ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
1925
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, 1925.
Throughout the year, the Museiun has so maintained its activities
that pubHc attendance has been notably increased. Frequent mention
in the public press of the progress of the Institution and of its expedi-
tions, researches and accessions has doubtless been of much aid in
increasing popular interest and attendance. This interest has, in turn,
served to stimulate the members of the scientific and administrative
staff to more strenuous efforts.
As is indicated in the following report, the activities and functions
of the Museum are ever widening. This is especially true in the
advancement of educational work. During the period under review an
additional extramiiral program has been inaugtirated which provides
for assigning lecturers from the Museum to various parts of the city.
On account of the addition of this and other educational and research
programs to the activities of the Museimi the year's budget shows a
deficit of $35,806.01. Although the Museum has received memorable
contributions to its endowment for the purpose of defraying the cost
of its enhanced activities, income from these sources is not as yet
available. Moreover, despite the increased income provided by the
South Park Commissioners from the tax levy, it does not suffice to
meet the actual cost of maintenance.
The hearty appreciation by the public of the enlarged activities of
the Museum has produced a demand for service greater than can be
met with the present endowment. With an increased endowment, more
entertainment for adults, enlarged facilities for children and students,
and a very desirable extension of the educational program to include,
specifically, the foreign born, could be provided.
The largest single gift received by the Museum during the year was
that of Mrs. Anna Louise Raymond, consisting of an endowment of
$500,000 and creating a memorial to her husband, the late James Nelson
Raymond. The purpose of this fund is indicated in its name, "The
James Nelson and Anna Louise Raymond Public School and Children's
Lecture Fund." The income from this endowment is paid as an annuity
393
394 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
during her lifetime to Mrs. Raymond. Annuities on endowments of
this nature to the Institution are exempt from income tax levies and
are also guaranteed against fluctuation in amount. An exhibition hall
has been named James Nelson and Anna Louise Ra>Tnond Hall to com-
memorate this gift.
Securities to the value of $100,000 were transferred to the Museum
by Miss Kate Buckingham, who receives as an annuity the interest on
her gift. By action of the Board of Trustees, an exhibition hall has been
named in memory of the late Clarence Buckingham.
The conception of the James Simpson-Roosevelt Asiatic Expedition
to the Himalayas, the Pamirs and Turkestan for zoological specimens
lay with the Messrs. Roosevelt, Theodore and Kermit, who undertook to
furnish their services without remuneration. They were accompanied by
the natiu-alist, Mr. George K. Cherrie, and by Mr. Suydam Cutting, a
volunteer photographer. The expedition was conducted under the
patronage of Mr. James Simpson. According to cable reports, the
hunters have met with great success, having secured, among other
large mammals, eight specimens of the rare Marco Polo's sheep. Numer-
ous birds, reptiles and small mammals are also mentioned in reports.
A contribution of $125,000 was received from Mr. Ernest R. Graham,
a portion of which, supplemented by an additional $12,000 from
President Stanley Field, was used for the purchase of the Egyptian
collections made by Professor James H. Breasted. These collections
include 580 textiles, 10 bronzes, 154 pieces of alabaster and one black
granite statue, representing the architect Senmut. The hall containing
the Egyptian collection has been named Ernest R. Graham Hall.
Other contributions made by President Field were: $8,000 toward
the deficit in the operating budget for 1925; $51,629.50 as a further gift
toward the building fund deficit ; the purchase of the skins of the Man-
Eaters of Tsavo, now on display, mounted; and, together with Messrs.
Henry J. Patten and Charles B. Pike, the gift of the Gunther ethnological
and ethnographical collection. President Field also contributed $14,300
toward the Stanley Field Plant Reproduction Fund, of which he is the
exclusive patron.
The Captain Marshall Field annuity of $100,000 continues to enable
the Museum to extend its expeditionary program and to widen the scope
of its publications. Most of the expeditions sent out by the Museum
during the year were partly or wholly indebted to this fund. A new
series of publications, the Technique Series, dealing with museum prac-
tice, both administrative and scientific, was inaugurated, two numbers
being issued.
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 395
Late in the year, Captain Marshall Field announced his intention
to present to the IMuseiun a series of twenty-six sculptures of prize
British domestic animals for exhibition in the Department of Zoology.
These sculpttires are the work of the well-known English sculptor,
Herbert Haseltine.
Mr. Richard T. Crane, Jr., gave $30,000 to the Museum for the pur-
chase of an admirable set of three life-size groups, cast in bronze, por-
traying native Africans engaging in lion spearing. These bronzes are
the work of the noted sculptor and taxidermist, Carl E. Akeley.
"The Chronicles of America," a series of thirty-four motion picture
films, totalling one hundred reels, devoted to American history issued by
the Yale University Press, was the gift of Mr. Chauncey Keep in
memory of his son, Henry Blair Keep, who lost his life in the World
War. These films have already been shown in a children's series and
in a series of entertainments for foreign bom citizens.
The generous contributions of Mr. Edward E. Ayerto the ornitholog-
ical library and the pewter collection which bear his name and to the
general zoological library, were continued throughout the year, many
rare and valuable additions being made.
A collection of 160 rhinoceros-horn libation cups was presented by
Mr. John J. Mitchell through the instrumentality of Mr. Ayer. These
cups are of particular interest because of the former belief that cups
made of this material neutralized poison and rendered the drinker safe
from assassination in that manner.
Mr. William J. Chalmers continued his annuity for the upkeep and
growth of the William J. Chalmers Crystal Collection.
A collection containing 38,731 eggs has been deposited with the
Museum by Judge R. Magoon Barnes, Assistant Curator of Oology.
Judge Barnes will continue to share responsibility with the Museum for
the growth and care of this collection during his lifetime, after which
it will pass into the sole ownership of the Museum.
The first use of the fund provided by Mr. Julius Rosenwald and
Mrs. Augusta N. Rosenwald was to defray the expenses of an ethno-
logical expedition among the Sauk, Fox, Winnebago and Potawatomi
Indians. Mr. M. G. Chandler who undertook this expedition, secured
many valuable specimens, reference to which is made elsewhere.
The membership campaign has continued to be effective; a con-
siderable portion of the greatly increased membership being attributable
to the growth in the Museum's activities.
The additions to the staff during the year included the appointment
of Dr. A. L. Kroeber as Research Associate in American Archeology,
396 Field Museum of Natuil\l History — Reports, Vol. VI.
the appointment of Mr. Sharat K. Roy as Assistant Curator in Inver-
tebrate Paleontology and the employment of a third guide-lecturer.
The resignations of Miss Helen C. Gunsaulus, Assistant Curator of
Japanese Ethnology, and Mr. Charles L. Owen, Assistant Curator of
Archeology-, are announced.
In appreciation of their valuable ser\'ices to science: Mr. Chauncey
Keep, Mr. Richard T. Crane, Jr., Mr. Julius Rosenwald and Mrs.
Augusta N. Rosenwald were elected Honorary Members of the Museum;
Mr. Silas H. Strawn. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, Mr. Kermit Roosevelt
and Mr. Frederick C. Hack were elected Patrons of the Mu.seum.
Maintenance and improvement in the Museum building received
their proper attention during the year. Among the improvements may
be mentioned the construction of improved cases for the storage of
specimens in various departments and the covering of the skylights in
the Department of Botany Library and in the Edward E. Ayer Library.
Thirty-four new exhibition cases were built and installed. New book-
shelves and other library furniture were installed in the Department of
Anthropology Library. Twenty-four large curtain walls were built and
installed in the zoological exhibition halls. Iron railing was built
around a number of exhibits, 420 feet of railing being installed.
Grateful acknowledgement is made to the Clyde W. Riley Adver-
tising System for the use during the year of a page in the programs of
the theatres of Chicago, and to the transportation companies for the
exhibition of posters.

Museum thirty-four historical motion pictures totaling one hundred
reels. At present, fifteen subjects have been made and are lodged in the
Museum's vaults. The others will follow as soon as they are released
by the Yale University Press. The ownership of these films made it
possible for the Museum, with the cooperation of the Citizenship Com-
mittee of the Chicago Council of Social Agencies, to join definitely in
Chicago's Americanization work; and it did so by arranging two series
of American history motion pictures which were shown in the James
Simpson Theatre on Sunday afternoons throughout the Autumn. Fol-
lowing is the program for the first course:

"Jamestown."
September 27 — "The Pilgrims."

courses proved most popular, capacity audiences attending them.
Entertainments for Children. — Two series of entertainments for
children were given in the James Simpson Theatre. The Spring course
was composed of a series of motion pictures on natural history, travel
and industries, viith one lecture and one introductory talk as special
events. The Autumn course combined the Chronicles of America
Photoplay's (see Americanization Programs) with natural history sub-
jects in a series of fourteen programs. In connection with both courses,
Museum Stories for Children were prepared by the guide-lecturers and
distributed at each entertainment. Twenty-three stories in editions of
from 2000 to 3000 each were so distributed and many additional copies
were used as reference material in the schools. Capacity audiences
attended the entertainments, the programs for which follow :
February 28 — 10:30 a.m. A lecture: "Wild Animals Near Home."
Dr. G. Clyde Fisher, American Museum of Natural
History, New York City.

LIBRARY
The total number of books and pamphlets in all departments of the
Library at the close of the year was approximately eighty-seven thou-
sand. The total number of accessions for the year was two thousand,
four hundred and forty-one.
The additions to the Library have been largely through gifts and
exchanges. Purchases of books were influenced by the needs of the
work in hand in the various departments. The exchanges of the year
have been gratifjdng. A nimiber of foreign institutions have sent their
publications to assist in filling in or completing their files or have sent

special publications that were issued during or since the war. Individual
contributors both at home and abroad have continued to show their
interest by sending contributions.
The niunber of Publications and Leaflets distributed by the Museum
during the year has had a stimulating effect on the exchange list. Pub-
lications have been received from seven hundred and eight individuals
and institutions.
The search for ornithological literature has been continued until it
has narrowed down to rare desiderata. The result of this year's search
has been very satisfactory as it has brought many valuable and rare
works to enrich the Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library. In all Mr.
Ayer has presented this year six hundred and thirty-eight volumes.

The catalogue of the Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library that
has been in preparation for a couple of years is nearly ready for the
press. Originally this was planned to be simply a check list, though a
comprehensive and useftd one, but as the work progressed it has become
instead a bibHography that contains information and facts that will
make it for all time an indispensable manual to every student of orni-
thology.
The activities of the Library during the year were largely confined
to the usual routine work necessary to keep available the material in
the Library and the current accessions as they were received. There
were written and inserted in the various catalogues ten thousand two
hundred and eighty-one cards. From the John Crerar Library were re-
ceived and filed eight thousand seven hundred and fifty-four cards.
There were sent to the binder}' nine hundred and twenty-foiir volumes
of periodicals, serials and other unbound publications.
Owing to various conditions it had not been feasible hitherto to
make an inventory of the books in the departmental libraries since their
final reorganization but this past year an inventory was taken of the
anthropological, botanical and zoological libraries. This was necessarily
a slow process and consumed much time owing to the various changes
that had been made. The results were, however, quite satisfactory.
The need of more shelf room in the general library was met by the
addition of one stack. A rearrangement of the lighting system made in
the stacks has added much to their convenience as well as economy of
electricity. A built-in case for the sample backs used in binding was
also added.
The completion of the Union list of serials of the Hbraries of the
United States and Canada is anticipated as a valuable bibliographical
aid and the Library is sending in its list of periodicals to be incorporated
as the parts are issued.
Advantage has been taken of the inter-library loan service for books
needed by the staff. This service is of the greatest value to research
workers, making available as it does the resources of the libraries of
the coimtr}' under an arrangement whereby rare books may be borrowed
and lent w^ith insured safety. Acknowledgment of indebtedness is made
to the libraries from which books have been borrowed during the year.
The Library has been able to reciprocate with loans to other institutions.

DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING
AND LABELING
Anthropology. — The work of cataloguing in the Department of
Anthropology has been continued as usual during the current year, the
number of catalogue cards prepared totaling 4,389. These cards are
distributed geographically as follows for the accessions received during
the year: South American and Mexican archaeology and ethnology,
2,103; North American archaeology and ethnology, 864; Australia and
Africa, 39; Egypt, 3; Melanesia, 27; Micronesia, 7; Polynesia, 157;
Europe, 58; China, 165; Japan, 8; Borneo and Java, 115; India and
Siam, 3; Ayer pewter collection, 81; total, 3,630. The following cards
were prepared this year for accessions received pre\'ious to 1925:
South American archaeology and ethnology, 5 ; North American archae-
ology and ethnology, 83; Africa, 7; Egypt, 4; Polynesia, 5; Europe, 30;
Japan, 22; Korea, i; China, 489; Persia and India, 10; Federated
Malay States, 86; Ayer pewter collection, 17; total, 759. The total
nimiber of cards prepared was 4,389. Of these cards, 2,389, with the
addition of 407 cards for the Arthur B. Jones collection, have been
entered in the inventory books of the Department which now number
44, making a total of 2,796 cards entered. The ntimber of annual acces-
sions amounts to 84, 64 of which have been entered. Twenty-three
accessions from previous years were also entered. The total number of
catalogue cards entered from theopening of the first voiimie is 166,685.
Several thousand labels for use in exhibition cases were prepared
and installed during the year, the nimiber of labels suppHed by the
printer totaling 5,100. These labels are distributed as follows: Poly-
nesia, 3,272; China, 1,023; Malaysia (Arthur B. Jones collection),
305; Ayer pewter collection, 237; Stanley Field Hall, 129; American
Indians, 102; Egypt, 32; total 5,100.
The Department was supplied with 8,490 catalogue cards and 150
maps for the cases in the new Pol^mesian Hall. One hundred and
forty-one label cards were prepared and added to the label-file. Three
hundred and one photographs were added to the departmental albums,
and one new album for New Zealand was started.
Botany. — In the Department of Botany catalogue, 3,173 entries
were made during the year, bringing the total number of catalogue
volumes to 63 and the catalogued specimens in the department to
553.249- The entries added to the department card index to collectors
number 34, and to the index of geographic localities, 11. About 120
cards were added to the catalogue of plant names.
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 409
About 4,000 new genus covers were pro\'ided, one-half of these for
the Illinois Herbarium in connection with its complete reorganization,
some himdreds for fungi and the rest for new additions to the main
herbarium of flowering plants.
Descriptive labels were written during the year for additions to the
exhibits in the Hall of Plant Life and various old labels were revised.
For the plant economic exhibits labels were prepared for the cane and
beet sugar exhibits, for the miscellaneous collection of sugars and for
the re\dsed wood distillation products.
Geology. — The total number of new catalogue entries for the year
was 8,706. The majority of these were of invertebrate fossils of the
Borden collection, the cataloguing of which is still in progress. All new
accessions received during the year have been catalogued, except the
collections of the Captain Marshall Field paleontological expeditions in
Argentina and Bolivia of which 434 specimens have been recorded.
Cataloguing of the Borden collection of invertebrate fossils per-
formed during the year has involved examining a total of 9,621 speci-
mens, of which 7,778 have been identified and labeled, and 1,843 o^
previous entry have been checked and labeled. During this work 25
undescribed species have been discovered and the high quality of the
collection confirmed. The specimens received from the South American
paleontological expeditions have all been unpacked, grouped according
to species and placed in trays.
A complete catalogue of the Department series of lantern sHdes was
prepared and the slides then transferred to the General Files. The total
number of slides so catalogued was 1,774. The slides were grouped
geographically, labels were provided where they were lacking and any
needed repairs on individual slides were made.
The miscellaneous collection of large maps, numbering no, was
classified and catalogued. The maps were then arranged in drawers in
such a way as to make them readily available for reference. With 303
of the topographic maps of the United States Geological Survey there
were filed brief labels descriptive of the topographic features shown.
Eighty-six additional maps of this series were received dtuing the year,
making a total of 2,993 U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps now
on hand. All are filed alphabetically by sheets and grouped according
to the states.
The smaller specimens of meteorites, 611 in nimiber, not suited for
exhibition were placed in trays, arranged in alphabetical order and the
labeling of each checked.
4IO Field Museum op Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
Sixteen trays were provided for the card catalogue of the Depart-
ment library and the catalogue, numbering 4,665 cards, was transferred
to them. To the Department photograph albums 554 prints were added
during the year, making a total of 4,970 prints in these albums. All
except the latest of these are fully labeled. The prints added were
chiefly of photographs made by the Captain Marshall Field Expeditions
to Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil.
A total of 64^ labels was written during the year. These included
descriptive labels written for the series of blast furnace models, the
cement plant model and for some of the exhibits in Stanley Field Hall.
The shorter labels were chiefly for newly installed specimens of crystals,
gems, fossils and ores. There were received from the printing depart-
ment 590 labels.
Zoology. — Regular cataloguing of zoological specimens proceeded
at an increased rate. The total number of regular entries was 6,104
as against 3,782 the preceding year. They were distributed as follows:
Mammals, 1,477; Birds, 10; Reptiles and Amphibians, 1,535; Fishes,
3,042; Insects, 10. Additional card entries in the index catalogues of
mammals and of reptiles nimibered 2,906, making the total of all entries
for the year 8,985.
In the division of mammals, about one thousand specimens have
been labeled, these being largely from the Peruvian collections of 1922-
23. All skulls of the Chilean collection have been numbered and, when
identified, have also been labeled. Reptiles and amphibians, for the
most part, have been identified, labeled, and shelved. Exhibition labels
were prepared for all new exhibits and about 300 labels were printed
to replace old ones in the systematic exhibit of fishes in order to make
the labeling in this exhibit uniform throughout.
Photographic prints in the Department of Zoology, which have
received little attention for some years, were subjected to rearrangement
and classification. The departmental albums now contain 6,554 prints
of which 519 were mounted during 1925 and 1026 were labeled with
data as to svibject, locality and source.

ACCESvSIONS
Anthropology. — The new accessions received during the year by
the Department of Anthropology amount to 84, the highest nimiber of
accessions ever recorded in any year. Of these 65 are by gift, 3 as the
result of Museum expeditions, 9 by exchange and 7 by purchase. These
accessions aggregate a total of 8,037 objects, and many are of great
value and importance.
Among the treasures brought back from Egypt by Professor Breasted,
the granite statue of Senmut, an architect of the fifteenth century B.C.,
occupies the first rank. The statue, presented by Mr. Ernest R. Graham,
is a Httle under one-third life-size. The famous architect was the guardian
of the young princess whom he tenderly carries in his arms. This princess
was the daughter of the celebrated Queen Hatshepsut, the first great
woman recorded in history. There are three inscriptions on the statue :
one of six lines on the front; another, of three lines on the base; and a
third, of one line on the plinth behind. According to the six-line inscrip-
tion on the front of the architect's garment, the statue was presented
to him as a token of favor from the Queen herself, and is therefore the
work of a royal sculptor. Senmut was the builder of the magnificent
temple of Deir-el-Bahri, close by the tomb of Tutenkhamen, and erected
the obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut. The Queen whom he served was an
able politician, and he was one of the leaders of the coterie which she
gathered about her. Eventually, however, the whole group fell, includ-
ing the Queen, and our architect's name was cut out wherever it ap-
peared on the monuments of Egypt. It is interesting to note that his
name is also effaced on this statue, though there are several places where
it is still unmistakable. This, according to Professor Breasted, goes to
show that our statue once stood in a public place, and circumstances
warrant the conviction that this place could only be the great Kamak
temple. This sculpture, therefore, with its inscriptions, is one of para-
mount historical interest and importance. The Museum, further, se-
cured through Professor Breasted a bronze sistrum and nine excellent
bronze statuettes as follows: torso of Taharka, the standing figure of a
king of the Middle Kingdom, a royal standing figure with face damas-
keened in gold, a seated figure of the goddess Isis, a superb Horus Bird
with golden eyes, a standing figure of Nefertem, a standing figure of the
Moon-god, a Scorpion goddess, and a sitting figure of Imhotep, the
father of architecture in stone masonry, holding an open papyrus roll
in his lap. Although the last is only four inches in height, it is a very
remarkable portrait statuette of great artistic quality. The granite
statue and bronzes, together with a collection of 154 beautiful alabaster
412 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
vases and bowls, were presented to the Museum by Mr. Ernest R.
Graham. A magnificent collection of 580 ancient Egyptian and Coptic
textiles discovered in tombs and likewise selected by Professor Breasted
in Egypt was presented by President Stanley Field. Professor P. E.
Newberry, the English expert in textiles, regards this as the best collec-
tion of ancient textiles outside the South Kensington Museum of
London. It consists not only of numerous panels, medallions, and
borders with woven and embroidered designs, but also of complete linen
garments in a wonderful state of preservation. It includes a rug (35 x 27
inches) with a heavy nap, decorated with geometric designs in red, blue,
green and yellow, according to Professor Breasted, the oldest woven rug
in existence (about 200 B.C.).
An oil-painting (6x8 feet) representing the Rock Temple at Aboo
Simbel, Egypt, and painted in 1874 by Andrew McCallum, has been
presented by Mr. Thomas S. Hughes, a well-known art-dealer and
connoisseiu- of Chicago. This is a very instructive picture of great
archaeological interest. The temple of Aboo Simbel hewn out of the
solid rock, with a front 119 feet wide and over a hundred feet high, is
one of the marvels of ancient Egyptian architecture, and was built by
Ramses II (1292-25 B.C.). The four gigantic statues which adorn the
facade, each being 65 feet in height, represent the king himself and are
excellent portraits of him. There are also smaller figures representing
members of his family, as his mother, wife and two of his daughters.
Andrew McCallum was a noted landscapist whose work attracted the
favorable notice of Queen Victoria. He was bom at Nottingham,
England, in 1828, studied in Paris and Italy, became director of the
Manchester School of Art, and died in 1902. The gilt frame of the
painting is carved with designs of Egyptian style. Mr. Hughes also
presented two very interesting wooden statuettes, one from China and
one from Burma, which had been obtained by Sir Thomas Marion
Wilson on his travels in 1875.
A notable acquisition of great interest is represented by an extensive
collection illustrating the culture of a large group of Negro tribes who
belong to the western Bantu and inhabit the territory of Cameroon
on the west coast of central Africa. This culture area is distinguished
by a high development of the industrial arts, particularly in wood and
ivory carving, weaving and knitting, beadwork, iron forging and metal
casting, and shows the ability of the Negro at its best. In this respect,
Cameroon culture displays many affinities with the ancient art of Benin,
which is well represented by many good examples in the Museum, and
with that of the Sudan. For this reason this new collection connects

Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 413
well with the Museiim's former acquisitions from Africa exhibited in
the West Gallery. There is, however, a remarkable difference between
this and the older collections : the latter were more or less haphazardly-
brought together, chiefly by way of exchanges, while the new collection,
made with intelligence and good judgment, is very comprehensive and
affords an accurate and complete view of a well defined culture area. It
consists of about two thousand objects of a great variety, most of them
old, all of superior workmanship and in a good state of preservation, well
determined according to locality and tribe. Three complete figures of
dancers — a warrior with mask, knitted suit, shield and spear, one clad
with feather dress and mask, and another with a beaded head-dress in
shape of a lizard — are especially noteworthy. There are two well-carved
wooden beds; two large old wooden drtmis with splendid carvings, the
property of once powerful chieftains ; about a himdred sculptured wooden
images, and many excellent carved masks, door-posts, and house-posts.
Clothing; weapons like bows, crossbows, poisoned arrows, swords,
daggers, axes, spears, clubs, shields and fire-arms; baskets, bags, mats,
pottery, knives, implements, tools, harness, fishing appliances, orna-
ments and musical instruments including fine signal-drirais, are fully
represented. The most remarkable achievements of this Bantu culture
are bracelets carved from elephant's ivory and complete elephant's
tusks carved all over and serving as signal-horns; chieftain's seats of
wood gorgeously decorated with colored glass beads; picturesquely
beaded calabashes of enormous size, for palm-wine ; beaded head-dresses
and other articles of clothing for ceremonial dances; also huge tobacco-
pipes of clay, wood, and bronze. The bronze castings of these tribes
rival those of Benin, and their wood-carvings are probably the best
made in Africa. Many of the latter are portions of chieftain's houses,
as door and window frames. About six hundred good negatives taken
in Cameroon over twenty years ago and representing scenery, villages,
and types of natives accompany the collection. Combined with the
former acquisitions from Africa, it will form the nucleus of a new
African Hall to be installed during the coming year in Hall D on the
ground floor.
As a further result of the excavations at Kish a very interesting col-
lection of over seven himdred objects was received this year. These
include 362 pottery vessels, nimierous stone, shell, bone and metal
objects, beads, seals, and cups of ostrich-egg shell.
A fine mat from India, woven from ivory threads (6x3 feet), formerly
the property of the late Charles B. Cory, Curator of Zoology in the
Museiim, was acquired through an exchange with his son.
414 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VL
Mr. Edward E. Ayer added seventy-five pieces to his collection of
439 pewters, thus swelling the total to 514 objects. Prominent among
these new acquisitions are large Chinese tea-jars and trays of the
Ming period (1368- 1643) decorated with inlays of figures and orna-
ments in brass, an octagonal Ming tea-pot, each panel inlaid with a
mythological figure in brass and copper, two puzzle wine-pots in shape
of peaches made by Shen Chen-chou, a famed pewterer of the Kien-lung
period (1736-95), candlesticks, colored figures, censers, boxes, tea-
caddies, and an old English porringer with two flanges decorated with
palmetto designs. Mrs. Edward E. Ayer presented a decanter with a
set of four glasses trimmed with elaborately decorated pewter.
Mrs. Homer J. Tillotson of Los Angeles presented for the Ayer collec-
tion a pewter chalice coated with a fine dark patina and unearthed in
17 15 on moorland in Chester, England. It was found embedded in old
masonry together with church manuscripts, books, and records, which
prestunably had formed the comer-stone of a chapel.
A very large collection of rhinoceros-horn cups from China was pre-
sented by Mr. John J. Mitchell of Chicago. The horn of the rhinoceros
was chiefly carved by the Chinese into drinking-cups. It was an ancient
belief that the rhinoceros devours with its food all sorts of vegetable
poisons and that its horn therefore was capable of neutralizing poison.
A cup carved from the horn was accordingly credited with the ability to
detect poison, and was regarded as an efficient antidote. The cups in
this collection range from the Ming (1368- 1643) to the Manchu dynasty,
and display a great variety of forms and designs. The natural conditions
of the horn are admirably adapted to the artist's intentions. In many
of these cups the shape and designs of ancient bronze and jade vessels
are skilfully reproduced; others assume the shape of lotus-leaves or
lotus-flowers, with admirable carvings in high and undercut reliefs.
The collection affords excellent material for a study of Chinese decora-
tive motives, as developed diu-ing the last five centuries.
Three ornamented tomb-bricks of the Han period, China, are the
gift of Miss Kate S. Buckingham, Chicago.
Two highly ornamented, so-called "Karen" bronze drums were pur-
chased of Dr. Joseph F. Rock, who had obtained them on his expedition
in Upper Siam in 1 920. This type of kettle-dnmi presents an interesting
archaeological problem, as it is widely distributed over a vast area of
southeastern Asia stretching from the Island of Hainan through southern
and western China into Upper Burma and Siam, the Malay Peninsula,
Java and other islands of the Malay Archipelago. The "Karen" dnrnis
made by the Shan of Upper Burma are decorated with figures of frogs.
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 415
in the same manner as the two drums of enormous size from southern
China obtained by the Captain Marshall Field Expedition to China in
1923. Together with the six bronze drums from Se-chwan Province in
Case 6, Hall 24, the Museum now owns ten of these drums.
A remarkable ethnographical collection from the Dayak of eastern
Dutch Borneo, comprising 143 objects, was presented by Dr. William
O. Krohn of Chicago, who had visited Borneo himself in 1924, with full
and interesting data. This collection is the more welcome, as it bears
on a group of Dayak tribes not visited by the Arthur B. Jones Expedition
and formerly not represented in the Museum. It comprises blow-pipes,
swords, spears, good old shields with fine painted designs, costumes,
hats, ornaments, wooden masks, mats, baskets, musical instruments,
games and toys. A small collection from the Dayak of Dutch Borneo,
chiefly consisting of articles of clothing and weapons, is the gift of Mr.
and Mrs. C. M. Worthington of Chicago.
Mrs. Dennis O'Keefe presented a dancing costume of dyed Hibiscus
bark fibers from Papeete, Tahiti, of beautiful color and workmanship and
unlike an}^hing that the Museiun previously had; a loin-cloth of tapa
from Suva, Fiji, and two pieces of tapa from Pagopago and Apia,
Samoa, stamped with interesting designs. Four pieces of Samoan bark-
cloth or tapa were donated by Mrs. William Larmer, Chicago. Much
valuable ethnographical material from Hawaii and the Marquesas
was obtained through exchange with the Bishop Museiun of Honolulu.
This collection includes stone hammers and adzes, poimders and lamps,
samples of tapa and implements used in preparing it, excellent wooden
bowls and platters, gourd bottles, whistles and rattles, shell implements,
tobacco-pipes, musical instniments, necklaces, Pandanus mats, pillows,
and fans, fishing implements and feather work. Among the objects from
the Marquesas is a large wooden image which Dr. Linton had obtained
while exploring the islands on behalf of the Bishop Museimi. This was
an ancestral figure to which htmian sacrifices were made when rain was
desired or when cessation of rain was sought. All this material has been
utilized in completing the exhibits in the new Polynesian Hall.
Much material was gathered by the Captain Marshall Field Expedi-
tion to Peru under the leadership of Dr. A. L. Kroeber: 658 pottery ves-
sels, 334 lots of pottery sherds, 28 figurines or dolls, 135 textiles, 115
implements for spinning and weaving, 70 other implements of wood
and cane, 27 objects of copper and 4 of silver, 29 objects of shell or
bone, 36 baskets and mats, 35 calabash vessels, 55 desiccated bodies ^ \
(so-called miimmies), mostly of children, 283 skulls and lots of bones,
107 miscellaneous objects including samples of maize and other food-

stuffs, cotton, wool, feathers, whistles, paint and plaster, stone, false
cloth faces of "mummies," aggregating a total of 1,971 objects. Many
pieces of pottery are distinguished by artistic quality, being decorated
with finely painted designs or fashioned in the shape of fruits. Dr.
Kroeber spent ten days in the Musevim in December, studying his col-
lection and preparing his report which will be published by the Museum
in 1926. The collection is already catalogued and ntmibered, and prep-
arations are being made for having a goodly portion of it installed
early in 1926.
Mr. Edward H. Thompson, to whom the Museiun owes a fine collec-
tion from the Maya, presented two large pearls found by him last sum-
mer in the sepulchre of the High Priest at Chichen Itza, Yucatan,
Mexico. These are believed to be the only pearls ever discovered in the
Maya area.
Mrs. Charles B. Cory presented man's and woman's costtmies from
the Seminole of Florida obtained by the late Curator Charles B. Cory
during his explorations in Florida in 1894, a record of which is pre-
served in his book "Hunting and Fishing in Florida" (Boston, 1896).
As a personal souvenir of Professor Cory and because the Museum
possesses little from the Seminole, this gift is much appreciated.
Mr. M. G. Chandler's expedition to the Central Algonlpan
tribes of the Chicago area, under the Rosenwald fund, resulted
in a collection of 320 objects representing clothing, mats, bags,
clubs, spoons, mortars, saddles, snowshoes, flutes, pipes, bundles and
other ceremonial objects of the Potawatomi, Menominee, Winnebago,
Misstassini and Chippewa. The most important specimens collected
among the Potawatomi tribe are ceremonial articles, including a Wabano
drum, a Medicine Lodge drum and quilled otter for the Medicine
Lodge with other medicine bags, and medicine slabs made of wood
and bearing designs representing herbs used as drugs. The most attrac-
tive articles for exhibition are those decorated with appliqu6 work. A
very fine series of these was obtained, including most of the techniques
and designs practised by these people in early days. This work re-
sembles quite closely that of the Miami tribe, the designs being much
smaller than those used by other tribes in this locality. These specimens
are far superior to any these people now wear at their ceremonies, and
evidently have been handed down as heirlooms for several generations.
Many were reluctant to part with these treasiires, fearing that the de-
signs might be lost for them. Among the Menominee, Mr. Chandler
obtained a rare conjurer's outfit consisting of a bag that contains a
mounted loon-head which can be so manipulated that it will rise out of
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 417
the bag, stare around at the spectators and then disappear. He also
secured the medicine which is said to improve the abiHty of the loon-
head to perform in this manner. The quilled otter and buckskin
leggings collected by him among the Winnebago, will serve to round
out the Museum collection from this tribe.
Mr. Homer E. Sargent of Pasadena, California, added 29 baskets
from the Indians of Arizona and California to his former very substantial
contributions in Indian baskets, and presented an exceedingly fine
Saltillo scrape (8x4 feet) decorated with geometric designs in red, blue,
and black on a white background, likewise a pair of snowshoes from the
Chippewa, an axe, a spear-head, and a dagger beaten out of a nugget of
native copper by Copper Center Joe, an Indian of the Aishihik tribe in
the Yukon Territory of Alaska, and reproducing exactly these copper
weapons as made in ancient times.
A buckskin skirt and apron, ornamented with abalone shells and
Chinese coins, of a Karok girl was presented by Miss G. Nicholson of
Pasadena, California. A gift of ten feather head-dresses of the Hupa,
California, was made by Mr. Edward E. Ayer.
Interesting collections of Crow and Cheyenne medicines and medicine
bundles were obtained through exchanges with Mr. W. Wildschut of
Billings, Montana, and Mr. M. G. Chandler, Chicago. A very important
collection from the Hopewell and other motmds of Ohio, amounting to
369 objects, was secured by exchange with the Ohio State Museum,
Coliunbus, Ohio. It includes celts, mica and obsidian objects, copper
ornaments, pipes, bone awls, and tools, and rounds out the Hopewell
collection of the Museimi very efficiently. Several fine bird stones, gor-
gets, and discoidals were received as the result of an exchange with
Mr. H. L. Johnson of Clarksville, Tennessee. Much interesting material
was obtained by way of exchange with the Logan Musetmi of Beloit
College, Beloit, Wisconsin, especially many prehistoric copper and
chipped flint implements and grooved stone axes trom Wisconsin, stone
celts from other parts of the United States, many implements from the
stone age of Denmark, a fine pottery vase from Chancay, Peru, and
another made by the Yuma of California.
A collection of clothing, weapons, and implements from the Copper
Eskimo living aroimd Coronation Gulf, Canada, was purchased of
Mr. John G. Worth, Philadelphia, and will make an interesting ad-
dition to the Eskimo exhibits in which this group was heretofore not
represented.
A miscellaneous archaeological and ethnographical collection, con-
sisting of 361 objects from all parts of the world, and formerly the prop-
41 8 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VL
erty of Mr. C. F. Gunther, a well-known Chicago collector, is the joint
presentation of President Stanley Field, Mr. Henry J. Patten, and Mr.
Charles B. Pike. The late George Manierre, trustee, presented a col-
lection of 281 objects, among these being interesting tobacco-pipes from
North America, Mexico, and Japan, numerous stone implements and
pieces of prehistoric pottery from Illinois, the Mississippi Valley and
other parts of North America, and baskets from California and obsidian
flakes from Mexico.
Botany. — Nearly 9,000 specimens, distributed among 57 acces-
sions, were added to the collections of the Department of Botany during
1925. Approximately 2,000 of these were received as gifts, 2,154 i^
exchange, and over 3,600 by purchase, while 1,215 were secured on
Museum expeditions. Although the greater portion of these collections
consists of herbarium material there are 627 specimens of economic or
exhibit interest, not including in this number a collection of woods
which contains 275 pieces.
The larger or more significant gifts of herbarium specimens include
a collection of Cycads from Professor C. J. Chamberlain, consisting of
23 species secured in various parts of the world by the donor and grown
by him in the conservatory at the University of Chicago. It comprises
the species upon which Dr. Chamberlain's well-known research has been
based and constitutes a notable addition to the herbarium. A collection
of North American plants, mostly from Illinois, by Mr. H. C. Benke is
especially representative of the grass and sedge flora of the Fox River
Valley and was obtained over a period of years, following the suggestion
of Dr. C. F. Millspaugh. Mr. Benke's exhaustive and discriminating
field-work has determined more definitely the ranges within the state
of many species, not a few of which he has recorded for the first time
from localities where they were not known to grow. His gift of 487
specimens dining 1925 will therefore be of particular value to students
of the local flora; and, as it also contains a quantity of interesting speci-
mens from many other states from Florida and Louisiana to Wisconsin,
and from California, it is one of the most welcome accessions of the
year. In addition to the carefully mounted material for the Museum
herbarium, there were 75 duplicates to be used for exchanges. Mr.
Benke also presented the Museum with 32 photographic plates and
prints, some of them hand colored, made by him in the city parks pur-
posely for the use of the Department of Botany. Another collection
of 300 flowering plants mostly from Arkansas was presented by Mr.
H. E. Wheeler. This is an excellent representation of the flora of that
state, includes many of the rarer species and augments most desirably
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 419
the Museum collection from Arkansas. Twenty-four photographs of
species of mints, unrepresented in the herbarium, were given to the
Museum by Dr. Carl Epling of the University of California, Southern
Branch. A set of 250 sheets of New Zealand ferns were received from
Mr. S. W. Weis and added to the Museum's growing fern herbarium.
Mrs. Annie Nethercote contributed 300 European and American speci-
mens, collected by her during various sojourns abroad and on
trips in the United States, which were found to contain a num-
ber of plants representative of interesting localities. Mr. D. C.
Peattie contributed a set of 121 selected plants from the dune region
of Indiana, on the flora of which the donor is an authority. The
Musetun's representation of the plants of the region thereby becomes
nearly complete.
The more important accessions of economic specimens include a
gift from the Com Products Refining Company of samples of all of their
more recently developed products not included in the series of com
products presented by them several years ago. These will be added to
the food products shown in the plant economic exhibits.
A large collection of woods, American and foreign, was presented
by Mr. R. R. Stone of Chicago. Among the specimens are many highly
desirable additions to the reference and exhibit collections.
Two fine sections of Quebracho wood from Argentina were received
as a gift from the Tannin Extract Company of Brooklyn.
Other gifts during the year were: i specimen of tobacco captured
by Confederate General Gillon near Russellville, Tenn., from Mr. J. A.
Andrews, Chicago; i herbariiun specimen of the Fox Grape, Indiana,
from the Honorable J. R. Churchill, Boston, Mass.; 2 specimens
of palms, Florida, from Dr. B. E. Dahlgren, Chicago; 6 specimens
of wood distillation products from Florida Wood Products Company,
Jacksonville, Florida; 2 herbarium specimens of mosses, Washington,
from Mr. Julius Friesser, Chicago; i specimen showing the destruc-
tive work of ants on wood from Mr. J. P. Hallberg, Winegar, Wis-
consin; I Hchen, Arctic Region, from Mr. Alfred S. Johnson, Chicago;
4 herbarium specimens, Illinois, from Mr. J. F. Macbride, Chicago;
I herbarium specimen of Coronilla varia L., Michigan, from Mr. James
McCurragh, Portage Point, Onekawna, Mich. ; i herbarium specimen
of Amyris elemifera L., the timber tree called "Melon," Central America,
from Dr. S. A. Padilla, Salvador, Central America; i grass specimen,
Illinois, from Mr. James H. Palmer, Chicago; i specimen of the
rare Zaccagnia, Argentina, from Dr. J. N. Rose, Washington, D. C;
4 herbarixmi specimens of Bidens, Costa Rica and Brazil, from Dr. E. E.
420 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
Sherff, Chicago; i fungus specimen, Minnesota, from Dr. M. S.
Whetstone, Minneapolis, Minn.
The accessions accredited to expeditions are as follows:
As a resiilt of the collecting by A. C. Persaud in British Guiana, pro-
vided for imder the Captain Marshall Field Expedition Fund, there
were received early in the year specimens of woods from the upper
Demerara River country'- accompanied by 51 herbarium specimens
pertaining thereto, together with duplicate sets of these for distribution.
The collections made by Dr. A. Weberbauer during six weeks early
in 1925, also under the Captain Marshall Field Fimd, totaled 254 collec-
tion numbers comprising over 1,000 specimens. Many of these are
now being determined by specialists in certain plant groups and pre-
liminary reports indicate that this material is a most important addition
to the Museum's rich Peruvian herbariimi.
Although not included in the accessions for 1925 (the material not
having been received) mention may be made here of the botanical
work during this year in Peru and Chile of Dr. F. W. Pennell of The
Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia to which the Museum
contributed from the Captain Marshall Field Fund. Dr. Pennell was
unusually successful, securing 2,620 numbers or about 10,000 specimens.
Of the great amount of desirable material received in exchange from
other institutions special mention can be made only of the larger collec-
tions; for example, 181 sheets from Pomona College, Claremont, Cali-
fornia, sent through Dr. P. A. Munz; 90 specimens from the University
of California, Southern Branch, through the coiurtesy of Dr. Carl
Epling; 1089 specimens from the U. S. National Museiim, communicated
by Dr. W. R. Maxon and his associates; 142 specimens from the United
States Department of Agriculture; 500 specimens from the Hungarian
National Museiun of Budapest and 151 from Professor Arthur de
Jaczewski. All of these sets contain plants not before represented in the
herbarium. One herbariimi specimen from Peru was also received in
exchange from the Missouri Botanical Garden.
Most of the purchased collections were of interest either as coming
from parts of the world imperfectly known botanically or from regions
inadequately represented in the herbariimi. Among the former may
be mentioned two lots by Mr. Jose Steinbach from Bolivia; 90 from
Salvador, collected by Professor Salvador Calderon, and containing
many interesting types of the flora of Central America; 300 Chilian
plants from Dr. E. Werdermann of Santiago, mostly representative of
the coastal flora of that country and of exceptional interest to American
botanists because of the points of similarity between the vegetation of
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 421
Chile and the western United States; Mr. W. E. Broadway furnished a
collection of 638 items from Trinidad, of which 43 were wood specimens
and 1 12 fruits and seeds. Among the latter were a series of 350 Arizona
specimens bought from Professor H. C. Hanson of the University of
Nebraska; a set of 226 collected in Sweden and Norway and another of
203 in Mexico, both purchased from Mr. G. L. Fischer of Houston,
Texas; and a collection of 231 sheets of New England plants obtained
from Mr. C. H. Knowlton of Hingham, Massachusetts. A purchase of
economic material consisted of an admirable lot of seeds illustrating
500 weed seeds, each contained in a glass vial and carefully labeled. It
was sectu-ed from the collector, Mr. R. H. Greer of Western Springs,
111.
The remaining purchases were of crj'-ptogamic plants: American
lichens from Dr. G. K. Merrill of Rockland, Maine; Jaap Ftmgi Exsic-
cati from South America bought from Mr. T. O. Weigel, Leipzig, in
continuation of the subscription by Dr. E. T. Harper whose great col-
lection of fungi was given to the Museimi. Particularly valuable is a
series of 142 algae from Barbados, secured from Miss Mary H. Shaw,
41 Mercers Road, Tufnell Park, London.
Geology. — Through the continued interest and generosity of Mr.
William J. Chalmers, 109 specimens of rare, crystalhzed minerals, all
of occurrences or species entirely new to the collection, were received
by gift. These specimens included gem minerals from Brazil, among
which were blue, red and green tourmalines, euclase and topaz; a full
series of the rare raditim minerals curite, soddite, slodowskite etc., from
Africa; the largest known crystal of monazite; specimens of the rare
species ferrierite and foshagite and a number of unusual occurrences
from European localities. Three cut diamonds of different colors, each
weighing about .3 carats, from the mines of the Ozark Diamond Mining
Co., Murfreesboro, Arkansas, were presented by Mr. Howard A.
Millar. From the same donor and Mr. Austin Q. Millar, there were
received 21 specimens of the rocks and minerals associated with the
diamonds of that locality. Mr. H. E. Wheeler gave a series of sixty
specimens of the minerals of Magnet Cove, Arkansas. A large variety
of crystals of brookite, rutile and schorlomite was included in this col-
lection as well as a nimiber of the unique minerals and rocks of this
localit3^
An excellent specimen of one of the trees which grew in the Carbon-
iferous period and formed coal beds was received by gift from Mr.
Walter G. Zoller. The specimen shows a complete section across the
422 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
trunk of a Carboniferous tree 28 inches in diameter and with spreading
roots at the base. It was obtained from the Zeigler No. i coal mine at
Zeigler, Illinois, and was collected with such care that many of the
surface details are preserved. A cast showing a nest of fossil dinosaur
eggs from Mongolia was presented by the American Museum of Natural
History. Casts of skulls of the reptile, Protoceratops, and of the large
carnivorous mammal, Andre wsarchus, from Mongolia, and of the skull
and limbs of the early horse, Pliohippus, from a United States locality
were donated by the same institution. A number of specimens of
fossil corals, most of them polished, were received. Of these, fifteen
specimens from Michigan were presented by Mrs. Mary S. Perry and
eleven specimens from Iowa by Mr. John Davis. Two poHshed slabs of
Ozora marble of the size adopted as standard for the Museum collection
were presented by the Ozora Marble Quarries Co. The Sail Mountain
Co. gave eleven specimens of the various asbestos products which they
manufacture from the crude material, specimens of which had pre-
viously been received. The Illinois Clay Products Co. gave six speci-
mens of their products and related materials. The Banner Rock
Products Co. gave five specimens illustrating a rock wool and some of
the fabrics made from it, which they manufacture. This "wool" is
unique in being made from limestone. Another economic specimen of
interest received by gift was a large mass of the historic gold-bearing
black quartz of Calaveras County, California. This was presented by
Mr. John G. Elliott. Mr. Julius W. Butler presented 38 specimens of
ores and minerals including a fine specimen of chalcedony, from
previously unrepresented localities in Montana and Idaho. Two
interesting additions to the collection of concretions received by gift
were four hematite concretions from North Carolina presented by
Mr. Charles B. Cory and ten specimens of the typical claystones of the
Connecticut Valley given by Mr. Felix E. Mittau. A specimen of a
new individual of the Bingara, Australia, meteorite was presented by
Prof. George W. Card of Sydney, AustraHa. All remaining specimens
which had not previously been received of the collections of the Captain
Marshall Field Paleontological Expedition to Argentina and Bolivia
arrived during the year. The consignment totaled 43 boxes,
containing chiefly collections made in Bolivia.
Specimens of several meteorite falls new to the Museum collections
were added by exchange. These included three individuals of the
Johnstown, Colorado, fall obtained from the Colorado Museum of
Natural History; from Harvard University a full-sized section of the
New Baltimore, Pennsvlvania, meteorite and from individuals, repre-
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 423
sentative specimens of the Tucson-Carlton, Arizona, and Olivenza,
Spain, meteorites. Specimens of several Brazilian minerals, including
the very rare species tripuhyite, were obtained by exchange with Dr.
Jorge Ferraz of Rio de Janeiro. Some specimens of cut gem stones not
hitherto represented in the gem collection were procured by purchase.
These included 5 cut blue zircons, 2 Australian opals, 6 variously
colored "tiger-eyes" and 7 unakites. Ten of the Gilmore restorations
of extinct dinosaurs and other reptiles were purchased. These restora-
tions, on a scale from 1/30 to 1/6 of the natural size of the animals,
give presimiably accurate representation of the living aspect of
these strange creatures. A partially complete skeleton, including a
fine skull and jaws, nearly complete limbs and some other bones of the
extinct American horse, Equus scotti, from Texas, was also purchased.
Zoology. — Zoological specimens were accessioned to the number of
11,479. They are divided as follows: Mammals, 613; birds, 1,238;
birds' eggs, 5; reptiles and amphibians, 1,710; fishes, 1,586; insects,
4,377; shells and other invertebrates, 1,952. Large collections obtained
by several expeditions in 1925, notably the African and Asiatic expedi-
tions, have not yet been received. Of the total accessions, therefore,
only 1,361, are to be credited to museum expeditions.
An important gift of mammals for the year was the pair of famous
man-eating lions, which were purchased and presented by President
Stanley Field. Other gifts included 40 small mammals from Alaska,
presented through Mr. H. B. Conover and comprising a nimiber of
species new to the Museum. Mammals purchased were mainly from
South America, 124 from Chile, 89 from Brazil, and 17 from Bolivia.
Among them was a well prepared skin and skeleton of the Giant Arma-
dillo, an animal of striking character, so much larger than other modem
armadillos as to suggest some of their extinct relatives. From expedi-
tions, 196 mammals were received from Central Africa, 5 from Asia,
and 17 from British Colimibia.
In the division of birds, 940 specimens were purchased, 224 were
received from expeditions, 63 by gift, and 11 by exchange. Of those
purchased, over six hundred were from eastern Brazil, in the states of
Maranhao, Ceara, and Piauhy in what is omithologically perhaps the
least known part of South America. Besides specimens from South
America, birds were received also from the United States, Canada,
Honduras, Formosa, Japan, India, Congo, and Austria.
Of the 1,710 reptiles and amphibians received, 939, or more than half,
were obtained through exchange. From the American Museum of
424 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
Natural History 691 specimens were added to the collections in partial
exchange for the preparation of scientific reports on the reptiles and
amphibians of the Third Asiatic Expedition. Other exchanges of
reptiles were 'conducted with the University of Oklahoma, the Museum
of Comparative Zoology, the Zoological Society of San Diego, the New
York State Museum, and Mr. L. S. Frierson, Jr. Gifts of reptiles included
69 specimens from Negritos, Peru, presented by Mr. Axel A. Olsson; 52
specimens from Louisiana by Mr. L. S. Frierson, Jr.; 41 from South
Dakota by Prof. L. Alfred Mannhardt; 43 from Wisconsin by Mr. F. J.
W. Schmidt; and 24 from California by Mr. L. M. Klauber.
Accessions in the division of fishes include 730 specimens by gift,
372 from Museimi expeditions, 348 by exchange and 136 by purchase.
As in former years, contributions from the Lincoln Park Aquarium were
important and valuable. Three lots were received from this source dur-
ing the year, 198 specimens in all. Among them were several species
not otherwise represented in the Museum and some, received in fine
condition, were mounted for exhibition. Other donations of fishes
were received from Mr. Hans Krueger of Spooner, Wisconsin, Mr.
Gustav Mann of Chicago, and Mr. Julius Friesser of Chicago. An ex-
change with the United States National Museum resulted in the acquisi-
tion of 326 specimens from the republic of Salvador and another with
the University of Michigan, although of only 22 specimens, in-
cluded paratypes of several recently described species. Some 200
specimens of fishes collected incidentally by Mr. L. L. Walters on the
Captain Marshall Field expedition to Georgia formed a fiurther impor-
tant accession.
Most of the 4,377 insects accessioned were exotic species and all
were donations except 53 specimens obtained by Captain Marshall Field
expeditions. The largest and most valuable gift, received from Dr. B. E.
Dahlgren, consisted of 3,007 Guianan wasps and ants with 160 of their
nests. This acquisition was of special value because the nests of nearly
all the species were represented. Examples of insect architecture, on
account of the aggressive nature of most of the builders, are by no means
common in collections. Other gifts of insects include 392 butterflies,
moths, and beetles from Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Hellmayr; 359 Norwegian
insects from Dr. Sven Narbo; and 343 African butterflies and moths
from Major A. M. Collins. Prof. G. H. French of Herrin, Illinois, pre-
sented five types of butterflies and moths described during his long and
active career as a teacher and entomologist. Gifts of invertebrates,
other than insects, consisted mainly of a collection of 1,952 East Indian
shells donated by Mrs. W. J. Ammen of Chicago.

EXPEDITIONS
Anthropology. — The Museum maintained fotu- expeditions this
year in the interest of the Department of Anthropology.
The Field Museimi-Oxford University Joint Expedition to Kish,
Mesopotamia, resumed work October 15th, 1924, and continued its
operations without interruption imtil March 15th of this year. Mr.
Ernest Mackay, field director and excavator, was this season assisted
by Mr. Talbot Rice of Christ Church, Oxford; and Father Eric Burrows
S.J., an Ass3^riologist of Oxford, was sent out as a substitute for Professor
Langdon whose professorial duties prevented his absence from the uni-
versity. The work was concentrated on completing the excavation of
the early Sumerian palace partially excavated a year previously, and on
extensive research in the vast city ruins of eastern Kish, where remark-
able discoveries of omeiform tablets and objects illustrating the daily
life of the Babylonians of the time of Nebuchadnezzar had been
made early in 1924. A rich har\-est of beautiful copper utensils, gold
jewels and ornaments of precious stones rewarded the excavators in the
great Simierian palace. Copper mirrors and hairpins tipped with lapis-
lazuli knobs, as well as copper vanity cases containing manicure sets of
pincers, tongs and nail-files, together with paint dishes and remains of
brushes for coloring lips, cheeks and eyebrows, afford an intimate glimpse
into the boudoir of a Simierian lady. The excavations were suspended
temporarily to permit Mr. Mackay to do research-work in the Island of
Bahrein on behalf of Sir Flinders Petrie. Active operations were re-
sumed at Kish last October, and Professor Langdon has left for Baghdad
personally to take charge of the work which will be extended to a site
sixteen miles from Kish, where a very ancient settlement, now named
Bughatait, has been discovered. At this place painted pottery and clay
tablets inscribed in pictographic script were discovered during last
season. It is projected also to proceed now to excavate the great temple
of the mother goddess of Kish situated near the palace in eastern Kish,
called Harsagkalamma in the inscription recovered last year at the
Library IMoimd. Mr. Dudley Buxton, lecturer in physical anthropology
at the University of Oxford, and Mr. Henry Field are on their way to
Baghdad to join Professor Langdon. It is their intention to secure data
and photographs of the present inhabitants living aroimd Kish for cor-
relation with the skeletal material dug up diiring the last year.
In view of the universal interest of the public in the Museimi's work
at Kish and ninnerous inquiries received from all parts of the country
and abroad, the Director takes pleasure in annotmcing that the first re-
port of Mr. Mackay 's excavations of the cemetery "A" at Kish has been
426 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
published b}^ the Museum and is now available for distribution. He also
desires to call attention to Professor Langdon's book "Excavations at
Kish," Vol. I, published this year, copies of which are for sale at the
entrance of the Museum.
As Professor James H. Breasted of the University of Chicago visited
Egypt on behalf of the Oriental Institute of the University in the begin-
ning of the year, the Museiun availed itself of this opportunity and
asked for his co-operation in extending the Egyptian collections of the
Institution. Plans for the future development of the Egyptian Section
were discussed with Professor Breasted, and it was decided to increase
the collections at present along the line of statuary, alabasters, and
textiles. In accordance with this plan he secured for the Museum a
gi'anite statue of the architect Senmut, 9 fine bronze figtu-es, i rare
bronze sistnmi, 154 alabaster vases and bowls, and a magnificent collec-
tion of 580 Egyptian and Coptic textiles including many complete
garments and rugs.
Under the auspices of Captain Marshall Field, Dr. A. L. Kroeber,
professor of anthropology at the University of California, was entrusted
with an archaeological mission to Peru for the specific purpose of deter-
mining culture periods by means of stratigraphic methods. He arrived at
Lima January 20 and left Peru July i. The season and the quite excep-
tional weather conditions in February and March, resulting in swollen
rivers that remained high for months subsequently, practically dictated
a limitation of operations to the coast region. The area from Lima south
to Nazca, a stretch of 250 miles, was selected for excavations. It com-
prises ten consecutive coast valleys which are: Chillon, Lima, Chilca,
Mala, Asia, Canete, Chincha, Pisco, lea, and Nazca. Two of these
valleys. Mala and Asia, are wholly unexplored. Canete, the next
valley beyond them, which is considerably larger and richer, was also
found to be tinknown scientifically, although more or less rifled by pot-
hunters. Consequently his principal efforts were concentrated on this
valley at one site of which he succeeded in discovering a type of pottery
and culture new to science. It is a varied type of the wide-spread ancient
culture of Nazca. After some search he was fortunate in finding remains
of this culture stratified below the remains of the later, but likewise pre-
historic, Chincha culture. In the valley of Lim^ he also discovered a
stratification which proves definitely that the ctilture and pottery type
known as Proto-Lima is earlier than the Chancay and related cultures
which are most commonly found in and about Lima. These two stratifi-
cations bear on the history of the development of ancient Peruvian
civiHzation, and, inasmuch as only about four deposits of this kind
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 427
have been heretofore encountered or at least recorded, the discovery of
these two may be regarded as very fortunate and significant. One
northern valley, that of Trujillo, was briefly visited as a check and
balance on the work in the south. An interesting collection of 181 speci-
mens was secured there, containing several pieces of pottery of a new
type and suggesting the presence somewhere in northern Peru of a type
of ancient civilization which is still unknown. Dr. Kroeber states that
the archaeological exploration of Peru is much less complete than is
generally supposed ; not more than half of the coast and not more than
one-tenth of the interior are scientifically known. The available data
suffer from being disconnected. The greatest need is for exploration
which is systematic and continuous in regard to the areas covered. Dr.
Kroeber was aided in his work by the s>Tnpathetic co-operation of the
Peruvian Government and the active support of Dr. J. C. Tello, Director
of the Peruvian Museum of Archaeology. It is planned that Dr. Kroeber
will visit Peru again next summ.er on behalf of the Institution.
It is gratifying to report that an endowment made by Julius and }
Augusta N. Rosenwald has enabled the Department to resume work
among the North American Indians. Arrangements were made with
Mr. M. G. Chandler, who for many years lived among the central
Algonkian tribes, has an unusually intimate knowledge of their customs,
and by adoption is a member of the Potawatomi. This tribe once occu-
pied the site of Chicago, at the time of the first white settlement, and it
seemed desirable to gather and preserve as many relics as possible of
the Indians who formerly inhabited the Chicago vicinity, with a view
to forming an exhibit parallel to that of the mammals and wild flowers
of the Chicago region. During August, October and November, Chand-
ler visited the Potawatomi and the related tribes, as the Menominee,
Winnebago, Misstassini, and Sauk and Fox, widely scattered over Iowa,
Kansas, and Michigan; the use of an automobile permitted him to reach
many small detached and roaming groups of these Indians. He first
camped at Crow Settlement in the Menominee Reservation, where he
obtained a good Menominee collection, and then proceeded to the
Winnebago settlement near Wittenberg, where several good specimens
from that tribe were procured. A brief visit was paid to the Potawatomi
settlement to the northeast of the Menominee Reservation, but it
seemed advisable to proceed to Kansas for collecting Potawatomi ma-
terial. Before his departure Chandler attended two important cere-
monies of the Menominee, — a summer feast and a dream-drum cere-
mony. The summer feast is held by the pagan Menominee to keep up
the characteristic native games of the men and women. Among the
articles received from these people, and also later from the Potawatomi
428 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
are small bundles, called "Man's Business" and "Woman's Business."
The former contain at least a miniature La Crosse racket, but may also
include a miniature La Crosse ball, a miniature war-club, bows and
arrows, or even a small canoe. Offerings of tobacco are made to these
articles from time to time, for the purpose of obtaining success in games
or vocations. At this summer feast the games called " Man's Business"
and "Woman's Business" are played. In the morning La Crosse is
played by the men, and in the afternoon bow and counters by the
wom^en. The La Crosse racket bears a certain resemblance in outline to
a ball-headed war-club, the latter being the weapon carried by the
Thunders. The drum ceremony was held for a rather unusual purpose.
Four drums were set up within the dance enclosure with all the sacred
paraphernalia which go with each drum, and representatives of the
four dnmi societies were present. The purpose of the ceremony was to
notify the Winnebago of the intention of the Menominee to present
them with two of these drums. The drums were used successively by a
group of musicians who passed from dnmi to drum in a clockwise direc-
tion; that is, following the movement of the sun, from east to south, and
south to west, and west to north. At the close of the day speeches were
made to the visiting Winnebago, expressing the intention of the Meno-
minee to give them the two drums intended for them, the Winnebago
making return speeches. A trip was then made to the reservation near
Mayetta, Kansas. There Mr. Chandler was the guest of John Shaubena,
grandson of the original Shaubena who was chief of the Potawatomi,
Chippewa, and Ottawa during the Blackhawk War, at which time he
proved a valuable friend to the white settlers of the Chicago region. At
this reservation practically every family is from the vicinity of Chicago.
They were holding their annual fair, which includes parades and dancing
in costume. Many specimens were located, and those most interesting
were purchased. In October, he again went to Wisconsin, stopping at
various Winnebago camps. On his way there he made connection with
Potawatomi related to him by adoption, who daily offered specimens in
quantity and of a quality far superior to anything he had suspected them
of owning. The difficulty in this region was that the distances between
homes were so great and the country so wild that trails could not be
traversed by automobile, so that it was not possible to visit many
families in a day. He witnessed several meetings of the Medicine
Lodge held in an isolated spot in Forest County, Wisconsin, and,
though it is contrary to the rules of this organization to admit outsiders
to the lodge, an exception was made in his favor, and he was able to
take notes on the ceremony, which he hopes to write up later. The
ceremony resembles the Menominee and Ojibway rites more closely
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 429
than that of the Winnebago. The last move of the expedition was most
fruitful, as during this time the greatest quantity of rare Potawatomi
material was collected, which now places the Museum in possession of
a representative collection from this tribe.
Assistant Curator Linton left at the end of October for an ethnologi-
cal exploration of the island of Madagascar, where he is planning to
stay for about two years. During November he spent two weeks in
England, studying the Polynesian and Madagascar collections in the
British Aluseum of London, as well as in the museums of Cambridge
and Oxford. He proceeded to Paris, where he established connection
with French officials and institutions, and sailed December i6th from
Marseilles for Madagascar.
Botany. — The Captain Marshall Field Botanical Exploration in
Peru was continued during 1925 by Dr. A. Weberbauer. He collected
for six weeks in February and March in the Province of Moquegua
and the Department of Tacna, securing 242 numbers or over 1,000
specimens. His material is of great interest and has been organized
ready for determination. Upon completion of this, the largest duplicate
set still available is being sent to the Botanical Garden and Museum of
Berlin in accordance with the collector's stipulation. In this connection
it is very satisfactory to record that Dr. Diels, Director of the Garden
has generously offered the Field Museum as complete a set as possible
of essential portions of the Weberbauer botanical types collected before
the war, which are deposited at Berlin. Since these specimens are not
now available in this country this will be an acquisition of the greatest
value to American botanists studying western South American plants.
Another important addition to the herbarium of South American
plants will be a set of the collections made in 1925 in Peru and Chile
by Dr. F. W. Pennell under the joint auspices of The Academy of
Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, the Gray Herbariimi of Harvard
University, Mr. Oakes Ames (for the Ames Botanical Laboratory) and
the Field Museum of Natural History (under the Captain Marshall
Field Fimd) . His work in Peru, over a period of several months, centered
about Arequipa and Cuzco in southern Peru and about Canta, northeast
of Lima. In Chile he collected chiefly in the Cordillera near Santiago
and south as far as the island of Chiloe. He obtained 2,620 numbers or
about 10,000 specimens. In a preliminary report to the Director, Dr.
Pennell has stated: "If I may interpret the results by my success in
obtaining Scrophulariaceae, it is evident that the collections will con-
tain much that is new to science."
430 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
Mr. A. C. Persaud, who for some years had been collecting British
Guiana woods, early in the year was obliged by sickness to give up the
work which he was then carrying on along the Demerara River above
Wismar. News of his death in Georgetown on July 3 1 was received with
great regret. His reliable collections, accompanied with herbarium
specimens are unique among the department's accessions of woods from
tropical countries. It is only on the basis of such collections that the
knowledge of foreign woods can be systematically advanced.
Geology. — During the year the Captain Marshall Field Paleonto-
logical Expedition to Argentina disbanded temporarily after storing
the equipment. Some reconnaissance work was subsequently carried
on by Associate Curator Riggs along the southern coast of the
Province of Buenos Aires and westward in the Territory of Neoquen
with a view to planning future collecting. Two months were then
spent by Mr. Riggs in visiting European museums on the return
trip.
Summarizing the material collected by this expedition since its
entry into the field in the fall of 1922, it includes fossil mammals from
Eocene, Oligocene, and Miocene formations of southern Argentina
and from the Pleistocene formation of Bolivia, also fossil shells and
plants from the marine Oligocene and dinosaurs from the Upper
Cretaceous formation of Argentina. The Pleistocene fossil mammals
collected in Bolivia include skulls and partial skeletons of the
horse, Equus andeum, the short-legged, but horse-like Hippidium,
species of llamas and related animals, some of which approach
the modern camel in size; also skulls, jaws and tusks of
Mastodon of distinctly South American species. Along with these
immigrants from other continents were collected specimens of native
stocks, including skeletons of the ground sloth, Scelidotherium, and
skulls, jaws, legs and other parts of the greater ground sloths, Lestodon
and Megatherium. Carapaces and internal skeletons of the ponderous,
shell-covered glyptodonts, a skeleton of a smaller armadillo and parts
of the long-limbed, trunk-bearing Macrauchenia were also included.
From the Miocene clays and sandstones of southern Argentina there
were collected skulls and parts of various ground sloths smaller in size
but related to the great sloths of the Pleistocene; carapaces, skulls, legs
and other parts of the lesser glyptodonts and of the annadillos. Many
fine skulls and other parts of river-dwelling animals, ranging in size
from that of the tapir to that of the hippopotamus are included in the
collection. They belong to the genera of Adinotherium, Homalodonto-
therium, Nesodon and Astrapotherium. Numerous skulls, legs, feet and

Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 431
a few complete skeletons of the little cony-like protypotheres, similar
specimens of rodents and of the somewhat larger flesh-eaters, are among
the many bizarre animals included in these collections. More surpris-
ing are the leg bones of a gigantic bird similar in size to the Moa of
New Zealand.
Of the Eocene mammals collected in the central territories of Pata-
gonia, specimens of the great Pyrotherium and Parastrapotherium are
the most notable. Specimens of these rare and little known animals
include jaws, tusks, molar teeth and isolated parts of skeletons. Animals
of intermediate size, including Asmodeus, Leontinia, Astraponotus,
Proadinotherium, Rhynchippus and others are represented by fine
series of skulls. Other specimens include such mammals as the primitive
flesh-eaters, the gnawers, and other inhabitants of river, forest and plain
which have left no modem representatives and admit of no close com-
parisons. The great flesh-eating bird, Phororachus, is represented by
a good skull and parts of the skeleton.
Zoology. — Five zoological expeditions were in the field during 1925.
Two of them were of major importance, being to foreign countries and
of long duration, while three of them were to points in the United
States and Canada and for relatively short periods of time. All were
highly successful and, although but a small part of the material col-
lected had actually reached the Museimi at the close of the year, it is
evident the results of these expeditions will Ije among the most note-
worthy in the histor>' of the Institution.
Of first importance was the "James Simpson-Roosevelt Asiatic
Expedition" to the western Himalayas, the Pamirs and Turkestan.
The first plan for this expedition originated with Col. Theodore Roose-
velt, Jr. and his brother Mr. Kermit Roosevelt, sons of the former
President of the United States. Like their father, both the younger
Roosevelts have an extraordinary interest in natural history and a
knowledge of animal life far beyond that of the average sportsman.
Therefore, in planning a trip for themselves, they thought immediately
of giving it a scope which would make it of lasting value to science.
This was beyond their private means, so they decided to affiliate them-
selves with a public museum of natural histor\' and chose Field Museum.
They made their desires known to President Stanley Field, and the
matter was brought to the attention of Mr. James Simpson, a trustee
and the donor of the Museum's well known auditoriimi, James Simpson
Theatre. Mr. Simpson, thereupon, agreed to provide all necessary
financial support for the expedition, involving no remuneration for the
432 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
Roosevelts, but making it possible for them to carry all desired equip-
ment for general zoological collecting and to employ trained assistants
to cover special fields. The trip thus became a museum expedition and
was given the title "James Simpson-Roosevelt Asiatic Expedition of
Field Museum of Natural History." Owing to the prominence of the
principals, the expedition has received much public attention and its
progress has been followed by the press of the entire world.
The party sailed from New York, April nth, including, besides
Theodore and Kermit Roosevelt, a well known naturalist, Mr. George
K. Cherrie, and a volunteer photographer, Mr. Suydam Cutting. They
arrived at Bombay, May i ith, and continued at once by rail and auto-
mobile to Srinagar in Kashmir. Here some days were spent in final
preparations and in arranging for transport. In this they were greatly
assisted by the cordial cooperation of the British Resident, Sir John
Wood. May 19th, they left Srinagar with a caravan of 60 ponies and
proceeded via Zoji Pass to the mountain city of Leh, which they reached
without mishap about June ist. From Leh, their course lay northward
through the heart of the Himalayas. In order to maintain the organiza-
tion of their caravan, it was necessary to push on rapidly and but little
time was available during this part of the trip for htmting or collecting.
However, they improved every brief opportunity and succeeded in
obtaining several specimens of the Burrhel or Blue Sheep {Pseiidois
nahura) and the Tibetan Antelope {Pantholops hodgsoni). A few birds
and small mammals, prepared between marches at late hours of the
night, also were collected in this region. The route led across the Sassar,
Karakoram, and Sujet passes and for more than two weeks the expedi-
tion was never below an altitude of 15,000 feet. Being more than two
weeks in advance of the earliest regular spring caravans, the expedition
encountered unusual difficulties in the way of imbroken trails, snow-
fields and swollen streams. Fourteen of the ponies were lost enroute,
partly through lack of endurance and partly through eating a poisonous
weed. With some good fortune and much hard work, however, all
difficulties were overcome and, July 5th, the party was at Sanju Bazaar
in eastern Turkestan with the high Himalayas left behind. A few days
later they arrived at Yarkand, the principal settlement in this part of
Turkestan, where they were cordially received by local Chinese officials.
At Yarkand, the party was divided. To interview officials and
prepare the way for later work when the whole expedition should reach
that region, Mr. Cutting set out alone for a quick trip northwestward
to Kashgar. Mr. Cherrie remained to work slowly northward across
central Turkestan, stopping at convenient points to collect birds,
small mammals, and reptiles. Meanwhile, the Roosevelts made haste
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 433
to reach the Thian Shan Mountains for big game hunting. They left
Yarkand, July 13th, and crossed Turkestan to Aksu in twelve days, a
distance of 280 miles, with many streams to ford, with stretches of
desert to cross, and with hot summer weather in contrast to the cold
winds of the high mountains just traversed. Leaving Aksu, July 27th,
they continued northward over the Muzart Pass in the Thian Shan
Mountains to the vicinity of the upper Tekkes River. Here, in the
heart of southwestern Asia, they were at last enabled to devote several
weeks to continuous big game hunting, and their efforts were attended
with great success.
The collection of large mammals which was obtained in the Thian
Shans covers a wide variety and includes a number of specimens of
unusually high quality. The largest animals secured were three fine
males of the Altai Wapiti, a large deer having general similarity to the
American Elk or Wapiti. Other game included the Thian Shan Sheep
{Ovis karelini), the Siberian Roe Deer, and the Asiatic Brown Bear;
but perhaps most important was a series of the Thian Shan Ibex, includ-
ing old males, females, and young and fulfilling all the exacting require-
ments of a comprehensive museum group. One of the male ibexes shot
by Mr. Kermit Roosevelt is reported to have horns 59^ inches in
length, which is a record for this species and for all ibexes, the largest
one previously known having a measurement of 58 inches.
Leaving the Thian Shans, the Roosevelts hurried on to arrive at
Kashgar, September 28th, and there to make arrangements to hunt in the
Russian Pamirs for the famous Marco Polo's Sheep, one of the principal
objects of the expedition. Although formerly fairly common in the
Pamirs, this sheep has become increasingly difficult to obtain, and
native reports in Kashgar were discouraging, so it was with some mis-
givings that this hunt was undertaken, especially since success was to
be attained only in the limited time remaining before the closing of the
passes to bar rettim to India. In three weeks' time, however, the hunters
went from Kashgar into the Russian Pamirs and came out at Misgar
to send a message, October 23rd, stating that they had obtained four
fine rams of Marco Polo Sheep and several younger animals, siifficient
for a museum group. Thence they hastened back to India via the
Hunza Pass, having received special permission to do so through the
courtesy of the Viceroy and Sir John Wood. Their safe arrival in
Kashmir was reported November 3rd.
While the Roosevelts were finishing work in the Thian Shans and
making their dash into the Pamirs, Mr. Cherrie gradually worked on to
the Thian Shans and was met there by Mr. Cutting, September 7th.
434 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
Further collecting of birds and small mammals was done there and then
they returned to Kashgar whence they started homeward via Russian
Turkestan and Constantinople, carrying with them practically the
entire collection made by the expedition. This included some 21 skins,
skulls and bones of large game, 700 to 1,000 skins of birds and small
mammals, and tanks of reptiles and amphibians preserved in alcohol or
formaldehyde. They journeyed overland northwestward and crossed
the Russian border at Irkeshtan, November 6th. Ten days later they
reached the railhead at Andijan and there arranged for railway transport
of themselves and the collections to Batum on the Black Sea. The
route was via Samarkand and Bokhara to Krasnovodsk on the Caspian
Sea, thence across the Caspian to Baku and to Batum via Tiflis. The
baggage, including the collections, was delayed in transit, and Mr.
Cherrie, after proceeding to Constantinople with Mr. Cutting, was
obliged to return to Batum to insure its safe delivery. Mr. Cutting
returned direct to the United States and reports from Mr. Cherrie at
the close of the year were to the effect that the delayed baggage was
intact and forthcoming.
After retiuning to India, the Roosevelts engaged in a short hunt in
which they secured four male specimens of the Barasingha or Swamp
Deer. In late December they planned hunting in the Central Provinces
accompanied by the head forester of India, Sir Henry Farrington. Still
later, it was their intention to go to the northern province of Nepal and
hunt with the British Resident with the special object of securing the
Indian Rhinoceros.
Complete returns from the Simpson-Roosevelt Expedition are not
available, but in the latest report, December 2nd, the list of large
mammals obtained is as follows : Thian Shan Ibex, 1 2 specimens ; Marco
Polo's Sheep, 8; Thian Shan Sheep, 3; Burrhel or Blue Sheep, 3; Tibetan
Antelope or Chiru, 3 ; Asiatic Wapiti, 3 ; Siberian Roe Deer, 4 ; Barasingha
Deer, 4; Asiatic Brown Bear, 2; Himalayan Black Bear, 2.
The Captain Marshall Field Central African Expedition, which
began work in 1924, continued in the field throughout 1925 under the
direction of Mr. Edmund Heller and Mrs. Hilda H. Heller. The months
of January and February were spent at high altitudes on Motmt Ruwen-
zori, one of the highest mountains in Africa and situated near the border
line between the arid plains and the great central rain forest. Camps
were established at six different altitudes in the Butego valley on this
mountain and a large collection was made, including some 800 mammals
and a considerable niunber of batrachians and reptiles. Three days
were spent at the snowline at an elevation of 12,000 feet and, fortu-

nately, weather conditions were good. Travel of this kind is difficult in
Africa since the elevated regions are uninhabited and but little help can
be had from the natives of the warm lowlands who are very averse to
the cold and snow of the heights.
From Ruwenzori the expedition went west into the Ituri forest and
spent much time in the country of the Wambute tribe and the neighbor-
ing pigmies. After considerable time establishing friendly relations with
the pigmies, their aid was enlisted to secure a specimen of that strange
animal known as the Okapi, perhaps the most difficult to obtain of all
large mammals now living. It is found only in dense dark forests and
is veiy shy and elusive. Its habits are known only to the pigmies who
inhabit these forests and hunt it with spears. A successful hunt was
finally organized and a fine male Okapi, speared by the pigmies, was
obtained and its skin preserved in excellent condition.
Later in the year the expedition moved eastward out of Belgian
territory into northwestern Uganda. Here in the district of Kigezi large
general collections were made under better climatic conditions than
those of the Congo forest. British officials in Uganda afforded cordial
cooperation and through a permit issued by the Governor, Mr. Heller
secured a large male gorilla on the east side of the volcanoes near the
boundary between Uganda and the Congo.
The specimens collected by the African expedition have been thor-
oughly cured, hermetically sealed, and stored at convenient points to be
brought together finally and transported to the United States under
personal escort after field work is completed. At the close of the year,
the expedition was about to start back into the Congo to work in the
region west of Lake Kivu with the special object of securing further
specimens of gorillas.
A short expedition to southern Georgia was made during the summer
by Mr. Leon L. Walters, taxidermist of the Division of Reptiles. The
special object was material for a group showing the American alligator
and its nest and eggs. Headquarters were made at Beachton, Georgia,
where Mr. Walters enjoyed the hospitality and generous assistance of
Mr. H. L. Stoddard and his associates of the U. S. Biological Survey.
Alligators were by no means easy to secure, and all three of the methods
in use by professional alligator hunters were employed. The first method
is that of hunting at night from a boat with a headlight which "shines"
the alligator's eyes. A second method is to bait tarpon or shark hooks,
arranging them as a set, just above the surface of the water. The third
and most interesting method, called poling, was also the most successful.
In summer the larger alligators take up residence in holes in the marshes
438 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VL
of conditions of study, exchange and storage collections. A total of
seventy-three cases were installed for exhibition during this year.
An event of the year was the opening on the first of November of the
new Micronesian and Polynesian Hall (Hall F on the ground floor), to
which Assistant Curator Linton had devoted his energy until his depar-
ture for Madagascar. The chief attraction of this hall consists of an
original Maori council-house from New Zealand, which was acquired by
the Museum as far back as 1904, but which, for lack of space, could not
be erected in the old building. Very few of these council houses have
been preserved, and this house is one of the finest in existence. It is
nearly sixty feet long with a width of twenty feet and an internal height
of fourteen feet. It is the only Maori building extant that has a com-
pletely carved front, and its decorations show Maori art at its best. The
mechanical skill and artistic ability of the Maori were lavished on the
construction of his great council houses which were primarily council and
guest houses, but which were also used as dormitories. They were usually
erected as memorials of some great event, such as the birth of an heir to
the principal chief of the tribe. The materials were selected with great
care, the framework being hewn from trees which had been buried in
river beds until they had lost their sap wood and become thoroughly
seasoned. The ridge pole was the most important part, and was always
made from a single log. That of this house is nearly sixty feet long, and
weighs a ton and a half. All the upright timbers are carved with con-
ventionalized figures of ancestors, while the rafters and ridge pole are
painted with scroll designs. The spaces between the side posts are filled
with panels of woven reeds. Long beds were made along either side of
the house, and there was a small fireplace near the door.
The hall contains forty exhibition-cases. Ten of these have been
grouped along the sides of the house; nine of these cases illustrate the
highly developed culture of the Maori with good examples of their
feather robes, wood carvings, weapons, stone and jade implements. The
inhabitants of the Gilbert Islands are well represented by excellent suits
of armor, weapons, clothing and ornaments, matting, basketry, utensils,
and fishing appliances. Similar material is shown from the Marshall and
Caroline Archipelago, Matty, Durour, and outlying Micronesian islands.
The cultures of Fiji and Samoa are well illustrated, and to some extent
also those of Hawaii, Marquesas, and Mangaia. A guidebook to these
exhibits has been prepared by Assistant Curator Linton and will be
brought out shortly.
The light-colored screens which after several experiments were de-
vised and used in this hall throughout may be designated as a great
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 439
improvement, and are undoubtedly preferable to black screens in the
halls with artificial lighting.
Good progress has been made with the installation of the Arthur B.
Jones collection secured by Dr. F. C. Cole in 1923. Eight cases illustrat-
ing the culture of the Toba Batak of Sumatra, six cases of textiles, cos-
tumes and household utensils of the Menangkabau, Sumatra, and four
cases showing the primitive cultures of the Sakai and Semang in the
Malay Peninsula, have been installed. Three built-in cases were con-
structed in Hall G which is to contain the Arthur B. Jones collection.
One of these has been erected in the center of the hall, and is divided into
three sections which will be used for a Menangkabau miniature village
group, a life-size group of Pygmies engaged in making fire, and a bride j
and groom of the Menangkabau in their ceremonial costumes. The
built-in case in the northeast corner of the hall will harbor the Javanese
orchestra formerly in Hall I, and that in the northwest comer holds the
group of Bagobo weavers which is now almost complete. It is hoped that
this hall will be completed in the first part of next year. Seven cases are
already accessible to the public, being placed alongside the corridor
dividing the east wing from the central section of the ground floor.
A built-in case, which on account of its dimensions (32 x 10 feet, 14
feet high in the interior) is a veritable room in itself, has been constructed
in the Ernest R. Graham Hall at the south end of the recess in which the
two Mastaba tombs are set. It is provided with a door on the west side
which readily gives access to the room and permits easy shifting of exhi-
bition objects. The top lights hidden behind ground glass insure an even
diffusion of light over the exhibits. For the present the large granite
statue of the Lion-headed Goddess Sekhmet, presented by Mr. Frank H.
Cook, and selected sculptured bas-reliefs from the tomb of Bekenranef,
a nobleman of high rank of the twenty-sixth dynasty (about 600 B.C.),
are displayed in this case. In front of it and from the top of the view
glass extending up to the ceiling is a transom case 30 feet long, 4 feet
high, and i foot deep, likewise illimiinated by concealed top-lights and
containing a colored reproduction of a bas-relief which represents the
procession of the sacred boat from Queen Hatshepsut's temple of
Deir-el-Bahri (eighteenth dynasty). The oil-painting by Andrew Mc-
Callum, depicting the Rock-temple of Aboo Simbel, presented by Mr.
Thomas S. Hughes this year, has been hung on a pilaster on the east
side of the Egyptian Hall. A new label has been provided for the repro-
duction of the Rosetta Stone.
Several notable additions and changes were made in Stanley Field
Hall, to render accessible to the public the results of recent expeditions.

A silver zebu acquired by the Captain Marshall Field Expedition to
China (illustrated in Plate XLII of the Annual Report for 1923) was
added to the Chinese antiquities in Case 7. The Roman bronze table
and other bronze and glass objects from Boscoreale were temporarily
removed from Case 6 to make room for the Ej]n,-ptian statue of the
architect Senmut acquired for the Musevmi by Professor Breasted. A
selection from the important collection of ancient E^-ptian and Coptic
textiles has been displayed in Case 16. These include an ancient rug,
two linen tunics decorated with medallions and borders in tapestry
weave, an embroider>' in white on purple ground, and many smaller
pieces in well preserved bright colors, some even of silk and silk mixed
with linen. The designs are very interesting and consist principally of
vine-leaves, grapes, hares, birds, huntsmen on horseback, figures of
women and children. One panel is decorated with the figure of a dancing-
girl brandishing a tambourine.
In Edward E. Ayer Hall a case of Etruscan pottery was installed, and
re-arrangements were made in three cases of Boscoreale bronzes.
The three copper weapons from Alaska presented by Mr. Homer E.
Sargent have been added to Case 8 of Mary D. Sturges Hall. The Karok
buckskin skirt and apron presented by Miss G. Nicholson have been in-
stalled in Case 2 of Hall 6; and the Saltillo serape. a gift from Mr. Sar-
gent, in Case i of Hall 8.
Two cases illustrating the Tobacco Society and Medicine bundles of
the Crow were installed, completely labeled and placed in Cases 23 and
24 of Hall 5. These contain the exchange material received this year
from Messrs. M. G. Chandler and W. Wildschut, combined with material
previously collected for the Museimi by Mr. S. C. Simms.
Two cases, one showing clothing from Huon Gulf, northeastern
Guinea, another of household and industrial objects from the North
Coast of New Guinea, have been added to Joseph N. Field Hall.
The addition of 115 objects made by Mr. Edward E. Ayer last year
to his pewter collection necessitated the installation of a new case and
re-installation in four cases in Hall 23. This room now presents a some-
what crowded appearance, and as the new type of built-in case has
proved successful, it has been decided to discard the eleven standard
cases and replace them with specially built cases running along the
walls and illuminated by encased top-lights.
The collection of rhinoceros-horn cups from China, presented by
Mr. John J. Mitchell, was catalogued and labeled immediately and
placed on exhibition in two standard cases in the center of Hall 24 (East
Gallery). A case of Chinese wood, root and bamboo carvings and a case
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 441
of Chinese fans were installed, and will be placed on view as soon as the
labels have been printed.
After removal of the model of the Moon from the south end of the
West Gallery, the space thus gained was occupied by four cases contain-
ing Chinese ivories, baskets, and lacquers. The installation of the ex-
hibit illustrating how crickets are kept in China for singing and fighting
purposes has been completed, and the case placed on exhibition at the
south end of the East Gallcr\'. Grateful acknowledgement is made to
Associate Curator Gerhard for preparing specimens of the insects for
exhibition and to Dr. James A. G. Rehn of the Academy of Natural
Sciences of Philadelphia for determining their scientific names. In the
present state of the work it is impossible to maintain a correct sequence
of the exhibition cases in the East and West Galleries, as additions and
changes are constantly made and as, in accordance with the progress
of work in the new halls on the ground floor, exhibits from Java, Africa,
and India have to be transferred from the West Gallery to their new
locations. At the completion of this task, it will be possible to re-arrange
the East and West Galleries methodically. They will ultimately be
entirely devoted to China and Tibet.
Room 38 has been converted into a workshop for receiving, laying
out and installing new material. Nine old table-cases which contained
Mexican and South American collections in storage were vacated and
discarded, the material being placed in the storage room on the ground
floor. This resulted in a great improvement of working conditions and
made way for six more layout tables in Room 38. It now accommodates
a total of 18 layout tables, whereby the work of the Department is
greatly facilitated. Twelve layout tables were made for the offices and
workrooms of assistant curators.
All American archaeological material, as far as it is not on exhibition,
is now concentrated in the storage room on the ground floor. All exhibi-
tion cases temporarily placed in the clerestories were stripped of material
which was arranged, sorted, stored, and identified with proper labels.
All collections in work-rooms and storage rooms on the third floor have
been subjected to a revised arrangement.
Last February the departmental library was removed from Room 39
in the southeast comer of the building, where it had been housed for
four years, and was permanently transferred to the new racks in Room
52 adjoining the curator's office. This arrangement is ver}' satisfactory,
as it gives the curator without loss of time direct access to the library
and places it vmder his immediate supendsion. New cabinets were pro-
cured to contain maps, the catalogue cards, and the inventory volumes
442 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
with the accession files, in keeping with the style of the other office
furniture.
In Room 35, the storage room for physical anthropology, new racks
with trays were made for the accommodation of skulls and skeletal
material. There are four sections, each consisting of fourteen cabinets,
seven on each side. Each of these fifty-six cabinets contains eleven trays
of white pine, making a total of 616 trays, which are calculated to hold
about nine thousand skulls. A label-holder has been provided for each
tray.
Modeler J. G. Prasuhn made progress on the miniature group of a
New Guinea village, completing the men's assembly house, the young
men's dormitory, and an outrigger canoe with sail. The group of Bagobo
weavers from the Philippines, the figures of which were cast years ago in
the old building, has been installed in a built-in case in Hall H ; all the
accessories were made for the group, the figures dressed and properly
posed.
Two large and several small bronze figures from the Egyptian collec-
tion developed during the year bad cases of malignant patina which
threatened to destroy them. These have been successfully treated by
Associate Curator H. W. Nichols in the chemical laboratory of the
Department of Geology by means of the recently perfected electrolytic
process. Familiarity with the process was acquired by treating a nimiber
of smaller bronzes to remove disfiguring incrustations. The results of
this process have been so successful that not only has the dangerous pro-
gressive corrosion been eliminated, but also much elaborate detail of
unsuspected designs has been discovered. The experience with these
bronzes has been such that there will be no hesitation in applying the
process in the future to whatever bronzes may need it.
Modeler Prasuhn restored 24 objects from Kish, 19 from Egypt, 4
from Italy, 7 from Mexico, 41 from China, and 9 from Pacific Islands.
Mr. T. Ito restored 144 pieces of Peruvian pottery, 40 pieces of pottery,
stone, and bronze from Kish, 18 pieces of Cameroon pottery, n pieces
of pewter, and 6 Japanese ivories. 10,931 numbers were marked on
specimens.
Botany. — In the exhibition halls of the Department of Botany the
task of reinstallation which was begun last year has been carried forward
as rapidly as possible with the elimination of bottled specimens and
black backgrounds. The Hall of Plant Life (Hall 29) has thus been com-
pletely reinstalled as far as possible with the material on hand and
ntunerous additions have been made to the plant reproductions and
models which are the conspicuous feature in the hall. These

Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 443
include some common plants of the northern temperate zone, such as
the paper birch, crab apple and sugar beet, as well as many less
familiar subtropical and tropical ones.
The spiderworts are now represented by a reproduction of the large
and attractive South American Dichorisandra, to which will be added
one of the more inconspicuous but better known forms. Other additions
to the monocotyledons are a flowering Tacca, a yam vine bearing flowers
and aerial tubers, a Schombiu-gkia, a West Indian orchid chosen for its
large flask-like water storage organs or pseudobulbs, the fruiting spadices
of a screwpine or Pandanus and of a Palmyra palm, the latter interesting
among the Palms on account of its large egg-plant-like fruits, which
were obtained in the Georgetown Botanical Garden by the Stanley
Field Guiana Expedition in 1922. A series of sections of a sprouting
coconut showing interesting stages in the germination have also been
added to the palms exhibit. At the time the Granadilla vine was repro-
duced in its flowering condition good fruits were not obtainable but
these were readily secured in British Guiana where this passion flower is
commonly cultivated and have now been reproduced and added to the
vine. A section of a Granadilla and some of the lesser Passifiora fruits
have also been added to this exhibit.
A flowering branch of the spiny Catesbaea with its long pendulous
flowers and small orange-like fruits has been added to the case containing
the Madder family. The Borages have been illustrated by a reproduc-
tion of a flowering and fruiting branch of the Scarlet Cordia, or Geiger
Tree, obtained last year in Key West.
To the Spurges there has been added a fruiting branchlet of the
Tung-oil tree which is of such great importance to the modem varnish
industry and has recently been introduced into commercial cultivation
in the United States.
A flowering branch of the Frangipani and of a related British Guiana
forest tree (Plumiera articulata) with its large curved paired pods have
been reproduced and added to the case containing the Dogbanes.
The Myrtaceae have hitherto been represented chiefly by the
Eucalyptus and the Guava, but fruiting branches of the bright red pear-
shaped Malay- or Malacca-apple, {Eugenia malaccensis) , the "Curas-
son-apple," {E. javanica) obtained in Surinam and the "Java-plum"
{E. jamholana) from the Plant and Seed Introduction Station in Florida
have been added during the year and installed in their appropriate place.
The Cactus exhibit has been enhanced by the addition of a modeled
flowering tip of a candelabra cactus ( Cereus pentagonus) . In one of the
expanded flowers of this model is to be seen a specimen of the long-
444 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
tongued bat that in its native regitm is a visitor to this night blooming
cactus either for the nectar or for the insects, or both, to be gathered
within the large blossoms. Another addition to the cactus case is a
Rhipsalis from Trinidad, a slender epiphytic un-cactus-like plant, which
hangs like masses of green threads from the branches of the trees where
it grows.
To the Bladderworts there has been added a flowering Utricularia
plant, mounted together with an enlarged section of its flower and a
model of a single enlarged bladder or trap with its typical catch.
A piece of a branch of a "cluster-fig" (Ficus glomerata) from India
with its grape-like bunches of fruit, some white and purple figs, a sugar
beet from Illinois, a sugar cane from Louisiana for the sugar exhibits, are
also on the list of plant reproductions added during the year.
A young unexpanded leaf of the Victoria regia has been modeled for
this group which was prepared last year. A section of the Victoria regia
flower constitutes an interesting addition to the flower forms repre-
sented by models in the Hall of Plant Life. This model and the young
leaf of the Victoria regia were the last of the many creditable pieces of
work produced by David Henner, before his untimely death by acci-
dental drowning while swimming at the Dunes last stunmer. Mr. Henner
was one of the most talented and able of the artists and preparators who
by their skill have contributed to the plant reproductions in this hall.
In the adjoining hall, Hall 25, containing the palms on one side, the
vegetable food products on the other, reinstallation has been begun
with the cane and beet sugar exhibits. In the economic collections the
fats, oils, sugars and wood distillation products have received special
attention. Typical samples have been selected and sealed in glass tubes
for exhibition.
In the Herbarium some further progress has been made in the study
of the 1922 and 1923 Peruvian collections by botanists at other institu-
tions (cf. 1924 Annual Report of the Director, 314, 1925) and several
have undertaken the determination of further groups: Mr. E. P. Killip,
U. S. National Museum, is identifying the Acanthaceae, Amaryllidaceae,
Aristolochiaceae, Brunelliaceae, Convolvulaceae, Coriariaceae, Dilleniaceae,
Hypericaceae, Juncaceae, Lacistemaceae, Liliaceae, Loranthaceae (exclud-
ing Phoradendron) , Myricaceae, Myrsinaceae, Myrtaceae, Rosaceae (ex-
cluding Rubus and Hesperomeles) , Styracaceae, Tropaeolaceae and
Vitaceae; Dr. J. N. Rose, U. S. National Museum, has assumed respon-
sibility for the genera Hofmanseggia and Caesalpinia and the subfamily
Mimoseae; Prof. E. M. Gilbert, University of Wisconsin, is studying a
number of the fleshy fungi; Dr. I. M. Johnston, Gray Herbarium, has
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 445
named a small miscellaneous collection in addition to his special groups.
The Museum has published a short paper by Mr. J. F. Macbride on the
Psoraleas (Publ. 231 Bot.) together with notes on a few other species,
mostly legumes.
The principal organization work of the year in the herbariiun was
the preparation for study of the Gaumer collections made from 191 7
to 1 92 1 in Yucatan. The determination of these valuable sets has kindly
been undertaken by the botanical staff of the U. S. National Museum,
particularly by Dr. Paul C. Standley, whose especial fitness for this
work is indicated by his well known and admirable volumes on the
woody plants of Mexico. The earlier Gaiuner collections, prior to 1917,
were largely studied by the late Dr. Millspaugh, but for various reasons
he did not have the opportunity at the time to continue this investiga-
tion. These recent collections, in so far as determined, total 1,189 sheets.
There are about eight duplicate sets that will be available for distribu-
tion in exchange with other botanical institutions when the clerical work
connected with their organization is consmnmated.
The herbaritun specimens of Illinois plants finally have all been
withdrawn from the general collections and now form the basis for an
herbarium which it is hoped will ultimately include a specimen of
every species known to grow in the state. This special collection has
been very creditably reorganized by Mr. Carl Neuberth so that it is now
available for ready reference. Many additions, however, must be made
before it will represent adequately the state flora.
Geology. — To the geological exhibits in Stanley Field Hall was
added a case, one-half of which was devoted to models of dinosaurs and
bones and tracks of these animals. In the other half of the case a series
of fossil crinoids, mostly large specimens from the Borden collection, was
installed. A niimber of specimens of fossil pine cones and branches from
Patagonia collected by the Captain Marshall Field Paleontological Ex-
pedition to that country and some large fossil invertebrates collected
by the same expedition were installed in another case in this hall. Most
of the specimens presented by Mr. William J. Chalmers during the year
were installed in the cases of the crystal collection and of systematic
minerals in Hall 34. In this connection a rearrangement of the contents
of the crystal collection cases was made and about 200 new labels were
installed. The specimens of the group of hydrous silicates, numbering
148, in this hall, were mounted on individual blocks upon a screen.
New specimens received during the year were added to a number of
groups in this hall.
446 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
In Skiff Hall the specimens in the bays of ten cases were mounted on
individual blocks and brought nearer to the front. The labels of these
specimens were correspondingly raised by means of wire supports.
Specimens in the upright sections of eight cases were provided with an
improved form of blocks in continuation of the work of last year. The
cases remounted in this manner this year were those of iron, copper, lead,
zinc, mercury, tin, nickel and rare-earth ores. They contained 1,028
specimens. New material in this Hall and in Hall 36 has been installed
as fast as it was received. The asbestos collections in Skiff Hall were en-
larged by the installation of additional specimens of prepared asbestos
and by the addition of a series illustrating the preparation and use of
rock wool. The lubricating oils, clays, peat and marble exhibits were
also enlarged by the addition of newly acquired material. In connection
with the installation of new labels for the iron blast furnace models,
specimens of iron ore and manufactured iron made in Catalan forges in
use in Brazil and collected by the Captain Marshall Field Brazilian Ex-
pedition of 1922 were installed adjoining the model of this forge. In addi-
tion to a large general label for the cement plant model, a series of six
mahogany labels with gold lettering was installed within the case to
explain briefly the nature of each group of machine shown. The large
stump of the tree obtained from the coal mine at Zeigler, Illinois, pre-
sented by Mr. Walter G. Zoller, was mounted on a mahogany base and
installed in Hall 36 in proximity to the general coal exhibit. To the
model in this hall illustrating the formation of peat, a base representing
underlying rock was added. To the exhibit of diamonds and associated
rocks, there were added three cut diamonds and some associated minerals
from the Murfreesboro, Arkansas, mines, presented by Messrs. Howard
A. Millar and Austin Q. Millar.
As rapidly as they have been prepared for exhibition, the fossil verte-
brates collected by the Captain Marshall Field Paleontological Expedi-
tions in Argentina and Bolivia have been installed in Hall 38. Two large
dinosaur leg bones, each over six feet in length and weighing 930 and 740
pounds respectively, were mounted on individual bases and placed ad-
joining the large dinosaur skeleton. Among vertebrates of Tertiary age,
an entire case has been installed with specimens from the South Ameri-
can expeditions. These included a fossil whale skull, six and one-half
feet in length, a beautifully ornamented carapace, twenty-eight inches
in length, of an extinct armadillo, and several smaller specimens. A
complete list is as follows: One carapace of the armored mammal,
Propalaeohoplophorus; skulls of the South American fossil mammals,
Nesodon, Adinotherium, Proeutatus, Hapalops and Pachurukhos; jaws
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 447
of Pyrotherium and of Neoromys; skull and jaws of a fossil baleen
whale of undetermined species.
The skull of the baleen whale was collected from a marine formation
(Patagonian Beds) which caps the pampas of Patagonia and is extended
over a wide area. In this formation are found fossil whales of various
kinds, immense oyster shells and other fossils of marine origin. Some of
these fossil shells may be seen attached to the skull. This animal was
one of the baleen, or whalebone whales which are still common in the
south Atlantic and which may be frequently fovmd stranded on the
shores of Patagonia. These specimens are interesting not only as fossil
animals but also in contributing unmistakable evidence of the marine
origin of the great series of clays and sandstones of Patagonia which now
lie as much as two thousand feet above high tide and form the surface of
wide pampa-plateaus. The specimen obtained is of smaller size than the
modem baleen whale and belongs to an extinct species not yet deter-
mined.
The preparation of the above specimens and of a large carapace, five
feet in length, of a species of Glyptodon collected in Bolivia, comprise
the major activities carried on in the laboratory of vertebrate paleon-
tology during the year. The shell or carapace of the Glyptodon was col-
lected in the Tarija Valley of southern Bolivia. This shell formed the
body-covering of a huge animal which was common in Pliocene and
Pleistocene times. Glyptodon belonged to a family of extinct animals
(Glyptodonts), which at that period ranged from southern United States
to the southern extremity of Argentina. In addition to their great size
the Glyptodonts are of interest because of the homy covering which
sheathed the head, body and tail and served at once as a covering and
as a defensive armor. This characteristic it shared with the smaller arma-
dillo, but carried the development one degree farther in having the bony
dermal plates of which the shell is composed joined by sutures to form
a rigid carapace. This carapace was doubtless covered outwardly with
homy plates, which gave the armor a smooth and elastic siirface. The
top of the head was covered with a similar shield; the tail was enclosed in
a series of overlapping rings. Protected in this way, the Glyptodon had
but to crouch upon the ground, with head and legs drawn into the shell,
and so remain secure from attack of any flesh-eating animal of his time.
No doubt this immunity accounts for the long survival of these sluggish
creatures and for their distribution over two continents.
Construction of a model of a typical brickyard was undertaken by
Associate Curator Nichols in the latter part of the year. Preliminary
inquiries brought out the fact that while a model of a small, simple
448 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
yard of the kind that was common some years ago would demonstrate
clearly the principles upon which the industry is based, such a model
would be misleading as an illustration of modern practice, since success
in the present day brick industry depends upon quantity production and
the use of elaborate labor-saving equipment. Therefore, it was
decided to model a large, well-equipped modem yard. President
William Schlake of the Illinois Brick Co., kindly offered hearty coopera-
tion and after investigation. Yard No. 22 of this company at Blue Island,
Illinois, was selected as especially suitable for reproduction. Surveys of
the yard and a contour map of the yard and the clay pits were made by
the Associate Curator. Superintendent Lambert and other officials of
the company cordially assisted in this work. Numerous photographs
were taken of details and sketches and measurements of the kiln sheds
and buildings were made in order to insure accuracy of modelling. The
model is now under construction. It is twelve feet long and three feet,
six inches wide. It is on a scale of twelve and one-half feet to the inch.
This scale makes human figures about one-half of an inch in height, and
details of the machinery are readily visible. The ground and clay pits
have been modelled in cement. The elaborately framed kiln sheds have
been reproduced by the use of sheet copper and copper wire. The use of
this material has enabled the elaborate framing of the timbers to be
faithfully reproduced. There are also represented kilns in various stages
of building, burning and removal and these in sufficient detail so that
the methods of piling the brick are shown as well as the elaborate piping
of the oil-burning equipment. Features still to be represented include
models of the brick- making machines, dryers, power plant, steam shov-
els and accessory buildings.
A relief map of the rock surface under Chicago has also been mod-
elled in the Department from data obtained from the Chicago City
Department of Engineering. This relief represents the rock surface of
the territory from Lawrence Avenue on the north to Lake Calumet on
the south and from 56th Avenue on the west to points in Lake Michigan
several miles east of the shore line. The horizontal scale of the model is
eight miles to the inch and the vertical scale ten times the horizontal.
In the chemical laboratory quantitative analyses of five iron meteor-
ites were made by the Associate Curator. Analyses of a gum from the
Hopewell Mounds, of a specimen of Chinese cement and nimierous
qualitative tests for visitors or correspondents of the Museum were also
made in this laboratory. Ten iron meteorite sections were etched.
Treatment of antique bronzes for checking corrosion and restoring their
surface was undertaken during the latter part of this year in this labora-
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 449
tory and very satisfactory results obtained. The method is an electro-
lytic and chemical one chiefly devised by the Metropolitan Museum of
Art of New York City. For carrying on the work here and for permanent
use a Weston voltmeter and ammeter with electrodes, switches and con-
tainers were added to the equipment of the laboratory. Other additions
to the laboratory equipment included a filter drying closet and a small
crucible furnace.
The lighting of the Department library was improved by providing
it with five 200 watt reflectors. The office and library of the Associate
Curator were provided with 240 feet of oak shelving. Five radio photo-
logues for the Chicago Daily News were given by members of the De-
partment staff during the year.
Zoology. — Installation in the Department of Zoology included
several large groups of mammals, one systematic case of mammals, two
systematic cases of birds, one group of reptiles, and one group of fishes.
In addition, a number of single animals have been prepared, some of
which have been installed and others are awaiting cases or rearrange-
ment of space. In all, therefore, the zoological exhibits have received an
unusual amount of addition and improvement.
The mammal group of greatest interest is perhaps that of the man-
eating lions. The specimens for this group are the actual individuals
described by Colonel J. H. Patterson in his book "The Man-Eaters of
Tsavo." These animals, two large males of the short-haired maneless
type found in the hot semi-arid coast of East Africa, killed and, in most
cases, devoiu*ed more than 130 human beings. Their story is a most
extraordinary one and they are perhaps the most famous of all lions.
Their skins and skulls were purchased from Colonel Patterson by Presi-
dent Stanley Field and presented to the Museum. They had been pre-
served for a number of years and were not prepared originally with a
view to musetmi exhibition. Therefore they offered unusual difficulty to
the taxidermist and were mounted only by the exercise of much pains-
taking care and skillful manipulation. This was accomplished by Taxi-
dermist Julius Friesser with the assistance of Mr. H. C. Holling, the
result forming a striking addition to the groups of African game animals
in Hall 22. A slight rearrangement of the exhibits in this hall was made
in this connection. The group of Beisa Antelopes was removed from the
south half of the hall to the north, thus bringing practically all the
hoofed animals into the north half and leaving carnivores and primates
for the south half. The group of Beisas was reinstalled in the northeast
comer of the hall and provided with plain backgrounds on two sides
which serve to improve the lighting of the group.
450 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
The beaver group was removed from its open floor case and rein-
stalled in a new position in the northeast comer of Hall i6. Here it was
placed in a built-in section with a single view glass, the background was
extended on each side and effective lighting provided, altogether making
it a much improved installation. On the opposite side of the hall, in a
similar situation, there was installed the Jaguar and Capybara group,
material for which was collected by a museimi expedition to Venezuela
some years ago, but which had never been exhibited. The background,
which had been painted for a different style of installation, was extended
to the sides of the enclosure and the group arranged as a "built-in"
exhibit. The scene shown is a tropical jungle of mangroves and ferns
at the edge of a pool of water. The Capybara, largest of rodents, is repre-
sented by a family of two adults and several young. At one side, partly
covered by the dense vegetation, a jaguar is stealthily approaching its
unsuspecting prey. The whole effect gives an excellent and characteristic
impression of life in the hot lowlands of the South American tropics.
A special exhibit of the "Mammals of the Chicago Area" was pre-
pared early in the year and installed in a single case in Stanley Field
Hall. The area included covers a radius of fifty miles from the center of
the city and practically all of the thirty-nine species known to occur
there are shown. The larger species, as bears and deer, which are extinct
in the area, are not shown. Each species has an individual setting with
sufficient accessories to give it an attractive appearance and to indicate
or at least suggest some of its habits and locality preferences. The case is
of especial interest to local naturalists, and it is hoped will be of value in
connection with the Museum's work with school children.
The Olympic Elk group, preparation of which has been subject to
nttmerous interruptions, was advanced during the year, but final installa-
tion was not accomplished. Space for it was assigned at the south end
of Pullman Hall and all preliminary construction completed.
Rearrangement of the systematic exhibit of mammals in Hall 15 was
continued and thirteen cases there were reinstalled and cases of old style
design eliminated. A niunber of single mammals were mounted, only a
part of which were installed. Among them were specimens of the Brazil-
ian Red Wolf, the Chinchilla, and the Argentine Viscacha obtained by
recent South American expeditions. Awaiting installation are an
Alaskan White Sheep, a Chilean Huemul, Ouakari Monkey, Tibetan
Gazelle, Peruvian Tayra, and several smaller mammals.
Two cases of North American birds were installed during the year as
a beginning of the proposed revision of the systematic exhibit of birds
in Hall 2 1 . The first of these was a case of raptorial birds, including birds

Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 451
of this class previously exliibited temporarily in Stanley Field Hall. All
the important species of eagles, hawks, and falcons found in North
America north of Mexico are shown. Species occurring in the state of
Illinois have a distinctive mark on the label and thus the previous sys-
tem of separate exhibits of North American and Illinois birds is rendered
unnecessary. Shelves are dispensed with and the birds are disposed on
natural perches affording opportunity for pleasing arrangement, proper
association of related species and great variety of posing. A second case
of this series was installed late in the year, containing on one side the
North American owls (23 specimens) and on the other the woodpeckers
(48 specimens) . In a few instances, not only the distinct species but some
of the more important geographic races or subspecies are shown. Al-
though the exhibit is a systematic one, it is possible also to introduce
occasional features illustrating particular habits of individual species.
A notable example of this sort is found on the screen of woodpeckers,
where the California Woodpecker is mounted on a section of a telegraph
pole, illustrating the well known but very interesting habit which this
bird has of storing acorns in standing trees or poles. The section of pole,
thickly studded with acorns, was collected and presented by Mr. R. H,
Tuttle of San Bernardino at the instance of Mr. Edward E. Ayer.
The group of American White Pelicans, which was one of the very
few exhibits sviffering some damage during removal from the old Museum
building, was brought again to first class condition by substituting for
the old ones three newly mounted pelicans especially collected for the pur-
pose by Taxidermist Hine on an expedition to Canada earlier in the year.
Installation of reptiles was confined mainly to one large group of
American crocodiles. Material for this group was obtained by the
Captain Marshall Field Expedition to Honduras in 1923. Full size
plaster casts of the freshly killed animals were made in the field and
safely transported to the Museum where they were used in making the
celluloid reproductions for the group. The crocodiles are the largest
animals to which the celluloid process has been applied, and it is gratify-
ing to find it quite as effective and successful as with smaller ones. The
Anaconda, previously exhibited with other material, was reinstalled to
occupy an entire case with suitable accessories. A nimiber of small rep-
tiles were prepared in celluloid and await installation. Further experi-
ments were conducted in celluloid work and a number of difficulties
have been cleared up, especially in the technique of preparing specimens
of very small size.
With the exception of one special undersea group, very few fishes
were installed during 1925, owing to the lack of suitable cases. A small
452 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
collection of Pacific food and game fishes which had been exhibited
temporarily in Stanley Field Hall was removed and placed in storage
for incorporation with the systematic exhibit at a later time. Prepara-
tion of fishes continued with some interruptions and about fifty com-
pleted specimens are on hand with many others in various stages of com-
pletion, altogether comprising a sufficient nimiber to occupy at least
four entire cases.
The undersea group shows mainly sharks and rays and is installed in
a built-in case with artificial light and painted background. It repre-
sents a scene as it might be viewed from a porthole of a submarine near
shore and near bottom in the Gulf of Mexico. The material for it was
collected by the Captain Marshall Field Expedition to Texas in 1924.
The species showTi are as follows: A small shark (CarcJiarinus limbatus)
commonly called "maneater" and much feared by local fishermen; a
Cow-nosed Ray {RJnnoptera lohata), a species with heavily armored jaws
for crushing shellfish; a Leopard Ray (Aetobatus narinari) handsomely
spotted black and white; a Sting Ray (Dasybatus hastatus), having a
large barbed spine at the base of the tail ; a Sawfish {Pristis pectinaius)
about ten feet in length; and an Electric Ray (Narcine brasiliensis),
noted for the powerful electric shock it is able to give.
There were no new installations of osteological material, but there
was considerable rearrangement. Six cases, released from service for
mammals in Hall 15, were utilized to bring under cover a number of
large skeletons that had previously been exposed on open bases.
A special exhibit was maintained in Stanley Field Hall throughout
most of the year, showing the route of the James Simpson-Roosevelt
Expedition, and characteristic animals of the region traversed. It in-
cluded a relief map on which the progress of the expedition was indi-
cated by small flags placed as despatches came in. Paintings or pub-
lished figures of mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes likely to be ob-
tained were also showm.
Congestion in the reference collections of mammals and birds was
partly relieved by the acquisition of eight units of a new and improved
style of storage case. This has a metal exterior and interior fittings of
wood and composition. It is equipped with swinging doors having a
special locking device, rendering it practically airtight and mothproof.
It is finished in color and is convenient, practical, and attractive in
appearance. The need for further cases of this type continues in order
to make it possible to assemble specimens from their miscellaneous
places of storage and place them in convenient order for reference and
proper care.
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 453
Ehiring the year the last of the reptiles and amphibians were removed
from the fish storage room, leaving shelf room for a better arrangement
of fishes. A beginning was made on this new arrangement and some
work was also done on the very important task of removing specimens
from imserviceable cork-stoppered or glass-stoppered bottles and putting
them in safer containers of the fruit-jar type.
Routine work in skull cleaning, skin dressing, and preparation of
material received from expeditions proceeded as usual. Some 2,000
insects were pinned and labeled and four cases of shells were removed
from exhibition and placed in storage.
An important event of the year was the receipt of the Barnes collec-
tion of North American birds' eggs. The collection was deposited in the
Museum by Judge R. M. Barnes, who holds the position of Assistant
Curator of Oology in the Department of Zoology, and who will share
responsibility for its care and gro^vth during his lifetime, after which it
is agreed that full title to it shall pass to the Museum. The collection
contains 38,731 eggs and is one of the largest and most valuable collec-
tions of the kind ever formed. Besides specimens obtained by Judge
Barnes himself during forty years of activity, it contains various collec-
tions of others which were purchased entire. Among these are collections
of Messrs. PhiloW. Smith, Lee W. Chambers, J.W. Preston, P. B. Peabody,
George Noble, Fred W. Beers, and Richard Christ. The collection is
arranged in series of sets covering variations and peculiarities of interest
to oologists. It contains, approximately, fovir hundred such series re-
garded as complete and about five hundred uncompleted ones. Prac-
tically every species of North American bird is represented, including
some very rare or extinct ones, the eggs of which are now virtually imob-
tainable.
THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION
Progress in the N. W. Harris Extension Department during the past
year has been more than ordinarily satisfactory. Seventy-eight cases
were added to the number available for loaning to the schools of Chicago.
Improvements were made in the methods of production used in several
of these cases. The attractiveness and educational value of cases exhibit-
ing reproductions of wild flowers of the Chicago area were increased by
the use as backgrounds of enlarged and colored photographs showing
the natural habitat of the fiowers reproduced. The total number of
cases that have been prepared for school use is 908. Of this number 706
are in daily circulation, cases now being regularly loaned to 353 schools
in Chicago. Each pupil of the conservatively estimated half-million
454 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
attending these combined schools has the opportunity every school-day
of studying two of the cases ; and during the school-year, thirty-six cases
are placed at his disposal. A delivery truck visits each school eighteen
times during the year and leaves, on each visit, two cases. These are
either taken from class room to class room or are displayed in the main
hall of the school.
Requests to receive scheduled deliveries of cases were received from
and granted to the following: Union League Foundation for Boys' Clubs,
the Chicago University Settlement, Pullman Free School of Manual
Training, and the Guardian Angel School conducted by the Sisters
of Notre Dame. Cases were loaned for short periods to the fol-
lowing: Woodlawn, Ogden Park and Henry E. Legler branches of
the Chicago Public Library; Y. M. C. A. School; Moreland Continuation
School; Municipal Pier Exhibit; Chicago Art Institute; Annual Nature
Exhibit, Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs; Chicago Chapter, Wild
Flowers Preservation Society of America; Swift & Company; Inter-
national Life Stock Show; and Sprague, Warner & Company. Acknowl-
edgement is made to the A. I. Root Company for their assistance in the
preparation of a case showing various phases in the life of the honey-bee.
This case was exhibited under their auspices at a meeting of the Wisconsin
Bee-keepers' Association, and, later, in the Entomological Section of the
Annual Meeting, American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Guide-Lecturers
Classes from public, parochial and private schools, clubs, con-
ventions, and other groups were given free guide-lecture service
throughout the year. In conducted tours for classes from the public
schools, a strict adherence to the subjects studied in each grade
was maintained. This policy, coupled with the cooperation of
school officials, nearly tripled the number of school classes receiving
instruction. Three hundred forty-eight Informal lectures were given
in the exhibition halls to classes totalling 11,821 children. A Vacation
Course of Instruction for children recommended by Members of the
Museum was carried on during the summer months. Thirty-six classes,
with an attendance of 251 children, met during the course for study of
the Museum collections. Clubs and conventions to the number of 120
with an attendance of 2,167 were conducted on general tours of the
Institution; and nine lectures illustrated by stereopticon were given to
342 members of women's clubs. Public tours were offered on announced
days and hours; and 176 such tours were attended by 693 individuals.
The total for guide-lecture service in the Museum was: 653 lectures with
an attendance of 15,023 individuals.
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 455
In January of 1925, tentative plans were made for widening the
scope of the guide-lecture service by the inauguration of Field Museum
Extension Lectures in the Public Schools. The addition of a third guide-
lecturer to the department in March gave fresh impetus to the plan;
but upon advice of school officials, the beginning of the work was
postponed until the school year 192 5-1926. It was the desire of the
Museimi to keep these lectures related as closely as possible to the
regular school work by selecting their subjects from the school curricu-
lum. The lectures were illustrated by lantern slides and were given in
either school auditoriimis or class rooms, depending upon the choice of
the principal. In November and December, 91 lectures were given to
audiences totalling 20,717 children. These figures, combined with the
totals for conducted tours, general lectures, special lectures, entertain-
ments and Americanization programs, make a total of 105,066 individ-
uals who received direct instruction from the Museum in the year 1925.
Art Research Classes
During the year, the classes in research from the School of the
Art Institute of Chicago visited the Museum daily. The enrollment
of this year is slightly in excess of that of preceding j^ears.
Interest in the work is constantly growing, and the results of
study in the Museum is to be seen in the work of other classes at the
Art Institute.
Some of the work done in Mr. Wilkins' classes included the produc-
tions of posters, a few of which were used by the Museum in the Rapid
Transit Series of advertisements and in the schools of Chicago.
The portfolio, "Research Design in Nature," which was published
during 1925 by Mr. Wilkins from Field Museimi Press, was compiled
from the work of his classes at the Museum. It contains approximately
220 plates, showing about 3,000 designs based directly on Museum
exhibits, and is finding a diversified use in art, education and industry.
Publicity
General. — During the past year the Publicity work was enlarged,
international as well as local and national mediimis being used. Neces-
sarily the emphasis lay upon local efforts, the primary aim of the work
during the year being to arouse a desire on the part of the general public
to visit the Museum.
In addition to attempting to increase the use of the Museum by the
public through arousing an interest in its exhibits and activities, an
456 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI.
active campaign has been maintained to enable the stranger to find his
way to the Museum.
Various advertising mediums have been placed at the disposal of
the Museum without charge. This occasion is taken to again extend the
thanks of the Institution to the givers of this space.
Press Publicity. — ^An average of five newspaper notices were pub-
lished each week in the local papers, some of these notices appearing in
all or several of the six Chicago newspapers. Of the two hundred and
fifty news stories, ninety-three were published nationally and twenty-one
received international circulation. The aim of these stories was to in-
form the public regarding the Museum's important exhibits and its re-
search, expeditions, aims, accomplishments and general activities.
During the year, news, feature and pictorial publicity was secured
through the following distribution ser\'ices: Associated Press, United
Press, International News, Universal Service, Consolidated Press,
Underwood & Underwood. International Photo Service. Kadel &
Herbert, Pacific and Atlantic, Photograms. Wide World, Central
Press, NEA vService, Havas, Agence Radio, Reuters, Rosta, Aus-
tralian Press, etc.
Illu.strated articles were also printed in several leading magazines
concerning Museum projects and activities.
Advertising. — A series of six color posters, representing Museum
exhibits, was displayed in the Elevated Line Stations. Placards an-
nouncing the lecture courses were also displayed by the Rapid Transit
Company in the spring and autumn. During the same seasons, the
Surface Lines printed, at their own expense, overhead posters advertising
the Museum. The Illinois Central Railroad, through the courtesy of the
Inland Advertising Company, continued to give advertising space in its
suburban trains to the Museum.
Two color posters were distributed to libraries, schools and other
institutions advertising the spring and autuinn lecture courses for
adults and similar distribution was given to two posters advertising
children's courses. A series of three color posters was used to advertise
the Americanization Programs, distribution of this series being by mail
and through the assistance of the Citizenship Committee of the Chicago
Council of Social Agencies.
Through the courtesy of the Clyde W. Riley Advertising System, the
Museum used during the year a page in each program used by the eight-
een theatres whose programs are controlled by the System. A page
advertisement also appeared in each issue of the Auditorium Theater
Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 457
program during the 1925 season of the Chicago Civic Opera, this space
being secured through the interest of President Stanley Field. An
advertisement of the Museum appeared in This Week in Chicago, issue
of May 3-9, 1925, through the courtesy of the publisher.
Direction Folders. — A form letter has been sent to an average of
fifty convention chairmen a month during the past year, offering them
a supply of folders on "How to Reach Field Museum." A number of
conventions have been supplied in this manner with the folders. This
folder also received wide distribution through the courtesy of local
hotels, information booths and railroad stations.

Among the exhibition labels printed, those produced on buff stock
are worthy of mention as they have proved unusually legible in the
artificially lighted halls. No. 3 in the Design Series is a good example of
the cooperation which exists between the divisions of Photography,
Photogravure and Printing. It consists of a portfolio with thirty-eight
photogravure plates and four pages of text.
