REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION C.G, ABBOT FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1933 To the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution. GENTLEMEN: I have the honor to submit herewith my report showing the activities and condition of the Smithsonian Institution and the Government bureaus under its administrative charge during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1933. In part 1 the first 11 pages contain a summary account of the affairs of the Institution, and appendixes 1 to 10 give more detailed reports of the operations of the National Gallery of Art, the Freer Gallery of Art, the Bureau of American Hthnology, the International Exchanges, the National Zoological Park, the Astrophysical Observatory, the Division of Radiation and Organisms, the United States Regional Bureau of the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature, the Smithsonian Library, and of the publications issued under the direction of the Institution; part 2 contains the report of the United States National Museum, hitherto a separate document. On page 188 is the financial report of the executive committee of the Board of Regents, hitherto a separate document. PART 1. REPORT ON THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION AND ALL THE BUREAUS UNDER ITS DIRECTION EX- CEPT THE NATIONAL MUSEUM SUMMARY OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITIES Outstanding events —Mr. Eldridge R. Johnson placed his yacht and a considerable sum of money at the disposal of the Institution for the first of a series of scientific cruises in the interests of oceanography. The first cruise, covering the Puerto Rican deep, returned in March 1933, with highly gratifying results, which will later be described in Smithsonian publications. Tne Gellatly collection of art objects, valued at $4,000,000, given to the Institution by John Gellatly, was safely transferred from New York to Washington and is now on public exhibition in the National Gallery of Art. Through the generous aid of Mr. John A. Roebling, a new astrophysical observing 1 2 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 station is being equipped on Mount St. Katherine, Sinai Peninsula. Among the year’s publications were several of special interest from the plant researches of the Division of Radiation and Organisms, and the first of the new series, Oriental Studies, issued by the Freer Gallery of Art, entitled *‘The Story of Kalaka”’, by W. Norman Brown. National Museum.—Available appropriations for the past year totaled $701,456, or $133,634 less than for the previous year. Addi- tions to the collections numbered 348,012 specimens. IJmportant anthropological material came from Philippine and South American Indian tribes and from village sites in Alaska, Texas, Virginia, and Puerto Rico. Noteworthy biological material received consisted of mammals from Siam, Java, and British Columbia; birds from Alaska, Siam, and the southwestern United States; reptiles and amphibians from the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers and from Puerto Rico and French Indo China; fishes, mollusks, and marine invertebrates collected on the Johnson-Smithsonian and Hancock expeditions; the Owen collection of Lepidoptera (about 40,600 specimens); and 3,600 plants from the historic Mutis Herbarium. In geology many valuable examples of minerals, gems, ores, and meteorites were received, and representative lots of fossil plants and animals, including the most perfect bird skeleton yet collected from the Oligocene of North America. The industrial collections were augmented by many generous gifts from commercial firms and individuals, and many objects of historic interest were received. The number of visitors for the year totaled 1,427,358. National Gallery of Art—Dr. William H. Holmes, director of the Gallery since its creation as a separate unit of the Institution in 1920, was retired on June 30, 1932, and his death occurred on April 20, 1933. During the year the Gallery has been under the direction of Ruel P. Tolman, acting director. Eatly in the year, a large part of the Gallery was occupied by exhibits of the National Society of Mural Painters, the National Sculpture Society, and the alumni of the American Academy in Rome, in connection with the George Wash- ington Bicentennial celebration. An exhibition of paintings of Gaucho life in Argentina, by Sefor Don Cesareo Bernaldo de Quiros, was held from January 13 to March 13, 1933. The Gellatly collection was transferred from New York and installed in the Gallery, a special opening view being held on June 22, 1933. A number of art works were accessioned by the Institution subject to transfer to tae Gallery if approved by the National Gallery of Art Commission. Freer Gallery of Art——Additions to the collection include a Chinese bronze vessel from the Chou dynasty; Chinese pottery, porcelain, and jades; Japanese, Persian, and Arabic illuminated manuscripts; and Japanese, Persian, and Arabic paintings. Curatorial work has been REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 3 devoted to the critical study of Armenian, Chinese, and Japanese texts associated with acquisitions, and to the translation of Arabic and Persian manuscript texts. Visitors totaled 120,732. The gallery issued ‘‘The Story of Kalaka’”’, by W. Norman Brown, the first volume in its series of Oriental Studies. In spite of disturbed conditions in China, the field staff of the Gallery conducted archeo- logical explorations throughout a large part of Shansi Province. Bureau of American Ethnology —The Bureau continued.its studies of the American Indians, the members of its staff being occupied both in field work and in preparing for publication the results of their investigations. Attention was given particularly to the ethnology of the southeastern Indians, the Cheyenne and Arapaho of the West, the Foxes of lowa, the Indians of southern California, and the Iroquois of New York State and Canada, and to archeological investigations in Arizona, in Nebraska, and in the mound area of the Mississippi Valley. In the study of Indian music many songs were recorded among the tribes in the Gulf States. International exchanges.—The number of packages handled during the year, in the official exchange with other countries of parliamentary and departmental documents and scientific and literary publications, was 720,209, with a total weight of 634,707 pounds. National Zoological Park.—A total of 1,330 animals were added during the year, and 1,136 were removed through various causes, bringing the collection on June 30, 1933, to 2,496 animals. The attendance was 2,463,350, including classes from 628 different schools in various parts of the country. Although no new construction of buildings was undertaken, a number of needed improvements were completed, including the laying of a larger water main from the Connecticut Avenue main, providing a more adequate supply of water to the west side of the park and greater fire protection. Astrophysical Observatory.—Progress was made on the dependence of terrestrial temperature departures on the variation of the sun; studies were begun on the dependence of terrestrial temperature departures on the ozone content of the atmosphere; and solar-radiation observations were continued at Table Mountain, Calif., and Monte- zuma, Chile. Financed by Mr. John A. Roebling, a new observing station is being equipped on Mount St. Katherine, near Mount Sinai in Egypt, under the charge of Harlan H. Zodtner, assisted by Frederick A. Greeley. A new radiation-measuring instrument, called the kampometer, has been devised by Dr. Abbot and used with success in preliminary measurements of the extreme infrared solar spectrum. Division of Radiation and Organisms.— In March 1933 the Secretary undertook the general charge of the division, succeeding the former director, Dr. F. S. Brackett, who continued with the division on a part-time basis as consulting physicist. Dr. E. S. Johnston was 4 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 appointed assistant director. During the year the following lines of study have been pursued by the scientific staff of the division: The growth of wheat under measured concentrations of water vapor and carbonic acid with fixed temperature and illuminated by measured quantities of light from helium discharge tubes; the improvement in methods of producing substantially monochromatic light of any desired wave length for use in plant growth experiments; the propa- gation of unicellular algae under 12 different varieties of light; the growth of wheat under outdoor conditions with different concentra- tions of carbon dioxide; and investigations with the quartz and the rock salt spectrographs of the absorption energy spectra of organic substances including the extreme infrared spectrum. International Catalogue of Scientific Literature—The work of the United States Bureau in recording current scientific literature of this country was continued, so that the necessary data may be avail- able for indexing when it is found possible to resume publication of the catalogue. Efforts to refinance the organization were unsuccess- ful, and as Congress failed to provide funds for the continuation of the United States Bureau, work was suspended at the close of the fiscal year. It is hoped, however, that the enterprise may eventually be resumed, as there is nothing to take its place in providing not only an index, but also a condensed digest, of the world’s scientific literature. THE ESTABLISHMENT The Smithsonian Institution was created by act of Congress in 1846, according to the terms of the will of James Smithson, of England, who in 1826 bequeathed his property to the United States of America “to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti- tution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.” In receiving the property and accepting the trust, Congress determined that the Federal Government was without authority to administer the trust directly and, therefore, constituted an ‘‘establishment’’ whose statutory members are “‘the President, the Vice President, the Chief Justice, and the heads of the executive departments.”’ THE BOARD OF REGENTS The affairs of the Institution are administered by a Board of Regents whose membership consists of ‘‘the Vice President, the Chief Justice, three Members of the Senate, and three Members of the House of Representatives, together with six other persons other than Members of Congress, two of whom shall be resident in the city of Washington and the other four shall be inhabitants of some State, but no two of them of the same State.’’ One of the regents is elected chancellor of the board. In the past the selection has fallen upon the Vice President or the Chief Justice, and a suitable person is chosen REPORT OF THE SECRETARY : 5 by the regents as Secretary of the Institution, who is also secretary of the Board of Regents, and the executive officer directly in charge of the Institution’s activities. A number of changes in the personnel of the Board occurred during the year. The Hon. John N. Garner, as Vice President, became on March 4, 1933, a regent of the Institution ex officio. On May 31, 1933, Senator M. M. Logan, of Kentucky, was appointed a regent to succeed Senator Reed Smoot, whose term as a Senator expired March 3, 1933, and on May 31, 1933, also, Senator David A. Reed, of Penn- sylvania, was appointed a regent to succeed Senator Claude A. Swanson, of Virginia, on the latter’s resignation from the Senate. On March 27, 1933, the Speaker appointed Representative Charles L. Gifford,® of WWiAteneioen a regent to succeed Representative Albert eneeon of Washington. The roll of regents at the close of the year was as follows: Charles Evans Hughes, Chief Justice of the United States, Chancellor; John N. Garner, Vice President of the United States; members from the Senate—Joseph T. Robinson, M. M. Logan, David A. Reed; mem- bers from the House of Representatives—T. Alan Goldsborough, Edward H. Crump, Charles L. Gifford; citizen members—Irwin B. Laughlin, Pennsylvania; Frederic A. Delano, Washington, D.C.; John C. Merriam, Washington, D.C.; R. Walton Moore, Virginia; Robert W. Bingham, Kentucky; Augustus P. Loring, Massachusetts. Proceedings.— Only one meeting of the Board was held during the year—the annual meeting on December 8, 1932. The regents present were Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, Chancellor, Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Senator Claude A. Swanson, Representative T. Alan Goldsborough, Representative Edward H. Crump, Mr. Frederic A. Delano, Dr. John C. Merriam, Hon. R. Walton Moore, and the 2 seradays Dr. Charles G. ishing The Secretary announced the changes in the personnel a the Board, noted above, and stated that Mr. Moore had been given an ad sagan appointment as a member of the executive committee, which the Board, by resolution, made permanent. The Secretary then presented his annual report, calling particular attention to the publications issued by the Institution during the year. Mr. Delano presented the report of the executive committee, a com- pilation of the financial statistics of the Institution, and the Secretary then submitted the annual report of the National Gallery of Art Commission. The Secretary presented a special report, reviewing the oustanding events of the year, following which Dr. Wetmore, Assistant Secretary, gave an account of recent exploring and collecting expeditions of the National Museum. 6 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 The Board adopted a resolution recording its appreciation of the bequest to the Institution of $100,000 received through the will of the late Hon. Dwight W. Morrow. The meeting then adjourned, and the regents viewed the special exhibit in the Secretary’s office illus- trating various phases of the Institution’s activities. FINANCES A statement will be found in the report of the executive committee, page 188. MATTERS OF GENERAL INTEREST JOHNSON-SMITHSONIAN DEEP-SEA EXPEDITION One of the most extensive programs of oceanographic investigation ever entered into by the Institution was initiated during the year under the name ‘“Johnson-Smithsonian Deep-Sea Expedition.” Mr. Eldridge R. Johnson, of Philadelphia, offered the use of his yacht Caroline, to be completely equipped at his expense with the most modern devices for oceanographic work. It is expected to make cruises in several following years. The work is under the direc- tion of Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of the division of mollusks in the National Museum, and the personnel of the first cruise included T. T. Brown, Naval Research Laboratory, physicist; E. W. Price, Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agricul- ture, zoologist; Charles Weber, student at George Washington Univer- sity, assistant zoologist; Elie Cheverlange, artist; G. R. Goergens, United States Department of Agriculture, photographer; and A. W. Wilding, Bureau of American Ethnology, secretary. The Institution was materially assisted in preparation for the cruise by the Navy Department, the Department of Agriculture, the Carnegie Institution of Washington, George Washington University, the Zoological Society and the Oceanographic Institution of Woods Hole. The first cruise began at New York, January 21, 1933, and ended at the navy yard dock in Washington, March 14, most of the nearly two months being spent in exploring the Puerto Rican deep. The results of the cruise came fully up to expectations. Dr. Bartsch reports that the work was concentrated upon the rim of the deep and that marvelous catches were made, representing all the various groups of marine organisms from vertebrates down to protozoa, as well as aquatic plants. About four truckloads of specimens were carried to the museum. In addition to actual specimens gathered, three lines of soundings, 235 miles long, were made through the long axis of the deep 20 miles apart with a sounding station at every 5-mile interval. Some of the former depths reported were slightly in excess of those which the Caroline obtained in the same location. It is possible that the dis- REPORT OF THE SECRETARY i, crepancy may be due to the bending and deflecting of the wire for- merly used in sounding. All the work in this direction was accom- plished by means of the echo sounding device installed through the courtesy of the Navy Department. In using the sonic sounding machine a vibrant note is sent out by an oscillator, which, upon reaching the bottom, is reflected therefrom and caught by micro- phones installed on the ship and then carried to the observer. The interval between sending out the note and the arrival of the echo gives data easily translated into the desired depth. By this means it is easy within a limited number of seconds to determine even the ereatest depth found, which was 4,400 fathoms, that is, about 5 miles. ‘Then, also, the expedition gathered samples of water from various depths and temperature readings by thermometers specially designed for the purpose. Dr. Bartsch states that ‘‘ this expedition has been the finest in which J have had the opportunity to take part. Mr. Johnson and his son and the invited guests, Mr. Douglass and family, the members of the staff, and every individual from the captain to the cabin stewards did everything in their power to help and thus bent each moment to a purpose. Aside from the splendid surroundings in which the work was done, their esprit de corps made the expedition a memorable one. It will take weeks before all of the elements will have been separated into the component groups, after which they will be turned over to specialists for report. Mr. Johnson deserves great credit for spon- soring this enterprise.” The preliminary results of this first cruise, particularly the descrip- tions of the many new forms found, are now being written up and will be published in the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections. REMOVAL OF GHELLATLY COLLECTION TO WASHINGTON Four years after its presentation to the American. people through the Smithsonian Institution, the Gellatly collection of paintings and art objects was transferred from New York to Washington on April 30, 1933, and opened to the public in the National Gallery of Art on June 23. Ralph Seymour, curator of the collection for many years _ while it was in the possession of Mr. Gellatly, came to Washington to assist in its unpacking, classification, and preparation for exhibition. The assembling of this collection, valued at more than $4,000,000, formed the lifework of Mr. John Gellatly. It comprises more than 1,600 separate pieces, including 145 American paintings in oil, water color, and pastel; a notable collection of paintings by European masters; and many interesting and valuable examples of various types of art objects, including ancient glass, jewelry, period furniture, sculpture, and tapestries. 8 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 MARTIN GUSTAV AND CAROLINE RUNICH HANSON FUND On March 13, 1933, Dr. Adolph M. Hanson, of Faribault, Minn., | executed a legal assignment to the Smithsonian Institution of all royalties accruing to him under a patent on his discovery, the isolation of the parathyroid hormone (extract of parathyroid gland and process. of preparing the same). In making this offer, Dr. Hanson, a lieu- tenant colonel in the Medical Reserve Corps, United States Army, stated that he wished the gift to appear as a memorial to his father, Martin Gustay Hanson, and his mother, Caroline Runice Hanson, and that he wished the income to be applied ‘‘to some scientific purpose, preferably in chemistry or medicine.”’ He added, ‘‘I hope that my example may serve as an inspiration for others in the future and add to the interest in our National Institution.” The Institution accepted the gift, and already considerable sums have been received from royalties. These will be applied to the scientific work of the Institution, giving preference wherever practi- cable to researches in chemistry or medicine, in accordance with the wishes of the donor. SECOND ARTHUR LECTURE In 1931 a bequest was received from James Arthur for the promo- tion of a series of lectures at the Institution dealing with various aspects of the relation of the sun to the planets, the stars, the weather, and human life. The second Arthur lecture was delivered by Dr. Ernest William Brown, professor of mathematics at Yale University, on January 25, 1933, under the title ‘‘ Gravitation in the Solar System.” The lecture will appear later in one of the Institution’s series of publications. WALTER RATHBONE BACON TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIP Mr. Alan Mozley, of the department of zoology of Johns Hopkins University, was awarded the Walter Rathbone Bacon scholarship for 1932 and 1933, and later this award was extended to cover 1934 also. Mr. Mozley is pursuing a faunistic study of the Siberian nonmarine mollusks. Regarding the importance of this work, Mr. Mozley says: “The study of this problem is especially important, since in the ° sub-Arctic we have the unique opportunity of investigating a fauna in the making. The whole of this region has only recently become - habitable for mollusks, so that we are dealing, as it were, with an experiment in zoogeography, and there is an absolutely unparalleled opportunity for studying geographic distribution without the host of unknown geologic and geographic factors which often result in specu- lations which belong more in the realm of nature study or natural mythology than in science.” At the close of the year Mr. Mozley was still engaged in field work in Siberia. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 9 SMITHSONIAN EXHIBIT AT THE CENTURY OF PROGRESS EXPOSITION, CHICAGO The general theme of the Federal exhibits at the Century of Progress Exposition was the portrayal of the contributions made by govern- mental agencies toward the advancement of science and the progress of civilization during the past 100 years. To be in unison with this theme the exhibit of the Smithsonian Institution was made up of two parts; first, a brief pictorial account of the Institution’s founding and of some of its outstanding achievements in the past, and second, a representation with original material of some of the current activities of the Institution and its seven branches. The first or pictorial part of the exhibit consists of nine oil paintings, 40 by 30 inches in size. The first of these entitled ‘‘ President Jackson Notifies Congress of the Smithsonian Bequest, December 17, 1835” shows President Jackson sitting at his desk in the White House in the act of writing a letter while his secretary and nephew, Andrew Jackson Donelson, stands in the background waiting to receive the missive. The second shows the building of the Smithsonian Institution as completed in 1851, and the third is an air view of the portion of the Mall in Washington containing the original buildings and the four additional ones composing the Smithsonian group today. The six remaining paintings, arranged chronologically, depict a few of the many activities undertaken ‘‘for the increase and diffusion of knowl- edge among men.”’ The titles of these are: ‘‘ Professor Henry Posts Daily Weather Map in the Smithsonian, 1858”, ‘‘Major Powell Descends the Colorado River Through the Grand Canyon, 1869”’, “Secretary Langley Tries Out Aerodrome No. 5, 1895”’, “‘ President Roosevelt Leads Smithsonian African Expedition, 1909-10”’, ‘“‘Astro- physical Observatory Established at Montezuma, Chile, 1918”’, ‘‘ Divi- sion of Radiation and Organisms Established, 1929.” The second part of the exhibit on the Institution’s current activities includes seven exhibition cases, an exhibit booth, and an automatic lantern slide projector, distributed over the floor. Five of the exhibi- tion cases contain a group of original specimens indicative of some current research work in biology, geology, anthropology, ethnology, and radiation. The biology exhibit, for example, tells the story of the progressive experiments in evolution with the land mollusk, Cerion, begun in 1912, while the exhibit on anthropology, consisting of carved ivory artifacts, gives an indication of current archeological investiga- tions of the prehistoric Eskimo cultures of northern Alaska and around Bering Strait. The sixth case indicates very briefly the scope of the National Gallery of Art, and the seventh represents the National Zoological Park. For this latter exhibit the interior of the case was modeled to represent a desert with real sand floor, growing cactuses, 16528—33—2 10 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 and a painted scenic background, and during the whole period of the fair a large variety of live lizards is to be displayed. The exhibition booth contains three separate exhibits as follows: Part of the apparatus used in the Division of Radiation and Organisms in researches on plant growth; a light spectrum with filters to screen different rays such as are used in radiation researches; a group of fluorescent minerals subjected to ultraviolet light with their resultant beautiful coloring. Lastly, the automatic lantern slide projector with two series of 70 lantern slides, changed twice a week, reveals present- day scenes in the many workrooms and laboratories of the Institution. GRANTS Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory—A grant of $500 from the Hodgkins fund was made to the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory of Harvard University for the purchase of solar radiation instruments, balloons, and hydrogen for use in making a continuous daily record of solar and sky radiation at Blue Hill Observatory. This research, in charge of Dr. Charles F. Brooks, director of the observatory, was undertaken in connection with the International Polar Year. Davis and Elkins College.—Two researches under way in the depart- ment of chemistry of Davis and Elkins College were aided by a grant of $100 for the purchase of equipment. Under the direction of Prof. R. B. Purdum, it was proposed to investigate (1) the solubility of lead sulphate in the presence of sodium sulphate and other electrolytes, and (2) the solubility of benzidine sulphate and of benzidine hydro- chloride in various solvents. d Barro Colorado Island Biological Laboratory.—The Institution con- tinued its annual subscription of $300 for a table at the Barro Colorado Laboratory. This laboratory offers unusually favorable opportunity for studies of the fauna and flora of tropical America, and its facilities are used by members of the Institution’s staff or associates. EXPLORATIONS AND FIELD WORK In addition to the Johnson-Smithsonian Deep-Sea Hxpedition already described, the Institution sent out or took part in 24 expedi- tions to gather specimens and data essential to the scientific investi- gations in progress. Smithsonian field parties worked not only in an unusually large number of States of the United States—29—but also in Alaska, Canada, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Yucatan, Panama, Ecuador, and Siam. All these expeditions are briefly described in the illustrated pamphlet entitled ‘Explorations and Field Work of the Smithsonian Institution During 1932’, Smithsonian publication no. 3213, but to illustrate the aim of Smithsonian field expeditions In Alaska Dr. Ales Hrdliéka carried I may here mention one or two. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 1 on anthropological and archeological research on Kodiak Island, excavating sites at Uyak Bay, Chief’s Point, and other localities, making an archeological survey of the whole island, and taking measurements and photographs of the few remaining fullbloods on the island; and James A. Ford conducted archeological work in the vicinity of Barrow, furnishing a basis for a cultural chronology of the north Alaska coast. In the West Indies, where in recent years the Institution has centered intensive anthropological and biological researches, H. W. Krieger visited Cuba with a view to determining the northern and southern affihations of early Cuban cultures, and Gerrit 8. Miller, Jr., searched in the caves of Puerto Rico for evidence that some of the members of the ancient fauna of the Antillean Islands continued to exist until the time when the Indians made their settlements. PUBLICATIONS The Institution’s various series of publications constitute’ the chief means of carrying out one half of its stated purpose, ‘‘the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men.” Since the reorganization of the editorial department 2 years ago, all the series—Smithsonian proper, National Museum, Bureau of American Ethnology, Astro- physical Observatory, and Freer Gallery of Art—have been issued from one central office under:the general supervision of the editor of the Smithsonian Institution, with the joint aims of greater accuracy and promptness, more uniformity in editorial style, and greater efficiency in administration. During the year 100 volumes and pamphlets were published, 43 by the Institution proper, 48 by the National Museum, 8 by the Bureau of American Ethnology, and 1 by the Freer Gallery of Art. Details regarding these publications will be found in the report of the editor, appendix 10. The number of publications distributed was 177,572. LIBRARY The Smithsonian library accessioned during the year 6,319 volumes and 4,625 pamphlets and charts, most of them coming as exchanges for Smithsonian publications, although, as usual, many gifts also were received. In addition to the routine work of the staff, consider- able progress was made on the union catalog, the order department of the library was reorganized, the file of exchange relations showed marked progress, and a start was made on the dictionary index to all publications of the Institution and its branches.

APPENDIX 1 REPORT ON THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART Str: I have the honor to submit the following report on the activities of the National Gallery of Art for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1933. The retirement on June 30, 1932, of Dr. Wiliam H. Holmes, director of the gallery since its creation as a separate unit under the Institution in 1920, was a severe loss and his place will be difficult to fill. His retirement came through an act of Congress which separated from the Government service many others of the retire- ment age. His death occurred on April 20, 1933, at Royal Oak, Mich. On July 1, 1982, a large percentage of the gallery space was occu- pied by exhibits of the National Society of Mural Painters, the National Sculpture Society and by the alumni of the American Academy in Rome, in connection with the George Washington Bicentennial Celebration; they continued officially until Thanks- giving Day, but were extended a few weeks. The removal of the statuary and the American Academy in Rome exhibits made possible the installation of a part of the permanent collections. Certain partitions which the Mural Painters had removed were not replaced and reduced the wall space, already much too small, by about 180 running feet. Early in January the large mural paintings were taken down. The large central gallery was then used for the special exhibition of 29 colorful paintings of Gaucho life of the Argentine by Sefior Don Cesareo Bernaldo de Quiros. It was spomsored by the Argentine Ambassador, Sefior Dr. Felipe A. Espil, and the opening on Friday afternoon, January 13, was attended by many notables headed by Mrs. Herbert Hoover. It continued through March 12, 1933, and, judg- ing by the attendance, it was a great success. Later in the spring the Gellatly collection was removed from New York, arriving in Washington May 1. The private opening was held on the evening of June 22, and the collection was thrown open to the public on June 23. APPROPRIATIONS For the administration of the National Gallery of Art, including compensation of necessary employees, purchase of books of reference and periodicals, traveling expenses, uniforms for guards, and neces- sary incidental expenses, $38,220 was appropriated. This was 13 14 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 $7,180 less than the preceding year, and the amount was further reduced by $1,260 through the impounding of the salary of one laborer, who was retired. Some $16,500 of this appropriation goes for the upkeep of the Freer Gallery of Art. THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART COMMISSION The twelfth annual meeting of the National Gallery of Art Com- mission was held at the Smithsonian Institution on December 6, 1932. The members present were Dr. Charles G. Abbot, ex officio, Herbert Adams, Charles L. Borie, Jr., James E. Fraser, Joseph H. Gest, John E. Lodge, Paul Manship, George B. McClellan, Charles Moore, and Edward W. Redfield. Ruel P. Tolman, curator of the division of graphic arts, and acting director of the National Gallery of Art, was also present. Owing to the death of Mr. Gari Melchers, chairman, Mr. Gest was elected temporary chairman, and Dr. Abbot was made temporary secretary in the absence of Dr. W. H. Holmes. Resolutions upon the death of Mr. Parmelee, Mr. French, and Mr. Bixby were adopted. The death of Mr. Gari Melchers, chairman of the Commission, on November 30, 1932, was announced. The temporary chairman appointed Mr. Moore, Mr. Lodge, and Dr. Abbot as a committee to draft suitable resolu- tions. The resignation of Mr. Herbert L. Pratt was accepted with regret, making three vacancies in the membership, and it was resolved that the National Gallery of Art Commission recommend to the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution the election to membership on the Commission of Mr. Andrew W. Mellon, Mr. Frederick P. Keppel, and Mr. Gifford Beal. The Commission also. recommended to the Board of Regents the reelection for the succeeding term of 4 years of the following members: Messrs. JohngE. Lodge, E. W. Redfield, and Paul Man- ship. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Mr. Joseph H. Gest, chairman; Mr. Frank Jewett Mather, Jr., vice chairman (reelected), and Dr. Charles G. Abbot, secretary. The following were elected members of the executive committee for the ensuing year: Messrs. Charles Moore, Herbert Adams, and George B. McClellan. Mr. Joseph H. Gest, as chairman of the Commission, and Dr. Charles.G. Abbot, as secretary of the Com- mission, are ex-officio members. The subject of stained glass was discussed, and Mr. Charles L. Borie, Jr., was appointed chairman of a,new committee on stained glass, to report at the next meeting. The Commission, acting as the advisory committee, accepted the full-length portrait of John Gellatly, by Irving R. Wiles, N.A., and the portrait of William H. Holmes, by E. Hodgson Smart. Dr. Moore called attention to the fact that Dr. W. H. Holmes had retired on June 30, 1932, REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 15 and suggested that a written expression of appreciation of his long and faithful service to the National Gallery of Art and its Com- mission be recorded. THE JOHN GELLATLY ART COLLECTION The John Gellatly collection of paintings, carvings, jewelry, enamels, glass, statues, and miscellaneous art objects, offered early in 1929, and accepted June 13 of that year, was transferred from New York City to the National Gallery of Art, May 1, 1933. Its installation was begun immediately and the collection was thrown open to the public on June 23, 1933. The collection consists of over 1,600 specimens. ‘The fixtures, pedestals, and cases, are also a part of the erft. This collection fills 1 large gallery and 2 smaller galleries adjoining. Mr. Gellatly was catholic in his taste and collected many rare and beautiful specimens of the work of the goldsmiths, the ivory carvers, the makers of statues in wood, bronze, marble, silver, and gold; ancient glass from many countries; fifteenth and sixteenth century stained glass; furniture, and paintings. There are 142 American pictures, of which 104 are oils, 22 water colors, 12 pastels, and 4 in miscellaneous mediums such as silverpoint, pencil, and charcoal. Five American artists are represented by 84 examples: T. W. Dewing (17), Abbott H. Thayer (23), Childe Has- sam (15), J. H. Twachtman (12), Albert P. Ryder (17). Other Amer- ican artists who are represented by more than one picture are: Henry Golden Dearth (2), John La Farge (8), J. A. McN. Whistler (2), John Singer Sargent (2), Irving R. Wiles (2), Max Bohm (38), Gari Melchers (8), John Noble (2), Lucia Fairchild Fuller (2 miniatures), J.J. Shannon (2), F. S. Church (7). A few of the American painters represented by but one painting are: John Singleton Copley, Frank W. Benson, Frank Duveneck, George De Forest Brush, Edward G. Malbone (miniature), Robert Reid, George Fuller, Paul Dougherty, R. A. Blakelock, George Inness. In all, there are 44 American artists. Kuropean paintings are very poorly represented, there being only 22 paintings by 19 artists, 7 of whom are unknown. On the walls of the large gallery are shown exactly 100 American oil paintings, while around the walls and the floor space are cases con- taining glass, jewels, oriental specimens, enamels; ancient and modern sculpture in wax, silver, wood and terra cotta; antique furniture, chairs, settees, tables, and much other valuable and interesting material. A second gallery is filled to overflowing with a great variety of material from Europe and Asia, tapestries, textiles, furniture, rare stained glass, religious crucifixes and charms, sculpture in wood, terra cotta, ivory, jade, emerald, bronze, and marble. Unique items 16 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 among these are: The Christian necklace of the sixth century consist- ing of 15 golden disks inlaid with glass mosaic, each disk portraying one of the twelve disciples with the name inscribed in Greek, the central disk being reserved for the Christ and the two end ones each bearing the Constantinean cross; and an emerald cup, a marvel of size and workmanship. There are many objects of unusual interest and value, also paintings, European and oriental. Ina fd gallery are displayed 36 water colors, pastels, and draw- ings by American artists, and 16 fragments of Chinese frescoes from Turfan; 1 bronze and 1 terra cotta by Augustus St. Gaudens; marble by George Grey Barnard, and miscellaneous furniture, a grandfather clock, a desk, a harp, tables, chairs, ete. One large model of a seventeenth century warship will be found surrounded by many other objects not listed here. One important painting, a 15- foot circular decoration called ‘‘Dawn”, by T. W. Dewing, which had been rolled for 19 years, was mounted and hung in the rotunda. The Gellatly collection is undoubtedly the most important gift to the National Gallery since the Freer collection was received. It has great variety and in itself is an art museum.

The work that was carried out in this manner was of a character which had been much needed to improve the appearance of the Park, for the convenience of the public and to facilitate proper care of the animals, but which had been delayed owing to shortage of funds. The outstanding major improvement of the year was the laying of an 8-inch water main from the Connecticut Avenue main to the end of the 6-inch main near the Japanese deer, the laying of a 3-inch main from the 8-inch line to the great flight cage, and the laying of a 2%- inch main to the bear yards. This installation provides the entire REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 45 west side of the Park with an adequate supply of water under good pressure and lessens the use through the 6-inch Harvard Street main to such an extent that the pressure and volume on the east side of the Park is better than before. This also provides excellent fire protection and the installation should prove adequate for all future developments within the Park. Thirteen thousand two hundred and fifty linear feet of concrete curb was laid on both sides of 6,625 linear feet of walks, and the walks resurfaced with 53,000 square feet of bitulithic paving, laid hot. One of the buffalo yards that had seriously eroded was regraded, and three low rock walls were laid to produce a terrace effect and pre- vent further wash. New fences were constructed around both the buffalo and elk paddocks. A bank immediately west of the bird house which had been left in an unfinished state from previous construction work was partially cut away. When this work is finally finished, additional cages will be constructed on the site. The earth from the cutting was used to make needed fills about the Park. In those portions of the Park adjacent to roads and walks and most frequented by the public, dead trees likely to fall and endanger life and property were cut down or the menacing portions removed, and. the grounds were extensively cleaned. Fifty-one cords of wood were gathered and turned over to the municipal wood yard in connection with the cleaning of the grounds. The wood was used by the District committee on employment for the relief of destitute people of the city. In addition to the crews working under the immediate supervision of the Park, the municipal wood yard asssigned a foreman and crew to do certain cutting of trees and cleaning of the grounds, in order that they might obtain the wood more rapidly than it was possible for the Park to supply it. In this manner 127 cords were obtained in addition to that turned over to them by the Park from crews operating under its own foreman. Oak, maple, beach, elm, and other valuable shade trees have been planted in the buffalo yard, the elk yard, near the office, near the bird house, and other locations. Many banks that had eroded were repaired and sodded with honeysuckle or myrtle, and other minor planting work was carried on, including certain plantings adjacent to the reptile house. A screen of shrubbery has been planted near the office to hide an unattractive service area. Much more extensive painting of a maintenance character was carried out than has heretofore been possible, owing to the plentiful supply of labor for cleaning surfaces preparatory to painting. Such painting work included the outside of the lion house and exterior cages, the cages outside the monkey house, and the bear yards. Also, about 400 park benches were repaired and painted. 46 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN: INSTITUTION, 1933 No new construction has been attempted with the exception of the: wiring of three cages that had been started in the previous fiscal year and left unfinished and the construction of 20 small cages for the bird house. These are to house a collection of the smaller cage birds. The blueprints, tracings, and maps of the Park had outgrown the original system of filing and were suffering seriously from lack of proper care. With the use of labor supplied by the Work Planning and Job Assignment Committee, they were sorted, classified, and filed. No satisfactory map of the Park has been available for several years,. and the developments of recent years have emphasized the need for a good map. The preparation of a topographic map on the scale of 50: feet to the inch has been undertaken by using the 1906 topographic base of this scale and bringing it up to date by inserting thereon the changes in topography and structures that have come about since the map was prepared. . : NEEDS OF THE ZOO I wish again to call attention to the inadequate police force and to the need for suitable buildings. Respectfully submitted. Dr. C. G. ABBOT, Secretary, Smithsonian Institution. W. M. Mann, Director. APPENDIX 6 REPORT ON THE ASTROPHYSICAL OBSERVATORY Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report on the activ- ities of the Astrophysical Observatory for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1933: PLANT AND OBJECTS This observatory operates regularly the central station at Wash- ington and two field stations for observing solar radiation on Table Mountain, Calif., and Mount Montezuma, Chile. The observatory controls a station on Mount Wilson, Calif., where occasional expedi- tions are sent for special investigations, one of which is mentioned below. The observatory is continuing the measurements of the solar con- stant of radiation referred to in former reports and forming the principal theme of volumes II, III, IV, and V of its annals. WORK IN WASHINGTON With the publication of volume V of the annals there was available a long series of solar-constant measurements adapted for study of the variation of the sun and the dependence of terrestrial temperatures thereon. Seven regular periodicities were discovered in the variation of the sun, having intervals of approximately 7, 8, 11, 21, 25, 45, and 68 months. The observations reported in volume V of the annals closed with the year 1930. A revision of the periodicities based upon observations from 1924 to 1932 was undertaken by Dr. Abbot. The periodic terms when summed up represented the fluctuation within an average departure of less than one tenth of 1 percent. He ven- tured to forecast the fluctuation of the solar radiation to the end of the year 1934 as based on this analysis. The observations followed the prediction as closely as could be expected up to about May 1, 1933, when a divergence of about three fourths of 1 percent began to disclose itself. The results came higher than expected. Whether this divergence is due to a slight change of scale of the instruments at Table Mountain from whence the observations are alone available at present, to a failure of the empirical method of reduction there on account of the very unusual humid and hazy summer, or to a real divergence of solar radiation from the trend indicated by former 47 48 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 observations cannot yet be determined. As soon as the revision of the method of reduction of observations from Montezuma, Chile, now in progress, is completed, it will be possible to decide. Having found the variation of the sun so obviously periodic in character, Dr. Abbot and Mrs. Bond spent a great deal of time on the study of the departures from normal temperature of Bismarck, N.Dak. This station was chosen as one with a long record, published in World Weather Records, and situated in a region subject to the most direct influence of the sun without near-by interference of oceanic and moun- tain climates. The data have been studied for the interval 1875 to 1925 with a view to determining therefrom whatever periodicities might be contained. Itis hoped that, based upon this analysis, a prediction might be made of the march of departures from normal temperature at Bismarck for the period 1925 to the present which could be immediately compared with observation so as to see if such prediction would be verified. The study is not yet completed but indicates clearly that the seven periodicities found in solar variation are of importance in the control of the temperature at Bismarck, although for reasons not fully understood changes of phase and amplitude. confuse effects. A hopeful line of study of the causes of these changes of phase and amplitude is in progress. Mr. Aldrich, besides attending to the routine of the observatory and the demands of the field stations in California, Chile, and Egypt, has reconstructed the delicate parts of the double-barreled water- flow pyrheliometer, has taken part in the preparation of an exhibit for the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago, and has under- taken the revision of the method of reduction of the observations at Montezuma. Mr. Fowle’s work has been largely confined to the preparation of the eighth edition of the Smithsonian Physical Tables. The instrument maker, Mr. Kramer, has had under construction apparatus for the continuation of the study of the solar spectrum at ereat wave lengths, to be noticed below, as well as the rebuilding of certain apparatus used by the stations at Table Mountain, Monte- zuma, and Mount St. Katherine. MOUNT ST. KATHERINE EXPEDITION Financed by the generosity of Mr. John A. Roebling, an expedition under the charge of Harlan H. Zodtner, assisted by Frederick A. Greeley, was prepared and dispatched to occupy Mount St. Katherine near Mount Sinai in Egypt. The expedition went forward in March 1933. Arrangements had been made with the Convent of Mount Sinai to construct trails, protect the springs from pollution, and prepare the buildings for observing and quarters for the observers at the summit of Mount St. Katherine. A recent report indicates that the preparations are far advanced. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 49 MOUNT WILSON EXPEDITION Messrs. Abbot and Aldrich continued the occupation of the station at Mount Wilson up to September 1932 for the purpose of attempting measurements of the solar spectrum for very long wave lengths, from 8 to 30 microns, far down in the infrared. The ultimate object of these studies is to determine the transparency of the atmosphere for these long wave lengths and its dependence on the atmospheric humidity, but more especially on the quantity of atmospheric ozone. It is believed that the temperature of the earth may probably depend intimately on the absorption of outgoing earth rays produced by the ozone of the atmosphere. Measurements made in the ultraviolet spectrum have indicated that the ozone content of the atmosphere is variable and that the variations are associated with the sun-spot numbers. Inasmuch as an important band of absorption by ozone occurs at exactly the only region of the terrestrial spectrum where the atmosphere is otherwise highly transparent, it is very probable that the variation in the atmospheric ozone is an important weather phenomenon. The difficulties of observing in this region are very great. The solar spectrum there is extremely feeble compared with regions of lesser wave length, and a great deal of the shorter wave length rays are scattered into the long-wave region which must be studied. Accordingly a double spectroscopic arrangement must be provided to produce a better spectrum. This not only complicates the apparatus but requires exceedingly sensitive radiation-measuring devices to observe the feeble indications of energy. Computation showed that neither the bolometer, the thermopile, nor the radiom- eter appeared adequate for the purpose. Dr. Abbot was fortunate in recalling the special radiation-measuring device which he invented about 25 years ago, and in very greatly improving its construction so that it becomes of the very highest sensitiveness. The description of this instrument which he prepared and used at Mount Wilson was published in 1932 under the title ‘‘The Kampometer, a New Instru- ment of Extreme Sensitiveness For Measuring Radiation.”’ Considerable time at Mount Wilson was occupied in devising and constructing and learning to use this instrument, but Messrs. Abbot and Aldrich before their departure were able to make certain pre- liminary measurements in the solar spectrum at very long wave lengths which indicated that sufficient sensitiveness is available. Attempts are under way to improve the kampometer by the sub- stitution of bimetallic strips composed of cadmium and molybdenum and by more exact construction. Also the double spectroscope is being rebuilt, and it is believed that an expedition in 1934, if that be possible, may add valuable knowledge of the extreme infrared solar spectrum. 50 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 OTHER FIELD STATIONS The voleanic eruption in southern Chile early in the year 1932 having temporarily spoiled the atmosphere for observing at Monte- zuma, we took advantage of the break in continuity of observations to improve the apparatus by substituting pyrheliometers of the newest type, a new pyranometer with improved sun shade, and have under- taken to revise the method of computing in accordance with the latest method developed at Table Mountain. These extensive alterations in apparatus and procedure prevent the working out of the solar- constant values until the method is fully complete and tested. When that occurs the values from the Montezuma station will be available back to about the middle of the year 1932, leaving a break of only 2 or 3 months when the volcanic ash was at its maximum. Meanwhile telegraphic observations have been received from the station at Table Mountain and communicated to interested parties as heretofore. They are not regarded as of so high a degree of accuracy as those formerly obtained from Montezuma and are regarded, furthermore, as provisional values subject to revision when all the evidence becomes available. PERSONNEL M. Keith Baughman was employed as bolometric assistant at Table Mountain from November 21, 1932, to May 31, 1983. A. F. Moore returned from detached service to be director at Table Moun- tain. Harlan H. Zodtner and Frederick A. Greeley were released from duty at Table Mountain for detached service on the Mount St. Katherine Expedition. SUMMARY Valuable progress has been made on the study of the dependence of terrestrial temperature departures on the variation of the sun. Inter- esting studies have begun on the dependence of terrestrial tempera- ture departures on the ozone content of the atmosphere; solar- radiation observations have been continued at Table Mountain, Calif., Montezuma, Chile, and the cooperating private station at Mount St. Katherine in Sinai Peninsula is being equipped. A new radiation measuring instrument of highest sensitiveness called the kampometer has been devised and used with success in preliminary measurements of the extreme infrared solar spectrum.

APPENDIX 7 REPORT ON THE DIVISION OF RADIATION AND ORGANISMS Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report on the activities of the Division of Radiation and Organisms during the year ending June 380, 1933: This branch of the operations promoted by private funds has for its primary purpose the study of the dependence of plant growth on radiation in various circumstances of temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration in the air. The division was started May 1, 1929, by the assistance of the Research Corporation of New York, which has furnished an average of about $20,000 a year in grants to promote its progress. To these sums have been added sums from the income of the private endowment of the Smithsonian Institution, so that an average expenditure somewhat exceeding $25,000 annually has been made. The investigations proposed required considerable laboratory space and office space. ‘These were secured by clearing a part of the western basement of the old Smithsonian Building and equipping it with water, gas, and electricity, cementing the floor, and finishing and painting the walls. Office space was obtained by finishing the interior of the north tower and providing an elevator, whereby eight excellent though small office rooms were made available. The earlier years of the investigation were very largely given over to the invention and construction of special apparatus under the direction of Dr. F.S. Brackett and Dr. Earl S. Johnston. Much glass apparatus has been prepared by L. B. Clark, and in the shop equipped by the funds of the Research Corporation L. A. Fillmen has con- structed many instruments of special design. Dr. EK. D. McAlister has been engaged in the preparation of thermocouples of high sensi- tivity, the measurement of the energy distribution of absorption spectra, and the preparation of spectroscopic apparatus, and has assisted in the different researches as required. ’ In addition to the personnel above named, W. H. Hoover has been assigned to the special work on radiation and plant growth, Dr. Florence E. Meier, a fellow of the National Research Council, has been assigned to the study of the life and health of algae under different 51 52 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 conditions of radiation, and R. M. Clagett has assisted with the wood work of special devices. During the earlier part of the fiscal year, six pamphlets were published under the following titles: Lethal action of ultra-violet light on a unicellular green alga, by Florence E. Meier. A spectrophotometric development for biological and photochemical investiga- tions, by F. S. Brackett and E. D. McAlister. The functions of radiation in the physiology of plants. JI. General methods and apparatus, by F. 8. Brackett and E. 8S. Johnston. The functions of radiation in the physiology of plants. II. Some effects of near infrared radiation on plants, by Earl S. Johnston. Carbon dioxide assimilation in a higher plant, by W. H. Hoover, Earl S. Johnston, and F. S. Brackett. Absolute intensities in the visible and ultra-violet spectrum of a quan mercury arc, by E. D. McAlister. , An outstanding exhibition was prepared for the Atlantic City meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in December 1932, which attracted wide and favorable notice. Also an interesting exhibit for the Century of Progress Exposition at Chicago was prepared in cooperation between the division, the Astrophysical Observatory, and the Division of Mineralogy of the National Museum. In March 1933 a reorganization of the division took place. The Secretary, Dr. Abbot, who has been engrossed in the preparation of volume 5 of the Annals of the Astrophysical Observatory and volume 12 of the Smithsonian Scientific Series, having finished these tasks, undertook the general charge of the division. Dr. F. S. Brackett received a part-time appointment as consulting physicist with oppor- tunity to devote himself entirely for the division on the investigation of absorption spectra of organic substances such as contribute to the chemical activity of plants. Dr. E. S. Johnston was appointed assistant director of the division. . Having completed his share of the preparation of the two exhibits, Mr. Hoover carried through a study of the growth of wheat under measured concentrations of water vapor and carbonic acid with fixed temperature and illuminated by measured quantities of light from helium discharge tubes. This research showed that the helium discharge produces approximately 30 percent greater assimilation of carbon dioxide than does equally intense white light. By means of filters some progress was made by Mr. Hoover in separating the effects of the several monochromatic rays of which the light of the helium discharge tube is composed. Dr. McAlister, at the request of Dr. Abbot, undertook to devise a better means of producing substantially monochromatic light of any desired wave length for use in plant-growth experiments. After REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 53 devising a spectroscopic method which seemed feasible, he made experiments with the so-called Christiansen filter, which are exceed- ingly promising. This apparatus consists of a parallel-walled, trans- parent cell in which some organic liquid, as benzene is almost com- pletely filled with granulated optical glass. At that wave length where the index of refraction of the liquid is equal to the index of refraction of the glass, the rays pass directly through, whereas those of surrounding wave length are scattered to more or less wide angles. It is easily possible with this apparatus to secure a nearly pure spec- trum band not more than 200 angstroms wide. The band may be moved from one part of the spectrum to another by changing the temperature of the apparatus. Dr. McAlister, however, by mixing two liquids, has arranged to alter the wave length of the transmitted band by varying their relative concentration. With Mr. Hoover he has developed an excellent method for illuminating with this source of monochromatic light the wheat experiments and the experiments with algae such as Dr. Meier is conducting. Quite sufficient intensities of energy may be obtained by the devices proposed, and it is expected soon to undertake the growth of wheat and of algae under selected rays of nearly monochromatic light of suitable and controlled intensity. Dr. Meier made two series of check experiments on the propagation of unicellular algae under 12 different varieties of light. These experiments gave well-according results, but their interpretation as regards wave-length data is not yet quite complete. Dr. Johnston is continuing the experiments on phototropism and has attempted the growing of wheat under outdoor conditions with different concentrations of carbon dioxide. Considerable difficulties were encountered in this latter experiment, so that no definitive results have yet been obtained, but it is believed that the way is now open to more successful operations next season. Dr. Brackett has completed the installation of the rock-salt spec- trograph for investigations of the absorption energy spectra of organic substances in the extreme infrared, and has obtained some beautiful preliminary photographic records of certain bands of absorption. He has also completed the installation of a quartz spectrograph for the study of absorption spectra through a wide range of wave lengths, and has obtained beautiful records with it also. Mr. Clark has undertaken the preparation of suitable bimetallic strips of cadmium and molybdenum for use in the construction of a kampometer, that excessively sensitive radiation-measuring instru- ment invented by Dr. Abbot and used by him on Mount Wilson in 1932. ~ Respectfully submitted. C. G. Aspot, Director. The SECRETARY, Smithsonian Institution. APPENDIX 8 REPORT ON THE INTERNATIONAL CATALOGUE OF SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report on the opera- tions of the United States Regional Bureau of the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1933. The regular routine work of the Bureau was continued, consisting mainly of recording necessary data of current scientific literature published in the United States to be immediately available for indexing and classifying purposes whenever international conditions make it possible to resume publication. In addition to this routine work efforts to reorganize and refinance the organization were con- tinued but without success as, owing to the long continued financial depression, it was impossible to obtain from the other cooperating countries the necessary monetary commitments. Efforts were also made to obtain, in this country, a capital fund to meet the whole cost of printing, a plan having been formulated showing that with a revolving fund of $75,000 available, publication could be resumed and publishing thereafter become self-supporting. The time, how- ever, was not ripe for obtaining necessary financial aid from either private donors or endowed foundations. Therefore, Congress having failed to provide the usual funds to continue the work of the Bureau, the work was suspended at the end of the fiscal year. As all the records and accumulated data are still intact in the Smithsonian Institution, it is hoped and expected that it will still be found possible to reorganize this important, unique international enterprise, as nothing has appeared to take its place and the want of the classified catalogue to the world’s literature of science is keenly felt alike by librarians and workers in all fields of science. Interest in and aid to bibliographies of scientific publications was one of the first and has always been one of the main interests of the Smithsonian Institution. Since 1901 these interests have centered in the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature, which through international cooperation then began the publication of a complete catalogue and index of the current scientific literature of the world. War chaos made it necessary to suspend operations in 1922. 54 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 50 It was through the influence of the Royal Society that the cata- logue was begun, and it stood financial sponsor for the enterprise from the beginning. Each country taking part in the work bore the total cost of indexing and classifying its own publications. This cost was met, as a rule, by direct governmental grant. The United States was represented through the Smithsonian Institution, an appropriation being made each year by Congress for the mainte- nance of the Bureau. The Central Bureau in London bore the expense of editing and publishing the data prepared by the regional bureaus and depended for its support entirely on rs received from subscribers to the work. The aim of the International Catalogue was not only to cite the titles of scientific papers published since 1901, but briefly to supply an analytical digest of the subject contents of each paper. This was successfully accomplished in the following manner: To each one of the sciences was assigned one of the letters of the alphabet, and to each of the subheadings in these sciences was assigned a number. In classifying the subject contents of a paper or book, instead of writing an abstract, a letter and number referring to the classifica- tion schedules were added to the citation for each important subject treated, thus not only analyzing but classifying the author’s work. The printed volumes were arranged first as author catalogues and second as subject catalogues. In the subject catalogues the classi- fied references were assembled and grouped under each of the common heads to which they appertained, and furnished a ready means of learning at a glance all that had been written on a given subject of scientific investigation. The International Catalogue of Scientific Literature was more than an index; it was a condensed digest of the world’s scientific literature. No such bibliographical service exists or ever existed until the International Catalogue appeared, and when it is realized that the most expensive part of the undertaking was furnished free through the classified index references supplied by the 30 or more regional bureaus, it is apparent that no private enterprise could hope to produce such a catalogue. Revolutionizing advances in many of the arts, industries, and trades are often made by means of scientific research, and what today appears to be an abstract investigation in pure science tomorrow becomes a stepping stone to some epoch-making invention, which either entirely changes an old or establishes a new trade or industry. Hence a knowledge of the world’ s scientific literature is not a luxury but a necessity. Today the field is only partially covered by other publications, which, when assembled, are bulky, expensive, lack uniformity in methods of reference, and in the aggregate leave many branches of 56 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 science unrepresented, all of which came within the scope of the International Catalogue. This is the situation today for current literature, and unless reor- ganization of the International Catalogue can be accomplished, it is hard to imagine what the future condition will be unless today’s records are all indexed and classified in some uniform and available form. The World War stopped the publication of the catalogue, yet the backbone of the undertaking, namely, international cooperation of numerous self-supporting classifying bureaus, is still available. This indispensable contribution is worth several hundred thousand dollars a year. The situation is now far simpler than it was when the organization was founded in 1900, for then no precedent existed for such an inter- national cooperative enterprise. Now, the successful publication of 238 volumes aggregating some 140,000 pages of the International Catalogue is substantial and convincing proof that the original plan was feasible. War and disorganized international conditions alone were responsible for the necessity of suspending publication. It would be difficult to find an object more worthy of endowment than this unique, international cooperative organization, when worth- while projects are being considered by individuals or foundations desiring to aid the advance of knowledge and the welfare of mankind. It is believed that abeyance of the great service formerly rendered by the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature is temporary only and that the work can eventually be resumed when the universal upheaval now convulsing world affairs has somewhat subsided. Respectfully submitted. Lronarp C. GUNNELL, Assistant in Charge. Dr. C..G.. AxBBor, Secretary, Smithsonian Institution. APPENDIX 9 REPORT ON THE LIBRARY Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report on the activi- ties of the Smithsonian library for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1933: THE LIBRARY The library, or library system, of the Smithsonian Institution com- prises considerably more than 800,000 volumes, pamphlets, and charts. These are chiefly in the Smithsonian deposit in the Library of Congress and the libraries of the United States National Museum and the Bureau of American Ethnology. The others are in the Smithsonian office library, Langley aeronautical library, radiation and organisms library, the libraries of the Astrophysical Observatory, Freer Gallery of Art, National Gallery of Art, National Zoological Park, and the various sectional libraries of the National Museum. While the col- lections have to do with nearly all subjects, they concern themselves largely with the natural sciences and technology. EXCHANGE OF PUBLICATIONS The exchange work of the library showed a falling off from the pre- vious year, due to the world-wide economic depression and the con- sequent curtailment of funds of learned institutions and societies for research and publication. Only 22,821 packages of publications— 21,103 by mail and 1,718 by the International Exchange Service— were received, as against 24,651 in 19382. A corresponding decrease was apparent in the number of items in the packages. For instance, there were 4,592 dissertations, while the year before there were 5,340. The library obtained 3,664 volumes and parts in response to special requests from the various Smithsonian libraries—fewer by 469 than in 1932. The new exchanges were 198, while the year before they were 280. ‘There was a very noticeable decrease in the want cards for which favorable responses were received, the number from the Smithsonian deposit and the Langley aeronautical library being scarcely more than one half those for which publications were obtained in 1932. Unusually important sendings came from the Académie des Sciences, Belles-Lettres et Arts, Clermont-Ferrand; the Botanical Society of South Africa, Cape Town; the Dansk Ornithologisk Central, Viborg; the Landesmuseumsverein fiir Vorarlberg, Bregenz; the 16528—33—5 57 58 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 Sodalitas Amicorum Universitatis Reg. Hung. Francisco-Josephinae, Szeged; and such universities as California, Harvard, Manchester, Pavia, Pennsylvania, and Yale. Dissertations were received from the Academy of Freiberg, the Universities of Basel, Berlin, Bern, Bonn, Braunschweig, Breslau, Budapest, Cornell, Erlangen, Freiberg, Giessen, Greifswald, Halle, Heidelberg, Helsingfors, Jena, Johns Hop- kins, Konigsberg, Leipzig, Louvain, Lund, Marburg, Neuchatel, Pennsylvania, Rostock, Strasbourg, Tiibingen, Utrecht, and Ziirich, and technical schools at Berlin, Braunschweig, Delft, Dresden, Karlsruhe, and Ziirich. GIFTS There were many gifts, as usual, but only a few can be mentioned here. From His Excellency, Eamon de Valera, President of the Irish Free State, came a welcome copy of Hugh Lane and His Pic- tures, by Thomas Bodkin, accompanied by a letter from the donor. From Mrs. Frances F. Cleveland Preston came a copy of A True Story of Some Eventful Years in Grandpa’s Life, by Henry E. Per- rine—a rare work of botanical interest; from William K. Vanderbilt, a copy of West Made East with the Loss of a Day, by the donor—a worthy companion to other books previously presented by Mr. Van- derbilt; from Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Brentano, a handsome 70-volume set of Voltaire in the original; and from Mosho Kawabata, a collection of Gyokusho’s works, in 2 volumes. Other gifts were the Handbook of Museums (6 copies), issued by the American Association of Mu- seums, from the association; Reports, in 11 volumes, of the President’s Conference on Home Building and Home Ownership, from the editors; Archaeologia Orientalis, volume 2, from the Far Eastern Archaeo- logical Society ; The New Conquest of Central Asia, by Roy Chapman Andrews, from the American Museum of Natural History; The Mon- asteries of the Wadi ’n Natrdn, Part II, by Hugh G.

From Mrs. Isabel Brackenridge Hendry was received a collection of letters written by John Torrey, Asa Gray, Charles Pickering, Capt. Charles Wilkes, and others to William D. Brackenridge, botanist of the United States Exploring Expedition of 1838-42, which added substantially to the manuscript material on the expedition already in the library. Still other gifts included 2,000 or more publications, chiefly on ethnology and archeology, which had belonged to the late Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, former Chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology, from Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Stabler; REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 59 550 from the Biological Society of Washington; 283 from the Geo- physical Laboratory; 235 from the American Association for the Advancement of Science; 195 from the National Institute of Health; 66 from the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature; and 31 from the American Association of Museums. There were also gifts, as usual, from many members of the Smithsonian staff, notably the: late Dr. William H. Holmes, who gave the library more than 600) publications. SMITHSONIAN DEPOSIT The Institution’s main library of 40,000 was in 1866 deposited in the Library of Congress. There it has grown, by almost daily addi- tions from the Smithsonian, to well over 500,000. The collection relates especially to the natural sciences and technology, being par- ticularly strong in monographs and journals and in the reports, pro- ceedings, and transactions of learned institutions and societies. In the course of the last fiscal year the Institution added to the deposit 2,744 volumes, 10,202 parts of volumes, 3,117 pamphlets, and 109 charts. Among the items were 3,315 dissertations. Among them, too, were 2,202 publications which the Smithsonian library obtained in exchange in response to requests from the Smithsonian, periodical, and order divisions of the Library of Congress—a decrease of 243 from the year before. The number of foreign documents re- ceived by the library and forwarded to the documents division of the Library of Congress was much smaller than usual, as more of these government publications, it is gratifymg to report, are each year being sent directly to the Library through the International Exchange Service and fewer by way of the Smithsonian library. Portraits of the Founder and five Secretaries of the Institution were ‘presented to the Library of Congress late in the year, to be hung in the Smithsonian division with those of other scientists of note. NATIONAL MUSEUM LIBRARY The library of the United States National Museum numbers 84,580 volumes and 110,748 pamphlets. The additions in 1933 were 2,436 volumes and 786 pamphlets. The staff entered 10,458 periodicals— 1,433 more than the previous year. These included 1,296 volumes and parts that they obtained in exchange as the result of checking sets and writing special request letters. Owing to a reduction in the allotment for binding, they sent only 895 volumes to the bindery, although more were prepared. They cataloged 3,077 publications, and added 20,242 cards to the catalogs and shelf lists. They also - did, as usual, most of the routine work for the library of the National Gallery of Art. They forwarded to the files of the sectional libraries 60 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 5,901 publications, and lent to the curators and their associates 8,344. Of the latter, 2,359 were borrowed from the Library of Congress and 535 from 20 other libraries. Publications were likewise lent to many libraries throughout the United States and Canada. The publica- tions returned to the Library of Congress numbered 2,527 and to other libraries 608. The reference work of the staff was extensive and at times complicated and difficult, much of it being in response to requests from members of the scientific staff, but more than usual in answer to questions from visiting scientists and from correspondents. The sectional libraries to which the staff found time to give special assistance were those of mammals, botany, ethnology, and physical anthropology. These libraries, 35 in number, are as follows: Administration Invertebrate paleontology Associate director’s office Mammals Agricultural history Marine invertebrates Anthropology Medicine Archeology Minerals Biology Mollusks Birds Organic chemistry Botany Paleobotany Echinoderms Photography Editor’s office Physical anthropology Engineering Property clerk’s office Ethnology Reptiles and batrachians Fishes Superintendent’s office Foods Taxidermy Geology Textiles Graphic Arts Vertebrate paleontology History Wood technology Insects OFFICE LIBRARY The office library contains many standard reference works, the publications of the Smithsonian and its affiliated bureaus and of some of the older foreign societies and institutions, and several thousand volumes of general interest. The library was increased during the year by 114 volumes, 812 parts of volumes, and 9 pamphlets. The staff made 809 catalog cards and filed 1,492, answered 241 reference questions, and loaned 2,091 publications. There were about 3,000 visitors. BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY LIBRARY The library of the Bureau of American Ethnology consists of 30,391 volumes, 16,993 pamphlets, and a large number of unbound magazines, chiefly on the North American Indian and other early inhabitants of the Western Hemisphere. It also has some important manuscripts, Indian vocabularies, and photographs. During the last fiscal year the library was increased by 320 volumes and 126 pamphlets. The staff entered 3,440 periodicals, added 4,840 cards REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 61 to the catalog, loaned 2,134 publications, and rendered the usual reference service, especially in connection with the scientific work of the Bureau. ASTROPHYSICAL OBSERVATORY LIBRARY The library of the Astrophysical Observatory has 4,487 volumes and 3,726 pamphlets, largely on the major subjects of interest to the Observatory. The additions in 1932 were 130 volumes and 259 pamphlets. The staff entered 1,209 periodicals and prepared 607 cards for the catalog. The loans numbered 117. RADIATION AND ORGANISMS LIBRARY The library of radiation and organisms, which is the working collection of the most recently established division under the Smith- sonian, numbers 194 volumes, 10 pamphlets, and 6 charts. The accessions for the year were 4 volumes, 300 parts of volumes, and 1 pamphlet. LANGLEY AERONAUTICAL LIBRARY The Langley aeronautical library, the nucleus of which came from the third Secretary of the Institution and such of his associates as Alexander Graham Bell, Octave Chanute, and James Means, num- bers 1,954 volumes, 1,116 pamphlets, and 5 charts. Since 1930 most of it has been deposited, under its own name and bookplate, in the Library of Congress. The collection, while small, contains many rare items, among which are sets of early aeronautical magazines, Tt also has files of letters, photographs, and newspaper clippings. During the last fiscal year the library was increased by 46 volumes, 519 parts of volumes, 30 pamphlets, and 5 charts. NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART LIBRARY The library of the National Gallery of Art was given special atten- tion late in the year, in connection with the work of reorganizing the Smithsonian library system that has been going on for some time. Increased space was provided for it and steel shelving installed, the collection was sorted and roughly grouped, the sets were checked for missing numbers and the numbers written for, and other steps were taken preliminary to the making of a shelf list and catalog. This will be the chief work of the staff during the coming year, that the Gallery may have at the earliest possible moment library machinery adequate to its needs. The accessions during the year were unusually large, numbering 344 volumes, 428 parts of volumes, and 93 pamphlets. The collection now has 1,678 volumes and 1,509 pamphlets, chiefly on the art of the United States and Europe. 62 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 FREER GALLERY OF ART LIBRARY The library of the Freer Gallery of Art is concerned mainly with the art and culture of the Far East, India, Persia, and the nearer East. It has a number of works on American painters, particularly James MeNeill Whistler, and on the Washington Manuscripts, the well- known Biblical manuscripts of the fourth and fifth centuries, which the Gallery owns. The main collection was increased during the year by 180 volumes and 88 pamphlets and now numbers 4,857 volumes and 3,399 pamphlets. The field collection has about 800 volumes and 500 pamphlets. The staff entered 147 periodicals, sent 31 volumes to the bindery, added 2,730 cards to the catalog and shelf dist, and made many analytical index cards for articles in important art journals. NATIONAL ZOOLOGICAL PARK LIBRARY The additions to the library of the National Zoological Park were 1 volume and 11 parts of volumes, increasing this collection on animals and their care to 1,222 volumes and 410 pamphlets. SUMMARY OF ACCESSIONS The accessions for the year may be summarized as follows: : Pamphlets : Library Volumes Arnal Genie Total Astrophysical Observaloryisne se ee se Se ee ere ge 130 259 389 UIE Oi LtroneyiKee val LDA abel Oyen Les Se ee 320 126 446 Hreer) GalleryioiAmiss hess tees eS 180 88 268 Langley Aeronautical 46 35 81 National Gallery of Art___ 344 93 437 Naionalez/ooloei eal ie an keapemesen seen eee ee eee aS: 1 0 Radaion and lOroamisin's wees eee ee ene ee emery le een ee sup nu 4 1 5 Smithsonian Deposit, Library of Congress__________________________ 2, 744 3, 226 5, 970 Syvaedijr) ao} aueey ol Oi ateleys ays te and a teesden SR RE ee ee ah Tee a 114 9 123 UnitedestatesiNationaleViusetimssse- een oe eee 2, 436 786 3, 222 AIG) EMSS SS ar Ee eS ed AY Oe EE SMES ones Toye 6, 319 4, 623 10, 942 In the library system of the Institution there were on June 30, 1933, approximately the following: jel hb hea Yes eppes s earns) hc eth pane a a AL NET Ae SARL geek PRO LAATMM GI Se LE ELAN CE 591, 183 Pamphlets shy 2) ony ac) aN gas ae ee ido te Vi CAs eee 201, 454 Chartseo le cose helo oo Ee ESD ie eRe RESP O) SRS Teves art 26, 640 otal. 225 sls PR Se eae es Cee 819, 277 There were also a great many uncataloged, unbound, and uncom- ta) ten) ? ) pleted volumes. SPECIAL ACTIVITIES The staff arranged and classified the Berlandier manuscripts on the natural history of Mexico; sorted out hundreds of publications that had ceased to be useful to the Institution or its bureaus and trans- ferred them to the Library of Congress, Patent Office, and Howard REPORT OF THE SECRETARY 63 University, or sent them back to the Superintendent of Documents; checked the University of California publications in the library and returned about 600 duplicates; sent consignments of Smithsonian duplicates to Harvard University, Yale University, and the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, in special exchange for recent publications of these institutions that were needed by the library; arranged for the return of many publications of the Institution and its branches from libraries in which they were duplicates, that they might again become available for exchange; and made notable progress in reorganizing the technological library, in which 1,134 linear feet of steel shelving were installed during the year.

The file of the library’s exchange relations, begun early in the year, showed marked progress, thanks to the cooperation of the publica- tions offices of the Smithsonian and Museum with the library. It is expected that the file will be well along by the close of the next fiscal year. It becomes more and more useful, especially as an aid in determining the value of each exchange to the work of the Institution. A noteworthy beginning was also made on the dictionary index to the publications of the Institution and its bureaus referred to in the report for 1932. Library of Congress cards for the Smithsonian Annual Report volumes to date and part of the Proceedings of the National Museum were obtained and most of them filed. The next Smithsonian series to receive attention will be the Miscellaneous Collections. It may be added in this connection that the preparation of a manuscript index to the first 36 volumes of the Proceedings— which, when the task was undertaken early in the year, were the only volumes issued by the Institution or its bureaus for which no Library of Congress cards were available—was finished by the staff and sent to the Library. Already cards have been printed for half or more of the volumes in question. Respectfully submitted. Wiuuram L. Corsin, Librarian. Dr. C. G. Aspor, Secretary, Smithsonian Institution.

Under preserva- tion of collections, the reduction was taken from the amount available for supplies, and under maintenance and operation from the funds provided for repairs and replacements to buildings. Under the Economy Act (pt. 2, legislative appropriation act for 1933), approved June 30, 1932, provision was made for the impound- ing of certain items connected with the funds allotted for personnel. Total amounts so impounded during the year under the National Museum were $87,027.34, of which $74,031.60 came from the appropria- tion preservation of collections and $12,995.74 from maintenance and operation. Under preservation of collections, $56,252.54 came from stipulated salary reductions and was thus made up by the personnel included under this appropriation. The remaining funds impounded under this heading totaled $17,769.05 and consisted of salaries of vacant positions. The latter amount therefore was a direct reduc- tion in appropriation, since it lowered the amount available for tem- porary personnel and made impossible the utilization of savings on the salary roll for the purchase of miscellaneous supplies, the allotment for which has always been inadequate. Under maintenance and operation, $8,230.74 was impounded as a result of salary reductions, while $4,764 resulted from the impounding of salaries of vacant positions. "The latter amount was a direct reduction of the appropria- tion, since it lowered the amount available for temporary services and the purchase of supplies and equipment for the mechanics. The impounding of salaries for vacant positions thus withdrew $22,534.06 from funds usually available. The sum available for printing and binding was decreased $27,646 below the amount of the previous year. This reduction is a serious one, since the printing of manuscripts is now greatly in arrears, and additional funds for this purpose are much needed. No additions to the personnel of the Museum were made during the year, and a serious condition resulting from an undermanned force continued. More help is urgently needed in the clerical service and the guard and labor forces and also in the scientific personnel. The Museum is greatly overcrowded, and under present conditions the proper exhibition and care of the collections with the available personnel are becoming increasingly difficult. Arrangements looking toward additional space for the Museum have been outlined in previous reports. Congress has authorized appropriations of $6,500,000 for building wings at each end of the Natural History Building, but this authorization like all others was reduced 10 percent (legislative act for 1938, 212, sec. 320). Plans for the additions have been made by the Allied Architects, Inc., of REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 71 Washington, D.C., under an appropriation of $10,000 in the second deficiency bill of 1931 and have been approved by the Fine Arts Commission. The building of these wings has been submitted as the principal construction project recommended for the Smithsonian Institution under the National Industrial Recovery Act. If the required funds are allotted, the first major step in the plan for ade- quate museums and galleries under the Institution will be under way, and work can begin on the construction without delay. COLLECTIONS Steady addition of excellent material to the collections continued throughout the year, the new accessions including hundreds of speci- mens of the most valuable kind. They came in 1,698 separate accessions, with a total of 348,012 specimens, divided among the various departments as follows: Anthropology, 4,877; biology, 295,782; geology, 37,555; arts and industries, 4,261; history, 5,537. Statement regarding some of the important additions will be found in the reports of the departments that follow, and they are all included in the acces- sion list. The total increase for the previous year was 157,870 speci- mens of all kinds. For examination and report 1,575 lots of material were received, including much of a botanical and geological nature, and many indi- vidual specimens. Part was returned by request to the senders, when it was not consumed during analysis, and part retained for tlie collections under arrangement with the donors. Gifts of specimens to schools and other educational organizations numbered 5,558 specimens, including collections of mollusks and fishes, sets to illustrate rock weathering and soils, and illustrative groups of rocks, ores, and minerals. Exchanges of duplicate materials with other institutions and individuals totaled 45,872 specimens, and 12 specimens were transferred to other departments. Loans to workers outside of Washington numbered 24,552 individual specimens.

EXPLORATIONS AND FIELD WORK Investigations in the field covered the usual wide range of interests connected with man, the lower animals, and plants, both living and extinct. The work was carried on mainly through grants from the (2 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 general income of the Smithsonian Institution, assisted by contribu- tions from individuals, while certain projects were financed through the income of special funds held as endowments by the Smithsonian. Financial assistance in field expenses from the annual governmental appropriations for the National Museum was small and concerned only part of the various projects. Funds to assist in these matters, especi- ally from private sources, are one of the definite needs of our organization. Archeological work in northern Alaska was continued during the summer of 1932 by James A. Ford under the general direction of Henry B. Collins, Jr. Mr. Ford arrived at Point Barrow late in August 1931, when the ground was beginning to freeze. He found ice © conditions in the Arctic the worst in many years, and so remained at Barrow through the winter in order to allow a full season of excava- tion in the summer of 1932. He returned to Washington in November 1932. Barrow seems the most promising locality at which to find dependable evidence of the relationship between the old Bering Sea culture and the Thule, the dominant prehistoric Eskimo culture of the eastern Arctic regions. In addition to archeological material Mr. Ford obtained the skull of a bowhead whale and a series of birds. From February 18 to June 5, 1933, Frank M. Setzler, assistant curator of archeology, continued archeological investigations in south- western Texas, restricting this year’s work to the Pecos River area, to trace the eastern limits of the cave culture. One large cave over- looking the Pecos and a medium-sized shelter near Deadmans Canyon were completely excavated. It is not yet practicable to evaluate the results of this third season in the Big Bend area, but the cultural material recovered obviously belongs to the same horizon as that found farther west. Though a general relationship to the Basket Maker culture of the Southwest is apparent in the material collected both in 1932 and 1933, enough distinct characteristics appear in the remains that Mr. Setzler has exposed in Texas to warrant a temporary desig- nation as the Big Bend cave culture. Neither pottery nor any other class of artifact commonly used by archeologists in establishing a relative chronology has yet been found in association with remains peculiar to these cave dwellers of ancient Texas, and no bond has been discovered to connect them definitely with any other primitive group known in the Rio Grange drainage. One result of the 1932 expedition was the finding of 27 bones of the California condor (Gymnogyps californianus) associated with human remains in a cave on the south tip of Mule Ear Peaks. This is the first indication of the former existence of this bird in Texas and is the largest collection of bones recovered outside its present range. In his 1933 investigations, as in those of previous years, Mr. Setzler was greatly assisted by the staff of the United States Bureau of Plant Quarantine at San Antonio. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 73 On his way to Washington late in May, Mr. Setzler spent a week in east-central Louisiana investigating mounds and village sites that available data indicated might be related to the so-called ‘‘ Hopewell culture” of the northern Mississippi Valley. The results of this brief examination are such as to warrant more intensive research. In order to complete the enormous task of reorganizing its collec- tions and exhibits, the division of Old World archeology deferred actual field work for the year. Assistant Curator J. Townsend Russell, however, spent a brief period in France during midsummer in connection with the cooperative investigations inaugurated in November 1931 between the University of Toulouse and the Smith- sonian Institution. Dr. Ales’ Hrdli¢ka conducted an anthropological and archeological survey of Kodiak Island and made extensive excavations at Uyak Bay, Alaska. These excavations, which have already yielded much valuable and new material, are now more than a third finished. Dr. R.S. Bassler, head curator of geology, spent several weeks in the Mississippi Valley collecting Silurian and Mississippian echinoderms for the Springer collection. Several hundred crinoids and blastoids and many specimens of other classes of fossils were obtained, and some interesting facts in silicification and related phenomena were checked. Under the auspices of the Canfield fund, E. P. Henderson spent 4 months collecting minerals, rocks, and ores in the Rocky Mountain States, assisted by F. A. Gonyer, of Harvard University. Among the districts visited were the geode region about Keokuk, Iowa; the Black Hills of South Dakota; Butte and Helena, Mont.; Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Park City, Bingham, Thomas Range, and other localities in Utah; the carnotite fields of Colorado and Utah; and Leadville, Breckenridge, Alma, and Cripple Creek, Colo. Among the material obtained were a huge quartz geode, numerous well-crystallized copper minerals, and rare vanadium minerals. Dr. W. F. Foshag, accompanied by James Benn, visited the mica and gem mines about Amelia, Va., and collected a number of rare minerals. Mr. Benn also explored a newly discovered cave near Beaver Creek, Md., and obtained unusual stalagmitic growths of beautiful and perfect form. Explorations for the division of stratigraphic paleontology were made by Dr. G. A. Cooper during 6 weeks spent in the richly fossilif- erous country on Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec, resulting in the acquisition of many fine fossils. Following this Dr. Cooper made stratigraphic studies in New York State’s classical sequence of Devonian rocks. Though supplementary to previous studies by Dr. Cooper in this State, this year’s task was to trace the stratigraphic units eastward from the Unadilla Valley. The needed columnar sections were pre- pared, and many specimens, some new to science, were obtained. 16528—33——6 74 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 As the field expedition under C. W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate paleontology, extended well into the present year, only brief mention was made of it in last year’s report. This expedition in the Oligocene of Montana, western Nebraska, southeastern South Dakota, and eastern Wyoming brought gratifying results in the acquisition of a large and representative collection of this important fauna. Out- standing among many valuable specimens is a nearly complete skeleton of an eagle of a type distinct from any hitherto known. An important accomplishment of the department of biology was the organization of the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition, under the direction of Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of mollusks and Cenozoic invertebrates, and the successful completion of the first of a series of cruises planned for oceanographic work. Eldridge R. Johnson in the fall of 1932 placed his palatial yacht Caroline at the disposal of the Smithsonian Institution for the purpose of deep-sea exploration, to- gether with funds for equipment of the vessel, necessary gear and instruments, and an adequate scientific staff. At the suggestion of Dr. Bartsch an oceanographic survey of the Puerto Rican Deep was undertaken. Various agencies of the Government interested in oceanographic work, including bureaus in the Navy, Agriculture, and Commerce Departments, rendered valuable assistance in the way of suggestions and material, as did the authorities of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, the Oceanographic Institution of Woods Hole, the American Museum of Natural History, Dr. William Beebe, and others. The gathering of equipment and its installation began in October, and on January 21, 1933, the Caroline left New York. The program for the cruise was carried out successfully, and on March 14 the Caroline returned to Washington loaded with valuable collections, embracing many forms of life unknown to science, and with extensive observations in the various branches of oceanography, all of which are now in the hands of specialists for study. During the cruise more than 900 soundings were made, and serial gatherings of water samples and temperatures were taken down to 3,200 fathoms. Collections were made at 109 stations, mostly at depths below 200 fathoms, with gear ranging from tangles to dredges, beam trawls, otter trawls, and intermediate nets. Several cores were taken, and morning and evening observations of air draft were made by means of pilot balloons observed through a theodolite. It is planned to continue the work during another cruise in the same general area. Another important marine expedition was that of Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, curator of marine invertebrates, to the Galapagos Islands on the yacht Velero IIJ, through invitation of Capt. G. Allan Hancock, owner of the ship and leader of the expedition. Dr. Schmitt em- barked at Los Angeles on December 28, 1932, and returned on March 25, 1933. Tully equipped for scientific work both on land and sea REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 75 and with a staff representing several branches of zoology, the expedi- tion visited 11 of the 16 principal islands of the Galapagos Archi- -pelago and 13 other places on the coasts of South and Central America and Mexico, including the Malpelo, Cocos, and Isabel Islands. The expedition obtained large series of invertebrates of which a first set of Crustacea, to which: Dr. Schmitt paid special attention, becomes the property of the National Museum. Many additions to scientific knowledge in this group are included in these collections. Dr. Hugh M. Smith continued explorations in Siam covering various parts of the country not previously visited. The work included a trip up the tortuous Pasak River, which marks the bound- ary between central Siam and the eastern plateau, journeys to Sam Roy Yot (Three Hundred Peaks) in western Siam, and to the moun- tain-forest jungle of the northwestern corner of Siam. The large collections of mammals, birds, reptiles, and mollusks received testify to Dr. Smith’s continued interest in the Museum and will yield many ‘scientific novelties. Collections received from Dr. D. C. Graham indicate that he has safely returned to his old field in western China and has resumed his zoological activities in behalf of the Smithsonian Institution. Con- tinuation of his former explorations has been planned in cooperation with the recently established West China Museum. Dr. Alan Mozley, awarded the Walter Rathbone Bacon traveling scholarship under the Smithsonian Institution for study of the land and fresh-water molluscan fauna of Siberia, had a successful season during the summer of 1932. Through the cooperation of local authorities he was enabled to carry out plans for a visit to the Akhmo- linsk Steppe and to the taiga north of Tomsk. Thanks to the generous assistance of the director of the limnological station at Lake Baikal, he was able to spend nearly 2 months in the Baikal region, where he circumnavigated the lake in the motor yacht of the station and made various land excursions. During the winter Dr. Mozley worked on his collections at the University of Edinburgh, where facilities were generously provided him. Dr. Herbert Friedmann, curator of birds, through the courtesy of Hobart Ames, visited Grand Junction, Tenn., to study a curious red phase among the quail found in that locality. Dr. A. Wetmore, assistant secretary, during a trip to New Mexico and Arizona, col- lected series of bird skins and skeletons. The beginning of the year found Dr. J. M. Aldrich, curator of insects, west of the Rocky Mountains collecting Diptera, work that was completed the middle of August. P. W. Oman, of the Bureau of Entomology, made an extended trip by automobile through the - northwestern United States to obtain specimens of leafhoppers and other homopterous insects, and returned with many valuable addi- tions to the Museum collections. 76 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt spent the first 6 weeks of the year at the- marine laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington at Dry Tortugas, Fla., in continuation of studies of the crustacean fauna of — the region. A comprehensive collection of marine invertebrates, mainly crustaceans, was brought back. During the early part of the year Dr. Paul Bartsch continued studies of Cerion colonies on the Florida Keys, with the financial. assistance of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. On his return he collected mollusks on several mountain peaks of the southern Alleghenies. Austin H. Clark made several trips to the region included in the proposed Shenandoah National Park in furtherance of a project for coordinating and extending knowledge of the biology of the area, in cooperation with the National Park Service, the United States. Bureau of Public Roads, and the Virginia State Commission on Con-- servation and Development. In July and August 1932, J. R. Swallen, assistant botanist in the: section of grasses, collected in Yucatan under a cooperative arrange- ment between the United States Department of Agriculture, the- University of Michigan, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington, in connection with a biological survey of the Mayan area. The col-. lection obtained, about 1,000 specimens, has increased the known erass flora of the region by more than 50 percent. C. V. Morton, aid in the division of plants, left in March for a 3-months’ botanical. exploration in Oaxaca. Because of an unfavorable season and Mr. Morton’s illness, this work, which was conducted with the kind. assistance of Dr. Emil Makrinius, of Pochutla, had to be considerably curtailed. The 2,000 specimens collected, however, will prove valu- able, since they come from a region little represented in the National Herbarium. During the summer of 1932, Prof. C. E. Burt, of Southwestern . College, Winfield, Kans., carried on field work in herpetology designed to obtain series of turtles in the region of the upper reaches of the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. The Museum has long needed material from that portion of the Appalachian system. The trip, made by automobile, was eminently successful and resulted in large and important collections. During the Peary Memorial expedition to the west coast of Green- land, under command of Capt. R. A. Bartlett, arranged by the Peary family, Arthur D. Norcross, and friends, Captain Bartlett obtained a large collection of marine invertebrates mostly from the vicinity of Cape York, which with customary generosity he presented to the Museum. W. G. Sheldon and Richard Borden, during July, August, and September 1932, undertook a second expedition to the mountain REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM eh region in east-central British Columbia, reaching Mount Selwyn on the Peace River on July 17 and Hudson Hope on August 1. The Sukunka River, which drains the mountains just south of Pine Pass, was investigated to its source, and a grizzly bear was collected. The expedition, difficult and arduous, terminated at the railroad at Dawson Creek, and was highly successful in its collections, which included a moose, a grizzly bear, mountain goats, wolves, red fox, marten, weasels, marmots, rabbits, squirrels, and various smaller mammals. EDUCATIONAL WORK The National Museum during the year continued its customary activities in educational lines. Our exhibition halls display great series of objects so arranged as to demonstrate facts of many kinds, on subjects ranging from the tools and dress of primitive man to complicated modern machinery, examples of the life of strange lands, of the elements that compose the earth, fossil animals and plants of former ages, and many other things. Descriptive labels accom- pany all these, and there is constant change to keep them properly arranged and up to date. The whole serves as a compendium of reference to the student or as an attractive display to the one of more ‘casual interest, from which all may profit according to their desires. In addition, the Museum is constantly active in the dissemination of knowledge in response to many hundreds of inquiries that come by mail or from visitors. Classes from the city schools are guided through the halls, and groups of students from a distance are given similar service. Although the Museum does not maintain regular series of lectures, members of the staff are called on regularly to address meetings. Students throughout the country interested in definite problems come to work with our collections and libraries, and frequently workers from abroad are engaged in investigations here that sometimes continue for months. Thus it may be seen how widely varied is the range of our educational activities and how extensive the field that they cover. VISITORS The Museum buildings were open to visitors during the year on week days from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Sundays from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., except the Aircraft Building, which was open only on week days. All the buildings were closed all day on Christmas and New Year’s Days, and part of the day on December 24, 26, and 31, Jan- uary 2, and March 4. The total number of visitors to the various Museum buildings during the year was 1,427,358, or 202,672 less than during 1931-32, a decrease clearly reflecting economic conditions throughout the 78 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 country. The average attendance for week days was 3,825 and for Sundays 4,571. The number of visitors to the Smithsonian Building on week days was 183,928, a daily average of 591, and on Sundays. 40,561, an average of 780; to the Arts and Industries Building 478,160 on week days (average, 1,537) and 103,642 on Sundays. (average, 1,993); to the Natural History Building 426,514 on week days (average, 1,371) and 93,463 on Sundays (average, 1,797); and to the Aircraft Building 101,091, a daily average of 325.

PUBLICATIONS The publications issued during the year include nine volumes,. as follows: The Annual Report for 1932; Bulletin 39, part N (6th rev.), Directions for Preparing Specimens of Mammals, by Gerrit S. Miller, Jr.; Bulletin 100, volume 12, The Fishes of the Families Banjosidae, Lethrinidae, Sparidae, Girellidae, Kyphosidae, Opleg- nathidae, Gerridae, Mullidae, Emmelichthyidae, Sciaenidae, Sillag- inidae, Arripidae, and Enoplosidae Collected by the United States Bureau of Fisheries Steamer Albatross, Chiefly in Philippine Seas. and Adjacent Waters, by Henry W. Fowler; Bulletin 158, The Copepods of the Woods Hole Region, Mass., by Charles Branch Wilson; Bulletin 163, American and European Swords in the His-- torical Collections of the United States National Museum, by Theo-- dore T. Belote; Bulletin 164, The Canadian and Ordovician Forma-: tions and Fossils of South Manchuria, by Riuji Endo; and small. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 79 editions for office use of the complete volumes 79, 80, and 81 of the Proceedings of the National Museum. Forty-one separate papers published include 2 in the Bulletins and 39 in the Proceedings. The distribution of volumes and separates to libraries and indi- viduals on the regular mailing lists aggregated 71,294 copies; while in addition 14,256 copies of publications issued during this and pre- vious years were supplied in response to special requests. The mailing lists have been revised to avoid loss in distribution. During the year 504,770 forms, labels, and other items were printed and 970 volumes were bound. LIBRARY In the library system of the Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum Library is second in importance only to the Smithsonian deposit in the Library of Congress. Its collections, concerned chiefly with natural history and technology, were increased during the year by 2,436 volumes and 786 pamphlets, and now number 84,580 volumes and 110,748 pamphlets. The accessions came, as usual, from four sources: Purchases, gifts, exchanges, and binding periodicals. Gifts were received from many members and associates of the Museum staff. Mrs. Charles D. Walcott gave the library many publications, as did also the late Dr. William H. Holmes, former director of the National Gallery of Art, his gifts for the year totaling more than 600. Important gifts also were received by assignment from the Smithsonian Institution. One was a collection of letters written by Asa Gray, John Torrey, Charles Pickering, Capt. Charles Wilkes, and others of the United States exploring expedition, 1838-42, to William D. Brackenridge, a prominent botanist of the expedition. The collection was presented to the Institution by Mrs. Isabel Brack- enridge Hendry, acting for the grandchildren of Mr. Brackenridge. It constitutes a valuable addition to the manuscript material on the subject already in the library. The staff kept the current work up to date and performed certain extra activities. They entered 10,458 periodicals, or 1,433 more than in 1932. Among these were 204 volumes and 1,092 parts that they obtained by special exchange letters in the process of completing standard sets. They also began 86 new exchanges for the Museum; sent 795 volumes to the bindery; cataloged 2,108 volumes, 954 pam- phlets, and 15 charts; and added 20,242 cards to the catalogs and shelf lists. Until toward the close of the year the library work for the National Gallery of Art was done, as usual, by the main library staff; it consisted of entering 428 periodicals and cataloging 344 volumes and 93 pamphlets. The number of volumes and parts sent to the sectional libraries for filing was 5,901. The number of intramural loans was. 80 = ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 8,344, of which more than a third were made at the loan desk in the Arts and Industries Building. Of these, 2,359 publications were borrowed from the Library of Congress and 535 from other libraries, including those of the Department of Agriculture, Geological Survey, Army Medical Museum; and the Boston Public Library, Cleveland Public Library, John Crerar Library, Newberry Library; the libraries of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, American Mu- seum of Natural History, Arnold Arboretum, Field Museum of Natural History, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Peabody Museum; and Columbia, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale Universities. In all, 42 publications were bor- rowed from libraries out of town, and 30 lent to them. The number of publications returned to the Library of Congress was 2,526 and to other libraries 608. The staff filed the Wistar Institute cards to date and sorted and distributed the systematic set of the Concilium Bibliographicum cards to the sectional libraries. They began the rearrangement and classifying of the contents of the manuscript case, taking up first the Berlandier manuscripts, consisting of several thousand pages mainly on the natural history of Mexico. They returned hundreds of publi- cations no longer needed to the Superintendent of Documents, and transferred other hundreds to the Library of Congress, the Patent Office, and Howard University. One of the most important tasks of the staff during the year was making analyticals for the first 36 volumes of the Proceedings of the National Museum. This work was undertaken in cooperation with the Library of Congress, to which the 1,694 manuscript cards prepared were sent for printing, and completes the analysis of this well-known set of Museum publications. Library-of-Congress printed cards will soon be available for all the publications that have been issued by the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus. Several sets of these cards are being received by the library, of which two are being filed in the union and Museum catalogs. One is also being used as the basis of the dictionary index that was begun at the Smithsonian early in the year. Finally, the difficult task of reorganizing the technological library in the Old Museum was notably advanced. The wooden shelving in the’ north gallery on the third floor was replaced by steel to the extent of 1,134 linear feet, the collections were reshelved, and a careful reading of the shelves was begun, preparatory to taking an inventory. As time permitted, the staff continued to render special assistance in solving the problems of the sectional libraries, including those of the divisions of mammals, botany, and physical anthropology. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 8] PHOTOGRAPHIC LABORATORY The photographic laboratory made during the year 3,025 negatives, 20,037 prints, 867 lantern slides, and 104 enlargements; developed 98 rolls of film and 48 film packs; and dry-mounted 39 prints. This work represents a slight increase over last year in the number of negatives and prints made, and was required by the National Museum and by the National Gallery of Art and the Bureau of American Ethnology, whose photographic needs are supplied by the laboratory through a cooperative arrangement. BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT Repairs and alterations Among the more important repairs and alterations to Museum buildings performed during the year are the following: The exterior walls of the Natural History Building were washed by a detail of firemen from the District of Columbia Fire Department. The plaster ceiling and side walls in the north lobby, Natural History Building, were given three coats of paint, and other painting was done as needed, both interior and exterior, including the tin roofs of the Arts and Industries Building and the Smithsonian Building. The women’s comfort room in the Natural History Building was thoroughly renovated. The large second-floor east-corner room and the small room adjoin- ing it, in the Arts and Industries Building, were remodeled in the spring of 1933 for the occupancy of the associate director and his assistants. The small anteroom was also renovated. Also, room 90 was remodeled for the use of the new illustrator. The cafe dining room in the Arts and Industries Building was remodeled, the walls and ceiling covered with composition board, and new fixtures installed. Work was completed on the installation of the pneumatic collecting and conveying system in the two woodworking rooms in the carpenter shop for removing sawdust. The work of dismantling the George Washington Bicentennial Art Exhibit was completed in January. The two stone lions on the pedes- tals at each side of the south steps, Natural History Building, were removed and shipped to Newport News, Va., for permanent exhibi- tion. Several of the plaster figures remained in the rotunda, having been presented to the National Gallery of Art. Heat, light, and power.—The heat, light, and power plant, located in the Natural History Building, was in continuous operation for about 8 months of the year. The consumption of coal was somewhat more than it was last year, but not above the average for the past few years. For heat, light, and power production 3,297.1 tons of bitu- minous coal were purchased at $4.62 a ton. 82 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 The electric current purchased for the Arts and Industries Building during the year amounted to 124,790 kilowatt-hours and cost $2,849.66, while the current purchased during the summer for the other buildings was 264,310 kilowatt-hours and cost $4,645.08, which makes a total of 389,100 kilowatt-hours purchased at a cost of $7,494.74. The rate per kilowatt-hour was 1.93 cents, which is materially less than for last year, owing primarily to the fact that the current for the Arts and Industries Building was on a different schedule. The current generated in the Museum plant was 621,384 kilowatt-hours, produced at a cost of 1.63 cents a kilowatt-hour. When the new lead-covered cables were purchased last year for enlarging the connection between the Museum lines and the Potomac Electric Power Co. cables where they enter the Natural History Building on the north side, the central line was not increased. To make this connection safe, a new 500,000 circular mils cable was bought and will be installed during the coming year. A good deal of electrical repair work has been done during the year, including not only regular repair and upkeep, but also installation of new wiring systems where the old wires have been found to be overloaded or defective. Repair work too has been necessary on some of the elevators, especially the automatic push-button elevator in the east end of the ‘Smithsonian Building, which for safety’s sake should be replaced by a manually operated car at the earliest possible time. New electric-light equipment to be installed includes 191 ceiling fixtures purchased for the third floor of the Natural History Building. The lighting of the stamp collection, in the Arts and Industries Building, which has been desired for a long time, has now been com- pleted. This consists of white porcelain-lined inverted trough reflec- tors supported from the tops of the cases in such a way as to deflect the light down against each surface of the slides on which the stamps are mounted. The method has proved very satisfactory and efficient. To provide convenient connections for the twelve 500-watt reflec- tors purchased last year for added interior illumination of the dome of the Natural History Building, 12 outlet boxes with twin receptacles have been installed around the rotunda on the fourth floor, with direct control in the engine room. The installation of small, low-voltage lamps for microscopic work in the National Herbarium has gone forward. This method of furnishing light for such work was begun last year, and has proved so satisfactory that it has been called for by other workers. The new heating system at the north front of the Smithsonian Building was completed and was in operation throughout the year. Further improvement in heating efficiency was effected by replacing with new low radiators, in various offices in the Natural History REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 83 Building, the radiators of the taller type, some of which were badly situated. Work has progressed, too, on the installation, begun last year, of new pipe in the hot-water system in the Natural History Building. This pipe, brass instead of galvanized iron, will tend to retard the accumulation of scale and dirt and thus aid in the proper flow and distribution of the water. Because of the congested location of the old equipment, the tank and other new apparatus are to be placed in the east end of the engine room. Ice production.—The refrigerating machine, located in the base- ment of the Natural History Building, for manufacturing ice for all the Museum buildings, was operated a total of 4,058 hours during the year and produced 413.9 tons of ice at a cost of $827.68, or at the rate of $2 a ton (85 cents a ton less than for last year). During the extremely hot weather, it was necessary to purchase 12% tons of ice, at a cost of $3.80 a ton. Fire protection —The fire alarms in the various Museum buildings have been regularly inspected and tested, the fire hose examined and the plugs flushed, and the sprinkler system in the Aircraft Building properly cared for. In the Arts and Industries Building some progress was made in reducing fire hazards along lines recommended by the Federal Fire Council. The improvements include filling window openings and open arches with plaster block, replacing wooden partitions with plaster block, replacing old electric wiring with modern wiring, and replacing wooden library shelves with steel shelves. Although many of the fire hazards still remain, especially in the Smithsonian Building and the Arts and Industries Building, they are being removed as rapidly as funds permit, and fire protection is being generally improved. Furniture and fixtures —The furniture added during the year in- cluded 10 exhibition cases, 365 pieces of storage, office, laboratory, and other furniture, and 2,373 drawers, boxes, and frames of various kinds. During the same period, 19 exhibition cases and bases, 93 pieces of storage, office, and laboratory furniture, and 112 wooden drawers were condemned as unfit for further use. An inventory of furniture on hand June 30, 1933, showed 3,743 exhibition cases and bases, 17,001 pieces of storage, office, and lab- oratory furniture, and 103,062 drawers, boxes, and frames. MEETINGS AND RECEPTIONS The facilities of the auditorium and lecture room are offered by the Museum to scientific and educational organizations for regular and special meetings, and whenever possible it assists in carrying out their programs. Ninety-five such meetings were held in the audi- torium and lecture room during the year by a wide range of societies -and organizations. 84 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 Memorial meeting —To commemorate the many years of service im the Smithsonian Institution of Prof. William Henry Holmes, who. died on April 20, 1933, a memorial meeting was held on the morning of April 22, Dr. Abbot presiding. The meeting was widely attended by his coworkers and friends. Receptions.—On the evening of January 26, 1933, a reception was. held by the Washington Real Estate Board in connection with the convention in Washington of the National Organization of Real Estate Boards. The foyer and all the first floor of the Natural History Building were open for the occasion. About 1,775 persons attended an informal reception given on the evening of March 28, 1933, in the Natural History Building by the American Chemical Society, convening in Washington at that time. Music was furnished by the United States Marine Band, and motion pictures on chemical subjects were shown in the auditorium. The Congress of Physicians and Surgeons held a reception for Members of Congress on the evening of May 9, 1933, in the rotunda, art gallery, and auditorium of the Natural History Building. Nearly 1,500 persons attended. Gellatly Art Collection opening.—The official opening of the Gellatly Art Collection took place in the Natural History Building on the evening of June 22, 1933. Secretary and Mrs. Abbot, Assistant Secretary and Mrs. Wetmore, and the Acting Director of the National Gallery of Art and Mrs. Tolman received. Special exhibits —The annual forestry notebook contest, under the auspices of the public schools of the District of Columbia, was held in the foyer of the Natural History Building, November 16 to 28, 1932. Some of the notebooks were attached to Museum floor screens, while: others were exhibited on temporary tables furnished by the Museum. The wooden screens forming alcoves on both sides of the foyer in the Natural History Building were used from December 10, 1932, until January 10, 1933, for an exhibit of architectural drawings from the architectural departments of colleges and schools in the District of Columbia, which was held under the auspices of the Washington Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The exhibition was opened on the evening of December 10, with a reception in the foyer. Drawings were exhibited by the following institutions: George Washington University, University of Maryland, Central High School, Catholic University of America, Gallaudet College, and McKinley High School. From March 30 to April 14, 1933, four alcoves on the west side of the foyer were assigned for an exhibit of material collected under the direction of Dr. Paul Bartsch on the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition. The deep-sea specimens, in jars, were placed on plain wooden shelves installed on the semipermanent screens. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 85 The foyer was occupied from April 17 until May 5, 1933, for an exhibition of public school art under the auspices of the Eastern Arts Association, and from May 8 to 20 part of the foyer was given over to an exhibition of colored posters on wild-flower preservation, under the auspices of the Wild Flower Preservation Society. CHANGES IN ORGANIZATION AND STAFF The changes this year in organization and staff were caused chiefly ‘by the compulsory retirement on June 30, 1932, of a number of employees in key positions. The retirement of W. deC. Ravenel deprived the department of arts and industries of its director and the division of history of its administrative supervisor. The duties of both of these offices were on July 1, 1932, temporarily assumed by J. EK. Graf, associate director of the Museum. On September 6, 1932, the position of director of the department of arts and industries was replaced by a new position of head curator—bringing the department in line with the natural history departments—and Carl W. Mitman, curator of engineering, was advanced to the head curatorship. Frank A. Taylor, assistant curator of engineering, succeeded Mr. Mitman as curator of the division of engineering. The division of history con- tinued to remain an independent division, reporting to the head of the Museum through the associate director. In the department of biology, the assistant curatorship of the division of fishes, vacated by the retirement of Barton A. Bean on June 30, 1932, was filled on January 3, 1933, by the appointment of Dr. George S. Myers. Dr. Horace G. Richards, assistant curator in the division of mollusks, resigned on September 10, 1932. In the department of anthropology, the position of scientific aide that had been held by Richard A. Allen was abolished, and the clerical force was strengthened by the appointment of an assistant clerk- stenographer for the division of ethnology. In the department of geology, James Benn was made scientific aide on March 1, 1933, taking over part of the work formerly done by Miss Margaret W. Moodey. In the mechanical shops, H. C. Taylor, head of the paint shop, who retired on June 30, 1932, was succeeded on September 6, 1932, by William Crossingham, who had been associated with this branch of the Museum work for over 30 years. In the administration office, James G. Traylor, appointment clerk, was retired on June 30, 1932, but he continued as clerk to the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution. On January 16, 1933, the appointment work of the Smithsonian Institution was consoli- dated with the classification and retirement work, and Miss Helen A. Olmsted, from the administrative office of the Museum, was made personnel officer of the Institution. 86 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 On August 29, 1932, Carl W. Mitman was appointed contact officer to represent the Smithsonian Institution in its participation in the Century of Progress Exposition, Chicago, June 1 to November 1, 1933. On June 15, Roderic F. Davis was made special agent under Mr. Mitman for work in Chicago. Honorary connections with the national collections were conferred on several scientists of note. David I. Bushnell, Jr., long associated with the ethnological and archeological work of the Institution, was given an honorary appointment as collaborator in anthropology on July 27, 1932. J. Townsend Russell, who had for several years held an honorary position as collaborator in Old World archeology, was made honorary assistant curator of that subject on May 138, 1933. In the department of biology, the work of Dr. Charles Branch Wilson, who has collaborated on Museum collections for a quarter of a century, was recognized by his honorary appointment on June 30, 1933, as collaborator in Copepoda. In the department of geology, the active interest for many years of Dr. August I’. Foerste was again recognized, this time by his honorary appointment on September 29, 1932, as associate in paleontology. Dr. Foerste served the Museum in an honorary capacity as collabo- rator in paleontology from April 16 to-December 31, 1928. The Smithsonian was fortunately able, after her retirement from active Government service, to take advantage of Miss Margaret W. Moodey’s long experience in identifying, classifying, and cataloging geological specimens by procuring her services under the income of the Springer fund as aide for work on the Springer collection of fossil echinoderms. Four employees were retired during the year under the provisions of the Civil Service retirement act. Of these Frank T. Wright, laborer, was retired for disability on August 31, 1932. Others were retired because of age limitation, as follows: Margaret W. Moodey, aide in the department of geology, on December 31, 1932, after over 30 years of service; Ambrose Green, guard, on March 31, 1933, with nearly 38 years of service; and Walter A. Barkley, guard, on January 15, 1933, after 2 years at the Museum but with other civil and military service for the Government. The Museum lost through death 2 active workers and 3 others long associated with its activities. George Emmert, guard, died on Feb- ruary 1, 1933, and John J. Veit, guard, on April 26, 1933, after services of 14 and 15 years, respectively. The death should be recorded, also, of Dr. Marcus Benjamin, retired, for many years editor of the National Museum, on October 22; 1932. DETAILED REPORTS ON THE COLLECTIONS REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY (WALTER Hoven, Head Curator) Many things of exceptional value came to the department of anthropology during the year, mostly by gift. Though exploration, the source of first-grade scientific material, was curtailed, archeo- logical work on Kodiak Island and at Point Barrow, Alaska, and exploration of caves in Texas was continued; a reconnaissance was made of remains of Indian irrigation projects and house structure in southern Arizona; and cooperative archeological investigations were pursued in Europe. ACCESSIONS FOR THE YEAR The division of ethnology received 48 accessions and 961 speci- mens, compared with 60 accessions and 931 specimens last year. Noteworthy among them is a series of Philippine material, including Moro and other Malay textiles collected by Gen. Tasker H. Bliss while Governor of Moro Province, 1905-9, and presented by Mrs. Bliss; textiles and beadwork of the Moro, Bagobo, and Igorot Tribes collected by the late Capt. Lewis Patstone and presented by Miss M. A. Patstone; and several embroidered garments of Pina cloth, donated by Miss Sarah S. Metcalf. From Cambodia, Indo-China, came a crossbow and from China and Japan large and artistic collec- tions of lacquer, porcelains, brasses, bronzes, ivory carvings, and many objects of minor art. Africa is represented by an inscribed gold ring from the Gold Coast and by a miscellaneous ethnological collec- tion from the Kivu district, Belgian Congo, presented by Miss Ellen I. Burk. A headdress and war club from Rapa Island, Society Group, came as the gift of Stanley W. Bird. Russia is the source of a small collection of brasses, including an excellent samovar, teapot, and tray, the gift of Mrs. F. Ostrach. Mexican material received includes Guadalajara earthenware, the gift of Miss Susan P. Keech, and horse trappings of braided horsehair. By transfer from the Bureau of American Ethnology, a unique collection was received from the Chama Indians of the Ucayali River area of Peru and from several Jivaro groups of eastern Ecuador. This material was obtained by M. W. Stirling, chief of the Bureau, while a member of the Latin-American expedition to eastern Ecuador 87 88 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 and Peru, and scientifically is the outstanding collection of the year, though intrinsically the gift of imperial Chinese porcelains, brasses, and other objects of high art secured in Peiping by Gen. Charles A. Coolidge in 1900, and presented by Mrs. Coolidge, is of first rank. The Mrs. Alexius McGlannan collection of Japanese, Chinese, and European folk and minor arts is likewise highly valuable. The bequest to the National Museum by the late Osage chief, Tom Baconrind, of his personal belongings and ceremonial parapher- nalia aroused unusual interest, as Chief Baconrind was prominent in Oklahoma and learned in the ceremonial lore of his tribe. He assisted the late Francis La Flesche, of the Bureau of American Ethnology, in his studies of the Osage language. The Baconrind gift includes decorative embellishments of native Indian, peyote, and Christian cult elements. A valuable addition to the collection of historical and comparative religious art is the large gift from the estate of Mrs. Alice Pike Barney. In the division of archeology 64 new accessions, totaling 2,737 specimens, were added, as against 69 accessions and 6,712 specimens during the previous year. The following are worthy of special notice: 339 stone, bone, and wooden implements, basketry, and other materials collected by Frank M. Setzler from six caves in Brewster County, Tex.; 477 flint implements from Aurignacian, Upper Paleo- lithic, and other early cultural horizons in two caves at the foot of Mount Carmel, Palestine, collected by the American School of Prehistoric Research and received as a loan from the Archaeological Society of Washington; 789 stone, bone, and ivory implements and ornaments collected by Dr. Ale’ Hrdli¢ka on Kodiak Island, Alaska; 58 specimens of stone and copper implements and pottery collected in Ecuador by M. W. Stirling; 218 stone artifacts from Monasuka- panough and other Indian village sites, mostly in Albemarle County, Va., collected and presented by D. I. Bushnell, Jr.; 58 stone, shell, and earthenware objects from five village sites in Puerto Rico, collected by Gerrit S. Miller, Jr.; 26 earthenware vessels and stone implements from Ometepe Island, Lake Nicaragua, presented by Corp. Emil M. Krieger; 9 wood carvings, copper pins, and an earthenware effigy collected at Pachacamac and other prehistoric sites in Peru and presented by George Hewitt Myers; a quipu, or knotted string record, and 15 fragments of textiles from Pachacamac and Trapiche ruins, Peru, a gift from Mrs. J. P. Compton; 38 lots of potsherds, bone projectile points, and implements from the Gran Chaco of Argentina, from E. R. Wagner, Museo Arcaico Provincial, Santiago del Estero, Argentina. In the division of physical anthropology 18 accessions, 658 speci- mens, included important skull and skeletal material from Kodiak Island, Aleutian Islands, Point Barrow, and St. Lawrence Island, REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM ° 89 Alaska, and from California and New Mexico. A series of 262 photographs of Filipinos came from Dr. R. B. Bean. Two accessions were received in the section of musical instruments; 7 (378 specimens) in the section of ceramics, including 80 pieces of older glass and pottery and 143 pieces of Irish and American Belleek ware; and 8 (141 specimens) in art textiles, including noteworthy embroideries and laces. INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS New exhibits were arranged for each of the major exhibition halls assigned to ethnology. South American exhibits were enriched by a large collection of Chama pottery from a group once believed not to practice pottery manufacture. The collection shows them to be the equal of the Coneba in producing a thin-walled, creamy-textured ware. This and three additional exhibit units resulting from the Latin-American expedition to eastern Ecuador have been installed. Material included is from various groups of Jivaro and comprises blowguns, looms and weaving apparatus, woven textiles, decorated pottery, and potterymaking implements, objects of personal adorn- ment, and various objects representing decadent stages in the art of head-hunting. Mexican folk pottery and examples of the folk arts of Mexican, Nicaraguan, and Guatemalan peoples were assembled to form a new exhibit in the Mexican alcove. This includes textiles, wood carving, model figures in wax, and objects of personal adorn- ment. The Colombian and Panamanian exhibits were improved through the addition of the W. W. Archer Choco collection and the M. W. Stirling Tule and Choco material. A case was arranged to show historical Indian sculpture from modern Indian tribes. Masks and figurine carvings in wood collected by Gibbs, Stuckley, and Wilkes from tribes of the Columbia Valley and the Pacific Northwest are shown, as well as a portrait bust of himself modeled by the Ute, Chief Shem, and the famous Haida slate carving known as the “‘Bear Mother.” During the year the division of archeclogy concentrated its efforts on complete revision of the hall devoted to Old World pre- history. An important feature is the synoptic series, portraying diagrammatically the cultural evolution of man in relation to geo- logical events, from Pliocene times to the period of modern civiliza- tion, and including type artifacts, charts showing environmental conditions, and water-color sketches suggesting characteristic human activities and industries of the successive periods. Other major exhibits installed deal with the following cultures: Eolithic, pre- Chellean, Chellean, Acheulian, Micoqien, Mousterian, Aurignacian, Magdalenian, Azilian, Final Capsian, Maglemosian, the Proto- 16528—33—7 90 ~° ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 Neolothic of France and Italy (Campignian), of Scandinavia (Erte- belle), and of Central Africa and India, the Neolithic of western, northern, and Alpine Europe, of North Africa, Indo-China, Japan, and Siberia, and the later Sumerian-Babylonian. Five charts tracing the correlation between cultural and geo- logical events in the Old World, 5 illustrations for the synoptic series, 13 maps showing cultural distributions, and 6 maps depicting the range of glacial advance and retreat were prepared and in- corporated in the exhibits. Study collections of the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods were reclassified and the accompanying records corrected wherever neces- sary to include new information. These have also been regrouped into cultural-geographical series, so that students may examine the material with greater ease and effectiveness. The collection from Casa Grande, southern Arizona, secured early in the present century by the late Jesse Walter Fewkes, was reexamined, and the exhibit illustrating the material culture of this famous ruin was greatly improved. In the division of physical anthropology a temporary exhibit of 6 cases was arranged from the newly recovered Alaska (Kodiak Island) materials, and 3 cases of new exhibits were added to the permanent display. A case of exhibits prepared for the National Academy of Sciences meeting in April remained for 2 weeks on view in the academy. Two cases of exhibits were prepared for the meet- ing of the American Surgical Association. INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH In ethnology, Henry B. Collins, Jr., continued the study of Eskimo archeology, particularly on materials collected by himself, J. A. Ford, and M. B. Chambers. For several years the Smithsonian Institution has conducted archeological studies along the west Alaskan coast, to obtain data on the chronological sequence of certain early phases of Eskimo culture. During this year and last the scene has been shifted to the north Alaska coast in the vicinity of Point Barrow. Here the problem involved concerns the historical sequence of Punuk and Thule phases of Eskimo culture. James A. Ford spent the winter of 1931-32 at Point Barrow on the Arctic coast and devoted the following summer to excavating at several old Eskimo sites in the region. Point Barrow has for some time been recognized as one of the most important places archeo- logically in Alaska, since it was the westernmost limit of the extinct Thule culture, which centered in northern Canada, and also the most eastward point to which the Old Bering Sea culture extended. Mr. Ford’s excavations were the first of a systematic nature to be car- ried on at this strategic point, and the material obtained throws REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 91 light on the relationships between the Thule, Punuk, and Old Bering Sea cultures. Mr. Collins also devoted some time to research on southeastern archeology, and participated in the conference on southern prehistory held by the National Research Council at Birmingham, Ala., in December. Phases of Arawakan occupation of the Greater Antilles have become known through five seasons of active field work by Smith- sonian expeditions sponsored by Dr. W. L. Abbott in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Cuba. Problems involved concern the inter- relationships among Ciboney, Arawak, Carib, and perhaps other tribal cultures in central and western Cuba. H. W. Krieger during the year studied material assembled on these expeditions and belong- ing to these tribal cultures. The greater problem of northern and southern affiliation of the prehistoric Antillean cultures is much nearer a solution, but much work remains to be done in Venezuela, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and perhaps Florida. The 1932 season’s work, during which Mr. Krieger investigated mounds, earthworks, and kitchenmiddens in central and western Cuba, has confirmed the belief of students that Mayan influence did not reach western Cuba. It was also found that pre-Arawak cultures of the Ciboney type are much more extensive than had previously been known. The principal evidence for this is the large number of village sites yielding no pottery. Art design areas of North America and of Oceania and certain problems connected with the distribution of aboriginal application of design were other topics of research by Mr. Krieger. The quilled and painted designs on the George Catlin collection of Indian cos- tumes from unidentified northern Plains tribes, and the costumes displayed in the Indian portraits by George Catlin, also received his attention. The culture of the historic tidewater Indians of Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas continues of major interest. The strictly prehistoric cultures and the physical anthropology of this area are receiving the attention, respectively, of Frank M. Setzler and Dr. T. Dale Stewart. The curator of archeology, Neil M. Judd, continued work on his report on the Pueblo Bonito explorations of the National Geographic Society. Assistant Curator Setzler studied archeological material he had previously collected in the Big Bend region of Texas and published a description of certain fragmentary vessels from east- central Louisiana collected in 1926 by the late Gerard Fowke. The importance of these fragments lies in their definite resemblance to a type of pottery generally designated by archeologists as ‘‘ Hopewell’”’ and heretofore reported only from the northern Mississippi Valley. Research by the curator of physical anthropology, Dr. Ales Hrdli¢ka, was concentrated on his field work in Alaska and on study 92 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 — of the skeletal materials brought back. He also finished an extensive work on ‘The Anthropology of the Pueblos’, measured the col- lection of Chinese skeletons, and prepared for publication a mono- eraph on ‘‘Kar Exostoses:. Contribution to Racial Pathology.” The assistant curator, Dr. T. D. Stewart, measured the tympanic plate and external auditory meatus in the Eskimo, California Indians, and related groups; tested the skull-capacity machine and studied the skull-capacity problem in general; studied the vertebral column in the Eskimo; and continued research on the hair directions of primates. DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS Four gifts made to other institutions included 72 specimens. One lot consisted of prehistoric Eskimo objects collected in dupli- cate by Dr. Hrdlitka and Mr. Collins. Two small gifts represent- ing the history of the Japanese Red Cross Society were made to the National Red Cross Museum of Washington, D.C., and a large collection was sent to the City Museum of Talladega, Ala. Sixteen specimens were transferred to the divisions of textiles and archeology, During the year eight lots of archeological material (612 speci- mens) were sent out in exchange or as gifts to educational institu- tions, as follows: 104 specimens (gift) for scientific purposes to Rev. David C. Graham, Suifu, Szechwan, China; 167 specimens (gift) to the City Museum of Talladega, Ala.; 1 cast of a slate tube to Dr. Charles Back, Montezuma, Ind., in exchange for permission to make and retain a cast of the original; 4 lots of potsherds (gift) to the Antelope Valley Museum, Lancaster, Calif.; 3 casts of Easter Island wooden tablets as a gift to the Musée d’Ethnographie, Palais du Trocadero, Paris; 4 casts (2 sendings) to W. J. Curtis, Piqua, Ky., in exchange for permission to make similar replicas; 329 Old World archeological specimens (gift) to the Hastings College Museum, Hast- ngs, Nebr. NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DEPARTMENT During the year the department received 131 accessions, a total of 4,877 specimens. Of these, 4 accessions comprising 510 specimens were loans. The material was distributed as follows: Ethnology, 48 accessions (961 specimens); archeology, 64 accessions (2,737 specimens); physical anthropology, 18 accessions (658 specimens); musical instruments, 2 accessions (2 specimens); ceramics, 7 ac- cessions (378 specimens) ; and art textiles, 8 accessions (141 specimens).

Thanks to Eldridge R. Johnson’s initiative and offer of the use of his yacht Caroline, together with generous funds for its equipment for oceanographic work, the first Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition, under the direction of Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of mollusks, made a successful cruise of exploration of the Puerto Rican Deep, which resulted in greatly enriching the Museum collections, in addition to giving observations bearing on biological, chemical, and physical problems of the ocean. Capt. G. Allan Hancock generously offered the Museum participa- tion in the Hancock Galapagos expedition on the yacht Velero III during a 3-months’ oceanographic cruise to the Galapagos Islands and the western coast of Central America. Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, curator of marine invertebrates, was detailed for this service and returned with much valuable material, chiefly crustacean, for the Museum collections. ACCESSIONS FOR THE YEAR There were 1,200 accessions for the year with a total of 295,782 specimens, more than double the number received during the previ- ous year. Through the two expeditions alluded to, the scientific importance of the invertebrate material is probably greater than that of the vertebrate, though the high scientific value of some of the fish collections should be emphasized, as well as the acquisition of material of various classes from French Indo-China, important on account of the locality being hitherto poorly represented in the Museum. Dr. Hugh M. Smith’s collections of Siamese mammals, birds, and mollusks maintain their standing as first-class contribu- tions, and the first collections from Dr. D. C. Graham after his return to his old field in China are coming up to the expectations raised by previous experience. Many of the plant collections ac- cessioned during the year are scientifically of a high order. Mammals.—The outstanding accession was the skull, with six blades of baleen, of the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus), col- lected by J. A. Ford at Point Barrow, Alaska. This is the first skull of its kind to come to any museum from the Pacific side of 94 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 95 the Arctic Ocean, and the only bowhead in any American museum, while in European museums the species is represented by less than half a dozen specimens. From Dr. Hugh M. Smith in Siam 151 mammals, supplementing the large collections of previous years, were received. By exchange with H. J. V. Sody, Buitenzorg, Java, 59 mammal skins with skulls from Java and Celebes, were obtained, mostly forms new to the Museum. W. G. Sheldon and Richard Borden presented 63 specimens collected in British Columbia. Dr. R. K. Enders collected in Panama 51 mammals for the- Museum, two species being new to the region. Noteworthy among the many specimens obtained from the National Zoological Park by transfer were a young mountain gorilla, Cacajao calvus, Hylobates agilis, and a young fur seal born at the park. Two gibbons (Hylobates hoolock), a species new to the Museum, were obtained in exchange, and a skele- ton of a dugong, from Australia, by purchase. Birds.—The 456 birdskins and 2 skeletons from Siam sent by Dr. Hugh M. Smith take first place. James Ford collected 169 bird- skins in Alaska, and Dr. A. Wetmore 95 skins and 38 skeletons in the southwestern United States, besides about 100 local birds. A number of species and genera new to the Museum were obtained by exchange, including an Hawaiian honey creeper (Paroreomyza jflammea), 10 forms of hummingbirds, and 13 of other birds. A skin and skeleton of the rare Hawaiian goose (Nesochen sandvicensis) were presented by the Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry at Honolulu, and the first known nestling wandering tattlers (Hetero- scelus incanus), collected by Joseph S. Dixon, came from the National Park Service. Among transfers of specimens from the National Zoological Park was an egg of the California condor. Eggs of 148 forms hitherto not represented in the Museum were obtained in exchange. Percy Shufeldt placed a valuable collection of 2,316 birdskins on deposit in the division. Reptiles and amphibians.—The largest additions of the year came from Dr. C. E. Burt, the most important being collected for the Museum during a trip to the upper reaches of the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers, when he obtained 1,491 specimens. He also donated 1,325 specimens from the West. An important collection from Puerto Rico containing topotype material of some recently described frogs was the result of G. S. Miller’s visit to that island early in 1932. Three small herpetological collections obtained from French Indo-China are highly important as the locality was not represented in the Museum collections previously, except for a few specimens recently received. From the National Zoological Park the division received by transfer an unusually interesting lot of animals, among which is a series of the pipa, or Surinam toad. A splendidly preserved series of Californian Batrachoseps is of great 96 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 value for the study of that difficult group of salamanders. A good collection of reptiles and amphibians from Kansas was contributed by H. K. Gloyd. Fishes—Of special importance was the fine collection of fishes — obtained by the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition off Puerto Rico, containing many remarkable deep-sea forms, among them a new genus and species of Triacanthidae, the second one of. the family to be recorded from the New World. Another collection of great interest is a lot of 67 specimens presented by Dr. George 8S. Myers, assistant curator of fishes, consisting mostly of type specimens of West African and South American fresh-water fishes described by the donor and others. Holotypes of 2 species, cotypes of 8, and paratypes of 13 are included. Altogether this accession brings to the Museum 26 species, 13 genera, and 1 family hitherto not represented in its collections. From the United States Bureau of Fisheries a fine series of 1,177 fishes from the Catawba and Tuckasegee Rivers, N.C., including the type of a new darter, and another let consisting of 3 type specimens from the Gulf of Mexico, were received by transfer. C. R. Aschemeier obtained 1,959 fresh-water fishes in Florida, partly collected for the Museum, partly as a gift. The British Museum presented two paratypes of Notobranchius kiyawensis. Two paratypes of a new smelt were a gift from Dr. L. P. Schultz, of the University of Washington. A specimen of Gempylus serpens, a species new to the Museum, was presented by Hastham Guild, Papeete, Tahiti. From Dr. D. C. Graham came a collection of fishes from Szechwan, China. . Insects—The outstanding accession of the year was the Edward T. Owen collection of Lepidoptera, comprising about 40,000 beauti- fully preserved specimens and including many species new to the Museum. The collection represents the life work of Professor Owen and was received from the executor of his estate. Frank Johnson, of New York City, made several gifts of rare species of Lepidoptera of great value, numbering in all 1,030 specimens, of species not previ- ously in the Museum or poorly represented. Two important dona- tions of Microlepidoptera, including about 600 specimens each, were obtained from the British Museum and Edward Meyrick. M. W. Stirling, Chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology, brought back from his South American trip 350 Lepidoptera from Peru. The collection of the late Prof. P. R. Lowry, Durham, N.H., comprising 908 slides of insects, mostly plant lice, was donated by his widow. By exchange with O. Ringdahl, Haelsingborg, Sweden, 273 named Diptera of the family Anthomyiidae, in which he is a distinguished specialist, were obtained, an accession furnishing a large representation of the northern European fauna. Two lots of miscellaneous insects, comprising about 3,800 specimens, came from Indo-China, an im- REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 97 portant addition as the Museum has little material from that region. L. D. Christenson, Wellsville, Utah, donated a collection of 4,550 Cuban insects, and D. S. Bullock of Angol, Chile, continued his liberal contributions. About 15,000 insects were transferred to the Museum by the United States Bureau of Entomology, being mis- cellaneous material received for identification from field workers. Marine invertebrates —The total number of specimens received was 15,160, of which the following accessions were of special interest: From the estate of the late Dr. Charles Dwight Marsh, his important collection of 3,307 slide mounts of copepods was acquired, inciuding representative material of 26 new species. Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, New York City, presented a large collection of miscellaneous marine invertebrates taken in northwest Greenland waters. Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt collected series of specimens at the Tortugas, Fla., and also a large collection of Crustacea from the Galapagos Islands, during the cruise of the Velero III, of which mention has already been made. The collections brought home by the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition, under direction of Dr. Paul Bartsch, were highly impor- tant. Dr. R. E. Coker, University of North Carolina, presented alcoholic specimens of copepods, comprising holotypes, paratypes, and other important material representative of species to be de- scribed by him. P. Hummelinck, of Utrecht, Holland, contributed 85 crustaceans, including types, from the Dutch islands off the coast of Venezuela. The deposition of type specimens of new species included the type of a new sponge, by Dr. James T. Penney, University of South Carolina; the type of new species of crab, described by Dr. Mary J. Rathbun, donated by the Museu Paulista, Sao Paulo, Brazil; and the type and 3 paratypes of a new species of parasitic copepod by Wilbur M. Tidd, Ohio State University. An important collection of 60 microscopic slide mounts and 49 alcoholic specimens of isopods was obtained from Dr. K. W. Verhoeff, Pasing, Bavaria. Mollusks —One of the most important accessions of the year is that of 5,550 mollusks taken principally from the Puerto Rican Deep, during the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition. Four acces- sions, 100,500 specimens, are credited to the Frances Lea Chamber- lain fund, including material from the Maynard collection of Cerions. Dr. Hugh M. Smith contributed 575 specimens of mollusks from Siam; Brother Daniel, Colegio de San José, Medellin, Colombia, 66 specimens of land, fresh-water, and marine shells; and Walter F. Webb, Rochester, N.Y., 161 specimens from the United States and Australia. A donation from Mrs. Isabel B. Hendry, Rosslyn, Va., contains about 3,100 specimens of land, fresh-water, and marine shells, and 1 from Miss Florence S. Gilson, Nyack, N.Y., 1,400 specimens, mostly marine mollusks. From Dr. C. G. Aguayo, Habana, Cuba, were received 67 specimens of land shells from that 98 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 island, and from the zoological section of the University of Stellen- bosch, South Africa, 140 specimens. The type and paratype of a new fresh-water mussel from Florida were presented by Berlin Hart Wright, Penn Yan, N.Y.; 16 paratypes from Santo Domingo by Dr. H. A. Pilsbry, Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and 3 cotypes from the Philippine Islands by Dr. Fred Baker, Point Loma, Calif. Corals —More than 200 specimens were received, nearly all from the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition. Helminths.—The total number of helminths accessioned is 1,068. Echinoderms.—The most important of the 10 accessions received during the year is that from the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition, including a large number of specimens of species from moderately deep water in the Caribbean region that have not been collected since the explorations of the Blake in 1877-80, the Albatross in 1884-87, and the Fish Hawk in 1899. Plants —Accessions for the year comprised 56,125 specimens, most important of which are as follows: 24,124 specimens were transferred by the United States Department of Agriculture, mostly from the Bureau of Plant Industry, 4,062 being grasses and 15,308 Argentine specimens collected by Venturi. About 3,600 duplicate specimens of the historic Mutis Herbarium, received as an exchange with the Botanical Garden at Madrid, Spain, through the efforts of E. P. Killip, will be of great importance in the study of South American plants. A considerable number of South American plants were obtained from the British Museum (Natural History). Several other tropical American collections were received in exchange, among them 765 specimens of the Ecklon-Zeyler expedition from the Natural History Museum at Vienna, Austria; 530 plants from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England; 984 plants from the Botanical Museum at Copenhagen, Denmark; 1,141 specimens from the Natural History Riksmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden; 1,257 specimens, mainly from Peru, from the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago; 1,709 specimens from British Honduras, Guatemala, and Sumatra from the University of Michigan. Similarly, 1,619 Chinese plants were received from Lingnan University, Canton, and 500 from the University of Nanking, China; 744 plants collected in the Hawaiian, Fiji, and Society Islands from the Bernice P. Bishop Museum in Honolulu; and 886 mainly Chinese, West African, and Cuban plants from the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University. C. V. Morton collected 1,897 plants for the Museum at Oaxaca, Mexico, with the assistance of Dr. Emil Makrinius. The University of Vermont gave the National Herbarium 306 specimens collected in Mexico by C. G. Pringle, the lot consisting of numbers not previously represented in the collections. Among the numerous gifts by institutions and REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 99 individuals were 464 specimens from the Death Valley region, Calif., by the National Geographic Society; 470 specimens from Nicaragua, by the Instituto Pedagégico de Varones, Managua; 449 specimens from the Santa Marta region, Colombia, by Dr. William Seifriz, University of Pennsylvania; 279 specimens from eastern Peru, by Guillermo Klug, Iquitos; 244 specimens from Colombia, by Baltazar Guevara Amortegui; 341 specimens from Panama, by Brother Paul, Colegio de la Salle; and 576 specimens from the State of Washington, by J. Wiliam Thompson, Seattle. INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS The main work of the taxidermists was the mounting of a hippo- potamus and the construction of a biological group of the Haitian ground iguana. The District of Columbia faunal exhibit continued under the care of Dr. Bartsch, who kept it current and made additions, ‘notably a mounted specimen of the Louisiana heron. Additional half-unit cases were supplied in the division of mammals for the rearrangement of the primate skins, all of which are now grouped together. Considerable work was done in rearranging smaller mammal skins, especially rodents and carnivores. The skeleton collection also was rearranged. The carnivore and larger rodent skulls of the Merriam collection, which has hitherto been kept intact as a separate unit, were intercalated in the general collection. Twelve large and medium-sized mammal skins were tanned on outside - contract, and 13 skins were tanned by taxidermists of the Museum, who also degreased and made up 79 skins, skinned or prepared for skeletons 26 mammals, and removed 15 sets of gibbon leg bones. Fifty-five skeletons, mostly large, 145 skulls, and 14 sets of leg bones were cleaned. Contract work on small and medium-sized skulls and skeletons resulted in cleaning 695 skulls and 130 skeletons. About two thirds of the birdskins received during the year were distributed in the study series. Of collections previously held up as separate units awaiting identification and study, the nonpasserine birds of the Roosevelt and Aschemeier African collections were identi- fied and distributed. About one fourth of the large Siamese collec- tions was worked up and distributed, as well as the rest of the Museum’s Chinese birds. The skeletal material collected by H. B. Collins, Jr., on St. Lawrence Island was also identified. The work of expanding and rearranging the crowded parts of the study series included many groups of birds. The collection of alcoholic specimens was completely overhauled and all unidentified material culled out. The work of the preparators included skinning 108 birds, degreasing and remaking 158 skins, mounting two birds for the District collec- tion, cleaning 292 skeletons, skeletonizing 220 birds, and blowing 40 eggs. 100 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 In the division of reptiles and batrachians, 6,310 newly identified specimens were incorporated in the collection. Dry preparations were added to the turtle collection as follows: 6 skeletons, 121 skulls, 59 shells; 71 study skins were also prepared, and a number of other reptile skins and skeletons made. The division of fishes, during the vacancy caused by B. A. Bean’s retirement on June 30, 1932, was ably cared for by E. D. Reid, under the immediate supervision of the head curator, until Dr. G. S. Myers, the new assistant curator, took charge. The large collection, mostly of Albatross fishes, for many years at Stanford University for study by the late David Starr Jordan and Charles Henry Gilbert, was packed and forwarded to Washington by Dr. Myers. Dr. J. M. Aldrich, curator of insects, whose work was confined to Diptera, considerably improved the arrangement of several families. Dr. Alan Stone transferred all the mosquito collection to standard museum insect drawers and metal-covered cases and further rear- ranged the family Tabanidae. In the Coleoptera, H. A. Barber rearranged and expanded special groups and made a preliminary rearrangement of Philippine hispids. Dr. M. W. Blackman rear- ranged the Museum collection of 22 genera of the family Scolytidae. Dr. A. G. Béving continued to supervise the coleopterous larval collection. Nearly 3,000 jars of this material have been prepared and filled in the past 2 years. L. L. Buchanan studied and rearranged specimens of Hylobius and Lepidophorus, of the carabid genus Monoferonia, of the long series of granary weevils of the genus Sitophilus, and of the coffee-bean weevil. In addition he selected a synoptic series of the species of the genus Calendra and identified and arranged more than 3,000 North American specimens of the weevil genus Apion. Dr. E. A. Chapin made progress in arrange- ment of the scarabaeid beetles of the subfamilies Melolonthinae, Dynastinae, and Cetoniinae. W.S. Fisher completed rearrangement of the Mexican, Central American, and South American species of Cerambycidae and rearranged and to some extent classified the Oriental Cerambycidae. In Lepidoptera the specialists proceeded with the incorporation of the great Owen collection into the general Museum series. Foster H. Benjamin consolidated all the North American Noctuidae of the subfamily Catocalinae, which now occupies 67 large drawers and 36 standard museum drawers. A similar rearrangement for the North American Noctuidae of the subfamily Agrotinae was partially com- pleted. August Busck completed the incorporation of the Micro- lepidoptera from the Barnes collection into the general Museum series. Carl Heinrich added the Barnes collection material of the subfamilies Calleriinae and Macrothecinae to the general collection. Dr. William Schaus was active in expanding and rearranging the exotic Macro- REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 101 lepidoptera in order to care for the additional specimens that have become available during the year. He also completed a new arrange- ment of the family Epiplemidae and did much work on the Owen collection. In Hymenoptera R. A. Cushman expanded and rearranged some of the groups and subfamilies in the Ichneumonidae. A. B. Gahan undertook some rearrangement due to the addition of material. C. F. W. Muesebeck arranged the Braconidae of the subfamily Aphidiinae and the exotic specimens of the subfamily Microgasterinae. Miss Grace A. Sandhouse completely rearranged the collections of aculeates. In addition, the aculeate Hymenoptera of the old Fitch collection were worked over and incorporated into the regular Museum collections. The North American material of the genus Pemphredon was identified and arranged; and the neotropical species of Try- poxylon were incorporated in the collection. Many undetermined Psammocharidae were sorted and grouped into genera, and the ‘North American specimens of the genus Pepsis were identified and arranged. In orthopteroids and neuropteroids, A. N. Caudell continued arrangement of the regular Museum material and made some progress in working up the Baker Philippine material. Dr. H. E. Ewing undertook to arrange the spider collection and sorted out and properly segregated various mixed lots of material in the groups assigned to him. In Hemiptera, H. G. Barber rearranged the entire Heteroptera collection. He now has the true bugs in a satisfactory natural order so that material is readily accessible. P. W. Oman rearranged Museum material in the Homoptera, involving various United States and Canadian Fulgoridae, and supervised the transfer of the extensive North American Psyllidae collection to trays and partly rearranged this material. He also arranged the South American species of leaf- hoppers of the genus Agallia and its relatives, as well as a large part of the West Indian and Central American Cicadellidae. The alcoholic collection in the division of marine invertebrates is in excellent shape, owing chiefly to the efficient services of the laborer recently assigned to the division. Temporary clerical assistance made it possible to bring the cataloging of identified specimens about up to date. Work on the study collection of the division of mollusks has progressed steadily but slowly. Members of the zoological division staff of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry gave the helminthological collection its periodical overhauling. The usual curatorial work was done in the collection of echinoderms. About 25,000 mounted phanerogams were added to the main herbarium, mostly recent South American material; 33,883 mounted specimens were stamped and recorded, preparatory to incorporation in the collection. The segregation of type specimens of American 102 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 phanerogams was continued by E. P. Killip and E. H. Walker, 18,768 types of new species and varieties having now been labeled, cataloged, and placed in heavy individual covers. Also 4,225 photographs of type specimens of American plants in other herbaria (chiefly Euro- pean) were mounted separately on herbarium sheets for distribution into the herbarium. As in previous years, E. C. Leonard, in addition to his ordinary duties, regularly devoted some time to the moss collec- tion, and recently began similar curatorial work on the Hepaticae, of which a large number await incorporation in the herbarium. The C. G. Lloyd mycological collection has been maintained in accordance with the terms of agreement under which it was deposited. There is great need of a comprehensive index of Mr. Lloyd’s mycologi- cal writings, which consist to a great extent of scattered notes, the indexes to the separate volumes into which his writings were collected being neither complete nor uniform in style. Manuscript of a detailed index to the seven volumes was therefore prepared during the year and will be issued shortly by the Lloyd Library at Cincinnati. As a further step in clarifying and rounding out Mr. Lloyd’s myco- logical work, a complete list of his new fungus species and new com- binations, totaling about 1,500, is being made. This will include for each species (1) citation of place of publication; (2) other references in the literature by Lloyd and other mycologists, with comment; (3) citation of type and other specimens, with accompanying data. This work, to be ready shortly, will also be published by the Lloyd Library. During the year 22,290 specimens were mounted by adhesive straps, all but 6,100 of these by contract; 3,412 specimens were glued (by contract); and 28,428 fully prepared specimens were turned out, all of which were stamped and recorded and are now ready for incorporation in the herbarium. Of material intended for the herbarium, there are on hand more than 20,000 specimens that are wholly unmounted; also 2,500 that have been glued but not stamped. ; RESEARCH BY MEMBERS OF THE STAFF The research of G. S. Miller, Jr., curator of mammals, was on the primates. The large collection of gibbons (mostly brought together by Dr. W. L. Abbott) was reexamined and reidentified in the light of recent studies by Pocock and Kloss; and a special study of the remarkable color variation was made. A short note on the classi- fication of the gibbons was published. The opportunity to examine a fresh gorilla’s foot, afforded by the death of a young mountain gorilla in the Zoological Park, furnished the stimulus to a new study of the problem of the origin of the human foot (whether or not from a mechanical type like that found in the great apes). Dr. Remington Kellogg reexamined and identified the hair seals in the Museum col- REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 103 jection; prepared for publication three reports on cetaceans in the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art, the Condon Museum of the University of Oregon, and the Field Museum of Natural History; and cooperated with specialists in other groups in the preparation of a tentative draft of the zones comprising the California Tertiary. The curator of birds, Dr. Herbert Friedmann, completed work on the birds collected by the Smithsonian African expedition under Theodore Roosevelt, and also the report on the birds collected in Gaboon by the Garner expedition. He also reported on a large col- lection of bird bones from St. Lawrence Island, and on three smaller lots from the mainland of Alaska and from Kodiak Island; and began work on the remaining parts of Ridgway’s unfinished work ‘‘The Birds of North and Middle America” and nearly completed the compilation of literature for all the groups remaining to be published on. He also wrote papers relating to the nictitating membrane of the domestic pigeon, to parasitic cowbirds and cuckoos, to early observations on North American birds, to racial variations in certain African shrikes, to the display of Wallace’s bird of paradise, and other subjects. The associate curator, J. H. Riley, studied and identified the large collections of Siamese birds sent in by Dr. H. M. Smith and published descriptions and notes on some of the novelties and more interesting forms. A. C. Bent, collaborator, completed the manuscript of the tenth volume of his ‘‘ Life Histories of North Ameri- can Birds”, on part of the falconiform birds. Dr. Wetmore pub- lished on the birds collected by the Parish-Smithsonian expedition in Cuba and Haiti; described several new forms of fossil birds from North America; continued his editorial work on Swann’s ‘‘Mono- graph of the Accipitres’’, part of which was issued during the year; and wrote various other articles. The curator of reptiles and batrachians, Dr. L. Stejneger, worked on a revision of the Testudinata of North and Middle America; finished a report on some collections from the Galapagos Islands and Polynesia; and in collaboration with Dr. Thomas Barbour, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, brought out the third edition of their ‘‘Check List of North American Amphibians and Reptiles.” Dr. Doris M. Cochran, assistant curator, completed a report on the herpetology of Hispaniola and published several descriptive papers on new species. Dr. G. S. Myers, assistant curator of fishes, nearly completed a revision of the genera of oviparous cyprinodonts, a group of small fishes of great value'in the destruction of malarial and yellow-fever mosquitoes in the Tropics. He also began work on the deep-sea fishes obtained by the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition and on the fishes from western China collected by Dr. D. C. Graham. 104 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 Dr. J. M. Aldrich, curator of insects, prepared a paper on the dipterous family Tachinidae of the Patagonian region, based on our material and that of the British Museum; published several short papers describing new species from various parts of the world and including notes on synonymy and nomenclature; made a catalog of the muscoid flies of the Old World except Europe; and studied the species of botflies of the genus Cuterebra, in collaboration with Maj. E. E. Austen, of the British Museum. C. T. Greene worked on a revision of the genus Anastrepha of the family Trypetidae, of definite importance because of the discovery of members of the genus in the southernmost parts of the United States, including Florida and the Brownsville area in Texas. Foster H. Benjamin completed a manuscript discussing the classification and biology of the native Trypetidae of Florida, based on extensive collections made during the effort of the Department of Agriculture to exterminate the Mediterranean fruit fly. Dr. Alan Stone undertook a critical revi- sionary study of the genus Tabanus. Dr. A. G. Béving prepared numerous notes on and illustrations of beetle larvae, including two Puerto Rican species of Phyllophaga, the coccinellid beetle Ortalistes rubidus, and the larvae of Rhinomacer pilosus, Tetrigus fleutiauar, and Nicabiwm castaneum. One paper, describing the larva of the coccinellid beetle Decadiomus pictus, was published. L. L. Buchanan began a critical revisional study of the weevil genus Conotrachelus. Dr. E. A. Chapin prepared a key to the species of Chlaenobia present in the Museum collections, and continued his revisional work on various groups of West Indian Scarabaeidae, especially on those of Puerto Rico. W.S. Fisher completed a study on the genus Hxocentrus from Java, prepared descriptions for a number of new species of Mexican Buprestidae, and made minor studies in various small groups to facilitate identification. In the section of Lepidoptera, Dr. W. Schaus continued study of the Puerto Rican Macrolepidoptera, in the course of which he pre- pared descriptions for many new species. Foster H. Benjamin worked on various North American lepidopterous groups, and pre- pared a number of short papers. August Busck continued work on the family Tortricidae and took up the genus Aristotelia, which con- tains a number of species of economic importance. Carl Heinrich continued study of American Phycitinae. R.A. Cushman undertook a revision of the genus Polyaenus, did some work on the tribes Lissonotini and Glyptini, and published one paper on the identity of several Oriental parasitic ichneumonids of economic importance. A. B. Gahan devoted much time to a paper on the parasites of the Hessian fly. ©. F. W. Muesebeck worked on a revision of the braconid subfamily Euphorinae and progressed in work on the sub- family Exothecinae and the genus Rogas. Miss Grace A. Sandhouse REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 105 continued studies on the North American Halictinae, particularly on certain subgenera of the genus Halictus, during .which she made many dissections and from these permanent preparations for the collection. She completed work on the North American Augochlora and worked out a synoptic key to the North American Pemphredon. William Middleton worked on sawflies and prepared descriptions of some new species. A. N. Caudell published a report on the Orthoptera of the Pinchot expedition; carried on some investigational work on neuropteroids, in the course of which he prepared a description for one new species; and studied specimens of Decticinae from California. He finished and submitted for publication an alphabetical index to the orthop- terous insects of North America published subsequent to the year 1900 to and including 1925. — Dr. H. E. Ewing made taxonomic studies on both mites and suck- ing-lice during the year, during which he completed for publication four papers on the classification of various genera or groups. In Hemiptera H. G. Barber carried on investigations in a variety of groups, including Nearctic and Neotropical Phymatidae, Neo- tropical Coreidae, Notonectidae and Belostomatidae (with the assist- ance of Prof. H. B. Hungerford), and Halobatinae, in connection with the Carnegie Plankton expedition, and made considerable prog- ress with the study of the races of the chinch bug (lissus leucopterus Say). P. W. Oman undertook preliminary studies in a number of genera in both the Cicadellidae and the Fulgoridae. His most important contribution during the year is an extensive paper on classification of the North American agallian leafhoppers. Dr. P. W. Mason continued his study of the aphid tribe Macrosiphina. In the division of marine invertebrates, Dr. Mary J. Rathbun, associate in zoology, was actively engaged in the preparation of the fourth of her series of comprehensive monographs on American crabs. In addition she determined nearly all the current sendings of recent Brachyura and fossil Crustacea and submitted for publication a paper describing seven new species from the Gulf of California. Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, curator, published a review of the distribution of the larger fresh-water shrimps of the United States, and also prepared for publication the new species in his report on the macruran and ano- muran Crustacea of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and an account of two new species of pycnogonids. A revision of the genus Hmerita was likewise submitted for publication. The assistant curator, C. R. Shoemaker, completed several studies on amphipods; others he has in progress, with a view to bringing taxonomic knowledge of these long neglected Crustacea up to date for the east coast of North America. The report being prepared by J. O. Maloney, aide, on the isopods collected in the course of the various expeditions that Capt. 16528—33—8 106 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 R. A. Bartlett has made to Greenland in the past several years is rapidly approaching completion, while his descriptions of two new species of isopod crustaceans from California appeared in print during the year. Dr. J. A. Cushman, honorary collaborator, made progress on further parts of his monographs of the tropical Pacific foraminifera. In addition to handling a large volume of paleontological material, he identified various lots of recent foraminifera. Dr. W. H. Longley, collaborator, spent nearly 4 months abroad, chiefly in London, Paris, and Berlin, in part in connection with his studies on evolution. Most of the time of the curator of mollusks, Dr. Paul Bartsch, was required in planning, equipping, and directing the Johnson- Smithsonian deep-sea expedition and in caring for the material obtained. The identification of material sent in for report occupied the time of the rest of the staff not otherwise taken up by curatorial duties. = The curator of echinoderms, Austin H. Clark, continued work on parts 4 and 5 of his monograph of the existing crinoids, with a view to their completion in the near future, and studied and indentified a part of the material collected by the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition. In the division of plants Dr. W. R. Maxon, associate curator, carried on studies of tropical American ferns; E. P. Killip, associate curator, continued work on a monograph of the American species of Passifloraceae, besides studies of certain genera of Urticaceae and Boraginaceae; E. C. Leonard, assistant curator, studied West Indian flora; C. V. Morton, aide, investigated several tropical American families of phanerogams, especially the Solanaceae; and HE. H. Walker, aide, practically finished a revision of Chinese Myrsinaceae, besides carrying on bibliographic work. Here may be mentioned also the study by Mr. Killip of a series of about 3,600 duplicate specimens of the historic Mutis Herbarium received from the Jardin Botanico, Madrid, through his active interest. The Mutis collection, made in Colombia between 1760 and 1808, contains specimens upon which many early species were proposed. In return for the valuable dupli- cates sent to this Institution, Mr. Killip has undertaken to identify the specimens, and to date has reported upon about 2,000 of the 3,600 received. DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS Duplicate specimens distributed to museums, high schools, colleges, and similar institutions aggregated 1,351 specimens and 43,578 exchanges were sent out, of which 1,073 were zoological specimens. The 42,505 plants distributed went to 104 institutions and corre- spondents, of which 46 were in the United States, and 58 in 22 countries abroad. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DEPARTMENT The number of specimens under the department of biology, so far as has been ascertained by count and estimate, is now more than 10,800,000. The actual number is probably much greater, since several collections, as the corals, have not been included, nor does the number of plants given below include duplicates and unmounted material of the lower cryptogams. as those of marine invertebrates and mollusks, lots consisting of minute organisms are frequently counted as single specimens though they may contain hundreds or even thousands of individuals, the enumeration of which would serve no useful purpose.

Basser, Head Curator) The past year was notable for the quantity and value of geological material acquired, particularly in the mineralogical division, where several endowment funds were used rather freely to take advantage of favorable market conditions. In quality of specimens acquired through field work and exchange, this has been the most outstanding year in the history of the division of vertebrate paleontology. Ex- plorations were undertaken in both of the paleontological divisions and in the mineralogical division, the latter under the auspices of the Canfield fund. All resulted in the acquisition of desirable material both for exhibition and study. ACCESSIONS In both specimens and accessions the aggregate is greater than last year, numbering 255 accessions with an estimated total of 35,555 specimens. The number for the various divisions is as follows: Mineralogy and petrology, 100 accessions, 728 specimens; geology, systematic and applied, 33 accessions, 706 specimens; stratigraphic paleontology, 92 accessions, 33,805 specimens; vertebrate paleontol- ogy, 30 accessions, 316 specimens. The year’s accessions include the following minerals not previously represented: Alkansul, alleghanyite, ardealite, bianchite (type), corvusite (type), galaxite, leucophosphite, minyulite, oxykertschenite, pisekite, rilandite (type), rosickyite, and tuhualite. There were 31 accessions to the Roebling collection through the income from the Roebling fund, totaling 114 specimens. Perhaps the finest item is a 2-pound pink spodumene (kunzite) of good crystal form and almost flawless. Four fine black opals from Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, are partly polished to show the wonderful fire that makes these Australian stones most highly prized of all opals. ‘Two 1.7-carat diamonds were added to the American series, 1 from Huntsville, Tex., and 1 from the gold washings of Brown County, Ind. A fine cinnamon-brown crystal of topaz from Burma weighs 24% pounds. A huge mass of native copper from the Lake Superior region shows numerous unusually large and well-formed crystals. Other noteworthy additions are a specimen of quartz with attached crystals of euclase and topaz from Brazil; 3 speci- mens of California gold showing unusually fine crystals; a beautiful 108 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 109 crystal of pink and green tourmaline from Madagascar; and 2 large loose crystals of the rare silicate euclase from Brazil. Through the interest of Gilbert LaBine, discoverer of the rich radium deposits at Great Bear Lake, Canada, a 75-pound mass of the radium ore pitch- blende, crusted with colorful alteration products, and a rich mass of . native silver from the same locality, were added. Several fine-cut gems were acquired through the Roebling fund, including a rare Brazilian rose-red topaz of 18 carats, a Madagascar ruby tourmaline of 30 carats, a flawless Brazilian pink tourmaline of 62 carats, and an unusual pink amethyst of 49 carats. To the Canfield collection through the Canfield fund came 13 accessions totaling 235 specimens. The outstanding one comprises three masses of crystallized gold from Breckenridge, Colo., the largest being a slab of fine mossy leaf gold weighing 22.6 troy ounces. A large group of brilliant azurite crystals from Aranzazu, Zacatecas, Mexico, was obtained through the interest of Samuel Sokobin, American consul at Saltillo, Coahuila. Other notable specimens are a group of azurite crystals; a crystal of cerussite from Tsumeb, Southwest Africa; the copper oxychloride atacamite from Chile; a rare phosphate of iron, strengite, and the phosphate of lead, pyromorphite, in unusually large crystals, both from Germany; a group of large and brilliant crystals of tin oxide, cassiterite, on a white quartz crystal base, from New South Wales; a huge crystal of pyrite from Arizona; and a rich example of the rare manganese silicate ganophyllite from Franklin, N.J. Over 200 Bolivian minerals, including excellent crystallized cassiterite, ferberite, and bismuthinite also were acquired. The finest stone added to the Isaac Lea collection, through the Frances Lea Chamberlain fund, is a flawless golden beryl! of fine color from Madagascar, weighing 46 carats. Also, 2 red tourmalines from Madagascar, an engraved emerald of 11 carats, an old carving in Burmese amber, a rare ruby-red feldspar, and 2 unusually deep- colored citrine quartzes were added. Other additions to the gem collection include 3 cabochons of white grossularite garnets, 3 of Whitby jet, 3 of amazonstone, and several pieces of jaspar. The Oregon Agate and Mineral Society contributed-an unusual cut agate showing iridescent rainbow colors; Martin L. Ehrmann presented a dish of yellow precious serpentine; and John H. Willing 3 gold stickpins fashioned as a pick, a shovel, and a pan, stated to have been made in 1855 and worn by early California gold miners. A huge quartz geode, almost 3 feet in diameter and with a crystal- lined cavity 18 inches deep, from Keokuk, Iowa, was presented by William M. Thomas and his son, Beverly Thomas. Mr. Thomas, a veteran geode collector, states that this is the finest geode he has ever seen. W. E. Lockhart gave a huge slab of amazonstone, meas- 110 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN: INSTITUTION, 1933 uring about 3 feet square, from Colorado. The following persons likewise added unusually fine material to the collection: Ernest Schernikow, a slab of precious opal from Honduras; F. F. Bradley, a fine group of celestite crystals from Clay Center, Ohio; Mark Bandy, a large specimen of the rare iron sulphate quetenite, from Chile; Boodle Lane, a specimen of galena showing parallel growth, and John C. Wells, specimens of new phosphate minerals from the Black Hills. Twenty-two specimens, including 14 falls new to the collection, were added to the meteorite series. Two of exceptional interest are from Meteor Crater, Canyon Diablo, Ariz., one a complete individual weighing 1,011 pounds, one of the largest masses recovered at this famous crater, the other the mass from which were obtained the first diamonds found in a meteorite. Another example is the largest individual of a shower that fell at Archie, Mo., on August 10, 1932, during the Perseid meteor shower. This is the second known instance of the fall of a meteorite during a meteor shower. Other meteorite accessions are one half (23% pounds) of the Altonah, Utah, fall; Beardsley, Kans. (945 grams); Bear Lodge, Wyo. (3,120 grams); Bencubbin, Australia (242 grams); Coya Norte, Chile (16 pounds 10 ounces); Henbury, Australia (31 pounds); Huizopa, Mexico (2,774 grams); Melrose, N.Mex. (990 grams); Nagy Vazsony, Hungary (36 grams); New Almelo, N. Mex. (1,550 grams); Oroville, Calif. (262 grams); Pinon, N.Mex. (1,410 grams); and Tlacatopec, Mexico (2,430 grams), acquired through exchanges and gifts. The United States Geological Survey transferred several described sets of rocks and ores, the following districts being represented: Elhjay quadrangle, North Carolina; eastern Oregon; Squaw Creek, Silver Peak, and Antonio districts, Oregon; and southwestern Idaho. Through the interest of Dr. Josiah Bridge, the Museum obtained from Ramie Inman two large blocks of a handsome diabase porphyry from Fredericktown, Mo. Dr. Robert W. Sayles presented two large exhibition blocks of a glacial conglomerate, the Squantum tillite, and Dr. Tom Barth collected two large exhibition blocks of gneiss in Norway. The outstanding accessions in economic geology are as follows: A pegmatite dike from Ohio City, Colo., containing large sheets of lepidolite mica obtained through E. B. Eckel, of the United States Geological Survey, from Messrs. Werner and Disberger, of Ohio City; a 600-pound mass of gold ore from the Homestake Mining Co., Lead, S.Dak.; two large and colorful potash ores, sylvinite and carnallite, from the Minas de Potasa de Suria, Spain; several speci- mens of halite and related minerals from Hallstatt, Austria, sent by Bergrat Karl Krieger; a series of copper ores and minerals including some large specimens from Butte, Mont., presented by A. L. Bigley and A. EK. Blair, of the Anaconda Copper Co.; and a number of REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 111 specially selected Bisbee copper ores from William P. Crawford, of Bisbee, Ariz. Frank L. Hess, honorary custodian of rare metals, continued his interest by adding over 50 specimens of rare metal ores and minerals from Canada, the Kola Peninsula, Karelin, Brazil, and other districts. Several notable accessions came to the division of stratigraphic paleontology: 26 exchanges arranged largely by the assistant curator to fill gaps in the brachiopod series were received. The British Museum and Dr. R. Kozlowski at Warsaw and Dr. A. Hadding at Lund supplied fine Jurassic and Cretaceous brachiopods. The National Museum at Melbourne and the Dominion Museum at Wellington furnished two fine collections from the Tertiary of the Australian realm, and the Paleontological Institute of Vienna a small collection of rare Triassic forms. From Harvard University was obtained a large suite from the Middle Paleozoic of Bohemia. Collections from the Devonian were furnished by Dr. A. Opik in Estonia and by the Muséum Royal d’Histoire Naturelle de Belgique, Brussels. Finally, two sizable lots from the Universities of Okla- homa and New Mexico placed in our collection a more adequate representation of Upper Paleozoic brachiopods from these States. Among the other exchanges were two lots of Bohemian fossils from Charles University, Prague; an excellent representation of the Norwegian Cambrian from Oslo; a series of topotypes of Car- boniferous fossils from the University of London; and an interesting series from the University of Adelaide. Dr. H. Justin Roddy again furnished an extraordinary collection from the Lower Cambrian of the Lancaster region in Pennsylvania. Several valuable collections were presented, most notable being the fifth shipment of the private collection of Dr. A. F. Foerste, numbering some 10,000 specimens of invertebrate fossils of which over 1,000 are types. Particularly notable is the valuable acqui- sition of several fine fossil starfishes collected by the late Dr. Albert Perry Brigham, of Colgate University, and presented by Mrs. Brig- ham and Mr. and Mrs. L. V. Roth. Dr. J. Brookes Knight, of Yale University, gave about 125 brachiopods from the Pennsylvanian of Missouri, and Prof. G. M. Kay, at Columbia University, a collection of Trenton brachiopods. Through the interest of Dr. Mary J. Rathbun, six lots of fossil crustaceans were donated, among which those fur- nished by Dr. Hubert G. Schenck, of Stanford University, and some pinnotherid crabs, including types, gift of E. W. Galliher, Pacific Grove, Calif., were of most importance. Among other gifts were a collection of Pennsylvanian gastropods from J. Brookes Knight, of Yale University; a small lot of Pennsyl- vanian fossils from Ralph H. King, University of Texas; a large exhi- bition slab crowded with the gastropod Lecanospira found in Virginia 112 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 19383 by Dr. A. A. L. Mathews, Oberlin College; examples of the fresh- water limestone crowded with fossils, used to build the new Mormon Church in Washington, secured through the builders; and finally a valuable lot of Tennessee Cambrian fossils collected by Prof. George — M. Hall, University of Tennessee. The Springer fund purchased the important Keyte collection of Paleozic fossil crinoids from Colorado. The assistant curator during his field expedition obtained 10,000 to 15,000 fossils in Gaspe and New York. These supplied many important specimens for the bio- logic and stratigraphic series and also needed material for exchange. A trip into the Ohio Valley by the head curator also furnished a valuable lot of late Paleozoic fossils. Of the eight accessions of fossil plants, mention may be made of those received from Prof. Ralph Chaney, University of California, which contain many counterparts of types described in several papers. Prof. G. R. Wieland, of Yale, donated two examples of the interesting fern Tempskya, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History gave some Pleistocene plants excellently preserved in asphalt. Material resulting from the field expedition of 1932 is of first importance in the division of vertebrate paleontology, especially benefiting the mammalian collections. Specimens worthy of especial mention are: Much of the skeleton of a hawklike bird, of which the skull, lower jaw, pelvis, sternum, and other bones are present, un- questionably the most perfect skeleton of a bird yet collected from the Oligocene of North America; a skull and skeletal parts of Husmilus, a rare saber-toothed cat of which only three or four specimens were previously known; two articulated skeletons of Mesohippus; two articulated skeletons of Merycoidodon; one skeleton each of Lep- tomeryx and Ischyromys; 120 skulls, many partial skeletons, articu- lated limbs and feet, in all representing more than 20 genera of verte- brates. Some forms new to science will probably be found when a study is made of these materials. Through exchanges arranged with various institutions, the division obtained a number of specimens of outstanding merit. From the American Museum of Natural History came a mountable skeleton of Moropus, a rare mammal from the Miocene of Nebraska, and a skeleton of the giant reptile Gorgosaurus libratus from the Upper Cretaceous of Canada. The former has all the broken and missing bones restored so that the skeleton is ready for mounting. Both genera were previously unrepresented in our collections. The Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art furnished a mountable composite skeleton of Hquus occidentalis, from the famous Rancho La Brea asphalt deposits; and the Colorado Museum of Natural History, Denver, a composite skeleton of the Oligocene rhinoceros, Trigonias osborni. From the Royal Ontario Paleontological Museum were REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM Ms obtained two duck-billed dinosaur skulls (Edmontosaurus and Prosau- rolophus), both new in the collections, and from the National Museum of South Africa four skulls and limb and foot bones of Lystrosaurus and Dicynodon, extinct reptiles from the Triassic. Remains of these genera are rarely found in paleontological collections of North America. A beautifully preserved skull of Hqwus alaskae Hay from Point Barrow, Alaska, was collected for the Museum by James A. Ford. A fossil frog skeleton from the Miocene of Nevada, the most perfect example of an extinct frog yet found on this continent, was presented by R. M. Catlin. A skull of a large cetacean from California, presented by Dr. A. P. Ousdal, forms a valued addition to the series of cetacean remains. By purchase from George F. Sternberg a beautiful example of the extinct fish I[chthyodectes hamatus was obtained, and similarly the mosasaur series was enriched by a mountable skeleton of the large sea lizard Platecarpus. INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS A rearrangement of the systematic mineral collection, reported last year as under way, was completed, and much new and striking mate- rial: from the Roebling and Canfield collections was incorporated. The 2,892 specimens of this series include 837 distinct mineral species and comprise high-quality material only. The new arrangement permitted the introduction of some new exhibits in refractories, lith- ium, beryllium and rare-earth ores. Several large specimens of ores from important mining districts were installed on new bases. Five large meteorites, previously exhibited on individual bases, were rein- stalled on a single long base to harmonize with previous installations. Some striking exhibits on individual pedestals include a large geode from Iowa fitted with interior lighting, radium ore from Canada, and a group of carved corals. The head curator prepared a new set of slides on geological subjects for the stereomotorgraph, assembled a set of small, polished samples of foreign building stones, both ancient and modern, and prepared various sets of Cenozoic and recent bryozoans for exchange with the British Museum, in the course of which many specimens were identi- fied and added to the collections. He also continued building up a library of pamphlets on general geology, stratigraphy, and invertebrate paleontology. In revising the exhibition series of ores it was found necessary to expand the study series to accommodate material removed from exhibition, during which the classification, cataloging, and distribution of the important collection of rare metal ores assembled during many years’ collecting by Frank L. Hess were completed by the assistant curator. This is probably the finest collection of rare-metal ores extant. 114 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 Dr. W. F. Foshag, assisted by James Benn, selected material for an exhibit illustrating the fluorescence of minerals under ultraviolet light. Since only an occasional specimen shows a satisfactory degree of fluorescence, it was necessary to examine hundreds of samples before the best possible effect could be achieved. A satisfactory lighting system was devised by L. B. Clark, of the Division of Radiation and Organisms. The head curator completed the preparation and installation of the biologic series of fossil plants, a case illustrating the geology of a coral island, one showing various types of geological structures, another with imitative forms of fossils, and one each of the peculiar extinct merostome crustaceans and unusual cephalopods. He like- wise installed on a single exhibition base large, showy examples of various kinds of conglomerates and glacial boulder clays. Dr. C. E. Resser, with the help of Dr. Josiah Bridge, assembled an exhibit illustrating the life of the Ozarkian and Canadian periods, thus filling a long-existing gap. In cooperation with Dr. Roland Brown and Dr. C. B. Read, of the United States Geological Survey, available material also was assembled to illustrate fossilized fruits and flowers. Dr. G. A. Cooper placed 30 lithologic samples in the stratigraphic exhibition series, revised the exhibit of stromatopores, and, at the close of the year, went over the entire exhibition series in preparation for the International Geological Congress. Dr. C. B. Read continued his voluntary rearrangement of the Lacoe plants. Dr. Charles Butts arranged his extensive collections of Paleozoic fossils so that they are readily available. Following her retirement from the Government service at the end of December 1932, Miss Margaret Moodey was appointed, under the Springer fund, to take up the long-delayed work of cataloging the unrivaled Springer collection of echinoderms. Two months were spent in bibliographic work and 4 months in checking and cataloging. At the end of the year, 8 families of the Camerata, comprising 115 standard drawers, were completed. The exhibition series in vertebrate paleontology was increased by the addition of a 5-foot skeleton of Ichthyodectes hamatus, skulls of Edmontosaurus regalis Lambe and Prosaurolophus maximus Brown; skull and lower jaws of Hyrachodon and a skull of Ovibos. Assistant Curator C. L. Gazin continued his rearrangement of the mammal collection. The Cumberland Cave collection, consisting of several hundred specimens, is now completely Eabnilaseds labeled, and arranged in standard trays; the Plesippus materials have been assorted and, with the exception of the skulls, assembled as a single unit; the Cook collection from Idaho and the Gidley collection from Florida were assorted, labeled, and many of the specimens cataloged. Dr. Gazin also has identified many of the Bridger specimens. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 115 INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH By members of the staffi—The head curator completed the pre- liminary study and illustrations of the Hederellidae, a new group of fossil Bryozoa; brought up to date his bibliographic index of Paleozoic Ostracoda, being published by the Geological Society of America; prepared an address on the development of invertebrate paleontology in America; and forwarded for publication a mono- graph of the Tertiary Beverce of Australia, prepared in collaboration with the late Ferdinand Canu. Dr. W. F. Foshag completed investigations on he rare minerals searlesite, bakerite, ganophyllite, and sulfohalite and continued work on the borate minerals of the West, in which it was necessary to analyze a number of marls. Several doubtful minerals were studied and their true nature determined. HE. P. Henderson announced two new mineral species, corvusite and rilandite, and nearly completed work on two other new species. Many partial analyses were made for identification, and some mate- rial was found worthy of more detailed examination. Dr. C. E. Resser assisted R. Endo in preparing a paper on the Cambrian of Manchuria. He completed a paper presenting a pre- liminary generalized time scale for the Cambrian and began a de- scription of the fossils from the Olenellus zone in the Appalachians. These last papers were presented at the Boston meeting of the Geological Society of America. Dr. G. A. Cooper prepared a preliminary paper on the results of his field work in eastern New York and another, written jointly with Dr. Lawrence Whitcomb, of Lehigh University, describing a new genus of brachiopod. Dr. E. O. Ulrich continued his studies of early Paleozoic faunas. A grant from the Geological Society of America made possible the temporary employment of Dr. H. S. Ladd, who since February was engaged in labeling and photographing fossils and in organizing materials so that Dr. Ulrich’s many uncompleted manuscripts, in- cluding joint papers with Drs. Foerste, Cooper, Bridge, and others, may finally be printed. Dr. A. F. Foerste continued his cephalopod studies, unearthing much important information. He will soon reach the point when the cephalopod series can be generally overhauled and classified. C. W. Gilmore completed a manuscript describing dinosaurian remains from the Cretaceous of Mongolia, which has been sent to the American Museum of Natural History for publication. A beginning was made on a study of turtle specimens from Mongolia for that institution. This will complete our part of the cooperative arrangement between the two institutions whereby for work done 116 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 on the Mongolian fauna, Dr. G. G. Simpson will study and describe the Museum’s collection of Paleocene mammals. Dr. C. L. Gazin completed his extended study of the Cumberland Cave Pleistocene fauna and submitted it for publication. Two papers, ““A New Shrew from the Upper Pliocene of Idaho” and “The Status of the Extinct American Eland”’ were published, and a manuscript, ‘‘New Ielids from the Upper Pliocene of Idaho” was submitted for publication. Some progress was made on his study of the Plesippus materials, as well as a beginning in the study of other portions of the Idaho collections, particularly the mustelids and lagomorphs. Dr. Remington Kellogg, as in previous years, continued his re- searches on the cetacean collection, this past year being more par- ticularly applied to the zeuglodonts. Research by outside investigators aided by Museum material.— During the year 1,767 specimens were lent for study, and 463 lots of material were received for examination and report. In the paleontological division, Dr. David White was engaged on a description of the Pottsville flora of Illinois. Dr. R. W. Brown continued the study of the Fort Union flora and wrote papers de- scribing the flora of the Miocene of the Blue Mountains, Oreg., and of the Salmon, Idaho, region. Jointly with Dr. C. B. Read, he nearly completed a revision of the Cretaceous fern genus Tempskya. Dr. Read prepared papers on the floras in the Mosquito Range, Colo., and in the New Providence shale and on Trichopitys. Dr. L. W. Stephenson was engaged in a study of the Navarro fauna of the Texas Cretaceous, and Dr. Edwin Kirk continued his studies on crinoids and completed several papers. Dr. T. Kobayashi remained here throughout the year continuing his studies of Korean and Manchurian fossils. Much new informa- tion of critical importance is constantly coming to light in his studies. Abbé Georges Le Maitre, the Belgian scientist, studied the mete- orite collection; Dr. M. K. Elias, of the Kansas State Geological Survey, spent some weeks studying Carboniferous and Tertiary plants. A. L. Morrow, of Yale University, R. W. Imlay, of the University of Michigan, and Prof. H. A. Meyerhoff, of Smith Col- lege, studied the Mesozoic collections; Dr. A. R. Barwick, of Catholic University, studied the invertebrate fossil collection in general; Dr. J. A. Cushman the foraminifera; Dr. Cecil Kindle, of the College of the City of New York, and Dr. Lawrence Whitcomb, of Lehigh University, the Paleozoic invertebrates; and Prof. P. E. Raymond and Henry C. Stetson, of Harvard University, spent a few days working on certain Burgess shale specimens. Dr. George G. Simpson made considerable progress in his study of the Paleocene mammal collection. A locality map, printed as a REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 117 result of his field trip to Montana for the Museum this past sum- mer, adds greatly to the value of the collection in definitely locating all the specimens both geologically and geographically. Dr. R. S. Lull, director of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, utilized the horned dinosaur collections in connection with his monographic revision of the Ceratopsian dinosauria. Barnum Brown, of the American Museum of Natural History, likewise made use of the col- lections in connection with his study of the armored dinosauria. Assistance to Government bureaus and private indiwiduals.—Mineral- ogical material was furnished to members of the Geological Survey, the Department of Agriculture, and the Geophysical Laboratory, and Dr. Resser continued his services to the Geological Survey as adviser on Cambrian questions. Requests from Prof. George M. Hall, of the University of Tennessee, for identification of age and species in Cambrian collections necessitated considerable study of the Nolichucky fossils. Thereby, for the first time, definite information was obtained regarding the faunal characteristics of this widespread southern Appalachian formation. A large series of highly important Cambrian fossils was obtained by the Princeton Summer School, at Red Lodge, Mont., and forwarded to the Museum for preliminary identification. DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS The following distribution of geological specimens was made: Gifts, 3,456 specimens; exchanges, 2,278; loans for study, 1,767. As transfers to other Government bureaus, 21 specimens were sent. NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DEPARTMENT The estimated total of specimens in the department is as follows: WHINE NOP aANGgpetrOlORY. oe ee uo ee 140, 736 Geology, systematic and applied___________________- 95, 493 Stratigraphic:paleontology 2. 22 Llib iLL ese tel 1, 864, 167 Vertebrate paleontology. 2222201 2s) 2s. oseus see 27, 322 BLE Gell eee eee yg Bea ee 2, 127, 718 REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES (Cart W. Mitman, Head Curator) For the first 2 months of the year, following the retirement of W. deC. Ravenel on June 30, 1932, the department of arts and industries was administered by J. E. Graf, associate director. On September 6, 1932, the office of head curator was established and an administrative set-up created similar to that of the natural science departments of the Museum. C. W. Mitman, who had spent 3 months of the summer in a general survey of technical, industrial, and science museums of western Europe, was advanced from the position of curator of engineering to the new position; and Frank A. Taylor was promoted from assistant curator of engineering to curator. ACCESSIONS FOR THE YEAR Valuable historical specimens of textiles, engineering, and graphic arts that never would have come to light in boom times were brought to the department’s attention during the year and acquired when possible. Slack business, on the other hand, practically prevented the acquisition of new industrial exhibits, but permitted many who had cooperated with the Museum in the past to renew their exhibits. Specimens added to the department’s collections during 1933 totaled 4,261, about one third more than in 1932. The distribution of these among the divisions and sections was as follows: Engineering, 312; textiles, 708; organic chemistry, 764; wood technology, 365; foods, 2; history of agriculture, 252; medicine, 425; graphic arts, including photography, 1,433. Engineering.—The 312 specimens included in the 82 accessions of this division were assigned to the sections as follows: Aeronautics, 174; mechanical technology, 130; mineral technology, 8. In aeronautics, the most prominent object acquired was the gondola, or car, of the Pilgrim, the first dirigible designed for inflation with helium gas. It is complete with the Laurence 3-cylinder radial engine and the 4-blade metal propeller used with it, and was presented by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. The collection pertaining to the early history of balloons was augmented by the gift of Miss Emma Durant, of New York City, of a number of original illustrations and records describing the work of her father, Charles F. Durant, the first professional American aero- ‘naut, who made his first ascent from Castle Garden, New York City, 118 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 119 in 1830. Two structural sections from the airships Shenandoah and Akron, showing two forms of trusses, came from Howard Minker, Washington, D.C., and the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., respectively. ‘To the collection of aircraft engines the Pratt & Whitney Co., Hartford, Conn., added a sectioned operating example of their ‘‘Wasp’’ engine. Seven airship propellers were transferred from the War Department; an adjustable metal airplane propeller of 1914 was presented by Inglis M. Uppercu, Keyport, N.J.; and a modern hollow steel blade from a Dicks propeller was given by the Pittsburgh Screw & Bolt Corporation. A departure from the usual form of lift and propulsion is illustrated by a wind-tunnel model of a rotary airfoil, presented by its inventor, I. B. Laskowitz, Brooklyn, N.Y. Although several full-size airplanes were offered to the Museum during the year, none could be accepted because of limited space. To the collection of airplane models, however, many new types were added, including a beautifully constructed miniature of a “ Travelair”’ biplane of 1930, one eighth size and half skeletonized to show the construction. It is one of the finest models in the collection and was loaned by its maker, Herbert Atkinson, of New Bedford, Mass. The acquisition of a Curtiss pusher model of the 1908 type and a Curtiss ‘““Hawk”’ model of 1928, both made to the same scale, permits an interesting contrast of airplane design over a 20-year period. These models were received from Edward Reeves and Richard Hooper, respectively, of Washington, D.C. Another model received from Mr. Reeves illustrates the old ‘“‘Antoinette” type, a French mono- ‘plane of 1909, which made remarkable flights in the early days of aviation. A German Worid War bombing airplane is represented by a model of a ‘‘Gotha’’, made and presented by Isaac H. Henry, of Easton, Md. Modern military types are shown by a ‘‘Condor”’ bomber model from Harris Taylor, Clarendon, Va.; a Boeing low-wing monoplane model from Robert McGregor, Clarksburg, W.Va.; and a Navy Vought ‘‘Corsair”’ model made by Edwin Geigan, Washing- ton, D.C., and received from Miss E. M. Luers, Bowie, Md. The series of models illustrating the winners of the famed Schneider trophy for seaplanes was increased by a miniature of the Supermarine S-6-B, which won the trophy in 1931 at a speed of 340 miles an hour. The model was made and presented by Ivan Lettner, Anacostia, D.C. With the assistance of the War Department, A. G. Spalding Co., New York, Sternheimer Bros., Richmond, Va., and the Transcon- tinental and. Western Air, Inc., Kansas City, Mo., a display of fliers’ helmets was prepared showing the evolution of pilots’ headgear from the old crash helmets of the early days to the uniform cap of the modern transport pilot. The Beverly Hills (Calif.) Chamber of Commerce presented the parachute with which the flier Rodman Law made a demonstration 120 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 jump from an airplane in 1912, one of the first instances of its kind. This accession provides the Museum with an example of the old “bundle” type of parachute, antedating the several pack types already exhibited. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh added to his previous gift of the Spirit of St. Louis the maps and personal equipment that he carried during his Pan American flight of 1927-28. Much of this material was in- tended for emergency use in event of a forced landing in the jungles of Central America. The largest single group of accessions in the section of mechanical technology was in the class of material relating to land transportation. The sole full-size vehicle added this year was a Columbia electric buggy of about 1903-6, the gift of Mrs. Sewell M. Johnson, Wash- ington, D.C. This vehicle is a well-preserved example of the light electric automobile that in its day was so much more dependable than the unperfected gasoline automobile that it was the choice of conservative and professional people. Other automotive material included the steam engine built by the Mason Regulator Co. in 1897 for the first Stanley steam automobile; and a Stanley steam auto- mobile engine of about 1923 from L. J. Hathaway, Cherrydale, Va. The railroad and locomotive collection was enhanced by the addition of three models of English locomotives of about 25 years ago. They are the gift of Frank A. Wardlaw, Jr., Inspiration, Ariz., and Frank A. Wardlaw, New York City, and include the Locomotive Greyhound of the L. & N.W. Ry. Co., and the Locomotive 146 of the F.C.O. Rr. (Argentine) of 1905, which were made by Mr. Wardlaw, ° Sr.; and the Caledonian Railroad Co.’s Locomotive 908. These locomotives exhibit many features foreign to American practice not heretofore shown in the collections. An unusual railroad item was a Japanese drawing in color of a Norris locomotive, tender, and car of 1853, the gift of C. P. Clausen, Washington, D.C. The Japanese date of the picture indicates that it was made about 1853 and con- sequently only a year or two after Commodore Perry negotiated the treaty with Japan. Miss Martha Hopkins, Damariscotta, Maine, presented an old single-ox yoke, a type not many of which are known to exist. The watercraft collection received only one addition during the year—a nicely executed model of the champion ice yacht Debutante III, presented by John D. Buckstaff, Oshkosh, Wis., and Douglas Van Dyke, Milwaukee, Wis. The original is the present holder of the Stuart trophy and the world’s record over a 20-mile triangular course. In the class of electrical material the additions to the collection of incandescent lamps are of considerable interest. Frank A. Wardlaw, New York City, an associate of Thomas A. Edison, presented 2 originals of the Edison paper horseshoe filament lamp of 1879, 2 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 121 of the bamboo filament lamps of 1880, and an original wooden-screw socket for each type. The paper filament lamps, one of which is intact, are of the first type made after the successful experimental lamp of October 1879, and the bamboo filament lamps, one of which is intact, are the first commercial type. Donald F. Poole, Washing- ton, D.C., presented two early Maxim lamps with sockets. A more modern note in electric lighting is represented in a display panel of eight rare gas discharge tubes, the gift of the Air Reduction Sales Co., New York City. Two fans received show early stages in the development of this electrical appliance. One, made by Leo Daft, electrical pioneer, and dating from before 1890, is the gift of Mrs. Matilda Daft Williams, Albany, N.Y. Itis small, with an unguarded fan wheel mounted on the shaft of a small motor with long vertical field coils. The other is a Holtzer Cabot fan of about 1900, in which the earlier type of motor and same general arrangement are still evident though dressed up in a heavy cast-iron base and grilled housing. This fan is the gift of Mrs. Mae I. English and Mrs. L. F ~ Speich, Washington, D.C. A Merritt typewriter of about 1890, one of the first few machines made by the Merritt Typewriter Co., Springfield, Mass., and a com- mercial form of a machine formerly represented in the collection by a Patent Office model only, was the only addition to the typewriter collection. It was presented by C. C. Merritt, nephew of the inventor. Two Edison phonographs were added to the collections. One, an original of the tin-foil record type, was presented by Frank A. Ward- law; the other, a nicely preserved ‘‘Amberola-50” of about 1915, the eift of Clarence Beyer, Baltimore, Md., represents the final develop- ment of the wax-cylinder record type, and is complete with a group of select records. Among the additions to the collection of surveying and astronomical instruments is the Herschelian reflecting telescope made by Amasa Holeomb, of Southwick, Mass., about 1835. The reflector, about 8 inches in diameter and having a focal length of about 9 feet, is of speculum metal and has a remarkably well preserved surface. It is the gift of Mrs. Grace E. Holcomb Steere and Mrs. Eva C. Holcomb Storey, Southwick, Mass., who also presented an astronomical transit and instrument tripod by the same maker. From the War Department came an interesting form of large reconnoitering tele- scope and an astronomical transit, both about 60 years old. Among the watches added to the timekeeping collections is an English silver case watch dated 1794, the movement of which is marked ‘‘Effingham Embree, New York.’”’? Not many watches in the collection dating from 1800 carry the names of American makers or importers. It is the gift of Mrs. Gertrude O. S. Cleveland, Quine- baug, Conn. Clocks added to the collection include two tall case 16528—33—9 122 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 clocks of the early nineteenth century, one the gift of Mrs. Daniel Gardner, Newburgh, N.Y., the other of Mrs. James R. Van Horn, Washington, D.C. An early electric master-clock system, which was installed in the Arts and Industries Building when erected and which was removed during the past year, was added to the collection for its technical interest. To the section of mineral technology the Carborundum Co., Niagara Falls, N.Y., gave a model of a carborundum grain sifter as an addition to the splendid models that the same company presented last year to show the processes of manufacture of carborundum abra- sive products. A group of lathe tools made with ‘‘Firthite” alloy cutting edge inserts, a small piece of ‘‘Firthite”, and a wire drawing die with a ‘“‘Firthaloy”’ insert were added to the metallurgy exhibits by L. Gerald Firth, McKeesport, Pa. Philip McKenna, Latrobe, Pa., presented a lathe tool with a ‘‘ Vascaloy”’ insert. Textiles, organic chemistry, wood technology, foods, history of agri- culture, and medicine.—Because of the increasing interest of the public in early American textiles, efforts were made to carry out the plans proposed in last year’s report for special exhibitions of home handi- crafts in textiles. Mrs. William 8S. Corby, Chevy Chase, Md., laaned for this purpose part of her collection of early American coverlets. These examples of a household industry, which began in Colonial days and continued until the Civil War, were collected in Virginia, Massa- chusetts, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Maryland, and Florida. Other coverlets for this exhibition were loaned by Capt. James A. Stader, Neosho, Mo., and C. H. Popenoe, Silver Spring, Md. Beautiful examples of artistic needlework, made before the days of the sewing machine, were received as gifts as follows: From Mrs. Kate Vinson a silk applique quilt designed and made in Baltimore, Md., 1845, by the donor’s mother; from Miss Isabelle M. Erwin and Miss Mildred A. Erwin a white quilted counterpane and a cotton patchwork quilt, pieced in “Irish Chain” pattern, both made in South Carolina in 1850; and from Mrs. Mary HE. Lyddane linen samplers made in 1804 and 1833. Mrs. Laurence Stabler, Alexandria, Va., loaned two appliqued cotton quilts, one in ‘‘Tree of Life” design made in 1802, the other in 1830; and a small linen sampler worked in 1733. Mrs. Daniel Gardner added 27 miscellaneous textile articles. The Museum is indebted to Miss Susan P. Keech for a cotton coverlet, made of a monochrome copper cylinder print—the so-called “‘Toile de la Bastile’”—which has been in the Keech family of Harford County, Mad., for 70 years or more. The Cotton-Textile Institute continued its valued cooperation by the presentation of two series of modern cotton fabrics produced by American manufacturers. Further additions to the display of sea- sonal cotton dress goods were made by Galey & Lord, who presented REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM L285 specimens of fancy weave cotton and rayon fabrics. The Celanese Corporation of America contributed a new series of examples of piece- dyed dress materials to replace the specimens presented last year. To the Flatau Fabrics Corporation the Museum is indebted for ex- amples of warp-printed, novelty silk crepe fabrics, finished by a special process to give the material a sandy feel when handled. The cooperation of Sidney Blumenthal & Co. was continued by the gift of specimens of upholstery and drapery pile fabrics, cloaking and velvet dress fabrics, and a printed velour bathmat, these to replace some of the specimens contributed by this firm during the past 19 years. The Armstrong Cork Co. presented a full series showing the manu- facture of linoleum and suggestions for the interior decoration of differ- ent types of rooms; the Standard Textile Products Co. specimens illustrating the manufacture of wall and table oilcloth and uses to which these materials may be put; and M. J. Whittall Associates a series of specimens illustrating the manufacture of wool carpet yarns. The Universal Winding Co. sent examples of windings of bare and insulated wires for electrical purposes, which had been wound on winders of different types. Through the courtesy of T. A. Keleher, a live exhibit of about 300 half-grown silkworms was set up in the textile hall. They were placed on shelves in a special glass case, where they were fed fresh mulberry leaves every few hours until the cocoons were spun, the first week of June. : Specimens of new rubber products and a historical series illus- trating the development of rubber pneumatic tires from 1904 to the present time were contributed by the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co. The United Shoe Machinery Corporation added to its exhibit a new series showing a recently perfected shoemaking method. For the collections pertaining to agricultural history were received three models of the Cyrus Hall McCormick grain reaper constructed, one eighth size, according to the specifications of United States Patents Nos. 3895 and 5335, issued June 21, 1834, January 31, 1845, and October 23, 1847. The first was the gift of Secretary Abbot; the others of the McCormick Historical Association, which also presented. three groups of documents, one relating to the development of two hillside plows, patented by Cyrus Hall McCormick in 1831 and 1833; one to the development of the reaper by Cyrus Hall McCormick; and one to a threshing machine invented by Robert McCormick in 1834. An interesting specimen was received from Miss Anna Tiede in the form of a blank book of veneer cut from western white pine. The sheets were cut with a slicing knife, but, ingeniously, were not cut entirely through, just enough wood being left at the back to bind them. The sheets are not glued at any point. 124 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., collected in Puerto Rico during March and April 1932 for the section of wood technology 74 woods from a region heretofore only scantily represented in the collection. These specimens are backed by herbarium material in the division of plants. The Uni- versity of Poznan sent a set of 63 samples of the woods of Poland in exchange fora collection of woods of the United States. At the sug- gestion of Mr. Miller, E. N. Bancroft, surveyor general of Kingston, Jamaica, collected for the Museum wood samples of Jamaican trees, most of which are backed by herbarium material in the division of plants. Most of these are generous trunk sections. Other woods received from various contributors for the study collection comprise single billets or trunk sections. One is a 17-inch section of the rare Chonta palm from Juan Fernandez Island off the coast of Chili, obtained by Dr. W. L. Schmitt. Prof. T. Jonson, of the Royal Swedish Forestry School, Stockholm, contributed a fine trunk section of European white birch from the demonstration forest of the College of Forestry at Garpenberg, Province of Dalarne, Sweden. In exchange for a study sample of Ginkgo wood sent to him in August 1932, F. K. Dalton sent a piece of the wood of kaika- waka, or New Zealand cedar, which burns very slowly and is used locally for fire doors and similar purposes. A piece of German oak cut from a dugout built on the Elbe between 800 and 900 A.D., and attesting the great durability of this species, was received from R. D, Hess as an exchange. A collection of homeopathic pharmaceutical preparations, from Boericke & Tafel, arranged to illustrate the history and principles of homeopathy, was the largest gift received by the division of medicine during the year. The specimens included consist of pharmaceuticals of all kinds from the animal, mineral, and vegetable kingdoms. The division is indebted to Dr. F. B. Kilmer, of Johnson & Johnson, for the contribution of type specimens of the earliest antiseptic sur- gical dressings made on a commercial scale in the United States. The first type, carbolated gauze, introduced the new Listerian sys- tem of antiseptic dressings. The others illustrate improved forms of dressings with corrosive sublimate and boric acid as the medicinal agents. The pharmacy collection was improved by the addition of con- siderable material, including a druggist’s mortar contributed by Magnus, Mabee & Reynard, and a series of six photographie en- largements of murals depicting the progress of pharmacy, a gift of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science. Accessions for the materia medica section included a gift of a set of photographs especially prepared by Eli Lilly & Co. to illustrate steps in the manufacture of insulin; a contribution of Merck & Co. of a series of cinchona alkaloids and alkaloidal salts; and donations REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 125 of crude drugs by the United States Department of Agriculture, R. Hillier’s Son Corporation, J. L. Hopkins & Co., S. B. Penick & Co., Peek & Velsor, and Johnson & Johnson. Additions to the section of public health were: A group of models and a panel transferred from the United States Children’s Bureau; a partial set of specially prepared placards and a series of strip films received from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.; and additional colored transparencies donated by the American Hospital Association. Graphic arts —The 51 accessions, 4 more than last year, totaled 1,433 specimens, of which the gifts, purchases, transfers, and deposits made a permanent addition to the collections of 482 specimens. The most important accession was 200 old etchings collected by J. Kay, London, in 1826. The lot contains prints by such famous artists as Rembrandt, Claude, Hollar, Cornelius, Bego, and Castiglione, and many by lesser artists, quite a few of which are of much better quality than those by the more famous etchers. Etchings and dry- points by American artists were received from Joseph C. Claghorn, Mrs. Sybilla M. Weber, and Robert Lawson. In connection with the new installation of the photomechanical and substitute processes, the following accessions were obtained: Photographs of the inventors Frederic E. Ives, Max Levy, Louis E. Levy, and Karl Kletsch; 36 prints made by the Photogravure and Color Co., of New York, from 3 old photomechanical plates etched about 1860 by Fox Talbot. The Meriden Gravure Co. gave 18 specimens of their work in collotype, and 5 specimens of excellent European work were purchased and incorporated in the exhibit. The Laboratory Press of Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pitts- burgh, presented 7 examples of the work being done in the school of printing, and 2 large highlight water-marked samples of paper were the gift of the Japan Paper Co. Of the 26 accessions received by the section of photography during the year, the most important and valued was the gift of Mary O. Petrocelli, Brooklyn, N.Y., of 86 beautiful bromoil and resinotypia prints made by her late husband, Joseph Petrocelli, between 1921 and 1928. They are all suitably and effectively framed, and were presented in the hope that they would stimulate a desire to carry on this type of work, of which Mr. Petrocelli was a master. An important addition to the motion-picture exhibit was a com- plete early Edison projection kinetoscope acquired from John P. Daniels, Crisfield, Md. Three burnishers used by the late John F. Jarvis, Washington, D.C., the gift of Mr. Jarvis’ daughters, Mrs. Mae I. English and Mrs. L. F. Speich, illustrate the development of this once useful article in photography. M. Schneckenberger, chief photographer for the Buffalo Museum of Science, Buffalo, N.Y., loaned two im- 126 IANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 portant cameras, one a Kodak No. 210 and the other an E. & H. T. Anthony No. 1025. Dr. Robert Taft gave a portrait of Hamilton H. Smith, the inventor of the tintype, which is a copy of a self-por- trait (1889) printed on platinum paper of Smith’s preparation. A 35-mm moving-picture film, the gift of Geophysiches Institut, Prague, illustrates the copying of books in this compact form, each page being copied on one frame and projected onto a screen for study. Libraries are using this method to copy rare old books, thus to preserve the originals and make them available for others. Another film acquired from the Universal Talking Newsreel, New York, illustrates the method of locomotion of a walrus in the San Diego Zoo. Mrs. Hazel Englebrecht, Des Moines, Iowa, specialist in K-ray photography, presented to the section 2 photographs of flowers and 9 negatives of various assorted subjects. Delancey Gill, Alexandria, Va., for many years illustrator of the Bureau of Ameri- can Ethnology, upon his retirement on June 30, 1932, gave the col- lection a Thornton Pickard shutter, a Triplex shutter, an old focusing glass, and a Watkins meter. Eugene Augustin Lauste, Bloomfield, N.J., pioneer inventor of sound and sight motion pictures, presented 22 photographic copies of his early inventions. Ida F. Arnold, Canton, Mass., presented a collection of 4 daguerreotypes, 4 ambro- types, 2 tintypes, and 1 cabinet portrait. Loeb collection of chemical types——Miss Aida M. Doyle, of the section of organic chemistry, devoted 2 days a week to the Loeb collection of chemical types under the head curator’s direction, and by the close of the year had made satisfactory progress toward com- pleting a technical catalog of the collection, which now numbers 1,336 specimens. INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS Engineering.—In the section of aeronautics the erection of the gondola and part of the envelop of the airship Pilgrim was the larg- est new installation. In addition, the collection of kites was in- stalled in metal swinging frames and a complete series of illustrations portraying the evolution of the parachute was added. In mechani- cal technology the most popular new arrangement was the addition of a horse, harness, and liveried driver to the hansom cab presented last year by Mrs. James Parmelee. Mrs. Parmelee donated a nicely carved wooden horse, the original harness, and the driver’s livery. The large tower-clock movement presented last year by the city of Frederick, Md., was installed at the level of the ‘‘clock gallery” on the top of a steel tower erected from the main floor, and will be operated during the coming year. The glass and metallurgy exhibits of the section of mineral technology were completely rearranged. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 127 An attractive exhibit portraying the early work of Joseph Wharton in the development of nickel refining and manufacturing processes was installed. Textiles, organic chemistry, wood technology, foods, and medicine.—In all, 35 installations of new material and 13 rearrangements or rein- stallations of specimens received in previous years were made in the textile halls. In the section of organic chemistry 17 exhibits were dismantled and revised, replacing some specimens with new material of more recent manufacture. Three new installations were made in the section of foods. A new colony of bees was installed in the obser- vation hive in the spring, the bees in the old colony having nearly all perished in the previous cold winter. In wood technology a new cork exhibit was installed from material contributed by the Armstrong Cork Co., the walnut airplane pro- peller and accompanying parts, received in 1917 from the American Propeller & Manufacturing Co., were rearranged; and parts of the exhibit of the Hammermill Paper Co., illustrating the manufacture and use of sulphite wood pulp for writing papers, were revised. This year 203 woods were received, primarily for the study collection. Of these, 65 were of such size that they could be placed in the regular drawers with little or no cutting, 183 were cut to size and all duplicates put in storage, while 5 await seasoning. A total of 308 hand samples were prepared for the study collection, 2,087 duplicates for distribu- tion and exchange, and 318 thin sections were made for the division of plants. Important of the new or improved installations in the division of medicine are models illustrating various phases of child welfare; exhibits devoted to the portraying of general hygiene, preventive medicine, and vital statistics; the Arabian period of medical history; the history of pharmacy; the evolution of pharmacopoeias, dispensa- tories, and formularies; and improved insulin, surgical dressings, and crude drug exhibits. Graphic arts.—Besides conducting 8 special exhibitions, the mem- bers of the staff of the division of graphic arts devoted 4% months to the arrangement and installation of the photomechanical prints. Many of the early specimens are rare, and to insure their careful preservation they were covered with glass and bound with passe partout. This method, once started, made it necessary to cover all specimens in order to make the exhibition uniform. Nearly all the old material and much new was rematted and covered with glass. INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH Dr. F. L. Lewton, curator of textiles, continued his botanical studies of certain undescribed plants related to the cottons; the assistant curator of wood technology, W. N. Watkins, carried on 128 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 investigations of the utility of certain tropical Florida woods and ~ gave special study to the anatomy of other species of woods; the assistant curator of medicine, Dr. Charles Whitebread, pursued his studies of Arabian medicine and the history of pharmacy; R. P. Tolman, curator of graphic arts, devoted some time to further re- search on the artist Malbone; and the assistant curator of engineering, Paul E. Garber, found time to give to his researches in aeronautical history. Many individuals and industrial organizations made use of the department’s collections during the year, some in connection with their studies on various phases of industrial and technologic history and transportation, involving in some cases the comparison of speci- mens in the collections with privately-owned objects, and others in connection with the preparation of historical exhibits for the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago. Assistance of this sort was rendered also to a number of Federal agencies, including the United States Shipping Board, the Bureau of Public Roads, the Bureau of Navigation and Steamboat Inspection, and the Aeronautics Branch of the Department of Commerce. Much time too was required to comply with requests for the identification of specimens brought or sent in by individuals and Federal bureaus. Such assistance in- cluded identification of woods for the United States Bureau of Plant Industry, the National Committee on Wood Utilization, the Bureau of Standards, and the Bureau of American Ethnology. Seeds of foreign cottons were identified for the Division of Foreign Plant Introduction and rare drugs for the Division of Botany, United States Bureau of Plant Industry. In addition, many lots of material, such as paintings, sculpture, ship models, tools, textile fabrics, machinery, electrical and mechanical equipment, watches and clocks, and scientific apparatus, were identified and appraised. DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS The distributions from the department of arts and industries during the year aggregated 2,091 specimens, of which 39 were gifts in aid of education, 8 exchanges for material which has or will be received, and 1,595 loans for educational or research purposes. Also 449 specimens that had been temporarily in the department were returned to their owners.

Brtotr, Curator) In 1921 the division of history was removed from the department of anthropology and placed as a separate unit under the department of arts and industries, its report since 1925 for convenience having been combined with that of that department. With a reorganization during the present year, the division of history now renders a separate account of its activities. The historical collections have been divided into the following units: Art, antiquarian, costume, military, naval, numismatic, and philatelic. These terms refer to the intrinsic character of the histor- ical materials and indicate categories for the classification, installa- tion, preservation, and future development of the immense mass of objects of various types now in the care of the division. The arrange- ment of the material in each of these groups has been greatly facili- tated during recent years by the assignment of suitable exhibition and storage space in the Arts and Industries Building for the entire historical collections. Much of the time of the historical staff has been occupied with transferring materials from the Natural History Building to the Arts and Industries Building, but the MAE SSTRET Y of all this material has not yet been completed. ACCESSIONS FOR THE YEAR Additions to the collections during the year were smaller in numbers than in recent years, chiefly because of lack of exhibition and storage space for new specimens of bulky size, the necessity of depending upon gifts for material that has become comparatively scarce and valuable, and the adoption of a high standard for material accepted. Speci- mens added numbered 5,537, or 519 less than for the previous year. In the antiquarian collections several objects of special interest were added. One of these is a small compass in a leather case which was carried by William Clark during the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Pacific coast, 1804-6, and presented by Miss Mary McCabe. Another is a silver vase given to Maj. Gen. Silas Casey, when captain of the Second Infantry, United States Army, in recognition of his services during the War with Mexico. It was lent to the Museum by Miss Sophie Pearce Casey. Seven pieces of chinaware owned during the early part of the nineteenth century by President James Madison 130 REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 131 were presented by John H. Gray. Mrs. Daniel Gardner added 77 specimens of china, glass, and miscellaneous tableware to the anti- quarian material presented by her in 1931. An interesting collection of feminine wearing apparel of the latter part of the nineteenth century was donated by Mrs. Gertrude O. S. Cleveland. A frock coat and vest worn by William McKinley, prior to his election as President of the United States in 1896, were presented by George A. Troll. A United States flag carried on the boat Emma Dean by Maj. J. W. Powell and his party during their exploring expedition down the Green and Colorado Rivers, 1871-72, was presented by Frederick 8S. Dellenbaugh. Two military belt buckles of more than the usual historical impor- tance were received. One of these, presented by Virginia B. Lewis and Emily B. Leaf, was owned during the War of 1812 by Maj. Gen. Jacob Brown. The other, a gift of B. F. O’Rourke, was worn by Thomas O’Rourke, Company E, Eighty-eighth New York Volunteers, during the Battle of Cold Harbor, Va., and bears on its surface a rifle bullet that was embedded in it during that engagement. The military collection was also increased by a saber carried during the Civil War by Lt. Thomas D. Jellico, One hundred and sixty-ninth New York Volunteer Infantry, presented by Mrs. Clara Jellico Bevers, and by a Spanish carbine and sword of-the period of the Spanish-American War, presented by Mrs. Arthur Foraker. The Polish Government presented a series of uniforms and accessories of types now used in the Polish Army. A number of relics of unusual historical interest relating to the career of Commodore Thomas Macdonough, added to the naval collection, include a gold watch owned by him; a silver pitcher and six goblets presented to him by the citizens of Lansingburg, N.Y., in commemoration of his victory on Lake Champlain, September 11, 1814; and a handsome gold-mounted sword, a scabbard, and belt presented to him by the crew of the U.S.S. Guerriere, July 8, 1819. These items were lent by Rodney Macdonough. A naval sword, received as a gift from Mrs. J. A. Starkweather, was owned during the early part of the nineteenth century by Dr. Thomas Williamson, United States Navy. Among the additions to the numismatic collection was a Portuguese half-dobra gold piece struck in Brazil in 1761, presented by Phillip Elting. From the International Nickel Co. came a collection of 48 nickel coins illustrating the types of coins of this metal now circulating in Albania, Austria,’ Belgium, Ecuador, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Morocco, Poland, Siam, Switzerland, Turkey, and Vatican City. The United States Mint transferred two examples each of the gold, silver, and 132 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933 bronze coins struck in the Denver, Philadelphia, and San Francisco Mints during 1932. Two bronze copies of the medal of award of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission, 1932, were presented by the commission. The directors of the French Mint presented an exceptionally artistic medal commemorating the tercentennial anni- versary of the birth of Benedict Spinoza. A special collection of 186 British medals commemorating the exploits of Admiral Edward Ver- non, R.N., during his expedition against the Spanish possessions in the Caribbean Sea, 1739-41, was lent for temporary exhibition by L. McCormick-Goodhart. A number of additions were made to the collection of military deco- rations. From the War Department came two examples of the recently reestablished United States military decoration, the Purple Heart. From the New Mexico National Guard, through Maj. Fred- erick R. Lafferty, the Museum received two examples of the long- service medal and drill-attendance medal of the type awarded to members of that guard. Six military decorations and six exquisitely _ executed miniatures of these decorations, all owned during the World War by Maj. Gen. George M. Burr, were presented by Mrs. Lydia K. Burr. The philatelic collections were increased by 3,971 specimens received from the Post Office Department, including examples of many United States and foreign commemorative stamps of more than the usual historical interest. INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS The transfer of historical materials from the Natural History Building to the Arts and Industries Building has complicated the problem of adequate space and furniture, but the arrangement has been greatly improved by the transfer. The art material has offered the greatest difficulties, as it is difficult to arrange busts, portraits, and historic scenes in a satisfactory manner owing to the architectural features of the walls of the building. Part of the collection of busts is shown on the tops of wall cases. The only series of paintings now shown with entire success is the Ferris collection of American historical subjects for which special alcoves were provided 2 years ago. This collection makes a splendid showing and harmonizes well with the costumes material exhibited in the same hall. The antiquarian material has been united and now includes a fine series of china, glass, silverware, and furniture relating to the develop- ment of the American home from about 1750 to 1850. The pieces of greatest importance are those associated with noted personages of American history, and material of this character is given the most REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM ise prominent location in the exhibition scheme. This section includes materials owned by George Washington, Thomas J efferson, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and many other important figures in American history. An exhibit of unusual historical interest installed during the year included examples of coins, tokens, and paper currency issued by local and State authorities and by private individuals and commer- cial firms in the United States from the Colonial period to the present time. Of equal importance are many examples of metal currency known as ‘‘tokens” that were produced in the United States during the financial panic of 1837 and during the Civil War. This special exhibit also included coins and currency made during the period of the Confederation prior to the establishment of the United States Mint and the first issue by that establishment of the official series of United States coins, which began in 1793. The value of the philatelic material for exhibition purposes was greatly increased by the installation of a special series of electric fixtures, which not only light the cabinets but also the nearby wall cases contaiing the Richard Mansfield collection of historical theatrical costumes. NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DIVISION During the past year 5,537 specimens were received and 227 speci- mens were returned to the owners. The number of specimens included in each of the classes of materials assigned to the division is given below. The library material, which includes documents and publications of historical interest, has received few additions in recent years, as material of this character is no longer included in the field of work of the division.
