CaRL E. AKELEY. aN NUAE, REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 1907. To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History: I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum for the year ending December 31, 1907. The Museum has operated one year under its new By-Laws, whose complete revision was demanded by the establishment of its scope and the definition of its endowment. In revising the rules and regulations governing the staff of the Museum, the responsibilities and authority of the various officers and their relations to each other were clearly set forth, and the experiences of the year under these | rules, have satisfactorily tested their rationality and effectiveness. The rearrangement of the financial and executive system of the Institution, including the election of an Auditor, has simplified and unified the business of the Museum. A most important event of the year was a contribution from Mrs. T. B. Blackstone to defray the expenses of an expedition to Tibet, for collecting and study. Dr. Berthold Laufer lately of Columbia University accepted the charge of this expedition and is to devote three years to the work. Further reference to this expedition is made elsewhere. The controversy as to the site in Grant Park for the new Museum building has made progress in the Courts, but at the date of this report remains undecided. Much attention has been given to the interior plans of the new structure, more especially to the suites of offices, the location and arrangement of the lecture halls, the admission of visitors, checking systems, etc. Maintenance. The sum of $161,750 was appropriated by the Trustees for the necessary expenses of maintenance during the fiscal year. The actual amount expended was $135,512, leaving a balance within the anticipated expenses of the year of $26,238. In addition to the cost of maintenance, sums were expended, upon authority of the Board of Trustees, for collections, books, expeditions, field work, and exhibition cases, that brought the total to approximately $180,000. This left a balance within the estimated income of $16,000. Com- paring the expenses of maintenance of this year with those of previous ee 114 Fretp Museum or NaturAL History — Reports. Vot. III. years, a slight increase is discovered in the compensation of the staff and assistants, and in amounts expended for material for maintenance and repairs to the building. The matter of repairing and calcimining the exterior walls of the Museum has received considerable attention, and a contrivance introduced by Mr. Akeley, Chief Taxidermist, seems to have solved the problem, and the entire North front of the Museum and most of the two Annexes have received an outward application of stucco, greatly improving the appearance of the build- ing. It is the intention to complete the work as soon as weather conditions allow. STAFF OF THE Museum.— One addition was made during the year to the Staff, that being the appointment of Dr. Berthold Laufer as Assistant Curator of Asiatic Ethnology. Dr. Laufer is a graduate of the University of Berlin and has for over ten years been a student of Chinese and Tibetan culture. He has been associated with the Museum ftir V6lkerkunde, of Berlin; conducted two expeditions into Asia for the American Museum of Natural History; one into Siberia and the other into China, both in the interest of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition. More recently Dr. Laufer has been associated with the Department of Chinese, Columbia University. Lecture Courses.— Two series of Lectures have been given since the date of the last Annual Report, which were illustrated, and covered an unusually wide range of research and travel. The lectures are given at Fullerton Hall, in the Art Institute, and the attendance of the public indicates a continued interest in this means of public instruction. Following is the Twenty-sixth Lecture Course, with the subjects and lecturers delivered during the months of March and April, 1907: March 2.—‘‘The Iron Ores of the Minnesota Ranges.” Prof. C. W.

Through the medium of exchange with contemporary institutions, upon which the library depends largely for its growth, it continues to receive valuable publications. Exchanges have been received from 583 institutions and 130 individuals. Gifts to the General Library worthy of special mention have been received from Mr. Stephen Sommier, Florence, Italy, 1 volume; Mr. Theodor Koch-Grunberg, Berlin, 4 volumes; Mr. John W. Barrett, Washington, D. C.,10 volumes; Mr. H. N. Higin- botham, Chicago, 28 volumes; Mr. Frederick J. V. Skiff, 81 volumes; Naturhistorische Verein, Bonn, 58 volumes; Naturforschende Gesell- schaft, Zurich, 47 volumes; Royal Society, London, 38 volumes; Geological Survey of Canada, 12 volumes; Maryland Geological Survey, 7 volumes. Twelve installments of the John Crerar Library cards have been received, alphabetically arranged, and filed; 11,211 cards have been written and distributed in the catalogue. A special feature of the work during the year has been the formation of a Library of Exposition Literature. The volumes presented for the formation of this library by Sir Henry Trueman Wood, Commissioner to the World’s Columbian Exposition, Mr. H. N. Higinbotham, President of the World’s Columbian Exposition, and Frederick J. V. Skiff, approx- imated 1,100 books and pamphlets. From this collection, 668 titles have been selected, chronologically arranged, accessioned, catalogued, and installed in a special room provided for the purpose. The un- bound books are at present in the bindery, and the miscellaneous pamphlets will be filed in neat cloth boxes. The whole forms a very creditable reference library of literature on Expositions from 1851 to 1904. The duplicates of this material have been arranged in three groups. Group 1 contains 260 titles, group 2 contains 156 120 609>FrELD MuseuM oF NaTuRAL History — Reports, Vot. III. titles, group 3 contains 88 titles. These several groups have been packed separately, and await further disposition. A number of valuable books have been purchased during the year, but many more are desired, particularly in the departments of Anthropology and Botany. DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING AND LaBeLinc.— The catalog- uing in the Department of Anthropology has been continued almost without interruption throughout the year, over 12,000 specimens having been catalogued, and a card catalogue made of about 7,500 specimens, all of which have been entered in the inventory books, which now number twenty-seven. All the specimens of a number of installed cases in the Department of Botany have been exhaustively labeled; all labels for the dendro- logic installation are printed and in readiness for use. The copy has been written for all the unlabeled material that has been installed; all new material has been properly organized, catalogued and cared for; the index of vernacular names and references augmented by several thousand cards, and all matters pertaining to the collec- tions and work of the department kept rigidly up to date. Specimens in the Department of Geology are inventoried and catalogued as received. The total number of entries made during the year is 10,635, which, added to the previously recorded number, gives 72,837 as the total present number of entries in the Department. The principal work of labeling performed was in connection with the systematic mineral collection and the collections in Hall 78. For the systematic minerals a total of 1,925 labels was prepared during the year, of which 1,536 have been printed and distributed. The sizes of labels used for this collection are governed by those of the specimen mounts, four different forms being employed. For the collections in Hall 78, 957 labels have been prepared, of which 838 have been printed and distributed. These labels also vary in size, according to the size of the mount, three forms being employed, besides descriptive labels. Aluminum ink and black cardboard have been used for all these labels. The increased interest evinced by visitors in these collections since the labeling has been completed is noticeable and gratifying. Additional labels prepared during the year have included fourteen fully descriptive labels for the relief maps and about one hundred labels for meteorites and paleontological specimens. In the Department of Zodlogy considerable clerical work was accomplished, the entries in the inventory books registering 9,445, JAN., 1908.

In the Division of Ornithology over 7,000 labels were prepared, and attached to the specimens in the study collection.

Foremost among these is the material obtained by Assistant Curator Simms from the Igorot tribes of northern Luzon, chiefly from the prov- inces of Lepanto, Bontoc, and Nueva Vizcaya. Mr. Simms remained many months in this region, as noted in the last report, engaged in investigation under the Robert F. Cummings fund. The collection is probably the largest and most representative ever made from any one tribe in the Island. Second in importance is a large and representa- tive collection of ethnological specimens, illustrating the culture of the Sauk and Fox Indians, of Tama, Iowa, made by Dr. William Jones. This collection admirably supplements one made at the same place several years ago by the Curator of the Department. As aresult of the expedition from the Department of Zodlogy in British East Africa, Mr. C. E. Akeley brought back several hundred unusually interesting specimens, representative of the culture of several tribes of that region. Mr. V. Shaw Kennedy, who accompanied Mr. Akeley on that expedi- tion, brought a number of specimens to Chicago with him, and has presented them to the Museum. From Vice-president Ryerson has been received, asa gift, asmall but valuable collection made a few years ago by Curator Cory among the Seminoles of Florida. From Tuan Fang, a viceroy of The Two Kiang Provinces, China, was received a very interesting, ancient Chinese monument, bearing inscriptions in excellent state of preservation. This gift of the Viceroy was to commemorate his visit to this Institution. Of the collections ac- quired by purchase, the largest was that secured from a well-known 122 Fretp Museum or NaTuRAL History — Reports, Vou. III. London dealer in ethnological material. This collection consisted almost exclusively of rare specimens from different islands of the Pacific, especially Polynesia, and some unusually interesting material from Benin, West Africa. The most notable specimens in this collection are four beautifully carved ceremonial clubs from the Marquesas Islands. From Mr. Irving Channon, for many years a missionary to Micronesia, was secured by purchase a collec- tion of several hundred specimens from that region, especially from the Marshall and Gilbert groups. These specimens are of more than usual value, for they were collected personally by Mr. Channon, and are thoroughly identified as to locality. From Mr. Rudolph Parkin- son, Ralum, Bismarck Archipelago, was secured by purchase seventy- seven skulls from New Britain. Two exchanges with other institu- tions have been made during the year, which are worthy of mention. One is with the Brooklyn Institute Museum, whereby this Institution secured a large quantity of osteological material from the Southwest, and a small, but carefully selected collection of ethnological specimens from the peublo of Zuni. Arrangements were made during the year whereby the Museum expects to receive shortly from the Museum fir Volkerkunde, of Berlin, a considerable portion of the great collec- tion made in the interior of Brazil by Theodore Koch. Word has been received by the Museum that Mr. Cole has shipped from Manila a very large collection of ethnological material, which he has accumu- lated during his two years’ residence with the Tinguianes, in north- western Luzon, especially in the province of Abra. In the Department of Botany the most important accession during the year is the complete herbarium of the University of Chicago, founded upon the collections of Prof. John M. Coulter, and augmented under his direction. This herbarium has been entirely rearranged for the purpose of cataloguing and distribution into the organized herbarium of the Museum. It is found to con- tain about 51,000 specimens,’of which about three fourths are mounted. The principal collectors represented by fairly complete sets are: O.-D. Allen; Baker, Earle & Tracy; John Ball, Thomas H. Bonser, Wm. Canby, M. A. Carleton, John M. Coulter, A. H. Curtiss, Drake & Dickson, B. W. Evermann, M. L. Fernald, Heyde & Lux, Volney Havard, F. H.

Another important herbarium has been secured in that of the noted Swedish botanist, Dr. L. J. Wahlstedt. The collection numbers approximately 15,000 specimens, chiefly of European plants, and is especially rich in Characee, Viole, and Eptlobia. The Characee alone are represented by upwards of 2200 critically determined speci- mens, and the Viole by about 1500 specimens. Some of the more noteworthy series of exsiccate, illustrating these groups of plants included in the herbarium, are the following: Dze Characeen Europa’s in getrockneten Exemplaren, Prof. Dr. A. Braun, Dr. L. Raben- horst and Dr. E. Stizenberger; Characee Americaneé exsiccate, T. F. Allen; Characee Scandinavie exsiccate quas distribuerunt O. Nordstedt et L. J.

Areschoug; Viole Suecie exsiccate, Neuman, Wahlstedt, Murbeck; Viole exsiccate, W. Becker. The Wahlstedt herbarium also con- tains many other important collections, including the excellent series, Marsiliacee in horto Berolinense culte, edite 1870, A. Braun; Flora exsiccata, and Rosarum Europearum exsiccatarum, M. Gandoger. The other notable acquisitions are: G. M. Emerick, Mexico, 257; Barbados Botanic Station, 115; C.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 129 leaving for the Philippines, Dr. Jones spent a month among the Sauk and Fox Indians of Tama, Iowa, making a study of their material culture, and obtaining specimens for the Museum. Through the generosity of Mrs. T. B. Blackstone, who has recently provided a fund, the department has been able to add to its staff Dr. Berthold Laufer, who is now making preparation to start for a three years’ period of investigation in Tibet. This gift of Mrs. Blackstone marks a new era in the history of the department. It is not only the largest sum ever set aside for one specific object, but it enables the depart- ment to undertake an investigation of almost universal interest, and to place in charge of it one thoroughly competent. Asa result of the Blackstone Tibetan Expedition, it is expected that not only will there be assembled a great collection illustrating every phase of the material culture of the Tibetans, which will be of the very greatest value to all students of the history of Asiatic culture, but it is believed that, through Dr. Laufer’s investigation in early Tibetan literature, he will make material contributions to the general history of human culture. In this connection, it is interesting to note that the New- berry Library has made a special contribution of $4,000.00, which is to be expended by Dr. Laufer, during his three year’s residence in Asia, in the purchase of a library of Tibetan literature. The Curator of the Department of Botany, in company of Dr. N. L. Britton, Director of the New York Botanical Garden, spent ten weeks of the early spring in a continuance of their explorations of the Bahamian Archipelago. A schooner was chartered and com- missioned, at Nassau, from which large and particularly exhaustive collections were made on Eleuthera, Cat Island, Conception Island, Little San Salvador, Long Island and Watling’s. All these islands were crossed afoot at several points, and traversed for considerable distance in all directions, from a number of landing places. The expedi- tion returned about two thousand specimens, and secured critical notes, observations, and photographs of fully fifteen hundred more. This work was also augmented by commissioning Mr. Louis J. K. Brace to explore thoroughly Acklin’s Island, Crooked Island, Fortune Island, and the north end and northwest side of Andros. His work resulted in two thousand additional specimens from these interesting localities. Another expedition, in continuance of this same work, was sent out in December, consisting of Dr. M. A. Howe, Mr. Percy Wilson, and Louis Brace; they are to undertake the southeastern islands of the group— French Cays, Samana, Mariguan, the Caicos, 130 Fretp Museum or NaturaL History — Reports, Vo. III. and the Ragged Cays. Mr. Huron H. Smith, Preparator in Dendro- logy, spent six weeks in southeastern Missouri, at three forest points, in the collection of North American Forestry material. The collec- tions, amounting to over a car load of material, will be reported upon later. Mr. O. E. Lansing, Jr., has continued his field work in the Lake Chicago Basin, adding a number of species to his quite exhaus- tive series from this region. The Curator of the Department of Geology collected a series of ores, minerals, and rocks from various localities on the north shore of Lake Superior during a trip made to that region in July. Some valuable geological photographs of the region were also made. Pho- tographs illustrating the ancient shore-lines of Lake Chicago, designed for exhibiting in connection with the relief map of the region, were also made by the Curator during the fall. Mr. A. W. Slocom carried on some collecting in the region of Little Traverse Bay, Michigan, continuing the work of last year. Especially fine series which he secured were those of fossil corals, stromatoporoids and brachiopods. Pleistocene fossils, from the marls of Oden and Kegomic, were also obtained. Inall about nine hundred specimens were obtained, which, added to those collected last year, afford a representative series of the Hamilton and Pleistocene fossils of the region. Occasional visits were also made by Mr. Slocom to quarries in the Chicago Basin, for the purpose of securing any new material excavated. From this material, and that previously secured, he described during the year nine new species of crinoids. No field work was undertaken in vertebrate paleontology, the work of erecting the Dinosaur skeleton having, of necessity, engrossed the entire attention of the staff. At the date of the last Report, the African expedition was on its way back to the United States. Mr. C. E. Akeley, the Chief of the Expedition, provides the following narrative: “We left Chicago August 13, 1905, arriving in London August 26th, where we joined Mr. Vernon Shaw-Kennedy, who had gone on some weeks in advance for the purpose of preparing the outfit, most of which, consisting of supplies, food, tents, amunition, photographic material, etc., was purchased in London. Mr. Edmund Heller, who had been called from field work in Central America to accompany the expedition, overtook us in London, and on September 8th, we sailed from Dover by the S. S. President of the D. O. A. Line, arriving at Mombasa, East Coast of Africa, on October 8th. Our goods were duly landed, passed through the customs; porters, gun-bearers, and _ JAN., 1908. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. seo personal servants were engaged, licenses procured, and on October 14th, we boarded a train on the Uganda Railway and on the following day arrived at Nairobi, 327 miles inland. October 18th, we began active operations in the field, within twenty-five miles of Nairobi, on the Athi Plains. Two anda half months were spent in this region, and in the number of specimens collected, this was the most productive period of the entire trip. On December 30th we moved our camp, by rail, to Kijabe, forty-four miles up the line, for the purpose of securing a series of Cape Buffalo. A month spent here resulted in obtaining only a single specimen of Buffalo and a fair number of other specimens, among which were a series of Colobus Monkeys and a Rhinosceros. The following month (February) was spent at Lake Elementeita, fifty miles northwest of Kijabi, and this proved a reasonably profitable month. About March 8th the outfit was again moved by rail to Molo, 484 miles from the coast, where we went into camp some twelve miles south of the railway. Our stay here was made exceedingly un- pleasant by the incessant cold rains, and failure, again, to secure Buffalo contributed to our discomfiture. We were fairly recom- pensed, however, for the time spent, by the addition to our collections of a series of Topi, a series of Jackson’s Harteebest, a very fine male lion, and a number of smaller mammals. Early in April we returned coastwards to Voi, 100 miles inland from Mombasa. We had post- poned our visit to Voi until the last because of the unhealthfulness of the region, and the two weeks spent there resulted in a meagre showing of material collected, owing to fever attacking two of our party, as well as a large number of the employed natives. The caravan was discharged at the close of our work at this place, and we returned to Nairobi, and proceeded to pack the collections for shipment. Messers. Shaw-Kennedy and Heller made preparations to return home at this time. The work of packing the collections occupied five weeks, the lack of proper facilities making it a tedious task; fifty barrels that had been ordered from London proved use- less, and obliged us to resort to the use of old oil casks obtained from the Railway Company. About May rst, upon receipt of instructions from the Museum authorities, application was made for permission to cross the Tana River in quest of Buffalo, which was granted, on the understanding that we were not to avail ourselves of the privilege until July. It was therefore decided to employ the intervening time in collecting accessory material for some of the groups, specimens for which had been previously secured. Accordingly, about June rst, we 132 Frerp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. III. engaged the necessary porters and returned to Athi Plains, where three weeks were spent at Kijabe in making studies for Lion and other groups, and three days in gathering accessory material for a Colobus Monkey group. We then moved to Naivasha (June 28th), with the intention of collecting birds and accessories for a group of the aquatic birds of the Lake Naivasha region. Upon our arrival at the lake, we learned that a closed season had been declared, but, anticipating no difficulty in securing permission to collect the limited amount of material required, application was made to the authorities, who, much to our surprise, refused the desired privileges. Ten days were lost in awaiting this disappointing decision. The trans-Tana trip had been indefinitely postponed on account of trouble with the natives at the base of Mt. Kenya, where the government had sent troops, and were at this time, July roth, engaged in warfare, but as it seemed likely that the trouble was nearing the end, the services of Mr. R. J. Cunningham, professional hunter and safari runner, were secured, and we headed for Fort Hall and the Tana River, with the intention of looking for Elephants on the way; three weeks were spent on the Aberdare Mountains, during which time we prepared the skin of one Elephant, a series of Duiker, and a number of other specimens. Upon our arrival at Fort Hall, August 14th, we found H. M. Commissioner, Col. Hayes-Sadler, with his suite, about to depart in company with the Sub-Commissioner, Mr. S. L. Hinde, on a trip into trans-Tana country. Permission was given us to shoot Elephants on Mt. Kenya, as well as Buffalo on the plains. We were honored with an invitation from the Commissioner to accompany the official party so far as our routes paralleled, an invitation which was gratefully accepted. A week later, the edge of the forest at the base of Mt. Kenya was reached, and here work with the Elephants was begun. The five weeks spent among the Elephants was emi- nently satisfactory in point of experience, and knowledge gained of the habits of these interesting animals, but disappointing in that we failed, for want of time, in securing all the specimens required for the group. The return from Mt. Kenya to the Tana River was distressingly slow and tedious, owing to the difficulties encountered in securing porters to move the material, but the Tana was finally reached on October 2nd, and a few days later we proceeded down the river in search of Buffalo. Some six weeks elapsed before we finally succeeded in securing the last of the six specimens desired. The three months in trans-Tana country were months of hard work — ie a y m. ¢ OPE i oT] °@ wi ¥ ' s ; 7 ’ Js Taz UPRARY OF THE ; é ads ——— SMIVERSITY fF ILLINDIS ‘ i} : 5 | } i * ‘yg ¥ re i v vr REPORTS PL.

Wereturned to Fort Hall on November 22nd, and with 175 porters proceeded to Nairobi with the collections. Mr. Cunningham returned by way of the Aberdare, to bring in the Ele- phant and other skins that had been left on the summit of the moun- tains, nearly four months previously. We reached Nairobi Novem- ber 27th and proceeded with the final packing of the collection, which was shipped by rail to Mombasa, which port it left December 2ztst, on the S.S. Admiral; trans-shipped at Naples, and arrived at New York January 28th. The consignment of 84 packages, weighing upwards of 17 tons, arrived at the Museum in perfect condition.”’ It seems a fitting opportunity for both the Museum management and the members of the expedition to express their gratitude to those who, through friendly interest and appreciation of the objects of the expedition, contributed to its success: to Mr. Vernon Shaw- Kennedy, for his untiring energy and loyalty to the best interests of the Museum; to Col. Hayes-Sadler, H. M. Commissioner for British East Africa, and Mr. F. J. Jackson, H. M. Deputy Commissioner, for many privileges and concessions which, by virtue of their high offices, they were able to grant; to Mr. S. L. Hinde, H. M. Sub-Commissioner for Kenya Province, the expedition was indebted for more than official assistance; and to Mr. A. Blayney Percival, Game Ranger, whose fund of information relative to the game districts was always avail- able. Acknowledgment is also made of courtesies and concessions granted by the officials of the Uganda Railway, and for the hos- pitality and good-will accorded the expedition by all government officials with whom the members of the party were brought in contact.

INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT. — At the end of last year the Department of Anthropology reported that more material awaited installation than at any previous time for ten years. This condition was due to the fact that the accessions for two years had been extremely large and numerous. The necessity for resorting to various makeshifts in order to store this great body of material has existed during part of the present year. Late in the year, however, 40 new cases became available, which, at once, made possible a general rearrangement of certain collections of the depart- ment. Since the arrival of the new cases, the following collections have been installed: Arapaho, Wasco, Pawnee and Javanese. The extensive collection from Borneo has also been installed, as well as a large part of the collections from Africa. For these collections, however, old cases have been utilized; those from Africa in cases that had been abandoned by the Departments of Geology and Botany. The material from the first Cummings’ Philippine Expedition has been installed in Halls 40 and 55, and occupies 28 cases. The new cases have made it possible to remove many collections which have been temporarily installed in Hall 8, and that hall has now been restored to its former condition, and is again devoted exclusively to the archeology of the Southwest. Hall 7 is temporarily occupied by Taxidermy, but it will ultimately receive the overflow collections, both archeological and ethnological, of the Southwest. A portion of the East Annex has been transferred to the Department of Anthro- pology, and this additional space has made possible an extremely desirable change. There has been transferred to the Annex all collections from regions outside of America, and the provisional JAN., 1908. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 135 assignment of space at the present time is as follows: Halls 38, 39, 40, 41 and 55, Indonesia; Hall 54, Polynesia and Micronesia; Hall 53, Melanesia; Halls 50-52, Africa; Halls 56-58, Asia. This installation of the collections from the South Pacific and Asia, has made possible the rearrangement of Halls 2, 5, and 6, which are now devoted, as are Halls 1, 3 and 4, to North American ethnology. Mr. J. A. Burt, aside from assisting in the installation of several collections during the year, has carried to completion two interesting and important groups in miniature of the Pawnee, and is well advanced on three additional groups, one being Pawnee, and two Sauk and Fox. The two latter groups have been prepared under the direction of Dr. William Jones. The collection of ceramics having been removed from Hall 33, the Paleozoic fossils, heretofore exhibited in Hall 35, were transferred thereto. This necessitated the removal of the specimens from ten floor and eight wall cases, moving of the cases, and reinstallation of the specimens. Advantage was taken of the opportunity, also, to thor- oughly rearrange the collection. The vacated hall, Hall 35, has been cleared for the exhibition of Dinosaurs, a large amount of this material now being ready for exhibition. In the center of the hall the great Dinosaur torso collected in Colorado by the Museum expedition of 1901, is being erected. This work is of such magni- tude that it has occupied nearly the entire time of Assistant Curator Riggs and assistants during the year and is not yet complete. The torso consists of a nearly complete skeleton posterior to the last cervical vertebra, and is of interest as containing the largest number of bones of an individual Dinosaur of such a size ever mounted. The aggregate weight of the bones is about five tons and when mounted they stand fifteen feet above the floor at their highest point. In order to support this great weight and prevent swaying, it was neces- sary to construct a special framework of structural steel. This consists of a base surmounted by a superstructure, to support the specimen proper. The base has the form of a rectangle, measuring eight by thirty feet. It is made up of two longitudinal channel beams joined together at the ends by transverse beams of the same. Four trans- verse I-beams, intersected by a single line of longitudinal I-beams act as girders and form a series of four crosses in the median line for the support of the vertical columns. All are firmly bolted together at the intersections by means of angles, asin ordinary structural iron work. Four vertical columns support the weight of the specimen. 136 Fretp Museum or NaturaAL History — Reports, Vo. III. These columns are each made up of four angle-beams joined together by means of solid ‘‘fillers,’’ and all firmly riveted with flush-head rivets. They vary in size according to the load which they are designed to carry. Each column is braced at its base by four gussets, which are bolted respectively to the four intersecting I-beams, and riveted between the angle-irons of the column in place of the “filler.” The four vertical columns support a longitudinal T-beam, firmly bolted to their upper ends. The angles formed by the two are tied by short diagonal braces. The T-beam forms the support of the vertebral column, and is bent so as to conform closely to its inferior outline. It is tapered towards the rear end, so that its size is reduced in proportion to the load it is intended to receive. The individual bones are fastened to this framework by forgings of wrought iron. These supports are bent to conform closely to the surface of the bone in order to be as inconspicuous as possible. They attach to the bones, in most instances, by being bent so as to clasp them firmly. Work on the mount has progressed so that the greater part of the vertebral column is now in place. Many of the bones were so dis- torted as to require considerable modification before they could be fitted into their respective positions in the skeleton. A missing femur and ilium have been supplied by modeling them in plaster from the corresponding bones of the opposite side, and several ribs and chevrons have been restored as a whole or in part. As it was found necessary to perform a large part of the shaping of the steel contiguous to the skeleton, a gas forge was placed upon the west porch of Hall 35, so as to provide facilities for heating the individual steel pieces. A temporary sheet-iron shed erected over this permits continuance of the work during the winter months. In the cases left vacant in Hall 36 by removal of portions of the dinosaur skeleton for mounting, there have been installed a sacrum and seven dorsal vertebre of Brachiosaurus, and some minor specimens. To the series on exhibition in Hall 59, have been added during the year two skulls of Promerycochcerus and single skulls of Merycochcerus, Hyen- odon, Hyracodon, Procamelus and Amphicyon. In Hall 61 a superb complete skeleton of Promerycochcerus, worked out during the year, has been placed upon exhibition. Some minor rearrangements of exhibited series have been made in connection with these additions. To the hall of meteorites, Hall 62, a wall case has been added, to provide for increase in the collection, and new specimens received have been installed. Additions to the systematic mineral collection, JAN., 1908. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. B37 Halls 63 and 64, have also been installed as received. A total of 5,469 specimens is now on exhibition in this collection. The remainder of the collection, classified and arranged for study purposes, occu- pies drawers below the corresponding exhibition cases. The work of providing additional permanent cases for the collections has been continued by furnishing such cases for the systematic rock, marble, and building stone collections. These occupy Halls 66 and 67. The specimens and old cases were entirely removed from these halls, and the walls of Hall 66 renovated and calcimined. Part of the cases removed were transferred to another depart- ment, while others were, with some alterations, placed in the departmental library. The new cases provided for the lithological collection are, in general, of the pattern employed for the systematic collection of minerals. The wall cases are, however, one foot instead of two feet deep, and the floor cases are fitted with glass at the ends as well as at thesides. The lights of the wall cases are 68 by 70 inches in dimension, and swing outward by means of hinges at the top. The specimens are installed on four series of six-inch shelves, sup- ported by L-shaped brackets screwed to narrow iron strips bolted to the backs of the cases. The lights in the floor cases are 34 by 56 inches in dimension, and swing outward from the top. The speci- mens are installed on individual wooden blocks screwed to pyramidal screens which occupy the case interiors. The blocks are distributed so as to avoid a monotonous appearance, and allow for the exhibition of about one hundred specimens in each case. Drawers in the bases of the cases provide space for study coliections. Sixteen cases in all have been provided for this hall, eight of which are floor cases, and eight wall cases. For the marble collection, the type of cases employed is like that already in use in Skiff Hall. In place of shelves, however, screens are provided to which the slabs of marble are fas- tened. The slabs are thus brought in uniform position and close to the eye, while the background enhances the appearance of the whole. Moreover, as in the meteorite cases, the sashes are secured by locks, and felted tongues and grooves, along all unjoined surfaces prevent the entrance of dust. For the installation of objects other than slabs, such as cubes, spheres, and other irregularly shaped specimens, flat cases have been provided. These cases are 44 inches high and 4 by6 feet in area. The height of the case portion proper is 12 inches. This portion is framed together, with the end lights removable. It rests upon four stout legs, tapering to the floor, all being capable of 138 Fierp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. III. sustaining a weight of one ton. The top light in each case, which is that intended to provide the chief area of display, is 44 by 68 inches in dimensions. Nine of these cases have been provided for the hall. Considerable additions have been made to the clay collec- tions, Hall 68, so that it has been necessary to add four cases to the hall, and to consign to storage some of the material previously ex- hibited there. The cases needed were obtained by moving some from Hall 67. These additions necessitated an entire reinstallation, which has been completed with very satisfactory results. The collection now includes: Two synoptic cases, three cases of brick clays, two cases of fire and potters’ clays, and one case of china clays. So far as possible, burned briquettes have been prepared of each clay ex- hibited, so that the properties of the burned and raw product may be seen together. In addition, a series of type briquettes has been prepared, showing the effect on appearance, and other properties of the clay, of different contents of lime, iron, etc. About five hundred briquettes have been so prepared during the year for exhibition with the collection. The series of diamond-bearing rocks of Arkan- sas received from Mr. Millar has been installed in Hall 70. This completes this collection quite satisfactorily, as the South African and Brazilian series were already shown here. In Hall 71, the case exteriors have been painted and some needed cleaning and reinstal- lation performed. The collections in Hall 72 of ores of the precious metals and lead have been rearranged so as to conform to a geograph- ical classification, rather than one depending upon the metal in the ore, as heretofore. This seemed desirable for several reasons, one being that many districts have several metals combined in one ore, so that it has been necessary, in order to represent the different metals fully, to multiply the series more than was desirable. Again it has been found that mining districts are better known, as a rule, than their ores, so that ore is most easily looked for by the visitor under the name of the district. Moreover, the relations of ores and ore deposits to each other can generally be most clearly shown by an arrangement accord- ing to districts. Accordingly the collections were rearranged, and the following series are now shown in this hall: One case typical gold ores and placer ores; one case ores from Alaska and British Columbia; one case Washington ores; one case Oregon ores; one case ores from California; three cases ores from Nevada; one case ores from the Black Hills; one case ores from Utah; eleven cases ores from Colorado; two cases of Arizona ores; three cases of New Mexico JAN., 1908. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 139 ores; one case ores of the Appalachians; three cases ores from Mex- ico; four cases ores from Colombia; one case ores from other South American localities; one case ores of Australia; two cases ores of Great Britain; and three cases of European ores. The platinum ores, the metallurgical collections, and the large specimens occupy- ing centre and special wall cases, have not been essentially changed. One case, transferred from Hall 67, has been added to those of the hall, and a number of the cases have been repainted. Of the relief maps, Halls 76 and 77, thirteen additional ones have been encased in glass, making twenty-eight in all which are now thus protected. One map has been repainted and several retouched. A series of photo- graphic enlargements, twenty in number, 17 by 20 inches in size, illustrating typical geological or geographical features, has also been mounted upon a swinging stand in Hall 76. Including these, a total of sixty-seven relief maps, seven ordinary maps, and twenty-five framed photographs is at present exhibited in these halls, making an exhibit which, besides attracting the attention of visitors in general, is used extensively for detailed study by classes from the public schools and other institutions. The collections in Hall 78 have been somewhat rearranged, and completely labeled. At present they number as follows: Three cases of abrasives, two cases of phosphates, two cases of mica, two cases of asbestos, one case of sulphur, one case of gypsum, one case of borax, four cases of salts of the alkalies and alkaline earths, two cases of processes and two miscellaneous cases. For the present, only temporary cases, collected from various sources, are available for exhibiting these collections, but it is hoped shortly to replace them with more attractive ones. To the Depart- mental office and library, as already noted, several of the wall cases formerly in use in Hall 66 were transferred. These cases, with some alterations, have been made to serve as book cases. The additional space thus provided has been filled by the transference of a considerable number of books of a geological nature from the general library stack room, thus relieving the pressure on the latter. About 230 lineal feet of shelving, all under glass, have thus been added to the Departmental library during the year, and the total amount of shelving now available for books in this library is 650 lineal feet. A total of 4,500 books and pamphlets is at present kept in this library. The works are chiefly serials, reports of Government and State surveys obtained by exchange, the private library donated by Director Skiff, and a series of separates and mineralogical books purchased from Mr. Kunz. Provision 140 FreLp Museum or NaturaAL History — Reports, Vou. III. of suitable accommodations for an increasing number of maps and atlases was obtained by constructing a map case 2 by 2 by 5 feet in dimension, with 1o sliding shelves. This has also been placed in the Department library. A case of drawers, also constructed for the office, provides storage for labels, minor supplies, etc. The capacity of the storage room proper was increased by the provision of about 120 feet of plank shelving. In the paleontological labora- tory, a gratifying amount of material was cleaned from the matrix and made ready for installation. The material so prepared was as follows: A complete skeleton of Promerycocherus, two complete skulls and a number of partial skeletons of individuals of the same genus; complete skulls of Merycocherus, Hyracodon and Leptau- chenia; incomplete skulls of Amphicyon, Procamelus and Hyenondon and an almost complete skeleton of an undetermined carnivore. In addition, the material in storage was carefully gone over, and all field packages which showed signs of having become loosened were replastered. This was especially necessary for packages which had been shipped from the field encased only in paste, as had sometimes been required by the exigencies of field work. The work on the Illinois birds and eggs has been pushed and with the exception of several special groups, is almost completed. Over 200 birds have been prepared for exhibition, and the mounted collections in Halls 25 and 26 have been rearranged. A new idea in exhibiting fishes has been developed, a case designed, and the glass tanks to be utilized therein ordered from abroad, and which are expected within a short time. This installation is looked forward to with much interest, being somewhat of a change from previous methods. One of the illustrations of this report presents the latest experimental stage of this departure. In the Division of Entomology, the butterflies have been transferred and relabeled. During the year 680 skulls have been cleaned and returned to the study collection, and 16 ligamentary skeletons have been cleaned and mounted. In the Department of Botany, during the year, all of the original exposed installation in the galleries of the South Court, and a part of that in those of the West Court, have been taken down, and the specimens cleaned and readjusted for installation in new cases. New case installation has been accomplished as follows: To the Grass Family has been added a half case illustrating the use of a large number of gramineous roots and fibers; a full case illustrating the Oats of the world, and another the Sorghums, Millets, and various odd \ Vee ie LSRARY OF Tie 7 OMIVERSITY OF ULLINDIS: ray “INXX “Id “SLHOd3H ‘S31V1S G3LINM 3HL 4O SIVOD 69 T1IVH oa “AYOLSIH IWHNLYN JO WN3SNW 01314 ih a Ca Me ser eeany 8 wig 0 | Oa a Batiiys, mie ROWER al ot Me. ees i en BAe TEN ved dn Se Atel hg the Pain Badly, ahah cade mY aaa ay Une Camoarnat Fabiyt , a ay 3 MECC S fuite, Rina t ty airy or ah oo eae Mie Eheat VPAlw, ‘Ponivreerd, ah Reba: ae ae materi th “ late ah half Maes, sstintings by ot tiem ae then Gage iiy- ‘ata ae iN reyMrrgts Sat.

The coal measures are indicated by the biack areas on the map, and numbers on the maps corresponding with similar numbers on the specimen distinguish the mines or localities from whence the specimens were obtained. A label attached to each specimen gives analysis and economic and technical data. JAN., 1908. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 141 food grains; another the Ryes and Barleys, and several of the cases formerly installed have been substantially augmented in species and in interest. To the cases representing the Palm Family, a half case has been added, exemplifying further utilizations of the Cocoanut Palm, and a half case of further specimens of various fruits, including an interesting Date series. A case comprising the Hat Palm, Pondweed, Rush, Calla, and Pineapple families is now in its systematic place. To the Banana family has been added a half case, illustrating by “hands”? and ropes, the principal Manila fibers. Another case, in- cluding the Yam, Iris, Pepper, Orchid, Canna and Arrowroot fami- lies, has been installed in association with the related Ginger family. An interesting series, exemplying the uses of plants of the Willow, the Australian Oak, the Myrtle and the Birch families, has been added, together with a half case in further exemplification of the Oaks. A case of plants and products of the Poppy and Mustard families, the Smartweeds and the Wormseeds is now installed. Fur- ther material has been added to the Nettle family, and the Elms and Proteads have been installed in this relationship. The Clove family is now initiated by a very complete series of the various woods, oils and kinos of Eucalyptus, occupying an entire case. An- other case and a half have been included with those illustrating the Bean family. The Laurel family has been augmented to com- prise a complete case, and the Sumach family extended with the Cyrillas, the Bittersweets and the Maples, to fill another. The Cho- colate and Silk Cotton families are now well exemplified in an inter- esting complete case devoted to their products. The Olive, Gentian, Strychnine, and Milkweed families are now well represented, and various other natural families, already installed, have received notable and instructive additional material.

The two large divisions and the two smaller in the upper left-hand corner contain mounted specimens, the others alcoholic, and all, so far as possible, are given their life colors. The alcoholic specimens are fastened to glass plates set edgewise in their respective boxes. The back of each division, whether it contains mounted or alcoholic material, is a transparency to which light is furnished through the top of the case, and which, with the addition of accessories, gives to each division an aquarium effect. This is considered simply a somewhat advanced experimentation. ‘ \J nou OF | 2a), Dietont — REPORTS, Vote & ELIZAR) WALICER jAMES KE, ‘ WALE RR, WILLIAMS LALnY SB WALLER BDWARD @ P ros, TOM SPNERK, EZRA YF, ranad WEMSTPR, GEORGE SE, ae V LTE.
