REPORT

UPON

THE CONDITION AND PROGRESS OF THE U. S. NATIONAL
MUSEUM DURING THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1906.

By RicHARD RaTHBUN,

Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in charge of the U. 8S. National Museum.

In the death of Samuel Pierpont Langley, Secretary of the Smith-
sonian’ Institution, on February 27, 1906, the National Museum, of
which he was the keeper by virtue of his higher office, has suffered a
severe loss.

Although Mr. Langley’s scientific work lay in the direction of
astronomy and physics, his wide range of learning and breadth of
view led him to take a deep personal interest in all the varied activi-
ties of the Museum, with some of which, moreover, he was especially
identified. It was largely through his efforts that the collections
relating to the history of time-keeping devices and to standards of
weights and measures were brought together, and the art subjects
strongly appealed to his esthetic sense.

The extensive collections exhibited in the public halls were in his
view not only valuable to the student but capable of imparting infor-
mation to the man of ordinary education, and in behalf of the people
at large he sought the elimination from the labels of such technical
matter as was beyond their comprehension. He was also especially
solicitous as to the needs of the child, as 1s strikingly illustrated in the
so-called children’s room, due to his initiative and direction.

As was to be expected, the manifold duties resting upon the Secre-
tary precluded his taking up the details of management of the Museum,
but he was ever active in guarding its interests before Congress and
the public. j

The work of this great man will be recorded in another place and at
another time. In this connection I only wish to express my sense of
personal loss and my deep appreciation of the confidence he bestowed
in committing to me the administration of the National Museum.

2 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS.

The inception and history of the Museum have often been dis-
cussed in the opening pages of the annual report. Congress, in
the act of August 10, 1846, founding the Smithsonian Institution,
recognized that an opportunity was afforded, in carrying out the
large-minded design of Smithson, to provide for the custody of the
museum of the nation. To this new establishment was therefore
intrusted the care of the national collections, a course that time has
fully justified.

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

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

The Congress which passed the act of foundation enumerated as
within the scope of the Museum ‘‘all objects of art and of foreign
and curious research and all objects of natural history, plants, and
geological and mineralogical specimens belonging to the United
States,” thus stamping the Museum at the very outset as one of the
widest range and at the same time as the Museum of the United
States. It was also fully appreciated that additions would be neces-
sary to the collections then in existence, and provision was made for
their increase by the exchange of duplicate specimens, by donations
and by other means.

If the wisdom of Congress in so fully providing for a museum in
the Smithsonian law challenges attention, the interpretation put upon
this law by the Board of Regents within less than six months from the
passage of the act can not but command admiration. In the early part
of September, 1846, the Regents took steps toward formulating a plan
of operations. The report of the committee appointed for this pur-

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 3

pose, submitted in December and January following, shows a thorough
consideration of the subject in both the spirit and the letter of the law.
It would seem not out of place to cite here the very first pronounce-
ment of the Board with reference to the character of the Museum:

**In obedience to the requirements of the charter,“ which leaves
little discretion in regard to the extent of accommodations to be pro-
vided, your committee recommend that there be included in the build-
ing a museum of liberal size, fitted up to receive the collections destined
for the Institution. *. * *

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

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

‘**Specimens of staple materials, of their gradual manufacture, and
of the finished products of manufactures and the arts may also, your
committee think, be usefully introduced. This would supply oppor-
tunity to examine samples of the best manufactured articles our
country affords, and to judge her gradual progress in arts and manu-
maewures.>| *.*

“The gallery of art, your committee think, should include both
paintings and sculpture, as well as engravings and architectural
designs; and it is desirable to have-in connexion with it one or more
studios in which young artists might copy without interruption, being
admitted under such regulations as the board may prescribe. Your
committee also think that, as the collection of paintings and sculpture
will probably accumulate slowly, the room destined fora gallery of art
might properly and usefully meanwhile be occupied during the ses-
sions of Congress as an exhibition room for the works of artists gen-
erally; and the extent and general usefulness of such an exhibition

«Since the Institution was not chartered in a legal sense but established by Con-
gress, the use of the word ‘“‘charter’’ in this connection would seem to be unauthor-
ized. It was not subsequently employed.

4 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

might probably be increased if an arrangement could be effected with
the Academy of Design, the Arts-Union, the Artists’ Fund Society,
and other associations of similar character, so as to concentrate at the
metropolis for a certain portion of each winter the best results of
talent in the fine arts.”

The important points in this report are, (1) that it was the opinion
of the Regents that a museum was requisite under the law, Congress
having left no discretion in the matter; (2) that ethnology and anthro-
pology, though not specially named, were yet as important subjects as
natural history; (8) that the history of the progress of useful inven-
tions and the collection of the raw materials and products of the
manufactures and arts should also be provided for; (4) for the gallery
of art the committee had models in existence, and they proposed, pend-
ing the gathering of art collections, which would of necessity be slow,
to provide for loan exhibitions by cooperating with art academies and
societies.

In the resolutions which where adopted upon the presentation of
this report, a museum was mentioned as ‘‘one of the principal modes
of executing the act and trust.” The work was to go forward as the
funds permitted, and, as is well known, the maintenance of the
museum and the library was long ago assumed by Congress, the Insti-
tution taking upon itself only so much of the necessary responsibility
for the administration of these and subsequent additions to its activi-
ties as would weld them into a compact, scientific whole, which
together forms a unique and notable agency for the increase and
diffusion of knowledge, for the direction of research, for cooperation
with Departments of the Government and with universities and scien-
tific societies in America, and likewise affords a definite correspond-
ent to all scientific institutions and men abroad who seek interchange
of views or knowledge with men of science in the United States.

Since that early day no material change has been suggested in the
general scope of the Government museum; it has only remained to
elaborate the details, and the opportunity is now close at hand to
realize all that the first Board had in view, since ample space will be
available in about another two years.

The development of the Museum has naturally been greatest in those
subjects which the conditions of the past sixty years have made most

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

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 5

fruitful—the natural history, geology, ethnology, and archeology of
the United States, supplemented by many collections from other
countries. The opportunities in these directions have been mainly
brought about through the activities of the scientific and industrial
surveys of the Government, many of which are the direct outgrowths
of earlier explorations, stimulated or directed by the Institution.
The Centennial Exhibition of 1876 afforded the first opportunity for
establishing a department of the industrial arts on a creditable basis,
and of this the fullest advantage was taken, though only a part of the
collections then obtained could be accommodated in the space available.

The department or gallery of the fine arts has progressed less rapidly
than the other branches, as anticipated at the outset, but not through
any lack of desire or appreciation. In fact, it is interesting to note
that the first collection acquired by action of the Regents was a large
series of choice engravings, purchased in 1849 at a cost of about $4,000,
but now valued at more than ten times that sum. The recent gift by
Mr. Charles L. Freer of his important art collection is certain to inspire -
renewed activity in this direction, as is also the decree of the supreme
court of the District of Columbia, announced in the closing days of
the year, to the effect that the Smithsonian gallery is in law and in
fact the National Gallery of Art, which insures the possession of the
Harriet Lane Johnston collection of paintings and other art objects.

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

It has been deemed appropriate at this time to present the foregoing
brief review of the scope of the national collections, since the time is
approaching when they may be given an orderly arrangement and
when the subjects least developed from lack of space may have the
opportunity for growth. By transferring to the new building, as
proposed to Congress, the subjects which are best represented, which
have been as a whole most completely classified and can, therefore, be
most advantageously exhibited for the benefit of the public, namely,
ethnology, archeology, natural history, and geology, the present
museum building may be given over to the industrial arts. In cer-
tain branches of this subject the collections are already important and
extensive, and arrangements are already under way for large and
valuable additions. Several halls in the Smithsonian building were
originally planned for the gallery of art, and with a moderate expendi-
ture they can be adjusted to suit the requirements of to-day.

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

6 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

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

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

THE NEW BUILDING FOR THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

The beginning of the year found only the foundations of the new
building in place, and it was not until the latter part of the summer
that enough stone had been received to commence the erection of the
walls. The first stone to be set, one of the large pieces of the base
course next adjoining the northern projection on the east, was laid on
August 21, 1905, from which time the construction of the basement

yalls was continued until their completion, except at the entrances on
both the north and south sides. The several rows of massive brick
piers required to support the exceptionally broad and heavy floors of
the main story, as wellas the laying of the steel framework and brick
arches of these floors, were also finished, and work was begun in June
on the court walls of the main story.

The plans of the building as approved in January, 1904, are being
followed, except as to the south central feature, the central projection
on the north side, and certain matters of detail, in regard to which it
was understood in the beginning that further studies would be neces-
sary to produce the best results. All of the alterations suggested by
the architects, however, have been in the direction of securing greater
simplicity and more perfect harmony in the several parts of the build-
ing. These changes, approved in April last, insure the acquisition
by the Government of a structure of exceptional dignity and merit,
which will rank among the finest museum buildings of the world.
Not least among its qualities is the massive character of the walls,
which already count many pieces of granite weighing from 10 to 19
tons apiece, a sufficient guaranty of its stability and permanence.

The failure of one of the quarries to furnish stone within the time
agreed upon has been the cause of some delay and has retarded the
completion of the building until about two years hence, making the
total period required for its erection about four years. Before the
close of the year, however, practically all of the important additional
contracts had been let, and it is expected that greater activity will
prevail hereafter.

SOME IMPORTANT MATTERS OF THE YEAR.

A satisfactory conclusion has fortunately been reached regarding
the worn-out roofs on the present Museum building, which, it has been
found, can be entirely replaced without removing the collections below.
Steps have been taken in this direction, and since the walls were very
substantially constructed, there is no reason why the building may not
soon be placed in even a better condition than it was originally.

With the rapid increase in the national collections, which has lately
averaged nearly a quarter of a million specimens annually, the Museum,

8 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

as well as the Smithsonian building, has been turned into a veritable
storehouse of valuable material. Year by year the exhibition cases
have been brought closer and closer together, and great spaces have
been shut off from the public view to permit of the shelter of thou-
sands of new accessions, whose importance can only be revealed upon
the completion of the new building. In this manner the freedom of
circulation through the building has been much curtailed, and its con-
tents have become so crowded that it has been deemed a matter of
prudence to close, as far as possible, the great openings of the inner
walls, in order to isolate the different sections and prevent the spread
of fire, should one occur. This work has already been started, but
some time will be required for its completion.

As an additional fire precaution experiments are in progress look-
ing to the fitting up of the storerooms and laboratories with metal
cases, having especially in view the requirements of the new building,
and the importance of providing absolute protection for the reserve
collections.

The collections of the Museum were increased during the year to
the extent of about 257,000 specimens. In ethnology large accessions
were received from Arizona and New Mexico, the Philippine Islands
and Malaysia, and smaller but important ones from the Egyptian
Sudan, Austria, and Colombia. The additions in archeology, less
extensive but of great interest, came mainly from Japan, France,
Switzerland, Algeria, Colombia, Mexico, and Florida. The zollections
in physical anthropology were mainly enriched by material from
Malaysia and from ancient Indian ruins and mounds in the western
and southwestern part of the United States.

The exhibition of small arms, in the division of technology, has been
made the finest in the country by the courtesy of the United States Car-
tridge Company, of Lowell, Massachusetts, in depositing its valuable
collection of 569 pieces, many of great rarity. All of the important
typical features in the development of devices for throwing projectiles,
from the crossbow to the latest form of gun and pistol, are repre-
sented, requiring 38 large cases for their installation. To the collec-
tion in aerodromics have been added original examples of the Lilien-
thal and Hargrave aeroplanes. The manufacture of cut glass in all
its stages and the recent advances in the potter’s art in America are
illustrated by two beautiful series of examples.

Through the British Indian government the division of historic
religions acquired a valuable Tibetan manuscript on Buddhistic the-
ology, and several important Jewish ceremonial objects were added to
the Benguiat loan collection.

The historical exhibits were enriched by many objects of interest
and intrinsic value, including rich costumes and personal ornaments
dating from the beginning of the last century and relics of Capt.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. io

James Lawrence, U. 8. Navy, Gen. Santa Anna, of Mexico, and Gen.
José Antonio Paez, the Venezuelan patriot.

Among the objects of art received were a full-length portrait of
General Paez, painted by John J. Peoli and donated by the children
of the latter, and the beautiful marble bust of Maj. Walter Reed,
U. 8. Army, executed by Mr. Hans Schuler and deposited by the
Walter Reed Memorial Association.

The accessions in the several branches of biology amounted to about
227,000 specimens. The most important was the donation by Mr.
William Schaus of his valuable collection of American Lepidoptera,
numbering 75,000 specimens. The Bureau of Fisheries transferred
an exceptionally large quantity of fishes and marine invertebrates,
including the types of several hundred new species obtained during
explorations at the Hawaiian and Philippine islands, on the coast of
Japan, in the tropical Pacific, along the west coast of America from
Alaska to Panama, and at Porto Rico.

Of mammals, the principal additions came from Malaysia through
Doctor Abbott; of birds, from*the Philippines and Guam through
Doctor Mearns; of reptiles, from Japan, Formosa, and the Philip-
pines, and of mollusks, from Burma through Doctor Chamberlain.
Besides the Schaus collection, the division of insects received 33,000
specimens through the Department of Agriculture, mainly from
Texas, Central America, the West Indies, and Japan.

Over 37,000 plants were added to the Herbarium, the greater num-
ber having been obtained through explorations in Mexico and from
the Department of Agriculture.

The U.S. Geological Survey was the principal contributor in geo-
logical subjects, the transfers including large series of rocks and ores
from recent surveys in the West, and of many thousands of fossil
invertebrates and plants described in recent bulletins. There were,
however, many additions of valuable material from other sources.

As far as can be determined, it may be said that the entire series of
collections is being maintained in good condition, and every possible
resource is directed toward preserving this rich accumulation of over
sixty years until its safety can be further insured in more appropriate
and secure surroundings. All additions have been carefully recorded,
and to the extent that the conveniences permit, all classes of specimens
are accessible for reference or study.

The large upper hall in the Smithsonian building, devoted to the
archeological collections, so long under repair, has been again opened
to the public with an entire revision of its contents, which makes it
more attractive and instructive than ever.

Notwithstanding the increased demands upon the staff in routine
matters, the amount of research work accomplished in connection with
the classification of the collections has been noteworthy. The number

10 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

of publications issued during the year was exceptional, comprising 8
volumes, though some of these were begun the year before. They
consist of 1 annual report, 3 volumes of proceedings, and 4 bulletins.
Of the papers they contain, 81 were actually issued during the year, all
descriptive of the collections in the Museum except the administra-
tive reports. The number of copies of volumes and separates dis-
tributed was over 100,000.

Of duplicate specimens separated from the reserve collections, over
20,000 were distributed to educational establishments throughout the
country and above 17,000 were used in making exchanges.

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF MUSEUMS.

On December 21, 1905, the directors of several of the large museums
in the United States met at the National Museum to discuss the
expediency of organizing for America a society corresponding in its
aims with the Museums Association of Great Britain. As a result of
the deliberations at this time a call was issued for a general meeting,
which was held at the American Museum of Natural History, New
York, on May 15 and 16, 1906, the attendance being large and repre-
sentative of museums of art, as well as of natural history and eth-
nology. An organization was effected by the adoption of a temporary
constitution and the election of a board of officers. The publication
of some form of periodical in the interest of museums was proposed,

The importance of this movement, so auspiciously inaugurated, can
not be overestimated, since the opportunity for interchange of views
will surely stimulate the activities of museums everywhere and tend
to increase their benefits in behalf of the public, for which they are
instituted.

For the operations of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, Congress
voted the following appropriations in the sundry civil act approved
June 30, 1906:

Besides the regular appropriations, $500,000 was granted for con-
tinuing work upon the new building for the Museum.

Comparing the appropriations for 1907 with those for 1906, it will
be noticed that the amount for furniture and fixtures has been reduced
by $2,500 and that for printing and binding has been increased by
$9,000. The latter change was occasioned by the fact that all printing
was specifically appropriated for, while heretofore the cost of printing
the annual reports was charged against the general fund of the Goy-
ernment Printing Office.

BUILDINGS.

An account of the progress made in the erection of the new Museum
building has been given on a previous page.

The subjects requiring most attention under building repairs were
the roofs and certain measures for increasing the fire protection.
Each section of the Museum building has virtually a separate roof.
The rotunda, main halls, courts, corner pavilions and central towers
are covered with slate, while the low ranges which adjoin the outer
walls are roofed with tin. There is besides a complicated system of
gutters and down spouts. The tin roofs have at no time demanded
more than the ordinary amount of repair, but most of the slate roofs,
which are too flat to justify the use of that material, and the gutters
and down spouts have caused endless annoyance and much damage. It
had been thought necessary to await the completion of the new build-
ing before steps could be taken to replace them. Through the cour-

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 13

tesy of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, how-
ever, plans were drawn up during the year under which new tin roofs
may be substituted for the slate over the exhibition halls without
materially interfering with the collections below. While much of the
framework is scarcely strong enough to support slate, it is entirely
adequate for the lighter metal covering. It was not until late in the
year that the arrangements to this end were perfected, but contracts
were let for roofs over the east hall and the adjoining courts, the work
to continue during the summer. It is expected that as much, if not
more, can be accomplished under the appropriation for 1907.

Some attention has also been given to the gutters and down spouts
on the Smithsonian building, which have for a long time been in such
bad condition that during the spring thaws a great deal of water backs
into the archeological hall, causing injury to the walls and the dis-
figurement of the painting. Much of the old tin roof on the Museum
building was painted, and the old slate on the northwest pavilion was
replaced by other of a better quality.

The partitions which separate the halls, courts, and ranges in the
Museum building are broken by so many large, arched openings, reach-
ing nearly to the roofs, as to make of the exhibition space practically
one large room, about two acres in extent. While the building itself,
including these interior partitions, was constructed of freproof
materials, yet the immense collection, now greatly crowded, contains
much that is combustible. Every possible means of detecting the
occurrence of a fire and of preventing its spread have been introduced,
but as an additional and very necessary precaution it has been decided
to isolate the different sections as far as possible. The only way to
accomplish this effectively is to close all openings, except the few
necessary passageways, with some fireproof material, and macite has
been selected for the purpose after subjecting it to a thorough test.
Much was done in this direction during the year, the following places
having been already isolated wholly or in part: The story over the south-
east range, occupied by a part of the herbarium and of the collections
of the Biological Survey; the gallery in the west-north range used by
the library and the division of history; the pueblo court, and the west
‘side of the south hall.

Among other items of repair may be mentioned the entire renova-
tion, including the plumbing, of the toilet rooms in the Museum build-
ing; the laying of a broad water table along the north front of the
same building to check the seepage of water into the conduits con-
taining the steam pipes and electric wires; the repainting of all the
woodwork on the outside of this building; the renewal of the 42 win-
dows in the clearstory of the west corridor of the Smithsonian build-
ing, and the repainting of many walls, disigured by water or by time.

NAT Mus 1906——2

14 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

The heating plant was kept in good condition, with a few changes
and additions. Steam was maintained from October 13, 1905, to May
11, 1906, with a consumption of 725 tons of furnace coal, 43 tons of
ego coal, and 323 cords of wood.

A thorough inspection of the electric lighting system was made by an
electrical engineer detailed by the Supervising Architect of the Treas-
ury Department, with the result of introducing many changes in the
plant, to make it conform more nearly to modern methods and to
eliminate all elements of danger.

There were on hand at the close of the year 2,336 exhibition cases,
2,279 storage cases, and 1,580 pieces of miscellaneous furniture. Of
the additions in this line during the year, 59 cases were made in the
Museum workshops, 151 were purchased, 14 were acquired from the
Bureau of American Republics, and 2 from the U. 8. Geological Sur-
vey. Besides this above 1,641 standard unit storage cases, insect
drawers, and trays were purchased, and a great deal of attention was
given in the Museum shops to repairing, remodeling, and refinishing
old exhibition cases.

The danger from fire, which is greater in the storage rooms than in
the exhibition halls, has led to some experiments in the direction of
securing noncombustible furniture for the former, having especially
in view the needs of the new building. In providing for the storage
of the Schaus collection of Lepidoptera, which fills about 500 mahog-
any drawers of regulation size, a very satisfactory metal case was
obtained on special order, each of a size to hold 50 of the drawers in
two vertical tiers. The racks are made of channel and angle iron and
covered on the back and top with sheet iron, and with the runners on
which the drawers slide of cold-rolled steel riveted to the channel irons
on the side. Experiments are in progress looking to the construction
in metal of satisfactory standard storage cases and drawers, and her-
barium cases. A number of the drawers have been received, but it is
still too early to pass judgment upon them. Shelves of iron and glass
have also been introduced in one of the laboratories, with excellent
results.

ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS.

The total number of accessions received during the year was 1,516,
comprising 257,605 specimens, of which 8,232 were assigned to the
department of anthropology, 227,633 to the department of biology,
and 21,740 to the department of geology. <A detailed list of these
accessions is given in the latter part of this report, only the more
important ones being referred to on the following pages.

Anthropology.—Oft the 62 accessions received by the division of
ethnology, the larger ones, with a single exception, resulted from

explorations by Dr. W. L. Abbott, Dr. Walter Hough, Prof. E. L.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 15

Hewett, and Mr. George W. Ellis. The contributions from Doctor
Abbott comprised three collections, the first from the islands of
Engano and Nias, off the west coast of Sumatra, with a few speci-
mens from other neighboring localities; the second from West
Borneo, and the third from western Sumatra. The Engano collec-
tion is especially interesting for the reason that the natives, who
are fast disappearing, present marked differences in their arts from
the inhabitants of other near-by islands. It consists, besides photo-
graphs of the people, of articles illustrating their costumes and orna-
ments, weapons and trophies of war, canoes and paddles, nets and
traps, domestic utensils, baskets, tools, and the products of various
industries. The Nias collection, which is also large and valuable, was
secured principally in the extreme north and south of the island. It
resembles that from Engano, but is especially rich in objects of wor-
ship. The material from West Borneo was secured in the Pontianak
residency, which includes the waters of the Kapuas River system.
This region was thoroughly explored by Doctor Abbott, who visited
all the subdistricts. The collection is especially rich in basketry and
weapons, but other classes of objects are well represented, such as
traps, tools, and other utensils connected with the domestic arts, cos-
tumes, musical instruments, and agricultural implements. The col-
lection from western Sumatra, though much smaller than the others,
is of much value.

The collection of the Museum-Gates expedition contains about 3,000
specimens. The exploration was conducted by Doctor Hough, in con-
junction with Mr. P. G. Gates, of Pasadena, California, who gener-
ously assumed the entire expense of the fieldwork. The season
extended from June to October, 1905, the region covered lying in the
mountains and drainage system of the San Francisco River on the
border between Arizona and New Mexico. The material secured con-
sists of pottery, stone implements, basketry, bows and arrows, tex-
tile fabrics, ceremonial offerings, etc., from ancient pueblos and caves,
the bones of several animals, including the bison, being obtained in
the latter. From the pueblo cemeteries the skeletons of former
inhabitants were secured, and from one of the caves three desiccated
human bodies. A collection of plants was also made.

An exploration of the ruins in Pajarito Park, New Mexico, by Prof.
E. L. Hewett, for the Bureau of American Ethnology, resulted in the
acquisition of 429 specimens, principally ancient Tewa pottery and
bone and stone implements and crania. The collection is especially
interesting on account of the class of pottery, which is of a new type,
exhibiting a remarkable symbolism, and from the fact that the crania
secured were almost all purely dolichocephalic.

The collection from Mr. George W. Ellis, of Monrovia, Liberia,
was received as a loan. It consists of 393 ethnological objects from

16 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

the Vai-speaking peoples of western Africa (Soudan), gathered by
Mr. Ellis while at his post as secretary of the American legation in
Liberia. It is rich in specimens of the fine leather work manufactured
by these natives and also contains examples of their costumes, pottery,
models of canoes, household belongings, and samples of the mineral,
animal, and vegetable products of the country.

The Philippine Insular Commission at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition presented 458 specimens, a selection from the immense
exhibits of the Commission, consisting of pottery, musical instruments,
basketry, agricultural tools, models of houses, transportation devices,
costumes, textile fabrics, ete., illustrating the culture of the islands.
This gift was in addition to the large collection received from the
same source the year before.

Mrs. Jane Friedenwald, of Baltimore, donated to the Museum a
collection of ethnologica, numbering 46 objects from the Egyptian
Soudan, comprising musical instruments, spears, swords, ironwork,
and leather work, of superior interest and yalue. The geographical
cabinet of the Benedictine School, Seitenstetten, Lower Austria, sent
in exchange, through Prof. P. Josef Schock, an excellent series of 19
ethnological and industrial objects from southeastern Europe. Dr. H.
Pittier, of the U. 5. Department of Agriculture, contributed a collec-
tion of 18 ethnological specimens from the Popayan Indians of Cauca,
Colombia, consisting of baskets, dishes, personal ornaments, and figu-
rines carved from seeds and painted in colors.

The more noteworthy additions to the division of prehistoric arche-
ology have been as follows: Through Mr. Jean Miguel, of Herault,
France, there were obtained in exchange 106 objects, including flint
hatchets, knives and scrapers, bone awls, fragments of animal and
human bones, etc., mainly from caverns in France and Algeria, besides
a number of polished stone implements, fragments of pottery, bronze
pins, and a bronze hatchet, from various localities in France and from
a pile dwelling at Lake Morat, Switzerland. Mr. Miguel also donated
a small collection of the same character. Dr. H. Pittier presented 3
especially fine specimens of earthenware spindle whorls, with incised
and inlaid decorations, taken from graves in the Cauca Valley, Colom-
bia, and also a gold spider and fishhook from southern Cauca. A
small collection from Bogota, Colombia, consisting mainly of stone
spindle whorls, all more or less decorated with incised line patterns, and
a number of stone implements from New Jersey, were received asa gift
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Pope, of Valparaiso, Chile. Thirty-one
sarthenware bowls, bottles, effigy vases, tripod vases and figurines,
and two stone hatchets, from Ahoma, Sinaloa, Mexico, apparently
washed out of an ancient burial ground, were contributed by Mr. E.
W. Nelson, of the Biological Survey, who obtained them during: his
summer field-work of 1905.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. IG.

An interesting collection of 58 polished stone hatchets, arrow points,
perforators, rice spoons, roughly shaped points of flint, curved
‘‘jewels” or amulets, and a bead of nephrite, from various localities
in Japan, were received in exchange from Mr. Y. Hirase, of Kara-
sumaru, Kyoto. Five sculptured stone heads, parts of small statues,
from Nagasaki, Japan, said to have been placed over graves, and
belonging to the collection of the late Pierre Louis Jouy, were pre-
sented by Mrs. Jouy.

The Bureau of American Ethnology transferred a quantity of shell
implements and objects, fragments of pottery, many showing incised
and stamped decorations, and fossil bones obtained by Dr. Ales
Hrdlitka from a shell mound near Osprey, Florida; and the U. &.
Geological Survey a large number of mollusks, representing 24
species, illustrating a part of the food of the mound builders, collected
at the same place by Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan.

A loan collection belonging to Mr. A. H. Blackiston, of Cumber-
land, Maryland, comprises earthenware ollas, bowls, efligy vases, etc.,
with painted and incised decorations, and a number of the highly pol-
ished specimens of black ware, stone axes, mortars, pestles, rabbing
and polishing stones, carved stone amulets, copper objects, shell beads
and pendants, shell necklaces, sandals of yucca fiber, fragments of
cane matting, and pieces of human and animal bones from the Casas
Grandes Valley and from Cave Valley, Chihuahua, Mexico, many
having been obtained from ancient cliff dwellings. The painted pot-
tery is of special interest as representing some new forms and sym-
bolisms. An ax of limonite, found by Mr. J. M. Wulfing while dig-
ging a well in Gasconade County, Missouri, is especially noteworthy
from the fact that the material is quite light, like chalk, and not of
the usual firm, heavy material of which stone axes are made.

The principal accessions in the division of physical anthropology
were as follows: Over 100 specimens from Malay, including a num-
ber of brains of the orang, gibbon, and monkeys, besides 4 complete
bodies of gibbons, presented by Doctor Abbott; an important collec-
tion of skeleton parts of white races, from Prof. George 5. Hunting-
ton, of Columbia University, in exchange; many crania and other
bones, through the Bureau of Ethnology, collected at the ancient Indian
ruins in Pajarito Park, New Mexico, by Mr. E. L. Hewett, and in the
vicinity of Osprey, Florida, by Doctor Hrdlitka; Indian bones and
crania from mounds in North Dakota, donated by Prof. H. Montgom-
ery, of the University of Toronto; many specimens of the same char-
acter from the ancient sites of Pueblo Indians in New Mexico and
Arizona, through the Museum-Gates expedition of 1905; the brains
of a number of animals which had died at the National Zoological
Park; nearly 1,000 photographs of Indians belonging to over 30 tribes

18 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico from nega-
tives taken by Doctor Hrdlitka on the Hyde expeditions, contributed
by the American Museum of Natural History. Important material
was also received from Dr. H. Pittier, Dr. D. S. Lamb, of the Army
Medical Museum, Prof. J. E. Tylor, of Oxford, Maryland, and Mr.
C. Hagenbeck.

The additions to the collections of technology were exceptionally
valuable and noteworthy, especially in the section of firearms. This
was mainly due to the generosity of the United States Cartridge Com-
pany, of Lowell, Massachusetts, in depositing its unique historical
collection of small arms, which the company has been assembling for
some years. It is the finest and most complete collection of its kind
in the country, and its acquisition places the Museum in the front rank
in respect to this subject. The collection comprizes 569 pieces, many
of great rarity, carefully selected to illustrate the art of gun making
from the beginning to the present time. It is systematically installed
in 38 mahogany cases furnished by the company and very appropri-
ately constructed to display their contents to the best advantage. All
important typical features in the mechanical development of devices
for throwing projectiles are shown, from the crossbow through the
advancing stages of matchlocks, wheel locks, flintlocks, guns with
percussion pill locks, percussion cap locks, and magazine primer locks,
to the modern types adapted to the use of metallic cartridges. The
development of breech-loading and magazine guns is well illustrated.
Many of the pieces are examples of fine artistic work in gold, silver,
ivory, and other ornamental materials.

Of the 38 cases in the exhibition 1 is devoted to arbalests, or cross-
bows; 1 to ancient matchlocks; 1 to Japanese matchlocks and blunder-
busses; 2 to flintlock muskets used in the war of the revolution; 1 to
guns made by the United States Government between 1799 and 1860;
8 to guns used by the United States Army during the civil war; 1 to
guns used by the Confederate army during the civil war; 1 to breech-
loading rifles; 1 to repeating arms; 1 to magazine and revolving arms;
1 to telescope and sporting rifles; 2 to rifles captured from American
Indians; 2 to musketoons, whaling guns, etc.; 3 to fowling pieces; 1
to guns used by historical personages; 1 to foreign flintlocks; 1 to
modern military guns, and 5 to revolvers and pistols. In two special
cases are a Springfield magazine rifle of the model of 1903, and what
is considered the most valuable piece in the collection, commonly called
the Cookson gun, dated 1586. The latter appears to have been made
by John Cookson, in England, but shows, in features of construction
and embellishment, certain Spanish, Moorish, or Turkish character-
istics. It is of superior workmanship and is elaborately and richly
decorated. The features of most interest are the magazine and auto-

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 19

matic loading devices. Separate chambers in the stock carry a supply
of loose powder and bullets, and these are fed into the barrel by a
single movement of a simple lever, which at the same time closes the
pan and cocks the hammer of the flintlock. This relic was discovered
in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1863, by a provost-marshal and held in the
custody of the Government until after the close of the war, when it
was sold to a local dealer, finally passing into the possession of the
Cartridge Company.

Three interesting pieces have also been added to the collection of
arms through the courtesy of the War Department. One is a Spring-
field musket made in 1800, being the immediate successor of the
Charleville model, of which a number of examples were sent to this
country by the Government of France just before the war of the Revo-
lution. The Charleville model was employed by the French army and
was regarded as the most effective military gun of its time; it was used
during a considerable period by the ordnance officers of the United
States Army as a pattern for making guns at the Springfield Arsenal,
slight improvements being introduced from time to time. The other
two are United States magazine rifles of the model of 1903, with
improvements of 1905, including the knife bayonet.

The coilection of aeroplanes has received several important pieces.
One of these was an example of the so-called air sailer, having no pro-
pelling power, but used to support a man in flight from some elevated
point to the ground, constructed and used by Otto Lilienthal, a noted
German experimenter in this subject, which was presented to the
Museum by Mr. John Brisben Walker. - Another was one of the flying
machines invented by Mr. Lawrence Hargrave, of New South Wales,
and donated by the Field Museum of Natural History of Chicago.
This example is provided with propellers driven by a compressed-air
engine placed near the forward end of a central tubular shaft, the
latter serving as the compressed-air reservoir, and was tested by Mr.
Hargrave in 1891, when it made a flight of 312 feet. Mr. Octave
Chanute, of Chicago, so well known for his experiments in aerodromics,
has very generously given to the Museum a number of small models
and parts of apparatus of his own devising, which are of much histor-
ical interest.

The collection of American watch movements has been enriched by
several interesting additions, illustrating advancing steps in the indus-
try. Asaloan from Mr. Frederick Leach, of New York, there were
received a movement made by Dennison, Howard & Davis, at Wal-
tham, Mass., before the organization of the American Waltham Com-
pany, and forming a basis for the work done immediately afterwards;
one of the first stem-winding lady’s watches; a collection of typical
watch movements made in the United States at an early date, and one

20 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

watch movement made by the Palmer Watch Company, of Waltham.
Mr. Thomas Featherstonhaugh, of Washington, presented a move-
ment made by the United States Watch Company, Marion, New Jer-
sey, which marks a step in the history of watch making in the United
States, and Mr. J. C. Lindsey, of Ravenna, Ohio, contributed an
antique silver watch made by Christian Lehmann, at Vattenuyl, Ger-
many, Supposed to be about one hundred and fifty years old.

Mr. George F’. Cummings, of New York, donated two historical docu-
ments relating to the invention of the telegraph, one being an invita-
tion from Professor Morse to the father of Mr. Cummings to witness
the operation of his electric magnetic telegraph at a private exhibi-
tion in the geological cabinet of the New York City University on
January 22, 1838, the other an original- message recorded in the char-
acters of the Morse alphabet, said to have been made on the same
date.

The gallery of ceramics received 94 pieces, the most interesting
addition being a gift from the Libby Glass Company, illustrating the
processes involved in the manufacture of cut glass. The materials and
the proportion of each employed in the making of the glass are rep-
resented. There is a miniature model of the furnace with the clay
crucibles in which the glass is melted, and also a set of the tools and a
series of objects in glass showing the successive stages of cutting from
the plain condition to the finished product, comprising beautiful exam-
ples of this art. The Rey. Curt Morhart, of Bavaria, generously
donated a clay tablet with green glaze, bearing an allegorical repre-
sentation of what is said to be the discovery of America by Columbus;
it is supposed to have been made between 1520 and 1545. Through
the meeting in Washington, during the winter, of the American Pot-
ters’ Association, the Museum came into possession of 50 fine exam-
ples of the potter’s art, presented by 21 different manufacturers. The
association has generously offered to add material to this collection
when more space becomes available, and to keep the Museum supplied
with the latest noteworthy productions.

Of the additions in graphic arts, two may be mentioned. The first
consists of twelve lithographic prints in color, constituting a part of
the illustrations in the notable work of the late Heber R. Bishop, enti-
tled ‘* Investigations and Studies in Jade.” They were presented by
the Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Company, of Boston, and rep-
resent the highest type of the lithographic art of to-day. The other
is an original copperplate, one of a series engraved for illustrating
‘* Philoponus,” etc., published by the Benedictine Monastery at Seiten-
stetten, Lower Austria, in 1621, and obtained in exchange from the
Geographical School Museum at the monastery.

The section of photography received, among many other objects,
one of the first model ‘‘Genie” magazine cameras, presented by

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 21

Mr. William E. Schneider, of Washington, and an Ipper’s relief-
photograph, showing an entirely new application of photography,
the gift of Mr. Albert H. Walker, of New York City.

To the collection of musical instruments were added an upright
piano, with twelve boxes of musical instruments made by Debain, of
Paris, about 1850, a bequest from the late Mrs. Ann A. Jeffcott,
of New Haven, Connecticut; a collection of old musical instruments
presented by Mr. Weston D. Bayley, of Philadelphia, and a harp or
musical bow of the type made and used by the natives of the Barbados,
from Mrs. Sarah $. Frishmuth, of Philadelphia.

One of the most important acquisitions by the division of historic
religions was a Tibetan manuscript presented by the British Indian
government, entitled ‘‘ Prajna Paramita, or Transcendental Wisdom.”
It consists of a treatise on Tibetan Buddhistic theology or metaphysics,
written in gold characters on the black ground of 363 cardboards,
between coyers of lacquered wood. To Mr. Ephraim Benguiat the
Museum is indebted for the loan of the following objects: An elaborate
embroidery of fine French workmanship of the period of Louis XV,
representing Joseph in an Egyptian chariot, with scenes of Egyptian
life; an old English lamp, with a chain of quatrefoil; eight finely
wrought and engraved silver cups used at the Jewish passover meal,
and an old Samaritan bronze case of the Torah scroll, inlaid in silver,
with Samaritan inscriptions and arabesques. Of special interest for
the study of religions is a ‘‘ Pujah” set, consisting of the parapher-
nalia used in Hindu family worship, showing the private and domestic
side of Hindu religious life, obtained from Miss Emily Brainard
Ryder.

The historical collection received many accessions during the year,
of which the following are the more important: Mrs. Julian James,
of Washington, added to her already large loan collection many cos-
tumes, ornaments of personal wear, and toilet articles, worn or used
by the Bailey-Myers-Mason families from 1812 to 1900. The interest
shown by Mrs. James in the welfare of this division may be illustrated
by the mention of some of her recent deposits, which comprise gold
and silver watches ornamented with jewels; bracelets of diamonds and
other precious stones and of carved jet beads; tortoise-shell combs,
some jeweled; opera glasses, one with a diamond monogram; brooches,
pins, card cases of silver, gold, and amber, a solid silver wash bowl
and pitcher handed down in the family from Spanish ancestors; silver
cups, jade intaglio scarf pins, a pearl and diamond necklace on gold
wire, gold and silver chatelaine bags, fans of pearl and ivory, earrings
of gold and precious stones, five rare and valuable East India shawls,
parasols of lace and carved ebony, a dress of pina cloth, satin and silk
dresses, signet rings; a cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic and
one of the Legion of Honor of France conferred upon members of

22 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

the family, commissions and warrants in the Navy, and other docu-
ments. Mrs. James also presented the telescope used by Rear-Admiral
(then Captain) Theodorius Bailey, U. 5. Navy, second in command of
the Mississippi expedition sent by Admiral Farragut on May 1, 1862,
to demand the surrender of the city of New Orleans.

Five pieces of silver plate presented by the common councils of the
cities of Philadelphia and New York, in 1813, to Capt. James Law-
rence, U. S. Navy, of the U. S. S. Hornet, for his capture of the
British sloop-of-war Peacock during the war of 1812, were lent by Mr.
William Preston Redmond, of New York City. A telescope and gold-
headed cane which belonged to Gen. Santa Anna, President of Mexico
and commander of the army of invasion of Texas in 1836, were depos-
ited in behalf of the heirs of Gen. Sam Houston, and several uniforms
and objects of military accouterment worn by Gen. José Antonio
Paez, the Venezuelan patriot who died at New York City in 1861, when
minister from Venezuela to the United States, were received as a loan
from José Antonio Paez, of Staten Island, New York. It is interest-
ing to note in this connection the acquisition by the Museum of a full-
length oil portrait of General Paez, painted by John J. Peoli, and
generously donated by the children of the artist through his daughter,
Mrs. Mary Peoli Maginn, of New York. Mr. Peoli was born in New
York, October 1, 1825, but when only 3 years old his parents removed
to Havana, where the youth began the study of art at the Royal
Academy of San Alejandro. At the age of 14 years he gained the
first prize, which entitled him to a scholarship at Rome, at which place
he studied 8 years under the celebrated painter Minardi. From Rome
he went to Paris and Madrid, where he continued his studies, and at
the latter city painted the portraits of several members of the royal
family. He afterwards resided many years in the United States, but
died in Sagua la Grande, Cuba, on July 8, 1893. He was an intimate
friend and ardent admirer of General Paez.

The chair used by Gen. U. S. Grant when he signed the terms of
capitulation with Gen. R. E. Lee, at Appomattox Court House, has
become the property of the Museum through the bequest of the late
Gen. Wilmon W. Blackmar, U. 8S. Army.

The notable table service of 32 pieces, comprising a silver and gilt
punch bowl, cups, spoons, a coffeepot, teapot, sugar bowl, milk
pitcher, and two massive silver engraved waiters, made by Tomaso and
Fernando Zamora, native jewelers and silversmiths of Manila, Philip-
pine Islands, and exhibited at the Louisiana Purchase and Lewis and
Clark expositions, was purchased by the War Department and depos-
ited in the Museum.

An interesting collection, comprising 22 pieces of fractional cur-
rency, 8 medals, 27 gold coins, 356 silver coins, 312 copper coins, and
6 nickel coins, and including many rare examples from America and

other countries, assembled by Mr. Claas Denekas, has been loaned to
the Museum by Miss Gesine Denekas, of Brightwood, D. C.

Mention may here be made of the marble bust of the late Walter
Reed, major and surgeon, U. S. Army, an exquisite example of the
sculptor’s art, executed by Mr. Hans Schuler, of Baltimore, for the
Walter Reed Memorial Association, which, through the courtesy of
the association, now occupies a prominent place in the main hall.
Although only 51 years of age at the time of his death in 1902, Major
Reed had attained rank among the most distinguished benefactors of
humanity by his intelligent and conclusive experiments on the trans-
mission of yellow fever, resulting in the establishment of effective
means for checking and even eradicating this most dread disease of
the American tropics. Scarcely less noteworthy in character and thor-
oughness were his previous investigations upon the subject of typhoid
fever

Biology.—The largest biological accession of the year, and one of
the largest donations the department has ever received, was the collec-
tion of 75,000 American Lepidoptera, presented by Mr. William
Schaus, as elsewhere described. _

The Museum has also continued to be indebted to Dr. W. L. Abbott,
one of its associates, who sent three large zoological collections from
the East Indies, comprising about 2,600 specimens, of which about
1,700 were vertebrates. They represent investigations by Doctor
Abbott on the west coast of Sumatra and the adjacent islands of
Engano and Nias; on the coast and islands of eastern Sumatra, and in
West Borneo. The Engano and Nias collection consists of 442 mam-
mals, 363 birds, 77 reptiles, and 850 butterflies; the eastern Sumatra
collection, of 352 mammals and 95 birds; and the West Borneo collec-
tion of 296 mammals and 70 birds. There was also received from
Doctor Abbott and Mr. C. B. Kloss jointly a series of 98 mammal
skins from the Rhio Archipelago. None of these collections have yet
been fully worked up, but many new species have already been dis-
covered, and the contribution as a whole is of exceeding interest and
value.

The U.S. Bureau of Fisheries transmitted an exceptionally large
number of important collections of fishes and marine invertebrates.
Among the former were many type specimens of new species from
the Hawaiian and Philippine islands, Japan, and the northwest coast
of America. Of the latter, which were comprised in about 3,000
packages, there were, besides much unidentified material, twelve
important collections which had been studied by specialists, consist-
ing of about 1,000 lots of specimens and 143 types of new species,
belonging to the following groups: Barnacles, schizopod crustaceans,
and annelids from Hawaii; isopod crustaceans, echinoderms, and
corals from Porto Rico; annelids from Alaska, Japan, and the Great

24 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

Lakes; corals, with commensal annelids, and sponges from the region
about Panama; and corals from the South Pacific. There were also
many mollusks, chiefly from the Pacific Ocean.

Maj. Edgar A. Mearns, surgeon, U.S. Army, contributed about 150
specimens of birds from the Philippine Islands and Guam, including
several species new to the Museum, and a large number of rats and
shrews from Manila and vicinity.

Among the additions specifically to the division of mammals was a
mounted specimen of the handsome broad-horned antelope, Huryceros
euryceros, from West Africa, collected by Mr. W. N. McMillan and
presented by Mrs. McMillan. This genus had not previously been
represented in the Museum. The British Museum transmitted in
exchange a collection of small mammals from Borneo, China, Africa,
and Australia, consisting mainly of species new to the National
Museum; the Copenhagen University Zoological Museum, specimens
of the Norwegian wild reindeer and red deer, both of which are
becoming rare; and the Civic Museum, of Genoa, 51 specimens of bats,
chiefly from South America, but including two Malayan genera. <A
collection of small mammals from Java, obtained through the offices
of the United States consular agent at Padang, Sumatra, are of special
interest as coming from a region from which many species were
described at an early date. Among the mammals received from the
National Zoological Park was a specimen of Grevy’s zebra, a species
new to the Museum. A small but important collection of birds from
islands in the Bay of Panama, including specimens of newly described
species from the type localities, was obtained from the Hon. J. E.
Thayer in exchange.

To the division of reptiles and batrachians there was added, as a
gift from the Science College of the Imperial University of Tokyo,
a valuable collection from Japan, the Riukiu Archipelago, and For-
mosa, containing the types of several new forms and species not pre-
viously in the National Museum. This division also received a small
but interesting collection from the Philippine Islands, presented by
Mr, R. C. McGregor; a series of 24 specimens illustrating the devel-
opment of the spotted-tailed salamander, Spelerpes maculicaudus, the
gift of Mr. W. L. McAtee and Mr. A. M. Banta; 16 specimens of
rare North American salamanders, including one new species, Petho-
don shermani, from Mr. C. 8. Brimley, and 2 specimens of a new
species of horned toad from Mexico, from Mr. R. L. Ditmars.

Beside the material from the Bureau of Fisheries, already men-
tioned, the division of fishes obtained two important accessions. The
first consisted of specimens from Ecuador and Peru, collected by Mr.
P. O. Simon; the second of a large number of Mexican species col-
lected by Dr. S. E. Meek and contributed by the Field Museum of
Natural History.

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 25

Dr. L. T. Chamberlain, an associate of the Museum, presented to
the division of mollusks a collection of Naiades from upper Burma,
which included a fine series of the largest existing species of fresh-
water mussel. A large series of Japanese shells, contributed by Dr.
W. H. Dall, and another similar series obtained by purchase, embrace
about 400 species, many recently described. Other noteworthy dona-
tions were about 540 species of South African shells, from Lieut. Col.
W. H. Turton, of Bristol, England; about 250 Uruguayan shells, from
Dr. F. Filippone, of Montevideo; over 1,000 Costa Rican and other
Central and South American shells, from Dr. H. Pittier; a number of
Mexican land shells from the collection of the agronomic bureau of the
Mexican Government, through Prof. A. L. Herrera, and the type
specimen of Scala mitchelli, from Texas, from Mr. J. D. Mitchell.
The Museum collection of Mexican land shells has become one of the -
finest in existence.

Among many additions to the division of marine invertebrates,
aside from the large transfers made by the Bureau of Fisheries, four
exchanges are worthy of special mention, as follows: A collection of
141 specimens of corals, including the types of 13 species, from the
Bishop Museum, Honolulu; a series of 22 specimens of corals from
the Cape Verde Islands, from Mr. J. Stanley Gardiner; 23 species of
Pacific coast bryozoans, from Dr. Alice Robertson, and 14 species of
Cumacea, from the west coast of Ireland, from the British Museum.

The number of accessions received by the division of insects was
312, comprising nearly 122,000 specimens. The gift by Mr. William
Schaus of his collection of American butterflies and moths, numbering
75,000 specimens, stands preeminent among all the accessions of the
year, and adds immensely to the richness and importance of the
national collection of Lepidoptera. Two thousand of the specimens
came from Mexico, the remainder from North and South America.
The Museum was also indebted to the Rey. Robert Brown, S. J., for
important gifts of insects from the Philippine Islands, and to Prof.
H. Maxwell-Lefroy for valuable contributions of East Indian para-
sitic Hymenoptera. The collections transferred by the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture were, as usual, of great extent and value. The
following six lots, comprising about 33,000 specimens, are especially
noteworthy: 10,000 specimens from Texas, collected by Mr. H. 8S.
Barber; 3,000 specimens from Central America, collected by Mr. F.
Knab; 10,000 specimens from Guatemala, collected by Mr. E. A.
Schwarz and Mr. H. 8. Barber; 5,000 specimens from the West
Indies, collected by Mr. A. Busck; 3,000 Japanese insects from the
exhibit at the St. Louis Exposition, presented to the Department by
Mr. K. N. Ohashi, and 2,000 specimens from Plummers Island, Mary-
land, collected by Messrs. Schwarz, Clemons, and Barber. Among
exchanges may be mentioned 500 moths from the American Museum

26 | REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

of Natural History; Coleoptera and Hemiptera from New Guinea,
through Mr. O. Kronov; and a collection of Hymenoptera containing
many cotypes of recently described species, from the Sarawak Museum,
Borneo.

The division of plants received 575 accessions, containing in the
ageregate 37,751 specimens. The most important accession was the
collection made by Dr. J. N. Rose and Mr. J. H. Painter, while
detailed for field work in Mexico. It comprises 4,477 specimens, is
especially rich in cacti, and includes many rare species from type
localities, as well as numerous undescribed species. The number
of specimens transferred from the Department of Agriculture was
15,145, of which 13,786 specimens came from the Bureau of Plant
Industry, 931 from the Biological Survey, 320 from the Forest Serv-
ice, and 108 from the Bureau of Entomology. Through exchange with
the New York Botanical Garden 1,748 plants, including much West
Indian material, were obtained; and by gift from Dr. H. Pittier, 406
specimens, chiefly from Central America.

Geology.—The total number of specimens received by the Depart-
ment of Geology, exclusive of duplicates, was approximately 21,000,
comprized in 164 accessions, of which 91 consisted of rocks, ores, and
minerals, 16 of fossil vertebrates, 44 of fossil invertebrates, and 13 of
fossil plants. Four hundred and seventy-two lots of specimens were
also received from different parts of the country for identification
and report.

The division of systematic and applied geology obtained by transfer
from the Geological Survey 1,335 specimens of rocks and ores illus-
trating field work in the Mount Stuart and Tacoma quadrangles of
Washington; the gold belt of the Blue Mountains; ‘the Cripple Creek
district, and the Needle Mountain Quadrangle of Colorado; the Marys-
ville district of Montana; the Clifton Morenci district of Arizona, and
the lead and zine district of western Kentucky. The same bureau
also transmitted about 475 hand specimens of native and foreign rocks
and a large collection of phosphates, associated rocks, and fossils col-
lected in Florida by the late George H. Eldridge.

Among other noteworthy additions to this division were specimens
of Alaskan ores, presented by the Alaskan Commission at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition; a collection of rocks and ores from the Philip-
pine Islands, obtained at the same exposition; a fine specimen of
phonolite with a telluride of gold from Cripple Creek, Colorado,
donated by Mr. A. B. Frenzel; a large number of specimens of basalt,
phonolite, and dolorite collected in Colorado and Wyoming by Prof.
R. D. George; a large mass of tin ore from Lincolnton, North Carolina,
a gift of the Piedmont Mining Company; 13 samples of volcanic dust
from several eruptions of Mount Vesuvius from 1822 to 1867, donated
by Prof. J. W. Mallet, of the University of Virginia; a small collection

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 27

of rocks from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, presented by Mr. I. C.
White, of Morgantown, West Virginia; and a specimen of metallic
zinc smelted in Washington, District of Columbia, in 1835, said to be
the first zinc smelted in America from American ores.

The most important accessions in the division of mineralogy con-
sisted of the type materials of the new minerals coronadite and
morencite, and of specimens of the rare minerals emmonsite, spango-
lite, dioptase, and libenthenite from the Geological Survey, and a
unique and remarkable cube of iron pyrites, about 2 inches in diameter,
containing numerous small crystals of gold, showing cubic, octahedral,
and dodecahedral faces, and some good crystals of argentite, obtained
by purchase. Other valuable additions were a specimen of stibiotan-
talite; a complete individual, weighing 1,170 grams, of the meteorite
which fell at Modoc, Kansas, September 2, 1905; a 576-gram mass of
the Kernouve meteorite which fell in May, 1867; and a 200-gram slice
of a meteorite found at Coon Butte, Arizona, in 1905, the last named
being the gift of Mr. D. M. Barringer.

From the Geological Survey there was transferred to the section of
invertebrate paleontology a collection of Upper Cretaceous fossils
from the Judith River beds of Montana, containing the types and
other figured specimens described by Dr. T. W. Stanton in Bulletin
No. 257 of the Survey; a collection of type specimens of Miocene
foraminifera from the Monterey shale of California, described by Mr.
R. M. Bagg in Bulletin No. 268 of the Survey; and about 3,000 speci-
mens of Ordovician, Silurian, and Devonian fossils collected in Vir-
ginia by Doctor Bassler, under the auspices of the Survey. Dr. A. von
Mickwitz, of Eastland, Russia, presented over 2,000 specimens of Rus-
sian Ordovician bryozoans; Prof. Charles Schuchert, a large slab con-
taining Helderbergian crinoids from New York State, and Dr. H.
Pittier some 500 specimens of Pliocene and Pleistocene fossils from
Costa Rica. Through exchange much valuable material was also
obtained, including collections of Paleozoic fossils from Mr. George W.
Stose, of European Mesozoic, and Cenozoic fossils from’ Mr. W. E.
Crane, and of European Tertiary fossils from Mr. J. Vaquez, of
Pantin, France.

The section of vertebrate paleontology has received but few speci-
mens, since at present it is practically impossible to obtain material
of this character without sending collectors into the field, which the
Museum’ is not able to do. The following additions, however, are
deserving of mention: A nearly complete skeleton of a new species of
Sinopa from the Bridger (Eocene) of Wyoming, collected in 1902 by
Mr. Walter Granger under the auspices of the Geological Survey, and
described by Dr. W. D. Matthew under the name Sinopa granger/;
a nearly complete skull of a new genus of musk ox from the Pleisto-
cene of Alaska, obtained by Mr. W. H. Osgood, of the Department of

28 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

Agriculture, and described by him under the name Simbos terrelli;
part of the skull of a fossil ruminant from the Pleistocene of Zuni,
New Mexico, presented by the Department of the Interior, and
described and figured by Mr. Gidley, of the Museum, as Lissops zunt-
ensis, and a small collection of fossil reptiles from the Permian of
Brazil.

Of the accessions in the division of paleobotany the most important
were as follows: Several thousand specimens of Mesozoic plants,
being the material described by Ward, Fontaine, Bibbins, and Wie-
land in Monograph No. XLVIII of the Geological Survey; sev-
eral hundred examples of fossil wood and plants from the Permo-
Carboniferous of Sao Paulo and Santa Catherina, Brazil, collected by
Mr. I. C. White, and 250 specimens of fossil plants from the Judith
River beds of the Upper Cretaceous of Montana, collected in 1903 by
Mr. T. W. Stanton and Mr. J. B. Hatcher, and described in Bulletin
No. 257 of the Geological Survey.

GENERAL WORK ON THE COLLECTIONS. is

The primary duty with which the Museum staff is charged is the
care, recording, and arrangement of the immense collections, which
have lately been increasing at the rate of nearly a quarter of a million
specimens annually. This work, laborious under the best conditions,
is made especially difficult by the crowded condition of the buildings,
the inconvenient location of most of the workrooms, and the fact that
the bulk of all the material received must now be packed away fora
time in inaccessible storage quarters. The safety of specimens is never
secured by simply finding a place for them. They must be under con-
stant surveillance, for otherwise they are certain to deteriorate and
eventually to become valueless. It is, therefore, not only the recent
accessions which require attention, but every collection received from
the very first that came into the possession of the Museum. Only a
general review of the work*of the past year is given here.

In the division of physical anthropology much time was spent in
placing the older material, mainly skulls and skeletons, in proper
museum order, and in attending to the preparation and preservation of
current accessions. This involved the cleaning, identification, cata-
loging, and arrangement of a large number of specimens, and at the
close of the year the entire collection was in as perfect condition as
the limited facilities permitted. Some improvements were also made
in the accommodations of the laboratory.

The numbering and card cataloging of the extensive ethnological
collections, mainly from the Philippines, obtained at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition in 1905, were completed and the objects arranged
in storage drawers in the Museum building. In order to make more

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 29

accessible the entire reserve collections in ethnology, which have to
some extent been scattered indifferent places, partial means have been
provided for bringing them together in unit drawers, properly classi-
fied and labeled. The segregation and rearrangement of the material
representing the Eskimo, the Northwest coast and Pueblo Indians,
and that from Africa and the East Indies has been finished, and a find-
ing-catalog of the Eskimo and Northwest coast objects has been pre-
pared. The large Abbott collection has been assembled in one place,
and work upon it is still in progress. A part of one side of the Pueblo
court has been screened off as a laboratory, and the storage facilities
back of the exhibition cases have been increased by the addition of 400
unit drawers.

In the division of prehistoric archeology the routine work was
largely directed toward the rearrangement of the exhibition hall,
although the care of current accessions occupied the usual amount of
time.

Notwithstanding the diversity of subjects falling under the head of
technology, and the great extent of the collections, a considerable
part of which it is still necessary to retain in storage, the material
belonging to this division has been kept in good condition, and much
attention has been given to the history and labeling of the different
objects. In the division of graphic arts the Cranch collection of many
hundred prints was classified and arranged, and full descriptions of
each print are being prepared for use as labels. The study series has
been assembled in storage drawers back of the exhibition cases.

The collection illustrating Christian ceremonial or ecclesiastical art,
comprizing about 930 objects, was withdrawn from storage, numbered,
cataloged, and arranged for study purposes.

In the gallery room assigned to the reserve series in history suit-
able racks have been constructed for the portrait collection and drawer
racks for the duplicate specimens. The indexing and cataloging of
the portraits were continued during the year.

In the preparatory laboratories of the Department of Anthropology
there was no cessation of activity at any time during the year. It is
there that all the casting, modeling, and coloring of specimens are
done, that the lay figures are prepared for the exhibition cases, and
that the poisoning and cleaning of objects are conducted. Nowhere
else has the preparator’s art in anthropology been carried to a higher
stage of perfection, a fact that will be prominently demonstrated in
the halls of the new building.

In the division of mammals the extensive collections of rabbits and
marmots and of small to medium sized skulls were rearranged in sys-
tematic order, new cases for the former having been constructed at
the entrance to the mammal laboratory. In the division of birds some
5,000 duplicates were overhauled and invoiced, The hornbills, now

represented by a splendid collection, the fruit pigeons, and specimens
of some other groups, which had been scattered in different places,
were brought together in glass-covered drawers placed on top of the
tier of storage cases in the crowded laboratory. The recent very
large accessions from the Bureau of Fisheries made necessary the
construction of a large amount of additional shelving in the basement
storage rooms of the division of fishes. Some 12,000 specimens of
fishes were cataloged, and many of these were put in final shape and
given their appropriate places in the systematically arranged series,
special attention being paid to types and other unusually important
specimens.

In the division of mollusks, 7,500 lots of specimens were cataloged.
Good progress was made toward placing the large Jeffrey’s collection,
mainly of British shells, in final museum shape. The identification of
all the species is being verified, and the duplicates are being separated
from the reserve specimens. The rearrangement of the American land
shells, especially from Mexico and Central America, was continued,
and that of the families Doliide and Cassididz was completed. The
cataloging of the named specimens of crustaceans, echinoderms,
hydroids, bryozoans, alcyonarian and stony corals, and annelids in
the division of marine invertebrates was brought up to date, and the
extensive collection of echinoderms was rearranged, permitting the
recent additions in that group to be assigned their appropriate places.

A very large amount of work was accomplished in identifying and
rearranging specimens in the division of insects. To accommodate
the Schaus collection of Lepidoptera it was necessary to screen off a
corner of the exhibition hall devoted to fishes and reptiles. This tem-
porary laboratory has been fitted up with iron stacks to hold the
insect drawers, an initial step toward securing better fire protection
for the invaluable collections of this division. As in previous years,
the larger number of workers in this division were assistants of the
Bureau of Entomology of the U. S$. Department of Agriculture.

In the division of comparative anatomy the entire collection of
cetacean skeletons and skulls (except those of the whalebone whales)
was assembled and systematically arranged in the storage compart-
ments under the exhibition cases in the southeast range, after being
cleaned and cataloged. The fish skeletons and skulls, numbering
about 1,500, were treated in a similar manner.

The capacity of the storage cases in the division of plants was
increased by about 200 compartments, making the total number now
in use above 10,000. The herbarium is reported to be nearly free of
pests, and continuous efforts are made to prevent their gaining a foot-
hold. During the year 17,189 sheets of plants were stamped and
placed in the regular series, which now contains 385,260 sheets. The
number of plants mounted was 10,577. The work of rearranging the

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 31

herbarium in accordance with the system of Engler and Prantl was
continued, the families covered extending from Acanthacez (No. 266)
to Compositz (No. 280).

The preparators of the Department of Biology were kept: fully occu-
pied. The mounting of mammals for exhibition was practically
restricted to small specimens, and the taxidermic work in connection
with both mammals and birds consisted mainly in preserving the skins
of fresh specimens as they were received, in preparing and making
over old skins for the reserve series, and in the constant renovation
of specimens in both the reserve and exhibition series to prevent their
deterioration. In osteology some 30 skeletons of mammals and birds,
including a number of large forms, such as the bison, camel, and tiger,
were roughed out and a few skeletons were cleaned. <A still larger
work was the cleaning of mammal skulls, required for study in con-
nection with the skins. The total number so treated was about 7,000,
of which a large portion was from the collections of the Biological
Survey. The chief modeler overhauled the collection of fish casts
which has accumulated during the past twenty-five years, renovating
those required for exhibition, the remainder being made up into sets
for distribution to schools and colleges. He also prepared a number
of casts of large and interesting reptiles, and cleaned about 1,000
specimens of corals for study and exhibition purposes.

In the division of systematic and applied geology much was accom-
plished in bringing the reserve collections into better arrangement and
classification. Good progress is reported as to the segregation of
the record collections transferred from time to time by the U.S.
Geological Survey. This required the overhauling of the entire
series, including the cleaning of specimens and trays, the verification
of labels, the elimination of duplicates, the rearrangement of the
specimens in drawers, the preparation of lists and of catalog and
bibliographical cards. By the close of the year all of the material
from the surveys of the Pacific coast, the Great Basin and the Rocky
Mountain States (except some material from Montana, Arizona, and
New Mexico), and from Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Texas,
had been gone over, although the lists were not completed. The
specimens thus rearranged numbered about 15,800 and filled about
360 large standard drawers.

The purely petrographical material was stored in cases in the west-
south range, the balcony of the same range, and the mezzanine story
of the southwest pavilion. Nearly the entire duplicate series of this
division was also overhauled, and approximately 12,500 specimens,
accurately labeled, were made up into 225 sets for distribution to
schools and colleges. Many thin sections of rocks were cut for deter-
minative purposes, and numerous blocks and slabs of stone were
prepared for exhibition.

oe REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

In the section of invertebrate paleontology nearly 40,000 speci-
mens, representing 3,000 species and filling 172 standard drawers,
were labeled, cataloged, and systematically arranged. This material
belonged mainly to the Rominger collection of Paleozoic fossils from
the Mississippi Valley, the work upon which was completed, and to
the Ulrich collection, which will require at least another year’s atten-
tion. Types of several hundred species have been added to the section
since the publication of the type catalog in 1905.

Seven hundred specimens were identified and cataloged in the sec-
tion of vertebrate paleontology. About 200 specimens of the teeth
of Mesozoic mammals were mounted on corks inserted in glass vials
for their better preservation, and enlarged pencil drawings and wax
models of many minute forms were prepared. Much time was spent
in locating and identifying the type material of the earlier specialists
in this subject, such as Leidy, Cope, and Marsh. Excellent progress
was made by Mr. Gidley in classifying the reserve collection of fossil
mammals, the trays containing them being grouped by geological hor-
izons. The same may be said of the work of Mr. Gilmore upon the
reptilian forms. Some 636 trays of the Marsh collection, stored at
the Emery building, have been roughly classified and labeled, and sey-
eral hundred specimens of small reptiles have been unwrapped in order
to make them accessible for study. In the matter of preparing large
specimens for exhibition, which requires much time and skill, the fol-
lowing were worked out and mounted: A complete skeleton of J/ery-
cotdodon gracilis, a skull of Triceratops calicornis, a composite skele-
ton of a large Dinornis, and a cave bear. The skull of a Miocene
rhinoceros from the Marsh collection was prepared for mounting, and
the skeleton of a mastodon, exhibited at the Louisiana Purchase Expo-
sition, was renovated. All of the type and figured specimens in this
section have been assembled, properly marked, and labeled.

In paleobotany the general routine work in connection with the
collections occupied the entire time of Doctor Peale.

THE EXHIBITION COLLECTIONS.

Owing to lack of space it has not yet been possible to organize an
exhibition series illustrative of the subject of physical anthropology,
although there is much material on hand suitable for that purpose.
A number of plaster busts of American Indians comprizes the entire
display at present.

Many changes and improvements were made in the exhibition col-
lections of ethnology. All of the wall cases on the floor of the west
hall were rearranged, and the Siamese collection obtained at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition was newly installed. The latter con-
sists of art objects and selections from the textile and agricultural
exhibits. The Roumanian peasant group, for which the costumes

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 33

were obtained from Baron Lajos Ambrozy de Sedan, of Temesvar,
Hungary, was completed and installed in a large case in the same hall. .
In the gallery of the northwest court the Patagonian, British Guiana,
and Costa Rican objects were rearranged, and the figure cases prepared
in the same manner as in other halls. Through the completion of the
fire wall in this court the hanging of the collection of South American
oil paintings of Indian subjects and the final disposition of baskets
and decorative objects became possible.

The extensive repairs in the hall of prehistoric archeology, the large
upper room in the Smithsonian building, were completed in 1905, and
advantage was taken of the opportunity to entirely reorganize the
important collections of this division. It was found necessary to tem-
porarily screen off one end of the room for storage and laboratory
purposes, but the exhibition series was opened to the public on Janu-
ary 22, 1906. The work of revision was slow and laborious, the cases
and their contents having first to be thoroughly cleaned. The floor
cases were rearranged and some new ones added, and many of the less
important specimens were transferred to storage, to make room for
recent accessions of greater interest to the public. The hall is now in
a much more attractive and satisfactory condition than ever before.
Among the noteworthy features which supplement the older collec-
tions are engraved stone plates, discoidal stones, bird-shaped and boat-
shaped amulets, banner stones, and a series of both chipped and
polished stone objects of the rarer types; a number of ancient Peru-
vian textiles belonging to the Pope collection; casts of rare Mexican
antiquities, such as drums, knives, jade carvings, and images in clay
and stone; the Seton-Karr collection of chipped flint implements from
the Fayum district of Egypt, and the Harris collection of archeologi-
cal objects from Ohio and Missouri. Casts of the Abadiano collection
of important Mexican sculptures and casts of carved stone yokes,
** Palmas” stones, bas-reliefs, etc., from Mexico; the Brigham collec-
tion of ancient burial pottery, including two very large vases from
the island of Marajo, Brazil; and parts of the West Indian collections
of Latimer, Gabb, and Fewkes, comprizing stone collars, zemes, masks,
hatchets, pestles, beads, and objects of clay, bone, and shell, have
been installed in six especially large cases which occupy the center of
the hall. A number of originals and casts of large Mexicanand Peru-
vian bas-reliefs have been hung on the western wall.

The series of casts illustrating the history of classical sculpture has,
from lack of better accommodations, been assembled temporarily in
the court devoted to the graphic arts, which has thereby become
unduly crowded to the disadvantage of both subjects. The pieces,
145 in number, are displayed in large center cases and on pedestals,
walls, and screens.

34 | REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

In technology the collection of arms deposited by the United States
Cartridge Company, elsewhere described, has added a most interest-
ing and popular feature. Being accompanied by handsome mahogany
cases built expressly for the purpose, its installation was readily
accomplished. Small additions have also been made to other exhibi-
tion series in this division, which is being developed along certain lines
as rapidly as possible under the present unfavorable conditions.

The gallery of ceramics received a few additions, notably the exhi-
bition of the Libby Glass Company, illustrating the manufacture of
cut glass. There is nothing special to note in regard to the exhibits
in graphic arts and medicine, except in the matter of labeling, since
the space assigned to these divisions is now fully occupied.

A selection from collections in storage illustrating the principal
phases of the doctrines and rites of the western (Roman Catholic) and
eastern (Greek Catholic and Armenian) churches was installed. The
historical collection received some important objects, and a series of
American coins and medals and of Japanese coins, made up from the
Capron purchase and a gift from the Government of Japan, were
placed on exhibition.

In the Department of Biology the several large mammals mounted
for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and subsequently shown at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition, were, after their return to Washing-
ton, arranged in the gallery of the south hall, the only place that could
be found for them. Although these and the other large mammals from
the St. Louis Exposition are among the most valuable additions which
have been made to this exhibition series for some time, it has not been
practicable to inclose them under glass. A number of other mammals
of small to medium size, chiefly from the oriental region, were mounted
and installed during the year, and the heads of large game on the wall
space above the gallery were renovated and rearranged.

The large series of cases in the Smithsonian main hall containing
North American birds were thoroughly cleansed inside. The speci-
mens themselves were also cleaned and put in order. Some progress
was made in substituting the new pattern of label holder, adopted the
year before, and new labels were printed for the birds of Australia
and neighboring regions. The fine exhibition collection of birds can,
however, never be shown effectively in the antiquated cases which it
now occupies.

Skeletons of a large sulphurbottom whale (of the same species as
the cast in the south hall), of an adult little piked whale, of a dodo,
and of an African elephant, were added to the osteological series,
which was almost entirely relabeled. The cutting off, for storage of
the Schaus collection of Lepidoptera, of a part of the exhibition hall
devoted to reptiles and fishes, necessitated an entire rearrangement of

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 35

these collections, to which were also added the fine casts from the St.
Louis Exposition.

Some progress was made toward completing the exhibit of insects,
and a case of bryozoans was installed in’ the hall of marine inverte-
brates. A notable addition to the Children’s Room was a copy of the
old Dutch painting of the dodo, the original of which is in the British
Museum.

As a new departure, a special case was brought into use for the
display of miscellaneous newly acquired objects haying a general pop-
ular interest, preparatory to their being installed in their proper places
in the various permanent exhibition series. In this case were also
placed some small groups of specimens of current interest, such as the
cotton-boll weevil and the ‘‘culep,” or Guatemalan ant, and mosqui-
toes which transmit malarial fever, yellow fever, etc. The smaller
specimens were mounted in anew form of glass cell devised by the
chief of exhibits.

Comparatively few changes were made in the exhibition collections
of the Department of Geology. A large mass of diatomaceous earth
was added to the economic series; two cases of minerals and one of
hot spring tubes, returned from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
were installed in the west-south range, and the paper casts of the large
Bacubirito and Cape York meteorites were placed on one of the gal-
leries facing the rotunda. The exhibit of fossil vertebrates, which
occupies the southeast court, was extensively overhauled and rear-
ranged, and there were added to it a skull of Zréceratops calicornis, a
complete skeleton of the small oreodont, Merycotdodon gracilis,
skeletons of a small mastodon from Michigan, and a large Dinornis
from New Zealand, and the remains of a cave bear from France. In
the gallery of the southeast court a screen was built against the east
side for the exhibition of ammonites and other large fossil inverte-
brates, and a beginning was made toward rearranging the fossil plants.

RESEARCHES.

The most important researches carried on in the Department of
Anthropology were those made in connection with the preparation of
articles for the ‘‘ Handbook of the Indians,” now in course of pub-
lication by the Bureau of American Ethnology. This work, far from
being restricted to information in hand, has been extensively based on
special studies, involving the critical examination of practically all of
the Museum collections which relate to the subject. The results, more-
over, have been of service not solely in the compilation of the ‘* Hand-
book,” but have brought about a more thorough knowledge of the
collections and a more complete and accurate labeling of many speci-
mens. The task has been one of great magnitude, extending through

36 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

several years, and the outcome has fully justified the time spent upon
it. The investigations on the part of the Museum have been conducted
by Mr. W. H. Holmes in prehistoric archeology, by Professor Mason
and Doctor Hough in ethnology, and by Doctor Hrdli¢ka in physical
anthropology.

Doctor Hrdlicka continued his inquiries relative to the effects of
preservatives on specimens of the brain, the weight of the brain in
correlation with the weight of the body, the proportions of the cranial
fosse, and the growth, physiology, and pathology of certain tribes of
Indians. He also completed a study of 26 orang crania from Borneo.
A number of visiting Indians were measured and facial casts of a few
of them were made.

The large Malaysian collection of ethnology from Dr. W. L. Abbott
was the subject of investigation by Professor Mason and Doctor
Hough, who have in preparation an illustrated descriptive catalog
of its interesting specimens. The extensive ethnological material
from the Museum-Gates expedition of 1905 is being worked up by
Doctor Hough, whose report is well advanced. The latter has also
commenced the writing of a bulletin on the distribution of the ancient
Indian ruins of the Gila-Salt River region in the Territories of Arizona
and New Mexico. The principal investigations in prehistoric archeol-
ogy were conducted by Mr. Holmes and had reference mainly to the
‘* Handbook” above mentioned. The condition and knowledge of the
collections in this division were greatly advanced by his thorough and
comprehensive researches.

Mr. Maynard, assistant curator of technology, has completed a care-
ful study of the Museum records bearing upon the subject of marine
architecture, especially as illustrated by the many models received
from the Bureau of Fisheries and other sources. Under authority
from the officials of the Departments of War and of the Treasury, an
examination of the records relating to the manufacture of arms for
the United States Army and United States Navy is also in progress.

Besides the investigations by members of the Museum staff, the
collections in anthropology have been extensively consulted by experts
from different parts of the country and from abroad, and in greater
or less degree have been utilized in many important researches.

A considerable part of the East Indian collections of mammals
recently received from Dr. W. L. Abbott was worked up during
the year, those from Engano and Karimata islands and the Rhio
Archipelago by Mr. Gerritt S. Miller, jr., and those from Banka and
Billiton islands by Dr. W. M. Lyon, jr. A number of special contri-
butions, based wholly or mainly upon this material, were published,
the more noteworthy being as follows: By Mr. Miller, on Malayan
pigs and new forms of bats, on the monkeys allied to Macaca nemis-
trina, and on two new civets; by Doctor Lyon, on the pygmy squirrels,

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 37

and a revision of the slow lemurs; by Mr. Knud Andersen, of the
British Museum, on the bats of the genus 2Ainolophus.

The Museum collection of bats, which is very extensive and diver-
sified, has received a great amount of attention. Mr. Miller, who has
been making a careful study of the entire order Chiroptera, extending
over several years, recently brought to conclusion a revision of the
families and genera in a manuscript of 583 pages. He also published
several papers on nomenclature and new genera. Mr. W. L. Hahn,
aid, is working up the genus //emzderma, as represented in the Museum,
and contributed two short papers on bats. Mr. Andersen completed
and published several papers on the genera PAinolophus and Hippo-
sideros, based partly on the collections here.

Dr. F. W. True prepared a full description of the new fossil sea
lion from Oregon, Pontoleon magnus, for publication by the U.S.
Geological Survey, and also published a description of a new fossil
seal from the Miocene of Maryland. In addition, he prepared an
account of the fossil cetacean known as Agorophius for publication
by the Smithsonian Institution, and continued work on the ziphioid
whales and on a new scheme of biological exhibits.

Doctor Lyon spent some time in bringing up to date a catalog of
the type specimens of mammals in the Museum collection; he also
published a note on Prolagus, a genus of rabbits, and discovered that
the great ant-eater of Central America represents a new species, which
he described from a Museum specimen. Among those who made use
of the mammal collection in connection with their investigations were
Dr. J. A. Allen, of the American Museum of Natural History; Dr.
D. G. Elliot, of the Field Museum of Natural History, and the mem-
bers of the staff of the Biological Survey.

Mr. Robert Ridgway, curator of birds, completed the revision of
six families of North American birds for his comprehensive work now
in course of publication; described 18 new genera and 3 new species
of birds, and made other contributions on the subject of ornithology.
Dr. C. W. Richmond, assistant curator, added 3,000 cards to the cata-
log of genera and species of birds, spending some time at the Phila-
delphia Academy of Sciences for the purpose of consulting publications
not to be found in Washington. He also continued his work on the
catalog of type localities of North American birds. The birds col-
lected in Sumatra and Borneo by Doctor Abbott were placed in the
hands of Mr. H. C. Oberholser, of the Biological Survey, for study.
Mr. J. H. Riley, aid in the division of birds, besides assisting Mr.
Ridgway with his manual, described 3 new Venezuelan species and
a new ground dove from Porto Rico. The collection of birds was
consulted by members of the Biological Survey, the committee on
nomenclature of the American Ornithologists’ Union, and Mr. Outram
Bangs, of Boston. Several papers based partly on this collection by

B8 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

ornithologists not connected with the Museum were published, as
follows: On the Ruff in Indiana, by Mr. R. Deane; on gulls of the
genus Larus, by Dr. J. Dwight, jr.; on variation in the hairy wood-
peckers, by Mr. H. O. Jenkins; on petrels, by Mr. W. O. Emerson;
on certain California birds, by Dr. L. B. Bishop, and on the Pacific
night hawk, by Mr. J. Grinnell.

Dr. Leonhard Stejneger, curator of reptiles and batrachians, com-
pleted a large work on the herpetology of Japan, which has occupied
his attention for several years, and a report on the reptiles collected
in Patagonia by the late Prof. J. B. Hatcher; he has begun upon a
revision of the North American salamanders, and researches relative
to the reptile fauna of the Philippines, for which material is being
assembled. He also described several new species. The lizards and
snakes of Texas were studied by Mr. Vernon Bailey of the Biological
Survey; the chameleons by Mr. Th. Barbour; the garter snakes by
Mr. A. G. Ruthven; the sea turtles by Mr. R. E. Coker, and the
tailless batrachians by Miss M. C. Dickerson.

Twenty-four papers on fishes, by members of the staff and others,
based wholly or in part on Museum collections, were issued or in course
of preparation during the year. Seven of these were on Japanese
fishes, including the sand lances, thread fishes, giant bass, and stur-
geons, by Dr. David Starr Jordan, in collaboration with Mr. R. C.
McGreggor, Mr. J. O. Snyder, and Mr. A. Seale. In conjunction
with the two latter Doctor Jordan also contributed a paper on fishes
from the Negros Islands, Philippines, a list of the fishes collected at
Shanghai and Hongkong in 1882-83 by Mr. Pierre L. Jouy, and a
list of fishes collected at Tahiti by Mr. H. P. Bowie.

Dr. B. W. Evermann, curator of fishes, conjointly with Mr. Seale,
Mr. W. H. Kendall, and Mr. H. W. Clark, described the fishes collected
at the Philippines by Doctor Mearns and those from the same islands
exhibited at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. He also reported on
collections of fishes obtained in Argentina by Mr. J. W. Titcomb, and
in Santo Domingo by Mr. A. Buseck. Prof. C. H. Eigenmann, of Indiana
University, and Mr. Barton A. Bean, assistant curator of fishes, com-
pleted a paper on the specimens brought from the Amazon River a few
years ago by Prof. J. B. Steere, and have begun upon a list and bibli-
ography of all the species known to occur in the same region. Mr.
Bean and Mr. McKnew spent some time in a study of the Florida
fishes contained in the collection.

Prof. C. H. Gilbert, of Stanford University, spent about two months
at the Museum investigating the general collection and reexamining
the type specimens of deep-sea fishes obtained in the Pacific Ocean by
the Fisheries steamer Albatross. Notes by him and Mr. J.C. Thomp-
son on the fishes of Puget Sound were published. Dr. T. N. Gill,
associate in biology, contributed papers on the carp and cyprinoid

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 39

fishes and on the life history of sea horses; Mr. E. C. Starkes, a list
of fishes obtained in Ecuador and Peru by Mr. P. O. Simons, and Mr.
E. W. Gudger, an account of the breeding habits and embryology of
the pipe fishes. The ichthyologists of the Bureau of Fisheries made
frequent use of the collections as heretofore.

Dr. W. H, Dall, curator of mollusks, completed a report on the land
and fresh-water shells collected by the Harriman expedition to Alaska,
and several shorter papers on land shells, on Chzton, Callistoma, Crep-
tdula, and Vitrina, and on questions of nomenclature. Work on
his revision of the Volutidz was continued. In cooperation with Dr.
Paul Bartsch, assistant curator, he prepared an extensive series of
notes on Japanese, Indo-Pacific, and American species of the family
Pyramidellide. Doctor Bartsch has nearly completed his monograph
of the same family, and published two short papers on fresh-water
shells. Some progress was also made in working up the mollusks col-
lected at the Hawaiian Islands by the Bureau of Fisheries.

Thirty-three systematic and faunal papers and many articles on
types of economic interest were prepared by the staff of the division
of insects and others who worked in the laboratory. A new genus of
Encyrtide from China was described by the curator, Dr. L. O. Howard,
who was also the author of a number of economic papers. Among
the contributions by Dr. W. H. Ashmead were an outline of a new
arrangement of the families and genera of ants, a new classification
of the ants of the family Poneride and of the Driver ants, descriptions
of a large number of new genera and species of Hymenoptera from
the Philippines and Japan, and of two new Mymaridee from Russian
Turkestan. He also completed papers on Hymenoptera from the
Galapagos Islands, and on Proctotrypidee, Cynipoidea, and Bethytidee
from continental South America, and continued his studies on the
Braconide.

Mr. D. W. Coquillet, custodian, submitted a new classification of
the mosquitoes (Cuculide) of North and Central America, and descrip-
tions of 3 new genera and 15 new species of this family from the West
Indies and Central America. A revision of the Hemerobiide of the
United States and descriptions of many new genera and species of
neuropterous insects and of American spiders and mites were pre-
pared by Mr. Nathan Banks, custodian. Mr. J. A. G. Rehn, of
Philadelphia, contributed to the Proceedings descriptions of new
species of earwigs, of South American grasshoppers, and of several
other groups of orthopterous insects from Costa Rica. Mr. F. H.
Chittenden, of the Bureau of Entomology, described 13 new species
of Sphenophorus, and Mr. Otto Heidemann, of the same Bureau, a
new genus and two new species of Rhyngota. Mr. R. H. Johnson,
of the Carnegie Institution, studied the specimens of Zippodamia and
other Coccinellidee, in preparation for a treatise on variation of color

in beetles. The Eumenide were examined by the Rev. F. W. X.
O’Brien, S. J., who contemplates writing a synopsis of the North
American species.

The investigations conducted, in connection with the division of
marine invertebrates were extensive and important. The soundings
made by the U. 8. 8S. Vero during the survey for a trans-Pacific cable,
rich in specimens of foraminifera, were examined and reported on by
Dr. James M. Flint, U. S. Navy, curator of medicine, in ‘‘A Contribu-
tion to the Oceanography of the Pacific,” constituting Bulletin No. 55
of the Museum. Dr. James E. Benedict, assistant curator of marine
invertebrates, studied the anomuran crabs from Hawaii and Japan,
and, in cooperation with Dr. Harriet Richardson, made considerable
progress toward completing his work on the family Lithodidee,
including a revision of the genera. Miss M. J. Rathbun, also assist-
ant curator of the division, finished the second part of her monograph
on the fresh-water crabs of the world, which was published by the
Museum of Natural History, Paris, France. She reported on the
brachyuran and macruran crustaceans obtained during the Hawaiian
investigations of the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, began the working
up of the decapod crustaceans from several cruises of the steamer
Albatross in the tropical Pacific and of the general collection of grap-
soid crabs, and prepared a paper on certain New England crustaceans.
A monograph of the isopod crustaceans of North America by Dr. Har-
riet Richardson, collaborator, based chiefly on the Museum collection,
was published as Bulletin No. 54 of the Museum. It treats of 369
species, 12 of which, together with 9 genera, were new to science.
The same author also contributed a paper on the family Spheromide
and one descriptive of a new genus of Isopoda from the <Adbatross-
Agassiz Pacific expedition of 1904-5. Dr. 'T. W. Vaughan, custodian,
reported on the stony corals from the same cruise of the Adbatross
and from the explorations at the Hawaiian Islands by the Bureau of
Fisheries, and, in two papers, described several new species belonging
to the genera Hungia, Caenocyathus, and Astrangia.

Reports upon material collected in Hawaiian waters by the Bureau
of Fisheries were published during the year as follows: On the star-
fishes by Mr. W. K. Fisher, on the nemerteans by Prof. W. R. Coe,
on the annelids by Mr. A. L. Treadwell, on the hydroids by Prof. C. C.
Nutting, and on the medusze by Dr. A. G. Mayer. Descriptions of
the parasitic J/yzostoma taken from the crinoids collected on the Japan
coast by the same Bureau were published by Mr. J. F. McClendon,
who also examined the general collection of crinoids in the Museum
for additional specimens. The following papers based upon material
from <A/batross explorations in the tropical Pacific under the direction
of Dr. Alexander Agassiz, in addition to those mentioned above, were

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 4]

published by the Museum of Comparative Zoology, namely: On the
starfishes collected during the cruise of 1899-1900, by Dr. H. Ludwig;
on the pelagic tunicates from the same cruise, by Prof. W. E. Ritter
and Miss Edith S. Byxbee; and on a remarkable new genus of Cysto--
flagellata from the cruise of 1904-5, by Dr. Charles A. Kofoid.

In accordance with an arrangement between the Bureau of Fisher-
ies and Doctor Agassiz, the entire Museum collection of deep-water
sponges from the Pacific Ocean, mainly obtained in the course of
investigations by the steamer A/batross, were sent to Dr. R. yon Len-
denfeld and Dr. F. Urban, of Prague, Austria, for working up in con-
nection with other material from the Bureau of Fisheries and the
Museum of Comparative Zoology. Doctor Agassiz has generously
agreed to assume the expenses attendant upon the preparation and
publication of this extensive work, which will occupy several years.
The equally large and important collection of starfishes from the
North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea, but including the shore and shal-
low-water species as well as those from greater depths, was turned
over to Mr. W. K. Fisher, of Stanford University, for study and
report. To Dr. C. B. Wilson, of Westfield, Massachusetts, whose
reports on the Argulide and Caligine have already been published,
were sent the specimens belonging to the other groups of parasitic cope-
pod crustaceans. The Museum collection of barnacles is being studied
by Dr. H. A. Pilsbry, of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences; the
bryozoans from Bering Sea and other northern waters, by Dr. H.
Kluge, of the Museum fiir Naturkunde, Berlin; and the extensive
collection of foraminifera from the Pacific deep sea, by Mr. Joseph
A. Cushman, of the Boston Society of Natural History. The collec-
tion last mentioned, resulting chiefly from soundings and dredgings
by the steamer A/batross and cable surveys by the United States Navy,
is exceedingly rich and diversified.

Eleven contributions by the staff of the division of plants were
published during the year. Dr. J. N. Rose, associate curator, was
chiefly occupied in working up the Mexican plants, collected mainly
by himself in recent years. He prepared two papers on this material
in conjunction with Mr. J. H. Painter, and described certain umbellif-
erous plants from Georgia. In cooperation with Dr. N. L. Britton,
director of the New York Botanical Garden, he has begun upon a
monograph of the cactus group. Capt. John Donnell Smith, associate
in botany, described 23 new Central American species, and identified
several hundred Guatemalan plants in the Herbarium, with the assist-
ance of Baron von Piirckheim. He also completed for the press the
eighth part of his enumeration of the plants of Guatemala. Mr. W. R.
Maxon, assistant curator, prepared six papers on ferns, in which were
described new species from Mexico, Guatemala, Porto Rico, and

42 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

Alabama; and a collection of yellow water lilies, assembled by Mr. G. S.
Miller, jr., was made the subject of investigations by Mr. Painter,
aid in the division. Prof. E. L. Morris, of the Washington Central
High School, continued his studies on the genus P/lantago, and the
botanists of the Department of Agriculture made constant use of the
Herbarium.

Four meteorites from Modoc, Kansas; Coon Butte, Arizona; Hender-
sonville, North Carolina, and Selma, Alabama, were the subject of
study by Prof. George P. Merrill, head curator of geology, who com-
pleted descriptions of the two first mentioned. A contribution to the
History of American Geology, on which he had been engaged for
several years, was published in April as an appendix to the Annual
Report of the Museum for 1904. Mr. Wirt Tassin, assistant curator
of mineralogy, conducted investigations on meteorites in the collection
with special reference to establishing the relations between structure
and composition, which resulted in the discovery of a graphitic iron
not heretofore recognized as occurring in meteorites, and in confirming
the conclusion that much of the so-called chromite of meteorites is not
true chromite but rather a spinel. Forty-two analyses led to the
recognition of four minerals new to the collection.

Dr. R. S. Bassler, assistant curator of stratigraphic paleontology,
completed under the auspices of the U. S. Geological Survey, a paper
on the stratigraphy of the Valley of Virginia, with especial reference
to the cement resources of the region, and a monograph on the bryo-
zoan fauna of the Rochester shales. He has begun upon a study of
the Ordovician bryozoans of Russia.

Mr. Gidley, of the section of vertebrate paleontology, made a study
of tooth-cusp development in Mesozoic mammals, described a new
species of fossil raccoon and a new genus and species of musk-ox,
and finished his work on Miocene horses, begun at the American
Museum of Natural History. He has now in preparation a revision
of the Mesozoic mammals, based primarily upon the Museum collec-
tion. Mr. Gilmore, of the same section, described a recently mounted
skeleton of the oreodont, Menycoidodon gracilis, and commenced the
writing of a new description of the type specimens of J/orosaurus
agilis Marsh. He was also the author of several other papers relating
to the collection of fossil reptiles. Both Mr. Gilmore and Mr. Gidley
spent much time in revising the manuscript of a type catalog of the
fossil vertebrates in the collection of the Museum, which will soon be
ready for printing.

Extensive researches in paleobotany were carried on by Mr. David
White and Dr. F. H. Knowlton, of the U. S. Geological Survey, who
are also in charge of the Museum collection of fossil plants.

EXPLORATIONS.

The principal exploration of the year under the Department of
Anthropology was conducted by Doctor Hough, assistant curator of
ethnology, in conjunction with Mr. P. G. Gates, of Pasadena, Califor-
nia, through whose generosity the field expenses were paid, and was
a continuation of the work begun in 1901 under the same conditions.
The expedition started from Clifton, Arizona, on June 7, 1905, and
terminated at Gallup, New Mexico, about four months later, having
covered a large extent of country, touching upon the boundaries of
earlier surveys by Doctor Hough. The area examined lies south of
the great divide which sharply separates Arizona into two provinces,
and is especially interesting on account of the presence of numerous
cliff dwellings resembling those in the northern part of the Pueblo
sphere. It contains, like other sections, numerous pueblo sites, but
especially attractive are the ancient caves used for habitations and
ceremonial purposes. The object of the expedition was to ascertain
the nature of the peoples, their diffusion under varying conditions of
environment due to food supply, elevation, intrusion from other areas,
migrations, etc. With this view a study of the animal, vegetal, and
climatic environment was made and collections were secured from the
various sites for the purpose of comparative studies. Since the nat-
ural diffusion of population is along water courses, the work was mainly
confined to streams. Of these, the San Francisco with its branches,
the Blue, the Tulerosa, and the Apache were thoroughly investigated.
As the region had previously been untouched by scientific exploration,
the results of the expedition are very important. About 3,000 speci-
mens were obtained and shipped to Washington.

In February, 1906, under the auspices of the Bureau of American
Ethnology, Doctor Hrdlitka, assistant curator of physical anthro-
pology, in company with Dr. T. W. Vaughan, of the U.S. Geological
Survey, spent about two weeks at Osprey, Florida, for the purpose of
examining the localities where human fossil bones had been discovered,
and of ascertaining the local conditions favoring fossilization. Oste-
ological remains of Indians of more recent date were also obtained for
comparison with the fossil specimens. Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, of the
Bureau of Ethnology, made explorations in the Vera Cruz district of
Mexico, of which a report is in press. The valuable collection he
obtained is referred to in another place.

Of private expeditions from which collections have been received,
reference may be made to the work of Doctor Abbott in the islands of
Engano and Nias and along the northern branch of the Great Kapuas
River, in western Borneo; of Dr. E. A. Mearns, U. 5. Army, in con-
nection with military operations in the Philippines: and of Mr. A. H.

Blackiston among cliff dwellings in the Casas Grandes Valley and in
Cave Valley, Chihuahua, Mexico.

The most important exploration in the interest of the Department
of Biology was conducted by Dr. J. N. Rose, associate curator of
plants, who, with one assistant, was detailed for about three months
to continue his botanical investigations in Mexico, in cooperation with
the National Medical Institute of Mexico and the New York Botanical
Garden. The States of Mexico, Morelos, Guerrero, Hidalgg, Quere-
taro, Puebla, and Oaxaca were visited and large collections obtained,
including many living specimens of cacti.

Doctor True, head curator of biology, who is studying the fossil
cetaceans of the Atlantic coast region, coliected at the Calvert Cliffs
in Maryland, where several hundred specimens, mainly vertebrae, were
found, and also in the vicinity of Richmond and at Gay Head, Massa-
chusetts. While in charge of the Museum exhibit at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, Doctor Lyon made several trips, chiefly for procuring
small mammals, to places in the vicinity of Portland, Oregon, to Seaside
and Mount Hood, and to Mount Rainier, Washington. Mr. William
Palmer also collected mammals about Portland, and Mr. W. L. Hahn
was detailed for field work in Indiana. Doctor Stejneger engaged in
field-work for the Museum while in Europe during the summer of 1905,
and Doctor Ralph visited the Dismal Swamp, Virginia, and the Adiron-
dack region in New York, securing both mammals and reptiles. Mr.
Barton A. Bean accompanied Dr. B. W. Evermann to Florida, where
he obtained a large number of fishes mainly between Daytona and
Miami. Miss M. J. Rathbun was detailed to the Woods Hole Station
of the Bureau of Fisheries for a part of the summer of 1905.

Dr. A. M. Reese, of Syracuse University, while collecting material
in Florida for a study of the embryology of the alligator, under a
grant from the Smithsonian Institution, obtained a number of reptiles
for the Museum. The important field-work of Doctor Abbott in the
East Indies, and of Doctor Mearns in Guam and the Philippine Islands
has already been referred to.

The branches of the Government through the explorations of which
the collections in biology were especially enriched are the Bureau of
Fisheries, and the Bureau of Entomology, the Biological Survey, and
the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Department of Agriculture.

The only explorations carried on in connection with the Department
of Geology were conducted under the joint auspices of the Museum
and the U. 8S. Geological Survey by Doctor Bassler, who engaged in
stratigraphic field-work in the southern Appalachians during the early
part of July, 1905; in western Virginia during August and Septem-
ber, and in the Mississippi Valley during June, 1906. These investi-
gations resulted in the acquisition of a large amount of desirable
material for the Museum collection,

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 45
DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS.

Over 30,000 duplicate specimens, recently separated from the
reserve collections, and consisting mainly of marine invertebrates,
fishes, rocks, ores, and minerals, accurately named and labeled, were
made up into several hundred sets for distribution to educational
establishments. The number of sets actually sent out during the year
was 261, including fossils, as well as the groups above mentioned;
these comprised about 20,000 specimens.

There were lent to specialists elsewhere for study, including those
who are conducting investigations for the Museum, as noted under
the heading of researches, about 20,000 specimens; and upward of
17,500 duplicate specimens were utilized in making exchanges with
other institutions and with individuals. The most noteworthy object
disposed of in exchange was the full-sized restoration of the skeleton
of the Dinosaurian reptile, Zréceratops, exhibited at both the Pan-
American and Louisiana Purchase expositions, which was sent to the
British Museum of Natural History. Reproductions of some of the
rarer objects in archeology have also proved to be a valuable medium
of exchange. The institutions abroad from which, through exchange
relations, important material was received were as follows:

The British Museum of Natural History, London; the Royal Botanic
Gardens, Kew, England; the Museum of Natural History, Paris; the
University Zoological Museum, Copenhagen; the Geographisches
Schul-Museum, Seitenstetten, Lower Austria; the University of Gét-
tingen, Germany; the Zoological Museum of the Imperial Academy of
Sciences, St. Petersburg; the Zoological Museum, Christiania, Nor-
way; the University of Upsala, Sweden; the Musée Cantonal, Fri-
bourg, Switzerland; the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, Genoa,
Italy; the Royal Botanic Garden, Sibpur, near Calcutta, India; the
University of Sydney, New South Wales; the Sarawak Museum,
Borneo: the Instituto Medico Nacional, City of Mexico; the Instituto
Fisico-Geografico, San José, Costa Rica; the Hope Gardens, Kings-
ton, Jamaica; the Geological Survey of Canada; the Estacion Central
Agronomica, Santiago de las Vegas, Cuba.

The following individuals abroad have also sent valuable specimens
in exchange: Mr. J. Stanley Gardiner, Mr. Edward Lovett, the Rev.
Canon A. M. Norman, and Mr. H. W. Parritt, of England; Mr. F.
Canu, Mr. Jean Miguel, and Mr. J. Vaquez, of France; Mr. Ph. Ober-

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 47

CORRESPONDENCE.

The work of the office of correspondence has been kept well in hand,
notwithstanding the increased demands made upon the oflice, which
not only has to do with the receipt and answering of letters in gen-
eral but is also charged with the distribution of the Museum publica-
tions. Of the 8 volumes and 80 separate papers issued during the
year, about 24,000 copies of the former and 34,000 of the latter were
supplied to the scientific establishments, libraries, and individuals
entered on the permanent mailing list. About 14,000 publications
were sent out in response to special request, and some 34,000 copies
were distributed in sets to many scientific and educational institutions
in different parts of the country.

PUBLICATIONS AND PRINTING.

Eight volumes of publications were issued during the year, though
the composition and printing of a part of them was begun in 1905,
These volumes were as follows: The Annual Report for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1904, containing, besides the administrative part,
three scientific papers entitled ‘* Contributions to the History of
American Geology,” by George P. Merrill, *‘ The 8. S. Howland Collec-
tion of Buddhist religious art in the National Museum,” by Immanuel
M. Casanowicz, and ‘* Flint Implements of the Fayum, Egypt,” by
Heywood Walter Seton-Karr; volumes 28, 29, and 30 of the Proceed-
ings of the Museum, comprising 97 descriptive papers, 25 of which
were issued in separate form before the beginning of the year; Part I
of Bulletin 53, entitled ‘*‘ Catalogue of the type specimens of fossil
invertebrates in the department of geology, United States National
Museum,” by Charles Schuchert, assisted by W. H. Dall, T. W.
Stanton, and R. 8. Bassler; Bulletin 54, ‘‘ A Monograph on the Iso-
pods of North America,” by Harriet Richardson; Bulletin 55, ‘‘A
Contribution to the Oceanography of the Pacific,” by James M. Flint;
Part 5 of Bulletin 39, entitled ** Directions for collecting information
and objects illustrating the history of medicine,” by James M. Flint;
and Part 1 of Volume X of the Contributions from the National Her-
barium, entitled ‘*‘ North American Species of Festuca,” by Charles VY.
Piper.

Of the papers contained in the Proceedings and the Annual Report,
separates in editions of 600 to 1,000 were printed for supplying special-
ists, whereby the distribution of the publications was greatly extended.
These separates together with the bulletins related to 81 subjects as
follows: Administration, 1; physical anthropology, 1; archeology, 1;
historic religions, 1; medicine, 1; mammals, 5; birds, 3; reptiles and

48 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

batrachians, 4; fishes, 16; insects, 21; crustaceans, 2; mollusks, 3; hel-
minthology, 1; corals, 2; plants, 4; geology, 1; fossils, 13; oceanog-
raphy, 1.

The regular distribution of the publications of the year consisted of
23,670 volumes and 33,600 separates, while the special distribution,
resulting from requests received from time to time and from the effort
to place the publications among scientific establishments where they
will do the most good, amounted to about 48,000 volumes and sepa-
rates from the issues of this and former years.

Besides the printing of the publications the editor has charge of all
the other printing for the Museum, including the several forms of
labels employed in connection with the exhibition collections, those
for the specimens, for the shelves and for the cases.

LIBRARY.

The library was exceptionally fortunate the past year in the matter
of valuable donations. Perhaps the one of greatest general interest
was a copy of the magnificent publication in-two volumes, entitled
‘* Investigations and Studies in Jade,” profusely illustrated by Ameri-
can, European, and Chinese artists, and presented by the estate of the
late Heber R. Bishop, whose large collection of jade and other hard
stones was denoted to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The material for this imposing work was prepared under the direc-
tion of Mr. Bishop at great cost, but its publication was left to his
executors. The number of copies was limited to one hundred, to be
distributed to members of his family, heads of governments, and the
principal libraries and museums in this and other countries. .

Prof. Lester F. Ward, of the U. S. Geological Survey, and for
many years connected with the Museum, presented his collection
of botanical and paleobotanical books, memoirs, and pamphlets.
Mr. Robert Ridgway, curator of birds, contributed a large number of
natural history papers, and Dr. C. W. Richmond, assistant curator of
birds, over a hundred valuable works relating to the same subject and
to travel. Prof. O. T. Mason and Dr. C. A. White have continued
to add to their donations of some years ago, and many valuable pub-
lications have reached the library in this way.

The library now contains 27,726 volumes, 44,075 unbound papers,
and 108 manuscripts, the additions during the year having comprised
3,556 books, 5,327 pamphlets, and 105 parts of volumes. There were
catalogued 1,848 books, 4,864 pamphlets, and 12,228 parts of period-
icals, and 290 books were bound.

The number of books, periodicals, and pamphlets borrowed from
the general library amounted to 28,924, including 19,354 which were
assigned to the sectional libraries,

Administration. Geology. Parasites.
Administrative Assistant. History. Photography.
Anthropology. Insects. Physical Anthropology.
Biology. Mammals. Prehistoric archeology.
Birds. Marine Invertebrates. Reptiles.
Botany. Materia Medica. Stratigraphic Paleontology.
Children’s Room. Mesozoic Fossils. Superintendent.
Comparative Anatomy. Mineralogy. Taxidermy.
Editor. Mollusks. Technology.

PHOTOGRAPHY.

In the photographic laboratory, which is well equipped for the pur-
pose, there were made 1,681 negatives, 3,820 silver prints, 465 platinum
prints, 514 velox prints, 1,903 cyanotypes, and 56 bromide prints.
These photographs were almost exclusively of objects in the collec-
tions for use in illustrating scientific reports or in perfecting the
records and catalogs. Some, however, related to structural details of
the buildings, to articles of furniture, and to other general museum
subjects. The chief photographer, Mr. T. W. Smillie, also continued,
as in previous years, to conduct the examinations in photography for
the U. S. Civil Service Commission.

EXPOSITIONS.
LEWIS AND CLARK CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION, PORTLAND, OREGON.

From the appropriation of $200,000 made by Congress for a Goy-
ernment exhibit at this exposition, which was held from June 1 to
October 15, 1905, the sum of $12,658 was allotted to the Smithsonian
Institution and National Museum, which were represented on the
Government Board by Dr. F. W. True, Dr. M. W. Lyon, jr., being

-detailed as chief special agent. The collections taken to Portland
were mainly selections from the exhibit made at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, but with only about one-third the space the display was
naturally very much smaller. Among the new objects shown were
photographic enlargements of geological subjects and of animals at
the National Zoological. Park; framed plates from Audubon’s great
work on birds;:a nearly complete skeleton of the extinct Dodo; a
facsimile of a painting of the living Dodo from a copy in the British
Museum, and the skeleton of a little piked whale.

JAMESTOWN TERCENTENNIAL EXPOSITION.

In the sundry civil act approved June 30, 1906, the sum of $200,000
was appropriated to enable the United States Government, including

50 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1906.

the Smithsonian Institution and the National Museum, to be repre-
sented at the Jamestown Tercentennial Exposition, which will be held
during the summer cf 1907. The buildings were provided for ina
Separate grant of $350,000.

ORGANIZATION AND STAFF.

There were few changes in the scientific staff during the year. Mr.
EK. P. Upham, who has served for many years in the division of pre-
historic archeology under the title of clerk, was advanced to the rank
of aid. Dr. M. W. Lyon, jr., was promoted from the grade of aid to
that of assistant curator in the division of mammals, while Mr. Gerrit
S. Miller, jr., also assistant curator in the same division, was granted
a year’s leave of absence to enable him to carry on certain investiga-
tions abroad for the British Museum of Natural History.

Dr. Paul Bartsch was promoted from aid to assistant curator in the
division of mollusks. Mr. Le Roy Abrams was appointed assistant
curator in the division of plants; Mr. A. N. Caudell, of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, custodian of orthoptera in the division of insects,
and Mr. Lawrence La Forge, of the Geological Survey, aid in the
division of physical and chemical geology.

After a section (1) on the characteristics of
the family of Hippocampids and the genus
Hippocampus, the habits of the sea-horses are
considered in paragraphs relating to (2) their
attitudes and movements, (4) their food, and
(5) the sexual relations and manner of trans-
fer of eggs from female to pouch of male. In
concluding paragraphs, (6) the specific char-
acters of four species are illustrated, and (7)
some foreign relations of the subfamily of
solegnathines noticed.

After introductory remarks follow discus-
sions of relations to the cyprinids, character-
istics of the cyprinids, especially those of the
pharyngeal bonesand teeth, distribution, and
sexual differentiation. The ‘‘life history of
the carp’’ is then considered (pp. 202-210),
and this is followed by notices of other note-
worthy cyprinids of Europe whose names
have been perverted in other parts of the
world to very different fishes. In addition to
the four families recognized by the author in
1861 a new one (Gyrinochilidz) is proposed
(p. 196) for a remarkable generic type from
Borneo (Gyrinochilus).

After preliminay remarks on flight in gen-

categories:

I. The exoccetoid flying fishes (497-508)
are treated of with respect to (1) their adap-
tation for flight and the actual or alleged
facts, (2) their food, (8) their procreation, (4)
their enemies, (5) their economical value,
and (6) the major differences among them-
selves.

Il. The Dactylopterids, or flying gur-
nards (508-515), are likewise discussed with
respect to (1) their characteristics and flight,
(2) their food, (3) the sounds they utter, (4)
their later developmental stages, and (5) their
capture.

urocoptid, and details of its anatomy fur-
nished by Dr. H. A. Pilsbry are described and
figured. The following species are figured
and described as new: Hendersonia palmeri,
Xanthonyx potosiana, Strepbostyla potosiana,
S. palmeri, Schazicheila palmeri, and Spherium

This volume forms a manual of land and
fresh-water shells of North America north of
latitude 49° N. Statistics are given with
geographical tables; the relations with the
Asiatic, Californian, and Canadian faunas are
discussed. Thespecies are enumerated under
a revised nomenclature, many of them are
illustrated and some new ones described. The
nomenclature of the genera of fresh-water
gastropods is revised at length and the groups
they contain diagnosed. The volume closes
with a bibliography of works relating to the
mollusk fauna of the region referred to. The.
following names are proposed as new: Cyclo-
limnxa, Lymnxa anticostiana, L. perpolita, L.
petersi, L. preblei, Paraspira, Pierosoma, Oreo-
helix stantoni, Planorbis megas, P. rudentis,
Polygyra megasoma, Planorbula christyi, Tor-
quis, Succinea alaskana, Valvata pelicoidea, V.
nylanderi, Vitrina alaskana.

The types are in the national collection.

On a new Floridian Calliostoma.
Nautilus, X1x, No. 11, Mar., 1906, pp. 131,
132.

The species Calliostoma marionz is described
as new from the type in the National Mu-
seum. Itisshown that Eutrochus A. Adams,
and other names which have been given to
the umbilicate Calliostomas are, for various
reasons, unavailable and the name Leiotro-
chus Conrad, 1863, is resuscitated for them.
The type is unique.

Notes on some names in the Volu-

This is a revision of an important series of
chiefly Pacific Pyramidellide, partly belong-
ing to the National Museum and partly loaned
for study by the Kénigliche Zoologische Mu-
seum of Berlin, Germany. Ten plates of
magnified figures illustrate these difficult
little shells. Nisiturris, Babella, Egilina are
proposed as new subgenera. The following
species are described as new: Odostomia mau-
ritiana, O. meta, O. dux, O. lecta, O. exaratis-
sima, O. felix, O. lectissima, O. culta, O. limpida,
O. desimana, O. densecostata (Garrett), subsp.
upoluensis ; Pyramidella jacksonensis, P. japon-
ica, P. digitalis, P. lischkei, Turbonilla abseida,
T. approximata, T. acosmia, T. actopora, T.
infantula, T. laticingula, T. bella, T. (nisitur-
ris) crystallina; the following new names are
proposed for species of which the current
names are preoccupied: Turbonilla secura,
T. candidissima, T. aulica, T. (Babella) cexl-
atior, T. garrettiana; Odostomia martensi; Py-
ramidella moffati. P. dunkeri; and forty-one
species named by other authors are dis-
cussed and adequately described, many of
them, especially those of A. Adams, for the

first time properly described and figured.

Professional Paper U. S. Geol. Surv., No.
47, Series C, Systematic Geology and
Paleontology No. 76, 1906, pp. 1-264,
pls. I-LUI.

This paper consists of an introduction and
parts I and II.

Part I discusses the Tertiary and Pleisto-
cene formations of California, and presents a
post-Cretaceous geologic column and a corre-
lation table. The various formations recog-
nized are the Martinez and the Tejon in the
Eocene; the San Lorenzo in the Oligocene;
the Vaqueros sandstone; the Monterey shale
and the San Pablo formation in the Miocene;
the Purisima and the Merced in the Pliocene;
the San Pedroin the Pleistocene. Each of
these formations is treated thus: Type local-
ity, definition of the formation, localities,
Pecten fauna, and a list of fossils of whatever
class. Part 1 closes with a tabular presenta-
tion of the geologic range of the California
pectens, both recent and fossil, and from
recent time back through the Eocene, and a
summary showing the number of species and
varieties found in the Eocene, Oligocene, etc.,
the number restricted to each and the num-
ber found transitional from one formation
into its successor or successors. Part 11 con-
tains a synopsis and descriptions of subgenera
and species.

The following species and varieties are de-
seribed and figured as new:

From the Eocene: Pecten ( Chlamys) calkini,
landesi proavus.

From the Oligocene: Pecten (Pecten) sanc-
tecruzensis, P. (Chlamys) branneri, P. (Propea-
musium) clallamensis, waylandi.

From the Miocene: P. ( Pecten) carrizoensis,
keepi, P. (Patinopecten) oweni, P. (Chlamys)
hamlini, nutteri, sespeensis and var. hydei, P.

Baae, Rurus M.

(Lyropecten) bowersi, crassicardo Con., var.
hamiltoni, estrellanus Con., var. cataline, and
var. terminus, miguelensis, perrini, vaughani,
P. (Plagioctenium) andersoni, and var. barke-
rianus, cerrosensis Gabb, var. ? mendenhalli
eldridgei, neahensis, P. (Pseudamusium) lom-
picoensis, P. (Propeamusium) standfordensis,
P. (Amusium) lompoensis.

From the Pliocene: P. (Pecten) auburyi,
coalingaensis, lecontei, merriami, vogdesi, P.
(Patinopecten) healeyi, purisimaensis, turneri,
P. (Chlamys) bartschi, bellilamellatus, lawsoni,
washburnei, wattsi, and var. morani, P. (Lyro-
pecten) ashleyi, P. ( Plagiocteniwm) cooperi, P.
(Propeamusium) riversi.

From the Pleistocene: P. (Chlamys) latiau-
ritus Gabb, var. cerritensis, and var. delosi.

Recent: P. (Chlamys) hastatus Sby., var.
albidus Dall, P. (Pseudamusium) randolphi
Dall, var. tillamookensis.

The paper closes with a bibliography of
literature bearing directly or indirectly upon
the pectens of California.

This paper presents (1) an introduction
stating the necessity for a redescription of
these types, (2) a bibliography of the James
publications, (3) the laws of nomenclature
applicable to the species under discussion, (4)

Under the last heading the typesof the many
species of bryozoans described by Messrs.
U. P. and J. F. James as corals, bryozoans, or
sponges, are discussed under 73 headings and
are illustrated on 7 plates.

In the discussion of Ordovician strata the
following new divisions are proposed: One
group, Covington, three formations, Brom-
ley, Fairview, and McMillan, and three mem-
bers, Economy, Southgate, and McMicken.

The specimens described by Mr. Knowlton
are contained in the Museum collections,
having been transferred from the U. 8. Geo-
logical Survey. The paper enumerates and
describes 28 forms, 16 of which arenew and 5
not specifically described. From his review
of these forms he states that the flora of the
Judith River beds, so far as now known,
shows very little affinity with the true Lara-
mie or with the Fort Union, but that it does
exhibit an undoubted relationship with that
of the Dakota Group, or with the Cenomanian
and Senonian of the Old World; that is, with
the lower and middle portions of the Upper
Cretaceous.

Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., No. 53, pt. 1, Sept.

30, 1905, pp. 1-704.

This section of Bulletin 53 records the type
material of invertebrate fossils in the U.S.
National Museum. The introduction by
Charles Schuchert contains a general discus-
sion and classification of type specim2ns, with
descriptions of the various kinds of primary
and supplementary types and definitions of
new type terms. Typical specimens, types
of genera, marking of type material, and
other more general subjects are discussed.
The introduction closes with a list of the
literature on type terms.

In the catalogue proper the types are re-
corded under the names as originally de-
scribed. Subsequent descriptions of the same
species under different names are referred to
by cross references, while the present place-
ment of the listed type, if different from the
recorded reference, is likewise denoted.

23-33.

Describes the Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks
in a limited area lying between the Sierra
Blanca, El Paso County, Tex., and the Rio
Grande. The Jurassic rocks are those of the
Malone formation yielding the fauna de-
scribed by F. W. Cragin, and the Cretaceous
is mostly referable to the Comanche series,
though in fact somewhat different from the
usual facies.

The Morrison formation and its
relations with the Comanche series and
the Dakota formation.

Journ. Geology, X11, 1905, pp. 657-669.

It is shown that the Morrison formation,
long known as the Atlantosaurus beds, passes
beneath the marine beds of the Comanche
series in southwestern Colorado and adjacent
portionsof New Mexicoand Oklahoma. The
attenuated marginal deposits of the Coman-
che series in this region have often been
referred to the Dakota formation with which
they are intimately associated, although
there is some evidence of an unconformity
between them.

The specimens described in this work are
almost entirely in possession of the U.S. Na-

three parts: Part 1, The Triassic Flora (con-
tinued from the first paper in the 20th Ann,
Rept., U. S. Geol. Sury., 1900), devoted to the
older Mesozoie of Arizona; Part 11, The Ju-
tassic Flora (continued trom the first paper
in the Twentieth Annual Report of the U.S.
Geological Survey, 1900), which describes the
Jurassic flora of Douglas County, Oreg., and
other plant-bearing beds in the Jurassic and
Jurasso-Cretaceous transition beds from other
localities in Oregon and from Alaska, Califor-
nia, and Montana, including also the Jurassic
eycads from Wyoming and the Black Hills;
and Part 111, The Cretaceous Flora, which
includes the Lower Cretaceous flora of Queen
Charlotte Islands, and the floras of the Shasta,
Kootanie, Lakota, Trinity, and older Poto-
mac tormations. The latter is devoted to the
older Potomac (James River, Rappahannock,
Mount Vernon, and Aquia Creek beds) flora

conclusion is reached that the lower Potomac
has a flora that is essentially Wealden, and
also that the Wealden is Lower Cretaceous
