MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY I submit herewith the one-hundred-and-first annual report of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, for 1959-60. In Novem- ber 1959 we celebrated the centennial of the Museum’s founding with a public lecture by the distinguished British biologist, Sir Julian Huxley, followed by a reception in the Museum and a dinner in Memorial Hall for some 300 friends. Although (owing to ill-timed modesty on the part of our founder) our Museum bears the awkward and (currently) meaningless name of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, it is commonly termed “The Agassiz Museum.” Rightly so; for it is mainly to the support of three generations of the Agassiz family that the Museum owes its foundation and its subsequent successful career. For the last fourteen years of his life Louis Agassiz labored unceasingly for the institution. At his death there had arisen, through his efforts, a building of fully half the Mu- seum’s present extent; in it were already housed splendid re- search collections; within its walls had already been trained a group of students whose scientific descendants were to include in later generations the great majority of American workers in animal biology. With the passing of Louis Agassiz in 1873, however, the Museum was in danger of collapse, for its en- dowment was exceedingly small. At this point his son, Alexan- der Agassiz, took charge, completed the building, financed the institution for a third of a century, and in his will established a trust fund from which the Museum draws substantial support today. In later decades Alexander’s youngest son, the late George R. Agassiz, continued the family interest and gave us major support without which the institution might well have become submerged by the tide of inflation. It is to be hoped I MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY that in the future we may find friends as firm and as confident of our worth as have been the Agassizs of three generations. Had Louis Agassiz been with us at our celebration, what would his feelings have been? What would he have thought of the Museum’s present status in the light of his ambitions for the future of the M.C.Z. and his strenuous efforts toward its early development? In some regards, we can be quite sure, he would have felt disappointment. Louis Agassiz never knew bounds to his am- bitions and hopes for any project in which he engaged. He publicly stated that he planned his new museum as the Ameri- can counterpart to the great museums then in process of for- mation in Paris and London. But in moments when not completely dominated by pure enthusiasm he must, I am cer- tain, have realized that this aim was impossible of full attain- ment. Both the London and Paris museums were, and are, supported by their national governments and sitiated in the capital and metropolis of the country 1n each case. Cambridge is not the American capital, nor the American metropolis, and a museum here could obviously not look forward to support from the federal government. It was hence inevitable that (stimulated in great measure by Agassiz’s example) other in- stitutions, national and metropolitan, should arise which could gain greater support and grow to greater size — the National Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in our capital, spon- sored by the federal government and supported by its funds, and the American Museum of Natural History in New York, supported not only by gifts from private individuals of that metropolis but also by major annual appropriations from the city government. Under the circumstances it is not unexpected to find that these institutions have grown to a magnitude far larger than that of the M.C.Z. and that, logically, because of public support, they have developed exhibition programs far beyond our powers. MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY But in other regards, closer to Louis Agassiz’s heart, we have not failed him. Research and teaching were the objectives of Louis Agassiz’s life — personal research being more prominent in his earlier, European, career, teaching and the encourage- ment of research dominant in his life in Cambridge. These aims are those of a university. And whereas the connections of the museums of Paris, London, Washington and New York with educational institutions are at the best tenuous, the M.C.Z. is, in contrast, an integral part of a major university. It has an enthusiastic and exceedingly able staff not merely capable of performing research of high quality but of instilling their own spirit into the increasing numbers of students who seek their guidance. I would in no way decry the high standing of a number of university museums of more limited coverage but I think it can be said with confidence that the Museum of Com- parative Zoology is the outstanding university museum of this country, if not of the world. Thus, in the major areas of his interest, we have fully lived up to the high hopes of our founder. STAFF Dr. George Gaylord Simpson, distinguished student of fossil mammals and of evolutionary processes, joined us as an Alexander Agassiz Professor last autumn. Dr. Giles W. Mead, formerly in charge of the government fisheries laboratory in Washington, came to us as Curator of Fishes in April, giving promise of a bright future to a department with a history of past distinction; Mr. Schroeder, who has for many years cared for our collections becomes Research Ichthyologist. Dr. Wil- liam L. Brown, able research worker on ants, who has rendered invaluable services to us in curatorial care of the insect col- lection, will leave us this autumn to take a post at Cornell University; from Cornell to the Museum will come this au- tumn, as Associate Curator of Insects, Dr. Howard E. Evans, 3 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY whose research interests lie in the systematics and habits of wasps. Mr. George W. Cottrell, Jr., has joined us as Associate in Ornithology to devote himself to a study of the families of birds. Staff members were in constant demand for lectures and symposia in other institutions during the year. For example, Drs. Mayr and Simpson were among the major participants in the Darwin Symposium at the University of Chicago in November; Dr. Mayr was invited to Melbourne to participate in the centennial symposium of the Royal Society of Victoria; Dr. Simpson was the 1960 Jesup Lecturer at Columbia Uni- versity; and Dr. Carpenter was the Case Memorial Lecturer at the University of Michigan. Dr. Simpson was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Science at the University of Chi- cago and Dr. Mayr and I were given the same degree at the University of Melbourne and the University of Buffalo, respec- tively. Dr. Mayr will be president of the XII International Ornithological Congress to be held at Ithaca in 1962, and I have been named president of the XVI International Zoological Congress, to take place in Washington in 1963. I was given the Elliott Medal of the National Academy of Science, awarded annually for work in zoology and paleontology. Some 33 students studied with staff members for advanced degrees in biology and geology and in addition, as customary, staff members engaged in formal teaching in various instances. A well-received new departure was the initiation by Dr. Wil- liams of a course on “The Biology of Reptiles and Amphibians.” Dr. Levi continued his work with the Academic Year Institute for High School Teachers of Science and Mathematics. RESEARCH The increasing tempo of research in the Museum 1s indicated by the long appended list of publications by the staff and by 4 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY the numerous and varied research projects cited as in process by the departments. In the field of mammals, Dr. Lyman has continued investi- gation of the factors controlling the onset of and arousal from hibernation, and Mr. Schevill has, through the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, continued his studies of cetacean biology and systematics. In ornithology, Mr. Greenway has edited and prepared manuscript for the Check-List of Birds of the World. Dr. Paynter has continued work on material from the Indian expedition, and on the Smithe collection from Guatemala; this will result in a joint publication on the avi- fauna of the Tikal National Park. Dr. Paynter has also well toward completion a complete review of the demographic as- pects of the herring gull. A very considerable amount of work is in progress under the aegis of the department of herpetology. The major project on anoline lizards has continued, with field studies in Puerto Rico by A. S. Rand and in Cuba by R. Ruibal, both studies being in association with or under the direction of Curator Williams. Studies were also undertaken on Hispaniolan Ano- lis, and as a by-product, on the fauna of the Port-au-Prince region of Haiti, with participation by Williams, Shreve and Rand. A six-month visit by Dr. P. E. Vanzolini of Sao Paulo brought a long delayed revision of South American chelids near completion. In addition, Dr. Vanzolini completed a re- vision of South American Lezocephalus and a study of the Gonadotes albogularis-fuscus complex in Colombia. Dr. Wil- liams collaborated with Dr. T. S. Parsons in the description of the detailed morphology of two Jurassic turtle skulls and in a discussion of the modern Amphibia. Mr. Shreve continued work on the Sphaerodactylus difficilis group and completed descriptions of two new species of Eleutherodactylus from Haiti. Associate Garth Underwood studied scale organs in snakes as well as certain aspects of their visceral anatomy with 5 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY a view to testing the utility of these characters in an analysis of snake phylogeny. Two visitors spent the year in the de- partment doing full time research. Dr. J. M. Gallardo of Buenos Aires studied our South American frogs and completed a study of the subspecies of Bufo granulosus and of the family Pseudidae. Dr. R. V. Shah completed three projects, including a study of the closing mechanisms in turtles with hinged shells, a study of lung musculature in turtles and a comparison of the neck musculature in the pleurodire turtle Chelodina and the cryptodire Deirochelys. Dr. Bigelow and Mr. Schroeder worked on a collection of elasmobranchs trawled in the Gulf of Mexico and southward to the mouth of the Amazon by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Dr. Bigelow and Dr. George Myers worked on a re- vision of the engraulid and clupeid fishes, based on a manu- script prepared years ago by Dr. Samuel F. Hildebrand — this for volume III of Fishes of the Western North Atlantic. Mrs. Dick aided in this work and also studied the Haplomi. In the department of insects, Dr. Darlington completed a 4oo-page installment of work on carabid beetles of New Guinea. Dr. Brown, with the cooperation of Dr. Walter Kempf, finished a monograph of the ant tribe Basicerotini and continued ant taxonomic studies especially on Dacetini and Ponerini. Dr. Levi revised the American spiders of the family Theriduiidae, under a grant from the National Institute of Health. Dr. Wil- son did further work on the Pacific ant fauna and on the social behavior of ants, the most interesting aspect of which was the working out in several species of a large section of the “chem1- cal language” —1.e., glandular secretions used in communica- tion. Dr. Chapin continued work on coccinellid beetles, par- ticularly those of Micronesia. Dr. Chickering continued work on Neotropical spiders and Dr. Fairchild on Neotropical biting flies. In connection with his work on Lepidoptera, Professor Forbes is in the last stages 6 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY of proofreading of the final part of his “Lepidoptera of New York.” Dr. A. Holm of the University of Uppsala worked up the Lindroth collection of Alaskan spiders. Mr. Allen Brady revised the spider genus Sostppus (Lycosidae). Dr. Carpenter, in addition to continuing studies of Permian insects from Oklahoma and Kansas completed manuscript and illustrations for the insect volume of the Treatise on Inverte- brate Paleontology. In the Department of Mollusks, the number of Johnsonia monographing the western Atlantic forms of the large genus Calliostoma was completed by Drs. Clench and Turner and is in press. They are also continuing work in the Melanesian land snails of the subfamily Papuininae. Dr. Clench finished work on two island groups in his continuing studies of land and freshwater mollusks of the Bahamas. Dr. Turner has con- tinued her interest in West Indian land shells; a report on Navassa Island has been completed and published. She has begun work on the land shells of the Seychelles Islands as a result of material received for study from the Yale expedition to those islands and has described a nematode parasite in Stylondon. Her work on a catalogue of the Teredinidae is well advanced. Mr. Richard Johnson has completed a bibliography of A. A. Gould. Dr. Deichmann has completed a report on New England shallow water echinoderms on the basis of a manuscript by James Miller, is preparing field guides for the horny and stony corals of the shallow water of Puerto Rico and, with Richard A. Boolootian is preparing a report on Selenka’s Thelenota formosa, rediscovered in the Marshall Islands. In the area of vertebrate paleontology, Dr. Edinger pro- gressed in her long-term studies on various aspects of brain evolution as revealed by endocranial casts. Professor Patterson has continued his interest in the early evolution of mammals MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY as well as in the Tertiary faunas of South America. Dr. Simp- son has been mainly concerned with completion of a volume on principles of animal taxonomy, but has written a number of brief, largely theoretical papers and made some progress on studies of mammalian classification, and on Tertiary stratigraphy of America and Europe. Such time as I have been able to devote to research has centered on lower tetrapods from the Carboniferous, and from the Triassic of South America. Dr. Barry Cox of King’s College, University of London, spent the year with us as a Harkness Fellow and made a thorough study of our Triassic dicynodonts from Brasil and Argentina. The project of a bibliography of the literature of vertebrate paleon- tology, in which I have been engaged for many years with Miss Wright, Dr. Edinger and more recently, Mr. Richard Van Frank, is at long last approaching completion; about half has been typed ready for publication by photo-lithography. During the year Dr. Whittington made various studies of Ordovician and Silurian trilobites and completed work for pub- lication on trilobites from the Silurian of Arctic North America and the Ordovician of Nevada and Newfoundland. Substan- tial progress was made with further studies of trilobites from Newfoundland and from the Middle Ordovician of the Bala region of Wales. Dr. Kummel completed work on Triassic faunas from New Zealand and on a fauna of similar age from Thailand. He has, further, completed his major section of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology dealing with nautiloids, and finished work on Triassic faunas from Nevada and Spitz- bergen, and Triassic nautiloids of the Middle East. Work on a monographic study of early Triassic faunas of the western United States is in progress. EXPEDITIONS AND [TRAVEL No major expeditions were sponsored during the year, but as usual many trips were undertaken by staff members for field 8 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY and museum studies and for collection of materials. Dr. Mayr took advantage of his invitation to Australia to do field work there as well as to visit various universities and institutions on that continent and in India. Dr. Paynter worked briefly in Guatemala and visited Ecuador, where he investigated the possibilities for future field work. Mr. Schevill participated in cruises of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. All four of the Greater Antilles were visited by Dr. Williams, who studied the ecology and behavior of lizards of those islands. Drs. Juan Rivero, Rodolfo Ruibal, Garth Underwood, and Mr. A. S. Rand participated in phases of this expedition. Dr. Brown spent some three weeks working on Barro Colorado Island in the Canal Zone; Dr. Wilson traveled in Costa Rica and Dr. Levi, as customary, worked last summer at the Rocky Moun- tain Biological Laboratory. Mr. Foster collected mollusks in Antigua, and Dr. Kummel collected invertebrate fossils from all known horizons of the Nevada Triassic. Dr. Turner fur- thered her work in boring mollusks by spending two and one- half months in the study of the collections of Teredinidae in European museums. COLLECTIONS During the year, funds from the substantial grant from the National Science Foundation, previously reported, have been used by every department for the improvement of the collec- tions. New storage cases have been constructed to replace inadequate temporary housing and new equipment has been purchased. Even more important from the standpoint of the collections has been the use of some of the funds for the em- ployment of both scientific and technical aides in sorting, iden- tifying, and cataloguing accumulations of valuable materials received in past years. In the mammal department, much work was done on re- organization of the collections, in re-arrangement, making a 2 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY shelf-check and, as far as possible, revising the taxonomy. Mrs. Katherine M. Reed completed the geographic index to the collections and Charles Mack cleaned a large accumulation of old skeletons. In ornithology, about half the entire skeletal collection has been identified, boxed and arranged. Mr. Frank B. Smithe added a considerable number of specimens to the Guatemalan collection; we now have the best Petén collection in existence, the skeletal specimens being particularly valuable. About 70 Pakistan birds have been received from the Zoological Survey Department of that country. Some 57 skeletal speci- mens have been purchased from M. Alvarez del Toro to strengthen our Central American holdings, already excellent. Through the generosity of Mr. Alva Morrison we have ob- tained about 150 birds from South Africa, especially valuable because of the collection’s strength in topotypic-material. In herpetology, over 2800 reptiles and amphibians were cata- logued during the year; however, a substantial backlog of uncatalogued material remains. Important additions include: a collection made in Dominica by James D. Lazell, Jr.; a Haitian collection made by the Curator and A. S. Rand, and one from Puerto Rico by the latter; Cuban specimens collected by R. Ruibal; a small but very valuable lot of Mexican forms donated by R. Etheridge; a large New Guinea collection given by K. R. Slater; Australian skinks and Kansas amphibians and reptiles donated by Gary Myers. Exchanges were completed with the following institutions: University of Malaya; De- partamento de Zoologia, Sao Paulo; Peabody Museum, Yale University; Chicago Natural History Museum; University of Southern California; University of Tel Aviv; Institute de la Salle, Bogota; Institut Scientifique Cherifien; Museum Royale du Congo Belge. Under the facilities grant a number of new cabinets were built. In the fish department 274 lots were added, including: a TO MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY large Galapagos collection from Otis Barton; many elasmo- branchs and other fishes from the Gulf of Mexico, given by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service through Harvey Bullis, Jr.; a collection from the Boston Museum of Science. A considerable amount of work was done in the department of insects under the facilities grant, particularly in transferring insects from old, miscellaneous boxes to trays in standard drawers. The biggest advances in this regard were in North American beetles, in which the transfer of the Liebeck collec- tion is now almost complete, and in ants. The putting of the entire ant collection in first class order by Dr. Brown before leaving for Cornell is an outstanding curatorial achievement. In the spider collection, the work of placing previously iden- tified and sorted specimens in mason jars, or in vials with neoprene stoppers, has been nearly completed after four years of work, and progress has been made in sorting and putting in place previously unsorted accessions. An outstanding ac- cession is the collection of ants presented by Dr. James W. Chapman; this is probably the best collection of Philippine ants in existence, and fills an important gap in our collection. In the mollusk department, curatorial work on the collec- tion continued in various areas. A total of 4764 lots was re- ceived from a variety of sources. Of two most important collections added during the year, one was made by Dr. George Moore in the Gulf of Thailand during his residence as a visiting professor at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand; a second, donated by Dr. Joseph Bequaert, contains over 1000 lots of land and freshwater shells from Texas and Mexico. This latter col- lection, added to previous gifts from Dr. Bequaert, gives us the most complete existing collection from Texas. The department of marine invertebrates received as a gift from the Hancock Foundation of the University of Southern California a complete set of the aspidochirote holothurians of the Panama region. Since no one locally is engaged in work II MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY on parasitic worms, the museum’s excellent collection, assembled by Dr. J. H. Sandground, has been sent on indefinite loan to the University of Massachusetts where active work is being done in this field. In vertebrate paleontology a very considerable amount of progress has been made in the preparation of the large collec- tion from the Argentine Triassic with the support of a National Science Foundation grant for the purpose, and further work has been done on fossil mammal materials and on Carbonif- erous and Permian tetrapods. In invertebrate paleontology, much progress has been made, thanks to the facilities grant, in cleaning, cataloging and re-arranging the echinoderm, brachio- pod and trilobite collections. Some 3500 new entries have been made in the catalogues. Some additions have been made to the trilobite collections. In Dr. Kummel’s field of interest in the Triassic, the U.S. Geological Survey has donated casts of all Triassic invertebrates described in Survey publications. Bonn University has given plastotypes of Timor Triassic ammonites, and the Canadian Geological Survey has furnished us with 25 Triassic plastotypes. PUBLICATIONS During the year there were published, under Miss Wright’s editorship, a total of 1152 pages in the Bulletin and in Breviora. These include volume 121 nos. 3 to 8, volume 122, nos. I to g in the Bulletin and numbers 112 to 126 of Breviora. As customary the Museum sponsored publication of a series of papers in Psyche. Research publications by the staff, as listed in an ap- pendix, numbered over fourscore, including such substantial work as a completely revised edition of Quantitative Zoology by Simpson, Roe and Lewontin and volume IX of the Check- List of Birds of the World. I2 MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY LIBRARY The library, under Miss MacKenzie, reports steady growth and improvement; currently our holdings number 242,638 books and pamphlets. Use of National Science Foundation funds and of an anonymous gift for the geology section have aided in further reducing the backlog of binding. Our geologi- cal holdings, once relatively weak, continue to improve; cur- rently, for example, we are receiving the publications of almost every known geological survey, state and foreign. The areas of the library now devoted to geological books and journals have in consequence become badly congested, and it is hoped that a new room devoted to geology can presently be opened up at the far end of the east wing. A notable acquisition of the year was the collection of Dr. Oliver L. Austin, Jr., on Japanese ornithology which, with the exception of one rarity, includes every work of importance on the subject and is rivalled in comprehensiveness by but one Japanese institution. An ex- tensive exhibit of rare and finely illustrated books from our collections, shown in Widener Library during the period of our centennial celebration, evoked very favorable comment. EXHIBITS In our continuing project of renovation of the exhibition halls, a room containing a great part of our fossil mammals is nearly completed, and work has been commenced on a revised exhibit of invertebrate fossils. It has been impossible to finance this renovation from regular endowment income; the work has been made possible by special gifts which are, unfortunately, nearly exhausted. It is to be hoped that friends of the Museum interested in the type of popular education which such exhibits advance will enable us to continue. Meantime, we have been able to add a modest source of income through the establish- ment, under Dr. Paynter’s direction, of a booth for the sale of natural history materials. ‘ MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A number of gifts were noted above; the various departments are in addition grateful to numerous other donors for dona- tions of specimens.
