ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 1914 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, 1914. The Twentieth Anniversary of the foundation of the Museum was ushered in with an intimation that it was necessary to curtail certain activities in the Institution, in view of the default in payment of inter- est on certain investments held in the Endowment Fund. There is satisfaction in announcing, however, that this condition is only tem- porary, for later in the year it was ascertained that the security for the investments referred to was ample to protect the Institution as to both principal and interest. The chief reduction in expenditure was effected by the temporary abandonment of work in the Modeling Sections of the Departments of Anthropology and Botany. It was felt that the postponement of this work would not seriously affect the plans of the Departments involved, and that the resumption of operations might be undertaken at any future time without detriment to the work in hand. Probably the most important event of the year was the tender to the Board of Trustees of a site for the new Museum building in the reclaimed area south of Grant Park by the South Park Com- missioners. It is confidently anticipated that ground will be broken on this site before the date of the next report. Already the greater part of the steel necessary for the construction of the building is on the ground, and of the marble necessary for the exterior of the structure more than one-half has been quarried and cut. In view of the necessity of retrenchment in the matter of main- tenance expenses, it was deemed advisable to discontinue for the present the two lecture courses hitherto given on Saturday afternoons in March and April, and October and November. The fact that there is no hall in the present building to accommodate these lectures, and the further fact that the only suitable auditorium with the requisite seating capacity is situated some seven miles from the Institution, seems to justify the temporary abandonment of this means of public instruc- tion. 369 370 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. IV. The publication of a series of picture postal cards, portraying the various objects and groups installed in the Museum, was inaugu- rated during the year. The sale of the cards has been encouraging, for over fifty thousand have been disposed of, although they have only been offered for sale a few months. A second series representing forty-two objects and groups in the collections will shortly be pub- lished. The acceptance by Assistant Curator Osgood of the invitation to serve on a United States Government Commission to study and make recommendations regarding the management of the fur-seal herd on the Pribiloff Islands, deprived the Department of Zodlogy of his services for over half of the year. Leave of absence was granted to Curator Dorsey of the Department of Anthropology for approxi- mately one year. At least two months of Dr. Dorsey’s time, however, will be occupied in an ethnologic survey of British India in behalf of the Museum. The remainder of the leave granted is for a personal undertaking. The death of Byron L. Smith, Treasurer of the Museum, in March has to be recorded. Mr. Smith had faithfully served the Museum as Treasurer since its foundation, and as an officer of the Board, a friend of the Institution, and a high-minded public-spirited citizen of Chicago, his loss will be keenly felt. Mr. Solomon A. Smith was elected Treasurer to succeed his father. The death of Mr. Joseph N. Field, a Patron of the Museum, has also to be chronicled, and as a memorial for his generosity to the Museum, the Board of Trustees by resolution have named the hall in which the South Sea Islands ethnological material is installed the ‘‘Joseph N. Field Hall.” The death of Dr. Seth Eugene Meek in July of this year was a shock to his associates, and is an irreparable loss to the Department of Zodlogy, of which he was Assistant Curator for seventeen years. Dr. Meek’s highly valuable services on behalf of the Institution were recognized by the Board of Trustees in formal resolutions adopted on the occasion of his death. Mr. Carl E. Akeley in performance of his contract completed and installed during the month of December a group of African Buffalo consisting of five individuals. This group which is installed in the South Court keeps fully up to the high standard of excellence exhibited by those previously produced by him. A brief description of this addition to the Museum groups is made elsewhere in this report. References elsewhere indicate that the activities in the Institution, more especially in the progress of installation, have been fully main- tained during the year under review.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 371 MAINTENANCE.— The cost of maintenance for the year amounted to approximately $135,000, which was $13,000 less than the amount authorized by the Board of Trustees. The total amount expended for all purposes was $198,600 being $38,500 less than the previous year. The difference between the cost of maintenance and the actual amount expended is accounted for by special appropriations for the purchase of collections. The necessary repairs to the building were performed by the regular maintenance force. Pustications.— | he number of publications issued during the year was seven. These seven comprise parts of five volumes, details of which follow: Pub. 173.— Report Series, Vol. IV, No. 4.

The principal growth has been through gifts and interchange of the Museum’s publications with individuals and institutions. Among the important purchases were complete sets to date of the Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan; Journal far Ornithologie; Ornithologische Monats- berichte; and Ornis. Through the continued interest of friends a num- ber of valuable publications were received. Mrs. Frank W. Barker, Chicago, presented ten parts of a rare work ‘‘The Acropolis of Ancon.”’ Dr. Berthold Laufer, Chicago, a copy of ‘‘Epigraphische Denkmaler aus China, Part first”? recently published by Dr. Laufer and Otto Franke. Publications were also received from Mrs. F. H. Chalfant of Pittsburgh; Prof. Henry F. Osborn of New York; Sir Thomas W. Northcote of London; Judge Curtis H. Lindley of San Francisco; and Prof. Alexander W. Evans of New Haven. The courtesy of several contemporary institutions enabled the Library to complete sets of their publications. The more noteworthy were: Amer- ican Geographical Society New York City; British Museum Lon- don; Cambridge University, Cambridge, England; Kentucky Geolog- ical Survey Frankfort; South Park Commission, Chicago; Museum of Natural History, Marseilles, France; Royal Asiatic Society, Shanghai; Royal Botanical Garden, Edinburgh, Scotland; Royal Museum of Bohemia, Prag; Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft, Frank- fort-am-Main; Zodlogical Institute, Strassburg; Royal Society of Tasmania, Hobart; National University of La Plata, Buenos Aires. The books and periodicals bound during the year number 504. As routine work permits, the opportunity is being improved to make a 374 Fierp Museum or NaturaL History — Reports, Vor. IV. more careful and extended analysis of many sets of periodicals. There have been written and filed in the catalogues 21,000 cards. Twelve installments of the John Crerar Library library cards have been received and alphabetically arranged in the catalogue. During the summer months the Stack Room was thoroughly cleaned, and a com- plete rearrangement of the books made. A discarded exhibition case was fitted with shelves and converted into a temporary bookcase. DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING, AND LABELING.—The catalogue cards prepared by the Department of Anthropology during the year numbered 2,825, distributed as follows: Archzology, 401z; Mela- nesian Ethnology, 1,374; Asiatic Ethnology, 1,050. These cards with the addition of 1,885 from the preceding year make a total of 4,710 that have been entered in the inventory books of the Depart- ment. Of the cards relating to American archeology some have not as yet been turned over to the cataloguer, being retained for further reference in connection with the installation of the material which they record. The number of accessions for the year is 26, of which 25 have been recorded in the inventory. The volumes of inventories number 37. The labels printed for the Department during the year number 3,045, of which 621 were for the Melanesian division, with the addition of 135 prepared for the Fiji collection by Assistant Curator Cole, 22 for American Ethnology and over 2,000 for the Division of Asiatic Ethnol- ogy. The photographic prints prepared for the Department were classified and arranged in albums, of which 11 volumes were added to the series, 9 containing photographs of Chinese and 2 of Tibetan specimens. The Curator of Botany reports the preparation of 650 labels. Of these all that have been printed have been placed against the objects installed. The complete card catalogue of all the collectors and geo- graphic regions represented by specimens installed, containing over 12,000 cards, has been finished and arranged in a new and readily referable steel index case. This catalogue is unique and of the greatest value not only to students of the world of plants, but to the efficiency of the Department itself. The work of inventorying the specimens organized has been kept up to date, 7,521 entries having been made during the year, making the total number of entries 412,486. The material catalogued in the Department of Geology during the year included 590 mineral specimens, 355 economic specimens, and 364 miscellaneous. A total of 2,138 labels was prepared during the year, of which 891 have been printed and distributed. The most important series of these was that for the meteorite collection, the number made for that purposé being 1,003. These labels show for each specimen the classification of the meteorite, the locality of the fall or find, date “qSIULIOpIxey ‘AoPoyV “I ° “(laffyapva AaffpI snsAVIUKS) OIWAANG NVOIYAY LSVZ *XIT 3ALV1d ‘SLYOdSY “AYOLSIH IWHNLVYN JO WNASNW Q7143l4 LIBRARY Ohi or NNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS JAN., I9QI5. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 375 of fall or find, the weight of the specimen and its catalogue number. A large number of miscellaneous labels in addition were prepared relat- ing mostly to material received during the year. Several of these labels were descriptive. Some of the series thus labeled include the asphalt collection, a part of the petroleum collection, the collection of Japanese volcanic material, the amber collection, a series of mammoth and mastodon teeth, and about 200 miscellaneous specimens of min- erals. The descriptive labels in Higinbotham Hall were provided with white frames corresponding in color to the interior of the cases in order to give a more attractive appearance to the installation. In the Department of Zodlogy cataloguing and labeling of specimens was continued as usual. In the various inventory books all new mate- rial received from Museum expeditions during the year was promptly entered as soon as the specimens were identified, and also card-cata- logued. Some rearrangement in the mammal and bird collection has been made, and the revision of old labels continued. The work of rearranging and transferring the exhibition collection of shells to new cases was commenced and about 2,500 specimens were placed on newly prepared tablets and a new arrangement of labeling adopted. Under the supervision of Assistant Curator Gerhard the entire time of one assistant was devoted to this work. The preparation of labels for the shells to be installed in the new cases is now progressing. The entire collection of humming-birds, including about 400 species and sub- species, was rearranged in new trays and properly card-catalogued, and labels for specimens of reptiles, fishes, and crustaceans, placed on exhibi- tion during the year, have been prepared and installed. The large mammal skins stored in the basement of the Museum have been re- arranged, listed, and catalogued in such a way that they are now readily accessible for quick reference.

OTN ee Accessions.— The majority of accessions credited to the Department of Anthropology for the year have been made possible through the generosity of friends. The collection of classical archeology has » 376 Firtp Museum or NaturaL History — Reports, Vot. IV. been increased by two gifts of Mr. Edward E. Ayer —a large Etrus- can bronze vessel with chain handle and a small variegated glass bottle from Egypt. Two other Italian bronze cistas of the third cen- tury B.C., acquired by Mr. Ayer in Rome, were purchased by the Museum. These specimens belong to a type now very scarce, and seldom, if ever, offered for sale on the market. A diorite statuette of a woman from Egypt, of great artistic beauty, likewise obtained by Mr. Ayer, was secured through exchange. The section of North American archeology received from Mr. F. Schrott a flaked knife-blade of chert, and from Mr. Clarence B. Moore of Philadelphia an assortment of archeological material. Fifty arrowheads and two stone axes from Rock Hall, Maryland, were secured through exchange with Mr. George C. Roberts. To Mr. Homer E. Sargent the Department is indebted for an ancient gold ring from Mexico which has been added to the exhibits of American gold jewelry in Higinbotham Hall. Dr. W. S. Lowe, Phoenix, Arizona, presented several sections of cane stem, some wrapped up with a small cotton fabric, found under a ledge of rock in the Camelback Mountains, fifteen miles northeast of Phoenix, and to have served as an offering. American ethnology has been enriched by a gift from Mr. Richard G. Ellis, consisting of a rawhide lariat, wooden bow with skin case, a stone celt, and a stone disc; and by a gift from Mrs. Frank A. Devlin of Chicago, comprising three finely carved cups of pod from Costa Rica (modern) and two prehistoric pot- tery vessels from the same locality. The following acquisitions from Assistant Curator Owen’s recent expedition to Arizona have been added: three finished two-faced Navaho blankets, and one in the loom during the process of working, two-thirds being finished; specimens of yarn, and implements used in weaving. Mr. Cleaver Warden, Carlton, Oklahoma, presented the Museum with a peyote out- fit of the Arapaho. Mrs. Frank W. Barker of Chicago presented the Museum with a miscellaneous lot of 17 objects from Italy, Egypt, India, northwest coast of North America, Hawaii, and Micronesia. ‘The fol- lowing gifts were received by the section of Asiatic Ethnology: a rhinoceros-horn presented by Mr. F. W. Kaldenberg of New York; a Japanese gold piece (10 yen), and a Japanese rectangular silver coin from Mrs. T. B. Blackstone; three printing-blocks from the Examination Halls of Nanking from the Curator; an interesting mariner’s compass, enclosed in a copper case, from Mr. Thomas Mason. Three paintings representing polo matches, one album with 25 flower-pieces painted on silk, and another containing an Atlas of Hunan Province with sixteen hand-painted colored maps, were presented by Dr. John R. Taylor, in recognition of services rendered him in the identification of his collection JAN., IQT5. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. aay of Chinese paintings. The most important gift accessioned during the year are two exquisite silk-embroidered hangings presented by Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus, who has always evinced a keen and generous interest in the work of the Museum. These specimens were made in the Imperial Atelier for use in the Palace, and are classical examples of the marvelous skill attained by the Chinese in art needlework. They have been placed on exhibition in special wall-cases in Hall 45. The Museum is further indebted to Dr. Gunsaulus for two Japanese water-colors, framed, one illustrating the pounding of tea-leaves preparatory to the tea-ceremonies, the other showing a woman engaged in painting. Three notable acquisitions for the Chinese Collection were effected by purchase. The generosity of Mrs. T. B. Blackstone enabled the Museum to secure a famous collection of ancient Chinese coins, 690 in number. This numismatic collection is of intrinsic scientific value, including, as it does, many rare and unique ancient specimens; particu- larly it abounds in those earliest forms of currency, bronze-cast sham- implements, like knives, axes, spades, bells, etc., which are of specific archeological interest in permitting a study of the development of these ancient utensils. Mr. Chalfant, the collector, unfortunately met a premature death on January 14th, at the age of 52; his collection of ancient bone carvings, reference to which was made last year, and the coin collection in question, remain the most enduring monument of his fruitful activity and his serious aspirations. Mr. Chalfant had spent the last seven years of his life on the decipherment of the inscriptions on these bone carvings and left a voluminous manuscript on this work in two quarto-volumes. Mrs. Chalfant has placed this manuscript with others in the trust of Associate Curator Laufer, with the request that he take charge of the publication thereof. Two nephrite tablets from an imperial jade book, the one inscribed in Manchu, the other engraved with a pair of dragons, were purchased from Mr. Hackett. Through the services of Mr. W. W. Simpson, an American missionary in Taochow, Kansu, China, the Museum succeeded in obtaining the seal and grant conferred upon the Taochow Lama Temple by the Emperor K‘ang-hi in 1713. When Dr. Laufer secured the remaining spoils of this temple at the time of his sojourn at Taochow in 1910, it was impossible to get hold of these documents, as the abbot of the monastery is not permitted to part with them without the sanction of the high Church Dignitaries of Lhasa. Word was accordingly left with Mr. Simpson, requesting him to arrange for this transaction, which is now felicitously concluded. The large, square seal is carved from wood surmounted by the figure of a standing lion which serves as a handle; the K‘ang-hi date-mark is engraved on the top. The grant is written 378 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vor. IV. out in Tibetan on imperial yellow silk, which has dragons and other designs woven in, and is stamped with numerous seals. These unique objects naturally are of principal value to the Museum, inasmuch as they furnish substantial evidence for the fact that all treasures in its possession from the Lama Temple in question were indeed turned out during the K‘ang-hi era (1662-1722) and prior to the year 1713. In the Department of Botany considerable valuable material for exhibition purposes has been received. The Chicago Varnish Company has presented a very complete and valuable collection of 344 charac- teristic specimens of natural varnish gums, many of them the largest, clearest, and most typical examples of their kind known. These have been fully labeled and installed in two cases, accompanied by tubes of varnishes made from each class of gum exhibited. From the Philippine Bureau of Education a series of 147 typical fibers and objects utilizing the same have been received and installed among other objects belong- ing to the various families of plants they illustrate. Dr. Laufer has presented the Department with several characteristic specimens of “brick Tea” and of paper and raw material illustrating Chinese paper made from Derge roots. The U.S. Bureau of Plant Industry has sent in 168 specimens of crude drug substances that will serve to fill many gaps in the systematic exhibitions of plant products. The U.S. Forest Products Laboratory has contributed, in exchange, 44 examples of wood-paper pulps and papers made therefrom. The Forest Economist of India has presented 19 valuable forest products of India that assist greatly in the representation of the economics of several plant families, and the Section of Modeling, during the last month of its labors, turned over 7 models of desmid species; 9 models of diatom species; a full-size reproduction of a leafy, fruiting branch of the Horsechestnut tree; a full-size reproduction of a flowering twig of the same; a full-size reproduction of a pandanus fruit, a chocolate fruit, cakes of manu- factured chocolate, and several sections of the fruit of Connarus. The important additions to the herbarium during the past year comprise the following: The private herbarium of Mr. Geo. F. Curtiss, consisting of ferns of central North America, presented by Miss E. Curtiss; the private herbarium of Miss Carrie A. Reynolds, consisting of plants collected in northwestern North America, presented by herself; the private herbarium of Mr. C. W. Dusener, consisting of plants collected locally in Illinois and Indiana, presented by himself; and the following: Abbon, Mexico, 70; Adole, Mexico, 106; Arsene, Mexico, 689; Britton, Cowell & Shafer, Vieques Isl., 72; Britton and Shafer, Porto Rico, 217; Curacao, 51; Britton, Stevens & Hess, Porto Rico, 78; Broadway, Tobago, 56; Buchtien, Bolivia, 201; Cowles, northwestern North Amer- JAN., 1915.

The most im- portant of these is a skeleton of the American mammoth formerly be- longing to the Chicago Academy of Sciences, which was presented through the generosity of Mr. George Manierre. This skeleton was, until recently, the only mounted skeleton of a mammoth on exhibition in America, and it still remains one of the most nearly complete and important. The skeleton was found in 1878 in Spokane County, 382 Fretp Museum or Narurat History — Reports, Vot. IV. Washington. Owing to its fragile nature and the probability that it might not remain long in the present Museum building, it was decided not to remount the specimen at this time, and it has not, therefore, been placed on exhibition. A valuable collection of minerals, with some fos- sils, the whole numbering about 300 specimens, was received from Miss E. Curtiss. Many of these specimens were of exceptional beauty and rarity. A somewhat similar, though smaller, collection numbering 48 specimens was received from Harold Wegg. It was chiefly valuable for its series of Mazon Creek fossils. Two large specimens of fossil logs, collected by Prof. R. D. Salisbury on his recent trip to Patagonia, were received during the year and made an appreciated addition. From Mr. Charles Winston eight exceptionally fine specimens of Carbonifer- ous plants from Pennsylvania and Rhode Island were received. Some of these were of importance as having been cotypes of Lesquereux and all are large and well-preserved specimens. Two excellent specimens of fossil glass sponge, Hydnoceras bathense, in group form were gener- ously presented by the New York State Museum. An excellent speci- men of fossil fish from Wyoming was presented by Mrs. E. F. Goodall. The skull of a Bison, found in an excavation near 67th Street, Chicago, was presented by Thomas Farley. This is one of few occurrences known showing the distribution of the buffalo in this vicinity. D.5. Renne, Verona, Illinois, presented two large specimens of septaria, which are interesting specimens of this type. From the Dolese & Shepard Com- pany were received two excellent specimens of Orthoceras found near Chicago. Besides the above a number of specimens of economic interest were received through the kindness of donors. Among these may be mentioned six specimens of gold and silver ore from San Bernardino County, California, presented by Dr. T. A. Dumont; 27 examples of minerals and ores from Montana, presented by Mr. J. E. Strawn; 15 specimens of gold ore from the Bella Mafiafia Mine, Tlatlaya, Mexico, from William Brockway; 10 specimens illus- trating the manufacture of tungsten lamps, from the General Electric Company; two specimens of platinum and gold ore from the Boss Gold Mining Company of Nevada; three specimens of vanadium ore from the American Vanadium Company; 46 specimens of asphalt and its products and two large photographs of Trinidad Lake, from the Bar- ber Asphalt Company, and 11 specimens of coal tar and its products from the Barrett Manufacturing Company.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 383 a number of cubes and marble slabs were added to the building stone collection, making it more representative than formerly. Twenty-one specimens were received from these donors. By exchange a number of important specimens were received, the most important being a large and complete skeleton of the European Cave Bear from Austria. This and a skull of the fossil whale (Zeuglodon) from Egypt were received from Dr. F. Krantz. From the University of California there was re- ceived by exchange a practically complete skeleton of the sabre-tooth Cat from the Rancho la Brea beds of California. From Grebel, Wendler & Company there was received a fine series of Brazilian phenacite crys- tals, numbering 21 specimens. From Mr. George S. Scott of New York City were received by exchange 14 specimens of various minerals; from Prof. H. B. North of Rutgers College, 8 specimens of pseudomorphs after marcasite; and from the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, three large polished specimens showing the occurrence of the silver and nick- el ores of Cobalt, Ontario. By purchase the Bishop Canyon meteorite was obtained entire; also the Scott City meteorite, nearly complete, and a large etched section of the Mount Edith, Australia, meteorite. Other purchases included: 163 specimens showing varieties and modes of occurrence of German amber; an interesting series, numbering 42 specimens, showing products of the eruption of the volcano of Sakur- ajima, a specimen of a ‘‘bread crust’? bomb in this series being of especial importance; a large specimen of Orthoceras, measuring six feet in length; a series of models of diamonds cut from the Cullinan dia- mond; and 11 teeth and two tusks of a young mastodon. The Curator of Zodlogy reports that an important addition to the Entomological collection was received from Dr. William Barnes of Decatur, Illinois, who presented. to the Museum a collection of about 3,500 moths, which are in fine condition and many of them will ulti- mately be used for the exhibition collection. Miss Elizabeth F. Curtiss also presented to the Museum a collection of butterflies containing some 1,700 Specimens, which may supply some material for exhibition pur- poses. A rare species of Sphinx Moth (Trogolegnum pseudambulyx) from Mexico, a gift from Mr. B. Preston Clark of Boston, was new to the Museum collection. The mammals and birds received from Museum Expeditions were of much scientific value and contained sev- eral new forms, which are being studied and will be the subjects of papers now being prepared for publication. The most important donation received was that of 26 large mammals and 3 birds from East Africa, presented by Mr. Brent Altsheler of Louisville, Kentucky. The collection consisted of 3 Ostriches, 4 Impala Antelopes, 1 Hartebeest, 2 Waterbuck, 1 Wart Hog, 2 Elands, 1 Lioness, 3 Grant’s Gazelle, 3 384 Fretp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, Voi. IV. Oryx, 2 Dik Dik, 1 Kiipspringer, 4 Gerenuk, 1 Buffalo, and 1 Jackal. Mr. E. B. Williamson of Bluffton, Indiana, presented a number of birds during the year, and his continued interest is much appreciated. Judge R. M. Barnes of Lacon, Illinois, presented a body of the rare Trumpeter Swan. Analbino crow was purchased. The Osteological col- lection was enlarged by 445 skulls cleaned for the study collection, and 5 skeletons were prepared and installed in the exhibition collection. EXPEDITIONS AND FIELD Worx-—At the beginning of the year the Museum had two zodlogical collectors in the field: Malcolm P. Ander- son in Venezuela, and Robert H. Becker in Brazil. In January Mr. Anderson proceeded to Peru and worked in high altitudes in the Andes Mountains east of Chimbote, later going to Lake Junin (altitude 14,000 feet). After leaving Lake Junin May 7th, he spent a month collecting in the vicinity of San Ramon on the Rio Chanchamayo, and sailed for home early in June. While Mr. Anderson secured valuable material, the specimens were less in number than could have been expected, owing largely to a series of unfortunate accidents. In Janu- ary, Mr. Becker proceeded from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Lagoa Santa in the State of Minas Geraes, where he made an important col- lection of birds and mammals. He then proceeded up the Rio San Francisco to Barra, and from there pushed on up the Rio Preto to and beyond Formosa, a small native town in a very little known region in the interior of Brazil. This country has not been worked by collectors, and it is unfortunate that after surmounting difficulties in reaching there, his stay had to be limited to two weeks. Interesting mammals and birds were secured, some of which are new and will be the subject of a publication in due time. Coming down the Rio Preto on a raft, which he built, Mr. Becker reached Barra safely, and from there went on to Bahia and took a steamer to Trinidad, where he had been directed to secure material for a group of Oil Birds (Steatornis caripensis). The birds, eggs, nests, and accessory material were obtained, also photo- graphs of the caves in which the birds live, and the group is now in process of construction. INSTALLATION, REARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT.—A most en- couraging feature of the work performed in the Department of Anthropology during the current year is that, despite the reduction of the force rendered necessary in January, the progress of installation has been fully maintained to a remarkable degree, and, in fact, the work in every line of activity has been pursued with energy and devotion. A total of 70 new cases has been placed on permanent exhibition, all fully and completely labeled. The material installed in these cases is distributed as follows: Southwest Ethnology, 5 cases; New Hebrides, 12 JAN., IQI5. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 385 cases; Admiralty Islands, 12 cases; Fiji, 8 cases; Chinese, 19 cases; Tibetan, 14 cases. As regards American ethnology, one case of Apache medicine shirts, one case of painted buffalo hides, two cases bearing on Paiute ethnology from California and Nevada, and one case of Pima storage baskets have been added to the Southwest Section, under the personal supervision of Assistant Curator Owen. Hall 8 has been cleared of nine cases of Borneo, three of Andaman and Nicobar, and one of Malay Peninsula material, these thirteen cases being stored indefinitely with the great number of installed cases already on the floor of the East Court. As Halls 2 and 3 have recently been devoted to the exhibition of New Hebrides, Admiralty and Fiji ethnology of the Joseph N. Field Collections, this arrangement resulted in the necessity of removing the following cases for storing in the East Court: three Sauk and Fox, one Iroquois, one painted buffalo hides, two Apache, two Warm Springs, three Shoshoni, one Klikitat, one Yakima, two Ute, two Wasco, one Comanche, one Bannock, one Kutenai, one Umatilla, and two Nez Perce. More than ninety boxes containing the Stanley McCormick Hopi material have been unpacked in Hall 16. The material has been classified and placed temporarily in new cases and storage bases, await- ing permanent installation with the exhibits of Hopi ethnology which, for the past fifteen years, have been displayed in Halls 15, 16, and 17. In Hall 17 the Hopi Home Case has been completely overhauled, the clothing renovated, and the five life-size figures repainted. Nine altar cases in the same Hall have also been subjected to a most careful and thorough examination and readjustment. Peruvian pottery, particularly from Chancay, and Egyptian tomb tablets have been properly treated and cared for to insure their preser- vation. About 400 photographs which had been stored in Hall 48 for many years have been identified as belonging to about thirty tribes, and each lot has been placed in the cases where the respective tribal group is represented. Many of these prints, varying in character and quality, show scenes no longer obtainable, and before being perma- nently installed in the various cases, should be copied on permanent paper for exhibition purposes, while the old solio prints may be pre- served for the Department albums. During the year Assistant Curator Lewis has installed thirty-two cases of Melanesian material. These, with cases installed towards the end of the previous year, include the collections from Fiji, the New Hebrides Islands, and the Admiralty Islands. Assistant Curator Cole codéperated with Dr. Lewis and superintended the installation of the material from the Fiji Islands, which fills seven cases, illustrating the clothing and ornaments, household utensils, weapons, and various 386 Fretp Museum or NatTurAL History — Reports, Vot. IV. industries of the natives. The manufacture of tapa, an industry common throughout the whole of the South Seas, is well illustrated by numerous specimens of the implements used in the process, as well as by a great variety of finished product. Fourteen cases of New Hebrides material make an exhibit fairly representative of the culture of these islands, many of which have now almost completely lost their original features. ‘The collections are most complete from Malekula, the largest and least known of the whole New Hebrides group. In this island alone over twenty languages are spoken, and the culture is by no means uniform. The collection illustrating the ceremonial and religious life of this people,—consisting of carved images, masks, pre- pared skulls, and figures of the dead,—is unusually complete. The various types of weapons employed by the tribe are also well illustrated, though many forms still remain to be represented. The Admiralty Island collection now occupies fourteen cases, while a considerable portion of it is not yet placed on exhibition. This collection is notable for the wealth in objects characteristic of the high degree of skill reached by these people in wood carving and decorative art. Particularly striking are the huge drums, finely carved food-bowls, some of them four feet in diameter, decorated wooden beds, and numerous carved images of various sizes,— all manifesting a well-developed artistic sense. There are several series showing the variations of design from realistic to conventional and geometrical stages, such as displayed by the forms of decorations on spears, daggers, and combs. Interesting groups of decorative elements are also seen in their personal ornaments, among which are included over 300 breast ornaments of shell and tortoise-shell, all different in decorative design despite the uniformity of type, and presenting excellent source-material for the study of variability of ornamental forms. There is also shown an extensive series of shell- bead dancing-aprons, which are rare. The process in the making of these shell beads is illustrated by numerous specimens in the consecutive stages of the work. Methods of fishing, including that of fishing by means of flying kites from canoes, which is restricted to a few localities, and the manner of preparing articles of food, are likewise shown, to- gether with models of various types of canoes. Worthy of particular mention are the four remarkable feather masks from Hansa Bay, New Guinea, presented by the late Mr. Joseph N. Field, and now placed on exhibition in the East Court. The Melanesian collections, thus briefly outlined in their main contents, have been assembled in Halls 2 and 3, which were thrown open to the public in the beginning of November. In addition to the installation and labeling of cases, much work has been accomplished by Assistant Curator Lewis in overhauling and sorting AN., IQI5. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 387 out the different collections from other parts of Melanesia already in the Museum, many of which had not been catalogued. This cataloguing is now being pushed on with energy, and approximately 900 specimens. of the Parkinson collection, as well as a few other small collections, have been entered and numbered. In the Asiatic Section installation has progressed steadily. Two large special cases designed for the Chinese stage-scenes were delivered in January, and all material and labels relating to these exhibits having been fully prepared in advance, their installation was achieved without delay. This completed the exhibits of Hall 53, which is now entirely devoted to a display of Chinese theatricals. Moreover, two new Halls have been added this year to the existing six, referred to and described in preceding Reports, and made accessible to the public. The Tibetan collection secured under the auspices of the Mrs. Black- stone Fund has received a further extension in Hall 50, which consists of 12 cases illustrating the domestic, social, and religious life of the Tibetan people in the following phases: objects used in the household; consumption of food, including articles of food, as well as the utensils serving for their preparation; consumption of tea; consumption of spirits and tobacco; basketry; ceremonial silk scarves exchanged by people in social intercourse; writing and printing; charms and domestic art; musical instruments, censers and other objects, and paraphernalia employed in the temples for religious worship. The case illustrating the process in the production of paper and books is of great culture- historical interest; it forms a counterpart of the case arranged two years ago and displaying the arts of printing and engraving in China and Japan. It contains exquisite specimens of Tibetan manuscript work written in gold and silver on black-lacquered paper, manuscripts illu- minated by colored miniatures, in which the Lama scholars excelled as successfully as the medizval monks, and fine samples of Tibetan and Mongol prints; especially notable are some books printed in vermilion in the Imperial Palace of Peking (so-called palace editions), and one of the largest and heaviest books ever turned out (93% pounds in weight; pages measuring 2 feet 10% inches in length and 144 inches in width). The case, further, contains an interesting autograph written in vermilion ink by the Dalai Lama with his own hand and transmitted by him to Mr. Laufer for presentation to the Field Museum when he had an interview with him at Peking in 1908; there is also on view an attractive series of seals with wax reproductions of their inscriptions, writing- utensils, and appliances of the printer. Hall 49, which had served during the last years as a storage-house for the East-Asiatic material and as the basis of operation to prepare and catalogue it, has been 388 Fretp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot., IV. entirely cleared, as it is planned to utilize this room for the continuation of the Tibetan exhibits, which will comprise means of transportation, saddlery, industries, costumes, jewelry, painting, and the culture of the Tibetan nomad tribes. Owing to this arrangement it was made possible to relieve the congestion prevailing in the East Court by transferring 24 new cases to Hall 49. A Tibetan coracle and the trappings of a horse, shown on a papier-maché model, are already installed in this Hall. Much time was consumed on the final installation of the large collection of Chinese stone sculpture. The pieces are of great dimen- sions and heavy in weight, and required drilling of their bases to secure solid and permanent intrenchment on the shelves. The material is installed in 12 two-foot cases, eight of which have been placed in the Rotunda of the East Annex, Hall 58, which seemed to offer the most suitable location. In order to make the best use of the available space, the principle of concentric arrangement has been adopted, the centre being occupied by a small special case sheltering an octagonal pillar inscription of the T'ang dynasty,— an important historical document which records the capture of the city of Taochow in Kansu Province through the Tibetans in the eighth century. From this centre radiates the collection of sculpture with an inner ring of four cases arranged in a square, and fortified by an outer ring of four others, flanking the niches. The distribution, balancing, and classification of the material in the cases proved a task beset with no small difficulties, partially due to the difference in bulk and weight of the single sculptures, partially owing to the repetition of the same types through the various periods of Chinese history. A chronological principle and simultaneously one according to religious types and subjects has been brought into effect. The collection well demonstrates the development of Chinese sculp- ture in its total range from the fourth to the eighteenth century, em- bracing the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism. Three main chronological divisions have been established: the early or pre-T‘ang period, fourth to sixth century, medieval or T'ang period (618-906), and the retrospective modern or after-T‘ang epoch. The assemblage of ancient Taoist sculpture is probably unique and exceptionally rich in beautiful statues of the Supreme Deity of the Taoist pantheon; it fills two cases which have been added to the Taoist section in Halls 46 and 47,— one of these harboring in addition tombstones and inscription tablets of the T'ang period. A goodly number of Taoist sculptures has been incorporated in the Buddhistic department, in order to bring out the idea of the dependence of Taoist on Indian-Buddhist art and the interrelations of the two religions. As regards the exhibits of Buddhist statuary, the general scheme of division followed is: the Buddhas, the FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. REPORTS, PLATE LXI. ITALIAN BRONZE CISTA, THIRD CENTURY, B. C. JAN., IQI5. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 389 Bodhisatvas, and the clergy, under each of the three chronological epochs. One case is entirely devoted to the portrait-statues of Bud- dhist monks from the T‘ang period to the present, as in this manner a most striking phase in the religious and mental development of China is very forcibly impressed upon us. Nothing could better illustrate the ennobling influence of Buddhism on Oriental society and its lofty intel- lectual aspirations than these portraits of religious leaders with their refined and spiritualized features, and their sermon of salvation. It should be said that the present condition of the Halls does not permit of adherence to a rigidly scientific system of classification of these exhibits. In the Department of Botany cases representing the following economic exhibitions have been installed and fully labeled during the year: four case units of Varnish Gums; one case unit illustrating the Cycad family and its products, especially its starch roots and starches; one case unit containing the Gingko and the Yew families and their characteristic fruits and utilizations; a case illustrating in complete groups the Bacteria and their life history, the Diatoms and their methods of reproduction and growth, the Desmids and their life characteristics, and the unicellular Alge; a case illustrating all the phases in the life history of the Marchantiacez; one unit case containing the Morning- glory family and characteristic products; three case units of the Rubiads and their products, including an interesting reproduction of the plant known as the “‘living ant’s nest”’; one unit case illustrating the products of the Maple family; a unit devoted to the fruit of the Coco-de-mer palm and the uses to which it is put; one unit case each comprising the products of the Milk-weed and the Horsechestnut families; a case containing both the Passionflower and the Benzoin families and their utilized products; two units exemplifying the various uses supplied by the Ferns; three units devoted to the Grass family, especially the fibers yielded by various species; one case each exemplifying the characters and uses of fibers yielded by the Screw-pine, the Sedge, the Palm, the Eel-grass and Banana families; one case exemplifying the botany and products of the Snakeroot family; one case containing both the Elm and the Protead families; one case containing new products of the Fig family; two unit cases devoted to the fruit characters, and various useful products of the Sumach family; one case devoted to the products of Yam and the Iris families; a case containing various characters and use- ful products of the Coca family; one case illustrating the Lignum-vite and the Quassia families; one unit case showing the products of the Mahogany family; two units devoted to the Connarus and the Bean families; one case comprising the characters and useful materials yielded 390 Fietp Museum oF NaturaL History — Reports, Vou. IV. by the Buttercup and the Akebia families and another the Barberry and the Moonseed families; and three cases representing the botany and products of the Monkey-pot and the Pomegranate families. In the Department of Geology two large mounts have been installed in Hall 36. One of these is the large Leptomeryx slab described in last year’s report. This has been installed in a floor case of standard type, 7144x 4% feet in size, in which it makes an effective and attractive exhibit. The other large mount installed is a skeleton of a Cave Bear from Triest, Austria, which has been placed in a temporary case. The skeleton is remarkable for its large size and completeness. In connec- tion with the installation of these mounts some rearrangement of the other cases was made. There were also added to the exhibition series of fossil vertebrates a skull of Aceratherium and one of Ancodon, complete skeletal fore and hind legs of the fossil camel Oxydactylus and a skeletal hind leg of Alticamelus. The two large fossil logs from Patagonia, collected by Professor Salisbury, have been installed in this Hall. One of these logs is eight feet in height and two feet in diameter and the other is nearly as large. The structure of the wood is beautifully preserved and the evidences of former tree growth are so unmistakable as to make them impressive specimens. The large slab of Uintacrinus, which has for some time been exhibited in this Hall, was found to be undergoing considerable disintegration owing to im- perfect adherence of the slab to the plaster backing. It was therefore taken down, the thin exhibition surface removed and carefully scraped and readjusted. ‘This was then remounted on a firm plaster bed. By this means a permanent adherence of the slab to the plaster has been obtained and a durable and attractive mounting achieved. In Hall 32 the large specimen of Orthoceras from Troygrove, Illinois, and a number of smaller specimens were installed and some minor rearrangements made. In Hall 30a series of models showing the diamonds cut from the Cullinan diamond has been placed in connection with the model of that diamond. In the same Hall a large number of mineral specimens have been added to the series on exhibition, less important specimens having been removed wherever necessary to provide room. The series added includes a number of new species or occurrences that have been acquired in recent years, so that all important mineral specimens may now be considered to be on exhibition. In Hall 31 the series of lavas and vol- canic products has been thoroughly rearranged in geographical groups and a number of specimens added. The additions include the series of specimens from the Japanese volcano of Sakurajima. The series of concretions, faults, and veins in this collection was also rearranged and some additions made. Some marcasite stalactites which had begun to TANS OLS: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 391 show signs of disintegration, were thoroughly treated with shellac and further decay checked. In connection with the rearrangement of the structural collections in this Hall, that of the study collection was car- ried on and considerable interchange of specimens made. About one- quarter of the entire exhibit, which occupies fifteen cases, was com- pletely reinstalled in order to bring the series to a satisfactory condition. To the economic collections in Hall 34 a large number of specimens has been added and a considerable amount of reinstallation performed. In several of the cases the exhibits were entirely removed in order to allow painting of the interiors. These interiors are now all a uniform black. New series installed in this Hall include a number of rare earths; a series illustrating the manufacture of tungsten wire; a series of minerals resembling gold; several series illustrating the uses of cobalt, nickel, zinc, and tin; a number of additions to the building stone collection, including several marble slabs; and a model of a log washer for iron ores. The large specimens of ores in this Hall, which had hitherto rested directly on the floors of the cases and the finish of which they injured on account of their weight and jagged surfaces, have been provided with individual wooden supports placed so as not to be visible. Further injury to the cases has thus been averted. Additions to the collections illustrating the uses of cobalt, zinc, and nickel compounds have been prepared in the Museum work-rooms and placed on exhibition. These include the pigments which have these metals for base. They are shown as varnished coatings on blocks of wood four inches square. Beside each block is placed a tube of the pigment in oil partly emptied into a small watch glass, in order to show its color in quantity. Besides the zinc pigments there have been added to the collection illustrating uses of zinc, a dry cell with the zinc exposed to illustrate electrical uses of zinc; a zinc etching block and a print from it; a jar of zinc ointment, and powdered willemite used as a fluorescent screen in X-ray and radioactive work. A beginning has been made of a collection to illus- trate uses of the rare earths and others of the less familiar elements. A Nernst lamp illustrates uses of zirconia, and a Welsbach mantle shows an important application of thoria and ceria that has made monazite valuable. A series of specimens shows all stages of the evolution of the filament of the tungsten electric light from the mineral scheelite to the wire ready to place in the lamp. One of the most interesting uses of titanium is shown in an example of the yellow enamel used by dentists. In order to obtain space for these additions, a collection of exhibited antimony ores was reduced. There has been added to the gold series a group of specimens illustrating the appearance of those minerals which are most frequently mistaken for gold. The series consists of two 392 Fretp Museum oF Naturat History — Reports, Vot. IV. specimens of gold in quartz and flake gold for comparative purposes and selected specimens of fool’s gold or pyrite, copper pyrite, native copper in slate, and two specimens of mica, one of which is mixed with sand and oneis pure. To the collection of building stones exhibited, 27 cubes and slabs have been added. A large specimen of fire clay from Missouri, received in 1912, has been installed in a case in this Hall, space being obtained by moving some less important specimens. Some of the less important pigments have been removed from their place of exhibit in Hall 33 and in their place has been installed the collection of coal tar products presented by the Barrett Manufacturing Company. The production of dyes, etc., from these substances make them of especial interest at the present time. Some additions have been made to the coal mine model in order to make some of its features more readily appreciable. Some of the underground portion has been cut away in order to show the position of the ventilating shaft and its connection with the hoisting shaft. This makes more evident the course of the ventilating system. In order to make the exhibit of washed iron ores, more instructive a small model of a log washer was constructed by the Assistant Curator and installed in connection with that exhibit. The model shows a trough containing a log bearing a series of fins arranged in a screw-like manner; a hopper and track on which the unwashed ores are brought to the washer; an engine house containing the en- gine for providing power for operating the washer; and a car for remov- ing the washed ore. A scale of one-third of an inch to the foot was carefully adhered to in constructing the model, such a size having been adopted in order that the model might not overbalance the collection. The model is chiefly intended to assist the label in making the collection more instructive. The usefulness of such models has been very favor- ably commented on by visitors, on account of the ease with which the details of the models can be studied as compared with the noise, confu- sion, and complexity encountered in visits to large working plants. Some improvements have been made in the installation of the collection of petroleums shown in Alcove 107, chief among them being replacement of the large two-gallon bottles of petroleum products by smaller bottles, which are uniform in pattern with those in which the crude petroleums are installed. The appearance of the collection has thus been much improved. The installation of the other petroleum products has like- wise been somewhat revised andimproved. The series showing asphalts and their uses received from the Barber Asphalt Company, with two large photographs of Trinidad Lake, has been installed in Hall 35. Several new specimens of graphite have also been added to the graphite collection in this Hall. The specimens illustrating lithology and ) MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. REPORTS, PLATE LXIl.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 393 structural and dynamical geology, which occupy the drawers under the lithological exhibits, have been completely reinstalled; all specimens have been placed in trays in a logical order and labeled, the drawers have been numbered, and indexes have been prepared so that any specimen wanted can be found at once and can be shown to anyone desiring to study it. Material was prepared for several new cases for the work of the Harris Fund, in addition to a number of duplicates of those previously prepared. The new subjects illustrated include semi- precious stones, varieties of common rock, volcanic products, and coal- tar products. In the laboratory of vertebrate paleontology the prepara- tion of vertebrate fossils has been actively continued and a considerable amount of material has been prepared. A skeleton of the sabre-tooth tiger was prepared for mounting; completion of the preparation and mounting of the slab containing 25 skeletons of the Water Deer, Lepto- meryx, described in last year’s report, was accomplished; the large slab of Uintacrinus was taken apart and entirely remounted; a skeleton of the Cave Bear was repaired and remounted; a nearly complete skeleton of the fossil camel Oxydactylus and a skull of Elotherium were prepared for exchange; a partial skeleton of Oxydactylus and skulls of Aceratherium and Ancodon were prepared for exhibition; a large specimen of Orthoceras was cleaned of plaster and a durable mount provided; the skeleton of the Washington mammoth presented by Mr. George Manierre was disarticulated and carefully packed in boxes so as to provide safety in storage; a set of jaws of the large shark Char- charodon was cast in plaster and mounted for the purpose of replacing the former exhibit of this kind which was somewhat defective as to de- tail; some progress was made in mounting a skeleton of Canis diurus, and the entire collection of teeth of mammoths and mastodons, some of which were undergoing disintegration, was carefully treated in such a manner as to insure its preservation. In the Department of Zodlogy a large habitat group of American Bison or Buffalo, consisting of five animals, a large old bull, a young bull, two females, and acalf, has been added to the exhibition collection. The scene is laid in Nebraska. Burrowing Owls, Prairie Dogs, and Rattlesnakes, which are common in that prairie country, are included in the group. The following single mammals have been installed and placed on exhibition in the serial collection: Chinese Takin (Budorcas bedfordi), a rare large mammal; Kansu Deer (Cervus kansuensis); Spectacled Bear (Tremarctos ornatus), a rare species from the Andes of Peru secured by Museum expedition, as was also the White-lipped Peccary (Tayassu pecari); Drill (Papio leucocephalus); White-tailed Mongoose (Ichneumia albicauda), and Porcupine (Erethizon dorsatum). 394 Fietp Museum or Naturat History — Reports, Vot. IV. Painted backgrounds for a large group of Moose and a group of South American Capybara, including a Jaguar, have been prepared, and con- siderable work on the accessories for both these groups has already been done. The mounting of the specimens for the Moose group, very fine specimens secured by a Museum expedition last fall, is progressing in a satisfactory manner. A new method for making artificial bodies (manikins) for small mammals was introduced by Taxidermist Pray, which seems a decided improvement over the old way. A striking group of East African Buffalo, created by Carl E. Akeley, was installed in the South Court late in the year. This group, which includes two old bulls, one young bull, a cow, and a calf, is an impres- sive example of the possibilities of modern taxidermy. ‘The five bulky animals are so skilfully and naturally grouped that the effect of space and power is not lost even in the confinement of a case of moderate size. In addition to simplicity and fidelity to nature both in grouping and in modeling, the individual animals of this group have an unusual quality produced by a new and superior technique in the treatment of the skin. The principal feature of this method consists in applying the tanned skin to the model in a dry instead of moistened condition. The result in the finished specimen, especially in the case of thinly haired animals, is much more likelife than that of other methods, the skin appearing soft and natural instead of hard and unyielding. In the exhibition of comparative osteology 445 skulls were cleaned, and the follow- ing skeletons mounted and installed: Gila Monster (Heloderma horridum); Box Turtle (Cistudo carolina); Jacana (Jacana spinosa); Pigeon (Columba livia), and Cave Bat (Eonycteris spelea). A large habitat group of birds representing bird life in the far north on Walrus Island, Alaska, has been completed and placed on exhibition. This group includes 51 birds with nests, eggs, and several nestlings; some of them, notably the Red-faced Cormorant, are rare and are becoming more so each year. Among the most interesting birds in this group may be mentioned, in addition to the Red-faced Cormorants, theTufted Puffins, Horned Puffins, Paroquet Auklets, and various species of Gulls (among them the Red-legged Kittiwake Gull), Murres, etc. An instructive feature of the group is in showing the Glaucous and Glaucous-winged Gulls stealing and eating the eggs of the Pallas Murres, which breed in great numbers on this barren, isolated island. For the serial collection there were mounted: 1 Coot (Fulica americana); 1 Red- shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus); 2 Kittlitz Murrelets (Brachyramphus brevirostris), and 1 Harlequin Duck (Histrionicus histrionicus). A number of bird skins from fresh specimens sent in for the study collec- tion, including the Snowy Owl, were prepared. A number of fishes and JAN., I9QI5. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 395 crustaceans have been painted for the exhibition collection. One exhibition case of mounted fishes from California was installed, and 88 fishes, 79 from Florida and California and 9 from Alaska, have been mounted and painted. Included are many handsome species, among them being a number of Salmon and Trout from California. A con- siderable number of specimens of various insects, moths, butterflies, beetles, etc., have been pinned and prepared. Early in the year 16 A- shaped cases were delivered for installing the exhibition collection of shells and insects to replace the flat cases at present in use. The Assist- ant Curator of Entomology devoted considerable time to rearranging shells for the new method of installation. Upon the return of Collector Becker from South America he was added to the staff of assistants in this Department and devoted his time to this work. THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. —The Curator reports that the practical inauguration of Mr. Harris’ benefaction has been attended with success. The cases prepared dur- ing the year number 207, making, with the cases previously installed, a grand total of 286. The pupils in the public schools examining these collections during the year numbered 368,044. The schools pro- vided with cases were 326, divided as follows: Main Schools 266, Branch Schools 39 and Vacation Schools 21. Each Main School was provided with not less than 6, each Branch School with not less than 3, and each Vacation School with not less than 12 cases at a time. The automobile delivery car designed for the distribution of the circulating collections was delivered during the year and has proved satisfactory. It has a capacity of 45 cases and travels each day of the school week approximately 80 to 100 miles. Thirty-four of the cases will be exhibited at the Panama Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, during the coming year. 396 Fietp Museum or Natura. History — Reports, Vot. IV.

The initial step is to wire the specimen as though the ordinary method of mount- ing were to be followed. The inside of the skin is then given a coating of poison paste and immediately afterwards the composition is put in and modelled. The most satisfactory composition used so far is one made of library paste, water, and a pinch of arsenic, to which is added whiting and sufficient chopped tow to make the mixture of the proper consistency for modelling but nevertheless sticky. The cavity in the manikin is then lined with cloth and filled with sawdust, which, when the specimen is dry, is removed by means of the plug (p) inserted in the end of the body, or in the side, if the animal is to be in a recumbent position. Depressions in the anatomy are maintained by the use of insect pins, which are cut off flush when the skin has adhered properly to the manikin. The legs of very small mammals may be filled wholly with composition, as is shown in the figure (c), but the legs of larger mammals should have a wrapped core. The tail wire (t) is merely wrapped with cotton to secure the required thickness. The advantage of this hollow manikin method is that the mounted specimen is light, very durable and almost indestructible. (Originated and used by Leon L. Pray.) JAN., 1915.
