REPORT ON THE PROGRESS AND CONDITION OF
THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1938

By ALEXANDER WETMORE

Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, in Charge of the
National Museum

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR
APPROPRIATIONS

FuNps FoR THE maintenance and operation of the United States
National Museum for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1938, were pro-
vided by appropriations carried in the Executive and Independent
Offices Act approved June 28, 1937. The appropriations and allot-
ments for the work of the Museum are summarized as follows:

Preservation of collections________._.__._____-_ $609, 380
Administrative reserve_______..-_-__._-_._- 3, 000
Available ‘for expenditures. 2 2 See ee Ro oa S $606, 380

aAvallable* for ‘expenditure=_-- See) be sek 27, 000

Total-available: for yeare222 2) e i ee a ee, 775, 720

Funds appropriated for the Museum for 1938 were $20,250 in excess
of those available for 1937, but owing to the deduction of the admin-
istrative reserve as shown above, there was actually available for
expenditure only $11,750 above the amount received for 1937.

Under “Preservation of Collections” $4,800 was received in 19388
to cover the salaries of four additional guards. These new posi-
tions have been of material assistance in reducing the overtime service
of guards in the buildings of the Smithsonian group, although the
force is still below the strength necessary to give full compensatory
time earned by overtime duty on Sundays and holidays.

2 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

Under “Maintenance and Operation” there was an increase of
$10,450 allotted for expenditure as follows:

(1) $38,500 for a new connection with the District water mains;

(2) $4,750 for a high-pressure water line in the Natural History Building
to supply hose outlets; and

(3) $2,200 for new fire hose.

This amount, available only for the fiscal year 1938, will remove
serious fire hazards that have come into existence, while the addi-
tional water supply will aid in the ordinary requirements in the
Natural History Building.

Under “Printing and Binding” a net increase of $2,000 was avail-
able for the printing of Museum manuscripts. This amount was
very considerably below the funds required to place our printing
on a good footing, but it was of great use in reducing accumulated
manuscripts awaiting funds for publication.

While the increases provided for the year are most welcome, atten-
tion should be called to additional requirements definitely needed in
connection with the Museum’s work. Funds are still urgently re-
quired for promotions. Turn-overs, even during a period like the
present one when outside positions have ceased to be an active com-
petitive feature, have continued excessive. This item results in
serious loss to the Museum, requiring, in addition to the time needed
for training new personnel, constant attention on the part of the
administrative force and personnel office. Apparently this condi-
tion cannot be remedied until the Museum is placed on a better basis
in comparison with other Government establishments where promo-
tions are given regularly as recognition of unusually efficient service.

Another feature that is causing considerable difficulty is the lack
of funds for electrical current and for repairs and alterations to
the electrical plant. Every year finds an increasing demand on our
current requirements, resulting in higher cost for power and placing
a dangerous load on many of the cables in our supply system. Dur-
ing the coming year not less than $5,000 additional should be avail-
able for replacing cables and providing for added current consump-
tion unless we are to allow the electrical system to deteriorate to a
iangerous point. Also, an early determination must be made as to
placing the buildings of the entire Smithsonian group under alter-
nating current instead of the direct current now available. The
unit comprising our buildings is one of the last of the Federal
establishments to be entirely dependent on direct current. The total
expense of such a change, together with required replacements of
worn-out elevators, will approximate $350,000. This question should
be given consideration before much money is spent on renovating
the present electrical system.

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 3

There is a continuing necessity of obtaining additional personnel in
all classes of our service, including professional and subprofessional
members of the curatorial staff, the clerical staff, and custodial
force. Much of our exhibition equipment is antiquated, and added
personnel is required for its proper care and modernization. In-
creasing age in our buildings and equipment also is bringing with
it problems in upkeep that must soon be met if very large expendi-
tures are to be avoided.

Arrangements looking toward additional housing for the National
Museum have been outlined in previous Annual Reports. The situa-
tion regarding space becomes steadily more serious, and provision
must be made soon to meet this need. The first item in the Smith-
sonian housing program is that of additional wings on the Natural
History Building, for which authorization was made by Congress
in 1930. It is highly necessary that this matter receive prompt atten-
tion, for even when work is actually begun it will be some time
before the additional space can be made available. Crowding in many
important collections is acute, and many workers are severely
cramped for quarters while prosecuting highly useful researches.
This important matter is included in the schedules submitted by the
Smithsonian Institution in connection with the building program
of the Government, and it is hoped that funds may be provided
promptly for its prosecution.

COLLECTIONS

The additions to the permanent collections of the National Museum
during the year cover a great range in variety and kind and bring
many welcome materials to our series. Much of this increase has
come through expeditions sponsored and largely financed by the
Smithsonian Institution and through gifts from our many friends
and collaborators. The department of biology receives always the
greatest number because of the variety found in this field, but the
smaller numbers of objects received in other departments represent
equal values to the collections to which they pertain.

New material was received in 1,713 separate accessions, with a
total of 312,729 specimens, distributed among the five departments
as follows: Anthropology, 2,162; biology, 244,761; geology, 60,927;
arts and industries, 2,297; and history, 2,582.

For examination and report 1,716 lots of specimens were received,
including a vast variety of objects. A part of these was returned
by request to the senders when studies were completed, a part was
consumed and destroyed during the process of examination and
analysis, and a part came as gifts to form additions to the Museum’s
permanent collections.

4 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

Gifts of duplicates to schools and other institutions numbered
4,969 specimens, among which were objects of many diverse kinds.
Exchange of duplicate materials with other institutions and individ-
uals totaled 21,627 specimens, and 18 specimens were transferred to
other governmental agencies. Loans for scientific study outside
Washington totaled 55,229 specimens, requiring a vast amount of
labor in their handling.

EXPLORATIONS AND FIELD WORK

The scientific explorations of the year by members of the Museum
staff were financed principally by grants from the private funds of
the Smithsonian Institution or by contributions from friends of the
Institution. The investigations were varied in nature and brought
highly important results in additions to scientific knowledge and in
contributions of specimens to the national collections.

During April and May 1938, Frank M. Setzler, head curator of
the department of anthropology, continued an archeological program
in the trans-Pecos area of southwestern Texas. Since 1931 Mr. Setz-
ler has been attempting, as opportunity permitted, to outline the
culture status of the aboriginal cave dwellers in the Big Bend region
of Texas. His previous excavations at the mouth of the Pecos con-
tributed largely to knowledge of the unusual physical types of this
primitive nonpottery-making group. This year, through the L. L.
Wilson Fund, he was enabled to excavate a large cave on the M. H.
Good ranch, 45 miles north of Dryden, in the northeast corner of
Terrell County. ‘Though the cave produced no skeletal material, the
9-foot deposits of burnt rocks and ashes contained sufficient aboriginal
artifacts to show a direct cultural relationship with regions to the
south and west in the Chisos Mountains and near Alpine. After
examining additional material from the Guadalupe Mountains in the
Carlsbad Archeological and Historical Society Museum, and a small
collection from caves around Albuquerque, N. Mex., Mr. Setzler con-
cludes that this prehistoric phase has a much wider distribution than
heretofore recognized, especially in the eastern part of New Mexico.
The exact period of occupation of these caves can only be surmised;
but since no evidence of European materials has been reported in

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 5

association with the sandals, baskets, and other artifacts, he concludes
that the caves were abandoned before any of the early Spanish ex-
plorers visited the area; since most of their material culture com-
prises baskets instead of earthenware vessels, they may have become
isolated before the manufacture of aboriginal pottery became so
widespread and indispensable among the prehistoric inhabitants in
either the Southwest or the Mississippi Valley. The chronological
relationship, if any exists, between the Big Bend Cave Dwellers and
the Basketmaker phase in northern New Mexico and Arizona as yet
remains undetermined,

On October 14 Herbert W. Krieger, curator of ethnology, sailed
from New York for Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, to conduct archeo-
logical investigations in the Virgin Islands under a grant from the
Smithsonian Institution. The expedition was undertaken as a result
of information conveyed by Robert Nichols, superintendent of agri-
culture of St. Thomas, to the effect that a large shell mound existed
on the Island of Anegada, the northernmost of the British Virgin
Islands. ‘The immediate objective was an exploration of the Anegada
mound, which required the cooperation of the United States Coast
Guard Service. W. C. Roy, agricultural officer of the British Virgin
Islands, familiar with the native population and the geography of
Anegada, joined the expedition at. Road Town, Tortola.

A survey of the shell mound led to the conclusion that the culture
represented was similar to that of other nonpottery-producing cul-
tures discovered on previous Smithsonian expeditions to the Domin-
ican Republic, Haiti, and Cuba. At the conclusion of the Anegada
survey a trial excavation was made of the Indian midden east of
Road Town on the Island of Tortola. Later, excavations were car-
ried out in considerable detail on the A. S. Fairchild property at
Magens Bay on the Island of St. Thomas, and also at Ackles on
United States Government property on the Island of St. Croix.

These investigations led to the discovery of three distinct cultures,
all of which may be of Arawak origin—the shell culture on the
Anegada site, the early Arawak culture type of the Road Town site
and to a certain extent of the Magens Bay area, and the late Arawak
culture of the Ackles site. An overlapping of the Arawak I and
Arawak II phases was strikingly illustrated in the excavations at
Magens Bay. A chronology of West Indian aboriginal cultures has
consequently assumed form. 'The sequence of the three main culture
types just indicated permits of the dovetailing as subcultures for
Arawak I (early Arawak) and for Arawak II (late Arawak) of
the material from certain sites in the Dominican Republic and Haiti
excavated by former Smithsonian expeditions from 1928 to 1931. It
is quite clear that the shell middens of the caves of the south shore of
Samana Bay (Smithsonian expedition, 1928) and of the Ile 4 Vache

6 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

shell midden (Smithsonian expedition, 1931) are culturally related
to the Anegada shell midden. The expedition to the Virgin Islands
thus has crystallized tentative conclusions with regard to the classi-
fication of West Indian culture sequences based on numerous investi-
gated sites.

Dr. Ale’ Hrdli¢ka, curator of physical anthropology, after a brief
stop at points in southeastern Alaska, spent the greater part of
June, July, and August 1937 in archeological investigations on the
Aleutian Islands. In this work he was assisted by the following
students: Sydney Conner, Paul Gebhardt, Paul Guggenheim, Alan G.
May, Stanley Seashore, and Walter R. Wineman. After reaching
the Aleutian Islands the party received permission to work in the
Commander Islands in Soviet territory, but because of unforeseen
circumstances the visit had to be very short. Although there was
little time for scientific work, enough information was gained to
encourage the arrangement for another visit. The Institution in
its northern work is once more deeply indebted to the United States
Coast Guard for its excellent cooperation, which made possible the
work not only in the Aleutian Islands but in the Commander group.
In 1928, again through the cooperation of the United States Coast
Guard, work was continued in the Aleutian Chain and was well under
way at the close of the fiscal year. Further account of it will be
made in the report for next year.

From the beginning of the fiscal year until September 13, 1937,
Dr. Waldo R. Wedel, assistant curator of archeology, was occupied
in an archeological survey in Kansas, beginning a long-term pro-
gram that is planned to cover a complete survey of the entire State
in an attempt to establish the outlines of the aboriginal Indian cul-
tures throughout that region. It should also reveal answers to some
of the puzzling problems relating to prehistoric cultures in the Mis-
sissippi Valley and in the Western Plains. By using early docu-
mentary accounts, some of the historic Indian sites can be definitely
identified, and thereby they may reveal a complex of material culture
traits that can be identified with their prehistoric antecedents. Dr.
Wedel’s investigations of 1937 included excavations at three village
sites along the bluffs of the Missouri River and above Kansas City
and two in the Kansas River Valley near Manhattan. In the prolific
site on Line Creek, northwest of Kansas City, evidences were found
of an extended occupation of prehistoric origin containing two
diagnostic types of earthenware vessels. One type has a general
cord-roughened decoration, while directly associated with it was a
superior ware bearing decorations closely comparable to the Hope-
wellian type of the Mississippi Valley and never before reported as
far west as Kansas City. An early Kansa Indian village was also
investigated near the old river town of Doniphan, Kans. This vil-

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 7

lage was visited by early explorers in 1724 and again by Lewis and
Clark in 1804. A few miles below the mouth of the Blue River a
circular house site was excavated in an old Kansa village visited and
described by Major Long’s expedition in 1819. Dr. Wedel again
resumed his explorations in Kansas on May 11, 1938, and was in the
field at the close of the fiscal year.

Since Judge W. J. Graham’s death on November 10, 1937, arrange-
ments have been made for Dr. T. Dale Stewart, assistant curator of
physical anthropology, to take over the excavations of an Indian
site at Potomac Creek, Va., and to advance the work from the point
reached by Judge Graham. During the latter part of the fiscal year
Dr. Stewart made several visits to the site for preliminary surveys.

Through the friendly cooperation of William N. Beach and J.
Watson Webb, the National Museum has obtained a valuable collec-
tion of large mammals from the Rainy Pass region beyond Mount
McKinley in Alaska. In preparation for this work pack horses
under charge of Harry Boyden were sent to Alaska in June. Mr.
Beach and Mr. Webb, accompanied by W. L. Brown, chief taxi-
dermist of the National Museum, arrived at McKinley Park Station
on the Alaska Railroad on the evening of August 13 and continued
through the park to join the pack outfit on the McKinley River.
Work in this field continued until the middle of September and re-
sulted in obtaining fine material, including accessories, for a habitat
group of moose, which will be mounted for exhibition. The largest
bull moose secured has a fine heavy set of horns with a spread of 65
inches. In addition, the party secured caribou and other mammals
and small birds much needed for the National Museum. The mem-
bers of the party were flown out by plane with their collections from
Tonzona Lake on September 14 and 15, which enabled them to get
out of this difficuit country before snow.

In continuation of work begun last year in West Virginia, Watson
M. Perrygo, scientific aide, made collections of birds and mammals
in Tennessee to obtain needed material for the National Museum.
Necessary permits were granted through the cordial cooperation of
Howell Buntin, director of game and fish, Tennessee Department of
Conservation, and other officials concerned with game, administration
of national forests, and State game preserves gave friendly assistance
in every way. Mr. Perrygo left for the field early in April accom-
panied by Carleton Lingebach as assistant and began work in the
Mississippi bottoms near Memphis. Work continued around Reel-
foot Lake, on the Cumberland Plateau, and in the high mountains
along the western border of the State, terminating on July 15 for
the summer. In mid-September the party left for the field again,
Mr. Lingebach being replaced by Henry R. Schaefer. The first
collections were made on Roan Mountain, one of the highest moun-

8 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

tains in the Eastern United States, having a summer-season tempera-
ture reputed to be the coldest of any in the entire Southeast. Follow-
ing this collections were made in the Clinch Mountains, and then
the party again visited the area about Reelfoot Lake to follow the
fall bird migration in that region. After further investigations in
the central and southern part of the State they returned to Washing-
ton the middle of November. The excellent collections of birds and
mammals secured will form the basis of reports similar to those
prepared for the work in West Virginia of last year. The work was
carried on under the W. L. Abbott Fund.

During October and November Dr. Alexander Wetmore, assistant
secretary, traveled in northwestern Venezuela to study the birds
through arrangements perfected under the friendly cooperation of the
American Minister, the Hon. Meredith Nicholson, and the gracious
assistance of Dr. E. Gil Borges, Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores of
Venezuela. In this work a survey was made of the bird life along a
line extending from Ocumare de la Costa on the sea coast through the
mountain range of the Cordillera de la Costa to Maracay, and from
there to the northern Llanos, in the vicinity of El Sombrero. In addi-
tion to securing an important collection of birds, Dr. Wetmore made
many observations on birds in life. He returned to Washington early
in December.

Capt. Robert A. Bartlett again visited the western coast of Green-
land during the summer of 1937 on his schooner, the Morrissey, and
secured important gatherings of marine animals that were presented
to the National Museum. Collections were made from Cape York
north by way of Northumberland and Hakluyt Islands to Smith
Sound, the expedition returning to New York on September 18.

Dr. D. C. Graham continued work in western China, forwarding
collections including many insects, as well as birds and other verte-
brates.

Dr. Charles E. Resser, curator of stratigraphic paleontology, studied
Cambrian rocks on the flanks of the Adirondack Mountains, in New
York and Vermont, and along the St. Lawrence River in Quebec,
making investigations in Pennsylvania en route. In addition to col-
lecting invertebrate fossils he checked the relations of the various
strata examined in connection with his work in the laboratory.

Dr. G. Arthur Cooper, assistant curator of stratigraphic paleontol-
ogy, accompanied by P. E. Cloud, returned early in the year from a
month’s investigations of the Devonian of Michigan. In the latter
half of September Dr. Cooper and Dr. Josiah Bridge visited the
Champlain Valley to study the Chazyan rocks, both trips yielding
excellent fossils. Dr. Cooper made a third trip in August, in com-
pany with Dr. Bradford Willard, of the Pennsylvania Topographic

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 9

and Geologic Survey, to study the Tully formation along the Alle-
gheny Front and from Lockhaven to the Schuylkill Valley.

E. P. Henderson, assistant curator of physical and chemical geology,
was abroad from early in May until October 1937. Two months were
occupied in attendance at the Seventeenth International Geological
Congress at Moscow, in visiting important museums, and in collecting
minerals in the Kola Peninsula and the Ural Mountains. During the
remaining time he traveled in Ceylon, studying the gem deposits
of that island, and in Japan visiting mineralogical institutions and
dealers from whom interesting specimens were obtained. Important
mineralogical and geological collections were made, but the more 1m-
portant results are the contacts and exchanges either made or pending
by which a large quantity of Russian, Norwegian, Swedish, Scottish,
and Japanese material will be received. While in England Mr. Hen-
derson secured by purchase several Rumanian minerals from one
dealer and Austrian minerals from another. Exchanges of meteorites
were arranged with the British Museum, and an exchange with the
Grant Institute of Scotland was initiated. In Norway Mr. Henderson
made contacts that resulted in the purchase of the largest and best
specimen of the rare mineral thortveitite ever to leave Norway, as well
as the gift of a very large specimen. Three exchanges were made with
various Russian museums, and relations were established under which
the National Museum will receive their new materials. Dealers were
interviewed in Japan, many outstanding mineral specimens obtained,
and arrangements made for acquiring some of the finest minerals to
leave Japan. Exchanges were arranged with the Imperial University,
Tokyo, and some newly described minerals obtained.

As the field expedition of 1937 under C. W. Gilmore, curator of
vertebrate paleontology, extended well into the present fiscal year,
only brief mention was made of it in last year’s report. This expedi-
tion in the Upper Cretaceous of the North Horn area in central Utah
and in the Triassic of the Petrified Forest region of Arizona met with
most gratifying results. The Utah area was a virgin field so far as
professional collecting was concerned, and the results attained fully
justified the venture. A good beginning was made in the develop-
ment of a fauna for the North Horn formation of the Upper Creta-
ceous, and a small collection of mammalian remains indicated for the
first time the presence of Paleocene strata in this geological section.
The finding of a large sauropod dinosaur skeleton in association with
Upper Cretaceous dinosaur remains is a discovery of much interest
and fully establishes the fact that this group of reptiles in North
America lived into the Upper Cretaceous. Most of the specimens
obtained are new toscience. From the Triassic of Arizona important
phytosaurian and amphibian remains were collected that go far in

10 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

filling gaps in our permanent collections. The collections obtained
filled 13 large cases having a combined weight of 5,729 pounds.
George F. Sternberg, as in previous seasons, rendered efficient assist-
ance, and George B. Pearce ably assisted as field assistant.

In May Dr. C. L. Gazin, assistant curator of vertebrate paleontol-
ogy, left Washington to head an expedition that will continue the
explorations in central Utah so auspiciously begun last season. This
will be followed by work in the Upper Eocene deposits of the Uinta
Basin.

In May Dr. Alexander Wetmore, Assistant Secretary, as repre-
sentative of the Smithsonian Institution and chairman of the official
delegation of the United States, attended the Ninth International
Ornithological Congress, held in Rouen, France. At the close of the
meetings it was voted to hold the next Congress, which will come in
1942, in the United States. Dr. Wetmore was then elected President.
Following the meetings he visted museums and laboratories in Swit-
zerland, particularly in Bern and Basel, and later worked at the
British Museum (Natural History) in London.

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 88. Owing to transfers and new assignments, this
number fluctuated somewhat, but increased slowly until at the close
of the year 167 were so engaged. Man-hours for the period July 1,
1937, to June 30, 1938, totaled 130,205. For the Federal art project
the man-hours totaled 1,125, making the grand total of man-hours for
both projects 131,330.

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, check-
ing, 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 1n work that had been accumulating over a long period
owing to the inadequacy of our regular staff. The project proceeded
smoothly, not only as a result of the efficient organization now devel-
oped but also because many of the workers had gained experience

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ll

from the previous year. The District of Columbia Works Progress
Administration Office continued its excellent cooperation in the selec-
tion and assignment of new workers.

At the close of the year 167 workers were on duty from the Works
Progress Administration and 1 from the Federal art project.

EDUCATIONAL WORK

The National Museum during the year continued its customary
activities in educational lines. Our exhibition halls display great
series of objects so arranged as to demonstrate facts of many kinds,
on subjects ranging from the tools and dress of primitive man to
complicated modern machinery, examples of the life of strange lands,
of the elements that compose the earth, fossil animals and plants of
former ages, and many other things. Descriptive labels accompany
all these, and there is constant change to keep them properly ar-
ranged and up to date. The whole serves as a compendium of refer-
ence to the student or as an attractive display to the one of more
casual interest, from which all may prcfit according 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

Since the year 1932-33, when a low point was reached, presumably
as a result of unfavorable economic conditions, the number of visitors
to the various Museum buildings has steadily mounted. This year
there were 119,638 more visitors than last, bringing the total up
to 2,408,170, which is our greatest annual attendance to date. The
426,429 visitors during July 1987 is the largest number ever recorded
for a single month.

The average attendance for weekdays was 6,633 and for Sundays
6,643. The number of visitors to the Smithsonian Building on week-
days totaled 311,239 and on Sundays 60,531; to the Arts and Indus-
tries Building 931,011 on weekdays and 163,243 on Sundays; to the

LIBRARY

The library of the National Museum, with its 95,171 volumes and
115,539 pamphlets, chiefly on natural science and technology, is of
great importance in the Smithsonian library system. It consists of
2 major and 35 minor units, each closely related to the interests of the
Museum. The collection was increased during the year by 2,639
volumes, 9,160 parts of volumes, and 929 pamphlets—a total of 12,728
publications.

A generous number of these were presented by the scientific staff,
the Smithsonian Institution, and the Library of Congress, as well as
by friends of the Museum outside the Government. Among the last
were Mrs. Walter Hough and Mrs. Frederick V. Coville, who added
to their previous gifts many items from the libraries of the late Dr.
Hough and Dr. Coville. But most of the accessions came by ex-
change. In fact, there were more large exchange sendings than usual
of material needed in the important sets.

In connection with the exchange work of the library, the Smith-
sonian duplicates were thoroughly searched, and hundreds of special
letters were written, with the gratifying result that 2,821 volumes
and parts were obtained—an increase of 363 over the year before.

The number of new exchanges arranged was 140. Thus again
notable progress was made toward completing the standard files that

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 13

are indispensable in the work of the curators. This was particularly
fortunate inasmuch as the sum available for the purchase of books
and periodicals called for by the scientists is far too small to meet
their needs. Books secured by loan for the curatorial staff in their
official work totaled 2,239, of which the greater number came from
the Library of Congress, the Department of Agriculture, the Geologi-
cal Survey, and the Army Medical Museum and Library.

In the course of the year the staff entered 9,300 periodicals, cata-
loged 2,912 publications, and added 14,896 cards to the catalogs and
shelf lists. They sent to the sectional libraries for filing 4,080 publi-
cations and loaned to the curators 10,459. They returned to the
Library of Congress 1,944 volumes and to other libraries 394. They
prepared for the bindery 494 volumes. They filed 492 Wistar Institute
cards and spent some time clarifying doubtful points in the author
cards of the Concilium Bibliographicum. They finished cataloging
the sectional library of botany and began that of administration.
They continued the very important task of reading the shelves and
revising the records of the serial sets of foreign institutions and
societies, so that by the close of the year they had completed those
of Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark, and
Finland. They also continued the scanning of nontechnical journals
for scientific articles that might otherwise have escaped the notice of
the curators concerned, and the inventorying of the technological
library, making changes when necessary in the catalog and shelf list.
They also assisted in supervising the work of several W. P. A. em-
ployees. Finally, they rendered noteworthy reference and _biblio-
graphical service to the scientific staff, to inquirers in other branches
of the Government, and to correspondents outside of Washington.

The 35 sectional libraries remained unchanged, as follows:

14 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

Early in the fiscal year another installment. of steel stacks was set
up in the east gallery of the third floor of the Arts and Industries
Building. It is hoped that the fourth and final installment can be
purchased soon, to take the place of the present wooden shelving in
the room adjoining the east gallery. But even more acute than this
is the need for increased shelf room for the main natural-history
collection. Another need, which has grown urgent the past year, is.
that of an adequate fund for binding. Owing to the recent advance
in the cost of binding, the sum alloted for this purpose should be
correspondingly larger than at present if the library is to protect.
and preserve its material, much of which, if it were lost, could be
replaced, if at all, only at considerable expense.

Two changes occurred in the permanent staff. Mrs. George C.
Rodgers, senior stenographer, resigned and the position was filled.
by the transfer of Miss Nancy Alice Link from the Bureau of In-
ternal Revenue. Joseph A. Salat, Jr., assistant messenger, accepted
appointment elsewhere and was succeeded by Clyde E. Bauman, who.
was transferred from the United States Naval Academy.

PUBLICATIONS AND PRINTING

There was allotted $30,000 for the fiscal year 1937-88 for the pub-
lications needs of the National Museum. Of this, $3,000 was used.
for binding, $3,000 for the Museum printer’s salary, and $3,000 as a.
10 percent compulsory budget deduction, leaving $21,000 for the:
printing of the Annual Report, Bulletins, and Proceedings. Twenty-
six publications were issued—the Annual Report, 1 volume of Pro-.
ceedings completed, 5 Bulletins, and 19 separate Proceedings papers..
These made a total of 1,640 octavo pages and 242 plates, an increase:
of 36 pages and 107 plates over last year. They are listed at the-
end of this report.

On February 18 and 19, 1988, the Museum editor, Paul H. Oehser,.
represented the Smithsonian Institution at a joint meeting of the:
American Philosophical Society with representatives of organiza-
tions concerned with the publication of research held in Philadelphia..

The distribution of volumes and separates to libraries and indi-.
viduals on the regular mailing lists aggregated 45,552 copies, while-
in addition 12,209 copies of publications issued during this and
previous years were supplied in response to special requests. The:
mailing lists have been carefully revised to avoid loss in distribution.

During the year 687,286 forms, labels, and other items were printed,.
and 494 books were bound.

Indexing. —Little time was available during the year, because of a.
full publication program, for work on the index of Museum publica--
tions, begun 5 years ago. The index is now complete through Bulle--
tin 47 and Proceedings volume 17.

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 15

The editor prepared the index for volume 84 of the Proceedings
and for Bulletin 170, “Life Histories of North American Birds of
Prey: Part 2, Falconiformes and Strigiformes.” The editorial clerk,
Miss Gladys O. Visel, partially completed the index for Bulletin 100,

volume 6.
PHOTOGRAPHIC LABORATORY

The photographic laboratory, under the direction of Dr. A. J.
Olmsted, made 20,119 prints, 4,290 negatives, 709 lantern slides, 475
enlargements, and 9 transparencies; developed 95 rolls, 23 film packs,
and 43 cut films; and mounted 7 maps. This work included, in
addition to that done for the Smithsonian proper and the National
Museum, photographic needs of the Bureau of American Ethnology
and the National Collection of Fine Arts, supplied through a co-
operative arrangement.

The laboratory is now equipped with a photorecording machine
for copying letters and pages of books onto 35 mm film. As color
photography continues to develop, additional facilities in this field
are being provided. Color transparencies and negatives are now
being produced with very satisfactory results.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT

Repairs and alterations.—Most of the work of building repair and
maintenance was of a routine nature. Considerable repainting was
accomplished in all the buildings, particularly the Smithsonian Build-
ing following last year’s rewiring project. It was necessary to de-
vise a way to repel pigeons and starlings from roosting on the tops
of the stone columns of the south portico of the Natural History
Building. Galvanized sheet iron with galvanized coated nails was
attached to the tops at considerable trouble. Air-conditioning equip-
ment was installed in the Secretary’s office in the Smithsonian Build-
ing. The offices and laboratory of the division of graphic arts were
thoroughly remodeled. The taxidermist shop in the south shed was
repaired, fireproofed, and otherwise renovated.

Heat, light, and power—During the year 59,342,000 pounds of
steam were used for heating the group of museum buildings. This
was furnished by the Government’s Central Heating Plant and repre-
sents a slight, increase over last year. More electric current, too,
was used this year than last, the total kilowatt-hours being 1,382,000.
The problem of obtaining additional electric supply becomes more
serious each year, and it will soon be imperative either to increase the
number of cables entering the Natural History Building or procure
alternating current service. The Smithsonian buildings are prac-
tically the only Government group in Washington not using alternat-

16 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

ing current, which may be purchased at more economical rates than
direct current.

Ice production—The refrigerating machine for manufacturing ice
for the Museum buildings was operated 3,675 hours during the year,
producing 396 tons of ice at the rate of $1.4514 a ton.

Fire protection—The most important improvement in fire pro-
tection was the provision of an adequate water supply for the Natural
History Building, as the result of a special appropriation of $10,450
for the purpose. A new 8-inch water main was run from Constitu-
tion Avenue and a new distribution pipe line was installed for the
fire-hose connections. In addition, all the fire hose, which had been
in use since the building was first occupied in 1910, was replaced with
new.

Elimination of fire hazards called for the remodeling of the taxi-
dermist shop in the south shed; removal of a large quantity of
inflammable material; and the fire-proofing and remodeling of the
Smithsonian post office.

All the fire-protection apparatus was periodically tested and in-
spected during the year.

Furniture and fixtuwres—The furniture added during the year in-
cluded 10 exhibition cases; 357 pieces of storage, office, and laboratory
furniture; and 235 drawers. Equipment condemned and disposed of
consisted of 48 exhibition cases and bases; 104 pieces of storage, office,
and laboratory furniture; and 77 boxes, drawers, and frames. An
inventory of furniture on hand June 30, 1938, showed 3,688 exhibition
cases; 18,899 pieces of storage, office, and laboratory furniture; and
110,661 drawers, boxes, and frames of various kinds.

MEETINGS AND SPECIAL EXHIBITS

Scientific, educational, and welfare organizations are allowed the
use of the auditorium and lecture room of 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
such meetings were held, including conferences and conventions by the
following organizations: Eastern States Archeological Federation,
Geological Society of America, United States Children’s Bureau, and
United States Tariff Commission. Noteworthy also were lectures by
Raymond De Frees on “Eclipses of the Sun and Moon”; William
Marks Simpson on “Making of Coins and Medals”; Dr. Ales Hrdli¢ka
on “Archeological Field Work in Alaska”; C. W. Gilmore on “Collect-
ing and Preparing Dinosaurs”; Dr. Harlan True Stetson on “The Sun
and the Atmosphere”; and Dr. Marcus Barbeau on “How Totem Poles
Originated.” In addition, a special meeting of the American Pharma-

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR £7

ceutical Association was held on the evening of March 21 in the section
of medicine, Arts and Industries Building.

Special exhibits —The foyer and adjacent space of the Natural His-
tory Building were occupied almost continuously during the year with
a series of 17 special exhibits conducted under the auspices of various
educational, scientific, and governmental agencies, as follows:

June 7 to July 26, 1987: Exhibition of elementary aircraft, consisting of ancient
and modern kites and boomerangs from the National Museum collections.

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

CoNSIDERABLE progress was made in the department of anthro-
pology during the fiscal year along the lines of better care of collec-
tions, in building temporary and permanent exhibits, and especially
in explorations and research. Perishable specimens, both in the vast
study series and on public display, received constant attention in
order to prevent deterioration.

Three temporary exhibits were arranged in the foyer of the Nat-
ural History Building for a period of a month each during the
autumn and winter by the divisions in the department. Period arts
and textile collections were reinstalled to make a much improved and
more colorful display of articles forming part of a permanent ex-
hibit hall in the northwest wing on the second floor.

The department, through various private funds of the Smith-
sonian Institution, was enabled to inaugurate and also to continue
archeological explorations in Alaska, the Virgin Islands, Kansas,
and Missouri, Texas, and along the Potomac River in Maryland and
Virginia. During April and May, 1938, Frank M. Setzler excavated
a large cave on the M. H. Goode ranch in northeastern Terrell County,
Tex., to further an archeological program begun in 1931. During
July and August 1937 Dr. Ales’ Hrdli¢ka visited 10 of the Aleutian
Islands and was fortunate in being able to spend a few days on the
Commander Islands, U. S. S. R. From the middle of October 1937
to January 1938 Herbert W. Krieger resumed the Institution’s
archeological studies in the West Indies, where investigations were
limited this year to the Virgin Island group including the islands
of Anegada, St. Thomas, and St. Croix. From July to September
1937 Dr. Waldo R. Wedel inaugurated an archeological survey of
Kansas, excavating three village sites along the bluffs of the Mis-
souri River above Kansas City and two in the Kansas valley near
Manhattan. The results obtained exceeded all expectations, and Dr.
Wedel returned to this vicinity the middle of May 1938 for additional
data from this significant and interesting area. Dr. T. Dale Stewart
continued his anthropological investigations on the skeletal material
obtained largely by Mrs. A. L. L. Ferguson from an important vil-
lage at Accokeek, Md.; also on material obtained by the late Judge
W. J. Graham from a site at Potomac Creek, Stafford County, Va.

20

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 21

Explorations at the latter site will be continued by Dr. Stewart.
Whenever routine Museum duties permitted, research on these and
previous explorations was furthered by the scientific staff. Con-
siderable time was devoted to cooperating with other Government
agencies. Without the assistance rendered by workers provided
through the Works Progress Administration, especially in the divi-
sions now understaffed, these results could never be obtained.

ACCESSIONS

During the year the department received 125 accessions covering a
total of 2,162 specimens. This is an increase of 372 over the number
received in 1937. This total includes all specimens received as gifts,
deposits, and transfers from outside departments and friends of
the Institution, but does not include many more actually received
but still under study by staff members. These will not be officially
tabulated until the material has been turned over to the respective
divisions. The 125 accessions were assigned to the following divi-
sions and sections within the department: Archeology, 83 accessions
(900 specimens) ; ethnology, 51 accessions (562 specimens) ; physical
anthropology, 14 accessions (555 specimens) ; ceramics, 11 accessions
(78 specimens) ; musical instruments, 6 accessions (10 specimens) ;
and period art and textiles, 10 accessions (57 specimens).

Archeology.—TYhe division of archeology received 33 accessions,
totaling 900 specimens, an increase of 593 over the same period in
1937. Five (186 specimens) were obtained from the Old World.
Some of the more important materials are: 93 complete vessels and
fragments from Honduras, the Institution’s share of material ob-
tained by the 1936 joint expedition with the Peabody Museum of
Harvard University; 78 Stone, Bronze, and Iron Age objects from
Denmark, an exchange with the Danish National Museum; 77 earth-
enware, alabaster, and bronze artifacts from Egypt, Cyprus, and
Italy, presented by Miss Annie-May Hegeman; 29 Neolithic stone im-
plements from the Union of South Africa, donated by Wilfrid C.
Abbott, of Capetown; replica of a sculptured head from Temple 22
at Copan, Honduras, a gift from the Carnegie Institution of Wash-
ington; 9 pottery vessels and fragments from Gasparilla Sound,
Charlotte County, Fla., presented by Montague Tallant; 90 stone
projectile points, copper beads and pins, shell beads, and vessels
from the Temple Mound in Le Flore County, Okla., donated by J. G.
Braecklein.

Ethnology.—In the division of ethnology 51 accessions, totaling 562
specimens, were received. The following specimens were noteworthy:
Two carved elephant tusks mounted on a decorated teakwood base,
given by Dr. Ambrose Swasey. The carvings illustrate the Buddhist

22 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

legend concerning King Weythandaya and his wife, Queen Madi,
which was selected and executed by the Burmese artist, Maung Kin.
As in previous years, C. C. Roberts donated numerous objects of
native art and craft from West Africa, consisting of idols and images
of carved wood from the Belgian Congo and a series of goldsmith’s
weights of cast brass from the Ashanti group of the Gold Coast.
Various objects came from the Eskimo in Alaska and the Hudson
Bay region. Mrs. Charles D. Walcott presented a twined baleen
basket embossed with carved ivory, from Point Barrow, Alaska;
Father Artheme Dutilly, of Catholic University, gave numerous ob-
jects, such as lance and harpoon heads, knives, combs, marrow extrac-
tors, drills, skin scrapers, and dice, carved from ivory and bone,
obtained in an abandoned Eskimo site near Hudson Bay. The eth-
nological collections from Southwestern United States were aug-
mented by a double-weave saddle blanket acquired from the Navaho
in 1898 by D. I. Bushnell, Jr., and donated to the Museum by him.
A collection of baskets, beadwork, pottery, and blankets made by
some of the Pueblo and Navaho tribes came as a gift from Mrs.
Benjamin H. Frayser. Thirty-one examples of old Ojibwa beadwork
in the form of pouches, leggings, moccasins, and fans were received
from Thomas G. Shearman. Miss Annie-May Hegeman donated a
pair of bronze candelabra which belonged to the period of the first
Napoleonic Empire and were signed by Thomire, a welcome addition
to the collections dealing with heating and lighting instruments.

The section of ceramics emphasizes antique glass, porcelain, china-
ware, and the more general fictile art manufactured in the United
States, Europe, and Asia. Although it is not a strictly anthropologi-
cal discipline, nevertheless the roots for most of this handicraft go
back to man’s simple beginnings, and for this reason it is adminis-
tered by the division of ethnology. Eleven accessions containing 78
specimens were received in the section, including particularly a Parian
pitcher given by Henry F. Nesbitt and sisters, and a collection con-
taining Bohemian double glass, American Rookwood pottery, English
Crown Derby, Wedgwood, Venetian glass, and Irish Belleek porcelain,
loaned by Mrs. F. W. Mahin.

The section of musical instruments in the department is unique.
The historical development and scope includes specimens from all
over the world. The varied cultural aspects makes it outstanding
among museum collections. Six accessions of 10 specimens were
added during the year. These include a sixteenth century Italian
lute, an Italian lyre-shaped harp, and other forms of European instru-
ments donated by Miss Annie-May Hegeman. E. F. Droop and Sons
Co. gave a Swiss music box, mounted on a veneered cabinet, made by
C. Paillard et Cie. Stephen Waterman presented a C. F. Martin
guitar made in New York about 1850.

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 23

The section of period art and textiles embraces, for the most part,
embroideries, tapestries, and lace representing European period art
textiles from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries. This section
received 10 accessions totaling 57 specimens as compared to 43 speci-
mens in the previous year. Here again we are indebted to Miss
Annie-May Hegeman for a noteworthy collection of hand-woven and
embroidered shawls and scarfs from Kashmir, India. A Bulgarian
pillow lace-making ensemble was donated by Mrs. F. W. Mahin
through Lt. Col. F. C. Mahin. A sterling silver caster made by
Thomas Warner, of Baltimore, and a collection of salt dishes by J. E.
Caldwell, Philadelphia, in 1850, were received as a bequest of Caro-
line H. Addison. Joseph H. Himes presented a carved ivory jewel
box, an example of early German workmanship.

Physical anthropology.—In the division of physical anthropology
14 accessions totaling 555 specimens were received during the year.
These are especially important because of their scientific value based
on the fact that practically all the material came from selected sites
and was obtained by specialists directly interested in its anthropo-
logical significance. As in the past, most of the skeletal collections
came from Alaska. Two hundred and ninety-one specimens were
obtained by Dr. AleS Hrdli¢ka during his field explorations; through
Dr. Hrdlicka Father Fox gave five from Hooper Bay, and O. J.
Murie collected four from two islands in the Aleutians. <A total of
227 were obtained by friends of the Institution. The late Judge
W. J. Graham gave 144 from an Indian site at Potomac Creek, Staf-
ford County, Va.; Mrs. A. L. L. Ferguson presented the contents of
an ossuary containing 67 specimens from another important Indian
site at. Accokeek, Md., while Nicholas Yinger donated 16 specimens
from the Hughes site along the Potomac River north of the District
of Columbia near Poolesville, Md. A set of casts representing Homo
modjokertensis and Homo soloensis I-XI was received through an
exchange arranged by the Museum’s division of paleontology with
the Mining and Geological Survey Department in the Netherlands
East Indies.

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

The three divisions under the department of anthropology individ-
ually prepared temporary exhibits that were displayed each for one
month in the foyer of the Natural History Building. Although these
special exhibits required considerable time on the part of the curators,
they were successful in portraying certain phases of the work in con-
nection with the respective divisions.

During September the division of ethnology used the entire foyer
to show portraits of some of the more important Indians painted by
such well-known artists as George Catlin, John White, C. B. King,

24. REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

J. M. Stanley, E. W. Deming, E A. Burbank, and J. H. Sharp. The
chronological arrangement of the pictures indicated the wealth of
material now in the study series of ethnological collections.

During November a large collection of archeological and skeletal
material from Kodiak Island and other important sites in Alaska
was placed on exhibition by the division of physical anthropology—
the result of explorations directed by Dr. AleS Hrdli¢ka since 1926.

From October 18 to November 5, 1937, a few paintings by Gilberto
Antolinez, a Venezuelan artist using motifs from prehistoric pottery
decorations, were exhibited under the sponsorship of Senora de
Escobar Saluzzo and the Pan American Union.

The division of archeology, in cooperation with the Pan American
Union, directed the installation of a unique exhibit showing speci-
mens of exceptional artistic merit and scientific interest from Vene-
zuela, Ecuador, and Peru, from the collections of Dr. Rafael Requena
and Dr. Ernesto Franco. The exhibit was formally opened by the
ambassadors and ministers of the South American countries repre-
sented in the collections. During December this display attracted
the attention of 3,563 visitors.

Archeology.—Minor changes only have been made in the perma-
nent archeological exhibits during the year. A few specimens were
added to State collections in the American hall. In the hall of Old
World archeology a series of ancient Greek pottery was condensed in
order to accommodate several additions. Ancient coins, occupying
two table cases, were removed in anticipation of transfer to the divi-
sion of history. Fifteen watercolor reproductions of Upper Paleo-
lithic art in Spanish caves were placed on exhibit for the first time,
and a cast of the famous Bison of Tuc d’Audoubert, modeled in clay
by a Paleolithic artist and discovered in 1912 near Saint-Girons,
Ariége, France, was moved to a better-lighted section of the hall.

Laboratory tables were continuously occupied by collections being
prepared for current or future accessioning. The William J. Graham
collection from Potomac Creek, Va., presented by Mrs. Graham under
date of April 5, 1938, was sorted by R. G. Paine and arranged for
cataloging. Preliminary repairs on the pottery collected in 1936
by the Smithsonian-Peabody Museum Expedition to Honduras re-
quired much laboratory time and space during the fiscal year. In
this latter undertaking the staff was assisted during July 1937 by
Richard Woodbury, a student of anthropology at Harvard Univer-
sity. All minor accessions received during the year have been
cataloged.

Hthnology.—tThe substitution of a number of modern dust-proof
cases in the hall of period art and textiles is noteworthy in connec-
tion with the preservation and the appropriate display of art textile

exhibits. Simultaneously there was a complete rearrangement of
specimens in that section due to the removal of biological exhibits
to the west half of the hall. Opportunity was also taken by mem-
bers of the staff, in connection with the shifting of individual exhibits,
to rearrange, classify, and label collections and individual specimens
when necessary. This rearrangement has greatly improved the ex-
hibits and effected a more attractive and colorful display. At the
same time the following new exhibits were added in this hall: Euro-
pean repoussé and period silver; porcelain figures from the Meissen
factory at Dresden; embroidered fabrics from Turkey and the Near
East; embroidered and hand-woven woolen fabrics from Kashmir,
India; collections of European hand-made laces from the sixteenth
to nineteenth centuries; and examples of Spanish, French, and early
Italian brocades, velvets, and embroideries. Similarly, new labels
were prepared for the ethnological exhibits, ceramics, and musical
instruments as occasion required and time permitted.

New exhibits added to ethnology include a collection of fabrics
with brocaded, painted, and decorated designs, from Japan, deposited
by Mrs. Charles D. Walcott, and a collection consisting of Tibetan
jewelry, presented by Mrs. Kate S. Freeman-Marsh, which now ap-
pear in the center of the Asiatic hall.

Exhibits in the ceramic hall were enriched through the addition
of a collection of Wedgwood and hitherto unrepresented old English
Bristol glass. The exhibit of early Venetian blown glass was en-
larged, and material was added to the exhibit of Sandwich glass.
Several of the exhibits as originally installed in the ceramic gallery
were unclassified and were presented to the public as a unit exhibit
primarily on the basis of their accession in the Museum as a gift
or loan from one individual. Considerable time was spent by the
staff in correcting and reclassifying such exhibits.

Reinstallation of all types of musical instruments other than key-
board instruments on the third fioor of the rotunda has been prac-
tically completed.

The division’s clerk-stenographer, Miss Vendla Hendrickson, in
addition to her routine duties, has completed the subject index of
Smithsonian anthropological literature. This has already proved
highly useful in connection with the many routine letters of inquiry.
Other indices recently completed deal with such subjects as historic
Bibles and religious manuscripts, laces, fans, American Indian weav-
ings, and keyboard instruments in the national collections arranged
according to country of origin. The entering of current material
in indices and catalogs, such as a catalog of paintings, catalog of
photograph negative numbers, and the accession index cards, has been
kept up to date.

26 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

Progress with study collections has been marked and accomplished
primarily with the aid of a W. P. A. preparator and a stenographer-
clerk. An adequate number of new-type storage cases and other
facilities were provided by the Museum. The W. P. A. preparator
assigned to the division was engaged throughout the year in arrang-
ing specimens in their proper locations.

Physical anthropology.—Besides the special exhibit during Novem-
ber, previously mentioned, a new case of exhibits was arranged show-
ing the casts of primitive Javanese skulls received recently. An-
other case, showing the smallest and largest normal crania in the
division collections, is now exhibited in the foyer of the Museum.

The W. P. A. workers, after numbering the foot bones of the
Huntington collection, as noted in the last annual report, have taken
up successively the humeri and tibiae of the same collection. In
addition, they have cataloged the current small accessions as they
were prepared. The W. P. A. artist is engaged in making drawings
of specimens obtained by the curator on Kodiak Island.

Recently the storage space of the division on the fourth (attic)
floor of the rotunda has been substantially increased. By moving all
the Florida collections into this space, the remaining collections have
been made much more accessible. Even with this additional space,
the work of the division is still somewhat handicapped through the
necessity of stacking the drawers instead of having them in racks.

Anthropological laboratory.—A considerable amount of restoration
and repair as well as the completion of new projects was accomplished
in the anthropological laboratory. Two hundred and ninety-six
pieces of aboriginal earthenware vessels were restored. These long-
delayed restorations were made possible largely through the assist-
ance of skilled workmen from the Works Progress Administration.
At the same time the regular staff of the laboratory completed the
following assignments: 32 wooden bowls and miscellaneous specimens
from the Aleutian Islands were dehydrated, treated with preserva-
tives, restored, and painted; 3 plaster heads of African Negroes were
restored and bronzed, as well as 4 plaster casts of Pygmy heads; a
large cast of a sculptured head from Temple 22, Copan, Honduras,
was painted to match the original; 5 Indian baskets from The Dalles
in Oregon were repaired; 2 large casts of Indian villages were re-
paired; the turquoise settings on 2 silver pendants were remounted.
The chief preparator and his assistant besides directing the above
work completed seven plaster busts from facial masks. These were
modeled, cast, and bronzed, illustrating the racial variations between
selected American Whites, American Indians, and American Negroes.
This extensive series will comprise a valuable addition to exhibits in
the division of physical anthropology. Nine other busts were par-

tially completed at the close of the year. Numerous repairs and casts
were also made for other departments in the Museum and outside
Government agencies.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

A short paper dealing with general archeological problems in the
United States was completed by the head curator of anthropology in
collaboration with Dr. Julian Steward, of the Bureau of American
Ethnology. As time permitted, his research was directed toward the
publication of the results of the Smithsonian—C. W. A. archeological
explorations at the Peachtree Mound and village site near Murphy,
N. C., and of his own explorations at Marksville, La. En route to
cave explorations in Texas, Mr. Setzler studied archeological collec-
tions from the Big Bend area in southwestern Texas at the Witte
Memorial Museum in San Antonio and similar collections at the
museum of the West Texas Historical and Scientific Society, Sul Ross
State Teachers College, in Alpine, Tex. While visiting various arche-
ological sites in New Mexico he took the opportunity to examine
anthropological collections at the Carlsbad Archaeological and His-
torical Society Museum at Carlsbad, the University of New Mexico’s
Department of Archaeology and Anthropology Museum in Albu-
querque, and the Laboratory of Anthropology in Santa Fe, N. Mex.
Numerous conferences and consultations were devoted to archeologi-
cal problems in connection with the Works Progress Administration
and the National Park Service’s Branch of Historic Sites. Upon
request, suggestions were also offered with regard to the Irene Mound
project near Savannah and the Ocmulgee National Monument at
Macon, Ga.; Jamestown Island excavations, Virginia; and the large
Tennessee Valley Authority archeological explorations in southern
Tennessee and northern Alabama.

Archeology.—The curator, Neil M. Judd, continued with prepara-
tion of his report on the material culture of Pueblo Bonito. The
assistant curator, Dr. Waldo R. Wedel made progress on his study
of artifacts from Tulamniu, an old Yokuts village site near Taft,
Calif., and also completed several preliminary reports on his explora-
tions in Kansas.

During the year 53 lots of archeological material were received
for examination and report and subsequently returned to the owners.

Upon invitation from the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mr.
Judd attended a conference on Early Man in Southeastern Asia at
the Institution on May 13, 1938. En route to his summer’s researches
in Kansas, Assistant Curator Wedel visited the Milwaukee Public
Museum, the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, and the
Missouri Historical Society, St. Louis.

28 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

Hihnology.—The curator of ethnology, Herbert W. Krieger, con-
tinued, as time permitted, studies of collections made in recent years
on expeditions to prehistoric sites in the valley of the Columbia River
in Washington and Oregon, and also in the Greater and Lesser An-
tilles. These investigations have resulted in one publication, a brief
account of the expedition to the British and American Virgin Islands.

The associate curator, Henry B. Collins, Jr., continued his research
on collections of Eskimo material excavated by him at prehistoric
sites in Alaska on recent expeditions. This work resulted in two
comprehensive publications of an important nature. In August he
visited the National Museum of Canada at Ottawa to study the
Eskimo collections from the Bering Strait and Hudson Bay regions.

Outside investigators were interested in a variety of collections in
the division. Notable among the objects studied were the Walcott
collection of replicas of Navaho sand paintings, ancient and modern
textiles, the technology of the North American Indian, the Mongo-
han composite bow, the narrow loom weavings of the northern
Woodlands and eastern Indian tribes, the belt loom weavings of the
Pueblo Indians, head dresses of the Plains Indian tribes, West In-
dian basketry and Voodoo. fetishes, fishing boats and devices of
Oceania, and economic life in Micronesia, the historical collection of
Kuropean stringed instruments, upright pianos, fire-making appa-
ratus of primitive peoples, American glass, and historic Bibles and
manuscripts.

Assistance was given the Index of American Design, the Bureau
of Public Roads, the Office of Indian Affairs, the National Park
Service, the Post Office Department in the appraisal of antiques dam-
aged in the mails, the Department of Justice in the identification of
stolen antiques, the Arts and Crafts Board in photographing de-
signs on pottery, sculptures in wood, and other patterned objects,
and the Office of Education in preparing data for radio script on
the Eskimo, on laces and embroideries, on primitive music, and on
the potter’s art. Aid also was given to attorneys and other inter-
ested parties in connection with pending patent-infringement suits
in which type specimens of keyboard instruments are of prime im-
portance, and to a motion-picture company in photographing fire-
making devices and primitive torches, candles, and lamps.

Twenty-nine lots of material received for examination were re-
turned to owners with reports as to their identification.

Physical anthropology.—The curator of physical anthropology,
Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, devoted a large part of the year to the examina-
tion of the skeletal remains from Alaska, especially the Aleutian
Islands. In addition, he undertook the preparation of a report on
the stone lamps of Kodiak Island. He also assembled further data
on the normal growth of the head during adult life.

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 29

The research of the assistant curator, Dr. T. Dale Stewart, con-
sisted primarily of his studies on the Labrador Eskimo and Potomac
River Indians. He also has in the course of preparation three papers
dealing with the physical type of the bearers of the Hopewell cul-
ture in Missouri; accessory sacro-iliac articulations in the higher
primates and their significance; and Negro skeletal remains from
Indian sites in the West Indies. While in Cleveland during April
he spent some time at Western Reserve University examining the
anthropoid skeletal collections in connection with his studies of acces-
sory sacro-iliac articulations.

Prof. C. J. Connolly, of the Catholic University of America, con-
tinued his study of the brain. Assistance in the identification of
bones has been given during the course of the year, as in other years,
to the Department of Justice and to numerous private individuals.

Nine lots of material were received for identification through of-
ficial channels.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

During the year 112 archeological specimens and numerous photo-
graphs were sent as gifts to educational institutions; 148 specimens
were sent to museums in exchange for other anthropological speci-
mens; 154 objects were lent to museums and colleges and other Gov-
ernment departments for temporary exhibitions; 237 pseudoarcheo-
logical specimens and natural forms were condemned; 396 were
withdrawn from the department; and 25 were transferred to other
divisions and departments in the Museum.

NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DEPARTMENT

The total number of specimens in the department on June 30, 1938,
was 686,781. This represents an increase of 1,258 specimens. Actu-
ally a larger number were received, but this figure represents the net
gain after the necessary deductions had been made for those speci-
mens removed during the same period. The following summary indi-
cates the distribution in the various divisions and sections under the

department:

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY
(LEONHARD STEJNEGER, Head Curaior)

Tue favorable condition of the biological collections—except for
crowding caused by lack of sufficient space—as regards preservation
and routine business is credited largely to the assistance rendered by
Works Progress Administration workers. Accumulations of arrear-
ages caused by the inadequacy of the regular staff have been greatly
reduced, and subsidiary work, which for lack of suitable personnel
had not been attempted, has now been initiated.

Field work by members of the staff has included continuation of the
zoological exploration of the Appalachian region. W. M. Perrygo
collected in Tennessee during 1937, and at the end of the fiscal year
was engaged in selected localities in Kentucky. Dr. L. P. Schultz
and E. D. Reid investigated the fish fauna of the river systems of
Virginia. A. H. Clark continued study of the butterflies of that State.
An expedition undertaken by William N. Beach and J. Watson Webb
to Alaska for the purpose of collecting material for a new moose
group, as well as specimens of caribou and other mammals, was ac-
companied by W. L. Brown, chief taxidermist, and was crowned with
eminent success. Dr. A. Wetmore, during a month’s travel in Vene-
zuela, added very materially to the collections of birds of the Museum.
The National Geographic Society-Smithsonian expedition to Su-
matra, under the direction of Dr. William M. Mann, director of the
National Zoological Park, was of great importance to this department.

ACCESSIONS

Accessions for the year amounted to 1,240, with a total of 241,461
specimens. Some of the more noteworthy accessions are listed under
the various divisions as follows:

Mammals.—W. M. Perrygo, assisted by C. C. Lingebach and H. R.
Schaefer, collected 305 mammals in Tennessee. Another important
accession consists of 61 specimens secured by H. G. Deignan in Siam.
William N. Beach and J. Watson Webb presented 27 large and small
mammals, the result of their expedition into Alaska, including mate-
rial for habitat groups of moose and caribou. E. J. Brundage donated
18 mammals from Ecuador and Harry A. Beatty 38 specimens from
Venezuela and 6 from the Island of St. Croix, Virgin Islands. A par-
ticularly welcome gift was that of a mounted grizzly bear of a form
now extinct (true Ursus horribilis) from Dr. C. Hart Merriam. The

30

specimen was killed in 1888 in the Missouri River Badlands near
Lewistown, Mont. Of similar interest was a partial skeleton of the
true Cervus canadensis canadensis donated by Karl Schmitt and R. G.
Slattery, of Washington, D. C., of value because of the great scarcity
of specimens of the eastern elk. Two accessions of whale material
were of particular interest, viz., four small embryos entire and the
head of a 10-foot specimen from Alaska, a gift from Marc A. Lagen,
American Pacific Whaling Co., Bellevue, Wash.; also four whale
fetuses and parts of the southern right whale, finback whale, blue
whale, and killer whale, a gift from the Western Operating Corpora-
tion, of New York, through the United States Coast Guard. Ten
skulls of Arctic foxes from Siberia were obtained in exchange from
the U. S. S. R. Arctic Institute, Leningrad. Mrs. C. D. Walcott pre-
sented fine skins of a Canadian blue lynx and two black beavers. The
numerically largest accession included 1,232 specimens transferred by
the U.S. Biological Survey.

Birds—The more important and valuable avian accessions include
497 skins and 17 skeletons collected by Dr. A. Wetmore during his
expedition to Venezuela. Specimens collected by H. G. Deignan in
Siam consisted of 1,031 skins, 103 skeletons, and 4 eggs. The Tennes-
see work under W. M. Perrygo, assisted by C. Lingebach and H. R.
Schaefer, resulted in 1,056 skins, 8 skeletons, and 12 alcoholic speci-
mens. Dr. D. C. Graham, Chengtu, collected 116 bird skins in Szech-
wan, China. Col. J. Hammond, Germantown, Tenn., donated 3 skele-
tons of the imperial woodpecker. In exchange with the Natural His-
tory Museum at Vienna 20 specimens of African birds new to the
National Museum were obtained, and with the Natural History Mu-
seum at Leiden, a skin of the New Guinea rail Megacrex. Similarly,
24 skeletons of European birds were received from the Zoological
Museum at Copenhagen. The anatomical collection obtained by pur-
chase 297 skeletons of neotropical birds from H. W. Beatty, 36 skins
from Angola were purchased from K. M. Prior, and 19 skins from
Rhodesia from D. Townley. A skin of the rare pink-headed duck
Rhodonessa caryophyllacea was presented by A. Ezra, Surrey, Eng-
land, an interesting and valuable addition.

Reptiles and amphibians.—The accessions of this year equal those of
last year both in number and scientific value. Among the more im-
portant may be mentioned 307 reptiles collected by Prof. S. T. Dan-
forth in the Lesser Antilles, chiefly on Saba Island, St. Vincent, and
the Grenadines; 227 specimens from Siam collected by H. G. Deignan.
The Perrygo Tennessee expedition yielded 93 specimens, and the
National Geographic Society-Smithsonian expedition 86 specimens,
chiefly from Ceram and Sumatra. C. R. Aschemeier collected 39 speci-
mens in Florida, among them 25 interesting turtles. An important
collection from Brewster County, Tex., was received from H. Maier

ae REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

and T. F. Smith, and another from Vermont and Maine from J.
Fowler and H. J. Cole. From Brazil Fritz Plaumann sent 31 frogs
and toads. Through the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago,
an interesting collection of Central American salamanders of the
genus Oedipus was received, consisting of 17 specimens representing
9 species. Prof. E. R. Dunn presented 9 mud turtles from Panama
and Costa Rica, and Dr. A. F. Carr two paratypes of an undescribed
subspecies of turtle from Florida. G.S. Miller, Jr., donated a general
collection of 117 specimens.

Fishes.—The total number of fish specimens accessioned during the
year was 43,350, a great increase over previous years. Among the most
important collections may be mentioned two transfers from the United
States Bureau of Fisheries, one containing 5,098 specimens, among
them 492 vials of larval fishes, from various localities, used by Dr.
S. F. Hildebrand in his studies on the young stages of Atlantic
marine fishes; the other consisting of 7 types of fishes collected by
J. B. Shropshire, S. F. Hildebrand, and A. O. Foster in the Canal
Zone in Panama during 1935 and 1937. The numerically greatest
addition was received from the Bingham Oceanographic Foundation,
Yale University, through Dr. A. E. Parr and the United States Bu-
reau of Fisheries, consisting of 12,780 specimens from the Middle
Atlantic coast of the United States. The Carnegie Institution of
Washington presented 6,201 specimens from the Tortugas and the
Dutch East Indies collected by the late Dr. W. H. Longley. The
National Geographic-Smithsonian expedition to Sumatra under Dr.
W. M. Mann yielded 2,765 fishes, and the Smithsonian-Hartford ex-
pedition of 1937 brought in 973 fishes from the West Indies collected
by Dr. W. L. Schmitt and G. R. Lunz. From the Tennessee Valley
Authority, through Dr. C. L. Hubbs, 404 fish specimens were received.
H. G. Deignan contributed 1,285 fishes from Siam. By transfer
from the United States Biological Survey, 125 fishes from the
Aleutian Islands, including types of two new species of cottids, were
added to the collection. A number of paratypes of recently de-
scribed species were received from the Field Museum of Natural His-
tory, the California Academy of Sciences, and Stanford University.
The Bass Biological Laboratory, through S. Springer, contributed
50 specimens, including the type of a new species of shark from off
Englewood, Fla. By exchange, 240 specimens representing about
141 species from the waters of the Soviet Union were obtained from
the Pacific Scientific Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography,
Vladivostock, and 36 specimens of marine fishes from the Patagonian
region from the British Museum of Natural History. There were
also added 1,611 specimens from Dr. L. P. Schultz collected in the
Yellowstone National Park; 6,814 specimens from Virginia collected
by Dr. Schultz and E. R. Reid; and 1,862 obtained by C. R. Asche-

meier in Florida. A fine example of mounted tuna was presented by
Michael Lerner, of New York, and a mounted wahoo fish (Acantho-
cybium solandri), the only specimen of this species in the collection,
was obtained by purchase.

Insects ——The number of specimens of insects added during the
year aggregates 101,854, as against 159,021 during the previous year.
The more important accessions include the following: The Black-
more collection of Lepidoptera, amounting to 2,111 specimens, mostly
from the Pacific Northwest, donated by Mrs. Florence Blackmore;
the Quirsfeld collection of weevils, amounting to 1,157 specimens,
donated by E. D. Quirsfeld; a small but valuable collection of reared
Coleoptera larvae of about 50 species, received from Dr. J. P. Kryger
of Copenhagen, Denmark (this material was reared and assembled
by H. P. Sénderup) ; a collection of approximately 15,000 specimens
of ants, received from Dr. M. R. Smith, of the United States Bureau
of Entomology and Plant Quarantine; about 10,000 specimens of
Chinese insects, obtained from Dr. D. C. Graham of Chengtu, China.
By transfer from the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine
approximately 54,000 insects, received for identification, were added
to the Museum collection.

Marine invertebrates —The total number of accessions for the
year is 143, bringing to the Museum 15,300 specimens, 2,348 more
than last year. The leading accessions, mostly specimens new to
the collections or type material, are as follows: From the Hancock
Pacific expeditions 4 hermit crabs, comprising holotypes and para-
types of two new species; from the Smithsonian—Hartford expedi-

Mollusks—The outstanding accession for the year in the division
of mollusks was the Bohumil Shimek collection of loess shells,
obtained through purchase by the Frances Lea Chamberlain Fund.
The collection consists of both fossil and recent species, covering
nearly 25,000 lots and including more than a million individual
specimens. Another exceedingly important acquisition is that of
720 specimens of Chinese land and fresh-water mollusks of the Heude
collection, Swatow, China, including 265 cotypes of Pére Heude’s
species. D. Thaanum, Honolulu, contributed 1,936 Hawaiian shells.

Corals.—Two lots of corals, consisting of 24 specimens, were ac-
cessioned this year. Two were type specimens received from Prof.
H. Yabe, Institute of Geology and Paleontology, Tohoku Imperial
University, Japan.

E'chinoderms.—The number of accessions received during the year
was 13, one more than last year. The number of specimens included
was somewhat over 1,000, chiefly from the Caribbean Sea and the
Arctic Ocean. The most noteworthy accession consisted of 451
specimens collected by the Smithsonian-Hartford expedition in the
full-rigged ship Joseph Conrad to the West Indies, including three
new species; also a long series of young individuals showing growth
stages. Another noteworthy accession, from the U. S. Biological
Survey, was a collection made by Dr. Victor B. Scheffer in the

36 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

Aleutian Islands, including representatives of a new genus of star-
fishes belonging to the family Ganeriidae, a family previously
unknown from the Pacific north of the Magellanic region.
Plants——The number of accessions for the year is 332, consisting
of 36,536 specimens, as against 372 lots and 45,438 specimens during
the previous year. The more important accessions are as follows:

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

The rearrangement of the birds in the District of Columbia faunal
exhibit was completed during the early part of the year. Another
important change in the exhibition series of the department in the
northwest range, second floor, was next undertaken. Previously this
range, which is occupied jointly by the departments of anthropology
and biology, was divided lengthwise, the alcoves on the south side
being occupied by biology. In the new arrangement the whole width
of the eastern half has been allotted to anthropology and the western
half to biology. This necessitated the dismantling of the barnyard
group and its reinstallment, and the rearrangement of the exhibits of
domestic pigeons, albino birds and mammals, insects, and corals.
The change is a great improvement. In the skeleton hall the exhibit
of seal skeletons was improved by the installation of the remounted
male sea-lion skeleton and the cleaning and rearrangement of the
others. In the fish hall, the exhibit of fishes in alcohol was condensed
so as to free one floor case for the exhibition of a series of mounted
Florida fishes. In addition, a large mounted tuna presented by
Michael Lerner, a large mounted wahoo, and a large ocean sunfish
were placed on exhibition. An impalla antelope, two Asiatic civets,
and a young puma were added to the mounted mammal exhibit.
Several new casts of amphibians were added to the District of Colum-
bia faunal exhibit, and five mounted grass parakeets to the case show-
ing color variation in birds.

In the division of mammals considerable shifting was done in the
collection of small skins. The part that includes the Muridae,
Cricetidae, Microtidae, and others, has been thoroughly cleaned,
relabeled, checked, and rearranged. The caribou skins were placed in
two cases. Considerable work was done in expanding the small-skull
collection in additional quarter-unit cases. In the attic some work
was possible in checking, cleaning, and collecting the necessary infor-
mation for relabeling the cases and trays of the skulls and skeletons
of the larger mammals. Thanks to the addition of new storage cases,
it has now been possible to work the Merriam collection of mammals
into the general series. In the alcoholic series a general overhauling
was undertaken. Wooden barrels with sealed covers, mounted on
trucks, were supplied during the year for the storage of large mam-
mals preserved in alcohol.

The work of the chief taxidermist and his assistants was concen-
trated on the preliminary operations concerned with mounting the
group of moose collected during the Beach and Watson expedition
to Alaska. The skins have been prepared, plans and miniature
models of the group have been made, and full-size models of the

38 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

animals have been begun. The taxidermists skinned 41 mammals,
making 22 into skins and salting 19; a mounted grizzly bear was
dismounted and prepared as a study skin; 33 large and medium
skeletons and 466 skulls of various sizes were cleaned. By outside
contract 1,488 small and middle-size skulls and 39 skeletons were
cleaned. A duplicate cast of the pygmy sperm whale for exchange
was made.

In the division of birds the work of rearranging the collections was
continued, involving the moving of about 700 cases and the rearrange-
ment of the specimens in about 400 cases. Fifteen cases of skeletons
were rearranged and the contents condensed. The identification of
the study series was continued. Dr. E. M. Hasbrouck went through
the entire series of specimens in 29 passerine families and the family
Picidae, checking all labels where the data seemed incomplete and
putting proper Museum labels on all specimens not already so pro-
vided. The card catalog of scientific names applied to birds was
increased by about 750 cards. The entire collection of nests and
eggs, totaling 96 quarter-unit cases, has been moved, rearranged,
and installed in new quarters on the second floor. The cases were
painted and new furniture was installed, to make available an
excellent workroom for students of the collection. Of birds received
in the flesh 53 were made into study skins, 52 skins were degreased
and made over, 612 bird skeletons were cleaned, and 202 were roughed
out; 110 skeletons were cleaned by outside contract.

In the division of reptiles 2,543 specimens were card-cataloged and
placed on the shelves in the stacks; the receipt of 30 metal shelves
relieved overcrowding to some extent. The entire collection of turtle
skins was repoisoned, 194 turtle skins were made up, 106 skulls
cleaned, and 68 shells and 2 skeletons were cleaned.

In the division of fishes a great deal of general routine and back
work was completed, including identification, cataloging, bottling,
labeling, and card-indexing, the changing of about 8,000 cork-stopper
bottles to glass-covered Jars, and the resealing of all crocks and
barrels (about 400 of the former and 28 of the latter) with new
wax mixture. The condition of preservation of the study collection
was greatly improved by this resealing and by installing 28 new
barrels to replace old rusty steel drums. With the exception of
about 15,000 cork-stopper bottles still remaining, the study series is
now in good condition.

Work in the study collections of insects progressed steadily and
their condition, on the whole, is good, but as in most other divisions
additional space is urgently needed to allow the incorporation of
material already at hand. All the insect collections received the care
necessary to insure their maintenance in good condition. Further-

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 39

more, in all the insect groups there was more or less sorting and
incorporating of material from collections previously received, and
the reference collections of numerous small subdivisions of all the
principal orders were rearranged to conform with the results of
recent studies. In the Scarabaeidae rearrangement was made in
the subfamilies Melolonthinae and Aphodiinae. There was extensive
incorporation and rearrangement from the Barnes, Brooklyn Museum,
and National Museum collections of Lepidoptera, especially in the
Acronictinae and the Geometridae. In the Diptera the Calliphoridae
were entirely rearranged. Work was continued on the labeling and
arrangement of the Culicidae, 100 additional drawers in this series
being put in order during the year, and the large alcoholic collection
of mosquitoes assembled by Knab and Busck was reviewed and re-
arranged. There was also some rearrangement in the Asilidae,
Stratiomylidae, Syrphidae, and Phoridae. The Nearctic collection
of the hymenopterous genus 7imulla was put in order on the basis
of recent revisionary work, and this was done also for certain genera
of sawflies, upon which Dr. H. H. Ross has published recently.
Through the temporary employment of Dr. B. D. Burks, of the
Illinois State Natural History Survey, the material of the chalcideid
genus 7 etrastichus was worked over preparatory to revision. In the
Heteroptera the transfer of material to trays was continued and is
now completed for all the Nearctic collection except the Cydnidae,
Anthocoridae, and several aquatic families. Considerable progress
was also made in the identification and rearrangement of the Neo-
tropical material of the more important families. Much further
work was done in the sorting and incorporation of the large collec-
tions of Homoptera obtained by P. W. Oman on several visits to the
Western States between 1933 and 1937, but, while very noticeable
progress was made, a good deal of time is still required to complete
this work, since the quantity of material is very large. The alcoholic
collection of Zoraptera was reviewed and sorted and has served as
a basis for A. B. Gurney’s revision of the group, which was published
during the year. There was also considerable expansion of the
Orthoptera collection, and with the assistance of W. P. A. personnel
the Caudell library of reprints on Orthoptera and the neuropteroid
families was reorganized. In the Coleoptera, specimens of many
weevil genera from the Bovie, Baker, Gorham, and Old National
Museum collections were combined, trayed, and rearranged. ‘This is
also true for the South American Otiorhynchidae. The remainder
of the Wickham collection, the Quirsfeld collection of North Ameri-
can weevils, and much of the Wade collection, which was received
during the year, were transferred to trays and incorporated. Much
new definitely determined larval material in the Lepidoptera, Coleop-

40 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

tera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera was received during the year,
largely through the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine,
and was incorporated in the regular collections. The larval collec-
tion of Gracilariidae (Lepidoptera) was completely rearranged, and
minor improvements were made in the arrangement of many groups
of Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. Probably the most marked improve-
ment occurred in two groups for which specialists were obtained
during the year. The ant collection, since the appointment of Dr.
M. R. Smith in September 1937, has received much attention. The
work of rearranging was completed for four small subfamilies and
was begun on the Myrmicinae, one of the largest. The Bureau of
Entomology and Plant Quarantine had not had a specialist in
Thysanoptera until Dr. Floyd Andre was appointed to this position
in March 1938. The Museum collection contained only about 600
slides and that of the Bureau about 4,000. All the material has
now been combined into one National Museum collection and entirely
rearranged.

The study collections of the division of marine invertebrates con-
tinue to be in good physical shape. Considerable headway was made
in classifying unidentified Crustacea, but work in other groups is
more or less at a standstill for want of a sufficient staff as well as
of outside trained specialists having the knowledge or inclination
to make great numbers of routine identifications, Dr. R. S. Bassler,
as custodian of the collection of Recent Bryozoa, reports a fair
amount of preparatory and photographic work accomplished. A
dozen or more collections of dried material, mainly from the Pacific,
were cleaned, mounted, and separated into species preparatory to a
definite identification by means of photography. This work has pro-
ceeded to such an extent that many of the old-time collections con-
sisting mainly of debris with incrusting Bryozoa have been sorted
and the valuable material put in biologic series.

In the division of mollusks the outstanding work was the labeling
of an enormous amount of specimens and preparing them for inter-
calation in the study series. This accumulation, due to lack of assist-
ance in the past, is now being reduced by W. P. A. workers, who have
labeled and cataloged more than 29,600 lots of material.

For better and more convenient housing, the entire collection of
helminths in the care of the zoological division of the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry was transferred to the building of the
Department of Agriculture and is rapidly being brought up to date.

The return of Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan, honorary custodian of the
collection of corals, made it possible to catch up with some of the
arrearages in this group.

In the division of echinoderms some rearrangements were made in
the collections of dried starfishes and sea-urchins, in addition to con-

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY Al

siderable work on the alcoholic collection, while the work of identi-
fying and cataloging specimens was continued.

In the division of plants 31,760 mounted specimens of flowering
plants and ferns were stamped and recorded. Of this material most
of the Old World and South American specimens were incorporated
in the herbarium; the United States, Mexican, and Central American
specimens are now being incorporated together with last year’s accu-
mulation from the same regions. About 8,000 mounted specimens
await stamping and recording. During the year 34,405 were mounted,
wholly by adhesive straps, 24,051 of these by contract and 3,663 by
W.P.A. personnel. For the first time in nearly 30 years there is on
hand no accumulation of specimens awaiting mounting. The moss
and algae herbaria were given attention by E. C. Leonard as in
previous years. J. A. Stevenson, honorary custodian of the G. C.
Lloyd mycological collection, reports that the herbarium in his charge
was consulted freely by visiting mycologists during the year in con-
nection with current problems, and he refers especially to its great
usefulness in a revision of the tropical American species of Polypo-
raceae upon which he is engaged. The segregation of type specimens
of American flowering plants was continued by E. P. Killip and E. H.
Walker, the number of types segregated during the year being 949.
However, it was deemed best to remove from the type herbarium to
the general herbarium 369 mounted photographs that were unaccom-
panied by specimens, so that the net gain to the type herbarium is 580.
This brings the total number of specimens in the type herbarium to
21,447, all of which have been cataloged and placed in durable
individual covers.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

The curator of mammals, Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., has continued his
special study of the Primates. The assistant curator, Dr. Remington
Kellogg, in addition to preparing an annotated list of the mammals of
Tennessee based on the collections of W. M. Perrygo and his associ-
ates, continued studies of the Miocene Cetotheres and the porpoises
of the genus Prodelphinus. During the two last months of the year
he was detailed by the State Department as delegate to international
conferences on whaling at Oslo and London.

Dr. Herbert Friedmann, curator of birds, continued his work on the
monograph on “The Birds of North and Middle America,” making
progress on the part devoted to the gallinaceous birds. He finished
three short papers on cowbird hosts, left-“handedness” in parrots, and
Alaskan bird bones. The associate curator, J. H. Riley, completed
the manuscript on the birds collected by the late W. L. Abbott in the
islands off the west coast of Sumatra and began a study of the Bor-
nean collections made by Abbott and Raven, in the course of which

42 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

work he published descriptions of three new birds. Dr. Alexander
Wetmore, as time and opportunity permitted, worked on fossil birds
and on the birds collected in West Virginia and Tennessee, publishing
a report on the West Virginian material.

The studies of the tortoises and turtles of North and Middle Amer-
ica by Dr. Leonhard Stejneger, curator of reptiles, received new
stimulus by the receipt of considerable important new material
during the year. Dr. Doris M. Cochran, assistant curator, completed
her manuscript on the frogs of southeastern Brazil.

Dr. L. P. Schultz, curator of fishes, continued his research on the
Virginia fish fauna and made a preliminary revision of the fishes of
the genus Catostomus. He published descriptions of a new genus and
two new species of cottoids from the Aleutian Islands and prepared
a paper on the length-weight relationship of large sharks and whales.
He continued with Dr. C. L. Hubbs a joint study of the genus
Porichthys. E. D. Reid, aide, assisted the curator in revisions of the
genera Opsanus and Rypticus as well as in the Virginia ichthyologi-
cal survey. He also did some preliminary work on the blennoid fishes
of the genus Ophioblennius. Dr. Hugh M. Smith, associate curator
in zoology, has been engaged in the study of Siamese fishes, prepar-
ing a complete catalog of the fresh-water fishes of Siam.

In the division of insects, the curator, Dr. E. A. Chapin, prepared
for publication several short papers on different groups of Scara-
baeidae and made progress in the study of the West Indian Aphodi-
inae, in connection with which he found it necessary to examine most
of the species of the genus Ataenius from North, Central, and South
America in an endeavor to detect certain species introduced by com-
merce into the West Indies.

Dr. A. G. Béving continued studies bearing on the classification of
the coleopterous larvae of the genus Phyllophaga and published a
preliminary key to the mature larvae of 43 species with the object of
inviting criticism and stimulating interest in rearing. He also began
Jarval studies of Nitidulidae, Anobiidae, and Curculionidae. Dr. W.
N. Anderson completed and published determination of characters for
the separation of Naupactus leucoloma, the “white-fringed beetle,”
and other related curculionid larvae found in the same situations, as
well as a paper containing extensive descriptions of two species of
chrysomelid larvae. Dr. M. W. Blackman completed a review of the
scolytid genus Chramesus in North America and a review of the bark-
beetle genus Cactopinus, including three new species. His revisional
study of the scolytid genus Hylastes is well under way. L. L. Bu-
chanan completed a manuscript on the species of weevil genus Panto-
morus which is of great importance as it includes the two species of
destructive “white-fringed beetles” recently introduced into the

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 43

Southern States. W.S. Fisher made considerable progress on a study
of the buprestid genus Chrysobothris. H. 8. Barber completed cer-
tain studies in the common striped cucumber beetle and allied species.

August Busck completed his studies of the lepidopterous genus
Gelechia and began generic revisions of the families Momphiidae and
Phaloniidae. Carl Heinrich made definite progress in the classifica-
tion of the American Phycitinae, the first part of which was com-
pleted and submitted for publication. Dr. William Schaus, as the
result of his studies in Neotropical Lepidoptera, prepared three
papers describing about 75 new species. J. F. G. Clarke was occupied
with a revision of the lepidopterous family Cecophoridae. His re-
view of a group of American moths allied to Bombycia was completed
and submitted for publication, while studies in Noctuidae and
Geometridae are in various stages of preparation.

Revision of the fruit-fly genus Anastrepha by Dr. Alan Stone was
enlarged so as to include the number of new species discovered during
recent years. D. G. Hall’s revision of the blow flies of America is
approaching completion, and a study of North American bot flies was
recently started. C. T. Greene worked continuously on the classifica-
tion of the families of Diptera.

Dr. M. R. Smith completed and submitted for publication several
papers on ants. One covering the North American ants of the genus
Proceratium is in preparation. Grace A. Sandhouse has a revision of
the North American bees of the genus Osmia in an advanced stage of
preparation, while her review of the North American wasps of the
genus Trypoxylon is largely finished. R. A. Cushman reports fur-
ther progress in the revision of the North American species of the
ichneumonid genus Ophion. His study of the genus Lysiognatha was
completed and published during the year. A.B. Gurney continued a
revision of the genus Orphuledla and finished a synopsis of the order
Zoraptera.

Dr. H. E. Ewing completed and submitted for publication a key to
the genera of chiggers (Acarina) of the world and a paper on the
North American mites of the subfamily Myobiinae; work on a cata-
log of Anoplura is well advanced. Intensive work was done by H. G.
Barber in the genera Vysius, Blissus, and T'riatoma, as well as on the
Reduviidae and Lygaeidae of Cuba, while a review of the genus
Crophius was completed and submitted for publication. P. W. Oman
continued and nearly completed investigations on the lateralis com-
plex of the cicadellid genus Oncometopia. Jointly with Nancy H.
Wheeler he completed and published a paper on the North American
empoascan leafhoppers of the aspersa group. Work on the generic
revision of the North American Cicadellidae was continued. Dr. P.
W. Mason was occupied with a revision of the North American species

44 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

of the aphid genus Myzus. A paper clearing up the confusion sur-
rounding the identity of a complex of 12 species of the genus Parla-
toria was submitted for publication by Dr. Harold Morrison, and a
similar problem in the genus Leucaspis was continued awaiting addi-
tional material. A revision of the genus Cerococcus is nearing com-
pletion, and the manuscript of a study in the genus Margarodes was
in large part completed. A revision of the scale-insect genus Asterole-
canium by Louise M. Russell is in an advanced stage of preparation.
A generic revision of the North American Thysanoptera was begun
by Dr. Floyd Andre.

In the division of marine invertebrates the curator, Dr. Waldo L.
Schmitt, completed a manuscript on the stomatopods of the west coast
of America, based largely on collections made by the Hancock expedi-
tions. A résumé of the American records of the fresh-water jellyfish
Craspedacusta sowerbyt was prepared and was accepted for publica-
tion by the American Naturalist. Clarence R. Shoemaker, assistant
curator, continued work on the large collection of marine amphipods
taken in the course of the William Beebe Bermuda investigations. He
prepared an extensive revision of the amphipods of the west coast of
America. James O. Maloney, aide, completed the description and
figures of a new species of Asellus from the Southern States. Dr.
Mary J. Rathbun, associate in zoology, continued her studies of both
Recent and fossil crustaceans. Dr. J. A. Cushman, collaborator in
Foraminifera, continued studies of the Museum material in prepara-
tion of a series of monographic reports on the various family groups.
Dr. C. B. Wilson, collaborator in copepods, reports as follows on his
activities for the year: “Much of the plankton collected by the United
States Fisheries steamer Albatross from 1883 to 1906 was sent to Dr.
G. O. Sars for a report on the copepods it contained. Sars identified
about two-fifths of the material sent him, and after his death the
entire lot was placed in my hands in July 1937, together with Sars’
identifications and drawings. I verified the species he had deter-
mined, copied the drawings he had made, and described the new
species he had established. I also identified the remaining three-fifths
of the material sent to him. About half as much more material was
forwarded from the United States National Museum collected by the
Albatross during the Philippine expedition in 1907 to 1910. This
material was sent to me to supplement the former lot, and I have it
about two-thirds identified and plan to include the results with those
of the material sent to Sars. Thus far the Philippine plankton has
proved to be far more productive than that from other localities.”

Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of mollusks, in conjunction with Dr.
Carlos de la Torre completed a report on the operculate land mollusks
of Cuba belonging to the subfamily Chondropominae. Another vol-

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY A5

ume on the Chondropominae of the rest of the Antilles was almost
completed by Dr. Bartsch, whose researches in conjunction with Dr.
Harald A. Rehder on the Hawaiian marine gastropods also are in
progress. He also continued his breeding experiments with Goniobasis
in the Potomac drainage. |

In the division of echinoderms the curator, Austin H. Clark, made
considerable progress in the preparation of the next part of the
“Monograph of Existing Crinoids.” His report upon the Crinoidea of
the Australasian Antarctic expedition under Sir Douglas Mawson
was published, as well as his report upon the echinoderms of Hudson
Bay, based upon the collections of the Canadian steamer Loubyrne.
A report on the echinoderms of the Smithsonian-Hartford expedition
in the Joseph Conrad was completed and is now in press. Work was
continued on the echinoderms of the Johnson-Smithsonian Deep-Sea
expedition to the Puerto Rican Deep.

In the division of plants Dr. W. R. Maxon and C. V. Morton pre-
pared jointly a revision of the American species of Dryopteris, sub-
genus Meniscium, which is in process of publication. The monograph
of the American species of Passifloraceae by E. P. Killip, associate
curator, appeared recently in two large volumes. C. V. Morton com-
pleted the revision of the genus Besleria of the family Gesneriaceae
begun several years ago. E. C. Leonard, assistant curator, is preparing
several regional treatments of tropical American Acanthaceae. It is a
satisfaction to report that the bibliography of eastern Asiatic botany
by Dr. E. D. Merrill, of Harvard University, and E. H. Walker, of
the National Herbarium, was issued in April 1938 by the Arnold
Arboretum, bringing to completion a joint enterprise conducted for
nine years under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, the New
York Botanical Garden, and the Arnold Arboretum, with the assist-
ance of several emergency relief agencies.

The number of specimens received with request for identification
in some divisions runs into the thousands, as in the division of plants
(17,366 specimens) and the division of marine invertebrates (about
9,100 specimens). The curator of insects received from the United
States Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine about 1,800 lots,
of which less than 30 lots remain unidentified at the end of the year.
Specifically, the number of lots with request for identification was as
follows: Mammals, 47; birds, 27; reptiles and amphibians, 30; fishes,
43; insects, apart from the 1,800 mentioned above, 167; marine inver-
tebrates, 119; mollusks, 119; helminths, 3; corals, 3; and plants, 267.

In all divisions volunteer specialists aided in the identification and
study of the material. Though too numerous to list here, the work
of these voluntary assistants is greatly appreciated, since it supple-
ments in a very vital way the research activities of our own staff.

46 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

In one division alone (marine invertebrates) 73 separate shipments
were made to these outside specialists during the year, comprising
about 4,400 specimens.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

Duplicate zoological specimens distributed to museums, colleges,
high schools, and similar institutions aggregated 2,827 specimens, and
17,535 specimens were sent out in exchange, of which 6,168 specimens
were zoological. The 11,477 plants distributed went to 70 institutions
and correspondents, of which 41 were in the United States and 29 in
17 other countries.

NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DEPARTMENT

The number of specimens given below is based on the numbers esti-
mated 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, such 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 divisions, lots
consisting of minute organisms are frequently counted as single speci-
mens though they may contain hundreds or even thousands of indi-
viduals the enumeration of which could have no useful purpose.
This practice, however, has not always been consistently adhered to.

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

Tue past year shows substantial progress throughout the depart-
ment of geology, particularly in the care of the collections and in
the acquisition of valuable material for study and exhibition through
field work by members of the staff. The intelligent help furnished
by the Federal relief organizations so forwarded the preparation
and assembling of the study series in all divisions that an arrearage
from several years past was cleared up. Completion of plans set
forth a year ago also contributed to the progress noted. The staff
is now in a position to proceed with the more advanced work of
study and identification.

The paleontological series were enriched particularly through ex-
plorations for vertebrate fossils in the Upper Cretaceous and Early
Tertiary rocks of Utah, and by the collecting of invertebrate fossils
in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York. The increase in ac-
quired meteorites, the second largest number recorded in any one
year in our history, and the results of four months’ search for min-
erals in Europe and Asia by Assistant Curator E. P. Henderson, are
the outstanding accomplishments in mineralogy and petrology.

ACCESSIONS

A total of 233 accessions comprising approximately 60,927 speci-
mens was recorded for the year, distributed as follows: Mineralogy
and petrology, 117 accessions (790 specimens), physical and chemical
geology, 8 accessions (68 specimens), stratigraphic paleontology, 95
accessions (60,000 specimens), and vertebrate paleontology, 12 acces-
sions (69 specimens).

Mineralogy.—In this division 65 choice specimens listed under 11
accessions were obtained through the Canfield Fund, notable among
which are minerals purchased in Japan by E. P. Henderson, com-
prising very large, fine twin crystals of quartz, unusually good speci-
mens of chalcopyrite, and a superb group of arsenopyrite crystals.
Other minerals secured through this fund include such excellent ex-
hibition material as a large clear platy crystal of the lead chloro-
carbonate, phosgenite, from Sardinia; a slab of lustrous black garnet
crystals from California; a huge doubly terminated Arkansas rock
crystal; a rock slab with crystal rosettes of brilliant stibnite, and a
group of the lead molybdate, wulfenite, from Rumania; several speci-

47

48 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

mens of emerald in schist from the ancient locality at Habachthal,
Austria; groups of exceptionally handsome wulfenite crystals from
Arizona; a group of large crystals of the rare silicate, ilvaite, from
Greece; and amethyst crystals, including the variety known as scepter,
from Montana.

Of the 23 accessions accredited to the Roebling Fund, 12, totaling
105 specimens, relate to minerals, the most interesting addition being
seven American diamonds—one from Wedderburn, Oreg., one from
Fig Indian Creek, Amador County, Calif., and five from Smith Flats,
Eldorado County, Calif. Only a few authenticated American dia-
mond localities are now unrepresented in the collection. Other min-
erals obtained through this fund are a large suite of variscite and
other associated phosphate minerals from Fairfield, Utah; one of
the finest of groups of the silver sulfantimonide, stephanite, ever
found at the classical locality of Freiburg, Germany; a large assem-
blage of lustrous translucent cassiterite crystals from Araca, Bolivia;
one of the largest crystals yet found of the rare scandium silicate,
thortveitite, from Iveland, Norway; a suite of fine Rumanian min-
erals including pyrrhotite in various habits, marmatite, semseyite,
fullopite, and others; several unusual fluorite clusters, including rare
hexoctahedral crystals, from Bolsena, Italy; a nephrite boulder from
the Fraser River, British Columbia; and a fine crystallized example
of the rare copper selenate, chalcomenite, from Bolivia.

Minerals also worthy of special mention were acquired by gift or
exchange, these embracing type and described specimens as well as
other unusual material. Prof. T. Ito, Imperial University of Tokyo,
contributed a series of rare Japanese minerals, among which are the
new species teineiite, phosphate-silicate gel, and others. Charles
R. Toothaker, Philadelphia Commercial Museum, sent a fine suite of
chiolite and associated minerals collected by himself at Ivigtut,
Greenland, and Hugh D. Miser, United States Geological Survey,
continued his interest in the Museum’s collections by the donation
of a number of specimens from Magnet Cove, Ark., which included
large crystals of vesuvianite, complete twin crystals of rutile and
others. Dr. John P. Marble deposited in our collections several
analyzed pitchblende samples from Canada, type specimens used in
geclogical age determinations; Dr. Ralph E. Grim, Illinois State
Geological Survey, presented a type specimen of the new clay mineral
illite; and Dr. Duncan McConnell, University of Texas, a type speci-
men of the complex phosphate, ellestadite. Miss Jewell J. Glass,
United States Geological Survey, deposited several studied specimens
of the rare silicate, inesite.

Dr. Harvey P. Barret, Charlotte, N. C., again made several note-
worthy contributions, chiefly rare uranium minerals from the dis-
trict about Spruce Pine, N. C. Dr. Harald Bjérlykke, Geological

Le

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 49

Institute of Trondhjem, sent a fine terminated crystal of thortveitite
from Norway; Dr. Frederick Pough, American Museum of Natural
History, a specimen of the rare beryllium mineral, bertrandite, from
a new locality discovered by him at Bedford, N. Y. Other notable
additions are: From C. A. Heberlein, Goldfield, Nev., the unusual
molybdenum sulphate, ilsemannite; William H. Nissen, Petaluma,
Calif., lawsonite from a new locality in Sonoma County; Prof. Pat-
rick Marshall, Wellington, New Zealand, small but brilliant crystals
of the amphibole riebeckite of unusual occurrence, arfvedsonite, and
the rare new mineral tuhualite, in lava; Thomas G. Donovan, Welles-
ley, Mass., gold and pitchblende specimens from Canada; Prof. V. P.
Gianella, Mackay School of Mines, unusual examples of richly rose-
colored piedmontite from Nevada; and G. L. Sheldon, a slab of rock
with hematite dendrites.

Specimens of the new species leightonite from Chile, aminoffite
from Sweden; ferroschallerite from New Jersey, and the new borate
mineral hilgardite from Texas were obtained by exchange from the
Mineralogical Museum of Harvard University. Similarly, from the
Champion Sillimanite Co., Laws, Calif., the new complex phosphate
woodhousite, and the rare species augelite from a new locality; and
from the University of Stockholm a series of pegmatite minerals
including the new species varulite, manganvoelkerite, and ferro-
sicklerite. A large lot of miscellaneous minerals was obtained by
exchange from the Karpinsky Museum, Moscow, U. S. S. R., and
another of Scottish minerals from the Grant Institute of Geology
at Edinburgh, Scotland.

A large number of specimens of the rare mica mineral, taeniolite,
from Magnet Cove, Ark., collected by H. D. Miser, Dr. C. S. Ross,
and Dr. W. T. Schaller for the Museum, were transferred by the
United States Geological Survey.

Four cut gem stones were added to the Isaac Lea Collection through
the Frances Lea Chamberlain Fund: A blue spinel from Ceylon, 30
carats; a rose-colored spinel from Ceylon, 22 carats; a green sapphire,
17 carats; and a yellow sphalerite, 48 carats, from Mexico. In addi-
tion, four iridescent obsidians from California were cut and polished
for the exhibition series in the department laboratory.

The ore collections were enriched by several large exhibition speci-
mens and various smaller examples for the study series. A large
mass cf potash ore from the important deposits at Mulhouse, Alsace,
was presented by the American Potash Institute, and similar ex-
hibition specimens with leonite, sylvite, and related minerals from
Carlsbad, N. Mex., were transferred from the United States Geolog-
ical Survey. C. E. Julihn, Washington, D. C., presented a rich
specimen of silver ore with abundant partzite from Benton, Calif.

50 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

Frank L. Hess continued his interest of many years with gifts of
uranium, vanadium, tungsten, and gold ores, as well as nonmetallics
including spodumene, nephelite, and others, all important additions.

The petrological accessions of special note include a set of rocks
illustrating the geology of the Baker, Oregon, quadrangle, trans-
ferred by the United States Geological Survey, and described by
James Gilluly in publications of that organization; specimens of
keilhauite-bearing granite from Rhode Island, presented and recently
described by Prof. Esper 8. Larsen, Harvard University; and a
series of orthoclase-plagioclase granite pegmatite from the Queens
Tunnel, New York City, the gift of T. G. Horesco, Freeport, N. Y.

Seventy meteorite specimens, with 62 falls new to the collection,
were added during the year, the largest number by far since the
acquisition of the Shepard Collection in 1915. Forty-one of these
were obtained by exchange, twenty-one by purchase, and eight as
gifts. From Stuart H. Perry, Adrian, Mich., came as gifts some of
the most important individual specimens, namely, Athens, Ala., an
almost complete stone of 223 grams; Andover, Maine, almost complete
stone of 2,823 grams; San Francisco Mountain, Ariz., a fresh siderite
of 1,445 grams; and Woods Mountain, N. C., an almost complete
siderite of 1,752 grams. Prof. W. A. Tarr presented the Alva, Wood-
ward County, Okla., stone of 47 kilograms. Dr. Euzebio de Oliveira,
Servico Geologico e Mineralogico, Rio de Janeiro, donated a slice
of the Cratheus iron, 42.5 grams, and H. H. Nininger, a slice weigh-
ing 202 grams, of the Coolidge, Kans., meteorite. Dr. Clay P. Butler,
of the Smithsonian Observatory at Calama, Chile, continued his
efforts in obtaining new falls, one of which, Puripica, 19 kilograms,
was accessioned this year.

Outstanding meteorites added through the Roebling Fund are:
Beenham, N. Mex., complete stone, 5 kilograms; Johnson City, Kans.,
complete stone, 2 kilograms; Plantersville, Tex., complete stone, 2
kilograms; Santa Luzia, Brazil, complete siderite, 18 kilograms; one-
half of the Shaw amphoterite, 1,730 grams; Rolla, Kans., complete
stone, 433 grams. An interesting series including meteorites and
rocks illustrating the geology of the Oesel meteoric craters of Estonia
were received in exchange from I. Reinvald, of Talinn, Estonia.

Additions to the division of physical and chemical geology included
a long exhibition specimen of flexible sandstone from North Carolina,
presented by the Queensboro Council of the Boy Scouts of that State;
material collected for the Museum in Alaska by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka
during the summer of 1937; an exhibition specimen of Devonian
brown sandstone with calcite-filled gash veins, from central Maine;
of especial interest for the exhibition series, two framed pictures
of the voleanoes Fujiyama and Aso, presented by Reitetsu Iwata, of

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 51

the Japanese Embassy; and two large photographs and two trans-
parencies of Luray Caverns, gift of the Luray Caverns Corporation.

Vertebrate paleontology.—The material resulting from the field
expedition in vertebrate paleontology under C. W. Gilmore is of
first importance, benefiting both the mammalian and reptilian col-
lections, but more especially the latter. Specimens worthy of special
mention are, about one-third of the skeleton of a very large sauropod
dinosaur, a representative of the family Titanosauridae, the first to
be found in North America; a disarticulated skull and parts of the
skeleton of a horned dinosaur; and six skeletons, two of which are
partially articulated, of a new genus and species of the Sauria.
These latter specimens so supplement one another that a complete
restoration of the animal can be made. Fifteen mammalian speci-
mens sufficient to indicate their age furnished the first recognition of
the Paleocene in Utah. From the Triassic of Arizona three phyto-
saurian and two amphibian skulls were secured by the expedition.
In addition to these are many less complete specimens of considerable
scientific interest.

Through participation in the Dallas Exposition, the division bene-
fited greatly by important specimens and illustrative materials pre-
sented by the United States Texas Centennial Commission. The
more important of these were a skeleton of the flightless Eocene bird
Diatryma from Wyoming; a unique specimen of the lizard Glypio-
saurus giganteus, having the dermal armor of the neck preserved in
situ, a nearly complete articulated tail of the dinosaur Camarasaurus
lentus from Utah; the pelvis, hind limbs, and tail with skin impres-
sions of a crested hadrosaurian dinosaur from Alberta, Canada.
Especially desirable was a diorama illustrating the fauna and flora
of the Jurassic geological period, and two canvases (8 by 15 feet),
one a restoration of the sauropod dinosaur Camarasaurus painted by
R. Bruce Horsfall, and the other a restoration of Dimetrodon and
other Permian animals painted by Garnet Jex.

A skull of the ungulate Merycoidodon gracilis of much historical
interest, having originally belonged to the Evan’s collection, was
secured through exchange with Columbia University. The type
specimen of the dog Tomarctus marylandica from the Miocene rocks
of Maryland was presented by Dr. Charles T. Berry. A tarsometa-
tarsus of Vesotrochia debooy?, an extinct bird from Puerto Rico, was
the gift of the Peabody Museum of Natural History of Yale
University.

The collection of fossil footprints was enriched by three slabs of
dinosaur tracks from Adams County, Pa., presented by the Highway
Engineering and Construction Co., of Gettysburg.

Stratigraphic ‘paleontology.—Again the important accessions of
fossil invertebrates in the division of stratigraphic paleontology came

52 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

through efforts of the staff. The most extensive and valuable accession
for the year is the collection made by Dr. G. Arthur Cooper and Pres-
ton E. Cloud from the Devonian of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan,
giving the Museum an excellent series from these rocks, which cannot
be duplicated. The next most important of the collections made for
the Museum was secured in the Chazyan rocks of northeastern New
York and Quebec by Dr. Cooper and Dr. Josiah Bridge, of the United
States Geological Survey.

Assistant Curator Cooper was also instrumental in securing various
accessions, most noteworthy of which are additions to the brachiopod
collection. Thus rare brachiopods from the Canadian Period came as
a gift from the National Museum of Canada; the University of Bir-
mingham, England, exchanged other specimens, and a fine set of Euro-
pean Carboniferous and Mesozoic brachiopods was received in ex-
change from Harvard University.

L. L. Sloss contributed new species of Devonian corals from Michi-
gan, while C. R. Peregrine, of the Thunder Bay Quarries Company of
that State, donated fine Devonian crinoids. John Hidore presented
Upper Devonian invertebrates from Iowa, and Dr. C. P. Butler gave
an excellent collection of Jurassic fossils from Chile. A large collec-
tion of brachiopods from the Upper Pogonip formation of Nevada
from John N. Mason, Princeton University, Devonian invertebrate
fossils from the Island of Novaya Zemlya collected personally by Dr.
Julia A. Gardner, of the United States Geological Survey, and an
extensive set of well-preserved fossil invertebrates from the Coal
Measures of Kansas, from A. M. Brooks of Pittsburg, Kans., were
important gifts to the Paleozoic series. The echinoderm collections
were enriched by an extensive set of echinoids from the Comanchean
of Texas from Mrs. J. H. Renfro, a series of entire crinoids from the
Coal Measures of Oklahoma from H. L. Strimple, and a rare Devonian
crinoid from Michigan from Chaplain John Samuel.

Transfers from the United States Geological Survey included col-
lections of Ozarkian, Canadian, and Chazyan brachiopods, numbering
more than 22,000 specimens.

In the section of Cenozoic invertebrates the most important acces-
sion received for many years is that of the loess collection of shells
forming a part of the Bohumil Shimek series of recent and fossil
shells, which was purchased from Prof. Shimek’s heirs. This is the
finest assemblage of its kind that has ever been brought together, but
as the Eocene formation borders so closely on present time the collec-
tion is considered as a unit, and the large number of specimens received
is included in the report for the department of biology. Type speci-
mens of land and fresh-water mollusks from the Oligocene of Colorado
were received from J. Harlan Johnson as a gift, while types of Ter-
tiary Foraminifera were presented by Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 53

Other important additions to the Cenozoic collection were gifts from
Carl J. Bleifus, of Hollister, Calif., of barnacles, crabs, and other
fossil invertebrates from that State. An important transfer by the
United States Geological Survey consisted of Pleistocene marine shells
from Guam, while another series of shells of this age from Chazy,
N. Y., was collected by Drs. Josiah Bridge and G. A. Cooper. O. H.
Betombeau, of London, presented important material from the Ter-
tiary Bartonian formation of England.

Accessions in paleobotany were, as usual, few, but three of them, all
transfers from the United States Geological Survey, are especially
important in that they contain many type specimens. These fossil
plants, described by Dr. R. W. Brown, are all of Mesozoic and Ceno-
zoic age and were derived from the Southern and Western States and
Alaska. An important accession of Paleozoic plants from the Chero-
kee shales of Missouri was received from Joe Harner. To the exhibi-
tion series was added a polished slab of fossil wood exhibiting the
processes of decay previous to petrifaction, gift of Carl Herrin, of
Portland, Oreg.

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

Exhibition work in the divisions of mineralogy, petrology, and phys-
ical geology, under the supervision of Curator W. F. Foshag, was
concentrated first on the relabeling with additional information of
interest to the general public of all the minerals in the large upright
eases, more than 1,000 labels being completed. An upright case to
exhibit gypsum crystals from the caves at Naica, Mexico, collected
several years ago, was installed and, as new material illustrating the
various forms of calcium carbonate had been secured, this exhibit was
rearranged.

The exhibit of meteorites was remodeled, and small, inconspicuous
fragments were removed to the study series. All the larger sliced
Specimens were repolished and re-etched by B. O. Reberholt, using
the new etching technique developed by him in our laboratory. The
first case of meteorites is concerned with their general form and char-
acteristics and shows their appearance both in fresh and weathered
condition. Then, three cases exhibit specimens systematically
arranged according to classification, and, finally, one case is devoted
to meteor craters. The exhibits relating to hot and cold springs,
Yellowstone National Park, vulcanism, and caves were remodeled,
and the several outdoor geological exhibits near the Adams Mill Road
and Harvard Street entrances to the National Zoological Park were
cleaned and improved.

In the preservation of collections, fair progress was made by Assist-
ant Curator E. P. Henderson on the consolidation into one large series
in room 814 of the various mineral collections. This consolidation has

54 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

two main objects: To simplify the use and study of the collections
and to gather into better quarters a considerable quantity of valuable
material. This consolidation necessitated a number of involved pre-
liminary shifts. First, the extensive Yellowstone Park hot springs
material was sorted and condensed; the large series of heavy sands
was placed in more suitable containers and consolidated; the huge
collections relating to the building stone resources of the Eastern
United States made by T. Nelson Dale were rearranged; and a very
large set of Florida phosphate ores was trimmed and condensed. The
nonmetallic ores were then shifted to their corresponding position
under the exhibition cases; the described geological sets were trans-
ferred to the space gained by the previous condensations and the
metallic ores moved to replace the mineral collections in the corridor.
The total involved in these reallocations was 1,386 standard drawers.
This consolidation of the mineral collections is now completed through
the native elements and the sulphides and the sulpho-salts.

The Iddings collection of South Sea Island rocks of more than
5,000 specimens, long in storage, was sorted, numbered, and cataloged
and the duplicate material prepared for exchange.

In the rock-cutting laboratory, besides the cutting, polishing, and
etching of meteorite slices mentioned before (260 in all), 1,622 min-
eral and rock samples were cut, polished, or trimmed, and 220 thin
and polished sections of rocks, minerals, ores, and fossils were
prepared.

As a project of the W. P. A., the meteorite check list is being
expanded to include important bibliography, distribution of material
in collections, and other data for a comprehensive annotated catalog.

Dr. C. E. Resser, curator of stratigraphic paleontology, with the
aid of several Federal relief workers skilled in preparatory and other
Museum duties, brought the preparation of the Cambrian collections
to such a point that only a small amount of totally unworked material
remains. Because of the great size of this series, the lifetime work
of Dr. Charles D. Walcott, several more years of study will be re-
quired before the material can be considered in permanent Museum
form. Cambrian collections from the northern Wasatch Mountains
and from Oklahoma and Texas were also prepared and studied, and
the work of rechecking the many Walcott brachiopod types, bringing
their labels up to date, was continued actively. The large cephalopod
series long under study by Dr. E. O. Ulrich and the late Dr. August F.
Foerste was overhauled, cleaned, and rearranged, and all borrowed
material was returned to the owners.

Dr. E. O. Ulrich, associate in stratigraphic paleontology, as usual
contributed his services and spent the entire year in field and research
work, thus increasing the value of the collections. This year he con-

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 55

centrated on the Lower Paleozoic formations of Colorado and the
Canadian and Ordovician rocks of the Appalachian Valley.

Dr. G. A. Cooper, assistant curator, divided his time in the office
in the preparation of Devonian fossils received in recent years from
Michigan and New York, and in adding to the brachiopod series by
the identification and introduction of new material, amounting to
160 drawers. He also completely revised the exhibition series of
Devonian invertebrate fossils, substituting vehisote blocks with a
softer tone for the old-time clay tablets. As a result of his special
technique of etching silicified fossils from limestone blocks with
hydrochloric acid, he has mounted and added many thousands of
brachiopods and trilobites to the study series. The fragile nature
of these fossils and the great delicacy of their preservation require
that they be very specially mounted in glass-topped boxes, a time-
consuming procedure.

With the aid of several National Youth Association students and
help from the Works Progress Administration, the head curator, Dr.
Rk. S. Bassier, contributed to the work of the division as follows: He
completed the separation and final review of all Cretaceous and Early
Tertiary Bryozoa, eliminating the duplicates for exchanges. About
700 photographs of European Cretaceous Bryozoa were prepared and
sent to the leading European authority, Ehrhard Voigt, of the Uni-
versity of Halle, Germany, for identification. By the end of the
year two-thirds of these had been returned and the species, properly
identified, added to the collection. Dr. Bassler also continued the
preparation of the large conodont series, reducing it by trimming
away superfluous rock to a space about one-fifth its former extent.
The Teller stratigraphic collection of Silurian fossils was prepared
and placed in form for final investigation. In the exhibition series
material for two cases was assembled to illustrate the structure of
Mississippian plants. In other divisions further work included
another set of stereomotorgraph slides, this time to illustrate weath-
ering as a geologic process, and the installation of three new cases in
physical geology, one devoted to an exhibit of pebbles showing the
part they play in geologic history, another to the illustration of the
preparation and meaning of topographic and geologic maps and
models of geologic structure, and the third an exposition of the work
done in the laboratories of the department.

The cataloging of all material received during the year was com-
pleted, this representing 2,269 entries and 1,791 types; 497 entries in
paleobotany included 833 type specimens.

During the seven months of the year in which Miss Margaret
Moodey was employed in work relating to the Springer collection of
fossil echinoderms, she was engaged chiefly with matters relative to

56 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

the preparation and publication of a synoptic list of Paleozoic pel-
matozoan genera, reading both galley and page proofs. At the close
of the year this work (Pt. 83, Fossilium Catalogus) was in final
page proof. Cataloging of new material for the collection, biblio-
graphic work, and the preparation of faunal lists of Paleozoic echi-
noderms occupied her attention the rest of the time.

Dr. Edwin Kirk in the course of his generic studies of the Inadu-
nata, Paleozoic crinoids abundantly represented in the Springer
collection, has prepared and identified a number of Mississippian
species, which have been incorporated in the study series.

Dr. Mary J. Rathbun, associate in zoology, continued her care of
the fossil crab collection and aided the department with her identi-
fications.

Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of Cenozoic invertebrates, reports the
completion of the labeling and cataloging of the Shimek collection
of loess shells as the outstanding work of the year.

The paleobotanical study series was much improved during the year
with the assistance of Drs. R. W. Brown and C. B. Read. With the
transfer from Johns Hopkins University of the many type and
other specimens of Mesozoic and Cenozoic plants assembled there
by Prof. Edward Berry, practically all the loaned material of fossil
plants has been returned to the Museum. These particular specimens
were checked by Dr. Brown and the entire collection placed in
permanent form. Similarly, Dr. Read was engaged on work cover-
ing a portion of the LaCoe collection of Paleozoic plants.

Dr. Lloyd G. Henbest continued to care for the Foraminifera and
was able to mount many of the specimens in permanent form. New
cases that have been ordered will enable a still safer and more
satisfactory arrangement of these microscopic organisms. The larger
Foraminifera continued in the care of the specialist on the subject,
Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan.

Dr. Charles Butts, in continuation of his field work for Georgia
and Virginia on the geologic mapping of these States, added much
paleontological material to our collections. In the laboratory he
was as heretofore engaged in the identification of the Paleozoic
faunas concerned with his studies.

The exhibition series of vertebrate fossils, under the supervision
of Curator C. W. Gilmore, was increased by the addition of a mounted
skeleton of Plesippus shoshonensis prepared by Thomas J. Horne.
Eventually this skeleton with others will be mounted in a group
illustrating the sex and growth stages of this extinct Pliocene horse.

A diorama illustrating the plant and animal life of the Jurassic
geological period was installed in the main exhibition hall, where,
likewise, the large painted restorations of Camarasaurus and Dime-
trodon were hung in suitable spaces on the walls. These illustrative

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 57

exhibits fill a long felt want as they do much to brighten, as well as
to explain pictorially, the exhibits of vertebrate fossils,

Assistant Curator C. L. Gazin prepared a special case with repre-
sentatives of fossil skulls and jaws of many of the orders of mammals,
arranged for ready comparison by the student. He also rearranged
and added various specimens to the case devoted to the display of
Cumberland Cave fossils, which, as a result, presents a much im-
proved appearance. For the study series he completed the identifica-
tion and cataloging of the 1936 and 1937 collections of Paleocene
mammals from New Mexico and Utah. The collection of Fort Union
Paleocene mammals, comprising more than 800 specimens from
Montana, recently returned from the American Museum of Natural
History, was assorted and arranged.

Norman H. Boss completed the preparation of all the delicate
lizard materials collected this past season, as well as much of the
tail of the large sauropod. Since completing the Plesippus skeleton,
Thomas J. Horne has been almost entirely engaged in the prepara-
tion of the bones of the sauropod dinosaur secured the past season.

Through W. P. A. assistance the preparation of Oligocene fossils
of the 1932 collection continued, and the cataloging, patching, and
numbering of specimens proceeded so well that this part of the work
may now be reported as practically current.

It can again be stated that the vertebrate collections, both study
and exhibition, are in the best ordered condition since the estab-
lishment of the division.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Dr. R. S. Bassler, head curator, completed Part 83 of the Fossilium
Catalogus, entitled “A Bibliographic Index of Paleozoic Pelmatozoan
Genera.” He was also engaged in the preparation of faunal lists for
another volume on the same subject and continued work on a volume
dealing with fossil Bryozoa, which is to form a part of a paleontologi-
cal series now in course of printing in Germany. Assistance in out-
lining scripts for two radio broadcasts, the preparation of talks to
teacher groups and other organizations, and similar duties occupied
considerable time, but all spare moments were devoted to the continua-
tion of studies on Silurian corals and Paleozoic crinoids.

Dr. W. F. Foshag, curator of mineralogy, completed an investiga-
tion of the Shallowater meteorite and began a study of the new Shaw
meteorite. Many evenings were spent on a section devoted to the ore
deposits of Mexico, to be included in the “Geology of North America,”
a volume of the series “Geologie der Erde.”

With 4 months in the field, and much accumulated routine to engage
his attention, E. P. Henderson, assistant curator of physical and chemi-

58 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

cal geology, found opportunity to make only brief laboratory inves-
tigations.

Curator Charles E. Resser, of the division of stratigraphic paleon-
tology, completed and read proof on his paper on the Cambrian of
the southern Appalachians. Proof of the monograph on Manchukuo,
with Dr. R. Endo, was read, but publication awaits the opening of the
new Science Museum at Mukden. The paper on the Cambrian of
eastern Asia was completed early in the year.

Assistant Curator G. A. Cooper began the study of the Chazyan
brachiopods. Work was started on this project in 1937, when Preston
E. Cloud prepared most of the specimens and made about 1,400 photo-
graphs. This help was made possible through a grant from the Geo-
logical Society of America, which was exhausted in September 1937.
In January 1938 the assistant curator started preparation of the man-
uscript and now has the orthoid brachiopods and the inarticulates
almost completed. This amounts to about 100 species in about 35
genera. )

The assistant curator and P. E. Cloud prepared and presented for
publication in the Journal of Paleontology a short paper on a new
Devonian fauna discovered in Calhoun County, I.

Work on the Michigan Brachiopoda has not progressed beyond the
stage of preparation and photography of the specimens. To date
about 200 specimens, future types, have been prepared and photo-
graphed.

Dr. E. O. Ulrich prepared correlation charts to go with the mono-
graph on Canadian brachiopods now in press.

C. W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate paleontology, finished a manu-
script, “On Ceratopsian Dinosaurs from the Two Medicine Formation,
Upper Cretaceous of Montana.” Much of the manuscript has been
written and illustrations prepared for a detailed osteological descrip-
tion of a new genus and species of lizard from Utah. Some manu-
script has been added to that already compiled for a history of the
division of vertebrate paleontology. Progress may also be reported
on a paper describing an Upper Cretaceous sauropod specimen col-
lected by the 1937 paleontological expedition.

Assistant Curator C. Lewis Gazin prepared a short manuscript
descriptive of the new Paleocene mammals collected by the 1937 expe-
dition in central Utah. He also prepared a manuscript on “Fossil
Peccary Remains from the Upper Pliocene of Idaho.” <A brief study
was made of a musk-ox skull sent to the National Museum from
Indiana, on which a report will be published during the year. Prog-
ress is also reported by the assistant curator on the study of Upper
Pliocene and Pleistocene mammalian fossils from the San Pedro
Valley in Arizona.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 59

Dr. Remington Kellogg continued his studies of fossil cetaceans,
devoting special attention to the Cetotheriidae, of which a mono-
graphic revision is planned.

Dr. Alexander Wetmore continued his study of fossil birds, pub-
lishing several short papers on that subject.

As usual, various members of the U. S. Geological Survey staff
with offices in the Museum building were engaged in study of the
collections. In the section of paleobotany, Dr. R. W. Brown nearly
completed the study of the Fort Union floras. Dr. C. B. Read com-
pleted the manuscript begun by the late Dr. David White describing
the Lower Pennsylvanian floras of Illinois. In invertebrate paleon-
tology, Dr. L. W. Stephenson and Dr. J. B. Reeside continued their
researches on Cretaceous paleontology, the former completing his
description of the Navarro group of Texas. Dr. W. C. Mansfield
was occupied with the Cenozoic faunas and completed several papers
on the Tertiary invertebrate fossils of Florida. Dr. Julia Gardner
finished her work on the molluscan fauna of the Alum Bluff group
of Florida, while F. Stearns MacNeil used the Museum collections in
his study of the pelecypod genus 7rinacria. Dr. Josiah Bridge rede-
scribed the Roemer Paleozoic types from Texas and deposited a set
of the casts in the collections. Dr. Charles Butts continued with
his study of the geology of Georgia and made progress with descrip-
tion of Paleozoic fossils of that State.

The identification of materials sent here for examination and report
demands a great deal of time. Within the year 725 lots were
received, distributed as follows:

Mineralogy, geology, and petrology___-___---__-.-___--._-. 557
Stratigraphic: paleontology: 2 2s eet ee ee 124
Wertebrate: paleontology. 2222-82 eh 44

As stated in previous reports, specimens brought to the department
by individuals and receiving immediate attention, as well as letters
asking for information, are not included here, and usually no record
of them is kept.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

The distribution of geological specimens was as follows: Gifts,
1,683 specimens; exchanges, 3,528 specimens; loans for study, 398
specimens.

(CARL W. Mirman, Head Curator)

Proeress in the dual work of preserving and increasing the collec-
tions of the department of arts and industries has brought improve-
ment in the condition of existing collections in the year that has
passed, but there was a material falling off in number of new acces-
~ sions. It is believed, however, that with improvement in the eco-
nomic situation, both public and industrial cooperation will become
less restricted and that a more normal balance of activities within
the department will result.

During the year three international expositions in which the
Smithsonian Institution participated were brought to a close, and
the head curator terminated his temporary duties as contact officer
for the Smithsonian Institution in these activities. At this writing
he is serving as co-chairman of the committee of Federal representa-
tives appointed to develop the exhibit theme “Education, Art, and
Recreation” for the New York World’s Fair 1939, and is also repre-
senting the Smithsonian Institution in matters pertaining to Federal
exhibits for the Golden Gate International Exposition, San Francisco,
1939.

Frank A. Taylor, curator of engineering, continued as associate
director of the W. P. A. project on the Historic American Merchant
Marine Survey until its termination in October 1937. Since then
he has served as consultant to the Florida Merchant Marine Survey
and to the Historic Marine Survey of California. These are con-
tinuing State projects patterned after the original Federal W. P. A.
project.

During the year the department had the assistance of 11 Works
Progress Administration workers assigned to the various divisions
and sections. With this help much was accomplished in clearing
up arrearages in arrangement of stored and study collections, as
well as in cataloging, labeling, installing exhibited collections, and
other curatorial matters.

On March 1, 1938, C. Allen Sherwin, scientific aide, division of
graphic arts, resigned, and on March 381, 1938, the services of Miss
Aida M. Doyle, aide, section of organic chemistry, terminated
through retirement. The vacant position of preparator in the divi-
sion of engineering was filled on October 16, 1937, by the appointment
of Kenneth M. Perry.

ACCESSIONS

The number of accessions—193—was 44 less than that for last year.
The number of specimens cataloged was 2,826, which were dis-
tributed among the various divisions and sections as follows: En-
gineering, 249; textiles, 222; organic chemistry, 28; wood technology,
748; medicine, 514; foods, 2; agricultural history, 2; graphic arts,
including photography, 561.

Engineering —Of the 56 accessions received, 33 (including 106
specimens) pertain to mechanical technology; 22 (111 specimens)
to aeronautics; and 1 (32 specimens) to mineral technology.

The transportation sections were the largest benefactors of new
material, the section of aeronautics alone receiving about 38 percent
of the new accessions, which consisted mainly of models of modern
and early aircraft. The following models are noteworthy: The
Vickers Vimy airplane, which made the first nonstop flight across
the Atlantic in 1919, presented by Vickers (Aviation), Ltd., and
Rolls-Royce, Ltd., London; the Sikorsky S—40, the first of the clipper
planes in service on airways over Florida, the West Indies, and
South America, a gift of Pan American Airways, New York; and
the Wilford gyro, presented by the Pennsylvania Aircraft Syndi-
cate. Phillips & Powis Aircraft, Ltd., Berks, England, presented
a model of the low-wing tractor monoplane Mohawk, the original
of which was made to the order of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and
is now being used by him. Several of the models received are of
planes employed in the airmail service of the United States. Among
them are: The Queen Bleriot monoplane, the first airplane to fly
mail in America, piloted by Earle Ovington on Long Island in the
fall of 1911, gift of J. Edward Reeves; the Curtiss modified “R”
used by Victor Carlstrom in the New York Times sponsored mail
flight from Chicago to New York, November 1916, presented by the
New York Times; and the Northrop airplane, the 1934 record holder
for transcontinental mail transport, presented by Jack Fry, president
of the Transcontinental & Western Air, Inc., who piloted the plane
between Los Angeles, Calf., and Newark, N. J., in the remarkable
time of 1114 hours.

A full-sized cable car of 1889 was added to the landcraft collection,
with sufficient equipment to reproduce the underground conduit and
cable. The car, which acquired its motion by mechanically grasping
a cable driven from a central winding station, was the first to operate
in Seattle, Wash., and was preserved and presented by the City of
Seattle Department of Public Works.

Automotive accessions include the gold medal awarded the Duryea
Motor Wagon Co., of Springfield, Mass., for the “punctual arrival”
of its cars at Brighton, England, in the first Motor Car Club Tour,

102117385

2 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

London to Brighton, in 1896. This was preserved and presented by
Mrs. David A. Reed, whose husband was an official of the original
company.

Original builders’ models of watercraft received during the year
include that of the schooner Daniel S. Williams, Jr., 1877, presented
by the American Car & Foundry Co., owner of the old Jackson and
Sharp Shipyard at Wilmington, Del. Models collected and for-
warded by the Florida Merchant Marine Survey included a pilot
sloop of 1898, and the sloop yacht Eclipse, from the yard of Capt.
Bat Fogerty, shipbuilder, Bradenton, Fla.; a sponge vessel of the
Greek type from A. Kaminis, Tarpon Springs, Fla.; the sponge sloop
Emily, from EK. P. Macrenaris, Tarpon Springs, Fla., and the stern
wheel river steamer “needa, from Capt. H. Hansen, Fort Myers, Fla.
Ralph EK. Cropley made two portraiture models of steamships, one of
the Leviathan, which was presented to the National Museum by
President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and one of the Carinthia, presented
by Fred J. Owen. Mr. Cropley also assembled nine volumes of scrap-
book material on the history of sailing vessels, which were presented
by Mrs. Edith K. Roosevelt and Fred J. Owen. The data included
make a highly valuable historical record and form an important addi-
tion to our files on this subject.

Three pieces of old telegraph apparatus of kinds not previously
represented in the collection were obtained from the Western Union
Telegraph Co. They are a Milliken repeater relay, used to repeat
signals automatically from one section of long line to the next, intro-
duced in 1864 and used to about 1880; a Varley artificial slide resist-
ance, used before 1890 to balance electrically ocean telegraph cables;
and a Rowland polar relay of about 1905, used with the Rowland
Automatic Telegraph System. B. L. Dolbear, son of Amos EH. Dol-
bear, professor of physics at Tufts College, and an active inventor
in the early days of the telephone, presented six pieces of telephone
apparatus of his father’s design, including a complete static telephone
wall set and several receivers.

A complete new operating exhibit of the automatic telephone ex-
change was presented and installed by the American Automatic
Electric Sales Co. <A novel feature of the equipment included is the
use of transparent enclosures of the hand phones and phone boxes,
which reveal coils, switches, and wiring not visible in standard equip-
ment. The National Broadcasting Co. presented a series of 10 orig-
inal radio microphones and models of microphones illustrating the
development of the microphone. The series includes a carbon tele-
phone transmitter, which was in use by wireless telephone experi-
menters about 1916; and several improved forms of the carbon micro-
phone. One of the prized instruments of the group is the so-called

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES 63

“tomato can” microphone used in the radio broadcast from the West-
inghouse Station KDKA, Pittsburgh, November 2, 1920, said to have
been the first announced radio broadcast.

In the section of metrology, W. H. Samelius, of Elgin Watch-
makers’ College, presented a dial gauge and an adjustable plier of
curious pattern to add to the many old clock and watchmakers’ tools
previously given by him. The New Haven Clock Co. presented sev-
eral clocks to maintain the small section of modern domestic time-
keepers up to date. A. J. Levin donated the inventors’ model of an
adding and subtracting machine constructed about 1900 by his father,
Judah L. Levin, who was the recipient of several patents for ingen-
ious calculating machines.

Miscellaneous accessions include a nicely preserved Frost Maker
refrigerating machine, presented by W. W. Stuart, who gave also an
early ice tray and ice-tray compartments. John D. Motsinger pre-
sented an old desk fan driven by a small hot-air engine heated by the
flame of an alcohol burner. It is a well-made forerunner of the
electric fan.

The section of tools and crafts received a well-executed specimen of
a wiped lead-pipe joint with a wiping pad and description of the
operation from the maker and donor, George Middleton. It is pre-
served as an example of a passing art. D. P. Curtis presented several
picks for dressing gristmill stones and a wrought-iron dog or hook
for holding logs to the carriage of an old water-driven, up-and-down
saw mill, and C. M. Himmelheber donated a pair of pipe tongs, which
preceded the pipe wrench for holding and turning pipe.

To the collections in mineral technology, the New Jersey Zinc Co.
added examples of raw material, ingots, and finished products illus-
trative of modern zinc products and fabrication.

Textiles, organic chemistry, wood technology, and medicine —The
1,487 specimens added to the collections in these divisions and sections
were contained in 74 accessions, 2 of which were joint accessions with
other departments. Approximately one-half of the specimens were
samples of woods.

The collections of early American homecraft textiles and needle-
work were considerably enhanced by gifts and loans, totaling 8 cover-
lets, 6 quilts, a linen tablecloth, 38 specimens of fine needlework, and
8 specimens of hair work. Among these were: A cotton patchwork
and applique quilt, “The Star of Bethlehem,” made in 1810, presented
by Mrs. Marvel Mildred Matthes, West Brighton, N. Y.; an “album”
or “autograph” quilt, made in 1849, a gift of Mrs. Laura Calder
Stonebraker, Hyattsville, Md.; a blue-and-white, double-weave,
Jacquard coverlet, “Lady’s Fancy,” woven in 1834, presented by Mrs.
Harriet Ross, Nantucket Island, Mass.; a pictorial sampler worked in

64 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

colored worsted cross-stitch on cotton canvas in 1840, donated by Mrs.
Laura J. Wasser, Kings Park, N. Y.; and 82 specimens, including
needlework, framework, stitchery tools, scarf, and ribbons, presented
by Mrs. Caroline Wolfley Shannon, Chevy Chase, Md.

Accessions to the general textile collections and worthy of note were
as follows: The Cotton-Textile Institute, New York City, and the
Celanese Corporation of America, New York City, continued their
valued cooperation of former years by contributing specimens of
present-day dress material illustrating new patterns and finishes.
Mrs. Elsie McDougall, Woodstock, N. Y., contributed a series of
specimens, collected by her in Mexico, illustrating some of the textile
arts of the native Indians in Oaxaca, including a specimen of the
parchmentlike silk nest of the gregarious butterfly Huchetra socialis
(Westwood). The Commercial Museum, Philadelphia, Pa., presented
a specimen of another source of wild silk, a nest spun by the gregari-
ous larvae of a moth, Hutachyptera psidii Sallé, from Vera Cruz,
Mexico; and Miss Helen M. Bradley, Bridgeport, Conn., donated a
small collection that includes a skein of silk reeled, twisted, and pre-
pared by Abigail Sherwood from silk cocoons raised by her in 1834;
a dress made by her from material woven in England using her silk;
and a bill showing the cost of spinning, weaving, and printing the
dress material.

Two interesting accessions received and assigned to the section of
agricultural history were the following: The original working model
and the patented mechanical hand-power milking machine, “Cow
Milker,” patented December 20, 1892 (U.S. Patent No. 488282), pre-
sented by Mrs. Bessie D. Mehring, Keymar, Md., wife of the inventor,
William M. Mehring; a hand-made, drum-type cotton planter, made
prior to 1900, presented by Ruben F. Vaughan, Honea Path, S. C.

Three of the accessions assigned to the section of wood technology
are noteworthy. One comprises 478 study samples of Peruvian woods
from the Field Museum of Natural History, collected with botanical
material by Llewelyn Williams of that institution. Another con-
sists of 107 samples of commercial woods of the United States from
the New York State College of Forestry, backed by herbarium ma-
terial, a set of which is deposited in our National Herbarium. A
third is made up of 141 wood samples of native and introduced trees
of Florida received from Milton Scott, Miami, Fla., and backed by
plant material in the Buswell Herbarium, University of Miami.

An outstanding accession in the division of medicine was a collec-
tion of 220 specimens of pharmaceutical preparations to illustrate
some oi the best-known therapeutic classes of medicines. Among the
specimens of particular interest are the diagnostic agents of bio-
logical derivation used in the laboratory diagnosis of tubercular in-

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES 65

fections, the several types of pneumonia, syphilis, diphtheria, and
typhoid fever. The collection was presented by Parke, Davis & Co.,
Detroit, Mich.

To the section devoted to the history of medicine was added a series
of 105 photographic prints of masterpieces of art, dating from 2830
B. C. to the present, tracing the use of the staff, the crutch, and other
appliances. This collection was developed by Dr. Sigmund Epstein,
New York City, who presented the set of prints mentioned. Other
donations to the section were: A pocket dental case, five instruments,
and a lancet from B. F. Arthur, Winchester, Va.; a complete spring
lancet with case, from Fred G. Orsinger, Washington, D. C.; two
framed copies of the diploma of Dr. W. T. G. Morton, from Morton
Otis; and six photographs relating to the history of medicine, from
Dr. Walter C. Alverez, Rochester, Minn.

The public-health collections of the division were enhanced by the
gift of 33 posters concerning dangerous patent medicines, quackery,
and infant welfare, from the American Medical Association, Chicago,
Ill.; 3 strip films donated by the Society for Visual Education, Chi-
cago, Lll., and 1 film dealing with “Bacterial Endocarditis and Val-
vular Disease,” presented by the American Heart Association, New
York City. These films are used to supplement the public-health
exhibits.

Graphic Arts—During the year a total of 63 accessions and 561
specimens were recorded in the division of graphic arts. Of these,
30 accessions and 3877 specimens were assigned to the graphic arts
section and 383 accessions and 184 specimens to the section of photog-
raphy.

Two noteworthy accessions in graphic arts were obtained through
transfer from other Federal departments. The larger of these in
point of number of specimens consisted of 8 exhibition cases and 321
specimens received from the Government Printing Office. The most
important single item was a Washington hand press manufactured
by R. Hoe & Co., while the other 320 specimens consisted of several
series—bookbinding, photoengraving in line and halftone, electro-
typing, and other processes used in the making of books.

The second accession was received from the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, Treasury Department, to improve the exhibit of bank-
note engraving and consisted of several steps in the making of an
Alto Roll for a banknote. Two engraved plates and two individual
altos were supplied, although to make a complete individual bank-
note at least four altos are needed.

In addition to these specimens, a number of etchings, prints, and
engravings were received as gifts yielding excellent examples of the

66 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

work of Alto Bacher, Joseph Margulies, Thomas Handforth, Charles
B. Keller, and Thomas W. Nason.

In the field of printing, two excellent examples of silk stencil work
were contributed by Leo H. Fuller, Inc., and the Lakeside Press
presented a fine color reproduction of an old print made by the
rubber offset process. There was received, too, from Thomas J.
Shannon, a very elaborate valentine in the original envelope in which
it was mailed in Circleville, Ohio. It is without stamps, simply
marked “Paid,” indicating its age as prior to 1856 for all local post
offices did not require stamps on “drop” mail until after that date.

Of the 33 accessions in the section of photography the following
are noteworthy: A modified Walcott camera made about 1840 by
Henry Fitz, Jr., and presented by Henry G. Fitz, Peconic, Long
Island, N. Y. This type of camera was invented by A. C. Walcott,
May 8, 1840, to give a nonreversed image. (The Patent Office model
is in the collections of photography.) The Fitz modification of the
Walcott camera produces a right-handed image. Many early daguerre-
otypes were also included in the accession, one of which, a portrait
of Henry Fitz, Jr., at the age of 29, taken in 1839, is claimed by the
conor to be the first daguerreotype portrait ever taken. A camera
obscura, which is said to have belonged to Thomas Jefferson, is
another historically and photographically interesting specimen re-
ceived during the year. It was lent by Mrs. H. N. Randolph, Char-
lottesville, Va., who also lent a revolving drawing table supposedly
from the same source.

Through the interested efforts of Frederick Gooch, Washington,
D. C., several important specimens of historical motion picture pro-
jectors were added to the collections. There was included a Powers
Cameragraph head, No. 5, 1904; a Motiograph motion picture head,
model No. 1, 1908, and an Edison Kinetoscope motion-picture projec-
tor head of 1908. In addition to these early types, Alton J. Pratt pre-
sented a Pathé motion-picture projector head, and the Motion-Picture
Machine Operators’ Protective Union No. 224, Washington, D. C.,
presented the Simplex motion-picture projector of 1919 that Douglas
Fairbanks gave to President Woodrow Wilson for use in the White
House during his illness.

The collection of pictorial prints numbers over 350 specimens and
represented in it are examples of the. work of the most notable artistic
photographers of the world. To this collection were added 20 pic-
torial photographs during the year. Included are examples of the
work of H. E. West, Arlington, Va.; Dr. J. B. Pardoe, Bound Brook,
N. J.; Edward Alenius, Basking Ridge, N. J.; and the late Nickolas
Boris, Cleveland, Ohio.

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

Engineering. —Of the two large installations undertaken, a new
case for the natural asphalt exhibit, which has been under construc-
tion for about 6 months, is nearing completion, and construction of
a base for the cable car that has stood blocked up on timbers in the
east hall was started toward the close of the year.

Completion of a new wall case early in the year permitted a more
compact and better installation of metrology exhibits, which in turn
provided space for the tools and dividing engines previously exhibited
in another hall. This change yielded an exhibition hall for the ex-
clusive use of the automobile collection and permitted considerable
improvement to be made in the exhibition of old cars. A complete
new operating exhibit of the automatic telephone switchboard was
installed by the donors.

Several improvements in the exhibition of aircraft were made, no-
tably, a wood and steel base for the Antarctic plane Polar Star and
an improved suspension of the Spirit of St. Louzs. Upon the return
of the models of commercial aircraft lent to the War Department
for exhibition at the Great Lakes Exposition, a better exhibition of
material relating to the history of airmail was effected. Fred C.
Reed and Kenneth M. Perry, aide and preparator, respectively, made
good progress with the permanent installation of stored collections.
The value of this work has been demonstrated by the ease with which
students in search of detailed material have been able to use the col-
lections without the physical labor previously involved in moving
stored material.

An important special exhibit was arranged during the year to com-
memorate the twentieth anniversary of air-mail service in the United
States, which was celebrated during the week of May 15. Paul E.
Garber, assistant curator, devoted considerable time to the collecting
of objects and information for the display and was able to prepare an
exhibit that was favorably noticed by Post Office officials and air-mail
enthusiasts. The one-hundredth anniversary of the inauguration of
ocean steam navigation was noted by a small special display of three
panels of photographs in the boat hall.

Textiles, organic chemistry, wood technology, agricultural history,
and medicine.—In the course of the year 7 new installations and ap-
proximately 50 rearrangements of exhibition materials were completed
in these divisions and sections. Of material help in this work was
the assistance of 6 W. P. A. workers, 1 of whom, Carvel H. Kirtley,
prepared 9,574 wood samples for the study collections.

Mrs. EK. W. Rosson, senior scientific aide, devoted much of her time
to developing new and rearranging old exhibits of early American tex-
tiles and needlecraft. She also supervised the cataloging and instal-

68 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

lation of specimens and directed the clerical work of the office. The
assistant preparator, Edward A. Avery, in addition to the preparation
of special installation fixtures and the setting up of exhibits in tex-
tiles, wood technology, organic chemistry, and medicine, gave much of
his time to the supervision of the daily work of four W. P. A. workers.

The routine preservation work carried on during the year consisted
of making and changing preserving solutions; fumigating, cleaning,
and dusting specimens; disinfecting cases and materials subject to
damage by insects; and maintaining operating exhibits. As many new
labels were printed as could be turned out by the Museum Print
Shop, but the majority of the labels were typed on the label machine.
Some labels were prepared by the cooperating firms and printed on
standard cardboard furnished by the Museum.

Graphic arts—During the year in the graphic arts section the
exhibit of drawing in black and white, colored crayons, pastel, and
water-color pencils was greatly improved by the addition of the latest
product in each substance and new information. All the pictures were
rematted and placed under glass for their protection from insects and
dirt. Four new exhibition cases made possible a more efficient showing
of the technical exhibits of etching and lithography. The substitution
of good-looking cases for aged cases of 50 years ago gives a more
dignified appearance to the connecting range.

Five new storage cases made possible the better arrangement of the
mounted material. Four of the traveling exhibits were remounted.
This involved the cutting of about 400 mats. Over 300 other mats
were cut and the specimens mounted in them. If this work can be
continued, the entire series of the division would be in excellent
condition.

Special exhibitions held during the year were as follows:

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Research by members of the staff of the department is largely
routine in nature and usually undertaken to develop facts about some
detail of engineering or industrial development or invention for the
purpose of locating and selecting material for the collections; the
preparation of permanent and special exhibits; and the furnishing
of information for reply to many inquiries.

Dr. F. L. Lewton, curator of textiles, continued his studies in con-
nection, with the invention and development of the cotton gin. The
results appeared in the appendix to the Annual Report of the Smith-
sonian Institution for 1937 under the title “Historical Notes on the
Cotton Gin.” A study of the sources and uses of wild silk by Dr.
Lewton was prompted by the gift of new material collected in Mexico
and the rediscovery of specimens of wild silk in the old textile exhib-
its stored since 1890. He is now engaged in a study of all the speci-
mens in the Museum illustrating the decoration of fabrics by pattern
resist dyeing of warp and weft, tie-dyeing resist, and “Ikat” and
“Palengi” techniques, and in tracing their distribution in Central
and South America.

William N. Watkins, assistant curator, section of wood technology,
investigated the 30 woods in the Panama collection in order to be
assured that their identity could not be questioned. This was done
preparatory to sending a portion of the collection to Dr. Ellwood S.
Harrar at Duke University, who had agreed to return mounted slides
for microscopical examination. The work not only covered the check-
ing of each plant sheet backing these woods but also the checking
of the woods with others of the same species until agreement was
reached. Examinations were continued, too, on woods of the Krukoff
collection from Brazilian Amazonia.

70 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

The staff of the department was consulted frequently during the year
by writers, students, engineers, patent attorneys, and members of
the staffs of other museums or historical societies seeking information
or advice in the preparation of exhibits or museum programs. Study
specimens of woods for technical research and for use in training
students in crime detection were furnished to the Technical Research
Laboratory, Police Academy, Brooklyn, N. Y., and to the Institute
of Criminal Science, Washington, D. C. In connection with studies
of toxic plants, B. A. Krukoff, associated with the New York Botan-
ical Garden, requested and received from the Museum samples of the
bark, sawdust, and chips of all the woods of the Simarubaceae which
he had collected on his fifth expedition to Brazilian Amazonia.

Utilization of the department’s collections by other Government
bureaus continued. Attorneys of the Department of Justice studied
units of the aircraft collection in connection with infringement suits;
data were furnished the Department of Commerce for use in pre-
paring a series of radio broadcasts “Stories of American Industries” ;
assistance was rendered the Office of Education, Department of In-
terior, in the preparation of the “World is Yours” series of radio
broadcasts. One of these, on “Electricity,” was awarded second place
in a national rating for the year by the Institute of Education by
Radio. As in former years, the department made many identifica-
tions of wood materials for the Forest Products Division, Depart-
ment of Commerce; Procurement Division, Treasury Department;
National Park Service, Interior; and the Navy Department.

Frank A. Taylor, curator of engineering, visited industrial plants
in the vicinity of Pittsburgh to examine engineering relics and to
discuss proposed new exhibits tentatively offered by industrialists
there. At the same time he visited the Carnegie Museum at Pitts-
burgh. Dr. F. L. Lewton, curator of textiles, visited Clinton, Mass.,
to examine relics of Erastus Bigelow, the most famous American
inventor of carpet machinery, preserved in the local museum of his
home town. He devoted also some time in Williamsport, Md., to
study the tanning of leather in the factory of W. D. Byron & Sons.

Thirteen lots of material were received for examination and report.
In addition, the staff made almost daily examinations and identifica-
tions of watches, textile fabrics, wood, prints, metals, and scientific
apparatus brought in by inquirers.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

The distribution of specimens from the department totaled 3,715,
consisting of specimens, photographs, and prints. Four traveling
exhibits on “How Prints are Made,” comprising 2,752 specimens,
were lent to 12 colleges, 7 public libraries, 3 high schools, and 3 art

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES 71

museums scattered in 15 States. In addition, the department donated
170 items to educational institutions; distributed 518 specimens as
loans, and made 271 exchanges. Of the gifts, a noteworthy one was
that of four transparencies made by Edward Muybridge, pioneer in
motion-picture photography, to the Royal Photographic Society,
London.

NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DEPARTMENT

The specimens in the department at the close of the year numbered
129,480, distributed as follows:

DIVISION OF HISTORY
(THEODORE T. BELoTE, Curator)

In addition to research accomplished by members of the staff of
the division of history during the year, much work was completed
in connection with the listing, marking, cleaning, and arranging of
specimens in the exhibition and storage series. This work was facili-
tated by the fact that except in the case of the numismatic collection
no changes of major importance were made in the general arrange-
ment during the past. year.

ACCESSIONS

The additions to the collection received during the year, 85 acces-
sions, including 2,582 specimens, exceeded those of last year by more
than 600 specimens.

The art collection was increased by a portrait of Admiral Albert
Gleaves, U. S. Navy, which was presented by Mrs. Gleaves, and a
portrait of Brig. Gen. Hiram Berdan, presented by the estate of
Miss Ella F. Larkin.

To the costume collection was added a silk dress worn by Miss
Katherine Brooke, of Middleburg, Va., on the occasion of her mar-
riage in 1792, and a silver knee buckle worn during the War of the
Revolution by Lt. Col. Levin Powell of the Continental Army. ‘These
two eighteenth-century relics were presented by Miss Anne Magill
Fauntleroy.

To the large collection of mementos of the career of Brand Whit-
lock already presented to the Museum by Mrs. Whitlock was added
as a further gift from her the appointment document of Mr. Whitlock
as Ambassador to Belgium dated September 30, 1919, and the diploma
of the Medaille Commemorative du Comité National that was awarded
to Mr. Whitlock by the Belgian Government on November 13, 1919.

The series of awards and personal mementos relating to the his-
tory of science was enriched by the gift of a number of gold medals,
academic hoods, and other objects pertaining to the scientific career
of Dr. Charles D. Walcott, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution,
1907-1927. These objects, which were presented by Mrs. Charles D.
Walcott, included the J. J. Bigsby medal awarded to Dr. Walcott
in 1895 by the Geological Society of London; the F. V. Hayden medal
awarded to him in 1905 by the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila-
delphia; the Wollaston medal awarded to him in 1918 by the Geologi-
cal Society of London; the Mary Clark Thompson medal awarded to
him in 1921 by the National Academy of Sciences; the Albert Gaudry

DIVISION OF HISTORY 73

Prize Plaque awarded to him in 1917 by the Geological Society of
France; and academic hoods and other insignia worn by Dr. Wal-
cott when he received honorary degrees from the University of
Chicago, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Cam-
bridge, Yale University, St. Andrews University, the University of
Pittsburgh, the University of the State of New York, and the Uni-
versity of Paris. Included also are a gold watch and chain worn
by Dr. Walcott and two hammers used by him in the course of his
field work as a paleontologist.

Several pieces of parlor furniture made in Paris for President
James Monroe in 1817 and used in the White House from that time
until 1987 were received as a loan from the White House for an
indefinite period. This furniture includes two sofas, two ottomans,
eight side chairs, and four armchairs. Each piece is decorated in
gilt and upholstered in light-blue damask. The carvings, which are
few and simple, represent oak leaves and scroll work. ‘The uphol-
stery designs include oval shields, plumes, and floral designs.

To the numismatic collection there came from the Treasury De-
partment examples of the United States coins struck at the Denver,
Philadelphia, and San Francisco mints in 1987 and a bronze medal
commemorating the appointment of Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross as
Director of the Mint in 1933.

Examples of the following commemorative half-dollars were re-
ceived: From the Antietam Celebration Commission, two examples
of the Antietam half-doliar; from the Arkansas Centennial Com-
mission, two examples of the Arkansas Centennial half-dollar; from
the Daniel Boone Bicentennial Commission, one example of the
Daniel Boone half-dollar; from the manager of the Norfolk Adver-
tising Board, two examples of the Norfolk half-dollar; from the
Pennsylvania State Commission, two examples of the Gettysburg
half-doHar.

A lot of current foreign coins was received from the American
Numismatic Association as an addition to the large loan collection of
this association and includes specimens from Austria, Belgium, Den-
mark, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Poland,
Rumania, Sweden, and Switzerland, as well as examples of many
coins struck in 1936-37 for circulation in various other parts of the
world.

A number of interesting medals were added to the numismatic
collection, including a bronze medal commemorating the invention
of the bifocal lens by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, from the Bausch
& Lomb Optical Co.

The philatelic series was increased by the transfer from the Post
Office Department of 2,088 specimens of current foreign postage
stamps, cards, and envelopes,

74. REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938
INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

As in the case of most large museum collections developed during
a long period of time without a corresponding increase in housing
facilities, the National Museum historical collections, both exhibition
and storage, now occupy a crowded space. Very few general changes
can be made in these collections until more adequate housing facili-
ties are available. A complete survey of the storage system was
undertaken by Assistant Curator Charles Carey, and as a result sey-
eral improvements were effected.

A number of changes were made in the arrangement of the art,
costume, domestic, military, and numismatic collections. To the art
exhibition series was added a group of drawings by Robert Dudley,
showing historic scenes during the laying of the first Atlantic tele-
graph cables. The domestic collection was rearranged in order to
install the James Monroe furniture received from the White House.

The most important addition to the exhibition series was the com-
pletion of four cases devoted to the achievements and careers of the
four secretaries of the Smithsonian Institution who served during
the period from 1846 to 1927. The cases have been placed near the
center of the main hall in the Smithsonian Building. The installa-
tion of these cases was proposed in 1934, and two of them were com-
pleted in 1935. During the past year material to complete the Spen-
cer F. Baird case was procured from the division of birds through
the cooperation of Dr. Herbert Friedmann and from the Smithsonian
Archives through the help of H. W. Dorsey. Material for the Charles
D. Walcott case came through the generous cooperation of Mrs.
Charles D. Walcott. Several fine examples of the trilobites collected
by Dr. Walcott were contributed by the department of geology
through Dr. R. S. Bassler, and a number of interesting Walcott docu-
ments were supplied from the Smithsonian Archives.

Three important jobs were completed during the year in connec-
tion with the numismatic collection. The series of silver coins was
cleaned; the entire collection was reinstalled in accordance with a
fixed topical and chronological scheme of arrangement; and the exhi-
bition series was enriched by the addition of many specimens not
previously exhibited. This work entailed the individual handling of
thousands of specimens and the verification of a corresponding num-
ber of labels and records.

The collection of United States medals was completely reinstalled,
and several new medals were added. The entire series was divided
into the following groups: Local medals of award; local commemo-
rative medals; local portrait medals; national medals of award; and
national commemorative medals. Each of the groups includes many
medals of special historical and numismatic interest. The series is of

DIVISION OF HISTORY 715

special interest also from the viewpoint of portraiture and is an
expression of the local interest in various phases of American biog-
raphy. The present arrangement of the hall renders it easy for the
visitor to locate the coins and medals belonging to any one of the
groups.

A number of mechanical improvements were made in the methods
of exhibiting the collection, including a more regular arrangement of
the shelving, the relining of several cases, and the adoption of a type
of label especially suited to indicate the historical significance of the
main types of material shown in the numismatic hall.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

As in previous years, the division of history cooperated with the
Treasury Department in assembling data concerning the legal status
of American and foreign gold coin since the withdrawal in 1933 of
United States gold coin from circulation. Cooperation with the De-
partment of the Interior included a review of the following Smith-
sonian—Bureau of Education radio broadcasts: “The American
Sword”; “The American Medal”; “Abraham Lincoln”; “Christmas
in the Colonies”; and “Independence Day.” Cooperation with the Post
Office Department included the preparation of a special exhibition
under the auspices of the department of arts and industries, of post-
age stamps shown on the occasion of the celebration of the twen-
tieth anniversary of the establishment of air mail in the United
States and in connection with the diffusion of information concern-
ing the original objects that have served as subjects for postage-
stamp designs. Cooperation with societies and institutions included
the installation of a special exhibition of coins in the Natural History
Building on the occasion of a lecture given by William M. Simpson,
under the auspices of the Twentieth Century Club, on the making
of coins and medals.

Considerable research was undertaken to aid in the preparation of
an adequate and comprehensive set of exhibition labels for the entire
historical series to supersede the present series. The preparation of
labels of this type is particularly important in connection with ex-
hibits that include objects of intrinsic as well as historical interest,
such as the Lewis collection of domestic mementos of General and
Mrs. Washington, the John B. Copp collection, and the Myers-Bailey-
Mason-James collection.

Much work was accomplished in the task of assembling a series of
photographic negatives to represent adequately the varied character
of the historical collections. The section of philately assembled a
large series of negatives illustrating original objects that have served
as subjects for the designs of United States postage stamps. These

76 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1938

negatives should prove of much interest and value to collectors who
are now devoting attention to this form of philatelic research.

The curator has assembled much data in connection with the narra-
tive history of numismatic materials, the classification of such mate-
rials, and the best methods of utilizing them in the general field of
historical museum work. As the result of research of this character
an entirely new concept of the science of numismatics will eventually
result, and the advantages to be derived from the proper use of
numismatic materials in the museum field will be made clear to the
student and to the general public.

A scientific inquiry is being pursued by the assistant curator on the
subject of military uniforms and insignia. The evolution of the
American uniform, the origin and symbolism of the designs, and the
relationship between the American and foreign series of such objects
all offer a fertile field for research to the museum investigator. The
data collected in this connection are not merely of literary value, but
often serve the practical purpose of assisting in the identification of
historical portraits.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

During the year 24 specimens were returned to the owners or their
legal representatives, and 5 specimens were lent for study and display

purposes.
