In addition, under the economy provi- sions of the Independent Offices Act for 1935, an indefinite appro- priation, effective February 1) 1934, amounting to 5 percent of the basic salaries, was made to cover the return of a portion of the salary reduction in force at the beginning of the year. The Museum allotments are summarized as follows: Pereservation.of collections. to. 2s.

The drastic cut carried with it the elimination of the provision effective last year for impoundment of salaries from vacant positions and made it possible to utilize the funds saved from lapses and necessary delays in filling vacancies. Without this change, which allowed essential temporary services and the pur- chase of miscellaneous materials, the organization would have been unable to operate. | 1 De REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 The allotment for printing and binding was $18,725 below the greatly reduced amount of the previous year, and the printing of manuscripts, already greatly in arrears, was entirely stopped except for the annual report. Another serious result of this reduction was the loss of funds for the binding of serial publications and other books for the Museum lbrary. One position was added to the personnel of the Museum, an assist- ant lbrarian transferred from the abolished Regional Bureau of the International Catalogue of Scientific Literature. This position was established to carry on certain bibliographical work greatly needed in the library. No relief was obtained from serious condi- tions resulting from a greatly undermanned force, and the custodial, clerical, and scientific personnel is still far inadequate for our needs. The return of a portion of the salary cut of last year has been of great assistance to all members of the staff, since living costs have been steadily mounting. Additional personnel is a recurrent annual need, since clerical and subprofessional aid through the entire staff is at low ebb, resulting in an arrearage of work in arranging and cataloging specimens that increases steadily each year. Further guards are required in order to protect properly our collections and buildings and to allow fall leave for Sunday and holiday service, and there is need for an increased force of charwomen and laborers. The status of the erection of new wings for the Natural History Building remains unchanged, with the project authorized by act of Congress and the preliminary architects’ plans completed. It is hoped that under the Public Works Administration or through some other source means may be found to put this building plan into effect, as the Museum’s quarters become steadily more crowded, and need for more space is imperative. COLLECTIONS Additions of valuable material to the collections continued throughout the year, the receipts being largely in the form of gifts as expeditions were curtailed; no specimens were purchased except in the case of commitments already made. The extensive collections of the Museum prove to be a definite magnet, drawing offers con- stantly from owners of private collections of various kinds. New material came in 1,842 separate accessions, with a total of 333,874 specimens divided among the five departments as follows: Anthro- pology, 9,599; biology, 282,441; geology, 30,747; arts and industries, 5,832; history, 5,255. Statement regarding some of the more impor- tant additions will be found in the reports of the departments that follow, and all are noted in the accession list. The total increase for the preceding year was 348,012 specimens of all kinds. OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 3 For examination and report 1,376 lots of material were received, including much of a botanical and geological nature, and many indi- vidual specimens. Part was returned by request to the senders, when it was not consumed during analysis, and part retained for the collections under arrangement with the donors. Gifts of specimens to schools and other educational organizations numbered 7,197 specimens, including collections of mollusks and fishes, sets to illustrate rock weathering and soils, and illustrative groups of rocks, ores, and minerals. Exchanges of duplicate ma- terials with other institutions and individuals totaled 16,356 speci- mens, and 50 specimens were transferred to other departments. Loans to workers outside of Washington numbered 30,065 individual specimens. Following is a summary of specimens now covered in the Museum catalogs: PATIENT ODOLOS Y= 2s ee iies Ny AR Sere key ee 678, 192 LONG Cay eer wees way Wine NAN ae Can eek LA ie Sh ee 11, 104, 838 (SO a7 NA i OE ra a IR A A a 2, 158, 455 ANTES ANGE AO a Eb FS igh Cc ene el 121, 199 MGC OTs yqrere et rs are I ee 494, 027 PRO GaN eee Restrnt: ACH aya te eS ae 14, 556, 711 EXPLORATIONS AND FIELD WORK Work in the field during the year was much curtailed through the reduction in regular appropriations and through the assignment for other purposes of funds usually available from the private in- come of the Smithsonian Institution. Further, because of reduced moneys, the services of the staff were required more or less continu- ously in the Museum to carry on the usual routine work in connection with the collections. The field work done was financed mainly through grants from the invested funds of the Smithsonian and other sources, with certain projects of an archeological nature carried on in connection with C. W. A. and P. W. A. projects. Donations from interested friends also helped to make the work more effective and thorough. Additional funds for field investigations are one of the always important needs of our organization. During the last few weeks of the fiscal year, H. W. Krieger, cura- tor of ethnology, undertook field work in the valley of the Columbia River in Oregon and Washington, the immediate purpose being to salvage archeological information and material in the area to be flooded by the dam under construction at Bonneville, Oreg. This work was carried on at the request of the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs, through an allotment of P. W. A. funds. The field is one familiar to Mr. Krieger, who has worked in the area previously under the auspices of the Bureau of American Ethnology. 4 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 From August 19 to November 1, 1933, Frank M. Setzler, assistant curator of archeology, directed the excavation and restoration of several Indian mounds, a neighboring village site, and surrounding earthworks near Marksville, Avoyelles Parish, La., in a cooperative project with the city of Marksville, which had purchased a large portion of the area known to archeologists as the Marksville Works for development as a park and recreational center. The local com- mittee in charge and the city council, cognizant of the value of scientific data to be obtained through careful examination, united in inviting the Smithsonian Institution to supervise the excavation and the restorations. The necessary labor was supplied through the local Emergency Relief Administration. The results more than justified expectations. Various mounds were explored and then restored, and village sites were excavated. The scientific importance of the obser- vations made lies in the fact that material remains, local burial customs, and other factors have made it possible to identify the culture of this site definitely as a southeastern variant of the spec- tacular Hopewell archeological culture previously known in southern Ohio, with related phases appearing in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana. Although a few Hopewell vessels from south of the Ohio River had been described prior to the excavations at Marksville, archeologists have never considered the possibility of finding so far south an aboriginal site whose material remains are so closely related to this prehistoric Indian culture. The results ob- tained at the Marksville Works by Fowke and Setzler have not only enlarged the boundary of the highly developed Hopewell complex but have proved this to be one of the basic cultures in the Southeast. In mid April, at the request of Hon. T. A. Jenkins, Representative from Ohio, the Institution sent Mr. Setzler to Proctorville, Ohio, to investigate the occurrence of aboriginal remains in trenches being dug for water and sewer lines. After observation and study of the skeletons, potsherds, shells, and bone and stone artifacts recovered, Mr. Setzler concluded that the southeastern part of the town was built on the site of a village once inhabited by Indians considered in Ohio as belonging to the protohistoric Fort Ancient Culture. These _ otherwise nameless Indians are generally regarded as ancestors of the Ohio Sioux. Specimens and skeletal remains from Proctorville have been donated to the national collections by the resident engineer, B. E. McCown, of Ironton, Ohio. On May 14, 1934, Dr. Ales’ Hrdléka, curator of physical anthro- pology, left for Kodiak Island, Alaska, to resume excavations at Larsens Bay, where work was carried on 2 years ago. The expedition was made possible by funds provided through the Smithsonian Insti- tution, with assistance from Mrs. Charles D. Walcott. OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 5 At the end of May, Dr. C. Lewis Gazin, assistant curator of verte- ' brate paleontology, aided by George Sternberg, began work in the Pliocene and Pleistocene formations of southern Idaho, particularly in the Plesippus quarry near Hagerman, formerly explored by Gidley and Boss. The work was financed by a grant from the Smithsonian Institution. As this expedition was still in progress at the end of the year, a detailed report will be presented later. Dr. Remington Kellogg and Dr. Gazin, assisted by Raymond Gil- more, spent over a week in August at Governors Run, Md., searching Miocene deposits for remains of fossil cetaceans. Dr. G. A. Cooper, assistant curator of stratigraphic paleontology, visited Tennessee and Arkansas, where in specially selected Paleozoic localities he collected much material of interest to the Museum. A short trip by Dr. C. E. Resser, curator of the division, resulted in collecting, among other fossils, a rare starfish from the Ordovician rocks of Pennsylvania. This work was done at the expense of those concerned. James Benn, aid in geology, with the assistance of other members of the department, collected an excellent slab from the Calvert Cliffs of Chesapeake Bay, Md., for the exhibition series. This specimen shows three life zones of the Miocene in different levels. He likewise obtained in the vicinity of Washington a group of Lower Cretaceous lignite logs. Dr. W. F. Foshag, curator of mineralogy, traveling under the Roebling fund, spent a few days examining the pegmatite pocket at Topsham, Maine. E. P. Henderson, assistant curator of physical and chemical geology, under the Canfield fund, in company with Frank L. Hess, of the United States Bureau of Mines, in June studied the pegmatites of the spruce pine district of North Carolina, where they obtained good exhibition and study material. Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, curator of marine invertebrates, was again invited by Capt. G. Allan Hancock to accompany an expedition to the Galapagos Islands on the yacht Velero III. The party left Los Angeles on December 30, 1933, and enroute to the Galapagos stopped at Socorro and Clarion Islands, Mexico. They devoted 21 days to the Galapagos Islands and 16 to the coast of South America between Guayaquil, Ecuador, and Panama, making stops at several places in Ecuador and Colombia. On the return along the Cen- tral American coast they made collections at Jicaron Island, the Secas Islands and Bahia Honda, Panama, and on the southern Mexi- can coast at Tangola-Tangola, the White Friars Rocks, Petatlan Bay, Tenacatita, and Isabel Island, and also visited Santa Maria Bay and Cerros Island off the coast of Baja California. The cruise terminated at San Pedro, Calif., on March 14, 1934. The new local- ities visited and the superior dredging equipment provided by Capt. 6 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 Hancock resulted in an extremely valuable collection, adding partic- ularly to knowledge of the carcinological fauna of the region visited. Two porpoises, bats, some fishes, and a series of Galapagos birds were also obtained, as well as several live tortoises for the National Zoological Park. Dr. David C. Graham, now connected with the West China Museum at Chengtu, capital of the Province of Szechwan, resumed explora- tions in the mountains of western China, and during the summer of 1933 undertook an expedition along the river Min to the region north of Chengtu. He left that city on July 16 and arrived at Wen-chuan- shien on July 21, where he collected for several days. He next ex- plored the mountains immediately north of the confluence of the rivers To and Min as far as the village of Omu-sang-tsai, crossing a rough mountain pass at an altitude of 10,665 feet. On July 28 he reached the river To at Dong-men-wait (5,600 feet), whence he made excursions into the region to the north until August 23. Dur- ing this time he ascended the valley leading up to the village of O-er and the high mountains to the northwest, camping at 15,300 feet and at various places between 12,500 and 14,100 feet, gathering im- portant collections, chiefly of large mammals and insects. Another excursion was along the river To past Li-fan to Tsa-gu-low, at 7,500 feet. Dr. Graham returned to Chengtu on September 1 after one of the most successful of his many expeditions, with large and important collections. Dr. Hugh M. Smith, located in Bangkok, Siam, continued to for- ward specimens from various parts of that country, gathering large and valuable collections, which have added materially to our repre- sentation of the Siamese fauna. Capt. Robert A. Bartlett during the Norcross-Bartlett expedition made extensive gatherings of marine invertebrates from Baffin Land northward to Fury and Hecla Straits. The party departed from New York early in June and returned October 10, 1933. Dr. S. F. Hildebrand’s investigations of the fisheries of Missis- sippi and of Puerto Rico under the auspices of the United States Bureau of Fisheries in cooperation with the State of Mississippi and the insular government of Puerto Rico, respectively, brought to the Museum many important specimens of invertebrates. Dr. Alan Mozley, awarded the Walter Rathbone Bacon traveling scholarship under the Smithsonian Institution for the study of the land and fresh-water molluscan fauna of Siberia, in the summer of 1933 arrived in Omsk before the melting of the snow and was well received by his friends at the experiment station and the Agricul- tural Institute. Carrying a letter from the president of the Acad- emy of Sciences at Leningrad to the president of the Omsk Soviet, he was able to obtain a wagon and two horses and with a young OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 6 medical student set out for the region to the south of Omsk for a journey of about 3 months through the forest steppe. After the return to Omsk he proceeded via Tomsk to the Baikal region and again established headquarters at the limnological station of Pro- fessor Vereshagin. After an attempt to visit the northern part of Mongolia he returned to Leningrad via Irkutsk. As during the previous year he spent the winter in Edinburgh working on his collections. In the division of fishes, Dr. G. S. Myers, assistant curator, and K. D. Reid, aid, continued at their own expense field work in Virginia collecting fishes with the view to preparing a report on the fishes of the State. The trips made this season included one to the tributaries of the Yadkin-Peedee system in southern Vir- ginia, resulting in the addition of several species to the State fauna. Mr. Reid also collected in the Youghiogheny River in western Maryland. Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of mollusks, as in previous years, made a short visit to the Tortugas to inspect the Cerzon colonies planted there. He took some moving pictures under sea, as well as of the tern colonies that are leaving Bird Key to settle on Garden, Bush, and Long Keys. Aside from a few days given by E. C. Leonard to collecting lower cryptogams in the mountains of Virginia, North Carolina, Ten- nessee, and West Virginia, the only botanical field work during the year was that of J. R. Swallen, assistant botanist in the section of grasses, under the United States Department of Agriculture, who visited Brazil to search for grasses. This work, begun in No- vember and still in progress at the end of the year, was yielding excellent results, both in extending the range of many species and in the discovery of new ones. The period of exploration will cover about 9 months. During the summer of 1933, Prof. C. E. Burt, of Southwestern College, Winfield, Kans., was engaged in field work with the spe- cial purpose of collecting a series of turtles in the southern part of the Appalachian system, from which region the Museum needed more material to settle certain taxonomic and zoogeographical prob- lems. The results were eminently successful, many turtles, other reptiles, and amphibians being obtained. This work was financed by the Smithsonian Institution. ASSISTANCE BY CIVIL WORKS ADMINISTRATION Mention is made at several places in the reports of the head curators of C. W. A. employees who were assigned to various divi- sions of the Museum. Employment under the C. W. A. in the 8 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 Smithsonian Institution was obtained to assist in clearing up an arrearage of work concerned with cataloging and numbering collec- tions, copying permanent records, preparing specimens, and other similar tasks that the regular staff could not undertake because of their regular duties. It included also painting, carpenter, electrical, and allied work where the regular force of mechanics was not avail- able because of employment in other ways. In no instance was this assistance utilized to make up for furloughed or dismissed employees or to carry on current duties properly the task of the permanent staff. The work was in all cases constructive and of permanent value and did not include such routine maintenance as cleaning and char work. The assistance received came entirely through assignment of per- sonnel through the District of Columbia C. W. A. office; no transfer of funds was made to the Smithsonian Institution for this purpose. All pay rolls were handled through the District office, and all sup- plies necessary for the work were purchased by our regular funds provided for that purpose. | Under this arrangement 208 persons were employed from De- cember 15, 1933, to February 20, 1934. The group included 29 mechanics and 179 designated under the general term of white-col- lar workers. The persons employed were assigned to definite duties and placed under direct supervision of those in charge of the offices concerned. Records were kept of all work, and pay rolls were made out in the office of the associate director. The work accomplished is summarized as follows: In our libraries 3,969 shelves of books were checked, and when necessary individual books were labeled and repaired. In various collections, 99,805 specimens were listed, numbered, or arranged; 4,786 specimens of various kinds were repaired; 542 storage cases were checked and the contents cataloged; and 146 drawings were made for scientific use and study. Catalog cards and labels were prepared or filed to the number of 192,370. Certain other types of accomplishment can be expressed best in total number of hours of labor devoted to them. These included 10,403 man-hours occupied in sorting, labeling, and checking specimens, 1,506 man-hours devoted to translating scien- tific manuscripts and publications into English, 5,865 man-hours occupied in typing of records, notes, and manuscripts, and 6,000 man- hours in miscellaneous office and laboratory work on our collections. Mechanical work covered 3,267 man-hours in repairs to buildings and equipment, 2,760 man-hours in painting buildings and equipment, and 1,728 man-hours in repairs and replacements in the heating and lighting plant. As our staff has been for a long time undermanned, the C. W. A. work came at an opportune time, and not only provided employment OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 9g but aided materially in placing our records and collections in proper condition for preservation and study. The assistance, though occu- pying many of the regular staff in supervision, was entirely worth while and much appreciated. —_— EDUCATIONAL WORK - —— The National Museum during the year continued its customary activities in educational lines. Our exhibition halls display great series of objects so arranged as to demonstrate facts of many kinds, on subjects ranging from the tools and dress of primitive man to complicated modern machinery, examples of the life of strange lands, of the elements that compose the earth, fossil animals and plants of former ages, and many other things. Descriptive labels accom- pany all these, and there is constant change to keep them properly arranged and up to date. The whole serves as a compendium of reference to the student or as an attractive display to the one of more casual interest, from which all may profit according to their desires. In addition, the Museum is constantly active in the dissemina- tion of knowledge in response to many hundreds of inquiries that come by mail or from visitors. Classes from the city schools are guided through the halls, and groups of students from a distance are given similar service. Although the Museum does not main- tain regular series of lectures, members of the staff are called on regularly to address meetings. Students throughout the country interested in definite problems come to work with our collections and libraries, and frequently workers from abroad are engaged in investigations here that sometimes continue for months. From this it may be seen how widely varied is the range of our educational activities and how extensive the field that they cover. ~ VISITORS Visitors to the various Museum buildings totaled 1,463,375 during the year, an increase of 36,017 over the previous year. The average attendance for week days was 3,849 and for Sundays 5,122. All the buildings were closed on Christmas and New Year’s Days. The number of visitors to the Smithsonian Building on week days was 188,519 and on Sundays 438,664; to the Arts and Industries Build- ing 500,519 on week days and 121,571 on Sundays; to the Natural History Building 406,854 on week days and 101,094 on Sundays. Table 1 shows the number of visitors during each month for the past year. 10 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 TABLE 1.—Visztors to the Museum buildings during the year ended June 30, 1934 Museum buildings Year and month omuieeee Total iacacteles Uae Aircraft 1933 4 A hy ee ae la etl es 26, 069 | 63,258 | 50, 813 151, 679 AU GUS G 3 ie Laie is met eee ie 28, 534 | 68, 801 54, 506 164, 743 Septembers.=")2_<2.51)2_ 20% 23,628 | 56,106 | 44, 406 133, 946 October. - 4 te a 18 549 | 46,514 | 41,978 112, 760 November 22250. ae 11, 393 27,416 | 30, 995 73, 916 Decembers:27. leek. es 10, 621 26,104 | 24, 473 65, 858 1934 JAMUATY 22.0 OOS 10, 547 25, 979 27, 957 69, 133 Rebruary hate oie eee 8, 080 19, 105 19, 548 50, 603 March (200 sec. eine 13,001 | 36,444 | 30, 656 86, 853 A Drileerous “cee bbd ao eo 38, 122 | 121, 964 84, 260 258, 990 Mayotrs.

During the year the collection was increased by 2,158 volumes, 11,699 parts of volumes, 965 pamphlets, and 20 charts—in all, 14,842 pub- lications. Some of these came by purchase, but most, as usual, by exchanges. The regular new exchanges entered into were 91. By special exchange the library obtained from the Public Library of the District of Columbia 4 important sets, comprising 77 volumes; and by transfer from the Library of Congress 505 publications. Many valuable items were received from members and associates of the scientific staff. The work done by the library staff was unusually large in volume, including as it did the supervision of C. W. A. employees. The staff made 11,731 entries in the periodical file, cataloged 3,111 publica- tions, and added 25,925 cards to the catalogs and shelf lists. They lent to the scientific staff and their assistants 9,972 publications, of which 7,339 were from the Museum collections. Of the loans, 2,553 were borrowed from the Library of Congress and 570 from other libraries. They made 110 loans to other libraries, chiefly in Wash- ington, but including the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadel- phia, Alabama Natural History Society, Carnegie Museum (Pitts- burgh), College of Physicians of Philadelphia, E. I. Du Pont de Nemours Co., Hopkins Marine Station, John Crerar Library, Los OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 11 Angeles Museum, Rice Institute, St. John’s College, Tennessee Ornithological Society, and Johns Hopkins, Minnesota, Ohio State, Princeton, and Western Reserve Universities. The staff assigned 5,310 publications to the sectional libraries. They returned 2,600 to the Library of Congress, and 592 to other libraries. Through cur- tailment of Museum funds it was possible to send only 128 volumes to the bindery. The work of rearranging and listing the contents of the manu- script case was finished, as was that of revising the file of charges at the main loan desk. The cards of the concilium bibliographicum author set, totaling 6,160, were filed to date, and thousands of old cards of the systematic set were sorted and distributed to the sec- tional libraries, with the result that the accumulation of unfiled cards in the library was greatly reduced. The current Wistar Insti- tute cards, numbering 463, were also filed. In the Arts and Industries Building the reorganization of the technological library was continued. A detailed study of the mate- rial on the shelves led to the preparation of a list of titles of serials no longer needed by the Museum or Smithsonian, and the offer of them to other Government libraries where they would be useful. By the close of the year 138,940 volumes of these had been trans- ferred to the Library of Congress and other Government libraries and to the Superintendent of Documents. In this connection, it is pleasant to report that on the second floor of the library steel shelv- ing was substituted for the old wooden cases in the north wing, the lighting was much improved, and an adequate heating system installed. Probably the outstanding event of the year was the appointment, for part of the fall and winter, of 34 C. W. A. library workers, 10 of whom were assigned to the Museum. Among the activities notably advanced by the workers were the following: Sorting by subject and distributing to the curators concerned, for their office files, 33,700 reprints and pamphlets from the west stacks of the Smithsonian Building—a task later finished by a regular member of the Library staff, who thus increased the number of such publications to nearly 50,000; checking sets of publications of learned societies and insti- tutions and preparing 418 want cards for missing parts; cataloging 9,024 pamphlets in the sectional libraries of mammals, mollusks, and invertebrate paleontology and typing 18,048 cards for them; copying shelf lists, correcting old catalog cards, typing subject head- ings—work that in the case of one person alone involved handling 14,444 cards; labeling 4,000 volumes on the shelves; putting hun- dreds of pamphlets into binders and cases, and lettering them appro- priately; and rearranging and putting in order the natural-history collection. 124 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 PUBLICATIONS Except for the Annual Report of the Museum for 1933, which was issued as part 2 of the Annual Report of the Secretary of the Smith- sonian Institution, the output of the editorial office was confined to publications sent to the printer before July 1, 1933, and paid for from 1933 funds. No funds were made available for publishing Museum bulletins and proceedings during the fiscal year 1934. A total of 13 publications appeared during the year; these are listed at the end of this report. | As other work of the editorial office permitted during the year, the editor and his assistant proceeded in the making of the comprehen- sive index to the publications of the National Museum. The work of arranging, alphabetizing, and filing the index cards was aided, for a period of about 8 months, by the full-time services of one C. W. A. worker and the part-time help of another. At the end of the year the indexing of Bulletins 1-21 and Proceedings volumes 1-8, inclu- sive, had been completed. ‘These comprised a total of approximately 87,000 cards (after duplicate entries were combined). The distribution of volumes and separates to lbraries and indi- viduals on the regular mailing lsts aggregated 22,281 copies; while in addition 12,846 copies of publications issued during this and previous years were supplied in response to special requests. During the year 710,438 forms, labels, and other items were printed, and 273 volumes were bound. PHOTOGRAPHIC LABORATORY The photographic laboratory made during the year 2,963 nega- tives, 17,802 prints, 628 lantern slides, 148 enlargements, 4 photo- micrographs, and 1 transparency; developed 40 rolls of film, 40 film packs, and 141 cut films; and dry-mounted 61 prints. This work, representing a shght decrease from that of last year, was required by the Smithsonian proper and the National Museum and by the National Gallery of Art and the Bureau of American Ethnology, whose photographic needs are supplied by the laboratory through a cooperative arrangement. There is a growing demand for facilities for photostatic work and for infrared and ultraviolet photography, but it has not been possible yet to provide these. BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT Repairs and. alterations—Repainting the southwest, east-south, and northeast (boat hall) ranges and the outside metal and wood- work of the 8 towers and 8 pavilions of the Arts and Industries Building, and the north vestibule and stairway of the Smithsonian OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 13 Building; installing new locks on doors throughout the Smithsonian Building; and alterations necessitated by the installation of a new refrigerating plant in the basement of the Smithsonian Building constitute the chief repairs to Museum buildings during the year, other than many of a routine nature. Heat, light, and power.—The heat, light, and power plant, located in the Natural History Building, was in operation for about 8 months of the year. Owing to the unusually severe winter, the consumption of coal was more than for many years. For heat, light, and power production 3,505.3 tons of bituminous coal were purchased at $4.94 aton. Nearly 54 tons more than this was actually consumed. The electric current purchased for the Arts and Industries Build- ing throughout the year and for all the buildings during the summer amounted to 448,320 kilowatt-hours, while the current generated in the Museum plant amounted to 639,585 kilowatt-hours, making 1,087,903 kilowatt-hours used altogether. ‘The current purchased cost $8,030.34, or 1.79 cents a kilowatt-hour, and that generated cost $9,824.74, or 1.54 cents a kilowatt-hour. Notable progress was made in the huge task of installing brass pipe in the water-heating system in the Natural History Building, more than 5,000 feet being finished during the year. Ice production.—The refrigerating machine, for furnishing ice to the Museum buildings, was operated 4,081 hours during the year, producing 428.7 tons of ice at a cost of $664.52, or at the rate of $1.55 a ton (45 cents a ton less than for last year). Fire protection.—In the Arts and Industries Building considerable electric wiring in wooden conduits was replaced by metal cable to eliminate a fire hazard of long standing. Another measure in this direction was to close with plaster block three arch openings in the Arts and Industries Building. There still is much to be done toward fire protection, the east end of the Smithsonian Building being espe- cially bad because of the antiquated electric wiring. This work will continue as available funds permit. The usual periodic inspec- tions of fire alarms, extinguishers, and plugs, and of the sprinkler system in the Aircraft Building, were made. Furmture and fixtures—The furniture added during the year included 39 exhibition cases; 592 pieces of storage, office, and lab- oratory furniture; and 2,623 drawers, boxes, and frames of various kinds. Equipment condemned consisted of 13 exhibition cases and bases, 26 pieces of storage, office, and laboratory furniture, and 7 wooden drawers. An inventory of furniture on hand on June 30, 1934, showed 3,769 exhibition cases and bases, 17,567 pieces of storage, office, laboratory, and other furniture, and 105,678 drawers, boxes, and frames. 91936—34 2 14 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 MEETINGS AND SPECIAL EXHIBITS The use of the auditorium and lecture room in the Natural His- tory Building is offered by the Museum to scientific and educational associations for regular and special meetings, and whenever possi- ble assistance is given in carrying out their programs. During the year 109 such meetings were held in these rooms by a wide variety of organizations and societies, including several other Government agencies. Memorial meetings—Three memorial meetings held during the year commemorated the notable services of members of the staff lost through death: October 9, for WILLIAM DE CHASTIGNIER RAVENEL, retired head of the depart- ment of arts and industries, who died on October 8, 1933, at the age of 74. May 23, for EDWARD WILLIAM NELSON, honorary associate in zoology and for- mer chief of the Biological Survey, who died on May 19, 1934, at the age of 79. May 29, for JOHN MERTON ALDRICH, curator of the division of insects and world famous dipterist, who died on May 27, 1934, at the age of 68. Special exhibits—The foyer of the Natural History Building was occupied almost continuously during the year for a series of 15 special exhibits sponsored by various educational agencies, as follows: July 6 to August 4, 1933: Exhibit of photographs of California trees, sponsored by the Save the Redwoods League. October 2-30, 19383: Exhibit of photographs of taxidermic work in Europe and America, sponsored by the American Association of Museums. October 12-14, 1933: Exhibition of specimen roses entered in contest of Potomae Rose Society. October 30 to November 12, 1933: Exhibition of Negro art, including oil paint- ings, drawings, water colors, wood sculptures, and photographs. November 15 to December 10, 1933: Exhibit of photographs representing beauty in trees, brought together in competition from the various States by the American Forestry Association.

C. Roberts collection. January 2 to February 2, 1984: Exhibit of Second Empire daguerreotypes from the collection of Mme. Therese Bonney, of New York and Paris. On January 4 was held an informal opening of this exhibit, with Ambassador André de Laboulaye of France as the guest of honor. February 28 to April 2, 1984: The HE. A. Osborne collection of Guatemalan ethnology, sponsored by the Center of Inter-American Studies of George Washington University. On March 15 a reception was held in connection with this exhibit, at which addresses were made by the Guatemalan min- ister, Dr. Don Adrian Recinos, and others. April 5-26, 19384: Exhibition of Historic American Buildings Survey. ‘This was opened formally on April 6 by a reception given under the auspices of the Department of the Interior and the American Institute of Architects. April 28 to March 5, 1984: Third annual exhibit of the Association of Federal Architects, the following Federal agencies being represented in the work: OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 15 Department of War; Bureau of Yards and Docks, Department of the Navy; Veterans’ Administration; Supervising Architect’s Office, Treasury Department. May 6-13, 1934: Exhibition of Public Works of Art projects, from the region including Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia.

May 14-30, 1934: Exhibit of water-color paintings of battleships, cruisers, and other naval scenes by Lt. Arthur Beaumont, United States Naval Reserve. June 18 to July 5, 1984: Exhibit of the art work produced by pupils of the public schools of the District of Columbia. CHANGES IN ORGANIZATION AND STAFF Changes in the organization of the Museum were not extensive and came chiefly as the result of a general consolidation of Govern- ment activities in the disbursing of funds and the heating of buildings. The establishment in the Treasury Department of a central dis- bursing agency for all Government establishments, and the conse- quent abolishment of the disbursing office of the Smithsonian Insti- tution at the close of business on January 31, 1934, necessitated a reorganization of the accounting and disbursing work of the Mu- seum. Nicholas W. Dorsey, who since April 1, 1924, had been dis- bursing agent of the Museum, as of other Government bureaus under the Smithsonian, was on February 1 given the title of accountant and auditor, and Thomas F. Clark, who had been deputy disbursing agent since 1924, was made assistant accountant and auditor. All disbursing work was transferred to the new division of disbursement of the Treasury Department on February 1, 1934, salary payments from that date being made by check instead of by cash. The completion this year of the first units of the central heating plant, which has long been contemplated, resulted in the abandon- ment of the Museum’s high-pressure heating boilers at the close of the 1933-34 heating season. The Museum will purchase heat. here- after from the central heating plant, instead of producing it itself. ~The changed method of heating necessitated the abolishment on June 30, 1934, of six permanent as well as of several seasonal posi- tions in the power plant. With possibly one exception, the occu- pants of these positions will be cared for elsewhere in the Govern- ment service. The establishment in the Museum of one additional scientific position early in the year makes a net loss of five on the permanent force. The Museum scientific staff changed but little during the year. Advantage was taken of the opportunity afforded by the discontinu- ance of the Regional Bureau of the International Catalogue of Scien- tific Literature to strengthen the Museum’s staff by the appointment on July 1, 1933, of Leonard C. Gunnell, as an assistant librarian in 16 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 the Museum with the object of making readily available to the scien- tific staff two extensive groups of technical source material. The first project is the preparation of a bibliography of technical articles by scientists of the Institution in outside publications and the second concerns the cataloging and classifying of a large collection of unpublished manuscripts based in part on the national collections but prepared mostly by outside scientists. In the department of biology, William B. Marshall, assistant curator of the division of mollusks, was retired at his own request on April 80, 1934, Harald A. Rehder, senior scientific aid, succeed- ing him as assistant curator on June 1. Mr. Marshall’s association with the Museum was continued by an honorary appointment on May 1 as associate in zoology. Likewise, Dr. Theodore S. Palmer, who had long been connected with the scientific work of the Gov- ernment, was given honorary appointment in the Museum as asso- ciate in zoology on August 1, 1938, when he was retired from active work with the United States Bureau of Biological Survey. The operation of the Civil Service Retirement Act took 16 em- ployees from active service with the Museum, 8 for age, 7 for disa- bility, and 1 by optional retirement, as follows: William B. Marshall, assistant curator, after 32 years’ service; Mrs. Nida M. Browne, preparator, with 15 years’ service; John F. Brazerol, Isador 8. Dyer, and Joseph G. Adzema, senior mechanics, with 27, 22, and 9 years, respectively; Samuel McDowell, black- smith, 17 years; August F. Broacker, Alexander M. Cole, James W. Cornell, and Charles A. Sparks, guards, with 23, 15, 15, and 4 years, respectively (Mr. Sparks had 35 years’ service, the last 4 in the Museum); Mrs. Ella Coleman, Mrs. Roxie A. Burrell, Mrs. Fannie J. Smith, and Mrs. Margaret Hall, charwomen, with 24, 23, 21, and 5 years’ service, respectively; Scott Ambler and John F. Pinkney, laborers, with 24 and 16 years, respectively. The Museum lost through death 2 honorary and 6 active workers, as follows: Edward Johnson Brown, honorary collaborator in the division of birds, on February 14, long connected, with the scientific work of the Museum; Edward William Nelson, honorary associate in zoology, on May 19, for many years associated with the Government’s scientific work; John Merton Aldrich, associate curator of the divi- sion of insects, on May 27 (21 years in Government service, last 15 in Museum) ; Ruth Sherwood, stenographer and typist in the depart- ment of arts and industries, on September 13 (15 years in Govern- ment service, 13 in Museum); George L. Weber, guard, on Febru- ary 22 (16 years’ service); Mrs. Mary M. Lorance, charwoman, on January 28 (5 years); Mrs. Cassie Whiting, charwoman, on Febru- ary 15 (10 years); and James P. Bourke, Sr., elevator conductor, on October 21 (15 years). DETAILED REPORTS ON THE COLLECTIONS DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY (WALTER HouaH, Head Curator) The work of the department of anthropology has proceeded favor- ably during the year when the general curtailment of the Museum’s activities is considered. Work in the field included cooperation in exploring an ancient Indian village site at Marksville, La., under funds provided by Emergency Relief Administration of Louisiana. At the close of the year field researches were in progress on Kodiak Island, Alaska, and in the area to be flooded by the Bonneville Dam in the Columbia River Valley. — The department gained many valuable specimens from the archeo- logical work carried on under the Bureau of American Ethnology through funds provided by the Civil Works Administration for em- ployment of labor in California, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. ACCESSIONS FOR THE YEAR The division of ethnology recorded 53 accessions and 918 speci- mens, including a pictographic painting on muslin, the work of a Sioux Indian; 3 weavings from the Zuni; 2 twined baskets from the Tlingit; 2 large earthenware jars from the Rio Grande and Acoma; an assortment of ethnological material from the Rosebud Agency, S. Dak., collected by Col. E. A. Koerper; and specimens of silver work of the Navaho. A novel form of art expression executed by bitings on birch bark by the Chippewa of northern Minnesota was presented by Miss Frances Densmore. From outside the United States came collections originating in Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Europe, among which may be mentioned the following: The C. C. Roberts collection from the Gold Coast, the Ivory Coast, the Cameroons, and Nigeria, including splendid examples of wood carving from the Ivory Coast, the Sobo of Nigeria, the Ashanti of the French West African Gold Coast, and the British Cameroons; carved wooden drums from the Haussa and Owarri of Nigeria, and upright and two-headed wooden drums from Calabar and the Kibbi group of the Nigerian Ashanti; splendid metal work as well as musical instruments from the Haussa of Ni- geria; earthenware ink pots, stone bracelets, and dye pots from the Fulani; a dancing gourd from the Egba; iron gongs from the Ibibio; basketry armpit rattles from the Owarri of Nigeria; a Kroo dancing 17 18 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 belt from Liberia, Egun straw hats; Yoruba cloth; and goldsmith’s weights from the Ashanti. One of the most interesting objects in this collection is an open-work mesh weave Juju suit of the Egba. The Roberts collection supplements previous material procured by him from the West African coast, from the Kingdom of Dahomey to Angola. Important collections transferred from the Bureau of American Ethnology include Sumu and Miskito ethnologica from the Hon- duran and Nicaraguan coasts gathered by Dr. William D. Strong while a member of the Haskell-Smithsonian expedition. This is a valuable addition to the limited material previously received from that area. There was also added through the same bureau a collec- tion of stone implements used in the daily life of Australian and Papuan tribes, originally assembled by Joel H. DuBose, who also presented to the Museum another small collection of stone imple- ments from Australia. A unique woven blanket of early Mexican provenience was received as a gift from Miss Clara Abercrombie. Woven into the design are pictographic symbols representing signatures of towns similar to those depicted on ancient Mexican codices. The lettered margin of the blanket dedicates the weaving to a Mexican apparently of the higher class. Under the category of Americana came a miscellaneous lot of early weavings and weaving implements, pottery, metal work, embroidery, and jewelry. Two interesting terra cotta busts of Negro slaves once living near Savannah, Ga., were presented by Miss Flora F. Don- nelly, who modeled them. Miscellaneous material from excavations made some years ago at Jamestown, Va., came as a gift from Martin L. Ehrmann. The 123 specimens included tell in a small way the story of the early Jamestown settlers and supply material for the study of various steps in the development of American glass, pottery, and metal work. Kuropean objects include a peasant’s pipe and tobacco pouch from Finland, a Dutch stoneware jug, a German meerschaum pipe and a miniature jointed wooden doll, the smallest on record, and a thimble case from Switzerland. A miscellaneous lot of objects of fine art, including jewelry, watches, silver, paintings on enamel, miniatures in ivory, and Meissen ware, from various European coun- tries, principally Italy, France, England, and Germany, was pre- sented by Miss Mary Maxwell. Intrinsically this collection is one of the most valuable received in recent years. It also includes excel- lent specimens of Hindu, Burmese, Chinese, and Japanese art, enamel, filigree silver, repoussé gold, and other media. A Japanese embroidered screen presented by Mrs. Alexius Mc- Glannan was collected by her father, the late Homer Lycurgus Law, DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 19 United States Navy. The bequests by Mrs. Charles A. Coolidge and Mrs. Virginia L. Schoonmaker include bronzes, porcelains, ivories, and other objects of high art from Chinese and Japanese sources. Intrinsically and artistically these collections rank with the best received in recent years from China and Japan. A tall metal spirit stand shod with repoussé copper and brass and studded with turquois insets, made by an inspired metal craftsman in Tibet, was received as a gift from Dr. Leo A. Lally. A remarkable gift from the originator of the culture pearl indus- try of Japan, K. Mikimoto, is a miniature replica of Mount Vernon executed entirely in worked pieces of mother-of-pearl and studded and embellished with thousands of graduated pearls. This model has been estimated to have a value of $500,000, by far the most precious specimen received during the year. It was exhibited at the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago during the 1933 season. The label for the exhibit reads as follows: This replica of Mount Vernon was presented to the Smithsonian Institution by the Japanese Ambassador Katsuji Debuchi, on behalf of K. Mikimoto, the originator of the cultured pearl industry in Japan. Prepared for exhibit in the National Museum under the supervision of J. Seo. This model of Mount Vernon rests on a base of lacquered wood and consists of 12,000 pieces of mother-of-pearl, 5,184 pearls in the mansion itself, 6,500 on the lawn, and 185 in the flag. The division of archeology received 38 accessions totaling 8,337 specimens, contrasting with 64 accessions covering 2,737 specimens for last year. The following are deemed worthy of special notice: 3,950 artifacts of ivory, bone, stone, and wood collected for the Museum by James A. Ford and Moreau B. Chambers during 1931 and 1932 in Alaska; 1,081 flint objects from Paleolithic deposits in 3 caves in the Wady al-Mughara (Valley of the Caves), 12 miles south of Haifa, Pales- tine, collected jointly by the 1932-83 expedition of the American School of Prehistoric Research and the British School of Archeology in Jerusalem and deposited by the Archaeological Society of Wash- ington; 1,771 specimens of stone and pottery collected for the Bureau of American Ethnology by Frank M. Setzler from 3 mounds and 2 village sites within the Marksville Works, near Marksville, Avoyelles Parish, La., and received as a transfer from the Bureau; 647 arti- facts of pottery, shell, bone, and stone from Basket Maker IIT and Pueblo, I, II, and III house sites 314 miles south of Allantown, east- ern Arizona, collected by Dr. F. H. H. Roberts, Jr., for the Bureau of American Ethnology in 1931-32 and transferred by the Bureau; part of an aboriginal Indian dugout canoe exhumed on Cumberland Island, Ga., and received as a gift from the Lucy Coleman Carnegie estate; a prehistoric Pueblo necklace of shale beads averaging 32 to 20 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 the inch, from Coconino County, Ariz., presented by Hoffman Birney; 5 earthenware vessels from Chimu ruins near Trujillo, Peru, pre- sented by Mrs. H. A. Jaynes; 75 specimens from Alitak and Olga Bay, Alaska, collected and presented by Mr. and Mrs. Henry B. Looff, of Oak Harbor, Wash. The division of physical anthropology received 20 accessions with 206 specimens, compared with the previous year’s 18 accessions of 658 specimens. The following are the more important: 65 lots of bones from the secondary Indian burials at Port Tobacco, Md., collected by Judge William J. Graham with the aid of Assistant Curator Stewart; 49 skulls from St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, col- lected and presented by the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines; 37 skulls and skeletons from the Sacramento Valley, Calif., presented by Robert F. Heizer and the Sacramento Junior College; 16 skulls from the same region purchased and donated by Dr. Ales Hrdlitka; and cast of Locus E Stnanthropus skull and intracranial cavity. Near the close of the year large collections of skeletal material were received from C. W. A. projects in Florida and California, but this has not yet been prepared for accessioning. In the section of art textiles a number of cases exhibiting glass, Jewelry, ceramic, and other articles of luxury of older periods were added. Mrs. Dorothy Elias presented nine collars, doilies, and hand- kerchiefs, and Miss Josephine Burket a “ baby Irish lace ” collar. The section of ceramics received 128 specimens comprising 5 acces- sions, 4 of them gifts. Notable are 55 pieces of antique porcelain given by Mrs. Francis T. Redwood and 69 pieces of ceramics by the Misses Holliedt. A fine piece of wedgwood basalt of about 1765 was lent by Miss Louisa Green. The collections of the Misses Long, displayed principally in art textiles and history, were, on the death of Edith Long, made a bequest. INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS In the division of ethnology a number of minor exhibits were rearranged in anticipation of a general review of the public display next year. ‘Two special exhibits were arranged in the foyer, the first being a comprehensive display of the arts and crafts of the peoples of West Africa, made possible by the unusually complete © collections assembled and presented to the Museum by Theodore Roosevelt, Ellen I. Burk, C. C. Roberts, Heli Chatelain, 8. P. Verner, W. P. Tisdel, George W. Ellis, Jr., and others. The second exhibit included weavings and miscellaneous ethnological objects from Guatemala, composed of material assembled by Mrs. E. A. Osborne, DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY Desh of San Salvador, and brought to the Museum through the coopera- tion of the center of inter-American studies of the George Washing- ton University. Most of the country population of Guatemala is still Indian, and weaving on hand looms and embroidered designs are extremely stylized and of great antiquity. Progress has been made in the care and preservation of study collections in storage, through their arrangement in dust-proof quar- ter- and half-unit cases. Most of the paintings of George Catlin and of the W. E. Safford collection were photographed, a project still under way at the close of the year, and it is planned to have all the paintings in the division photographed for record. A comprehensive index and catalog of paintings in the division was made during the year by Miss Vendla M. Hendrickson. Other indexes and catalogs made include the beginning of a tribal and geographical index of the division’s collections by three C. W. A. assistants. A catalog of Museum publications on anthropology in the section library also was prepared by Miss Hendrickson. In the division of archeology the division staff, assisted for 3 months by 8 C. W. A. workers, made considerable progress in its program of reexamining and reclassifying the collections from the Western Hemisphere. All the archeological material from Florida, North Carolina, and South Carolina was reexamined and the corre- sponding records revised or completed. ‘Thereafter new exhibits were prepared for these three States and the remaining material separated into geographic units for greater convenience in future studies, | The work of the C. W. A. employees may be summarized as fol- lows: 1,950 man-hours devoted to checking and numbering speci- mens; 3,100 catalog cards typed, several hundred revised, and about 50 sheets of tabulated matter prepared; 2 articles, comprising 314 typewritten pages, in French with notations in Spanish and Portu- guese, translated. A plaster replica of the famous clay bison, carved by Upper Pale- olithic sculptors on the floor of the Cave of Tuc d’Audoubert, Ariege, France, received as a gift from the Old World archeology fund, was installed in a specially prepared case. Presented by the Carnegie Institution of Washington, a model of pyramid E-VII sub at Uax- actun, northern Guatemala, the original of which is remarkable for its great antiquity, its beautiful proportions, and its surprising state of preservation, was placed on exhibition in the hall of Latin Ameri- can antiquities. To help illustrate the cultural relationship between our historic tribes and those of the pre-Conquest, or “ prehistoric ”, period there was completed during the year and placed on exhibit a 22 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 miniature model of an Acolapissa village of northern Mississippi. Representing the last important settlement of the Acolapissa, this model includes the temple and chief’s house as drawn and described by A. Debatz, April 15, 1732, and, in addition, several characteristic dwellings with their storerooms. Men and women are shown en- gaged in various pursuits, and children are represented at play. A portion of an aboriginal dugout canoe, exhumed on Cumber- land Island, Ga, by Assistant Curator F. M. Setzler and received as a gift from the Lucy Coleman Carnegie estate, after prolonged treatment and partial restoration was placed on exhibition in the American hall. The series of mummy cases and lids, a gift of the Egyptian Gov- ernment in 1893, following minor repairs and treatments to insure permanent preservation, was reinstalled in the hall of Old World archeology. Here, alsc, new exhibits were prepared from the fol- lowing material: (1) A collection of pottery vessels and bone and stone artifacts exhumed at the site of the ancient city of Troy by Dr. Henry Schliemann between 1870 and 1882 and received as a gift from Mrs. Schliemann; (2) a representative series of Phoenician glassware; (3) a collection of earthenware vessels from various ruins in Cyprus presented by Miss Olive Risley Seward; (4) pottery and bronze ornaments from ruins in Armenia. Much labor was devoted to material accessioned many years ago but set aside without adequate attention at the time of receipt. Several exceptional carved wooden specimens recovered early in 1934 from the muck underlying a mound in Florida required special consideration, as they were received saturated with water, the largest was worm-eaten and otherwise damaged; and all were heavily coated with paraffin in the field to prevent warping in transit. A series of experiments designed to insure preservation of these noteworthy artifacts was performed in the department’s laboratory. The division of physical anthropology added to its exhibits five face masks of Comanche Indians procured in the field by M. S. Goldstein and prepared in the Museum laboratories by W. H. Egberts. With the aid of two C. W. A. workers the assistant curator transferred all the Huntington collection data to standard catalog cards and numbered all the femora that could be identified. The anthropological laboratory, under W. H. Egberts, chief pre- parator, modeled and prepared a costume figure of Mrs. Herbert Hoover and readjusted the costume figure of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. Ancient Indian wood carvings from bogs in Florida were put through a process to prevent losing their form by drying. Numerous casts, models, and repair jobs were completed for anthropology and other branches. DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 2s In the section of musical instruments an expert violin maker, Nicola Reale, was employed under C. W. A. and E. W. A. funds in the repair and restoration of stringed instruments, an assistance that has long been needed. INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH In the division of ethnology the curator, H. W. Krieger, con- tinued investigations of Arawak, Ciboney, and Carib artifacts col- lected by him and others in Cuba, Haiti, and elsewhere in the Greater Antilles. A subject of special study was the distribution of methods of stone working, particularly of stone chipping in the hidden de- posits of Cuba, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic; also the distribu- tion of painted designs on earthenware from Puerto Rico. Another study had to do with the diffusion of Amazonian culture traits within the Antillean area. Current interest prompted a study of the Museum’s resources in primitive money, and as a result a paper was written on the subject of early American money, and a representative collection of prim- itive money from various peoples was sent to the Century of Prog- ress Exposition. The division continued its study of technical meth- ods pertaining to the care and preservation of museum specimens, and notes on the subject were brought up to date and published. The Museum’s resources in several fields—notably Navaho and Pueblo belt weavings, Indian headdresses, Japanese swords, rabbit- skin and buffalo robes, and Indian pictographic designs—received special investigation. The head curator continued his studies of the rationale of the domestication of animals and the development of the fundamentals of education among uncivilized man. The assistant curator, H. B. Collins, Jr., continued his examinations of archeological collections obtained by him and others, notably J. A. Ford and M. B. Chambers, in western and northern Alaska. Ejight- een lots of material were received for identification; material brought in person for immediate identification remains unrecorded. In the division of archeology the unusual increase in routine activ- ities throughout the year prevented the curator from resuming his report on the Pueblo Bonito explorations of the National Geo- graphic Society. Likewise Assistant Curator Setzler was forced to defer researches previously undertaken. Soon after his return from field work in Louisiana, Mr. Setzler was assigned to assist the Institution’s liaison officer with the Civil Works Administration in directing the archeological projects in the Southeast and in Cali- fornia. He prepared, however, two short articles, which he read before gatherings of archeologists, and studied, classified, and cat- aloged 1,771 specimens obtained at Marksville, La. During the 24 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1934 year 88 lots of archeological material were received for identifica- tion and report and subsequently returned to the owners. At the beginning of the year, Dr. Hrdlicka, curator of physical anthropology, was engaged in completing for publication his work on the “Anthropology of the Pueblos.” During the rest of the year most of his time was devoted to an exhaustive study of the human femur, the results in part already being published. In addition he prepared for publication his measurements and observations on the Kuskokwim Eskimos. The assistant curator, Dr. T. D. Stewart, finished his testing of the machine for measuring skull capacity and prepared for publication a general report on these measurements. During the winter he supervised two C. W. A. workers engaged in cataloging the Huntington femora, and thereafter worked up his observations on primate hair arrangement. Four lots of material were received through official channels for identification and report. DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS In the division of ethnology only one gift collection was sent out during the year. This consisted of 16 Eskimo and Pueblo ethno- logical specimens sent to the St. Ignatius School at Hicksville, Long Island, N. Y. ; During the year 8 lots of archeological material (102 specimens) were sent out in exchange for other specimens or in return for the privilege of making casts desired in the national collections, as fol- lows: 98 projectile points to Dr. Stuart C.
