the forest at this place, a strip of higher ground runs out some
distance upon the meadow. The tension lines are well demarcated
here. Juniperus virginiana L. is the only tree which borders
directly the sali marsh. A rounded dune occurs on the edge of the
marsh, From it a closer prospect of the salt marsh is to be had.
Juniperus virginiana L., Rhus glabra L., Myrica cerifera L.,
Sassafras sassafras (L.) Karst., Ilex opaca Ait., Rhus radicans L.,
with the climbing Willoughbea scandens (L.) Kuntze form the
vegetal covering of this eminence. The outer zone of the salt
marsh is characterized by the presence of Hibiscus mo-cheutos L.
On the marsh proper occurs in several well-marked zones Dis-
tichlis maritima (1...) Greene in the more elevated portions, while
Salicornia herbacea L., S. bigelovit Torr., Spartina patens (Ait. )
Muhl., and Limonium carolinianum (Walt.) Britton grow in the
wetter areas. Along the edge of the thoroughfare® through which
the tidal water circulates is found a pure association of Spartina
stricta (Ait.) Roth. The accompanying figure (fig. 5) shows the
zonal distribution of the salt-marsh plants on Seven-Mile Beach.
Near the outer edge of the marsh Hydrocotyle umbelluta L. is
found, while on exposed sand slopes Opuntia opuntia (Li. ) Coult.
is at home with a rose and a willow forming nearby thickets.
COMPARISON OF THE DuNES aT PIERMONT AND AT SEA SIDE
PARK.
The dune formation of the New Jersey coast, as previously men-
tioned, reaches its culmination at Piermont, where sand hills forty
to fifty feet high are met with. The western slope of the
dunes at Piermont are precipitous, while the eastern slope (a
gradual incline) grades off into the lower dunes of the dune com-
plex. The dunes at Sea Side Park range in elevation from ten to
twenty feet, and the eastward or seaward slope is much the
steepest. The causes which have brought about this difference are
the following: The waye-made embankments on the sandy beaches
differ in their form and in the conditions of their construction from
ihose which are made up of pebbles.*| The sand, owing to the
fineness of its grains, is easily blown about by the wind. When
ihe tide retires, a broad expanse of this material is left for some
hours exposed to the sun. The surface dries, and the gales from

the sea sweep the particles up the slope until they arrive at the
crest wall, where they are caught in the tangle of beach grasses
and other plants, and are protected from ihe currents of air.
When the movement of sand is most rapid, it may bury these
plants out of sight, but most of them are tolerant of this covering
of sand, and quickly grow upward and make a new entanglement
for the moving sand. ‘Such plants are Ammophila arenaria (L:)
Link, Prunus maritima Wang. and others previously described.
In this manner, the crest of the beach grows upward and the lee
slope of the sand hill is always the steepest one. The dunes of
the New Jersey coast are not so marked as some in other parts of
the world (as, for example, at Eccles, in England, where one of
these dunes in the last century invaded the village and buried the
dwellings and the parish church so that even the top of the spire
was hidden) for the reason that the prevailing winds of New
Jersey are from the west; and the sand swept up from the sea-
margin by the ocean storms and easterly breezes is, to a great
extent, carried back by ihe off-shore winds. Even these dunes
would have a precarious existence were it not for the fact that the
vegetation, generally quite tuxuriant, holds the sand in place. The
prevalent west winds and the absence of protecting trees account
for the character of the dunes at Sea Side Park, where the frontal
dune slopes gradually up from the windward or landward side to
the crest of the aune, the leeward or ocean side being quite steep
and declivitous.
At Piermont, on the contrary, the western or windward slope of
the dune is the steepest. Here a forest, formerly five hundred feet
wider, is being engulfed by the drifting sand. The sand, carried
by eddies of the prevailing western winds, but more especially by
the winds of ocean storms, ascends the surface of the dune and
falls over its erest into the forest. When a stiff breeze is blowing,
the sand skims along like drifting snow sufficiently strong to decor-
ticate trees. The forest, choked with undergrowth composed of
climbing plants and shrubs, as previously mentioned, prevents the
access of the western breezes that are prevalent and which are
inimical to dune upbuilding, and the sand, therefore, moves relent-
lessly carried by the eastern winds that now and then blow upon
the forest that engendered the dune. ‘The presence of this forest,
therefore, explains the peculiarities of the dune formation at Pier-
mont, as contrasted with that at Sea Side Park.

Tsar Apsecon (ATLANTIC Crry) Brac Srranp.
Dr. Thomas S. Githens has furnished me with the results of
some observations upon the flora of Absecon Beach. The coast in
the neighborhood of Atlantic City is occupied largely by human
habitations, so that the flora has been modified except at several
places about two to four miles south of Absecon Inlet. The geog-
raphy of the island may be shown by the accompanying diagrams
in fig. 6.

The upper figure is an outline map of Absecon Beach with the eco-
logic lines A, B, C, D drawn across it. The lower figure represents
cross-sections of the beach along the lines A, B, C, D, and shows the
relative elevations along each line. The letters and numerals designate
different zonal areas, where the plants designated by similar numerals
are referred to the several zones in the accompanying list, made by Dr.
Thomas 8. Githens.
The region, botanically considered, has been divided by Dr.
Githens in his notes* as follows:
Area I.—Beach.
Zone (a)—Tide Beach.
Zone (6)—Second Beach.

It will be observed that the author of the noles confuses botani
cal and physiographic features. The classification should be either
based on the floral make-up of the region, or be arranged accord-
ing to its physiography. Thus, for example, this botanist has
juniper thickets and dry marsh and boggy marsh zones. Barring
these inadvertencies the classification of areas is a natural one.
The first beach, according to Dr. Githens, supports no plants except
occasionally Cakile edentula (Bigel.) Hook. The outer (Low
. Dune) is held in place by the character grass (Ammophila arenaria
(L.) Link). The outer edge of the dune complex (Second Beach )
is occupied by the Atlantic City and Longport Railroad, but in
places Cakile edentula (Bigel.) Hook., Ammophila arenaria (L )
Link, Cenchrus tribuloides L., Salsola kali L. are found. The
captured dunes (High Dunes of the classification) are covered
with thickets of Juniperus virginiana L. and Myrica cerifera L.,
interspersed with bare spaces on which Hudsonia tomentosa Nutt.,
as a character plant, grows. Prunus maritima Wang. and P.
virginiana Li. grow in all the sheltered places. The landward
1902. ] NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA. 659
slope is characterized by the presence of holly, Zdex opaca Ait., the
height of the dune being determined by the height of the protect-
ing trees, 7.e., twenty-five feet. The island is about two miles
long, and is set in the middle of the marsh about half a mile
inland from the high dunes. It is covered mainly by pine and
oak trees which are quite large on its highest parts. Inside of this
marsh island there is a comparatively dry marsh, in which all
plants except grasses, rushes and sedges do better than in the
larger marsh outside. At the ends of this island in the marsh,
and on the landward side, are low-lying sandy plains, low enough to
be saturated at high tide with salt water and which support
a characteristic growth of Buda and similar succulent species.
In the list, which is rather cumbersome, the numbers refer to
the areas marked on the map represented in fig. 6, and the
lower-case letters of the alphabet refer to the zones into which
the several areas are divided. The plants, therefore, in the list
occur in the areas and zones designated. A dagger (+) signifies
that the plant is represented in the herbarium of Dr. Githens.
The plants in the list are named according to the sixth edition of
Gray’s Manual, but for convenience of reference the writer, who
has edited the notes of Dr. Githens, has added the names found in
Britton’s Manual of the North United States and Canada. The
orders follow the sequence of Engler and Prantl’s Die Natiirlichen
Pflanzenfamilien. The planis not given in the list published in

designated by an asterisk.

A COLLECTION OF BIRDS FROM SUMATRA, OBTAINED BY ALFRED C.
HARRISON, JR., AND DR. H. M. HILLER.
BY WITMER STONE.
The present paper is based upon a collection of bird skins col-
lected on the Island of Sumatra by Mr. Alfred C. Harrison, Jr.,
and Dr. H. M. Hiller, and presented by them to the Academy of
Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. The collection, representing 138
species, is the most extensive ever brought to America from this
island and adds materially to our knowledge of the distribution and
relationship of a number of species.
Collecting was carried on at three different points: (1) At Batu
Sangkar, Tanah Datar, in the highlands east of Padang, at from
1,500 to 3,000 feet elevation, during August and September,
1901; (2) at Goenong Soegi, in the Lampong district of south-
eastern Sumatra, at an elevation of Jess than 500 feet, during Octo-
ber and November, 1901, and (3) in the vicinity of Padang. No
further data accompanies the specimens, but the collectors inform
me that the apparent presence of a species exclusively at one
locality, as shown by the specimens, does not necessarily indicate
its absence from another, as species well represented in the Padang
collection were in some instances passed byin Lampong. In conse-
quence of this the fact that of 94 species obtained in Lampong and
59 in Padang, only 33 were secured in both places loses mucn of its
significance. Moreover, upon comparing the published lists of Su-
matra birds we find that the Marquis of ‘Tweeddale’s report, based
upon a Lampong collection (Ibis 1877), contains 81 species not
found in the present series, while our material includes 35 not men-
tioned by Tweeddale.
While information is still inadequate to form generalizations
upon the details of the distribution of birds on the island, it would
seem that the majority of the species range from the lower Malay
peninsula throughout Sumatra and many into Java without mate-
rial differentiation; and a comparison of the combined lists from
Deli, in the northwestern extremity of the island, with those of
1902.] NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA. 671
Lampong, in the southeastern corner, show that the majority of the
species occur at both points. In fact, the high mountains of the

strongly shaded with purplish-blue almost to their tips. At the
base is an area of greenish-blue of greater or less extent, some-
times suffusing the inner web nearly to the tip, and in other exam-
ples almost entirely concealed at the extreme base of the feather.
Compared with other material before me, these specimens agree well
with one from Siam, but differ markedly from a Philippine speci-
men in the much smaller bill and in color pattern, the latter
matching Sharpe’s figure of orientalis exactly. Sharpe credits
both forms to Borneo, ealonyx being a winter visitor, and it is pos-

Pelargopsis capensis (Linn,).
Alcedo capensis Linneus, Syst. Nat. (XII), 1766, p. 180. ‘Cape of
Good Hope ”’ prob.=Java.
Four specimens from Lampong.
The unfortunate complication of names which exists in this group
has given rise to a great diversity of treatment by different authors.
The facts in case are briefly as follows: Linneus (1753) gave the
name capensis to a kingfisher described by Brisson from the Cape
of Good Hope, but which we now know must have come from the
Malay region.
Boddaert (1783) proposed the name javana for the bird figured
by Daubenton (Pl. Enl., 757) as from Java, but which we now
know is the Bornean species.
Gmelin (1788) based a name Jeucocep hala on the same plate.
Pearson (1841) described a species gurial from Bengal.
In the light of our present knowledge it is possible to fix the
name javana upon the bird from Borneo (ef. Hartert, Nov. Zool.,
IX, p. 202), and the other two names upon races of a closely
allied group found from India to Java. The name gurial with a
definite type locality is easily disposed of, which leaves capensis
Linn. for one of the remaining races.
Sharpe (1870) was the first to designate these by name, pro-
posing floresiana for the bird from Flores, burmanica for the
Burmah form, and malaccensis for that of the Malay peninsula.
At the same time he states that he considers Brigson’s description,
upon which Linneus’ name eapensis was mainly based, to apply
to the Javan bird, but that Daubenton’s plate, also quoted by
Linnzeus, represents his floresiana. Subsequently (Cat. Bds. Brit.
Mus., XV, p. 106) he considers Daubenton’s plate to have been
1902.) NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA. 675
based upon Brisson, which seems to fix capensis more firmly than
ever upon the Javan bird. Sharpe did not adopt the name capen-
sis solely because of the incongruity, and so proposed the name
fraseri for it (1870). The adoption of capensis is, I think,
inevitable. Hartert (Nov. Zool.; IX, p. 202) claims that all the
blue and green-backed species of Pelargopsis should be treated as
subspecies of one widely spread group, which plan seems to sim-
plify the matter materially, though the name Pelargopsis capensis
javana for a Bornean bird will not meet with much favor from
those who still believe in the propriety of ignoring names which
are geographically misleading.

an open question; though Raftles probably had the Sumatran bird
in mind he does not say so, nor is his diagnosis sufficient to iden-
tify it.

black feathers in the tail, and the next pair white for a space of
one inch. This bird exactly matches a Siam example in the
Academy collection. From the material at hand this race does
not seem very well defined.
Cittocincla macrurus suavis (Sclater).
Copsychus suavis Sclater, P. Z. S., 1861, p. 185. Borneo.
Five specimens from Lampong.
Sharpe (Cat. Birds, VII, p. 88) states that the name C. macrurus
should not be used, as it is not identifiable ; the white outer tail
feathers of Latham’s plate would indicate the Bornean bird, while
the type locality, ‘‘ Pulo Condore,’’ would almost certainly yield
true ‘‘ tricolor.’’ ‘The present series from Sumatra shows much
variation in the extent of white on the outer tail feathers. In one
it is £ in., measured along the mid-rib, and in another 23.

Trichastoma buttikoferi Vorderm.
Trichostoma Bittikoferi YVorderman, Nat. Tijdschr. Ned. Indie,
1892, p. 230. Lampong, Sumatra (Ref. from Buttikofer),.
One specimen from the Lampong district which agrees exactly
with the description of Vorderman’s hitherto unique bird. The
present specinen (No. 39,204, Coll. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila.)
measures: wing 70 mm., tail 54, tarsus 27, culmen 15. The
“narrow black edgings’’ to the feathers of the crown, while
clearly apparent, are really an optical effect produced by the
loose-vaned feathers lying over one another.
In Mr. Biittikofer’s excellent paper in Notes from the Leyden
Museum, XVII, p. 65, 1895, I am unable to appreciate the impor-
tance of the character upon which he bases his primary division of
the genus Trichastoma (p. 87), 7.e., the presence or absence of
“* concealed white longitudinal shaft streaks on the feathers of the
back and rump.’”’
The specimen above mentioned has the basal portion of ihe
shafts of these feathers white, yet it is placed in the section with
no white concealed streaks; while the type of 7. celebense Strick-
land, which is now before me (No. 17,370, Coll. Acad. Nat. Sci.
686 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [Oct. ,
Phila. ), seems to show less of these white shafts than does 7.
biittikoferi, yet it falls in the other division.
Malacopteron erythrote of Sharpe I had already decided to be
congeneric with 7. biittikoferi before consulting Mr. Buttikofer’s
paper, and I find he has reached the same conclusion, regarding it
as a synonym of Trichastoma pyrrhogenys Temm., which it evi-
dently is. There may be some question, however, as to the geo-
graphic distribution of the species, as our two specimens are labeled
Sumatra.
On p. 84 of Mr. Biittikofer’s paper he refers Brachypteryx
polyogenys Strickl. with a query to Anuropsis malaccensis (Hartl. ).
With Strickland’s type before me I have no hesitation in confirm-
ing this identification. Another of Strickland’s types, also in the
Academy’s collection, brings to light a curious error which has been
perpetuated in all the works on the Timalie, and which involves a
change in the name of the well-known Rhinomyias pectoralis.
Among the many type specimens secured for the Academy by Dr.
Thomas B. Wilson is the original of Napothera umbratilis
‘©Temm.’’ Strickland (Cont. Orn., 1849, p. 128, Pl. 31). This
name being quoted by Sharpe, Oates and Biittikofer as a synonym
of Trichastoma rostratum Blyth, I made an examination of the
Strickland specimen, regarding it as typical of the genus Tricha-
stoma, but soon became convinced that it had nothing whatever to
do with the latter, and subsequently, with the aid of Dr. C. W.
-Richmond, it was identified as Rhinomyias pectoralis Salvad.!
Strickland’s name having many years’ priority must be adopted,
and the species will then stand as Rhinomyias umbratilis (Strickl. ).
Dr. Richmond has sent me for comparison some specimens of
Rhinomyias from the U. 8. National Museum collection, collected in
Linga and Mandalar Islands, Western Sumatra, which he had
identified as ‘‘ R. pectoralis.’’ These, however, differ from the
type of R. wmbratilis, of which pectoralis becomes a synonym, and
seem worthy of separation as a distinct race, for which I would
propose the name of
Rhinomyias umbratilis richmondi subsp. nov. .
Type 170,8 0, U. S. Nat. Mus., Mansalar Island, west coast of
Sumatra, March 12, 1902. Dr. W. L. Abbott.

east, which color is entirely lacking from the type specimen of
R. umbratilis. Nearly uniform olive-brown above (intermediate
between mummy-brown and olive of Ridgway’s Nomenclature of
Colors), edges of wings and tail more tawny; sides of the face and
neck like the back, lores whitish and feathers behind the eye dis-
tinctly grayish. Below pure white, sides of body under the wings
pale olive, and a pronounced pectoral band of olive-brown darkest
at the sides. <‘‘ Bill black. Iris brown. Feet purplish-fleshy ’’
( Abbott ).
Length (in flesh) 62 inches = 162 mm.; wing, 74 mm. ; tar-
sus, 18 mm.
Another specimen, obtained by Dr. Abbott on Linga Island,
July 14, 1899, is essentially similar, and from both of them the
type of R. wmbratilis differs in its distinetly tawny-brown coloration.
Prinia olivacea (Rafil.).
Mo acilla olivacea Rafiles, Trans. Linn. Soc., XIII, p. 318, 1822.
Two specimens from Lampong.
In his description of this bird in the Catalogue of Birds, Dr.
Sharpe states that the head of the adult is brown, and again that
in the young or winter plumage the head is ‘‘ brown, not gray.’’
The specimens before me, which I take to be adult, have the head
distinctly gray all around in contrast to the olive back, throat
pure white and a broad gray collar joining the gray of the sides
of the neck and separating the white throat from the yellow abdo-
men. Two other examples from Java, kindly loaned by the U. 8.
National Museum, have the appearance of being young birds in
juvenal plumage, with shorter biils and duller coloration. Head
uniform olive-brown like the back, lores and stripe to the top of
the eye white.

the name is changed to C. religiosa Linn., but in the English trans-

as Linnzeus’ name seems applicable to the Indian bird, we can use
javanensis Osbeck, 1771, for this one.

REPORT OF THE CURATORS.
The year just past has been one of prosperity. While the soci-
ety’s income is small compared with that of many othcr institutions
of like character, the increase in its scientific collections has been
large, and the results obtained in original research have been the
most extensive in its history.
The buildings and the collections in. the care of the Curators
have been kept in excellent condition during the year, while many
improvements have been effected.
Additional space has been provided for the Entomological depart-
ment by enclosing another section of the first floor of the old
Museum. ‘The taxidermist’s quarters in the new wing have been
partitioned off from the rest of the basement and heated.
An enlarged system of steam pipes, covered with magnesia, has
been introduced in the old building.
1902. ] NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA. 805
Five new plate-glass and mahogany cases have been placed in
the Museum during the year, one Jarge case for birds and two for
mammals, while Mr. Clarence B. Moore has added two for the
accommodation of the archzological material obtained by him in
northwestern Florida. A number of moth-proof storage cases of
various kinds have been provided for the rapidly increasing study
series of birds, mammals and insects.
The Museum staff was further increased at the beginning of the
year by securing the services of Dr. J. Perey Moore and Mr. C.
W. Johnson as assistants to the Curators. Dr. Moore has taken
charge of the Helminthological collection and has identified and
catalogued all of the material in the Museum. During the sum-
mer, when on leave of absence at Woods Hole, he made valuable
collections in this department for the Academy.
Mr. Johnson, besides the care of the Isaac Lea Collection of
Eocene Mollusca, which he has continued as heretofore, has been
able to rearrange, identify and label the entire series of American
Cretaceous invertebrates. The types identified number upward of
400. The additions to the Lea collection for the year number 730
trays.
In the care and arrangement of the various study collections
important work has been accomplished, the details of which will be
found in the reports of the several sections- -that on the Conchologi-
eal collections by Dr. Pilsbry; the Ornithological by Mr. Stone;
the Botanical by Mr. Stewardson Brown, and the Entomological
by Dr. Skinner.
In the rearrangement of the Museum the most notable work has
been the installation of nearly one-half of the mounted birds in the
cases provided for them in the new building. The specimens have
been carefully examined by the taxidermist and labeled and
arranged by Mr. Stone. Almost all the water-birds and the
greater part of the Gallinaceze have been transferred, and the floor
will be ready for opening in the spring.
Rearrangement of the mounted mammals has been made neces-
sary by the addition of new cases, and the moose and other exposed
specimens have been placed under glass. Several attractive
mounts have been prepared during the year, notably the groups of
Siamangs collected and presented by Mr. Alfred C. Harrison, Jr.,
and Dr. H. M. Hiller.
804 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [Dec.,
The alcoholic material has been examined, and a large number
ot specimens have been catalogued and systematically arranged.
In the Department of Archeology, Mr. Clarence B. Moore has
added many valuable specimens to his collection and has personally
superintended their arrangement and labeling, while Miss H. N.
Wardle has made important progress in cataloguing the Haldeman
collection.
The additions to the collections during the year have been of
importance, as may be seen from the appended list. Most note-
worthy were the valuable series of vertebrates and insects col-
lected in Sumatra by Mr. Alfred C. Harrison, Jr., and Dr. H.
M. Hiller and generously presented by them to the Academy.
Reports on these collections have already been published or pre-
pared for publication, covering the mammals, birds, reptiles and
fishes.
Another important gift was a collection of 2,000 plants from the
western United States received from Mr. Benjamin H. Smith,
while Alfred C. Harrison, Jr., Clarence B. Moore, Samuel F.
Houston, John Carter, Charles H. Cramp, James D. Winsor and
Beulah M. Rhoads, members of the Academy, have secured through
purchase a valuable series of birds from the Galapagos Islands.
From its general fund the Academy has also been enabled to
purchase the Rhoads Collection of North American Mammals, com-
prising some 4,000 skins and skulls which fill an important gap in
the Museum, and places the mammal collection on an excellent
basis.
Many valuable specimens of mammals, birds and reptiles have
been received during the year from the Zoological Society of Phila-
delphia, and Dr. H. C. Chapman has presented a beautifully pre-
pared set of marine invertebrates obtained from the Zoological
Station at Naples.
During the spring Messrs. H. L. Viereck and J. A. G. Rehn
visited southern New Mexico under direction of the Academy, and
secured valuable collections of insects and plants and many verte-
brates. z
The Conservator of the Wiliam S. Vaux Collections, Mr. Theo-
dore D. Rand, regrets that owing to illness he has not been able to
give as much time to his duties as heretofore. With the assistance
of Mr. George Vaux, Jr., such desirable specimens as came to his

notice have been purchased. Among them may be specially
mentioned a specimen of the water-enclosing chalcedony from
Brazil, enclosed in a gangue of igneous rock, and two remarkably
fine crystals of epidote from Prince of Wales Island, Alaska.
Besides the services rendered by the salaried Museum Staff, the
Curators would express their indebtedness to Messrs. Theodore D.
Rand, Lewis Woolman, Philip P. Calvert and Charles Liebeck for
aid in various departments, and to the students of the Jessup Fund,
Messrs. E. G. Vanatta, J. A. G. Rehn, H. L. Viereck and Miss
H. N. Wardle.

CoNCHOLOGICAL SECTION.
The growth of the collection of mollusks during the year has been
satisfactory, although no single large accession has been received.
A list of those giving specimens will be found in connection with
the Additions to the Museum. The chief gifts in point of extent
were the series of Japanese mollusks sent by Mr. Y. Hirase,
Zanzibar species from Sir Charles Eliot, and Carolinian land snails
from Mr. J. H. Ferriss. The greater portion of the material has
been studied and the work on a large part of it is embodied in
papers published in the Proceedings of the Academy.
The completion of the monograph on Bulimulide has rendered
possible the arrangement of that group in the Museum, where two
double table-cases now contain the exhibition series. The work of
identifying and monographing the Urocoptide is in progress. The
Manual of Conchology has been issued during the year, as hitherto.

ENTOMOLOGICAL SECTION,
The Recorder reports that the meetings of the Section, at which
interesting communications were made, have been well attended
during the year. One member and one associate were elected.
The Entomological News, the journal published by the Section, has
been continued, 334 pages and 15 plates having been issued. The
collections have been useful to our own students, and a number of
investigators from other scientific institutions haye visited the
Academy to study them. Over 37,000 specimens have been added
during the year, 25,000 haying been collected by an expedition
sent out by the Academy. Many species new to science have been
described by the members of the Section and a few have been sent
to specialists elsewhere for study and description. The collections
are in a good state of preservation and improved boxes and cabinets
have been added. Additional floor space has been granted and
enclosed by the Academy to provide for the growth of the Section.
At the annual meeting, held December 18, the following were
elected to serve as officers during the year 1903:
Director, . 2 : : ; : Philip Laurent.
Vice-Director, . : : : ; H. W. Wenzel.

BoraNIcaL SECTION,
Accessions to the herbarium fully up to those of former years
are reported. About 6,000 specimens, principally North American,
have been received, the greater number being donations.
The most important of these is a collection of Western American
plants, consisting of 1,925 species and numbering considerably over
2,000 mounted sheets, representing most of the characteristic genera
and a large number of the species of the Rocky Mountain region,
presented by Mr. Benjamin H. Smith, the collection having been
made by him some years ago while living in that district. It com-
prises, besides plants of his own collecting, those of Pringle,
808 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [Dec.,
Suksdorf, Howell and others, many of the sheets being annotated
by the late Dr. Porter, thus adding considerably to their interest
and value. The collection includes a number of species and
several genera not before represented in the herbarium.
A collection of 430 California and Oregon plants, made by Mr.
H. E. Brown, was presented by the Conservator.
A collection of about 800 North American plants was presented
early in the year by Mr. William M. Canby. They represent nearly
all regions from the east coast to the west, including Georgia,
Florida, the Gulf States and part of Mexico. The collection con-
tains a number of recently named species, notably of Crategus, not
already contained in the herbarium.
A collection of about 100 specimens, of similar range of locali-
ties, was presented by Prof. Charles S$. Williamson.
Smaller collections have been presented by Prof. E. A. Garratt,
from British Columbia; by C. F. Saunders, from Vermont, and by
E. G. Vanatta, from Maryland.
An interesting collection of about 130 specimens, made in the
vicinity of Sandwich Bay, Labrador, during the past summer, was
presented by Dr. Amos P. Brown.
A collection of West Indian planis, presented by Dr. John W.
Harshberger, was collected by him in Jamaica, Haiti and Santo
Domingo in 1901.
Messrs. James A. G. Rehn and H. L. Viereck, of the Academy’s
expedition to southwestern Texas and New Mexico, early in the
year, brought back a good series of about 2,000 specimens of the
plants of that region. The collection is particularly rich in the
Cacti, of which most excellent examples were obtained. It adds a
number of desirable forms to the collection, and when thoroughly
studied will probably add several species to science.
The collections purchased by the Academy include about 900
specimens of California plants received from Mr, A. A. Heller,
made by himself and Mr. H. E. Brown during the past season ;
540 West Australian plants from Dr. Pritzel, and about 350
Canary Island plants from Dr. Bornmiller. -
Most of these specimens haye been mounted and consolidated
with the general collection, and the others will be similarly arranged
at as early a date as possible.
The work of arranging the C. W. Short Herbarium has pro-
1902. ] NATURAL SCIENCES OF PHILADELPHIA. 809
gressed satisfactorily during the year, about 15,000 sheets having
been mounted, completing the work through the Secrophulariacez.
These specimens have been incorporated in the general collections,
thus in many instances crowding the cases, so that additional room
is required.
The local herbarium of the Philadelphia Botanical Club has
been enriched by donations from its members aggregating about
500 specimens.
The meetings of the Section, at which a number of communica-
tions of scientific interest have been presented, have been held
‘regularly during the year.
At ihe meeting held December 8, 1902, the following were
elected to serve as officers for the ensuing year:
Director, . i : : : Benjamin H. Smith.
Vice-Director, . : : : Joseph Crawford.
Recorder, . é : : Dr. Ida A. Keller.
Corresponding Secretary, . A John T. Pennypacker.
“Treasurer and Conservator, : Stewardson Brown.
MINERALOGICAL AND GEOLOGICAL SECTION.
The Director reports that nine meetings were held, with an aver-
age attendance of eight members. Six field meetings were held,
at which the attendance was large. Some of the specimens col-
lected were given to the Academy.
The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows:
Director, . ; : é : Theodore D. Rand.
Vice-Director, . , : : Benjamin Smith Lyman.
Treasurer, , : : : Emma Walter.
Conservator, . : : : F. J. Keeley.
Recorder, . : F : ; Charles Schiffer, M.D.
ORNITHOLOGICAL SECTION.
During the past year the Conservator has completed the arrange-
ment of the mounted birds on the new ornithological floor, so far
as the case-room will permit. The four large cases and three small
ones now in place cover about 900 square feet of floor space and
accommodate almost all of the water-birds and the majority of
810 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF [Dec.,
the Gallinacexe, or approximately half of the mounted collection, so
far as space occupied is concerned.
The specimens transferred during the year haye all been labelled
and have been carefully examined by the taxidermist, while the
entire series has been rearranged to bring it into systematic
sequence.
Several old horizontal cases haye been renovated and placed on
the ornithological floor for the accommodation of a special collec-
tion, prepared for exhibition by the Conservator, illustrating the
structure and molt of birds.
The opening of this department to the public, unavoidably post-
poned, will take place early in the coming year.
Two additional large wooden storage cases and sixieen tin cases
were provided for the accommodation of the rapidly increasing
study collection of skins, and much important work has been
accomplished in transferring the specimens to the new cases and in
properly labelling the trays to aid in their examination. For this,
as well as aid in cataloguing the collection, the Conservator“is
much indebted to Mr. J. A. G. Rehn.
Several valuable additions have been made to the collection of
birds during the year, notably the beautiful series of specimens
from Sumatra, collected and presented by Mr. Alfred C. Harri-
son, Jr., and Dr. H. M. Hiller, containing many forms new to
the collection.
A collection of the birds of the Galapagos Islands was pur-
chased through subscriptions by members of the Academy. This
material fills an important gap in our collection, as the Academy
previously possessed no specimens from this region. An interesting
series of New Mexican birds was collected by Mr. Rehn while on
the expedition sent out by the Academy in the spring, and many
other specimens were received through gift or purchase.
The Delaware Valley Ornithological Club and the Pennsylvania
Audubon Society have coutinued to hold their meetings in the
Academy, and have done much to stimulate ornithological study.
By invitation the American Ornithologists’ Union has arranged to
hold its twenty-first Congress at the Academy in November, 1903.
Many visiting ornithologists have made use of the collections
duriig the year, and considerable aid has been given to workers in
other institutions.
