REPORT ON THE PROGRESS AND CONDITION OF

THE U. 8. NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR THE

YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1910.

By Richard Rathbun,

Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution,

in charge of the U. S. National Museum.

INCEPTION AND HISTOHY.

The Congress of the United States, m the act of August 10, 1846,
founding the Smithsonian Institution, recognized that an opportunity
was afforded, in carrying out the large-minded design of Smithson,
to provide for the custody of the museum of the Nation. To this
new estabhshment was therefore intrusted the care of the national
collections, a course that time has fully justified.

In the beginning the cost of maintaining the museum side of the
Institution's work was wholly paid from the Smithsonian income;
then for a number of years the Government bore a share, and during
the past three decades Congress has voted the entire funds for the
expenses of the Museum, thus furthering one of the primary means
''for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men" without
encroaching upon the resources of the Institution.

The museum idea was inherent in the establishment of the Smith-
sonian Institution, which in its turn was based upon a ten years'
discussion in Congress and the advice of the most distinguished
scientific men, educators, and intellectual leaders of the Nation of
seventy years ago. It is interesting to note how broad and com-
prehensive were the views which actuated our lawmakers in deter-
mining the scope of the Museum, a fact especially remarkable when
it is recalled that at that date no museum of considerable size
existed in the United States, and the museums of England and of the
continent of Europe were still to a large extent without a developed
plan, although containing many rich collections.

The Congress which passed the act of foundation enumerated as
within the scope of the Museum "all objects of art and of foreign
and curious research and all objects of natural history, plants, and
geological and mineralogical specimens belonging to the United
States," thus stamping the Museum at the very outset as one of the

8 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

widest range and at the same time as the Museum of the United
States. It was also fully appreciated that additions would be
necessary to the collections then in existence, and provision was made
for their increase by the exchange of duplicate specimens, by dona-
tions, and by other means.

If the wisdom of Congress in so fully providing for a museum in
the Smithsonian law challenges attention, the interpretation put upon
this law by the Board of Regents within less than six months from
the passage of the act can not but command admiration. In the
early part of September, 1846, the Regents took steps toward formu-
lating a plan of operations. The report of the committee appointed
for this purpose, submitted in December and January followdng,
shows a thorough consideration of the subject in both the spirit and
letter of the law. It would seem not out of place to cite here the very
first pronouncement of the board with reference to the character of
the Museum:

"In obedience to the requirements of the charter,* wdiich leaves
little discretion in regard to the extent of accommodations to be
provided, your committee recommend that there be included in the
building a museum of liberal size, fitted up to receive the collections
destined for the Institution. * * *

''As important as the cabinets of natural history by the charter
required to be included in the Museum your committee regard its
ethnological portion, including all collections that may supply items
in the physical history of our species, and illustrate the manners,
customs, religions, and progressive advance of the various nations of
the world; as, for example, collections of skulls, skeletons, portraits,
dresses, implements, weapons, idols, antiquities, of the various races
of man. * * * jj^ ^\^[q connexion, your committee recommend the
passage of resolutions asking the cooperation of certain public func-
tionaries, and of the public generally, in furtherance of the above
objects.

"Your committee are further of opinion that in the Museum, if
the funds of the Institution permit, might judiciously be included
various series of models illustrating the progress of some of the most
useful inventions; such, for example, as the steam engine from its
earliest and rudest form to its present most improved state; but this
they propose only so far as it may not encroach on ground already
covered by the numerous models in the Patent Office.

"Specimens of staple materials, of their gradual manufacture, and
of the finished product of manufactures and the arts may also, your
committee think, be usefully introduced. This would supply oppor-
tunity to examine samples of the best manufactured articles our coun-

gress, the use of the word "charter" in this connection was not correct.

try affords, and to judge her gradual progress in arts and manu-
factures. * * *

"The gallery of art, your committee think, should include both
paintings and sculpture, as well as engravings and architectural de-
signs; and it is desirable to have in connexion with it one or more
studios in which young artists might copy without interruption, being
admitted under such regulations as the board may prescribe. Your
committee also think that, as the collection of paintings and sculpture
will probably accumulate slowly, the room destined for a gallery of
art might properly and usefully meanwhile be occupied during the
sessions of Congress as an exhibition room for the works of artists
generally; and the extent and general usefulness of such an exhibition
might probably be increased if an arrangement could be effected with
the Academy of Design, the Arts-Union, the Artists' Fund Society,
and other associations of similar character, so as to concentrate at the
metropolis for a certain portion of each winter the best results of
talent in the fine arts."

The important points in the foregoing report are (1) that it was
the opinion of the Regents that a museum was requisite under the
law, Congress having left no discretion in the matter; (2) that eth-
nology and antliropology, though not specially named, were yet as
important subjects as natural history; (3) that the history of the
progress of useful inventions and the collection of the raw materials
and products of the manufactures and arts should also be provided
for; (4) for the gallery of art the committee had models in existence,
and they proposed, pending the gathering of art collections, which
would of necessity be slow, to provide for loan exhibitions by coop-
erating with art academies and societies.

In the resolutions which were adopted upon the presentation of the
report, a museum was mentioned as "one of the principal modes of
executing the act and trust." ^ The work was to go forward as the
funds permitted, and, as is well known, the maintenance of the
museum and the library was long ago assumed by Congress, the
Institution taking upon itself only so much of the necessary responsi-
bility for the administration of these and subsequent additions
to its activities as would weld them into a compact whole, which
together form a unique and notable agency for the increase and diffu-

^Resolved, That it is the intention of the act of Congress establishing the Institution,
and in accordance with the design of Mr. Smithson, as expressed in his will, that
one of the principal modes of executing the act and the trust is the accumulation
of collections of specimens and objects of natural history and of elegant art, and the
gradual formation of a library of valuable works pertaining to all departments of
human knowledge, to the end that a copious storehouse of materials of science, litera-
ture, and art may be provided which shall excite and diffuse the love of learning
among men, and shall assist the original investigations and efforts of those who may
devote themselves to the pursuit of any branch of knowledge.

10 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

sion of knowledge, for tlie direction of research, for cooperation
with departments of the Government and with universities and
scientific societies in America, and likewise afford a definite corre-
spondent to all scientific institutions and men abroad who seek inter-
change of views or knowledge with men of science in the United
States.

Since that early day no material change has been suggested in the
general scope of the Government Museum; it has only remained to
elaborate the details, and the opportunity is now at hand to realize
all that the first board had in view, since ample space has become
available.

The development of the Museum has naturally been greatest in
those subjects which the conditions of the past sixty years have made
most fruitful — the natural history, geology, ethnology, and arche-
ology of the United States, supplemented by many collections from
other countries. The opportunities in these directions have been
mainly brought about through the activities of the scientific and
economic surveys of the Government, many of which are the direct
outgrowths of earlier explorations, stimulated or directed by the
Institution. The Centennial Exhibition of 1876 afl'orded the first
opportunity for establishing a department of the industrial arts on a
creditable basis, and of this the fullest advantage was taken, though
only a part of the collections then obtained could be accommodated
in the space available.

The department or gallery of the fine arts had made little progress,
though not from lack of desire or appreciation, until within the past
four years, during which its interests have been markedly advanced,
as elsewhere explained.

Another subject to which much attention has been paid with satis-
factory results is American history, illustrated by objects repre-
senting distinguished personages and important events as well as the
domestic life of the country from the colonial period to the present
day.

It is gratifying to note that the new building has now been so far
completed as to permit of taking up the work of readjusting the
collections, whose systematic arrangement has for many years been
impossible through lack of sufficient space. To this large structure,
specially erected for their accommodation, the collections of zoology,
geology, ethnology, and archeolog}^ are being rapidly transferred,
making available for the arts and industries the entire older build-
ing and a part of the Smithsonian building.

With its collections thus distributed between the three buildings,
all fireproof and of substantial construction, the National Museum
may be expected to enter upon an era of renewed prosperity and
usefulness.

KEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 11

"VMiile it is the primary duty of a museum to preserve the objects
confided to its care, as it is that of a hbrary to preserve its books
and manuscripts, yet the importance of pubhc collections rests not
upon the mere basis of custodianship, nor upon the number of
specimens assembled and their money value, but upon the use to
which they are put. Judged by this standard, the National Museum
may claim to have reached a high state of efficiency. From an
educational point of view it is of great value to those persons who
are so fortunate as to reside in Washington or who are able to visit
the Nation's capital. In its well-designed cases, in which every detail
of structure, appointment, and color is considered, a selection of
representative objects is placed on view to the public, all being
carefuUy labeled individually and in groups. The child as well as
"the adult has been provided for, and the kindergarten pupil and the
high-school scholar can be seen here, supplementing their classroom
games or studies. Under authority from Congress, the small colleges
and higher grades of schools and academies throughout the land,
especially in places where museums do not exist, are also being aided
in their educational work by sets of duplicate specimens, selected
and labeled to meet the needs of both teachers and pupils.

Nor has the elementary or even the higher education been by any
means the sole gainer from the work of the Museum. To advance
knowledge, to gradually extend the boundaries of learning, has been
one of the great tasks to which the Museum, in consonance with the
spirit of the Institution, has set itself from the first. Its staff, though
chiefly engaged in the duties incident to the care, classification, and
labeling of collections in order that they ma}'' be accessible to the
public and to students, has yet in these operations made important
discoveries in every department of the Museum's activities, which
have in turn been communicated to other scholars through its
numerous publications. But tlie collections have not been held for
the study of the staff nor for the scientific advancement of those
belonging to the establishment. Most freely have they been put at
the disposal of investigators connected w^ith other institutions, and,
in fact, without the help of many such the record of scientific progress
based upon the material in the Museum would be greatly curtailed.
Wlien it is possible to so arrange, the investigator comes to Wash-
ington ; otherwise such collections as he needs are sent to him, whether
he resides in this country or abroad. In this manner practically
every prominent specialist throughout the world interested in the
subjects here well represented has had some use of the collections,
and thereby the National Museum has come to be recognized as a
conspicuous factor in the advancement of knowledge wherever civili-
zation has a foothold.

OPERATIONS OF THE YEAR.

' APPROPRIATIONS.

The maintenance and operations of the National Museum for the
year covered by this report, namely, from July 1, 1909, to June 30,

The general deficiency act approved June 25, 1910, also contains
two items relatmg to the Museum, one authorizing the installation
of an ice plant from an existing appropriation, the other appropriating
funds for certain work in completing the new building and its sur-
roundings. These items are as follows:

"Out of the unexpended balance of the appropriation for 'Preser-
vation of collections. National Museum,' for the fiscal year nineteen
hundred and ten not exceeding the sum of two thousand five hundred
dollars is authorized to be expended during the fiscal years nineteen
hundred and ten and nineteen hundred and eleven for purchase and
installation of an apparatus for the manufacture of ice for use of
the National Museum."

BEPORT OF NATIONAL. MUSEUM, 1910. 13

"For the completion of the new building of the United States
National Museum and its surroundings, namel}", the construction of
roads and walks, grading and sodding, construction of a waterproof
granolithic platform along the outer walls of the building, and the
painting of the interior walls of the building, to be expended under
the direction of the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, seventy-
seven thousand dollars."

BUILDINGS.

New building. — At the close of the year the entire exterior of the
new building had been completed, with the exception of the broad
steps leading to the main entrance, on which work was then in progress.
Much still remained to be done in the interior of the south pavilion,
including both the auditorium on the ground floor and the rotimda
above, but the main part of the building lacked only certain minor
features of construction and had been wholly in the possession of
the Museum during the greater part of the year.

The abandonment of the rented buildings at the end of the previous
year had made it necessary to move their contents, comprising large
and valuable collections, to the new building in May and June, 1909.
This material was placed in several of the exhibition halls where
the floors had been laid and in one of the open courts, affording an
excellent opportunity for overhauling and assorting a large part of
the specimens. On August 10, 1909, occupation of the third story,
which is divided into rooms for laboratories, reserve collections, and
offices, was obtained from the superintendent of construction,
although at that time the story was improvided with doors, and
temporary expedients had to be adopted for the protection of such
property as was first moved. On November 9, following, the remain-
ing stories of the main building were turned over to the Museum,
and while constructive work of a subordinate character continued
to be carried on during most of the rest of the year, it can not be
said to have materially interfered with Museum operations.

The mechanical plant was completed in ample time to meet the
requirements of themnter season, the boilers being put into permanent
service on October 15, 1909, and soon demonstrating their efficiency.
The heating system in the new building is by means of hot water.
Steam connections with the other buildings, through the medium of
an underground tunnel, were effected on November 3, and since then
all of the heating of the Smithsonian group of structures on the Mall
has been provided from the new plant. Electrical connections with
the generators of the plant by means of cables also running through
the tunnel, and finished in June, 1910, cover the same area.

Certain minor, though important, mechanical and electrical fittings
have likewise been supplied. In view of the combustible nature of
parts of the collection, an effective fire system has been provided,

14 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

consisting of alarm boxes of essentially the same pattern as those
used by the city, and of fire extinguishers, and many lengths of hose
kept attached to fire plugs. There may also be mentioned a series of
call boxes throughout the building, from which the watchmen turn
in their signals to the central office during each of the night rounds,
and a comprehensive vacuum cleaning plant, with pipes leading to all
parts of the building. A very complete system of electric wire con-
duits was included in the building construction, and the more necessary
of these were wired in the same connection. Nearly all of the light-
ing fixtures required on the ground floor and third floor have been
installed, and the hanging of the ceiling fixtures in the exhibition halls
was well advanced before the close of the year.

As explained in previous reports, the new building, erected for the
natural history collections, contains four full stories, in addition to
which a large part of the attic space is available for storage. The
two middle stories are designed wholly for the public exhibition of
specimens, while the lower story, with the exception of one exhibition
hall, and the third story are arranged for the laboratories, the storage
of the reserve collections, the offices, the mechanical plant, and the
workshops.

In the matter of furnishing, preference has been given to the
ground and third stories over the exhibition stories, in order that the
laboratories and the mass of the collections might be moved as soon
as possible, and the scientific staff be established in the new building
where its members could more conveniently work out the somewhat
difficult problems which confront them in planning and arranging the
exhibition collections under the greatly improved conditions now
offered as to amount and character of space. The furniture for these
two floors, except the tables and chairs, will be almost wholly of steel
or steel covered. Excellent designs for the several patterns of cases
required were secured, and in view of an extensive competition the
prices have been kept at a relatively low figure. Some cases had been
constructed during the previous year, but the work was much more
actively continued during the past one, in view of the larger appropria-
tion available. On account of the special patterns and of the excel-
lent quality of work demanded, it was not to be expected that con-
tracts could be promptly filled, but the results have been extremely
satisfactory. The pains taken with this subject not only redounds
to the profit of this Museum, but will be helpful to museums generally
throughout the country, since the national establishment is looked
upon as a sort of central bureau for supplying information and advice
in matters of museum equipment and operation. As it was not
feasible to await the completion of all or of any considerable part of
the metal furniture, wooden cases from the older buildings were
largely made use of in the beginning, being replaced from time to

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 15

time as the fireproof furnishings were received. The construction of
exhibition furniture for the new building has thus far been hmited,
the current needs ha^'ing been mostly supplied from the older build-
ings, but during the present year it will be actively taken up.

The moving of the natural history specimens from the older build-
ings was begun on August 11, 1909, and could readily have been fin-
ished within the year had the necessary furniture been on hand. As
it was, such of the laboratories and reserve collections as were trans-
ferred were at once installed in their new quartei-s, however adverse
the conditions might be. In respect to some divisions, however, the
accommodations were so incomplete that no changes were attempted.
The only exhibitions installed consisted of certain ethnological groups
and historical cases arranged in the middle hall and adjacent ranges,
in conjunction with the paintings of the National Gallery of Art, as
described under that head. All other exhibition collections taken
over were temporarily stored in their old cases.

The reserve collections transferred either wholly or in greater part
were of the following subjects: Ethnology, prehistoric and historic
archeology, physical anthropology, mammals, birds, insects, mol-
lusks, geology generally, minerals, fossil vertebrates and inverte-
brates, and paleobotany. Those still remaining in their old quarters
consisted of the reptiles and batrachians, fishes, marine invertebrates,
and plants. The division of plants, for which sufficient space is not
available in the new building, will be accommodated in the upper
story of the main part of the Smithsonian building.

The exhibition collections destined for the new building, which
at the close of the year were still displayed in the halls which they
have hitherto occupied, comprised the birds and marine invertebrates
in the Smithsonian building; and the American mammals, osteo-
logical specimens, invertebrate and plant fossils, minerals and gems,
a considerable part of the collection of applied geology, the material
illustrating historic religions and some branches of ethnology, in the
older Museum building. The other exhibits in the latter building,
including history, technology, art fabrics, ceramics, graphic arts,
medicine, musical instruments, etc., will be kept there permanently.

The removal of collections and laboratories included the abandon-
ment of the entire double north tower of the Smithsonian building
above the main floor, thus relinquishing several suites of excellent
rooms to which the Bureau of American Ethnology was transferred
in December, 1909.

A supplemental appropriation by Congress made near the close of
its last session provided for two important matters in connection with
the new building. One of these was the grading of the grounds about
the building and the construction of roads and paths leading to its
entrances. The other was the painting of the interior walls, required

16 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

as much for the hardening of the plaster as for the apphcation of color
to relieve the extensive white surfaces.

Other huildings. — The repairs put upon the older buildings were of a
varied character, being such as are constantly necessitated bj dete-
rioration through wear and tear and through the effects of the
weather. The outside stone steps at the main entrance of the Smith-
sonian building were redressed and reset; the old doors were replaced
by revolving doors, which will greatly improve the conditions as to
heating and the inroads of dust from the adjoining pavements; while
the worn floor of the vestibule was relaid with new stone, and the
walls and ceiling were painted. The large second story of this build-
ing having been allotted to the division of plants, it became necessary
to plan the changes and improvements required to meet the needs
of the extensive herbarium, which is already in excellent condition
for the transfer. This work, which includes the division of a part
of the hall into separate apartments, will be taken up at the begin-
ning of the new year.

In the interior of the older Museum building the principal repairs
and adaptations consisted of the painting of walls and ceilings, the
construction of macite partitions in furtherance of fire protection,
and the fitting up of a part of the southeast range for taxidermal
work, the older quarters in the south shed being inadequate for
present purposes. The painting and repair of portions of the roofs
and woodwork on the exterior of the same building constituted an
item of considerable importance. The transfer of the roughing-out
laboratory of physical anthropology to the stable building necessi-
tated the overhauling of a part of that building and the addition of a
ventilating stack and fans. The rooms in the south shed formerly
occupied as tin and electrical shops, which are now provided for in
the new building, were fitted up for certain kinds of preparators'
work in biology.

During the summer and autumn of 1909 the boilers and machinery
in the old Museum building were thoroughly overhauled, but in view
of the extension to this and the Smithsonian building of the heating
system from the new plant, as elsewhere described, the old boilers
will not be used, but kept in reserve.

The furniture and fixtures constructed or purchased during the
year were almost entirely for the new building. An enumeration
shows that there were on hand at the close of the year 2,406 exhibition
cases, 5,882 storage cases, and 2,649 pieces of laboratory and office
furniture.

COLLECTIONS.

The number of specimens received during the year was approxi-
mately 970,698, of which 933,998 were biological, 17,979 geological,
and 18,721 anthropological. This very large nominal increase over
the receipts for any previous year, embraced in 1,450 accessions,
resulted from the fact that the number of insects alone transmitted
by the Bureau of Entomology of the Department of Agriculture
amounted to not less than 800,000 specimens. A detailed list of the
accessions is given in the latter part of this report.

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.

Ethnology. — The additions to the ethnological collections compared
favorably, both in number and scientific value, with those of the pre-
vious year. An important accession, comprising 253 specimens, from
the Dyaks of Pasir River, southern Borneo, was received from Dr.
William L. Abbott. This material, added to the previous sendings
by the same collector, forms a noteworthy monument to his energy
and ability as an explorer. Another noteworthy collection, number-
ing 431 specimens, transferred by the United States Government
Board of Managers of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, consists
of objects brought together during a number of years by Dr. N. B.
Emerson, of Honolulu. The material illustrates the tapa-making
industries, the preparation of poi and other foods, canoe and house
building, and costumes and customs of the vanishing Kanakas, and
also includes many valuable archeological objects. A most important
contribution from the Department of the Interior, formerly constitut-
ing a part of the museum of the United States Bureau of Education,
comprises nearly 1,500 Eskimo specimens and 700 objects of art from
Japan and other foreign countries. Also worthy of mention are a
collection of brass ware, weapons, and ornaments from the Moros of
Mindanao, gathered by Chaplain Joseph Clemens, United States
Army; a number of native objects from British East Africa, including
weapons, musical instruments and other articles, obtained by the
Smithsonian African Expedition; examples of basketry from Java,
contributed by Mr. Owen Bryant ; a valuable series of textile materials
illustrating the folk art of the country, from the Cecho-Slav Museum
at Prague, Bohemia; and a number of rare Indian baskets from a cave
in the Santa Barbara National Park, California, obtained through the
Forest Service. A summary of all the collections received shows
that 43 were from America, 6 from Europe, 3 from Japan, 3 from
China and eastern Asia, 7 from the Philippine Islands, 5 from the
East Indies, 8 from Polynesia and 6 from Africa.

General work on the collections was mainly connected with their
transfer to the new building. The large mass of material which for
71245°— NAT Mus 1910 2

many years has been held in storage in rented quarters was carried
over in bulk, unpacked and cleaned, sorted and placed in trays or
otherwise cared for. The exhibition series was in large measure
removed in trays and boxes, and such cases as were portable were re-
paired and renovated to again receive the collections in the new halls.
Satisfactory progress was made in the revising of the card catalogue.

In the latter part of the winter a portion of the exhibition collec-
tion was temporarily installed, in connection mth the paintings of
the National Gallery of Ai't, in the middle hall of the new building,
for the opening which occurred on March 17. Several exhibits
recently received from the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific Exposition were
also utilized for that occasion. At the close of the year there remained
in the old Museum building the contents of certain wall cases in the
west hall, and of a large number of the floor and wall cases in the
north-west and west-north ranges, and in the northwest court and
gallery.

The curator, Dr. Walter Hough, continued his investigations on
the use of incense by the Indian tribes of the Western Hemisphere;
on the basketry and textile art of the Pueblo tribes; on the distribu-
tion of gray ware in the Pueblo region; on the relation between the
Mexican and Pueblo cultures, and on the Museum-Gates collection of
1905. In response to a suggestion made to the Consular Bureau of
the Deprrtment of State that the Smithsonian Institution and
National Museum be included in the curriculum of consular educa-
tion, a class of 25 recently appointed consuls was instructed by
Dr. Hough in the subject of anthropology on July 29, 1909.

Prehistoric archeology. — The accessions in this division exceeded in
number those of the previous year and furnished material of excep-
tional scientific value. Of particular importance was a collection
from Argentina, forwarded by Dr. Juan B. Ambrosetti on behalf of
the Museu Ethnografico, Universidad Nacional de Buenos Aires, in
exchange for North American material. It includes stone mortars
and pestles, metates and mullers, hammer stones, grooved stone axes,
hatchets, stone disks, stone beads, flakes of flint and obsidian, bone
implements and ornaments, shell objects, implements and objects
of wood, bronze implements and ornaments, and a representative
series of earthenware vessels including large burial urns, bowls,
pitchers, jars, dishes, etc., many with painted decorations. The
collection is especially valuable for purposes of comparison with
analogous relics of antiquity in North America.

A noteworthy collection obtained by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, of the
Bureau of American Ethnology, under the auspices of the Department
of the Interior, from the "Cliff Palace," Mesa Verde National Park,
Colorado, consists of grooved stone axes (one with the original
handle), notched axes, hammer and polishing stones, paint stones,

EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 19

beads, disks, drilled pendants, thin stone slabs for grinding paint,
grooved sharpening stones, flint blades and arrow points; bone
implements and ornaments including chisels, scrapers, punches, etc.,
many awls made from bones of deer and wdld turkey, and a number
of cylindrical beads; wooden shafts and planting sticks, ceremonial
tablets, fli-e sticks, prayer sticks, and withe handles for stone axes;
earthenware bowls, ladles, jars, mugs, cups, dishes, etc. Another
collection of kindred material was secured by Dr. Fewkes for the
Bureau of American Ethnology from the ruins of the Marsh Pass
region, Arizona, in 1909. It comprises grooved stone hammers or
sledges, pitted stones, polisliing stones, stone mortar, knives of flint
and quartzite, and flint arrow points; an earthenware strainer, and
fragments of coiled ware vessels and of painted and gray ware with
designs in red and black. A third North American collection, con-
sisting of ancient Pueblo earthenware, was donated by ]Mr. Stephen
Janis, superintendent of the Navaho Indian Reservation, Tuba City,
Arizona. Noteworthy examples are ollas and bowls of gray ware
with geometric decorations in black and red; others are embellished
with volutes and other figures in relief, and one jar is of coiled ware.
Senator H. C. Lodge presented a Porto Rican stone collar of massive
type, oval in shape and embellished with sculptured figures. A
collection of much interest from Honduras and Guatemala, including
numerous articles of stone, copper, and clay, was lent by ^Ir. A. H.
Blackiston, of Cumberland, I\Iaryland. Of special note are copper
bells of varied pattern, vases elaborately decorated in glyphic designs
and symbolic devices, and figures of animals and men modeled in
clay.

The members of the staff of the division were mainly occupied
during most of the year in preparations for and in the actual removal
of the collections from the Smithsonian building to the new building,
and considerable headway had been made in the work of installation
in the new quarters by the end of June. The cataloguing and mark-
ing of recent accessions was kept up in the usual manner.

During the early part of the year the head curator of the depart-
ment, Mr. William H. Plolmes, was engaged in the study of the stone
implements of the collection, in continuation of his work on an ex-
haustive monograph intended for publication by the Bureau of
American Ethnology, but later his time was entirely taken up with
matters connected with the removal of collections. Mr. A. V. Kidder,
of the Peabody Museum of Archeology, Cambridge, Massachusetts,
examined the collection of pottery obtained by Dr. Fewkes at the
"Cliff Palace," Mesa Verde National Park. Although no field work
was undertaken by the division, the explorations and excavations
in the Pueblo region, by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, of the Bureau of
American Ethnology, were important for the Museum; and Mr. J. D.

20 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

McGuire's researches in the vicinity of Mount Kineo, Maine, resulted
in a valuable collection of stone implements and rejectage of imple-
ment-making, which Mr. McGuire presented to the Museum through
the Bureau of American Ethnology.

Historic archeology. — Among the collections received and assigned
to this division were the following: Egyptian bronze figurines of
Osiris, Isis, and Horus, usJiahti figurines of faience, pottery vases,
pieces of mummy cartonage and a box of wheat grains, lent by Mr.
A. PI. Blackiston, of Cumberland, Maryland; and 30 specimens of
Turkestan pottery of the eleventh and fourteenth centuries, obtained
by exchange from the Musee d'Anthropologie et d'Ethnographie de
Pierre le Grand, St. Petersburg, Russia. Of objects of religious art
and ceremonial were models of the Salt Lake Mormon Temple and
Tabernacle, presented to the Museum by the Church of Latter Day
Saints of Jesus Christ, through its treasurer and commissioner at the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, Mr. George D. Pyper; a model in
wood of the Russian Church at Sitka, made under the supervision of
the Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, and a model of the Santa Barbara Mis-
sion, California, constructed under the supervision of the head curator,
both for the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific Exposition and transferred to the
Museum by the United States Government Board of Managers; a
model of a Hindu temple, made from the pith of the cork tree, from
the Rev. William E. DeRiemer; 19 liturgical books used in the
Russian Church in Alaska, the gift of the Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff;
and a Catholic reliquary and six religious medals, lent by Mrs. G.
Brown Goode.

Pending the removal of the collections to the new building, little
work was done on the exhibition series. A small number of objects,
not heretofore shown, was installed in the Egyptian section, and some
labels were prepared and printed. At the close of the year, the
Egyptian and a large part of the Assyro-Babylonian and Hittite col-
lections had been transferred, but there still remained in the old
building the entire series of objects of recent religious art. Studies
were made of the ancient potteries, with a view to their arrangement
under the new conditions.

Physical anthroj^ology . — Of the accessions received by this division,
which were numerous and of exceptional value, the most important
was that of the Egyptian remains, which, through the courtesy and
generosity of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, Dr. Ales
Hrdlicka, curator of the division, was enabled to make in connection
with the extensive excavations that are being conducted by that
Museum. The value of this collection is greatly enhanced by the fact
that every specimen is well identified chronologically. Other note-
worthy accessions were about 100 Indian skulls, with other bones,
from Newport, Madison, and Marked Tree, Arkansas, obtained and

REPORT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 21

presented by Mr, Clarence B. Moore, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania;
16 skulls, received in exchange from Prof. David Paul von Hansemann,
Rudolf Virchow-Krankenhaus, Berlin, Germany; 6 casts of ancient
human and primitive Australian crania, obtamed by purchase ; a cast
of an ancient human lower jaw, known as "the Heidelberg jaw," the
gift of Prof. Otto Schoetensack, of Heidelberg, Germany; 20 human
skulls, transferred from the Ai-my Medical Museum through Maj. T. T.
Russell, United States Ai-my, curator; 25 brachycephalic skulls of
Czechs, received in exchange from Prof. J. Matiegka, of Prague,
Bohemia; 28 negro skulls, from the Smithsonian African Expedition;
6 specimens of articulated hands and feet, through exchange with
Prof. Gustav Schwalbe, University of Strassburg, Germany; a large
number of anatomical specunens presented by Prof. F. P. Mall, of
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore; a skeleton of an Australian
native, in exchange with the Western Australian Museum and Art
Gallery, Perth, Australia; the skull of a Flathead Indian and 2
head-flattening pillows, donated by Capt. Newton Chittenden, Brook-
lyn, New York; 23 important anatomical preparations, contributed
by Dr. D. S. Lamb, of the Ai-my Medical Museum, Washington; and
two collections of valuable anatomical material, presented, one by
Dr. Robert Bennett Bean, the other by Dr. Winsor, both of the
Pliilippine Medical School, Manila.

This division was one of the fii"st to move into the new Museum
building, and since September attention has mainly been given to
fitting up the laboratories and rearranging and relabeling the collec-
tions. A considerable amount of material has been brought together
preparatory to installation in the exhibition cases now provided in the
laboratory. The series of Indian busts on general exhibition has been
increased by the addition of five new casts made in the Museum.

Investigations were concluded b}^ the curator on the Arkansas and
Louisiana crania presented by Mr. Clarence B. Moore, and the results
pubhshed by the Academy of Sciences of Philadelpliia. Measure-
ments of the capacity of these crania have been made and await elabo-
ration. A very important collection of Esldmo skulls and skeletons,
fonvarded by the American Museum of Natural History, was studied
and the report submitted to that Museum. Some progress was made
toward the completion of investigations on the humerus in the differ-
ent races, and a large amount of work was done on the report concern-
ing the ancient and modern inhabitants of the Oasis of Kharga,
Egypt. An account of two Texas crania was furnished the Bureau
of American Ethnolog}', and detailed measurements of certain south-
ern California Indian skuUs were sent to Dr. P. Rivet, Laboratoire
d' Anthropologic, Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. On April 1,
1910, the curator sailed for Argentina, South America, to conduct

22 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

examinations regarding the antiquity of man in that country, and at
the close of the year satisfactory progress had been made.

Technology. — The most important addition to this division was a
collection received from the Navy Department, consisting of 82 rifles,
carbines, and muskets, which had been kept as an historical exhibit
at the League Island Navy Yard, Philadelphia, for several years.
A few of the most interesting examples are typical pieces from the
Virginia Manufactory, Richmond, Virginia, of dates 1816, 1818, and
1819; a musket from the Palmetto Armory, Columbia, South Caro-
lina, 1852; several Harpers Ferry muskets, including the rare Ply-
mouth pattern of 1858; a Whitney ville rifle of 1863; a rare breech-
loading rifle made by A. H. Waters & Co., Milbury, ]\Iassachusetts ; a
standard United wStates Arm}^ rifle altered by the Confederate Govern-
ment and stamped "Cook and Brother, Athens, Georgia, 1864;" a
Potsdam musket of 1833; Tower muskets and carbines of various
lengths and calibers, some of early dates ; and good examples of Colt,
Sharps, Wliite, and Maynard arms. Two sets of aerodynamic models
in wood, devised by Dr. Albert F. Zahm in 1903, in the laboratory of
the Catholic University of America, Washington, District of Colum-
bia, and employed by him for determining the atmospheric resistance
of symmetric spindles and wedge-shaped models, and the best form of
hulls for motor balloons and flying machines, have been deposited by
Dr. Zahm. A number of interesting sundials designed and con-
structed by Mr. Claude L. Woolley, of Baltimore, Maryland, and pre-
sented by him, are especially instructive as showing the dift'erent
forms of dials adapted to the latitude of the Panama Canal Zone,
8° 57' north, Washington, District of Columbia, 38° 55' north, and
Nome, Alaska, 64° 30' north. ]\fr. Woolley has also contributed a
vertical sundial adapted to tlie latitude of Boston, 40° 21' north, and
a noon mark to be used in any latitude. A model likewise received
from him represents a rare dial known as the reclining cross type,
which is made for the latitude of New Orleans, 29° 55' north, and
bears the inscription, "Aspiciendo senescis."

A pin machine, the gift of the Howe Manufacturing Company,
Derby, Connecticut, invented by Dr. John Ireland Howe in 1835, is
said to be the first successful machine constructed for automatically
making complete pins. It was put in operation by this company in
1838, was kept in service until about 1865, and had a capacity of 60
pins a minute. Models of the unarmored protected cruiser Atlanta
and the armored cruiser Pennsylvania were deposited by the Navy
Department. A most noteworthy and valuable collection of 153
chronometers and watches, comprising many superior, full-jeweled,
and finely finished timepieces, the productions of the best makers ot
their time, American and foreign, was donated by Dr. Thomas Feather-
stonhaugh, of Wasliington, District of Columbia. Sixty-four articles,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 23

embracing Japanese astronomical instruments, electrical apparatus,
microscopes, surveying instruments, and standard mechanical gauges,
and 208 small wooden models of agricultural implements of primitive
and advanced designs, were transferred from the museum of the
United States Bureau of Education. One hundred and thirty-three
objects, comprising ancient matchlock, wheel-lock and flintlock guns
and pistols, a large number of East Indian and Filipino swords,
daggers, and knives, and several more modern arms, were lent by
Mrs. Charles W. Hickman, of Augusta, Georgia. The collection con-
tains many specimens which are not only superior as effective weap-
ons, but also remarkable for their artistic design.

All of the material belonging to this division which had been taken
from the Ninth Street annex and the armory shed to the new Museum
building for overhauhng in the spring of 1909 was carefully exam-
ined, classified, and scheduled. Every box was opened, ever}^ speci-
men inspected, and an accurate record of each was made. In April,
1910, following the completion of this task, it was moved over to the
old Museum building, in which the division will remain, as many of
the objects as possible being placed in the exliibition cases available.
With few exceptions, the accessions of the year have also been put
on exhibition. No extended investigations were undertaken by
members of the staff, but many persons from outside have made use
of the collections, either for research or for purely practical ends.

Ceramics. — Among the additions to the ceramic gallery, which were
very few, the following loans may be mentioned: Three fine exam-
ples of yellow Chinese porcelain to the valuable collection of Mss
E. R. Scidmore, of Washington; 19 specimens of Hispano-Moresque
and Brower ware, and other objects of mterest, from Miss Julia Chad-
wick, of Washington; 4 examples of cloisonne enamel, a cinnabar
lacquer box, and an ancient Roman terra-cotta head, from the estate
of Olive Risley Seward, through Miss Sara Carr Upton, executrix; a
lacquered vase presented to Dr. James Chadwick by the Emperor
of Japan, from Mr. Robert Hinckley, of Washington; an ''Apostle"
pitcher, from IVIrs. Mary C. Blandin, of Glenarm, Maryland; and 46
pieces of old English china formerly belonging to the Haswell and
Plimpton families of Vermont and Massachusetts, from Miss Kath-
erine Noyes, of Washington. The Olive Risley Seward collection
was rearranged and labeled by Miss Upton.

GrwpJiic arts. — Many examples of reproductions by new processes,
both of black and white and of color prints, were received during the
year. A mezzotint of John Randolph, by Sartain, presented by ^Ir.
David Sulzberger, of Philadelphia, is an important contribution to
the historical series of engravings, being a representative example
of the work of this noted American engraver. Among the additions
in photography were two exquisite portraits of a lady, in platinum,

24 EEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

and four remarkable portraits of a girl, on Royal Nepera paper, pre-
sented by the Eastman Company, of Rochester, New York. There
is now assembled an excellent collection to illustrate the history of
photography from the earliest period to the present time, which it is
expected to prepare and install during the current year. It includes
both apparatus and pictures, and contams many rarities.

Musical instruments. — The following were among the additions to
this section: Tliree Japanese musical instruments — a treble guitar,
direct bass flute, and fiddle — obtained by the late Mrs. James M. Flint
in Yokohama and presented by Dr. Flint; a series of drawmgs,
tracings, and notes relating to violins, their manufacture, dimensions,
and characteristics, both old and new, collected by Mr, Gilbert
Thompson and donated by Miss A. G. Thompson, of Washington; a
melodeon made in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, by William Pierce, prior
to 1863, formerly the property of Dr. Theodore F. Hance, and con-
tributed by his estate, through his daughters, the Misses Emma and
Eleanor W, Hance, of Washington; a "marimba" of the most recent
type, used by the natives of Yucatan, presented by Mr. Emil Mosonyi.

Medicine. — This division acquired a number of surgical instru-
ments, cases of medicine, microscopic slides, and other interesting
material.

History. — The accessions received by this division contained much
that is noteworthy. A collection of 38 pieces of table porcelain
bearing the insignia of the "Society of the Cincinnati," made in
Cliina for David Townsend, of Massachusetts, in 1790, was lent by
Mr. Thomas Gerry Townsend. Accompanying it is the diploma of
membership of David Townsend in the Society of the Cincinnati and
a letter from Samuel Shaw, dated 1790, relating to the procurement
of the china. A number of personal relics of Rear Admiral Charles
Wilkes, United States Navy, were deposited by his daughter, Miss
Jane Wilkes, of Washington, including a handsome jeweled sword
presented by the city of Boston in 1862, a gold medal conferred by
the Royal Geographical Society of London in 1848, a service sword,
hat, epaulets, and other articles used by the admiral, then a lieuten-
ant, during his command of the United States Exploring Expedition
of 1838-1842. Many personal memorials of the distinguished astron-
omer Simon Newcomb, bequeathed by him to the United States
Government for exhibition in the National Museum, were deposited
by Mrs. Newcomb, though possessing the right to retain them dur-
ing her life. The collection embraces the uniform and sword of
Prof. Newcomb, who had the rank of rear admiral in the United
States Navy, two orders of the Legion of Honor of France, various
gold and bronze medals and tablets, a large jasper vase on a black
marble pedestal presented by the Observatory of Poulkova, Russia,
a pair of bronze vases from the Imperial University of Tokyo, and

HEPORT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 25

118 diplomas and announcements of honor conferred by universities
and other learned bodies for distinction in science, A portrait in oil
of Prof. Newcoiiib, by C. H. L. Macdonald, has been placed tem-
porarily in the Museum by Mrs. Newcomb. The uniform coat worn
by Admiral Farragut while lashed to the rigging of the ship Hartford
during the battle of Mobile Bay, August 4, 1864, was presented by
Mrs. Pauline Philip Lapidge, of Rockville Center, New York; and a
silver snuffbox given by President Millard Fillmore to his wife in
1862 was donated by ^Irs. Florence A. Rockwell Judd, of New York
City.

The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America added,
among other objects, to its collection of relics deposited in the
jMuseum a silver baptismal basin which was sent from Holland in
1694 to the first Dutch church on Manhattan Island. The heirs of
Mrs. Virginia L. W. Fox presented the Gustavus Vasa Fox collection
of books illustrating Russian life and history. Printed, for the most
part, in the Russian language, these works are remarkable for their
handsome bindings and exceedingly fine engravings. Mrs. Julian
James, of Washington, added to her loan collection 51 pieces of silver
and glassware and two miniatures belonging to the Bailey-Myers-
Mason family, and a sword belt and scabbard. Sixteen American
historical paintings by Trumbull, Charles Willson Peale, Rembrandt
Peale, and other noted artists were lent by Dr. George Reuling, of
Baltimore, Maryland. A portrait in oil of Dr. Edward Maynard, by
his son, George W. Maynard, of New York City, was presented by
the artist. Seven handsome silver trophies, won in rifle competition
by the ^Marine Corps of the United States Navy, and a silver cup, won
by a boat crew of the marines of the U. S. S. Illinois, were received on
deposit. Five pieces of silver — two punch bowls, two cups, and one
pitcher — presented to the late Gen. Henry C. Corbin by his fellow
army officers in 1901, were lent by Mrs. Corbin.

An especially noteworthy accession was a bronze tablet 7 feet wide
by 14 feet high, showing life-size relief figures of Edward F. Beale
and Kit Carson, and commemorating an incident of the war with
Mexico, which is explained in the inscription on the tablet as follows:
"The army sent from Santa Fe to occupy California was met and
defeated by the Mexicans at San Pasquale. The American forces
were driven upon a butte in the desert, on which there was no water,
and there surrounded by the Mexican forces. Edward F. Beale and
Kit Carson, both famous explorers of the West, volunteered to get
through the Mexican lines and get reinforcements from Stockton's
fleet at San Diego. They succeeded in crawling past three cordons
of Mexican sentries in the night, and by hiding in ravines in the day
and travelling by night they reached Stockton's fleet after enduring
great hardships." This tablet, which is of high artistic design, was

^6 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910

executed by Mr. Isidore Konti on a commission from the Hon.
Truxton Beale, son of Gen. Beale who at the time of this episode was
an acting heutenant in the Navy. Mr. Beale has happily selected
the new building of the National Museum as an appropriate place for
the tablet, which has been installed on one side of the north entrance
vestibule, and was informally unveiled on May 31, 1910, in the pres-
ence of members and friends of the family, brief remarks being made
by Senator George C. Perkins.

A large model in plaster and a perspective drawing of Andrew
O'Connor's competitive design for the Commodore Barry monument
was presented by Mr. Jeremiah O'Connor, of Washington. One of
the four sledges with which Commander Robert E. Peary, United
States Navy, reached the North Pole on April 6, 1909, and also a
pick and pair of snowshoes, were contributed by Mr. H. L. Bridgman,
of New York City.

Among gifts to the collection of coins and medals were 24 papal
and other medals from Mr. Joseph Pagani, of Washmgton; 38 Vene-
tian and Byzantine coins from Georgius Constandenethos, of Brook-
lyn, New York ; and a set of the nine official medals and two badges
struck in commemoration of the Hudson-Fulton celebration in New
York City in 1909, from the Hudson-Fulton Celebration Commission.

To the collection of portraits were added 88 photographs of persons
mostly connected with the history of the Smithsonian Institution, the
gift of Dr. Theodore Gill, and over 300 photographs of members of
the Medal of Honor Legion of the United States, presented by the
Legion through Mr. Walter Thorn, commander.

Other accessions worthy of mention were a valuable set of casts of
cameos of classical subjects, photographs of prominent educators, and
photographic copies of old maps, transferred by the United States
Bureau of Education; maps, facsimiles of treaties, photographs of
early newspapers, portraits of historic personages, and various inter-
estmg objects illustrating the history of the Pacific coast and the
Hawaiian and Philippine Islands, being part of the Smithsonian
exhibit at the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific Exposition, transferred by the
United States Government Board of Managers.

The collection of Washington relics and the Copp collection of
colonial relics were moved in March to the new building, where they
were temporarily installed at the north end of the middle hall as a
part of the exhibition opened on the 17th of that month. They will,
however, be restored to their places in connection with the general
historical collections when the necessary arrangements have been
effected.

Anthropological laboratory. — The activities of the departmental
laboratory were, as heretofore, confined largely to work in plaster and
to repairing and poisoning specimens. The commodious quarters in

REPOET OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 27

the new building were occupied early in the year and progress has
been made in classifying and properly caring for the large body of
duplicate casts and molds and in installing the fittings. The labora-
tory is in charge of IMr. Henry W. Hendley, assisted hj Mr. Joseph
Palmer, modeler. Although the work is much diversified, the services
of Mr. Hendley being frequently called for by other departments,
much of the time has been devoted to modelmg and casting Indian
busts, casting fossils, medals and archeological objects, and repaii'ing
and otherwise caring for the numerous lay figures and lay-figure
groups.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY.

The largest and most noteworthy accession of the 3'ear in the
department of biology was that received from the Smithsonian African
Expedition, under the direction of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, of which
an account is given under the head of explorations. The collection
is especially rich in mammals and birds from east Africa, though
other groups are well represented. The United States Bureau of
Fisheries made several large and important transfers, consisting
mostly of material which had been studied and described, and includ-
ing many types. Another important source of material was the expe-
dition to Java by Mr. Owen Bryant, of Cohasset, Massachusetts,
accompanied by IVIi'. William Palmer, of the Museum staff. The
collection, in which the Museum shares equally with Mr. Bryant,
represents a wide range of subjects.

Mammals. — Besides the material from Africa and Java, above
referred to, the more noteworthy additions of mammals comprised 200
specimens from Cliina, of wliich the majority of the species represented
were new to the Museum, collected by Mr. Arthur de C. Sowerby;
139 specimens from eastern Borneo, collected and presented by Dr.
W. L. Abbott; and 30 specimens, including a rare monkey and a
giraffe from the type localities of the species, donated by Mr. John J.
White, of Wasliington, District of Columbia, by whom they were
obtained during a hunting trip in British East Africa. Twenty-three
interesting Australian mammals were received in exchange from the
Western Australian Museum and Art Gallery at Perth.

During the first nine months of the year the work of this division
was chiefly of a routine character, and much progress was made in
arranging and labeling the skulls of rats, mice, and bats, and the skins
of several genera of rodents, of which there are large series. In April,
1910, the general reserve collection was moved to the new building,
where it now occupies the entire ground floor of the northwest range,
and the mammal collection of the Biological Survey, the adjacent
west range. The increased space and facilities in these quarters
permit a thorough overhauhng of the material and a careful systematic

28 EEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

arrangement was at once commenced. All of the primates, carniv-
ores, ungulates, edentates, marsupials, and monotremes have been
placed in order, and at the close of the year it was possible to promptly
locate any particular specimen belonging in these groups, or all of the
specimens of any of them. The type specimens, of wliich the number
is exceedingly large, have been arranged in the bottom tier of cases on
the north side of the range where they are most accessible and can be
examined under the best conditions as to light. The work of getting
the more extensive orders of small mammals, especially the rodents,
in proper sequence was also begun, but there are so many of these that,
even with what has been accomplished in previous years, some time
must still elapse before tliis task can be completed. The rabbits,
however, have already been arranged.

Many boxes which had long been stored in the rented buildings were
unpacked, the skins distributed to their proper places in the laboratory
and the skulls and skeletons set aside for adding to the osteological
collection, which, together with the specimens in alcohol, still remains
in the old building. Eighty-five skins were made up and 65 old
mounted skins dismounted for addition to the reserve series. Forty-
six skeletons and 6,538 skulls were cleaned for study, and 11 skeletons
were roughed out preparatory to cleaning. Much work was done in
comiection with the mammals from the African expedition, especially
in unpadding, inspecting, and cataloguing specmiens, and preparing
material for taiming.

The head curator of the department of biology. Dr. Frederick W.
True, completed Ms description of the Museum collection of beaked
whales, family Ziphiidse, of which the proof was read before the close
of the year. He also identified a large collection of the bones and
teeth of mammals from the shell-heaps of Hancock County, Maine,
on which subject he has a paper well in progress. The curator of the
division, Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, jr., practically finished his work on the
large European collections mentioned in the last report, and spent
considerable time in classif3dng material recently acquired from Java,
the Philippine Islands, China, and Africa. Some papers bearing on
these studies were published, while others are still in press. Dr. M.
W. Lyon, jr., before his resignation to accept a position elsewhere in
Washington, had made considerable progress with his report on the
Abbott collection of mannnals from Borneo, which he expects soon to
finish. Mr. N. Hollister, his successor as assistant curator, besides
publishing the three articles mentioned in the bibliography, continued
work on a monograph of the muskrats, which he commenced before
entering the Museum service. Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, United States
Army, studied the cottontail rabbits, of which he described a new
form.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 29

Mr. Edmund Heller, on his return from Africa in the spring, was
assigned the difficult task of working up the entire mammal collection
from the Smithsonian expedition, which will occupy liis time for
perhaps two years or more. While still in the field he forwarded
several papers descriptive of new species, which were immediately
published by the Institution and Museum. Dr. D. G. Elliot, of New
York City, examined the collection of monkeys and lemurs for infor-
mation to be used in coimection with a monograph of the primates
which he is preparing. Mr. W. H. Osgood, of the Field Museum of
Natural History, who is writing a report on the African mammals in
that museum, studied the older African collections here.

Birds. — The principal accessions of birds, as of mammals, were
from east Africa and Java. Next in importance was a collection
from Polynesia, made by Dr. C. H. Townsend during one of the early
Pacific cruises of the Bureau of Fisheries steamer Albatross, of which
he was then the naturaUst. It comprises 391 specimens and about 85
species, many of which are new to the Museum or were previously
represented only by old and faded specimens dating back to the
United States Exploring Expedition of 1838-1842. The types of
three species of swiftlets (Collocalia) are included, and there is a good
specimen of the rare sandpiper, Aechmorliynchus cancellatus, which
has been reported as extinct. Thirty-nine birds and one nest from
East Borneo and the islands of the Java Sea, including a pheasant,
Polyplectron schleiermacTieri, new to the collection, were presented by
Dr. W. L. Abbott. There were two contributions of birds from the
island of Luzon, one of 64 specimens from Dr. H. C. Curl, United
States Navy, the other of 33 sldns and 2 eggs from Mr. D. B. Maclde,
of the Bureau of Agriculture, Manila. Mr. Henry D. Baker, American
Consul at Hobart, Tasmania, transmitted 24 Australian birds.
Thirty-four Chinese birds, including a pheasant, Orossoptilon tihet-
anum, were received in exchange from the Hon. J. E. Tha^^er, of Lancas-
ter, Massachusetts. In appreciation of work done by the Museum in
the identification of natural history material, the Peruvian Govern-
ment, through Dr. R. E. Coker, donated 47 skins and a few alcoholic
specimens, besides 33 eggs, including a number of interesting water
birds. One hundred and six African birds, chiefly from Mount
Ruwenzori, needed for comparison, were purchased.

Three hundred and eleven land and water birds from Vkginia,
mostly from Smith's Island, were contributed by the collector,
Dr. E. A. Mearns, Mr. J. H. Riley, and Mr. E. J. Brown. A fine
series of 1,319 eggs and five nests, including several rarities, which
had constituted the collection of the late Clarence H. Morrell, was
presented to the Museum by his sister, Mrs. Ethel Morrell Hooper, of
Exeter, New Hampshire, and three eggs of the rare Bachman's

30 EEPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910

warbler were donated by Mr. George C. Embody, of Cornell University.
Eleven birds of paradise were purchased for the exhibition collection.
Twenty-nine skins and five skeletons of birds were received from
the National Zoological Park. They included a male north African
ostrich, presented to President Roosevelt by Emperor Menelik of
Abyssinia, two examples of the Jahiru myderia, one of the whooping
crane, Grus mnericana, one of Burmeister's cariama, Chunga hur-
meisteri, one of the Timneh parrot, Psittacus timneh, and a rhea, Bliea
darwini. By transfer from the United States Biological Survey, 110
birds' eggs and three nests, chiefly from Mexico, were obtained.

The reserve collection of birds was moved to the new building in
August, 1909. The eggs had previously been transferred, but were
not permanently placed until in December of the same year. The
overcrowding of the skins in the old building had been so great that it
was found necessary to immediately order over 70 additional cases to
provide for a reasonable spreading of the collection, and soon there-
after half as many more to accommodate the current accessions,
including those from east Africa. Delays in securing all of the draw-
ers and fittings for the new cases, however, prevented the completion
of the arrangement of the specimens within the year.

Much work of a routine nature, in addition to the above, was put
upon the collection. During the earlier period of the ISIuseum and
before the present fine distinctions between species and varieties
were recognized, much material now known to be of exceptional
value was unfortunately included in the duplicate series which were
widely distributed. A careful examination of the older records, w^ith
the object of determining as far as possible the location of desired
specimens, has been going on for a considerable time, and some
important types have already been recovered. There has been the
customary amount of labeling and cataloguing, and identifications
were printed on 5,733 labels, including the remaining parts of Dr.
Abbott's collections. The specimens from all accessions of the year,
including the African and Javan expeditions, were catalogued. A
temporary assistant was employed for five months to help in the
record w^ork and the arrangement of specimens, but some time is still
required to cover all of the arrearages and place the collections and
records of the division on a thoroughly satisfactory basis.

The fifth volume of the manual of North American birds, by the
curator, Mr. Robert Ridgway, was completed except as to the family
of woodpeckers, and it is expected that the manuscript will be ready
for the printer by October, 1910. For examination in connection
with this work, 6,529 birds were borrowed from other institutions.
Dr. C. W. Richmond, assistant curator, added about 1,500 cards to
the catalogue of genera and species of birds. Mr. H. C. Oberholser
continued studies on the East Indian collections of Dr. Abbott. An

arrangement was made with Mr. A. C. Bent, of Taunton, Massachu
setts, who vohmteered to take up at liis own expense, the unfinished
work on the life histories of North American birds, so well begun by
Maj. Bendire and continued by Dr. Ralph. Mr. Bent examined the
unpublished manuscripts and notes on the subject preserved at the
Museum, and also made a trip to the Breton Island reservation.

Birds to the number of 503 were lent for study, the principal loan
having been made to Mr. W. E. Clyde Todd, of the Carnegie Museum,
who is preparing a revision of the ground doves of the genus CTiamse,-
pelia. Ornithologists who visited the ]\Iuseum and the material which
they examined were as follows: The late J. F. Ferry, of the Field
Museum of Natural History, Costa Rican birds; Mr. L. A. Fuertes,
of Ithaca, New York, the collection of pheasants, with a view to
making colored drawings of some of them for an illustrated mono-
graph of the group; Mr. B. H. Bailey, of Coe College, North American
and Asiatic birds; Mr. B. H. Swales, of Grosse Isle, Michigan, speci-
mens, records, and books for information relative to the birds of
^lichigan; Mr. Outram Bangs, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology,
Cliinese and other Asiatic birds, for the purpose of identifying Cliinese
specimens collected by the Thayer expedition; Mr. Thomas Barbour,
of the same museum, parrots from the West Indies and New Guinea;
^Ir. William Brewster, also of the same museum, the collection of
bitterns; Mr. Edward Arnold, of Detroit, the collection of birds'
eggs; Mr. John J. Boyce, of Juneau, Alaskan birds and eggs, especi-
ally of the genus BrachyrampJius.

Reptiles and hatracliians. — About 1,800 reptiles and batracliians
were received from the African expedition and about 600 from the
Bureau of Fisheries, a considerable part of the latter having been
collected in the Pliihppine Islands. Maj. J. M. T. Partello, United
States Army, presented 6 specimens, including a remarkable unde-
scribed hzard, from the Pliilippines, and Dr. W. L. Abbott, 13 speci-
mens, chiefly marine snakes, from Borneo. Mr. Arthur de C. Sowerby
transmitted 66 specimens from northern China. Dr. Ales Ilrdhcka
obtained 34 reptiles during his trip to Egypt, and Dr. V. Brazil sent
24 Brazilian snakes as a gift. The Museum of Comparative Zoology
furnished 16 cotypes of West Indian hzards, Anolis, in exchange,
while Mr. Thomas Barbour, of the same museum, donated 20 reptiles
and batrachians from various tropical locaUties, including an example
of the interesting Surinam toad, Pipa americana. Eighty-seven
specimens, mostly collected in Colorado by Mr. M. Cary, were received
by transfer from the United States Biological Survey. The Hon.
J. D. Mitchell, of Victoria, Texas, presented the type specimen of the
hzard Engystoma areolatum.

An important work of the year was the beginning of a card cata-
logue of specimens, for which special help was employed. The

contents of about 4,400 jars, containing about 15,000 specimens,
were entered in this way, the task involving the critical examination
by the curator of all the specimens and of the records relating to them.
The entire collection of North American batrachians and the majority
of the North American lizards were gone over in this manner before
the close of the year. On account of these routine duties, tlie curator,
Dr. Leonhard Stejneger, had little time for scientific investigations,
though some progress was made in his study of the herpetology of the
Philippine Islands.

Fishes. — The division of fishes received about 37,000 specimens.
The transfers from the United States Bureau of Fisheries were excep-
tionally large and valuable, representing important investigations
and containing many types. They may be summarized as follows:
A collection of 1,297 specimens from the expedition of the steamer
Albatross to the south Pacific Ocean in 1899-1900; over 1,285 spec-
imens from the Albatross expedition to the eastern Pacific Ocean in
1904-5; specimens from Lake Maxinkuckee, Indiana, and vicinity,
collected in 1899 and 1900; specimens from Ohio, Lake of the Woods
Basin, and the Panama Canal Zone; and miscellaneous collections
from various localities, aggregating about 28,000 specimens. About
100 specimens were received from the Smithsonian African Expedi-
tion, and many examples from the field work of Mr. Bryant and Mr.
Palmer in Java. A valuable series of several hundred specimens
collected in British Guiana by Dr. C. H. Eigenmann was obtained
in exchange from the Carnegie Museum. The International Fish-
eries Commission, through Dr. D. S. Jordan, contributed a collection
of white fish, trout, etc., from the Great Lakes; and the Gulf Bio-
logic Station at Cameron, Louisiana, presented the type and cotype
of Leptocerdale longipinnis. JMr. A. C. Weed, aid in the division,
while conducting investigations on the pickerel and allied forms at
Sodus Bay, Lake Ontario, prepared a well-selected series of the
fishes of that region for the Museum collection.

The routine work on the collection of fishes, which has now grown
to an immense size, was chiefly in the direction of placing it in such
condition that upon its removal to the new building, expected to
occur during the summer of 1910, it could be quickly arranged in
systematic order and made conveniently accessible for reference and
study. This has long been impossible in the old quarters, which are
both inadequate and unsuitable, and space vacated by other divisions
was temporarily assigned for the purpose. The sorting and sepa-
rating of specimens and groups, especially of types, and the marking
of the latter in a definite manner, has been a slow and difficult task.
In all cases, and they are many, where a particular specimen has
been designated as the type, this has been preserved apart even if
previously associated with other specimens from the same locality,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 33

a work which has required extended examination and will be appre-
ciated by all who may have occasion to consult the collection. Being
provided with distinctive labels, any type or group of types can be
readily found as soon as the new arrangement is completed. Spec-
imens to the number of 14,128 were entered in the record books, many
cards were added to the card catalogue, and many jars were labeled.

A collection of fishes from Vancouver Island, British Columbia,
was the subject of joint study by the assistant curator, Mr. Barton
A. Bean, and the aid, Mr. A. C. Weed, who also have in preparation
a new set of instructions for collecting and preserving fishes. Among
those who made use of the collections during the year were assistants
of the Bureau of Fisheries, Dr. Theodore Gill, and ]\lr. C. V. Burke,
formerly of Stanford University.

Insects. — The most important accessions of the year consisted of
transfers from the Bureau of Entomology of the Department of
Agriculture, including the following: A collection of insects inju-
rious to forest trees, mainly coleoptera of the family Scotytidge,
comprising some 800,000 specimens, assembled in connection with
the investigations on forest insects which have been carried on
by the bureau for a number of years; 5,000 miscellaneous insects
collected at Tampico, Mexico, by Mr. E. A. Schwarz; about 200
specimens of coleoptera, identified by ^Mr. A. L. Montandon; 500
microlepidoptera, and 200 bred parasitic hymenoptera. About 400
specimens of sawflies, of which many are types and paratj^pes, were
presented by Mr. S. A. Rohwer, of the Bureau of Entomology; 406
named Tasmanian coleoptera were received as a gift from Mr. H. D.
Baker, American consul at Hobart; some 500 specimens of miscel-
laneous insects were contributed by the Washington Biologists' Field
Club; and about 1,000 Japanese coleoptera were obtained in exchange
from ^Ir. John D. Sherman, jr., of Brooklyn, New York.

The division of insects was moved to the new building in August,
1909, and occupies the entire northwest range on the third floor,
with the exception of two rooms. The new quarters are far more
commodious than the old and much better adapted to the needs of
the division. Additional metal cases and drawers of the improved
form were provided, and the transfer of specimens to them has been
going on as rapidly as practicable. Much more remains to be done
in this direction, however, and considerable time will be required to
place the material already on hand in proper shape for reference.
Most progress has been made with the lepidoptera, coleoptera,
hymenoptera, and hemiptera. The number of drawers used in
making transfers of lepidoptera alone was 700, and the cards neces-
sary for locating their contents were also WTitten. With the assist-
ance of several temporary preparators eight collections, containing
many thousands of specimens, were mounted and labeled.

34 KEPOBT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

A joint monograph on the mosquitoes, family CuHcidae, by Dr.
L. O. Howard, curator, Dr. Harrison G. Dyar, custodian, and Mr.
Frederick Knab, of the Bureau of Entomology, was completed. Mr.
J. C. Crawford, assistant curator, continued his studies of the hymen-
optera. An important jniblication by Mr. Nathan Banks, custo-
dian, consisted of directions for collecting and preserving insects,
issued as a bulletin, which replaces the well known work by Prof.
C. V. Riley, now become in large part obsolete.

Insects to the number of over 9,000 were borrowed by specialists
during the year, the more important loans having been as follows:
Bees and wasps to Dr. H. T. Fernald, of Amherst, Massachusetts,
who is working up the genus Bomhus and the subfamily Aporinte;
bees of the genus Ceratina to Mr. H. S. Smith, and flies of the family
Sarcophagidfe to Mr. W. R. Thompson, both of the Gipsy Moth
Parasite Laboratory, Melrose Highlands, Massachusetts; and hemip-
tera of the subfamily Triozinas to Mr. C. F. Baker, of Pomona College.
There were also sent to Mr. William Schaus, at London, England,
for study and comparison, a selection of about 5,000 butterflies
from the important collection which he has presented to the Museum.
Among persons not connected with the Museum who spent more
or less time in the study and examination of the collections of
insects may be mentioned Mr. Nicolas Kourdumoff, of the Univer-
sity of Kief, Russia; Dr. T. F. Dreyer, of Cape Town, South Africa;
Dr. Arthur Neiva, of the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Bra-
zil; Mr. W. S. Regan, of the Massachusetts Agricultural College;
Prof. J. B. Smith, of Rutger's College; Mr. W. R. Thompson and Mr.
H. S. Smith; Dr. Carroll Fox, of the Hygienic Laboratory, Washing-
ton; Mr. C. R. Ely, of Wasliington; and Mr. A. B. Gahan, of College
Park, Maryland.

MoUusks. — The most noteworthy addition of the year was a collec-
tion of about 1,000 land shells from the Smithsonian African Expedi-
tion, obtained chiefly on the slopes of Mount Kenia by Dr. E. A.
Mearns. Although the number of species is not large, it is thought
that, coming from a region not previously explored, a good propor-
tion may be new. The Philippine Bureau of Science transmitted for
identification a collection of land and fresh water shells, from which a
series is to be retained by the Museum, and Father Antonio Arnalot,
of Davao, Mindanao, contributed over 400 mollusks, also from the
Philippines. Cotypes of 41 species of Australian mollusks were pre-
sented by Dr. J. C. Verco, of Adelaide, South Australia; and a set of
Peruvian shells, including the types of three new species, collected by
the Hon. Hiram Bingham, was obtained through Dr. L. J. Cole, of the
University of Wisconsin, in return for assistance in the naming of
material. During a journey in Mexico Mr. C. R. Orcutt, of San Diego,
California, secured a number of interesting land shells, several not

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. '35

previously described, representatives of all of which were donated by
liim to the Museum. The Geological Survey of Canada, through Dr.
JohnMacoun, contributed a series of mollusks, including cotypes of 16
new species, dredged in Barclay Sound, Vancouver Island. Types of
new species and other specimens from the coast of California were
presented by Miss J. M. Cooke, Dr. Fred Baker, Mr. C. W. Gripp, Mrs.
E. E. Johnston, and Dr. R. H. Tremper. Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Oldroyd,
of California, long-time contributors to the Museum, transmitted very
acceptable material at various times during the year. A miscellane-
ous collection of shells, chiefly European, was received from Lieut.
Col. L. Worthington Wilmer, of Ryde, England, to whom the Museum
has also become indebted for many past favors.

The entire collection of the division of mollusks, to which the
third story of the west range had been assigned, was moved to the
new buildmg in August, 1909. The study or reserve series has
already been arranged in new metal cases specially constructed
for the purpose, but the exhibition series remains in the condition
as transferred, awaiting the determination of a plan for its enlarge-
ment and installation on a more comprehensive basis than hereto-
fore.

About 5,300 lots of specimens were catalogued, labeled, and added
to the reserve series. The Philippine collection, mainly from the
Albatross explorations of 1910, is gradually being cleaned and made
ready for study, and much progi'ess has been made in preparing
the west American material with the view of monographing the
faima. In the preliminary work of sorting the dry Philippine
specimens about 29,000 labels were %\Titten. From deep sea dredg-
ings, chiefly by the vessels of the Bureau of Fisheries, there has
accumulated a large amount of fine material from the ocean bottom
in different parts of the world. While consisting chiefly of the
remains of the lowest forms of life, such as foraminifera, this material
also contains immense numbers of small and even minute mollusks.
The sorting out of the specimens is a slow and tedious task, in which
something has been done from year to year. With special assistance,
however, 90 lots of the material were completely and carefully
gone over during the past year, with the result of obtaining not
less than a quarter of a million specimens, representing a great
number of interesting and mostly new species. Many specimens
of mollusks from the western coast of America as far north as Alaska,
principally obtained during the expeditions of the steamer Albatross
and those of Dr. Dall, were cleaned and prepared for incorporation
in the study series of dried specimens. About 8,000 catalogue
cards were written, representing partly the beginning of a revised
catalogue of the reserve collection, and partly a species catalogue
of Philippine moUusks.

36 REPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

A monograph of the molhiscan fauna of the northwest coast of
America, for which Dr. Dall has been gathering specimens and
data for 45 years, has now been taken up, the material having accumu-
lated and been arranged to such an extent as to permit of its being
systematically studied. Dr. Dall completed a review of the genus
Conus as represented on the west coast of America and conducted
various minor investigations on the land shells of Mexico and Peru.
Dr. Paul Bartsch continued his work on the east African collection
of Col. Turton, which has been interrupted by other duties but
will now soon be finished. He also WTote a few short papers on
small west American species. The monograph of the Pyramidellid
mollusks of the west coast of America, by Messrs. Dall and Bartsch,
the completion of which was announced in the last report, w\as
issued as a bulletin in December, 1909. As an instance of the
stimulation such publications afford to research in the line to which
they relate, it may be mentioned that, since the distribution of the
work, some 25 new species not included in it have been discovered
and forwarded to the ]\Iuseum by west coast collectors.

Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan, of the Geological Survey, the Hon.
T. H. Aldrich, of Birmingham, Alabama, and Miss Julia Gardner,
of Johns Hopkins University, have had free access to the collections
for the prosecution of their paleontological investigations on the
Tertiary formations of the eastern United States. Mr. G. D. Hanna,
of the Geological Survey, conducted researches on the anatomy
of the small land shells of the District of Columbia and of some
Philippine marine shells, which were made the subject of a paper.
Mr. J. B. Henderson, jr., of Washington, spent much time at the
Museum working up the marine mollusks from off the southeastern
coast of the United States, where he has made extensive deep sea
collections by dredging. Miss M. C. Breen continued her studies
of the mollusks of the District of Columbia, spending one or two
days each week during the greater part of the year with a view
to preparing a thesis for a doctorate degree. Dr. H. A. Pilsbry,
Mr. Bryant Walker, Mr. H. W. Clapp, and Mr. F. N. Balch consulted
the collections at various times. The demands on the division
from correspondents for the identification of specimens have been
especially great.

Marine invertebrates. — Among the accessions to the division of
marine invertebrates Avere several important transfers from the
Bureau of Fisheries, as follows: Opliiurans, or brittle stars, to the
number of over 7,000 specimens, from the cruises of the steamer
Albatross in Japanese waters in 1900 and 1906, identified by Dr.
Hubert L3^man Clark, and constituting part of the material used by
him in preparing the monograph of the North Pacific Ophiuroidea now
being published by the Museum; 20 species, represented by 235

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 37

specimens, of sea urchins, of the family Echinothuridse, forming
the type set of the specimens on which was based the recent mono-
graph by Dr. Alexander Agassiz and Dr. H. L. Clark, published by
the Museum of Comparative Zoology; 166 specimens of alcyonarian
corals from the Albatross explorations m the northwestern Pacific
Ocean in 1906, worked up by Prof. C. C. Nutting, of the University
of Iowa; 64 lots of parasitic copepod crustaceans from various
localities, comprising an important part of the material used by Dr.
C. B. Wilson, of N'orthampton, Massachusetts, in his articles on this
group now in course of publication by the Museum; about 200 speci-
mens of isopod crustaceans collected by the steamer Albatross in
the Philippine Islands in 1907-8 and identuied by Dr. Harriet Rich-
ardson ; a small collection of pycnogonids from the Albatross expedi-
tion of 1904-5 to the eastern Pacific Ocean, named by Dr. L. J.
Cole, of the University of Wisconsin. With the last was a large
number of unidentified pycnogonids from various sources.

An especialh^ noteworthy accession, received from Mr. J. Stanley
Gardiner, of the Museums, Cambridge, England, consisted of 806
specimens of crustaceans, representing 245 species, which had been
collected by H. M. S. Sealarlc in the western Indian Ocean in 1905.
The importance of this addition arises from the fact that the region
was previously very poorly represented in the Museum, while the
collection contains the types of 34 species and 3 new subspecies,
together with 3 new genera, besides many other species now obtained
for the first time. This is the first set of specimens and was presented
in consideration of the services of Lliss Rathbun, assistant curator, in
working up the entire collection of crustaceans from this exploration.

The Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France, through Prof.
E. L. Bouvier, contributed 30 specimens representmg 23 species of
isopod crustaceans, obtained by the exploring vessels Travailleur and
Talisman in the eastern Atlantic and European waters. Ten species
of sea-pens, Pennatulidae, from Japan and the Mediterranean, were
received in exchange from the Zoologische Sammlung des Bayer-
ischen Staates, Munich, Bavaria. Mr. Owen Bryant presented the
second set of jelly fishes, comprising 16 species, collected during his
cruise to Labrador in 1908. Seventy microscopic sUdes of British
hydroid zoophytes and 48 sUdes of rotifers from difTerent regions
were purchased. Through exchange some especially interesting
parasitic worms w^ere secured from Dr. Frederick Fiilleborn, of Ham-
burg, Germany, and Prof. A. E. Shipley, of Cambridge University,
England. The collection of the Smithsonian African Expedition
contained over 400 specimens of crustaceans and worms from British
East Africa and Aden, the most important beuag examples of several
fresh-water crabs, Potamonidw, from the mountams of east Africa.

38 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

On account of lack of sufFicient space, it has been impossible to
accomplish much in the direction of separating and preparing the
extensive reserve and unstudied collections, many of which have
been stored for a long time in inconvenient places, preparatory to
their removal to the new building. The corals not on exhibition have,
however, been transferred. The dried sponges, which have been
distributed in several places, were segregated on one of the galleries
in the mam Smithsonian hall, w^hile another gallery was fitted up as a
temporary laboratory for work on the extensive collection of crinoids.
Through the temporary employment of several persons, more than
the customary amount of routine work was accomplished. One such
person of the grade of aid made considerable progress in the sorting
of miscellaneous material. The others were engaged in recording
and cataloguing, a work which, by force of circumstances, has fallen
greatly in arrears and should be brought up to date as soon as possi-
ble This was done during the year for the identified specimens of
crustaceans, bryozoans, tunicates, and ophiurans.

Through an oversight, the last report failed to make mention of
the investigations conducted by the staff of this division during
1908-9, which are therefore mcorporated in the following summa-
tion for the past year. Miss M. J. Rathbun, assistant curator, com-
pleted her studies on the crabs collected in the Gulf of Siam by Dr.
Th. Mortensen, of Copenhagen, and in the Indian Ocean by H. M. S.
Sedlark on the Percy Sladen Trust Expedition of 1905 under Mr. J.
Stanley Gardiner, The report on the former is in course of pubh-
cation in the memoirs of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences, while
that on the latter will appear in the Transactions of the Linnean
Society of London. Other investigations finished by Miss Rathbun are
incorporated in a report on the decapod and stomatopod crustaceans
of the coast and fresh waters of Peru, collected by Dr. R. E. Coker
and submitted to the Museum by the Peruvian Government for
working up, now being printed m the Proceedings of the National
Museum; in a paper on a small collection of decapod crustaceans
obtained by Mr. Thomas Barbour in the Dutch East Indies, British
India, and Japan in 1906-7, to be published in the Bulletm of the
Museum of Comparative Zoology; and in an account of the decapod,
scliizopod, and branchiopod crustaceans contained in the large
collection of natural history secured by Mr. Owen Bryant during his
Labrador trip of 1909, which will be published in the full report of
the cruise. The localities for each species of the collection last men-
tioned have already been given in a list of the crustaceans of Labra-
dor, which forms an appendix to Dr. Grenfell's recent book, entitled
"Labrador."

Mr. Austm H. Clark continued liis researches on the crinoids, and
has the first part of au extensive monograph of the group nearly

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 39

ready for publication. Besides the specimens in this Museum, he
has studied the collections of the Copenhagen University Museum,
the Australian Museum, the Berlin Museum, and the Indian Museum
at Calcutta, including those obtained by the German steamer Gazelle
and the Royal Indian survejdng steamer Investigator. Preliminary
papers have been published dealing with these various collections,
and also with certain points in the distribution, coloration, ecology,
and structure of these animals. In connection with, these investiga-
* tions, negotiations have been entered into \x\i\\ the Copenhagen
Museum, the Bergen Museum, the Berlin Museum, the Indian Museum,
the Australian Museum, and the Liverpool Museum, and \\4tli Prof.
Doderlein, of Strassburg, and Prof. Koehler, of Lyons, whereby the
National Museum will receive about 300 specimens, representing
some 50 species, most of which are new to the collection.

Dr. Harriet Richardson continued studies on the isopod crustaceans,
describing various new forms from the collections obtained by the
United States Fish Commission between 1871 and 1887 on the north-
east coast of North America, until recently in the custody of Prof.
A. E. Verrill, and working up the specimens secured on the cruises
of the steamer Albatross to the northwestern Pacific Ocean in 1906
and to Philippine waters in 1907 to 1910. She also described the
isopods obtained by Dr. R. E. Coker in connection with fishery investi-
gations conducted for the Peruvian Government, a small collection
of terrestrial isopods from Costa Rica, collected by Dr. J. Fid. Tristan,
and the specimens from Mr. Owen Bryant's Labrador cruise, and
other sources.

Dr. J. A. Cushman, of the Boston Society of Natural History, com-
pleted a paper on two families of foraminifera of the North Pacific
Ocean, Astrorliizidse and Lituolidae, from the collection of the Museum,
which was placed in his hands some time ago for monographing.
Dr. N. Annandale, director of the Indian Museum, Calcutta, sub-
mitted a fourth paper on fresh-water sponges contained in the
National Museum collection. Dr. Hubert Lyman Clark, of the
Museum of Comparative Zoology, completed his work on the large
collection of ophiurans, or brittle stars, of the North Pacific Ocean,
which will appear as a bulletin of the Museum, and also furnished a
description of a new species from the West Indies. Dr. W. K.
Fisher, of Stanford University, submitted the first part of a mono-
graph of the starfishes of the North Pacific Ocean, descriptive of the
Museum collection, which comprises some 6,000 specimens. Dr.
Charles B. Wilson, of the State Normal School, Westfield, Massa-
chusetts, presented three more papers on parasitic copepod crus-
taceans, chiefly Lernaeopodidse and Ergasihdse. Dr. J. H. Ashworth,
of the University of Edinburgh, reported on the annehds of the
family Arenicolidae of North and South America, including an account

40 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

of Arenicola glacialis Murdoch. Prof. William E. Ritter, of the
University of California, spent some time at the Museum in the study
of the Atlantic ascidians, in preparation for his monograph of the
simple ascidians of the Pacific Ocean. Dr. E. A. Andrews, of Johns
Hopkins University, examined the shrimps of the family Eryonidae,
the anatomy of which he is investigating.

Over 315 lots of specimens of marine invertebrates were sent to 11
naturalists for study and examination, besides 1,100 microscopic
slides of foraminifera forwarded to Dr. J. A. Cushman. The prin-
cipal sendings were of Ostracoda and Cladocera, to Mr. R. W. Sharpe,
of Brooklyn, New York, who will report upon them to the Museum;
of amphipod crustaceans, to Dr. A. S. Pearse, of the University of
Michigan; of amphipods of the Connecticut coast, to Dr. B. W.
Kunkel, of the Sheffield Scientific School, who requested them for use
in a report for the State authorities; and of simple ascidians, to
Dr. W. E. Ritter.

With reference to the section of helminthological collections, it is
reported that Dr. B. H. Ransom completed a study of all known
species of nematode worms, about 50 in number, which are parasitic
in the alimentary canal of cattle, sheep, and other ruminants, based
chiefly on the material in the Bureau of Animal Industry collection.
Several of the species were found to be new. Mr. M. C. Hall, also
of the Bureau of Animal Industry, gave some attention to a new
species of tapeworm which infests the dog. Mr. Howard Crawley,
of the same bureau, described a species of Trypanosome common in
American cattle. Investigations by Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles related
mainly to the prevention of typhoid fever, and the hookworm and
alHed diseases. Dr. Joseph Goldberger, of the Hygienic Laboratory,
studied a number of flukes, or distomatous worms, from various
sources, among which he discovered some new species. A few loans
of parasitic worms were made, and some specimens from the collec-
tion were used for class demonstration at the Naval Medical School
and Georgetown University.

Plants. — The number of plants added to the National Herbarium
was 33,477, received in 374 accessions. Especially noteworthy were
several thousand specimens from the Smithsonian African Expe-
dition, mainly collected and prepared by or under the direct super-
vision of Dr. E. A. Mearns. The transfers from the Department of
Agriculture amounted to 3,371 specimens, furnished by the Bureau
of Plant Industry, the Biological Survey, the Forest Service, and
the Bureau of Entomology. Through the medium of exchange
over 8,000 specimens were received, the largest contributor in this
connection being the Bureau of Science at Manila (to the extent of
5,670 plants), followed by the New York Botanical Garden, the
Field Museum of Natural History, and the K. K. Naturhistorisches

EEPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 41

Hofmuseum at Vienna. Specimens numbering 3,256, all from North
America and mostly from the United States, were purchased.

Fifty steel-covered insect-proof cases, containing 1,200 pigeonholes,
were added to the equipment of the herbarium, increasing its comple-
ment of cases to 568 and of pigeonholes to 12,668, and for the first time
providing suitable accommodations for the entire herbarium. The
permanent collection now contains 385,374 specimens. The number
of specimens mounted was 51,500, being more than three times as
many as in the preceding year and more than twice as many as in any
year smce 1899 except 1904. Of this number, 48,000 were done by
contract. About 30,000 sheets were stamped, recorded, and dis-
tributed to their appropriate places, while about 16,000 mosses and
liverworts were also distributed or made ready for the herbarium.

Dr. J. N. Rose, associate curator, continued his studies of Mexican
and Central American plants, and also his investigations on the Cac-
tacese in collaboration with Dr. N. L. Britton, of the New York
Botanical Garden. Mr. W. R. Maxon, assistant curator, continued
work on North American ferns, and spent one month at the New York
Botanical Garden in that connection.

One thousand and thirty-eight plants were lent to botanists, the
principal loan consisting of Central American plants to Capt. J.
Donnell Smith, of Baltimore. The foregoing figures, however, are
exclusive of material borrowed by the botanists of the Department of
Agriculture. Among visitors to the Museum who came to examine
specimens the following may be mentioned, together Avith the subject
of their inquiry: Dr. Ezra Brainerd, of ^liddlebury, Vermont, the
violets, of which the herbarium contains a very large series; Miss
Alice Eastwood, of the California Academy of Sciences, California
plants; Mr. W. W. Eggleston, of New York, the genus Cratsegus;
Prof. J. W. Harshberger, of the University of Pennsylvania; Mr. E.
L. Morris, of Brooklyn, New York, the genus Plantago; Dr. P. A.
Rydberg, of the New York Botanical Garden, plants of northwestern
America; Rev. Dr. Julius A. Nieruwland, of the University of Notre
Dame, Indiana, Indiana plants; Dr. J. K. Small, of the New York
Botanical Garden, plants of North America; Miss Mary Wilkins, of
Washmgton, the subfamily Solanaceae. Members of the scientifix
staff of the Department of Agriculture consulted the herbarium fre-
. quently.

Explorations. — The most important exploration of the year and
the one from which the Museum profited most richly was that known
as the Smithsonian African Expedition under the direction of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt. This expedition was organized by Col. Roose-
velt, through whose invitation the Smithsonian Institution was
enabled to take part, with the understanding that by furnishing the
naturahsts and paying its share of the expenses, the collections

42 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

obtained should come into the possession of the National Museum.
The funds for the expedition on the part of the Institution were secured
entirely from private sources, and the great collections turned over
to the Nation as a result of the undertaking, essentially as a donation
from a few friends, compose one of the largest and most important
single gifts of natural history specimens ever received. As this mat-
ter has been fully treated in the report of the Secretary, only a brief
account of the expedition need be given here.

Col. Roosevelt was accompanied by his son Kermit. The natural-
ists designated by the Smithsonian Institution were Lieut. Col.
Edgar A. Mearns, surgeon, United States Army (retired), Mr. Edmund
Heller, and Mr. John Alden Loring. The itinerary, as reported by the
director, was briefly as follows: The party landed at Mombasa,
British East Africa, on April 21, 1909, and reached Khartum on
March 14, 1910. It was joined at Mombasa by Mr. R. J. Cuning-
hame, who remained with it throughout the entire trip, and by Mr.
Leslie J. Tarlton, who continued with the expedition until it left east
Africa, both of these gentlemen working zealously and efficiently
for the success of the expedition. Eight months were spent in British
East Africa. Collecting was carefully done in various parts of the
Athi and Kapiti plains, m the Sotik, and around Lake Naivasha.
Dr. Mearns and Mr. Loring made a thorough biological survey of
Mount Kenia, while the rest of the party skirted its western base,
went to and up the Guaso Nyero, and later visited the Uasin Gisbu
region and both sides of the Rift Valley. Mr. Kermit Roosevelt and
Mr. Tarlton visited the Leikipia Plateau and Lake Hannington, and
Dr. Mearns and Mr. Kermit Roosevelt made separate trips to the
coast region near Mombasa. The expedition left east Africa on
December 19, 1909, passed through Uganda, and thence down the
Wliite Nile. Over three weeks were spent in the Lado north of
Wadelai, and, crossing again into the Lado at Gondokoro, Colonel
and Kermit Roosevelt remained about 10 days in the neighborhood
of Redjaf. On the journey from Gondokoro to Khartum, which was
made in a steamer placed at the disposal of the party by the Sirdar,
collections were obtained at Lake No and on the Bahr-el-Ghazal and
Bahr-el-Zeraf. Col. Roosevelt speaks in the Avarmest terms of the
generous courtesy shown the expedition and the assistance freely
rendered, not only by the Sirdar, but by all the British officials in
east Africa, Uganda, and the Sudan, and by the Belgian officials in
the Lado.

It is impossible in this connection to give a complete inventory of
the specimens obtained, as the collections from Uganda and the Sudan
were not received until after the close of the fiscal year, and had not
been fully unpacked and assorted at the time of writing. In his
report, however, Col. Roosevelt gives the following tentative enumera-

EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 43

tion: Mammals, both large and small, 4,897; birds, about 4,000;
reptiles and batrachians, about 2,000; fishes, about 500; making the
total number of vertebrates about 11,397, The invertebrates include
insects; marine, land, and fresh-water mollusks; crustaceans; and
representatives of other groups. Several thousand plants were also
collected and a few anthropological objects.

It may be remarked that through this expedition the National
Museum has acquired a series of the large and small mammals of
east Africa, which, collectively, is probably more valuable than is
to be found in any other museum in the world. Its importance lies
not so much in the number of new forms as in the fact that it affords
an adequate basis for a critical study of the mammal fauna of east
Africa and the establishment or rejection of the large number of
forms which have been described, especially in recent years, from
insufficient material. The collection of birds is also noteworthy;
the plants should form the basis of a valuable report; the reptiles
and batrachians include large series of individuals of the same species,
and will be useful for studies of variation; and other parts of the
collection contain groups of specimens and single specimens of much
interest.

Mr. Owen Bryant, of Cohasset, Massachusetts, announced, in the
winter of 1908-9, his intention of spending a year or more in Java,
and offered, in case the Museum would detail a naturahst to accom-
pany him, to turn over to the Museum half of such collections as
might be obtained. In accepting this proposition, ]\Ir. WilHam
Palmer was assigned to the service and left Washington in January,
1909. Field work was carried on until last spring, and at the close
of the year both naturalists were on their way home. The collections,
which are elsewhere referred to and are important, were mainly
obtained at the western end of Java, about Buitenzorg and on Mount
Gede and other mountains. The series of mammals and birds,
wliich are the most extensive, are of great interest for comparison
with east Indian and Philippine specimens contributed by Dr. W. L.
Abbott and Dr. E. A. Mearns.

The only considerable biological expedition sent out by the Museum
itself was a botanical one under Dr. J. N. Rose, who was accom-
panied by IVIr. P. C. Standley and Mr. P. G. Russell. This party was
absent 10 weeks, during wliich it visited western Texas, southern
New Mexico, southeastern Arizona and western Mexico, and made a
very important collection of plants, comprising about 10,000 speci-
mens, including representatives of many undescribed species. The
head curator, Dr. True, spent a few weeks in collecting vertebrate
remains from the shell heaps in the vicinity of Penobscot Bay, Maine,
and secured material which, taken in connection with that obtained

44 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

in previous years, seems to indicate that the original mammal fauna
of the region differed somewhat from the present one. JVIr. A. C.
Weed, aid in the division of fishes, made a collecting trip to Sodus
Bay, New York, as explained elsewhere.

Preparation of speciTnens. — There has been necessity for some
changes in the shops used for the preparation of specimens of zoology,
due partly to the abandonment of the rented quarters south of the
Mall, and partly to the greatly increased amount of work to be pro-
vided for in building up the exliibition collections under the new
conditions. This was accomplished by assigning to osteology an
additional room in the shed south of the Smithsonian building, and
temporarily to taxidermy a part of the southeast range in the older
Museum building, which has been suitably inclosed.

One of the prmcipal problems of the year was the preservation
of the many large skins from the African expedition, which were
received in pickle but could not safely be allowed to remain long
in that medium. It was therefore decided to tan them, and, as the
Museum has no facilities for that kind of work, it was arranged to have
it done by contract. The results have so far been very satisfactory.

The work of the preparators is under the direct charge of the chief
of exhibits. Dr. James E. Benedict. With the changes inaugurated
during the year, the chief taxidermist, Mr. G. B. Tiu-ner, was relieved
of the miscellaneous work wliich has hitherto occupied much of his
attention, and he and his immediate assistants are now giving prac-
tica.lly all of their time to mounting for exhibition. Only one speci-
men from the African expedition, a cheetah, was completed for this
purpose, but a model in clay for a group of lions from the same collec-
tion was prepared. Among mammals from other sources mounted
were a takin or Chinese antelope, an African bush pig, a black leopard,
and a number of small Old World mammals needed to fill gaps in
the faunal series. The time of the bird taxidermist, Mr. N. R. Wood,
was fully taken up in the mounting and remounting of bird skins for
exhibition and the preparation of skins for the study series. In
osteology a large amount of work was also accomplished, including
the cleaning of skeletons and skulls, and the mounting of some skele-
tons for exhibition.

The exhihition collections. — Included m the moving from the older
buildings were the exhibition collections of mollusks, insects, fishes,
reptiles and batrachians, and Old World mammals, but as none
of the new halls could be fitted up in time, these exhibits were still
inaccessible to the public at the close of the year. The exhibits
remaining in the old quarters consisted of the bhds and marine
invertebrates in the Smithsonian buildmg, and the American mam-
mals and osteological specimens in the Museum building. The

REPORT OF NATIONAX. MUSEUM, 1910. 45

transfer of the mollusk cases from the middle of the bird hall has
greatly relieved the congestion there, and made it possible to so
arrange the cases containing bird groups as to much improve the
appearance and condition of the hall.

The space allotted for the exhibition collections of biology in the
new building comprises most of the western side of the building,
including the main and second stories of the western wing and
range and the second story of the northwest range. A complete
provisional arrangement of the various exhibits, even to the indi-
vidual cases, has been worked out, but it is subject to more or less
change. Its immediate importance is as a basis for the construction
of furniture. To temporarily meet the needs of installation, how-
ever, many old cases were taken from storage, and are being repaired
as far as necessary. Tlie mounted mammals which had been in stor-
age were critically examined, and the fish, reptile, and batrachian
molds and casts were being treated in the same way when the year
closed.

Distribution and exchanges. — Specimens were distributed for edu-
gational purposes or to be added to museum collections as follows:
Mammals to the Wisconsin School for the Deaf, and to the Museum
of the City of Portland, Oregon; birds to the Normal School, Wash-
ington, District of Columbia; fishes from the Albatross explorations
in the southern and eastern Pacific Ocean, to the Museum of Com-
parative Zoology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and fishes and marine
invertebrates to Muhlenberg College; insects to the British Museum,
the American Museum of Natural History, the Museum of the Brook-
lyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, and the University of Utah ; mol-
lusks to the Crane Technical High School, Chicago ; marine inverte-
brates of other groups to the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sci-
ences, the University of Iowa, Yale University Museum, and Leland
Stanford Junior University; and samples of ocean bottom to the
University of California.

The number of specimens used in making exchanges was small, the
largest sendings having been of insects to the extent of 1,281 speci-
mens, and of plants to the extent of 6,214 specimens. The principal
recipients of the latter were the New York Botanical Garden, the
Missouri Botanical Garden, and the University of Cahfornia. The
number of specimens of plants received by the Museum on account of
exchanges was 8,049.

Specialists not connected with the Museum obtained for study and
comparison about 10,800 specimens of animals and plants, exclusive
of marine invertebrates. A part of these transactions were initiated
by the Museum, in accordance with a long established policy, in order
to facilitate and hasten the classification of the collections, while in

46 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

other cases the material was requested as loans to aid in researches
which had been started elsewhere. In essentially all cases the work
is carried on gratuitously, the compensation, if any, consisting in the
gift of a set of duplicate specimens. When the investigations are
being conducted directly for publication by the Museum, the cost of
illustrations may be allowed.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGl.

Accessions. — This department received about 18,000 specimens, the
accessions being distributed among the several divisions as follows:
Systematic and applied geology, 63; mineralogy, 26; invertebrate
paleontology, 33; vertebrate paleontology, 26; paleobotany, 9.
Among the additions in systematic and applied geology may first be
mentioned a series of volcanic glasses from the island of Billiton and
from Australia, included under the names of billitonite, obsidianite,
and obsidian bombs, which are at present exciting considerable
interest on account of their supposed though unproven meteoric
nature. A small complete meteorite from McDufhe County, Georgia,
and fragmental portions of others from Ilvittis, Finland; Lampaf)
Chile, and Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania, were purchased. Sixty-one
rock specimens were obtained in exchange from the museum at
Colombo, Ceylon. The following were presented: Two large speci-
mens of magnesite from Porterville, California, by the Tulare Alining
Company; 62 specimens of rocks and ores from the mines at Mount
Lyell, Tasmania, by the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company;
a small series of drift rocks from the antarctic region, by Sir Ernest
Henry Shackleton; and a small but very interesting series of obsidians
from Iceland, by Dr. F. E. Wright.

The most noteworthy acquisition by the division of mineralogy was
a large series of type specimens of mercury minerals from Terlingua,
Texas, which had formed the basis of important chemical and crystal-
lographic investigations by Messrs. Hillebrand and Schaller, depos-
ited by the United States Geological Survey. Among specimens pur-
chased were fine examples of calamine, mimetite, calcite, niccolite,
sphalerite, crystallized carnotite, bloomstrandite, and alamosite.
The Dallas Mining Company, of Coalinga, California, donated a fine
showy specimen of the new gem stone, benitoite, associated with
neptunite; and the Rhodesia Museum, Bulawa3^o, South Africa, sent
in exchange two specunens of the rare minerals tarbuttite and hopeite
from the Broken Hill mines. Mr. F. P. Graves, of Doe Run, Missouri,
presented some fine amethystine calcite twins from that locality, and
Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, of the Museum staff, secured an interesting series
of sand barite crystals at Kharga, Egypt, during an anthropological
trip to the Lybian Desert in 1909.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 47

The principal accessions in the division of invertebrate paleontology
consisted of collections made by or under the direction ot Or. Charles D.
Walcott, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and by members
of the staff of the division. Of Cambrian fossils, extensive collections
were obtained by Dr. Walcott at various localities in Alberta, Canada,
during the summer of 1909, and later in Lawrence County, Pennsyl-
vania; in northeastern Utah by Mr. J. M. Jessup, in the same general
region by Mr. Eliot Blackwelder, and in Manchuria, China, by Dr.
J. P. Iddings, who secured over 6,000 specimens. All of this field
work, except that by Mr. Blackwelder, was conducted under the
auspices of the Institution, in the interest of the important investiga-
tions of this early geologic fauna, which has occupied the attention of
Dr. Walcott for many years. Of Ordovician and Silurian fossils about
3,000 specimens were collected in the Ohio Valley by the curator.
Dr. R. S. Bassler, and an important series in northeastern Utah, by
Mr. J. M. Jessup. Eocene fossils from Wilmington, North Carolina,
to the number of over 2,000, were received as a gift from Prof. B. L.
Miller, of Lehigh University. Other donations of which mention
should be made comprised Tertiary fossils from the Olympic penin-
sula of Washington, from Mr. Albert B. Reagan, of La Push, Wash-
ington; and Ordovician and Silurian fossils from the island of Anti-
costi, Canada, from the Yale University Museum.

Among the additions in the division of vertebrate paleontology were
a skull and lower jaw associated with other parts of the skeleton of a
Cretaceous crocodile, Leidyosuclius, from Kansas; a complete skull
and neck of Clidastes velox, from the same place; and a complete
skeleton of a small rhynchocephalian reptile, Homoeosaurus maximili,
from Germany. Mr. J. W. Gidley, of the division, under the auspices
of the United States Geological Survey, collected some important
mammalian remains in the Fort Union formation, near Fish Creek,
Sweet Grass County, Montana. These specimens are of rare scientific
value and, together with previous accessions from the same formation
and localitv, make the iluseum collection the best known of Fort
Union mammals in the world. A collection of turtle remains from the
Cretaceous of New Mexico, obtained by Mr. Gidley and Mr. J. H.
Gardner, also for the Geological Survey, comprise the type specimens
of eight new species.

The division of paleobotany received from the Geological Survey
the types and figured specimens of fossil plants described by Mr.
Arthur Hollick in Monograph 50 of the Survey, entitled ''The Cre-
taceous Flora of Southern New York and New England." Mention
should also be made of a large number of undescribed fossil plants
from Spitzbergen, presented by Mr. John M. Longyear, of Brookline,
Massachusetts, and of about 350 fossil plants from the Laramie and

General work on the collections. — Routine work on the collections
was subordinated to the transfer of the department to the new build-
ing, which was carried on as rapidly as the necessary cases could be
supplied. The material previously contained in the rented buildings
south of the Mall, consisting mainly of unassorted and unidentified
specimens, had been moved the year before and temporarily stored
on the floors and in rough shelters erected in the east court. The
work of overhauling, labeling, and cataloguing these and other
unstudied collections was taken up, and while good progress was
made, considerable time will still be required to complete this large
task.

By the end of the year all of the laboratories and shops, as well as
the office of the head curator, had been removed to the new building,
and also the following collections: The reserve and geographic exhibi-
tion series in applied geology; the exhibition series in systematic
geology; the entire collection of meteorites; the reserve and duplicate
series of minerals; the reserve and duplicate series in invertebrate and
vertebrate paleontology, except the Cambrian material on which the
Secretary is at work and which remains mostly in the Smithsonian
building; and a part of the reserve and duplicate series in paleobotany.
The fitting up of laboratories and the storage of material in the new
quarters were in various stages of adjustment, in some directions
approaching completion, but it was impossible to finish any part of
the new installation of exhibition collections, though this work is
rapidly progressing.

General work in the division of systematic and applied geology has
consisted almost wholly of the preparation of exhibition material, the
separation of duplicates and the copying of about 18,000 catalogue
cards on the standard size of card recently adopted. Early in the
year a thorough overhauling of the mineral and gem collections was
begun, the classification used by Dana in his System of Mineralogy
being adopted for their rearrangement. This work involves the num-
bering of a large quantity of specimens, the revision and amplifica-
tion of many labels, and the preparation of a new card catalogue.
Advantage is also being taken of the opportunity to separate the
duplicates from such material as is considered appropriate to retain
in the reserve series which, together with the exhibition series, has, so
far as the work has gone, been placed in exceptionally good condition
for study and reference. The mineralogical laborator}^ in the new
building is being furnished in a manner to provide for the more
convenient and detailed study of material than has been possible
heretofore.

EEPORT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 49

In the division of vertebrate paleontology excellent progress was
made in the preparation of material for both exhibition and study.
Over 250 separate bones of Stegosaurus remains were worked out. A
skeleton of Ceratosaurus nasicornis was made ready for final mounting,
while the mount of a Basilosaums was nearing completion. A
beginning was also made in the preparation of skeletons of Campto-
saurus hrowni and C. nanus. These will all form valuable additions
to the exhibition series, the zeuglodon (Basilosaums) being the first
of its kind to be mounted in any museum of the world, its nearest
approach being the grotesque Hydrachus prepared and exhibited by
Koch in Germany in 1847.

The collections in the division of mvertebrate paleontology are
now well systematized. A large number of boxes of unstudied mate-
rial which had been in storage were unpacked and made ready for
examination, and some additions and improvements were made in
the biologic series. The additions to the Cambrian collection were,
under the supervision of the Secretary of the Institution, prepared
for study, being numbered, labeled, and catalogued as the work
progressed.

The number of lots of specimens received from correspondents for
identification and reported on by letter was 433, distributed among
the different divisions of the department as follows: Systematic and
applied geology, 282; mineralogy, 103; fossil invertebrates, 20; fossil
vertebrates, 25; fossil plants, 3.

Exhibition collections. — As above stated, circumstances did not
warrant making any appreciable additions to the exhibition collec-
tions installed in the public halls, and in fact the transfer of several
of the collections to the new building caused them to be temporarily
withdrawTi from view. The following exliibitions, however, still
remained open to the public in the old building at the close of the
year, namely: Stratigraphic geology, minerals and gems, building
stones, metallic and nonmetallic minerals in applied geology, inverte-
brate paleontolog}^ and paleobotany.

Researches. — In view of the circumstances already explained, com-
paratively little research work was done. The number of publica-
tions by members of the staff of the department amounted to 31. A
new meteorite was described by the head curator, Dr. George P.
Merrill. Dr. F. B. Laney, assistant curator in geology, began an
investigation of the copper ores, mth the object of establishing the
primary or secondary origin and order of crystallization of the vari-
ous minerals constituting both the ore and gangue, the method
adopted being that of studying polished surfaces under the microscope
and by reflected light. Some interesting results were accomplished,
but the work was cut short by the resignation of Dr. Laney to accept

employment on the Geological Survey. Dr. J. E. Pogue, assistant
curator of mineralogy, completed four studies on Museum material,
and devoted some time to the examination of calamine crystals from
Mexico, phlogopite-biotite intergrowths from Ottawa, Canada, and
certain unusual pseudomorphs of marcasite after pyrrhotite from
Osnabruck, Prussia. An account of the turquoise was also begun,
and some work was done on the optical and crystallographic charac-
ters of carnotite and certain vanadium minerals from Peru.

Dr. Ray S. Bassler, curator of invertebrate paleontology, finished
a work which had extended over a period of four or five years on the
stratigraphy of the Ordovician rocks of Russia, with a description of
their bryozoan fauna. He spent two weeks in the Ohio Valley in
examining the Ordovician and Silurian rocks ; and the month of June,
1910, in a survey of the Silurian and Mississippian rocks in Kentucky
and Tennessee for the purpose of securing certain geologic data
needed by the Hon. Frank Springer for the completion of his work
on the Crinoidea Flexibilia. Reference has already been made to
the collections obtained from these expeditions. The assistant cura-
tor, Mr. L. D. Burling, began the stud}^ of some Ordovician brachio-
pods in the collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at
Cambridge; completed his work in connection with the Secretary's
monograph of Cambrian brachiopoda, and continued that on the
Ordovician fauna of Colorado and Wyoming. He has also prepared
a catalogue of all the Cambrian brachiopoda in the Museum, giving
complete data for each figured specimen. Dr. William H. Dall, asso-
ciate curator, has been engaged in research work on the fossils of the
Oligocene silex beds of Tampa, Florida, and has nearly completed a
study of the fossils of the Lake beds of Meteor Crater, Arizona.

In the division of vertebrate paleontology, IMr. J. W. Gidley, cus-
todian of mammalian remains, continued his studies of the Fort Union
fossil mammals, of the skeleton of Basilosaurus (Zeuglodon) now in
process of mounting, and of Oligocene and Miocene rodents. Mr.
C. W. Gilmore, custodian of reptilian remains, completed papers on a
new rhynchocephaiian reptile from the Jurassic of Wyoming and a
new crocodile fi'om the Cretaceous of Kansas. He also devoted con-
siderable tune to a study of the fossil reptiles of the southern coastal
plain.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS.

The distribution of regular sets of duplicate specimens during the
past year was confined almost entirely to invertebrate fossils, of which
61 sets, containing 3,214 specimens, were sent out. In addition,
2,732 specimens, of which 1,-962 were biological, 752 geological, and
18 anthropological, were selected from the duplicates to meet special
applications. To specialists not oiJicially connected witli the Museum

EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 51

there were lent for study 15,715 specimens from the department of
biology, 1,241 from the department of geology, and 120 from the
department of anthropology. Exchanges wdth scientific institutions
and with individuals were conducted as usual, and for this purpose
24,361 specimens were used, 9,534 being biological, 14,713 geological,
and 114 anthropological.

Following are the institutions abroad wdth which exchanges were
made during the year: The British Museum of Natural History, Lon-

NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART.

At the beginning of the fiscal year the William T. Evans collection
of American paintings which, through the courtesy of the trustees of
the Corcoran Gallerv of Art, had been accommodated in the atrium
of that Gallery since the initial gift of 50 pictures in 1907, was
brought to the older Museum building. It was there installed in
the provisional picture gallery at the left of the main entrance, and
so fully occupied its walls and screens as to necessitate the removal

52 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

to other temporaiy quarters of nearly all of the paintings which had
previously been displayed in this hall. The Evans collection at that
time numbered 84 canvases.

The growth of the National Gallery has been so marked that no
quarters suitable for its installation, either in size or character of
room or manner of lighting, are to be found in the older buildings.
Wliile the new building was planned and erected for the natural
history collections, and none of its space can well be spared for other
purposes, it contains three sky-lighted halls, one of which it has been
decided to allot provisionally to the needs of the paintings, rather
than keep them scattered, in large part inaccessible to the public, and
thus jeopardize the art interests of the Government now being so
greatly stimulated through the acts of generous-minded citizens.

The place selected for the Gallery in the new building is the entire
central part of the middle hall on the main floor directly below the
skylight well and included between the two rows of nine large rec-
angular piers serving as supports for the second floor. These piers are
spaced 18^ feet apart from center to center. In the arrangements
effected during the year the southernmost section of 18^ feet was
not utilized, but having been added at the beginning of the new year,
the entire construction for the Gallery as it now stands may be
described in this connection. It consists of simple screen walls
adapted to the hanging of pictures, having a uniform construction
and height throughout. There is primarily a general inclosing
wall of this character built against the inner faces of the piers, and
including a floor space 146 feet long by 48 feet wide, which is the
total extent of the Gallery. The area so surrounded is then divided
into eight rooms, symmetrically disposed, besides three short sections
of corridor running with the longitudinal axis of the hall. The
largest of the rooms is midway of the inclosure and occupies its
entire width, measuring 48 by 36 feet. Immediately adjoining it
both to the north and south is a pair of rooms, the rooms in each pair
being separated by a 12-foot corridor. These four rooms are of
equal size and 36 feet long by 18 feet wide. The southern end of the
inclosure consists of a single room, 48 by 18 feet; and the northern,
of two small rooms, each 17^ by 14^ feet, separated by a corridor 18
feet Avide. The general inclosure is entered fi"om the north and
south only, and each of the rooms, except the two smallest ones, has
two doorways, all of which are sufficiently large to permit the free
circulation of visitors. There are no doors, however, and the pro-
tection of the Gallery is provided for in the measures adopted for
safeguarding the hall as a whole. The corridors as well as the
compartments are arranged and used for the installation of paintings.

The screen walls are built with a core of macite blocks strengthened
by iron bars and covered with wood as the only convenient medium

REPORT OF NATIONAL. MUSEUM, 1910. 53

for the attachment of pictures. Measurmg only 13 feet 11 inches
high, an open interspace of 3 feet occurs between the top of the gen-
eral inclosing walls and the under surface of the ceiling girders which
span the piers. All inside wall surfaces have a 6-inch base of pink
Tennessee marble, surmounted by a wood base of the same height,
and followed by a molded wainscot rail 3 feet above the floor. All
interior compartments, except the south room and the corridors, are
also provided with a 2^-inch round handrail of oak at the same
height as the wainscot rail, supported on ornamental cast-iron brack-
ets. This rail is generally about 2 feet from the wall, but in some
places the distance is reduced to 1 foot 4 inches to avoid obstructing
openings. With the exception of the handrail, all exposed wood-
work, including the doorway trims and the molding along the tops
of the screens, is of c}'press.

The surface for the hanging of pictures measures 10^ feet high from
the wainscot rail to the top molding, and has a total linear extent,
excluding openings, of about 950 feet. It is covered with burlap, as
is also the space between the baseboard and the wainscot rail, the
color of this material being a dark green in the rooms and a light
brown in the corridors.

The exterior surfaces of the inclosing walls, used for ethnological
subjects, are provided with marble and wood bases of the same char-
acter as those in the interior, but they lack the wamscot and hand-
rails. Tlie burlap covering is of the light-brown color used in the
corridors.

The construction of the Gallery screens was fuiished in Februar}'^,
1910, and the hanging of the paintings about the middle of March.
The installation, directed by the curator of the Gallery, Mr. William
H. Holmes, proved most effective and resulted in a harmony of
arrangement wliich elicited the warmest praise. It should also be
stated that, upon tlie completion of this task, the lighting conditions,
though designed for another purpose, were found to be exceptionally
good.

In these new quarters the Gallery was informally opened to the
public from noon until 5 o'clock on the afternoon of March 17, 1910.
Admission was by card, partly to prevent undue crowding and partly
to bring the event specially to the attention of Congress, the official
body in Washington, and all other j)ersons knoAvn to be interested in
the promotion of art at the Nation's Capital. The attendance reached
about 1,600, and the appreciation manifested was extremely grati-
fying. The space prepared for the occasion, includmg also the sur-
rounding parts of the main hall and the adjacent ranges, wliich
contained some of the best of the ethnological groups and historical
exhibits, provided ample room for the circulation and comfort of the
guests. Since that time the Gallery has continued open. The num-

ber of paintings exhibited was 159, of which 131 were the property
of the Gahery, the remainder being loans. There were also a few
pieces of sculpture belonging to the Harriet Lane Johnston collection.
The Evans collection occupied four rooms and a large amount of
corridor space; the Harriet Lane Johnston collection, one room; a
loan by Mr. Ralph Cross Johnson, one room; and the other Gallery
possessions and loans, the remaining room and corridor walls and also
the northern outer surface of the general inclosure. The large deco-
rative painting by Mr. John Elliott, entitled "Diana of the Tides,"
elsewhere described, was likewise included in the exhibition. A cata-
logue of the collection was printed for gratuitous distribution.

Again, on the afternoon of May 17, 1910, the Gallery was specially
opened from 4.30 to 6 o'clock for the benefit of the members of the
American Federation of Arts, which was then holding its first annual
convention in Washington, and on the same day the Secretary of
the Institution addressed the Federation on the subject of the
National Gallery.

A Museum bulletin of 140 pages issued during the 3^ear treats in a
historical way of the collections of art of all kinds acquired by the
museums under Government control from the founding of the Na-
tional Institute in 1840, and concludes with an illustrated catalogue of
the paintings in the National Gallery on July 1, 1909. According to
this publication, the National Gallery had, during the preceding three
years, been the recipient of three important collections of paintings,
one bequeathed by Harriet Lane Johnston, the others presented by
Mr. Charles L. Freer, of Detroit, and Mr. William T. Evans, of New
York. It was also in possession of a number of paintings derived
from other sources, and had been fortunate in securing several inter-
esting loans. The bulletin likewise records many additional paintings,
mainly portraits, and other objects of art, associated with the his-
torical collections of the Museum or belonging to the Smithsonian
Institution.

The collection of Harriet Lane Johnston, who died on July 3, 1903,
came into the possession of the Gallery under a decree of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, dated July 11, 1906, wliich inter-
preted that part of Mi's, Johnston's will relating to the collection
favorably to the contention of the Government, based upon the act
of Congress of 1846 founding the Smithsonian Institution. Received
and placed on exhibition in August, it contains the following paint-
ings: ''Madonna and Child," by Bernardino Luini; "Portrait of Mrs.
Hammond," by Sir Joshua Reynolds; "Portrait of Miss Kirkpat-
rick," by George Romney; "Portrait of Lady Essex as Juliet," by Sir
Thomas Lawrence; "Portrait of Mrs. Abington," by John Hoppner;
"Portrait of Miss Murray," by Sir William Beechey; "Portrait of
the Prince of Wales (King Edward VII)," by Sir John Watson Gor-

don; "The Valley Farm," by Jolin Constable; "Madonna and Child,"
after the manner of Correggio; "Portrait of Madame Tulp," by
Cornelis-Janson van Ceiilen (Jansen); "Portrait of Josepha Boe-
gart," by Francis Pourbus, the Younger; "Independence," by Klaus
Meyer; "A Street Scene m the East," by Edwin Lord Weeks; "The
Prince of Wales and President Buchanan at the Tomb of Waslmig-
ton. Mount Vernon, 1S60," by Thomas P. Rossiter; "Portrait of
President Buchanan," by Jacob Eicholtz; "Miniature of President
Buchanan," by John Henry Brown; and "Portrait of James Buchanan
Johnston," by Harper Pennington. The collection also includes sev-
eral articles of historical mterest and three pieces of sculpture,
namely, a bust of President Buchanan by Henry Dexter, and a bust
of Henry Elliot Johnston and a full length of Henry Elliot Jolm-
ston, jr., at the age of 2 years, by William Henry Rinehart. A marble
bust of Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston, by Rinehart, was added as a
loan during the past year by Miss May S. Kennedy, of Charlestown,
West Virginia.

The gift of Mr. Charles L. Freer was accepted by the Board of
Regents of the Listitution on January 24, 1906. Its general charac-
ter and the principal conditions under which it was tendered were
stated by Mr. Freer in an early communication, as follows:

"These several collections include specimens of very widely sepa-
rated periods of artistic development, begmning before the birth of
Christ and ending to-day. No attempt has been made to secure
specimens from unsympathetic sources, my collectmg having been
confined to American and Asiatic schools. My great desire has been
to unite modern work with masterpieces of certain periods of high
civilization harmonious in spiritual and physical suggestion, having
the power to broaden esthetic culture and the grace to elevate the
human mind.

"These collections I desire to retain during my life for the enjoy-
ment of students, my friends, and myself, and for the further purpose
of making additions and improvements from time to time. Believ-
ing that good models only should be used in artistic instruction, I
wish to continue my censorship, aided by the best expert advice,
and remove every undesirable article and add in the future whatever
I can obtain of like harmonious standard quality."

On May 5, 1906, Mr. Freer transferred to the ownership of the
Institution all of the objects then assembled for the collection, the
conveyance being made by a deed of gift, accompanied by a descrip-
tive inventory. In the same connection provision was made for the
erection, at the proper time and at the cost of the donor, of a suitable
and worthy building to house the collection, which is to be adjacent
to the National Museum. During subsequent years ^Ir. Freer has
added very extensively to the original gift, mainly as the result of

56 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

several visits to Europe and the Orient. These additions have been
the subject of three supplemental transfers, the last of wliich was
executed on July 22, 1910. The following summary of the compo-
sition of the collection at the close of last year conveys only a
suggestion of its richness:

American art is represented by the works of 6 painters, as follows :
Thomas Wilmer Dewing, by 21 oil paintings, 8 pastels, and 1 silver
point; Abbott Henderson Thayer, by 10 oil paintings and 1 water
color; Dwight William Try on, by 26 oil paintings, 2 water colors
and 12 pastels; Childe Hassam, by 1 oil painting; J. Gari Melchers,
by 1 oil painting, a portrait of President Koosevelt; and James
Abbott McNeill Whistler, by 58 oil paintings, 4.3 water colors, 32
pastels, 110 drawings and sketches, 3 wood engravings made after
his designs, 402 etchings and dry points (over 600 impressions), 166
lithographs (190 impressions), 37 original copper plates, including
the Thames set, and the entire woodwork and decoration of the
famous Peacock Room from the London residence of the late F. R.
Leyland.

The oriental part of the collection consists of choice and rare
examples of paintings, pottery, and other kinds of objects, assembled
at much pains and with careful discrimination. The period covered
extends back some twenty centuries, and the number of oriental
masters represented is exceptionally great. The paintings are
entu'ely Japanese and Chinese, and comprise 146 screens, 71 panels,
338 Kakemono, 67 Makimono or scroll paintings, 15 albums of
paintings, and 13 Tibetan paintings. The pottery numbers 1,506
pieces, of which 706 are Japanese, 214 Korean, 189 Chinese, 86
Persian, 128 Rakka, and 82 Egyptian, the remainder coming from
other parts of central and western Asia. The miscellaneous objects,
of wliich there are 187, include figures, statuettes, sculpture, mirrors,
boxes, etc., in bronze, stone, wood, and lacquer, and a number of
Byzantine gold ornaments and medallions. There is also a collection
of over 600 specimens of ancient Egyptian glass, consisting of bottles,
vases, and miscellaneous shapes.

During the year Mr. William T. Evans added 30 examples to his
notable collection, which now numbers 114 pieces and represents
80 modern American artists, the most of whom are still living.
The collection consists wholly of paintings in oil, with the exception
of a fire etching on wood, by Mr. J. William Fosdick. Three
paintings belonging in the original gift were replaced by other
examples by the same artists. A complete list of the collection
is given at the end of this section.

For the most noteworthy loan of the year the Gallery is indebted
to the kindness of Mr. Ralph Cross Johnson, of Washington. Received
in time for exhibition on the opening day, it entirely occupies one of

SEPORT OF NATIONAL. MUSEUM, 1910. 57

the smaller rooms, and comprises the roUowing 9 paintings of excep-
tional merit: "Italian Landscape," by Richard Wilson; "Portrait
of Archibald Skirving," by Sir Henry Raeburn; "Portrait of Sir
Sampson Wright," by George Romney; "Marine," by Wilham
Clarkson Stanfield; "Madonna and Child," by Govaert Flinck;
"A Man's Portrait," by N. Maes; "A View in Rome," by Francesco
Guardi; "Portrait of Mrs. Price," by William Hogarth; and "Out-
skirts of a Wood," by David Cox.

Especiall}^ interesting is a series of 15 paintings by early American
artists, deposited in the spring of 1910, by Dr. George Reuling, of
Baltimore. The pieces are as follows: "Launching of the Brigan-
tme," by P. F. Rothermel; "Battle of Bunker Hill," "General
Washington at Trenton," and "Portrait of General Washington,"
by John Trumbull; "General Washington at Princeton," and
"Portrait of General Andrew Jackson," by Charles Willson Peale;
"Portrait of Mrs. Lloyd," by Gilbert Stuart; "Hemy Clay on his
estate, Ashland," by G. P. A. Healy; "Portrait of Miss Rieman,"
by Gilbert Stuart Newton; "Henry Clay making his Great Speech,"
and "Portrait of Sergeant Wallace," by John Neagle; "Portrait of
William Clark, the Explorer," by Jarvis; "Portrait of Henry Clay,"
"Portrait of General Zebulon Montgomery Pike," and "Portrait of a
Lady," by Rembrandt Peale. The loan also includes a painting by
Sir Henry Raeburn, entitled "English Country Squire."

A valuable collection lent by the Duchess de Arcos and turned
over to the Gallery in June, 1910, comprises 18 paintings, and a
marble Bacchante by Bien Aime. Among the painters represented
are Van Dyck, John Opie, Albano, Zuccarelli, Pietro de Cortona,
Perino del Vaga, Baroccio, and Berchem. As the paintings have
been in storage for some years, they will require cleaning and some
repair before they can be installed.

A portrait of the late Prof. Simon Newcomb, by C. H. L. Mac-
donald, was deposited by Mrs. Newcomb, and one of Miss Viola W.
Myer, by Carle J. Blenner, was lent by Miss Myer.

Reference has been made in a previous report to a large painting
designed as a mural decoration for the great east hall of the new
building, executed by Mr. John Elhott, as a gift to the Museum from
Mr. and Mrs. Larz Anderson, of Boston and Wasliington. It is enti-
tled "Diana of the Tides," and was painted in the studio of the artist
in Rome, Italy, durmg the years 1906-1908. Tliis canvas, which
measures 25 by 11 feet, was first unpacked, framed, and installed for
exhibition at the opening of the Gallery on March 17, 1910, being
given a position on the southern wall of the middle hall, outside of
the Gallery inclosure, where it attracted much attention and was the
subject of much praise. Before the close of the year, however, it
was removed to its place in the east hall, where it occupies a high

58 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

position, its lower margin being about 25 feet*above the floor. The
label attaclied to the painting describes the motive as follows:

"The varied attributes of the Moon Goddess of the Romans did
not include that of ruler of the tides, since the connection of the moon
with tidal movements was unknown before the time of Newton ; and
Mr. Elliott was the first to recognize the just clauns of the goddess to
this splendid heritage. In the painting Diana stands erect in her
chariot, a rainbow-tinted sea-shell drawn by four white horses. The
horses typify the flow of the tides, their action repeating and ampli-
fving the rhvthm of the breaking waves. The moon behind the
goddess m the east rises through the purple shadows that follow the
setting of the sun in the west."

Among other paintings belonging to the Gallery which are men-
tioned in the art bulletin and are exhibited in the new quarters are
F. E. Church's "Aurora Borealis, " presented by Miss Eleanor Blodg-
ett; Adrien Moreau's "Crossing the Ferry," the gift of Mrs. James
Lowndes; G. P. A. Healy's portraits of Guizot, President John Tyler,
and Senator William C. Preston; Lucien W. Powell's "Grand Canyon
of the Yellowstone," contributed by the Hon. J. B. Henderson;
Max Weyl's "Indian Summer Day," presented by 30 of his friends;
and Jose de Ribera's "Job and His (Jomforters."

Of the 21 paintings from the Lucius Tuckerman collection lent to
the Gallery in 1907, five still remain on deposit through the courtesy
of the owners. One of these, belonging to Miss Emily Tuckerman,
is by Eduardo Zama^ois and entitled "Refectory." The other four,
the property of Mrs. James Lowndes, are as follows: "Boys and
Flowers," by Mario da' Fiori; "Fishing for Eels," by Pierre Marie
Beyle; "Still Life," by Blaise Alexandre Desgoffe; "Preparing for the
Masquerade," by Jehan Georges Vibert. Other loans consist of the
13 marine paintings composing the Edward Moran historical collec-
tion, received through Mr. Theodore Sutro; "Judith with the Head
of Holofernes, " by Francesco di Rosa, lent by Mrs. Elizabeth Wal-
bridge; and a portrait of Andrew Jackson, by an unknown artist,
deposited by the Navy Department.

Although placed on exliibition with the collection of history, it is
interesting to note in this connection the gift to the Museum of the
beautiful model for the Commodore Barry monument in Washington,
designed by Mr. Andrew O'Connor. The donor was Mr. Jeremiah
O'Connor, of Washington.

The painting by Mr. William Sergeant Kendall, entitled "An
Interlude," was included in an exliibition of that artist's work in
Boston during the latter half of January and the first of February,
1910; "Spring, Navesink Highlands," by Childe Hassam, was lent
to the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburg, for its spring exhibition of 1910;
and the "Visit of Nicodemus to Christ," by John La Farge, was

contained in the American Art Exhibition, organized by Mr. Hugo
Reisinger, of New York, and held at the Royal Academy of Arts,
BerUn, and the Royal Art Society, Munich, during March and April,

ART TEXTILES.

The collection of art textiles and other art objects started in the
spring of 1908 by Mrs. James W. Pinchot, assisted by other ladies of
Washington, was very materially increased during the year both by
loans and by gifts, two of the latter being especially noteworthy.
The importance of tliis movement, which it is designed shall lead to
the formation of a worthy permanent collection, can not be over-
estimated, and it is gratifying to note that the interest on the part
of contributors has continued unabated. That the subject is an
appropriate one to encourage is demonstrated by the attention it
receives in the important art museums of the world, and that it is
appreciated by the public is shown by the number o'f visitors at-
tracted to the hall in which the specimens are displayed. While
appealing to the esthetic sense through beauty and delicacy of de-
sign, it is from a utilitarian point of view that the matter is mainly
being considered by the Museum. By stimulating and furnishing
motives for the higher grades of handiwork, several lines of indus-
trial activities long fostered in European countries and for which a
promising field exists in the United States can be very materially
aided. For tliis purpose a large collection is required, contaming
as many and as varied examples as can be brought together, and it
is hoped, therefore, that the efforts of the ladies, on whom the bur-
den of the work has so far fallen, will be properly sustained.

With the transfer of the paintings to the new building and the
removal of the western and middle screens, it became possible to

62 EEPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

assi<i:n to this subject in March, 1910, the entire picture gallery in
the okler buikUng. Many new cases were adder! and, under the
supervision of Mrs. Pinchot, the specimens were rearranged in a
far more satisfactory manner, and much was done toward perfecting
the labehng before the year closed. Having been mainly depend-
ent on loans, the composition of the collection has changed to some
extent from time to time, but the additions have always exceeded
the withdrawals and the quality of the collection as a whole has
been greatly improved. At the end of the year it comprised 779
specunens, contributed by 47 persons, the additions during the year
having numbered 386 specimens, of which 128 were permanent
acquisitions tlu'ough gift or purchase. Besides laces, which were
the primary object of the movement, the collection contains fine
examples of embroideries, brocades, velvets, tapestries, fans, enam-
els, porcelain, jewelry, silverware, etc.

Of laces there were two principal gifts. One of these, purchased
in Europe by Mrs. Pinchot specially for the collection, comprised 61
valuable pieces selected with reference to filling gaps and to replacmg
specimens not of a character fully meeting museum requirements.
The other, presented by Miss Anna R. Fairchild of New York and
Paris, contained 12 pieces of lace, besides 7 fans, which had been
bequeathed to her by the late Miss Julia S. Bryant, daughter of Will-
iam Cullen Bryant. The gift was made in Miss Br3^ant's name.
The laces were mostly fine large pieces of Burano, Flemish, Mechlin,
Alenfon, point de rose de Venice, Flanders, point d'Angleterre, etc.,
dating back about 200 years. Other donations consisted of two
pieces of Tender lace, a rare product of Scandinavian needlework,
one from the Cbuntess Carl von Moltke, the other from Mrs. Carl
Kelleter; an old French embroidered lace collar from Miss Carrie
Harrison; two fragments of old Binche lace from Miss Frances
Morris; and a piece of modern Greek lace from Mrs. J. Harriet
Goodell.

The loans of laces and drawn work were as follow^s: Mrs. Thomas
F. Richardson, 20 examples of Guipure de Genes, Mechlin, Flemish,
Irish, Milano point, antique Greek, and other varieties; Miss Julia
Chadwick, 28 examples, including Valenciennes, Honiton, Point
Applique, Venetian point, Burano and English pillow lace; Mrs. W. A.
Slater, a piece of Burano lace; Mrs. H. B. Coolidge, a fine lace bertha;
Mrs. William E. Curtis, two rare lace handkerchiefs made by the
Indians of Paraguay and Venezuela; Mrs. W. Murray Crane, two fine
altar cloths of the sixteenth centurv in cut and drawn work; Mrs.
A. C. Barney, a spread of filet and drawn work, a lace scarf, a drawn-
work scarf, apiece of crochet lace, and a Spanish filet lace; and Mrs.
Arthur James Collier, handkerchiefs, collar and tie of Brussels point
lace.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM. 1910. 63

Of fabrics otiier than laces there were many noteworthy contribu-
tions, mostly loans, some of which were of a size and cliaracter to
exJiibit on the walls and large screen, which greatly enhanced the
general attractiveness of the hall. Mr. Edson Bradley added to liis
deposit a brocade hanging of Lonis XIV, two silver brocades and a
cloth of gold of Louis XVI, and an Italian cut velvet embroidered
panel of the sixteenth century. ]\Irs. Barney supplemented her
collection by a number of beautiful and remarkable examples, in-
cludmg several panels of antique applique velvet, a brocade of Louis
XVI, a rose and gold scapular, French and Italian embroidery of the
seventeenth century and brocades of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. Miss Emily Tuckerman lent six exquisite tapestries of
Italian and Flemish weaving and a splendid silk Persian rug; and
Mrs. W. Murray Crane, three fine pieces of Spanish and French bro-
cades. A piece of East Indian cloth of gold, interesting liistorically
as having been presented by Capt. Robert Kidd to Mrs. Elizabeth
Gardiner, of Gardiners Island, was deposited by Mrs. Elizabeth C.
Hobson; and a handsome brocade ball dress of the late eighteenth
century, by Miss Helen ]\Iunroe. A number of embroideries and
examples of other needlework of Greece and the Balkan States were
purchased.

Especially interestmg is a collection of fine examples of the needle-
work of the American gentlewomen of the nineteenth century,
together with some pieces from foreign sources, deposited by the
Misses Long.

Among objects of a miscellaneous character mention should first
be made of 19 pieces of Limoges enamel added by Mrs. Pinchot to her
collection, which now becomes one of the most valuable and attractive
of its kind in the country. The choice series of fans was increased by
13, of wliich 7 were included in the gift of Aliss Fairchild above men-
tioned, the remainder having been lent by Mrs. Barney, Mrs. JuHan
James, Miss Chadwick, and the Misses Long. Other loans, comprismg
objects of great value and rarity, were as follows: From Mrs. Thomas
F. Richardson, an old Italian silver drinking bowl, a double German
drinking cup, a deer of Persian cloisonne of the ninth century,
a German commemoration glass of the late eighteenth century, and
a kissing plate of the fifteenth century; from Mrs. Barney, three
twelfth century panel paintings from a monastery in France, two
antique stained glass disks, a Venetian boat hook for a gondola, and
several pieces of ceramics; and from the Misses Long exquisite
objects of jewelry, brasses, workboxes, and sewing implements.

VISITORS.

The distribution of the exhibition collections between two or more
buildings renders it manifest!}' impossible to determine the actual
number of persons who visit the Museum regarded as a unit, and in
this matter each building must continue, as heretofore, to be con-
sidered separately. The records for the past 30 years show a uni-
formly greater attendance at the older Museum building than at the
Smithsonian building, but as soon as the new building has been
entirely fitted up it is certain to assume the ascendency in this respect.

During the past year the number of visitors to the old Museum
building was 228,804, a daily average of 731, and to the Smithsonian
building, 179,163, a daily average of 572. During the approximately
3^ months since the gallery of art and part of the ethnological collec-
tion was opened, the attendance at the new building has been 50,403,
a daily average of 560. The following tables show, respectively,
the attendance during each month of the past year, and for each year
beginning with 1881, when the Museum building was first opened
to the public :

Copies of all of these publications were promptly distributed to the
various addresses on the regular mailing lists, involving the wrapping,
labeling, and mailing of approximately 65,000 books and pamphlets.
About 22,000 additional copies of the same and earlier publications
were also sent out on special requests.

In addition to the above, 20 papers based on Museum material and,
for the most part, prepared by members of the Museum staff, were
published in the Miscellaneous (Collections of the Smithsonian Insti-
tution. Their titles are as follows: "Prehistoric Ruins of the Gila
Valley," by J. Walter Fewkes; "Description of a New Frog from the

Besides the regular editorial work, there is a large amount of mis-
cellaneous printing and binding, with all of which the editor's office is
also charged. The principal item is prol^abW the furnishing of labels
for both the exhibition and reserve collections.

LIBRARY.

The library of the Museum contains 38,300 volumes and 61,858
unbound papers, the additions during the year having consisted of
2,056 books, 5,541 pamplilets, and 307 parts of volumes. With
an annual appropriation of but $2,000, which constitutes the only
fund for purchasing, it is wholly impossible to maintain the library
on the basis required for the study and classification of the collec-
tions. In fact, except for the increment tlii"ough exchanges and
donations, the working benefits of the library would be very inad-
equate, and this in spite of the fact that the Library of Congress
and several Department libraries are fi'eely placed at the service
of the Museum. Among Museum officers and associates who made
important gifts to the library durmg the year were Dr. Theodore N.
Gill, Dr. Charles A. White,' Dr. Charles W. Richmond, Mr. E. A.
Schwarz, Dr. O. P. Hay, and Dr. Marcus Benjamm.

In common with all other branches of the Museum, the limited
quarters assigned to the library have become more and more con-
gested each year, interfering with the continued systematic arrange-
ment of the publications, and causing inconvenience m cataloguing
and other parts of the work. For this condition a remedy will be
found during the coming year, in the more ample space wliich it
will be possible to allot to this subject. Good progress was made
in the cataloguing of pubhcations, and volumes to the number of
435 were prepared and sent to the Government Printmg Office for
binding. Each of the divisions and principal offices of the Museum
has a sectional library, consisting of the works pertaining specially
to its province, and these are supervised by the central library, in
which they are recorded the same as is the main body of pubfications.
There are 29 of these sectional libraries.

PHOTOGRAPHY.

The alterations mentioned in the last report as necessary to place
the photographic laboratory m a condition to meet the increased
work and to generally improve its facilities were commenced at the
beginnuig of the year and completed duruig the summer. They
included a new skylight, new side lights for use with the photo-
microscope, and an extension over the adjoining lower roof for
blue printing. For the purposes of a museum this laboratory is
probably not surpassed in the country as regards both its general
arrangements and its equipment.

68 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

It is impossible to adequately describe the character and value
of the work done in photography. Its primary object is to produce
illustrations for the publications of the Museum, but in some subjects
photographic prints furnish the only means for making an intelli-
gible record of specimens in connection with the cataloguing and
descriptive notes. Photography has also to be extensively resorted
to for the reproduction of plans relating to structural features of
the buildings and of furniture. During the past year the work
accomplished may be briefly summed up as follows: The number of
negatives made was 1,136; of silver prints, 1,410; of velox prints,
905; of blue prints, 2,777; of lantern slides, 24; of bromide enlarge-
ments, 10; and of transparencies, 10.

ORGANIZATION AND STAFF.

Following the death of Prof. Otis T. Mason on November 5, 1908,
Dr. Walter Hough, the assistant curator of ethnology, was made act-
ing head curator of the department of anthropology. On January 1,
1910, however, Prof. William H. Holmes relinquished his position as
Chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology in order to again take up
his duties in the Aluseum, and was returned to the head curatorship
of this department, which he had fdled from the time of its organiza-
tion in 1897 until called to the bureau in 1902. Dr. Hough and Dr.
Ale§ Hrdlicka, who, as assistant curators, had long been in charge of
the divisions of ethnology and physical anthropology, respectively,
were botli made curators during the year, the former on January 1,
the latter on March 28, 1910. Mr. Arthur P. Rice was designated a
collaborator in the division of ethnology on August 12, 1909.

The development of the exhibition collections in biology, long held
in check through the lack of accommodations, but now become a most
important and necessary feature of the work in connection with the
new building, has demanded a more definite organization. This was
effected during the year, and Dr. James E. Benedict, for many 3'ears
assistant curator of marine invertebrates, was placed in charge as
chief of exhibits, his appointment dating from November 16, 1909.

In the division of mammals. Dr. M. W. Lyon, jr., assistant curator,
was given indefinite leave on October 5, 1909, being succeeded by
Mr. Ned HoUister, who received a temporary appointment on January
3, 1910, and a permanent one on March 21 , following. The services of
Mr. H. C. Oberholser, of the Biological Survey, were secured tempo-
rarily, beginning February 1, to assist with the collections in ornithol-
ogy. Mr. Austin H. Clark, previously a collaborator, was made an
assistant curator in the division of marine invertebrates on February
16, 1910, and Mr. Waldo C. Schmitt, a temporary aid in the same
division on February 21. Mr. Paul R. Myers was appointed aid in the
division of insects on March 1, 1910, in succession to Mr. D. H. demons
transferred to the Department of Agriculture. ^liss Mary Breen was
designated collaborator in the division of mollusks, beginning Feb-
ruary 25, 1910, and Mr. M. S. Curtis, a temporary aid in the division
of plants from April 12 to June 30, 1910.

Dr. J. E. Pogue was appointed assistant curator of mineralogy on
July 1, 1909, to succeed Mr. Wirt Tassin, who had resigned to engage
in business in May previous. Mr. F. B. Laney, assistant curator of
geology, resigned on May 15, 1910, to enter the service of the Geolog-
ical Survey.

It is necessary to record the decease during the vear of two dis-
tinguished associates of the Aluseum, Dr. Robert Edwards Carter
Stearns and Dr. Charles Abiathar White, both of whom had long been

70 EEPORT OF NATIONATi MUSEUM, 1910.

actively connected with its operations, one in the field of zoology, the
other in that of paleontology.

Dr. Stearns, whose death occurred on July 27, 1909, was a native
of Boston, Massachusetts, a son of Charles Stearns, and was bom
February 1, 1827. He was educated in the public schools, followed
by a course of mercantile training, and from his earliest years evinced
a deep love of nature, which was fostered by his father. Even in
boyhood he displayed unusual artistic ability, and, though his early
employment was in a bank and in farming, when only 22 years old
he painted a panorama of the Hudson River from the mouth of the
Mohawk to Fort William, which he exhibited with much success.
Turning his attention to mining, he explored the coal fields of southern
Indiana, and in 1854 was made resident agent of several copper mines
in the Lake Superior region of Michigan. In 1858 he went to San
Francisco, California, where he became a partner in a large printing
establishment which published the "Pacific Methodist," a weekly
religious paper, of which, for a time, he acted as editor.

In 1862 Mr, Stearns was appointed deputy clerk of the Supreme
Court of California, but he relinquislied this post in the following year
to accept the secretaryship of the State Board of Harbor Commission-
ers, from which, however, he was obliged to resign in 1868 on account
of ill health. Coming East, he joined the late Dr. William Stimpson
and Col. Ezekiel Jewett in an exploration of the invertebrate fauna
of the coast of southwestern Florida, during which large collec-
tions were made for the Smithsonian Institution. In 1874 he was
elected secretary of the University of California, being the business
executive of that institution under the presidency of Dr. Daniel C.
Oilman. After serving eight years in this capacity, ill health again
forced him to give up the confining duties of office work, and upon
his retirement the University, in recognition of his services to the
cause of education in California and of his scientific attainments,
conferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of philosophy. He
became connected with the United States Fish Commission in 1882,
was appointed paleontologist to the United States Geological Survey
in 1884, and assistant curator of mollusks in the National Museum
at about the same time, his title in the latter establishment being
later changed to adjunct curator. The Museum also acquired his
collection of mollusks. Age and infirmity obliged him to return to
the more genial climate of California in 1892, and he settled in Los
Angeles, continuing, as his strength permitted, his researches into
the malacology of the Pacific coast. He married on March 28, 1850,
Mary Anne Libby, daughter of Oliver Libby, of Boston, and is sur-
vived by a daughter.

Dr. Stearns was an earnest student of mollusks from boyhood;
his early experience also led him to interest himself in horticulture

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910. 71

and landscape gardening, and his ability in this line is attested by the
beauty of the University grounds at Berkeley, which were developed
under his superintendence. His knowledge of the Pacific coast
mollusks was profound, and a long list of papers on this topic and on
the shells of Florida was the result. He also contributed extensively
on horticulture and gardening. He was an enthusiastic supporter of
the California Academy of Sciences in its early days, and became a
member of numerous other scientific societies both at home and
abroad.

Dr. Stearns was a man of sanguine temperament, with a lively
sense of humor, and high moral character. His reading was wide,
his learning never obtrusive, his interest in art, literature, and all
good causes intense. He w^as a stanch friend and, for a righteous
object, ever ready to sacrifice his own material interests.

Dr. Charles Abiathar White, associate in paleontology, who had
been connected with the National Museum and its collections of
invertebrate fossils since 1877, died on June 29, 1910. He was born
in North Dighton, Massachusetts, on January 26, 1826. At the age
of 12 he removed with his father's family to Burlington, Iowa, where
he resided until 1864. Here his natural taste for scientific subjects
was early manifested, and with little special training or guidance he
began to investigate the natural history of the interesting frontier
region in which he grew up. It is doubtless true that the rich fos-
siliferous deposits of the neighborhood had great influence in direct-
ing his attention to paleontology and stratigraphic geology, which
became his life work and in which he gained well-merited eminence
as an earnest, philosophical student. After graduating from Rush
Medical College, Chicago, Dr. White began the practice of medicine
in Iowa City in 1864, but his zeal and ability in scientific research
were soon recognized and he gladly abandoned the medical profes-
sion when, in 1866, he was appointed State geologist. In the fol-
lowing year, while still continuing the State survey, he became pro-
fessor of natural history in the Iowa State University. He remained
in charge of the State geological survey until it was suspended, in
1870, and continued in the university professorship until he was
called to a similar chair in Bowdoin College in 1873.

Dr. White removed to Washington in 1875, but while still at
Bowdoin he began his work for the United States Government by
preparing an extensive report on the invertebrate fossils collected
by Wheeler's survey west of the one hundredth meridian. He was
successively a member of Powell's Survey of the Rocky Mountain
Region, of Hayden's Surve}" of the Territories, and of the United
States Geological Survey. This service was continuous until 1892,
except for a period between 1879 and 1882, when he was on the paid
stafi^ of the National Museum as curator of invertebrate fossils.

72 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1910.

The numerous articles, reports, and monographs in which Dr. White
recorded the principal scientific results of his official work are char-
acterized by a clear, simple style which never permits any doubt of
the author's meaning or of his honesty of purpose. An annotated
bibliography of his writings was published by the National Museum in
Bulletin 30, and a supplement in volume 20 of the Proceedings
brought it down to 1897 with a total of 211 entries. After retiring
from active work he continued to publish occasional articles on
general biological topics until the last year of his life.

During all the years of Dr. White's service with the various Govern-
ment surveys his office work was done in the National Museum, where
he was actively connected with the care and preservation of the
collection of invertebrate fossils to wdiich his field work so largely
contributed. He came to the Institution at a critical period in the
history of its paleontologic collections. Prof. F. B. Meek, who
long had charge of them had recently died and new material was
rapidly coming in from the various surveys and exploring expeditions
in the western Territories. Dr. White immediately took up the
work of properly caring for the collections, at first unofficially and
afterward as curator. His intimate acquaintance with Prof. Meek
and his work, his knowledge of the subject and his systematic, pains-
taking habits enabled him to render invaluable service at that time.
Scattered types were recognized, catalogued and fully labeled, those
that had not been illustrated were figured, and the records and
collections of the whole department were systematized. After retiring
from the active duties of a curatorship he continued his connection
with the National Museum as an associate. Dr. White was a member
of the National Academy of Sciences and of man^^ important scientific
societies both in this country and in Europe.

A pica for olx^ervalion of the habits

tion. — Address before the Fourth Inter-

Attention is called to the fact that "es-
sentials of some of our most esteemed
fishes are scarcely Imown beyond a very
small circle of pisciculturists,"' and the
Crappie (Pomoxi.s sparoidcs) iscited as" a
notable case." It is shown t!;at closely re-
lated species differ much in habits, as the
Wcls from the Glanis (Parasilurus aris-
totdis) and the Hassars ( Callichthy.i) from
Corydora-i. Nearly related fishes that ex-
ercise parental care may differ in details
of that care, as the Blackbass from the
Sunfish. There are also differences in the
characteristics of the sexes. For instance ,
the male of the Lumpsucker is much
smaller than the female, but in the Bolti
of Egj-pt ( Tilapia nilotica) the male is the
larger. In many care-taking fishes the
males assume charge of the eggs, and it has

been assumed that they always do, but it
now appears that the females of numerous
Cichllds (as the Tilapias) take the eggs in
their mouths and so care for them. The
common eel is the subject of much misun-
derstanding. It is often urged that eels
must spawn in fresh water and that others
that have spawned reenter rivers, but it
is now well known to ichthyologists that
all spawning is done in the deep sea and
that no eels return after spawning. Sev-
eral cases of parasitism or commensalism
among fishes are noticed. Caution is
urged against excessive generalization
and the necessity of recognizing some in-
dividuality maintained. A "schedule for
observation" of fishes is added.

muscles of the echinothurids or the longi-
tudinal muscles of the holothurians, and
are not, as is commonly supposed, derived
indirectly from amorphous connective

The probable origin of the crinoidal

nervous system.

Amer. Naturalist, 44, Apr., 1910.
pp. 24.3,244.
The nervous system of the crinoids is
derived directly from that of the arthro-
pod, or, rather, from the common echino-
derm-arthropod ancestor, as a result of the
progressive shortening of the antero-pos-
terior axis of the body, which has culmi-
nated in a sessile habit and, further, in a
pentamerous radial sjTnmetry. The ner-
vous system of the crinoids is shown to be
essentially the same as that of the arthro-
pods, and the orientation of the crinoids
and the arthropods is compared.

Remarks on the pentamerous sym-

metry of the crinoidea.

Amer. Journ. Sci., 29, Apr., 1910,
pp. 353-357, 1 fig.
The pentamerous symmetry of the
crinoidea is derived from that of the
bilaterally symmetrical animals by the
interpolation, between the two elements
of the anterior pair of appendages, of an-
other element equal to one-half of that
anterior pair. Echinoderms are derived
from bilaterally sjTimietrical animals very
near the arthropod stock, which possessed
an anterior and a posterior pair of appen-

dages; the addition of half of a pair l)e-
tween the two elements of the anterior
pair, at first by mutation, as in the speci-
men of Platysamia cecropia figured, caused
in these sessile animals no inconvenience,
and therefore became fixed, resulting in a
more or less perfect pentamerous sym-
metry in which the odd (anterior) ray Is
always the most primitive in structure
and the least stable in appearance, being
frequently absent, while the other rays
are invariably present.

Echinoderm larvae are bilaterally ,«ym'
metrical; but they are in all essentials
highly specialized animals of quite a
different class, fitted for an entirely differ-
ent mode of existence, and are only com-
parable to the adults, ontogenetically and
phylogenetically, in the same way as in-
sect larvae are comparable to adult insects.
The eclilnoderms in their life phases and,
in general, in their structure, are more or
less strictly comparalde to those insects
which undergoacomplete metamorphosis.

An interesting structural analogy.
Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 8th ser., 5,
Apr., 1910, pp. 3.58-361, figs. 1,2.
Attention is called to the curious simi-
larity between the so-called "side-" and
"covering-plates" of crinoids and the
"snow-shoes" of certain grouse, as seen
in Bonasa umbellata. The perfect devel-
opment of these plates in deep water
forms only is noted, and correlated with
the fact that they feed only upon dead food
particles which fall upon these plates and
glance from them into the ambulacral
grooves.

The phylogenetic interrelation-
ships of the recent crinoids.

Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 38, No.
1732, May 3, 1910, pp. 115-118.
This paper treats of the phylogenetic
interrelationships of the recent crinoids
without regard to their fossil representa-

found in the stem and in the basals.

On the type specimen of the

The species is quite distinct from any
other known form, though nearly related

Clark, Austin Hobart. On the origin
of certain types of crinoid stems.

Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 38, No.
1740, JuneC, 1910, pp. 211-210.
The origin of the crinoid stem from the
primitive Jorsocentral echinoderm plate
is traced and all the various types are
shown to converge toward it. The ab-
sence of this plate in the so-called " Pa-
laeoechinoidea " is explained by the great

This is the first part of a work the intent

of which is to describe and illustrate the

Foraminifera of the North Pacific Ocean;

it includes the families Astrorhizidas and

Lituolid;c', together often known as the

arenaceous foraminifera, and commonly

considered the more primitive group.

A considerable number of changes in
the nomenclature and systematic arrange-
ment have been made in an attempt to
separate more clearly species and groups
which, after the study of the extensive
material available, appear to be dis-
tinctive.

The collections upon which this mono-
graph is based were brought together as a
result of the work of the various vessels of
the Navy Department, the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, and the Bureau of Fish-
eries.

Hay, Oliver P. On the nature of Edes-
tus and related genera, with descrip-
tions of one new genus and three new

species.

In this paper there are described three
new species of EdestUK, E. crennlatun, E.
serratus, and E. minusculus. The last
name is applied to a species found in
Russia. A description, with figures, is
given of the histology of Edestus. Addi
tional specimens of JAssopnon ferrkri are
described and figured, which show that
the so-called teeth of this genus were
coiled, as in Helicoprion. A new genus,
Toxoprion, is founded, the type of which
is Dean's Edestus lecontei. The genera
here mentioned are all defined. The last
section of the paper is devoted to a dis-
cussion of the nature of the objects on
which the genera mentioned are based.
Reasons are presented why they can
hardly be regarded as teeth. It is be-
lieved by the writer that these objects,
straight, bent, or coiled, were more proba-
bly organs of defense or attack, arranged
along the back near the dorsal fins.

On the manner of locomotion of

The position taken by the author of
this paper is that the sauropodous dino-
saurs, especially Diplodocus, did noi walk
In a mammal-like way, as usually repre-
sented, but more as the crocodiles
walk. In reply to Abel's argument that
Diplodocus walked as usually represented
because its feet were digitigrade. Hay
points out that the land tortoise is digiti.
grade. Before the close of the Jurassic
there were dinosaurs that went erect on
their hind legs, l)Ut it is not necessary to
suppose that their ancestors walked as
mammals do. The origin of bipedalisrn
Is considered, illustrations thereof being
drawn from certain lizards. Certain
crocodiles attain great size, but this does
not necessitate an erect gait. The entax-
onic structure of the feet shows that Dip-
lodocus did not walk erect but rather as
crocodiles walk.

The author takes the position that the
whole pro.ximal end of the femur, rounded
out by cartilage, fonned the end of that
bone and was inserted into the acetabu-
Itun, as in the crocodiles and the lizards.
The thigh thus moved backward and for-
ward in an approximately horizontal
plane. Issue is taken with von Huene as
regards the pose of some of the Triassic
dinosaurs, the position of some of these

being regarded as too mammal-like. The
writer holds further that the bipedal dino-
saurs had a more straddling gait than is
usually supposed. It is held as not
proved that the hirdlike tracks found in
the Connecticut X'alley were not made by
primitive dinosaur-like birds. The sauro-
pods are regarded as the most primitive,
and that from these sprang first the birds
and later other groups of dinosaurs. The
birds became bipedal because of speciali-
zation of their wings for Height; dinosaurs,
because of the reduction of their fore
limbs. Finally, bipedalisrn has no neces-
sary connection with tridactylism.

Specimens in the collections of the
U. S. National Museum were used for
study in the preparation of this article.

Two species of Compsemys, C. va/er,
from Puerco or Torrejon deposits, in New
Mexico, and C. parva, from the same re-
gion and probably the same deposits, are
here described. These new materials
throw new light on the characters of the
genus. Mesoplastra were certainly pres-
ent and the genus is to be placed in the
Baenidae.

Two species of the remarkable genus
Basilemys are described, B. prxclara, from
the Lance Creek beds of South Dakota,
and B. nobilis, from beds of probably ilie
same age in New Mexico.

Adocus vigoratus comes from the Creta-
ceous of New Mexico, t he same beds which
furnished B. nobilis. Alamosemys an-
nem, not distant from tlie preceding
species, was found in what probably are
Torrejon deposits in Colorado. Hop-
lochclys bicarinata, from the Puerco or
Torrejon of New Mexico, is represented by
large parts of both carapace and plastron.
A spideretes amnigenus is a new trionyehid
from the I.-.ince Creek beds of South
Dakota, and is represented by a nearly
complete costal plate.
