Cornine January 1, 1923 ee ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 1922 To the Trustees of the 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, 1922. During the year the construction of the terrace, sixty feet wide, extending around the entire structure, and rising to a height of six feet above the ground, was completed. It is constructed of the same marble as the building proper and is provided with wide and imposing stair- ways leading to the central doors. This marks the completion of the Museum building. The year was characterized not only by normal development but by an unprecedented activity and expansion which extended to practically all departments and sections of the Institution. After the arduous and anxious work of reinstallation and reorganization had been completed in 1921 the staff, with largely increased scope for action and progress, and greatly improved facilities for performing its duties, resumed its normal scientific and departmental activities with renewed zest and vigor. This was particularly evidenced by the activity with which the pre- viously formed plans for scientific exploration and survey of South America were entered into. No fewer than eight expeditions, repre- senting each of the four Departments of the Museum, operated in that continent during the year, detailed accounts of which are given elsewhere. This activity in the field, so vital to the proper growth of an institution of this type, was made possible mainly by the generosity of Captain Marshall Field who, as was announced in last year’s report, provided a contribution of $50,000.00 a year for a period of five years for this purpose. In addition to this President Field contributed $3,000,00 towards the expenses of a botanical expedition to British Guiana, and Mr. Arthur B. Jones provided the sum of $25,000.00 to meet the cost of an important expedition for an ethnological investi- gation of Malaysia. Much of the stimulus given to the staff of the Museum may be attributed to encouragement imparted by these gen- 86 FIELD MusEeUM OF NATURAL History—ReEports, Vor. VI. erous gifts which permit the accumulation of material of great value from new fields, often situated in remote and little known parts of the world. While the Museum has made phenomenal progress during the few years it has been in existence, the present increase of its scope and opportunities involves new needs and responsibilities. No greater service could be rendered to the Museum at this important period in its history than to make possible the extension of its expeditionary pro- gramme to insure that comprehensiveness and completeness of collec- tions which is expected of an institution of importance and standing. Indeed, in this age of intensive investigation and research in all the sciences, the expansion of activities in this direction becomes almost imperative. A further gift of $50,000.00 towards the deficit in the Building Fund was received from President Field. Furthermore, he continued his annual contribution of approximately $12,000.00 towards the work of plant reproduction in the Department of Botany, and added $2,000.00 to the Harris Public School Extension Fund. Mr. James Simpson paid in to the Treasury of the Museum, during the year, a further sum of $25,000.00 towards the construction of the theatre which bears his name. Mrs. Robert F. Cummings has been good enough to indicate her inten- tion to provide $2,000.00 towards the cost of publishing the manuscript prepared by Assistant Curator Cole on “The Tinguian. Social, Religious and Economic Life of a Philippine Tribe.” . It is desired to make special mention of the interest which Mr. Edward E. Ayer has continuously evinced in the welfare of the Insti- tution. It was again demonstrated by his decision to transfer $100,- 000.00 United States of America 444% Gold Bonds to the Museum, which will eventually be used to establish a permanent lecture founda- tion. The Board of Trustees has decided that the benefaction is to be forever known as “The Edward E. Ayer Lecture Foundation.” Mr. Ayer has also provided a fund for the payment of a preparator in the Science and Art Museum of California, who will provide this Institu- tion with some duplicates of its extensive paleontological collection. Among the noteworthy gifts received by the Museum, during the period under review, were collections and specimens from Mr. Martin. A. Ryerson, Mr. Keith Spalding, and Mr. William J. Chalmers. Gen- eral Charles G. Dawes has signified his intention of presenting to the Museum Library Dr. Manasseh Cutler’s botanical manuscripts, notes and correspondence, together with notebooks and field observations. “AYLVAHL NOSAMWIS SSWNVP SHL “INAX BLW1d ‘SLYOdSy “AYOLSIH TVYNLVYN JO WNASNW G713l4 JAN., 1923. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 87 These deal principally with economic plants observed by Dr. Cutler and form an interesting series of documents. The Museum is fortunate in the possession of many friends and benefactors, and it is fitting here to renew the expression of thanks to all who have contributed towards it in money and gifts during the year. An excellent bronze bust of the late Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus, executed by John G. Prasuhn of the Department of Anthropology, was completed during the year and installed in Frank W. Gunsaulus Hall. The continued efforts of President Field to increase the Life Mem- berships of the Institution, resulted in the election of the following dur- ing the year: Mr. William A. Alexander, Mr. Charles Garfield King, Mr. Louis B. Kuppenheimer, Mr. Philip $. Edmunds, Mr. Thomas H. McInnerney, Mr. Arthur L. Farwell, Mr. James C. Ames, Mr. James P. Soper, Mr. Lester Armour, Mr. T. J. McNulty, Mr. Milward Adams, Mr. J. Ogden Armour, Mr. Knowlton L. Ames, Mr. Benjamin H. Marshall, Mr. J. M. Hopkins, Mr. Charles B. Pike, Mr. Edgar A. Bancroft, Mr. Harold N. Scott, Mr. Robert F. Carr, Mr. Ralph Van Vechten, Mr. E. W. Cramer, Mr. Joseph R. Noel, Mr. Howard W. Fenton, Mr. W. B. Storey, Mr. Frederick R. Babcock, Mr. Chauncey B. Borland, Mr. Charles I. Pierce, Mr. Louis A. Ferguson, Mr. John J. Glessner, Mr. John P. Wilson, Jr., and Mr. Frank A. Marsh. During the year Mr. D. C. Davies became a Corporate Member of the Museum and was also elected a member of the Board of Trustees to fill a vacancy in the Board. The following gentlemen were elected Honorary Members of the Museum in recognition of the eminent service they have rendered to science: Mr. Martin A. Ryerson, Captain Marshall Field, Mr. Arthur B. Jones, Mr. James Simpson, Mr. Charles R. Crane, Colonel Albert A. Sprague, Mr. Albert W. Harris, and Mr. William J. Chalmers. Mrs. Robert F. Cummings was elected a Patron of the Museum, in recognition of the eminent service she has rendered to the Institution. One of the most important and significant steps taken during the year was the considerable addition made to the scientific staff; Dr. Charles E. Hellmayr was appointed Associate Curator of Birds; Ed- mund Heller, Assistant Curator of Mammals; Karl P. Schmidt, Assist- ant Curator of Reptiles and Batrachians; John T. Zimmer, Assistant Curator of Birds; J. Francis MacBride, Assistant Curator of Taxo- nomy. Assistant Curator Dahlgren was promoted to the post of Asso- \ f 88 FIELD Museum OF NATURAL History—REeEports, Vou. VI. ciate Curator of Economic Botany. The employment of Ashley Hine as Chief Bird Taxidermist; Colin C. Sanborn as Preparator in Birds; George M. Sternberg as Chief Preparator and Collector in Vertebrate Paleontology; John B. Abbott as Preparator in Vertebrate Paleontol- ogy; Carl E. Gronemann as Artist, and A. W. Miller as Photogravurist, is reported. Miss Dorothy Roberts was appointed Guide-Lecturer early in the year. Several additions have also been made to the force in the Section of Printing, these additions being necessitated by the increased demands made by the production of the Museum publications. A series of leaflets, describing objects and collections in the Museum, was inaugurated during the year. Fourteen of these were published and distributed. A manual of the Museum, containing information con- cerning the foundation, the endowments, and the activities of the Insti- tution was published in November. A third edition of the Guide to the collections was brought up to date and issued late in the year. A Syn- opsis of the collections was also prepared and published, more especially for the use of the public schools. Reference is made elsewhere to the issuance of numbers in the regular publication series. It is interesting to note in view of the facilities provided by the Insti- tution that the Board of Trustees has granted permission to the Central Section of the Anthropological Association to designate Field Museum as the headquarters of the organization. The visit of the American Ornithologists’ Union to Chicago, during the month of October, was a notable and interesting event, at which a large number of prominent ornithologists of the United States and Canada were present. An in- structive popular session, illustrated by motion pictures, was given in James Simpson Theatre by the Union. An interesting exhibit of selected paintings, drawings and photographs of birds, by several artists, was displayed during the week in Room 12, on the main floor, and was kept open to the public until the third of December, attracting an un- usual number of visitors. The American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists also convened at the Museum during the same week. The regular monthly meeting of the Superintendents and Principals of the Chicago Public Schools was held in the James Simpson Theatre on November 4th, when ideas and suggestions were exchanged as to a closer cooperation between the Museum and the schools. The results were most satisfactory. The Museum was honored during the year by the visits of a consid- erable number of officers and students of American and foreign JAN., 1923. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DrRECTOR. 89 museums, and it was gratifying to note their unanimous expression of admiration of the fitness and extent of the building for museum pur- poses, the adequate equipment for the scientific and working staffs, and the arrangement and interest of the exhibits. ~ An important change in the method of recording the Museum departmental accessions was instituted by the Recorder in the month of June. The hand-written records in the accession books were replaced by typewritten cards kept in Rand Visible Files. Each drawer of these files contains 310 cards, showing at a glance the source of the material accessioned, its character, and the accession numbers. The hand-written indexes were substituted by a typewritten loose leaf system. The old manila jackets containing the accession records were also discarded, owing to their decay through chemical reaction, and approximately ten thousand new jackets of a more durable quality were typewritten, pro- viding suitable protection for all records of the accessions. It is with pleasure and satisfaction that record is made of the loyal cooperation and the willing service that all members of the staff have rendered during the past year, which has been especially encouraging in an individual sense, and proved, collectively, of much benefit to the Institution. The alterations and rearrangements of the ground floor were practi- cally completed during the year and the results have fully justified all anticipations. New exhibition area on this floor has been created to the extent of 125,000 square feet. An addition of importance was the construction of a small lecture hall intended to seat approximately two hundred and fifty persons. The hall has been equipped with stereopti- con, screen and arrangements for controlled light. The James Simpson Theatre was completed during the year, and was also equipped with a stereopticon and motion picture apparatus. The Library, Reading Room and Stack Room are now permanently established on the third floor, where they are conveniently placed in close proximity to the quarters of the scientific staff, which not only tends to increased efficiency, but has resulted in economy both of time and ex- pense. In making these arrangements the fullest consideration was given to the comfort and convenience of those using the Library and the Reading Room, the accommodation at their disposal having been largely increased. The library is now adequately equipped and furnished for the continuance of its widespread usefulness. The installation of a system for supplying the laboratories and lava- tories with hot water was completed during the year. Illuminated signs, go rep MuseuM or Naturart History—Reports, Vor. VI. indicating stairways, lavatories, restaurant, etc. were also provided. An elaborate system of ventilation for the ground floor was completed be- fore the end of the year. The large room, situated at the southeast corner of the main pavilion, assigned for the use of the President and the Board of Trustees, has been decorated and furnished, President Field assuming the entire expense thereof. Karly in the year it was decided to establish a Photogravure Section for the production of illustrations for publications, leaflets, and postal cards. Space on the third floor was assigned for this work, in which were placed a large gas-heated oven for drying plates, a gas plate with boiler, work bench, trays and other appurtenances for preparing the coating. A 25” x 38” printing frame and stand, and a solar arc lamp of 3500 candle-power for copying the sensitized photogravure plates were also installed. A large galvanized iron sink, washing and lye tanks, drying racks, two stock tables and a hot water boiler to furnish vapor for the press room were placed in a room between the plate room and the press room. The first illustrations produced were for the Annual Report of the Director for the year 1921. Since then illustrations have been completed for eleven leaflets and for the publication “The Flora of the Santa Catalina Island.’’ Approximately 20,000 postal cards were produced. To facilitate the manufacture of installation furniture and fixtures | in the Department of Anthropology, there were installed in Room 38 on the third floor a Crescent 24” variable speed planer, a Wallace 6” bench jointer, a Wallace 7” universal saw and a Moak single spindle horizontal boring machine; all of this machinery is driven by individual motors. Four handsome bronze sign posts have been placed on Michigan Avenue at the entrances to Grant Park. These signs indicate the opening and closing hours of the Museum and have undoubtedly attracted the attention of strangers to the Museum. A change in the hours of closing the Museum was authorized by the 3oard at a meeting held February 20, 1922. The Museum is now open to the public during the following hours: January, November and December 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M.; February, March, April and October 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.; May, June, July, August and September 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Heretofore the Museum has been closed to the public on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. The Board, at a meeting held November 6, 1922, determined that the Institution should now be open to the public every day in the year. AN., 1922. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR.

LIBRARY The Library was transferred early in the year to the third floor, thus bringing it into close proximity to the staff, which fully appreciates the greater convenience and accessibilty. Two thousand one hundred and eighty seven books and pamphlets, together with sixty maps have been received during the year, bringing the total number of books etc. in the library to 79,658. A number of valuable volumes, and some of historic importance, were given to the library by friends interested in the work of the Museum. Mr. Edward E. Ayer has, with his customary munif- icence, added two hundred and twelve books to the Ornithological Library which bears his name. Among them are several beautifully bound copies of early editions, including one of Horrebow’s Natural History of Iceland, translated from the Danish original and published in London in 1758. The gift includes the following works: Blaauw Monograph of the cranes Buller Birds of New Zealand Butler Birds of Great Britain 6v.

Riggs presented seventeen volumes of magazines of unusual interest and of early date from the library of her late father, Mr. Frank Smith. Thirty five volumes on miscellaneous subjects in Natural History were received from Mrs. William M. Derby, Jr. The Governor General of Chosen forwarded seven illustrated volumes on the antiquities of Korea. From the Institucio Catalana d’Historia Natural, Barcelona, the Koloniaal Museum of Haarlem, the Cultura Venezolana., Caracas, the Colegio de Senoritas, San Jose, Costa Rica, and the Can- terbury Museum of New Zealand, were received complete sets of their publications. Other gifts of interest are indicated in the list of acces- sions. Among a number of much-needed older works purchased during the year are the following: Ammann Hortus Bosianus Supellex botanica 1675 Colmeiro La hbotanica y los botanicos de la peninsula hispano-lusitana 1858 Dupare & Tikonowitch La platine et les gites platiniféres de l’Oural et du monde Forster History of voyages 1786 Molina Saggio sulla’ storia naturale del Chili 1810 Neve and Molina Reglas de orthographia, diccionario del idioma Othomi 1767 : Petherick Travels in central Africa 1869 Raffenau-Delile Mémoire sur les plantes qui croissent spontanemént en Egypte 1824 Ramusio Delle navigationi et viaggi raccolto & con molti vaghi discorsi. 1555-1558 94 T'reLpD Museum or NaturAL History—Reports, Vor.

The publications of the Museum are sent to all kindred institutions and societies at home and abroad, and publica- tions were received from six hundred and eighty-three institutions and individuals during the year. Eight new exchanges were effected with institutions having literature of value to the library. Five hundred and thirty-one volumes were bound. Increased accommodation for the vari- » ous catalogues was provided by the addition of four sections to the card cabinets. Eleven thousand one hundred and twenty-two cards were written and filed during the year, together with the monthly installment of author cards from the John Crerar Library. The Museum is in- debted each year to libraries in and out of the city for the loan of neces- sary reference books. This year it is especially indebted ‘to the Library of Congress and the Lloyd Library of Cincinnati for the loan of very rare books not obtainable elsewhere in this country. DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING AND LABELING ANnTHROPOLOGY.—During the year the work of cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology was completed as soon as possible after the new accessions were received. Some older collections were also cata- logued. The total number of catalogue cards prepared amounts to 1,385, and are distributed geographically as follows: North America 688; Mexico and South America 39; India, Tibet, Burma, Siam and Annam 491; China and Japan 142; Malaysia 11; Polynesia 3; Australia 2; Miscellaneous 9. All these cards have been entered in the Inventory Books of the Department, which number 38. The number of accessions JAN., 1923. ANNUAL REpORT OF THE DIRECTOR. ~- 95 received during the year was 43, of which 37 have been catalogued. Nine accessions of the previous year were also dealt with. The total number of catalogue cards entered from the opening of the first volume amounts to 157,502. Several thousand labels were prepared and installed during the year, the number of labels supplied by the printer to the Depart- ment totaling 6,047. These labels are distributed as follows: Plains Indians 1,917; Nootka, Bella Coola, Coast Salish, Kwakiutl, Iroquois, Sauk and Fox 655; Egypt 84; Roman Frescoes 72; Irish Antiquities 47; Busts of prehistoric man 30; India 326; Tibet 27; Java 277; China 764; Japan 1,574; Maps 16 and Miscellaneous 258. The printer, further, supplied the Department with 1,000 printed forms for measurements in physical anthropology, 1,000 catalogue cards and 600 cards for the _label file. 418 label cards were added to the label file, which was ar- ranged in conformity with the installation or changes in the halls. The labels for each exhibition case are kept together, bearing the same num- ber as the exhibition case, so that any label desired may now be traced at a moment’s notice. 588 prints were placed in the photographic albums, and five new albums were opened. Prints in several albums were provided with typewritten explanations. Botany.—All newly accessioned specimens in the Department of 3otany have been catalogued as fast as they could be organized. 16,059 entries were made in the sixty-two catalogue volumes, bringing the total number of catalogued specimens in the Department up to 512,426.

A total of 2,153 new entries have been made during the year. Of these, 1,045 represent additions to the mineral collection ; 550 to paleontology ; and 412 to the economic series. Of the specimens collected by the Curator in Brazil 808 have thus far been catalogued. A total of 310 new labels were written during the year, five being large descriptive labels. Of the smaller labels, a series of 106 were prepared for the exhibit of petroleum products presented by the Standard Oil 96 I'ieLp MuseuM oF NaTuRAL History—ReEports, Vor. VI. Company (Indiana), and go for miscellaneous specimens of minerals and meteorites. Most of these labels have been printed and installed, and the labeling of the Department may be considered as nearly com- plete as that of any actively expanding collection can be expected to be. To the Department photograph albums 167 prints have been added dur- ing the year, making a total of 3,821 prints now in these albums. ZooLoGy.—The accessions of the Department of Zoology, with the exception of the insects, were catalogued shortly after they were received. Some accessions that were received during the past few years and to which, at that time, the needed attention could not be given, were also properly catalogued. The total number of entries made was 3,580. They were distributed as follows: Birds, 2,704; Mammals, 365; Reptiles and Amphibians, 276; Fishes, 153; Insects, 75; Shells, 1; and Skeletons, 15. The making of the above entries, in most cases, also nec- essitated writing a label or tag with full data for each entry. The num- ber of catalogue cards written was small. This was due to the fact that ten or more entries were recorded on each card, a new one being writ- ten for a species new to the various collections. For some groups, also, instead of cards, a loose-leaf ledger index has been adopted, a change that appears to be an improvement on the card system. For the col- lection of fishes 592 of these sheets, containing 1,886 entries, were written. A similar index, comprising 151 entries, was also prepared for the entire collection of salamanders. Asa shelf guide to the reference collection of fishes, 358 labels, each one with. a different number and family name in large type, were printed and duly installed. Although a number of exhibition labels were prepared, particularly in the case of shells, a limited number only were printed and installed, namely, 17 for a cicada group and 116 for a screen exhibiting fishes. The actual num- ber of fish labels, however, is somewhat misleading, as they were first printed on black stock and later replaced by others that were printed on paper that is more in harmony with the new color adopted for fish screens. : The following table shows the work performed on catalogues and in- ventories in the various Departments: Total No. ofentries |.

JAN., 1923. ANNUAL Report OF THE DIRECTOR. 97 ACCESSIONS The Museum, during the year, has been the recipient of a large number of important and valuable gifts. These, together with the extensive collections made by expeditions, have added very appreciably to the material and educational value of the exhibits of the institution. AnTHROPOLOGY.—In the Department of Anthropology the unusually large number of 43 accessions is registered, 33 of which are by gift, 3 by exchange, 6 by purchase and 1 as the result of the Captain Marshall Field Colombian Expedition. Mr, Martin Ryerson presented a very remarkable burial figure of green-glazed Han pottery, representing a powerful mastiff in the attitude of guarding his master’s grave. Such figures were interred with sport-loving noblemen in ancient China about the time of the beginning of our era, and are rare types. The figure in question is of so high a quality in modeling and glazing that it was deemed worthy of being placed on exhibition in the case showing selected examples of Chinese Art in Stanley Field Hall. To Mrs. Marshall Field, Sr., are due two lacquered and painted Chinese screens (so-called coromandel screens), each consisting of twelve panels and carved on each side with an elaborate design. One of these screens is shown in Room 23 in the northeast corner of the second floor. Another Chinese screen, composed of sixteen square detachable panels and adorned with well-carved figures of the Eight Immortals, was presented by Mr. Oskar J. Friedman of Chicago. A very fine and interesting old suit of painted hide armor with helmet and sword, from the Lolo of western China, was presented by Mr. William Ayer McKinney, Chicago. This welcome gift was very timely, as it fits in with a collection of 58 Lolo specimens purchased by the Museum from Dr. C. Schneider a botanist who trav- elled and collected in southwestern China. The Lolo form one of the groups of aboriginal tribes which settled in southern and western China prior to the arrival of the Chinese who conquered and colonized their country. While they gradually succumbed to Chinese influence, they still preserve many characteristics of their ancient culture, particularly in weapons and armor. They also retain their peculiar language and script. As they are difficult of access, Lolo specimens are rarely found in museums. The entire collection is now exhibited in Case 37 of Hall 24, and is particularly remarkable for its instructive series of hide armor. Mr. William Wrigley, Jr., and Mr. Arthur B. Jones contributed jointly to acquire a unique collection of stone sculptures from ancient 98 Firtp Museum or NaturaLt History—Reports, Vor. VI. India, the importance of which can hardly be exaggerated. Not only are most of these pieces exceedingly rare, but also most difficult to secure, as the exportation of antiquities from India is prohibited. It was solely due to a felicitous combination of circumstances that Mr. Alexan- der Scott, a well-known artist and traveller, who made the collection in the course of a many years’ sojourn in India, was granted the privilege of taking it out of the country. The majority of the sculptures (27) belong to the so-called Gandhara period of the first two or three cen- turies of our era, being essentially Buddhistic in their religious char- acter and under Hellenistic influence in their artistic types and style. There are eight excellent full figures and heads of Buddhas and Bodhi- satvas, and twelve panels of friezes on which elaborate scenes are carved in high relief. Prominent among the latter are representations of Buddha’s temptation by Mara, the spirit of evil, the first sermon preached by Buddha at Benares, and six figures of Greek composition presenting offerings to the Buddha. Seven other sculptures illustrate subjects of the purely Brahmanic religion or Hinduism, including a beau- tiful lava carving of the god Vishnu with his consort Lakshmi, and a frieze with four nautch-girls or bayaderes performing a sacred dance around a censer. The old religion of the Jaina, still flourishing among the merchants of India, is represented by a large marble statue of Parc- vanatha, one of the prophets or teachers of the Jains, who preceded Mahavira, the actual founder of the religion, and by a fine cast image of solid brass, portraying another of their prophets. In addition to this Indian collection, a valuable specimen from Tibet was purchased of Mr. Scott and is likewise due to the generosity of Mr. Arthur B. Jones. This is a ceremonial bone apron, consisting of forty-one plaques exquisitely carved, which was used in the sacred mystic ceremonies of the Tibetan Lamas. Such aprons are carefully guarded as temple treasures, and very few have crossed the borders of Tibet. Mr. Scott himself presented the Museum with a marble pedestal sculptured with a triad in high relief, representing Buddha seated in the center, supported by two Bodhisatvas with lotuses in their hands. This is a product of the third or fourth century a.p. A very interesting old Tibetan painting, depicting scenes from the life of the Buddha, is the gift of Miss Caroline Wicker, who added to it a number of other curious objects acquired during her travels in the Orient. An interest- ing cast image of solid gold, discovered in the jungle on the island of Mindanao, Philippines, was secured by purchase. It is presumably of Javanese workmanship, and was brought over to the Islands by traders. The type and style of the figure point to India. Mr. Edward a | ee es FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. REPORTS, PLATE XxX. BURIAL FIGURE OF MASTIFF. HAN POTTERY, CHINA. GIFT OF MARTIN A. RYERSON. JAN., 1923. ANNUAL ReEporT OF THE DIRECTOR. 99 E. Ayer presented breast ornaments, made of silver inlaid with plain and engraved stones, worn by a Dalmatian woman. ‘ A pair of Japanese bows was presented by Mr. H. J. Patten of Chicago. They are over seven feet in length, are lacquered black and trimmed with red rattan bands. They are accompanied by a fur-covered quiver containing ten arrows, the quiver and bows fitting into a large black-lacquer brace with handles. Such sets were carried in processions of the former feudal lords or daimyo. The crest of Nabeshima, the powerful daimyo of the Province of Hizen, is impressed in black on the gilded leather bow-tips and quiver decorations.. Mr. Junius Wood, the well-known correspondent of the Chicago Daily News, has donated a beautiful fighting sword or katana, with which is a scabbard of black lacquer decorated with designs of golden pine needles. The fittings are of gold, silver, and shakudo etched with a tendril design. Particular interest is attached to the blade which bears upon its tang the signature of Asafune Suyemoto and the date 1392. There were obtained in ex- change with the Logan Museum at Beloit College, Wisconsin, fifty- three potsherds, fragments of prehistoric pottery found in shell-heaps along the bay of Tokyo, Japan. They were originally exhibited at the World’s Columbian Exposition by the Department of Anthropology of the Imperial University of Japan. A man’s coat and a complete woman’s costume, made by the Quiche Indians of Guatemala, have been acquired by purchase from Mr. E, W. Allstrom, who has promised to supplement this collection on his return to Guatemala. The woman’s costume is of a type which has survived almost unchanged from prehistoric times, and is notable for its brilliant colors, its beautiful weaving, and its ornate embroidery. The Quiche are of the same stock as the prehistoric Maya, the most civilized nation of ancient America. In spite of their political conquest and their long con- tact with Europeans, they are still numerous and retain much of their ancient culture. An excellent collection of Chippewa material was acquired from the Public Museum of Milwaukee by means of exchange. The Chippewa are one of the largest tribes north of Mexico, and for- merly ranged along both shores of Lake Superior and as far west as North Dakota. In their industries and mode of life they closely re- sembled the tribes who occupied the state of Illinois during the early historic period. The collection includes numerous mats, birchbark utensils, and twined bags, together with raw materials and tools for their manufacture. Flag mats, used as thatch for winter dwellings, and a mat of cedar bark, are of especial interest. A birchbark canoe from the same tribe, in a good state of preservation, was received as a gift 100 FreLp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. from Mr. F. W. Morgan of Chicago. Another birchbark canoe was given by Mr. C. H. Benjamin, West Lafayette, Indiana. A collection of Nambiquara material was received from the Museum Nacional of Rio de Janeiro by exchange. The Nambiquara are a forest tribe of southern Brazil who, at the time this collection was made, were still living under conditions similar to the peoples of the stone age. They are rapidly disappearing on contact with the European, and will probably be extinct in a few years. Among the most interesting ob- jects are arrows, clubs, bracelets made from the tail of the armadillo and a stone axe with its original haft. A number of ethnological specimens from the Kiowa and Hopi, col- lected by the late Dr. James Mooney, for many years a member of the Bureau of American Ethnology, were acquired from his sister, Mother Mary Agnes, F. O. They include numerous examples of beadwork and basketry, as well as ceremonial objects. Of special interest are specimens of peyote. The peyote is a small cactus, growing on the Lower Rio Grande and in northern Mexico, which contains a powerful narcotic drug. When eaten, it produces hallucinations similar to those of hash- eesh. An elaborate religious cult has been built up about its use by the Plains tribes. The collection is accompanied by a series of interesting photographs. | A small collection of ethnological material, which was acquired by purchase, consists of examples of Sioux metal work, and a number of miscellaneous specimens from the Eskimo of southern Alaska. A fine beaded saddlebag of buckskin has been presented by Mrs. Willard R. Wiley of Chicago. This bag was obtained many years ago by a relative of the donor, and is an unusually good example of Sioux beadwork. Two Mexican serapes or blankets made in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, have been presented by Mr. P. M. Zulfer of Chicago, who for many years resided in Mexico. They are good examples of the present-day weaving, as practiced in that province, showing the combination of mod- ern and primitive designs which now prevails. A large rug of white al- paca fur made in La Paz, Bolivia, is due to the interest taken in the Mu- seum by Professor Archibald Gillis Baker. The Shasta Springs Hotel of Shasta Springs, California, presented through Mr. Edward E. Ayer a very interesting Indian mortar carved from lava. Mr. Alfred C. Dod- man, Jr., of New York, manifested his interest in the Institution by offering a valuable pre-Columbian gold figure discovered in Central America and representing a rare mythological image. It has been added to the exhibits of prehistoric American gold in H. N. Higinbotham Hall. The Art Institute of Chicago presented to the Museum a bronze JAN., 1923. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. IOI bust of the Sioux Chief Sitting Bull modeled by Edward Kemeys. An interesting series of negatives taken by himself of the Seminoles of Florida, was donated by Mr. L. Winternitz of Grand Rapids. Botany.—Among the notable collections received by the Department of Botany during the past year is the complete private herbarium of Edouard Jeanpert, consisting of about 35,000 sheets. The late M. Jeanpert, at times an assistant in the herbarium Cosson, was particularly interested, from 1887 to 1920, in amassing as full an herbarium as possi- ble of the plants of the environs of Paris, both by extended field-work and by exchange. A search through ten of his 200 fascicles resulted in revealing the probability of his having secured large series of numerous French and Mediterranean Europe and Africa collectors. M. Jean- pert specialized in the Rubiads, Ranuncules, Saxafrages and the Ferns. His herbarium proved to be especially rich in these groups. Of the ferns, he evidently secured duplicates from all those collections repre- sented in the Paris herbarium and those of Cosson, Franqueville and Drake. A glance through a few of the many large fascicles in his herb- arium revealed, at least, plants of a large number of collections, many of which appear to be in complete series. Other collections of importance received during the year were Burchard’s Plantae Canariensis; Knopf, Santa Catalina Island 500; Buchtien, Bolivia 158; Lloyd, Illinois 355; Clokey, Colorado 634; Peattie, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois 264; Gray Herbarium, New England and Nova Scotia 336; Dutton, Vermont, 587 ; Bush, Missouri 295; Blake, California 138; Ruth, Texas 529; Grant, Washington 145; and 3,205 South American Plants from the Herbier Museum I’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, The organized additions to the Herbarium and the total number of sheets of those localities to which additions have been made are as follows: Added Total in paged Tee in thi Her- . this er- Locality pee been Locality Year barium NORTH AMERICA: UNITED STATES : ; ai labaiieaiiyience lien 10 1,587 ee a ie PaiAOt ate acta 28 8,252 Agatta Island: 22). 5} 5 etaaaas 3 502 Atkawislands 3.02 I 2 bees DOs 26,783 Attu Island... 00.2): I 3 EEE hye Weve ane 423 aay Beane tial 5 ne Catalina Island....1,967 4,890 Kodiak land BOLO I ies Carolina, North. 32 4,831 ake Taba x Garolina yn South ieee 58 1,173 Saint Paul Island.. 5 216 Sane SAS Rta tts 7 a rs Unalaska Island.... 7 ASM Rie corer Wilk Daina CETTE MURR ee Me EE I OIl Dakota;) North) 320. 2 603 Mackenzien iene tis I 8 Dakota, South ...... 4 1,887 Nova) Scotian rss: 05 534 Delaware. .)-)2,-'4...)-. 9 1,384 Ontario koe asian 73 2,474 District of Columbia. 31 2,766 102 FIELD MusEUM oF NATURAL History—Reports, Vor.

Judge George Bedford of Morris, Lllinois, presented the Department of Geology with 381 specimens of fossil plants from the beds of Mazon Creek, Illinois. These specimens exhibit the fine preservation characteristic of fossils from this locality, and, in con- sequence of lessening production of these beds, as well as the intrinsic value of the specimens, are highly prized additions. Eight specimens of ammonites and saurian remains from the Fort Benton beds of Kan- sas were presented by Mr. F. M. Jewell, and Mr. R. K. Thomas pre- sented 45 specimens of invertebrate fossils from Arizona. To the crystal collection, through the generosity of Mr. William J. Chalmers, 281 crystal models, showing, the ideal forms of as many natural crys- tals, were added. Mr. Edward E. Ayer presented a set of nine pho- tographs which illustrate methods of construction of a model of Yellowstone Park. These will be of assistance in preparing similar models here. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) added, during the year, to the series of petroleum products which they had previously pre- sented, 182 specimens of lubricating oils, greases and candles. The same donors also provided glass containers for the exhibit. These, to- gether with the previous donations from this company form a complete series illustrating the various stages of the distillation of petroleum and the products obtained therefrom. Mr. Austin Q. Millar made a gift of 25 specimens of the typical diamond-bearing rocks of Arkansas and the minerals which accompany the diamond there. Mr. George Tollefson presented an unsual spec- imen of botryoidal malachite which he collected at a copper mine in the Belgian Congo, Africa. A peat from Russia given by Mr. Marcus 104 FieLp MuseuM oF NaTurRAL History—Reports, Vor. VI. Hill is a welcome addition to the peat collection, as it represents a locality where this material has recently come into extensive use. Mr. HH. K. Thurber gave five specimens of high-grade radium and vanadium ores from Utah and Colorado. From the United States Gypsum Com- pany there was received a carefully prepared series numbering 48 specimens, illustrating industrial products obtained from gypsum and their uses. This collection combines features of attractiveness and ' instruction in an unusual degree. The most important accession by purchase was that of an iron meteorite, from Navajo, Arizona. This is a mass weighing 3,306 Ibs. and is the largest meteorite specimen now in this collection. In addition to its size, it has other interesting and unusual features. Another entire iron meteorite, a new fall weigh- ing 26 Ibs., was obtained from Dungannon, Virginia. Zootocy. The accessions in the Department of Zoology, though neither large nor numerous, were, nevertheless, of considerable value. The very extensive collections obtained by the Museum’s expeditions in Peru. have not yet been received. Among the mammals, the most noteworthy accessions were two Alaska mountain sheep, presented by Mr. William Rindsfoos of Columbus, Ohio; two mountain sheep obtained by Mr. W. J. Morden of Chicago, in the Yukon and given to the Museum; and two Mexican mountain sheep, a gift from Dr. A. P. Chesterfield of Detroit, Michigan. Mr. Carl Akeley presented four white-tailed deer. Forty-seven mammals were obtained by the Museum’s botanical expedition to British Guiana. The most valuable bird acquisition, by purchase, was a passenger pigeon, which was killed in Indiana about fifty-two years ago. This species, which only a generation ago was exceedingly abundant, is now extinct. The few specimens that are still in the hands of private owners are gradually being acquired by various museums. Another acquisition, also by purchase, was a collection of 132 birds from Illinois, Alaska and New Zealand. A notable gift from Mr. Ashley Hine consisted of fifty well pre- pared birds from western Canada. The greater part of this donation can be used to advantage in replacing some of the rather poorly mounted specimens in the exhibit of birds arranged systematically. Although most of the fishes acquired were obtained by means of expeditions, some very desirable acquisitions were received from other sources. An accession of 1,784 Panama salt-water fishes represents the final division of the results of the Museum’s participation in the ichthyological survey of the Isthmus of Panama. A collection JAN., 1923. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DiRECTOR. 105 consisting of 2,797 specimens was obtained on Museum expeditions working along the Dupage, Kankakee, Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. Important donations were made by the Booth Fisheries Company. One of these was a large “fat bass,’ weighing over three hundred pounds and measuring over six feet in length. It was taken at a depth of 1,476 feet in the Pacific Ocean. Other welcome gifts, from the same source, were a large halibut weighing, when dressed, a hundred and ten pounds; a king salmon caught in Lake Michigan, where this Pacific Coast species has been successfully introduced; starry floun- ders, one of the most showy of the flounder group; and a rat-fish, a representative of a group probably older than the one containing the sharks. From the Tuna Club, Catalina Island, through the much ap- preciated kindness of Mr. Keith Spalding, some very interesting game fishes have been received, among them being a sheepshead, alba- core, California white bass, California yellow-tail, California barra- cuda and a skipjack. Over 290 specimens of reptiles and amphibians were received from Museum expeditions. Of this number, seventy-nine are to be credited to the botanical expedition to British Guiana; forty-nine to the work done by Mr. Weed and Mr. Pray on the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers, and 165 to local field work by various members of the Department. One of the important gifts, received from the Museum of Comparative Zoology, consisted of fifty lizards from the Fiji Islands. All of the species represented in this acquisition were new to the collection. Other noteworthy acquisitions were a gift of 106 specimens from Florida and Texas, received from the Aquarium of Rothschild’s De- partment Store, through the courtesy of Mr. F. S. Young; and 115 specimens from Indiana, donated by Mr. L. L. Walters. Of the limited number of skeletons accessioned, ten were obtained through various expeditions, while five were gifts from various donors. Among the insects accessioned were several acquisitions worthy of mention. By purchase, there were received 225 specimens, mainly beetles, from South Cameroon, Africa. This lot included four perfect examples of the goliath beetle. The Museum’s collection of hawk- moths was further increased by a donation of thirty specimens by Mr. B. Preston Clark of Boston. From Dr. C. E. Hellmayr sixty - butterflies and four moths from the highlands of central Europe were received as a gift. By means of local field trips, some very desirable specimens were also obtained. The total number of accessions is 6,666, distributed as follows: Mammals, 98; Birds, 268; Fishes, 4,850; Reptiles and Amphibians, 641; Skeletons, 15; Insects, 924. 106 FreLp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. EXPEDITIONS The year was notable for an unprecedented activity in the field, the importance of which cannot easily be overestimated. As many as twelve expeditions of major importance, representing all the de- partments of the Museum were sent out, eight of which operated in South America which had been selected as a special field for explora- tion. In addition to the expeditions previously mentioned, an expedition, in which Field Museum is cooperating with the University of Oxford, England, has been dispatched to Mesopotamia to explore and excavate the ancient city of Kish, from which important results are expected. ANTHROPOLOGY. The Department of Anthropology at present has three expeditions in the field. Assistant Curator J. Alden Mason left Chicago on the roth of April for the purpose of making an archaeologi- cal survey of Colombia. Arriving at his destination at Santa Marta toward the end of April, he has since conducted a very active and suc- cessful campaign, travelling along the coast by canoe and over unbeaten tracks in the interior of the country. Near the Cape of San Juan de Guia he discovered the extensive ruins of an ancient city, which pos- sessed stone-paved roads, where he camped for three months. At the end of August, when the work on the best sites was completed, he proceeded by canoe to the bay of Gairaca, where he explored an old Indian ceme- tery in which he found an enormous number of burialwurns of immense size, many of which contained fine objects of stone, shell, bone or metal. From there he proceeded to Nahuange, the next bay to the east, where three or four very large mounds yielded excellent results. He found a dozen pottery vessels of artistic quality, among which were the first jars with painted decorations he had so far discovered. They contained upwards of 8,000 carnelian beads, a number of exceptionally fine gold objects, and remarkable ornaments and figurines of a translticent mottled green stone which outwardly resembles jade. In early Decem- ber the expedition was based on Bonda, a small village, a few miles inland from Santa Marta, formerly the center of a large Indian popu- lation. Dr. Mason expects to remain in the field until the end of next April to continue and complete his work in Colombia, and particularly to undertake excavations in Pocigueca, the old capital of the Indians, which is situated in the mountains near Santa Marta. He has already made several shipments to the Museum amounting to some three thousand specimens, which include pottery, gold ornaments, necklaces of stone and shell beads, very fine stone implements, and carved fig- urines. Several hundred negatives have also been received. JAN., 1923. ANNUAL REporT OF THE DIRECTOR. 107 In view of the fact that the Museum possesses extensive collections from the Philippines on the one hand, and from the Melanesian Islands on the other, it was proposed as the next logical step to fill the gap between these two areas by engaging in intensive work in the Malay Archipelago. The culture of the Philippine tribes can be fully com- prehended only in connection with that of the other branches of the Malayan family, and must be correlated with the history of the entire stock. Research was therefore recommended in the Malay Penin- sula, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo for the purpose of shedding more light on the early history of the Philippines, and the movements and migrations of the Malayans in general. At the same time it was proposed to secure representative collections adequately illustrating the life, industries and religions of these peoples. In consideration of his former experiences in the Philippines, Assistant Curator Cole was appointed head of the Malaysian expedi- tion, which will remain in the field for a period of approximately eighteen months. Dr. Cole left Chicago on the roth of June for a brief visit to England and Holland for the purpose of benefiting by the advice of ethnologists familiar with the Malayan field, and study- ing collections from this quarter in the museums abroad. He reached Singapore on the 7th of September and proceeded from there to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of the Federated Malay States. Accompanied by Dr. Robinson, director of the States Museum, he made an excursion into Pahang, the heart of the country of the Sakai, who live in small scattered groups in the high mountains. He spent ten days there gathering information and accumulating material. Subsequently he paid a visit to the state of Perak for the purpose of studying the Semang and the Malay. At Kuala Kangsar, the home of the Sultan of Perak, he succeeded in obtaining such beautiful material, as rich embroideries, fine sarongs and other cloths, some excellent silver, brass, and iron work, and even a royal sarong from the palace. A shipment of nine boxes has been advised by him. Afterwards, he proceeded to Batavia, and from there to Padang, Sumatra, where he is at present engaged in work among the Menangkabau. The Mesopotamia Expedition was organized to excav vate the ancient capital of Sumer and Akkad, eight miles east of the city of Babylon. The ancient name of this locality was Kish; at present it is known by its Arabic name Tell El-Ohemer. Kish was the seat of the oldest dynasty known in history, and was also the seat of three more powerful later dynasties which ruled all Western Asia from 4500 B.c. to 2800 B.c. After that period, Kish occupied a prominent place in the history of 108 Fretp Museum oF NAatTuraAL History—Reports, Vor. VI. Babylonia until Babylonian history came to a close in the fifth and fourth centuries B.c. The mounds of ancient Kish probably contain the remnants of one of the earliest periods of mankind and the relics of an ancient civilization extending over a span of more than four thousand years. It is expected that the work of this expedition will yield exceed- ingly interesting and important results, and will shed light on the earliest phase of the cultural life of mankind in Babylonia. It is also a novel departure for the Museum, in that the civilizations of Mesopotamia have not yet been represented in its collections. The expedition is under the supervision of Professor S. H. Langdon, head of the Department of Assyriology, Oxford University and a prominent scholar in Semitic , philology. A party of excavators left England for Bagdad at the be- ginning of November, and is expected to remain in the East for a period of three years. Botany. Three expeditions of major importance were undertaken by the Department of Botany during the year. Mr. J. F. Macbride and Mr. William Featherstone were commissioned ‘to collect botanical material in Peru. They sailed from New York, on March 22nd, and arrived at Lima, Peru, on April 3rd, where eight days were spent in making arrangements for work in the interior. During this time, ac- quaintance was made with Doctor A. Weberbauer, a Peruvian collector of many years’ experience in the region, and also with Doctor R. Aspiazu and Mr. Albertio Peri. Much valuable assistance and infor- mation concerning the interior’ were obtained from these gentlemen. On April 12th the Expedition left for Matucana, six hours from Lima, and at an altitude of 8,000 feet. Five hundred (500) numbers were secured at this point, after which the Expedition joined that of the Department of Zoology in the hills at Chosica, where Mr. Macbride, finding the region very interesting from a botanical standpoint, re- mained, while Mr. Featherstone, with the heavier botanical equipment, went on with the Zoological party to establish a base at Huanuco, sixty miles down the Huallaga River from Cerro de Pasco. Mr. Macbride continued collecting at Viso and at Rio Blanco, 11,000 feet altitude. At these two points about 400 specimens were procured, after which he moved on to Casapalca from whence side trips were made to Morococha and Yauli. At the latter place snow and sleet fell daily. After three days’ collecting, he moved on to La Oroya and — later to Tarma and San Jose. Through the kindness of M. Paul Adrien and M, Jullier of the Huaron Mining Company, he was enabled to collect at Shelby, five hours distant. FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.

STANLEY FIELD BRITISH GUIANA EXPEDITION. AN., 1923. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 10¢ 9 At San Jose, Sr. Galjuf, a coal mine owner, very hospitably enter- tained Mr. Macbride, and generously made him a loan of four horses and an arriero to take him to Huanaco, 120 miles distant. During the journey, stops were made at Mina Ragra, (altitude 15,700 feet) and at Andachaca, Yanahuanca, Uspachaca, Hacienda Cabello, Hacienda Huertas, Hacienda Ambo and at Hacienda Chinche. A number of side trips were made from each of these stations, several of which necessitated remaining out on the plains over night in very cold weather. Reaching Huanaco, the arriero and horses were sent back to Sr. Galjuf, and work was continued at this point with side trips to Mito, collecting at the latter place until August 16th. A journey was also made from here, on foot, to Llata, sixty miles to the west on the river Maranon, returning September ist. From Mito the upper Hual- laga river was followed to its source near Cerro de Pasco. The expe- dition returned from there to Huanaco, where preparations were made to proceed to the coast at Casma, instead of returning to Lima by rail. Leaving Mito on September 27th, the expedition proceeded on foot,: with three pack mules, over the trail to Huaraz on the western side of the Andes, where it arrived October 5th. Leaving Huaraz on October 7th, with horses, for Casma, the trip over the coastal desert region proved so hot that night travel became compulsory. Collections were secured at twenty-seven different localities between Mito and Casma. From there the expedition shipped on the r1ith of October on a local steamer for Callao, where it transhipped for New York on the 13th, arriving at the latter place on October 27th. The expedition secured in all 2,576 numbers, including about 7,000 specimens, of which 100 were economic material such as native foods, fibers, sugars, “flours” used as bases for native drinks, as well as crude articles of native manufacture. An expedition, financed by the President of the Museum, was sent to British Guiana, particularly for the purpose of securing botan- ical exhibition material and studies for the plant reproductions in the Department of Botany. Doctor B. E. Dahlgren, with Mr. J. R. Millar as aid, were absent from the Museum for about six months. Grenada, Trinidad and Dutch Guiana were visited, but most of the time was spent in British Guiana. The privileges of the Botanic Garden at George- town were generously extended to the expedition, for which thanks are due, particularly to Mr. W. Francis, Acting Director, Department of Science and Agriculture, British Guiana, and to Mr. H. Ward, Superintendent of the Garden. Mr. Chester N. Davies, American Consul in Georgetown rendered efficient aid in connection with the 110 Fretp MuseuM or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. customs formalities. A small cottage within a short distance of the Botanic Garden was rented to serve as a laboratory and headquarters. A dark-room was improvised for the photographic work, and the bulk of the collections was assembled there. Large pieces which required more space for storage and facilities for handling, drying and packing were generously accommodated by Messrs. Sproston’s Ltd., at their wood-working mills. Two hundred and thirty-five plaster moulds, 427 economic speci- mens and 52 branches were accumulated, which will serve as a basis for plant reconstructions or reproductions for the botanical exhibits. Among these subjects are such interesting forms as the Cannonball tree (Couroupita) ; the large flowered Clusia; the marantaceous Mucro (Ischnosiphon), which furnishes the Guiana Indians with their prin- cipal basket material; the curiously developed fruit of the Cashew with its seed hanging exposed below the fleshy, edible peduncle; Dul- lenia and Lagerstramia, both East Indian trees, but found cultivated in the American tropics; a banyan-like Willow Fig (Ficus Benjamina) ; and a small Courida tree with its remarkable aerial roots or pneumato- phores. A chocolate tree was secured from the Fernandes Estate at Coveden. A considerable number of herbarium specimens and economic material were collected in Georgetown and in Surinam, and 975 negatives were made. Arrangements were made in Dutch Guiana for government cooperation in securing a collection of Surinam woods, and an agreement was made with a local collector in British Guiana to continue collecting herbarium and economic specimens for the Museum. Some geological and a number of zoological specimens were obtained, among them an Anaconda, a “labba’’ (Coelogenys) and an “Agouti” (Dasyprocta) which were brought home alive. The two latter were presented by the Museum to the Lincoln Park Zoological Gardens. The bulky collections were most carefully packed and reached Chicago in excellent condition. As palms form a conspicuous feature of the flora of the Guianas, and the Botanic Garden and public grounds of Georgetown are rich in introduced species, advantage was taken of the opportunity to secure an extensive collection of dried flowering and fruiting palm spadices, which, together with leaves and photographs of each of some hundred species, form a most valuable and desirable accession to the exhibition and study collections. Conspicuous among them are an entire dried fruit cluster of the Ita Palm, dried flowering spadices and fruit clusters of two species of Attalea, and a perfect specimen of the rarely seen male flowering spadix of the double or Seychelles coconut. JAN., 1923. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. Cia The reason that such striking objects are seldom seen in museums is no doubt to be found in the difficulties of drying and packing for shipment. Clusters of palm fruits, when drying, have a habit of shedding their fruits. It was found that this could be prevented to a large extent by a preliminary killing of the tissues by means of a brief boiling. A vat in a cooperage was utilized, thus rendering it possible to treat even the largest pieces in this manner. The Curator of the Department of Botany spent seven weeks, in September and October, working on South American plants in the herbaria at Paris and London. While at ‘these institutions he was fortunate in arranging exchanges through which this Museum will receive a large amount of material of the earlier collectors in Colombia. Ecuador, Peru and Brazil. Of these, over 3,000 specimens have already been received. GeoLtocy. Early in the year, the Curator of Geology visited Navajo, Arizona, to examine a meteorite that had been found there. lt proved on examination to be a mass of much interest, and negotia- tions were entered into, which resulted in its being acquired by the Museum. The surroundings of the place of fall of the meteorite were carefully examined, and a full series of photographs of the locality was made. During the year the Curator spent :several months collecting in 3razil. It was desired to secure as full a series as possible of the important minerals and ores of that country, and this object, so far as the opportunties afforded by a single season would permit, was fully attained. Starting from Rio de Janeiro with a companion, Ouro Preto, the former capital of the State of Minas Geraes, and the center of much of the mining industry was reached by rail. Here collections were made in the topaz district, and about the manganese mines of Burnier and the gold mines of Passagem and Morro Velho. Travel was then continued on mule-back for a distance of about 250 miles to Diamantina, passing through the vast iron ore fields about Itabira do Matto Dentro and Conceicao, visiting the aquamarine and other mines of the pegma- tites of Brejauba and Serro, and several more or less abandoned gold and diamond workings of the Caraca quartzite. Some of the diamond mines in the vicinity of Diamantina were visited and collections made of the typical diamond-bearing rocks and satellites of the diamond. Numerous specimens of optical and other quartzes from various localities in the Serra do Cabral were also collected. Returning to Rio de Janeiro, a journey was made to the basin of eruptive rocks in Caldas ri2 FieLtp Museum or Naturat History—Reports, Vor. VI. in the northern part of the state of Sao Paulo, where a full series of the remarkable deposits of zirkite and the syenitic rocks of that area were collected. In all, about 1,000 specimens of typical gems, minerals and ores of Brazil were collected. The specimens included large topazes, aquamarines, quartzes and citrines, and full representa- tions of the characteristic gold, iron, manganese and aluminum ores of the region. About one hundred and fifty negatives, illustrating min- eral occurrences or other features of the regions visited, were also made. Active collecting in vertebrate paleontology was also resumed. Two able and experienced collectors, Mr. George M. Sternberg and Mr. J. B. Abbott, were engaged, and under the direction of Associate Curator Riggs, two successive expeditions for collecting vertebrate fossils were made during the year. The first expedition, leaving the Museum in the latter part of May, operated in Canada for about three months. The purpose of this expedition was the acquisition of fossil dinosaurs in the basin of the Red Deer river in the Province of Alberta. Two nearly complete skeletons and some leg bones of several “duckbill” or Trachodont dinosaurs were secured, also a portion of a skeleton of a carnivorous dinosaur, a good skull of a “crested” dinosaur and an incomplete skull of what appears to be a hitherto unknown species of dinosaur. A fossil trunk of a Sequoia tree, 37 feet long and averaging about 18 inches in diameter, was another valuable specimen obtained, a peculiar feature of this specimen being, that while the heartwood or interior wood was silicified, the sapwood was in part changed to lignite. Carapaces and plastrons of four fossil turtles and about 100 specimens of invertebrate and plant fossils were also obtained in the region. Much of the material obtained was in localities so distant from established highways that considerable time and labor had to be devoted to build- ing temporary roads. The total weight of specimens, which have been received at the Museum as a result of the work of this expedition, is about ten tons. After returning from Alberta, Messrs. Riggs, Sternberg and Abbott sailed for Buenos Aires about the middle of November, for the purpose of collecting in Argentina specimens of the large Pleistocene vertebrates and their ancestors that are to be found in that country. During the southern summer the party proposes to visit southern Patagonia and work northward as the winter advances. As the party did not reach the field until the latter part of December, no results from this expe- dition can be reported as yet. Associate Curator Nichols spent about a week in the vicinity of JAN., 1923. ANNUAL Report OF THE DIRECTOR. 113 LaSalle, Illinois, making photographs and securing data for construct- ing a model of a cement plant. Advantage was taken of the opportunity to obtain representative specimens of several forms of concretions, shales and limestones characteristic of the region. ZooLtocy. Preparations for zoological expeditions were begun early in the year and it was decided to continue in Central Peru, work which was begun there in 1912. Accordingly, Mr. J. T. Zimmer, Assistant Curator of Birds, sailed from New York on March 22nd, and three weeks later, on April 12th, Mr. Edmund Heller, Assistant Curator of Mammals, and Mrs. Hilda Hempel Heller sailed to join him. This party worked in cooperation with the botanical expedition to the same region conducted by Mr. J. F. Macbride and Mr. William’ Featherstone. They sailed direct to Callao, Peru, and, after brief preliminary work on the arid western slopes of the Andes, proceeded by rail to the ele- vated mining town of Cerro de Pasco, and thence down the eastern slopes of the mountains. Having organized for travel, they worked independently, Mr. Heller devoting himself to the collection of mam- mals, Mrs. Heller assisting him and giving special attention to photog- raphy, while Mr. Zimmer made collections of birds. They arranged to work intensively in the region about the headwaters of the three important tributaries of the Amazon, the Maranon, the Huallaga and the Ucayali. Bases were, therefore, established at the small towns of Ambo and Huanuco and successive excursions were made into the valleys of the three rivers mentioned and to the partly isolated high- lands lying between them. It was thus possible to work from as great a height as 15,000 feet down to the hot forests on the Amazonian plain, covering a range of physical conditions of great variety. These plans were successfully carried out, and as this report is being written, the expedition is moving eastward to work in the Upper Amazon Valley above Iquitos, whence it is expected to return early in 1923. Owing to uncertainties of transportation in remote regions, it was deemed advisable to store the collections until they could be escorted to the railroad for shipment. Therefore, nothing has so far been received from the expedition. The importance of the collections can- not be fully judged until they have been studied, but, so far as re- ported, they will surpass, both in extent and importance, any similar collections previously made in Peru. They will, apparently, number 3,000 or more actual specimens, among them being many rare and some unknown animals. In continuation of the Museum’s exploration of South America, the & ‘ 1 II4 FieLtp Museum or NAtTurRAL History—Reports, Vot..VI. ‘| Curator of Zoology, accompanied by Mr. C. C. Sanborn, Assistant in the Division of Birds, and Mr. Boardman Conover, sailed on November 16th from New York, via Panama, for Valparaiso, Chile. This expe- dition will give its attention to the fauna of southern and central Chile, including some large, but little worked, islands along the coast. Mr. Sanborn will collect principally in Chile, and will remain in the field throughout the year 1923. The other members of the party, after working in Chile, will visit important points in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, and return to Chicago late in 1923. In addition to expeditions sent to distant regions, several were also made to neighboring districts. Worthy of special mention were the results of one, made by the Assistant Curator of Fishes and the fish taxidermist, along the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. On this expe- dition, 1,080 specimens were obtained, as well as plaster casts and color notes needed to reproduce some of the most interesting species.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. ITS INSTALLATION, RE-ARRANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT ANTHROPOLOGY. In the Department of Anthropology ninety exhi- bition cases were newly installed during the year. The total number of cases at present on exhibition in the halls of the Department, inclu- sive of the new Halls [ and J on the ground floor, amounts to 744. Busts of prehistoric races of man, modeled by Professor McGregor of Columbia University, have been installed in Case 3, Stanley Field Hall. The Pithecanthropus erectus of Java, the Neanderthal man of La Chapelle-aux-Saints and the Cro-magnon\ man of western Europe are shown there, together with a series of casts of skulls. Another addition made to Stanley Field Hall is the green-glazed pottery mastiff presented by Mr. Martin A. Ryerson, which is placed in Case 7. The Roman bath-tub formerly in Case 3 has been removed into Edward FE. Ayer Hall. In consequence of the new plan to concentrate all the Egyptian collections in a specially constructed room on the ground floor, Edward E. Ayer Hall was subjected to a thorough revision. Nine standard cases containing Egyptian antiquities and seventeen special cases con- taining Egyptian mummies were conveyed from there to their new quarters. To take their place, five cases were newly installed, two containing reproductions of Irish antiquities, and three displaying Roman lamps and candelabra, and red-figured vases from Italy. While in the previous arrangement the cases were three abreast, they are now arranged in pairs, which has considerably improved the appearance of the hall, which now shelters 42 cases, instead of 62 as formerly. For the Roman frescoes, new labels were prepared and installed, and twenty-two reproductions of antique furniture on wooden bases have been distributed between the pilasters. In Hall 4, six cases containing Nootka, Athapascan and Coast Salish material were re-installed, and the labeling both in this and Mary D. Sturges Hall was completed. During the year the extensive Plains Indian collections of the Museum in Hall 5 have been re-organized, and in large part re-installed by Assistant Curator, Ralph Linton, who assumed his duties on February 1. Twenty-eight newly installed cases have thus far been placed on exhibition. The tribes of this region fall into three divisions. On the eastern edge of the Plains and along some of the rivers were settled tribes which tilled the ground, and whose culture had much in common with that of the tribes of the wooded country farther east. The central region was occupied by 116 Fietp Museum or NATURAL History—REeEports, Vor. VI. nomadic tribes devoted to hunting, who practised little or no agriculture, and subsisted principally on the buffalo. Their culture was distinctive, and its affiliations have never been satisfactorily established. On the western edge of the Plains lived still other tribes whose culture was intermediate between that of the central tribes and that of the Indians of the Rocky Mountain plateau. The new arrangement of Hall 5 is designed to emphasize these differences, and to enable the visitor to receive and carry away a clear idea of the mode of life of each of these three divisions. The south section of the Hall is devoted to the hunting tribes of the central region, the Cheyenne and Arapaho being taken as typical representatives of this group. These two tribes were in close alliance for many years; their ordinary artifacts and method of life were identical. Beginning at the west end of the Hall, the visitor is shown, first, the utilitarian side of their culture, with exhibits illustrating their appliances for travel and hunting, their tools amd utensils, their clothing, ornaments and weapons, as well as their dwell- ings and household furniture. Following these are exhibits which illustrate their religious life. Various objects used in the Sun Dance are displayed, together with a collection of the insignia of the men’s and women’s societies that is nearly complete. These insignia are of special interest, several of the objects being the only specimens of their kind now in existence. The last four cases on this side are devoted to the Crow, a tribe living to the north of the Cheyenne and Arapaho, and differing from them in minor details only. The collec- tion has been so arranged as to emphasize these variations, which are most marked along the line of costume and decorative art. A new group, consisting of a Crow woman in festive dress leading a horse decorated with full trappings, has been installed in the central aisle. The northwest quarter of the Hall contains material from the Black- foot, Assiniboin and Dakota tribes of the Central Plains, which also differed in some respects from the Cheyenne and Arapaho. The ex- hibits are especially designed to illustrate these features which were distinctive in the culture of each tribe. The Dakota form a link between the tribes of the Central Plains and those of the eastern border, their western bands being nomadic hunters, and their eastern settled agriculturists. Because of the pressure of the whites, many of the eastern Dakota joined their nomadic relatives, and objects of eastern origin were thus carried far out into the Plains. A number of such objects is shown, including medicine bags of a form characteristic of the central Algonquins. The central portion of the north side of the Hall is devoted to the various village tribes of the Plains. The Osage AN., 1923. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 117 ’ ) / have been chosen as typical of a number of Sioux tribes living on the eastern edge of the area. Many of their artifacts, notably their woven bags and sashes, bear a strong resemblance to those made by the Woodland tribes still farther east, which are shown in the adjoining section of Hall 4. The Arikara serve as representatives of a group of three settled tribes, the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara, who for- merly lived on the upper Missouri. They built large permanent houses, manufactured pottery, and also made a peculiar form of carrying basket, similar in its weaving to the basketry of the southeastern forest tribes. Examples of both their pottery and basketry are placed on exhibition. The life of the Pawnee and Wichita, tribes of the same linguistic stock as the Arikara, who lived farther to the south, is illus- trated by representative collections. These tribes were remarkable for the high development of their religious beliefs and ceremonial obser- vances, and the exhibits include sacred bundles and other objects of paramount interest. Material from the Ute, Bannock, and Shoshone has been placed in the northeast section of the Hall, adjoining the collections from the Plateau tribes exhibited in Hall 4. These three tribes seem to have moved out into the Plains in comparatively recent times, and their culture shows a blend of features characteristic of the tribes of the Plains and Plateau area. They differ from the Central Plains tribes principally in their extensive use of basketry and in their retarded social and religious development. The arrangement of the collections attempts to demonstrate these diversities. In Hall 6 a case of Apache clothing has been re-installed more effectively. Twenty-one cases have been removed from Joseph N. Field Hall, for the purpose of obtaining more space and of opening up the cen- tral portion. All the old false-back cases will be eliminated and re- placed by screen or shelf cases. In order to retain the representative character of these valuable collections it will be necessary to reinstall most of the cases, but the material will be considerably condensed in the process. Three new cases dealing with New Ireland, the Admiralty and Solomon Islands have already been installed with material taken from six old cases. In this manner room will be made for several cases of new material, not yet exhibited, from New Guinea and some of the surrounding islands. The installation of a special hall of Oriental Theatricals on the ground floor necessitated the removal of twelve cases from Hall 24. A quantity of Chinese material was also released from storage, and nine new cases were installed as fol- lows: Ancient bone carvings, seals and amulets; bronzes of the Sung, Ming and Manchu periods; decorative bronze, chiefly censers and 118 FteELD MusEUM oF NATURAL History—ReEports, Vor. VI. candlesticks illustrating representations of animals; cloisonné enamel, painted enamel, iron and bronze inlaid with gold and silver wire; household objects of tin, including a set given as dower to a Peking bride; carvings of wood, bamboo, roots, ivory and lacquer; hide armor, weapons and utensils of the Lolo (cf. p. 97); Buddhist stone sculpture of the Sung, Ming and Manchu periods; and Buddhist votive figures of bronze, gilt bronze and clay of the early periods (Cases 1A, 22-24, 26, 37, 49, 56). The addition of these cases resulted in a new and improved arrangement of the Hall. Fifteen maps were placed in the twelve cases on the south gallery containing the models of Chi- nese pagodas, the locality of each pagoda being indicated on the map. One of the Chinese screens deposited by Mrs. Marshall Field, Sr., is shown in Room 23. The William Wrigley and Arthur B. Jones collection of Indian sculpture will be assembled in a single standard case and placed in Hall 32 in order to ensure its proper geographical setting. The Tibetan bone apron, presented by Mr. Jones, will be found in Case 74. To this Hall was also added a new case containing the Tibetan stone sculpture obtained by the Blackstone Expedition. These pieces have not been exhibited before and are exceedingly rare. Owing to the removal of Japanese exhibits into Frank W. Gunsaulus Hall, it became necessary to modify the arrangement of the central portion of Hall 32. The gap was filled by two cases installed with shields and weapons, copper, brass and bidri ware from India. Four stone statues from Java, an old acquisition of the Museum, were likewise placed on exhibition, and the gold image, received from the Philippines this year, is shown in H. N. Higinbotham Hall. All cases in this Hall, as well as in Hall 24, were renumbered. The moving of cases in the former Hall for the purpose of recalcimining the walls necessitated rearrangement of specimens in the nine wall-cases. Room 33 in the northwest corner of the second floor, formerly named Frank W. Gunsaulus Hall, proved too small to contain all the Japanese collections of the Museum. After the removal of the Library to the third floor, provision was made for this section to be accommodated in Hall 30 in the southeast corner of the second floor. These two rooms are now known as Frank W. Gunsaulus Hall, and were thrown open to the public on the 5th of August. Both the old and new acquisitions from Japan are here exhibited in thirteen cases, the smaller room being assigned to a display of surimono. The large tapestry representing a procession to the temples of Nikko, which had been withdrawn from exhibition for several years, has been re-instated to its former prom- JAN., 1923. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 11g inence. The Gunsaulus collection of Japanese sword mounts has been re-installed in two cases specially built in the Museum. This collection was received in 1916 and was installed by the curator’in 1917 in two standard cases which held the entire collection. It was deemed advis- able, however, to adopt a selective method in dealing with them, and 228 guards and 118 smaller mounts with six mounted swords of various forms were picked for exhibition. The sword-guards or tsuba exhibit- ed are arranged as far as possible in chronological order. The develop- ment of decorative design as applied to them may be traced from the sixteenth-century iron specimens, which are either plain or ornamented with open work, chiselling, or brass inlay, down to the eighteenth or nineteenth century, when they were often made of alloys and adorned with precious metals in relief. The specimens, which illustrate the work of almost all the important artists of sword mounts, are grouped according to schools and provinces. The remainder of the collection of sword mounts is classified and deposited in a cabinet in Room 51 (third floor), where it is available for students. In Hall I located in the center of the ground floor, a new plan has been formulated in order to bring together the popular pastimes and theatrical performances as practised in Oriental countries. The object of these exhibits is to illustrate, as far as it is possible with the mate- rial at present in the Museum’s possession, the development of dramatic art in the Orient. The exhibits are grouped in geographical order as follows: stage scene from the greatest religious drama of the Chinese (Case I, continued in Cases 2-4) ; the dance of the lions, China (Case 5); actors’ masks from a play formerly given in honor of an emperor’s birthday, and representing the principal gods and goddesses of the Taoist religion, China «(Cases 6-7); the shadow-play, China (Cases 8-9) ; masks used in mystery-plays of the Lamas, and costumed figures with masks, Tibet (Cases 10-17); puppet play, Java (Cases 18-19) ; orchestral instruments accompanying performances, Java (Cases 20- 21); actors’ masks, head-dresses and costumes, Java (Cases 22-25) ; Singhalese masks used by actors in pantomimes and comedies, and others used by sorcerers in the healing of disease (Cases 26-28). Of these 28 cases 16 were newly installed and labeled during the year. The Chinese stage scene was shown in the old building in a condensed manner in a case 13 x 7 feet. This case has been doubled in size, making it possible to display the figures and paraphernalia in exactly the same manner as shown on the Chinese stage. The blocks of two Mastaba tombs from Egypt were unpacked and laid out in order in the south hall of the ground floor. All of them were found in a 120 Fretp Museum or NaturaLt History—Reports, Vor. VI. surprisingly good condition and will require no treatment. Preparations are well under way to erect the tombs at the earliest opportunity. Four old cases have been remodeled and renovated, nine screens were built, and storage racks for the modeler’s quarters and Room 35 (physical anthropology) were erected. In Room 66 the Chinese paint- ings were systematically arranged in the cabinet specially built for their accommodation last year. The Indian baskets presented by Mr. Homer E. Sargent were tribally grouped and stored in the same room. Indian house models were stored in Room 36. The material shipped by Dr. Mason from Colombia was checked and stored in racks in Room 40, valuables being deposited in the office safe. Storage cases in the clerestories of the fourth floor were re-arranged. In the modeling, section of the Department three Japanese women’s heads, hands, and feet were completed and utilized for the exhibition of Japanese cos- tumes. The small working model of a New Guinea village group was completed in July, and the foundation was built for the actual model to be made on the scale of 8’x8’. Fifty injured specimens required for exhibition were restored, and forty dummies were made for the exhi- bition of Plains Indians’ costumes. Moulds and other accessories were arranged in the newly built storage racks. Material in 116 exhibition and storage cases was poisoned during the year. Botany. The Section of Plant Reproductions (Stanley Field Laboratories), completed and placed on exhibition during the past year the following plant studies: A complete natural size Pineapple Plant in full leaf and flower; a life size plant of the Water Hyacinth in flower; a number of flowers of the Four o’ Clock arranged to illustrate Mendelian inheritance; and a branch of Agatlis in fruit and one of Hymenaea were added to the amber-like resin case in Stanley Field Hall. Work was begun, and in some cases is near completion, on the following life size plant reproductions: The “Cajou”’ (Anacardium occidentale), a branch in full leaf and fruit; Dillenia, a leafing, flower- ing and fruiting branch; Clusia, a fruiting and flowering leafy branch; edible Passion flower fruits; Borassus Palm, a fruiting spadix; “Cicana”’, a cucumber-like gourd similar in taste to a cantaloupe, and which has a delightful fragrance; a complete plant of the Florida “Coontie’, Zamia floridana; an enlarged flower of the “Neem” or “Margosa” tree, Melia Azediracha; a whole plant of the Mistletoe in flower, leaf and fruit; flowers of the Chocolate plant; and a number of enlarged fibers of various economic fiber plants such as cotton, hemp, flax, ramie, jute and others. FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY. REPORTS, PLATE. XxXiil. IRON METEORITE FROM NAVAJO, ARIZONA. WEIGHT, 3,006 POUNDS. JAN., 1923. ANNUAL REpORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 121 Four blocks of new steel cases have been added to the equipment of the Herbarium, which provide 768 additional pigeonholes for the accommodation of the collections. GroLocy. In the Department of Geology, the Navajo meteorite acquired during the year was installed in a floor case in Hall 34. Space for the installation was obtained by consolidating in one case specimens of the Canyon Diablo meteorites, which had previously occupied two cases. The installation of the entire meteorite collection was also improved during the year by mounting all the specimens on individual blocks. Reconstruction and mounting of the skeleton of Columbian mam- moth presented by Mr. George Manierre in 1914 was completed early in the year, and the mount placed on exhibition in Hall 38. The work of reconstruction, in addition to that mentioned in the report of last year, included modelling and coloring of some leg bones, ribs and foot bones. A new steel framework for supporting the skeleton was also constructed, this work being done in the Museum laboratories. In this construction a very satisfactory combination of lightness and strength was obtained. A new base was also prepared, this being of standard Museum pattern, but with an inset of plaster, modelled and colored to represent ground. The skeleton is posed in the attitude assumed by the animal in walking. A specimen of the head of a Devonian fish, Macropetalichthys, which had been dissected for examination by Dr. Erik Stensio of the University of Upsala, during a stay of ten days at the Museum, was reinstalled in such a manner as to make the dissected parts visible. In preparing this specimen for exhibition all the bony parts were given a thin stain of water-color of a brown tint which was characteristic of the bone of the specimen. The delicate veins and arteries were then picked out in a slightly lighter, and the nervous system in’a slightly darker color. The matrix was given a gray stain similar to that of the original matrix. These stains, being approximately the color of the underlying material, do not materially affect the appearance of the specimen, beyond making its minute features more evident. The separate pieces used for study of the specimen were then assembled into a fewer number of larger ones, for which a special type of sup- port was prepared. This was done by covering the backs of the assem- bled specimens with a sheet of tin-foil. Over this foil a plaster sup- port was cast, and after it had hardened this was removed and the tin-foil discarded. The plaster was then trimmed, shellacked and colored. The specimen, thus mounted, makes a good exhibit, and yet 122 IFieLD Museum or Naturat History—ReEports, Vou. VI. may be readily dissembled for close study. The results of Dr. Stensio’s study of the specimen, the publication of which is expected shortly, promise to furnish an important contribution to paleontology, since the specimen afforded for the first time an opportunity to obtain an exact and detailed knowledge of the shape of the brain and details of the nervous and circulatory system of the head of a vertebrate animal of this very early period. The preservation of these soft parts was so perfect that they could be studied almost as well as if it were a fresh specimen. Owing to modern advances in petroleum refining and developments in the products obtained, the larger part of the collection in Hall 36° which illustrates pretoleum products and their uses has been reorganized. This reorganization involved not only withdrawing obsolete and sub- stituting it by modern material, but also making a new arrangement and classification. The new material, as well as glass containers and a large exhibition case, was presented by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). The new case is six feet square and eight feet high and is glazed on all sides. Its interior is fitted with glass shelves mounted upon glass pedestals. It has been placed in the center aisle in the east part of the hall. In it are shown lubricating oils and similar allied products of petroleum, the heavier and darker groups being placed in the lower part of the case and the lighter and lighter-colored groups above. This arrangement helps to bring out the full effect of the colors. From an adjoining case, part of the lubricating oils have been removed and a series of lubricating greases put in their place. Import- ant additions have also been made to the collection of petroleum jellies or vaselines. A collection, which had for many years been on exhibi- tion illustrating successive stages in the manufacture of finished oils according to the methods employed in utilizing Pennsylvania petroleums in 1892, has been completely discarded as obsolete and a new collection showing successive stages according to modern practice as employed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been substituted. On account of the widespread interest evinced at the present time in oil-shales, a collection of specimens of these from several sources was assembled and placed on exhibition in Hall 35. The collection occupies one half of a floor case. The nucleus of the collection is a series presented last year by exhibitors at the American Mining Congress and by the U. S. Bureau of Mines. With these, specimens presented by Mr. J. A. Ede and others, and-specimens formerly exhibited under other groupings have been incorporated. Exhibits illustrating the use of coal-tar pitch as a binder have been added to the coal by-products ~ Sr ge ee ee ne ~~ tbe >See) en ieee JAN., 1923. ANNUAL Report OF THE DIRECTOR. 123 collection, where they demonstrate a group of uses for this material not before shown. The peat collections have been enlarged by the addition of a series of the peats of Minnesota. A collection illustrating various products and uses of gypsum, pre- sented by the United States Gypsum Company, has been installed in a floor case and part of a wall case in Skiff Hall. Several specimens of crude gypsum, representing important sources of supply not hitherto shown, have been added to the exhibited series. In order to provide room for these combined exhibits, the floor cases containing asbestos, which had previously occupied two alcoves, were assembled in one, and the floor case containing gypsum placed in the empty alcove. A collection of gypsum products acquired earlier was also exchanged with one exhibiting lime in order to assemble the gypsum exhibits in one alcove. The model of the Natural Bridge of Virginia has been provided with models to scale of an automobile and eighteen human figures. With these figures present for comparison, the great size of the bridge becomes more apparent. Seven models of human figures, one and one-half inches high, have also been made and placed in the models of the iron-smelting furnaces. These figures, to insure durability, were made of metal. Some of them were cast in Babbitt metal, but those last made have been carved directly from lead, this having been found to give a quicker and easier means of obtaining the desired result. Some progress has been made in the construction of a model of a plant for the manufacture of Portland cement. It is proposed to exhibit this model in connection with the collection of these cements in Hall 36. This model is designed to illustrate all stages of the production of cement from the mining of the raw materials to the final finished product. After some investigation and inquiry, the plant of the Mar- quette Cement Company at Oglesby, Illinois, seemed to be the best adapted for the purpose, and, with the hearty consent and active co- operation of the officials of the company, the modelling of this plant was undertaken. The scale of the model now under construction 1s twelve and one-half feet to the inch. When completed it will be ten feet long and four feet wide. Details of mining the limestone and clay for the cement will be shown, the methods of transportation, and also the crushers, kilns and other machinery of the mills. Some of the larger elements of the machinery will be shown in section as well as entire, so that all stages of the process may be clearly portrayed. The model is being made in two sections, to be joined later. The first of these sections is now nearly completed. 124 Fretp Museum oF NaTurat History—Reports, Vou. VI. Two attractive and substantial map filing cases have been made from plans prepared in the Department, which ensure the preserva- tion of the maps and render them readily available for reference. The cases contain drawers of two sizes, one suitable for the topographic maps and atlases of the U. S. Geological Survey, and the others for larger maps. The cases contain 70 drawers. In them there have been carefully filed, grouped alphabetically by states and alphabetically under each state, 2,856 maps of the U. S. Geological Survey. The atlases of the same Survey, numbering 213, have also been placed in the drawers in numerical order, and 27 large miscellaneous maps have been given adequate space. Some additions have been made to the equipment of the chemical laboratory, which will considerably facilitate work there, though much needs yet to be provided. Two permanent laboratory desks with stone tops and piped for gas, water and air were constructed, as well as a portion of a hood. A similar desk and part of a hood have been pro- vided for the Curator’s laboratory. Some new apparatus, including a Parr calorimeter, with all accessories, Stokes still, drying oven of U. S. Bureau of Standards type, hand rock-crusher and bucking-board, has been obtained. During the year several calorimetric determinations of the heating value of the fuels used by the Museum have been made, as well as various analyses of substances used in the Museum or helong- ing to the collections. The patina of a number of Japanese sword guards belonging to the Japanese collection has been restored. To the equipment of the paleontological laboratory a drill-press and engine lathe, each with individual motors, have been added, and the forge was connected with a flue, making it available for operation. Use of this equipment made it possible to construct in the laboratory the steel framework on which the skeleton of the Mammoth was mounted, and to manufacture many tools and other articles needed for field- work. Text for two guide leaflets, one on the model of the Arizona gold mine and one on the models of the blast furnaces for the smelting of iron, were prepared by Associate Curator Nichols and published during the year. ZooLtocy. The exhibition work in the Department of Zoology con- sisted mainly of the reinstallation of some of the cases, the preparation of specimens for groups, and the mounting of those species needed to fill gaps in the serial exhibit. In Hall 22, four cases containing the higher Primates were re-installed. The paired specimens were removed from their unsightly bases, thoroughly cleaned ani otherwise improved. “ONIUND SO SSAOOUd NI WWINSLVW SHL 4O NOILYOd V NOILIGAdX3 WNVINS HSILIYS G13I4 AJINVLS AHL AG G3L03I7100 SNAWIOadS TVOINVLOS “AIXX 3LV1d ‘SLYOd3yY “AYOLSIH TVYNLYN JO WN3ASNW 7314 JAN., 1923. ANNUAL REpoRT OF THE DIRECTOR. 12 Leal Instead of installing each pair of animals on a separate base, they were placed on a new ground-work base that covered the entire bottom of the case. This change added much to the attractiveness of the exhibit of these interesting animals. For the contemplated group of American elk, the taxidermist modeled four animals and made plaster casts of them. ‘The serial exhibit, it was believed, could be made more interesting by showing a complete series of some of the well known North American mammals. For this reason work was started on two cases, the one to contain a specimen of each of the large American cats; the other to show the bears of North America. For the case of cats, a jaguar and a mountain lion were modeled and cast, and the work on one specimen for the bear case has been advanced to a similar degree. Eight cases of the fish exhibit have been greatly improved by re- painting the black screens with a light neutral tint, similar to that used on the screens in the bird cases. The specimens were rearranged and augmented, with the result that the exhibit has been made much more attractive. Since black labels are not very satisfactory on light back- grounds, as an experiment, one case has been installed with labels more in harmony with the color of the screen. The taxidermist assigned to the Division of Fishes completed the mounting of the thirty-five specimens, work on which was started last year. In addition, he has eighty or more specimens under way. These, on being completed, will . be installed when there are enough in hand to fill a screen. He has also prepared a series of specimens showing the different stages of the art of mounting fishes by his greatly improved method. The taxidermist engaged in reproducing reptiles and amphibians by means of his cel- luloid process has secured remarkable results, several of his most recent reproductions being wonderfully life-like. The species that he has now reproduced in celluloid include, among the amphibians, two green tree frogs, a pickerel frog, four leopard frogs showing variation of color pattern, one toad, a mud puppy, a hell-bender and two western newts. Among the reptiles are a six-lined lizard, a turtle and eight snakes, of which the most notable are a pilot snake and a fourteen foot anaconda. A case containing the two habitat groups of insects, that were mentioned in the report for last year, was completed and placed on exhibition at the beginning of the year. Considerable progress has been made in condensing the shell collection. By eliminating duplicates, four cases have been reinstalled with a representative series of families that formerly filled over eight cases. As a preliminary step toward forming the long delayed exhibit of 126 FirLtp Museum or Natura History—Reports, Vou. VI. butterflies, a series of North American species have been selected and many of them remounted and relabeled. Whenever an empty case becomes available by condensing the shell exhibit, it will be utilized for the exhibition of butterflies or other insects. During the latter part of the year, there was installed in Hall 19 a panel exhibit, showing the well known periodical or seventeen-year cicada in its various stages. This insect was exceedingly abundant in northern Illinois during the early part of the summer and will not appear again for another seventeen years. A Leaflet on the same insect has also been prepared, and only awaits the completion of the drawings for a plate before it is submitted for publication. For the rearrangement of the exhibits, the Curator formulated plans and made diagrams showing tentative provisions for the growth and development of each division. In collaboration with Mr. Boardman Conover, he prepared a paper entitled ‘““Game Birds from Northwestern Venezuela.”” This was issued by the Museum as Publication 210 of the Zoological Series. He also wrote a Leaflet on the “White-tailed Deer.” As chairman of the local committee of the American Ornithologists’ Union, which held its annual meeting in the Museum, he endeavored to make the meeting as successful as possible. During the absence in the field of the Assistant Curator of Birds, noteworthy progress in arranging the reference collection of birds and in labeling specimens was made. The Assistant in the Division of Birds prepared a Leaflet on the “Chicago Winter Birds.” On assuming his duties in the Museum, Dr. C. E. Hellmayr, the Associate Curator of Birds, examined the entire collection, rearranged many of the families, and in many ways rendered the specimens more accessible and hence more useful. Besides naming several lots sent for determination by other museums, he has identified over 1,200 bird skins. He has, likewise, given considerable attention to desiderata for the Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library. The reference collection of fishes was given some needed attention, but there still remain several large collections and some smaller groups that have not yet been dis- tributed. Specimens which could be so treated were placed on the shelves arranged in families and a finding list prepared for them. About one-third of the material so arranged has been relabeled and catalogued in an alphabetic index of genera and species. Shelf labels in large type, giving the name and number of the \family or families’ represented on each shelf, were printed and installed. The work of accessioning and cataloguing the specimens in the Division of Reptiles and Amphibians was given first consideration.

Besides cleaning skulls and skeletons of both mammals and fishes, the Assistant Curator of Osteology dismounted and placed in the reference collection a number of skeletons.

HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION OF FIELD MUSEOM OF NATURAL HISTORY At the end of the year 1922, this Department had 752 cases avail- able for distribution among the schools of Chicago. A scheme, by which three cases were loaned at regular intervals to each of 323 schools for a period of sixteen school-days, was systematically maintained during the year. The adoption of a new method, by which the delivery and collection of the cases are made at or near the principal's office, has greatly facilitated operations, which must be made during school hours in order that proper receipts may be obtained. In addition to sched- uled loans, many others were made at the requests of principals and teachers. As the demand was almost wholly for cases containing indus- trial and commercial exhibits, it was considered advisable to prepare a larger number than usual of cases of this character. This has been made possible by the temporary employment of a former preparator of this department. The subject of one of the cases is “Useful things ob- tained from Coal,’ and sixteen of the best known were selected from among its numerous products. In addition to the usual general and specimen labels, the case is provided with an attractive and unique diagram illustrating the products. Permission was obtained, in response to applications, to loan cases to schools other than public schools. These were the Francis W. Parker and the North Central High Schools, the latter being in charge of the Sisters of Charity. A similar request from the Concordia Evangelical Lutheran School was received too late for inclusion in the schedule of deliveries. A special loan of several cases was made to the main Chicago Public Library, and subsequently a request was made and granted, that the Library be placed on the schedule with the schools. At the annual convention of the National Education Associa- tion held in Chicago, February 27th to March 4th, several cases were, 128 FireLp Museum oF NATURAL History—Reports, Vou. VI. by request, placed on exhibition to illustrate the aspect of visual in- struction as presented by the Harris Extension, and lantern slides. of other cases of the Extension were used in lectures. The Mid-winter Institute for Teachers of MacLean County, Illinois, through Professor -F. Dean McClusky, Instructor of Education at the University of Illi- nois, requested the loan of a number of cases for exhibition and dis- cussion during the three days’ meeting of the Institute at Bloomington, the eight cases sent being much appreciated. At the request of the Administrative Secretary of the U. S. National Museum at Washington, D. C., a case was sent there for use in a lecture given by Dr. Paul Bartsch, Curator, Division of Marine Inver- tebrates, of that Institution. In a letter Dr. Bartsch said: “Your loan groups are windows, a view through which should create the desire to pass through the door into the larger field.’ Ten cases were placed on exhibition at the south end of George M. Pullman Hall during the annual meeting of the American Ornithologists’ Union. Cases were loaned to the Zoological Museum of the University of Minnesota and the Public Museum of Milwaukee as samples in making cases for a similar purpose. GuipE-LEecTurER. A Guide-Lecturer was appointed on February the 15th for the purpose of conducting school children, clubs, societies and other visitors through the Museum Halls, and giving information and lectures on the various exhibits. The scheme proved successful and it was decided to develop especially the elementary educational section. After consultation with Mr. Peter A. Mortensen, Superinten- dent of Chicago Public Schools, and Mr. Dudley Grant Hayes, Director of Visual Education, a programme was arranged by which lectures at the Museum were made to correlate with class-room work in all the grades. During the six months in which the schools were in session, lectures were given to 139 classes attended by a total of 4,927 children. The number of clubs and conventions that visited the Museum during the year was not large, but is increasing as wider publicity is given to the lectures. In all, 43 clubs and conventions, numbering 1,682 per- sons, availed themselves of the service. To meet the requirements of casual visitors, a programme of eight weekly tours was announced late in July, which were well attended during the tourist season. The number of tours conducted was 67, representing an attendance of 527. Members of the scientific staff cooperated actively to make this section a success. The total number of lectures given during the year was 249, and the attendance amounted to approximately 10,000. JAN., 1923. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 129 GENERAL PRINTING.
