ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 
1921 


To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History: 


FREDERICK J. V. SKIFF 
November 5, 1851 a February 24, 1921 


Appointed Director December 16, 1893 


Since the last issue of the Annual Report the Museum has sus- 
tained an irreparable loss in the death of its Director, Frederick J. 
V. Skiff, which took place suddenly at Chicago, February 24, 1921, 
after two days’ illness. On the Monday preceding his death, Dr. Skiff 
attended the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trustees, and 
assisted in the proceedings with his accustomed vigor and enthusiasm. 

On such an occasion as this attention is invited more especially 
to the sterling character of Dr. Skiff, rather than to his achievements. 
The story of what he accomplished has been told. The memory of 
what he was is both uplifting and inspiring—the most loyal of friends, 
a lover of all good and beautiful things; a strenuous worker, a 
lively and entertaining talker, a patient and inspiring administrator, 
who infused his associates with his own zeal—he leaves in the 
hearts of all who knew him a bright and imperishable image, an 
ideal of faithful efficient service, combined with most amiable personal 
traits. And nothing in his life became him better than his last painful 
years. For sometime before his death he suffered from a distressing 
affliction which no remedy could arrest. His last years were lived in 
constant and sometimes almost unendurable physical agony, and in the 
knowledge that his silent fight could hardly be other than hopeless. 
And yet his courage, his faith in the virtue there is in life, his perfect 
confidence that all things work together for good, were unfaltering. 
He labored so unceasingly and through consideration of others hid 
his suffering so carefully, that few suspected the ordeals of bodily pain 
through which he passed with a quiet indomitable courage that was a 
marvel to the few who knew the truth about his real condition. His 
interest in the many activities of the Museum and in the numerous 
educational and social projects of the Country was unabated. Greater 
fortitude could not have been displayed. No apparent sign warned his 


10 Fiecp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. 


associates of the close of his great and useful career, although the 
suddenness of the end was not altogether unforeseen by himself and 
those in his confidence. 


When the history of Field Museum comes to be written, it cannot 


be doubted that the name of Frederick Skiff will be placed first among — 
the pioneers. His modesty and self-effacement, his retiring and un- 
selfish nature deprived him to some extent of popular applause by the 
public to whose service he gave his life, but among the immediate 
personnel for whom he labored and with whom he associated, he had 
a place few men find and fewer still have earned. Many, even those 
who had not the privilege of knowing Dr, Skiff intimately, will always 
remember his inspiring eloquence, the overpowering urge of his per- 
sonality, and his faithful devotion to the Museum. 

His more public work, especially in connection with the great 
expositions of the past quarter of a century, must be left to others 
to value and record. It may be recalled, however, that prior to his 
acceptance of the Directorship of the Museum, Dr. Skiff had occupied 
for two years the responsible post of Chief of the Department of 
Mines and Mining and Deputy Director General of the Chicago Ex- 
position of 1893. Before coming to Chicago to enter into exposition 
and museum activities, Dr. Skiff for a number of years managed and 
edited the Denver Tribune. Associated with him in this work were 
the late Eugene Field, “Bill Nye,” and O. H. Rothacker, authors and 
journalists. He was appointed Director-in-Chief of the United States 
Exhibits at the Paris Exposition in 1898-1901; Director of Exhibits 
of the St. Louis Exposition 1901-1905; was appointed by President 
Taft, United States Commissioner General to the Japanese Exposition, 
and in 1911 was appointed Director-in-Chief of the Panama-Pacific 
International Exposition at San Francisco. In recognition of his im- 
portant achievements and the benefits to society accruing therefrom, 
Dr. Skiff had also received academic distinctions from many univer- 
sities and learned institutions and decorations from practically all of 
the countries of the world. 


I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the 
Museum for the year ending December 31, 1921: 


The day appointed for the re-opening of the Museum was May 
2, 1921. At this time and even before, the extensive collections, 
which had been transferred from the old building in Jackson Park, 
had been organized into a scientific and systematic arrangement and 
installed in the halls of the new building. Through active, not to say 


Jan., 1922. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. II 


strenuous effort on the part of all concerned everything was in read- 
iness for the renewal of the work for which the Museum had been 
established. It had been decided by the Board of Trustees to hold 
no exercises in connection with the re-opening of the Museum, but 
invitations to an informal reception during the afternoon of May 2nd 
were extended to a list of 10,000 individuals, which included prom- 
inent citizens, educators, army and navy officers and public officials. 
Approximately 8,000 of these invited guests accepted the invitation 
and expressions of general admiration for the building and its arrange- 
ment were heard on all sides. The following day the Museum was 
thrown open to the public and that the new building and new facilities 
which it provides have met with hearty approval is shown by the fact 
that at this time the average daily attendance is more than double that 
recorded at the old building in Jackson Park. 


The physical conditions of the Institution at the date of this 
review show but a small part of the actual work performed since 
the occupancy of the New Building. The scientific work in con- 
nection with the reinstallation has been of a nature that is not 
apparent to the casual observer and is concealed, as a matter of 
fact, from even the more critical visitors. The work in the labora- 
tories and the constant application of time and study to the tasks of 
identification, labeling and inventorying have pushed these essential 
features of Museum work distinctly forward. The vast amount of 
this labor suddenly devolving upon the Museum staff, as it did at 
the reopening of the Museum, would have dismayed those less 
earnest and confident. Thanks are due to the staff and to all classes 
of labor for the very excellent work accomplished. Those in the 
more responsible positions have had anxious and arduous times, but 
fortunately the Museum has men and women on whom it can depend 
and their loyal service is much appreciated. It would be bare justice 
to mention many by name, but it would be injustice to omit others, 
so in fairness all should be included. 


President Field, at the December meeting of the Board of Trus- 
tees, announced that he had decided to assume the entire deficit oc- 
curring in the Building Fund, towards which he has already con- 
tributed the sum of $150,000.00. To this deficit Mr. Potter Palmer 
has also contributed during the year the sum of $1,000.00. 


At the same meeting of the Board, the President intimated that 
Captain Marshall Field had volunteered to contribute the sum of 
$50,000.00 annually for a period of five years for the purpose of dis- 
patching expeditions into the field, defraying the cost of new exhibition 


12 Fietp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. 


cases and for the publication of manuscripts prepared by members of 
the staff. Captain Field has also contributed the sum of $65,000.00 to 
liquidate the deficit in the General Fund for the year 1921. 

The acquisitions and contributions received or announced during 
the year have been exceptionally numerous and valuable as will be seen 
from the list of accessions appended to the report. Mention should be 
made of the contribution of $25,000.00 made by Mr. Arthur B. Jones, 
to defray the expense of an ethnological survey in Malaysia, par- 
ticularly in the Malay Peninsula and the Dutch East Indies. 

Upon learning that the Museum contemplated increasing its print- 
ing shop equipment, Mr. William V. Kelley generously presented the 
Institution with a new Miehle Cylinder Press, which is especially 
adaptable for printing the publications of the Museum. 

Mr. Stanley Field presented to the Board of Trustees of the 
Museum an oil portrait of himself and also one of the late Director, 
Doctor Skiff. Mrs. Richard T. Crane, Jr., presented an oil portrait 
of the late Mr. Harlow N. Higinbotham, and Mr. Edward E. Ayer 
presented an oil portrait of himself. 

Miss Helen C. Gunsaulus has presented to the Museum, in mem- 
ory of her father, Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus, her entire collection of 
Japanese Surimono. The Board of Trustees has dedicated a hall in 
honor of Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus, in which the Japanese Surimono 
are to be exhibited. 

President Field has assumed the entire expense of furnishing the 
Trustees Room in the new building. 

Mrs. Frederick J. V. Skiff presented a bronze bust of the late 
Dr. Skiff, which has been installed in “Frederick J. V. Skiff Hall” in 
the Department of Geology. 

Mr. William Wrigley, Jr., contributed the sum of $3,500.00 to- 
wards the purchase of 29 Buddhistic sculptures. 

Mr. Edward E. Ayer continued his contributions of books for 
the Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library, details of which appear 
elsewhere in this report. 

President Field presented to the Department of Zodlogy three 
animal pieces in bronze, sculptured by Carl E. Akeley. 

The Museum has received as a gift a mimeographing machine 
from Mr. A. B. Dick. 

During the year the vacancies existing in the membership of the 
Board of Trustees were filled by the election of Mr. Richard T. Crane, 
Jr., Mr. James Simpson, Mr. Harry E. Byram and Mr. Ernest R. 
Graham. 


JAN., 1922. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 13 


Colonel Albert A. Sprague was elected Third Vice-President, the 
Board of Trustees having created this office by an amendment to 
Section 1, Article IV of the By-Laws. 

Mr. D. C. Davies was elected Secretary of the Board to fill the 
vacancy existing, and Mr. George Manierre was elected Assistant 
Secretary. 

Mrs. Edward E. Ayer was chosen an Honorary Member of the 
Museum, in view of the eminent service she has rendered to science. 

The Life Members of the Institution were increased by the elec- 
tion of Mr. Frederic W. Upham, Mr. Francis C. Farwell and Mr. 
Colin C. H. Fyffe. Mr. Marvin B. Pool was elected an Associate 
Member of the Museum. 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees, held December 19, 1921, 
the present incumbent was appointed Director of the Museum to suc- 
ceed the late Doctor Frederick J. V. Skiff. 


At a special meeting of the Board, held March 1, 1921, Benjamin 
Bridge was appointed Auditor, and at the regular meeting of the 
Board in April, Henry F. Ditzel was appointed Recorder. 


The Museum sustained a signal loss in the death of Charles B. 
Cory, Curator of Zoology. Prof. Cory had been in the service of the 
Museum for twenty-eight years, during which period his conscientious, 
untiring devotion to his work and his cheerful presence had deeply 
impressed all his associates. Prof. Cory was first and foremost an 
ornithologist, and this was attributable to no lack of sympathy with the 
larger field, but because he recognized that the larger field could not 
be successfully covered by one man. His work on “The Birds of 
the Americas,” in preparation at the time of his death, furnishes 
abundant evidence of his remarkable knowledge of the literature of 
his subject and his ability to use it to the greatest advantage. The book 
is an elaborate catalogue and the special attributes essential for the 
production of such a work Prof. Cory possessed in a marked degree. 


To complete and edit this work the Museum has been enabled, 
through the generosity of Mr. Charles R. Crane, to secure the serv- 
ices of Dr. C. E. Hellmayr, one of the leading and best known Europ- 
ean ornithologists. Dr. Hellmayr is at present affiliated with the Uni- 
versity of Munich and will probably arrive in Chicago early in the 
summer of 1922 prepared to commence his duties. As Dr. Hellmayr’s 
ornithological labors have been particularly directed to South America 
and as he is familiar also with the important collections of birds in 
Europe, the Museum is specially fortunate in having obtained his 
consent to undertake the completion of this monumental work. 


14 Freco Museum or Natura History—Reports, Vor. VI. 


During the year Alfred C. Weed was appointed Assistant Curator 
of Fishes and Ralph Linton Assistant Curator of North American 
Ethnology. Late m the year Wilfred H. Osgood was appointed 
Curator of Zodlogy, to succeed the late Charles B. Cory, and William 
J. Gerhard was appointed Associate Curator of Insects. In the Depart- 
ment of Geology, Henry W. Nichols was appointed Associate Curator 
of Geology and Elmer S. Riggs Associate Curator of Paleontology. 
The appointment of J. Francis Macbride as Assistant Curator in the 
Department of Botany is also announced, the appointment taking effect 
January 1, 1922. 

Upon the recommendation of the Executive Committee, Hall No. 
3 has been dedicated to Mary D. Sturges, and Hall No. 13 has been 
dedicated to George M. Pullman, two of the early benefactors of the 
Museum. 

The sudden death of Doctor Frank Wakeley Gunsaulus, one of 
the original Incorporators and Trustees of the Museum and a Patron 
of the Institution, occurred during the year. Dr. Gunsaulus took an 
active interest in the foundation of the Museum and from time to time 
had made many valuable gifts to the Institution. The Board of 
Trustees at a meeting May 16, 1921, adopted the following testimonial : 

“We Fellow Members of the Board of Trustees of Field Museum 
of Natural History and associates and friends of the late Frank 
Wakeley Gunsaulus desire to express our appreciation of his life and 
service : 

We recognize : 

That in his death the World has lost a man of high moral worth, 
unusual breadth of intellect, profound human sympathy, unswerving 
loyalty to duty and unfailing devotion to his family and friends. 

That the Nation has been bereft of a patriotic, public-spirited and 
loyal citizen, and American Science and Art of a distinguished in- 
vestigator and adviser, and an earnest and efficient administrator. 

That Field Museum of Natural History and all Institutions or- 
ganized for the promotion of knowledge have lost a faithful and will- 
ing co-worker. 

We mourn his loss not only on account of his high intellectual 
attainments and qualities, but also because he was a man of broad 
sympathy and tender heart, of upright character and deep spiritual 
discernment. 

We extend to the members of his bereaved family in this hour 
of their affliction our sincere sympathy, and in token thereof have 
ordered a copy of this expression of our appreciation transmitted to 
them, and have likewise ordered it spread upon the records of Field

on Bee ~§ 


THE LATE FRANK W. GUNSAULUS. 
An Incorporator and Trustee of the Museum, 


JAN., 1922. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 15 


Museum of Natural History, of which Institution our late associate 
was not only a devoted Trustee but also one of the original incor- 
porators.” 


As important aids to the facilities for installation and mainten- 
ance, there have been added to the Carpenter Shop machinery a bench 
planer, variety saw and hollow chisel morticer, together with the 
necessary motor equipment. During the year the shop made and 
installed 1,606 lineal feet of book shelving of various depths, 11,676 
square feet of storage shelving, racks for 1,450 trays, 28 work benches 
of special designs with wood or soapstone top, fitted with drawers of 
various dimensions, cupboards and pigeon holes. Racks for 437 stor- 
age cans, three book stacks for the General Library and other mis- 
cellaneous work has also been executed for the working areas on 
third floor. The toning room and stock room in the Section of Pho- 
tography have been furnished with lead lined tanks, cupboards, work 
benches, shelving and window shutters. 

Considerable new apparatus has also been added to the Section of 
Photography, which will undoubtedly increase the efficiency of the 
work and enable the section to produce better and more accurate re- 
sults. This section is now producing the picture postal cards which 
are sold to visitors. 

Extensive additions have also been made to the equipment and 
facilities in the Section of Printing. The space on the fourth floor, 
formerly occupied by this section, was not considered suitable to ac- 
commodate the additional work of printing the publications of the 
Museum, all of which work, it has been decided, will be performed in 
the Museum in the future. The section was therefore transferred 
to a large, well-lighted room on the third floor, near which space 
for a commodious stock-room was provided. To carry the heavy 
load of the Miehle Cylinder Press and Automatic Paper Cutter a 
room in the south end of the ground floor was selected for this por- 
tion of the new equipment. In addition to the cylinder press and 
paper cutter, there have been installed in the printing shop a book 
sewing machine, stitcher, and motors for all machinery, including two 
motors for the platen presses. 

Owing to constant demand from visitors, a restaurant has been 
opened on the ground floor and the patronage thus far bestowed 
seems to justify this convenience. 


INCOME AND MaINTENANCE—The budget approved by the Board of 
Trustees authorized the sum of $290,786.00 for the maintenance of 
the Museum for the year 1921. The actual income received during 


16 Fretp Museum or Natura History—Reports, Vor, VI. 


that period amounted to $215,123.00 . The actual expenditures 
amounted to $280,123.00, leaving a deficit of $65,000.00, which amount, 
as mentioned elsewhere in this report, was contributed by Captain 
Marshall Field. As a matter of record it may be stated that part 
of the amount disbursed for maintenance included the expense of 
new construction work on the third floor, where a certain amount of 
labor was required for the readaptation of the area to render it more 
fit for the uses to which it is now devoted. 


Pyaications.—During the year two publications were issued, details 
of which follow:

TweLisrary.—Many valuable and interesting works have been re- 
ceived during the year by gift, exchange and purchase and several 
of these warrant special mention. President Field presented eleven 
volumes and eleven portfolios of the monumental work on the North 
American Indian by Edward S. Curtis and Frederick W. Hodge, to be 
completed in twenty volumes. In addition to the ninety-two 
volumes of ornithological works purchased during the year for the 
Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library, Mr. Ayer presented the 
Clarke Piscatorial Library of 1,640 volumes, which is a beautifully 
bound collection made by Robert Clarke of Cincinnati previous to 1892. 
It contains eighteen original editions’ of Izaak Walton's Complete 
Angler and a number of works dating back to the fifteenth and six- 
teenth centuries. A general atlas, dated Edinburgh, 1817, of consider- 
able historical interest, was presented by Director Davies. From the 


Carnegie Institution of Washington, one hundred and seventy-eight 


publications were received and the library was made a repository 
for all future publications pertinent to the work of the Museum. Two 


hundred and fifty books and pamphlets, with a number of duplicates, — 


were received with the E. T. and S. A. Harper mycological collection. 
Early in the year the Smithsonian Institution resumed the transmission 


of publications to practically all of the international exchange bureaus” 


and efforts were made to obtain the publications held back during

war for lack of transportation. These have been coming in steadily, 
but still further efforts will have to be made to secure the numbers 
that were issued in limited editions. Exchanges were received from six 
hundred and forty-two institutions and individuals. Publications from 
all sources reached a total of 3,647 books and pamphlets, a considerable 
increase over the receipts of any of the past four years. The books 
and pamphlets total 77,471. Purchases of books and periodicals were 
limited for the most part to the immediate needs of the staff. The cost 
of binding is gradually being lowered and two hundred and seventy 
books were bound. There have been written and inserted in the cat- 
alogues 11,600 cards. Early in the year the books of the general 
library were cleaned, restored to their classification and shelved in 
rooms at the southeast end of the building. Space has now been per- 
manently assigned for the library on the third floor. 


DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING AND LABELING. —During the year the 
work of cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology has progressed 
as the new accessions were acquired. The total number of cata- 
logue cards prepared amounts to 983, which includes the Japanese 
Surimono presented by Miss Helen C. Gunsaulus. These cards are 
distributed over the single divisions as follows: North American 
Ethnology 468; Southwest, Mexican and South American Archaeology 
21; Melanesian and African Ethnology 99; and Ethnology of China, 
India and Japan 395, and have been entered in the inventory 
books of the Department which now number 38. The number of 
annual accessions amounts to thirty-nine, twenty-eight of which have 
been entered. The total number of catalogue cards entered from the 
opening of the first volume amounts to 156,177. The Department 
has been supplied with a total of 4,984 printed labels. These are dis- 
tributed over the divisions as follows: Stanley Field Hall, 315; 
Eskimo, Northwest Coast, etc., 854; Plains Indians, 1331; Indians 
of California, 96; South America, 1,038; Melanesia, 409; China, 
2203+ Tibet, 65’ Korea, 2153 Formosa,’ 77; Japan, 2273 India,’ 100; 
and Higinbotham hall, 96. A total of 458 label cards was added to the 
label file and 156 prints were placed in the photographic albums. 

All newly accessioned specimens in the Department of Botany 
have been catalogued as fast as organized. A total of 14,058 entries 
has been made in the fifty-eight catalogue volumes, bringing the 
total number of catalogued specimens up to 496,367. Augmentation 
of the various card indexes during the past year has been necessarily 
slight, due to the preponderance of other work. Additional cards 
have been inserted as follows:

Although a large number of accessions has been received during 
the year by the Department of Geology, it has been possible to 
catalogue all specimens as soon as received. The total number of 
new entries made during the year is 4,046, the largest number of | 
these, 3,213, being in invertebrate paleontology, due chiefly to addi- 
tions received from the Dyer collection. In the economic division 
482 new entries were made, and to the systematic mineral catalogue 
271 numbers were added. More than 2,000 labels were written, 
printed and installed during the year in an endeavor to have all 
exhibited specimens uniformly labeled. Some of these labels are — 
reprints on black cardboard of former buff labels, but the larger 
number relate to new specimens or are modifications in size or in 
wording, or both, of previous labels. In all labeling every endeavor _ 
was made to secure complete accuracy before printing. About forty 
of the labels were descriptive and of considerable length. Labels 
for some of the relief maps, for example, comprise between 2,000 
and 2,500 words, while that for historic diamonds consists of about 
3,200 words. In choosing type for the labels, as large sizes as were 
deemed allowable without increasing too greatly the bulk of the label | 
were employed in order to facilitate reading. The entire series of © 
systematic labels for vertebrate paleontology was revised or rewritten. 
New labels of from 300 to 500 words were written for the Asphaltum 
Beds fossils, Minooka Mastodons, Teeth of the Mastodon and the 
Horse and Titanothere Families. Of the new labels of smaller size, — 
710 were for exhibits of ores, salts, and abrasives; 252 for the petro-— 
leums, coals, clays, soils and cements; 216 for the paleontological 
collections ; 202 for Stanley Field Hall, and the remainder for miscel- — 
laneous specimens. To the Departmental photograph albums twenty- 


JAN., 1922. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 19 


eight prints have been added, making a total number of 2,939 prints 
in these albums. 

The reference collections in the Department of Zoology remained 
inaccessible during most of the year, and cataloguing, therefore, was 
impossible. The total number of entries made was 326, distributed 
as follows: Mammals, 5; Birds, 49; Eggs, 1; Fishes, 39; Reptiles and 
Batrachians, 226; Invertebrates, 6. Record cards written during the 
year number 490, principally those of an index to the systematic 
exhibit of birds. Very little labeling of specimens in the reference 
collections has been done; but a very large number of new exhibition 
labels were written and printed. These included a few for the 
mammals, a large number for the birds, a complete series for the 
habitat groups, for all the fishes and reptiles and for a large number 
of shells.

Accessions.—Through the generosity of Mr. Martin A. Ryerson 
and Mr. Homer E. Sargent, the Department of Anthropology is 
enabled to list, among its important acquisitions of the year, a col- 
lection of eighteen Mexican serapes gathered by Mr. Herbert J. 
Browne during a long sojourn in Mexico. The serape is made from 
two rectangular blankets of particularly fine texture and quality, sewn 
together lengthwise to form a square and having a short slit in the 
center through which the wearer may slip his head, the whole being 
worn over the shoulders in the same manner as the rubber poncho. 
The making of these blankets originated in Mexico shortly after the 
Spayish conquest and rapidly became a jealously guarded institution 
which flourished in certain parts of the country until 1850, a date 
which marks the beginning of a decline in that industry which proved 
even more rapid than the ascendancy. The exponents of the old 
art are now extinct, and while ordinary specimens are manufactured 
today in various sections of the country, the fine textiles with their 
brilliant colorings and exquisite patterns are rapidly disappearing, as 


20 Fietp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. 


have already the secrets of their manufacture. The present collec- 
tion consists of representatives of all the important types known in 
Mexico; eight from Saltillo, five from San Miguel, and one each 
from Guadalajara, Senora, Chihuahua, Puebla, and Zacatecas. Of 
these, those from Saltillo and San Miguel are the most beautiful 
as well as the most valuable; for these two cities have the distinction 
of being the best known seats of serape manufacture. The general 
Saltillo pattern shows a medallion consisting of concentric diamonds 
in various colors upon an all-over design in stripes, the motives being 
minute geometric patterns skillfully interlocked in rich and permanent 
colors. Of the Saltillo serapes, the one from the Obregon Hacienda, 
which is authenticated as having been woven about 1775 by a weaver 
from Saltillo who consumed two years at the Hacienda spinning and 
dyeing the yarn and weaving the blanket, is of particular interest. 
The tomato pink and Nile green colors of this blanket are excep- 
tionally rare and add greatly to its value; for the secret of their manu- 
facture, after having been handed down only a few generations, 
died out. The San Miguel blankets have a characteristic rosette 
instead of diamond in the center. This collection, together with 
another serape from Saltillo of exquisite design and coloring which 
was obtained by purchase, is exhibited in Case 1 of Hall 8. Mr. 
Edward E. Ayer presented a valuable Navaho blanket, which is 
being used for exhibition in the case showing Indian blankets in 
Stanley Field Hall, an Eskimo snow-beater carved from walrus- 
ivory and engraved with hunting and whaling scenes, and a Sioux 
buckskin gun-case heavily beaded. An addition of 215 baskets 
from different North American Indian tribes was made to the 
already large collection that has been presented by Mr. Homer E. 
Sargent. A complete series of reproductions of men of prehistoric 
races was secured from Professor J. H. McGregor, Department 
of Zoology, Columbia University, New York. These consist in 
the main of busts of the Pithecanthropus, Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon 
and Chapelle-aux-Saints men, as well as casts of restored skulls and 
jaws, all of which will be utilized to good advantage in the new hall 
planned for an exhibition of physical anthropology. A very fine and 
interesting piece of tapa cloth from Suva in the Fiji Islands was 
donated by Mr. and Mrs. Robert B. Dickinson of Chicago. Mrs. 
Ralph S. Greenlee of Chicago presented an accurate and beautiful 


model of the famous Taj Mahal at Agra, India, which was im- cM 


mediately placed on exhibition in Hall 32. A collection of ninety- 
seven objects gathered by Mr. Barbour Lathrop of Chicago was — 


’ 


JAN., 1922. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 21 


presented by him. The collection consists of objects coming chiefly 
from Java, Celebes, Timor Laut, and Dutch New Guinea, with a few 
pieces from Babber, Dammer, Letti and other small islands of that 
region. A large Korean cabinet with excellent brass fittings and a 
large number of knives, krises, spears, bows and arrows, bark gar- 
ments and ornaments of shell and ivory are among the objects in the 
collection. Two of the Javanese krises, the blades of which are finely 
marked with inlaid silver and the handles surmounted by full figures 
in brass representing Hindu deities and studded with precious stones 
and beads, are worthy of special recognition. An exceptionally fine 
feast bowl of painted lacquer from Burma was received from Mr. 
Frederick R. Babcock of Wheaton, Illinois. This bowl is decorated 
all around with miniature paintings of exquisite quality, all of them 
representing scenes from the Indian epic poem, the Ramayana, and 
explained in Burmese legends. Mr. William J. Chalmers gave an 
excellent cloisonné-enamel jar from China which is remarkable be- 
cause of its harmonious design and coloring, and highly prized be- 
cause it was made in the latter part of the fifteenth century. A 
miscellaneous collection of eighty objects gathered on his travels 
in the Orient was received as a gift from Mr. Robert H. Fleming of 
Chicago. It is particularly rich in swords, daggers, and other weapons 
from China, Japan, India, Turkey, Spain, and Mexico. Of excep- 
tional interest are two batiks from Java and a remarkable, large em- 
broidered hanging from China, fifteen feet in length and nine and 
one-half feet in width. The latter bears a lengthy Chinese inscription 
from which it is ascertained that this embroidered picture was be- 
stowed upon a certain Mr. Hu in 1863 in commemoration of his 
seventieth birthday by the prefect of Lin-kiang in Kiang-si Province. 
Especially opportune are twelve Japanese swords and six sword- 
guards which will make more complete the exhibition of Japanese 
swords and their fittings now in the process of installation. There 
are examples of the various types of swords used on different occa- 
sions, such as the ornamental sword for parade purposes, the fighting 
sword, the small sword, the dagger, the small dagger for women, 
and the slung sword. An excellent collection of Japanese Suri- 
mono was presented by Miss Helen C. Gunsaulus in memory of 
her father, Dr. Frank Wakeley Gunsaulus, former trustee. Surimono 
are color print cards of greeting which are produced for special 
occasions such as New Year, birthdays, and other festival days. The 
great majority are prepared for private distribution only, and it is 
except on rare occasions that any are placed on public sale. They far 


22 Freco Museum or Naturat History—Rerorts, Vor. VI. 


excel the common prints; for, although they are produced by the same 
artists and in much the same manner, they are further enriched with 
claborate embossing or gaufrage and the use of metal dusts: 
gold, silver, and copper. Poems, which bear an inward relation to 
the subject pictured, appear on the cards. The collection presented 
is one of the very few to be found in America, and consists of 360 
Surimono made between 1780 and 1850. To the student of ethnology 
these prints render an invaluable service, for, brought together with 
excellent discrimination and a keen appreciation of the value and 
beauty of this avenue of approach to a study of the Japanese nation, 
they show with a wealth of detail the customs, costume and popular 
traditions of that nation. Every step of the important New Year's 
celebration has been delineated; games, festivals, intimate glimpses 
into the household, and scenes of old court-life are pictured in delicate 
detail; incidents taken from history, folk-lore, and classical drama, 
have been the inspiration of the artists quite as frequently as the 
flowering cherry, the first song of the nightingale, or the snowy 
peak of Mount Fuji. Owing to their fascinating subject-matter and 
their artistic merits, these prints make a ready appeal to every one, 
and will contribute their share to a better understanding of Japan. 
A further interesting addition was made to the collections of Japanese 


ethnology when three full costumes for women, typical examples of 


apparel worn by the military (Samurai) class, were purchased from 
Miss Michi Sato of Tokyo. The three costumes are: the winter 
ceremonial robe, the summer ceremonial robe, and the costume that 
is worn on the street. The winter robe is of heavy blue Canton crepe 
with the family crest printed in white, and is embroidered with small 
asters. The sash worn with this costume is a singular acquisition in 
itself, as it is made of five yards of heavy brown brocade and is 
adorned with a bamboo, wistaria and pheasant design in soft-colored 
and gold threads. The summer dress is also an excellent example 
of the Japanese costume. It is of blue silk, screen weave with em- 
broidered lilies, and is worn with a blue and white sash which has a 
wave design in silver thread. The street costume is of striped crepe 
in two shades of blue, and has a brocaded sash. These three costumes, 
together with a dress worn at a wedding feast, the latter being of 
quite a different type from the others, and which was donated to 
the Museum by Miss Helen Wilkins, will combine to illustrate 
adequately the costume of Japanese women of the Samurai class. 
They will be exhibited in a realistic manner on life-size figures with 
a facial cast taken of Miss Sato and with correct hair-dressings. Mr.

Gilbert Grosvenor, editor of the National Geographic Magazine, pre- 
sented six copies of a new map of Eastern Asia and six copies of a 
new map of South America, which will be utilized for exhibition 
purposes in the halls devoted to those subjects. The collection of 
photographs was greatly enriched by an interesting series of a 
hundred photographs taken by Mr. L. Winternitz of Chicago among 
the Seminole of Florida and in India, Burma, and other oriental 
countries, and which he presented to the Museum. 


Among the notable collections received by the Department of 
Botany during the past year is the balance of the Harper Herbarium, 
presented to the Museum by the late Dr. Edward T. Harper and 
Susan A. Harper. A well lighted room 21x63 ft. has been assigned 
for its organization and installation. This herbarium consists of about 
40,000 specimens, chiefly fungi; 6,000 photographs of fungi; a number 
of published exsiccati, and works of reference; and a mass of data and 
manuscript pertaining to the collections. A Preparator has been ap- 
pointed to organize the material for cataloguing, and to date 6,585 
specimens have been catalogued. The exsiccati include, among others: 
Fungi Selecti and Myxomycetes—O. Jaap, (700 specimens); New 
York Fungi—Shear, (331 specimens); Fungi Selecti—Torrend, (400 
specimens) ; North American Fungi—Ellis and Everhart, (4,000 speci- 
mens); Microtheca Brasilensis—Ule, (2,000 specimens); Lichenes 
Boreali-Americani—Cummings, Williams and Seymour, (300 speci- 
mens); Uredinee—Arthur and Holway, (200 specimens); Central 
American Fungi—C. L. Smith, (224 specimens) ; Economic Fungi— 
Seymour and Earle, (661 specimens) ; Phycotheca Bor—American— 
Collins, Holden and Setchell, (2,425 specimens); Fungi Europzi— 
Rabenhorst—Winter ; Fungi Columbiani—Bartholomew, (5,324 speci- 
mens). Other important collections received during the year are: 
the Nuttall, the Knopf and the Millspaugh Santa Catalina plants 
(1,960) ; the Heller California and Oregon plants (517); Britton and 
Cowell Cuban plants (183); Britton, Britton and Hazen, Trinidad 
plants (148); Buchtien Bolivian plants (472); and the Maxon and 
Killip Jamaican collections (1,276). The regional distribution of fully 
organized material is shown in the following table. The tabulation in- 
cludes only such areas as have been augmented in 1921, and in nowise 
represents the entire herbarium.

The Department of Geology has been the recipient of an unusually 
large number of accessions during the year, nearly all being gifts. 
The continued interest of Mr. W. J. Chalmers has been evinced by 
his gift of a fine series of moss agates from Montana showing remark- 
able landscape effects, and the addition of sixteen specimens, a num- 
ber of which are of high gem quality, to the crystal collection. These 
specimens include erystals of beryl from Brazil, tourmaline from 
Maine, tourmaline and kunzite from Madagascar, and quartz from 
Japan. Another addition to the gem collection was received from 
Ezra C. Knopf, who gave twenty-four specimens of rough and cut 
catalinite which provide a good representation of this semi-precious 
stone. A collection of over three thousand specimens of invertebrate 
fossils, besides some minerais, was presented by Mr. J. C. Langtry. 
This collection was gathered by the late C. B. Dyer, a well-known 
paleontologist, and is particularly notable for the large variety of 
specimens in it and the careful preparation of each. Besides repre- 
sentatives of several hundred species, the collection contains two para- 
types. The material constituting the collection was gathered chiefly in 
Ohio, but other districts are represented. The collection includes a 
number of beautifully preserved specimens of crinoids and trilobites 
well adapted for exhibition, and all of the material is so well worked 
out that it will lend itself readily to further study. A number of 
specimens of minerals from localities now exhausted is another 
valuable feature. A fine series of fossil plants, containing repre- 
sentatives of nineteen species from Eocene beds of Louisiana and 
Texas, was presented by Prof. O. M. Ball of the Agricultural and 
Mechanical College of Texas. The excellent state of preservation 
of these fossils and the care with which they had been prepared, 
mounted and named by Prof. Ball gave especial value to the gift, 
both for the purposes of exhibition and study. The Standard Oil 
Company of Indiana kindly presented a collection of 168 specimens 
illustrating uses of petroleum wax, which shows many interesting 
and important substances derived from this product. This company 
also provided a large floor case built according to the Museum standard

design for the installment of further illustrative material which will 
be supplied later. A series of specimens of fuller’s earths used in the 
clarification of oils was also presented by this company. A life-sized 
bust in bronze of the late Director, Frederick J. V. Skiff, was presented 
by Mrs. Skiff. This bust, the work of the well-known sculptor, Henry 
Hering, is an excellent likeness of the late, lamented Director. A 
number of exhibitors at the meeting of the American Mining Con- 
gress held in Chicago in October kindly gave valuable specimens 
from their exhibits. Among these may be mentioned thirty-four spect- 
mens of peat products presented by F. A. Wildes, State Superin- 
tendent of Mines, Minnesota; thirteen specimens of oi! shales from 
various localities, donated by the United States Bureau of Mines; 
forty-five specimens of ores of Alaska presented by the Alaska Com- 
mission and John Ronan; and a number of specimens of coal and 
other minerals from Colorado, given by the Colorado State Bureau 
of Mines. A collection of 218 specimens representing important 
minerals and ores of the mining districts of New Mexico was re- 
ceived through the generosity of Mr. B. C. Gilbert. He had pre- 
viously devoted several weeks to collecting in several of the localities 
represented. Especially new and important among these were a 
series of radium ores, used as a source of radium in therapeutic treat- 
ments; also fine specimens of turquois, chalcotrichite, halotrichite and 
other minerals. The assistance of the Grant County Chamber of 
Commerce through its Secretary, Mr. Burton Bunch, in this con- 
nection is also gratefully acknowledged. Three specimens of radium 
ores accompanied by descriptive matter were given by the Radium 
Information Service, and some large showy specimens of arsenic ores 
and some excellent specimens of metallic arsenic were presented by 
Mariner and Hoskins. 

Accessions during the year in the Department of Zodlogy con- 
sisted chiefly of gifts, although a number of fishes and reptiles were 
purchased, chiefly in the local markets. Noteworthy among the gifts 
was a collection of fifty-eight mounted birds and mammals received 
by bequest from the estate of Mrs. Katherine Rowe of Chicago. 


This collection contains a large number of interesting albinos and 
birds of abnormal coloration collected by Mr. Nicholas Rowe during 
a period of years in which, as editor and proprietor of the sports- — 
man’s journal, “American Field,” he had especial opportunities to 
secure such material. Another important collection of albinos, con- Bi 


sisting of forty-three birds and one mammal, was the gift of Mr.

Ruthven Deane of Chicago. This collection includes many specimens 
which have been described and recorded in ornithological journals, 
and it is, therefore, of considerable historical interest. The addition 
of these two collections to those previously possessed by the Museum 
makes its collections of albinotic birds one of the largest, if not the 
largest, in America. In the Division of Mammals, the most important 
accessions were two Canadian mountain sheep presented by Mr. H. 
B. Conover, of Chicago, and twenty skulls and horns of South 
African game animals presented by Mr. A. A. Davidson, also of 
Chicago. A novel and valuable gift of three animal groups done in 
bronze by Carl Akeley was presented by President Field. The 
subjects of these bronzes are: “The Charging Herd,” representing a 
herd of wild elephants ; “The Wounded Comrade,” showing a wounded 
elephant being supported and assisted by two of his mates; and 
“Lion and Buffalo,” showing a bull buffalo attacked by a lion. The 
Division of Insects received the welcome donation of 131 specimens 
of named, Florida dragon-flies, collected and presented by Mr. J. 
Williamson of Bluffton, Indiana. Dr. Sven Narbo kindly volun- 
teered to collect insects in the vicinity of Stavanger, Norway, and 
has, so far, donated over 100 desirable specimens of various orders. 
The total number of accessions is 1,369, distributed as follows: Mam- 
mals, 75; Birds, 104; Birds’ eggs, 4; Fishes, 54; Reptiles and 
Batrachians, 278; and Insects, 854. 


INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT. —A total of 158 
exhibition cases was newly installed in the Department of Anthropology 
during the year, and 478 cases were re-installed with numerous changes 
and improvements, making a total of 636. The total number of cases 
now on exhibition in this Department is 702, distributed as follows: 
Stanley Field Hall, 12; Edward E. Ayer Hall, 62; Mary D. Sturges 
Hall, 42; Hall 4, 43; Hall 5, 54; Hall 6, 50; Hall 7, 50; Hall 8, 61; 
Hall 9, 58; Joseph N. Field Hall, 103; Hall 23, 8; Hall 24, 80; Hall 
32, 79; Hall 33, 1; Gem Room, 9. The plans, as mapped out in the 
old building were generally adhered to, and the installation was com- 
plete on the day of the reopening of the Museum, May 2. Higinbotham 
Hall, opened June 6, contains nine wall cases, showing Egypt- 
ian, Syrian and Algerian jewelry, gold and silver jewelry of India, 
and prehistoric American gold ornaments. On July 18, Hall 23 
was thrown open to the public. In this room are shown Chinese 
maps, tapestries, and screens obtained by the Blackstone Expedition, 
and two long painted scrolls, presented in 1912 by the Tuesday Art 


28 Fretp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. 


and Travel Club of Chicago. Three of the maps were actually 
printed in 1461, thirty years before the discovery of America, One, 
a general map of China, drawn to an exact scale, is a rubbing taken 
from an engraved stone tablet erected in a.v. 1136, and preserved 
in the Museum of Inscriptions at Si-an fu, Shen-si Province. The 
Eighteen Arhat, disciples of Buddha, crossing the sea, form the sub- 
ject of an excellent example of silk tapestry woven in the eighteenth 
century. The notable achievements of the Chinese in inlaid feather- 
work are represented by a screen of twelve panels, each of which is 
adorned with a floral composition, symbolic of a month of the year, 
the chief decorations being formed by the bright blue feathers of the 
kingfisher. The two paintings are masterpieces of the Sung period 
(twelfth century), one illustrating the occupations, games, and pastimes 
of boys; the other (27 feet long) showing the life of a medieval town 
with its busy streets and traffic on land and water. The 360 Japanese 
Surimono have been divided into four separate series to be shown in 
rotation. Each group is to remain on view for a period of two 
months. The first comprises examples of the work by the well-known 
artist, Hokusai, and his pupils. The second aims to illustrate the 
New Year's festival, as well as the games and pastimes of the 
people. In the third are associated those prints depicting Japanese 
mythology, the pantheon of the gods and heroes. The fourth series 
contains prints featuring domestic architecture, the house and its fur- 
niture, so that an important phase of Japanese life is brought out 
by each exhibit. Frank W. Gunsaulus Hall was opened on the 2nd 
of May, showing the work of Hokusai and the painted Tosa screen, 
presented to the Museum by the late Dr. Gunsaulus in 1919. Only two 
groups of Surimono have so far been placed on view, as the condi- 
tion of the walls made the closing of Gunsaulus Hall necessary toward 
the middle of October. The Tinguian village group in Hall 9 has just 
been supplemented and completed by the addition of 206 new figures 
and other accessories, modeled by J. G. Prasuhn. The model is intended 
to show the life of a Tinguian village on a summer morning. About the — 
houses the women are busily engaged in pounding out rice, preparing __ 
and spinning cotton, and making baskets; others are at the spring, — 
filling their jars with water or washing clothes, while one is removing _ 
rice from the granary. Beneath one house a family group is engaged 
in stripping tobacco, a load of which is just being brought into the 
settlement by means of a carabao and sled. An old man is repairing 
a harrow, while a companion just from the field sits by to watch and 
talk. The miniature furnishings of the houses, and the various ani-

mals scattered about the scene, give a very realistic atmosphere to 
it. Plans for the arrangement of storage material on the third floor 
were drawn up last May. Storage cases were set up in the work 
rooms opposite the offices of the assistant curators, and storage racks 
were built in rooms 29-31, 33, 34, 36, 55, 65 and 66, set aside for 
this purpose. The unpacking, shifting, sorting and permanent placing 
of this material absorbed the attention of the Department for six 
months. The assignment of the rooms is as follows: room 28, ex- 
change collections; room 29, pottery of Southwest North America; 
room 30, South America; rooms 31 and 33, India, Ceylon, Burma and 
Siam; room 34, Borneo, Java; room 36, Philippines; room 55, Mela- 
nesia ; room 65, Tibet; and room 66, China. Two special cabinets were 
made for the safe keeping of Chinese and Tibetan scrolls. Two 
screen carriers for four-foot cases and eight lay-out tables were made 
for the purpose of installation. The Japanese sword-guards, not utilized 
for exhibition purposes, have been arranged in a cabinet to serve as a 
study collection. The office of the Assistant Curator of Malayan Eth- 
nology was transferred from room 36 to room 43, room 36 being 
utilized for storage purposes. The 170 exhibition cases, which in the 
beginning of the year were stored in the Boat Hall on the ground 
floor, were transferred to the fourth floor. It is gratifying to record that 
the methods of exhibition and labeling have met with universal ap- 
proval, and that wide use has been made of the collections for both 
study and practical purposes. 


Progress and achievement in the Department of Botany during 
the past year has been more*than ordinarily satisfactory. The com- 
fort, convenience and facilities of the offices and work rooms in the 
new building have rendered the efforts of the staff more efficient than 
could possibly have resulted in the old. The first four months of the 
year were devoted entirely to the arrangement, reinstallation and com- 
pletion of the case installations after having been packed and moved. 
During this work a number of the case units were entirely readjusted 
and many new specimens added. Two cases were installed in Stanley 
Field Hall, as indexes to the character of the installations in the de- 
partment itself. For these a number of elements were specially pre- 
pared: for the case illustrating plant life a delicate model of the flowers 
of Sugar Cane was executed and for the plant economics case two 
branches of resin producing plants were added to the typical specimens 
of rare and attractive amber-like gums. Since the opening of the 
Museum building to the public the following new installations have 
been added to those which were already in place in Hall 28—the 


30 Fietp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. 


Hall of Plant Life: four units illustrating the more important cereal 
grasses; one in further addition to the Palm Family; a double unit 
was installed with a life-size reproduction of the flowering and fruit- 
ing top of a Coconut Palm, showing the succession of flowers and 
fruits from the unopened flower bud through clusters in all stages 
and development to the mature fruit. A unit was installed illustrating 
the characteristics of the Dogwood Family, including a complete, 
natural-size branch of the Flowering Dog-wood in full flower and 
young leaf. Several interesting plaques were added to the cases of 
micro-plants devoted to the green Alge; four stages illustrating the 
development of Ulothrix through “swarm-spores”; eight stages of 
sexual and asexual reproduction of Oedogonium; and enlarged models 
of Botrydium, Bryopsis, Caulerpa, Halimeda and Vaucheria. All of 
the installations indicated above were of studies produced in the Sara 
C. Field Laboratories of the Department. In Hall 27 a central trophy 
installation has been made of a trunk of the California Redwood, 
eight feet, ten inches in diameter, this diameter being half the average 
growth of the species. In this hall all the tree trunks are in this ratio, 
therefore, this “trophy” serves as an index of comparison for all 
other trees therein installed. Work, preparatory to further installa- 
tions, is well under way, consisting mainly of a life-size plant of the 
Florida Coontie, Zamia floridano, and a sporophyl of the “Easter 
Palm”, Cycas circinalis, to typify the Cycad Family; a full size Pine- 
apple Plant in flower and young fruit, to represent the Bromelia 
Family; a flower head of the Screw-pine indicative of the peculiar 
Pandanus Family, and a series of enlarged glass models revealing 
the characteristic forms of various useful fibers such as Cotton, Flax, 
Ramie, Hemp, ete. To accompany the Redwood in Hall 27 a trans- 
verse “wheel” section and a large plank of the tree are nearly finished 
for installation. Preparatory to the issuance of a Guide or Handbook 
to the Department, all of the exhibit cases have been renumbered in 
such a way that no confusion in reference is possible and the storage 
lockers, containing study material, are rapidly being organized to 
agree with the new rearrangement of the cases. The new quarters 
of the Sara C. Field Laboratories Plant Reproduction Section have re- 
ceived material re-fitting and are being rapidly equipped to increase 
production of studies in plant life. The Section now occupies eight 
rooms on the third floor, each devoted to a special phase of work; 
from the Biologist’s Laboratory through the Glass Worker’s Shop 
to that in which the Assemblers complete the preparations for the 
Exhibit Halls. The Departmental Library room has been fitted with

cases and made ready for the permanent arrangement of its volumes 
and pamphlets. The four Herbarium rooms are being installed as fast 
as cases can be obtained. The main, or Flowering Plant Herbarium, 
is fully organized and open for reference. 

During the early part of the year the attention of the Department 
of Geology was devoted chiefly to completing the installation of halls 
or parts of halls which had not been worked upon up to that time 
in order thatthe entire exhibition series of the Department might 
present a finished appearance upon the opening day. It is gratifying 
to report that by devoted labor on the part of the staff, including 
considerable overtime work, this result was accomplished. In Stan- 
ley Field Hall two wall cases and two floor cases were installed. Of 
these, one of the floor cases is devoted to the large Quinn Canyon 
meteorite, and the other to representative specimens of fossils. In 
one of the wall cases there was installed a collection of different 
varieties of quartz and in the other a collection of metalliferous 
minerals. In the upper part of the wall cases the specimens are 
installed on individual blocks fastened to the backs of the cases and 
these blocks also serve as supports for the labels. In the other cases, 
pedestals or the case floors serve as mounts. New bases carefully 
designed to bear the weight of the specimens and at the same time 
present a finished appearance, were built for two large glacial slabs 
in Hall 34 and the specimens installed upon them. New specimens 
received during the year for the Chalmers crystal collection in the 
same hall were placed on exhibition in the cases containing that 
collection and the entire collection rearranged and to some extent 
remounted. The collection of radium-bearing minerals shown in 
this hall was enlarged, rearranged and relabeled. In Hall 35, 16 
tables 14 feet long and from 5 to 7 feet wide, constructed in the 
Museum, were placed in the west half of the hall in alcove positions. 
On these 53 relief maps were installed, the maps being grouped in 
such a manner that neighboring localities or similar physiographic 
types are associated in position. Two tables of smaller size at the 
end of the hall are used to display rainfall and glacial maps of 
the United States. The model of the Virginia Natural Bridge 
was placed in the center of the hall. Eleven maps which had not 
been previously framed or glazed were provided with this protection 
and all the maps exhibited are now safe-guarded in this manner from 
dust or other injury. Eight upright cases containing collections illus- 
trating various features of physical geology were installed in the east- 
ern end of the hall. Two of these cases are devoted to volcanic phe- 


32 Fietp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. 


nomena, lavas, ashes, tuffs and other products of typical volcanoes 
being shown. In another case, cave formations, such as stalactites, 
stalagmites and gypsum growths from various caves are installed, - 
care having been taken to mount each specimen in a natural position. 
Rock slabs showing ripple-marked and mud-cracked surfaces occupy 
another case, while specimens illustrating faulting and folding, joints, 
veins, dikes, various rock textures and dendrites occupy four other 
cases. The gypsum cave from Utah and the large fulgurite are also 
installed in this hall. The installation of Hall 36 was completed along 
the lines indicated in the report of last year. To the petroleum col- 
lection, which occupies the east end of the hall, considerable new 
material acquired during the year was added, the most important in- 
crement being a series of specimens illustrating the uses of paraffin, 
presented by the Standard Oil Co. (Indiana). These specimens in- 
clude many bright-colored objects which relieve the somewhat somber 
effect of some of the other exhibits in the hall. The model of the 
original Standard Oil refinery at Cleveland was thoroughly renovated 
and installed in an individual case in an alcove adjoining the petroleum 
collection and the large section of an Australian coal seam was pro- 
vided with a new case, the base was newly finished and it was placed 
near the north entrance of the hall. A model of a coal mine, showing 
the laying out of a mine and the extraction of the coal by the panel- 
retreating system, was placed near this. A model illustrating the for- 
mation of peat in a glacial lake was installed adjoining the peat exhibit. 
In the western half of the hall there have been installed in table cases 
the soil and clay collections and several minor collections, such as those 
of fuller’s earths, mineral soaps, sands and mineral pigments. Much 
of this material had been withdrawn for years from exhibition on 
account of lack of space and the opportunity to exhibit it was, there- 
fore, welcomed. The U. S. Department of Agriculture’s official 
classification of soils is represented by a series of specimens received 
from that Department. They are shown in glass jars which fill part 
of an upright case. Other specimens of soils, arranged according 
to the better-known, ordinary groupings of loams, marls, etc., occupy 
four table cases, where they are displayed in shallow trays. Another 
table case contains groups of specimens which illustrate modes of 
formation of soils, compositions of soils and plant foods in soils. 
The largest collection in this part of the hall is the clay collection, 
which requires for its display thirteen table cases. These are ar- 
ranged in twenty eight groups according to Orton's classification, the 
installation being as follows: Along the south wall a line of four

cases contains a synoptic collection which illustrates the group and 
serves as a key to the larger collection. The nature, origin and general 
character of the clays of each group are shown by labels and the 
relations of the groups to each other are indicated by diagrams 
painted on the floors of the cases, the lines of which connect with 
each specimen in such a manner as to make its relations to the other 
specimens evident. Numerous specimens of each group of clays are 
shown in eight adjoining cases. A briquette burned from the same 
clay as the specimen is frequently installed with the specimen in order 
‘to show the character of the material in its most used form. While 
the number of clay deposits is so great that anything like a complete 
collection is both impossible and undesirable, enough members of 
each group are shown to illustrate the great variety in character 
which different deposits of this useful substance assume. A collec- 
tion illustrating the different effects obtained by variations in the 
methods of burning clay, which was received during the year, has 
also been installed here. Several groups of specimens also illustrate 
the effect of various impurities and minor components of clay upon 
its character when burned, while the use of clay in pottery is illustrated 
by a series showing stages in the manufacture of Japanese pottery. 
Other cases in the hall contain collections of other earthy substances 
of economic interest. Thus a collection of natural and Portland 
cements fills half of one case and a collection of fuller’s earths the 
other half. Another case contains a collection of various kinds of 
sands of industrial importance, such as molding and glass sands. 
Uses of silica in its various forms are illustrated synoptically in 
another case. Earthy pigments, including ochers and allied paint 
substances, occupy an upright case. Two square, upright cases contain 
large specimens of iron ore and fluorite and a large model of the 
Chandler iron mine has been installed at the west end of the hall. 
This model, before installation, was thoroughly renovated, missing 
timbering restored, a new head frame built and the whole model 
repainted. The installation of Skiff Hall had been practically com- 
pleted in 1920, but a few remaining details, such as the installation 
of miscellaneous labels and readjustment of the fastenings of the 
cases were accomplished during the past year. Some specimens 
received during the year were also installed among their respective 
groups. A mahogany pedestal was prepared for the bust of Dr. 
Skiff presented by Mrs. Skiff, and the bust, on this pedestal, was 
installed in the center of the hall. Installation of Higinbotham Hall 
was delayed about a month beyond that of the rest of the Museum, 
but owing to the isolated position of this hall, no inconvenience 


4 Fiecp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. 


resulted. The collection of gems was installed in five floor cases in 
this hall, the cases being first newly lined with silk, all glass care- 
fully cleaned and all woodwork refinished. New silk mounts for the 
individual specimens were provided throughout, 760 mounts being used 
for this purpose. The mounts were also newly labeled and new labels 


were provided for the unmounted specimens. To the collection as — 


previously exhibited, there was added the collection illustrating folk- 
lore of gems and that of models of historic diamonds. The hall was 
opened to the public on June 6. Installation in Hall 38 was chiefly 
confined to mounting and placing the large specimens belonging in 
the hall, although some case exhibits were completed, notably those 
of the Minooka Mastodons and the Asphaltum Beds fossils. Among the 
large objects installed, the fore leg of the dinosaur Morosaurus was 
mounted on its former base and missing parts of the foot restored 
in such a manner as to agree with present knowledge of the structure 
of this animal. A hind leg of the dinosaur Camarasaurus was re- 
mounted so that it would stand alone, instead of being partly sup- 
ported by a wall as it had been as previously exhibited. These two 
limbs were placed on either side of an entrance to the hall, correspond- 
ing in position to the place of their period in geological time. The 
mounting of the skeleton of the large dinosaur, Apatasaurus, proved 
a task of considerable magnitude, but by industrious effort, was car- 
ried to completion before the opening day. Although, on the whole, 
as a result of careful packing, the specimen stood the jar and jolt of 
moving well, some breaks occurred which required repair. Among the 
parts which had suffered injury were some of the vertebral processes 
and some of the ribs and legs and pelvic bones. Much of this failure 
was due to the fact that the plaster used as a cement in preparing the 
bones had, after twenty years, become weakened and brittle. Hence 
a thorough recementing and refinishing of many of the bones had to 
be accomplished before they could be placed in position. Another dif- 
ficulty in mounting was due to the fact that the height of the specimen 
brought it so near the ceiling that ordinary hoisting apparatus could 
not be employed. All these difficulties were gradually overcome, how- 
ever, and an excellent mounting of the specimen accomplished. After 


erection of the specimen, the base on which it was mounted was care-_ 


fully refinished, the metal framework repainted and a protective rail- 
ing fastened about it. The mount is placed at about the center of the 


hall, this corresponding to its place in geologic time. At the north end | 


of the halla number of large mounts of fossil animals of the Pleistocene 
period were installed. These include a skeleton of the Mastodon, 
a Mastodon and a Mammoth skull, casts of Megatherium and Glyp- 


=

todon and a restoration of the Moa. The Mastodon skeleton, which 
had been disarticulated for moving, was reassembled and, in remount- 
ing, some modifications were made. The tusks were reset so that 
instead of curving outward as formerly, they were given a position 
similar to that common to other members of the elephant family. 
Some additional supports were provided for ofher parts, and the 
entire skeleton was also cleaned and treated with shellac for the purpose 
of further hardening and preserving the bones. The base supporting 
the skeleton was refinished and all metal supports repainted. Adjoin- 
ing this was placed the skull of the Yorkville Mastodon previously 
exhibited and a skull of the northern Mammoth, which had not been 
before on exhibition. The latter specimen, obtained from Wood- 
chopper Creek, Alaska, where it had been found in gold mining at 
a depth of one hundred feet, was complete and in good preserva- 
tion except for one tusk. From the preserved tusk another was 
modeled, a base was constructed and an excellent mount thus ob- 
tained. The cast of Megatherium, which had been taken apart for 
moving, was, before mounting, joined together, several parts which 
had been broken for disjoining were restored and the whole cleaned, 
coated with shellac and recolored. The base was also thoroughly 
refinished. In the central isle of the hall the skeleton of the ex- 
tinct Irish deer, after reassembling and cleaning was installed, as 
was also a cast of the skull and tusks of the elephantine genus, 
Stegodon, which had not been exhibited for several years on ac- 
count of lack of space. This cast was thoroughly renovated before 
installation and mounted on a base remodeled from a previous use. 
Some renovations and repairs were also performed on other Jarge 
mounts in the hall, such as those of the fossil turtle, Colossochelys, 
the jaws of the shark, Carcharodon, and the cast of the skull of 
Dinotherium. In the paleontological laboratory attention was chiefly 
devoted during the latter part of the year to preparation for exhibi- 
tion of the skeleton of the Columbian Mammoth presented some 
years ago by Mr. George Manierre. It was deemed desirable to 
reconstruct the mounting of the skeleton so that a more nearly 
normal position would be presented and to improve the prepara- 
tion of the parts. Several coats of paint with which the bones had 
previously been invested were removed by means of various sol- 
vents and tools and some hardening treatments were given thd 
parts, especially the excellent tusk. The skull. of a modern ele- 
phant which had previously been used in mounting the specimen 
was discarded and a newly modeled one based on careful studies 
of a more closely allied form supplied. Nine dorsal and three 


36 Fretp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. 


caudal vertebrae were also similarly supplied by modelling from 
corresponding forms. The work of reconstruction of this skeleton 
is still in progress but it is hoped to have it soon completed. A 
splendid pair of lower jaws of the Columbian Mammoth which was 
included with the gift was prepared and placed on exhibition in a 
case with other bones of the Mammoth. Owing to other demands, 
but little time has been available for work upon the study collections, 
but opportunity was found to unpack and install in drawers the sys- 
tematic lithological study collection numbering 1305 specimens, and 
the collection of rocks of Lake Superior numbering 87 specimens. 
Labels were installed with the specimens and easy accessibility of 
the collections provided. The study collections in vertebrate paleon- 
tology have also been largely unpacked and distributed in trays or 
upon shelves, though the complete organization of this series has 
not yet been accomplished. 

Reinstallation of the exhibits in the Department of Zodlogy 
continued from January until the opening of the Museum, the entire 
staff being engaged in this work continuously. The greatest physical 
task was presented by the large habitat groups of birds and mammals. 
These had been entirely dismantled for moving and, although such 
accessories as leaves and flowers had been carefully preserved, they 
were frequently dissociated and required skillful reassembling. The 
actual groundwork of these cases was inevitably destroyed or so 
altered that in most cases it was necessary to resurface it. The snow 
scenes, such as those in the Polar Bear, Musk Ox, and several bird 
groups, suffered especially and were completely redone. The groups 
of African game animals, the Deer group, and others had been pho- 
tographed from various angles and these photographs served as guides 
in reinstalling the scenes in their original form. The work was 
accomplished expeditiously and successfully at the expense of much 
time and labor on the part of the taxidermists. New labels were 
written and printed for all the larger groups and for much other 
material. Owing to the lack of space in any one hall for the entire 
systematic exhibit of mammals, this exhibit was divided by placing 
the so-called “horned and hoofed” mammals in Pullman Hall and 
other mammals, from marsupials to apes and monkeys, in the ad- 
joining Hall 15. From May until December unsettled conditions 
prevented continuous work on new exhibits of mammals and birds, 
but so far as possible the taxidermists have modeled and prepared 
manikins for the group of Olympic Elk and have repaired and re- 
mounted birds for the systematic exhibit. For Stanley Field Hall, 
three new groups were prepared and installed. One of these shows a

Red Fox in a woodland setting pausing before a log and listening to 
several mice which are quarreling beneath it. Another shows a 
winter scene with a Horned Owl pouncing upon a rabbit and a third 
displays various species of Birds of Paradise. Although considerable 
preparation had been made before removal from the old building, 
it was found necessary in installing the exhibit of fishes to make 
what was practically a new exhibit with almost complete rearrange- 
ment. Much of the material was poorly mounted or poorly colored 
after mounting. Some of this was discarded and the rest repaired 
and refinished. After the opening of the Museum, work was continued 
on the fish exhibit and altogether thirty new mounts have been pre- 
pared, twenty-eight repaired or remade, and thirty-eight casts made 
and colored. In this work a new method was employed to a large 
extent involving the use of a cast of the body of the fish combined 
with the real fin and tail. This method has proved expeditious and has 
given very satisfactory results in all cases where fresh specimens 
have been available for use as models. The reptile exhibit, which had 
never been large was reduced by the elimination of imperfect and 
unworthy specimens to a total of three cases. In one is a single 
large alligator; another is devoted principally to turtles; and the 
third contains miscellaneous snakes and lizards. Preparations have 
been made for the improvement of this exhibit and a number of 
additional specimens have been prepared. Many snakes and nearly 
all frogs cannot be prepared satisfactorily by the usual methods and 
the specimens heretofore shown have been far from pleasing or real- 
istic. To overcome this the taxidermist has perfected a method by 
which these animals may be reproduced in celluloid so as to give an 
exceedingly lifelike appearance, far superior to anything accom- 
plished by previous methods. Work has already been completed on 
models of two frogs, one soft-shelled turtle, and four snakes and 
progress made on a number of others. During the first half of 
the year the Associate Curator was occupied continuously with the 
tedious and exacting task of reinstalling the exhibit of inverte- 
brates, including the very large collection of shells, some 1,200 
units of which were provided with new labels. For Stanley Field 
Hall, a new installation was prepared in a wall case showing some 
of the more interesting invertebrates, such as sponges, jelly-fishes, 
corals, star-fishes, sea-urchins, and a series of beautiful and useful 
shells. Later in the year considerable time was devoted to finishing 
a new case containing two habitat groups of insects. One of these 
groups represents a scene in the dune region near Miller, Indiana, 
and shows the characteristic insects of that region. The other illus-

trates, by means of wax accessories and a tinted, bromide enlargement, 
the destructive work and the various stages of growth of the well- 
known tomato worm moth. After this case was finished, work was 
begun with a view to condensing the shell exhibit by the care- 
ful elimination of duplicates. Progress thus far indicates that a fifty 
per cent condensation is feasible without loss of effect. In the 
Division of Osteology, prior to actual reinstallation, there was a con- 
siderable period of unpacking, cleaning, mending and remounting of 
the large skeletons, such as those of the whales, elephants, and other 
large mammals. These were then installed in open stands in the 
hall assigned to them and a certain number, for lack of space, were 
consigned to storage. Similar work proceeded with small and medium- 
sized skeletons and these were installed on shelves in closed cases. 
In the latter part of the year the skeleton of a large adult Chim- 
panzee was remounted to replace an immature example, about 150 
skulls were cleaned, and a beginning was made in the work of un- 
packing, classifying, and labeling the small unmounted ligamentary 
skeletons of the reference collection in comparative osteology. The 
reference collection of fishes and reptiles was placed on shelves and 
a beginning made toward getting the material into well classified and 
accessible condition. 


Exrepirions.—Under the patronage of Mr. William J. Wrigley, Jr., 
the Curator of the Department of Botany visited the Gray Herbarium, 


Harvard, the New York Botanical Garden, and the United States — 


National Herbarium at Washington, for the purpose of studying the 
older collections from Santa Catalina Island, California. He was 
accorded the privilege of examining the material in each institution 
and amassed data that will materially aid in the preparation of a 
Flora of the island. The Curator also made two trips to Geneseo, 
Illinois, during which he packed the complete Harper Herbarium 
for shipment to the Museum; and a trip to Pharr, Louisiana, where he 
secured a complete series of specimens for installation, representing 
the production of cane sugar through all steps in its extraction and 
crystallization. 


THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.— 
Sixteen cases were prepared during the past year and listed with those 
already available for loaning to the public schools. With the addition 
of these cases a total of 693 has been reached. The resignation of 
the chief taxidermist created conditions that were, for the greater 
part of the year, unfavorable to a larger production of cases. Though

the department was fortunate in securing the services of a former as- 
sistant, his work was not of a wholly productive nature owing to 
the many demands made upon his time by the repairs that were 
necessary to entomological specimens and to group accessories. Sev- 
eral conferences were held with Mr. Dudley Grant Hays, Director 
of Visual Instruction in the public schools, for the purpose of dis- 
cussing the system of loaning cases to the schools and of the study of 
them while there. On Mr. Hays’ recommendation, a list of case sub- 
jects available for school use was placed on file in the office of each 
principal where it could be consulted by the teachers with a view to 
making selections which would correlate certain lessons. He also sent 
to all public schools and branches a bulletin containing directions for 
reaching the Museum, rules of admission to it, references to lunches 
and lunch room, and requests to teachers as to the care of loan 
cases. In many other helpful ways, Mr. Hays has taken active part. 
The new chassis purchased during the school vacation and fitted to 
the old, but repaired and repainted delivery truck body, is better 
suited for the purposes of this department than the former one. 
With it, it has been possible to maintain a school day schedule since 
the beginning of its service. This schedule consists of collections 
of cases from ten schools and the delivery of them to the same number 
of schools. With the former chassis only eight collections anc de- 
liveries could be made. The addition of thirty-two more schools to 
the previous schedule demanded this increased daily service. With 
this addition a total number of 320 schools is listed to receive the 
cases. Additional visits of inspection and inquiry were made by 
members of the bureau of exhibits of the United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture. Desirous of having in Pittsburgh a circu- 
lating system of loan cases similar to the Harris Extension, Mr. 
John A. Hollinger, Director of Visual Instruction in the public 
schools of that city visited the Chicago public schools for the pur- 
pose of getting first hand information as to the utilization of the 
cases of this department and the benefit derived from them. He 
also sought information of this department concerning its meth- 
ods of preparing and circulating its cases. Upon request twenty- 
five cases were loaned at one time to the Washburne Continuation 
School for its course during July and August. The three classes 
of students in this school are: the disabled soldiers assigned to it 
by the Federal Board of Vocational Education ; apprentices in dif- 
ferent trades: and the fourteen to sixteen year old working boys who 
are required to attend school eight hours a week. In connection with 
the loan of the cases to this school, Mr. E. G. Bauman, in charge 


40 Fietp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. 


wrote: “The fine collection which you kindly sent us early in the 
summer created so much interest and was of such great value to our 
continuation schoolboys as to show that the collection was a great 
educational factor. We hope that you may see your way clear to put . 
our school on the list of those to which collections are sent from time 
to time.” This school has been listed to receive cases. Mr. Paul M. 
Rea, Director of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, requested 
that twelve cases be loaned to the Cleveland School of Education for 
the purpose of supplementing a course on visual instruction to be - 
given by that institution during this summer term. The request was 
granted and a selection of the cases was made by Mr. Rea. Several 
cases were loaned to the Chicago Chapter of the Wild Flower Pres- 
ervation Society of America for its annual exhibition. A loan of 
cases was also made to the Conservation Committee ofthe Second 
District of the Illinois Federation of Woman's Clubs for its second 
annual bird-house exhibit.

the 241 days from May 2 to December 31, the total admissions were 
517,285 of which 425,001 were free and 92,284 were paid admissions, 
as against 328,321, the best total attendance for any one year in 
Jackson Park. The most encouraging figures, however, are those 
of the attendance of public school children, students and teachers. 
The figures in the period under review show a total attendance of 
21,928 as against a best total of 9,118 for any one year in Jackson 
Park. Details of the attendance record and the receipts from at- 
tendance will be found elsewhere in this report.
