Museum of Comparative Zoology

To the Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences:

Sir, — I submit herewith the report of the Museum of Compara-
tive Zoology for 1956-1957. The year has not been marked by
any event of startling nature, but has, I think, been one of solid
accomplishment in research, teaching, curatorial work, and other
activities.

STAFF

The Museum loses by retirement at the end of this year one of
its most valued staff members, Arthur Loveridge, Curator of
Reptiles and Amphibians. Educated in Great Britain, Mr. Lov-
eridge engaged in museum work in East Africa before coming to
Cambridge in 1923. Over the years he has returned to Africa on
collecting expeditions no less than five times. He is an outstanding
authority on African reptiles and amphibians and in addition to
numerous scientific monographs has published several delightful
popular books describing his adventures in the field. He will be
succeeded as curator by Dr. Ernest E. Williams, Assistant Profes-
sor in the Department of Biology and in General Education, whose
special field of interest is turtles, living and extinct.

Dr. Donald Baird, who has served for three years as Assistant
Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology, is leaving to accept a com-
parable position at Princeton University. As well as being an en-
thusiastic research worker, he has during this time done us a
valuable service in greatly improving the state of our fossil verte-
brate collections.

Mr. James A. Jensen and Mr. David S. Fuller have joined the
preparation staff in vertebrate paleontology. To aid the current
exhibition program, Mr. Joseph A. O’Leary has come to us from

I

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

the Reading (Pennsylvania) Museum as a member of the prepara-
tion staff.

Dr. Mayr was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University
of Uppsala last spring; Dr. Edinger was similarly honored by the
University of Giessen. Dr. Carpenter is the national presi-
dent-elect of the Society of the Sigma Xi, to take office as president
at the end of 1958. Dr. Whittington was awarded the Bigsby Bi-
ennial Prize Medal by the Geological Society of London. Drs.
Darlington, Whittington, and Chickering were awarded Guggen-
heim fellowships. Dr. Mayr, in addition to continuation of his
services on a number of councils, committees, and advisory
boards, was elected president of the American Ornithological
Union, vice-president of the Nuttall Club, and an honorary mem-
ber of the British Ornithological Club, was appointed to the edi-
torial board of Ergebnisse der Biologie and a member of the zo-
ology committee of the International Union of Biological Socie-
ties, and organized a symposium on species problems for the an-
nual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement
of Science. Dr. Turner is president this year of the American
Malacological Union and was appointed a Research Associate of
the University of Puerto Rico; both she and Dr. Clench have been
named as consultants to the Natural Science Foundation of Phila-
delphia. Dr. Lyman was a Visiting Lecturer at the University of
Toronto. Dr. Levi was elected to the board of governors of the
Nature Conservancy.

In addition to the teaching of a very considerable number of
advanced students, many of the staff members took part, as usual,
in formal instruction in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Dr.
Carpenter continued as chairman of the Department of Biology
as well as teaching entomology. Drs. Whittington and Kummel
gave courses in general and invertebrate paleontology, historical
geology, stratigraphy and sedimentation in the Department of
Geology. I taught in comparative anatomy, evolution, and verte-
brate paleontology; Dr. Williams also taught in comparative anat-
omy and was in charge of the evolution course. Professor Patter-
son participated in the course in vertebrate paleontology and in

z

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

that in general paleontology. Dr. Wilson taught in two Natural
Science courses in the General Education program. Dr. Lyman
repeated his course in the biology of mammals, and Dr. Mayr of-
fered his course on systematics and evolution. Drs. Clench and
Turner lectured in the invertebrate zoology course and the latter
engaged in considerable informal teaching as well as some lectur-
ing during a visit to the University of Puerto Rico.

For many years Dr. Williams and I had conducted a weekly
seminar on vertebrate zoology in the fall term. This past spring
Dr. Levi has conducted a similar seminar on invertebrate topics;
the coming year the two will be combined as a full-year seminar
on zoological and natural history problems in general.

RESEARCH

In mammals, Curator Lawrence has engaged in work on the
origins of domestic dogs and, with Dr. A. Novick, on Philippine
and Congo bats. For the past two years she has served as a member
of the Committee of Archaeological Identifications of the Na-
tional Research Council, and this year particularly has devoted
considerable time to this project. Dr. Lyman, in his studies on
hibernation, has continued study of the process of entering the
hibernating state and on the effect of hibernation on mitosis and
length of life of mammalian cells. Mr. Schevill continued study of
cetacean acoustics and sound production at Woods Hole, made
further measurements of cetacean swimming, and studied the dis-
tribution of the pothead whale (Globicephala).

Although Curator Greenway has carried the major editorial
burden, Drs. Mayr and Paynter have also been active in the bird
department’s important project of completion of the Check List
of Birds of the World. Volume 8 is close to completion and work
on other volumes is in progress. Dr. Mayr has continued work on
the cooperative research projects mentioned in last year’s report
and on his study of tropical snail populations, has prepared manu-
scripts for various symposia and conferences, and continued work
on his book on “Animal Species and Evolution.” Dr. Paynter,

3

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

although devoting considerable time to exhibition work, studied
the F. C. Smithe collections from Guatemala, edited contributions
to the “Biological Investigations in the Selva Lacandona, Chiapas,
Mexico,” and was consulted by the U. S. Public Health Service
regarding Central American birds, both Greenway and he assisted
the work of the Massachusetts Encephalitis Survey.

During his final year with us Mr. Loveridge completed an an-
notated check list of all East African reptiles and amphibians, pre-
pared revisionary studies of certain African snake genera, and
compiled for publication a bibliography of all African reptiles and
amphibians. Dr. Williams studied the zoogeography of Anolis,
undertook, with Dr. Vanzolini of Sao Paulo, a study of chelid
turtles, and reviewed broadly the development of vertebrae in
lower vertebrates. Mr. Shreve has identified and reported on
Mexican reptiles and amphibians collected by Dr. Paynter and is
currently working on the considerable Costa Rican collection
made by Dr. Carl Gans.

Dr. Bigelow and Mr. Schroeder completed a paper, now in press,
on the sharks of the suborder Squaloidea, and are describing new
skates from the Gulf of Mexico, Schroeder additionally is prepar-
ing a report on the lobsters and red crabs living in deep waters
along the outer Atlantic Shelf and upper slope.

Dr. Carpenter prepared manuscript for the insect volume of the
Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology and studied Neuroptera
from the Baltic amber and, for the Pacific Science Board, from
Micronesia. Publication of Dr. Darlington’s book on zoogeogra-
phy is expected shortly. Dr. Brown made progress on three sec-
tions of the reclassification of ants, and finished two parts of the
world revision of dacetine ants. Dr. Levi continued revision of
the American spiders of the family Theridiidae, and finished work
on the genera Crustulina and Steatoda and on Achaearanea, The-
ridion and Sphyrotinus from the West Indies, Mexico and Central
America. Dr. Chickering spent the summer and other holidays at
the Museum furthering his neotropical spider studies. Dr. Chapin
finished his work on Micronesian scorpions and continued work-
ing on the coccinellid beetles of Colombia and Micronesia. Dr.

4

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

Chapman pushed his studies of certain Old World army ants near-
er completion. Dr. Fairchild carried forward his projects on two
groups of neotropical Diptera of medical and veterinary impor-
tance. Dr. Wilson completed several sections of his revision of
the classification of the ants of Melanesia, as well as a study of the
evolution of legionary behavior in ants, and made field and labora-
tory observations and experiments on the behavior of ants and
anole lizards.

In the Department of Mollusks, studies on Western Atlantic
forms continue, with those of the family Cymatidae now in press
and work on other groups well advanced. The land and fresh-
water shells collected by the “Galathea” from Rennell Island in the
Solomons are being studied by Dr. Clench. Dr. Turner is con-
tinuing research on the world fauna of the destructive and eco-
nomically important boring mollusks of the family Teredinidae.
In addition she has started a monograph of the land and freshwater
mollusks of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Dr. Bequaert, be-
fore leaving for a winter at the University of Houston, did further
work on the marine mollusks of western Africa. Dr. Champion
continued studies of North American land mollusks as well as
giving much editorial aid on mollusk department publications.
Mr. Johnson has nearly completed biobibliographical studies of
Temple Prime and Augustus A. Gould, important malacologists
of the last century; most of their type material is contained in the
Museum collections.

In other areas of marine zoology, Dr. Deichmann has nearly
completed work on the Dendrochirota series of the “Discovery”
holothurians, worked with Dr. Bayer of the U. S. National Mu-
seum on the revision of studies of the West Indian Plexauridae,
completed a report on the yellow plexaurids of the West Indies
and Brazil, and is revising the Brazilian gorgonians. With Dr.
Moulton of Bowdoin College she is preparing a report on the
American spring lobsters omitted, due to lack of materials, by
Holthuis in his 1946 monograph.

Among the vertebrate paleontologists, Professor Patterson has
made further studies on Mesozoic Mammalia, South American

5

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

fossil mammals, and the relationship of some of the insectivore
groups. In her continued work in paleoneurology, Dr. Edinger
this year has been especially interested in a Paleocene specimen in
the Princeton collections which appears to be the oldest known
bat brain endocast. Mr. van Frank has done further work on
Toxodon material and Dr. Baird has continued his attempts to
untangle the “who’s who” of the important and interesting Linton
Carboniferous tetrapod fauna. I completed and published a paper
on the limb and girdles of the embolomere Archeria and studied
the postcranial anatomy of the giant pelycosaur Cotylorhynchus.
At long last my overlengthy tome on the Osteology of Reptiles
has appeared.

By June, search of the necessary literature for the bibliography
of non-North American vertebrate paleontology on which Miss
Wright, Dr. Edinger and I have been long working, and with
which Mr. van Frank has been occupied as well for the past three
years, seemed so close to completion that it is planned that van
Frank will start in the autumn to prepare the materials for publi-
cation. It is expected that the work will run to about 2600 pages.
It is our fond hope that it will be a useful working tool for the
paleontological profession.

Dr. Whittington completed studies on the ontogeny of trilobites
and an introductory chapter on that group for the Treatise on
Invertebrate Paleontology, together with a longer essay on the
same subject for Biological Reviews. He further made a prelimi-
nary report on the limestone conglomerate of western Newfound-
land and continued work on silicified trilobites from Virginia.
Topics studied by Dr. Kummel included Triassic ammonoids and
Jurassic nautiloids from New Zealand and paleogeographic prob-
lems of the Mesozoic system. He also advanced close to comple-
tion a volume on earth history.

EXPEDITIONS AND TRAVEL

In November Dr. Darlington left for a trip to Australia, planned
to last somewhat more than a year, in search of carabid beetles.

6

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

Dr. Whittington left at the end of January for a spring and sum-
mer of work in North Wales and study and collection of inverte-
brates at a number of European localities. In April Dr. Mayr and
Professor Patterson left for Neuchatel to attend a conference on
the evolution of parasites — Mayr to act as chairman of the con-
ference, Patterson to discuss the evolution of the mammals who
play host to these creatures. Patterson took the opportunity to
study a number of European fossil collections before his return.
After the conference Mayr visited a number of European insti-
tutes, took part in a conference in Uppsala on “Systematics of
Today” in commemoration of the 25oth anniversary of the birth
of Linnaeus, and did field work in Italy with Professor Stresemann
of Berlin and Dr. Kramer of Wilhelmshaven. Dr. Kummel did
stratigraphic work in Libya and Egypt during the summer of 1956
and studied larger Foraminifera in collections in Rome. Mr. Sche-
vill last year cruised some 2000 miles in the North Atlantic in
search of cetaceans; last autumn he visited various institutes and
museums in England and Germany and presented a paper on the
use of underwater sound by cetaceans at an international naviga-
tional congress in Hamburg; his travels and studies were mainly
supported by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Plans
have been completed for Dr. Paynter to leave at the end of the
summer in charge of a Harvard-Yale expedition in search of birds
in the Himalayan regions of Nepal, India, and Pakistan.

A series of travels closer to home base may be noted. Last sum-
mer Dr. Whittington, with a grant from the Shaler Memorial
Fund, collected trilobites and graptolites from Cambrian and
Ordovician rocks of the south shore of the St. Lawrence River.
Dr. Burnett made a fine collection of bats in the course of a trip
to Mexico during the summer of 1956. Dr. Paynter, on the invita-
tion of Mr. F. C. Smithe, spent with him most of March at Tikal,
Peten, Guatemala, in collecting and making a preliminary sur-
vey of the avifauna of the region. He has agreed to identify the
skeletal remains from this important archaeological site. This work
should be a valuable aid to future studies of Central American

birds.

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

During the summer of 1956 exploration of Carboniferous con-
tinental deposits for amphibian remains was continued under Na-
tional Science Foundation auspices. Nova Scotia was the area
searched. Preparator Lewis was in charge, and, with Dr. and Mrs.
Baird, Miss Wright, Mr. van Frank, and Mr. Jensen, spent two
months in the field; my wife and I also worked for part of this
period. As expected, results were poor for most of the season.
Near its close, however, rich material was discovered in fossil tree
stumps in the North Sydney coal fields. We wish to thank various
Nova Scotia friends for aid and encouragement, notably the Nova
Scotia Research Foundation, and the Nova Scotia Department of
Mines and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for hospi-
tality at their summer geological field camp. The past spring
Messrs. Lewis and Jensen worked for a time at the Thomas Farm
locality in Florida, and made a reconnaissance of the phosphate
beds farther south in the state; Professor Patterson, Mrs. Romer,
and I worked with them for a short time. We are indebted to our
friends at the University of Florida, particularly Dr. J. C. Dickin-
son, Jr., for their hospitality, and to Mr, Stanley Olsen of the
Florida Geological Survey for advice on the southern localities.

COLLECTIONS

Although an immense amount of work still remains to be done
to put our collections in efficient working order, nearly every de-
partment reports considerable progress in this direction. This is
due to the constant faithful work of both curators and assistants
on necessary, but often dreary and tedious, tasks. I would like on
this occasion to mention especially the very valuable services of
Mrs. Myvanwy Dick to the badly understaffed Department of
Fishes.

A notable example in more efficient use of space is the work in
progress in invertebrate paleontology where, by substituting shal-
low drawers for the needlessly deep ones formerly used, the
amount of possible storage in the space available has been nearly

doubled.

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

The Museum’s policy is to avoid needless increase in the volume
of its collections, but on the other hand representation of a wide
range of forms for comparative studies is highly desirable. In this
connection, Mr. Loveridge, I am sure, may have felt some justi-
fiable pride in noting, in his final report for the Department of
Reptiles and Amphibians, that during the period since 1923-1924
when he took charge of the collections, the number of species and
races represented has nearly doubled, increasing from 3514 to 6661.

I wish it were possible to express here our thanks for each and
every gift received during the year, but space permits me to men-
tion only a few of the larger gifts, such as: approximately 2000
bird skins from the Phillips Estate Collection; 250 specimens of
Central American birds from Mr. F. C. Smithe; a valuable collec-
tion of bird skeletons from Chiapas, Mexico, from Senor Miguel
Alvarez del Toro; Canadian amber insects collected by Mr. Wil-
liam L. Legg, given by Mrs. Bruce Mathai of Baltimore; gifts of
African reptiles and amphibians from Mr. C, J. P. Ionides and
Father M. C. Lesage and important mollusk materials given by
Dr. Jeanne Schwengel, David and Nevada Schmidt, Mrs. Amy
Phares, and Mrs. Germaine Warmke; an insect collection made by
the late Norman S. Easton of Fall River; and Brazilian Lepidoptera
and Coleoptera from Professor C. M. de Biezanko.

Various friends of the Museum and students have volunteered
services in work on the collections. Notably Professor W. T. M.
Forbes has spent much time on our collections of moths and but-
terflies, Dr. R. Crabill on the centipedes and millipeds, and Messrs.
Joseph Rosewater and Robert Robertson have done much volun-
teer work in the Mollusk Department.

LIBRARY

Despite the fact that the library budget is, of necessity, well
below the level which this department of the Museum deserves, it
has, under Miss Mackenzie’s efficient management, been able to
keep well abreast of work on new materials. Of necessity, how-

9

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

ever, little can be done in catching up on arrearages of work due
to even smaller budgets of earlier years. Most worrisome is the
fact that there are large accumulations of unbound journals subject
to slow deterioration in their present condition.

Much progress has been made in coordinating the efforts of the
various biological libraries and the College Library to give a more
efficient distribution of the University’s library resources in biol-
ogy. With the expansion of their library area, the Biological Lab-
oratories have been able to accommodate about 1000 volumes of
journals, mainly of a physiological nature, which had been in the
Museum collections but which are more advantageously placed
for use in the Laboratories. Integration of efforts in book pur-
chases has already been undertaken, and progress has been made
in elimination of unnecessary expense in duplication of journal
purchases and binding. The Museum made further progress in the
building up of the geological collections. However pressure of
work in Widener Library has delayed the planned transfer to us
of geological journals and certain zoological books, and, on our
part, work pressures have similarly slowed up our integration of
geological works already transferred.

At present we currently receive 2379 journals, few of which are
present elsewhere in the Harvard collections, and of which a large
proportion are not to be found in any other New England library.
Fortunately, most are received by exchange for the Bulletin and
Breviora, and only 17.5% are purchases. Our current holdings in
volumes and catalogued pamphlets are 233,105.

PUBLICATIONS

In 1955-1956, by chance, Bulletin and Breviora papers published
during the twelve months totalled but 459 pages. This past year,
in contrast, 1314 pages were published in these two journals under
Miss Wright’s editorship, 162 pages as numbers 59 to 78 of Bre-
viora and 1152 pages of Bulletin material — the latter including a
concluding number of volume 114, and papers in volumes 115 and

10

MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY

116. The Mollusk Department published two numbers of Occa-
sional Papers and the Museum subsidized eleven papers published
in Psyche.

EXHIBITS

As noted last year, it has been necessary to consider carefully
our public exhibits, to which little attention has been given for
nearly three decades. Drs. Lyman, Paynter, and Baird acted with
me as a committee to formulate a general program of revision. It
was decided that eventually all exhibits would be concentrated on
the third floor, bringing the paleontological material up from their
present isolated position in a first floor “pocket,” and arranging the
specimens of living animals in a systematic rather than faunal pat-
tern; all this with an attempt, as the work goes on, to present the
materials in a more instructive and attractive fashion. It is hoped
that this may be accomplished without drawing on the regular
Museum budget for funds, and several gifts already received have
enabled us to initiate this revision. Work on the skeleton of the
great plesiosaur Kronosaurus, in charge of Preparator Arnold
Lewis, has proceeded to the point where it is expected that this
impressive mount will be opened to the public this coming winter,
and the revision of the display of the Thayer Collection of North
American birds, ably directed by Dr. Paynter, is close to comple-
tion.
