CorninG ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 1924 To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History. I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum for the year ending December 31, 1924. A marked increase of interest in the activities of the Institution is distinctly the outstanding feature of the year under review. The innu- merable advantages offered to the public by the Museum are being daily more appreciated. The tremendous impetus and inspiration which this appreciation gives to the scientific and maintenance forces of the Mu- seum augurs well for its future and signifies gratifying approval of its methods of disseminating knowledge and entertainment. Details which are given in the report indicate that the affairs of the Museum are in a healthy condition and give evidence of its wide influ- ence and extensive investigations in many fields. While the year has been a busy one and the results satisfactory, yet considering the increas- ing requirements and the constantly growing importance of the Museum, the fifth year of occupancy of the new building seems to demonstrate, as have each of the four previous years, the necessity for still greater effort. The expenses of the Museum under the head of maintenance have been in excess of the budget this year. However, the large amount that was expended for fittings for the work rooms, storage areas and the laboratories, and the refinishing of all exhibition cases in the Depart- ment of Botany, are not in a sense a proper charge against maintenance. If this is taken into consideration, the expenditures have been below the budget allowance. It may seem from the evidence of this work that the building is being refurnished. This, as a matter of fact, is true in so far as the working areas on the third floor are concerned. These growing needs of the Museum and the extensive improvements and additions necessary to maintain the increasing demands of its departments, are an indication of the development of the entire Institution. More and more each year the Museum is becoming better equipped to perform all of its necessary labor, not only for technical and scientific purposes, but 274. Fretp Museum oF Natura History—ReEports, Vot. VI. for the ordinary maintenance work as well. It is now only under un- usual circumstances that outside agencies need to be engaged. The excess of expenditures over the revenue shows a deficit of $33,000.00 for the year, which amount was voluntarily assumed by President Field. In addition to this Mr. Field has contributed during the year the sum of $78,576.00. A part of this was directed towards the deficit existing in the Building Fund and the remainder was the stated annuity provided for the work in the Plant Reproduction laboratory. Captain Marshall Field has increased his annuity to $100,000.00 which enables the Museum to extend its expeditionary program and to increase the issue and enlarge the scope of its scientific publications. Of especial interest was the inauguration of two new series of publications, the first being the “‘Design’’ Series, of which two numbers were issued, and the other a publication designated as the ‘‘Memoirs” Series. The first number of the latter series was in press shortly before the end of the year. The benefactions of Mr. Edward E. Ayer to the library which has been named in his honor, have continued, reference to which is made elsewhere. Mr. Ayer has also made notable additions to the pewter col- lection which also bears his name, several very important examples of this alloy having been added to the original collection. A commodious room on the second floor has been alloted to this splendid exhibit. Mr. Arthur B. Jones has provided the funds for the purchase of an important Maori collection, which came from Captain T. E. Donne, a well-known citizen of New Zealand. An invitation to codperate with the American Museum of Natural History in its important survey in Mongolia has been heartily welcomed. Under the arrangements already perfected, the Museum is to share in the results of the expedition. It is earnestly hoped that this undertaking marks a beginning of a consolidation of the interests of American museums, and that it will result not only in valuable codperation, but in the elimination of wasteful duplication of efforts. An additional contribution of $100,000.00 to the Harris Extension Fund, made by the family of the late Norman W. Harris, was one of the most important gifts of the year, enabling this department to in- crease the distribution of exhibition cases to the public schools and to provide a new distributing car. This car was placed in operation at the beginning of the fall school term. This benefaction adds to the income of the Harris Extension Fund a sum slightly over $6,000.00 per annum. Mr. Charles R. Crane has continued his contributions towards the publication of the work on the “Birds of the Americas.’’ The third part of this series was issued during the year. ‘aZIS [eN}JOe YJIIWUIM-ou0 Jnoqy 'G TNVH ‘SWHO4 NO NOILVIIVLSNI 4O GOHLSW MAN SNIMOHS ‘FANMVd SHL SO SAWNLSOOD IVINOWS8390 1 es 7 F E ] i *XITX ALW1d ‘SLYOdauY *“AYOLSIH IWHNLYN JO WNASNW Q13l4 waa JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 275 The family of the late Mr. George Manierre presented to the Mu- seum a collection of specimens from North America, Mexico, Panama, Australia, Japan, Egypt, and Russia, consisting of prehistoric pottery, tobacco pipes, stone implements, baskets, etc., which is a most acceptable addition to the collections in the Department of Anthropology. In appreciation of Mr. Edward E. Ayer’s life-long devotion to the work of the Museum and his great liberality in adding to its collections, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Rosenwald contributed to the Museum the sum of $25,000.00. The income from this contribution is to be used for the next ten years in filling gaps in the North American Indian collections in the Museum. ' At the end of this term, the income is to be devoted to the purchase of scientific books for the departmental libraries. The progress of the Museum is further encouraged by the support received from the tax levied by the South Park Commissioners. This income is used solely for maintenance, but is not sufficient by any means to meet the present and increasing needs of the Institution. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the courtesies extended by the Chicago Rapid Transit Company, the Illinois Central Railroad Com- pany, the Chicago Surface Lines, the Rock Island Railroad Company, the Aurora and Elgin Electric Lines, and the department stores of Chi- cago, in exhibiting posters and placards directing the attention of the public to the Museum and its work. The membership campaign inaugurated during the previous year has been highly successful. The activities in this direction have re- sulted in the following additions to the different classes of memberships: Mateo erm berStee icy tran aie eaikaie av ereh cues ci atey 2) wien micireeater oc) scsualia dese owes staid 28 PNSSOCLAGEMVECITIIDEDSs crea erehe Ther secs Ghar or caer el niet a ealiee eel eens tela elianeatalet ey hehe 472 UStaminon Mem DELS ay Hi/at Unsyvereyattteds set sna cme teeieehe fare honteereyane iaieneder 283 PANIIT MeN ETAMIN CESS: aie Naa ile ie oc eteitau by etiateneh hcg sitth stetap aus \ayel Sts allan fe fe eA’ 557 The By-Laws have been amended for the purpose of adding three new classes of members, viz: Benefactors, Fellows, and Non-Resident Life. Reference to the memberships newly created will be found in the amended By-Laws included in this report. The gratifying increase in the attendance of visitors to the Museum may be accounted for in part by the canvass for memberships, but doubtless in greater measure by the publicity given to the Institution and its activities by the press and the transportation companies. The organization of a Live Wild Flower exhibit during the summer and autumn months attracted many people to the Museum and may be spoken of as successful beyond expectation. This exhibit was suggested by the Department of Botany and has been promoted under its direction. 6 FieLtp Museum oF NATURAL HISTORY—REPoRTsS, VOL. VI. “I During the year the vacancies existing in the membership of the Board of Trustees were filled by the election of Mr. Charles H. Mark- ham and Mr. Silas H. Strawn. The Trustees have named the hall in which the ichthyological collections are exhibited the Albert W. Harris Hall, in honor of Mr. Albert W. Harris. The additions to the staff during the year were as follows; H. F. Ditzel, Registrar, R. H. Thompson, Recorder, and H. Boardman Conover, Associate in Ornithology. E. S. Abbey was appointed Sergeant of the Guard to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Sergeant Brophy, who had been in the employ of the Museum since its inception, and who left behind him an unimpeachable record for faithfulness and devotion to duty. Other activities initiated during the year were the inauguration of a series of summer classes for the children of members; the introduction of a series of Fellowships for research work; and the installation of a new system of lighting for habitat groups. The trouble and annoyance experienced by the constant leaking of the sky-lighted halls demanded prompt treatment, and made necessary the decision to roof over these areas. These skylights, covering an area of 38,500 square feet, have been insulated with a double thickness of Celotex overlaid with Ruberoid roofing. This work was begun August 17, 1924 and was finished November 22nd, at a cost of $20,250.00. This expenditure was charged to the Building Fund and necessarily increased the deficit of that account, but this, as previously reported, was assumed by President Field. The roofing over of the skylights changed the method of lighting the halls from that of daylight to artificial lighting, but there is every indication that the artificial lighting is more suitable than daylight for the material exhibited in these areas. Not only is the illumination more uniform, but the fading effects of sunlight are avoided. All the windows in the exhibition areas have been curtained, and this has not only improved the interior appearance of the openings, but has added to their attractiveness from the outside. A surface drainage system has been laid in the terrace around the Museum building, and furnished with catch basins along the edge of the grass plot. The entire sidewalk surrounding the Museum has been overlaid with a top dressing of crushed limestone. The outside steps and the flag pole steps at the north entrance have been caulked with oakum and lead wool. The outside walls of the northeast central pavilion have been caulked with elastic cement, and JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 277 the terrace balustrade and outside window sills have been repointed with Portland cement. The death of Mr. George Manierre, a member of the Board of Trus- tees for thirty years, closed a career of activity and usefulness in which the Museum very largely shared His loss is mourned by his fellow- trustees and is sorely felt by the members of the administrative and scientific staff of the Museum. As Chairman of the Auditing Committee for several years, Mr. Manierre made frequent visits to the Museum, and always manifested the greatest interest in the work of its departments. Through his frequent and intimate contact with the staff, its members learned to understand and appreciate him highly. GENERAL LECTURES.—Two courses of lectures and three special lectures were given in the James Simpson Theatre during the year, bringing the total number of courses presented by the Museum to forty- two. The interest of the public was fully manifested by large and attentive audiences. The ready codperation of well-known scientific men and lecturers in this work is gratifying, and occasion is here taken to thank them for their participation in these courses.

ENTERTAINMENTS FOR CHILDREN.—Moving picture entertainments for children were given in the James Simpson Theatre on Saturday morn- ings during the Spring and Autumn months. The interest manifested in these pictures is indicated by the total attendance of 34,327 children. Beginning at 9:30 o’clock in the morning, the pictures were shown con- tinuously until 12:30 P.M. In connection with the Autumn course, twelve ‘‘Museum Stories for Children’’ were prepared and issued by the Museum. These stories were distributed to the children, one at each entertainment. Their three-fold purpose was, to supplement the films in the matter of information, to direct the children to Museum exhibits related to the subject of the films, and to provide the children with a souvenir of their visit to the Institution. The programs for the courses, including one special lecture, were as follows: March 1—‘‘Hunting Big Game in Africa.” First five reels. March 8—‘‘Hunting Big Game in Africa.’”’ Last four reels. “Time—What It Really Is.” March 15— ‘The Ant.” “Birds of Prey.” “Animal Camouflage.”’ “Wild Animals and Their Young.” “Earth and Moon.” Part I.

PUBLICATIONS A new series of publications was inaugurated during the year, which is designated as the Design Series. It is intended to render accessible in convenient form the artistic designs of primitive and oriental peoples from the rich stores in the Museum collections. The series is especially planned for the needs of teachers and pupils of public, high, technical and art schools, but should also appeal to professional designers, crafts- men, manufacturers, and students of art. The series demonstrates also that the Museum is able to render service to the industrial arts. In the regular publication series eight numbers were issued, most of the num- bers being of the Zoological Series. In the new Design Series two num- bers were issued and seventeen numbers were added to the general leaflet series.

LIBRARY There have been accessioned during the year 2,852 books and pam- phlets. The aggregate number at the close of the year was 84,555. Many valuable and important books have been added to the Library by gift, purchase and exchange. Especially noteworthy has been the acquisition of various sets, for a long time among the desiderata of the Library, as follows: Report of H. M. S. Challenger Voyage 50 volumes; Transac- tions of the Zoological Society of London, 20 volumes; Der Naturforscher, 10 volumes, 1774-1804; Dansk Ornithologisk Tidsskrift, 17 volumes; 284 FieLD Museum or NaturAL History—Reports, Vo. VI. Mitteilungen des Ornithologischen Vereins in Wien, 20 volumes, 1877- 1901; Larousse, Grand dictionnaire universelle, 20 volumes; and Encyclo- paedia Americana, 30 volumes. The number of books purchased has exceeded that of recent years, and these very essential aids in their work have been greatly appreciated by the members of the staff. Among the important books purchased are the following: Hamilton, Maori Art. Céramique Ancienne du Pérou. Hobson, Art of the Chinese Potter. Binyon-Sexton, Japanese Color Prints. Durante, Herbario Nuovo, Rome, 1585. Knuth, Handbook of Plant Pollination. Gloger, Végel Europas, 1834. Temminck, Histoire Naturelle des Pigeons, 1813-15. Briinnich, Ornithologica Borealis, 1764. Through the continued generosity and interest of Mr. Edward E. Ayer, a number of rare and classic books in ornithology have been secured. A total of 473 volumes were added to the Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library. Among those received are finely illustrated copies of the following: Mme. Knip, Les Pigeons, 2 volumes, 1838, 1843. Bonaparte, Iconographie des Pigeons, 1857.

These accumulating gifts, especially of the out of print works, are most useful to the present day scientist and they will undoubtedly prove of great value to the student and scholar in the years to come. In addi- tion to these important gifts, other valuable contributions have been received that, aside from their intrinsic value, are especially appreciated because of the interest thus evidenced in the welfare of the Museum Library. Exchange relations have been reéstablished with practically all of the institutions on the publication mailing list, and publications have been received during the year from seven hundred and twenty-three governments, societies and individuals. There were written and inserted in the different catalogues 11,710 cards. The growth of the departmental libraries necessitates the writing in duplicate of author cards for all the books sent to these libraries. Monthly installments of from four to six hundred cards have been re- ceived and filed from the John Crerar Library. Early in the year all of the books in the General Library were removed from the shelves and thoroughly cleaned. A general rearrangement of the books was necessary in order to accommodate current accessions. To further insure the preservation of the books in leather bindings ap- proximately fourteen thousand volumes were furbished and oiled. This work was done by expert bookbinders from the Monastery Bindery. There were sent to and returned from the bindery during the year 924 volumes. / 286 FreLp Museum or NatTuRAL History—Reports, VOL. VI. The departmental libraries now present an appearance of order and system that, because of the exigencies of moving, has taken some time to attain. These libraries have been more conveniently located by moving them into rooms adjoining the offices of the Curators of the various departments. These rooms have all been freshly decorated and furnished with new stacks and cases which greatly add to their usefulness and appearance. DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING AND LABELING ANTHROPOLOGY.—In the Department of Anthropology the work of cataloguing has been continued as usual, the number of catalogue cards prepared during the year totaling 4,306. These cards are distributed geographically as follows: North American ethnology 65; South American archaeology and ethnology 1,455; Polynesian ethnology 1,282; Tasmania and Africa 10; Federated Malay States 408; Ancient Egypt 17; Greece and Miletos, Asia Minor 19; Kish, Mesopotamia 120; China, Japan, and Korea 747; Burma 1; and Edward E. Ayer pewter collection 181. Of these cards 3,898 have been entered in the inventory books of the Department, which number 42. The 2,053 catalogue cards for ac- cessions received in 1923 were also entered, bringing the total of cat- alogue cards entered to 5,951. The number of accessions received during the year amounts to 60, of which 30 have been entered. There were also 20 accessions from previous years tabulated. The total number of catalogue cards entered from the opening of the first volume is 163,889. Several thousand labels for exhibition material were prepared and in- stalled in the cases, the number of labels supplied by the printer totaling 3,226. These labels are distributed as follows: China 1,123; Edward E. Ayer pewter collection 739; American Indians 679; Kish, Mesopotamia 307; Classical archaeology 218; Egypt 109; Malaysia 36; Japan 9 and miscellaneous 6. The printer supplied the department with 7,000 cat- alogue cards, 300 accession envelopes, 423 case numbers, and 526 cards for the study collections. There were prepared 450 label cards, which were added to the label-file. To the Departmental albums 182 photo- graphs were added and three new albums started; one for photographs from the Federated Malay States; one for postal cards, and one for the prints of lantern-slides. Botany.—In the Department of Botany catalogue, 16,761 entries were made during the year, and 4,067 carried over from the previous year, bringing the total number of catalogued specimens in the depart- . | ; { ; ; JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 287 ment to 550,076. The entries added to the department index to col- lectors number 217, and to the index of geographic localities 53. Many labels were prepared during the year and placed in the exhi- bition halls. In the herbarium thousands of labels and genus covers were provided, particularly for algae, lichens and fungi, in con- nection with the Cryptogamic Herbarium, and likewise for economic specimens. Of printed labels, 1,608 were received from the Section of Printing. GroLtocy.—The catalogue entries in the Department of Geology during the year number 9,668. The majority of these were of inverte- brate fossils of the Borden collection, the cataloguing of this collection having been continued. Other series catalogued were a part of the specimens collected by the Curator in Brazil and all current accessions. Some previously unrecorded specimens found in revising the study col- lection were also entered. A total number of 649 labels were written, 27 of these being descriptive. The descriptive labels related to exhibited minerals, phases of physical geology, fossils and some other newly placed exhibits, the smaller labels were for minerals, fossils, ores, etc. Sixty labels were provided for the maps and atlases filed in cases. Typewritten labels numbering several thousand were also prepared and placed with the corresponding specimens in the study collection. To the Department photograph albums 364 prints were added, making a total of 4,416. The additions were chiefly of photographs made by the Curator in Brazil. ZooLocy.—Considerable progress has been made during the year by the Department of Zoology in the cataloguing of specimens. The total number of regular entries made were 3,782 distributed as follows: Mam- mals, 1479; Birds, 154; Reptiles and Amphibians, 1,141; Fishes, 994; Insects, 14. In addition to these entries in the serial catalogues, there were made 2,390 entries in the index catalogue of reptiles and amphibians which is now complete for all the identified frogs, salamanders, turtles, crocodiles and lizards. A large number of cards were also written for the index catalogue of mammals, the number of entries in the different catalogues for the year thus reaching a total well over six thousand. Labeling specimens was to a large extent coincident with cataloguing and nearly all specimens recorded were also labeled, as well as many others, especially in the divisions of mammals and of reptiles. Besides the skins of mammals labeled, all cleaned skulls were carefully numbered and labeled. Photographs and lantern slides to the number of 675 were labeled and filed in the Department. 288 Fietp Museum or NaturaL History—ReEports, Vou. VI.

The most im- portant collection coming from an expedition represents the first results of the Field Museum-Oxford University Joint Expedition engaged in the excavation of Kish, Mesopotamia. The material received this year il- lustrates very vividly the life and earliest culture of the ancient Sumer- ians who preceded the Semites in the Euphrates Valley. It is particularly rich in pottery vessels, consisting of 82 complete jars and 166 sherds with stamped and incised designs, which promise to be of great significance for the study of primitive decorative art. Flint and other stone imple- ments, a stone door-post, a stone mortar with pestle, numerous copper tools, weapons, and dishes, bone and iron implements, a silver cup, silver bracelets and bosses worn as jewelry, 27 cylinder seals with en- graved designs, 14 necklaces of lapis lazuli, rock-crystal, agate and carnelian beads, 40 clay figures representing mythological subjects and animals, four large stamped bricks, and nine tablets and cones covered with cuneiform inscriptions are other prominent features of the collec- tion. One of the stamped bricks comes down from the twenty-first century B.c. and contains an inscription of Samsu-iluna, “‘king of Babylon and Kish, king of the four regions,”’ who records his restoration of the stage-tower of Kish for the god Jlbaba and the goddess Ishtar. Reproductions of a stylus for writing, said to be the only writing instru- ment ever discovered in Babylonia, and of a pictographic stone tablet, both believed to date ca. 4,600 B.c., were sent by Prof. S. Langdon of Oxford. The total number of specimens received to date from this expedition amounts to 634. The last installment of the collections made in Colombia by former Assistant Curator Mason, under the auspices of JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 289 Captain Marshall Field, and accessioned last year was received in March in 32 cases. The material includes a great number of large pottery vases and stone implements. A stone axe, a slate celt, and a projectile point coming from Chile were received from the Captain Marshall Field Zoological Expedition to Chile and Argentina. A human skull and five flint implements associated with it were found in the Territory of Santa Cruz, Argentina, by the Captain Marshall Field Palaeontological Ex- pedition to Argentina. A very important acquisition of the year is represented by the well- known New Zealand collection of Captain T. E. Donne, presented by Mr. Arthur B. Jones. It includes prominent examples of Maori feather and flax robes, wood carvings, ornaments and weapons, and an unusually complete series of stone implements. Many of the objects are of types no longer obtainable in New Zealand. The collection is especially rich in jade, there being no less than 563 ornaments and implements of this stone. These include practically all the known forms of Maori jade work, together with unfinished artifacts and the tools used in their manufac- ture. This accession, together with the collections formerly acquired by the Museum, places the institution in the foremost rank as to Maori collections in the United States. A large Maori adze of unusually fine green jade was purchased from Mrs. J. F. Hoffman. A carved gable ornament from a Maori house was received through exchange with Mr. W. C. Chandler. It is a rare old piece carved with stone tools. A fine old Hawaiian food bowl is the gift of Mrs. E. D. Hulbert. It is of the type used for eating poi, a gruel made from pounded taro. It was highly valued by its native owners, and has been skillfully repaired in several places with wooden patches, inset and polished down smoothly in the interior and exterior. Mr. Edward E. Ayer continued his efforts to make his collection of pewter as representative as possible, with the result that 115 objects were added to his already substantial gift of 324 specimens of pewters during the preceding year. These 115 objects were received in sixteen separate lots, covering a period from January 18th to December roth. This indication of Mr. Ayer’s unremitting enthusiasm in assembling such numerous and excellent examples from many parts of the world is gratefully acknowledged. England and Germany are represented with 42 Specimens in these new accessions, China with 66, Japan with 7. To these a pitcher from Strasbourg, Alsace, was added by Mrs. Edward E. Ayer. From an archaeological viewpoint the most interesting acquisition is a Chinese pewter tablet of rectangular shape found in a grave of Ho nan Province and covered with a lengthy inscription in incised char- 290 FIELD Museum or NatTuraL History—ReEports, Vo. VI. acters, which yields the date a.p. 85 in the Han dynasty. An analysis made by Mr. H. W. Nichols reveals the fact that the alloy is composed of tin 19.2 per cent, lead 78.5 per cent, and zinc 1.5 per cent, and thus represents a real pewter. It was heretofore not known that pewter was manufactured in China at so early a date. This tablet may therefore claim the honor of being the oldest pewter object extant. The inscrip- tion engraved in the surface represents a deed or grant of land for the burial-place of the Governor of Tung-ktin, a great scholar, who was highly esteemed by his contemporaries and who died in a.p. 84. The new acquisitions comprise fine tea-caddies made by Yazaemon of Kyoto in the eighteenth century and a number of Chinese boxes, trays, and jars inlaid with designs, scenes, and figures in brass. These are all of a high degree of workmanship and of great artistic merit, and date in the Ming period (fifteenth and sixteenth centuries). The Edward E. Ayer collec- tion of Pewter has now grown to such proportions, that the development of Chinese pewter productions through five centuries can be clearly traced and studied to great advantage. A very interesting collection of Chinese gourds, pottery vessels and accessories for keeping singing and fighting insects was received from Mr. Robert E. Stevenson of Peking, China. Through an arrangement made by Mr. Edward E. Ayer, who acquired the collection of Chinese pewter made by the Blackstone Expedition in 1910 for his pewter room, this new accession has been credited to the Blackstone Collections. A similar collection, relating to insects, was obtained by the Curator in China in 1923; it is now appropriately supplemented by this new acquisi- © tion, which includes many ancient pieces of the eighteenth century and many carved gourds with elaborate covers of ivory and jade, all coming from the possession of old families. These two lots combined present a perfectly unique collection, such as does not exist elsewhere. They 1l- lustrate the sentimental qualities of the Chinese, their fondness of the insect musicians with studied methods of rearing and keeping them, and their keen interest in this harmless sport. A cricket-fight, especially one in which renowned champions take part, arouses great excitement and wagering, and stirs up as strong emotions among Chinese as a prize-fight in America. Mr. Stevenson presented to the Museum an ivory insect- cage, a gourd with ivory cover, an ivory box, and a glazed jar. A large embroidered cover of white silk made at Canton, China, in the beginning of the nineteenth century, was presented by Mrs. Fred- erick F. Bullen of Chicago. The embroidery, of white silk also, presents an elaborate composition of floral, animal, and bird designs, lions playing ball, kiosks, pavilions, and pagodas. A miscellaneous collection of small Es ee JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 291 objects presented by Mrs. L. M. Kneeland, Chicago, includes two in- teresting Chinese fans of carved and painted ivory brought to this country by a sea-captain in 1800. A fine old brass image of a standing Buddha in the attitude of preaching, from Mandalay, Burma, is the gift of Mr. F. A. Hardy of Evanston, Illinois. It is a solid cast and a statue of unusually good quality. A notable addition was made to the Frank W. Gunsaulus Hall by Mrs. Koshichi Tsukamoto of this city, who presented the Institution with two completely dressed figures of Japanese women. They were made at Kyoto, Japan, under the direction of Mr. N. Sudzuka, whose conception of the figures is that of two unmarried sisters; society girls, dressed for the occasion of a garden-party or ready to accompany friends on an outing. The figures are skillfully carved from the wood of the kiri tree (Paulownia imperialis), and the faces show the aristocratic type of the best Japanese society. The color of the complexion is well reproduced by many coatings with gofun, a preparation of chalk mixed with pow- dered sea-shells, which yields a fine lustre effect. This is a laborious process that requires over a half year’s time. The silk material for the dresses, of first quality, was especially woven for the occasion. The elder sister is clad with an outer garment of Kinsha-crepe decorated with colored designs partially woven in and partially embroidered. The designs represent a garden with pine and maples in an aristocratic residence, as it was popular a century ago in the Tokugawa period. The sash, the most prominent feature in a Japanese dress, is made of brocade decorated with designs of a white phoenix, chrysanthemums, and fan. The younger sister wears a dress of green Kinsha-crepe adorned with printed designs of cherry and wistaria, which were popular in the Fujiwara period. She carries a parasol of silk gauze painted with floral designs, while the elder sister is equipped with a fan and a crepe bag in lavender color. Miss Adele Barrett of Chicago presented a valuable Japanese suit of armor, which is by far the best example of this class now in the Museum collections. It evidently belonged to a high officer of the Samurai class. The suit is made of separate laminz of lacquered leather laced in green and red braid, and tied in place at the back and shoulders by heavy cords of red silk. Breastplate, helmet, and shoulder-pieces are decorated with painted leather and ornaments of silver and copper gilt. The front of the helmet is surmounted by the full figure of a falcon carved from silver. The sleeves are of chain-mail, and are provided with gauntlets of solid iron pieces fastened together by hinges of butterfly form. The face is covered by a mask of iron with a removable nose-piece. A signaling fan, 292 Fietp Museum or Naturat History—ReEports, Vot. VI. a sword, and a spear complete the outfit. The left tace is inscribed with a date (‘‘sixth year of the period Shohei’’) corresponding to our year yea bin a A valuable collection of twenty-two old Japanese tobacco-pipes was presented by Mr. Homer E. Sargent of Pasadena. As the Museum had no pipes from Japan, this collection is especially appreciated. The pipes are of bamboo, brass, iron inlaid in silver and gold, and enamel; they are of excellent workmanship and exhibit a great variety of forms and de- signs. Mr. Sargent likewise presented a moose shoulder-blade used for the moose-call, a bow with seven arrows, and a pair of snow-shoes from the Yukon Territory, Canada. A collection of eighty very interesting small ivory carvings made by the Eskimo of Labrador, Canada, was purchased by the Museum. Mrs. Joseph Adams presented several valuable miscellaneous objects consisting of a Navaho saddle blanket and silver necklace, a pair of silver ear-rings and a silver fillet of a Negro woman from Barbados, Trinidad, and baskets from China, Samoa, the Sudan, Chile, and Northwest Coast. A red obsidian spear-head from the Yurok tribe of Humboldt County, presented by Mr. Chauncey Keep, is a welcome addition to the obsidian blades contributed last year by Mr. Chauncey Keep and Mr. Watson F. Blair jointly, and illustrated in the Annual Report for the year 1923. Mr. L. Winternitz presented a garment of the Seminole Indians of Florida and four dolls showing the modes of dressing of the same tribe. A small American Indian collection was obtained through exchange with Mr. M. C. Chandler. It includes Iroquois garments and implements of types not previously represented in the Museum, and a number of objects from the Fox of Iowa. There are some fine examples of old bead and ribbon work, woven bags, and a feather necklace worn only by famous warriors. The complete paraphernalia of a Tlingit shaman, consisting of a bear-skin cloak, rattles, head-dresses, necklaces, and charms, was received through exchange with Lieutenant G. T. Emmons. The Museum has few ceremonial objects from this tribe, and the sha- man’s outfit forms an important addition. A large Chilkat blanket, in perfect condition and differing in design from those in the possession _ of the Museum, was presented by Mrs. James W. Scott. A Comanche woman’s costume of white-beaded buckskin was secured through exchange with A. Skinner. It is a novel type hitherto unrepresented in the collections. *JOO} TI ase jo YysuoT “Y3assaidda sniine Ad AWYSOIXVL “SIVAWYW SO LISIHXS OILVWALSAS YO4 G3STIVLSNI “SLVO NVOIYSWVY HLYON "IT 3LW1d 'SLYOd3ayY *AYOLSIH IWHALYN JO WNASNW 734 JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 293 Botany.—The largest accessions in the Department of Botany dur- ing the year were the Zenker, Kamerun, collection by purchase from Museum d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, containing, approximately, 5,000 specimens, and a collection of 4,000 Philippine plants from A.

This part of the hall will also contain a number of cases picturing the life and culture of the Maori of New Zealand. The southeastern quarter of the hall will be devoted to other parts of Polynesia and to Fiji. The northeastern quarter is to contain ex- hibits from the various Micronesian groups and from certain small islands on the eastern edge of Melanesia which are essentially Micro- nesian in culture. Two cases were installed by Assistant Curator Lewis, and have been added to Joseph N. Field Hall: one illustrates the ethnology of the Admiralty Islands, the other shows clothing and ornaments from Huon Gulf, New Guinea. A series of colored photographs made and loaned by Mr. L. Win- ternitz was temporarily exhibited this summer until August 8. They illustrated scenery, plant-life, and types of the Seminole Indians of Florida. A poisoning and storage room for the preservation of perishable material was constructed of compressed steel at the south end of the fourth floor, and in its essential features was completed toward the end of 1923. In the beginning of 1924 it was equipped with storage bins, cedar wood being the only lumber employed. The distribution of the five rooms from east to west is as follows: Room 1 serves for the laying-out and cleaning of specimens. Room 2 contains fabrics. costumes, and other perishable material from India, Tibet, China, and Korea. Room 3 is set aside for material from California, South- west, Mexico, and South America. Room 4 shelters material from the Plains Indians and Northwest Coast, and Room 5 collections from the South Sea Islands. Formaldehyde candles have been used for pur- poses of poisoning with good success, and the entire arrangement and equipment of the poisoning room may be characterized as eminently satisfactory. It insures with absolute safety the permanent preser- vation of destructible material. Storage racks were constructed during the year for Rooms 28, 30, 34, and 36 on the third floor. The distribution of study collections is now as follows: Room 28 serves for the accommodation of material suitable for exchange, so that those interested in examining what the department has to offer in the line of duplicate specimens may have ready access to them. Polynesian and Micronesian collections not required for exhibition are stored in Room 30, which also contains overflow material from Africa and Australia. Room 31 harbors col- lections from India. In Rooms 33 and 34 are stored collections from | 310 Fretp Museum or Natura History—Reports, Vou. VI. the Northwest Coast. The Philippine collections in Room 36 were entirely rearranged by Assistant Curator Linton. Material from Sumatra, Borneo and Java formerly in Room 34 was transferred to Room 36, where now all Malayan collections are grouped together. Rooms 65 and 66 contain collections from China, Tibet, and Korea. All this material is properly grouped and classified, and is arranged in such a way that it can easily be located and taken out upon demand. A large room on the ground floor has been assigned to the department for storage purposes. It will ultimately absorb all American archaeologi- cal material, as far as not required for exhibition. In view of the fact that a hall of North American archaeology is planned on the ground floor, it is thought that in this manner the entire archaeological collec- tions of this continent will be kept conveniently together. A special label-card has been devised for the identification of study and storage collections. Each card indicates country, stock and tribe with a brief enumeration of the material in question, the room where it is located with the number of rack or shelf being given in the upper left corner. The size and form of the catalogue-cards (about 3x6 inches) has been chosen for these labels, and several copies of each card are printed. One is attached to the shelf in the storage-rooms, the others are kept on file in the Curator’s office, and when completed will serve as an index and finding list of the study-collections. This card-index will be arranged in triple form, according to localities, tribes, and material, and will be of assistance in locating any collection on which a demand may be made for study. The work performed on the storage of collections made heavy demands on the time of the staff and the preparators, as numerous exhibition-cases in which they were piled up heretofore had to be opened and emptied, and all material cleaned, sorted, and identified. The storage of Northwest Coast and American archaeological collections was begun, but not completed. In the Modeling Section the large house and two coconut palms for the model of the New Guinea village were completed. Ten casts of faces and as many pairs of hands were taken by the modeler from Chinese students, modeled and colored for the costumed actors’ figures from Peking, and now on exhibition in Hall I. The presence of a Sioux Indian in the city afforded an opportunity of having casts taken of his face and hands. There were 174 specimens repaired. Ma- terial in fifty exhibition-cases was poisoned during the year. Twenty papier-maché forms for the exhibition of costumes were made and 12,528 numbers were marked on specimens. JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 315 Botany.—In the Department of Botany all of the exhibition cases were refinished during the year in a dark walnut color, greatly improv- ing the appearance of the halls. New installations and reinstallations were confined to the Hall of Plant Life, where the backgrounds are being changed as fast as possible from black to a light color. Rein- stallations are being made by the removal from this hall of a large part of the strictly economic material to provide space for the reproductions of plants and other exhibits of more distinctly botanical significance. Many additions were made to the latter exhibits during the year. Of native plants there were added reproductions of Blue Phlox, Trilltum and the Shooting Star. For the remainder, the various new exhibits grew mostly out of the collections of the Stanley Field Guiana Expedi- tion of 1922. Among these, the Cannon-Ball Tree was completed early enough in the year to be illustrated in the last annual report. The other most important additions are a large specimen of a Banyan-like fig tree, Ficus Benjamina, and a group of Victoria regia. The former, althoug an Indian species, is more or less widely grown in warm countries and is plentifully represented in the Georgetown Botanic Gardens, where a trunk was secured through the kindness of the Superintendent and of the Director of Agriculture of British Guiana. This trunk in its fresh condition weighed approximately a ton, but is now dry and light enough to be moved easily by two men. Like the banyan and other figs on the rubber-plant order, it is remarkable for its masses of pendent aérial roots. With leaves and fruits replaced, it should prove to be an object of great interest in the hall. The Victoria regia group also furnishes a new exhibit of a striking character. This famous South American Water-lily forms one of the chief attractions of the Georgetown Botanic Gardens, where abundant opportunities are afforded for its study. A mould of one of the huge leaves in a canal was made by covering the floating leaf with thin coat- ings of plaster until it was sufficiently reinforced to allow the entire leaf to be lifted from the water without deformation, after which the mould was completed on land. It was broken into four pieces for convenience of packing and transportation. Reassembled two years later in the Museum, it has served for the production of the large leaves in the group. Moulds of the flowers were also made where they grew. The final work on this group has just been completed. With its large leaves, spiny buds and large showy flowers in the various stages of expansion characteristic of them on successive days, this gigantic aquatic makes a conspicious addition to the collection of plant forms represented in the hall. 312 FreLD Museum or Natura History—Reports, Vou. VI. A reproduction of a flowering branch of a Barringtonia, an East Indian tree, also from the Georgetown Botanic Gardens, has been made and installed with the other exhibits of the Monkey-pot family. To represent the flowering structure and other botanical features of the Lace-bark Family, a flowering branch of the splendid Lagerstroemia flos regina ‘“‘the queen of flowers,’’ has been reproduced. This also was prepared from material secured by the Stanley Field Guiana Expedition. The Cactus exhibit has been increased by the addition of a flowering and fruiting branch of a Pereskia the Barbados Gooseberry, a leafy rep- resentative of the Cactus Family, particularly curious on account of its leafy fruits. A flowering and fruiting branch of the Cashew, Anacardium, adds another type of edible fruit to the collection in the Sumach Family which includes such diverse plants as poison-ivy and mangoes. The Cashew is often described as a fruit with its seed hanging on the out- side, its fleshy portion being formed by the enlargement of the flower- stem and not extending to envelop the seed, the well-known Cashew nut. The exhibit of Spurges, already illustrated by a Castor Bean plant, has received an addition in a flowering branch of a cactus-like Euphor- bia, the so-called Sweet Aloe. A flowering branch of an African Combretum with its red flower cluster faithfully reproduced in glass, together with a single enlarged flower, has been added to the exhibit of the Combretum Family and serves to illustrate its floral characters. The room vacated by the transfer of the departmental library has been made the Cryptogamic Herbarium and the collections of lower plants have all been put in order and installed there. One of the most notable single accessions among these is the E. T. & S. A. Harper Col- lection of Fungi, which is now completely labeled, ordered into genera and catalogued. This work on the Harper Collection was done by Miss Grace McCrone who was attached to the staff for several years for this special purpose. The collection comprises about 23,500 specimens, and 5,500 photographs, among them many stereoscopic, some of which are direct enlargements, the whole now for the first time entirely available for reference. The collection includes 10,248 numbers, particularly of fleshy fungi collected by E. T. Harper and, in addition, many standard series, e. g. Fungi Columbiana 5,324 numbers; Rabenhorst-Winter Fungi Europaei 1,849; Otto Jaap, 1,254; Phycotheca Boreali-Americana 2,713; Ellis & Everhart 420; C. L. Shear N. Y. Fungi 302; Torrend 302; Central American Fungi by C. L. Smith 224; E. Ule Mycotheca brasiliensis 143. JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 313 In response to the general interest in the native wild flowers an ex- periment was made early in the spring with an exhibit of living plants. These were planted in a case built on the order of a large-scale flower- box, installed in the Stanley Field Hall. The plan proved to be prac- ticable and was successful from the beginning. The plants survived transplanting and most of them appeared to thrive fairly well under the overhead light in thelargecentralhall. A few, however, such as the Spring Beauty, refused to open their flowers in the absence of direct sunlight. With the advance of the season, the case constructed was found to be inadequate for the display of the increasing number of plants coming into bloom. A larger case four times the size of the first one was there- fore built, which was large enough to permit of an approximate ecological arrangement of the plants. One corner of the case, with a somewhat elevated sandy ground, was made to serve for the sand-dune plants, an adjoining quarter, with better soil, was assigned to plants of dry woods, a lower quarter, surrounding a pool, served to accommodate moisture- loving vegetation, and the pool itself being devoted to aquatics. One end of the box, with heavier soil, provided suitable space for prairie plants. By bringing in fresh plants several times each week this indoor ex- hibit was maintained constantly in fresh condition, and kept pace with the progress of vegetation in the country surrounding Chicago. About five hundred species were shown during the season. No labels in the Museum were more thoroughly inspected than those giving the names of the plants in the Wild Flower bed. In connection with the Wild Flower exhibit, a series of illustrated leaflets were prepared, dealing in a non-technical manner with the com- mon plants of this region. Four of these have appeared to date, Spring Wild Flowers, Spring and Early Summer Wild Flowers, Summer Wild Flowers, and Autumn Wild Flowers and Fruits. The study of the Peruvian Collections, secured on the Captain Mar- shall Field Botanical Expeditions of 1922 and 1923, has been carried on with the generous coéperation of specialists on various plant families or groups. The results of this work are appearing in botanical maga- zines and institutional publications, and will be brought together under one cover upon the completion of the Peruvian exploration work by this Museum. Although only about one-half of the collections have been studied, a large number of undescribed species have been disclosed, some specialists reporting forty per cent of the material examined by them as representing undescribed plants. The type, that is, the original speci- men of each of the novelties, has been placed in the Museum herbarium, the specialist naming the species retaining for his institution the dupli- 314 Fretp Museum or NaturaL History—Reports, Vot. VI. cate material when such exists. As a consequence, the herbarium of Peruvian plants is unusually rich in type specimens, making it one of the most valuable of its kind in the world. It is equalled only by the Peruvian collections at Berlin, which include those made by Dr. A. Weberbauer, the distinguished German phytogeographer. Eight hun- dred and thirty-nine duplicate specimens of Dr. Weberbauer’s collec- tions have recently been acquired. The large number of new species reported by specialists is an indi- cation of the richness of the Peruvian flora and the great opportunity it presents for further exploration and botanical research. Evidently little relatively is as yet known regarding the herbs and trees of Peru. The present collections from there have been organized to the extent of placing them in families (and to some extent assigning them to genera), and were thus made available for study by the following specialists on particular groups: O. Ames, Ames Botanical Laboratory, Orchidaceae; S. F. Blake, U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry, Compositae (exclusive of groups listed else- where) Polygalaceae; G. S. Bryan, University of Wisconsin, and A. W. Evans, Yale University, Liverworts; Carl Epling, University of California, Southern Branch, Labiatae; H. A. Gleason, N. Y.

The Museum has been unable to contribute very materially to the study of these collections, as the large amount of routine and other work devolving on the small scientific staff in the department of Botany leaves little time for research. GroLocy.—The contents of the case of fossils in Stanley Field Hall were changed in part, the mounted skeleton of Dinictis being replaced by a series of models illustrating the evolution of the horse. Supple- menting this series, skulls and feet of early horses were installed. A res- toration of a fossil cycad flower prepared in the Stanley Field Plant Reproduction Laboratory, together with specimens of fossil cycad leaves, was also placed in this case. In the collection of systematic minerals in Hall 34, the installation of the specimens previously exhibited on shelves in four large cases was changed by placing them on sloping screens to which individual blocks were fastened. By this means the specimens are brought nearer to the eye of the observer and individual mounts are provided. The speci- mens of phosphates, arsenates, sulphates, hydrocarbons and pseudo- morphs, were mounted in this manner. After renovation of the interior, the contents of one case of the Chalmers crystal collection were rearranged, and additional labels provided so that they can be read from either side of the case. The case of amber was also cleaned, its contents rearranged and a collection of jet added. The exhibit of imitation gems, numbering 208 specimens, was reinstalled in trays newly lined with silk and new labels were provided. Rearrangements were also made of the contents of three cases of concretions and septaria in this hall, and a number of new specimens were added. A special installation was made of a specimen of quartz crystal containing water. This was installed in such a manner that by turning a button, movement of the water can be seen. The case containing the large fulgurite was moved from the west end of Hall 35 to a position adjoining the other fulgurites. One of the latter was mounted in a matrix of sand in order to aid in the interpre- tation of these bodies. The stalactites in the case of cave material were suspended from the top of the case in order that their natural positions might be represented. Several specimens were added to this series. The arrangement of the specimens of the systematic rock collection was improved by changing the position of three of the cases and rein- stalling one case. 316 Fretp Museum oF Natura History—REeEports, Vou. VI. The large model of the Moon which was presented to the Museum in 1898, by the late Lewis Reese of Chicago, was installed at the west end of Hall 35. This model is without doubt the largest and most elab- orate representation of the moon ever made and affords an unparalleled opportunity for the study of the surface features of our satellite. Al- though the model was constructed a number of years ago, the details of the moon’s surface large enough to be shown on it were at that time so fully known that later studies have not added materially to them. The model was constructed by Th. Dickert of Bonn under the immediate direction of Dr. J. F. Julius Schmidt, Director of the Observatory of Athens, Greece, and one of the most eminent of selenographers. The accuracy and completeness of the model can therefore be fully relied upon. The model is 19.2 feet in diameter and has a horizontal scale of 1:600,000 and a vertical scale of 1:200,000. For its present installation it was carefully reassembled and its surface fully restored and refinished. The model of a cement plant which has been in preparation for some time was completed and placed on exhibition in Hall 36. This model, 11% by 3% feet in dimension, is a reproduction of the plant of the Marquette Cement Company at Oglesby, Illinois, and illustrates all stages of the manufacture of portland cement from the mining of the raw materials to the finished product. Crushers, kilns and other machinery, storage houses, methods of transportation and details of mining limestone and clay for the cement are shown in full detail. The model has been mounted in a case of the standard Museum pattern, six feet high, and placed adjoining the general cement exhibit. The model was constructed in the Museum laboratories by Associate Curator Nichols and Valerie Legault. To officials of the Marquette Cement Company the Museum is under obligation for information freely given and many courtesies extended during the construction of the model. The installation of the exhibit of candles in this hall in one of the cases devoted to petroleum products was enlarged and modified to add the candles presented during the year by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Scenic backgrounds were provided in Skiff Hall for the series of three models illustrating the development of iron furnaces. These backgrounds were designed to show typical surroundings of successive types of iron furnaces and thus aid in visualizing the development of these furnaces. By the use of blocks giving more elevation to individual specimens, an improved installation was obtained for a large number of specimens in this hall. Exhibits to which this revision has been applied include those of asbestos, mica, phosphates, lime, gypsum, borax, abra- sives, salt, and part of the iron ores, comprising in all about 600 specimens. “AT ALV1d ‘SLYOd3SHY ‘NOOW 3H1L 40 1SqQOW “AYOLSIH TIVUNLYN 4O WNSSNW 734 JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 317 The positions of several cases in this Hall were changed in order to give a better distribution of certain exhibits, but the contents of the cases were not materially changed. The series of twenty-one specimens of Indiana limestone, presented by the Indiana Limestone Quarrymen’s Association, was installed in one of the cases containing building stones. Space was obtained by withdrawing specimens which were of lesser importance or out of date. A number of specimens of Canadian gold ores were added to the exhibit of these ores in the hall and the accompanying series rearranged. In order to replace the temporary base formerly used, a new and permanent base was constructed and placed in position for the restora- tion of the Moa on exhibition in Hall 38. The contents of two large cases of invertebrate fossils were transferred to other cases in order to make room for selected series of the Borden collection, and one of these cases was filled with the Borden fossils. The case containing the collec- tion of Paleozoic sponges, presented by Mr. William J. Chalmers and the late Byron L. Smith, was moved to the end of the hall, and an unoc- cupied case was then partly filled with fossils of the Borden collection. In order to improve their installation sloping screens with individual blocks were provided for a large number of Tertiary invertebrate fossils. Specimens of vertebrate fossils collected by the Capt. Marshall Field Expedition to Patagonia were installed in this hail during the year as fast as they were prepared for exhibition The specimens so installed included a series of four skulls of Nesodon, an animal resembling the rhinoceros in size. Two of the skulls were complete, the others are exhibited with the matrix only partially removed, in order to show the mode of occur- rence of these fossils. A complete skeleton of Interatherium, a small toxodont, a skull of a carnivore, Borhyzenodon, and of a sloth, Hapolops, and a carapace with partial skeleton of an extinct armadillo, Proeutatus, were other fossils from the Patagonian Expedition which were prepared and placed on exhibition in this hall. A skull and fore and hind limbs of the fossil horse, Equus scotti, from Texas, and specimens of Toxodon and Megatherium, collected by the Curator in Brazil, were also added to the series on exhibition. A number of the gem specimens collected by the Curator in Brazil were installed in Higinbotham Hall. These additions included five spe- cimens of crystallized emerald, a number of cut and uncut Brazilian diamonds, a cut blue aquamarine weighing 18934 carats, several speci- mens of cut and uncut topaz, including one large crystal of gem quality weighing 8934 pounds, a carved specimen of amethyst and some uncut specimens of the same mineral, several varieties of cut tourmaline mounted in a bracelet, and a large, cut rubellite or red tourmaline. The 318 FIELD Museum or NaturAL History—ReEports, Vov. VI. large, cut Persian turquoise, presented by H. H. Topakyan, was also installed in the hall. The Departmental library has been installed in three rooms adjacent to the Curator’s office. Substantial and well-finished stacks, fully sup- plied with shelving, have been built in these rooms, the style, design and finish of the stacks conforming to the space and lighting of the rooms. In these stacks the Departmental library, numbering about 10,000 volumes, has been installed. Groupings of the volumes have been made to facilitate reference. In Room 124 have been placed bound serials and works on gems, meteor- ites, etc.; in Room 121, publications of the United States Geological Survey and other United States government publications, and in Room 119, publications of state and foreign geological surveys. One thousand, three hundred and eighty-eight feet of shelving in all were provided and two of the rooms were furnished with tables and chairs. In addition, a room adjoining the library was fitted with shelving and other facilities for Departmental cataloguing, 102 feet of shelving having been provided for this purpose. Considerable progress was made in furnishing adequate installation for the study collections. Of the two large rooms and one small one on the third floor set aside for these collections, one is devoted to the study collection of fossil vertebrates, another to a part of the inverte- brate fossils, and the other to the remaining collections. In these rooms fourteen substantial stacks containing 2,074 trays were installed during the year. The stacks are arranged facing aisles leading to windows, thus affording good light. The stacks are 7 feet high and either 15 or 18 feet long. The trays are of wood and of the uniform lateral dimen- sions of 18 by 27 inches, but have a variation in depth of 3, 6% and 10 inches. The study collections illustrating systematic minerals, lith- ology, physical geology and economic geology have all been placed in these trays. For the most part the specimens are placed in smaller individual trays and labelled. The work of installation also included unpacking, cleaning and checking the record of each specimen as placed. The arrangement and distribution of these collections not only insures better preservation of the specimens and facilitates their study, but also enables more rapid and adequate selections to be made when speci- mens are desired for exhibition. Eight, well-finished oak tables 3 by 9 feet each have been provided in these rooms in order to facili- tate the sorting and handling of the study collections, and in two of the rooms, sinks with drain boards and running water have been installed. JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 319 After the return of Preparators Sternberg and Abbott from the field, preparation of the vertebrate fossils collected by the Captain Marshall Field Expedition in Patagonia was actively carried on by them in the paleontological laboratory. An electrically operated lathe with chucks, motor and flexible shaft was added to the equipment of this laboratory. ZooLocy.—In the Department of Zoology a case of North American Bears, prepared in 1923, including the Black, the Cinnamon and the Glacier Bear, was installed early in January in the systematic exhibit of mammals. This is the first of a new style of installation which it is proposed to introduce into this exhibit and to be developed gradually until the entire hall is reorganized. Although several species are included in a single case, those which are related are grouped together, and all are placed on a continuous natural groundwork instead of on separate wooden bases. Vegetation is introduced in a limited amount, and the realism of the groundwork is carried only to the point of the reproduction of general types of natural land formations. The feature of the installation is not only in the appearance of life given to the ani- mals when placed on natural rough surfaces instead of smooth polished ones, but in the opportunity it gives for attractive groupings and for varied poses and attitudes of individual animals. A second case (see Pl. LIT) of this series was installed late in the year, containing six species of North American cats, Jaguar, Cougar, Lynx, Bobcat, Ocelot and Yaguarundi. A small case containing a temporary installation of an American Red Fox was removed from Stanley Field Hall and in its place was substituted a Chilean Pudu, one of the very tiny deer recently obtained by the Captain Marshall Field Chilean expedition. Owing to lack of cases and pending rearrangement of space, no further installa- tions of mammals were made, but a considerable number of specimens were mounted for use in the near future. Among these are White Mountain Sheep, Chilean Huemul, Brazilian Maned Wolf, Ouakari Monkey, Chinchilla, Peruvian Tayra, Argentine Viscacha, American Badger, and a series of small mammals from the vicinity of Chicago. A case of American birds of prey, including the better known hawks and owls, was installed for temporary display in Stanley Field Hall. In this hall, late in the year, a group of the extinct Passenger Pigeon was placed on exhibition. Eight birds and a nest and egg are shown in the upper branches of an oak stub, representing a scene in northern Illinois. The birds are the finest of a considerable series which has been accumu- lated over a period of years and presented to the Museum by President Stanley Field. Some of the specimens had been preserved for more than fifty years and their preparation in life-like positions was a matter 320 FIELD Museum or NATuRAL History—ReEports, Vou. VI. of patient and skillful manipulation which was carried out very suc- cessfully by Taxidermist Hine. A feature of the group is the nest, which is a genuine one presented by R. M. Barnes, and one of the very few Passenger Pigeon’s nests which are known to be preserved. Many other birds were mounted during the year to meet needs which will arise in the proposed revision of the systematic exhibit of birds. These are necessarily withheld from installation for a time until others properly belonging with them can be obtained. Models of a South American Anaconda and a Belize Crocodile were temporarily exhibited in the hall of reptiles, but were later removed for rearrangement since the Anaconda showed striking qualities which seemed to warrant the devotion of an entire case to it. Further models of reptiles have been made but not installed. These include a Florida King Snake, a Corn Snake, a Chicken Snake, a Glass Snake and a Gila Monster. The two American Crocodiles, begun in 1923, were completed, and only await delivery of a case for installation in a large group for which accessions are practically all prepared. A special case of recently mounted fishes was shown in Stanley Field Hall. One side of this was devoted to game fishes of our northern lakes and streams, especially pike, pickerel and muskellunge, showing the dis- tinctions between the scientifically recognizable varieties which are so often confused in the popular mind. On the other side of the case was displayed a collection of Pacific Coast food fishes, mostly from the vicin- ity of Catalina Island, and presented to the Museum by Mr. Keith Spaulding. Various other fish specimens were finished but not installed, and at the close of the year nearly 200 were on hand in partly prepared condition. Considerable progress, despite pressure of other work, was made on the determining and respreading of the North American butterflies and moths selected for exhibition, with the result that the installation of some of this material may be confidently expected in 1925. Two special exhibits of zoological pictures were carried out during the year. The first of these consisted of 72 oil paintings of fishes and angling scenes by Mr. Louis Rhead, which were on view in Room 12 for several months. Later, an exhibition was given of hand colored photo- graphs of birds by Mr. E. H. Matern of Detroit. In December, fourteen new exhibition cases of improved design were delivered, and arrangements were begun for their utilization at once in the systematic halls of birds and mammals. Old style cases, as released from the hall of mammals, were transferred to the hall of osteology to be used for the skeletons of large mammals heretofore shown on open JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 25 stands. At the close of the year, these transfers and rearrangements were under way. Much needed equipment in the offices and work rooms of the De- partment was provided, especially in the divisions of Reptiles and Oste- ology, where built-in storage cases of good design were constructed. These have made possible the unpacking and transfer of collections from temporary to permanent quarters where permanent systems of arrangement and labeling may be put into effect. In the Division of Reptiles, especially, the arrangement of cases, trays, work tables, cata- logues, files and books is all that could be desired. Incoming material can be cared for promptly and without waste of time, while among the thousands of specimens stored, any one needed may be found at a moment’s notice. The removal of the principal taxidermists’ quarters from the ground floor to the fourth floor has proved highly successful. The conditions of accessibility, space, light and air in the new quarters are practically ideal, and fulfill to an unusual degree the rather exacting requirements of artist, sculptor and skin dresser. In the exhibition halls, the installation of a new system of artificial lighting by which all the large groups receive top light, has resulted in very great improvement. All the cases containing bird groups and others having painted backgrounds have been opened, and the speci- mens and accessories cleaned and renovated. Meanwhile, the back- grounds have been cleaned of stains, and considerable repainting has been done to overcome defects incurred through unavoidable exposure during and since moving them from the old Museum building. The African Elephants in Stanley Field Hall also were cleaned and their skins given such external treatment as seemed advisable to insure their further preservation in good condition. The continued generous contributions of Mr. Edward E. Ayer to the zoological library, especially in the subjects of ornithology and ich- thyology, made it necessary to provide more shelf room for the rapidly growing collection of books. The crowded condition was relieved by the addition of three new cases which involved a complete rearrange- ment of all the books. This was carried out under the supervision of Associate Curator Gerhard with the assistance of several other members of the staff. The library is now well arranged under a uniform system of classification in which provision is made for considerable future expansion. Good progress was made during the year in the preparation of rough Specimens received from recent expeditions. The taxidermists, when 322 FIELD Museum or NaturaL History—Reports, VoL. VI. time could be spared from exhibition work, have prepared a consider- able number of mammal skins for the reference collection, and the skin dresser has been kept busy with the large amount of material needing his attention. The osteolegist has cleaned some 800 skulls and a small number of skeletons in addition to the work of unpacking, classifying, and arranging the general osteological collections in the new storage cases. THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION At the close of the year, 830 cases were available for loaning to the schools of Chicago. This total is an increase of sixty cases over the preceding year. Several more cases would have been added to the series had there not been a delay on the part of the cabinet makers in delivering cases to the Department. Work on most of the new cases was started since the first of the year 1924, although preparation on a few of the cases that were finished began late in the year 1923. In addition to the cases completed a number are in various stages of preparation. The several hundred cases that have been in constant use in the schools during the 1923-1924 school year, were carefully inspected for such repairs to the cases and their contents as might be necessary. The number of cases requiring repairs was exceedingly small in comparison with the large number in circulation. The codperation of Swift & Company enabled the Department to prepare six duplicated cases of ‘‘Beef and By-products.’’ Under this heading are exhibited miniatures of a Hereford steer, and a side of beef outlined to show the various obtainable cuts, and specimens of thirty or more well-known by-products of cattle. It has been possible for this Department, through the aid of Sprague, Warner and Company, to prepare four interesting and attractive cases of Spanish Paprika. In preparing cases of natural history subjects it has been the purpose of this Department to use specimens that are to be found in and around Chicago. As a result of this endeavor there have been prepared cases of 290 such subjects. Of this number 173 are of differ- ent species of birds, 34 are of various insects, 17 of different fishes, 16 of mammals, 14 of reptiles, and 16 of plants. Many of these specimens are shown in habitat groups. A schedule which provides that two cases shall be continually in each school became effective at the beginning of the present school year. In accordance with this arrangement two cases are now delivered to each school and left there for ten school days. At the end of that period they ., 192 F THE DIRECTOR 23 AN ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTO 222 are collected for delivery elsewhere and two other cases are substituted for them. By this procedure, 656 cases are kept in continuous circulation among the schools. During the school year the 328 schools on the schedule are loaned two cases on each of the seventeen deliveries that are made to each of the schools. This will insure to each school the use of thirty-four cases during the school year. An additional truck was placed in operation at the beginning of the present school year. With the two trucks now in use not only a depend- able schedule is assured, but also the loaning of cases with greater fre- quency and promptness than heretofore, when requested by schools for specific purposes. The body of the new truck is similar in appearance and detail of construction to the one originally planned for this Depart- ment, which is still in use. During the year a requisition was made for one hundred new cases | similar to those in use since the creation of this Department, which have | met the many requirements demanded of them. Gads Hill Center, a community settlement at 1919 West Cullerton Street, made application for the loan of cases, and this service has been extended by the Department. The Head Resident of the Gads Hill Center in reporting the aid the cases had been to that institution, stated: “We keep the cases in our lobby. Last year we ran an attendance of 90,000 and I think we are holding that average this year. Every one does not stop to look at the cases, but great numbers do, and because they do not come in crowds they have time to pause, pull out the slides and read. I know it all counts.”’ During the past year, as in previous years, requests were received from sources other than schools of Chicago for the loan of cases. In response to these requests eight cases of natural history subjects were loaned to the Chicago Art Institute from June 30th to August 22nd, for use in its juvenile section; and ten cases were loaned for one month to the Chicago Chapter of the Wild Flowers Preservation Society of Amer- ica, for its annual exhibition held at the Art Institute. Again, the Secre- tary of Bureau of Parks, Playgrounds and Beaches requested a number of cases for exhibition on the Municipal Pier during the summer vacation period. In compliance with this request twenty-four cases were loaned. The Promotional Manager of the Central Y. M. C. A. school asked for, and was loaned, twelve cases for educational purposes. The Harris Trust and Savings Bank was loaned two cases of bird subjects. These cases were exhibited for a period of two weeks in a street window of the bank. To illustrate a lecture given at the New First Church to the Gnosis Club, two cases were loaned. The Rochester (Minnesota) Art 324 Fietp Museum or NaturAL History—Reports, Vou. VI. Association was loaned four cases, and two cases were loaned to the Nashville (Tennessee) Art Gallery. Gutpe Lecturers.—As in former years, the guide-lecture service was extended to classes from public, parochial and private schools, to clubs, conventions, and other groups of visitors to the Museum. Dur- ing the year an assistant guide-lecturer was added to the staff and the service was expanded into several new fields. One of the first innova- tions was a Vacation Course of Instruction given during the Summer months for children recommended by members of the Museum. This course was composed of a series of ten lessons based on Museum exhib- its, supplemented by sets of lantern slides. It was attended by 26 classes with an enrollment of 222 children. A further addition to the work was made by providing illustrated lectures in connection with the tours for women’s clubs. These lectures served either as an introduc- tion to the Museum collections as a whole, or to the particular collec- tion to be studied by the club. The lecture on ‘‘Activities Behind the Scenes,”’ in which the history of the Museum, its methods of making collections and the preparation of exhibits were described, was of par- ticular interest to the club members. There were 41 of these lectures given with an attendance of goo individuals. School classes, numbering 128, enjoyed the privilege of conducted tours through the collections correlating with their course of study. Towards the close of the year reprints of the “Outline of the Elementary Public School Curriculum and Museum Exhibits Showing the Correlation in Geography, His- tory, Science and Manual Arts” were distributed to all school princi- pals in the city, for the purpose of stimulating their interest in the Mu- seum guide lecture service. The clubs and conventions receiving guide- lecture service during the year numbered 98, with an attendance of 2,410. There were 135 lectures on Museum exhibits given to general visitors, in accordance with the printed schedule. A total of 428 lectures were given by the guide-lecturers to 9,091 individuals. ArT RESEARCH CLassEes.—During the year the classes in research from the Art Institute of Chicago visited the Museum daily. There were approximately 400 students enrolled in these classes under the direction of five instructors. The subjects studied included primitive design, Indian basketry, pottery, textiles and beadwork, Egyptian, Greek and Roman pottery, Chinese vase forms and designs, Javanese batik and Melanesian design and miscellaneous design. The nature studies con- sisted of leaves, flowers and seeds, birds, insects, reptiles, fish, shells, rock coloration and precious stones, large and small.

A portfolio on research ‘‘Design in Nature,’’ compiled from the work of students, containing approximately 220 plates, showing about 3,000 designs, is now being produced by the Museum Press. The work in this portfolio is highly illustrative of the educational advantages of such organized classes in the Museum. PUBLICITY GENERAL.— During the past year the scope of the Publicity work was enlarged to include the aims and purposes of the Museum organiza- tion, in order that they might be more clearly understood by the public. A larger geographic territory was covered, both by press notices and advertising, and as a result a correspondingly larger public was informed of the work accomplished by the Museum staff. The publicity during the early period of its work was largely confined to acquainting the public with the location, approaches and free days of the Museum. While this was continued throughout the year, a larger number of press notices were sent out with a view to creating an interest in the personnel of the Institution, and in the results of their research and laboratory work. In the press notices the primary consideration was whether the story would interest the public sufficiently to attract it to the Museum for further investigation of the exhibits on display. This necessarily led to the curtailment of articles of a more technical character. The advertising, with one exception, was changed from directional placards to posters of the exhibits on display at the Museum. The Institution is grateful to the transportation companies for their con- tribution of advertising space, and greatly indebted to them. Press Pusriiciry.—An average of two newspaper notices were pub- lished each week in the local papers. Of the one hundred and twenty articles printed, thirty-eight were selected by the Associated Press or other news syndicates, and received a national circulation. Descriptive articles of the Museum expeditions to South America were sent to the South American press by the Associated and United Press Syndicate. The foreign language press of the city, which reaches over eight hun- dred thousand persons, was included this year for newspaper notices. These newspapers gave the Museum an unusual amount of space for general articles describing the departmental exhibits. Photographs from the expeditions being conducted by the Museum, and photographs of new exhibits, were printed by the Sunday Tribune, 326 FieLD Museum or Natura. History—Reports, Vou. VI. Daily News, N. E. A. Service, Underwood and Underwood, Atlantic- Pacific, International News Service, and Popular Science Monthly, the news services of these syndicates covering the entire country. Reviews of the leaflet and design series of publications were published by the literary supplements of the local papers, New York Times and World, and popular scientific magazines. Notices of the lecture series were printed in the convention column of the daily press through the cour- tesy of the Chicago Association of Commerce. ADVERTISING.—A total of 22,600 posters were distributed during the year to the transportation agencies, of which 8,300 were printed outside of the Museum at the expense of these companies. The others were printed by the Museum. A series of six color posters, representing Museum exhibits, were dis- played for one year in the Elevated Line Stations. Two larger posters of Museum exhibits were printed by the Chicago Rapid Transit Com- pany, at their expense, and displayed on the elevated platforms for four months. Placards announcing the lecture courses were also displayed by the Rapid Transit Company in the spring and fall. An additional general placard was placed on the station platforms in December. The surface Lines printed, at their own expense, a number of overhead pos- ters advertising the Museum, which were placed on the cars in March and August. They also displayed lecture placards in the bulkheads of the cars during the spring and fall. This represented a total dis- play of 6,200 posters printed by the Museum. The Illinois Central, through the courtesy of the Inland Advertising Company, granted space for a year in their suburban service. Two posters were displayed for a period of six months each, and lecture programs were placed on the station platforms during the spring and autumn courses. The Rock Island Suburban Service, and the Aurora and Elgin Electric Lines also placed the Museum lecture programs on their station platforms during the spring and fall. Three-color posters of the Museum building, giving the hours, loca- tion and other information concerning the Institution were prominently placed during January and February by the following stores: Marshall Field & Co., Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co., Charles A. Stevens & Bros., Davis Dry Goods Co., Mandel Bros., The Hub, and Hillman’s Department Store. For this purpose three hundred posters were used. Museum posters and direction folders, giving the correct motor routes to the Museum, were sent to all of the motor clubs in the central western states. These posters and cards were placed in their tourists’ bureau for free distribution to motorists. Bee JAN., 1925 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 327 General and directional advertisements were placed in six of the largest foreign language papers on Saturdays and Sundays for the month of August, and a similar advertisement for the Saturday and Sunday preceding Labor Day. Marshall Field and Company placed an editorial concerning the Museum in their advertising columns, which was shown for two days in all local newspapers. This gave the editorial a circula- tion of approximately 1,500,000. The Automobile Blue Book, Associated Tours Guide and TIB Auto Route Books published directions for reaching the Museum by motor. The Motor News in its September issue printed a special cover showing the Museum building. The Chicago Sunday Schools were added to the list of institutions displaying the lecture courses of the Museum on their bulletin boards. Rapio.—Eleven radio talks were given on Friday nights during April, May and June by members of the scientific staff. Reports re- ceived from the WMAOQ, Daily News Radio Station, show that these talks were enthusiastically received throughout the country. NEWSREELS.—Newsreels were made of the following subjects: PaTHE: Cement Plant, Construction of Fulgurite, Presentation of Turquoise to Museum, Comparative sizes of Topaz, Turquoise and other stones, Construction of plaster cast models of face and hands of Chinese students and process of dressing manikin for exhibits of Chinese theatri- cal costumes, Film showing steps in new celluloid process. INTERNA- TIONAL NEWSREEL: Film showing Topaz and Turquoise. Fox Firm CorpPoRATION: Film of fossil eggs. TraDE Papers.—Articles on economic exhibits in the Museum were published by the following trade and class journals: Paint, Oil and Chemical Review, Jeweler’s Circular, Power Boating, Central Fur- rier, Furniture Journal, American Lumberman, Women’s World, Drake- a-Day, Yellow Cab Taxigrams. Special articles on the Museum were printed by the following publications: Daily News Almanac, World’s Almanac, Encyclopedia Americana and the Architectural Record.
