Ch ey Ly Died REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 1944-1945 To THE PRESIDENT OF HARVARD COLLEGE: Sir: In several ways this year has been a most momentous and per- plexing one for the Museum. A number of unexpected situations have arisen in connection with various financial aspects of the department, problems, however, which have led to my great satis- faction and enjoyment. For I have found that the Museum has two great and good and hitherto unknown friends. They are warmer, more kindly, and more sympathetic than I ever dreamed anyone might be. Mr. Conant has had to pass a large part of his time in Washington in connection with his Governmental activ- ities, tied up with the war effort. This has thrown the active day by day management of the University in the efficient hands of Mr. William H. Claflin, Jr., the Treasurer, and Dean Paul H. Buck. Both of these men have proved to be more than the shadows of great rocks in a weary land. They have indeed been the shadows and the rocks too. I owe them a word of sincere and heartfelt thanks before proceeding with my report. Mr. Nathan Banks has resigned after twenty-nine years of devoted service to the Museum. The magnificent collection which he brought to us when he came here from Washington has never been adequately acknowledged nor was he ever properly thanked at the time he gave it. The work which he has done here has ended in making our collection of the Neuropterous insects, in which he was especially interested, the most outstanding as- semblage representing this group possessed by any museum in the world. As a superlative research resource it stands as one of our most treasured possessions, one to be mentioned in the same breath as our collection of the Echini which is likewise a monu- ment to another great friend of the Museum, Mr. Alexander Agassiz. Mr. Banks has our deepest thanks and warm apprecia- tion for all he has done for the Museum. He leaves to Dr. Joseph 8 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ~ Bequaert, his successor, a charge which I feel quite sure he is well capable of meeting. This is no less than the maintenance of the present high standard of perfection of arrangement and pres- ervation of this great and ever-growing collection of insects. Speaking with Dr. Bequaert this very morning, a fact by chance flashed into my mind which I had not thought of for many years. I met Dr. R. P. Strong in August 1923 near the St. Botolph Club on Newbury Street. He was then organizing the Department of Tropical Medicine for the Harvard Medical School with funds provided by Dr. F. C. Shattuck. Strong said to me, ‘‘I need a first class medical entomologist.’’ I said, ‘‘ You ean get him in New York if you use the telegraph,’’ for I hap- pened to know that Dr. Bequaert was sailing on the Belgenland for Belgium the next day. Strong used the telegraph and the result was that Dr. Joseph Bequaert came at once to Boston and he has served Harvard University with great distinction in several capacities until finally he now becomes Head Curator of Recent Insects in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. If Strong had chanced to speak to me a day later everything would have been different. We played in great good luck. Owing to the fact that he has had to expend so much of his time in active teaching it has never been possible for Professor Perey E. Raymond to spend as much time in curatorial duties on our gigantic assemblage of invertebrate fossils as Professor Banks was able to do, but nevertheless the collection has grown steadily and its value has been greatly enhanced because it has served as the basis for so many of Professor Raymond’s dis- tinguished contributions to science. The evidence for the con- clusions which he reached will ever rest in the specimens which he studied, and thus they become precious documents indeed. This year I am going to do as I did last year. It is more eco- nomical and infinitely less troublous to the Staff if I make a single general report on the situation at the Museum on behalf of the whole group. Let me say first then that this year Dr. Henry B. Bigelow, Dr. Frank M. Carpenter, and myself received appointments to Professorships under the Alexander Agassiz Foundation. MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY 9 All our Staff in the armed services are safe and well. Dr. Darlington, who had a bad time with that crocodile in Guadal- canal, as I think everyone now knows, is entirely himself again, and during his period of recuperation spent in high New Guinea managed to make an ascent of Mt. Wilhelm, 15,400 feet, to the end that we have received from a most unusual and desirable locality a great collection of wonderful insects, three new lizards, one of a genus hitherto unknown from New Guinea, three new tree frogs, and possibly some others. Dr. White is still in Italy, but with plenty of points for return and will, we hope, be back soon. Dr. Fenner Chace continues his work in Washington and we hope that his release may not now be too long delayed. Lt. R. Tucker Abbott has been transferred from the Navy Air Forces to Research Medical Personnel, and is working in the Pacific on Schistosomiasis, a disease which is transmitted by parasites of which various mollusks are the hosts. While speaking of service men, I may say that the Navy which occupies all our spare space in the building, has been extremely friendly and cooperative since the very beginning of their first coming to the Museum and the deportment of the young men receiving instruction in our ee certainly leaves nothing to be desired. As usual the Department of Fishes has been benefited by the voluntary labors so generously bestowed by Mrs. Myvanwy Dick, who has made considerable progress with the relabelling and the general reorganization of the collection. She has been as- sisted by Mrs. Louise Kimball, who has examined and refilled when necessary the alcohol in all the jars, some 40,000 or more, and polished up the glassware of the entire collection. This is indeed a gigantic task. The monograph on the sharks of the Eastern North Atlantic by Professor Bigelow and Mr. Schroeder has gone to press and its fellow monograph on the skates is well advaneed. In this latter group there are many new species to be described as the result of the activities of the Atlantis in the deep waters about the Cuban coast. Mr. Loveridge reports the welcome news that Mr. Benjamin a I 10 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Shreve, after two and a half years in the Army, has returned to work owing to a medical discharge. Members of the armed forces in the southwest Pacific have contributed the best part of the 700 specimens received during the year, and the 52 forms received new to the Museum bring the total of named reptiles and amphibians in the collection to the very large number of 6,165. Twenty-one loans to eighteen separate institutions prove the use to which the material in this department is constantly put. Needless to say, our thanks are conveyed to Set. W. M. Beck, Jr., Capt. L. W. Jarcho, Gunner T. R. Tovell of the Australian Forces, and Dr. H. G. Kugler for material often collected under circumstances of great difficulty. As a matter of fact, through the interest of Captain Jarcho many departments in the Museum besides just that of reptiles have received much interesting material. He is a born collector and a very discrim- inating one. Mrs. William Schevill reports the mammal collection now in good condition and free from insect pests which, at one time, threatened us with a good deal of trouble. This has been over- come. Generally speaking, her work has been principally routine identification of material already in our collection but unworked, as well as collections submitted for examination which are not yet completely studied and which will be reported upon next year. J. L. Peters reports the appearance of the fifth volume of his great work, A Checklist of Birds of the World, and that good progress has been made on the preparation of the sixth. This is indeed welcome news. He received by purchase a collection of 48 hawks and owls from the Island of Cyprus, collected by Mr. Mavramoustakis. Commander Oliver F. Austin, Jr., U.S.N.R. has continued to contribute welcome desiderata from islands in the south Pacific from which previously we had practically no representation. Dr. Austin has put us in his everlasting debt for no one has ever collected more or finer material under difficult circumstances than he has. A number of structural changes are planned in the Entomo- logical Department since the taking over of Dr. Bequaert gives MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY 11 us a good excuse to do some redecoration and some expansion of the storage space which has been needed for a very long time. Mr. V. Nabokov has carried along the rearrangement of the col- lection of butterflies, has also collected some material in the West, and continued some most interesting research in the evolu- tion and development of color pattern in butterflies’ wings which is almost ready for publication. The Department has benefited by the generous voluntary services of Mrs. George S. Patton, Jr., in helping with the annual poisoning of the collection, while, at the present time, Mrs. Louise Kimball is cleaning the glass on the tops of each one of the individual insect boxes, a task which _ has not been done for many, many years and which requires great delicacy and skill, inasmuch as it has to be done without jarring the individual boxes to the detriment of insects therein. Mr. Griscom has published a fine little book on what may be ealled avian sociology and the behavior of avian populations which I personally have studied with great enjoyment and profit and which I predict that many others will do likewise. These were the result of his Lowell Institute Lectures and were pub- lished by the Harvard University Press. He continues his gen- eral ministrations in connection with the preparation of the budget and the supervision of our publications. Thanks to Mr. George R. Agassiz’s generosity, we have made a most satisfactory reduction of the pile of manuscripts awaiting publication. Dr. Elisabeth Deichmann’s time has been more than fully occupied with the general supervision and care of the multitud- inous collection of marine invertebrates and the fact that she has the care also of Dr. Chase’s material in his absence. This has meant that she has had little time to do anything else. Until Dr. T. E. White returns from his Army services in Italy and Professor A. S. Romer, who is now head of the Biological Laboratories, is allowed a cessation of the continuous teaching which the War has forced upon him, naturally our palaeonto- logical program has more or less come to a standstill, especially since Professor P. E. Raymond is retiring. A little preparation has been possible from time to time, and Mr. Nelson has com- pleted one of the most arresting and spectacular mounts which Ne ...eeEwN 12 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE he has ever made. This is the example of a complete, associated skeleton of the great heavy-bodied rhinoceros, Teleoceras, from the Pliocene of Nebraska, which was obtained in exchange from Yale University. This extraordinary creature which was a rhi- noceros probably with the habits more or less like those of a hip- popotamus, was secured by great good fortune, inasmuch as the quarry whence the material was secured is now worked out and it is probable that no more specimens will ever be obtained. This mount has been prepared with the artistry and skill which we always associate with Mr. Nelson’s work. Also it is not unlikely to be perhaps the last of the large fossil skeletons which will be put up in this Museum for many, many years, inasmuch as we have about filled up our last available space for such objects. Mr. Nelson has made an extensive collection of spiders from Alabama, a region from which we have very little material of any nature. : I have left to the last the notice of the Department which, at the moment, is the most active in the Museum. This is the De- partment of Mollusks. Largely owing to the generous assistance of Mr. Richard W. Foster, it has been possible to arrange for the appearance of the special publication of a series of mono- oraphs emanating from this Department. These are published under the name of Johnsoma and this has become immediately popular amongst shell enthusiasts and already has a wide eir- culation. The Department is by way of receiving an enormous inerement to its resources from the private organization of Mr. William Clapp, who for years has been studying and collecting marine borers. These mollusks destroy wharves and piling in all parts of the world. His collections, which are to be transferred to our care, will ever be an important adjunct to our reference material and of use not only as an addition to our own resources for research but of great interest to the Navy and to the Mer- chant Marine as well. The Department reports its accessions as 6,003; catalogued entries, 156,076 ; number of species, 28,145. It has been enriched by about 2,000 lots of dredged mollusecan material collected and donated by Mr. Richard W. Foster and Mr. L. A. Burry from MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY 13 the waters about Florida. This contains only selected lots of beautiful and significant species. Smaller collections have been received from various men in the Army and Navy, among others Capt. M. 8. Ferguson, Capt. Benjamin L. Huntington, Captain Jarcho, and Lieutenant Abbott. Dr. F. M. Carpenter spent much of his time during the past year instructing four classes of naval personnel in premedical zoology and medical entomology. The Library has grown very satisfactorily. There has been good progress in binding and reorganization, as much indeed as ean be done with the Navy occupying the space which it still so badly needs. Mrs. Frazier’s industry and skill in finding and segregating duplicate publications and then selling them most successfully, as well as the fact that we have had good luck in selling back publications, has added materially this year to the very meagre liquid funds of the Museum. Maj. John Wendell Bailey, a former student of mine and a warm friend, now in the SHAEF in Germany, has collected and sent to us a vast num- ber of recent German books which are welcome additions not only to our library but to many other libraries in the University. This has been a gift.of very real and timely value. Since the European war has ended‘I am happy to say our foreign exchanges have begun again and here once more I have to thank Mr. George R. Agassiz, who has allowed me, under certain curcumstances, to dip into his generous gift for general library purposes, specially to pay for temporary assistance. For myself I will only say a word. My heaith has been none too good and I have not engaged actively in any research work during the year. I have been able to give a reasonable amount of time to my administrative duties and have found relaxation in writing, a pursuit which for some strange reason has given me great tranquilization and enjoyment. It seems to me that all things considered, the multitudinous difficulties of the times being as they are, the Museum has had an extremely successful year. As usual we owe our thanks to the great number who, this year as in every year since the Museum was founded, have aided with ereatly appreciated labors vol- untarily performed. 14 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PUBLICATIONS FOR THE YEAR 1944-1945 (31 July, 1944—1 August, 1945) Museum of Comparative Zoology Publications: The following have been printed during the year.
