ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR.
1914
To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History:
I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum
for the year ending December 31, 1914.
The Twentieth Anniversary of the foundation of the Museum was
ushered in with an intimation that it was necessary to curtail certain
activities in the Institution, in view of the default in payment of inter-
est on certain investments held in the Endowment Fund. There is
satisfaction in announcing, however, that this condition is only tem-
porary, for later in the year it was ascertained that the security for
the investments referred to was ample to protect the Institution as
to both principal and interest. The chief reduction in expenditure
was effected by the temporary abandonment of work in the Modeling
Sections of the Departments of Anthropology and Botany. It was
felt that the postponement of this work would not seriously affect the
plans of the Departments involved, and that the resumption of
operations might be undertaken at any future time without detriment
to the work in hand.
Probably the most important event of the year was the tender
to the Board of Trustees of a site for the new Museum building
in the reclaimed area south of Grant Park by the South Park Com-
missioners. It is confidently anticipated that ground will be broken
on this site before the date of the next report. Already the greater
part of the steel necessary for the construction of the building is on
the ground, and of the marble necessary for the exterior of the
structure more than one-half has been quarried and cut.
In view of the necessity of retrenchment in the matter of main-
tenance expenses, it was deemed advisable to discontinue for the
present the two lecture courses hitherto given on Saturday afternoons
in March and April, and October and November. The fact that there
is no hall in the present building to accommodate these lectures, and
the further fact that the only suitable auditorium with the requisite
seating capacity is situated some seven miles from the Institution, seems
to justify the temporary abandonment of this means of public instruc-
tion.

370 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. IV.
The publication of a series of picture postal cards, portraying
the various objects and groups installed in the Museum, was inaugu-
rated during the year. The sale of the cards has been encouraging,
for over fifty thousand have been disposed of, although they have
only been offered for sale a few months. A second series representing
forty-two objects and groups in the collections will shortly be pub-
lished.
The acceptance by Assistant Curator Osgood of the invitation
to serve on a United States Government Commission to study and
make recommendations regarding the management of the fur-seal
herd on the Pribiloff Islands, deprived the Department of Zodlogy
of his services for over half of the year. Leave of absence was granted
to Curator Dorsey of the Department of Anthropology for approxi-
mately one year. At least two months of Dr. Dorsey’s time, however,
will be occupied in an ethnologic survey of British India in behalf
of the Museum. The remainder of the leave granted is for a personal
undertaking.
The death of Byron L. Smith, Treasurer of the Museum, in March
has to be recorded. Mr. Smith had faithfully served the Museum
as Treasurer since its foundation, and as an officer of the Board, a
friend of the Institution, and a high-minded public-spirited citizen of
Chicago, his loss will be keenly felt. Mr. Solomon A. Smith was
elected Treasurer to succeed his father. The death of Mr. Joseph N.
Field, a Patron of the Museum, has also to be chronicled, and as a
memorial for his generosity to the Museum, the Board of Trustees by
resolution have named the hall in which the South Sea Islands
ethnological material is installed the ‘‘Joseph N. Field Hall.”
The death of Dr. Seth Eugene Meek in July of this year was a
shock to his associates, and is an irreparable loss to the Department
of Zodlogy, of which he was Assistant Curator for seventeen years.
Dr. Meek’s highly valuable services on behalf of the Institution were
recognized by the Board of Trustees in formal resolutions adopted on
the occasion of his death.
Mr. Carl E. Akeley in performance of his contract completed and
installed during the month of December a group of African Buffalo
consisting of five individuals. This group which is installed in the
South Court keeps fully up to the high standard of excellence exhibited
by those previously produced by him. A brief description of this
addition to the Museum groups is made elsewhere in this report.
References elsewhere indicate that the activities in the Institution,

MAINTENANCE.— The cost of maintenance for the year amounted to
approximately $135,000, which was $13,000 less than the amount
authorized by the Board of Trustees. The total amount expended for
all purposes was $198,600 being $38,500 less than the previous year.
The difference between the cost of maintenance and the actual amount
expended is accounted for by special appropriations for the purchase of
collections. The necessary repairs to the building were performed
by the regular maintenance force.
Pustications.— | he number of publications issued during the year was
seven. These seven comprise parts of five volumes, details of which

There were added during the year 2,639 books and pamphlets. The
principal growth has been through gifts and interchange of the Museum’s
publications with individuals and institutions. Among the important
purchases were complete sets to date of the Transactions of the Asiatic
Society of Japan; Journal far Ornithologie; Ornithologische Monats-
berichte; and Ornis. Through the continued interest of friends a num-
ber of valuable publications were received. Mrs. Frank W. Barker,
Chicago, presented ten parts of a rare work ‘‘The Acropolis of Ancon.”’
Dr. Berthold Laufer, Chicago, a copy of ‘‘Epigraphische Denkmaler
aus China, Part first”? recently published by Dr. Laufer and Otto
Franke. Publications were also received from Mrs. F. H. Chalfant
of Pittsburgh; Prof. Henry F. Osborn of New York; Sir Thomas W.
Northcote of London; Judge Curtis H. Lindley of San Francisco;
and Prof. Alexander W. Evans of New Haven. The courtesy of
several contemporary institutions enabled the Library to complete
sets of their publications. The more noteworthy were: Amer-
ican Geographical Society New York City; British Museum Lon-
don; Cambridge University, Cambridge, England; Kentucky Geolog-
ical Survey Frankfort; South Park Commission, Chicago; Museum of
Natural History, Marseilles, France; Royal Asiatic Society, Shanghai;
Royal Botanical Garden, Edinburgh, Scotland; Royal Museum of
Bohemia, Prag; Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft, Frank-
fort-am-Main; Zodlogical Institute, Strassburg; Royal Society of
Tasmania, Hobart; National University of La Plata, Buenos Aires.
The books and periodicals bound during the year number 504. As
routine work permits, the opportunity is being improved to make a
374 Fierp Museum or NaturaL History — Reports, Vor. IV.
more careful and extended analysis of many sets of periodicals. There
have been written and filed in the catalogues 21,000 cards. Twelve
installments of the John Crerar Library library cards have been
received and alphabetically arranged in the catalogue. During the
summer months the Stack Room was thoroughly cleaned, and a com-
plete rearrangement of the books made. A discarded exhibition case
was fitted with shelves and converted into a temporary bookcase.
DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LABELING.—The catalogue
cards prepared by the Department of Anthropology during the year
numbered 2,825, distributed as follows: Archzology, 401z; Mela-
nesian Ethnology, 1,374; Asiatic Ethnology, 1,050. These cards
with the addition of 1,885 from the preceding year make a total
of 4,710 that have been entered in the inventory books of the Depart-
ment. Of the cards relating to American archeology some have not
as yet been turned over to the cataloguer, being retained for further
reference in connection with the installation of the material which they
record. The number of accessions for the year is 26, of which 25 have
been recorded in the inventory. The volumes of inventories number
37. The labels printed for the Department during the year number
3,045, of which 621 were for the Melanesian division, with the addition
of 135 prepared for the Fiji collection by Assistant Curator Cole, 22 for
American Ethnology and over 2,000 for the Division of Asiatic Ethnol-
ogy. The photographic prints prepared for the Department were
classified and arranged in albums, of which 11 volumes were added to the
series, 9 containing photographs of Chinese and 2 of Tibetan specimens.
The Curator of Botany reports the preparation of 650 labels. Of
these all that have been printed have been placed against the objects
installed. The complete card catalogue of all the collectors and geo-
graphic regions represented by specimens installed, containing over
12,000 cards, has been finished and arranged in a new and readily
referable steel index case. This catalogue is unique and of the greatest
value not only to students of the world of plants, but to the efficiency of
the Department itself. The work of inventorying the specimens
organized has been kept up to date, 7,521 entries having been made
during the year, making the total number of entries 412,486.
The material catalogued in the Department of Geology during the
year included 590 mineral specimens, 355 economic specimens, and 364
miscellaneous. A total of 2,138 labels was prepared during the year,
of which 891 have been printed and distributed. The most important
series of these was that for the meteorite collection, the number made
for that purposé being 1,003. These labels show for each specimen
the classification of the meteorite, the locality of the fall or find, date

of fall or find, the weight of the specimen and its catalogue number.
A large number of miscellaneous labels in addition were prepared relat-
ing mostly to material received during the year. Several of these
labels were descriptive. Some of the series thus labeled include the
asphalt collection, a part of the petroleum collection, the collection of
Japanese volcanic material, the amber collection, a series of mammoth
and mastodon teeth, and about 200 miscellaneous specimens of min-
erals. The descriptive labels in Higinbotham Hall were provided with
white frames corresponding in color to the interior of the cases in order
to give a more attractive appearance to the installation.
In the Department of Zodlogy cataloguing and labeling of specimens
was continued as usual. In the various inventory books all new mate-
rial received from Museum expeditions during the year was promptly
entered as soon as the specimens were identified, and also card-cata-
logued. Some rearrangement in the mammal and bird collection has
been made, and the revision of old labels continued. The work of
rearranging and transferring the exhibition collection of shells to new
cases was commenced and about 2,500 specimens were placed on newly
prepared tablets and a new arrangement of labeling adopted. Under
the supervision of Assistant Curator Gerhard the entire time of one
assistant was devoted to this work. The preparation of labels for
the shells to be installed in the new cases is now progressing. The
entire collection of humming-birds, including about 400 species and sub-
species, was rearranged in new trays and properly card-catalogued, and
labels for specimens of reptiles, fishes, and crustaceans, placed on exhibi-
tion during the year, have been prepared and installed. The large
mammal skins stored in the basement of the Museum have been re-
arranged, listed, and catalogued in such a way that they are now readily
accessible for quick reference.

Accessions.— The majority of accessions credited to the Department
of Anthropology for the year have been made possible through the
generosity of friends. The collection of classical archeology has »
376 Firtp Museum or NaturaL History — Reports, Vot. IV.
been increased by two gifts of Mr. Edward E. Ayer —a large Etrus-
can bronze vessel with chain handle and a small variegated glass bottle
from Egypt. Two other Italian bronze cistas of the third cen-
tury B.C., acquired by Mr. Ayer in Rome, were purchased by the
Museum. These specimens belong to a type now very scarce, and
seldom, if ever, offered for sale on the market. A diorite statuette of a
woman from Egypt, of great artistic beauty, likewise obtained by Mr.
Ayer, was secured through exchange. The section of North American
archeology received from Mr. F. Schrott a flaked knife-blade of chert,
and from Mr. Clarence B. Moore of Philadelphia an assortment of
archeological material. Fifty arrowheads and two stone axes from
Rock Hall, Maryland, were secured through exchange with Mr. George
C. Roberts. To Mr. Homer E. Sargent the Department is indebted for
an ancient gold ring from Mexico which has been added to the exhibits
of American gold jewelry in Higinbotham Hall. Dr. W. S. Lowe,
Phoenix, Arizona, presented several sections of cane stem, some
wrapped up with a small cotton fabric, found under a ledge of rock
in the Camelback Mountains, fifteen miles northeast of Phoenix,
and to have served as an offering. American ethnology has been
enriched by a gift from Mr. Richard G. Ellis, consisting of a rawhide
lariat, wooden bow with skin case, a stone celt, and a stone disc; and by
a gift from Mrs. Frank A. Devlin of Chicago, comprising three finely
carved cups of pod from Costa Rica (modern) and two prehistoric pot-
tery vessels from the same locality. The following acquisitions from
Assistant Curator Owen’s recent expedition to Arizona have been
added: three finished two-faced Navaho blankets, and one in
the loom during the process of working, two-thirds being finished;
specimens of yarn, and implements used in weaving. Mr. Cleaver
Warden, Carlton, Oklahoma, presented the Museum with a peyote out-
fit of the Arapaho. Mrs. Frank W. Barker of Chicago presented the
Museum with a miscellaneous lot of 17 objects from Italy, Egypt, India,
northwest coast of North America, Hawaii, and Micronesia. ‘The fol-
lowing gifts were received by the section of Asiatic Ethnology: a
rhinoceros-horn presented by Mr. F. W. Kaldenberg of New York; a
Japanese gold piece (10 yen), and a Japanese rectangular silver coin
from Mrs. T. B. Blackstone; three printing-blocks from the Examination
Halls of Nanking from the Curator; an interesting mariner’s compass,
enclosed in a copper case, from Mr. Thomas Mason. Three paintings
representing polo matches, one album with 25 flower-pieces painted on
silk, and another containing an Atlas of Hunan Province with sixteen
hand-painted colored maps, were presented by Dr. John R. Taylor, in
recognition of services rendered him in the identification of his collection

of Chinese paintings. The most important gift accessioned during the
year are two exquisite silk-embroidered hangings presented by Dr.
F. W. Gunsaulus, who has always evinced a keen and generous interest
in the work of the Museum. These specimens were made in the
Imperial Atelier for use in the Palace, and are classical examples of the
marvelous skill attained by the Chinese in art needlework. They have
been placed on exhibition in special wall-cases in Hall 45. The Museum
is further indebted to Dr. Gunsaulus for two Japanese water-colors,
framed, one illustrating the pounding of tea-leaves preparatory to the
tea-ceremonies, the other showing a woman engaged in painting.
Three notable acquisitions for the Chinese Collection were effected by
purchase. The generosity of Mrs. T. B. Blackstone enabled the
Museum to secure a famous collection of ancient Chinese coins, 690 in
number. This numismatic collection is of intrinsic scientific value,
including, as it does, many rare and unique ancient specimens; particu-
larly it abounds in those earliest forms of currency, bronze-cast sham-
implements, like knives, axes, spades, bells, etc., which are of specific
archeological interest in permitting a study of the development of
these ancient utensils. Mr. Chalfant, the collector, unfortunately met
a premature death on January 14th, at the age of 52; his collection of
ancient bone carvings, reference to which was made last year, and the
coin collection in question, remain the most enduring monument of his
fruitful activity and his serious aspirations. Mr. Chalfant had spent
the last seven years of his life on the decipherment of the inscriptions
on these bone carvings and left a voluminous manuscript on this work
in two quarto-volumes. Mrs. Chalfant has placed this manuscript
with others in the trust of Associate Curator Laufer, with the request
that he take charge of the publication thereof. Two nephrite tablets
from an imperial jade book, the one inscribed in Manchu, the other
engraved with a pair of dragons, were purchased from Mr. Hackett.
Through the services of Mr. W. W. Simpson, an American missionary
in Taochow, Kansu, China, the Museum succeeded in obtaining the
seal and grant conferred upon the Taochow Lama Temple by the
Emperor K‘ang-hi in 1713. When Dr. Laufer secured the remaining
spoils of this temple at the time of his sojourn at Taochow in 1910, it
was impossible to get hold of these documents, as the abbot of the
monastery is not permitted to part with them without the sanction of
the high Church Dignitaries of Lhasa. Word was accordingly left with
Mr. Simpson, requesting him to arrange for this transaction, which is
now felicitously concluded. The large, square seal is carved from wood
surmounted by the figure of a standing lion which serves as a handle;
the K‘ang-hi date-mark is engraved on the top. The grant is written
378 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. IV.
out in Tibetan on imperial yellow silk, which has dragons and other
designs woven in, and is stamped with numerous seals. These unique
objects naturally are of principal value to the Museum, inasmuch as
they furnish substantial evidence for the fact that all treasures in its
possession from the Lama Temple in question were indeed turned out
during the K‘ang-hi era (1662-1722) and prior to the year 1713.
In the Department of Botany considerable valuable material for
exhibition purposes has been received. The Chicago Varnish Company
has presented a very complete and valuable collection of 344 charac-
teristic specimens of natural varnish gums, many of them the largest,
clearest, and most typical examples of their kind known. These have
been fully labeled and installed in two cases, accompanied by tubes of
varnishes made from each class of gum exhibited. From the Philippine
Bureau of Education a series of 147 typical fibers and objects utilizing
the same have been received and installed among other objects belong-
ing to the various families of plants they illustrate. Dr. Laufer has
presented the Department with several characteristic specimens of
“brick Tea” and of paper and raw material illustrating Chinese paper
made from Derge roots. The U.S. Bureau of Plant Industry has sent
in 168 specimens of crude drug substances that will serve to fill many
gaps in the systematic exhibitions of plant products. The U.S. Forest
Products Laboratory has contributed, in exchange, 44 examples of
wood-paper pulps and papers made therefrom. The Forest Economist
of India has presented 19 valuable forest products of India that
assist greatly in the representation of the economics of several plant
families, and the Section of Modeling, during the last month of its labors,
turned over 7 models of desmid species; 9 models of diatom species; a
full-size reproduction of a leafy, fruiting branch of the Horsechestnut
tree; a full-size reproduction of a flowering twig of the same; a full-size
reproduction of a pandanus fruit, a chocolate fruit, cakes of manu-
factured chocolate, and several sections of the fruit of Connarus. The
important additions to the herbarium during the past year comprise
the following: The private herbarium of Mr. Geo. F. Curtiss, consisting
of ferns of central North America, presented by Miss E. Curtiss; the
private herbarium of Miss Carrie A. Reynolds, consisting of plants
collected in northwestern North America, presented by herself; the
private herbarium of Mr. C. W. Dusener, consisting of plants collected
locally in Illinois and Indiana, presented by himself; and the following:

In the Department of Geology a number of accessions have been
received by gift, many of which are of unusual value. The most im-
portant of these is a skeleton of the American mammoth formerly be-
longing to the Chicago Academy of Sciences, which was presented
through the generosity of Mr. George Manierre. This skeleton was,
until recently, the only mounted skeleton of a mammoth on exhibition
in America, and it still remains one of the most nearly complete and
important. The skeleton was found in 1878 in Spokane County,
382 Fretp Museum or Narurat History — Reports, Vot. IV.
Washington. Owing to its fragile nature and the probability that it
might not remain long in the present Museum building, it was decided
not to remount the specimen at this time, and it has not, therefore, been
placed on exhibition. A valuable collection of minerals, with some fos-
sils, the whole numbering about 300 specimens, was received from Miss
E. Curtiss. Many of these specimens were of exceptional beauty and
rarity. A somewhat similar, though smaller, collection numbering 48
specimens was received from Harold Wegg. It was chiefly valuable
for its series of Mazon Creek fossils. Two large specimens of fossil
logs, collected by Prof. R. D. Salisbury on his recent trip to Patagonia,
were received during the year and made an appreciated addition. From
Mr. Charles Winston eight exceptionally fine specimens of Carbonifer-
ous plants from Pennsylvania and Rhode Island were received. Some
of these were of importance as having been cotypes of Lesquereux and
all are large and well-preserved specimens. Two excellent specimens
of fossil glass sponge, Hydnoceras bathense, in group form were gener-
ously presented by the New York State Museum. An excellent speci-
men of fossil fish from Wyoming was presented by Mrs. E. F. Goodall.
The skull of a Bison, found in an excavation near 67th Street, Chicago,
was presented by Thomas Farley. This is one of few occurrences known
showing the distribution of the buffalo in this vicinity. D.5. Renne,
Verona, Illinois, presented two large specimens of septaria, which are
interesting specimens of this type. From the Dolese & Shepard Com-
pany were received two excellent specimens of Orthoceras found near
Chicago. Besides the above a number of specimens of economic
interest were received through the kindness of donors. Among
these may be mentioned six specimens of gold and silver ore from
San Bernardino County, California, presented by Dr. T. A. Dumont;
27 examples of minerals and ores from Montana, presented by
Mr. J. E. Strawn; 15 specimens of gold ore from the Bella Mafiafia
Mine, Tlatlaya, Mexico, from William Brockway; 10 specimens illus-
trating the manufacture of tungsten lamps, from the General Electric
Company; two specimens of platinum and gold ore from the Boss Gold
Mining Company of Nevada; three specimens of vanadium ore from
the American Vanadium Company; 46 specimens of asphalt and its
products and two large photographs of Trinidad Lake, from the Bar-
ber Asphalt Company, and 11 specimens of coal tar and its products
from the Barrett Manufacturing Company. Dr. F. C. Nicholas pre-
sented a series of instructive specimens, which represented ores and
lavas of Sonora, Mexico, and Messrs. L. V. Kenkel and H. V. Guild
about 150 specimens of fossils and minerals from Idaho. In response to
a number of requests sent to producers of building stones and marbles,

a number of cubes and marble slabs were added to the building stone
collection, making it more representative than formerly. Twenty-one
specimens were received from these donors. By exchange a number of
important specimens were received, the most important being a large
and complete skeleton of the European Cave Bear from Austria. This
and a skull of the fossil whale (Zeuglodon) from Egypt were received
from Dr. F. Krantz. From the University of California there was re-
ceived by exchange a practically complete skeleton of the sabre-tooth
Cat from the Rancho la Brea beds of California. From Grebel, Wendler
& Company there was received a fine series of Brazilian phenacite crys-
tals, numbering 21 specimens. From Mr. George S. Scott of New York
City were received by exchange 14 specimens of various minerals; from
Prof. H. B. North of Rutgers College, 8 specimens of pseudomorphs
after marcasite; and from the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, three
large polished specimens showing the occurrence of the silver and nick-
el ores of Cobalt, Ontario. By purchase the Bishop Canyon meteorite
was obtained entire; also the Scott City meteorite, nearly complete,
and a large etched section of the Mount Edith, Australia, meteorite.
Other purchases included: 163 specimens showing varieties and modes
of occurrence of German amber; an interesting series, numbering 42
specimens, showing products of the eruption of the volcano of Sakur-
ajima, a specimen of a ‘‘bread crust’? bomb in this series being of
especial importance; a large specimen of Orthoceras, measuring six feet
in length; a series of models of diamonds cut from the Cullinan dia-
mond; and 11 teeth and two tusks of a young mastodon.
The Curator of Zodlogy reports that an important addition to the
Entomological collection was received from Dr. William Barnes of
Decatur, Illinois, who presented. to the Museum a collection of about
3,500 moths, which are in fine condition and many of them will ulti-
mately be used for the exhibition collection. Miss Elizabeth F. Curtiss
also presented to the Museum a collection of butterflies containing some
1,700 Specimens, which may supply some material for exhibition pur-
poses. A rare species of Sphinx Moth (Trogolegnum pseudambulyx)
from Mexico, a gift from Mr. B. Preston Clark of Boston, was new
to the Museum collection. The mammals and birds received from
Museum Expeditions were of much scientific value and contained sev-
eral new forms, which are being studied and will be the subjects of
papers now being prepared for publication. The most important
donation received was that of 26 large mammals and 3 birds from East
Africa, presented by Mr. Brent Altsheler of Louisville, Kentucky. The
collection consisted of 3 Ostriches, 4 Impala Antelopes, 1 Hartebeest,
2 Waterbuck, 1 Wart Hog, 2 Elands, 1 Lioness, 3 Grant’s Gazelle, 3
384 Fretp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, Voi. IV.
Oryx, 2 Dik Dik, 1 Kiipspringer, 4 Gerenuk, 1 Buffalo, and 1 Jackal.
Mr. E. B. Williamson of Bluffton, Indiana, presented a number of
birds during the year, and his continued interest is much appreciated.
Judge R. M. Barnes of Lacon, Illinois, presented a body of the rare
Trumpeter Swan. Analbino crow was purchased. The Osteological col-
lection was enlarged by 445 skulls cleaned for the study collection, and
5 skeletons were prepared and installed in the exhibition collection.
EXPEDITIONS AND FIELD Worx-—At the beginning of the year the
Museum had two zodlogical collectors in the field: Malcolm P. Ander-
son in Venezuela, and Robert H. Becker in Brazil. In January Mr.
Anderson proceeded to Peru and worked in high altitudes in the Andes
Mountains east of Chimbote, later going to Lake Junin (altitude
14,000 feet). After leaving Lake Junin May 7th, he spent a month
collecting in the vicinity of San Ramon on the Rio Chanchamayo, and
sailed for home early in June. While Mr. Anderson secured valuable
material, the specimens were less in number than could have been
expected, owing largely to a series of unfortunate accidents. In Janu-
ary, Mr. Becker proceeded from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Lagoa
Santa in the State of Minas Geraes, where he made an important col-
lection of birds and mammals. He then proceeded up the Rio San
Francisco to Barra, and from there pushed on up the Rio Preto to and
beyond Formosa, a small native town in a very little known region in the
interior of Brazil. This country has not been worked by collectors, and
it is unfortunate that after surmounting difficulties in reaching there,
his stay had to be limited to two weeks. Interesting mammals
and birds were secured, some of which are new and will be the subject of
a publication in due time. Coming down the Rio Preto on a raft, which
he built, Mr. Becker reached Barra safely, and from there went on to
Bahia and took a steamer to Trinidad, where he had been directed to
secure material for a group of Oil Birds (Steatornis caripensis). The
birds, eggs, nests, and accessory material were obtained, also photo-
graphs of the caves in which the birds live, and the group is now in
process of construction.
INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT.—A most en-
couraging feature of the work performed in the Department of
Anthropology during the current year is that, despite the reduction of
the force rendered necessary in January, the progress of installation
has been fully maintained to a remarkable degree, and, in fact, the work
in every line of activity has been pursued with energy and devotion.
A total of 70 new cases has been placed on permanent exhibition, all
fully and completely labeled. The material installed in these cases is
distributed as follows: Southwest Ethnology, 5 cases; New Hebrides, 12
JAN., IQI5. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 385
cases; Admiralty Islands, 12 cases; Fiji, 8 cases; Chinese, 19 cases; Tibetan,
14 cases. As regards American ethnology, one case of Apache medicine
shirts, one case of painted buffalo hides, two cases bearing on Paiute
ethnology from California and Nevada, and one case of Pima storage
baskets have been added to the Southwest Section, under the personal
supervision of Assistant Curator Owen. Hall 8 has been cleared of
nine cases of Borneo, three of Andaman and Nicobar, and one of Malay
Peninsula material, these thirteen cases being stored indefinitely with
the great number of installed cases already on the floor of the East
Court. As Halls 2 and 3 have recently been devoted to the exhibition
of New Hebrides, Admiralty and Fiji ethnology of the Joseph N. Field
Collections, this arrangement resulted in the necessity of removing the
following cases for storing in the East Court: three Sauk and Fox, one
Iroquois, one painted buffalo hides, two Apache, two Warm Springs,
three Shoshoni, one Klikitat, one Yakima, two Ute, two Wasco, one
Comanche, one Bannock, one Kutenai, one Umatilla, and two Nez
Perce. More than ninety boxes containing the Stanley McCormick
Hopi material have been unpacked in Hall 16. The material has been
classified and placed temporarily in new cases and storage bases, await-
ing permanent installation with the exhibits of Hopi ethnology which,
for the past fifteen years, have been displayed in Halls 15, 16, and 17.
In Hall 17 the Hopi Home Case has been completely overhauled, the
clothing renovated, and the five life-size figures repainted. Nine altar
cases in the same Hall have also been subjected to a most careful and
thorough examination and readjustment.
Peruvian pottery, particularly from Chancay, and Egyptian tomb
tablets have been properly treated and cared for to insure their preser-
vation. About 400 photographs which had been stored in Hall
48 for many years have been identified as belonging to about thirty
tribes, and each lot has been placed in the cases where the respective
tribal group is represented. Many of these prints, varying in character
and quality, show scenes no longer obtainable, and before being perma-
nently installed in the various cases, should be copied on permanent
paper for exhibition purposes, while the old solio prints may be pre-
served for the Department albums.
During the year Assistant Curator Lewis has installed thirty-two
cases of Melanesian material. These, with cases installed towards
the end of the previous year, include the collections from Fiji, the
New Hebrides Islands, and the Admiralty Islands. Assistant Curator
Cole codéperated with Dr. Lewis and superintended the installation
of the material from the Fiji Islands, which fills seven cases, illustrating
the clothing and ornaments, household utensils, weapons, and various
386 Fretp Museum or NatTurAL History — Reports, Vot. IV.
industries of the natives. The manufacture of tapa, an industry
common throughout the whole of the South Seas, is well illustrated
by numerous specimens of the implements used in the process, as
well as by a great variety of finished product. Fourteen cases of
New Hebrides material make an exhibit fairly representative of the
culture of these islands, many of which have now almost completely
lost their original features. ‘The collections are most complete from
Malekula, the largest and least known of the whole New Hebrides group.
In this island alone over twenty languages are spoken, and the culture
is by no means uniform. The collection illustrating the ceremonial and
religious life of this people,—consisting of carved images, masks, pre-
pared skulls, and figures of the dead,—is unusually complete. The
various types of weapons employed by the tribe are also well illustrated,
though many forms still remain to be represented. The Admiralty
Island collection now occupies fourteen cases, while a considerable
portion of it is not yet placed on exhibition. This collection is notable
for the wealth in objects characteristic of the high degree of skill reached
by these people in wood carving and decorative art. Particularly
striking are the huge drums, finely carved food-bowls, some of them
four feet in diameter, decorated wooden beds, and numerous carved
images of various sizes,— all manifesting a well-developed artistic sense.
There are several series showing the variations of design from realistic
to conventional and geometrical stages, such as displayed by the forms
of decorations on spears, daggers, and combs. Interesting groups of
decorative elements are also seen in their personal ornaments, among
which are included over 300 breast ornaments of shell and tortoise-shell,
all different in decorative design despite the uniformity of type, and
presenting excellent source-material for the study of variability of
ornamental forms. There is also shown an extensive series of shell-
bead dancing-aprons, which are rare. The process in the making of
these shell beads is illustrated by numerous specimens in the consecutive
stages of the work. Methods of fishing, including that of fishing by
means of flying kites from canoes, which is restricted to a few localities,
and the manner of preparing articles of food, are likewise shown, to-
gether with models of various types of canoes. Worthy of particular
mention are the four remarkable feather masks from Hansa Bay, New
Guinea, presented by the late Mr. Joseph N. Field, and now placed on
exhibition in the East Court. The Melanesian collections, thus briefly
outlined in their main contents, have been assembled in Halls 2 and 3,
which were thrown open to the public in the beginning of November.
In addition to the installation and labeling of cases, much work has
been accomplished by Assistant Curator Lewis in overhauling and sorting
AN., IQI5. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 387
out the different collections from other parts of Melanesia already in
the Museum, many of which had not been catalogued. This cataloguing
is now being pushed on with energy, and approximately 900 specimens.
of the Parkinson collection, as well as a few other small collections, have
been entered and numbered.
In the Asiatic Section installation has progressed steadily. Two
large special cases designed for the Chinese stage-scenes were delivered
in January, and all material and labels relating to these exhibits
having been fully prepared in advance, their installation was achieved
without delay. This completed the exhibits of Hall 53, which is now
entirely devoted to a display of Chinese theatricals. Moreover, two
new Halls have been added this year to the existing six, referred to and
described in preceding Reports, and made accessible to the public.
The Tibetan collection secured under the auspices of the Mrs. Black-
stone Fund has received a further extension in Hall 50, which consists
of 12 cases illustrating the domestic, social, and religious life of the
Tibetan people in the following phases: objects used in the household;
consumption of food, including articles of food, as well as the utensils
serving for their preparation; consumption of tea; consumption of
spirits and tobacco; basketry; ceremonial silk scarves exchanged by
people in social intercourse; writing and printing; charms and domestic
art; musical instruments, censers and other objects, and paraphernalia
employed in the temples for religious worship. The case illustrating
the process in the production of paper and books is of great culture-
historical interest; it forms a counterpart of the case arranged two years
ago and displaying the arts of printing and engraving in China and
Japan. It contains exquisite specimens of Tibetan manuscript work
written in gold and silver on black-lacquered paper, manuscripts illu-
minated by colored miniatures, in which the Lama scholars excelled as
successfully as the medizval monks, and fine samples of Tibetan and
Mongol prints; especially notable are some books printed in vermilion
in the Imperial Palace of Peking (so-called palace editions), and one of
the largest and heaviest books ever turned out (93% pounds in weight;
pages measuring 2 feet 10% inches in length and 144 inches in width).
The case, further, contains an interesting autograph written in vermilion
ink by the Dalai Lama with his own hand and transmitted by him to
Mr. Laufer for presentation to the Field Museum when he had an
interview with him at Peking in 1908; there is also on view an attractive
series of seals with wax reproductions of their inscriptions, writing-
utensils, and appliances of the printer. Hall 49, which had served
during the last years as a storage-house for the East-Asiatic material
and as the basis of operation to prepare and catalogue it, has been
388 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot., IV.
entirely cleared, as it is planned to utilize this room for the continuation
of the Tibetan exhibits, which will comprise means of transportation,
saddlery, industries, costumes, jewelry, painting, and the culture of the
Tibetan nomad tribes. Owing to this arrangement it was made possible
to relieve the congestion prevailing in the East Court by transferring
24 new cases to Hall 49. A Tibetan coracle and the trappings of a
horse, shown on a papier-maché model, are already installed in this Hall.
Much time was consumed on the final installation of the large
collection of Chinese stone sculpture. The pieces are of great dimen-
sions and heavy in weight, and required drilling of their bases to secure
solid and permanent intrenchment on the shelves. The material is
installed in 12 two-foot cases, eight of which have been placed in the
Rotunda of the East Annex, Hall 58, which seemed to offer the most
suitable location. In order to make the best use of the available space,
the principle of concentric arrangement has been adopted, the centre
being occupied by a small special case sheltering an octagonal pillar
inscription of the T'ang dynasty,— an important historical document
which records the capture of the city of Taochow in Kansu Province
through the Tibetans in the eighth century. From this centre radiates
the collection of sculpture with an inner ring of four cases arranged
in a square, and fortified by an outer ring of four others, flanking the
niches. The distribution, balancing, and classification of the material
in the cases proved a task beset with no small difficulties, partially due
to the difference in bulk and weight of the single sculptures, partially
owing to the repetition of the same types through the various periods of
Chinese history. A chronological principle and simultaneously one
according to religious types and subjects has been brought into effect.
The collection well demonstrates the development of Chinese sculp-
ture in its total range from the fourth to the eighteenth century, em-
bracing the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism. Three main
chronological divisions have been established: the early or pre-T‘ang
period, fourth to sixth century, medieval or T'ang period (618-906),
and the retrospective modern or after-T‘ang epoch. The assemblage
of ancient Taoist sculpture is probably unique and exceptionally rich
in beautiful statues of the Supreme Deity of the Taoist pantheon; it
fills two cases which have been added to the Taoist section in Halls 46
and 47,— one of these harboring in addition tombstones and inscription
tablets of the T'ang period. A goodly number of Taoist sculptures
has been incorporated in the Buddhistic department, in order to bring
out the idea of the dependence of Taoist on Indian-Buddhist art and the
interrelations of the two religions. As regards the exhibits of Buddhist
statuary, the general scheme of division followed is: the Buddhas, the

JAN., IQI5. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 389
Bodhisatvas, and the clergy, under each of the three chronological
epochs. One case is entirely devoted to the portrait-statues of Bud-
dhist monks from the T‘ang period to the present, as in this manner a
most striking phase in the religious and mental development of China
is very forcibly impressed upon us. Nothing could better illustrate the
ennobling influence of Buddhism on Oriental society and its lofty intel-
lectual aspirations than these portraits of religious leaders with their
refined and spiritualized features, and their sermon of salvation. It
should be said that the present condition of the Halls does not permit
of adherence to a rigidly scientific system of classification of these
exhibits.
In the Department of Botany cases representing the following
economic exhibitions have been installed and fully labeled during the
year: four case units of Varnish Gums; one case unit illustrating the
Cycad family and its products, especially its starch roots and starches;
one case unit containing the Gingko and the Yew families and their
characteristic fruits and utilizations; a case illustrating in complete
groups the Bacteria and their life history, the Diatoms and their methods
of reproduction and growth, the Desmids and their life characteristics,
and the unicellular Alge; a case illustrating all the phases in the life
history of the Marchantiacez; one unit case containing the Morning-
glory family and characteristic products; three case units of the Rubiads
and their products, including an interesting reproduction of the plant
known as the “‘living ant’s nest”’; one unit case illustrating the products
of the Maple family; a unit devoted to the fruit of the Coco-de-mer palm
and the uses to which it is put; one unit case each comprising the
products of the Milk-weed and the Horsechestnut families; a case
containing both the Passionflower and the Benzoin families and their
utilized products; two units exemplifying the various uses supplied by
the Ferns; three units devoted to the Grass family, especially the fibers
yielded by various species; one case each exemplifying the characters
and uses of fibers yielded by the Screw-pine, the Sedge, the Palm, the
Eel-grass and Banana families; one case exemplifying the botany and
products of the Snakeroot family; one case containing both the Elm and
the Protead families; one case containing new products of the Fig
family; two unit cases devoted to the fruit characters, and various useful
products of the Sumach family; one case devoted to the products of
Yam and the Iris families; a case containing various characters and use-
ful products of the Coca family; one case illustrating the Lignum-vite
and the Quassia families; one unit case showing the products of the
Mahogany family; two units devoted to the Connarus and the Bean
families; one case comprising the characters and useful materials yielded
390 Fietp Museum oF NaturaL History — Reports, Vou. IV.
by the Buttercup and the Akebia families and another the Barberry and
the Moonseed families; and three cases representing the botany and
products of the Monkey-pot and the Pomegranate families.
In the Department of Geology two large mounts have been installed
in Hall 36. One of these is the large Leptomeryx slab described in last
year’s report. This has been installed in a floor case of standard type,
7144x 4% feet in size, in which it makes an effective and attractive
exhibit. The other large mount installed is a skeleton of a Cave Bear
from Triest, Austria, which has been placed in a temporary case. The
skeleton is remarkable for its large size and completeness. In connec-
tion with the installation of these mounts some rearrangement of the
other cases was made. There were also added to the exhibition series
of fossil vertebrates a skull of Aceratherium and one of Ancodon,
complete skeletal fore and hind legs of the fossil camel Oxydactylus
and a skeletal hind leg of Alticamelus. The two large fossil logs from
Patagonia, collected by Professor Salisbury, have been installed in
this Hall. One of these logs is eight feet in height and two feet in
diameter and the other is nearly as large. The structure of the wood
is beautifully preserved and the evidences of former tree growth are
so unmistakable as to make them impressive specimens. The large
slab of Uintacrinus, which has for some time been exhibited in this Hall,
was found to be undergoing considerable disintegration owing to im-
perfect adherence of the slab to the plaster backing. It was therefore
taken down, the thin exhibition surface removed and carefully scraped
and readjusted. ‘This was then remounted on a firm plaster bed. By
this means a permanent adherence of the slab to the plaster has been
obtained and a durable and attractive mounting achieved. In Hall 32
the large specimen of Orthoceras from Troygrove, Illinois, and a number
of smaller specimens were installed and some minor rearrangements
made. In Hall 30a series of models showing the diamonds cut from the
Cullinan diamond has been placed in connection with the model of that
diamond. In the same Hall a large number of mineral specimens have
been added to the series on exhibition, less important specimens having
been removed wherever necessary to provide room. The series added
includes a number of new species or occurrences that have been acquired
in recent years, so that all important mineral specimens may now be
considered to be on exhibition. In Hall 31 the series of lavas and vol-
canic products has been thoroughly rearranged in geographical groups
and a number of specimens added. The additions include the series of
specimens from the Japanese volcano of Sakurajima. The series of
concretions, faults, and veins in this collection was also rearranged and
some additions made. Some marcasite stalactites which had begun to
TANS OLS: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 391
show signs of disintegration, were thoroughly treated with shellac and
further decay checked. In connection with the rearrangement of the
structural collections in this Hall, that of the study collection was car-
ried on and considerable interchange of specimens made. About one-
quarter of the entire exhibit, which occupies fifteen cases, was com-
pletely reinstalled in order to bring the series to a satisfactory condition.
To the economic collections in Hall 34 a large number of specimens has
been added and a considerable amount of reinstallation performed. In
several of the cases the exhibits were entirely removed in order to allow
painting of the interiors. These interiors are now all a uniform black.
New series installed in this Hall include a number of rare earths; a series
illustrating the manufacture of tungsten wire; a series of minerals
resembling gold; several series illustrating the uses of cobalt, nickel,
zinc, and tin; a number of additions to the building stone collection,
including several marble slabs; and a model of a log washer for iron ores.
The large specimens of ores in this Hall, which had hitherto rested
directly on the floors of the cases and the finish of which they injured
on account of their weight and jagged surfaces, have been provided with
individual wooden supports placed so as not to be visible. Further
injury to the cases has thus been averted. Additions to the collections
illustrating the uses of cobalt, zinc, and nickel compounds have been
prepared in the Museum work-rooms and placed on exhibition. These
include the pigments which have these metals for base. They are
shown as varnished coatings on blocks of wood four inches square.
Beside each block is placed a tube of the pigment in oil partly emptied
into a small watch glass, in order to show its color in quantity. Besides
the zinc pigments there have been added to the collection illustrating
uses of zinc, a dry cell with the zinc exposed to illustrate electrical uses
of zinc; a zinc etching block and a print from it; a jar of zinc ointment,
and powdered willemite used as a fluorescent screen in X-ray and
radioactive work. A beginning has been made of a collection to illus-
trate uses of the rare earths and others of the less familiar elements. A
Nernst lamp illustrates uses of zirconia, and a Welsbach mantle shows
an important application of thoria and ceria that has made monazite
valuable. A series of specimens shows all stages of the evolution of the
filament of the tungsten electric light from the mineral scheelite to the
wire ready to place in the lamp. One of the most interesting uses of
titanium is shown in an example of the yellow enamel used by dentists.
In order to obtain space for these additions, a collection of exhibited
antimony ores was reduced. There has been added to the gold series a
group of specimens illustrating the appearance of those minerals which
are most frequently mistaken for gold. The series consists of two
392 Fretp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, Vot. IV.
specimens of gold in quartz and flake gold for comparative purposes and
selected specimens of fool’s gold or pyrite, copper pyrite, native copper
in slate, and two specimens of mica, one of which is mixed with sand
and oneis pure. To the collection of building stones exhibited, 27 cubes
and slabs have been added. A large specimen of fire clay from Missouri,
received in 1912, has been installed in a case in this Hall, space being
obtained by moving some less important specimens. Some of the less
important pigments have been removed from their place of exhibit in
Hall 33 and in their place has been installed the collection of coal tar
products presented by the Barrett Manufacturing Company. The
production of dyes, etc., from these substances make them of especial
interest at the present time. Some additions have been made to the
coal mine model in order to make some of its features more readily
appreciable. Some of the underground portion has been cut away in
order to show the position of the ventilating shaft and its connection
with the hoisting shaft. This makes more evident the course of the
ventilating system. In order to make the exhibit of washed iron ores,
more instructive a small model of a log washer was constructed by the
Assistant Curator and installed in connection with that exhibit. The
model shows a trough containing a log bearing a series of fins arranged
in a screw-like manner; a hopper and track on which the unwashed
ores are brought to the washer; an engine house containing the en-
gine for providing power for operating the washer; and a car for remov-
ing the washed ore. A scale of one-third of an inch to the foot was
carefully adhered to in constructing the model, such a size having been
adopted in order that the model might not overbalance the collection.
The model is chiefly intended to assist the label in making the collection
more instructive. The usefulness of such models has been very favor-
ably commented on by visitors, on account of the ease with which the
details of the models can be studied as compared with the noise, confu-
sion, and complexity encountered in visits to large working plants.
Some improvements have been made in the installation of the collection
of petroleums shown in Alcove 107, chief among them being replacement
of the large two-gallon bottles of petroleum products by smaller bottles,
which are uniform in pattern with those in which the crude petroleums
are installed. The appearance of the collection has thus been much
improved. The installation of the other petroleum products has like-
wise been somewhat revised andimproved. The series showing asphalts
and their uses received from the Barber Asphalt Company, with two
large photographs of Trinidad Lake, has been installed in Hall 35.
Several new specimens of graphite have also been added to the graphite
collection in this Hall. The specimens illustrating lithology and

structural and dynamical geology, which occupy the drawers under the
lithological exhibits, have been completely reinstalled; all specimens
have been placed in trays in a logical order and labeled, the drawers
have been numbered, and indexes have been prepared so that any
specimen wanted can be found at once and can be shown to anyone
desiring to study it. Material was prepared for several new cases for
the work of the Harris Fund, in addition to a number of duplicates of
those previously prepared. The new subjects illustrated include semi-
precious stones, varieties of common rock, volcanic products, and coal-
tar products. In the laboratory of vertebrate paleontology the prepara-
tion of vertebrate fossils has been actively continued and a considerable
amount of material has been prepared. A skeleton of the sabre-tooth
tiger was prepared for mounting; completion of the preparation and
mounting of the slab containing 25 skeletons of the Water Deer, Lepto-
meryx, described in last year’s report, was accomplished; the large
slab of Uintacrinus was taken apart and entirely remounted; a skeleton
of the Cave Bear was repaired and remounted; a nearly complete
skeleton of the fossil camel Oxydactylus and a skull of Elotherium were
prepared for exchange; a partial skeleton of Oxydactylus and skulls
of Aceratherium and Ancodon were prepared for exhibition; a large
specimen of Orthoceras was cleaned of plaster and a durable mount
provided; the skeleton of the Washington mammoth presented by Mr.
George Manierre was disarticulated and carefully packed in boxes so
as to provide safety in storage; a set of jaws of the large shark Char-
charodon was cast in plaster and mounted for the purpose of replacing
the former exhibit of this kind which was somewhat defective as to de-
tail; some progress was made in mounting a skeleton of Canis diurus,
and the entire collection of teeth of mammoths and mastodons, some
of which were undergoing disintegration, was carefully treated in such a
manner as to insure its preservation.
In the Department of Zodlogy a large habitat group of American
Bison or Buffalo, consisting of five animals, a large old bull, a young
bull, two females, and acalf, has been added to the exhibition collection.
The scene is laid in Nebraska. Burrowing Owls, Prairie Dogs, and
Rattlesnakes, which are common in that prairie country, are included in
the group. The following single mammals have been installed and
placed on exhibition in the serial collection: Chinese Takin (Budorcas
bedfordi), a rare large mammal; Kansu Deer (Cervus kansuensis);
Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus), a rare species from the Andes of
Peru secured by Museum expedition, as was also the White-lipped
Peccary (Tayassu pecari); Drill (Papio leucocephalus); White-tailed
Mongoose (Ichneumia albicauda), and Porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum).
394 Fietp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. IV.
Painted backgrounds for a large group of Moose and a group of South
American Capybara, including a Jaguar, have been prepared, and con-
siderable work on the accessories for both these groups has already been
done. The mounting of the specimens for the Moose group, very fine
specimens secured by a Museum expedition last fall, is progressing in a
satisfactory manner. A new method for making artificial bodies
(manikins) for small mammals was introduced by Taxidermist Pray,
which seems a decided improvement over the old way. A striking
group of East African Buffalo, created by Carl E. Akeley, was
installed in the South Court late in the year. This group, which
includes two old bulls, one young bull, a cow, and a calf, is an impres-
sive example of the possibilities of modern taxidermy. ‘The five bulky
animals are so skilfully and naturally grouped that the effect of space
and power is not lost even in the confinement of a case of moderate size.
In addition to simplicity and fidelity to nature both in grouping and in
modeling, the individual animals of this group have an unusual quality
produced by a new and superior technique in the treatment of the skin.
The principal feature of this method consists in applying the tanned
skin to the model in a dry instead of moistened condition. The result
in the finished specimen, especially in the case of thinly haired animals,
is much more likelife than that of other methods, the skin appearing
soft and natural instead of hard and unyielding. In the exhibition
of comparative osteology 445 skulls were cleaned, and the follow-
ing skeletons mounted and installed: Gila Monster (Heloderma
horridum); Box Turtle (Cistudo carolina); Jacana (Jacana spinosa);
Pigeon (Columba livia), and Cave Bat (Eonycteris spelea). A large
habitat group of birds representing bird life in the far north on Walrus
Island, Alaska, has been completed and placed on exhibition. This
group includes 51 birds with nests, eggs, and several nestlings; some of
them, notably the Red-faced Cormorant, are rare and are becoming
more so each year. Among the most interesting birds in this group may
be mentioned, in addition to the Red-faced Cormorants, theTufted
Puffins, Horned Puffins, Paroquet Auklets, and various species of
Gulls (among them the Red-legged Kittiwake Gull), Murres, etc.
An instructive feature of the group is in showing the Glaucous and
Glaucous-winged Gulls stealing and eating the eggs of the Pallas Murres,
which breed in great numbers on this barren, isolated island. For the
serial collection there were mounted: 1 Coot (Fulica americana); 1 Red-
shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus); 2 Kittlitz Murrelets (Brachyramphus
brevirostris), and 1 Harlequin Duck (Histrionicus histrionicus). A
number of bird skins from fresh specimens sent in for the study collec-
tion, including the Snowy Owl, were prepared. A number of fishes and
JAN., I9QI5. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 395
crustaceans have been painted for the exhibition collection. One
exhibition case of mounted fishes from California was installed, and 88
fishes, 79 from Florida and California and 9 from Alaska, have been
mounted and painted. Included are many handsome species, among
them being a number of Salmon and Trout from California. A con-
siderable number of specimens of various insects, moths, butterflies,
beetles, etc., have been pinned and prepared. Early in the year 16 A-
shaped cases were delivered for installing the exhibition collection of
shells and insects to replace the flat cases at present in use. The Assist-
ant Curator of Entomology devoted considerable time to rearranging
shells for the new method of installation. Upon the return of Collector
Becker from South America he was added to the staff of assistants in
this Department and devoted his time to this work.
THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.
—The Curator reports that the practical inauguration of Mr. Harris’
benefaction has been attended with success. The cases prepared dur-
ing the year number 207, making, with the cases previously installed,
a grand total of 286. The pupils in the public schools examining
these collections during the year numbered 368,044. The schools pro-
vided with cases were 326, divided as follows: Main Schools 266,
Branch Schools 39 and Vacation Schools 21. Each Main School was
provided with not less than 6, each Branch School with not less than
3, and each Vacation School with not less than 12 cases at a time.
The automobile delivery car designed for the distribution of the
circulating collections was delivered during the year and has proved
satisfactory. It has a capacity of 45 cases and travels each day of the
school week approximately 80 to 100 miles. Thirty-four of the cases
will be exhibited at the Panama Pacific International Exposition, San
Francisco, during the coming year.

BUILT-IN HOLLOW MANIKIN METHOD FOR MOUNTING SMALL MAMMALS.
The initial step is to wire the specimen as though the ordinary method of mount-
ing were to be followed. The inside of the skin is then given a coating of poison
paste and immediately afterwards the composition is put in and modelled. The
most satisfactory composition used so far is one made of library paste, water, and a
pinch of arsenic, to which is added whiting and sufficient chopped tow to make the
mixture of the proper consistency for modelling but nevertheless sticky. The cavity
in the manikin is then lined with cloth and filled with sawdust, which, when the
specimen is dry, is removed by means of the plug (p) inserted in the end of the body,
or in the side, if the animal is to be in a recumbent position. Depressions in the
anatomy are maintained by the use of insect pins, which are cut off flush when the
skin has adhered properly to the manikin. The legs of very small mammals may
be filled wholly with composition, as is shown in the figure (c), but the legs of larger
mammals should have a wrapped core. The tail wire (t) is merely wrapped with
cotton to secure the required thickness. The advantage of this hollow manikin
method is that the mounted specimen is light, very durable and almost indestructible.
