ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR.

1916

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, 1916.

The year has been profitable in accessions of material notwith-
standing there have been no expeditions or field work except of a local
and unimportant character. More or less confusion is observable
throughout the Museum by reason of the prosecution of the large work
of installing new material and re-installing old material and selecting
material from storage for display, all occasioned by the labor constantly
going on in preparation for the exhibition halls of the new Museum
building. In fact, the justifiable pride taken in the orderly, system-
atic and classified arrangement of the public courts and halls of the
Museum is rapidly disappearing in the face of the over-crowded condi-
tion and shifting about of cases in preparation necessary to the consum-
mation of the ambitious plans of the occupation of the new Grant
Park structure.

Mr. George F. Porter, Trustee,, has resigned his place upon the
Board because of his intended protracted absence from the city. The
vacancy has been filled by the election of Mr. Henry Field, second
grandson of Mr. Marshall Field, the founder of the Institution.

There have been no retirements from the scientific staff during the
year. Dr. J. Alden Mason, of the University of California, has accepted
the position of Assistant Curator in Mexican and South American
Archaeology, and has entered upon his duties. An appointment to
the Assistant Curatorship of the Division of North American Ethnology,
authorized by the Board of Trustees, has not been decided upon. Mr.
Carl L. Hubbs, of the Leland Stanford Junior University, has accepted
the position of Assistant Curator of Ichthyology and Herpetology and
will commence his duties early in 191 7. Both of these appointments
are from the younger school of their respective sciences, but come
to the Museum with the very highest endorsement and with the promise
of a useful career in the Institution.

Mr. Stanley Field having assumed the cost of restoring and main-
taining the activity of the Section of Plant Reproduction in the Depart -

certain annual sum. This act, affording such striking evidence of
Mr. Field's interest in the work of the Museum and sympathy for
those who are performing it, has brought to the employes a comforting
assurance of the future, which not only spreads contentment and relief
throughout the Institution, but must add to the efficiency of the work
of its beneficiaries.

The assumption by Mr. Edward E. Ayer of the cost of supplying
to the Ayer Ornithological Library any desirable publications not now
contained in the library, or which may hereafter be published, was
announced during the year — a provision for the future of this import-
ant section of the Museum Library which can hardly be over-estimated.

Another gift from the membership of the Board of Trustees is that
of Mr. Arthur B. Jones, who assumes the cost of securing and installing
a group of six North American buffalo with landscape painting and
accessories. This gift which enables the Museum to present in the best
form known to the art of modern taxidermy this familiar but practically
extinct and exclusively North American mammal in different ages and
sex, is a most highly valued contribution to the exhibition halls of
the Department of Zoology.

During the year the material procured at the San Francisco Expo-
sition has arrived at the Museum and altogether constitutes a very
valuable acquisition to all the departments of the Museum. The
Chinese pagodas are now installed in eleven cases. The Chinese
gateway has been erected in the main dome court, while the minerals
and birds and models and other items, all most desirable, have been
cared for in the proper departments.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held December nth, by
unanimous vote permission was asked of Mr. Stanley Field to name
one of the exhibition halls of the new Museum building in his honor,
requesting him to select a hall. Mr. Field has since announced his
preference for the Hall of Mammals.

A most noteworthy gift to the Museum during the past year has
been the private herbarium of the late Elihu Hall, consisting of ap-
proximately 35,000 specimens, presented by the heirs of Mr. Hall.
This extends the plant collection in the Museum to most gratifying
proportions and adds much new material of unusual interest and
worth.

Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus has presented the Museum with his re-
markable collection of Japanese sword guards, a collection which has
attracted much interest and comment while being on exhibition at the
Chicago University. Accompanying this most unique and almost price-
less collection, were a number of rare and costly volumes of Japanese

Art. The Board «>f T iuIus a in rccog-

These publications have been distributed to all names on the mailing
list both in domestic and foreign countries with the exception of those
foreign countries where service has been temporarily discontinued by
the Bureau of International Exchanges. If a prompt acknowledgment
of these publications may be taken as an evidence of appreciation, it
has been noted that practically all of the acknowledgment cards have
been signed and returned. With the increasing number of publications
issued and the increasing demand, especially for the earlier numbers, it
has been found advisable to take an inventory of the stock actually on
hand. An inventory of the half-tones has also been taken.

Tomkinson's Japanese Collection; Jacoby's Japanische Schwertzieraten.
Mr. Edward E. Ayer presented copies of Nelson's Birds of Yorkshire
and Dixson's Game Birds. Mr. Ayer has also caused to be ordered for
the Museum a collection of ornithological works, which when secured,
will further enrich the Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library. The
students and artists, as they become acquainted with the resources of
the Museum Library, find it the only library in the city containing so
many rare and beautifully illustrated ornithological works. Mrs
Edward E. Ayer presented a copy of her translation of the Memorial
of Fray Alonso Benavidies, 1 630. The Cambridge University, England,
sent a set of sixteen volumes of its Archaeological and Ethnological
publications. From the Instituto Biologico of Mexico was received
eight of the earlier volumes of La Naturaleza. The Canadian Institute
sent fifteen of its earliest publications. The Deutsche Morgenlandische
Gesellschaft, Leipzig, presented twenty-three volumes of its Zeitschrift.
The Academy of Arts and Sciences, Boston, completed its file of Pro-
ceedings of fifty-one volumes to date, by sending volumes one to
twenty-eight inclusive. Through the generosity of various governments
represented at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the library
received a hundred books and pamphlets. Among these contributions
was that of the Chinese Commission consisting of a work in sixteen
volumes, bound in cloth cases, entitled Km ting shu king t'u shuo,
issued by the command of the late Empress Dowager in 1903, and now
out of print. The Argentine Commission gave twenty-eight volumes,
among which is a set of the Boletin of the Cordoba Academy of Natural
Sciences, particularly desirable. The purchases have been confined to
a limited number of books required by the staff for immediate use. Of
the twelve orders approved, eleven were filled and these added thirty-
five works to the Departmental libraries. Through exchanges with
foreign book dealers for publications issued by the Museum, thirteen
other important volumes desired by the staff were obtained.

Year after year the periodical lists are examined by the Curators and
those periodicals that were supposed to have permanent value when
subscribed to but have become of less use to the staff, have been dropped
from the list. At the present time ninety-eight periodicals are received
with twenty continuations.

The increased cost of materials used in binderies is reflected in the
advance in the schedule of prices for binding, leather binding being
almost prohibitive. For several years, however, all books except a few
sets in continuation have been bound in cloth or library buckram in
preference to leather as more durable bindings. During the year six
hundred and thirteen books and pamphlets have been bound.

200 of these labels were handwritten with white ink on black card-
board to serve as temporary labels until printed ones could be secured;
the remainder were from the Section of Printing. Most of the labels
were for newly installed economic specimens. A total of 722 printed
labels has been received during the year, the larger part being for
the meteorite collection. These have all been installed with the cor-
responding specimens. There remains in the hands of the printer,
copy for 1,143 labels.

In the Department of Zoology the cataloguing and labeling of the
South American birds received from Museum expeditions has been
continued during the year. A regional catalogue of South American
mammals was prepared in the form of an index of about 650 cards. A
total of 1,105 labels were installed as follows: 36 labels for mounted
fishes ; 2 for the Moose group ; 2 for the osteological exhibit ; 1 for South
American bird group; 55 for mounted birds and 1,009 for the shell col-
lection. The entries made during the year number 1,817, °f which
1,663 were for ornithology and 154 for mammalogy.

accessions. — In the Department of Anthropology the most remark-
able purchase of the year is represented by the acquisition made at the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition, consisting of a Chinese
honorary gateway and eighty-four models of Chinese pagodas. This
material was turned out by the Industrial School maintained by the
Jesuit Establishment Sikkawei near Shanghai. The gateway is entirely
carved of teakwood, and in its monumental character presents a fine
example of Chinese architecture, and thus far is the first monument of
this art in the Museum that is constructed on the size of an original.
The magnitude of the composition, the harmony of proportions, the
high technical skill, the numerous artistic and beautiful carvings, the
wealth of ingenious decorative designs which embody a fine record of
Chinese thought, make this object a most striking and prominent
acquisition. The collection of eighty-four models of Chinese pagodas
has both a highly scientific and an educational value. The pagodas are

with the mainland of south-eastern Asia. Of special interest is a frag-
ment of Celadon pottery of Chinese origin, the body of which exhibits
a pure white porcelain mass, while as a rule the early Celadon glaze is
wrought over a crude stoneware body. Mr. Arthur B. Jones enabled
the Museum to acquire a silver statuette made in Lhasa, Tibet, and
inlaid with pearls, turquois, and coral; it represents Amitabha, the
Buddha of Light. Two fine old Navaho blankets, one of bayeta, are
gifts from Mr. Homer E. Sargent. Mr. Sargent also provided funds
for the purchase of a collection of ancient pottery from Casas Grandes,
Mexico. It consists of 162 small pieces comprising coiled and indented,
smooth, undecorated, polished red and black, as well as the beautiful
polychrome ware characteristic of that region. It is equally of scientific
and artistic value. Mr. Sargent also presented to the Museum twenty
beautiful old head-plumes worn by the Karok Indians of northwestern
California in the White Deer-Skin Dance. To Mr. Edward E. Ayer
are due six fine old buckskin skirts, two aprons ornamented with pine-
nuts, three excellent head-bands of buckskin, worn in the Jumping
Dance, and a quiver of basketry carried during the same dance-cere-
mony, all from the Hupa, Yurok, and Karok Indians of northwestern
California. Mr. Ayer also contributed thirty-eight prehistoric stone
implements collected in the vicinity of Phoenix, Arizona. An inter-
esting image carved from green quartz, of Mexican origin, was presented
by Mrs. S. E. Barrett.

The number of accessions received by the Department of Botany
during the year numbered 48, of these all the specimens of 44 have been
prepared, organized, and catalogued. The accessions comprise 44
economic and 20,248 herbarium specimens. The most important addi-
tion to the plant collections is that of the private herbarium of Elihu
Hall, presented by the family of the late Mr. Hall. This herbarium is
estimated to contain about 35,000 sheets; it also comprises a great mass
of duplicates that will be utilized in exchanges. The Hall herbarium
embraces Mr. Hall's personal collections in Illinois, Texas, and Oregon,
and Hall and Harbor's Rocky Mountain Plants; together with a mass
of material acquired in exchange with his contemporaries: Curtiss,
Bebb, Clinton Patterson, Bolander, Faxon, Gray, M. E. Jones, Mohr,
Canby, Hale, Vasey, Blake, Bishop, Fendler, Eaton, Garber, Howell,
Parry, Lemmon, Macowan, Oakes, Porter, Ravenel, Wolf, and many
others in North America. From his foreign exchanges he secured a
complete set of all the numbers of the Relique Mailleanas, and very
full series of Bourgeau, Spain; Dasnen, Switzerland; Blanche, Syria;
Laresche, Switzerland; Gaillardot, Syria; Cosson, France; Heldereich,

specimens of satisfactory size of this widely used and well-known sub-
stance. The zinc ores include a great variety of the brilliantly colored
smithsonites for which Laurium is famous. Besides the ores there are
two lots of the slags from the silver smelting operations of the ancient
Greeks between 600 B.C. and 400 B.C. which are now being resmelted
to save the silver that the early smelters could not extract. The New
Zealand Commission presented a restoration of the giant, extinct bird
known as the Moa. This restoration was prepared with great care at
the New Zealand Museum, and shows a bird standing over 12 feet in
height with a body measuring 8 feet in length. The probable feather
covering is shown, also the form and dimensions of the bird. The
great size of this creature makes it an object of special interest. A
very valuable accession obtained largely through the efforts of Mr. W. J.
Chalmers, consisted of 40 specimens of tin and copper ores presented by
the leading tin mining companies of South Africa. These ores had not
been previously represented in the collections and they are also of im-
portance since they show characters not seen in the tin ores of other
regions. Mr. Chalmers also kindly presented two especially fine
crystals of gem tourmaline from California and a specimen of crystallized
gold from French Guiana. A series of pebbles from Wyoming
showing unusual polishing by wind, was presented by Messrs. Geo. F.
Porter and A. A. Sprague. From the Chamber of Commerce of Chlo-
ride, Arizona, a representative series of the gold, silver, lead, and other
ores of that district was received by gift, making a valued addition.
An interesting series of 15 specimens illustrating the manufacture of
potash and other products from alunite and of nitrogen products manu-
factured from the air, was presented by the Armour Fertilizer Works.
In this connection also, the gift by Professor S. H. Knight, of the Uni-
versity of Wyoming, of specimens of the leucitic rocks of Wyoming,
which are considered possible sources of commercial potash, is worthy
of mention. The Titanium Alloys Manufacturing Company presented
a specimen of metallic titanium, which is a rarely produced substance,
together with specimens of two ferro-titanium alloys. The Norton
Laboratories gave a large bar of metallic magnesium. A series of
pegmatite products used in cement facing and two large masses of peg-
matite were donated by the Crown Point Spar Company of Essex,
New York. Professor E. L. Moseley of Bowling Green, Ohio, gave
some interesting specimens of celestite and invertebrate fossils. By
exchange, 13 specimens of stream concretions were obtained from
Professor F. Justin Roddy and specimens of the Dalton and Lake
Okechobee meteorites were received from the United States National
Museum. An iron meteorite from Batavia, New York, weighing 5,930

previously represented in the collections were procured. The material
obtained included specimens of cone-in-cone structure, stylolites and
concretions, fossil ferns and a series of hydraulic limestones and cements.
A collecting trip was also made by the Curator of Geology among the
pegmatite regions of western Maine. A large number of valuable
specimens of the rare minerals of the region, such as tourmaline, colum-
bite, beryl, and herderite were procured, also some showy dendrites and
a striking series illustrating zonal weathering. The Assistant Curator
of Geology through a brief trip among most of the large porphyry
copper mines of New Mexico and Arizona secured a representative
though limited suite of the characteristic ores of this important new
development of the mining industry. The large mines visited on this
trip and from which specimens were secured were the Chino and Empire
Zinc mines in New Mexico, and the Copper Queen, Old Dominion,
Inspiration, and Miami mines in Arizona. At Grand Canyon, Arizona,
also, he obtained a number of specimens of Cretaceous fossils, copper
and silver ores and asbestos.

INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT. — - There have

been placed on permanent exhibition in the Department of Anthro-
pology 90 new cases, most of these being completely labeled. The
material installed in these cases is distributed over the various
divisions as follows: African ethnology 27 cases; Melanesian ethnology
44 cases; American ethnology 1 case; American Archaeology 7 cases,
and Chinese pagodas 11. The interesting Mexican pottery from Casas
Grandes presented by Mr. Homer E. Sargent has been installed in two
standard cases in the East Court. The recent acquisition of Navaho
blankets necessitated the reinstallation of a case of Navaho blanketry
in Hall 6. Progress has been made in the installation in standard cases
in the East Court, which, since the opening of the Museum, has been
shown in the old Peabody cases from the World's Columbian Exposi-
tion. Four cases of the Hopewell material, from Ross County, Ohio,
are well along toward completion in Alcove 83. The new arrangement
on shelves is very satisfactory, and brings out to advantage the scientific
value of this remarkable collection. The prehistoric pottery from
Chiriqui Republic of Panama, has been permanently placed on exhibi-
tion in two standard cases in Alcove 93 of the East Court. Costa Rican
archaeology now in Alcove 84 is being prepared for permanent exhibi-
tion. All Peabody cases released, as the work of reinstallation pro-
gresses, are used for permanent storage in Halls 68 and 69 of the West
Annex in accordance with the plan outlined a year ago. For the
purpose of preserving and photographing material, work has been done
in 138 exhibition cases. Installed cases of the Joseph N. Field collec-

some very elaborate. The different types of clubs and spears, including
those terminating in worked human bone, are completely represented.
Native life on the island of New Hanover is shown in another case. The
elaborately decorated clubs and spears of St. Matthias together with
large ornamented combs, and woven mats and belts occupy two cases.
The same number of cases illustrates the culture of Lihir, Aneri, Tanga,
Nissan, small islands east of New Ireland, the manufacture of shell arm
rings from Tanga and shell money from Nissan being especially note-
worthy. Two further cases are concerned with Lord Howe, Mortlock,
Tasman, and Sikaiana, small islands lying north of the Solomons, but
showing a culture with Micronesian and Polynesian, rather than Mel-
anesian affinities. New Britain is represented by a very complete col-
lection, in sixteen cases, from the Gazelle Peninsula. It includes many
valuable old specimens obtained and figured by Richard Parkinson, also
a number of remarkable Baining and Sulka masks, numerous specimens
from central and western New Britain as well as from the neighboring
islands, showing a strong New Guinea influence. A representative
collection from the southwest coast about Cape Merkus illustrates the
life and industries of the people. There is a series of their finely carved
wooden bowls, coiled baskets, painted bark-cloth, feather head-dresses
used in dances, and personal ornaments. The Philippine material
has been revised and partially reinstalled. The models of Chinese
pagodas have been installed in three standard four-feet cases and eight
special cases arranged in Hall 48 of the East Annex. This Hall was
opened to the public at the end of the year. The Chinese gateway has
been erected on the east side of the Rotunda.

In the Department of Botany the following cases have been in-
stalled, labeled and placed on exhibition: in the American Forestry
Series: Sweet Buckeye; Fraser's Fir; Southern Red Cedar; Loblolly
Bay; Silver Bell; Pennsylvania Cherry; Ogeche Lime; Water Gum;
Black Cherry; and Basswood. Specimens, with their labels, sufficient
for the installation of twelve other cases have been fully prepared and
are ready to be put in place as soon as the cases for their accommodation
are furnished. Installation in the herbarium cases has been sadly
interfered with on account of lack of space in the rooms available to this
section of the department. It has become necessary to remove from
installation all specimens in the lower plant orders, wrap them up in
bundles and store them away, in order to give up their place in the cases
to families more frequently consulted. This has also been necessary in
the case of newly arriving Eurasian plants, until the end of the year
reveals over three hundred such bundles rendered unavailable for study
or reference. A discouraging amount of time and labor had to be

stone and iron-stone meteorites were placed, the specimens being
grouped so as to bring those of the same class together. At the same
time the opportunity was improved to definitely group all the meteor-
ites, the grouping being on the basis of a classification founded on
structural features. In Hall 31a number of series have been rearranged
with or without the addition of new material. One of these is a collec-
tion of volcanic products which has been so reorganized as to exhibit
the characteristic products of each locality in groups. At present,
good series of the products of the volcanoes of Vesuvius, Popocatepetl,
Kilauea, Sakurijima, the Auvergne region and many localities in the
western United States are shown. A special addition made to the
products of Vesuvius was a series of specimens of volcanic ash thrown
out during the eruption of April, 1906. These specimens show the
changes in the character of the ash during successive days of the erup-
tion. Photographs of a recent eruption of Sakurijima were installed
among the products of that volcano. Other additions made to the
series of dynamical geological products in Hall 31 include six splendid
specimens of zonal weathering which were collected by the Curator in
Maine, specimens of dendrites similarly collected, a number of speci-
mens of cone-in-cone structure, stylolites, etc., collected by the Curator
in Illinois, and a number of specimens showing several varieties of
weathering. Another change made in the installation of this hall was
the removal to storage of the series of New York rocks and the installa-
tion in its place of collections illustrating the uses of lime and of borax.
In the collection illustrating lime and its uses, a number of varieties of
limestone and lime from various localities are shown and following these,
illustrations of chemical and agricultural uses of lime and limestone, uses
of lime for paints, plasters, and cements, medical uses of lime, etc. In
the borax collection are shown various borax minerals, various refined
boraxes, and illustrations of the uses of borax in the arts. Another
collection prepared and installed in this hall was one illustrating sources
and uses of potash. Various rocks and minerals containing potash in
appreciable quantities are exhibited in this collection and many of the
finished products from these rocks, including not only potash but
alumina, sulphuric acid, etc. The collection illustrating magnesia and
its uses was considerably enlarged and rearranged, additions of Indian
and Grecian magnesite, raw and calcined, being made, also of metallic
magnesium, hydraulic cements, magnesia packing, etc. To the sulphur
collection were added some interesting specimens of molded sulphur
received from China. Some additions were also made to the economic
barite and fluorite collections. A magnetic compass was installed in
connection with the large specimen of lodestone in Hall 30, the compass

complete skeleton of the American camel Oxydactylus longipes,
the lower Miocene period, was installed in a floor case in Hall 36.

Jan., 191 7. Annual Report of the Director. 103

This camel was remarkable for its size and slender structure, the
slenderness being such as to make the skeleton difficult to mount.
In order to obtain sufficient rigidity, steel sockets were set in the limb
bones at intervals and these served as fastenings for pieces of half-round
steel which were placed along the surfaces of the bones. In this way a
firm but graceful mount was secured. The base of the mount was made
of material imitative of the matrix in which the skeleton was found. In
an adjoining case a fore leg of Alticamelus, another American camel
remarkable for the size and length of its limb bones has been installed;
and in still another case a number of skulls and limb bones of Miocene
camels and horses have been placed. All of this material was col-
lected by Museum expeditions in the western states. The skeleton
of the saber tooth cat in this hall was transferred to a plaster base
imitating the matrix from which it was taken. The series of Jurassic
mollusks from Patagonia collected by Professor Salisbury' has been in-
stalled in Hall 36, and a case of Devonian fossils has been brought from
Hall 61 and installed in this hall. In the paleontological laboratory the
cleaning and mounting of a skeleton of Oxydactylus has been completed;
a fore limb of Alticamelus has been prepared and mounted; a skeleton
of a small, Miocene, burrowing carnivore found in one of the peculiar
corkscrew-like forms occurring in Nebraska has been prepared for
mounting; two partial skeletons of the Oligocene three-toed horse,
Mesohippus bairdii, have been prepared, as have also a large skull of
Diceratherium and fore limbs of the smallest Miocene horse, Merychip-
pus; the mounting of a skeleton of a fossil wolf from the Los Angeles
beds has been nearly completed and the skeleton of the saber tooth cat
from the same locality has been transferred to a base imitative of the
matrix from which the specimen was obtained.

In the Department of Zoology the reinstallation of the shell exhibit
has been continued during the year. Seven cases of shells were installed,
10 of the new A-cases now being filled. Of this number 7 have been
permanently labeled. Some idea of the amount of work required to
install a case may be formed when it is stated that one of those just filled
contains 2,829 shells, most of which has to be mounted in a special man-
ner and which required 718 tablets and almost the same number of
individual shelves for their installation. In the Division of Osteology
337 skulls and 12 skeletons were prepared. Three skeletons were also
prepared for the exhibition collection. The usual precautions were
taken against the depredations of insect pests and all collections were
disinfected. Most of the exhibition cases are now provided with devices
which permit disinfection without opening the case. In the serial col-
lection of mammals on exhibition, rearrangement and elimination of

u: Hmoe? —

bird groups was finished and installed. The group shown consists of
birds characteristic of the low tropics of north-central Brazil where one
of the Museum's expeditions worked a few years ago. The most con-
spicuous of these are the large tropical American storks known as the
Jabiru. Others included with them are ibises, sun bitterns, gallinules,
and boatbills. Thirty-six mounted birds from Argentine and twenty
from North America, including a Passenger Pigeon, were added to the
serial exhibition collection.

The N. W. Harris Public School Extension of field Museum of Natural History.
— At the close of the year 476 cases were available for circulation
among the public schools, 86 cases having been installed during
the year. Six cases were permanently withdrawn from the supply
and sent to the Museum of History, Art and Science of Los
Angeles. There are also many cases on hand in various stages of prep-
aration and installation. Not only do the members of the staff of this
Department install all of the specimens of birds, mammals, fishes,
reptiles, and insects, but they collect and prepare them for installation
as well. Nearly all of the butterflies and birds found in and around
Chicago are represented either by specimens installed or by specimens
that have been partially prepared for installation. In many of the
cases in which birds, mammals and reptiles are shown, enlarged colored
photographs of the habitat or of characteristic environments of the
specimens, form backgrounds. These backgrounds add greatfy to the
naturalness of the taxidermy and to the realism of the accessories
employed, and reduce the use and need of much of the latter.

Sufficient time has elapsed since the inauguration of this work to
permit competent judgment being passed upon the physical merits of
the exhibition cases. It is gratifying to report that the type of case
used has met all requirements demanded of it. The claim for the
secureness of the installation of all specimens is well supported by
the fact that thirty-four installed cases were transported by freight
to San Francisco and returned, and not in a single instance was it
necessary to repair any damage and in but one instance was it neces-
sary to reinstall a specimen — that one being of a friable nature.
The number now on hand of empty cases of the four and ten inch types
is so small that a requisition for additional new cases will be made
within a short time. It is more than likely, owing to space limita-
tions, that with additional new cases some method, other than that
now in use, for caring for empty and installed cases will have to be
adopted. Representatives of the principals of the Chicago public
schools expressed a desire to have types of the extension cases placed on
permanent exhibition in one of the rooms of the Board of Education.

tion shall, within ninety days from the adoption of these By-Laws, and persons
hereafter chosen as Corporate Members shall, within ninety days of their election,
pay into the treasury the sum of twenty dollars ($20.00) or more. The failure of
any person to make such payment within said time shall, at the option of the Board
of Trustees, be ground for forfeiture of his corporate membership. Corporate
Members becoming Life Members, Patrons or Honorary Members shall be exempt
from dues. Annual meetings of said Corporate Members shall be held at the same
place and on the same day that the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees is held.
