REPORT ON THE PROGRESS AND CONDITION OF
THE U. 8. NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR THE
YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1911.

By RicHARD RATHBUN,
Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution,
in charge of the U. S. National Museum.

INCEPTION AND HISTORY.

The Congress of the United States, in the act of August 10, 1846,
founding the Smithsonian Institution, recognized that an opportun-
ity was afforded, in carrying out the large-minded design of Smith-
son, 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 time the Government bore a share, and during the past
35 years Congress has voted the entire funds for the expenses of the
Museum, thus furthering one of the primary means “ for the in-
crease 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 re-
called 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

lod

‘

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 formulating
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 letter of
the law. It would seem not out of place to cite here the first pro-
nouncement of the board with reference to the character of the
Museum :

“In obedience to the requirements of the charter,’ which leaves
little discretion in regard to the extent of accommodations to be
provided, your committee recommend that there be included in the
building 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 re-
quired to be included in the Museum your committee regard its ethno-
logical portion, including all collections that may supply items in the
physical history of our species, and illustrate the manners, customs,
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. * * * Jn this connexion, your committee recommend the
passage of resolutions asking the cooperation of certain public func-
tionaries, 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.

“ Specimens of staple materials, of their gradual manufacture, and

of the finished product of manufactures and the arts may also, your

Congress, the use of the word ‘“ charter” in this connection was not correct.

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
manufactures. * * * ;

“The gallery of art, your committee think, should include botn
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 exhibition 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
concentrate at the metropolis for a certain portion’ of each winter
the best results of talent in the fine arts.”

The important points in the foregoing 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; (8) 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 proposed, pending the gathering of art collections, which
would of necessity be slow, to provide for loan exhibitions by co-
operating with art academies and societies.

In the resolutions which were adopted upon the presentation of
the 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
museum and the lbrary was long ago assumed by Congress, the
Institution taking upon itself only so much of the necessary responsi-

* 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 investigations and efforts of those who may devote themselves to the
pursuit of any branch of knowledge.

10 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

bility 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 the only material change in the scope of the
Government Museum has been the addition of a department of
American history, intended to illustrate by an appropriate assem-
blage of objects the lives of distinguished personages, important
events, and the domestic life of the country from the colonial period
to the present time.

The development of the Museum has been greatest in those sub-
jects which the conditions of the past 60 years have made most
fruitful—the natural history, geology, ethnology, and archeology
of the United States, supplemented by many collections from other
countries. The opportunities for acquisition 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 Smithsonian 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 advan-
tage 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 five years,
during which its interests have been markedly advanced.

With the completion of the new large granite structure on the
Mall, the Museum comes virtually into possession of a group of
three buildings, in which there is opportunity for a proper system-
atic arrangement of its vast and varied collections, as well as a com-
prehensive public installation, and under these favorable conditions
it 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 library 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 speci-
mens 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 educa-
tional point of view it is of great value to those persons who are

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 1a §

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, appointment, and color is considered, a selec-
tion of representative objects is placed on view to the public, all
being carefully labeled individually 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
classroom games or studies. Under authority from Congress, the
small colleges and higher grades of schools and academies through-
out the land, especially in places where museums do not exist, are
also being aided in their educational work by sets of duplicate speci-
mens, 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
public and to students, has yet in these operations made important
discoveries in every department of the Museum’s activities, which
have in turn been communicated to other scholars through its nu-
merous publications. But the collections have not been held for
the study of the staff nor for the scientific advancement of those be-
longing 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 material in the Museum would be greatly curtailed.
When it is possible to so arrange, the investigator comes to Wash-
ington; otherwise such collections as he needs are sent to him, whether
he resides in this country or abroad. 4n 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 con-
spicuous factor in the advancement of knowledge wherever civiliza-
tion has a foothold.

COMPLETION AND OCCUPATION OF THE NEW
BUILDING.

The final work in the construction of the new building for the
National Museum was completed on June 20, 1911, just six years
after the excavations for its foundation walls were begun. That this
result was not reached some months earlier, as had been anticipated,
was mainly due to delays in the fulfillment of certain contracts, but
the work has at all times been conducted with that deliberation and
attention to details which were necessary to secure entire stability
and permanency of structure and these, it is believed, have been
obtained. The building is massive and imposing, a worthy addition
to the group of Government structures at the Capital, and seems
thoroughly adapted to the purpose for which it was erected.

The new building is located on the Mall directly in front of the
Smithsonian building, which it faces, and from which it is distant
about 750 feet. It is of classic design, four stories high, and finished
in granite on all sides. It has a frontage of 561 feet, a depth of 365
feet, and a height of 82 feet. Its shorter axis is in a line with the
center of Tenth Street, through which it may be reached from Penn-
sylvania Avenue, three blocks away. The principal feature ex-
teriorly is a large pavilion at the middle of the south side, termi-
nating in four pediments at some distance above the main roofs.
Inclosed by this pavilion is an octagonal rotunda, 80 feet in diameter,
with four massive stone piers and a curved tiled ceiling reaching to
a height of 124 feet 7 inches. At the top the rotunda is carried be-
yond the pediments of the pavilion in the shape of a circular granite
wall or drum, capped by a low rounded dome with slate covering,
the crown of which is 162 feet 2 inches above the ground. The south
pavilion contains the main entrance, which opens into the first story,
is sheltered by a Corinthian portico and reached by the broad steps
and platforms of the approaches from the driveway. On the north-
ern side of the building there is another public entrance, leading into
the ground story.

The main part of the building consists fundamentally of three
great wings, which extent east, west and north from the south pavil-
ion, producing a shape like the letter T. These wings, in turn, are
joined near their outer ends by two ranges, each bent at right angles,
which compose the northeastern and northwestern sections of the
building and help to inclose two uncovered courts 128 feet square.

12

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. | he

This arrangement gives to the entire building in horizontal section
a general rectangular outline, with projections formed by the ends
of the wings and the south pavilion. On the exterior of the wings
the granite facings are carried the entire height, but in the ranges
the upper story is inclosed by a mansard roof. The wings are 116
feet wide inside and the ranges 54 feet. In the latter the lighting is
accomplished wholly by means of windows, but in each of the wings,
on account of their unusual width, it has been necessary to use a large
central skylight as well as windows. The light-wells, 50 feet wide,
are carried down to the first story, which is completely floored over.
The second and third stories are, therefore, of less area than the first
story to the extent of these piercings, while the ground story has
corresponding dark spaces, which are, nevertheless, entirely service-
able. In the wings, moreover, the lofts or attics directly. under the
roofs are of sufficient height to constitute what is in effect a fifth story
suitable for the storage of specimens. The building is thoroughly
fireproof, and its museum purpose is clearly denoted by its exception-
ally large window openings, which are much wider than the interven-
ing piers. Its construction and equipment include the best known
appliances and methods for heating, lighting, ventilating, and clean-
ing, and for safe-guarding the collections.

The total floor area of the building is somewhat more than 10 acres,
about one-half of which, comprising all of the first and second stories
and the central part of the middle wing in the ground story, has been
allotted to the general public, that is to say, to the installation of the
exhibition collections. The rest of the building is devoted to those
other various purposes which pertain to the maintenance and activi-
ties of a large museum. The ground story of the east wing is occu-
pied by the heating and electric plant and the principal workshops
for construction and repair. The space directly under the rotunda
has been fitted up as an auditorium, with a seating capacity for 565
persons. The remainder of the ground story, the entire third story
and the attics, divided into rooms of different sizes, are used for the
storage of the reserve collections, and for the laboratories, prepar-
ators’ workshops, library, and offices.

The new building was designed and erected to house those several
branches of the national collections which are comprehended in the
term “natural history ” as broadly interpreted by American museums,
including ethnology and archeology, as well as biology and geology.
In these directions the National Museum has had its greatest and
most important growth, mainly through the agency of Government
surveys, and large as the structure is its area is not above what will
be required in the near future for the preservation and exhibition of
the collections relating to these subjects. In fact, it has been neces-
sary to look elsewhere to find appropriate accommodations for the

14 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

division of plants, whose collections, already extensive, are increasing
rapidly. With the readjustments now in progress, the older Museum
building and the lower exhibition halls in the Smithsonian building
will become entirely available for the arts and industries and Ameri-
can history.

While the division of space between the three departments under
which the scientific collections are administered is not equal, owing
to the fact that their requirements in this respect are not identical, it
may be said that in a general way anthropology occupies the middle
part of the building, geology with paleontology the eastern part, and
biology the western part. The distribution of the reserve collections
and laboratories of the several divisions within the departments has
been determined by various considerations. The central dark area of
the west wing in the ground story has been converted into a vast
alcoholic storage room, about which are located the laboratories for
reptiles, fishes, and marine invertebrates. To the division of mam-
mals, which has the most bulky of all the reserve collections, has
been allotted the entire western range in the same story; while the
corresponding eastern range contains the section of vertebrate paleon-
tology, and the geological and anthropological workshops. In the
third story the divisions of birds, mollusks, and insects are on the
western side; the divisions of ethnology, historic and prehistoric
archeology, and physical anthropology are on the northern side and
in the middle wing; and the divisions of physical and chemical
geology, mineralogy, and paleontology are on the eastern side. The
storage spaces in the attics are apportioned among the several divi-
sions in accordance with their needs.

In preparing the new building for occupancy many difficult prob-
lems, relating chiefly to the subject of furnishings, have been
encountered, but they have been mostly settled satisfactorily. As
very little of standard commercial make is applicable to museum
needs, it has been necessary to have the great majority of the furni-
ture constructed specially and to plan separately for the various
requirements of different classes of specimens. After careful con-
sideration it was decided to use fireproof or fire-resisting material
for the storage furniture, which is mainly contained in closed rooms,
and nearly all of the storage cases, racks, and shelving have been
built of or covered with steel. While experience has shown that
entire reliance can not be placed on metal furniture to secure immu-
nity from the effects of fire, still by its employment the surfaces on
which a fire might catch or along which a fire might be carried may
be greatly reduced in extent if not eliminated, and with constant.
oversight by an efficient watch force this is an advantage to be
counted. In the large public halls, however, where a fire is less
likely to originate and may more readily be detected, the use of

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 15

metal is less significant, and for this and other reasons wood has
been adopted as the common material for the frames and bases of
the exhibition cases.

As it was desirable to first establish the scientific staff and the
general collections in the building, the construction of the storage
and laboratory furniture was taken up and mostly finished before
work on the exhibition cases was begun. The moving of the reserve
collections was commenced in August, 1909, and by the close of last
year not only had it been practically completed, but the systematic
arrangement of the specimens in their new quarters, either perma-
nently or tentatively, had also been mainly accomplished. While
the new installation had not been perfected to the same extent in all
of the divisions, yet, as a whole, it was so far advanced as to produce
conditions vastly superior to those existing at any previous time.
Such a result, however, was only made possible by the greatly
increased and more convenient accommodations, which permitted the
spreading out in an accessible and orderly manner of essentially all
of the material belonging to each division, and by the employment
of temporary help exceptional progress was made in the work of
recording and cataloguing specimens. The mechanical and scientific
workshops and the offices generally were also among the first of the
new quarters to be furnished.

The building of exhibition cases, started in 1910, was carried on
actively during last year, and must still be continued for some time
longer. The furnishing of 5 acres of exhibition space is an under-
taking of considerable magnitude and complexity, since, while cer-
tain units may be established, each case or set of cases must be
planned with reference to some particular display feature, and this
in turn depends upon a thorough understanding of the material that
is available and suitable for the purpose. Furthermore, a large pro-
portion of the specimens, as illustrated especially by the mammals,
birds, skeletons, and ethnological groups, must first undergo prepara-
tion by slow and laborious processes, and in regard to these the case
requirements can not be foretold. This explanation is made for the
benefit of those who, not acquainted with the circumstances, may
wonder why the exhibition halls in the new building are not being
finished more rapidly. There has, in fact, been no interruption to
the work since it was started, and a very considerable area was early
made accessible for the public by temporarily utilizing many old
cases and old groupings. Other spaces have been and will continue
to be opened under similar conditions, and in a comparatively short
time the public may expect to gain entire possession of the two
stories which are designed to be their province. Whatever additions
and improvements are subsequently made, they will not interfere
with the movement of visitors. It should also be explained that

16 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

the installations now in progress will be much more extensive and
effective than those with which the public has been acquainted in
the older buildings. Serving as a nucleus, these are being thoroughly
weeded out, much of the old material giving place to better speci-
mens, while the number of additions will be very great and their
character such as to markedly increase the interest and educational
value of the halls.

As stated in the last report, the middle hall on the main floor was
opened to the public on March 17, 1910, the central part being occu-
pied by the paintings of the National Gallery of Art and the sides
and ends by a tentative but very attractive exhibition of ethnological
groups and objects. Since that time the provisional installation has
also been finished in the two northern ranges on the same floor, both
of which are likewise devoted to the subject of ethnology, and the
work of revision looking to a permanent arrangement has been ac-
tively carried on. Included in the latter were the initial steps toward
enlarging and elaborating 12 family lay-figure groups for which the
cases, measuring 8} by 12 feet each, had been built. The series of
transparencies was remounted and, with the addition of a number of
new subjects, was arranged in steel frames in northern and western
windows. The large totem poles were effectively installed at the
southern end of the middle hall, and models of a Zufi altar and of
an Iroquois village were constructed and placed. ‘The other exhibi-
tions which were most rapidly approaching completion were those
relating to historic and prehistoric archeology, systematic geology,
mineralogy, and vertebrate and invertebrate paleontology.

At the close of the year the following collections destined for the
new building were still on exhibition in the older buildings, namely,
the American mammals, the birds, marine invertebrates, and skele-
tons; the gems, building stones, fossil plants, and a section of ethno-
logical objects.

The work done upon the new building during last year comprised
the completion of the rotunda and the south or main approaches,
and the painting of the interior plastered walls and ironwork. It
is also to be noted that the improvement of the grounds about the
building, under the direction of the officer in charge of public build-
ings and grounds, was nearly finished. This included extensive
erading and sodding, the readjustment and rebuilding of certain
parts of the main roads, and the construction of driveways and walks
to the several entrances.

BUILDINGS AND FURNITURE.

The work done in connection with the new building has been
described on a previous page. The older Museum building and the
Smithsonian building have been maintained in a satisfactory condi-
tion, and the adaptation of the large second-story hall in the latter,
tormerly occupied by the archeological collections, for the purposes
of the division of plants, including the National Herbarium, was
completed.

With the removal of the natural history and anthropological
collections, now in large part accomplished, the exhibition halls in
both of these buildings will, with minor exceptions, be entirely de-
voted to the arts and industries and American history. The space
which is being vacated is sufficiently large to accommodate many of
the subjects which have hitherto been crowded out, and at the same
time to permit of the necessary extension of some of the existing
exhibits. The opening up of the very large amount of material
which has been held in storage awaiting this opportunity has so
far been deferred because of the importance of directing the energies
of the staff toward completing the arrangements in the new building,
but it will soon be commenced.

Under a special appropriation made by Congress to the Smith-
sonian Institution, two automatic electric passenger elevators were
introduced in the Smithsonian building, where the lack of such con-
veniences has been greatly felt. One of these, installed at the north
or main entrance, gives access to the National Herbarium and the
offices of the Bureau of American Ethnology, while the other, located
at the east entrance, connects the several floors occupied by the
offices of general administration.

Considerable progress was made in providing furniture and fix-
tures for the new building, the greater part of which were con-
structed under contract, though the Museum shops were run to
their full capacity, and such articles as could be obtained in the
markets were purchased. The principal acquisitions comprised 318
exhibition cases, 108 storage cases and pieces of laboratory furni-
ture, 151 pieces of office and miscellaneous furniture, 4,444 wooden
and 1,000 steel unit specimen drawers, and 426 specimen drawers of
special sizes. Additional items consisted of case fittings, such as
shelving, small bases and trays for specimens, label holders, window
curtains, etc. One hundred and fifty-seven exhibition and 815 stor-
age cases were remodeled in the Museum shops.

An inventory covering all furniture belonging to the Museum
shows that there were on hand at the end of the year 2,724 exhibi-
tion cases of all kinds and sizes, 5,990 storage cases and pieces of
laboratory furniture, 2,800 pieces of office and miscellaneous furni-

ture, 32,976 unit specimen drawers of wood, 4,712 unit specimen
drawers of steel, 6,839 insect drawers, and 13,253 miscellaneous speci-
men drawers and boxes of various sizes.

COLLECTIONS.

The total number of specimens received by the Museum during the
year as permanent acquisitions was approximately 228,642, of which
17,361 were anthropological, 204,540 were biological, 6,647 were geo-
logical and paleontological, and 94 were paintings and engravings
presented to the National Gallery of Art. In addition, 1,629 objects
were accepted as loans for exhibition in several of the divisions of
the department of anthropology and in the National Gallery of Art.
A complete list of the accessions will be found in the latter part of
this report.

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.

Ethnology.—A collection from Liberia, lent by Mr. George W.
Ellis, jr., formerly secretary of the American Legation in that
country, is especially interesting as representing a region in which
the culture of the Sudan has been carried to the coast by the Man-
dingans and other Vai-speaking peoples who have reached a com-
paratively high state of progress. It comprises cotton blankets of
superior pattern and weave; fine examples of leather work on
weapons or as bags, sandals, and trappings; basketry; vessels of
wood, gourd, and horn; knives, swords, spears, and other iron work;
articles connected with daily life; and ceremonial objects. Mr. Hoff-
man Philip, late consul general at Adis Ababa, Abyssinia, now sec-
retary of the American Embassy at Constantinople, deposited an im-
portant collection consisting of basketry, a silver-mounted shield, a
miter, crucifixes, necklaces, bracelets, ecclesiastical paintings, a manu-
script book, etc., from Abyssinia, and a number of other objects from
the neighboring tribes under the rule of Emperor Menelek IT.

A valuable series of American Indian objects, including aboriginal
buckskin costumes, pouches, clubs, bows, arrows and quivers, cradles,
musical instruments, ceremonial headdresses, baskets, and blankets,
collected by the late Capt. Allyn K. Capron, United States Army,
and Mrs. Capron, during the prolonged service of the former on
the southern plains, was purchased. Several Osage Indian sacred
packs, formerly regarded with great veneration and the basis of
certain traditional cerémonies, were obtained for the Museum by
Mr. Francis La Flesche, of the Bureau of American Ethnology.
They are very old and contain objects and material in weaving, etc.,
which cast light on the industries of perhaps a century ago. In one
is a set of instruments for tattooing, the practice of which art was

20 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

considered a sacred rite by the Osage. Another of these packs was
received from the Bureau of American Ethnology, to which it had
been presented by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bonnicastle. Thirty-one
paintings, illustrating the social and ceremonial life of the Hopi
Indians, by Miss Kate T. Cory, of Prescott, Arizona, who has lived
with this tribe for severai years, were lent by the artist. A small
but interesting series of bows, arrows, textiles, garments, and ancient
pottery from the Province of Chiriqui, together with a vocabulary
of 100 words of the San Blas Indian language, were received as a
gift from Mrs. William H. Bell.

Small lots of material obtained by purchase comprised objects
from tribal remnants of the Alibamu Indians and the Seminoles and
Shawnees; light buff earthenware pottery with red decorations, a
variety new to the Museum, together with the tools used in making
it, collected in the vicinity of Tampico, Mexico, by Dr. Edward
Palmer; a number of articles of art and ceremony, from the Chip-
pewa Indians of Minnesota; and a supplementary collection of
games secured by Mr. Stewart Culin, of the Museum of the Brook-
lyn Institute, during a recent trip to Japan and China. Loans addi-
tional to those above mentioned were as follows: A collection of
Japanese brasses, bronzes, porcelains, and lacquers, from Mrs. Oliver
Ellsworth Wood; four panels and a robe of beautiful Chinese tex-
tiles of the Ming Dynasty, from Mr. Bailey Willis; three pieces of
antique Japanese draperies of couched work, from Miss Mabel
McCalmont, of Warren, Pennsylvania; and a choice lot of ethno-
logica from southeast Africa, from Mrs. R. L. Beard, of Washing-
ton. Mr. Frank Deedmeyer, American consul at Charlottetown,
Prince Edward: Island, contributed models of canoes, stone imple-
ments, an old Micmac grammar, and other literature in the Micmac
language; Dr. F. W. Goding, American consul at Montevideo,
Uruguay, presented specimens from New Zealand and South Africa;
and the Department of State transmitted a number of photographs
and maps from Formosa, obtained by Mr. Samuel C. Reat, Ameri-
can consul at Tamsui.

The reserve collections were mostly moved to the new building
during the early part of the year, and subsequently the work of re-
arranging them in the metal cases provided in the laboratories, store-
rooms, and corridors assigned to the division was steadily carried on.
For the first time in many years the facilities now permit of the
segregation of all objects of each kind or class. The opportunity
was utilized to give such objects as required it a thorough cleaning,
and good progress was made in the writing of the card catalogue.

The exhibition space allotted to the subject of ethnology, com-
prising the middle hall on the main floor, except the central part
occupied by the paintings of the National Gallery of Art, and the

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 21

two adjacent ranges, had nearly all been fitted up and opened to
the public by the close of the year. The arrangement was, however,
in great part only provisional, but its revision looking to a perma-
nent installation had been commenced, as described elsewhere.

The curator of the division, Dr. Walter Hough, prepared an illus-
trated catalogue of the Abyssinian collection lent by Mr. Hoffman
Philip and completed a paper on American censers and incense. He
also continued investigations on the collection of the Museum-Gates
expedition of 1905, on East Indian and Philippine weapons, on
apparatus connected with heating and illumination, and on Pueblo
Indian material. He was called upon to revise a manuscript “ Dic-
tionary of the Immigrant Races of Man,” prepared for the Com-
mittee on Immigration of the United States Senate; to aid in the
reprinting of the bulletin of the Pan American Union on Mexico,
and to instruct recently appointed consuls in anthropological subjects.

Prehistoric archeology.—Of first importance, probably, among the
accessions received by this division were the collections made by
Dr. AleS Hrdli¢ka, and in part by Mr. Bailey Willis, in Argentina,
and. by the former in Peru and Mexico. The expedition on which
they were obtained, conducted under the auspices of the Smith-
sonian Institution, was undertaken for the purpose of determining,
as far as possible, the exact nature and value of the evidence relating
to man’s antiquity in South America, and is referred to in greater
detail in connection with the division of physical anthropology.
The archeological collection from Argentina, numbering 1,533 ob-
jects, contains hammerstones, pitted anvil stones, mortars, pestles,
mullers, axes, projectile points, drills, and other implements, all of
exceptional interest as bearing upon the much-discussed question of
the age of man on the South American Continent. The Peruvian
material includes earthenware vessels, images and musical instru-
ments of varied and in part of novel forms, implements of wood,
implements and ornaments of copper, mummy wrappings, and other
textile articles obtained along with skeletal remains from burial
places in the Chicama Valley. The Mexican material comprises
stone implements, earthenware, and miscellaneous sculptures. A sec-
ond Peruvian collection, received as a gift from Mr. Otto Holstein,
of Lima, consists of 82 objects from Inca and pre-Inca graves and
dwelling sites near Chosica, and covers a wide range of ancient
handiwork.

During excavations made at sites in the Navaho National Monu-
ment and at the ancient Hopi pueblo of Wukoki at Black Falls, Little
Colorado River, Arizona,. Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, of the Bureau of
American Ethnology, obtained an important series of 595 specimens,
including earthenware ollas, bowls, cups, ladles, jars and pots, basket-
work trays and sandals, cords of yucca fiber, pot rests of corn husks

22 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

and cedar bark, sacred cigarettes or closed blowers (sections of corn
stalks and reeds), bags of woven cord containing bundles of feathers,
two wooden implements, a stone hatchet, fragments of woven fabrics,
pointed sticks of wood, a “feather box,” fire sticks, spindle whorls,
bone awls, shell beads and pendants, stone axes, hammers, mauls, and
disks. A collection of implements and other objects, numbering 131
specimens, from the ruined pueblo of Gyusiwa, New Mexico, was
secured through exchange with the School of American Archaeology
of the Archaeological Institute of America, at Santa Fe. It contains
pottery vessels and potsherds showing a great variety of painted geo-
metric and symbolic decorations, stone implements, bone scrapers,
chisels, awls, beads, shell ornaments, fragments of tubular pottery pipes,
and three ancient war clubs of wood. In the same exchange were also
118 specimens from an ancient pueblo near Rito de los Frijoles, New
Mexico, consisting of stone metates, mortars, hand-stones, grooved
hammers and axes, rubbing hammerstones, roughly chipped pointed
implements, arrowshaft straighteners, and discoidal stones. A collec-
tion of approximately 840 archeological specimens, mainly from Gene-
see County, Michigan, comprising all the objects which had been, de-
posited by Mr. Byron E. Dodge since 1891, was purchased. The
series includes polished stone implements, chipped blades, projectile
points, scrapers, drills, tablets, pipes, and objects of copper, and
among them are many fine examples, notably a stone hatchet with the
original handle, some curious forms of stone axes and hatchets, stone
clubs resembling northwest coast specimens, and a number of good
bannerstones and amulets. |
Also worthy of mention are 97 photographs of gold and terra-
cotta images, ornaments, utensils, etc., from Colombia, South America,
presented by Capt. H. R. Lemly, United States Army (retired), of
Washington; a collection of relics of wide range from Mexico, lent
by Mr. A. H. Blackiston, of Cumberland, Maryland; objects of primi-
tive manufacture from British East Africa, collected by the Smith-
sonian African Expedition, and a model of an elaborate stone portal
from an ancient building at Labna, Yucatan, contributed by the
American Antiquarian Society, of Worcester, Massachusetts.
During the year much attention was given to the sorting and
assembling of collections preparatory to exhibition and storage; and
the repair, restoration, and coloring of the great series of casts of
Mexican, Central and South American antiquities was carried well
toward completion. The work of public installation was in large
measure provisional, since it was necessary to utilize the old cases
until the new were received. Twelve of the new American cases
were used for material from Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Cali-
fornia, Ohio, and other States and Territories; and in new wall
cases collections from Argentina, Peru, Chiriqui, Costa Rica, Nica-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 23

ragua, Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras, and Mexico were arranged
somewhat tentatively. The installation of the large collection of
aboriginal American sculptures, involving a great amount of care
and labor, was practically finished.

Important observations were made by Dr. Ale’ Hrdli¢ka, curator
of physical anthropology, on the manner of occurrence of the large
collection of stone implements obtained by him in Argentina and
on his archeological collections from Peru and Mexico. They are
fully recorded in reports submitted and in part published before
the close of the year. A detailed study of the Argentine collection
was prepared by Mr. William H. Holmes, head curator of the de-
partment, and will be incorporated in an extended account of the
expedition which was practically completed at the close of the year.
Mr. Holmes also carried forward his work on the stone implements
of northern America, previously begun, which is to be published
as one of the handbooks of the Bureau of American Ethnology.

Historic archeology—aAn accession of considerable interest con-
sisted of rubbings of the Nestorian Tablet in China, a large stone
engraved, in the Chinese and Syrian languages, with the record of the
establishment of Christianity in China by the Nestorian Christians
in the seventh century. The rubbings are mounted on canvas and
provided with rollers, and were presented by the Rev. H. J. Open-
shaw, missionary in Yachow. A carving in Mexican onyx, represent-
ing Christ carrying the cross, supposed to have been made by a
soldier of the army of Hernando Cortez in 1524, was received as a
gift from Mr. Sydney H. Shadbolt, of New Brighton, New York.
Of some artistic value is a china plate decorated with the symbols of
the Jewish Feast of the Tabernacles, donated by the Mikve Israel
Association, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, through its president,
Miss Mary M. Cohen.

The installation of the sections of Egyptian, Oriental, and Greco-
Roman antiquities was completed. The Greco-Roman and Etruscan
potteries, terra-cottas, and bronzes, transferred from the division of
prehistoric archeology, were mostly catalogued and tentatively ar-
ranged in chronological order. Such specimens as could not be suit-
ably shown in the exhibition space assigned to this division were
placed in the study series. For the exhibition of the archeological
collections from the Old World, both historic and prehistoric, the
west middle hall on the second floor of the new building has been
assigned.

Physical anthropology.—tThe additions to this division greatly ex-
ceeded, both in number of specimens and in scientific value, those of
any previous year, and with this increase the collection of physical
anthropology in the National Museum has become supesior to all
others in American material, while it is second only to that of the

24 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle at Paris in world-wide material. The
principal accession consisted of skeletal material from South America,
including 3,400 crania and over 6,000 long and other bones, collected
by the curator of the division, Dr. Ale’ Hrdlicka, under the auspices
of the Smithsonian Institution. Of ancient skeletons and crania
from the northeastern pueblo region of New Mexico two important
collections were obtained. One was received in exchange from the
School of American Archaeology of the Archaeological Institute of
America; the other, resulting from joint explorations by the same
school and the Bureau of American Ethnology, was a transfer from
the bureau. A series of 76 ancient skulls and skeletons from Arkan-
sas and Mississippi, some of the crania showing a remarkable preser-
vation of the denture, were donated by Mr. Clarence B. Moore, of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Additional material secured through
exchange comprises some 2,000 long and other bones, identified as to
class, age, and nationality, and of fundamental value, from the ana-
tomical department of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, of New
York; five Kaflir skeletons from the Albany Museum, Grahamstown,
Cape Colony; a cast of the Gibraltar fossil human skull, from the
Royal College of Surgeons, London; and a cast of an Australian and
one of an African pigmy, from Prof. A. Thomson, of Oxford, Eng-
land. The division is also indebted to Dr. D. S. Lamb, of Washing-
ton, for a number of anatomical specimens.

The reclassification and rearrangement of the collections, made
necessary by their transfer to the new building, has been completed,
and all of the material is now in good condition as regards both
preservation and recording. A beginning was also made in preparing
and cataloguing the South American collections. An important step
in installation was the placing of six exhibition cases in one of the
rooms of the division for series of special anthropological and ana-
tomical value. While this work was not finished, it has already
attracted much attention from scientific men, and during convocation
week, at the end of December, it was visited by over 70 members of
the American Institute of Dental Pedagogics, which was then in ses-
sion in Washington. The selection of certain material which can
be placed to advantage among the public exhibits of the department
of anthropology was commenced.

The principal studies of the year related to the South American
explorations described below. They were completed and the results
submitted for publication. Some progress was also made on the
report of the anthropological researches at the Kharga Oasis, Egypt,
and in the subjects of brain weight and cranial capacity. Investiga-
tions were conducted in the division by Dr. A. B. Emmons, of Boston,
Massachusetts, who worked on the racial characteristics of the pelvis;
and by Prof. J. S. Foote, of Omaha, Nebraska, who studied the his-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 25

tology of the human and animal femora. Mr. F. E. Johnson, of
England, received instructions in anthropometry, preparatory to
proposed explorations in northern Africa.

On April 1, 1910, under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, Doctor Hrdlicka proceeded to South America for the purpose
of conducting investigations relative to the antiquity of man in Ar-
gentina. He was absent six months and during half that time was
accompanied by Mr. Bailey Willis as geologist. The trip also afforded
the opportunity for making observations in Brazil, Peru, Panama,
and Mexico. While his stay in Brazil was very short, it permitted
the examination of the more important human skeletal remains in
the Museu Nacional and the Instituto Historico e Geographico Bra-
zileiro at Rio de Janeiro. Two months were spent in Argentina in
studying the skeletal and archeological remains attributed to ancient
man contained in the museums, in visiting the most important locali-
ties where the remains of supposedly early man or his forerunners
have been discovered, and in making such further explorations and
collections as the time permitted. Field work was mainly limited
to the coastal region of the Province of Buenos Aires, although it
extended as far south as the Rio Negro. Subsequently Doctor
Hrdli¢ka touched in Chile and proceeded to Peru, where he visited
the important regions of Pachacamac and Gran Chimu, in each of
which he secured valuable skeletal collections. Thence he went to
Panama and later to Mexico, in both of which countries limited
explorations were made and collections obtained.

The results of the expedition were, in brief, the gathering at first
hand of a large amount of evidence on the subject of early man in
South America, particularly Argentina; a considerable extension of
knowledge regarding the anthropology of the coastal region of Peru,
with valuable data on the ancient occupants of Teotihuacan, Mexico;
and the collection of over 3,400 crania, several thousand individual
human bones, and many hundreds of archeological, zoological, and
other specimens.

Important facilities for exploration were furnished and valued
' aid and advice were given by a number of the scientific men and
others in the countries visited. For such courtesies the Museum has
been placed under obligations especially to Sr. D. Francisco P.
Moreno, member of the Argentine Chamber of Deputies; Dr. Flor-
entino Ameghino and Sr. Carlos Ameghino, of the Museo Nacional
de Historia Natural, at Buenos Aires; Dr. Santiago Roth, of the
Universidad Nacional de La Plata; Prof. J. B. Ambrosetti, of the
- Universidad Nacional de Buenos Aires; Sr. Dermidio Galindez, vice
governor of the Province of Patagonia; Dr. Max Uhle, director of
the Museo de Historia Nacional, Lima, Peru; and Sr. Victor Larco y
Herrera, of Trujillo, Peru.

26 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

Technology—aA. gasoline automobile presented by the inventor,
Mr. Elwood Haynes, of Kokomo, Indiana, by whom it was built in
1893-94, constituted one of the most interesting accessions of the
year. On a trial trip made July 4, 1894, being then equipped with
a one-horsepower motor and carrying two persons, this machine ran
about 5 miles at a rate of 6 to 7 miles an hour; but with the substitu-
tion of a two-horsepower motor and other modifications, its speed
was increased to 12 miles an hour. An important donation-of guns,
pistols, and swords from Mrs. James William Reilly, of Washington,
includes a Hall breech-loading rifle of 1837, a Merrill breech-loading
rifle with Harpers Ferry lock of 1848, a Robbins and Lawrence rifle
made at Windsor, Vermont, in 1850, a Gibbs breech-loading carbine
of 1856, a Joslyn breech-loading carbine of 1861, a Springfield breech-
loading carbine, model of 1873, two flintlock pistols, a pair of very
fine percussion-cap pistols bearing English proof marks and in-
scribed “ John Mullin, New York,” and a military sword of the
period of the War of 1812. Mrs. Reilly also presented an antique
thumb ring, said to have been made in Poland several generations
ago, and a rare, finely finished and embellished English verge watch
marked “ John Cooper, Swanzey.” An Edison chemical meter, the
gift of the Easton Gas and Electric Company, Easton, Pa., is a type
of instrument that was generally employed for measuring electric
light currents before the introduction of electro-mechanical meters, .
which came into use about 1880. A model of a polar sundial with
perpendicular gnomon, devised and made by the donor, Mr. Claude L.
Woolley, of Baltimore, is an important addition to the series of
sundials already contributed by Mr. Woolley. Seven examples of
Springfield, Hotchkiss, and Lee military rifles, types of the arms
used in the United States Navy from 1870 to 1905, were deposited
by the Navy Department.

Among other gifts were specimens of materials and pieces of
apparatus used by Thomas A. Edison in his early experiments with
the electric light, from Mrs. George F. Barker, of Philadelphia, Penn-
sylvania; a French fencing foil and a light, pliable Toledo blade
made to show the extreme flexibility of the steel manufactured at
the famous Toledo factories, from Mrs. A. L. Barber, of Washington;
a rare foreign horse-pistol, with quill percussion lock, from Mr.
Jacob Steiner, of Brooklyn, New York; a Chinese sundial, with
string gnomon, from Dr. C. H. Barlow, of Huchow, China; six
sections of typical modern rails, manufactured by the Maryland
Steel Company for use on steam railroads, from Mr. G. P. Raida-
baugh, of Sparrow Point, Maryland; the original British patent,
No. 725, granted to Edward Maynard for improvements in breech-
loading firearms, March 22, 1859, to which is attached the official
seal used at that time and weighing 253 ounces, from Mr. George

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 27

Willoughby Maynard, of New York; models of a schooner yacht
and a sloop yacht, representing types of United States vessels intro-
duced about 1875 and used on the Atlantic coast, from Mr. Edward
Pearce Casey, of New York; and an English watch movement
embodying some unique and interesting devices in construction,
from Mr. W. E. Emory, of Washington. Ten modern sporting guns
used by the naturalists on the Smithsonian African Expedition were
deposited by the Smithsonian Institution. .

A provisional extension of the exhibition space into the west hall
and two ranges permitted the installation during the year of much
additional material withdrawn from storage. Several of the more
important exhibits were improved in their arrangement, and advan-
tageous changes were made in the installation of the many models
received from the United States Patent Office. The bicycles and
tricycles, of which there is an interesting series, were cleaned and
prepared for exhibition.

The exhibits of the division were the subject of study and of
graphic representation by many individuals, including journalists,
publishers, model makers, mural decorators, and representatives of
other museums and institutions. Photographs were furnished to a
number of applicants, and information relative to the collections
and to technical matters was freely given. The models of inventions
were utilized by the Patent Office, and were inspected by patent
attorneys and others interested in questions of litigation. Several
visits were made by the assistant curator in charge of the division,
Mr. George C. Maynard, to New York and other places for the
purpose of studying collections and of examining material required
by or offered to the Museum.

Ceramics——There were few additions in ceramics, the principal
ones being as follows: An important collection of ancient Korean
pottery, assembled and fully catalogued by the late Gustavus Gow-
ard, of the United States Consular Service, was deposited by his
heirs, through the executrix, Miss Jennie Lawson, of Washington.
It consists of 89 pieces, mostly of porcelaneous stoneware with soft,
ereenish glazes, dating mainly from about the fifteenth century,
though a number of the pieces belong to a much earlier period. A
Japanese vase, 31 inches high and 22 inches in diameter, presented
by General Julius Stahel, of New York, through Mr. Simon Wolf,
of Washington, is regarded as an exceptionally fine example of
Sumida ware. It is decorated with wistaria blooms in high relief
and with colored glazes, and is about 200 years old. A series of 29
American tiles from the Mosaic Tile Company, of Zanesville, Ohio,
was donated by Mrs. Charles W. Richardson, of Washington, and a
vase of Brower ware was lent by Mrs. Julian James, of Washington.

28 _ REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

While little work was done in connection with the collection of
ceramics, and with the objects of glass and metal work installed with
it in the same gallery, the material has been maintained in good
condition, and the exhibition arrangement, while provisional, is satis-
factory for the present.

Graphic arts—The quarters occupied both for the storage and ex-
hibition of the processes and results of engraving have for several
years been so overcrowded that no special efforts have recently been
made to add to the collection. The material on hand has been con-
stantly looked after and is in satisfactory condition, but with the
small space allotted to it it has been impossible to keep the exhibition
series in touch with the times. Shortly before the close of the year,
however, additional room was set aside for overhauling the collec-
tion and for revising and increasing the public display. It is ex-
pected that considerable progress will soon be made in these direc-
tions, and substantial help has been promised by printing and engrav-
ing establishments.

Among the accessions of the year were a series of engravings lent
by Mrs. Emma K. Hanvey, of Washington; an artist’s proof etching
of Doré’s “ Neophyte,” deposited by Mrs. E. P. Wood, of Washing-
ton; an example of brush line work and a photo-engraved reproduc-
tion of it, representing “ Head of Lion,” after Rosa Bonheur, pre-
sented by Mr. W. Frank Clark, of Washington; and 35 prints of
vignettes, from bank-note dies engraved by Frederick Girsch, 1849 to
1894, donated by Mr. Charles W. Girsch, of Mount Vernon, New York.

Preparations were begun for placing on exhibition the exceedingly
valuable collection illustrating the history of photography in all its
branches which has been assembled under the supervision of the
custodian of the section of photography, Mr. Thomas W. Smillie.
This work has involved most earnest and painstaking effort on the
part of Mr. Smillie during a long term of years, and the collection
has no equal elsewhere for completeness and rarity of objects. It
will be found to be, on the completion of its installation, one of the
most interesting and instructive exhibits in the Museum. Among
the additions of the year were a number of fine ambrotypes and
daguerreotypes, some of which were purchased, while others were
presented by the Misses Long, of Washington, and Mr. John H.
Clark, of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Musical instruments——The valuable collection of musical instru-
ments is also one of those which long ago outgrew its original allot-
ment of exhibition space, but it will soon be given the facilities for an
appropriate presentation. The collection has been for many years in
the direct charge of Mr. E. H. Hawley, who has not only looked after
the preservation of the material, which is in excellent condition, but
has also paid much attention to the subject of a scientific classifica-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 29

tion of musical instruments and has brought together a large amount
of information regarding the instruments in this and other collec-
tions. Six wind and string instruments peculiar to Catalonia, Spain,
and more distinctly antique than other European instruments of cor-
responding varieties, were purchased ; and a Bohm flute, a concert in-
strument of rosewood, silver tipped and banded, made by A. G.
Badger, of New York, was presented by Mr. Robert E. Seel, of Wash-
ington. The latter is a good example of a type not previously repre-
sented in the Museum.

Medicine——¥ounded to illustrate on broad lines the theories and
methods for the relief of sickness and injuries as held and practiced
by man from earliest historic times to the present, the plan of this
division contemplates an extensive and comprehensive collection
which shall be both interesting and instructive. In some directions a
considerable amount of material has been brought together, and the
exhibition series is well installed and labeled. There is still a vast
amount of work to be done in order to even approximately cover the
entire field, but the subject is of sufficient importance to warrant re-
newed efforts toward building up the division and increasing its use-
fulness. Except for brief intervals, the charge of the division has de-
volved on Dr. James M. Flint, United States Navy, who started the
collection and to whose zealous services, voluntarily contributed, its
development and status as a museum feature is mainly due. There
is a complete descriptive card catalogue of the collection. Among the
accessions of the year were the results of the chemical tests made by
the late Prof.. George F. Barker in the Sherman poisoning case of
1872, contributed by Mrs. Barker; and a series of Chinese books treat-
ing of the various things used as medicines by the Chinese, presented
by Prof. N. Gist Gee, of Soochow University.

History—tThis division received both as permanent acquisitions
and as deposits many objects of exceptional value and importance.
Of special interest was a loan from Rear Admiral Robert Edwin
Peary, United States Navy (retired), consisting of 16 gold and 2
silver medals which had been conferred upon him by various geo-
graphical societies in recognition of his services to science in arctic
explorations, notable among them being the great gold medals of
the National Geographic Society of Washington and the Royal
Geographical Society of London; two of the flags carried by the
explorer to the North Pole in 1909, namely, the Peace Flag of the
Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the flag
of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, of which Admiral Peary
is a member; two maps illustrating the routes traversed by various
arctic explorers from 1800 to 1909; a silver replica of a model of
the type of sailing vessel used by Henry Hudson, John Davis, and
William Baffin in their search for the Northwest Passage during

the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, presented to him by the
Royal Scottish Geographical Society in 1910; and three silver lov-
ing cups presented by the cities of Bangor, Portland and South
Portland, Maine, and the Delta Kappa Epsilon Association of New
York City. The flag of the Navy League of New York City, which
was also displayed at the North Pole by Admiral Peary, was de-
posited by the Admiral Trenchard Section 73 of the League, through
Mr. Edward EK. Trenchard, of Babylon, New York, and has been
installed in connection with the Peary objects.

A valuable collection of memorials of the Salter and Codwise
families of Colonial and Revolutionary New York and New Jersey,
lent by Miss Louise Salter Codwise, of Kingston, New York, in-
cludes three miniatures on ivory in gold frames, two of ee are
set with precious stones, the portraits being Manasseh Salter,
Harriette Matilda Spencer Salter, and Elisha Rogers Codwise; an
ivory fan, a gold watch and key, a gold locket, necklace, bracelet
and earrings of pearls, two pearl stick pins, a sampler, two hand-
kerchiefs and case of silk, and articles of the toilet; and also five
pieces of rare old lace, 18 foreign coins and a pack of Torot cards.
To her already large loan collection of memorials of the Bailey-
Myers-Mason family, important additions were made by Mrs. Julian
James, of Washington, comprising two green Bohemian cut-glass
toilet pitchers, two shell back-combs, a cap of silk and lace, a silver
fork and three silver spoons; four gold medals conferred on Lieut.
Commander Theodorus Bailey Mason Myers, United States Navy,
and a gold riding whip, meerschaum pipe, and six: naval buttons
that had belonged to him; a photograph of the commission of Hugh
C. Mason as captain of militia in the Colony of Massachusetts, 1655,
and six daguerreotypes of Wee of the Bailey- Mgers Mace
family.

The Gustavus Vasa Fox sauce was increased by a series of
autographed photographs of Russian nobles of the court of Alex-
ander IT, presented to Mr. Fox in 1866, many manuscripts relating
to the Fox mission to Russia, a number of Russian books and pam-
phlets, two bronze medals and two fragments of historic rocks.
A service sword, with scabbard and belt, used during the Spanish-
American War by Capt. (afterwards Rear Admiral) John W. Philip,
United States Navy, and a pair of field glasses found by Captain
Philip on board the Spanish battleship M/aria Theresa after the en-
gagement off Santiago in 1898, were deposited by Mr. Barrett
Philip, of Washington. Mrs. Emma K. Hanvey, of Washington,
lent 14 examples of old German glass painted in colored enamels
with coats of arms, dates and historic names, and also two minia-
tures, a silver ornament in the form of a coach, a silver snuffbox,

13 crucifix spoons, 5 apostle spoons, 2 cable and ship spoons, and a
Louis Philippe cup and saucer.

An inhaler of the type used by Dr. William T. G. Morton in the
first operation he performed with the aid of ether as an anesthetic
in 1846 was presented by Dr. Gustave P. Wiksell, of Boston; and two
busts of Doctor Morton, one in bronze by Helen F. Mears, the other
in plaster from a mask made by Clark Mills, were received as a gift
from his son, Dr. William J. Morton, of New York.

Eleven pieces of furniture which once belonged to Brig. Gen.
Rufus Putnam and had been donated to the Museum by his great-
grandson, the late Judge E. M. P. Brister, of Newark, Ohio, were
received from Mrs. Brister. An interesting collection of relics, con-
sisting mainly of examples of the handiwork of the Schenck family
of New Jersey for three generations, and including wearing apparel,
textiles, toilet articles, etc., was presented by Dr. Clara Southmayd
Ludlow, of Washington: It i is to be known as “ The ol eae Fines
Hunt Mineral Collection.”

The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America added
to its collection deposited in the Museum an antique sword with
silver handle carried in the War of the Revolution by Col. John
Cropper, of Virginia, a number of colonial relics of the Cropper
family, and other objects dating from colonial times. A gold medal
awarded to Capt. John Cropper by the British Government in 1840
was lent by Mrs. John Cropper, of Washington.

The plaster model of the statue of Rear Admiral Andrew H. Foote,
by Mr. Wiliam Couper, of New York, from which the bronze statue
for the Vicksburg National Military Park was cast, was deposited
in the Museum by the War Department.

An interesting series of articles of nickel produced by the late
Joseph Wharton, of Philadelphia, who was recognized as the leader
in the technology of this metal, was received as a donation from the
executors of his estate. This collection, which had been preserved
by Mr. Wharton in a cabinet at his home, comprises over 60 pieces,
including pure nickel in several forms, harness and door trimmings,
household utensils, forceps, magnetic needles, coinage blanks, etc.,
and is of much historical value.

Numerous additions were made to the collections of coins, medals,
and stamps, and to the series of portraits of scientific men and other
persons of note.

The exhibition space for the division of history was increased
during the year by the assignment to this subject of the west-north
range in the old Museum building. In this hall have been arranged
the collection of Washington relics, many miscellaneous objects
belonging to the period of the American Revolution and the first
quarter of the nineteenth century, the Gustavus Vasa Fox collection,

32 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

a part of the Cromwell stamp collection, and numerous historical
documents and paintings. Many changes and improvements were
made in the installations in the north hall, and additional cases were
ordered and partly finished to relieve the congested condition of some
of the exhibits.

Much progress was made in cataloguing and in preparing lists of
the extensive collections which are not on exhibition. The collection
of portraits, of which there are about 15,000, was gone over for the
purpose of perfecting the arrangement and labeling, and about 300
new portraits were added. The entire study series of the division
is in fair condition, and the work of placing it in thorough syste-
matic order is proceeding rapidly. When these plans have been
carried out it is expected that all the articles in storage will be
as accessible for study and reference as are those in the exhibition
eases. The assistant curator of history, Mr. T. T. Belote, has in
preparation a descriptive catalogue of the Washington relics pre-
served in the Museum.

Anthropological laboratory.—The work of making and coloring
casts, constructing lay figures, and cleaning, poisoning, restoring,
and mounting specimens has been in charge of Mr. H. W. Hendley.
The largest undertaking of the year was connected with the recon-
struction, painting, and installation of the entire series of plaster
casts of the department, moved from the old building. Other
important work consisted in the rebuilding of the model of the
Tower of Babel, and of the lay figure group representing the Virginia
Indians trading with John Smith, the former on a reduced scale,
and the casting of numerous stone implements.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY.

Mammals.—Through the generosity of Mrs. Edward H. Harriman,
of New York, by whom it was purchased and presented to the Insti-
tution, the Museum has acquired the notable collection of North
American mammals assembled by Dr. C. Hart Merriam before his
connection with the Government service. It comprises about 5,800
skins, 6,000 skulls, of which 235 are of seals, and 100 complete skele-
tons, and contains about 80 type specimens. Among the receipts of
the early part of the year were the last two shipments made by the
Smithsonian African Expedition, under the direction of Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, including most of the mammals from Uganda, and
about 425 small mammals obtained in Java by Mr. Owen Bryant and
Mr. William Palmer. One hundred and five mammals collected for
the Museum in Shan-si, China, were received from Mr. Arthur de C.
Sowerby. Mr. John J. White, of Washington, presented 27 speci-
mens from British East Africa, including an example of the rare
antelope Damaliscus phalius, and Mr. Hoffman Philip donated six —

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 33

specimens from Abyssinia, one of which has been made the type of a
new species, M/ellivora abyssinica, recently described by Mr. N.
Hollister. .

The exceptional number of specimens received in the rough state
during the past two years has severely taxed the resources of the
division in providing for their final preparation. Of the large and
medium sized skins over 300 were tanned, in order to preserve them
in a soft and pliable condition; more than 3,000 skulls of all sizes
were cleaned, and good progress was made in cleaning the large
skeletons from the African expedition.

The entire collection of mammal skins is now, for the first time
since it outgrew its quarters in the older Museum building 25 years
ago, completely and satisfactorily installed, being systematically
arranged in the capacious laboratory of the division, which occupies
the entire ground floor of the northwest range in the new building.
The collection of skulls has also been thoroughly revised and rear-
ranged, and with the exception of the ungulates and pinnipeds was
systematically placed in standard cases, but a proper disposition of
the skeletons and alcoholic specimens awaits the completion of the
necessary accommodations for their storage. The work of supplying
uniform typewritten labels for all the skins and skulls was actively
taken up about the middle of the year.

Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, jr., curator, and Mr. N. Hollister, assistant
curator, of the division, prepared several short papers descriptive of
Museum material which are noted in the bibliography. Mr. Hollis-
ter also completed his monograph of the genus Fiber, on which he
has been engaged for some time, and Mr. Edmund Heller continued
his investigations on the mammals collected by the Smithsonian
African Expedition. Dr. M. W. Lyon, jr., of Howard University,
finished his report on the mammals from Borneo, collected and pre-
sented by Dr. W. L. Abbott, and has made good progress on a mono-
graph of the tree-shrews, a peculiar group of Malayan mammals
especially well represented in the contributions from Doctor Abbott. -
Members of the staff of the Biological Survey of the Department of
Agriculture and Dr. C. Hart Merriam have, as usual, made constant
use of the collections, and visits were paid to the Museum for the
purpose of examining specimens by Mr. Roy C. Andrews, of the
American Museum of Natural History, Dr. Glover M. Allen, of the
Museum of Comparative Zoology, and Mr. W. H. Osgood, of the
Field Museum of Natural History. Thirteen lots of specimens were
lent for study to institutions and specialists both in this country
and abroad.

Birds.—The final accession of birds from the Smithsonian African
Expedition comprised 1,379 dried skins and 213 alcoholic specimens,
skeletons, and eggs, and supphed many desiderata, of which the

most important is the shoe-bill heron, Balwniceps rex, a form not
hitherto represented in any American museum. It also contained
other genera new to the collection, including Anastomus, Dicrocercus,
Macrodipteryx, Scotornis, Cryptorhina, Sorella, and E'lminia, and
numerous species and subspecies which are now first obtained from
this source. Ninety skins of Chinese birds were received from the
Museum of Comparative Zoology in exchange, and 83 skins from
Luzon, Philippine Islands, were presented by Dr. H. C. Curl, United
States Navy. The last consignment from the Java expedition of
Mr. Owen Bryant, consisting of skins, nests, and eggs, contained
several examples of the interesting, Weaver birds (Ploceide). Skins
of North and Central American species to the number of 1,240, among
which are many well-prepared specimens of water birds and waders,
were obtained from Mr. Edward J. Brown, of Washington, partly
by gift and partly by purchase. In the course of a hunting trip to
the coast of South Carolina near Charleston, lasting five weeks, Dr.
KE. A. Mearns, United States Army, Mr. J. H. Riley, and Mr. E. J.
Brown made for the Museum an interesting collection consisting of
607 skins, 52 eggs, and 2 nests, and including topotypes of numerous
species originally described from the drawings of Mark Catesby.
Several important forms new to the Museum and desired for the
exhibition series were purchased. Among them are 2 birds of
paradise, Astrapia rothschildi and Parotia carole, a hornbill, Rhy-
ticeros narcondami, and a jay, Lalocitta lidthi, and specimens of
Globicera wilkesi, Globicera aurore, and other species from
Polynesia.

The reserve collection of bird skins and eggs occupies 420 large
standard cases. The rearrangement of the skins, which had become
exceedingly crowded in their quarters in the Smithsonian building,
was completed for 96 cases, 52 of which were also furnished with
ease labels. Labels indicating the contents of each drawer were
prepared for the North American eggs, and a beginning was made
in assembling the data for those required for the skins. Specimen |
labels were written for about 2,700 skins. Some 3,500 mounted
specimens withdrawn from exhibition several years ago were
examined, and those considered desirable to return to the reserve
series were set aside for dismounting About 30 types reclaimed
from the general collection were suitably labeled and placed in the
type cases. The alcoholic specimens, now stored on the ground floor
in the same compartment as the reptiles, were extensively renovated
and rearranged, and much was done toward completing their labeling
and recording. The collection of skeletons, skulls, and sterna remains
to be overhauled. The card catalogue serving as an index to the
alcoholic specimens and skeletons-has, to a large extent, been verified
and the nomenclature revised.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 35

The curator of the division, Mr. Robert Ridgway, completed the
manuscript of part 5 of Museum Bulletin 50, entitled “ The Birds of
North and Middle America,” and by the close of the year the print-
ing of this volume was well advanced. He also made considerable
progress in the arrangement of data for part 6 of the same work.
Dr. E. A. Mearns continued the preparation of his report on the
birds collected by the Smithsonian African Expedition, and Mr.
William Palmer devoted some time to working up the birds obtained
in Java by Mr. Owen Bryant and himself. Mr. A. C. Bent, of
Taunton, Massachusetts, who, at his own expense, is proceeding with
the work on the “ Life Histories of North American Birds,” begun
by Major Bendire and continued by Doctor Ralph, examined mate-
rial at the Museum and made one or more field trips during the year.

The collections of the division were consulted by members of the
staff of the Biological Survey and by many ornithologists from differ-
ent parts of the country and from abroad. Among the latter may be
mentioned Mr. W. E. Clyde Todd, of the Carnegie Museum; Mr.
Witmer Stone, curator of the Academy of Natural Sciences of
Philadelphia; Mr. Frank M. Chapman and Mr. W. de W. Miller,
of the American Museum of Natural History; Dr. Glover M. Allen
and Mr. William Brewster, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology ;
Mr. Charles B. Cory and Mr. W. H. Osgood, of the Field Museum of
Natural History; Mr. B. H. Swales, of Grosse Ile, Michigan; Dr.
L. C. Sanford, of New Haven, Connecticut; Mr. Abbott H. Thayer,
of Monadnock, New Hampshire; Dr. R. W. Shufeldt, and Rear
Admiral R. E. Peary, United States Navy, of Washington; Hon.
Dean C. Worcester, secretary of the interior of the Philippine
Islands; Mr. Anastasio Alfaro, director of the Museo Nacional, San
José, Costa Rica; and Mr. J. H. Fleming, of Toronto, Canada.

Reptiles and batrachians.——The acquisitions by this division were
especially important and supplied many species new to science as
well as many others new to the collection. The largest accession,
received by transfer from the Biological Survey of the Department
of Agriculture, comprised 3,707 specimens from various localities in
the United States and Mexico, and furnished the second specimen of
Ascaphus truet. The working up of the Mexican material is expected
to add very extensively to our knowledge of the herpetology of that
country. The Javan collection made by Mr. Bryant and Mr. Palmer
and determined by Mr. Thomas Barbour, of the Museum of Com-
parative Zoology, added a large number of specimens and the type
of a new species of snake. From the Smithsonian African Expedi-
tion 399 additional specimens were received, making the total number
of reptiles and batrachians obtained from that source 2,223. The
Bureau of Fisheries transmitted 330 specimens collected partly in
different sections of the United States and partly during the cruise

36 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

of the steamer Albatross to the Philippine Islands, the material from
this expedition containing many species new to the Museum from
Celebes, Amboina, etc. The Hon. J. D. Mitchell, of Victoria, Texas,
presented a well-preserved and well-labeled series of 187 specimens
from Texas, the result of many years’ collecting; and Mr. H. Sauter,
of Anping, Formosa, 72 batrachians from the southern part of that
island. A single specimen of a small lizard with degenerate legs,
received as a gift from Mr. A. G. Reynolds, of Veteran, Florida,
proved to be one of the most remarkable recent discoveries in North
American herpetology, as its relationship seems to be with species
inhabiting the eastern Mediterranean and Persian regions of the
Old World. It was described during the year by the curator as
Neoseps reynoldsi. Mr. Allan H. Jennings, of Ancon, Canal Zone,
contributed the unique type of a remarkable new tree toad from
Panama, and Mr. C. H. T. Townsend, of Piura, Peru, the type of a
new Amphisbeenoid lizard. Mr. A. Alfaro, of San José, Costa Rica,
presented five specimens representing three species, two of which
were undescribed.

The entire collection of the division was transferred to the new
building early in the year, and the rearrangement and installation
of the North American reserve series of both reptiles.and batrachians
were practically completed by the end of the year. In this work was
included the card-cataloguing of the North American specimens, each
jar being represented by two cards, one for the systematic, the other
for the geographic record. The types have been segregated and
nearly all are card-catalogued, full reference to the original descrip-
tion and illustration of the species being recorded on the cards. A
separate card index to this series has also been made.

While the curator, Dr. Leonhard Stejneger, prepared a number
of descriptions of new species, routine work in connection with the
moving, and the verification of the old records and identifications,
which in many cases involved considerable research, occupied essen-
tially all of his time. Mr. Thomas Barbour visited the division on
several occasions for the purpose of examining material in connection
with his studies of the herpetology of the Malay Archipelago.

Fishes.—There were received as transfers from the United States
Bureau of Fisheries 2,911 specimens of fishes from North Carolina,
Virginia, the lower Potomac River, and Indiana; and 64 specimens,
chiefly of lake herring, including types of several new species, col-.
lected in the Great Lakes by the International Fisheries Commis-
sion. The last shipments from the Smithsonian African Expedi-
tion contained a valuable series of fishes from the River Nile. A
collection from Wisconsin was presented by Mr. N. Hollister, of
the Museum staff, and another from Bemus Point, New York, was
contributed by the New York Forest, Fish, and Game Commission.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. ot

_ A finely preserved specimen, with young, of the torpedo ray (Nar-
cine) was received as a gift from Mr. A. G. Reynolds, of Veteran,
Florida.

The very extensive collections of this division, almost exclusively
alcoholic, were moved to the new building during July and August,
1910, and by the end of the year they had been tentatively arranged
on the shelves of the alcoholic storage room, in accordance with the
classification of the families of fishes proposed by Dr. Theodore
Gill, somewhat modified by himself, 324 families being recognized.
The number of specimens incorporated in the collections during the
year was about 15,000, exclusive of material from the Smithsonian
biological survey of the Panama Canal Zone, which had not been
accessioned. With much left over to be done in connection with
the exceptionally large receipts of the previous year, the past year
has been one of the busiest in the history of the division. Four
thousand entries, covering 25,000 specimens, were added to the reg-
ister, thousands of cards were prepared for the systematic catalogue,
and thousands of labels for the jars and bottles.

Investigations by the assistant curator, Mr. B. A. Bean, and the
aid, Mr. A. C. Weed, have related to the fish fauna of the District
of Columbia, the Bryant collection of fishes from Java, and the
lesser star-gazers, Dactyloscopide. A number of small collections
and much other material received during the year were identified.
The collections have been consulted by Dr. Theodore Gill, of the
Smithsonian Institution, and by Dr. W. C. Kendall and Mr. Lewis
Radcliffe, of the Bureau of Fisheries. For the working up of the
extensive collection of fishes made in the region of the Philippine
Islands by the steamer Albatross of this bureau, laboratory quarters
have been provided in one of. the Museum buildings. Visits were
made to the Museum by Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, of the University
of Colorado, and Prof. E. C. Starks, of Stanford University, the
former for the purpose of studying some forms of cyprinoid fishes,
the latter to examine certain sharks and other fishes.

Insects—The Bureau of Entomology of the Department of Agri-
culture was, as usual, the principal contributor to this division. Mr.
S. A. Rohwer, of that bureau, also generously presented his private
collection of hymenoptera (exclusive of the sawflies which he had
given the previous year), comprising about 800 specimens, repre-
senting about 500 species, and containing 121 types and paratypes of
Vespoidea and Sphecoidea, and the types of 3 parasitic hymenoptera.
Mr. P. R. Myers, aid in the division of insects, likewise donated his
private collection of hymenoptera, consisting of about 3,400 speci-
mens. From Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell several small lots of specimens,
including 5 types and 7 cotypes of new species, were received as a
gift. Mr. F. Du Cane Godman, of London, presented, through Mr.

38 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

G. C. Champion, about 220 calandrids and cossonids from Central
America.

The general work on the collection of insects, which had been
moved to the new building the year previous, consisted mainly in the
transfer of specimens to drawers and cases of the standard equip-
ment. This work was completed for the lepidoptera, and the cards
for the index required to locate material in this order were mostly
written. Considerable progress was also made in the corresponding
reinstallation of the hymenoptera, hemiptera, and coleoptera.

The only investigations conducted by members of the staff consisted
of certain detached studies indicated by the published papers cited
in the bibliography. Dr. Arthur Neiva, of the Instituto Oswaldo
Cruz, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, continued in researches on mosquitoes.
Among other entomologists who consulted the collections were Dr. E.
Bergroth, of Fitchburg, Massachusetts; Prof. E. 8S. G. Titus, of
Logan, Utah; Mr. J. R. de la Torre Bueno, of White Plains, New
York; Mr. William Beutenmiiller, of the American Museum of
Natural History; Mr. John D. Sherman, jr., of Brooklyn, New York;
Mr. William T. Davis, of New Brighton, New York; Mr. A. B.
Gahan, of College Park, Maryland; Mr. A. A. Girault, of Urbana,
Illinois; and Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell.

Mollusks.—The principal accession of the year consisted of the col-
lection made in Alaska by Dr. William H. Dall while in the field for
the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey and later for the
United States Geological Survey, between 1871 and 1899. Compris-
ing about 15,000 lots and 50,000 specimens of shells, both dry and
alcoholic, it is undoubtedly the largest collection of the mollusks of
moderate depths of water ever assembled from that region, and,
although it has been in the custody of the Museum for some years, it
had never been officially transferred. Doctor Dall hopes to make it,
together with the collections of the Bureau of Fisheries steamer
Albatross from deep water in the same region, the basis of a com-
prehensive report on the marine mollusk fauna of Alaska and the
adjacent parts of the northwest coast of America. The second
accession in point of size and importance was received from the
Imperial University of Tokyo, through Prof. E. S. Morse, of Salem,
Massachusetts, on condition that a named series be sent to the uni-
versity. The part to be retained by the Museum will, it is estimated,
comprise about 12,000 specimens. The shells are nearly all shore or
shallow water species, many of which have not been represented in the
Museum’s series from Japan, and will admirably supplement the col-
lection made in deeper water by the Albatross during its visit to the
Japanese coast. A very interesting series of fresh-water shells from
the upper waters of the Nile was contained in the final shipment
from the Smithsonian African Expedition.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, i911. 39

In connection with explorations about the Coronado group of
islands belonging to Lower California, Dr. Fred. Baker and Miss
J. M. Cooke, of San Diego, California, collected a quantity of shells,
chiefly minute forms, which were sent to the Museum for determina-
tion. A selection from this material donated to the Museum con-
tains the types of a number of new species and of one new genus of
bivalves, Bernardina. Mr. Charles R. Orcutt, also of San Diego,
presented many shells obtained by him in various parts of Mexico,
including types of several new species and a number of desiderata.
Through Dr. John Macoun the undetermined shells from last
season’s collecting by the Geological Survey of Canada were sent
to Washington to be named and divided between the Survey and the
Museum. Mr. Arthur Haycock, of Bailey Bay, the Bermudas, con-
tributed a series of shells secured during explorations about those
islands, in return for assistance in working up his material. From
Dr. T. W. Stanton, of the United States Geological Survey, there
was received an interesting lot of shore shells from northern Alaska,
and from Dr. R. H. Tremper, of Ontario, California, a beautifully
prepared series of desiderata from his fine collection of west coast
shells. A notable specimen of Haliotis cracherodii, in that it had
never developed any branchial orifices though otherwise apparently
normal, was obtained by purchase at Venice, California.

The progress made in labeling, recording, and administering on the
collection was much greater than in any previous year in the history
of the division. For addition to the reserve series 9,019 separate
lots comprising some 27,000 specimens were labeled and registered,
and about 25,000 labels were prepared for the collection recently
made at the Philippine Islands by the steamer Albatross. The in-
corporation of this new material in the systematically arranged col-
lection was only partly accomplished during the year.

The researches with which the curator of the division, Dr. Wil-
liam H. Dall, was chiefly occupied related to his monograph of the
marine mollusks of northwestern America, already mentioned. This,
in connection with work on the Pleistocene and Tertiary faunas for
the Geological Survey, is making slow but constant progress. A
number of papers on minor investigations by Doctor Dall were pub-
lished. During such time as could be spared from the general work,
the assistant curator, Dr. Paul Bartsch, continued his studies on the
Turton collection of marine mollusks from Africa. The collections
of the division were utilized by a number of persons. Dr. T. Way-
land Vaughan, of the Geological Survey, continued his investigations
on the fauna of the coastal plain of the southeastern United States,
and Mr. G. Dallas Hanna, of the same survey, his work on the land
and fresh-water mollusks of Kansas. Miss Julia Gardner examined
Tertiary fossils in connection with her work for the Geological Sur-

40 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

vey of Maryland, and Miss Mary Breen; collaborator of the division,
conducted researches on the mollusks of the District of Columbia.
Among others who visited the division for the purpose of examining
specimens and making comparisons were the Hon. T. H. Aldrich, of
Birmingham, Alabama; Dr. H. A. Pilsbry, of the Academy of Nat-
ural Sciences of Philadelphia; Mr. Bryant Walker, of Detroit,
Michigan; Prof. G. D. Harris and Miss Carlotta Maury, of Cornell
University; and Mr. Anastasio Alfaro, of the Museo Nacional of
Costa Rica.

Marine invertebrates —The most important additions to this divi-
sion were received from the Bureau of Fisheries as transfers. Four
of these consisted of collections obtained during explorations by the
steamer Albatross, which had been worked up and made the subject
of official reports, as follows: Over 200 specimens of isopod crusta-
ceans, representing 67 species and including types of 3 new genera
and 88 new species, from the Philippine Islands, 1907-1910, deter-
mined by Dr. Harriet Richardson; about 150 specimens of medusa,
representing 26 species and including the types of 4 new species,
from the same region, determined by Dr. Alfred G. Mayer; over 300
packages of hydroids, containing 99 species and including types and
cotypes of 5 species, from the northwestern Pacific Ocean, deter-
mined by Prof. C. C. Nutting; and over 800 specimens representing
42 species of siphonophores from the eastern Pacific Ocean, 1904 and
1905, determined by Dr. Henry B. Bigelow. The Indian Museum at
Calcutta, India, sent in exchange 165 specimens of decapod crusta-
ceans, representing 102 species, nearly all of which are new to this
Museum, and also 14 species of Indian and European bryozoans.
From the Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France, there were
received as gifts two collections of isopod crustaceans, one obtained
by the Charcot expedition to the Antarctic Ocean, the other from the
explorations of the French steamers 7ravailleur and Talisman in
1880 to 1883, both worked up and described by Dr. Harriet Rich-
ardson. Collections of shrimps and crinoids were also obtained from
the same museum in exchange. The Zoological Museum at Copen-
hagen, Denmark, transmitted, likewise in exchange, 34 species of
crinoids, represented by 92 specimens. Dr. James M. Flint, United
States Navy (retired), presented to the Museum 347 microscopic
slides of foraminifera, selected chiefly from dredgings by the Bureau
of Fisheries steamer Albatross from 1883 to 1887, and mounted and
identified by himself. Dr. Charles B. Wilson and Dr. E. A. Andrews,
while at the Johns Hopkins laboratory, Montego Bay, Jamaica,
during the summer of 1910, kindly collected for the Museum in that
locality about 250 lots of crustaceans, both marine and fluviatile. In
the collection received from the Imperial University of Tokyo
through Prof. E. S. Morse are a large number of miscellaneous

marine invertebrates, in addition to the mollusks already referred to,
which were sent subject to the same conditions.

The collections and laboratories of the division were moved to the
new building during the first half of the year, and by the close of the
year the alcoholic material, filling several thousand jars and bottles,
had been mostly arranged. In the alcoholic storage room the stacks
were lettered and the shelves numbered; the family names were
pasted on the edges of the shelves, and large labels to be fastened at
the end of each stack and briefly indicating its contents were in
course of preparation. While the transfer was in progress care was
taken to see that all receptacles were properly filled with alcohol,
and it is hoped that the low temperature in the new quarters will
prevent the rapid evaporation which has been a serious menace to
the collection in the overheated Smithsonian basement. The dried
collection placed in the laboratories on the ground floor has been
systematically installed, but of the material assigned to the attic
storage only the samples of ocean bottom had been put in final order.

To assist in the arrangement of the reserve collection a scheme of
classification was adopted and a tabulated list was made of the
orders, families, and genera of each phylum. This list, typewritten
and bound, forms a systematic index to the collection, and also indi-
cates the desiderata, asterisks marking those families and genera not
represented. The variety and extent of the collection is shown by
the number of families so far arranged, namely 560, and this will
be considerably increased when the Protozoa and Trochelminthes,
in the form of microscopic mounts, have been added. Many hun-
dreds of cards were written and the catalogues of alcoholic sponges,
meduse, hydroids, and crustaceans were completed to date.

On account of the amount of routine work attendant upon the mov-
ing of the collections, Miss M. J. Rathbun, assistant curator, was
unable to carry on other investigations than were necessary for the
identification of the decapod crustaceans received during the year.
Mr. Austin H. Clark, assistant curator, completed his reports on the
crinoids in the Paris Museum, the Leyden Museum, and the Indian
Museum, and on those collected by the steamer /nvestigator. He
submitted a preliminary paper on the crinoids obtained by the
steamer Albatross during the Philippine cruise, and finished the first
part of his monograph of the recent crinoids, comprising the his-
torical introduction and the discussion of the skeletal system. He
also began work on the crinoids of the Hamburg West Australian,
the Siboga, and the /ngolf expeditions. During the summer of
1910 Mr. Clark spent several months in Europe, having been de-
tailed to enable him, among other things, to study the collections of
crinoids and the methods of exhibiting and storing specimens in the
principal museums. Eighteen cities containing important museums

4Q REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 191i.

were visited. Dr. Harriet Richardson, collaborator, continued her
studies on isopod crustaceans, naming such as were received during
the year, especially some collected by the Charcot expedition to the
Antarctic Ocean, and also preparing descriptions of a number of
single species from various localities.

Sir John Murray, of Edinburgh, Scotland, while in Washington in
the spring of 1911, examined cursorily the entire collection of marine
deposits derived from the explorations of the steamers of the Bureau
of Fisheries and from other sources, and selected many samples which
were to be forwarded to him at Edinburgh for more detailed inves-
tigation. The bottom samples from the dredgings made by the
steamer A/batross in the north Pacific Ocean in 1906 were gone over
by Dr. Albert Mann, of the Department of Agriculture, for the pur-
pose of sorting out the diatoms, on which he will report to the Bureau
of Fisheries. Dr. Harold Heath, of Stanford University, examined
the alcoholic collections of aleyonarians and hydroids for specimens
of parasitic or,commensal solenogastrids which he is studying. Sat-
isfactory progress is to be noted in the working up of collections
belonging to this division by persons attached to other institutions.
Dr. J. A. Cushman, of the Boston Society of Natural History, com-
pleted the second part of his bulletin on the foraminifera (Textu-
lariide) of the north Pacific Ocean, and has the third part (La-
genide) well under way. Dr. Nelson Annandale, of the Indian
Museum, Calcutta, finished part 5 of the series of papers he is pre-
paring on the fresh-water sponges. Reports on the Cumacea by Dr.
W. T. Calman, of the British Museum, and the Euphausiacea by
Dr. H. J. Hansen, of Copenhagen, Denmark, are nearly ready. Other
studies were being actively continued, as follows: On the starfishes of
the north Pacific Ocean by Dr. W. K. Fisher, of Stanford University ;
parasitic copepods by Dr. Charles B. Wilson, of the State Normal
School, Westfield, Massachusetts; New England bryozoa by Dr. R. C.
Osburn, of Columbia University; the Sipunculoidea by Dr. J. H.
Gerould, of Dartmouth College; shrimps of the family Crangonide
by Dr. H. Coutiére, of the University of Paris; certain Echinoidea
by Dr. Th. Mortensen, of the Zoological Museum, Copenhagen;
amphipod crustaceans from the Gulf of Mexico by Dr. A. 8. Pearse,
of the University of Michigan; hydroids by Prof. C. C. Nutting, of
the University of Iowa; and medusz of the Pacific Ocean by Dr.
H. B. Bigelow, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Prof. J. W.
Spengel, of the University, Giessen, Germany, has undertaken the
study of the Echiuroidea, and Dr. C. Dwight Marsh, of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, of the fresh-water copepods.

The helminthological collections which constitute a section in the
division of marine invertebrates are, for the convenience of the
honorary custodians who have charge of them, partly kept and cared

for at the Hygienic Laboratory of the Bureau of Public Health and
Marine-Hospital Service, the Bureau of Animal Industry, and the
Naval Medical School. The additions during the year, which were
numerous, were in part collected by officers and members of these
services and in part received as gifts and exchanges. Among the out-
side contributors were Mr. C. W. Howard, of the Department of
Agriculture of Portuguese East Africa; Prof. A. Railliet, of Alfort,
France; Dr. R. P. Strong, of the Bureau of Science, Manila; Dr.
Bell, of Hongkong, China; Dr. Paul R. Stalnaker, passed assistant
surgeon, United States Navy, Culebra, Porto Rico; Capt. J. F.
Siler, United States Army, Post-Graduate School, New York; and
Dr. B. F. Kaup, of Port Collins, Colorado.

Investigations on material added to the collections were completed
and published on the following subjects: The taxonomic value of the
microscopic structure of the stigmal plates in the tick genus Der-
macentor, by Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles; some known and three new
endoparasitic trematodes from American fresh-water fish, some new
parasitic trematode worms of the genus 7Z’e/orchis, and a new trema-
tode (Styphlodora bascaniensis) with a blind Laurer’s canal, by
Mr. Joseph Goldberger; a new species of Athesmia (A. fox) from a
monkey, by Mr. Joseph Goldberger and Mr. Charles G. Crane; a new
cestode from an African bustard, by Dr. B. H. Ransom; the gid para-
site and allied species of the cestode genus M/ulticeps, and methods for
the eradication of gid, by Mr. M. C. Hall.

Plants—The total number of specimens of plants received during
the year was 38,716, of which nearly one-third were obtained in con-
nection with the biological survey of the Panama Canal Zone now
being conducted under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution,
as described elsewhere. The collections transferred by the Bureau
of Plant Industry, the Biological Survey and the Bureau of Ento-
mology of the Department of Agriculture aggregated 6,541 speci-
mens, and by the Bureau of Fisheries, 1,700 specimens. Private col-
lectors presented 2,390 specimens, while 8,740 were obtained through
exchange, principally from the Bureau of Science at Manila, the New
York Botanical Garden, and the Yale University, Forest School.
The number of specimens purchased was 5,900.

It is gratifying to note that in connection with the changes made
possible by the completion of the new building this division has been
able to secure convenient quarters with ample space for the growth
of some years to come. To this purpose has been allotted the entire
upper story of the main part of the Smithsonian building, formerly
occupied by the exhibition collections of prehistoric archeology. It
consists of a single large hall, 200 feet long, 50 feet wide and 29 feet
high, in which 12 rooms for laboratory and office purposes have been
screened off at one end. The rest of the hall furnishes accommoda-

44 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

tions for the herbarium storage cases, and an adjacent room in the
south tower has been fitted up as a library and reference room. The
transfer of the division was accomplished during the year. The
furniture equipment of the herbarium comprises 643 steel-covered,
insect-proof cases, with 14,468 pigeonholes, of which 75 cases, pro-
viding 1,800 pigeonholes, were added during the year. The number
of plants mounted was 62,432, covering all arrears in this respect and
greatly exceeding any previous record. A total of 69,253 sheets of
plants was recorded.

The associate curator, Dr. J. N. Rose, continued his studies of
Mexican and Central American plants and his cactus investigations.
Mr. W. R. Maxon, assistant curator, continued his work on the ferns
of North America, and Mr. E. S. Steele his studies of Laciniaria.
Capt. John Donnell Smith, of Baltimore, an associate of the Museum,
described a number of interesting new species from Central America,
and, in conjunction with Dr. Rose, is writing a monograph of the
genus Hauya and two allied new genera from Mexico and Central
America. Prof. E. O. Wooton, who is preparing a paper on the flora
of New Mexico for the division, spent thé winter and spring at the
Museum, working with Mr. Paul C. Standley, assistant curator, and
satisfactory progress is reported. Besides members of the scientific
staff of the Department of Agriculture, who consulted the herbarium
freely, the following persons visited the division for the purpose of
examining specimens: Dr. Ezra Brainerd, of Middlebury, Vermont;
Dr. William Trelease, director of the Missouri Botanical Garden;
Dr. John K. Small, of the New York Botanical Garden; Mr. E. L.
Morris, of Brooklyn, New York; Prof. W. A. Setchell, of the Uni-
versity of California; Miss Mary Wilkins, of Washington; and Mr.
A, A. Heller, of Reno, Nevada. Nearly 1,200 specimens of plants
were lent for study to botanists both in this country and abroad.

Explorations—Beginning in the latter part of the winter the
Bureau of Fisheries in conjunction with the American Museum of
Natural History, which paid a part of the expenses, conducted an
exploration along the west coast of Mexico, the steamer Albatross
being used for the purpose. By invitation, the National Museum
detailed two members of its staff to participate in the expedition, Dr.
J. N. Rose, associate curator of plants, and Dr. Paul Bartsch, assistant
curator of mollusks. The Albatross left San Diego, California, Feb-
ruary 28, 1911, visited Guadaloupe Island, and then proceeded down
the coast of Lower California to the Gulf of California, which was
traversed as far north as Angel de la Guarda Island. Dredgings
were made off the outer coast of Lower California both going and
returning, and shore and shallow water collecting was carried on
in the Gulf. Owing to the short duration of the cruise, somewhat
less than two months, it was impossible to make more than a brief

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 45

stop at any place, but, nevertheless, the results of the trip were ex-
ceedingly satisfactory. Of marine invertebrates, especially mollusks,
a large and fine series was obtained, and of plants, about 2,000 her-
barium specimens and 1,000 living specimens, mostly cacti, were
secured.

During the year, a biological survey of the Panama Canal Zone and
adjacent regions was begun on the initiative and partly at the
expense of the Smithsonian Institution. That the completion of the
interoceanic canal and consequent mingling of the fresh waters of
the Atlantic and Pacific watersheds may influence the distribution
of certain classes of organisms and even lead to the extermination of
some forms, made it important that such an exploration be under-
taken without delay, but the work was planned on a broad basis, to
be conducted with such assistance and cooperation as could be secured
from any source. The project received the approval of the President
of the United States and has been warmly supported by the Secre-
taries of War, of Agriculture, and of Commerce and Labor. The
War Department has aided by furnishing transportation and sub-
sistence. Field work was conducted during last year by the Bureaus
of Plant Industry, Entomology, and Biological Survey of the De-
partment of Agriculture, and during next year is expected to be
taken up by the Bureau of Fisheries of the Department of Commerce
and Labor. The Field Museum of Natural History has also partici-
pated in the exploration, having sent Prof. S. E. Meek with a party
to investigate the fishes. The collections made by the Government
bureaus will eventually be deposited in the National Museum, and
those obtained by Professor Meek will be divided. While this survey
is certain to yield interesting scientific results, it is also likely to lead
to information of much economic value, which is important in view
of the close relationship of the region with the United States.

Only one member of the Museum staff, Mr. W. R. Maxon, assistant
curator of plants, was detailed to this exploration during the year,
the main object of his trip being to collect ferns and the lower cryp-
togams. On February 3, 1911, he joined Prof. Henry Pittier, of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, who, on account of his special qualifica-
tions and his experience in Central America, had been placed in
charge of the botanical investigations and was already in the field.
From Culebra as headquarters, collecting was actively carried on
along the 50-mile stretch of the Panama Railroad and into the adja-
cent jungle and forest. Several days were also spent in the neighbor-
hood of Porto Bello, on the Atlantic coast. The most interesting
expedition, lasting between five and six weeks, was one to the moun-
tain region of Chiriqui in Panama, adjacent to Costa Rica, the botany
of which was almost wholly unknown. From Boquete, at the south-
ern base of the interoceanic divide, several trips were made success-

46 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

fully to the higher peaks, including the ascent of the volcano Chiri-
qui, over 11,000 feet high, which had not previously been visited by
botanists. The locality was found to be especially rich in ferns, and
much valuable material was obtained. Mr. Maxon returned to Wash-
ington on April 18.

Mention has already been made of a visit by Dr. E. A. Mearns,
United States Army, Mr. J. H. Riley, of the Museum staff, and Mr.
E. J. Brown to the coast of South Carolina near Charleston, a
region which, though very interesting ornithologically, has been but
poorly represented in the collections of the Museum. In February,
1911, Mr. Edmund Heller left Washington to accompany Mr. Paul
J. Rainey, of New York, on an extended hunting expedition to
British East Africa and the country immediately to the north of it,
Mr. Rainey having generously tendered to the Museum all material
of scientific value that is collected. Near the close of the year, Mr.
A. C. Bent, of Taunton, Massachusetts, in furtherance of his investi-
gations relative to the life histories of North American birds, started
with a party of assistants for the Aleutian Islands and other locali-
ties in Alaska. Among other private expeditions during the year
by which the Museum has been especially benefited may be mentioned
the work of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur de C. Sowerby, in the Province of
Shan-si, China; the hunting trip of Mr. John J. White, of Washing-
ton, to British East Africa, through which a number of interesting
mammals were secured; and the journey of Mr. Harry V. Radford,
of New York, into the home of the wood bison in the almost un-
known region of northwestern Canada, west of the Slave River and
north of the lower Peace. This exploration, made in 1909 and 1910,
and including track surveys over many hundreds of miles, furnished
Mr. Radford the opportunity of closely studying the wood bison in
its haunts, and of making the first recorded observations on this
rare animal in life. Eighteen individuals were seen, and, under a
permit from the Canadian Government, one was killed. It weighed
2,402 pounds, and both the skin and skeleton were preserved. The
former was presented by Mr. Radford to the Provincial Museum at
Edmonton, Alberta, while the skeleton was obtained for the National
Museum at a moderate cost.

Preparation of specimens.—In view of the exceptional amount of
work involved in preparing material for the exhibition halls, it be-
came necessary to materially increase the staff of taxidermists at
the beginning of the year, and excellent progress was made in all
matters relating to this subject. Under the immediate supervision
of the chief taxidermist about 30 mammals, chiefly from the collec-
tion of the Smithsonian African Expedition, were mounted. Seven-
teen of these were of medium to large size, consisting of an African
buffalo, five lions, a leopard, a jaguar, a Grant’s gazelle, a thar, a

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 47

wart hog, two hyenas, a zebra, a klipspringer, a bear, and a goat.
The remainder were chiefly rodents. Small models were made of a
topi antelope, a duiker antelope, and two water bucks, and the
mounting of a reticulated giraffe was begun. Much additional work
also devolved upon the mammal taxidermists in attending to the
preservation of skins as they were received from the field, and the
preparation of specimens for the reserve series as well as for future
mounting.

For the new exhibition series of birds, 34 specimens were mounted,
among them being two examples of the remarkable whale-billed stork
from the African expedition of the Smithsonian Institution, which
were combined in a group; 33 important mounted specimens, includ-
ing several birds of paradise and other valuable exotic species, were
made over; and the mounted domestic pigeons, an interesting series
of thoroughbred birds which had been in storage for some years, were
renovated and placed on the dove-cot which had been rebuilt for their

‘reception. Other work consisted in the preparation of skins for the
reserve series, the repair of specimens, ete.

In osteology, 128 skeletons of birds and 32 of mammals, both liga-
mentary and disarticulated, were prepared; 69 skeletons and over
3,000 skulls of mammals, besides many separate bones, were cleaned ;
and skeletons of a humpback whale and a killer whale were cleaned
and partly mounted. A large part of the above material was from
east Africa, and in addition a number of skeletons from specimens
received from the National Zoological Park were roughed out. Casts
of several cetaceans, reptiles, and batrachians were also made for
the exhibition collections.

The exhibition collections.—The installation of the exhibition col-
lections in biology, which for the present are being restricted to
zoology, presents exceptional difficulties on account of the variety
of subjects and the diversity in character of the objects to be provided
for. Furthermore, the overcrowding of the quarters heretofore occu-
pied by the zoological exhibits necessitated some years back a prac-
tical cessation in their increase and rendered inexpedient any special
effort for their betterment. It has, therefore, all along been recog-
nized that a creditable installation for zoology would require not
only a thorough overhauling and renovation of the old exhibits but
also the replacing of large numbers of the specimens with new and
fresh material and such extensive additions as will completely change
the complexion of the collections and greatly improve their character
and effectiveness. The revision contemplates systematic and faunal
arrangements, a synoptic series, several special exhibits illustrative
of biological subjects, such as anatomy, embryology, color variation,
etc., and a collection for young people, carrying out and enlarging

upon the idea expressed in the children’s room in the Smithsonian
building, founded by the late Secretary Langley.

The designing and building of cases has, in view of the number of
kinds and sizes required, demanded more time than was anticipated,
and at the close of the year only a relatively small proportion of the
furniture had been delivered, though the greater part of it was under
construction or included in contracts about to be awarded. Such of
the collections as had been brought from the older buildings, to- .
gether with the specimens recently prepared, have been assembled in
the halls which they will occupy, but no part of the exhibition had
been sufficiently advanced for opening to the public. It is expected,
however, that some sections will be in readiness early in the present
year. The American mammals and osteological preparations have
continued on exhibition in the older Museum building, and the birds
and marine invertebrates, exclusive of the mollusks, in the Smith-
sonian building.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY.

Accessions-—The total number of specimens acquired by the de-
partment of geology was approximately 6,647, the number of sep-
arate lots or accessions received by each of the several divisions and
sections having been as follows: Systematic and applied geology, 45;
mineralogy, 27; invertebrate paleontology, 41; vertebrate paleon-
tology, 27; paleobotany, 6. Among the more important additions in
geology were several hundred specimens illustrating the silicifica-
tion of fossils and the formation of geodes, collected by Dr. R. S.
Bassler; six fine examples of billitonite, the gift of Dr. R. D. M.
Verbeck, The Hague, Holland; and 42 polished slabs of marble and
granite for the exhibition series of ornamental stones, presented by
the Vermont Marble Company, the Alabama Marble Company, the
Georgia Marble Company, the Georgia Verd Antique Marble Com-
pany, the Colorado Yule Marble Company, the Henry A. Schweyer
Company, and the Norcross Brothers Company. There should also
be mentioned a series of specimens illustrating the geology and ore
deposits of the Bullfrog District, from the United States Geological
Survey; monazite sand, pyrrhotite, graphite, and pegmatite from Mr.
EK. Masillamani, of Trivandrum, India; two meteorites, and samples
of monazites and other radio-active minerals, which had been the
subject of investigation by the late Prof. George F. Barker, presented
by Mrs. Barker; and a collection of rocks from Hawaii, the gift of
Prof. C. H. Hitchcock.

The additions in mineralogy comprised much noteworthy material.
Zeolites from New Jersey to the number of 98 specimens, the ma-
jority suitable for exhibition, and including a remarkable large mass

of prehnite, were received as a gift from Dr. William S. Disbrow, of
Newark. Three transfers from the United States Geological Survey
are important from the number of type specimens they contain,
namely, arizonite, tantalornite, molybdite, powellite, ludwigite, na-
tramblygonite, warrenite, gageite, emmonsite, bismite, lepidolite, and
cookeite. One of these collections in particular, made by Mr. W. T.
Schaller in the Tourmaline field of San Diego County, California,
furnished several specimens of a very striking character, which have
been placed on exhibition. A specimen of autunite of extraordinary
crystal development was presented by Mr. H. Weber, of Paris,
France, through Mr. Frank L. Hess, of the Geological Survey. A
collection of minerals and ores illustrating the important silver de-
posits of Cobalt, Canada, including large veins of smaltite and nug-
gets of dyscrasite, was obtained in exchange from Mr. Otto F.
Pfordte, of Rutherford, New Jersey; and a number of minerals from
the copper region of Ducktown, Tennessee, were donated by Dr. F. B.
Laney. A large series of showy cave calcites was transferred by the
General Land Office of the Department of the Interior, and a fine
example of crystallized ferberite and one of kréhnkite, the latter
being a regently discovered copper mineral from Chile, were
purchased.

Most important of the accessions in invertebrate paleontology were
two collections of Middle Cambrian fossils from British Columbia,
collected and described by Dr. Charles D. Walcott and deposited by
the Smithsonian Institution. The first consists of the unique types
of Eurypterids, on which a new suborder of crustaceans was founded
by Doctor Walcott, and the second of equally valuable types of Holo-
thurians. Investigations in Kentucky and Tennessee by Doctor
Bassler and the Hon. Frank Springer yielded about 2,000 specimens
of Silurian and Mississippian fossils, on which were based a com-
munication by Mr. Springer on the crinoids of the Knobstone forma-
tion and one by Doctor Bassler on the Waverlyan period of Ten-
nessee. <A choice series of 800 specimens of Silurian and Devonian
fossils from western Maryland was received from the estate of the
late Robert H. Gordon, of Cumberland, Maryland; and a valuable
collection of Devonian fossils was presented by Dr. Cooper Curtice,
of Livingston, Alabama. Other noteworthy gifts comprised Cin-
cinnatian fossils from Toronto, Canada, contributed by Prof. W. A.
Parks, of the University of Toronto; Mesozoic fossils from near
Cafion City, Colorado, and from near El Paso, Texas, the former
donated by Lieut. Stephen Abbot, United States Army, the latter by
Mr. Harvey Barrett; and Cenozoic fossils presented by Mr. C. H. T.
Townsend and Mr. Joseph Willcox.

. Among the acquisitions in vertebrate paleontology were 20 speci-

mens of fossil mammals, nearly all of which are desirable for exhibi-

tion, and 3 specimens of Permian reptiles, including a complete skull
of H'ryops and a part of a skeleton of Dimetrodon, obtained in ex-
change from the American Museum of Natural History. A’ series of
the teeth and jaws of fossil mammals from the Fort Union formation
of Montana was purchased, and a collection of mammal and sharks
teeth from the phosphate deposits near Mulberry, Florida, was trans-
ferred by the United States Geological Survey.

The principal additions in paleobotany consisted of specimens
of plants from the Coal Measures of Butler County, Pennsylvania,
presented by Mr. Kemp G. Acker, of Washington, and Mr. Theodore
Gubler, of Butler, Pennsylvania.

General work on the collections—The transfer of the geological
collections from the old Museum building to the new, begun the pre-
vious year, was continued as rapidly as the necessary cases could be
provided, and was completed except, as to a few of the exhibition
series. A tentative rearrangement of the reserve collections was also
in large part accomplished. The moving furnished an excellent op-
‘portunity for a thorough overhauling of the specimens, during which
many duplicates were sorted out, to be made available for distribution
in the future. From the reserve collections, in all instances where
the amount of material is extensive, it has been sought to select study
series, including types, which have been assigned the more con-
venient places for reference on the working floors, while the attic
space, though readily accessible, is being used for the storage of those
portions of the collections for which there is the least demand. The
department of geology occupies parts of all the floors on the east
side of the building, but a large share of the Tertiary fossils is cared

for in connection with the recent mollusks on the west side, and the
unworked material in Cambrian paleontology is kept in the labora-
tories of Doctor Walcott, in the Smithsonian building.

The material in applied geology selected for ready reference and
arranged on the third floor includes all type collections described in
current Government publications and such other collections as are
likely to be of active interest, aggregating about 16,000 specimens;
and a systematic drawer series of economic occurrences, numbering
about 9,000 specimens, designed to meet the requirements for greater
refinement of detail in study than is offered by the exhibition series.
A system of indexing, in course of preparation, will afford a classi-
fied record of exactly what is available for study in the combined
collections and indicate the location of the material, whether in the
storage or the exhibition cases.

The overhauling, cleaning, and numbering of all specimens in the
reserve collection of mineralogy was completed during the year. The
study series, unencumbered by duplicates or other unnecessary ma-
terial, has also been systematically arranged in drawers, in accord-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 51

ance with the classification employed by Dana in his “System of
Mineralogy.”

The reserve collections of the section of invertebrate paleontology,
except the Cambrian material retained at the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, were moved to the new building before the close of the previous
year, and the most important routine work of the past year consisted
in overhauling and rearranging them in the permanent storage cases.
The splendid Ordovician collection is now for the first time well
classified, and fills about 2,500 of the large standard drawers, ap-
proaching, in point of size at least, the Cambrian collection, which
is unrivaled. The Silurian collection, occupying some 400 drawers,
has also been placed in good condition for reference. Much remains
to be done with the series of Devonian, Mississippian, and Pennsyl-
vanian fossils, although they have been made available for consulta-
tion. The Mesozoic collections have been classified, rearranged, and
installed, except a few boxes of old material still remaining to be
unpacked. The Tertiary fossils have been provisionally arranged
and are accessible for reference, but are awaiting additional furni-
ture before they can be permanently stored. It is interesting to note
the introduction in this section during the year of a stone-cutting
machine for trimming the matrix about fossils which can not be
removed from the rock. By means of this device much extraneous
stone has been removed from specimens of this character, an impor-
tant collection that weighed about 3 tons when it reached the Museum
having been reduced in weight to some 500 or 600 pounds.

In the section of vertebrate paleontology all of the ‘material that
~ has been worked out from the matrix was brought together in the
new building, but there remain some 300 boxes containing mainly
such portions of the Marsh collection as have not yet been sufficiently
cleaned to establish their full value. The preparation of specimens,
both for study and for exhibition, progressed as satisfactorily as
could be expected with the small force employed. The principal
mountings made were for the exhibition hall, as described below.
Material for other mounts, some of which is duplicate and available
for exchanges, was also assembled. Considerable time was spent in
the arrangement of the reserve collections and in the work of classi-
fying and cataloguing.

The reserve collection in paleobotany was in course of transfer at
the close of the year, delays having occurred in completing the furni-
ture required. This collection now fills about 7,000 of the standard
drawers, but its bulk is being materially lessened by cutting down the
size of all specimens that permit of it, as in the case of fossil
invertebrates.

With reference to the ae department of geology it may be said
that the general card catalogues have been brought practically up to

52 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

date, while the card catalogues of types and illustrated specimens in
mineralogy, invertebrate paleontology, and vertebrate paleontology
have been perfected. Some 384 lots of specimens of rocks, minerals,
and fossils, received from outside sources for examination and report,
were identified during the year.

Exhibition collections—By the close of the year all of the geolog-
ical material which had been exhibited in the older building had
been transferred except the fossil plants, the gems, and a part of the
collection of applied geology, but none of the installations in the
new building had been completed, owing in part to the delay in ob-
taining furniture and in part to the large amount of work involved
in preparing, arranging, and labeling the specimens. The progress
made is, nevertheless, to be regarded as satisfactory.

The exhibition in mineralogy had been about two-thirds installed,
and it was expected to have it entirely ready for the public by the
autumn of 1911. The part completed consisted of the systematic
series, comprising about 4,000 specimens, or 1,000 more than had
previously been shown. This series was entirely reorganized, many
of the old specimens being replaced by newer and superior ones,
and additions will continue to be made as desirable material is
received. The classification used is that proposed by Professor Dana.
Washing with warm water and soap was found to greatly improve
the looks of most of the specimens, and about 95 per cent of them
were subjected to this treatment. With new cases throughout, and
the collection of gems to be added, the hall of mineralogy promises
to present a very gratifying appearance.

The large eastern skylighted hall assigned to fossil vertebrates can
probably be opened at about the same time as the hall of mineralogy,
though its installation will still be very incomplete. New prepara-
tions will be added as they are finished, but in the case of large speci-
mens the work of cleaning and assembling parts of skeletons is slow
and laborious. Among the improvements introduced are new stand-
ard styles of pedestals for the floor and of framed inclosures for flat
mounts displayed on the walls. The principal preparations made
for the exhibition series during the year consisted of skeletons of the
zeuglodon (Basilosaurus cetoides), of the type specimen of Cera-
tosaurus nasicornis Marsh, and of Camptosaurus brown and Camp-
tosaurus nanus. The two latter specimens have been grouped on the
same base in a unique and attractive manner. Among large forms
previously made ready for the hall are an oreodon (Merycotdodon
gracilis), a Triceratops prorsus and a Trachodon annectens. 'The
skeletons of the large mastodon (J/ammut americanum), the “ Trish
elk” (Alce gigantea), and a New Zealand moa (£'meus crassus) , from
the older collections, were entirely remounted and their appearance
greatly improved. Many smaller specimens were also prepared, and

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 53

much time was spent in repairing damages occasioned by the moving.
Among the lesser though interesting mounts that have been installed
may be mentioned the skull and antlers of an Alce gigantea, two
mammoth tusks, 10 specimens of fishes, and several turtles. Work
on a complete composite skeleton of Zeleoceras fossiger, a short-legged
rhinoceros, is well under way.

The exhibition of fossil invertebrates has been planned on a much
more comprehensive scale than before, and good progress was made
in bringing together and preparing the material. Not more than
two-thirds of the specimens shown in the old building will be utilized,
but to this nucleus much that is new and attractive will be added, and
it is hoped that the work can be completed before the end of the
calendar year 1911. The exhibition collection of paleobotany was
still in the old building, awaiting the completion of cases which have
been ordered for it.

Researches—On account of the amount of work involved in the
moving, the extent of original investigations by members of the
staff was much curtailed. Dr. George P. Merrill, head curator of
the department, completed a paper on the origin of the sporadic
glasses known under the names of moldavite, billitonite, etc., and
has conducted studies on the composition of meteorites, under a grant
from the National Academy of Sciences. Dr. J. E. Pogue, assistant
curator of mineralogy, continued the preparation of his treatise on
the turquoise, and conducted petrographic researches on ottrelite
schists. The descriptions of calamine crystals, a phlogopite-biotite
intergrowth and pseudomorphs of marcasite after pyrrhotite, men-
tioned in the last report, were finished and published.

Dr. Charles D. Walcott, Secretary of the Institution, continued
his investigations on Cambrian fossils mainly obtained during his
own explorations in the Rocky Mountain region of the Northwest,
during which some remarkable paleontological discoveries were made.
Papers on the eurypterid crustaceans, the meduse and the holo-
thurians from this formation were issued during the year, while
contributions on the annelids, sponges, and certain groups of crusta-
ceans were in course of preparation. Dr. R. S. Bassler, curator of
paleontology, submitted for publication his extensive bulletin on the
Bryozoan faunas of the Baltic Provinces, which is now in press. He
also described a new genus of tubuliporoid Bryozoa, and completed
papers on stratigraphical and paleontological studies of the Waver-
lyan rocks of Tennessee, and the geologic section of a deep well at
Waverly, Ohio. Dr. William H. Dall, associate curator, reported in-
vestigations in progress on the Tertiary faunas of the Canal Zone,
the Pacific coast of North America, the gold-bearing gravels of
Alaska, and the Silex beds of Tampa, Florida. Mr. L. D. Burling,
assistant curator of invertebrate paleontology, was mainly occupied

54 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

in connection with the publication of Doctor Walcott’s monograph
on Cambrian brachiopoda.

Mr. C. W. Gilmore, custodian of fossil reptiles, described a new
genus and species of alligator from the Hell Creek beds of Montana,
and has in preparation a paper on the recently mounted skeletons of
Ceratosaurus and Camptosaurus. He also continued work on the
fossil reptiles of North Carolina for the Geological Survey of that
State. Mr. J. W. Gidley, custodian of fossil mammals, continued his
studies on zeuglodon and on mammals from the Fort Union forma-
tion, subjects mentioned in the last report, and brought together
most of the data required for papers on a new species of horse from
the Pleistocene of Nebraska, new species of rodents from the Miocene
beds of Kansas and Dakota, and a new species of deer from the
Mascall beds of Oregon.

Most of the paleontological work of the United States Geological
Survey is conducted at the Museum, since it is necessary in that con-
nection to have constant access to the extensive collections of identi-
fied specimens which are here deposited, and several of the paleontol-
ogists of the Survey have long held honorary positions of responsi-
bility on the Museum staff. The results of their scientific studies are
not, however, reported to the Museum. Other establishments which
made use of the collections were the American Museum of Natural
History, the State Geological Survey of Maryland and Johns Hopkins
University, the Peabody Museum of Yale University, and the Geo-
physical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution. Dr. O. P. Hay
continued his researches on Museum material, giving special atten-
tion to the distribution of the Pleistocene fauna of North America.
Among others who spent more or less time at the Museum, engaged
in investigations, may be mentioned Dr. J. P. Iddings; Mr. A. S.
Coggeshall, of the Carnegie Museum; Dr. John C. Merriam, of the
University of California; Dr. H. M. Ami, of the Geological Survey
of Canada; Prof. C. A. Reeds, of Bryn Mawr College; Dr. Arthur
Hollick, of the New York Botanical Garden; Mr. F. L. Canfield, of
New Jersey; Mr. S. Ko, of Japan; Dr. Friedrich von Huene, of the
University of Tiibingen, Germany; Dr. Jaroslaw Perner, of the
Royal Bohemian Museum, Prague; and Dr. Marie C. Stopes, of
Manchester University, England.

Specimens were lent for study to Dr. John M. Clarke, State Geolo-
gist of New York; Prof. R. L. Moodie, of the University of Kansas;
Prof. W. H. Reed, of the University of Wyoming; Prof. H. F. Wick-
ham, of the University of Iowa; Dr. G. F. Loughlin, of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology; Dr. J. E. Whitfield, of Philadel-
phia; and Dr. J. H. Bonnema, of Groningen, Holland.

Field work.—The explorations in the Rocky Mountain region of
British Columbia by the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 55

greatly enriched the collection of Cambrian fossils, and field work in
Tennessee by Doctor Bassler and the Hon. Frank Springer resulted
in an important accession. Twice during the year the head curator
was called on for service not directly connected with his Museum
duties; first, in July, 1910, to inspect limestone quarries at Bedford,
Indiana, with a view to the adoption of the stone for the St. Alban’s
Cathedral building in Washington, and again in May following, at
the request of the Secretary of the Interior, to inspect the fossil
forests near Adamana, Arizona, for the purpose of setting aside cer-
tain areas from which collections may be made, and also of reducing
the size of the reservation. Incidentally, he obtained a considerable
quantity of silicified wood for exhibition and study purposes.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS.

The only duplicates arranged in systematic series, to meet the
needs of educational establishments, available for distribution during
_ the year, were fossil invertebrates. Of these, 27 sets, aggregating
1,393 specimens, were supplied to as many schools and colleges. In
meeting special applications for teaching purposes, 697 duplicate
specimens of animals and plants and 1,094 duplicate specimens of
rocks and fossils, besides some 3,350 pounds of assay and blow-pipe
material, were distributed. For making exchanges, 23,582 duplicate
specimens were used, of which 88 were anthropological, 22,160 bio-
logical, and 1,334 geological. There were sent to specialists for study,
either in the interest of the Museum or otherwise, 38 objects of
anthropological subjects, approximately 24,000 animals and plants,
and 576 geological specimens, a total of 24,614 specimens.

Exchanges were made during the year with the following insti-
tutions abroad: The Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of
England, London, and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England;
the National Museum, Dublin, Ireland; the Muséum d’Histoire
Naturelle, Paris, France; the Museum fiir Naturkunde, Berlin, the
Kénigl. Botanisches Museum, Dahlem, Steglitz bei Berlin, and the

NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART.

The paintings of the National Gallery of Art, which occupy the
central part of the middle hall in the new building, remained on
exhibition throughout the year except for a period of two months,
from the last of January until the last of March, 1911, when they
were removed to permit of the painting of the adjacent walls. “In
reinstalling them the same general arrangement was observed, though
some changes were made in the distribution of individual pictures.

Mr. William T. Evans, of New York, continued his generous bene-
factions, adding 13 examples to his collection of the works of con-
temporary American painters, which has attracted so much attention
throughout the art world and which now consists of 127 pieces, repre-
senting 90 artists. The contributions of the year comprised “ Ply-
mouth Hills,” by John W. Beatty; “The Wain Team,” by George
Elmer Browne; “ Caresse Enfantine,” by Mary Cassatt; “ May
Flowers,” by Louise Cox; “The Plaza,” by William R. Derrick;
“ Depths of the Woods,” by Lillian Matilde Genth; “The Georgian
Chair,” by Childe Hassam; “Friendly Neighbors,” by Alfred C.
Howland; “ Idle Hours,” by Henry Siddons Mowbray; “ Mists of
the Morning,” by George Glenn Newell; “The Mirror,” by Robert
Reid; “Algerian Water Carrier,” by William Sartain; and “ Co-
lumbus Circle—Winter,” by Guy C. Wiggins. Two of these paint-
ings, “ Plymouth Hills” and “ Depths of the Woods,” had not been
received in Washington at the close of the year, having been per-
mitted to remain on exhibition elsewhere. The latter, at the time of

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 57

its presentation to the Gallery, was at the eighty-sixth annual exhibi-
tion of the National Academy of Design, March 11 to April 16, at
which it was awarded the First Hallgarten Prize.

Mr. Evans did not confine his donations to paintings, however,
since he also presented 81 framed engravings as part of a series of
100 proofs designed to illustrate the best work of American wood
engravers, which he had announced his intention of placing in the
Gallery. They were hung with the paintings. Fifteen engravers are
represented, Henry Wolf by the greatest number of examples, the
others being Timothy Cole, Victor Bernstrom, William B. Closson,
John P. Davis, Frank French, T. Johnson, F. 8S. King, Elbridge
Kingsley, G. Kruell, R. A. Muller, Caroline A. Powell, S. G. Putnam,
John Tinkey, and F. H. Wellington.

Mr. Charles L. Freer, whose important gift to the Nation of
American and oriental art still remains in the keeping of the donor
at his home in Detroit, Michigan, spent a large part of the year abroad
in the interest of the enrichment of this notable collection, to which
he made extensive and valuable additions. During most of the
winter Mr. Freer traveled in China, visiting many places which
promised opportunities for observation and acquisition, and espe-
cially some of the interior cities which, centuries ago, were great
producing centers of art.

The Gallery was also fortunate in securing a number of interesting
loans, the most noteworthy of which is a choice collection of 15
paintings, kindly deposited by Mr. William A. Slater, of Washine-
ton. It has been installed in and fully occupies one of the two small
rooms at the northern end of the Gallery inclosure. Fourteen artists
are represented as follows: Rembrandt, by “ The Rabbi”; Ruysdael,
by “ The Dunes near Haarlem”; Hobbema, by “The Mill”; Millet,
by “Seamstresses Sewing on Shroud” and “The Drinking Place,”
the latter a pastel; Corot, by “ Nymphs and Fauns”; Troyon, by
'“ Horses at Watering Trough ”; Diaz, by “ Forest of Fontainebleau ”:
Rousseau, by “ Sunset in a Wood”; Daubigny, by “ Springtime ”;
Delacroix, by “ Return of Columbus to Court of Ferdinand ”; Met-
tling, by “ Portrait of a Boy ”; Madame Le Brun, by “ Portrait of a
Lady ”; Herkomer, by a peat of Mr. Slater’s fate and pisee:
by a Eelecape.

To his loan of the previous year, numbering nine paintings by
Raeburn, Romney, Stanfield, Wilson, Flinck, Maes, Guardi, Hogarth,
and Cox, Mr. Ralph Cross Johnson, of Washington, generously added
two fine canvases, a “Portrait of Mrs. Towry,” by Sir Thomas
Lawrence, and “ Portrait of the Duchess of Ancaster,” by Sir Joshua
Reynolds.

58 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911.

Through the courtesy of Mr. T. B. Walker, of Minneapolis, the Gal-
lery has been given the opportunity of exhibiting a large canvas by
Benjamin West, the famous early American painter and one-time
president of the Royal Academy of Arts. It is entitled “ The Rais-
ing of Jairus’ Daughter,’ and was purchased last winter by Mr.
Walker for his private collection.

Seven paintings lent by Mr. and Mrs. Archibald Hopkins, of
Washington, comprise a Russian winter scene, by Alfred von
Kowalski-Wierusz; ‘“ Devotional Reading,” by Karl Wilhelm
Riuber; a portrait of a Dutch lady, attributed to Ravenstein; a land-
scape with cattle, by William Hart; two landscapes, attributed to
Salvatore Rosa; and “Saint Joseph,” attributed to Guercino. Other
loans, all from residents of Washington, were received as follows:
From Miss Murray Ledyard, four paintings, namely, “ Beggar
Boys,” by Murillo; “ Portrait of John R. Murray,” by Gilbert
Stuart; “ Portrait of Col. Nicholas Rogers,” by John Wesley Jarvis;
and “ Farm Yard Scene,” by George Morland. From Mr. Julius A.
Truesdell, four paintings by his brother, the late Gaylord Sangston
Truesdell, entitled “The Shepherd’s Lunch,” “The Wayside
Shrine,” “ After the Rain,’ and “ Changing Pastures.” From Mrs.
John W. Powell, a painting by Thomas Moran, executed in 1878,
entitled “ In the Grand Canyon of the Colorado.” From Dr. Anton
Gloetzner, a painting named “ The Nativity,” attributed to Otho van
Veen.

Of loans mentioned in the last report, nearly all remained on ex-
hibition during the year, the principal ones consisting of the collec-
tions of Mr. Ralph Cross Johnson and Dr. George Reuling, selections
from the Lucius Tuckerman collection, and the historical series by
Edward Moran, deposited by Mr. Theodore Sutro.

Eight paintings belonging to the Evans collection of the Gallery
were lent for exhibition, as follows: “ High Cliff, Coast of Maine,”
by Winslow Homer, to the National Academy of Design, New York,
for the winter exhibition from December 10, 1910, to January 8, 1911,
at which a few representative paintings by this artist were hung
together as a memorial to a fellow member. “The Visit of the Mis-
tress,” by Winslow Homer, to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York, for a memorial exhibition from February 6 to March 19.
“The Siren,” by Louis Loeb, to the Lotos Club, New York, for a
memorial exhibition during the last of January and first of February.
“Plenty,” by Kenyon Cox, to the Art Institute of Chicago for an
exhibition of the works of Mr. Cox, from April 4 to 30. “A Gentle-
woman,” by J. Alden Weir, and “* Depths of the Woods,” by Lilhan
M. Genth, to the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, for the fifteenth

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 59

_ annual exhibition, from April 27 until the end of the fiscal year.

“Musa Regina,” by Henry Oliver Walker, and “ Plymouth Hills,”
by John W. Beatty, to the International Exposition of Art and His-
tory at Rome, Italy, from March 27 to November 1, 1911.

A number of requests for permission to make and publish photo-
graphic reproductions of paintings in the Gallery were granted dur-
ing the year. Some of these reproductions were to be issued in the
form of separate pictures of a high standard of process work, and
others in books and periodicals. In anticipation of such demands, a
set of regulations was formulated, which is designed to restrict the
copying of any work in the Gallery to legitimate art purposes,
whether professional or for the benefit of the public.

ART TEXTILES.

The collection of laces and other art textiles continued to receive
the same hearty support as during the previous two years, and has
now attained such a growth as to make its importance notable. It
occupies the eastern north range in the older Museum building, where
the specimens are installed in table and upright cases and to some
extent on the walls. The collection consists mostly of loans and con-
tains much that is old, rare, and choice—selections generously made
from their treasure stores by many ladies of Washington to assist in
establishing this interesting feature of museum exhibition. There
have been some valuable gifts, and it is hoped that, as the significance
of the collection in stimulating art studies and art work becomes
better understood, it will assume more and more a permanent char-
acter, which is one of the objects sought to be attained. The success
of the movement has been mainly due to the untiring efforts of Mrs.
James W. Pinchot, by whom it was initiated and to whom the
Museum is indebted for important gifts and loans.

The number of accessions during last year was 35, all of which
with three exceptions were loans. They comprised 249 specimens,
and sincé only 21 specimens from previous loans were withdrawn, the
_ total number on exhibition at the end of the year was 1,007.

The loan contributions of laces, aggrégating 107 examples, were
principally as follows: Miss Emily Tuckerman, Venetian rose point,
gros point de Venise, Venetian “seaweed ” lace, point de France et Per-
sonages of Louis XIV, Spanish point, point de Génes, reticella, Alen-
con, early Mechlin, and Italian bobbin; Mrs. Richard G. Lay, Binche,
old Spanish, Argentan, Flemish, Gothic, Mechlin, and. thread; Mrs.
John Cropper, reticella of the seventeenth century, deep points of
reticella of the early seventeenth century which had been used as trim-
mings for a noble’s boot tops, punto in aria, bobbin lace, and Alencon

and Mrs. Julian James, a black Spanish lace mantilla and a Porto
Rican filet handkerchief. A pair of baby’s cuffs of fine Binche was
presented by Mrs. Livingston Hunt.

For the loan of fabrics other than laces acknowledgments are due to
Mrs. H. K. Porter for 22 embroidered bags, nine squares of brocades,
a piece of Gothic velvet, a large piece of old Spanish green brocade,
a green-and-gold brocade stole, and two fragments of old Genoese
velvet; to Mrs. Thomas F. Richardson for an antique Perugian
towel, an Italian chasuble, Spanish gold embroidery, four pieces of

broidered pictures; to Mrs. James W. Pinchot for a cover of a chest
of English stumpwork embroidery of the time of Charles IT, repre-
senting the presentation of the head of John the Baptist to Herod
and his Queen, an embroidered panel from a vestment, and two pic-
tures of St. George and the Dragon in tinsel and color; to Mrs. Al-
fred E. Bates for an Italian cope of dark rose brocade of the seven-
teenth century, two Italian brocade chasubles of the eighteenth cen-
tury, and three examples of antique brocades; to Miss Heggman for
seven brocaded and embroidered bags; to Mrs. Robert de Forest for
two art textile bags; to Mrs. John Jay White for a brocade cope, a
square of brocade, and a Chinese embroidered costume; and to Mr.
N. N. Hekimian for a mosque hanging of blue velvet embroidered in
gold. A table cover of Genoese velvet was received from Mrs. Pin-
chot, and an old Spanish brocade vestment from the mission of San
Xavier del Bac, near Tucson, Arizona, from Maj. George F. Foote,
United States Army (retired), both as gifts.

Miss Emily Tuckerman also deposited a fine silk Persian rug and
three tapestries, consisting of a Verdura, a panel of Flemish weave,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 61

and a large Ferrara; and Mr. George Oakley Totten, jr., lent seven
antique rugs, two of which were from China and five from Asia
Minor, the latter being of Ladik, Bergoman, and Yahdiz weaves in
soft, harmonious shades of color.

Of fans, Mrs. Alfred E. Bates lent 12 of French and Spanish de-
sign, Mrs. Julian James, six of French and Austrian design, Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins, four, and Mrs. Charles D. Walcott, a carved
ivory fan of about 1860. A fan with engraved leaf on which psalms
are printed was presented by Mrs. Livingston Hunt.

Mrs. Thomas F. Richardson added to her collection of rare and
precious objects 14 examples of art work in silver, consisting of boxes,
bangles, clasps, figures, a ring and spoon, an Austrian prayer
book exquisitely bound in repoussé silver and a cloisonné vase;
and Mrs. Alfred E. Bates deposited a miniature, set in pearls and
jet, of Mrs. Morgan, wife of Edwin Dennison Morgan, governor of
New York in 1860.

MISCELLANEOUS.
VISITORS.

During the past year the number of visitors to the older Museum
building was 207,010, a daily average of 661; to the new Museum
building, 151,112, a daily average of 482; and to the Smithsonian
building, 167,085, a daily average of 533. The following tables show,
respectively, the attendance during each month of the past year, and
for each year beginning with 1881, when the older Museum building
was first opened to the public. The relatively small attendance at
the new building last year is accounted for by the fact that in only
a few of the exhibition halls had the installations been sufficiently
advanced for the admission of the public.

PUBLICATIONS.

Nine completed volumes and 116 papers printed separately, de-
scriptive of the collections and activities of the Museum, were issued
during the year. The volumes consisted of the Annual Report for
1910, volumes 37 and 38 of the Proceedings, volume 15 of the Con-
tributions from the National Herbarium, entitled “The North Amer-
ican Species of Panicum,” by A. S. Hitchcock and Agnes Chase, and
five bulletins, as follows: No. 71, “ A Monograph of the Foraminifera
of the North Pacific Ocean, Part II. Textulariide,” by Joseph
Augustine Cushman; No. 73, “An account of the beaked whales of
the family Ziphiide in the collection of the United States National
Museum, with remarks on some specimens in other American mu-
seums,” by Frederick W. True; No. 74, “On some West Indian Kchi-
noids,” by Theodor Mortensen; No. 75, “ North Pacific Ophiurans
in the collection of the United States National Museum,” by Hubert
Lyman Clark; and No. 76, “Asteroidea of the North Pacific and Ad-
jacent Waters, Part I. Phanerozonia and Spinulosa,” by Walter
Kenrick Fisher.

Of the 116 papers issued also in separate form, 110 comprised parts
of volumes 37, 38, and 41, and all of volumes 39 and 40, of the Pro-
ceedings, while 6 belonged to volumes 13 and 14 of the Contributions
from the National Herbarium. Their titles are given in the list of
publications at the end of this report.

The institutions and individuals named in the regular mailing lists
were promptly supplied with the publications of the year, a work

which involved the wrapping and labeling of approximately 88,000
books and separates. About 23,100 copies of these and of earlier pub-
lications were also distributed in response to special applications.

A number of papers on collections belonging to or soon to be
deposited in the Museum were published in the Miscellaneous Col-
lections of the Smithsonian Institution. Six of these, descriptive of
Cambrian geology and paleontology, were by Dr. Charles D. Walcott,
Secretary of the Institution, and were entitled as follows: “ Olenellus
and other genera of the Mesonacide,” “ Pre-Cambrian rocks of the
Bow River Valley, Alberta, Canada,” “Abrupt appearance of the
Cambrian fauna on the North American continent,” “ Middle Cam-
brian Merostomata,” “ Middle Cambrian Holothurians and Me-
duse,” and “Cambrian faunas of China.” The other papers were
“Some results of recent anthropological exploration in Peru,” by
AleS Hrdlicka; “ Descriptions of fifteen new African birds,” and
“ Descriptions of ten new African birds,’ by Edgar A. Mearns;
“New species of rodents and carnivores from equatorial Africa,”
“New species of insectivores from British East Africa, Uganda,
and the Sudan,” and “ Descriptions of seven new species of East
African mammals,” by Edmund Heller; “Two new African ratels,”
by N. Hollister; “ Notes on a horn-feeding lepidopterous larva from
Africa,” by August Busck; “ New landshells from the Smithsonian
African Expedition,” by William Healey Dall; and “ The flying
apparatus of the blow-fly,” by Wolfgang Ritter.

In addition to the oversight of publications through the press, the
editorial office also has charge of the miscellaneous printing, which
has to do chiefly with labels, blanks, and record cards, the labels
forming the principal item.

LIBRARY.

With the addition during the year of 1,911 books, 4,014 pamphlets,
and 202 parts of volumes, the Museum library now contains 40,211
volumes and 66,074 unbound papers. The acquisitions were secured
by purchase, exchange, and gift, among those to whom the library is
especially indebted for donations being the following members and
associates of the Museum staff, namely, Dr. Theodore N, Gill, Dr. C.
W. Richmond, Mr. Robert Ridgway, Mr. J. H. Riley, Dr. William
H. Dall, Dr. Paul Bartsch, Dr. Walter Hough, Mr. William H.
Holmes, Dr. F. H. Knowlton, Dr. O. P. Hay, Mr. J. C. Crawford,
and Mr. D. W. Coquillett.

Eight hundred and seventy-eight books, 1,033 volumes of period-
icals, and 4,181 pamphlets were catalogued, and 809 volumes were
sent to the Government Printing Office for binding. Thirty sectional
libraries are now recognized, one in connection with each of the divi-
sions and principal offices, and to these 4,142 books and papers were
assigned during the year. The number of publications borrowed

from the central library was 23,886, including 5,582 obtained from
the Library of Congress and other libraries. The records of the
library consist of an accession register in book form, a card catalogue
by authors, a card index of periodicals and a lending record also kept
by means of cards.

The quarters occupied by the central library in the old Museum
building have long been greatly overcrowded, and during the year a
thorough overhauling of their contents was begun. Space in ad-
joining galleries was allotted for the purpose and several additional
persons were temporarily employed. The work is expected to be
completed during the current year, and is preliminary to the trans-
fer to the new building of all publications relating to natural history
and anthropology. The present quarters will then furnish sufficient
room for the works on the arts and industries, to which subjects the

older building will be devoted.

PHOTOGRAPHY.

The photographic laboratory was called upon for a somewhat
larger amount of work than usual, as is indicated by the number of
negatives and prints produced. Besides the making of illustrations
for the scientific publications of the Museum, photography was
extensively resorted to for pictorial additions to the catalogues and
other records of the collections in order to insure the identity of
especially valuable objects; and was also used for preparing pictures
for the exhibition halls and for reproducing plans and _ sketches
relating to the buildings and to furniture and other equipment. The
work of the year included the making of 2,330 negatives, 3,906 silver
prints, 2,843 velox prints, 2,299 blue prints, and 102 van dyke prints.

CONGRESSES AND MEETINGS.

The Museum was represented at two important scientific con-
gresses abroad, both of which were held during the summer of 1910.
The first of these was the Eighth International Zoological Congress,
at Gratz, Austria, from August 15 to 20, at which the delegates on
the part of the Museum, as also of the Smithsonian Institution and
the United States Government, were Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles, of
the Bureau of Public Health and Marine-Hospital Service; Mr.
Austin H. Clark, of the Museum staff; Dr. William R. Kellicott, of
Goucher College, Baltimore; and Dr. Herbert Haviland Field, di-
rector of the Concilium Bibliographicum, Zurich, Switzerland. The
other was the second meeting of the Seventeenth International Gon-
gress of Americanists, held in the city of Mexico from September 8
to 14, which was attended by Dr. AleS Hrdlicka, curator of physical
anthropology, as a representative of the Museum, the Institution,
and the Government.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1911. 65

The auditorium in the new building of the Museum was used dur-
ing the year for three meetings and two lectures. The meetings
were those of the First American International Humane Conference,
which also occupied several of the side roams of the adjacent main
hall with an interesting exhibition relating to the objects of the
Congress, from October 10 to 15, 1910; the Twenty-eighth Annual
’ Congress of the American Ornithologists’ Union, from November 15
to 17, 1910; and the annual session of the National Academy of
Sciences, from April 18 to 20, 1911. Dr. Svante August Arrhenius, of
Sweden, director of the Physico-Chemical Department of the Nobel
Institute, delivered a lecture on “The Climate of Planets,” on the
evening of March 25, 1911, under the auspices of The Washington
Academy of Sciences and The Philosophical Society of Washington;
and Sir John Murray, of Edinburgh, Scotland, spoke on the subject
of “ The Ocean,” on the evening of April 18, under the auspices of
The Washington Academy of Sciences.

ORGANIZATION AND STAFF,

On June 1, 1911, Dr. Leonhard Stejneger, curator of reptiles and
batrachians, was appointed head curator of the department of
biology, in succession to Dr. Frederick W. True, who on that date
became assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in charge
of library and exchanges. Doctor Stejneger will also continue in
direct chargé of the division of reptiles and batrachians. Dr. A. D.
Hopkins and Mr. Frederick Knab, both of the Bureau of Ento-
mology of the Department of Agriculture, were made custodians
in the division of insects, the former of the section of forest tree bee-
tles on July 1, 1910, the latter of the section of Culicide on October
26, 1910. Dr. Philip E. Garrison, passed assistant surgeon, United
States Navy, was designated an assistant custodian of the section of
helminthological collections on November 1. Dr. E. O. Wooton
served for a short time during the autumn and winter as an assistant
curator in the division of plants, and Prof. Francis P. Daniels was
temporarily appointed to a corresponding position, beginning June
1G, LO

Dating from June 16 the organization of all the paleontological
collections and work was consolidated in one division, called the
division of paleontology, with Dr. R. S. Bassler as curator. The
three divisions of invertebrate paleontology, vertebrate paleontology,
and paleobotany will hereafter be known as sections. Mr. Chester G.
Gilbert was appointed assistant curator of the division of physical
and chemical geology on April 1, and Mr. Neil M. J udd, an aid in the
division of ethnology on June 20.

The paper gives a description of
the skeletal material collected by
Mr. Gerard Fowke during his ex-”
cavations in central and south-
eastern Missouri.

The material, while in bad con-
dition of preservation, gives some
valuable data and shows a number
of interesting anomalies.

— Contribution to the anthropol-
ogy of Central and Smith Sound
Eskimo.

Anthropological Papers,
Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., V,
Part II, 1910, pp. 177-
280, pls. IX-XXIII.

The paper is based on the ex-
amination of a series of crania
from Southampton Island and the
neighboring regions ; and on a num-

ber of living individuals with a
series of skeletons from Smith '
Sound. The study brought out
numerous interesting conditions
and a number of especially impor-
tant points of morphological signi-
ficance.

The Central, and at least some of
the Smith Sound Eskimos, are
shown to differ in a number of
characteristics, but especially in
their relatively broader head, from
those of Labrador and the more
southern portions of Greenland.
Pronounced modifications in the
size and shape of the facial parts
and also the shape of the cranial
vault become evident as the results
of great development of the tem-
poral and masseter muscles, which
in turn are due to the great amount
of work the jaws are called upon
to perform in mastication, ete.
There is a total absence of caries
of the teeth. The teeth them-
selves are strong and perceptibly
larger than in whites.

A study of a number of skeletons
of individuals who were also ex-
amined or measured when living
resulted in a number of valuable
data, one of which is that the pro-
portions of the different long bones
to the length of the body are dif-
ferent in the Eskimo from what
they are in the whites. The long
bones show but little tendency to-
ward flatness. The humeri are
relatively shorter than they are in
whites, as the result of which the
arms, as a whole, are shorter.
The scapule present a character-
istic and hitherto undescribed
form.

tIn a few instances papers which were published prior to this fiscal year are included,
having been omitted inadvertently from previous Reports.

This memoir is practically a
monograph of the Ziphioid whales
known to occur in the waters of
the United States, no less than 7
species, belonging to 4 genera,
occurring here. Five species are
found on the Atlantic coast and
3 (including 1 of the Atlantic
species) on the Pacific coast of
the United States. The National
Museum is comparatively rich in
material belonging to this group
of rare whales, no less than
8 specimens out of 14 known to
have been taken in North Ameri-
can waters being preserved here.
Of the 3 rare genera, Mesoplodon,
Ziphius, and Berardius, the Na-
tional Museum possesses about
one-fourth of the material at
present available in all the mu-
seums of the world.

The new genus Proisocrinus here-

cies, P. ruberrimus, which is much
the tallest fixed recent crinoid yet

discovered, being slightly over 40

inches high. Its affinities are

clearly with the Pentacrinus mollis
described by P. H. Carpenter in
the Challenger report, but it is un-
certain whether it should be re-
ferred to the Pentacrinitide,

Apiocrinide, Bourgueticrinide, or

Millericrinide.

Marsupites.

Proc. U. 8S. Nat. Mus., 40;
No. 1845, June 24, 1911,
pp. 649-654. ;

The genus Marsupites, known
only as a fossil, is assigned to the
Comatulida; the family Marsupi-
tide, together with the family
Uintacrinide, are placed in the
suborder Comatulida Innatantes,
the remaining comatulids being di-
vided into the 2 suborders Coma-
tulida Oligophreata and Comatu-
lida Macrophreata.

The unique calyx structure of
Marsupites is considered as the
result of its pelagic habits, which
are, for crinoids, very aberrant.

species, and 1 new variety of the
Mesonacide, and_ redefines, de-
seribes, and discusses the known
Olenellus-like trilobites, distribut-
ing them among 10 genera. The
telson of Olenellus is shown to
have resulted from the great de-
velopment of the median spine on
the fifteenth segment and the ab-
sorption of the posterior rudi-
mentary segments and pygidium
of Mesonacis and Pedeumias.

Discusses the pre-Cambrian sedi-

cludes that the strata were depos-
ited in fresh-water lakes having no
connection with the ocean, pro-
poses the term Lipalian era for
the period between the formation
of the Algonkian continents and
the earliest encroachment of the
Lower Cambrian sea, and concludes
that the apparently abrupt ap-
pearance of the Cambrian fauna
is to be explained by the absence
on our present land areas of the
sediments, and hence faunas, of

the Lipalian period.
