under the direction of Professor Jewett, to test the value of
a new plan of stereotyping. If the result of these experiments he favo-
rable, it is proposed to purchase the right to use the invention, for the
purposes of the Institution. Should the "invention be found fo possess the
character to which it appears entitled, it will not only be of much impor-
tance to the Institution, but to the world ; and we shall have done good
service to the cause of knowledge, by ffiving it our countenance and
assistance. Professor Jewett has found it especially applicable to the
accomplishment of his system of stereotyping catalogues of libraries, by
separate titles, and, in this application, it willcertainly be of great value,
Kven should it fail in other respects to realize the sanguine expectations
of its inventor.

The result of the experiments will he submitted to a commission of
persons properly qualified to judge of its merits, and if their report be
favorable, a small sum will be allowed for the use of it.

Besides the experiments mentioned under the head of meteorology,
made by Mr. Espy, on the cold produced by the rarefaction of air, Br,
Hare, of Philadelphia, is employing articles of apparatus belonging to the
Institution, in a scries of researches on the phenomena exhibited in the
air, and in a vacuum by rubbing silicious minerals against each other. The
results of these experiments, ^vith the drawings of tne apparatus employed,

21 [1]

irill be presented to the Institution in the form of a memoir for the Smith-
aonian Contributions to Knowledge.

, COUPUTATION9.

Occuliations for 1851. — For the purpose of facilitating the accurate
, determination of geographical points in the United States, a list of oceul-
tations and the co-ordinates of reductions for the years 1848, 1849, anil
18o0, was prepared and published at the expense of the Smithsonian In-
stitution. Congress has since ordered the publication of an American
Nautical Almanac, and as lists of occultations will form a part of this
ephemeris, Mr. Preston, late Secretary of the Navy, directed that the
expense of computing these tables for 1850, should be defrayed from the
appropriation for the almanac, provideil the printing and distribution were
at the expense of the Smithsonian Institution. The same course has been
authorised by Mr. Graham, the present Secretary of the Navy.

Copies of these tables computed by John Downes, of Philadelphia, hare
been sent to all persons known to the Institution, who would probably
make use of them in the way of improving our knowledge of the ^og-
raphy of this country. They have oeen furnished particularly to officers
of the United States Army, and other persons engaged in exploring our
new possessions and determining their boundaries. All persons, to whom
thesetables were presented, have been requested to send the result of their
observations, made in connection with the use of them, to this Institution,
or to publish them in some accessible journal.

Ephemeris of JVeplune. — It was stated, in the last report, that the orbit
of the planet Neptune, established by the researches of Mr. Walker, anil
comprised in his memoir publisheii by the Institution, gives the data for
calculating an ephemeris or tables of the daily position of this planet,
rivaling in precision the tables for any of the older planets. Sets of
these tables were computed and published for 1848 and 1849, at the expense
of the Smithsonian Institution, but those for 1850 and 1851, have been
computed under the direction of Lieutenant^avis, superintendent of the
Nautical Almanac, and at the expense of the appropriation under his
chaise, while the expense of printing the tab'ea has been borne by this
Institution.

These tables are corrected for the perturbing influence of the planets
Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, by deductions from mathematical investiga-
tions of Professor Peirce, of Harvard University, They have been used
in following the motion of Neptune, by all the principal astronomers of
the world, and have every where received the highest commendation, re-
flecting honor on the Institution and on the science of the country.

The act of Congress authorizing the establishment ot the Smithsonian
Institution, contemplates the formation of a Museum of Natural History.
It would not, however, be in accordance with the spirit of the organization,
to expend the income in the reproduction of collections of objects which
are to he found in every museum of the country. Natural History can he
much more effectually promoted, by special collections ot new objects, by
appropriations for original explorations and researches, and above all, by

C_iOi>^K

[1]

i in tlie preparation of the necessary drawings, and by presenting

to the world, in a proper form, the labon of naturalists. In confomiitj'
with these views, it has been resolved to confine the collections, principally,
to objects of a special character, or to such as may lead to the discovery of
new truths, or which may serve to verify or disprove existing or proposed
scienti6c generalizations. A number of special collections, important in
this point of view, are mentioned by Professor Agasnz, in the appendix ,
to my last report, and, for a more enlai^ed statement relating to the same
subject, I would refer attention to the accompanying report by Professor
Baird, to whom the charge of the collections of Natural History has
been confided.

A considerable number of specimens in mineralogy, geology and botany,
had been received, previous to Professor Baird's connection with the
Institution, and, since he has entered upon his duty, a large addition has
been made to the stock, by the deposit of his own cabinet, and by dona-
tions from various sources.

The collection is principally rich in undescribed species of fishes and

reptiles, and especial care will be taken, by Professor Baird, to enhance
its value, by procuring, in all cases, as lar as practicable, such speci-
mens as help to solve questions of scientific interest. The collection
has been arranged in one of the rooms of the basement story, so as to be
accessible to the student in this branch of stnence, and has already done
service in this way, by furnishing the facts given in one of the memoirs of
the Smithsonian Contributions. Though letters are constantly received
requesting the Institution to purcliase collections of plants, minerals and
other objects of natural history, yet we have declined, in all cases, to avail
ourselves of opportunities of this kind to increase the cabinet. Experi-
ence has, thus far, shown that specimens of all kinds will accumulate, from
donations and exchange, as rapidly as they can be accommodated with room,
and properly arranged.

I have given, in my last report, the reasons why it is not thought advi-
sable on the part of the Institution, to accept the gift proffered by Con-
gress, of the great Museum «f the Exploring Expedition, and I have no
reason to change my opinion on that point.

For a detailed account of the specimens forming the Smithsonian colleo i
tion, I refer to Professor Baird's report, herewith submitted.

AHERICAir ANTIQUITIES. |

During the past year, we hare received information of the locality of
a number of mounds, and other remains of ancient art, in different parts of
the United States. A gentleman is now engaged in the examination of
the mounds of Western Virginia, with the intention of presenting the
results of his labors, for publication in the Smithsonian Contributions to
Knowledge.

The survey of the mineral land in the vicinity of Lake Superior, has
disclosed the site of an ancient copper mine, whence, in all probability, the

Mr. E. Q. Squier, during his sojourn in Central America, as Charge d*
Affaires of the United States, made some interesting explorations relative
to the antiquities of that country, and has sent to this Institution five
large stone idols and several smaller objects, -as the beginiung of an Etb-
, nologieal Museum. For the cost of shipment and transporffition of the
three larger of those iilols by way of Cape Horn, the Institution is indebted
fes the liwrality of B. Blanco, t^., of New York.

For some remarks relative to the importance of forming an Ethnologi-
cal museum, I beg to refer to a paper by Mr. Squier, given in the appeomx
to this report.

APTABATDS ASS IBSTHUHE^TS OF KESEAKCB.

It is a part of the plan of the Institution, to appropriate a small portion
of the funds, to the purchase of ;sets of instruments of physical research,
to be used by the ofHcers of the Institution, and under certain restrictions,
by other persons. In accordance with this purpose, I was requested, by
the Board of Regents, to procure an astronomical clock, with the electro
magnetic registering apparatus, to be lent to Lieutenant Gilits during tb«
continuance of his astronomical bibors in Chili. The clock has been im-
ported from Germany, and is now in the hands of the instrument maker, to
receive the registenng attachments. The whole will be sent to Chili, aa
«oon as the apparatus is completed. I regret that the difficulty of pro-
curing the services of suit^Ie workmen has delayed, so long, the comple-
tion of these instruments.

A comaunication from Lieutenant Gillis, informs us that the Chilian
Government has resolved to establish a permanent national observatory
at Santiago, and that it will purchase the instruments above mentioned.
The Institution will therefore again, as in the case mentioned in a former
report, of the purchase of a telescope, for the same expedition, be tits
means of promoting science, without an expenditure of its income.

The apparatus. for determining the elements of terrestrial magnetism,
mentioned in my last report, as naving been lent to Colonel Emory, has
been delivered to Colonel Graham, to be used on the Mexican boundary
survey. To replace these, the Institution has received permission to
order another set, from London, at the expense of the government, and
thus, by an addition to the number of instruments of thb Icind, the means
of promoting the science of terrestrial magnetism, in this country, will b«
increased.

The purchase of standard meteorological apparatus, and also the instHH
nents which have been distributed to different important stations, through^
out the country, is a part of the same plan.

During the past year a considerable portion of the apparatus constitu-
ting the liberal donation oF Dr. Hare, of Philadelphia, nas been repaired
ana fitted up; and it is hoped, during the present season, to complete the
repairs of the remainder, and to place the whole in a proper position for
eidubition and use.

It has been stated, that the programme of oi^anization is intended t*

[1] 24

hsrmonize the several requisitions of Congress, and the resolutions of the
Board of Regents, with a system of active operations, the influence of
which shall be as widely extended as practicable. Though almost every
one will admit the value of libraries, and the importance of collecting in
this country as great a variety of books as possible, yet it may well be
doubted whether the accumulation of a large number of books, whicli are
to be found in almost every library of the country, is, in the present state
of the funds, to be expected or aimed at. It is believed that a portion
of the income devoted to the library, may be more efficiently expended in
the promotion of the same ends by other means, and hence, it was resolved
to make special collections of books; particularly to procure such as are
not in the country, and also, in order to render more available those which
are now in our libraries, to prepare, as far as practicable, a general cata-
logue of all the books they contain.

In accordance with these views. Professor Jewett has devised a plan of
facilitating the publication of catalogues of libraries, which bids fair to be
of much importance to the literature of the countr}-. This plan has been
submitted for examination to a ccmraissicn of gentlemen m^cU accjuoinlcd
with the subject, and has received from thcui a very favorable report
recommending its adoption. [See Jippendix.'^

The propositions submitteif to the commission for examination, were
as follows:

1. A plan for stereotyping catalogues of libraries by separate movable

titles; and

2. A set of general rules, to be recommended for adoption, by the different

libraries of the United States, in the preparation of their catalogues.

For a foil account of Professor Jewett's plan, and of the advantages
anticipated from it, I must refer to his report herewith submitted. I may
however, briefly allude to the leading principle of the plan, which is to
stereotype the titles of books on separate movable blocks. These blocks
once prepared, and kept in a central depository, may be used for the print-
ing of new e<lition5 of the catalogues for which they were originally made,
allowing the interposition of additional titles in the proper order; as well
a? for the p.-intlng of all other catalogues containinij the same titles.
The collection of the stereotype blocks of the titles of the several libra-
ries, will thus form the stereotyped titles of a general catalogue of all
the libraries. They will lend themselves to the construction of biblio-
graphies of particular branches of knowledge, and will admit of being
arranged alphabetically, chronologically, or m classes, in accordance with
any required system.

These blocks are not to be made in advance of a demand for their use.
They are to be gradually accumulated, by an arrangement, which, impo-
sing only a temporary anil light burden upon the funds of this Institution,
will effect the great public object desired, at the same time that it dimin-
i.shes to but a fraction of the present cost, the expenses of publishing
catalogues, and secures the construction of thera upon a uniform and ap-
proved system.

The details of a plan so comprehensive, may well be supposed difficult
of adjustment, and not capable of being clearly described within the limits
of a few paragraphs. These have, however, been fully considered by a
competent trihunal, and the plan has received commendation and promues
of co-operation, from some of the principal institutions of the country.

During the last year, the library has continued to increase by donation,
by receipts under the copy-right law, by exchanges for the publications
of the Institution, and by purchase. It now numbers, in all, nearly ten
thousand separate articles, and bids fair, from the same sources, to become
a very valuable collection.

Though one half of the annual interest is to I,e expended on the library
and the inuseiira, the portion of the income, which can be devoted to the
former will, in ray opinion, never be sufficient without extraneous aid, to
collect and support a miscellaneous library of the first class. Indeed, all
the income would scarcely suffice for this purpose. Still, by means of
exchanges, donations and purchases, a library of great value may be col-
lected and sustained, and this, with the constantly increasing library of
Congress, the libraries of the Departments, and that of Georgetown Col-
lege, will furnish a collection of books, not unworthy of the capital of
this nation.

From the report of Professor Jewett, it will be seen that a Gallery of
Art has been commenced, and that it is already in posession of a valuable
collection of engravings.

In this connection, I may mention that at the last annual meeting of
the board, a letter was presented from the Hon. Abbott Lawrence, inform-
ing the Regents that a portrait of Smithson had been offered through him
for sale to the Institution. This portrait, which was in the possession of
the widow of John Fitall, a servant of Smithson, mentioned in his will,
was purchased for thirty guineas, and is now in the Gallery of Art. It
represents the founder of this Institution, in the costume of a student of
Oxford, ami was probably painted when he was not more than twenty

{■ears of age. There is, also in possession of the Institution, a medal-
ion of Smithson, in copper, taken in after hfe. It is from this, that the
head on the title page of the Smithsonian publications has been copied.

LECTURES.

During the past session of Congress, a series of popular lectures has
been given to the citizens of this place and strangers, in the lecture room
of the Smithsonian building. These lectures were delivered by gentle-
men distinguished for their standing, and for their attainments in litera*
ture and science, who were invited for this purpose. The interest in these
lectures has been sustained to a wonderful degree. They have been
attended from the first by large audiences, and the results thus far, indi-
cate that considerable good may be derived from the dilfusion of knowledge
in this way, in a central position like Washington, where persons from
every part of the Union are found. Although the lectures appear to
the public one of the most prominent objects of the Institution, and
although they are attended with much trouble and considerable expense,
they really form the least important feature of the plan adopted. So
long however, as there is a prospect of doing good by means of them,
it is due to the city in which the Institution is located, that they should
be continued.

Much complaint has been made on account of the size of the lecture
room. It is certainly too small to accommodate all who have wished to
attend. We have, however, endeavored, in several instances, to obviate
this difficulty, by procuring a repetition of the lectures; but this plan if -

[1] S6

attended with additional expense, and cannot, in all caseg, be adopted.
Should Ui^e audiences continue, it mav be well to provide a lai^r
lecture room in the main building, and by removing the seats from thr
present lecture room, convert it into a museum of apparatus. This change,
if thought advisable, can be made at very little, if any, additional ex-
pense, since the present wood work of the interior of the main building,
IS to give place to a fire proof structure, which will admit of being
arranged as a lecture room. Indeed, the original plan contemplated a
room of this kind in the main building, but the arrangement of it wa«
auch as to seat scarcely more than the room at present useJ.

Many enquiries are made as to the publication of these lectures. In
■ome cases, reports of them have been given in the newspapers, and it will
be advisable to extend this practice to all : but the publication, in a sepa-
rate form, of lectures, which in many cases, are not written out, and not
intended by their authors, as additions to knowledge, would be attended
\ with much expense, and little useful eSect. The institution, in several
instances, is doing better service, by publishing, in full, the original re-
•earches, on which the lectures are based. The papers of Professor
Agassiz, of Professor Harvey, and one of Lieutenant Davis, are of thii
character, and will be given to the world, through the Smithsonian Con-
tributions.

The following it a list of the Titles of Lectures given hefort the InttitutioK

during the last session of CoTigress, with the JVames of the

distinguished Gentlemen by whom they were delivered:

A single lecture on Holland ; by the Rev. Dr. George W. Bethune, of
Brooklyn, New York.

A course of lectures on the relations of Time and Space — the vastnesg
of the Visible Creation — and the Primordial Arrangement of Ex-
isting Systems ; by Professor Stephen Alexander, of Princeton,
New Jersey.

A course of lectures on Science applied to Agriculture; by Professor J. F.

W. Johnston, of the University of Durham, England.
Two lectures, one on the tendencies of Modern Science, and the other on

the Spirit of the Ag« ; by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Alonzo Potter, of

Pennsylvania.

One lecture on the Ability of the Individual to Promote Knowledge; by

the Rev. John Hall, of Trenton, New Jersey.
A course of lectures on the Unity of the plan of the Animal Creation;

by Professor Louis Agassiz, of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
A course of lectures on the Tides of the Ocean and their Geological Ro-

lations; by Lieutenant Charles Henry Davis, of the United States

Navy.
A course of lectures on Marine AlgK or Sea Weeds, and also on tha

Morphology of the Vegetable Kingdom; by Professor William H.

Harvey, of the University of Dublin, Ireland.

Two lectures, one on the Origin and Growth of the Union during the

37 [1]

Colonial Period, and the other on some points of the Histoir and
Peculiarities of the English Language; by Professor Henry Reed,
of the University of Pennsylvania.

A. course of lectures on the Chemical Operations of Nature; by Profes-
sor Lewis C. Beck, of Rutgers College, New Jersey.

The first part of a general course, giving an exposition of the Dynamical
Phenomena of Geology; by Professor Henry D. Risers, of Boston.

Whatever may have been the eflfect of these lectures in the way
of Diffusing Knowledge, it is evident from the character of the men
by whom they were delivered, that they presented truths intended
to elevate and improve the morals and intellectual condition of th«
hearers.

All of which is respectfully submitted,

JOSEPH HENRY, Secretary

Of the Smithsonian Institution.

REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY

IN CHARGE OP THE LIBRABY OF THE SMITIISONIAS INSTITUTIOS,

To the Secretary nf the Smithsonian Institution :

Sir: — With the close of the year, it again becomes my duty to
present to you ray annual report upon the affairs of the Library.

The rate of increase is stiJI slow. We cannot expect it to be rapid,
until after the appropriation of the full income of the Institution to its
permanent objects.

The following table exhibits the number of books and other articles
added to the Library since my last report, with the sources from which
they have been received.

These numbers are, it is true, small in comparison with the demands of
the community, and with our own hopes and prospects. But it must be
borne in mind that the Institution is as yet in but partial operation; that
the funds are slill, in a great degree, devoted to the building; and that
the systematic collection of a Library has hardly been commenced.

The books which have been bought, are for the most part such as were
of immediate necessity. The lists which accompany this report, in con-
nection with those previously transmitted, will show the composition of
the Library. Though not complete in any department, this collection
possesses from the outset, a decided and peculiar character. The list of
books received by donation and exchange contains the titles of the latest
publications of many of the learned societies of Europe, with complett

39 [1]

sets of some of them. It will be an object of the first care, to complete
this department. The use which has already been made of those which
we possess, and the frequent calls for others, fully demonstrate that the
plan of collecting here entire series of the transactions of all foreign
academies, and of the ablest scientific journals of every nation, was
wisely formed to meet a real and wide-felt want.

The collection of engravings and works upon the history of art, has
attracted much interest ; not from undiscri minuting idlers, but from men
of taste, and particularly from artists. This collection, thongh not the
largest in the country, is believed to be the choicest. It was made by an
American gentleman, distinguished as a scholar no less than as a states-
man, with the special design of illustrating the progress and resources of
the art of engraving in all its branches, from its early masters to the
present time. It was the work of many years to gather specimens, so
rare and beautiful. It required an educated eye, a cultivated taste, an
earnest study of the history of art, much diligent search, and the aid of
many friends and correspondents, to bring together so many of the most
valuable prints which have ever been executed. The acquisition of thi.s
collection has saved to the Institution all expenditure, either of time or
money, for skill and labor thus bestowed. The saving of m^ey cannot
but seem important to any one who weighs our means against our wants,
and the gain in time gives a longer period of public benefits.

This collection contains some of the best works of nearly every en-
graver of much celebrity. There is one portfolio of the works of Albert
Uurer, containing twenty engravings on copper and two on iron, by his
own hand, — and among them, most of his best and rarest works; about
sixty fine copies on copper, including the famous seventeen by Marc
Antonio; thirteen different portraits of Purer, and a large number of
wood cuts engraved by him or under his inspection. Another portfolio
contains a large collection of the etchings of Rembrandt, including some
of his most beautiful pieces, particularly the "Christ Healing the Sick, "
an early and fine impression. There is a portfolio of two hundred en-
gravings and etchings, by Claude Lorraine, Hollar, and Bega ; a portfolio
of superb portraits by Nanteuil, Wille, Edelink, and others, among them,
a first impression of the "Louis XIV in armor," by Nanteuil; a port-
folio of prints from the old Italian masters, comprising many that are
extremely rare; and another from the old German masters, containing
about one hundred prints, many of them scarce and of great beauty.
There are besides, five portfolios of sheet engravings, including veiy
choice prints. Among them are thirty-one which are valued by Longhi,
at fifteen hundred dollars.

Among the galleries and published collections, are the "Mus-e Royal,"
in two volumes folio, proofe before the letter, a superb copy : Denon's
" Monumens des Arts du Dessin, " in four volumes lb I io, of which only
two hundred and fifty copies were published; Baillie's Works, one hundred
plates, folio ; Tborwaidsen's Works, four volumes, folio ; Hogarth's
Works, folio, and the German edition in quarto ; The Boydell Gallery,
two volumes, folio; Boydell's "Siiakspeare Gallery," a remarkably good
copy, containing many proofs before the letter, numerous etchings and
several progressive plates; Claude's "Liber Veritatis," an original copy,
three volumes, folio ; The Houghton Gallery, two volumes, folio; Cham-
berlain's Drawings in the Royal Collection, one volume, folio.; Rem-

[1] 30

bnndt's Drawings, one volume, quarto; Da Vinci's Drawings, one toI-
nme, quarto; " Galerie de Florence;" Angergtein Galley; Anraent
Sculpture, by the Dilettanti Society; Perrault's "Hommes Illustres;"
Sadeler's Hermits; " Theuerdank, " a fine copy of the very rare
edition of 1519 ; Meyrick's Armour ; Hope's Ajicient Costumes, and
more than Ttne hundred volumes besides, mostly in foHo or quarto, either
composed entirely of valuable eneravings, or in which the text is pub-
lished for the sake of the illustrations of fine or deooj'attve art.

The collection of critical and historical works, in the various depart-
ments of the fine arts, comprises about three hundred volumes of the beat
works in the English, French, German and Italian languages, including
whatever is most needed by the student of art in all itB branches.

Engraving seems to be the only branch of the fine arts, which we can,
for the present, cultivate. One good picture or statue would cost mor«
than a large collection of prints. The formation of a gallery of the best
paintings, is, in thia country, altnost hopeless. Engravings furnish lu
with translations, authentic and masterly, of the best creations of genius
in painting and sculpture, the originals of which are utterly beyond our
reach. Engraving, too, ie more than a mere imitative art, The mat-
ter's geni^ shines forth from some of the free and graceful etchings of
Rembrandt almost as vividly as from his canvas.

It can hardly be doubted, that, in no way, could this Institution, for
the present, do so much for every department of the fine arts, without
injury to other objects of its care, as by procuring a collection of engra-
▼ings, so full and so well chosen as that which now adorns its Library.

Another department of the Library which has received special atten-
tion, is that of bibliographical works. I need not here repeat what I
have already said upon the importance of these bonks. A librarian can
no more do without them, thnn a mechanic can work without tools, or a
eheroist perform experiments without apparatus. Our collection of them
is already very respectable ; nor have the books been without great uM
•ince they were placed upon our shelves. The announcement, early madr,
that we proposed to form such a collection, not solely for our own use,
but also for the benefit of other Libraries, has been read and noted. Ap-
plications fW)m all parts of the country are now made for information and
a«sistance, which these books enable us to give.

The books which we have received under the copyright section of our
•harter, form a popular portion of the Library. Among them are worka
ot great value and importance. The Law books, alone, are worth roor«
than five hundred dollars. The Medical books are of oonuderable value.
Many interesting works of local history, thus find their way to our shelves,
which we should otherwise not be likely to be acquainted with, Tb«
works of iiction, poems, critical essays, and even the school books, have,
in this Library, a worth beyond their intrinsic or exchangeable value, u
ipecimens to be handed down to posterity of the literary characteristics of
this generation. The list of periodical publications is intended to includ*
the best journals of literature, science and art, in all languages.

It is perhaps, too soon to begin to speak of the use made of the Library,
It is not ten months, since the nooks, few as they are, were flrat arrange^
^a the western wing of the Smithsonian building ; and the adjoining " cod-

cting range, " fitted up for a reading room. Yet this time has bwa

ig enough to show the great interest which attaches to auch an ettftb-

31 , [ 1 ]

Ushment, and to give an eftmest of its future uwfiitnefs. A reoonl of
Tifiitora, kept in the reading room, shows an arerage of sixteen thousand
a year. A large proportion of these are, it is true, attracted merely bj
curiosity. Yet many are led by a love of study. However much w«
must regret that we have not yet the means of meeting the wants of
students, it is encouraging to see the evidence, that all which we can do
will be appreciated and rendered useful.

The experience of the last year would seem to decide the question of
the appropriateness of tliis location for such an Institution. An establish-
ment like this must have a fixed position somewhere. Yet its benefiti
ire for all ; not for one city nor one section of country, nor one nation
even, but for "mankind ". It is not to be denied, that a large city, like
New York, or Philadelphia, or Boston, ofTers many advantages for the
operations of such an Institution, not possessed by this city. It is, never-
theless, almost beyond question, that the comparison of advantages is in
favor of this very place. There is no ^ot which presents so many
attractions far the class of men most immediately interested in its con-
cerns ; no city, which they more gladly visit. The high oflicers of statc^
and the foreign diplomatic corps reside here. Here are held the sessions
of Congress. Here are the executive departments of the ODvemment,
the Patent OfEce, the Office of the Coast Survey and the Observatory,
Every man, throughout the whole extent of the land, feels that hei«
he has a friend, — a representali ^e, — through whom he may commu-
nicate with such an establishment, when he carmot visit it in person.
The facilities for the kind of intercourse, whicfa we need with other
countries, are, by the help of the State Department and of Foreign
Ministers, greater than at any other point. More than all, the estab-
lishment here possesses a character of nationality, which would not
elsewhere attach to its movements,tn the eyes of our own people and
of foreigners. This it was, undoubtedly, which led its founder to direct
that the Institution should be established in Wa^ington. Besides nil
this, it is enabled to multiply its influence and usefulness, by acting
in concert with the departments of the National Government.

The inhabitants of a city where such an institution is established must,,
of necessity, share more lai^ely in its benefits than others more remote. It
is gratifying to know that this advantage could fell nowhere more appro-
priately, more benignly, or less invidiously, than upon this city. Seltcled
and planned as for the seat of government of a mighty empire — a spot
where nature laid her hand most gracefully — Washington has not hitherto
been able, like her sister cities, to gather from commerce, wealth for
endowments of learning. From the nature of our political institutions^
ihe has been deprived, too, of that fostering munificence, which in
Europe has reared splendid capitals from the sandy plain, or sunken
morass, and supplied them not only with all that can meet the con-
venience and gratify the taste of their inhabitants, but also with Uni>
versities, Scientific Societies, and Libraries, for the advancement of civ-
ilization, refinement, and human happiness.

The central pcsititm and national character of the institution, hare nig-
gcsted many ways of rendering the Smithsonian Library useful to the lite-
rary public other than in the collection of books. These are not of courto
supposed to dispense with the importance of collections, nor do thou
«aich we have thus far adopted naaterially Himiniah our meani of accu*

t 1] 32

luulation. They are additional objects of attention and they neither ex-
clude nor interfere with the principal object. During the first yeare of the
Library, while the money is wanting for extensive purchases, these plans
receive a larger relative snare of attention than may permanently be given
to them ; though it is hoped that they will actually continue to uicreuse in
extent as in importance.

One of these means of usefulness, was the gathering of statistical and his-
torical notices of public libraries in the United States. This occupied a
portion of my time during the year 1849. The results of my labors were
presented in the appendix to my last report, which has not yet been print-
ed. In establishing a central bibliographical bureau, it was of primary im-
portance to survey the field in order to learn the number, condition, and
prospects of existmg libraries, and to establish with them, relations indis-
pensable to success in any general system of operations.

GENEBAL CATALOGDE.

The formation of the General Catalogue of American Libraries has been
another prominent object of my attention. As most of our public libraries
possess printed catalogues, it is possible to form one central catalogue, by
combining the titles of these, in one alphabetical arrangement. The value
of such a work would be, in a measure, limited to this spot. The
only way in which it could be extended further, would be by correspon-
dence. Even thus limited, the scheme is very promising. It is manifest,
however, that its benefits would be vastly increased, if copies of the cata-
logue could be multiplied. The catalogues of the different libraries were,
however, constructed on plans so various, and in most cases, so t'atilty, that
it was unadvisable to print any catalojTue formed from them.

In order to realize from a general catalogue all of the vast advantages
which it seems to promise, it is necessary that the catalogues of all the
libraries of which it is composed, should be prepared with uniformity and
accuracy ; and in order to secure the co-operation necessary to the con-
struction of catalogues in this manner, some plan must be devised, which
would not increase, but if possible, diminish the present cost to each library
of making and printing its catalogue.

I had the honor, sometime since, to present, through yourself to
the Board of Regents, the outline of a plan which promises to secure these
ends and others of not less importance. This plan was referred to a com-
mission of librarians and literary men of the highest standing, for their
examination.

The favorable report of this commission, after the laborious and consci-
entious attention which they gave the matter, leads me to hope, that th«
project will be carried immediately and vigorously into execution.

It would not be possible for me, within the customary limits of a report
like this to present all the details of a scheme so extensive; yet it is
proper that I should dwell somewhat at length upon the exigencies in
which it originated; its principal features'; its practicability,; and the
benefits which it promises to our public libraries and to the cause of
knowledge.

We can but glance at the nature and extent of the difficulties, which
have hitherto been encountered, in attempting to furnish suitable printed
catalogues of growing libraries, and which have led, or^are leading, to

S3 [1]

a conuDon ftbandoniDent of the hope of affording guides so important to
the literary accumulations of the larger libraries of Europe.

It is, of course, entirely practicable to publish a complete and
satisfactory catalogue of a library which is stationary. But most public
libraries are constantly and rapidly increasing. Tbis circumstance, so

ratifying on every other account, is the cause of the difficulties to which
have alluded.

While the catalogue of such a collection is passing through the press,
new books are received, the titles of which, it is impossible, in the ordinary
manner of printing, to incorporate with the body of the work. Recourse
must then be bad to a supplement. In no other way, can the acquisitions
of the library be made known to the public. If, as in the library of Con-
gress, the number of supplements be increased to nine, the student may be
obliged to grope his weary way through ten catalogues, instead of one, in
order to ascertain whether any book which he seeks is in the library. He
cannot be certain, even then, that the book is not in the collection, for it
may have been received since the last appendix was printed. Supple-
ments soon become intolerable. The whole catalogue must then be re-
arranged and re-printed. The expense of this process may be borne, so
Jong as the library is small ; but it soon becomes burdensome, and ere long
insupportable, even to national establishments.

There is but one course left — not to print at all. To this no scholar con-
sents, except from necessity.

But to this alternative, grievous as it is, nearly all the large libraries of
Europe have been reluctantly driven. More than a century has passed
since the printing of the catalogue of the Royal Library at Paris was com-
menced. It is not yet finished. No one feels in it the interest which he
would, if he could nope to have it kept up complete, if once it were
brought up to a given date.

Dr. Pertz, Chief Librarian of the Royal Library of Berlin, declares that
to print the catalogue of a large library, which is constantly increasing, is
to throw away money. His opinion is founded upon the supposed impos-
sibility of keeping up the catalogue, so as continually to represent the actual
possessions of the library. .

The first volume of the new catalogue of printed books in the British
Museum was published in 1840. It is a folio of four hundred and fifly-
seven pages, and contains all the titles, under the letter A, of books in the
library at the end of the year 1838. Mr. Panizzi, from the first, strongly
opposed the printing of any part of the catalogue, before the whole, up to
the prescribed limit (1338,) should be completed in manuscript. Time has
shown the justness of hts views. The commissioners lately appointed by
the Queen to inquire into the constitution and management of the Museum,
have, in their report, expressed an opinion decided^ against the printing
of the catalogue at all, and principally on the ground that it must ever
remain imperfect.

. One of the witnesses, (the Right Honorable J. W. Croter,) examined
before the commissioners, thus strongly states the case with respect to
printing :

" You receive, I suppose, into your library every year some twenty

thousand volumes, or somethii^ Idie that. Why, if you had a printed

catalc^ue dropped down from Heaven to you at this moment perfect, this

day twelve-month your twenty thousand mterlineatioos would spoil th«

Mia— 3 , • I

[1] 34

simplicity of that catalogue ; again the next year twenty thousanJ more :
and the next year twenty thousand more; so that at the em] of four or five

years, you ■would have your catalogue just in the condition that your new
catalogue is now (the manuscript part greater than the printed part.)
With that new catalogue before your eyes, I am astonished there should be
any discussion about it, for there is the experiment ; the experiment ha*
been made and failed."

Not one European library of the first class, has a complete printeil cata-
logue in a single work. The Bodleian library issued, in 1943, a catalogue
in three large volumes folio, irhich is generally but erroneously supposed
to contain the titles of all books in the collection ; but all books of wliirh
special catalogues had previously been publr^he I, are omitted in it. For a
complete catalogue of the Bodleian library, it is necessary to procure, not
only the three volumes folio printed in 1843, but also four other volumes,
containing the catalogues of collections belonging to the library. There-
fore, one may be obliged to search five cafaloeuen, belore he cam ascertain
whether any particular book were in that library up tu the end of the
year 1S34.

The catalogue of 1843 is only brought down to 1835, None, therefore,
of the literature of the last fifteen years, and none of the acquisitions ol
the library during that period, are contained in it. A supplement is in
press, or perhaps already published, which contains the additions to tit
library from 1835 to 1847. When this is published, it will be possible- to
ascertain whether any given book was or was not in the library at the
close of the year 1847 ; but it may be necessary to search six catalogues
for the purpose.

In view of these facts, it is not surprising that the commissioners upon
the British Museum should come to the opinion, that it is unwise to print
the catalogue of that library, and should advise that nothing more be at-
tempted than to prepare and keep up a manuscript catalogue.

But, in this opinion the English public, who look to the end without
considering the difficulties of the way, do not seem coriRalty to acquiesce ;
and it wiirperhaps be found necessary to print, even at the estimated cost
of £40,000 sterling, and with the certainty that, almost as soon as the
catalogue comes from the press, the re-publication of it will be as loudly
demanded.

This is surely, a disheartening state of things. It applies with equal
force to catalogues of all forms ; alphabetical, chronological, and classed.
It has been felt and lamented hy every one who has had the care of an
increasing- library.

In seeking a remedy for this evil, the idea occurre<I to me several years
ago, to stereotype the titles separate!!/, and to preserve the plates or blocks
in alphabetical order of the titles; so as to be able readily to insert addi-
tional titles in their proper places, and then to reprint the whole catalogue.
By these means, the chief cost of re-pubii cation — that of composition,
together with the trouble of revision and correction of the press, would,
except for the new titles, be avoided. The great difficulty which had so
long oppressed and discouraged librarians, and involved libraries in expenses
so enonnous, would thus be overcome.

This idea which had occurred to me before ray appointment as librarian
of the Smithsonian Institution, assumed, in my mud, new importance in

cdhnection with the plan of forming a general catalogue of American li-
braries.

>ty action in the matter was checked by the discouraging opinions of
se^"eral stereotypers, whom I consulted. I did not indeed believe the
diflicultiys, which they suggested, to be insuperable ; but I was so situated
tliat it was impossible for me at once, to institute the experiments necessary
to show the practicability of stereotyping titles separately. ,

In the meantime the librarian and directors of the American Antiquarian
society, having heard of the plan, opened a correspondence with me on the
suliject, with n view of employing it in the republication of their own
catalogue. The enerfi^etic aid and ingenious suggestions of one of the
directors, the Rev. E<lwanl E. Hale, of Worcester, gave a new impulse to
the scheme, and induce<l me to propose its adoption by the Smithsonian
Institution sooner than I had anticipated.

The suggestions of Mr. Hale were seconded by the praclical skill of Mr.
"Wilcox, an ingenious electrotypist of Boston, who made the electrotyped
page of separate movable titles, which I have already submitted to your
inspection. It is a beautiful piece of work. It demonstrated to the con-
viction of the most incredulous, the practicability of this method of printing
catalogues.

AAcr the plan had been made public by a paper, which I presented in
August last, to the American Association for the Advancement of Science,
Mr. John K. Rogers, agent of the Boston type and stereotype foundry,
devised a method of accomplishing the purpose by means of the common
process of stereotyping. He caused a page to be made for exhibition at
the Mechanics' fair in Boston. He has since been at the expense of another
page, very handsomely executed and with several improvements, which I
have now the pleasure of submitting to your examination. This page
establishes the applicability of the common stereotype process to our
purpose. The company which Mr. Rogers represents, is ready to enter
into a contract to do the work, at a very small advance upon the usual
price of stereotyping. Whatever the result may be, our thanks are due to
Mr, Rogers for his mtelligent and liberal elForts.

Meanwhile my attention was directed to a new process of stereotyping,
which proinlvfs to form an era in the art. A gentleman from Indiana,
Mr, Josiah Warren is the inventor. The material which he uses for ste-
reotyping costs not more than three cents an octavo page. The process is
so simpif, that any man of average ingenuity could learn to practice it
successfully by two or three days instruction. The cost of apparatus for
carrying on the work is very small. The rapidity of execution is such,
that one man can produce at least twenty-five octavo pages a day, all
finished and ready for use. The plates give a beautiful impression. They
seem as durable as common stereotype plates, and so far as now known,
llicy are not in any great degree more liable to injury.

If tliis invention bears successfully the severe tests of praclical men, it
will have been brought forward at a most favonible period for this project.
It will be seen, by the specimens which I herewitii present, that it olfcrs
extraordinary facilities for the kind of work which we require, and it will
reiluce the expense very greatly.

This preliminary point of the practicability of stereotyping by titles,
may therefore be considered as established, 'that it can be done by the
electrotype process, as well aa by (he ordinary mode of stcreotyping,Tia

[1] 36

placed beyond dispute. It seems equally certain that it ran be done b

Mr. Warren's method. The choice among these three ways must be detei

mined by their comparative economy, convenience, and elegance. W

have not yet had the opportunity to bring this point to a final decision. 1

is certain, however, that the work can he done. 1 proceed, therefore, t

state the proposed manner of applying this plan to the printing of cata

logues of particular libraries, and to the formation of a general catalogue o

allthe libraries in this country. It is as follows :

It is believed there is nothing impracticable in any part of this plan,
provided that the benefits to be derived from it, be such as to secure the
co-operation of the various libraries in the country. To these benefits,
therefore, it is necessary to direct particular attention.

And first, let us consider its advantages in an economical point of vieir
to the first institution adopting it.

.We will suppose, for example, that the Amencan Antiquarian Society
proposes to publish a new catalogue of its library. This institution
printed, in 1837, a handsome and valuable catalogue, in five hundred
and sixty two lai^e 8vo. pages, in fine type. The composition cost,
we will suppose, one dollar a page. This must all now be reprinted, in
order to add the titles of hooks received since 1837, the number of which
is almost equal to that of the former catalogue. If a new catalogue be
now printed, in ten or twelve years it will be necessary to reprint the
whole, and this process will go on, till the expense of reprinting will be
quite appalling. Now had the titles of the orignial catalogue been stereo-
typed, the catalogue, instead of costing for the composition 500 dollars,
might have cost, for composition and stereotyping, 150 dollars, counting
the extra cost of stereotyping in titles 50 per cent, above that of the
composition.*

Sut the necessity of re-composing the first part would no longer exist.
Five hundred dollars would therefore be saved in the first reprint, whilst
the extra expense of stereotyping was only two hundred and fiAy dollare,
Thus the net gain would be two nundred and fifty dollars, minus the cost
of newly making up and imposing the old matter, which would be very
inconsiderable. But there would be still further gains. It would not be
thought necessary to print so la^e editions, if the work could be repro-
duced at a trifling expense. The re-arrangement, too, passes from the

haada of the librarian to those of the printer; and the proof-reading has
been done, once for all.

The time for applying this system to the first edition is indeed past,
but the same reasoning, at the present moment, applies to the second. If
the whole be now stereotyped, and two hundred copies struck off, the
accessions for the first year may be stereotyped and printed separately,
and in the second or third year, a new catalogue may be issued, with the
additions incorporated. In the mean time, it is probable, that many of
the supplementary titles would have been stereotyped for other libraries,
and, thus, the cost of writing them out and of stereotyping them, be spared
to the Antiquarian Society. If the cost of composition for the catalogue
about to be published (containing thirty thousand titles or more,) be stated
at one thousand dollars, for an additional sum of five hundred dollars the
necessity of recomposing would be forever obviated, and the great
advantage secured of being able to print every two or three years, at
small expense, new editions, each complete to the time of its publication.

It is thus, I think, demonstrable, that even for the use of a single
library, this plan would be economical.

Let us next consider the advantages which the second Library, adopting
the plan, may hope from it, in an economical point of view.

We will suppose, for the sake of example^ that af^er the catalogue of
the Antiquarian Society's Library has been stereotyped, and the titles
placed under the care of the Smithsonian Institution, it is proposed to
issue a new edition of the catalogue of the Library of Congress. What
inducements would there be for adopting this plan?

It has been the practice in this Library to print a new edition of the
catalogue every ten years, and to issue annual supplements. About one-
fifth of the catalogue has been printed five times ; two-fifths four times, &c.
Now, from what nas already been said, it will be manifest how great the
saving would have been had this plan been known and followed from the
first, even if the first cost of stereotyping by titles had been twice or three
times that of ordinary printing ; and consequently how great the prospec-
tive advantage of adopting the plan, even independently of any general
system.

But I now suppose that, when the plan is adopted for the Library of
Congress, the catalogue of the Antiquarian Library has already been stereo-
typed, and that the titles are in possession of the Smithsonian Institution,
for the use of other libraries entering into the general arrangement. Here
is a new and very important element in the calculation.

We suppose the number of titles of the Antiquarian LibrarVj already
stereotyped, to be thirty thousand. Some of these would doubtless be the
same in both collections. For all that are common to the two, the expense
ai the preparation of titles, of composition and of revision would he saved
to the Library of Congress. It is impossible to say, with exactness, how
much the saving woula be from these sources, because these two catalogues
are not uniform nor complete. If the Library of Congress were property
catalogued, it would give perhaps seventy thousand titles. Of these I pre-
sume not less than fifteen thousand would be identical with the same
number of the Antiquarian Library. At this rate, more than one-fifth of
ihe labor and cost of preparation would be saved by the use of titles pre-
pared and stereotyped by others, over and above the savings already
enumerated.

.vGooglf

[ 1 ] 38

After the stereotyping of the Antiquarian Library, and the Library of
Congress, we ahoufd have perhaps eighty-five thausamt stereotyped titles.
Of course the third institution adopting the plan would be likely to find a
Yery large number of its titles identical with those already stereotyped*
The amount saved by the use of titles already stereotyped would soon,
(perhaps in the third Library) be sufficient to counterbalance the extra
expenditure for stereotyping for that Library. At any rate, the extra
expense would be a quantity constantly and rapidly diminishing, and it
would soon (certainly after the fourth or fifth large Library) vanish entirely.
The Smithsonian Institution would not therefore he required to assume the
charge of an enterprise which might involve it in great and increasing
expense, but rather, and solely, to help put in operation, and^to guide a
system which will almost immediately pay its own way, and will soon
(ave enormous sums of money to our public libraries.

That the aggregate economy of this plan would be very great, may be
seen from tlie following statement :

We have in our hbrary fifteen thousand pages, mostly in octavo, of cata-
logues of public libraries in the United States, These contain at least four
liundred and fifty thousand titles. But according to the best estimate which
I can make from, a comparison of these catalogues, there are among them,
not more than one hundred and fifty thousand different titles. Two-thirds
then of (he whole cost of printing the catalogues the first time, might hnw
been saved by assuming the extra exper.sa of stereotyping the remaimng third

I have put thus prominently forward the economy to be expected from
the proposed enterprise, not because this, in mv estimation, is the mo.*^
powerful argument in favor of it ; nor because 1 should entirely despjjir
of its adoption were if not advantageous in a pecuniary point of view;
but because, even if there were no other reasons for it, (provided there
were none against it,) the fact of its great economy would be decisive;
and because in the present poverty of our institutions of learning, and in
the vast number of plans for the extension of their usefulness, which present
themselves for consideration, and claim approval, this might stand a
much smaller chance of success if it rested entirely upon other grounds
than the saving of money.

Having now, however, shown its economy when employed by a single
Library, and its great economy in connection with a general system, I
proceed to suggest a few, among the many benefits to the cause of
Knowledge, which this plan promises, if generally adoped.

It can hardly be necsssary for me to dwell at length upon the benefits to
be expected from a general printed catalogue of all books in the public
Libraries of America. By means of it, every student in America would
have the means of knowing the full extent of his resources for investi-
gation. The places where the book could be found, would he indicated
in the catalogue. A correspondence would be kept up between this Insti-
tution anJ every other library in the country. A system of exchange and
of general loans might, with certain stringent conditions, lie established,
so that all tfie literary treasures of the country would be measurably ap-
cessible to every scholar. When the loan of a book would be impos-
sible, extracts could be copied, quotations verified, and researches made,
through the intervention of this Institution, which would in many cases
be nearly as valuable to the student as the pereonal examination of tbe
book.

.vGooglf

39 [ 1 ]

Id connection with this topic I -would add : B^ law, a copy of every
book for which a copyright shall he secured in this country is required to
lie delivered to the Smithsonian Institution, and to be preserved therein.
It is hoped that additional legislation on this subject, will, while it lightens
tlie burdens of publishers, secure the observance of this law, with respect
to the Smithsonian Institutioif, in all cases. If then, the books thus ob-
tained be all preserved, they will constitute the complete monumental
history of American hterature, during the existence of the law. It is
useless to enlarge upon the value of such a coilection.

If, now, a list of these publications, as they come into the library, should
month by month be published in the proposed Bulletin, and the titles
immediately stereotyped, the expense would be trifling of publishing every
year a catalogue of the books copyrighted in America during tlie year,
and to print every 5ve years, a general catalogue of American publications
up to that limit. Thus, Ihe monthly bulletins, the annual lists, and the
quinquennial catalogues would furnish full and satisfactory records of
American publications,

Again, this general catalogue would enable purchasers of books for
public libraries, to consult, juiliciously, ibr the wants of the country. So
poor are we in the books which scholars need ; so long, at liest, must we
remain in a condition of provincial dependence in literary matters ; that a
re'jpansibility to the whole country rests upon the man who selects the
books for any public library.

Another important benefit of this system is that it allows us to vary
the form of the catalogue, at will, from the alphabetical to the classed,
and' to modify the classification as we please. The titles, separately
stereotyped, may change their order at command. If, for example, it
were required to print a separate list of all hooks in the country on the
subject of meteorology, it would be necessary merely to check olt in the
general catalogue the titles to <>e used, and to hand it to the printer to do
the rest of the work.

Another great benefit of this project would be to secure uniformity in
catalogues. A good degree of uniformity would be absolutely indispen-
sable to the success of the plan. Entire uniformity is not indeed to be
expected. Perfection is not an attribute of the works of man. But a
much higher degree of uniformity would result from this plan, than could
otherwise be hoped for. The rules for cataloguing must be stringent,
and should meet as far as possible all difTicuIties of detail. Nothing, so
far as can be avoided, should be left to the individual taste or judgment
of the cataloguer. He should be a man of sufficient learning, accuracy
and fidelity, to apply the rules. In cases of doubt, reference should be
msiie to the central establishment to which the whole work should l>e
submitted, page by page, for examination <ind revision. Thus we should
have ail our catalogues formed substantially on one plan. Now, even if
the plan adopted were that of the worst of our catalogues, if all were on
the same plan, this uniformity would render catalogues, thus made, far
more useful than the present chaos of irregularities. But we hope that
the best possible system may be adopted.

Another general consideration is that this project looks towards the
accomplishment of that cherished dream of scholars, a universal catalogue.
If the system should he successful in this country, it may eventually bs
K in every country of Europe, When all shall have adopted and carried

[ 1 ] 49

out the plan, each for itself, the aggregate of the general catalogues
thus formed — few in number — will embrace the whole body of literature
extant, and from them, it will be no impossible task to digest and publish
a universal bibliography. How much thb would promote the progress
of knowledge by showing, more distinctly, what has been attempted and
accomplished, and what yet remains to he achieved, and by thus directing
the outlay of intellect aright ; how much, by rebuking the rashness which
rushes into authorship, ignorant of what others have written, and adding
to the mass of books without adding to the sum of knowledge ; how
much by giving confidence to the true and heroic student, who fears no
labor so that it oring him to the commanding height at which he aims —
the summit of learning in the branch to which he devotes himself; how
much such a work would, in these and other ways, promote the great
object we have in view, is well deserving the attention of every thought-
ful mind. Upon it I may not at j)resent longer dwell.

In America alone can this system be put into immediate operation. In
every large country in Europe the arrears in cataloguing, or the mass of
titles accumulated in the libraries, would render the first expenses of the
enterprise quite startling. But here all things conspire in our favor — our
libraries are all small, and mostly repetitions one of another. But they
are prosperous and will rapidly increase. Their supporters are all desirous
of having printed catalogues, A central administration is necessary. This
can be accepted by the Smithsonian Institution, whose position is (.eculiarly
favorable, and whose funds are consecrated to such purposes. The enter-
prise requires no great outlay of money, no gigantic effort. It may go
noiselessly, but rapidly into operation. There is nothing to prevent its
immediate usefulness.

The commissioners appointed to examine and report upon the project,
considered not only its general features, but also its minute details. To
them were submitted the rules proposed for cataloguing, which were sepa-
rately discussed, and after having been variously amended and modified,
were recommended for adoption. It is not supposed that this code provides
for every case that will occur. The peculiarities of books are, like the
idiosyncracies of authors, innumerable. They baflle the best efforts at
cinssili cation, except under general heads. The most elaborately formed
laws for recording their titles would be inadequate to provide for entire
uniformity or consistency. Doubts nnd difficulties would inevitably arise as
to the application of the laws. These must, to prevent varying decisions,
lie submitted to one person. Hence it is important that the first part of
the work, which will fiimish examples for the rest, should be done under
the immediate eye of the superintendent.

Easy as the operation may seem, to those who have never attempted it,
there is no species of literary labor so difficult, or that requires knowledge
so extensive and various, as the cataloguing of a large library. It demands
peculiar qualifications of patience and accuracy, and a special education — a
professional training. Even those most expert must work slowly, if
they would avoid mistakes. It is therefore a great consideration that, on
this plan, each title, once prepared, is prepared for all the libraries in which
the book occurs ; whereas, on any other, time and thought and labor ar«
repeated for every copy of the book.

From the favor with which the plan has been met, it can hardly be doubted
that it will receive the hearty ana vigorous co-operatiou of all the libraries

in the country. Several are ready to be^ upon their catalogues at onoe.
For the reasons alreaJy stated, however, it is desirable to be^in here. At
first the work cannot proceed rapidly. After the accumulatian of a con-
siderable number of titles, progress will be much accelerated.

Great as this enterprise is, it vriil not require the outlay of much money
on the part of the Smithsonian Institution to put it in operation, which
being once done, it will take care of itself. It will not be a constant
djain upon our funds; but on the contrary, it will ere long far mor«
than repay in the facilities for making our own catalogues, all that may at
first be expended upon it.

Respectfully submitted,

Having thus presenteil the general statistics of the Museum up to
the present time, I next proceed to a statement of the more active
operations of the Natural History department of the Institution. For an
account of what had been done up to IS-JO, by Messrs Lindheimer, Fentl-
ler and Wright, I would refer to the Appendix to your last report (for
1849. The expeditions undertaken since that time, have been those of Mr.
Culherlson and myself.

The expedition of Mr. Thaddeus Culbertson took place during the past
suramer. For several years I have been receiving valuable specimens
ffom different friends, in the Upper Missouri, whose other duties, however,

Srevented them from collecting as much as could have been wished.
Ir, Culbertson being about to visit this region for the benefit of his health,
offered to make for tne Smithsonian Institution such collections in Natural
Ifotory, as might be indicated to him as desirable ; I accordingly prepared
a list of desiderata, and among others, directed his attention to the eocene
deposits of White River, known as the Mauvaises Terres or bad lands. Hs
accordingly set out from St. Louis, in April, in company with his brother
A, Culbertson, Esq., for many years connected with tne American Fur
company, and then on bis way to look after its aSairs in the remote regiQiii

[1] 44

of the Yello-wstone. From St. Louis they proceeded to St. Josephs in a
steamboat, and thence by land, in a carriage to Fort Pierre. A ^^J °^
two after arriving at this fort, Mr. Culbertson started out to the "Bad
Lands" with a party, and after several days march reached the spot iwhere
Mr. A. Culbertson had previously found the fossil Mammalia, fPoebrothe-
rium Wilsonii, Merycoidodon Culbertsonii, &c.,) presented by nim to the
Academy of Natural Sciences, and described by Dr. Leidy. Here addi-
tional specimens were soon found, and a cart was laden to its utmost
capacity. With these, the party returned to Fort Pierre, whence, after a
short rest, Mr. C. embarked on board the E! Paso, anil in her, ascended
the Missouri to a point abfve Milk river, some hundreds of miles beyond
Fort Union, and higher tlian any steamboat had ever gone previously.
Descending the river again, after but short stops at the various trading
posts, Mr. C. arrived in St. Louis in JuiV) and reached his home in Cham-
twrsburg, Pennsylvania, in August. The main object of his trip, viz:
relief from a distressing cough, threatening consumption, had been gained,
and his renewed strength gladdened the hearts of his friends. But shortly
after his return he was attacked by an unusually fatal form of bilious
dysentery, then prevalent in the neighborhood, and died after an illness of
a few weeks. Mr. C. left a full journal of a!! the events connected with
his trip, though without any view to its publication. This, which was un-
revised by him at his death, I found to contain much interesting matter,
relative to the Natural History and topography of the country, the manners
and statistics of the Indians, &c. The manuscript was put into my hands
by the parents of Mr. Culbertson, with permission to select for publication
such portions as luight be deemed desirable. I therefore present this
journal to you, as containing the only account of the country above Fort
rierre, since 1833, when it was visited by the Prince de Wied. It may be
well to observe that I have not felt at liberty to alter the original to
any material extent, which, combined with the fact of its entire lack of
revision by the author, will be a sufficient excuse for any imperfection!
of style.

The fossil remains procured by Mr. Culbertson, constitute an exceed-
ingly interesting series of Mammalian and Reptilian species, including
many that had never been described. These have been referred to
Dr. Leidy, for examination, who has already characterized four species
of Mammalia :

Rhinoceros occidental is.
" Nebraskensis.

Palaeothericm Bairdii.
Agriochiefus antiquus.

The other specimens brought by Mr. C. consisted of skulls, skins and
skeletons of the larger Mammalia, as bufTalo, grizzly bear, prairie wolt,
(Canis latrans) white wolf, (Coccidentalis) wolverine, (Gulo luscus,) beaver,
ic., &c. Some of these he collected himself, others had been procured
during the previous winter, by Messrs. E. T. Denig, and Ferdinand Cul-
bertson, at the request of Alexander Culbertson. Various specimens wers
also obtained from other gentlemen connected with the American Fur Com-
pany. It is due to this company to state, that with their usual hberalitr,
they rendered Mr. C. every assistance in their power, as they had previously
done to the Prince de Wied, Nicollet, Audubon, Evans and other travet-
eis. The thanka of the Institution are due to Messrs. Deojg and F. Cul-

45 [1]

bertson, and especially to Mr. Alexander Culbertson for their valuabh
services. The latter gentleman bore the entire expense of the trip from
Fort Pierre to the Mauvaises Terres, besides paying a considerable sum
to hunters and others for many of the specimens sent.

The second expedition referred to as undertaken by myself, had mainly
for its object the investigation of the ichthyology of Northern New York and
Vermont. With three companions, in the months of July and August last,
I visited the northern shores of Lake Champlain, the valley of the Upper
Hudson, Lake George, the St. Lawrence river, lake Ontano and Seneca
lake.

In this trip many species of animals, and especially of fishes, both de-
scribed and undescribed, were obtained, and mnny interesting facts ascer-
tained with regard to their geographical distribution. A remarkable new
fenius of Cottoid fishes (Triglopsis,) discovered in lake Ontario, will shortly
e published by the Institution, in a monograph prepared by Mr. C. Girard.

I beg leave in conclusion to present some general suggestions in regard to fu-
ture operations of the Smithsonian Institution, in the department of Natural
History. It is a fundamental principle in its organization, as presented in
the programme and in your annual reports, not to attempt complete col-
lections of all natural objects, but rather to gather up such materials for
investigation as have been comparatively neglected by others. It may, in-
deed, he desirable, for purposes of general examination, to have extensive
series of specimens from the three kingdoms of nature — animal, vegetable,
and mineral, so far as they can be procured and exhibited without undue
expense of time, money and space. For the present, however, attention
should be directed mainly to such branches as nitherto may not have had
their due share of attention.

A prominent object in making collections should be to fiimisb to
travellers the means of determining the character of objects collected in
various parts of North America.

Hitherto, officers of the army returning toWashington have generally been
obliged to send or carry these objects out of the city, for the purpose of
identification or verification, thus involving a considerable loss of time
and credit. These specimens becoming vndely scattered, rarely return
hither, and when another occaaon arises, the whole labor has to ba
repeated. By retaining them here and combining with them such series
of specimens from North America, and other parts of the world, as may
be specially procured for the purpose, very little delay in making up
reports, need hereafter arise. It will, of course, be necessary to call
in the aid of the library in procuring all the general and special works
which may be required in these investigations. Towards such help the
rich collection of transactions of learned societies, already in the library of
the Institution, and augmenting daily, will greatly tend.

Collections illustrating the general Natural History of North America,
become then, an object of primary importance. Much valuable material of
this kind is now on hand, and much, it is hoped, will be procured in the
various ways hereafter specified. An exceedingly important aid to this is
furnished by the act of Congress establishing the Smithsonian Institution
which specifies that all objects of Natural History belonging, or hereafter
to belong to the United States, in whosoever custody the same may be,
•hall be delivered to such persons as are authorized by the Board of Re^ntt
to receive them. This entrusts to the Institution the custody of all cwlec-

[1] «

tions publicly aod officially made ; but there are many Taluable specimens
procured in a private way whose acquisition must depend on the co-opera-
tion and assistance of officers of the various expeditions, and of heads of de-
partments. Olficers stationed at the various military posts, have it in their
power to do much, by procuring the objects of Natural History in their
vicinity, and forwarding them to Washington. It is earnestly hoped
that this co-operation may he obtained generally.

Next in importance to North American objects of nature, are those of
Europe. The lies uniting the two continents are not merely those of moral,
civil and political relationship, for the connection existing between thu
Natural History of the two is almost as intimate. A large proportion of
the genera found in the one, occur in the other, often the same species, or
those that are very closely allied. This is true of all orders of animals and
od'most families of plants.

Next to Europe comes Japan, a region which, in some respects, is moFe
ciosoiy alhed to our country, than even Europe. This is especiliy tlie
casj with respect to the reptiles, some of which, as species of Plestiodon,
and others have been conadered by eminent herpetologists absolutely
identical with North American. Unfortunately there are at the present
time almost insuperable difficulties in the way of procuring Japanese
specimens; the Dutch Naturalists being the only ones who have succeeded
in exploring even the shores of this country. Little can he done, ther«'
fore, except by exchange with the museums of Holland.

With regard to collections from other countries than those specified,
the best rule will he to seek for those series which the other museunis of
the country do not possess. What these are, I do not, at present, feel
prepared to state; but hope to have it in ray power in a future re-
port, to illustrate more fully this subject, in a generaJ account of the dif-
ferent collections in North America.

It may, perhaps, be well to indicate briefly the branches of North
American Natural History which have recieved most attention. Mam-
malia have been ably investigated by Godman, Harian, Audubon, Bach-
man and others ; the present state of our knowledge of the subject being
exhibited in the works of the two last named gentlemen. There is,
however, no good collection of these animals; that of the Academy of
Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, being much the best in the countiy. TIw
private collection of Mr. Audubon is more complete than any other. It ii
a mortifying fact that this gentleman was obliged to have recourse to
foreign museums for the purpose of figuring and describing certain North
American species, which should have been accessible in one collection, at
least, in this country.

The ornithological collections of the country, both public and private are
very numerous. Among the former, that of the Academy of Natural
Sciences, is by fer the best. The New York Lyceum, and the Boston
Natural History Society have prc^tty good collections. Of private collec-
tions, among the best are those of Messrs. Bell, Giraud and Lawrence, of
New York. The ornithology of North America, east of the Mississippi,
has been pretty well worked up, but much remains to be done west of
this houndary.

General collections of North American reptiles are very rare in thJi
country, that of the Philadelphia academy as usual, being the best among
public museums.

Fisbes have been preserred in several ronsnims throughont Ae csuntry.
The Boston Natural History Society has the best series of North American
marine species. The New York Lyceum comes next. Neither possesses
many freah water species, being vastly exceeded in this respect by the col-
lections of Professor Agassiz and my own. There is more difficulty in pre-
serving alcoholic specimens, (as collections of reptiles and fishes must, for
the most part necessarily be) than those that are dried; it is to this fact
that the scanty representation of these classes of vertebrate, is owing.

Among insects, Coleoptera have been almost exclusivfly studitd. The
private collections of Messrs. Leconte, llaldemaD, Morris, IJarris, Mel-
sheimer and many others, are rich in species. The Messrs. Leconte, father
and son, have the largest of these, embracing many hundreds and indeed
thousands of undescribed species. The public collection of the Academy
of Natural Sciences at Philadelphia, and others, are of less value. La-
pidoptera, or butterflies and moths, come next. The best collection per-
haps of these, is that of Mr. Titian Peale, of Washington ; Messrs. Harris,
Morris, and Haldeman, and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila-
delphia, have also good collections.

(Comparatively little is known of the other orders of insects. The Neu-
roptera and Orthoptera of New Englan<l have been collected by Dr. Harris ;
Diptera, Hemiptera, and Hymenoptera, have been almost entirely neglected.
Say is almost the only American Naturalist who has occupied the whole
field of Entomology.

Spiders have been ably investigated and abundantly collected by Hentz,
who is still continuing his labors in this department. Much, however, i«-
mains to be done.

The Potlophtbaimian Crustacea are preserved in various cabinets, although
many species yet await discovery. Messrs. Say, Dana, and Gibbes, ar«
the principal workers in this field. The remaining orders, as Araphippda,
Entomostraca, Isopoda, Jfcc, &c,, have been almost wholly neglected.

The North American worms have never been collected lo any extent.

Of all invertebrata, the hard parts of MoUusca, or shells, have received
most attention in this country. There are numerous valualile cabinets,
public and private, including both domestic and foreign species. The best
public collection of American species, is probably that of the Academy of
Natural Sciences. Among private ones, may be named those of Dr. John
0. Jay, John S. Phillips, Isaac Lea, Major John Leconte, J, G. Anthony,
Professor Haldeman, anri others. Most of these gentlemen have had es-
pecial reference to Unionidae in their collections. Nothing, however,
has been done towards preserving a series of the animals of shells.

Very little is known of the Radiata of North America. A few species
are preserved in public museums, but by far the most extensive collection is
that belonging to Professor Agassiz.

Phanerogamic plants have received much attention, and the private col-
lections of Drs. Torrey, Gray and others, with numerous public; ones ■of
greater or less extent, leave comparatively little to be desired in this respect.
Great additions are continually being received from the country west of
the Mississippi, in collections made by officers of the array and pri\ate indi-
viduals. Among these should be mentione<l Col. Fremont, Col. Emory,
Capt. Stansbury, Major Rich, Messrs. Lindheimer, Wright, Fendler, Gre^,
Wislizenus, Crumraond, and others.

Cryptt^mic botany has been considerably neglected until within a &v

[1] «

J ears past. The best collectiona are in the bands of prirate individualSf aa
leisra. SuUivant, Tuckerman, Curtis, Bailey, Lesquereux, and others. A
great deal remains still to be done in this branch of botany. The work of
Dr. Harvey on North American AJgae, in preparation for the Smithsonian
Institution, will tend greatly to stimulate collectors to pay attention to
this order.

Collections in Palaeontolo^ are quite numerous, though principally local.
The beet general collection is that of the Academy of Natural Scieaces.
Their museum is incomparably richer than any other in this country,
in collections of fossil vertebrata. The only collection of any extent, of the
fossil bones found in the caves of the United States, is in the cabinet of this
Institution. Of the interesting Eocene species of the Upper Missouri, Dr.
Evans of Washington has made an exceedingly valuable collection, under
direction of the liand Office. Next to this comes a similar one made by
Mr. Culbertson for the Smithsonian Institution. An excellent collection of
_ tertiary fossils is in possession of Professor F. S. Holmes, of Charleston,
South Carolina. The tertiary and cretaceous fossil shells in the Philadel-
phia Academy al-e very numerous in species.

Many of the Mineralogical collections of this country are very complete,
both as respects Domestic and Foreign species. Such are the cabinets of
Yale College, of the Academy of Natural Sciences, of Dartmouth College,
of Bowdoin College, of Messrs. Markoe, VauX, Clay, Ashmead, Alger,
Bouve, and others. The general interest in the subject of Mineralogy
is such as scarcely to require any additional stimulus, except so far ai
relates to Geology.

There are various ways in which collections may be made by the Smith-
aonian Institution, the principal of which are as follow :
Deposits by Government,
" Individuals,
Exchange,
Purchase,

Employment of Collectors,
Donations.

To the first of these, I have already briefly referred. Up to the present
time nothing has been received, save the series of specimens illustrating Dr.
Jackson's report on the mineral lands of Lake Superior.

In some collections, specimens deposited by individuals form a conspic-
uous feature. These, when of considerable extent and completeness, or
when illustrating some special researches or publications, are often very
important, particularly as they are, in most cases, ultimately presented.
Single spedmens, unless of much value, are not generally desirable, ai
deposits. Free choice must, of courae, be left the Institution, to say
what shall be received, and what rejected.

To the individual collector, exchange with other individuals or with so-
cieties, forms the principal mode ol forming his cabinet, beyond what may
be personally procurable. This of course, implies that the specimens bt
gathered in lars;er quantities than would be necessary for a single collec-
tion. By a judicious system of exchange, based upon a large stock of
duplicates, it becomes possible to procure almost any species, domestic or
foreign, at little expense beyond that of transportation. To this end it i>
desirable to secure large numbers of such objects as may be specified her»-
aftcr.

' Purchase is an excellent method c^ increasing a collection in b short
time. It not unjrequently happens, however, that acquisitions thus made
«re of comparatively litlle value, as is found to be the case in regard to
most of the miscellaneous museums, public and private, which are offered
for sale. It is of course different with respect to collections made for a
spedtic purpose by practised Naturalists, particularly when they contain
undescribed species, or serve as the types of standard works. Considerable
operations of this kind require larpe sums of money as will be seen by re-
ference to the annual statement ofexpenditures made by the British govern-
ment in behalf of the National Museum;* and with the numerous drafts on
ita income, it is not deemed expedient for the Smithsonian Institution ever
to do much for its cabinet by direct purchase. It is confidently believed
too, that the Museum will increase almost as rapidly as accommodations
can be furnished, by donations of individuals, who may have it in their
power to make collections, as well as by the special efforts of its officers.
This hope is strengthened by the actual experience of other institutions.

The employment or assistance of collectors in visiting particular por-
tions of country is productive of very important results at very fittle
expense. In illustration of this, I would refer to the acquisitions made by
the Institution through Messrs. Lendler, Lindheimer, Wright, Culbertson,

utd othen. In tbis I am also bome bot by my ovn experience. For se-
veral years past, I have beeo in the habit of visiting di^erent portions of
the United States, mainly in search of vertebrate animals. Accompanied on
yuch occasions by zealous volunteers, I have succeeded in accuniulating verj
extensive collections, including very many rare, and even undescribed spe-
des, besides obtaining much valuable information in regard to the general
history <^ animals and plants.

It is mainly to the employment of collectors, that the great European
museums owe their richness. In most of these a regular corps is employ*^!
continually, in travelling through vanous portions of the world and gath-
ering large numbers of duplicates which are ultimately distributed, in ex-
change to other institutions.

In cases where memoirs, containing descriptions of animals or plants are
presented to the Institution for publication, it should, as far as possible, be
made a condition of their acceptance, that a series of the objects described
be deposited for the purpose of being placed on record, and as authenticating
the species. These should be labdfled by the author, and the names thus
attached, be ever afterward retained, even though they may have been in-
correct, or may have been modified by subsequent discoveiies. Individuals
too, should be requested to present similar specimens to be kept in the
same manner, illustrating descriptions published elsewhere than by the
Smithsonian Institution.

At some future period, when the number of duplicates is sufficiently large, I
it may be possible to furnish lycenms, schools, colleges and other institutions I
with series of specimens properly labelled and arranged, of various branches
of Natural History. Individuals too, engaged in special investigations,
may hereafter find it practicable to procure objects in such quantities or of
such character, as to render material, if not indispensable aid. This feature
will, however, require the cordial co-operation c4' naturalists and collectors,
to render it practicable.

I may remark that for the assistance of those who may be unskilled in
the collecting, preservation and packing of specimens, a pamphlet containing
the directions is now in preparation, and will shortly be issued by the Insti-
tution. This will be of considerable size, and in addition to the merely
taxidennical portions, will contain notices of special desiderata, in particular
portions of the world ; a brief indication of the principal divisions of Natu-
ral History ; and notices of the most accessible sources to which the be-
ginner must applv for information respecting the different branches of th*
subject ; the whole illustrated by figures.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

The Executive committee submitted to the Board the following report of

the expenditures, state of finances, &c., of the Smithsonian Institution

up to the end of the year, 1850 :
The whole amount of the Smithsonian hequest received into

the Treasury of the United States, was 8515,169 00

The annual interest on the same at six per

cent., is $30,910 04

The interest which had accrued up to July, 1846,

when the trust was placed under the care of

the Regents, was 242,129 00

Total, H-^i?^

The Regents were authorized to expend on the building, the $242,139,
which had accrued in interest, together with such portions of interest on the
original bequest as might remain unexpended in any year. It was, however
thought that the income of the ori^nal hequest would be small in propor-
tion to the demand made upon it, in carrying out the several parts of the
extended plan of organization, and in defraying the necessary expenses of a
large building. The Kegents, therefore determined to increase the perma-
nent fund by saving from the accrued and accruing interest, the sum of
$(150,000, and for this purpose they resolved to limit the expenditure on
the building and grounds to the sum of $250,000. In order to save a part
of the accrued interest, it was further resolved that the building should not
be completed at once, but in the course of a number of years, and that the
sum intended for its erection, should be put at interest, so that the income
from this source, might in part, defray the expense of the edifice.

To carry out this plan, the $242,000 of accrued interest with an addition
of interest sufficient to make up #250,000, were drawn from the Treasury
and invested in United, States securities, and in order that the Institution
might not suffer loss by any depreciation of these securities, the contracli
of the building were made payable in Treasury notes at par value, or in
specie, at the option of the Regents.

This temporary investment has proved entirely successful. It has
yielded a constant interest, and also k premium in almost every case of sale,
on account of the rise in the value »f government securities.

Of the original sum thus put at interest, there remains st present,
8130,000, which, at sixteen per cent,, the present premium of government
securifies is worth 8i20S,900. From this it appears, that after all the ex-
penditure on the building and grounds, on researches, publications and lec-
tures, on the Library, Museum, and Gallery of Art, not only is the original
bequest untouched, but there is now on band, f^0d,800, of unexpended

At the last meeting of the Board of Regents, it was resolred to fire-

f'^^

[1] 68

the interior of the centre buildiog, at an additional expense of 844,000.
The Trhole cost of the building and grounds in round numbers will then be
9300,000. The only way in which this additional expenditure can be met
without interfering with the plan of finance above described, is that of ex-
tendi!^ the time of completing the building. The scheme of adding to the
original bequest, will be placed beyond the possibility of failure from any
fiirther demands on account of the building, if the petition presented to
Congress, to take from the Institution, to be placed with the original be-
quest, the sum of $150,000 be granted, there will then remain on hand
unexpended, a sum sufficient to complete the whole of the exterior, all the
interior of the two wings and of the two ranges, and all the rooms of the
towers of the buiiding. This space will be sufficient for the wants of the
Institution, until the accumulating interest will enable the Regents to finish
the remainder in accordance with the fire-proof plan.

At the last meeting of the Board, a new system of keeping the accounts,
and making the disbursements wjis adopted. From the beginning of the
Institution up to this time, the accounts had been kept and the disburse-
ments made by the Chairman of the Executive committee. This method
was temporarily adopted, but had been continued until the expiration of the
term of service of the Hon. W. W. Seaton, Chairman of the Executive com-
mittee, rendered a change necessary. This gentleman had kept the accountK
from the beginning, and made the disbursements without charge to the In-
stitution, and since it was not proper to burthen his successor with such
onerous duties, it was resolved that the following system be adopted :

1. That an assistant be appointed to take charge of the funds for the'
current expenses of the Institution, who shall give security for the safe
keeping of all moneys belonging to the Institution, which shall come into

3. That the fiinds before mentioned, be deposited until otherwise ordered,
with Messrs. Corcoran and Ri^s, to the credit of the Treasurer of the In-

3. That all bills presented for payment, shall be audited and certified by
the Secretary, on whose order, the assistant acting as Treasurer shall pay
them.

4. That the Treasurer report to the Secretary monthly, all payments
made by him during the preceding month.

5. That ali accounts be examined and certified by the Executive com-
mittee.

6. That the account books he kept in the Smithsonian building, so that
the Secretary and Executive committee may have ready access to them.

The Hon. W. W. Seaton was chosen Treasurer, and signified his accept-
ance of the office, but that he wonld receive no compensation for his services.

The new system of accounts went into operation at the beginning of July
last, and has been continued up to this time with satisfaction to the com-
mittee.

At the beginning of the institution it was not possible before knowing the
developement of the plans of organization, in practical operation to adopt a
classification of accounts showing the expenditure for different objects.
The plan of operations is now however so far established, that a system t>f
classification may be adopted.

The Secretary has accordingly, with the assistance of the other officers
of the Institution, prepared a programme of accounts, which may serve imti)

The Secretary has also with the assistance of Professor Jewett, and Col.
W. B. Randolph, of the United States Treasury Department, gone over all
the accounts from the beginning of the Institution, and re-nrranged them
in accordance with this prograrame. In making this re- arrangement, and
critical examination of all tne accounts, they have found no errors of any
magnitude, and the amount of receipts and expenditure in this new arrange-
ment perfectly agree with those presented in the general account of Mr.
Seaton.

In a few cases payments have been made in accordance with the spirit of
the resolutions of the Board, but which fall under no special appropriation,
the committee would therefore suggest that a special action of the Board be
taken with reference to these.

From the foregoing exhibit it will be seen that the funds of the Institu-
tion have been carefully husbartded, are now in a good oondttion, and that,
though the cost of the building will exceed the first estimate, yet the origi-
nal plan of saving a portion of the accrued interest to increase the capiiai,
will, in due time be carried out.

The Committee are of opinion, that an expenditure of twenty-five thou-
sand doUars may be allowed from the annual income for defraying the ex-
penses of the Institution, and for carrying on the several parts of the pro-
gramme, during the present year, and they will hereafter introduce a
resolution to that effect.

REPORT OF THE TREASURER OF THE INSTITUTION.

Up to the 3d of July, ISoO, the accounts of the Institution, were kept
by the Chairman of the Executive Committee, who also acted as Treasurer.
At that time a new system of accounts was adopted, according to whirh
they were placed under the charge of the Secretary and the- Executive
committee, and I was appointed Treasure)'. Agreeably to this arrangement,
there was deposited to my credit with Corcoran & Ri^gs, for the current
expenditure of the Institution, sums amounting to S4y',S80 73, Of uiien-
pended income of the preceding half year, as detailed -and accounted for in
the accompanying statements.

No. III.
REPORT OF THE BUILDING CaMfflTTEE.

The Building committee, in compliance with their appropriate duty, prr-
gent the followmg report of the operations, expenditures, and progress on
the building, durmg the year 1850.

At the last ses'jion of the Boanl, resolutions were adopted, directing ■
surrey of the whole building, and a report on the manner and faithfulnexs
in which the building contract had been executed, and the best plan for
finishing the remainder of the buililing.

It was found by this examination, that the exterior of the building had
been well constructed, but that in order to reduce the cost, a plan bad been
adopted and materials employed for the interior, not proper for a buildii^
destined to contain property too valuable to be exposed to evea * re-

M [1]

mote donger of fire, and which, e9p«ciall)| so fk' as it shall consist of
donations, will involve tlie implied coiAititm that it shall be Bafeljr
preserved.

In accordance with this result, a resolution was adopted, directing the
interior of the centre building to be constructed in fire-proof, and that the
time of finishing it be extended until the accumulating interest would be
sufficient to meet the additional expense.

According to the decision of the Architect, who, by the terms of the
original contract, is the umpire between the Regents and the contractor, the
latter is entitled to the sura of S* 185,154 for compleling the whole exterior
of the building and the interior of the wings, ranges, and towers. When
this much is finished, the present contract will terminate * though the same
contractor has agretd, should the Regents choose to accept his proposition,
to finish the remainder of the interior in fire-proof, on the terras mentioned
in the annexed report of the Architect.

Agreeably to the estimates of Mr. Reowick, and the proposition of Mr.
Cameron for fire-proofiing, the whole cost of the building when finished,
will be $234,000; but as the preliminary expenditure ior premiums to
architects, and other incidental charges connected with the work are not
included in this estimate, the committee think it will be safer to state the
whole cost at, say in round numbers, 8*300,000.

Since the commencement of the building, there has been expended on the
grounds ^ 3,747 51. The committee, however, are pleased to be able to
inform the Board, that but httle more expenditure on this account will pro-
bably be necessary beyond that which is requisite for the preservation of
the trees and shrubs already planted.

An appropriation has been made by Congress for the general improve-
ment of the public grounds, or, as they are commonly called the Malt. Mr.
Uowning, the well known writer on Rural Architecture, at the request of
the President, is now preparing a plan for converting the whole malt,
including the Smithsonian grounds, into an extended landscape garden, to
be traversed in different directions by gravelled walks and carriage drives,
and planted with specimens, properly latielled, of all the varieties of tree*
an<l shrubs which will flourish in this climate.

In the opinion of the committee, the adoption of a general plan for the
improvement of the public grounds is an object of much importance. A
small appropriation, annually expended with reference to a well digested
plan, would do more in a few years to produce lasting effects, than manT
times the same sum, expended in accordance with the peculiar fancy of each
-succeeding superintendent.

If the plan before mentioned be adopted, (and the committee hope that it
will be,) the Smithsonian lot will form a part of an extended park, of which
the Smithsonian building, by its site and picturesque style of architecture,
will form a prominent and most attractive feature.

For the accommodation of those who attend the lectures, plank wallti
have been put down from the doors of the building to the east and west
extremities of the Smithsonian grounds. Much difficulty is Still found,
however, in getting access to the building during muddy walking ; but in
the opinion of the committee, it belongs to the corporation of the city (rf
Washington or other authority to construct and keep in good condition the
approaches to the building which are beyond the Smithsonian possessions.

A foot bridge across the canal at Tenth street, would greatly i»-

, Gooj^If

crease the fadlity of access to those who reside in the centnl portion of
the citv. The construction of«ucH a bridge has heen proposed to the citv
council, and your committee hope that the objects and operatioDS of this
Institution will commend the proposition to their favorable consideration.

For a minute statement of the progress made in the building, and other
details connected with the subjects noticed in the foregoing remarks, th«
cpmmittee refer to the report of the architect hereto appended.
Respectfully submitted,

Washington, January 7, 1851.
To the Honorable the Building Committee of the Smtths(mian Institution :

Gentlemen : By a resolution of the Honorable the Board of Regents,
passed July 3, 1830, it was determined to change the plan originally
adopted for the finish of the interior of the central building, which con-
sisted of wooden columns and girders, and to substitute in its place a plan
of fire-proofing.

In accordance with the above resolution, the undersigned prepared and
submitted to the honorable the committee charged with the examination ol
the building, four different plans for fire-proofing, and the one preferred by
him was adopted.

This plan may be described as follows ; The foundation wilt consist of a
series of stone piers, connected by a system of inverted arches of briclc,
resting on base courses of long stone and laid in cement mortar ; the in-
verted arches are arranged in such manner as to insure an equal pressure in
all parts of the foundation, and thus to counteract, as far as possible, any
unequal settlement of the earth upon which the building rests. The first
story of the building containing the library, &c., will he constructed with
piers and groined arches of brick, laid in cement mortar ; and the second
Etory containing the museum, will be finished with cast iron columns and
girders and a groined ceiling furred with wrought iron. The whole interior
will be plastered on the above described brick and iron work, in the same
manner as was specified in the original contract, so as to complete the
' building in harmony with the original design.

Though this change in construction will add to the expense of the build-
ing, it is believed that the additional cost will be repaid by the permanence
of the fire-proofing and the perfeet security it will alTord to the valuable
collections which may hereafter he placed m this portion of the building.

The above determination of the honorable the Board of Regents, bIm
rendered it necessary that only such portions of the work embraced in the
original contract for the buililing as would harmonize and become an inte-
gral part of the fire-proofing, should be constructed by the present contractor
and that the expense of the portions not necessary to effect this change
should be deducted from the original contract price.

It therefore became necessary to determine acciirntely the exact amount
to be paid to the contractor under the above alteration in plan, and the un-
dersigned, by the direction of the honorable the Buildbg committee, made

.Goo^^Ic

6B [1]

a pro rata estimate of dl the work embraced in the original contract, wbidi
estimate was based upon the oiiginal contrSct price.

From this estimate an exact decision was then made of the amount to be
paid to the present contractor for the work, which he would be required to
finish in conformity with the plan of fire-proofing, which was found to be
$185,154, The following is an estimate of the cost of completing the whole
building and its accessories, on the amended plan :
Amount to be paid G. Cameron, for completing portions of
building embraced in original contract, and necessary in

amended plan. --- - $185,154 00

Expense of fire-proofing central building, estimated at -44,000' 00

Grounds, 4,000 00

Additional Furniture, 4,000 00

274,614 63
Add for contingencies, 9,385 37

Making the total amount of- - $284,000 00 j

It is the belief of the undersigned, that the above amount of $284,000
will, with proper economy, be sufficient to defray the expense of completing
the building, and that when thus finished, it will, for cheapness and dura-
bility be unsurpassed by any building with which I am acquainted.

By a resolution, passed at the same time as the one directing the above
alteration in plan, the honorable the Board of Regents also decided at the
su^^tion of the Hon. Jefferson Davis, " that the exterior of the building,
" and the interior of the towers be completed in accordance with the plan,
" and within the time specified in the contract."

To carry out this decision, the operations on the building, during the
last year, have principally been directed to the completion of the extenor erf
the building and towers.

It was the hope of the undersigned, that the towers would have been
finished and roofed in before the winter.

This expectation, has, however, not been realized, owing to the delay
occasioned by the repairs in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, which was not
navigable for a period of nearly four months.

The contractor was therefore unable to convey his stone from the quarry,
and very little work was done on the building during the months most
favorable for workine.

The present condition of the building is as follows : The eastern and
western wings are completed with the exception of some small items wlii(^
will be left unfinished until a few weeks before the completion of the pre-
sent contract.

Mia--5. ' DotzetibyGoOgle

[1] , 6«

The central is roofed in and slated, and enclosed in such manner -as to be
perfectly protected from the weather.

The principal front tover is carried up to a height of one hundred and
twenty-two feet, and covered in temporarily for the winter.

The stone and mason work of the lower central front tover is completed,
and the roof is on and slated.

The campanile and north east comer towers are roofed in.

The central south tower is carried up to a height of forty feet.

The south east and south west oorner towers are carried up to the height
<^ the cornice of the cell of t^ main building.

The contnictor states, that all the stones necessary for the completion of
the building are quarried. The greater portion of them are delivered at
the bnilding, and mil be «vit during the present winter.

During the last year portions oi the roads around the building have been
graded and many trees and shfubs have be^i set out on the rounds.

It is a source of satisfactioa to the undersigned that tne walls of the
building have not as yet, shown any signs of settlement. When the various
heights of tiie wall and towers, ranging from twenty-six to one hundred
and twenty-two feet are considered, this circumstance affords a satisfactory
proof that the prindples adopted in the construction of the building are
correct, and that the care taken in calculating the weights and pressure (^
the different walls has not been uselessly expended, and that the construc-
tion of these most important parts of the building has been well performed.

The following is a statement of the amount expended in the building up
to the 3Ut ef Deoembw, 1850 :
Amount expended on building up to December 1, 1847, was as

Hawley, Hilliard, Lenox, Mason, Pearce, Rush, Totten, and Mr. Seaton,

Treasurer of the Institution.

The Chancellor, on taking the Chair, exffKssed his thanks for ths honor
conferred on bim by his election ; his regret that on account of the meetings
of the Supreme Court, he had not previously been'able to attend the sea-
sons of the Board, though he hoped in future to be able to do so; also the
interest he felt in the Institution, and his gratification with reference to its
present condition.

The OTOceedings of the last meeting were then read.

The Building Committee presented their Annual Report, including a
report from the Architect. It was on motion accepted, and ordered to
form a part of the Regents' report to Conmvss.

In connection with the report of the Building committee, Mr. Lenox
made a statement relative to a proposition for the erection of a foot bridge
over the canal at Ninth or Tenth street, at the expense of the corpora-
tion of the City of Washington, for facilitating the approach to the Insti-
tution. He also stated that Mr. EUet, the Engmeer) had offered to
superintend, free of charge, the erection of a wire bndge at the place men-
tioned, and expressed his belief that a bridge could be constructed during
the present year.

Mr. Seaton the Treasurer, presented a report of the monies placed to his
credit on account of the Institution, and the manner in which they bad
been expended. At the request of Mr. Seaton, and on motion of Mr. Davis,
the report was referred to the Executive Committee for.examination.

The reading of the Secretary's report was then proceeded with, including
a statement relative to the Foreign distribution of the first volume of Smith-
sonian Contributions, and the method of keeping the account of the ex-
changes with foreign societies, also an account of the progress made in the
operations relative to Meteorology.

Specimens of the Barometers, Thermometers, Rain guages and Wii>d
vanes prepared for the Smithsonian observers, were exhibited to the Board.

The Board, on motion, then adjourned to meet on Saturday next, 18th
instant, at 10 o'clock A. M.

Saturdat, Janitary 18, 1851.

The Board of Reg^t met this day at 10 o'clock, A. M.

Present : Messrs.^ache, Colcock, Davis, Hilliard, Pearce, and Rush.
The Chancellor being absent, Mr. Pearce was called to the CWr.

The proceedings trf the last meeting were read.

Mr. Bache, on behalf of the Executive Committee, presented a detailed
statement of all the expenditures from the beginning of the Institution to
the end of the year 1850, classified according to the prt^amme of accounts
before given.

The Secretary stated, that in obedience to the instructions contained in
the resolutions of the Board adopted June 1, 1850, the following petition
relative to funding $150,000 of accrued interest had been drawn up for
presentation to Congress ; but owing to the press of business of last session,
and by the advice of the members of the Board belonging to the Senate and
House of Representatives, it had not been presented up to the present time.

Mr. Davis suggested that the petition be amended by inserting tbe words

.vGooglf

68 [I]

" makbg iii all a {Mincapal iiind of 9^15,000," at the close of the fourth
paragraph which was agreed to.

Amended, the petition reads as follows :

To the Honorable, the Senate and Houxe of Representatives, in Congress
assembled :

Gentlemen : The Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution have
directed me to transmit to your honorable body, the resolutions appended
to this letter, and to solicit the passing of a law, in accordance therewith.

It is known to your honorable body, that the original sum received into
the United States Treasury from the Smithsonian bequest, was a little more
than $dl5,000, and that at the time of the passage of the act incorporating
the Institution, $242,000 had accrued in interest, which sum or so much
of it as might be deemed necessary, the Regents were authorized to appro-
priate to a building. It is also known to your honorable body, that the act
of incorporation directed that provision should be made for the establish-
ment of a Library and Museum, together with the erection of a building on
a liberal scale to contain them.

While the Regents in their plan of organization obeyed these instructions,
they also by virtue of the power invested in them, and in conformity with
the terms of the bequest, adopted additional pldns for the more immediate
promotion of the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men, by means
of Researches, Publications, Lectures, &c.

In order however, to carry out the several parts of this more extended plan,
it was found absolutely necessary that the annual income of the Institution
should be increased. To accomplish this, it was resolved, instead of ex-
pending at once the $242,000 on a building, carefiilly to husband the same
and to erect the building in the course of several years, in part out of the
proceeds of the sum before mentioned, and in part out of such portions of
the income of the original fund as could be spared from the ordinary opera-
tions of the Institution. This scheme has been effectually carried out, and
the Regents now ask to be allowed to place in the Treasury of the United
States along side of the original bequest, and upon the same terms, never to
be expended, the sum of ¥150,000 of accrued mterest, and to be allowed to
add to this from time to time, such other sums as may come into their
possession by donation or otherwise, until it, with the sums thus added shall
amount to ^00,000, making in all a principal fund of a little more than
«715,000.

After this depont of S1S0,000, the Regents will still have sufGdent money
on hand to finish the whole exterior of the building, and such portions of
the interior in addition to those now completed, as may be wanted fot-
several years to come, they then propose gradually to finish the remainder
in such portions as may be wanted out of the annual accruing interest.

The sole object of the request is the permanent investment and perpetual
security of the accumulated fund, and when your honorable body is assured
that the organization and operation of the Institution have received the ap-
probation of the wise and good, not only in this country, but in every part
of the world where literature and science are cultivated, the undersigned
trusts that the request will be granted.

And your petitioner will ever pray, &c.

Signed JOSEPH HENRY, Secretary

Of tht Smithsonian Institution.

BEBOLimOlIS OF THE BOARD OT REGENTS

Of the Smithsonian Institution, adopted at their meeting of Juae 1, 1850,
ontl appended to the foregoing petition.

Resolved, That it is expedient to enlarge the permanent fund of the Insti-
tution, by the investment of such sums not exceeding 9300,000 as may
have been, or shall be received for accrued interest or otherwise, in addition
to the principal sum of the Smithsonian bequest, augmenting the principal
sum to that amount, and that application be made to Congress to receive
such sums not exceeding $200,000 as may have been or snail be received
for accrued interest or otherwise into the United States Treasury upon the
same terms on which the original bequest has been received.

Resolved, That the Secretary be requested to communicate a copy of
this resolution to Congress, and to request that provision be made by law
in accordance therewith.

The Secretary also brought before the Board, the subject of the remain-
der of the Smithsonian bequest, left as the principal of an annuity payable
to Madame de la Batut, mother of the nephew of James Smithson.

Mr. Rush gave an account of this annmty and stated that he had left the
business in the hands of attornies, to whom he had written in 1846. A copy
of this correspondence was read, and Mr. Rush was requested to commu-
nicate with the above mentioned persons relative to this buuness.

The reading of the Secretary's report was then continued, including
Professor Jewett's report on the Library, illustrated by specimens of a new
plan of stereotyping catalogues of libraries by separate titles.

On motion the Board adjourned to meet on Saturday 35th instant at 10
o'clock A. M.

Saturday, Janoary25, 1851.

The Board ot Regents met this day at 10 o'clock A. M.

Present : Messrs. Davis, Fitch, Lenox, Mason, Pearce, and Taney.

The Chancellor occupied the Chair.

The proceedings of the last meeting were read.

The reading of the Secretary's report was then continued, including the
report of Professor Baird on the Museum.
On motion of Mr. Davis, it was

Resolved, That the thanks of the Board be presented to Mr. Alesander
Culbertson for the libera] aid rendered by him in procuring specimens of
Natural History for the Institution ; also, to Messrs. Edward T. Denig,
Ferdinand Culbertson, and the other gentlemen of the American Fur com-
pany mentioned in Professor Baird's report for similar services.

The concluding portion of the Secretary's report was then read, giving
on account of the Lectures which had been delivered, and other miscellane-
ous operations. The Secretary then gave an account of some experiments
made with the Smithsonian apparatus by Mr. Espy during the past year,
and the connection which has existed between this gentleman and the In-
stitution. An appropriation has been made for several years past by Con-
gress for Meteorology, out of which Mr. Espy has been paid. The
appropriation was under the direction of the Secretary of the Navy who,
in 1848, directed Mr. Espy to co-operate in bis labors with the Smithso-
nian Institution.

Mr. Lenox presented a communication from Mr.' Seaton recommending

, Go(>^Ic

71 [1]

the plfuung of a bell in one of the towera of the SmithaoBiaa building aad
stating that a very valuable town clock could probably be obtained from
the T^asury Department.

On motion of Mr. Fitch, it was

Resolved, That Mr. Lenox be appointed a committee to inquire into and
report upon this proposition.

The Board then adjourned to meet again at the call of the Secretary.

Thdrsday, Febsdabt 37, 1851.

, The Board of Regenta met this evening at 6 o'clock in the ante-room of
the Senate Chamber.

Present : Messrs. Bache, Colcock, Davis, Fitch, Lenox, Mason, Pearce
aod Totten.

In the absence of the Chancellor, Mr. Pearce was called to the Chair.
The proceedings of the last meeting were read.
'I Mr. Bache, from the Executive Committee, offered the following reso-

I lution which was adopted :

Resolved, That during the year 1851, the sum of twenty-five thousand
dollars be and is hereby appropriated to he expended under the direction of
the Secretary, and with the advice of the Executive Committee for the
t expenses of the Institution, and to carry out the several parts of the pro-
gramme of oi^anization.

On motion of Mr. Mason, it was
Resolved, That the report of the Secretary and of the Executive Com-
mittee be adopted and form parts of the report of the Regents to Congress.
I On motion of Mr. Colcock, it was

Resolved, That the Chancellor and Secretary be authorized to make the
annual report of the Regents to Congress.

A bill was presented to the Board from W. Fischer for stationery pur^
chased in 1847 and 1848, on account of the Executive and Building com-
nuttee, prior to the present system of keeping accounts.

On motion of Mr. Fitch, it was referred to the Executive Committee for
examination and if found correct, for payment.

The Secretary called attention to the statement in the report of the
Executive Committee, that in the examination and re-arrangeoient of the
accounts of the Institution, there had been found a few cases m which pay-
ment had been made in accordance with the spirit of the resolutions of the
Board, but which could be referred to no special appropriation.
On motion of Mr. Fitch, it was
Resolved, That these accounts be referred to the Executive Committee
for examination, and if deemed correct, for approval.

The Secretary informed the Board that it was neceSsary to publish a
new edition of uie programme of oi^;anizatioD and suggested the propriety
of making a few verbal alterations in the text, and in the sentence begin-
ning as follows :

" Rewards [connstiiig of money, medals, &c., offered for original me-
mohs."]
Of striking out the words included in brackets, which was agreed to.

On motion of Mr. Mason, it wag
Resolved, That the Secretary be authorized to employ an accountant at
an annual salary of two hundred dollars, and to assign his duties, and that

.Gooj^Ic

[ 1 ] 72

there be paid to Wm. B. Randolph, two hundred dollars for the arrange-
ment of the accounts to date as reported.
On motion of Mr. Bache, it waa

Resolved, That the Secretary be authorized to appoint an agent abroad
to conduct the exchanges of the Institution, with a salary not to exceed
dne hundred and fifty dollars per annum.

Mr, Davis submitted the following resolution, which was adopted :

Resolved, That the Executive Committee be requested to inquire into
the expediency of providing buildings for the residences of the officers of
the Institution on ttie Smithsonian grounds, or other convenient location, if
they deem expedient to report plans and estimates for such buildings to the
Board at their next meeting.

Mr Lenox, to whom was referred the subject of procuring a clock and
bell for the Institution, reported that the use of a clock could be obtained
free of expense to the Institution, provided a bell of a large size could be
arranged in connection with it, in one of the towers of the Smithsonian
building ; also, that he thought it probable that the corporation of the
city of Washington would defray one half of the cost of such a bell, pro-
vided that the Institution would pay the other.

Mr. Mason then offered the following resolution, which was agreed to.

Resolved, That the Secretary be authorized to purchase a bell, to be
placed in one of the towers of the building to be attached to a clock, pro-
vided that the purchase be made in association with the authorities of the
city of Washington, and that the size and tone of the bell be approved of
by the Executive Committee and the said authorities, the sum to be paid
on the part of this Institution, not to exceed five hundred dollars.

The plan of Mr. Downing for the improvement of the public mall, in-
cluding the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution was exhibited to the
Board.

On motion, the Board then adjourned sine die.

marked, however, an exchange is shortly expected, while from others,
such as Libraries, which publish no transactions, nothing can be looked
for. Even here, however, duplicate volumes, as has already hafmened in
several instances, will occasionally be transmitted. Many of the Universi-
ties on the ctmtineDt have forwarded the theses of their graduates, and
other miscellanea. It must also be observed, that the period at which it
was found possible conveniently to transmit volume I. of Smithsonian
Contributions to France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, has been so recent as
to render the reception of any returns up to the present date impossible.

It may be proper to add, that suitable occasions of forwarding to some
of the above mentioned societies, have not yet occurred, althougti shortly
expected. This is the case in r^;ard to some of the Asiatic societies, the
Egyptian society of Grand Cairo, and those of the West Indies and Sooth
America.

APPENDIX No n.

New York, December S, 1830.

Mt Deak Sm : The Ebip " Brewster" has just aiEived iroia the Pacific,
brineing six moaumeiDts in addition to those which I shipped via. San Juan
de Nicaragua, for the Institution, and which I have directed to be inune-
diately forwarded to Washington. I shall avail myself of the opportunity
afforded by my proposed visit to the Ca^tal in January next, to number
and catalogue both these and the other Central American relics which I
have alreaay sent. In the meantime, I am unable to refer to the indi-
vidual figures and objects in an intelligible maimer. I may neLverthelesg
observe that the finer specimens of Aboriginal Art, which I discovered in
Nicaragua, were of too large size to be removed under present circum-
stances. Should the steamers which have been sent out succeed in ascend-
ing the San Juan, and entering lake Nicaragua, some of the monuments
which exist on the islands in that lake, might be obtained without much
difficult]!, and would constitute very intere^ing and important features in
the proposed Smithsonian collection of American antiquities. Two of the
statues which I have sent to the Institution, one from the island of Zapa-
tero, in lake Nicaragua, where once existed one of the most imposing
aboriginal temples of the country. Here, amongst the ruins of the teocaiH
or high places of the former inhabitants, I found fifteen entire statues, be-
sides the fragments of many others ; several broken sacrificial stones, &c.
I was unable to remove but two of the smallest and rudest, but I have ac-
curate drawings of all. The largest statue amongst those which I have
sent you, and which is carved in black basalt, was obtained from the
island of Momotombita, in lake Managua, where there seems also to have
been a temple or sacred place. The figure with the sphynz like head dres
is also fi'om the same locality, whence a great number of sculptures have
been taken at various times, and planted at the comers of the streets in the
towns, or sent abroad. Within the recollection of persons now living,
there were some twenty or tUr^ of these figures existing at one place on
the island, arranged in the form of a square, the faces looking inward.
One or two of the other statues were dug up for me by the Indians of the
Pueblo of Subtiaba near Leon, having been buried for a great number of
years, and the locality carefully concealed. They are somewhat mutilated,
showing in their broken features, the zeal of the priests who followed in tbe
annies of Oil Gonzalez de Avila and Cordova. A small group of these
monuments exists in the depths of tbe forest midway between I^eon and
the Pacific, which is still secretly visited by the Indians, for the perform-
ance of dances and other rites pertaining to their primitive religion.

These monuments, but particularly those which exist in and around lake
Nicaragua, and which, as works of art, are superior to those found else-
where, are of high value in an archaeological point of view, because they
Aimish conclusive collateral evidence of the truth of tbe statement of
Oviedo, (who visited Nicaragua in 1529,) that a large part of the inhabit
tants of the country were Mexicans, i, e. of the same stock with the
Aztecs and the other nations inhabiting the valley of Anahuac. I was

.Goo^^Ic

79 [I]

able at tbe fint glance, to recognize in some of these statues, the re-
{N-eflentations of sereral of the gods of the Mexican Puntheon. Among
these was Tlolocthe, Qod of Rain, and the second of the Axttc Tria(^
corresponding in lus essential attributes with Vishun of the Hindu
Mythology.

The small figure resembling some animal couchaTit was, ontil very
recently, preserved on a remarkable rock on the side of the volcano of
Omatepec, and regarded with high veneration by the Indians. It was only
after many years of search that tne priests were able to iind and remove it.
The granitic vase, distinguished by the ornaments, called grecques by
Humboldt, (and which characterize the ruins at Mitla in Mexico,) was dug
up near the city of Nicaragua. The spot had been a cemetery of the
ancient inhabitants. Another relic of the same material, and with a
like style of ornament, accompanies the vase, and was found in the same
neighborhood. It seems to have been designed as a pedestal for a small
statue.

I have several of the funereal vases of the ancient inhabitants, in which
the bones and ashes of the dead were packed after the decomposition of
the flesh or after burning. It is a singular fact that all these vases were
modelled after the human skull. I wilt send these as soon as the drawin^^
of them are finished.

I may mention that the largest and most elaborate monuments which
fell under my notice in Nicaragua, exist in the little island of Pensacola,
near the base of the extinct volcano of Momobacho. They weigh a num-
ber of tons each, and are distinguished as being wrought from blocks of
sand stone, a' material which is not found on the island, nor, so far as I
could learn, within many miles of it, on the main land.

I shall be happy to contribute whatever monuments of the past, or relics
of aboriginal art which I possess, or may hereafter collect, towards forming
a National Archaeological Museum, under the single stipulation that they
shall have a specific place assigned them in the Institution, and tlrat my
classification when finally made, shall not be disturbed. You know that
I have long cherished the plan of forming a grand collection, which should
illustrate the arts of the aooriginies of every part of the continent, but
more particularly of our own country. Small and detached collections,
such as individuEus may be able to form, can serve no good purpose in the
way of comparison and mutual illustration, and are always liable to be
destroyed by accident, or dispersed, and, piece by piece, irretrievably lost,
and I am sure, when it comes to be known that a place has been set apart
for these things in the Smithsonian Institution, most persons possessing
collections would not hesitate to surrender them to augment the central
stock. And if our public agents in foreign countries, our army and naval
officers in frontier or foreign service, and our traders generally residing
abroad, were properly informed that a collection of this kind was going on,
and that the necessary cost of procuring and transmitting monuments or
relics of interest would be reimDursed tnem ; if this were done^ I feel sure
that an American Archaeological Museum, worthy of our age and country,
would soon grow up. It is a fact not at all creditable to us, that we have
no public c^lection of this kind worthy to be mentioned, in the United
States, while some of the museums of Europe are really rich in relics of
aboriginal American art. M. de Longperier, conservateur des Antimiites
of the Louvre, has recently published a catalogue of American antiquities.

[ 1 ] 80

contained in that museum, extending over one Aundred and thirty octavo
pages, and relating to nearly a thousand specimens, some of them of great
interest and value. The fact carries its own application with it. CraTing
your indulgence for this rambling letter,

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS UPOK THE GENERAL

CATALOGUE.

The undersigned were requested in the month of August last, by a letter
from Professor Henry, written on behalf of the Executive Comniittee of
the Smithsonian Institution, to take into consideration the subject of a Ge-
neral Catalogue of the public libraries of the United Slates, proposed to be
formed under the auspices of the said Institution, and more especially the
plan proposed by Professor Jewett, Librarian of the Institution, for accom-
plishing that object.

Having consented to act as Com miss loners for the above named purpose,
the subscribers had several interviews with Professor Jewett, in the months
of September and October, at which he submitted to tbem
1. A plan for stereotyping catalogues of libraries by separate movabls

titles of the books contained in them, and
3. A set of general rules to be recommended for adoption by the difierent

(lubiic libraries in the United States, in the preparation of their cata-
ogues.

Professor Jewett's plan for stereotyping tides on separate plates is un-
folded at considerable length, in a paper read by him, in the month of
August last, at the aimua] meeting of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, held at New Haven. This paper was published
in the Boston Traveller for the 26th of September. It is herewith sub-
joined, and the imdersigned request that it may be considered as a part
of their report.'

For a full view of 'the advantages, both economical and literary, anti-
cipated from the adoption of Professor Jewett's plan, the undersigned
would refer to the valuable and interesting paper just named. They will
allude briefly to a portion of these advantages.

The most important of them, perhaps, will be the economy of time,
labor, and expense, required for the preparation of a new edition of a cata-
logue, to include the books added since a former edition was published.
On Professor Jewett's plan, when the catalogue of a library is published,
it will be necessary to strike off only so many copies, as are needed for
present use. When the additions to the library have become so conside-
rable a» to make another edition of the cataiogiii£ desirable, or in lieu
thereof, a supplementary catalogue, (always an unsatisfactory and embar-
rassing appendage,) the new titles only will be stereotyped and yiserted in
their pro^r places among the former titles, all the titles being on mo-
vable plates. The pages of the new edition will thus be made up with
convenience, and every book in ihe library will stand in its proper place
in the catalogue. This process will be repeated as often as the- growth of
the library may make it necessary.

In this way, not only will the plates used in a former edition, be availa-
ble for each subsequent edition, but when tbe plan is fairly and extensively
in operation, most of tbe titles of books added to any given library of

whose catalc^e a new edition is reauired, will, in the meantime, have been
cast for some other catalc^e, and tnus occasion no new charge for any
subsequent use, as far as the expense of casting the plates is conceme<L
The infant state and the prospective rapid increase of the public libraries
in the United Stales, as well as the frequent founding of new libraries, give
great interest to this feature of the plan.

Another advantage of the proposed plan would be of the following na-
ture: The libraries in any country i (to some extent, indeed in all coun-
, tries,) consist partly of the satne books. Professor Jewett states, that in
the catalogues of the public libraries of the United States, possessed by
the Smithsonian Institution, there are embraced at least four hundred anil
fifty thousand titles. He estimates, however, af^er a laborious comparison,
that among these there will not be found more than one hundred and fifty
thousand different titles. It follows, that, if the plan proposed had been
applied to the publication of these catalogues, two thirds of the expense
of printing them, as far as the cost of plates is concerned, would have
been saved by incurring the extra expense of stereotyping the remaining
third according to this plan. The economy to each particular library, in
the expense of plates for its catalogue, will be m proportion to the number
of hooks which it may contain in common with any other iibairy, whose
catalogue has been already stereotyped on this plan. The title of the
same book, in the same edition, will of course be cast hut once, and will
thenceforward serve for the catalogue of every library possessing that
hook, which may enter into the arrangement.

A third advantage resulting from this plan will be the facility with
which a classed catalogue, either of a whole library or any department of
it, might be furnished at short notice, without the expense of writing out
the titles or of casting new plates, hut by the simple indication of the se-
lected titles, in the margin of a printed alphabetical catalogue.
- Finally, the plan of necessity, requires, that the titles of the books in the
libraries, included in the arrangement, should he given on uniform princi-
pies and according to fixed rules; an object of no small importance to
those who consult them.

These and other incidental advantages, which would result from tho
adoption of his plan of separate stereotype plates for the titles of books in
public libraries, are pointed out by Professor Jewett in the memoir above
referred to, and the undersigned are of opinion that he has not overrated
their importance. In proportion as the plan is concurred in by the public
institutions and individuals possessing valuable collections of books, the
preparation of a generajl catalogue of alt the libraries in the country be-
comes practicable, accompanied by references from which it would appear
in what hbrary or libraries any particular book is contained.

The undersigned became satisfied, in the course of their conferences
with Professor Jewett, that the plan in all its parts is practicable. In con-
nection with the explanation of its mechanical execution, specimens of
stereotype plates of separate titles, made up into pages, were submitted to
tliem in common type metal, in electrotype, and in a newly invented com-
position, the use of which, it is thought by its inventor, would be at-
tended with great economy in the cost of plates. The undersigned ex-
amined these specimens with much gratification and interest, but they did
not feel themselves competent from their limited opportunities of enquiryj
Bor did they regard it as falling within thor province, to fonu -an ojniiQa

on the comparative merits of these processes. The; feel satisfied that bo
important mechanical difficulty is to be apprehended in carrying the plan
ioto full effect.

A tnajoritj of the undersigned devoted themselves for several successive
meetings to the careful consideration of the set of rules submitted to them
by Professor Jewett, for the uniform preparation of the titles of books.
I^is is a subject which has of late received much attention from biblio-
graphers, and is of great importance 'in the formation of the catalogues of
public libraries. Professor Jewett's rules combine the results of the ex-
perience of those who have given their attention to the subject in tlie prin-
cipal libraries of Europe, especially of the British Museum, together with
the fruits of his own experience and study. These rules appeared to the
unders^ned to be drawn up.with judgment and care. A few amendments
were recommended by the undersigned, and a few additions proposed, but
they are prepared to signify their approval of the system suostantially aa
submitted to them. It is contained, as amended by the undersigned, in
conference with Professor Jewett, in the paper marked B," which they beg
leave also to make a part of their report.

In order that a beginning may be made in the execution of the plan,
under circumstances highly favorable to its success, the underwgned take
the liberty of suggesting, uiat it would be advisable for the Regents of the
Smithsonian Institution to obtain the requisite authority to prepare a
catalogue of the library of Congress on the above described plan. A cata-
logue of this library is now very much wanted. Originally constructed on
a defective plan, and continued by the publication of a large number of
supplements, it is now almost useless ; and as the library increases, it be-
comes daily more so. The preparation of an alpbabetieal catalogue haa
in this way become a matter of absolute necessity for the library itself;
while it affords the best opportunity for commencing an arrangement by
which the various libraries of the country will be brought into a mutually
beneBcial connexion with each other, on the plan proposed by Professcr
Jewett.

The undersigned contdder the permanent superintendence of this plan to
he an object entirely within the province of the Smithsonian Institution.
They are satisfied that it will tend both to the increase and the diffusion
of knowledge, and they therefore hope that the sanction of the Regents
and of Congress will be given to the undertaking.

Saturday, ^pril 27, 11 ^. M. — Yesterday was an exceedingly unplea>
lant day; we found a violent north wind blowing in the morning, nevertMes.
as soon as breakfast was ■ over, we were off on the cheerless prairie. We
WW but little wood ; the road was hilly ftnd ponds frequent. About ten
'o'clock, we crossed a small streahl that gave us some trouble on accoun:
of the detp mud ; but- cold M the- day was, the Indians waded- throusii
without hedtation. About twelve o'clock we came to a place where tV
land was cut up into steep hills and deep tkVines, the latter containing a
■ little scrubby timber. At" one o'clock we reached the s{K)t where the'Ia-
dians had confidently expected to meet their chief, Old Eagle, who bad
been there hunting buffalo, but he was not to be found. The Indians ap-
■ peared muph disappointed and looked very sad. "They had left a good
place for hunting buffalo, and had come here where there were apparently
Bone.

There was every appearance 6( a violent snow-^onn, bdt bad as our
situation was^ we were thankful that it was do worse ; had these indica-
tions overtaken us the night before, when there was not a stick of wood
within miles, we'might well have been filled with apprehension, but here
we had wood, water and grass, and were encamped in a ravine, well shel-
tered frOm the storm. About eight o'clock we retired to our beds in the
waggon, anticipating a cheerless day of inactivity on the morrow. We
were, however, agreeably disappointed, and at about four o'clock, I was
awakened by the bustle of preparation for departure.

We started at half-past five o'clock, and soon crossed Choutaio creek,
the small stream on which we had encamped. Our course during the day,
after we left the creek, was over level prairie, with no timber in sight or
water to be found, though buffalo were abundant. I forgot to mentirai
that just as we were leaving the river A'Jacques, a very lai^ wolf, of
pure white color, a beautiful animal, came walking leisurely towards u.
A. shot at it, but missed, when it scaupsred off.

Sunday, ^pril 28. — Yesterday, after dinner, we traveled about fiTe'
bcAini, and' then encamped on the shore of Lalie Andy, a long and vide
sheet of water about ten miles from the Missouri, and sbout sixty from the'
A*Jacques. Our road was over a fine prairie land, exhibiting more grass t^in
we had previously seen. During the day I procured two specimens of a tmaU
plant which I had not observed before ; also three specimens of animals,
viz., a prarie squirrel, a pfairie dog, and a dried salamander, which^wms
foUnd on the shore of the lake. The prairie dog was shot by Alexander
at the first dog villag* that we met with. Two others were abo fired at, ■
but they escaped. Their motions are so quick, that even when wouaded,
they can scarcely be caught.

In the morning we started before five o'clock, and had a beautitul and
pleasant day, with the exception of a strong head wind. The road at first
was very hilly, but became less so as we advanced. No timber was sees
except where we encamped there were some thorn bushes and a few small
trees. Even this scanty vegitatiOD supplied U8 with better fiiel thtm the
buffalo dung which we wereobliged to use for our fire yesterday. In the
morning we found the ravines filled and the distant hills covered witii
snow.

Tuesday, April 30. — This morning we were at our camp on the Ameri-
can Fork. On Sunday about sunset, we reached a good encamping ground
on'a small stream called Cow creek. The approadi to this is over steep, '
irregularhills, covered with stones. Its margins are better timbered than
those of any stream we have seen for several days. During the night we
were awakened by the noise of the wind and the beating of the snow
against the carriage. We expected to see the ground covered with snow *
in' the morning, but were agreeably surprised to find this was not the case,
and that the sun was shining in an almost cloudless sky. We started at
half-past four, and traveled over a gentle rolling prairie without woodj bat *
abounding in depressions filled with water, bat which were probably dry
in summer. At aboat half-past nine o'clock we reached the Bute Kjoux,-
which we had previously seen from i&t off covered with snow. » is a
clump of hills rising very irregularly Out of the prairie, and consisting, of
rocl^s, which have the appearance at a distance, of light-colored ' lime*
stone. •

At this place where we found wood, water and grass, we rested two .
hours, and then started for the American Fork. It was not without consi-
derable hesitation that we determined to go on. The distance was eighteen
miles ; our horses had no provender except dry prairie grass, and wr«
much weakened by cold and the long journey; we were, however, so
anxious to get through, that we resolved to press on. Our route lay
across a wide prairie, covered with burnt grass, without wood for many
miles. Though the weather was warm when we started, it soon codi-
menced blowmg violently f>bm the north, and in a lew hours became
intensely cold. . .

About four o'clock, we discovered at a distance a company of Indians,
and we were soon observed by them, though they at first mistook ua for >
herd of buffalo. Two scouts soon reached us in fiill gallop) and we ac-
companied them to tbeir encampment, which consisted of several lodges.
At our arrival, men, Women, children, dogs and horses, all cams dutto-
iookat us.

We still continued our march ; but at length night came on, and we
found it would be too fatieutng to attempt to reach the Forks, and we
therefore encamped under the shelter of a small hill, near a pond. No
wood was to be procured, and the men were obliged to scour the country
for buffalo dung, which, when it was found, would not bum, and we were
obliged to break up two boxes for cooking our supper. Our camp was
uncomfortable ; and much fatigued, I retired early to the waggon, where
I slept warmly and soundly until about half-past four, when we were up
and off. We were still about twelve miles from the trading-post beloogiiig
to Fort Pierre.

Wednesday, May 1. — When I made my entry yesterday, it was with the
pleasing anticipation of spending the night at the Yaitktown Trading House ;
but travellers must not calculate too certainly on everything turning out as
they desire. The previous part of our journey might have taught us this,
and if it did not, the present lesson has unpressed it on my mind. We had
a fine day, a beautiful road over rolling prairie, and everything seemed to
&Tor us. Though we were fatigued by our previous journey, we rejoiced
in the prospect of comfortable quarters. We soon reached the stream,
called I believe. Crow creek, but to our great disappointment, instead of a
sidall rivulet easily crossed, we found a lame volume of water far over its
banks, rolling along with great velocity. We were here obliged to encamp
and wait for the construction of a skin-boat with which to cross over.

As we approached Crow creek, the position of the stream was indicated
by steep hills, some of which indicated volcanic action, I picked up a stone
which appeared as if it had been melted, and the hills were covered with
such. After passing these hills, our eyes were delighted with a most pic-
turesque scenes At the foot of thei hill, on the opposite side of the river,
w^re pitched about two hundred Indian lodges, exhibiting all the irregu-
larity and rude appurtenances which belong to a scene In the wilderness.
All that was wanting to render the picture complete, was the green dress
o^ summer for the ground and the trees.

While we were waiting for the completion of the boat, a number of
Indians swam across the river, cold as it was, and something had to be
cooked for them. Fortunately they were content with plain fare, which
was eaten in as plain a style.

-It was ver^ amusing to see the strange mixture of civilized and savage
coatume exhibited in the dress of some of them ; one fellow particularly
struck my attention — he had met us on the hill with a friendly shake
of the hand and "how do," "how do." All his garments consisted of a
short shirt and a waistcoat with the usual Indian clout ; his nether limbs
wore the clothes that nature had made for them — he was Ml of talk,
and very officious, and when the mush was given out, he always assisted
the helper by eating out of the pdt between times. During the afternoon .
many more young Indians swam across the cold rapid stream, and re-
mained all day with scarcely any clothing on them. They were all
asxious for horses, and two of them had the traders' receipt for thyly robes.
They of course must be supplied, and soon one of them was capering
around us on a fine bay horse, which he had selected. The horse dealing waa
caitied much after the same fashion as in the States ; ell by-sUiiders had a
great deal to say and there appeared to be much good humor on all sides.

During the aiumoon the men from the post had becn,at worie on the

87 [11

boat '— and we expected to get to the bouses that night, bat when the boat
was completed it was a proof of the old adage — the more haste, the lesff
speed — the boat would not answer the purpose. We therefore contented
ourselves to again spend another night in our sleeping room, the wagon.
Many of the Indians stayed all night ; and as I watched their counte-
nances around the Ore, I was struck with the fact, that the circle of faces
presented the same variety as to expression, intelligence, Stc., as would be
exhibited by an equal number of civilized men — in none did I notice the
expression of ferocity. One-young man in particular, attracted my notice ;
he bad a very intellectual expression and stood by himself with the marks'
of deep thought on his countenance — his appearance interested me greatly
and at once suggested to me my friend C. W. H. of Princeton, but at the
same moment my eye rested on a common feather, picked up probably on
the prairie, stuck in his hair for ornament, snd I could not refrain from
smiling at the ridiculous contrast between my intelligent young friend and
the thoughtful Indian. Poor fellow I perhaps if he had an opportuiuty for
study he would ornament his head with something more honorable than
that which then pleased his fancy.

Monday, May 6. — Every thing was crossed safely over the river, and by
evening we were all snugly fixed at Randell's. The Indians had bought all
our horses that were for sale; and as they came to the houses with us, a
feast was prepared for them, with which they all appeared well satisfied.
A feast for the Indians is a very simple affair — a little cnfTee and gammon,
«r mush served in the simplest style is sufficient. There were sixty or
■seventy gathered on this occasion ; before the food was ready they came in
and went out, and sat talkir^, joking and passing around the pipe, just as
a company of whites would spend their time while waiting for the announce-
ment of dinner.

When all was prepared, two kettles' were placed in the middle of the '
floor, arid each Individual was furnished with a pan of some kind to eat
from, but they bad no spoons or anything to answer the same purpose. A.
then made quite a loqg speech, not however, standing up, but sitting on a
i)ench with iiis hat on bis bead and a pipe in his mouth. One of the old men
then arose, shook hands with him, resumed his seat on the floor and made
quite a long and animated speech. I could not understand a word of it, but
was much mterested by his earnest manner. Both of the speeches were
frequently interrupted by cries of "how, how," corresponding, I suppose
to our "near, hear," inaicating approbation. One of their number then
volunteered to serve the dinner. He first gave out the cofl'ee to each his
portion which was received with a " how," thank you. Then the gammon
was served in the same way, and eaten from the dishes to the great ride,
as I thought, of the tongue and throat. When this was going on Randell '
spoke, and with great animation. I was surprised — he is a Canadian
Frenchman, and a common man but he "talked like a lawyer," with
great earnestness and animation. Afterwards the Indians graouBlly dis-
persed, and we sat down to a supper of coffee, bangs (corn cakes,) and
honey ; for the whites do not cenerally eat when they give a feast to the
Indians. I could not but think how amusing it vtould Be to my friends at
home to see us enjoying this feast. We had no forks and bad to use ihd
Jctuves wfi carried in out belts.

In the morning we were off about half-past six o'clock, ud hoped t» '

[1] 88

reach Fort Kerre on Fnday evening, tut it was beyond o«r power. Our'
men Jnad been furnished witn Indian horses and, we Lad put some other
mules into the cart, giving our, mules their old place in the buggy. The
road was good and well marked as it is much traveled passing over rolling
prairie. Tiralier. and wat^ were scarce. The wind blew quite violently
which increased, the fatigue oi traveling. About two o'clock we stopped
for pinner on a high hill wTiere we. found plenty of wood left by some Indi-
ans. After dinne^ the wind madp the traveling so unpleasant that we
encamped early in a ravine,, through which ran a small stream called
the Chain of Rocks, fropi.thfi fact of a ridge of rocks extending across
the Missouri at its mouth. The sides of this ravine were covered with
imnkE of snow six and ten, feet deep. In- the morning we made an early
start with a clear sky and bright sun; the wind did not seem to be unusu-
ally violent, but in less than an hour it became so.

About ten o'clock we readied La Cbapelle creek, almost worn out with
fatigue. We all agreed that of all our bad days, this had been the worst.
But we found good restoratives in plenty of hot coffee and meat, and a
rest of a few hours made us all agam in a condition for 'tr&veling. The
afternoon proved pleasant and we soon reached Medicine creek which was
fordable ; we passed on and about seven o'clock found a good carapinff
ground at the foot of an island some miles below the fort. We were off
Before sunrise, and at seven o'clock on the morning of Saturday, May 4,
we I had the pleasure of halting opposite Fort Rerre.

The boat could not come over for us at once, and so we had something
to eat by way of variety, and waited, not very patiently, for it. About
twelve o clock it reached us, and as the wind was blowing, we were
CQrdelled up about a mile, and then crossed and landed at the fort gate.
The cannon and guns were fired in honor of the " Boss," and we were re-
ceived with great kindness. I was glad to stop ; we had been forty-five
days coming from St. Louis,, and our trip had been a tedious one. A's.
quarters are very comfortable and we were put in better condition here
than we had been for some days. The Indians soon invited A. to a tlog
feast, but be was too tired to go ; however, they at night brought over
to him some of the meat an,d had a talk with him, I was too fatigued to
attend, but some of the meat was given me, which I thought tasted strongly
of dog. Yesterday was, Sunday, and was truly a day of rest. This
morning I feel very well, anJ„ain preparing for a start to-morrow for the
Mauvaise Terre.

Tuesday, May 7. — This morning at seven o'clock I startet} from Port
Pierre, for the Mauvaise Terre. or ^ad Lands of White river. Our com-
pany consists of three — young M'Kenzie, myself and one of the men from
the Fort. The whole equipment is at the cost of A. We are well fur-
nished with provisions for about two weeks, and have three, mules all of
which are the worse for wear, but they are the best we conld get, as the
Indians have bought up all the best horses and mules and are clamorous for
more. We had a pleas^ morning for our start, although' it was & little
hazy. By ten o'clock we had reached Willow creek, eight miles from the
Fort, and there we dined. After this we ftioved off, expecting to go thir-
teen miles fiirtber, but we found our mules scarcely strong enough for
the trip, and stopped after traveling eight miles ; I hope to reach Bear
«raek> 007 destiiu^on, on Saturday, but fear that we snail not' be able;

however, I find that to take all thbgs patiently is the best way to get along^
"and so I shall do so.

The face of the country along the route of to-day has been hilly ; it il
neirty all barren rolling prairie, scarce of water and timber, and having the
toil strincly impregnated with saltpetre. I understand this to be- the
cause of the white appearance I here sff often noticed ; it looVi like' 15me
scattered oVer the ground, and has been very abundant tn day. ' Not so
much gravel, nor so tnany stones aS on the other side of the Missouri. Mr.
M'K^nzit has had great opportunity for learning the customs and habits of
the Indians. He tofd me to-day, that white they have no priests nor regvlar
reli^ous system, they all worship something — they offer sacrifices of cloth
and other articles to the Great Spirit, and this is done by simply casting
them into thejirairies with some form of prayer I suppose. ' Scarlet cloth is
generally preferred for this, also calico with red in it, and sheet iron kettles
fhckt have not been used. The Gros Ventres and Assihiboines are iftore re-
gular in this than the other tribes ; they offer great sacrifices every springr
at the time of the first rain which is accompanied with thunder and light-
ning. , Besides the worship of the Great Spirit, they all have something;
else to worship — a pipe stem, cap, feather or whatever suit* their fancy.

The tribes along the Missouri have no (^efs; those who have authority
amongst them gain it by their valor in war, their skill in stealing horses^
and the fiiumher of theirldridred. They have Authority only because ftiey
are feared, and if accidents removes this prop, they fell. This- is often
the case, as I have been told by several ramiliar with all the Missouri
tribes. They make frequent war patties, but in my opinion their braverr
is overrated ; they do not fight openly and boldly as the whites, but their
great object is to surprise. M'Kenzie told me ofone Jikrty of Sioux, nine
hundred strong, who went to war against the Gros Ventres and returned,
having murdered only one little boy, whom theycaught straying from the
village. Another party had several of their number taken prisoners and burnt
before their eyes, and, instead of revenging the death of their friend, they
jeturned crying, and were laughed at, When they got home. There are about
600 lodges of the Tanktonians, and about four hundred of the Tetona.

Wednesday, May 8- — We are encamped this evening on the Sheepoi
river about forty-four miles from the Fort; our old mules have done better
to-day than t expected, as they have brought us thus far, although they
gave out again this afternoon. . The road to-day has been very billy 'and
the land barren. Animals are scarce — we have not seen any but a aingle
wolf since we left, and a few small birds; one of the latter )s beauttfiil ia
shape and plumage. It is a small snow hird, white in winter, hut now of a
dove color with some white.

I picked up to-day quite a number of small pieces of petrified wood
which were lying in the road. The hills thuS far have hot been covered
, with stones and rocks as they were across the river; I'passed but one hill
to-day on which were stones scattered over the surface, and they seemed
to have been made by the breaking of large rocks ; the pieces were about
the size of those for turnpike roads. Wood has been found more abundant
than I expected from the account given me of its scarcity ; it is scarce butt
still enough is found for a fire every ten miles', wat^r isalso abundant now,
but probably not so in the suinmer. We dined to-day at Big Hole creek,
at present containing plenty of good 'water, but in sommer it oaly »^«^
hole filled with water. t^dnolr

Last night we had a good deal of talk around our fire ahout tbe Blade
* Kills. Joe, an experienced hunter tells me that they are covered with the
finest pine timber, so thick that a person on horseback cannot pass through
it in some plnces. There is an abundance of fine water but no fish ; plenty
of all kinds of game. Grizly bears are found there sometimes in bands, like
bufi'alo ; they live on fruit, nesh and ants ; to get these they turn over the
largest logs and eat them off the under side. He never knew a man to kill
one with young, and less is known to the hunter about the time of their
breeding, than about that of any other animal in this section. They arc
not found north of the Missouri.

[ JVole. — Grizzly bears are of^n found in tbe Bad Lands ; we saw the
fresh tracks of one at Sage creek, but saw nothing more of him. ]

Thursday, May 9. — We are encamped this evening on Cotton Wood
cr^ek, and a pleasant evening it is ; sitting by a fire ^in my ears delighted
with the evening song of the birds, and my eyes gratified with the lovely
«hades of the sky as tne evening draws on.

We have travelled about twenty-six miles to-day, which was d<ring
■wonders for our old mules ; from the fine roads I should judge that with ■
good team and a light load, we could easily go from the Fort to the Mau-
vaises Terres in three days ; it will take us however, five and a half. This
. morning we left the first fork of the Sheepoi creek, dined on the Ree creek,
about fifteen miles from the former, and came on here for the night, eleven
miles. These streams are all small ; water and timber scarcer than here-
tofore ; rolling prairie but more level land than yesterday. I have noticed
Ibat the streams along this road ar^ different from those across the Missouri,
in that their banks are neither so steep nor so soft. The hills are not so
«tony, though the land is apparently poor.

Friday, May 10. — Our camp this evening is at the head of the Little
Missouri or Bad river. There is another river higher up call the Little
Missouri, but how this one got the' same name I cannot ascertain. We
have come to-day about twenty-six miles ; the route until noon was over a
action of country very similar to what we passed before ; the small streams
had better timber on them than any we have seen since we left. About
nine o'clock we came to what is called Grindstone hills ; they arc three
elevations ranging north and southj covered with a sandstone ; there are
more stones on them than on any hill I have seen this side of the Missouri,
and these evidently belong to strata beneath the surface ; the soil on these
little hills is different from what it is below and the eastern side is much
steeper than the western ; this is true of nearly all the large hills I passed
this afternoon. I could not examine the top of the Grindstone hills, as I
tad BO horse.

About five or six miles from them we reached a basin-shaped valley
which at once suggested the idea of a lake with an outlet and an inlet ;
there is a ridge about the middle that divides it into two portions. The
face of the country has been more varied than heretofore, and timber much
more abundant ; we crossed the beds of several streams which were dry ;
nearly all the streams within a few miles of this, unite to form Bad river,
the point of union is called its head. To-morrow morning we shall mount a
high bluff and have a prairie for a long way. Game as scarce as ever —
Joe killed a prairie dog, a little grey wolf and missed two antelopes. —
M'Kenzie is deaning the wolf's head. W? were all very much amused at
the old mules ahout four miles finm here ; we hadjost reached a, good

91 [1]

oAit|Mng ground and veie rnH^g on, vhra tke mules thought it time to
stop, and did so; we luckea and whipped, but the mules would only moT«
in a circle or back ; we all whipped and then laughed at the preposteroui
notion of encamping at four o'clock on a fine aftemoon. Finally, after a
while the whipping prevailed and on we went.

To-morrow we shall get a distant view of the Black hills. Got to-dav,
several specimens of insects ; yesterday, one botanical specimen. A loTcJy
evening, a pleasant camp, and a prospect of a good day to-morrow.

Saturdaif, May 11.— Our camp ttus evening is on Sage creek, a few
Diiles in the Mauvaise Terre or Bad Lands of White river. We started this
morning just as the sun was peeping over the hills ; about two miles from
camp we ascended a steep and high bluff, and entered on a wide prairie.
This extended plain is unbroken by a hill until we reach a sti^am called
Pinau's spring, about nine miles from Bad river. We passed down a few
hills to reach this, and on the left of the road was an elevated piece of
ground that a^qwared to me as though it might be a mound, but doubtless
It was only a natural elevation. At this spring we found a hole containing
good water, and had an excellent place for camp.

For breakfast we fared well, and among other things had prairie dog'. I
tasted the latter and found it pretty good, although it had somewhat ra the
dog taste. These little animals are very much like a grey squirrel and ar«
much eaten by the hunters. Their bark is moie like a chirp, and reminds
me of a bird rather than of a dog. They lie at their holes and keep a con-
stant barking, and their tails go as fast as their jaws, for every bark, a
shake of the tail. We passed a large village of them covering several acres,
just after we started, but I judge them to be lazy fellows, as but two ap-
peared to be stirring, although the sun was then up. I found several good
' skulls of these animals, and a number of jaw bones which I preserved. Poor
fellows ! they had been shot and suffered to rot at their own doors. After
breakfast I got several specimens of a plant growing abundantly on the
green bank at the edge of the water. I also prepared some wood for the
pins of my specimens of insects of which I have a few. We then started^
and again arose to a level prairie which we had with only a few hills as far
as Bifll creek, about nine miles. Long before reaching this stream, I had
my first view of the Bad Lands | a bute arose perpendicular out of the plain
very irregular in its shape ; I viewed it with a great deal of interest, aa
being the first of that remarkable ground which I nad come so far to see.

We reached Bull creek about two o'clock, and there gave the mules some
rest. Just before reaching it, Joe killed an antelope, of which we had seen
several. We packed the Bams and shoulders to camp. While there, M'-
Kenzie prepared the skull of a curlew, which Joe had killed in the morning;
he also partially prepared the skull of the antelope. The stream was dry,
having water only in a few holes ; it was approached by a long descent,
and the banks were very much washed. There was a sandy soil of about
five feet, then strata of stones and gravel of about three feet, then another
deposit of a light yellow clay. I took out a small piece of wood from a
■pot about five feet under the surface.

We left Bull creek about three o'clock, and moved along very slowly, as
it was very warm and we all felt lazy. The road now lay over hills which
became more steep and frequent as we approached the Bad Lands. These
occasionally appeared in the distance, and never before did I see anything
that so resembled a large city ; so complete was this deception that I coula

[I] «

pdint ott fbe pubHc baildingB ; ow apfwared to tmre a lar^ dome -wtnch

' niiglit be the town hall ; another, a large angular, ccHK-shape top, ^hich I

would suggest the court house or soote magnificeDt building for pnblio

norposes ; then would aiq>ear a row of palaces, great in number and superb
ui all their arrangements. Indeed the thought frequently occurred its we
rode along, that at a distance, this portion of the ground looked like a city

of palaces ; every thing arranged upon the grandest scale and adapted for
the habitation, not of pigniies, such as now inhabit the earth, but of ^ants,
•uch as woultl be fit to rule oyer the ponderous animals whose remains arc
•till found there. Again and again, as from different positions these bills
eame in sight, would such thoughts arise in my mind, and I could almost
&ncy, that upon the wind would occasionally be borne, the din and bustk
of the immense city.

The mind could not remain with the present ; it must range back to the
earliest period, and ask whence were these things ? but soon a nearer view
would destroy all illusion and fancy would have to give place to fact, and
allow these self-creBted cities to be mere sand hills. But sand hills as they
are, they are wonderful and must excite the greatest interest in the scientific
world. I wish that we had with us a company of men of this kind pre-
pared for a thorough exploration, as my only hope is to be an humble
jrioneer, anil to be the means of prompting others more able to engage in
the work. Our route lay to the west of the Lands, and away in the di>
tance, still further west, appeared a dim blue outline which marked tbs I
Black hills; these are distant about two days march.

The roail from Fort Pierre is in a direction nearly due west, until about
Finot's spring, where it takes a general direction of south by west. As it
approaches Sage creek, however, it becomes very serpentine, for so ereat is
the descent from the plains to the water level here, that the road must
follow all the winilings of the ridge to get down to it.

The toi» of the highest butes in the Bad Land appeared to be about on a
level with the plain, but I took no exact observation. About five o'clock,
we came near to Sage creek and entered on the Bad Laiids ; here it is
merely a great number of small hills of all shapes thrown together in great
confusion and very barren. In thinking of how these lands were formed,
it occurred to me very forcibly, that it was by some convulsion of nature
by which the ground sunk — the hills were not elevated, but were left so by
the depression of the surrounding land. This opinion appears to be con-
firmed by the fact, that the highest butes hare on their tops, prairie land
covered with vegetation, such as the plain beyond the Bad Lands ; then
agun, the formation of one of the first hills over which the mad passes,
confirms it ; the hill is very steep on both sides and ranges nearly north and
south, I think ; it is just about long enough for a good road, and is covered
aa thick as the bottom of any stream witb gravel and small stones, such as
are found in the beds of streams here ; at each end of this little hill stand
two butes, one very slightly elevated, between which the road passes, and
just opposite and east of the right hand one, is another like them, the tops
of all of which are nearly level, and as well as I could observe, covered
with tbe same kind of small stones as cover the road and just as thick; ths
■ides of these small butes are perpendicular, and the strata of clay they ex-
failrit are horizontal, showing that they have not been distributed by any
^>-heaying force.

This Enme thing is tnie t£ a great many of the Ulb; tbe strata are pc»-

DolzeclbvGOOglf

M [11

Icctly horicontal. I mtieed ooe in which &e hill mppean to have amli^
leaving the middle of it risiiig up as a pp^, twenty or thirty feet high, and
in this peak the strata are horizontal. It is true, that there are a gimt
many peaked hills with inclined sides, but throughout there are many with
horizontal strata of clay ; giving evidence that they had been left there and
not formed by upheaval. On Monday morning I hope to reach the petri>
factions.

Tuesday, May 14. — Yesterday I visited the Bed Lands, but did not gat
to camp until it was too late to record the events of the day. We had ett-
camped during Sundavj on Sage creek, nine miles from Bear river ; in the
morning we were on early, and took breakfast at Bear river. The road
from Sage creek winds considerably at first, over some very steep hiUs.
This creek is one of the nost crooked streams I ever saw. ; its, banks arc
almofit perpendicular, and from twenty to thirty feet high. I observed ia
several places in the bank, a thick stratum of slate about twenty feet below
the surface of the ground ; the water is briny and leaves a deposit of salt
on the stones ; it, as all the other streams along the route contains at pre-
sent, no running water ; the clay m the bottom is nearly pure white, and a»
clear is the water, that at first it seemed muddy from the clay at the hot'
torn ; when the water in these pools was moved by a gentle breeze, tba
shadows on the bottom were most beautiful.

A few miles from the creek we passed over some hills that gave evidence
of having experienced the most violent convulsions ; these, unlike those
seen on Saturday, appeared to have been upheaved and to have experienced
the action of fire ; one place suggested the idea of a volcanic crater ; it was
a alight hollow and contained a number of smalt rocks different from any
around it ; a little above, the hills were of white sand, and one was covered
with small rounded red stones.

From these hills we ascended to a prairie, the most level that I have seen;
for miles the eye could detect scarcely the least rise, and it gave not the
smallest evidence of the convulsions that probably raged so near it. This
level prarie continued with but a single interruption till we reached the
hills of Bear creek. The descent to this is by a very steep hill and beyond
it another level — a steep takes us to another level beyond. All along this
route tlie Black hills are distinctly seen in the distance, and this side of them
the woods of Shazer river. We encamped on Bear river near a spring,
which is always anxiously looked for by travelers through this country. I
shared in this anxiety and expected to see a fine flowing fountain. I was
disappointed to find only three small holes in the side of the hill, but was
again agreeably surprised to find cool, delightful sand water. It is
the only water I have really relished for a long while, except perhaps
that of the Missouri.

Immediately after breakfast, we left our b^gage and started for the point
which I had long hoped to reach ; my anxiety was great to see the won-
ders of which I had heard so much. A rapid ride over a good road, soon
brought us to the edge of the descent ; this was steep but even, and in a
few minutes we were on the level below; nothing remarkable appeared
here; in about half an hour we reached the Bad Lands themselves and m^
interest was intense.

The road now was over the deposite of velloviBh white clay, so hardened
by the sun as scarcely to be impressed oy the hoofs of the mules or bjc
the wheel of the buggy — it was very smootk ; we now passed by a number

[I] M

irfnMil spots of ground from one to fin f«et ibore the level of this day,
having grass on tneir tops like those on the prairies above ; their udes were
Berpencncular, and having fallen down hy tne action of the weather, the
fionzontal strata of sanaand clay were exposed. We soon reached tb«
place where petrifactions most abound. I got out and Icxiked around for
them ; I was shown a number of ugly dark red, onshapen masses — tbeee,
my guide told me were petrified turtles, their shells being destroyed by the
action of the sun, and they are crumbling to pieces. The ground in rauiy
places is thickly covered with small lumps, the broken remains of turtles,
which a few years ago were perfect. I feit disappointed, for I had ex-
pected to see many fine specimens of petrifactions of different animals. I
started however, on a voyage of discovery around tiiis pond-shaped baan,
and was shown a large turtle almost perfect, though bfoken in two pieces,
its shell partly remained. This we secured as part of our treasure.

There were three of us and we took different directions. I found every-
where the remains of turtles in different stages of preservation, none pej^
feet however. I picked up a number of pieces of bone, but found no teeth
nor any heads. This was discoura^ng, but on my retnm to the buggy, I
saw that one of the men had brought an excellently preserved head * of
about the size of that of a large bear ; he had found also several other good
specimens. When I ascertained the locality of these petrifactions to be so
eireumscribed, I hastened to finish collecting in one day, and although the
sun was broiling hot, and we had no water except a very little brought
with us to cook, we went, and by evening we had made quite a good ex-
amination of this immediate locality ; we bad about half a bushel of stnall
arUcles, a number of excellent teeth and jaw bones, several good heads and
a couple of pretty good small turtles, besides the large one before mentioned.
These I thought as many as my means of transportation would allow. I
have since found them to be more, for Hiey are very heavy. I then filled a
•malt bag with the clay, and the fragments of petrified turtle, and started
with M'Kenzie for the top of one of the highest hills. To gain this was
BO small matter, as the path was very steep and mostly very narrow ; at
length we reached it, and a most magnificent landscape rewarded our labor.
The bute we ascended had on its top a level prairie of about twenty acres:
it was covered with grass and as near as I could judge of the same level ai
those beyond the Lands.

These prairies on the butes, and they are on nearly every one, are the
ranges of the Big Horn (Ovis Americana) ; they love to roam around the
very brink and along the steep sides, and seem to think themselves secure
in tneir heights. We judged this bute to be about ^wo hundred -feet high,
and nearly all the others are the same, in every direction except towards
the prairie we could see these great hills towering above the plain below,
having their sides washed into picturesque shapes ; the lower elevations
looked beautiful with their carpet of grass and scattered about through the
hard white olay surface, and this itself appeared almost like water at the
height where we stood. Away to the south appeared the hill on which is
the Ash spring, and near it several high hills which looked like the old
towers that are perched on the hills of the Rhine ; in every direction this
•ante palace-like appearance was exhibited by the hilb in the distance.

But bow shall I convey a correct idea of these lands ? this question has

* Aa««i|iMiM«fl<)HilBliiMCtnM.— 8.F. &

.byGoOglf

occurred to me ofien to^f ; iaj «wn conception of tfaem were vciy iifi-
fereot fnim the general descriptions I had heard, and I fear that I must
likewise fail in describing tnem to others. If you imagine an exteneir*
tract ol perfectly level land, and suppose that the whole sinks about two
hundred feet except some large lots, every few hundred feet apart, you will
have some idea of what was probably the original appearance of these
lands ; you must suppose also a number, some very small and some very
large, to sink not so much as two hundred feet, but near it ; on all these th«
highest and the lowest, the level prairie soil remains, but below these lowest
a lew feet, a yellowish clay soil takes its place. Ld the Qourse of time the
rains wash the original perpendicular sides into vEkrious shapes still steepi
and partaking of the spirit of the Gothic style of architecture. From some
the original soil is washed entirely away, and they stand at intervals with
whitened aides and rounding top amongst their higher and more fortunate
neighbors. Fancy yourself on the hottest day in summer, in the hottest
spot of such a. place without water, without an animal, and scarcely an
insect astir, without a single dower to speak pleasant things to the eye,
and you will have some idea of the utter loneliness of the Bad Lands. It
appears to me quite certain that slight excavations in some of these bill)
would develope many very perfect specimens ; many of those now disco-
Tered od and near the surface, most probably have been washed out by
the rains and when exposed for some time they crumble to pieces, at least
the petrified turtles do so.

I was much surprised to see, running through different parts of the clay
surface, vertical strata of a singular looking substance, something like melted
glass and almost transparent ; the strata is about one fourth of an inch in
Uiickness and do not lie in a series of strata, but between each stratum
there are several inches of the clay and they protrude several inches above
the clay, while in many places the surface is covered with small pieces, as
though injected strata had been broken up. Specimens of these strata wer«
secured . [ What is the substance ? ]

Another singular fact is the iayera of a peculiarly formed sand stone found
in nearly every hill : they are generally of a rounded shape, weighing po-
bably ten or fifteen pounds, and they are placed as stone in a wall around
the whole hill, and between each layer there are from eight to ten feet of
clay. They are not confined to tliis small size, but are also found very
large and of the most singular shapes. At a hasty glanoe they seem as if
put there by the hand of man ; in some places they appear as if they had
run into these irregular shapes in a melted state.

There was no water to be found there, nor grass, except on the prairie
spots; the water when found is scarcely drinkable.

Wednesdap, May 15. — Darkness interrupted my narrative last evening,
and I resume it at our noon encampment at the head of the Little Missouri
•r Bad river.

On our return to oamp on Monday evening, we found all the baggage
safe. On thinking over the matter, I determined to start for home in the
morning ; I had seen enough of the Lands to give n general description of
that portion of them and had secured a few good specimens. To do more
than than this would have required good saddle horses, and I had only a
pair of indifferent mules ; the weather was intensely hot, and no water to
he had in the Lands, so that it would have been a great labor to have ex'
woined them more thoroughly, and beiidea this, I felt that a more getwrel

[1] M

examination sach as my fimited means and thne •wtmli allow, Wduld be of
littls service. I bad already done enough to excite inquiry, aad lurthtt
exploration must be made by scientific men with a corps of assistants. Out
day more might have secured a Big Horn, but this would hardly justify dit
stay. Therefore, while I greatly feared that Professor Saird would b«
disappointed, I determined to start in the morning.

We arose early, but were detained by our mules having wandered ot
About seven o'clock we started, very heavily loaded. I felt sure that vk
must walk the whole distance, and although such a prospect did not daunl
me, yet a walk of one hundred and thirty miles in very hot weather, ad
after a three months trip, was no trifling matter ; we started, but as vt
were asccndin? the hill of the opposite bank of the river, something aboui
the tongue brwce by which we were detained nearly aa hour. Then o«
mule could scarcely pull the load up the hill, and the buggy was evident!]'
on the point of breaking down. However, we got up the hill and on the
level prairie — had a fine road. I got in to ride a short distance and rather
sad thoughts occurred to me ; there I was, laboring and fatiguing myself »
much, in perfect contrast to my situation a year ago, or to my situation in
Princeton, Lut I felt that I would prefer being there to lounging about tb«
fort ; tbe only thing that troubled me, was how to get the load home ; w
at last crossed Sage creek, and there stopped for dinner ; the buggy looked
•till worse, and one of the springs showed evident signs of breaking.

After much uneasiness, I determined to leave there all we could, and
hasten home a:id then send a cart for what we would leave. The principal
reasons for doing so were, that the buggy could not carry the load, nof
could I take any portion of my collection at all ; for on the road out, so
heavy was the load, and so weak the muies that we walked at least ow
half the distaice. I felt sure also that I would give out; ray limbs coulii
not carry me much further. We therefore made what they call a baggagt,
that is a deposit of articles, and started for Bull creek ; we had a verr
warm, fatiguing ride, and although we reached there early, we were so
tired that all hands were willing to rest. We stopped for tlie night anii
had a fine encampment.

This morning we were up, had breakfast, and were on our way before
■unrise, and about six o'clock we reached this place. A few miles fron
this we met a party with several carts going to trade with the Shagen Indi-
ans beyond the Bad Lands : they by promismg to bring our baggage, ligb''
eoed my heart very much. I find the few warm days since we passed here,
have brought out the buds on the trees.

Thursday, May 16. — Last night we camped on Grindstone creek;
the clouds were heavy and threatened rain, but happily it passed o^cf
without nhy. To-day at noon we camped on Bee creek, and this evening
are at our old encampment on the Sheepoi river. To-day has been wmlj
and rather cold : quite pleasant this evening. To-morrow we hope to reacn
the fort, and it is about time, as our provisions arc nearly out.

Saturday, May 18. — Last evening about sunset, I reached the Fori
▼cry much fatigued, and very glad to get back again to comfortable quarteis-
We had traveled that day forty-three miles with our team nearly given out.
I had been absent about eleven days, one of which was a day of rest. '
had traveled nearly three-hundred mites — had made considerable collection*
in the Mauvaises Terre, and had seen a goodly portion of the country «*"
tween tbe Missouri and the Platte. The journey was a iatiguing one to tbi

9T ■ til

flesh but a profitable one to the sfttrit, anj I do not in the leaat regret having
made it ; my only regret is that my limited meana did not permit me to go
prepared for a more thorough exploration.

Tuesday, May 21. — Fatiguea as I was from my late trip, the rest at the
fort has been very acceptable. Sunday was a quiet, pleasant day, but I did
not do much reading as I did not feel very veil, ana in the evening had a
severe attack of illness. On Monday morning I felt disinclined to move
about ; so I busied myself for a part of the morning in marking what speci-
mens I have here. This so fatigued me, that I took a long sleep. In the
evening the clouds threatened a storm, but although there was considerable
thunder and lightning, there was, to our regret, scarcely any rain, which is
very much needed for the forms which are beginning to be cultivated.
But everything appears to indicate a very dry and hot season. The river
has fallen about five feet while I have been away, and at the present
stage of water the expected steamboat of the Fur Company could scarcely

fet up: however the June rise from the mountains will probably make it
igh enough.

The weather has been warm for some days, and should a rain come I
shall be able to make a good botanical collection, but as it now is, all the
flowers are very backward. I have found several different plants along the
route and the same near the fort. One delicate purple flower remmded me
of the beautiful Virginian cowslip which was plenty about Clifton ; another
I think, is a species of wild pea ; another is a modest little yellow violet, and
another appears to be a white variety of the purple one first mentioned ; it
resembles it in everything but the color of the petals, and these are pore
white J the specimen I received is the only one I have seen.

Yesterday a party started out on a buffalo hunt across the Missouri, but
I preferred staying m the fort. This morning A. and I took a ride on horse-
back four miles up the river, over a pleasant, level road, and passed through
a prairie-dog village, but found the canine inhabitants very timid.

TkuTsday JIfay 23. — This morning I arose about 5 o'clock and found the
earth much refr»hed by a slight rain of last night. Ilie air was so sultry
that we expected another shower but we have been disappointed, llie river
still continues very low and everything unfavorable for a very high stage of
water. Felt better than for several days past ; the fatigues of my long trip
are passing away gradually, and some little energy is aeain creeping into
my system. I spoke to ATKenzie about getting for me a bow with a quiver
of arrows, which he prombed to do, and also tostart out some young Indians
after the little rabbits peculiar to the prairie ; he inquired about a young
grey wolf which some Indians had in their possession a few days ago, out to
my regret it had been killed ; it would have made a good skeleton.

Having spent an hour in writing, I felt like taking a short botanical ex-
cursion and spent about two hours up the river gatherins several good spe-
cimens of a number of different plants, and also collecting some insects. —
Flowers are still rare. On my return I saw a number of beautiful birds
which were singing cheerfiilly ; one of these was a little mocking bird such
as we had first heard on Sage Creek ; he perches himself on the topmost
twig of a tree and sings away his varied song with neat glee. I saw also
a large and very beautiful species of the thrush. Alter dinner I rode with
my brother to the Little Mi^uri ; the hills in that direction are covered
with gravel as across the Missouri. Brought in two botanical specfanens.
Afterwards went out to the lodges with Gilpin to witness a great game ai

[1] • w ,

handy IbaU) by the Indians ; about sixty wene engaged in it, old and young,
men and boye, and they had a number of bets staked on the result. The
whole company appeared to be greatly interested, as the women stood at the
lodge doors occasionally cheering on the game with songs and shouts. —
The players, had laid aside all their garments except their clouts, and
played with as much zest as a set of school boys, but not with equal fair-
ness ; for some of them carried blankets or robes with which to stop the
ball. This, I am told, is a favorite game with the Indians, and sometimes
hundreds are engaged in it.

They hare anolEer popular game called billiards on which they bet a
^at deal ; it is entirely different from our game of that name. In the eve-
ning walked ap to the prairie Tillage with A. to Idll a prairie dog, but did
not succeed,

Friday f May 24. — Last night I was aroused by the roaring of the wind,
blowing violently through my open window, which I immediately closed ;
soon after my ears were delighted to hear the rain beating heavily on
the roof, and I was prepared for the evidence shown this monmig of a heavy
fell of water.

In the afternoon I took a walk up the river for exercise and to gather
flowers ; saw very few, as the day had been cold and cloudy. I fouod,
however, two new specimens and several of the old ones were quite nume-
rous, especially the delicate purple violet. I paid a hasty visit to the prairie-
dog village and got three sculls, and then hastened home refreshed by the
invigorating breeze, and prepared to rehsh my supper. M'Kenzie was out
at the same time and secured three birds for stufiimg — one of them a thrusb
and two others quite small specimens.

I noticed on my way home a black bird with his wings marked with white
where one species has the beautiful, brilliant red ; also noticed a little turd
with its breast of the singular color of a pale pea-green.

After tea walked out to see another game of bandy ; all were again at it
with hearty good will — it appeared strange to see the old chief. Little Bear,
with nothing but his breech cloth on, and his bandy in hand as hard at play
as the youngest child in the party, and there were some quite young ainoDg
them. They afibrded a pretty sight as they hurried in different directitms
after the ball in their flesh colored uniform, their scarlet cloth streaming
out behind, with an occasional head highly omametUed

One squaw only joined in the play and as she bad on an English dress
she appeared somewhat out of place. The whole encampment however took
great mterest in the scene, and every lo^e had its collection of squaws and
Babies looking on with varied interest. It was altogether a wild and cheer-
ful scene, aniTa good ilUustration of one of the national amusements of the
Indians. I would suggest it as a grave question for those who can see
ferther than their neighbors into a mil] stone — ^whether our school-boys de-
rived this game from the savage, or handed it over to them, or whether both
being ranked under the head of sav^es may be regarded as having inherited
it from the same original source 1

Two of the voyageurs were engaged in the game, and at the end of
the sport an Indian gave one of them a horse, worth probably twenty
robes \ the same person a few days ago received a present of forty robes ;
"fortunate fellow would the unitiated exclaim ; but an Indian present is
like an eastern gift, which is to be returned with compound interest ; in this
country one finds it more to his advantage to buy anythii^ he may want

[1]

from an Indiim. A trader just p^xXaMa^t^"^ an Indian who had given
him a porcupine skin in the winter, and said he, "I hare not done paying
for it yet though I have given him the value of aeventeen>hundred dollan
already." This system of presents prevails to 8 great extent here ; you
would think them the most generous people in the world, and they are really
so, but they get paid a great deal in the same way. This refers to tlw
whites as welfas to the Indians. Obtained from Mr. Gilpin some valuable
statistics about the Sioux nation.

Read Lynch's work, and was exceedingly struck with the sunilarity that
must exbt between the conformation of some parts .of tbat country around
the Dead Sea and this ; so striking b the resemblance that a paragraph de-
scriptive of it is almost the same as my langut^ in describing the distant
view of the Mauvaise Terre ; it is found at page 330 chapter 15, in the ac-
count of an excursion to Masada, where " they beheld in the distance
most singular formations resembling a plain covered with towns and villages,
marble cities with columns, temples, domes and palaces, which as they (the
beholders) advanced faded away and finally resolved themselves into curi-
ously configurated hills, so marked and channelled by the weather, that
although aware of the formation, it was difficult to destroy the first illusion."
See pages 91 and 92 of this journal.

I thuik the picture of Masada, facing page 332 might eauly pass for a
view of one of the sand butes of the Bad Lands. It wilt certainly be an
interesting question for my more learned followers to investsgate, and. I hope
it may serve to throw some light on the formations in both districts.

A. mentioned to-day some Mauvaise Terre high up on the Missouri more
wonderful than those on White River — he did not know whether petrifac-
tions were found there or not.

Saturday, May 25. — This morning early the clouds were very heavy and
indicated a heavy rain but it did not come, although it has been cloudy
throughout the day ; just now, however, it appears as if about to begin, and
it probably will be a long one. Fire has been very pleasant all day. Before
coming here I had been Ted to suppose that changes in temperature were not
sudden : my experience however has been very mtferent. But my constitu-
tion does not suffer from them as it did in tlie East, either because of my
more vigorous health or of the great purity of the air, and perhaps it may
be from a combination of both.

Durii^ the forenoon I took a long walk down the river on the look-out
for plants, but found verv few ; however got three new specimens for the
herbarium, and several nne yellow violets, which I hope will press better
than those heretofore tried. I walked for nearly a mile on a sand bar, and
found imbedded in the sand a well preserved buffalo skull, wanting only the
lower jaw. I sent Jim for it and shall give it the privilege of a visit to the
E^ast. M'Kenzie did not succeed in skinning the small birds shot this
momiug, on account of such large holes in them. In the ai^moon one of
the men brought me a small owl which lives with the prairie-dog. I killed
it, and with M'K's. assistance took off its skin ; but as we have no arsenic,
I fear it will not keep ; I have, therefore, made a skeleton of it and if the
skin decays will have at least its bones.

While engaged in this operation, a band of Indians entered the yard for
a dance ; they were about twenty in number and had two leaders, one on
horseback. All were dressed in war costume and had their bodies painted
with vennillion, or with yellow ochre ; they exhibit the same t«ate for, dis-

[ 1 ] 100

play that the whites do in their military costume ; the buckdcin leegiBS of
those who had them, were ornammted with Tery long fringes of di0er- .
ent colors, and so also were the coats of sevenl ; some had long tails orna-
mented with metallic plates about as large as a dollar, reaching to the ground;
their lances, which were about ten feet long, had a long fringe ot bnlliantly
colored feathers' reaching almost the whole length ; some nad handsome
bows and quivers, and indeed time would &il me m describing all their orna-
ments and miplements. Having formed themBelves into a circle the musicians
began to beat their tambourinS like drums, and to howl most melodiously
according to their taste. All joined in the song, which sounded very mucD
like the neero melodies, all notes and no words ; this I was told was the
case, but the negro is far more musical. While singing they also danced,
that is, jumped up and down in the same place ; after having thus danced
and sung and dnunmed and beaten on an uutrument of two sticks, they all
gave a great flourish of instruments and loud halloos as a grand finale.
These shouts reminded me very much of the screech and shudder usually
evolved on jiHnping into an ice cold bath.

The first performance was followed by several others of the lilce character
interminglea with occasional speeches — declarattcms of what wonders the
orator had done in war, or perhaps intended doing. These were received
with a true military salute oy the beating of drums and loud hallooii^.
Another ceremony was the presentation of a calico shirt to one of the
leaders, and of a' little tobacco and vermilion to the party ; something ot
this kind is always expected. Why is it that all unci'niized nations are so
fond of the cry " give — give." IIub was the first Indian dance I had seen
and I confess I looked upon it as on some of those horrible rites of heathen
lands, merely as a curiosity, not with delight. But all these customs are
calculated to surest many philosophical reflections as they indicate more
than appear at first sight. The philosophy of costume is well worthy of
study. The* river is rismg rapidly this evemng and a fine rain falling.

Sunday, May 36. — After tea I took a short walk with Mr. Hodgekiss, and
as we patsed through the lodge I remarked to him that we ought to go armed
with clubs to keep off the dogs which were then exhibiting a threatening
attitude. He replied that in a Crow village it would be impossible for
us to pass with safety as we were then doing, t>ut would have to go wrapped
in a robe as an Indian, and under the guidance of one, and even then, cinbs
would hardly protect us from the hordes of savage dogs that would assail us.
The river still continues to rise, and is already in good navigable order,
so that we look for the boat in about two weeks. It cleared off last n^ht
and we have had a bright sun for the most of the day ; but about sunset dark
clouds overspread the sky and there was every appearace of a rainy night.

Monday, May 27. — This has been a day of rain and mud, but in the
evening it has cleared off beautifully. Spent the day in reading and writing.
Made out this afternoon a tabular view of the Sioux nation on the Missouri,
so as to exhibit their numbers, divisions and localities. This has been exe-
cuted under the inspection of Mr. Oilpin, who has been in this country for
ten yean, and is good authority on this subject ; his account of the numbers
of the d^erent tribes was confirmed by six or eight Indians of autiiority
who were in his room at the time.

HodgekiBS mentioned a angular fact this evening, namely, that the spring
^ritich IS the bead of the TeUowstone, gushes out u a stnmg stream of ex-
oelloit and very cold vator, and that about thirty yaida fr(«i the aonice it

101 [ 1 ]

is divided by a lai^ rock into two parU, one of which forms the Yellow
atone River, and the other the licwis Fork of the Columbia. He say« the
elk are far more numerous on the Yellowstooe than we suppose — taat in
one place the Indians have made quite a substantial fort fnrai their honw
piled together, and tliat in another place quite a lai^ hill has been fonned
by the number of these boms collected tt^ther.

I have for some time intended giving a description of Fort Pierre Chou-
teau and its environs, but have postponed it irom day to day for no good
reason. A person coming up the country on the other side of the river
has his first view of it about naif a mile below, and it then presents a most
beautitiil sight.

The main object in the picture is the fort itself, having a white appearance,
lying four-square, surrounded by a square palisade wall fifteen feet high and
three-hundred feet on each side, with bastions at the North, West and South
East comers ; then the Indian lodges are seen around the fort ; by their
irregularity of position, their conical shape and varied colors, giving life and
a picturesque air to the scene ; and for a couple of miles below the fort and
between it and the bluSs, the whole plain is dotted with horses grazing
and moving leisurely about, while the bold bluffs a mile west of the fort
affords a nae back-ground for the picture. The shores immediately oppo-
site the fort are high bluffs almost from the water's edge, and with their
steep barren sandy sides, look as if determined to wrap tnemselves up for-
ever in the dignity of their own sterility. The main channel runs along this
shore, althought at present there is a probability that the boat will be able
to land at the fort.

The fort is situated on a beautiful piece of bottom land which extends for
some miles along the bank of the river, and is skirted by a range of bluff
bills on the West, by which you rise to the rolling prairie beyond. The
bottom land affords fine pasture and has a beautiful appearance when the
rass and flowers are out on it ; butthe company pasture tiieir horses on the
lad River about eight miles from the fort, as the Indians always have so
many horses here.

On entering the fort two large gates are seen, over each of which there
is a large picture intending to represent scenes of interest to the Indian ; we
shall enter by the one to the left, as the other leads to the stable-yard, and
we shall choose a dry day for our visit, as on any other our shoes will suffer
very much from the mud. A number of Indiana, men and women, with
their blankets wrapped around them, with their bare legs, painted faces and
curiously ornamented heads, will probably be loungine in perfect listless-
nesB about the gate. The main building stands opposite the gate and oc-
cupying nearly the whole length of that side, with a porch along its entire
front, windows in the roof and a bell on the top, and above it the old weather
cock, looking for all the world, like a Dutch tavern. The main building
contains the mess hall, kitchen and rooms for the traders ; to the right m
it you see a neat log house with a pleasant little portico in front, and oil
painted window blinds — that is the boujier or boss' nouse, and the long one
storied buildii^ painted red, and occupying almost the whole of the North
side of the fort, is the store and warenouse where the goods and robes are
kept. To your immediate right as you enter the gate are the blacksmith's
shop and several rooms for the men, and to your left is a small building con-
taiun^ the carpenter shop and further accommodations for the men ; nearly
the wlole aouth side is occppied by a low building divided into,sevea rooms,

E

t 1 ] 102

occupied by the laborers and traders. These low houses are covered 'with
dirt roo& ; none of the houses are built against the fort Trails, but behind
them is a space of about twenty-five feet, and this is occupied in various
ways. The north side has a house for the deposit of harness and iiupleinents
of labor — the powder-house, milk-house for quite a good dairy — the stable
and stable-yard ; the south side has two lai^ buildinp^ for com, meat, skins,
&c., while the south west comer is occupied by the office, a one-story build-
ing ranging with the main building, and having behind it a house occupied
by one of the clerks, and a yard in which the feathered tribe live and lay
e^s. This arrangement of the buildings leaves quite a large square iu the
centre, from the middle of which generally rises a tall flagstaff, but at pres-
ent there is none — the last was blown down by the wind.

The Fort Pierre grave yard lies about a quarter of a mile south of the
fort ; it is a square piece of*^ ground which has been well fenced in but not
ornamented in any way ; it contains the bodies of a number of dead, both
Indians and Whites : the latter are in the ground and their graves are marked
with wooden crosses, or with tombstones recording their names and dates of
their death. The Indians however have followed their own customs in dis-

posing of their dead, which is to place them on a scaffold about eight or ten
feet from the ground. As you approach the yard coming from the fort, you
see elevated on a scaffold supported by rough willow poles and now half

broken down, a confiised pile of old boxes of various lengths — old trunks
and pieces of blankets hanging out. These may seem strange things for
a grave yard, but these old ooxes contain the bodies of dead Indians : they
were originally placed on a good scaffold and had piles of blankets wrapped
around them, but the scaffold has broken down from exposure to weatner
and weight of the bodies, which appear to have been heaped on without
order of any kind. If yon look over the fence to the left of this scaffold,
you will see on the ground one of these boxes which has probably fallen
down and broken open : and there the bones lay exposed, except the skull
which perhaps has been buried by some friend of the deceased; if you look
a little more closely you will see lying with the bones, a dark looking
object about three inches broad and perhaps fifteen long, tied around with
a string : this is some tobacco given to the dead to smoke in the other
world ; thev always place with their dead almost every article of common
use, for their benefit in the other world : blankets, sometimes as many as
twenty, the best the parties can afford — tobacco, sugar, coffee, molasses,
kettles of mush and other things of use. These remain undisturbed until
they decay, or are destroyed by the weather or wolves. On the east side
is B scaffold put up a few months since ; the box is a rough one, daubed
with black paint, and is surrounded by several old trunks, that were the
property of the old squaw who rests within. On the opposite side is
another scaffold, on which is placed the body of a man who died not many
months since ; you can see the scarlet blanket through the large cracks in
this rude coffin. It appears to me, that this method of burial originated
in a desire to protect tne bodies from the wolves, more than in any of their
religious opinions : they frequently bury the bones, after the nesh has
decayed entirely. On a iaree tree, a httle above the fort, is a body which
must have a great pile of blanketa on it, from the size.

Tuesday, May 38. — This morning arose early and found the day to be
clear, with a delightful, bracing air : after breakfast went up the river about
a mile, intending to cross in the flat, with some Indians going after buffalo,

103 [ 1 ]

but tbey went in such numbers, and with so manr horses, that I declined,
and came back. Spent an hour in writing, and tnen partook of some real
Baltimore oysters ; they were a year old, however, but tasted better than
I expected.

After dinner started with M'Kenzie up the river ; he shot at a prairie
squirrel andmissed ; we then went on to a cooley, in which there was a
large rock of red sand stone, seen frequently in the prairies beiowthis,
about Gre feet each way, and appears to be on the surface only. I had
no hammer and could not bring away a specimen ; the side of the hill had
many stones in it as large as a half bushel measure, but they were nearer a
limestone in appearance. I got in this little valley, specimens of five or six

Slants seen for the first time; After returning, I spent an hour in putting
ried specimens in the herbarium.
I received some information about the Indians, of which the following
is the substance The Sioux nation has no general council, but each tribe
and band determines its own affairs. These bands have some bond of
common interest analogous to the ties of our secret societies ; the Crow-
Feather-in-Cap band are pledged to protect each others wives — to
refrain from violating them, ana if the wife of one of their number b stolen
by another of their number, she is returned, the band either paying the thief
for returning the stole* property, or forcing him to do it whether he will
or not. Should a wife be violated, they are bound to aid the injured
brother, in revenging his wrong. These bands have societies analogous to
the Orders, Divisions, &.C., of our secret societies, in all parts of the Sioux
nation, and a stranger always finds friends amongst those of his own band.
One reason why this hand are thus pledged, is that so many quarrels arise
because of the women ; that say that in any camp, if a dimculty occurs, in
almost every case a woman is the cause.

The Strong Heart band is pledged to protect each other in their horses ;
should a Strong Heart from a distance, steal some horses, and they be
claimed by a brother Strong Heart, his fellows would tell him that he must
give them up, or they would rive the robbed man some of their own horses,
regarding it as the greatest disgrace to themselves, to allow him to go
away on foot. And thus, I suppose, that all these bands have some com-
mon object that unites them together ; and here we have the origin of this
system of banding ; in the absence of law it takes the place of our system
of justice. The only law among the savage tribes is that of force ; if a ■
man is injured, he must himself punish the oflender, but in most cases, to
do this, he must be supported by others, and who so proper for this as his
brother or brother-in-law ? And thus, for mutual protection, kindred are
forced to unite in bands.

To rive me some idea of their relirion, I may state that they pray to the
Great Spirit on any occasion when they feel the need of his aid, and then
promise a sacriftde of cloth, or a feast of dogs to him. Thus, a man is
struck by a ball that only sticks in his flesh, producing a slight wound ;
from this circumstance he fancies that be is not to be killed by a ball ; he
holds it up and offers a prayer to the Great Spirit, thus: "Oh, thou Great
Spirit, I believe that I am not to be killed by a ball, and, as a proof of
that belief, I will wear this ball constantly, and will give to you, exposed
to the sun and air till they rot, some blaiUcets and tohacco ; should 1 lose
this baU fr^m around my neck, then I believe that the next one will kill
me." This ball is thenceforth worn as his "medicine," and it is prayed

[1] 104

to and guarded with the most acnipulous care ; it is therefore more than a
cbarm, haviog the addition of the element of reverence and vorship.
The sacrifices of blankets, &c., are exposed on a tree or in the praine*
till destroyed. In battle, when they feel themselves in great danger, like
the warriors of old, they stop, and with outstretched enn, they pray to the
Great Spirit, and promise a sacrifice if they have success, and are careful to
fulfil their promise. But they have no idea of iiiture reward and punish-
ment; all are to be happy in the other world. They know of no moral
relation to God ; his will, as a standard of right and wrong, is never heeded,
but like the Greeks and Romans, they pray for his favor in their woist
deeds.

One of the most singular things amongst their customs is the relation
held by a man to the parents of his wife ; he never names them, speaks to
them, nor looks his mother-in-law in the face, no matter how long they
nay live together ; he is " ashamed" and thinks he shows them the highest
respect by acting so ; he gets the best lodge, and is bound to supply the old
people with meat until he has a family. The youne couple occupy the large
lodge, while the old folks live in the small one behind them, and shoiud
they accidentally meet, they hide their &ces in some way. All his deal-
ings with the old people are through hb wife. This treatment of his new
parents b the highest test of good breeding among them, and the man is
exceedingly ill-bred who violates this custom. TTie husband never men-
tions his wife's name, but in speaking to her uses the word "tche," which
good interpreters say they cannot translate ; it is not confined to this use,
but is addressed also to a man when speaking to him, in speaking of his
wife. If she have children, he speaks of her as this boy's, or this girl's
mother, naming the child. The philosophy of this custom does not occur

me, but it is a very important fact, in the attempt to ascertain the ruling
principles that make the savage to differ from uie white man. What a
contrast to the happy circle of iriends to which a marriage often intrcH
duces a man amongst us. Indians despise the female sex ; say that
woman was made oi3y for doing man's drudgery, and for the gratification
of his grossest passion ; they say that whites ought not to have women,
because they don't know how to use them — thank God we do not, in
their sense. How gratefiil we should feel to the Bible for the great social
happiness it has diffused over the world. I think that Bancroft says the
Indian language contains no word for the abstract father — that he always
says my uither or your father, &c. My brother says that it is not so m
anylndian language that he is acquainted with.

Wednesdat/y May 29. — I foi^ot to mention yesterday, how the ceremony
of sending and smoking the pipe was conducted. The different bands of
Sioux are not bound to take up arms in defence of one another ; when there-
fore, any band finds itself under the necessity of calling in the aid of others,
it payt them, and the negotiation is carried on somewhat in this way : The
band wishing aid, collects in solemn council, and the pipe and tobacco are
placed in the centre ; having no written language, of course the menage
must be conveyed verbally, and the messenger who has been chosen is in
the council. They all make their speeches m his presence, so that he may
know what to repeat ; they then, with solemn ceremony, bind up the
tobacco in a piece of skin, tie it in a particular manner, and paint it with
blue earth and vermilion. The pipe and tobacco are then put into the
hands of the messenger to be borne to the tribe to which he is sent. Having

,Goov^Ic

10» [ I ]

srm«d at their Tillage, a council of the braves is held to hear his niesBaee,
and to determine whether they vill open and smoke his tobacco. He makes
his speech, states the wrongs suffered by his tribe, tells the number of
blankets, horses, and robes that will be paid them for their services, and
awaits their answer. If they determine to accept ias offer, the tobacco is
opened and smoked ; they are then bound by the strpngest ties to meet
at the rendezvous, and to nilfil their engagements ; if they fail so to do, they
are scorned and derided by the other tribes. On their arrival at the ap-

{tointed place, the articles promised, are handed over to the partisnas or
eaders of the different bands in solemn council, and as there will not be
enough for every one, the leader, if he is generous, will give these things to
those of his band who are poor and have none. On me contrary, should
they decline the offer of this ambassador, his tobacco and pipe are returned
to him unopened, and he is dismissed wi^ some present.

The Sioux language is said to be as flexible as our own, having many
different forms ^r expressing the same idea. They have inflexions of
nouns and verbs, but no genders ; it is said to be a more difficult language
to acquire, than either the Blackfoot or Crow tongue. Every day seems to
develope something interesting relative to the Indians, and a careful ob-
server could, in a year or two, collect a volume of valuable facts relative to
their habits and languages.

Thursday, May 30. — This morning at breakfast, T was glad to learn
that the carts from the Cheyenne Indians were in sight, and soon afterward
was relieved of a good deaf of anxiety by seeing them unload my specimens
from the Bad Lands. They all came safely, except some of the bags, which
had been torn by wolves which had opened the cache, eaten up allthe par-
fleche, and opened the bags in search of something more palatable, but the
unkind ba^ gave them stones when they asked for meat. I think a number
of the small pieces of petrified wood were lost. A p^ of the morning was
pa^ed in packing the specimens in boxes, and soon I had the pleasure of
seeing one large box well filled, marked T. A. Culbertson ; another box is
also nearly fiul. Afterwards I prepared a loi^ report to Professor Saird.
AVhile engaged in writing it, I heard a gun fired in the yard, and a noise as
if a large number of persons had arrived.

On going to the window, I saw a large band of Indians on horseback, pre-
ceded oy several on foot, bearing two nags — the stars and stripes ; it was
a band of the Blackfeet tribe of Sioux. They had just arrived with about
fifty lodges, and, while squaws were putting up these, the "Braves" come
to announce themselves. They dismounted and entered the reception room
with a friendly shake of the hand to most of the whites present. A feast
was ordered for them. In the middle of the room were placed four (five gal-
lon) kettles, filled with most tempting mush, and beside these, to keep them
in countenance, were two others, equally large, fiJIed with equally tempting
coffee, already sweetened, while on the floor were fifty large hard craucers,
(pilot bread) and about one-hundred plugs of very common tobacco. The
Kidians were all around the room on chairs, if they could get them, while
those in the middle sat on the floor, enjoying the most happy anticipations.
They had no meat in their camps and had been almost starving for some time.
I entered and plafed myself full length on a bed beside Gilpin, who was
master of the feast. While the company were detained, waiting for the ar-
rival of one of the young men, I took oraervations ; and first, I noUced that
tbey had all the gravi^ of countenance usually exhibited by hungry mai of

[ 1 ] 106

a]] countries, while waiting for their dinners ; there was no langhing or jest-
ing unbecoraing the serious business before them, but the Tarious pipes were
passed round in profound silence. They were all in full dress, presenting an
funusing mixture of savage and civilized costumes ; many of them had fur
caps, decorated with handsome plumes of the ostrich feathers, dyed red;
others had on the much coveted soldier coat, and all wore highly oma-
mented Indian dress. There was a most agreeable variefy of faces, exhi-
biting ail degrees, from that of the stem old brave to the light-hearted
daring young scalp taker. There were several who had an amiable aai
intellectual expression of countenance ; they were tall, lightly framed, and
with the features of the face delicate and long. Among these -were four
brothers, noble-hearted fellows, the sons of an old man, whose bones I hope
to carry away with me.

These were the Indians that Gilpin traded with, and he said they were
all strongly attached to him — that they are most excellent men, althou^
they certainly bear a bad name with the other traders. He said that tit
yonng braves of noble families despise a mean action, such as not paying for
anything a trader might advance them on credit — that they would cast it nj
as a reproach to any one who should fail in so doing. One of thera wh
sat near recognized me as a brother of Alexander ; he asked Gilpia r
I was not, ana then gave me a friendly shake of the hand. After all wen
in, and each had his pan, (they provide their own utensils for eating here.)
this one arose, shook hands with Gilpin, myself and the Little Sear, a chie:
of another tribe, and made a short speech, returning thanks for the feast,
&c. When he closed, an old pale-faced warrior came forward, shook handi
with us, and remaining on his feet began a speech. " Ab," said Gil[Mii,
" that old fellow can speak, he is a second John Q. Adams. " I regarded
him attentively ; he was of the common height, broad shouldered, Tirith m
expansive forehead, and that style of promment and large features wind
indicates intellect and sternness. He stood erect, with his left hand holdioE
his blanket, and with his right making gestures continually. Never did I
listen to a more ready flow of language, or to a more self composed, dig-
nified speaker, whether he address^ us or turned to the Indians on either
side of him. His speech was also a complimentary one, and was short, a5
the dinner was getting cold. He concluded, and two young men took the
office of waiters; they had ho light task, and before they got through had
burnt their fingers, and made the sweat roll from their faces. It was
pleasing to observe the quiet and decorum throughout the whole scene;
each one waited patiently until his turn came, and then modestly received
his cracker, meat or coffee. The Little Bear, the old man and an invited
guest, bad no dish, and when the coffee was being served out, a large tin
mug was got for him ; the young man who was serving, instead of passing
on, waited until the mug was brought, and then gave the old man a treble
portion, being a very pleasing instance of politeness and respect. As they
drank their coffee nearly every one, especially the old man, made their
compliments to us, as we do in drinking wine. The feast went on cheer-
fully, and towards the conclusion, our old man started a song, or rather a
howl of thanks, which was caught up and echod by several. Gilpin tells
me that these songs have on^ an occasional word and that it is the same
with nearly all their songs. The tobacco was then distributed, two plugs
being given to each ; but the young men, being able to kill buffalo and buy
tobacco, gave their portion to some of their friends too old for the bunt. I

,Goov^Ic

1« [1]

noticed quite a number passing their pans, well filled with mush, to their
squaws who were standing about the door, which indicated generous and
kind feeling. This was not an act of impoUteness, but just the reverse
according to Indian etiquette, for with them it is very impolite not to
eat all that is given at a feast — you must eat or carry away. Soon
after, the parties dispersed and went to their lodges, to feast again most
probably.

On asking at what age young men were allowed to attend these feasts, I
■was told that they went to those given by whites at all ages, but that they
must gain admittance to the feasts among themselves in one of three ways —
by stealing a great many horses, by giving a great deal to the poor, or by
bringing in the scalps of a great many warriors. The men who appeared
so peaceable this afternoon were all ready to kill their fellows, on any
provocation, and, doubtless, every man of them had killed more than one.
They are regarded at the fort as the worst of all the tribes, and are blamed
for killing cattle every time they come. They have traded a large number
of robes this afternoon, and nearly all for eatables, as they were starving ;
they w^ant to trade for meat, but Alexander will not do this, on any consid-
eration, for fear of starving himself.

Oh ! for the jaw bone of an ass to murder these miserable Indian dogs j
just now, as at every few minutes during the day and night they are howl-
ing like a set of fiends ; they have not a decent bark like our well-bred
American dogs, but it is howl ! howl ! ! howl ! ! ! everlastingly — hut after
all it is their nature, for they are more wolf than dog.

Recipe for making dried Plums. — It is late, But I must note a new
way, or rather the Indian way of drying plums, for the benefit of our
economical housewives. When a lady wishes to preserve her plums,
which grow here abundantly, she gathers them, invites her neighbors, and
they spend the afternoon sociably m sucking out the plum stones, saving the
' skins, which are carefully put away and dried, and when cooked with the
scrapings of a buffalo akin, are esteemed a most rare dish. This is worthy
a place amongst "Miss Leslie's Thousand and one Receipts."

Friday, May 31. — This morning was spent in hunting antelope with
M'Kenzie ; we rode about ten miles over the hills bordenng the Missouri,
but did not get any game. The few antelopes that we saw were very wild,
and although M'Kenzie shot twice, the animals were too far off, A wolf
was seen scampering along, but at such a distance that we could get no
chance for a shot. It appears as if I were to get no game at all here ; the
best marksmen about the fort have tried to get wolves, antelope and prairie
dogs, but thus far without success. I have tried to get rabbits, and have
engaged several young Indians to bring me some, but none have yet come.
About two o'clock this afternoon, Gilpin, Alexander and myself went to a
feast in the village, given by one of the tribe which arrived yesterday. On
entering the lodge, we found but few assembled. Opposite the door or place
of entrance, through which we passed by stooping and dragging ourselves
in, was placed a good robe for our seat, and in honor of toe occasion, a
small square box containing a flag. In a short time the whole company
had assembled, consisting of perhaps twenty persons. An old man, who
came in last, returned thanks to the host for his hospitality, and then each
of the company followed in turn, all using the same form except the title by
which they addressed him : thus — " brother-in-law, I thank you for the
feast," — '* cousin, I thank you, &,c." — "uncle,I thank you, ftic." Then

[ 1 ] 108

the host gave the hand of fnendslup to the whites present, and made a
short speech, thanking us for our company, and malting some inquiries
concerning them ; to these M'Kenzie replied, and then the master of
ceremonies began to help the food, each one having provided his own dish.
The mess, consisting of two d<^, of reverend ^e and valuable services,
jud^ng from appearances, had been boiled in a large copper kettle and was
served out in very generous shares, beginning with us, and going around (o
complete the circle. I noticed tl^t £e man who sat at Gilpin's right was
not served, nor had fae a pan — this seemed very strange, as he via the one
who had made the speech to us, and appeared to be a prominent personage.
On inquiring the reason, I was told mat he was the host. " The host,"
said I, " and don't he eat V " No, etiquette requires that he shall not
partake at all of the feast." Nor did he serve it out, but simply sat as a
mere looker on. A rib was given each of us, and having tastea it, the cus-
tom of carmng away what we could not eat, was a relid' to us, and we left,
carrying with us our ribs. There was a good deal of conversation, during
which one of the old men spoke of their custom of eating dogs, and said
that they regarded dogs as we do cattle. And it is partly true ; they are ot
great service to them, being much used as pack animals, so that a dc^ feast
is really an expensive one and a great compliment. But I was surprised to
ham that this custom does not extend to the mountain Indians, who eat
them only when starving. Hodgekiss tells me that a fat pup, well boiled,
and the water changed several times, and then allowed to cool, is a delicioas
dish, and has no dog taste about it.

Before one of the lodges near where the feast was held, was the body of
a little girl who had died yesterday ; it was wrapped in a blue blanket, and
was to be placed on the scaffold as soon as the coffin should be finished. I
did not see the ceremony of conveying it to the tomb, or rather, to its rest-
ing place, but it was probaaly done in a very simple manner, as I was told
that the burying of the dead, except braves, is left principally to the
squaws. Blankets and food are placed on the scaffold for their use in the
other world ; the family of the deceased mourn very much, and if others aid
them in this sad work, they expect pay and are sure to get it.

Wtdneiday, June 5. — This afternoon I am on the ItCssouri, above Fort
Pierre, and again at leisure to write as usual. On Monday evening it rained
very heavily, and in the midst of this pouring down, an Indian arrived and
stated that the steamboat was but a few miles down the river ; this an-
nouncement electrified the whole establishment, and there were various
opinions as to the hour she might be expected. At length we all settled
down in the belief that she certainly could not come that night, but that
morning would bring her. About this time Gilpin brought me a prairie dog
an Indian had killed with a stick ; the skin was not injured in the least,
and the bairwas in excellent order, the old coat having been shed so recently.
I determined to take both skeleton and skin, as the specimens are so rare.
An Indian who happened to be in the room soon took off the sldn, and I
began to cut the meat form the bones, but it turned out to be a long job.
At length the bones were cleaned in tolerably good order, and after vanous
efforts the skin has at length been stuffed so as to make a fine specimen.
I may think myself fortunate in having thus secured a prairie d<^ ; I
am told that Audubon &iled in getting one, and Dr. Evans told mc that
he had not secured a specimen utst summer, as the skins of three he had
taken spoiled.

Tuesday morning opened rather gloomy, but in spite of mud on the earth
and clouds in the sky, all preparation was made for the arriral of the boat,
and every one was on the looi-out to get the first peep. At length, about
half-past one o'clock, the smoke was discovered as the boat b^an to round
the point below the fort ; in about half an hour after, she hove m sight, and
before very long, we had the pleasure of boarding the EI Fasso, as she lay
just below the fort. Salutes were fired on the boat and at the fort alternately,
from the time she appeared in sight until her landing, and there was a great
gathering of Indians and Whites to welcome her. A. recognized on the hur-
ricane deck, his friend Dr. Evans, of last summer, and soon I had the pleasure
of making bis acquaintance. He had visited the Mauvaise Terre last summer,
and had made quite a collection there ; this, of course, was a bond of sym-
pathy between us ; it was a real gratification for me to converse with an in-
telligent man on the su^ect of the Sad Lands. He was very free, and we
soon understood each other.

The substance of our several conversations was that we were both disap-
pointed in the appearance of the Bad Lands, in the number of petrifactions
found, and in the number of localities when found. He says he believes they
are scarcely to be obtained in any other place than the locality of the turtles
near Bear river, visited by me. Our estunate of their extent was the same,
namelv — thirty by sixty miles ; he says that white earth now runs through
the wnole lengtli of them. Before seeing him I had felt very much disap-
pointed about my collection, fearing that it would be of little value ; but was
greatly relieved to hear him say that such had been bis feelings before
reaching the States, but that he was agreeably disappointed to find that his
small collections had excited a great deal of interest in all who saw them,
and he predicted a like favorable reception for mine. The letter I had
written to Professor Baird was submitted to his inspection, as I wished to
have his opinion of what I said ; he bad attentively read through the six
pi^es, and complimented me on the accuracy of what I had there stated.
** There was no alteration that he would suggest," though he gave me a
caution I readily acted on, which was not to state any thing except on my
own personal oteervation, not depending even on the best authority, " for,"
said he " this may appear under the sanction of a well known name, and
may afterwards be discovered to be a most ridiculous error. I mentioned
to Itim that I thought, from Lieutenant Lynch's description, that similar
formations aboundecT along the Jordan ; he examined uie account in his
book, to which I have before particularly referred, and coincided in my
opinion, stating that he supposed that sucn was probably the case. That
point will be more particularly examined by those to whom we make
our reports. The formation in the Bad Lands is what is called the
tertiary.

Thurtday, June 6. — Last night the boat laid up about dark, as it would
he impossible to travel on this river at night. We must have been off very
early, as when I got up about four o'clock, we were under way, and some
distance from our starting place. We stopped before breakfast for fiiel,
the procuring of which here is not like that in the States ; there are here no
wood-yards, with the wood all cut and in proper order, but whenever a lot of
diy timber appears, if the boat needs it, she puts ashore, and all hands fall to
work cutting and carrying on board ; with tne number of bands on board, it
takes very httle time. I landed and tramped about in the wet weeds, to look
for botiuucal spedmenB, and got quite a number, although not in flower. Soon

[ 1 ] 110 1

afterwards we entered the Great Bend, into which the Shayen (Chenenne,]
river empties ; it b about five miles across, and twenty around by the rivefi
Just below this bend, while we were wooding, six Mackinaw boats belong-
ing to the oppo^tion company, and from the upper country came in sieht,
and passed down ; they appeared to be lightly laden, and were estimated td
have about thirteen hundred packs of rm>es aboard. The slate formation
appeared on the banks just above this. About twelve o'clock we passed!
the mouth of the Shayen, and stopped to wood iust above it ; it appeared to
be a small stream. No specimens gathered uiere. Afterwards we wert
detained on a sand bar for an hour or two, but found it to be no annoy-
ance, since I was engaged for a part of the morning in putting some speci-
mens in the herbarium.

We are accustomed to speak of the Indian as the Red Men of the
forest ; this was true once, when the Eastern states were peopled by them,
but now they are the Red Men of the Prairie. This, of such vast exteni,
is almost entirely destitute of timber, at least there is nothing that would be
called forest, except at some places along the Missouri. To-day we hait
seen very little timber ; most of the banks are destitute of it entirely, except
thtf willow; occasionally a point is seen well timbered with young cotton
wood. I have been told that they go from Fort Pierre, one hundred mile
above, to get timber for their boats and other purposes.

The banks to-day have been bluffs, sometimes abruptly descending to the
water's edge, and at other times having a beautiful intervening bottom. It
appears to me that although the hills look so barren, the river is more beau-
tiful than the Ohio, probably because of the green foliage of the willows
skirting the banks, and covermg many of the islands. I have several times
adEiured the fine grass on the islands at a distance, but the grass has tumec!
to willows on a near approach. These are islands newly formed from sand
bars, and they are soon covered with a growth of young willows ; this is
ve^ good for cattle and horses, and often is their only food.

I found my watch to be just one hour behind the watches from St, Louis.
This led to some conversation with Mr. Picotte about the difference of time
at the two places. Fort Pierre is only about ten degrees west of St. Louis,
which would make forty minutes difference in time. The latitude of St.
Louis is nearly thirty-eight degrees, forty-five minutes ; that of Fort Pierre,
forty-four degrees, twenty minutes, making it five degrees thirty-fire
minutes further north than the former, and four degrees twenty mmutes
north of Chambersburg.

I am told in reply to my questions on the subject, that the water of the
river might safely be said to move with a velocity of from four to seven
miles per hour, depending upon the stage of water. This corresponds verj-
well with Col. Tifton's account.

Friday, June 7 — Six o'clock A. M. — Last night we were visited by
an unusually severe thunder storm, but were not injured by it. The sun
rose beautiful and clear this morning, and promises a warm day. We are
within ten or fifteen miles of the Little Shayen now, which comes in &om
the west side of the Missouri. The banks this morning, and for several
hours at the close of last evening exhibited steep, irregular bluffs, and slate
formation on the western bank, and beautiful prairie bottoms, with gently
ascending bluffs on the east side. The strata of slate are generally hori-
zontal. Went ashore last night expecting to get some botanical speci-
mens, but found none ; a plant which I bad got at the last wooding place,

,Goov^Ic

in [ 1 ]

veiy much like the fox corn of my Virginia coUectios, was abundant.
We have cut sreen ash timber, which the captain says is better than the
dry wood we have been getting before. No locality of foasil specimens
has been seen, or rather we have landed at no such place, although I have
seen some that appeared worthy of an examination.

Half-past nine A. M. — The boat is now wooding on the western shore,
not far above the mouth of the Little Shaven ; the fiiel is cotton wood,
that has been killed by the fire, I would judge. V^etation is flourishing,
but flowers scarce ; got one new specimen and saw several old ones ; the
purple violet must have abounded here, as the beds were numerous, and I
took one merely as a remembrance of this upper country. Saw several frogs,
but was able to secure but one of the snaller kind ; have as yet seen do
snakes; saw some mushrooms. Slate still continues to appear on the
western bank.

This is certainly the most agreeable traveling I ever experienced ; the air
is delightful — the shores and trees quite green — only three of us on board,
besides the Captain, who are really companions ; myself, the only " dis-
tinguished" stranger, living on the best, and treated with the most generous
kindness and respect — all these things combine to render the trip as de-
lightful as possible. I can never forget the kindness that has afforded me
this pleasure. The musquitoes, however, are showing the cloven foot ;
they have made sundry violent attacks on my person, with malice afore-
thought, and intent of blood-drawing, and I have murdered numbers in
pure self defence.

We have just passed the mouth of the river marked Sawarcana on the
map ; its inost common name here is the Moreau, so called from an old
Frenchman who probably lived on it once. It is a small stream, although
larger than most others here. The banks of the Missouri for some mileB
below are gently ascending hills with round tops, and they are covered with
short grass, enough, however, to give them a very pleasing appearance.
The opposite bank is less hilly, but equally beautiful, and tunber rare on
both of them. I do not feel as persons generally expect to feel when tra-
veling in a wild country, inhabited only by savages, nor have I so felt at
any period of my traveling on the prairies, with very few exceptions. The
reason of this has frequently appeared to be the almost entire absence of
forests ; on the prairies, early m the season, one sees large tracts of land
covered with yellow grass that readily suggests the grain fields of his home ;
the lonely appearance of the prairie as the grass comes up reminds one of
the green pastures of home, and one almost feels as if the &rm house was
just over the hill. It was hard to realize that the beautiful fields we
saw to-day were not the fields of a cultivated farm. Just where we
are the eastern side exhibits an abrupt bank, thirty feet high, composed
of state.

Saturday, June 8 — Seven o'clock A. M. — Last evening I exhibited my
tabular view of the Sioux nation to Mr. Picotte for examination, and he pro-
nounced it to be correct, except that the estimate of souls to each lodge is
too small ; he feels sure that eight or ten is the correct average for each
lodge, and his opomon is worthy of regard.

When we landed I examined a bluff bank to confirm an Ofunion I had
formed that certain flowers seen along the bank were the same as some about
Fort Pierre, and I found myself correct. Alexander found a buffalo skeleton
wanting very few of the bones, and, as it was probably, the most periect one

[ J ] US

that we would find, I determined to bring it on board. This morning, twj
early^ we met six Mackinaw boats, belonging to the company, from tbe
Yellowstone, the Blackfeet and Crow forts. Tbey had about sixteen-bua-
dred packs, and were under the charge of Maj. Hamilton. We had encamped
only about two miles from them last night. Some of the men went out to
htutt yesterday, aud succeeded in frightening quite a number of elk, but got
none. They are plenty in the young willows on the sand bars, and aloK
the banks. We passed the mouth of the Grand River before break%t. I
have just been called out to see the skin of a buffalo calf that is indeed i
singular thing ; It has two separate heads, the bodies being joined near itie
tail; it has six feet and two tails, and has plenty of hair on it. It wastalon
from a cow in the Blackfeet country. It has been used by the Indiansfon
" medicine," and is not well enough preserved to be taken down. Banks not
BO steep as yesterday.

Eleven o'clock. — We have just been landing for wood ; the first piss
was at a watering house of one of the traders of this company — he fw-
nished us some wood but not enough. We then went about a quarter oil
mile up the river, to a watering house of the opposition, and from that 9tiD
higher to a patch of timber where we hoped to procure ash, though elii
abounded most ; we found ash box-elder, and sugar maple. The tradiif
houses are built of rough logs and are intended but for one winter ; l!i^
are built wherever a party of Indians happens to locate for the hunting
season, and traders are sent out with an equipment according to the prospect
for robes ; thev say " an outfit to trade ten, twenty, forty, one-hundred, Ad
packs." Each pack contains ten robes. Mr. Ficotte told me that about
one-hundred thousand robes would go to St. Louis tHs season from all tlf
traders in the country ; that the Indians and others would use or destnij
three times that number, probably, as each Indian must have two robes kt
his wearing apparel every year, besides those for a new lodge and other p^^
poses, so ULBt, by the calculation of an old trader, probably fonr hunaivl
thousand bnffaJo are destroyed annually.

Six o'clock. — We have just taken our tea, and are wooding on the east
side of the river; the trees appear to have been torn down, or had thor
tops torn off by a hurricane ; they are very dry and give us good www
Timber has been more abundant and better to-day than before ; we go' *
large lot of ash early in the afternoon. At the landing I gathered sobk
violets of a species different from any before seen. This has beei a p'^'
sant day again, and there is the promise of another one to-morrow.

How different does Saturday evening appear here from what it does m
the east ; there one is reminded that the next day will be the Sabbath— t'l'
day for rest and spiritual enjoyments, and he feels the satisfaction of ha™?
reached another period in his labor. He can stop and look back, or he cin
look forward and feel satisfied : but here, to-morrow will bring the saffi*
routine of travel and work.

Simdai/, June 9. — This is another clear and bright monung ; we «*
now ploughing our way not many miles below the Cannon Ball rii^fi
betwe^i t»auti(i)l banks, covered with fine grass. For the last ^^^^^
four hours I have seen but little of that abrupt and very high bluff bank "
slate and tertiary formation noticed before ; the hills hiave oeen a little dis-
tance from the water and of gentle ascent, and the timber has been J^"'^
abundant. One of the pilots killed a deer last evening. This wotJoH}
noticed on the west bank, large square blocks of sandstcaie* projectiif >"

113

tM

strata eight or ten feet above the water's edge ; they appeared for a short
distance only.

Twelve o clock. — We have just passed the mouth of Cannon Ball river;
the bank abore it is steep bluffs, composed of thick strata of sand stone ;
the opposite bank is gently rolling prairie, until it meets the hills about half*
a mile or a mile back.

Six o'clock, P. M. — The banks this aflemoon have been, generaUy level,
or rolling prairie, sometimes ascending gradually from the water's edge, and
in other places, having a perpendicular rise of eighteen or twenty feet";
these last appear to be alluvial deposite, sometimes recent, and covered with
a thick growth of small timber, and again having a growth of larse timber,
in<licating that years had elapsed since the soil had been formed. In several
places high bluff banks rose from the water's edge, composed principally of
sand stone, the strata sometimes very much inclined, and at others horizon-
tal. We are now just below Apple Creek, and, on each side of the river,
nearly opposite, are two small hills, entirely bare of vegetation, called the
Peeled Hills ; they seem to be the same formation as those in the Bad
Lands.

Manday, June 10 — Six o'clock, A. M. — ^We are now, and have been for
several hours on a sand bar, just at the head of Heart River Island ; W;e
have been working hard to get off, but we may be here all day. This
island is covered with a &ne growth of cotton wood. Last night, after
landing, a buffalo bull was killed by some of the men, and several others
were seen, the first that have been since we left. Four men started out im-
mediately after landing to walk nearly all night and make a hunt to-day.

I forgot to notice what I had learned a few days ago of the custom of the
Indians in the treatment of the aged and inlirm. Hodgekiss was speaking^
of a certain young Indian who had been killed in battle with the CrowSj
and said that he had but one fault to find with him ; that he would beat hb
old father, and that he had seen him strike the old man with a club and leave
' him almost lifeless. On inquiring if such was the custom,- 1 was told that it'
was, and instances were cited by several to show that it was common for the
Indians to leave the old to peri^ on the prairies. Aji instance was mentioned-
of-a blind Crow Indian having been taken to a battle in the hope that he
might be killed — of one very old man having been shut up in some trading
house and left to perish — of an old squaw having been leit in camp to die,
and, being found by the traders, was kept through the winter ; in the spring,
being sent back to her people, she was put in a small boat and cast adrift on
the river. A small boy is now at Fort Pierre, who was found by a trader
and brought in ; he had been left to die, because he had received a very
severe injury in one of his legs, and would have been a burden to his friends.
I, myself, noticed one day, on the arrival of a large band of Blackfeet, ^at
an old man, who was said to be one-hundred and four years old, if I am not
mistaken, was very badly clad, and had a wretched appearance. It seemed
as if the young men had left him to provide for his own wants. This custoni
of neglect and cruelty to the aaed does not necessarily arise from a cruel
unfeeling disposition ; it probably come from two causes — their views of a,
future state and their mode of life. The former leads them to suppose diat'
if these aged persons die, they will go to a state of happiness and aoundaneef
whereas now they are a burden to themselves and friends ; the latter makes
it a great trouUe to their friends to transport them in their frequent chaneea
Mi8.-8.

of abode, and it must be imposBible for Eome, in their feeblesness, to endun
the privationB and exposure inseparable from such a mode of life.

Twelve o'clock M. — For the laat three hours we have been wind-
bound just below the mouth of Heart river. I have taken a walk up the
high bank, and found on its side three new flowers, of which I took speci-
mens. I also secured a number of small stones, which I picked up on tlit
tops and the sides of the blufia ; the land back of the river is rolling prairie,
on the opposite shore it is low and covered with timber. A little aban
where the boat b, I noticed that quite a large part of the bank had sunli,
some of tt probaly eighty feet, and some of it only forty. I approached il
in descending from the high bluff beyond, of which the sunken portion must
have once formed a part; the descent was steep but not dangerous, and con-
ducted me to a plot of ground which appeared to have oeen broken off
short from the upper part of the hill, and sunk about forty feet. The su^
face was mostly covered with grass, and of the same general level, altlioiig)i
much divided by large cracks running in various directions through it, ana
at its edge towards the river, rising irregularly into peaks above the otb«
part. 'This part I examined with some care to find fossils, but saw nothii^
that indicated their presence ; a small yellow flower was gathered — the i>ii|
place where it had oeen seen as yet. The formation in the side of the m
so well exposed by this great depression of a part of it was, yellow sUtf>
1 next descended to the lower part of the surucen land, towards the rim-
Here it was much broken up anu descended by irregular steps to the valfi
level. The same slate formation prevailed here as above, and amongsl ''
there was quite an abundance of a crystal, specimens of which I broufli'
with me. I walked down to the boat along the same shore, and notice
that at several places in the very high slate bluff, beneath the yellow strat)
formation, there were strata of what appeared to be black slate, but it
crumbled to pieces when pressed slightly, and had the appearance of charrn
bark — a piece was brought along. The whole extent of this sunken grouna
was probably seventy-five yards long and forty broad. An evidence of
its being recent is that an Indian traO on the hill side may be distinr>l]
traced on the surface of the ground below. I noticed here, as at all otli»
points along the river, the absence of animals of the make kind ; not >
single snake has been seen .since leaving Fort Pierre, so for as I know, »w
ve^iave been in the thickest bushes, among dead trees, and have torn dovo
old houses, but not even a rat has been seen. The young r^ts that I g°'
come from an old tree in the woods.

Six o'clock P. M. — We have a delightful evening, and have just enjoyw
one of the most beautiful views yet presented to us ; for several miles »l'^ng
die west bank there extended a prairie covered with fine grass, and nsiog
gradually to low hills at a httle distance from the water. Timber is ■nor'
plenty to-day. Game is abundant also ; our supper table afforded niw
delicious buffalo steak, antelope steak, and elk meat, besides our usual
dishes.

Tuesday, June 11 — Seven o'clock, A. M.—l was aroused this morning
bj the firing of guns in rapid successicm, and the hurried tramp of men on
toe deck, which indicated that something was going on. On rising, I f"^
that seven buffalo had been seen crossing the river, and the men nad bwjj
firing at them. Two were killed by shots, and Mr. Picotte, killed a tiur«
with the axe, cutting his back bone through in several places. They bw
abeady hauled one on board when I got forward, but I saw the drawi"?

lis [ I ]

up of the others, and some idea of their size mar be formed, from the fact that
ten men, with the assistance of ropes and pulleys, were scarcely able to get
them on deck. They were immediately cut up, and, tt^ther with our
former supplies, have made us rich in meat — how it would excite an epicure
to be seated at our table laden as it is with such a variety of game.

I was interrupted in writing the above, and did not resume until I hwl
finished the job I had undertaken ; tliia was no less than to skin and preserve
the bead of one of the buSalo bulls. The head with the skin and Hesh oa
it, was very heavy, as they all are, and it is not much lighter aiter being
scraped for preservation. It required several hours constant work to skill
this one and prepare it properly, and even then I had to leave it unstuffed,
as nothing was to be had for this operation. I hope, however, that it will
reach the east in safety, and give my friends some idea of what a buffalo
looks like. While I was working on this, the boat was aground for a con-

I siderable time, and had great dimculty in getting through a very bad place.

. We had expected to have reached and passed FortvCIark to-day, but wiH
not be able to do so now. The banks have not presented that abrupt steep-

; ,ness noticed before, but beautiful slopes, covered with the finest pasture, and

, occasionally a large band of buSalo grazing.

I Six o'clock, P. M. — Another lovely evening, beautiful banks, Jiod a
pleasant breeze, while the boat is in motion. Expect to reach Fort Ulark
to-morrow morning.

Wtdnesday, June 13. — Last night we lay at an old Ree viU^^, about
fifteem miles below Fort Clark. During the night we had a storm, whick
we had been led to expect from the intense heat of the day. We had unite
a storm of another kind also, although not a dangerous one. Three Indiana
who had been out hunting had seen us during the day, and came on board
about twelve o'clock. The only injury resulting from this visit wif that
my brother and Mr. Picotte lost their sleep, as they bad to remain up with
them till daylight. I was awakened by a very eloquent part o£ a ^leeck
made by one ot them, but soon fell again into a sound sleep.

About six o'clock this morning we came in sight of Fort Clark ; it is a
small fort, about one-hundred feet in length on each side, and stands on the

, \ett bank of the Missouri just below the Ree village. As we came round the
bend a number of patches of ground under culbvation appeared aloi^ the
river, and a very pleasing view was presented by the praine curving inward
for several miles, and the inner bank having the fort and village on it. Our
arrival was marked by salutes from ship and shore, end as soon as we
landed, numbers of Indians came aboanl. I thought their features were
more decidedly like those of the English than the features of the Sioux,
and my ear inuncdiately caught the diSerence in the language. If I could
speak either tongue I might explain this difference, but as it is, I feel aa if
an opinion should scarce^ be regarded. On first listening to the iSioux
language, it appeared to me that to characterize it as an aSectionate Iai>-
guage would best describe the impression made upon me by its tones ; in the
Ree langauge this is not the case ; I thought that it was pitched on a hi^er
key and had a harsher sound, and yet this may not express the true diner-
ence. Their features express the same variety of expression as I be£>re
noticed in the Simix. Toe Ariccarecs, or Rees as they are CMnmonly called,
are said to he great thieves, pilfering any thing they can lay their hands oo —
they are also ^reat b^^rs like all other tribes. If a feast and some pM*-
ents arc not given to tnem, they injure the boat, and perlia|iB would take the

[ 1 ] 116

Uvcs of some of the traders in the winter season. Therefore a feast of
coffee and bisctuts was given to all who came on board, and sugar, coffee,
flour, bificuit, tobacco and ammunition were distributed amongst them, ^th
all of which they aj^ared to be well satisfied. Vfe were invited into the
village, and Mr. Kcotte and Alexander determined to go ; although last year
tbey Dad served the latter in a very treacherous manner.

One of their chiefs had gone down to Council Bluffs on the company's
boat a year before, although much against the will of Mr. Ficotte, who bad
paid him not to do so for two years before. But on this occasion he would
m in spite of all apposition, and was killed by the Pawnees. The Rees blafoed
uie company for his death, and determined to make them pay for it. On
the arrival of the boat last year, Alexander was invited to a feast in the
Tillage, and went, accomjianied only by the young man in charge of the
fort. He found them all m a large hut armed to the teeth, and then fir^
learned that dissatisfaction existed among them. They charged him with
the murder of their chief, and in the most threatening manner, demanded

Ey for his blood. My brother was unarmed, and the people in the boat
ew nothing of what was doing in ihe village. They had a stormy ses-.
sion at the feast, but at length all was settled by his promising to pay
them^wo good horses ; they then allowed him to depart in salety, and
at the proper time he sent the horses. Amongst all the Indians blood may
be paid for, which is a fact, I believe, common to all heathen nations.

To-day four of us went to the village and made a "complimentary, call,"
AS we had not time for a feast. We were received in a large mud lodge or
hat, biult in a circular form, having a diameter of about thirty feet. Tbe
entrance is through a small projection, corresponding in design, and some-
what in shape to our small covered porches. The lodge was airy, clean and
bad np unpleasant smell in the inside. The gentleman of the house received
us politely, placed a mat on the ground, then four or five robes, and taking
lis each by the hand seated us on them. Then he ran out, and standing on
the top of his house invited the people to call and see us. While they were
assembling I made observations.

The Rees do not use the skin lodge. The one we had entered was of
their usual fashion, and was built somewhat in this way ; a circular foun-
dation often thirty feet in diameter, is dug about twelve inches deep ; in
the middle of this a platform about ten feet square and twenty feet high, is
made by erecting four upright posts, and on these are placed four others
horizontally ; then around the circular foundation are placed a proper
number of upright posts, on which are again laid horizontal timbers, and
against these rest small poles set very close together and one end stuck
in the ground. These are probably five feet in length ; then from the
horizontal poles to those of the square platform in the middle, and beyond
them, extend other poles laid as close together as possible, and of such a
length as to form an entire roof, except ahole in the centre for the p^nage
•of smoke. On the sides and top dirt is thrown, and the house is finished.
At the entrance a small projection is biult of poles, extending probably sii
feet beyond tha nuun wall, and covered ; this protects them the better
from the snow and rain. The external appearance is that of a rude cone,
set on a base about five feet high, and tbrty feet in diameter. On entei^
ing, you must stoop, but as soon as you pass the skin door, your head
may again becoise erect.

We were conducted to tbe place of honor, opposite to- and facing tbe

117 [ 1 ]

door. To our right, along the wall, were arranged sereral bedsteads,
rudely made, wbile to the ]m, a part was cut off by a couple of poles, for
the accommodation of the horses ; the chickens had a coop in one comer,
but roam at lai^e on most occasions, and the centre is used for a fireplace.
The lodge was clean, airy, light and comfortable, and there was plent}' of
room for more than those, who I suppose, inhabited it. Behind us were
hung bows with spears on the ends, and two rude instruments of muuc,
made of a number of pumpkins. I believe something is put in the inside trif
them and shaken, but I have not learned the modus operandi. There were
two squaws present, the elder of whom was very polite, the younger one
stood back, either because she was the younger wile, or perhaps the wifeX^
another man. I was quite pleased with both of them. Near the fire-
place a small wooden mortar was sunk in the ground, for pounding corn.
The large and high room appeared rather scarce of funiiture. I have thus
attempted to describe the appearance and structure of the lodge in which we
■were, and this is the general appearance of all others. Many persons in the
States live in much more filth and much less comfort. About twe^ty of the
men having assembled, the owner of the lodge gave ua the' right hand again
in token orfriendship, and made a short speecK, which we replied to, through
an interpreter, and then we left.

The village is composed of two-hundred lodges, as near as I could learn
from the interpreter, and is built upon the top of a bluff bank rising about
serenty-five feet perpendicular from the water. The huts are placed very
irregularly, sometimes with very narrow, and sometimes with quite broad
spaces between them. A number of platforms of poles, as high as the
lodges themselves, are interspersed among them for the convenience of dry-
ing meat and dressifio; robes. I noticed a numberof squaws busily employed
in dressing robes. I left the village, much pleased with my visit, and with
the pohteness with which we had been treated.

dn passing to the fort, I otcervefl a great number of hillocks scattered
over the prairie, and these, I was told, are graves, this people having
abandoned the old method of scaSblding their dead. Other more agreeable
sights on the prairie also attracted my attention, and these were little
patches of com and pumpkins, generally enclosed by a slight bush fence. I
forgot to mention that over the fire in the lodge were two bundles of what
appeared to be hay tied up in skins ; these, I was told, contained grains of
corn put up in hay, and hung so as to be heated ; if the grains germinate (hey
are planted, and tliose that do not are left out. This com is small and on
small ears, but Mr. Ficotte says it contains a larger amount of flour than
our com. We spent a short tune in the fort, and found it to be small and
the buildings old, but everything very neat and clean. I saw there a young
antelope, which a squaw allowed to suck from her breasts ; it is said to be
quite common for sijuaws to suckle young animals, often raising in this man-
ner cubs of the grizzly bear. I have noticed that they often allow their
children to suckle till much older than with us. I have seen children four
or Eve years old taking a good tug at the maternal fount.

About nine o'clock the boat was off again, having landed all her freight,
and taken in some Ree corn. The hills opposite the fort and a little above
it, are steep, irregular and of the whitish clay {tertiary, I think,) formation.
The tops of several have a light red appearance as though they might be
of pumice stone, such as I picked up last night at the landing. The bill at
the village was covered with men, women and children, but as the top of

1 1 ] ns

it is level, no generaF view of the village could be obtained. Thb
village is one orsad celebrity ; in the year 18 , it vas inhabited by the
Mamlans, then quite a large tribe, but in that year the small pox passed
over the country, and swept oS* nearly the whole nation. Many of tbern,
in despair, seeing all their kindred tleBO or dv-ing from the loathsome disease,
cast themselv^ into the river from this high bluff. The small remnant of
the Mandans now occupy a few lodges about five miles above the village,
or have been incorporated with the Rees and Gros Ventres.

Above the Ree village stretches a fine bottom, on which I was pleased to
see quite a number of squaws at work putting in their summer crop ; it
rAninded me of some of the James river bottoms in Virginia, We are just
DOW passing quite a long stretch of high steep bluffs on the west shore ;
formations like that of hills in the Bad Lands — strata of a red slate, lilce
half burnt brick, and occasional spots of a slate-like substance that looks
as if it had just been exposed to the fire. Probably these are the appear^
uices that indicate former volcanic action. I wished that I could land and
search for fossils.

The Rees offA- many advantages for missionary labor. They have one
fixed place of residence, except for a few months m winter, when they go to
some other place for wood and meat, but they return again to the village at
Fort Clarh. They cultivate corn not only for their own use, but also
enough to make it a very prominent part of trade, and they are said to be
peaceable and generally well disposed. The same things are said to be true
of the Mandans and Gros Ventres, and the old traders say they are more
like the whites in their ways than any other Indians.

Thursday, June 13. — Last evening for miles, we had on both banks,
principally on the east, the very irregnlar steep and wliite colored hills men-
tioned before as being somewhat similar in their materia] to those in the
Bad Lands. I noticed, however, that sand was the principal component
while the white clay occurred in occasional strata only. About five o'clock
one of the pilots brought me a very young Sand Hill crane which I put in
alcohol, and I intend preserving the skeleton of a larger one, which was
not in a condition to skin.

About six o'clock, A. M., we reached Fort Buthold, one of the company's
forts, situated on the east bank of the Missouri, about sixty miles above
Fort Clark. It b built on a high bluff just on the north side of the Gros
Ventre village. It is a small fort and without particular interest. Mr.
Kipp, who has it now in charge, has kept it in good order if we may judge
from its neat and cleanly appearance. The prairie extends beautifully east-
ward from the village, and affords fine pasture for the horses of the inhabi-
tants.

On the plane near the fort is the burying place, studded with many
scaffolds on which the dead are placed, and also many graves in which they
have been buried. Many of the scaffolds were partly broken down and
had deposited their burdens on the ground where they lay exposed unsightly
and forbidding. A number of skulls were kicking about the ground, and
had it not been for fear of arousing the Indians, I could easily have secured
MX or seven good ones ; as it was, I picked up but one, and wrapping it in
my coat marched boldly to the boat, and got it safely in my trunk without
any suspicions being excited. The village, with its mud lodges, differs
nothing in looks from the Ree village described yesterday, except in one
particmar, that is, the inhaUtants are now engaged in surroundbg it with

,Goov^Jc

119 [ 1 ]

pickets. Tlie logs are well prepared and are all up except on tlie west
side ; a bastion with loop holes is placed in the middle of each side. This
[ucket is of course to protect the inmates against enemies by whom they
4re frequently attacked.

Between the fort and the village stands a log house which belonged to a
man the Indians killed there last winter. He killed an Adsinlboine and the
Gros Ventres destroyed him in revenge. Many of them came on board and
had their usual feast and presents, and then marched off in great glee. One
of their chiefs, a tall sharp loooking man, is on board going up with us, and
also several others, one of whom is a Crow Indian with his family. He has
been visiting at the village, and is the only one that escaped from a small
hunting party that was cut oS by a small war party of Sioux, a few days
ago. I noticed nothing peculiar about the Gros Ventres, except that their
skin was generally much lighter than that previously seen. Some of the
squaws were very light, closely approaching white. Their hands and feet
appear unusually small and neat, and their teeth, which are much shown,
are generally eood. They have bright eyes, very cheerful countenances,
and generally slender bodies well fitted for activity. Their extensive com
fields show signs of industry, covering as they do, the bottom grounds. I
have no doubt that a prudent, patient missionary, offering to instruct them
in the arts of civilized life would be well received.

Three and a half o'clock, P. M. — We have just passed the mouth of
the Little Missouri River, coming from the South ; about one-hundred and
twenty miles above Fort Clark. Mr. Picotte has just confirmed what I
had previously heard about the abandonment of the aged and infirm by the
Indians. He says that the Indians further east on Lake Superior and
Winnepeg, are worse in this respect than the Missouri Indians.

He also informed me that since be first knew them in 1820, the Mandaiu^
Rees and Gros Ventres, had probably lost five-sixth's of their number. At
the time mentioned, they were a large and flourishing people, but now the
Rees and the Gros Ventres have each but one ordinary sized village, and
the Mandans a very small one. The same thing is true of every tribe with
a fixed place of residence. He assigned for the fact the foDowing rea-
sons : — When they remain long in one place the wood becomes scarce and
they are obliged to encamp in winter at a distance from their residence in
order to obtain fuel, but on account of danger from enemies and rise of
water in the spring, they are obliged to return before winter breaks up, and
to enter damp and cold houses which have been exposed all winter to the
frost and snow ; consequently many, especially the young and the aged, die
of colds or other disease originating in the same cause. Also when they
live in villages and inhabit mud houses they are more exposed to epidemics}
uul again, in a fixed position their enemies always know where to find and
surprise them while working in their fields.

These are the reasons why he thinks that for years past those tribes
having fixed habitations, have decreased in numbers, and uesides the above
mentioned nations, he cites as instances, the Otoes, Omahaws, Pawnees and
several others. While these have decreased, the Sioux, a wandering peo-
ple, have greatly increased, their mode of life giving them the advantage
in all the particulars mentioned.

The river has been on the rise for several days, and I have frequently
thought of the theory, that when a stream rises it is higher in the middle
than at the shores, and consequently the drift wo9d floats near the shores.

,Goov^Ic

while in falling water tbe stream is lowest in the middle, and will therefore
carry the drift (here. My observation on two rises in the Missouri do not
confirm that theory. I noticed that the drift has always been found in the
Ciuxent whether that htf near the shore or in the middle, and Capt. Durack
confirms this opinion, saying that such is the case generally in rising and
falling waters; the drift dways floats m the current. The shores to-day are
generally gently ascendii^ — occasionally abrupt and of sand and white
clay.

Friday, JuTte 14. — We are still in the Big Bend, which we entered
last nisht, and shall not be out of it until we reach Knife river coming in
from the north. This I take to be the stream marked on the map. Onion
creek. There is also a Knife river below, on the south side, a few miles
above Fort Clarki The Little Missouri is placed wrong on the map ; it
comes in a few miles below the Big Bend, not above. This bend is about
ten miles across and thirty around. The weather is windy and cloudy —
buffalo are plenty ; early this morning some of our hunters went a-head of
our boat and killed three bulls, which we stopped to take in. Soon after
this was accomplished, a small herd was discovered trying to get up the
bank on the west side, having just crossed the river. Many guns were
fired, and three hulls killed, which we took on board. Further on, we
overtook a large herd of cows in the middle of the river, and had the engine
not been stopp«i, we would have run them down ; but as it was, all, even
the calves escaped, with no other harm than a very great fright.

The banks thus far on this bend have been Mauvaise Terre. We had
to-day for lunch, one of the dainties of this country — the milk gut of a
buffalo roasted on coals. It tastes somewhat like white pudding, having
in it a substance that when cooked has also the appearance of stuffing.
Mr. Kcotte in speaking of the dislike persons in the States have to such
things, says, that in the north, the dung of the reindeer is eaten and very
much relished, and that he himself has eaten it ; it is esteemed because of a

Gculiar weed eaten very much by the animals and is taken out of them
fore being completely digested.

Evening. — Have traveled finely to-day ; river continues rising ; banks,
prahie and bad lands ; passed Knife river about noon, and this evening
.White river, which is about fifty miles from the British dominions, and said
by some to be the most northern point of the river. We shall reach Fort
Union probably on Sunday.

Saturday, June 15, — Last night we landed early, because of heavy
clouds in the west, threatening a severe storm of wind and rain ; it rained
all night, but the storm was by no means as severe as it threatened to be.
I went out on the prairie as soon as we landed, and got several new flowers
for the herbarium. During the morning, the banks have exhibited fre-
quently the burned appearance, and some of the hills have been very high,
irr^ular and steep. About eleven o'clock we stopped to take in wood, ami
I had the first opportunity of examining the hills that have appeared so
often, exhibiting signs of containing fossil remains. As I pushed my way
along a buffalo path, through the bushes, I canght a glimpse of the firat
snake 1 haue seen since leaving Fort Pierre ; it was hurrying off and got
away before I could overtake it. I next got specimens of several beau-
tiful flowers growing at the edge of the woods on the small hills. I then
pressed on to the large hills ; they are about sixty feet high, composed

.V Google

121 [ 1 ]

principally of thict strata of sand stone irith a pcrpendiailar ledge towards
the river.

I examined along the side of one of the largest hills for fossib, bat found
none, except a very small piece of bone. At the base of this hill I found
the large petrified roots of which No. 37 is a part; it was taken from
a stump about three feet in diameter, hollow in the middle, and about sis
inches thick ; nearly the whole stump rising about one foot above ground,
^till remains. Within a few inches of it are the remains of another, appa-
rentJy still larger. The formation is different from that of the Bad Lands
of White river. Some of the stones No. 36 came from this spot ; there
was quite a heap of red colored stone in this place, which exhibited every
appsarance of having been under the action of fire. One piece in particular,
about the size of half a bushel measure appeared to have been melted to
nearly a liquid state, and then stuck together. If these red places were
once volcanoes, the country must have been fiill of them. Coal cropped
out just at the base of the burnt hills towards the river. Large veins of it
were seen at least once this morning, in one of the steep banks immediately
above the water.

I asked Mr. Picotte aboat the smoking hills mentioned by Nicollet and
was informed that he himself had seen smoke coming from them for years
at a time, but that years ago they fell in and since then have ceased to
emit smoke. They are about fifteen miles below Fort Lookout 0(i the east
side of the river. "

A few hours ago we met a skiff from Fort Union, in which were Mr.
Clark, of the Blackfoot Post, the Crow interpreter and two men; they
were coming to meet the boat and had left the fort this morning, not ex-
pecting to meet us in several days. Alexander and Joe Howard have just
left us to ride to the Fort, where they will arrive in four or five hours. We
have for some time been passing along a beautiful prairie, and although the
day has been very windy, the evening is calm and lovely. The sun set
beautifully a few minutes ago, and it appeared as though I had got beyond
simset, for it seemed to go down almost behind us, probably because our
course is more southwest.

I feel rather sad at the prospect of parting so soon vrith my brother who
has been so kind to me. May God bless him and his for his goodness to one
of the humblest followers of Christ.

Miynday, June 17. — Yesterday afternoon at four o'clock the boat landed
at Fort Union, having made the trip of twenty-five hundred miles in thirty-
six days and four hours, the quickest one on record. We were received
very kindly by the gentlemen of the post, Mr. E. T, Denig and Ferdinand
Culbcrtson. They showed me quite a good coHection of stuffed skins made\
by them for Profes.sor Saird, at the request of my brother. This must \
have cost them a great deal of labor and considerable expense, and they j
deserve many thanks from the students of natural history for whose benefit ■^
this collection was made.

Fort Union is very much like Fort Pierre in its structure and about the
same size, the principal difference being that here they have stone bastions,
and a cannon mounted above the gate. A room also is constructed against
the wall by the gate, in which they used to trade through a small hole
about one foot square in the wall. Now however they trade at the retail
store inside of the fort. The Assiniboines and the Crees are the people
principally trading here- The Crees are from the British poraessions, and

[ 1 ] 133

are there called Re-nis-te-DOS ; they visit the Missouri but once a jo''-
About six lodges of the Assiniboines are encamped at the opposttioa fort a
few miles below, and they were all here when we arrived. This occasioned
some trouble and has been near making a serious diHiculty as we had tvro
Crow Indians on board, and the Crows and Assiniboines began hostilities a
few days ago. Some of the Assiniboines wanted to kill the Crows on
board, and our gentlemen had to protect them, by putting one in tJie
fort and concealing the other in one of the state rooms. One of these
Crows is a great warrior, although still a young man ; his name is ihff
Horse-guard, and although not thirty years old, lie has been engaged in
about thirty expeditions, always returning with hair (scalps) or horses, and
getting his party back in safety. He is a half breed and has the features of
a white man. I should not judge him to be naturally a blood-thirsty man
from his looks, but he is very brave and says if they would let him out in
the prairie he would whip all the Assiniboines here. His son, a fine look-
ing boy, is with him. The Assiniboines are here the worst dressed and
meanest looking Indians I have seen, but this is partly owing to their being
in mourning for the young man whom the Crows killed the other day. The
cause of quarrel was this : a war party of the Assiniboines attacked some
Crows, mistaking them for Blackfeet and killed two ; an attempt was made
to settle the difficulty but the Crows killed a young Assinibome who had
strayed from the camp while the negotiations were going on, and now war
is fully declared.

Fort Union is situated on the east bank of the Missouri, about four miles
above the mouth of the Yellowstone, and has a very beautiful prairie run-
ning back of it to the hills. On the same side, just below the mouth of the
Yellowstone, is situated the fort of the opposition company of which
Harvey and Joe Picotte are the principal men. The Missouri and Yellow-
stone come together — one from the north and the other from the south,
and neither makes a bend beiore their junction, so that it would appear
like the same river did not the currents run in opposite directions ; after
their junction of course the stream is very large ; just now the Yellow-
stone IS the larger, although both of them are very full.

The bell is ringing preparatory to a start for a point still farther up the
river. We shall probably go much higher than any other boat has ever gone.
Mr, Denig was so kind as to present to me a very fine bone bow with a
valuable quiver and arrows, which I shall keep as a memento of this trip.

Ta>elve o'clock — ■ Eight or ten miles above Fort Union on the Missouri ;
country more level than below, and banks well timbered all along ; bills
lower, and the impression that of a more open country ; bad lands appear
occasionally olF the river and in perpendicular banks from the water.

Otic o'clock. — We are now passing a small level prairie, on the west
bank of the river ; it is covered with fine grass and has the appearance of
a beautiful meadow. Hills to the north, a mile off — light clay intermixed
with white earth — rolling prairie probably beyond. At the point in the
iirst ^reat bend, about ten miles above the Fort, channel seven to nine
feet deep, point well timbered, vegetation backward — the yellow dried
^rass still gives its colors to the plain, although the new grass is coming on;
uiis has been observed for several days past. Little Muddy creek (Bu-bue)
a small stream about ten yards wide, comes in from the north, opposite the
extremity of this point.

We are now passing out of this large bend, which is about half a mile

, Go(>^Ic

1S3 t » ]

across, and six or eiriit around. Ten or twelve antelopes were seen grazing
quietly on the beautdiil prairie, but they scampered up the hill as soon as
they caught a sight and a smell of the boat. Wild geese Have been seei^ at
three different tunes on this bend, and each time in pairs accompanied with
their young. Saw a beaver this afternoon. We are now half a mile above
the bend on the south side ; veins of coal in a bank iifty feet perpendicular
above the river. The formation is sand'stone.

Appearance of the action of fire on the tops of several hills ; stones
being of a red brick color. Just passing a place where there are high hills
on both sides ; those on the south are on from the river ; those on the north
are close to the water ; they are high and steep with much of the red burnt
clay. Wood plenty.

We are now approaching a spot on the north shore where the burnt
appearances of the earth assumes a form more resembling a crater than at
any other place I have ever before seen. They appear m section on the
perpendicular face of the lull, the wall like appearance and the circular
form may be easily traced. They are red like the remains of an old brick
kiln broken in two, and the one half washed away. I do not pronounce the
formations to be really the craters of extinct volcanoes, but smiply wish to
convey an idea of their appearance. These appearances have been seen
continually to day where the hills approach the river. Coal also here ap-
pears in strata about two feet thick. The hills are formed of a soft sand
stone and exhibit no soil except the burnt earth. Opposite this is a fine
Ijottom, but the hills beyond exhibit an appearance similar to these.

Five o'clock. — We are now taking in fuel at a point on the south side,
where we have the greatest abundance of dry wood. I found here the first
roses I have seen — indeed the very first buds, for below this there was no
signs of a rose coming out. The appearance of the action of fire still con-
tinue in great abundance on both sides. I was informed that the white
earth of these hills becomes of a red color when subjected to heat. These
red places do not extend far into the earth and are rarely more than five or
six feet deep ; below them appears, the light colored earth.

Six and a half o'clock. — A little below the Big Muddy River a change
takes place in the appearance on either side ; on the north the hills leave
the river, ascend gradually, and are covered with grass, and a broad bot-
tom intervenes ; on the south the change is similar but not so great.

We are encamped just above the mouth of Big Muddy River, about fifty
or sixty miles from Fort Union, This river is probably the one marked
Ibex on the map, as I can learn nothing of a river of this name firom those
knowing the country. Thrre is a long and wide prairie here.

Tuesday, June 18. — This morning the appearance of the country is
about the same, prairie to the north and hilly to the south; hills with short
grass showing occasionally the white earth. The Mackinaw boat in tow
■was sunk this morning by the steamboat taking a sheer and running against
the shore. Some hunters sent out last night, have just come in, and I
have been so fortunate as to get an elk calf, taken from the mother, and an
elk bom some weeks in the velvet, both of which I have in alcohol. I
again experienced the kind liberality of Mr. Picotte, who furnished me
alcohol, without which it would have been impossible to keep these speci-
mens, as my own supply was almost entirely gone before I reached Fort
Pierre. It is not the pecuniary value of the article that makes this so great
a favor, but the impossibility of getting any more for a year to come.

,h;..G00gIf

[I] m

Ten o'clock, — The country continues more even thftn yesterday — some
fine prairie — good timber — just now passing some hills on the south side,
where big horns are abundant. The hills are not as high as those seen
yesterday. They are very irregular — covered with sand stone and rise
perpendicularly from the water — swallows of a smaller kind than those
in the states, have built their nests in the sides. A little up the river, slate
appears. There is no sign of coal or of the red lands so frequently seen
yesterday,

Tioo clock. — I have just returned from a short excursion to Elk Horn
prairie, about eighty miles from the fort ; the object of attraction was a
remaakable pile of elk horns. The boat stopped and let us out about haH
a mile from the pile, when Messrs. Picotte, Clark, Culbertson and myself,
with twenty-five or thirty men stated for the horns ; some ran ahead and
by the time I got there .one of the men had already mounted the pile and
was handing down the horns. The report was that all the horns were at-
tached to the head and that the pile was of a wonderful size. The distant
view, for it was seen like a white monument several miles off, tended to
confirm these reports, and I thought that here at least there had been no
exaggeration. On close examination, however, I found it only about fifteen
feet high and twenty or twenty-five in circumference. But even this ^ras a
wonderful pile to lie made entirely of elk horns. There was not a single
head to be found ; the horns were piled close together, and as there were
no heads the whole probably were horns that haJbeen shed from the living
animal.

What a number of elk must have been here to have furnished such a
number of horns. As to the origin of the pile no certain information can
be gained. Old traders say it has been here to their knowledge for twenty
years, and how much longer they caimot tell. Old Indians say they are
Ignorant of the time or occasion of its being made. There were originally
two piles, but fbr several years past they have been mingled into one.
The prairie is from two to six or ten miles wide, and many miles long.
It is further remarkable for being the place where the steamer Assiniboine,
belonging to the company wintered several years ago. She had come up
"this far and could not get down again because of low water. In the spring
" she returned and was Durnt, intentionally it is said, below the Mandans.
We are therefore higher up the Missouri than any other boat has ever been.
The country contbues to be less hilly than yesterday. I procured several
flowers as mementos of Elk Horn prairie.

Four o'clock. — We are aground o|M)osite the Riviere au Tremble which
comes in from the north, ninety miles from the Fort. This river is larger
than any we have seen before. About an hour ago we struck the first sand
bar encountered since leaving the Fort, but were off again in a moment ;
no snags have been seen except very close to shore. None of the high
irregular hills have appeared this afternoon, but very wide rolling prairies
are seen on the north side. The English name of the stream is Quaking
Ash creek. A little above, nearly opposite, is the mouth of apparenth
quite a large stream which runs very near the Elk Horn prairie, and is
known by the name of the Dry Fork. It is quite large at the mou^h owing
probably to the back water of the Missouri.. Saline deposite in south bank.
The Quaking Ash river is probably the Martha's river of the map ; the
traders knew no stream by this name.

Seven o'clock — We have just had some rare sport ; half an hour ago a

m t 1 ]

herd of ellc, fifteen in number, appeared on a bar above us ; as soon as th^
saw the boat they took to the nver and swam across, but became alarmed^
and instead of landing, gathered in a circle and remained swimming about
in the water. As the boat approached them, nearly every man prepared to
give them a warm salute, wluch they remained quietly to receive.

First, pop went one gun and then another, and another, and crack, crack,
was heard for fifteen or twenty minutes, amidst shouts of the greatest ex-
citement, while the elk started for the other shore, the blood spouting from
most of them — one would lag behind, and then another and aowa stream
they would float wrong side up. Captain Bryuly, the second pilot, took
long aim at one, and I thought he had missed, but in a moment up went the
poor fellow's heels in the air, and he made a grand flourish in the water,
but at last was obliged to give up the ghost. Meanwhile, old Mr. Picotte
was off in the yawl, sword in hand, after the wounded and to bring in the
dead. The sight was most exciting and amusing; the old man sat strad-
dling the bow of the boat, coat off, flourishing his sword, ready to plunge
it into the first elk he could reach. One poor animal wounded m the back,
was stru^Iing to get away, and after him they put ; stick went the sword,
but in it would not go ; the old gentleman had not examined the point, and
on trial, it was founB dull as a beetle. But he was too old a hunter to be
foiled in this way, and the bow of the boat was again turned to the elk ;
now they are on it and Mr. Picotte seizes it by the tail, pushing his
small knife up to the handle in its side. The elk kicked and scuffled, but
it was of no avail, and soon was on the deck and its hide unshipped, as one
of the men called the operation of skinning. Meanwhile, a nne doe had
been skinned and cut up on the forward decK, end the same operation was
being performed on the stern, so that now three fine elk were on the boat.
The yawl again went after another one, and returned with the only buck I
noticed in the band, so that we got four ; three others were killed, but were
carried off by the current, and my own impression is that all the others
were wounded. The horns of the buck were in the velvet state, but were
very much injured. I shall get two or three skulls.

Encamped at the side of a very extensive and level prairie to the north
side eleven points from Milk River — cloudy and signs of rain.

Wednesdaj/, June 19 — Six o'clock. — The sun arose clear this morning
but now it is a httle hazy. We are all still pushing up stream ; &ce of tu
country is rather more even ; low hills on both sides generally off from the
river.

Ten o'clock. — Had a long talk this morning with Mr. Clark on the sub-

1'ect of Indian customs. I was surprised to hear what he told me of the
anguage of signs used by nearly all the tribes except the Sioux and Asaini-
boines. It must be as perfect and expressive as the language of mutes with
us ; by these signs one Indian can tell another the pnncipal events of his
whole life and -vnll be perfectly understood. And this does not come from .
the barrenness of their ovrn language for it is sufficiently expressive, bnt
Mr. Chirk thinks it to have originate principally from the fact of the Indi-
ans not knowing when they meet a man, whether he be a friend or an
enemy ; they do not know whether to let him approach or not and by these
signs he can team all about him, though be be too far off to converse with
the tongue. It b therfore the language gf caution and defence.

These signs are faeautiiul and poetic ; the rude figures which we see
sometimes on buffalor robes are not mere awkward attempts at-omaiaeiit.

[ 1 ] 126

but they are hieroglyphics, as easily read by an intelligent Indian as words by
us, and perhaps containing a whole history of some great event.

The Blackfeet do not place their dead on seafTolds but either in a hole
well covered to keep off the wolves, or they leave them in the lodge with
everything just as it is when they die. In that case the wolves of course
eat their bodies very soon ; and I am told that in this way the body of
nearly every Blackfoot is disposed of. When one of them b in mourning
be puts white earth on his head and goes out before his lodge wailing mOst
{Hteously ; as soon as the neighbors see that they all rush to his lodge and
take it and everything it contains, leaving him nothing hut his horse. The
death of a relation is therefore a very serious affair, since a man loses all
hb property as well as his friend. How different with us — where a man
frequently gains property with the death of a relative.

A Blackfoot has complete power over his wife ; if he linds her unfaithfiil,
he generally cuts her nose off, but he can shoot her down if he chooses to
do so, and it is said that it is very common to see good looking young women
going about noseless. If a man loves his wife and wishes to overlook any
indiscretion of this kind, her own brother may walk into the lodge and say
" it is only to-day that you have made me ashamed," and shoot her
dead before her husband's face, while he can say not a word. The Blackfeet
are taught to beg from their infancy and are adepts in the art.

Six o'clock. — We have just started, after the longest detention we have
had except for business ; we reached this point about twelve o'clock, and
have been here ever since lixing one of the wheels. However, the time
was not lost, for the hands have cut enough of wood to take us down to the
Fort, and will not have to detain for that purpose af^er we have unloaded.

Milk river is said to be about twenty-rive miles distant, but we would
have reached it to-day, had we not been detained long. The face of the
country to-day has been generally rolling prairies, frequently stretching many
miles &om the river. Aoout eleven o'clock we passed the outlet of a lake
or pond a short distance to the north of the river. In twenty-four houn we
shafl probably have our face turned homewards, when I shall hurrah for
the States.

Wc have just passed the outlet of a lake which, according to one account
is the same as that mentioned this morning ; but according to another, it
belongs to a different lake — if there be but one, it must be ten or twelve
miles long. A part of it could be seen when we reached the end of the
wood, and it is narrow like a creek and winds considerably. The woods
are known as the places where the free men, (those not in the employ of the
company,) built themselves a fort, and the lake is scHuetimes called Free-
mens' lake from that circumstance.

This lake is in one of the most magnificent prairies I have seen ; we are
still opposite it, and it sweeps away for miles, at first very level and then
. tenninating in hills, gradually rising and covered vrith grass. To the south
a line prospect is also seen, but then the hills rise from the river and in the
distance black spots show that Luffalo are there. The bute at MUk river is
now easily seen. Just passed a small stream called the Little river, coming
in from the south, marked hut not named on the map.

Thursday, June 20 — Eight o'clock. — This morning wc were off as
usual, about half-past three o'clook ; soon afterwards pafsed a small stream
on the south, generally called Dry Fork, thoiigh at present it contains
water. At hal^past seven o'clock we passed Forca|Hiie tirer comiif is

m [ 1 ]

from the north ; it is about twenty yuds wide, no wood at the mouth, and
as far as we could see, very little along its banks. It comes in at the upper
end of Porcupine cut off, sometimes called Harvey's cutoff. During all
this morning we have a continuation of the prairie country seen yesterday,
especially on the north side there has heen beautiful rolling prairie all along
excepting occasional timbered pomts ; to the south low and scantily her-
baged hills have run close to the river, •

This Porcupine river is the place from which the military expedition under
the command of Gieneral Atkinson in 1835, turned back. He wintered at '
Old Council Bluffs, and in the spring ascended with nine keel boats. A part
of his company went by land as far as Milk river. The object of the expe-
dition was to treat with the Indians. The river to-day is still in a good
stage, but we have had to cross frequently to keep the channel.

. There is always plenty of water here, say those familiar with the place,
but the only trouble is to find the channel. The boat is now light and has
passed over some places where only two and a half feet of water was
sounded ; rather hard scratching however.

A large band of buffalo cows with their calves were crossing just above
the mouth of the Porcupine, but Mr. Picotte would nof allow the men to
shoot ; we passed very close to them all and it was amusing and touching
too, to see tne very great fear they exhibited as they in vain struggled to get
up the steep bank. I noticed here for the first time, what I had been told
imore, that the buffalo grunt almost exactly like a large hog ; had a person
heard and not seen he could easily have thought that a drove of swine was
passing. The men tried to catch some calves with a lasso but did not suc-
ceed. Buffalo have been seen in great bands for several days past ; last
evening probably five-hundred were in sight at one time on the river banks.
I have seen paths beaten by them which look like travelled roads in a
thickly settled country, ana paths of tlus kind are seen at almost every
landing.

Twelve o'dock. — We are now on the point immediately above AGlk river
and will go a short distance higher up to find good timber for building a
boat. Milk River comes in from the north, and is at least two hundred
miles above Fort Union. Mr, Clark says that it passes within a hard day's
ride — about forty miles — of Fort Benton, and if so it must be incorrectly
laid down on the map. Some miles below I saw the first grizzly bear ot
the season ; this is unusual as they are generally seen below Fort Union ;
and Kelly, an old hunter, told me that the reason they are not seen on the
river now, is that they are out on the prairies afler the pomolanche or prairie
turnip, oi which they are very fond.

We passed a few hours ago some black slate hills on the south nde rising
directly from the water; tlie sides in several places were marked by the
buffalo tracks so as almost to resemble slate roads, and to cause one to feel
as though he was in i much traveled country.

The boat has been about twenty'sevte hundred miles above St. ILiOUts, and
a board was nailed on a large cotton wood tree near the shore, with the
following inscription : " N. B. El Paso, landed here June 20, 1850, thirty-
five days from St. Louis — John Durack, Captain." The thirty-five daj-s
is the running time. This day at twelve o'clock, we were forty days out
from St. Louis. I really feel very thankful that my life and health have
been spared me during this ioumey. I have reached a pbint to which few,
except traders have attainea, and I hope that I have gained soioe valwible

[ »] 138

infonoation as well as restored my health. But It is a long distance, nearly
four thousand miles to my home, and no one can tell what may befall me,
but my duty is clear and I hesitate not to go even at the risk of the cholera.
Should it please Divine Providence to restore me to my home and my
studies, it is my sincere prayer that it may be to employ my powers and my
knowledge as a minister of the Gospel.

Huzza for home! Here we are driving at half past three o'clock down
stream as fast as steam will let us. Our shouts of farewell have hardly
ceased to ring in these old hills that so seldom resound with the voice of
wlutes, and now for the first time have hear,! the puff of a steamboat. We
stopped at twelve o'clock several miles above Milk River on the southern
bank, landed all the freights for Fort Benton and have turned our face
homeward. It was a picturesque scene as we rounded to, all hands on the
hurricane deck — the crew singing one of their peculiar songs — the camion
firing and ourselves giving three good hearty cheers, while the shore vrilh
its green carpet was covered with merchandize — the different families
bivouacking under the scattered and venerable trees, and the men who were
bound for me Blackfeet, returning our cheers and salute with hearty good
wUl.

Friday, June 21 — Star o'clock A. M. — We are now perhaps, half way
back to Fort Union, and if we meet with no misfortune, shall probably be
there early this evening. The day is clear and pleasant and we are having
a delightful ride.

Eight o'clock. — We are now stopping at the prairie on which is the
large pile of elk horns mentioned a day or two ago. Old Mr. Picotte has
the notion into ius head,.of taking the whole pile to St. Louis, and soon this
noted, and almost revered land mark will be on the hurricane deck of the
EI Paso. All on board, excepting the old gentleman himself, would prefer
to leave it untouched, especially as the horns are not in a good state of pre*
serration. The river is falling and we shall have no time to lose.

Adopted relations among the Blackfeet are very frequent and of the most

sacred character ; two young men become comrades, and then they are

friends by the closest ties, and it is a greater disgrace for a comrade to lose

his friend in battle or want of bravery or skill, than to lose a younger bro-

' ther. Whenever they are together for any time, they exchange presents.

The mere glimpse I have gained of Indian customs, convinces me that to
acquire any philosophical and valuable knowledge of them, a person must
live with them for a time. From such men as Rlr. Picotte, Mr. Meldrum,
Mr. Clark and ray brother, he may gain a great deal of information, but no
questioning can place him in possession of all the facts, because he does not
know what to ask, and if he did, these men not being accustomed to defi-
nitely coramunicatetheirknowledge, often so speak as to convey an exag-
gerated impression without any design to deceive. Constantly customs of
which I had no idea, are mentioned m conversation, so that it is my opinion
that in order to a proper appreciation of the Indian, a long residence among
them is necessary.

Friday, Six o'clock, P. M. — Arrived at Fort Union again about four
o'clock having had a most delightful trip to Milk lUver. The river has
been falling, but as the weather is again oppressively hot, we look for more
water, although there is still plenty to run down on. We shall be off* early
in the morning, and I feel glad to move on homeward as tost as possible ;
nothing could induce me to live here. I feel sad at heart to part with my

129 [ 1 ]

lirother and I know tbat I shall be lonely to-morrow vidioat luiii. May all
his kindness be returned to him tenfold.

Saturday, June- 22. — The boat moved from Fort Union across the river
' for wood about half past three o'clock, and about that time we had a very
fine shower of rain. At half past seven o'clock we moved off, firing a
salute to the men belonging to tne fort who had come over to help us take
in fiiel, Alexander was with them and the last sight I had of bim he was
standinc up in the boat which was just pushing of.

We nave not made a very good run to-day because of the wind being
against us this afternoon and the wood has been bad. A good deal of baa -
land appears on both sides of the river, and much of the burnt earth with it ;
this often appeared on the sides of grass-covered hills, and in hills rising
directly from the prairie, as well as m its usual position in the white land
lulls.

While it is difficult for one not skilled in such matters to refute the com-
mon belief that the red burnt-like earth is the result of the action of* fire,
it is well to mention some circumstances that at least throw some improba-
bility on that theory ; the first is that if these red looking places were cra-
ters, the whole bank of the river must have been volcanoes for hundreds of
miles, with few exceptions — they occur in almost unbroken connection for
miles, and above Fort Union there is one place where they thus appear
almost continually fnr twenty or thirty miles, being there much more fre-
quent than lower down. Another is, that so far as I c^n see, 4hese hills
exhibit no other evidence of the action of fire ; there is not a single sign of
Tolcanic action that I have seen around these places, either in the forma-
tiona of the hills or in the stones on their surface.

And again what appeared to me very singular on the supposition of vol-
canic action, has been that these crater remains, or volcanic remains do not
extend deep into the earth ; in some places they look no deeper than a
modem lijne-kiln ; in others ihey appear almost as a stratum placed in be-
tween the other formations, and in all they have other formations below
them, and in many above them. I regret very much that I cannot describe
the geological formation of these hills.

Jatmdiy, June 24. — Yesterday we passed Fort Berthold, the Gros
Ventre Fort, and came within fifteen miles of Fort Clark, the Ree Fort at
the old Mandan village. On the map there is a Fort Mandan marked
nearly opposite Fort Clark ; this is probably the Fort built by Lewis and
Clark for their ouarters, when they wintered with the Mandans. I noticed
yesterday a thicu vein of coal in the bluff on which the Gros Ventre village
IS built.

Tuesday, June 25. — This is one of the few rainy days we have had, but
is not uncomfortable, as we are well protected in the cabin and at the same
time are movii^ along slowly towards home. There has been a good deal
of detention from running on sand bars, and in looking for the channel. A
few hours ago we passed Heart river, and at the place where we were
aground so long when going up we stuck again, injuring one of the wheels.
Tkurtday, June 27. — Yesterday was nothing more than a bright plea-
sant day, passed in grounding, backing, wooding and going a lew miles
a-faead. The night previous, we had landed at a place that ought to be
called Musquito hollow, if we may judge from the complaints made by
cveiyone. I never suffered so much from them, and could not get to sleep
until past midnight; others were forced frmn below to tlw hurricane declcj
Mis— 9 ,. I

[ 1 ] l»

and there passed the night as best they could. The day was marked bjr

Another event also vorthy of record — the death of my porcufane. I had
the skeleton preserved.

In the evening when we landed, Mr. Picotte was seen running up a
very steep, high oluff, and while we were admiring liia activity he cailea to
us ; we all at once started off, suppoung he had seen game. Mr. Clarl
taking his rifle, and Ferd bis knife ; but on coming up to nim we were muci
amused to hear the old man instead of pointing out the game, ask us to
slide down the hill to the water's edge. Fortune favored me at this pl^ce,
for as we desceneded the hill, I saw for the first time in my life, the cactm'
in bloom. It was a most agreeable surprise to find this UBsightly plant
which is the great annoyance of moccasined voyageurs adorned with nower*
of a fine Etra\t color. I secured several of them although none appeared to
be in full bloom ; how to preserve them is a great difficulty with me, for so
much of the fleshy substance must go with the flower, that it is almost im-
possible to dry it. The structure of the flower, also was full of interest to
me, so that on the whole, I thought I had secured a real prize.

At night I listened with great pleasure to a long conversation between
Mr. Clark and Mr. Picotte, on Indian customs and language, and I regret
that I cannot record it fully. They mentioned the great generosity of all
Indians roanifested in their disposition to give presents, and so great is th>
desire to do so, that they will even steal to gratify it ; the same generom
dispositioa is remarked in nearly all half breeds. Politeness amongst them,
assumes some very singular forms ; for instance, it is a mark of great resped
for an Indian to pass his plate with the remnant of his meal to any one who
may be with him ; this I have observed at the feasts, and have seen it in the
half-breeds constaatly. And it is the very quintessence of politeness for au
Indian who is drinking liquor, to fill his mouth and then pass the contentt
to his friend's mouth from his own. The Indians notice the manner is
which they are treated by the traders, and think it rather strange — say tb^,
" we give you the best tood and the best robe, while you give us poor food
and put OS in another room to sleep." "Well," reply the traders, "tht
reason is, that there are so many of you^ and so few of us, we cannot afford
to find you all, as we feed ourselves, and if we feed one of you better than
another, jealousy is produced.

The Indians in their intercourse like to see a man well dressed because it
slwws respect to them, and they despise a man who adopts their own cos-
tume ; they are conscious of, and admit the white man's superiority, and
have mind enough to despise the man who lowers himself to them. They
all make it a point to dress in their best when they reach a fort, except the
Assiniboinea ; and Ferdinand says that if they are not dirty before they get
near the fort they make themselves so purposely.

The Indian name of the Gros Ventres is Minetaree — the people of the
willows — the Aricarees call themselves Com Eaters, and the Mandans
have no translation for their name. Mr. Clark mentioned a difficulty in
acouiring an Indian language worthy of notice, namely, that the women
ana men use a language so different that after acquiring one you would
almost he ignorant of the other — that the men would pretend to be mtire-
Jy ignorant of many words which the women use, and these are not words
peculiar to feminine dress or habits, but the names of very common articles
and acts. This is doubtless owing to the social position of the female —
their interest is separate from that of the men, and they are made to feel

131 ; [ 1 ]

that thej are regarded as inferior beings. There is a difference in the lan-
g;uage oi the male and female even in civilized life, but this arises from a
Tenr different reason — from the superior refinement of the latter.

It was remarked as an instance of politeness of an Indian gentleman,
that he never Uughs at the awkward attempts of a white to speak his lan-
guage, but on the contrary will compliment him on his success, and if a
squaw breaks out into a laugh, as they sometimes do at the slightest mistake,
lie rebukes her and tells her she does not know how to speak her own lan-
guage. This reminded me of the conduct of the Chinese to our mission-
aries in listening to their first attempts at preaching.

We spoke a httle of the importance of a good half-breed school on this
river, and every one present gave it as his opinion, that an effort to esta-
blish one would meet with encouragement. It is said that there are pro
bably one hundred and fifty children whose parents were able to pay sixty
or eighty dollars a year for their schooling.

Evening, — Stopped nbout thirty miles above Fort Pierre — have there-
fore made a poor run to day, and had a great de&I of grumbling. The
western bank has been almost a continuous bed of slate, thirty to forty feet
high. I went ashore, and found the bottom covered with a vine bearing a
pretty specimen of bindweed, and have preserved some good specimens ; it
differs from the beautiful pure white bindweed of Virginia, in having runr
ning vines and a purple tinge on the petal. |

Friday, June 28. — About ten miles below Fort Pierre — home seems to be
approaching quite rapidly, and we are now only about three thousand miles
from it, and no cholera in the states, as we understand.' We reached the
Fort at about nine o'clock this morning, and left at two P. M. I was glad
to see again my acquaintances.

Mr. Picotte here left us, and we are to make the rest of the trip without
him. He hits been very kind to me and asked me to remain with him this
summer, but this was out of the questicm. In leaving the Indian country,
I must record my acknowledgment of the very many acts of kindness and
hospitality extended towards me. The gentlemen, particularly of the Fur
Company, have uniformily treated me with kindness and attention.

Saturday, June 29. — Last night closed in with clouds indicating a
■hower, and a fine rain fell during the early part of the night. Called by
Mr. Pattick about five o'clock to see the opposition boat, which was in
light. AH hands got up, and in about half an hour th& two boats were
opposite one another in the stream, but not a word was exchanged — thus
we passed, twelve hundred miles from home, and did D«t extend the slight-
est salutaticm ; so much for opposition in trade. It was the St. Ange, a fine
boat, owned and commanded by Captain Joseph Lebarge. There were
several ladies on board, and my eyes were delighted with the sight of a
beautiful face and fine figure for the first time in some months. A great
many high slate hills on the west side this morning.

JHonday, July 1. — On Saturday night we camped a short distance
below White river, and had something of a blow again. Ycsterdlay we
passed the L* Eau qui Court and encamped below it, and now at about ten
o'clock, Monday mominff we are pushing down stream quite rapidly below ,
the river A'Jacques. It had been my intention to have noticed with some
particularity the face of the country below Fort Pierre, but as it has been
carefully examined by scientific men with instruments, and reports made on
it, it ai^wars to me scarcely vortb toy while to do so, and besides this it ii

El] i»

imposuble for me to give u accurate account of the geolt^ical fbrmatk
from observing it as the boat passes swiftly by. I have noticed the lint
■tone mentioned by Nicollet and-seen it in mie strata I^ing above slate ; i
this stone is hard enough, it would be admirable for building. I think it to
soft however, although I have not yet been able to secure a specimen.

These slate and limestone rock occur in very high steep blufts rising alma
perpendicularly from the water, except when bars or narrow bottoms iatei^
vene ; they also often exhibit evidence of the presence of sulphur and iron,
they do not occur in one unbroken succession, but they cross the river veij
frequently, being seen now on one side and again on the other, but oeva.
80 far asl remember, appearing on opposite sides at the same place. Tbti
do not occur in unbroken succession ever on the same side of the river, bn
most generally appear as the sections of a series of short hills with ra
between, and these ravines having in them grass and scrubby trees, (if
quently cedar. I noticed many swallow nests in these high banks.

I have looked with some care for the pseudo volcanoes of Nicollet ; wt
passed the one in the bend below White River very early in the monun;.
and I did not see it to my disappointment, but I noticed several places in lit
banks which I supposed he called volcanoes, as they presented the in'
burnt-like appearance noticed so often about Fort Union. One of tba
places passed yesterday on^ the west bank, had so much the appearace t'
having been causqfl by fire as to make the Captain exclaim — that must faan
been a very recent fire. We are again getting into the region of sna^
but we have made fine running yesterday and to-day. Uurran for home.

Tuesday, July 2. — We reached the Vermilion post yesterday at twelif
o'clock, and was welcomed by Mr. Larpenter. We were detained there &!
the afternoon to take in packs, and at night we lay at the island O[^)o^u
and took in wood. I got two pairs of black tailed deer horns, and vu
offered a young skunk, which I declined ; there are two on board, reallj
beautiful little creatures and full of play. This morning we had made fortj
miles before breakfast and have some hopes of being in St. Louis by Sundaj '

Wednesday, July 2. — We spent the night a little below old Couoril
Bluffs, and this morning soon after breakfast were at Bellena, and saw foi
the first time in some months a settlement of whites. Yesterday the hilit
for the first time were seen covered with timber and presented quite a
pleasing contrast with the bare bluffs of the upp^r river. To-day we art
hastening along and may reach St. Joe to-night.

Friday, July 5. — Yesterday was passed oy me delightfully, because I
was hurrying home as fast as steam could carry me. We passed St. Joe
about ten o'clock, making only a short stop. I there got the skull of an
Aasiniboine chief from Mr. M'Donald. We passed several towns but
stopped only once, at Parkville ; we met several steamboats bound upward.
This morning it is oppressively hot.

Saturday, July G. — My trip has at last ended, so far as the Indian
country is concerned. The £1 Paso landed about two o'clock, all in good
health and spirits and glad to get hinne. I desire to feel very grateful to
Divine Providence for my safe return and restored health — may the know-
ledge gained be all employed in promoting God'a glory.

ofth* American Fnr company, and fur many yeara ramiliat with llie iialiun itleircil lu, as well aa
with Ihoee higher up the river. The Sioui nation occiipiea ihe inmitiiae tract o/ country
eilending in a wnlh weft direclioD from ttaa Upper Uiaainippi to the PUNe river, and bouadcd
on the We« by the Black Hiila.

Thii table dees not rerer lo that part of tlie nation living on the Missiiuiippi. Three ihonntid
lodgei may be relied on ai very nearly Ihe correct number of thomi living on Iha Minsonri.
according to (be teetioiony of the beit antharity, and lliirty Uioasaud la neerly tin currect number
of souls I (he average aoula per lodge baa been put at ten, nii lh« inihority of Mr. Picolte, who
haa bad every opportoiiily of making a correct eati mate. Ha tliink* lliat eight lauli per hMJ|a
might not be too low, but he prefcra to pnl tba ealimale at ten.
