REPORT ON THE PROGRESS AND CONDITION OF
THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1942

By ALEXANDER WETMORE

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

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR
APPROPRIATIONS

Founps available for the preservation of the collections of the
United States National Museum for the fiscal year ended June 380,
1942, were provided by the appropriation “Preservation of Collec-
tions, Smithsonian Institution,” in the Executive and Independent
Offices Act approved April 5, 1941. This appropriation covers the
salaries of the administrative and technical staff, the subprofessional
staff, and the clerical, watch, labor, and char forces, and includes a
small sum for miscellaneous expenditures for supplies and equipment.
Funds for the maintenance and operation of the Museum buildings
were provided by an allotment from the appropriation “General
Expenses, Smithsonian Institution.” The printing and binding ac-
tivities of the Museum were covered by an allotment from the ap-
propriation “Printing and Binding, Smithsonian Institution.” In
addition to the funds indicated above, the Museum received from
Public Act No. 200 approved August 1, 1941, certain sums for pro-
motions for personnel. The appropriations and allotments for the
work of the Museum and for maintenance and operation of our build-
ings are summarized as follows:

Z, REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

Changes in the various items are outlined as follows:

In the appropriation for Preservation of Collections the only change
from the preceding year was an increase in the amount available for
salaries, which was used entirely for promotions. There was no change
in the number of personnel. The promotions were most welcome, since
lack of funds for this purpose had constituted one of the most serious
problems in the administration of the National Museum, as has been
mentioned in many previous reports.

The allotment providing for maintenance and operation of build-
ings was $11,475 less than in the preceding year, owing to a nonrecur-
ring appropriation of $12,500 for construction of a sewer, funds for
which were available for the fiscal year 1941, when this work was fin-
ished. ‘The funds received for promotions under Public Act No. 200
added $1,025, thus accounting for the difference of $11,475 in total
appropriation. In this activity, as well as in Preservation of Collec-
tions, the only change from normal, therefore, was the receipt of money
for promotions, there being no change in the number of personnel or in
the amount available for general expenditures.

The allotment for printing and binding available to the Museum was
increased by $12,750 over the amount available in the fiscal year 1941.
In view of the large quantity of manuscript awaiting publication this
increase was most welcome.

The need for more space for the Museum’s collections becomes an-
nually more acute, and the problem is one that can be met only by addi-
tional construction. The present war situation prohibits full consider-
ation of the matter at this time, because any construction will require
steel, cement, and labor now needed for the war effort. The question
is therefore one to be deferred until building conditions permit. In
the report for last year there was indicated the great increase in value
of our national collections through the operations of extended war.
This value rises yearly with the destruction that continues in the war
zones, as this embraces injury not only to various museum collections
but also to the original sources from which such collections are built.
Occupation of island areas by armed forces or encroachment through
the necessities of military development may unwittingly destroy for-
ever species of animals and plants of restricted number and range. For
example, Wake Island in the Pacific is the home of a flightless land
rail that can easily be exterminated because of its limited range. What
may become of the last individuals of the Sumatran rhinoceros under
present conditions no one may prophesy. There are hundreds of spe-
cies found under equally uncertain circumstances, so that it is fortu-
nate to have examples of many of them in the Museum’s collection
where they will serve for future study and record not otherwise pos-

sible.

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 3

Under such circumstances our treasures in plant and animal life,
living and fossil, in anthropology, in history, in art, and in engineering
and the industries demand the most detailed and specific care so that,
under the stress of the moment, they may not suffer neglect and dam-
age. They comprise a trust that must be preserved for the culture
and life of future generations in our nation.

COLLECTIONS

The impact of the war had no great effect this year on the receipt
of specimens as additions to the vast and highly valuable collections
in the United States National Museum. New materials accessioned
came principally through expeditions financed and arranged by the
Smithsonian Institution under funds contributed by the Institution
or by its friends. Many individuals also made gifts of specimens
that are much appreciated.

The total number received is about average for recent years. New
material came in 1,388 separate accessions, with a total of 284,582
specimens distributed among the five departments as follows:
Anthropology, 3,000; biology, 245,200; geology, 32,418; engineering
and industries, 2,415; and history, 1,549.

For examination and report 1,142 lots of specimens were received,
including the usual considerable variety of objects. A part of these
was returned by request to the senders when examination was com-
pleted and report made, a part was consumed or otherwise destroyed
during identification and analysis, and a part was presented by the
senders to form addition to the permanent collections of the Museum.
The specimens named included large sendings of plants, insects,
mollusks, marine invertebrates, geological material, and a variety
of other items.

Gifts of duplicates to schools, museums, and other institutions
numbered 2,262 specimens. Exchanges of duplicate materials with
other institutions and individuals amounted to 18,423 specimens, and
319 specimens were transferred to other governmental agencies.
Loans for scientific study for the use of investigators outside of
Washington totaled 47,947, the handling of these in packing, ship-
ment, and subsequent return requiring a vast amount of labor.

Following is a summary of the entries now included in the
Museum catalogs in all departments:

4 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

EXPLORATIONS AND FIELD WORK

The year’s explorations by members of the staff yielded much
valuable new information and highly useful series of specimens in
various fields. The work was financed mainly through funds pro-
vided by the Smithsonian Institution and by interested friends. With
the active entry of this country into the war in December, the pro-
gram for field activities was definitely curtailed. From that date
expeditions were restricted to those working at the time or those
required because of commitments previously made. Though the scope
of the work was therefore decidedly less than in normal years, val-
uable results were obtained.

Walter W. Taylor, Jr., honorary collaborator in anthropology,
completed archeological explorations around Cuatro Ciénegas in
Coahuila, northern Mexico, which he inaugurated during the previous
fiscal year. Excavations were made in “Fat Burro Cave” and “Nopal
Shelter” in Canyon de Jora, situated about 21 miles west of Cuatro
Ciénegas. He then moved camp to Sierra de San Vicente, 20 miles
southeast of Cuatro Ciénegas, where he excavated a large site called
“rightful Cave,’ located in the only through-canyon in the San
Vicente Range. This cave measured about 200 feet long and tapered
in width from 30 feet at the entrance to 3 feet at the rear. The
deposits ranged in depth from 10 to 3 feet, consisting of compact
floors at the bottom over which were superimposed strata of fire-
cracked stones, ash, and fiber. Upon completing these excavations,
Mr. Taylor devoted about four weeks to the preservation and listing
of the specimens recovered and to a reconnaissance and excavation of
16 burial niches in small canyons throughout the area.

Besides the customary artifacts of fiber, wood, stone, bone, and
shell, Mr. Taylor found a desiccated infant burial wrapped in two
layers of hide and mats. Other noteworthy specimens recovered
from “Fat Burro Cave” consist of an atlatl, or throwing-stick fore-
shaft, with an arrow attached by sinew; a series of split-twig loops,
comparable to those from the Big Bend area in Texas; stone pro-
jectile points similar to those from caves along the Pecos River,
Tex.; and a few pieces of split-stitch basketry. From “Frightful
Cave” he recovered twilled woven bags filled with buckeyes, grooved
clubs, four distinct types of fiber sandals, twined woven mats, and
aprons. All the material collected was packed and transported to
Mexico City for inspection by the scientists of the Instituto Nacional
de Antropologia e Historia, where Mr. Taylor received every possible
courtesy from the director of the Institute, Sr. Lic. Alfonso Caso, and
the director of the Department of Prehispanic Monuments of the
Institute, Sr. Ing. Ignacio Marquina. The expedition returned to
the United States National Museum on September 1, 1941. At the

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 5

end of the year Mr. Taylor was preparing a detailed archeological
report covering the work accomplished.

From the end of May to the middle of June 1942 Frank M. Setzler,
head curator of anthropology, was detailed to the National Park
Service to direct a rapid archeological reconnaissance within the
canyons formed by the Yampa and Green Rivers in northwestern
Colorado and eastern Utah, in order to locate and evaluate the pre-
historic caves, shelters, and village sites within an area that may
be inundated eventually if proposed dams are built along these rivers.
The expedition traveled by boat through the various rapids within
the canyon and discovered and tested numerous sites. A detailed
report covering the results of these investigations was prepared and
submitted to the National Park Service before the close of the year.

In the department of geology field trips to the West for fossil
vertebrates and invertebrates were so successful that the value of such
explorations to the Institution may again be stressed.

Dr. C. E. Resser, curator of invertebrate paleontology, accompanied
by George Burke Maxey, of Missoula, Mont., spent the summer in Mon-
tana and the Canadian Rockies, with a brief collecting trip into the
northern Wasatch Mountains in search of Cambrian fossils. In the
Canadian Rockies they devoted the first two weeks to the study of
Cambrian beds in the mountains adjacent to the Bow Valley, chiefly
at Castle Mountain, and in the Valley of Ten Peaks at Moraine Lake,
near which excellent fossils were found on Eiffel Peak. They chose
the territory between Lake Louise and Field as likely to prove most
productive, but before exploring it they made a brief trip over the
new Jasper road but found that most sections were inaccessible from
this highway. In fact, everywhere in this region work is most diffi-
cult from roads and camps, because nearly 2,000 feet of unfossiliferous
quartzitic strata, fringing the valleys with great cliffs, must be climbed
before a day’s work can be begun: wherefore the only satisfactory
way to study the geology of the Canadian Rockies is by pack train,
with camps established along timberline.

Dr. Resser and Mr. Maxey spent more than a month in camp at
the foot of Mount Stephen, three miles west of Field, working thence
as far east as Lake Louise, and west beyond Emerald Lake. For
nearly three-quarters of a century the fossil bed on Mount Stephen
has been known to paleontologists throughout the world. The trail
leading up from Field is only three miles long but climbs 2,700 feet,
so that bringing fossils down becomes an arduous task. With per-
mission of the Canadian National Park Service excellent material
was collected here. On the first trip to this section Dr. Resser was ac-
companied by Prof. J. W. Laverdiére and Prof. F. Rasetti, of Laval
University in Quebec, and Prof. L. G. Morin, of the University of
Montreal, together with their assistants. On a second trip he was

6 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

assisted by Profs. Don and Velma Lentz, of the University of Nebraska.

Later Dr. Resser visited the Burgess Pass locality, where Dr. C. D.
Walcott, former secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, discovered
the most remarkable early fossils yet known. Collecting in the old
quarry at Burgess Pass now is very difficult because of the great over-
burden above the fossil beds, but on the slopes above many trilcbites
may still be found.

Since it was not feasible to reach the sections adjacent to the Co-
lumbia River trench as planned, Dr. Resser took advantage of Mr.
Maxey’s precise knowledge of the northern Wasatch Mountains in
Idaho and Utah and made a brief visit to that area. Excellent col-
lections were made at Calls Fort north of Brigham, on High Creek
east of Richmond in Cache Valley, and at Spence Gulch on the eastern
side of the Bear River Range. No one had been able to find the last-
named collecting locality until Bishop Spence, son of the man who
originally accompanied Dr. Walcott in 1905, several years ago assisted
Mr. Maxey in relocating it.

Dr. G. A. Cooper, associate curator of invertebrate paleontology,
left Washington on June 10, 1941, with Dr. Josiah Bridge, of the
United States Geological Survey, for Tazewell, Va., where he worked
for three days with a party of Virginia geologists. After leaving
Dr. Bridge in Bristol, Dr. Cooper continued on to meet Dr. N. D.
Newell in Fort Worth, Tex., and collected in north-central Texas for
three days with Dr. Ralph H. King, of the Kansas Geological Survey.
After this he went to Marathon, Tex., where he spent a month collect-
ing Permian limestone blocks containing silicified fossils. Dr. Newell
left the party in Marathon in mid-July, and Dr. Cooper was then
joined for ten days by Dr. C. O. Dunbar and P. E. Morris, of Yale
University. Late in July he joined Mrs. J. H. Renfro and daughter
at Fort Worth for investigations in the Pennsylvanian rocks of Jack
County and in the Cretaceous rocks around Fort Worth. Here many
interesting fossils were obtained.

Early in August Dr. Cooper proceeded to Ardmore, Okla., to collect
Devonian and Ordovician fossils. Here he spent three days and then
continued to Ada, Okla., where he was joined by Dr. C. G. Lalicker, of
the University of Oklahoma, who guided him to numerous localities
where free Pennsylvanian fossils can be collected. From Ada he
went to Muskogee for a few days, with C. L. Foster as guide. Here
a fine collection of Mississippian fossils was obtained. From Mus-
kogee a short trip into southern Kansas was made to collect Pennsyl-
vanian fossils. Then, after collecting Mississippian fossils near
Vinita for several days, he headed east, with Corydon, Ind., as his
destination, and after a day there with Guy Campbell he returned to
Washington early in September.

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR i

His season’s work resulted in four tons of blocks containing silicified
fossils collected in the Glass Mountains, and many thousand specimens
of free Pennsylvanian fossils obtained in north-central Texas and
Oklahoma. The Museum now owns an important lot of Permian and
Pennsylvanian fossils, the result of three seasons of collecting by
Dr. Cooper in these fields.

Dr, Cooper also made a short trip into southern Pennsylvania in
the middle of May with Dr. Charles Butts and Dr. Josiah Bridge to
study Ordovician rocks.

Starting early in June 1942, C. W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate
paleontology, led a party to explore the Oligocene rocks of eastern
Wyoming and western Nebraska, where good progress in the dis-
covery of mammalian remains has already been reported. Mr. Gil-
more had as assistant the experienced collector George H. Sternberg
and was accompanied also by Alfonso Segura Paguaga, of the Museo
Nacional, San José, Costa Rica. The account of these operations will
be carried in next year’s report.

As the field expedition in vertebrate paleontology under Dr. C.
Lewis Gazin, associate curator, extended well into the present year,
only brief mention was made of it in last year’s report. The party
was successful in obtaining some unusually good material of the
smaller mammals, the most outstanding being the lower Jaws and
fragmentary parts of the skeleton of the rare edentate Stylinodon.
Good materials were also secured of such larger perissodactyl forms
as Hyrachyus and Palacosyops. <A large slab of turtle remains should
make an interesting exhibition piece. A small collection of Paleocene
mammals was obtained from the Alma formation in western Wyoming.

In the first half of the year Dr. W. F. Foshag, curator of mineralogy
and petrology, was in Washington, devoting much of his time to
activities relating to former strategic mineral investigations in
Mexico. In February he returned to Mexico, under a cooperative
arrangement with the U. S. Geological Survey and the Board of
Economic Warfare, to direct further strategic mineral work. He
continued in the field for the rest of the fiscal year.

In continuation of work begun last year by Dr. Alexander Wetmore,
M. A. Carriker, Jr., in March began further studies and collections
of birds in northeastern Colombia. From Codazzi in the Department
of Magdalena he traveled into the mountains to establish a base that
gave access to the higher peaks along the Venezuelan border. These
investigations were supplemented by collections in the lowland areas,
of value in connection with materials secured in March 1941 at Cara-
colicito in the drainage of the Rio Ariguani. As this work continued
into the next fiscal year it will be reported on more fully there. These
studies were carried on under the W. L. Abbott fund of the Smith-
sonian Institution.

8 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

From March 17 until May 15, 1942, Dr. Remington Kellogg, curator
of mammals, with Watson M. Perrygo, scientific aide, as assistant, was
engaged in excavating Rampart Cave, located in the lower cliff-form-
ing member of the Middle Cambrian Peasley limestone on the south
side of the lower end of the Colorado River canyon in the Boulder Dam
National Recreational Area, Arizona. This was a cooperative project
undertaken by the Smithsonian Institution and the National Park
Service. The last-mentioned agency detailed Edward T. Schenk, senior
geological foreman, Samuel D. Hendricks, assistant engineer, Dr.
Gordon C. Baldwin, archeologist, Ray Poyser, boat pilot, and seven
men from the Boulder City C.C.C. camp for intervals of varying
length to assist in the work. Skeletal remains of ground sloths,
mountain goats, pumas, marmots, skunks, and several species of birds,
lizards, and snakes were obtained in an extensive deposit of ground-
sloth dung. Part of the cave was left undisturbed to serve for future
use should it be desired to develop a display for visitors.

Dr. Leonard P. Schultz, curator of fishes, spent the period from
February 1 to May 26 working in Venezuela, in connection with the
Department of State’s program for promoting cultural relations with
the other American countries. Two weeks were occupied in Caracas,
where he consulted with men in the scientific groups, and the remainder
of his time he spent in the Maracaibo Basin in studying the fish fauna
of that region. His work there was made possible through the friendly
cooperation of the Lago Petroleum Corporation at Maracaibo and
Lagunillas. He spent eight days in the Andes in the valleys of the
Rio Motatan, Rio Chama, Rio Catatumbo, and Rio Torbes and col-
lected about 10,000 fish specimens, representing about 115 species,
along with other natural-history material. The fish collection is the
most complete one that has been made in this region and will afford
information of great value in this field of zoology.

Dr. E. A. Chapin, curator of insects, in connection with this same
program of the State Department, worked for six weeks in Colombia,
during February and March. He spent approximately five weeks in
and around Bogota, mainly at the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales
located at the University Center. Through the courtesy of Dr. Ar-
mando Dugand, director of the Instituto, his work was carried on with
the close cooperation of Luis M. Murillo, chief entomologist of the
Colombian Government, Francisco Otoya, assistant entomologist, and
Hernando Osorno, preparator. Several field trips arranged and con-
ducted by Sr. Murillo permitted Dr. Chapin to become personally
acquainted with some of the major entomological problems of the
country. These included investigations in the citrus regions near
Cachetaé, Pacho, and Guateque, and two trips into the paramo near
Guasca. During the fifth week of his stay he visited the agricultural
institute at Medellin, where work on the collection of insects is in

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 9

charge of Dr. F. L. Gallego. From Medellin the party, consisting of
Sr. Murillo, Sr. Otoya, Sr. Cabal, an entomological student, and Dr.
and Mrs. Chapin, went to Cali to see the Agricultural Experiment
Station at Palmira. While in Cali Dr. Belisario Losada escorted the
party on a collecting trip into the Cordilleras. They then returned to
Bogota for a final week of work at the Instituto. Special attention
was given to the family Coccinellidae, one of considerable economic
importance in Colombia, and plans were formulated for further col-
laboration by the Instituto and the United States National Museum,
looking toward a monographic account of the Coccinellidae of
Colombia.

C. V. Morton, assistant curator of plants, spent the months of Octo-
ber and November in Cuba, a trip sponsored by the National Museum
and the Department of State, for the dual purpose of botanical field
work and the furthering of cooperation with Cuban scientists. A
part oi his time was occupied in making partial catalogs of the ferns
in various herbaria. Field work was undertaken in cooperation with
the Cuban Department of Agriculture, and most of it was carried out
with Sr. Acufia and Sr. Alonzo, of the Estacidn Agrondémica at San-
tiago de Las Vegas. Collections were made in the mountainous part
of Oriente, especially on the Sierra Nipe, and the northern slopes of
the Sierra Maestra. Later, collections were made in the Trinidad
Mountains of Las Villas, from the Harvard Botanical Garden at
Soledad as a base, and in the Sierra de Los Organos in Pinar del Rio,
through the friendly interest of the Colegio de La Salle of Habana.
Altogether 6,000 specimens were collected, representing about 1,600
numbers.

Dr. E. H. Walker, assistant curator of plants, was occupied for a
week in June in the Piedmont and the Blue Ridge Mountains of North
Carolina and South Carolina, making botanical collections. Under
Dr. Walker’s leadership local field work has been carried on by mem-
bers of the Conference on the District of Columbia Flora.

The Walter Rathbone Bacon Traveling Scholarship under the
Smithsonian Institution was awarded to Philip Hershkovitz, of the
University of Michigan, for faunal investigations on the distribution of
mammals in Colombia. After a period of preparation in the National
Museum, Mr. Hershkovitz left New York on November 8, 1941, for
Barranquilla, Colombia, where his arrangements for field work were
completed with the assistance of the Department of State, through the
Hon. Nelson R. Park, American Consul. Field work began near
Sabana Larga through the kind invitation of Mr. Crump and extended
through the adjacent areas of the Department of Atlantico. In Jan-
uary he established a base near Caracolicito where he had information
of an excellent area for such studies through a reconnaissance made
there last year by Dr. Wetmore in connection with work on birds.

10 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

Mr. Hershkovitz’s investigations extended from here to the southern
flank of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in the vicinity of Pueblo
Bello. In June he was collecting at El Salado between Pueblo Bello
and Valencia.

THE MUSEUM IN WARTIME

Entry of our country into war has brought change to all of us with-
out exception and has had full reaction on the operation of the Museum
laboratories, halls, and galleries under the Smithsonian Institution.
Restriction in travel by rationing of gasoline and the rubber short-
age, and the full occupation of people everywhere in the war effort,
have brought rapid curtailment in the normal tourist visitors to Wash-
ington from hundreds of thousands to a few hundreds at most. Under
this condition it is valuable to observe and record the considerable
attendance of visitors to our buildings, full indication of the fact
established in England in the early days of this war that public
museums and galleries play an important part in the life of our people
under the present stress. With long journeys out of the question
because of lack of time and facilities the mental recreation and relief
found in the exhibits maintained by the Smithsonian Institution have
greater importance than ever before for the multitude of workers and
residents in the crowded Washington area.

In this connection arrangement was made as.soon as practicable to
open our buildings on Sundays from 9 o’clock in the morning to 4:30
in the afternoon, shifting the weekly half day for which the public
halls are closed from Sunday morning to Monday morning. Sunday
attendances have ranged from 9,000 to 18,000 visitors, fully justifying
the change. It has been interesting to observe the large number of
service men among these, from the men who come to Washington on
week-end furloughs. The change in hours has been of assistance also
to those employed for long hours during the week in Washington
offices by giving them opportunity to visit our halls.

Soon after the United States entered the war, work was started to
safeguard employees and visitors to the Museum buildings against
possible air raids. Steps were taken also to protect the buildings and
their contents.

With the aid of engineers from the Public Buildings Administra-
tion areas were designated as air-raid shelters, and air-raid alarm
gongs were installed in all the buildings. Air-raid shelter directional
signs were posted in the exhibition halls as well as in the park south
of the Smithsonian Building. At the same time there was set up
the customary system of wardens and assistants, with duties assigned
to all, these being developed and perfected through periodic drills.
Boxes of sand and sand bags, with hand pumps arid water barrels,
were placed on all floors of the buildings, first-aid rooms were estab-

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 11

lished in the Natural History Building and the Engineering and
Industries Building, and blackout screens were installed in all build-
ings in those rooms where 24-hour service must be maintained.

Important among other important safety measures was the re-
moval of many tons of heavy storage racks containing geological
and paleontological specimens from the fourth floor to the ground and
second floors of the Natural History Building. Also, storage cases
and many specimens were taken from other sections of the fourth floor
to the second floor to an extent that allows free movement through-
out the upper floor of the building in case of fire from incendiary
bombs, the floor in question being directly under the roof; various
items of inflammable material were eliminated.

In the storage rooms for alcoholic specimens on the ground floor
lattice screens were placed around the shelves so as to prevent jars
containing specimens preserved in alcohol from being shaken from
the shelves by vibration. At the same time these screens were so
arranged as to allow access to the specimens when needed for study.

For the past year attention had been given to the designation of
categories of specimens that were to be evacuated in case of entry
into the war or should air raids come to Washington. The selected
materials include vast numbers of type specimens from the natural-
history and paleontological collections, selected sets of materials
from the anthropological and engineering and industries collections,
and important specimens found in our historical series. The work
of selecting and packing this material has occupied the staff for
months, and part still remains to be accomplished. In some of the
collections type series have been maintained separately for some time,
while in others types were kept with other material so that it was
necessary to segregate them, with many thousands of specimens
concerned; the amount of this work has been considerable.

Type specimens preserved in alcohol, which offer some difficulties
in handling, were evacuated together with selections of insects. Other
type material will go to a warehouse in another location.

To another place of safety there was removed a selection of rare
books from our libraries, manuscript materials, and important rec-
ords. Negatives on nitrate film also have been segregated and will
be removed to a place of safety.

All this has entailed a tremendous amount of extra labor on the
part of the staff, which has been given most freely and willingly.

VISITORS

Curtailment of travel because of the war had less effect than
anticipated upon the number of visitors at the various Museum build-
ings. The total recorded during the year was 2,042,817, against

12 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

2,505,817 for the previous year.

The largest attendance was during

August 1941, with 381,952 visitors, and the second largest was during
July 1941, with 329,927. Table 1 shows the number of visitors dur-

ing each month of the year.

LIBRARY

Most gratifying to the Museum Library is the contribution it has
been privileged to make to the war effort. Developed primarily as a
working library for the curators and others engaged in the study of
the physical characteristics, natural products, and peoples of all parts
of the world, and of their arts and industries, the Library contains
a large quantity of material of both direct and incidental interest to
the armed services and defense agencies, and much use has been made
of it. Perhaps more important still, and reversing the usual routine
of providing the curators with printed information on their special
subjects, the Library has been able materially to assist the repre-
sentatives of the several war agencies by referring them to the curators
who have contributed much valuable unpublished information.

The war has left few if any of the Library’s activities untouched.
As part of the Museum’s comprehensive plan for the protection of all
its cultural materials, the safeguarding of its collections against pos-
sible air raids had been given serious attention before the actual entry
of the United States into the war. Later, certain irreplaceable books

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 13

and manuscripts were selected and prepared for removal to a place of
greater safety.

With the cessation of shipments from enemy and occupied countries,
accessions of books, periodicals, and pamphlets from abroad dropped
sharply, but the flow of incoming material from allied and neutral
countries, while diminished in volume, has in most cases been gratify-
ingly regular. Domestic accessions by purchase and exchange were
much as usual.

A large and important gift of the year was the library on Copepoda
numbering some 2,000 items, collected by the late Dr. Charles Branch
Wilson and presented to the sectional library of marine invertebrates
by his son, Carroll A. Wilson. A card index for use with the collec-
tion accompanied it, and its cataloging for the main library records
has been begun. As in former years, members of the staff of the
Institution and other friends made generous contributions of books
and pamphlets.

The lack of subject cataloging of the older material in the Library
and the absence of any catalog entries for many of the serial publica-
tions have long been handicaps to the service of the Library in identi-
fying references and supplying promptly required publications or
information. With the decrease in the number of foreign accessions
needing attention, it has been possible for the catalogers to devote part
of their time to the systematic recataloging of some of the important
older sets. The publications of the early geological and geographical
surveys of the western territories, one of our most used, most compli-
cated, and least well cataloged series, were selected as a beginning,
and 339 of these volumes and pamphlets were reclassified and fully
cataloged by authors and subjects. As time and other duties permit,
this much-needed work will be continued.

In addition to the services given to the war agencies, the usual
reference work in the Library continued to be heavy. This is one
of the intangibles difficult to measure statistically, and no numerical
count of it is attempted. The use of books within the Library itself
is large, and services to readers in finding information, identifying
references, and verifying citations are many and varied. Questions |
are answered, too, by telephone, and considerable time is spent in
preparing data for reply to letters and in the making of short
bibliographies.

No inconsiderable part of the work of the loan desk is the arrang-
ing of interlibrary loans. Cooperation among the departmental
libraries of Washington in borrowing and lending publications
needed by their various clienteles is close, and research libraries
elsewhere in the country are cordial in interlibrary loan relationships.
Largely because of the calls from the war agencies, the number of

489878432

14 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

our loans to other libraries, 454 in all, showed an increase of 218 over
those of the preceding year.

Some small relief was given to the serious overcrowding in the
Natural History Building by the addition of 12 small cases placed
at the ends of alcoves in the stack-room. To make the best possible
use of every available foot of shelf-room, extensive shifting and re-
arrangement of certain classes of material is in progress, and some
of it will probably have to be transferred to the Arts and Industries
Building.

The summarized statistical record of the Library’s growth and ac-
tivities during the year is as follows:

Exclusive of incomplete volumes of periodicals and of uncataloged
reprints and separates, the Museum Library now numbers 223,287
volumes and pamphlets.

PUBLICATIONS AND PRINTING

For the publication requirements of the National Museum during
the fiscal year 1941-42, a total of $43,000 was allotted, an increase
of $12,750 over the previous year. Of this allotment, $5,000 was re-
served for binding, and $8,250 was used for the salary of the Museum
printer (assigned to the National Museum from the Government
Printing Office), leaving a balance of $34,750 for the printing of Mu-
seum Bulletins, the Proceedings, and the Annual Report. Forty-four
publications were issued—the Annual Report, 6 Bulletins, 1 Contri-
bution from the United States National Herbarium, and 36 Proceed-
ings papers. These are listed hereinafter. Volumes bound totaled
1,303.

The distribution of volumes and separates to libraries and indi-
viduals on the regular mailing lists aggregated 74,541 copies, while in
addition 8,004 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.

The Museum editor, Paul H. Oehser, continued during the year as
editor-in-chief of the Proceedings of the Eighth American Scientific
Congress, working in collaboration with the Division of International
Conferences of the Department of State. These Proceedings, as pro-
jected, will appear in 12 volumes; at the close of the year two had been
published, the others being in various stages of printing. The editor

|

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 15

served also as chairman of the Efficiency Rating Committee of the
Smithsonian Institution and devoted considerable time to the organi-
zation and completion of the efficiency-rating requirements of the year.

Indexing.—As time permitted, work was continued on the compre-
hensive index to Museum publications begun a few years ago. The
Bulletins and Proceedings are now indexed up to 1900, and a start
was made on the Reports. Considerable assistance was given in the
indexing work by Miss Gladys Visel, editorial clerk, and Mrs. Mar-
guerite W. Poole, information clerk. Indexes for Proceedings volume
90 and for Bulletin 179 (Bent) were also made in the editorial office.

Museum print shop—The Museum print shop, a branch of the
United States Government Printing Office, was operated by F. W.
Bright, who, as in former years, was detailed from the Printing Office
to print museum and herbarium labels and special forms. Much of
the work produced in the shop consists of a large amount of composi-
tion and short press runs, and this type of printing can be done here
more economically and promptly than at the Government Printing
Office. The 107 requisitions for labels and other printing that were
completed during the year bring the work of the shop nearly up to
date, with the exception of a number of requisitions covering exhibition
Jabels that involve much hand setting of type, and specimen labels
for the division of insects and the National Herbarium.

PHOTOGRAPHIC LABORATORY

The usual cooperative arrangement between the photographic lab-
oratory and the Bureau of American Ethnology, the National Collec-
tion of Fine Arts, and the National Museum has continued, although
the volume of work has been somewhat curtailed. The members of
the scientific staff have devoted so much of their time to packing im-
portant collections for transmittal to areas of safety that they have
made less than usual demands upon the laboratory for illustrative
material. The laboratory has made 2,342 negatives (including 4 photo-
micrographs), 11,272 prints, 361 lantern slides (including 36 koda-
chrome slides), 700 enlargements, and 10 transparencies. It has also
developed 25 rolls of film, 21 film packs, and 8 cut films, and mounted
98 prints. Notwithstanding the reduction in the volume of work,
laboratory space is becoming more and more crowded because of the
encroachment of negative files and increased equipment.

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT

Repairs and alterations.—The usual routine repairs to buildings and
installations were made during the year, but with the exception of the
elevators, work on which was started last year, alterations were con-

16 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

centrated on laboratory and storage rooms necessary for the efficient
operation of a large research establishment.

The two new passenger elevators in the rotunda of the Natural
History Building, which were nearly finished at the end of the pre-
vious year, were completed and put into service early in July. Pas-
senger traffic was handled by these elevators during the construction
of the two in the north pavilion, which were completed in December.
The fifth new elevator, located in the north stair-hall of the Smith-
sonian Building, was put into service in September, and work on the
sixth and last was started immediately after the completion of the
one in the north stair-hall. In January 1942 the passenger elevator
program was concluded.

Provision of additional laboratory space for the Division of Radia-
tion and Organisms necessitated the removal of the pipe shop from
the large room at the west end of the west basement of the Smithso-
nian Building, and the work of preparing this room for use as a labora-
tory was started. The large room in the basement of the Natural
History Building that had previously been used as a coal storage vault
was reconditioned, and in March the new pipe shop was completed
and the equipment was moved to the new quarters. S'pace was al-
lotted in the west basement of the Smithsonian Building for a small
emergency pipe shop to serve the buildings on the south side of the
park.

The space formerly occupied by the four boilers in the Natural
History Building was converted into two heating and lighting storage
rooms, a lumber storage room, and an awning shop. While these
rooms were not complete on June 30, they were capable of caring for
a limited amount of equipment.

When the grades of the old Smithsonian Park were lowered during
the construction of the new roads in the Mall, sections of the old
water main running from Independence Avenue to Constitution Ave-
nue were exposed, revealing a condition of corrosion and wear that
caused apprehension as to the safety of the equally old pipes under the
Arts and Industries Building, particularly as the four fire hydrants
located near the Natural History Building, the Smithsonian Building,
and the Arts and Industries Building are served by these pipes. In
1940 the District of Columbia Water Division was asked to submit an
estimate for installing valves south and north of the Arts and Indus-
tries Building and running new pipes from the south valve to the
valve outside the northeast pavilion, thus making it possible to abandon
the old pipe. The estimate furnished exceeded the amount of money
available at that time, but in 1942 a sufficient balance from the allot-
ment for Building Repairs was on hand to authorize the work. On
June 28 the water was drained from the old pipe and the two open

OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR 17

ends were sealed, and a menace was remoyed from the building and
collections.

A similar menace to the Smithsonian Building was removed when
the old, imperfect valve on the water main from Independence Avenue,
located under the floor of the Aircraft Building, was closed and a new
one was installed outside that building. The new valve will be much
more accessible than the old one in an emergency.

Alterations and repairs on the Aircraft Building, consisting prin-
cipally of repairing and repainting the roof, walls, and woodwork and
the construction of two storage rooms, begun last year, were com-
pleted, and the building was reopened to the public in November.

Heat, light, and power.—The electric current used during the year
amounted to 1,429,000 kilowatt-hours.

The Government’s Central Heating Plant furnished the steam for
heating the buildings, as for several years past. The amount of
steam used was 54,584,000 pounds, about 11,000,000 pounds less than
were used last year.

The four boilers mentioned in last year’s report as having been
disposed of through the Procurement Division were removed from
the Natural History Building by the contractor, as were also four
stokers, the removal being completed on September 16. On August 1
the work of removal] of a blower and a small boiler was concluded.

Ice production—The refrigerating machine for manufacturing ice
for the Museum buildings produced 276 tons of ice during the year,
at a cost of $2.01 a ton. On January 22 the ice machine at the Astro-
physical Observatory was discontinued and the ammonia was removed
as a Safety measure, in the event of air raids. At the end of the
fiscal year this machine was still inoperative.

Fire protection—All the soda-and-acid fire extinguishers were
periodically tested and inspected. The fire hose and standpipe hose
were inspected and necessary repairs made.

Furniture and fixtures —The furniture added during the year in-
cluded 5 exhibition cases; 685 pieces of storage, laboratory, and office
furniture; and 800 drawers. Equipment condemned and disposed
of included 44 exhibition cases and bases; 128 pieces of storage, lab-
oratory, office, and other furniture. An inventory of furniture on
hand on June 30, 1941, showed 3,583 exhibition cases; 20,132 pieces of
storage, laboratory, and office furniture; and 113,711 drawers, boxes,
and frames of various kinds.

MEETINGS AND SPECIAL EXHIBITS

The auditorium and lecture room of the Natural History Building
are made available regularly for meetings of educational, scientific,
and governmental organizations and groups, and whenever possible

18 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

the Museum assists in carrying out their programs. During the past
year 149 such meetings were held, including such events as the Eleventh
Arthur Lecture of the Smithsonian Institution, delivered on the eve-
ning of February 26, 1942, by Dr. John A. Fleming, of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, on the subject “The Sun and the Earth’s
Magnetic Field.”

In addition, the foyer and adjacent space of the Natural History
Building were used almost continuously during the year for a series
of 15 special exhibits shown under the auspices of various scientific
and educational groups, as follows:

August 1 to 31, 1941: Exhibition of Currier and Ives prints.

September 1 to 15, 1941: Exhibit entitled “Federal Housing in America,” by the
Federal Works Agency.

September 18 to 22, 1941: Ninth Annual Rose Show, sponsored by the Potomac

DETAILED REPORTS ON THE COLLECTIONS

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY

(FRANK M. SeTztek, Head Curator)

Activities within the department of anthropology for the year
can be divided into two equal parts. From July to December 1941,
the plans contemplated in the last annual report, such as the classifica-
tion of specimens, modernization of exhibition halls, and the rearrange-
ment of study collections, progressed on schedule. After December
7, 1941, this program was suspended, and the remaining half of the
fiscal year was devoted to the selection and packing of irreplaceable
anthropological specimens to be stored in a modern fireproof repository
at an inland locality. Valuable specimens were removed from the
fourth floor in order to protect them and at the same time enable our
air-raid defense organization better to control any fire that might be
caused by incendiary bombs. These emergency programs could not
have been accomplished without the wholehearted cooperation of the
entire staff. The segregation of these specimens has naturally disar-
ranged the order of some of our study collections. Even though many
Specimens were removed from exhibition and some sections of our
exhibition halls rearranged, new exhibits have been installed and
others rebuilt in such a manner that our halls were at no time closed
to the public.

The staff has also cooperated by volunteering to serve as members of
the Smithsonian air raid defense, all of which symbolizes their inten-
tion to preserve as far as is humanly possible the collections now under
their jurisdiction.

For the first half of the fiscal year correspondence requesting anthro-
pological information, as well as the number of visitors bringing
specimens to the department for identification, was comparable to the
same period in 1940. Since the beginning of 1942 these requests have
been supplemented by others from many branches of our armed
forces seeking data. Every effort is now being made to serve the
United Nations with the specialized knowledge at our disposal, both
through specimens and the experiences of our staff.

During the latter part of May and the first half of June, Frank M.
Setzler was detailed to the National Park Service to direct an archeo-
logical reconnaissance within the Dinosaur National Monument along
the Yampa and Green Rivers in northwestern Colorado and eastern
Utah. 2

22 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

After serving the Institution for a period of 88 years and 11 months,
Dr. Ales Hrdlicka retired as curator of the division of physical anthro-
pology on March 31, 1942. During this time, and largely due to his
personal effort, the division accumulated approximately 37,000 speci-
mens, a collection of human skeletal material that ranks among the
finest in the world and is especially outstanding in its series of Eskimo
and Aleut materials from Alaska. In recognition of his monumental
work Dr. Hrdli¢ka on April 1, 1942, was appointed associate in anthro-
pology, and he will continue to use his usual office, surrounded by
the many hundreds of scientific publications that he has assembled
and that he has now presented to the division of physical anthropology.

ACCESSIONS

New accessions received during the year totaled 91 (8,000 specimens,
a decrease of 1,064 as compared to the previous year). Several collec-
tions that had been accessioned in other years were classified and cata-
loged. The 91 new accessions were assigned to the following divisions
and sections within the department: Archeology, 15 (2,011 speci-
mens); ethnology, 42 (519 specimens); ceramics, 10 (175 speci-
mens) ; musical instruments, 3 (7 specimens) ; period art and textiles,
10 (277 specimens) ; physical anthropology, 11 (11 specimens).

Archeology.—The following collections received during the year and
assigned to the division of archeology are regarded as the most valu-
able; 68 Greek, Roman, and Egyptian specimens collected by Thomas
Welson Page (1853-1922) were presented by Mrs. Rosewell Page; 18
examples of ancient Persian pottery and armor, together with a Peru-
vian vessel, came as a gift from Joseph H. Himes; 707 artifacts ex-
eavated from shell and sand mounds in Hillsborough, Dade, and
Broward Counties, Fla., were transferred to the national collections by
the Work Projects Administration ; 220 stone, bone, pottery, and shell
specimens collected for the Museum by Dr. T. Dale Stewart from the
old Indian village site of Patawomeke, Stafford County, Va.; 179 arti-
facts from various sites in southern California transferred to the Mu-
seum by the Bureau of American Ethnology.

Hthnology—Numerous noteworthy specimens were received in this
division. Biankets woven with Bayeta yarn by the Navaho Indians
in Arizona, necklaces of worked silver, turquoise and shell beads made
by the Zufii and Navaho Indians, were bequeathed to the Smithsonian
Institution by Mrs. Mary Vaux Walcott and subsequently deposited in
the Museum. Mrs. William H. Bell presented a large collection con-
sisting of cotton molas (blouses) and woven bags collected among the
Tule Indians along the San Blas coast of Panama, various wearing
apparel from the Indians of Guatemala, and a palm fiber costume
with a deer head mask from the Chocd Indians of Darién. An inter-

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 23

esting collection of cutting and slashing weapons made by the Moro
of Mindanao, P. I., was presented to the national collections by Capt.
E. T. Hoopes. A carved, lidded, wooden food bowl decorated with
cut sections of 77ridacna clam shells, obtained many years ago from
the natives on the Island of Yap, was donated by Mrs. H. L. Pugh. A
painted robe of dressed buffalo hide from the Comanche Indians was
presented by Mrs. William Palmer. While a member of the Transit-
of-Venus Expedition in 1882, Col. T. L. Casey was presented a carved
wooden head-rest by a Zulu chief. This specimen was received as a
gift from Mrs. Laura Welsh Casey. An unusual collection of Swedish
wood carver’s art, made in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth
centuries, was presented by Mrs. William Duncan McKim. Cult ob-
jects from voodoo shrines in the region of Croix des Bouquets, near
Port-au-Prince, Haiti, selected by Dr. A. Métraux, were transferred to
the Museum from the Bureau of American Ethnology.

The following collections assigned to the section of ceramics are
worthy of note: In the bequest of Miss Katherine Noyes a glazed
Parian pitcher made about 1850 at the Bennington Pottery in Ver-
mont was given to the Museum. Miss Estelle J. Brereton presented
a Bilston snuffbox on which is inscribed a calendar for the year
1759. Mrs. William Duncan McKim gave an interesting collection of
eighteenth and nineteenth century European pottery, porcelain, and
glassware. Examples of lacy, clear flint glass made at the Sandwich
works in Massachusetts about 1840 came as a gift from Miss Margaret
Stottlemeyer.

Among the various accessions assigned to the section of musical
instruments the most noteworthy was a mandolin decorated with
inlay of tortoise shell, mother-of-pearl, ebony, and ivory, which was
handmade by Gene Trusiewicz in 1900, presented to the Museum
by Robert H. Miller.

The most outstanding gifts in the section of period art and textiles
were: 99 ancient Egyptian scarabs mounted as three necklaces and a
bangle and chain of filigree gold, received from Miss Annie-May
Hegeman, a donor of many rare objects to the collections; early
American silver spoons made by Conrad Bard, of New York, pre-
sented by Mrs. Laura Welsh Casey ; interesting examples of American
silver made by Samuel Kirk, of Baltimore, donated by Mrs. William
Duncan McKim; through a bequest by Mrs. Isabel H. Vickers, a
collection of three unusual Oriental rugs. <A large collection of
European antique period furniture, ivories, silver, embroideries,
tapestry, and art objects, formerly listed as a loan, was changed to
a gift by the daughters of Mrs. Alice P. Barney.

Physical anthropology.—TIwo of the 11 accessions received in the
division of physical anthropology are especially noteworthy: A male

Tlingit skeleton presented by Axel Rasmussen; and a skull and lower
jaw from the W. W. Poland mound near Shedd, Oreg., received from
Willamette University Museum.

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

During October 1941 the division of ethnology participated with
other divisions in the Museum in forming and installing an exhibition
of early American arts and crafts, dating from 1750 to 1850, in the
foyer of the Natural History Building. Most of the articles ex-
hibited were selected from the study collections of the department
of engineering and industries, division of history, division of ethnol-
ogy, and the National Collection of Fine Arts.

From July to December all the divisions within the department
devoted considerable time to the rearrangement and preservation of
the vast study collections. The various metal storage cases contain-
ing perishable specimens were vacuum cleaned and poisoned to pre-
vent any infestation by destructive beetles. The storage cases in
ethnology attic were rearranged in order to conserve as much space
as possible for our ever growing collections. A master chart was
then prepared to facilitate the use of this large collection of study
material. The cases in the third-floor corridors and offices were also
rearranged. All cases were then renumbered and the specimens
grouped, where possible, according to tribes and geographical
locations.

Miniature scale models were prepared under the supervision of the
staff to assist in the building of a new type of exhibition which had
been approved for installation in hall 11. Except for the constant
care required of our limited staff to preserve our fragile and perish-
able specimens, all the above work ceased after December 7 in order to
safeguard the collections from the potential danger of aerial warfare.

Asa result of the emergency program, which became effective after
December 1941, many of the cases on the fourth floor containing the
study collections were removed to the third floor, where they can be
given better protection from incendiary bombs and where they lessen
our fire hazard. Thousands of irreplaceable anthropological speci-
mens were packed and stored awaiting shipment outside of Wash-
ington. Such an emergency program necessarily disrupted the nor-
mal routine and required many adjustments in connection with ex-
hibition floors. After the specimens were selected from the exhibition
cases and the exhibition floors rearranged to accommodate storage units
from the fourth floor, new exhibits were installed. All these changes
were accomplished without closing the exhibition halls for a single day
to the visiting public.

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 25

During this same period, from January to June 1942, the staff was
trained to participate in the Smithsonian air-raid defense organiza-
tion in order to protect the collections during an emergency.

Archeology.—Reduction in the exhibition space devoted to Ameri-
can archeology as well as the removal of specimens from exhibition
required the installation of 7 partially new and 22 completely new
exhibits.

The crowded condition in the offices and the laboratories prevents
the division from effectively preparing the large accumulation of
archeological specimens assigned to it. Lack of table space now neces-
sitates numerous makeshifts in order properly to revise the exhibits
and the State collections. Nevertheless, all the C. W. A.-Smithsonian
Institution archeological collections have been classified and cata-
loged. Moth and beetle repellents have been periodically added to
those cases containing artifacts subject to injury by such insects. All
relatively small accessions received during the year were cleaned,
classified, and cataloged. The material selected for evacuation was
packed in 50 boxes and 8 quarter-unit storage cases.

Ethnology.—The plan for building modern ethnological groups in
hall 11 has been deferred. Considerable research, however, was
carried on for these groups from July to December 1941. The
rearrangement of storage units and renumbering the cases on the third
and fourth floors were completed before December. Even though
more than one-half of these cases were transferred to the second floor,
they can be returned to their proper places without much trouble.
H. W. Krieger, curator of ethnology, played an important part in pre-
paring the exhibition of American arts and crafts on display in the
foyer during October.

The synoptic exhibits in ethnology were revised to show the handi-
crafts, weapons, and implements of American Indian tribes. New
material placed on exhibition includes European and Asiatic musical
instruments donated by Miss Mary E. Maxwell, examples of Negro
wood carvings from West Africa, Navaho weavings, North Amer-
ican Indian games, ethnology of the people of India, and three wall-
case displays showing examples of early Swedish wood carving, early
American silver, and Josiah Wedgwood cameos.

In all, 3,481 irreplaceable specimens from this division were segre-
gated and packed in 15 quarter-unit cases and 39 boxes. All current
accessions and those from previous years have been classified and
cataloged.

Physical anthropology.—Because of several personnel changes
within the division of physical anthropology, no revisions were made
in the exhibitions. ‘The large collection of brains preserved in alco-

26 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

holic solutions was removed from the third floor because they con-
stituted an extreme fire hazard. Two large collections remained
uncataloged at the end of the fiscal year.

The system of catalog cards is now being revised. Instead of a
tribal and geographical arrangement, the cards are being retyped
and arranged in numerical order, with a new tribal and geographical
index. ‘This arrangement is comparable to the systems used in the
other divisions of the department. At the close of the fiscal year the
most valuable series of skulls and long bones were being packed for
evacuation.

Anthropological laboratory.—Andreas J. Andrews, chief prepara-
tor, modeled a number of busts of Teton Sioux Indians, restored sev-
eral lamps and bowls, and assisted in the restoration of seven skulls
and four skeletons for the division of physical anthropology. Seven-
teen prehistoric Indian pottery jars were restored; casts were made
and painted of bannerstones, Grave Creek tablet, and wooden tablet
from Easter Island; restorations and repairs were made on copper
objects from Mexico, the model of Stonehenge, and other models for
the division of archeology. Seventy-eight pieces of silver, copper,
and brass were cleaned and polished; several wooden statues were
treated and restored, slate carvings and stone pipes were restored,
and 28 pieces of Indian pottery vessels were restored for the division
of ethnology.

A figure for the period costume exhibit was modeled and partially
cast for the division of history, and several sculptures were repaired
for the National Collection of Fine Arts. All the molds in the lab-
oratory were carefully checked and rearranged, and the card records
were retyped to provide a more efficient record for locating the molds
when necessary.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

In addition to completing several manuscripts for publication, con-
siderable research was required of the staff in the department of anthro-
pology in answering requests of correspondents and in identifying
specimens submitted to the Museum by visitors, Government agencies,
and other museums. Our program for modernizing exhibits required
some detailed investigations.

In September the head curator attended a conference at Lexington,
Ky., dealing with various phases of archeological research in the Mis-
sissippi Valley. Asa member of the Advisory Board of the National
Park Service he investigated the historical-archeological field work in
and around Plymouth, Mass., and inspected the museum specimens and
various houses that had been built and occupied by the Pilgrims within
the area. He attended the two meetings of the Advisory Board held
in Washington. As retiring president of the Anthropological Society

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY DAU

of Washington he prepared a paper reviewing archeological accom-
plishments in the United States during the past 12 years. He continued
as a consultant for the Federal Work Projects Administration on
archeological projects sponsored by this agency throughout the
country. On April 3, 1942, he was appointed group warden of the
Smithsonian air-raid defense.

During the year the department received 1,218 requests for infor-
mation on subjects pertaining to its field. Some of them involved
identification of specimens, while others required considerable research
to supply the specific information desired. In addition to specimens
in archeology and ethnology, many correspondents asked for data
on such subjects as old china, silver, and musical instruments.

Archeology.—The curator of archeology, Neil M. Judd, continued
his study of the material culture of ancient Pueblo Bonito, N. Mex.,
and reexamined the Greek, Roman, and Egyptian collections in connec-
tion with the preparation of new exhibits and revised labels. Associate
Curator Waldo R. Wedel completed two manuscripts: “Archeological
Investigations in Platte and Clay Counties, Missouri” and “Archeo-
logical Remains in Central Kansas and Their Possible Bearing on the
Location of Quivira”; and made progress with other researches in
Missouri Valley archeology.

Walter W. Taylor, Jr., on September 29, 1941, began study of the
cave material that he collected for the Museum in Coahuila, Mexico.

Bird bones from Buena Vista shell heaps, California, sent for iden-
tification to Dr. Alden H. Miller, University of California, Berkeley,
were reported on by Miss Ida DeMay.

During the fiscal year 33 lots of archeological material were received
through the mail for examination and report and subsequently re-
turned to the senders.

Ethnology.—The curator of ethnology, H. W. Krieger, as time per-
mitted, continued analysis of the Antillean and Northwest Pacific
Coast field collections made by him in previous years. He also worked
on the preparation of a paper on peoples of the Philippines, to be pub-
lished by the Smithsonian Institution in its War Background Studies.
The associate curator, Dr. J. E. Weckler, Jr., conducted preliminary
research on problems of South American ethnology and geography in
pursuance of plans for the modernization of the displays of South
American ethnology. Dr. Weckler is likewise engaged in the prepara-
tion of a paper on Polynesians: The Explorers of the Pacific. He is
also completing a monographic study on ritual status in Polynesia.

Assistance by the division in the research work of outside in-
dividuals and institutions covered various phases of ethnology,
ceramics, musical instruments, period art and textiles, and heating
and lighting, as well as questions pertaining to the Bible and com-

28 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

parative religions. At the request of the director of the Charleston
Museum the National Museum’s entire collection of silver ornaments
worn by Indians of the Eastern States was examined in a search
for hallmarks. All the Crow Indian shields in the National Museum
were examined at the request of the Milwaukee Public Museum and
photographs furnished together with detailed descriptions and color
notes.

Routine services extended to other governmental departments were
concerned with the identification and appraisal of specimens prima-
rily for the Post Office, Customs, National Park Service, and Agri-
culture and Justice Departments. Dissemination of information to
the Army, Navy, and other war agencies played a minor but definite
part in the division’s activities. A good example of the use of ethno-
graphic collections is illustrated in the War Production Board’s re-
quest for examples of an umbrella with frame and staves of bamboo
in order to conserve the high-grade steel ordinarily used in the manu-
facture of parasols and umbrellas. Numerous examples of the sub-
stitute use of bamboo were located in the collections. Native
examples of the use of Castella and Hevea rubber brought from the
upper Amazon by Lieutenants Herndon and Gibbon in 1851 were also
studied for another project. Employees from the Quartermaster
Corps of the Army spent two days examining the collections of
tailored skin garments worn by the Eskimo of Alaska, Canada, and
Greenland. Research involving considerable time was made in an-
swer to questions advanced by the staff of the National Geographic
Society relative to strategic areas and peoples. Since December 1941
the associate curator has supplied information to various war agencies
and the Smithsonian War Committee.

Forty-nine written reports were made pertaining to the examina-
tion and identification of individual specimens and collections, total-
ing 97 specimens. This total included 38 ethnological objects, mostly
American Indian and Asiatic, but some Polynesian; 29 European,
American, and Asiatic ceramic objects; 28 items under period art and
textiles, mostly silver utensils and objects of personal adornment;
and two examples of musical instruments.

Physical anthropology.—Dr. Ale’ Hrdlitka made additional studies
on fetal, juvenile, and adult Alaskan skeletal material. He also
measured a large series of adult white American skulls at Western
Reserve Medical School. His remaining time was devoted chiefly to
archeological and anthropological matters pertaining to the Aleutian
Islands. At the close of the year Dr. Hrdlicka was busily engaged on
a revision of his “Races of Russia” for the War Background Studies
of the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. T. Dale Stewart prepared for
publication the data obtained on skeletal material during his visit to

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 29

Pert early in 1941, as well as a paper on the nomenclature of the head
height indices. He also studied variations in anthropometric
techniques.

Information has been given repeatedly to the War and Navy intel-
ligence services, to the Coordinator of Information, and to other
Government agencies. The following identifications have been made
in suspected criminal cases: For the Federal Bureau of Investi-
gation, identification at different times of six lots of bones; for the
Bureau of Criminal Investigation, New York State Police, identifica-
tion of a skeleton; for the Delaware State Police, identification of a
skull; for United States Consul Derry of Perth, Australia, identifica-
tion of bones.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

The division of archeology distributed 135 specimens and casts of
specimens as gifts to 13 museums, and one specimen from Turks Island
was sent out in exchange. The division of ethnology sent as gifts to
other museums, schools, and other research agencies 259 specimens and
127 photographs of ethnological objects, 8 specimens were exchanged,
318 were withdrawn from loan collections by the owners, 160 specimens
were lent to other institutions and Government agencies for exhibition
purposes and subsequently returned, while 41 specimens were trans-
ferred to the division of archeology and three to another Government
agency. The division of physical anthropology lent three lower jaws
for X-ray studies.

NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DEPARTMENT

On June 30, 1942, the department of anthropology is credited with
a total of 708,636 specimens, representing a net increase of 2,224. This
does not include a large number of specimens received during the year
but not yet cataloged.

The following summary indicates the number of specimens assigned
to the various divisions and sections within the department :

Tue decrease in number from previous years both of accessions and
of individual biological specimens was considerably less than might
have been expected in view of the aggravated condition of world af-
fairs, and the scientific value of the additions to the collections was
fully maintained.

Field work has been curtailed. Dr. Remington Kellogg, assisted by
W. M. Perrygo, during the spring of 1942 was engaged in exploring
Rampart Cave in Mohave County, Ariz., and in addition to the collec-
tions of bones and other animal remains from the cave brought back
to the Museum mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes, insects, and plants
illustrating the biota of the adjacent region. M. A. Carriker, Jr.,
continued work in the field in northeastern Colombia. Dr. L. P.
Schultz, in connection with the Department of State’s program of
cultural relations with South American Republics, spent about four
months in Venezuela, studying the ichthyological fauna of the Mara-
caibo Basin, and made a large and important collection of the fishes.
Dr, E. A. Chapin under the same auspices spent nearly two months in
Colombia, where he worked in collaboration with entomologists of
the Colombian Government service. His opportunity for field work
was limited, but he made a collection of coccinellid beetles and ar-
ranged for reciprocal exchanges. Botanical field work under this
same program was conducted in Cuba by C. V. Morton. Dr. E. H.
Walker collected plants in North Carolina and South Carolina.
Studies of the local biota of the adjacent regions of Maryland and
Virginia by the ‘members of the curatorial staff were pursued as
opportunity offered. Austin H. Clark continued his survey of the
butterflies of Virginia, paying special attention to the northern part
of the Shenandoah Valley. Considerable collecting was done at nearby
points by various specialists of the entomological taxonomic staff of
the Department of Agriculture; in addition, H. G. Barber collected
approximately 700 Hemiptera while on vacation in the Adirondacks,
and L. L. Buchanan more than 1,000 weevils as the result of an official
trip to the Gulf States.

The prime effort of the workers of the biological department dur-
ing the year was dedicated to the problem of safeguarding its price-
less scientific material, particularly the irreplaceable type specimens of
animals and plants, against possible destruction by airplane raids,

In those divisions where special type collections had not already
been established, the segregation of the types from the general sys-
tematic collection was vigorously prosecuted. Through the intelli-
gent and unremitting work of all staff members this enormous task
has successfully gone forward.

As a special feature of the year’s activities may be mentioned as-
sistance rendered by members of the staff to various requests for in-
formation in connection with national defense problems. The de-
partment lost several of its most valued members of the staff by
death: J. H. Riley, associate curator of birds, on December 17, 1941;
Dr. Hugh M. Smith, associate curator in zoology, September 28, 1941;
Dr. C. Hart Merriam, associate in zoology, March 19, 1942; Dr. C. B.
Wilson, collaborator in copepod crustaceans, August 18, 1941; Dr.
Casey A. Wood, collaborator in birds, January 26, 1942; and Dr.
William Schaus, honorary assistant curator of insects, June 20, 1942.

ACCESSIONS

Accessions for the year aggregated 940 with a total of 245,200
specimens. Some of the more noteworthy accessions are listed under
the various divisions as follows:

Mammals.—Thirty specimens of Antarctic seals (12 skins with
skulls, 2 skeletons, and 16 fetuses) representing four genera and in-
cluding three skins and two skeletons of the rare Ross’s seal, col-
lected during the United States Antarctic Service Expedition, were
recelved as a transfer from the Department of the Interior. Other
valuable accessions were 151 mammals from Mohave County, Ariz.,
collected by Dr. Remington Kellogg and W. M. Perrygo, and 54
Manchurian mammals, representing forms new to the Museum and
one new to science, were obtained by purchase. Robert R. Holder
donated a Tibetan fox skin (Cynalopex corsac) from the Province
of Yunnan, China, a genus hitherto unrepresented in the Museum.
The National Speleological Society presented 35 bats collected in
nearby caves. The skeleton and cape of an Afrikander bull were
presented by Robert J. Kleberg, Jr.

Birds —The most important and valuable avian accessions include
1,845 skins, 7 skeletons, and 2 sets of eggs collected in Colombia by
Dr. A. Wetmore and M. A. Carriker, Jr.; 272 bird skins from Veracruz,
Mexico, donated by A. E. Colburn; 14 skins of Venezuelan birds, in-
cluding 5 new to the collection, presented by W. H. Phelps; a speci-
men of the chestnut-breasted babbler from Chile, also new to the Mu-
seum, received as a gift from Dr. R. A. Philippi; and two skins
from Manchuria obtained by purchase. From the Rockefeller Foun-
dation came 447 birds from Brazil, collected by E. G. Holt. Orie O.
Miller donated 23 birds from Paraguay, and the Colorado Museum of

32 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

Natural History, through A. M. Bailey, presented four ptarmigans in
plumages new to the collection. The Fish and Wildlife Service trans-
ferred 53 birds from various parts of the world, 15 skins of Alaskan
ptarmigan, and three sets of eggs of rare North American waterfowl.
Other materials include 90 skeletons, 19 alcoholics, and 24 skins from
the National Zoological Park; 63 bird skeletons collected in Arizona
by Dr. Remington Kellogg and W. M. Perrygo; 9 bird skins from
Manchuria from Lt. Col. L. R. Wolfe; four bird skins from Ecuador,
including a genus, Hapaloptila, new to the Museum, obtained by
purchase.

Reptiles and amphibians.—The lots of new material received during
the year in this division consisted of comparatively few specimens
each. M. B. Mittleman deposited the holotype of a new subspecies
of salamander recently described by him.

Fishes.—One outstanding ichthyological accession was the transfer
by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service of 14,219 specimens
from the area between Peru and Alaska. President Franklin D.
Roosevelt presented a fine specimen of Macrozoarces americanus,
mother-of-eels, caught off Nova Scotia, August 9, 1941. E. F.
Ricketts donated 107 specimens, including types of Hypsoblenniops
ricketts?, from the Gulf of California. All the following accessions,
obtained in exchange, contain valuable type material: From the
Museum of Comparative Zoology, 166 specimens from Liberia and
Cameroons, including holotypes and paratypes of new species; from
the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology, 72 fishes, 29 of which
are paratypes from Brazil, Yucatan, and Venezuela; Stanford Uni-
versity Natural History Museum, five specimens, of which one is a
cotype of Hlanura forficata from Bering Sea, one a paratype of
Sebastodes owstoni, and one of Nectarges nepenthe; Academy of
Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, one paratype of Machaerenchelys
vanderbilti from Takaroa, South Pacific; Field Museum of Natural
History, one paratype of Spinoblennius spiniger from the Galapagos.

Insects.—The collection of Hemiptera built up by Waldo L.
McAtee, of the Fish and Wildlife Service, consisting of approxi-
mately 25,000 specimens and containing much type material, was
presented by him to the Museum. Mr. McAtee also presented many
volumes and papers from his private library to our library, including
several very rare books, notably a copy of Panzer’s “Faunae In-
sectorum Germaniae Initia” that is probably unique, as it appears to
have been made up from page proof, the sheets being printed on
one side only and mounted on larger, better paper for binding. The
collection of the late George P. Engelhardt and his entomological
books have also come to the division in addition to over 5,000 speci-
mens of Lepidoptera presented by him during his life. The material

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 33

collected by the curator, Dr. Chapin, in Jamaica was accessioned
during this year and amounted to about 7,600 specimens, mostly
termites. About 2,000 specimens, largely beetles, have been acces-
sioned from Colombia, including 1,200 collected by Dr. Chapin and
S00 specimens from the Colombian Government. At the death of
Alonzo C. Davis, the Museum received as a gift from Mrs. Davis
about 1,600 specimens, mostly of the scarabaeid genus Pleocoma and
Coccinellidae. A gift of approximately 1,600 specimens of Carabidae
was received from E. D. Quirsfeld. A total of approximately 52,000
insect specimens were added to the Museum collections from material
received through the United States Bureau of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine, in connection with its activities. They include a large
volume of miscellaneous insect material representing virtually all
orders received from the Bureau’s division of foreign plant quaran-
tine. These are in addition to insects collected personally by mem-
bers of the staff and to special accessions received in the division
and separately reported to the curator of the division of insects of the
Museum. Among the more important accessions from material
submitted for identification are insects of almost all orders sent in by
H. L. Parker and P. A. Berry from South America, and by James
Zetek from Panama, large collections forwarded by C. H. Ballou
from Venezuela, more limited but valuable material from the Lesser
Antilles received from R. G. Fennah, and important series, especially
in Thysanoptera, Coleoptera, and Hymenoptera, from Donald Spiller,
of New Zealand.

Marine invertebrates.—The leading accessions for the year in this
division are 21 in number, of which 17 include specimens new to our
collections or type and other material published upon or for which
completed manuscripts are now awaiting publication. The following
are important items: Rendell Rhoades, four crayfish, representing
types and allotypes of new species and subspecies from caves in Ala-
bama; Steve A. Glassell, a collection of Crustacea, including the type
of a new stomatopod and types, allotypes, and paratypes of two new

38 lots of cotypes of helminths; Dr. Maire Weir Kay, three types of
helminths, including a new genotype; Dr. Harold W. Manter, 5 slides
of type material of trematodes; Prof. John D. Mizeile, 18 slides of type
material of helminths; Prof. Leo H. Petri, two type specimens of hel-
minths; Prof. C. Courson Zeliff, two slides of trematodes, Cyclocoe-
lum dumetellae, type and paratype.

Corals.—Six lots of corals have been accessioned, aggregating about
447 specimens, as follows: Dr. Hilary B. Moore, four corals from
Bermuda; Furman Lloyd Mulford, three corals; Mrs. Elinor D. Rob-
son, Canal Zone, 54 specimens; Dr. William Randolph Taylor, five
specimens from Haiti; Mrs. R. W. Thompson, about 380 corals from
Tutuila, Samoa; Woodbridge Williams, one coral (Dendrophyllia old-
roydi Faustino).

Echinoderms.—The most interesting accession was a collection from
Peru made by Milton J. Lobell and transmitted by the Fish and Wild-
life Service, which included two holothurians (Pentamera zacae and
Thyonacta mexicana) both described during the past year. Another
collection from Peru made by H. C. and D. L. Frizzell included the first
specimen of the brittle-star Ophiocoma aethiops known from that
country. A collection from the coast of Texas presented by Harry S.
Ladd included 48 specimens of Astropeciten articulatus valencienni and
94 of Melliia lata, two little-known species.

Plants—Among the more important accessions are 2,169 specimens
received from the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Bogota, Colombia,
in continuation of exchanges. ‘This excellent material was mainly
collected by Dr. José Cuatrecasas and is to be reported upon in con-
nection with the joint enterprise between the two institutions looking
to the preparation of a descriptive flora of Colombia. Other collec-
tions to be specially noted are as follows: 6,006 specimens from
Cuba, collected by C. V. Mortcn in the course of field work covering
about two months; 2,256 specimens, mainly from the United States
and tropical America, received from the Gray Herbarium of Harvard
University in exchange; 2,090 specimens received in exchange from

36 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

the Field Museum of Natural History, including more than 700
Guatemalan ferns for identification and report; 833 specimens re-
ceived from the University of California in exchange, about half of
this material consisting of flowering plants from the western United
States, the remainder of algae and of South American flowering
plants; about 6,000 specimens from Virginia and West Virginia,
presented by H. A. Allard; 1,143 Oklahoma specimens, presented
by Phillips University in connection with a State survey; 693 speci-
mens, mostly from Mexico received from Stanford University in

Zone; 800 specimens from the western United States, obtained by
purchase; 270 South American specimens, received in exchange from
Boris A. Krukoff; 250 specimens from Mexico, presented by H. B.
Hinton; 234 grasses received from the University of Queensland as
an exchange; 256 miscellaneous specimens received from the Uni-
versity of Michigan in exchange; 242 miscellaneous specimens re-
ceived from the Missouri Botanical Garden in exchange; 207 speci-
mens from Haiti presented by L. R. Holdridge; 711 specimens,
mainly from Shenandoah National Park, presented by Dr. E. H.
Walker.

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

Almost all the work of the department under this heading was
dictated by the necessity of safeguarding the collections during pres-
ent war conditions. Efforts naturally were concentrated on the safety
of the absolutely priceless parts of the collections, viz, the tens of
thousands of type specimens of animal and plant species, which no
money and no work can replace if once they are destroyed. Type
specimens are the foundation of the entire scientific nomenclature,
and their destruction would be a scientific calamity of the first order.
Our type collections embrace not only the originals of all the species
described by the biologists of the Smithsonian Institution and the
National Museum, but many zoologists and botanists from the whole
country and even abroad have deposited their type material for safe-
keeping in the National Museum as the most likely place to insure
its permanent preservation and accessibility to future generations of
scientific investigators. The responsibility thus placed on the na-

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY _ 37

tional institution has led to special care for such material by the
curatorial staff.

Under the present war emergency arrangements have been made
for special storage of this type material and some other unique speci-
mens in places where there is little or no probability of damage in
case of enemy raids. The methods for handling these specimens for
evacuation have necessarily varied according to the kind involved.
Practically all the biological material has to be so handled that it
may be accessible for service to prevent deterioration and damage,
such service including periodic inspection, renewal of fluid in speci-
mens preserved in alcohol, and fumigation against insect pests in
other instances. The whole problem is one considerably complicated
by the delicacy of many of the specimens.

In several divisions, such as mammals, birds, and reptiles and
amphibians, type material for years has been segregated in special
collections for its better care. Similar segregation has been planned
throughout the department, but because of the magnitude of the work
involved it had not been completed until the present emergency. In
this regard it must be noted that our collections are more than 90
years old, and that in the early days the full importance of types as
such was not wholly appreciated. In many cases, therefore, among
our old materials many types have not yet been identified. Such ac-
tivities have occupied the major part of the time of the staff since
December 1941, and the bulk of this work is now completed, or at least
well advanced.

Other measures for safeguarding certain collections against the
dangers connected with air raids have been adopted in the department
of biology, one of the most important of these being concerned with
the spirit collections. These are housed in special rooms on the ground
floor where the thousands of jars containing the specimens stand on
steel shelves. For several years studies have been in progress for a
method of better protection of this material against the remote possi-
bility of jar that might be produced by earthquakes. The imminent
possibility of vibration from bombing brought these studies to com-
pletion, and the measures have been put immediately into effect.
Frames have been built across the stands of shelving in such a way as
to prevent the specimen containers from falling off the shelves, while
at the same time the protective racks can be removed readily to allow
access to the material. This work has covered the extensive rooms
devoted to reptiles and amphibians, marine invertebrates, fishes, birds,
and mammals,

These emergency measures naturally consumed much time and
energy. Nevertheless considerable progress was made in the improve-
ment of the installation and preservation of the collections.

38 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

The new dioramic groups of moose and caribou were completed and
opened to the public, and received general approbation both on ac-
count of the fine specimens and for their artistic presentation. The
work on three more groups of the same character progressed satisfac-
torily toward completion. The paintings for the landscape back-
ground of both the Rocky Mountain goat and sheep groups were made
by Arthur A. Jansson with the supervision and advice of the chief
taxidermist, that of the goat group displaying a scene in Yoho National
Park, British Columbia, featuring the President Range of mountains
in the distance, and that of the sheep group representing a scene 20
miles east of Banff on the road to Calgary, Alberta. Much time was
spent experimenting with the hghting of both cases. Work on a pro-
posed Antarctic group consisted chiefly in preparing the birds intended
for it, besides making a miniature model of the group under construc-
tion. Only slight changes and additions were undertaken in the rest
of the exhibition series except for the condensation of the certain spe-
cial exhibits on variation in the northeast corner hall of the second
floor in order to make room for the osteological study collections, which
had to be removed from the fourth floor storage. A whistling swan
was added to the District of Columbia exhibit, on the ground floor.

In the division of mammals all the skulls and antlers stored on top
of the cases on the fourth floor with numerous boxes of miscellaneous
bones were placed in a new location on the second floor on racks built
for the purpose. Because of the impracticability of arranging this
material systematically, lists have been made of it for reference, mak-
ing it possible to consult it without too much difficulty. Owing to the
necessity of providing a safer location within the building for the
alcoholic collection of brains belonging to the division of physical
anthropology, this was removed to the gallery of room 57, causing some
confusion in the arrangement of the mammal collection stored there,
which will require considerable time and labor to readjust later on.
The condition of the skin collection is satisfactory as no spreading,
except in a few groups, will be necessary for some time to come. The
difficulty of storing incoming skulls because of crowding has been some-
what relieved for the time being because of the new cases received this
year. In the alcoholic collection the routine of preservation was
continued.

The men directed by the chief taxidermist remade 68 skins into study
specimens, skinned and made up 46 specimens, skinned and salted
80 specimens, in addition to skinning a giraffe. They also cleaned 31
skeletons and 221 skulls, roughed out 18 skeletons and removed 13 from
alcoholics, besides doing minor cleaning and repair work. A sun-bear
skeleton was mounted and placed on exhibition, and a rhinoceros skel-
eton was mounted and placed on exhibition, and a rhinoceros skeleton

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 39

was dismounted; a whale skull was cleaned, partly repaired, and cel-
luloided. Contract work on cleaning 394 small and medium-sized
skulls and 53 skeletons was done under the curator’s observation.

In the divison of birds the rearrangement of the study series of
bird skins was continued. The following families were gone over in
part or whole: Bubonidae, Coraciidae, Cuculidae, Meleagrididae, Mo-
tacillidae, Psittacidae, Pycnonotidae, Sylviidae, Tetraonidae, Tima-
hhidae, Tyrannidae, and Tytonidae. In all, between 25,000 and 30,000
specimens were reidentified. This probably is the largest number ever
done in one year and comprises the combined efforts of the members
of the division staff, together with Dr, Wetmore, Dr. Aldrich, and O. J.
Murie. The checking of the card catalog of the alcoholic collection
with the specimens was completed, correcting many old errors and
omissions, and the index catalog is now up-to-date. In the taxidermist
laboratory 95 birds received in the flesh were skinned and prepared, 26
were skinned, 30 were cleaned and made up, two emperor-penguin
skins were degreased, 518 skeletons were cleaned, and 121 were roughed
out.

In the division of reptiles and amphibians in addition to other rou-
tine work 2,699 specimens were cataloged and installed in the stacks,
which are now crowded nearly to capacity. A number of turtle skins
and skulls were prepared.

In the division of fishes the regular curatorial and custodial routine
progressed satisfactorily, particular mention being made of the
checking and installation of the large collections returned from Stan-
ford University. The skeleton collection of fishes was reinstalled in
12 new quarter-unit cases. The condition of the study collection is
now very good.

In the division of insects rearrangement of the Coccinellidae con-
tinued, especially in the species of the Neotropical region, in order
that work on the species from Colombia can be undertaken. In con-
nection with the study of this family Mrs. R. F. Mislove prepared
several hundred dissections of both male and female specimens, the
dissections of the females being mounted in balsam on slides. Except
for the unlabeled material, most of the recent accessions were pre-
pared and incorporated in the collection. Essential care was given
all study collections, and throughout the various insect groups there
were improvements through reorganization of material, mostly dic-
tated by the service activities of the division. This particular phase
of the work is carried on by members of the staff of the Bureau of
Entomology and Plant Quarantine, except those groups that come
under the particular supervision of the curator and associate curator.
The shde collections have been expanding very rapidly, and in some
cases the available slide storage equipment is crowded far beyond

40 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

normal and proper capacity, particularly in the collections of Acarina
and ectoparasites. Since December 1941, a large part of the special-
ists’ time not required for identification work has been devoted to
type segregation. Necessarily this needs to be done intermittently,
and it is not yet completed. The work was completed for the
Orthoptera and neuropteroid families, the Acarina and ectoparasites,
the Heteroptera, Thysanoptera, Aleyrodidae, Aphiidae, most of the
Coleoptera, and all the Hymenoptera except for about one-fourth
of the Chalcidoidea.

The following statements summarize the progress made with the
study collections and the present status of those collections, under the
supervision of specialists on the staff of the Bureau of Entomology
and Plant Quarantine. In Orthoptera and in the neuropteroid groups
attention was given to the Psocidae, and the Museum collection was
largely reviewed and to some extent reorganized, in order to make it
more useful for reference in connection with identification needs.
Minor improvements were made also in the collections of Orthoptera,
where considerable new material from Neotropical areas has been incor-
porated, and in the Trichoptera. Dr. A. B. Gurney succeeded in seg-
regating all the types before he was called into the Sanitary Corps
early in the spring. In those Coleoptera collections for which special-
ists of the Bureau are responsible, improvements consisted principally
of rearrangements of minor groups as required in connection with
identification work. Dr. M. W. Blackman, however, reorganized
rather thoroughly the Neotropical collections in certain subdivisions
of Scolytidae, particularly in the subfamily Micracinae and the tribe
Pityophthorini of the subfamily Ipinae; W. S. Fisher rearranged the
Monochamini and the Endomychidae following the return of collec-
tions on loan to specialists. What probably represents the most con-
spicuous improvement in the status of collections making up any one
assignment in the division is that effected by Dr. J. M. Valentine in
the collections in his charge. Since the principal group in his assign-
ments, from the Bureau’s standpoint, is the Elateridae, that family re-
ceived special attention and is now in such condition that the various
subdivisions can be taken up independently for critical revision. More
or less similar work was done with the Cicindelidae, Carabidae, Mordel-
lidae, and Oedemeridae, especially in the Neotropical series in those
groups. A great deal of new material was sorted and properly incor-
porated, including the Schaeffer types of Elateridae, a good deal of
material in the Elateridae, Cebrionidae, and Plastoceridae from the
Wickham collection, the Smithsonian-Firestone collection of Carabi-
dae and Cincindelidae from Liberia collected by Dr. W. M. Mann, the
Klateridae taken by Dr. E. A. Chapin in Jamaica, and those from
Central America contained in the Nevermann collection recently pur-

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 41

chased by the Bureau. A collection of West Indian Carabidae,
received from P. J. Darlington, Jr., was also incorporated. In the col-
lections of adult Coleoptera as a whole there continues to be steady
improvement, which is in part a reflection of studies involved in
identification work and in part the result of revisional research such
as Fisher’s large work on the Chrysobothrini, Blackman’s reviews of
various groups of bark beetles, and Buchanan’s critical studies on
weevils of the Pantomorus complex. In the larval collections steady
improvement has continued, due in considerable part to efforts by Dr.
W.H. Anderson and Dr. B. E. Rees to increase the number of definitely
identified larvae by association with adults through rearing. The
physical condition of the collections of coleopterous larvae is very
good. In Lepidoptera, before J. F. G. Clarke’s departure for military
service, considerable work was done along lines of rearranging various
parts of the Lepidoptera collection, involving the incorporation into
the main collection of material that has long been housed in special
containers and badly scattered. ‘The groups particularly concerned
are two subfamilies of the Phalaenidae, butterflies comprising the
families Danaidae, Riodinidae, and Lycaenidae, and moths of the
families Geometridae and Pyraustidae. The greater part of this ma-
terial was contained in the Barnes, Owens, Blackmore, and Brooklyn
Museum collections, totaling approximately 18,000 specimens. In
connection with this work and minor revisional studies, approxi-
mately 2,000 slides of genitalia were prepared and added to the special
genitalia collections. In addition, the genitalia preparations associ-
ated with the Macrolepidoptera were rearranged, and the whole col-
lection was reorganized to allow for as much expansion as possible in
the groups receiving special attention. In general, the collection of
Lepidoptera can be considered to be excellent, and the material itself
is in good condition. There was no outstanding improvement with
reference to the collection of lepidopterous larvae, but the usual in-
crement of valuable material, most of it received in connection with
identification demands, was added, and more than 300 vials of such
material left over from the fiscal year 1941 were properly labeled and
incorporated.

In the Hemiptera about 12,000 specimens of leafhoppers and
Heteroptera, which have been studied by outside workers, were rein-
corporated in the collection and some rearrangements made in accord-
ance with revised ideas of classification in those groups. The collec-
tion of Aleyrodidae, which was much neglected for many years since
no specialist was assigned to the study of this family, required a great
deal of renovation and reorganization. All labeled slides were re-
moved from the paper folders in which they were held and cleaned.
Approximately 75 percent of them have now been transferred to trans-

42 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

parent containers, a change that obviates the need for duplicate labeling.
About one-fourth of the regular aleyrodid collection was remounted,
the old preparations being unsatisfactory for the critical study that is
now required in this group. In Diptera special emphasis was placed
on rearrangement of the collection of calyptrate Muscoidea in accord-
ance with the system established in Townsend’s “Manual of Myiology.”
Some special attention was given to the bot flies, upon a revision of
which D. G. Hall is engaged. The material in this group, which com-
prises three families, is now rearranged to conform with Mr. Hall’s
most recent views concerning relationships. An important item in
curatorial work was the relabeling of all the species in the groups
assigned to Dr. Alan Stone, which are involved in the name changes
resulting from the acceptance of the Meigen 1,800 generic names of
Diptera. The pinned collection of Tephritidae, exclusive of Anastre-
pha, was partially rearranged, and a large quantity of alcoholic ma-
terial belonging to this family was carefully sorted and put into Jars.
The Anastrepha material was recently reorganized upon the comple-
tion of Dr. Stone’s revision of that group. Until the past year only
the genus Anastrepha, in this family, has been assigned to Dr. Stone,
the balance of the group remaining with C.'T. Greene. Now, however,
the entire family has been turned over to Dr. Stone. Dr. H. K. Townes
identified and arranged in the collection all the Nearctic material of
5 genera of Heleidae and 12 genera of Tendipedidae, involving more
than 3,000 specimens and requiring the preparation of approximately
250 slide mounts of genitalia. About one-half of the national collec-
tion in these two families of Diptera is now in very good order and
accurately determined.

The most conspicuous improvements in the Hymenoptera were
in the collections of sawflies and ants. The sawfly collection was
arranged by R. A. Cushman to conform with the classification
recently proposed by H. H. Ross, thus making Ross’s work more or
less an index to the location of material in the collection here. This
is of considerable value in connection with handling material sub-
mitted for determination. Various groups of ants were carefully
reworked following more or less detailed taxonomic studies by Dr.
M. R. Smith, and some special attention was given to identification of
males that have been badly confused and wrongfully associated. As
a working reference collection the material can now be considered
satisfactory, although there is definite need for authentically named
material, especially from the Neotropical region. A considerable
amount of material in the bees, much of it representing types, was
received from Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell during the year. Several small
shipments of bees, including type specimens, which are the property
of the British Museum, are temporarily housed in the national col-

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 43

lection until conditions warrant shipment to London. In the Chal-
cidoidea the material belonging to the genus Monodontomerus was
arranged to conform with A. B. Gahan’s published revision of that
group; likewise the large collection of the genus Magastigmus was
reorganized in accordance with a revision now in manuscript by
H. E. Milliron. A beginning was made in the Chalcidoidea on the
sorting and incorporation of an immense quantity of material that
has long been stored in Schmitt boxes. The work on the collection of
Thysanoptera has consisted principally in sorting most of the large
quantities of miscellaneous unidentified material and the incorpora-
tion of the usable slides in the regular collection which was completely
reorganized previously, all these slides being placed in transparent
containers. Additions to the named collection of Thysanoptera
are slow but gradual, and the Museum now has representatives of
slightly more than half of the described North American species.
Recently some very desirable material from the Neotropical region
and New Zealand was received, and most of this was carfeully pre-
pared. In the section of ectoparasites, Acarina, and minor insect
orders the arrangement of the collections is substantially the same
as at the end of last year except for the Thysanura. This group has
been completely reworked for the first time, all the material identified
to genus, and much of it specifically named. Some of the collections,
which are under Dr. H. E. Ewing’s supervision, are now in excellent
shape except for the crowding of slides. This is true especially of
the Protura, the Anoplura, the parasitic mites, the Siphonaptera, and
several of the smaller groups of Arachnida. The collection of Mallo-
phaga, which was considered in rather good order ten years ago, is
again in need of rearrangement or relabeling in order to provide
up-to-date names in accordance with the results of recent studies.
No full-time specialist is engaged on the Collembola, but Miss Grace
K. Glance, one of the preparators in the division, has been giving
incidental attention to this order during the last two or three years.
As a result considerable material received in connection with identi-
fication requests was added to the systematic collection which has
been reorganized as far as practicable.

In the division of marine invertebrates the study collections, both
dry and alcoholic, continue in good condition. As in the other
divisions, the alcoholic type specimens were segregated.

In the division of mollusks the greatest achievement was the com-
pletion of the segregation of the type specimens from the study
collection and their packing ready for evacuation. In addition the
incorporation in the study series of the accessions progressed normally.
The helminthological collections remain still in the care of the
zoological division of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture for preservation and study.

44 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

In the division of echinoderms the work of identifying, cataloging,
and incorporating specimens in the collection continued satisfactorily.
The alcoholic type specimens were segregated, and various minor
rearrangements and improvements were made in collections, both
dry and alcoholic.

In the division of plants 26,596 specimens of flowering plants and
ferns were mounted, wholly by adhesive straps, 21,288 of these by
contract and 5,358 by Mrs. E. C. White, assistant scientific aide, who,
in addition, repaired 10,250 specimens and mounted about 11,000
photographs, descriptions, and cross-reference labels. Specimens to
the number of 16,180 were stamped and recorded and thus made
ready for the Herbarium. Of mounted, stamped, and recorded speci-
mens (including sheets bearing descriptions and cross-reference labels
only) there are on hand about 65,000 awaiting incorporation in the
Herbarium, a part of them awaiting identification as well. The
Herbarium has been thoroughly fumigated twice, with more frequent
fumigation being given to specimens in temporary storage. During
the past year and a half the scientific personnel has concentrated on
the segregation of type material. The number of types of flowering
plants so segregated during the past year and added to the type
herbarium is 5,161, almost seven times as many as last year. It was
considered best to transfer from the type herbarium to the general
herbarium 185 mounted photographs that were unaccompanied by
specimens, the net gain to the type herbarium being, therefore, 4,976.
The total number of specimens in the type herbarium is now 28,320,
all of which are especially cataloged and kept in substantial in-
dividual covers. As in the past, E. C. Leonard had immediate charge
of the collection of lower cryptogams, and he incorporated in this
portion of the herbarium several hundred specimens, mostly mosses
and hepatics. John A. Stevenson, honorary curator of the C. G.
Lloyd mycological collections, which are on deposit at the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, reports that these collections proved especially
useful during the past year in connection with studies of wood-
rotting fungi. With the increasing demand for information on the
fungi of South and Central America these collections are invaluable.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

The usual assistance was given to the staffs of the various Govern-
ment bureaus dealing with biological problems, in the form of identi-
fication of specimens, unification and verification of nomenclature,
references to literature, or advice as to means and methods. Such as-
sistance was extended to the Department of State, by advice in inter-
national affairs relating to biological questions as to whaling; to the
Fish and Wildlife Service and the authorities of the various national

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 45

parks; to the Bureau of Animal Industry, by identifying parasites
and their hosts; to the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine,
by identifying animals intercepted in cargoes from abroad and advis-
ing as to the possibility of their being injurious; to the Public Health
Service, by identifying specimens in the course of health surveys; to
the Geological Survey, by comparing fossils with recent species; and
to the coordinators of information of the various departments relating
to problems of defense.

The joint study by Dr. Remington Kellogg, curator of mammals,
and Maj. E. A. Goldman, of the Fish and Wildlife Service, on the
North and Central American white-tailed deer, although nearly com-
pleted, had to be temporarily discontinued because of unforeseen cir-
cumstances. Dr. Kellogg devoted some time to a study of the North
American pine mice of the genus Pitymys. His studies of whales,
including further progress on the preparation of text and illustra-
tions for an account of the fossil whalebone whales of the family
Cetotheriidae, comparative studies of a series of fetal skulls of blue
and finback whales, and further studies on the taxonomy of South
American porpoises were continued as opportunity offered. The as-
sociate curator of mammals, Dr. David H. Johnson, carried on investi-
gations on the taxonomy of North American squirrels and studied
variation in various genera of Oriental mammals. Gerrit S. Mil-
ler, Jr., research associate, was engaged in completion of his studies
of a collection of Sumatran mammals for the Academy of Natural
Sciences of Philadelphia.

The curator of birds, Dr. Herbert Friedmann, completed part 9 of
Bulletin 50, the monograph on the birds of North and Middle America,
and worked on the manscript of part 10, completing the parts dealing
with the turkeys and with the unusually complicated forms and
plumages of the ptarmigan, as well as adding to other parts of the
manuscript. He also wrote a paper on additional data relating to
the birds parasitized by the cowbirds, and another, together with
H. G. Deignan, associate curator, on Tschudi’s types of Peruvian birds.
He began study of the Venezuelan-Brazilian collections made by E. G.
Holt and completed accounts of about 70 forms. He published two
short papers on South American birds as a result of these studies and
also a report on a large collection of bird bones from old Eskimo habi-
tations on Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska. In addition, Dr. Friedmann
served as a member of the Smithsonian War Committee. The late
associate curator of birds, J. H. Riley, devoted considerable time to
the card index of scientific names of birds. The associate curator,
H. G. Deignan, continued his work on the birds of northern Thailand
and completed a large part of the Passeriformes. He published four
papers dealing with new forms discovered in the course of this work

489873434

A6 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

The assistant curator, S. D. Ripley, 2d, studied aspects of speciation
in birds from the islands west of Sumatra and had finished the non-
passeriformes when his release was requested for service more directly
connected with the war effort. He published a short popular article
on oil pollution in sea birds on the New England coast. Dr. Wetmore
published a report on a large collection of birds from North Carolina
and completed the examination of specimens in his work on birds from
Veracruz, Mexico. He studied some of his Colombian material and
published descriptions of a number of new forms from Colombia and
Mexico, two papers on fossil birds, and several short notes on bird
records of interest. He also published an address delivered at the
opening of the Dyche Museum of the University of Kansas and wrote
the foreword to Col. Edgar E. Hume’s book, “Ornithologists of the
Army Medical Corps.”

The curator of reptiles, Dr. L. Stejneger, continued his studies of
American turtles. The work of Dr. Doris M. Cochran, associate cura-
tor, on Brazilian frogs progressed as circumstances permitted.

The curator of fishes, Dr. L. P. Schultz, published a number of pa-
pers chiefly on American tropical fishes, as well as one on the fishes of
Glacier National Park, Mont. In addition he completed a manuscript
on the fresh-water fishes of Liberia, in which seven new species are
described. He also published a paper on Garrupa nigrita (Holbrook)
jointly with E. D. Reid, aide. After the death of Dr. Hugh M. Smith,
Smithsonian associate curator of zoology, Dr. Schultz organized and
edited Dr. Smith’s manuscript on the fresh-water fishes of Thailand
and supervised the drawing of 30 figures representing the new species.

The curator of insects, Dr. E. A. Chapin, continued his studies, espe-
cially those resulting from his recent trip to Colombia, and made some
progress in supplying desired information to Dr. L, M. Murillo, gov-
ernment entomologist of Colombia. With other members of the Mu-
seum staff he collaborated in the project calling for the preparation
of a catalog of insects of the Neotropical regions. Considerable prog-
ress was made in the Odonata by the curator, and in the Coleoptera by
the associate curator, Dr. R. E. Blackwelder.

The research work by the staff members of the Bureau of Ento-
mology and Plant Quarantine may be briefly summarized as follows:
In the Orthoptera and the neuropteroid groups work was continued on
the grasshoppers comprising the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae of
the Middle West. As Dr. A. B. Gurney was called into the Army, the
grasshopper study was laid aside indefinitely. A paper presenting a
synopsis of the psocids comprising the tribe Phyllipsocini was com-
pleted. In the groups of Coleoptera under the supervision of H. S.
Barber some preliminary research was conducted in the genera Chale-
pus, Paria, and Rhabdopterus, and a short paper dealing with taxon-

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 47

omy and nomenclature of various common species of Dermestes was
completed. W.S. Fisher began revisional studies in the Bostrichidae
and the Anobiidae, undertaken because the groups are of considerable
economic importance and are in a badly confused state from a taxo-
nomic standpoint. The discovery of another new white-fringed beetle
in Florida induced a restudy of the entire white-fringed beetle problem
by L. L. Buchanan, and a paper embodying the results of his investiga-
tions was virtually completed. The work involved detailed study of
an enormous number of individual specimens collected in the Gulf
coast region and also study of all available material from South Amer-
ica. Analyses of especially troublesome genera and species groups
for purposes of identification were made by Dr. J. M. Valentine in the
Cicindelidae, Carabidae, Elateridae, and Anthicidae. More than 20
genera are involved, and in several cases the work has progressed to
the point of outlining papers for possible publication. The family
Klateridae represents a group of much economic importance yet badly
neglected by taxonomists. It is in need of much serious work, and Dr.
Valentine will for the present concentrate on various genera in this
group. Asa background for this study, the types of most of the North
American species were examined and compared with the National
Museum material. All the West Indian material available was care-
fully reviewed, and a good deal more has been borrowed from the Mu-
seum of Comparative Zoology. It is intended to preface the projected
paper on West Indian Conoderus with an illustrated treatment of re-
lated genera and subgenera. A considerable number of the drawings
have already been prepared, and most of the basic revisional work has
been done. Dr. M. W. Blackman completed studies of the Pityophtho-
rini from Mexico and tropical America involving the description of a
new genus and 43 new species. Dr. W. H. Anderson outlined a revision
of larvae of Rhyncophora. Provisional generic keys to four of the
tribes were prepared. In addition to his work on ccleopterous larvae
Dr. Anderson studied adults of the meloid genera #'picauta and Macro-
basis, with the object of preparing revisions of these two economic
groups. It now develops, however, that an outside worker is also en-
gaged on a study of the same genera, and for the present Dr. Ander-
son’s work has been discontinued. Dr. B. E. Rees continued his studies
of the larvae of Coccinellidae and Dermestidae. He prepared a ten-
tative key to the genera of Coccinellidae and shortly before being called
for military service completed a classification of the Dermestidae based
on larval characters and including a key to the North American genera.

In Lepidoptera, before his departure for military service in Febru-
ary, J. F. Gates Clarke did some research work on several groups
contained in his assignments. Studies in the Phalaenidae, with a
view to reclassification based on genitalia, were accelerated, and

48 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

intermittent work was done on a projected revision of the Micro-
lepidoptera comprising the family Phaloniidae, but this is still in
the early stages. His catalog of the microlepidopterous fauna of the
State of Washington now contains more than 500 pages of manuscript
but in many sections will need extensive revision. A new lepidop-
terous pest of mimosa in the District of Columbia and vicinity,
apparently representing an introduction from Australia, was rather
thoroughly investigated by him and a paper completed for publication
describing the insect and the damage it causes. H. W. Capps con-
tinued work on certain groups in the family Geometridae, particu-
larly the Ennominae and Claphyriinae, but this research has not
progressed beyond the preliminary stages; the study of the Gla-
phyriinae was discontinued, since this group is of no special economic
importance. Carl Heinrich in cooperation with Mr. Capps gave
special attention to the development of an illustrated key to the
families of North American Lepidoptera based on larvae. Further.
studies were carried on in an effort to clarify the taxonomy of the
complex known as Symmerista albifrons, and large series of moths
and slides have been carefully studied. Progress on Mr. Heinrich’s
long-time project, involving the classification of the Phycitidae, con-
sisted essentially of the preparation of numerous genitalic illustra-
tions. W. D. Field continued research in the arctiid subfamily
Lithosiinae, reviewing large quantities of material in the collection
and making many genitalic slides. Meanwhile a revisional study
was begun in the hesperid genus Hrynnzs. Thus far approximately
300 genitalia slides have been made, and from their study the males
of all the species have been properly associated. ‘This represents an
important forward step since the material was previously in great
disorder.

In Hemiptera, H. G. Barber continued work on a review of the
lygaeid genus Vysius. He also gave some attention to the pentatomid
genus Chlorochroa. Dr. P. W. Oman’s work on the generic revision
of the Cicadellidae was continued. Because of the attention that has
been attracted to certain genera of leafhoppers, the members of which
are vectors of important plant diseases, it has been necessary to begin
synoptic studies of some of these in order to establish as definitely as
possible the limits of species contained in them. The genera to which
Dr. Oman has devoted especial attention are Phlepsius, Helochara,
Draeculacephala, and Macropsis. He also began some intensive work
on the classification of the immature stages of Psyllidae with particular
reference to the differentiation of the pear psylla from related forms
occurring in the same habitat. In the Aleyrodidae, Miss Louise Rus-
sell concentrated on the genus 7rialeurodes and completed the first
draft of a revision of the Nearctic species. Research in the aphids

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 49

consisted of intermittent work on certain groups that are abundantly
received for identification and that are in need of exact study. Work
on the genus Aakimia was continued, and beginning was made on a
study of the genus Macrosiphum, which contains numerous economi-
cally important species, some of them vectors of plant diseases. The
large project involving classification of the families of Diptera on
the basis of larval characters was temporarily laid aside and attention
focused on a study of the dipterous larvae commonly intercepted by
plant quarantine officers. This is of considerable importance from the
Bureau’s standpoint at present, since it is felt that the inspectors
should be given some practical guidance in the recognition of the
more important and more commonly intercepted dipterous larvae.
Another study in larvae of Diptera, upon which C. T. Greene has
begun work, concerns the economic species of Agromyzidae compris-
ing the genus Liriomyza. Considerable progress was made by D. G.
Hall on a revision of the bot flies. Tentative keys for separating the
genera and species were prepared. Virtually all the time Dr. Alan
Stone was able to find for research was devoted to a review of the
Nearctic Simuliidae, begun last year. The work on the adults is rather
well along, but much remains to be done with the pupae and larvae.
Dr. H. K. Townes carried on research in the dipterous families
Heleidae and Tendipedidae. In the former he completed a prelim-
inary study of the Nearctic species of six genera and prepared tenta-
tive keys to the species of each genus. Altogether 54 species are
involved. Before being appointed to the division, Dr. Townes had a
revision of the Nearctic Tendipedini well along, and intermittently
he has continued with this. Keys to the genera and species had been
prepared, and descriptions of 188 of the 198 known Nearctic species
have been completed.

In the Hymenoptera research consisted largely of continuing work
on A. B. Gahan’s proposed key to the families of Chalcidoidea.
Some serious difficulties have been encountered in the complexes sur-
rounding the Pteromalidae, Callimomidae, and Eurytomidae, and it
was felt that some of the immense amount of unsorted material might
contain series that would be of assistance on this problem. Accord-
ingly, sorting and identification of that large accumulation of speci-
mens were begun. As he progressed with his study of the
ichneumonid genus Ophion, R. A. Cushman found that a prerequisite
to satisfactory treatment of the group is a clarification of the generic
limits of the tribe Ophionini. A tentative key to the world genera
of this group was devised and approximately 80 drawings, to be
used in illustrating this key, were prepared. He also redefined
various genera of Ichneumonidae proposed by Ashmead, concerning
the identity of which there has been much confusion. Dr. M. R.

50 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

Smith completed a study of the legionary ants of the United States,
and made excellent progress on a generic classification of North
American ants based on males. Jointly with Dr. C. E. Mickel, of
the University of Minnesota, Karl V. Krombein completed a paper
on species of the genus Glyptometopa and related genera in the
Brachycistidinae. Three short papers completed by Mr. Krombein
describe new species of wasps and include a revision of the West
Indian Myzininae.

In Thysanoptera, J. C. Crawford is emphasizing the improvement
of the collection and the description of new miscellaneous species
received among materials submitted for determination. Dudley
Moulton, a thysanopterist of Redwood City, Calif., was given ap-
pointment in this division for a period of six months and has already
done a good deal of work on the economically important genus
Frankliniella. In ectoparasites, Acarina, and minor orders, the ge-
neric classification of the fleas by Dr. H. E. Ewing and Irving Fox
was completed early in 1942 and submitted for publication. The
research work on chiggers, which was started last year by Dr. Ewing,
was also completed, and the results are embodied in a paper entitled,
“The Taxonomy of Some American Chiggers, Including Descriptions
of New Genera and Species.” Jointly with H. S. Nesbitt, Dr. Ewing
investigated the taxonomy of the economic grain mites, and a paper
on this subject was completed.

A detailed study of the “Skeleto-Muscular Mechanisms of the
Honey Bee” was completed by R. E. Snodgrass and submitted for
publication in the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections.

Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, curator of marine invertebrates, continued
studies on the marine and fresh-water Crustacea of South America.
A revision of the endemic South American fresh-water genus Aegla
and the description of a new species of sandbug, with a revision of
the genus Blepharipoda to which it belongs, were completed.
Clarence R. Shoemaker, associate curator, devoted a considerable part
of his time to a comprehensive report on the amphipods of the Ber-
muda oceanographic expeditions of the New York Zoological So-
ciety. J. O. Maloney, aide, continued to identify isopods taken from
plant importations by the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quaran-
tine. He completed a paper dealing with the Isopoda of the Presi-
dential Cruise of 1938. Dr. R. S. Bassler reports that a collection
of 150 jars of dredgings from the Gulf of Lower California, many
rich in well-preserved Bryozoa, was sorted and the specimens placed
in the collection, ready for further study. From time to time
progress was made in identifying odd lots of specimens from the old
Albatross dredgings. Many types of recent Bryozoa were selected
and packed with the fossil forms for evacuation. Dr. J. A. Cushman,

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 51

collaborator in Foraminifera, reports that further work on the fourth
and final part of “The Foraminifera of the Tropical Collections of
the Albatross, 1899-1900” was done. Studies of some of the recent
genera were made in connection with the fossil species of the same
genera.

The curator of mollusks, Dr. Paul Bartsch, in collaboration with
Dr. Carlos de la Torre, of Habana, continued his studies on Cuban
land mollusks, the year’s endeavors being focused on the family
Urocoptidae. Dr. Bartsch moreover published “A Synopsis of the
Philippine Land Mollusks of the Genus Hemitrichia” and “New
Species of Urocoptid Land Mollusks from Mexico.” The curator and
Dr. H. A. Rehder, associate curator, continued researches on the
Hawaiian gastropods. Dr. Rehder likewise continued minor re-
searches, principally on the West Atlantic marine fauna. Dr. J. P. E.
Morrison continued work on the American Amnicolidae, especially on
the group inhabiting the springs and caves in Virginia. Researches
upon helminths were conducted by the members of the staff of the
zoological division of the Bureau of Animal Industry.

Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan and Dr. John W. Wells continued studies
on corals.

In the division of echinoderms, the curator, Austin H. Clark, in
collaboration with Gorden J. Lockley, of the British Museum, pre-
pared a report upon the most recent coliection of Greenland echino-
derms assembled by Capt. Robert A. Bartlett. All other time that
could be spared from the usual routine and from work in connection
with safeguarding the collection was devoted to the completion of
Bulletin 82, “A Monograph of the Existing Crinoids.”

In the division of plants as in all the other divisions the threat of
war and finally war itself resulted in a redistribution of the emphasis
placed on the various lines of work. Thesegregation of type material
for special safekeeping was considered of prime importance, and the
number of types segregated is many times greater than the average
of preceding years. To determine which among the approximately
1,800,000 specimens in the general herbarium constitute type material
requires a vast amount of research, involving the constant consultation
of literature, inasmuch as only a small fraction of the types are so
indicated. Through W. P. A. assistance many thousand descriptions
were copied during recent years, and these have been of inestimable
value in detecting the types. Obviously, however, these descriptions
have had to be sorted and made ready for filing in the herbarium before
they could be so used. The return of material here on loan from other
institutions has been considered of importance second only to the
segregation of types, in view of the national situation. The greater
part of this material belonged to groups in which the members of the

52 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

staff were recognized specialists. The study of some of this material
was completed and the loans have been returned, and every effort will
be made to return the rest of it as possible, thereby relieving the divi-
sion of the responsibility of safeguarding the property of other insti-
tutions in the event of attack. Dr. W. R. Maxon continued his studies
of tropical American ferns. E. P. Killip, associate curator, col-
laborated with Colombian and Venezuelan botanists in the study of
the flora of those countries and carried on the work of organizing the
South American collections, giving special attention to groups of eco-
nomic importance. E. C. Leonard, assistant curator, prepared an ac-
count of the Acanthaceae of the Sonora Desert region. C. V. Morton,
in connection with his study of Gesneriaceae and Solanaceae, wrote
three papers, and also prepared a report on the M. E. Jones collection
from Mexico. Dr. E. H. Walker, assistant curator, prepared a report
on certain Asiatic Myrsinaceae submitted to him by the Arnold
Arboretum. He also directed the activities of the Conference on
District of Columbia Flora, which issued a checklist and several
preliminary treatments and bulletins. Mrs. Agnes Chase gave much
attention to Venezuelan grasses and assisted several South American
botanists who were pursuing their studies at the National Herbarium.

The number of specimens identified totaled at least 25,000 (in the
division of plants 13,657; marine invertebrates 4,370). Specifically the
number of lots with request for identification was as follows: Mam-
mals, 32; birds, 35; reptiles and amphibians, 13; fishes, 25; insects, 79;
marine invertebrates, 64; mollusks, 83; helminths, 5; corals, 2; echino-
derms, 40; plants, 232.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

Duplicate zoological specimens distributed to museums, colleges,
high schools, and similar institutions aggregated 664 specimens and
1,029 specimens were sent out inexchange. The 16,601 plants distrib-
uted were sent out as exchanges to 69 institutions and correspondents;
of them 58 were in the United States and 11 in other countries. In
addition about 6,000 duplicate specimens of plants were set aside for
dispatch to various foreign institutions, among them a considerable
number to Brazil and Argentina, in continuation of exchanges, as soon
as conditions permit.

NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DEPARTMENT

The summary of specimens given below is based on the numbers
estimated for the previous fiscal year with the addition of the speci-
mens 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.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY 53

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 spec-

imens though they may contain hundreds and even thousands of
- Individuals the enumeration of which could serve no useful purpose.

(R. S. BAsster, Head Curator)

TuE anticipated decrease in the quantity of geological materials re-
ceived during the year, through the loss of foreign sources, has been
compensated by the gains made in the care of the collections, due also
to war conditions. Safety required not only the removal to lower
floors of the large series of rocks, minerals, and fossils hitherto stored
on the fourth floor, but also segregation of the many thousands of
irreplaceable type specimens for storage elsewhere during the
emergency. This work, under the able direction of Curator C. E.
Resser, occupied most of the staff for more than two months. Like-
wise, all members participated in the selection, listing, and packing of
the type specimens, which extended over a still longer period. Not-
withstanding the time thus occupied, several important research prob-
lems were advanced, and a few large manuscripts have been sent to
press or are well on the way to completion.

The allotment of funds from the Smithsonian Institution and the
cooperation of several defense bureaus enabled five members of the
staff to pursue active field work. Thus, in cooperation with the U.S.
Geological Survey, Curator W. F. Foshag spent more than half of the
year in Mexico supervising surveys for strategic minerals. Associate
Curator E. P. Henderson and others of the department have been
engaged on various defense problems, mainly in the office where they
furnished information to war agencies and instructed their repre-
sentatives on geological matters before they left for their field
assignments.

In the several divisions of paleontology, field work in the summer
of 1941 designed to build up the exhibition and study series comprised
two extended trips to the western United States and Canada. The first,
to Texas and Oklahoma by Associate Curator G. A. Cooper, resulted
in large and unique collections of Pennsylvanian and Permian fossils;
the second, to the Canadian Rockies and Wasatch Mountains by Dr.
Resser, yielded important stratigraphic information and many Cam-
brian trilobites and other invertebrate fossils. In 1942 Curator C. W.
Gilmore headed a party starting in early June to explore the Oligocene
rocks of eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska, where good progress
in the discovery of mammalian remains has already been reported. As-
sociate Curator C. Lewis Gazin conducted explorations in the summer
of 1941 in the Eocene Bridger formation and Palaeocene deposits of

54

Or

southwestern and western Wyoming, respectively, to obtain materia!
for the mammalian study series. He concluded the season with a trip
to Fort Peck, Mont., where the Cenozoic gravels of that area were
investigated for fossil vertebrate animals.

ACCESSIONS FOR THE YEAR

The number of accessions for the year totals 1388, comprising ap-
proximately 32,418 specimens, as compared with 168 accessions last
year with 55,818 specimens. The individual records for the several
divisions are as follows: Mineralogy and petrology, 57 accessions
(186 specimens) ; physical and chemical geology, 8 accessions (92 speci-
mens); invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany, 57 accessions
(31,972 specimens); vertebrate paleontology, 16 accessions (168
specimens).

Mineralogy and petrology—The most important specimens of the
156 minerals added to the Roebling collection by 13 accessions through
purchase from this fund are the following: A large, deeply etched
aquamarine from Agua Preta, Minas Geraes, Brazil, the finest single
specimen acquired during the past year; exceptional examples of the
copper minerals diaboleite, shattuckite, dioptase, linarite, and the lead
carbonate cerussite, from the Mammoth Mine, Tiger, Ariz.; an unusual
crystallized turquoise, from Lynch Station, Va.; a fair-sized monazite
crystal, from Municipio do Ferros, Minas Geraes, Brazil; and a mass
of the phosphate lithiophilite from Newry, Maine.

The three accessions credited to the Canfield fund contained excep-
tionally fine minerals, of which the most noteworthy were secured by
the purchase of choice specimens from Dr. Otto Runge’s collection.

Other notable specimens added to the mineral collections are as
follows: A specimen of native copper from Puriscal, Costa Rica, pre-
sented by Alfonso Segura, of the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica; a
specimen of arsenical antimony, allemontite, from Varutrisk, Sweden,
a gift of Drs. Percy Quensel and P. E. Wretblad, of the Stockholm
Hogskolas Mineralogiska Institut, Stockholm, Sweden; several chalced-
ony pseudomorphs formed after fossil corals at Tampa Bay, Fla.,
received from Frank Ingram; a millerite specimen from Edwards-
ville, Pa., donated by Anthony Lipski; a selected lot of staurolites, the
interesting cross stone crystals, forwarded by Dr. Harry B. Johnston;
a specimen of the manganese sulphide, alabandite, from Santa Cruz
Mine, Mexico, received from Arthur L. Flagg; a selection of feldspar
crystals from Sierra Blanca, Tex., presented by J. B. Carson; and an
unusual uranium specimen composed of uraninite, uranophane, and
gummite from Keystone, S. Dak., the donation of F. W. Horton, of
the U. S. Bureau of Mines. Jenaro Gonzdlez, of the Instituto Geo-
l6gico de México, presented a specimen of magnetite from Isla Mar-

56 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

garita, Baja California; Prof. Vincent P. Gianella continued his inter-
est in the collections by donating three Nevada minerals—the hydrous
copper arsenic mineral, clinoclasite, from Majuba Hill, and the mag-
nesium compounds, brucite and hydromagnesite, from Paradise Range;
and Prof. Lawrence Whitcomb presented one lot of Ordovician ben-
tonite from Reedsville, Pa.

The bequest of Mrs. Mary Vaux Walcott brought the most outstand-
ing additions to the gem collection. Among these a valuable 12-carat
gemstone, alexandrite, possessing an attractive change of color, a string
of pearls, and 14 necklaces of gem quality should be especially men-
tioned. Each necklace is composed of well-matched stones of a single
mineral, amber, quartz, citrine, lazulite, fossil wood, serpentine, ame-
thyst, agate, and ivory being included in those represented. A polished
specimen of California obsidian having unusual colors combined with a
purplish sheen was presented by Archibald N. Goddard. <A strand of
jade with a unique reddish-brown color, and a remarkably fine piece of
polished green Burma jade were purchased through the Frances Lea
Chamberlain fund. An andalusite of unusual size and beauty, 7.7
carats in weight, from Minas Geraes, Brazil, was also acquired through
this fund.

The collection of meteorites was enlarged by additions recorded in
nine accessions. Dr, Stuart H. Perry presented a complete specimen
of the Rose City, Mich., stony meteorite, weighing 2,690 grams, one of
the largest individuals of that fall. A specimen of the Santa Rosa,
Colombia, meteorite was received by exchange with the Laboratorio
Quimico Nacional de Andlisis e Investigacion, of Bogota, through Dr.
Jorge Ancizar-Sordo. J. H. Marsman donated four specimens of tek-
tites from Paracale Bay, Philippines, while another of these peculiar
structures with a glasslike interior and unusual surface etchings was
obtained by purchase through the Roebling fund. Other specimens
secured for this collection through the Roebling fund include the fol-
lowing: The large Carlton iron, 623 pounds, which forms a part of the
Tucson, Ariz., meteorite and is a member of the same shower as the
Museum’s Ring meteorite; a 15-pound stone individual of the Plain-
view, Tex., fall; a 566-gram iron constituting a new discovery from
Wathena, Kans., an ataxite which has been analyzed but not yet de-
scribed ; a stony meteorite, 730 grams, from Boelus, Nebr., still await-
ing study; and a slice of the Potter, Nebr., stone, a weathered chondrite.

Among the ores accessioned during the fiscal year, the outstanding
example is the 184-pound mass of cassiterite from Goodwin Gulch,
Seward Peninsula, Alaska, received as a transfer from the United
States Geological Survey. This rare specimen, a placer boulder, per-
haps the largest single piece of this tin mineral ever found, forms an
interesting exhibit. Additional transfers are a series of mercury ores

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 57

from Oregon, important in defense work, from the United States Geo-
logical Survey, and a series of Terrazzo marbles, from the National
Bureau of Standards. Through the kindness of J. H. Ashley, of
Fresnillo, Zacatecas, Mexico, there was received from the Fresnillo
Co. six silver-lead ores illustrative of the economic geology of that
area.

The main additions to the rock collection resulted from the revision
and condensation necessary to accommodate the petrographic material
transferred from the fourth floor. Many of the specimens were found
to be best suited for preservation in the rock series which, as a result,
has been considerably enlarged.

Invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany.—The number of acces-
sions and total specimens received in this division during the past year
decreased less than was expected under existing conditions. The most
noteworthy acquisition was the transfer from the United States Geo-
logical Survey of more than 1,500 type specimens of fossil inverte-
brates described and illustrated by Dr. L. W. Stephenson in his report
entitled “The Larger Invertebrate Fossils of the Navarro Group of
Texas” (Publication 4104, University of Texas). Next in importance
are the collections of invertebrates from various Paleozoic formations
of Oklahoma and Texas resulting from Dr. G. A. Cooper’s field work
of the summer 1941. Approximately 4 tons of limestone blocks con-
taining beautifully preserved silicified fossils suitable for freeing from
the rock by etching with acid were secured by him in the Permian for-
mations of the Glass Mountains of Texas. Similarly, the field work
of Dr. C. E. Resser brought in about 8,000 invertebrate fossils from
the Cambrian and Devonian rocks of Montana, Utah, and the Canadian
Rockies.

The peculiar Paleozoic corallike group Stromatoporoidea, of the
biologic series, received special attention during the year. Two gifts
and three exchanges were arranged, the former from the New York
State Museum and the latter from the Royal Ontario Museum of
Paleontology and Peabody Museum of Natural History, whereby small
slices of the type specimens in their respective collections were secured.
The thin sections prepared from these fragments have now made the
national collection a truly representative one for research in these
organisms.

The echinoderm series, in spite of the rarity of these fossils, was
further enhanced by valuable material. A set of topotypes of the
very primitive Middle Cambrian echinoderms from Australia, de-
scribed by Prof. F. W. Whitehouse, was a gift from the University
of Queensland. An exchange from Max J. Kopf added 97 specimens
of starfishes, crinoids, and blastoids from the Trenton and Hamilton
formations of western New York and Canada. From the same forma-

58 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

tions in Ontario specimens of other rare echnioderms were secured by
purchase. An especially good collection of crinoids from the Lower
Mississippian rocks of Iowa, containing exhibition slabs as well as
free individuals for the study series, also was purchased.

A representative set of Cambrian and Ordovician trilobites and
other invertebrates from the celebrated Levis conglomerate outcrops
came as a gift from Prof. Franco Rasetti.

A welcome addition to the ostracod collection was a gift from Dr.
William H. Deaderick made up of 81 lots consisting of many thousands
of specimens selected from the various Upper Cretaceous formations
of Arkansas. Other Cretaceous fossils worthy of mention comprised
topotypes of invertebrates from California, an exchange from Stan-
ford University, and rare crabs from North Dakota, the gift of William
A. Cobban.

In the section of Cenozoic invertebrates, 11 accessions were recorded,
ageregating about 500 specimens. The most significant material came
to the collections as donations, as follows: 103 casts of Cenozoic mol-
luscan types from the University of California Museum of Paleontol-
ogy, Berkeley; 7 topotypes of the gastropod Gontobasis effosa Max-
well Smith from Belle Glade, Fla., presented by Mr. Smith; about
59 specimens of Middle Miocene fossil shells from Costa Rica, from
the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica, through Alfonso Segura P.; 60 spec-
imens of Pleistocene fresh-water mollusks from Bolivia, gift of Martin
Cardenas, of Cochabamba; and type specimens of California Pliocene
Foraminifera, from M. L. Natland.

The accessions to the fossil plant collection were few in number but
were interesting for several reasons. A number of plant-bearing con-
cretions from the Coal Measures near Wilmington, IIl., the gift of
George Langford, represented a new occurrence for the Mazon Creek
flora so well represented in the Museum series of types. A new species
of fossil vine, presented by Mark M. Foster and described by Dr. R. W.
Brown, was of especial interest in its relation to the opals from Rain-
bow Ridge Fire Opal Mine, Nevada, where the specimen was found.
Fossil wood from Califernia, gift of Carl J. Bleifus, was valuable in
showing the occurrence of Teredo borings within it; and a polished slab
of fossil elm from the petrified forest of Mojave Desert, Calif., was an
important addition to the wood series.

Vertebrate paleontology.—The accessions for this division numbered
16, covering an estimated total of 168 specimens, as compared with 20
accessions comprising 182 specimens for the year 1940-41.

The outstanding accession for the year was the collection resulting
from the field expedition of the past summer to the Bridger formation
of Wyoming. The party secured 120 lots of unsually good materials
of the smaller mammals. One specimen worthy of particular note is
the lower jaws and parts of the skeleton of the rare Stylinodon. Good

material was also collected of the early rhinoceros Hyrachyus and the
primitive titanothere Palaeosyops. A large slab of turtle remains was
excavated and shipped for preparation in the laboratory as a striking
exhibition piece. A small collection of Paleocene mammals was
obtained from western Wyoming.

Through exchange with Vanderbilt University the type collection
was enriched by 15 fossil turtle specimens, of which five were original
types, as follows: Trachemys jarmani, T. sculpta, Deirochelys flori-
dana, Pseudemys extincta, and Macrochelys floridana, all described
by Dr. O. P. Hay. A composite skeleton of the very primitive spined
reptile, Edaphosaurus boanerges Romer, from the Permian of Texas,
an excellent specimen for mounting for exhibition, was received from
the Museum of Comparative Zoology in completion of an exchange
of the previous year.

Important zeuglodont specimens and a unique primitive titanothere
skull and jaws from the Jackson and Lisbon formations, respectively,
of Mississippi, were deposited by Prof. J. Magruder Sullivan. Primi-
tive vertebrate remains from concretions in the Coal Measures of
Illinois, among the rarest of Paleozoic finds, were included in a gift
from George Langford.

The cetacean collection was enriched by a number of incomplete
specimens from the Calvert formation of the Chesapeake Bay region,
received from various sources.

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF THE COLLECTIONS

Progress under this heading has been of a quite different nature
from that of previous years, for all members of the staff were
occupied a substantial portion of the time in providing suitable safety
for the collections. The removal of the rock, mineral, and fossil series
stored in the east section of the fourth floor to more secure locations on
the lower floors was of such prime importance that to secure the neces-
sary space the building stone hall on the second floor had to be con-
verted into a storage space. A duly appointed commiitee recommended
that the building stone exhibit be reduced in size and that specimens
that had outlived their usefulness be made available to other Govern-
ment bureaus. As a result, a considerable portion of such material
was accepted by the National Bureau of Standards for use in testing
the weathering conditions of various types of building materials. The
space thus obtained made room for a portion of the rock series and
all the Paleozoic invertebrate fossil collections. Then, the paleobotani-
cal collections formerly occupying the northern half of the fourth floor
were removed as a unit into two rows of cases 9 feet high lining both
sides of the northeast basement hallway. The Mesozoic fossil collec-
tion was placed similarly along the west side of the east basement
hallway. Before removal each of these large collections was con-

60 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

densed by elimination of much duplicate material, a task in which
most of the staff had a part.

Subsequently came the packing of type specimens throughout the
department for evacuation from the building, a task of such size that
an entire year would have been required, instead of several months,
had not the members of the Geological Survey located in the Natural
History Building given their wholehearted assistance.

Last year’s plan to divide the western half of the physical geology
hall into three large alcoves was advanced to the completion of the
necessary construction work so that the exhibition work has just now
been inaugurated. Reduction of the collections stored in the fourth
floor, the shifting to other locations, as well as rejection of much dupli-
cate material required most of E. P. Henderson’s time since January
when this work began. The head curator, however, found time to
complete the relabeling in more popular form of the two remaining
alcoves, namely, those devoted to glacial phenomena and rock struc-
tures. Illustrative diagrams and photographs are being added as fast
as good material can be obtained.

In the study series of minerals, work in the consolidation of the
three mineral collections into one series progressed to the completion
of slightly more than one-half the entire set.

B. O. Reberholt was as usual occupied in cutting and polishing rocks,
minerals, and meteorites for exhibition purposes and in general work
connected with the rock cutting laboratory. He reports the prepara-
tion of 682 thin sections and the slicing and polishing of 165 fossils,
rocks, ores, and meteorites.

As noted before, Dr. C. E. Resser was engaged during the major
part of the year in supervisory work connected with the transfer of
all collections and packing of types for evacuation so that progress,
other than routine care, was not made on the particular materials in
his care. Associate Curator G. A. Cooper completed the preparation
of various lots of Pennsylvanian fossils obtained on his summer’s field
trip from the midcontinent area, particularly in Texas and Oklahoma,
with the result that the Museum now has excellent representations
from this region for study.

With the return of the large graptolite collection lent to the New
York State Museum for monographic study by Dr. R. Ruedemann,
the head curator undertook the preparation and arrangement of this
material. The final labeling and cataloging must await the publi-
cation of Dr. Ruedemann’s monograph. He continued work upon
the arrangement and expansion of the biologic series of Paleozoic
corals, which now occupy about 500 standard drawers. Several hun-
dred thin sections of characteristic corals were added to the slide
series and a new set prepared from fragments of type specimens

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 61

secured from other museums was built up for the Stromatoporoidea,
allied Paleozoic coelenterates.

The rearrangement of the stratigraphic series made the materials so
readily available for study that the Mesozoic collections especially
received a greater amount of preparatory work than otherwise pos-
sible. Drs. J. B. Reeside, Jr., Ralph W. Imlay, and L. W. Stephenson,
of the United States Geological Survey staff, were active in this work.
The Cenozoic collections through the work of the Survey specialists
have been much improved.

In the section of paleobotany, the collections were particularly en-
riched by Dr. R. W. Brown’s field work in Mesozoic and Cenozoic for-
mations where he searched especially for fruits and seeds as checks
upon the leaf identification so largely relied on in the past. The
preparation and study of these materials were completed. He also
collected many plant and animal remains as evidence for the determ1-
nation of the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary in the Rocky Mountain
region.

In the division of vertebrate paleontology, C. W. Gilmore reports
that during the past year a nearly complete skeleton of Crocodylus
clavis Cope, from the Middle Eocene Bridger formation of Uinta
County, Wyo., was mounted for the exhibition series. This specimen
was freed entirely from the surrounding rock and is unique in being
the first complete extinct crocodile skeleton to be exhibited in this
country.

In addition to mounting the crocodile skeleton and supervising prep-
aratory work in the laboratory, Norman H. Boss, chief preparator,
is well advanced with the work of articulating a skeleton of the prim1-
tive reptile Hdaphosaurus. At various times he was also called upon
to prepare a number of delicate fossil remains. T. J. Horne completed
mounting the skeleton of the large primitive mammal, Uintatheriwm
robustum, mentioned in last year’s report, with excellent result. The
specimen is notable as being the most complete skeleton of this animal
yet found. Mr. Horne devoted the remainder of his time to the
preparation of the 1941 and 1942 fossil collections from the Bridger
formation. |

As a result of the combined preparatory work, all the 1940 and about
half of the 1941 collections from the Bridger formation in storage have
been completely prepared and arranged in the study collections. Asso-
ciate Curator C. L. Gazin reports that most of these collections have
been sorted, arranged, and partially identified.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Dr. E. O. Ulrich, associate in paleontology, continued the study of

his collections of past years, checking his identifications and revising
489873 —43——_5

62 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

their stratigraphic position. As always, his knowledge and experience
were at the service of coworkers.

Three members of the staff, Drs. Resser, Cooper, and Bassler, were
occupied at intervals during the past year in paleontological investi-
gations requiring some research but particularly the illustration of
many specimens in the national collections. This was in connection
with assistance furnished in rewriting and illustrating the chapters
on the trilobites, brachiopods, and bryozoans for a new edition of the
standard manual of paleontology, “North American Index Fossils,”
by Shimer and Shrock. As a byproduct of this work, Dr. Cooper
prepared a paper describing 20 new brachiopod genera. He has also
concentrated on bringing near completion the Chazyan brachiopod
monograph that he has had under study in collaboration with Dr.
Ulrich for several years. This has involved preparing photographs
for approximately 100 plates that will be required to illustrate the 500
or more species described in the work.

Dr. Resser’s research resulted in the publication of the fifth in a
series of nomenclatorial papers and a work on the Cambrian Maryvale
formation of the southern Appalachians based on his recent field work.
In addition, he completed and submitted for printing a study of the
Grand Canyon Cambrian faunas and an extensive article describing
many new Upper Cambrian trilobite species. Asa result of a talk on
fossil roses, he was requested to prepare an article on the subject,
which was accordingly published in the 1942 Rose Annual.

The head curator, in preparatory work upon the coral collections,
took the opportunity to study several complex families, so that manu-
scripts upon these subjects are well under way. The “Bibliographic
and Faunal Index of Paleozoic Pelmatozoan Echinoderms,” men-
tioned last year as practically completed, was accepted for publication
by the Geological Society of America.

Dr. Charles Butts progressed with his studies on the geology of
western Virginia in cooperation with the State Survey. In the course
of the year he prepared and studied many of the Paleozoic faunas of
the Appalachian Valley.

Work upon the echinoderms was continued by Dr. Edwin Kirk,
three publications being issued during the year. Lloyd Henbest, of
the Geological Survey staff, cared for the smaller fossil Foraminifera
and forwarded his researches upon the Paleozoic genera. Dr. Josiah
Bridge spent the greater part of the year in defense work for the
Geological Survey, particularly in directing the field parties searching
for bauxite in the Appalachians. During spare moments, however, he
continued his studies of Lower Paleozoic gastropods, mainly the pe-
culiar forms known as Ceratopea.

Dr. L. W. Stephenson advanced his studies of the Upper Cretaceous
faunas of Texas and now, after publication of the fauna of the Navarro

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 63

group of Texas, is actively at work on the Woodbine formation. Dr.
J. B. Reeside, Jr., in the little time available from his administrative
duties, continued his studies of the Upper Mesozoic ammonites. At
the close of the year he was occupied with Upper Cretaceous forms
from Haiti, the first record of this group in that part of the world.
Associated with the ammonites were various rudistids, the peculiar
bivalved shells of Mesozoic times, which he has also taken under
study. Dr. Ralph Imlay, in his scientific work upon the Museum’s
collections, specialized upon the Jurassic fossils and stratigraphy of
Mexico and the Southern States and on the oil possibilities of these
formations in the Gulf region. He paid particular attention to the
ammonites, employing them on economic problems in Cuba and the
Gulf area.

Researches on Cenozoic invertebrates were conducted, as in the
past, by members of the United States Geological Survey. Their
efforts when not engaged in defense work were directed to special prob-
lems of Tertiary stratigraphy and paleontology. Dr. C. Wythe
Cooke, in monographing the Tertiary echinoids of the Atlantic and
Gulf Coastal Plains, made frequent use of these fossils in the Springer
collection. Dr. Harry S. Ladd had little time for paleontologic work
but made important collections of Paleozoic fossils during his studies
of the manganese deposits of the Appalachian Valley. Dr. Julia A.
Gardner and F. Stearns MacNeil were engaged on the eastern and
southern Coastal Plain faunas, while Drs. Ralph W. Stewart and W.
F. Woodring were concerned with the western Tertiary faunas. Dr.
T. Wayland Vaughan cared for the Cenozoic corals and advanced his
research work upon various groups.

In the division of vertebrate paleontology, C. W. Gilmore com-
pleted and submitted for publication two short manuscripts entitled,
“Osteology of Upper Cretaceous Lizards from Utah, with a Descrip-
tion of a New Species” and “Notes on Recently Mounted Reptile Skele-
tons in the United States National Museum.” A manuscript on
“Fossil Lizards of Mongolia” was finished and transmitted to the
American Museum of Natural History for publication. A paper en-
titled “On the Osteology of Testudo laticunea Cope from the Oligocene
of Wyoming” was nearing completion.

Associate Curator C. L. Gazin prepared a manuscript descriptive of
a unique titanothere skull and jaws which were deposited in the
Museum by Prof. J. Magruder Sullivan, of Millsaps College. A sec-
ond manuscript describing Paleocene materials from the Almy forma-
tion of Wyoming was also completed and submitted to the Journal
of the Washington Academy of Sciences for publication. He also
began preparation of a paper on the recently mounted skeleton of
Tintatherium.

64 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

During the past year Dr. Stuart H. Perry, associate in mineralogy,
recalled his manuscript on “The Metallography of Meteoritic Iron,”
for revision but has now submitted it again to the Museum for publi-
cation.

Dr. Foshag spent much of the time he was in Washington in con-
ferences and on study of strategic minerals. In September 1941 he
completed and submitted to the Office for Production Management a
report on the tin mines of Mexico. He also forwarded his mineralogi-
cal studies of the California saline minerals. In February he left
Washington for an assignment in Mexico for the rest of the year.

Associate Curator E, P. Henderson reports progress on his investi-
gation of meteorites, completing several analyses, and keeping the
reference index of falls and finds up to date.

Alfonso Segura Paguaga, of the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica,

commenced a year of study in the Museum on October 18, 1941. Mu-
seum methods and preparation of vertebrate fossils occupied him in
the office, and early in June he left with Mr. Gilmore for practical
field experience in Wyoming.

In the entire department, 367 lots of material were received officially
for identification and report, some of these amounting to numerous
specimens in one lot. These were distributed to the divisions as fol-
lows: General geology, 136; mineralogy and petrology, 178; inverte-
brate paleontology, 29; vertebrate paleontology, 24. Requests for in-
formation coming through official channels number 485, likewise dis-
tributed as follows: General geology, 197; mineralogy and petrology,
219; invertebrate paleontology, 15; vertebrate paleontology, 54. In all
the divisions direct reports are made on specimens brought in and in-
formation given to individuals requesting it at any time, so that often
this amounts to considerable research and time consumed.

Most of the requests for information and for examination of mate-
rial in the division of mineralogy and petrology for the year have been
made by the many different agencies of the national defense. Here,
materials for research purposes were furnished the U. 8. Army, U.S.
Navy, War Production Board, Bureau of Standards, Bureau of Mines,
Bureau of Soils. Fertilizer Investigator at Beltsville, U. S. Geological
Survey, and the Geophysical Laboratory. Close to 200 separate re-
quests for examination of specimens or information by individuals who
called in person were cared for in the office. A large portion of these
was for the examination of gems, and many were for commercial
dealers seeking assistance in the identification of their material. By
actual average count over several months, 19 letters a week were
in answer to inquiries requiring direct replies.

In invertebrate paleontology, the United States Geological Survey
and National Park Service were assisted as usual by the several paleon-

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY 65

tologists. Toward the close of the year Dr. Cooper completed a report
on a series of difficult fossils submitted by the Chilean Bureau of
Mines and Petroleum.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

The distribution of geological specimens was as follows: Gifts, 854
specimens; exchanges, 420 specimens; loans for study, 1,108 specimens;
and transfers, 75 specimens.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIES

(CARL W. MiITMAN, Head Curator)

Mrasurep by pre-war standards the department of engineering and
industries had a moderately successful year. New accessions, numeri-
cally, were smaller, and there was a lessening of the prescribed activi-
ties looking toward the betterment of the collections. This was due
largely to the diversion of the staff’s attention to the protection and
preservation of the irreplaceable collections under war conditions; to
organization work for all possible cooperation in the defense and war
efforts; and to preparation for air-raid warden duties within the In-
stitution. The department was further handicapped by the loss of the
services for the greater part of the year of four members of the staff,
one through detail to the Navy Department, one inducted into the
Army, and two through prolonged illnesses.

Karly in December, at the request of the Navy Department, Paul E.
Garber, associate curator, division of engineering, was detailed to that
department to assist the Special Devices Section, Bureau of Aeronau-
tics, in the procurement of urgently needed aviation training material.
Early in the next fiscal year Mr. Garber enters furlough status to con-
tinue this work as a commissioned officer in the Navy with the rank of
lieutenant, senior grade.

The head curator devoted much time and effort, aside from his
regular duties, to two important activities delegated to him by the
Secretary. In October 1941 he was designated to survey and prepare
definite plans for the protection of the large volume of scientific and
historical materials contained in the several buildings of the Institu-
tion and Museum and to serve as the Smithsonian representative in all
pertinent Federal activities concerned with this work. In the suc-
ceeding five months plans were developed and put into operation for
(1) the protection of materials in place; (2) the selection, segregation,
and packing of materials for evacuation; and (8) the protection of
buildings against air attack. At the same time, as group warden, Mr.
Mitman organized and directed the training and equipping of the en-
tire personnel of the Institution for air-raid defense duties.

On April 1 Mr. Mitman was relieved of group-warden duties in order
to assume the chairmanship of a committee appointed by the Secretary
to receive suggestions and to consider and recommend courses to pro-
mote the usefulness of the Smithsonian Institution in winning the

66

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIES 67

war. The Smithsonian War Committee held its first meeting on April
3 and met at least once a week thereafter with good results, the details
of which are recorded in the Report of the Secretary. This work is
still in progress and will be continued under Mr. Mitman’s chairman-
ship for the duration of the war.

ACCESSIONS

Accessions for the year aggregated 182, totaling 2,415 specimens, a
decrease of 9 accessions and 273 specimens compared with the previous
year. These accessions were distributed as follow: Engineering, 40
(587 specimens) ; crafts and industries, 76 (1,867 specimens) ; graphic
arts, 66 (461 specimens). Some of the more noteworthy materials
are listed under the several divisions as follows:

Engineering.—Scale models of historic aircraft formed the largest
group of important objects received. Thompson Products, Inc., Cleve-
land, generously gave a collection of models of 10 winners of the
Thompson Trophy air races; 11 prints of paintings of the winning
planes in the air, by Charles Hubbell; and a full-sized reproduction of
the trophy. The Thompson Trophy races have been the featured men’s
free-for-all speed contests of the National Air races for many years.
The models represent the Travelair, 1929; Laird, 1930; Gee Bee Super
Sportster, 1931; Gee Bee, 1932; Wedell-Williams, 1933; Wedell-Wil-
liams Special, 19384; Howard J/ister Mulligan, 1935; Caudron, 1936;
Folkerts Speed King, 1937; and Turner-Laird Special, 1938-39.
Among the names of winning pilots famous in the story of aviation
who flew these planes are Doug Davis, James Doolittle, James Wedell,
and Roscoe Turner. Vought-Sikorsky Aircraft, Stratford, Conn.,
through Igor I. Sikorsky, presented a model of Sikorsky’s 4-motor bi-
plane, Grand, of 1918. The Grand, built in Russia, is called the first
successful 4-motor airplane. Among its numerous records is one made
August 2, 1914, when it stayed in the air 1 hour 54 minutes with eight
passengers aboard. Mr. Sikorsky also contributed original photo-
graphs of his helicopter VS-300. Fred E. Weick presented a model of
the Weick W-1A airplane, and the Engineering & Research Corpora-
tion, Riverdale, Md., presented one of the Ercoupe. The former is a
miniature of the experimental airplane designed and built privately by
a group of engineers of the National Advisory Committee for Aero-
nautics Laboratories to be a plane simple to fly and free from the dan-
gers of stalling and spinning. It is believed to have started the present
trend toward tricycle landing gears for airplanes. A second aircraft
trophy received is the original Curtiss Marine Flying Trophy, lent by
the National Aeronautic Association. This is the famous old seaplane
trophy that was competed for under conditions designed to test the
“seaworthiness” of seaplanes by requiring a number of landings and

68 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

take-offs during the race. It is credited with having promoted the
rapid development of able seaplanes.

The Allison Division, General Motors Corporation, Indianapolis,
presented a show example of the Allison liquid-cooled internal com-
bustion engine, type V—1710-C, for addition to the division’s extensive
series of aircraft engines. This engine, which represents one of indus-
try’s great contributions to the present war effort, proved a timely and
popular item in a special war exhibit of photographs of British air-
craft, some of which are powered by Allison engines, in action in
Europe and Libya. This exhibit, secured by the Smithsonian War
Committee, was received as a loan for the months of May and June
1942 from the British Information Services, New York. An out-
standing addition to the division’s large propeller collection is a Bas-
tow aluminum propeller presented by Stuart Bastow. As far as an
exhaustive research conducted by the Patent Section, United States
Department of Justice, revealed, this is the first aluminum propeller
made and used in the United States. Mr. Bastow very kindly per-
mitted the propeller to be added to the Museum’s collection upon the
conclusion of litigation in which it was exhibited by the Government.

In the section of land transportation, the most timely accession was
a l4-ton, 4 x 4, reconnaissance and command automobile, or “Jeep,”
lent by the War Department and exhibited with a pictorial display of
“Auto workers and makers in defense” prepared and presented by the
Automobile Manufacturers Association. A transparent, plastic body,
1939 Pontiac automobile lent by the Fisher Body Division, General
Motors Corporation, fills the division’s need for a late-model car in
the collection. It is a car prepared for the New York World’s Fair
in 1989 and has particular value in that it reveals the engine, chassis
arrangement, and construction of the body while preserving the body
style. The single railroad relic received is the very interesting in-
ventor’s demonstrating model of the Leslie rotary snow plow of about
1885-86. This is the design immediately preceding the simpler plow
made by the Leslie Brothers a year or two later and tried successfully
on the Union Pacific Railroad. The model was presented by S. Inglis
Leslie.

Watercraft models received include a well-executed scale model of
the New York Harbor diesel-engine tugboat Thomas EF’. Moran, pre-
sented by the Moran Towing & Transportation Co. Capt. James K.
Spicer gave six original builder’s half or block models of vessels de-
signed and built by his father, Joseph T. Spicer, in the period between
1865 and 1903. ‘Three of these have been identified as the log canoe or
brogan Oyster Creek, the schooner Travers Spicer, built before 1870;
and the skipjack Lillie G. Spicer, 1903. Original models of Chesa-
peake Bay types of sailing vessels are rare, and none of these three
types was represented by builder’s models in the collection.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIES 69

One of the historically important steps in American industrial prog-
ress was the discovery by Frederick W. Taylor and Maunsel White in
1899-1900 of the proper heat-treating process required to produce
high-speed tool steel. Their work is represented now in the Museum
by an attractive memorial exhibit prepared and presented by the Beth-
lehem Steel Co. It includes a model of the rough laboratory at Bethle-
hem, Pa., where the investigations were made; a model of the standard
lathe with which cutting tests were made of the tools as Taylor and
White produced them; original tools; tools of various earlier and con-
temporary steels, together with tabulations of comparative cutting
tests made with them; and miscellaneous biographical material. Other
accessions of note include a model of the spiral coal separator invented
by the donor, Frank Pardee; a quantity of Pyrex and Vicor brands of
glass in the form of housewares, laboratory and industrial glass, and
Christmas tree ornaments, presented by the Corning Glass Works; and
a group of transparent display photographs of operations in the pro-
duction of zinc from the ore, donated by the New Jersey Zinc Co.

With the consent of interested parties, the material contained in
boxes deposited in the care of the Smithsonian Institution by Alex-
ander Graham Bell in 1880 and 1881 was transferred to the division
of engineering. Included are several photophone transmitters,
selenium cell elements of receivers, an electrotype phonogram or
record, and a graphophone equipped with a reproducing element
designed to reproduce sound through the medium of a jet of air with-
out mechanical contact with the record. Notes, drawings, and labora-
tory notebooks, describing the experiments made with this material by
Chichester A. Bell and Sumner Tainter, are included.

The important work of Franz X. Wagner and John T. Underwood
in designing and introducing the visible-writing typewriter of the
present form is now represented in the collections for the first time by
machines presented to the Museum by the Underwood-Elliott Fisher
Co. One of these is of the first model of the “Underwood” manu-
factured by the Wagner Typewriter Co., in 1897. A single-key action
made up of original parts illustrates the simple and successful action
designed by Wagner.

Crafts and industries —Of the 1,367 specimens cataloged in the divi-
sion, 102 related to textiles; 848 to woods and wood technology; 208
to chemical industries; 28 to agricultural industries, and 181 to medi-
cine and public health. Noteworthy of mention among these are the
following:

An original A-model Northrop loom presented by the Draper Cor-
poration. ‘The invention and introduction of this strictly American
product in 1895 revolutionized the manufacture of cotton goods, par-
ticularly in the southern mills, and reduced by at least 25 percent the
entire labor cost in a mill. This particular loom is one of an order

70 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

built in 1895 for the Gaffney Manufacturing Co., which during the
many years of its use in a mill in South Carolina had been changed
by the addition of later improvements. All these later additions, how-
ever, were removed and exact duplicates of the original parts installed
in their places, so that the loom is now exactly the same as an original
A-model Northrop loom. It has been equipped with cotton warp and
operated a sufficient length of time to start the cloth around the cloth
roll. Two cloth-cutting machines and a hook-and-eye machine were
contributed to the Museum’s collection of implements connected with
the garment industry. The electrically driven machines used for
cutting simultaneously many plies of cloth, one using a rotary knife and
the other a reciprocating straight knife, were received from the Wolf
Machine Co., while from Miss Caroline Marine Ford was received
the original hook-and-eye machine patented by her father, Jeremiah
T. Ford, on March 7, 1871. This machine automatically shapes wire,
fed from two reels, into the form of hooks and eyes.

The Cotton-Textile Institute contributed, as in former years, speci-
mens of cotton fabrics selected by a committee of experts as the most
representative materials for the fall and winter seasons of 1941-42,
and for the spring and summer seasons of 1942. Fabrics of silk and
rayon manufactured particularly to meet wartime needs were pre-
sented by William Skinner & Sons. These include viscose rayon satins
for the tunic and overcoat linings of army uniforms; a heavy rayon,
twilled-face, cotton-back special fabric used as uniform material for
the First Parachute Division of the United States Army; and two
types of all silk parachute fabrics, one the escape parachute cloth or
canopy cloth, the other a thin, light-weight fabric for flare parachutes.
Interesting accessions enhancing the collection of old time needlework
and textile handicrafts included hand-embroidered infant’s garments,
an embroidered crepe shawl, and a cotton patchwork quilt from the
estate of Mary E. McCrea, through David T. McCrea. From Miss
Mary E. Dean came a hand-embroidered infant’s dress and specimens
of figured silk fabrics of foreign manufacture. Mrs. Myrtle Mallette
presented a fine cotton quilt appliqued in “Whig Rose” pattern and
quilted in “Princess Feather” and diagonal lines with the appliqued
work outlined in quilting, which shows effectively on the plain reverse
side. From Miss Daisy Joseph there came a century-old appliqued
cotton “political” quilt top, commemorating the William Henry Har-
rison presidential campaign of 1840 (Tippecanoe and Tyler Too) and
showing the “Log Cabin” and “Cider Barrel” designs as the central
motif.

The division received for its agricultural industries section, by
transfer from the United States Department of Agriculture, 11 old
»lows that had been collected by the department and exhibited at

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIES 71

the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Most of these
old implements have authentic data as to origin, ownership, and use,
having been presented to the Government by direct descendants of
the original owners. Six of them were made before 1825. The
N. Auth Provision Co. gave to the Museum a set of nickel-plated
butcher’s tools, originally presented in 1872 to a Washington butcher,
William Henry Harrison Hoover, by his post of the Grand Army of
the Republic as a tribute to his ability and popularity.

The most important addition to the collection of authentic woods
was a set of 787 wood specimens collected with herbarium material
by or under the direction of B. A. Krukoff in Brazilian Amazonia
during 1931-33 and received as an exchange from the New York
State College of Forestry. This set of specimens supplements the
woods collected by Mr. Krukoff during 1934-85 in another locality of
the same region, which the National Museum purchased in 1937.
Joseph L. Stearns contributed 49 specimens of woods, accompanied
by herbarium material, which he collected mostly in the southeastern
United States. The set includes a specimen of Lettnerta floridana,
the lightest wood found in the United States. A specimen of Ma-
layan elder from Saigon, French Indo-China, believed to be the light-
est wood known, and used to make the pith helmets so necessary in
tropical countries, was contributed by the George D. Emery Co.

Two important educational exhibits were received by the section
of chemical industries. One, entitled “The Manufacture and Uses of
Industrial Alcohol,” was prepared by U. S. Industrial Chemicals,
Inc. and shows, through the media of dioramas, (1) the source of the
raw material, byproduct molasses from cane-sugar manufacture; (2)
the fermentation room of an alcohol plant; and (3) the tall frac-
tionating columns used in the distillation process. Various uses of the
products are shown by colored photographs. This exhibit brings out
the relation between the production of alcohol, now needed in large
quantities for the manufacture of smokeless powder, and the sugar
industry. The second exhibit relates to the plastics industry. Col-
ored transparencies showing sources of the raw materials as well as
process operations, such as injection and compression molding, coat-
ing, etc., and specimens of the intermediate and finished products are
used, with flow sheets, to illustrate the manufacture of plastic prod-
ucts from phenolic, urea, polystyrene, alkyd, and vinyl synthetic
resins and also from cellulose acetate. There is also included an as-
sortment of articles showing various applications of the plastics to
use. The exhibit was designed by the Bakelite Corporation to show
both its own products and those of the Carbide and Carbon Chemi-
cals Corporation. These organizations are units of the Union Car-
bide and Carbon Corporation. Several specimens indicative of the

12 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

importance of rubber and plastics to the war effort were received dur-
ing the year. Outstanding examples are a bullet-sealing fuel tank
for military airplanes, from the B. F. Goodrich Co.; one each of the
regulation army service and army training gas masks, from the Fire-
stone Tire & Rubber Co.; a nose section for the Hudson bomber,
made of transparent acrylic resin, from Rohm & Haas Co.; and a large
collection of miscellaneous articles from Modern Plastics Magazine,
through Charles A. Breskin, publisher, illustrating plastics used in
war equipment and to replace scarce metals. The United States
Rubber Co. presented the last white-sidewall automobile tire made
by this company before the order of the Priorities Division, Office
of Production Management, prohibiting further manufacture of this
type of tire, went into effect at midnight, August 23, 1941.

The most valuable object added to the medical exhibits was the first
Emerson iron lung, completed in 1931, and used for several years to
produce artificial respiration. This respirator was presented by John
Haven Emerson. Dr. Emil H. Grubbe contributed five early X-ray
tubes that he and others invented; also original letters pertaining to
the early use of X-rays for the treatment of disease. Other accessions
of note were: Two old medical X-ray tubes and one “Rachel’s Red
String,” donated by Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Saffir; four ancient Egyptian
medicine bottles and a so-called “Boyd’s Battery,” received as gifts
from Milo Elson Emmerson; and a bronze statuette of Dr. A. T.
Still, the founder of csteopathy, presented by Ray P. Gardner.

Three valuable and timely exhibits were added to the section of
pharmacy. ‘The first was presented by Eli Lilly & Co. and shows how
pills and tablets are coated to resist stomach action and to release
their medical contents in the intestines. The second exhibit was do-
nated by the Winthrop Chemical Co. It illustrates in a popular man-
ner the sources and functions of the more important vitamins. The
third, consisting of atom models presented by the Fisher Scientific Co.
and medicines donated by the Ciba Pharmaceutical Products, Inc., is
entitled “The Family Tree of the Sulfa Drugs.” Milo Elson Emmer-
son contributed a blue glass bottle of early American manufacture, and
Parke, Davis & Co. presented a photograph of a section of its
pharmaceutical laboratory.

The Philadelphia Child Health Society donated food value charts,
while the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., the American Social
Hygiene Association, and the Society for Visual Education con-
tributed educational films for use in the automatic delineascope of the
section of public health.

Crude drugs and pharmaceutical preparations for the section of
materia medica were presented by Parke, Davis & Co., Dodge & Olcott
Co., S. B. Penick & Co., and Allaire, Woodward & Co.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIES 13

Graphic arts—Of the 66 accessions received and cataloged, 3814
(366 specimens) were assigned to graphic arts and 2714 (95 specimens)
to photography.

The most noteworthy accession in graphic arts was the gift of 183
Currier and Ives prints previously lent to the division by Miss Adele
S. Colgate. This accession was reported and described briefly in the
report for 1941. In addition Miss Colgate presented an additional
Jarge folio Currier and Ives print of the running horse “Highlander”
and two drawings by Louis Maurer, a Currier and Ives artist.
Examples of two methods of making pictures, hitherto not represented
in the collections, were received from two sources. One method con-
sists in dropping selected colors of oil paint upon a surface of water,
manipulating the colors, and then laying a sheet of paper upon the
floating oil paint and transferring the colors from the water surface
to the paper. Remarkable results, with no two prints alike, are ob-
tained. This was the work of Wilson Irvine, A. N. A. (1868-1936),
the examples being presented by Jan and Ted Irvine through Winfield
Scott Clime. The second method is similar in some respects and con-
sists in “spreading a thin film of the desired colors in oil evenly over
the surface of water in a suitable container, and when so spread out,
skimming the film off with a card. Various manipulations of the card
will bring various resulis, as will the uses of various pigments, oils,
and solvents.” Eleven specimens made in this manner were presented
by the maker, Henry W. Bagley, Stockton, Calif.

For a number of years the division has had on display a comprehen-
sive exhibit showing the steps in the printing of a newspaper. The
material for this exhibit was largely donated by the Washington
Evening Star Newspaper Co. With the cooperation of this organiza-
tion the exhibit was entirely renovated by the substitution of 23 new
specimens to replace the obsolete ones. Two old hornbooks were added
to the smali collection of seven specimens previously held in the di-
vision. These were lent by Dr. Riley D. Moore. An early style of
mechanical pencil with disappearing leads, period of 1850-60, was ac-
cessioned during the year, as a gift of Miss Bertha Chinn. A large
number of prints were added to the division’s extensive collection.
These included 62 intagho prints, drypoints by various well-known
artists, and the entire series of 54 etchings of the construction and
completion of the New York World’s Fair, 1939-40, received from the
official etcher, Gordon W. Gilkey.

The accessions received by the section of photography were largely
gifts of equipment that, when added to the existing collection, provide
further details of the visual record of the developments in photography.
For example, Mrs. W. C. Welden presented a “Zoetrope” or “Wheel of
Life” and 382 colored strips of pictures used with this instrument.

74 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

The Zoetrope was patented by Milton Bradley in 1867 and consists of
a wheel mounted on a vertical axis with vertical slits cut a uniform
distance apart around the rim. <A colored strip made up of a series of
figures each of which shows an advance of action over the preceding
one is mounted vertically near the periphery but within the wheel and
close to the vertical slits in the rim. When the wheel is spun about its
axis the observer with his eyes fixed on the rim sees pictures that seem
alive and in motion. The Zoetrope is an important forerunner of
modern motion pictures. Lincoln C. Bogue contributed an early
kerosene-lamp magic lantern and 21 colored lantern slides} Miss Helen
A. Olmsted and John U. Perkins, both of the Museum staff, presented
a Poco-C 4 x 5 plate and roll film camera of 1901 and a Pathex 9.5 mm.
motion-picture camera of 1921, respectively; and the Brenner Photo
Co., Washington, D. C., donated a No. 4 cartridge Kodak Model B4 x5
of 1898 as well as a No. 1A Folding Pocket Kodak, model D of 1908.
The revived vogue of an old method invented in 1854 of making per-
manent porcelain or enamel photographs is now represented in the col-
lections by the gift of Harry B. Light of five photographs, some
burned in tile and some on enamel.

INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

For approximately half of the year the work of the department con-
sisted largely in carrying forward the long-range plans for the better
preservation and accessibility of the study collections, the maintenance
and improvement of the exhibition series, and the handling of new
material. The entire aeronautical collection was reinstalled under a
new and greatly improved exhibition plan following the complete
repair and renovation of the aircraft building. Again, with the recent
changeover of electrical service from D, C. to A. C. and the consequent
elimination of the danger of overloaded lines, it became possible prop-
erly to illuminate and make great improvements in a number of impor-
tant exhibits in several sections of the department. The changeover,
too, enabled the department to design more satisfactorily illuminated
exhibits, three of which were installed during the forepart of the year.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war, how-
ever, the work of the department changed materially. Tentative plans
previously prepared for the protection of the collections under war
conditions were put into effect. Collections stored in tower rooms of
the building and subject to incendiary bomb fires were removed to
basement and other safer areas. Heavy objects, such as the 60-foot
Indian war canoe, suspended from roof girders in the exhibition halls
were taken down. Specimens selected for evacuation were segregated,
listed, and packed in strong wooden boxes and assembled for removal.
Because of limited storage space for these boxes, both empty and

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIES 75

packed, portions of the exhibition floors were taken over and converted
into storage rooms. By the close of the year about 75 percent of the
selected materials, assembled in about 70 boxes and crates, had been
packed or made ready for early removal. The conduct of the staff of
the department in this emergency is most commendable. Reduced 25
percent in numbers almost from the start by military furloughs and
illnesses, they nevertheless proceeded with the emergency tasks; main-
tained the collections remaining; installed new collections; designed,
procured, and arranged special war exhibits; and, out of office hours,
prepared and trained for their assigned air-raid defense duties. The
head curator is pleased to record this evidence of the staff’s loyalty and
deep feeling of responsibility for the portions of the national collec-
tions committed to their charge.

In addition to the war exhibits mentioned above, the following
monthly shows were held:

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

The staff is engaged constantly in study and investigations in the
wide fields of engineering and industrial history, so that the collec-
tions may be thoroughly and accurately developed and that the many
specific requests for information may be adequately answered. For
example, Paul E. Garber, associate curator of engineering, systemati-
cally read and collected descriptions and plans of the military air-
craft employed in the war. This should prove useful in developing
the collections and placing the war developments in aircraft in their
proper historical perspective when the conflict ends. Dr. F. L. Lew-
ton, curator of crafts and industries, continued his studies of the me-
chanical development of the sewing machine and of the work of
Samuel Slater, “Father of American Manufactures.” ©

Assistance rendered to Federal agencies and private individuals has
never been greater or more varied than this year. The laboratory of
the division of engineering and the assistance of the aide and prepara-
tor were put at the disposal of the Special Devices Section, Bureau of
Aeronautics, Navy Department, for the construction of meteorological
teaching aids. Identification of woods was made for many war agen-
cies, including War Producticn Board; Board of Economic Warfare;
Bureau of Ships; Quartermaster General, U. S. Army; Bureau of
Customs, Treasury; Soil Conservation, Agriculture. These and other
agencies were also aided by supplying information to specific ques-
tions; by lending material for study; and by instructing agents. For
example, the War Production Board desired data on raw silk, vanilla,
spices, cork, and rattan; construction and operation of certain textile
machinery ; specimens of California redwood bark for study; and in-
struction service on abrasives. ‘The Quartermaster General was ad-
vised on materials for skiis and was furnished samples of Australian
woods for study. The Federal Bureau of Investigation desired pic-
tures of a Japanese typewriter, and the Coordinator of Information
desired the names of early English and American machine tool inven-
tors for use in a war-production motion-picture film. From private
manufacturing organizations came many requests for aid such as in-
formation on resin-bonded plywood; substitutes for balsa wood and
sources of rattan in the Western Hemisphere. There were received in
addition hundreds of requests from visitors as well as correspondents
for identifications ranging from buttons, dress fastenings, and patri-
otic handkerchiefs to thermo-syphon cooling systems for internal com-
bustion engines.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIES lia

Frank A. Taylor, curator of engineering, visited the plant of the
Underwood-Elliott Fisher Co., Hartford, Conn., to examine material
offered to the Museum and to study that company’s laboratories and
museum. He also inspected the historical industrial collections of
both the American Steel & Wire Co. and the Worcester Pressed Steel
Co. in Worcester, Mass. Paul E. Garber, associate curator in engi-
neering, visited the Fisher Body Division, General Motors Corpora-
tion, Detroit, Mich., to examine the plastic body automobile offered
to the Museum, and Dr. Wallace E. Duncan, assistant curator in crafts
and industries, visited the plant of the U. S. Industrial Alcohol Co.,
Baltimore, Md., in connection with the educational exhibit being
prepared for the Museum by that organization.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS

Material distributed from the department included specimens,
photographs, and prints totaling over 3,500items. These distributions
included an exchange with a school of forestry of 731 wood specimens;
the transfer of 67 specimens to other Government bureaus; loans of
493 items to educational institutions for exhibitions, demonstrations
and experimental purposes; and a series of over 2,000 specimens relat-
ing to the graphic arts arranged in 7 traveling exhibition sets and
shown continuously over a nation-wide circuit. During the year, too,
525 copies of drawings and photographs of the Historic American
Merchant Marine Survey, preserved in the division of engineering,
were made and distributed to private purchasers.

DIVISION OF HISTORY

(THEODORE T. BELOTE, Curator)

THE work of the division of history during the past year included
preparations for alr-raid emergencies and cooperation with the War
Department in connection with special exhibits of war materials in
the Nationai Museum and elsewhere, in addition to its usual duties.
Two exhibits of civil histcricai materials were installed by members
of the staff in the foyer of the Natural History Building, one in
cooperation with the division of ethnology and the other with the
National Collection of Fine Aris of the Smithsonian Institution.

Fred Kaske, scientific aide, long in our service, retired in May at his
own request.

ACCESSIONS

The total number of specimens received was 1,549 including various
objects of much importance. These were contained in 39 separate
accessions.

The art material includes a water-color sketch, painted in 1918, by
Georges Scott, emblematic of the cordial relations existing between
France and the United States, which was presented to the Museum
by Miss Alice Hastman.

The military material was increased by the addition of two swords
owned during the Civil War by Assistant Adjutant General Septimus
Carncross, U. 8. Volunteers, presented by Mrs. Maude C. George and
Miss Florence Carncross.

For the numismatic collection the Treasury Department forwarded
a number of California gold tokens, coins, and examples of the bronze,
nickel, and silver coins struck at the Denver, Philadelphia, and San
Francisco mints in 1941. The American Numismatic Association de-
posited 108 recent foreign coins as an addition to the Moritz Wormser
Memorial Loan Collection.

The philatelic material was increased by 1,801 specimens, which were
transferred from the Post Office Department. Among these are a num-
ber of stamps for countries now cccupied by Germany, including Ger-
man stamps overprinted “Luxemburg” for that country, and German
issue stamps for Poland. Stamps issued by the Polish Republic from
its temporary headquarters in London also were received. Stamps
from Italy include one bearing portraits of Hitler and Mussolini.
Other interesting items are stamps overprinted “M. E. F.” (Middle
Kast Force) by Great Britain for use in territory in Africa until re-
cently dominated by Italy and now under British authority.

DIVISION OF HISTORY 719
INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS

As in other departments of the Museum, the division of history
packed for evacuation various of its more important treasures. A con-
siderable quantity of the study materials in the laboratory rooms on
the second and third floors of the Arts and Industries Building was
removed to the ground floor of that building.

Among the special matters in the field of installation the two tem-
porary exhibitions already mentioned held in the foyer of the Natural
History Building should be described in more detail. The first of
these was installed in October 1941 in two alcoves as a part of a general
exhibit relating to the period of the early development of the United
States. This division’s part of the exhibit included a taffeta dress
made about 1750, a brocade dress of about 1784, a muslin dress of about
1812, a silk dress from about 1830, a taffeta dress of 1835, and a taffeta
dress made about 1840. On the wails were shown six prints from origi-
nal paintings by J. L. Gerome Ferris of costumes and vehicles of the
eighteenth century, including “The First Sermon at Plymouth,” 1621,
“Benjamin Franklin’s Bookshop,” 1745, “The Bell’s First Note,” 1753,
“The Christmas Coach,” 1792, “Washington at Christ’s Church,” 1795,
“Summer Days at Mount Vernon,” “Christmas Eve at Mount Vernon,”
1798, “Stuart Painting Washington’s Portrait,” and “Independence
Square,” 1796.

A second alcove devoted to men’s costumes displayed three suits
of the eighteenth century, four coats of the eighteenth century, a
mohair overcoat of the early nineteenth century, two pairs of breeches
of the late eighteenth century, and a white satin waistcoat of the late
eighteenth century. On the walls of this alcove were shown a series
of prints from original paintings by W. L. Taylor depicting costumes
and vehicles of the nineteenth century.

In December 1941 a second temporary exhibit was prepared in the
same location in connection with the celebration of the Sesquicenten-
nial Anniversary of the Bill of Rights. This special exhibit included
facsimiles of the Bill of Rights as approved by the Congress of the
United States on September 25, 1789, the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and the Constitution of the United States, together with a
printed copy of the “Four Freedoms” mentioned by President Roose-
velt in his message to Congress on January 6, 1941. Pictures shown
included portraits of four American statesmen closely associated
with the early history of the Bill of Rights, George Mason, James
Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington; portraits of
the Presidents of the United States from 1791 to 1941, and paintings
indicating some of the changes in the design of the United States
flag during this same period. With these there were placed several
costumes of the types worn by American men and women about the

80 REPORT OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1942

time of the adoption of the Bill of Rights, four rifles of the styles
used by the armed militia of the United States from 1776 to 1926, and
an American printing press of 1822, which was represented as the
greatest single force in connection with the adoption, preservation,
interpretation, and enforcement of the Bill of Rights.

Much time was devoted during the past year to the rearrangement
of the naval collections installed in the northwest court. Renovation
of the wall cases on the north side of this court was completed, and
a screen for the installation of paintings representing naval scenes
was erected above the cases. A number of large historical military
and naval flags were installed with a series of ship models represent-
ing United States naval vessels that figured prominently in our his-
tory from the time of the Revolution to the present day.

The historical storage collections on the north balcony were re-
moved from the second and third floors in order to eliminate fire
hazard in these rooms. Materials were examined critically during
this process and work on them continues to place them in better
condition as regards arrangement. It was also necessary to remove
storage materials from the rooms on the second and third floors of
the north and west towers as well as trom two long inner galleries
of the north balcony. For these collections space was taken on the
east and west sides of the arms court. |

In the philatelic collections a frame with the title “War and Phi-
lately” proved an interesting exhibit for a series of postmarks of
Army post offices and defense bases, war slogan cancellations, and
other similar materials. Progress was made in routine cataloging
in the collections of stamps and postal stationery.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH

Much research work was accomplished during the year by the curator
in the field of historical museum technique. He made large additions
also to the notes in the files of the division on the subjects of coins,
medals, and flags. Data now assembled will serve as a system for his-
torical museum classification when it is finally ready for publication.

The assistant curator, Charles Carey, assembled much information
concerning arms and projectiles. The philatelist, Mrs. C. L. Manning,
made progress in the classification of the Michel philatelic collection.

The curator was consulted by the Treasury Department in connec-
tion with numismatic matters. The assistant curator assisted the
Ordnance Bureau of the War Department in the display for civil
employees of that Bureau of various types of projectiles. He also co-
operated with the War Department in the preparation of a series of
traveling military exhibits to be sent by that Department to various
parts of the United States. The philatelist aided the staff of the Pan

preparation of a “Who’s Who on the Postage Stamps of Latin

America.”
