ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR.
1915

To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History:

I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum
for the year ending December 31, 109015.

Pursuing the announced policy of the Museum, its efforts during
the year have continued to concentrate upon the preparation for ex-
hibition in the new Museum building of such material as had been
previously acquired. This material is of a character that when properly
installed will fit into the general exhibition scheme which has been based
fully as much upon material in storage as material in cases. Therefore
the progress that has marked the period of this report has been largely
due to the labors of the preparators, the taxidermists and the skilled
workmen, and no particular effort has been made to acquire new mate-
rial either by expedition or purchase. Later it is expected that some
elimination of early work and imperfect material will take place.

The contract between the South Park Commissioners and the Mu-
seum corporation, granting a site for the new building near and south of
Twelfth street extended in an easterly direction, was consummated on
January 27th. The work upon the new Museum building, actually
commenced on July 26th, has progressed with such vigor that the date
on which the edifice will be ready for occupation has been considerably
advanced. The impetus given to the building operations has had its
influence during the past four months upon the scientific staff, and plans
for installation, the system of transfer, the arrangements of the halls,
offices, laboratories, work rooms, shops, etc., have received much at-
tention on the part of the curators and their assistants. It is not con-
sidered necessary, if pertinent, to discuss the progress of the new build-
ing in these reports, in as much as the entire work and its responsibil-
ities rests upon and within the Building Committee, but, as items of
history in the development of the Museum as a whole, simple record of
the work is considered permissible. The Board of Trustees has granted
the request of the Chicago Geographic Society for permanent quarters
in the new Museum building.

The report of the expert from Graham, Burnham & Company, who
examined the present Museum building, indicates that the physical

5

6 FieLD Museum oF NATURAL History — REpPorts, VOL. V.

condition of the structure is safe and stable. A thorough examination
of the present building was also made by expert inspectors to examine
the fire conditions and the protection and equipment for the prevention
and extinguishing of fires, who report that a high degree of precau-
tion is exercised insofar as fire hazard in the building was concerned
and that the protection was good and well maintained. ‘Three minor
defects in the system were noted and the recommendations to remedy
these have been carried out.

A committee of citizens interested in the establishment of an aqua-
rium addressed the Board of Trustees to ascertain to what extent the
authorities of the Museum would support the movement and contribute
scientific assistance or control of its management. ‘The response of the
Board was not only in favor of establishing the aquarium, especially if
a location could be obtained in proximity to the new Museum building,
but the Trustees declared their willingness and their desire to accept
the scientific management of the proposed aquarium.

A review of the acquisitions of the Museum by gift and purchase dur-
ing the past year will demonstrate the increasing wealth of the In-
stitution. Among the gifts may be mentioned many from the ex-
hibiting countries and individuals at the Panama-Pacific International
Exposition. The Museum acquired by purchase some striking and at-
tractive material from the Chinese Government, which had been on
exhibition at San Francisco. Other interesting material not costly but
unusual and desirable was also purchased. Special mention should be
made of the gift of Mr. Fritz von Frantzius, consisting of two Imperial
Chinese Jade books and a collection of Japanese coins.

The resignation of Dr. George A. Dorsey, Curator of the Department
of Anthropology, after twenty years service with the Institution,
created a vacancy which was filled by the appointment of Dr. Berthold
Laufer as Curator of the Department. Dr. Laufer was formerly the
Associate Curator of Asiatic Ethnology and, during the year Dr.
Dorsey was absent in the Orient, assumed the duties of Acting Curator.
His extensive and varied experience in scientific research and investiga-
tion has specially qualified Dr. Laufer for the position to which he
has been appointed. He has conducted expeditions into eastern Siberia
for exploration of the ethnology of native tribes and to Tibet and China
for culture-historical investigations and ethnological collections; was
assistant curator of ethnology at the American Museum of Natural
History; lecturer in anthropology and East-Asiatic languages at Colum-
bia University, and is the author of many important books and papers
relating to the ethnology, archaeology and philology of the East.

With funds contributed by Mr. Norman W. Harris an attractive and

JAN., 1916. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. ”

instructive exhibit of the Harris Public School Extension cases was made
at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The exhibit excited
considerable interest and much favorable comment on the part of visitors
at the Exposition and was the means of inaugurating serious considera-
tion of the adoption of this system of education both in foreign coun-
tries and in other cities of the United States. The Japanese government
asked for type cases for the information of the Imperial Department of
Education. The exhibit was awarded a grand prize by the International
Jury.

During the year Mr. Chauncey Keep became a Corporate Member of
the Museum and was also elected a member of the Board of Trustees
to fill a vacancy in the Board.

The following elections of honorary positions in connection with the
Institution have been made during the past year. Mr. Fritz von
Frantzius and Mr. Henry J. Patten were elected Life Members. Chiefly
in recognition for their support and services in affairs of the site for the
new building, Mr. Charles L. Hutchinson, Mr. Edward B. Butler, and
Mr. Charles H. Markham were elected Patrons of the Museum. Mr.
Albert M. Collins of Philadelphia and Mr. Lee Garnett Day of New
York were elected Patrons of the Museum in view of the eminent ser-
vices they have rendered to the Institution.

Mr. Norman B. Ream, who has been a member of the Board of
Trustees from its organization, but who during recent years has resided
in New York, died on February 9, 1915. The death of Dr. Daniel
Giraud Elliot, which occurred on December 22nd, a prominent man in
science, who resigned from the staff of the Museum after twelve years of
service as Curator of the Department of Zoology, has to be recorded.
Prof. Frederick Ward Putnam, formerly professor of American archae-
ology and ethnology at Harvard University and curator of the Peabody
Museum, and a Patron of Field Museum of Natural History since
January 31, 1898, died at Cambridge on August 14th. Mr. Robert F.
Cummings, an Honorary Member of the Museum, who provided liberal
funds for expeditions, for surveys and collections in the Philippine
Islands and whose generosity has permitted the Museum to bring
together a very extensive and attractive Philippine ethnology exhibit,
died on December 31, 1914.

MAINTENANCE. — The budget approved by the Board of Trustees
provided the sum of $144,050 for the maintenance of the Museum for
the fiscal year. The actual amount expended was $124,185, leaving
a balance within the anticipated expense for the year of approximately
$19,000. In addition to the cost of maintenance sums were expended
for collections, new installation and expeditions that brought the total

ais FreLD MusEum or NaturAL History — REports, VOL. V.

to $181,000. As will be observed from the details of the financial

statement the sum of $7,075, representing individual contributions,

has also been disbursed for special collections and expeditions.

PuBLICATIONS.— Six publications were issued during the year, com-

prising parts of five volumes, details of which follow:

_ Notwithstanding the small number of serial publications received
from foreign exchanging. institutions, there is a slight increase over the
books and pamphlets received during the previous year. Among the
gifts of the year is the sumptuous edition of Japanese Templesand Treas-
ures in three illustrated volumes presented by His Imperial Majesty’s
Commissioner General to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
The edition is limited to two hundred copies and was especially prepared
for the Exposition. Through the Minister of International Affairs,
Wellington, New Zealand, a copy of the Illustrated Flora of New Zealand

10 ©60©.: Fretp Museum oF NAturAL History — Reports, Vo. V.

was received. An almost complete set of its Transactions was presented
by the South Australia Royal Society, Adelaide. The Société des
Sciences Naturalles, La Rochelle, France, presented a complete set to
date of its Annales and the Archeological Survey of India eleven of its
early Reports to assist in completing the Museum file. Other gifts
that have been received are listed elsewhere. The late Dr. Seth E.
Meek’s ichthyological library, consisting largely of monographic papers
and pamphlets, was purchased and from it 2,000 new titles were se-
cured. These have been catalogued and bound. Other important
acquisitions by purchase were: The Oxford English Dictionary; Aude-
bert, Histoire Naturelle des Singes et Makis, 1800; Berthelot et Ruelle,
Collection des Anciens Alchimistes Grecs; Hobson, Chinese Pottery and
Porcelain; sets to date of the Journal of Indian Art Ornithologische
Monatsberichte and The Zoologische Annalen.

The number of periodicals received was ninety-nine with twenty-
two in subscription sets which have been previously entered. There
were bound during the year 564 books, pamphlets and serial publica-
tions, and 19,275 cards were written and added to the catalogues.
Twelve installments of the John Crerar Library cards have been re-
ceived and added to its catalogue.

There was an increasing number of students and other visitors who
found the library of service in seeking volumes not obtainable in other
libraries in the city. A rearrangement of the book cases in the reading
room was made during the year that rendered the books more accessible
and improved its general appearance.

DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LABELING. — The work of
cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology during the year
is quite notable, 10,062 cards having been written. The cards are
distributed over the divisions as follows: 975 North American, chiefly
Hopi ethnology; 3,071 Melanesian ethnology; 5,027 New Guinea, col-
lections by Umlauff, Voogdt and Dorsey; 932 Asiatic ethnology; and
57 classical archeology. These cards have been entered in the in-
ventory books of the Department, which now number 38, and the total
number of cards recorded beginning from the first volume is 139,516.
During the year the Department was supplied with 2,664 printed labels,
which have been distributed as follows: 720 Physical Anthropology;
1,250 Mrs. T. B. Blackstone Collection; 52 Models of Chinese Boats;
373 Joseph N. Field Collection; 12 Edward E. Ayer Philippine Guns;
249 Classical Archeology; and 8 objects in the Gem Room. From the
section of Photography the Department has received 1,310 prints, which
have been duly classified and added to the departmental albums, each
print having received a typewritten description. Three albums re-

lating to New Guinea were prepared. A catalogue of lantern-slides
was inaugurated by the Department, for which 1,537 cards have been
written. The slides have been arranged in the succession of the num-
bers and placed in cardboard boxes with a label pasted in front, showing
the range of the numbers, subject, and locality of the slides. By con-
sulting the card-catalogue it is possible to locate any slide or to ascertain
what slides relate to a particular subject, region, or tribe. To meet
the demand of the public for information on specimens in the collec-
tions and as copies of many labels have been solicited by students, a
permanent record of all labels written for the Department has been
established. When printing labels intended for installation, copies
are made, which are mounted on cardboard, and classified according
to the cases in which the specimens are installed. These cards,
620 of which have thus far been prepared, are filed in proper order
in cabinets showing identification labels on the outside. A card-
catalogue of the exhibition cases, which have all been provided with
numbers, has also been inaugurated.

All material received by the Department of Botany during the year
has been fully catalogued and distributed, either into installation or
classified and placed ready for installation. There were catalogued
19,831 sheets of specimens and 20,305 entries have been made, making
the total number of entries 432,791.

Cataloguing of all specimens in the Department of Geology is com-
plete, specimens received during the year being catalogued as received.
Of the specimens catalogued 2,860 were paleontological specimens; 286
economic specimens; 102 mineralogical specimens and 118 miscellane-
ous, making a total of 3,366. Labels prepared numbered 660, of
which 309 were printed and distributed. Among the collections which
were labeled entire were those of the folklore of gems, Pleistocene
fossils, coal tar products, and others of the economic series. Among
these were several large, descriptive labels. To the Departmental
photograph albums 63 prints have been added, making a total of 2,748
prints now in these albums.

In the Department of Zoology 1,793 entries in the primary catalogue
for birds and mammals have been made. ‘The systematic card cata-
logues have received more than usual revision and additions. The col-
lection of mammalsin alcohol, principally bats, has been provided with
617 new labels. 1,524 labels for shells have also been written, of which
1,253 were installed.

Accessions.— The number of accessions in the Department of
Anthropology amounted to 31 during the year, of which 27 have been
entered. The majority of these were received through the generosity
of friends of the Institution. Mr. Edward E. Ayer presented several
gifts of scientific importance. ‘These include four brass guns (so-called
lantaka) captured from the Moro on the Philippine Islands and pre-
sumably cast by Chinese in the eighteenth century; a collection of 161
chipped stone (mostly obsidian) projectile points from Upper Lake,
Lake County, California, comprising a large variety of types; 19 mini-
ature Pomo baskets from California, of striking technique and variety
of form and weave; and an interesting collection of beadsand perforated _
shells discovered in a grave with two skeletons, excavated at Lead-
better Landing, Benton County, Tennessee. A group of 20 tear bottles
from Egypt, found in Venice by Mr. Ayer during his travels, was pur-
chased by the Museum. A Roman lamp, unearthed in Transylvania,
Hungary, was received as a gift from Mr. William J. Chalmers. The
East-Asiatic collections have been enriched by several important gifts.
Prominent among these are a complete jade book and a jade seal, both
being treasures from imperial possession, presented by Mr. Fritz von
Frantzius. The jade book is unique inasmuch as it is complete with
the original binding in yellow silk brocade and in perfect condition. It
consists of ten rectangular slabs carved from exquisite Khotan nephrite
(thirty pounds in weight), and is inscribed with a composition in Chinese
and Manchu of the famous Emperor K‘ang-hi in 1688; when he canonized
his grandmother, the Empress Wen, and conferred upon her a posthu-
mous title. The seal, 634 pounds in weight, a masterpiece of carving, as
recorded by the inscription, was bestowed upon the Empress Jui on
February 12, 1796, the day when she was officially appointed Empress of
China. A description of these memorable objects has been published
in the June number of the Fine Arts Journal. Mr. von Frantzius has

likewise donated a very instructive collection of Japanese coins and paper
money, numbering about 800 specimens, brought together by order of
the Japanese Government, and a fine Chinese gold ring decorated with

debted for a very remarkable Chinese rosary of a hundred beads carved
from exquisite dark-red Burmese amber, and in all probability manu-
factured in the imperial atelier. An interesting collection of Pompeiian
antiquities was purchased by the Museum. It represents a valuable ad-
dition to the Pompeiian material and very well illustrates the agricultural
phase and every-day life of the people in southern Italy toward the
end of the first century. A Persian chain mail, acquired in Tiflis,
was secured by purchase. The most important purchase of the year
is represented by the models of Chinese pagodas and the wood-carved
gateway made by the Orphan School of the celebrated Jesuit institu-
tion in Sikkawai near Shanghai and secured at the Panama-Pacific
. Exposition of San Francisco. The purchase of a small collection of
incised pottery dug from shell-heaps in Walton County, Florida, is a
welcome addition to the small quantity of material possessed by the
Museum from this region. With funds provided by Mr. Homer E.
Sargent, Mr. Cyrus H. McCormick and Mr. Martin A. Ryerson, a col-
lection consisting of approximately one thousand objects, illustrating
textiles, costume, jewelry, brass and bidri ware, religious images, and
ivory carving, was secured by Dr. George A. Dorsey in India. This
collection also includes an interesting series of miniature painting
and notable old wood-carvings originating from a Jaina temple. Al-
together it denotes a hopeful beginning in the direction of a collection
representative of the high civilization of India and augurs well for the
large opportunities offered in this immense field in which work on ex-
tensive lines may well be continued.

There were added to the Department of Botany during the year
19,831 Sheets of herbarium specimens, comprising in part the following
interesting and valuable series: Baker & Huber, Brazil 60; Botanical

The most important accession in the Department of Geology was the
gift of a large quantity of specimens of the fossil skeletons found in the
asphalt beds of Los Angeles, California. This large collection was
presented through the kindness of Mr. Edward E. Ayer, Mr. E. B.
Butler, Mr. W. R. Linn, and Mr. Martin A. Ryerson. Among the 1m-
portant features of the collection was a complete mounted skeleton of
the sabre-tooth tiger. This forms a striking and valuable addition to
the series of fossils. An additional skeleton of this tiger, incomplete
but mountable, was also included in the collection. An incomplete
but mountable skeleton of the fossil wolf of the Los Angeles locality
and in addition six good skulls and twelve lower jaws of the animal
were also received. The large, extinct sloth found at this locality
was represented by a skull nearly two feet in length, also by teeth
and parts of lower jaws and some of the peculiar leg bones and claws of
the animal. These will furnish a mounted limb. A large fossil lion
of the locality, about twice as large as the largest African lion, is repre-
sented by several bones; a large camel, one-half larger than the largest
modern camel, is represented by vertebrae and some other bones; and
the native horse is represented by leg bones and teeth. There are also
contained in the collection parts of four bird skulls, leg bones and claws,
and probably one mountable foot. Some of these bones show birds
of unusually large size. Bones of the mammoth and bison, the latter
including one good bison skull, were also comprised in the collection. In
addition a large quantity of miscellaneous bones of various species was
included which will be valuable for purposes of comparison and pos-
sibly for completing skeletons. ‘Two meteoric stones of the fall which
occurred at Blanket, Texas, May 30, 1909, were presented through the
kindness of Mr. Stanley Field and Mr. Arthur B. Jones. These stones
represent all the known material of this fall and make a valuable
addition to the meteorite collection. About 60 specimens of min-
erals and ores were presented by Mr. W. J. Chalmers. This series in-
cluded a number of specimens of gold ores showing free gold, specimens
of native silver, agate, turquoise and other valuable minerals. Fifteen
specimens of jasper and moss agate, presented by Mr. J. H. Mosher of

18 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — REports, VoL. V.

Glendive, Montana, and several additional specimens of moss agate
showing remarkable imitative landscape effects, loaned by him, furnish
excellent specimens of a remarkable occurrence of this mineral. Mr.
Fred Pattee contributed a number of specimens of ores and industrial
minerals from various western localities. These gifts included ores of
copper and vanadium, also specimens of phosphates, asbestos and barite.
An interesting series of copper ores showing stages of replacement of
hornblende by copper minerals was presented by Dr. F. C. Nicholas,
also a valuable specimen of tungsten ore. A striking and valuable
specimen of gold ore from the Smuggler-Union mine, Colorado, was
presented by Mr. T. S. Chalmers. The India Geological Survey pre-
sented several specimens of Indian laterite, thus securing a representa-
tion of this peculiar mineral which had not hitherto been possessed.
The representation of the Los Angeles fossil fauna was increased by
the gift of 532 specimens by Dr. William Bebb. ‘These specimens
included several hundred bones of Smilodon, a large number of
bones of the fossil wolf and some of the fossil horse, sloth and bison.
The Colorado-Yule Marble Company presented six full-sized slabs
showing the varieties of marble obtained at its quarries. The col-
lection of fuller’s earths and barites which had hitherto been
quite incomplete, was increased by the gift of specimens from several
firms producing these substances. Of these, fuller’s earths were pre-
sented by the Manatee Fuller’s Earth Corporation, the Floridin Com-
pany, J. E. and R. M. Farnsworth and the Lester Clay Company; and
barite was presented by the Cherokee Chemical Company, Durex
Chemical Works, Krebs Pigment and Chemical Company, and Thomp-
son, Weinman and Company. Mr. H. R. Wood, the producer, pre-
sented four specimens of tungsten ore from Arizona, and C. K. Williams
and Company three specimens of crude and ground tale. Nine speci-
mens of iron ore from the unusual deposits that occur at Mayville,
Wisconsin, were presented by Mr. E. S. O’Connor. Mr. Max Ziege
presented 33 specimens of ores from the Ruby Mountain District,
Nevada, which included copper, antimony and silver ores and accom-
panying rocks. Exchanges made with several individuals and institutions
resulted in adding desirable material. The most important accession re-
ceived in this way was obtained from the Deseret Museum, Salt Lake
City, Utah, and consisted of fifteen specimens of the products of the
Great Salt Lake, Utah, and fifteen brilliant and rare specimens of
crystallized pyrite and tetrahedrite from Bingham, Utah. The Salt
Lake products included brines, calcareous odlite, mirabilite and various
forms of common salt, all obtained from the waters of the lake. A slab
of the Big Skookum meteorite was obtained by partial exchange with

the Foote Mineral Company. From Mr. H. B. Derr were obtained 37
specimens of analyzed soils, besides limestones and clays from various
localities in Missouri. From Mr. William Foshag were obtained by
exchange eight specimens of rare California minerals, and from Mr. E.
G. Norton three specimens of crystallized calaverite from Cripple
Creek, Colorado. The principal accession by purchase was a number
of specimens of the rare Carboniferous crinoid Phalocrinus, which had
not previously been represented in the collections. Specimens of tracks
of a Carboniferous batrachian were included in the same accession.

In the Department of Zoology the number of accessions during the
year were as follows: Birds 143; mammals 16; fishes 276; insects 923;
and shells 432. Of these, 125 of the birds were an important purchase
of Dutch Guiana birds from Mr. Penard; 152 Nicaraguan butterflies
were obtained from Senor Dion. Chaves of Managua; 24 species of sphinx
moths were presented to the Museum by Mr. B. Preston Clark of Bos-
ton, these with one or two exceptions being new to the Museum collec-
tion and some of them very rare; also 116 Bolivian insects secured by the
Collins and Day expedition to South America. There was obtained
by purchase a very interesting abnormal form of Helicontus doris viridis.
Of the 276 fishesadded to the collection 265 were the gift of Dr. C. Eigen-
mann and were desirable acquisitions. Of the 432 shells received, 255
from southwestern United States were the gift of Mr. R. C. Orcutt; 52
specimens from the Museum’s South American Expedition, and 117 from
the Joseph N. Field South Sea Islands Expedition.

EXPEDITIONS AND FIELD WorK-——Dr. George A. Dorsey, to whom leave of
absence had been granted for a visit to the Orient, availed himself of the
opportunity of his sojourn in India to acquire an ethnological collection
for the Museum with funds provided through the generosity of Mr.
Homer E. Sargent, Mr. Cyrus H. McCormick and Mr. Martin A.

a Ryerson. A description of the collection appears elsewhere in this re-

port.

The discontinuance of the regular zoological expedition to South
America was compensated for by participation in an expedition
known as the Collins-Day South American Expedition, organized and
financed by Mr. Alfred M. Collins of Philadelphia and Mr. Lee Garnett
Day of New York City. This expedition included besides Mr. Collins
and Mr. Day and their associate, Mr. W. T. Walker, two zoological
collectors, one, Mr. R. H. Becker, representing the Museum, and the
other, Mr. G. K. Cherrie, representing the American Museum of Nat-
ural History of New York. The entire expenses and salaries of the
collectors were generously defrayed by Mr. Collins and Mr. Day and
every opportunity was afforded for work with the result that, despite a

20 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V.

rainy season and a limited amount of time, some 1,300 specimens of
birds and mammals were secured. By special agreement these will be
divided equally between the two Museums. ‘The expedition sailed from
New York December 26, 1914, and proceeded via Panama to Mollendo,
Peru. From there a short trip was made to the highlands near Lake
Titicaca and specimens were obtained of the larger mammals of the
region, especially the guanaco or wild llama, and the vicufia. It is of
great interest to note, as illustrating the scant means available for study-
ing South American animals, that these vicufias were the first to be
brought to a North American Museum, notwithstanding the fact that
the species is of relatively large size and of great economic importance.
The expedition continued through the Andes to Cochabamba, Bolivia.
From Cochabamba it was decided to descend to the Madeira River and
the Amazon by way of the Chapare and Mamore rivers instead of by the
more frequented route via the Beni River. The difficult journey was
made with a train of twenty-four pack mules at considerable expense
of time, money and personal hardship. ‘The remainder of the trip was by
canoe and small steamer to the Madeira-Mamore railroad by which
the rapids of the Madeira were passed and thence to the Amazon at
Manaos where steamships of good size were available. The collection of
mammals secured by the expedition has not yet been studied and the
specimens of birds, which will ultimately come to this Museum, have
not been received. In September and October, Taxidermist Friesser
made a successful expedition to the Olympic Mountains of the State of
Washington, where, through the courtesy of state officials, he was permit-
ted to obtain fine specimens of the Olympic or Roosevelt Elk. These
and the accessory material secured at the same time will be used for a
large group of these animals, which has long been planned and for which
a striking background has already been painted.

INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT. —— Lhe work

and efficiency of the Department of Anthropology in matters of installa-
tion have been fully maintained during the year. A total of 68 new
cases have been placed on permanent exhibition, many of these being
completely labeled. The material installed in these cases is distributed
as follows: Classical archeology 6 cases; Hopi ethnology 10 cases;
Tibetan ethnology 18 cases; Chinese ethnology 8 cases; Chinese archz-

ology 11 cases; Japanese ethnology 1 case; New Caledonian ethnology
8 cases; Philippine ethnology 1 case; and Solomon Islands ethnology
5 cases. The 31 cases on the gallery relating to physical anthropology
were relabeled and reinstalled; work on the cataloguing of the main col-
lections in physical anthropology has likewise been commenced. Hall 49
has been installed with exhibits of the Mrs. T. B. Blackstone Expedi-
tion to Tibet. One group of the displays illustrates the life of the nomadic
tribes of eastern Tibet, their saddlery and other means of transportation,
utilization of skins, leather, and yak-hair weavings. A large coracle,
the only type of boat used in Tibet, is a notable feature in these ex-
hibits. For comparative study, Chinese saddlery is likewise shown in
this section on the dummy of a horse, which is equipped with full har-
ness. Another group of Tibetan exhibits, consisting of 7 cases, illus-
trates the manufacture of textiles, the process of weaving being shown
by several looms, as well as the style and wear of costume. Sixteen life-
size figures have been prepared with much care for faithfulness of all
characteristic features. They are completely dressed in native style,
even as regards the hair and hair-dressing procured in Tibet, and are
thoroughly representative of the manifold tribes of central, eastern, and
northeastern Tibet. A model of a woman from central Tibet is shown
in festive attire complete with all jewelry. Special emphasis is laid
upon the difference between the pastoral and sedentary or agricultural
tribes, and upon the influence exerted upon Tibetan culture by China.
In addition to the costumed figures, nine articles of clothing are exhibi-
ted on dummies, also many specimens of woollen and hempen fabrics.
Jewelry from Tibet and China, formerly deposited in Higinbotham
Hall, is now installed in three standard cases on slanting shelves cov-
ered with black velvet. The installation is well provided with photo-
graphs depicting the wearing of the jewelry. This installation presented
technical difficulties of great complexity, all of which have been over-
come. In December the three jewelry cases, also one from Hall
54, were moved to alcoves 121 and 122, North Court. Two cases
containing Tibetan religious paintings were installed in Hall 49. The
Chinese bronzes temporarily placed in the North Court were trans-
ferred to the East Annex and permanently installed in standard
cases. They now occupy altogether eleven cases, and are arranged in
strictly chronological order. In consequence of this addition, a re-
organization of the Chinese Halls became necessary. The paintings
were removed from Hall 43 and 44 to Hall 47 and replaced by nine cases
of bronze. For technical reasons two cases of bronze have to remain
in Hall 49. The interesting and instructive models of boats and palan-
quins, acquired at the World’s Columbian Exposition, were permanently

22 Fretp Museum or NATURAL History — REports, VOL. V.

installed in two standard cases placed in Hall 53, each model being pro-
vided with a descriptive label. The imperial jade book and jade seal
presented by Mr. von Frantzius are temporarily installed in Hall 45,
in such a manner that they can be freely viewed from all sides. The
two detached jade tablets purchased a year ago were added to these
exhibits. A special case was constructed for the large brass temple-
lamp from India, secured during the time of the Columbian Exposition.
The Japanese tapestry, formerly in Hall 31, was moved to Hall 56 into
its appropriate surroundings. Mr. Ayer’s gift of four Moro guns
necessitated the reinstallation of two cases containing Moro armor.
The New Caledonian collection, installed in eight cases by Assistant
Curator Lewis, is especially interesting for its rare old masks and fine
assortment of weapons, notably the stone-headed clubs, one of which is
said to be the largest in existence, and was the property of one of the
famous chiefs in New Caledonia. Other objects of significance are the
house-posts and ornaments, native money, and the old-style clothing
and ornaments, especially the green-stone necklaces representing the
most highly prized treasures of a New-Caledonian woman. Five cases
containing material from the Solomon Islands were also installed. The
installation of the Stanley McCormick Hopi Collections has progressed
satisfactorily, ten cases having been completed. Five of these cases
comprise 150 masks and head-dresses, shown upon freshly painted
plaster busts, in their proper groupings and sequence. ‘Three cases
are filled with modern domestic pottery, two of unpainted, one of
painted ware, in their groupings, as recognized by the Hopi themselves.
The series of fifty objects showing the manufacture of pottery is very
complete and instructive. One case includes rattles of every type,
in fact, all musical instruments used by the Hopi, except drums. In
another case are displayed the rabbit sticks, raw skins, and the rabbit-
skin robes which are purely woman’s work, no man being allowed to be
present during their making. In the North Court, three cases have
been installed; namely one of Etruscan Bucchero ware variously
decorated, another of vessels with red designs on black ground.
The third is occupied by bronzes which include the two cistas pur-
chased last year, all being obtained through the efforts of Mr. Ayer.
These cases, newly installed, necessitated some rearrangement in
which the two candelabra cases and one of bronze pails were moved
to the east line of cases in the Court where the three cases of Irish
art-work have stood for years. These had been placed previously in
alcoves 121 and 122. Miéinor transfers of material have also been made
in this Court. ‘The two cases containing antique glass in the North
Court have been reinstalled upon a new principle of open shelving

JAN., 1916. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 23

which fully exhibits the beauty of form, wonderful colors, and _ iri-
descence of these specimens. The Pompetian collection secured by
the Director in San Francisco is temporarily installed in a hanging
wall-case in alcove 121, North Court, and is completely labeled. When
alcove 120 was vacated to make room for exhibits of the N. W. Harris
Public School Extension, the Roman mills, braziers, and other objects
were rearranged in the Court as best as its crowded condition would
permit. <A portion of the ethnological material obtained by Dr. Dorsey
in India through the liberality of Messrs. Homer E. Sargent, Cyrus H.
McCormick, and Martin A. Ryerson, has been placed temporarily in
two wall cases in alcove 122. In H. N. Higinbotham Hall there
have been some changes in installation as well as rearrangement.
Hanging-cases 21 and 22, on the South Wall, were stripped of Algerian
jewelry, and in its stead was placed the Turkish, Armenian, Syrian,
and Arabian jewelry, formerly in case 17, along with the Bulgarian
jewelry from case 19. In the vacated space in case 19 were temporarily
placed Tibetan charm-boxes and earrings. Tibetan jewelry, consisting
of rings, bracelets, and hairpins, was also transferred from case 20 to
case1g. The Algerian jewelry from cases 21 and 22, along with a more
recent accession of the same material, was installed in the new case on
the East Wall of the hall. Some Colombian gold objects were taken
from the floor of case 24 and placed upon the floor of case 23. When
the Tibetan jewelry was removed from cases 19 and 20 for permanent
installation in Hall 49, a reinstallation of case 20 was made necessary.
This installation brought about some rearrangement of cases, Nos. 17
and 18 being moved from the East Wall to the North Wall, bringing
all the jewelry from India intoasingle group. Case 23 and a new case
were moved into vacated space upon the East Wall. Since Hall 48,
East Annex, utilized for several years past as a work-room, was needed
for the further exhibition of the Mrs. T. B. Blackstone collections, the
north end of Hall 71 was cleared of all ethnological material stored
there and equipped as a work-room, being in close proximity to the vast
Pacific Island collections yet to be installed and stored in the West An-
nex, there to await removal into the new building. To better condense
the ethnological material in the south end of Hall 71, the Volk collec-
tion and other material intended for exchange, as well as the large
model of the Ruins of Mitla, Mexico, have been placed in Hall 68, now
to be utilized for general storage. Six cases, heavily loaded with storage
material, were taken from Hall 71 and placed in Hall 72 for early in-
stallation. The two cases of stored Australian material now stand in
Hall 80, having been moved there from Hall 72. The drums, previ-
ously stored in Halls 79 and 80, having been shifted to Hall 68; those

two halls, with cases placed to the best advantage, will afford parking
for fifty cases of the Joseph N. Field Melanesian Collections to be in-
stalled. Preservation of material, photographing, and rearrangement
have necessitated work in one hundred cases of the Department during
the year. Hall 48 in the East Annex was originally intended to serve
as a gallery of Chinese painting. In view of the new material expected
soon from San Francisco, however, this plan has been abandoned, and
the hall will be reserved for the reception of the pagodas and other
new acquisitions. The former plaster-room has been divided by a
partition-wall into two rooms.

The Department of Botany has installed 39 new case-units in the
public exhibition series, while 17 others have been reinstalled and aug-
mented with new and interesting material. Of these cases 15 were
added to the Systematic Economic Series; 37 to the North American
Forestry Series; and 4 to General Dendrology. ‘To the North American
Forestry Series monographs of the following trees were added: Red or
Pencil Cedar, Mountain Pine, Pitch Pine, Chestnut Oak, Yellow Locust,
Honey Locust, Cork Elm, Red Spruce, Red Ash, Butternut, Chestnut,
Hop-Hornbeam, Fraser’s Umbrella Tree, Cucumber Tree, Beech,
Sourwood, Yellow Poplar, Pennsylvania Cherry, Fraser’s Fir, Sweet
Buckeye, Black Willow, Sweet Birch and Yellow Birch. To the Den-
drologic Series was added a display, in four cases, of the woods of the
Hawaiian Islands, representing, with fair sized specimens, the trees
of the islands as described in the new work of Mr. Joseph F. Rock.
To the Systematic Economic Series a case was added dsplaying the
fruits, gums, and tan and dye barks belonging to the Combretum and
Mangrove families; one with similar products derived from the Com-
bretum and Spikenard families; two cases devoted to the derivatives
of the Birch family; one to those of the Willow, Myrtle and Walnut
families; two to the Walnut family alone; one additional to the Oak
family; one to the Sapodilla family and one each to the Spurge and the
Daisy families. On account of lack of cases and cramped quarters in
the rooms devoted to the working herbarium, it became necessary to
entirely reorganize the collections during the year. In order that the
material most frequently consulted might be readily accessible the Eura-
sian and African material was removed from the organized herbarium
and placed in a series of metal storage cans racked in the mounting room
on the first gallery; and the West Indian, Central and South American
specimens rearranged in like storage cans racked above the regular
herbarium cases. This divides, temporarily, the organized reference
collection into three parts. In all three the plants are fully arranged in
the order of modern classification. While not so conveniently referable

as when all like material is together, yet the collections are consistently
available, until such time as they can be reassembled in the herbarium
hall of the new Museum building.

In the Department of Geology a complete readjustment of the cases
in Skiff Hall was made in order to give better lighting and group-
ing. Formerly the low cases had been arranged on one side of the
hall and the high cases on the other, but as the amount of light
obtained by this method of arrangement was insufficient, the cases
have now been arranged so as to form a series of alcoves with the
taller cases forming the sides of the alcoves and the lower ones oc-
cupying the center. The lighting by this arrangement is much more
satisfactory. Six of these alcoves were placed on each side of the main
passageway through the hall, the forming of these alcoves having re-
quired the readjustment of 56 cases. From most of these cases it was
also necessary to entirely remove the specimens and reinstall them. In
this connection the opportunity was improved to perfect the order of the
specimens so as to bring related groups as close together as possible. The
exterior woodwork of the cases was also entirely refinished. Space was
found in the cases for several new series, among them being a series of
bonanza silver ores from Mexico and a collection illustrating the nature
and origin of certain ‘“‘porphyry coppers.’ To the rare earths collec-
tion a radiograph was added made by exposing a lead object to the
emanations from carnotite. This was installed with other radium
ores as a means of showing the best method of detecting such ores.
A portion of the collection of gold ores was removed to make room
for a model of a gold mine constructed by the Assistant Curator. This
model represents methods of working a small gold mine of medium rich-
ness in a vertical quartz vein six feet wide. The background and above-
ground scenery were prepared from studies of Arizona landscapes from
photographs made by the Curator. ‘The model occupies a space of four
by three feet with a depth of about six inches. It illustrates a mine
worked by levels connected by a shaft. The ore is represented as a vein
of quartz containing minute particles of free gold. At one side the vein
is represented as intersected by another running from the front to the
back of the model. The ground about this vein is supposed to be looser
than at the side and a different method of timbering is illustrated. To
illustrate the methods of removing the ore several stopes are shown as
well as raises and winzes. Various features of mining equipment are
also represented such as head frames, shaft house, tramways, ore cars,
pump, etc. The scale of the model is five feet to the inch, and pains
were taken to have it represent different features of a well managed
mine as far as possible. In all parts of the economic collections

_

26 Fretp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V.

there has been a constant addition of new material in the form of
single specimens or small groups. Room for these has for the most
part been obtained by withdrawing older specimens from exhibition.
Space for increase in the number of rare earths and tungsten ores
was obtained by withdrawing a portion of the antimony collection
from exhibition. A collection of rocks from German coal fields
which was properly a part of the coal collections not now on
exhibition was withdrawn and the space gained utilized for the dis-
play of three new collections more in harmony with adjacent ex-
hibits. One of these is a collection of fuller’s earths from the most
important American localities; another is a series illustrating the raw
materials, intermediate and final products of Portland cement; and the
third collection is one giving a synopsis of the uses of quartz and quartz
sands. In this collection numerous specimens show the more common
occurrences of quartz; then the grades of quartz used for the more
valuable products, such as prisms, lenses and blown quartz utensils;
and a third section shows specimens of the poorer qualities of quartz
used for more ordinary purposes and sands suited to many special
uses. These collections were installed in Hall 35. By reinstallation
and some crowding of specimens a much enlarged collection of barite
has been accommodated in the space formerly devoted to fewer
specimens of this mineral. To the collection illustrating products
of coal tar, some of the better known medicinal substances made from
it such as phenacitin and acetanilide have been added. In Higin-
botham Hall all the specimens were removed from the four central
gem cases, the cases lined with new white silk and the specimens re-
installed. This work was necessitated by the fact that the old lin-
ings had become worn and faded. New linings were also provided for
the upper parts of these cases and shelves of finished glass supported by
glass pillars were put in place of the rough shelves swinging on chains
which had hitherto been used. A new series of moss agates and
jaspers was installed and some other minor changes were made. In
Alcove 105, leading to Higinbotham Hall, the collection numbering
163 specimens illustrating the varieties and occurrence of amber which
was obtained last year wasinstalled. This collection illustrates different
forms and colors of crude amber, forms and colors of pressed amber or
ambroid, carvings in amber, fossils found in amber, distillation products
of amber, etc. The collection was installed on a series of glass shelves,
each specimen being secured to an individual mahogany stand. In front
of each specimen was placed a label secured by an individual clip. To
the exhibition series of systematic minerals about fifty specimens of
recent accessions were added. The series of Salt Lake products was

JAN., 1916. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 27

installed in a case with other salts in Hall 31. The fossil Carboni-
ferous tree from Michigan obtained from the St. Louis Exposition
was installed in Hall 33 in connection with other fossils from this
period. ‘The series of Carboniferous crinoids and batrachians acquired
during the year was similarly installed. The work of mounting
the invertebrate fossils upon tablets suitable for installation in floor
cases was carried on during the year as opportunity permitted and about
300 specimens were so prepared. Practically all the Pleistocene in-
vertebrate fossils have now been mounted in this way and some other
series have been completed. The Pleistocene fossils prepared were in-
stalled temporarily in a case in Hall 33. Specimens chiefly of Pleisto-
cene and Tertiary invertebrates which had been on exhibition were
removed from two wall cases and the cases placed in position in
Hall 35 to receive the skeleton of the sabre-tooth tiger and other
important specimens of the large collection of vertebrate fossils from
California presented by Messrs. Ayer, Butler, Linn and Ryerson. By
use of these two cases it was possible to place a representative series
of these fossils on exhibition. ‘The specimens installed include a com-
plete mounted skeleton of the sabre-tooth tiger, several skulls of the
same species, several skulls and a large number of bones of the fossil wolf,
skulls and limb bones of the ground sloth, limb bones of the mastodon
and horse, skulls and other bones of the bison, and skulls and other bones
of various vulture-like and other birds. In order to make room for the
additional cases and secure a better grouping of the specimens, some re-
adjustment of the large cases in the Hall was also made. The speci-
mens of fossil elk skull and horns from Palos Park, Illinois, presented
by Mr. H. H. Honink, were also installed in this Hall. In Hall 59 a
disarticulated skeleton of the sabre-tooth tiger was installed in a table-
case, with each bone labeled so that the anatomical features of the
skeleton may be readily studied. In the laboratory of vertebrate
paleontology a model of the jaws of the great Eocene shark Car-
charodon was completed, pains being taken to have the anatomical
details as nearly correct as possible. The jaws, as completed, have
a width of over six feet and an opening of four feet. For the
first row of teeth actual fossil specimens were used and for the suc-
ceeding rows casts of these. The modeling of the lines of the jaw
was based on careful studies of modern sharks. By careful atten-
tion to all these details it is believed that the characters of the
ancient shark jaw are reproduced with great fidelity in this model.
Owing to lack of space the model has not been placed on exhibition but
will be available for the new building. The mounting of the skeleton |
of the sabre-tooth tiger received from California was modified so as to

28 Fre~tp Musrum oF NATuRAL History — REports, VOL. V.

give greater rigidity and a more natural pose and it was placed upon a
new base. A skull and jaws of the Miocene horse, Parahippus, were
prepared for exhibition and the mounting of a skeleton of the Miocene
camel Oxydactylus was nearly completed. The large collection of
fossil bones from the Los Angeles asphalt beds, numbering nearly
3000 Specimens, was taken to Whiting, Indiana, where, through the
courtesy of the Standard Oil Company, complete facilities were pro-
vided for soaking the bones in naphtha and thus dissolving out the
tarry material. This treatment of the specimens was necessary to
avoid the slow exudation of the asphalt which experience had shown
would otherwise occur and cause injury to the interiors of the cases.
The generosity of the Standard Oil Company in this connection is
gratefully acknowledged.

In the Department of Zoology the collection of mammals in alcohol
has been overhauled and fully identified. The collections of birds,
mammals and insects were disinfected. ‘The skins of the large mammals
stored in the basement of the Museum are now reasonably accessible;
only little progress has been made in completing the tanning of such skins
as still remain in a raw state, the skin dresser having been occupied
the greater part of the year on fresh material. ‘Three large groups of
birds, provided by the Stanley Field Ornithology Fund, have been
finished and placed on exhibition. They represent bird life in Tropical
America. (1) Oil birds, Steatornis caripensis. This group shows breed-
ing birds in a cave in which they live, and illustrates a form of bird life
of great interest. The material for the group was secured by the Mu-
seum South American Expedition on the Island of Trinidad in ror.
(2) Group of Screamers and Scarlet Ibis. A striking and instructive
group, also obtained by the Museum Expedition near Lake Maracaibo,
Venezuela. This group contains specimens of both the curious Horned
Screamer and Crested Screamer, together with a number of richly col-
ored Scarlet Ibis, and forms one of the most attractive groups. (3)
Group of American Flamingoes on their breeding ground on the Island
of Great Inagua, Bahama Islands. The group shows 7 adult Flamin-
goes, with their peculiar cone-shaped nests, eggs, and two young birds
in the nest. The painted background shows a continuation of the
“‘rookery”’ which in the Inagua Colony numbered about 1,000 nests.
The painted backgrounds of these groups greatly enhance their educa-
tional value, as the observer is able to become familiar with the natural
environment of the species. During the year the taxidermists have
been engaged in preparing an exhibition group of Alaska Moose,
which is now nearly ready for installation. Considerable preliminary
work has also been done on two other mammal groups, a group of

Olympic Elk and one of the Capybara and Jaguar. A small group
of Thirteen-lined Ground Squirrels or “‘Striped Gophers”? has been
completed and is ready for installation. The exhibition collection
of fishes was increased by the addition of a large sectional case con-
taining on one side two large and eighteen small groups of Florida
fishes, on the other side the same number of groups of fishes from
California, the latter including very fine specimens of Salmon.
A large group of Flying Fish is in course of preparation. The Wild
Turkey group was improved by the substitution of a fine male bird
for the younger one temporarily installed when the group was made.
In the same way a rather small Canada Goose was removed from the
Saskatchewan group and replaced by a fine large old bird. An Asiatic
Elephant and a Giraffe, which through age and imperfection were un-
desirable for exhibition purposes, have been withdrawn and placed in
storage to be sold or exchanged. ‘Throughout the year the reinstalla-
tion of the shell exhibit has been carried on by Assistant Curator Ger-
hard and Preparator Liljeblad. Four of the new A-cases have been
permanently installed, and two more filled temporarily with shells
which were glued on tablets last year. In addition, enough shells have
been remounted to fill three more cases, for two of which labels are
ready. Installing the shells on individual shelves cannot be done so
expeditiously as when the specimens are mounted on tablets, for which
reason the work is consuming more time than was anticipated. In the
division of Osteology 2 skeletons of Porpoise and 7 skulls were degreased
at the Whiting degreasing plant; 8 skeletons of animals were prepared
for the Osteological study collection and 4 skeletons were remounted;
367 skulls were prepared and cleaned for the Systematic study col-
lection.

THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.
—Early in May 1914, Mr. N. W. Harris offered to bear the expense
of an exhibit at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, of a
number of cases, typical of those being circulated among the public
schools of Chicago, under the auspices of The N. W. Harris Public School
Extension of Field Museum of Natural History. This generous offer
was approved by the Director and accepted by the President. The Cu-
rator was instructed to select such types of cases as would illustrate the
nature and character of the work that was being devoted to Museum
Extension. He was also instructed to make arrangements for suitable
and adequate space for exhibiting the cases, to determine the architec-
tural plans for the space, to make all arrangements for packing the cases
and shipping same, and to depart for San Francisco in time to install the
exhibit at the Exposition for the opening day, February 20th. Thirty-

30 «Firtp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V.

four cases of natural history and economic subjects were selected
and exhibited in the Palace of Education of the Exposition. The space
allotted the exhibit, amounting to approximately 1300 square feet,
was favorably and prominently located on three well traveled aisles.
The exhibition of the cases was supplemented by motion pictures,
illustrating the present and future Museum buildings, types of cases on
standards, loading casesin delivery car, car leaving Museum, and arriv-
ing at school unloading cases, reception of cases in classroom, case on
rack in classroom, pupils studying case in classroom and teacher using
case as a means of teaching. These views were prefaced with an in-
troduction on the cause and scope of the Museum Extension. ‘The ex-
hibit and the motion picture theatre were attended daily by large
numbers of visitors, whose interests were manifested in many instances,
by words of commendation for the work that is being carried on, and
praise for the attractive physical features of the cases. Representatives
of foreign and American institutions of learning made repeated care-
ful and thorough examinations of the exhibit and enquiries as to
methods of using the cases in schools. Japan, through its Commissioner
General to the Exposition, requested several cases of economic subjects
be sent to Tokyo for the purpose of studying them, with a view of intro-
ducing similiar cases and the same system in the schools of Japan.
Twenty-five thousand illustrated pamphlets describing in brief the
Museum Extension, were circulated during the exposition period. Five >
thousand cards were mailed to educators of the United States and Canada
inviting them to inspect the Museum exhibit at the Exposition.
Doctor Maria Montessori, internationally known as an educator of
children, said of this exhibit in an unsolicited letter.

“‘T admire very much the way in which nature is interpreted in this
exhibit. The units attract the child’s attention and do not teach errors.

“They truly represent nature. Besides, they have added value of
permitting prolonged observation of the many details which in nature
could only be seen in passing glimpses and to which it would be hard to
attract the child’s attention. The knowledge of these facts observed
in this way makes the future observation of real nature more interesting
to the child.

“TI consider this collection a most desirable contribution to school
work and education generally. I hope that more of these beautiful ex-
hibits may be made.”

In a competitive group this exhibit was awarded the grand prize,
the highest award possible.

Many additional cases of various subjects were prepared during
the year, bringing the total number of cases available for circula-

tion among the schools to about 390. While the weight of the
delivery car is thought to be heavier than necessary, the designing
of the carrying accommodations continues to meet with approval.
It has a capacity of 45 cases. Requests for cases have been
made by schools and community clubs in towns near Chicago.
Delivery of cases was made to about 280 Main Schools. Each of
these schools was provided with no less than 6 cases. The Board of
Education continues to furnish to the classrooms, the standards upon
which the cases are displayed for observation and study.

tion shall, within ninety days from the adoption of these By-Laws, and persons
hereafter chosen as Corporate Members shall, within ninety days of their election,
pay into the treasury the sum of twenty dollars ($20.00) or more. The failure of
any person to make such payment within said time shall, at the option of the Board
of Trustees, be ground for forfeiture of his corporate membership. Corporate

from dues. Annual meetings of said Corporate Members shall be held at the same
place and on the same day that the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees is held.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR.
1916

To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History:

I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum
for the year ending December 31, 1916.

The year has been profitable in accessions of material notwith-
standing there have been no expeditions or field work except of a local
and unimportant character. More or less confusion is observable
throughout the Museum by reason of the prosecution of the large work
of installing new material and re-installing old material and selecting
material from storage for display, all occasioned by the labor constantly
going on in preparation for the exhibition halls of the new Museum
building. In fact, the justifiable pride taken in the orderly, system-
atic and classified arrangement of the public courts and halls of the
Museum is rapidly disappearing in the face of the over-crowded condi-
tion and shifting about of cases in preparation necessary to the consum-
mation of the ambitious plans of the occupation of the new Grant
Park structure.

Mr. George F. Porter, Trustee, has resigned his place upon the
Board because of his intended protracted absence from the city. The
vacancy has been filled by the election of Mr. Henry Field, second
grandson of Mr. Marshall Field, the founder of the Institution.

There have been no retirements from the scientific staff during the
year. Dr. J. Alden Mason, of the University of California, has accepted
the position of Assistant Curator in Mexican and South American
Archeology, and has entered upon his duties. An appointment to
the Assistant Curatorship of the Division of North American Ethnology,
authorized by the Board of Trustees, has not been decided upon. Mr,
Carl L. Hubbs, of the Leland Stanford Junior University, has accepted
the position of Assistant Curator of Ichthyology and Herpetology and
will commence his duties early in 1917. Both of these appointments
are from the younger school of their respective sciences, but come
to the Museum with the very highest endorsement and with the promise
of a useful career in the Institution.

Mr. Stanley Field having assumed the cost of restoring and main-
taining the activity of the Section of Plant Reproduction in the Depart-

ment of Botany, discontinued three years ago, the Museum has been
so fortunate as to again secure the services of Dr. B. E. Dahlgren
as an Assistant Curator in charge of this work, which he will resume
with competent assistants within the next month. Work on the
shops and studios required for this section has already commenced.

The death of Mr. Norman Wait Harris, founder of the N. W. Harris
Public School Extension of Field Museum, must be announced. The
Board of Trustees at a meeting held August 14th unanimously adopted
the following:

‘“The, death of Norman Wait Harris has closed a life whose success
and whose deeds were based upon and actuated by steadfast Christian
principles and an unswerving faith in human character. His wealth
was amassed by investments in public and private obligations under-
taken for the development and betterment of civic conditions and
public education.

‘‘No man of business in these or other times has been more scrupu-
lous in his methods, more honorable in his dealings, or more just in
measuring the rights and privileges of individuals or communities.
All his manifold transactions, his endowments and gifts to religious,
benevolent and educational causes, exemplify a purpose to dedicate
these benefactions so as to uplift humanity, and push it forward not
alone for its material good but for its spiritual welfare.

‘‘He was a philosopher in philanthrophy as he was in finance. The
honor and respect so generally shown him in life will be accorded his
name by all classes for generations.

“In expressing this appreciation of the life and character of Mr.
Harris, the Board of Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History,
which Institution has been the grateful object of his wise and humane
generosity, desire especially to record their conviction that in no direc-
tion in which Mr. Harris has selected a means of manifesting his interest
in men and their children, will larger, deeper or more lasting good have
been done than by the endowment of The N. W. Harris Public School
Extension of Field Museum of Natural History.

“The Board of Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History,
having unanimously adopted the foregoing, do instruct that the same
be spread upon the records of the Board and request the President to
cause the same to be properly engrossed and attested and presented
to the family of the late Norman Wait Harris.

The progress of the Harris Extension to the Public Schools is re-
ferred to in another part of this report, but the impressive fact that
over 250,000 public school children are now included in the service
of this Extension is a matter for special mention.

Mr. Stanley Field, President of the Museum, has during the year
provided the funds for the establishment of a Pension System in behalf
of the employes of the Museum whose compensation is not above a

JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 81

certain annual sum. This act, affording such striking evidence of
Mr. Field’s interest in the work of the Museum and sympathy for
those who are performing it, has brought to the employes a comforting
assurance of the future, which not only spreads contentment and relief
throughout the Institution, but must add to the efficiency of the work
of its beneficiaries.

The assumption by Mr. Edward E. Ayer of the cost of supplying
to the Ayer Ornithological Library any desirable publications not now
contained in the library, or which may hereafter be published, was
announced during the year — a provision for the future of this import-
ant section of the Museum Library which can hardly be over-estimated.

Another gift from the membership of the Board of Trustees is that
of Mr. Arthur B. Jones, who assumes the cost of securing and installing
a group of six North American buffalo with landscape painting and
accessories. This gift which enables the Museum to present in the best
form known to the art of modern taxidermy this familiar but practically
extinct and exclusively North American mammal in different ages and
sex, is a most highly valued contribution to the exhibition halls of
the Department of Zodlogy.

During the year the material procured at the San Francisco Expo-
sition has arrived at the Museum and altogether constitutes a very
valuable acquisition to all the departments of the Museum. The
Chinese pagodas are now installed in eleven cases. The Chinese
gateway has been erected in the main dome court, while the minerals
and birds and models and other items, all most desirable, have been
cared for in the proper departments. |

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held December r1th, by
unanimous vote permission was asked of Mr. Stanley Field to name
one of the exhibition halls of the new Museum building in his honor,
requesting him to select a hall. Mr. Field has since announced his
preference for the Hall of Mammals.

A most noteworthy gift to the Museum during the past year has
been the private herbarium of the late Elihu Hall, consisting of ap-
proximately 35,000 specimens, presented by the heirs of Mr. Hall.
This extends the plant collection in the Museum to most gratifying
proportions and adds much new material of unusual interest and
worth.

Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus has presented the Museum with his re-
markable collection of Japanese sword guards, a collection which has
attracted much interest and comment while being on exhibition at the
Chicago University. Accompanying this most unique and almost price-
less collection, were a number of rare and costly volumes of Japanese

82 Fietp Musrum or Natura History — REports, VoL. V.

Art. The Board of Trustees elected Mr. Gunsaulus a Patron in recog-
nition of the eminent services he has rendered the Institution.

Mr. Homer E. Sargent was also elected a Patron for similar reasons.

Mr. Marshall Field has presented the Board of Trustees of the
Museum with an oil portrait of the Founder of the Museum, painted
by Bonnat. It is to be placed on the wall in the Trustees’ Room of
the new Museum.

As a result of the personal efforts of President Stanley Field, the
Board of Trustees has had the pleasure of electing fifty-two Life Mem-
bers during the past few months. ‘This is a most remarkable manifesta-
tion of the growing interest of the citizens of Chicago in the Institution,
which far outweighs in importance even the very considerable sum of
money thus added to the resources of the Museum.

The contract for the filling in of the large area of ground, whose
natural elevation was some thirty feet below the floor of the basement
of the new Museum building, is practically finished; in fact, would
have been accomplished except for weather conditions. This com-
pletes what might be called the foundation work of the building and
it is expected that the placing of the steel and the setting of the marble
will begin as early in the spring as the prevailing temperature will per-
mit. The main water line has been finished to the building. The
big sewer duct has also been laid to the building line. The marble
is cut and three-fourths of it is stored in the city, the balance being
at the quarries subject to requisition. The structural steel has all
been delivered to the site.

MAINTENANCE.— The budget authorized by the Board of Trustees
provided the sum of $156,796 for the maintenance of the Museum for
the year ending December 31, 1916. The amount expended was
$136,280, showing a balance in excess of the estimated expenses of
$20,516. In addition to this amount approximately $11,000 was
expended by authority of the Board of Trustees for collections, expedi-
tions, etc., bringing the total expenditure for the year to $147,280.

Pus.ications.— During the year five publications and two indexes
have been issued. ‘These publications comprise five volumes, details
of which follow:

These publications have been distributed to all names on the mailing
list both in domestic and foreign countries with the exception of those
foreign countries where service has been temporarily discontinued by
the Bureau of International Exchanges. If a prompt acknowledgment
of these publications may be taken as an evidence of appreciation, it
has been noted that practically all of the acknowledgment cards have
been signed and returned. With the increasing number of publications
issued and the increasing demand, especially for the earlier numbers, it
has been found advisable to take an inventory of the stock actually on

hand. An inventory of the half-tones has also been taken.

THE Lisrary.— The accessions of the Library for the year are
fourteen hundred books and pamphlets, bringing the total number in
the library to 609,675, distributed as follows:

General Library... 630) 2 er
Department of Anthropolo AC ae RS ar 3,436
Department of Botany). 2/2) et ee 7,072
Department of Geology (25 20 A 9,868
Department of Zoology 7. 0073. rn a 4,371

The decrease in the number of accessions is largely due to the exist-
ing conditions abroad that continue to affect the receipts from con-
temporary institutions and societies. It is surprising that so many
continue to send their publications as regularly as they have, as will
be noted by the list of accessions. A most satisfactory feature of the
year’s work is the acknowledgment of the gifts from friends of the
Museum, which include rare and out of print works of an unusually
helpful and valuable nature. This is particularly true of the collection
of Japanese works presented by Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus that were
indispensable in the installation of the Japanese material given to the
Museum by Dr. Gunsaulus, and will be for all time valuable to the
students of Japanese art. Among these works are: Audsley’s Orna-
mental Arts of Japan; Bing’s Artistic Japan; Dresser’s Japan; Gonse’s
L’Art Japonais; Joly’s Sword Mounts and Joly’s Sword Fittings;

Mr. Edward E. Ayer presented copies of Nelson’s Birds of Yorkshire
and Dixson’s Game Birds. Mr. Ayer has also caused to be ordered for
the Museum a collection of ornithological works, which when secured,
will further enrich the Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library. The
students and artists, as they become acquainted with the resources of
the Museum Library, find it the only library in the city containing so
many rare and beautifully illustrated ornithological works. Mrs
Edward E. Ayer presented a copy of her translation of the Memorial
of Fray Alonso Benavidies, 1630. The Cambridge University, England,
sent a set of sixteen volumes of its Archeological and Ethnological
publications. From the Instituto Biologico of Mexico was received
eight of the earlier volumes of La Naturaleza. The Canadian Institute
sent fifteen of its earliest publications. The Deutsche Morgenlandische
Gesellschaft, Leipzig, presented twenty-three volumes of its Zeitschrift.
~The Academy of Arts and Sciences, Boston, completed its file of Pro-
ceedings of fifty-one volumes to date, by sending volumes one to
twenty-eight inclusive. Through the generosity of various governments
represented at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the library
received a hundred books and pamphlets. Among these contributions
was that of the Chinese Commission consisting of a work in sixteen
volumes, bound in cloth cases, entitled K‘in ting shu king t‘u shuo,
issued by the command of the late Empress Dowager in 1903, and now
out of print. The Argentine Commission gave twenty-eight volumes,
among which is a set of the Boletin of the Cordoba Academy of Natural
Sciences, particularly desirable. The purchases have been confined to
a limited number of books required by the staff for immediate use. Of
the twelve orders approved, eleven were filled and these added thirty-
five works to the Departmental libraries. Through exchanges with
foreign book dealers for publications issued by the Museum, thirteen
other important volumes desired by the staff were obtained.

Year after year the periodical lists are examined by the Curators and
those periodicals that were supposed to have permanent value when
subscribed to but have become of less use to the staff, have been dropped
from the list. At the present time ninety-eight periodicals are received
with twenty continuations.

The increased cost of materials used in binderies is reflected in the
advance in the schedule of prices for binding, leather binding being
almost prohibitive. For several years, however, all books except a few
sets in continuation have been bound in cloth or library buckram in
preference to leather as more durable bindings. During the year six
hundred and thirteen books and pamphlets have been bound.

The activities which have to do with the receiving, checking, record-
ing, cataloguing, classifying, labeling, counting, and binding — the
process through which a book must pass before it may be properly
placed on the shelf — has continued as in past years. The smaller
number of accessions has permitted a continuance of the analytical work
that further enhances the value of the library. There have been newly
written, revised, and rewritten 20,560 cards.

DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LABELING.— The work of
cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology has been continued
as usual during the current year, the number of catalogue cards written
by the various members of the staff totaling 2,036. These cards are
distributed among the divisions as follows: North American Ethnology
and Archeology 178; South American and Mexican Ethnology and
Archeology 169; Melanesian Ethnology 199; Philippine and African
Ethnology 139; Gunsaulus collection of Japanese sword-guards 926;
Tibetan Ethnology 242; Chinese Archeology and Ethnology 181;
Indian Archeology 2. These cards have been entered in the inventory
books of the Department, which now number 38. The annual acces-
sions amount to 20, all of which have been entered. The total number
of cards entered beginning from the first volume is 141,552. The
Section of Printing has supplied 4,533 labels to the Department during
the year. These are distributed over the divisions as follows: American
Archeology 235; Chinese Archeology 277; African Ethnology 2,167;
Melanesian Ethnology 1,854. The Section of Photography has pro-
vided the Department with 232 negatives, 146 prints and 18 lantern
slides. The prints were duly classified and added to the departmental
albums. An additional number of 436 cards were prepared for the
catalogue of lantern slides, the inauguration of which was reported
last year. To the label file were added 875 new label cards.

All prepared and organized material received by the Depart-
ment of Botany during the year has been catalogued to date. 20,292
entries have been made, making the total number of entries 453,083.
Of the Hall herbarium 14,149 specimens have been prepared,
mounted, and catalogued for insertion in the general herbarium of the
Museum.

The cataloguing in the Department of Geology has kept pace with
accessions and all specimens in the department are fully recorded. The
largest number of entries made was of economic specimens, a total of
1,302 new entries having been made in this division. These with
additional entries give a total number for the year of 1,989, and a total
number for the department of 134,700. The number of cards written
during the year was 78. The labels written number 1,047. About

JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 87

200 of these labels were handwritten with white ink on black card-
board to serve as temporary labels until printed ones could be secured;
the remainder were from the Section of Printing. Most of the labels
were for newly installed economic specimens. A total of 722 printed
labels has been received during the year, the larger part being for
the meteorite collection. These have all been installed with the cor-
responding specimens. There remains in the hands of the printer,
copy for 1,143 labels.

In the Department of Zodlogy the cataloguing and labeling of the
South American birds received from Museum expeditions has been
continued during the year. A regional catalogue of South American
mammals was prepared in the form of an index of about 650 cards. A
total of 1,105 labels were installed as follows: 36 labels for mounted
fishes; 2 for the Moose group; 2 for the osteological exhibit; 1 for South
American bird group; 55 for mounted birds and 1,009 for the shell col-
lection. The entries made during the year number 1,817, of which
1,663 were for ornithology and 154 for mammalogy.

Accessions.— In the Department of Anthropology the most remark-
able purchase of the year is represented by the acquisition made at the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition, consisting of a Chinese
honorary gateway and eighty-four models of Chinese pagodas. This
material was turned out by the Industrial School maintained by the
Jesuit Establishment Sikkawei near Shanghai. The gateway is entirely
carved of teakwood, and in its monumental character presents a fine
example of Chinese architecture, and thus far is the first monument of
this art in the Museum that is constructed on the size of an original.
The magnitude of the composition, the harmony of proportions, the
high technical skill, the numerous artistic and beautiful carvings, the
wealth of ingenious decorative designs which embody a fine record of
Chinese thought, make this object a most striking and prominent
acquisition. The collection of eighty-four models of Chinese pagodas
_ has both a highly scientific and an educational value. The pagodas are

88 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — REports, VoL. V.

the most conspicuous religious buildings of China, veritable landmarks
with a detailed recorded history. This collection presents the very
first comprehensive attempt to introduce them into a museum and to
render their study generally accessible. ‘The models being reproduced
according to a rigid scale (about '/so of the originals, on an average),
convey an exact idea of the original monuments and allow a minute ~
study, even of details of construction. All provinces of China are
represented in the collection; besides, there are two pagodas from Korea
and two from Tibet. A prominent accession by purchase is a collection
of more than eight hundred Mexican archzological objects. The
majority of antiquities in this collection are from excavations on the
outskirts of San Miguel Amantla, Azcapotzalco. Among the hundred
pieces of pottery forming a part of this collection are many rare and
unique forms. There are also about two hundred small objects of
great excellence and artistic quality, comprising Mixtec stone figurines,
mirrors of obsidian and pyrate nodules, beads and pendants of various
forms carved from jadeite, agate, and other translucent stones. Another
acquisition made by purchase consists of seven choice Navaho blankets,
in good condition, collected about forty years ago at Forth Wingate,
New Mexico, by Lieut. Col. Wilson T. Hartz of the U.S. Army. The
most notable gift received during the year is the collection of Japanese
sword-guards and sword-furniture brought together by the efforts of
Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus. This important collection consists of over
nine hundred specimens, comprising all the manifold designs ever
conceived for the decoration of sword-guards, and covering all periods
from medizval to modern times. These appurtenances of the sword
represent a splendid object-lesson in the application of Japanese design,
and eloquently reveal the innate spirit of Japanese chivalry and gal-
lantry. The gift of Dr. Gunsaulus is accompanied by a valuable
collection of books relating to Japanese art and in particular to sword-
guards, as well as by a special catalogue in manuscript, prepared by
Miss Helen Gunsaulus with great care after many years of earnest
study of the subject. Also 1,793 negatives of the sword-guards (the
obverse and reverse of each having been taken) were presented by
Dr. Gunsaulus. Eight musical instruments made in Peking were
presented by the Commission of the Republic of China at the Panama-
Pacific International Exposition. To Mr. Luther Parker, a former
government official in the Philippines, the Department is indebted for
a small, but very interesting collection of ancient pottery fragments
and other material, found by him in burial caves on the Islands. ‘This
pottery comes from the kilns of Sawankalok in Siam and from those of
southern China, and testifies to the medizval intercourse of the Islands

JAN., IQI7. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 89

with the mainland of south-eastern Asia. Of special interest is a frag-
ment of Celadon pottery of Chinese origin, the body of which exhibits
a pure white porcelain mass, while as a rule the early Celadon glaze is
wrought over a crude stoneware body. Mr. Arthur B. Jones enabled
the Museum to acquire a silver statuette made in Lhasa, Tibet, and
inlaid with pearls, turquois, and coral; it represents Amitabha, the
Buddha of Light. Two fine old Navaho blankets, one of bayeta, are
gifts from Mr. Homer E. Sargent. Mr. Sargent also provided funds
for the purchase of a collection of ancient pottery from Casas Grandes,
Mexico. It consists of 162 small pieces comprising coiled and indented,
smooth, undecorated, polished red and black, as well as the beautiful
polychrome ware characteristic of that region. It is equally of scientific
and artistic value. Mr. Sargent also presented to the Museum twenty
beautiful old head-plumes worn by the Karok Indians of northwestern
California in the White Deer-Skin Dance. To Mr. Edward E. Ayer
are due six fine old buckskin skirts, two aprons ornamented with pine-
nuts, three excellent head-bands of buckskin, worn in the Jumping
Dance, and a quiver of basketry carried during the same dance-cere-
mony, all from the Hupa, Yurok, and Karok Indians of northwestern
California. Mr. Ayer also contributed thirty-eight prehistoric stone
implements collected in the vicinity of Phoenix, Arizona. An inter-
esting image carved from green quartz, of Mexican origin, was presented
by Mrs. S. E. Barrett.

The number of accessions received by the Department of Botany
during the year numbered 48, of these all the specimens of 44 have been
prepared, organized, and catalogued. The accessions comprise 44
economic and 20,248 herbarium specimens. ‘The most important addi-
tion to the plant collections is that of the private herbarium of Elihu
Hall, presented by the family of the late Mr. Hall. This herbarium is
estimated to contain about 35,000 sheets; it also comprises a great mass
of duplicates that will be utilized in exchanges. The Hall herbarium
embraces Mr. Hall’s personal collections in Illinois, Texas, and Oregon,
and Hall and Harbor’s Rocky Mountain Plants; together with a mass
of material acquired in exchange with his contemporaries: Curtiss,
Bebb, Clinton Patterson, Bolander, Faxon, Gray, M. E. Jones, Mohr,
Canby, Hale, Vasey, Blake, Bishop, Fendler, Eaton, Garber, Howell,
Parry, Lemmon, Macowan, Oakes, Porter, Ravenel, Wolf, and many
others in North America. From his foreign exchanges he secured a
complete set of all the numbers of the Relique Mailleane, and very
full series of Bourgeau, Spain; Denen, Switzerland; Blanche, Syria;
Laresche, Switzerland; Gaillardot, Syria; Cosson, France; Heldereich,
Greece; Mathonnet, France; Bourgeau, Italy; Timothée, France; Pisa

go Firtrp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vo. V.

Herbarium, Italy; Bordere, France; Bunge, China; Bourgeau, France;
Miller, Australia; McOwan, South Africa; Bolus, Africa, and many
others. The Hall herbarium embraces the years 1845 to 1880. Its
unique element consists in a large number of specimens gained by
growing plants near his home, in the neighborhood of Athens, Illinois,
from seeds gathered in the western and southwestern regions of the
United States and others secured from fruiting herbarium specimens
from all parts of the world; thus enabling investigators to compare
original plants with those grown in a widely different environment.
The other notable additions for the year are: Ames, Philippine orchids
258; Clements, California plants 371; Gaumer, Yucatan 311; Grant,
Washington 76; Miss King, Kentucky 397; Lansing and Sherff, Illinois
92; Meyer, China 81; Miss Moodie, Alberta 398; New York Botanical
Garden, West Indies 1,447; Miss Standley, Florida 335; U. S. National
Herbarium, various regions 324; University of California, California
129; and Wenzel, Philippines 636. The additions to the organized
herbarium during the year are regionally shown in the following table.
These figures represent only those regions that have been augmented
during the past year — not the herbarium as a whole:

In the Department of Geology a considerable number of valuable
accessions were received from exhibitors at the Panama-Pacific Inter-
national Exposition. The commissions or firms presenting important
material were the Gas Light and Coke Company, London, England,
Australian Commission, Bolivian Commission, New Zealand Com-
mission, Chinese Commission, and Greek Commission. The Gas Light
and Coke Company, London, England, presented 223 specimens illus-
trating the by-products of gas manufacture and a mahogany floor case
for its exhibition. The series is very complete and well prepared,
showing the various products obtained from the distilation of coal.
The specimens include coal, coke, pitch, large masses of crystals of
prussiate of potash, various dyes, various hydro-carbons, such as
benzol, toluol and varieties of creosote, various forms of naphthaline,
pyridine, anthracene, alizarin, ammoniacal liquids, sulphates, nitrates,
muriates, carbonates, and other compounds of ammonia, sulphur, cop-
peras, sodium and potassium cyanides, various blue coloring matters,
other coloring matters, cyanogen, fluorescin,and various other products.
The whole forms a very nearly complete series illustrating products

which may be obtained from coal. The Australian Commission pre-
sented 61 specimens illustrating many important ores of Australia.
Many of the specimens are of large size, and the whole accession aggre-
gated several hundred pounds in weight. An important feature was
a full series of ores and concentrates of lead and zinc from the Broken
Hill district. There are also gold ores, tin and copper ores from many
localities, and a number of miscellaneous specimens. They are all of
excellent quality and will add much to the representation of Australian
oresin the Museum. The Bolivian Commission presented 80 specimens
consisting chiefly of ores of tin from various mines of Bolivia. A large
number of these specimens illustrate ores of remarkable richness.
Although Bolivia is one of the world’s most important sources of tin,
the Museum had previously no representation of its tin ores, so that
the accession is especially welcome. Ores of bismuth, molybdenum
and copper were also included in the series received. Among the copper
ores, some remarkable arborescent aggregates of native copper are of
special interest. The Chinese Commission gave a series of ores number-
ing 291 specimens, chiefly from the Province of Honan, China. These
include specimens of gold ore, sulphur, silver ore, asbestos, copper ore,
stream tin, manganese ore, antimony ore, fluorite, coke, and coal.
Specimens of lead, zinc,and iron made from these ores were also. included.
There were also a number of specimens of mineralogical interest, such
as two specimens of crystallized cinnabar, a large one of calcite and a
number of crystallized smoky quartzes. All of this material is entirely
new to the collections, no specimens from this part of China having
been previously possessed in the Department. The Commission also
presented a model of a large lead mining, milling, and dressing
works at Shui kao Shan, Province of Hunan, China. This model is
about 13 feet square and represents on a scale of 1 to 135 the topog-
raphy of the region where the lead mines are located and the various
buildings, derricks, pits, and tracks by means of which the activities _
of the mines are carried on. The model has been prepared with care
and accuracy and has geographic as well as economic interest. The
Greek Commission presented 315 specimens of ores which represent all
the important mineral products of Greece except the marbles. They
include specimens of zinc, lead, silver, iron, manganese, nickel, copper
and chrome ores together with specimens of emery and magnesite.
There are also specimens of lead and base bullion made from the ores,
and of emery powders, calcined magnesite, magnesite cement and
magnesite fire brick. The specimens are of large size and well adapted
for museum display. The large blocks of Greek emery are especially
satisfactory, as the Museum has hitherto been unable to secure display

specimens of satisfactory size of this widely used and well-known sub-
stance. The zinc ores include a great variety of the brilliantly colored
smithsonites for which Laurium is famous. Besides the ores there are
two lots of the slags from the silver smelting operations of the ancient
Greeks between 600 B.C. and 400 B.C. which are now being resmelted
to save the silver that the early smelters could not extract. The New
Zealand Commission presented a restoration of the giant, extinct bird
known as the Moa. This restoration was prepared with great care at
the New Zealand Museum, and shows a bird standing over 12 feet in
height with a body measuring 8 feet in length. The probable feather
covering is shown, also the form and dimensions of the bird. The
great size of this creature makes it an object of special interest. A
very valuable accession obtained largely through the efforts of Mr. W. J.
Chalmers, consisted of 40 specimens of tin and copper ores presented by
the leading tin mining companies of South Africa. These ores had not
-been previously represented in the collections and they are also of im-
portance since they show characters not seen in the tin ores of other
regions. Mr. Chalmers also kindly presented two especially fine
crystals of gem tourmaline from California and a specimen of crystallized
gold from French Guiana. A series of pebbles from Wyoming
showing unusual polishing by wind, was presented by Messrs. Geo. F.
Porter and A. A. Sprague. From the Chamber of Commerce of Chlo-
ride, Arizona, a representative series of the gold, silver, lead,and other
ores of that district was received by gift, making a valued addition.
An interesting series of 15 specimens illustrating the manufacture of
potash and other products from alunite and of nitrogen products manu-
factured from the air, was presented by the Armour Fertilizer Works.
In this connection also, the gift by Professor S. H. Knight, of the Uni-
versity of Wyoming, of specimens of the leucitic rocks of Wyoming,
which are considered possible sources of commercial potash, is worthy
of mention. The Titanium Alloys Manufacturing Company presented
a specinen of metallic titanium, which is a rarely produced substance,
together with specimens of two ferro-titanium alloys. The Norton
Laboratories gave a large bar of metallic magnesium. A series of
pegmatite products used in cement facing and two large masses of peg-
matite were donated by the Crown Point Spar Company of Essex,
New York. Professor E. L. Moseley of Bowling Green, Ohio, gave
some interesting specimens of celestite and invertebrate fossils. By
exchange, 13 specimens of stream concretions were obtained from
Professor F. Justin Roddy and specimens of the Dalton and Lake
Okechobee meteorites were received from the United States National
Museum. An iron meteorite from Batavia, New York, weighing 5,930

96 Frerp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vou. V.

grams, and an individual weighing 2,000 grams of the Plainview, Texas, \

meteorite fall were purchased, as were also specimens of four other me-
teorites. Eight specimens of the peculiar glassy forms called austra-
lites were also purchased. By collection, about 40 specimens of
fossils and economic specimens were added as a result of the
Curator’s trip to La Salle County, Illinois, and 75 specimens min-
erals, dendrites and rock products, from field work in Maine. The
Assistant Curator collected in Arizona 20 specimens of copper ores
and fossils.

In the Department of Zoédlogy the most important accession of the
year is a very fine and practically perfect egg of the extinct bird Apyor-
nis. It was purchased from Mr. Peter A. Bjelde who obtained it from
natives in Madagascar and personally brought it from there to this
country. The first installment of the Museum’s share of the birds
taken on the Collins-Day expedition consisting of 215 bird skins were
received from the American Museum of Natural History. The mam-
mals of this expedition were received early in the year but have not yet
been accessioned. <A collection of 57 mammals and 76 bird skins from
Argentina were presented by the Argentine Commissioners to the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition and deserve special mention.
Among them were a number of species new to the collection. To the
collection of fishes and reptiles there were added but six specimens.
One of them, however, a Yellow-bellied Sea Snake, was very desirable,
as well as new to the Museum collection. By far the largest and most
important addition than can be recorded was the Hall collection of
shells, which was a donation from the heirs of Elihu Hall, Athens, IIli-
nois. This collection consists mainly of American fresh-water shells
and contains at least several thousand named specimens. As they
have not yet been gone over and sorted by a specialist, the exact number
of specimens that will be accessioned eventually cannot be definitely
given at this time. Among the insects obtained, the most desirable
were 63 Sphinx Moths secured, by an exchange, from Mr. B. Preston
Clark of Boston. Of this lot at least thirty species were new to the
collection. Another desirable, though smaller acquisition, was an
exchange whereby 17 rare butterflies from northern India were secured.
The accessions may be summarized as follows: Purchase: 138 mam-
mals, 175 birds; 4 nests and eggs; By gift: 61 mammals, 306 birds, 14
nests and eggs, and approximately 3,o00 shells; By exchange: 39
mammals and 8o insects.

EXPEDITIONS AND FIELD Work.— A few days were spent by the Curator
of Geology in visiting several localities in La Salle County, Illinois, and
as a result specimens of a number of occurrences which had not been

‘

JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 97

previously represented in the collections were procured. The material
obtained included specimens of cone-in-cone structure, stylolites and
concretions, fossil ferns and a series of hydraulic limestones and cements.
A collecting trip was also made by the Curator of Geology among the
pegmatite regions of western Maine. A large number of valuable
specimens of the rare minerals of the region, such as tourmaline, colum-
bite, beryl,and herderite were procured, also some showy dendrites and
a striking series illustrating zonal weathering. The Assistant Curator
of Geology through a brief trip among most of the large porphyry
copper mines of New Mexico and Arizona secured a representative
though limited suite of the characteristic ores of this important new
development of the mining industry. The large mines visited on this
trip and from which specimens were secured were the Chino and Empire
Zinc mines in New Mexico, and the Copper Queen, Old Dominion,
Inspiration,and Miami mines in Arizona. At Grand Canyon, Arizona,
also, he obtained a number of specimens of Cretaceous fossils, copper
and silver ores and asbestos.

INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT.— There have
been placed on permanent exhibition in the Department of Anthro-
pology go new cases, most of these being completely labeled. The
material installed in these cases is distributed over the various
divisions as follows: African ethnology 27 cases; Melanesian ethnology
44 cases; American ethnology 1 case; American Archeology 7 cases,
and Chinese pagodas 11. The interesting Mexican pottery from Casas
Grandes presented by Mr. Homer E. Sargent has been installed in two
standard cases in the East Court. The recent acquisition of Navaho
blankets necessitated the reinstallation of a case of Navaho blanketry
in Hall 6. Progress has been made in the installation in standard cases
in the East Court, which, since the opening of the Museum, has been
shown in the old Peabody cases from the World’s Columbian Exposi-
tion. Four cases of the Hopewell material, from Ross County, Ohio,
are well along toward completion in Alcove 83. The new arrangement
on shelves is very satisfactory, and brings out to advantage the scientific
value of this remarkable collection. The prehistoric pottery from
Chiriqui Republic of Panama, has been permanently placed on exhibi-
tion in two standard cases in Alcove 93 of the East Court. Costa Rican
archeology now in Alcove 84 is being prepared for permanent exhibi-
tion. All Peabody cases released, as the work of reinstallation pro-
gresses, are used for permanent storage in Halls 68 and 69 of the West
Annex in accordance with the plan outlined a year ago. For the
purpose of preserving and photographing material, work has been done
in 138 exhibition cases. Installed cases of the Joseph N. Field collec-

98 Fretp Museum or NaturaL History — Reports, VoL. V.

tions have been moved from Hall 72 into Hall 80, thus giving needed
floor space in the former for working purposes. One-fourth of the floor
space in Hall 71 has been cleared with the result that desired additional
room for installation work has been gained. The African collection was
carefully overhauled, and a large amount of material previously un-
identified was studied and placed in its proper grouping. This material
is now divided into three groups: the first, intended for exhibition; the
second, reserved for the study collection; the third, for exchange. The
exhibition collection has been installed in twenty-seven standard cases
fully labeled, and illustrated by maps and a considerable number of
photographs. The most notable exhibit in this series is presented by
the artistic cast bronze and ivory carvings from Benin, many of the
specimens being of unusual excellence and rarity. The balance of the
Northwest Coast of Africa, the Sudan, and the upper tributaries of
the Nile, are represented by five cases. Collections from Somali-land
and the Lake Region of Eastern Africa occupy 8 cases, illustrating
different types of culture like that of the Arabicised tribes, the war-like
Masai, and the nomadic Wandorobo. A very complete collection from
the Ovimbundu and Zulu gives an instructive view of the life and
industries of these most advanced tribes of southern Africa. Congo
material is displayed in 6 cases, showing the life of the Pigmies, as well
as of the metal-working Bantu stock. An interesting feature of the
last mentioned collection is a large group of fetish objects and other
articles relating to the highly developed ceremonial and religious life
of those peoples. In their present arrangement, the African collections,
though still far from being complete, give a vivid picture of the various
cultures of the continent, and likewise illustrate well the interrelations
of the different tribes. Further progress has been made in the instal-
lation of the Joseph N. Field South Sea Islands collection, 44 cases
devoted to Melanesian ethnology having been completed. This mate-
rial covers the following regions. ‘The two islands Buka and Bougain-
ville, belonging to the group of the Solomon Islands, are fully represented
by 8 cases. Especially noteworthy in this exhibit are wood carvings
including one large human statue; the peculiar balloon-shaped hats worn
by the Matasese, the young men who are initiated into a secret society;
the huge coiled baskets, wooden platters, heavy stone nut-crackers, and
a complete series of stone implements, showing the different ways of
hafting the axes. The central Solomons are represented by objects
inlaid with pearl and by a large wooden bowl. Fourteen cases are
devoted to New Ireland, with a display of huge ancestral images of
wood and memorial carvings (from central New Ireland and the Gard-
ner Islands), ancestral figures of stone, and a great variety of masks,

JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 99

some very elaborate. The different types of clubs and spears, including
those terminating in worked human bone, are completely represented.
Native life on the island of New Hanover is shownin another case. The
elaborately decorated clubs and spears of St. Matthias together with
large ornamented combs, and woven mats and belts occupy two cases.
The same number of cases illustrates the culture of Lihir, Aneri, Tanga,
Nissan, small islands east of New Ireland, the manufacture of shell arm
rings from Tanga and shell money from Nissan being especially note-
worthy. ‘Two further cases are concerned with Lord Howe, Mortlock,
Tasman, and Sikaiana, small islands lying north of the Solomons, but
showing a culture with Micronesian and Polynesian, rather than Mel-
anesian affinities. New Britain is represented by a very complete col-
lection, in sixteen cases, from the Gazelle Peninsula. It includes many
valuable old specimens obtained and figured by Richard Parkinson, also
a number of remarkable Baining and Sulka masks, numerous specimens
from central and western New Britain as well as from the neighboring
islands, showing a strong New Guinea influence. A representative
collection from the southwest coast about Cape Merkus illustrates the
life and industries of the people. There is a series of their finely carved
wooden bowls, coiled baskets, painted bark-cloth, feather head-dresses
used in dances, and personal ornaments. The Philippine material
has been revised and partially reinstalled. The models of Chinese
pagodas have been installed in three standard four-feet cases and eight
special cases arranged in Hall 48 of the East Annex. This Hall was
opened to the public at the end of the year. The Chinese gateway has
been erected on the east side of the Rotunda.

In the Department of Botany the following cases have been in-
stalled, labeled and placed on exhibition: in the American Forestry
Series: Sweet Buckeye; Fraser’s Fir; Southern Red Cedar; Loblolly
Bay; Silver Bell; Pennsylvania Cherry; Ogeche Lime; Water Gum;
Black Cherry; and Basswood. Specimens, with their labels, sufficient
for the installation of twelve other cases have been fully prepared and
are ready to be put in place as soon as the cases for their accommodation
are furnished. Installation in the herbarium cases has been sadly
interfered with on account of lack of space in the rooms available to this
section of the department. It has become necessary to remove from
installation all specimens in the lower plant orders, wrap them up in
bundles and store them away, in order to give up their place in the cases
to families more frequently consulted. This has also been necessary in
the case of newly arriving Eurasian plants, until the end of the year
reveals over three hundred such bundles rendered unavailable for study.
or reference. A discouraging amount of time and labor had to be

too Fretp Musrum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V.

wasted in shifting and reshifting installed specimens in order to make
room for the installation of new material and keep the collection as
available as possible in the cramped quarters they occupy. Space for
the organization and preparation of the Elihu Hall herbarium was
gained by shifting a number of exhibition cases into a hollow square on
the exhibition gallery and connecting the case with the preparator’s
room.

In the Department of Geology three halls, Nos. 60, 61,and 62, which
had been closed to the public for several years were reinstalled and
reopened. In two of these halls are now exhibited numerous large,
vertebrate fossils of Pleistocene age, including skeletons of the Cave
Bear and large birds of New Zealand, the mastodon skull found at
Yorkville, Illinois, and restorations of the giant sloth, large turtle, large
armadillo or Glyptodon, and fossil shark jaws. Various bones of the
mammoth and mastodon, small whales and Tertiary titanotheres are
also shown in these halls, and a series of the large, corkscrew-like forms
known as Demonelix. In addition, a model of the above-ground work-
ings of the Shui kao Shan lead mine, Hunan, China, has been installed
in Hall 60. This model covers an area of about 170 square feet. Itis
enclosed in a case thirteen feet square and placed on a base three feet
high. The case and base were constructed at the Museum, the model
itself was the gift of the Chinese Commission to the Panama-Pacific
International Exposition. The model illustrates on a scale of 1:135
the plant at the surface of the mine, and the ore dressing works at which
the ore is prepared for smelting. The plant was built by European
trained men and illustrates the extent and variety of operations carried
onin modern mining. <A large specimen of the ore obtained at the mine
accompanies the exhibit. To the third hall, Hall 62, of the group
recently opened, the petroleum collection previously exhibited in
Alcove 107 was transferred, with some additions. As now installed,
the collection comprises nine wall cases, two pyramidal floor cases and
two flat floor cases of specimens. Of these cases, five are devoted to
the petroleums produced in different oil fields, one to a quantitative
exhibit of the products of one barrel of petroleum, four to various
finished products of petroleum, and three to specimens of petroleum-
bearing sands and rocks and their characteristic fossils. ‘To the space
left vacant in Alcove 107 by the removal of the petroleum exhibit, five
cases containing stone and iron meteorites were moved and fully
reinstalled. One of these cases was devoted to Canyon Diablo meteor-
ites, of which the collection contains a large number of specimens vary-
ing in weight from 1013 lbs. to a few ounces. The total weight of this
meteorite thus exhibited is over 5,000 lbs. In other cases all the larger

stone and iron-stone meteorites were placed, the specimens being
grouped so as to bring those of the same class together. At the same
time the opportunity was improved to definitely group all the meteor-
ites, the grouping being on the basis of a classification founded on
structural features. In Hall 31 a number.of series have been rearranged
with or without the addition of new material. One of these is a collec-
tion of volcanic products which has been so reorganized as to exhibit
the characteristic products of each locality in groups. At present,
good series of the products of the volcanoes of Vesuvius, Popocatepetl,
Kilauea, Sakurijima, the Auvergne region and many localities in the
western United States are shown. A special addition made to the
products of Vesuvius was a series of specimens of volcanic ash thrown
out during the eruption of April, 1906. These specimens show the
changes in the character of the ash during successive days of the erup-
tion. Photographs of a recent eruption of Sakurijima were installed
- among the products of that volcano. Other additions made to the
series of dynamical geological products in Hall 31 include six splendid
specimens of zonal weathering which were collected by the Curator in
Maine, specimens of dendrites similarly collected, a number of speci-
mens of cone-in-cone structure, stylolites, etc., collected by the Curator
in Illinois, and a number of specimens showing several varieties of
weathering. Another change made in the installation of this hall was
the removal to storage of the series of New York rocks and the installa-
tion in its place of collections illustrating the uses of lime and of borax.
In the collection illustrating lime and its uses, a number of varieties of
limestone and lime from various localities are shown and following these,
illustrations of chemical and agricultural uses of lime and limestone, uses
of lime for paints, plasters, and cements, medical uses of lime, etc. In
the borax collection are shown various borax minerals, various refined
boraxes, and illustrations of the uses of borax in the arts. Another
collection prepared and installed in this hall was one illustrating sources
and uses of potash. Various rocks and minerals containing potash in
appreciable quantities are exhibited in this collection and many of the
finished products from these rocks, including not only potash but
alumina, sulphuric acid, etc. The collection illustrating magnesia and
its uses was considerably enlarged and rearranged, additions of Indian
and Grecian magnesite, raw and calcined, being made, also of metallic
magnesium, hydraulic cements, magnesia packing, etc. To the sulphur
collection were added some interesting specimens of molded sulphur
received from China. Some additions were also made to the economic
barite and fluorite collections. A magnetic compass was installed in
connection with the large specimen of lodestone in Hall 30, the compass

102 FirLp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vo. V.

being supported on a pivoted brass arm in such a manner that it can be
moved by the visitor in a semi-circle about the lodestone. The attrac-
tion of the lodestone causes a reversal of the ends of the needle and a
constant pointing of the needle towards the stone, thus illustrating its
permanent magnetic properties. In Skiff Hall, a number of additional
collections have been installed, space for introduction of new material
having been gained by removal of some previously exhibited. In place of
two cases of onyx, the case of products of coal received from the London,
England, Gas Light and Coke Company was installed. This case con-
tains over 200 large and showy specimens representing the products of
coal, such as coke, ammonia compounds, carbolic acid, prussiates and
cyanides, creosotes, dyes and pigments. The whole makes a brilliant
and instructive exhibit and one of special interest at this time, since the
domestic production of many of these compounds has become desirable
in view of the difficulty of obtaining them from abroad. The exhibit is
installed in a case received from the London Company, some alterations
having been made in it to make it harmonize in appearance with the
other cases in the hall. To other collections in the hall a large number
of additions have been made, chiefly of material received from the
Panama-Pacific International Exposition. The greatest of these addi-
tions has been made to the tin ore collection. The additions include
the splendid series of South African tin ores obtained through the gener-
ous efforts of Mr. W. J. Chalmers, about an equal number of Bolivian
tin ores, 15 specimens of Australian tin ores and some tin ores from
scattering localities. Owing to increased interest in tungsten ores, this
collection also was completely rearranged, and a full series from most
of the important localities producing such ores at this time was pro-
cured and exhibited. The collection of gold and silver ores of Ontario
has been reinstalled with the addition of specimens representing several
of the newly discovered gold districts. Part of the copper ore collections
have been revised, with the addition of specimens representing the
‘“porphyry’’ ores of the United States, and typical ores of copper
mining districts of Bolivia, South Africa and China. A series of
Chinese ores has been added to the iron ore collection. Specimens
from the Panama-Pacific International Exposition and from the mate-
rial received from Mr. W. J. Chalmers have been installed with
the ores of gold, silver, lead, tungsten, and mercury, thus materially
strengthening these collections. A collection from the potash deposits
of Utah illustrating the ores and their aluminum salts which are their
by-products, has been installed with the aluminum ores collection. A
complete skeleton of the American camel Oxydactylus longipes, of
the lower Miocene period, was installed in a floor case in Hall 36.

JAN., 1917. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 103

This camel was remarkable for its size and slender structure, the
slenderness being such as to make the skeleton difficult to mount.
In order to obtain sufficient rigidity, steel sockets were set in the limb
bones at intervals and these served as fastenings for pieces of half-round
steel which were placed along the surfaces of the bones. In this way a
firm but graceful mount was secured. The base of the mount was made
of material imitative of the matrix in which the skeleton was found. In
an adjoining case a fore leg of Alticamelus, another American camel
remarkable for the size and length of its limb bones has been installed;
and in still another case a number of skulls and limb bones of Miocene
camels and horses have been placed. All of this material was col-
lected by Museum expeditions in the western states. The skeleton
of the saber tooth cat in this hall was transferred to a plaster base
imitating the matrix from which it was taken. The series of Jurassic
mollusks from Patagonia collected by Professor Salisbury has been in-
stalled in Hall 36, and a case of Devonian fossils has been brought from
Hall 61 and installed in this hall. In the paleontological laboratory the
cleaning and mounting of a skeleton of Oxydactylus has been completed;
a fore limb of Alticamelus has been prepared and mounted; a skeleton
of a small, Miocene, burrowing carnivore found in one of the peculiar
corkscrew-like forms occurring in Nebraska has been prepared for
mounting; two partial skeletons of the Oligocene three-toed horse,
Mesohippus bairdii, have been prepared, as have also a large skull of
Diceratherium and fore limbs of the smallest Miocene horse, Merychip-
pus; the mounting of a skeleton of a fossil wolf from the Los Angeles
beds has been nearly completed and the skeleton of the saber tooth cat
from the same locality has been transferred to a base imitative of the
matrix from which the specimen was obtained.

In the Department of Zoology the reinstallation of the shell exhibit
has been continued during the year. Seven cases of shells were installed,
1o of the new A-cases now being filled. Of this number 7 have been
permanently labeled. Some idea of the amount of work required to
install a case may be formed when it is stated that one of those just filled
contains 2,829 shells, most of which has to be mounted in a special man-
ner and which required 718 tablets and almost the same number of
individual shelves for their installation. In the Division of Osteology
337 Skulls and 12 skeletons were prepared. ‘Three skeletons were also
prepared for the exhibition collection. The usual precautions were
taken against the depredations of insect pests and all collections were
disinfected. Most of the exhibition cases are now provided with devices
which permit disinfection without opening the case. In the serial col-
lection of mammals on exhibition, rearrangement and elimination of

104. Fretp Museum or Natura History — Reports, Vot. V.

duplicates and imperfect specimens has been commenced. Early in
the year material in the taxidermists’ shop was thoroughly overhauled
and a few old specimens of no value, were condemned and destroyed.
The skin dresser has been occupied most of the time in preparing
skins of large mammals recently obtained. The group of Alaska
Moose has been finished and installed in an alcove of the west court.
It is the largest single group thus far produced in the Museum shops
and is undoubtedly the best representation of this splendid game
animal in existence. Inacase 24 feet in width and 12 feet in depth and
provided with a large painted background the scene reproduced is of
the interior of Kenai Peninsula, Alaska, with a foreground of poplars,
willows, small spruce, and mixed low vegetation a background of lakes
and streams and snow-clad mountains. Four animals are shown, an
old bull, a young bull, an adult cow and a calf of the year. The skins
of these are in the finest possible condition, having been personally
collected, preserved, shipped, dressed and mounted by a taxidermist of
the Museum force. The antlers of the old bull of this group are the
largest of which there is authentic record, the total spread between ©
outermost point being 78% inches. These ‘“‘record’’ antlers have been
in the possession of the Museum for some years and on account of their
special interest it was decided to take them from storage and make them
available to the public by placing them in this group even though it was
necessary to associate them with the skin of an animal not the one
which bore them originally. Therefore they were mounted with the
skin of another old bull of very large size and the facts stated on the
label. During the year work has progressed on other mammal groups
notably the capybara and jaguar group which require the preparation
of a large amount of artificial tropical vegetation. It is now almost
ready for installation. Plans and preliminary models have been made
for a new group of American Bison in which entirely fresh specimens of
high quality will be used. The group formerly prepared under diffi-
culties from relatively poor material has been dismantled. Living
animals for the new group have been selected and as soon as they are in
proper condition will be prepared for use by the Museum taxidermists,
who will thus be able to take all necessary measurements and life
studies. A few additions to the systematic exhibition of mammals
have been made, the most important being a pair of Saiga antelope, a
species from the steppes of western Asia having unusual amber-colored
horns and long tubular overhanging nostrils. Other mammals added
to this series include South American Cavies, the wild progenitors of
Guinea pigs, African wild rats, and fresh specimens of North American
hares. The fourth and final unit of the first four-section case of tropical

bird groups was finished and installed. The group shown consists of
birds characteristic of the low tropics of north-central Brazil where one
of the Museum’s expeditions worked a few years ago. The most con-
spicuous of these are the large tropical American storks known as the
Jabiru. Others included with them are ibises, sun bitterns, gallinules,
and boatbills. Thirty-six mounted birds from Argentine and twenty
from North America, including a Passenger Pigeon, were added to the
serial exhibition collection.

THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.
— At the close of the year 476 cases were available for circulation
among the public schools, 86 cases having been installed during
the year. Six cases were permanently withdrawn from the supply
and sent to the Museum of History, Art and Science of Los
Angeles. ‘There are also many cases on hand in various stages of prep-
aration and installation. Not only do the members of the staff of this
Department install all of the specimens of birds, mammals, fishes,
reptiles,and insects, but they collect and prepare them for installation
as well. Nearly all of the butterflies and birds found in and around
Chicago are represented either by specimens installed or by specimens
that have been partially prepared for installation. In many of the
cases in which birds, mammals and reptiles are shown, enlarged colored
photographs of the habitat or of characteristic environments of the
specimens, form backgrounds. These backgrounds add greatly to the
naturalness of the taxidermy and to the realism of the accessories
employed, and reduce the use and need of much of the latter.

Sufficient time has elapsed since the inauguration of this work to
permit competent judgment being passed upon the physical merits of
the exhibition cases. It is gratifying to report that the type of case
used has met all requirements demanded of it. The claim for the
secureness of the installation of all specimens is well supported by
the fact that thirty-four installed cases were transported by freight
to San Francisco and returned, and not in a single instance was it
necessary to repair any damage and in but one instance was it neces-
sary to reinstall a specimen—that one being of a friable nature.
The number now on hand of empty cases of the four and ten inch types
is so small that a requisition for additional new cases will be made
within a short time. It is more than likely, owing to space limita-
tions, that with additional new cases some method, other than that
now in use, for caring for empty and installed cases will have to be
adopted. Representatives of the principals of the Chicago public
schools expressed a desire to have types of the extension cases placed on
permanent exhibition in one of the rooms of the Board of Education.

106 Fietp Museum or Natura History — Reports, VoL. V.

The school authorities sanctioned this request and granted permission
to make the exhibition and designated for that purpose a room used by
the principals and teachers as a committee room. Plans for dis-
playing them are being perfected. An exchange of cases will be made.
In compliance with the request of the president of the American
Association of Museums to have an exhibit of the Museum extension
cases made at a meeting of the association held in Washington, D. C.,
May 15-18, four cases were sent. In conjunction with the exhibition
of the cases, there was read a brief paper prepared by the Curator on
“The Development of The N. W. Harris Public School Extension of
Field Museum of Natural History.’”’ Several cases containing birds
have been loaned for a brief period to the Chicago Art Institute for
the purpose of study by classes in nature study. A most pains-
taking and thorough investigation of the methods of installing the
cases and the system of recording and circulating them among the
schools, was made by Professor Yaezo Wado of the Department of
Natural Science, First National College, Tokio, Japan, with the view
of introducing the same or similar methods in Japan. The Public
Museum of Oakland, California has adopted for its extension work,
cases and methods similar to those of this Department.

As an evidence of the value of the cooperation between The N. W.
Harris Public School Extension of Field Museum of Natural History
and the public schools of Chicago, the following letter from John D.
Shoop, superintendent of schools,to Director Frederick J. V. Skiff, is
offered:

‘““T deem it a duty as well as I esteem it a privilege to write you in
testimony of the results that, in the past few years, have attended the
closer cooperation that has been established between the public schools
and the Museum.

“The bequest made by Mr. N. W. Harris has proved of great value to
the schools. The exhibits that have been assembled under the direction
of Mr. Simms are valuable factors in intensifying and enlarging the
interest of the pupils in the spheres of industry and nature. I am cer-
tain that you will be pleased to know that the movement made possible
through the benevolence of Mr. Harris is baa in so much of
interest and profit to our public school system.”

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR.
1917

To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History:

I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum
for the year ending December 31, 1917.

The progress during the year just closed in the construction of the
new Museum building in Grant Park has been important and perceptible.
This would naturally appear to be so to the casual observer, because the
work has been, so to speak, above ground, but from the standpoint of the
architects. and general contractors this is also the fact. During the year
the inside and outside fill was completed. The setting of the exterior
marble commenced in May, and at the end of the year the east and west
wings of the building were practically completed as was also the basement
work of the north and south entrances. Sixty per cent of both the
marble carving and the/sculptor marble are complete. The brick work
in all the exterior walls is finished up to the roof line, and the interior
court walls have been completed to the second floor. There has been
difficulty in obtaining brick for the court walls, which accounts for this
work not being finished. All the steel floor beams are in place with the
exception of the north and south entrances. It is believed that the steel
for the roof of the entire building including the nave, but not the
entrances, will be in place before April 1918. It is also anticipated that
all the roofing including the tile composition and glass work will be
finished not later than August first. Excellent progress has been made
in the plumbing work and approximately fifty per cent of this labor
has been completed. The steam fitting has progressed with the other
work and about twenty-five per cent of this contract is installed, ex-
clusive of the boilers, stokers and coal handling machinery. Levels are
continually being taken for signs of settlement or movement, but thus
far there has been no moving whatever either horizontally or vertically
during construction.

With no ceremony and in the presence of only a few of the Trustees
and executive officers of the Museum, a copper box was placed in a
corner stone of the new building on Friday, September 28, 1917, at
2:00 o’clock P.M. The box contained a typewritten history of the
Museum from its inception until the date indicated; a photograph of

I51

152. Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V.

Mr. Marshall Field, the founder of the Institution; a photograph of the
present Museum building; a copy of Mr. Field’s will; a copy of the
proceedings of the first meeting of the reorganized Board of Trustees
of the Museum, held January 22, 1894, etc.

The sudden death of Mr. Henry Field, grandson of the founder of
the Museum, and also the death of Mr. George Everett Adams, both
Trustees of the Institution, occurred during the year. Mr. Field had
not completed his first year as a Trustee, but had manifested in various
ways an interest in and intention to support the plans for the further
development and advance of the Museum. Mr. Adams, an old and
highly respected citizen of Chicago, was a member of the first Board
of Trustees, as he was of the first preliminary committee which resulted
in the organization of the Museum. He took great pride in the Institu-
tion and was deeply concerned in its welfare.

Special mention should be made of further and large additions by
Mr. Edward E. Ayer to the Ornithological Library which bears his
name. The Chalmers Crystal Collection, through an annuity of $500.00
provided by Mr. William J. Chalmers, has received important additions.
A most’ generous gift of a large, valuable and rare collection of Navaho

blankets, Indian baskets, costumes, etc., has been made to the ance :

tion by Mr. Homer E. Sargent.

The installation of the Section of Plant Reproduction under the
Stanley Field contribution in its new and commodious quarters, fully
equipped with all the conveniences and appliances necessary to the
work in this section, has been completed.

The endowment of the Stanley Field Museum Employees — Pension
Fund has been consummated by final payment to the fund of $75,000.00
by its founder. There have been no demands upon the fund thus far.

Judge R. M. Barnes of Lacon, Illinois, has accepted the appoint-
ment of Assistant Curator of Odlogy. His active services will not begin
until the period for installation in the new building is reached. In

the meantime, however, Mr. Barnes will prosecute more or less work in

his science at his home, where he has a most remarkable collection.

The engineers of Graham, Anderson, Probst & White, architects,
have made a careful inspection of the present Museum building, and,
with the exception of a few instances where minor repairs and altera-
tions seemed to be necessary, have found the building safe in every
way. Their recommendations for alterations and repairs have been
carried out.

The attendance at the Museum has not been very large. Continued
public interest in the Museum, however, is manifested by the addition
of a considerable number of Life Members during the year. _

JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 153

The influence of the N. W. Harris Public School Extension of Field
Museum is widening by continually increasing the number of schools
in which the cabinets are placed. In spite of the best efforts of the
Extension, however, it is impossible to meet the demands that are
made for this educational service.

MainTeNANcE. — The Budget authorized by the Board of Trustees
provided the sum of $156,911.00 for the maintenance of the Museum
for the year ending December 31, 1917. The amount expended was
$137,486.00, showing a balance in excess of the estimated expenses of
$19,425.00. In addition to this amount $4,626.00 was expended by
authority of the Board of Trustees for collections, special building
repairs, etc., bringing the total expenditures for the year to $142,112.00.

PusLications.— During the year six Publications were issued, com-
prising parts of four volumes, details of which follow:

Pub. 191.— Zodlogical Series, Vol. X, No. 15. The Fishes of the Fresh
Waters of Panama. By S. E. Meek and S. F. Hildebrand.
December 28, 1916. 159 pages, 16 halftones. Edition 1500.

Pub. 192.— Anthropological Series, Vol. XV, No. 2. The Beginnings
of Porcelain in China. By B. Laufer. 1917. 106 pages,
7 halftones. Edition 1500.

Pub. 193.— Zodlogical Series, Vol. XII, No. 1. Notes on little known
Species of South American Birds with Descriptions of
New Sub-Species. By C.B. Cory. January, 1917. 7 pages.

| Edition 1500.

Pub. 194.— Report Series, Vol. V, No. 2. Annual Report of the Director
for the year 1916. 71 pages, 11 halftones. Edition 2500.

Pub. 195.— Anthropological Series, Vol. VI, No. 4. Three Etruscan
Painted Sarcophagi. By F. B. Tarbell. 9 pages, 9 halftones.
Edition 1,000.

Pub. 196.— Ornithological Series. Vol. 1, No. 11. Contents and In-
dex to Vol. I. 16 pages. 1896-1916. Edition 1,000.

It will be noted that number 11 concludes Volume I of the Ornitho-
logical Series. It also closes this Series. All future Ornithological Pub-
lications will appear in the Zodlogical Series.

These publications were distributed to individuals and institutions
on the domestic mailing list and to those of foreign countries where
exchange service is not suspended by the Bureau of International
Exchanges. The nature of some of the Publications, as well as the
increasing cost of all of them necessitated the re-classification of the
mailing list. This has caused an elimination of some exchanges from
which the Museum does not receive returns, and in sending to others
previously receiving all the Publications, only such as are of special

154 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vou. V.

interest to their work. In taking account of the sales of the Publications,
it is interesting to note the increasing number sold to individuals and
institutions as well as to booksellers. The stock of Publications and
halftones was moved during the year from Room 64 to Room 11. Two
more cabinets were purchased to accommodate the halftones and zinc
etchings that are filed numerically to date.

THE Liprary.— The books and pamphlets accessioned during the
year were 1,641, bringing the total number of books and pamphlets in
the Library to 71,316, which are distributed as follows:

General’ Library <1) 2°) 0 9 0 Sr Ce eo ay Ove

Departmentof Botany 32 oe kk ea Ae, ae eee 7,193
Department of Geology oi. 1 Nos od e, baie a) Seas eee ee oe
Pepartment: of Zoology oui). ace he eas ee ee 4,557

The operations in the Library during the year were largely normal
in character and the routine work has gone on without interruption.
The resources of the Library continue to be taxed by the members of
the scientific staff for material desired in their research work and in
the quest for information in working up collections for reference or
exhibition that have been received without data. The fourth year of
the war brings a great decrease in the literary output of all foreign
countries, especially in works on natural sciences. Exchanges have
practically ceased with some foreign countries, and from others receipts
have been irregular. Notwithstanding these conditions, there has been
a gratifying increase of accessions over last year of two hundred and
fifty books and pamphléts. The outstanding event of the year is the
purchases made and presented by Mr. Edward E. Ayer of many rare
and beautifully illustrated works for The Edward E. Ayer Ornithological
Library. Among these are: Gould, Icones Avium, 2 parts, 1837-38;
Gray, Genera of Birds, 3 volumes, 1844-49, one of the works that rank
in beauty of execution with Gould’s and Audubon’s works already in
this library; Edwards, Natural History Birds, 4 volumes, 1802-6;
Buffon, Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux, 20 volumes, 1770-86; Booth,
Rough Notes on Birds, 3 volumes; Thorburn, British Birds, 4 volumes,
1915-16; Swainson, Birds of Brazil and Mexico, 1841; Thienemann,
Die Végel Europas, 1825; Levaillant, Oiseaux d’Amérique et des Indes,
volume 1, 1801; Oates and Blanford, Fauna of British India, including
Ceylon and Burma. Birds, 4 volumes, 1889-98. Subscription was
entered to Mathews’ wonderfully illustrated ‘‘Birds of Australia” of
which five complete volumes and five numbers of volume VI have been
received. Eighteen orders for books have been filled, adding fifty-four
books and pamphlets to the Departmental Libraries. Among those

JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 155

purchased are: Petrus Peregrinus de Magnate, a facsimile, 1900; Gray,
China; Sykes, History of Persia; Steele, Translation from the Chinese
of the I-li; Joly, Legend in Japanese Art; Audsley, Gems of Japanese
Art; Shaw, Zodlogy; Waterhouse, Mammalia, pt. 2, 1839; Van Wijks,
Dictionary of Plant Names, volume II. Subscriptions were also entered
for “‘Mythology of all Races” and Hastings’ ‘‘Encyclopedia of Re-
ligion.”’ The periodical list is temporarily disorganized, as no subscrip-
tions for a number of the foreign periodicals and serials are accepted at
the present time by the agencies. During the year four hundred and
thirty-seven books were received from the bindery. For the various
catalogues 17,873 cards were written and filed. Two more sections were
added to the card catalogue cabinets to accommodate the increase.
Another bookcase was placed in the general reading room. The library
again acknowledges its indebtedness to the City’s libraries, to the
Library of Congress, and the United States Medical Library for loan
of books required by the scientific staff in the prosecution of their work.
The number of people who visit the general library for the purpose of
consulting its books shows an increase over previous years.

DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LABELING. — The work of
cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology has been carried on
with vigor during the year, the total number of catalogue cards prepared
amounting to 6,119. These cards are distributed over the various
divisions as follows: Jewelry from India 80; Archaeology of China and
Tibet 196; Melanesian Ethnology 4,064; American Archaeology and
Ethnology 1,121; Physical Anthropology 658. All these cards have been
entered in the inventory books of the Department, which now number
38. The number of annual accessions amounts to 21, thirteen of which
have been entered. The total number of cards entered from the opening
of the first volume amounts to 147,670. A total number of 6,430 labels
was turned out by the printer for use in the exhibition cases of the
Department. These are distributed over the divisions as follows:
Gunsaulus Collection of Sword-Guards 3,544; Philippine Ethnology
2,207; Melanesian Ethnology 113; Mexican and Central American
Archaeology 546; Egyptian Pottery 16; Salish Ethnology 4. The
printer supplied the Department with 2,575 catalogue cards. Several
new label cards were added to the label file.

In the Department of Botany all prepared and organized material
received during the year has been specifically catalogued. The entries
made number 15,933, bringing the total entries to 469,736. This
_ Department has written 4,145 labels for specimens sent out in exchange
with other institutions. Of these 64 were of the economic material and
4,081 herbarium specimens.

All accessions received by the Department of Geology have been
fully catalogued. The largest number of additions in any division was
that to the paleontological collections, which show an increase of 3,745
specimens. The total number of entries made during the year was
5,246, bringing the total entries to 139,919. A total of 7,878 cards
have been written. The labeling of the meteorite collection has been
completed, 578 labels having been made and installed during the year
for this purpose. Other series labeled are those of Chilean copper ores
and Brazilian gold and iron ores. A total of 361 labels have been
written during the year and 775 labels are ready to be printed. To
the Departmental series of photographs, 163 prints were added, making
a total of 2,911. All of these prints have been labeled, numbered and
placed in albums in the order of their receipt.

The regular cataloguing of the collection of mammals in the Depart-
ment of Zoology has proceeded as usual. The relatively small number
of accessions has made it possible to devote considerable time to the
revision and completion of early records and to the segregation of
material unaccompanied by authentic data. A total of 432 original
catalogue entries were made during the year. In the classified card
catalogue, 1,500 cards were written in Mammalogy, which included a
considerable proportion substituted for temporary cards made some
years ago before the collections had been fully classified. Separate
indexes are now maintained of (1) the general study or reference collec-
tion of mammals; (2) the collection of mammals on exhibition; (3) the
mammal skeletons in addition to those of Osteology; (4) the dressed
skins of large mammals kept in special storerooms. With the exception
of those of the dressed skins, these catalogues are now practically all
revised and completed to date. The serial or synoptic collection
of mammals on exhibition has been reclassified and new labels have
been written throughout. Careful consideration of the matter of
tagging and labeling the specimens in the Division of Ichthyology
and Herpetology in the most efficient manner, resulted in the pur-
chase of a numbering machine for stamping of tin tags, and in
printing a uniform series of labels, to be placed against the inner side
of the jars. The catalogue in this Division has been rearranged and
is being rewritten as the study of the collections proceeds. Over 1,000
labels for the reinstallation of the shell cases were prepared. The
entries made in the Department of Zoology numbered 1,024, bring-
ing the total to 99,699. The cards written number 1,654, making
a total of 34,122.

The following table shows the work performed on catalogues and
the inventorying accomplished:

Accessions. — The foe of Anthropology received as a gift
from Mr. Edward E. Ayer a rectangular cooking vessel and a large
house lamp, both of steatite and both representing types from the
Eskimo east of Point Barrow, Alaska, entirely new to the collection
in the Museum. Mr. Ayer also presented a metate of Mexican type and
a muller dug up some years ago at San Juan Capistrano, southern
California. This is a fine specimen of perfect workmanship and superior
to similar objects heretofore possessed by the Museum. Mr. Charles F.
Rauchfuss of River Forest made an important addition to the Illinois
archaeological collections of the Museum by his gift of 250 specimens,
chiefly chipped objects, from Pope County. Mr. Homer E. Sargent
presented to the Museum a small collection of Salish basketry, which
will be of value in the study of technique, materials, and designs of that
region. This collection was made in connection with a new research
into Indian basketry initiated and patronized by Mr. Sargent. With
the exception of the Stanley McCormick gifts resulting in the Hopi
collections, no Southwest accession is comparable to the recent gift of
Mr. Homer E. Sargent, the most prominent accession of the year.
This group of eighty textiles presents the result of judicious and dis-
criminative collecting extended with tact and taste over a period of
more than ten years, and includes a great deal of material that at this
time would not be obtainable. It comprises 37 Hopi and Navaho
blankets of old designs, many of them bayetas; 9 Navaho squaw dresses
of excellent weave and varying decorative motives; 6 Navaho woman’s
mantles; 1 Navaho man’s woven shirt; 2 Chimayo blankets; 1 two-faced
Mexican serape; 5 very rare Pueblo woman’s ceremonial robes; 7 mantles
or shawls from the same region; 2 fine Zufii dresses; 3 Pueblo woman’s
belts; 4 ceremonial kilts for men; 2 ceremonial sashes and other articles
of the Southwest weaver’s skill. Aside from their historical and ethno-
logical significance, many of these textiles have decidedly artistic
merits and qualities both as to design and coloration, and may compete
with the best productions in Oriental rugs. The album presented by
Mr. Tokumatsu Ito is deserving of especial mention. It contains 92
ancient wood-engravings representing favorite deities of the Japanese
pantheon and sold by the temples to devotees and pilgrims, who keep

these pictures as charms. This is a unique collection made in the course
of many years, and its value is enhanced by a complete transliteration
and translation of the legends printed on the engravings, which Mr. Ito
himself has kindly supplied. A recent purchase comprises about 390
Eskimo objects acquired by Mr. Petersen at Nome, Alaska, during his
residence there. The whole collection adds materially to the strength
of present exhibits from the Arctic regions. It is especially notable for
the great variety of fine mammoth and walrus ivories, and small ivory
objects, as carved hair combs, labrets, animal carvings, float plugs,
belt fastenings, dart heads, etc., along with many fine larger artifacts.
Also some grave material is included in this collection. The collections
from the Far East were enriched by the purchase of six exquisite cere-
monial ivory tablets secured by Dr. John C. Ferguson, state counsellor
of the Chinese Government. These specimens are exceedingly rare, and
can be obtained only from high officials who inherited them from their
forefathers. They come down from the Ming dynasty (1368-1643),
and were used by dignitaries of rank for jotting down memoranda and
to be held in their hands at audiences with the emperor. The most
notable accession of the year in the field of Latin American archaeology
was a collection of artifacts from the region of Casas Grandes, Northern
Mexico. These were excavated by Captains J. W. Wright and A. T.
Cooper at Colonia Dublan, head-quarters of the American punitive
expedition, and presented to the Museum through General Pershing.
The collection consists principally of stone implements, and includes
several of the large rectangular trough-shaped metates, characteristic
of this region, which are of considerable interest and very rarely seen
in museums.

The Department of Botany received the following important
additions to its herbarium series during the year: The private herbarium
of John Murdoch, Jr., presented to the Museum by his widow. It con-
tains 3,322 sheets of plants, principally his personal collections in
Massachusetts, Colorado, California and South Dakota. Other notable
accessions were: Ames’ Orchids 84; Bebb, Illinois 174; Blanchard,
Vermont and District of Columbia 235; Britton, Britton & Wilson,
Cuba and Isle of Pines 763; Collins, Bermuda 259; Cook, Canary
Islands 383; Fernald, Newfoundland 292; Furness, Mexico 91; Gates,
Illinois 1,447; Gaumer, Yucatan 760; Gronemann, Illinois 125; Heller,

The Department of Geology received a number of valuable acces -
sions during the year by gift, some of which may be specially mentioned

ee Sr — as aE

162 Frerp Museum or Natura History — Reports, Vot. V.

as follows: Through a fund generously donated by Mr. William J.
Chalmers, about sixty specimens of crystals have been added to the
Chalmers collection. Up to this time this collection, which was first
exhibited at the Paris Exposition of 1900, had received only a few
additions, but the increase made this year and the announced inten-
tion of Mr. Chalmers to continue its active enlargement, will result
in forming a very superior collection. Among the specimens added
to the collection this year was a well-formed octahedron of diamond
from South Africa nearly an inch in length and weighing 209/16 carats.
Through the kind offices of Mr. Chalmers also, a donation of 108 speci-
mens of the copper ores and minerals of the Chuquicamata district in
Chile was received from the Chile Exploration Company of Chuqui-
camata, Chile. The series presented includes specimens of oxide ores from

the veins, sulphide ores from the veins, and oxide, sulphide and mixed |

ores from the steam-shovel workings. Chalcocite, enargite, chalcopy-
rite, bornite, malachite, cuprite, brochantite, kréhnkite and atacamite
are among the minerals represented. By thus affording a representation

of the ores of one of the most notable copper districts of the world,

this series forms an important addition to the collection. Mr. W. J.
Chalmers was also instrumental in securing from the St. John del Rey
Mining Company, Ltd., of Morro Velho, Brazil, through Mr. George
Chalmers, Superintendent, a series numbering about forty specimens,

of the ores and rocks of some of the chief gold mines in Brazil. The ©

series received included typical ores and rocks of the Morro Velho
mine, well known as the deepest gold mine in the world; a full repre-
sentation of the gold and iron ores of the Gongo Secco and Serro do
Curral mines showing especially the peculiar itabirite and jacutinga
ores; and specimens of gold ores and country rocks from the Cuyaba
and Raposos mines. Full descriptions and a map accompanied the
specimens. These series add much of value to the Museum ore collec-
tions. A large collection containing many attractive specimens, con-
sisting chiefly of copper minerals from mines in the Lake Superior
district, but including also important specimens of Arizona copper
minerals, Cripple Creek gold ores, etc., was presented by Nathan F.
and Alfred F. Leopold. A specimen of sheet copper partly removed
from the matrix, a sickle-shaped mass of copper over two feet in length
showing many crystal planes, and an unusual specimen of malachite,
are perhaps the most remarkable things in the collection. There are
also included specimens of many kinds of occurrences of native copper,
many of them crystallized, of calcite and copper, tellurides of gold,
arsenides of copper, amethyst, etc. As many of the specimens were
obtained from mines or localities no longer accessible, they have an

added value and importance on this account. This collection numbered
450 specimens. Through the kindness of Mr. Alpheus F. Williams,
General Manager of the De Beers Consolidated Mines Company of
Kimberley, South Africa, there was received from that Company an
interesting collection showing the rocks and minerals which accompany
the diamond in its occurrence at Kimberley. Some of the minerals, such
as zircon, olivine and garnet, received in this collection were of gem
quality. Specimens of the concentrates from which the diamond is
obtained were also included. The rocks received included melaphyre,
eclogite, shale, diabase, ‘‘blue ground,” and others indicating the char-
acter of the formation from which the diamonds are obtained. Another
valuable gift received was a collection of about 3,600 specimens of
invertebrate fossils and minerals from Charles F. Rauchfuss. The fos-
sils were principally from formations of Chester age in southern Illinois,
a region which before had been little represented in the collections.
The series of Pentremites and Archimedes in this collection was espe-
cially large and comprehensive, the Pentremites numbering nearly a
thousand specimens representing five determined and several un-
determined species, and the Archimedes numbering about one hundred
specimens representing at least ten species. A large series numbering
about one thousand specimens representing more than seventy-five
species of fossil brachiopods from the Chester and other formations was
also included, and there were about four hundred specimens represent-
ing seventy-five species of fossil corals chiefly from the Falls of the
Ohio. A number of producers of bog marl and similar substances used
in the manufacture of Portland cement in neighboring states, kindly
donated specimens of this material in order to increase the representa-
tion of these products in the Museum. The courtesy of the following
firms is gratefully acknowledged in this connection: Peerless Portland
Cement Company, New Egyptian Portland Cement Company, Neway-
go Portland Cement Company, New Aetna Portland Cement Company
Peninsular Portland Cement Company, and Wolverine Portland Cement
Company. Small collections of ores and minerals were presented by
Mrs. J. B. Ludlow and C. W. Pomeroy. Mr. Fred Patee presented a
number of specimens of highly modified hematite crystals from a new
locality in New Mexico. Several valuable accessions were received
through exchange. From Yale University there were thus received a
beautifully preserved skull with jaws and a partial skeleton of the short-
legged, aquatic rhinoceros, Teleoceras. This was from the well-known
locality at Long Island, Kansas. Besides its excellent state of preserva-
tion the form is of interest as being that of the last representative of the
rhinoceros family in America. From Amherst College there was received

164 Fietp Museum or Natura. History — Reports, VoL. V.

by exchange a partial skeleton of the fossil camel Stenomylus from
Nebraska, and a pair of jaws and pelvis of Leontina, a large South
American ungulate. A well-preserved skull of the Permian reptile,
Diplocaulus, was obtained from the University of Chicago by exchange.
From W. T. Watkin-Brown of Sydney, Australia, twenty-two specimens
of Australian minerals were received by exchange. These included rare
examples of native bismuth, bismuthinite, molybdenite and feldspars
such as ordinarily cannot be readily obtained. Eleven specimens of an
interesting occurrence of pyrite from Rolla, Missouri, were obtained
from R. S. Dean by exchange, and a brilliant specimen of artificial
bismuth crystals from William Thum by the same means. Twenty
specimens of minerals were purchased, the most important being two
showy specimens of violet apatite crystals from Maine and two large
specimens of the newly discovered vanadium minerals hewettite and
meta-hewettite. Among specimens acquired by collection may be
mentioned 432 specimens of the Colby meteorite and twenty-four speci-
mens of sand-carved boulders from Maine.

A noteworthy acquisition in the Department of Zoology during the
year was the donation, from Mrs. Anna Sala Makovickyi of Oak Park,
Illinois, of a collection containing approximately 2,700 domestic and
exotic butterflies, moths and beetles gathered by her former husband,
Mr. August Sala. Mr. Hugh T. Birch of Chicago presented to the
Museum a cabinet of drawers containing 258 specimens of butterflies
moths and beetles, mainly from Colombia, S$. A. To Mr. B. Preston
Clark of Boston, the Museum is again indebted for some very desirable
additions to its series of sphinx moths. The specimens of mammals
received from the Collins-Day South American Expedition were acces-
sioned during the year. The synoptic collection of mammals received
a number of additions, mostly of species of small size. These include
the Cape Jumping Hare, Parry’s Ground Squirrel, Zulia Squirrel,
Redwood Chipmunk, Prairie Hare, Roof Rat, White-footed Mouse,
Red-backed Mouse, and Lemming Mouse. A few specimens of mam-
mals, from French Guiana, were purchased. An important accession
of birds was secured by purchase from W. H. Rosenberg of London,
England, consisting of 404 skins, representing many rare species
from South America, nearly all of which were new to the Museum
collection. Mr. T. L. Hankinson donated an interesting series of fresh-
water fishes from Cuba and Florida, and Mr. Paul D. Ruthling
presented some salamanders and lizards from southern California.

An important accession consists of specimens of fishes, amphibians, and

reptiles from California collected by the Assistant Curator. In this
consignment were included the most complete single collection of tide

JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 165

pool fishes ever made in that state, and a series of desirable fishes, mostly
from Japan, presented by Stanford University. The accessions may be
summarized as follows: Purchases: 41 mammals and 404 birds; By
gift: 169 mammals, 5 birds, 1 nest and eggs, 213 fishes, 3,000 insects
and 223 shells; By exchange: 6 fishes; By expeditions: 379 fishes and
180 insects.

EXPEDITIONS AND FIELD Work. — Several short trips were made by
the various members of the staff of the Department of Botany to
Indiana and northern Illinois, for the purpose of obtaining living plant
material for the Section of Reproduction. The Curator accompanied
by an assistant made a day’s trip to the interesting lake shore region
between Waukegan and Beach, Illinois, on which they collected 56
plants for the herbarium. Preparator Lansing visited the Galena region,
in Jo Daviess County, Illinois, collecting 205 plants for the herbarium
and 414 for exchange purposes.

A trip was made by the Curator of Geology to Colby, Wisconsin, in
order to secure specimens of the meteorite which fell there on July 4th.
By excavating the soil at the point of fall the Curator succeeded in
collecting about 20 pounds of the meteorite in the form of fragments
which had been naturally formed by its shattering in striking the earth.

There were 432 fragments so obtained, someofthembeing over1oograms |

in weight. A large piece of a second individual, which fell about half
a mile distant, was also secured. In addition photographs were made
at the point of fall and descriptions of the phenomena of the fall obtained
from a number of eye-witnesses. A remarkable deposit of wind-carved
boulders in Maine was visited by the Curator and twenty-four speci-
mens illustrating typical results of wind-action collected from the
deposits. Some specimens illustrating glacial river phenomena were also
collected in the same vicinity and about thirty photographs illustrating
glacial phenomena made. The Assistant Curator of Geology spent ten
days at Natural Bridge, Virginia, securing material and data for a model
of the Natural Bridge. Besides taking more than one hundred photo-
graphs, he made a stadia survey of the region and plane-table surveys
of portions of special importance. It is expected that with this data
it will be possible to make a model which will be an accurate and faithful
replica of Nature. The survey made by the Assistant Curator is, so
far as known, the first detailed survey of the Bridge that has been accom-
plished since that conducted by Thomas Jefferson shortly after the close
of his term as President. The courtesy and codperation of Mr. T. H.
Gurney of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad contributed materially to
the success of the undertaking, as did also that of Mr. J. A. Mundy,
President of the Bridge Company, who arranged for free admission to

Si

H

the Bridge grounds, and provided the services of one of his employees as
rodman. The Assistant Curator also spent two days in the northern
Illinois lake region making detailed studies of the floating bogs of these
lakes and their peat and marl deposits, in order to obtain data for
making a model of a glacial lake. Besides the study material brought in,
some additions to the permanent collections were thus procured.

In October the Assistant Curator of Ichthyology and Herpetology,
accompanied by Taxidermist Pray, spent nearly two weeks in Wis-
consin collecting material for exhibition purposes, the work being carried
on along the Mississippi River, chiefly on Lake Pepin. 60 specimens for
mounting were obtained, representing twenty-seven of the important
food fishes of the Mississippi Valley. This material will cover the
larger part of at least one side of a panel case, and will serve as the
basis of three or four groups, for which the accessory material was also
gathered. The success of this expedition depended to a considerable
degree upon the codperation of certain members of the Association of
Commercial Fishermen and Clammers. Upon the request of the
Association, the Museum sent as a loan a collection of twenty-two
mounted food fishes, with labels, to the annual meeting of this organiza-
tion held in La Crosse on November 30th. The fishes were also exhibited
in the High School of that city. On three different occasions the lagoon
in Jackson Park, adjacent to the Museum, was seined and numerous
specimens were obtained, some of which have been mounted for exhibi-
tion. The Assistant Curator has collected a considerable number of
local fishes, amphibians, and reptiles in the vicinity of Chicago while
engaged in his work for the exhibition series. Frequent one-day trips
were made and one week in August was spent in the sand dunes of
Indiana collecting material for this Division. As soon as the summer
had advanced sufficiently to make collecting profitable, a number of
field trips were made for insect group material by the Assistant Curator
of Entomeology and his assistant. For this purpose Palos Park, Illinois,
was visited at intervals in order to obtain specimens, particularly
dragonflies, and accessories for a group illustrating the insect life
of ponds. To represent the most conspicuous insects found in the
vicinity of small, running streams, the region between New Lenox and
Joliet was likewise visited at intervals. Toward the end of summer
several trips were made to Edgebrook and other nearby places for
material suitable for a group of tomato worm moths. Several days
were also spent at Miller, Indiana, in order to secure the insects and
accessories typical of sand areas, but, as the collecting season had already
well advanced, it was not possible to secure a series of some of the early
stages of the most characteristic forms. Asa result of these trips enough

material, including accessories and photographs suitable for back-
grounds, has been obtained for two, probably three, habitat groups and
one of an economic nature. In addition to the group material, a
number of duplicate specimens were gathered for the serial collection.

INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT. — All instal-
lation of cases in the Department of Anthropology during the year
was carried on systematically with strict regard to conditions in the
new building and in accordance with the newly adopted and approved
plan of arrangement in the new quarters. The principle of avoiding
duplication as far as possible and setting quality above quantity has
been applied consistently. Duplicate material is now divided into two
groups, designated as study and exchange collections. The study
collections are treated on the same basis as the public exhibits, receiving
the same care and attention, and will be made accessible to specialists
and students. Detailed lists have been prepared of all collections
- available for exchange. A total of 55 cases has been installed, six of
these being four-foot cases, and nearly all of them being completely
labeled. The material installed in these cases is distributed over the
various divisions as follows: Melanesian Ethnology 1 case; Philippine
Ethnology 37 cases; American Ethnology 3 cases; Mexican Archaeology
5 cases; Jewelry of India 1 case; Japanese Sword-Guards 2 cases; and
Egyptian Archaeology 6 cases. The case added to the Joseph N. Field
Hall illustrates hunting, fishing and miscellaneous industries of New
Britain. As soon as the cataloguing of the collections from New Guinea,
now under way, is completed, the installation of this Hall will be
rounded out. In accordance with the new policy laid down for instal-
lation and following the definite assignment of space in the new building,
the Philippine collections were carefully overhauled so as to bring out
to greatest advantage the characteristic traits of the various tribes
without needless duplication of material. This necessitated the re-
organization and relabeling of a large part of the cases on exhibition.
However, the results are gratifying; the number of exhibition cases
having been reduced from 127 to 79 without any characteristic culture
being omitted, and without any essential features being sacrificed.
Many labels have been rewritten, and much new information added,
while the exhibits in their general appearance have been greatly im-
proved, and, owing to the process of condensation, have gained in clear
and direct representation. Various re-arrangements were further made
in eight cases, and labels were added to about.ten others. All cases of
the Philippine collection were placed in new order according to the
geographical distribution of tribes. The duplicate material withdrawn
from exhibition has been divided into two groups; one for study pur-

poses and the other for exchange. A life-size group of six figures has
been completed and is ready for exhibition in the new building. This
group illustrates the production of cloth by the Bagobo of Mindanao
in the various stages of manufacture, from the stripping of the so-called
Manila hemp (Musa textilis), through the overtying and dyeing of the
threads, to the weaving and polishing of the cloth. It will be an inter-
esting addition to the Philippine Hall. The labeling of the African col-
lection installed last year was completed during the summer. One case
of Hopi head-dresses for ceremonial occasions has been installed in the
East Court. Additional accessions of Hupa, Yurok and Karok festival
dress and head plumes have necessitated the expansion of the old case
containing varied ceremonial paraphernalia into two cases, one of
woman’s festival attire, and the other of costumes grouped according
to the dances in which they were used. The entire Mexican collection
is now being overhauled, grouped according to culture areas and tribes,
and permanently installed. Specimens not selected for exhibition are
reserved as study collections, and duplicates are listed for possible
future exchange. The receipt of the Pershing Collection has neces-
sitated a reinstallation of the two cases of Casas Grandes pottery pre-
sented last year by Mr. Homer E. Sargent, in order to permit a com-
bination of the two as an integral unit. In addition have been installed
a case of archaeological material from the Totonac and Huaxtec region
of Vera Cruz, containing the well-sculptured stone yokes typical of this
region, a four-foot case containing the best large stone sculptures from
the Valley of Mexico from various collections, and two cases illustrating
the ethnology of the Tarahumare, Tepehuane, and Tarascan, principally
from the Lumholtz Collection. All cases are completely labeled as
installed. Jewelry collected by G. A. Dorsey in British India has been
installed in a wall-case of the Gem Room. The Gunsaulus collection of
Japanese sword-guards and sword-fittings, described in the last annual
report, has been installed in two standard cases, temporarily placed in
Alcove 122 of the North Court. One of the cases contains 468 objects,
the other 373, arranged on narrow shelves in such a way that each piece
can be plainly viewed and studied from both sides. This is important,
as the majority of sword-guards are decorated or inscribed both on the
obverse and reverse. For this reason, each sword-guard had to be
supplied with two labels, one explaining the obverse, the other the
reverse. There is reason to believe that this is the first attempt in any
museum to display sword-guards in a rational and intelligent manner.
In general, a chronological principle of arrangement has been adopted,
but within the various periods groups of art-schools and subjects are
singled out, so that this material becomes a fit object-lesson for the

_

study of the development of Japanese design and art-motives. Plans
have been laid out for the re-organization of the Egyptian collection
and its adaptation to the new sutroundings, for which the old-style
cases proved unfit. Six standard cases are now completed, and comprise
stone tomb tablets, portrait statuary, and statuettes, vases carved
from alabaster and other stone, and pottery, the latter filling two
cases. One of these contains vessels of the Prehistoric Empire, of
Ptolemaic and Roman times, along with amphorae and ostraca col-
lected by Mr. Ayer. The other case comprises Greek, Cypriote and
Coptic pottery, Roman vessels and lamps of clay, Menas flasks and
other amphorae. All this material is now displayed to greater advantage
and in conformity with modern methods. On January 11, Hall 11
adjoining the South Court was vacated to make room for the storage
of publications, which required a re-arrangement and adjustment of the
cases illustrating the ethnology of the Kwakiutl and Tlingit. The house-
posts and 3 cases were placed in Hall 12. One case of Athapascan
ethnology from Alcove 109, South Court, was placed in Hall 4. Two
cases from Hall 11 were transferred to Alcove 109, South Court. One
case from Hall 11 was removed to Alcove 111, South Court, along with
a Tlingit case from Alcove 1o9. The case showing house-models was
placed in Hall 10. Material from Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, and
Bolivia was placed in storage in Hall 69. After the new arrangement of
the Philippine section, the East Annex was cleared of all new or vacant
cases, scattered around in the various halls, and those are now con-
centrated in Hall 37. Four old Geology cases containing pottery and
Gilbert Island armor of the Joseph N. Field Collections were stripped
of their contents which were placed in permanent storage cases in Hall
68. The requisitioned cases were transferred to other departments of
the Museum. The two Peabody wall-cases in Alcove 122, North Court,
containing collections from India, were stored in Halls 68 and 60.
Other material from India, including the wooden carvings long stored
in the East Annex, has been placed in permanent storage in Hall 60.
The contents of six standard cases of the oldest type in Hall 4, con-
taining Eskimo ethnology, was transferred to standard cases of more
recent make. The former cases will be used in the display of Mexican
archaeology now being installed. As fast as the Peabody cases in the
East Court have been vacated for re-installation, they have been used
for storage in the West Annex of all study and exchange material,
thus housing the specimens in less space and more safely than here-
tofore. Re-arrangements were made in 9 cases, and 61 cases were
poisoned. Over 600 specimens, chiefly from the South Sea Islands,
Philippine Islands, Egypt and Mexico, were repaired or treated dur-

170 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VOL. V.

ing the year. More than 11,000 new numbers have been marked on
specimens. ;

In the Department of Botany the following 14 cases have been
installed, labeled in full, and placed on exhibition: Of the American
Forestry Series: Pride-of-China tree, Oregon Yew; Garry’s Oak, Buck-
wheat tree; Hercules’ club, Oregon Elder; Service tree, Southern Cherry;
Oregon Crab-apple, Bitter Cherry; Sitka Willow, Wild Crab-apple;
Myrtle Oak, Wild Plum; Devil-wood, Georgia Bark; Striped Maple,
Mountain Laurel; Vine Maple, Yaupon. Of the Systematic Series:
Two cases displaying the characteristic products and utilization of Sea-
weeds; one case illustrating the economic products of the Soapwort
family; and one case devoted to the botany and economics of the
Spikenard family. A number of cases have been reinstalled to accom-
modate plant reproductions or new and specially interesting specimens.
In many instances installed cases have been rearranged to better display
their contents. Through the interest and munificence of Mr. Stanley
Field, the Section of Plant Reproduction was reéstablished, in con-
nection with the Department of Botany. Five well-lighted connecting
laboratories were constructed in the West Annex of the Museum
building designed to accommodate a Biologist, a Glass-worker, an
Artist, an Assembler, and a Caster in wax and plaster. —The rooms were
finished and equipped with apparatus in February. Dr. Dahlgren, the
former Biologist in charge, accepted the Assistant Curatorship of
Economic Botany in March, and the Museum succeeded in selecting
and organizing the working staff on the lines previously employed in
this unique and representative work. The training of the staff, each
in his special craft, began about the middle of March and actual opera-
tions began the first of April. The end of the year finds the following
reproductions completed and installed: The Pine Family: a specially
preserved natural branch of Georgia Pine, accompanied by an enlarged
male ament, a highly magnified anther, an enlarged female “‘cone”’
and magnified pistillate scale. The Pitcher-Plant Family: a complete,
natural-size plant of Sarracenia 7m situ in bog-moss, a separate flower
opened to show the arrangement of the reproductive organs, and two
enlarged sections of the ovary. The Grass Family: a panicle and
enlarged spikelet of Oats, accompanied by an enlarged flower at anthesis
and a highly enlarged developing grain. The Cactus Family: a com-
plete, natural-size plant of the Dune Cactus in flower, young bud and

large Castor-bean plant in full leaf, flower and ripe fruit; associated
with enlarged models of a male cluster and female flower in section and
a transverse section of the ovary. The Waterlily Family: a strikingly
natural portion of a “Lotus bed” comprising life-size leaves in all
stages of expansion, developing flower-buds, fruits and fully expanded
flowers. The Mahogany Family: a natural-size branch of the Mahogany
tree in full leaf and ripe fruit. The Dog’s-Bane Family: a complete
natural-size top of an Oleander bush with three branches in full flower
and one in ripening fruit; associated with this is an enlarged flower of
the Dog’s bane sectioned to reveal the peculiar arrangement of the
essential organs, and a transverse section of the ovary. The Blue-
Green Algae: a model, in glass, of Nostoc (highly magnified) and a sim-
ilarly produced model of Rivularia. The Green Algae: a complete
natural-size reproduction, in glass, of a species of Caulerpa. During the
period of production of the above the following reproductions and
models were in process and are now nearing completion: A natural-size
plant of Poison Ivy, in full leaf and flower, and an autumnal branch in
full ripe fruit and colorate leaf; a large portion of a Trumpet-creeper
vine in full leaf, flower and fruit; the terminal portion of a Bittersweet
vine in full autumnal foliage and ripe fruit and a small branch in flower;
a large branch of Witch-hazel in autumnal foliage, ripe fruit and flower;
a large branch of the Sassafras tree in full leaf and fruit; and a complete
male plant of Nepenthes in leaf, pitcher and flower. Accessory repro-
ductions of specialized fruits, with a leaf or two attached to the stems,
are produced as opportunity offers. Of these the Cocoon Fruit (Fevillea),
of the Melon family, has been finished and installed; and the peculiar
fruits of the Sausage Tree and the Wax Candle tree are in process.
All the reproductions and models are made from living plants only and
are fabricated from such materials as are permanent and will best
simulate the transparency, freshness and texture of each special organ.
In order that the full character of this work may be comprehended in
this connection a recapitulation of the work accomplished previous to
Mr. Field’s contribution for the maintenance of the Section, may not
be out of place in this report. The other plant families now represented,
aside from the above, are: The Orchid Family: a complete, natural-
size Vanilla vine, in full leaf, flower and mature fruit, accompanied by
a large Cattleya flower and enlarged essential organs; The Milkweed

A number of objects and collections in the Department of Geology
have been installed in various halls, but as heretofore, owing to lack of
space, this has been accomplished in most cases only by removal of
other series which had previously been on exhibition. By some readjust-
ments in Skiff Hall, a floor case containing about fifty of the largest
specimens of copper from Lake Superior presented by Nathan F. and
Alfred F. Leopold was installed. Before installation of these specimens
they were thoroughly cleaned by immersion in sodium cyanide and
then carefully coated with shellac by means of an air brush so that
they could not again tarnish. At the same time the opportunity was
improved to give a similar treatment to a number of other speci-
mens of native copper and silver. The valuable collection of Lake

JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 175

Superior minerals which for a number of years had been loaned to
the Museum by the late Frank McM. Stanton was, owing to the
decease of Mr. Stanton, returned to Mrs. Stanton at her request. In
the space thus vacated, the collection of Chuquicamata, Chile, copper
ores, received during the year, and a series of Bolivia copper ores were
installed. By removal of less important specimens there were also
installed in this hall the series of gold and iron ores and accompanying.
rocks from Brazil presented by Mr. George Chalmers, and a series of
specimens representing the ores of the Chloride, Arizona, district. In
order to provide greater security, the more valuable part of the platinum
collections was transferred from this hall to Higinbotham Hall. This
has relieved the previously overcrowded condition of the case which
contained these specimens, and permitted better display of those of
less intrinsic value. In order to provide space for the exhibition of two
models which had recently been constructed, part of the synoptic fossil
collection was removed from Hall 35 and the models installed in the
space thus left. The models were constructed by the Assistant Curator.
One illustrates the processes of extinction of a glacial lake, the other
represents the relation of soil to rock in a glaciated region. The model
illustrating the extinction of a glacial lake was constructed to explain
the operation of those agents which are causing the gradual obliteration
of numerous small lakes of glacial origin which are scattered through

the moraine belt of the country and are especially numerous in parts

of Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. Incidentally the nature and origin
of the lake marl deposits are shown, as well as the mode of formation of
the peat beds of the Upper Mississippi Valley. These beds are some-
what different in origin from those commonly described in text books.
As it was found that no single lake was adapted to show these features
properly in a model of suitable size, the model was made as a composite
of a number of small Illinois and Wisconsin lakes with which the
Curators were familiar. The model is made of Portland cement rein-
forced with expanded metal. It is five feet long, nineteen inches wide
and two feet high. It was designed for installation on the floor of a
deep wall case. The scale is 30 feet to the inch, which is small enough
so that a considerable area can be represented and yet large enough to
show vegetation in some detail. On the upper surface, the model shows
half of a disappearing lake lying in a gravel and rock basin. The original
shores of the lake appear where the hills meet the swamp which forms
the present shore. From this original shore a swamp extends for a
considerable distance towards the center. The two ordinary characters
of shore marshes are shown in an open marsh of rushes and sedges on
one side, and on the other side a cedar and tamarack swamp. Beyond

176 Frertp Musrum or NaturaAt History — Reports, VoL. V.

these there extends over the lake a fringe of floating bog, composed of
a mat of rushes and sedges floating on the lake surface and attached to
the shore. Beyond the floating bog, water is shown and on its surface
appear representations of aquatic vegetation, such as lilies, bulrushes,
etc., which grow in orderly, but sometimes broken sequence from the
shore outward. On the bottom of the lake appear masses of water weeds
also in zones, each kind of weed contributing its detritus to the masses
of calcareous and organic material which slowly fill the lake. The front
of the model shows a section of the lakeandits adjoining ground. Thelake
bottom has also been modeled and may be seen through the representation
of the lake water. This section shows at the sides and bottom the original
gravel and rock basin of the lake. The peat and muck formed from the
remains of aquatic vegetation extend towards the center from the sides.
The floating bog also appears in section, and the underlying peat formed
from the vegetable remains dropped from the rush mat is represented.
Masses of bladderwort and similar water plants and the peat derived
from them are shown in their proper position, as well as the lime-
secreting algae and charas growing over the grayish-white marl which
they are supposed to have formed on the lake bottom. The model
illustrating the relation of soil and rock in glaciated regions is intended
to show that in a glacial region the contour of the surface of the soil has
no relation to the form of the rock surface below. The model is made
of Portland cement laid on expanded metal. It is three feet long, one
foot wide, and thirty-two inches high. The scale is 30 feet to the inch.
It represents a region such as exists in the agricultural districts south-
west of Chicago. The upper surface of the model represents a slightly
rolling country with cultivated fields, pastures, farm buildings and a
road. The front of the model shows a section through the soil and the
rock below. The surface soil is represented lying on a mass of till, which
in turn rests upon horizontally bedded limestone. The upper surface
of the limestone is represented as having been carved in pre-glacial
times to a very rugged topography, but the peaks and valleys of this
tock topography are seen to have no bearing whatever on the contour
of the gently rolling surface above. In order to bring the peat collections
opposite the model illustrating the mode of formation of peat, the table
cases in Hall 35 were rearranged, and in the case illustrating the occur-
rence of diamond, a new series of minerals and rocks associated with
the occurrence of the South African diamonds was installed. In making
this installation there was placed in the center of the collection a large
label with a cut representing a cross-section of the Kimberley deposit.
From appropriate places on this label white silk threads were extended
to specimens of the corresponding rocks. Beyond these, specimens of

JAN., 1918. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 177

the minerals which are associated with the diamonds of the deposit
were placed in a series of trays. In addition, the exhibit as at present
displayed includes large samples of the Kimberley ‘‘blue ground” and
a specimen of diamond in the matrix. The installation of the meteorite
collection has been somewhat rearranged during the year and a number
of improvements made. The pyramids of three of the cases containing
stone meteorites were remodeled, in order to better display the speci-
mens. For this purpose the specimens were first removed and then
reinstalled. A border left by etching on a large number of specimens
of the iron meteorites as they were received was found to be misleading
to visitors, as it appeared to represent a natural feature. Accordingly
fifty-two of these specimens have been repolished and reétched.
Exhibition labels have been provided for the entire meteorite collec-
tion, and about six hundred were installed during the year. Adjacent
to the meteorite collection, a series of terrestrial irons has been put
on exhibition, the series including a number of specimens of the Santa
Catharina and Greenland irons and awaruite from several localities.
Two terrestrial globes prepared by the Assistant Curator to show special
features, were added to the exhibition series of maps. One of these
globes is colored to show the geological age of the different portions of
the earth’s surface about which the data are known, and upon the other
are indicated the areas of the earth which are subject to earthquakes.
The data for the geological globe were based largely on the well-known
map by Jules Marcou with some corrections and additions. The colors
chosen to represent the different periods were selected to give a pleasing
effect and provide contrast without harshness. On the earthquake globe
the land and water are shown in light colors and the earthquake regions
are represented in a strongly contrasting dark shade. The zonal dis-
tribution of regions subject to earthquakes is thus well brought out.
As the large skull of Triceratops in Hall 36 was found to be undergoing
injury on account of vibration caused by the passing of heavy objects,

it was removed to a less exposed location in Hall 33. Two floor cases of

Jurassic fossils were moved from Hall 33 to Hall 36 in order to occupy
the vacated space and some other adjustments of cases in this hall
were made so as to give better lighting. The skeleton of the fossil wolf
from the Los Angeles asphalt beds, which was mounted during the year,
was installed in a case in Hall 36 with other specimens from these beds.
The skeleton as mounted represents the animal stepping from an
apparently firm mixture of asphalt and soil into a soft asphalt from which
it was unable to escape. In a floor case in Hall 59 a skeleton of a saber-
tooth tiger from the same deposit was placed on exhibition in a dis-
articulated form, so that its osteological characters may be readily

studied. A full series of labels was provided with which white silk
threads extending from each element to its label indicate definitely the
several parts. The contents of several cases in Hall 59, containing
chiefly vertebrate Miocene fossils, were rearranged, largely in order to
admit new specimens which had been worked out in the laboratory.
The most important of these was a mount of the posterior half of a
skeleton of the rare Oligocene aquatic rhinoceros, Metamynodon. This
was mounted in relief on a slab three and one-half by five feet in size,
the texture and color of the slab being made to imitate as far as possible
the matrix from which the bones were taken. Each bone was also
mounted so as to be easily removed from the slab whenever this may
be desired for purposes of study, or otherwise. Other newly prepared
specimens installed in these cases were, skulls and lower jaws of the
rare Oligocene ungulate, Protoceras celer, and the same of the Oligocene
suilline, Perchoerus. The large model of jaws of the fossil shark ex-
hibited in Hall 60, was found to be undergoing injury on account of too
much handling by visitors. It was accordingly removed to an alcove
and a railing placed in front of it. The position of others of the large
mounts in this hall was also changed in order to give wider passageways
and better protection. In this connection the opportunity was improved
to repair injuries which had been caused to many of the large mounts
in this or adjoining halls by too great inquisitiveness of visitors.
Mounts so repaired included those of the Glyptodon, Hadrosaurus,
Colossochelys, Uintatherium, Carcharodon and Mastodon. The large
case of Miocene fossils formerly in Hall,60 was moved to Hall 61 and
the skull and partial skeleton of Teleoceras received during the year
as well as some smaller specimens were installed in wall cases in
the same hall. Work in the paleontological laboratory was hindered
by the absence of the preparator during a large part of the year, but
nevertheless a number of valuable specimens were either worked out or
mounted, or both. Among the specimens thus prepared in the laboratory
during the year were the Metamynodon, Protoceras and Perchoerus
mounts already mentioned, a skull and jaws of Parahippus, portions of
a skeleton of Megacerops, a number of canine teeth of the saber-tooth
tiger and bones of the Mammoth. Some specimens received in exchange
also were given treatment necessary to insure their better preservation.

In reclassifying the serial or synoptic collection of mammals in the
Department of Zoology, many duplicates were eliminated and various
other specimens, which it is now evident will not meet the standards or
needs of the installations planned for the new Museum building, have
been transferred to the reference collection or disposed of otherwise.
Among these are a considerable number of mounted mammals prepared

a good many years ago, before the greatly improved methods of taxi-
dermy now in use had been perfected. In many instances these speci-
mens have been replaced by others of the same species of better quality.
Following this a reinstallation was made of part of the synoptic collec-
tion including especially the smaller ungulates as the wild sheep, goats,
and antelopes. These have been placed in twelve new cases of special
design adopted as a standard to be followed for the remainder of the
synoptic collection of mammals. The new cases have the general
dimensions and appearance of the cases used throughout the Department
of Zoology but are modified for the especial display of large and medium-
size mammals by having slightly higher bases and by the use of single
plates of glass in the sides without interrupting mouldings. The length
of these cases is approximately 12 feet, the width 4 feet, and the height
8 feet. For smaller mammals a case of the same length and width but

much reduced height was necessary and two such cases were satis-

factorily installed; one with pigmy deer and antelopes and the other
with wolves and foxes. Although work has progressed on several groups
of mammals, none have been installed during the year. The most im-
portant mammal group under preparation is that of the American Bison,
made possible through the generosity of Mr. Arthur B. Jones. Marked
progress has been made with this group. Late in the winter of 1916
arrangements were made to obtain especially fine selected specimens
from the living bison in the well known Corbin herd maintained by the
Blue Mountain Forest Association of New Hampshire. At the proper
time, therefore, the Museum Taxidermist selected the animals and
prepared the skins and necessary parts of their skeletons together with
measurements and the data required in this connection. These excep-
tionally fine skins have been prepared by the skin dresser and are now
ready for use when needed. Meanwhile, a background was painted for
this group by Mr. C. A. Corwin, representing a scene near the last
stronghold of the bison in eastern Montana. This background is of
semi-elliptical design and of very large size to conform to a generously
proportioned case which, as planned, will be 28 feet wide, 14 feet deep,
and 15 feet high. After preliminary models in wax had been made, full
size manikins for the seven bison to be included in the group were
prepared. During the year the work on the artificial vegetation acces-
sory to the jaguar and capybara group was finally completed and this
group is therefore ready for installation. Under the Stanley Field
Ornithology Fund, three additional habitat groups of birds have been
completed and installed for exhibition, and a fourth is well advanced.
The completed groups are as follows: Group 1— Winter birds in
northern Illinois, showing a number of winter species, including Hairy

180 Firetp Museum or Natura History — Reports, VoL. V.

Woodpecker, White-breasted Nuthatch, Chickadee, Snow Bunting,
Blue Jay, some excited Crows have discovered a Screech Owl in a
hollow tree, and a Northern Shrike is shown surrounded by several
small birds (Redpolls, Siskins, etc.), which he has killed and placed on
thorns for future consumption. Group 2— A winter scene on shore of
Lake Michigan, showing ice and open water. The group includes Her-
ring Gulls, Surf Scoter, Long-tailed Duck or Old Squaw, and Red-
breasted Mergansers; all familiar birds in this locality at that season.
Group 3 — Bird Life at Fox Lake, Illinois. A summer scene, illustrating
the nesting habits of a number of the smaller marsh birds and includes
the Red-winged Blackbird, Yellow-headed Blackbird, Bank Swallow,
Black Tern, Gallinule, Virginia Rail, Sora Rail, Coot, and Least Bit-
tern. Many nests, eggs and young birds are shown. Thirty specimens
of local fishes were mounted. There was also prepared, from a skin in
liquid, an excellent mount of the monkey-fish, a strange eel-like creature
inhabiting the California reefs. The large mounted sword-fish, which
was literally falling to pieces, was remounted and put into such shape
as to make a suitable display. Some time was devoted to the formula-
tion of the best possible scheme for the display of fishes, amphibians, and
reptiles in the new Museum building, in order that the exhibition aspect
of the work in the Division might be most efficiently directed to that
end. The Division of Entomology primarily directed its efforts toward
the preparation of insects and insect groups for exhibition. A life-
history exhibit of the mulberry silk-worm, containing fifty specimens,
illustrating the various stages of the silk-worm, including the eggs,
larvae, cocoon, and moths, was mounted on a wax mulberry branch.
This life-history together with recently acquired photographs of the
silk-worm industry in Japan, and a selection of the enlarged models of
the same insect, are to be installed in one of the new A-cases. The
Assistant Curator assembled and determined all of the alcoholic repre-
sentatives of the scorpion, centipede and tarantula contained in the
Museum collection. This material was prepared for exhibition and
there are now ready for installation fifty-five mounts of these insects.
Some of the material collected during the year by this Division has
been prepared for exhibition and considerable progress has been made
in making the casts of leaves, larvae, etc., for the tomato worm case.
Satisfactory progress with the reinstallation of the shell collection was
made only during the first five months of the year, during which time
one case was filled and completed, while all of the shells still to be in-
stalled were remounted on new tablets, thus completing at least one
important phase of this work. A portion of the systematic exhibition
collection in osteology was reinstalled in cases released from the Division

of Mammalogy. 207 skulls were prepared and 4 skeletons were mounted
for the systematic collection. 9 skeletons were prepared for the un-
mounted collection of comparative osteology and 4 for the Division of
Mammalogy. 2 study specimens of skeletons of birds, a Saw-whet Owl
and Purple Martin, and two skulls of young Rabbits, were also prepared.

THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.

—In this Department of the Museum there are now available 534
cases for circulation among the public schools, while several groups
and a quantity of material are prepared and arranged ready for imme-
diate installation in cases. In order to provide storage facilities for
additional empty cases and for those already installed and for the
purpose of improving former methods of delivering cases to and re-
ceiving them from the car, it was necessary to rearrange and enlarge the
plan that was originally adopted for these purposes. The room devoted
to storage has been divided into four parts, each part being furnished
with racks and hooks for hanging the cases. Upon one group of racks
are hung cases containing botanical subjects; upon another group of
racks are hung cases containing geological material, and so on. At the
ends of the aisles of racks numbers are displayed, designating what
numbered cases are to be found in the aisles when selecting them for
delivery to the schools and where they are to be replaced when returned
from the schools. This arrangement will permit the storage of approxi-
mately 800 cases, and when the 250 cases, which have been ordered,
have been received, the limit of the storage capacity of this room will
have been reached. The ends of each case and the two general labels
which accompany it are lettered and numbered alike. This idea was
adopted as a simpler, quicker and a more dependable one for assigning,
recording and identifying cases, than by means of case titles or subjects,
which, of course, appear on the labels. By having greatly needed repairs
and improvements made upon the delivery car during the last school
vacation period, a stricter adherence of the daily schedule for the de-
livery and collection of cases is found possible than the condition of the
car last year permitted. This Department has received many letters
from principals and teachers similar to the one from the Principal of
the J. A. Sexton School, which is herewith submitted:

‘“‘I wish to express the thanks and appreciation of the pupils and
teachers of this school for the loan of the beautiful natural history cases
which are sent from the Museum. In a congested district like this they
are especially helpful, and they are a never failing source of pleasure
and instruction for us all.”

As an indication of the desire on the part of the Museum to increase
the usefulness of its Extension System, the Curator frequently has

182 Fre~p Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V.

requested principals and teachers to express their views ard opinions
as to ways by which the desire would be accomplished. Cases are being
loaned to 278 elementary schools and to their branches having a daily
enrollment of a hundred or more students. It has been found advisable
to increase the length of time allowed for cases to remain at one time in
a school from two to three weeks. This extension in the duration of the
loan period, not only gives the pupils an additional week for observation
and study of the cases, but enables the Department to arrange and
maintain a reliable schedule for the delivery and collection of cases.
To accomplish this it was necessary to divide the schools in four sections
and to form groups of schools in each section. At the beginning of the
scholastic year the circulation of cases starts with the delivery of three
cases from the Museum to each of the first group of schools located in
what is designated as the first section. After each school in each group
of the first section has been loaned three cases, deliveries are made in
a similar way to schools of the third section. Three school weeks are
required for the delivery of cases to the first school of the first group
located in the first section to the last school in the last group of the third
section. When these deliveries have been made, the cases are collected
from these sections in the order in which they were delivered and
distributed to groups of schools located in the second and fourth sections
respectively. This system is maintained throughout the school period.
By means of receipt cards the circulation record of each case is kept.
Each card besides bearing the same letter and number as shown on the
case and the labels which accompany it, has spaces for recording the
name of the school to which the case has been assigned, the signature
of the principal or teacher receiving it, the date it was received, the
number of pupils studying it and the length of time it was retained.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR.
1918

To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History:

I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum
for the year ending December 31, 1918.

The negotiations of the National Government to secure the new
‘Museum structure for hospital purposes, the contract to this end which
was entered into, the resulting increase in building operations in accord-
ance with the terms of the contract and the subsequent sudden cancella-
tion by the Government of the contract following the European armistice
had naturally a confusing and disturbing effect upon the affairs of the
Museum during the later part of the year. The preparations for the
transfer to the new building had been underway for sometime, but
work of this character was more actively prosecuted after the contract
with the Government had been entered into and the methods of packing
were altered in view of the expectation to store the material for several
years, or during the operation of the contract or lease. The probability
as now appears, that the transfer to the new building may take place
next year and possibly in the autumn, will require continued and
assiduous efforts in preparation for this event that will leave little else to
be done in the old building. The progress so far made and the methods
employed may be said to be satisfactory but not remarkable.

The Museum has felt the common influence of the war upon its
economic affairs and, operating upon a fixed income, has reduced its
expenditures as far as possible to the necessities of maintenance. The
high prices of fuel and of materials of every variety entering into the
every day affairs of the Institution have, except for reserves,
practically exhausted the annual receipts and left little to be
recorded in the way of new or progressive activities.

To what may be ascribed the large decrease in attendance is doubtful.
The public in some way appears to have gained the impression, which it
has not been easy to correct, that the present building has been closed or
was in a state of some confusion, because of preparations for immediate
removal to and storage of its contents in the new building, which was to
be used for three years as a Government hospital. This may be regarded
as one reason. Probably, however, the falling off in attendance has been
due very largely to the consuming interest of the public in the war and

220

in the circumstances reaching into every home immediately or indirectly
associated with it. People generally have not felt at sufficient ease and
unconcern to visit places of the character of the Museum for pleasure,
pastime or study. At the same time the extent of the decrease in attend-
ance, even with these allowances fully made, is still unaccountable.

President Field returned from his duties in France in September after
a year’s service. Trustee Sprague, Major of Infantry, has received his
discharge from the Army and has returned to Chicago. Trustee Marshall
Field, Captain of Artillery, is still on duty in France.

Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus, Pastor of the Central Church and President
of Armour Institute, accepted election as a member of the Board of
Trustees of the Museum, filling the vacancy caused by the death of —
Honorable George E. Adams. Mr. William Wrigley, Jr., prominent
manufacturer, has been elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Mr) Henry Field.

The general staff of the Museum saw fit to recognize the Twenty-
fifth Anniversary of the Director’s appointment by presenting him with
an engrossed Appreciation signed by the entire personnel; an act which
was sincerely appreciated by its recipient.

The Assistant Curator of Economic Botany with several laboratory
assistants transferred the activities of the Mrs. Stanley Field Plant Repro-
duction section to Miami, Florida, in October, where accommodations
were secured from the United States Agricultural Department in its
laboratory there, to carry on the work of reproducing the plants of that
section; the expedition expecting to be absent six months or more. Re-
ports from Assistant Curator Dahlgren reflect a gratifying outcome of
this enterprise.

Acknowledgment is made of the contributions of funds from Mrs. T.B.
Blackstone and from Mr. Charles R. Crane, to defray the cost of a
publication in the Museum series by Curator Laufer of the Department
of Anthropology, entitled: ‘‘Sino-Iranica; Chinese Contributions to
the History of the Civilization of Ancient Jran.”’

Somewhat extensive reference is made elsewhere in this report to the
Japanese painting presented to the Museum by Trustee Gunsaulus;
a most valuable gift from both an ethnologic and artistic standpoint.

The Finance Committee of the Museum authorized an arrangement
to finance the subscriptions of the employes of the Institution to the
Third and Fourth Liberty Loan bond issues, under which arrangement a
most gratifying subscription resulted, both as to individuals and the
amounts taken.

The Museum sustained a signal loss in the death of Mr. Odell Edward
Lansing, Jr., Keeper-of-the-Herbarium, Department of Botany.

JAN., IQIQ. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 231

Mr. Lansing had been in the service of the Museum twenty-three years
during which his conscientious, untiring devotion to his work, and
cheerful presence, had endeared him to all his associates. He was a
diligent and discriminating collector, making his special field of labor
the Plant Life of the Chicago Basin, in Illinois and Indiana. To this he
devoted all his spare time and often his periods of vacation. He also
collected in various parts of Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, and in the
Ozark region of Missouri. In 1903, on a commission from the Museum,
he made a thorough and comprehensive botanical exploration of all the
sand keys of Florida from Key West westward. His original collections
(4,563 specimens) are preserved in the herbarium of the Museum, and
duplicates in various herbaria of America and Europe.

MAINTENANCE. — The annual Budget Authorized by the Board of
Trustees provided the sum of $158,496.00 for the maintenance of the
Museum for the fiscal year. The actual amount expended was $137,-
740.00, leaving a balance within the anticipated expenses for the year

_ of $20,756.00. In addition to the cost of maintenance the sum of
approximately $5,000.00 was expended for collections and packing sup-
plies, that brought the total to $142,740.00.

Pustications. — During the year four publications were issued, com-
prising parts of four volumes, details of which follow:

Pub. 197.— Zoological Series, Vol. XIII, Part II, No. 1. The Birds of
the Americas. By C. B. Cory. March 1918. 315 pages, 1
colored plate. Edition 1,150.

Pub. 198.— Zoological Series, Vol. XII, No. 2. Notes on Fishes from
the Athi River in British East Africa. By Carl L. Hubbs.
January 1918. 4 pages, 3 halftones. Edition 1,000.

Pub. 199.— Botanical Series, Vol. IV, No. 1. New Species?of Xan-
thium and Solidago. By C. F. Millspaugh and E. F. Sherff.
April 1918. 7 pages, 6 halftones. Edition 1,000.

Pub. 200.— Report Series, Vol. V, No. 3. Annual Report of the Direc-
tor for the year 1917. January 1918. 74 pages, 11 halftones.
Edition, 2,000.

These publications were distributed to individuals and institutions
whose names appear on the Domestic mailing list. On account of the
enhanced sea risk a few copies of the Annual Report only were sent
abroad.

THE Liprary.— The books and pamphlets accessioned during the year
were 1,484, a decrease from preceding years, but this is amply explained
by war conditions. In the interest of general economy and the desire
to coOperate with the War Industries Board in the saving of paper,
publishers have issued limited editions. Periodicals and serials that

232 Firetp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V.

had been previously received as gifts or exchanges were discontinued.
Foreign exchanges were scant and irregular. The total number of
books and pamphlets in the Library is 71,020, which are distributed as
follows:

Purchases were made of ene Bogle! fee for work in hand
in the departmental libraries. Among those received are: Crawford’s
History of the Indian Archipelago, 1820; Im Thurm’s Among the In-
dians of Guiana, 1884; Rickard’s Ruins of Mexico; Robelo’s Diccionario
de Aztequismos; Walters’ Ancient Pottery; Tutton’s Crystallography;
Pennant’s Synopsis of Quadrupeds, 1771. Through the continued
generosity of Mr. Edward E. Ayer, a handsomely bound and illustrated
copy of Lord Rothschild’s Extinct Birds, and continuations of Mat-
thews’ Birds of Australia were purchased for the Ayer Ornithological
Library. Mr. William S. McCrea donated a copy of Herrick’s Audubon
the Naturalist. Interesting additions were also received from Mr. Wil-
liam J. Chalmers, Mr. Charles L. Freer, Detroit, Mr. J. Nilsen Laurvik,
San Francisco, Mr. Elmer D. Merrill, Manila, Mr. Edward S. Morse,
Salem, Mr. James Weir, Missoula. The general activities of the Library
have continued in as earnest and energetic a manner as existing con-
ditions permitted. New work has not been undertaken during the year,
but the development of resources at hand has progressed. The steadily
rising cost of binding materials made it impractical to bind the usual
number of books, and only 227 periodicals and serials were bound during
the year. There were written and filed in the catalogues 15,612 cards.
Twelve monthly installments of approximately a thousand cards each
of the John Crerar Library were received and filed. Preparatory to
moving to the new building a general weeding out has been made of
literature no longer of use in the work of the Museum. Much of this
material had been accessioned before it was definitely determined that
the scope of the Museum would be confined to natural history. For
lack of shelf-room these books have been packed in boxes for some years.
What is of exchange value was checked off the records and repacked;
all duplicate material was carefully examined and what was of im-
portance for exchange purposes was also packed. All of these forty-
eight boxes were properly labeled and stored ready for shipment. What
was fit only for waste paper was sold. In all 1,780 numbers were checked
off the records, which reduces to 71,020 the total number of books and
pamphlets in the Library.

DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LABELING. — During the cur-
rent year the work of cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology
has been carried on as usual, and the total number of catalogue cards
prepared amounts to 5,441. These cards are distributed over the various
divisions as follows: China, India and Philippines 47; Melanesian
Ethnology 984; North American Ethnology 594; Mexican and South
American Archeology 598; and Physical Anthropology 3,218. All these
cards have been entered in the inventory books of the Department,
which now number 38. The number of annual accessions amounts to
16, of these 11 have been entered. The total number of catalogue cards
entered from the opening of the first volume amounts to 153,111. The
photographer made 63 negatives and supplied 503 prints to the De-
partment. There were added to the label file 224 new label cards. A
total number of 2,309 labels was turned out by the printer for use in the
exhibition cases of the Department. These labels are distributed as
follows: China and Philippines 20; Melanesian Ethnology 129; and
‘Mexican and South American Archeology 2,160. The printer further
supplied the Department with 2,050 catalogue cards and 5,600 shipping
labels. The cataloguing of the collections secured under the auspices of
the Joseph N. Field Expedition is now completed. All together 11,390
cards are written on this collection. General case-labels have been
installed in all cases of Halls 2 and 3 and those in the East Court.
The condensation and reinstallation of the Philippine collections,
carried on during 1917, made necessary the relabeling of a large portion
of the exhibits. This was completed early in the spring by the labeling
of sixteen cases covering the Bukidnon tribes of Northern Mindanao and
the Bagobo of Davao Gulf. Labels have been written for thirty-five
specimens in the case of Egyptian bronzes. The general case labels for
six cases of Egyptian archeology installed last year have been properly
placed. The Ushebti figures have been classified, and the translations
of their inscriptions made by Dr. Allen will be utilized for the prepara-
tion of the labels. The Canopic jars have also been carefully studied,
classified, and inscriptions read. Under an agreement with the Depart-
ment of Egyptology at the University of Chicago the Museum received
for some time the services of Dr. Allen for the translation of Egyptian
inscriptions in exchange for Egyptian material of the University to
be treated or repaired by the Department’s preparator. Dr. Allen’s
notes will form a useful foundation for the labels to be prepared
' for this section. Since the first of June, the Assistant Curator
of Mexican and South American Archzology has concerned himself
almost entirely with the Zavaleta collection of Calchaqui archeology.
This collection consisted of 4,565 numbers; two hundred and

seventy-one of these had already been catalogued in the Peruvian
collection, the remaining 4,294 have been numbered in 2,120 cata-
logue numbers; about four hundred of these have been catalogued
to date.

In the Department of Botany the entries made number 7,754, bring-
ing the total entries to 477,490. The permanent card reference-indexes

All accessions in the Department of Geology have been duly cata-
logued as received. The total record of catalogue entries to date is as
follows: Number of Record Books 22; Entries during 1918, 510; Total
number of entries to December 31, 1918, 140,429; Total number of cards _
written 8,018. The Chalmers Crystal collection has been labeled
throughout, 166 additional labels having been provided for this purpose.
Other series for which new labels have been made are those of Quater-
nary vertebrates and about 500 miscellaneous specimens of ores and
minerals. The whole comprises a total of 745 labels which have bee:.
printed and for the most part installed during the year. In addition 168
labels have been prepared and are ready for printing.

Owing to the small number of new accessions in the Department of
Zoology the total number of new entries in the catalogues was the small-
est in the history of the Department. The total number of regular
entries was only 185, of which 155 were in Ornithology and 30 in Mam-
malogy. In the classified card catalogues, the number of entries also
has been limited. In Ornithology about 150 new entries were made
and in Mammalogy correction and revision of about too cards were
made. New exhibition labels to complete the relabeling of the synoptic
collection of mammals were received from the printer and in part have
been installed, the remainder being held until after removal. The work
of re-identifying, re-cataloguing and re-tagging the study collections

of the Division of Ichthyology and Herpetology has proceeded through-
out the year. Most of the new material entered and some of the old
material has been supplied with tin tags, stamped in the machine pur-
chased for that purpose last year. In the Division of Osteology fifteen
skeletons were catalogued and index cards were written for the same.
Including the duplicates, 1,700 shell labels were received from the
printer. Of this number 1,381 have been installed. There were also
installed 133 labels for scorpions, tarantulas, centipedes and silkworms.

Accessions.— The Curator of Anthropology makes the following
observations on the painted Japanese screen of the Tosa school presented
to the Museum by Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus in commemoration of the
Director’s twenty-fifth anniversary of service: The Tosa school, so
named for the painter Tsunetaka, a governor of Tosa Province, flour-
ished in the thirteenth century, and in its artistic aspirations was anti-
Chinese, cultivating a vigorous nationalism and representing the taste
of Japanese aristocracy as developed at the court of Kyoto. The char-
acteristics of the Tosa masters were a magnificent combination of
harmonious color and remarkable skill of composition. In conformity
with their national tendencies they turned their attention toward his-
torical subjects, and as illustrators of historical incidents or court
romances and ceremonies on a grand scale they are peerless in the
pictorial annals of Japan. In the epic style of their painted narratives
they became for Japan what the rhapsodists of the Homeric poems were
for Greece. Their best work is accordingly found on screens and sliding
doors which offered the most suitable background for the expression of
their inspiring conceptions. Distinguished forms, a delicate finesse of
the brush exhibiting a decided affinity with the best miniatures of
Persia, and the illustrated missals of our middle ages, a delicate severity
of outlines, a certain conventionality of aristocratic sentiment, an
incomparable talent for minutest detail in depicting trees, flowers, and
birds, vivid, opaque and plastic coloration— these are the predominant
traits of Tosa art all of which are reflected in this screen. Art was en-

236 Frerp Museum or NaturAL History — Reports, VoL. V.

riched by these masters with a striking innovation which omitted the
roofs of the buildings, representing the interiors from a bird’s-eye view
and blending the surrounding scenery with the domestic events. This
principle is felicitously embodied in this painting which depicts three
scenes from the famous classical romance Genji Monogatari written in
A.D. 1004. The scene on the right-hand side shows the hero, Prince
Genji, engaged with his friends in a discussion of the character of women.
The scene in the upper portion of the centre illustrates Prince Genji
gazing through a hedge at a group of ladies in the building. The scene on
the left-hand side of the screen represents Genji and his friend To-no-
chujo performing a war dance before the emperor in the palace Suzaku-in,
accompanied by the orchestra below, of two reed-organs, two flutes, and
two drums. The audience is formed by the members of the court seated
in a hall on the left-hand side; the women spectators being confined to a
special box on a lower level than the men. The characterization of
the figures is exquisite, and the technical means employed to this end are
of highest quality. In the costumes of four figures the designs are em-
bossed or raised in relief in the paper, while a rich scale of pigments is set
off from a gold-speckled brown background. The whole composition is as
monumental and artistic as the treatment of details is refined, accurate,
and instructive. This painting personifies a live source of inspiration for
the study of ancient Japanese life, customs, and decorative forms, and it
is no exaggeration to say that this screen is one of the greatest Oriental
works of art which ever came to the Museum. Dr. Gunsaulus’ ingenuity
and perspicacity in the discovery of this treasure cannot be praised enough,
and he is deserving of our heart-felt gratitude for his generous presenta-
tion, as well as for the thoughtfulness and spirit in which it is made.

In the Department of Anthropology there were received as a gift
from Mr. H. W. Narjal five pieces of tapa cloth and three war clubs from
Samoa, a pair of Eskimo skin boots, and an ancient suit of chain mail
coming from Sweden, but probably manufactured in Persia. A very
interesting lot of Chinese pottery fragments was presented by Mr. E. B.
Christie who at a time was connected with the Philippine Museum of the
Bureau of Science, Manila, and discovered these bits in 1915 in ancient
burial caves of Bohol, Philippine Islands. Some of these shards have
artistic and archeological value, being as early as the time of the Sung
dynasty (tenth and eleventh centuries). There are several good ex-
amples of celadons which show that the sea-green glaze of this ware was
wrought over a porcelain body at that period, and a large series of other
glazes, particularly blue and whites. It is hoped that this material will
give occasion to a renewed and more profound study of the problem of
Chinese pottery in the Philippines, which was taken up in a pub-

lication of the Museum some years ago. A valuable museum purchase is
represented by the grave material secured from a cave on the Pecos
River, Val Verde Co., West Texas, by Mr. J. H. Hudson. The principal
object was dug up four feet underground, being the skeleton of an
Indian child in excellent state of preservation, wrapped in an antelope
skin and adorned with a necklace of shell beads of intrinsic value. In
the same cave were found a finely woven mat with very interesting
painted designs, two plain undecorated mats, several deer or antelope
skins, two smaller mats, a rabbit fur robe, and a bone awl. Besides there
is the skull of an Indian woman and some detached bones discovered
in another cave. Prominent among the year’s accessions is a rare robe,
the gift of Mr. Homer E. Sargent, which is a welcome addition to the
choice collection of blankets given by him last year. It is a blanket
made at Spuzzum, B. C., about 1863; it soon passed into the possession
of a Hudson Bay Company’s factor, in whose family it remained for
more than fifty years until it was purchased for Mr. Sargent. While this
‘type of blanket was formerly produced by Lower Thompson and some
of the neighboring Lower Frazer Indians of Yale, not more than six are
known to be now in existence. Through Mr. Edward E. Ayer, the
Museum purchased several articles from the rapidly vanishing Tolowa
tribe in the extreme northwestern part of California; among these being
two fine buckskin festival dresses, also a beautiful head-band worn in
the Jumping or Fall dance. A metate with muller from Mexico was
turned over to the Department as a gift from Mr. Ayer. The most im-
portant addition of this year is represented by the material received in
exchange from Mr. George G. Heye, director of the Museum of the
American Indian, New York, and making a total of seven hundred
objects. The collection covers two regions: Ecuador and the West
Indies. The majority of the material comes from the West Indies
(412 specimens): Trinidad, Carriacou, St. Kitts, St. Vincent, Santa
Lucia, Grenada, the Virgin Islands, and Cuba. It contains a large
quantity of stone axes of different shapes and of shell celts which are
available for exhibition. The balance of the West Indian material
consists of pottery fragments and sherds, entire vessels being excessively
_rare from this region. A large number of the fragments contain relief
figures suitable for exhibition, but, on the whole, the collection has
greater scientific value because of its rarity. The Ecuador collection is
excellent, consisting of 288 specimens, principally entire pottery vessels
of high exhibition quality and of types not heretofore possessed by the
museum. There are also a few stone and a very few metal pieces from
this region. On the whole it is an excellent collection of almost perfect
- exhibition value. Two sacred bundles from the Sauk and Fox were

238 Fretp Museum oF NaturAt History — Reports, VoL. V.

purchased through Dr. T. Michelson of the Bureau of American
Ethnology; they form a valuable addition to the sacred bundles from
other Indian tribes in the collections.

The Department of Botany received the following important addi-
tions to its herbarium during the year: The highly valuable ‘‘Centuriz
Species Blancoane,”’ distributed specially by the Philippine Bureau
of Sciences, to illustrate, by topotypic plants, the species treated by
Blanco in his Flora of the Philippines, and in addition to these 374
further Philippine species; ‘‘Plantz Wilsoniane,” 753 plants of China
and Japan; 457 Philippine plants from a series specially collected for the
Arnold Arboretum; the herbarium of Professor Hall, formerly State
Geologist of New York, 1,311 plants representing the Flora of Troy,
N. Y.; Earl E. Sherff, 446 plants of Illinois; Dr. Robert Ridgway, 267
plants of Illinois; C. F. Millspaugh, 117 plants of Wisconsin, and 182
North Carolina; F. C. Gates, 390 plants of Michigan; Florence Beck-
with, 85 plants of Illinois; Walter Fischer, 299 plants of Argentina;
New York Botanical Garden, 363 plants of Jamaica (Harris); A. A.
Heller, 306 plants of California and Oregon; and Ira W. Clokey, 170
plants of Colorado. On account of lack of preparatorial assistance for
poisoning and mounting specimens the additions to the herbarium fall
far below the usual annual quota. The regional distribution of fully
organized material added to the herbarium in 1918, is shown in the

The Department of Geology received its most important accession
during the year from Mr. William J. Chalmers, who provided ninety
additional specimens for the collection of mineral crystals. These
specimens are of high quality and interest and greatly enhance the
value of this already unique and remarkable collection. A valuable

series of minerals and gems, some of them cut, associated with the dia-

monds of the Jagersfontein, South Africa, mines, was presented by Mr.
Alexander Fay Brigham. The Great Northern Railway presented a
large painting of the Rome glacier of Glacier National Park, Montana.
Several valuable accessions were received by exchange, among which a
series of Permian reptiles from the University of Chicago was of first
importance. The series contains skulls, vertebre and other bones of the
rare, primitive forms, Eryops, Labidosaurus, Pariotichus and Dimetro-
don. The great scarcity of remains known from the Permian and the
primitive characters of these forms, make the addition of these speci-
mens to the collections a valued accession. From the Australian School
of Mines, Sydney, Australia, a number of rare Australian minerals were
secured by exchange. These specimens included chiefly opal, chromite
and different forms of tetrahedrite. By exchange with Joseph N. Prokes,
fourteen large specimens of an interesting form of calcareous tufa pro-
duced by spring deposition were obtained. By purchase, the type speci-
ment of Paolia superba, an insect of the Carboniferous period allied to
the modern locust was obtained. The specimen shows chiefly the wings
of the insect, which are about three inches in length and are preserved
with complete venation in a fossil concretion. Several large specimens
of minerals were also secured by purchase, of special importance among
them being some unusually brilliant and well-formed pyrite crystals.
In the Department of Zoology the accessions of mammals and birds
during the year have been few, 12 mammals and 66 birds having been
donated, while only 18 mammals and 4 birds were purchased. Five
British fishes, representing new groups for synoptic series, were pur-
chased from the well known fish taxidermist Mr. Sherman F. Denton.
Mr. L. L. Pray presented to the Museum several small Michigan fishes

_JAN., IQIQ. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 241

and two large fishes, a sheepshead and a muskallunge, mounted by
himself. Some additional fishes and reptiles from California, including
- paratypes of two new species, were presented by Assistant Curator
Hubbs, who also collected some local cold-blooded vertebrates. By
exchange the study collection of fishes was enriched in several direc-
tions, the following list of material having been secured: 375 fishes,
amphibians and reptiles from British Honduras, comprising the collec-
tions of the late Dr. B. G. Bailey, Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa; 38
fluviatile fishes from Eastern Mexico, from the Museum of Zodlogy of
the University of Michigan; 33 fishes, mostly of the family Atherinide,
including the paratype of Ischnomembras gabunensis, from the Academy
of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and four desirable fishes and
salamanders of Southern California, from the San Diego Society of
Natural History. The acquisitions in the Division of Entomology
during the year consisted mainly of small gifts from various donors. The
large number of insects accessioned is wholly due to the fact that it in-
cludes the collection received from Dr. William Barnes several years
ago. A brief description of Dr. Barnes’ donation was given in a former
report. Theinsectsreceived by donationnumber 3,148and by exchange 4.

INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT, PACKING FOR
REMOVAL TO NEw Bui_pinc.—In the Department of Anthropology installa-
tion was carried on only during the first five months of the year, fifteen
cases being installed during this period. Thirteen of these belong to
the section of Mexican and South American archeology, and comprise
two cases devoted to Central American archeology, two to Mexican
archeology, four to Mexican ethnology, and five to South American
ethnology. Labels have been printed for all of these and installed in
all but four cases. As five cases of Mexican archeology and ethnology
were installed in 1917, a total of eighteen, out of the number of seventy-
eight cases planned for Hall F in the new building, have been
completed to date. One four-foot case housing New Guinea material
was installed. In it are exhibited some fine examples of the carved
wooden drums known as garamuts and found on the north coast of the
island. These illustrate the principal variations which occur in this
region. A case containing more than eighty-five bronze vessels
collected in Egypt largely through Mr. Edward E. Ayer’s efforts, and
comprising ladles, basins, ewers, bowls, cauldrons, jugs, amphore,
vases, plates, libation pourers, pails and strainers, has been carefully
installed in conformity with the plan previously formulated. In accord-
ance with instructions issued on May 20 installation was discontinued,
and preparations were at once initiated to mobilize collections for
their future reception in the new building. Methods of packing and

al

242 Fretp Museum or Natura. History — Reports, Vot. V.

material required for this purpose were discussed at meetings with
the staff, and the suggestions brought out during these discussions
proved most helpful. This Department has adopted the principle of
packing, wherever feasible, in the cases and disturbing the material as
little as possible. Following is a summary of the material packed dur-
ing 1918 in the Department of Anthropology: 150 exhibition cases,
209 crates, 131 boxes, 1 burlap, and 1,194 carton-boxes. For the
packing of pottery and bronze the exhibition-case is regarded as
the safest receptacle: the method followed is to use two boards
of the dimensions of a shelf and to place one along the front and
the other along the back of a case against the glass and above the
floor, whereby a box-like container is insured. The objects are then
removed from the shelves, wrapped with corrugated paper, and tightly
placed on the bottom of the case; the boards prevent them from coming
in contact with the glass. Delicate pottery pieces or fragile clay figures
are first packed in carton-boxes stuffed with paper shavings. Halls
50, 51 and 56 of the East Annex were closed during the summer, and
the material displayed in the exhibition cases and a great amount of
storage material were made ready for transportation. In June orders
were somewhat modified, and instruction was given to spare exhibition-
cases and to proceed with the packing of storage-material. Efforts then
turned toward clearing up the West Annex which for a number of years
has been the repository of several ten thousands of objects not yet pre-
pared for exhibition. These were brought to light, assembled, sorted,
and classified to be finally boxed or crated. This material embraces
collections from the Philippines, Java, India, Turkey, Egypt, New
Guinea, Mexico, and South America. Throughout this work has been
done intelligently: exchange and study collections are grouped and
packed separately, while all exhibition material is selected and so cut
out and arranged that it is in readiness for installation in the new build-
ing without delay. Exact records were kept of all cases packed and all
crates, boxes, and other packages made. As far as possible, labeling
was also continued, the labels being placed with the material to which
they belong. In the autumn the embargo on closing exhibition-halls
was raised, and accordingly Hall 17, sheltering the Hopi altars and the
Hopi home-scene, was broken up. Fifteen large cases were dismantled
and their contents packed in nine crates, nine boxes, and four standard
cases, while seven altar cases were packed 7 situ. The Eskimo Hall is
now undergoing the same operation, but simultaneously it is planned to
raise this interesting collection to a higher standard of exhibition. First
installed some twenty years ago, it has long since outgrown its present
system of arrangement. Collections have been secured from new

localities, while notable additions have been made to districts already
represented. It is now possible to present an adequate picture of Eskimo
life and to illustrate minor variations in the culture of the tribes, due to
contact with other peoples, environment, and similar factors. Of the
Zavaleta collection, five cases have been arranged for future exhibition.
Labels have been written for three of these and are now being printed.
One case has been completely catalogued and packed for shipment.
The archeological collection from La Plata Island was examined, ar-
ranged for installation in one case, labels written, and the material
packed. The balance of this collection, as far as it has not been sent to
the Museum of the American Indian for exchange, is likewise packed and
labeled as study material. Two cases of the Mexican section have been
packed for transportation, and the study material from the South Ameri-
can collections is packed in forty-three boxes. During the past year
the entire collection of skeletal material has been thoroughly over-
hauled, sorted, cleaned, arranged geographically, and numbered by the
assistant curator of physical anthropology. The cataloguing of it is
now complete, so that data relating to any part of the collection are
readily available. In addition to the descriptive catalogue cards, a
considerable amount of laboratory work was done on the Peruvian
material. Carton-boxes of two sizes have been provided, and the entire
collection, including the portion displayed in the exhibition-cases on
the east gallery, has been carefully packed in cartons which are num-
bered and labeled. A list of this material has been prepared in duplicate
for future reference in the moving operations. The collections of facial
masks and plaster busts of racial types are included in this lot. As
this material has been accumulating through twenty years, and an
account of its scientific value has not yet been offered, a short summary
may be of interest. The total number of crania and skeletons is approx-
imately tgree thousand six hundred, while casts number about two
hundred. There are four hundred and fifty specimens from South Ameri-
ca, chiefly from Peru, Bolivia, and Argentine. Among these are many
interesting examples which show deformation and trepanning. A large
collection of busts has been obtained from Mexico; also a very interesting
series of crania excavated in the vicinity of an old temple site at Tezon-
tepec. All these skulls are broken in the occipital region, and it is
supposed that they were once displayed on a pole in sacrificial cere-
monies. Artificial deformation is found in nearly all these specimens.
Prehistoric American burials are well represented by collections from
the neighborhood of Trenton, New Jersey; the Hopewell, Oregonia,
and the Warren County mounds of Ohio; as weii as from various sites
in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Cliff Dweller crania and skeletons

244 Fietp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V.

amount to two hundred, while prehistoric Hopi is adequately illustrated
by more than three hundred objects. Representative collections have
been obtained from the Huron, Blackfoot, Iroquois, Pawnee, and
Sioux, while collections in smaller numbers come from Central and
Southern groups. The most complete collections from North America
relate to the Northwest Coast, those from the Haida numbering one
hundred and twenty, Kwakiutl one hundred, Nootka forty-five, Chi-
nook sixty. Other groups are also represented. The California material,
while small in number, contains many interesting specimens, two of
which gathered by Dr. Hudson are of an exceedingly primitive type.
Oceanica (South Seas) is particularly well illustrated by six hundred and
forty skulls, many of which exhibit instructive examples of carving and
face moulding; while small types of skull deformation, trepanning, etc.,
are found; the collection also contains mortuary figures provided with
human heads and other parts of the skeleton. Malaysia and China yield
one hundred and twenty-five objects gathered in connection with the
Museum’s ethnological expeditions. Owing to the scarcity of skeletal
material from these regions in our museums the specimens are of especial
interest. The bulk of the material relative to Negroes and Whites
consists of complete skeletons, secured in the Middle West and macer-
ated at the Museum. Some one hundred and seventy-five individuals
are represented in this section. Many minor collections covering
Egypt, ancient Sardinia, and parts of Africa and Europe, are also in-
cluded in the lists. Since the organization of the section of Physical
Anthropology, considerable attention has been paid to measurements
on the living, and charts representing more than four thousand in-
dividuals are now on file. Of this number the greater part refers to the
pagan tribes of the Philippines. Various rearrangements were made
in the course of the year. In the Egyptian Hall three hanging wall cases
were emptied of their contents consisting of mummies of haavks, cats,
alligators, and other small animals; Ushebti figures, basketry and writ-
ing materials, for future re-installation in standard cases. Two cases of
small working groups and wooden burial figures were also vacated,
studied with reference to labels, and packed for transportation in a
standard case. One case of vases and mortuary jars, one of boxes and
biers, and another of canopics or viscera jars, were dismantled, the
contents studied and packed in a standard case. In the East Court,
three cases of Mexican, Venezuela and British Guiana ethnology were
stripped for immediate installation, following the elimination of study
and duplicate material. One Peabody case containing archzological
collections from Nicaragua, Bahama and Santo Domingo was released
for storage, the material being properly divided for re-installation. The

JAN., I9Q19. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 245

Shastan collection was removed from a standard case to storage and
will be re-installed at a later date. This change was made necessary by
the arrival of new material. Six Peabody cases formerly used for storage
purposes in Halls 68, 69 and 72, emptied of their contents in the process
of packing, were removed and stored in the basement to give floor
space for the cartons containing skeletal material in Hall 69 and the
crated Melanesian material in Hall 72. In the repair section of the
Department four hundred and forty-nine objects were restored, and
more than two hundred and fifty received treatment. There were
50,591 new numbers marked on specimens, chiefly those relating to
physical anthropology and archzological collections from Columbia,
Peru and Argentine.

In lieu of installation in the Department of Botany this year, all
effort of the staff, with the exception of herbarium installations and
the work of plant reproduction, was expended in preparation for moving
the collections to the new building. All those exhibition-cases designed
- to be moved without disinstallation, and intended to be kept on exhibi-
tion until moved, have been opened, their contents and labels securely
anchored in place, and the storage locker contents packed in containers
therein. In the east and west court galleries two hollow rectangular
spaces were enclosed by these cases and within them 60 cases, secluded
from public view, were completely disinstalled and their contents
packed for shipment in the lockers beneath. In this manner more than
half of the Department cases are now ready for shipment without seri-
ously impairing the public attractiveness of the botanical display as
long as the present building may be open. The activities of the Mrs.
Stanley Field Plant Reproduction section have resulted in the production
of the following life-like studies that have either been installed in the
families to which they pertain or cased on view temporarily, awaiting
true installation: A complete Pitcher-leaf plant (Nepenthes) in full leaf,
flower and “ pitcher,’ enlarged male and female flowers, anda “‘pitcher’’in
section showing its contents of partly digested insects; a large Trumpet
Creeper vine (Bignonia) in full leaf, flower and fruit, a Catalpa flower
in section, revealing its essential organs, a long rachis of Saussage
fruits (Kzgelia) with leaf above and two clusters of Candle-tree fruits
(Parmentiera) suspended from the trunk of the tree; a complete plant
of Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron) in full vernal leaf and flower, another in
autumnal maturity with colorate leaves and ripe fruit, a section of a
floral cluster enlarged to reveal the tree distinctive floral characters of
the family, a leafy twig of the Mango (Mangzjera) in ripe fruit and
‘another of Kemanga in like condition; a large branch of Gonocaryum
in full leaf, flower and fruit, produced from material and studies secured,

246 Firetp Musrum oF Naturat History — Reports, VOL. V.

by the Curator, in the Botanical Gardens of Buitenzorg, Java, also an
enlargement of the peculiar fleshy flower of the species; a complete,
leafy, fruiting branch of the Sassafras, with an enlarged flower of the
Alligator-pear (Persea) also a twig of the latter in leaf and ripe fruit
and a fruit in section; summit of a Bitter-sweet vine (Celastrus) in full
leaf and ripe fruit, a small twig in full flower, and a single flower enlarged;
a large branch of Witch Hazel (Hamamelis) in full autumn leaf, flower
and fruit and a single flower enlarged; a series of enlarged flowers of
Grevillea showing the peculiar character of anthesis in the Proteacez;
cluster of three plants of Galax, growing in situ, in full leaf and flower
and a portion of a floral cluster, enlarged, showing buds and two flowers
in different stages of anthesis; a Passion-flower vine (Passiflora) in
full leaf, flower and fruit; a complete plant of the Fox-glove (D7gitalts)
in full leaf and flower; a large flower of the Corn Poppy (Papaver) sec-
tioned to reveal its essential organs; a complete Arrow-head plant
(Sagittaria), 7n situ, in full leaf and flower; a frond of the Tuna cactus
(Opuntia) in full ripe fruit illustrating one of the cultivated varieties
now becoming prominent in the fancy fruit shops of our cities; a leafy,
flowering and fruiting branch of the Indian Mulberry (Morinda),
another peculiar fruit now and then reaching our northern markets; an
enlarged flower of the Bladder-wort (Utricularia) sectioned to reveal
its peculiar structure, an enlarged leaf of the plant with its interesting
bodies commonly known as ‘“‘floats,” a single float, or bladder, highly
enlarged and opened to reveal its contents (partly digested larvae
and minute water animals) proving these ‘‘bladders” to be, in reality,
stomachs, and the plant to be carnivorous; the smaller Alge, the
Flagellate, Dinoflagellatee and Peridine, groups of micro-plants, have
been completed through the production of single individuals or several
forms in the following genera: Spirogyra, Spirulina, Nostoc, Rivularia,
Trichodesmium, Lingyba, Oscillatorta, Clathrocystis, Coccolithophora,
Discosphera, Syncrypta, Euglena, Conocladium, Rhabdospheria, Ornitho-
ceras, Ceratium, Peridenium, Gymnodenium, Spirodenium and Cochlo-
denium. In October it was decided to transfer the laboratories and staff
to Miami, Florida, where, through the courtesy of the Bureau of Plant
Introduction of the United States Department of Agriculture, quarters
were granted this Museum in the Department Laboratory Building at
that place. All necessary appliances and apparatus were shipped forward
and the staff left in a specially equipped automobile on the roth of that
month. On the way south studies and casts of the cotton plant were
secured. Arriving at Miami, without special incident, immediate prep-
arations were begun for the re-establishment of the work which is now
progressing as before removal. The opportunity to thus secure needed

JAN., I91OQ. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 247

semi-tropical representative plants is an excellent one. The Section of
Plant Reproduction will remain in Florida until April or early May.

In the Department of Geology about one hundred and twenty-five
specimens were added to the Chalmers Crystal collection and the whole
series re-installed, the additions making it necessary to move part of the
collection to another case. The specimens are all mounted in correct
crystallographic positions on individual mahogany stands and have
separate individual labels. In the arrangement of the collection as
exhibited, specimens illustrating the six crystallographic groups are
first shown in order and subsequent to these, specimens of twin crystals,
crystal groupings, crystal inclusions, crystal distortions, etc. The work
begun last year of repolishing and re-etching the sections of iron mete-
orites, has been continued, thirty-six specimens having been thus treated
during the year. These specimens have been re-installed as fast as
the work upon them has been completed. Several relief maps that had
been exhibited in the Court were removed and packed, while others
- were re-installed. The large painting of a Montana glacier presented by
the Great Northern Railway was installed in this court in connection
with large specimens showing glaciated surfaces. A model of the Natural
Bridge of Virginia, based on the accurate survey and studies in the
field made by the Assistant Curator last year, has been executed by the
Assistant Curator and also placed on exhibition in the West Court. The
model is five feet six inches long, three feet three inches wide, and two
feet ten inches high, thus being of a size which is as large as will fit into
the ordinary type of case. The scale is ten feet to the inch. This scale,
without producing a model of unwieldy size, is large enough to show
minor details distinctly. In this model an attempt has been made to
simulate nature as closely as possible and to avoid the conventionalized
and generalized systems of representation frequently employed in
geological modeling. Also the vertical and horizontal scales are the
same, thus avoiding the distortion which is also frequently employed
in geological models. The model represents a length of 660 feet of the
gorge of Cedar Creek in Rockbridge County, Virginia, with the well-
known Natural Bridge of limestone spanning it at an elevation of 215
feet above the water. The stream bed and the vertical cliffs are of lime-
stone, with coatings of bright-colored clays. The higher levels and the
more sloping portions of the cafion walls are densely wooded. The basis
of the model is reinforced concrete. The limestone surfaces and cliffs
are modeled, the concrete mixtures at the surface being varied to meet
the changing requirements of the rock texture. The strongly colored
surfaces of the limestone have been reproduced in the model by perma-
nent pigments which have been introduced into the pores of the con-

248 Firtp Museum oF Natura History — Reports, Vou. V.

crete, thus avoiding a painted effect. Some carved pebbles were em-
ployed to represent individual rock features. The wooded portions of
the model contain over 1000 miniature trees. The most prominent
geological feature illustrated by this model is the formation of a natural
bridge by the collapse of the roof of a cave, leaving only a fragment in
the form of a bridge. The cafion of Cedar Creek marks the position of
the former cave and traces of the latest falling of the roof appear as large
limestone boulders in the creek immediately above and below the
bridge. The geological reason for the location of the bridge in its
present position is indicated by the appearance of the rock on the west
wall of the gorge, which shows distinctly at the bridge the axis of a
syncline where the beds of limestone lie level and also tend to be less
broken than elsewhere. Other characteristic cave features illustrated
by the model are light-colored stagmalitic deposits on the wall under
the bridge and two vertical pits, one above and one below the bridge.
The skeleton of the Irish Deer in Hall 36, having been found to be
undergoing injury on account of imperfect mounting, was in part
disarticulated and the supporting framework reconstructed. The up-
right rods were lengthened, reinforced and attached to the base in such
a manner as to give a rigid support. Some fractures in the skeleton were
repaired and a few missing parts restored. In remounting, also, the
posture of the body was improved. Considerable progress has been
made also towards mounting a skeleton of Megacerops. This is an
Oligocene titanothere collected in South Dakota by the Museum ex-
pedition of 1898. While the greater part of the skeleton was obtained,
restoration of some components was found necessary. Most of these
it was possible to model from corresponding parts of the same individual,
but in some cases comparative studies of related animals were used
as a basis for modeling. It is intended to display the skeleton in
three-quarters relief on a combined base and background, these
reproducing so far as possible the ‘matrix from which the specimen
was taken.

In addition to the attention given to preparation and installation of
new material, a large amount of time has been occupied in packing in
preparation for removal to the new building. For the most part the
collections packed have not been of exhibited material, it being deemed
desirable to allow this to remain exhibited as long as possible. The study
and stored collections have therefore been those which have been chiefly
boxed. This work has so far progressed as now to include the vertebrate
paleontological collections which have been stored in the basement of
the taxidermy building, and the entire study collections of vertebrate
and invertebrate fossils, ores and other economic specimens, lithological

JAN., IQIO. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 249

specimens and some apparatus. Careful records of the contents of each
box have been made and each box has been marked in such a way as to
secure its identification for unpacking and delivery at its appropriate
destination in the new building. The record of the material packed
during the year is as follows: Invertebrate fossils, 87 boxes; large field
specimens of vertebrate fossils, 58 boxes; smaller vertebrate fossils,
48 boxes; lithology specimens, 27 boxes; ores, 67 boxes; apparatus and
miscellaneous, 22 boxes and 22 barrels; relief maps, 10 boxes, making
a total of 331 barrels and boxes.

In the Department of Zoology the work of the year has been largely
directed to matters looking toward removal to new quarters. This has
involved some rearrangement of specimens, some elimination of un-
desirable material, considerable planning and estimating and actual
packing. The usual care in preventing damage to specimens from insects
has been exercised. The skin dresser has been occupied chiefly in
_ preparing skins of large mammals which have been in the possession of
the Museum for a number of years but which, owing to pressure of
other work, have remained in the raw state. These were found in good
condition. Recently obtained skins, principally from South America,
also were dressed for permanent preservation or for mounting. Plans |
for moving specimens of mammals and birds have been made by which
the majority of such specimens will be packed in the storage cases where
they are now kept and thus they may remain accessible until shortly
before the actual time of moving. Considerable progress has been made
in packing other material. In Taxidermy, a large number of casts and
material for preparing bird and mammal groups has been boxed or
crated and similar material not required for immediate use, including
field equipment, etc., has also been packed. The collection of leg bones
of large mammals reserved for mounting has been reassorted, relabeled,
and packed after the elimination of duplicate or unnecessary specimens.
Revision of the synoptic exhibit of mammals has continued and a
number of specimens have been provided with new bases, while a few
others have been set aside for remounting. A large mounted elephant
seal was discarded. A group of the common Ruffed Grouse or “‘part-
ridge” of the Northeastern United States was installed, completing a
four-section case of local bird groups. It shows a pair of old birds and
their nest under a log, the old female just leaving her eggs in fright at
a raccoon which is approaching. A painted background shows a scene
from the Forest of Arden near Joliet, Illinois, and the foreground shows
an attractive reproduction of characteristic shrubs and smaller plants.
The following four groups are now included in this, the latest of the
four-section bird cases: Winter Bird of Lake Michigan; Bird Life of

250 Fretp Musreum oF NAtTuRAL History — Reports, VoL. V.

Fox Lake; Winter Bird Life of Northern Illinois, and Ruffed Grouse in
its Summer Home. The several animals for the group of American Bison
provided through the generosity of Mr. Arthur B. Jones and mentioned
in a former report, were mounted during the year; but owing to the
large size of the group and the difficulty of obtaining a proper case for
it, the final installation was postponed until after removal to the new
building. Therefore the animals, mounted on movable bases, have been
temporarily placed on exhibition without background or accessories in a
large case in the Rotunda of the Museum. Additions to the synoptic
exhibition of mammals have been few, the most important being a large
male specimen of the extraordinary baboon known as the Mandrill.
Work has progressed on accessory material for projected groups of
large mammals, especially that of the Olympic Elk, for which the painted
background and the specimens of the animals have been in hand for
some time. The exhibition work of the Division of Ichthyology and
Herpetology was almost wholly of a preparatory character, it being
considered unwise to install new material prior to the time of moving.
Three snakes (two rattle-snakes and one fox snake), mounted on sanded
bases, were the only specimens placed on exhibition during the year. A
few fishes already on exhibition were remounted for more effective dis-
play. All of the sixty food and game fishes of the Mississippi River,
obtained by a Museum Expedition in 1917, were mounted. After con-
siderable planning and experimenting, a type of habitat group for small
fishes was developed which promises gratifying results. A sample
group which has been prepared shows an excellent sub-aquatic effect, an
improvement on groups previously prepared. This group is installed in
one of the rectangular glass jars originally designed for the display of
fishes in fluid, a practice which has proved by experience in both this
Museum and elsewhere to be unsuccessful. By using the type of habitat
group mentioned above, seventy-two of the more important of the
smaller local fishes can attractively be displayed in their proper en-
vironmental setting, in the two twelve-foot cases now utilized for the
unsatisfactory exhibition of fishes in fluid. In addition to the actual
work outlined above, the whole fish exhibit plans for the new Museum
have received further consideration. The number of cases to be used,
and to a large degree the detailed contents of each case, have been de-
cided upon. The replacing of the old bottles of varied sorts now used in
the collection of the Division with a more uniform and more economical
type of specimen jar has been continued. The supply of such jars pur-
chased in 1917 having been largely absorbed in the collection, a new
order for 97 dozen jars of appropriate sizes was placed and filled. The
most noteworthy work to which the Division of Entomology was de-

AN., IQIO. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 2°T

voted during the first five months of the year was the completing of an
exhibit of scorpions and centipedes and the making of a sample habitat
group of insects. Some time also was spent on a group that will represent.
the well-known and injurious tomato worm in its usual surroundings.
The scorpion and centipede exhibit consists of a series of special tablet
mounts, of which 29 contain different species of scorpions; 2 show harm-
less but much feared whip-tailed scorpions, 3 the agile solpugids, the
nature of which has been the subject of much controversy, 11 illustrate
some of the giant spiders including the tarantulas and trap-door spiders,
and 14 tablets contain examples of the larger and hence more poisonous
centipedes. This series of specimens with their labels occupies seven of |
the twelve panels in one of the new A-cases. As an experiment as to
what might be done in the way of making groups of insects with accessor-
ies to represent natural surroundings, there was prepared a sample case
containing the most conspicuous and characteristic insects found in the
sand dune region. The group was regarded as a step in the right direc-
‘tion and a case was ordered capable of accommodating two groups and
a space for illustrated labels. In addition to the above mentioned groups,
the silkworm exhibit was also completed by supplementing photographs
illustrating the industry in Japan and by the installation of suitable
descriptive labels. The Barnes-Poling collection of moths was taken
from the unsafe boxes in which it was received several years ago and
transferred to insect-proof drawers. Asa result of this work these insects
are now arranged systematically in safe, glass-topped drawers and the
storage or shipping boxes have been returned to the donors of the col-
lection. Considerable preliminary work was essential before the insects
in the laboratory could be actually packed for moving. This was espec-
ially true of the large number of specimens that were simply lying loose
in shallow trays. As they could not be safely moved in this condition,
they were relaxed and then placed between layers of cotton in small
boxes. Every specimen in the Strecker collection were next examined in
order to ascertain whether its pin was held securely, and, as a precau-
tionary measure, all of the large butterflies and moths were secured by
pins so as to prevent them from turning. The other pinned material
was treated in a similar manner, but for the insects packed in papers and
in small boxes different protective measures were adopted. A limited
number of the loose specimens were pinned and labeled, because they
could be more safely shipped in that condition. In order that the cases
containing insects could be put in proper place in the new building, it
was quite evident that they should be numbered before any attempt
was made to pack the exhibits. This work was promptly given attention
and all of the cases are now numbered so as to correspond with the

252 Fietp Musrum oF Natura History — Reports, Vou. V.

numbered space assigned to them on the floor plans of the exhibition-
halls. Little was done toward completing the re-installation of the shell
exhibit. Fifteen skeletons that were stored in Taxidermy were turned
over to the Division of Osteology. These were prepared, catalogued and
index cards written for the same. Eighty-seven skulls were cleaned for
the Division of Mammalogy. Three skeletons were cleaned for the
collection of Comparative Osteology. Since the middle of May the
entire time of the Assistant Curator has been devoted to packing
skulls and skeletons for moving. During that time fifty-three boxes and
crates of large skulls and skeletons were packed. Six drawers of the
storage cabinet were packed with small ligamentary skeletons.

THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.
— At the close of the year there were 588 cases available for circulation
among the public schools of Chicago. It is very gratifying to be able
to report that despite a reduction in the number of the staff, owing to
the enlistment of two of its members in the United States Army and the
resignation of another, fifty-four cases were installed during the year.
It was necessary to alter hanging and increase storage facilities for cases
in order to accommodate 250 new cases. It may be said, and with some
pride, that the type of case originally adopted by this Department
continues to meet the many demands made upon it. The schedule
prepared at the beginning of the year for the delivery of cases to public
schools during the scholastic year was ‘maintained, except for a period
of several days during the early part of January, when deep snow pre-
vented delivery of casestoschools. In connection with civic activities
held on the Municipal Pier during the summer, a loan of cases from this _
Department was requested. During the first part of July twelve cases
were sent to the pier in compliance with this request. After these cases
had been on exhibition but a few days, the Superintendent of the pier,
in a communication, expressed his and the public’s appreciation of
“the very interesting and highly educational exhibits” and adding
“these exhibits are studied with great interest by young and old, and
many enthusiastic statements are made concerning them. They are a
real attraction to the pier and I am writing you for the purpose of
asking you to supplement the present exhibit.” In compliance with
this later request, twelve cases were sent. The twenty-four cases were
on exhibition in a large, well-lighted hall, in which were also exhibited
paintings and sculptures. A request was granted to the Twenty-sixth
Ward Woman’s Civic League for several cases to be exhibited in the
field house in Welles Park for the purpose of illustrating a lecture on
the extension work of the Museum. The Curator of the Children’s
Museum of Brooklyn stated in a communication received early in the

year, that their Museum was raising by popular subscription a sum of
money to be expended in extending the Museum in the public schools
of that city, and requested the loan of a typical case of this Department
together with the motion picture film showing methods of storing, de-
livering cases, etc., which was shown at the Panama-Pacific International
Exposition as a part of this Department’s exhibit there. In making this
request the Curator stated: ‘“‘The N. W. Harris Public School Exten-
sion has set a glorious example for the whole land and an example
which I hope we will be able to follow with success. It would help us
out immensely and be of great assistance in educating the people up to
the meaning of loan collections, and it would have much to do with
the success of our campaign.’”’ A case and the motion picture film were
sent as requested. After using them for several weeks for the purpose
desired, an extension of the time of the loan of the case was asked.
In support of this request it was stated, “‘The case and motion picture
film were being used quite effectively, and that people here seem to be
delighted with the conception of such a loan, and the comments are
uniformly enthusiastic.”” Requests for information concerning con-
struction of cases, methods of installing, distributing and loaning them
have been received from various institutions. |

HENRY HERING’S SCULPTURE FOR FIELD MUSEUM
OF NATURAL HISTORY IN CHICAGO

By CHARLES OVER CORNELIVS

Conceived in the mind of a public-spirited citizen, and made possible
of realization by his generosity, the Field Museum of Natural History
in Chicago stands as a memorial to Marshall Field, its founder, and
constitutes one of the chief architectural glories of the city. This great
museum is destined to house extensive collections associated with the
natural sciences and will function as an immense educational concord-
ance. Easy of access from all parts of the city, overlooking the great
open space of Grant Park to the north, and visible in its white majesty
from far out upon the nearby lake, its site is unrivaled as a dignified and
appropriate setting. The design has called forth a sustained architectural
study with all that this implies, and the architects, Graham, Anderson,
Probst and White, have given to the country a masterpiece in monu-
mental building of a distinction and dignity commensurate with its
purpose and origin.

The monumental sculptures created in conjunction with such a
building form an essential element in its design. Their position, while not
necessarily structural, is in a vital spot of the organism, esthetically
considered, and the individual works themselves thus assume a responsi-
bility for the success of the whole work altogether out of proportion to
their size, since in them is the final focusing of the attention of the
spectator.

The larger part of the exterior sculptural decoration of the building
has been concentrated about the central motif of the north facade — the
great Ionic portico with its flanking bays. In these two bays caryatid
porches rest upon the basement course and aboveare horizontal panels of
low relief. Against the attic of the portico are eight figures of colossal
size, which complete the sculptural decoration here. On the south
facade the caryatid porches are repeated and above the mare horizontal
panels similar to those facing the north. The interior sculpture consists
of four figures surmounting engaged columns at either end of the central
hall. This, then, summarizes the decorative sculpture — the caryatids
and the four relief panels, the eight attic and the four interior figures.

For the sculptural embellishment the architects commissioned one

! |
292 Firtp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V.

sculptor to execute the whole of this decoration — perhaps the second
timeon record that so extensive a task has been entrusted to the hands of
one American sculptor. Henry Hering has utilized the opportunity
presented him to create a group of architectural sculptures which is
unsurpassed in America today. Throughout the work he has kept con-
sciously before him the purposes for which each piece was designed, both
as regards its subject and its placing upon the building, with the result
that he has achieved a superlative consistency in the whole work, at the
same time infusing into each figure the utmost individuality and dis-
tinction.

In the treatment of the caryatid figures there is observable a greater
conventionality and a less definite expression of personality than in any
others of the group. Here an actual structural problem had to be met
and a nice transition from the strong foundation course was desirable.
There are two types of caryatids which are to be duplicated, and while
they are very similar in mass and movement, in detail they are absolutely
individual. The inspiration is frankly Ionian and their dignity is as
unquestionable as is their structural quality.

Above each caryatid porch the horizontal panel in relief represents
one of the four main departments of the Museum — Anthropology,
Zoology, Botany and Geology. The treatment here is very decorative,
and by the use of one flying figure in each panel the same scale as that
adopted in the other figures has been preserved while admitting the
introduction of a definitely horizontal sense into the whole panel, con-
trasting effectively with the repeated verticals of the other figures and of
the surrounding architecture. Interesting color is given by the wings,
the drapery treatment and the floating ribbon which bears the name of
the department symbolized in the figure. The length of the panel has
also allowed of the introduction of vertical bands of exquisite decoration,
each different in detail, though similar in general tone. The iconography
of the four panels is exceptionally pleasing and the choice of symbols for
each has brought into play the originality and discrimination of the
sculptor.

The choice of subject for the attic figures exemplifies the generalization
appropriate to the decoration of such a building. The four central
figures above the columns represent the elements: Fire, Earth, Air and
Water; the four flanking figures typify the four points of the compass:
North, South, East and West. With this choice of subject comes the
necessity of giving to the figures, each so general in its conception,
definite and essential qualities and certain attributes which will differ-
entiate each from the other and at the same time preserve the unity of
the scheme. Of the attributes given to the figures their selection has

JAN., 1919. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 293

been so apt and their display so nice that no discussion need be entered
into to add to their clarity.

The subtlety of so large a group fairly escapes expression in words.
A broad balance has been obtained for the whole by reversing the poses
of the two end figures and the similarity in the poses of the four centre-
most figures. The light and shade have been studied for their effect in
diffused light, and calculation had to be made for the position sixty-five
feet above the spectator. In the placing of the figuresin relation to the
surrounding space, as in fact throughout most of the architecture of the
building, the Greek rhythm of 1:2 has been observed.

While in the sculptor’s treatment of the group there is this rhythm,
this subtle balance and calculation of light and shade, there is withal a
very correct uniformity. The decoration about the heads has a certain
general similarity in its suggestion of a nimbus, but how infinitely varied
in its detail and individual in its application! In all the figures the law of
frontality is strictly observed; a knee may be bent or the head inclined,
but the frontal line remains straight. The dress, although partaking more
of the quality of costume than of drapery, shows in its treatment a
reasoned use of the latter tendency with the Dorian chiton as a point of
departure. The architectonic quality is also observable here in the
insistent verticals of the folds with their suggested evolution from a
columnar form. The details of costume are infinitely varied, and upon
repeated examination the figures reveal great fertility of invention and
richness of detail.

Much of the finest characterization hasbeen reserved for the heads, in
which the varied treatment of the eyes and mouth, the most expressive
parts of the face, epitomizes the calmness or passion, the mysticism or
nobility associated with each generality which the marble strives to
present. The sculpturesque form in which the hair is cast in the figures of
the ‘‘Four Points of the Compass”’ is particularly fine, and this interest-
ing conventionality serves to give strength to the neck, a point which may
also be remarked with reference to the caryatid figures.

The four interior figures are placed in the great central hall of the
museum. This immense room, three hundred feet long and lighted from
above, is entered from either end through a large arch. Each of the
arches is flanked by tall engaged columns, with entablature decoratively
used, and upon each stands a symbolic figure. The symbolism of these
figures makes a subjective application of the building’s use and suggests
the various activities whose inspiration will lie within its walls; Natural
Science and the Dissemination of Knowledge flanking one. archway,
Record and Research the other.

These figures appear first at a great distance and are placed where

294 Fie~tp Museum or Natura History — Reports, Vot. V.

they will be seen under a comparatively steady light from above. Their
position is of no structural importance and their purpose is a purely
decorative one. All of which facts contribute to the difference in treat-
ment from the strictly architectural figures of the attic. The composition
here is more varied and the feeling more personal.

The whole group is characterized by the eminent dignity and restraint
which run throughout all of Mr. Herings’ work — a dignity unfettered
by academic formule nor yet disturbed by a factitious realism. In the
sane mind of the trained sculptor these two extremes of classicism and
realism have been fused into an expressive whole under the spell of his
own individual approach. In this particular problem there was opportu-
nity for a variety of treatment into which has been breathed much of the
spirit of ancient Greece.

There are many who will concur in the opinion that the art of sculp-
ture has reached and always will reach the broadest expression of its
purpose when conceived and carried out with relation to architecture
which it may be designed toenhance. Of the greatest sculpture which has
come down to us from the past, by far the larger part is permeated by
qualities suggested, if not imposed, by the architectural design of which
it formed an essential part. When the art began to be employed upon
works not destined as absolute units in an architectural scheme, it is yet
the presence of definite architectonic qualities which contribute largely
to the high essence of the creation. The presence of such qualities may
not in itself be of predominant importance, but with their removal comes
an immediate tendency toward a less dignified conception, a realism,
natural perchance, and by reason of its very naturalness a thing to be
controlled and disciplined.

The time is not yet ripe when we may judge the relative position of the
architectural sculpture of today, and particularly that of America, where
traditions in art are most conspicuous by their absence, and where such
various traditions as have been carried over into the new world from the
old are being simultaneously followed in the works of various individuals.
American sculpture has sprung from the headsand handsofa fewscattered
individuals almost in its present growth, for what isa century and a
half in the development of an art from the first dawn of its heralding in a
new land? Thelargest opportunity for the development of such American
sculpture must lie in the category of monumental work for public or
semi-public possession.

In such work there must be a greater generalization, since its im-
pression is made upon a myriad different minds and must in each call
forth some answering response, and it is just such an opportunity as this
which is presented in the Field Museum.

JAN., I9QI9. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 205

In his appreciation of this opportunity, Mr. Hering has created a
distinguished group of sculptures of an inspiration sustained not only in
the broad, general conception of the work, but throughout the infinite
variety of the detail, a group which can only be recognized as one of the
most important contributions to American sculpture.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR.
1919

To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History:

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

Uncertainty as to the date of removal to the new Museum building
in Grant Park was as far as humanly possible dissipated at the close
of the year, by the joint opinion of all parties and agencies concerned
in the big task that this movement could safely begin the latter part of
April, and it is upon this understanding that the personnel of the
Museum will enter the new year; with over ninety per cent of the ma-
terial ready for transportation and the building practically completed.
All the contracts incident to this most important work will have been
closed during January and all arrangements perfected for the building
of spur tracks from the Illinois Central Railroad to platforms to be
constructed near the openings in each building provided for forwarding
and receiving. It is now estimated that the transfer of all properties
may be accomplished within sixty days and that before the end of 1920
sufficient installation will have been completed to justify admission of
the public to at least certain sections of the new building.

After rather protracted negotiations, but without any serious dispute,
the contract with the Government permitting the hospitalization of the
new Museum building was cancelled and the Museum accepted from the
Government an allowance as full satisfaction of the expenses incurred
and additional cost imposed during the time the Government controlled
building operations.

Mr. James Simpson, Vice-President of Marshall Field & Company
and for many years the confidential associate of Marshall Field, donated
to the Museum such a sum of money as would be required to construct
the 1arge assembly hall, or auditorium, in the new building. This gift
was accepted with expressions which the circumstance would naturally
invite. Subsequently, it was determined to dedicate this auditorium as
“James Simpson Theatre of Field Museum of Natural History. ”
It will accommodate one thousand people. A stage and its ordinary
accompaniments, foot lights, orchestra stall, etc., are included in the

393

304 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V.

plan. The interior treatment of the theatre will be in harmony with that
of the main building and it will be equipped with every modern appliance
for facility and comfort.

The Trustees have named the large hall along the east side of the
Department of Botany on the second floor of the new building in honor
of Mrs. Stanley Field. In this hall will be installed the collections in
plant reproduction, for which expensive and elaborate work under the
direction of the Department of Botany, Mrs. Field has provided the
essential funds. It will be known as Sara C. Field Hall.

The plaster model of the new Museum building, which has been on
exhibition in the Rotunda of the present building for several years, by
vote of the Board of Trustees has been presented to the Architectural
School of Armour Institute.

The Woman’s Temple building, located at the corner of La Salle and
Adams streets, mortgage upon which was given to the Museum by Mar-
shall Field before his death and which mortgage was foreclosed after
years of default, was sold to the State Bank of Chicago during the month
of May, and the proceeds added to the capital of the General Fund.

In order to increase the income to a sum demanded by the extended
service of the public schools by The N. W. Harris Public School Ex-
tension of Field Museum of Natural History, the heirs of the late Nor-
man W. Harris, who provided the foundation for the Extension, have
donated to the Museum the sum of $25,000.00.

Trustee William Wrigley, Jr., having granted an exclusive privilege
to the Museum to survey, excavate and collect archzological material
on Catalina Island, the Museum, by permission of the grantor, entered
in an arrangement with the Museum of the American Indian of New
York City to prosecute scientific investigation on this island for the
period of two years. An expedition for this purpose is to be com-
missioned by Mr. George G. Heye, President of the Museum of the
American Indian, early in 1920.

A gift of unusual interest came from President Field; a Chinese
cloisonné figure, perfect in execution and rich in color, about twenty-
two inches high, representing a Grand Lama of the Buddhist Church of
Tibet. Upon comparison with other images, the statue is identified as a
portrayal of Pal-dan-ye-she, a church dignitary only next in rank to
the Dalai Lama of Lhasa, and known as the Tashi Lama. Extended
reference to this donation is made elsewhere.

An important accession during the year consisted of the private bo-
tanical collection of Mr. Edward T. Harper of Geneseo, Illinois. This
collection is composed of t0,ooo fungi, 10,000 flowering plants, over
800 titles of books and pamphlets and approximately 1,500 photograph

negatives. Mr. Harper desiring to continue his collecting and notes on
this order of plants will remain in charge of this section in the Depart-
ment of Botany, as Assistant Curator of Cryptogamic Botany. The
transfer of the material will take place when the section which it is to
occupy in the new building is ready for its reception.

Mr. George Langford of Joliet, Illinois, presented to the Museum his
unusual collection of remains of mastodons obtained in Minooka, IIli-
nois, and also specimens of mosasaurs from Kansas. The mastodon
material includes remains of eight individuals. The expenses incurred
by Mr. Langford in connection with this transfer were borne by Trustee
Chauncey Keep.

The publication of ‘‘Sino-Iranica” by Dr. Berthold Laufer, Curator
of the Department of Anthropology, funds for which were provided by
Mrs. T. B. Blackstone and Mr. Charles R. Crane, has been completed
and distributed.

Mr. William Wrigley, Jr. has presented to the Museum a notable
collection of pre-Colombian gold ornaments from the United States of
Colombia, excavated near the river Neshi, which is described in detail
elsewhere. The gift comprises a brilliant and intrinsically valuable
contribution to the rare material in the Museum.

An advance in salaries and the allowance of generous bonuses for the
year 1919, recognized the increased cost of subsistence as well as the
protracted and commendable services of the recipients.

Mr. Stanley Field was unanimously elected by the Board of Trustees
an Honorary Member of the Institution, in recognition of the eminent
service he has rendered to science.

Mr. John P. Wilson was elected a Patron of the Museum, in recog-
nition of the eminent service he has rendered to the Institution.

The continued efforts of President Field to increase the Life Member-
ships of the Institution resulted in the election of the following during
the year: Mark Morton, Silas H. Strawn, Edward S. Moore, Leroy A.
Goddard, Robert H. Allerton, John V. Farwell, Ward W. Willits,
Frederic McLaughlin, John Borden, Lafayette McWilliams, Joy Morton,
Solomon A. Smith, Charles P. Wheeler, Frederick T. Haskell, Thomas
E. Wilson, George E. Scott, Frank Hibbard, Frank O. Lowden, William
O. Goodman, C. K. G. Billings, John W. Scott, G. F. Swift, Jr., A. G.
Becker, Garrard B. Winston, Henry C. Lytton, William A. Pinkerton,
David B. Jones, A. W. Goodrich, Thomas D. Jones, James C. Hutchins,
John B. Drake, L. J. Hopkins, John B. Lord, Thomas W. Hinde, Adolph
Nathan, Wallace C. Winter.

The death of Harlow N. Higinbotham, as a result of an automobile
accident in New York City on April 18, 1919, has to be announced.

—

306 Frerp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V.

Mr. Higinbotham took a very active interest as President of the Colum-
bian Exposition in securing for the Museum a vast quantity of material,
which was the nucleus of the collections, and as Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Museum for fifteen years and as President of the
Museum for twelve years, assisted effectively in the up-building of the
Institution. He presented the collection of Gems and Jewels now in-
stalled in a hall named in his honor and gave other interesting but less
costly material to the Museum. Mr. Higinbotham was succeeded as
President by the incumbent of that office in 1909.

At the last regular meeting of the year, the Trustees were informed
that the Founder of the Stanley Field Museum Employes’ Pension Fund
had suggested incorporating a system of life insurance in the benefits
of the pension plan and that the Committee in charge of pensions had
worked out a scheme which commended itself to Mr. Field. The Board
of Trustees gave its approval, and it is probable that by the first of
February, 1920, life insurance will be written upon the employes of
the Institution.

MAINTENANCE.— Lhe budget authorized by the Board of Trustees
provided the sum of $156,380.00 for the maintenance of the Museum for —
the year. The amount expended was $132,252.00, which sum includes
all expenditures made for preparing the entire contents of the Museum
for removal to the new building. A satisfactory margin of $24,130.00
appears as a result of the operations during the year. A further sum of
$9,039.00 was expended by special order of the Board of Trustees for
collections, bonuses referred to elsewhere, and expeditions, bringing
the total approximately to $141,300.00.

PuBLications,—During the year four publications were issued, com-
prising parts of four volumes, details of which follow:

In addition to the publications distributed for exchange purposes,
two hundred and sixty-eight have been sold to various individuals who
were not in a position to offer equivalent literature as an exchange.

THE LiprarY.—L here have been received by gift, exchange and pur-
chase 1,716 books and pamphlets, an increase over last year’s receipts.
The library contains 72,736 bound and unbound books and pamphlets.

No especial event affecting the welfare of the library has occurred
during the year; the endeavor has been to round out the work along the
usual lines. With the activities of the curatorial staff largely engaged in
preparations for moving to the new building, their requests for books
were comparatively few during the first half of the year. With the ces-
sation of that work and time again devoted to research their requests
were renewed for books necessary for the study of material for installa-
tion purposes. For immediate use forty-three works were purchased.
An important gift was received from Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus of a
rare and beautifully bound copy of Autograph Letters of Charles
Darwin, written to J. Jenner Weir during the year 1868; also auto-
graphed copies by Louis Agassiz. These are the initial contributions
to a very interesting collection to be known as, Gunsaulus collection of
personalia and souvenirs of eminent naturalists. Early in the year the
first volume of The Monograph of the Pheasants, by William Beebe,
was published by the New York Zodlogical Society; a beautifully il-
lustrated work of these gorgeous birds in their native haunts, to be
complete in four volumes. When the attention of Mr. Edward E. Ayer
was called to the work he immediately subscribed to the set for the Ayer
Ornithological Library of the Museum, Mr. Ayer has also presented
copies of Seth-Smith’s Handbook of the Imported Species (parakeets),
and Whitaker’s Birds of Tunisia. A number of desirable and valuable
publications were received from contemporary institutions, both domes-
. tic and foreign, in exchange for the publications of the Museum. The
number was especially noticeable because of the enormously enhanced
cost of book-production. The Museum was most fortunate in receiving

308 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V.

from the Museum of Comparative Zoélogy, Harvard College, an almost
complete set of its Memoirs, thirty-four volumes, covering the years
1864 to 1916. From the Sullivant Moss Society, New York City, was
received a set to date of its publication, The Bryologist, in sixteen vol-
umes. One hundred and seventeen books were bound during the
year. While it ordinarily is unwise to keep separate numbers of serials
and periodicals in an unbound condition, the prices of all materials
used in binding having increased nearly one hundred per cent in the
past few years, binding at present prices seems prohibitive. There
were written and filed in the catalogues 18,054 cards. The regular
monthly installment of author cards was received from the John Crerar
Library. The Museum is unusually indebted this year to large libraries
both in and out of Chicago for the loan of books that were necessary
in the performance of its work; these courtesies are gratefully ac-
knowledged, especially to the Library of Congress, the Library of the
Department of Agriculture, the Surgeon General’s Library, the John
Crerar Library and the Library of the University of Chicago. A list of
all accessions received by the Library during the year will be found
elsewhere in this report.

DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LABELING.—During the year,
in the Department of Anthropology, the work of cataloguing has
been carried on as new accessions were acquired, but this task was
naturally eclipsed by the necessary preparations for moving collections
into the new building. The total number of catalogue cards prepared
amounts to 577. These cards were distributed over the single divisions
as follows: China, Japan, and India 117; Melanesian Ethnology 325;
South-West, Mexican, and South American Archeology 125; and
North American Ethnology 1o. All these cards have been entered in
the inventory books of the Department, which now number thirty-
eight. The number of annual accessions amounts to twenty-five,
nineteen of which have been entered. ‘The total number of catalogue
cards entered from the opening of the first volume amounts to 153,548.
The photographer made 297 negatives and two enlargements, and sup-
plied 370 prints to the Department, 160 of these referring to Japanese
sword-guards. Twenty-four prints were added to the photographic
albums kept in the Department. ‘The printer delivered to the Depart-
ment a total of 5,419 labels for use in exhibition cases. These labels are
distributed as follows: New Guinea 1,939; Eskimo and Northwest
Coast 2,622; Mexico 841; and China 17. The printer further supplied
the Department with 700 catalogue cards. 373 new label cards were
added to the label file.

In the Department of Botany the entries made number 4,586,

bringing the total entries to 482,076. The card indexes have been aug-
mented as follows:

In the Department of Geology all accessions have been catalogued
in full as received, with the exception of the Langford collection, which,
as it was already packed on its arrival at the Museum, it seemed in-
advisable to unpack for final cataloguing until space should be available
for its installation. The entries made during the year number sor.
These were chiefly of specimens of the Klechner and Dahlgren col-
lections. A few labels have been made to fill gaps in the series of ex-
hibition labels.

Owing to the inaccessibility of most of the study collections in the
Department of Zoology, due to the preparation for removal to the new
building, comparatively little cataloguing and labelling has been pos-
sible. The total entries made during the year number 553. ‘There
have been added 153 new entries in the Division of Ichthyology and 87
in Herpetology. Data for these entries have been added to the card
catalogue and the specimens have been duly labelled and tin-tagged.
Labels have also been prepared for a considerable portion of the exhibi-
tion collection in Ichthyology. Only 2 entries were made during the
year in the Division of Osteology, an African elephant skull and a
white rhinoceros skull received in exchange from the American Museum
of Natural History. These were catalogued and index cards written to
complete the record. In the Division of Mammalogy 6 catalogue
entries were made and in the Division of Ornithology 305. The total
entries to date number 101,014. ‘The cards written during the year
number 193, making a total of 34,406.

Accessions.—l he most notable accession of the year in the Depart-
ment of Anthropology is represented by the generous and memorable
gift of Mr. William Wrigley, Jr., being the gold treasure excavated from
a mound on the river Nechi, in the province of Antigua, Colombia,
South America. This remarkable and unique collection consists of 36
pre-Columbian gold ornaments, comprising four large embossed breast-
plates of pure gold, two collars of gold foil, two rectangular plates, two
fragmentary sheets of gold foil, one necklace of gold beads, four pairs of
gold ear-rings, three cast figures of a bird, and eighteen miscellaneous
ornaments. The four breastplates were beaten out on stone moulds
carved in relief with the design required; they were apparently interred
with women of high social standing, who were buried adorned with
jewelry and ornaments they had most prized during their lifetime.
Two of these plates are selected for illustration in this Report; also
one of the birds and three of the ear-rings, which are exquisite both as
to artistic quality of design and perfection of technique. The gold collec-
tion has been installed in the Gem Room, and isaccompanied by a general
labelsettingforthitssignificance. Ithasattracteda great deal of attention
and given rise to many favorable comments, both in the press and on
the part of archeologists. Mr. Stanley Field made a notable gift to
the Department by adding to its Tibetan collection a fine portrait-
statue, 22 inches high, wrought in cloisonné enamel and representing a
Grand Lama of the Buddhist Church of Tibet. Comparison with other
known images permits the establishment of the identity of this person-
age. In all probability it is a portrayal of Pal-dan-ye-she, a church
dignitary only next in rank to the Dalai Lama of Lhasa and having his
seat in Tashilhunpo in central Tibet. He is known as the Tashi Lama,
being famous for having been the first Tibetan, who in 1774 entered into
negotiations with the Anglo-Indian Government through George Bogle,
an emissary of Warren Hastings, Governor General of India. In his
diary Bogle characterizes him thus: ‘‘His disposition is open, candid,
and generous. He is extremely merry and entertaining in conversation,
and tells a pleasant story with a great deal of humor and action. I
endeavored to find out in his character those defects which are insepara-
ble from humanity, but he is so universally beloved that I had no success,

and not a man could find in his heart to speak ill of him.” Subsequently,
he received an invitation from the Emperor of China to come to Peking,
where he spent a year in one of the Lama temples, highly honored by the
whole country. In 1780 he died a mysterious death, at the age of
forty-two, officially of small-pox, but more probably of poison ad-
ministered by imperial jealousy and disapproval of his intercourse with
the English. Technically his image is a masterpiece and the finest
specimen of cloisonné in the Institution. The background is yellow to
indicate the ruse of imperial yellow silk conferred upon the hierarch
by the Emperor. The designs woven in this robe are all skillfully brought
out by the process of inlaid enamels and represent the eight Buddhistic
emblems of happy augury,—canopy, wheel of the law, conch, umbrella,
lotus, vase, knotted cords, and double fish. The mitre is decorated
with two red dragons soaring in clouds. The pedestal is ornamented in
_ front with two lions in green, playing with a ball, and two dragons pur-
suing the flamed pearl; two elephants bearing tribute-gifts are shown on
the sides, and three lotus-blossoms decorate the back of the base. Face
and hands are gilt. Both composition and coloration are dignified and
~ harmonious, and the statue convéys an excellent characterization of
this historically interesting Grand Lama. Mr. Edward E. Ayer
remembered the Departmert during the winter spent on the Pacific
Coast, and a collection of six excellent krises, five from the Moham-
medan Moro of the Philippines and one of Borneo manufacture, prob-
ably from the Kenyah or Kayan, is due to his generosity. ‘The Borneo
blade is beautifully chased and inlaid with brass, while the ivory handle
is decorated with elaborate carvings. Three of the Philippine knives
have wavy blades, and two are of the straight blade variety. In the
latter group is a specimen of particularinterest, because it is inlaid with
a conventionalized floral pattern next to the hilt. A feather head-band
used in the white-deer dance of the Indians of California, a good stone
mortar with pestle, and a metate with muller, used by a child, were like-
wise presented by Mr. Ayer. His further contribution during the year
is a Sioux woman’s beaded dress of buckskin, taken by the late Lieut.
Frederick Schwatka of the 3rd Cavalry from the village of the hostile
Sioux chief, American Horse. This sleeveless, one-piece dress is probably
unique owing to the large quantity of pink beads displayed over the back
and breast extending onto the arms. This feature, together with its
extraordinary state of preservation, makes it a museum specimen of
the first order and now rarely encountered. A very unusual and
beautiful ancient slate carving of the Haida on Queen Charlotte
Islands, B. C., likewise obtained by Lieut. Schwatka at Victoria,
B. C., in 1891, was presented by Mr. Martin A. Ryerson. It is a master-

312 Frerp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V.

piece of primitive sculpture. During the year Mr. Homer E. Sargent
made two notable additions to his previous extensive contribution of
1917. These comprise two Pueblo squaw dresses secured about thirty
years ago, three excellent Navaho blankets of native wool and dyes, and
a Salish blanket of mountain-sheep wool, all of which strengthen the
former gift. The last-named blanket is illustrated in this Report.
To the continued interest of Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus the Museum
is further indebted for four remarkable additions,—first, a very
important and most interesting collection coming from the native
tribes of Formosa and brought to this country by S. Ishii, who for
fifteen years has been chief of the Ethnological Survey of the Japanese
Government on that island. It is well known that the task of the
traveler and collector is fraught there with difficulties, expecially in
view of the fact that the wild tribes are secluded in the high mountainous
regions. There are in this collection two complete costumes, one worn
by a warrior chief on head-hunting expeditions, and a woman’s dress.
Other prominent features are three fine necklaces of agate and colored
Venetian beads, which are highly prized by the natives and used for
bartering purposes; several valuable wood carvings decorated with ar-
tistic designs; large pieces of textiles; a sword with a wooden scabbard
carved with interesting ornaments; the model of a dugout, and several
carved tobacco pipes and musical instruments. In view of the close
affinity of the culture of the Formosan tribes with that of the Philip-
pines, especially northern Luzon, which, for instance, is brought out by
the artistic decorations of these specimens, this new material is of con-
siderable scientific interest. A number of interesting photographs and
two albums illustrating scenes of native life are added to the collection,
which, it is hoped, will be placed on exhibition in the new building and ©
act as a stimulus for future research in Formosa. Dr. Gunsaulus
likewise presented a fine decorated metal shield from India and a
celadon flower-vase in the shape of an elephant. Four glazed, orna-
mented porcelain tiles from Persia, due to his generosity, constitute a
good beginning for a Persian collection. Miss Helen C. Gunsaulus
donated a Japanese dagger with decorated sheath and hilt. Mrs.
Henry J. Patten of Chicago presented an extraordinary ancient
feather blanket from Rotorua, New Zealand, which was formerly the
property of a Maori chief. A collection of 33 specimens from China was
received from Mrs. Morgan S. Woodward of Chicago, being collected
by herself at Peking in 1900, after going through the siege of the British
Legation by the Boxer rebels. Among these are some trophies captured
by American soldiers from the Boxers, the most curious object being a
large jingal, about sixty pounds in weight, and inscribedin Chineseas hav-

ing been made in 1896in the Arsenal of Tientsin; such jingals were carried
by two soldiers on their shoulders and fired by a third man standing
behind. Mr. G. L. Fitz-William, chemical and mining engineer of
Hammond, Indiana, presented the Museum with an important ethno-
graphical collection from the San Blas Indians, whom he had visited
and studied. At the donor’s request, this collection is to be named,
in honor of his son, the ‘‘William Fitz-William Collection.” The
material is an excellent and representative collection from a very
interesting tribe on the Isthmus of Panama. While not far removed
from contact with civilization, this people preserves its aboriginality
and particularly its purity of blood tenaciously. While they have been
much brought into the light of publicity of late, the San Blas are sel-
dom visited, and their specimens are rarely seen in museums. The most
interesting part of the collection consists of women’s garments, which
are composed of many layers of bright colored cloths cut out in char-
acteristic designs. Mr. G. F. Vivian contributed seven bows and thirty-
six arrows from the Arawak of British Guiana, South America, collected
by Dr. Geo. D. B. Dods; this is good and representative material, and
there are several new types of arrows not heretofore in the Museum
collection. Assistant Curator Mason presented eighteen ethnological and
archeological objects from the Papago in Arizona, where he spent several
weeks in the beginning of the year under a special leave of absence
granted by the Institution. Mr. Joseph R. Morris of Deerfield, Illinois,
donated twenty-three objects relating to Indian ethnology, collected at
Fort Peck, Montana, in 1876. Among the prominent specimens in the
lot are two choice blanket stripes, a buckskin gun-case, two splendid
pouches, four knife-cases, and a netted wheel. Mr. Alfred R. Brown,
Director of Education, Tonga, South Pacific, from whom the Museum
purchased an Andaman Island collection in 1910, presented this year a
small collection from the same group, which, while adding nothing new
to the material on exhibition in the Museum, is of considerable scientific
value. The technical culture of the aborigines of the Andaman Islands
is not very rich, and at best yields a few weapons—chiefly bows and
arrows,— some basketry, crude pottery, and scanty garments which are
decorative and commemorative rather than for protection. All these
are represented in this collection, and in addition a few modern imita-
tions of the ancient bone-tipped arrows used in hunting and warfare.
Included in the gift are two wood-carved images from the Nicobar
Islands. One of these, the figure of a woman, is an excellent piece of
native carving, and is a distinct addition to the exhibition collections.
Such figures are believed to drive sickness and evil influences away
from a house or village. While in Manokwari, Dutch New Guinea, in

December, 1912, Assistant Curator Lewis left a small sum in care of
F. J. F. van Hasselt, a missionary stationed there, for the purpose of
obtaining specimens from the north coast of Dutch New Guinea. This
missionary was in the habit of taking trips every year to various parts
of the coast, and stated that in the course of two or three years he could
easily make a fairly representative collection. Owing to long delays
in shipping caused by war conditions, the material arrived here only in
July of this year. The collection comprises over three hundred speci-
mens from various places along the north coast of Dutch New Guinea,
including some fine large wooden figures, house ornaments, and about
twenty-five ancestral images, called korwar. These are rare and valu-
able. Weapons, implements, household utensils, clothing and orna-
ments are all well represented. This part of New Guinea has been more
or less visited by Europeans for many years, and very little of original
native workmanship is at present to be had. The influx of the nu-
merous Chinese and Malays settled along the coast has also tended to
destroy or modify the native industries. Hence, but little from this
region can be obtained, and that often betrays foreign influence.

The Department of Botany received the following important ad-
ditions to its herbarium during the year: From the Philippine Bureau of
Sciences 646 plants of the Philippines; Miss Anna King 300 specimens
from Illinois; Paul C. Standley 285 Mexican plants of Arséne and
Nicolas; B. F. Bush 70 plants of Missouri; Geological Survey of Canada
248 Canadian plants; Mrs. Stanley Field Plant Reproduction Section
102 plants of Georgia and Florida; Bernice Pauhai Bishop Museum
262 Hawaiian plants; The New York Botanical Garden 507 West
Indian plants; C. F. Millspaugh 65 Wisconsin plants; H. M. Denslow
“3 New England plants, and F. E. McDonald 63 plants of Illinois.
The regional distribution of fully organized material to the herbarium
in 1919 is shown in the following tabulation:

The most important accession received by the Department of Geol-_
ogy during the year was a large collection of vertebrate fossils presented
by Mr. George Langford. This collection represents the results of
many years of labor on the part of Mr. Langford, and is valuable, not

JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 317

only for the amount of the material contained in it, but also for its well-
prepared condition. The collection consists of two principal series,
one chiefly of remains of mastodons obtained in Minooka, Illinois, and
the other of specimens of mosasaurs from Kansas. The mastodon
material includes remains of eight individuals, which range in age from
a young calf to an adult. Of one large, adult male, portions of the
skull, complete lower jaws, many limb bones, vertebrae, ribs and foot
bones are preserved, as well as a tusk nine feet in length, probably the
largest tusk of an animal of this species everfound. The other individu-
als of this series are represented by various skeletal parts, an especially
important feature being that the entire tooth development of the masto-
don is shown by specimens ranging from the first milk teeth to the
ponderous, grinding molars of the male adult. Of the collection il-
lustrating mosasaurs, the most important feature is two nearly perfect
skulls, one two feet, the other eighteen inches in length which have been
carefully excavated from their matrix and mounted free. These display
in remarkable completeness the characters of the heads of these extinct
“sea serpents.”? Some vertebrae are also associated with these skulls.
A large jaw of a Columbian mammoth and a head of the fossil fish,
Gillicus, also are included in the collection. Three complete individuals
from the meteorite fall which occurred at Cumberland Falls, Kentucky,
in April of this year, have been added to the meteorite collection, one
being the gift of Mr. W. R. Jillson. The meteorites of this fall are of
peculiar interest on account of their unique composition and structure.
Of the meteorites of Richardton, North Dakota, which fell June 30, 1918,
four individuals, aggregating about ten pounds in weight, were ob-
tained, partly by purchase and partly by exchange with Professor T. T.
Quirke. By exchange with the British Museum, representative speci-
mens of the Baroti, Kuttipuram and Warbreccan meteorites were
secured. A specimen of amethyst showing remarkable distribution of
color, and two valuable crystals of scheelite were presented by Mr. W. J.
Chalmers as additions to the Chalmers crystal collection. Several
specimens of high-grade gold ore from Cripple Creek, Colorado, showing
considerable free gold, were presented with other material by Mrs. G.
Mace, and a collection. containing, among other specimens, several
minerals used in optical work was received by gift from Dr. Geo. M.
Gill. By exchange with Prof. M. E. Kleckner, about one hundred speci-
mens of crystallized celestite, fluorite, calcite and sphalerite from locali-
ties in Ohio and Michigan and of forms previously unrepresented in the
Museum were obtained. Six specimens of typical Barbadoes earth
and one of globigerina marl from the Barbadoes Islands were obtained
by exchange with the University of Iowa. These illustrate deposits of

318 Fretp MusEum or Natura History — Reports, Vou. V.

deep-sea origin which also have industrial uses. Dr. B. E. Dahlgren
during his stay in Florida and other southern states collected for the
department about one hundred and thirty geological specimens chiefly
from Florida, but also from localities in Kentucky and Tennessee. These
included sixteen specimens of varieties of soils, marls, mucks and sands
characteristic of certain portions of Florida; several large specimens of
coquina, illustrating the varieties and forms which characterize the
structure of this peculiar aggregate, and ninety specimens of inverte-
brate fossils, partly from recent formations in Florida and partly from
formations of Chester age in Kentucky and Tennessee.

The principal accession during the year in the Division of Mammal-
ogy was secured by gift from Col. Dale Bumstead of Oak Park. It
consists of three well-prepared skins and skulls of the Lower California
mountain sheep and several skulls of mule deer. The Division of
Ornithology received 217 bird skins, 67 of which represent a part of the
Museum’s share from the Collins-Day expedition. An African elephant
skull and a white rhinoceros skull were received as an exchange from
the American Museum of Natural History. Among the additions made
to the shell collection is a gift from Mr. Giuseppe Despott of the Natural
History Museum in Malta, which consists of 433 named and well labeled
specimens from the Maltese Islands. The fact that the Museum had
few shells from these islands adds to the value of this acquisition. There
were 949 Shells and to crustaceans added to the Department during the
year. A total of 63 specimens of insects was received, of which number
57 were a gift and 6 an exchange. The accessions in the Division of
Ichthyology and Herpetology consisted chiefly of gifts, totaling 284
specimens. ‘The most important of these is a collection of thirty amphi-
bians and reptiles from the Mississippi River Valley, presented by
Mr. J. W. Mackelden of St. Louis. Mr. Leon L. Pray, Mr. William J.
Gerhard, Mr. Herbert L. Stoddard, and others, added a number of
desiderata to the collection of Illinois and Indiana snakes. Mr. Stoddard
also donated a collection of wall lizards, taken by him while in the service
in France. Mr. J. G. Sinclair presented a few amphibians and reptiles
from Arizona, Mr. M. H. Sackheim three from New Mexico, and Mr.
Charles L. Hubbs several from southern California.

EXPEDITIONS AND FIELD Work.—Finds of remains of mastodon at two
localities, Monee, Illinois, and Leiter’s Ford, Indiana, were investigated
by Assistant Curator Riggs. The mode of the occurrence of the bones at
these localities was studied, some exploration conducted at the sites and
negotiations entered into with the owners of the specimens which may
result in securing desirable material later. As a result of a trip to
Porcupine, Ontario, Canada, gold-mining district, a number of typical

ores and rocks of the region were secured by Assistant Curator Nichols.
Assistant Curator Hubbs carried on some local field work for the Depart-
ment of Zodlogy, obtaining a number of specimens for mounting in
small groups, as well as a series of certain species for the study collection.
INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT——Most of the
time of the members of the staff of the Department of Anthropology
was consumed by the complex preparations in connection with the
moving operations, chiefly assembling, sorting, and arranging mate-
rial for packing, dismantling and charting cases, preparing and labeling
material for future installation in the new building, and keeping exact
records of the location of packed material. As a sequel to this labor, all
plans previously prepared for the halls of the new building were sub-
jected to a thorough revision and to numerous modifications. Frequent
visits were made to the new building by members of the staff, and the
study of actual conditions permitted the visualizing of the situation
_ more correctly than was possible from the floor plans. The total result
of this year’s packing in the Department of Anthropology may be
summed up in dry figures as follows: 615 exhibition cases, 320 boxes,
457 crates, 76 cartons, 80 bundles or packages in burlap, and 27 kegs
and barrels. All these items have been properly labeled and numbered.
The process of packing may be regarded as practically completed.
There were prepared for installation in the new building ror cases,
covering the Eskimo and the tribes of the northwest Coast of America,
the Coast and Interior Salish, and the Plateau Indians. This required
the complete or partial dismantling of 123 cases formerly on exhibi-
tion. In conformity with the new principles of installation, all dupli-
cate material was eliminated, which has resulted in a net saving of
twenty-two cases. In the new arrangement, also a considerable quan-
tity of material formerly in storage is placed on exhibition, while many
large specimens which have stood in the open, or have been attached
to the walls, are now safely sheltered behind glass. It has been the
endeavor to arrange the material in geographical and cultural sequence
using an adequate number of specimens to illustrate the every-day,
esthetic, and religious life of the people. In the Divisions of Archaeology
and Ethnology twenty-two cases were arranged for future installation
in the new building. These refer to the archaeology of Colombia and
Mexico and to the ethnology of the Upper Amazon, Central Brazil
and Paraguay. In most instances, all available material was selected
for exhibition, but surplus and duplicate objects have been relegated
to study and exchange collections. Special care has been taken of the
group cases. A detailed plan of each has been made to be utilized in
the new building for the reconstruction of the groups. Reproductions

320 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V.

of three Hopi altar-mosaics of the Powamu ceremony in papier-maché
and in their correct colors have been made, which may eventually
replace the present mosaics of sand. In view of the importance of the
packing operations, the repair section of the Department was tempor-
arily closed until October 1st. Careful attention was devoted to the
treatment of the Egyptian sculptural stones in the Department, which
was carried on under the supervision of the Curator of Geology. The
results thus far obtained are very satisfactory. Seventy-five cases
were cleaned and poisoned during the year. The appointment of Miss
Helen C. Gunsaulus as Assistant Curator of Japanese Ethnology,
permits the systematic and intelligent study and disposition of con-
siderable material in this division already in the possession of the De-
partment of Anthropology. Miss Gunsaulus brings to the work she
has undertaken, studious habit and special training, with enthusiasm
and aptness for museum practice, as the work thus far done upon the
collections in this division gives evidence.

The Department of Botany installed no cases during the year,
the time of the staff being expended in packing for removal to the new
building. All the exhibition cases in the department were securely
packed for transportation; this packing being so done that the contents
of each case may be returned thereto with a minimum of time expended.
Such specimens as could not be fastened securely 2m situ in the cases,
were enclosed in cartons and packed in the lockers of the cases to which
they pertain. The base lockers in each case were utilized for packing.
In them were placed all duplicate and study specimens, each in an
individual paper box or corrugated paper parcel, and all bottles enclosed
in “egg-case” partitioned cartons designed to fit the bottles.
Thus the specimens of each case remain with the case to which they
pertain. Lockers not needed for the case contents were packed with
bundles of mounted plants belonging to the herbarium collections.
The exhibition cases are now all ready for removal and labeled as to the
hall and spot on the floor of each hall that they are to occupy in the new
building. Notwithstanding this packing, a large number of the
cases are still on creditable exhibit, not materially disturbed though fully
ready for transportation. In addition to the exhibition case packing,
over 480 numbered boxes and crates of material have been packed for
removal. In all cases a complete record has been kept of the packages
and their contents. While the herbarium has not yet been disorganized,
it has been made ready for packing while still referable. This and the
appurtenances of the offices and laboratories can be prepared for
removal promptly after transportation actually begins. The plant
reproductions made in the Mrs. Stanley Field Laboratories, have been

JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 321

left on exhibition in their regular places in each case. These will remain
so installed until the moving force begins operations. The work of the
staff of the Mrs. Stanley Field Laboratories has not been interrupted.
The first four and a half months of the year were spent in Miami,
Florida, where the laboratory and garden of the Plant Introduction
Station of the U. S. Department of Agriculture served as headquarters
and furnished facilities and accommodation. For this the Museum is
indebted to Mr. David Fairchild, Agricultural Explorer in charge of the
Plant Introduction Bureau of Plant Industry in Washington, and to
Mr. Edward Simmonds, Superintendent of the Garden and Field Station
in Miami, to the former for liberally extending to the Museum the privi-
leges of the laboratory and station, and to the latter for innumerable
acts of kindness and assistance, which made it possible to pursue the
work successfully here. ‘Thanks are also due to Mrs. Simmonds and the
members of the staff of the Department of Agriculture who were
stationed at the Laboratory during the past winter, viz., Dr. J. Rosen-
baum, plant pathologist, Mr. Chas. E. Sando, plant physiologist, and
_ Mr. Max Kisliuk, entomologist. The friendly and helpful attitude of
all these men was a matter greatly to be appreciated in the rather
narrow quarters of the laboratory. The main object of transferring the
work to Florida for the winter was to secure studies and material for
certain desirable plants which could be had and handled there more
readily and economically than anywhere, namely: the Cocoanut palm,
the Banana, the Pineapple, the Florida Cycad (Zamia), etc. The
material needed for the reproduction of the specimens was secured.
The most perishable parts were cast and colored and plaster moulds
were made of other parts, formalin material packed and sent to the
Museum, and photographs, color sketches and detail studies secured
for use after return. At the same time there were found in the Plant
Introduction Garden a number of interesting plants which fitted exactly
into the plans for the Museum botanical exhibits. Such were, for in-
stance, the South African Carissa or Natal Plum, introduced into the
United States in 1901 by Mr. Fairchild and now grown as a hedge plant ~
in many places in southern Florida. This is an excellent example of the
type of plant which can scarcely be reproduced successfully except in
the field, where it can be studied from day to day as the work progresses.
The Silk Cotton tree, Bombax, with its large crimson flowers furnishes
another such illustration. One of these flowers was made on the spot
during the week or ten days the tree was in blossom. On the strength
_ of this and the moulds which were made at the same time, a splendid
branch of the Silk Cotton tree has been added to the exhibits. Another
introduced South African plant of much interest found growing in the

322 Frerp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V.

subtropical garden was a scrubby tree of the Strychnine family, Strych-
nos spinosus, with large green or yellow fruit superficially resembling a
grapefruit, but with a hard shell and chocolate colored pulp of pleasant
taste and a clove like fragrance. A flowering and fruiting branch of this
has also been added to the exhibits. One of the main lines of investiga-
tion and experimental culture pursued at the garden concerns Avocadoes,
or Alligator Pears. Numerous varieties from diverse localities are
being tried out here, with a view to the introduction into Florida of
those found most suitable and valuable for general cultivation. Three
thoroughly well-defined types, a Guatemalan, a Mexican and a West
Indian, together with a Guatemalan-Mexican hybrid, were considered
of sufficient public interest to be added to the collection. Of these
reproductions were made. A number of other plants especially desired
by the Department for its exhibits were collected and cast or modeled in
part during the period in Miami. Such are the Seven-year Apple
(Casasia), Pandanus, the Screw-pine, in flower; Casuarina Australian
Pine or Beef-wood tree, Long staple Cotton, Water Hyacinth, etc.
A pitcher-plant of the southern large-leaved, yellow flowered species,
Sarracenia flava, was collectedon the return to Chicago in the latter part
of May. A single pitcher of this plant, measuring 38 inches, has since
been reproduced and placed on exhibition. Some tubers and plants
which were brought back in a living condition are being grown for the
Museum by the Garfield Park greenhouse. Among these are a large
Yam, a Zamia, etc. A Spider Lily (Hymenocallis caribea) from Florida,
grown at Garfield Park, has been reproduced as a type of Amaryllid lily.
Within the last few months a Banana plant (a flowering and fruiting
specimen) has been reproduced complete and has been installed tempora-
rily on the gallery. Also a sprouted Cocoanut showing the relation of
the seedling plant to the seed and old husk; a Cocoanut flower enlarged;
the flowers of Casuarina enlarged; enlarged flowers of Scrophularia;
enlarged flowers of Sagittaria; a branch of a Quince from Fort Valley,
Georgia; a witches’-broom on the Sand pine; a mounted dry specimen of
air plant (Tillandsia); a reproduction of the Natal Plum, a branch with
fruits and flowers. A set of tomatoes, parasitized by the different fungi
that constitute the main pests of this industry, were obtained at the
Miami Laboratory, where this matter was being investigated, and were
reproduced for the economic collections. At the same time pure cultures
of the fungi in question were furnished by the plant-pathologist, and it
is the intention of the Department to exhibit in connection with the
affected fruit a model of each fungus sufficiently enlarged to make its
structure plain to the naked eye. A longitudinal section of a common
Fig enlarged, together with a corresponding model of the male fig, or

JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 323

capri-fig, has just been completed. It shows as plainly as such models
can the interesting and peculiar story of the pollination of the fig, and
the intricate life-history of the minute hymenopterous insect concerned.
A flowering branch of Grevillea robusta Australian oak, with the enlarged
flowers modeled last year, completes the illustration of the Proteaceae.
A summary of the results of the year’s work in this Section is as follows:
Reproductions completed and placed on exhibition: Banana, entire
plant in flower and leaf; Sprouting cocoanut, entire plant; Carissa
grandiflora, fruit and flower branch of leaf; Cydonia japondas, branch
in fruit and leaf; Scrophularia Marylandica, flower erilarged; Hymeno-
calles cartbeéa, entire plant; Strychnos spinosus, fruit and flower in leaf;
Sagtttaria latiufobia, flower enlarged; Casuarina equtsetifolia, flower
enlarged; Casasta clustiflolia, branch fruiting and leafing; Bombax
grandiflora, branch flowering and leafing; Grevillea robusta, branch
flowering and in leaf; Rhizoctonia solan1, Macrosporium solant, Phyto-
phiora infestans, Phoma destructiva, on Lycopersicum esculentum; also
‘parts of Zamia, Cocoa, Amanas and Gossypium.

In the Department of Geology some installation has been performed,
chiefly for the purpose of putting some mounts into such condition that
they could be moved with safety. Tothis end, mounting ofalargeskele-
ton of Megacerops was completed and the mount placed in a case in which
it is at present exhibited and can probably be transported. This skeleton
is made up entirely of the bones of a single individual and is very nearly
anatomically complete, only two or three vertebrae being missing.
A few of the limb bones were modeled from corresponding parts on the
opposite side, but this was done with entire accuracy by casting. The
skeleton is the only one of this genus which has as yet been mounted in
any museum, and is the first specimen to show that the members of the
genus were long-tailed animals. It was among the most primitive of the
Oligocene titanotheres and was about the size of the modern black
rhinoceros. The skeleton is mounted in three-quarters relief. The
matrix, base and background against which the skeleton is shown have
been made of plaster, colored to imitate the greenish clay in which the
Specimen was found. ‘The plaster has also been tooled in such a manner
as to suggest the excavation of the skeleton from the matrix. The
posture is that of an animal in life, the skeleton being supported on its
feet. The head, neck, torso and right limbs are, however, connected
with the background for support, and the feet are partially enclosed in
the matrix. Iron rods, made as inconspicuous as possible, have been
introduced to support the left limbs. The specimen was collected in
South Dakota in 1898 by a Museum expedition. After dismounting
some of the dinosaur specimens for packing, the opportunity was im-

324 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vou. V.

proved to make some modifications in the positions of the bones which
study had shown would more correctly represent their relations. Some
readjustments of the installation of the meteroite collection have been
made in order to introduce new specimens and group more closely the
different classes. | Packing of exhibited specimens has been carried
on as rapidly as possible during the year, and as a result the contents of |
two hundred and forty-one cases have been made ready for shipment,
leaving only thirty-eight cases still to be packed. In addition, the work
of packing the remaining study and stored collections has been carried
on and brought to completion except for some specimens now stored in
the basement. Practically all material exhibited on bases, such as the
large fossil vertebrate mounts, has also, with the exception of the large
dinosaur, been disassenibled as far as was necessary and made ready for
transportation. In choosing the sequence of collections for packing,
those in halls somewhat removed from the main passageways were taken
first, in order that the movements of visitors might be interfered with
as little as possible while the work of packing was going on. All but
three halls of the Department have now been closed to the public, and
their contents packed. In these three remaining halls many of the
specimens have been packed in such a way as to make them still available
for observation. In packing, owing to the weight and hardness of
many of the specimens on exhibition in the Department, it was found
necessary to remove most of them from the cases and place them in
boxes of sizes and shapes suitable for their transportation. In so doing
considerable attention was paid to recording the position of the speci-
mens in the cases in such a way as to ensure their rapid and accurate
reinstallation on their arrival at the new building. For this purpose
each case was given an arbitrary number which includes the temporary
number of the hall to which the case is to be sent in the new building.
This number has also an absolute value, and is to be retainedfor the case
evenif anotherlocation for the caseshould bedecidedupon. Before remov-
ing the specimens from the case, each specimen was given anumber showing
the location of the specimen within the case, the numbering being in a
uniform order for each case, where the specimens were installed in such
a manner as to permit. Thus a number 3-10 indicates that in rein-
stallation the specimen is to be placed on the third shelf from the top
of the case and tenth in position from the left end of the shelf. A label
bearing this installation number is wrapped with each specimen and on
the reverse side of the corresponding printed label a similar number is
penciled. In some cases the installation numbers of the specimens were
marked on slips which were then fastened in the cases in the positions
which the specimens occupied. In other cases, especially where the

JAN., 1920 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 328

installation did not fall into orderly lines, sketches were made on cross-
section paper which showed in each case the amount and position of the
space occupied by each specimen; the spaces were then numbered and
corresponding numbers were wrapped with the specimens and penciled
on the labels. The sketch itself was then in each instance fastened inside
the corresponding case, so as to prevent its being transferred to any
other exhibit. Specimens mounted upon tablets, which include most of
the invertebrate fossils, were, for the most part, fastened securely in
drawers underneath the cases. Sketches of the positions of the tablets
in the cases were first made and numbered and corresponding numbers
were penciled on the reverse sides of the tablets. Upon the outside of all
packages and boxes containing specimens removed from cases, large
department labels similar to those fastened inside the exhibition cases
have been placed, giving the corresponding hall and case numbers, so as
to insure constant connection of the specimens with the case. There
is, further, painted on each package or box a brief label in the department
color which describes the nature of the contents. A record has also
been prepared in book form which shows in detail the numbers and forms
of the exhibition cases and in adjoining columns the halls and alcoves
in which the cases are to be placed. As containers for specimens to be
packed, boxes and barrels were chiefly used, boxes of the size 36” x 20”
x 14” being found especially suitable. Several thousand cartons and
small wooden boxes were also employed, either as shipment units or for
enclosing individual specimens or groups of specimens in larger boxes.
Specimens which would be injured by moving in any other than an
upright position were fastened in the exhibition cases. The method
for fastening usually adopted was that of screwing metal studs into
the metal strips used for supporting brackets at the back of the case and
fastening wooden strips on the front of the studs in such a manner as to
firmly enclose the specimen and its accompaniment of packing mate-
rial. Other specimens of such shape that their transportation in
boxes would be unsafe, were similarly packed in the cases, and the speci-
men labels have generally been packed in the cases in which they were
originally exhibited. The packing of the fossil collections especially
called for varied handling according to weight, mass and fragility. Much
storage material which was still in the plaster and burlap wrapping in
which it came from the field, was packed in strong boxes of 7% inch
lumber. The collections stored in wooden trays, consisting mostly of
specimens that had partially been removed from the matrix, were packed
in the trays. Specimens in smaller containers, such as paper trays, were
wrapped with the trays, each with its label enclosed, and the whole
packed snugly in wooden trays by the use of excelsior. These trays

326 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V.

were then stacked to form units of 15 inches in height, the uppermost
tray being turned bottom up so as to form a cover. The whole was then
formed into a bale. This proved not only the quickest and most
effective means of packing, but had the advantage of keeping the
specimens in the same trays which are to serve as storage for them in the
new building. The large casts, such as those of Megatherium and Had-
rosaurus were taken down and crated in sections. The head and legs
were removed, and the thorax reenforced by longitudinal rods lashed
across the ribs and secured at either end. All were then crated in units
of such size as to permit easy transportation. Smaller skeletons,
such as those of the Irish Deer, Glyptodon and Uintatherium were
crated on their bases, with the heads removed when too large to be
readily enclosed. Smaller skeletons of a fragile nature were, with their
bases, placed in light crates, and were secured by a series of cordage stays
running to the sides of the crates. Thus secured, the specimens were
returned to the exhibition cases and fastened in position either by means
of wires running to iron straps in the back of the case or by blocks
screwed to the bottom of the case. Specimens packed in exhibition
cases in this way are believed to be assured a safer handling than those
placed in unprotected crates. Smaller specimens, such as skulls, were
generally packed in paper cartons and secured in the exhibition cases
either by blocks or by long, wooden braces fastened to iron studs screwed
into the perforated and threaded strips designed to support the shelf-
brackets. In some instances, however, the cartons were packed in large,
wooden boxes. Very large skulls, such as those of Titanotherium and
Eobasileus, were packed in special wooden crates and the whole returned
to the exhibition cases to be moved in them. The Miocene camel
skeleton was packed by disarticulating the legs, removing the head and
pelvis, and supporting the torso on short, upright rods attached to a
temporary base. The whole was then fastened firmly in an exhibition
case. A number of heavy and fragile objects, such as specimens of
Daemonelix and dinosaur bones, required re-enforcing. This was accom-
plished by the use of plaster and burlap, plaster and iron rods or a
combination of all these. Since the spirals of Daemonelix made up of
loosely-cemented sand, would little more than bear their own weight
when in an upright position, they were, before removal from the ex-
hibition case, reenforced with plaster and strips of burlap. To guard
against possible breakage and crumbling, four quarter-inch rods were
laid across the spirals parallel to their main axes. The peripheries of
the spirals were then wound with plaster bandages which, crossing the
rods at every turn, bound the whole firmly together. The mounts of
dinosaur limbs were taken down and each large bone crated separately.

JAN. 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 327

Previously to crating, the bones were covered with tissue paper to pre-
vent the plaster from adhering to their finished surfaces, 2x4 inch timbers
were fitted to the surfaces thus prepared, and all was lashed fast with
plaster and burlap bandages. A similar treatment was given the large
skull of Triceratops, which, owing to its thin and brittle substance, re-
quired especial care. Secure packing of the six hundred specimens of
crude petroleum also presented a problem of some difficulty. These
oils were exhibited in glass-stoppered bottles eighteen inches high and
an inch and a quarter in diameter. No practicable method of sealing
the stoppers oil-tight without defacing the bottles was found, since
leakage was to be expected if the bottles were not maintained in an
upright position. It was necessary also to avoid the use of excelsior
or other finely divided packing material which might, in case of accident,
becomesaturated with oil. Accordingly the stoppers were secured against
loosening by tying caps of cheesecloth over them. The bottles were then
placed in light, wooden boxes each of a size to hold thirty and of a
height to allow one-quarter of the length of each bottle to project. To
each box two pieces of heavy straw board were fitted, one two inches
from the bottom and one over the top, and in these boards holes slightly
larger than the diameter of the bottles were cut. When the bottles were
threaded through these holes they were held flexibly but securely in
position, and the upper quarter of the bottles projecting above the box
was covered by crating which permitted a free view of the character of
the contents and will protect the box from being inverted or roughly
handled. To further facilitate carrying the bottles in proper positions,
each box was equipped with suitable handles. The larger bottles of
the collection, some of them eighteen inches in diameter, were similarly
packed, though in specially made crates. Boxes of special sizes were
also provided for the collection of marbles, the size chosen being such
as to permit rapid packing and avoid too great weight. Of the series on
exhibition in the West Court, the relief maps and the large model of
the moon have been taken down and packed, leaving only the mete-
orite, crystal and gem collections now on exhibition.

Packing has been actively pursued in the Department of Zodlogy dur-
ing the year. The only material in the Division of Mammalogy and
Ornithology not ready for moving consists of the large habitat groups
and the study collection of birds. The entire serial exhibition col-
lections of mammals and birds have been secured in situ in their cases
by means of cleats and braces or other devices to hold them securely in
place. The study collection of mammals has been fully packed, mostly
in original containers and the rooms in which they were kept have been
dismantled. When not engaged in packing, one assistant has continued

328 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V.

in the preparation of plant accessories for the several large mammal
groups still uncompleted, the Olympic elk group, the bison group, and
the capybara group. The taxidermists have finished the preliminary
models and manikins for a single Alaska moose. A giraffe and a hippo-
potamus are partly finished and practically ready for installation. The
entire collection of the Division of Ichthyology and Herpetology was
packed during the year and is now ready for shipment to the new build-
ing. The Section of Taxidermy has prepared the accessories for a
number of small groups of local fishes and has been engaged in mounting |
certain fishes to fill in gaps in the synoptic series, which it is planned to
make comparatively complete. In the Division of Entomology over
three months at the beginning of the year were devoted to preparations
for moving. As the entomological collections can be packed rather
expeditiously and as it was unwise to render them inaccessible for any
great length of time, the members of this Division assisted in the prepa-
ration of other material for removal. A large part of the year has been
devoted to the making of two insect groups for a new case that was
designed and built to accommodate them. One of the groups will repre-
sent the most conspicuous and characteristic insects of the sand dune
region at Miller, Indiana, and the other will show the well known and
destructive tomato worm in all its stages and with wax reproductions
of its natural surroundings, etc. For specimens, casts of burrows,
leaves and other accessory material, local field trips were made whenever
they were considered necessary. While neither of the two groups has
yet been finished, both have been so far advanced toward completion
that they will be ready for installation by the latter part of January.
The Division of Osteology packed fifteen exhibition cases with mounted
skeletons and eighty-nine crates and boxes of various sizes, such as those
for the whale, elephant, rhinoceros, hippopotamus and camel, including
small ones for small ligamentary skeletons and skulls, which are now
ready for removal. The skeletons, numbering twenty-seven (mostly
ligamentary), that could not be packed in the condition they were in,
were remounted.

THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.
— At the close of the year there were 646 cases available for circulation
among the public schools of Chicago. In view of the painstaking me-
thods employed in the taxidermy and accessory work of all zodlogical
groups, itis with pride and pleasure that attention is called to the fact
that of the total cases available for circulation, fifty-eight zodlogical
cases were completed during the past year.

When plans were being formulated for the actual loaning of cases to
the public schools, it was the opinion of a committee composed of school

CO

JAN., 1920. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 320

principals that only schools of elementary grades would be best served
with loan cases. This idea has been followed out from the inauguration
of the system up to the present time. During the next scholastic year
the high schools, at the written request of Mr. J. E. Armstrong, Assistant
Superintendent of Schools, will be scheduled to receive cases. In his
request Mr. Armstrong said of the cases, “I have studied them with
great interest and am firmly of the opinion that they would be of very
great assistance in the high schools.”

The Superintendent of the Municipal Pier formally requested cases

_ be placed on exhibition on the pier during the period of school vacation,

as was done last year. His request was granted and twenty-four cases
were placed on exhibition there during the time specified. When the
cases were returned to the Museum the Superintendent expressed his
thanks and added, “‘I believe I am voicing the thanks also of a large
body of visitors who found entertainment and instruction in leisurely
contemplating your beautiful exhibits and the lessons they teach.”
In reptile and similar branches of taxidermy the employment of the
skin of a specimen for mounting has not given satisfactory results. The
effects usually obtained being a shrunken and parchment-like surface
and a fading and disappearance of the natural colors. As these faults
seemed impossible to remedy, the use of the specimen’s skin for mount-

ing purposes has practically been abandoned. Better, though not en-

tirely approved results, have been derived by making, in plaster, cellu-
loid and other materials, casts of specimens, which were afterwards
painted to represent the natural colors. Painting on the surface of a skin
or on a cast has never brought an effect comparable with the living
model. In order to produce an effect more natural in appearance than
that accomplished by the use of the skin or by casts, this Department
has been, at intervals during the past year, experimenting with pyralin,
celluloid and similar materials. With’celluloid as a medium it is found
possible to make reproductions of a character so closely resembling the
structure and coloring of the skin of the living specimen as to eliminate
the necessity of painting it, thus displacing the objectionable appearance
of paint as it is usually employed. Experiments have also been made in
foliage reproducing in celluloid, using electro-deposited metal molds
which possess strength sufficient to withstand the pressure required in the
molding operations. The strength and elasticity of the celluloid is such
as to correct the objectionable necessity of making the artificial leaf
unnaturally thick.

During the year a request was received from Mr. H. Bolton, Director,
Museum and Art Gallery, Bristol, England, and Secretary, Educational
section, The British Association for the Advancement of Science, for

330 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vou. V.

information concerning the work and scope of this Department, the
data thus provided to be placed before the Association’s meeting at
Bournemouth in September. A request was made for the loan of several
cases by the Woodlawn Branch of the Chicago Public Library.

The Director of the Orthogenic Department of Rush Medical Col-
lege, University of Chicago, visited this Department and after making a
careful study of the cases on hand, requested the loan froia time to time
of several of them, stating that they would be very helpful in instructing
backward children, classes of which are conducted by that college. The
request was granted and two cases of economic material were loaned.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR.
1920

To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History:

I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum
for the year ending December 31, 1920.

In every respect the year just closed must be considered as the most
important and momentous in the history of the organization. The
completion of the New Building, with the exception of the terrace,
approximately five years from the date when construction operations
- were inaugurated, and its occupancy are two factors which make the
period not alone noteworthy, but also establish a new epoch in the
dissemination of scientific knowledge. The Building may be said to
have been completed on or about June 1, 1920, but the transfer by rail
of the collections and equipment commenced on the 26th day of April
and was practically concluded by June 4th. The actual moving op-
erations by railroad thus consumed thirty-four working days. The
plans for. moving and the organization for carrying on the task had
been given careful consideration before work was begun and it isa
matter of congratulation that the undertaking was carried through
to its consummation without an untoward occurrence of any nature
and without serious damage to the material transported. As it was
thought advisable to move the heavier objects by motor trucks, this
method of transfer was inaugurated early in March and continued
with few interruptions daily until the beginning of September. In all
354 loads were handled in this manner and these were carried with the
same satisfactory result as the loads transported by railroad. As soon
as moving operations were concluded, installation was immediately
undertaken as reviewed elsewhere in this report. It may be said at this
date that fully one-third of the exhibition cases in the Museum have
been finally placed, reinstalled and in a great many instances entirely
relabeled. There is every indication that the entire exhibition area will
be completely installed on or about the first of May 1921, when it is
intended that the Museum shall be re-opened to the public.

During the year the President of the Museum, Mr. Stanley Field,
contributed the sum of $100,000.00 toward the deficit in the New

375

376 Fretp Museum oF Natura History — Reports, Vot. V.

Building Fund. The Board of Trustees in accepting this very generous
gift, expressed their appreciation with more than ordinary emphasis.

It is a pleasure also to announce that a contribution of $50,000.00
in the form of 500 shares of 7% preferred stock has been made by
Mr. Edward E. Ayer, the income of which after the death of Mrs. Ayer
and the donor is to be expended for the purchase of scientific books,
pamphlets and publications for the general Library of the Museum.
This provision for the future development of the Museum Library is
only another instance of Mr. Ayer’s life-long devotion and generosity
to the Museum. In view of the continued interest manifested by
Mr. Ayer in the expansion of the Library and especially on account of
his contributions in money and books to the ornithological section, it
has been decided to name the ornithological Library of the Museum the
‘‘Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library.”’

Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contribution of the sum
of $20,000.00 from the Honorable Charles R. Crane, or so much thereof
as may be necessary to complete the publication of the work being
prepared by the Curator of Zodlogy on ‘‘The Birds of the Americas.”

The additions to the scientific staff and maintenance forces during
the latter part of the year, having caused a deficit in the available funds
for the operation of the Museum, amounting to $19,755.32, at the
December meeting of the Board, the President announced that Mr.
Marshall Field had volunteered to assume this deficit.

President Field has further contributed the sum of $1,000.00 toward
the publication of a “‘ Record of the Life of the North American Indian,”
which is to consist of twenty volumes of text and illustrations and
twenty accompanying portfolios of copper plates and photogravures,
with the understanding that the Museum Library is to receive a set of
the work when completed.

The Corporate Members at a meeting held in May, decided to
amend the Articles of Incorporation, so as to provide for an increase
in the Board of Trustees of the Museum from fifteen to twenty-one
members. At this date four of the created vacancies have been filled by
the election of Mr. John Borden, Mr. Albert W. Harris, Mr. Solomon A.
Smith and Mr. James Simpson.

Through the further efforts of President Field to increase the Life
Memberships of the Institution, the following were elected during the
year: J. B. Lord, Thomas W. Hinde, Adolph Nathan, George D.
McLaughlin, Lawrence M. Viles, D. W. Buchanan, Frank O. Wetmore,
Alexander Smith, David M. Yates, Clifford M. Leonard, Frank W.
Porter, Charles H. Schweppe, William Wrigley, Jr., Charles Piez,
James B. Forgan, John McKinlay, Potter Palmer, Francis $. Peabody,

Mr. James Simpson was elected a Patron of the Museum, in recog-
nition of the eminent service he has rendered to the Institution.

Amendments to the By-Laws made during the year have created
two new classes of memberships, Associate Members and Sustaining
Members, and have also provided additional privileges for all classes
of memberships. These privileges are indicated in the revised By-Laws
which will be found in this report. In this connection also, an agreement
has been entered into with other contemporary institutions for an
interchange of courtesies and privileges for Life and Annual Members.

The Board of Trustees had presented for their consideration during
the year a proposal from the South Park Commissioners, asking the
consent of the Trustees. to the erection by the Commissioners of a
Stadium, which it is proposed to construct on the south side of the
Museum building and which would encroach one hundred and twenty
feet, approximately, upon the restricted areas, which under the terms
of the contract between the Museum Trustees and the South Park
Commissioners providing a site for the Museum building, it was agreed
should remain free of structures unless otherwise concurred in by the
Museum. After full consideration of the request, the Trustees gave
their consent to the construction of the Stadium as shown on the plans
submitted.

The ordinance under which the South Park Commissioners set aside
a tract of land in Grant Park for the site of the new building, in con-
sideration of which dedication the Institution is to be open free to the
public three days in each week, having been brought to the attention of
the Board of Trustees, it was decided that the Museum should be open
free to the public on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

During the year arrangements were made with the Illinois Central
Railroad to construct a foot-bridge over the tracks of the railroad at
Park Row which would permit foot passage from the Park Row station
platform, or from the Park just outside of the retaining walls east and
west of the tracks, the Museum to assume the cost of the structure.

378 Fretp Museum or Natura History — Reports, Vot. V.

This bridge has been completed and has greatly increased the means of
access to the Museum.

The scope of the Stanley Field Museum Employes Pension Fund
has been enlarged by its founder, the execution of an insurance contract
with the Aetna Insurance Company covering the lives of the personnel
of the Museum, with the premium paid out of this Fund, having been
authorized. In this contract it is stipulated that continuous service for
one complete year is pre-requisite to securing any insurance and that
the insurance automatically ceases upon the termination of the services
of the insured. Employes, who on February 1, 1920, had not been in
the service of the Museum for one complete year, automatically become
insured at the conclusion of that period, and are progressively entitled
to increasing benefits as set forth in the schedule adopted. This insur-
ance is without cost to the insured and imposes no obligation not already
attending the services of the employe.

MAINTENANCE.— lhe sum of $170,200.00 was appropriated by the
Board of Trustees for the necessary expenses of maintenance during
the fiscal year. ‘The cost of maintenance, however, amounted to
approximately $190,000.00, thus creating a deficit of approximately
$20,000, which, as referred to elsewhere in this report, was contributed
by Mr. Marshall Field.

Movine OperaTions.—Lhe following is a brief summary of the
extent and cost of the transfer of all collections, material and equipment
from the old building in Jackson Park to the new building in Grant
Park.

lost or misplaced in the process of the transfer.

Estimated cost of glass moved, at present day prices $753,000.00

Pustications.—During the year one publication was issued, detail
of which follows:

for the year 1919. January 1920. 69 pages, 14 halftones,
edition 2,000.

THE Liprany.—Notwithstanding the limitations that existing con-
ditions have imposed, the customary activities of the Library have been
carried on with a fair measure of success. There have been received
by gift, exchange and purchase 1,088 books and pamphlets. The Lib-
rary contains 73,824 books and pamphlets. Cards written and filed
in the catalogues number 6,690. The transfer of the contents of the
library to the new building was accomplished by using cartons, large
wooden containers and motor trucks. The space at present assigned

380 Fietp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. V.

to the office of the Library and the stack room is on the second floor.
The four departmental libraries are located on the third floor in rooms
adjoining each of the departments. The task of installing the exhibi-
tion halls has employed all assistance available and the work of shelv-
ing the libraries is in abeyance until the stack rooms can be com-
pleted when considerable time and labor will be necessary to reéstablish
the sequence of the original classification. The decision to have all
literature pertaining to the work of the departments placed in their
respective libraries necessitates a number of transfers and until these
transfers are effected and inventories taken it is not possible to ac-
curately state the number of books and pamphlets in each library.
The books of the anthropological and botanical departments have been
placed on the shelves. In the Department of Anthropology discarded
exhibition cases were converted into book cases and used to good
advantage. The library’s generous patron, Mr. Edward E. Ayer, pre-
sented the rare eight volume edition of Audubon’s Birds of North
America. During the year Mr. Ayer caused to be ordered one hundred
and fourteen volumes of ornithological works. Of these eighty-one
volumes have been received, a number of which are rare copies dating
back to 1776, and all are beautifully illustrated. A catalogue of all
the ornithological works in the library is in preparation, at the request
of Mr. Ayer, who has expressed a desire to supplement his already
splendid collection until it provides workers and students with as
complete an ornithological reference library as is obtainable. Gifts,
gratefully received from other sources, are acknowledged as such in the
list of accessions appended to the report. Exchanges were received
from four hundred and ninety-six institutions and individuals. The
first consignment of the publications of the Museum, since pre-war days,
was forwarded during the year to all countries where international
exchange service has been resumed. The continued upward trend of the
cost of all publications very seriously affects scientificliterature. Various
societies that have existed mainly for 4+ne publication of the results of
scientific research have had to either suspend publishing for the time
being or discontinue exchange relations and ask for subscriptions to
enable them to continue their work. Five new exchanges were effected
with the following: Federated Malay States Museums, Kuala Lumpur;
Museo de Etnologia y Antropologia de Chile, Santiago de Chile;
Ornithological Society of Japan, Tokyo; Manchester Geographical
Society of England; R. Academia de Ciencias y Artes, Barcelona.
Comparatively few purchases of books have been made as the time of
the staff has been wholly occupied with installation work. Subscrip-
tions were entered for seventy-eight periodicals.

DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LABELING.—During the year
the work of cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology has been
carried on as new accessions were acquired. In the division of Mexican
and South American archeology, the remainder of the Zavaleta collec-
tion, as well as the material from Ecuador and the West Indies received
last year, as an exchange, from the Museum of the American Indian,
New York, has been catalogued. The total number of catalogue cards
prepared amounts to 1,646. These cards are distributed over the
divisions as follows: Southwest, Mexican and South American Arche-
ology 1,501; North American Ethnology 4; Malayan Ethnology 118;
China, Japan and India 16; Near East Archeology and Ethnology 3;
and African Ethnology 4. These cards have been entered in the inven-
tory books of the Department, which now number thirty-eight. The
number of annual accessions amounts to twenty, eighteen of which
have been entered. The total number of catalogue cards entered from
the opening of the first volume amounts to 155,194. A new and vigorous

campaign in label writing and printing was inaugurated during the

last months of the year. The progress made so far has been entirely
satisfactory, numerous new labels having been added to the exhibition
cases. The total number of these labels amounts to 4,139, distributed
as follows: North West Coast 96; New Guinea 870; Mexico and South
America 2,316; Philippines 173; China, Tibet and Korea 442; Ainu
and Siberia 239; Japan 3. There were 393 new label cards added to the
label file. The printer supplied the department with 975 catalogue cards.

As very little new material has been added to the organized collec-
tions in the Department of Botany during the year, on account of the
necessities contingent upon moving, only 231 incidental entries have
been made in the department catalogues, bringing the total entries up
to 482,310. The card indices of the department have been augmented

All accessions in the Department of Geology have been fully cata-.
logued as received, the largest number appended being obtained by the
addition of the specimens of the Frederick J. V. Skiff collection. In
packing or installing the older collections specimens occasionally were
found which had been overlooked in previous cataloguing, and the
opportunity was improved to record these also. The total number of
entries made during the year was 452. During the installation of the
cases in the new building, all missing or soiled labels have been replaced
as fast as the cases were installed, by new ones. As considerable care
was taken in packing the labels from the old installation so that loss
or injury should be avoided, the instances where such labels needed
replacement were fortunately few. New labels were also provided
for any specimens added that had not previously been installed, and
the form, wording or size of some of the old labels was changed in
instances where this seemed desirable. The total number of re-installed
cases completely labeled during the year is 70 and the total number of
new labels that have been prepared is 668.

Cataloguing in the Department of Zodlogy during the year was
reduced to that which was absolutely necessary, namely 43 entries in
Mammalogy and 247 in Ornithology. Many exhibition labels have been
prepared, including an entirely new set for the large Habitat groups of
mammals.

Accessions.—The most notable gift of the year in the Department
of Anthropology is the valuable collection of Indian baskets from British
Columbia and California made by Mr. Homer E. Sargent in the course
of fifteen years and presented by him to the Museum. The present
contribution of 342 baskets is merely the first installment; there are
several hundred more to come by next spring. This extensive collection
comprises excellent and partially old specimens from the Hupa, Pomo,
Paiute, Panamint, Maidu, Mono, Chumashan, Diegeno, Chemehuevi,
Navaho, and other tribes. Mr. Edward E. Ayer presented to the
department a kris from the Moro on the Philippines, a Pima basket
from California, several interesting objects from the Tlingit and Eskimo

JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 383

of Alaska, and a Pomo feather headband. Mr. George A. Crofts of
Tientsin, China, remembered the Museum with a gift of two large,
remarkable clay statuettes of the T'ang period (A.D. 618-906), which
have been added to the Blackstone Collection, and are placed on
exhibition in a case of medieval clay figures. The gift of Mr. and Mrs.
Edwin F. Gillette of a set of Japanese dolls for the Dolls’ Festival
(Hina Matsurz) is a distinct addition to the Division of Japanese
Ethnology. The group, illustrated in this Report, consists of a painted
screen and nine dolls representing the emperor and empress of Japan,
the elder and younger ministers of state, and an orchestra of five court-
musicians, exactly as it would appear in a Japanese home on the occasion
of the Dolls’ Festival held each year for the pleasure and instruction of
little girls. Such sets, handed down as family heirlooms, are taken out
of the storehouse annually, carefully unpacked, and displayed for a
week on a series of shelves covered with scarlet cloth. There are gen-
erally arrayed before the dolls miniature pieces of furniture, various
articles for the house reproduced oftentimes in gold lacquer or in porce-
lain, such as tiny tables upon which are placed offerings of food prepared
by the little girls, an act which in itself tends toward promoting a deep
reverence for the emperor and a knowledge of the old court and its
customs. The sixfold screen, which serves as a background, possesses
great merits in color and decoration. Above a streain, near which grow
iris, peonies, and a sturdy pine; a white crane flies downward toward two
others standing on the bank. The golden-flecked clouds and the soft
greens and reds in decoration blend admirably with the brocade cos-
tumes of the dolls immediately in front of the screen. These figures,
made of enameled wood, are modeled with remarkable care, each
expressing a distinct personality. As an illustration of the exactitude
of execution, the hands and wrists of the old minister of state, which
del: ieate real age, are truly of admirable workmanship. The costumes
are all of brocade, probably a hundred years or more in age, which in
itself is of value for the study of textiles and design. The head-dresses,
of which there are three distinct types, besides the elaborate head-dress
of the empress, are removable and exact copies of the style worn at
court by the various characters. here represented. The emperor and
empress sit upon raised platforms, magnificently clothed, each possess-
ing emblems characteristic of their offices. The empress holds a small
folding-fan of wood painted with the favorite decoration of the crane
flying above the pine, bamboo and plum, a combination emblematic of
long life. The emperor, wearing a large sword, holds in his right hand
a flat wooden baton of tablet shape (shaku), generally carried by all
noblemen at the court. The old and young ministers are equipped with

384 Fretp Museum oF NaturaAt History — Reports, Vou. V.

bows, arrows, and swords. Swords are also thrust in the belt of each of
the five court-musicians, two of whom sit upon lacquered stands while
the other three squat upon the ground. The musical instruments, the
flute, the hand-drum, and flat-drum, are faithfully reproduced in
miniature. Under the auspices of Mr. William Wrigley, Jr., the Museum
entered into an agreement with the Museum of the American Indian
of New York City, for the purpose of organizing an extensive archzo-
logical survey of Catalina Island on the Californian coast. The under-
standing was that the material resulting from this exploration should
be equally divided between the two institutions. The field-work was
placed in charge of Mr. George G. Heye, Director of the Museum of
the American Indian, and conducted during last summer. Asa result
of these excavations, the Museum received from Mr. Heye in November
a large quantity of archeological material, consisting chiefly of pestles,
mortars, and other implements of stone, particularly steatite, bone, —
shell, and clay. The collection is thoroughly representative of that
culture-area. In order to make this collection more interesting and to
illustrate some of the adjacent cultures in connection with it, Mr. Heye
added to it as a gift to the Museum a considerable collection from San
Nicholas and San Miguel islands, California, which contains a number |
of fine prehistoric shell and bone ornaments.

The notable additions to the herbaria during the year are: the first
installment of the E. T. and S$. A. Harper mycologic collection, con-
sisting of about 10,000 specimens; the Santa Catalina Island collections
of C. F. Millspaugh (595) and L. W. Nuttall (946 specimens); Pennell’s
North American (55) and U.S. Colombian (33) Scrophulariacee; Mrs.
Wilcoxson’s Massachusetts plants (95 specimens); Howe’s distribution ©
of Marine Alge, principally West Indian and Bahaman (146 speci-
mens); Maxon & Killip’s Jamaican Plants (1,128 specimens); E. T. &
S. A. Harper’s Virginia and Massachusetts fungi of 1920 (210 speci-
mens); and Ames’ Bornean Orchids.

Of especial importance among the accessions of the year in the
Department of Geology the Curator of the department reports that
the collection of ores and minerals presented by Dr. Frederick J. V. Skiff
is of especial interest and value. The Curator states: “This collection
contains not only many specimens unique in beauty and rarity, but
also some which since they came from localities from which it would
be impossible, at the present time, to obtain specimens, may be con-
sidered priceless. Series of special interest and value in the collection
are the following: A number of specimens of free gold, especially from
South American localities and specimens of placer gold from Colorado
and Idaho; other gold ores; platinum from the Urals; some fine speci-

mens of amethyst; excellent specimens of turquois, tiger eye and
thomsonite; some unique crystals of calcite from Joplin, Mo., show-
ing a new crystal habit; silver ores showing free silver from several
localities; and concentrates from various ores. The total number of
specimens in the collection is 277.” Mr. William J. Chalmers presented
for addition to the William J. Chalmers crystal collection a remarkable
pseudomorph of quartz after crystallized spodumene from Greenwood,
Maine. Mr. Chalmers also presented a valuable book of photographs
of the diamond mines at Kimberley, South Africa. This book contains
114 original prints illustrating various phases of the processes of mining
at the Kimberley mines and covering chronologically nearly the entire
history of the mines. The United Verde Company and United Verde
Extension Company of Bisbee, Arizona, and the New Cornelia Copper
Company of Ajo, Arizona, presented full series of the various ores mined
by them and specimens of the associated rocks. These series in connec-
tion with specimens previously presented by the Utah Copper Company,
afford material for fully illustrating the developments which have taken
place in recent years in the utilization of the low-grade copper ores,
usually known as “porphyry coppers.”’ Specimens of both leaching
and flotation ores are included in the series. These series all form
important additions to the collection of copper ores. The kind offices of
Mr. William J. Chalmers in assisting in procuring these gifts are grate-
fully acknowledged. A cast of the Yenberrie, Australia, iron meteorite
was presented by the United States National Museum and a full-sized,
polished section of the meteorite was purchased. Dr. A. de Chairmont
presented nine individual aerolites of the Holbrook, Arizona, fall. By
exchange with the University of Chicago a nearly complete skeleton in
matrix of the rare Permian, lizard-like reptile, Varanosaurus, from
Texas, was obtained, also from the same institution and in a similar
way a prepared male skull and dentition of the extinct ungulate
Diceratherium, from the Miocene of Nebraska.

The principal accession in the Department of Zodlogy during the
year was the collection of 676 specimens, chiefly mammals and birds,
obtained by Assistant Curator Osgood and Mr. H. B. Conover on the
expedition to Venezuela of which mention is made elsewhere. Mr.
Conover also presented to the Museum skulls and scalps of one moose
and two caribou from northwest Canada. An important addition to the
exhibition collection of mammals was a mounted giraffe presented by
Mrs. Mollie Netcher Newbury. A collection of 270 salt and fresh water
fishes from Louisiana was received in exchange from the Southern
Biological Supply Company of New Orleans. The invertebrates re-
ceived during the year consisted of a donation of over 8,800 shells

386 Fierp Museum oF NatTuraLt History — Reports, VoL. V.

and 49 sea-urchins, starfish, etc., mostly collected by the late Mrs.
Fanny Sonshine and presented to the Museum by her daughter, Miss
B. Sonshine. A temporary addition to the Division of Entomology con-
sisted of the twenty-year deposit of the Garry de N. Hough Collection
of flies, received from the University of Chicago. The value of this
material is mainly due to the fact that it is rich in authentically named
species of certain families of European and North American muscid-like
flies. This collection will prove useful for comparison when naming
some of the Museum material. It will also be helpful to students who
are interested in the families represented.

EXPEDITIONS AND FIELD Work.—Llhrough the generous co-operation of
Mr. H. B. Conover it was possible to make one short but important
expedition during the year. Assistant Curator Osgood, accompanied by
Mr. Conover, left late in January for northwestern Venezuela and
returned to the Museum in the latter part of May. They worked in the
tropical lowlands surrounding Lake Maracaibo and in the Sierra de
Perija near the boundary between Venezuela and Colombia. Later
they penetrated the interior south of Lake Maracaibo to the highlands
of the Sierra de Merida, working at various levels up to an elevation of
15,000 feet. The collections and physical data obtained supplement the
results of previous expeditions in an important way and make the
Museum collection of the vertebrates of this general region the most
comprehensive in existence. In prosecuting this work, the members of
the expedition were greatly assisted by officials of the Caribbean Oil
Company, notably Mr. F.R. Bartlett. They were much indebted also
to Sefior Juan E. Paris, a prominent and public-spirited citizen of
Maracaibo. ;

INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT.— | he Depart-
ment of Anthropology was engaged during the first half of the year in
packing material for removal to the new building. The method of
packing adopted proved so efficient that no essential damage was done
to any specimen, whether large or small, during the removal. On moving ~
into the new building in June, the staff put in order and arranged the
offices, work-rooms, store-rooms, and laboratories assigned to the depart-
ment on the third floor. An immense number of crates, boxes, and
packages had been accumulated in Installation Room 34, during moving-
time. These were checked up with the records, sorted, and relegated to
the various sections to which the material belongs. Cabinets for storage
were placed in work-rooms, several storage racks and seven layout
tables were made. Hundreds of exhibition cases were stripped of packing

JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 387

material, numerous crates and boxes were opened, and the material
arranged either for exhibition or study and exchange collections. The
best possible use has been made of the space available on the third
floor. Rooms 65 and 66 are utilized for the storage of East Asiatic
collections. Room 50 contains Japanese material, Room 48 Melanesian
collections, the greater part of which are stored in the Installation Hall,
Room 46 North American archeology, Room 44 Indian blankets and
baskets, Room 42 Hopi material, Room 43 Southwest, Navaho and
Mission Indians material, Room so Mexican and South American
archeology, Room 33 Northwest Coast collections, and Room 34
Malayan material. Exchange material is placed in Rooms 30 and 31.
Room 28 is allotted to study coll: ctions.. Work on actual installation
of exhibition cases was begun on September 2oth. During this brief
period of three months a total of 249 cases was installed or re-installed.
These cover all sections of the department. The Philippine Hall, 55
cases, with the exception of the large group-cases, the Chinese collec-
tions on the East Gallery Hall of the second floor, 64 cases, save several
large wall cases, and the greater portion of the West Gallery Hall, can
now be reported as being completely installed. Hopeful progress has
been made in the Joseph N. Field Hall (Melanesia), the Mexican and
South American Hall, the Southwest Hall, and the hall allotted to
Egyptian and classical archeology. In the Mexican and South Ameri-
can Hall, nine cases have been newly installed; these illustrate Calchaqui
stone work, ethnology of the Upper Amazon, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru,
and Ecuador, and Maya and Mexican archeology. In every instance,
exhibition material was carefully sifted, and the new arrangement is
considerably improved upon the old system. A special hall, located on
the ground floor along the east side of the building, having been assigned
to the department for the exhibition of primitive means of navigation,
82 boats were placed and arranged in the hall during August. Five
exhibition cases, two illustrating boat-models from China, two with
boat-models and other means of transportation from India and Burma,
and one with similar material from New Guinea, were moved in and
placed at a somewhat later date. When completed this hall will prove an
attractive feature in the building. It was decided to discard from
exhibition all table and upright cases which were found to be no longer
serviceable and hardly in harmony with the character of the new halls.
This step necessitated a complete vacating of these cases containing
large storage bases in which a large quantity of material had been
packed for transportation. This material has been temporarily stored
in Room 45 on the third floor. The Departmental Library has been
completely arranged and set in order in twenty-three cabinets in Room

388 Fire~tp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, Vot. V.

39. With the co-operation of the departmental staff, the Museum libra-
rians completed this task within a few weeks. As all books pertaining
to anthropology, also those formerly stacked in the main library, are
now assigned to the departmental collection, it was necessary to prepare
a new set of catalogue cards in conformity with this new arrangement,
and the number of the cabinet in which a book is placed has been added
to each card, so that it is possible to promptly locate a volume. The
Bagobo group has been completed and the figure of the Hopi boomerang-
thrower remodeled.

In the Department of Botany the entire staff of the department
proper was employed during the first five months of the year in finishing
preparation for moving into the halls and rooms set aside for it in the
new building. The specimens in all those exhibition cases not prepared
during the closing months of the previous year were secured in place, or
packed in containers, and properly marked and labeled to designate
the position they were destined to occupy. The entire herbaria and all
other material, supplies, appliances, etc., were, in like manner, prepared
for transportation. The month of May and part of June were employed
in superintending the removal of the packed material from the old
building and the placing of the same in position in the new. In Septem-
ber re-installation began both in the exhibition halls and the working
rooms. Since that date the books of the Department Library have
been temporarily shelved and arranged, the phanerogamic herbarium
fully organized, and most of the laboratories at least partly equipped
for work. On account of alterations deemed expedient in the depart-
mental arrangement as originally planned, it became necessary to
change the installation of a large number of cases previously considered
complete. These re-installations have consumed a large amount of
time and rendered re-installation far slower than was expected, setting
back the anticipated completion of the department at least five months.
Contributory to this extra work has been the elements of the unfinished
character of the halls and the dust raised in the work of their completion.
This has caused more cleaning of specimens and repainting of case
interiors than could have been foreseen. In Hall 28 one hundred and
ten case units have been placed. These are devoted entirely to all
those plant families the elements of which are on hand at this time.
The installation will comprise plant reproductions and -natural speci-
mens embracing the taxonomy of about 100 families. Of these 81
are now installed. Hall 27, Foreign Woods: In this hall the cases
have not yet been shifted to their intended position. They will require
comparatively little interior arrangement when once set, as the
contents are now in place. Hall 26, North American Trees: The

cases in this hall are in position. They will require little interior work
done upon them. Halls 25 and 29, Economic Botany: The cases in
these two halls are substantially all placed and 71 units have been
re-installed complete. The herbarium, in its organization, had been
separated into four great divisions: (1) Flowering Plants, completely
organized; (2) Fungi; (3) Cryptogams in General, ferns, mosses, lichens,
hepatics, etc.; (4) Plants of Illinois. Each of these herbaria occupy
contiguous rooms. As the plants of Illinois are more frequently con-
sulted by amateurs in botany than those of the general herbaria, it
has been considered best to segregate them, thus securing the main
herbaria against disorganization by untrained botanists. During the
first four months of preparation for moving the Section of Plant Re-
production continued its regular work with but little interruption.
The months of May and June were then utilized entirely in the work
of packing, dismembering, moving and re-establishment in the labora-
tories in the new building. In July the work of the section was again
established, though during the last few months of the year it has been
greatly interfered with through the necessity of utilizing a large part
of the effort of the staff in the re-installation of cases in the exhibition
halls. No damage whatsoever was sustained by the large number of
delicate models and reproductions packed, or secured against the
anticipated rough handling of the cases and packages during trans-
portation. Notwithstanding the large amount of time consumed in
these necessary interruptions to the regular work of the staff, the.
section finished the following productions, all of which are now in-
stalled in the exhibit cases.of Hall 28: The Fig (Ficus carica). A
natural size branch of the tree in full leaf and fruit; an enlarged section
of the edible fig revealing the numerous flowers enclosed within the
fleshy, hollow receptacle; an enlarged section of the Caprifig with male
and female flowers; an enlarged female flower in section; an enlarged
male flower with its bracteal envelope; an enlarged gall-flower showing
the female caprifying insect emerging; and full descriptive labels
detailing ‘‘caprification.”’ The Seven-year Apple (Casasia clusitfolia).
A small branch of the shrub with fully matured fruit fallaciously said to
“require seven years to ripen.” The Kaffir Orange (Strychnos spinosus).
A flowering and fruiting portion of this shrub of the Strychnine Family.
While nearly all species of this group are virulently poisonous this
particular one develops an edible, spicy fruit. An enlarged flower of
this plant reveals the essential organs characteristic in the family.
Avocadoes or Alligator Pears (Persea Persea): fruits of four charac-
teristic varieties of this delicious “‘Salad Fruit”’ now becoming noticeable
in our markets through its cultivation in southern Florida. The four

390 Fietp Museum or Natura. History — Reports, VoL. V.

varieties reproduced are: The West Indian; The Guatemalan; The
Mexican; and a hybrid secured by crossing the Guatemalan and the
Mexican. The Coconut (Cocos nucifera): enlarged male and female
flowers together with a section of the female flower revealing its essential
characters. The Spider Lily (Hymenocallis caribaea): a full size flower-
ing plant. Cotton plant (Gossypium barbadense): an entire plant in full
leaf, flower and ripe boll, natural size; an enlarged flower, in section,
revealing the essential organs. Zamia (Zamia floridana): enlarged
sporophylls and a fruiting cone of this species illustrating the floral
characteristics of the cycads. Mangoes (Mangzfera indica): three
varieties of this delicious fruit of the Sumac Family, now being cultivated
for the market in southern Florida: “‘The Mulgoba,”’ ‘“‘The Haden,”
and ‘The Amiri.”” A Green Alga (Oedogonium): eight enlargements
illustrating reproduction in this group; whole mass of the plant, mag-
nified; asexual reproduction, the odgonia; the sperm cells; dwarf
males; resting stage, odspore; germination, zodspores; fertilization. A
Green Alga (Ulothrix): four enlargements illustrating this genus: A
piece of a filament, spore formation; swarm-spores, germination; con-
jugation; zygospores. More or less work has also been done on the
following studies now in process of production: Coconut (Cocos nuci-
fera); reproduction of a natural size tree top in leaf, full flower and
fruit. Zamia (Zamia floridana); a full size plant of this important
starch-producing cycad. Four-’o-Clock (Mirabilis jalapa); a portion of
a natural size plant and a number of various colored flowers, designed
to illustrate Mendelian principles of heredity. Screw Pine (Pandanus
utilis); reproduction of a portion of the plant, natural size. Pride-of-
India (Melia Azedaracha); an enlarged flower revealing the essential
organs, to illustrate characteristics of the Mahogany Family. Alga
(Bryopsis plumosa); an enlarged tip of a frond.

During the first part of the year packing in the Department of
Geology of all material and cases intended for the new building was
completed. This included packing of the contents of forty-two exhibi-
tion cases remaining installed at the close of last year, a large quantity
of material belonging to the study collections, furniture and equipment
of the offices and laboratories of the department and some collections
and objects that for lack of exhibition space had been stored in the
basement. As noted in a previous report, the nature of nearly all the
specimens in the exhibition cases made it necessary to remove them from
these cases in order to put them in a safe condition for transportation.
In some instances after being packed in proper receptacles, the speci-
mens were returned to the cases and the cases used as carriers, but
it was found possible to move only three cases and contents without

JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 391

removal of the specimens. During the period of packing as a whole
two hundred and eighty exhibition cases were emptied of their con-
tents and all fittings made fast so that there would be no danger of
injury to any part in moving. It is gratifying to report that this work
was so carefully and thoroughly done that with the exception of one
case which failed owing to faulty construction, no cases or contents
suffered any breakage of glass or other marked injury during the moving
to the new building and placing in position there.

One of the most difficult specimens to prepare for moving was the
skeleton of the large dinosaur. Because of its great weight and fragile
nature this could not be transported as a whole. It was therefore
necessary to disarticulate the skeleton and handle each bone as a unit.
The leg bones and most of the pelvic bones were crated separately
without additional reinforcement. The foot bones and the smaller
bones of the tail were separated and packed in tight boxes. The ribs
required additional strengthening. Each rib was first wound spirally
-with tough paper to protect its finish. It was then covered with plaster
and burlap, as fossils are treated for shipment from the field. In turn
each rib was further reinforced by means of iron rods, either bent to
conform to the outline or extending across the arc as a chord. The
entire series was then crated. The vertebrae were handled singly.
Before removing from their position on the frame-work the spines and
lateral processes were braced by means of light, iron rods. These braces,
extending from each centrum to the lateral processes and thence to the
crest of the spine of each vertebra, were attached by the use of plaster.
This done, the screws holding each vertebra to the steel frame-work
were removed, leaving the immediate support attached to the specimen.
The vertebrae were then placed separately on light, wooden frame-
works which acted as temporary bases, and were firmly anchored to
them in an upright position by means of wires attached to the four
corners of the base and drawn tightly through the neural canal. The
vertebrae were then placed, two each, in wheeled carriers padded at
the bottom to protect from jar. Each vertebra was firmly attached to
the bottom of the carrier by means of long screws driven through the
temporary base. By the use of all these means the entire skeleton was
well protected and was transported to the new building with compara-
tively little breakage. The steel framework on which the skeleton was
installed was unbolted and moved as lengths of structural steel and
the wooden base above the frame-work was taken apart and carefully
crated for transportation.

The safe transportation of the large fulgurite also presented a some-
what difficult problem. The specimen is an exceedingly irregular hollow

tube about nine feet long and an inch in diameter, with walls of about
the thickness and strength of an egg shell. This had been mounted on
hangers which held it about six inches from the back of its case. In order
to move this specimen with its supporting wooden rod it was placed ina
horizontal position in a special packing case. It was then well wrapped
with paraffined tissue paper and a thin fin of tow and plaster was built up
from an anchorage on the packing case floor to the specimen, supporting
it throughout its entire length. At intervals of perhaps a foot, a narrow
ring of tow and plaster was also passed around the specimen to connect
it securely to the fin. The paraffined tissue not only prevented staining
by the plaster but also checked any adhesion of the plaster or dovetailing
to any rough portions of the specimen. Protected in this manner the
specimen was safely transported to the new building and after unpacking
was readily mounted and installed.

Besides the exhibition cases, the departmental material iranispanied
to the new building was contained in 226 barrels, 1,086 large boxes and
crates and several thousand small boxes and cartons. Packing, trans-
portation and unpacking of this material was accomplished with prac-
tically no loss whatever from breakage or other injury, a fact which gives
proof of the care with which the packing and handling was done. The
large skeleton of the Northern Mammoth presented to the Museum some
years ago by Mr. George Manierre and temporarily housed at the Chi-
cago Academy of Sciences through the courtesy of that institution, was
also transferred to the new building.

In order to facilitate placing of the exhibition cases in the new
building, installation numbers were given to each hall of the portion of
the building assigned to the department and to each alcove in each
hall. The cases designated for these alcoves were then correspondingly
marked, so that on arrival at the new building each case was taken
directly to its assigned alcove. Before installation all the glass of all the
cases was cleaned, the wood-work of the exteriors was refinished and
that of the interiors repainted. Any injuries to the exterior wood-work
of the cases that were too deep to be rubbed out, were carefully chiseled
out and new wood inserted and the whole refinished in such a manner as
to restore the cases to their original appearance. The cases forming the
sides of the alcoves were carefully fitted to one another in such a manner
as to make the line of joining as narrow and inconspicuous as possible
and they were then securely fastened together. A greater rigidity and
stability of the cases was thus gained, and a pleasing appearance of the
cases as seen from the aisle was produced. The number of cases so joined
was 126. Twenty of the flat cases having shown in moving that the
method of attachment of the legs was not as secure as was desirable,

JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 393

these were thoroughly overhauled and stout fastenings provided. Also,
from fourteen of the cases in Frederick J. V. Skiff Hall the burlap linings
which had become torn and discolored from long usage, were removed
and new, freshly dressed linings substituted. Blocks numbering 2,600
used for mounting individual specimens and various other mounts used
in this hall were also repainted and the shelves of many of the cases
were braced with strong wooden supports so as to guard against possible
breakage of the shelves from the weight of specimens. A large number
of other supports or fixtures, such as easels, frames, pedestals, etc., used
in this and other halls of the department were also repainted.

The space assigned for the exhibition cases of the department in
the new building consists of five halls on the second floor of the western
section of the building. Four of these halls, 180 ft. by 42 ft., in dimen-
sion, have their greatest length in an east and west direction and one,
317 ft. by 48 ft., has a principal north and south range. Of the four halls
extending east and west, that on the north side of the building con-
- tains the systematic collection of minerals, the meteorite collection and
part of a collection illustrating physical geology. The systematic
mineral collection occupies the eastern half of the hall. It is installed
in 32 cases, 16 of which are of a sloping-top type and 16 of a tall, upright
type. The cases are arranged on either side of the hall soas to form
alcoves, each alcove except the first being bounded by a tall case on each
side and containing a sloping-top case in the center. Each alcove is
twelve feet deep and including the side cases, fourteen feet wide. Each
is lighted by a pair of windows at one end. The sides of the alcoves are
made by the tall cases being placed at right angles to the length of the
hall, one end of each resting against a pilaster of the wall between the
windows. A broad, middle aisle sixteen feet in width permits free passage
through the center of the hall. The mineral collection is arranged in
these cases according to the order of Dana’s system, a number on the
label of each specimen showing the position of the specimen in the sys-
tem. For the most part, the large specimens are shown in the tall cases
at the sides of the alcoves and the smaller specimens in the lower, central
cases. The re-installation of this collection was completed during the
year, the specimens being for the most part installed in the positions
and cases which they had occupied in the old building, but some altera-
tions necessitated by changes of orientation of the cases were made. The
total number of specimens now on display in this collection is 4,476.
In the re-installation of all the collections of the department, the system
of marking described in a previous report, by which the position of each
specimen in installation was indicated by a label wrapped with the
specimen, proved of great assistance in securing rapid and accurate

394 Fretp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, VOL. V.

placing of the specimens. Following this collection, two cases of a
combined upright and flat form are devoted to the William J. Chalmers
crystal collection and two similar cases contain collections illustrating
varieties of amber and ornamental objects carved from semi-precious
stones. Following these, six large oblong cases, three square cases and
two narrow, upright cases contain the meteorite collection. In the square
cases are placed large, single specimens of the Davis Mts., Long Island
and Brenham falls, respectively, while the remaining meteorites which
are exhibited are to be disposed on pyramids or shelves in the other

cases. The remainder of the hall is devoted to four upright cases

arranged in alcove form containing collections of concretions and
septaria, and specimens illustrating glacial phenomena, weathering, etc.
Two large, glaciated slabs from Kelley Island and Amherst, Ohio, are
to be installed on individual bases in opposite alcoves in connection with
this series. In the next hall south there have been placed at the east end
eight upright cases. These are to contain the collections illustrating
various rock structures, such as dikes, veins, cave formations, rock
markings, etc. These cases are arranged in alcove form disposed in a
manner similar to that already described for the cases containing the
systematic mineral collection. A case devoted to large gypsum crystals
and one containing a fulgurite nine feet in length are also placed in this
hall. Following these, eight sloping-top cases are devoted to the collec-
tion of systematic petrology. Each specimen in these cases is mounted
on an individual block screwed to a pyramidal screen. The installation
of this collection is complete, 872 specimens being now on display. The
remainder of this hall extending eastward is to be devoted to the exhibi-
tion of the map collection, consisting of about seventy-five relief and
other maps, also globes and other geographic material. ~The maps are
to be exhibited on tables which are to be arranged in positions similar
to those of the cases which form the alcoves in other halls of the depart-
ment. The maps have been unpacked and partially placed, but have
not yet been finally installed. The following hall south contains collec-
tions of an economic character, chiefly of coal, petroleum and other
hydrocarbons, and sands, clays and soils. Of these collections, those of
the first group will occupy the eastern half of the hall, those of the
second group, the western half. The eastern half is installed according
to the alcove plan, similar to that adopted in the department as a
whole, eighteen upright cases forming nine alcoves. In these alcoves
and adjacent to them ten table and other low cases are placed, and
in one double-spaced alcove a large case containing an exhibit of coal-
tar products. A model of the original Rockefeller oil refinery which,

from lack of space has not been shown for some years, will be placed in
another alcove. In the sixteen-foot center aisle two table cases four by
six feet in size are placed. These contain the diamond and part of the
asphalt exhibits. Against the south wall of the hall and adjacent to the
passage southward, a large section of an Australian coal seam will be
placed. In the western half of the hall the installation is composed
chiefly of table cases. As these do not readily lend themselves to a true
alcove arrangement, distribution of the cases in a manner consistent
with the alcove plan of the rest of the hall has been adopted. The cases
are placed in pairs, each pair extending from the windows toward the
center of the hall. There is left a twelve-foot center aisle and a narrower
passage between the cases of each pair. The arrangement is broken in
one place to give space for a diagrammatic collection of clays which
requires a linear arrangement of four cases. Beyond this installation of
twenty-two table cases at the extreme west of the hall, two square
cases containing large specimens have been placed, and bordering the
west wall an upright case and a large model of an iron mine. The
specimens in the hall as a whole transferred from installation in the
old building are to be re-installed in the same cases and with the
same arrangement as before. There will also be added, however,
many specimens which had been withdrawn from exhibition for several
years on account of lack of room. The entire coal collection is one
group of such material and substantial additions will also be made to
the exhibited collections of clays, sands and soils. The most southerly
of the halls of the department has been named Frederick J. V. Skiff
Hall. The hall contains the principal economic collections of the
department. It includes the ores of the precious and base metals,
building stones and marbles and a part of the collection of non-metallic
minerals of economic importance. The cases in the hall are arranged
according to the alcove plan, broken for a space midway of the hall
by the substitution of tall, square cases for the long, upright cases
which outline the regular alcoves. These square cases are so disposed,
however, that the general alcove effect is retained. A center aisle
fourteen and a half feet wide has been left unobstructed through the
entire length of the hall. The predominant type of cases used in the
installation of the hall is that of those which form the sides of the
alcoves. These are materially different in form from those employed
in any other hall. They are designed to keep the specimens as near the
eye of the spectator as possible even at sacrifice of capacity. They are
seven feet high, and at a height of two feet from the floor the exhibition
space is extended forward in a horizontal bay which not only keeps the

396 Firetp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, VoL. V.

specimens nearer the eye, but also affords room for larger specimens and
those that should be examined from above. The length of the cases is
twelve feet, except for six which measure fourteen feet. Each alcove
is outlined by two of these cases, one being placed on each side of a
window. The cases stand with one end against the wall and extend
toward the aisle in the center of the hall. Including the side cases,
each alcove is fourteen feet wide, the open space in the center being
four feet narrower. On the south side of the hall, the alcoves are twelve
feet deep. On the north side they are fourteen feet deep. In the center
of each alcove one or two table cases, four by six feet, are placed. Mid-
way of the hall, opposite the passage connecting with the next hall to
the north, the character of the alcoves is varied, the principal change
being the replacement of some of the long cases by two tall cases, four
feet square. These cases are glazed on all sides, except the base, and
contain massive specimens and materials of special character. There
are twenty-six alcoves in the hall as a whole and they contain forty-two
twelve-foot and forty-four other cases. The ores of the heavy metals
and the building stone collections are for the most part re-installed in
their original cases and in their original positions in the cases. The
exigencies of re-installation have compelled some changes, but they are
relatively few. The addition of two cases against the east wall has made
possible the re-display of a case and a half of ores which had been
withdrawn from exhibition for a number of years on account of lack of
space. Except for the building stones and alkalies, that part of the
non-metallic economic collections which appears in upright cases in this
hall has been transferred to cases of a different type from those formerly
used. This has made some re-arrangement necessary, owing to the differ-
ent capacities of the two types of cases, and withdrawal of some of the
material has been unavoidable, but for the most part the original
arrangement of the specimens has been retained. It was necessary to
spend much time and labor in cleaning the specimens of ores. The
method employed has been first to remove the dust by use of a vacuum
cleaner, then to wash and dry the specimens. As water alone or soap
and water was found not to attack a sooty coating which had sometimes
formed through exposure to a smoky atmosphere, and as the more corro-
sive detergents could not be used, some care in selecting a suitable cleans-
ing agent was found imperative. Satisfactory results were, however,
secured by use of cold water containing a moderate quantity of carbonate
of ammonia. As the collections in this hall are now arranged, there are
shown at the east end and extending from the east entrance about half
way down the hall, the ores of the precious and base metals. These are
arranged in the order of the installation employed in the old building;

JAN., 1921. |= ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 397

first, synoptic collections of gold, silver and lead minerals and ores and
secondly, collections of these ores geographically arranged. Platinum
ores occupy one table case at the head of the series. The gold, silver and
lead collections are followed by ores of the other metals with the speci-
mens geographically arranged under each metal. Interspersed with
these ores at convenient points are placed models illustrating methods
of mining and of extracting the metals from the ores. The metallurgy
of some of the more important metals is also illustrated by specimens.
Following the ore collections are placed those of the building stones and
marbles. These are shown in the form of polished slabs in upright cases
and of four-inch cubes in table cases. To them are added specimens of
materials adapted to ornamental uses cut in forms intended to display
their fitness for such uses. The western end of the hall is filled with a
' variety of minerals of economic interest, including mica, asbestos, and
abrasive materials, and at the extreme end the alkali collections are
placed. The western hall, which is the largest of the exhibition halls of
the department, is devoted to the paleontological collections. This
hall, as already stated, is 48 feet in width and 317 feet in length. Its
size and proportions have enabled a unique installation of the paleonto-
logical collections to be made, the most important feature being that it
has been possible to place all the collections in the hall in chronological
order. Thus an epitome of the history of life upon the earth, beginning
With the remains of living forms of the earliest period and passing in
order to the life of Recent time is presented to the observer. The
characteristic fossils or life forms of any particular period can be seen in
whatever portion of the hall corresponds in position to the place of the
period in time, or the course and development of life as a whole can be
studied. The earlier forms have been placed at the south end of the hall,
and from this point the progression in time advances to the north end.
Introductory to the series, two cases contain, one a collection illustrating
methods of fossilization and the other a collection showing contrasting
forms of ancient and modern plants and animals. As in the other
halls of the department, the cases in this hall are arranged to form
alcoves, the sides of the alcoves being made by upright cases twelve
feet in length by eight feet in height and usually two feet in depth. Two
of these placed back-to-back with ends resting against the pilasters
which separate the windows of the hall form the alcoves. Within these
alcoves for the most part, single sloping-top cases designed for specimens
which require close inspection are placed. ‘These cases occupy a floor
space of four by five feet each, leaving an aisle three feet wide between
them and the sides of the alcoves and four feet wide between them and
the windows. Occasionally the alcove space is doubled or trebled in

order to permit the placing of large objects. The upright cases as a rule
contain large specimens, slab mounts and single skeletons. Altogether
twenty-two alcoves of this form have been placed in the hall. A central
aisle, twenty-two feet in width, passes through the hall between the
alcoves, and this is utilized to some extent for the exhibition of large
mounts, such as those of the two dinosaurs Apatosarus and Triceratops,
the cast of the Megatherium skeleton and some single cases. The in-
stallation of all cases in the hall, numbering sixty-six, has been essen-
tially completed. In general, the specimens were placed in the cases in
the same order and positions which they had occupied before removal,
but wherever some improvement in sequence or appearance could be
made this was carried out. The precaution which had been adopted to
secure the safe transportation of some of the more fragile material, such,
especially, as wrapping dinosaur and other bones with paper and cover-
ing them with burlap and plaster, proved on unpacking to have been
very successful, practically no breakage having occurred and the
appearance of the specimens not having been injured. This was espe-
cially gratifying in the case.of the large Triceratops skull, the thin,
expanded bones of which were exceedingly fragile. The specimens yet
to be installed in this hall are chiefly large and massive ones, such as the
great dinosaur, Apatosaurus, the skeletons of the mastodon and mam-
moth and some large casts. The iron frame-work for the dinosaur has
been assembled but the erection of the specimen upon it has not yet
been accomplished. The energies of the staff were devoted so largely
to installation, that little opportunity was available for work upon the
study collections or in the laboratories. The study collection of syste-
matic minerals has, however, been placed in trays, labeled and arranged
in order in drawers contiguous to the exhibit series. Work in the
laboratories has largely been confined to repairs upon specimens, but
in the early part of the year opportunity was found to remove from
matrix and prepare for exhibition two large ribs, nine feet in length,
of the type specimen of Brachiosaurus. This material, as it came from
the field, is in so fragmentary a condition, that the task of preparing it
is a difficult and tedious one, but the unique character of the material
makes its preservation highly important.

In the Department of Zodlogy, the year was devoted snide exX-
clusively to the work in connection with the removal to the new building.
Packing continued until April and was followed by the period of actual
moving during which members of the staff, office, and taxidermists’
force were assigned to specific tasks in checking the pieces out of the old
building and into the new and in giving special care to such material
as required it. The entire collections of the department were moved

without serious damage. The smaller exhibition cases were transported
intact with specimens of light weight zm situ securely fastened to the
shelves or to the floor. Even the extensive osteological exhibits traveled
largely in this way, although small skeletons and crania were specially
packed in cartons and very large ones were crated. Heavy material, as
corals and other fragile invertebrates, was removed from the cases and
packed in boxes, cartons, and barrels. Exhibition cases of medium size
(more than 4 feet in width) were transported after removal of all or
part of the glass and with the specimens covered with a temporary
protecting cloth. In this way certain habitat groups, as the hyaenas
and warthogs, were handled simply and successfully. Very large cases,
including many of the habitat groups, as moose, mountain sheep, koodoo,
zebra, etc., required the complete dismantling of the case and the dis-
memberment of the group, the animals being placed individually on
special temporary bases and the ground work and accessories being
divided and crated. The African elephants, after removing the head of
the one mounted with its trunk elevated, were placed on an open flat-
car and came through without mishap. The study collections of mam-
mals and birds packed in original containers offered no difficulty.
Fishes and reptiles in glass jars, which were wrapped in corrugated
cardboard and packed tightly in cartons, suffered no breakage what-
ever. Even pinned insects, which were subjected to much vibration, show
no injury sofar as examined. Since removal to the new building steady
progress has been made in the re-installation of the exhibition material.
The first hall to be finished was the west colonnade (George M. Pullman
Hall) which has been devoted to ungulate mammals, the deer, antelope,
sheep, goats, and wild oxen. These are mostly game animals of con-
siderable popular interest and have been arranged to form a unit with
allowance for slight expansion in the future. The hall of systematic
mammals followed and then that of systematic birds and the habitat
groups of birds. A number of groups of African mammals also were
completely installed before the end of the year. Over two months were
devoted to the re-installation of the shell exhibit. Besides re-installing
the shells which were on exhibition in the old building, good progress
has also been made on the installation of the four new A-cases that had
not been in use heretofore. In order that there should be uniformity in
color of all the shell tablets and labels, it was decided to blacken the
edges of the yellow shell tablets and to reprint all of the buff-colored
labels in the six so-called table cases. Some progress has also been made
in the installation of the sponge and coral exhibit. There have now been ~
re-installed and completed twelve A-cases of shells and two standard
cases of sponges and corals. Several other cases also are far advanced

toward completion. All of the skeletons have been unpacked and four
cases have been installed and two are under way. The large skeletons
are being installed on bases in the exhibition halls.

THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.
—At the end of the present year there were 677 cases available for
circulation among the public schools of Chicago. Of this number, thirty-
one were prepared during the year. This isa falling off from the previous
annual production of cases for circulation. This decrease in cases pre-
pared is attributed to causes which the department could not avert.
The principal causes were the resignation of an assistant taxidermist,
and the transfer of a preparator to another department. Another cause
was the abandonment for several weeks of practically all productive
work for preparations necessary for the removal from the old building
to the new one, and the installation there of fixtures for office and
work-rooms. The removal of the department to the new building was
accomplished largely by the use of the delivery truck, and without the
loss of a day in the delivery of cases to schools. Rather than increase
the production of cases by sacrificing past standards, the usual care
with the details of each was employed. When arranging the schedule
for the loaning of cases to schools during the scholastic year of 1920-1921,
the latest issue (1919-1920) of the Directory of the Public Schools of
the City of Chicago was used. In this directory the names and
addresses of 23 high, and 255 main elementary schools were given.
In compliance with a formal request made last year that cases be also
loaned to high schools, seventeen were included in the present operating ©
loan schedule. For the reason that six of the listed high schools have
technical courses, cases are not loaned to them. Cases are loaned to
253 main elementary schools. Because of the great distances to two of —
the main elementary schools, and of road conditions met with by the ©
motor truck in delivering cases to them, they have been, it is hoped,
only temporarily deprived of the uses of the loan cases. In addition to
making loans to the 253 main elementary schools, cases are also
loaned to 18 branches of elementary schools. Besides the 2838 ©
schools, made up of 17 high, 253 main elementary and 18 branch
elementary schools, which are scheduled to receive cases, there are other
schools to which cases are loaned when requested to do so. These are
the practice, continuation and parental schools. Based on information |
received from the office of the Superintendent of Schools as to the num-
ber of pupils attending public schools, it is confidently believed that
cases will be loaned during the present scholastic year to schools having —
a combined enrollment of fully 344,000 pupils. This estimate is com- —

JAN., 1921. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 401

posed of 316,000 pupils of elementary and of 28,000 of high schools.
In response to a formal request made by the Boys’ Work Secretary of
the Young Men’s Christian Association for the loan of cases to that
association’s summer school, at 1621 Division Street, several cases were
sent. That these cases proved to be of educational value and interest
is evident, for, from the same source there came a subsequent request
for cases, but in this instance it was asked that cases be loaned period-
ically throughout the year. This request is being complied with, and
in doing so care has been and will be taken to prevent any interference
with service to the public schools. The Supervisor of the Children’s

-Department of the Chicago Public Library requested the loan of six
cases of birds for the purpose of exhibiting them for a short time at the
Public Library, to stimulate interest in books on birds. The cases were
loaned, and it was reported that they rendered the service for which they
were solicited. This year, as has been done during the past two years,
twenty-four cases were on exhibition in the Art Gallery of the Municipal
Pier during the months of July and August.

Mrs. Charles L. Hutchinson, President, Chicago Chapter, Wild
Flower Preservation Society of America, asked that four cases be dis-
played at the annual exhibition held under the auspices of that society,
at the Art Institute from the 6th to the 22nd of January 1920. This
request was granted, as was a subsequent one for six cases for the same
purpose, and at the same place from December 18th 1920 to January
18th 1921. In connection with a request for the temporary use of
several cases for the purpose of rendering service in establishing a
system of loaning cases to schools in St. Paul, Minnesota, the curator
of the museum of Saint Paul Institute in that city wrote:—‘‘ While
visiting the Field Museum some time ago, I was greatly impressed with
the educational value of your school cases. The fact that they can be
circulated through the various schools from time to time gives them
added value.” It is regretted that this request could not, at that time,
be granted. The President of the San Diego Society of Natural History
stated in a communication that a considerable donation had been made
to that society for the purpose of popularizing natural history, especially
in the schools of San Diego and, having seen this department’s exhibit
at the Panama-Pacific Exposition, he would like to have such data as
would assist in establishing a similar system. It has since been learned
that the museum of this society will build a number of small cases for
containing birds, minerals, plants, etc., to loan to schools, as part of
its educational work. Having in view the prospect of the U. 5. Depart-
ment of Agriculture aiding rural communities on subjects pertaining to
agriculture, Professor Frank Lamson-Scribner, Special Agent and

402 Fretp Museum or NaturaL History — Reports, VOL. V.

Agrostologist of that department, and two of his departmental asso-
ciates, conducted a careful examination of a great many loan cases,
and made many inquiries as to methods employed in loaning and in
recording them.

After having made a most careful inspection of many cases of
natural history subjects, Doctor Paul Bartsch, Curator, Division of
Marine Invertebrates, U.S. National Museum, stated in a communica-
tion to this department: ‘‘Il wish there might be some way to actually
determine the amount of good enterprises of this kind bring about. To
me it seems the very foundation of things. I am sure that the citizens
of Chicago will show much greater interest in outdoor studies, and a
much closer touch with nature, than other citizens where such work is
not undertaken. These youngsters do grow up so quickly, and it will
only be a little while until the children that have had the benefit of your
efforts will become parents who will rejoice with the little ones for the
opportunity you give them .. .”

PHOTOGRAPHY AND ILLustRATION.—A large part of the year was spent
by this section in packing negatives, lantern slides and photographic
apparatus for transportation to the new building and in unpacking and
arranging negatives and lantern slides after the removal so as to be
readily accessible when required. The following is a tabulation of the

work performed in this section:
