REPORT ON THE PROGRESS AND CONDITION
OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM
| FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1921.

By WILLIAM DEC. RAVENEL,

Administrative Assistant to the Secretary,
In charge of the United States 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 opportunity
was afforded, in carrying out the large-minded design of Smithson,
to provide for the custody of the museum of the Nation. To this
new establishment was therefore intrusted the care of the national
collections, a course that time has fully justified.

In the beginning the cost of maintaining the museum side of the
Institution’s work was wholly paid from the Smithsonian income;
then for a time the Government bore a share, and during the past 40
years Congress has voted the entire funds for the expenses of the
Museum, thus furthering one of the primary means “ for the increase
and diffusion of knowledge among men” without encroaching upon
the resources of the Institution.

The museum idea was inherent in the establishment of the, Smith-
sonian Institution, which in its turn was based upon a 10 years’ dis-
cussion in Congress and the advice of the most distinguished scientific
men, educators, and intellectual leaders of the Nation of 75 years
ago. It is interesting to note how broad and comprehensive were the
views which actuated our lawmakers in determining the scope of the
Museum, a fact especially remarkable when it is recalled that at that
date no museum of considerable size existed in the United States,
and the museums of England and of the Continent of Europe were
still to a large extent without a developed plan, although containing
many rich collections. .

The Congress which passed the act of foundation enumerated as
within the scope of the Museum “ all objects of art and of foreign and
curious research and all objects of natural history, plants, and geo-
logical and mineralogical specimens belonging to the United States,”

9

10 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

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 appreciated that additions would be necessary to the col-
lections then in existence, and provision was made for their increase
by the exchange of duplicate specimens, by donations, and by other
means.

Tf 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 pronouncement of the board with reference to the char-
acter of the Museum:

“In obedience to the requirements of the charter, which leaves
little discretion in regard to the extent of accommodations to be
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
required to be included in the Museum, your committee regard its
ethnological 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. * * * In this connexion your committee recommend
the passage of resolutions asking the cooperation of certain public
functionaries and of the public generally in furtherance of the
above objects.

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

“ Specimens of staple materials, of their gradual manufacture, and
of the finished product of manufactures and the arts may also, your

the use of the word ‘‘ charter’ in this connection was not correct.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 11

committee think, be usefully introduced. This would supply oppor-
tunity to examine samples of the best manufactured articles our
country affords, and to judge her gradual progress in arts and manu-
factures..,.:*).*

“The gallery e art, your committee think, should include both
paintings and sculpture, as well as engravings and architectural
designs; and it is desirable to have in connexion with it one or more
studios in which young artists might copy without interruption, be-
ing 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 dur-
ing the sessions of Coongress as an exhibition room for the works of
artists generally; and the extent and general usefulness of such an
exhibit 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; (3) that the history of the
progress of useful inventions and the collection of the raw materials
and products of the manufactures and arts should also be provided
for; (4) for the gallery of art the committee had models in existence,
and they 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 library was long ago assumed by Congress, the
Institution taking upon itself only so much of the necessary responsi-
bility for the administration of these and subsequent additions to its
activities as would weld them into a compact whole, which together

2 Resolved, That it is the chiion of the act of ee es eapiisnine the Tnatitedion:
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 collec-
tions 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 knowl-
edge, to the end that a copious storehcuse 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.

12 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

form a unique and notable agency for the increase and diffusion of
knowledge, for the direction of research, for cooperation with depart-
ments of the Government and with universities and scientific societies
in America, and likewise afford a definite correspondent to all scien-
tific 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 changes in the scope of the
Government museum have 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, and provision for the separate administration of
the National Gallery of Art as a coordinate unit under the Smith-
sonian Institution. From 1906 to 1920 the Gallery was adminis-
tered as the department of fine arts of the Museum.

The development of the Museum has been greatest in those subjects
which the conditions of the past three-quarters of a century 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, of which the fullest advantage has been taken,
but the department or gallery of the fine arts made little progress,
though not from lack of desire or appreciation, until 1906, when cir-
cumstances led to its definite recognition. The historical collections
have been greatly augmented within the past few years by large col-
lections illustrative of the World War, including a comprehensive
series of aircrafts and their accessories.

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 specimens
assembled and their money value, but upon the use to which they are
put. Judged by this standard, the National Museum may claim to
have reached a high state of efficiency. From an educational point
of view it is of great value to those persons who are so fortunate
as to reside in Washington or who are able to visit the Nation’s Capi-
tal. In its well-designated cases, in which every detail of structure,
appointment, and color is considered, a selection of representative
objects is placed on view to the public, all being carefully labeled in-
dividually and in groups. The child as well as the adult has been

can be seen here supplementing their class-room games or studies.
Under authority from Congress the small colleges and higher grades
of schools and academies throughout the land, especially in places
where museums do not exist, are also being aided in their educational
work by sets of duplicate specimens, selected and labeled to meet the
needs of both teachers and pupils.

Nor has the elementary or even the higher education been by any
means the sole gainer from the work of the Museum. To advance
knowledge, to gradually extend the boundaries of learning, has been
one of the great tasks to which the Museum, in consonance with the
spirit of the Institution, has set itself from the first. Its staff, though
chiefly engaged in the duties incident to the care, classification, and
labeling of collections in order that they may be accessible to the
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
numerous publications. But the collections have not been held for the
study of the staff nor for the scientific advancement of those belong-
ing to the establishment. Most freely have they been put at the dis-
posal of investigators connected with other institutions, without
whose help the record of scientific progress based upon the material
in the Museum would have been greatly curtailed. When it is pos-
sible to so arrange, the investigator comes to Washington; otherwise
such collections as he needs are sent to him, whether he resides in this
country or abroad. In this manner practically every prominent
specialist throughout the world interested in the subjects here well
represented has had some use of the collections and thereby the Na-
tional Museum has come to be recognized as a conspicuous factor in
the advancement of knowledge wherever civilization has a foothold.

OPERATIONS OF THE YEAR.
APPROPRIATIONS.

The maintenance and operations of the National Museum for the
fiscal year from July 1, 1920, to June 30, 1921, were provided for by
the following amounts appropriated in the sundry civil bill ap-
proved June 5, 1920, and in the first and second deficiency bills ap-
proved on March 1 and June 16, 1921, respectively :

The item for preservation of collections, from which are paid the
administrative, scientific, preparatorial, and clerical staff, the watch,
labor, and cleaning force, and the cost of all preservatives, has re-
mained at $300,000 from 1911 until the present time. The additional
$12,620 this year was given for the extension of the service to cover
an additional building—the Freer Gallery of Art—for which it pro-
vided watchmen, cleaners, and clerical help and the necessary mis-
cellaneous supplies needed in connection therewith. It afforded no
cessation of the strictest economy by means of which only is it pos-
sible to continue the operations of the Museum. Present conditions
can perhaps best be realized when it is mentioned that 10 years ago
the item of $300,000 was considered insufficient to cover the needs of
the Museum in these lines. Within this half decade, with its tre-
mendous decrease in the purchasing power of the dollar, over 3,000,000
specimens have been added to the collections, the scope of the Museum
has been materially enlarged, and an additional building has been
added to the Museum group, aside from the Freer Gallery. The
appropriation alone has remained stationary.

During this period increases have been granted, however, in the
items for heating and lighting and for printing and binding, owing
to the increased cost of coal and the tremendous increase in the cost
of labor, paper, and other materials used in printing. On the other
hand, even with the greatly extended service, the item for building

16 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

repairs is now $5,000 less that it was 10 years ago, when the Natural
History Building was new and naturally required comparatively
little in the way of repairs. The amount for furniture and fixtures
is likewise $5,000 less than it was for a number of years prior to the
war when prices of labor and material were from 50 to 75 per cent
lower.

Of the $64,202.70 appropriated this year for printing, $37,500 was
the regular item, and $26,702.70 a deficiency item for the completion
during the year of an unusual accumulation of work at the Govern-
ment Printing Office. The Museum printing had for several years
been held back for lack of sufficient available funds.

A comparison of the operating expenses of the United States Na-
tional Museum with museums of similar size and scope in this coun-
try and abroad is extremely interesting, and brings out very strongly
the inadequacy of the appropriations, especially with reference to the
salaries paid to all classes of its employees. The scientific staff is
paid from 40 to 50 per cent less than scientific men of the same grade
in similar museums elsewhere.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT.

The Aircraft Building was opened to the public on October 7, 1920,
whereby the Museum added about 14,000 square feet of fioor space to
its exhibition halls. This metal structure, erected by the War De-
partment on the Smithsonian Reservation in 1917 for the use of the
United States Signal Service, was transferred to the custody of the
Smithsonian after the close of the war. In it has been assembled a
collection of aircraft and accessories in production during the war
period,

In the upkeep of the buildings the more important work performed
in the Natural History Building included the construction of a locker
room for the engineer force at the east entrance, ground floor; the
painting of the ceiling and side walls of the corridor and the rooms
in the east hall, ground floor, and of the corridor around the south,
east, and west sides of the auditorium; the laying of cork flooring
in the west and northwest ranges, ground floor; installing rubber
interlocking tile flooring in two elevators at the north entrance; and
the painting of all concrete floors in corridors of the west hall,
ground floor; also, the painting of the exterior surfaces of all metal
window frames on the first and second floors and the wooden frames
and sashes on the ground and third floors, and the preparation of the
east court and planting the same with lawn grass.

In the Arts and Industries Building the interior work included
the pointing up and painting of walls and ceilings in several exhibi-
tion halls and office rooms and, in the latter, the replacing of worn-
out floors with new ones of pine. On the exterior, the snow brakes

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 7

on the roofs were repaired, the roofs painted, and a beginning made
of painting the exterior woodwork of all windows of the building.
On the Smithsonian Building the only work of importance was the
painting of the exterior woodwork of the windows in the east end.

When the Freer Building was planned, arrangements were made to
procure heat, light, and power from the central heating plant, which
the Institution was assured would be in a position to supply the same
before needed. In the absence of such service, however, the Freer
Gallery was connected with the Museum power plant, which necessi-
tated the operation of the old boilers in the Arts and Industries
Building during the coldest portion of the heating season. During
this year the use of bituminous coal in these boilers was made possi-
ble by the removal of the old flat grates and the installation of hand-
operated stokers. The antiquated blow-off valve combination on the
boilers in the Natural History Building was also replaced.

Though the winter was a comparatively mild one, heat was fur-
nished the buildings from October 6, 1920, to May 20, 1921, with a
consumption of 3,224 tons of coal. While the cheapest grade is used,
the cost of coal averaged $9.59 a ton. At one time it reached $10.70 a
ton, about three times the contract price of 1916. The amount of
electric current generated was 367,875 kilowatt hours, at a cost of
3.285 cents a kilowatt hour. The ice plant, in operation for 4,017
hours, produced 324.7 tons of ice, supplying all the buildings under
the Smithsonian Institution on the Mall. The increasing demand
for ice will necessitate a new machine within a few years.

The power plant remained shut down during July and August,
1920, and from June 4 to 30, 1921. It is more economical to purchase
needed electric current than to operate the Museum plant, since cur-
rent can be bought during the summer months at 2} cents a kilowatt
hour by Government departments owning generating plants. This
closing down of the plant permits also its operation during the year
with fewer men—as the employees then take the greater portion of
their leave—and allows a general overhauling of the machinery,
obviating trouble during the heating season.

Less trouble was experienced during the year than in the past
four years in procuring the necessary labor, and for the first time in
several years all of the men employed met the civil-service require-
ments. While the quality of service rendered was not as high
standard as desired, it proved fairly satisfactory. This can be read-
ily understood when it is considered that the salaries of the assistant
engineers and electricians are from 75 to 90 per cent less than those
paid in private business in Washington.

18 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, i921.

There were acquired during the year 62 exhibition cases (50 steel
and 12 wooden), and 165 pieces of storage, laboratory and office fur-
niture. Of the exhibition cases, 12 were made in the Museum, the
other 50 transferred to the Museum by the Department of the In-
terior, having been used at the Panama-Pacific International Ex-
position at San Francisco in 1915.

Of the 165 pieces of storage, laboratory and office furniture, 96
pieces were manufactured in the Museum workshops and 69 were
purchased. It is becoming more and more the policy of the Museum
to manufacture its own furniture, as in most cases 1t can be done
more economically, owing to the difference in the cost of labor.

At the close of the fiscal year, there were on hand 3,647 exhibition
cases and bases and 11,508 pieces of storage, laboratory and office
furniture. In addition to these, there were 46,650 wooden unit
drawers, 4,712 metal unit drawers, 1,047 wooden unit boxes, 224
double unit boxes, and 11.244 insect drawers; also 752 winged frames,
5,885 special drawers with paper bottoms, and 11,445 special drawers
with compo bottoms.

COLLECTIONS.

The total number of specimens acquired by the Museum during the
year was approximately 338,120. Received in 1,730 separate acces-
sions, they were classified and assigned as follows: Anthropology,
3,824; zoology, 196,077; botany, 55,436; geology, mineralogy, and
petrology, estimated, 21,772; paleontology, estimated, 50,000; textiles,
wood, medicine, foods, and other miscellaneous organic products,
943; mineral technology, 466; mechanical technology, 162; graphic
arts, 2,296; and history, 7,144.

Additional material, to the extent of 794 lots, mainly geological,
was received for special examination and report. While this free de-
termination of material sent in from all parts of the country requires
considerable time on the part of specialists, it is not without advan-
tage to the Museum in furnishing occasional desirable specimens and
in recording new localities.

About 25,000 specimens were sent out in exchange, for which the
Museum received much valuable material specially desired for the
collections. .

The distribution of specimens for educational work was broadened
this year to include objects from the department of anthropology.
Of the 6,000 specimens distributed as gifts in aid of education dur-
ing the period of this report, over 5,000 were comprised in classified
and. labeled sets of specimens prepared for schools and colleges,
nearly 2,000 being ores and minerals. The other subjects represented
were rocks, rock weathering and soil formation, mollusks, marine in-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 19

vertebrates, fishes, birds and birds’ eggs, insects, pottery, basketry,
and prehistoric implements. Another 10,000 specimens left the Mu-
seum temporarily as loans to students and investigators in many fields
of science. ;

The reports of the head curators in the natural history departments
and of the curators in the other branches of the museum, beginning on
page 39, give in detail the additions to and the work upon their
collections during the year.

FREER COLLECTIONS.

In the 1920 report it was noted that the building for the Freer
collections was nearing completion and the collections were being
shipped to Washington from Detroit. On April 31, 1921, the final
work in the construction of the building was completed by the George
A. Fuller Co., and the structure was formally transferred to the
Smithsonian Institution, being accepted on May 3, 1921, just four
years and seven months after ground was broken for its erection.
That this result was not reached earlier, as was anticipated at the be-
ginning, was largely due to unforeseen delays incident to the World
War, but the work was at all times conducted with that deliberation
and attention to details necessary to stability and permanency of
structure, and these it is believed have been obtained. Planned with
special reference to accommodating a collection whose various units
were known and of affording unusual facilities for study and re-
search, the building is an object of art in itself and is bound to become
a mecca for art lovers from all over the world.

This year witnessed also the construction, under the officer in
charge of public buildings and grounds, of the driveways and walks
leading to the Freer Gallery and the seeding of the land immedi-
ately surrounding it, which has now been brought up to the standard
of the balance of the Smithsonian Reservation.

During the summer and autumn of 1920 the remaining portions
of the Freer collections were brought to Washington from Detroit
and stored in the building. The work of unpacking and installing
the specimens was begun in the late autumn, under the able direction
of Miss Katharine N. Rhoades, who had been associated with Mr.
Freer in their care for some years. It is anticipated that some time
must elapse before the exhibits are all in readiness and the halls can
be opened to visitors.

In December, 1920, Mr. John E. Lodge, curator of the department
of Chinese and Japanese art in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts,
was appointed curator of the Freer Gallery and placed in charge.
The Freer Gallery is being administered as an independent unit of
the National Gallery of Art, but the heating, lighting, and guarding
of the building continues to be carried on in connection with the

20 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

National Museum system, since the Freer Gallery is dependent upon
the Museum plant for heat, light, and power.

LOEB COLLECTION OF CHEMICAL TYPES,

Practically no progress was made this year in establishing the
Loeb collection of chemical types owing to the difficulty experienced
in moving to Washington the steel storage cabinet and other prop-
erty purchased from the Morris Loeb fund, and which are still in
the library of the Chemists’ Club of New York City.

Numerous specimens for the type collection have been promised
and will be turned over to the National Museum as soon as the
storage cabinet, especially built to protect delicate specimens from
deterioration, has been received and installed in its permanent place.

COOPERATION OF THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS.

Belonging as it does to the Nation, the National Museum receives
important assistance from other governmental agencies. Particularly
was this true during the fiscal year 1921. Credit is due to the Navy
Department for transporting and installing in the Museum building
many attractive exhibits in the World War collections; to the War
Department for similar service, including the detail to the Museum
of one officer for several months; to the Departments of Agriculture,
Commerce, and the Interior and the Bureau of American Ethnology
for many valuable contributions of specimens and much assistance
in classifying and labeling objects in the Museum; to the Interior
Department also for transferring exhibition cases no longer needed
by it; and to the Post Office Department for large series of postage
stamps.

This cooperation is not entirely one-sided. The Museum renders
aid to the executive departments whenever possible, as evidenced
by the work of Dr. AleS Hrdlicka for the Department of Justice, by
which over a million of dollars in land and money was saved for the
Indians.

PARTELLO REQUEST.

Under the terms of the will of Dwight J. Partello, who died on
August 13, 1920, the Museum is bequeathed his collection of musical
instruments, bows, and cases, gathered during many years of collect-
ing, 87 paintings, a gold and silver box or casket presented to Mr.
Partello by the Czar of Russia, and a diploma and medal awarded
him for his exhibit of violins at the Chicago Exposition in 1893.
The unique collection illustrating the Italian school of violins is well
known and of great intrinsic value. It numbers 25 instruments
of the violin family, made by the best masters in pure construction,
including Amati, Stradavari, Bergonzi, Guarnerius, and others. At
the end of the fiscal year Mr. Partello’s estate had not been settled.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 21

The present tendency of museums to aid-in the appreciation of the
art of music, as evidenced by the lecture-recitals and concerts, now
forming a regular feature in many museums of the country, makes it
incumbent upon the National Museum to administer this collection
so as best to benefit the public. The Museum has already a large
and diversified collection of the musical instruments of both aborigi-
nal and civilized peoples, exhibited under such conditions at present,
however, that its true value can not be appreciated. It is expected
that a better installation can be provided when more space becomes
available which will undoubtedly lead to additional contributions
needed to fill existing gaps.

VISITORS.

As customary the Museum exhibition halls were open free to the
public from 9 a. m. to 4.30 p. m. on all week days during the year
(holidays included), with one exception. On May 21, 1921, the
various Museum buildings were closed all day out of respect to the
late Chief Justice Edward: Douglass White, for 10 years a Regent
and for 8 years the Chancellor of the Smithsonian Institution.

The Natural History Building was also opened to visitors every
Sunday afternoon from 1.30 to 4.30. To accommodate strangers in
Washington at inaugural time, this was extended on Sunday, March
6, to all-day service. The exhibition halls in the Smithsonian
Building were likewise open on Sunday afternoon, March 27, to
afford added opportunity for inspecting the collection of exquisite
water-color paintings of wild flowers by Mrs. C. D. Walcott. Sun-
day opening of all the buildings, though highly desirable, will only
be possible when funds are available to provide additional watch-
men and other attendants required.

The number of visitors to the Natural History Building during
the year aggregated 364,281 for week days and 103,018 for Sundays,
being a daily average of 1,167 for the former and 1,981 for the
latter. At the Arts and Industries Building the total attendance
was 286,397, a daily average of 917. The Aircraft Building, opened
to the public for the first time on October 7, 1920 (though subse-
quently closed from October 14 to November 3, to permit of the
installation of a naval airplane) had an attendance of 31,235, an
average of 147 persons daily. The total attendance in the Smith-
sonian Building on week days was 90,097, an average of 288, and on
the one Sunday 138.

The following tables show, respectively, the attendance of visitors
during each month of the past year, and for each year since 1881,
when the building devoted to arts and industries was first occupied.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 23
PUBLICATIONS.

The publications of the year comprised 9 volumes and 60 separate
papers. The former consisted of the Annual Report of the Museum
for 1920 and Bulletins Nos. 106 (plates), 109, 110, 111, 112, 115,
116, and 117.

Of the 60 papers issued in separate form, three were parts of volume
1 of Bulletin 100; one part of Bulletin 104; one part of volume 20,
three of volume 22, and one of volume 23, “Contributions from the
United States National Herbarium”; while five were from volume
57, twenty-nine from volume 59, and seventeen from volume 59 of the
Proceedings.

In addition to the Museum publications, many contributions based
on material in its collections were printed by other bureaus of the
Government. All of the publications above referred to are cited
in the bibhography forming part of this report. The editorial office,
besides supervising the printing of the Museum publications, also has
charge of all miscellaneous printing and binding.

The distribution of volumes and separates to libraries and indi-
viduals on the regular lists aggregated 75,546 copies, in addition to
which some 13,367 copies of the publications of last and previous
years were supplied in response to special applications.

LIBRARY.

The library of the Museum is assembled almost exclusively with
reference to the working up of the collections, and embraces a wide
range of subjects in the sciences and arts, owing to the exceptional
diversity of the specimens. The main library is housed in the Natural
History Building, while the publications on the useful arts are pro-
vided for in the Arts and Industries Building. Moreover, each of
the divisions and principal offices has its own sectional library, con-
sisting of the books relating wholly to its subject, which are with-
drawn from the main branches and so distributed in order to facili-
tate the progress of the work. The use of the library and its sections
is not, however, restricted to members of the staff, being extended
to all properly qualified persons, and this privilege is extensively
availed of by the Government scientific bureaus and other establish-
ments in Washington.

The increment during the year, largely obtained through gift and
exchange, amounted to 2,041 completed volumes and 2,719 pamphlets,
increasing the number of books in the library to 150,067, of which
58,658 are bound volumes and 91,409 pamphlets and unbound papers.

The most important single acquisition to the geological section
of the library since the foundation of the department in 1880 was
received this year in the gift through Mrs. Francis D. Cleveland of

24 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

the library of her brother, the late Dr. Joseph Paxson Iddings, com-
prising upward of 1,000 books and pamphlets, chiefly on geological
subjects. Doctor Iddings, as is well known, was one of America’s
leading petrologists, and his 40 years’ accumulation of author’s ex-
cerpts in this branch of science was unusually large.

PHOTOGRAPHIC LABORATORY.

In illustrating Museum objects, largely for reproduction in the
publications and in copying plans, diagrams, etc., required in con- -
nection with the work of the Museum, there were made in the photo-
graphic laboratory during the year 1,954 negatives, 11,267 black and
white prints, 42 bromide enlargements, 162 panoramas, and 144 lan-
tern slides, besides developing 467 field negatives and mounting
1,008 prints. A number of improvements in the apparatus and
equipment make it much easier to handle the work in the laboratory.

MEETINGS AND CONGRESSES.

As customary the National Academy of Sciences held its annual
meeting in the Natural History Building of the Museum on April
25, 26, and 27, 1921, using the auditorium for the scientific sessions,
open to the public, on the afternoon and evening of the 25th, and
on the morning and afternoon of the 26th; while the adjoining
committee room, No. 42-48, was used for the business meetings ex-
tending through the forenoon of the 27th.

The National Research Council used the auditorium on the even-
ing of February 21, 1921, for a lecture by Dr. C. H. Herty on funda-
mental chemistry, illustrated by a small exhibit displayed in the ad-
joining foyer.

To afford the many men and women throughout the country in-
terested in venereal disease control work an opportunity of hearing
lectures by leading authorities on the subject, the Bureau of Public
Health Service, Treasury Department, conducted an Institute on
Venereal Disease Control in the auditorium and committee rooms,
from November 22 to December 4, including motion-picture demon-
strations on the evenings of November 26 and 29 and December 1,
and a meeting of the American Association of Women in Public
Health on the evening of November 24. Rooms 45 and 46 and the

26 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

auditorium lobby were devoted to the accompanying exhibits. The
institute was followed by an All-American Conference on Venereal
Diseases, held in Washington from December 6 to 11, 1920, the large
public meetings being in the Museum auditorium, while rooms 44
and 45 were given over to registration, exhibits, etc.

For showing moving pictures of various subjects the Public Health
Service also had the use of the auditorium on the afternoon of
November 12 and on the mornings of January 31, March 9, 10, and
25, and of rooms 42-43 for a noontime meeting on February 21.

The Department of Agriculture, because of its proximity, made
frequent use of the facilities afforded by the Museum. On the even-
ing of March 21, four Department of Agriculture motion pictures
were shown to an audience composed principally of department em-
ployees. The auditorium was again used on the afternoon of March
2, when the Southern Commercia] Congress presented to the Depart-
ment of Agriculture a replica of the painting by Szeldaties of the late
David Lubin, the founder of the International Institute of Agricul-
ture, with headquarters at Rome, Italy, under which 53 nations were
federated. Mr. Lubin, from the time of the organization until his
death, was the American delegate appointed by the State Department.
The leadership of Mr. Lubin in directing the activities of the South-
ern Commercial Congress resulted in the Federal farm loan act and
other vital State and Federal legislation relating to the economic
stability of the country. Through his creative genius he federated
the world, based on agriculture, and it was the only tie that held
during the World War. The Internationa] Institute of Agriculture
was the only international body where the belligerent countries did
not recall their delegates. Dr. Clarence J. Owens, director general
of the Southern Commercial Congress, presided at the meeting and
made the presentation. Other speakers were the Hon. Edwin T.
Meredith, Secretary of Agriculture; Hon. D, N. Fletcher, of Florida;
Hon. James Duval Phelan and Hon Julius Kahn, of California; and
the Italian ambassador, Senator Vittorio Rolandi Ricci, who spoke
in his native tongue, being interpreted by Madame Olivia Rossetti
Agresti, secretary to David Lubin. A message from the King of
Italy was read at the meeting.

For the benefit of the members of the department’s staff who
missed this opportunity to hear Madame Agresti, a special lecture
by this interesting speaker was arranged in the auditorium on the
evening of April 14, when she spoke on international economic
problems.

The Federal Horticultural Board held an all-day meeting in Room
42-43 on December 20, to consider the advisability of restricting
importation of fruits and vegetables in raw or unmanufactured state
from Cuba, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Canal Zone, India, Philippines,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 27

etc., on account of the citrus black fly. On May 16 and 17 the
board had the auditorium for an important conference of person’ in-
terested in the cotton industry with reference to damage threatened
by the pink boll worm.

The Forest Service had the auditorium on four forenoons—on
January 25 and February 16, for general meetings of the employees
of the service, for showing lantern slides; on March 25, for a meet-
ing of employees in connection with official work; and on June 10,
for a meeting of employees to dedicate a memorial tablet in memory
of the 19 employees of the Forest Service who lost their lives in the
World War, the presentation being made by Mr. Herbert A. Smith,
and the address of acceptance by Lieut. Col. William B. Greeley,
Forester and Chief of the Forest Service. Music was furnished by
the band of the Third United States Cavalry from Fort Myer. This
Italian renaissance tablet of Sienna marble, following closely the
style of certain old tablets in Italian cathedrals, is believed to be
the only work of its kind in America.

The Bureau of Plant Industry showed motion-picture films to the
scientific staff of the bureau in the auditorium on the afternoon of
November 18, and held its phytopathological seminar in room 42-43
on the afternoon of March 10.

States Relations Service used the auditorium on three occasions,
as follows: On the morning of November 17 and on the afternoon
of April 13, for showing motion and stereopticon pictures relating to
its activities, to the employees of the service, and on the forenoon of
May 28, for an illustrated lecture by Dr. B. Sjollema, of the Veteri-
nary University of Utrecht, the Netherlands, on some of the unique
features of the agriculture of his country. The Potomac Garden
Club, cooperating with the United States Department of Agricul-
ture, held its annual meeting there on the evening of January 17.

The members of the staff of the Bureau of Markets were called to-
gether in the auditorium on the afternoon of September 24, and an
all-day conference of United States game wardens, under the au-
spices of the Biological Survey, occupied room 42-43 on January 6.

Twice was the auditorium at the disposal of the Army Medical
School—on the afternoon of November 17, 1920, for a lecture by
Dr. Hideyo Noguchi, of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Re-
search, delivered before the student officers of the school and members
of the Medical Corps of the Army on duty in Washington, and on the
afternoon of May 26, for the closing exercises of the 1920-21 session
of the school.

On April 21 Mr. D. F. Garland, on behalf of The National Cash
Register Co., demonstrated welfare work to a group of employees
of the Post Office Department. Other governmental agencies making

28 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921,

use of the meeting facilities were the Commission of Fine Arts, on
January 20 and 21, and the Federal Board of Vocational Education
on June 13.

The eleventh annual meeting of the American Farm Economic
Association occupied the auditorium and committee room with after-
noon and evening sessions on December 30, morning and afternoon
sessions on December 31, and a morning session on January 1. On
December 30 room 42-43 was utilized for a conference of representa- .
tives of national organizations engaged in rural social work with
day and evening sessions.

The annual convention of the Northern Nut Growers’ Association
convened in the auditorium, with morning and evening sessions on
October 7, and morning and afternoon sessions on October 8, and an
exhibit of nuts and mats in room 42-48.

The American Institute of Architects was granted the auditorium,
committee rooms, and the central portion of the foyer for the fifty-
fourth annual convention of the institute, from May 11 to 13, and
the Second National Architectural Exhibition, from May 12 to 19,
inclusive, for the purpose of promoting and encouraging a wider
public interest in architecture. In connection with this convention
the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture met in room
42-43, on May 9 and 10, with an evening session in the auditorium
on the latter date. The sessions of the institute included, besides
meetings each day in the auditorium and room 42-48, one evening ses-
sion in the auditorium on May 11 and a morning session on May 14 in
room 42-43, The exhibition was inaugurated with a formal view
on the evening of May 12, when the foyer and north lobby were
opened to the invited guests of the institute and the public from
8.30 to 11 p.m. The drawings, photographs, etc., of this collection
were installed on temporary floor screens placed either side and down
the central portion of the foyer. A number of the exhibits of the war
collections were inclosed by the screens, some of the cases being moved
between the piers, and screens built on either side of them. The
walls in the auditorium lobby were also used for exhibiting drawings
and photographs, and a special exhibit belonging to the Architects’
Small House Service Bureau, of Minnesota, was installed on portable
screens against the south wall of the north lobby, either side of the
entrance to the foyer.

The twelfth annual convention of the American Federation of
Arts convened in Washington on May 18, 19, and 20, 1921. The
afternoon session on the 18th was held in the Museum auditorium
and was devoted to the general subject of art and the people. It
was opened with a demonstration by Mr. Ross Crane. of the Better
Homes Institute of the Art Institute of Chicago, of “ Art in the
home.” The stage was set as a living room, with mantel, windows,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 29 |

and doors; and the furniture, lent by one of the local dealers, was
brought in piece by piece until the room was complete. Thus was
shown how the Better Homes Institute, by the use of stage set and
actual objects of everyday use, is demonstrating to the people of
the Middle West the relation of art to life, creating a popular de-
mand for better art in house furnishings and helping to induce a
larger market for industrial art products. Mr. Allen Eaton, of
the Sage Foundation, spoke on “ Pictures for the schoolroom,” ex-
hibiting a number of prints he had selected for a schoolroom print
exhibition for circulation by the federation. Mr. L. M. Churbuck,
director of the art department of the Massachusetts State Fair, pre-
sented an excellent paper on “ Art in State fairs.” Miss Mary Powell,
of the art department of the St. Lowis Public Library, presented
the subject, “Art in the public library,” and Mr. John L. Braun,
president of the Philadelphia Art Alliance. made a telling plea for
“The alliance of the arts.”

On the evening of the same date the Regents and Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution tendered the members of the federation and
their friends a reception, with a special view of the exhibition of
war portraits in the National Gallery of Art, Dr. Charles D. Wal-
cott, Mrs. Walcott, Mr. Robert W. de Forest, and Mrs. John W.
Alexander receiving the visitors.

This collection, brought together by the National Art Committee,
comprised 2i canvases by American artists, portraits of distinguished
leaders of America and of the Allied Nations during the World War,
and is to form the nucleus for a National Portrait Gallery. As such
it will be shown by the American Federation of Arts in the various
cities of the country before being permanently deposited in Wash-
ington. In planning the circuit it was arranged to have the collec-
tion temporarily in the National Gallery of Art at the time of the
convention for the benefit of the members of the federation.

The main hall of the National Gallery was given over to the por-
trait collection (which was on exhibition from May 5 to May 22),
small portions of the halls of ethnology, to the northeast, being
screened off to display paintings from the Evans collection tempo-
rarily displaced. Opportunity was offered the delegates to see
not only the National Gallery exhibits but also those of the Museum
in other fields, as the foyer and west ranges of the ground floor and
the entire first floor of the building were open for inspection from
8 to 11.

The Madame Curie committee of Washington arranged a meeting
in the auditorium on the evening of May 20, in honor of Madame
Marie Curie, the codiscoverer of radium. Madame Curie was wel-
comed by Secretary Walcott, honorary chairman of the committee,
and by Miss Julia Lathrop, on the part of the women of Washington,

30 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

after which Dr. R. A. Millikan, of the University of Chicago, de-
livered an address on radium. <A large number of floral bouquets,
contributions from local women’s organizations and others, were
presented to Madame Curie. The Museum exhibits on the ground
and first floors were open to inspection during the evening. In con-
nection with Madame Curie’s visit, a special exhibit of radium ores,
radioactive minerals, and radiographs was prepared by the depart-
ment of geology and placed in the main passage of the Art Gallery,
being removed later to a permanent location in the east end of the
mineral hall on the second floor.

Another reception in the Natural History Building, on the even-
ing of October 19, enabled the delegates to the convention of the
American Bankers’ Association, and their friends, to inspect the
exhibition halls, as a part of the program for acquainting the bankers
with governmental activities in Washington.

The American Society of Mammalogists held its annual meeting
in the Museum, with day sessions in room 42-43 on May 2, 3, and 4,
and an evening session on May 2 in the auditorium. At the latter
Mr. Arthur H. Fisher gave a talk on animals in zoological gardens,
illustrated with many wonderful motion pictures recently made in
the National Zoological Park and in the Philadelphia Zoo. From
November 9 to 11 the auditorium was used during the daytime for
the thirty-eighth stated meeting of the American Ornithologists
Union.

Under the auspices of the Geological Society of Washington, Mr.
William T. Lee lectured in the auditorium on November 20, on the
use of aerial photographs in geography. This was illustrated by
stereopticon views of natural scenery and of objects of geographic
interest and of submarine objects as seen from an airplane, and by
a series of motion pictures taken from hydroplanes showing scenes
on the Potomac, the Pacific fleet passing through the Panama Canal,
and scenes along the coast of California.

The regular annual meeting of the Audubon Society of the Dis-
trict of Columbia, held in the hall on the evening of January 26,
featured two illustrated addresses on bird life.

The Washington Academy of Sciences arranged a lecture by Dr.
E. B. Rosa, of the Bureau of Standards, on “ A reorganization of
the civil service,” on the evening of October 21, and, under the
auspices of the Osteopathic Association of the District of Columbia,
Dr. A. G. Hildreth spoke on the evening of November 15 on “ How
to escape insanity and nervous disorders.”

Of timely interest also was a series of evening lectures in the audi-
torium arranged by the School of Foreign Service of Georgetown
University on the “ History and nature of international relations,”

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 84

the principal phases of the history of relations between sovereign
states from the earliest antiquity down to our own day being treated
by acknowledged masters in their respective fields, some of the

The university also had the auditorium on the evening of January
14, when “ The future significance of the Slavic world, and particu-
larly Russia, in economic affairs,” was the topic of short addresses
before the School of Foreign Service by Rev. E. A. Walsh, Mr.
John Hays Hammond, and Mr. Oscar T. Crosby. The Anthropolog-
ical Society of Washington and the Entomological Society of Wash-
ington held their regular meetings of the season in room 42-3,
Natural History Building.

ORGANIZATION AND STAFF.

At the close of the year the Museum organization comprises, besides
an administrative office, 4 scientific and technical departments and
1 independent division, as follows: The department of anthro-
pology, with 4 divisions and 3 sections; the department of biology,
with 9 divisions and 16 sections; the department of geology, with
3 divisions and 8 sections; the department of arts and industries,
with 5 divisions and 4 sections; and the division of history, which,
while independent of these departments, has not yet reached the
dignity of a department. History has one section, making a total of
49 recognized subdivisions of the Museum.

The scientific staff of the Museum consisted of 1 keeper ex officio,
1 director, 3 head curators, 12 curators, 4 honorary curators, 6 asso-
ciate curators, 13 assistant curators, 23 custodians, 4 assistant custo-
dians, 8 aids, 10 associates, 7 collaborators, 1 philatelist, and 1
assistant, a total of 94 persons, of whom less than half received. pay
from the Museum. This by no means represents all the scientific
workers on the collections, for the Museum also has much regular
assistance from employees of various other governmental agencies in
Washington, particularly the Department of Agriculture and the
Geological Survey, in classifying and arranging, and placing on
exhibition the specimens in their respective fields of investigation.

A synopsis of the work attaching to each position in the Museum
was prepared this year and forwarded to the Bureau of Efficiency in
connection with a bill before Congress on the subject of the reclassi-
fication of the employees of the Government.

The changes in organization during the year were numerous. The
National Gallery of Art, which had for a number of years been
administered as the fine arts department of the Museum, became an
independent bureau under the Smithsonian Institution on July 1,
1920, through provision for its separate maintenance in the sundry
civil appropriation act for the year 1921. To the new bureau were
transferred such of the Museum’s collections as had been in the
custody of the curator of the National Gallery of Art, consisting of
paintings, sculptures, and a few miscellaneous pieces. For the present
the gallery continues to be housed in the Natural History Building of
the Museum.

Dr. William H. Holmes severed his connection with the Museum
on July 1, 1920, to become director of the National Gallery of Art,
and carries with him to his larger field the good will of the entire
‘Museum staff. Doctor Holmes has long been associated with the
Institution and Museum. In the latter he served as curator of
aboriginal pottery from 1882 to 1893, as head curator of the depart-
ment of anthropology from its organization in 1897 to 1902, when he

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 33

resigned to become chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology,
returning to the Museum as head curator of anthropology in 1910.
The present excellent condition of the anthropological exhibits is a
monument to his taste and ability. When, in 1906, it became neces-
sary to provide a somewhat definite organization for the department
of fine arts of the Museum, the curatorship of the National Gallery
of Art was tendered to Mr. Holmes and accepted by him, in addition
to his duties at the Bureau of American Ethnology. During all
the intervening time Doctor Holmes has given freely of his time and
strength for the National Gallery without financial return.

Dr. Walter Hough, curator of ethnology, was made acting head
curator of the department of anthropology upon Doctor Holmes’s
resignation.

On July 1, 1920, the division of graphic arts was transferred
from the department of anthropology to that of arts and industries,
where it more properly belongs, and Mr. Ruel P. Tolman was pro-
moted to assistant curator and placed in charge.

At the same time the division of history was removed from the
department of anthropology and made an independent division, re-
porting directly to the administrative assistant in charge of the
Museum. Capt. J. J. Hittinger, of the Quartermaster Corps of the
United States Army, on detail from the War Department to assist
in the installation of the World War collections, severed his associa-
tion with the Museum in December, 1920, upon retirement from the
Department. Captain Hittinger rendered valuable service to the
Museum in this connection. The aid in history, Miss Marie V. Schif-
fer, resigned on August 26, 1920, and Mr. Charles Carey was ap-
pointed an assistant in the division on November 2, 1920, giving
special attention to the World War collections.

In line of better administration, the collections of mollusks were
removed from the division of marine invertebrates on February 1,
1921, and the division of mollusks was reestablished, with Dr. Paul
Bartsch in charge as curator, and Mr. Waldo L. Schmitt was ad-
vanced to be curator of the division of marine invertebrates. The
rotatoria and the helminthological collections went with the divi-
sion of mollusks. Mr. Charles R. Shoemaker was promoted from
aid to assistant curator in marine invertebrates on March 16, 1921,
and Miss Pearl L. Boone’s connection as aid in that division ceased
on April 7, 1921.

Mr. Carl W. Mitman, curator of mechanical technology, was
appointed curator also of mineral technology and placed in
charge, with the title “curator, divisions of mineral and mechanical
technology.” He will be aided by an assistant curator in each of
the divisions. Mr. Mitman’s early connection with the Museum

was with the collections of mineral technology, of which he was
aid and later assistant curator. The aid in mechanical technology,
Miss Barbara E. Bartlett, resigned in October, being succeeded on
April 1, 1921, by Mr. Paul E. Garber.

Beginning May 1, 1921, Mr. Neil M. Judd, curator of American
archeology, was granted leave of absence for five months to con-
duct explorations for the National Geographic Society, and Mr.
John L. Baer was appointed acting curator for the period.

Mrs. Lucile Simpson Stelle, aid in paleobotany, resigned on July
31, 1920, and Miss Jessie G. Beach, having met the civil-service
requirements, was promoted from the position of typist to that of
aid in paleontology on October 16, 1920. Mr. Ellsworth P. Killip,
who at the beginning of the year was serving a temporary appoint-
ment as aid in the division of plants, was given permanent status as
such on August 27, 1920.

The combination of the property office and the shipping office
effected August 1, 1919, was discontinued August 1, 1920, the two
offices being separated, Mr. W. A. Knowles remaining in charge of the
former as property clerk, and Mr. L. E. Perry taking over the latter as
shipper.

On November 12, 1920, in recognition of his activity in building up
the collection of pianos in the Museum, Mr. Hugo Worch was given
an honorary appointment as custodian of musical instruments. Other
honorary members added to the staff during the year were Dr. Whit-
man Cross, as associate in petrology, on October 19, 1920; Dr. David
Starr Jordan, as associate in zoology, on January 13, 1921; Mr. Max
M. Ellis, collaborator in marine invertebrates, April 25, 1921; and
Mr. W. L. McAtee, acting custodian of Hemiptera, on December 21,
1921.

Under the provisions of the retirement act of May 22, 1920, the
Museum was deprived of the services of five members of its force in
August, 1920, all of whom had reached the age limit and three had
had over 30 years of service each. They were Miss 8. E. Latham,
and Messrs. A. B. Thorne, W. O. Stricker, W. H. Haney, and D. R.
Jameson.

The Museum lost by death during the year Dr. J. P. Iddings, asso-
ciate in petrology; Messrs. Nelson R. Wood and William Palmer,
taxidermists; and Mr. T. W. Reese, watchman.

NECROLOGY.

Dr. Joseph Paxson Iddings, associate in petrology, died on
Wednesday morning, September 8, 1920. Although not actively en-
gaged in museum work, Professor Iddings’s connection with the de-
partment of geology of the Museum was of more than ordinary im-
portance. He was one of the most widely and favorably known of

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 85

American petrologists, and took a deep interest in the development
of this particular branch of the science. His large collections of
volcanic rocks, made during his extensive trips throughout the prin-
cipal volcanic districts of the world, were installed among the collec-
tions of the Museum, where they remain accessible for reference and
study, and form an important addition to the already large series
of studied material in the department.

During the early portion of his career, from 1880 to 1895, Doctor
Iddings was connected with the United States Geological Survey,
and was the author of several publications of importance by that
organization. Among the most important may be mentioned :

The Obsidian Cliffs of the Yellowstone National Park.

On the Development of Crystallization in Igneous Rocks.

On a Group of Volcanic Rocks from the Tewan Mountains.

The Microscopic Petrography of the Eruptive Rocks of the Eu-
reka District of Nevada.

The Eruptive Rocks of Electric Peak and Sepulchre Mountains,
and the chapters on petrography in part 2 of the monograph of
the Yellowstone National Park.

His best known personal publications are his translation of H.
Rosenbusch’s Physiography of the Rockmaking Minerals (1898) ;
Rock Minerals (1906) ; Igneous Rocks, 2 volumes (1909) ; and The
Problem of Vulcanism (1914). He was also one of the most active
and influential of the authors of the Quantitative Classification of
Igneous Rocks (1903). A striking feature of his work was his
accuracy and careful attention to detail.

From 1895 to 1908 he was professor of petrology in the Univer-
sity of Chicago, since which time he lived for the most part at Brink-
low, Md., devoting himself largely to private work, and particularly
to the petrology of the Pacific and South Sea Islands.

He was a man of broad culture, dignified and gentlemanly bear-
ing, and his loss will be everywhere most deeply felt.

By the death of Mr. N. R. Wood, on November 8, 1920, the Na-
tional Museum lost one of its most skilled preparators, a man well
known over the country as the most expert of bird taxidermists. Mr.
Wood was born in New York State in 1852. When about 27 years
of age he was employed by Ward’s natural history establishment at
Rochester, N. Y. Here, for the first time, his work was congenial and
he made rapid advances in the general work which was assigned
him. It was soon observed that he was especially interested in the
mounting of birds, at which he would work in his own time after
hours, and he was assigned as assistant to their best bird taxidermist.
Deficient in natural mechanical ability, it was only after the most per-
sistent effort that he finally reached the point where he could make

36 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

the bird skin take the form which he had mentally determined to be
the natural and best position. While at Ward’s establishment he made
advances in the methods, but it was not until he had been in the
National Museum for some time that he was at his best. His work
on dry skins and dismounting and remounting old birds was per-
fected here. )

Mr. Wood came to the Museum in 1888, and at first was employed
to assist Mr. William T. Hornaday in taking care of the live animals
in the shed adjoining the Smithsonian Building—the beginning of
the National Zoological Park collections. After a little time he began
to mount birds for the Chicago Exposition, and his work won the
approval of Mr. Robert Ridgway, and when there was a vacancy in
bird taxidermy he was placed there and continued in this work until
his death. ;

In years to come, as now, Mr. Wood will be known by his fine work
displayed in the mounted bird collection on exhibition in this Museum.
The hawks and owls, parrots, and game birds, the greater number
remounted by him, show the quality of his work and point to the
loss which the Museum has sustained in his death.

William Palmer, for many years a valued member of the Museum
force, died in New York City on April 8, 1921. He was born at
Penge, England, August 1, 1856, and came to this country with
his father, the late Joseph Palmer, in 1868. The elder Palmer
became connected with the Museum in 1873 as its preparator, and
was particularly skillful in all matters pertaining to modeling,
casting, the coloring of reproductions, and taxidermy. William
Palmer, under the tutelage of his father, became, in time, equally
adept in these subjects. He joined the Museum force in 1874 as
an assistant to his father. In 1883 he was sent to New Haven,
Conn., to prepare the large models of the giant squid and octopus
exhibited at the Great International Fisheries Exhibition in London,
and later transferred here, where they, and many other examples of
his art, still remain. With Messrs. Lucas and Scollick, of the
Museum force, he went to Newfoundland, in the spring of 1903, and
took part in the preparation of a mold and skeleton of a 78-foot
sulphur-bottom whale. A year later he accompanied Dr. G. P.
Merrill to the State of Sinaloa, Mexico, for the purpose of making a
mold of the great Bacubarito meteorite.

Mr. Palmer was an excellent general naturalist, and was par-
ticularly well versed in the local fauna and flora, in which he had
specialized for many years. He began a collection of birds in
the spring of 1874, which in time became a very important one,
and contained many local rarities and records, some of which are
still unique. in the course of his ornithological work he had the

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. ot

distinction of adding two species of birds to the known avifauna of
this continent, in addition to describing several previously unrecog-
nized subspecies.

Palmer’s skill and knowledge as a natural history collector caused
him to be detailed on various expeditions where the best results
were required, and in this capacity he visited Funk Island in 1887
with Doctor Lucas in a very successful search for remains of the
extinct great auk. In 1890 he was detailed to make collections on
the Pribilof Islands, and in 1900, 1902, and 1916 to visit Cuba. He
accompanied Mr. Owen Bryant on a very productive collecting
expedition, though one fraught with numerous privations, to western
Java, in 1909 and 1910. In the aggregate, he collected many
thousands of specimens of animals and plants, as well as fossil
remains and miscellaneous material, not only on official expeditions
but on those prosecuted on his own account, and most of this material
has found its way into the National Museum series over a long period
of years. By the terms of his will, Mr. Palmer has also bequeathed
his private collection of birds to the Museum.

In recent years Mr. Palmer had become much interested in
vertebrate fossil remains in the deposits at the Calvert Cliffs, near
Chesapeake Beach, Md., and made many trips there in search of
material, both officially, and in his own time. He was engaged
in studies of cetacean remains from this locality at the time of
his death.

Mr. Palmer was a Fellow of the American Ornithologists’ Union,
a member of several scientific socities, and the author of over 50
papers and notes on ornithological and other biological subjects,

REPORTS ON THE COLLECTIONS.
REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.
By WALTER HoveH, Acting Head Curator.

On the appointment of Dr. W. H. Holmes as director of the
National Gallery of Art on July 1, 1920, the curator of ethnology
was appointed acting head curator of anthropology.

A consistent growth is observed in the department year by year.
Relieved of responsibilities lately connected with divisions of the
museum not germane to its work, it has moved forward more rapidly.
The department as now administered comprises the divisions of
physical anthropology, ethnology, American archeology, and Old
World archeology, which are closely knit sciences, and the sections
of musical instruments, ceramics, and art textiles. These branches
record commendable progress during the period of this report.

Administration of the division of ethnology and the sections of
art textiles, musical instruments, and ceramics was continued by the
acting head curator, also cooperation with the division of history in
respect to installations and anthropological laboratory preparations
in the section of period costumes.

ACCESSIONS DESBRVING SPECIAL NOTICE,

The accessions generally were of diversified character and tending
to improve the collections. They were acquired at negligible ex-
pense. The crowded condition of the museum, necessitating the ac-
ceptance of desirable collections only by gift or bequest without
conditions, has limited the accession of loans. The accessions of the
year, therefore, are mainly a permanent gain to the museum.

Of exceptional value and interest to the division of ethnology is
the collection of California Indian baskets from the Missions, a
supplementary gift from Miss Ella F. Hubby, of Pasadena and New
York. A blanket robe of dog and mountain goat hair, woven by the
Cowichan Indians of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, decorated
with a Chilkat totemic painting in soft colors, is a unique specimen
gift of Mrs. Charles C. Hyde of Washington, D.C. A single specimen
of ancient Hawaiian wood carving in form of an image of a god
can probably not be duplicated. It was collected by Rear Admiral
J. V. B. Bleecker, United States Navy, many years ago. The image
is of the Easter Island type. A collection of the very scarce ma-

o

40 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

terial from the Flathead Indians of British Columbia, consisting of
carved horn bowls, spoons, fishhooks, etc., was presented by Dr.
KE. A. Spitzka, Washington, D. C. Twenty-four ancient ivory carv-
ings designed as fetishes, mostly from the Walaka and Baluba Ne-
groes, Lower Congo, Africa, were purchased.

The following accessions to American archeology are deserving
of special notice: A collection of 128 archeological specimens, many
of which appear to exhibit contact with non-Pueblo peoples, gath-
ered by Mr. J. A. Jeancon for the Bureau of American Ethnology
from an ancient ruin near Taos, N. Mex., and transferred by the
bureau; a collection of 114 antiquities from cliff dwellings and other
prehistoric ruins northwest of the Rio Colorado, made for the Bureau
of American Ethnology by Mr. Neil M. Judd and subsequently
transferred by the bureau; a bronze ax blade and a highly embel-
lished, cylindrical earthenware vase from Salvador, presented by
Sr. Emilio Mosonyi; a series of 183 specimens from prehistoric ruins
in the Chaco Canyon National Monument, N. Mex., collected by Neil
M. Judd under the auspices of the National Geographic Society,
which later presented the material to the national collections; a
carved jade tiki or fetish from New Zealand, secured through ex-
change with Mr. Louis C. G. Clarke; and two collections of Mexican
antiquities obtained by Maj. Harry S. Bryan. The first of these
is a gift of 12 specimens; the second, a loan, includes 64 specimens.
Dr. Walter Hough presented an interesting series of shell beads and
pendants and stone fetishes from Keetseel Ruin, Arizona, and the
Zuni region, New Mexico. A carved wooden Floridian image, found
in reclaimed soil which Lake Okeechobee formerly covered to a depth
of 6 feet, was given to the Museum by Mr. M. A. Millar, Venus, Fla.

A most noteworthy accession to the division of Old World arche-
ology is a valuable collection of Buddhist religious art, consisting
of old bronze statues and figures, lacquered shrines, and exquisitely
painted kakemonos from China and Japan, gift of Mrs. Murray
Warner; another small collection of Buddhist bronze figures de-
serves notice, inasmuch as, besides its intrinsic artistic value, it
filled some gaps in the Museum collection of the Buddhist pantheon,
gift of Mrs. John Van Rensselaer Hoff. Mention is also made of a
small collection of finely worked embroideries with Christian themes,
gift from the estate of Mrs. Mary E. Pinchot; and the collection of
Jewish ceremonial, which includes a considerable number of artis-
tically worked silver vessels from Palestine, lent by Mr. Ephraim
Deinard.

Of the accessions in physical anthropology which deserve special
notice, the foremost place belongs to the “ Huntington collection ” of
skeletal material. This collection is received formally as an “ ex-
change,” but is really in the maina gift from the College of Physicians

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 41

and Surgeons of Columbia University, New York City, through
Prof, George 5. Huntington. Smail portions of this material were
already in our possession as the result of exchanges in previous years;
it consists of the identified skeletal remains of upward of 1,500 indi-
viduals of known sex, age, color, nationality, and cause of decease.
It includes in ample number for all desired information representa-
tives of the different parts of the white race which are entering into
the composition of the American people, and as such will have a con-
stantly increasing value for mutual comparisons. The scientific im-
portance of this material can hardly be estimated, and it is not too
much to say that it practically doubles the value of our collection.
No other collection of equal extent is in existence. Another collection
of importance is that of 27 human brains donated to the Museum by
Dr. Edward Anthony Spitzka, Washington, D. C. The next collec-
ttion of note is that of 10 Arikara skulls and 3 skeletons donated
by the University of South Dakota, through Prof. Freeman Ward, in
return for a report on their collections. These specimens are in
good condition and fill what was almost a complete void in our col-
lections. Mention should also be made of a quantity of skeletal
material collected in Tennessee by Mr. W. E. Myer, of Nashville,
Tenn., and transmitted to the Museum by the Bureau of American
Ethnology.

In addition to the above there were a series of smatler accessions of
crania and skeletons from various parts of this continent.

A loan collection of rare oriental rugs was received in art textiles,
replacing those hung last year. This collection was sent by a public-
spirited, Washingtonian to be exhibited for the benefit of the public.
The weavings number 38 and typify the chief varieties of these
artistic textiles.

The section of musical instruments reports that the Worch col-
lection of pianos has been enriched by the gift of a copy of the
harpsichord used by Johann Sebastian Bach, the great composer.
The original is in the Museum at Stuttgart, Germany. Two copies
were permitted to be made and one of these is now displayed in the
Worch collection in the National Museum. The instrument has four
pedals and four stops, a surprising mechanical equipment for the
period. A dulcitone, an instrument whose sounding apparatus is a
succession of graded tuning forks, was procured by Mr. Worch from
Glasgow, Scotland. Eleven other valuable pianos, illustrative of the
history of this instrument, were added to the collection by Mr. Worch.
A piano handsomely decorated by Cottier of New York was given by
Mrs. Gouverneur Morris, Washington, D. C.

The collection of master violins bequeathed to the Museum by the
late Dwight J. Partelio and whose disposition has attracted wide

42 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921,

public interest is subject to litigation, and its acquisition by the Mu-
seum depends upon action by the courts.

A set of 169 pieces of heavy porcelain with blue decoration was
received by the section of ceramics as a bequest from Miss Caroline
Henry. This porcelain was given to Prof. Joseph Henry by the
first Japanese minister to the United States. The ware is interest-
ing as representative of the first somewhat crude attempts to adapt
European forms in Japanese ceramic art; Mr. Grosvenor B. Clark-
son, Washington, D. C., presented two Japanese porcelain vases in
blue and white; Miss Freeman and Mrs. B. H. Buckingham, Wash-
ington, D. C., presented six large Japanese and Chinese plaques
with rich decoration in colors and a Japanese bronze statuette.

EXPLORATIONS AND EXPEDITIONS.

Dr. W. L. Abbott is a constant contributor of the resuits of his
numerous explorations east and west. At present his material is
coming from Haiti and Santo Domingo. The major expeditions
of a scientific nature have contributed little material for anthro-
pology. Special archeological explorations in Arizona and New
Mexico directed by the Museum, the Bureau of American Eth-
nology, and the National Geographic Society added much excellent
material. The expedition of the National Geographic Society to
the Chaco Canyon ruined cities in New Mexico, directed by Mr. Neil
M. Judd, of the National Museum, is expected to produce important
results. This expedition, which set off in April, contemplates five
years researches in Chaco Canyon. The preliminary work on this
expedition was carried on during the summer and a large collection
of artifacts sent in. Dr. J. Walter Fewkes’s epoch-making ‘investi-
gations on Mesa Verde, Colo., for the Bureau of American Eth-
nology and the Department of the Interior were productive of dis-
tinctive scientific and educational results.

WORK OF PRESERVING AND INSTALLING THE COLLECTIONS—PRESENT CONDITION OF
COLLECTIONS.

It is difficult to characterize the multifarious and intricate work
accomplished by any department of the Museum. The high stand-
ards of the National Museum embrace every feature from the
minute io the greatest. The visible Museum must be kept to the
highest point of perfection and the work this necessitates is con-
stant and exacting. In the background is the tremendous routine
of occupational activities which the Geologist Lesley called “ dead-
work,” and which must be completed before specimens are brought
to public view.

The care of specimens in ethnology presents many problems on
account of the character and variety of the material. Some of the

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 43

older collections which were not cared for under present Museum
standards were worked over and tickets and marks restored. Among
the installations mention is made of two cases of rare California
Mission Indian baskets of the Ella F. Hubby collection and two
cases of Chinese minor art displays. The lay figure of a Nez Perce
Indian chief was reconstructed and placed on exhibit, and the
model of an early Iroquoian stockaded village repaired and again
put in place. Hundreds of labels were put on specimens, and the
effort to attach a card to every exhibit object was brought close to
completion. Plans were also drawn up for the preparation of a
series of handbooks describing certain important classes of exhibits
in the division of ethnology.

The American archeology collection has approximately reached the
limits of expansion as to exhibition. By selection and elimination, the
exhibit was improved. The collection from the Otto T. Mallery
expedition, under the auspices of the Washington branch of the
Archeological Institute of America, to the Rio Chama, N. Mex.,
a locality not heretofore represented in the Museum, was installed.
The State collections exhibit received a number of additions. These
collections, which are of interest especially to visitors from the
various States, were also improved by additional labels and by
consolidation with a view to clearness of presentation. The archeo-
logical collection as now) presented may be considered in a satis-
factory state of completeness as to arrangement, and with the addi-
tion of more labels will take its place as one of the most instructive
exhibits. Especial attention was given to the prevention of decay,
which frequently occurs in pottery taken from burials, and almost
complete success was achieved in halting the disintegration. Re-
pairs of broken articles and other routine work in connection with
cleaning, numbering, and like duties occupied much time. The
records of the division, which had fallen behind in former years,
were worked upon with the view of bringing them up to date. It is
hoped within a short time to complete indexes which will render
it possible to locate each unit without loss of time.

Old World archeology, which embraces biblical and other objects
connected with ancient religions and art, reports an active year.
The chief work was the reinstallation of the collections illustrating
Christianity, Buddhism, and Mohammedanism, which were dis-
arranged in removal previously from the Arts and Industries Build-
ing. A number of objects of silver, illustrating Jewish ceremonial,
were installed, forming an attractive exhibit. Specimens were added
to the archeologic exhibits from Great Britain and India and some
examples of ancient sculpture and glass placed in cases. Printed
labels to the number of 140 were placed on exhibits.

44. REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

The most advanced methods employed in the division of physical
anthropology for the cleaning, repair, cataloguing, identification,
etc., were applied to the old collections from the Army Medical
Museum and from other sources. The collection in general is con-
stantly improving in all respects through intensive work continued
from year to year. It is the endeavor to keep abreast of the im-
provements in the methods of museum science and to maintain the
material in a state of effectiveness. Necessarily the rapid increase
in specimens received by the division required better facilities for
storage which will provide easier access to the accumulating
material.

The rearrangement of the cases in art textiles greatly benefited
the appearance of the hall. The exhibit of laces was also much im-
proved by the arrangement of the specimens following the recon-
struction of the cases to eliminate as far as possible the entrance of
dust. On the south and west walls a splendid collection of oriental
rugs was hung.

Plans were made for improving the installation of the collection
of musical instruments and dust proofing the cases. Steps were
taken to prepare a catalogue and handbook, which should render
the exhibit of greater value to the public.

The ceramic collection shows the results of several years’ work
on improving the character of the exhibit. Efforts were made to
eliminate material not needed in the collection, much of which had
been collected in a haphazard manner. Noteworthy is the exhibit
of two cases of rare old Bohemian ruby glass donated by Mrs. C. E.
Danforth, of San Diego, Calif.

The varied and important work performed in the anthropological
laboratory contributed materially to the benefit of the public exhibi-
tion. Work was carried on here which could not be performed in the
divisions. The necessities of the department occupied the time of the
laboratory except for occasional jobs of expert work for other sec-
tions of the Museum. Aside from current tasks, original work in
modeling lay figures was continued and new methods for expe-
diting the work were tried out. The joining of broken pottery ves-
sels, skeletons, and other specimens by means of adhesive cements
and such materials has been subject to a long investigation, and satis-
factory results have been reached. Many specimens which require a
degree of restoration were sent to the laboratory for special attention.

RESEARCH WORK.

The devotedness to scientific work by the personnel of the depart-
ment, a feature shared by the entire personnel of the National
Museum, is shown by the amount of research work prosecuted by the
staff. It is also evident that this work is not limited to the legal
hours of labor.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 45

The curator of ethnology finished and handed in papers on the
racial groups in the National Museum and on the series of specimens
illustrating the history of inventions. He also began the preparation
of an account of the stoves and other heating devices in the Museum.
A summary of his exploration of 1920 was prepared and an account
written on Museum specimens germane to the Pilgrim Tercentenary.

The examination for publication of the several collections of
archeological remains collected in Utah and Arizona by the curator
of the division of American archeology for the Bureau of American
Ethnology during the past five years was continued.

The curator of Old World archeology completed a study of Parsee
religious ceremonial objects. He also completed a descriptive cata-
logue of Buddhist art, which was published during the year by the
Museum. The plan of the curator is to continue this series of instruc-
tive handbook catalogues.

The materials in the division of physical anthropology are con-
stantly drawn upon for comparisons as well as for new observations.
During the year the most important piece of research done on the
collections was that relating to the finer modeling of teeth; but much
work was done also on Indian and other bones in connection with
the preparation of the pending reports on the Sioux Indians and
the anthropology of Florida and neighboring regions. In addition
measurements for future use were begun on the valuable Mongolian
collection and on the skeletal material from Alaska, the latter in
connection with the curator’s studies on the origin and affinities
of the Indian.

Doctor Hrdliéa performed services for the Department of Justice
in differentiating full-blood from mixed-blood Chippewa Indians
in important land cases, thereby saving over a million dollars in land
and money for the Indians, in accordance with the statement of the
department. This is a good illustration of the practical value of
studies of recondite subjects.

Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, Chief of the Bureau of American Eth-
nology, as collaborator in the division of ethnology, has assisted
materially in the acquisition of specimens through collections made
by himself and members of the bureau.

Dr. Arthur P. Rice, also a collaborator, sent in data, photographs,
and ethnological material from Yucatan.

The department was called upon daily to give information to
visitors on many subjects of more or less importance; but little
material, and that in the form of photographs with descriptions and
publications, was sent to researchers elsewhere.

It is difficult to estimate the benefits growing out of personal con-
tacts with visitors desiring information, but in many cases it is
known to have produced results of importance to the Museum.

46 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1821.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGER OF SPECIMENS.

The department began in a systematic way the distribution of
duplicate material to educational institutions. Despite the limited
variety of duplicates available, series of ethnology were selected
with the view of conveying concrete facts of value in culture studies,
and sent out to deserving schools. An intelligent distribution of
the duplicate materials in anthropology is prospectively of great
educational benefit to many institutions in the United States, espe-
cially to smaller schools with limited facilities. An increasing
number of schools teach art, and such collections as are sent out
are adapted for instruction in designing, using Indian art as a basis
for the coming American school.

Besides the gifts noted above, several exchanges were made in
the division of ethnology which added valuable specimens to the
collection. The division supplied Rev. Dr. James M. Magruder,
Annapolis, Md., with two model arrows of the southern Maryland
Indians of 1750, to be sent by the Patriotic Society of the Ark and
Dove of Baltimore to the King of England as a reminder of the
tribute of arrows sent by the colony of Maryland during the colonial
period,

From the division of physical anthropology a quantity of un-
identified skeletal material was prepared for the George Washington
University, at their request, as a gift.

The department of anthropology sent out 7 gifts, comprising 151
specimens, and 10 exchanges, comprising 287 specimens. There
were received in the department, for examination and report, 36
lots of specimens, diversified in character.

NUMBER OF SPECIMENS ADDED TO THE DEPARTMENT.

During the year there were received 149 accessions comprising
2,324 specimens, in addition to the major portion of the Hunting-
ton collection of skeletal material, which has not yet been completely
catalogued. Of these, 24 accessions, containing 691 specimens, were
loans and deposits. The total number of specimens were assigned
as follows: Ethnology, 586 specimens; American archeology, 861
specimens; Old World archeology, 414 specimens; physical anthro-
pology, 115 specimens besides the skeletal material mentioned above;
art textiles, 133 specimens; musical instruments, 16 specimens; and
ceramics, 199 specimens. In addition, 6 accessions, comprising 84
specimens, were entered in the department before the transfer of
the recording for the section of period costumes to the division of
history and are not included in the figures given.

REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY.

By LEoNHARD STEJNEGER, Head Curator.

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN ORGANIZATION AND STAFF.

The hope expressed in my last annual report that “in the near
future” it might be possible to subdivide further the large division
of marine invertebrates was partly realized, when, on February 1,
1921, the old division of mollusks was reestablished, which since
October 16, 1914, had been combined with the division of marine
invertebrates for economical and administrative reasons in a single
division under the latter title. By the new arrangement the curator
of the combined division, Dr. Paul Bartsch, remained curator of the
division of mollusks, while the associate curator, Mr. Waldo L.
Schmitt, was promoted to curator of marine invertebrates. For
administrative reasons the collection of living, madreporarian
corals, and the helminthological collections remain for the present
under the curator of mollusks. The name “ division of marine inver-
tebrates” has thereby become a misnomer more than ever; but as
there is no satisfactory collective term for the heterogeneous collec-
tions consisting of crustaceans, worms, sponges, etc., all together or
in part, and including fresh-water as well as terrestrial animals in
addition to the truly marine forms, it has been thought best to retain
the old designation without qualification until further subdivisions
in the future shall have made a more suitable nomenclature possible.

Unfortunately, this separation of the divisions could not be accom-
panied by any increase in the scientific staff. It is not only humili-
ating for the leading scientific institution of the Nation to have to
depend upon the generosity of other museums and private individuals
for aid in answering the numerous inquiries as to the identity of en-
tire phyla of the lower animals and in classifying and reporting upon
its own unsurpassed collections, but it is positively detrimental to the
progress of science, applied as well as unapplied, that there are cer-
tain important groups of animals of which we have not a specialist
in this country so situated that they can be worked up. It is not
pleasant to have to confess that, to mention an example, we have in
Washington no person who can classify and identify our spiders and
our myriapods, but it seems almost incredible that, in spite of the
efforts which have been made for fully 15 years, it has as yet been im-
possible to find the means for having the unrivaled collection of
sponges in the National Museum named and described by an Ameri-

can zoologist. This collection, one of the finest of its kind, was re-
ceived back during the present year from Europe where it was sent
many years ago to be monographed by the then leading authority on
that group of invertebrate animals. As the vicissitudes of this col-
lection point a moral, it may be well in this connection to briefly out-
line their history: After negotiations, carried on for several years, the
entire collection of sponges of the National Museum was shipped in
1906 to Prof. R. von Lendenfeld, at Prague, Bohemia, to be worked
up, as it has been found impossible to find anybody in America
capable of undertaking their study. The financing of this enterprise
was assumed by the late Dr. Alexander Agassiz, who was greatly
interested in the work. A small portion of the collection comprising
specimens sent over previously was returned in 1908, and the result of
their study published in 1910. In the meantime Doctor Agassiz’s
financial position required him to withdraw his subsidy for the
working up of the Museum material, and he died shortly after. The
negotiations with von Lendenfeld for the continuation of the work
fell through, because the Museum, in spite of the endeavors of Dr. R.
Rathbun, the assistant secretary of the Smithsonian Institution in
charge of the National Museum, was unable to spare the necessary
amount from the regular appropriation, and no other financial
assistance was obtainable. The proposition to establish a position on
the scientific staff of the Museum for the study of sponges and recall
the collection was discussed, but had to be abandoned for lack of
means. Prof. von Lendenfeld’s death in 1913 caused the renewal of
the negotiations with his successor, Prof. E. Trojan, but with no better —
result. Very reluctantly, and only after all efforts to find a satisfac-
tory way had failed, Doctor Rathbun, in June, 1914, ordered the
collection to be returned for the purpose of storing it until it should
be possible to induce a capable American zoologist to devote himself
to the important work of making this remarkable collection accessible
to the scientific world. Later the World War broke out and nothing
was heard from the collection for more than five years. It was
scarcely to be expected that this priceless alcoholic collection, which
in all these years had been in the enemies’ country, should have es-
caped destruction in the general collapse of the Austrian Empire.
Great relief was therefore felt when early in 1920 a letter was received
from Professor Trojan announcing that he had taken care of the
collection during the war, and that it was still intact and in geod con-
dition. Gratefully recognizing his efforts to preserve the specimens, a
satisfactory arrangement was made with Professor Trojan to have
the entire sponge collection packed and returned. It was finally re-
ceived after an absence of 15 years. The specimens are here, it is
true, but we are not one whit nearer the realization of the aim for

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 49

which these collections were brought together at the expenditure of
much money, labor, and ingenuity,,than we were before they were first
sent abroad. They still represent a dead mass of material awaiting
proper utilization in the service of scientific progress and must re-
main so until the Museum shall be financially able to support a
specialist in this important branch of science. The moral of the
above needs not to be pointed out; the danger and futility is too
obvious.

The department sustained a very serious loss during the year in
the deaths of Mr. Nelson R. Wood and Mr. William Palmer, both
taxidermists of the first rank. Mr. Wood, who died on November 8,
1920, was undoubtedly the foremost bird taxidermist in this country.
The bird exhibit is a lasting monument to his grasp of the character
of each individual and his unsurpassed ability to give it lifelike
expression. The technical skill with which he handled old and seem-
ingly impossible skins and achieved results as if it had been fresh
material was no less remarkable, and the saving and rejuvenescence
of many rare and valuable old specimens is due to his thoughtful
and loving care. The remounting of the great auk is a case in point.
Mr. William Palmer, whose death occurred on April 8, 1921, in his
65th year, was an excellent all-around museum preparator. He was
as skillful in mounting mammals and birds as in making plaster
casts of whales, fishes, and reptiles; his ability to paint these and to
fashion the accessories of the various biological groups was of no
mean grade; and he was equally successful in handling the cleaning
and mounting of a large whale skeleton as in preparing an exhibit of
dainty butterflies. But Mr. Palmer was more. He had an extensive
knowledge of the natural history of the animals and plants of this
region; his special knowledge of certain groups of birds and their
plumages was considerable; he had also paid particular attention to
collection and studying the fossil remains of whales. In the Museum
exhibition series the collection illustrating the fauna of the District
of Columbia is almost exclusively his work, and to a great extent
also the casts in the whale hall and in the fish and reptile hall.

COMPARISON OF INCREMENT OF SPECIMENS OF 1920-21 WITH THAT OF 1919-20,

From the numerical standpoint the collections of this department
show a healthy growth during the past year, no less than 251,485
specimens having been received as against 136,765 during the previous
year. ‘This increase is observable in almost all the divisions. It is
even more satisfactory to be able to report that all the curators ex-
press themselves as highly pleased with the scientific importance of
the new accessions, in instances characterizing the collections received
as “of greatly increased value” (mammals), or “of far greater
value” (fishes), or “ greatly surpassing in value last year’s acces-

50 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

sions” (insects). In this connection I wish to emphasize what I
alluded to in last year’s report, namely, that an increase in the num-
ber of specimens received means additional demands on the time and
labor of the staff and that this means less time and chance for scientific
work unless additional help can be obtained. The showing this year
is gratifying because it seems to indicate a return to normal growth
interrupted by the war, but normal growth in the quantity and qual-
ity of the accessions requires also a normal growth in the staff and
in the appropriations for the maintainance of the ever-growing
collections.

ACCESSIONS DESERVING SPECIAL NOTICE, AND WHY.

The outstanding features of this year’s accession, like those of
last year’s, are the Australian collections made by Dr. Charles M.
Hoy, which we owe to the continued generosity of Dr. W. L. Abbott,
and those resulting from the Smithsonian African expedition. To
Doctor Abbott we are furthermore indebted for a valuable collection
of mammals, birds, and reptiles, collected by C. Boden Kloss in
Siam, Anam, and Cochin China, from which countries we have had
but scant material before. Doctor Abbott, himself, collected nu-
merous birds, reptiles, land mollusks, and, in conjunction with Mr.
EK. C. Leonard, about 10,000 plants in Haiti. Miscellaneous col-
lections of great importance were also received from the Bureau of
Fisheries, Department of Commerce, and the Biological Survey, De-
partment of Agriculture, as will be detailed below.

The more important accessions, distributed among the various
divisions, are as follows:

Mammals—The most valuable single specimen received by the
entire department was a fine skeleton of a whale, about 45 feet long,
which was generously presented by Mr. James A. Allison, presi-
dent of the Miami Aquarium Association, to the National Museum
on behalf of the association. This specimen which was stranded
some years ago at Pablo Beach, Fla., is of particular interest, as it
belongs to a rare species, which hitherto has been represented from
North American waters by fragments only. The individual bones
are now being photographed and studied with a view to the publi-
cation of a monograph, and the skeleton will then be placed on exhi-
bition in the whale hall. The Australian mammals collected by Mr.
Hoy number 571 specimens, representing about 42 genera and 75
species. The material consists primarily of well-prepared skins,
skulls, and skeletons, as well as of many embryos and pouch young
preserved in alcohol. The 144 mammals from Siam, Anam, and
Cochin China, collected by Mr. Boden Kloss, included 17 types. The
699 mammals from Africa, collected by Mr. H. C. Raven, of the

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 51

Smithsonian African expedition, in conjunction with the Universal
Film Manufacturing Co., form a valuable general collection sup-
plementing, in an important manner, the large African collections
already in the Museum. The Bureau of Fisheries transferred to the
division 40 skulls and one skeleton of the Alaskan fur seal from the
Pribilof Islands. These skulls, which were collected by Dr. G. D.
Hanna, are of very great importance, as they are supplemented with
very detailed data as to age, size, etc., and form the basis of Doctor
Hanna’s studies of the development of this economically important
species. Several large Canadian mammals, including mule deer and
mountain goats, were collected by Secretary Walcott of the Smith-
sonian Institution for the Museum. Mr. A. F. Bearpark, of Cape
Town, South Africa, donated a fetus of a whale from South Africa.

Birds.—That Dr. W. L. Abbott’s interest in the fauna of the farther
India is as keen as ever is evidenced by the fine collection of 496
birds made by Mr. C. Boden Kloss, of the Federated Malay States
Museums, Kuala, Lumpur, in Siam, Cochin China, and Anam, which
he presented to the Museum. The region was only slightly repre-
sented in our collection, so that naturally there are a considerable
number of forms new to the Museum, approximately 90 species and
subspecies and 3 genera. The collection also contains the types of
6 species recently described by Mr. Kloss. Hoy’s Australian birds
number 487 skins and 47 alcoholies and skeletons, and contains also
a generous proportion of species new to the Museum, though no figures
can be given at present. A genus of lyre birds (Harriwhitea) is new
to the Museum, as well as a number of local forms from Kangaroo
Island, South Australia. Of the several hundred birds personally
collected by Doctor Abbott in Haiti and Santo Domingo, several are
of particular interest. The thick-knee or stone-plover (Oedicnemus
dominicensis) and the local form of the grasshopper-sparrow (Ammo-
dramus savannarum intricatus) were new to the Museum; while a
whippoorwill is apparently new to science. Mr. Raven, of the Smith-
sonian African expedition, collected 162 skins and 47 skeletons and
alcoholics. As the collection has not yet been worked up, the num-
ber of new additions are not known, but at least one genus, Megabias,
has been recognized as hitherto unrepresented in the Museum. An
alcoholic specimen of Smithornis will be of great assistance in ascer-
taining the correct place of this genus in the system. From the
Department of Agriculture several important additions were re-
ceived, principally birds, alcoholics, and skeletons, the result of Dr. A.
Wetmore’s explorations in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
From the Swales fund, placed at the disposition of the division by
Mr. B. H. Swales as mentioned in last year’s report, 41 skins of foreign
birds were obtained, representing about 38 species new to the Museum,
including seven genera not hitherto contained in the national collec-

52 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

tion, among them Sypheotis, a genus of bustards, and Ptilolaemus,
a genus of hornbills. Two rare Australian species new to the collec-
tions were generously donated by Capt. 8S. A. White, of Fulham,
South Australia. The egg collection received a noteworthy addi-
tion by the gift of 8,844 eggs and 10 nests from Dr. Theodore W.
Richards, United States Navy, from various parts of the world,
among them a number of eggs of foreign species not previously
present in the Museum. A single egg of the rare tooth-billed or dodo
pigeon (Didunculus strigirostris) of Samoa, donated by Mr. Mason
Mitchell, now American consul at Queenstown, Ireland, is particu-
larly noteworthy because it is the first egg of this bird to come to
the Museum, and thus represents a family, genus, and species new to
the national egg collection.

Reptiles and amphibians—The Hoy Australian collections con-
tained 118 specimens, including many species new to the collection,
and Raven’s African material, 205 specimens of almost equal im-
portance. The South American herpetological fauna is poorly rep-
resented in the national collections, and the specimens from Argen-
tina and Paraguay collection of Dr. Alexander Wetmore were
therefore very welcome. From China, also poorly represented,
small but interesting collections were received from no less than
three sources, as follows: Twelve from Suifu, Province of Sze
Chuan, through Rev. David C. Graham; 16 from the southwestern
part of Hunan Province, collected by Dr. Lewis R. Thompson; and
11 from Che-Kiang, donated by Mr. C. H. Barlow. Mr. C. T.
Ramsden, of Guantanamo, Cuba, made the division a very acceptable
gift of 24 specimens from that island, mostly representing very rare
species. A very interesting addition was presented by the Univer-
sity of Michigan, namely, 4 tadpoles of the remarkable discoglossoid
toad Ascaphus truei from Washington.

Fishes —By far the largest and most important collection of fishes
received in many years was transferred to the Museum by the United
States Bureau of Fisheries. It consists of approximately 100,000
specimens, the result of the collecting by the Fisheries steamer
Albatross in Philippine waters during the years 1907-1910. It is
to be hoped that means may be found to work up within a reason-
able time this unrivaled collection, which it has cost the Govern-
ment such great efforts and outlay to acquire. The Fisheries Bureau
also transferred 7 types and 16 cotypes of malacopterygian fishes
collected by its schooner Grampus, as well as 8,367 specimens from
the Potomac River and its tributaries. The Hoy Australian collec-
tion contained 52 specimens, including at least one genus, Avacana,
new to the collection. Another Australian collection of 51 speci-
mens was obtained in exchange with the Australian Museum in
Sydney, containing 8 species new to the National Museum, By

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 53

exchange with the Indiana University Museum 250 specimens col-
lected by the Irwin expedition to Chile and Peru, 1918-19, were
acquired. The Smithsonian African expedition brought 48 speci-
mens from Lake Taganyika, with at least 2 noteworthy additions to
our collection. An interesting lot of 10 specimens of fishes, among
which several new species, killed by a lava flow irom Mauna Loa,
Hawaii, into the ocean was presented by Dr. David Starr Jordan.
They were collected by Tom Reinhardt and Carl S. Carlsmith about
October 6, 1919.

Insects.—Several important collections made by private individuals
have been donated during the present year. Among them the J. P.
Iddings collection of butterflies and moths, presented by the heirs of
Doctor Iddings, is in a way unique, since all the 2,500 named speci-
mens, mostly from the Tropics, especially of the oriental region, were
mounted in Riker and similar mounts ready for exhibition. They
were at once placed in suitable cabinets, but the final arrangement and
labeling are still in progress. Another collection of Lepidoptera, con-
sisting of about 5,000 specimens, was donated by Mr. B. Preston
Clark. The W. D. Richardson collection of Coleoptera, about 4,350
specimens, was presented to the Museum by the collector. Another
welcome gift consisted of about 2,000 specimens of miscellaneous Phil-
ippine insects, chiefly Hymenoptera, from Dean C. F. Baker, Los
Bafios, P. I. Another noteworthy acquisition relates to the class
Protura, animals similar to a very primitive wingless type of insects,
but without antenne. Of this group, of which only 26 species are
known in the world, 12 species, 11 new, collected and described by
Dr. H. E. Ewing, were donated by him. It should finally be men-
tioned that Mr. William Schaus, of the Bureau of Entomology, and
an honorary assistant curator in the division of insects, has continued
to make gifts of Lepidoptera from his private collection and by pur-
chase, and has also donated much material which he has received from
other lepidopterists by exchanging portions of his own collection
with them. He has also purchased water-color paintings of more than
50 rare butterflies and donated them to the collection.

Marine invertebrates—As usual, the Bureau of Fisheries was the
largest single contributor, the principal accession being some 360
lots of sponges collected by the Fisheries steamer Albatross in 1902
(Hawaii) and 1904-5 (eastern Pacific) estimated at comprising
more than a thousand specimens. These were included in the ship-
ment from Prague by Doctor Trojan. They had originally been
transmitted to Doctor von Lendenfeld by the bureau direct. Among
the other specimens transferred by the Bureau of Fisheries may be
noted a rather complete series of juvenile stages in the life history of
Ueca pugilator, one of the east-coast fiddler crabs, through Mr. 0. W.

54 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

Hyman, acting director of the Beaufort station of the bureau. Such
materia] is highly desirable, as the stages in the life histories of
crustaceans present a field of investigation but little worked and
about which little is known. A valuable lot of about 600 decapod
and amphipod crustacea, part of the material secured by the Ameri-
can Museum Congo expedition, was received from that institution,
Miss M. J. Rathbun and Mr. C. R. Shoemaker, both of the National
Museum, having worked up and reported upon the collections of the
expedition. Similarly, 87 specimens, representing 57 species of
decapod crustaceans, were received from the Australian Museum,
Sydney, being part of the material gathered by the Endeavour expe-
dition upon which a report by Miss Rathbun is now in process of
publication. By exchange, 28 specimens, 9 species of fresh-water
shrimps, part of the material upon which Dr. R. P. Cowles based
his paper on the “ Palaemons of the Philippine Islands,” published
in 1914, were obtained from the department of zoology of the Uni-
versity of the Philippines, Manila. From Japan two collections of
crustacea were received, namely, 56 from the Pescadores Islands,
presented by the Institute of Science, Taihoku, Formosa, through
Dr. M. Oshima, and 337 specimens from northern Japan, collected
and donated by Dr. Madoka Sasaki, Hokkaido Imperial University,
Sapporo. The types of several new species were also added as gifts
by their discoverers or describers, thus two parasitic copepods de-
scribed by Prof. C. B. Wilson, from the Venice Marine Biological
Station, received through Prof. A. B. Ulrey; another parasitic
copepod described by the same, and collected and presented by Prof.
S. I. Kornhauser, Denison University; and one polychaete worm
from Valdez Harbor, Alaska, described by Prof. A. L. Treadwell
and collected by Lieut. Col. C. A. Seoane, United States Army, who
donated the specimen.

Mollusks—The most important accession of the year is a gift from
Mr. Y. Hirase, Kioto, Japan, embracing 3,843 lots from the Japanese
islands; in fact, according to Doctor Bartsch’s report, it is one of the
most valuable accessions that has ever come to the division of mol-
lusks. Together with the Thaanum collection and the material
dredged by the fisheries steamer Albatross, it places the National
Museum collection of Pacific mollusks “ above all other in the world.”
It is the product of a lifetime’s efforts on the part of Mr. Hirase and
a corps of private collectors employed by him. The actual number
of specimens included in this splendid accession can not be given
at the present time. as final unpacking awaits the receipt of printed
blank labels and sufficient containers. About 2,500 mollusks from
Hawaii. contributed by Dr. Paul Bartsch and Mr. John B. Hen-
derson, make another valuable addition to our large collection from

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 55

those islands. Quite a number of individual collectors contributed
to the Hawaiian series, among others, Miss Olga Smith, Mr. Irwin
Spaulding, and Mr. Walter D. Giffard, all of Honolulu, and Mrs.
Edna Bowen, of Hanalei, Kauai. To Dr. W. L. Abbott we owe
1,346 specimens of land shells from Haiti and a number of others
from Santo Domingo, all of his own collecting, while several of the
accessions from Australia are the results of Mr. Hoy’s collecting, all
of these collections containing large numbers of noteworthy mollusks.
The Smithsonian African expedition also contributed several collec-
tions of mollusks, and from the Philippine Islands several welcome
additions were received from Mr. C. F. Baker, P. I.; Dr. David
T. Gochenour, Stuarts Draft, Va.; and Mr. H. N. Lowe, Long Beach,
Calif. ; the latter two containing types of new species. Our relatively
small collection of South American mollusks has been increased by
several individual collections, nearly all containing new species, from
Dr. C. Wythe Cooke, Washington, D. C., specimens from Co-
lombia; from Dr. H. Pittier, Caracas, Venezuelan mollusks; from
Dr. F. Felippone, Montevideo, specimens from Uruguay and
Brazil. Shipworms, material of which is always desirable, were re-
ceived from the division of biology of the science and agricultural
department of Demerara. Mr. Ralph W. Jackson, Cambridge, Md.,
contributed a number of marine shells, including types of two new
species, and Dr. Mario Sanchez, Habana, Cuba, a similar collec-’
tion containing five types.

Prof. A. S. Pearse, Madson, Wis., deposited a large number of
types and other material of parasitic worms, and material transferred
by the Bureau of Fisheries contained two of Doctor Linton’s cestode
types.

Echinoderms.—Through Prof. Max Weber the division obtained
267 specimens of unstalked crinoids, from the Dutch East Indies, in-
cluding about 40 species new to our collection and many cotypes, all
collected by the Dutch Siboga expedition. From the German South
Polar expedition, through Prof. R. Hartmeyer, 23 specimens of
unstalked crinoids from the Gauss expedition, all new to our collec-
tion, were similarly received. The State University of Iowa’s Bar-
bados-Antigua expedition, through Prof. C. C. Nutting, contributed
71 specimens of ophiurans, nearly all from localities unrepresented in
our collection.

Plants —The National Herbarium has been increased during the
year by over 14,000 specimens from Haiti and Santo Domingo col-
lected by Dr. W. L. Abbott, and Mr. Emery C. Leonard, of the di-
vision of plants. The Bureau of Plant Industry, of the Department
of Agriculture, transferred 9,673 specimens, including 4,298 speci-
mens of grasses. The collection contained about 3,000 specimens from
Siam, Burma, and Assam, recently collected by Mr. J. F. Rock, be-

56 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

sides 660 specimens collected in Guatemala and Honduras by Dr. S.
F. Blake, and 700 from the western United States collected by W.
W. Eggleston. Another transfer from the Biological Survey of the
same department, contained 1,198 specimens from Alaska, Canada,
and various parts of the United States. The University of Minnesota
presented the Museum with 749 specimens from several parts of
South America, while the National Geographic Society similarly do-
nated 1,180 Alaskan plants collected by the several Katmai expedi-
tions under the leadership of Prof. Robert F. Griggs. Other gifts
were 730 specimens from Venezuela, collected and donated by Mr.
H. Pittier; 726 specimens of Louisiana plants presented by Brother
G. Arséne, Covington, La.; and 1,614 miscellaneous specimens, the
herbarium of the late Dr. F. L. J. Boettcher, a gift from Mrs.
Boettcher. A large number of specimens were received in exchange,
thus 2,308, mostly from the West Indies, with the New York Bo-
tanical Garden; 2,938 plants from Borneo and the Philippines, with
the Bureau of Science at Manila; 400 specimens from China and New
Caledonia, with G. Bonati, Lure, France; 483 specimens from Mexico,
with the Direccion de Estudios Biologicos, Mexico; 1,160 specimens,
chiefly European, with Riksmuseets Botaniska Avdelning, Stock-
holm; 2,019 United States plants, with the Arnold Arboretum; and
713 specimens, mainly from Quebec, with College de Longueuil.

EXPLORATIONS AND EXPEDITIONS.

From the standpoint of exploration and expedition the year just
completed must be characterized as unusually poor. In fact, were
it not for the expeditions still in the field at the beginning of the
year, and for Dr. W. L. Abbott’s unflagging interest and generosity,
the showing would be very poor indeed. It must be set down as an
indisputable proposition that a large museum, and most assuredly one
aspiring to be among the leading museums, and, moreover, one repre-
senting the richest nation in the world, can not maintain its standing
without being able to send out properly planned and properly fitted-
out expeditions for the purpose of expanding, supplementing, and
completing its collections. Take these away and the institution must
infallibly sink down to an humble place among those striving for the
purpose of science and the benefit of mankind, and, incidentally, the
benefit and glory of the country they represent. The value of a
national museum of natural history is not so much in the display
it is able to make as in the opportunity for research and exploration.
It is not too much to say that for such a museum exploration is the
very breath of life. Even in countries impoverished by war, directly
or indirectly, an honorable and, let it be said, not altogether vain
struggle is being kept up to continue the work of adding to the
world’s knowledge as circumstances will best permit. If we look

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 57

back upon the past history of our own institution, is it not clear that
the high achievement we have attained and the splendid position we
have reached are due in a great measure to the surveys and explora-
tions which have emanated from here, and the researches and studies
of our men based on the material collected? The reputation of the
Smithsonian Institution and its child, the National Museum, it is
no exaggeration to say is largely based upon just that kind of work.
To live up to that reputation, to keep from sliding down from this
enviable position, it will be necessary to find means for future ex-
plorations maturely planned and energetically carried out.

At the end of the year, only one of the previous more ambitious
expeditions is still in the field, namely, that of Mr. C. M. Hoy, in
Australia, financed by Dr. W. L. Abbott. During the past year his
reports in part relate to collections made at the following localities:

Farina, 8S. A.: Work in the Farina district was done at Lindhurst, 30 miles
east of the town of Farina. Nineteen days were spent here, resulting in the
collection of 110 birds and 64 mammals. A few reptiles and insects were also
collected.

Kangaroo Island, S. A.: Twenty-six days were spent, in the field, on Kan-
garoo Island, with the result of 85 mammals, 51 birds, and miscellaneous rep-
tiles, amphibians, and marine specimens collected.

Port Lincoln (Hyres Peninsula), S. A.: Twenty-two days were spent in the
field resulting in the collection of 86 birds and but 15 nrammals. A few miscel-
laneous specimens, including reptiles, crustacea, etc., were also obtained.

Busselton, W. A. (50 miles south) : Camp was pitched 50 miles south of the
town of Busselton, on the edge of the Government timber reserve. Forty days
were spent in camp. The weather was the worst that I have experienced.
During the while 40 days there were only 3 days free from rain. Over 18
inches fell in that time. It was impossible to keep things dry, and even the
tent fly went green with mold. Despite these handicaps, however, a pretty fair
collection was obtained. The collection contains 94 mammals, 46 birds, and a
few miscellaneous alcoholic specimens (reptiles and land shells).

Derby, W. A. (382 miles southeast): Twenty-three days were spent in the
above locality, August 7-29. The locality visited was very poor in both mammal
and bird life, and a collection of only 43 mammals, 68 birds, and 10 reptiles
secured.

Port Darwin, N. T. (100 miles south): Forty-four days were spent, in the
field, in the Northern Territory of Australia. An area of country 30 miles in
extent, running south by west from Brocks Creek to the Douglas River, was
worked. On this trip 114 mamals, representing about 15 species, 106 birds,
and 17 miscellaneous reptiles and amphibians, etc., were obtained.

Ebor District, N. S. W. (52 miles east of Armidale): Two camps were
pitched, one near the highest point on the northern N. S. W. tableland, at an
elevation of 5,000 feet and one a thousand feet lower. It was at the first camp
that the most successful work was done. Forty-four days were spent in camp
(Jan. 18-Feb. 27) and some very interesting results were obtained; 141 mam-
mals, 34 birds, and 19 miscellaneous reptiles, land shells, etc., were collected.
The weather was very much against me, as heavy, drizzling fogs and rain was
an almost everyday occurrence, and there were seldom two fine days at a
stretch.

58 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

During the year two shipments were received from Mr. Hoy. A
total of 571 mammals, well prepared, several of which were hitherto
unrepresented in our collection, together with a series of skeletal
and embryological material. The birds numbered 534 specimens and
represented considerably over 100 species and subspecies. A num-
ber of interesting reptiles, amphibians, fishes, and marine inverte-
brates were also collected.

The Smithsonian African expedition, the organization and start-
ing out of which were detailed in my last year’s report, completed
its biological work on July 14, 1920.

In the vicinity of Cape Town, Mr. Raven was able to collect only
insects and invertebrates, and from there he went to the Addo Bush,
where 19 days were spent in collecting small mammals and birds.
Going through Durban and Johannesburg, Mr. Raven spent two
weeks collecting at Ottoshoop in the Transvaal, after which he pro-
ceeded to Victoria Falls, and from there he left for the Kafue River
region, where he camped for several weeks. After spending some
weeks along the Congo, he reached Lake Tanganyika, where camp
was made for about a month. The next stop of any length was in
Uganda, where a few days over a month were spent in collecting in
the Budongo Forest.

Though not numerically large, the collections are of unusual in-
terest on account of the manner in which they supplement those ob-
tained by other expeditions in which the Smithsonian Institution has
been interested. Among the most important material may be men-
tioned 699 mammals (including 272 specimens from South Africa,
a region hitherto very imperfectly represented in our collection; 152
from Lake Tanganyika; the chimpanzee of Uganda) ; 567 birds, 206
reptiles, and 193 fishes, the latter from Lake Tanganyika. About
100 lots of mollusks were also collected.

A few new expeditions undertaken during the year have been in-
strumental in adding valuable material to our collections.

Late in 1920 Dr. W. L. Abbott undertook personally another ex-
pedition, this time visiting the north side of Santo Domingo (Villa
Riva, Pimentel, Catui, Mao in the Yaqui Valley, and several points
on the Samana Peninsula) and returning in May, 1921. He brought
back a small but select collection of birds, but his main efforts were
devoted to the collecting of plants, approximately 4,000 of which
have been received and will doubtless prove of great value.

The Biological Survey, Department of Agriculture, anxious to ob-
tain first-hand information concerning the movements of North
American migratory birds in southern South America, in the spring
of 1920 sent Dr. Alexander Wetmore to Argentina, where he col-
lected information and specimens in the Provinces of Chaco and For-
mosa, as well as in the Paraguayan Chaco, during the winter season.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 59

Returning to the pampas in the Province of Buenos Aires, he later
proceeded to northern Patagonia. In January, 1921, he crossed to
Montevideo, studying and collecting in Uruguay until the end of
February, when he returned to Argentina, extending his explora-
tions west to the foothills of the Andes. Crossing the Andes into
Chile he returned from there to New York by way of the Panama
Canal. Over 2,500 specimens of mammals and birds were brought
home by Doctor Wetmore, besides reptiles and lower animals. A
feature of his collection of particular importance is that, in addition
to paying special attention to the main purpose of his expedition, he
secured a large and valuable collection of anatomical material in
the form of skeletons and alcoholics.

Incidental to his geological explorations in Canada during 1920,
Dr. C. D. Walcott, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, as usual
had the museum’s need of good fresh material for the renewal of
its large mammal groups in mind, and among other specimens col-
lected two Rocky Mountain goats.

During August and September, 1920, Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of
mollusks, was delegated by the State Department to attend the first
Pan-Pacific Scientific Congress at Honolulu. He was accompanied
by Mr. John B. Henderson. While the meeting of the congress con-
sumed the greater portion of their time, they still found oppor-
tunity to make a notable collection for the museum, among which
were about 2,500 mollusks. These materially increase the value of
our rapidly growing and exceedingly important collection of Ha-
waiian mollusks, and are remarkable for the fact that fully 80 lots
contain few or no duplicates of Hawaiian material already in the
collection. Reestablishing the heredity experiments which are being
carried on under the joint auspices of the Smithsonian and Carnegie
Institutions and which were interrupted by the hurricane in 1919,
Doctor Bartsch, during a period of about six weeks in May and June,
1921, visited the Bahamas to secure new stock materia] and then
established a new set of cages for Cerions on Loggerhead Key, Tor-
tugas, in which the heredity work is conducted. Incidentally, he se-
cured a collection of about 20,000 Bahama Cerions and other mol-
lusks, as well as other invertebrates and a few birds, reptiles, and
amphibians.

Excursions into South America by several experts connected with
the Geological Survey resulted in the addition of noteworthy collec-
tions of land and fresh-water mollusks, by Dr. C. Wythe Cooke, from
Colombia, and Mr. George L. Harrington from Argentina, Bolivia,
and Chile.

Toward the end of the fiscal year it became possible to take ad-
vantage of certain facilities offered over the Government railroad
now under construction in Alaska and have Dr. J. M. Aldrich, asso-

60 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921,

ciate curator of insects, proceed to the interior of Alaska for the pur-
pose of making a general collection of insects from this entomologi-
cally almost unknown part of the country. The first step has thus
been taken toward the realization of a plan which would eventually
extend these explorations into the adjacent parts of Asia, and pos-
sibly the entire palearctic regions. Without thoroughly representative
material from that part of the world it will be impossible to gain a
satisfactory knowledge of our own subarctic and boreal province.
When last heard from Doctor Aldrich’s expedition had reached the
field and begun collecting operations.

About the same time Dr. William M. Mann, of the Bureau of
Entomology, and assistant custodian in the section of Hymenoptera,
division of insects, joined the Mulford biological expedition to South
America, which started on June 1, and which, it is hoped, will enrich
the Museum’s collections materially.

Allusion has already been made to Dr. W. L. Abbott’s expedition
to Santo Domingo, chiefly in the interest of plant collecting. The
only other botanical expedition to be mentioned is that of Dr. A. S.
Hitchcock, custodian of the grass herbarium, who left in April, 1921,
upon an extended collecting trip in the Philippines, Japan, China,
and the Indo-Malayan region. At the request of Dr. E. D. Merrill,
director of the bureau of science, he will elaborate the grasses for a
proposed flora of the Philippines. The primary object of the trip
is to gather data for a revision of the bamboos of the world.

WORK OF PRESERVING AND INSTALLING THE COLLECTIONS. PRESENT CONDITION OF

COLLECTIONS.

The conditions which at present hamper the development of the
biological exhibition series and which were detailed in my report of
last year have continued. What was then said about lack of space;
the closing of most of the exhibits on the second floor; the incon-
venience of the present arrangement to the specialists of the mammal
division; all these features remain unrelieved and explain the
apparent lack of progress in the exhibition halls, with the result
that the renewal of the bird exhibit, on the one hand, and the
development of the District of Columbia exhibit, on the other,
have come to a temporary standstill. The aim has therefore
been to improve, whenever possible, the quality of the specimens
already on exhibition, by remounting such skins as are still in good
condition or by substituting new material, whenever available, for
the old, faded, or poorly mounted animals. Some of the older speci-
mens, it must be remembered, date back to the early days when skins
were literally “stuffed,” while others have come to the Museum in
later years ready mounted from dealers or other museums not prac-
ticing the most advanced methods of taxidermy. This art has under-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 61

gone a wonderful transformation from the time Mr. Hornaday, as
chief taxidermist of the National Museum, and his colleagues intro-
duced modern ideas into the craft. By their knowledge of the living
animals and improved technique, the National Museum achieved
foremost rank, and a large number of lifelike mounts in the collec-
tion still testify to their skill and artistic sense. Naturally, how-
ever, not all the specimens from that time claim to be first class, and
there is evident a tendency to exaggerate the bulk of many animals.
Reacting against this tendency, the next generation of taxidermists
went to the other extreme, by only considering the bony structure
of the animals, with the result that quite a number of prominent
specimens look as if the skins had been stretched over the dry
skeleton without reference to the soft tissues and organs. Obviously
the ideal method of mounting a skin of a dead animal is to model
the body from a living specimen of the same species. When it was
decided to remount an African leopard in the exhibition series,
which, though being of average quality, showed certain obvious de-
fects when compared with a living leopard at the National Zoolog-
ical Park, arrangements were made with the superintendent, Mr.
N. Hollister, to allow Mr. W. L. Brown, the taxidermist, to work at
the park in front of the leopard case. The skin was stripped from
the old manikin and tanned, and then the necessary alterations made
as the living animal posed before the taxidermist. The experiment
was highly successful, with the result that, instead of an indifferent
specimen, there has now been placed on exhibition a lifelike leopard
showing all the characteristics of this graceful, yet ferocious cat.
In addition to this, a number of new mammals have been incorpo-
rated in the show collection during the year. As Mr. Hoy’s Aus-
tralian expedition has supplied a number of fine mountable skins
representing the unique characteristics of the fauna of that far-away
continent, a beginning has been made to renovate the entire Aus-
tralian mammal exhibit.

In my last annual report I called attention to the fact that the
closing of the north and west ranges on the second floor had made
it necessary to display the miscellaneous collection of the animals
of the District of Columbia in the whale hall. The insistence of
the public to see at least part of the mounted insect collection made
it desirable to further add to the heterogenous character of the ex-
hibits in that hall, by installing there five slide screens holding 80
unit trays of insects, displaying many striking forms from various
countries. When the splendid J. P. Iddings collection of butterflies
and moths, nearly all beautifully displayed in Riker mounts, was
given to the museum it was found expedient to install it, tempo-
rarily at least, in a couple of specially constructed cabinets so ar-
ranged that the visiting public could themselves pull out the

62 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

drawers, thereby guarding against the deterioration of the collec-
tion by continuous exposure to the light. This collection is not
labeled as yet, but the work is a slow one, and the time which the
custodian can give to this work so limited that it may be some time
before the task can be completed.

The curatorial work in the various divisions has progressed as
usual. In the division of mammals no cases for skins were received
during the year, so that this part of the collection is rather over-
crowded at the present time. The skulls are in much better condi-
tion, the improvement in the attic being notable. Additional cases
in the latter storage have also been furnished for the rearrangement
of the skeletons there, and considerable headway in their proper in-
stallation has been accomplished during the year. The alcoholic
collection has been gone over and the condition, like that of the rest
of the collections in this division, is considered good. All of the
larger cetacean material, formerly stored in the northeast basement
of the old museum has been removed to the new museum, where
portions of it are now stored. The valuable collection of small and
medium-sized cetaceans has been reinstalled in 30 quarter-unit cases,
arranged and labeled, and is now in good condition.

The rearrangement in the division of birds, due to the respacing
made necessary, was continued during the present year; that of the
parrots being completed. The weaver birds (Ploceidae) were also
rearranged. Otherwise most of the time has been occupied in label-
ing and distributing collections received during the year. A matter
causing a great deal of work is the poor quality of the cards
furnished for case labels, necessitating frequent renewals. Dur-
ing the year 260 cases thus requiring relabeling. One of the most
important works of the associate curator consists in posting the old
records for data, supplying missing data to entries in the old cata-
logues, searching out lost types and work of similar character, but the
work is of necessity slow, and but little time is available from daily
routine work. The search for old types was rewarded by finding
the type of one of Peale’s specimens, a nightjar (Caprimulgus aequi-
cauda), and possibly also one of the Polynesian kingfishers, but its
absolute identity has not yet been established. Some of the skins
have been remade by the taxidermists, but more work of this character
is needed. The accessioning this year of the large Richards egg col-
lection of 8,354 specimens, with the necessary cataloguing and label-
ing, has occupied a good deal of the time of the division, but as yet
it has been found impossible to number the individual eggs, a work
absolutely necessary and for which special provision has been asked,
as it can not be handled with the present force. The unusually large
number of alcoholics and skeletons received this year also received
proper attention, being catalogued and tin tagged, but the labeling

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 63

and placing of the larger specimens in separate containers had to be
suspended toward the end of the year on account of lack of suitable
jars. A considerable number of older skeletons were cleaned by
the preparators, but have not as yet been card catalogued and dis-
tributed.

In the division of reptiles, the regular routine work of caring for
the specimens has continued without interruption and the cata-
loguing brought up to date. The card cataloguing which had to
be suspended for some time was resumed, arrangement being made
for having part of the work done in the head curator’s office. All
the dry turtle material has now been transferred to the third story
and placed in metal-covered quarter unit cases.

Similarly, in the division of fishes the collections have been regu-
larly inspected, the containers refilled or changed when necessary, ~
jars and shelves cleaned, labels restored, and much of the older
undetermined material named and installed.

In the division of insects substantial progress has been made
in the care of the collections, especially in introducing the tray
system. Inability to obtain a sufficient number of drawers has been
the limiting factor in this work. The associate curator reports that
the collections, as a whole, are in as good condition as in any large
modern museum, the loss from museum pests being exceptionally
small, due to the excellent system of cabinets and drawers adopted.

The overhauling and putting in good order of the various lots of
material in the alcoholic storage of the division of marine inverte-
brates has about kept pace with the requirements of the collection.
Further sorting of miscellaneous.lots of unidentified material into
various major groups of invertebrates has been done. Only recently
the sorting of the rather comprehensive collections of the /ish Hawk
in Chesapeake Bay has been completed. Coincident with the great
arrearages in cataloguing, there is considerable named material on
hand waiting to be incorporated in the regular study series. Revi-
sion of the collection of brachyuran crustaceans is being carried
along with Miss M. J. Rathbun’s monographic reports, and the rear-
rangement of the entire alcoholic collections begun during the past
fiscal year is being continued as time permits. Doctor Bassler, of
the department of geology, in connection with his studies of the
Bryozoa, is working up the greater part of the recent unnamed mate-
rial and rearranging the entire collection of these forms.

From the division of mollusks the report is that the usual routine
of naming, labeling, cataloguing, and putting in place in the series
has been carried on as in former years. The arrangement and re-
installation of the west Atlantic Pelecypods has been completed.
The west Atlantic mollusks are now arranged according to latest
classifications and nomenclature and large quantities of new ma-

71305 ° —21——5

64 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

terial have been identified and incorporated. This places the east
coast collection in good order and easily available for study. Much
time has been devoted to classifying the Philippine collection ac-
cording to genera and species and arranging it in systematic order.
In the course of identifying material sent in by outside correspond-
ents a considerable portion of the collections has been arranged ac-
cording to most recent classifications. This is particularly true of
the west coast mollusks. Rearrangement of the collection of Ameri-
can shipworms is well under way, with a view to a monograph in the
near future. Since last February the time of one man for one day
each week has been devoted to the alcoholic mollusk collection. In
all cases where necessary new. containers have been supplied and the
older ones refilled. This work is progressing satisfactorily. Micro-
scopic slides of molluskan odontophores to the number of 724, be-
longing to the Thaanum collection and prepared by the late Rev.
R. Boog Watson, were registered and numbered by the use of a dia-
mond point. All defective slides were put into good repair. As may
be judged, the addition of so many slides has greatly enhanced the
already valuable collection of anatomical preparations belonging to
this division. A number of slides of odontophores and of the
glochidia of several species of naiad have been made as an addition
to our collection of microscopic slides. The reclassification and reno-
vation of the general recent collection have been continued through-
out the year. The North American fresh-water univalves and the
great and difficult families Turbinidae and Trochidae, among the
marine shells, were gone over in this way. The labeling and register-
ing of the great Thaanum collection of shells, most of which came
from the Hawaiian Islands, have been completed. Identification of
Philippine marine mollusks secured by the Albatross during the
cruise of 1907-1910 has been continued. As time goes on, more and
more of our material is being thoroughly identified, and great prog- _
ress in this respect has been made throughout the collection, espe-
cially in Hawaiian material, Philippine material, and in material
from the east coast of North America and the West Indies and land
and fresh-water mollusks from South America. The writing of head
labels for the species in the collection has been progressing during
the year until now a large part of all the collections in our charge
is furnished with these labels, adding greatly to convenience in con-
sulting them. It seems appropriate to mention at this time the vast
amount of time and labor saved by the use of the label holders and
blocking-sticks equipped with brass clips. Our collection is growing
so rapidly it is estimated that the entire time of at least one person
is saved by the use of these small inventions, making it possible for
us to keep current the work of the division without asking, to date.
for additional assistance. The economy of space in our storage cases

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 65

is also worthy of note. Approximately 5,000 cards have been written
during the year, among them complete bibliographies of the South
American Corbiculidae, the Ampullaridae of world-wide distribu-
tion, and the important genera of Philippine fresh-water shells.
This saves an enormous amount of time when working with the col-
Jections mentioned. The card catalogue gazetteer of the Philippine
Islands has been brought up to date. This is of material assistance
in working with the Philippine mollusks.

In the division of echinoderms considerable progress has been made
in overhauling the crinoid collection. The entire collection of dried
ophiurans has been rearranged in accordance with the classification
used by H. L. Clark in his Catalogue of Recent Ophiurans, and a
synopsis of the new arrangement has been prepared and hung upon
the cases so that anyone can now find any species or specimen of
ophiuran in the collection regardless of whether they know anything
about these animals or not. All of the specimens have been examined
and checked up with the card catalogue. To bring the collection into
line with present concepts it was found necessary to transfer many
species to new genera and to rename many others which are now
placed insynonymy. The entire collection of dried echinoids has also
been rearranged in accordance with the classification used in Agassiz
and Clark’s Hawaiian and other Pacific Echini, and all of the speci-
mens have been examined and checked up with the card catalogue;
a number of the specimens have been reidentified, and the generic
allocation of many of the species has been revised and brought up to
date.

Curatorial work in the division of plants has proceeded satisfac-
torily during the past fiscal year. In particular, Mr. Standley, in
the course of his work upon the Mexican trees and shrubs, has identi-
fied a large amount of Mexican material which had been mounted
but not named beyond the genus, and has redetermined many speci-
mens from the same region which had previously been misidentified.
Similar important work of revision has been done in several other
groups, notably in the composites by Dr. 8. F. Blake, the willows by
Dr. C. R. Ball, the grasses by Dr. A. S. Hitchcock and Mrs. Agnes
Chase, and the ferns by Mr. Maxon. As in several recent years, ma-
terial has been received more rapidly than it could be mounted and
prepared for the herbarium. This fact and the need of economizing
greatly in case room has led to the careful scrutiny of recent acces-
sions and the elimination of much material which, under more favor-
able circumstances, would have been added to the herbarium. For
similar reasons it has seemed desirable to select for immediate mount-
ing and installation material in certain groups under investigation
(for example, ferns, grasses, cacti) and from tropical America gen-
erally, in order to facilitate special investigations previously under

66 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, ‘1921.

way. The limit of this sort of selection is quickly reached, however,
and it is important that additional case room be provided without
delay and that means be found of mounting promptly all material
needed for permanent preservation. About 26,000 specimens have
been mounted during the year. These have been recorded, chiefly
through temporary clerical help. The segregation of type and dupli-
cate type specimens from the main herbarium has been continued
as opportunity offered, mainly in connection with other work, and
10, 136 specimens have now been distinctively labeled, catalogued, and
placed in individual covers in the so-called type herbarium.

At the beginning of this part of my report the general tendency
of the work of the preparators has been mentioned. Apart from
the specimens which found their places in the exhibition series much
work was spent on study material for the various divisions. Skins
of mammals and birds were made up or repaired for the study
series, many dry preparations made for the division of reptiles;
skeletons and skulls cleaned whenever needed for study. Mr.
W. L. Brown, whose remounting of the African leopard I have
already alluded to, also mounted a South American brocket deer
and a mule deer, which were placed in the exhibition series. A
large number of mammal skins were worked up, birds dismounted
and made into study skins, etc. Some time before his death Mr.
Wood had already begun to instruct Mr. Brown in his way of
preparing dry bird skins, as well as in his own particular methods
of mounting birds which had given him such a high rank among
bird taxidermists. It is therefore felt that Mr. Brown and. Mr.
George Marshall in the future will be able to fully take care of
this branch of the exhibits. Mr. Marshall, in addition to a large
amount of repair work, skinning fresh material coming in from local
collectors and the zoological park, tanning, etc., has mounted a num-
ber of smaller mammals, including several monkeys. Mr. J. W.
Scollick, the osteologist, in addition to cleaning a number of turtle
skulls and bones, prepared 179 whole skeletons, some exceedingly
delicate. Among the lot were no less than 155 bird skeletons, and
10 skeletons of rats, which were mounted for the Bureau of Animal
Industry, Department of Agriculture. Twelve skins of the same
series of rats were also mounted by Mr. Marshall for the same bureau
as an exhibit to illustrate the result of certain feeding experiments.
The bone-cleaning work under Mr. Scollick’s supervision resulted in
the cleaning of 57 mammal skeletons and 130 large mammal skulls.
Mr. C. E. Mirguet’s time was to a great extent taken up with two
tasks, the preparation and cleaning of the Florida whale skeleton,
donated by the Miami Aquarium Association and mentioned above,
and the building of a drum for the tanning of mammal skins. The

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 67

whale skeleton was being put in shape for photographing, measur-
ing, and description as preliminaries for an extensive monograph,
after which it will be hung in the exhibition whale hall. In addi-
tion he prepared a large number of reptile skins and skeletons for
the study series, besides plaster casts, repairs, etc., Mr. C. R. W.
Aschemeier has been assisting Mr. Brown in the mammal mounting
when required, has worked up 105 mammal and 21 bird skins and
gone over the entire exhibition collection of alcoholic invertebrates,
refilling and otherwise caring for 672 jars. Mr. Palmer’s work, up
to his death, was mostly on the faunal exhibit of the District of
Columbia.

Unfortunately the crowding of the collections in many of the divi-
sions must of necessity increase from year to year until additional
space shall be allotted to the department of biology. To that extent
the condition of the collections must be considered unsatisfactory and
must gradually grow worse. In other respects the conditions must
be pronounced as generally good. Nevertheless, the results of the
greater activity of the Museum since the stagnation period of the war,
which were presaged in my previous report, are already beginning
to make themselves manifest, inasmuch as the greater influx of mate-
rial ‘is consuming more and more of the time and efforts of the staff,
which has remained practically stationary during the last 20 years.
The mere physical care of the collections is all that can be accom-
plished in many instances.

The practice of sending the large mammal skins to the professional
tanneries to be tanned has had to be given up because of definite losses
and the general poor results. A rotary drum has been built in the
taxidermist shop; and when the necessary motor shall have been re-
ceived, it will be possible to handle the work and insure perfect
results.

The reports of the various divisions generally emphasize the free-
dom the collections are now enjoying from the usual destructive
museum pests. This is undoubtedly due to the systematic fumigation
with bisulphide of carbon.

The crowding alluded to above might be relieved, as far as the
division of plants is concerned, by the building of a balcony as advo-
cated on previous occasions. The plan, although approved and ac-
cepted as the only practical solution of a nearly intolerable condition,
awaits only the appropriation of sufficient means to be carried out.
Otherwise the condition of the National Herbarium is satisfactory,
but as far as the cryptogamic section is concerned it has been impos-
sible with the small staff to incorporate in it the material received
during the past year. and for several years past, though the speci-
mens have been pocketed and prepared for the herbarium as soon as

68 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

possible after they are received, and held ready for installation when-
ever one or more specialists can be secured.

RESEARCHES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE MUSEUM,

It is mainly by the quality and amount of its research work upon
the material intrusted to its care that the reputation of this Museum
rests and its existence is justified. I am happy to say that the past
year in no way falls short of the traditions of the Institution. The
appended bibliography clearly demonstrates this. It does not, how-
ever, fully represent the work accomplished during the current year,
as of necessity many of the papers published in 1920-21 were prepared
previously, nor does publication necessarily reveal the extent of the
research work going on. Briefly, the scientific activities of the staff
will be enumerated below, but before taking up the work in the divi-
sions I wish to call attention to the signal honor which was bestowed
by the National Academy upon a member of the staff for one of the
publications issued by the Museum. During the April meeting of
the academy this year, the Daniel Giraud Elliot gold medal, together
with the honorarium, was voted to Dr. Robert Ridgway in recogni-
tion of the eighth volume of The Birds of Middle and North America,
which forms part 8 of Bulletin 50 of the United States National
Museum, an award which is open to the zoologists and paleontologists
of the world. When announcing the award the chairman of the
Elliot medal committee said:

In undertaking this great work Ridgway was not only placing the crown on
his labors of a third of a century, but was giving expression to a plan made
by Baird a half century before. Ridgway was therefore doubly inspired when,
in 1901, he undertook the stupendous task of preparing a 10-volume treatise
on all the birds of the Western Hemisphere north of South America. With
unremitting zeal, and always maintaining the standard of thoroughness and
accuracy set by the first volume of the series, he continued his labors until
eight volumes have appeared, the last in 1919. Each volume contains about
850 pages, a total of 6,800 pages in all. Nearly 900 genera are defined and
over 3,000 species and subspecies described.

While giving expression to his exceptional powers of analysis and description
trained by years of experience and observation, Ridgway has produced a work
which in method, comprehensiveness, and accuracy, aS well as in volume, has
never been surpassed in the annals of ornithology.

This will give you an idea of some of the work which is being
quietly and unostentatiously performed in the divisions of this
Museum. Taking them up one by one the work of the scientific staff
may be epitomized as follows:

Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, jr., found but little time for scientific investi-
gation during the past year. Some progress was made, in conjunc-
tion with the late William Palmer, in investigating the characters
of the whale from Pablo Beach, Fla., and in conjunction with Mr.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 69

N. Hoilister, in making a preliminary examination of the Celebesian
mammals collected several years ago by Mr. H. C. Raven and
presented by Dr. W. L. Abbott. Dr. Robert Ridgway, curator of
birds, continued his work on, the ninth part of Bulletin 50, The
Birds of North and Middle America. The matter relating to the
higher groups, including genera of the Falconiformes, with the
illustrations, was nearly finished. A large number of bibliographic
references for the synonymies not only for part 9, but part 10 also,
were collected. It is pleasant to be able to report that the manuscript
for part 9 of this monumental work is nearing completion. Dr.
Charles W. Richmond, associate curator, owing to the press of the
routine curatorial work, found but little time for research. He
made some progress, with Mr. B. H. Swales, in their proposed joint
work on the birds of the island of Haiti, but not so much as they had
hoped. Progress was also made on their proposed list of type
specimens of birds in the National Museum, as mentioned in last
year’s report. Mr. J. H. Riley, aid, continued his studies of the
birds of Celebes and also furnished the curator with certain data
on generic characters of vultures and hawks. The study of the
North American turtles by Leonhard Stejneger progressed but
slowly, due to the lack of leisure from routine work. Miss Doris
Cochran, aid, besides identifying the African and Malaysian
snakes in the collection, devoted special attention to the reptiles
and amphibians of Haiti with a view to a herpetology of that
island. Mr, B. A. Bean, assistant curator of fishes, reports satisfac-
tory progress of the report by himself jointly with Dr. Henry W.
Fowler, of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, on the
fishes of the Wilkes exploring expedition and other collections.

Dr. J. M. Aldrich, associate curator of insects, when not occupied
with general routine duties, identifications, etc., devoted his time
mostly to the study of the muscoid group of Diptera, publishing two
short papers and nearly completing several others. Bulletin 116 of
the Museum, being a monograph of the dipterous genus Dolichopus,
the result of the joint labors of Mr. M. C. Van Duzee, Mr. Frank
R. Cole, and himself, was completed and published during the year.
The scientific activities of the honorary custodians of the various
sections will appear from the appended bibliography.

Dr. Mary J. Rathbun, honorary associate in zoology, has completed
the second paper in the series on crabs obtained by the fisheries inves-
tigation ship Endeavour, 1909-1914; it covers the Brachyrhyncha,
Oxystomata, and Dromiacea, and, like the first paper on the Oxyrhyn-
cha, will be published by the Commonwealth of Australia. Consid-
erable progress has been made on a bulletin on the spider crabs of
America. This is the second of her series of valuable monographs,
which, when completed, will describe and figure all the species of

crabs known from North and South America. She has also named
the crabs of various current accessions, notably of large collections
from California and Japan, including Formosa. Mr. Waldo L.
Schmitt, curator of marine invertebrates, has had but little time
left from routine duties for research work. ‘The first installment, or
part, of a report on the Macrura and Anomura of the Australian
Museum, collected by the “ndeavour, covering the families Peneidae,
Campylonotidae, and Pandalidae, has been completed. The reports
on the Macrura and Anomura of the American Museum Congo expe-
dition and the Barbados-Antigua expedition of the University of
Towa are still in progress. Mr. C. R. Shoemaker, assistant curator,
has given much of his time to the working up of several large lots of
Amphipods, which were sent to the Museum for identification. Sev-
eral reports were completed and published as shown in the bibli-
ography. Dr. Harriet Richardson Searle, collaborator, I am happy
to report, has resumed her studies on the Isopoda and has recently
completed a report on the collection of terrestrial isopods, secured
by Dr. E. J. Jakobsen in Java. Mr. Harry K. Harring, custodian of
rotatoria, has completed his report on the rotatoria of the Canadian
Arctic expedition and the first part of a report on the rotifers of
Wisconsin, which includes a revision of the Notommatid rotifers.
Both of these papers are now in press. The second part of the report
on Wisconsin rotifers is well under way. In addition, he has identi-
fied a number of interesting collections.

Dr. William H. Dall’s completed summary of the West Ameri-
can collection from San Diego to the Polar Sea was published as
Bulletin 112 of the United States National Museum. It includes
the results of research and collections made by west-coast contrib-
utors and the honorary curator since 1865, amounting to more than
2,100 species and varieties. A number of interesting new, forms,
including a second species of the peculiar South American Felipponea,
were received and described during the year, as indicated in the bib-
liographic list. Most of the time not occupied by routine matters
has been given to a monograph of the marine shell-bearing mollusks
of the Hawaiian Islands, based chiefly on the important collection
donated by Mr. D. Thaanum, of Hilo, Hawaii, and on the fisheries
steamer Albatross dredgings about the islands. This work is well ad-
vanced and only certain troublesome and prolific groups of minute
shells remain to be worked up of the material in hand. Mr, John
B. Henderson, a regent of the Smithsonian Institution, has been en-
gaged on a monograph of the Antillean land and fresh-water mol-
lusks. <A list of the mollusks collected by the Barbados-Antigua ex-
pedition of the State University of Iowa has been begun. Considerable
time was devoted to the identification of east-coast mollusks sent in
by correspondents. In the little remaining time he and the curator

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 71

have continued work on the mollusk fauna of the vicinity of Beaufort,
N.C. The report on New Operculate Landshells of Cuba, of which
he is coauthor with Dr. Carlos de la Torre, is now going through
press, while work on the monograph of American Tectibranchs has
been slowly continued. Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of mollusks,
has given much time to routine work of the division. Besides de-
voting attention to numbers of groups of mollusks, as shown by
a reference to the bibliography, considerable work was accomplished
toward a monograph of the American shipworms, the small east
American marine mollusks of the genera 7'riphora, Bittium, Cer-
ithiopsis, and Metaxia; likewise the family Vitrinellidae. In the
latter case particular stress has been laid on the examination of the
anatomic characters. <A little time has also been given to the Philip-
pine Nudibranch mollusks and the west American Caecidae, as
well as the marine mollusks of the Mazatlanic faunal area. Some
additional attention has also been given to the land mollusks of the
Windward and Leeward Islands. Owing to the difficulty of securing
the services of an artist, the work on the mollusks of the region about
Beaufort, N. C., has not been completed, but it is hoped that this will
be accomplished during the ensuing year. A new series of heredity
experiments with Cerions has been begun in the Tortugas to replace
those swept away by the hurricane two years ago. Mr. William B.
Marshall, assistant curator, had but little time remaining from his
routine curatorial duties for research, and but one paper in addition to
that listed in the bibliography was completed and is now ready for
the press, describing eight new species of South American naiads,
one of them representing a new genus. Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles,
custodian of the helminthological collections, and Dr. B. H. Ransom,
assistant custodian, have continued their studies of the parasites of
man and other animals. Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan, custodian of
madreporarian corals, is still engaged in studying the Museum’s
recent coral collections in connection with his geologic studies.

Mr. Austin H. Clark, curator of echinoderms, during the year con-
tinued work upon the crinoids of the Danish /ngolf expedition.

In the division of plants the following special investigations were
begun, continued, or completed during the year: Mr. Frederick V.
Coville, curator, has continued his studies in breeding and propagat-
ing the blueberries (Vaccinium), and has made frequent use of the
herbarium as heretofore. Mr. J. N. Rose, associate curator, has con-
tinued his studies of the Cactaceae, in collaboration with Dr. N. L.
Britton, director-in-chief of the New York Botanical Garden, work
which has been under way since 1911 under the auspices of the Car-
negie Institution of Washington. The publication of volume 2 of
the Cactaceae occurred during the past year, and volume 3 will prob-
ably appear during the coming year. The manuscript of volume

72 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

4 is well advanced. Doctor Rose has continued his studies, also, of
Ecuadorean plants referred to in the last report. Mr. William R.
Maxon, associate curator, has continued his investigation of the pteri-
dophyta and has prepared manuscript for Part VIII of Studies of
Tropical American Ferns. He has nearly completed a report, also,
upon the large collection of Haitian ferns made by Dr. W. L. Abbott
and Mr. Emery C. Leonard last year and has reviewed critically the
West-American allies of Sedaginella rupestris, describing several new
species. A popular article on the botanical gardens of Jamaica has
been contributed to the Smithsonian Annual Report. Mr. Paul C.
Standley, assistant curator, has nearly completed manuscript sum-
marizing his studies of the trees and shrubs of Mexico, and has sub-
mitted parts 2 and 3 for publication; parts 4 and 5 (conclusion) will
be turned in for publication during the coming year. He has recently
undertaken the preparation of a synoptical account of the flora of
Central America and Panama, based primarily upon the collections
in the National Herbarium, and in this connection proposes visiting
Salvador, in which region practically no botanical collecting has been
done. Mr. Standley also has completed manuscript for the Flora
of Alaska. Mr. Ellsworth P. Killip, aid, has finished his revision of
the genus Passiflora as represented in Mexico, Central America, and
Panama, and the manuscript is nearly ready for publication. Mr.
Emery C. Leonard, aid, has continued his study of the genus Scutel-
aria. With the assistance of Mr. Standley he has nearly completed
the identification of the phanecrogams of his Haitian collection. of
last year.

Dr. C. Hart Merriam, associate in zoology, continued his study on
North American bears. Mr. N. Hollister has continued work on the
African Artiodactyla, but it is greatly delayed by the housing of the
mammalian study series on different floors from the basement to
the attic. Dr. O. P. Hay, of the Carnegie Institution, has made
constant use of the collections in connection with his work on the
Pleistocene fauna of North America. The thanks of the Museum
are due to Mr. Oldfield Thomas, of the British Museum, for having
compared specimens sent to him with types and other material in
the collections under his care.

Dr. W. L. Abbott, associate in zoology, made two visits to the
division of birds for purpose of examining material collected in
Haiti and Santo Domingo by him, and giving information about the
specimens and localities. Dr. H. C. Oberholser, of the Biological
Survey, continued his determination of the Malayan material col-
lected by Dr. W. L. Abbott, and made occasional identifications in
other parts of the ornithological study series. Dr. A. Wetmore, also
of the Biological Survey, although away from Washington most of
the year, spent some time in work on the bird skeletons.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 73

Dr. E. R. Dunn, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, identified
various reptiles and batrachians during his visits to the Museum.
Dr. O. P. Hay and Mr. C. W. Gilmore have examined reptilian
material from time to time. Mr. Remington Kellogg, of the Bio-
logical Survey, has spent considerable time in the division of reptiles
identifying and studying the entire collection of American toads of
the genus Bufo with a view to preparing a monograph.

Mr. Walter Koelz’s studies of the whitefishes in the division of
fishes, mentioned in last year’s report, were concluded during the
present year. Similarly Mr. Carl L. Hubbs, of the University of
Michigan, studied the lancelets and lampreys of the collection in
connection with a forthcoming review of these groups. Dr. Henry
W. Fowler, Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, has greatly
aided in the ichthyological work of the Museum.

It is quite natural that when specialists visit the Museum to
examine the collections in connection with the working up or mono-
graphing larger groups in their home museums or own private col-
lections, a considerable amount of original identification or correc-
tion of current identifications of our own specimens must result. In
this way the National Museum benefits directly by the visits of
scientific workers from other institutions. Again, with the lack in
Washington of specialists in many groups, the Museum is entirely
dependent upon the generous assistance of many outsiders for proper
identification of specimens sent to it. For these favors grateful
acknowledgments are due. The division of insects has been par-
ticularly fortunate in this respect during the present year. Thus
Dr. E. P. Felt, State entomologist of New York, has recently re-
turned a large collection of the dipterous gall-midges (Cecido-
myidae) which were sent him several years ago. He has mounted
our material on microscopic slides, the only possible permanent
method for these very delicate and tiny flies; most of our material
is now returned as types of new species, and he has added a large
amount of his own type material, making our collection in the family
probably second only to that of the New York State Museum in the
world. As usual, Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, of the University of
Colorado, has aided greatly with the bees, while Mr. Nathan Banks
and Dr. R. V. Chamberlin, both of the Museum of Comparative
Zoology, have identified spiders and myriopods, respectively. So
much work of a similar nature has been done by the various mem-
bers of staff of the Bureau of Entomology in connection with their
other studies that it would be impractical to acknowledge the
assistance separately and individually.

What is true of the division of insects with regard to dependence
on the aid of specialists residing outside of Washington for aid in
identifying and classifying material due to insufficiency of the

74. REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

Museum staff holds good to a still greater extent in the division of
marine invertebrates. In fact, so extensive is the number of these
specialists, to whom the Museum is under great obligations, that a
mere list of their names, with the particular group of invertebrates
they have undertaken to work upon, must suffice for this report.
Tt includes the following: Dr. Henry B. Bigelow (Medusae, Cteno-
phora), Dr. L. A. Borradaile (Crustacea: Pontoniidae), Dr. L. R.
Cary (Alcyonarians), Dr. R. V. Chamberlin (Annelids and Gephy-
rea), Dr. N. A. Cobb (free-living Nematodes), Dr. Wesley R. Coe
(Nemerteans), Dr. Leon J. Cole (Pycnogonids), Dr. Henri Coutiere
(Crustacea: Crangonidae), Dr. R. P. Cowles (Phoronidea), Dr.
Joseph A. Cushman (Foraminifera), Prof. G. S$. Dodds (fresh-
water Entomostraca), Mr. A. A. Doolittle (fresh-water Entomo-_
straca), Prof. Max Ellis (Discodrilids), Dr. C. O. Esterly (marine
Copepods), Dr. A. G. Huntsman (Ascidians), Mr. Fritz Johansen
(fresh-water Entomostraca), Prof. Chauncey Juday (Crustacea:
Daphniidae), Dr. C. Dwight Marsh, (fresh-water Copepods), Dr.
Alfred G. Mayor (Scyphomedusae), Dr. Maynard M. Metcalf
(Salpa, Pyrosoma, Protozoa), Dr. J. Percy Moore (Leeches), Prof.
J. Playfair McMurrich (Actinians), Dr. Charles C. Nutting (Hy-
droids), Dr. Raymond C. Osburn (Bryozoa), Dr. Henry A. Pilsbry
(Barnacles), Capt. F’. A. Potts (Crustacea: Rhizocephalids), Prof.
Frank Smith (Earthworms), Dr. W. M. Tattersall (Crustacea:
Mysidacea), Dr. Aaron L. Treadwell (Annelids), Dr. Willard G.
Van Name (Ascidians), Prof. L. B. Walton (Planarians), Dr.
C. B. Wilson (parasitic Copepods).

The division of mollusks, although less dependent on outside help,
nevertheless gratefully acknowledges assistance received from vari-
ous specialists. Thus Dr. Frank Baker, of the University of TIli-
nois, and Dr. Victor Sterki, of New Philadelphia, Ohio, have kindly
determined material. Through the kind cooperation of correspond-
ents several puzzling points concerning Museum material have been
cleared up by references to the original types or typical material in
the collections under their care. These correspondents are Dr. H. A.
Pilsbry, of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia; Dr.
F. B. Loomis, of Amherst College; and Mr. W. F. Clapp, of the
Museum of Comparative Zoology. The Museum is under great obl-
gation to the United States Navy Department for cooperation of a
different kind, inasmuch as the investigations by Dr. Paul Bartsch,
curator of mollusks, into the shipworm problem were greatly expe-
dited through the efforts of the commanding officers of two of our
navy yards. The deeper understanding of the subject gained through
this investigation has greatly enhanced the value of our shipworm
material. The officers referred to are Admiral C. W. Parks, Chief
of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, United States Navy Department;

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 75

Commander C. D. Thurber, United States naval station, Pearl Har-
bor, Oahu, Hawaii; and Capt. Edward L. Beach, commandant of the
Mare Island Naval Station, Calif. As noted in previous reports, the
study of fossil mollusks is so dependent on that of the recent forms
that the paleontologists of the Geological Survey, notably Dr. W. P.
Woodring, Dr. Julia A. Gardner, Mr. W. C. Mansfield, and Dr. C. W.
Cooke spent considerable time studying material in the division of
mollusks.

The National Herbarium, as in previous years, is used frequently
by many members of the scientific staffs of the Department of Agri-
culture. In particular Dr. S. F. Blake, Dr. C. R. Ball, Prof. C. V.
Piper, and Dr. W. E. Safford have given attention to several critical
groups. Mr. Ivar Tidestrom has continued his work upon the plants

of Utah and Nevada.
RESEARCHES ELSEWHERE AIDED BY MUSEUM MATERIAL

The liberal policy of the Museum in keeping its collections and
laboratories open to visiting specialists and in sending out its mate-
rial to scientific workers in this and other countries, as outlined in last
year’s report, was continued during the present year to the mutual
advantage of both parties.

A number of prominent students visited the various divisions for
longer or shorter periods, as shown by the following list: Mr. Rem-
ington Kelloge used the cetacean and other osteological mammalian
material; Mr. Herbert Lang, American Museum of Natural History,
studied African squirrels; Mr. H. E. Anthony, of the same museum,
South American mammals; Mr. R. M. Anderson, Geological Survey of
Canada, specimens of caribou. The bird collections, besides being
freely used by members of the staff of the Biological Survey, were
examined by Dr. W. B. Alexander, Perth, West Australia; Dr.
Stanley C. Ball, Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii; Maj. Allan
Brooks, Okanagan Landing, British Columbia; Dr. H. C. Bryant,
Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, Berkeley, Calif.; Mr. James P.
Chapin, American Museum of Natural History, New York; Mr.
H. K, Coale, Highland Park, Ill.; Mr. Donald R. Dickey, Pasadena,
Calif.; Dr. Jonathan Dwight, New York City; Mr. J. H. Fleming,
Toronto, Canada; Dr. Joseph Grinnell, director of Museum of Ver-
tebrate Zoology, Berkeley, Calf.; Mr. Ludlow Griscom, American
Museum of Natural History, New York; Mr. A. K. Haagner, Pre-
toria, Transvaal; Mr. Romeyn B. Hough, Lowville, N. Y., Rev.
H. W. Hubbard, Peking, China; Mr. M. J. Kelly, Everhart Museum,
Scranton, Pa.; Mr, F. H. Kennard, Newton Center, Mass.; Mr. H.

Dr. L. C. Sanford, New Haven, Conn.; Mr. P. A. Taverner, Ottawa,
Canada; Mr. W. E. Clyde Todd, Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, Pa. ;
Prof. M. Oshima, of Japan. The above list covers those who ex-
amined the skin collection, and includes a goodly number of members
of the American Ornithologists’ Union, who spent considerable time
during the period of the meeting (Nov. 8-11, 1920) in investigating
various questions in connection with their work in other museums or
in relation to their own private collections. In the office of the divi-
sion of birds there is a case reserved for common birds of the Eastern
States, and certain birds about which inquiry is most frequent (the
nightingale, the robin redbreast of Europe, the starling, etc.), as well
as examples of a few birds noted for their bright colors or strange
features of bill, plumage, etc. The inquiries of many amateurs and
nature-study students are satisfied by reference to this case of birds,
but no list of these visitors or statistics as to their numbers has been
attempted. The following students have examined the series of
North American eggs or parts of it; Prof. W. B. Barrows, Agricul-
tural College, Mich.; Mr. H. W. Brandt, Cleveland, Ohio; Mr. EK. J.
Court, Washington, D. C.; Mr. A. F. Ganier, Nashville, Tenn.; Mr.
A. H. Hardisty, Washington, D. C.; Mr. R. G. Pape, Texarkana,
Ark.; Dr. A. G. Ruthven, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich. ;
Mr. W. E. Saunders, London, Ontario, Canada; Mr. J Fletcher
Street, Philadelphia, Pa.; Mr. George H. Stuart, 3d, Philadelphia, Pa.

Reptiles and amphibians were examined by Dr. Thomas Barbour,
Museum of Comparative Zoology; and Dr. E. R. Dunn, of the same
museum; and Dr. Sidney F. Blake, of the Department of Agricul-
ture. An unusual number of outside entomologists made prolonged
stays of from several weeks to several months studying our ma-
terials; thus Mr. Ray T. Webber, Melrose Highlands, Mass.; Mr.
John Tothill, of the Canadian entomological staff; Mr. C. F. W.
Musebeck, Dr. W. T. M. Forbes, and Mr. R. T. Shannon, all of
Cornell University. Many other entomologists have visited the divi-
sion of insects for a few days or a single day at a time, such as Mr.
S. W. Frost, of the entomological staff of the Pennsylvania State
College; Dr. W. J. Holland, director of the Carnegie Museum, Pitts-
burgh, Pa.; Dr. William Barnes, Decatur, Ill.; and Dr. C. T. Ramsden,
Guantanamo, Cuba. While no outsiders pursued any studies in the
laboratories of the division of marine invertebrates during the pres-
ent year, personal inquiries by members of the scientific staffs of the

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. vie

Bureau of Fisheries and of various bureaus of the Department of
Agriculture were frequent. Doctor Ball, recently appointed curator
of the Berenice Pahui Bishop Museum, in Honolulu, spent several
days in the division of mollusks reviewing the collections to ac-
quaint himself with the methods employed. Mollusks were also
studied by Dr. G. Dallas Hanna, of the University of California ;
Dr. Bruce Clark, of the same university; and Hon. Truman H.
Aldrich, who brought a lot of his material for comparison with that
in the Museum. The division also had numerous personal calls
from specialists in the Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Fish-
eries, and Geological Survey for information or examination of
collections as an aid in their particular lines of research. The visi-
tors calling for information on special points at the division of echi-
noderms were Mr. Wilfrid B. Alexander, of the Western Australian
Museum, Perth, West Australia; Dr. August F. Foerste, Dayton,
Ohio; Prof. T. Harvey Johnston, Queensland University, Brisbane;
Prof. Hiko Matsumoto, Sendai University, Japan; Capt. Frank A.
Potts, Cambridge, England; and Dr. 8S. Yoshida, Osaka, Japan. Mr.
Arthur de C. Sowerby, on his way to China to collect for the Museum,
stopped for several days and visited with the curators and examined
specimens. Dr. R. W. Shufeldt, Washington City, used the mammal,
bird, and fish collections considerably in photographing and com-
paring material. Among the professional botanists from elesewhere
than Washington who have worked in the herbarium during the year
are the following: Prof. H. M. Hall and Prof. Frederick E. Clem-
ents, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, who were engaged
in studying Atriplex, Chrysothamnus, and several other critical
genera; Dr. C. F. Millspaugh, of the Field Museum of Natural
History, engaged in preparing an account of the flora of Santa
Catalina Island, Calif.; Dr. P. A. Rydberg of the New York Bo-
tanical Garden, in connection with studies of Leguminosae and Com-
positae for the North American Flora; Mr. C. A. Weatherby, of East
Hartford, Conn., engaged in the study of certain genera of ferns;
Prof. 8. Mihara, director of the cotton experiment station at Mokpo,
Chosen, Japan; and Prof. Koyomitsu Ryu, of the College of Agri-
culture, Morioka, Japan.

A large number of specimens were asked for as loans by numerous
outside investigators and institutions as an aid in the study of their
own material. Mammals were loaned to Dr. J. A. Allen, Mr. H. E.
Anthony, and Mr. Herbert Lang, of the American Museum of Nat-
ural History, New York; the University of California, Department of
Geology; Mr. Arthur de C. Sowerby, London; Dr. Oldfield Thomas,
British Museum; Dr. G. D. Hanna, California Academy of Sciences;
Dr. Joseph Grinnell, University of California; Dr. R. W. Shufeldt,
Washington City. Birds were sent to Witmer Stone, Philadelphia

sity. From the division of fishes specimens were loaned to Mr. Carl
L. Hubbs, Zoological Museum, University of Michigan, and Dr.
Henry W. Fowler, Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. In
addition, specimens of fishes have been borrowed repeatedly by the
specialists of the Bureau of Fisheries. No insect material of any im-
portance was transmitted to investigators outside of the Museum.
Marine invertebrates were sent to Dr. K. H. Barnard, South African
Museum, Cape Town; Capt. F. A. Potts, Zoological Laboratory, The
Museums, Cambridge, England; Mr. W. A. Richter, North Milwau-
kee, Wis.; Dr. Frank Smith, University of Illinois; Mrs. Leon 5S.
Stone, New Haven, Conn.; Mr. Joel H. Swartz, geological laboratory,
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md.; Dr. A. L. Treadwell,
Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Plants sent out from the Na-
tional Herbarium to specialists or institutions outside of Washington
for study numbered 4,076, comprised in 71 lots, a slight falling off
from the previous year. Only the larger and more important loans
are mentioned in the following list: 208 specimens of Azalea lent to
the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, for monographic
study by Dr. Alfred Rehder; 184 specimens of violets of the western
United States lent to Dr. Ezra Brainerd, Middlebury, Vt., for study
in connection with his forthcoming monograph of the North Ameri-
can Violaceae; 298 specimens of Hosackia lent to the University of
California, Berkeley, Calif., for study by Prof. W. L. Jepson; 127
specimens of Mémulus lent to Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y., for
study by Mrs. Adele Lewis Grant, who is engaged in a revision of
the North American species of this genus; 108 specimens of F'2/z# lent
to the Gray Herbarium of Harvard University for study by Mr. C. A.
Weatherby; 280 specimens of Hypowis lent to the Gray Herbarium
of Harvard University for study by Miss Amelia E. Brackett; 269
specimens of Scrophulariaceae lent to the New York Botanical Gar-
den for monographic study by Dr. Francis W. Pennell; 1,474 speci-
mens of North American species of Piper lent to Prof. William
Trelease, of the University of Ilinois, Urbana, I], for use in connec-
tion with his monographic study of this genus, During the year 11

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 79

persons connected with the Department of Agriculture have borrowed
from the National Herbarium 44 lots of plants, aggregating 1,293
specimens.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS,

Duplicates distributed to schools, colleges, and institutions aggre-
gated 2,925 specimens, of which 1,242 were in 8 sets of mollusks,
regularly prepared for this purpose, and two sets of 91 fishes each
similarly prepared.

A collection of about 500 glass eels, averaging in length 57 mm»
was collected for and presented to Dr. Johannes Schmidt, of the
Carlsberg Laboratorium, Copenhagen, Denmark, to assist him in his
studies of the development of the eel. Of the alcoholic specimens of
the 17-year cicada, collected for the use of colleges and similar
institutions, as mentioned in last year’s report, one lot of 100 speci-
mens was distributed this year.

Exchanges to the number of 12,530 specimens were arranged, 11,926
being botanical. Of the 604 zoological secimens, the most important
exchange consisted of 149 bird skins, which were sent to the Museum
of the University of Michigan; the remainder were disposed of by
the divisions of mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes, marine invertebrates,
and mollusks in small lots as exchanges with various institutions and
individuals. The largest exchanges of plants were sent to the New
York Botanical Garden, British Museum of National History, Mr. J.
Theriot, Le Havre, France, Gray Herbarium of Harvard University,
Field Museums of Natural History, California Academy of Sciences,
and the College de Longueuil, Quebec. The others, made up of sets

of less than 500 specimens, were exchanged with 53 different insti-

tutions and individuals.

TOTAL NUMBER OF SPECIMENS IN DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY, INCLUDING NUMBER OF DUPLICATE
SPECIMENS.

As explained in previous reports, the numbers given below can
only be approximately correct. It would manifestly be impossible
to count the specimens individually. The figures presented are based
upon previous estimates, the numbers received during the year being
added, and the specimens disposed of by gifts and exchange, or other-
wise expended, being deducted. It should be noted that this census
does not include the collections of mammals and birds in the custody
of the Biological Survey.

Duplicates have not been segregated in several of the divisions
for various reasons, but more particularly because a large amount of
material has yet to be worked over monographically, so as to make
it safe to deplete the series. The figures furnished in last year’s re-
port for the duplicates of fishes contained not only the number of
duplicates actually segregated but also a rough estimate as to the

71305°—21 6

80 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

possible number of duplicates which the rest of the series might
yield when eventually worked up. With the receipt this year of
approximately 100,000 specimens of Philippine fishes this method
of arriving at a fair estimate of the number of duplicates available
for distribution proved utterly inadequate. It has therefore been
considered the better plan only to list the number of duplicates
actually segregated. It may be further noted that the figures for the
division of plants are exclusive of the lower cryptogams. In the
following table the figures in parentheses indicate the number of
duplicates included in the total:

By GerorcEe P. Merritt, Head Curator.

Considered with reference only to the work actually accomplished
along lines of investigation, the year ending June 30, 1921, has, with
the possible execption of the year immediately preceding, been one
unprecedented in the history of the department.

Accessions——A marked increase in the number of accessions is
shown over those recorded in any one of the past 15 years. The total
number listed is 231, a gain of 51 over last year, and of 29 over the
recorded number in 1914-15, next highest on the list. Of the acquisi-
tions of the present year, 151 were received as gifts, 39 as exchanges,
24 as transfers from other departments of the Government, chiefly
the Geological Survey, 5 were acquired by purchase, and 5 as deposits
or loans. A considerable quantity of the gift and transfer material
will, doubtless, on examination prove to be duplicate or undesirable,
what proportion it is yet too early to state, but apparently the total
value is well up to the average. The additions to the geological,
mineralogical, and petrological collections number 1,772 individual
specimens and 140 boxes and trays, only a few of which have as yet
been unpacked and assorted, but which it is estimated will yield a
total of not less than 20,000 specimens, while upward of 50,000 speci-
mens have been added to the paleontological collections.

The largest contributor to the division of geology was as usual
the Geological Survey, whence were transferred 1381 boxes and 7
trays of material, much of it being described sets of rocks and ores.
From this source also were received 5 specimens of the platinum-
bearing covellite from the Rambler Mine, Wyo.; the type set of
specimens from the R and S molybdeum mine, N. Mex., described
by E. S. Larsen and C. S. Ross; and a small collection of carnotite
minerals and associated ores from Routt County, Colo., collected
and reported on by Hoyt S. Gale.

Accessions of materials from South America have been especially
important. Through the courtesy of the Guggenheim interests,
Custodian Frank L. Hess was enabled to add a large series illustra-
tive of the Bolivian tin and tungsten ores, and through Messrs L. L.
Ellis and Don Stewart, of Oruro, Bolivia, and Prof. Joseph T.
Singewald, of Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, to secure other
examples of like nature. From Mr. Tomas A. Le Breton, am-

81

bassador from Argentina, was received a representative series of
Argentina ores and minerals.

Important additions were made to the borate collections from
California by Assistant Curator Foshag. Other contributions re-
ceived through the same source include specimens of rich silver
ore from the California Rand Silver Co., Randsburg, Calif.; of cerar-
gyrite from the Calico District, gift of J. R. Lane, of Yermo, Calif. ;
and an uncommonly large and pure example of cinnabar contributed
by the New Almaden Mining Co.

Among the radium-bearing materials received are carnotite ore
from the Long Park, Colo., properties of the Radium Luminous
Materials Corporation, furnished by the Radium Information Serv-
ice, New York City; euxenite ore, sent at the request of F. L. Hess
by the Orser-Kraft Feldspar Co. (Ltd.), of Perth, Ontario; torber-
nite from White Signal, Grant County, N. Mex., gift of the Radium
Treatment & Sanatorium Co., Silver City, N. Mex.; and approxi-
mately a kilogram of uraninite from Joachimstahl, Bohemia, ac-
quired by exchange from Ward’s Natural Science Establishment.

Among miscellaneous gifts may be mentioned two specimens of
gold ore from the Mother Lode, Calif., and one of the White Pine
County, Nev., scheelite, received from W. J. Loring, San Francisco,
Calif.; examples of crude tale of unusually fine quality from Death
Valley, sent by the Pacific Minerals & Chemical Co., Glendale, Calif. ;
bauxite from British Guiana, donated by the Demerara Bauxite
Co., Philadelphia; a specimen of a sandstone used as a pulp
stone in grinding wood for paper making, contributed by the Inter-
national Paper Co., New York City; and a sand-rock used for
various industrial purposes, by the National Silica Co., Oregon, Ill.

An exceptionally large example of filamentous basalt, Pele’s hair,
from Kilauea Crater, Hawaiian Islands, was presented by Prof. T. A.
Jaggar through Dr. H. S. Washington, and four specimens of an
unusual form of lava from the eruption of a volcano in San Salvador
in 1917, together with photographs of the region, were received from
Bartholomew McIntire, San Francisco, through the Department of
State.

But four additions to the meteorite collection were recorded dur-
ing the year. These comprised two examples of the Forsyth County,
N. C., iron, and one of the Chinautla, Guatemala, by exchange with
Ward’s Natural Science Establishment; a fragment of the Troup,
Tex., stone, deposited by the University of Texas; and a piece weigh-
ing 75 pounds cut from a 475-pound mass of iron found in Owens
Valley, Calif., in 1913, by Mr. Lincoln Ellsworth, of New York City.

The extent of the mineral collection was materially increased. A
large number of new or rare species, including fine examples of

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 83

precious opal from Nevada, a suite of rare sulphosalts from the Bin-
nenthal, Switzerland, and miscellaneous minerals, chiefly from for-
eign sources, were obtained through exchange with Ward’s Natural
Science Establishment. In a lke manner were added a number of
Italian minerals, received from Prof. Alberto Pelloux, Genoa; mis-
cellaneous minerals from California, including some rare sulphates
and an attractive exhibition specimen of beautifully crystallized
pink halite from Searles Lake, received from Mr. M. Vonsen, Peta-
luma, Calif.; interesting lead and vanadium minerals sent by Mr.
C. A. Heberlein, Supai, Ariz.; and a collection of the unusual zeo-
lites from North Table Mountain, near Golden, Colo., received from
the School of Mines at Golden.

The Rainbow Ridge Mining Co., through Mr. Archie Rice, New
York City, presented a suite of precious opal from their mines in
Humboldt County, Nev. These show the variations in the coloring
of the opal, ranging from the very dark or “black” opal to the
palest opalescent tints. .The collection forms a part of an exhibit
composed entirely of opals in the matrix.

Additional accessions of note include the following gifts: Rare
copper minerals from Chuquicamata, Chile, presented by Guggen-
heim Bros., New York City; exceptional specimens of wolframite,
by J. F. Aguilar Revoredo, Oruro, Bolivia, and of the rare mineral
hewettite, by A. O. Egbert, Prescott, Ariz.; sphenomanganite and
catoptrite from Sweden, new to the collections, by Col. W. A. Roe-
bling, Trenton, N. J.; inyoite from New Brunswick, by E. J. Arm-
strong, Erie, Pa.; a large specimen of bismuthinite, by W. H. Wey-
her, Alta, Utah, and an exceptional specimen of sphalerite, by C. H.
Short, Salt Lake City, both obtained through the efforts of Mr. Vic-
tor C. Heikes; a large group of fluorspar crystals, by the Diamond
Fluorspar Co., Karbers Ridge, Ill.; described specimens of augite
and apthitalite, by Dr. Henry S. Washington; and several examples
of semiprecious stones, by F. M. Myrick, Johannesburg, Calif.

A most important addition to the collection of gems and gem
minerals was afforded by the acquisition, through the Frances Lea
Chamberlain fund, of 56 cut and uncut tourmalines from Mesa
Grande, Calif. The cut forms include both cabochons and facetted
stones and show the rich variety of coloring characteristic of this
mineral; the crystals are of varying sizes, showing two to three
colors in each example. Through the same means were secured 9
cabochons of chrysoprase; 6 blue zircons from: Queensland, Aus-
tralia; 4 carved jades; 2 cabochons of Persian turquoise; 2 cut gems
each of Madagascar orthoclase and wernerite; 1 Australian opal
carved in the form of a pansy blossom; 4 blue and yellow Australian
sapphires; and an Australian opal, cut cabochon, weighing 31.9

84 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921,

carats. A cut topaz weighing 92.4 carats was received as a loan
from Mrs. George P. Merrill.

The principal addition to the petrological collection is the ex-
tensive and valuable series comprising upward of 300 hand speci-
mens of igneous rocks from the islands of the Pacific and Indian
Oceans, collected by the late Dr. Joseph P. Iddings and presented
by his sister, Mrs. Francis D. Cleveland, of Cambridge, Mass. These,
one regrets to state, have not as yet been fully described. Several
brief papers under the joint authorship of Drs. Iddings and
Morely are sufficient to show their interest and importance, but it is
evident much work upon them remains to be done. Including also
the scientific portion of Dr. Iddings’s library, as well as valuable
collections assigned to other departments, this is considered one of
the most noteworthy accessions of the year.

Other additions, received by transfer from the Geological Survey,
consist of collections of rocks from the western New England and
eastern New York lime belt, collected by Prof. T. Nelson Dale, and
miscellaneous rocks from Montana, Colorado, and Washington, col-
lected by Messrs. Hancock, Pishel, and Beekley.

The accessions in the section of invertebrate paleontology are of
especial interest on account of the wide range of localities repre-
sented. China, Australia, Tunis, Thrace, Java, Philippines, Hawaii,
Trinidad, Jamaica, Haiti, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia
are the most prominent of the foreign sources.

Perhaps the most valuable of these foreign collections are the
molluscan types from Bowden, Jamaica, described by W. P. Wood-
ring and deposited by Johns Hopkins University, and important
acquisitions of fossil invertebrates and plants collected in China by
Prof. George D. Louderback, of the University of California. Large
collections from Haiti, the result of surveys being made for the
Haitian Government under the direction of the Geological Survey,
through which institution they were presented by the Haitian Re-
public, must also be mentioned, as well as a valuable lot of Tertiary
fossils from Australia, received as an exchange from the National
Museum, at Melbourne.

Additions to the Cambrian collections are comprised in three
accessions. About 6,000 specimens, collected and studied by Secretary
Walcott, were deposited by the Smithsonian Institution; approxi-
mately 1,000 from the Upper Cambrian of Wisconsin, received as a
gift from Dr. W. O. Hotchkiss, State geologist, were secured through
the efforts of Dr. E. O. Ulrich to supplement the monographic studies
by himself and Dr. C. E. Resser; and 332 specimens from Lancaster
County, Pa., were presented by Dr. H. Justin Roddy, of Millers-
ville, Pa.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 85

Approximately 25,000 specimens of Silurian and Devonian fossils
from Maine, representing the final shipment of collections made by
the late Prof. H. 8. Williams, have been transferred from the Geo-
logical Survey. The collections from these horizons have been
further supplemented by valuable and much-needed materials se-
cured through three exchanges with Raymond R. Hibbard, of Buf-
falo,)N.» .¥.

Additional noteworthy accessions are: An especially selected lot
of Carboniferous foraminifera, gift of Hon. Charles H. Morrill,
Lincoln, Nebr.; a large collection containing many new species, par-
ticularly of fossil sponges and trilobites, from a hitherto unrepre-
sented area in Nevada, received in exchange from Mr. H. G. Clinton,
Manhattan, Nev.; and a large slab of fossiliferous Ordovician lime-
stone from southwestern Ohio, obtained by the curator for exhibi-
tion purposes.

By far the most important accession to the section of vertebrate
paleontology is a collection of more than a hundred specimens of
vertebrate remains, mostly mammalian, representing a new Pliocene
fauna of 30 or more species, obtained by Mr. J. W. Gidley, working
under the joint auspices of the National Museum and the Geological
Survey. The collection includes basic material for two skeleton
restorations, one of a little-known species of mastodon, the other a
new species of Glyptotherium. Mr. Gidley also collected from the
“bone quarry ” at Agate, Nebr., a block or slab, 54 by 34 feet, and
14 inches thick, weighing upward of 4,000 pounds, and containing
numerous fossil bones, mostly of the little two-horned rhinoceros
Diceratherium cooki.

Mr. C. W. Gilmore, while investigating certain fossiliferous areas
in New Mexico, noted elsewhere, secured interesting mammalian
remains.

Of the materials acquired by exchange, mention may be made of
a fossil turtle, Bystra nanus, a rare specimen and the type of the
genus, received from the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences; a
disarticulated skull and lower jaws of the crested dinosaur Stephan-
osaurus, the first representative of this reptile to be secured for the
national collections; part of a skull and lower jaw of a Pleistocene
elephant from an unknown locality, and an elephant tooth from
Otranto, Italy, received from Ward’s Natural Science Establish-
ment; approximately 200 specimens of Pleistocene mammals from a
cave deposit near Coconino County, Ariz., received from the Uni-
versity of Arizona; and two skulls of Diceratheriwm cooki and casts
of two Permian reptile skulls from the University of Chicago.

The lower jaw of a Pleistocene mastodon from near Yazoo City,
Miss., gift of the Yazoo Commercial Club; a jawbone with teeth
intact of the fossil shark, E'destus heinrichsii, gift of the Southern

86 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

Coal, Coke & Mining Co., St. Louis, Mo.; and a fossil elephant skull,
acquired by purchase, are additional accessions worthy of note. Men-
tion may also be made of the acquisition of an original oil painting
of a life restoration of the flying reptile Ornithostoma which was
deposited by the Smithsonian Institution.

Of prime importance among the accessions to the section of
paleobotany are large collections from the Eocene formations of
southeastern North America, described and figured by E. W. Berry
in Professional Papers of the United States Geological Survey.
Following these should be noted gifts of unusually well-preserved
exhibition and study specimens from Malheur County, Oreg., and
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, the former presented by Mr. Sam Ballantyne,
Boise, and the latter by Henry J. Rust, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
Valuable material was also included in the extensive collection from
China received from Professor Louderback, mention of which is
made above.

Explorations and ex peditions—Explorations were confined wholly
to the division of paleontology. The field season of 1920 was spent
as usual by Secretary Walcott in the Canadian Rockies. His work
had for its object the determination of the character and extent of
the great interval of nondeposition of sedimentary rock-forming
material along the Front Range of the Rockies west of Calgary,
Alberta, and the clearing up of the relations of the summit and base
of the great Glacier Lake section of 1919 to the geological forma-
tions above and below. Early in July work was begun along the
Ghost River northeast of Banff; the Rocky Mountain front was
studied and among its cliffs a new formation of Lower Middle
Cambrian age was determined. Forty miles north of Lake Louise
a geological section was studied in detail that tied in the base of
the Glacier Lake section with the Middle and Lower Cambrian
formations. Proceeding to the upper valley of the Clear Water
River, a most perfectly exposed series of limestones, shales, and sand-
stones of Upper Cambrian and later formations was found, which
cleared up the relations of the upper portion of the Glacier Lake
section to the Ordovician formations above.

During July, 1920, and again in January, 1921, Curator Bassler
was engaged in the preparation of casts of type specimens of fos-
sils in the Walker Museum, University of Chicago, in continua-
tion of plans to attain for the national collections their proper com-
pleteness by having represented all available type specimens. The
casting of all the Devonian, Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian types
in the Walker Museum, amounting to some thousands of specimens,
was accomplished during these two visits.

Dr. E. O. Ulrich, of the Geological Survey, associate in paleon-
tology, continued his field researches on the Cambrian and Ordo-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 87

vician rocks of the Appalachian and Mississippi Valleys during the
first three and last two months of the fiscal year. Accompanied by
his assistant, he studied numerous areas to determine doubtful geo-
logical points, during the course of which he obtained valuable col-
lections which will come to the National Museum.

Early in the year Assistant Curator J. W. Gidley was detailed to
visit Williamsburg, Va., to investigate a reported find of some fossil
bones in that vicinity. These proved to be the remains of an extinct
species of whale of Miocene age, but were incomplete and too badly
damaged to make possible the recovery of a sufficient number for an
exhibition mount.

Two other important field expeditions were undertaken by Mr.
Gidley during the year, the first as the result of reports from Mr.
Kirk Bryan, of the Geological Survey, who had discovered some
promising localities for fossil vertebrate remains while making an
extensive survey of the underground water resources in the San
Pedro Valley of Arizona. Mr. Gidley spent two months or more in
the Arizona field, visiting three localities in the San Pedro Valley
and one in Sulphur Springs Valley. The last yielded only fragmen-
tary remains of Pleistocene mammals, but much better results were
obtained in the San Pedro Valley, where two localities, one about
2 miles south of Benson, the other at the Curtis ranch, about 14 miles
south of Benson, yielded remains of about 30 species, mostly mam-
mals, which seem to represent a new or little-known Pliocene fauna.
Mr. Gidley shipped 21 boxes, with an aggregate weight of about
4,630 pounds. <A portion of this material will be suitable for ex-
hibition, the most important being remains sufficiently complete to
form the basis of skeleton restorations of a rare species of mastodon
and a large edentate. Other remains represent extinct species of
camels, carnivorous animals, rodents, turtles, and birds.

The second expedition, entirely under Museum auspices, included
a trip to Agate Springs, Nebr., where was secured a large slab, or
block of limestone containing remains of the little rhinoceros Dicera-
theriwm cooki, This will be cleaned and exhibited with the bones
in situ.

Mr. C. W. Gilmore was detailed in April to visit a fossiliferous
area. some 36 miles north of Santa Fe, N. Mex., for the purpose of
making collections of paleontological material, and for determining
the advisability of reserving certain lands for national monument
purposes. A skull, lower jaws, and other bones of an extinct rhi-
noceros, various limb and foot bones of a camel, and a small collec-
tion of miscellaneous specimens were obtained as a result of this trip.

Work of preserving and installing the collections—Numerous
minor changes have been made in the exhibition collections by the
addition of new material. A special case to accommodate two large

88 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

masses of molybdenum ore has recently been installed, and an in-
structive addition made by Mr. Shannon to the economic series in
the form of weighed samples of some of the more important ores,
each of which is accompanied by samples of its constituent elements
in their relative portions. The saline series has been greatly im-
proved by the addition of materials collected in California by Mr.
Foshag. To make space for a collection of ores from Argentina, a
series of mercury-antimony ores from Huitzuco, Mexico, was removed
from exhibition.

Information sufficient for the disposition of some 250 boxes of mis-
cellaneous material stored for the Geological Survey in the summer
of 1919 having been received from the Director, the task of assorting
them was undertaken and carried out so far as the identity of the
boxes could be definitely determined. This proved both tedious and
difficult owing to careless and incomplete labeling. A part of the
boxes were returned to the survey, some turned over to various sur-
vey men located in the National Museum, and 128 boxes were acces-
sioned as a transfer. Of the last named but a small proportion has
as yet been unpacked. The work goes slowly since much of the ma-
terial is in such a condition that the disposition of each lot requires
careful consideration, and in many cases can not be made without
thorough investigation and consultation with the survey collectors.
Where decision is possible the material has either been rejected as
unsuitable for museum purposes or has been catalogued and incorpo-
rated in the collections.

Two cases supplementing the collection of gems have been added to
the exhibits in the mineral hall. One of these contains gem minerals
in the matrix or as found in nature; the other illustrates the varieties
and occurrence of precious opal.

Incidental to the visit of Madame Curie the exhibit illustrating
radio-activity was materially enlarged and reinstalled in two cases
at the east end of the mineral hall, where it is more attractive as well
as more instructive than as formerly displayed.

The study series of minerals has been entirely overhauled, cleaned,
and rearranged. A number of specimens were transferred to other
series, and the drawer labels improved to facilitate the ready location
of specimens. The duplicate collection has likewise been overhauled
and a large amount of worthless material discarded. Several hun-
dred petrographical specimens selected from old sets broken up have
been incorporated in the study series of rocks.

The great influx of new collections to the section of invertebrate
paleontology has required continued rearrangement of the study
series in order to accommodate the new material. Much time has to
be spent each year in this purely manual labor, but condensation and
elimination of duplicates is necessary since the collections at present

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 89

nearly fill the available space. The Cambrian collections under the
charge of Secretary Walcott were so condensed during the year that
an entire room in the Smithsonian building was made available for
other purposes. Assistant Curator Resser has also reduced the Cam-
brian collections housed in the Museum Building until they now
occupy the minimum of space and still remain accessible.

Similar work on the post-Cambrian Paleozoic collections has been
carried on by Curator Bassler. Additional space afforded by the
transfer of a number of steel cases from the department of anthro-
pology has made possible the withdrawal of all material from storage,
so that all collections are now easily accessible. Lack of time, how-
ever, has prevented completion of the arrangement of large collec-
tions of Devonian invertebrates known as the Williams collection,
although Doctor Resser has devoted considerable time to this work.
The preparation and classification of 10 boxes of Cambrian and
Ordovician fossils forwarded by the Canadian Geological Survey
for study by Secretary Walcott occupied about two months of Doctor
Resser’s time.

The Mesozoic collections have as heretofore been cared for by
Dr. T. W. Stanton, Dr. W. H. Dall has kept the biologic collections
of the Cenozoic series up to their usual high standard, and Dr. T. W.
Vaughan has cared for the numerous large accessions secured through
his activities.

Miss Jessie Beach, aid, has assisted in all work on both the exhibi-
tion and study series where literary and clerical help were required.
Her duties have included reading of proof, preparation of manu-
script, registering and numbering specimens, and general’ routine
work of the division.

The preparation of photographic material for illustration, par-
ticularly of fossil insects, cephalopods, and protozoans, often micro-
scopic, has as heretofore devolved on Messrs. Bassler and Resser, and
been executed with their customary skill and taste.

In addition to the cleaning and rearranging necessary every year
exhibition work in the section has included the preparation of a
mount illustrating an Ordovician sea beach; an exhibit of fossil in-
sects occupying one-half of an upright case; and work toward the
improvement of the stratigraphic exhibit of Paleozoic faunas. The
forms are often small and so inconspicuous to the average visitor
that in many cases enlarged photographs are now introduced with
the specimens. Experience has shown that a picture calls attention
to the descriptive label and this to the fossil itself.

Dr. Frank Springer has selected from his collection an instructive
and showy biological series of fossil crinoids, an exhibit which occu-
pies two entire cases, and which can not be surpassed in any museum.

90 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921,

Several additions to the exhibits of fossil vertebrates resulted from
the work in that section during the year. A skeleton of Brachycera-
tops montanensis, unique in being the smallest horned dinosaur yet
discovered, forms a most interesting addition to the exhibits illus-
trative of the Ceratopsia. Mr. N. H. Boss is to be highly commended
for the excellence of the mount, which in some respects proved to be
a most difficult subject. It might also be mentioned that the Na-
tional Museum now has mounted skeletons of the smallest as well
as the largest individuals of this race of dinosaurs, and, indeed, the
only ones of their kind in any museum in the world (pl. 2).

Mr. Boss also prepared the skeleton of the smallest lizard, Sanwa
ensidens, the type specimen, which had been in the Museum for the
past 50 years in the condition as received from the field and described
by Leidy. Instead of consisting of but a few bones, the specimen
was found to have the greater part of the skull, the backbone, and
numerous other bones preserved. This is a most important specimen
from a historical standpoint, being the first Varanid lizard to be de-
scribed from North America; also, it is now known to be the most
perfect skeleton of its kind as well as the most ancient.

The work of mounting the skeleton of the fossil wolverine, Gulo,
from the Cumberland cave deposit, reported as under preparation
last year, has been completed by Mr. Horne, as has also that of a com-
posite mount of a bear. There are now on exhibition three skeleton
mounts from the material collected from this deposit several years
ago by Mr. Gidley (pl. 3).

Mr. Horne has also completed mounts of the skulls of JZonoclonius
flecus and Elephas primigenius and cleaned and restored the miss-
ing parts of eight large Oreodont skulls from the Miocene of Oregon.

A number of Titanothere skulls have been prepared for use in a
special exhibit comprising some 26 individuals now being installed
in a new case in the southeast corner of the exhibition hall. Mounts
for more than half of these are made, and the work is well under way.

Mr. Barrett was engaged for the entire year in preparatory repair
work, chiefiy on specimens from the study collections. Special men-
tion should be made of the complete overhauling of the many trays
of miscellaneous Titanothere materials. Scattered parts of indi-
viduals were assembled, broken bones repaired, and the material ar-
ranged in standard trays in the steel cases, thus rendering them
easily accessible. Several hundred individual bones of the Cumber-
land cave material, several small collections received from the United
States Geological Survey, a large cetacean skull from the diatom de-
posits of California, numerous Ceratopsian fragments, and a consid-
erable portion of a wolf skeleton have also received attention.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. oR |

_ Mr. Gidley has continued his systematic arrangement of the Fort
Union materials, adding about 200 to the identified and 450 to the
catalogued lists of this collection.

Since the resignation of Mrs. Stelle, the position of aid in paleo-
botany has remained vacant. Messrs. Bassler and Resser have there-
fore been obliged to look after the work of this section. Exhibition
work has dealt mainly with the biologic series occupying the long
wall case in the paleobotanical hall. This exhibit, now well advanced,
illustrates the biologic relationships of fossil plants, and, supple-
mented by ample descriptive labels and numerous diagrams and pho-
tographs, shows admirably the evolution of these organisms. Miss
Beach has assisted in the cataloguing and numbering of the new ac-
quisitions in the section.

Present condition of the collections.—'The mineral collection,
though ranking but third among those of the public museums of the
country, is nevertheless entitled to almost first consideration on ac-
count of the method of display. As in the year past, the gem portion
of this collection has been under the immediate supervision of Miss
Margaret Moodey, to whose taste is due much of its attractiveness.
This collection has greatly prospered through the Chamberlain en-
dowment. Were it necessary to emphasize the desirability of having
a perfectly definite specified sum from which could be drawn imme-
diately funds for purchase, it is here offered. Among the entire
series the opals have perhaps profited the most. The collection as a
whole is fairly balanced, though naturally lacking as complete a
series of diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and other expensive stones as
might be wished.

Little has been added to the exhibition series in physical and
chemical geology, the petrographical series and the collections of
larger materials grouped under the heads of rock-weathering, glacia-
tion, vulcanism, etc., remaining practically unchanged from last
year. The meteorite exhibit has received several important addi-
tions as listed below:

The collection, though ranking but third among the public collec-
tions in America, is nevertheless one of great importance on account
of the unusually large proportion of stones which have been the
subject of systematic investigation. The total number of falls and
finds now represented is 490.

92 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921,

As a whole, the exhibition collections throughout the department
are now in good order, although there are important gaps. This is
particularly the case in vertebrate paleontology, where there is need
of skeletal remains of some of the larger reptilian forms. The study
series in all divisions are in good order and accessible, and the cata-
logues are well up to date.

Researches—The Head Curator has continued his studies on
meteorites and has completed, for the time being, researches on
chondritic structure and metamorphism.

For the first time in the history of the department there has been
made—at least begun—a systematic attempt at determining the
mineralogical nature of the ore collections. Heretofore, owing to
lack of assistance, it has been possible to classify these collections
only according to the principal metal they carried, regardless of its
form of combination. Mr. Shannon has attacked the problem with
energy, skill, and intelligence, and in connection with his work has
not merely discovered minerals new to the localities, but in several
instances new to science. Andorite, not previously known from
America, has been found to constitute silver ore from Nevada, and
lead ores from Colorado have been found to consist of phosgenite
and strontium-bearing cerussite. Mr. Shannon has also made a de-
tailed study of the black sands of Idaho, disclosing many new and
unusual facts regarding them. Crystallographic investigations on.
datolite, vivianite, and boulangerite have been published or are in
process of publication. Chemical examinations of four new mineral
species, owyheeite, nyeite, higginsite, and orientite, have been com-
pleted, and ludwigite from several localities has been investigated.
The mineral collbranite has been proven identical with ludwigite.

The division of mineralogy has likewise prospered under the con-
ditions existing during the past two years. Assistant Curator
Foshag has thoroughly overhauled and rearranged the mineral col-
lection, and corrected and brought up to date the card catalogue
of the same. He has also, incidentally, analyzed and described sev-
eral minerals, some of which were new to science. Among these
mention may be made of plazolite, a new mineral, creedite, and a
number of the borate minerals. He has under investigation the
minerals microlite, eakleite, a new mineral from California, and
some rare lazurite-bearing rocks, also from California.

With the departure of Mr. Foshag, work on the petrographic
series must come to a stop. This is greatly to be regretted since
there are thousands of specimens which need assorting, a portion
to be reserved, a portion held for duplicates, and still another por-
tion to be rejected. This is a work which can be done only by one
with some petrographic training. The work is falling more and
more behind yearly and unless we are more fortunate in holding our

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 93

assistants in the future than in the past, the outlook is indeed dis-
couraging. Many of these collections are large and of great scien-
tific interest, as, for instance, those of the igneous rocks of the
Yellowstone Park described by the late Dr. J. P. Iddings, as well
as those of the Pacific and South Sea Islands. ‘These need to be
numbered and marked individually in a manner to insure them
against being lost or mislaid through careless handling. Now they
simply lie in pasteboard trays with labels mainly in pencil, and
nothing to serve as a connecting medium between the two. The
everturning of a tray, thus separating specimen from label, would
therefore result in complete ruin.

Paleontological researches included those by Secretary Walcott
on the appendages of the trilobite and related Crustacea, upon which
subject he has practically completed a memoir.

Curator R. S. Bassler, in association with Ferdinand Canu, com-
pleted the concluding volume of their studies on the American
Cenozoic Bryozoa, as well as certain researches entitled “ Studies on
fossil and recent Cyclostomatous Bryozoa.”

Dr. E. O. Ulrich’s monographic studies on the early Paleozoic
faunas have progressed to a point where they are nearing com-
pletion. With Doctor Bassler he has undertaken a monograph em-
bracing some 400 species of Silurian Bryozoa and Ostracoda of
Maryland, which will be published by the geological survey of that
State, and in association with Dr. C. E. Resser, has continued work
on the Upper Cambrian faunas of the Mississippi Valley, having
practically completed the description and illustration of several large
families of Early Paleozoic trilobites.

Dr. Frank Springer has begun studies preparatory to a monograph
on the Silurian Crinoidea of North America, forms in which his
collection is especially rich.

Dr. T. W. Stanton has continued work on the invertebrate faunas
of the Comanche series of the Cretaceous, and Dr. F. H. Knowlton
has completed a manuscript on the fossil plants of the Miocene Lake
Bed formation of South Central Colorado, and is now engaged on a
revision of the flora of the Green River formation. Dr. Mary J.
Rathbun identified a small collection of fossils from Trinidad, ob-
tained by J. A. Bullbrook and F. W. Penny.

Mr. C. W. Gilmore completed a short paper on the fauna of the
Arundel formation of Maryland, and a semipopular account of the
horned dinosaurs for the Smithsonian annual report, both of which
are now in press. The manuscript and illustrations for an article
descriptive of the extinct lizard Saniwa ensidens Leidy are nearing
completion, and a report on the Cretaceous fossil Reptilia of the
State of North Carolina was prepared for the geological survey of
that State.

94 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921,

Mr. J. W. Gidley’s long absence in the field prevented the com-
pletion of his researches on the Fort Union Primates. However, his
studies are nearing an end, and he hopes to present the results for
publication in a short time. Some progress has also been made on
the study of the Cumberland Cave carnivores.

Within the year, 347 lots of material have been sent in from vari-
ous sources for determination. No inconsiderable amount of time is
spent in this work. In the majority of cases, a laboratory test is
necessary to determine the nature of the material, and when fossils
are submitted, one lot often consists of a number of forms which
frequently require careful study. Incidentally, the clerical work
necessary to keep track of these, and in writing the reports, is a con-
siderable item in the day’s work. In addition to this, and aside from
inquiries which come direct to members of the staff, 484 letters from
persons seeking information on various subjects have passed through
the office within the year.

Various students outside the staff have engaged in researches on
the collections, particularly the paleontological. Dr. August F.
Foerste, of Dayton, Ohio, spent the summer of 1920 in a study of
Silurian cephalopods and Ordovician trilobites; Dr. Arthur Hollick
has been engaged for a part of the year studying the Alaskan floras,
under the auspices of the United States Geological Survey. Miss
Winifred Goldring, of the New York State Museum; Prof. E. W.
Berry, of Johns Hopkins University; Dr. Ralph Chaney, of the
University of California; and Dr. G. R. Wieland, of Yale University,
have likewise been students of the plant collections. Mr. A. 8.
Romer, of Columbia University, New York, studied our Permian
reptilian and amphibian materials in connection with his thesis on
comparative myology; Mr. Childs Frick, of New York, spent some
time in looking over our Equus specimens in connection with his
studies of the Pacific coast Pliocene and Pleistocene faunas; and Mr.
Remington Kellogg, of the Biological Survey, studied certain of our
cetacean materials as an aid to his investigations of the Pacific coast
Cetacea. It might be said that aside from the advantage to the
student, the help of these various specialists is of very great benefit
to the collections.

Messrs. Palache, of Harvard University, and Hewett and Larsen,
of the Geological Survey, have collaborated on sundry; occasions
with Messrs. Shannon and Foshag, as will appear in their publica-
tions. Cooperation with the Maryland Geological Survey is shown
in the forthcoming Silurian volume of that organization, a work
which has resulted in the acquisition of many type specimens
by the National Museum. Mr. Bruce Wade, of the Geological Sur-
vey of Tennessee, has studied and described the Museum’s large col-
lection of Cretaceous fossils from that State; Dr. O. P. Hay has

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 95

continued his descriptive work on American Pleistocene faunas; and
many other specialists, among whom may be mentioned Ferdinand
Canu, Versailles, France; Dr. M. A. Howe, New York Botanical
Gardens; Dr. J. A. Cushman, Boston Society of Natural History;
Prof. T. D. A. Cockrell, Boulder, Colo.; and Dr. R. T. Jackson,
Peterboro, N. H., have collaborated by their studies.

Mr. A. Rodolfo Martinez, of the Geological Institute of Mexico,
has been working in the laboratory studying methods of mineralog-

ical and petrological research.

Distributions —Exchanges predominated in the distributions made
during the year. These were comprised in 41 shipments with an
ageregate of 10,250 specimens and 374 pounds of material in bulk.
Eleven specially prepared lots, comprising 447 specimens, were sent
out as gifts, and 612 individual specimens, with the addition of 150
pounds of magnetite, were transmitted in 20 shipments to special
students and institutions for investigation or experimental work.

In addition, 23 sets of ores and minerals, 3 sets illustrating rock
weathering and soil formation, and 3 sets of invertebrate fossils, ag-
gregating 2,156 specimens, were distributed to schools.

Total number of specimens in the department.—It is impossible
to give with even approximate accuracy the number of specimens in
a collection of this nature. It is estimated, however, that the collec-
tions of the several divisions yield a total of not less than 1,500,000
specimens. No statement as to the number of duplicates included
can possibly be made.

REPORT ON THE DIVISIONS OF TEXTILES AND MEDICINE AND THE
SECTIONS OF WOOD TECHNOLOGY AND FOODS.

By F. L. LEwton, Curator of Textiles.

The accessions received during the year number 75 (including one
joint accession with another department), being just the same as the
preceding year.

The entries covered by the above accessions number 943, 772 less
than were received in the fiscal year 1920. These entries may be
divided into five groups as follows: Textiles 61, medicine 509, wood
technology 152, foods 159, and miscellaneous organic products 62,
each group, with the exception of foods, showing fewer entries than
last year.

While the number and quality of these accessions have undoubtedly
been influenced by the economic conditions prevalent throughout the
country, taken as a whole, they compare very favorably in historic
and scientific value with those of other years.

ACCESSIONS DESERVING SPECIAL NOTICE,

With the generous cooperation of American firms producing the
highest qualities of textiles, the National Museum is building up a
collection for exhibition and record to show the achievements of
American textile industries.

In this connection, the most important and valuable accession of
textile specimens received during the year was a series of 18 speci-
mens of fur fabrics, velvets, and plushes, woven at Shelton, Conn.,
and contributed by Sidney Blumenthal & Co. (Inc.), of New York,
N. Y., to whom the Museum has several times been indebted for
beautiful examples of this class of textiles. The specimens received
include “ Kerami,” “ Chinak,” “ Perwitzky,” “ Baby Persian Lamb,”
and “ Kitmole,” pile fabrics representing the skins of real animals; |
“ Continental,” “ Shelbourne,” “ Taranto,” “ Fenwick Textone,” and
“ Chadwick,” upholstery velvets in two-pile and printed effects; and
seven specimens of novelty pile fabrics for coats, dresses, and trim-
mings, sold under the names of “ Glamorsheen,” “ Panoply,” “ Pan
Ondulay,” “ Ronge Plush,” “Alfresco Plush,” and “Audubon.” The
last-named fabric has been finished to resemble the plumage of birds
and is adapted for millinery and dress trimmings and for bags and
fancy work,

98 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921,

The silk collection was increased by seven specimens of novelty
silk fabrics woven at Hazelton, Pa., the gift of the Duplan Silk
Corporation, New York City. These comprise beautiful piece and
cross-dyed combinations of silk and artificial silk, woven with
hard-twisted crépe yarns and slack-twisted novelty yarns in plain,
satin, and twill weaves.

Tn accordance with the plan of preserving as an historical record
all types of equipment and apparatus used in the War with Ger-
many, the Museum obtained by transfer from the Director of Air
Service, specimens of the airplane fabrics used in the construction
and equipment of airplanes for military use. These included two
grades of imported Irish linen manufactured in accordance with
British Air Board specifications, and the best grades of cotton
airplane cloth and balloon cloth. These wonderful fabrics were
made in America from sea-island cotton of not less than one
and one-half inch staple. The airplane cotton weighs about 4
ounces to the square yard, is mercerized, and looks like fine silk
poplin. The Director of the Air Service, through the Material
Disposal and Salvage Division, sold a surplus of these fabrics,
amounting to many hundred thousand yards, to the public and to
manufacturers. In order to demonstrate to the dry-goods trade
how the cotton airplane and balloon fabrics could be used, some of
it was “converted” into dress and drapery fabrics by bleaching, ©
dyeing, or printing. The converted airplane fabrics were also sold
to the public, and samples of these were included in the specimens
transferred to the Museum.

The Museum is indebted to Mr. T. J. Keleher, of Washington,
D. C., for a Riker mount of a series of entomological specimens
exhibiting the life cycle of the silkworm moth.

The collection of hand-woven and hand-worked textiles was aug-
mented by a number of interesting specimens acquired by gift, loan,
or purchase. To Miss Em-Sidell Schroeder, of Washington, the
Museum is indebted for the gift of a fine specimen of tied and dyed
work in the shape of a “Shikar Chundri,” made in Rajputana,
India. This has only a part of the strings removed, and shows the
method of tying the cotton fabric to enable portions of it to resist
_the dye and so develop the intended pattern. Miss Schroeder also
contributed two specimens of hand weaving done at the Washington
Handicraft School, and a bark cloth pillow cover. An old blue and
white double-woven coverlet was received by exchange from Mrs.
M. W. Gill of Washington, D. C. Two patchwork quilts, repre-
senting a form of needlework which was once a popular household
art, but is now fast passing away, were received during the year.
One, of silk, loaned to the collections by Mrs. A. F. Graham, of
Washington, D. C., presents good examples of patchwork, quilting,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 99

and hand embroidery; the other, a cotton quilt, interesting because
of its old, English landscape chintz lining, was obtained from
Miss Edith C. Long, also of Washington, D. C.

Our collection of Cashmere shawls has been augmented by the loan
of an interesting specimen from Mrs. Louise E. Hogan, Neponsit,
Long Island, N. Y., which represents a quality unlike those heretofore
received, and for this reason is a valuable acquisition, as this class
of art textiles presents a large field for study, because of the wide
variety of design, color, and quality of yarn used in the manufacture
of these shawls.

Examples of the interesting textile fabrics woven by the Moros of
the Lake Lanao region of the Island of Mindanao, in the southern
part of the Philippine Archipelago, were loaned to the Museum by
Lieut. Col. F. W. Brown, Washington, D. C. The 26 specimens of
Moro weaving include bright-colored plaid squares of cotton for
headdresses ; long, striped cotton scarfs or sashes; and all cotton, and
cotton and silk sarongs in gay stripes of blue, red, green, yellow,
and magenta. Several of these fabrics showed wide stripes woven
with warp threads which had been tied and dyed, giving beautiftl
mottled or clouded effects.

Examples of the household crafts of earlier days, consisting of a
spinning wheel of the type used to spin wool and cotton yarns; a home-
made, four-arm clock reel for reeling the spun yarn into the skeins
or cuts of uniform length required for warping the old hand looms;
three homemade baskets woven from aspen and willow sprouts grown
in Virginia; two candle molds; and a bundle of dressed raw flax which
was grown in Fairfax, Va., soon after the Civil War, were contributed
by Mrs. Charles R. Weed, of Seat Pleasant, Md.

The National Museum is indebted to Mrs. M. W. Gill, of Wash-
ington, for the deposit of a Florence lock-stitch sewing machine,
which will be added to the series of sewing machines illustrating the
development of this most useful invention, the first of which to sew
a seam by machinery is the Howe machine of 1845.

In the division of medicine, the most important accession of the
year was the deposit of an automatic tablet machine by the Arthur
Colton Co., of Detroit, Mich. Compressed tablets are now used to an
enormous extent in medicine, being made with machinery of in-
genious construction. The fact that this class of tablets requires no
medium or vehicle to aid in their administration, and the ease with
which they can be tested, as well as their permanent character (in
most cases being just as valuable years after they are made as when
fresh) has made them a very popular form of medication. This ma-
chine is equipped with an electric motor, and will produce from one
to three hundred tablets a minute. It will be used to demonstrate
how medicated tablets are made.

100 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

Next in importance is the accession covering the contribution of
the H. K. Mulford Co., of Philadelphia, Pa., illustrating vaccine and
serum therapy. Few of the present generation are aware of the fact
that smallpox, the most terrible of all the ministers of death, killed
at least 60,000,000 people in the 18th century, and that in preceding
centuries, about 10 per cent of all deaths were attributable to this dis-
ease. Millions of the survivors weakened, crippled, sightless, all bore
hideous traces of the power of this scourge. It was left for a humble
village doctor, Edward Jenner, in 1789 to conquer this disease by a
bit of virus on the point of an ivory lancet. It was he who dem-
onstrated to the world that this disease in the cow is mild, while in
man it is virulent, and introduced cowpox virus into the system of
human subjects to render them immune from the malignant type.
With compulsory vaccination, Jenner’s discovery has become so effec-
tive that many active physicians have never seen a case of smallpox.
The average person knows comparatively little about this wonderful
discovery and the manner in which one of the greatest scourges to
mankind was conquered. An exhibit has been arranged in a manner
which tells something of the history of the discovery; the terrible
effects of the disease; the trifling inconvenience of vaccination; and
the modern sanitary methods of procuring the virus, etc.

Another valuable medical discovery was that of the antitoxic
property of the blood serum of animals immunized by the inocula-
tion of bacterial toxins. The principle of this discovery, which was
made in 1890 by Behring and Kitasato, is that the blood serum of a
subject which has recovered from an attack of a communicable dis-
ease caused by bacteria when transferred to another subject will
render the latter immune. Since this discovery, antitoxins for the
prophylactic and curative treatment of diphtheria and lockjaw have
been included in the United States Pharmacopoeia. All serums are
obtained in practically the same manner, and so an educational ex-
hibit was arranged to give the public a better understanding of the
theory and principles of serum therapy. The subject of diphtheria
was chosen to illustrate in detail, and there follows exhibits relating
to lockjaw, pneumonia, and cerebrospinal meningitis. By means of
charts, photographs, and specimens Museum visitors are shown how
the bacteria which cause these diseases are grown in Loefller’s blood
serum; the manner of injecting these organisms into horses; how the
immunized horses are bled; steps in obtaining the blood serum; tests
for purity with filled syringes ready for administration; and mor-
tality tables showing the decrease in fatalities from these diseases
since this discovery.

That hay fever is the result of pollen irritation is now an accepted
fact, and the protein sensitization theory has received a great deal

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 101

of consideration. According to this theory, the hay-fever victim
has the faculty of decomposing pollen into its poisonous and non-
poisonous constituents, and the poisonous part causes the troublesome
irritation to the mucous membranes of the eyes and nose. Extracts
made from pollen are employed for the purpose of immunization and
creating a tolerance to pollen proteins. The public has manifested
great interest in the exhibit illustrating the curative and preventive
methods of treating this disease. Charts show some of the plants
which cause the disease; enlarged illustrations of the pollen; how the
medicine is administered; the effects of diagnostic tests on patients
to ascertain whether their trouble is caused by plants maturing in the
spring or autumn; and filled syringes of the pollen extracts contain-
ing the protein nitrogen from the pollen of rye, timothy, orchard
grass, sweet vernal grass, and redtop grass dissolved in physiological
saline solution for treatment of spring hay fever, and extracts from
the pollen of ragweed, golden rod, and corn for fall hay fever.

The accession is made up of 15 charts, upon which 175 photo-
graphs, specimens, etc., have been mounted. Several interesting
additions will be made to this series.

The arrangement of medicines by therapeutic effect is the most
useful to physicians, but standard works (Pharmacopoeias and Dis-
pensatories) contain an alphabetical arrangement of the articles of
materia medica, because a physiological classification is a delusive
guide, due to the fact that some medicines could be properly placed
in several different classes on account of the variation of their action
depending on the dose, combination, mode of administration, etc.
The study collections of the division, which until recently were the
exhibition series, are arranged botanically, and the therapeutic action
is usually described on the label by group names, such as emetic,
expectorant, sialagogue, etc. These descriptive therapeutic terms
appear on many of the specimens of the exhibition series without
conveying anything to a person not versed in medicine. So, with a
view to making the.meaning of these terms clear and to point out
some of the most used representatives of some of the well-known
classes, an exhibit has been arranged comprising 26 groups. Three
official medicines have been selected to represent each class depending
upon the predominant virtue which they manifest and on account of
which they are most frequently prescribed. The therapeutic groups
shown with appropriate descriptions and examples are, alteratives,
antispasmodics, laxatives, carminatives, diaphoretics, emetics, vesi-
cants, caustics, demulcents, narcotics, cardiac stimulants, cardiac de-
pressants, diuretics, anodynes, digestants, antiseptics, vermicides,
astringents, sialagogues, febrifuges, styptics, expectorants, antacids,
anaesthetics, local anaesthetics, and disinfectants. The Museum is

102 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

indebted to the following companies which have donated the material
for this exhibit: Powers-Weightman-Rosengarten Co., Philadelphia,
Pa., 20 specimens of medicinal chemicals; E. R. Squibb & Sons, New
York City, 15 pharmaceutical preparations; McKesson & Robbins
(Inc.), New York City, 11 medicinal substances; Eli Lilly & Co.,
Indianapolis, Ind., 10 pharmaceuticals; Dodge & Olcott Co., New
York City, 6 medicinal oils; Schieffelin & Co., New York, N. Y.,
6 pharmaceutical products; Parke, Davis Co., Detroit, Mich., 5
medicinal substances; Armour & Co., Chicago, IIL, 2 animal products.

The disguising of disagreeable medicines is a problem which has
long taxed the ingenuity of doctors and pharmacists. With adults
the task is comparatively easy, and is accomplished by sneaking the
medicinal substance past the palate, coated with gelatin, sugar, choco-
late, etc. But in the case of children it is difficult. By instinct they
object to disagreeable medicines, and due to the natural inclination
to disintegrate food, usually hold a pill, eapsule, or tablet in the
mouth until the purpose of the coating is defeated. Dr, Bernard
Fantus, professor of pharmacology and therapeutics, College of
Medicine, University of Illinois, has devoted a great deal of attention
to the matter of candy medication for children, his object being to so
incorporate medicinal substances in fats and sugars that they may
be dissolved in the mouth as candy without disagreeable taste or odor
being detected. Doctor Fantus visited the Museum during the week
of the meeting of the Pharmacopoeial Convention, at which time
he consented to furnish material to illustrate this form of medication.
The specimens donated by him for this purpose consist of 6 colored
“fat sugars” used as the base in which to incorporate the medicines,
and 43 specimens attractive to children and free from disagreeable
odor and taste.

Many interesting and valuable articles showing the progress and
development of medicine and pharmacy were received during the
year. The Whitall Tatum Co., Philadelphia, Pa., donated 14 speci-
mens consisting of liquid measures, a suppository mold and ma-
chine, a tablet mold and machine, an emulsifier, prescription sieve,
and pill tile. Mr. W. deC. Ravenel, United States National Museum,
contributed an old balance of the type used in drug stores 40 or 50
years ago. The National College of Pharmacy, Washington, D. C.,
through the dean, Dr. H. E, Kalusowski, presented the Museum with
a suppository mold made by James Dominic O’Donnell, of Wash-
ington, D. C., previous to 1873, which is believed to be the first one
ever used for making suppositories by compression. One of the
first instruments ever used for throwing a finely divided spray for
medical purposes, consisting of a rubber bulb 4 inches long, and a
metal bottle 2 inches long with connecting metal parts, was made by
Asahel M. Shurtleff, of Codman & Shurtleff, makers of surgical in-

ee

REPORT OF NaTIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 103

struments, Boston, Mass., about August 27, 1871. This old atomizer
was contributed to the Museum by Mr. Arthur A. Shurtleff, of
Boston.

The following material of an historical nature was received by
gift: From the board of trustees of the United States Pharmacopoeial
Convention (Inc.), through Dr. E. Fullerton Cook, chairman of the
revision committee, Philadelphia, Pa., manuscripts, proofs, and docu-
ments relating to the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Revisions of the
United States Pharmacopoeia; from the United States Pharmaco-
poeial Convention (Inc.), through Dr. Murray Galt Motter, Wash-
ington, D. C., one typewritten copy of the Proceedings of the Sev-
enth, Eighth, and Tenth Decennial Conventions; from Dr. Murray
Galt Motter, Washington, D. C., four photographs of prominent
members of the American Pharmaceutical Association; and from
Mrs. Frances Long Taylor, of Athens, Ga., through Miss Katherine
Wootten, Washington, D. C., a number of papers and documents
relating to the life and career of Dr. Crawford W. Long, the first
to intentionally produce anesthesia by inhalation of sulphuric ether
for a surgical operation. Mrs. Taylor also loaned Doctor Long’s
medical diplomas and a case of surgical instruments used by him.

In planning the development of the collections of the division, an
interesting feature was added, namely, group representations of the
more important drugs showing the several stages in their production
from their natural sources. Opium and cinchona were selected to
be represented in detail, and the work of obtaining the necessary
specimens and photographs was completed during the year. The
first item of the following material received for these exhibits was
procured by transfer, and the remainder by gift: Fourteen opium
products from the Bureau of Internal Revenue, Treasury Depart-
ment; photographs of poppy cultivation and opium manufacture
were received from the following: Mr. J. H. Hill, managing director
of the Ghazipur Opium Factory, Ghazipur, India, through Mr.
Harold R. Foss, American consul in charge, Calcutta, India; Mr.
Ernest B. Price, vice consul in charge, Canton, China; Dr. Lewis R.
Thompson, Shenchowfu, China, through the American consulate,
Changsha, China; Rev. W. Hartman, Shenchowfu, China, through
the American consulate, Changsha, China. For the cinchona case
there were received 10 specimens of Cinchona succirubra bark from
Dr. M. Kerbosch, director of the Government Cinchona Plantations,
Tjinjiroean, Java, Dutch East Indies, through Mr. S. W. Zeverijn,
Amsterdam, Holland.

New exhibits of animal products were arranged during the course
of the year, and the following material was obtained for this pur-
pose: Eli Lilly & Co., Indianapolis, In@., donated 6 sheets of colored
gelatin, 13 specimens of elastic capsules, and 4 specimens of globules;

104 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

9 medicinal substances from the animal kingdom were presented by
McKesson & Robbins (Inc.), of New York City; and the H. K. Mul-
ford Co., Philadelphia, Pa., contributed 4 specimens of antitoxin
serum and 1 specimen of vaccine virus.

The “ Medicinal Forms” exhibit was enhanced by the addition of
22 photographs contributed by Parke, Davis & Co. These pictures
were made especially for the Museum, and illustrate the workings of
a modern pharmaceutical manufacturing plant. They show the crude
drugs as received from the market; vacuum driers; percolators for
extracting soluble medicinal constituents; how pills, tablets, capsules,
and suppositories are manufactured, counted, and bottled by machin-
ery; how pastes and ointments are placed in collapsible tubes, ete.

A needlework illustration of enlarged microscopic views of animal
cells, tissues, and blood crystals was presented to the division by Dr.
J. S. Foote, professor of pathology, College of Medicine, Creighton
University, Omaha, Nebr. On this piece of hemstitched linen the
tissues, cells, and crystals are embroidered in colored silks represent-
ing the hematoxylin and eosin stains. The nuclei are in blue, the
cytoplasm in pink, and the crystals in brown. These cells are ar-
ranged around a large Purkinje cell of the cerebellum. The linen has
a 14-inch frame, and is a very unique and interesting piece of work.

A plaster bust and a marble medallion of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still,
the founder of osteopathy, was contributed by Dr. George A. Still,
surgeon in chief of the American School of Osteopathy Hospital,
Kirksville, Mo., and are valuable additions to the exhibit which illus-
trates the history and principles of osteopathy.

The American Osteopathic Association of Orange, N. J., appointed
a committee to cooperate with the Museum in obtaining material to
complete the exhibit relating to this subject, and there has been re-
ceived for this purpose by gift, through Dr. Norman C. Glover, the
Washington representative of this committee, a small collection of
books dealing with osteopathy, photographs, and an unmounted
human spine.

Old homeopathic medicine cases were contributed by Dr. Mary
E. Hanks, Chicago, Il, and Dr. Lynn A. Martin, of Binghamton,
N. Y., through Dr. W. A. Dewey, of Ann Arbor, Mich. The case
presented by Doctor Hanks is made in the form of a book, and is
very interesting. The case donated by Doctor Martin contains two-
hundredth potencies and was used for many years by Dr. Titus L.
Brown, a well-known homeopathic physician and instructor.

The collections in the section of wood technology, were increased
by a number of accessions of importance. To the office of works
of the British Government, through Sir Lionel Earle and the Ameri-
can ambassador to Great Britain, the Museum is indebted for the
gift of a most interesting piece of oak timber. This is a large sec-

tion taken from the hammer-beam roof of Westminster Hall, Lon-
don, England, during recent repairs to this famous building. The
roof was built under the orders of Richard IT, in 1399, and the oak
used therein must be anywhere from 900 to 1,000 years old, or more.
The roof beams and timbers of this historic structure were found
to be so weakened by the attacks of larvae of a boring beetle, Yesto-
bium tessellatum, known as the “ death watch,” that portions of the
timbers were removed and the roof supported by an invisible steel
reenforcement. The section of timber presented to the Museum is
valuable from an historical and entomological standpoint, and in
addition shows the beauty of the wood itself, the old craftsman’s
work, and the durability of British oak when used in heavy con-
struction. The Museum also received for exhibition with the speci-
men photographs and drawings of Westminster Hall and its roof
structure, which indicate the spot from which the specimen was
taken, together with a copy of a report by Sir Frank Baines, upon
the history and repairs to the roof of Westminster Hall and the
methods undertaken to combat the ravages of the beetle.

Specimens and photographs of balsa wood, a material weighing
but little more than half as much as cork, were presented by the
American Balsa Co. (Inc.), of New York City. These include a
cross section of the trunk of a young balsa tree, Ochroma lagopus,
a squared piece of balsa timber, and an ice-cream container made of
this recently developed wood to demonstrate its value as a non-
conductor of heat. The utilization of the wood of this quick-grow-
ing tropical American tree has been brought into prominence during
the last few years. The manufacture of buoyancy and insulation
products, such as life rafts, refrigerators, and parts of lifeboats and
airplanes, especially in connection with the war with Germany, has
become very extensive. Eighty thousand floats made of balsa wood
were used in constructing the 250-mile submarine mine barrage in
the North Sea.

The Muskegon Machine Co., Muskegon, Mich., contributed a series
of 23 specimens representing the work of an industry that goes hand
in hand with present-day conservation methods. These, the products
of the Linderman dovetail glue jointer, are small samples of what
is being done in the way of building up automobile running boards,
doors, etc., chair seats, moldings, columns, frames, and countless other
things from small pieces of wood, much of which has been hitherto
classed as waste and has been conveyed under the boilers to be used
as fuel.

A series of specimens showing steps in the manufacture of willow
baskets was contributed by Mr. Andrew Kessler, of Washington,
D. C. Mr. Kessler personally made the baskets and parts by hand

106 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

from selected stock grown by him. This exhibit represents an in-
dustry that is gaining in importance in the United States, and is
deserving of more recognition.

The importance of the closer utilization of wood as a conserva-
tion measure, and the practicability of laminated wood construction
in the manufacture of a number of articles subject to severe usage,
is shown by a series of 23 specimens of built-up airplane wing
ribs, tenpins, duckpins, and shoe lasts, which were received by trans-
fer from the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis.

A moth-proof cedar chest was presented by the Piedmont Red
Cedar Chest Co., of Statesville, N. C. This chest, designed and
built especially for exhibition in the National Museum, is devoid of
all brass trimmings, save the keyhole plate, and is finished with a
high wax polish, so that nothing has been added to detract from
the simple beauty of the wood itself.

As accessions of importance other than those mentioned under
textiles, medicine, and wood technology, there should be mentioned
the transfer from the States Relations Service of the Department
of Agriculture, of an exhibit of over 100 examples of canned fruits,
vegetables, fish, and meats, which has attracted the attention of large
numbers of visitors. This appetizing array of canned foods was
put up by children according to the coldpack method, and repre-
sents a selection from the jars winning prizes in 17 State contests
between members of boys and girls canning clubs. The 10 best
jars entered in each State contest were selected by the State club
leader, and sent to Washington for exhibition in the National
Museum, as an additional honor to the youthful prize winners. These
examples of an important work in food conservation, now being
carried on by children all over the United States, represent a great
advance in canning methods, and show that home-put-up foodstuffs
which can be shipped about from local to State fairs, and across
the country to Washington, for exhibition under severe conditions
of light and heat, well deserve the attention they have received in the
section of foods.

Fifteen large charts, showing graphically the composition and
fuel value of important articles of food, were added to the section of
foods, by transfer from the Department of Agriculture. They serve
to further explain the models of 100 calorie portions, and the exhibits
showing the principal classes of foods, which were mentioned in a
previous report. :

The importance of dehydration as a means of conserving a local
surplus of fresh foods, and of avoiding many transportation difficul-
ties, is brought to mind by a series of 22 specimens of dehydrated
California fruits and vegetables, contributed by the Caladero Prod-
ucts Co., Atascadero, Calif.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 107

A very complete series of specimens illustrating steps in the manu-
facture and use of the “chank” shell of India, was contributed by
Dr. Hugh M. Smith, United States Commissioner of Fisheries. This
shell held in veneration by the Hindus, is collected by divers in the
Gulf of Manar, off the coast of Travancore and elsewhere in India,
and has been used from time immemorial for bracelets, armlets,
charms, etc. ;

The Museum’s extensive collection of authentic commercial raw
materials used in American industries was increased by the efforts of
Mr. A. E. Carlton, American consul at Medan, Sumatra, who sent
through the State Department, eight samples of Hevea rubber, rep-
resenting all the grades produced and sold in that market, including
the grades most in demand for making automobile tires.

Mr. Dan P. Steeples, of Sumner, Wash., presented to the Museum,
a large sheet of so-called “ fungus paper,” a wonderfully preserved
piece of the leathery velvet-like mycelium or absorbing organ of a
parasitic fungus, /omes laricis, which is rather common upon Douglas
fir, larch, pines, and other species of trees in the Northwestern States.
Several hundred years ago, a similar material, called surgeons’
fungus, was used as a styptic for stopping bleeding and for binding
wounds, like a plaster.

EXPLORATIONS AND EXPEDITIONS.

No expeditions or trips of any great importance were made by any
member of this division during the year. The International Silk
Show, held at the Grand Central Palace, New York City, February
7 to 12, 1921, was attended by the curator in response to the invita-
tion from the management that the National Museum be represented
officially by exhibits and a member of the staff. Advantage was
taken of this opportunity for enlisting the cooperation of the most
important manufacturers of silk fabrics in the extension of the
Museum’s exhibits, resulting in the accession of two valuable groups
of fabrics and the promise of many others.

Through the courtesy of the Hammermill Paper Co., of Erie, Pa.,
the assistant curator, section of wood technology, was enabled to visit
the plant at Erie from May 11 to 15, 1921, and study under the most
favorable conditions the manufacture of high-grade sulphite paper.
As a result of this trip, two, separate but closely related series of
specimens are being prepared for the Museum; one qualitative, show-
ing every step in the manufacture of paper from spruce wood; the
other quantitative, showing the exact amounts of every material re-
quired to make 100 pounds of bond paper.

WORK OF PRESERVING AND INSTALLING COLLECTIONS.

All of the collections under the care of the curator have been care-
fully inspected for insects, and all perishable material like wools and

108 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

foodstuffs have been fumigated several times. This has meant, how-
ever, constant vigilance, as we have to fight not only the usual Mu-
seum pests like the drug-store beetle, Dermestes, and wool and grain
moths, but recently the cigarette beetle has become a menace and was
found attacking the tobacco specimens. The old exhibit and dupli-
cate collections dating back prior to 1895 have been carefully gone
over, checked in the catalogues, and the specimens past usefulness
were laid aside for exchange with other institutions and schools or
for condemnation. The catalogueing of new specimens has been kept
up to date, and the installation of new material has been made as
soon after its receipt as was possible. A large part of the time of
one preparator was given to making gummed-letter case labels for
the textile exhibits, a large number of group labels for the medicinal
collections, and labeling the transparencies in the section of wood
technology, so that the legends may be read by transmitted light.

The examination and indexing of new textile terms and other
special information contained in the large number of trade papers
and periodicals received by the sectional libraries of textiles, woods,
medicine, and foods has occupied the time of the preparators when
not engaged in other duties. A set of upward of 2,000 small samples
of North American woods, which are pieces of the actual wood
specimens experimented upon by Dr. Charles S. Sargent and his
assistants in connection with his report on the forest wealth of the
United States for the Tenth Census, which had long been in storage,
was gone over carefully by the assistant curator, section of wood
technology, and matched up with the data published by Dr. Sargent
in volume 9 of the Tenth Census Report. This very valuable scien-
tific collection of authentic specimens is thus rendered available for
the study and identification of new material.

In the division of textiles eight new permanent installations and a
special temporary exhibit were set up during the year. The special
exhibit of live silkworms was installed in the South Hall during
June 13-20, 1921. During this period about 300 silkworms of both
the Italian and Japanese races reached their maturity and spun
cocoons. Before the exhibit closed on June 30 moths had emerged
from most of the cocoons, so that during practically the whole 18
days the feeding and spinning of the silkworms and the activities
of the adult moths could be seen. The public was informed of the
exhibit through notices in the local newspapers, which were copied
by papers in Baltimore and Philadelphia, and its interest in the
subject was evidenced by an increased attendance of visitors to the
Arts and Industries Building of over 1,500 the first week. ‘The
installations included exhibits of cartridge silks, airplane, and bal-
loon fabrics, plushes and velvets, tied and dyed textiles, a rearrange-
ment of the series of early American implements for spinning, reel-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 109

ing, and winding, and the installation of the historical series of sew-
ing machines and textile machinery models which were transferred
from the division of mechanical technology. The series illustrating
the composition of the human body was brought down from the east
gallery, where it had been shown for many years in the division of
medicine, and reinstalled with the food exhibits. The latter were
regrouped and their appearance very much improved. The new
material, showing canning and preservation of foods by boys and
girls, was arranged by States and installed in the large wall case
in the east south range, where it has attracted a great deal of at-
tention.

Practically one-half of the cases of the exhibition series in the
division of medicine contain new exhibits which were installed dur-
ing the year. In all, 15 new exhibits were installed, and two cases
completely rearranged with the addition of new material. The new
exhibits have been arranged to show medicines obtained from the
animal kingdom ; the use of sphagnum moss as a substitute for absorb-
ent cotton; candy medication for children; steps in the manufacture
of glass ampoules; the various forms into which medicines are pre-
pared for administration ; the manner of obtaining and administering
serums for the prevention and treatment of diphtheria, lockjaw,
pneumonia, and meningitis; the importance of the cinchona tree and
the poppy plant from a medicinal standpoint; how medicines are
divided into classes based on their physiological action; the impor-
tance of gelatin to disguise the taste and odor of unpalatable medi-
cines; the progress of the development of pharmaceutical equipment ;
how specimens are examined by means of the microscope, etc. An
exhibit case devoted to Dr. Crawford W. Long, of Athens, Ga., the
first surgeon to intentionally produce anesthesia by inhalation of
sulphuric ether for a surgical operation, containing a number of his
personal relics and documentary evidence to substantiate his claim,
was prepared with material presented or loaned to the Museum by
his daughter, Mrs. Frances Long Taylor. The Morton case con-
taining the original apparatus used by Dr. William T. G. Morton
when he demonstrated the use of sulphuric ether as an anesthetic,
and personal relics of this famous person, and the marble bust of
Maj. Walter Reed, were obtained by transfer from the division of
history. The bust of Maj. Walter Reed was installed where it prop-
erly belongs, in the alcove which relates to the history of medicine
in America. It is here exhibited with pictures of Drs. James Car-
roll, Jesse W. Lazear, and Aristides Agramonte, other members of
the commission which proved that yellow fever is transmitted by
mosquitoes. An important addition to the historical collections is a
series of eight bromide enlargements of men famous in medicine,
which includes pictures of the following: Aesculapius, the “ God of

110 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

Medicine”; Hippocrates, “ Father of Medicine”; Galen, a noted
medical writer, sometimes called the “Father of Pharmacy”;
Avicenna, the Arab medical writer, whose teachings were followed
by myriads of medical practitioners; Paracelsus, the founder of
chemical pharmacology and therapeutics; Vesalius, who did much to
advance the study of anatomy; Paré, a famous French surgeon; and
Edward Jenner, the originator of vaccine therapy, who extirpated
the loathsome disease smallpox. These pictures have been framed
and labeled and are hung on the pilasters above the cases on the
east gallery.

A special exhibit of all the books in the sectional library on the
subject of homeopathy was arranged for the benefit of the delegates
to the annual meeting of the American Institute of Homeopathy,
which was held in this city from June 19 to 24, 1921, and many of the
delegates visited the Museum for the purpose of seeing this exhibit
and the permanent one arranged to illustrate the history and prin-
ciples of this school of medicine.

The southeast court containing the wood collections was closed to
the public from January 20 to March 3, 1921, in order to permit
the installation of the large colored transparencies and bromide en-
largements showing forest stands, lumbering methods, and wood
utilization. Each of the transparencies was labeled on the glass with
black letters, permitting the title to be easily read from the floor, even
at some distance. A specific title in white letters was put on the
frame below each of the colored bromide enlargements, and four
large general labels, one for each set of 12 pictures around the four
sides of the gallery, were mounted above the frame. Upon opening
the wood court to visitors two bulletin boards were installed, one on
either side of the entrance, on which to put items of public interest
concerning woods and their uses. Other installations include a large
section of British oak from the roof of Westminster Hall; the ex-
hibit of handmade willow baskets; an assembling of the California
redwood material, including the refinishing of a large 6-foot board;
and the exhibition of a Piedmont red-cedar chest.

PRESENT CONDITION OF THE COLLECTIONS.

With the exception of slight fading of certain textile fabrics which
are affected by the light, and the discoloration of certain food sam-
ples due to exposure to light and heat, there has been but very little
deterioration of either the exhibit or study materials. The collec-
tions in the section of wood technology are also in very good condi-
tion.

The exhibition and study series of the division of medicine are
in good condition. It was found necessary to renew the preserving
fluid on the specimens comprising the exhibit of organotherapy.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 111

RESEARCH AND STUDIES CARRIED ON AT THR MUSBUM.

For the benefit of the Museum.—As much time as could be spared
from routine work has been given by the curator and one assistant
to the preparation of comprehensive technical definitions of textile
fabrics based upon authentic specimens in the Museum’s collections.
This has meant the careful examination of all available current tex-
tile literature, as the technical mill and trade terms used in older
works of reference are often not in accord with those in current use
in the United States. Considerable progress has been made toward
the completion of a fabrics glossary based on actual specimens.

The use of the Musewm’s collections and facilities by visitors and
correspondents —Dr. Arno Viehoever and Mr. J. F. Clevenger, of
the pharmacognosy laboratory of the Bureau of Chemistry, De-
partment of Agriculture, made frequent use of the study collections
in the division of medicine for identifying and comparing commer-
cial drugs submitted to that laboratory under the food and drugs act.

Dr. H. E. Kalusowski, dean of the college of pharmacy, George
Washington University, made use of the collections in the study of
gums and resins.

Mr. Samuel D. Stevens, North Andover, Mass., made use of the
collections in a study of the development of hand spinning and
weaving in colonial times.

One of the professors of the school of medicine, George Washing-
ton University, frequently brought his class to the Museum to study
the exhibits in the section of foods.

The research director of the trade paper Women’s Wear and his
assistant spent some time studying and sketching the models of
spinning and knitting machinery in the division of textiles for use in
the investigation of the history of the knitting industry.

Numerous visitors made inquiry at the curator’s office in search of
special information suggested by the exhibits, and made particular
use of the technical books in the sectional library. The curator
furnished special information on industrial raw materials and the
identification of specimens, from time to time during the year to the
Bureaus of Chemistry and Plant Industry, United States Department
of Agriculture, and to the New York appraiser’s office, Treasury
Department. The identification of specimens of fibers and fabrics,
gums, resins, seeds, and woods, and bibliographical compilations on
various subjects for numerous individuals, both in and out of the
Government service, has been a regular part of the work of this
division. He furnished the identification of the cottons and cotton
seeds introduced by the Office of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduc-
tion and Distribution, Department of Agriculture.

71305°—21——8

112 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

Several groups of school children from private and public schools
of Washington and Alexandria, Va., were given talks on the textile
collections by the curator. He also arranged for lectures and demon-
strations at the Museum to the classes in home economics and tex-
tiles at George Washington University and the University of Mary-
land.

Names of special cooperators.—Special thanks are due to Dr.
Murray Galt Motter, librarian of the Hygienic Laboratory, Wash-
ington, D. C.; to Dr. W. A. Dewey, registrar of the homeopathic
medical school, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.; Dr.
Caswell] A. Mayo and Mr. Charles G. Merrell, of Cincinnati, Ohio;
Dr. J. Norman Taylor, chemist, Fungicide Board, Department of
Agriculture; Mr. T. J. Keleher and Dr. Norman C. Glover, of Wash-
ington, D. C., for their splendid cooperation in arranging for the
contribution of specimens to the Museum, and for making use of
every opportunity of presenting the needs of the Museum to persons
and professional bodies in a position to render assistance.

RESEARCHES ELSEWHERE AIDED BY MUSEUM MATERIAL.

Dr. H. E. Howe, of the National Research Council, was furnished
with small samples of mercerized cotton, wool, flax, silk, and artificial
silk for investigations with the microscope.

The Microchemical Laboratory of the Bureau of Chemistry, De-
partment of Agriculture, was also supplied with fiber specimens for
microscopical work.

The firm of Darby & Darby, patent attorneys of New York City,
was furnished a sample of a silk fabric of special construction for
use in a patent investigation.

Mr. M. D. C. Crawford, research editor for Women’s Wear, a
trade publication, was supplied with 11 photographs of historical
textile machinery for use in a study of the development of certain
phases of the textile industry.

At the request of the management of the International Silk Expo-
sition, held in the Grand Central Palace, New York City, February
7 to 12, 1921, the Museum loaned to the committee on historic ex-
hibits several specimens concerned with the early manufacture and
use of silk in this country.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS.

A set of small samples of American woods, representing 18 species,
were sent as an exchange to the New York State College of Forestry,
Syracuse, N. Y., at the request of Dr. H. P. Brown, professor of
wood technology, for use by his graduate students in certain research
work.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 113

A set of twelve 8 by 10 inch photographs of exhibits in the division
of medicine were furnished to Mr. Charles G. Merrell, Cincinnati,
Ohio, and were by him framed and hung in the Lloyd Library of
Cincinnati, in order to bring the work of the division to the atten-
tion of the many professional workers in botany, medicine, and
pharmacy who frequent that library.

Mr. Merrell was also furnished a photograph of the model of the
Birch oil still constructed by the Museum, from which he prepared
14 lantern slides and presented them to colleges throughout the
United States for use in lectures in the manufacture of essential
oils.

Armour & Company, Chicago, Tl., was furnished with a photo-
graph of the Museum’s exhibit of animal drugs, part of the material
for which was furnished by that company. The photograph was
reproduced in the Armour Magazine for the information of its
employees.

Several requests were made during the year by visitors and
correspondents for copies of two labels, one accompanying the series
illustrating the composition of the human body, and the other classi-
fying the specimens arranged to show the development of the heal-
ing arts. All of the requests were granted.

REPORT ON THE DIVISION OF MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY.

By Cart W. MitTMan, Curator.

Staf—In the last annual report it was stated that the goal
toward which this division was bending its efforts and for which it
possessed the nucleus was a museum of engineering. Some progress
has been made toward this end, in that on May 1, 1921, the writer
was placed in charge of the division of mineral technology and his
title changed to read “curator, divisions of mineral and mechanical
technology.” In this capacity he will administer the work of all
strictly engineering units of the department of arts and industries.
In addition to the advantages to be thus gained in the development
of these phases of the Museum’s activities, the reorganization is ma-
terially more economical in that the two divisions, which for the past
10 years have been cared for by a staff in each, will now be adminis-
tered by the writer aided by two assistant curators, one assigned to
mineral technology and one to mechanical technology.

Accessions—During the time covered by this report there was a
marked increase in the amount of material received. The total
number of accessions is 33 as against 13 for the year 1919-20, while
the number of objects is 162 against 97 for the previous year.

Of these accessions, 25 were gifts, 4 were loans, 1 a transfer, and
2 were prepared in the division laboratory. The designation of
the objects was as follows: 122 to transportation and machinery,
17 to metrology, 6 to firearms, 6 to communication, and 11 were
objects of a miscellaneous character.

In a division covering such a range of subjects as that in me-
chanical technology, it is difficult to place comparative values upon
the various accessions, for each one received is of importance in
the section to which it belongs. Thus in land transportation, the
Duryea gasoline automobile of 1892-93, presented by Mr. Inglis
M. Uppercu, New York City, is undoubtedly the accession of greatest
importance historically. On the other hand, the full-size single-
cylinder sectioned and hand-operated gasoline engine which visual-
izes the cycle of operations in the internal-combustion engine as the
visitor operates it, is by far the most important accession educa-
tionally. There is not a visitor who, upon seeing this exhibit, does
not stop before it, operate it, and study it. The exhibit was pre-

115

sented by the Willys-Overland Co., Toledo, Ohio, through Mr. John
N. Willys, president.

Through the efforts of Mr. E. H. Sithens, Millville, N. J., in pro-
curing two “ ordinary ” bicycles, one a “ Columbia ” and the other a
“ Victor,” the collection of bicycles was greatly enhanced, and now
includes 12 distinct types ranging from about the first introduction in
1863 to the “ new rapid safety,” introduced about 1887. Mr. Ransom
Matthews, Selma, Calif., added to his collection of gasoline engine
spark plugs loaned to the Museum, which now embraces a total of 150
different types of plugs.

The collection being assembled to visualize the development in
aeronautics was considerably improved by the gift of the experi-
mental hydroplane model made by Mr. Edson F. Gallaudet in 1898,
and used by him in the fall of that year in experimental aeronautical
work on Long Island. The model was presented to the Museum by
the Gallaudet Aircraft Corporation, East Greenwich, R. I.

During the year Mr. George W. Spier, of Washington, D. C.,
custodian of watches, donated eight valuable specimens of early time-
pieces, both of American and European manufacture. They are in-
corporated in the horological collections which are being arranged to
illustrate the mechanical developments in this art. In this connec-
tion, an important watch was donated by John J. and Charles E.
Bowman, Lancaster, Pa. It is No. 49 of 50 watches made about 40
years ago by the donors’ father, Ezra F. Bowman. One of its most
interesting features is that it is regulated by timing screws rather
than the usual type of regulator, so as to avoid the disturbance of its
isochronal adjustment. The watch is also of a smaller design than
the customary watch carried in that day and was a pioneer of the
now established smaller and more convenient watch. The many parts
used in the construction of several of the models of Hamilton
watches, all attractively mounted in a massive framework, was re-
ceived as a gift of the Hamilton Watch Co., Lancaster, Pa. This ex-
hibit, placed with a part of the collection of watches on exhibition,
adds materially to the instructive features of the horological collec-
tions.

Mr. Emile Berliner, Washington, D. C., presented two gramo-
phones of importance in the developments of the talking machine.
One is the first commercial type of machine brought out in 1893, and
the other is an electrically operated machine devised by Mr. Ber-
liner in 1896. Another valuable educational exhibit received during
the year was that prepared by the Royal Typewriter Co., New York.
The exhibit consists of four objects which illustrate the structural
features of the typewriter generally, with particular reference to the
Royal. This is done by means of a sectional or skeleton model of

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. nla lg

the typewriter; a model two times enlarged of the type bar action;
a model two times enlarged of the roller trip escapement; and the
complete Royal typewriter.

Activities and condition of collections Despite the handicap in-
curred through the resignation of Miss Bartlett early in the year, re-
sulting in a reduction of an experienced staff by one third, progress
was made in connection with the maintenance of the collections.
The work of reallocating the exhibits begun last year was continued
satisfactorily, and efforts were successful to a slight degree in procur-
ing new material to bring the several exhibition units more toward
completeness. As a result of the rearrangement, a satisfactory
amount of exhibition space became available, over 75 per cent of
which was gradually made use of for the installation of valuable
objects which, because of the crowded conditions existing before,
were of necessity placed in storage. The preparation, repair, and
installation of this material consumed fully 50 per cent of the time
of the preparator and aid, the balance being used in the design and
construction of new exhibits and the almost endless maintenance of
the delicate objects comprising the greater majority of the collections.
Prominent amongst the installations thus made, were the collection of
bicycles and the collection of rails, both of which collections are
becoming more and more valuable. Considerable time and work was
likewise involved for the whole staff in caring for the materials con-
tinuing in storage. Through the assignment of larger offices to the
division, there became available several basement rooms, which were
immediately used for the storage of materials assigned to the division
but heretofore scattered in three separate places. At this time an
examination of the materials was also made to determine what, if
any, redisposition could be made, each item being considered sepa-
rately. As a result, a group of 146 listed objects were transferred
elsewhere.

In furthering the definite program of eliminating all possible
overlappings of the various Museum activities, there were trans-
ferred to the division of history 79 objects, all but 2 comprising a
biographical series relating to Joseph Henry. For this same general
reason four models of boats were transferred’to the division of his-
tory, their value in history being greater than their value as ex-
amples of naval architecture.

In the nature of new work mention may be made of the almost
complete reconstruction of the “Stourbridge Lion” locomotive
model following research conducted by this office, and the construc-
tion of a model of the airplane designed by Leonardo da Vinci about
1490 A. D. The necessary data for this work was obtained chiefly
from a photostat copy of da Vinci’s notes and incomplete sketches.
Construction of a model of the Hensen aircraft, designed by Hensen

118 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

about 1840, was also undertaken and completed. The work just
enumerated required the whole time of the preparator when not
otherwise engaged in the maintenance and preservation of the
collections. :

The writer’s activities during the year when not required by the
general administrative work and supervision of staff, centered in
the composing of descriptive labels to accompany exhibits. Approxi-
mately 300 labels were prepared and submitted for final printing.
The writer prepared also a descriptive catalogue of the mechanical
engineering collection, which is now in press and will be issued as a
Museum bulletin. The catalogue is confined entirely to motors,
locomotives, and objects dealing with the developments in transpor-
tation, and does not include metrology and horology. These latter
subjects, it is expected, will be the basis of a second volume of the
mechanical collections, to be prepared at some future date. A be-
ginning was made, too, in the preparation of a descriptive catalogue
of the collections devoted to naval architecture, and it is a satisfaction
to report that about one-fourth of the manuscript has been prepared
at this writing.

Considering the scope of the activities of this division, therefore,
and the small staff engaged, the condition of the collections is very
satisfactory, but maintained with difficulty.

Special investigations—No special investigations were conducted
upon the materials in the division other than those which were re-
quired in the constructive development of the collections. Prior to
the actual construction of the models visualizing the developments in
aircraft, Mr. Garber was closely engaged in study so as to obtain the
most authentic data available on these subjects. The results of this
study are shown in the models on exhibition and described earlier in
this report. In original work such as this there is, of course, the
possibility of error in interpretation, so that the division welcomes
any constructive criticism.

Inquiries relative to watches, clocks, locomotives, ships, firearms,
electricity, and to many other subjects were answered, the effort be-
ing made to not only answer the direct inquiry, but to enlarge upon
it, giving all information which might prove useful.

The shortage of watchmakers and scientific instrument makers
throughout the country to-day has been the subject of earnest con-
sideration by those particularly involved. Through the efforts of
Mr. Spier, honorary custodian of watches, the National Research
Council was made conversant with the situation, as a result of which
representatives of the watchmaking industry and the watchmaking
schools were invited to attend a conference under the auspices of the
council to discuss the question and devise means of remedying it.
This conference was held in Washington May 19 and 20, and

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 119

as a result, there was formed tentatively the Horological Institute
of America, whose chief purpose is to bring about the unification of
the schools of watchmaking throughout the country and to increase
the capacity and standard of instruction so that there may be de-
veloped a wholly American industry. At this conference the writer
spoke of the Museum’s educational work and was assured of the co-
operation of those present in the horological work being conducted.
In this connection, and as an added feature for the people attending
the conference, the Hamilton Watch Co. loaned to the Museum for
a period of two months a working model, enlarged six diameters, of
their standard 23 jewel watch movement. The exhibit is still on
exhibition at this writing and is viewed with great interest by the
daily visitors to the Museum. In the organization of the Horolog-
ical Institute, too, Mr. Spier was elected chairman of the organiza-
tion committee and the writer appointed as a member of the advisory
committee.

REPORT ON THE DIVISION OF MINERAL TECHNOLOGY.
By Cart W. MiITMAN, Curator.

Staff—For 18 months after the resignation of Mr. C. C. Gilbert
and Dr. Joseph E. Pogue, curators, efforts were made to secure a
competent staff, but without success. On May 1, 1921, and in order
to prevent the continuation of this condition of affairs, the writer
was appointed to take charge of this as well as the division of
mechanical technology, inasmuch as he formerly was connected with
the division, first as aid and later as assistant curator, and is there-
fore experienced in the work.

With this arrangement Miss Ruth Sherwood, stenographer and
typist of the division of mechanical technology, assumed similar
duties for the division of mineral technology, taking charge of the
files, catalogues, etc., for both divisions; while Mr. Haney, preparator
for the division since its organization, and who has admirably main-
tained the collections during the period of the division’s inactivity,
continues in this same capacity.

Accessions.—Although lacking in organization, the division made
some progress, but only in the obtaining of a few accesions—consid-
erably more than during the preceding year. Last year one acces-
sion, comprising one object—the working model of a salt works—and
626 specimens belonging to an earlier accession were received, while
this year four accessions, comprising 466 specimens, were recorded.
Of these accessions one is a gift, one a deposit, and two are transfers.

The most important of these accessions is that of the American
chemical exhibit deposited by the National Research Council, Wash-
ington, D. C. The central feature of the exhibit is a model repre-
senting an idealized group of chemical industries such as are required
in the production of dyes, war gases, pharmaceuticals, and explo-
sives. The model plants which produce the crude chemicals, namely,
sulphur wells, a coal mine and by-product coke plant, a fixed nitrogen
plant, and salt wells are located at the outer portion of the model,
while the plants for the production of intermediates and finished
products are in the center toward the front. Radiating from the in-
termediate plant are four smaller plants; one for the production of
explosives, another for pharmaceuticals and medicinals, the third for
making war gases, and the fourth for the production of dyes. To
these there might be added synthetic flavors, perfumes, food colors,

synthetic resins, and the like. me

122 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

In addition to the model there are charts showing some of the inter-
mediates and finished products obtained from each of the four crude
chemical materials—sulphur, salt, coal, and atmospheric nitrogen.
On these charts actual samples of the chemical substances are attached.

Other features of the exhibit are a collection of American dyes,
war gases, explosives, pharmaceuticals, synthetic flavors, food colors,
and perfumes, all derived from coal intermediates, and models to
show the molecular structure of these chemicals.

The Bausch & Lomb Optical Co., Rochester, N. Y., presented eight
specimens of optical glass. These are valuable as indicative of the
wholly American optical-glass industry which was developed during
and since the World War.

Upon request of the Georgetown University School of Foreign
Service a few specimens of mineral commodities such as Chile
nitrate, manganese ore, copper ore and copper, raw tin, etc., were
supplied for illustrative purposes in the classroom.

The prime object in view for the division since its inception was
to obtain latitude in depicting the mineral industrial operations and
their social bearing. But to have concentrated on any one project
until complete, with the facilities at hand, would have been to
narrow down the scope of instruction afforded for years ahead.
It seemed best, therefore, to make the exhibits cover the fields of
metals and nonmetals inclusively, even though sketchily to begin
with. Thus the activities were gradually widened so that the total
number of industries represented at this writing is 22, or about
one-half of the important types of mineral occurrences. None is
complete; some depict only the industrial processes; some show
only the stages from native occurrences to finished product; and
few deal with the economic aspects, the most difficult and at the
same time the most important phase of the undertaking. AI] need
a thoroughgoing attention to arrangement and labeling. In other
words, the exhibits already assembled need amplifying, and addi-
tional exhibits are to be obtained.

REPORT ON THE DIVISION OF GRAPHIC ARTS.
By R. P. TorMan, Assistant Curator.

On July 1, 1920, this division was transferred from the depart-
ment of anthropology to the department of arts and industries, and
Mr. R. P. Tolman placed in charge, with title of assistant curator.

Plans were formulated for complete rearrangement of the series
in a logical sequence so as to bring both historical and technical
material of a kind together in a chronological order. This plan
has been carried out only in a small part, but it promises to be a
great improvement and will be followed carefully and should be
completed in the next fiscal year.

The year has been devoted largely to preparation of card cata-
logues in both the division of graphic arts and the section of photog-
raphy and with the collection of material for the completion of the
exhibition series. A number of gaps in the exhibition series have
been filled. As an illustration, the exhibit of handmade paper and
watermarks is one of a series showing the materials used in graphic
arts. Printing ink has been installed for several years. An ex-
hibit showing the steps in designing and making of type is the
next in the series, and Dard Hunter has promised to send the Museum
the materials, tools, etc., used by him for cutting the punches, cast-
ing the type, etc., for the two books made entirely by him. This
will show the hand methods of early times. An exhibit showing
modern methods is being planned.

The definite scientific value of an accession is hard to determine
with such varying material as was received this year. The following
deserve to be mentioned:

The exhibit of handmade paper and watermarking of handmade
paper consists of 90 specimens beginning with the rags from which
the paper is made, photographs of machines used to beat the rags,
four sizes of hand molds, on which the paper is made showing the
various kinds of watermarks, the ordinary wire marks, and the beau-
tiful hight and shade watermarks with method of how the mold is
wired or embossed, together with photographs showing the interior
of a French handmade paper mill, and the model of the paper mill
in the Science Museum, London. Samples of laid paper made about
1480, 1570, 1660, and 1780 with attention called to the differences in
the paper of various dates, especially noticeable in the even texture

123

124 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

of the 1780 example. Also an early sample of wove paper, which
was invented by John Baskerville in 1750, and an example of light
and shade watermark made by Mr. W. H. Smith, the inventor of
the process, about 1850, as well as other fine and beautiful water-
marks. The whole exhibit was assembled and labeled by Mr. Dard
Hunter, of Chillicothe, Ohio, who is an authority on handmade paper,
both as a writer and a manufacturer. One of the many labels may
be of general interest, as it gives a brief history of paper.

Mr. Dard Hunter has also made a second valuable contribution to
the division of two books in unbound condition which he made from
beginning to end. They are The Etching of Figures, by William
Aspinwall Bradley, and The Etching of Contemporary Life, by
Frank Weitenkampf, curator of the print department, New York
Public Library. Both of these books were published by The Chicago
Society of Etchers for their associate members, limited to 250 and 275
copies respectively, and accompanied by an etching by an active mem-
ber of the society. To quote from the introduction in The Etching
of Figures, by Mr. Bradley:

This publication is the entire work of Dard Hunter, Marlborough-on-Hudson.
The paper was made by him especially for this book, each sheet separately in a
hand mold. The steel punches for the type were cut by him, the matrices struck,
and the type cast in a hand mold. The printing was done on a hand press.
These methods are practically the same as those used by printers at the time
of Albrecht Durer.

In an exhaustive study of paper making and typography Mr. Hunter has never
seen mention of a book produced in which paper, type, and printing were the
work of one man as they are in the present volume.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 125

Mr. Rudolph Ruzicka, the well-known wood engraver of New
York, promised the division some time ago an exhibit of his work,
and this year the Carteret Book Club, of Newark, presented a set
of four blocks and five proofs in color through Mr. Ruzicka. These
are especially interesting because the blocks were designed, engraved,
and printed by him for the Carteret Book Club, of Newark, and show
the fine results of modern methods.

Among the prints received this year were about 300 from the
wood blocks of Thomas Bewick from Earle W. Huckel, of Phila-
delphia, a former aid in the division. These are of especial interest,
as only a few original prints were owned by the division. Nine hun-
dred and ninety-nine specimens were received from Mr. Huckel and
need careful study before further comment can be made upon their
value.

Beautiful examples of the art of printing type, designs, and half-
tone engraving were the gift of the firm of Norman T. A. Munder
Co., of Baltimore.

The Rembrandt Intaglio Printing Co., of Lancaster, England,
was the first to use rotary intaglio photogravure, a process developed
for it by Karl Klic, of Vienna. Historical examples dating 1894,
1896, and 1897 are among the specimens received, the 1894 example
being one of the first successful examples ever made. The specimens
in color are very beautiful. This method is now used extensively.
Entire newspapers are printed by this method and the “ rotogra-
vure” section of the Sunday papers show the fine results which are
obtained on cheap paper.

Mr. Benjamin C. Brown, of Pasadena, Calif., president of the
Print Makers Society of California, contributed six examples of his
work in soft ground etching, together with a written description
of his methods of work, which contains new information on the
subject. Five of Mr. Brown’s soft ground etchings are printed in
color, and not only fill a gap in the collection but are as well fine
examples of the art.

This method gives a sketchy and artistic effect. A metal plate is
covered with a soft sticky ground, over which it stretched a thin
sheet of rough paper, and on this the drawing is made with lead
pencil. Where the pencil marks appear on the paper, it sticks to
the ground, so that when the paper is pulled off the ground comes up
with it, leaving the metal exposed wherever the pencil has touched
the paper. The plate is then etched in the usual way.

The American Museum of Natural History, New York City, is for-
tunate in possessing 50 of what are undoubtedly the first font of
metal type ever cast. They were made by the Korean Government
Printing Office in 1403. The American Museum presented facsimiles
in type metal of the brass originals to the United States National

126 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

Museum. The originals were made about 50 years earlier than mov-
able type are said to have been made in Europe. The type are con-
cave underneath and irregular in thickness, but this was of no con-
sequence. They were set up in wax and all pressed down, so that the
printing surface was level.

Clay types were invented in China by a smith named Pi Shing,
between 1041-1049. He engraved a type in a very fine plastic clay
and burned it. He had no successor, and after his death the Chinese
returned to their ancient methods of using engraved blocks of wood,
which process is said to date back to 581 A. D.

Electrotyping is a method used in graphic arts to duplicate print-
ing plates. Where large editions are wanted several plates are neces-
sary and duplicate plates may be made at very small cost, in com-
parison to the original engraved plate. The claim is made that the
metal deposit is harder in proportion to the hardness of the material
on which it is deposited, and therefore the electrotype deposit made
on lead is harder and tougher than that made on wax, so that larger
editions can be printed from lead-molded electrotypes.

The Royal Electrotype Co., of Philadelphia, furnished an exhibit
showing the process of manufacture of lead-molding electrotypes
from a halftone-and-type original through the various steps to
the finished electrotype; and also had it carried through the McKee
treatment which process puts the overlay and underlay in the plate
itself,

At the present time a large percentage of the electrotype plates
are called “nickel-steel.” This name is a misnomer because only
nickel and copper are used. A thin sheet of nickel three one-thou-
sandths of an inch in thickness is deposited first, then a thick layer
of copper. The smooth nickel surface prints with very little wear.

The electrotype exhibit now consists of wax molding, lead molding,
and the McKee treatment of electrotype plate.

Mr. Karl Arvidson and Mr. Charles Furth of the Photogravure
& Color Co., contributed several hundred specimens of photogelatine
and photogravure work extending over a period of 30 or 40 years,
with fine examples of the work they are doing at present in photo-
gravure, both in color and black and white.

The Ketterlinus Lithographic Manufacturing Co., of Philadelphia,
gave 10 specimens of their work in lithographic color printing, which
presents an excellent idea of the results obtained by lithographic
printing.

The three states of the etched plate Shoveller Drake, by Frank W.
Benson, of Salem, Mass., the well-known artist, together with the
original plate in its “ destroyed” condition, show the methods used
by the artist in carrying the plate from the first state to the finished

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 127

published one. This is especially evident from the careful study of
the plate itself. The expression “plate destroyed” does not mean
that the plate has been actually destroyed but that the plate is dis-
figured so that prints from it have no artistic or commercial value.
It also insures the commercial value of the published prints.

Mr. Walter Tittle, of New York, has contributed two of his fine
dry-point etchings of President Harding, taken from life. The divi-
sion needs more contemporary work of the artists.

The specimens contributed by Mr. Howard Levy, of Philadelphia,
are the work of the Overton Engraving Co., and show how the open-
ing in the diaphragm of the camera affects the form of the halftone
dot in the finished product. The effect is truly remarkable.

Examples of two-color printing on both sides of the paper and
four-color printing on one side only were received from the Curtis
Publishing Co., of Philadelphia; the paper going through the press
but once. By this method of wet printing a different effect from dry
printing is obtained. The ink being wet mixes and mellows, giving
good results, but with not quite the brilliance of dry printing.

Max Levy presented an etched master screen, 150 lines to the inch,
for rotary intaglio photogravure. From this master screen photo-
graphic copies are made on glass or film, and such copies are used for
photo printing on carbon tissue.

Mr. Paul Brockett contributed a three-color print, 135 lines to the
inch is shown, and the same picture printed seven lines to the inch.
It is the work of the Trichromatic Engraving Co., and shows clearly
the formation of the halftone dot in color work.

Nearly all the accessions received this year deserve comment, each
one having particular qualities which are of interest.

The total number of specimens received was 1,963, about four times
as many as last year, making a total of 15,983 in the division June
30, 1921. These figures do not take into account the photographic
collections in the section of photography. Mr. A. J. Olmsted, custo-
dian of that section, makes the following report as to the collections
under his charge.

SECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHY.

On July 1, 1920, the section of photography, as a part of the
division of graphic arts, was transferred from anthropology to
the department of arts and industries. Only one accession had been
received since the death of Mr. Thomas W. Smillie, in 1917, to
whom the Museum owes a great debt for his untiring efforts, knowl-
edge, and foresight in collecting the historical material now in the
section of photography. It would be practically impossible at this
time to duplicate it. Mr. Smillie began collecting as early as 1886,
and even then realized that the historical specimens were fast dis-
appearing.

71305°—21——-9

128 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

Efforts were made to continue along the general lines which Mr.
Smillie had followed, and 22 accessions consisting of 333 specimens
were received. They were of both scientific and historical value,
as most of them were new to the section.

The New York World, of New York City, presented a print from
the first negative made in the United States by the Belin methood
of sending illustrations by wire. The picture was the portrait of
an old Indian, and was sent by the St. Louis Post Dispatch to the
New York World on November 14, 1920. It is an interesting and
timely exhibit. Photographs had been transmitted in Europe a
short time previously by this method.

The New York University furnished a bromide enlargement of
the first daguerreotype portrait ever made, dating 1839 or 1840. It
was of Prof. John W. Draper’s sister Dorothy, who posed in the
bright sunshine, her face heavily powdered, for an exposure of about
four minutes.

Specimens of the McDonough color process were secured from Mr.
A. J. McGregor, Chicago, Ill. There are very few specimens of this
process in existence and the Museum is most fortunate to have these
in its collection.

The War Department printed and deposited over 100 photographs
from the original negatives made by Brady of the Civil War, and
also sent a collection of large toned bromide prints representing
scenes in the Great World War, which have been placed on exhibi-
tion. ‘These prints show, not only the comparative methods of war-
fare of 1865 and 1918, but also differences in photographic results.

The most recent development in motion-picture cameras is repre-
sented by a Jenkins model of a high-speed camera that will make
30,000 exposures a minute—these results are necessary in the study
of analysis of motion. Strange as it may seem, Muybridge, who is
known as the grandfather of motion pictures, began his work in an
effort to study the motion of animals. To-day thie highest develop-
ment of motion pictures is the analysis of motion—studying the
motion of projectiles and airplane propeller blades, etc.

The Canadian Government, Dominion Park Branch, sent a reel of
motion-picture film picturing Trumpeter Swans, an almost extinct
bird—and for this reason the film is valuable and will be increasingly
so as the years go by.

Several pate by processes Toe were not represented in the col-
lection have been received: a bromoil of Andrew Carnegie from
Harris & Ewing, from Mr. Edward Crosby Doughty an enlarge-
ment on Japanese tissue, and Mr. Charles E. Fairman furnished
some very attractive gum prints.

One thousand three hundred and seventy-one printed plates and
apparatus of the Muybridge collection were catalogued this year,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 129

thereby bringing the work up to date and making it possible to
catalogue the accessions as received in the future. This was a large
amount of work and took several months to accomplish it. The
completion of the card catalogue almost marks an epoch in the records
of the collection. Up to this year the card catalogue consisted of
three separate systems, from which no totals could be obtained. The
numbers now run in an unbroken series, the last entry being 3388,
and a cross-reference is partially completed.

The wall cases on the south side of the court were cleaned and
material in them stored. This space was used for the Brady Civil
War and Signal Corps’ photographs of the Great World War. This
collection of pictures complements the war collections made by the
Museum and attracts much attention from visitors.

The series of partly finished lenses furnished by Bausch & Lomb
Optical Co. makes a fine new exhibit and will be of interest to those
who wish to learn how a fine anastigmat lens is made. There are
many and various processes of fine workmanship which enter into
their manufacture.

Tn order to place new and timely exhibits, old ones must be taken
down. This crowded condition and lack of space somewhat inter-
feres with the growth of the collection and the desire to secure new
material. Mr. G. S. Williams, of Washington, is a friend of the
collection. In the past he has secured many exhibits and always
has the advancement of the collection in mind. Likewise Mr. George
Harris, of Harris & Ewing, sends material of Museum interest, that
comes to him in the course of business.

Mr. C. L. Lewis, Toledo, Ohio, past president of the Photogra-
phers’ Association of America, often visits the collection when in
Washington, and was instrumental in securing the transparency and
lantern slide of the McDonough color process received during the
year. The collections of the section are unique. The Photogra-
phers’ Association of America has appointed a committee to form
a similar collection, to be at Winona Lake, Ind., where they aim
to establish a school of photography, endowed by the association.
The formation of another collection will make competition for new
material, and funds should be provided so the section of photography
can purchase rare specimens when they come on the market.

Plans for the coming year are a continuance of those formulated
last year. A section devoted to the history of color photography
and motion pictures is in course of development. Efforts will be
made to secure recent pictorial photographs from America’s leading
pictorial workers.

REPORT ON THE DIVISION OF HISTORY.

By T. T. Bexore, Curator.
IMPORTANT CHANGHS IN ORGANIZATION,

During the past fiscal year the organization of the division of
history has undergone an important change. On July 1, 1920, the
division which had been a branch of the department of anthropology
since its organization in 1881, was given an independent status as a
separate and distinct branch of the Museum’s activities. This action
was the logical result of the tremendous development of the historical
collections, particularly during the more recent period of their exist-
ence, a development which rendered their efficient and economic admin-
istration except as an independent unit a very difficult matter. The
change was desirable, however, not only from the standpoint of ef-
ficiency and economy but from the scientific point of view as well,
in that the historical collections in the Museum represent classes of
materials of an unique character. They are of special interest and
value to the public and to the student of history on account of their
_exceptional patriotic and educational significance in connection with
the national development of the United States. Illustrating pri-
marily military and naval history, they represent also many other
phases of American achievements and contributions to world prog-
ress along social, political, technical, and scientific lines.

The establishment of the division upon an independent basis, and
the addition to the staff of an aid in connection with the war collec-
tions has greatly increased the facilities of the division for systematic
historical museum work. The separation of the historical from the
anthropological collections permits their future development along
strictly historical lines, and at the same time eliminates a great vol-
ume of work of routine character which was necessary under the
former arrangement.

COMPARISON OF INCREMENT OF SPECIMENS OF 1920-21 WITH THAT OF 1919—20.

The number of specimens received during the past fiscal year is
much smaller than the number received during the previous year.
This is explained by the fact that the number received during the
fiscal year 1919-20 was uncommonly large, owing to the acquirement
by the Museum of an immense amount of military and naval ma-

131

terial relating to the war with Germany. Even so the additions dur-
ing the past year are sufficiently large to materially increase the matter
on hand and to indicate that the collections will continue to expand
in a normal and satisfactory manner. The 7,144 specimens received
cover a wide range as regards their character, and represent very
evenly the various fields and sections of the historical activities of
the Museum.

ACCESSIONS DESERVING SPECIAL NOTICE.

The extent and importance of the materials added to the historical
collections during the past fiscal year can only be made clear after
a brief reference to the various classes into which these materials are
divided in accordance with the present scheme of the activities of the
division.

The historical collections are at present divided under two gen-
eral heads, one including the material relating to the recent World
War; the other, known at present as the original historical collec-
tions, includes much material relating to United States history prior
to and subsequent to that period. The collections relating to the
World War are further divided into the following classes of ma-
terial: Commemorative, foreign, military, naval, numismatic, and
pictorial. The original collections are divided into the following
classes of matter: Antiquarian, biographical, costume, military,
naval, numismatic, philatelic, and pictorial.

Thus it may be noted that the division of history seeks to illustrate
the national development of the United States by an accumulation.
of museum material belonging to the classes stated above, which
when associated together and exhibited in contiguous territory will
present a graphic story of the most notable phases of American his-
tory. Each of the classes of materials mentioned above has a specific
duty to perform in this connection, and all unite to form a vast reser-
voir of objects for the graphic presentation in museum form of the
annals of the United States from the colonial period down to most
recent times.

WAR COLLECTIONS.

The additions to this section of the historical collections have not
been so large as during the previous fiscal year when they attained to
gigantic proportions. They have nevertheless been notable both in
size and interest.

Most notable have been the contributions made by the Navy De-
partment. The exhibit of this Department in the rotunda of the
Natural History Building and in the Aircraft Building now includes
among other objects the following of special note. In the latter loca-
tion are shown two naval aircraft of the latest design, a flying boat

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 133

F-5-L, and an aeromarine 39-B seaplane. The first of these is sec-
tionalized to show the process of manufacture and forms one of the
most interesting objects in the entire war collection. Planes of this
type were used for patrol and convoy duty in the war zone during
the great conflict. Their wing spread is 103 feet 10 inches, length
over all 49 feet 4 inches, gasoline capacity 495 gallons, speed 100
miles an hour, horsepower 800, and weight with field load 13,000
pounds. They are equipped with radio, four 230-pound bombs, 10
Lewis guns, and 1 Davis nonrecoil gun. They carry a crew of five
including two pilots, a radio operator, a bomber, and a mechanician.
Power is derived from two Liberty motors and the possible cruising
‘radius is about eight hours. This splendid plane with its hugh bulk
and massive wings suggesting a fabled marine bird of prehistoric
times, its powerful motive engine, its gasoline tanks, its delicate and
complicated apparatus for purposes of navigation and communica-
tion, and, finally, its bombs for offensive, and its guns for defensive
purposes may well be taken as a suitable illustration of the wonder-
ful use by the Navy Department of this latest and most efiective
enemy of the submarine and protector of friendly shipping. This
exhibit is made even more graphic and effective by the installation
of four model figures representing as many members of the crew at
their respective stations with flying suits and equipment as actually
used in time of war. The second plane deposited by the Navy De-
partment is a much smaller scout plane, known as an aeromarine
39-B, ‘This plane is equipped with a Curtiss 100-horsepower engine
capable of making 1,400 revolutions a minute with a speed of 68
miles an hour. The upper wing of this plane is 47 feet in width, the
lower 36 feet, the length over all 30 feet, and the height 13 feet.

In the rotunda of the Natural History Building are a number of
very interesting models showing the types of vessels used by the
Navy in the war zone, including the torpedo-boat destroyer Manley,
which did patrol duty and chased enemy submarines from December
26, 1917, to November 11, 1918; a submarine chaser, 441 of which
were built during the war and 121 performed efficient service on the
coast of France and in the Mediterranean; an Eagle boat designed
especially to chase enemy submarines, but none of which were fin-
ished in time to take part in the war; a submarine of late model; the
converted yacht Corsair representing a type of converted yacht used
as an auxiliary very successfully during the war; and a mine sweeper
designed especially to remove loaded mines from the paths of other
ships. Thirty-six of the latter were sent to Europe after the armis-
tice was signed for duty in connection with the removal of the
North Sea barrage.

Of great interest in connection with these models are a number of
marine instruments of the most recent type used on naval vessels for

184 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

various purposes, including a magnetic compass, a master gyroscopic
compass, a chronometer, a sextant, a pelorus, a patent log, a sound-
ing machine, a hand lead, a stadimeter, and an aneroid barometer.
These illustrate in an excellent manner the character of the delicate
and complex machinery by means of which the modern ships of war
are managed.

The exhibit of the Navy Department also contains a number of
typical pieces of ordnance of the type used during the war, as the
6-inch gun from which was fired the first American shot during the
war, and the primer which fired the last shot on November 11, 1918,
at 10 o’clock 57 minutes 30 seconds, and examples of regular types
of naval guns, as a 1-pounder rapid-fire gun on a boat cage stand
mount used on the bows of .boats when employed in landing armed
detachments or on harbor patrol; a 3-inch Davis nonrecoil 13-pounder
gun used on small patrol vessels having decks too light to stand the
shock of recoil of the usual type of guns; a 3-inch 50-caliber anti-
aircraft gun; anda Y gun or depth-charge projector used to attack
submarines. Of particular interest in this connection are unique
models, complete in every detail, of the long-range naval guns on
tractor and railroad mounts used in France during the war, includ-
ing the 7-inch naval tractor and the 14-inch naval railway batteries,
marks 1 and 2. In connection with these guns are a number of fire-
control instruments, including a bore-sight telescope, a gun-sight
telescope, a gun-sight check telescope, a short-base range finder, and
a turret periscope. Other ordnance materials of note are projectiles
of the type used by the Navy during the war—a number of aircraft
bombs; 12, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 8, inch shells; 6, 3, and 1 pounder gun pro-
jectiles; and a number of torpedoes and torpedo tubes.

Of special interest are a number of pieces of the delicate yet power-
ful signaling apparatus used during the war on naval airplanes and
ships. These include a radio-telephone set, a radio compass, and
specimens of receiving and transmitting vacuum tubes. A very strik-
ing exhibit in this connection is a set of hydrophones for the detec-
tion of the proximity of submarines, mounted on a model of a ship’s
stern.

The Navy Department has also deposited a number of pieces of
captured German naval material. The most interesting of these
are the engines of a German submarine, complete in every detail,
a torpedo, and seven naval-gun shells.

As may be noted from the foregoing summary, the exhibit already
deposited by the Navy Department relating to the great war is most
striking and presents in a graphic manner the leading features of
the work of that branch of the service during the great conflict.
This exhibit is constantly receiving additions of note and will un-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 135

doubtedly in time become one of the most notable collections of such
materials in existence.

Of important additions to the numismatic section of the war col-
lection are replicas of the victory medal with the buttons and ribbons
pertaining thereto, received from the War Department, Quarter-
master Corps. From the same source were received copies of the
certificates issued by the War Department to those wounded in the
service during the war and to the next of kin in the case of those
who were killed. Replicas of the naval medals issued for special
services during the war, including the medal of honor, distinguished
service cross, and distinguished service medal were purchased. From
the Italian Government, through the State Department, were re-
ceived two bronze replicas set in marble of the obverse and reverse
of the gold medal of honor presented by the Italian National Com-
mittee founded for that purpose to King Victor Emmanuel III as
commander in chief of the army and navy as a national testimonial
of the deeds of heroism and sacrifice performed by the Italian people
during the World War. Of special interest among other medals
added to the collection during the past year are replicas of the medal
commemorating the achievements of the American Red Cross War
Council, 1917-1919, received from the American Numismatic Society;
of the medal awarded in 1919 by Williams College to Williams men
who served in the Army or the Navy of the United States or of any
of the Allies during the war, from Williams College; of the medal
by A. Bonnetain, commemorating the services of Marie Dupage and
Edith Cavell, from Mrs. E. H. Harriman.

An interesting series of European commemorative medals of the
war was also added to the collection. These include portrait medals
of President Wilson, General Pershing, Premier Clemenceau, and
Marshal Foch. Of special interest in connection with the work of
American patriotic societies during the war are a replica of the
World War service insignia and a copy of the certificate for civilian
service issued by the General Society of Colonial Wars to members
of the society in recognition of patriotic service rendered to the
United States during the war. These were presented to the Museum
by the society.

The pictorial material relating to the war has been increased by
a number of specimens, the most important being two large paint-
ings by Arthur M. Hazard of Boston, Mass., entitled “Not by
Might” and “ The Spirit of the Armistice.” These two works typify
the noble and unselfish achievements of the American soldiers and
sailors in a spirited and striking manner. They were used in the
United States during the fourth and fifth Liberty loan drives, and
also in Canada during the Victory loan drive of that Dominion.

136 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

They have been presented to the Museum by the Woman’s Liberty
Loan Committee of New England.

The collection of uniforms of the type worn by American women
during the war, which is being assembled in the Museum by the
National Society of the Colonial Dames of America, has been in-
creased by representatives of the following organizations:

Chief yeoman (F), United States Naval Reserve Force; yeoman
(F) winter uniform; yeoman (F) summer uniform; National League
for Women’s Service, first lieutenant, Junior Corps; League of |
Catholic Women, canteen service; Woman’s Land Army of Hamil-
ton County, Ohio, under auspices of Cincinnati Garden Club; Na-
tional Land Army of Ohio, canteen uniform; War Camp Com-
munity Service; contract surgeon, United States Army; Salvation
Army; United States Army nurse; American Fund for French
Wounded; Knights of Columbus; Emergency Fleet Corporation,
United States Shipping Board; Navy Nurse Corps, blue and white
hospital uniforms; and Young Women’s Christian Association.

To the commemorative section of the war collections was added
a collection of British and Canadian uniforms worn during the war
by Lieut. Louis Bennett of the 40th Squadron, Royal Air Force,
who was killed in action in France August 24, 1918. These are
accompanied by a number of miscellaneous documents and photo-
graphs relative to the service of Lieutenant Bennett. The collec-
tion was presented to the Museum by Lieutenant Bennett’s mother,
Mrs. Louis Bennett, of Weston, W. Va.

A touching reminder of the conflict reaching the Museum during
the past year is the body of the carrier pigeon Cher Ami received
from the United States Signal Corps and mounted by the Museum
taxidermist. This pigeon was one of 600 birds which were donated
by the pigeon fanciers of Great Britain for use in France during
the World War. Trained by American pigeoneers and flown from
American lofts, 1917-18, Cher Ami returned to his loft with a
message dangling from the ligaments of a leg cut off by rifle or
shell shot. He was also shot through the breast and died from
the effects of this wound June 13, 1919.

The foreign material relating to the World War has been in-
creased by 2 collection of French military objects presented to the
Museum by the French Government. This collection includes a
steel listening post, a steel cupola with gun, a catapult, a Brandt
cannon, a number of hand and rifle grenades, several swords and
bayonets, signal rockets, a number of pieces of armor and mis-
cellaneous relics. From the Czecho-Slovak Army in Russia, artillery
section, with headquarters at Vladivostok, was received a Russian
3-inch field-gun, model of 1903, manufactured at Perm, which was
originally mounted upon a wheeled carriage but later removed

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 137

and modified for mounting on a railroad car. The gun was cap-
tured with the armored train Orlik from bolshevists forces by
Czecho-Slovak troops, July, 1918, and used by the latter in their
defense of the Trans-Siberian Railroad, 1918-20. From the War
Department, Motor Transport Corps, was received three captured
German military vehicles as follows: A Komnick auto truck, a
Herring truck, and a Lanz ordnance tractor.

ORIGINAL COLLECTIONS,

The antiquarian section of the original historical collections has
received a number of notable objects, among which the following may
be mentioned: A watch seal of carnelian set in gold, bearing the
Washington crest and owned by General Washington subsequent to
the War of the Revolution. The seal was given by Washington to
his nephew, Bushrod Washington, who inherited Mount Vernon
upon the death of Mrs. Washington in 1802. It was later bequeathed
to Mr. William Lanier Washington and has now been presented to
the National Museum by Mr. William Sloane, of New York City.
A pair of shoe buckles and a punch glass owned by General Wash-
ington; a purse owned by Mrs. Washington; a gold watch and a sil-
ver teaspoon owned by Lord Thomas Fairfax; a silver tea caddy
owned by Gov. Alexander Spottswood; a knife and fork owned by
Dr. William Cabell; three glass decanters in a silver stand owned
by Col. Augustine Claiborne; and a traveling sermon box owned
by Gilbert Burnett, Bishop of Salisbury, were lent by the National
Society of the Colonial Dames of America. .A Cincinnati china tea-
cup and an antique Mexican chair were presented by Mrs. E. M.
Chapman. A collection of 15 pieces of American Historical china-
ware, including a number of pieces used at the White House by Presi-
dent Lincoln and decorated with the United States coat of arms, was
lent by Mrs. F. W. Dickins. <A pair of silver shoe buckles worn dur-
ing the War of the Revolution by Lieut. Col. Thomas Posey, of the
Seventh Virginia Regiment, was lent by Miss Lucy S. Beverley, and
two glass decanters owned by Henry Clay were the gift of Mrs.
Lulu Hillary Epler.

Among the notable additions to the biographical section of the
historical collections are a silver punch bowl with tray, ladle, and 10
mugs, which were presented to Lieut. Col. George Armistead. The
bowl with cover is in the shape of a cannon ball supported by four
eagles. On one side is engraved a view of the fort and harbor; on
the other appears the following inscription: “ Presented by a number
of the citizens of Baltimore to Lieutenant Colonel George Armistead
for his gallant and successful defense of Fort McHenry during the
bombardment by a large British force on the 12th and 13th of Sep-
tember, 1814, when upwards of 1,500 shells were thrown, 400 of

138 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

which fell within the area of the Fort, and some of them of the
diameter of this vase.” These interesting souvenirs of the bombard-
ment of Fort McHenry have been installed in the case with the
original United States flag which flew over the fort at that time
and which inspired Francis Scott Key to write the words of the
Star Spangled Banner. They are presented to the Museum by Mr.
Alexander Gordon, jr., of Baltimore, a great-grandson of Lieut.
Col. George Armistead. A very handsome gold mounted and jew-
eled sword presented to Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan in 1861 by
the city of Philadelphia was donated to the Museum by his daughter,
Mme. Paul Desprez. A particularly interesting relic in connection
with the lives of famous Americans is an iron wedge bearing the
initials “ A. L.” which was used by Abraham Lincoln when a resi-
dent of New Salem, Hl., 1830-1834, and given by him to Mentor
Graham, his instructor in surveying. This important memento of
the early life of the great war President has been presented to the “
Smithsonian Institution by Mr. Henry W. Allen, of California.
Other notable relics of the Civil War acquired during the past fiscal
year were a dress sword with belt, sash, gauntlets, and spurs, pre-
sented to Brig. Gen. Marcus La Rue Harrison by the officers and
men of his command, the First Arkansas Regiment, and donated to
the Museum by Mrs. Harrison. The National American Woman’s
Suffrage Association has added to their already large and interesting
collection of relics in the Museum a gold badge presented to Susan
B, Anthony by the Citizens Suffrage Association of Philadelphia in
1848, a flag pin presented to her by the ladies of Wyoming on the
occasion of her eightieth birthday in 1900, and the distinguished
service medal awarded to Dr. Anna Howard Shaw by the United
States War Department for especially meritorious and conspicuous
service as chairman of the Woman’s Committee of the Council of
National Defense during the War with Germany. The biographical
collections have also been increased by a large collection of objects re-
lating to the scientific career of Joseph Henry, first Secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution, transferred from the division of me-
chanical technology.

The principal feature of the period costumes section of the his-
torical collections, namely, the series of costumes worn by mistresses
of the White House, has been brought up to date by the addition of
the dress worn by Mrs. Ellen Louise Wilson during the first adminis-
tration of President Wilson. This costume of satin brocade, the
bodice trimmed with rhinestones and pearls and the train of lace,
has been lent by Mrs. Wilson’s daughter, Miss Margaret Wilson.
Other additions of note to the costumes section included a number
of costumes covering the period from colonial times to the present
day, both American and European, the gift of the estate of Mrs.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 139

Mary E. Pinchot. Numerous other additions of the same general
character have also been made to this important section of the his-
torical collections.

The military section has received a number of interesting acces-
sions, the most notable being the uniform coat, vest, breeches, and
sash worn by Capt. Ely Dagworthy of the British Army during the
French and Indian War. This uniform, lent by the National Society
of the Colonial Dames of America, is the earliest British uniform in
the possession of the Museum, and is a splendidly preserved speci-
men of the uniforms of the type which played such a prominent part
in America during the French and Indian War, the War of the Revo-
lution, and the War of 1812. Other military relics of note received
during the past fiscal year are two pairs of epaulets of the period
of the War of 1812, presented by Mrs. Mary Mason Barlow; a sword,
a saber, a hat, belt, cup, and powder horn, used during the War with
Mexico by Lieut. Baldwin J. Crosswait, Third Ohio Infantry, pre-
sented by Miss Forest M. Crosswait; a sword, sash, and four belts,
owned during the Civil War by Bvt. Capt. Frank M. Smith, First
Maryland Volunteers, presented by Mrs. Smith; a pair of epaulets
worn during the Civil War by Col. E. W. Chastain, Eighth Georgia
Regiment, Confederate States Army, lent by Mr. Norman C. Stow;
and a sword, scabbard, and belt, taken from the body of a Mexican
bandit after the raid of Francisco Villa on Columbus, N. Mex., March
9, 1916, presented by the Hon. A. S. Burleson.

The materials relating to the history of the Navy prior to the
World War have been increased by a number of accessions of 1m-
portance. Among these are a collection of relics recovered from the
wreck of the U. S. battleship Maine when the remains of this ship
were removed from Habana Harbor in 1911, including such materials
as chinaware, silverware, timepieces, rifles, powder cans, binoculars,
and various other objects in use on the ship in 1898 at the time of
the explosion. AJl of them now show plainly the effects of the salt
water by which they were covered during the period when the wreck
remained submerged. These were received from the Navy Depart-
ment. A fitting companion piece to this collection is a bronze memo-
rial plaque, designed by Charles Keck, and cut from metal recovered
from the wreck at the same time as the relics described above. This
beautiful tablet, presented to the Museum by Dr. Gertrude R. Brig-
ham, is one of a number of such pieces made from various parts of
the Maine in accordance with act of Congress of August 22, 1902,
which authorized their manufacture.

The materials relating to the early history of the Navy have also
been increased by the transfer from the division of mechanical tech-
nology of models of the frigate Constitution, the first United States
Monitor, and the Confederate ram Merrimac.

140 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921.

The collections of the section of numismatics have been increased
by a number of interesting specimens. As was the case during the
previous year the principal contributor to the coin collection has
been Mr. Douglas N. Starr, of Washington, D. C., who has made a
number of notable additions to his already large and interesting loan
collection of United States and foreign coins. Among these are the
following United States gold pieces: Five dollars, 1884; twenty dol-
lars, 1850; twenty dollars, 1907, designed by Augustus St. Gaudens;
one dollar, McKinley memorial, 1917; and two specimens of the
United States silver half dollar commemorating the Pilgrim Ter-
centenary, 1920. Mr. Starr has also lent a most interesting series of
uncirculated German commemorative coins, showing the portraits of
the German emperors from 1871 to 1914. Mr. George W. Conner,
of Hollywood, Calif., has presented an interesting series of the paper
currency of the Republic of Texas. Among interesting additions to
the collection of medals are a bronze portrait plaque of Ambrose
Swasey, designed by Victor D. Brenner, which has been presented
by Mr. Swasey; a bronze medal commemorating the centennial anni-
versary of the University of Virginia, presented to the Smithsonian
by the university; and a bronze replica of the medal of award of the
Alaska- Yukon Pacific Exposition, presented by Erastus Brainard,
of Seattle, Wash.

The philatelic collections have been increased during the year by
the addition of numerous specimens from the Post Office Department,
and many of these are examples of new issues received by that depart-
ment from the International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union,
Berne, Switzerland. Unfortunately, owing to the serious illness of
the philatelist it is impossible at present to give specific description
of the materials received in this field of the activities of the division
of history.

RESEARCHES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE MUSEUM,

Under this head may very appropriately be considered a most
important work undertaken during the past fiscal year in connection
with the reclassification of the records of the division. This was
rendered necessary by the separation of the historical records from
those of the department of anthropology with which they had here-
tofore been connected. It is now possible for the first time to unite
the entire body of data relating to the historical specimens in the
offices of the division. This will be accomplished by the entry of
this data in skeleton form in Museum catalogue books of standard
type from which series of catalogue numbers will be assigned to all
the historical material involved, both old and new. Thus the his-
torical records will be greatly simplified and the entire series of
catalogue books containing them will be located in a single consecu-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1921. 141

tive file instead of being scattered through the anthropological files
as was formerly the case. In the same connection the early records
are being verified and the material covered by them classified under
the various heads indicating the field of activity of the various sec-
tions of the division as indicated in the earlier portion of this report.
Corresponding adjustments are being made in the arrangement of the
card catalogue of the division, and when the researches along this
line are complete an excellent basis will have been secured for the
preparation of a classified catalogue of the historical collections for
publication purposes.

RESEARCHES ELSEWHERE AIDED BY MUSEUM MATERIAL,

The usual number of inquiries concerning the historial materials
have been received during the past fiscal year and much information
along this line has been furnished for the benefit of researches in
historical museum material in other fields. In many instances the
data furnished has been accompanied by photographs of objects
connected with the work under discussion.
