ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR.

1895-1896.

To the Trustees and Members of Field Columbian Museum: ie

I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the
Museum for the year closing September 30, 1896. The system of
the Museum generally has been much improved during the past twelve
months. Expenditures have been made more in the direction of
classification than in re-installation; in working over old, rather than
in purchasing new material, and in labeling, numbering and cata-
loguing specimens. While the work of the first year may be charac-
terized as rushing and spasmodic, the labor of the second year has
been even and steady. The number of department subordinates and
clerks has been increased, but the pay roll of mechanics has been cur-
tailed. Except in the lower ranks, there have been no changes in the
personnel of the staff, and except as may be demanded by the further
subdivisions of the departments, the Museum may be said, with
respect to its salary roll, to be upon a permanent basis. Much of the
crudeness of the original installation has disappeared during this
year, producing greater harmony of method, and connecting divisions
with closer regard for an intelligent and comprehensive scheme of
installation. The great courts have been metamorphosed, not only
providing requisite space for the growing collections of Archeology
and Zoology, but substituting for an installation of the character of
an exposition, an arrangement on museum lines. While the year
has been a busy one, and the results satisfactory, yet considering the
requirements, constantly growing in importance and increasing in
number, the second year, like the first, seems to have ee
simply the necessity for still greater effort.

INCOME AND MAINTENANCE.—The Director’s ‘‘income and main-
tenance” budget for thecurrent year, estimated the income at $71,576,
and the expenses at $101,220. These two estimates based upon those
of the previous year, have naturally proven to have come nearer the
actual figures than those of the first year, for which there was no
precedent. But as the present budget provided for a sharp increase
in the departmental force, the efforts made to bring the two sums
87

88 FIELD COLUMBIAN MusEuM—ReEports, VOL. I.

together have not been fully rewarded, as indeed was not expected,
although a saving has been made in the budget, of $14,530. By
estimating the income and expenses of the four months to January
ist, the deficit for maintenance, it is found, will approximate $15,000;
?. e., income $72,250, expenditures $86,690. It will be borne in mind
in this connection, as was the case in the last report, that these fig-
ures do not include special cash donations, nor special appropriations,
made by the Executive Committee, for material and permanent
improvements.

THE MemeersHips.—Nominations for Annual Membership were
made in very large numbers at the beginning of this year, and the
total membership of this class now registered is 610. A large pro-
portion of the old Annual Members are found upon this year’s list, but
the number of new names cannot be said to be very gratifying,
although every effort has been made to secure an increased member-
ship. Several Honorary Life Members have been elected by the Trus-
tees: Mary D. Sturges, Harlow N. Higinbotham, George M.
Pullman, and Edward E. Ayer. Frederick J. V. Skiff, Willard A.
Smith and W. I. Buchanan have been elected Patrons.

Lecture Course.—Two series of lectures have been given since
the last Annual Report, most of them being illustrated with stereop-
ticon views. The fourth course comprised nine lectures:

Oct. 5.—‘‘Cats and the Lands they Inhabit.’’*
D. G. Elliot, Curator of Zoology, Field Columbian
Museum.

The audiences vary greatly according to the weather, the ap-
proach to the Museum being at times so disagreeable, on account of
wind or dust storms, as to prevent many from venturing out, but all
things being taken into consideration, the attendance has been grati-
fying. The time forthe lectures seems to be suitable, viz.: Satur-
day afternoon, at 3 o’clock, as probably a larger number of persons
can conveniently attendthen. A new set of lenses has been provided
for the stereopticon, enabling the instrument to be placed at the rear

sequently the fourth edition of the Guide had to be almost entirely
re-written.

The distribution to foreign countries is accomplished through
the Bureau of International Exchanges of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion. In addition to the printéd requests for exchanges transmitted
with the Museum literature, about 350 personal letters have been

g2 FieLp CoLuMBIAN MusEuM—Reports, VOL. I.

prepared and sent out requesting exchanges of particular publica-
tions. Responses have always been courteous and in nearly all
instances favorable, so that the reading room of the Library is now
assured of a permanent and valuable series of current periodicals,
such as transactions, memoirs, journals, proceedings, etc., of the
principal publishing scientific bodies of the world.

LisrarY.—During the fiscal year there have been added to the
Library 687 bound volumes and 1,148 pamphlets and unbound
volumes, making a total of 1,835 titles. This compares very fav-
orably with the growth of the Library for the preceding years,
although the total number added in 1894-95 was 2,411, and in 1893-94,
the opening year of the Library, 7,139, but both these years saw the
acquisition of several large collections. The number of donations
has materially increased; attributable, of course, to the rapidly grow-
ing exchange list of the Museum. A list of the accessions to
the Library accompanies this report. The number of accessions
would indicate the present size of the Library were it not for
the fact that two collections of engineering and railroad literature
which were loaned to the Museum, have been returned to their
owners. Subtracting these collections from the total, gives 10,635
titles at present in the Library, not including some 3,000 pamphlets
bound in cheap bindings. The Museum is also in constructive pos-
session of the ornithological library of Mr. Edward E. Ayer,
consisting of about 400 valuable works, which he has recently
presented to the Museum and which will be added to the catalogue
this winter. In order that the staff of the Museum might avail itself
in the most convenient manner of the scientific literature on the
shelves of other Chicago libraries, co-operative arrangements have
been made as far as possible with those libraries by which their
books can be used at the Museum, The Chicago Public Library
allows its reference or other works to be drawn out upon the requisi-
tion of the Museum Librarian and delivers them at a neighboring
Delivery and Reading Station. The John Crerar Library promises
a duplicate printed copy of its card catalogue and has indicated
its willingness to buy scientific literature specially desired by the
Museum. The University of Chicago Library has been extensively
used by the staff of the Museum, and many courtesies have been ex-
tended and future facilities promised. The three largest scientific
libraries of the city are thus in effective co-operation with the
Museum. The Library, young as it is, cannot, of course, pretend to
have a full quota even of the necessary books, and the fact needs to
be emphasized that special literature, descriptive of scientific species

Ocr. 1896. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 93

and collections, and of geographic regions or sources of specimen
supply, as well as the most modern manuals are the most important
permanent accessories to specimens themselves, and are indispensable
for reference, to a progressive working staff. The Curators complain
that they are unable to do the careful scientific work required
of them owing to the fact that the effective descriptive literary tools are
not provided. Although, as far as possible resources of other Libraries
are being drawn upon, it yet remains to be said that each department
of the Museum needs astill larger complement of specialized scientific
books for constant reference. As the routine work of the Library is
being performed by oneassistant, the large amount of cataloguing to be
done progresses slowly. A type-written card catalogue shelf-list
is kept up to date and arranged by subjects so that the resources
of the Library on any specific subject can be given. A carefully
studied subject catalogue, which will give cross references to the
minor matter in collective books, has already been begun. The
author catalogue, comprising some 12,000 titles, has been completed
and is in use. All of the literature on the shelves of the Library
and belonging to the Museum, has been stamped with the Library
seal. Twenty-eight periodicals which would otherwise have been
subscribed for are now received regularly in exchange. The number
of periodicals subscribed for is 47. The total number of books in
the Department Libraries is as follows: Department of Geology,
I,190 and 1,100 pamphlets. Department of Ornithology, 368. De-
partment of Botany, 163. Department of Zoology, 169. Depart-
ment of Anthropology, 88. Total deposited in Departments— Books
and pamphlets, 3,078. No record of the use of these books is kept
by the Librarian. ;
Recorps.—The accession catalogues have been carried on as
described in the Report of last year, with the exception that two new
books have been opened, one for the Department of Monographic
Collections, the other for the Section of Photography. Great incon-
venience was caused by the lack of catalogues accompanying the
collections received at the inception of the Museum. At present for
each new accession either catalogues are obtained from the sender or
the Curators prepare catalogues of the material upon receipt. These
are then filed and jacketed for future use. The total number of
such descriptive papers, letters, documents, etc., now in the Record-
er’s files reaches 9,426. Each paper filed receives its individual
number, and cannot be withdrawn from the Recorder’s office without
written receipt. The Recorder, who acts as Custom House Agent
for the Museum, has cleared through the Custom House about 30

consignments of material from foreign ports. In this connection,
acknowledgment should be made to the Foreign Office of Messrs.
Marshall Field & Company for continued and courteous assistance.

DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUE, INVENTORY AND LABELING.—The cata-
loguing of specimens in the Department Inventories is progressing
rapidly, and in some Departments has been completed. In the
Department of Anthropology, the numbering, cataloguing and label-
ing of.the collections has been interrupted during the year by other
more essential work, but large numbers of specimens have been iden-
tified and catalogued, the card system being used in the preliminary
work as a matter of convenience. Much advance has been made in
the work of labeling, attention having first been given to general
descriptive, group, and case labels. A most important feature of
this work is being carried out in the Egyptian Section, where
Mr. J. H. Breasted, Egyptologist of the Chicago University, is
engaged in translating the numerous hieroglyphic texts of papyri,
grave tablets, scarabs, mummies, etc. The results will first be applied
to the writing of detailed labels for the collections, and afterward to
the preparation of a guide. The appointment of George A.
Dorsey of Cambridge as Assistant Curator in Charge of Physical
Anthropology, has made it possible to proceed with the work of
identifying and cataloguing the material in this important division.
The Department of Botany has all records of material completed
and all specimens numbered and labeled. This not only
applies to the case specimens, but also to those stored away as dupli-
cates. Specific classification is far from complete, however, and
descriptive label writing is only begun. The Curator of Geology has
catalogued the entire paleontological collection, and new material is
now disposed of upon arrival. The work of replacing the temporary
by printed descriptive labels has been carried forward as opportunity
permitted, and enough has been done in this direction to add largely
to the popular interest in the material. In Economic Geology, the
year has been marked by the most patient and steady devotion to
cataloguing and labeling. As a result, the records of the Depart-
ment are in excellent condition, and descriptive labels have been
attached to specimens so generally that the Department is assuming
a finished. appearance. In addition to the labels on individual
specimens, large labels have been provided for each class. The
work in the Department of Zoology, except Ornithology, has not
been active, owing to the absence of its Curator in Africa, but gratify-
ing headway has been made in cataloguing. Alarge number of descrip-
tive framed labels have been provided for Halls 1g and 20 and for

a5

the mammals in the West Court, and the purchasing lists of three
large shell collections have been compared with the material and
corrected preparatory to inventory. The entire collection in the
Department of Ornithology has been catalogued, something over
1,000 skins having been recorded quite recently. Labels have been
written for all the mounted birds. The Department of Industrial
Arts has finished its card catalogue and Inventory, and reports
that only a very few labels are lacking. Owing to the demands
of his regular duties, the Recorder who has charge of the Depart-
ment of Columbus Memorial, has done little in Memorial Hall this
year except to replace new for old labels. The catalogue was com-
pleted in 1895. The important work to be done is the numbering of
the pictures to correspond with the original Exposition inventory,
When all the material is identified and numbered correctly, it will be
possible to print a hand-book to the collection, the manuscript of
which is now in possession of the Museum, and which would add
greatly to interest in the collection.

The year’s work in the Museum on catalogues and inventories is

Accessions.—The accessions of material by gift, purchase and
expedition have been large and valuable, and seem to have been
rather evenly distributed among the different Departments, if the pre-
vailing flattering estimate of the results of the African expedition be
included. It is obviously impossible to discuss all of the many acces-
sions, but some seem to demand a reference beyond the simple record.
A number of noteworthy additions have been made to the Department
of Anthroplogy. Special attention may be directed to the collections
of Eskimo material brought from Northern Alaska by Miner W.
Bruce. These include valuable fur costumes, implements and uten-
sils pertaining to the native arts and industries, and many carvings
in bone and ivory. It is expected that these will be utilized to some
extent in setting up a group of figures illustrating the» Alaskan

96 FieELD COLUMBIAN Mus—EuM—Reports, VOL. 1.

Eskimo. Students of the ancient peoples and arts of America will
look with particular interest on certain acquisitions from Yucatan, and
some examples of sculpture from the Valley of Mexico give an excel-
lent idea of the achievements of the native races in this line. South
America has yielded but little directly, although collections returned
to the Museum from the Peabody Museum of Cambridge add greatly
to the wealth of material from Peru and other Pacific Coast countries. +
The culture of the ancient Romans, already so well represented both
by reproductions and original works, is further illustrated by a group
of bronze objects of surpassing interest, recently obtained from a
villa near Pompeu. The most remarkable of these objects are two
bronze bath-tubs and a bronze table with circular top supported by
legs imitating those of the lion. Among the most notable additions
to the Egyptian collections is the magnificent series of stoneware,
ranging in date from 3,000 years before Christ to a late period.
The bronze sistrum presented by Dr. Keeley is a large and perfect
specimen, and its inscriptions are of the greatest interest, showing it
to have been used in the Temple of Ammon at Thebes. Among
numerous other bronzes, a large statue of Osiris is worthy of special
mention. <A series of grave tablets and tombstones includes two
large fragments of tomb tablet reliefs of exquisite workmanship,
similar to pieces recently acquired and published by the Berlin
Museum. A fine series of faience or blue glaze mortuary figurines is
of interest, but is exceeded in importance by the coiled ser-
pents in the same material, one of which is remarkable for size
and color. Among the stone statues is a noticeable figure of Apet,
executed in black basalt. From Asia the Department has secured
three valuable marble images representing Buddhistic divinities.
Many specimens from the mounds of the Mississippi River and the
ancient copper mining district of upper Michigan collected by the
Curator of the Department have been added to the arche-
ological division. The Division of Physical Anthropology especially
has been enriched by materials selected from collections now
brought together for the first time, although in _ possession
of the Museum before the current year. One collection made by
D. Scott Moncrieff for the Columbian Exposition, consisted of four
skeletons, several crania and an original burial package, containing
three adult women and one girl, all in desiccated condition. As to
this package, although the funeral garments are of European origin,
the date of burial is probably about 1845, as with the bodies were a
large quantity of the ‘‘Log-cabin” medals of the ‘‘ Tippecanoe and
Tyler too” campaign of 1840. The bodies, otherwise, were note-

Ocr. 1896. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 97

worthy only for the pendant ear ornaments of coins, brass bells and
dentalium shells. In the mouth of one individual were found twenty
brass buttons. The acquisition of eight skeletons and several crania
for the Division of Physical Anthropology is timely, for with this added
material, the Department now possesses a fairly complete osteologi-
cal collection of North-West Indians, the tribes well represented
being: Kwakiutl, Salish, Songish, Kawitchin, Catlalty and Chinook.
The Mound material from Ross County, Ohio, returned from study at
Cambridge by the Chief of the Department of Anthropology of the
Columbian Exposition, has been placed on view by the Museum
this year. There were three notable and celebrated ‘ finds” in Ohio
Mounds: (a) that of Squier and Davis of two hundred carved effigy
pipes at Mound City; (b) that of Professor Putnam of Cambridge of
seven altars, each covered with countless objects of adornment and
ceremony, at the Turner Group; and (c) that of Mr. Moorehead at
the Hopewell Group. In the amount and beauty of symbolic carv-
ings in copper, in the quantity of copper implements, in the number
of bone carvings in which conventionalism and realism are blended
in a most striking and artistic manner, and in the cache of unfinished
implements numbering over 7,000, this collection far surpasses any
hitherto made in the Mississippi Valley. There are also two valuable
collections from Fort ‘Ancient and Oregonia, Ohio. These are
remarkable for the large number of skeletons which were in a good
state of preservation. Among other material, new so far as its exhi-
bition is concerned, are the collections made by G. A. Dorsey in 1892
in Peru,four of which should be specially mentioned: From La Plata
Island, Ecuador, consisting of (a) fragments of ceremonial pottery
and images from the summit of the Island, made by coast tribes of
Ecuador, who resorted to the Island for centuries as a place of
worship and ceremony; (b) contents of three graves near the
beach, including gold and silver images and pins, beautiful pottery,
and a remarkable ceremonial stone-axe. These objects are Peruvian
in origin and their presence on the Island is to be explained by the
fact that Ecuador was conquered and over-run by Incas of Peru
shortly before the Spanish conquest; (c) from Santa Valley about 500
pieces of pottery of exquisite workmanship, and, taken collectively,
portraying in a vivid manner the physiognomy, religion, industries,
houses, and foods of the people; besides ceremonial sceptres and
bone carvings inlaid with turquoise; (d) from Ancon, the contents of
125 graves, showing every form of burial and the complete life of
individuals of both sexes, of all ages and of varying degrees of
wealth. From the notes and labels of the collector each grave can

be reconstructed. From the osteological material of the Ancon
exploration it is possible to make a full and complete investigation of
the physical characteristics, so far as the skeleton is concerned, of
the ancient inhabitants of this Necropolis. The most important
Herbarium accessions to the Botanical Department this year, are the
plants of the Gaumer collection purchased by the Museum, and the
Mexican plants donated by Mr. Ryerson. The former are particularly
valuable, as they maintain this special field for the Museum, and
yield a large percentage of species entirely new to science. Mrs.
Snyder has continued her enthusiastic interest in the welfare of this
Department during the past year by additional contributions of
plants collected by herself in the Californian region. Mr. Nuttall,
of West Virginia, who co-operated with the Botanical Department in
the preparation of its publication on the Flora of West Virginia, has
exhibited his interest in the work of the Museum by sending
specimens illustrating the flora of that state. Special significance
should also be attached to the valuable material collected by the
Curator as a beginning of the contemplated North American Forestry
Collection. In this work a good start has been made, and much,
work outlined for the next collecting season. The Department
of Geology has obtained a large collection of fossils illustrating
the fauna of the Chicago beds during the Niagara period. This
includes over five hundred specimens representing at least one
hundred distinct species, many of them rare, and two as yet unde-
scribed. These were gathered during a series of years by the late
Dr. Kennicott, and include many of the best specimens so far
obtained from the Bridgeport and Hawthorne localities. Other
important accessions to the paleontological collection are a series of
about sixty species of tertiary leaves from the Denver beds of South
Table Mountain and Golden, Colorado; twenty species of Devonian
plants from the Fern Ledges of St. John, N. B.; one hundred speci-
mens of the Cretaceous fossils of Texas representing twenty distinct
species; and a Placenticeras from Montana, nearly two feet in diam-
eter, with sutures beautifully preserved. A relief map of France,
four feet in diameter, a relief map of Northwestern Illinois and a
series of seven relief maps of the continents and the world, are
important additions to the geographic material already exhibited.
To the mineral collection have been added a number of the rarer

minerals of Mexico, such as Guanajuatite, Livingstonite, Bustanite,

etc., obtained by exchange with the Mexican National School of
Engineering, and some showy specimens of the better known minerals
collected by the Curator of Geology. A series of remarkable Joplin,

Mo., calcite crystals, the crystals being six inches in length, nearly
transparent and showing faces of two scalenohedrons in great
perfection, are also valuable additions. The Meteorite Hall has
received by exchange specimens of falls not heretofore represented.
One of the most interesting accessions to the metallurgical collections
is the series of specimens illustrating the toughening of cast iron,
rendering it, to. an extent, malleable. The Chief of the Division of
Mineral Resources of the United States Geological Survey, Dr.
David T. Day, who was in charge of the Mining Department at the
Atlanta Exposition, remembered the Museum at the close of that
event by sending an interesting series of nickel, magnesite and gold
ores from Canada, South Carolina and California. A specimen of
Crocidolite from Cape Town, South Africa, was donated by Mr. W. J.
Chalmers. A. specimen of Albertite from Utah, from W. H.
Holmes represents a valuable mineral in a new lTIocality. But
by far the most important addition to the Economic Collections are
the ores from Curator Farrington’s Mexican Expedition. The
silver ores are sO numerous as to compel a complete rearrangement
of the present collections of silver ores, which now represent all
phases of the occurrence of silverin Mexico. There were secured
interesting iron ores from the well-known Iron Mountain of Durango
and examples of the little known tin and mercury deposits of Mexico.
The Department of Zoology, except Ornithology, which in extent and
character of material did not at the beginning rank with the other
Departments of the Museum, has been brought to a higher standard
of completeness during the past year by extensive acquisitions in all of
its several divisions. Not so much attention has been devoted
to the lower as to the higher invertebrates. The Aldis expedition to
Florida brought in a quantity of sponges, crabs and molluscan forms.
Mr. Allison V. Armour, of Chicago, has contributed a collection of
5,000 insects from Yucatan, gathered by Mr. Thompson. By the
gift of Mr. Martin A. Ryerson, of Chicago, the Museum came into
the possession of a superb collection of 700 lepidoptera from India.
The molluscan collections have been considerably worked over and
revised, and additions have been made where needed. In Ichthyology
should be mentioned the gift of the National Museum of 105 species
of fishes, and several gifts of reptiles are to be noted, including
that of a boa constrictor presented by the Ringling Brothers.
The efforts of the Department have been concentrated prin-
cipally upon enlarging and upbuilding the mammalian collection.
To this end, as previously stated, an expedition was sent to Africa,
and large acquisitions are expected on the return of Curator Elliot.

100 FieLD COLUMBIAN MuSEUM—ReEports, VOL. 1.

Extensive purchases had previously been made of, mammal skins and
skulls representing principally the antelopes, monkeys and the felines.
Purchases were also made of small mammals from California, the
Price collection, which has since been described ina Museum Memoir
by the Curator of the Department. Other countries, including Sibe-
ria, Africa, Japan and the West Indies, have contributed of their
fauna to this division, while the gift of a fine giraffe by Ringling
Brothers was a valuable donation. The collections in Ornithology
have been increased very considerably during the past year, especially
by the acquisition of valuable North American species. Some 230
species, chiefly from the vicinity about Chicago, have been added by
the staff of the Department, and will be useful to the student
of local fauna. The study collection has been further increased
by about 1,500 specimens, representing thoroughly the birds
of Cook County, Illinois, and also, .in a lesser degree, the birds
of the north coast of Texas. Collections gathered during the pre-
vious season are now in the hands of the Curator for study and prepa-
ration. Notable progress has been made, particularly in two
sections of the Department of Industrial Arts—the textile and the

ceramic. The ceramic room has been enriched by several purchases ©

of old china gathered by the Museum’s representative in the East,
Mr. E. A. Barber, and illustrating the ware and art of the colonial
period. From the same source has come a set of Wedgewood cameos
and other art specimens. There has also been installed a loan col-
lection of vases and ware from Mrs. Schimmelpfeng, of Chicago.
French faience plates of considerable historical value were donated
by Mr. Hawkins, of New Orleans, and by Mrs. Keeley a set of Rhoda
and Damascus plates. To the series of machines and looms in the
section of textiles has been added a fabric glove machine and an old
hosiery loom. These were secured through the courtesy of Messrs.
Marshall Field & Company, at Chemnitz, and were by gift from prom-
inent manufacturers of that city. An interesting collection of Roman
plaid textiles, mounted, was contributed by Mr. Henry H. Getty,
who obtained them during his travels in Italy. Another attractive
gift is that of 104 specimens of mounted laces, velvets and brocades,
presented by Jesurum & Co., of Venice. By purchase has been
acquired a collection of 500 mounted specimens of similar material,
collected by Mr. Ayer while abroad. To fill out this section speci-
mens of mummy cloths and primitive textiles have been transferred
from the Department of Anthropology. Numismatics has grown
steadily, the periods represented being from the beginning of the
Christian era to a recent date. A set of fragments, supposed to be

copper coins, have been added to this section by gift of Mr. Ryerson.
Among other additions to Higinbotham Hall may be specially men-
tioned antique snuff-boxes, a series of crystallized gold specimens,
and gold jewelry from Egypt, while a large collection of gold orna-
ments from the United States of Colombia and silver ornaments from
Bulgaria have been transferred from the Department of Anthropology.
Mr. Cyrus H. McCormick presented to the Agricultural Implement
section a Set of Arabian plows and yoke plows, and seed-sowers from
Palestine. In the section of Leathers # complete collection, illus-
trating the art of tanning, has been obtained of Tiffany & Company.
In the division of Transportation may be noted, among the principal
contributions, a large ancient cedar boat discovered in Egypt and
presented to the Museum by Mrs. C. H. McCormick. A number of
minor relics have been deposited in the Museum by Chicago gentle-
men.

A detailed list of accessions and acknowledgments is pre-
sented elsewhere.

ExcHANGES.—One of the most profitable and satisfactory means
of obtaining new material is by exchange. A large amount of dupli-
cate material is in the possession of the Museum, especially in Eco-
nomic Geology, Botany, and in several divisions of Anthropology and
Zoology. Very gratifying arrangements have already been made
with contemporaneous institutions by the Curators of Economic
Geology and of Botany, and anumberof desirable exchanges effected.
During the year, all the duplicate material has been listed by Depart-
ments. This list will be published and sent to all institutions and
individuals, collectors, etc., soliciting correspondence on the subject
of the exchange of duplicates. The lists will probably be issued in
December.

EXPEDITIONS AND FIELD WorkK.—The mostimportant expedition this
year has been the commission to Africa, of D. G. Elliot, Cura-
tor of the Department of Zoology, except Ornithology. He
was accompanied by C. E. Akeley, Chief Taxidermist of the
Museum, and by Mr. Dodson of London who was with the Lake
Rudolph expedition of Donaldson Smith. The departure from
London was made March 27th, Aden was reached April 14th, and
Berbera April 21st. At this latter point the caravan was organized,
consisting of about 60 native guides, hunters and porters, with
seventy-five camels and ponies. Start was made from Berbera April
30th, and at the time of the last written report, August gth, the party
was at Higlileh, Ogaden, proceeding toward Tug Turfa and toward
Eur River, Long. 42.12 and Lat. 7.50. This is in the Galla country.

102 FIELD COLUMBIAN MusEUM—REportTs, VOL, I.

They expected then to go on to San Moretta, Long. 42.25 and
Lat. 6.50—the giraffe country. A cable dated September 29th,
reported the party safely at Aden on their return with a splendid
collection. There can be no doubt that if the material reaches the
Museum in good condition, the results will exceed all expectations.
No detailed information as to the number or variety of skins obtained
has been received. But that the quantity is ample may be gathered
from Mr. Elliot’s statement in June that it seemed ‘‘simply a ques-
tion of transportation.”’ ‘whe expedition has attracted a great deal of
attention, and both the official and scientific reports and:the popular
narrative of its chief will be awaited with much interest. He
will reach Chicago about December ist, remaining probably in Lon-
don several weeks to work over the material and identify species.
C. F. Millspaugh, Curator of the Department of Botany, began
his work this year on the Forestry of the Mississippi Valley. His

work so far has been confined to the State of Mississippi and South- ~

ern Illinois, procuring photographs from species in leaf, timber speci-
mens from the living trees, and leafing and flowering branches from
the same individual. Thetrip will be repeated over the sate terri-
tory this winter for trunk specimens, planks, boards and fruits. When
this work is completed, as provided bythe appropriation, the Museum
will possess a very valuable collection of the timber-producing trees
of the country, that, added to its foreign material, will constitute a
notable forestry collection. The officials of the Illinois Central Rail-
way are lending every possible aid. The work of the Department on
the Flora of Yucatan commenced by the Curator in the winter of
1894-95 is being continued, in the field under instructions, by G. F.
Gaumer, a resident of that State, and two consignments of
very interesting and valuable plants have already been received.
The Curator of Geology went on expedition to the Republic of
Mexico in the winter of 1895-96. It was fruitful in results. The
object of the trip was to obtain specimens illustrating volcanic and
glacial phenomena, and the economic deposits. The expedition was
largely made possible through the courtesy of the officials of the
Mexican Central and A. T. & S, F. Railways. The Curator made a
complete ascent of Popocatepetl and explored the crater and ascended
Ixtaccihuatl far enough to permit a study of its glacier. A great
many mineral specimens and ores were obtained and exchanges of
material arranged for with institutions and individuals, resulting
finally inthe possession of an excellent representation of the minerals
and ores of the Republic. Professor Farrington has prepared
several lectures for the Museum course based on this expe-

dition that will be illustrated from photographs taken on the trip. In
the past winter, G. K. Cherrie, Assistant Curator of Ornithology,
spent three months collecting bird skins along the Gulf Coast between
New Orleans and Corpus Christi, Texas. Nearly one thousand skins
were added to the North American division of this Department. Mr.
Cherrie has also made a number of excursions in the vicinity of
Chicago collecting local material. Miner W. Bruce arrived May
7th from Alaska after nearly two years absence, with a collec-
tion of 1,200 or more specimens illustrating the arts and industries of
the Eskimo of Alaska. He has returned again to the North with a
commission to add further material and to extend his work into
Siberia. During the past year, E. H. Thompson became asso-
ciated with the Department of Anthropology and was assigned to
workin Mexico. He has made a report on the recently examined
ruins of Xkichmook, accompanied by specimens and photographs.
He is now studying and mapping the ruins of Chichen-Itza, conclud-
ing which he will make investigations among the Mayas. President
Ayer passed the winter in Egypt adding much valuable material
to the archeologic collections from that country. He also secured
numerous articles in bronze and glass from Italy, representing the
culture of the ancient Romans. Vice-President Ryerson and Mr. C.
L. Hutchinson, on their trip around the world, procured and pre-
sented to the Museum a large and unique amount of material,
including Etruscan and Stone Age remains from Italy, Roman terra
cottas, metal and stone work from the Indies, and butterflies from
the Himalayas. Mr. Owen F. Aldis invited O. P. Hay, Assistant
Curator of Ichthyology to accompany him on an excursion to the
waters of Southern Florida. Nearly one hundred fine specimens
were obtained, several of which, including a splendid tarpon, have
been mounted. This contribution to the material of this division of
Zoology has added much to the appearance of Hall 22.

INSTALLATION, RE-ARRANGEMENT AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS.—
Estimated by its cost, the largest amount of material improvement
has been made on the Building itself. By order of the Executive
Committee, experts were secured to make recommendations that as
far as possible would insure the safety and stability of the Building
for at least five years. Acting upon these reports, the Executive
Committee appointed a sub-committee, consisting of Mr. Owen F.
Aldis and the Director to execute the recommendations of these
experts, modified in such directions as the judgment of this sub-com-
mittee might dictate. The repairs to the Building consisted in tin-
ning and painting the roof, strengthening the main floor, putting in

IO4 FieLp CoLtumMBIAN MusEuM—ReEports, VOL. I.

an entirely new roof-drainage system, removing the ornamentation
on the exterior of the Building, securing in place such plaster acces-
sories as seemed in danger of displacement, and re-plastering and
patching the exterior, closing the unused entrances with iron railing,
cleaning and repainting all of the structural iron work of the Building
and putting iron guards at all of the windows, With the exception
of the tinning and the plastering, the work was performed by con-
tract, within an appropriation of $15,000. The Building is as nearly
perfect in condition now, as it appears possible to make it, and
while the plaster work will be a continual source of annoyance and
expense, yet it can be cared for with the force at the disposal of the
Museum unless during the coming winter there is such displacement
as to require additional labor. This can only be determined by the
results as they transpire. It is estimated that unless something
unforseen arises, the Building can be maintained in its present physi-
cal condition for five years with the regular force of the Museum, and
possibly the expenditure of $3,000 per annum. Improvements in the
steam heating plant have been extensive. An independent line of
steam pipe has been constructed to the East Annex that will enable
heat to be forced into the extreme East end of the Building, without
the necessity of adding to the temperature of the system of the main
Building, through which system steam has been heretofore conveyed
to the East Annex. Water and steam pipes have also been laid to
the new workshop; to the Division of Physical Anthropology; to
Photography and other parts of the Building, as the establishment of
new offices, laboratories and working rooms have demanded. The
disadvantage of having the general workshop and taxidermy rooms
of the Museum located in the warehouse at Fifty-Sixth street and
Jefferson avenue, became so apparent, that by consent of the South .
Park Commissioners, an independent brick building accommodating
workshops, laboratory and taxidermic rooms, has been constructed
to the North of the East Main entrance of the Building. Itisalmost
concealed from view, and at the same time gives ample room for
work, and its proximity to the Museum itself simplifies and system-
atizes the work. A special vault was built for the skin vats of the
taxidermists; the rooms all have sky-lights, and are fire-proof. The
location of the carpenter shop and paint shop in this addition will
enable workmen to take small jobs to the shop and prevent a great deal
of annoyance, noise and litter created by carrying on such work in the
Museum, while the Curators of Zoology or Ornithology are in quick
communication with their taxidermists. During the past year a local
telephone system has been established in the Building, giving prompt

Ocr. 1896, ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 105

and easy method of communication between the different divisions
. and offices of the Museum. It has been found of the greatest utility
and economy. The Columbus caravels have been removed from the
South Chicago Ship Yards to the Main Basin in Jackson Park, and
secured to place and made ready for the rough weather of the winter.
The Viking Ship was about to be removed to the Basin, but by order
of the Executive Committee, the plan was changed and the ship was
housed at the East of the Museum, as was the case the year before.
Several improvements have been made in the printing office, in the
photographic section, and in the poisoning division; new fixtures,
furniture, appliances and accessories provided in each case, and the
scope for work improved asthe demands for its performance increased.
The printing office now prints the mailing list, and all addresses on
publications are attached by a mailing machine. The poisoning
force is doing effective work in all departments of the Museum where
such services are required, and has been attached during the past
year to the Superintendent’s jurisdiction. The presence of moths,
wood worms and dermestes in all parts of the Museum has necessi-
tated the greatest watchfulness and activity. The pests are now
under control, although the work is continued everywhere unremit-
tingly. A careful study of poisons, and advice, by correspondence,
from other institutions, has added much valuable information as to
the best methods to pursue and the most effective poisons to employ,
so that this very important division of the Museum now feels fully
equipped to meet these most dangerous enemies of all Museums.
The work of permanent installation in the Department of
Anthropology has been advanced in many directions, and more
artisan labor has been performed, and more facilities for permanent
installation provided, for this Department than any other, unless it
may be the department of Zoology. Re-adjustment and repairs to
old cases and the addition of new ebony cases, many textile frames
and numberless ebony bases, has vastly improved the appearance of
the Department, while the re-arrangement of collections and the trans-
fer of material to obtain more suitable geographic and other significant
relationships has very much improved the appearance of the entire De-
partment. The North Court and the East Court have been entirely
reinstalled. The large and undesirable objects in these two courts have
been either returned to the donors, donated to other institutions, or
stored for future disposition, and the two courts are now devoted
almost exclusively to Archeology, the East Court to America, and the
North Court to Europe. Halls ro, 11, 15 and 16 have been much
improved in appearance by segregation, modification and the applica-

106 FIELD CoLUMBIAN MusrEuM—REports, VOL<« tf.

tion of auniform system. The Division of Physical Anthropology has
been organized and placed in the working circuit during the past year,
and the alterations and improvements incidental to the establishment
of this Division have required considerable labor. The Assistant Cura-
tor in charge of this Division has been provided with offices in the
first East Court gallery, and a store room has been constructed for
him with sliding trays, etc., adjoining his office and laboratory. Less
physical alteration and re-arrangement has been necessary in the
Department of Botany than in any other. However, the receipt of
new material by expedition, gift, exchange and purchase now requires
for this Department accommodations that will be furnished. The
necessary facilities are being provided that will work a great change
in this gallery during the ensuing year. A part of this work will
consist in completing eight monographic series, which will include
the followimg interesting displays:

Rubbers and gums of the world.
’ | Seeds and their natural appliances for traveling.

| Textile fibres of the world.
} Cotton: its growth and utilization from the seedling to food,
| clothing, warfare, medicine, surgery, implements, paper, pho-
| tography and the arts.
{ Notable foods of the world.

3: | Edible fruits and their products.

| Habit plants and their products.

| Opium, Tobacco, Cocaine, Betel Nut, Tea, Coffee, Mate, etc.,
= | etc., Vegetable poisons, Curare Woorare, Hellebore, Pyre-

(i. thrum, ete.

Eight special herbarium cases have been provided and placed in
the laboratory of this Department, in which is being gathered a
reference herbarium about the nucleus formed by the Yucatan
material obtained by expedition. The Department of Geology
exhibits very little physical change during the year, although plans
are being executed that will materially improve Halls 66 and 67.
The paleontological collection has been largely re-arranged and
re-mounted, and now follows more nearly the stratigraphical order of
occurrence. From the lithological collection, most of the polished
slabs have been transferred to the Economic Division,and their places

filled by specimens illustrating the petrology of Manhattan Island and

the Green Mountains of Massachusetts. The metallic meteorites have
been coated with varnish, and several of the relief maps have been
retouched. In the Economic Division, a number of the halls have
been re-installed, but the old cases and bases have been utilized in

this work. MHall 78, salts, asbestos, etc., has been completely
re-arranged and the collections placed in logical order, while a col-
lection illustrating the manufacture of soda has been added from
storage. Hall 77, clays, sands, cements, etc., has also been com-
pletely re-arranged, while some of the inappropriate material such as
tiling, etc., has been transferred to the Department of Industrial
Arts. Hall 76, the metallurgy of iron, has received attention, and
when the collections of test specimens is completed, the collection of
malleable castings now in storage added, etc., the Hall will be in
excellent shape. A large geological section of the oil fields has been
added to the wall of Hall 71, Petroleum. The Department of Indus-
trial Arts has made noticeable progress and improvements through
re-arrangement and new material installed, transfers from other
departments, etc. Two cases for knitting machines have been
installed in the alcove of Hall 30; coin cases have been added to the
installation of the alcove of Hall 33, while Higinbotham Hall has
been practically re-installed, much interesting and valuable material
added, new wall and upright cases provided, etc. In Ceramic Hall,
several new cases have been added, one striking collection of old
Sevres porcelain being provided with a large case for the center of
the room. Additions have been made to the Division of Agricultural
Implements in the alcove of Hall 31. Inthe Division of Transpor-
tation, Boat Hall and Hall 40 (Pack Animals) have been thoroughly
overhauled, the models repaired and improved, and new models pro-
vided, while the original locomotives in the extreme East Annex have
been cleaned, and a suitable preparation applied to all of the metal
work. The Egyptian boat, presented by Mrs. McCormick, has been
installed in the extreme end of the East Court, and surrounded by an
iron railing, mounted upon ways, etc. The Department of Zoology
has been entirely re-modeled during the year, Hall 20 being provided
with a new set of cases of mahogany and plate, glass, and the Depart-
ment extended into the West Court. In the center of this Court has
been placed groups, and the sides occupied by molluscan collections.
A new wall case has been provided in Hall 21 for the butterflies which
have been re-mounted and to accommodate the Ryerson Himalayan
collection now being worked over. All of the birch cases in this
Department have been stained to conform in color with the new
mahogany cases, and a vastly improved appearance is the result.
The working rooms of the Department in the second South gallery
have been re-furnished with storage shelves, poisoning boxes, chests,
etc, The growing collection in the Department of Ornithology
necessitated the provision of more space, which was accomplished in

108 FIELD COLUMBIAN MusEUM—REportTs, VOL. I.

the re-arrangement of the Zoological halls. The Museum now has
two very handsome bird rooms and several groups and uniquely
mounted set pieces. The birch cases have all been mahoganized,
and new mahogany cases provided for a duck group, horn-bill group,
ostrich group, etc. New oological cases have been purchased, and
this material re-arranged and re-installed. Room 27 in this Depart-
ment contains North American species only, while Room 26 will con-
tain the remainder of the collection. The Department in a number
of directions has been noticeably improved.

A New DEPARTMENT.—With the assent of the Curators whose
departments would be drawn upon for some of the material, a
new Department named, ‘‘The Department of Monographic
Collections,” has been organized for the purpose of bringing
together for illustrating particular phases of culture, material
that had appropriate place in two or more of the departments
of the Museum, the general scheme being upon chronological
or evolutionary lines. Two divisions have been established in this
Department, Printing and Graphic Arts, and Musical Instruments.
The purpose of the first division is to show the history, the evolution
and the practical processes of the arts employed in printing and illus-
tration. The subjects are treated from the modern point of view,
that is to say, as technical processes of the useful and fine
arts of today, dating back to the fourteenth century, previous
to which time they are purely of archeologic interest. The
section of Graphic Arts has a large field. The arrangement
of the specimens is according to the classification of Koehler,
that is, first the old processes, including wood engraving,
steel and copper line engraving, etching and mezzo-tint, and the
lithographic and substitute processes. The modern methods are to
be shown by themselves, and include all of the applications of pho-
tography to the graphic arts. In the line of older processes, several
interesting accessions have been made. A small fund has been
expended in prints that illustrate in an excellent manner the results
of the different older processes, both plain and in color. They are
at the same time good specimens of fine art, worthy to be placed upon
the walls of the Museum. In the line of the modern processes there
has been added recently an excellent series of specimens illustrating
the half tone process, and the Museum section of Photography is
now preparing a collection that will illustrate the history and develop-
ment of photography, which will be included under this group. In
the division of Musical Instruments, the installation at this time is far
from satisfactory, owing to the crowded condition of the un-related

material in that part of the Building where it is now installed, and
considerable re-arrangement will be demanded before this division
will attract any particular attention. However, there is a good deal
of material already collected and subject to requisition, that when
grouped and placed with relation to chronology, geography, develop-
ment of culture as well as character of instrument, will make an
excellent beginning. So far, the unique examples are largely from
Asia and Africa, although South America furnishes some very good
objects. Several old piano movements, a calderarpa, and a col-
lection of the movements of the modern piano are in place, and
invite a great deal of attention from the visitors. It is hoped to add
to the divisions of this Department within the year a tentative instal-
lation in fire-making and horology.

Taxipermy.—The section of Taxidermy established during, the
year, while without a head, in the absence in Africa of its chief work-
man, was not instituted in advance of requirements, for without
considering new work, the material that has been restored, preserved
and saved, is remarkable. The greatest work has been done among
the old mounted mammals that have been re-installed in Hall 20.
The entire collection purchased before the opening of the Museum
has been carefully restored, embellished, repaired, renovated,
re-mounted, etc., and presents an entirely fresh appearance. Quite a
number of the specimens in this collection require such treatment
that they have been stored awaiting the return of the Chief Taxider-
mist. Great care has been bestowed upon the re-poisoning of the
entire collection. Eighteen large mammals, mostly antelopes and
deer, were mounted before the African expedition started, and two
groups of monkeys were designed, mounted and installed in the West
Court. The accessories for these groups, tree trunks, branches,
leaves, fruits etc., were also prepared by the Museum taxidermists.
Quite a number of fishes, reptiles and crustacea have been prepared
and mounted, and two hundred and thirty birds, mostly North
American, have been mounted and added to the Ornithological col-
lections. The Curator of Ornithology has prepared sketches and
details for a heron and a duck group on which work is now in
progress.

PHotocraPpHy.—Notwithstanding the poor quarters and lighting of
the only available place for photographic work, much has been
accomplished. The importance and need of such a section in the
Museum is fully exemplified in the demand which has been made
upon it from all departments for the illustration of publications and

FIRE PROTECTION AND Poticinc.—Fire Marshal D. J. Swenie, of
the City Fire Department, made a personal inspection of the Build-
ing with reference to fire protection in September. His report in
writing, dated September 28th may be summarized to say: ‘1 found
everything in first-class shape as regards cleanliness and freedom
from rubbish, or anything that would invite a fire. Your future
safety depends on the continuance of your present policy, viz., doing
everything possible in the way of prevention.” It being deemed
advisable to add further means of protection to the equipment already
in operation, the Museum has purchased hose, couplings and pipes
for ten new stations, a number of ladders, fire axes and pike poles,
and has constructed additional trap doors for admission: to the base-
ment. Chief Swenie made no suggestions with reference to the
Museum Fire Department, its rules, methods, etc., from which it is
inferred that these were satisfactory. The regular semi-monthly fire
drill of the guards is maintained, and the hourly inspection of the

Ocr. 1896. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. Tek

building, including the basement and main dome is continued. The
annual report of the Captain of the Fire Department conveys every
indication of an “efficient service in this important direction. The
guard service has been very satisfactory during the year. So satis-
factory in fact, that no changes have been made either in members or
methods. There has been no complaint filed against the guard from
the many thousands of visitors. The discipline and orderliness
of the building has been carefully maintained, and no thefts
reported.’

PERSONAL PROPERTY AND INTRINSICALLY VALUABLE MATERIAL.—A list of
the office furniture, desk supplies, of all tools, apphances, and acces-
sories so far purchased by the Museum, has been taken from the
vouchers and records, as a basis for the personal property inventory,
which it is proposed to make each six months or year as circum-
stances may dictate. These lists were checked by the head of each
department or division on whose account the material was purchased.
The items unaccounted for will be erased from the inventory and here-
after new purchases will be added as made, and it is believed this sys-
tem of searching for property of this character, will cause all con-
cerned to exercise more care in its custody. ‘The intrinsically valuable
exhibition material has also been checked from the records, with sat-
isfactory results, although it is contemplated to re-check the material
in Higinbotham Hall in February when the services of an expert in
jewels will be available.

Apmissions.—The admissions for the year have diminished about
98,000, and this decrease seems to have affected all of the classes of
visitors. There are several minor reasons for this falling off, but
the emphatic cause is that people who the first year visited the
Museum under the impression that it was a miniature World’s Fair,
have discovered their error, and being uninterested in the real scope
of the Museum, have passed their vacation hours in pursuits that
promised greater amusement and excitement than was furnished by
the Museum. This is especially illustrated by the fact that there
have been no great crowds on any one day, as was often the occur-
rence the first year. Visitors to the Museum now come for edification,
instruction and study. There is one point, however, to which special
attention should be directed in this connection, and that is the sharp
decrease in the attendance of school children and students. Of
course no record is kept of those school children and students who
attend on the free days, as no tickets are issued and there are no
means of distinguishing one visitor from another. But it is fair

112 FieELp CoLUMBIAN MusEUM—REportTs, VOL. I.

to assume that if the free admissions on pay days in any par-
ticular class vary one year from another, it is a strong indica-
tion that the interest of this class is abating. The Museum has
made every effort to encourage principals and teachers of schools
of all characters to induce their scholars and students to utilize the
opportunities offered by the institution to broaden and emphasize their
education in scientific and technical directions, and it must be admitted
that the Museum has been impressed during the year with the
indifference of teachers ; more especially those of the public schools.
Several schools have carried this indifference to the point of not even
providing their scholars with the tickets that are furnished through the
office of the Superintendent of Schools. It would seem that if the
attention of the proper authorities was brought to this condition of
affairs, remedial measures might be adopted. A great many classes,
and notably classes from the parochial schools have visited the
Museum accompanied by teachers to take up some particular line of
study, and in some instances after collections have been inspected and
notes taken, talks upon the collections have been made in the Lecture
Hall, the Curators often performing this service. This seems the
most desirable method of utilizing the material in the Museum for
the education of the young, and it is encouraged in every way possible.

Herewith are submitted financial statements, analysis of attend-
ance, list of accessions, names of members, etc., etc.
