Introduction
On June 8, 1955, during the first session of the 84th Congress, the
House of Representatives on the recommendation of the Committee
on Public Works passed a bill (H. R. 6410) authorizing the construc-
tion of a building for a Museum of History and Technology for the
Smithsonian Institution at a cost not to exceed $36,000,000, including
the preparation of plans and specifications, and all other work inci-
dental thereto. Following a favorable report by the Committee on
Public Works of the Senate of the United States, the same bill passed
the Senate by unanimous consent on June 17, 1955. The President of
the United States on June 28, 1955, approved the Act of Congress
(Public Law 106) which authorizes and directs the Regents of the
Smithsonian Institution to plan and construct this museum building.
In this building will be housed the collections now displayed in the
Arts and Industries building of the United States National Museum.
Funds Allotted
From the funds appropriated by Congress to carry on the opera-
tions of the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus during the fiscal
year 1955, the sum of $1,136,016 was allotted to the United States
National Museum for the preservation, increase, and study of the
national collections of anthropological, zoological, botanical, and
geological collections, as well as materials illustrative of engineering,
industry, graphic arts and history (this amount includes sums ex-
pended for the program of exhibits modernization).
Exhibits
The program of modernizing exhibits, initiated during the pre-
ceding year, was continued in 1955 by a Congressional allotment of
$360,000. Contracts were awarded and work commenced on the
North American mammal and the bird halls and construction was
started on the cultural history (the colonial tradition in America) |
and the power machinery halls.
Anthropology
On the evening of June 2, 1955, President William M. Milliken of
the American Association of Museums and Secretary Leonard Car-
michael of the Smithsonian Institution formally opened to the public
the newly modernized American Indian hall in a ceremony scheduled
as part of the program of the 50th anniversary meeting of the Asso-
ciation. The ethnographic displays in this hall range geographi-
cally from Tierra del Fuego, at the southern tip of South America,
through Latin America, to southwestern United States and Cali-
fornia. The life-size groups in the displays portray various aspects
of the ways of life of these historic Indian cultures and are a legacy
from the past, having been designed by the talented artist and former
head curator of anthropology, Dr. William H. Holmes. Some were
exhibited at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, in 1893.
Five miniature dioramas supplement these life-size family groups, and
portray (1) the Indians who met Columbus; (2) life in a Yosemite
Indian village in the fall of the year, when acorns are being collected ;
(3) a sacred ceremony in the antelope kiva of the Hopi Indians;
(4) terrace farming among the Inca; and (5) a camp scene among
the Yahgan Indians, the southernmost people in the world. Wall
cases illustrate the basic economy of each culture in terms of food,
clothing, shelter, and handicrafts.
A selection of the 53 displays that comprise this hall are illustrated
on the pages that follow. These displays were the product of close
cooperation between Associate Curator of Ethnology John C. Ewers,
who planned the hall and suggested the case layouts, and the group
of artists who designed and installed the exhibits under the creative
direction of Exhibits Specialist John E. Anglim. Working with Mr.
Anglim were T. G. Baker, R. O. Hower, W. T. Marinetti, E. H. Nor-
mandin, Jr., and M. M. Pearson. Three of the dioramas were fash-
ioned by Exhibits Preparator A. Joseph Andrews and two others

Wild seeds, principally acorns, were an important food resource which
the Hupa women collected and processed. Men hunted and fished.
CALIFORNIA
Pomo women of northwestern
California were noted for making
some of the world’s most finely
woven baskets.
Clamshell beads and dentalia,
another shell, took the place of
money in trade among the tribes
of California Indians.

nize and name the hun-

ceremonial chamber, or kiva, members of the Snake
and Antelope Societies perform traditional Hopi PUEBLO
religious rites. (This is a diorama.)
Many changes in style have
occurred during the Pueblo’s more
than 1500 years of pottery-
making. These examples are from
the late 19th century.

APACHE AND NAVAHO
: oe ose peer
Navaho craftsmen scarcely 100 years
ago learned from the Mexicans how
to work metal. Today they make
beautiful silver ornaments for sale
and for their own use.
The Cocopa gained a liveli-
hood in the deserts of
Mexico along the lower Col-
orado River by growing crops
in the irrigated river bottoms,
hunting small game, and
fishing.
In their preference for buckskin cloth-
ing, the Apache resembled neighbor-
ing tribes of the Great Plains.
The Apache traditionally wove
coiled baskets and also painted and
beaded articles of buckskin. Their
crafts were like those of the South-
western and Plains Indians.
In the Mexican-border region the
desert-dwelling Pima were skilled
potters, basketmakers, and weavers
of cotton blankets and belts. The
cotton they grew in irrigated fields.

The tribes of Tierra del Fuego are the southernmost people of the world.
Contrasted here are the customs of the Yahgan canoemen, who wore few
clothes and sought their food by the sea, and the Ona footmen, who
hunted the swift-footed Ilama-like guanaco, their principal source of
food, clothing, and shelter.
The horse, introduced by the Spanish, enabled the bola-using Tehuelche
to become more effective nomadic hunters on the grasslands of
Axvrgentina.
EXHIBITS 3
were prepared in the Museum Laboratory of the National Park
Service from Mr. Ewers’ specifications.
After many months of planning by Associate Curator C. Malcolm
Watkins and Chief Exhibits Preparator John E. Anglim, and with
the cooperation of Public Buildings Service, construction was begun
in Hall 26 on exhibits depicting colonial life in North America. In
a series of 50 case exhibits and 6 period rooms household furnishings
as well as useful and decorative arts will be displayed to illustrate
domestic customs from the earliest settlements along the Atlantic
Coast to about 1830. Two of the latter will be ground floor rooms
of the complete 2-story 17th-century house from Everett, Mass., the
gift of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur M. Greenwood of Marlboro, Mass.
An instructive exhibit, “Folk Pottery of Early New England,” was
installed in an alcove of the ground floor foyer of the Natural History
Building by Mr. Watkins and the exhibits preparators. The redware
and stoneware there displayed were selected from the gift collection
of Mrs. Lura Woodside Watkins.
The drama of the buffalo-hunting Plains Indian, the warfare he
waged in defense of his way of life, and the coming of the frontier—
these historical incidents provided themes for special exhibitions in
which the U. S. National Museum participated. Paintings and
drawings of Indian subjects made by such early 19th century Ameri-
can artists as George Catlin, John Mix Stanley, Charles Bird King,
H. Stieffel, and Gustavus Sohon, were lent to various museums and
galleries throughout the United States.
Owing to its unique character and outstanding interest a figurine
of wood, basketry, and cloth from the central coast of Peru, dated
about A. D. 1100, was installed in a special case at the south end of
the hall, “Highlights of Latin American Archeology.”
During June 1955, a display of casts illustrating skeletal age changes
in young American males was installed among the semipublic exhibits
maintained in the third-floor corridors of the Natural History Build-
ing. A temporary exhibit, “The Sickle Cell Disease in Man,” de-
veloped by Associate Curator Marshall T. Newman in collaboration
with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, was shown at the
annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences on April 25,
1955.
Zoology
During the year the exhibits staff of the department of zoology
completed the installation of the puma, Alaska wolf, pronghorn
antelope, and Virginia deer in the recently constructed habitat units.
For the bison group in this North American mammal hall, the Fish
and Wildlife Service provided three animals from the National Bison
Range. Chief Exhibits Preparator W. L. Brown made a trip to

Amidon and Bismarck, N. Dak., and to the Bison Range at Moiese,
Mont., for habitat photographs, background accessories, and related
materials.
In the bird hall work was completed on all construction. Also
completed was one habitat group, depicting the bird life of the Ant-
arctic, in which five emperor and three Adelie penguins, a skua, a
kelp gull, and a snow petrel are shown. The paintings on the back-
grounds of display units for the hoatzin, Carolina parakeet, bower
bird, honey-guide, and palm chat were essentially finished at the
close of the fiscal year. The paintings of flying birds for the ceiling
of this hall were completed and the installation of some exhibits was
commenced.
Notable among a special series of small exhibits of insects placed
on display in the foyer of the Natural History Building was an
exhibit of Morpho butterflies showing sexual dimorphism and the
contrast between physical and chemical coloration.
Geology
Planning for the medernization of the geological exhibits has been
resumed. ‘The general plans and layouts of the halls for minerals,
invertebrate fossils, and the lower vertebrate fossils have been deter-
mined. Associate Curator David H. Dunkle and Exhibits Worker
G. Donald Guadagni were in the field during the last five weeks of the
fiscal year searching the Cretaceous chalk beds of Kansas for fossil
fish needed to complete the exhibition series. Curator G. A. Cooper
of the division of invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany visited
the University of Michigan and the Chicago Museum of Natural
History for consultations regarding installation of proposed restora-
tions of fossil life in the hall of fossil invertebrates. Preparation of
the giant ground sloth material from Panama has been completed
and two skeletons have been assembled for mounting and installation
in the exhibition hall.
Engineering and Industries
The detailed planning of the power machinery hall was completed
during the year, the plans and specifications were reviewed, and the
preparation of exhibits for installation was in progress. The ex-
hibits in this hall illustrate the development of power machinery by
means of original machines, models, and graphic devices. Several
new models of pioneer power machines were constructed by Donald
H. Berkebile, modelmaker, in the exhibits workshop. The actual
construction of this hall will start shortly after the close of this fiscal
year. Both the hall of horse-drawn and locomotive transportation,
which was painted under the buildings renovation program, and the
EXHIBITS 5
boat hall have been greatly improved by the installation of fluorescent
lighting. In order to improve the display of instruments in the me-
trology section, all but the more significant have been put in storage.
New exhibits on the development of the balance and the early instru-
ments of astronomy and surveying are now complete.
Tn the hall of textiles eight new exhibits were installed and four
were renovated. A noteworthy new one traces asbestos from early
superstitious use to modern times, and another, “American Cotton
Before Columbus,” features important early Peruvian fabrics. An
exhibit on hand spinning, one on machine spinning, and four on the
development of the loom through fly-shuttle weaving were completed.
Tn the section of manufactures an addition was made to the Fessen-
den exhibit of plant and insect specimens preserved in plastic. The
tire exhibit and opposite cases were repainted to harmonize with the
recently painted south hall, and the appearance of the south hall gal-
lery was further improved by a rearrangement of cases, the repainting
of two wall cases, and the renovation of the sealskin exhibit. A new
exhibit of patent models of harrows, arranged against a large photo-
mural background of a harrow in use, was installed. The planter
exhibit was moved to a lighted case, enlarged, and relabeled.
An outline of the plans for the hall of health was circulated to pro-
fessionally interested individuals and institutions for comment. The
theme of this hall will be man’s knowledge of his body then and now, a
comparison of old and present ideas and knowledge of the human
body.
Exhibits designed and constructed in the division of medicine and
public health during the past year include an introductory exhibit,
pointing out the highlights of the gallery of medical history, and
presenting a brief historical orientation to medical science; “A Tele-
gram From Your Heart,” showing the historical evolution of the
electrocardiograph, and featuring Dr. Frank Wilson’s original electro-
cardiograph; an 1875 dental office containing the significant office
equipment of Dr. G. V. Black, pioneer in dental education; “Hearing
Aids, from Cupped Hand to Transistor,” tracing the development of
the hearing aid; “Mortar and Pestle, Symbol of Pharmacy,” showing
the chronological development of the mortar and pestle from the stone
mortar to the Wedgwood mortar; “The Pharmaceutical Balance,”
tracing the evolution of the balances used in pharmacy; “Percolation,”
describing the historical devolpment of this important pharmaceutical
process; “Compressed Tablets vs. Handmade Pills,” tracing the evolu-
tion of the pill machine and the tablet press; “Milestones in Cardi-
ology,” a portrait exhibit of pioneers of cardiology; “Sculpture Por-
traits of Medical Greats,” featuring ten plaques by sculptress Doris
Appel; “Suppository Mold: Past and Present,” an exhibit showing

mold; an exhibit featuring the William R. Warner original pill-
coating pan and pitcher, used for sugar-coating pills; an exhibit
featuring the original Scherer gelatin capsulating machine; “Pre-
scriptions Around the World,” a collection of medical prescriptions
from the far corners of the globe; and an exhibit of apothecary show
globes of the late 19th century.
Exhibits prepared by donors, with the guidance of the associate
curator of the division, and installed in the division of medicine and
public health during the past year, include “The Dodrill-GMR
Mechanical Heart,” presented by General Motors Research Labora-
tories; “Allergies,” featuring an animated step-by-step demonstration
of typical allergic reactions, presented by Ciba Pharmaceutical Prod-
ucts, Inc.; “Binding up a Wound,” an exhibit presented by Johnson
and Johnson to show the evolution of surgical dressings and featuring
a Peruvian skull, some 1,500 years old, on which ancient cotton gauze
is held in place by several strands of strong llama-hair cord; “Take
Away That Bitter Taste,” tracing the evolution of flavoring medicines,
presented by Dodge and Olcott, Inc.; “Your Height and Weight,”
contributed by the American Medical Association; “The Story of the
Ampoule,” presented by Parke, Davis Company; and “The Evolution
of Medical Illustrating,” contrasting early anatomical illustrations
and present day medical illustrations, lent by artist Paul Peck of
Sudler and Hennessey, Inc. In addition Eli Lilly completely refur-
bished their exhibit, “Insulin and Diabetes.”
In cooperation with the American Institute of the History of Phar-
macy, the division of medicine and public health sponsored a pictorial
exhibit tracing the evolution of the drug store at the 75th anniversary
meeting of the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association, in Madison,
Wise.
Jacob Kainen, curator of the division of graphic arts, and J. Harry
Phillips, Jr., museum aide, began a complete revision of the exhibits
dealing with the techniques of picture printing. The photogravure
and rotogravure sections have been completed and the section on the
halftone relief process is partially completed. Lighting has been
installed in the hall for the first time.
In the section of photography material was gathered for exhibits
relating to the history of stereophotography and to early motion pic-
ture devices. AGidom on

A unique gift to the division of archeology was the figure of a
human, made from wood, cloth and basketry, recovered from a grave
along the central coast of Peri and dating from about A. D. 1100.
This unusual object was presented by Mrs. Virginia Morris Pollak
as a gift from the Arther Morris collection. A series of large archeo-
logical collections taken from excavation projects in various parts
of the Missouri Basin has been transferred to the Museum by the
River Basin Surveys.

Zoology
Mammals.—Two major studies were brought to completion during
the year and notable progress was made cn other long-term projects.
Dr. David H. Johnson, acting curator, continued his studies of eastern
Asiatic mammals and, at the request of the Commission on Hemor-
rhagic Fever, Armed Forces Epidemiological Board, and with the
assistance of Lt. J. Knox Jones, Jr., U. S. A., he undertook a review
of Korean mammals based mainly on specimens collected by Army
field teams between 1952 and 1954.
Associate Curator Henry W. Setzer, submitted for publication his
final report on mammals from the Anglo-EKgyptian Sudan. This
thorough study of the fauna of the Sudan increased the number of
known genera of land mammals of that area, other than bats, from
30 to 50; 29 species and subspecies were found to be new. Consider-
able progress on a similar report on Kgyptian mammals, also collected
by Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3, was made by Dr. Setzer.
Associate Curator Charles O. Handley, Jr., completed a revision of
the American plecotine bats, a contribution providing the first clear
indication of the relationship of recent New World species to the Old
World and fossil forms. He also completed a report on the mammals
of the Dismal Swamp for the Virginia Academy of Sciences, made
further progress on a systematic study of the mammals of the Kala-
hari Desert of South-West Africa, the mammals of the high Arctic,
the marsupials of Central America, and the bats of the genus Dasyp-
terus. During the year Dr. Handley completed the requirements for
a doctorate in zoology from the University of Michigan and in June
was granted the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
Birds.—Curator Herbert Friedmann completed a paper on parasitic
reproduction in African cuckoos, based on information assembled
since the publication in 1948 of his book on this subject, and completed
30 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955
2 report dealing with a recently discovered drawing of the extinct
Mauritian dodo and with the evidence his study brought to light con-
erning the early observers and illustrators of this bird. His investi-
gation of the digestion of beeswax by honey-g ides, pursued under a
special grant from the Guggenheim Foundation, revealed that the
splitting of the wax is due to microorganisms flourishing in the intes-
tines of the birds and not to any avian enzymes. It is now known
that there is a synergistic relation between the two wax-splitting micro-
organisms discovered. Dr. Friedmann also worked on the second
volume of the “Birds of Mexico” and on the fifth edition of “A. O. U.
Check List of North American Birds,” and revised part of the manu-
script on the birds of Gaboon, a study made jointly with Dr. A. L.
Rand of the Chicago Natural History Museum.
Associate Curator Horbort G Deignan brought the manuscript of
his critical catalog of the type specimens of birds in the Museum up
to date and continued his studies on the birds of Thailand, revising
various groups of species where new data or additional specimens
made such action necessary. So far he has completed the accounts of
I] the non-passerine groups.
Germen * Bond muse-m side. revised the ‘dentifications and the

1,000 specimens during his 3 months’ field trip to Panama this year,
continued his work on the fifth edition of the “A. O. U. Check List of
North American Birds” and also studied the Panamanian and Colom-
bian collections of birds he has amassed during the past 15 years.
Reptiles and Amphibians.—The catalog of type material in the
Museum division of reptiles and amphibians, being prepared by
Dr. Doris M. Cochran, associate curator, nears completion; it will
contain about 2,000 names of types, references to the original de-
scriptions, present synonyms, and a list of cotypes and paratypes in
the national collections. Work on the monographic account of the
frogs of western Brazil awaits the arrival of additional material from
the University of Sao Paulo. Dr. Cochran’s report on the frogs of
southeastern Brazil was published and distributed on June 22, 1955.
Fishes.—Drs. Leonard P. Schultz, curator, and Ernest A. Lachner,
associate curator, continued work on volume 2 of “The Fishes of the
Marshall and Marianas Islands.” At the end of the year this volume,
which now includes 32 families, 110 genera, and 265 species, was 92
percent complete. Two papers, “The Golden Tetra, a New Species
of Hemigrammus from British Guiana” and “Know Your Australian
Rainbowfishes,” were published by Dr. Schultz during the year.
Three others were completed and submitted for publication: “Re-
vision of the Parrotfishes, Family Scaridae, of the World”; “Hand-
book of Tropical Aquarium Fishes” (with H. A. Axelrod); and “A
INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 31
new Pinecone Fish, Monocentris reedi, from Chile, a New Family
Record for the Eastern Pacific.” About 90 percent completed is a
world-wide revision of the frogfishes, family Antennariidae.
Dr. Lachner published one paper, “Inquilinism and a New Record
for Paramia bipunctata, a Cardinalfish from the Red Sea,” and com-
pleted two others: “Populations of the Berycoid Fish Family Poly-
mixiidae” and “a Revision of the Shark-Suckers, Family Echene-
idae.” During September 1954 Dr. Lachner, assisted by Frank
Schwartz of the University of Pittsburgh, collected several thousand
fishes and a number of crayfish in promotion of his projected study
of the fresh-water fishes of the mountain streams of Virginia, the
Carolinas, and Georgia. He was also granted a John Simon Guggen-
heim Memorial Fellowship for a 4-months’ study of certain tropical
marine fishes in European museums; and was elected vice-president of
the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists.
Robert H. Kanazawa, biological aide, has expanded to include re-
lated genera his world revision of the eel genus Conger, which he has
had under way for the past two years.
Imsects.—Curator J. F. Gates Clarke completed a revision of the
Neotropical moths of the genus Orthocomotis and continued with his
study of the Meyrick types of Microlepidoptera in the British Mu-
seum of Natural History, of which the first two volumes of the even-
tual six appears during the year. Also in progress are his studies
of the Microlepidoptera of the Juan Fernandez Islands (Chile) and
of Micronesia, and his revision of the American moths of the family
Phaloniidae. Dr. Clarke in May 1955 started an extended field trip
to the Pacific Northwest
Associate Curator O. L. Cartwright completed an extensive revision
of the scarab beetles of the genus Psammodius and made further
progress with his studies of the beetles of the genus Ataenius and of
the genus Onthophagus, suspected of being the intermediate hosts of
parasites of domestic animals. Also in progress are reports on the
Scarabaeidae of Micronesia and of Bimini.
Associate Curator William D. Field continued his studies of the
Neotropical Lycaenidae (Theclinae) (hair streaks) and the genera
Constachila, Phulia, Piercolias, and Baltica (Pieridae). Miss Grace
Glance pursued her study of the Isotomidae.
Marine Inveriebrates.—Curator Fenner A. Chace, Jr., prepared a
report on the decapod and stomatopod crustaceans of Los Roques and
the neighboring islands of Venezuela, based on collections received
from the Sociedad de Ciencias Naturales La Salle, in Caracas. He
also compiled a list of certain crustaceans identified from collections
made by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service vessel Oregon in the
Gulf of Mexico from 1950 through 1954. His study of the porcellanid
crabs of West Africa, in progress since 1948, is nearing completion.

3, U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955
Associate Curator Frederick M. Bayer completed five manuscripts,
chiefly on the octocorallians, including a chapter on the Octocorallia
for the “Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology.” In June 1955 he
joined an expedition to the Palau Islands sponsored jointly by the
George Vanderbilt Foundation and the Office of Naval Research.
Mr. Bayer will be responsible for the invertebrate investigations of
the expedition during a 4-months’ stay on Koror.
Associate Curator Thomas E. Bowman completed two manuscripts
since joining the staff in August 1954, one on a new copepod from the
northeastern Pacific and the other a description of a new species of
the isopod genus Chiridotea. Dr. Bowman is currently engaged in an
extensive study of the calanoid copepods collected off the southeastern
United States by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife vessel Theodore N. Gull.
Clarence R. Shoemaker, associate in zoology, completed 5 manu-
scripts during his 81st year, and is now occupied with a revision of
the amphipods of the family Haustoriidae.
Dr. J. Percy Moore, collaborator, who is still actively working on
the morphology and systematics of leeches at the age of 86, during
the year edited with Marvin C. Meyer a translation from the Russian
of an extensive treatise on leeches by W. D. Selensky. Dr. Moore is
currently working on the anatomy and systematics of some leeches
from the Museum and the University of Natal, South Africa, as well
as on a large collection of leeches, mostly of the genus Helobddella,
from Lake Titicaca.
Mrs. Mildred S$. Wilson, collaborator in copepod Crustacea, has
completed two manuscripts on new species of copepods of the genus
Diaptomus, from Louisiana, and is preparing a taxonomic report on
the copepods of Lake Pontchartrain.
During the year, 23 specialists in other institutions undertook to
identify material of various groups of invertebrates for the Museum.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 33
Mollusks.—Curator Harald A. Rehder made progress on his revi-
sion of the superfamily Pyramidellacea for the “Treatise of Inverte-
brate Paleontology.”
Associate Curator J. P. E. Morrison continued his studies on the
families Ellobiidae, Cyclophoridae, and Amphicyclotidae of America,
and worked on the Hydrobiidae.
Dr. R. Tucker Abbott, associate curator, was occupied, until his
resignation in November to accept a position at the Academy of Nat-
ural Sciences of Philadelphia, with researches on the Assimineidae
of the western Pacific.
Research by visiting investigators.—In addition to investigators
from Federal agencies located in the Washington area, more than 180
professional biologists and students with an interest in systematic
zoology paid one or more visits to the offices and laboratories of the
department, some staying for considerable time. Among the foreign
visitors and their fields of interest were the following:

Botany
Phanerogams.—Curator A. C. Smith prepared and submitted for
publication a report on his most recent Fijian explorations, and also
a discussion of the significance of the phanerogam genera that have
distributions terminating in Fiji. Between April 15 and June 30 he
was transferred to the staff of the National Science Foundation to act
as Program Director for Systematic Biology during the absence from
that position of Dr. William C. Steere. Dr. Smith was elected to
serve as president of the American Society of Plant Taxonomists.
Dr. L. B. Smith, associate curator, has continued his studies toward
a Flora of Colombia by the publication of a paper, “Revisio Vio-
lacearum Colombiae,” in joint authorship with Dr. A. Fernandez-
34 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955
Pérez, of the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Bogota. He has nearly
completed a manuscript treating the more than 350 species of Colom-
bian Bromeliaceae. During the year he has been seeing through
press a comprehensive paper on “The Bromeliaceae of Brazil,” dis-
cussing over 570 species and with 128 illustrations prepared by Dr.
Robert J. Downs of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Besides
its taxonomic interest, this paper provides a basis for research in
bromeliad malaria, and has considerable horticultural application
because of the high proportion of ornamental species of the family in
Brazil. With Father Raulino Reitz, he has been studying the flora of
the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil, and with Dr. Downs he prepared
a treatment of the Rubiaceae of Santa Catarina for publication in
Sellowia, the journal of the Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues,” edited by
Father Reitz.
Associate Curator E. H. Waiker, in collaboration with Dr. F. R.
Fosberg, completed and submitted for publication a third supple-
ment to a preliminary checklist of plants in the Shenandoah National
Park. He continued to progress in his studies of the genus Corylopsis
(Hamamelidaceae) and in a study of the Myrsinaceae of Taiwan. The
latter project follows naturally after a critical study of the
Myrsinaceae of Japan (published this year) and of the Ryukyu
Islands (now in press). His principal research effort has been di-
rected toward the preparation of a “Flora of Okinawa and the south-
ern Ryukyu Islands,” which is essentially a new edition of the “Flora
of Okinawa, an enumeration of the plants of Okinawa and Sakishima
archipelagos in the Ryukyu Islands,” by S. Sonohara, S. Tawada, and
T. Amano (1952, edited by E. H. Walker). The current work was
started in 1954 at the request of the U. S. Civil Administration of the
Ryukyu Islands, U. S. Army, because of the unexpectedly early ex-
haustion of the supply of the earlier Flora and the urgent need for a
new edition.
Associate Curator E. C. Leonard continued his work on part 3 and
the supplement of his comprehensive study of the Acanthaceae of
Colombia. Revisions were completed for 11 of the 15 genera to be
treated. An annotated list of the plants growing in the Potomac
Triassic Area of Virginia, to be included in a paper on the floristics
of that region by H. A. Allard and Mr. Leonard, has been essentially
completed.
Dr. Velva E. Rudd, associate curator, completed her “Revision of
the genus Vissolia,” part of a study of the subtribe Aeschynomeninae
of the family Leguminosae, of which the first paper, “The American
species of Aeschynomene,” is now in press as a Contribution from
the U. S. National Herbarium. Two more papers are planned to
complete the series.
INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 35
Research Associate EK. P. Kallip, continued to make valuable collec-
tions of plants in Cuba and southern Florida, and during his visits
to Washington prepared duplicates for distribution, thus adding sub-
stantially to the material sent out in exchange by the division.
Grasses.—Curator Jason R. Swallen continued his studies on the
grasses of southern Brazil, and completed for publication “Notes on
Honduras grasses.” His “Grasses of Guatemala,” is being published
by the Chicago Natural History Museum.
Associate Curator Ernest R. Schns, published a paper on fascicle
morphology in Cenchrus and Pennisetum. 'Two collecting trips were
made to México during the past year. The first was to the State
of San Luis Potosi in September and October. Over 2,200 specimens,
mostly grasses, were collected throughout the State. Special atten-
tion was given to the Sierra de San Miguelito and the Sierra de
Guadaleazar. Besides numerous range extensions, one very rare
grass genus (Calamochloa) was found for the second time in the
Sierra de Guadalcazar. This grass, represented by an inadequate
specimen in the Paris Museum, was collected by the French mineralo-
gist, Pierre Virlet d’Aoust, in 1881. Not only is the genus a rare
endemic, but the single species is dioecious. It is being redescribed
and illustrated. In March, a trip was made to Lake Miramar in the
State of Chiapas in collaboration with El Centro de Investigaciones
Antropdlogicas de México. Over 650 specimens were collected in the
Lacandon Forest near the lake. Many of the grasses, mostly hy-
grophilous forest species, were new records for the State and one
species was new to México.
Mrs. Agnes Chase, research associate, continued to devote her full
time to editing and verifying the index to grass species prior to
their being typed. Approximately 40,000 cards, or half the index,
have been completed.
Dr. F. A. McClure, research associate, assembled the materials for a
taxonomic treatment of the bamboos of southern Brazil. Under the
auspices of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, he continued work
on a manual for the field identification of bamboos of the genus
Phyllostachys in cultivation in the United States.
Under a 3-year grant from the National Science Foundation, Mrs.
Walter T. Swingle is collaborating with Dr. McClure in the acquisi-
tion and processing of bamboo literature with special reference to
the documentation and clarification of species.
Ferns.—Curator C. V. Morton continued during the first four
months of the current fiscal year his work in Europe as a Fellow of
the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. During this
period he examined many thousands of sheets of ferns, especially
36 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL. REPORT, 1955
from tropical America, and photographed 8,111 type specimens
and other authentic material. These photographs will form a valu-
able tool for future taxonomic studies. Throughout the work he was
given every facility and encouragement by the staffs of the Muséum
National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, the Rijksherbarium, Leiden, the
British Museum (Natural History), London, the Conservatoire et
Jardin Botaniques, Geneva, the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Stock-
holm, the Staatsinstitut fiir allgemeine Botanik, Hamburg, the Botani-
cal Museum and Herbarium, Copenhagen, the Royal Botanic Gardens,
Kew, the Botanisch Museum, Utrecht, and the Jardin Botanique de
VEtat, Brussels.
Cry ptogams.—Associate Curator Paul Conger continued with his
studies of the diatom flora and ecology of Chincoteague Bay, Md. He
also continued with a monographic study of the important diatom
genus Grammatophora and with the accumulation of notes on ab-
normalities in diatoms. :
Research by visiting investigators.— During May and June, Father
Raulino Reitz of the Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues,” Itajai, Santa
Catarina, Brazil, made intensive studies of the herbarium material
and literature in the department in connection with the preparation
of a flora of the State of Santa Catarina. In October, Miss Nancy
Burbidge of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organization, Canberra, Australia, studied for three weeks on the
identification of introduced grasses in Australia, especially species
of Paspalum. During June, V. D. Zotov, Botany Division, Depart-
ment of Scientific and Industrial Research, Christchurch, New Zea-
land, examined the collections of New Zealand grasses in the her-
barium, especially types, in preparing for a monograph of the family
in New Zealand. Dr. Kittie F. Parker, formerly of the University of
Arizona, continued her research on the western flora and in the family
Compositae. Others who spent short periods at the herbarium were
L. A. Garay, University of Toronto, Arland T. Hotchkiss, University
of Sydney, Australia, J. M. Idrobo, Instituto de Ciencias Naturales,
Bogoté, Colombia, and Antonio Krapovickas, Buenos Aires,
Argentina.
More than 750 persons visited the herbarium, usually seeking
scientific information. The collections of the department continue
to be an important source of reference material for staff members of
other Government agencies, particularly the Department of Agricul-
ture and the Department of the Interior. Thirteen informal loans
with 2,821 specimens were made to local agencies, mostly to the Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 37
Geology
Mineralogy and petrology.—Several collateral problems connected
with the study of the mineralogical nature of Meso-American jade
have occupied the attention of Head Curator W. F. Foshag. One
of these relates to the Aztec stone chalchihuitl, and the identification
of its varieties as defined by the early chroniclers. A study of a newly
discovered occurrence of jadeite in Guatemala has been completed.
It probably was a source of jade for some of the ancient indigenous
cultures of Meso-America. A study of a new mineral species, an
oxychloride of aluminum, from the fumaroles of Paricutin volcano
has been completed. Dr. Foshag continued as president of the Section
of Volcanology, Petrology, and Geochemistry of the American Geo-
physical Union.
A study of the hexahedrite type of meteorites has been undertaken
by Associate Curator EK. P. Henderson to determine accurately their
chemical composition and to compare their metallographic structures
and their accessory minerals with a view to determining if these
meteorites have a common origin. He is also studying the occurrence,
composition, properties, and associations of the accessory mineral
cohenite, an iron carbide, in order to learn if there is any correlation
between its presence and the composition of the meteorite.
Dr. S. H. Perry, associate in mineralogy, at the close of the year
presented to the Museum his library of meteorite publications and the
remainder of his meteorite collection. His large 9-album collection
of photomicrographs of iron meteorite structures, previously presented
to the Museum, will be a source of information for many years to come.
A study of the origin of ore-forming solutions of the Iron Springs
district, Utah, continues to occupy the efforts of Dr. George Switzer,
associate curator, who is working in collaboration with Dr. J. Hoover
Mackin of the U.S. Geological Survey. The results of this investiga-
tion should prove useful in the exploration of these economically
important iron ore deposits and others of a similar nature. An in-
vestigation of the nature of the minerals composing the tests of various
fossil micro-organisms, carried out in collaboration with Dr. A. J.
Boucot of the U. S. Geological Survey, has been completed. Work
has been begun on an investigation of two new mineral species; para-
damite, a zinc arsenate from México; and galeite, a sodium fluoride-
sulfate from California. Dr. Switzer prepares, annually, a review of
the diamond industry, widely used by government agencies, commer-
cial organizations, and others interested in the many phases of the
diamond industry. He also prepares, in collaboration with Mr. R. T.
Thompson of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, the Gem Stone Chapter of
the Minerals Year Book.
38 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955
Dr. John P. Marble, associate in mineralogy, as chairman of the
Committee on the Measurement of Geologic Time, of the National Re-
search Council, prepared the annual summary on the advances in
radiochemistry and geochronology for 1953-1954, including a compre-
hensive annotated bibliography of the works published in these fields
during the year. He also continued as general secretary, and chair-
man of the editorial and publications committee of the American
Geophysical Union, and as official delegate attended the 10th general
assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics at
Rome.
On June 6, 1955, the Department of Geology lost, through death,
the valuable services and stimulating associations of Dr. Marble, who
had. served as research associate in the division of mineralogy and
petrology since 1948.
Invertebrate palentology and paleobotany.—Karly in the year
Curator G. A. Cooper, working in collaboration with Dr. H. M. Muir-
Wood of the British Museum, completed a revision of the genera of
the Productacea, a large group of fossil spiny brachiopods. ‘The work
includes both the taxonomy of the group, and discussions concern-
ing morphological variations, paleoecology, and life habits and proc-
esses. In addition, Dr. Cooper described a collection of brachiopods
from Arizona, a rare occurrence in American Cretaceous rocks.
Work was continued by Dr. Cooper on the description of Permian
brachiopods from Oregon. ‘This fauna is related to the Russian Per-
mian forms, and is new to the United States. In preparation for his
study of the Permian brachiopods of the Glass Mountains of Texas,
considerable time was spent in the sorting and organizing of the ma-
terial obtained by the etching of the silicified forms from limestone
blocks. The superb material recovered will yield much information
on the anatomy of the animals, their life habits, and their ecological
environment.
Associate Curator Alfred R. Loeblich, Jr., and Research Associate
Helen Tappan Loeblich have worked continuously on the Treatise of
Invertebrate Paleontology (Foraminifera), a natural classification of
the Foraminifera based on phylogeny and geological occurrence, with
definitive descriptions of all known genera, each description accom-
panied by precisely executed drawings. About 1,500 genera of smaller
Foraminifera will be included in the work. In addition, they have
published a revision of some Recent foraminiferal genera. Mrs. Loe-
blich has completed studies on Jurassic Foraminifera from Alaska,
and has in preparation a volume on Cretaceous Foraminifera.
Associate Curator David Nicol completed and published an analysis
of the Arctic marine pelecypod fauna and its significance in ecological
interpretation, and is continuing morphological studies of the bizarre
and unusual Paleozoic genus Conocardium.
INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 39
Dr. J. B. Knight, research associate in paleontology, continued work
on the Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology (Gastropoda), a classi-
fication with definitive descriptions and illustrations of all known
genera of Paleozoic gastropods. He was assisted in this by Drs. Roger
Batten and Ellis Yochelson.
The studies of Dr. R. §. Bassler, research associate in paleontology,
on Ordovician cystids have been delayed by a serious accident suffered
by him. His project is almost completed.
Vertebrate paleontology.—Curator C. L. Gazin completed and sub-
mitted for publication a description and taxonomic revision of the
upper Eocene artiodactyls, or even-toed ungulates, of North America.
These include 6 families, 18 genera, and 35 species. It isin the Hocene
epoch that the origins of the artiodactyl families are to be found, and
this study will help to determine the phylogenetic sequences leading to
the better known Oligocene forms. Dr. Gazin also completed his
description of the Paleocene mammalian fauna of the Bison Basin
in Wyoming, a study that yielded 19 new species and 2 new genera.
During the early summer of 1954 Dr. Gazin, accompanied by Mr. F. L.
Pearce, carried on field work in the Paleocene beds of the Bison Basin
of Wyoming, and the lower Eocene Knight formation of the Washakie,
Great Divide, and upper Green River Basins.
Dr. Gazin continued to serve as chairman of the Eocene subcom-
mittee of the committee of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology
preparing a new “Nomenclature and Correlation of the North Ameri-
can Continental Tertiary,” a cooperative project, the results of which
will be published by the Geological Society as a memoir.
Associate Curator D. H. Dunkle, who has been engaged on the plan-
ning of the new exhibition hall of lower vertebrate fossils, made some
progress on his program of research, which includes as its major proj-
ects the detailed study of the fossil fish fauna of the middle Hocene
Green River shales, and the Mesozoic origins of teleostean or common
fishes from holostean, or ray-finned fishes. A description of a remark-
able specimen of a pleuropterygian shark preserved 3-dimensionally in
a phosphate nodule from the upper Devonian Chattanooga shale of
Tennessee was completed in collaboration with Dr. Stuart W. Maher
of the Tennessee Geological Survey. Working in collaboration with
Dr. Bobb Schaeffer he also completed a study of sharks, lung-fishes,
and ray-finned fishes represented in collections from seven new oc-
currences in Brazil.
During the summer of 1954 Dr. Dunkle carried on a search for fossil
fish and reptiles near Paris, Idaho; Cody, Wyo., and Logan and Mon-
ticello, Utah. Later, with Exhibits Worker Donald Guadagni, he
40 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955
explored the Cretaceous chalk beds of Kansas for fine examples of fos-
sil fish and other vertebrate forms suitable for exhibition.
Research by outside investigators——Among investigators other
than those of government agencies, who have assisted the department
of geology with the study of Museum material, and who in turn have
received help from the staff and the collections, are: Dr. T. W.
Amsden, The Johns Hopkins University, who is studying a collection
of Silurian (St. Clair) brachiopods from Arkansas; Dr. Franco
Rasetti, of the same university, who continued his studies of Cam-
brian fossils; Dr. Norman D. Newell, American Museum of Natural
History, who is monographing a large collection of silicified pelecy-
pods from west Texas belonging to the National Museum; Dr. Harry
B. Whittington, Harvard University, who is now busy with studies of
family groups, other than those described in 1954, represented in the
silicified residues from Strasburg, Va.; Drs. Roger Batten and Ellis
Yochelson, who as graduate students of Columbia University collabo-
rated with Dr. Knight on Permian gastropod studies; Dr. Francis G.
Stehli, California Institute of Technology, who is studying some tere-
bratuloid brachiopod collections; Dr. A. K. Miller, University of
Iowa, who is studying the Museum’s large collection of Permian am-
monoids from the Glass Mountains; and Dr. C. O. Dunbar, Yale Uni-
versity, who is studying the fusulines (Foraminifera) from the
Permian of the Glass Mountains, Tex.
The following students of Foraminifera visited and studied at the
Museum: Dr. Cesare Emiliani, University of Chicago; Dr. J. C.
Troelsen, University of Copenhagen; Noel Brown, Jr., Cuban Gulf
Oil Company, Havana, Cuba; Dr. Hans Bolli, Pointe-a-Pierre, Trin-
idad, B. W. I.; Mr. Y. Nagappa, Digboi, Assam, India; Dr. Eugenie
Montanaro-Gallitelli, University of Modena, Italy; Dr. Frank E.
Lozo, Houston, Tex.; and Dr. L. W. LeRoy, Golden, Colo.
Investigators who made use of the vertebrate paleontology collec-
tions during the past year to further their research projects include:
Dr. J. LeRoy Kay, Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, who made ex-
tensive comparisons of his important collection of Green River Eocene
mammals from Utah, with the Museum’s extensive Bridger Hocene
collections from Wyoming; Gordon Edmond, of the Royal Ontario
Museum, who studied and photographed a number of specimens per-
tinent to his investigation of tooth succession in the reptiles; Dr.
John Clark of Princeton University, who reviewed Oligocene and
Miocene artiodactyl] materials and examined the Chadronian mam-
mals in connection with his studies of faunal sequences in the Chadron
formation.
INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 41
Kingineering and Industries
Engineering.—A descriptive account of the history of the develop-
ment of power machinery was prepared by Dr. R. P. Multhauf, asso-
ciate curator, in connection with the design of the power machinery
hall, for use as a guide to this hall. He is engaged in the first stage
of the preparation of a catalog of the metrology collection, and he
collaborated with Museum Aide Don H. Berkebile in research leading
to the design and construction of models of a number of power ma-
chines, plans of which no longer exist. ‘This research thus far has led
to the construction of models of a steam engine of John Fitch and a
boiler of Oliver Evans.
Associate Curator S. H. Oliver’s manuscript, “The First Quarter-
Century of Steam Locomotives in North America: Remaining Relics
and Operable Replicas, with a Catalog of Locomotive Models in the
U.S. National Museum,” was completed in March and submitted for
publication.
Kenneth M. Perry, associate curator of electricity, continued identi-
fying, documenting, and describing the electrical measuring instru-
ments in the Museum collections. A number of the more than 50 such
devices treated during the year represented part of the large collec-
tion recently presented to the Museum by the Western Electrical
Instrument Corp.
Crafis and industries.—Curator William N. Watkins continued his
investigation of woods used in old and rare furniture in an effort to
determine their origins. He assisted Colonial Williamsburg and The
Henry Francis Du Pont Winterthur Museum in their quest for accu-
rate determinations of wood origins, and give similar assistance to the
Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art
Collection, Williamsburg.
In her search for additional unpublished information on the Schol-
field wool carding machine of 1793, Assistant Curator Grace L. Rogers
visited the Baker Library, Harvard University, the Rhode Island His-
torical Society, and old Slater Mill, allin New England, and the Henry
Ford Museum, Dearborn, Mich. Original manuscripts were reviewed
and old company records searched for verification of its history.
Several Scholfield machines examined will be described in the article
on the subject.
Edward C. Kendall, associate curator, investigated the European
origins of 17th- and 18th-century American plow types. Aided by
a generous grant’ from Deere and Company he visited a number of
historical and technical museums in western Europe. His examina-
tion of these collections, particularly in Scandinavia, Holland, Ger-
many, and Great Britain, brought out the fact that American plows
42 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955
in use in the 18th century were distinctively different from their Kuro-
pean counterparts. The information acquired will be presented in
articles on the origin of American plow types, on the Hohenheim plow
model collection, on the original appearance of the John Deere steel
plow of 1837, and on the types of plows used on the Mount Vernon
estate of George Washington.
Medicine and public health.—Curator George B. Griffenhagen com-
pleted his catalog of apothecary shop restorations on exhibition in the
United States. The catalog, which included descriptions of 28 resto-
rations from Massachusetts to California, was published by the Ameri-
can Pharmaceutical Association under the title of “Karly American
Pharmacies,” and was distributed to all members of the American
Institute of the History of Pharmacy. Also completed was a study,
carried on in cooperation with Dr. Waldo Wedel, curator of archeol-
ogy, that commenced as an investigation into the significance of ‘Tur-
lington’s Balsam bottles found in archeological sites in the Dakotas.
One of the early popular patent medicines used in the colonies, Tur-
lington’s Balsam of Life is an outstanding example of the beginnings
of patent medicines in America.
Curator Griffenhagen gave considerable attention to the history
and evolution of pharmaceutical equipment such as the pill machine,
mortar and pestle, pharmaceutical balance, and the drug container.
Few pieces of pharmaceutical equipment have been treated in separate
historical studies such as these, and the project, which will include
a descriptive catalog of the pharmaceutical collections in the division
of medicine and public health and an annotated bibliography, will
provide a much needed reference source to aid in documenting antique
pharmaceutical equipment.
Other research in progress includes a history of the mechanical
heart, being written with the cooperation of Calvin H. Hughes, re-
search biologist at the Research Laboratories Division of General
Motors Corporation, and a study of the medical equipment and sup-
ples of the American Revolutionary Armies, undertaken in coopera-
tion with Robert Davis of the Medical Museum of the Armed Forces
Institute of Pathology.
Graphic aris.—Curator Jacob Kainen continued his study of the
color prints of John Baptist Jackson, a work that will trace the
origins of color printing in the 18th century and will emphasize
Jackson’s importance as an artist and color printer. It will also pro-
vide a complete descriptive catalog of his work to replace the incom-
plete standard catalog published in 1856.
Mr. Kainen also continued his research into the origins and develop-
ment of photomechanical processes, a study intended to provide a
single reference work for the diverse and complicated history of half-
tone printing.
INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH 43
Alexander J. Wedderburn, associate curator, completed a study of
a hitherto unknown intermittent movement for motion picture pro-
jectors invented by Thomas Armat, noted for his inventions in this
field. Mr. Wedderburn interviewed members of the inventor’s family
and a machinist closely associated with Armat during the period in
which he made his intermittent movement devices. The study is
scheduled for publication in the Journal of the Society of Motion
Picture and Television Engineers. He continued work on his history
of the camera and served as consultant to the Navy Department in the
preparation of a script for a film on the origins of the motion picture.
Research by outside investigators.—In increasing numbers, outside
investigators used the collections and called upon the staff for assist-
ance on a wide variety of subjects, as shown by these examples.
Ruth Laudlu, textile designer and weaver, Oslo, Norway, studied
the textile collection, especially examples of early American designs.
Margaret Stratton, Russellville, Ky., is assisting Miss Rogers in locat-
ing information on a quilted counterpane received by the Museum
several years ago.
K. Ramesh Rao, assistant wood technologist, Forest Research In-
stitute, Dehra Dun, India, investigated the cataloging system, study
collection, and exhibition hall of the section of wood technology and
discussed future exchanges and mutual assistance. Professor Weifang
Chu, Forestry College, National Taiwan University, Formosa, pres-
ently at the College of Forestry, State University of New York,
completing a study of the woods of the Coniferae, examined the
Museum collection of woods.
Assistance was given George Bender, editor, and Robert Thom,
artist, of Parke, Davis and Company, in their research associated with
the History of Pharmacy in Pictures; the Armed Forces Medical
Library for their “Exhibit of the Month”; Professor Harvey Young
of Emory University, on the development of patent medicines in
America; and Dr. Philip V. Hammond of Howard University, who
presented a paper before the Plant Science Seminar on the national]
materia-medica collection at the U. S. National Museum.
Jay E. Gordon, of the Naval Photographic Center, and James H.
Culver, of the Library of Congress, made studies of the photographic
collections in connection with an official Navy film; Edmond Archer
of the Corcoran School of Art was assisted in research concerning
the camera obscura and its possible use by the 17th century Dutch
painter Vermeer, and Col. Willard Webb, Library of Congress, was
assisted in preparing material for a television show concerning the
history of photography.
44 U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955
History
Mendel L. Peterson, curator of military and naval history, con-
tinued his field investigation in the Florida Straits area during the
months of May and June. His work, carried on under the sponsor-
ship of Mr. Edwin A. Link on board the vessel The Sea Diver, this
year fell into two categories: investigation of Spanish wreck sites on
Silver Bank, and retracing the possible route taken by Columbus in
the Bahamas during his first voyage to America.
His study in the markings and decoration of museum cannon was
continued. During the year he photographed and measured cannon
at Baltimore and Annapolis, Md.; Nassau, Bahamas; Grand Turk
Island; Le Citadelle and Port-au-Prince, Haiti; and Havana, Cuba.
Margaret W. Brown, associate curator of civil history, prepared a
booklet on The First Ladies Hall which was published for the open-
ing of the hall. Her illustrated description of the gown of Mrs.
Harry S. Truman was published as a supplement to her “Dresses of
the First Ladies of the White House.”
Curator of Numismatics Stuart Mosher continued his investiga-
tions of American medalists, the works of the die engraver Edward
Stabler, the Hugh Miller collection of Korean charms and amulets,
and the multiple thalers of Brunswick-Luneburg in the Paul A.
