Museum of Comparative Zoology

To THE Provost oF THE UNIVERSITY:

Sir, — The simple, familiar sign “Men at Work” is perhaps the best
summary that may be made of this report on the year’s activities of the
Museum. With the prices of all basic services and supplies continually
rising and consuming a larger and larger share of an essentially fixed
income, our efforts and interests have not been directed toward innova-
tion or expansion; we have been, instead, concerned with the channel-
ing of such resources as are available in directions which will best
maintain the research work of the staff. No expenditures were budg-
eted for exhibits or for expeditions and additions to the collections,
except from funds specifically designated for such purposes, and even
routine purchases of supplies and equipment have been pared far below
normal figures. Little is available in aid of research in the way of pur-
chase of extra services or equipment, but fortunately most of our staff
have available research problems for which lavish expenditures are un-
necessary.

In two major categories there has been and should be no retrench-
ment — salaries of permanent scientific staff members and curatorial
assistance. In the past museums have all too often attempted to justify
low salary scales on the grounds that a scientist should be willing to
_ make a sacrifice to work in a congenial field. Such a poliey is obviously
unwise from both long-range and short-term points of view. Inade-
quate salary prospects have undoubtedly caused many men who would
have been successful in museum work to turn to better paid fields; a
scientist cannot work at his best with a mind disturbed by financial
worries. Our Museum has sinned with its fellows with regard to sal-
aries; inadequacies are all too apparent at a time such as this when
living costs are high. For the present our condition is such that little
can be done to improve the salary situation, but adjustment to a more
appropriate level should be a primary obligation whenever circum-
stances permit. ,

For the promotion of research, free time is a basic requisite. Occu-
pying the time of a potentially productive scientist with routine cura-
torial tasks which could be done as well by a person with little or no
scientific training is a wasteful procedure. The amount of curatorial
assistance supplied at present is woefully small. It cannot be reduced
_and should whenever possible be greatly increased.

4 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

For nearly a century, since the days of Louis Agassiz and Felipe
Poey, the Museum has been in close contact with the naturalists and
zoologists of the University of Havana. For several recent decades the
relationship was particularly close because of the great interest of the
late Thomas Barbour in the island and its fauna and his close associa-
tion with the activities of Don Carlos de la Torre, dean of Cuban
naturalists, and his students and colleagues. As a result of an invita-
tion from the Rector, my wife and I spent ten days in Cuba in Janu-
ary as the guests of the University of Havana, renewing the ancient
ties of friendship between our institutions. The visit was an exceed-
ingly pleasant, stimulating and profitable experience. My thanks are
due to the host of Cuban friends for the many favors shown us; most
especially I wish to thank Dr. Clemente Inclan Costa, Rector of the
University; Don Carlos de la Torre himself; and Professors Carlos G.
Aguayo and Luis Howell Rivero of the Department of Zodlogy of the
University.

«Staff

The titles of Museum officers have been exceedingly varied in the
past and have sometimes offered little clue as to the functions of those —
who bore them. This year the Faculty has established a pattern of —
nomenclature to which many of the Museum titles are now adjusted
and to which we hope to adhere in making future appointments. A
main “ladder” includes the title of Alexander Agassiz Professor as a
senior research post, with the usual titles of Curator, Associate Cura-
tor and Assistant Curator following in order. Since a number of Mu-
seum staff members are essentially research workers without curatorial
duties, a series of titles parallel to the three curatorial grades is es-
tablished: Research ZoGlogist (or equivalent), Research Associate, Re-
search Assistant. Nonresident officers are to bear the title of Associate.
The term Research Fellow is to designate (as in the Faculty of Arts
and Sciences) visiting scientists to whom the courtesies of the institu-
tion have been granted.

A call to a professorship in literature at Cornell University has re-
sulted, to our regret, in the removal of Mr. Vladimir Nabokov from
our community and his consequent resignation as a Research Fellow in
the Museum, where we have profited from his knowledge of the-Lepi-
doptera and his enthusiasm for their study.

Dr. Theodore E. White has continued, on leave from the Museum,
his work under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution on the pa-
leontology of federal dam sites. Associate Curator William E. Schevill

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY 5

continues his part-time association with the Woods Hole Oceano-
graphic Institution.

Thomas Tonkin McCabe, Associate in Ornithology, died in Berke-
ley, California, on January 28, 1948. A graduate of Harvard College in
the Class of 1912 Mr. McCabe had presented his fine collection of birds
from British Columbia to the Museum in 1936. He hoped at that time
to be able to come to Cambridge to study and report on this collection,
but to our regret had been unable to carry through this plan.

The unsung hero of the Museum staff is Mr. M. L. French, Staff
Assistant. No one in the Museum has, I think, shown more devotion
to the interests of the institution or worked more energetically to pro-
mote them. In his varied duties he is of aid to every Museum depart-
ment, and I am sure that every staff member joins me in paying tribute,
for once, at least, to his invaluable services.

Research Activities

In the Mammal Department Miss Lawrence has been engaged in the
identification of archeological material from the Southwest and has also
described a new bat from New Guinea. Dr. Lyman has continued his
researches on hibernation, including aspects of the problem relating
to oxygen consumption, blood chemistry, temperature regulation and
nerve conduction.

Mr. Peters reports satisfactory progress on volume 7 of his Check-
list of Birds of the World. He has now entered into the domain of the
Passeres — the last, but by very far the largest of the avian orders. Mr.
Greenway has been engaged in studies on extinct birds and on Asiatic
birds. |

In addition to his editorial duties, Mr. Griscom was able to engage
in field work and in research in a number of lines, including study
of the redpolls and of Mexican birds and of problems of waterfowl
conservation.

Mr. Shreve has continued his collaboration with Dr. A. F. Carr, Jr.
in the study of the latter’s collection of Honduran reptiles and am-
phibians.

In ichthyology Dr. Bigelow and Mr. Schroeder report further prog-
ress on their monograph of the skates and rays of the Western Atlantic
and have written two other papers on batoids as by-products of their
major work.

Dr. Bequaert has progressed in his preparation of a monograph of
the North American Hippoboscidae. Miss Bryant has completed
_ studies on spiders of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola and has brought close

6 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

to completion a study of the Salticidae, or jumping spiders, of Jamaica.
Mr. Nabokov concluded his researches on taxonomy and variation in
holarctic Lycaenidae.

A grant from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation
enabled Dr. Darlington to spend six months, from November to April,
at the British Museum in the study of Oriental and Indo-Australian
carabid beetles; he is at work on a comprehensive study of this family.

In the Mollusk Department Mr. Clench has devoted his time mainly
to a monograph of our Western Atlantic mollusks and additional
studies on the land mollusks of the Western Pacific islands. Dr. Be-
. quaert has done further work on African land mollusks; Mr. Foster
has advanced in the preparation of a bibliography of molluscan litera-
ture; Miss Turner has continued her investigations on boring mollusks
and Dr. Isabel Farfante of the University of Havana, a guest of the
department, has completed her studies of the family Fissurellidae.

The Department of Mollusks is cooperating with the National Re- ©
search Council in the problem created through the introduction by the
Japanese of African land snails of the family Achatinidae into Guam
and other Pacific islands, where they have become a severe pest. Dr.
F. X. Williams, in charge of the study, visited Cambridge to receive
instruction from Dr. Bequaert in methods of collecting these snails
and in the nature of the predatory mollusks and insects which control
achatinids in their African home. Dr. Williams later shipped many
live specimens of these snails to Cambridge, where they were dissected
by Dr. Albert Mead of the University of Arizona.

Miss Deichmann completed a report on South African holothurians.

During the year Dr. Edinger has finished a study of the origin of
the frontal sinus of mammals and has continued work on early mam-
malian brains and the history of parietal eyes. In the course of a trip
to the Pacific coast, during which she gave a number of university
lectures on brain evolution, she collected data for her studies on tooth
replacement in reptiles and amphibians. |

In invertebrate paleontology Dr. Cloud has been engaged in short-
term work on brachiopods and conodonts from the Triassic of
Nevada, and has made some progress on a major study of the terebratu-
loid brachiopods and on a bibliography and catalogue of the Brachio-
poda. Mr. Schevill has continued to give his attention to the cephalo-
pods.

Dr. Carpenter has been engaged in a number of researches on Pa-
leozoic insects; a revision of the Megasecoptera has been completed, a
paper on the Ephemerida of the Oklahoman Permian is close to comple-

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY J]

tion and work has continued on the Kansas Permian Protorthoptera.
He has also completed several papers on recent Neuroptera. Under
his direction Miss Ruth Dunn has finished a catalogue of Paleozoic in-
sects and made a start on a similar catalogue of Mesozoic faunas.

Mr. Stetson’s work has centered around the laboratory study of ma-
rine sediments collected during a cruise to the Gulf of Mexico noted
in our last report; he is assisted in this work by Miss Constance French
and Mrs. Sally M. MacAuslan. His work on the sediments of the east

coast continental slope is close to completion.

Collections

In the Mammal Department much time has, as usual, been devoted
by the staff to determining materials brought in for identification.
With the aid of Mrs. Jordan a great deal of necessary routine cura-
torial work has been accomplished, including the cataloguing and sort-
ing of alcoholics in the Barbour Memorial Collection of Madagascan
mammals, alcoholic bat material, etc.

Outstanding additions to the herpetological collections include ad-
ditional materials from Honduras presented by Dr. A. F. Carr, Jr. and
a series of burrowing lizards (Amphisbaena) and other rarities from
the Gold Coast, presented by Mr. C. S. Cansdale, a naturalist formerly
resident in that colony.

Mrs. Dick has made substantial progress in the cataloguing of the
fish collections. Among gifts may be noted one of 26g lots of. fishes
collected on the Great Barrier Reef by Mr. Otis Barton. Mr. Barton was
in residence in the Museum from December to April and completed a
paper on this material.

Among the numerous gifts of specimens to the Department of En-
tomology during the year the following call for especial note: a col-
lection of 107 species of North American Cynipidae (gall wasps), in-
cluding a number of paratypes, given by Mr. L. H. Weld; a series of
65 species of termites from the Division of Economic Entomology,
Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, Australia; a collection
of West Indian Fulgoridae, including types of several species, donated
by Mr. R. G. Fennah; a large and valuable collection of butterflies
gathered by Mr. Nabokov in Colorado.

In the Department of Mollusks much curatorial work on the collec-
tions was combined with scientific study of the material under revision.
Mr. Foster continued revision of the marine bivalves, Dr. Champion
that of North American land mollusks, completing several of the
smaller families. Mr. Johnson has continued studies on the Unionidae

8 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

and Mr. Arthur Soper has revised the Conidae and Mitridae of the
Indo-Pacific region. Exchanges and gifts brought accessions for the
year to a total of 4095 lots. Of especial importance was the acquisition,
through the kindness of a friend, of the E. J. Meadows Collection of
Hawatian tree snails; this is a large series of 645 lots collected over a
30-year period from rather inaccessible localities in the mountains of
Oahu Island. A number of friends have aided the work on boring
mollusks by installing collecting boards. Much fine material has been
received as a result, notably from Dr. P. Korringa, Laboratory of
Fisheries, Bergen op Zoom, The Netherlands; Dr. R. R. Logie, Atlan-
tic Biological Station, St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada; and Dr.
Edwyn P. Reed, Instituto Oceanografice de Valparaiso, Chile.

In the vertebrate paleontology laboratory, Preparator F. Russell Ol-
sen has been engaged in the preparation of the unique if fragmentary
material of American Mississippian amphibians collected some years
ago in West Virginia and the sorting out and preparation of the num- |
erous specimens of Triassic amphibians from the Gunter bonebed in
New Mexico. Mr. Stanley Olsen has worked mainly on the materials
of the Permian embolomere Archeria. ;

In invertebrate paleontology the acid preparation of Permian fossil
blocks from West Texas was a major project during the year. Mrs.
Esther Russell did much of this work, and also aided in preliminary
preparation of Triassic brachiopods and other departmental routines.
About 12,000 invertebrate fossils were added to the collections during
the year. Notable gifts were those of more than 1000 specimens of Mua-
crospirifer and Cyrtina donated by Mr. Charles Southworth of Thed-
ford, Ontario; a series of choice Triassic invertebrates from Dr. J. Lee
Adams of Reno, Nevada; some 2000 Devonian invertebrates from
Iowa, presented by Mr. F. O. Thompson of Des Moines.

Expeditions

Over a period of years Mr. Loveridge has made contributions of the
greatest value to the zodlogy of Africa by a succession of expeditions
for the study of the rapidly vanishing forest fauna of the eastern re-
gions of that continent. In May, Mr. Loveridge, accompanied by Mrs.
Loveridge, left for a further expedition in this series, with Nyasaland
and Portuguese East Africa as the areas under investigation. We are
grateful to the American Philosophical Society for a substantial grant
which will cover a considerable portion of the expenses of the trip,
and pleased at the recognition of the value of Mr. Loveridge’s work
implicit in this grant.

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY 9

Dr. Bequaert and Dr. and Mrs. Charles Remington made an auto-
mobile trip to Texas and New Mexico during the summer of 1947,
making entomological collections and also acquiring many valuable
mollusk records.

During the late summer of 1947 Assistant Preparator Stanley Olsen,
assisted by Mrs. Olsen, continued work on the Geraldine bonebed in
Archer County, Texas, and followed this with a month’s work at the
Thomas Farm site in Florida, where the writer joined them for a
short time. In June 1948 Mr. Olsen, assisted by Mr. William Harrup,
Jr., a student at Columbia University, conducted a final “dig” at
Geraldine. This locality now appears to be exhausted. It has been,
however, in its time one of the most productive bonebeds ever discov-
ered in the Texas redbeds; as well as a great deal of material of Eryops
and “Cricotus,” it yielded nearly a dozen skeletons of Edaphosaurus,
now on exhibition in museums from New England to Texas.

In September 1947 Dr. Cloud collected invertebrate fossils in the
Triassic of Nevada, his work being aided greatly through the guidance
and assistance of Dr. J. Lee Adams of Reno. In July and August of
1947 Dr. Carpenter undertook the collection of fossil insects from the
Lower Permian of Oklahoma, adding some 2000 specimens to the
material collected there in 1940.

Through the interest stimulated by Mr. John K. Howard the New
Zealand authorities have been aroused to the scientific importance of the
study of wapiti introduced into their country some decades ago.- Dur-
ing the summer season of 1947-8 a reconnaissance was made of the
area of the South Island occupied by the wapiti. Plans have been laid
and appropriations made for a thorough study of the problem during
the coming year; a number of New Zealand government departments
and institutions are to participate and Mr. Howard will continue to
represent us in the field as he has during the past two seasons.

Academic and Other Activities

A number of staff members engaged, as is customary, in teaching
activities in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. In Biology, Dr. Carpen-
ter is in charge of instruction in entomology; the writer continued his
course in comparative anatomy and in addition organized a new course
in organic evolution which is to become part of the General Educa-
tion program; Dr. Bigelow continued the teaching of invertebrate zo-
ology, and Dr. Darlington offered a course in zoégeography during the
summer of 1947. In the Department of Geology Dr. Cloud gave in-
struction in invertebrate paleontology and stratigraphy and Mr. Stet-

IO MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

son continued his successful course in sedimentation. A considerable
number of graduate students in both biology and geology were en-
gaged in research and advanced study in various Museum depart-
ments under the guidance of staff members.

In last year’s report some notice was made of the varied contributions
made by staff members to other University activities and to a variety
of outside organizations in science. In addition to the list of editorial
services cited in that report, we note that Dr. Carpenter has become
the editor of Psyche and Miss Wright has undertaken the editorship
of the Bulletin of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology.

During the year the various departments have had the customary
pleasure of receiving numerous scientific visitors. In addition to those
whose stay has been of short duration, we have had three guests with
us for the greater part of the year: Dr. Isabel Farfante of the University
of Havana in the Department of Mollusks; Dr. Gordon E. Gates, for-
merly of the University of Rangoon and now of Colby College, in
annelid studies; and Dr. C. A. du Toit of the University of Stellen-
bosch who was engaged in the study of amphibian skull morphology.
All three were welcome and stimulating members of the Museum
group, and we view their departure with regret.

Library

During the year several forward steps were accomplished in the
reorganization and modernization of library routines. A newly
planned card system for charging books was put into operation. A
simplified method of managing the ever-growing interlibrary loan activ-
ity was developed. Installation of a visible record file has reduced to
about a third the time formerly required under the old and complicated
system of recording serial publications. The purchase of this file was
rendered possible through a gift by Mr. Richard W. Foster.

A pleasing gift was the donation by Mr. C. F. Batchelder of the
stocks of the Proceedings of the New England Zodlogical Club. As in
every library, our journal sets show occasional gaps and lacunae; it is
Mr. Batchelder’s wish that the proceeds from future sales of the Pro-
ceedings be used to fill these gaps.

Our library performs a function far broader than that of service to
the Museum alone. As a result of the rather erratic development of the
Harvard library system it so happens that the Departments of Geology
and Biology have little in the way of library services. Geology, indeed,
has no library at all, but the Department of Mineralogy supplies a

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY II

limited number of geologic journals and books; Biology has a small
library chiefly confined to student texts and reference works and a
limited number of the more common journals. The Museum library
is for both geologists and zodlogists their main reliance for coverage
of the literature of their subjects and in addition it carries numerous
journals of general scientific and learned societies not available else-
where in the University. It is a pleasure for the Museum to offer these
library facilities to our colleagues, but it is an expensive pleasure, for
the costs of the library and of publications for exchange currently
amount to a sum equivalent to about 40% of the Museum’s income
from endowment. Divided responsibility for coverage of the fields of
zoological and geologic literature has in some instances led to need-
less duplication of purchases and in others left embarrassing gaps. It
is my hope that during the coming year our holdings may be reviewed
and satisfactory arrangements made between the Museum and the de-
partments concerned as to responsibilities for coverage of these fields.

Publications

This year was a satisfactory one from the point of view of publica-
tions. Volume gg of the Bulletin was completed, volume 100 published
in entirety, and a substantial portion of volume 101 produced — a total
of 942 pages. In addition publication in Psyche of some eight papers
was supported-by Museum aid. As has been the case for many years,
the publication program was aided greatly through the support of Mr.
George R. Agassiz. The Mollusk Department has published two num-
bers of Johnsonia and three numbers of Occasional Papers, with a com-
bined total of 156 pages. :

With the completion of volume 24 in the autumn of 1947, the Pro-
ceedings of the New England Zodlogical Club came to an end. Al-
though this was not an official Museum publication, most of the pa-
pers published in the Proceedings came from the Museum and almost
every member of the “Club” was a Museum staff member, active or
honorary. The Club was not a formal organization — it never held a
meeting — but consisted of a group of workers who felt the need of a
medium in the Boston-Cambridge region for prompt publication of
brief papers in the field of taxonomy. Throughout its history its edi-
tor — indeed, the Club’s only officer — has been Mr. Charles F. Batch-
elder. In recent years death had reduced the membership to a point
_ where Mr. Batchelder and Mr. Peters are the only remaining members,
_ and the editor, feeling that he is approaching an age when physical

12 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

infirmities might force him to lay down his work, decided to terminate
publication with the volume just completed. For half a century the
Proceedings served a very useful function in zodlogical publication.

Acknowledgments

When the budget for the year under discussion was in preparation
it became obvious that even despite strict economy and despite an un-
derstanding consideration of our needs by the University authorities,
there would remain a deficit for which no coverage was available. Our
difficulties were solved for the year through the gift of an anonymous
donor, but there remained the unpleasant prospect of an annual solici-
tation of funds to cover similar future deficits. This has been made
unnecessary through the generosity of Mr. George R. Agassiz in re-
linquishing to us his life interest in a fraction of the income of his
father’s estate which had fallen to him on the death of his brother, |
Maximilian; the sum involved is almost exactly the amount of the
deficit concerned.

Mr. Richard W. Foster has again given substantial aid to the work
of the Department of Mollusks.

The publication of Volume VI of Mr. Peters’ Check-list of Birds
of the World was rendered possible through the aid of a group of or-
nithologists to whom we are sincerely grateful: Mr. Boardman Con-
over, Mr. Jean Delacour, Mr. Rodolphe M. de Schauensee, Mr. James
C. Greenway, Jr., Mr. Robert T. Moore, Mrs. Walter W. Naumburg,
Dr. Max M. Peet, Mr. William H. Phelps, Dr. S. Dillon Ripley II, and
Mrs. Carll Tucker.

and friends who have taken part in our research and curatorial activi-
ties without financial reward. Apart from staff members, the following
volunteer workers are noted in the curators’ reports: _

Entomology: N.S. Bailey, W. L. Brown, K. A. Christiansen, C. L.
