REPORT ON THE PROGRESS AND CONDITION OF
THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1937

By ALEXANDER WETMORE

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR
APPROPRIATIONS

FuUNDs FoR THE maintenance and operation of the United States
National Museum for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1937, were pro-
vided by appropriations carried in the Executive and Independent
Offices Act approved March 19, 1936. Allotments for the National
Museum are summarized as follows:

Preservation of collections___.--— = $604, 580

Printing and binding (allotment to Museum)-___--~__--- 25, 000

Total available: for yearu-2o 282) oe 763, 970:

The total amount available for the Museum for 19387 was $3,228
more than for 1936, but owing to the fact that $25,000 had been
utilized the previous year for the purchase of the airplane Winnie
Mae, there was actually available, in 1937, $28,228 more than for
1936, as explained in the following statement of changes in available
funds for the year 1937:

A much-needed increase in the appropriation for printing and
binding made available to the Museum for 1987 a total of $9,508 more
than for 1936. Actually somewhat more was expended, for of the
Deficiency Appropriation of $7,500 for binding received in 1986, a
portion was expended during 1937. As a result of these increases it
was possible to reduce the arrearage of binding as well as to publish
a number of manuscripts that had been ready for printing for several

| 1

2 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

years. Many additional manuscripts are ready for publication whet.
funds permit. The present allotment is less than half the amount
that should be available annually for printing and binding to care
for our regular needs, to present adequately the results of our scien-
tific investigations and make new information available for public
use, and to maintain the library in proper condition.

Five positions were added to the personnel roll during the year—
two guards, one stenographer, and two senior mechanics. While the
guard force is still below normal strength, the addition of two posi-
tions will make it possible to repay to guards a larger portion of
the compensatory time they earn by overtime Sunday and holiday
service. The stenographic position was a welcome addition to the
division of fishes, where there has been no clerical help in the past
except as temporary assistance was employed. Still more such posi-
tions are needed if clerical help is to be available to each scientific
division to care for the files, the constantly mounting volume of cor-
respondence, and other routine work that must be performed now by
the professional men themselves. The mechanical force was increased
by the addition of a carpenter and a cabinetmaker. The care of
storage and exhibition equipment for the growing collections, as well
as the increasing deterioration in the building, necessitates occasional
increases in this important group of employees.

The increases in funds for maintenance have made possible the
purchase of much needed miscellaneous equipment and supplies,
principally lumber and paint.

Although there are many requirements for additional funds in con-
nection with the Museum’s work, the most urgent need at the present
time is that relating to promotions. Another year has passed with-
out the salary promotions earned by many members of the staff. The
fact that the Museum is not on the same basis as other Government
departments with regard to promotions for efficient service is result-
ing in constantly growing dissatisfaction among Museum personnel.
In the lower grades turnovers are excessive, and many still on the
rolls are seeking transfer to other departments where the outlook
for promotion is brighter. Unless there is a change it will not be
long before it will be difficult to obtain as well as to hold the more
efficient personnel, since few can be expected to ignore better oppor-
tunities elsewhere.

The further problem of obtaining additional personnel can be met
only through increased funds. More workers are urgently needed
in all grades, including the curatorial force of both professional and
subprofessional status, the clerical staff, and the mechanical, watch,
and labor rolls. The work of cleaning the buildings also has in-
creased within recent years, but this can be met best by extending

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 3

the hours of labor for the char force from 8 to 5 hours daily, as
soon as funds are provided.

There are also definite needs for necessary replacements in supplies
and equipment and for the many repairs required as the Museum
buildings grow in age. Funds now available cannot care for these
repairs, many of which cannot be postponed much longer, nor can
they provide for the elimination of certain prevailing fire hazards.

COLLECTIONS

The many specimens added to the Museum collections during the
year present the variety and value found annually in our new
accessions. The bulk of the material as usual came through scien-
tific expeditions sponsored and in large part financed by the Smith-
sonian Institution and through gifts from the many friends and
collaborators of our organization. The largest number of speci-
mens come always in the field of biology, because of the wide variety
of our collections in this group, but numbers are not necessarily a
criterion of values, and the smaller lists of the division of history
and the department of arts and industries, for example, include
many objects of rare and unusual worth.

New material was received in 1,800 separate accessions, with a
total of 361,951 specimens distributed among the five departments,
as follows: Anthropology, 1,790; biology, 292,250; geology, 62,757 ;
arts and industries, 3,180; and history, 1,974.

For examination and report 1,393 lots of specimens were received,
including a vast variety of objects. A part was returned by request
to the senders, a part was consumed and destroyed during the process
of examination and analysis, and a part was incorporated as gifts
in the Museum collections.

Gifts of duplicates to schools and other institutions numbered
5,006 specimens, including a great variety of objects. Exchanges of
duplicate materials with other institutions and individuals totaled
22.403 specimens, and one specimen was transferred to another gov-
ernmental agency. Loans to workers outside of Washington totaled
50,092 specimens.

4 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

EXPLORATIONS AND FIELD WORK

The scientific explorations of the year were varied and important
in the results obtained. The various investigations made were
financed mainly by grants from the income of the invested funds
of the Smithsonian Institution or by the assistance of friends of
the Institution.

In October, Henry B. Collins, Jr., assistant curator of ethnology,
returned from Wales, Alaska, where he conducted archeological
investigations under the joint auspices of the National Geographic
Society and the Smithsonian Institution. Accompanying him as
assistants were James A. Ford and Harrison Prindle. Previous
work on St. Lawrence Island and at Point Barrow had revealed
the existence of an ancient but already highly developed Eskimo
culture, with intermediate stages between it and the modern Eskimo.
One objective of the expedition was a search for pre-Eskimo re-
mains in the vicinity of Bering Strait, where, according to all indi-
cations, man may first have entered the American Continent. Defi-
nite evidence on the sequence of prehistoric Eskimo cultures was
obtained, but nowhere were observed traces of human occupancy
antedating that of the Eskimo.

In this same month Herbert W. Krieger, curator of ethnology, left
for Nassau, New Providence Island, to conduct archeological inves-
tigations in the Bahaman Archipelago under a grant from the
Smithsonian Institution. Kitchen middens and burials on Long
Island, Inagua, and New Providence Island were excavated. The
archeological data uncovered point to a close cultural contact be-
tween the Lucayan Indians of the Bahamas and the Arawak of His-
paniola and also to the tribal migration of the Lucayans at a com-
paratively recent date from the island of Hispaniola. The kitchen
middens excavated were comparatively shallow, and the objects re-
covered revealed no striking dissimilarity to those of the Arawak
middens of Fort Liberté Bay and of the Monte Cristi-Yaque River
Basin of the north coast of Hispaniola. <A striking cultural migra-
tion was observed in the many polished stone implements recov-
ered from Bahaman middens identical with those of northern His-
paniola and fashioned from stone native to that island but foreign
to the Bahamas. Mr. Krieger returned in February 1937.

Dr. Waldo R. Wedel, assistant curator of archeology, devoted
occasional week ends to supervision of excavations at an Indian
village site near Seneca, Montgomery County, Md. On May 15,
1937, he left to conduct for the Smithsonian Institution a general
archeological survey of northeastern Kansas and to excavate part of
an old Kansa site near Kansas City. He was still in the field as the
year closed,

OPERATIONS FOR THE YHAR 5

Dr. AleS Hrdlicka, curator of physical anthropology, after con-
cluding excavation of the site on Kodiak Island during June 1936,
spent July and August investigating sites on the Aleutian Islands.
In this work he was assisted by four students—Sydney Connor,
George Corner, Alan G. May, and M. F. M. Osborne. The United
States Coast Guard again facilitated the work by furnishing the
necessary transportation, without which it would have been impos-
sible to have reached Kagamil Island, where an important burial
cave was located. In May 1937 Dr. Hrdlicka returned to the Aleu-
tian Islands to continue these explorations.

Dr. T. Dale Stewart, assistant curator of physical anthropology,
assisted private investigators along the Potomac River by visiting
sites that have produced numerous Indian burials, especially the
large ossuaries excavated by Mrs. A. L. L. Ferguson and Judge
William J. Graham. Together with Dr. Wedel he excavated two
ossuaries at Bolling Field, Anacostia, D. C.

In the department of biology the year has been especially fruitful
through field work carried on by the staff.

G. S. Miller, Jr., curator of mammals, assisted by Charles M.
Wheeler, of Hatchville, Mass., spent 3 months (Jan. 23 to Apr. 26)
in Panama making collections of general interest to the Museum.
With Corozal, Canal Zone, as a base, work was carried on over most
of the Zone from the region of Gatun and Barro Colorado to the
Pacific coast, as well as over a distance of about 50 miles out from
the Zone in each direction along the line of the national highway of
Panama. Special side trips were made to the Pearl Islands, to
Taboga Island, and to the Indio River. Thanks to the cordial co-
operation of the civil and military authorities of the Canal Zone,
of the Institute for Research in Tropical America at Barro Colo-
rado, and of the Gorgas Memorial Laboratory in Panama City, the
work of the expedition went forward under the best possible condi-
tions. The material brought home includes approximately 450
mammals, 150 birds, 150 reptiles and amphibians, and 400 plants, as
well as many fishes, shells, marine invertebrates, Indian artifacts,
and food shells (samplings from middens on Taboga and Taboguilla
Islands and in the Canal Zone).

H. G. Deignan continued collecting in Siam and sent in three large
shipments of birds and other material. His work now being ter-
minated, he is expected to return to Washington in the fall. Dr.
Alexander Wetmore collected birds in the highlands of Guatemala
in October and November 1936 and brought back valuable series of
desirable specimens. W. M. Perrygo and Carleton C. Lingebach
collected extensively in West Virginia in the autumn of 1936, and in
Tennessee in the spring and early in the summer of 1937. The work
in Tennessee was carried on through the W. L. Abbott Fund.

6 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

Dr. David C. Graham continued his work in western China, for-
warding collections mainly of birds and insects.

Dr. Leonard P. Schultz, assistant curator of fishes, and E. D. Reid,
aide, made several successful collecting excursions into Virginia as
part of a survey of the fresh-water fish fauna of that State.

Dr. E. A. Chapin, curator of insects, sailed for Jamaica by way of
Habana, Cuba, on January 21, 1937. In the 24 hours available at
Habana, with the aid of an official car and chauffeur placed at his
disposal by the Secretary of Agriculture of the Cuban Government,
he visited the home of Alex. Bierig, a specialist on Staphylinidae,
the Institute of Habana to examine the Scarabaeidae in the Gund-
lach collection, the University of Habana to examine the collection of
insects there under the care of Dr. C. G. Aguayo, and the Agricul-
tural experiment station at Santiago de Las Vegas to discuss matters
pertaining to the identification of insects for the station. In Jamaica
work was carried on in conjunction with Dr. and Mrs. R. E. Black-
welder. During the first 214 weeks, Dr. Chapin had headquarters
at Half Way Tree, from which place the entire eastern one-third of
the island is available by car. The collections of the Agricultural
Department, situated at Hope Gardens, were also readily accessible.
On February 11 he moved headquarters to the west half of the
island and spent a few days at Derry House and 10 days at Kens-
worth House. These residences were placed at the disposal of the
party by the owners, who did everything possible to facilitate the
work. During the last week Dr. Chapin and party returned to Half
Way Tree to do more collecting at one or two choice localities at the
east end of the island. They left Jamaica for New York on March
6. Much assistance was given by interested parties on the island,
notably by the Bovells at Caymanas Sugar Estate and by Mr. Neth-
ersole, who offered collecting facilities at his residence. The col-
lections made form a very valuable addition to the West Indian
series. Several families of beetles hitherto unknown from the island
were taken, and many species recognized as new to sclence were
secured. Though a previous collector on the island had recorded
that Dryopidae appeared to be nonexistent there, over a thousand
specimens of this family, representing seven species, were taken. A
new and very interesting coccinellid of the genus Psyllobora was
found feeding on a mold growing upon the leaves of beach-grape
(Coccoloba uvifera), and at least two undescribed species of Scara-
baeidae have been recognized in the material collected.

Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, curator of marine invertebrates, was
naturalist on the Smithsonian-Hartford expedition to the West
Indies, traveling on the square-rigged ship Joseph Conrad, through
invitation of G. Huntington Hartford, owner, and accompanied by
Robert G. Lunz, of the Charleston Museum, as assistant. The party

OPERATIONS FOR THE YHAR a

began work in the field at Nassau in the Bahamas on March 15, and
during the next 2 months traveled south as far as Barbados. The
cruise in all was most successful, covering about 4,500 miles and
making 19 stops for collecting on 15 different islands. The expedi-
tion was occupied essentially with marine material, mainly inverte-
brates but including also algae and two adult porpoises, in one of
which was found an embryo. The excellent equipment in form of
diving helmets and other gear, and the continued friendly interest
of Mr. Hartford throughout the cruise, insured the complete success
of the work. In addition to the enthusiasm always aroused by inter-
esting and varied collections, the naturalists had the delight of
traveling on one of the last square-riggers afloat. More than 4,000
specimens of marine invertebrates were secured, chiefly Crustacea but
including also sponges, coelenterates, annelids, and lower chordates.
Fishes, echinoderms, mollusks, a few fossils, and minerals were also
obtained.

Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of mollusks, as member of the Smith-
sonian-Roebling expedition to the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of
Mexico, left Washington on March 21 to join Donald Roebling’s
yacht, the Jorano. The party assembled at Clearwater, Fla., and
from there crossed to Cuba, where work was carried on from Habana
around the western end of the island and along the south coast as
far as Guantanamo. The shallow draft of the yacht and her rapid
speed were especially favorable for obtaining extensive marine col-
lections over a wide area previously poorly represented in the
Museum’s collections. The material is now under study and is being
rapidly identified.

Sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution, Dr. R. 8. Bassler, head
curator of the department of geology, spent the first 8 months of the
fiscal year in geological studies of several classic European areas and
in researches on echinoderms and other fossils in the collections of
museums in England, Germany, and the Netherlands. The main
results of his trip were the completion of studies on several families
of Paleozoic corals, the study of types of Paleozoic sponges, the
preparation of about 600 casts of Upper Paleozoic crinoid types, col-
lections of Tertiary fossils from the Paris, Vienna, and London
Basins and the Devonian area of Germany and Czechoslovakia, and
arrangements with a number of institutions for exchanges.

Under the auspices of the Roebling Fund, E. P. Henderson, assist-
ant curator of physical and chemical geology, spent several months
on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, accompanied by Arthur Mont-
gomery, Edwin Over, and C. B. Ferguson. The object of this expe-
dition was to collect specimens of epidote and other minerals for
which this locality is famous, and in this the party was highly suc-

8 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

cessful. Hundreds of fine crystals of epidote and thousands of gar-
nets were collected, as well as many miscellaneous minerals. This
material has been made the basis for investigations of the mineralogy
of the region.

Mr. Henderson, under a grant from the Smithsonian, left early in
May 1987 to attend the Seventeenth International Geological Con-
gress at Moscow, U.S. S. R., visiting en route many of the important
Kuropean museums and collections, and making contacts and ex-
change relationships that promise exceptionally satisfactory results.

From July 14 to September 11, 1936, Dr. G. A. Cooper, assistant
curator of stratigraphic paleontology, with Preston E. Cloud as field
assistant, visited Middle Devonian localities in the Middle West.
The object of the trip was to collect fossils and study the relation-
ships of the Middle Devonian rocks. In Indiana contact was made
with Guy Campbell, a student of Devonian rocks. The party was
guided in Missouri by Dr. D. K. Greger, of Washington University,
St. Louis; by Dr. M. A. Stainbrook, in Iowa; and in Michigan by
geologists from the University of Michigan. Dr. Cooper and Mr.
Cloud spent June 1937 in further field work on the Middle Devonian
rocks of Michigan, New York, and Ontario, making a final review of
field relations and collections of fossils. Further account of this trip
is deferred until next year.

Dr. E. O. Ulrich, associate in paleontology, accompanied by R. D.
Mesler, of the United States Geological Survey, spent May in field
work in Arkansas and nearby States collecting fossils and securing
information to elucidate certain problems in Lower Ordovician
stratigraphy. The extensive collections from certain little-known
formations that resulted will form the basis of future publications.

C. W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate paleontology, accompanied by
Dr. Remington Kellogg, made two short trips to the Chesapeake Bay
region to collect cetacean specimens previously located by Dr. W. F.
Foshag. This work resulted in adding several porpoise skulls and
other specimens to the collection from this region.

Dr. C. L. Gazin, assistant curator of vertebrate paleontology, with
funds provided by the Smithsonian Institution, conducted an expedi-
tion in the San Juan Basin of New Mexico during the summer sea-
son of 1936 to explore the Eocene Wasatch and the Puerco and Tor-
rejon formations of the Paleocene for fossil mammal remains. Be-
sides Dr. Gazin, the party included G. F. Sternberg and Harold
Shepherd, and they were successful in securing a representation of
the important faunas from these classic early Tertiary horizons.
The collections included about 500 determinable specimens from the
Paleocene alone. Later in the season activities were transferred to
Arizona, where explorations were conducted in the Pliocene forma-

tions of the Gila and San Pedro Valleys.

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 9

Dr. R. Lee Collins, of Bryn Mawr, was given a small grant by the
Smithsonian Institution for work in the Miocene deposits along
Chesapeake Bay. He made numerous short collecting trips and
obtained a number of cetacean specimens, parts of a sirenian, and
two bird bones.

ASSISTANCE FROM WORK RELIEF AGENCIES

At the beginning of the year, persons assigned from the Works
Progress Administration of the District of Columbia to work at
the Museum numbered 66. This number fluctuated during the year
owing to transfers and new assignments, but it increased slowly until
at the close of the year 88 were so engaged. Man-hours for the
period July 1, 1936, to June 30, 1937, totaled 87,915. For the Fed-
eral art project the man-hours totaled 1,504, making the grand
total of man-hours for both projects 89,419.

As in the preceding year this assistance related to preserving
and cataloging collections in the Museum and to general work in
the library. Specific tasks included the following:

Checking, labeling, and repairing library material.

Preparing drawings and photographs.

Typing notes and records.

Miscellaneous work on specimens, including arranging, cataloging,
checking, labeling, and numbering.

Model making and repair.

Preparing and mounting specimens.

Labeling and drafting.

Translating.

Work on plaster casts.

During the year considerable progress was made in clearing up
arrearages in work that had been accumulating over a long period
owing to the inadequacy of our regular staff. The project pro-
ceeded smoothly, not only as a result of the efficient organization
now developed but also because many of the workers had gained
experience from the previous year. The District of Columbia Works
Progress Administration office continued its excellent cooperation
in the selection and assignment of new workers.

At the close of the year 88 workers were on duty from the Works
Progress Administration and 2 from the Federal art project.

EDUCATIONAL WORK

The National Museum during the year continued its customary
actitivities 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

10 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

lands, of the elements that compose the earth, fossil animals and
plants of former ages, and many other things. Descriptive labels
accompany all these, and there is constant change to keep them
properly arranged and up to date. The whole serves as a com-
pendium of reference to the student or as an attractive display to
the one of more casual interest, from which all may profit accord-
ing to their desires.

In addition, the Museum is constantly active in the dissemination
of knowledge in response to many hundreds of inquiries that come
by mail or from visitors. Classes from the city schools are guided
through the halls, and groups of students from a distance are given
similar service. Although the Museum does not maintain regular
series of lectures, members of the staff are called on frequently 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

For the first time, the number of visitors to the various Museum
buildings exceeded the 2,000,000 mark, the total for the year being
2,288,532, which is 314,859 more than the previous year. The 351,219
visitors during August 1936 is the largest number ever recorded for
a single month.

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 11

The average attendance for weekdays was 6,148 and for Sundays
7,241. The number of visitors to the Smithsonian Building on
weekdays totaled 300,666 and on Sundays 63,391; to the Arts and
Industries Building 866,096 on weekdays and 184,292 on Sundays;
and to the Aircraft Building 171,480 on weekdays (closed on Sun-
days). ‘Table 1 shows the number of visitors during each month of
the year.

In connection with the weekly radio program, “The World is
Yours”, arranged cooperatively by the Smithsonian Institution and
the Office of Education of the Department of the Interior, a register
was placed at the south entrance of the Natural History Building
with the request that those interested in the program sign. This
was maintained for a total of 98 days during parts of February and
March and from April 20 to June 15. During this time 8,505 persons
registered, approximately 5 percent of the total visitors for the
period. A tabulation of the signatures reveals the interesting fact
that they included visitors from each one of the 48 States of the
Union as well as Alaska, the Canal Zone, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and
the Philippine Islands. Foreign countries represented include Aus-
tralia, Canada, Dominica, England, France, Germany, Honduras,
India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Palestine, Russia, South Af-
rica, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Venezuela. The result is a
most gratifying indication of the wide field of attraction that the
National Museum through its public exhibitions affords the many
persons who come to the Capital City of the United States, not only
from our own country but also from the entire world.

LIBRARY

The library of the National Museum, numbering 92,532 volumes
and 114,610 pamphlets, is one of the main branches of the Smith-
sonian library. It has 2 major collections, those on natural history
and technology, and 35 smaller sections pertaining to the special in-
terests of the curators and their assistants. The accessions to the
library during the year were 2,486 volumes, 10,364 parts of volumes,
and 951 pamphlets, or 13,801 publications—an increase of 350 over
the year before. Of these, 2,458 were obtained from duplicate sets
at the Smithsonian Institution and the Library of Congress or by
special exchange. New exchanges arranged for numbered 121.

The accessions included a number of especially large sendings from
learned societies and institutions in Great Britain, Germany, and
Belgium. Among them, too, were many gifts from members and
friends of the Smithsonian staff. Special mention should be made
of the gift of 4,422 publications, chiefly botanical in character, from
the widow of Dr. Frederick V. Coville, for many years honorary

12 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

curator of the National Herbarium and a wise and generous counselor
to the Smithsonian Institution.

The library staff recorded 10,895 periodicals, cataloged 3,033 vol-
umes and pamphlets, and added 18,642 cards to the catalogs and shelf
lists. They sent to the bindery 1,846 volumes, most of which were
prepared during the year. To the sectional libraries they assigned
for filing 4,345 publications and loaned 10,409, of which they bor-
rowed 1,942 from the Library of Congress and 386 elsewhere. The
number of volumes they returned to the Library of Congress was
2,112 and to other hbraries 414. They made 196 interlibrary loans,
chiefly to Government offices and to universities and other research
institutions. They sorted 4,000 or more old and incoming documents
not pertinent to the work of the Museum and returned them to the
issuing bureaus. As no new Concilium Bibliographicum cards were
received, they had time to complete the revision, begun the previous
year, of the file of the author set in the main library, thus increasing
materially the usefulness of this important aid. They also brought
the Wistar Institute file up to date by adding 480 new cards. They
continued, with gratifying results, the scanning of nontechnical jour-
nals for articles of possible interest to the scientists. Finally, they
supervised the various tasks of 15 Works Progress Administration
workers.

The sectional libraries continued to number 35, as follows:

Administration Invertebrate paleontology
Administrative assistant’s office Mammals

Agricultural history Marine invertebrates
Anthropology Medicine

Archeology Minerals

Biology Mollusks

Birds Organic chemistry
Botany Paleobotany
Echinoderms Photography

Editor’s office Physical anthropology
Engineering Property clerk’s office
Ethnology Reptiles and amphibians
Fishes Superintendent’s office
Foods Taxidermy

Geology Textiles

Graphie arts Vertebrate paleontology
History Wood technology
Insects

At the close of the fiscal year the staff assisted in the temporary
transfer of 7,000 or more volumes of the technological library from
the east gallery of the third floor in the Arts and Industries Building
to the adjoining storage ranges of the division of history, in prepar-
ation for the installation of new steel stacks, which it is expected
will be received and set up during the summer. The increased shelf

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 13

room provided by these stacks will make it possible to complete the
reorganization of the library collections in the Old Museum that was
undertaken several years ago.

Two definite needs should be mentioned: (1) More money for
binding, for, notwithstanding the generous deficiency appropriation
available for this purpose during the past year, the Museum still has
thousands of unbound volumes and is receiving new ones daily;
(2) more money for purchasing publications that are needed by the
Museum staff but that cannot be obtained by exchange.

The year brought two changes in the staff. Miss Lucile Torrey,
senior stenographer, was made library assistant in the National Gal-
lery of Art (now the National Collection of Fine Arts), and Mrs.
George C. Rodgers, who had formerly held the stenographic posi-
tion, was reinstated in it. Carroll M. Martin, assistant messenger,
was transferred to the Social Security Board, and the vacancy was
filled by the transfer of Joseph Salat, Jr., from the Government
Printing Office.

PUBLICATIONS AND PRINTING

There was available $22,000 for the fiscal year 1936-87 for the
printing of the National Museum Annual Report, Bulletins, and
Proceedings. This was an increase of $17,950 over the amount avail-
able for publications the previous year, and a corresponding increase
in volume of publication was refiected. Thirty-three publications
were issued—the Annual Report, 1 volume of Proceedings completed,
2 Bulletins, and 29 separate Proceedings papers. These are listed at
the end of this report.

The distribution of volumes and separates to libraries and indi-
viduals on the regular mailing lists aggregated 58,419 copies, while
in addition 10,403 copies of publications issued during this and
previous years were supplied in response to special requests. The
mailing lists were carefully revised during the year to avoid loss
in distribution.

During the year 765,056 forms, labels, and other items were printed,
and 1,952 books were bound.

Indexing.—As opportunity allowed, the editor and his assistant
continued work on the comprehensive index of all Museum publica-
tions, and the task was completed through Bulletin 47 (entire) and
Proceedings volume 17. The editor also prepared the index for
volume 83 of the Proceedings and for Bulletin 167, “Life His-
tories of North American Birds of Prey: Part 1, Falconiformes.”

Museum print shop.—An important step in the advance of Museum
efficiency was the thorough overhauling and equipping of the
Museum’s Branch Printing Office early in the year. Through the

21353—37-——2

14 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

generous cooperation of the Public Printer, A. E. Giegengack, a
reconditioned linotype machine, fully equipped with all tools and
accessories, was installed by the Government Printing Office, together
with an adequate number of new type faces suitable for Museum
label work.

The Branch Printing Office is an important unit in the efficient
functioning of the Museum, for in it are produced all the labels that
explain the exhibits to visitors, nearly all the record labels attached
to the hundreds of thousands of specimens in the study collections,
and a large part of the forms used in the routine accessioning and
other work of the curators. The new typesetting and printing
equipment and the excellent new type faces enable the shop to turn
out a better quality of printing in much less time than formerly,
with the result that for the first time in many years the labeling and
job-printing work of the Museum is practically up to date. For
making possible this forward step the Museum is deeply grateful to
all the officials of the Government Printing Office who assisted in
the installation of the equipment and especially to Mr. Giegengack
for his personal interest and cooperation.

PHOTOGRAPHIC LABORATORY

The photographic laboratory during the year made 3,888 negatives
(including 72 photomicrographic studies), 22,158 prints, 657 lantern
slides, 266 enlargements, and 5 transparencies; developed 74 rolls, 65
film packs, and 42 cut films; mounted 140 prints; and opaqued 9
negatives. This work includes, in addition to that done for the
Smithsonian Institution proper and the National Museum, photo-
graphic needs supplied the Bureau of American Ethnology and the
National Collection of Fine Arts through a cooperative arrangement.
The year was a record one in amount of work done by the laboratory,
especially in numbers of prints and negatives made.

Since color-print processes are becoming stabilized, attention is
being turned to the production of negatives for color photography.
The laboratory is now equipped with dupacks and tripacks as well as
one-shot color cameras to meet the Museum’s needs in this compara-
tively recent photographic development.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT

Repairs and alterations.—Repairs to Museum buildings and equip-
ment during the year included the following, in addition to those of a
routine nature:

Repainting offices of assistant secretary, head curator of anthro-
pology, and property clerk and the rooms of the divisions of insects
and textiles.

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 15

Painting exterior metal window frames of the Natural History
Building and tin roofs of the Arts and Industries Building, and
repairing and repainting exterior window and door frames and walls
of the Smithsonian Building.

Extensive repairs, rewiring, and reconditioning in the taxidermist
shop.

Completion of installation of new electric-wiring system in the east
end of Smithsonian Building, begun last year, so that the consider-
able fire hazard of the old system has been entirely eliminated.

Heat, light, and power.——F¥or heating the group of Museum build-
ings 58,427,000 pounds of steam, furnished by the Government central
heating plant, were used during the year, 4,400,000 pounds less than
the previous year. The electric current used, 1,348,900 kilowatt-
hours, was a little more than last year.

Ice production.—The refrigerating machine for manufacturing ice
for the Museum buildings was operated 3,980 hours during the year,
producing 414.7 tons of ice at the rate of $2.02 a ton.

Fire protection—tThe greatest advance made during the year in
eliminating fire hazards was the completion of the rewiring of the
east end of the Smithsonian Building. The system as now installed
complies in a general way with the National Electrical Code and is
thought to be as safe as it can be made in a building of this character.
Further fireproofing measures for the east end of the Smithsonian
Building, including remodeling of the mail room, are in prospect.

Pursuant to an appropriation made by Congress for the purpose,
a new 8-inch water main is to be run from Constitution Avenue to
the Natural History Building and new hose and other equipment
provided that will greatly facilitate fire protection.

All the fire-protection apparatus was given its periodic testing and
inspection during the year.

Furniture and fiatures——The furniture added during the year in-
cluded 16 exhibition cases; 594 pieces of storage, office, and laboratory
furniture; and 2,026 drawers. Equipment condemned and disposed
of consisted of 33 exhibition cases and bases; 91 pieces of storage,
office, and laboratory furniture; and 100 drawers and frames. An
inventory of furniture on hand on June 30, 1937, showed 3,726 exhi-
bition cases; 18,646 pieces of storage, office, and laboratory furniture;
and 110,503 drawers, boxes, and frames of various kinds.

MEETINGS AND SPECIAL EXHIBITS

Educational, scientific, and welfare organizations are granted the
use of the auditorium and lecture room in the Natural History Build-
ing for regular and special meetings, and whenever possible the
Museum assists in carrying out their programs. During the year 112

16 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

such meetings were held, including the following conferences and con-
ventions: Third World Power Conference and Second Congress on
Large Dams, in September; the Vertebrate Section of the Paleonto-
logical Society of America, in December; the American Society of
Photogrammetry, in January; and the American Society of Mam-
malogists concurrently with the American Society of Ichthyologists
and Herpetologists, in May. Noteworthy also were lectures by Dr.
Ales Hrdli¢ka on “Anthropological Field Work in Alaska”; M. W.
Stirling on “By Airplane to Pigmyland”; Dr. Samuel A. Mitchell on
“Discoveries from Eclipse Expeditions”; Dr. F. A. Vening-Meinesz
on “Gravity on the Atlantic Ocean”; and Dr. Arthur A. Allen on
“American Ornithology, Past and Present.”

Special exhibits—The foyer and adjacent space of the Natural
History Building were used almost continuously during the year for
a series of 16 special exhibits conducted under the auspices of various
educational, scientific, and governmental agencies, as follows:

July 1 to August 10, 1986: Exhibition of “The Index of American Design”,
assembled by the Federal art project, Works Progress Administration.

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 17
CHANGES IN ORGANIZATION AND STAFF

There was no major change in the administrative organization
of the United States National Museum during the year, and the
changes in the scientific staff were few. The designation of the car-
penter shop was changed in April 1937 to cabinet shop to indicate
better its functions, and steps were taken for the appointment of an
assistant foreman of the shop to be directly charged with its build-
ing-repair activities.

Through death the Museum lost during the year three employees
from its active roll: William H. Vanneman, principal guard, on
August 20, 1936, after 39 years of service; Frank M. Cheeks, laborer,
on January 3, 1937, after 27 years of service; and William C. Mc-
Kinnon, guard, on February 18, 1937, after 13 years of service.
From its list of honorary workers, the Museum lost by death on
January 9, 1937, Dr. Frederick Vernon Coville, honorary curator
of plants since March 28, 1893, associated with the work of the divi-
sion of plants for many years, and one of those deeply interested
always in furthering our botanical work.

Kight persons were retired for age or disability, as follows—
Through age: Frank H. Cole, assistant mechanical superintendent in
charge of the carpenter shop, on February 28, 1937, with over 39
years of service; William F. Wicks, guard, on May 31, 1937, with
10 years of service; Minor R. Stonnell, tinner’s helper, on June 30,
1937, with nearly 27 years of service; Mrs. Hanorah Downey, at-
tendant, on October 31, 1936, with nearly 25 years of service; and
Mrs. Elizabeth Merritt, charwoman, on November 30, 1936, with
nearly 22 years of service. Through disability: William Henry
Goldsmith, foreman of laborers, on April 30, 1937, with 41 years
of service (Mr. Goldsmith died on May 4, 1937, 4 days after his
retirement); Mrs. Elizabeth E. Dorsey, forewoman of charwomen,
on June 15, 1937; and Mrs. Gertrude Green, charwoman, on May 6,
1937.

Dr. George S. Myers resigned as assistant curator of fishes on
September 15, 1936, to accept appointment at Stanford University.
Dr. Leonard P. Schultz, of the University of Washington, was ap-
pointed to succeed Dr. Myers on December 31, 1986. Dr. Waldo R.
Wedel was appointed assistant curator of archeology on August
15, 1986. The designation of Dr. William R. Maxon as head of
the division of plants (the National Herbarium) was changed from
associate curator to curator on February 1, 1937. Mrs. Agnes Chase,
senior botanist in the United States Bureau of Plant Industry, long
associated with the late Dr. A. S. Hitchcock, was given honorary
appointment on February 15, 1937, as custodian of the section of
grasses in the Museum.

18 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

Other additions to and changes on the staff during the year in-
cluded the appointments of Henry Kaskowitz as junior scientific aide
in the division of vertebrate paleontology on August 1, 1936, and
of Andreas J. Andrews as scientific aide in the department of anthro-
pology on May 14, 1937; the reallocation of Mrs. Bertha T. Car-
withen to senior clerk (assistant personnel officer) on February 16,
1937; the appointment of Owen F. Croggon, senior mechanic (senior
cabinetmaker), on July 1, 1986, to fill a new position included in the
appropriations for the year; the advancement of John H. Chance to
assistant engineer on September 19, 1986; of Ernest Desantis from
guard to principal guard (sergeant of watch) on November 1, 1936;
and of John J. Queeney from guard to foreman of laborers on
June 19, 1937.

On January 1, 1937, Norman H. Boss, chief preparator in verte-
brate paleontology, returned to duty from a temporary detail to the
Texas Centennial Exposition at Dallas, and on June 16, 1937, he was
detailed as exhibit supervisor for the Smithsonian at the Greater
Texas and Pan American Exposition at Dallas.

The British Government extended invitation to the Government
of the United States to participate in a whaling conference to con-
vene in London on May 24, 1937. Dr. Remington Kellogg, assistant
curator of mammals, was one of the three delegates to represent the
United States at this conference.

Under Executive orders prescribing regulations governing annual
leave and sick leave for Government employees, a revised method of
keeping time of employees was established in conformity with usage
in other Government departments, as recommended by the United
States Civil Service Commission. This was inaugurated on Jan-
uary 1, 1937.

DETAILED REPORTS ON THE COLLECTIONS
DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY
(FRANK M. SETzierR, Acting Head Curator)

During the past fiscal year the department of anthropology was
fortunate in having three major archeological expeditions in the
field. The curator of physical anthropology during July and Au-
gust 1986 made a reconnaissance and directed excavations at several
sites on the Aleutian Islands. During May and June 1937 he again
resumed his investigations on this interesting chain of islands. The
curator of ethnology continued his archeological studies in the West
Indies, where from October to February his efforts were concentrated
in the Bahaman Archipelago. The assistant curator of ethnology
directed the National Geographic Society-Smithsonian Institution
archeological project at Wales, Alaska, during July, August, and
September. The assistant curator of archeology was in the field
during the latter half of May and June 1937, inaugurating an arche-
ological survey in Kansas. He, together with other members of the
staff, also made minor investigations alone. the Potomac River when-
ever time permitted.

The majority of the anthropological specimens were obtained this
year from the above explorations, the number received as gifts
through friends of the organization being less than in previous years.

ACCESSIONS

Archeology. —The division of archeology during the year received
38 accessions, totaling 807 specimens. Four of these (64 specimens)
were allotted to collections from the Old World. The following
are noteworthy: The replica of a stuccoed vase from Uaxactun,
Guatemala, presented by the Carnegie Institution of Washington;
an original Maya vase from Lake Petén, Guatemala, a gift from
Mrs. Frederick Leslie Ransome; one ivory harpoon socket belonging
to the old Bering Sea culture from St. Lawrence Island, Alaska,
donated by Capt. E. D. Jones; 29 Neolithic stone artifacts and
potsherds from three localities in South Africa, presented by Wil-
frid C. Abbott, of Capetown; an earthenware effigy vessel from the
Bull Creek burial site near Columbus, Ga., loaned by Mrs. Isabel
Garrard Patterson; 52 bone and stone artifacts from the Rat Island
group, western Aleutian Islands, Alaska, a gift from Lt. H. B.
Hutchinson, Annapolis, Md.; 21 stone artifacts and potsherds from
a single site in Virginia, presented to the Museum by E. B. Fetty

19

20 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

and J. EK. Butler; one large quartzite blade from a spring hole near
Lost Spring, Black Mountains, Mohave County, Ariz., donated by
H. Jermain Slocum.

Ethnology.—The total number of accessions assigned to ethnology
was 60, comprising 667 specimens. A few of the outstanding are
here listed in the order of their ethnological importance. As in
previous years, several unusual specimens were presented to the divi-
sion through the generosity of Mrs. Charles D. Walcott. These
include a handsomely decorated modern Peyote fan made by the
Kiowa Indians of Anadarko, Okla.; a Navaho shoulder blanket
showing Pueblo influence, dating from the Bosque Redondo period
of 1864; 13 specimens from Hawaii, including poi bowls, a gourd
net, a lava figurine, and woven mats; and two excellent examples of
shrunken heads from the Jivaro Indians of South America. Other
accessions include a number of woven fabrics and basketry from
Madagascar, and chased copper and silver objects from Kashmir,
India, collected by the late Dr. W. L. Abbott about 1890, and pre-
sented by Miss Gertrude Abbott; ethnological material from
Dahomey, Cameroons, and Nigeria, Africa, from C. C. Roberts; sev-
eral ethnological objects (baskets, carved wooden idols, wooden
combs, carved ivory figurines, grass cloth, and the like) from the
vicinity of Shabunda, District de Maniema, Belgian Congo, col-
lected for the Museum by Miss Ellen I. Burk. Miss Gertrude H.
Merrill donated a series comprising storage basket, earthenware
water jar, comb of buffalo bone, and hardwood snuff bottle, which
she obtained among the Ndau tribe, Portuguese East Africa and
Southern Rhodesia. Six pieces of Tibetan jewelry were given by
Mrs. Kate S. Freeman-Marsh. A large drum in good condition,
earthenware jars, wooden paddle, and a carved wooden seat, collected
among the Lacandones of northern Guatemala by Dr. Miles Rock in
1890, were presented by his daughter, Mrs. Frederick Leslie Ransome.
A costume of a Blackfoot Indian girl, including dress, headband, moc-
casins, belt, and necklace with shell pendant, was presented by Miss
Mary Ellen Carter. A ceremonial beaded belt originally presented
by the Olgonkian Indians of Indiana to George Rogers Clark was
loaned by Miss Mary B. Clark. A dried scalp and a weasel-skin
amulet, together with descriptive data bearing on the history of the
two objects, were presented by John G. Carter.

In the section of ceramics 11 accessions totaling 92 specimens were
received, the most outstanding of which are: Five pieces of Stiegel
glass, consisting of two blue glass pitchers, two clear glass pitchers,
and one blue glass salt (1765-74), from William Edwin Emory
and Mrs. Elizabeth Major Emory; a collection of blown and pressed

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 21

glass consisting of one Stiegel flip glass (1765-74), two Bohemian
wine glasses (1760), and two Sandwich cup plates (1835), donated
by Mrs. Edward V. Clarke; and Sandwich glass (period of 1850),
including a glass bottle made at Amelung factory, Fredericktown,
Md., about 1800, a teapot made at Bennington, Vt., a Staffordshire
fruit bowl, an American clear glass bottle, and a stoneware jar, from
Miss Margaret A. R. Stottlemeyer.

The section of musical instruments contains historically important
objects to illustrate the development of European and American
musical instruments from the sixteenth century. This section
received three accessions totaling 57 specimens in contrast to 215
specimens for the previous year. The most important was a rock-
ing melodeon manufactured by A: Prescott, Concord, N. H., about
1850, presented by Mrs. Frank H. Robinson.

The section of period art and textiles forms a nucleus of what
is hoped will some day be a well-rounded exhibit of period art.
At present it includes one of the best collections in the United
States of hand-woven European brocades, tapestries, laces, and other
European art textiles from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries.
Fourteen accessions amounting to 438 specimens were received this
year, in contrast to 24 specimens for the previous year. The most
noteworthy of the recent gifts are: Two pieces of antique Spanish
crested lace, a gift of Mrs. Kate S. Freeman-Marsh; an early nine-
teenth century Italian silver filigree flower holder carried by Mrs.
Robert Morris at her wedding, presented by Mrs. Margaret M. Gale;
Miss Mary Maxwell’s gift of a Swiss watch that won first prize at
the Paris Exposition in 1900, a sapphire bracelet from Ceylon, and
a gold ring with jade inset presented to her by Li Hung Chang.

Physical anthropology.—Nineteen accessions with a total of 601
specimens were received in the division of physical anthropology,
as compared to 506 specimens for 1935-36. Alaska still continues to
furnish much of the skeletal material, five different accessions com-
ing from this area, totaling 284 specimens. Of these, the largest
single accession is that collected by the curator, Dr. AleS Hrdli¢ka
(226 specimens). This is important because it includes a large num-
ber of desiccated bodies from the Aleutian Islands. Another large
accession (250 specimens) came from Florida. This material was
obtained on the Canaveral Peninsula by Dr. George Woodbury, who
supervised one of the Smithsonian-C. W. A. projects. Coming from.
the east coast, this accession represents an important addition to our
study collections. A third important item in this year’s accessions
is material from Maryland and the District of Columbia (58 speci-
mens), which came from three ossuaries, one located near Cambridge,
Md., and two at Bolling Field, Anacostia, D. C.

22 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

The entire department contributed to the building of a special
exhibit of decorative wrought ironwork from prehistoric times to the
present. It was open to the public from January 4 to February 6,
1937, and its success was due in large part to the specimens lent to
the Museum by Fred S. Gichner and to his special interest.

Archeology.—The exhibits installed in archeology include the
following: A series representing the several prehistoric cultures in
Tennessee; a collection of earthenware, stone, and metal artifacts
from the Bay Islands, Honduras; Basket Maker textiles, cradles,
weapons, ornaments, and foodstuffs, from Utah and Arizona—the
first material from this cultural horizon exhibited in the National
Museum; 12 earthenware bowls illustrating successive periods from
prehistoric times to the fifteenth century A. D., from Pecos Pueblo,
N. Mex.; a series of pottery and bronze artifacts from an Etruscan
tomb near Narce, Italy. In addition, the Costa Rica and Guatemala
exhibits and those from two States were revised.

Cataloging the specimens from Alaska obtained during expeditions
in 1935 was completed early in the fiscal year. Pottery exhumed by
the Smithsonian Institution-Peabody Museum expedition to Hon-
duras in 1936 was cleaned, restored, and otherwise prepared for
cataloging. During the latter part of the year a large number of
broken earthenware vessels, collected in Arizona for the Bureau of
American Ethnology in 1896, were washed, sorted, and mended in
anticipation of future restoration. In these laboratory activities the
regular staff was greatly aided by three students: Miss Virginia Sut-
ton, Robert Ladd, and Richard Woodbury.

Ethnology—Thorough rearrangement of many of the ethnologi-
cal exhibits was completed, and thousands of new labels were in-
stalled. The most important changes were made in the halls and
galleries exhibiting period art and textiles, heating and lighting
specimens, and the important collection of musical instruments. The
collection of coins, precious stones, and musical instruments illus-
trating Biblical history was rearranged. The Gen. Charles Austin
Coolidge collection of cloisonné, brasses, and porcelains was changed
and labeled. The Mrs. Alexius McGlannan exhibit of Chinese and
Japanese minor art and ethnology was improved. Table-case ex-
hibits illustrating the history of the lamp, the torch and candle,
and fire-making devices were removed from the Natural History
Building and installed in the newly arranged hall of heating and
lighting in the Arts and Industries Building. Much of the material
on display in the ceramic gallery of the Arts and Industries Build-
ing, formerly arranged as collected by individuals, was reclassified
to represent in a more detailed way the country of origin and the
type of ware.

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 23

The newly conceived exhibit of heating and lighting apparatus is
housed in the gallery hall of the Arts and Industries Building for-
merly occupied by the collection of musical instruments. It em-
braces two major collections, one assembled by the late Dr. Walter
Hough over a period of 50 years, the other collected by Virgil M.
Hillyer, the late head master of Calvert School, in Baltimore. This
exhibit is intended to illustrate the historical development of fire-
making devices and heating and lighting apparatus from prehistoric
times to the beginning of the modern machine age.

The keyboard instruments on the second-floor rotunda were re-
arranged insofar as space and architectural details permitted. A
Kensington case housing hurdy-gurdies and other elementary key-
board instruments was added to this exhibit.

The Mrs. Henry Kirke Porter collection of laces, embroideries,
and tapestries was removed for cleaning and renovation and re-
installed with the aid of Miss Frances Morris and Mme. Helene
Fouche, of New York City. New labels were prepared and put in
place. The Margaret M. Gale collection was relabeled and was en-
hanced by the addition of the silver filigree flower holder carried
by Mrs. Robert H. Morris at her wedding in 1853.

A temporary exhibit occupying four alcoves of the foyer, illus-
trating early Japanese brocaded, printed, and painted designs, was
arranged through the cooperation of Mrs. Charles D. Walcott, who
collected these rare textiles during her recent visit to Japan.

Two W. P. A. workers devoted their entire time to the cleaning
and recataloging, when necessary, of study collections, which are
now in a greatly improved condition. The tribal and geographical
indexes of specimens assigned to the division were completed last
year, but much time was devoted during the current year by the
division’s clerk-stenographer and a W. P. A. worker to the checking
of unclassified and hitherto uncataloged and unidentified material
and to the checking of distribution invoices.

Physical anthropology.—After the receipt of his Alaskan collection
the curator arranged eight cases of special exhibits. Later these
were reduced to five cases, including two large uprights, which are
still on exhibition in the foyer of the Museum. In addition, several
of the cases containing division exhibits on the third floor were
rearranged.

At the close of the year the foot bones of the Huntington collec-
tion were being numbered. There remain to be accessioned one more
C. W. A. collection from Florida and a large quantity of fragmentary
skeletal material obtained by Mrs. A. L. L. Ferguson and Judge
William J. Graham from ossuaries along the Potomac River. These
require a great deal of preparatory work. John T. McBurney, a

94. REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

medical student from Johns Hopkins Medical School, worked for
2 weeks piecing together the skulls from Mrs. Ferguson’s collection.

Anthropological laboratory.—The work in the laboratory was con-
centrated primarily on the making of casts, restoration of earthen-
ware vessels, and reinstalling lay figures and groups for all the divi-
sions in the department, as well as for other departments of the
Museum. Twelve painted casts were completed from decorated clay
figurines; casts were made of human effigy earthenware pots, a stone
ax, and a turtle-shaped paint vessel. Numerous repairs were made
on various specimens in the collections. The lay figures of the Zufi
and Apache Indian groups required attention after return from the
San Diego Exposition before they were reinstalled; the lay figures
of Two Guns White Calf and a Siouan squaw had to be repaired upon
their return from the Cleveland exposition. Numerous specimens
were restored, among them the replica of an exceptional stucco-cov-
ered vase from Guatemala, a large Brazilian pottery vessel from
the island of Marajo, and two Indian reed fiutes and meal grinders

from Panama.
INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

The curator of anthropology, Frank M. Setzler, completed the first
draft of a report on the excavation of the Peachtree mound and vil-
lage site, a joint publication with Jesse D. Jennings, who directed
the actual excavations of this Smithsonian-C. W. A. archeological
project in North Carolina. The curator’s report on the Marksville,
La., explorations is nearing completion. Considerable time and re-
search were required for building the temporary exhibit of decorative
ironwork; several weeks were devoted to studying wrought-iron ex-
hibits and collections in museums in New York City, Boston, Cam-
bridge, Worcester, and Baltimore. At the same time special studies
were made with regard to general museum procedures concerning
preservation and modern exhibition. A few days were spent at the
Rochester, N. Y., Museum of Arts and Sciences studying archeo-
logical specimens. At the request of the Department of the Interior,
Mr. Setzler again accompanied Hillory A. Tolson, assistant director
of the National Park Service, to Jamestown Island, Va., to consult
with Dr. J. C. Harrington, archeologist in charge, on methods of
cataloging, preservation, and exhibition of specimens and on future
excavation procedures. He also served in an advisory capacity on
other anthropological matters in the Park Service.

Archeology.—The curator of archeology, Neil M. Judd, continued
research on his report of the material culture of Pueblo Bonito, an
archeological site in New Mexico. The assistant curator, Dr. Waldo
R. Wedel, was engaged for 8 months on a study of the artifacts

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 25

gathered in 1933-34 by the Smithsonian-C, W. A. archeological proj-
ect at the old Yokuts village site of Tulamniu near Taft, Calif.

During the year 45 lots of archeological material were received for
examination and report and were subsequently returned to the
owners.

As representative of the Smithsonian Institution on the board of
trustees of the Laboratory of Anthropology, Santa Fe, N. Mex., Mr.
Judd attended the annual meeting of the board in New York on
November 21, 1936, and thereafter devoted 4 days to the study of
archeological collections in the American Museum of Natural His-
tory. Assistant Curator Wedel examined collections of plains Indian
artifacts in various Iowa museums and visited certain archeological
sites in neighboring States,

Ethnology—The curator of ethnology, Herbert W. Krieger,
worked on the archeological collections excavated by him in the
vicinity of Bonneville, Oreg., in 1934 and on similar material col-
lected in eastern Washington in 1926 and 1927. He prepared several
short papers on technological subjects concerning culture diffusion
in the West Indies and in northern South America. The prepara-
tion of reports on ethnological material, on ceramics, glass, silver-
ware, and jewelry, and on many related topics also received the atten-
tion of the members of the staff.

The assistant curator, Henry B. Collins, Jr., completed a final
report on field work conducted by him at Gambell, St. Lawrence
Island, Alaska, in 1930. He also prepared a paper on “Culture
Migrations and Contacts in the Bering Sea Region”, which was read
at the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association
in December and subsequently published. Research along similar
lines resulted in several shorter papers.

The following collections in the division were studied by outside
investigators: Sia and Acoma Pueblo fetishes and religious objects,
Eskimo archeology, Australian ethnology, boomerangs and ele-
mentary flight devices, snowshoes, keyboard musical instruments,
traps of various Indian tribes, and European period lace.

Assistance was given the Index of American Design in its study
of medals, early American textiles, American ceramics and glass,
Indian design, American heating and lighting devices, and musical
instruments; the Bureau of Public Roads in gathering data for use
in dioramas of early travel and transportation; the Bureau of Cus-
toms in examining Japanese and Chinese material for appraisal;
the Office of Indian Affairs in its study of the weaving of the northern
Woodlands tribes and in photographing Plains Indian designs; the
National Park Service in the study of Mexican design and identifica-
tion of slipware pottery and glass; the Social Security Board in

6 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

obtaining data for dioramas showing care of the aged by primitive
peoples; the Post Office Department in the appraisal of antiques
damaged in the mails; and the Department of Justice in the identifi-
cation of stolen antiques.

Forty lots of material were received for examination and identi-
fication.

Physical anthropology.—Studies on the skeletal material in the
division were carried forward by the curator of physical anthropol-
ogy, Dr. Ales Hrdli¢ka, and the assistant curator, Dr. T. Dale
Stewart. Dr. Hrdlicka devoted his attention during this year espe-
cially to studies on the femur, while Dr. Stewart worked upon
Eskimo remains from Labrador and Indian remains from the
Potomac River region. In the interest of his studies on the Labra-
dor Eskimo, Dr. Stewart visited the Field Museum of Natural
History in Chicago and the Peabody Museum at Cambridge, Mass.

Research by outsiders on the collections consisted principally of a
prolonged study of the brain and a study of the bones of the foot
in different races. Assistance in identification of bones was given
the Department of Justice and to private individuals. Seven lots
of material were received for identification. ;

Anthropological laboratory.—Seven plaster busts were modeled
and cast by the chief preparator, William H. Egberts. These busts
were developed from facial masks now on exhibit at San Diego,
Calif., and constitute a study sponsored by the division of physical
anthropology to show the individual and racial variations of selected
American Whites, American Indians, and American Negroes. Six
painted casts were made from a restored human skull excavated
several years ago near Melbourne, Fla. Six painted casts were made
from a skull exhumed along the Potomac River, having a brain
capacity of 2,200 cubic centimeters. In all, 171 separate pieces of
aboriginal earthenware vessels and 4 vessels from the Old World
were restored.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

Archeology.—F ive lots of archeological material (178 specimens)
were sent out in exchange. Eight lots (180 specimens) were for-
warded as gifts to educational institutions, as follows: 3 replicas of
Central and South American antiquities to the Peabody Museum of
Harvard University; 1 cast of a stone adz each to the Milwaukee
Public Museum and the Sheboygan County (Wis.) Museum; 9 stone
artifacts to the El Paso (Tex.) Children’s Museum; an “altar” from
a mound near Anderson, Ohio, to Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. ;
79 chipped artifacts to the Hahnville (La.) High School Museum;
and 86 stone artifacts and replicas to the Recreation Commission

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY D7

of San Francisco. Three lots (524 specimens) on loan from the
Archaeological Society of Washington and from Maj. H. 8. Bryan,
Newark, Ohio, were withdrawn by the lenders. Forty-one speci-
mens were transferred to other divisions, and 12 specimens con-
demned.

Ethnology.—Four specimens were transferred to the divisions of
history and engineering; 23 were received by transfer from the
division of archeology; and 189 were withdrawn (139 from
ethnology proper, 37 from ceramics, and 18 from period art and
textiles). One specimen, an old relief map of Tusayan, was con-
demned and destroyed, and one specimen exchanged. Forty-one
specimens were lent to the United States Commission for display
at the International Exposition in Paris, France.

NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DEPARTMENT

During the year the department received 145 accessions covering
a total of 1,790 specimens, which were assigned as follows: Arche-
ology, 38 accessions (807 specimens) ; ethnology, 60 accessions (667
specimens) ; physical anthropology, 19 accessions (601 specimens) ;
ceramics, 11 accessions (92 specimens) ; musical instruments, 8 acces-
sions (57 specimens) ; and period art and textiles, 14 accessions (43
specimens).

On June 30, 1937, the total number of specimens in the depart-
ment was as follows:

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY
(LEONHARD STEJNEGER, Head Curator)

Two phases of the work of the department of biology received an
impetus during the past year calling for particular attention—the
assistance rendered by Works Progress Administration workers as-
signed to various divisions, which made it possible to clear up con-
siderable arrearages in cataloging, labeling, and other curatorial
routine matters, and the increased facilities for field work, which
have enabled members of the staff to extend their researches into
hitherto insufficiently explored regions. The collecting expeditions
of W. M. Perrygo for vertebrate material from the Appalachian
region, begun last year, were continued. Dr. Alexander Wetmore’s
expedition to Guatemala for the study of the bird fauna and the
collecting of specimens, particularly of some important and rare
species, was very successful. Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., accompanied by
Charles L. Wheeler, studied the tropical biota of the Panama region.
Dr. E. A. Chapin visited Jamaica to collect and study its entomolog-
ical fauna. Dr. Paul Bartsch, on the Smithsonian-Roebling expe-
dition, extended his researches in Cuban waters with splendid re-
sults. And Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, on the Smithsonian-Hartford
expedition, was similarly successful, the expedition visiting 15 of
the West Indian islands and making extensive collections, particu-
larly of marine invertebrates.

As the collections generally have had a steady growth both quan-
titatively and qualitatively, the year must be regarded as eminently.
satisfactory.

Through death the Museum lost during the year two outstanding
members of the scientific staff.

Dr. Frederick Vernon Coville, honorary curator of the National
Herbarium since 1893, principal botanist of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and acting director of the National Arbore-
tum, died on January 9, 1937. His loss to the Museum and to
botanical science has been eloquently set forth in Science (Mar. 19,
1937) by Dr. W. R. Maxon, who said: “His influence over a long
period of years was uncommonly helpful and inspiring to younger
men within the department, and it was effective also in a far wider
scientific and educational field, where it will be sorely missed.”

Dr. William Harding Longley, for many years an honorary col-
laborator of the division of marine invertebrates, died on March 10,
1937. Through his directorship of the Tortugas laboratory of the
Carnegie Institution the fauna of the Dry Tortugas is well repre-

28

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 29

sented in the collections of the National Museum, and to the divi-
sion of marine invertebrates, in particular, he proved himself a most
helpful and inspiring counselor.

ACCESSIONS

Accessions for the year amounted to 1,807, with a total of 292,250
specimens, indicating a healthy, normal growth of the collections.
The scientific value of the material is considerably higher than usual,
owing to a great extent to the fact that it was gathered in selected
localities by the specialists directly interested. The deposit of type
material by outside workers is also a marked feature, and deserves
particular commendation.

Mammals.—The large increase that came to this division was due
in large part to the collection of 450 specimens in Panama by Gerrit
S. Miller, Jr., and Charles L. Wheeler. In this connection there
should be mentioned 50 mammals presented by the Gorgas Memorial
Laboratory through Dr. Herbert C. Clark. W.M. Perrygo, assisted
by Carleton C. Lingebach, collected 348 small mammals in West Vir-
ginia. H. G. Deignan forwarded 59 mammals from Siam. Much
important material was obtained in exchange from the Museo
Nacional in Madrid and the Field Museum of Natural History.
Ninety-two mammals from Japan, Formosa, and the Philippine
Islands that fill gaps in the collection were acquired by purchase.
Among the many individual donations of important material may
be mentioned four whale embryos from Alaska from the American
Pacific Whaling Co., Seattle. The Zoological Society of San Diego,
Calif., presented the skeleton of an elephant seal. A full-grown
African elephant, Jumbo II, was received from the Cole Brothers-
Clyde Beatty Circus, and will be mounted for exhibition. The gift
by Miss Lucie Leigh Bowie of an antler of the eastern elk from Mary-
land deserves special mention. The transfer of 855 specimens by the
United States Biological Survey is particularly noteworthy, as these
comprised the large private collection of mammals of Dr. Ira N.
Gabrielson, chief of the Survey, which was turned over to the Survey
as a gift from him.

Birds—The more important and valuable accessions include 9382
skins and 219 skeletons of Siamese birds from H. G. Deignan. Dr.
A. Wetmore collected 320 skins and 42 skeletons in Guatemala, and
W. M. Perrygo and C. C. Lingebach obtained 997 skins and 5 skele-
tons and alcoholics in West Virginia. Dr. Armando Dugand G.,
Barranquilla, Colombia, donated 151 skins of Colombian birds. A
skin of Botha difficilis from Southwest Africa was presented by Dr.
Herbert Friedmann. A lot of 26 skins of forms new to the Museum
was obtained in exchange with the Zoologisches Museum in Berlin.

21353—37 3

30 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

Seven skeletons of the jabiru (Jabiru mycteria) were acquired by
purchase, while the first skeleton of the yellow rail (Coturnicops
noveboracensis) to come to the Museum was donated by Dr. L. H.
Walkinshaw, of Battle Creek, Mich. Another interesting specimen,
the trunk skeleton of Atlantisia rogerst, was obtained in exchange
from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia.

Reptiles and amphibians—The most important accessions were,
collections from Siam made by H. G. Deignan, supplementing those
in the Museum from Dr. Hugh M. Smith. A fine lot of adult and
tadpoles of the discoglossoid toad Ascaphus truei was donated by
Dr. L. P. Schultz. The Museu Paulista in Sao Paulo presented
some interesting amphibian material from Brazil, and Dr. E. A.
Chapin’s collecting in Jamaica and that of Gerrit S. Miller in
Panama brought welcome additions to the herpetological collections.
A small but interesting collection of tortoises from Honduras was
acquired by purchase. The number of holotypes of new forms de-
posited by their describers is quite noteworthy: Type and paratypes
of Desmognathus wrighti by Willis King, National Park Service,
Tennessee; type and larva of Gyrinophilus porphyriticus dumm by
Henry G. M. Jopson, Bridgewater College, Virginia; type and allo-
type of Plethopsis wrighti by Prof. 8. C. Bishop, University of
Rochester; and types and paratypes of Hleutherodactylus andrews
and /. alticola by Dr. W. Gardner Lynn, Johns Hopkins University.
In addition, a number of paratypes and topotypes of various South
American tailless amphibians were obtained in exchange. Among
the animals received from the National Zoological Park may be men-
tioned a large specimen of the “Komodo dragon” and a full-grown
elephant tortoise from the island of Aldabra.

Fishes—Among the most important accessions were 90 large fishes
including 5 holotypes from Lower California donated by Dr. L. A.
Walford. Dr. George S. Myers presented the type of Hyphessobry-
con innesit from the Peruvian Amazon, and two paratypes of Melan-
onus unipennis were a gift from the New York Zoological Society
through Dr. William Beebe. The Smithsonian-Roebling expedition
of 1937 under Dr. Paul Bartsch yielded 1,736 specimens of fishes.
H. G. Deignan collected 832 specimens of fishes in Siam. Dr. L. P.
Schultz donated 1,321 fishes from various localities. The University
of Washington deposited 6,897 specimens including 6 holotypes.
From the Zoological Institute, Leningrad, were received 13 species
of Asiatic fishes, and 6 more came from the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics, Pacific Science Institute of Fisheries. C. R.
Aschemeier added 1,178 Maryland fishes and E. D. Reid 1,938 from
Maryland and Virginia to the collections.

Insects—The Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, fol-
lowing their usual practice, transferred to the Museum the insects

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 31

received through the efforts of their collectors and collaborators,
amounting to about 60,000 specimens. The material collected in the
West Indies by Drs. E. A. Chapin and R. E. Blackwelder, amounting
to approximately 60,000 specimens, contains many species new to the
collections, many of which are known to be undescribed. Among’
the gifts received, the collection of Lepidoptera by J. F, G. Clarke
ageregating about 10,000 specimens, ranks first. This collection con-
tains considerable type material and is largely from the Pacific
Northwest, a region not well represented previously in the collections.
Four small collections of Chilean insects, amounting to 545 specimens
and comprising material of more than usual interest, were received
from Dr. Edwyn P. Reed. Three shipments of about 17,500 speci-
mens were received from Dr. D. C. Graham, Chengtu, China, and
680 moths from Brazil were acquired by purchase. Special mention
also should be made of the receipt from B. Preston Clark of 100
species of Neotropical Sphingidae.

Marine invertebrates ——The leading accessions for the year include
specimens new to the collections, or type material, as follows: The
Hancock scientific expeditions, through Capt. G. Allan Hancock, Los
Angeles, marine invertebrates taken on the trip of the Velero III
to the Gulf of California in the spring of 1936; Capt. R. A. Bartlett,
New York City, a collection from northeast Greenland made in the
summer of 1986; the Smithsonian-Roebling exploring expedition, a

mens from Africa, received from the Jardin Botanique de l’Etat,
Brussels, Beleium; and 150 specimens from Formosa, received from
Taihoku Imperial University, Formosa.

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

One of the improvements in the exhibition series was the reinstal-
lation of the birds in the two rooms devoted to the District of
Columbia faunal collection. The usual and formal installation of
individual specimens on polished walnut stands was abandened,
and the birds were remounted on natural branches fastened to the
back of the case, which was covered with monk’s cloth. The exhibit
was appropriately relabeled, and a start was made at artificial
internal lighting of the individual cases. The change is a great
improvement on the old monotonous serial display. Numbers of
attractive casts of local amphibians have also been added to the
District faunal exhibit.

The exhibits in the north range of the second floor now include a
wall case containing a human nervous system dissected and mounted
at the Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery and donated
by Prof. G. C. Stukey. Among the additions to the mounted mam-
mal exhibits may be mentioned a fine old male giant panda and
a handsome specimen of the smaller true panda, both from the
extreme western part of China adjacent to Tibet, collected by Dr.
D. C. Graham. Several large fishes have been added to the exhibi-
tion series: A mounted specimen of a large blue marlin weighing
478 pounds, presented by Michael Lerner, of New York; a white
marlin donated by Clay Jewell, of Baltimore; a large threadfish
donated by Mrs. Hubert K. Reese, of Memphis; aud an 1,800-pound
ocean sunfish. Work on changing the mounting of the anthropoid
skeletons of the exhibition series progressed satisfactorily, and the
remounted gorilla skeleton has already been reinstalled.

In the division of mammals rearrangement of skins was confined to
a continuation of the rodent collection, of which the entire group
of Asiatic squirrels were rearranged, labeled, and given additional
space. The entire group of rats (Pattus) consisting of 34 cases was
rearranged with the necessary labeling and expansion. ‘The spread-
ing and rearranging of the hystricine rodents were completed as
far as space and case room permit. The pangolins, armadillos,

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 35

sloths, and anteaters were all given some additional space, but this
entire group is still much crowded. Further progress was made
on the intercalating of the Merriam collection of skins, hitherto kept
as a separate collection, and in consequence certain groups had to
be rearranged. It was necessary to spread and rearrange sections of
the insectivores, North American sciurine rodents, microtine ro-
dents, and lagomorphs as far as case space would permit. Carlyle
Tucker, of Washington, D. C., assisted as a student in the rear-
rangement of some of the larger carnivores and in listing certain
groups of mammal skins for an index now in preparation. Charles
L. Wheeler, of Hatchville, Mass., who spent 214 months as a student
in the division, aided in the rearrangement of most of the groups
mentioned above and listed the scientific names from the labels of
several large groups of mammals for indexing.

The alcoholic collection of mammals has grown considerably and
received commensurate attention.

The taxidermists made up 85 mammal skins as study specimens
and skinned 41 fresh specimens. The ears of 51 mammal skins
returned from the tanners were softened, turned back, and card-
boarded, a process that keeps the ears in good condition. A number
of skeletons were roughed out, and 38 large and medium-sized skele-
tons and 250 skulls were cleaned. By outside contract 491 smal!
skulls and 25 skeletons were cleaned. The preservation for mount-
ing of the full-grown African elephant donated by the Cole Brothers
was one of the outstanding efforts of the taxidermists. W. L.
Brown, chief taxidermist, accompanied by two assistants, went
to Rochester, Ind., where the elephant had died, and with great
skill and much hard work skinned the huge carcass, preserved the
hide, roughed out the skull and big bones, and sent the specimen in
excellent shape to the Museum, where it will be mounted.

In the division of birds the identification and modernized labeling
of the study series were continued, and many specimens were so
treated. Dr. E. M. Hasbrouck went through the entire series of the
Fringillidae, checked all labels where the data seemed incomplete,
and put Museum labels on all specimens not already so provided.
The work of expanding and rearranging the collections undertaken
by the associate curator involved 9 quarter-unit cases of sparrows and
22 half-unit cases of pigeons, hawks, and parrots. The catalog of
scientific names applied to birds was increased by about 800 cards.
Of the birds received in the flesh during the year, 84 were skinned
and made up by the taxidermists, 423 skeletons were cleaned, and 120
skeletons were roughed out. The number of old skins remade or re-
paired was 37, and the number of eggs blown was 15. The number
of skeletons cleaned by outside contract was 112.

36 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

About 4,000 reptiles and amphibians were card-cataloged and
placed on the shelves in the stacks. The whole alcoholic collection
was gone over, the alcohol replenished, and the old cork-stopper
bottles replaced when necessary. During the year 75 study skins of
turtles were made up, and 175 skulls and 182 shells were cleaned.
The nearly complete skeleton of the giant Komodo lizard that died
in the National Zoological Park was roughed out and cleaned.

In the division of fishes the regular cataloging, labeling, identify-
ing or renaming, card indexing, bottling, and installing new and old
accessions were carried on under the new assistant curator. In the
alcoholic stacks all the jars in the type series and part of the Philip-
pine collections were refilled.

Work in the study collections of insects progressed steadily. Addi-
tional space is urgently needed for necessary rearrangments and the
incorporation of material already at hand. The requests for insect
identifications were about the same in number as last year, approxi-
mately 44,000 lots being submitted to the taxonomic division of the
Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine for identification.

In the section of Coleoptera certain groups of particular importance
in connection with the work on the West Indian fauna were re-
arranged to facilitate the study of the specimens recently secured in
that region. The Philippine Carabidae, Dytiscidae, Hydrophilidae,
and Anthribidae of the Baker collection were transferred to trays and
museum drawers. This has been done for the exotic species of the
large genus Apion and the European species of the weevil genera
Baris and Cleonus, as well as for the weevil subfamilies Rhynchitinae
and Attelabinae. Certain material returned by outside investigators
who had borrowed it for use in their revisional studies was incor-
porated and the affected groups rearranged. A large part of the un-
mounted beetles of the Wickham collection was sorted to species or
to genera and the Museum specimens distributed in the collection
unmounted; the Mexican, Central American, and West Indian speci-
mens in the lot were mounted, labeled, and incorporated. <A valua-
ble collection of about 50 species of Sumatran beetles, presented by E.
Jacobson, was included among the acquisitions. The collection of
coleopterous larvae is in good condition, but serious taxonomic work
is much needed, and little of this has been possible the past year owing
to the heavy burden of identification work. Improvements in the
Lepidoptera collections are seriously handicapped by space limita-
tions. About 1,000 specimens of Oecophoridae, Gelechiidae, and Ole-
threutidae were distributed in the collections. In the Microlepidop-
tera, the families Stenomidae, Oecophoridae, Gelechiidae, and
Aegeriidae were rearranged. Various groups belonging to the
families Noctuidae and Geometridae, from the collection of the

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 37

Brooklyn Museum and from the Barnes collection, were incorporated
in the Museum series. More than 1,500 slides of genitalia were pre-
pared and placed in the slide collection. ‘Twelve drawers of miscel-
laneous muscoid Diptera were sorted to genera and incorporated, as
well as about 3,500 muscoid flies identified by Walton, Coquillett, and
Aldrich. Forty-six additional drawers of Nemocera were labeled
and arranged, making a total of 154 completed out of approximately
300. The Conopidae and parts of the Sarcophagidae and Syrphidae
were arranged. While the pinned Diptera collections are in gener-
ally good condition, a great deal of labeling and arranging needs to
be done, and certain groups, particularly in the Muscoidea, must be
thoroughly studied and reworked before any arrangement can be
undertaken. Much work is also needed on, the slide collection, espe-
cially in the marking and recording of types.

In most of the families of Hymenoptera the collections are in
satisfactory shape for reference purposes, compared with the un-
worked condition of numerous subdivisions in the parasitoid groups.
Considerable minor rearrangement was done incidental to the identi-
fication work, and the material in various genera was more or less
completely reorganized, especially in H'xetastes, Ophion, Enicospilus,
Eremotylus, and Spilochalcis. A good deal of material that had been
loaned for study was reworked and returned identified, including the
Museum’s specimens of North American /’mpria, Neotropical Meli-
nona and Trigona, and Nearctic Xyphidria, Timulla, Myzine, and
Chrysididae. The Beutenmiiller collection of gall-making cynipids,
comprising about 6,500 specimens, was transferred to trays and prop-
erly incorporated by L. H. Weld, who has also distributed in the
Museum collection nearly 4,000 cynipids.

Various restricted groups in the Orthoptera, particularly in the
families Acrididae and Blattidae, were rearranged. The material in
the small family Grylloblattidae was entirely reassembled, studied,
and arranged in accordance with the conclusions presented in a man-
uscript recently completed. Practically all the Chinese Acrididae
were studied and determined by K. S. Francis Chang and await in-
corporation. In the neuropteroids the Nearctic Myrmeleontidae were
completely rearranged. <A large part of the unstudied material of
minor orders in this group was sorted, at least to orders and much
of it to families. The entire reorganization of the valuable Caudell
library of separates is now nearly completed.

The condition and arrangement of the ectoparasite collections are
good, but there is overcrowding in many places, additional slide
storage space being needed. The type specimens in many cases re-
quire remounting, and this work is progressing gradually. Most of
the museum collections in this assemblage of groups are rich in new

38 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

material and need study and reworking on this account. The Wol-
cott collection of land mites, including several hundred slides, was
restudied and interpolated in the regular collection. The Collembola
submitted to Dr. H. B. Mills, of the Montana Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, when returned by him after identification, were trans-
ferred to standard vials and properly labeled for incorporation in
the Museum collections. The ectoparasite collection received from the
National Institute of Health was cataloged and placed in storage Jars
for safekeeping.

The collections in all the major subdivisions of the Hemiptera are
in good condition curatorially, although numerous sections are in need
of reworking. In the Heteroptera, parts of the families Lygaeidae,
Reduviidae, Cimicidae, Veliidae, and Belostomatidae were rearranged.
The large collection of Philippine Tingitidae, studied by Dr. C. J.
Drake and recently returned, was incorporated, as well as collections
of miscellaneous Heteroptera received from J. S. Wade and M. C.
Lane, of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. The C. F.
Baker collection of Philippine Homoptera has been transferred to
trays, necessitating the rearrangement of the entire collection. Incor-
poration of material collected by P. W. Oman in the Western United
States, 1933-36, continued as time permitted. The collection of aphids
is in excellent condition, except that expansion is necessary in certain
parts and the large Asiatic collection of aphids has not yet been
incorporated because of lack of space.

Satisfactory condition of the alcoholic study collections of marine
invertebrates has been maintained. With the aid of a Works Progress
Administration helper the dry collections were examined, poisoned
anew, and protected against dust. Dr. R. S. Bassler, under whose
active custodianship the collection of Recent Bryozoa was placed some
years ago, has dried many of the old collections and separated the
permanent calcareous portions into species, because in most cases it is
detrimental to the specimens to preserve them in liquid, since the
fleshy anatomical structures become decomposed and the calcareous
skeleton obscured. Fresh material must be studied for the soft parts.

In the division of mollusks the installation of steel cases with metal
drawers in the so-called duplicate storage marks a great improvement.
Great strides were made in preparing and labeling the mass of ac-
cumulated collections, making it possible to intercalate them in the
study series; this in a large measure was due to the help rendered by
the five Works Progress Administration workers assigned to the
division. The cataloging of the pamphlets and rearranging of the
library were accomplished under Dr. Rehder’s direction by Miss
Shields and a Works Progress Administration worker. Great prog-
ress was made in revising certain groups of the collections in con-
nection with the researches conducted by the scientific staff.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 39

The Museum collections of helminths in the custody of the zoolog-
ical division of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry are
being subjected to a systematic revisional overhauling by Drs. Ben-
jamin Schwartz and E. W. Price and their associates.

A great part of the coral collection was given a cleaning by a
temporary assistant during the year. The corals are now installed in
dustproof cases. The room of the honorary custodian, Dr. T. Way-
land Vaughan, was supplied with new quarter-unit cases, and the
specimens in these also were subjected to the same cleaning process.

Through temporary services in the first quarter of the year, the
cataloging of identified specimens in the division of echinoderms was
continued, the card catalog was brought up to date, and considerable
progress was made in revising it. Part of the collection of dried
starfishes was rearranged, and considerable work was done on the
alcoholic collections.

In the division of plants the number of specimens mounted for the
herbarium during the year was 38,528. Of these, 33,218 were mounted
by contract (5,325 by glue and adhesive straps, 27,893 by straps
alone); the remaining 5,810 were mounted by our preparator in
addition to repair and other work. By utilizing Works Progress Ad-
ministration help, most of these, together with an accumulation from
last year, were made ready for incorporation into the herbarium, the
total number of mounted specimens stamped and recorded being
51,977, which is more than twice the number of last year. Of this
material, the ferns and most of the South American and Old World
phanerogams were distributed into the herbarium. Several employees
assisted materially in the project on the bibliography of eastern
Asiatic botany, and one has made good progress in an analysis of the
National Herbarium, listing the main collections and their sources.
The segregation of type specimens of American flowering plants was
continued by E. P. Killip, 535 being added during the year. The
number of types of new species and varieties now cataloged and
placed in individual covers is 20,868.

As heretofore, E. C. Leonard gave special attention to the herbaria
of mosses and algae. J. A. Stevenson, honorary custodian of the C. G.
Lloyd mycological collection, reports that additional space was pro-
vided for this collection, which is deposited with the United States
Department of Agriculture, so that facilities are now available for
the increasing number of visiting mycologists.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Such time as the curator of mammals, Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., was
able to devote to research, was largely applied to the continuation
of a special study of the primates, Much work was done on the

AO REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

routine identification of specimens newly received and on the deter-
mination of bones from Indian deposits. The assistant curator, Dr.
Remington Kellogg, identified the mammals collected by Perrygo
and Lingebach in West Virginia and submitted for publication an
“Annotated List of West Virginia Mammals.” He also spent coen-
siderable time in the identification of bones collected in Indian de-
posits and continued his studies on the Miocene mammals of Maryland.
In December his “Review of the Archaeoceti’’, on which he has been
engaged for some years under the auspices of the Carnegie Insti-
tution, was published. A.J. Poole, scientific aide, continued work on
the revised catalog of type specimens of mammals. A. B. Howell,
collaborator, located at the Johns Hopkins Medical School, Baltimore,
spent 2 days dissecting the muscles of a solenodon.

The curator of birds, Dr. Herbert Friedmann, continued his work
on Ridgway’s unfinished monograph, “The Birds of North and Middle
America”, completing the order Gruiformes, and began work on the
gallinaceous birds. He also published a paper (in collaboration with
Arthur Loveridge, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology) on East
African birds and the second volume of United States National Mu-
seum Bulletin 153, dealing with the passerine birds collected by the
Childs Frick expedition to Ethiopia and Kenya Colony, as well as
two short papers on Alaskan birds. He identified several large lots
of bird bones from archeological sites in the Aleutians and Kodiak
Island. The associate curator, J. H. Riley, completed and submitted
for publication a manuscript on the Abbott and Smith collections of
birds from Siam. He also studied the birds collected by the late
Dr. W. L. Abbott in the islands off the west coast of Sumatra. Dr.
Alexander Wetmore continued work on fossil birds and on the birds
of West Virginia and Virginia, in the course of which he published
a number of papers.

The studies of the turtles and tortoises of North and Middle America
were continued by the curator of reptiles, Dr. L. Stejneger. Dr. Doris
M. Cochran finished a manuscript on the tree toads, Hylidae, of south-
eastern Brazil, in collaboration with Dr. Adolpho Lutz, of Rio de
Janeiro. Her report on the remaining frog genera of the Brazilian
collections made by her during the previous year is nearing completion.

Dr. L. P. Schultz, assistant curator of fishes, who entered upon his
duties at the beginning of 1937, had little opportunity for research
because of the engrossing nature of the curatorial and administrative
tasks connected with taking charge of the division. Nevertheless,
he submitted for publication a paper on a new deep-sea fish, Argyro-
pelecus antrorsospinus, of the family Sternoptichidae; revised the
genera Argyropelecus and Polyipnus,; and described a new species of
the latter genus. Two papers, one redescribing the capelin of the

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 41

North Pacific and the other on the skate Raja kincaid, were com-
pleted. Under joint authorship with Dr. C. L. Hubbs, Dr. Schultz
is preparing a revision of the genus Porichthys with a description of
anew species. E. D. Reid, aide, prepared a paper on the “Description
of a New Blennoid Fish of the Genus Acanthemblemaria from the
Pacific Coast of Panama”, as coauthor with Dr. G. S. Myers.

In the division of insects the curator, Dr. E. A. Chapin, continued
research on various groups of Scarabaeidae, especially the species
of Serica related to the Japanese S. similis, of which material was
borrowed from the British Museum.

Dr. A. G. Béving made considerable progress on the classification
of coleopterous larvae of the genus Phyllophaga. W.S. Fisher be-
gan a revision of the Nearctic buprestid beetles of the large and
difficult tribe Chrysobothrini. Studies on minor complexes in the
Hispidae, Chrysomelidae, Cerambycidae, and Curculionidae in con-
nection with identifications are in progress by the various specialists
on Coleoptera.

J. F. G. Clarke has in progress several revisional papers on various
families and genera of Lepidoptera, and August Busck completed a
revision of the North American Gelechidae, a family of Microlepidop-
tera. He also made some progress on a monograph of the American
Tortricidae. Carl Heinrich’s study of American phycitine Lepidop-
tera was considerably advanced during the year, in the preparation
of which 530 drawings and about 2,000 genitalia slides were made.
His revision of the lepidopterous genus Rupela was completed and
in press at the close of the year. Dr. Alan Stone completed and sub-
mitted for publication a monograph of the Nearctic horseflies
(Tabanidae), while a revision of the fruitfly genus Anastropha is in
an advanced stage of preparation, as is also a review of the North
American species of the family Calliphoridae by D. G. Hall. The
latter has also been doing preliminary work on a synopsis of the
botflies of North America, as well as conducting studies of various
small groups of muscoid flies. C.'T. Greene made definite progress
on his family classification of dipterous larvae, including the prepara-
tion of some illustrations. A. B. Gahan prepared working manuscript
keys for various groups of Chalcidoidea to assist in identification and
to serve as a basis for more complete studies later. R. A. Cushman
continued his studies of ichneumonoid genera. His revision of the
Nearctic species of the genus H'wetastes was in press at the end of the
year. Miss Grace A. Sandhouse completed and published synopses of
the North American bees belonging to the genera Awgochlora,
Augochloropsis, and Augochlorella, while revisions of the Nearctic
bees of the genera Osmia and Halictus are in preparation, besides
a study of the wasps of the genus 7rypoxylon. Studies on certain
genera of American roaches were completed and published by A. B.

42 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

Gurney, who also completed a synopsis of the family Grylloblattidae,
which has been submitted for publication. Intermittent work was
done by H. A. Allard and A. B. Gurney on the “Manual of Orthoptera
and Dermatoptera of Northeastern United States”, begun by the late
A. N. Caudell in collaboration with Mr. Allard.

The key for the “Generic Classification of the Fleas of the World”
by Dr. H. E. Ewing was completed, but the paper itself 1s not yet
ready for publication; work on keys to the chiggers of the New World
was well advanced, and a revision of the mites of the subfamily
Tarsoneminae was completed and submitted for publication. Studies
in various small genera of true bugs belonging to the families
Lygaeidae and Reduviidae were undertaken by H. G. Barber, and a
short paper on the genus 7’riatoma was completed and published.
P. W. Oman continued work on the revision of the North American
leafhoppers, and that of the tribe Errhomenellini was nearly com-
pleted. A first draft of a revision of the aphids of the cosmopolitan
genus M/yzus was completed by Dr. P. W. Mason, who continued his
studies on the Macrosiphina as a whole. Dr. Harold Morrison made
much progress in his studies of the scaJe-insect genus Matsucoccus,
for a review of which much new material has been assembled.

In the division of marine invertebrates, the curtor, Dr. Waldo L.
Schmitt, continued work on his review of the hermit crabs of Hawaii,
which is being done jointly with Otto Degener, of Honolulu, and on
his studies of the macruran and stomatopod collections of the Han-
cock expeditions. Clarence R. Shoemaker, assistant curator, nearly
completed his report on the Amphipoda of the New York Zoological
Society’s Bermuda expeditions and made preliminary studies toward
a revision of North American amphipods. Dr. Mary J. Rathbun,
associate in zoology, read the proofs of her bulletin “The Oxystomat-
ous and Allied Crabs of America”, the last of her series of mono-
graphs on North American crabs; named nearly all the unidentified
Brachyura received since her previous monographs on American crabs
appeared; and determined most of the material taken in the Philip-
pines by Dr. H. C. Kellers on various United States Navy eclipse
expeditions. James O. Maloney, aide, continued his studies of the
isopods collected in the Arctic by Capt. Robert A. Bartlett and those
taken by the Hancock expeditions. Dr. J. A. Cushman, collaborator
in Foraminifera, worked on a series of monographic revisions of
various foraminiferal families; while Dr. Charles Branch Wilson,
collaborator in Copepoda, completed reports on the parasitic copepods
of the Hancock Galapagos expeditions of 1934 and 1935 and on the
copepods of the Bartlett Arctic cruises from 1926 to 1935.

Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of mollusks, prepared a report on marine
mollusks submitted by the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics Gov-

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 43

ernment, obtained during explorations of the Japan, Okhotsk, Ber-
ing, and Arctic Seas. The types of the many new species are in the
collection of the National Museum, as well as a representative series
of other specimens. This material is very important, since it covers
the gap that existed in our collection of the North Pacific marine
fauna. The curator has also continued his researches on Cuban land
mollusks, in cooperation with Dr. Carlos de la Torre, of the Univer-
sity of Habana, and monographs are being prepared on parts of this
rich fauna. Dr. Bartsch and the assistant curator, Dr. H. A. Rehder,
are now engaged on a revision and report of Hawaiian gastropod
marine mollusks, a continuation of the study completed on Hawaiian
bivalve marine mollusks. In addition, Dr. Bartsch continued his
breeding experiments with Goniobasis in the Potomac drainage. Dr.
Rehder continued researches in molluscan nomenclature, so essential
for the proper designation of the material in the collection. Dr. J.
P. EK. Morrison, senior scientific aide, continued his studies on the West
Indian and North American Pupillidae and other minute terrestrial
gastropods of the United States.

In the division of echinoderms the curator, Austin H. Clark, com-
pleted the preparation of the illustrations for part 4 of his “Mono-
graph of Existing Crinoids”, and the manuscript was submitted for
publication. Considerable progress was made in the preparation of
the manuscript of the next part. Work was continued on the
echinoderms of the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition. Mr.
Clark’s report on the crinoids of the John Murray expedition to the
Indian Ocean, 1933-34, was published. A report on the echinoderms
collected by Capt. Robert A. Bartlett in the seas about Greenland
also was published, and a report on the echinoderms of Hudson Bay
based upon the collections of the Canadian steamer Loubyrne was
submitted for publication.

E. P. Killip, associate curator of plants, contributed the manuscript
of a synopsis of the Valerianaceae and Caprifoliaceae for publication
in the “Flora of Peru”, by J. F. Machride, and of the Passifloraceae
for the “Flora of Surinam”, by A. Pulle. The bibliography of east-
ern Asiatic botany by Dr. E. D. Merrill, of Harvard University, and
K. H. Walker, of the National Herbarium, mentioned a year ago as
completed, will be published during the coming year under the
auspices of the Arnold Arboretum.

Fifty-five lots of specimens were received for examination and re-
port by the division of mammals, and 45 by the division of birds in
addition to 15 lots of bones. Eighteen lots were sent to the division
of reptiles and 30 to the division of fishes. The number of lots of
insects received apart from those handled through the Bureau of
Entomology and Plant Quarantine was 180. The division of marine

44 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

invertebrates received 118, representing the identification of over 7,000
specimens. To the division of mollusks came 7%6 lots, and 5 lots of
helminths were similarly handled. Lots of echinoderms totaled 60,
and the division of plants received 332 lots, aggregating 21,479 speci-

mens.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

Duplicate zoological specimens distributed to museums, colleges,
high schools, and similar institutions aggregated 2,465 specimens;
and 18,890 specimens were sent out in exchange, of which 1,913 were
zoological. The 16,977 plants distributed went to 97 institutions and
correspondents, of which 49 were in the United States and 48 in 24
countries abroad.

NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DEPARTMENT

The number of specimens given below is based on the numbers
estimated for the previous fiscal year with the addition of the
specimens accessioned during the present year and the deduction of
specimens removed during the same period. The figures of the
early estimates were approximate and have been revised from time
to time. Several collections, as the corals, of which no estimate has
as yet been made, are not included, nor does the number of plants
include the lower cryptogams and duplicates. In several of the divi-
sions lots consisting of minute organisms are frequently counted as
single specimens though they may contain hundreds or even thou-
sands of individuals the enumeration of which could serve no useful

purpose.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY
(R. S. Basster, Head Curator)

Progress in the preservation and increase of the geological col-
lections during the past 12 months compares most favorably with
that of previous years, although fewer extensive gifts or purchases
are noted. The policy of conducting field researches in localities
from which material is most needed was continued with excellent
results, explorations in such widely separated areas as Alaska, New
Mexico, Chile, Michigan, and Czechoslovakia bringing valuable
returns. Of especial interest are fossil mammals collected in the
Southwestern States; meteorites from Chile; excellent epidotes and
other minerals from Prince of Wales Island, Alaska; fossil inverte-
brates from the Middle Devonian of the upper Mississippi Valley;
and Devonian and Cretaceous fossils from various classic European
localities. All these accessions are much needed additions to both
the exhibition and the study series.

With the continued assistance rendered by Federal relief aid, the
preparation and cataloging of the collections progressed most favor-
ably, notably in the case of the large series of Cambrian fossils
assembled by Dr. C. D. Walcott and the greatly expanded set of

meteorites.
ACCESSIONS

A total of approximately 62,757 specimens registered under 234
accessions is the record for the year. These are listed under the
different divisions as follows: Mineralogy and petrology, 99 acces-
sions (1,432 specimens); geology, systematic and applied, 22 acces-
sions (206 specimens); stratigraphic paleontology, 92 accessions
(60,493 specimens); vertebrate paleontology, 21 accessions (626
specimens). The number of accessions is only slightly larger than
last year, but the value of the material for scientific purposes is
considerably increased, because the important additions resulted
mainly from the personal efforts of members of the staff in carefully
planned field trips.

Mineralogy.—The income from the several funds available for
mineralogy brought valuable accessions both by purchase and by
field explorations. The Roebling collection received a number of
outstanding specimens through purchases. Of especial interest are
many crystal groups, including fine azurite on smithsonite from
Southwest Africa; the rare silver tin sulphide, canfieldite, from
Bolivia; large pale blue octahedral fluorites from Colorado; lustrous
bournonite and cronstedtite from Rumania; gem-quality pink and

21353—37——4 45

green spodumenes from Brazil; and unusually fine topazes and bix-
byites from Utah. New and rare selenides and selenates from
Bolivia; selected specimens of calcite, galena, and sphalerite from
Kansas and Oklahoma; and rich masses and crystals of uraninite
from North Carolina were also secured. An extensive suite of min-
erals from the noted locality on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska,
resulting from field explorations by Assistant Curator E. P. Hender-
son, added fine specimens of epidote of various crystal habits, numer-
ous large andradite and almandite garnets, unusually fine uralite,
and other associated minerals.

Choice items obtained through the Canfield Fund include a select
lot of minerals from the copper mines at Tsumeb, Southwest Africa,
particularly notable being a unique group of huge azurite crystals;
a slab covered on one side with crystals of the rare copper arsenate
olivenite and on the other with azurite and malachite; lustrous twinned
crystals of cerussite showing a variety of habits; two large groups of
huge crystals of malachite pseudomorphous after azurite; and a large
group of rhombohedral smithsonite crystals. These make up a color-
ful exhibit.

Other noteworthy additions, largely through gifts, to the mineral
collections are as follows: From Dr. Harvey P. Barret, Charlotte,
N. C., 15 scepter quartz and amethyst crystals, a huge spessartite
garnet crystal, a rich specimen of the uranium minerals gummite and
uranophane from North Carolina, and five select specimens of chal-
cedony replacing coral from Florida; from Earl L. Calvert, San
Gabriel, Calif., a specimen of the very rare silicoborate, bakerite,
from California. A new occurrence of the rare hydrous aluminum
oxide, diaspore, is represented by a rich specimen presented by Prof.
V. P. Gianella, Reno, Nev. Boodle Lane, of Galena, Kans., supple-
mented his many previous gifts by a large slab of clean, pink dolo-
mite; a huge crystallized group, showing galena, sphalerite, chal-
copyrite, and dolomite; and a fine large crystal of sphalerite with
large tetrahedrons of chalcopyrite in parallel position. W. D. Nevel,
Andover, Maine, donated a small group of crystallized montebrasite
from Maine, and William Sullivan of Nucla, Colo., a specimen of
the rare calcium vanadate, pascoite, from that State. Frank L. Hess
continued his donations with a considerable number of unusual min-
erals and ores, including a rare rubidium-bearing mica described by
him. Dr. John P. Marble transferred to the division the specimens
of pitchblende and other minerals upon which he has made age deter-
minations and analyses. One lot of described minerals from Amelia,
Va., was transferred by the United States Geological Survey.

Four gem stones were added to the Isaac Lea collection through
the Frances Lea Chamberlain Fund: A very rare blue scapolite cat’s-

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY A7

eye of 314 carats, a fine red zircon of 10 carats, a green spodumene
of 45 carats, and a fancy bronze-colored diamond of 1 carat. The
Turquois Indian Trading Co., Santa Barbara, Calif., presented a
selected lot of 18 cut and polished turquoises from their mines in
Nevada. Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, of the Museum’s department of anthro-
pology, in memory of his wife, Maria Hrdlitka, donated six objects
lavishly mounted with Bohemian garnets.

Petrology.—Additions to the meteorite collection were obtained
largely through the Roebling Fund. Outstanding additions are a
complete pallasite of 14 kilograms from near Antofagasta, Chile,
obtained through the efforts of Dr. C. Preston Butler of the Smith-
sonian Astrophysical Observatory at Calama, Chile. A new fine
octahedrite of 29 kilograms, a new hexahedrite of 15 kilograms, and
another of 2 kilograms, all from Chile, were obtained by Mark C.
Bandy; a complete, coarse octahedrite, weighing 20 kilograms, from
New Leipzig, N. Dak., was secured through Daniel Buchwitz, Jr.
Another important addition is a third of the Shallowater, Tex.,
chladnite.

Gifts of meteorites include a small fragment of the Kappakoola.
Australia, chondrite from R. Bedford, Kyancutta, South Australia.
and a small mass of a chondrite from Great Bear Lake, Canada, from
Hugh 8S. Spence, Ottawa, Canada.

Other new meteorite falls added to the collection are: Arriba,
Colo.; Bennett County, S. Dak.; Channing, Tex.; Farley, N. Mex.;
Fayetteville, Ark.; Gladstone, N. Mex.; Grady no. 2, N. Mex.; Grant
County, Kans.; Hale Center, Tex.; Hawks Springs, Wyo.; Loomis,
Nebr.; Morrill, Nebr.; Morven, New Zealand; Mount Morris, Wis.;
Tacubaya, Mexico; Ute Creek, N. Mex.; Quartz Mountain, Nev.;
and Spearman, Tex. The total number of distinct falls represented
in the collection is now 635.

The most important addition to the rock collection is a suite of
lavas from Easter Island, South Pacific, studied and to be described
by Mark C. Bandy.

A collection of studied rocks and ores from the North and South
Carolina gold belt and a series of nodular, orbicular, and banded
chromite ores from northern California were transferred by the
United States Geological Survey, and a collection of monazite sands
and related material illustrating the occurrence at Bald Mountain,
Wyo., was presented by George L. English, Rochester, N. Y. Speci-
mens of outstanding merit for exhibition are mercury ores from
Arkansas, gift of Leo Yount, Amity, Ark.; several masses of pure
cerargyrite from the Balleza District, Mexico, from A. W. Morris,
Parral, Mexico; and a very rich specimen of gold and silver tellu-
rides from the Magnolia District, Colo., donated by George Jump
and Edward Yates, Magnolia, Colo.

48 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 19387

Stratigraphic paleontology—rThe largest and most valuable ac-
cessions in this division were obtained by members of the staff
through collections in the field or by personally arranged exchanges.
Dr. G. A. Cooper, assisted by P. E. Cloud, secured about 30,000
specimens of Devonian invertebrates as a result of their summer
field trip of 1936, extending from New York to Missouri, and Mr.
Cloud on a later trip brought in extensive sets of Cretaceous and
Tertiary invertebrates from New Jersey and Delaware. Likewise,
Dr. R. S. Bassler, while engaged in research work in various
European museums, had opportunity to obtain more than 20,000
specimens of invertebrates from Tertiary and Cretaceous rocks of
certain well-known areas that previously had been poorly repre-
sented in the Museum’s collections. As a result of his trip several
exchanges were arranged, one with the Narodni Museum at Prague,
Czechoslovakia, which resulted in the acquisition of Devonian in-
vertebrate fossils from classic localities in Bohemia. Another com-
prised extensive sets of Austrian and Australian Tertiary Bryozoa
obtained from Dr. J. Sulc, of Prague. A third consisted of two
valuable collections of London Basin fossil shells received from
Arthur G. Davis, London, England, specialist in the study of the
English Tertiary. |

Dr. Cooper arranged exchanges that brought to the Museum the
following important materials: 187 specimens of fossil brachiopods
from the Mesozoic of England and Africa, received from the British
Museum; a collection of Mesozoic brachiopods, from Prof, Charles
Schuchert, New Haven, Conn.; and a set of Ordovician and Silurian
brachiopods from Anticosti Island, from the Peabody Museum of
Yale University. From the New York State Museum two large
exchanges were obtained, one an important set of plants and animals
representing various geologic formations of England, France, and
Italy, and the other a set of slides of European fossil Foraminifera
and Ostracoda, including material from the T. Rupert Jones collec-
tion. The type series was enriched by Devonian ostracods of
Pennsylvania, described and presented by Prof. Frank M. Swartz,
State College, Pa.

Two collections of bryozoans and blastoids from the Mississip-
pian rocks of Missouri, received from Clarence M. Jenni, Festus,
Mo., and extensive sets of conodonts from the New Albany shale
of Indiana, from Prof. John W. Huddle, Chapel Hill, N. C., com-
prise other notable exchanges.

By purchase from Ward’s Natural Science Establishment, Ro-
chester, the museum secured a small but important collection of
Silurian-Devonian Pelmatozoa, and from the Kyancutta Museum of
South Australia 46 specimens of the peculiar spongelike Lower
Cambrian Archaeocyathinae from South Australia.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 49

Of especial value for the study series are Middle Cambrian inver-
tebrates from Thorn Hill, Tenn., presented by John F. Mason, of
Princeton University, and Upper Canadian fossils from Lawrence
County, Ark., by Byron C. Marshall, of Imboden, Ark.

Two important collections of Tertiary fossils from the Hawaiian
Islands are recorded, one obtained by H. T. Stearns and transferred
by the United States Geological Survey and the other received as
a gift from Wray Harris, of Tutuila, Samoa.

Additions to the paleobotanical collections worthy of special
mention are fossil plants ranging in age from Devonian to Tertiary
time, including a number of specimens suitable for exhibition.
Among the latter are fossil wood from Ontario, purchased from
Charles Southworth, and a coniferous tree trunk from the Lower
Cretaceous of Maryland, presented by William H. Easton, as well
as a fine set of Eocene plants from Missouri, the gift of A. S. Duck-
worth. Fossil seeds and wood from Jack County, Tex., of interest
for the study series, were obtained by exchange from Ward’s Nat-
ural Science Establishment, while Dr. Erling Dorf, of Princeton,
N. J., presented a plant collection from the Devonian of the Bear
Tooth Buttes in Montana.

Vertebrate paleontology—The material resulting from the divi-
sion’s major field expedition constitutes the accession of first im-
portance in vertebrate paleontology. About 600 determinable speci-
mens of Paleocene and Pliocene mammals were collected by Dr. C.
L. Gazin and party in New Mexico and Arizona during the field
season of 1936.

A composite mountable skeleton of Mylodon harlani, a giant sloth
from the famous Rancho La Brea deposits in California, was ac-
quired through an exchange with the Los Angeles Museum of
History, Science, and Art; and Dr. E. L. Troxell, Trinity College,
Hartford, Conn., presented a cast of an HLohippus skeleton.

By purchase were obtained a mounted skeleton of Merycodus
from the Miocene of Montana; an excellently preserved skull of
the extinct musk-ox Symbos cavifrons, from the Pleistocene of
Indiana; a nearly complete fossil turtle, Aspideretes superstet, from
the Paskapoo formation of Alberta, Canada; and two eggs of the
extinct ostrich, Struthio andersoni, from the loess of China.

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

Exhibition work accomplished by Curator W. F. Foshag in the
divisions under his supervision includes a variety of subjects. First,
a cabinet to illustrate fluorescence of minerals under the action of
ultraviolet rays was completed and put in operation. Through the
operation of an automatic switch the visitor can view the normal

50 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

colors of the minerals under ordinary electric light and contrast
these with the beautiful tints shown under the ultraviolet rays.
In this cabinet there is incorporated a stereomotorgraph machine,
where the principal addition of the year was a set of slides illustrat-
ing the subject of astronomy. By the aid of new lighting the
gypsum-cave exhibit was much improved. An introductory case
showing the classification of crystals by means of specimens and
glass models and the physical characters of minerals in general was
installed at the entrance of the exhibition hall. The systematic col-
lection of minerals was improved by the substitution of better ma-
terial in a number of instances, and a new case was installed for
the display of the epidote crystal groups and associated minerals
from the Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, collected by Assistant
Curator E. P. Henderson.

In the ore exhibits a more satisfactory arrangement was accom-
plished, leaving the open aspect so much to be desired. Here the
cases devoted to mercury and to aluminum were completely rein-
stalled with the addition of excellent new material. Notable addi-
tions were also made to the gold-ore exhibit. The meteorite collec-
tion was thoroughly overhauled and improved by the removal of
many small, inconspicuous specimens and their replacement by new
and better exhibition material. Owing to the large amount of cut-
ting and polishing necessary, these changes are not yet fully com-
pleted. In connection with this work the catalog of all known
meteorite falls with geographical check lists, as well as the catalog
of the meteoric material in the national aiileshons. was brows:
up to date.

The Shepard collection of meteorites, long seoregated, was cata-
loged and incorporated in the regular series. The type collection
of minerals was rearranged and relabeled to bring it up to date,
the Henry Washington collection of analyzed rocks and accompany-
ing thin sections was labeled, and a finding list of all the minerals
was prepared. The gem collection received attention, with the intro-
duction from time to time of choice new material, but the most
important work here was the preparation of a large and compre-
hensive catalog relating to gem stones. In the rock-cutting labora-
tory the work of cutting, polishing, and preparing minerals, ores,
meteorites, and gems continued uninterruptedly, particularly in the
preparation of thin sections for this department and the division
of ethnology, and the cutting and polishing of meteorites, slabs of
agatized wood, and pegmatites.

Dr. C. E. Resser, curator of stratigraphic paleontology, with the
aid of several Works Progress Administration workers was able to
bring well toward completion the preparation and installation of
the great Walcott Cambrian collections in the study series. With this

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 51

aid he further was able to arrange the Paleozoic pelecypod collection,
to transfer the trilobite series to a more logical position, and to clean
and arrange more systematically the biologic series in general.

Dr. E. O. Ulrich, associate in paleontology, contributed his full-
time services for the greater part of the year to the separation and
identification of various lower and middle Paleozoic faunas, which
had long remained unnamed because of difficulty in their prepara-
tion and study. These embraced particularly the large Ordovician
collections made by Dr. Walcott in the Rocky Mountain area and
more recent accessions from the base of the Ordovician in Arkansas.

The field work of Dr. G. A. Cooper, assistant curator of strati-
graphic paleontology, in the summer season of 1936, resulted in such
large collections of invertebrate fossils that he was occupied for 4
months in their preparation and preliminary separation. Under
a grant from the Geological Society of America fcr the preparation
of a monograph on the Chazyan brachiopods, Preston E. Cloud was
employed to assemble and prepare all such specimens from the
various Museum series and to make the photographs necessary in
illustrating the new species. With this help about. 15,000 specimens
were brought together, and many hundreds of them were prepared
by chemical and mechanical means. This project was practically
completed with the making of over 1,200 photographs. Dr. Cooper
also continued his efforts on the improvement of the collections by
the etching of fossils from partly silicified hmestone with acid. By
this unique method many fine sets, particularly of trilobites and
brachiopods, were obtained.

The head curator’s contribution to the increase and identification
of the paleontological collections consisted first in obtaining many
fossil invertebrates, in preparing casts of various type specimens,
and in arranging for exchanges of much needed new material while
engaged in field and in research work in various localities and
museums in England and on the Continent during the summer
of 1936. His duties of conducting various educational groups
through the Museum, explaining the aims and purposes of the
Institution, and preparing articles on educational subjects reduced
his time for the work of identification of collections, but with the
aid of two National Youth Association students he was able to
prepare and greatly condense the large collections of conodonts
(supposed fossil fish teeth) that had accumulated throughout many
years. He was also occupied in the relabeling of the older collec-
tions that lacked the exact information necessary today, in which
work he had the advice of Dr. E. O. Ulrich and other members
of the staff.

Miss Margaret Moodey, aide, was employed part of the year in
work relating to the Springer collection of echinoderms, mainly in

52 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1987

bringing labels and records up to date and in assembling biblio-
graphic material for a synoptic lst of Paleozoic Pelmatozoa in
general. This collection, like all others in the department, requires
much effort in relabeling according to modern-day standards.

Dr. Mary J. Rathbun, associate in zoology, as heretofore, cared
for the fossil-crab collection and continued researches on this subject.
She also generously aided the department with her identifications.
Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of Cenozoic collections, took advantage
of the Federal relief help and made noteworthy advancement in the
cataloging of the collections.

With the aid of Works Progress Administration workers, thou-
sands of books and pamphlets were repaired, indexed, and filed,
many hundreds of pages of manuscript were typed, and many
thousands of labels written and drawers and specimens cleaned.
Conspicuous items in this work were the taggmg of more than
50,000 specimens with locality numbers and the typing of more
than 10,000 locality cards. The various bibliographic indices so
necessary in systematic work were kept well up to date.

The exhibition series of vertebrate fossils was increased by the
installation of a mounted skeleton of the antilocaprid Merycodus cf.
mecatus, the first member of this group to be exhibited in this
Museum. The mounting of an articulated skeleton of the notun-
gulate Scarrittia canquelensis was completed by Norman H. Boss
and is ready for exhibition. This specimen was mounted as a slab
precisely as found and depicts a type of preservation not previously
represented in our collections. It is unique in being the first South
American fossil animal to be displayed here.

The 7 months’ detail of the chief preparator to the Dallas Cen-
tennial Exposition resulted in the almost complete preparation there
of a Camarasaurus skeleton, which it is planned to mount in the
National Museum. ‘This specimen measures about 30 feet in length
and is of a genus not previously represented in our exhibits. Good
progress was made in the preparation of the 1935 collection from
the Wasatch of Wyoming, and the skillful preparation of a com-
plete articulated skeleton of Coryphodon by Thomas J. Horne re-
sulted in a splendid exhibition specimen that will be mounted at the
earliest opportunity.

Through the assistance of John Dante, a student worker, the col-
lection of identified fossil fishes is now systematically arranged.
With the help of a Works Progress Administration employee, more
than 1,000 specimens were cataloged, labeled, numbered, cleaned,
and neatly arranged in standard trays, and the bulk of this collec-
tion is now in excellent shape.

The collections of fossil mammals from the Wasatch, Torrejon,
and Puerco formations resulting from the field trips of recent years

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 53

were segregated and a considerable portion identified by Assistant
Curator C. L. Gazin. Choice specimens from these collections
formed the subject of a temporary exhibit in the foyer previous to
their installation in the regular exhibition series.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Dr. R. S. Bassler, head curator, completed a monographic study
ef the Hederelloidea, a new order of Bryozoa, and brought well
toward completion another section of the Fossilium Catalogus en-
titled “A Bibliographic Index of Paleozoic Pelmatozoa.” He also
wrote a field study in physical geology; assisted, as did several other
members of the department, in the preparation of scripts for radio
broadcasts; and prepared an appreciation of the life and scientific
accomplishments of the late Dr. August F. Foerste, associate in pale-
ontology, for publication by the Geological Society of America.

Dr. W. F. Foshag, curator of mineralogy, continued his studies
on two new copper chlorides and completed research on the Pasa-
monte meteorite and an investigation of arseniosiderite from Mexico.
The study of the unusual Shallowater meteorite was begun. E. P.
Henderson, assistant curator of physical and chemical geology, made
Investigations, including a number of chemical analyses, of the
minerals collected by him at Prince of Wales Island, Alaska. He
also completed several analyses and related chemical studies on
anorthite, particularly relating to the water content, which may
have an important bearing on the constitution of silicate minerals.
He has under study an unusual rock of extremely basic nature.

Dr. C. E. Resser, curator of stratigraphic paleontology, completed
his paleontological studies on the Cambrian of the southern Appa-
Jachians and prepared for publication his third paper on Cambrian
nomenclature. Dr. G. A. Cooper, assistant curator of stratigraphic
paleontology, considerably advanced two monographs, one on Cha-
zyan brachiopods and the other on the Devonian brachiopods of
Michigan.

Dr. E. O. Ulrich, associate in paleontology, devoted his efforts
to a revision of the monograph of Canadian brachiopods, prepared
in joint authorship with Dr. Cooper, and to his studies on Ordovi-
cian faunas of Colorado and Arkansas.

C. W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate paleontology, submitted for
publication two manuscripts, “Detailed Skull Structure of a Crested
Hadrosaurian Dinosaur” and “Descriptions of New and Little-
known Fossil Lizards from North America.” The description and
illustration of the reptilian collection from the Two Medicine forma-
tion progressed satisfactorily. Some time was spent in research
into the history of the division of vertebrate paleontology in antici-

54 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

pation of preparing a record on this subject covering the 90-year
period between 1846 and 1936.

Dr. C. L. Gazin, assistant curator of vertebrate paleontology,
devoted part of his researches to a study of the San Pedro Valley
mammal faunas, including the Carnivora, Perissodactyla, and Arti-
odactyla. He has also made studies of the Eocene and Paleocene
mammals resulting from field trips of recent years.

Dr. Remington Kellogg continued his studies of the cetacean col-
lections, devoting especial attention to the Cetotheres, of which he
proposes to make a monographic study.

Dr. Alexander Wetmore continued his studies on the fossil bird
collections, publishing a paper entitled “‘'wo New Species of Hawks
from the Miocene of Nebraska.”

Various studies in invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany were
advanced by members of the Federal Geological Survey staff located
in the Museum Building. Dr. Charles Butts completed the descrip-
tion of the characteristic fossils of the Paleozoic rocks of Virginia
for early publication by that State. Dr. Josiah Bridge continued
his monographic studies upon peculiar Canadian gastropods, and
Drs. L. W. Stephenson and J. B. Reeside were engaged in researches
on Cretaceous paleontology. Investigations in the study of Foram-
inifera, and the care of the collections occupied Lloyd G. Henbest
during the year. The paleocbotanical researches of Dr. R. W. Brown
resulted in a description of the Colgate sandstone flora of Montana
and an advancement of his studies of the Fort Union flora. Here
also Dr. C. B. Read completed a monograph on the Pocono flora and
further advanced his editorial work on the monograph of the Potts-
ville flora by the late Dr. David White.

There were 426 lots of material received for identification and
distributed to the various divisions as follows: Mineralogy and
petrology, and economic geology, 285; stratigraphic paleontology,
88; vertebrate paleontology, 53.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

Geological specimens were distributed as follows: Gifts, 2,242
specimens; exchanges, 3,307 specimens; loans for study, 4,193 speci-
mens.

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES
(CARL W. MITMAN, Head Curator)

The department of arts and industries is today largely a museum
of historical record in engineering and industry. Its collections in
this sense are definitely permanent and enduring, and new materials
are sought with this idea constantly in mind. In this respect the de-
partment experienced a normai year in spite of division of interest in
this country toward other display in technical museums and inter-
national expositions.

In addition to his regular duties, Carl W. Mitman, head curator,
continued to serve as contact officer for the Smithsonian Institution
in connection with Federal exhibits at the three expositions, at San
Diego, Dallas, and Cleveland. Two of these, at Dallas and at Cleve-
land, were reopened for a second season and were in full progress at
the close of the year.

Frank A. Taylor, curator of engineering, continued to serve as
associate director of the Historic American Merchant Marine Survey
(Works Progress Administration Federal project no. 6) and made
several visits to regional offices of the survey on the Atlantic coast to
advise with the supervisors and inspect and aid in the planning of

the work.
ACCESSIONS

The number of accessions—237—was 9 less than that for last year.
The number of specimens included in the accessions was 3,180, or an
increase of 899 over the preceding year. This was due largely to the
volume of two accessions—new chemicals for the section of organic
chemistry and a collection of Brazilian woods. The specimens re-
ceived this year were distributed as follows: Engineering, 577; tex-
tiles, 252; organic chemistry, 666; wood technology, 941; medicine,
231; graphic arts, including photography, 518.

Engineering —Of the 92 accessions received, 34 pertain to aero-
nautics, 55 to mechanical technology, and 3 to mineral technology.
The total number is considerably larger than that of last year, owing
primarily to the number of accessions resulting from the activity of
the Historic American Merchant Marine Survey. Without these the
total is about the same as last year.

The outstanding accession in aeronautics was the gondola of the
stratosphere balloon Haplorer IJ, in which Capt. (now Maj.) A. S.
Stevens and Capt. O. A. Anderson, United States Army, established
the present altitude record (72,395 feet) for a manned balloon. This
flight was made from Stratabowl, near Rapid City, S. Dak., on

55

56 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

November 11, 1935, under the auspices of the United States Army
and the National Geographic Society. The gondola, which is a huge
sealed sphere of Dowmetal, was presented to the Museum by the Na-
tional Geographic Society after being exhibited around the country.

Participation in the Great Lakes Exposition at Cleveland, Ohio,
permitted the division to have constructed 12 models of commercial
airplanes illustrating the development of types used during the first
10 years of the Air Mail Service. Other models received during the
year include four current Navy types, namely, the Curtiss Helldiver
and Vought O3U3 made and lent by LeRoy McCallum, the Northrop
BT-1 presented by the Northrop Corporation, and the Curtiss SBC3
presented by the Curtiss-Wright Corporation. William B. Stout pre-
sented models of his Bat Wing and cabin plane, illustrating the early
use of large tapered wings. Paul Robertson made and presented two
World War German types, the Albatross D-3 and the Rumpler, and
William Gladstone presented the Pfalz D-12. Models of the Stinson
Detroiter and Lockheed Vega, used by Sir George Hubert Wilkins in
his 1927 and 1928 Arctic flights, were presented by W. E. Scripps, of
the Detroit News, which was one of the sponsors of the flights. The
Taylor Aircraft Co. presented a model of its Cub type, and Vincent J.
Burnelli presented the original wind-tunnel model of the AB-1 of
1920.

The interest occasioned by the Museum’s celebration of the twenty-
fifth anniversary of Calbraith P. Rodgers’ transcontinental flight of
1911 resulted in the accessioning of a mail bag carried on the flight
and a propeller that was on the plane when it crashed with Rodgers
in 1912, both received from §. F. DuRee, Long Beach, Calif. The
same occasion led to the presentation by W. Albert Pease, Jr., of a
laurel wreath given to Rodgers by the city of Long Beach. A collec-
tion of pictures, clippings, instruments, and insignia was received
from Maj. Russell L. Maughan, famous for his “dawn-to-dusk” trans-
continental flight of 1924.

Mrs. Wiley Post presented instruments formerly on the Winnie
Mae, which were removed from that plane by Post and used on the
plane in which he met his death. J. Stirling Getchell, Inc., presented
five scrapbooks describing Post’s tour of the United States in the
Winnie Mae in 1933. Other interesting accessions included a copper
plaque trophy, awarded to John Moisant for his flight across the
English Channel in 1910, presented by his sister, Miss Matilde
Moisant; one of the newly developed Everts 1-bladed propellers made
by Sensenich Brothers and presented by the Everel Propeller Cor-
poration; an old-type parachute with its basket container, presented
by Miss Babe Smith; a collection of illustrations, clippings, and pub-
lications relative to the work of Alberto Santos-Dumont, presented

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES 57

by Mrs. Henry Breckenridge, who was an interested observer of
- Santos-Dumont’s early dirigible demonstrations at Paris and who
actually piloted his airship on one occasion; a collection of data relat-
ing to early airplane mail flights sponsored by the Post Office De-
partment, collected and presented by Mrs. Charles P. Grandfield,
widow of the First Assistant Postmaster General at the time these
flights were being made; and a reproduction of a Laurence Hargrave
box kite of 1890, made and presented by the Abercrombie & Fitch Co.

The most interesting accession in watercraft is a collection relating
to the life and work of John W. Griffiths, naval architect, writer,
and editor, whose ships, the Rainbow, 1845, and the Sea Witch,
1846, were the first of the famous American clipper ships. The
collection includes one half-model, a large number of original drafts,
and many papers, letters, and notes relating to Griffiths’ active life.
The material was presented in part and loaned in part by Miss
Marion H. Virnelson, granddaughter of Griffiths. The historic
American merchant marine survey activity resulted in the accession-
ing of a large number of half-models. These include models of a
representative group of vessels employed in the fisheries of the Gulf
coast, which were collected by Philip A. Sawyer of the survey; half-
models of “Hampton” boats presented by Capts. Frank Johnson and
Dennis Wilson; two rigged models of a Piscataqua River packet and
a gundalow of about 1886, presented by Capt. Edward H. Adams.
Ralph E. Cropley added to his former gifts of marine material 3
albums of photographs and prints of Atlantic steamships, 29 volumes
of notes and pictures of steam vessels, and 4 volumes of notes on
sailing vessels, all bound and indexed for reference.

To the coliection pertaining to land transportation was added the
first Franklin automobile (no. 3) to leave the Franklin factory in
1902, the oldest existing example of the car that was the most
successful and persistent of the air-cooled automobiles. The long
search for a good early example of the American buggy was more
or less successfully ended by the acquisition of a gig phaeton of
about 1860, which was presented by Mrs. Carrie Bayly Webster,
Mrs. Delia Bayly Orem, and the children of Alexander Shepard
Bayly. Three accessions to the railroad collection included a fine
operating scale model of the “Royal Blue” train of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, which was made by Fletcher Speed and presented
by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co.; a large hand-operated model
of a Walschert’s locomotive valve gear presented by the Capital
Division 160, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; and a short
section of steel-capped rail, not heretofore represented in the col-
lections, presented by James L. McLaughlin.

In the field of communications the Buffalo Evening News broad-
casting station WBEN presented a high-frequency broadcasting

58 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

transmitter, W8XH, designed, constructed, and operated by the
staff of WBEN in the period 1933 to 1936. Frank Orth presented
parts of a nearly complete shipboard wireless telegraph transmitter
of the period 1912 to 1915. A complete Edison cylinder phonograph
was received from William P. Whelan. This machine, which plays
both 2- and 4-minute records, will be used for playing back
records of historic and ethnological interest as well as for exhibition.
A most interesting phonograph accession is that of the Edison talk-
ing doll of about 1890, which was presented by Miss Mary Mead
Sturges. The talking part of the doll is a miniature hand-operated
cylinder-record phonograph element that recites a nursery rhyme.
Remington Rand, Inc., continued to make additions to the type-
writer collection by presenting a Bar-Lock no. 4, a Remington-Sholes,
an Automatic portable, and a Munson typewriter.

One of the most interesting single items in the history of the
calculating machine was added to the national collections when
Mrs. Raymond J. Koch, daughter of Dorr E. Felt, presented the
original wooden “macaroni box” model of the calculating machine
made by her father in 1884-85. This was the first experimental model
made by Felt at the beginning of his work, which led to a successful
solution of the problem of making a practical key-operated calcu-
lating machine. J. G. Sparkes gave a fine example of an eighteenth
century French sector, the instrument widely used in connection with
the simple dividers by surveyors and navigators for the rapid graphic
solution of problems in geometry and trigonometry. A miniature
wag-on-the-wall clock with brass and wooden works, probably early
nineteenth century German, was presented by Mrs. Eleanor W.
Bisell, Mrs. Caroline W. Shannon, and Mrs. Elizabeth W. Harman.
A new gift of watch parts, movements, and cases, illustrating the
manufacture of modern watches, was made by the Elgin National
Watch Co., through W. H. Samelius, who installed the material
in the Museum.

The accession of electrical material of most interest to the insti-
tution is that of a small electro-magnet believed to have been made by
Joseph Henry at Albany in 1829. This relic was presented by
Benjamin L. Dolbear, son of Amos Dolbear, famous telephone pio-
neer, who received it from Thomas Hall, proprietor of a scientific
instrument shop at Boston, to whom it had been given by Joseph
Henry. Laurence C. Burton presented a Vetter direct-reading mil-
am-meter, and Charles D. Guthrie gave two early outside-frosted
Edison incandescent lamps of about 1890-91.

Three accessions were made to the tool collection: 13 old gun-
rifling broaches and 4 hand-made gun sights, presented by F. O.
Braley; a sailor’s knife with marline-spike, from Dr. Frank R.

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIBS 59

Menagh; and a ship carpenter’s adz from William C. Hollands. The
Ray Oil Burner Co. presented a horizontal rotary oil burner of
1914, which is a rotary cup atomizer type of burner with built-in
fan and spiral air passages, typical of the pioneer work of William
R. Ray, oil-burner inventor. To the popular fire-fighting relics
collection was added a fine example of a sewed-leather fire bucket
that belonged to Isaiah Younglove (1783-1843), presented by Miss
Margaret Calvert. The most interesting accession in the section of
mineral technology is that of four pieces of U-shaped drain tile laid
on the farm of John Johnston at Geneva, N. Y., in 1835, presented
by Prof. B. B. Robb. This tile is from one of the first installations
of agricultural drain tile laid in the United States and was made at
Geneva from a sample imported by Johnston from Scotland, where
he had observed the beneficial results of the use of drain tile. The
installation is still functioning. The Corning Glass Works made a
new gift of 11 pieces of current patterns of art glass. These are all
of clear crystal and, in contrast with the earlier colored art glass
from this same firm, illustrate the modern trend to simpler effects.
Carl A. Judsen gave two miners’ rubber protective knee pads made
by the Judsen Rubber Works, Inc., for inclusion in the collection
of miners’ personal equipment.

Textiles, organic chemistry, wood technology, history of agricul-
ture, and medicine.—The 2,090 specimens added to the collections in
these divisions and sections were contained in 80 accessions, 2 of
which were joint accessions with other departments.

Three accessions received in the division of textiles are worthy of
mention. One from the Cotton-Textile Institute; New York City,
included two lots of specimens representing cotton dress materials
produced in the United States, and one from Collins & Aikman
Corporation, New York City, comprises a new series of mohair pile
fabrics for automobile, bus, and railway cars and plain and figured
upholstery plushes and includes valuable and instructive specimens,
especially made for the Museum, showing the splitting of double-
woven plushes and the method of weaving and cutting the pile of
the elaborate figured plushes woven on German wire looms. A third
accession, from the Du Pont Rayon Co., New York City, brings new
specimens showing the production of the synthetic yarn from wood
pulp, and new fabrics, particularly those made from short filaments
or “spun” rayon. ‘There was deposited in the division by E. Howe
Stockwell, New York City, the Cross of the Legion of Honor that
was presented in 1867 at the Paris Exposition to his grandfather,
Khas Howe, Jr., by Emperor Napoleon II of France, as “promoter
of the sewing machine.”, A series of specimens showing the develop-
ment of the mulberry silkworm was transferred from the Depart-

60 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

ment of State. The specimens were prepared and mounted by pri-
mary-school pupils in Ianaguawa Prefecture, Japan, and presented
to President Roosevelt by the International Friendship Society of
Japanese school children.

A number of accessions of desirable material for the collection of
early American homecraft textiles and needlework were received.
An exceptionally fine double-woven coverlet in a John Landes pat-
tern with pine-tree border made about 1798 was presented by Lester
W. Stackhouse, Bristol, Pa. A cotton-and-wool “overshot” weave
coverlet in “Double Bow Knot” pattern, made about 1867, was pre-
sented by Miss Maude M. Fierce, Washington, D. C., and two hand-
woven coverlets of the same type of weave, in star patterns, were lent
by Mrs. John H. Murray, of Washington, D.C. Two woven “tufted”
work counterpanes, one made in 1798 and the other in 1812, were lent
to the collections, the first by Misses Eleanor and Grace Semmes and
the second by Mrs. Frances S. Nichols, all of Washington, D. C.

Four appliqued quilts and two pieced quilts were added to the
series, five as gifts and one as a loan. From Miss Mary Newman,
deceased, through Mrs. Edith Blaisdell Newman, Cheverly, Md., an
early nineteenth century, bleached cotton quilt appliqued in green
and turkey red tulip pattern; from Mrs. Harry Snideman, Upper
Marlboro, Md., as a loan, a cotton applique quilt, in “Whig Rose”
pattern; from Miss Maude M. Fierce, Washington, D. C., a cotton
applique quilt, “Wreath of Roses”; and from Miss Annie Pine,
Catskill, N. Y., a patriotic quilt in a spread-eagle pattern with 28
stars, made in 1846. The two pieced quilts, together with the woolen
quilting guides used for outlining and quilting designs, were also
presented by Miss Maude M. Fierce.

Handwork with flax was represented by a number of specimens,
including two linen sheets and a sampler presented by Mrs. Edward
V. Clarke, Waukesha, Wis., and two examples of table-linen pat-
terns, woven in 1820 and 1826, from Mrs. Edwin G. Foster, Roch-
ester, N. Y. Miss Katherine Lee Bryarly, deceased, through her
sister, Mrs. B. B. Spencer, presented several textile implements used
in the house, including a wool wheel, a clock reel, and wool cards.

Specimens of homecraft in the form of needlework were presented
by Mrs. Caroline W. Shannon, Mrs. Jean Daugherty, Miss Maude M.
Fierce, and Mrs. Henry Clarke Coe, all of Washington, D. C. These
included an example of “crepe work” on satin; a needlework picture,
made about 1870, in a combination of plush stitch, cross stitch, and
bead embroidery on single thread canvas with wool, silk, and beads;
a “fluffy” knitted wool rug made in 1846; a small sample knitted by
Miss Iierce to show the method of making,the rug; a specimen of
darned net of the period of 1875; and 25 needlework samplers that

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES 61

had previously been lent to Mrs. Coe for exhibition. There were
also two gifts of historic prints on textiles: an “event” apron, printed
for the Cotton Centenary held in Pawtucket, R. I., in 1890, to com-
memorate the starting of Samuel Slater’s cotton spinning machinery
on December 20, 1790, from Miss Bertha C. Woods, Woodville, Mass. ;
and two photographie prints of George Washington commemorative
handkerchiefs, from Robert E. Coe, Upper Sandusky, Ohio.

Sixty study samples of valuable old fabrics were presented by Mrs.
Julia Brenner, San Francisco, Calif. These include American,
European, and Oriental silk, cotton, and wool textiles, dating from
the sixteenth to the twentieth century, and were collected by Miss
Ruth M. Brenner.

For the section of organic chemistry, the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Co., Akron Ohio, furnished 128 additional specimens showing stages
in the manufacture and history of rubber boots, shoes, and coats,
together with colored transparencies of actual operations. This com-
pany also supplied specimens illustrating the anode process for
rubber deposition from suspension by the electric current, one of the
latest innovations in rubber technique. Another exhibit of popular
appeal was one of 97 specimens from the Brown Co., Portland,
Maine, illustrating the preparation of practically pure cellulose from
wood fiber and products of its application in high-grade plastics,
papers, and substitute leathers.

A collection of 248 specimens of new chemicals of commerce, the
results of research in 1934 and 1935, was donated by Chemical Indus-
tries, a Journal published in New York City, through William Haynes,
editor and collector of the material. Among them is a sample of urea,
made by a new synthetic process from carbon dioxide and ammonia.
Urea was the first synthetic organic chemical ever produced and was
the forerunner of a new era in chemistry. The inspiration given by
its synthesis from inorganic materials led to further research and
the preparation of many thousands of dyes, medicinals, perfumes,
flavors, photo, and other organic chemicals of great importance. Urea
itself is produced on a commercial scale and has many uses, especially
for plastics and fertilizers.

The Florasynth Laboratories, New York City, contributed 96
samples of perfumes and flavors, natural and synthetic.

Ninety-two specimens relating to the history of the manufacture of
horn combs by the Noyes family, who carried on this industry for
162 years, were presented by Miss Anna Isabel Noyes and Miss
Dorothy White, of Binghamton, N. Y. The material included crude
horns, stages in the manufacture of horn combs of various types,
tools used in fashioning them, photographs of the machine invented
for the purpose, and family photographs of the founders of the Noyes
Comb Co.

62 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

For the section of wood technology, the most outstanding accession
of the year was a collection of 885 woods from Brazilian Amazonia
secured from Boris A. Krukoff. These woods are backed by herbarium
material from the same trees, much of which is deposited in the
National Herbarium, a complete set being at the New York Botanical
Garden. Continuing an exchange, begun in previous years, the
New York State College of Forestry sent the Museum 70 wood
samples of commercial timbers of the United States backed by her-
barium material. This is an important addition and brings the total
of samples received to date to 174. It will continue at least until
all the more important commercial woods starred in the United
States Forest Service check list are assembled.

In addition to the above, 15 miscellaneous specimens were received
for the study collection as follows: Three samples of “cube”, Loncho-
carpus spp., used by the natives of Brazil for poisoning fish; five
wood samples, mostly of the Cactaceae, collected in Mexico and Ari-
zona by Ira L. Wiggins of the Dudley Herbarium, Stanford Uni-
versity, Calif.; wood samples of two species of Schénopsis from the
Yale School of Forestry; one trunk section of castor bean from
Clayton L. Polley, Washington, D. C.; one trunk section of coffee-
tree from John Leonard, Urbana, Ohio; one trunk section of tangerine
wood from Walter H. Drake, Mount Dora, Fla.; and one specimen
each of the New Zealand “whau” tree and the James River hybrid
walnut from cooperators in the Division of Plant Exploration and
Introduction of the United States Bureau of Plant Industry.

A noteworthy addition to the collections was made by the Wood
Conversion Co., St. Paul, Minn., in the form of 17 specimens showing
stages in the manufacture of the insulating and sound-deadening
materials “Balsam-Wool” and “Nu-Wood.” ‘This valuable contribu-
tion replaces an exhibit, sent to the Museum by this company in 1923,
when only one of these products was being manufactured.

Continued interest was also shown by the Hammermill Paper Co.,
Erie, Pa., in their gift of four specimens, screened pulp, rosin, beaten
pulp, and paper machine stock, sent to replace similar materials that
had become discolored in their exhibit illustrating the manufacture
and use of sulphite wood pulp for writing papers.

The most valuable addition to the division of medicine was a col-
lection of photographs, cut-out maps, drawings, and specimens to
illustrate the manufacture and use of the medicine known as anti-
venin, an anti-snake-bite serum. ‘The collection pictures the princi-
pal poisonous snakes of North, Central, and South America; shows
the serpents’ poison sacks and fangs; demonstrates how the venom
is extracted and used in the manufacture of this medicine; and gives
an idea of the extent of illness and death in the United States due to

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES eS

snake bites. The exhibit was contributed by Sharp & Dohme,
Philadelphia, for the public-health section.

The history of medicine section was enhanced by the following
contributions: 50 pairs of eyeglasses, representing the period from
1865 to 1933, from Bausch & Lomb Optical Co., Rochester, N. Y.;
a plaster mold of a bust of Dr. William T. G. Morton, who intro-
duced practical ether anesthesia, made by the famous sculptor Augus-
tus Saint-Gaudens, and presented by Mrs. Ellen Morton, widow of
Dr. William J. Morton, New York City; a physician’s hand scale of
the eighteenth century, with wooden carrying case and 12 brass
weights, from Mrs. Eugenia M. Buchanan, Washington, D. C.; an
electrical stethoscope, from Western Electric Co., New York City; a
pump syringe in a wooden case and a set of four thumb lancets, with
tortoise-shell handles, in a leather case, which were used about 1830
by the donor’s father, from Rev. R. G. Harbutt, Canandaigua, N. Y.;
a pair of eyeglasses, with holder and case, from Mrs. Charles D.
Walcott, Washington, D. C.; a model illustrating the action of a
lymph pump, patented by the donor April 19, 19382, and used to
produce normal circulation of the body fluids, from Dr. C. Earl
Miller, Bethlehem, Pa.; and Chapman’s “Reflexes” and a wall chart,
from the Rowan Printing Co., Salisbury, N. C.

In the section of pharmacy an interesting collection of 60 speci-
mens was installed to illustrate the preparation and use of a modern
medicine, adrenalin (epinephrine, U. S. P.). Originally obtained
from the adrenal glands of cattle, the medicine is now produced by
synthetic methods, and is one of the most valuable therapeutic agents
available to the medical profession. This exhibit was donated by
Parke, Davis & Co., Detroit. J. B. Lippincott Co., Philadelphia,
presented a copy of the United States Dispensatory, centennial (22d)
edition. Official copy 1023 of “The Pharmaceutical Recipe Book”,
second edition, was received as a contribution from the American
Pharmaceutical Association, Washington, D. C. Dr. E. Fullerton
Cook, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science, Philadelphia,
Pa., donated a copy of the eighth edition of Remington’s “Practice
of Pharmacy.”

The principal additions to the section of materia medica were speci-
mens of new drugs not previously represented in the collection or ma-
terial received for replacement purposes. Among these were: His-
tamine phosphate from Hoffman-LaRoche, Nutley, N. J.; calcium
creosotate from the Maltbie Chemical Co., Newark, N. J.; and vege-
table drugs from Peek & Velsor, J. L. Hopkins & Co., R. Hillier’s
Son Corporation, Schieffelin & Co., and S. B. Penick & Co., all of
New York City.

Graphic arts—In the division of graphic aris, which includes the
section of photography, 65 accessions were recorded during the year.

A noteworthy accession was the wood-engraving tools and mate-
rials used by the late Macowin Tuttle during the period of 1870 to
1895 when the American school of wood engraving flourished. The
collection was the gift of Mrs. Tuttle. Late in life Tuttle started
a series of “wood gravures” made from a laminated board about the
size of an ordinary drawing board. The method was to take gauges
of various sizes and cut grooves in the board of various widths
and lengths in a very enlarged wood engraving technique. When
the cutting was finished the remaining surface of the board was
blackened by patting it all over with black printer’s ink or black
paint. A small photograph of such a “wood gravure” looks
much like the wood engravings made during the latter part of the
last century. Tuttle was very successful with this new method of
making large pictures. Three of them are in the possession of the
National Collection of Fine Arts. The large “wood gravure” is
not used for printing but is an original in the same sense as any
drawing or painting.

Besides the wood engraving outfit Mrs. Tuttle presented all the
tools used in making “wood gravures” and also two engraved box-
wood blocks made during the time when most illustrations were
printed from wood. One is the regular reproductive type common
between 1870 and 1895. The other is an original block engraved
directly from nature. This is the: only original wood engraved
block of that period possessed by the division.

A wood engraving of Abraham Lincoln was received from James
Bann, who at the age of 79 years is among the last of the old wood
engravers.

Of important historic significance was the acquisition from Roger
Williams of a chromolithograph mounted on specially prepared
canvas. This print is a fine imitation of an oil painting made on
painter’s canvas and mounted upon a stretcher frame. It probably
dates from 1870 to 1880, when the embossed chromolithograph was
popular. This is the only old print in the division printed directly
upon prepared canvas. Recent examples of color printing on can-
vas, facsimiles of oil paintings, are shown beside this old one.

The division was fortunate in adding two more of the remarkable
books that Dard Hunter has been producing in the past 20 years,
all relating to making and use of paper. These were “A Paper-
making Pilgrimage to Japan, Korea, and China” and “Papermak-
ing in Siam.” Mr. Hunter is the only man on record in the history
of printing who has completed a book from start to finish; writing
it, designing the type, casting it, and printing it on paper of his
own manufacture.

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES 65

Dr. Albert W. Barker presented one of his exquisite lithographs,
“Midsummer Moon”, together with a description as to how it was
made. Dr. Barker is a scientist as well as an artist and has greatly
improved lithographic procedure by inventing a new lithographic
crayon insoluble in water and a new dampening water containing
magnesium chloride, which keeps the stone in ideal condition, pre-
venting each tiny dot of the image from enlarging. This is an
important development in the lithographic process.. For the litho-
graphic section, too, the Lakeside Press, Chicago, furnished a large
and accurate reproduction of Audubon’s engraving of “The Pileated
Woodpecker”, printed in four colors by the “Deeptone” offset
lithography.

Frederic W. Goudy, a noted type designer, contributed three
examples of fine printing in which his types were used. He was
also the author of two of them, ‘“Ands and Ampersands” and “Type
and ‘Type Design.”

To the half-tone section of the division there was added the origi-
nal re-engraved half-tone block of “A Mountain Road” by Corot,
presented by the West Coast Engraving Co., and the Wayne Color
Plate Co. furnished a 120-line half-tone enlarged to eight lines to
the inch.

Artistic prints in color were received from Miss Ellen Day Hale,
Miss Gabrielle DeVeaux Clements, and Miss Lesley Jackson; etch-
ings from Morris Henry Hobbs, Paul F. Berdanier, Sr., and Charles
Woodbury; a lithograph from Frederick K. Detwiller; silk stencil
prints from Leo H. Fuller, Inc.; and some Japanese prints from
Mrs. Charles D. Walcott.

Drawing materials have for centuries been much the same: oil
and watercolor paint, crayons, and pastels in various colors and the
late graphite pencil. Recently watercolors have been put in pencil
and stick form. The drawing is made directly with the pencil or
stick and then brushed over with water, and a combined watercolor
and crayon effect is obtained by the pigment partially dissolving
and running over the paper in washes. The Eberhard Faber Pencil
Co. has supplied these new forms as well as many grades of pencils,
pastels in a new form, and a “fixatif” that sets with only a slight
darkening of the colors.

Of the 65 accessions in the division of graphic arts, 24 were
assigned to the section of photography and 118 specimens added to
its permanent collections.

Two years ago the section received by transfer from the United
States Geological Survey a Bagley trilens aerial mapping camera,
designed in 1917 by Maj. J. W. Bagley and built by C. H. Au.
This year the Survey added to the collection the Bagley transform-

66 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

ing camera, which prints and corrects the distortion and errors in
the negatives made by the trilens camera. Since this early histori-
cal camera was constructed great advances have been made, the
latest aerial mapping cameras using nine lenses.

W. S. Lively, founder and president of the Southern School of
Photography at McMinnville, Tenn., many years ago built a camera
that would hold a plate 5 feet high and 214 feet wide and large
enough to be a child’s playhouse. Mr. Lively made and finished
three negatives with this outfit, a carbon print, “Old Mountaineer”,
from one of them having been an attractive exhibit in the section
for many years. This year the original negative was presented by
Mr. Lively through his son Lee A. Lively. This, probably one of
the largest dry plates ever made, was manufactured by the Eastman
Kodak Co.

Another interesting addition was half a dozen 4” by 5’’ Carbutt’s
aluminum film sheaths for cut film. The purpose of these sheaths
was to hold cut film so they could be loaded into plate holders and
used as were glass plates. John Carbutt (1832-1905) was a pioneer
in improving the photographic methods and greatly increased the
efficiency of dry plates, being the first to manufacture them in the
United States, in 1879.

Twenty pictorial photographs, which strengthened the collection
of artistic prints, were received during the year. They are the work
of Mrs. J. H. Field, of Arkansas; W. Hurley Ashby, F. R. P. S.,
of Indiana; and Ruth Kilbourne, of California. George Harris, of
Washington, D. C., donated 52 portraits of 80 years ago that are
valuable historically.

There were received also a number of old but beautiful daguerreo-
types, ambrotypes, and tintypes, as well as historically interesting

Cameras.
INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

Engineering —The year was marked by several important exhibi-
tion and installation undertakings. The reinstallation of exhibits
in the power hall following the painting of that hall consumed a good
deal of time at the beginning of the year. ‘Toward the end of the
year large-scale changes and improvement in the arrangement of
exhibits in the Aircraft Building were completed. Individual exhi-
bition improvements were made in restoring the large coal-mine
model and the rebuilding of the model of the Mississippi River
steamboat Grey Fagle, both with the assistance of W. P. A.
craftsmen.

Textiles, organic chemistry, wood technology, and medicine.—Ex-
tensive changes were made in the arrangement and installation of the
exhibits in the three main halls devoted to textiles. The work was

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES 67

necessitated by the alteration of the east south range gallery, which
had been used for storage of specimens for more than 80 years, into
an exhibition hall of 1,200 square feet of floor space. The exhibits
illustrating wall and floor coverings were transferred into this new
area from the range below and newly installed with much fresh
material, while the spaces thus vacated were filled with the exhibits
of home handicrafts and home textile industries, such as the spinning
and weaving of cotton, wool, and flax, and examples of quilts and
samplers. The removal of some of these exhibits from the south
hall and their expansion in the east south range necessitated the
rearrangement of almost every exhibition case in both halls.

In the section of organic chemistry 14 reinstallations or rearrange-
ments of exhibits were made. These included the collection illustrat-
ing new chemicals, rubber manufacture, cellulose products, perfumes
and flavors, and horn combs.

The study collection of woods was increased by 920 specimens,
chiefly Brazilian woods, and involved much work in connection with
their proper preservation. With the assistance of a W. P. A. worker
1,401 small samples of woods were prepared for the study collection.

In the division of medicine a number of important exhibition
and installation improvements were completed. Probably the most
valuable of these were in the section devoted to the history of medi-
cine and pharmacy, where eight large exhibition cases were equipped
with electric illumination, necessitating a complete change in the
exhibition methods formerly used. In addition, several new exhibits
were installed in the section of public health, and a number of the
existing exhibits including dioramas and models were completely
renovated and improved. The replacement of deteriorated drugs and
the addition of specimens of official new drugs were continued in
the section of materia medica.

Graphic arts—The improvement of the division’s general offices
necessitated a few minor reinstallations during the year, and the
usual special monthly exhibitions were continued. They were as
follows:

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

As opportunity permitted staff members continued research in
fields represented by the collections under their charge, prompted by
the acquisition of new material and the better arrangement of the old.
Frank A. Taylor, curator of engineering, completed during the year
the manuscript for an illustrated catalog of the mechanical collec-
tions in the division.

Dr. Frederick L. Lewton, curator of textiles, devoted some time to
a study of the activities of Eli Whitney in connection with the inven-
tion and development of the cotton gin, primarily for the purpose of
verifying the authenticity of the model now exhibited in the Museum.
Dr. Charles Whitebread, associate curator of medicine, studied, many
original patent models in the collections of inventions designed to
simplify the work of those engaged in the preparation of medicines,
and prepared a paper entitled “Karly American Pharmaceutical In-
ventions”, to be read at a pharmaceutical convention. William N.
Watkins, assistant curator, section of wood technology, has been mak-
ing a study of certain tropical American woods to determine why
these woods so quickly dull tools. Some of the troublesome woods
examined were not particularly dense, and did not contain sufficient
crystals of calcium oxalate to turn the teeth of a saw, but appeared
to contain a resin which, when brought to the surface by the heat of
sawing, immediately hardened upon exposure to the air. These
studies are being continued.

Much assistance was rendered other Government agencies, notably:
The National Aeronautic Association in regard to the history of early
aircraft records and the evaluation of historic relics and other
possessions of the association; the Office of Education in connection
with the publication of the handbook Aviation in Public Schools; |
the Department of Justice in connection with litigation involving |
priority of invention in regard to aircraft devices; identification of

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES 69

specimens for the Tariff Commission; the Forest Products Division
of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce; the Federal
Bureau of Investigation; and the Bureau of Plant Industry. The
usual large number of identifications of objects brought or sent to
the department by private individuals were made by the staff.
There was a steady stream of old watches, tools, mathematical and
surgical instruments, sewing machines, old textiles, pieces of furni-
ture, and buttons.

Frank A. Taylor, curator of engineering, made several trips to
the regional offices of the Historic American Merchant Marine Sur-
vey in connection with his position as associate director of that
activity. He visited New York in December to consult with the men
who were conducting the George Westinghouse memorial meetings
there with a view to developing a Westinghouse exhibit for the Na-
tional Museum. During the same trip he visited the National Power
Show to examine exhibits there which might be suitable for the
Museum collections. In October Dr. F. L. Lewton, curator of tex-
tiles, visited Binghamton, N. Y., to procure specimens relating to the
manufacture of horn combs. Miss Aida M. Doyle, aide in organic
chemistry, visited industrial plants in the vicinity of Pittsburgh. C.
Allen Sherwin, scientific aide in graphic arts, visited New York and
Philadelphia to obtain specimens for the permanent collections and to
acquire information relative to proposed exhibiis.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

The distribution from the department totaled 841 objects consist-
ing of specimens, photographics, and prints. Of these there were
loaned to educational institutions 725 items, of which 546 were con-

DIVISION OF HISTORY
(THEODORE T. BELOTE, Curator)

The past 12 months have constituted a period of exceptional im-
portance in the development of both the study and the exhibition
work of the division of history. The interest of the public in the
work of the division was indicated by its response to four broad-
casts in the Smithsonian-Office of Education series, “The World is
Yours”, on the following subjects: “Coins in History”, “The George
Washington Collection”, “The Richard Mansfield Collection”, and
“Stamps in History.”

The assistant curator, Capt. Charles Carey, while in Europe on
furlough in the autumn of 1936, made an informal study of a num-
ber of European historical museums and obtained much data of
value concerning museum technique.

ACCESSIONS

The additions to the collection came in 99 accessions, aggregating
1,974 specimens.

The art series was increased by the addition of a portrait of Col.
John S. Crosby by Alphonse Jongers, presented by Mrs. S. V. R.
Crosby.

In the costume series there were added two coats worn by Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison, presented by William Henry Harrison.
A fine and representative collection of jewelry of the type worn
by American women during the nineteenth century was presented
by Mrs. Daniel Gardner.

To the domestic series were added several objects of unusual do-
mestic and historical interest. Among these were a mirror of the
eighteenth century donated by Edgar J. Rollins and two half-round
mahogany tables owned by Benjamin Franklin and bequeathed to
the Museum by Miss Susan P. Keech.

New material in the military series included a United States flag
flown over Fort Atares, Habana, Cuba, in 1898, presented by Wil-
ham Henry Harrison. A military relic of much interest was an
epaulet worn during the period of the Revolution by Col. Benjamin
Kyre and presented by Gustav Abbehusen. A Russian military
sword and scabbard of the nineteenth century was presented by Wil-
liam A. Hughins. An addition of special interest to the military
series was a campaign chest of Napoleon I of France and presented
by him to Emperor Alexander I of Russia in 1808. This chest,
made of mahogany and inlaid with brass, contains a number of

70

trays and compartments filled with various objects. The chest and
contents were received by the Museum as a loan from Houbigant, Inc.

The naval series was increased by the addition of models of the
U. S. S. Texas and the U. S. 8S. Preston, presented by Raymond
Adams. A heliograph from the Spanish warship Reina Mercedes,
sunk in Santiago Harbor, 1898, was presented by Mrs. George Ken-
nan.

A number of important additions were made to the numismatic
series. These included specimens of the following United States
commemorative half-dollars; Albany commemorative half-dollar,
gift of Miss Gertrude K. Lathrop; Arkansas Centennial half-dollar,
gift of the Arkansas Honorary Centennial Celebration Commission ;
the Columbia, 8S. C., Sesquicentennial half-dollar, gift of the Colum-
bia Sesquicentennial Commission; the Bridgeport, Conn., half-dollar ;
the Cleveland, Ohio, half-dollar and the Cincinnati, Ohio, half-dol-
lar, transferred from the Treasury Department, the Daniel Boone
Bicentennial half-dollar, gift of the Daniel Boone Bicentennial Com-
mission; the Delaware Bicentennial half-dollar, transferred from
the Treasury Department; the Elgin, Il]., Pioneer Memorial half-
dollar, gift of the Elgin Centennial Monumental Committee; the
Lynchburg Va., Sesquicentennial half-dollar, gift of the Lynch-
burg Sesquicentennial Association; the Long Island, N. Y., half-
dollar, transferred from the Treasury Department; the New Ro-
chelle, N. Y., Two Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary half-dollar,
transferred from the Treasury Department; the Old Spanish Trail
half-dollar, gift of L. W. Hoffecker; the San Diego, Calif., half-

San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge half-dollar, gift of the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Celebration Commission; the Sir.
Walter Raleigh half-dollar, gift of the Roanoke Colony Memorial
Association; the Wisconsin Centennial half-dollar, transferred from
the Treasury Department; and the York County, Maine, half-dollar,
transferred from the Treasury Department.

From the Treasury Department there came also examples of the
United States bronze, nickel, and silver coins struck at the Denver,
Philadelphia, and San Francisco mints in 1936. The American
Numismatic Association deposited in its loan collection a series of
75 foreign coins struck for circulation in the following countries:
Albania, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Central America, Cuba,
Cyprus, Danzig, Germany, Hungary, India, Mauritius, Morocco,
New Guinea, New Zealand, Panama, Peru, Siam, Southern Rho-
desia, Sweden, Tunis, and Turkey.

The philatelic series was increased by the transfer from the Post
Office Department of 1,359 specimens of current foreign postage

79 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1937

stamps and from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing of 8 speci-
mens of current United States postage stamps.

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

An important achievement during the year in connection with the
exhibition series was the standardization of the exhibition cases in
the halls of history. The historical collections are now shown in
the following types of cases: (1) Small Kensington; (2) large Ken-
sington; (3) deep wall cases; (4) shallow wall cases; (5) wide floor
cases; (6) narrow floor cases; (7) slope-top floor cases; (8) numis-
matic wall cases; (9) numismatic floor cases.

Through the acquisition of six standard wall-case units it was
possible to install in a suitable manner a series of costumes and
costume accessories on the north side of the hall containing the
costumes of the mistresses of the White House. Two shallow wall
units were at the same time devoted to the exhibition of a collection
of early American jewelry at the east end of this hall.

The services of seven W. P. A. workers were available during
almost the entire fiscal year. Training and supervising these
employees retarded the scientific work of the division to some extent
during the early period of their employment, but the work accom-
plished later by them allowed the performance of tasks of great
importance during the coming year. The arrangement of both the
study and exhibition series was greatly improved by this assistance.
Special progress in this connection was made with the work of
cleaning and classifying the small-arms collection. As the result of
this accomplishment and the acquisition of the standard wall-case
units it was possible to undertake a complete reinstallation of the
northeast court in which the small-arms collection is shown. This
reinstallation includes the display of the sword collection in wall
units around the entire length of the walls of this court.

One of the major operations accomplished by the regular staff
was the installation of the Copp collection of domestic materials on
the west gallery of the Arts and Industries Building. This collec-
tion, which was presented to the National Museum by John Brenton
Copp, of Connecticut, consists of miscellaneous domestic materials of
exceptional historical importance and comprises female and male
costume materials and accessories of many kinds—chinaware, glass-
ware, pewter ware, and household textiles, including a large number
of quilts, sheets, counterpanes, pillow and bolster slips, carpets, cur-
tains, dress goods, and embroideries. The table textiles include
cloths, covers, and napkins, and there are also miscellaneous house-
hold materials such as boxes, baskets, brushes, candlesticks, conch-

DIVISION OF HISTORY 73

shell, ladle, microscope, mortar and pestles, pillion, portmanteau,
sconces, mirror, sun-dial, warming pan, panes of glass, cards, pens,
ruler, and slates.

Another important task performed was the partial reinstallation
of the national numismatic collection. The numismatic hall is
divided into an eastern and a western section by a central north and
south aisle. The wall cases on the east side of the hall contain coins
of the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America, and
the floor cases contain ancient Greek and Roman coins. The wall
cases on the west side contain coins of the various countries of Europe
arranged approximately in alphabetical order from Albania to Swit-
zerland. The collection of Asiatic and African coins is to be in-
stalled in two floor cases in the southwest corner of the hall; two
hexagonal cases projecting out from the west wall now contain
oriental coins. <A row of seven floor cases in the center contain local
and national United States medals. <A special collection of coins of
foreign countries, struck since the period of the World War and lent
to the National Museum by the American Numismatic Association,
is Shown in two floor cases in the northwest part of the hall.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Much research work on the study and exhibition series was accom-
plished by members of the staff. The historical materials were
studied by outside investigators in a number of instances. Of special
importance was the continuance of the work begun last year by
W. P. A. investigators in connection with the domestic group of the
historical collections.

Seventy-one lots of material were received for identification by
mail.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

During the year 8 specimens here on loan were returned to the
owners, and 146 specimens or lots of material were loaned for
study use.
