REPORT ON THE PROGRESS AND CONDITION OF
THE U. 8S. NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR THE
YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1907.

By RIcHARD RATHBUN,

. Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in charge of the U. S. National Museum.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS.
INCEPTION AND HISTORY.

The inception and history of the National Museum have often been
discussed in the opening pages of the annual report. Congress, in
the act of August 10, 1846, founding the Smithsonian Institution,
recognized that an opportunity was afforded, in carrying out the
large-minded design of Smithson, to provide for the custody of the
museum of the nation. To this new establishment was therefore
intrusted the care of the national collections, a course that time has
fully justified. *

In the beginning the cost of maintaining the museum side of the
Institution’s work was wholly paid from the Smithsonian income;
then for a number of years the Government bore a share, and during
the past three decades Congress has voted sufficient funds to cover the
expenses of the Museum, thus furthering one of the primary means
“for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men” without
encroaching upon the resources of the Institution.

The museum idea was inherent in the establishment of the Smith-
sonian Institution, which in its turn was based upon a ten years’ dis-
cussion in Congress and the advice of the most distinguished scientific
men, educators, and intellectual leaders of the nation of seventy years
ago. It is interesting to note how broad and comprehensive were the
views which actuated our lawmakers in determining the scope of the
Museum, a fact especially remarkable when it is recalled that at that
date no museum of considerable size existed in the United States, and
the museums of England and of the continent of Europe were still to
a large extent without a developed plan, although containing many
rich collections.

The Congress which passed the act of foundation enumerated as

» within the scope of the Museum * all objects of art and of foreign

and curious research and all objects of natural history, plants, and
geological and mineralogical specimens belonging to the United
States,” thus stamping the Museum at the very outset as one of the
widest range and at the same time as the Museum of the United
States. It was also fully appreciated that additions would be neces-
sary to the collections then in existence, and provision was made for
their increase by the exchange of duplicate specimens, by donations
and by other means.

If the wisdom of Congress in so fully providing for a museum in
the Smithsonian law challenges attention, the interpretation put
upon this law by the Board of Regents within less than six months
from the passage of the act can not but command admiration. In the
early part of September, 1846, the Regents took steps toward formu-
lating a plan of operations. The report of the committee appointed
for this purpose, submitted in December and January following,
shows a thorough consideration of the subject in both the spirit and
the fetter of the law. It would seem not out of place to cite here the
very first pronouncement of the Board with reference to the char-
acter of the Museum:

“In obedience to the requirements of the charter," which leaves
little discretion in regard to the extent of accommodations to be pro-
vided, your committee recommend that there be included in the build-
ing a museum of liberal size, fitted up to receive the collections
destined for the Institution. * * *

“As important as the cabinets of natural history by the charter
required to be included in the Museum your committee regard its eth-
nological portion, includmeg all collections that may supply items in
the physical history of our species, and illustrate the manners, cus-
toms, religions, and progressive advance of the various nations of
the world; as, for example, collections of skulls, skeletons, portraits,
dresses, implements, weapons, idols, antiquities, of the various races
of man, * * Tn this connexion, your committee recommend
the passage of resolutions asking the cooperation of certain public
functionaries, and of the public generally, in furtherance of the
above objects.

* Your committee are further of opinion that in the Museum, if the
funds of the Institution permit, might judiciously be included various
series of models illustrating the progress of some of the most useful
inventions; such, for example, as the steam engine from its earliest
and rudest form to its present most improved state; but this they
propose only so far as it may not encroach on ground already covered
by the numerous models in the Patent Office.

“Since the Institution was not chartered in a legal sense but established by
Congress, the use of the word “ charter” in this connection would seem to be
unauthorized. It was not subsequently eraployed.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. |

* Specimens of staple materials, of their gradual manufacture, and
of the finished products of manufactures and the arts may also, your
committee think, be usefully introduced. This would supply oppor-
tunity to examine samples of the best manufactured articles our
country affords, and to judge her gradual progress in arts and manu-
factures. * * *

“The gallery of art, your committee think, should include both
paintings and sculpture, as well as engravings and architectural
designs; and it is desirable to have in connexion with it one or more
studios in which young artists might copy without interruption, being
admitted under such regulations as the board may prescribe. Your
committee also think that, as the collection of paintings and sculpture
will probably accumulate slowly, the room destined for a gallery of
art might properly and usefully meanwhile be occupied during the
sessions of Congress as an exhibition room for the works of artists
generally; and the extent and general usefulness of such an exhibi-
tion might probably be increased if an arrangement could be effected
with the Academy of Design, the Arts-Union, the Artists’ Fund
Society, and other associations of similar character, so as to concen-
trate at the metropolis for a certain portion of each winter the best
results of talent in the fine arts.”

The important points in this report are, (1) that it was the opinion
of the Regents that a museum was requisite under the law, Congress
having left no discretion in the matter; (2) that ethnology and
anthropology, though not specially named, were yet as important
subjects as natural history; (3) that the history of the progress of
useful inventions and the collection of the raw materials and products
of the manufactures and arts should also be provided for; (4) for the
gallery of art the committee had models in existence, and they pro-
posed, pending the gathering of art collections, which would of neces-
sity be slow, to provide for loan exhibitions by cooperating with art
academies and societies.

In the resolutions which were adopted upon the presentation of
this report, a museum was mentioned as * one of the principal modes
of executing the act and trust.”” The work was to go forward as
the funds permitted, and, as is well known, the maintenance of the

a Resolved, That it is the intention of the act of Congress establishing the
Institution, and in accordance with the design of Mr. Smithson, as expressed in
his will, that one of the principal modes of executing the act and the trust is the
accumulation of collections of specimens and objects of natural history and of
elegant art, and the gradual formation of a library of valuable works pertaining —
to all departments of human knowledge, to the end that a copious storehouse of
materials of science, literature, and art may be provided which shall excite and
diffuse the love of learning among men, and shall assist the original investiga-
tions and efforts of those who may devote themselves to the pursuit of any
branch of knowledge.

10 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

museum and the hbrary was long ago assumed by Congress, the
Institution taking upon itself only so much of the necessary respon-
sibility for the administration of these and subsequent additions to
its activities as would weld them into a compact whole, which to-
gether form a unique and notable agency for the increase and diffu-
sion of knowledge, for the direction of research, for cooperation with
Departments of the Government and with universities and scientific
societies in America, and likewise afford a definite correspondent to
all scientific institutions and men abroad who seek interchange of
views or knowledge with men of science in the United States.

Since that early day no material change has been suggested in the
general scope of the Government museum; it has only remained to
elaborate the details, and the opportunity is now close at hand to
realize all that the first Board had in view, since ample space will be -
available within another two years.

The development of the museum has naturally been greatest in
those subjects which the conditions of the past sixty years have made
most fruitful—the natural history, geology, ethnology, and arche-
ology of the United States, supplemented by many collections from
other countries. The opportunities in these directions have been
mainly brought about through the activities of the scientific and
economic surveys of the Government, many of which are the direct
outgrowths of earlier explorations, stimulated or directed by the
Institution. The Centennial Exhibition of 1876 afforded the first
opportunity for establishing a department of the industrial arts on
a creditable basis, and of this the fullest advantage was taken, though
only a part of the collections then obtained could be accommodated
in the space available.

The department or gallery of the fine arts had made little progress,
though not from lack of desire or appreciation, until within the past
eighteen months, during which its interests have been markedly
advanced, as elsewhere explained.

Another subject to which much attention has been paid with grati-
fying results is American history, illustrated by objects representing
distinguished personages and important events as well as the domestic
life of the country from the colonial period to the present day.

It has been deemed appropriate to present the foregoing brief
review of the scope of the national collections, in this connection,
since the time is near when they may be given an orderly arrange-
ment and when the subjects least developed from lack of space may
have the opportunity for growth. By transferring to the new build-
ing, as proposed to Congress, the subjects which are best represented,
which have been as a whole most completely classified and can, there-
fore, be most advantageously exhibited for the benefit of the public,
namely, ethnology, archeology, natural history, and geology, the pres-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 11

ent museum building may be given over to the arts and industries.
In several branches of this subject the collections are already impor-
tant and extensive, and arrangements are under way for large and
valuable additions. Certain halls in the Smithsonian building were
originally planned for the gallery of fine arts, and with a moderate
expenditure they can be adjusted to suit the requirements of to-day.

With its collections thus distributed between the three buildings,
all fireproof and of substantial construction, the National Museum
may be expected to enter upon an era of renewed prosperity and
usefulness.

While it is the primary duty of a museum to preserve the objects
confided to its care, as it is that of a brary to preserve its books and
manuscripts, yet the importance of public collections rests not upon
the mere basis of custodianship, nor upon the number of specimens
assembled and their money value, but upon the use to which they are
put. Judged by this standard, the National Museum may claim to
have reached a high state of efficiency. From an educational point of
view it is of great value to those persons who are so fortunate as to
reside in Washington or who are able to visit the nation’s capital. In
its well-designed cases, in which every detail of structure, appoint-
ments, and color is considered, a selection of representative objects 1s
placed upon view to the public, all being carefully labeled individu-
ally and in groups. The child as well as the adult has been provided
for, and the kindergarten pupil and the high school scholar can be
seen here, supplementing their class-room games. or studies. Under
authority from Congress, the small colleges and higher grades of
schools and academies throughout the land, especially in places where
museums do not exist, are also being aided in their educational work
by sets of duplicate specimens, selected and labeled to meet the needs
of both teachers and pupils.

Nor has the elementary or even the higher education been by any
means the sole gainer from the work of the Museum. ‘To advance
knowledge, to gradually extend the boundaries of learning, has been
one of the great tasks to which the Museum, in consonance with the
spirit of the Institution, has set itself from the first. Its staff, though
chiefly engaged in the duties incident to the care, classification, and
labeling of collections in order that they may be accessible to the pub-
he and to students, has yet in these operations made important dis-
coveries in every department of the Museum’s activities, which have
in turn been communicated to other scholars through its numerous
publications. But the collections have not been held for the study of
the staff nor for the scientific advancement of those belonging to the
establishment. Most freely have they been put at the disposal of
investigators connected with other institutions, and, in fact, without
the help of many such the record of scientific progress based upon the

12 REPORT OF NATIONAT. MUSEUM, 1907.

material in the Museum would be greatly curtailed. When it is pos-
sible to so arrange the investigator comes to Washington; otherwise
such collections as he needs are sent to him, whether he resides in
this country or abroad. In this manner practically every prominent
specialist throughout the world interested in the subjects here well
represented has had some use of the collections, and thereby the
National Museum has come to be recognized as a conspicuous factor
in the advancement of knowledge wherever civilization has a foot-
hold.

SOME IMPORTANT MATTERS OF THE YEAR.

-The most noteworthy feature of the year was the remarkable ad-
vance made in the subject of the fine arts, assuring the definite
organization of the National Gallery of Art on a proper basis.

The new granite building for the Museum was carried to such a
height that some idea may now be gained of its future appearance
and of its adequacy for accommodating those branches of the Na-
tional collections—natural history, geology, and anthropology—for
which Congress authorized its erection. The repairs in progress on
the present Museum building, including the renewal of the roofs and
the isolation of the several halls, conducted under the ordinary
appropriations, are accomplishing all that was anticipated, the thor-
ough renovation of the structure and its adaptation to the collections
bearing on the arts and industries, the extension of which has long
been retarded by the lack of space.

The additions made to the collections of the Museum, not including
the fine arts, were comprised in 1398 accessions and numbered about
250,000 specimens. They were obtained mainly through transfers
of material from several bureaus of the Government and through
donation and exchange from private sources, some of the gifts having
been especially noteworthy from their size and value.

The most important accessions in ethnology came from the Philip-
pine Islands and the Kongo region of Africa, Excavations at the
famous Casa Grande ruin in Arizona were productive of a large col-
lection of ancient Indian relics, and many archeological specimens
were also received from Central America and Mexico. The division
of physical anthropology was especially favored in several of its
lines of inquiry, while the collection of firearms illustrating the
colonial and national military service of the United States was in-
creased to the extent of making it the most complete of its kind in
existence.

The Bureau of Fisheries transmitted exceptionally large and valu-
able collections in zoology, obtained during recent investigations in
different regions, the most important being the results of an expedi-
tion by the steamer Albatross to the northwestern part of the Pacific

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 13

Ocean and the Okhotsk Sea. Noteworthy series of mammals, birds,
and reptiles were obtained from the Philippine Islands and other
interesting localities. Of fishes, 25,000 specimens were received; of
insects, 44,000 specimens, and of plants, 47,000 specimens.

The additions to the section of fossil invertebrates were especially
notable, amounting to over 115,000 specimens. They were acquired
partly by transfer from the Geological Survey and partly by
donation.

No material changes were made in the exhibition halls, except in
connection with the fine arts, as described elsewhere. About 16,000
duplicate specimens were distributed to schools and colleges, and
some 25,000 were used in making exchanges. The classification of the
collections, especially those recently received, has necessitated an ex-
ceptional amount of painstaking investigations, resulting in the prep-
aration of many important scientific contributions. The publications
for the year comprised 8 volumes and 4 parts of volumes.

While field researches were engaged in at different times of the
vear by a few members of the staff, the trips were all of relatively
short duration, though they resulted in extensive additions to the
collections and the filling of many gaps.

The Museum is represented at the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Ex-
position by a comprehensive historical exhibit, and at the Inter-
national Maritime Exposition at Bordeaux, France, by a few striking
examples and models of aboriginal water craft and early steamboats.

NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART.

Reference is made on pages 7, 8, and 9 of this report to the action
by Congress in 1846, charging the Smithsonian Institution with the
custodianship of all objects of art belonging to the United States,
and to the initial plan proposed on the part of the Board of Regents
for carrying out this important provision of the fundamental law.

In the Smithsonian building, which was immediately put in course
of erection, two rooms were especially designed for the collections of
art—the west hall and connecting range on the main floor. These
quarters were so used for a time in conjunction with the library and
reading room, but the accommodations proved so inadequate that it
became necessary to also devote to the same purpose a part of the
large upper hall now occupied by the collection of prehistoric
archeology.

Examples of art were among the very first acquisitions by the Insti-
tution, and from time to time thereafter additions of one kind and
another were received, but any sum that might have been spared for
this purpose from the Smithsonian income would have been wholly
insufficient to make any pronounced or systematic progress in this

te

14 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

direction. In the National Museum, however, certain branches of art
have been fostered for over a quarter of a century and are now fairly
well represented.

The first collection purchased by the Institution was the valuable
series of prints assembled by the Hon. Geerge P. Marsh, containing
examples of the work of nearly every etcher and engraver of celeb-
rity from the early masters to the middle of the last century.
Though not the largest, it was recognized as the choicest collection of
its kind then in this country. Later accessions included, besides en-
eravings, a number of paintings, reproductions of celebrated pieces
of sculpture, busts of distinguished individuals, and many important
books on art.

The early exhibition in the upper Smithsonian hall consisted
mainly of the unique collections of Indian portraits and scenes by
J. M. Stanley, C. B. King, and others, but in the fire of 1865 this
section of the gallery with its contents was entirely destroyed. The
objects on the lower floor escaped injury and were subsequently
deposited for safe-keeping in the Library of Congress and_ the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, where they remained until about ten years
ago. Since that time one of the rooms in the eastern part of the
Smithsonian building has been utilized for the prints, books, and
rarious other works of art, but the larger part of the collection has
been provided for in the National Museum.

Such, briefly, was the history of the art exhibits up to January,
1906, when the acceptance by the Board of Regents of the large and
notable collection of Mr. Charles L. Freer marked the beginning of
a new epoch in the affairs of the gallery of art. In the following
July a further advance was made through the acquisition of the
valuable collection of the late Harriet Lane Johnston, based upon a
decision of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, essentially
reaffirming the intent of the fundamental act, that the custodianship
of the National Gallery of Art was vested in the Smithsonian Insti-
tution. This collection is especially noteworthy in that it contains
paintings by several celebrated masters, besides other pieces of merit
and of historical importance. It was delivered to the Institution in
the early part of August, 1906, and was at once installed in the
reception room in the Smithsonian building, the only place then
available.

The necessity of securing more extensive quarters without delay
led to the selection and temporary fitting up of the lecture hall in
the Museum building for the purposes of the gallery and especially
for the paintings. On the completion of these changes in the latter
part of November, 1906, the Harriet Lane Johnston collection and
other paintings were iransferred there, and these, with several loans
and donations. fully occupy the existing wall space. Among the

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, :1907. i

loans should be mentioned twenty-one paintings from the Lucius
Tuckerman collection, and among the gifts, one by the Hon. J. B.
Henderson, a Regent of the Institution, and one by Miss Eleanor
Blodgett, of New York.

During the latter part of the winter the gallery received a most
substantial and gratifying recognition from Mr. William T. Evans, of
Montclair, New Jersey, the well-known connoisseur and patron of
art, whose contribution, made without solicitation, consisted of 52
paintings in oil by American artists of established reputation. Un-
fortunately, no place could be found in the Museum building for
this valuable collection, and it was necessary to provide elsewhere for
its temporary keeping. This has been accomplished through the
courtesy of the trustees of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, where the
pictures are now hung, filling the greater part of the large atrium.

Leaving out of consideration the Freer collection, which is to
remain at the home of its generous donor during his lifetime, the
National Gallery now has in its possession valuable paintings and
other art objects for whose exhibition under suitable conditions it
is Important to arrange without delay. For this purpose there is no
better place in the existing buildings than the second story of the
main part of the Smithsonian building, a hall 200 feet long by 50
feet wide. It will require some changes to adapt it to the hanging
and lighting of pictures, and some improvement in its approaches,
which are now inconvenient for the public, involving an expenditure
greater than is possible from the current appropriation, but it 1s
hoped that Congress will provide for this work at its forthcoming
session.

NEW BUILDING FOR THE NATIONAL MUSEUM.

Work on the new building has not progressed as rapidly as was
expected, owing to delays in the delivery of the granite which is to
compose the greater part of the outer walls. The fault has lain
both with the quarry and with the railroad leading therefrom, the
former having already violated the time limit of its contract by a
considerable period, and the latter having neglected to furnish the
necessary cars when called upon to do so. This delay has not only
‘aused annoyance, but is resulting in a pecuniary loss to the Gov-
ernment through the deterioration of large collections held in
storage, and in other ways.

At the beginning of the fiscal year, July 1, 1906, the basement
walls and piers and the steel framework and brick arches resting
upon them had been completed except at the south and north
pavilions, and work had been commenced on the court walls of the
main story. The few architectural changes contemplated in the two
pavilions, the former containing the main entrance and rotunda, the

16 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

latter affording access from Tenth street, had been finally planned
and the contract for the cutting of the stone was awarded soon
afterwards.

At the close of the year the stonework on the eastern section of
the building had been carried to the top of the second story, melud-
ing the lintels, but on the western section only a few of the piers
had been completed. The court walls had also been constructed to
about the same height, but lack of stone prevented the extension of
the walls of the two pavilions above the basement, except at the
sides of the northern one. The steel work and arches between the
first and second stories were in place.

Of the principal structural features there still remain the com-
pletion of the second story on the western side, the placing of the
cormice which caps this entire story, the building of the upper story
with its floor and roof, and the erection of the pavilions, of which
the southern one involves a large amount of stonework. Fortu-
nately the granite and steel girders for the upper story have been
delivered, and the materials for the roof are obtainable on short
notice. In fact, there have been no delays in securing supplies of all
kinds except the white Vermont granite, of which the exterior walls
will mainly consist.

priations made for same.”

BUILDINGS.

The progress of the work on the new building for the National
Museum has already been deseribed.

The bad condition of most of the roofs on the present Museum
building and the efforts made for their improvement have often
been discussed in previous reports. Apart from the corner pavilions
and central towers, which contain the work rooms and offices, there
are seventeen large exhibition halls, each with its separate roof,
though all are connected by intervening metal gutters. Eight of
these roofs, covering the same number of ranges which adjoin the
outer walls of the buildings, were constructed originally of tin, and
have called only for such attention and amount of repair as might
customarily have been expected. The other nine roofs, being those
over the four main halls, the four courts and the central rotunda,
were, however, built of slate, a material too heavy for the support-
ing iron framework, and unsuitable for the relatively slight pitch of
these roofs. They rapidly deteriorated to such an extent as to act
almost like sieves, allowing the rain to penetrate during every storm,
with the result of damaging the walls and causing much injury to the
contents of the halls. Continuous and expensive repairs proved
ineffective.

It finally became evident that the only remedy lay in the entire
replacement of the slate roofs. In accordance with the plans here-
tofore explained, these roofs were to be of tin on the upper or ex-
posed surface, with an inner sheathing of thin sheet steel. The work
was taken up in July, 1906, and continued until winter, during which
period five of the roofs were renewed in an entirely satisfactory man-
ner. It is expected that three of the remainder can be rebuilt dur-
ing the next fiscal year, leaving only that over the rotunda for the
summer of 1908. The completion of this undertaking should place
the structural part of the building in even better condition than it
-was in the beginning. It has, fortunately, been possible to carry on
this reconstruction without materially disturbing the contents of the
halls, or closing to the public more than small areas of the floor at
any stage of the work.

The lecture hall in the Museum building, as mentioned elsewhere,
was temporarily fitted up at small expense for the immediate pur-
poses of the National Gallery of Art. The changes consisted mainly
in closing all openings into the hall, except the necessary doorways,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 19

by fireproof material, and the installation of electric lamps for suit-
ably lighting the pictures and for the general illumination of the hall.

The only further advance made in the isolation of the different
halls, as a measure toward preventing the spread of fire, was the
filling in of several of the large openings between the piers on the
south side of the southwest court.

There were acquired during the year, both by construction in the
shops and by outside contracts, 8 exhibition cases, 122 storage cases,
89 miscellaneous pieces of furniture, and 1,721 standard drawers,
of which 300 were of metal. The number of articles of furniture
now on hand, many being of very large size, is as follows: 2,342
exhibition cases, 2,401 storage cases, 1,676 pieces of miscellaneous
furniture, and 37,581 drawers, boxes, etc., used in connection with
both the exhibition and storage of specimens. There has been the
customary amount of repair and renovation of cases, addition and
improvement of fixtures, etc. The experiments looking to the intro-
duction of metal or fireproof storage furniture was continued during
the year, and important conclusions were reached in several direc-
tions. This work has special reference to the fitting up of the new
building, in which it is desirable to provide for the absolute safety
of the national collections.

The appropriation for the heating and hghting of the buildings
has, as in previous years, proved inadequate, causing much incon-
venience. Steam was first raised in the boilers on October 2, 1906,
and was shut down on May 12, 1907, but since it could not be main-
tained, on an average, more than about twelve hours a day, it has
been impossible during the colder weather to bring the large halls
to a proper temperature at the time of opening in the morning.

Changes in the electric installation begun the previous year were
continued and completed. The means have not permitted the use of
electric hghts beyond the most ordinary needs, however, and during
many afternoons in winter extensive parts of the exhibition halls
become so dark at an early hour as to prevent the collections they
contain from being examined.

ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS.

The number of accessions received during the year, not including
the subject of the fine arts, was 1,398, comprising a total of about
250,000 specimens, of which nearly 4,000 were anthropological, about
145,000 biological, and over 100,000 geological and paleontological.
A complete list of these additions is given in the latter part of this
report; the more important ones were as follows:

Anthropology.—In physical anthropology one of the principal
accessions Was a unique series of about 100 human long bones and

scapule, obtained in exchange from the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, New York. The specimens were selected by Doctor
Hrdlitka with the view of illustrating all of the principal types of
normal variation in size and shape. Twelve skulls of the extinct
Huron Indians and a number of other human bones were received
in exchange from Laval University, Quebec, through Mer. J. C. K.
Laflamme, and another normal, well-preserved skull of the same
tribe was donated by Prof. Henry Montgomery, of the University of
Toronto. The skull of a Panama Indian, collected by Edward
Barson and transferred by the Bureau of American Ethnology, 1s
the first of its kind obtained from the Isthmus. Other interesting
specimens were contributed by Lieut. J. R. Harris, assistant surgeon,
U.S. Army; Dr. R. H. Fuhrmann, of St. Louis, Missouri; and Drs,
J. D. Murray, D. S. Lamb, W. J. Tompkins, E. L. Morgan, and
J. E. Mitchell, of Washington. As in previous years, a considerable
number of the brains of mammals and birds were prepared for the
comparative brain series, the specimens from which they were
obtained having come mainly from the National Zoological Park,
and partly as donations from Mr, KE. 5. Schmid, of Washington.
Among the accessions in ethnology were two gifts from the Presi-
dent of the United States
mens collected in the Kongo region of Africa by Mr. Clarence Rice

an American Indian poncho and 50 speci-

Slocum, late consul-general at Boma. Maj. E. A. Mearns, surgeon,
U.S. Army, made important additions in continuation of his pre-
vious contributions, consisting of implements, utensils, and weapons
of the Philippine peoples, and especially of a collection of baskets
showing remarkable weaving from the rarely visited island of
Palmas, off the southeast end of Mindanao. Mr. A. F. Dresel, of
Nelson, Virginia, donated a Cherokee blowgun and two arrows; Dr.
J. R. Harris, U. S. Army, a collection of ethnological specimens
gathered by him during service in the Philippines; and Mrs. L. E.
Bland, of Whiteabbey, Antrim, Treland, a nest of Malacca baskets
and seven samples of old and modern Malacca native lace. Of loans
to the division mention may be made of sixteen pieces obtained in
Mexico by the late Rev. J. Hendrickson McCarty and deposited by
Mrs. L. N. F. MeCarty, of Washington; a collection of embroideries
and other art treasures from Mrs. A. C. Barney, of Washington; and
a superb ancient Korean inlaid silver tobacco box from Dr. William
Hl. Dall, of the Museum. Fifteen specimens, besides photographs
and drawings, of Danish, Icelandic, Swiss, and Caucasian weaving
devices for making tape were received in exchange from Mr. Henry
Volkart, of St. Gall, Switzerland; and a woman’s costume from
Dalecarlia, Sweden, together with a child’s dress, cap, and apron,
from Mrs. J. Howard Gore, of Washington. <A collection of Green-
land Eskimo specimens and of historical objects from the Greely

Arctic Expedition, collected by Dr. Octave Pavy, surgeon of the
expedition, were purchased, as were. also two rare Chilcootin baskets.

One of the most important donations in prehistoric archeology
was received from Dr. L. A. Wailes, of New Orleans, Louisi-
ana. The collection came from Central and South America and
may be briefly described as follows: From the Peten district in
Guatemala small baked clay heads representing various types of
physiognomy and head gear, fragments of large earthenware vases,
mainly ornamental parts showing the human face; portions of fig-
ures of vases with hands, arms, feet, and legs, modeled in the round,
the feet showing sandals and the method of attachment; other frag-
ments representing animal forms, apparently finished in a kind
of glaze; pottery whistles, a clay spindle whorl, a small polished
stone chisel, and a piece of rosewood with human face carved in pro-
file. From Costa Rica, small carved-stone images, earthernware
vases (mainly tripods), and a pottery whistle representing a toad.
From Chiriqui, Panama, earthernware vessels and polished stone
hatchets, the latter being characteristic of that locality, hexagonal
in section with beveled surfaces; a polished stone hatchet from Mex-
ico, an obsidian knife from Honduras, and a pottery bowl of black
polished ware, with four animal figures grouped about the rim,
from Venezuela.. Mr. A. H. Blackiston, of El Paso, Texas, sent as
a loan a collection of stone and pottery objects from the Casas
Grandes Valley, Chihuahua, Mexico, containing many fine examples
of earthernware ollas, bowls, dishes, effigy vases, ete., with painted
and incised decorations. The effigy vases representing human, quad-
ruped, and bird forms are remarkable. Among the stone objects are
grooved axes, hammers, pestles and mortars, bandstones, grooved
arrowshaft straighteners, polishing and discoidal stones, medicine
bowls or dishes, notched and grooved stones, amulets, pendants,
charm or medicine stones, paint stones, a large circular stone with
central hole believed to have been used in a ball game and a number
of stone balis, shell beads, pendants and ornaments, bone awls, and
a carved bone amulet. This material has been instailed with objects
from the same locality previously lent by Mr. Blackiston, and to-
gether they form a very noteworthy exhibit. The Rev. Robert C.
Nightingale, of Swaffham, England, donated an interesting collec-
tion of ancient stone implements and fragments of Romano-British
urns, obtained in the vicinity of Norfolk, England. The stone
objects include hammers, flint cores, flakes, knives and = scrapers;
the pottery, representing seven different vessels, was found in an
old earthwork on which, according to persistent tradition, a temple
of Diana formerly stood.

Brig. Gen. P. Henry Ray, U.S. Army, presented several exception.

concave surfaces; they were found together about a foot below the
surface, in the hills along the French Broad River, near Asheville,
North Carolina, on the site of an old Indian camping place. Prof.
EK. H. Randle, of Hernando, Mississippi, sent as an exchange a collec-
tion of stone implements and other objects, including large chipped
blades (digging tools), showing high polish at the broad cutting end ;
leaf-shaped blades, worked flakes, spearheads and arrow points of
flint; polished stone hatchets, one of unusual form; hammer stones,
mortar and pestles, stone balls, mullers of stone and hematite; dis-
coidal stones, and an exceptionally fine hematite plummet or sinker.
The collection is mainly from western Tennessee and contains many
good pieces. The Bureau of American Ethnology transferred to the
Museum a number of leaf-shaped blades of rhyolite, from caches
recently discovered near Tennallytown, District of Columbia. Dr.
Henri Martin, of Paris, France, transmitted in exchange many flint
implements, serapers, knives, points, ete., from a deposit at La Quina,
Charente, France. The President of the United States donated a
collection of small earthenware figurines, vessels, and whistles from
ancient graves in Panama, presented to him on the occasion of his
visit to the Canal Zone in 1906. A small unique ornament of pa-
godite, found near a large Indian mound 5 miles south of Washing-
ton, Wilkes County, Georgia, was contributed by Mr. Barry Benson.
Casts of several interesting stone objects, borrowed for the purpose,
were made in the laboratory of the department.

During the excavations made to uncover the ancient ruins of Casa
Grande, Arizona, under a special act of Congress, Dr. J. W. Fewkes,
in charge of the work, discovered several hundred small objects which
could not be safely left at the spot, and they were accordingly brought
to the Museum. They consisted of stone implements, pottery vessels,
articles of shell and bone, wooden implements and beams, textile
fabrics and basket work, and a number of human skulls and skeletons.

The principal accession to the division of historic archeology com-
prised specimens of Greco-Egyptian papyri, a gift from the Egypt
Exploration Fund. ,

The division of technology received a number of very valuable ad-
ditions, the most important of which was the transfer from the War
Department of a collection of 115 rifles, muskets, carbines, and pistols,
principally obsolete weapons used by the United States Army between
1800 and 1860. It includes a variety of pieces made at the Govern-
ment armories at Springfield, Massachusetts, and Harpers Ferry,
West Virginia, and examples of the work of several private con-
tractors who manufactured guns of the Springfield pattern for the
Government. Among the latter are muskets made by Asa Waters,
Millbury, Massachusetts, in 1820, 1821, 1822, 1825, 1826, and 1827;

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 23

by Lemuel Pomeroy, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in 1823, 1828, and
1829; by B. Evans, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, in 1826, and by P.
and E. Blake, New Haven, Connecticut. An especially rare and in-
teresting piece is a United States military musket made by the Colt’s
Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company in 1863. There are also
a valuable group of Hall’s breech-loading rifles and carbines, show-
ing the development of this arm, which was the first breechloader
used in the United States Army, and a number of Jenks’ breech-
loading rifles and carbines of different models. Many of these pieces
possess much individual interest and they serve a valuable purpose in
filling gaps in the Museum collection.

As a separate accession there was also received from the War De-
partment a Westley-Richards double-barrel, muzzle-loading, percus-
sion shotgun of a very superior quality and finish, said to have been
at one time in the possession of John B. Floyd, Secretary of War
under President Buchanan; one Harpers Ferry musket, model of
1856, and a pair of Colt’s army revolvers made especially for pre-
sentation to a prominent military officer. The Harpers Ferry musket
has a round, bronzed, smooth bore, 33-inch barrel of .70 caliber, with
a full walnut stock, brass mountings, and percussion cap lock with
Maynard tape primer. It was evidently designed as a pattern for use
in fabricating guns of this model and is accompanied by a number of
steel gauges. The Colt’s revolvers are dated 1862, have 8-inch 4
caliber barrels, and solid, bronzed metal handles. The entire piece
is elaborately and richly decorated and much of the metal work is
gold plated. Combustible envelope cartridges and percussion caps
were used with them.

The Museum now has examples of typical guns, of the Springfield
pattern, made for and used by the United States Army, of the fol-
lowing dates: 1800, 1814, 1817, 1820, 1821, 1822, 1825, 1826, 1827,
1831, 1833, 1840, 1844, 1845, 1848, 1850, 1851, 1853, 1854, 1855, 1856,
1858. 1859, 1860, 1862, 1863, 1864, 1865, 1866, 1868, 1869, 1870, 1873,
1881, and 1884. The collection is the most comprehensive of its
kind in existence. The efforts of the Museum have also been ex-
tended to gathering and placing on record all the necessary data for
the presentation of a complete history of the subject which these
arms illustrate.

The Department of the Interior transferred to the Museum 30
models of important historical inventions, which had been prepared
by the United States Patent Office for exhibition at the principal
expositions held during the past ten or fifteen years. The most
notable objects represented are: Hero’s steam engine, made 150
B. C., a grain-harvesting machine used in Gaul, A. D. 70, the Guten-
burg printing press of 1440, Papin Deny’s steam engine of 1600,

24 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

Trevethick’s locomotive of 1804, Stephenson’s locomotive of 1829,
Pixii’s magneto machine of 1832, Thomas Blanchard’s turning lathe
of 1843, and the grain-harvesting machines patented by James Boyce
in 1799 and by William Manning in 1831. There is also a series of
primitive looms of Egyptian, Roman, and East Indian types, and a
Navajo Indian loom. The spinning industry is illustrated by early
East Indian and English spinning wheels, Arkwright’s machine of
1769, Thomas Hargraves’ spinning jenny of 1770, Wilham Pea-
body’s wheel of 1812, Peter Paddleford’s machine of 1816, and Moses
Day’s machine of 1836. A number of pieces of apparatus devised
and used by Emile Berliner, of Washington, between 1867 and 1879,
illustrating important steps in the development of his inventions
relative to the battery telephone transmitter, were deposited by the
American Bell Telephone Company. The Santos-Dumont airship
No. 9, was presented to the Museum by Mr. Edward C. Boyce, of
New York.

For exhibition in the division of ceramics, Miss E. R. Scidmore,
of Washington, has lent a fine collection of pottery, gathered during
her visits to Japan. It consists of 90 pieces, including examples of
Seto, Satsuma, Takatori, Ninsei, Bizen, Kioto, Iga, Tokonamo,
Owari, Oribe, Raku, Karatzu, Kiomidzu, Awata, and some Korean
ware and ivory white porcelain. For several years past, through the
initiative of Mr. Frank R. Haynes, chairman of the Art and Design
Committee of the American Potters’ Association, a number of Ameri-

can potters have been contributing samples of their best work to the
national collection. The gifts from this source during the past year
were as follows: An art vase from the Pope-Gosser China Company,
of Coshocton, Ohio; examples of Nipur and metalline ware from the
Cook Pottery Company, of Trenton, New Jersey; two specimens of
crystal patina ware from the Clifton Art Pottery, of Newark, New
Jersey; a specimen of overglaze pottery from Mr. S. A. Weller, of
Zanesville, Ohio, and five historical plates of blue Wedgewood ware
from the Jones, McDuffee & Stratton Company, of Boston, Massachu-
setts. The Fostoria Glass Company, of Moundsville, West Virginia,
presented 21 specimens of etched glass. From the Pennsylvania
Museum and School of Industrial Art, at Philadelphia, there were
obtained by exchange 5 pieces of porcelain made about 1825 by Wil-
liam Tucker, of Philadelphia, whose factory suspended in 1838, and
a small octagonal earthen dish with slip decoration made by Pennsyl-
vania German potters about 1830. The former ware was the first
hard-paste porcelain produced in the United States and is now very
rare. Mr. B. P. Richardson, of New York City, donated a specimen
of Rouen ware, and Mr. Harold I. Sewall, of Bar Harbor, Maine,
deposited a pair of blue and white jars of Chinese porcelain, pur-
chased at the recent Heber R. Bishop sale.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 25

An important addition to the division of graphic arts consisted of
a set of 42 volumes of Voltaire’s works, bound in full Persian
morocco, reproducing in 15 designs many of the rare and beauti-
fully bound books of the courts of Europe. It was the work of the
St. Hubert’s Guild of Art Craftsmen, Akron, Ohio, by whom it was
presented. Among the accessions in photography were 10 colored
photographs of the normal solar spectrum, purchased from Prof.
J. F. Ames, of Johns Hopkins University; a color photograph made
and presented by Mr. M. Miley, of Lexington, Virginia; 12 photo-
graphs in velox, royal velox, and royal bromide, the gift of the East-
man Company, of Rochester, New York; and a landscape in velox,
contributed by E. J. Pullman, of Washington.

Among muscial instruments the principal accession was a church
organ, said to have been in this country two hundred and three years.
It was presented by the vestry of St. Thomas Church, Hancock,
Maryland, from which it was recently removed. Especially note-
worthy among the additions to the division of medicine was a series
of photographs of eminent American physicians, who have been
prominently connected with the progress of medicine and surgery.
The original pictures were obtained from many sources, and the
copies made in the photographic laboratory of the Museum.

The division of history received 63 permanent accessions and 13
loans. The most important of the former consisted of personal relics
of the late Secretary Samuel Pierpont Langley, the gift of his family
to the Smithsonian Institution. They comprise a number of pieces
of apparatus of his own devising, illustrating some of his early
work, besides 15 medals, 77 diplomas, and other objects, all of which
have been arranged in one of the cases in the hall of history. To the
already large series of memorials of soldiers and sailors of the United
States there were added a sword presented to Rear- Admiral Shubrick
for distinguished services on the ship Constitution, lent by his grand-
daughter, Mrs. T. F. Bayard; the commissions of General Kilpatrick,
lent by his daughter, Mrs. Henry H. Morgan; a silver service of
Commodore John Kelly, presented by his daughter, Mrs. Ellen M.
Davis; the army uniform of Lieut. C. R. Carville, presented by Mrs.
E. C. Fiedler, and the sword carried by Col. Auneas Mackay, aid-de-
camp to Alexander Macomb, U. 8. Army, in the war of 1812, Semi-
nole war, and the war with Mexico, presented by Miss Cornelia
McK. Bogy.

Among the accessions to the division of historic religions were a
collection of lamps, amulets, and embroideries used in Jewish relig-
ious life, deposited by Hadji Ephraim Benguiat, of New York; a
Jewish prayer cap, lent by Dr. Harry Friedenwald, of Baltimore,
Maryland; two sets of Catholic priests’ vestments, one presented by
the Rev. Joseph Mendl, of Montclair, the other by the Pev. P. T.

96 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

Carew, of Ridgewood, New Jersey; a Catholic priest’s cassock, do-
nated by the Rey. John F. Fenton, D. D., Brookland, District of
Columbia, and a collection of 58 Chinese and Japanese rosaries,
deposited by Miss E. R. Scidmore, of Washington. The rosaries of
Miss Scidmore are of various materials and makes, and some are
finely carved; from the point of view of the study of religious senti-
ments and practices, they are highly interesting, as they invite a
comparison of the form and use of the rosary in Brahmanism,
Buddhism, Catholicism, and Mohammedanism.

Biology —One of the most noteworthy contributions to the depart-
ment of biology was a collection made in the Philippine Islands by
Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, U. S. Army, consisting chiefly of mammals,
birds, reptiles, fishes, and mollusks, many of which came from locali-
ties not heretofore explored by naturalists.

The Bureau of Fisheries transmitted large and important collec-
tions of fishes, mollusks, crustaceans, crinoids, and other marine
invertebrates, and many specimens of birds, from the expedition of
ihe steamer Albatross to the northwestern Pacifie Ocean in 1906,
during which the Okhotsk Sea, the Aleutian Islands, the Commander
Islands, Kamehatka, the Kuril Islands, and Japan were visited.
The same Bureau also transferred nearly 200 species of Japanese
fishes, including many new and rare forms, collected by Dr. Hugh M.
Smith, Deputy Commissioner of Fisheries, in 1903; the aleyonarian
corals (with 36 types) and the hydroids (with 25 types) from the
Hawaiian explorations of 1902, described by Prof. C. C. Nutting;
the meduse from the same source, reported on by Dr. A. G. Mayer;
% species of the myzostome parasite of crinoids from Japan, described
by Dr J. F. McClendon; specimens of the rare tumieate, Octacnemus,
from the Albatross cruise of 1904-5 in the eastern Pacific Ocean, and
over 3,000 specimens of fishes obtained by Prof. W. P. Hay in several
streams in West Virginia.

The principal transfers from the Department of Agriculture were
as follows: From the Bureau of Entomology, about 5,000 miscel-
laneous insects from various localities and 2,500 Lepidoptera from
Mexico presented by Mr. R. Muller; from the Biological Survey, 200
reptiles fron: Lower California, collected by Mr. E. W. Nelson and
Mr.-E. A. Goldman, and 448 specimens of plants; from the Bureau of
Plant Industry, 3,663 specimens of plants. A number of animals,
mainly mammals and birds, were received from the National
Zoological Park, the most important being a moose, Hama, Brazilian
tapir, thar, markhor, Bactrian camel, Hon, nilghai, zebu, rhea, and
California condor.

The principal accessions consisting wholly of mammals comprised
about 100 specimens, mostly bats, from Venezuela, Cuba, and Ja-
maica, presented by Capt. Wirt Robinson, U. S. Army; 29 specimens

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. PAL

from Kan-su Province, China, from Mr. W. W. Simpson; 27 speci-
mens from the Philippines, donated by Lieut. George C. Lewis, U. 5.
Army; a mounted skeleton of Gray’s beaked whale (J/esoplodon
gray), and a miscellaneous collection consisting of species not pre-
viously represented in the Museum, from Kashmir, Peru, Venezuela,
and England.

Through exchange with the Hon. J. E. Thayer, the Museum ob-
tained 177 specimens of humming birds from Costa Rica, comprising
26 species, one of which is new to the collection. A small collection
from various parts of the world was purchased for the purpose of
filling important gaps. The section of birds’ eggs acquired several
noteworthy additions. One of these, obtained through Prof. Axel
Johan Einar Linnberg, of Stockholm, consisted of a set of the eggs
of Ross’s gull (2hodostethia rosea), from breeding grounds recently
discovered by Mr. S. A. Buturlin, of Russia, near the Kolyma Delta
in northeastern Siberia. Another comprised five eggs and a nest of
Kirtland’s warbler (Dendroica hirtland?), received in exchange from
Mr. E. Arnold, of Battle Creek, Michigan. While this rare species
has been known since 1852, its breeding grounds, a limited area in
northern Michigan, were located only a year or two ago. Two eggs
of the rare eared trogon (Luptilotis neowenus) were obtained from
Mexico, and some 800 eggs and 18 nests of American and Chinese
species were contributed by the Rev. E. B. and Mr. Harry R.
Caldwell.

For the division of reptiles and batrachians a valuable collection
made by Dr. Franz Werner, comprising about 160 species and sub-
species, chiefly from Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean coun-
tries, was acquired by purchase. Princeton University presented 83
specimens of reptiles from Patagonia, composing the first set of
duplicates from the collection made by the late Dr. J. B. Hatcher and
studied by Doctor Stejneger. Prof. C. TH. Eigenmann donated 60
specimens from Cuba, and Mr. Julius Hurter 18 specimens, chiefly
from Missouri. Among the latter were 3 specimens of the sala-
mander, Spelerpes stejnegeri, not previously represented in the
Museum, and several specimens of the rare cave salamander, Z'yphlo-
triton speleus. Many specimens were collected by members of the
Museum staff in Virginia, in the vicinity of Wilmington, North Caro-
lina, and in Colombia, and some valuable material was contributed
by the National Museum of Costa Rica.

About 25,000 specimens of fishes were received during the year.
Next to the transfers from the Bureau of Fisheries, the most impor-
tant accessions consisted of a set of Philippine fishes, including sev-
eral new species, presented through the Bureau of Fisheries by the
Philippine Commission to the St. Louis Exposition ; and an excellent

28 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

collection of about 400 Australian fishes, comprising 119 species,
obtained in exchange from the Australian Department of Fisheries.

The collection of mollusks was increased by over 19,000 specimens.
The dredgings of the Albatross in the northwestern Pacific and adja-
cent waters constituted the principal source of supply, rich in,new
material, the Okhotsk Sea especially furnishing many interesting
novelties from a region where but little collecting had previously
been done. The next most conspicuous accession was an exchange
from the Senckenbergische Naturforschende Gesellschaft, Frankfurt
am Main, Germany, comprising some 600 species and many cotypes
of species described by the late Herr Mollendorf from the Philippines
and eastern Asia, all named and labeled with localities, forming a
most desirable addition from a region hitherto but poorly represented
inthe Museum. Useful also in the same connection was the contribu-
tion of Dr. E. A. Mearns, who sent a large collection of miscellaneous
shells from the Philippines containing many specimens of interest.
Next should be mentioned the results of the explorations in the vicin-
ity of Wilmington, North Carolina, by Dr. Paul Bartsch, of the
Museum statl, who secured a very large number of specimens of land
and fresh-water mollusks, comprising several novelties and a good
series of the rare Planorbis magnificus, which was the special object
of the trip.

The Museum is indebted to the energy and generosity of Prof.
HT. Pittier, of the Department of Agriculture, who, during his
botanical researches in tropical America, found time to gather several
lots of exceptionally interesting land shells, containing a number of
species new to the collections. Dr. Edward Palmer, of the same
Department, and under similar conditions, increased the series of
Mexican species by acceptable additions. The Museum is also under
obligations to its old correspondent, the Rev. W. A. Stanton, S. J.,
for valuable material from British Honduras. :

The division of insects received over 44,000 specimens, comprised
in 396 accessions, some of the more important of which were as
follows: Prof. P. R. Uhler, of Baltimore, presented 20,000. speci-
mens of Tlemiptera, comprising the larger part of the celebrated
collection which he has been assembling for many years. Mr. Wil-
Ham Schaus donated 8,000 specimens of Lepidoptera, constituting
the result of his collecting in Mexico and Central America during
the past vear, and in continuation of his large gift of a year ago.
The Department of Agriculture transmitted about 5,000 specimens of
different groups obtained during field work by members of the
Bureau of Entomology. Through the same source, Mr. R. Muller,
of the City of Mexico, presented over 2,000 Lepidoptera from Mexico,
of which the species were determined and the names supplied to
him. Other donations worthy of mention were 500 Ccleoptera from

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 29

Santiago de Las Vegas, Cuba, contributed by Mr. Carl F. Baker;
375 Hemiptera and other insects from Mr. H. G. Barber; 850 bees
from Mr. E. 8S. G. Titus; 260 Hemiptera from Mr. G. Beyer, and
240 Cuban Lepidoptera from Mr. Mel 'T. Cook.

Besides the large amount of material from the Bureau of Fish-
eries, already referred to, the division of marine invertebrates re-
ceived several important small accessions, of which the following
were the most noteworthy: From Dr. R. von Lendenfeld, Prague,
Austria, 238 microscopic shdes of sponge sections and spicules, pre-
pared largely from type specimens from the German and other ceep-
sea expeditions, and from Australia, Zanzibar, and the Adriatic, the
basis of eighteen published reports; specimens of madreporarian
corals collected by Dr. J. EK. Duerden at the Hawaiian Islands and
presented by the Carnegie Institution, and from French Somaliland,
received in exchange from the Museum of Natural History, Paris,
France. Thirty-five species of Malayan crustacea, reported on by
Dr. J. G. de Man, were contributed by the Natural History Museum,
of Lubeck, Germany. /

The number of specimens added to the helminthological collection
was 514, of which the greater number were obtained by transfer from
the Bureau of Animal Industry, Department of Agriculture, and
many from the United States Public Health and Marine-Hospital
Service.

In addition to the specimens transmitted by the Department of
Agriculture, the division of plants acquired many important collec-
tions. Through exchange with the Jardin Botanique de Etat at
Brussels there was received a series of 900 plants collected in Mexico
by HT. Galeotti many years ago. It is rich in types and will prove
of great value in connection with the studies of the Mexican flora
now in progress. About 1,300 Mexican plants were collected for the
Museum by the associate curator, Dr. J. N. Rose, and 1,648 specimens
were purchased. A number of gifts of Central American plants,
comprising in all 1,405 specimens, were made by Prof. H. Pittier.
About 3,200 plants were collected in eastern Cuba by the assistant
curator, Mr. W. R. Maxon, and other West Indian plants to the
number of about 3,100 were received from the New York Botanical
Garden. By exchange with the Bureau of Science, Manila, the
Museum acquired 5,571 Philippine plants, and 175 tropical specimens
were obtained in the same manner from the Copenhagen Botanical
Museum. Mr. H. D. House added 700 specimens from South Caro-
lina to his previous donations; Mr. E. S. Steele gave the Museum
about 5,000 specimens collected by him in the District of Columbia
and vicinity, and 1,332 California plants were purchased. Mrs. J. M.
Milligan, of Jacksonville, Illinois, presented her private herbarium
of about 2,200 specimens, and the collection of the late Prof. T. A.

30 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

Wilhams, comprising about 4,400 specimens, was purchased. Two
small collections of European plants were obtained through exchange
with the Botanical Garden at Brussels and the Natural History
Museum at Freiburg, Switzerland.

Geology.—The more important accessions in the division of sys-
tematic and applied geology were as follows: A quantity of iron me-
teorites, “shale balls,” altered sandstone, ete. from Coon Butte,
Arizona, deposited by Mr. D. M. Barrington, of Philadelphia; a
similar collection from the same region, obtained by the head curator
of geology during his investigations in May, 1907, under a grant
from the Smithsonian Institution; 621 specimens of rocks and ores,
secured during investigations by the U. S. Geological Survey, from
Encampment and the Big Horn Mountains in Wyoming, the Pearl
district and the Silverton and Ouray quadrangles in Colorado, the
Snoqualmie quadrangle in Washington, and the Penobscot Bay
quadrangle in Maine, and six fine examples of fractured and crushed
bowlders from the Deer Creek coal fields of Arizona; a fine large
mass of scheelite from Atolia, San Bernardino County, California,
donated by the De Golia & Atkins Company; a representative series
of copper and nickel ores, from Copper Cliff Mines, Ontario,
presented by the Canadian Copper Company; a selected series of
Bohemian igneous rocks, in exchange, from Dr. J. E. Hibseh; and a
number of scarred pebbles from the ground moraine of China, col-
lected by Mr. Bailey Willis and deposited by the Carnegie Institution.

The division of mineralogy received a small collection of specimens
of native gold from mines in the Grass Valley district of California,
donated by the President of the United States; several minerals new
to the collection or representing new localities, and meteorites from
the following places: Santa Rosa, Colombia: Elm Creek, Kansas;
tich Mountain, North Carolina, through exchange with the State
Museum, Raleigh; Uberaba, Brazil, through exchange with the K. K,
Naturhistorisches Hofmuseum, Vienna; La Becasse, France, through
exchange with the Museum of Natural History, Paris; and Selma,
Alabama, presented by the American Museum of Natural History,
New York.

The division of stratigraphic paleontology was the recipient of the
most extensive and valuable accessions of any of the branches of this
department. The U.S. Geological Survey transferred about 45,000
specimens of fossil invertebrates from the pre-Cambrian, Cambrian,
and Ordovician horizons of the United States, composing the collec-
tion which has for some years past been the subject of special study
by Dr. Charles D. Walcott. The Hon. Frank Springer, who pur-
chased during the year the so-called Pate collection of fossil inver-
tebrates, after reserving the crinoids in which he is personally inter-
ested, presented the remainder, comprising about 50,000 specimens,

Ty

mainly from the Paleozoic rocks of the Mississippi Valley, to the
National Museum. This gift is of exceptional value in that it repre-
sents the fauna of horizons and localities in which the Museum has
been deficient. Mr. Springer also donated about 500 specimens of
fossil invertebrates from the Devonian of Callaway County, Missouri,
and two fine exhibition specimens, one a type of Archimedes wortheni.
Other noteworthy additions of fossil invertebrates were the Nettel-
roth collection, containing practically all of the many types figured in
Nettelroth’s “ Kentucky Fossil Shells,’ many of the specimens illus-
trated by Davis in his “ Kentucky Fossil Corals,” and an especially
fine representation of the Silurian and Devonian faunas of Indiana
and Kentucky; a collection of 120 Cretaceous fossils from San Juan
Roya, Mexico, the gift of Prof. Charles Schuchert, of Yale Univer-
sity; and a series of plastotypes of all the types of Cambrian Ostra-
coda described by Dr. George F. Matthew, the specimens having been
lent to the National Museum for the purpose by Prof. W. A. Parks,
of the University of Toronto.

Among the additions to the section of fossil vertebrates were casts
of four specimens, including three skulls and an entire skeleton, of
Pareiasaurus baini from the Karoo beds of South Africa, received in
exchange from the British Museum; teeth and other skeletal remains
from the Oligocene of Germany; and a life size restoration in place
of a Pteranodon, made by Dr. George F. Eaton, and received from
the Yale University Museum.

Twenty-two specimens of fossil plants from the Fort Union Terti-
ary of North Dakota, presented by Dr. F. H. Knowlton, of the U.S.
Geological Survey, and a large quantity of fossil wood from the Fossil
Forest of Arizona, collected by the head curator, were among the
additions to the section of paleobotany.

GENERAL WORK ON THE COLLECTIONS.

The revision of the osteological collections in physical anthropology,
a considerable part of which had been gathered before the recent
establishment of the division, was completed during the year. This
work involved the cleaning, sorting, numbering, and cataloguing of
many specimens, and the systematic arrangement of all in standard
drawers, the order followed being geographical by tribes. The stor-
age quarters were remodeled and so extended as to render accessible
every specimen in the collection, which comprises parts of about
8,000 skeletons. The card or reference catalogue was completed for
all of the collections of the division. A number of busts of Indians
were made, the opportunity for this having been furnished by visiting
delegations.

In the division of ethnology the storage space was also somewhat
increased, permitting the classified arrangement of many additional

32 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

specimens belonging to the reserve series. Much of the time of the
preparators was directed, as in all previous years, toward the preserva-
tion of objects subject to injury by insects and other agencies, such as
dust, dryness, moisture, and chemical decomposition. Pottery is more
or less subject to deterioration by some of these causes, showing in
the exfoliation of the ware, This has been especially noticeable in the
ancient Pueblo pottery, which was treated during the year with an
impervious dressing that promises to be effective.

A card catalogue was made of the Etruscan bronzes and potteries,
Samian and Aretine ware, Egyptian and Trojan antiquities, pre-
paratory to their transfer from the division of prehistoric archeology
to that of historic archeology.

In the department of biology, as elsewhere, there is great difficulty
in safeguarding the reserve collections, because of the very iade-
quate facilities for storage, and this lack is especially felt im connec-
tion with the mammals, in view of the relatively large size of many
of the specimens. The collection of mammals is in fairly good
condition so far as it is kept in the Museum building, but the large
number of specimens stored in outside temporary quarters are diffi-
cult of access and ean not, therefore, be properly looked after. The
collection of skins of North American squirrels was transferred dur-
ing the year to new insect-proof cases, and the bat skins were rear-
ranged on the basis of the classification recently elaborated by Mr.
Gerrit S. Miller, jr. Similar work with reference to the insectivores
and the field mice of the genus Peromyseus, of which there is a very
large series, was begun. The skulls of the three groups mentioned
were entirely rearranged, and the cases and drawers containing them
were fully labeled. Metal cases were provided for the skins of seals
and sea lions, which had previously been unprotected. About 100
large mammal skins were made up and 65 were tanned. The num-
ber of mammal skulls cleaned was approximately 3,000, of which
about two-thirds were of medium to large size.

A beginning was made in relabeling the reserve collection of
birds, one of the largest and most valuable in the world, originating
in the field work of Prof. Spencer F. Baird before he became Assist-
ant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in 1850. The im-
portance of this work has repeatedly been pointed out by the curator
of the division. but with the present force its completion will require
a considerable length of time. A number of valuable skins were
repaired by the taxidermists, and all of the specimens received dur-
ing the year were put away in their proper places, except those sent
from the Philippine Islands by Doctor Mearns, which await his
return -for study and cataloguing. Notwithstanding the crowded
condition of the bird collection, its storage in three separate quarters,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 33

and the constant use made of it by many persons, the material re-
mains in good condition.

In the several divisions of reptiles, fishes, mollusks, and other
aquatic invertebrates, the alcoholic specimens, which fill many thou-
sands of cans, jars, and vials, and require unremitting oversight to
insure their preservation, have received the proper amount of atten-
tion. Work on the systematic arrangement of the reserve series of
fishes has been continued, and several thousand specimens have been
assigned their appropriate places on the shelves. Many duplicates
were separated out and numerous miscellaneous lots of specimens
were identified. Nearly 19,000 specimens were catalogued, and a
considerable amount of time was spent on the card catalogue of type
specimens, of which the Museum has a very noteworthy series.

The collections of insects have been maintained in good condition,
although, outside of the Lepidoptera and Orthoptera, they are mainly
contained in drawers of a temporary and insecure character. New
drawers of hardwood with hermetically closing covers, fitting in
steel racks, are being supplied as rapidly as the funds permit, and a
large number have already been installed. Under the present con-
ditions, however, the work of classifying and arranging the immense
collections in this division must consume many years, and relatively
little progress could be made except for the cooperation of the
Bureau of Entomology of the Department of Agriculture.

In the division of mollusks much was accomplished in the direc-
tion of labeling, registering, and adding to the reserve series. This
applies as well to the Jeffreys collection, obtained some vears ago, of
which the identification of all specimens is being verified, and the
final installation is now about two-thirds completed. A system of
card catalogues has been started for convenience in referring to col-
lections and in providing information as to. the representation of
species from especially interesting geographical areas. The study
series is completely labeled and readily accessible by means of index
eards. The identified specimens which have accumulated in the
division of marine invertebrates during recent years, and also the
general collections of actinians, hydroids, and ascidians were entirely
catalogued. The large catalogue cards on which the starfishes and
ophiurans were originally recorded were discarded for the smaller
library size, to which the data were transferred.

Under an arrangement made by Professor Baird, when United
States Commissioner of Fisheries, Prof. A. E. Verrill, of Yale Uni-
versity, was placed in charge of the working up of the collections of
marine invertebrates secured during the seacoast investigations of
the Fish Commission from 1871 to 1887. In heu of a regular salary
Professor Verrill was to receive the first set of duplicates, while the

first or reserve series of specimens and the remainder of the duph-
cates were to come to the National Museum. <A partial separation
under this agreement was made several years ago, but the final ad-
justment of the matter, in which the great bulk of the collections is
concerned, was left to be taken up during the past year. The work
began in April, 1907, and will occupy at least six months. The two
assistant curators of the division of marine invertebrates have been
detailed to cooperate with Professor Verrill in carrying out this im-
portant undertaking, which will result in the transfer to the Museum
of many thousands of valuable specimens, including a great number
of types, and of species not hitherto represented in the collections.

In the division of plants the rearrangement of the herbarium on
the system of Engler and Prantl, which has been mentioned in pre-
vious reports, was nearly completed. Specimens to the number of
28,378 were incorporated in the permanent series, making the total
number of sheets so disposed of since the transfer of the collection to
the Museum 319,982. The number of specimens mounted during the
year was 9,617. One hundred and sixty-eight pigeonholes were added
to the herbarium stacks, bringing the total to 10,362. The matter of
adopting metal cases received further consideration, and a trial case
has been in use during a part of the year.

All the skulls and skeletons of birds in the division of comparative
anatomy contained in the Museum building were rearranged in ac-
cordance with Sharpe’s classification. A catalogue was made of all
the osteological material stored in the west shed on Ninth street, with
the exception of the birds preserved in alcohol, from which skeletons
are to be prepared at a future time. Apart from a few skeletons
and some very large pieces, all the miscellaneous mammalian skele-
tons were brought into the Museum building, in order that such as
were of value might be put in their proper places.

The chief taxidermist remounted the group of Polar bears pre-
sented by Mrs. E. M. Ziegler, the position of the bears being changed,
a seal introduced, and new groundwork constructed. A Kashmir stag
was also renovated and 41 small mammals were mounted. The latter
represent a distinct advance in a branch of taxidermy, which has
always been considered very difficult, special care being taken to
faithfully represent the physiognomy and characteristic attitudes of
these little animals. The results are very satisfactory, especially in
those cases in which it was possible to use fresh skins. The species
were chiefly North and South American and European. About 90
other specimens and groups were repaired or prepared for the reserve
series. The taxidermist assigned directly to the division of mammals,
besides much miscellaneous work, made up 96 skins for the study
series and skinned 19 other mammals and 12 reptiles. The bird
taxidermist was chiefly engaged in remounting valuable large Old

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 35

World birds belonging to the exhibition series and cleaning and
repainting the bills and feet of others.

The osteological preparator and his assistant were mainly occu-
pied in roughing out skeletons from fresh specimens received from
the National Zoological Park and elsewhere, in preparing a series of
orang skeletons received from Dr. W. L. Abbott, and in cleaning
mammal skulls. Many of the last mentioned were large, and the
fresh specimens from the Zoological Park included such forms as the
camel, zebu, sea wolf, thar, markhor, and rhea.

The chief modeler and general preparator was engaged princi-
pally in overhauling and completing the insect exhibit, in cleaning
corals, and in preparing plaster models of various subjects. An im-
portant work was the restoration of the jaws of two fossil porpoises,
one of which was a type specimen.

In the department of geology the systematizing of the petro-
graphic material received from the U.S. Geological Survey, and the
separation and labeling of the duplicates has advanced rapidly. This
collection is now in better condition than ever before. The entire
exhibition series of minerals and gems was overhauled and cleaned.

The arrangement of the Pate and Ulrich collections of fossil
invertebrates, two of the largest accessions of the year, required a
large amount of attention, a total of 12,368 specimens having been
numbered and registered.

Aside from the preparation of specimens, the work in the section
of vertebrate paleontology consisted largely in designating the types,
cotypes, and illustrated specimens, completing the records, preparing
ard catalogues, and revising the manuscript and correcting the
proofs of the Type Catalogue Bulletin. For the first time in the
history of the department it is possible to state with comparative
certainty the nature and whereabouts of the type material in this
section. The cohtents of 123 boxes, received from Dr. J. B. Hatcher
and Mr. C. H. Sternberg, upward of twenty years ago, have been
‘cleaned and repaired, and are now ready for the preparation of
mounted specimens or for use as duplicates. This collection con-
sists largely of the remains of the fossil rhinoceros, 7e/eoceras fos-
siger, and comprises 10,500 bones in various states of preservation.
With this material was discovered a nearly complete skeleton of a
new species of small horned rodent. Seventy-eight storage trays of
TVitanotherium material were cleaned and sorted, and satisfactory
progress was made in working up the Camptosaurus remains, among
which were discovered a fairly complete skeleton of C. dispar, and
sufficient portions of the type specimen of C. nanus to make a full
restoration of this form.

The preparator in the division of geology has been occupied, as
heretofore, in cutting sections and making casts, and in the general

36 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

work of preparing specimens for exhibition. ‘The number of cata-
logue cards prepared was 7,140, of reference cards 1,860, and of
labels 1,745. Numbers in india ink or oil colors were placed on
23,586 specimens, this being the only certain method of securing
their identity. A large number of duplicate specimens were made
up into labeled sets for sending to educational establishments.

In the preparation of the Type Catalogue, already referred to,
the collections have been greatly benefited, since it resulted in the
segregation and appropriate labeling of the several thousand type
specimens in the department, which have thereby been made readily
accessible. This work has oceupied the attention of the several
experts in the department during several years, and the. time they
have put upon it has been more than justified.

EXHIBITION COLLECTIONS.

While the subject of physical anthropology, owing to lack of space,
has not been illustrated in the public halls except by a number of
Indian busts in the northwest range, several interesting collections
have been made accessible in the laboratory of the division, for the
benefit of intelligent visitors, as follows: A series of skulls from Peru
and Bolivia, showing pre-Columbian trephining; several sets of fossil
human bones, skulls from Rock Bluff, PHlinois, Lansing, Kansas,
ete., forming a series of supposed geological antiquity ; casts of quater-
nary human skulls and other bones from Europe and of the calvarium
of the Pithecanthropus, with a group of modern Indian skulls show-
ing low forms of development; a series of artificially deformed
skulls illustrating the three principal tvpes of deformation: painted,
graven, and otherwise prepared skulls from North America, New
Guinea, and Indonesia; a racial collection of pelvises; the skeleton
of an Indian giant and one of an Indian pigmy; a series of types of
normal variation in human bones; a series of human and animal
brains, ete.

In ethnology one new group, consisting of five figures of Rouma-
hian peasants in costume, was prepared and installed, and a figure of
an Aino woman was modeled and added to the Aino case. The pot-
tery in the wall cases of the Pueblo court was rearranged.

The most important additions to the exhibition in the hall of pre-
historic archeology consisted of several hundred flint and bone imple-
ments and many fossil bones, including fragments of the jawbones
and teeth of the mastodon, mammoth, bison, and horse, from a sulphur
spring at Afton, Indian Territory, which had been used as a shrine
by Indians: the loan collection of Mr. A. H. Blackiston from Casas
Grandes Valley, Mexico; and a number of series of cache implements
from several localities, :

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 37

The collection of casts of classic sculpture, formerly in the graphic
arts court, was transferred to the hall now occupied by the National
Gallery of Art.

Much progress was made in improving the installation and labeling
in the division of technology. The superb collection of arms deposited
by the United States Cartridge Company was moved to the east hall
adjoining the general exhibit of firearms, where it properly belongs.
The Lilienthal flying machine was repaired and hung from the roof in
the east hall, and the Hargrave machine is being prepared for exhibi-
tion in the same place. A large number of objects were sent from this
division to the Jamestown Exposition, causing many temporary gaps
in the exhibition halls.

A few additions were made to the exhibition series in ceramics, the
graphic arts, musical instruments, and medicine, and more important
ones to the historical collection.

Under existing conditions an extension of the biological exhibits
is scarcely practicable except in the case of small specimens, and the
efforts of the staff have been mainly directed toward keeping the
collections from deterioration and making such improvements as are
possible. The largest pieces added to the mammal series this year
were a grizzly bear and a skeleton of the beaked whale, J/esoplodon
grayt. A very large skeleton of another species of beaked whale,
Berardius bairdii, was laid out preparatory to mounting. About 40
small mammals, supplying deficiencies in the Nearctic, Neotropic, and
Palearctic series, were also installed. The new style of label holder
mentioned in last year’s report was put into use in connection with
the exhibit of North American birds. The taxidermists have re-
mounted many of the valuable Old World birds and have cleaned
others, besides renovating the older groups of both mammals and
birds. A large amount of relabeling was done.

About 3,000 specimens were added to the insect exhibit, and also
seven groups in Riker mounts, illustrating the life histories of insects.
It was found necessary to shut off another small section of the hall
containing the reptiles and fishes for the accommodation of additions
to the reserve collection of imsects. This action involved the rear-
rangement of all the exhibition cases in the hall.

The display series in systematic and applied geology was increased
by 175 specimens and that of minerals by 91 specimens. The most
conspicuous additions to the exhibit of vertebrate paleontology con-
sisted of a cast of Paredasaurus baini, a restoration of Pteranodon,
and two remounts of the New Zealand Moa.

RESEARCHES.

In the division of physical anthropology Doctor Hrdlicka, assist-
ant curator, completed comparative studies on orang skulls from
Western Borneo, on the cranial fosse in man and the higher primates,
and on the osteological specimens in the collection having relation to
the antiquity of man in America. He also continued his investiga-
tions on the racial variations of the humerus, the brain weight in
animals, and the action of preservatives on the brain. Studies on the
orang skeleton and on the cramial capacity of Indians were taken up.
In the course of and for the benefit of his researches, Doctor H1rd-
li¢éka visited the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York;
Laval University, Quebec; Anastasia Island, on the east coast of
Florida, and the States of Nebraska and Iowa.

Professor Mason, head curator, and Doctor Hough, assistant cu-
rator of ethnology, were mainly occupied im studying the aborigi-
nal culture of the Malays and other peoples of the East Indies, as
exemplified in the large collections made and presented by Dr. W. L.
Abbott. Doctor Hough continued his work on the history of heating
and itumination and on the Pueblo collections, and completed two
papers, one on the agave as a culture plant, the other on the palm and
agave as nuture plants. An account of the Museum-Gates expedition
of 1905 has been begun. A large series of Eskimo ivory needlecases
was lent to Dr. Frank Boas, of Columbia University, for use in a
special investigation on the development of ornament and in his gen-
eral work on the Jesup North Pacific Expedition.

Mr. Holmes, curator of prehistoric archeology, made extensive use
of the collections of that division in the preparation of numerous
descriptive articles for the Handbook of American Indians, the first
volume of which was issued by the Bureau of American Ethnology
about the close of the fiscal vear. In the course of this work he also
made more detailed studies for embodiment in a monographic paper
on stone implements.

The assistant curator of historic religions, Doctor Casanowicz, has
in course of preparation a description of the exhibition collection of
Jewish religious rites and ceremonials, which is probably the finest
in the country. |

Many persons visited the Museum for the purpose of examining
specimens in ethnology and archeology, and a few lots of specimens
were also lent to assist in the conduct of investigations elsewhere.

Some of the more important biological researches completed dur-
ing the year are best indicated by the titles of the resulting publica-
tions, such as the fourth part of the work on the Birds of North and

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 39

Middle America, by Mr. Ridgway; the Mammals of the Mexican
Boundary, by Doctor Mearns; the Families and Genera of Bats, by
Mr. Miller; the Herpetology of Japan, by Doctor Stejneger; and the
Madreporarian Corals of the Hawaiian Islands and Laysan, by Doc-
tor Vaughan.

Doctor Lyon, assistant curator of mammals, completed or had in
preparation papers on Doctor Abbott’s recent collections of mam-
mals from western Borneo and the coast and islands of northeastern
Sumatra, on Burchell’s zebra, and on mammals from Mount Rainier,
Washington, and Kan-su Province, China. The catalogue of type
specimens of mammals, mentioned in previous reports, was made
ready for printing. A number of specimens of mammals were sent
to naturalists connected with the British Museum for study and
comparison, and a few to American naturalists. As in previous
years, the members of the Biological Survey made considerable use
of the collections.

The head curator of biology, Doctor True, examined the types of
fossil cetaceans in the collections of Johns Hopkins University, the
Woman’s College of Baltimore, the Maryland Geological Survey, and
the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, preliminary to the
study of the related material in the National Museum, and to a re-
vision of the North American genera and species. He prepared an
account of the type specimen of Agorophius pygmwus, to accompany
an unpublished plate which had been engraved for the Smithsonian
Institution some fifty years ago, and a description of the type of
Anoplonassa forcipata, of which a cast has been presented by the
Museum of Comparative Zoology. He also continued work on the
National Museum collection of recent species of beaked whales, giv-
ing special attention to the genera Jfesoplodon and Berardius,

Mr. Ridgway, curator of birds, began the writing of Part V of his
work on the Birds of North and Middle America, his investigations
in that connection relating especially to the humming birds. He was
assisted in the measuring of specimens and the preparation of refer-
ences for the synonymical tables by Mr. Riley, aid. Doctor Rich-
mond, assistant curator of birds, added about 3,500 cards to the card
catalogue of genera and species of birds, on which he has been en-
gaged for some years. He also began upon an ornithological biblio-
graphy supplementary to that of the Zurich Concilium. Myr. H. C.
Oberholser, of the Biological Survey, continued his studies on the
collections of birds from Sumatra, Borneo, and the China Sea, con-
tributed by Dr. W. L. Abbott. Mr. Austin H. Clark, of the Bureau
of Fisheries, spent some time during the winter in working up the
birds collected by the Fisheries steamer Albatross during the expe-

40 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

dition of 1906 in the Northwest Pacific Ocean. He also identified
various species in the Museum collections from Japan, Korea, and
elsewhere, and described a number of new species. The members of
the American Ornithologists Union and its committee on nomencla-
ture consulted the collections, as did the naturalists of the Biological
Survey.

Doctor Stejneger, curator of reptiles, was largely occupied in com-
pleting his Herpetology of Japan, to which reference has already
been made. He continued work on the Philippine and West Indian
reptilian faunas, and took up the study of the Costa Rican. He also
began on a revision of the North American salamanders, for which
special field work was undertaken, and published a paper on the
origin of the Atlantic fauna and flora of Norway, based upon ma-
terial in the Museum.

Doctor Evermann, curator of fishes, in conjunction with Mr. Alvin
Seale and Mr. W. C. Kendall, studied and reported on a collection
of fishes from Argentina and on two collections of Philippine fishes,
one made by Dr. KE. A. Mearns, the other received from the Philip-
pine government. Doctor Evermann, with the help of Mr. E. L.
Goldsborough, also did considerable work on the collections of fishes
from the coasts of Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon,
and California. Mr. Bean, assistant curator of fishes, and Mr. Seale
prepared a paper relating to Philippine fishes. Many specimens of
fishes, mainly from different parts of the Pacific Ocean, were sent to
Stanford University for study by Dr. David S. Jordon and Dr. C. H.
Gilbert; and several rays and a specimen of Avatheostoma were lent
to Dr. Ulric Dahlgren, of Princeton University, for examination.

Doctor Dyar, acting assistant curator of insects, continued the
preparation of a monograph on the mosquitoes, while the several
custodians who are also connected with the Bureau of Entomology,
and others from that Bureau, pursued investigations along the lines
of their specialities. About 2,000 specimens of insects were lent to
entomologists, including materials supplied to Prof. E. D. Ball and
Dr. P. P. Calvert, for use in working up certain groups for the
* Biologia Centrali-Americana.” Doctor Calvert now has all of
the Central American Odonata belonging to the Museum, and Mr.
W. D. Pierce all of the Coleoptera of the order Strepsiptera.

Doctor Dall, curator, and Doctor Bartsch, assistant curator of
mollusks, completed so much of their monograph of Pacific Coast
Pyramidellidx as relates to the Oregonian fauna, and facilities for
the examination and study of certain groups of mollusks were fur-
nished to several naturalists.

Work on the hand book of American crabs, by Miss Rathbun,
assistant curator of marine invertebrates, mentioned in the last

report, was continued, and some drawings and photographs to be
used as illustrations were prepared. Miss Rathbun also completed
a paper on the brachyuran crustaceans obtained during the recent
Albatross cruise in the Northwestern Pacific, and began the study
of an important collection of crabs from the Gulf of Siam, trans-
mitted by the Natural History Museum at Copenhagen, Denmark.
Arrangements were made to publish a valuable manuscript prepared
some forty years ago by the late Dr. William Stimpson on the
Brachyuran and anomuran crustaceans obtained mainly on the North
Pacific exploring expedition of 1853 to 1858. It will be issued in
the Miscellaneous Collections of the Smithsonian Institution. Dr.
Harriet Richardson, collaborator, worked up and reported on the
isopod crustaceans collected during recent cruises of the Fisheries
steamer Albatross in the North and South Pacifie Ocean. My.
Austin H. Clark, naturalist of the steamer Albatross during the
North Pacific expedition of 1906, spent several months in the study
of the crinoids secured on that cruise, as well as the specimens in the
general collection of the Museum, and prepared descriptions of a
number of new species for publication.

A considerable number of specimens of the genus /Zeliaster of star-
fishes from the Galapagos Islands were lent to Dr. Hubert L. Clark,
of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, for use in a revision of the
genus. The collection of pedunculate cirripeds was sent to Dr. H. A.
Pilsbry, of the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, who has kindly
offered to report on this group as represented in the National Museum.
Arrangements were made with Mr. J. A. Cushman, of the Boston
Society of Natural History, to work up the foraminifera from the
deep-sea dredgings and soundings of the Fisheries steamer Albatross
in the Pacific Ocean, and a considerable amount of material has al-
ready been sent to him.

In the division of plants Doctor Rose, associate curator, continued
his studies of Mexican plants and of the cacti, on which he has been
engaged for some years. Mr. Maxon, assistant curator, made good
progress in his work on the American ferns, giving special attention to
those of Cuba and Jamaica, and Mr. Painter, aid, continued his in-
vestigations of water lilies. Over a thousand plants were lent for
study to both American and European botanists.

In the division of geology and mineralogy nearly all of the time
available for research work was devoted to the study of meteorites
and associated phenomena. Six papers on this subject by the head
curator, Doctor Merrill, three being in collaboration with Mr. Tassin,
assistant curator of mineralogy, were prepared and, with one excep-
tion, were printed during the year. At the close of the year Doctor
Merrill was engaged in an exhaustive study of the problems presented

492 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. .

by the Coon Butte crater, Arizona, which he visited in May. Mr.
Tassin also made a large number of chemical analyses and established
the identity of 128 minerals belonging to the old collection.

Doctor Bassler, assistant curator of stratigraphic paleontology,
prepared papers on the Phocene Bryozoa of California and the De-
vonian Bryozoa of Wisconsin, and, in conjunction with Mr. E. O.
Ulrich, had nearly completed a monograph on the American Ostra-
coda. At the close of the year he was at work on a collection of Rus-
sian Ordovician Bryozoa received from Dr. A. von Michwitz, and, in
cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey, was engaged in a study
of certain stratigraphic problems in the Southern Appalachians and
the Mississippi Valley. Mr. Gidley continued his investigations on
Mesozoic fossil mammals, completing his studies on the fossil horse,
as represented in the National Museum and the American Museum
of Natural History, and on a new fossil rodent, I/ylogaulidw. My.
Gilmore has prepared and studied the type specimen of J/orosaurus
agilis, and has begun to work up the material in the Marsh collection
representing Camptosaurus, with the view of revising and giving a
detailed description of the genus. In paleobotany no researches were
earried on directly by the Museum, although work was constantly in
progress at the Museum by Mr. David White and Dr. F. H. Knowl-
ton, members of the staff of the U.S. Geological Survey.

Twenty important lots of material from the several divisions of
the department of geology were lent to individuals.and establishments
elsewhere to aid in investigations, and a number of specialists were
given facilities at the Museum to conduct researches in furtherance
of their own studies. Among the latter the following may be men-
tioned: Dr. George Mikhailowski, Director of the University Mu-
seum, Dorpat, Russia; Dr. Constantine Pfaffius, attaché to the gov-
ernor-general of the Amur Territories; Miss Mary W. Porter, of
Oxford, England; the Hon. Frank Springer, of New Mexico; Prof.
R. T. Jackson, of Harvard University; Prof. Aug. F. Foerste, of
Dayton, Ohio; Mr. Barnum Brown, Mr. A. Hussakoff, and Dr. O. P.
Hay, of the American Museum of Natural History, and Prof. KE. W.
Berry, of the Maryland Geological Survey.

EXPLORATIONS.

No field work was carried on by members of the staff of the depart-
ment of anthropology, but important accessions were obtained from
explorations by the Bureau of American Ethnology and from the
excavations made by Dr. J. W. Fewkes at the Casa Grande ruin in
Arizona, under the direction of the Smithsonian Institution. Of
private explorations by which the department was benefited, those by

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 43

Dr. E. A. Mearns, U. S. Army, in the Philippine Islands are espe-
cially noteworthy.

Although the amount of field collecting on behalf of the depart-
ment of biology was inconsiderable, yet important contributions in
several lines were secured by this means. The head curator, Dr.
F. W. True, as the result of visits made to Chesapeake Beach, Mary-
land, in November, 1906, and March, 1907, in search of the remains
of fossil cetaceans, obtained a nearly complete skull of a fossil por-
poise, apparently representing a genus of Evrinodelphida, a family
new to North America, and the humerus and sacrum of a fossil seal,
probably the recently described Leptophoca lenis.

Dr. Leonhard Stejneger spent about two months of the summer
of 1906 in making observations on living salamanders in the vicinity
of Stribling Springs, Augusta County, Virginia, preparatory to a
revision of the group. This region was selected on account of its
geographical position and the number of its springs and = small
streams, and although the season proved unfavorable, a considerable
number of both adults and larve were obtained. Mr. W. L. Hahn
made a zoological reconnaissance in the Kankakee basin of north-
western Indiana and Mr. Barton A. Bean a collecting trip to the
Florida Keys, the latter having been rendered possible through the
kindness of Mr. W. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, in permitting the use
of his private yacht for that purpose. Dr. Paul Bartsch, in the
autumn of 1906, visited the neighborhood of Wilmington, North
Carolina, where he obtained fine series of specimens of the rare large
land shell, Planorbis magnificus and of other species, including
some little-known and interesting forms. His observations indicate
that the region is an important distribution center, which would re-
pay more extensive and detailed inquiries. Dr. Harrison G. Dyar
and Mr. A. N. Caudell were in California at the beginning of the
year, engaged in an investigation of mosquitoes, the results of which
were published in the Proceedings of the Museum. Subsequently
Doctor Dyar conducted additional field work relating to the same
subject.

Dr. J. N. Rose, associate curator of plants, continued his botanical
explorations in Mexico during the summer of 1906, returning with
over 1,000 herbarium specimens and about 200 living plants, the lat-
ter being deposited in one of the greenhouses of the Department of
Agriculture, as the Museum has no facilities for the care of such
material. Mr. W. R. Maxon, assistant curator of plants, spent about
two months in the spring of 1907 in botanical investigations at the
eastern end of Cuba, with headquarters at Santiago de Cuba. Mr.
Maxon worked mainly in the valley of the Rio Bayamita, on the

44 REPORT OF NATIONAT, MUSEUM, 1907.

south slope of the Sierra Maestra, to a height of 3,500 feet; at Dai-
quiri, about 18 miles east of Santiago, especially interesting for its
cacti; on the Gran Piedra, to a height of +,000 feet; on the Yateras
Range, 20 to 25 miles south of Guantanamo, to a height of 2,100 feet,
and at Novaliches, a cactus region, 6 miles south of Guantanamo. He
collected about 3,000 dried specimens and about 160 living cacti and
orchids. ‘Phe former were mostly ferns, representing about two-
thirds of the known species of Cuba, many being rare. He also made
observations regarding the distribution of the rare insectivorous
mammal, Solenodon cubanus, and secured several specimens of the
Hutia rat, Capromys, and one specimen of the rare Cuban ivory-
billed woodpecker, Campephilus baird?.

Explorations by other branches of the Government and by indi-
viduals resulted, as in previous years, in extensive additions to the
collections of biology. The work of the Bureau of Fisheries in the
Northwestern Pacific Ocean, of the Biological Survey in the West,
of the Bureau of Plant Industry in Mexico, of Doctor Mearns in the
Philippines, of Prof. C. H. Eigenmann in Cuba, and of Dr. H.
Pittier and Dr. Edward Palmer in Central eee and Mexico are
deserving of special mention. Valuable material was also received
as the result of explorations by the Costa Rican National Museum.

During May, 1907, Dr. George P. Merrill, head curator of geology,
spent a week at Coon Butte crater, Arizona, conducting investigations
under a grant from the Smithsonian Institution, and another week
in collecting specimens of fossil wood in the Fossil Forest reserva-
tion near Adamana, in the same Territory.

Mr. G. W. Gilmore, also under the auspices of the Smithsonian
Institution, left Washineton on May 22, 1907, for Alaska, where he
will explore several regions in which the remains of the mammoth
and other large mammals are likely to oecur. Under the jot aus-
pices of the U. S. Geological Survey and the Museum, geological
Investigations were carried on in the Mississippi Valley by Dr. R. 8.
Bassler, and on June 17, 1907, Dr. A. C. Peale was detailed to ac-
company Dr. F. AH. Knowlton, of the Survey, for the purpose of
studying certain problems regarding the fossil flora of the Laramie
region.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS.

There were lent for study to specialists not connected with the
Museum over 6,000 specimens. About 25,000 duplicate specimens
were used in making exchanges, and some 16,000 were distributed for
teaching purposes to educational establishments throughout the
country. The latter were mostly contained in 199 sets, as follows:
i of marine invertebrates, 21 of fishes, 51 of rocks, 43 of nonmetallic
minerals and ores, 2 of minerals, and 29 of invertebrate fossils; and

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 45

in 9 miscellaneous sets made up of representatives of several groups
each.

Among the more important foreign museums and other scientific
institutions with which exchange relations were had during the year
the following may be mentioned: The British Museum of Nataral
History, London, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England;
the Museum of Natural History, Paris, France; the Botanical Mu-
seum, Berlin, the Botanical Garden, Darmstadt, the Senchenberg-
ischen Museums, Frankfort, and the Natural History Museum,
Lubeck, Germany; the Botanical Garden, Brussels, Belgium: the
Botanical Museum. Copenhagen, Denmark; the Naturhistoriska
Riksmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden; the Zoological Museum, Chris-
tiania, Norway; the Zoological Museum of the Imperial Academy of
Sciences, and the Royal Botanical Garden, St. Petersburg, Russia ;
the Musée Cantonale d'Histoire Naturelle, Freiburg, Switzerland;
the K. K. Naturhistorisches Hofmuseum, Vienna, Austria; the Hun-
garian National Museum, Budapest, Hungary: the Botanic Gardens,

New South Wales; the Selangor State Museum, Kuala Lumpur,
Federated Malay States; the Instituto Medico Nacional, City. of
Mexico; the Hope Gardens, Kingston, Jamaica; the Université
Laval, Quebec, the Geological Survey of Canada, and the University
of Toronto, Canada; and the Estacion Central Agronomica, Santiago
de las Vegas, Cuba.

Exchanges were also conducted with the following individuals
abroad: Mr. Edward Lovett, of England; Mons. Drouin de Bouville,
Dr. Henri Martin, and Mons. M. Petitmengin, of France; Dr. Wal-
ther Horn, of Germany; Dr. J. E. Hibsch, of Austria: Mr. A. Roman,
of Sweden; Baron Harold Loudon, of Russia; Dr. A. Berger, of
Italy; Dr. H. Christ and Mr. Henry Volkart, of Switzerland; Rev.
Longin Navas, of Spain; Mr. R. L. Mestayer, of New Zealand;
Senor Juan Tremoleras, of Uruguay; Mr. Constantine G. Rickards
and Dr. Nicolas Leon, of Mexico; Mr. James Fowler and Dr. G. F.
Matthew, of Canada.

VISITORS.

The total number of visitors to the National Museum building dur-
ing the year was 210,107, a daily average of 671, and to the Smith-
sonian building 153,591, a daily average of 490. Were the buildings
kept open during evenings and Sundays, as is the general practice
elsewhere, these numbers would be at least doubled.

In the following tables are shown, respectively, the attendance dur-
ing each month of the past year, and for each year beginning with
1881, when the Museum building was first opened to the public.

MEETINGS.

In November, 1906, the lecture hall was fitted up for the purposes of
the National Gallery of Art until more suitable quarters could be .
provided for the latter. This prevented the holding of regular lec-
ture courses during the year, but by removing the cases occupying —
the floor it has been possible to utilize the hall for a limited number
of meetings. The American Ornithologists’ Union had its annual

congress here from November 13 to 15, inclusive.

On the evening of December 3, under the auspices of the Board
of Regents, a meeting was held to commemorate the life and services
of the late Secretary, Samuel Pierpont Langley, at which many of his

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 47

associates and friends were gathered. The Hon. Melville W. Fuller,
Chief Justice of the United States and Chancellor of the Institution,
presided, and made a few introductory remarks. Addresses were
then delivered by the Hon. Andrew D. White, a Regent of the Insti-
tution; by Prof. E. C. Pickering, Director of the Harvard University
Observatory, and by Mr. Octave Chanute, the distinguished engi-
neer of Chicago.

The hall was also used by the National Academy of Sciences for
its public meetings from April 16 to 18, inclusive.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The amount of correspondence which devolves upon the Museum
is exceptionally great, since, as a national institution, it has come to
be regarded by the public generally as a place where information
upon the several subjects within its scope may be freely sought. In
accordance with the traditional policy of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, of which it forms a part, the requests of correspondents have
been cordially complied with so far as possible, although the prep-
aration of rephes encroaches heavily upon the time of the scientific
as well as the clerical staff. This is especially so when specimens
are transmitted for identification, the number of such received during
the past year having amounted to several thousand, contained in
nearly 800 separate lots or sendings.

The office of correspondence also attends to the distribution of the
publications of the Museum, of which about 52,000 copies of volumes
and separates were distributed during the year to institutions and
individuals on the regular mailing lst, and about 21,000 copies in
compliance with special requests.

PUBLICATIONS.

The publications issued during the year comprised 8 volumes and
4 parts of volumes. The Annual Report of the Museum for 1904—5,
the completion of which had been delayed, and that for 1905-6 were
both published in November, 1906. They were limited to adminis-
trative matters, the customary general appendix of scientific papers
being omitted.

Volume 31 of the Proceedings of the Museum was published on
February 19, 1907, and volume 32 was completed, except as to bind-
ing, by the end of the year. The former contained 26 papers, the
latter 51, a total of 77 important contributions based on the Museum
collections. These papers were also issued in separate form, in ed1-
tions of 600 copies each, as soon as possible after their preparation,
for distribution to specialists and scientific establishments.

The Bulletins issued were No. 53, volume 2, “A Catalogue of the
type and figured specimens of Fossil Vertebrates and Plants, Miner-

48 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

als, Rocks, and Ores contained in the Department of Geology; ” No.
56, part 1, “Mammals of the Mexican Boundary of the United
States, by Maj. Edgar A. Mearns, surgeon, U. S. Army;” No. 57,
“The families and genera of Bats, by Gerrit S. Miller, jr.;” and
Volume NI of the Contributions from the U. S. National Herba-
rium, devoted entirely to a description of the “ Flora of the State of
Washington,” by Mr. Charles V. Piper, of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.

The parts of volumes published were reprints of Parts A and G
of Bulletin No. 39, being directions for collecting birds and mollusks,
respectively; a supplement to Bulletin No. 51, being a list of the
publications of the Museum from 1901 to 1906, and three parts of
Volume X of the Contributions from the National Herbirium, as
follows: Part 2, The genus Ptelea in the western and southwestern
United States and Mexico.” by Dr. Edward L. Greene: Part 3,
“Studies of Mexican and Central American plants,” by Dr. J. N.
tose, being the report of his botanical researches on a fifth trip to
Mexico in the interest of the division of plants; Part 4, * Legumi-
noswe of Porto Rico,” by Dr. Janet Perkins.

The following Bulletins were in print at the close of the year, but
were not bound and ready for distribution until in July: No. 50,
Part TV, of the * Birds of North and Middle America,” by Robert
Ridgway: No. 58, * Herpetology of Japan and adjacent territory,”
by Leonhard Stejneger: No. 59," Recent Madreporaria of the Ha-
walian Islands and Laysan,” by T. Wayland Vaughan.

In addition to the above, twelve short papers descriptive of Mu-
seum material, maimly by members of its staff, were published in the
Quarterly Issue of the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections. Four
were on Mammals, one on reptiles, one on mollusks, one on mosquitoes,
three on botany, one on Brazilian Indians, and one faunal. Permis-
sion was also granted for the printing elsewhere than in the publica-
tions of the Institution and Museum of seven papers of a similar
character.

The 106 scientific papers mentioned above may be classified by
subjects as follows: Mammals, 22; birds, 3; reptiles and bactrach-
fans, 3: fishes, 19: imsects, 8; mollusks, 9; crustaceans, 8; helmin-
thology, 2; echinoderms, 4; corals, 1; comparative anatomy, 2;
botany, 7; fauna, 1; geology, 3; meteorites, 4: fossils, 9; ethnology,
1. They are cited in full in the Bibliography at the end of this
report.

LIBRARY.

The Museum has been fortunate in continuing to receive from Prof.
O. T. Mason, Dr. C. A. White, and Dr. W. L. Ralph many scientific

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 49

publications of importance in completing the sets and series in the
library. Dr. C. W. Richmond has also continued to give to the
Museum many rare scientific works not to be found elsewhere in the
city. The plan adopted by the Regional Bureau of the International
Catalogue of Scientific Literature, of sending to authors lists of their
scientific writings that have been entered in the Catalogue and re-
questing any that have not been cited, has proven of special benefit
to the Museum through the acquisition of many separates from peri-
odicals, journals, ete.

The lbrary now contains 30,307 volumes, 47,642 unbound papers,
and 108 manuscripts. The additions during the year consisted of
2,581 books, 3,567 pamphlets, and 111 parts of volumes. There were
catalogued 1,301 books, 3,567 pamphlets, and 13,215 parts of period-
icals. The number of cards added to the reference catalogue was
6,330. Gaps in 550 sets of publications were completely or partially
filled, and 1,020 books were bound.

The number of books, periodicals, and pamphlets borrowed from
the general library amounted to 34,859, including 9,397 assigned to
the sectional libraries, of which there are 29,

PHOTOGRAPHY.

The photographie laboratory, which is one of the best equipped for
its purpose in existence, has for its object the preparation of ilus-
trations for the publications of the Museum, for the manuscript
records of important collections, and for the exhibition halls, and of
copies of plans relating to details of construction in connection with
the buildings, furniture, ete.

The number of negatives made during the year was about 1,600; of
silver, velox, bromide and platinum prints, about 3,600; of blueprints,
2,177; and of bromide enlargements, 229. Most of the enlargements
and some of the other work enumerated were prepared especially for
the exhibit of the Museum at the Jamestown Ter-Centennial Ex-
position, for which there was also assembled by Mr. T. W. Smillie,
chief photographer, a unique collection illustrative of the history of
photography from 1824 to the present time.

YXPOSITIONS.

Jamestown Ter-Centennial Exposition—As stated-in last year’s
report, the sundry civil act approved June 30, 1906, contained an item
of $200,000 to enable the United States Government, including the
Smithsonian Institution and National Museum, to prepare exhibits
for the Jamestown Exposition, which opened April 26, 1907, and in
the same connection an additional sum of $350,000 was appropriated
for the construction of the necessary buildings for their display.

50 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907.

“

The amount allotted from the former appropriation to the Institu-
tion and Museum by the Ter-Centennial Commission was only
$16,000, with which to prepare and install a comprehensive collee-
tion illustrating the aboriginal, colomial, and national history of
America, but it is beheved that an effective result has been attained
even with these slender means. A separate building connected with
one of the main Government buildings by an open colonnade, known
as Annex B, and containing about 6,000 square feet of floor space,
was assigned to the Institution and its branches.

Mr. W. de C. Ravenel, Administrative Assistant of the Museum,
was designated to represent the Institution and the Museum, and the
preparation of the collection was carried forward and completed in
accordance with plans submitted by him and approved by the Secre-
tary. The following account relates only to the part taken by the
Museum. A more detailed report of the entire exhibit under the
Institution will be published later in the report of the Smithsonian
proper.

The object sought by the Museum was to convey a correct impres-
sion of the character and culture of the aborigines, of the principal
events in American history during the three hundred years succeed-
ing the arrival of Capt. John Smith, and incidentally of the progress
made in certain fields of invention. This plan was carried out by
the assembling of collections of prehistoric Indian household imple-
ments, and of representations of the arts of Alaska and the outlying
possessions, Porto Rico, Hawai, Samoa, and the Philippine Islands;
by means of groups of life-sized lay figures, photographs, paintings,
engravings, and colonial and revolutionary relies, illustrating certain
periods, costumes, and historic events; by the use of models ilustra-
tive of primitive methods of land transportation in America and
early water transportation by steam, including some of the impor-
tant early railway locomotives, such as the Stevens locomotive of
1825; the “Tom Thumb,” constructed by Peter Cooper, which in
1829 drew a car of passengers 13 miles in fifty-seven minutes; the
Enghsh “Stourbridge Lion;” the American “ Best Friend.” built
in IS3l, and others; by means of models of the Morse telegraph and
Bell telephone apparatus, pieces of apparatus used by Prof. Joseph
Henry in connection with his electrical researches, and a series of
American small arms, muskets, rifles, and carbines, illustrating vari-
ous stages of development down to the United States army rifle of
1903.

The most interesting group historically, prepared under the super-
vision of Mr. W. H. Holmes, Chief of the Bureau of American Eth-
nology, depicts Capt. John Smith accompanied by ten of his com-
rades in the costumes of 1607, with arms of the same period, trading
for corn with a party of Powhatan Indians at the mouth of the

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM; 1907. 51

James River, near one of their villages. Capt. John Smith and his
men are in a sailboat 22 feet long and 8 feet wide; some of the
Indians are in a canoe alongside exchanging corn and skins for beads,
blankets, hatchets, looking-glasses, and the lke; while some are on
the bank offering fruit. Other groups show the aborigines engaged
in making implements, the costumes worn by the Virginia planter
and his wife, the Dutch patroon and his wife, the Puritan and his
wife, and a Spanish soldier and lady.

Another feature of special interest is a frieze around the hall of
colored portraits of 130 persons prominent in American history,
beginning with Christopher Columbus and including the most
famous explorers, soldiers, sailors, philanthropists, authors, jurists,
artists, scientists, inventors, and architects. Below this frieze the
wall space is occupied by a collection of engravings, paintings, and
photographs of historic scenes and events in American history, in-
cluding 50 colored drawings of Indians, facsimiles of those made
in 1585 by Governor John White. The principal events in the
development of photography and in medical science are also repre-
sented by special exhibits.

International Maritime Exposition at Bordeaux.—This exposition,
which opened on May 1 of the present calendar vear and will close
on October 31, is the outcome of a plan conceived by the French
Maritime League to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the
beginning of steam navigation. The United States Government was
invited through the French Ambassador to participate, and Congress
voted the sum of $15,000 to meet the necessary expenses. At the
request of the Secretary of State the Smithsonian Institution agreed
to undertake the preparation, installation, and maintenance of a
Government exhibit, and Mr. W. de C. Ravenel, Administrative
Assistant of the Museum, was placed in chargé as the representative
of the Smithsonian Institution. Of the amount appropriated the
sum of $8,000 was allotted for this purpose, but owing to the late
date at which Congress took action it was impossible to complete
the installation at Bordeaux until the Ist of July.

The objects selected from the National Museum consist in part of
a number of models illustrating the boats and other water craft used
by the aborigines of the Western Hemisphere, and show the effect
of environment on structural materials. They have been arranged
geographically from Point Barrow, in Alaska, to the Straits of Magel-
lan, and include the Eskimo kaiak and the skin canoe of Arctic
waters; the dugout of the Pacific coast, and the birch-bark canoe
of Canada, the Eastern States, and the Great Lakes; the old form
of canoe made from a single tree trunk by the Indians of Virginia;
the coracle or “ bull boat ” of the Sioux, made of skin stretched over
a crate, and the reed cane float of the early inhabitants of Nevada,

ete.; an ancient form of raft made of three logs; a seagoing raft
of logs, provided with a kind of platform, cabin, and sail; a rough
bark canoe from Peru and the Amazon region, and a specimen of
the Fuegian bark canoe, frequently constructed in sections for con-
venience in portage.

The Museum also furnished drawings, photographs, and models
of John Fitch’s boat, which steamed on the Delaware River in 1787,
and of Robert Fulton’s steamer Clermont, which, on August 11, 1807,
made its famous trip on the Hudson River from New York City to
Albany, a distance of 150 miles in thirty-two hours. Other celebrated
boats, represented by models, are the Savannah, the first steamship
to cross the Atlantic, and the Phoenix, the first steamboat to navi-
gate the ocean.

The Bureau of Fisheries, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Bu-
reau of Navigation, the Reclamation Service, the Isthmian Canal
Commission, the War and Navy Departments, and the Life-Saving
Service also contributed models and photographs. Through the
courtesy of Mr. R. Fulton Ludlow, grandson of Robert Fulton, there
was also exhibited the compass used by Pilot Acker on the Clermont
on the Hudson River, during 1807 and 1808, and a number of other
relics of Fulton belonging to Mr. Ludlow.

ORGANIZATION AND STAFF.

To the National Gallery of Art, a definite status, under the imme-
diate direction of the National Museum, was given during the past
year, as elsewhere explained. The curatorship of this important
branch has been temporarily accepted by Mr. W. H. Holmes, Chief
of the Bureau of American Ethnology, and an artist of distinction.

Mr. Lancaster D. Burling, formerly of the Geological Survey, was
appointed an assistant curator in the division of stratigraphic pale-
ontology, in charge of the Cambrian collection; and, in the absence
of Dr. W. H. Ashmead, Dr. Harrison G. Dyar acted as assistant
curator of insects during several months. Mr. Otto Heidemann, of
the Bureau of Entomology, was made custodian of the Hemiptera in
the division of insects.

Mr. Alvin Seale, formerly of Leland Stanford Junior University,
was employed during three months of the winter to assist in rear-
ranging the collections of fishes.

The furlough of Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, jr., now temporarily con-
nected with the British Museum, was continued for another year.
Mr. LeRoy Abrams, assistant curator of plants, Mr. Walter L. Hahn,
aid in the division of mammals, and Mr. E. J. Horgan, aid in the see-
tion of birds’ eggs, severed their connection with the Museum,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1907. 538
Through the death, on June 27, 1907, of Mr. Paul Edmond Beck-
with, assistant curator of the division of history, the Museum suffered
a severe loss. The main burden of installing and caring for the his-
torical collections fell upon him, and he was also in direct charge of
the collections of coins and medals and of ceramics, with all of which
subjects he was widely acquainted. Endowed with an artistic tem-
perament, the exhibitions which he arranged were always pleasing
and attractive to the public, while his personality won for the Museum
many generous and appreciative friends. He was devoted to his work
and untiring in the fulfillment of his duties. Mr. Beckwith was born
at St. Louis, Missouri, September 22, 1848, and entered the service of
the Museum in 1886. He was a member of several scientific and
patriotic societies.

fore, monographic in its scope. The
study of this fauna brought out the
fact that the Rochester shales of
the New York province are equivalent
to the Osgood beds along the western
side of the Cincinnati axis, thus cor-
reeting former correlations. Further
correlations were made with the Si-
lurian of Europe, and the stratigraphy
of these various regions was discussed.
