To the Trustees and Members of the American Museum of Natural History : I have the honor to submit herewith a statement of the pro- ceedings of the Museum for the year 1gor. Finances.—The Treasurer's Report is given on pages 41 to 47, inclusive, presenting in detail the receipts and disburse- ments for Endowment and Maintenance separately. Maintenance.—The estimated cost of maintaining the Museum, as shown in the Budget, approved by the Trustees, was $23,059 in excess of the city appropriation of $130,000. As the year progressed, circumstances permitted a reduction of the cost of maintenance, and the actual deficit December 31st was $17,773.75. This shortage in the receipts for main- tenance was, as heretofore, paid by the Trustees, who have contributed $268,167 for this purpose since the opening of the Museum. ; The subscriptions received from the Trustees and others whose names are noted in the Treasurer’s Report, enable the Museum to commence the new year with a cash surplus of $7,641.21. Endowment Fund.—The Trustees have received the legacy of $25,000 bequeathed to the Museum by their late colleague, Oswald Ottendorfer, and $5,000 from the estate of the late Henry Villard. These bequests were paid in full; the payment of the inheritance tax having been assumed by the executors. The entire sum will be invested and the income used solely for the increase and betterment of the collections. IO Report of the President. Bosarp or TRuSsTEES.—Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn was made a member of the Board of Trustees and elected Second Vice-President at the annual meeting held in Feb- ruary, Igor. MerEmBERSHIP.—During the past year the Museum gained 155 new annual subscribers; the loss by death and resigna- tion was 46, leaving a net gain of tog in this grade of mem- bership. Mrs. C. P. Huntington, Mrs. Frederick F. Thomp- son, Miss Susan Dwight Bliss and Messrs. John L. Cadwalader, George S. Bowdoin, Archer M. Huntington, George Foster Peabody, John D.

Thirty-five annual contributors, whose names are recorded at the close of the list of Annual Members, have died during the year. TRANSPORTATION.—I acknowledge with many thanks the valuable assistance received from several railroad companies in granting transportation to the persons engaged in the various expeditions sent into the field by the Museum. For these courtesies we are indebted to the following corporations : The Wabash and Missouri Pacific systems, Southern Pacific Company and connecting steamship lines, the Atchison, ee ‘bsqy ‘uvsioyy *q “[ Aq pajuasaad spersurpy JO uoioapjog yuoulag 943 ul UautIoods yw “AIVLI SINVIONVIO WONS YNHdI1NS es Report of the President. II Topeka & Santa Fé system, Denver & Rio Grande, Erie system, Chicago & Northwestern, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Burlington system, the Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Canadian Pacific and the Mexican Central and Mexican International Railway Companies. ATTENDANCE.—The use of the collections by public and private educational institutions is a marked feature of the work of the Museum; many of these pupils and teachers come from nearby towns and cities, nearly twenty per-cent repre- senting schools in New Jersey, while delegations from Con- necticut, Pennsylvania and Virginia are noteworthy. The record shows that 361 teachers and 4,959 pupils made use of the collections during the year. The total attendance of visitors during the year was 461,026. The Museum was closed in the evening during the Summer months to permit needed repairs to the lighting plant to be made. DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY.—The gift to the Museum by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan of the famous Bement collection of minerals at the close of the year 1900 was briefly noticed in my last Annual Report, but an extended reference to this col- lection, whichis one of the most valuable individual gifts ever received by the Museum, could not be made at the time of pre- paring that report, because the specimens had not then been unpacked and placed in the exhibition cases. The acquisition of this immense collection at once made desirable the erection of an independent Department of Mineralogy. The new de- partment was organized at the beginning of the year, and the Trustees installed as Curator, Mr. Louis P. Gratacap, who - had had the care of the minerals for several years, while they were still under the charge of the Curator of Geology. The shells remaining in the central hall on the fourth floor of the Museum building were removed to the fifth floor, the minerals of the former Museum collection were removed from ex- hibition in the desk cases in the western half of the same hall, and from the smaller hall, and the space thus freed-was de- LZ, Report of the President. ; voted to the installation of the newly-acquired Bement col- lection. ‘The Curator reports that this collection was found to contain about 12,000 specimens, all of them exhibition material of the highest grade, representative of most of the known established species. The available space, furthermore, was found to be inadequate to the proper display of the Bement collection alone, so that it became necessary to relegate all the best specimens of the old Museum collection to the drawers underneath the cases, to form a reserve or study collection, after sorting therefrom the material that could justly be considered to be duplicates. The preliminary arrangement of such a collection, which has been done in accordance with the latest edition of Dana’s System of Mineralogy and the preparation of the labels is a task of considerable magnitude. The installation was carried forward so rapidly, however, that it was feasible to throw the collection open to the view of the members of the Museum and their friends on Members’ Day, November 26, and to the general public soon thereafter. Many inquiries had been made before that date by the persons interested in miner- alogy as to when the Bement collection would be open to view, and the mineral halls have since been frequently visited both by students of the science and by those who are fond of minerals merely as objects of beauty. It is not too much to say that our Institution now possesses the best and most beautiful exhibition series of mineral specimens in this country, and one of the finest in the world. In his report the Curator calls attention to the facts that not more than half of this great collection has yet been provided with labels or installed on permanent mounts, and that much remains to be done in the way of providing group and explanatory labels, maps to show the geographical distribution of the more common and important minerals, and other accessories for rendering the collection attractive, intelligible and instructive to the average visitor. As apart of the Bement collection the Museum received a series of meteorites that deserves more than the passing notice which can be given it here. The meteorite collection ) Report of the President. 1B contains representatives of nearly five hundred falls and finds, and ranks as one of the largest collections of fragments of these visitors from space. At present, for lack of other case- room, these valuable and interesting specimens are crowded together in some of the desk cases. The Gem Collection.—At the outset of its existence the Department of Mineralogy was confronted with the problem of installing the Gem collection, which had been greatly enlarged, more than doubled, in fact, by the acquisition of the ‘magnificent Tiffany exhibit at the Universal Exposition at Paris. The purchase of this exhibit was made possible through the generosity of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, to whom, indeed, we were indebted for our first gem collection, a series of stones which compared favorably with others of its kind and gave delight and instruction to thousands of visitors. The gem collection has been installed in an attractive manner at the southern end of the hall west of the Mineral hall. To undertake an enumeration of the salient points of a collection like this would be quite without the scope of this report, but attention may be called to the marvelous display of cut and uncut materials in the groups of corundums (sapphires), beryls (emeralds), topazes, garnets, tourmalines, chrysoberyls (alex- andrites), opals, amethysts, diamonds, golds and pearls. The carved and engraved vases and other objects of jadeite, nephrite, rhodonite and rock crystal attract the notice of every visitor. A descriptive catalogue of this noble collection is being prepared by Mr. George F. Kunz. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALAON- ToLoGy.—The work of the Curator of the department carried the task of labeling the palzontological collection well for- ward, 2,187 exhibition labels, bearing generic, specific and authors’ names, geological formation and locality, having been prepared for individual specimens. The great amount of geological material which was received with the James Hall collection, and which has not been taken from the original boxes heretofore for lack of room in which to store the speci- pate Report of the President. mens, has been carefully sorted and the valuable portion placed in drawers where it is accessible. The large collection of fossil remains of fish and other organisms from the Mt. Lebanon region in Syria, presented by the Protestant College at Beirtit, through Rev. D. Stuart Dodge, D.D., of this city, is the most important gift received by the department during the year. Caring for this material required considerable time and attention. The publication of the Catalogue of types and figured speci- mens in the paleontological collection of the department, which has been in progress for several years, has been com- pleted. This Catalogue emphasizes in marked manner the im- portance of this portion of the Museum’s property, and the work upon it has developed the fact that above one thousand more types and figured specimens are in the collection than were originally supposed to be there. The following extract © from the preface of the volume of the Awlletin which is de- voted to the Catalogue will indicate clearly the scope and character of the work and the collection: ““The chief palzsontological possession of the Geological Department of the American Museum of Natural History is the great James Hall collection which was purchased in 1875 from the celebrated paleontologist, and the principal feature of that collection is the large number of type and other illus- trated specimens, especially of Paleeozoic species, which it contains. This Hall collection may well be considered the standard reference collection for all workers in North American Paleozoic paleontology; hence the desirability of publishing a complete record of these valuable specimens. Other collections have been added to the department from time to time through exchange and other means, but with few exceptions they contain no types. Most of the ‘“fioured specimens” in the series are those which were identified, redescribed, illustrated and published by Professor Hall in the early volumes of the Paleeon- tology of New York, and therefore have almost the dignity and value of types. ‘Of the specimens described and illustrated in the quarto volumes of the Paleontology of New York, the Museum possesses two-thirds of those in Volume I, covering the Cambrian and Lower Silurian systems; nearly eight- tenths of those in Volume II, extending from the Medina to the Onondaga stages, inclusive; three-fourths of those in Volume III, which treats of the Lower Helderberg and Oriskany groups; more than one-third of those in Volume IV, which describes the Brachiopoda of the Devonian system from the Upper Helderberg to the Chemung; about thirty per cent. of the speci- mens illustrated in Volume V, Part I, which is devoted to the Lamellibranchi- ata of the Upper Helderberg (or Corniferous), Hamilton and Chemung groups; and a nearly equal proportion of the Cephalopoda and Gastropoda illustrated in Volume V, Part II. The collection, however, contains only about 74 of the specimens of Bryozoa given in Volume VI, and about 70 of the Crustacea illustrated in Volume VII of the Paleontology of New York. Much of the UINTACRINUS SOCIALIS Grinnell. FOSSIL CRINOID FROM KANSAS. Slab five feet four inches long and three feet two inches wide. Gift from Frank Springer, Esq. Report of the President. 15 material for Volume VIII, on the Brachiopoda, was prepared for publication prior to 1876, hence a large proportion of the specimens used for illustrations are to be found in the ‘American Museum, especially of those used for the plates bearing the name of R. P. Whitfield. ‘*Most of the species in the volumes above mentioned were first published in the Regents’ Reports on the Condition of the State Cabinet (or State Museum, as it is now called), but material from other States than New York was also used in these reports, and the American Museum has the fossils from the Wisconsin-Minnesota Cambrian beds described and figured in the sixteenth Report; the Niagara material from Waldron, Ind., published in the twenty-eighth Report; and the graptolites and the Wisconsin Niagara species given in the twentieth Report. The Trenton fossils from Wisconsin described in the Report of Progress of the Geological Survey of Wisconsin for 1861 are here, and the original descriptions have been republished with illus- trations and notes by R. P. Whitfield in the Memoirs of the American Museum of Natural History, Volume I, Part IJ. The Museum has all the Warsaw fossils from Spergen Hill, Ind., originally published without figures by Hall in the Transactions of the Albany Institute, Volume IV, and republished by Whitfield with figures in Bulletin Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., Vol. I. The collec- tion also includes the type fossils from the Clinton beds at Arisaig, Nova Scotia, described by Hall in Volume V of the Canadian Naturalist and Geolo- gist; many of the Devonian and higher forms described by the same author in the Geology of Iowa and the Supplement to the Iowa Report, the latter being republished with figures, by Whitfield in Mem. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., Vol. I, Part I; several type specimens of the Dictyospongidz, some of which have been described by Whitfield in the Bulletin of the Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., Vol. I, and others by Hall and Clarke ina Memoir on the Paleozoic Reticulate Sponges; Hall and Meek’s types from the Cretaceous of the Bad Lands of Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming, described in the Memoirs of the American Academy of Science and Arts, Vol. V; the fruits and seeds from the Eocene beds at Brandon, Vt., described by Lesquereux and published in Hitchcock’s Geology of Vermont, and some of the Cephalopoda, Gastropoda and Lamelli- branchiata described by Whitfield in his U. S. Geological Survey monographs on the Cretaceous and Tertiary fossils of New Jersey. The Museum also has the Holmes collection, which includes more than two hundred of the speci- mens described and figured in Tuomey and Holmes’s Pleiocene Fossils of South Carolina and in Francis S. Holmes’s work on the Post-Pleiocene Fossils of South Carolina. The fossils described in the various bulletins and memoirs of the American Museum of Natural History are here as a matter of course. In addition to the republication of certain of Hall’s types already mentioned, there have been described and illustrated in the Bulletin a large series of fossils of Chazy and Birdseye age from Fort Cassin, Vt., Beekmantown, N. Y., and other localitieson Lake Champlain, and many Cretaceous forms from Beirit, Syria, and from Jamaica, W. I. ““The term ‘type’, as - employed in the Geological Department of the American Museum, embraces not only the specimens actually used by an author in the original description of a species, but also those specimens which have been used by the same author in the further elucidation of the species in subsequent publications. The types may or may not have been illustrated in connection with the first publication. ‘Figured specimen’ is the term ap- plied here to the specimens which have been identified with a species by another person than the author of the species and which have been illustrated in some publication. From the standpoint of the student and investigator, types are the most valuable portion of any collection, and. should, therefore, be marked in some conspicuous manner and be preserved with the greatest 16 Report of the President. care. All the types and figured specimens in this Department are individual- ized by the use of a small rhomb of emerald green paper securely gummed to each,” Asis shown in the following tabular summary, there are in this department of the Museum 8,345 type and figured speci- mens, representing 2,721 species and 1go varieties: TYPES.

O. Hovey, the Associate Curator of the department, spent about two months in-the field, collecting invertebrate fossils from Jurassic and Cretaceous beds at various localities in the Black Hills region of South Dakota and Wyoming. The Jurassic fossils were especially needed, but the Cretaceous forms are likewise of great value, some of them enabling Professor Whitfield to complete im- portant investigations which he began in 1876, when at work on the fossils collected by Messrs. Newton and Jenney for the United States Geological Survey of the Black Hills. Accessions.—Next to the fossil remains from Mt. Lebanon, Syria, already mentioned, the chief donation to- the depart- ment was a large and handsome slab of crinoids from the Niobrara Chalk beds of Kansas, given by Frank Springer, Report of the President. 17 Esq., of East Las Vegas, New Mexico. There has been de- posited with the Museum by the Geological Board of Georgia a series of handsome eight-inch cubes illustrating the building stones of that State. The series, which was collected for the State of Georgia by Dr. W. S. Yeates, State Geologist, com- prises thirty-eight specimens and includes gray, homogeneous granite of several shades, porphyritic granite, gneiss, sand- stone, limestone and mottled and white marble. Mention should be made also of fossil cycad trunks from the Jurassic (?) beds of the Black Hills, obtained early in the year by purchase. These additions and some minor purchases, together with the ma- terial collected in the Black Hills, have rendered the year an unusual one in the growth of the department. It is to be hoped that the rate of increase and improvement can be maintained in the future. _ DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY. — The Curator of this department reports that the growth of the collections under his charge has been unusually and satis- factorily large; 1,512 specimens having been added to the series of mammals and 3,195 specimens to the series of birds. One hundred and sixty mammals were received in the flesh by donation from the New York Zodélogical Society and the Central Park Menagerie. Among these there are several specimens of great importance. The museum is indebted, furthermore, to the Duke of Loubat for a valuable collection numbering 120 specimens of mammals and rio birds from the State of Jalisco, Mexico, presented by him. Seven bird groups have been placed in the exhibition halls, through the generosity of Mr. John L. Cadwalader, who provided the means for the collection and preparation of the specimens. The acquisitions through museum expeditions have been largely in excess of those obtained in this manner in previous years, and have included an immense amount of valuable material. This work for the department has been carried on by Mr. Samuel L. Klages in Venezuela, by Mr. N. G. Buxton in Siberia, under the auspices of the Jesup North Pacific ex- pedition, by Mr. J. H. Batty in Chiriqui and Panama, and by 18 Report of the President. Mr. H. H. Smith in Colombia. Furthermore, an expedition known as the A. J. Stone Expedition was organized early in the year by Madison Grant, Esq., and other friends of the Museum, the work of which is to cover a period of three years. Mr. Stone, accompanied by an assistant from the Museum, reached Alaska at the opening of the season, and collected mainly on the Kenai and Alaskan peninsulas. The results of the first season’s work are very satisfactory, includ- ing about fifty large mammals, obtained with special reference to mounting in groups, about two hundred small mammals, and several hundred birds. Since the Museum has never before received collections from this part of America, these specimens form a very important addition to our collections. The following groups representing birds and their habits have been added to the series in our halls: The Bird Rock Islands of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, a large group illustra- ting several kinds of sea birds; the Red-winged Blackbird, the Marsh Wren, the Phalarope, the Water Ousel, the Coot, the Yellow-headed Blackbird, the Passenger Pigeon. An illus- trated ‘‘ Guide Leaflet”’ of twenty-four pages descriptive of the Bird Rock Group was prepared by Mr. Frank M. Chap- man, the Associate Curator, and issued as a supplement to the American Museum Journal for October. This description has proved to be of great interest and value to visitors. DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.—The Curator of the Department of Anthropology reports that a large amount of work has been done by the several divisions and sections, but that much remains to be done before matters will be in readi- ness for the Thirteenth International Congress of Americanists which convenes at the American Museum in October, 1902. During the year to which this Report refers, expeditions un- der the auspices of this department were maintained in several parts of the United States, both east and west, and in Alaska, British Columbia, Mexico, Central America, Bolivia, Peru, Greenland, Siberia, Japan, Corea and China, resulting in large additions to the collections and furnishing much material for description as well as for exhibition. ‘The results which vel ‘dNOYS YOOY Auld AHL 4O 41VH 1441 a kia a ae ah a ae al Zavolpang RRA HARM BY OMA IERIE EAN LAOREET: neste Report of the President. 19 thus far have followed from these expeditions have received favorable comment from scientific institutions and individuals both at home and abroad. With the accumulations of the past year, however, and the vast amount of material which will arrive at the Museum during the coming year, the cost of publishing the memoirs resulting from these extensive inves- tigations naturally becomes a serious item. It does not seem proper to ask those who have generously placed parties in the field, also to provide the funds for publishing the scientific results of their investigations ; on the other hand, the general funds of the Museum are not sufficient to meet the obligation. The Jesup North Pacific Expedition.—The work of the Jesup expedition has progressed satisfactorily, and important col- lections have been received from Mr. James Teit, Mr. George Hunt, Dr. John R. Swanton and Dr. C. F. Newcombe, and from Messrs. W. Jochelson and W. Bogoras. The collections of Messrs. Jochelson and Bogoras open up an entirely new field for the Museum, illustrating as they do the life of all the tribes of the extreme northeastern part of Siberia. The in- vestigations of these gentlemen among the Chukchee, the Koryak and Yukagheer tribes, which live on the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk, have been completed and the material col- lected during their course has been forwarded to the Museum. Mr. Bogoras is on his way to New York, but Mr. Jochelson is still in Siberia. The collection of models of totem poles, with full explana- tions, made by Dr. Swanton is particularly worthy of mention, and he has succeeded by means of this collection in ilustra- ting the significance of these peculiar emblems. One of the most striking objects sent in from the Queen Charlotte Islands is a large, well-preserved totem pole fully fifty feet in height. This has been erected in the open space of the stairway in the West Corridor hall. Dr. Swanton’s collections also include a series of beautifully carved spoons, with full explanations of their ornamentation. A large part of Mr. Hunt’s collections was obtained at the northern end of Vancouver Island. A 20 Report of the President. group illustrating the life of the tribes living along the Amur river has been prepared and is awaiting a suitable case. The Mrs. Morris K. Jesup Expedition.—Early in the year Dr. A. L. Kroeber finished his field work in connection with the investigation of the Arapaho Indians, and his collections at present form the main portion of our material from the Indians of the plains. The publication of the results of the important investigations which have been carried on among the Arapaho remains to be done, the completed manuscript and illustrations being already in hand. A large group containing many small figures representing the religious ceremony of the Arapaho, known as the ‘‘Sun Dance,” has been prepared. The Huntington Expedition.—The field work of the Hunting- ton California expedition of 1900 came to a close early this year, and the collections received from this. expedition, which was in the charge of Dr. Roland B. Dixon, are all on exhibition. Mrs. C. P. Huntington and Mr. Archer M. Huntington have provided for the continuance of this work, in which the late Mr. Collis P. Huntington was so much interested. The B. T. B. Hydeand F. E. Hyde, Jr., Expedition.—Owing to the large amount of work to be done on material collected by this expedition in former years, in order to get it catalogued and ready for exhibition, field work in the Southwest was largely suspended. Some of the material mentioned in my last report as having been obtained by this expedition has been arranged in the cases in the southwestern portion of the West hall of the second floor. Especial attention may be called to the remarkable collection from the burial caves and cliff houses of the Grand Gulch region in Utah, to the collections from the Zuni and Hopi Pueblos and to the extensive display of turquoise ornaments and other objects from the ruined Pueblo Bonito in the Chaco cafion, New Mexico. All the available cases, however, have been filled, and only a very small portion of the Hyde expedition material has been actually placed on exhibition. The Messrs. Hyde have generously provided for Report of the President. 21 the publication of Dr. Washington Matthews’ important ac- count of the Navaho ceremony known as the ‘‘ Night Chant.” This is a valuable contribution to American ethnology, and is the result of more than twenty years’ work by the author. Dr. Matthews’ account will form an entire volume of our Museum Memoirs, with several plates and text illustrations, and will be issued early in 1902. Mexican Expedition.—Mr. M. H. Saville spent the winter of 1900-Igol in continuing his explorations of the ruins of Mitla, under the grant made for the purpose by the Duke of Loubat. The scientific results of these explorations are important, and have led to the solution of several problems connected with the architecture of the celebrated ruins in the vicinity of Mitla. The expedition also succeeded in obtaining a pre- Columbian map or ‘‘lienzo”’ on native cloth, which is a unique example of this class of American codices, and a specimen of Mexican painting on maguey paper, consisting of a map of Teotihuacan. These maps have been framed and placed on exhibition in the Mexican hall. The department furthermore has received two reproductions of pre-Columbian codices from the Duke of Loubat, the Tonalamatl Aubin and the Codex Fejervary-Mayer, which add greatly to our exhibit of ancient - Mexican picture writings. The Duke of Loubat having provided for another expedition to Mexico, Mr. Saville left New York about the middle of December to complete the work at Mitla, and to carry on ex- plorations in the Oaxaca valley. Expedition to China.—Through the generosity of a friend of the Museum, who desires to have his name withheld, our institution has been enabled to enter upon ethnological inves- tigations in China. This work has been intrusted to Dr. Berthold Laufer. Two collections are the result of the first year’s work of this expedition, one of which has been received and the other is on its way to New York. The undertaking is to continue for three years, and will furnish us with abun- tN No Report of the President. dant material for illustrating the essential features of the life of the Chinese people. Explorations in New Jersey.—The exploration of the Dela- ware Valley, provided for by Dr. F. E. Hyde, has been continued by Mr. Ernest Volk, asin previous years, and many important facts relating to the occupation of the region about Trenton in: very early times and bearing upon the evidence of pre- Glacial man in America have been obtained. On account of extensive excavations now being made by the Pennsylvania Railroad Co., exceptional opportunities for the further in- vestigation of the Trenton gravel deposits are offered, and the Museum is to be congratulated upon the fact that Dr. Hyde has provided for the continuation of the research through the coming year. The vast amount of material obtained in the Delaware valley by Mr. Volk, during his long-continued ex- plorations for the Museum, has been unpacked and assorted by him and arranged in trays according to the localities and special excavations, but it has not been catalogued, on ac- count of the importance of having the explorer himself attend to the work. Local Explorations.—During the summer, the work in local archeology was continued, and rock-shelters near Westchester were explored from which much of importance relating to early Indian life was learned. Most of the season was devoted to the study of several village sites and shell heaps on Long Island, especially to some near Oyster Bay and Glen Cove. At the latter place the work was greatly facilitated by the active codperation of Mr. G. J. Price, on whose family estate many of the researches were made. ‘The opportunities for investigations of this kind are rapidly disappearing, and every effort should be put forth to secure all available material, in order to give an accurate picture of the Indian life of the coast at the time of the arrival of our own race. Additional contributions are needed for this work. In the North hall the whole Emmons Alaskan collection was re-arranged according to tribes and the material con- ‘uonlpedxy apAy “HVLN NYSLSVAHLNOS WOYS SLOSPAO YAHLO GNV SLAMSVE OINOLSIHAYd JO 3SVvVO Report of the President. Be. siderably condensed, changes which were made necessary by the important additions from the Jesup North Pacific expe- dition. The accumulation of additional material from the North American Indians made it necessary to remove part of the Lumholtz Mexican material to the temporary ‘‘ Missionary Hall~ in the southeast corner of the second floor. The Pueblo pottery was moved to the second floor, and the cases formerly occupied by it have been devoted to southwestern basketry. All the South Sea material, furthermore, has been removed from the West hall and replaced by Eskimo material and by the rest of the Laufer material from the Amur river. The detailed re-arrangement of the North hall is still in pro- egress. The West and Southwest halls on the second floor have been opened to the public. The former contains at present a portion of the material sent from China by Dr. Laufer, the Pueblo pottery, the Briggs collection of baskets and a small portion of the extensive collections made in the Southwest by the Hyde expedition. Especially noteworthy in the last-named collec- tions, is the display of baskets and other material from the graves of the ‘‘ Basket Makers” of southeastern Utah. The Southwest hall contains an exhibit illustrating in part the archeology of the United States. ‘Among its special features there is a representation of the culture of tribes once in- habiting the Saginaw Valley, Michigan. This collection was made by Mr. Harlan I. Smith, the Assistant Curator of the department, during his residence in the region previous to his connection with this institution, and it has been presented to the Museum by him. He has arranged the collection with illustrative photographs and maps, and has prepared a descrip- tive guide leaflet with numerous illustrations. All of the South American archeological collections have now been placed on exhibition, except the series from Santa Marta, Colombia, recently received from Mr. F. C. Nicholas. They occupy the West Gallery Hall. The acquisition of the Gaffron collection, recently purchased by the Trustees, has greatly increased the importance of the Peruvian exhibit. The Garces collection of gold and silver objects from the Lake 24 Report of the President. Titicaca region, a gift from Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan in a former year, and a number of other similar objects, none of which have been exhibited before, have been arranged ina special case in this hall. The large additions to the South American collection during the past two years makes necessary the re-arrangement of many of the cases before their final labeling can be accomplished. In order to further the North American research work, an agreement has been made with the Bureau of Ethnology in Washington, by means of which the Bureau contributes cer- tain sums for linguistic research, while the Museum pays for ethnological field work, a plan of codperation which is proy- ing very satisfactory. During the last year two expeditions were in the field working on (this basis, Mr Bebe sE: Clair, Jr., collecting among the Shoshone of Wyoming and: Oregon, and Mr. William Jones among the Sac and Fox Indians of Nebraska. Both these gentlemen brought back valuable collections. Work among the caves and old village sites of British Columbia, begun in a modest way during the year, has yielded very interesting results and should be continued. During the summer a series of casts was made at the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa., supplementing our collection illus- trating the physiology and ethnology of the North American Indians. In connection with the North American Archeological ex- hibit in the Southwest hall, there have been arranged two cases, illustrating the artifacts of the Iroquois and Algonkin Indians of New York State, and in other cases are exhibited the collections from village sites, rock shelters, shell heaps and various places in and near the city of New York, which had been explored under the direction of the department. Furthermore, a model of one of the rock-shelters explored in Westchester has been made in order to illustrate one phase in the life of the New York Indians. To make this exhibit still more instructive, there has been prepared a model show- ing the layers of accumulated material inthe shelter, near Report of the President. 25 which have been placed the objects found in the upper and lower deposits. . The human skulls which have been obtained in connection with the Hyde expedition in the southwest, andthe Villard and other expeditions in Peru have been arranged geograph- ically and studied by Dr. Hrdlicka, who has prepared for pub- lication an elaborate memoir on the physical characters of the peoples of the southwest. Special attention is called to the Ainu collection secured by Professor Bashford Dean of Columbia University during his recent visit to Japan. By the kindness of Arthur Curtiss James, Esq., to whom we are indebted already for much Ainu material, this collection has been added to our series illus- trating the culture of that interesting tribe. DEPARTMENT OF ENroMOLOGY.—The Curator of Entomol- ogy reports that the arrangement of the exhibition collection of Beetles has progressed considerably during the year, and that it is now fairly well advanced. Enlarged drawings of some of the minute forms have been made and placed in the cases near the specimens. Such illustrations enable the vis- itor to form an idea of the nature of objects otherwise too small for. exhibition. In March the Museum issued a Memoir on the Sesiidz, or Clearwinged Moths, of America north of Mexico, by the Curator. The monograph consists of one hundred thirty-eight pages of text, with twenty-four text cuts and eight plates. The Very Reverend Eugene A. Hoffman has continued his generous gifts to the department by donating more than one thousand butterflies. These are being mounted on plaster of Paris exhibition tablets, ready for display as soon as cases have been provided for their reception. This calls attention to the fact that there are already more than two thousand such specimens on hand which cannot be exhibited for lack of case room. During the autumn the Curator spent his vacation in the Black Mountains of North Carolina continuing his in- vestigations of the previous year. This expedition added to the collections of the department more than three thousand 26 Report of the President. specimens, including many new as well as many very rare species. Mr. Beutenmiiller has in preparation a monograph on ‘‘ The Insect Fauna of the Black Mountains, North Caro- lina.’”’ On account of certain peculiarities, the study of the insect fauna of this restricted region is of high importance to science, and it is to be hoped that some friend of the Museum will enable him to carry his investigations in the region to satisfactory completion. Field work in the vicinity of New York City has been done by the Curator and his assistant, Mr. C. Scheffer, and has added many specimens of several species to the local collection. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALZONTOLOGY.—The chief event of the year was the establishment of a fund by one of our Trustees, Mr. William C. Whitney, for obtaining material to illustrate the evolution of the Horse. This enabled the Curator to send two expeditions into the field—one to eastern Colorado and one to Texas, both of which were highly suc- cessful. The Colorado party found a superb skeleton of the three-toed marsh-living Horse, Anchithertum, besides portions of several skeletons of the plains-living Horses and Asses. The Texas party discovered a rich quarry of Horse remains of more modern type, including the ancestor of the South American Hzppidium. The Curator hopes to secure every step in the wonderful evolution of the Horse from the small ancestor, less than four hands high, from the lower Eocene, to the larger Horses of the lower Pleistocene, which were finally destroyed during the Ice Age. A skilled osteological pre- parator also has been engaged upon an exhibit of the varieties of the modern Horse produced through the agency of human selection; such as the Shetland, the Percheron and the various race horses. Together with this series are prepara- tions of the skull illustrating the growth of the teeth and of the limbs and other parts illustrating the entire mechanics of the skeleton. Mr. Charles R. Knight has painted a set of water colors of the living types of Asiatic and African horses. Altogether this exhibit promises to be one of the most popular and instructive in the Museum.

Among them was the shell of a great Glyptodont, or armored Edentate, the first discovered in North America. Numerous remains of Camels, Rhin- oceroses and the skull and skeleton of the great fossil Dog, Dinocyon, were also found. The exploration for Dinosaurs, begun by the Museum in 1897, was continued in western Colorado, in the Black Hills region of South Dakota and in the Laramie Plains of central Wyoming. At the last point, the Bone Cabin Quarry, famous for the great discoveries that have been made there, was worked for a fourth season, yielding a number of very rare Dinosaur skulls more or less complete. Inthis same region another quarry, together with a quantity of very large Dinosaur bones, was purchased. © The car-load of material thus obtained was loaded and transported directly to the East through the courtesy of Messrs. E. H. Harriman and J. P. Morgan. The department has been enriched not only by the expedi- tions, but also by exchanges with foreign museums. Chief among these is the superb specimen of an Ichthyosaur, or Fish-lizard, presented by the Royal Museum of Stuttgart through Prof. Eberhard Fraas. Itis remarkable as contain- ing seven young Ichthyosaurs. Two noteworthy purchases have been made: ‘The first, a magnificent Cretaceous fish belonging to the genus Portheus, allied to Chirocentrus, now found only in the Indian Ocean; and the second, a skull of a southern variety of the mammoth, Zlephas imperator, with a pair of large tusks more than thirteen feet in length. Reproductions of restorations made in the department have been sent to museums in various parts of the world, and new series of casts have been prepared. Among these the casts illustrating the evolution of the feet of the Horse and the Camel are of special note. The scientific work of the Department has continued, sev- eral bulletins by the Curator and his associates anda valuable memoir on the fossil mammals of eastern Colorado having been published. 28 Report of the President. Professor Osborn not only contributed largely to the maintenance of field expeditions, as shown in the Treasurer’s Report, but also spent his entire salary in promoting the work of his department. DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—This depart- ment * was established in January, 1901, with Professor Her- mon C. Bumpus, as Curator. George H. Sherwood, A. M., assumed the duties of Assistant Curator in the following No- vember. The material which has come into its care was pre- viously under the charge of Professor R. P. Whitfield, Curator of Geology and Invertebrate Palzontology, whose energy and skill have been largely instrumental in assembling a collection in this branch of natural science which is of acknowledged credit to our institution. The series of corals is particularly fine, ranking with the best in the world. The West-Indian forms were almost all obtained by Professor Whitfield during his vacations. The most important accession to the depart- ment during the past year was a remarkable series of siliceous sponges which was purchased for the Museum by Professor Bashford Dean of Columbia University, during his recent visit to the Orient. The collection comprises thirty-seven speci- mens, representing twenty-six species distributed among six- teen genera. Among the specimens are several fine examples of the beautiful ‘‘ Venus’ Flower Basket” and related forms. This Department has been given the charge of reptiles, batrachians and fishes, in addition to the invertebrate animals, and the Curator reports that much work has been done in the line of overhauling the large amount of material which had accumulated in the preceding thirty years. For lack of available exhibition space, almost all the specimens in these three great branches of Natural History have been relegated to storage, until the hall in the southeast corner of the ground floor can be fitted up with suitable cases for their reception and exhibition. The principal additions to the collection of * Insects are under the care of Wm. Beutenmiiller, Curator of Entomology, and molluscs are retained by L. P. Gratacap, Curator of Mineralogy. Report of the President. 29 reptiles and batrachians have come from the New York Zodlog- ical Society, the Central Park Managerie and the New York Aquarium. The collection of fishes on exhibition in the Museum is very small, and consists mainly of painted wax and plaster models, resembling but shghtly the fish in nature. All known methods of preserving and exhibiting fishes are unsatisfactory, but experiments for the purpose of devising some suitable means of presenting them in their natural environment and natural colors are under way, and we are warranted in saying that progress toward this desirable end has been made. Popular interest in the fishes is great, and a large exhibit of them is needed. The acquisitions to this section of the Department have been considerable during the year. Through the courtesy of the Honorable George M. Bowers, the United States Commis- sioner of Fish and Fisheries, we have received a fine collection of Puerto Rican fishes, collected by the United States Fish Commission Steamer ‘‘ Fish Hawk” during the investigation of the fisheries of Puerto Rico by the Government, in 1899. There are nearly two hundred specimens in the collection, representing eighty-four species, and all are in a good State of preservation. From the Jesup North Pacific expedition there have been received one hundred forty-three fishes and several reptiles and invertebrates, which were collected by Mr. N. G. Buxton in Vladivostok Harbor and Lake Khanka, in eastern Siberia. Since the fauna of that region is little known, doubtless several new species will be found in the col- lection. One of the most.striking needs of the various sec- tions of this department is a series of local collections of familiar forms, arranged in groups to correspond with those which are used to such good effect in several other parts of the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF CONCHOLOGY.—At the beginning of the year, when the departments, which, for many years, had been under the care of the Curator of Geology, were subdivided, the collection of shells was removed to the charge of Mr. 30 Report of the President. Gratacap, the Curator of Mineralogy. He reports that, on account of the devotion of the central hall on the fourth floor of the Museum to the Bement collection of minerals, the shells formerly exhibited there were removed to the fifth floor, and most of them were placed in drawers for storage. The present condition of the conchological collection empha- sizes in very marked manner the need of a much larger hall for its appropriate exhibition. The famous Binney and Bland collection of American land shells, for instance, which con- tains many type specimens, is necessarily kept in storage drawers from lack of space for displaying it. The work done on the shell collection has included the preparation and placing of more than 2,000 individual labels in addition to maps, photographs and diagrams. ‘The experti- ment is being tried of placing on exhibition aquaria showing some of the more familiar molluscs in their natural surround- ings. The popularity of this feature of the Hall of Conchology is marked, and indicates the desirability of .increasing the number of such exhibits. On account of the number of type specimens which it contains, the Binney and Bland collection of land shells was made the subject of an extended article by the Curator, which was published in the Museum 4uletn, with five maps showing distribution. ; The department is indebted to Mr. Frederick A. Constable for a valuable accession to its collections, consisting of about 18,000 specimens, representing about 4,000 species. The same gentleman-has given to the Library a large number of much- needed works on conchology. NortH AMERICAN FoREsSTRyY.—The chief event in the his- tory of the Jesup collection of North American Forestry was the addition of twenty-one water-color paintings by Mrs. C. S. Sargent to the series illustrative of leaves, flowers and fruits, which has been prepared at the expense of your President. PuBLICATIONS.—In the line of publications the scientific staff of the Museum has been very active during the past year ‘Auvwiases ‘jav5}3NIS ‘unasny [eAoY 94} YIM aduvyoxs Sq paalecay “S4NO ONNOA ONINIVLNOO GHVZIT-HSI4 LVSYD SHL ‘3peisuend SNSSIOSIYGVND SNYNVSOAHLHOI Report of the President. 31 and the amount of matter issued was greater than during any other like period in our history. Of the octavo Audletin there were published Part IV of Vol. XI, with 160 pages of text, comprising the catalogue of type and figured fossils noticed at greater length in another part of this Report; Vol. XIV, consisting of 422 pages, with 63 text figures and 46 plates, and Part I of Vol. XV, consisting of 370 pages, with 172 text figures and 4 plates, descriptive of the Eskimo of Baffin Land and Hudson Bay. Six parts of the quarto AZemozrs, belong- ing to different volumes, were put through the press, though three of them were not actually issued until a few days after the end of the year, and therefore bear date of January, 1902. - These parts contain in all 766 pages of text; and are illustrated with 82 text figures and 49 plates. The publication of Zhe American Museum Journal, which was begun in April, 1900, has been continued, and may now be considered to have passed the experimental stage. Mr. W. K. Gregory, who served the periodical as manag- ing editor during the early and trying portion of its career, desiring to take up work exclusively in the line of verte- brate paleontology, Dr. E. O. Hovey was asked to assume the editorship of the Journal in September, with Messrs. Chapman, Gratacap and Gregory as an advisory board. Certain changes were instituted in the publication, the principal of which was the addition of an illustrated supplement to each number in the shape of a popular guide leaflet to some exhibit or group of exhibits in the Museum. Before the end of the year two numbers were issued, one with a guide leaflet on the Bird Rock Group, by Frank M. Chapman, and one with a similar description of the Saginaw Valley collection in the Anthropological Department, by Harlan I. Smith. These brochures evidently meet a popular want, for there is constant demand for them on the part of visitors. The distribution of the articles in the Awl/etin and the Memoirs, according to the departments from which they have emanated, is as follows: a2 Report of the President.

Liprary.—The history of the library for the past year has been one of constant growth. The number of individual donors has increased, and there have been more accessions from the individuals and institutions on our exchange list than during the preceding year. The principal accessions have come from General Egbert L. Viele and Mr. Frederick A. Constable, the volumes from the latter pertaining specially to conchology. The total number of volumes, parts and pamph- lets received is equivalent to 2,619 bound volumes, making the total number of volumes or their equivalent in the library at the present time 55,308. ‘The books have beenvenygiexe tensively used by members and visitors, as well as by our scientific staff, but there have been calls for hundreds of books not on our shelves, which, however, should be in our possession. The branches of natural science which need especial development in the line of books and periodicals are: Forestry, Herpetology, Anthropology, Invertebrate Zoology, Mineralogy and Mining. A considerable sum, furthermore, could be used to advantage in the purchase of missing num- bers and parts of scientific periodicals. Report of the President. 35 Following is a list of the most important individual acces- sions during the history of the library: The John C. Jay Conchological Library. Donated in 1874 by Miss Catharine L. Wolfe, and greatly increased in later years by the donor. The Carson Brevoort Library on Fishes and General Zodlogy.

LECTURES AND CONVENTIONS. DEPARTMENT OF PuBLic INSTRUCTION.—The regular courses of Lectures to Teachers, which are given by Professor Albert S. Bickmore under the terms of a contract with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, have been continued during the year, with a marked increase of attendance, made possible by the opening of the new lecture hall. By request of the Trustees, Professor Bickmore has given two courses of four lectures each to the members of the Museum and their friends, and four lectures on legal holidays. City Board of Education.—Even the greater accommodations afforded by the new auditorium, however, have not been suf- ficient to seat all the persons desiring to attend the free lectures given under the auspices of the Board of Education. In the fall, therefore, the Board decided to give, in coépera- tion with the Museum, a course of lectures on Saturday even- ings, in addition to the regular Tuesday evening course. The Saturday evening lectures have been of a more scientific character than those given on Tuesday evenings. The total number of lectures in the Museum provided by the city was thirty-seven. Other lectures have been given in the Museum by arrange- ment with Columbia University and the Linnzean Society of New York. The annual convention of the American Ornithologists’ Union was held in the halls of the Museum from the 12th to the 14th of November. The national conference of the Audubon Societies of America was held here on November 14, and many regular meetings of the Linnzan Society of New York, the New York Entomological Society and the New York Mineralogical Club have been held in the Reading Room of the Library and elsewhere in the Museum building. Ar- rangements have now been perfected for fitting up a small meeting room capable of seating about one hundred and fifty persons and adapted to the needs of such conventions.

On examining the Treasurer’s report, to be found on pages Ar to 47, inclusive, you will not fail to note the very large and gratifying increase in the subscriptions for special ex- peditions and for the increase of the collections in other ways. 40 Report of the President. The increase, too, in the list of annual and life members is very encouraging to those who have the interests of the Museum at heart. We, nevertheless, need increased funds. Our Museum, in coédperation with the public schools, has be- come an important educational factor in the community. It is a place of recreation for thousands, who find an instructive value in the exhibition and lecture halls. The work of its scientific staff, both at home and in the field, is a credit to the city and a satisfaction to those who have felt the pleasure of personally assisting in the furtherance of a great enterprise. In closing this, my twenty-first annual report, I desire to record my appreciation of the continuation of the cordial and substantial support given me by my colleagues on the Board of Trustees; of the codperation of the city officials at the points where the Museum has come in contact with the gov- ernment of the Borough of Manhattan, and of the efficient service rendered by the scientific and administrative: staff of the Museum.

ANSON Wee EAR: GUSTAV “The Elistory ef the Barly Contact between America and the Old World. : To make the preliminary arrangements for the Congress and the discussions pertaining to the foregoing topics, a special committee was appointed, consisting of the heads of the departments of Anthropology, and your President invited the American Association for the Advancement of Science through its section of Anthropology to advise and coéperate with that committee in selecting a general commis- sion of organization, representative of the leading institutions in the United States at which work in Anthropology is being done. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PAL#ON- TOLOGY. —The Curator’s time has been spent in the regular routine work of the Department; indeed, we feel more and more the responsibility connected with the general supervision of the large collections intrusted to our care. The work of revising the classification strips has been com- pleted, and the labeling and identification of the Tertiary and later collections undertaken. Certain other, unlabeled, col- lections and a collection of casts of important fossils, donated by the Curator, have been installed. Among the Tertiary collections, those of Miocene fossils from Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, and vicinity, are the most important. During the summer, these collections were all worked over, put in order and prepared for exhibition. The collections are extremely interesting and valuable, quite as much because of their peculiar faunal properties as for their geographical location. The total number of labels added to the collection during the year was 1,969. 14 Report of the President. Dr. Hay, of the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology, has worked over all the fossils, fishes and fish remains of the chronological collection. These will be included in a catalogue of fossil fish which he is compiling for publication. He has found many new and unidentified forms among the Syrian fish, upon which he is preparing an article. The paleontological department has received many valuable accessions by purchase, and one donation is worthy of special note, that is, eight speci- mens of Cambrian Trilobite from Professor George H. Perking of the University of Vermont. The Department is also under obligations to Dr. Bashford Dean for his supervision of work on the restoration of Dinichthys. Two articles were published by the Curator, one on a new form of marine Algee, fossilin the Niagara shale, and one on anew Trilobite from the Marcellus shale, the latter credited to Professor C. H. Hitchcock, who subsequently presented the specimen to the Museum. At the arrival of the news of the disaster in Martinique, Dr. Hovey, the Associate Curator of the Department, was imme- diately detailed by the President to investigate the causes of the eruptions, and in May, 1902, he sailed from New York on his first expedition to Martinique and St. Vincent. His efficient field work, quick inductions and prompt publication have not only placed the name of the Museum among the leading contributors to seismology, but his rational treatment of volcanic phenomena in general, and the eruptions of Mt. Pelé in particular, have received most favorable _ notice throughout the scientific press. The results of his investiga- tions have been set forth in his paper, which has already appeared in the Bulletin. DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY.—The Curator reports that the additions to the collections of mammals have exceeded in number and importance those of any previous year; 2,121 specimens have been added to the series of mammals. The specimens purchased consist ' mainly of a collection, made for the Museum by Mr. J. H. Report of the President. 15 Batty in the state of Chiriqui, Colombia, numbering 254 speci- mens; a collection of .78 small mammals from Costa Rica, made for the Museum by Mr. J. H. Carriker, Jr.; a collection of bats numbering 95 specimens, collected in the Bahamas and Cuba by Mr. S. H. Hamilton, and an important collection of arctic mammals made for the Museum by Capt. George Comer, in the region about Repulse Bay, Hudson Bay, in- cluding skeletons and skulls of musk-oxen, a large series of barren ground caribou, skins and skeletons of the bearded Sealeetc: The specimens obtained by the Andrew J. Stone Expedi- tion form a most important addition te the North American collection of mammals. It comprises some fifty large, and about one thousand small mammals, among which are many species new to the Museum. The gift from the Peary Arctic Club of about one hundred mammals collected by Commander Peary on his last arctic expedition, is especially noteworthy. It includes skins of caribou, musk-oxen, walrus, seals and polar bears, and many skulls of walrus and seals. The Museum is now doubtless by far the richest in the world in mammals from arctic America. Donations of specimens in the flesh have been received from the New York Zodlogical Society and the Central Park Menagerie, including many important types. Special men- tion should be made of the gift from Messrs. Charles D. Cleveland and Marshall Maclean, of New York, ofa fine series of Newfoundland caribou. Mrs. Hannah H. Corbin has presented two mounted speci- mens of wild boar, and Mr. L. S. Thompson has given a re- markably large mounted head of the Alaska moose, and two mounted Rocky Mountain sheep. We are indebted to Mr. William F. Whitehouse, Jr., for a mounted specimen of the rare Abyssinian duyker antelope, a gift, and mounted heads of the African elephant and two-horned rhinoceros, placed in the Museum on loan. The recent accessions of mammals and birds have been cata- logued to date, and labeled with field data, but not all have been identified. 16 Report of the President. During the year 1902, 14 papers on mammals and birds have been published in the Museum Bulletin, and a guide leaflet on North American Ruminants has been issued. Besides the scientific use of the material of this depart- ment by the Curator and by naturalists visiting the Museum, much material has been loaned to specialists and institu- tions in other cities, for which due credit is given in their publications, and similar courtesies are received from them in return for our loans. Specimens are made use of by artists at the Museum, to whom facilities are offered. The Museum has had collectors in the West Indies, Costa Rica, northern Colombia, and in the Repulse Bay region of northeastern arctic America. Mr. Klages has continued his work in Venezuela. Mr. Chapman, the Associate .Curator, has made trips, in the interest of the Museum, to the coast of Virginia and to the Bahamas, which were highly successful in securing material for special bird groups, etc. The only expedition sent out exclusively for work in this department is the Andrew J. Stone Expedition, of which men- tion has been made in earlier reports. In 1902, Mr. Stone made a trip to the western end of the Alaska Peninsula to obtain accessories for the Grant Caribou group, specimens for which were collected in 1gor. New groups of birds have been given to the Museum by Mr. Cadwalader, as follows: ‘‘ The Fish Hawk,’ ‘‘ The Ptar- migan,’ ‘““The Black Rail.” Dr. Bashford Dean, of Columbia University, has made it pos- sible for the Department to come into possession of several long-tailed fowl from Japan. ‘These will make valuable addi- tions to our collections illustrating the results of artificial selection. VERTEBRATE PALZONTOLOGY.—Progress has been made in rearranging the collections so as to make them more intelligible to the public. Newspecimens of interest have been placed in the centre of the hall, and attention is called to them by explanatory labels, diagrams and models. ANV'IST Report of the President. 17 Valuable exchange collections have been received from the British Museum, and the Museums of Moscow, Bucharest, Tiibingen and Buenos Aires. The mounting of new material has continued under Mr. Hermann. Five expeditions have been maintained in the field: in Mon- tana, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota. The most notable additions to the collections by these expeditions are a complete skeleton of an Upper Miocene Three-toed Horse, a fine skull and jaws of the horned Dinosaur Triceratops (skull between seven and eight feet long) and three complete skeletons of a rare Cretaceous Reptile, Champsosaurus. The establishment of a fund by a member of the Board of Trustees, Mr. William C. Whitney, for providing material to illustrate the origin and development of the horse, has produced immediate results of the highest importance, and stimulated the work in many cognate lines. The purchase of the Cope Collections has been -effected, and all this material is now the property of the Museum. The collections include fossil reptiles, amphibians and fishes, pre- sented by your President, and the Pampean Collection of fossil mammals of South America, presented by a number of the Trustees of the Museum. The great value of these collections has been noted in former reports. They contain a large number of complete or nearly complete skeletons of rare fossil species, among which the Sabre-Tooth Tiger, the Carnivorous Dinosaur, Duck-billed Dinosaur, and Amphibious Dinosaur, are now being prepared for exhibition. DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.—In order to have the hails in readiness for the meeting of the International Congress of Americanists, every effort was made by the officers and assistants of this department to arrange and label the collec- tions. The collections were studied with interest by the members of the Congress during the week of the meetings, and many remarks were made upon their scientific importance and value. 18 Report of the President. During the year a number of collections not before exhibited have been installed, notably the Hyde collections from the ancient cliff-houses, burial-caves andruined pueblos of Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. Only a portion of the interesting and important material obtained from this expedition as the gift of Messrs. B. T. B. Hyde and F. E. Hyde, Jr., is on exhibition. It is to the Messrs. Hyde that we are also indebted for the publication of the volume of the Memoirs containing the Navajo ceremony of the Night Chant, written by Dr. Washington Matthews, a work of exceeding importance. Mr. B. T. B. Hyde has purchased the important library of the late Mr. Andrew E. Douglass, and it is now arranged in the office room of the expedition. Among the new exhibits installed during the year is the special exhibit of a portion of the material obtained by Mr. Volk during the researches in the Delaware Valley which have been carried on under the direction of Professor Putnam for over twenty years. The expenses of the research for the past five years have been met by Dr. fF. EB. Hyde of the Board ion Trustees. The exhibit is in a case inthe west corner hall of the second floor. It seems to show conclusively that man was in the valley of the Delaware at the time that certain of the glacial deposits, and those immediately following, were made. The discoveries of human remains and implements are illus- trated by photographs and diagrams. The general North American archeological collection, which was in storage for several years, has been-arranged by Mr. Smith, who has supplemented the exhibits by descriptive labels, maps and drawings. He has also placed considerable printed and typewritten information with a number of the collections, and in various ways has made them especially instructive. Some of the archeological collections from New York, ob- tained largely through Mr. Harrington’s explorations, have been arranged. The Bandelier, Garces, Gaffron and Squier collections have been re-arranged. A large and important collection from Brazil, received in November from the Duke of Loubat, will soon be installed. Report of the President. 19 In the ethnological section the re-arrangement and installa- tion of collections has gone on as rapidly as possible, and an exceptionally large amount of installation has been com- pleted. The arrangement of the north hall was completed in its main features. Early in the year the north side of the west hall, second floor, was cased, and the Chinese collections made by Dr. Laufer under a grant given by Mr. Jacob H. Schiff were exhibited temporarily. In the spring, work was begun on the installation of the Siberian collections of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition. The whole west corner hall was set aside for the collections from Siberia. The arrange- ment of the Chukchee collections and of the Koryak collec- tions made by Mr. Bogoras has been completed. The Jesup North Pacific Expedition.—The work of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition has progressed satisfactorily. Dur- ing the past year, collections have been received from Mr. George Hunt, Mr. Waldemar Bogoras and Mr. Waldemar Jochelson. With the return of Messrs. Bogoras and Jochel- son, the Siberian part of the expedition has been closed. The results are most gratifying. The aim of the expedition to collect very full information on all the tribes of the North Pacific coast has in the main been accomplished, and it now remains to study the relation- ship of these tribes by a detailed comparison of the material collected. The whole district from Columbia River in America, westward to the Lena in Siberia, has been covered fairly ex- haustively; and it is already evident that the relationship be- tween Asia and America is much closer than had hitherto been supposed. In fact, a comparison of the customs and tradi- tions of certain of the peoples of northeastern Asia and northwestern America indicates that in culture at least they must be regarded as one group,—a conclusion of great sig- nificance for the wider problem of the origin and development of the civilizations of the two continents. A number of special questions have resulted from these studies, to which it is desirable to give further attention. They are particularly an investigation of the Salish tribes of Puget Sound, of the 20 Report of the President. Nootka of the west coast of Vancouver Island, and of the Eskimo of Kotzebue Sound. The Huntington California Expedition was continued by Mr. Dixon, and, with the co-operation of the University of Cali- fornia, by Mr. Kroeber. We have received additional ma- terial from the Maidu and Shasta and a collection from the Yurok on the Lower Klamath River. North American Research.—Professor Livingston Farrand continued the researches among the Sahaptin which were com- menced two years ago. We have obtained from him a collec- tion illustrating the life of the Nez Perces. Dr. Clark Wissler commenced investigations on the decora- tive art of the Sioux, which have given very gratifying results in the way of information and collections. The agreement with the Bureau of American Ethnology entered into in rg01 was continued during the present year. In pursuance of this agreement, Mr. Wiliam Jones continued his work among the Sauk and Fox, whose language and eth- nology he studied, making at the same time collections for the Museum. Mr: Hi. H St2- Clair, 2d, continued his. work ;amenemule Shoshone tribes. His linguistic work was also provided for by the Bureau of Ethnology, while the ethnological work was provided for by the Museum. He sent an interesting collec- tion of Comanche material. : Mr. John W. Chapman, who lives as a missionary among the Athapascan Indians of the Yukon region, has undertaken to study this tribe, and to make a collection illustrating their mode of life. Two years ago Captain George Comer and Captain James S. Mutch, who command whaling-stations in Hudson Bay and Cumberland Gulf respectively, were authorized by the Museum to make ethnological collections in the districts visited by them. The results of their work have been very gratifying, and have added materially to the value of the Eskimo collec- tions of the Museum. Report of the President. , 21 Expedition to China.—The East Asiatic work provided for by Mr. Jacob H. Schiff, and carried on by Dr. Berthold Laufer, has been continued during the past year. Early in the year, Dr. Laufer moved to Peking, where he collected much material relating to the daily life of the people, and at the same time made ethnological and historical studies which promise important scientific results. flyde Expedition.—Dr. Hrdlicka made two expeditions to the region of the Southwest and to northern Mexico during the year, both under the patronage of the Messrs. Hyde, and the material obtained is their gift to the Museum. During these expeditions Dr. Hrdlicka obtained anthropometric data and many photographs relating to twenty-one tribes in the Southwestern Territories and in northern Mexico. He also secured a large number of skulls and several skeletons from the same region, including the first Yaqui skulls known; also numerous ethnological and archeological specimens, many of special importance in filling gaps in our collections. Mexican Expedition.—Mr. Saville was absent in the field from December, 1go1, until May, 1902, working in the State of Oaxaca, Mexico, with funds given by the Duke of Loubat, and completed the work that he had planned for that part of Mexico. Theresults throw much light on the burial customs of the ancient Zapotecans, and the collections obtained from the excavation add materially to the importance of our collection in the Museum. A visit was made to Mitla and to ruins in the southern part of the Oaxaca Valley, and also to the Mixteca mountains at Nochistlan. Rare specimens of gold, copper and jadeite secured by the expedition, added to what we al- ready have in the Museum, make this part of our Mexican collections the best in any museum. From the Duke of Loubat, besides the material obtained from this expedition, we have received a gem collection of great importance from the state of Oaxaca. From Mr. Maler we have received several pieces of Maya pottery from Yucatan and Tabasco; and from Mr. Chavero, a post-Columbian codex of considerable interest. to to Report of the President. Local Explorations —Mr. Harrington visited the Shinne- cock and Poosepatuck Reservations on Long Island and Staten Island, during June and July, and at Shinnecock Hills he explored an ancient village site,—a series of shell heaps. Trenches were dug, and ‘‘ash pits” opened. Although the number of publications issued during the past year is not large, much progress has been made in the prep- aration of material. DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY AND CONCHOLOGY.—The headquarters of this department have been removed to the fourth floor, and a room for laboratory work and storage has been provided in the basement. The labeling of the collection of minerals on exhibition, a thorough arrangement of overflow material, now in drawers under the cases, a selection of a second, very small, group of duplicates, the completion of the explanatory rubrics through- out the cases, and a beginning upon the exhaustive card cata- logue, marks the labor of the department. The gem collection continues to be most popular. One record is given of 1,000 visitors in a day. During the past year five magnificent crusts of amethyst have been added, from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and also a large yellow sap- phire, two parti-colored sapphires, an immense star sapphire, and a curious archaic axe of agate, gifts of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan. Besides these a collection of very attractive series of polished agates has been received. A card catalogue of the gems has been completed, comprising almost 2,000 cards. A splendid collection of gold and silver coins from the Philadelphia mint, given by Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, has been placed in the Gem Room. DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY.—We regret that the capacity of the building and the limitation of our funds prevent the symmetrical development of all that goes to make up a Museum of Natural History. We not only have large collections that await adequate exhibition Space, but there are departments of natural history that thus far have received but little attention. They have not been Report of the President. 23 forgotten, however, and it is our purpose to so plan our work that all will finally receive proper treatment. The Department of Invertebrate Zodlogy was established two years ago, and since that time the invertebrate collections of the Museum have been gotten together; new material has been added, and the exhibit in the south-east hall of the ground floor will soon be open to the public. Professor William Morton Wheeler, at one time Director of the Public Museum at Milwaukee, and a scientist of high standing, will soon take charge of this department. For a long time we have felt the need of providing exhibits to illustrate in a comparative way the structure of the human body, z. e., collections that will illustrate the resemblances and differences between man and the lower animals, and that will illustrate also the anatomical differences between the various races of man. We should also have material to illus- trate the development and the functional activity of the special sense organs. ‘There is a constant demand for such collections on the part of teachers, and we think no one ques- tions their high educational value. Now that Professor Tower, a weil-known physiologist, has taken a place on our scientific staff, and Professor Wheeler will soon be with us, it seems expedient to assign temporarily, until proper space can be found elsewhere, the south-west room on the main floor to collections of this nature. The most important accession of invertebrate animals is a collection of ccelenterates. This collection consists of about 200 specimens of West Indian corals, Actinians and Alcyonar- ians, collected by Dr. Duerden in Jamaica, and includes many co-types of species described by him in various papers. All the coelenterates have been worked over by Dr. Duerden, and many of the specimens named and mounted with a view to illustrate their general biological characteristics. Arrange- ments have been made for several additions, including a col- lection of Beaufort Actinians from Dr. J. J. Hamaker, a collection of Porto Rican corals, identified by T. Wayland Vauehan for the U.S. F.'C., and specimens of ceelenterates from Woods. Hole. 24 Report of the President. Through the courtesy of Hon. George M. Bowers, of the United States Fish Commission, the Museum has received a collection of 21 duplicate specimens of named Actinians from Porto Rico. Practically all the specimens of these two collec- tions are alcoholic, and make a most valuable addition to our already magnificent collection of West Indian ccelenterates, the greater part of which was obtained by Professor R. P. Whit- field. A collection of invertebrate animals from the Gulf of Cali- fornia has been given to the Museum by the Duke of Loubat. All the invertebrate material of»this department has been thoroughly overhauled, classified, and placed in alcoves in the exhibition hall, and card catalogues of the various groups have been started. The department has continued to have charge of the Rep- tiles, Batrachians and Fishes, in addition to the invertebrate animals. Several interesting and important additions have been made to our collection of fishes. From Hon. George M. Bowers, the department has received specimens (co-types) of a new genus and species of fish, A/7stichthys luzonensts, from the Philippine Islands, the smallest known vertebrate. Special mention should be made of the donations of Mr. John Hiscox, who has given many specimens which were required in experiments on the preservation of fish. A good nucleus of a collection of common food fishes was secured by Messrs. Sherwood and Figgins, who spent several weeks during the summer at Woods Hole. The New York Zodlogical Society and the Department of Parks have been the principal donors of reptiles and batrachians. The following papers have been published during the year: ‘‘ Boring Algee as Agents in the Disintegration of Corals,” by J. E. Duerden; ‘‘The Sequoia: A Historical Review of Bio- logical Science’ by George H. Sherwood. DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY.—The Curator of Ento- mology reports that the Hoffman Collection of Butterflies has been transferred to the new cases. He states that 4,600 specimens of Coleoptera and Lepidoptera were numbered and AN GROUP ARMIGs SCENES FROM THE PT Report of the President. 25 catalogued; 6,000 Coleoptera and 500 Lepidoptera were mounted. The Schauss Collection of Moths was provisionally arranged, and many species of insects identified for collectors and for those asking for the assistance of the department. The material obtained during a five weeks’ visit to the Black Mountains numbers fully 7,000 specimens. ‘The ex- pense of this expedition was defrayed by the Very Reverend Eugene A. Hoffman, D.D., LL.D. The following publications have been issued by the De- pastment= “Phe Buttertliesof the Vicinity of (New) York City”’; ‘‘ Descriptive Catalogue of the Noctuidz found within Fifty Miles of New York City”; ‘‘ The Earlier Stages of Some Moths”’; ‘‘ Descriptions of some Larve of the Genus Catocala.”’ inhewdeath of sthesViery Weverend Hucene A) Dlotiman) re: moved a warm friend of the Museum, and a substantial sup- port from the Department of Entomology. Only a few weeks before his decease, he commissioned the Director to visit Reading, Pennsylvania, to examine a large collection of Lepi- doptera, and if really worth the price set upon it ($20,000) to purchase and bring it back to the Museum. The collection was examined, but in view of the price set upon it and the large collections already in our possession, the Director did not encourage its purchase. Liprary.—The development of this department of the Mu- seum has necessitated certain administrative changes. Dr. Woodward has been appointed Curator of Maps and Charts, and Professor Ralph W. Tower, formerly of Brown University, has been appointed Curator of Books and Publications. Pro- fessor Tower took office early in December. As in the past, the library has been in constant use by mem- bers of the scientific staff, by scientists, students and others. Some most valuable additions have been received from Professor H. F. Osborn, the Duke of Loubat, Gen. Egbert L. Wicle-Geas |: Watts) de Reyster,, Frederick, AX Constable, Mrs. M. Schuyler Elliot, Mrs. C. V. Riley, Hon. William msoton Chanier,, the New, Vork) State Department of, (Public Instruction, the Indiana State Library, and the Government 26 Report of the President. of India; and numerous publications have been received in exchange for publications of the Museum. PUBLICATIONS. —The publication of the scientific results attending the investigations carried on by the Museum has progressed as in the past. Two numbers of the JZemotrs have been issued. The first, The Night Chant, by Washington Matthews, was prepared and issued through the generosity of Mr. F. E. Hyde, Jr. The second, Awakiutl Texts, by Franz Boas, was issued by the Museum. The publication of Zhe American Museum Journal has con- tinued; nine numbers, and six illustrated leaflet supplements having been issued: Guide Leaflets.

Harper Davis In concluding this my twenty-second report, I take pleasure in assuring the members of this Board that the past year has been one of achievement. The increase in the annual appro- priation, the growing popularity of the lectures, the large sums spent for laboratory research, the long list of publica- tions, the opening of new exhibition halls, the appropriation by the city of $200,000 for a new power house, the receipt of large invoices of ethnological material from Siberia and China, the conclusion of negotiations leading to the purchase of the Cope Collection, and the departure of several exploring expe- ditions are only a few of the indices of activity at the Museum, of the generosity of our friends, and of appreciation on the part of the City officers and the visiting public. The thirty-fourth year of the American Museum of Natural History is now brought to aclose. With thanks to you for your cordial co-operation, I am, Very truly yours, Morris K. Jesup, President.

At the Annual Meeting of the Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History, held on the ninth day of Febru- ary, 1903, the President announced the death of their late associate, Mr. Abram Stevens Hewitt, and feelingly referred to the able and valuable service given by the deceased in the upbuilding and development of the Museum, while a Trustee, during a period of twenty-nine years. The following minute offered by the President, was unanimously adopted, and the Secretary was directed to present a copy to the family of the deceased. The Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History, at this their first meeting after the death of their beloved associate and member, Abram Stevens Hewitt, affectionately place the following minute upon .their records : ‘*Mr. Hewitt became a member of this Board in the year 1874, when the Museum occupied the Arsenal Building in Central Park. He was identified with the selection of the Building site on Manhattan Square. He witnessed the laying of the corner-stone, and he has shared with us the responsibilities incidental to the growth of the institution to its present proportions. For more than a quarter of a century, and almost to the time of his death, January eighteenth, our deliberations have felt his encouraging influence. He has been a generous contributor, a loyal patron, a wise counselor and a sympa- thetic colleague. But in our sense of his loss to the American Museum, we do not forget his larger interests, defined by him as the ‘ welfare of his fellow- citizens.’ Of comprehensive knowledge and broad experience, his mind was alert, his intuition correct, his \ ; final. Mere expediency exercised _influen were invariably supported by absolute fearl combines such qualities as these, his removal is. ; alone, but to the people, the city, the state, the country ind, well say to the entire world. Though we may no longer lis of his conversation, or continue in the enjoyment of his con ship, we feel that we are better for having known him, memory.” ih A ines i ab: Leal?" Pole ty oa As.

To the Trustees and Members of the American Museum of Natural Fiistory : The President submits herewith a report of the affairs of the Museum for the year 1903. Finances.—In conformity with the recommendations of the Board of Trustees, the financial transactions of the Museum are divided into three separate accounts, and the de- tails of the receipts, expenditures and investments for the year just closed, as embodied in the Treasurer’s Report, will be found on pages 37 to 43 inclusive. These accounts and all books and vouchers have been duly examined and certified to by the Audit Company of New York. A few statements may help in making the details of this report clear. THE PERMANENT ENDOWMENT—four hundred and forty thousand dollars—is far too small to approximate the needs of an institution doing the work that is attempted by the Museum. Although since the last annual meeting five thousand dollars has been added to this fund, the time has certainly arrived when the need of an endowment of at least one million dollars is urgently felt. This urgency is the more pronounced because of our peculiar relations with the City, the appropriations of which cannot be used for the purchase of specimens, for explor- ing expeditions or for the publication of scientific results. SPECIAL FunpDs.—The Assistant Treasurer has continued to act as Treasurer of the Eastern Asiatic Research Fund and of the Andrew J. Stone Expedition Fund. Both of these funds, as originally provided, will soon be exhausted. The results of Dr. Laufer’s explorations in China and the interest that several friends of the Museum have taken in him and his work are such as to encourage the belief that these researches will not be suspended. Mr. Stone’s work among the arctic mammals of Alaska and British Columbia has 9 IO Report of the President. yielded substantial results, of importance far beyond our original expectation. But all of the scientific problems of the arctic are by no means solved; there remain other areas, the zoological, geographical and geological survey of which would well repay the investment of future appropriations. City MAINTENANCE AcCCOoUNT.—The amount received from the City for the maintenance of the Museum ($160,000) has remained the same asin 1902. While this is indeed a generous appropriation from the City, and is itself a substantial indication of the value that the City authorities place upon the work of the Museum, the amount is-in reality too small to meet our running expenses and should be increased. For many years the Trustees have been obliged to make up deficiencies on this account, and the year 1903 has proved no exception, several members of the Board subscribing to a deficit of more than seven thousand dollars. GENERAL ACcOoUNT.—This is the account that reveals our regular sources of income and our regular expenditures for the development of the collections of the Museum at large, and it is by the examination from year to year of the receipts and expenditures as arranged under this account that one can most easily follow our general growth. The friends of the Museum are invited especially to subscribe to this general fund. The year 1903, when compared with 1902, shows a small increase in our income from invested funds, an increase of $1,300 in receipts from Life Members, and of $1,490 in our receipts from Annual Members. Contributions by the Trus- tees make the total receipts on this account, $78,050.30, which is approximately $13,000 more than in 1902. ENDOWMENT AND INVESTMENT ACCOoUNT.—Friends of the Museum have often advanced the work of some particular Museum department because of their own interest in some branch of natural science, some special collection, or some particular country or locality. The sums of money thus con- tributed are kept apart, and an annual statement is published as the ‘‘Endowment and Investment Account.” 500 00 Wits, lelemae: Ib, Sibyisrancecoodoocac0ododac 200 CO Feniya Clay ePicrcestanerisasienttttlitarerets 500 00 sfamvesi@aG@artersmerrreecetreiterisclererirerreiier ries 250 00 $2,450 John L.

Ju Hemortam At the Regular Quarterly Meeting of the Board of Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History, held November 9, 1903, the following Minute was adopted: The Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History record with sadness the death of their distinguished and beloved associate, WILLIAM EARL DODCE. Mr. Dodge became a member of the Museum in 1870, and was elected to the Board of Trustees in 1872. He was placed on its Executive Committee in 1875; and in 1899 he was elected Second Vice-President, serving in this office until February, 1901, when he became First Vice-President. From the beginning of his connection with the Museum until his decease, August 9, 1903, he was one of its largest contributors, and took a very active interest in every measure to promote the welfare, growth, development and usefulness of the Institution. His love of the beautiful in nature found in the work of the Museum a most congenial occupation. When the Museum made its early efforts in the cause of research and investigation, Mr. Dodge’s contributions and counsel came from a knowledge of what was best and wisest to be accomplished to insure results. He often visited the Museum to ascertain its needs, and was always ready with sugges- tions and willing to advise and aid its officers and curators, to help make the Museum what, under its Charter, it set out to be, ‘‘to encourage and develop the study of natural science, the advancement of a general knowledge of kindred subjects and the furnishing of popular instruction, recreation and amusement.” The Trustees and officers always cherished for Mr. Dodge a real affection and esteem, because of his manly qualities of head and heart. He was a faithful friend, a wise counselor, a safe guide and a Christian gentleman. As such his example is worthy for us to imitate and follow. This Minute is made at the first meeting of the Board of Trustees since the death of Mr. Dodge, and it is directed that it be entered on the records, and that an engrossed copy of the same be prepared and sent to Mrs. Dodge, with the respectful sympathy of the Trustees, in her loss and sorrow. 94 At the Annual Meeting of the Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History, held February 8, 1904, the Presi- dent announced the death of their late associate, Mr. Andrew Eien Green: It was ordered that the following Minute be incorporated on the Records of the Meeting, and that the Secretary pre- sent a copy of the resolution to the family of the deceased: The Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History, at this their Annual Meeting, desire to give formal expression to their sorrow at the loss’ of their associate of many years, ANDREW HASWELL CREEN. In 1869, Mr. Green, then Comptroller of Central Park, heartily and effectively co-operated with those who proposed to the Commissioners of Parks the formation of a Museum of Natural History. Elected to the Board of Trustees in 1869, he was regular in his attendance at official meetings, served on the Executive Committee for several years, was a frequent visitor at the Museum, and at the time of his decease was one of the oldest members of the Board. With a wide circle of acquaintances, occupying a prominent place among the people, of long experience in civic affairs and intimately associated with the organizations and improvements incident to municipal development, his loss is not to the members of this Board alone but to the larger interests of the community in general. 95 On the occasion of the Annual Meeting of the Board of Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History, held February 8, 1904, the President reported the decease, on the 2d instant, of Mr. William C. Whitney. In speaking of Mr. Whitney, the President paid a warm tribute to his friend and colleague. No other Trustee, he said, evinced a deeper interest in the activities of the Museum; he was a frequent visitor to its halls, enthusiastic in his praise of its collections and its work of research in the field, and disclosed an intimate knowledge of the history and aims of the Museum. The following Minute was unanimously adopted, and the Secretary was directed to enter it in full on the record of the meeting and to present an engrossed copy of the same to the family of the deceased: The Trustees of The American Museum of Natural History record with great regret the death of their associate, WILLIAM COLLINS WHITNEY. The Museum loses one of its warmest and most intelligent friends. Mr. Whitney was a true lover of nature, greatly delighting in scenery, and showing a keenness of interest in animals and an extent of knowledge very unusual in American men of affairs. He took pleasure in supporting the work of the Museum, because it extended to the people of this city oppor- tunities of education and enjoyment otherwise beyond their reach. Elected in November, 1891, he served for more than twelve years as a Trustee. Upto the time of his death, he generously furthered the progress of the Museum in many diverse lines. In the year 1900, in connection with his personal interest in the breeding of horses, he became specially interested in and maintained on a large scale for the past three years, the special explora- tions, researches and artistic work connected with the evolution of the horse in America. The undertaking has been successful beyond expectation. Ina few weeks more the preliminary results of these expeditions would have been on exhibition, and it is a keen regret to us that Mr. Whitney could not have lived to see their completion. His name will always be associated with the continuation of any investigations of this important subject. We shall ever cherish the memory of his kindly and generous heart and his many manly and noble qualities. 96 ee ye THE | American ffeseun of tur fjston “ CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK CITY. — (77th Street and Central Park West.) » QA 2 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT, TREASURER’S REPORT, LIST OF ACCESSIONS, | ACT OF INCORPORATION, CONTRACT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS, CONSTITUTION, BY-LAWS AND LIST OF MEMBERS, FOR THE YEAR 1904.

To the Trustees and Members of the American Museum of Natural flistory : The President submits herewith a report of the aftairs of the Museum for the year 1904. FINANCES.—In conformity with the recommendations of the Board of Trustees, the financial transactions of the Museum are divided into three separate accounts, and the de- tails of the receipts, expenditures and investments for the year just closed, as embodied in the Treasurer’s Report, will be found on pages 43 to 49 inclusive. These accounts and all books and vouchers have been duly examined and certified to by the Audit Company of New York. .A few statements may help in making the details of this report clear. Permanent Endowment.—Attention is directed to the Treas- urer’s Report of the Endowment and Investment Account, wherein are detailed the gifts made for the Permanent Endow- ment Fund. This fund now amounts to $1,013,000, an increase of $573,000 since the last Report. The John B. Trevor Fund has been increased to $15,000, through the gift of $5,000 by Mrs. J. B. Trevor. Miss Matilda W. Bruce gave $10,000 in bonds, the interest of which is to be used for the purchase of desirable specimens of minerals. Special Funds.—The Andrew J. Stone Expedition Fund and the Eastern Asiatic Research Fund have been closed. The work begun under the latter is continued through con- tributions by the members of the East Asiatic Committee. Attention is called to the reports (page 43) of the receipts and disbursements of the funds, for which the Assistant Treasurer acts as treasurer. City Maintenance Account.—The amount received from the City for the maintenance of the Museum, $160,000, was II 12 Report of the President the same as in 1903'and rg02. This generous sum proved, however, insufficient to meet the running expenses, leaving a deficit of more than $8,000 to be made up by a friend of the Museum. Naturally, with the steady and rapid growth of the Museum, the running expenses must correspondingly increase, for which provision must be made. General Account.—The total receipts from all sources have been $78,605.30. The interest from invested funds amounted to $35,145, an increase of $13,340 over the receipts from this source for 1903; $2,400 have been received from Life Memberships and $13,980 from Annual Members, an increase in the latter of $2,240 over the preceding year. Endowment and Investment Account.—The principal items of increase have already been mentioned under the head of ‘‘ Permanent Endowment,” and the expenditures will be found detailed under the several departments to which the gifts especially relate, and in the financial statements of this account on pages 48 and 49. BUILDING AND GrRouNDs.—The improvements in the building and grounds mentioned as in progress in last year’s report, under appropriations of tgo2 and 1903, have progressed. These include the new fover, the construction of two assembly rooms for classes and for the meetings of the various scientific societies affliated with the Museum, new toilets, and the new power house. The basement of the main building has been lowered and work is now in progress on an intermediate building between the Lecture Hall and the Power Station. New exhibition cases have been constructed in various parts of the building, and several new exhibition halls have been thrown open to the public, as noted later in the reports on the departments to which they relate. MemBeERSHIP.—The gain in annual members has been 278, resulting in a net gain of 191, the loss through deaths and resignations having been 87. It is a pleasure to record that Tur ALASKA PENINSULA BEAR.

HENDRICKS, HENRY H. WIENER, DR. JOSEPH DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND PaL#OnTOLOGY.—The work of cataloguing and labeling has progressed steadily throughout the year, over five thousand catalogue entries having been made and more than eleven hundred new labels prepared. The acquisitions include an important collection of Silurian fossils from Ohio, acquired by purchase, and several minor additions, obtained partly by exchange and partly by purchase. Additions have also been made to the collection of rock speci- mens, designed to illustrate the geology of New York Island. Two new cases placed in the alcoves at the south end of the Geological Hall have given opportunity for a better display and more convenient arrangement of the material in that part of the hall. The Curator, Professor Whitfield, has prepared and pub- lished several papers in the Museum Bulletin, illustrated with four plates, relating to a new genus and species of Lower Report of the President. 10s Carboniferous Bryozoan, a remarkable case of the reproduction of lost parts shown in a fossil Crinoid, and supposed worm burrows in rocks of the Chemung Group of New York. The Associate Curator, Dr. Hovey, has had charge of the Museum Journal, and has prepared and published various papers con- nected with his investigations of volcanic eruptions in the West Indies, and has given lectures in the Museum courses and elsewhere, in the interest of the Museum, on these and other subjects. DEPARTMENT OF MAMMALOGY AND ORNITHOLOGY.—Sev- eral important accessions have been made during the year to the collections of both mammals and birds, partly by purchase and partly through Museum Expeditions. Of special popular interest is the installation of a number of noteworthy bird groups, and the advanced state of preparation of others. The former include the Yellow-billed Magpie, the Sierra Dusky Grouse, the Mountain Quail and the Valley Quail, illustrating interesting types of bird life peculiar to California; the latter include a large Flamingo Group, and a group illustrating the bird life of the irrigated portions of the San Joaquin Valley, California. Considerable progress has also been made in the construction of large mammal groups, as the Roosevelt or Olympic Elk, the big Alaska Peninsula Bear, and the Mexican Collared Peccary groups. Single specimens mounted for ex- hibition include a Central American Puma, a Crested Antelope, a Rocky Mountain Goat (presented by Mr. C. A. Moore, Jr.), and some twenty or more smaller animals, as hares, squirrels, spermophiles, wood rats, field mice, etc. The Museum Expeditions include the trip of the Associate Curator, Mr. Chapman, to Florida and the Bahamas under the North American Ornithology Fund, which resulted in securing abundant material for a fine Flamingo Group, and also for other bird groups soon to be constructed. The Mexican Ex- pedition under J. H. Batty has been very successful, yielding large returns in birds and mammals, including group acces- sories as well as valuable material for other departments of the Museum. 16 Report of the President. The accessions altogether include about 1,900 mammals and over 6,000 birds, 278 of the latter being by donation, and include 136 birds from Ecuador, presented by Dr. S. Austin Davis. The Museum is indebted to Mr. N. D. Bill, of Spring- field, Mass., for the use of the schooner yacht G/orza for Mr. Chapman’s work in Florida and the Bahamas. The Museum is also indebted to the New York Zodlogical Society and to the Central Park Menagerie for many valuable specimens received in the flesh. The Curator, in addition to his editorial supervision of the Bulletin, has been able to devote considerable time to the preparation of papers on mammals, and during the year pub- lished reports on a number of important collections received during recent years and now for the first time critically identi- fied. A list of these, twelve in number, will be found in the re- port of the ‘‘ Department of Books and Publications ” (page 33). The Associate Curator, besides his important field explora- tions and constant supervision of the work on the bird groups, has published a description of a new grouse from the Sierra Nevada of California and a report on the birds collected by the Andrew J. Stone Expedition to Alaska in 1903. He has also given many lectures in the Museum courses and also elsewhere in the interest of the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF VERTEBRATE PALHONTOLOGY.—Nearly 600 specimens of fossil vertebrates have been added to the col- lection during the year, principally as a result of the following expeditions: Expeditions for Cretaceousreptiless sc. 5 ee ee 17 Bridger expedition for fossil mammals................... 388 Big Badlands expedition for fossil mammals.............. 129 Completed exploration of Pleistocene cave deposit ........ 49 The total number of catalogued specimens in the collection is now a little over 15,000. The most important addition to the collection was the nearly complete skeleton of the Columbian Mammoth, dis- covered near Jonesboro, Indiana, and purchased by the Museum. This splendid specimen will be mounted and placed BRONTOSAURUS SKELETON IN THE DINOSAUR HALL. Mounted under the direction of Professor H, Ff, Osborn by A. Hermann. Report of the President. 7 on exhibition beside the Mastodon skeleton, which it con- siderably exceeds in height and in length of tusks. The Bridger expedition secured materials for a mounted skeleton of the remarkable six-horned Uintathere, a giant mammal of the Eocene epoch, and a number of skulls or skeletons of new or rare extinct animals of smaller size. The expedition to the Big Badlands secured a number of fine specimens of the character- istic fossils of that rich field, including several genera hitherto unknown. A nearly complete skeleton of the Oligocene ancestor of the wolf was acquired by purchase. The explorations in the fissure or open cave deposits of northern Arkansas have yielded a large collection of the forest-haunting animals of the leistocene epoch, probably contemporary with the earliest appearance of manin North America. The collection is pecu- liarly rich in small animals; it includes some sixty species, many of them extinct, the others mostly northern animals, indicating a former much colder climate than now prevails in that region. Our collections of extinct reptiles have been enriched by two fine Plesiosaur skulls and a number of Mosasaur skele- tons from South Dakota, two Marine Crocodile skulls from Montana, and a skull of the Duck-billed Dinosaur from New Mexico. Especial attention has been given in the field-work of recent years to the search for fossil reptiles, which, although more difficult to find and more expensive to collect and pre- pare for exhibition than fossil mammals, are yet of greater interest, as representing more ancient and less known types of life, more widely different from those of the present day, and in many respects far more extraordinary than the extinct animals shown in the Hall of Fossil Mammals. Much progress has been made in the preparation of these extinct reptiles, and especially of the Dinosaurs, for exhibition in the new Dinosaur Hall. The skeleton of the Dwarf Car- nivorous Dinosaur, or ‘‘ Bird-Catcher,” has been placed on exhibition, the gigantic Brontosaurus skeleton is nearly com- pleted, and three other huge and remarkable Dinosaur skele- tons are well under way toward mounting. A number of skulls, limbs, and incomplete specimens have been prepared and mounted, enough to go a long way toward filling the new 18 Report of the President. hall. The energies of the department have been largely devoted during the past year to the mounting of the huge Lrontosaurus skeleton which will form the central attraction of the Dinosaur Hall. This skeleton, 67 feet long and over 15 feet high, has presented peculiar difficulties, both mechani- cal and scientific, in the mounting, and much study and ex- periment by the Curator and his staff were required to solve them. In the modeling of the missing parts of the skeleton we are indebted for many courtesies to the Museum of Yale University. Corresponding courtesies have been extended by us to the Carnegie Museum in connection with the cast of the Diplodocus skeleton being prepared there for exhibition in the British Museum, London. The cessation of the Whitney Fund for the exhibit of the Evolution of the Horse has seriously crippled the work of the department in this direction. Much has been accom- plished during the three years of the continuance of this fund, the Oligocene, Miocene, Pleistocene and modern horses being now well illustrated by mounted skeletons and by series of skulls, feet, etc., showing the morphology and evolution of those parts in each of the above stages in the development of the race. Several important problems, however, still remain unsolved, especially in the Eocene or earliest stages of the Ancestry of the Horses, which are as yet incompletely known and inadequately illustrated. The most important addition to the Horse Alcove during the year was the exhibit of the Rear- ing Horse and Man skeletons. An instructive comparison with the evolution of the Horse is furnished by the series of feet illustrating the Evolution of the Camel in North America. The preparation of the fossil fish collections for exhibition © has progressed rapidly under direction of Professor Dean; they will be displayed in the small tower hall in the southeast corner adjoining the Dinosaur Hall. Dr. Hay has continued his studies upon fossil turtles with the assistance of the grant from the Carnegie Institution, and a fine series of specimens is being prepared for exhibition. A number of scientific papers were published during the year, and several monographic researches continued or com- Report of the President. 19 pleted by the Curator and his staff, the most important being upon the fossil horses and titanotheres. DEPARTMENT OF ETHNOLOGY.—The department has re- ceived accessions principally through a number of expeditions sent out by the Museum. The following deserve special men- tion: From North America, a Nootka collection obtained by Mr. George Hunt. The most remarkable part of this collection is a whaler’s ceremonial house, which was found on a pond in the interior of Vancouver Island, and in which generations of whalers purified themselves, the house being used at the same time as a depository for the skulls of the whalers.—A Black- foot collection obtained by Dr. Clark Wissler. Dr. Wissler paid special attention to a study of the ceremonials of the Blackfeet, and his collection illustrates in some detail the re- ligious ceremonials of this tribe.—A collection from the in- terior of the State of Washington, by Mr. James Teit. ‘This collection was made in continuance of work done in former years in British Columbia, and represents the culture of the Salish tribes near the boundary of the United States.—A col- lection from the Uchee, made by Mr. F. G. Speck.—A series of casts and negatives of natives of various countries, col- lected by Mr. Caspar Mayer during the World’s Fair at St. Louis. Mr. Mayer’s work was done in codperation with the Field Columbian Museum. During the past year Dr. Berthold Laufer closed his field- work in China. His expedition, which was provided for by Mr. Jacob H. Schiff, occupied three years, and all the col- lections made have been received. They cover the various aspects of the social and industrial life of China, and give a comprehensive view of Chinese culture. The collection has been installed in the Southwest Gallery, and has been ar- ranged so as to illustrate the industrial and domestic life of the Chinese, their amusements, their religion and their arts. Special stress has been laid upon the demonstration of the historical development of various forms of Eastern life. ’ . 20 Report of the President. The Corean collections of the department were increased by a collection made by Dr. C. C. Vinton. Rev. J. W. Chapman, Mr. Henry W. Tate, Capt. George N. Comer and Capt. James S. Mutch are continuing work for the Museum in Alaska, British Columbia, and eastern arctic America, but no collections were received during the past year. Dr. William Jones continued the researches begun for the Museum under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution, and incidentally obtained additional explanation of material col- lected in previous years. During the summer Mr. Frederick R. Burton paid a pro- longed visit to the Ojibwa Indians. The Museum provided him with a phonograph, and he made an extensive collection of records of Indian songs. Dr. Roland B. Dixon revisited California in order to clear up anumber of points relating to the studies made during previous years. The extension of the North American collections has re- quired considerable rearrangement in the Indian Hall, the new material being placed in proper geographical sequence. A special collection has been arranged illustrating the indus- trial life of the Plains Indians. The most notable addition to the William Demuth pipe collection has been the acquisition, from Mr. Francis La Flesche, of a set of ceremonial pipes of the Omaha Indians. The results of the expeditions undertaken by the depart- ment are being pushed as rapidly as possible. Dr. Wissler published a paper on the decorative art of the Sioux, which embodies the results of his researches during the years 1902 and 1903. Dr. Dixon has completed a paper on the ethnology of the Maidu Indians of California, which is in the hands of the printer. Dr. A. L. Kroeber’s description of the ceremonial organi- zation of the Arapaho has been issued. He has handed in manuscripts on the religion of the Arapaho and on the eth- nology of the Gros Ventres, thus finishing the discussion of the results of his expedition to these tribes.

From the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, Mr. Waldemar Bogoras’s memoir on the Chukchee has been printed and pub- lished by ss). Brill, mt: Dr. John R. Swanton’s description of the Haida of Queen Charlotte Islands has also been issued. At the present time the first part of Mr. Waldemar Jochel- son's description of the Koryak, containing the religion and myths of the tribe, is in press. The last part of the Kwakiutl Texts, by F. Boas and G. Hunt, is also in press. Mr..Bogoras has handed in his manuscript on the religion of the Chukchee. Dr. John R. Swanton has handed in his volume of Haida aiexts: In the summer Dr. Boas, as a representative of the Museum, attended the Congress of Americanists held in Stuttgart. The utilization of the Museum collections for purposes of | university instruction has continued. ‘The same courses that are mentioned in the Annual Report of 1903 were given dur- ing the present year, and many students carried on their work in the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF ARCH#OLOGY.—The department has re- ceived several valuable accessions during the year by purchase and gift, noteworthy among which is a collection from the prehistoric pueblo ruins of Socorro, New Mexico, the gift of Mrs. Constance S. Mead and family. Five funeral urns from Oaxaca, presented by Mrs. Robert W. De Forest, form an important addition to our exhibit of Zapotecan ceramics. We acquired 366 specimens by the purchase of the Bauer col- lection, chiefly illustrative of the Matlaltzincan culture, which was not represented in the Mexican collections. The purchase of a large collection of shell implements from the Barbados materially added to our West Indian collection. From the Department of Preparation and Installation we received casts of models of the earthwork known as Fort 22 Report of the President. Ancient and the Serpent Mound in Ohio; also of the Cahokia Mound in Illinois, the largest prehistoric mound in the United States. This model was based ona clay one made for us by Mr. David I. Bushnell, Jr. A model of two effigy mounds, representing animals in Wisconsin was also constructed. The department has begun arrangements with museums and private collectors to obtain the loan of important speci- mens for the purpose of making casts to fill in certain gaps in the Museum collections, and also to be used in ‘connection with the publications resulting from our own expeditions to the North Pacific coast. The Museum has received such loan material from the Peabody Academy of Sciences, Salem, Mass. ; the Oregon Historical Society, Portland; and Mr. C. P. Wilcomb, of San Francisco. Casts of these specimens have been made by the Department of Preparation and Installation. The department has also begun the work of making casts from some of the noteworthy objects of ancient art from Mexico and Central America for exchange with other museums for casts of rare material of a like character. A set has been sent to the United States National Museum, which was exhibited at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis. Arrangements have recently been made for an exchange of casts with the Berlin Ethnographical Museum. The specimens received during the year have been cata- logued, and many labels, maps and drawings have been pre- pared and placed with the collections on exhibition. Certain rearrangements in the Mexican Hall have been undertaken, and the West Indian collections have been removed to the South American Hall. A synoptic collection was brought together and loaned to Teachers College. This was made up so far as possible from duplicate material. A second collection was selected, labeled and loaned to the Ethical Culture School. This has been returned and is about to be installed as an exhibit for school children. The following publications have been issued by the department: Report of the President. 23 M. H. Saville. ‘‘ Funeral Urns from Oaxaca.” (Museum Journal, Vol. IV, pp. 49-60, July.) Ad. F. Bandelier. ‘‘On the Relative Antiquity of Ancient Peruvian Burials.” (Bulletin, Vol. XX, Art. XIX, pp. 217-226.) Harlan I. Smith. ‘‘A Costumed Human Figure from Tampico, Washington.” (Bulletin, Vol. XX, Art. XVI, pp. 195-203, May 28.) In addition to the above, Mr. Bandelier has published several papers in the American Anthropologist based on his researches in South America for the Museum. Mr. Smith has secured additional information and illustra- tions for his reports on the archeology of the Northwest, and has been preparing memoirs on the archeology of Puget Sound and the archeology of central Washington. DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY. — During the past year the rooms of the department were provided with cases for the installation of the study collection of insects. This col- lection has been entirely rearranged, and the various collec- tions, which have been kept separate heretofore, have been united so as to make a single series. The collections of North American Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and Hemiptera have been arranged and labeled, while the work on the exotic species of these families is progressing rapidly. Considerable work on the exhibition collection has also been done. The collection of galls produced by insects has been rearranged and labeled in conformity with Guide Leaflet No. 16, ‘‘On the Insect- Galls of the Vicinity of New York,” which was issued during the latter part of the year. The following collections have been placed on exhibition: Insects injurious to evergreen trees, together with many illustrations,,and parts of the trees affected by the different. species; clear-winged moths (Sestide), with food-plants and colored figures; household insects; insects affecting stored grains; local bees, wasps, etc. (Hymenoptera), and their nests; wasps’ nests from Brazil and elsewhere; and an observation hive containing a swarm of Italian honey bees. Through the generosity of Mr. Samuel V. Hoffman, the Curator made a trip to the Black Mountains, North Carolina, in May and June. This expedition was in continuation of the 24 Report of the President. entomological survey of the Black Mountain region, which has been carried on for some years by the Curator, under grants from the late Very Reverend E. A. Hoffman. Mr. Samuel Hoffman also kindly provided the funds for the purchase of a collection of 3,600 specimens of North American and exotic moths. Messrs. G. A. Goss and A. D. Dodge presented a fine col- lection of beetles from Mt. Kinabalu, British North Borneo. Mr. J. Rhinelander donated a unique example of combs of the honey bee (Agzs mel/zfera) built on the branch of a tree. A collection of butterflies and moths from Sredne-Kolymsk, Province of Yakutsk, Siberia, and a number of interesting wasps’ nests from Brazil have been acquired by purchase. DEPARTMENT OF MINERALOGY AND CONCHOLOGY.—The Bement Collection of Minerals and the Morgan Gem Collec- tion have attracted a very large number of visitors, and have proved of increasing usefulness in extending interest in the mineral products of the United States. Extensive changes in the installment of the Gems have been planned, and the ensu- ing year will see a general expansion in respect to their posi- tion and arrangement, which is expected to improve the appearance of this popular feature of the department. A munificent gift from Mrs. Matilda W. Bruce has been received, in the form of an endowment of the Department of Mineralogy. It is an invested sum of $10,000, the interest of which is to be devoted to the purchase of mineralogical specimens, except in so far as its use in the purchase of geo- logical exhibits seems desirable. The minerals demand more room, and projects contem- plating a more complete exhibition of all the material com- posing this important collection will shortly be realized. It is to be hoped that in the development of the Museum, Economic Mineralogy will receive consideration, and that the remarkable mineral resources of the country, with at least a partial dem- onstration of their uses and treatment, will form part of the exhibits in the Museum halls. Additions by purchase and gifts are recorded in the List of Accessions. AUNIGHIVO, OR THE TEN’. ‘Tne largest of the Cape York meteorites. Removal from the Cob Dock, Brooklyn Navy Yard. Now at the American Museum. Report of the President. 25 The Shell Collections continue to increase much faster than the space allotted for their exhibition, which latter must, for some time to come, remain practically unchanged. - Through the continued generosity of Mr. Frederick A. Constable, important additions of Japanese shells have been made. Through the gift of Mr. Albert H. Storer, over seven thousand handsome shells have been added to the collection, and through his liberal permission they may be used in any way helpful to the improvement of the cabinet as a whole. Numerous additions by gift and exchange are recorded in the List of Accessions. Considerable interest is taken by a group of students and collectors in the shell collection, and it is to be regretted that this now imposing collection cannot be assigned a hall large enough for its complete display, together with facilities for illustrating local distribution and the domestic molluscan fauna. The time of the Curator has been, apart from the effort made to finish the record of these two large collections, par- tially employed in the current lectures of the Museum. DEPARTMENT OF INVERTEBRATE ZoOOLOGY.—During the past year considerable attention has been given to making the collections in the Synoptic Hall more attractive and com- prehensible to the public. The specimens in nearly all of the alcoves have been provided with permanent printed labels. Dr. Dahlgren with his assistants has made some very fine models of various invertebrates, among which the models of a large Synapta, several species of moss-animals (Polyzoa), a giant Japanese Hydroid (Branchiocerianthus) and a huge Australian sea-anemone (Zscosoma) are especially note- worthy. During May and June Professor Wheeler accompanied Mr. Chapman on his expedition to the Florida Keys and the Ba- hamas. Dr. Dahlgren joined the party during the latter month. A considerable number of corals, sea-fans, insects, myriopods, mollusks, etc., were collected on Andros and New Providence Islands. Dr. Dahlgren secured material. for a 26 Report of the President. group to illustrate the habits of the land-crabs of the West Indies, the accessories and one specimen for a group of - Iguanas, besides color-sketches of corals, mollusks, sea-fans, etc., to be used in constructing a coral reef in the Museum. Many of these drawings have been of great value in making models of some of the larger West Indian mollusks for the synoptic collections. Some of the material collected will be of use in supplying specimens to the New York City schools. There is also a good deal of new and undescribed material among the Bahaman insects and myriopods. Among the numerous acquisitions to the Department dur- ing the past year the following deserve special mention: A large collection of marine invertebrates from Vineyard Sound, Mass., purchased from Mr. F. W. Walmesley; forty-seven species of Coelenterata acquired by exchange with the Dublin Museum, Ireland, through Dr. J. E. Duerden; the above- mentioned collection of corals, etc., made in the Bahamas by Professor Wheeler and Dr. Dahlgren; and a fine collection, comprising more than a thousand vials, of spiders from the United States, the work of the late Horace Britcher and do- nated to the Museum by the mother and the friends of the young naturalist. Several scientific papers have been published during the past year by members of the department. Dr. J. E. Duerden has published the following: ‘‘The Antiquity of the Zoanthid Actinians,”’ ‘‘Recent Results on the Morphology and Develop- ment of Coral Polyps,” ‘‘ The Morphology of the Madrepo- raria V. Septal Sequence,” ‘‘The Coral S7zderastrea radians and its Postlarval Development.” The following have been published by Professor Wheeler: ‘‘ Three New Genera of In- quiline Ants from Utah and Colorado,” ‘‘ The Obligations of the Student of Animal Behavior,” ‘‘ A Crustacean-eating Ant,” ‘The American Ants of the Subgenus Colobopsis,” ‘‘ Ants from Catalina Island, California,” ‘‘ The Ants of North Caro- lina,” ‘‘A New Type of Social Parasitism among Ants,” ‘‘The Phylogeny of the Termites,” etc. Especially valuable and important has been the work ac- complished by Assistant Curator Sherwood in developing and Report of the President. 27 deepening the interest of the teachers and pupils of the New York schools in the collections of the Museum and the wide range of subjects which they represent. With the opening of the public schools in the fall of the past year the Museum was prepared to loan the small sets of natural history specimens mentioned in the Annual Report for the year 1903. Soon after registration was completed applications from the teach- ers began to come in for the use of the collections. Few of the schools which had formerly used the collections applied, and later it was learned that, through some misunderstanding, it was thought that the Museum would send the collections without application. An announcement, giving the conditions on which the collections would be loaned, was prepared and sent to all the Manhattan schools. There was an immediate demand for the collections, and by the end of December one hundred and twenty sets were in use in the city. During the fall these have been studied by 40,000 children. To meet the needs of the schools twenty sets of common woods have been prepared. The birds prove to be the most popular with the children, the insects coming next, then the minerals and woods. In fact, the requests for birds and insects are so numerous that it will be necessary to procure additional sets as soon as possible. The circulating collections have now been in use for a year and during that time have been studied by more than 250,000 children. During October, November and December members of the scientific staff gave a series of informal lectures for school- children. The course was arranged at the request of the New York City Teachers’ Association, and the subjects were selected by the Committee on Children’s Interests of the Association, with the purpose of supplementing the regular school work as outlined in the syllabus issued by the Board of Education. The hour selected—Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons at four o’clock—permitted pupils to attend in classes accompanied by their teachers. There were twelve lectures, each of which was delivered three times. A circular was prepared, announcing the lectures and the conditions on which seats would be reserved. These circulars, together 28 Report of the President. with coupons for making applications for the reservation of seats, were sent to all the public schools of Greater New York. At first it was thought that one of the small assembly rooms in the Museum would accommodate all that would attend, but as soon as the announcements had been generally distributed, this hall proved to be entirely inadequate, and the lectures were adjourned to the large auditorium, which seats 1428. Again and again every seat in this hall has been taken, and occasionally a special lecture had to be given in the small assembly room for those who could not gain admission to the regular lecture. Frequently several hundred applications were received after all the seats in the hall had been reserved, and the better to meet the demands of these pupils certain of the lectures were repeated Tuesdays and Thursdays. From twenty to thirty schools were represented at each lecture by classes of from ten to two hundred pupils each. ‘There can be no doubt of the popularity of these lectures, as the attend- ance from October 3 to December 23 was 25,0co. The Department of Invertebrate Zodlogy has received from the Department of Preparation and Installation, during the years 1903 and 1904, the following models of marine animals for exhibition in the Synoptic Hall of the Museum: 29 models of Protozoa (Lobosa, Foraminifera, Radiolaria and Infusoria); 13 Hydroids; 1 Actinarian; 19 Planarians; tr Nemerteans; 8 Polyzoans; 2 Holothurians; ro Mollusks. The Department of Preparation and Installation has also mounted several crustaceans, sponges and insects for the synoptic collection. DEPARTMENT OF PHystloLoGy.—The equipment of a small laboratory was begun in July. Much time has been spent in studying methods by which the soft structures of animals could be satisfactorily prepared for Museum demonstration. The older methods of preservation in various fluids have long been unsatisfactory, yet it has been impossible to make credit- able preparations in a-dry form. To this end a mode of arti- ficial petrification has been used, which thus far has given good results. It is excellently shown in a preparation of the GIANT HYDROID OF THE JAPAN SSE SEAS. (Twenty-eight inches in height.) Modelin glass and wax prepared at the Museum, Report of the President. 29 stomach of a young deer. The entire organ has preserved its natural shape; the characteristic glandular tissue of the rumen is evident; the cellular tissue of the reticulum is distinct; the muscular layers of the psalterium are readily dis- tinguished, and the blood vessels have retained their natural color. A modification of the same method has been extended to the preparation of osteological sections. The specimens are in every way clean and attractive, showing the structure of the bone and the joint with clearness. Dr. C. W. F. Muenchehofe has begun a series of corrosion preparations of the liver and kidney, which are already prom- ising excellent results. He has also instituted a tentative bacteriological demonstration showing the typical growth of many chromogenic, pathogenic and useful bacteria, which, when completed, will make an instructive display. Acknowledgments should here be extended to the Director of the Aquarium, the Director of the New York Zodlogical Society and the Director of the Central Park Menagerie, for many courtesies received. DEPARTMENT OF PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION.—The Department of Preparation and Installation was established at the beginning of the year 1903 for the purpose of coérdi- nating some of the more or less similar classes of preparatory work required by the various departments of the Museum and up to that time performed by each of them separately. The function of the new department thus’ became the preparation of various material for the respective study collections and particularly for purposes of exhibition. Besides this, its primary object, there has been developed iecieudepartement under) Dr B.1i. Dahlorensa pine of Museum work not heretofore seriously attempted in this country—the preparation of biological models. During the short time of its progress this work has been carried on along such lines as the needs of the synoptic zodlogical exhibit required, and a considerable number of forms have been modeled as follows: 30 Report of the President. t. Models have been made of microscopic forms, espe- cially the Protozoa, many of them enlarged 500-800 diameters, of minute Hydroids, of Planarians, and Polyzoa. 2. Series of models showing consecutive stages in the development of different forms, as the development of a coral polyp. These series in each case embody the results of the researches of investigators of the particular subject with which they deal, and are prepared under their supervision. In exchange for duplicates, material has thus been obtained from Prof. J. S. Kingsley; Prof. ‘C.judson) Mernickeror Charles A. Bardeen, and their codperation secured. 3. Models have been prepared, showing the structure or anatomy of some of the more complicated invertebrates, such as the clam and oyster. . 4. Models have also been made of a number of inverte- brate forms which, because of their perishable nature, are impossible of satisfactory preservation. The sea anemones and holothurians are good examples. The specimens of birds and mammals received by the Museum during the year have been cared for, and from this material skins and skeletons prepared for the study collec- tions. Some thirty mammals and over one hundred and seventy-five birds have been mounted. A group of Alaska Brown Bears, a group of Peccaries and a group of Roosevelt Elk are under way. The material for the Elk group has been collected during the year; also, among other things, skins and accessories for a group of Beavers. Several Reptile groups are under way, and a group of Land Crabs from the Bahamas has been collected and prepared. A number of small bird groups have been constructed from material collected by Mr. Chapman. Also two large _groups of birds—one representing the bird-life of an irri- gated area of the San Joaquin Valley, the other a Flamingo colony. Experiments toward the establishment of satisfactory meth- ods of procedure in the mounting of mammals, reptiles, etc., Report of the President. 21 have been carried on during the actual progress of the work, and some satisfactory results have been reached. The current work of preparing maps, labels, and lettering has been performed by the department; also the general work in photography for the Museum. Some relief maps have been modeled and the large Ant- arctic charts now in the foyer have been made. A large number of piece moulds, casts, etc., have been made for various departments, as noted under the departments to which they belong. DEPARTMENT OF BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS.—During the past year the special work has been the cataloguing of the Library, which was necessitated by the adoption of a new and more scientific method of classification; as a result 32,872 volumes have been catalogued with both subject and author index. This work has been under the direct supervision of Miss I. R. Hood. The accessions for the year amounted to 2,931 volumes and 3,103 pamphlets; among which are many valuable serials as well as the more important new books which have appeared during the year. : Of special interest has been the gift of the private library of Professor H. C. Bumpus and also the gift of the elephant folio edition of Audubon’s ‘‘ Birds of America,” by Mr. Archi- bald Rogers. Mr. John R. Livermore has given a painting of the White-throated Sparrow, bearing the signature of J. J. Audubon. Prof. Wheeler has presented to the Museum his collections of books and pamphlets on Arachnida, and the Museum has acquired by purchase his library on North American Diptera. On the shelves of the Library will now be found the cur- rent numbers of all the important periodicals relating to natural history, together with the larger number of the publications of the Academies and learned Societies of the world. The book-binding department has been engaged almost entirely in the covering of separata, which have been accumu- lating for many years. 32 Report of the President. During the year 15,573 cards have been received from the Concilium Bibliographicum and intercalated in the original set. This has proved to be one of the most complete and practical bibliographies of biological subjects, and has been much used. In addition to this set the Concilium has recently deposited in the American Museum of Natural History a com- plete’ set of its cards.. | @hese are for therconventencemes American purchasers, who can thus obtain the cards at the same price as from Zitirich, but with the saving of much time. The Museum has undertaken this gratuitously for the benefit of American biologists. z During the past year the Museum has sent the following letter to one hundred Institutions in selected centers: ‘“The American Museum of Natural History desires to place its publications in certain institutions where they may remain as complete. sets forall time. Weare therefore asking you if the name of your library may be placed upon a hist of one hundred institutions to receive the ‘Memoirs’ and ‘ Bul- letin’ of the American Museum, with the understanding, first, that these publications be sent gratis, and second, that they shall be made available for reference and study for those in your locality who may be disposed to avail themselves of the general privileges of your institution.” Replies have been received and publications sent to ninety- eight of these institutions. : Following is a list of the scientific publications of the Museum issued in 1904, as received by the Curator for distri- bution and exchange: DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND INVERTEBRATE PALONTOLOGY.

DEPARTMENT OF Maps anp CuHarts.—The work of pre- paring and classifying the Museum’s large collection of maps has been continued by Dr. Woodward. A large part of the collection is now available for use, having been placed in convenient holders, arranged by subjects, as under states, counties, etc., so as to be readily accessible. Several maps of great rarity are contained in the collection, which now ranks as fourth in importance in New York City. Much use of the collection has been made during the past year, even by per- sons outside of the Museum Staff. Important donations have been received from Gen. J. Wiattsndesbevcster Drala ~ Bumpus., Profs ke Osborn: and Mr. A. F. Bandelier. The accessions have been: ya Won ation alter Atl ASCSia Sire baeterisres.

ATTENDANCE.—The number of visitors to the Museum during 1904 was 402,449—a considerable increase over that of previous years. The number of pupils from the schools, public and private, increased from 7,032 in 1903 to 42,380 in 1904, a gain of about 600 per cent. ‘This is largely the result of the establishment of new and more intimate relations between the Museum and the Public Schools. Members of the scientific staff have been detailed to give lectures espe- cially prepared for the school children. These have been attended by fully 35,000 pupils. As stated elsewhere in this report, the Museum has kept in circulation among the schools about 140 small collections of natural history specimens, thus still further extending the educational work of the Museum among the Public Schools. The number of visitors on holidays is often so great as to tax our resources for their management and accommodation. The attendance at the meetings of the scientific societies held in the Museum has been over 1700; at public lectures, about | 44,000, besides the 35,000 present at lectures given to school children. ASSOCIATED SOCIETIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.—As already noted on an earlier page of this report, two small assembly rooms were fitted up early in the year for the use of the scientific societies which have sought affiliations with the Museum, and also for use as small lecture halls. The follow- ing societies and classes have shared the hospitality of the Museum during the past year: New York Academy of Sciences. New York Entomological Society. Linnzean Society of New York. New York Mineralogical Club. West Side Natural History Society. American Ethnological Society. Sequoya League. Audubon Society of the State of New York. Eighth International Geographic Congress. Dr. J. E. Peabody’s class in Zodlogy. Dr. Clark Wissler’s class in Anthropology. Mr. Julius-M. Johnson’s class in Nature Study. Report of the President. Br TRANSPORTATION.—As heretofore we have been greatly assisted in our field work by the liberality of various railways and transportation companies through the granting of passes to curators and their assistants, in reaching and returning from their distant fields of exploration, and reduced rates of transportation for their collection, without which generous aid extensive field work would be impossible. The list of railways and transportation companies to whom we have been indebted during the past year is as follows: Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Railway. Mexican Central Railway. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. | Mexican National Railway. Chicago & Northwestern Railway. Northern Pacific Railway. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway. Southern Railway. Canadian Pacific Railway. Southern Pacific Company. Canadian Northern Railway. St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad. Erie Railroad. Union Pacific Railroad. Great Northern Railway. Wabash Railroad. Lrecrures.—The courses of lectures include (1) a course to teachers, (2) a course to members of the Museum, (3) a public course given on holidays, (4) lectures to the children of the public schools, (5) a course under the auspices of the Board of Education of the City of New York, in codperation with the Museum. The spring course to teachers was given as usual by Profes- sor Bickmore under a grant from the State. At the end of this course the State failed to renew the grant, and the fall course, owing to the illness of Professor Bickmore, was given by other members of the Museum Staff.

Important additions have been made to the collections in nearly all departments, and several notable exhid‘ts have for 42 Report of the President. the first time been opened to the public. The educational work has been greatly extended through the special lectures of the scientific staff to the pupils of the public schools, and through the provision of additional circulating collections of natural history specimens. The publications, based on the researches of the scientific staff, have fully maintained the high standard of previous years. The appreciation of the public has been manifested by an increase in the number of visitors, in the lecture attendance and in the addition of more than the usual number of new members; the hopes and expec- tations of the Founders, however, will not be fully realized until a much larger number of citizens of all classes have discovered the pleasure that comes from coéperating in good work. There never has been a time when the Museum would more gladly welcome new members, or when membership fees would accomplish more than the present. In closing this Report, and with the utmost regret, I am obliged to announce to the friends of the Museum the loss we sustain in the decease of Mr. Adrian Iselin, one of the original incorporators, for thirty-six years a member of the Board of Trustees, a generous contributor and a sincere friend. Very truly yours, Morris K. Jesup, President. FINANCIAL STATEMENT. PERMANENT ENDOWMENT.

L do hereby give and bequeath to ‘* THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY, 07 the City of New Vonks THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT. To the Trusteesand Members of the American Museum of Natural flistory : The President submits herewith a report of the affairs of the Museum for the year 1905. Finances.—The financial transactions of the Museum are divided into three separate accounts, and the details of the receipts, expenditures and investments for the year just closed, thus classified, will be found in the Treasurer’s Report, pages 39 to 45 inclusive. These accounts and all books and vouch- ers have been duly examined and certified to by the Audit Com- pany of New York. A few statements may help in making the details of this report clear. Permanent Endowment.—This fund amounts to $1,013,000, the same as noted in the last Report. The interest on this sum provides the principal source of income of the Gen- eral Account, upon which is dependent the purchase of new collections, the maintenance of field parties, the publication of the results of scientific investigations, in short, the general growth of the collections and the continuation and extension of scientific work. It is not sufficient to meet our present needs and an increase of this fund is imperative. Special Funds.—¥rom time to time friends of the Museum have united their interest in some special researches, explora- tions or installations, and have provided the means therefor by subscribing to a ‘‘special fund.” In such cases an officer of the Museum has generally acted as treasurer, and the scien- II 12 Report of the President. tific or educational results have been directly contributed to the Museum. City Maintenance Account.—The amount received from the City for the maintenance of the Museum, $160,000, was the same as in 1902, 1903 and 1904. Generous as the sum is, it has again proved insufficient to meet the running expenses, and there is a deficit of $19,506.41, or more than double the deficit of a year ago. ‘The steady and normal growth of the Museum makes urgent a larger sum for general running expenses. General Account.—In this account the total receipts from all sources have been $76,897.90. The interest on the Per- manent Endowment Fund amounted to $47,200 (an increase of $12,055 over that of 1904); $3,100 have been received as Life Membership fees, and $14,775 from Annual Members. The total sum from membership fees exceeds that for 1904 by $1,495, the largest amount from this source thus far re- corded, and is to be interpreted as an indication of the grow- ing interest that the people of the City are taking in the work of the Museum. It is hoped and expected that this form of income may be increased. BUILDING OPERATIONS.—The west transit, or the approach to the Power House, has been completed and was taken pos- session of by the Museum under its contract with the City. An appropriation of $500,000 has been made by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for ‘‘ finishing and equipping the building and for the construction of additions thereto.” MeEmMBERSHIP.—The total membership on January 1, 1906, was 1,963.
