FORTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT 


To the Trustees and Members of The American Museum of 
Natural History, and to the Municipal Authorities of the 
City of New York: 


The President has the honor to submit his eleventh Annual 
Report, the forty-ninth in the history of the Museum, in what 
he trusts will prove to be a new and more interesting form. It 
is important to emphasize the fact that the Museum is pri- 
marily an educational institution, local and national, and that 
all exhibition, study, research and exploration, as well as the 
accumulation of specimens and collections and of books in our 
library, are contributory to this chief end—the diffusion of 
light and learning for the advancement of true civilization. 

The plan set forth last year, that the fiftieth anniversary of 
the foundation of the Museum, April 6, 1919, should be cele- 
brated by the opening of two new buildings, the Court of 
Ocean Life and the Southeast Wing, facing Central Park, is 
deferred because of the new conditions of economy and of 
national service created by the war for liberty. 

In view of the stringency of the city’s finances, several Trus- 
tees and other friends of the Museum* had offered to contribute 
$618,008 for these new buildings; in fact, the building plan 
was announced (November 5, 1916), but on the declaration of 
war with Germany (April 6, 1917), it was deemed wise to post- 
pone building until the conclusion of the war. 

With the same patriotic purpose, the scientific staff of the 
Museum voted (February 19, 1917) to suspend all the 
explorations planned for the year and to organize the 
Museum immediately for national service. The entire scientific

and administrative staffs, from the President down, at once 
enrolled and offered such service in expert advice, in scientific 
research and publication, and in personal enlistment as might 
forward the great cause. The activities of the year have thus 
been greatly modified: funds appropriated for exploration have 
been only partly used; research and publication have been in- 
creased on the part of the older men, and all the younger men 
have enlisted in some branch of national service, either in this 
country, in South and Central America, or in France. The 
best idea of the year’s activities may perhaps be gained by the

At the beginning of the year 1917, there was an estimated 
deficiency in the maintenance of the Museum of nearly $60,000, 
due to the insufficiency of the City’s appropriation. 

Additional This was met by the personal subscriptions of the 
Eade ent Trustees. To place the Museum on a secure finan- 
cial foundation, at least $1,000,000 additional en- 

dowment is needed for its annual operating and educational 


expenses. 


Patriotism and Education 19 


An appropriation by the City of not less than $15,000 
annually is also needed to cover the large and increasing 
cost of public school educational work by the 
Be Weck Museum. _ Between the years 1886 and 1904, 
sums varying from $18,000 to $38,000 were ap- 
propriated annually by the State for similar work by the 
Museum. The Museum is at present carrying on much 
of the natural history work with the public schools and 
libraries of Greater New York; it has in circulation 712 loan 
collections which were distributed among 446 schools and 
were studied during the year by 1,075,076 school children. In 
connection with our natural history lectures in the schools, 
63,111 lantern slides have been loaned to 84 schools, while 
79,323 public school children have attended 103 lectures given 
for them by members of the Museum staff. With the aid of 
the Thorne Fund, instruction for the blind has included 31 les- 
sons for blind children from the public schools. The Museum 
is prepared to provide the schools of New York from its un- 
equaled collections of photographs, taken by its explorers in all 
parts of the world, which now number 46,565 negatives and 
63,818 photographs. There is no large city in the world which 
offers such advantages to its school children in the study of 
the geography of land and sea, of insects, fishes, birds and 
mammals, and of all matters pertaining to public health. 


PATRIOTISM AND PUBLIC EDUCATION 


Two events of the year, wholly different in kind, have re- 
minded us of the close connection between American patriotism 
and public education. The first is the death of that staunch 
supporter and exponent of public education, Joseph Hodges 
Choate ; the second is the unprecedented action of Congress in 
putting a very heavy burden on education through taxing in- 
heritances and bequests for educational purposes. 


Our beloved and honored founder, Joseph Hodges Choate, 
bequeathed to us the inspiration of a life of intelligence, of 
fortitude and of patriotism, crowned by a final week of elo- 
quent and forceful enunciation of the principles that should 


20 Report of the President 


guide our country in this turning point in the world’s history.* 
In his distinguished service of forty-eight years to the Museum, 

from its foundation in 1869, Mr. Choate has 
noe a Pees left an enduring monument, through his sa- 

gacity as a lawyer, his persuasive power with 
the State and City authorities, his broad-minded view of the 
influence of the Museum in education, his belief in Sunday 
opening, his power as a writer, and as a speaker on all the 
historic occasions of the first half century of the Museum’s 
history. Intelligence, education, the diffusion of light and 
learning among the people, and confidence in the uplifting 
power of the teachings of nature were the guiding principles 
of Mr. Choate’s life as a Trustee of the Museum. From the 
period of his interview with William M. Tweed in Albany, in 
1869, which resulted in the incorporation of the Museum, to his 
masterful argument} of 1909 for freedom from political con- 
trol, we find him as one of the four guiding spirits of the 
institution, the others being Albert S. Bickmore, J. Pierpont 
Morgan, and, above all, Morris K. Jesup. 

Free public education has always been a distinctive feature 
of American civilization. The only education which is really 
free is that which comes from endowment and the voluntary 
contributions of citizens. All public education, so called, is by 
taxation of certain classes for the benefit of others. 

On September 8, 1916, the Congress of the United States 
passed a lawt taxing all bequests, legacies, devises and gifts 
for education, philanthropy and religion in equal 
measure with expenditures for industry and for 
luxury. This tax is without precedent in federal 
legislation, for a law imposing a similar tax during the Span- 
ish-American War was almost immediately amended to 
exempt such bequests and gifts. Moreover, thirty-eight of 
the leading States of the Union have exempted educa-

* Mr. Choate was chosen as the principal orator and spokesman of the United 
States and of the municipality at the various meetings and banquets with which 
the Commissioners of Great Britain and of France were received and welcomed by 
the municipality of New York, in May, ro17. A fuller notice of his great ser- 
vice to the Museum is presented in subsequent pages of this report and is em- 
bodied in the Memorial Volume written by the President and printed by order of 
the Trustees.

tion, philanthropy and religion, both from direct tax and from 
taxation on legacies, bequests and gifts. The existing federal 
tax law, to use the language of the President of one of our 
southern colleges, is a “staggering blow” aimed at the life of our 
educational institutions. The very first response in this country 
to the new world conditions created by the war came from the 
students and staffs of the great endowed institutions of educa- 
tion and science. Museums, universities, colleges, technological 
schools, technical schools, medical schools, training schools for 
nurses, and laboratories, all built up during the past two cen- 
turies by private bequests, legacies, devises and gifts, hastened 
to service in response to the call of President Wilson, giving 
the brains and energies of their best experts and offering the 
bodily service of their youth for actual warfare. It is no exag- 
geration to say that without this scientific knowledge and train- 
ing, the high expert knowledge of chemistry, physics, mechan- 
ics and technology which the men trained in these great endowed 
institutions have been able to offer the country, America would 
have no chance whatever of materially affecting the outcome 
of this war. This war is eighty-five per cent. science and fif- 
teen per cent. human courage and endurance. 

By action of the Trustees of the American Museum, at a 
special meeting held May 22, 1917, the President was author- 
ized to arrange for the Museum to join with other institutions 
in the formation of municipal and national committees, repre- 
sentative of educational, charitable and religious institutions, 
to urge upon Congress tax exemption of bequests and legacies 
for philanthropic purposes. President Henry Fairfield Osborn 
was elected Chairman, the Committee being organized as fol- 
lows: 


Jacob H. Schiff Hebrew Institutions 

Edward W. Sheldon Libraries 

R. Fulton Cutting Protestant Philanthropic Institutions 
Nicholas Murray Butler Columbia University 

Robert W. de Forest Metropolitan Museum of Art 
William W. Niles New York Zodlogical Society 
Cleveland H. Dodge Y. M. C. A. Institutions 

Morgan J. O’Brien Roman Catholic Institutions 

Lewis Cass Ledyard New York Public Library 

Felix M. Warburg Hebrew Institutions 


Henry Fairfield Osborn American Museum of Natural History 


22 Report of the President 


Through this Committee a General National Committee was 
organized representing endowed institutions in all parts of the 
United States, from Harvard University to the newest en- 
dowed colleges, together with religious and philanthropic 
institutions of all denominations, Hebrew, Roman Catholic and 
Protestant. With the concurrence of this General Committee, 
two measures were pressed upon Congress, as follows: 

Amendment proposed by 


SENATOR HENry L. Myers or Montana 
Exempting from Federal Taxation 


“All bequests, legacies, devises, or gifts to the United States, or to 
any State, or to any political division thereof, for exclusively public 
purposes, and all bequests, legacies, devises, or gifts for uses of a re- 
ligious, literary, charitable, or educational character, or for the encour- 
agement of art, or to societies for the prevention of cruelty to children.” 


Amendment by 
SENATOR Henry F. Hoiiis or NEw HAMPSHIRE 
Adopted October 3, 1917 
Exempting from Federal Taxation 


“Contributions or gifts actually made within the year to corporations 
or associations organized and operated exclusively for religious, chari- 
table, scientific, or educational purposes, or to societies for the preven- 
tion of cruelty to children or animals, no part of the net income of 
which inures to the benefit of any private stockholder or individual, to 
an amount not in excess of fifteen per centum of the taxpayer’s taxable 
net income.” 


The following is part of a Memorial sent to the Sixty-fifth 
Congress: 


As representatives of the free public educational and 
philanthropic institutions of the City of New York, which 
are in close touch with a population of 6,000,000, we re- 
gard a national inheritance tax which will in any way 
diminish the bequests and gifts to education, philanthropy 
and religion as a direct blow at one of the finest and 
strongest elements of American life—namely, education 
and public welfare through individual initiative, manage- 
ment and contribution. 

More than three-fourths ($3,742,647) of the income of 
the higher educational institutions of this City is derived 
from private benefactions, as against less than one-fourth 


The Hollis Amendment 23 


($1,076,795) derived from public taxation. To the annual 
income for higher education from bequests and gifts 
should be added the combined annual contributions to the 
educational museums and public libraries of New York, 
namely, $1,864,600. 

In the United States, for the entire field of college, uni- 
versity and technological education only, the annual in- 
come (1914-1915) from private benefactions is $36,842,- 
421, as compared with $38,061,768 from taxation (see 
Report of United States Commissioner of Education, 
1916). In other words, the income from private endow- 
ment is equal to the income from public taxation. We 
believe this is entirely without parallel in any country. 

Great individual contribution to education and philan- 
thropy is a peculiarly American custom, which will be 
fostered and encouraged by wise governmental taxation 
and retarded by unwise or hostile legislation. Whatever 
new burdens we have to carry in order to support this 
great struggle for humanity, liberty and justice, let these 
burdens fall as lightly as possible upon education, philan- 
thropy or religion, which are the mainsprings of our na- 
tional life. At best they will undoubtedly suffer from the 
burdens of necessary taxation, and that these burdens may 
not be carried to the point of the reduction or elimination 
of such gifts, we urge that the present law be amended to 
exempt stich bequests, legacies and gifts. 

In this connection we point out that American opinion 
as embodied in the enactments of thirty-five States is prac- 
tically unanimous in favor of such exemption. 


' The Hollis Amendment was especially supported by a Com- 
mittee representing Columbia University, headed by Professor 
Samuel McCune Lindsay. The Hollis Amendment was ap- 
proved by the Finance Committee of the United States Senate, 
and by the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Repre- 
sentatives, and was adopted by both Houses. Thus one very 
important result was secured, namely, that gifts for educational 
and philanthropic purposes to the extent of fifteen per cent. of 
income are exempt from taxation. It is extremely important

that the Myers Amendment, or a measure of equivalent pur- 
port, shall be adopted by the Sixty-sixth Congress.* 


WAR: SERVICE, OF STARE 


When war seemed imminent, the scientific staff of the Mu- 
seum organized for service, the older men for scientific work 
along various lines, the younger men for actual enlist- 
ment, the women for codperation with the Red Cross 
and Hospital Supply Service. 

The Museum has an honor roll of thirty-three employees in 
active service, including a number who have graduated from 
the Plattsburg camps. 

Mr. Henry P. Davison, the Treasurer of the Museum, was 
appointed Chairman of the Red Cross War Council by Presi- 
dent Wilson, and has rendered distinguished service to this 
country; Dr. Bashford Dean, Curator Emeritus of the Depart- 
ment of Ichthyology and Herpetology, was appointed Major in 
the Bureau of Ordnance, and his expert knowledge of armor is 
yielding important results; Dr. Frank M. Chapman, Curator of 
Ornithology, has left the Museum for the present, to 
serve as Director of the Bureau of Publications of the Ameri- 
can Red Cross; Dr. Henry E. Crampton, Curator of the De- 
partment of Invertebrate Zodlogy, served as organizer and 
later as Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Engineering and 
Education of the Advisory Commission of the Council of Na- 
tional Defense, since its formation thirteen months ago; Cura- 
tor Winslow was a member of the American Red Cross Mis- 
sion to Russia, of which Dr. Frank Billings was the Chairman; 
Captain Barrington Moore, Associate Curator of the Depart- 
ment of Woods and Forestry, went to France last June and is 
head of one of the forestry divisions of the American ‘ser- 
vice in France; Dr. Thomas G. Hull, of the Department of Pub- 
lic Health, has been called to Washington as Chief of the Divi- 
sion of Exhibits of the United States Food Administration.

* “The strongest possible pressure should be brought to bear upon the Congress 
to take similar action now and to exempt, w:thout delay, from the operation of the 
federal estate tax law, legacies and bequests to educational, philanthropic, and re- 
ligious institutions.” (Annual Report of President Butler, Columbia University in 
the City of New York, for 1916-1917.)

lief Association and allied themselves with the Red Cross and 
Navy League, turning out an average of fifty garments, one 
hundred knitted articles, and two thousand surgical dressings 
each month, and support a “Soldiers’ Aid Committee,” which 
supplies comfort kits and other gifts to the soldiers and officers 
who have enlisted from the Museum. 

The Department of Public Health, under Curator Charles- 
Edward Amory Winslow, immediately began to arrange a 
special exhibition on food values and economies and to prepare 
a fifty-page handbook entitled “Health in War and Peace.” 
The exhibition was first made in the American Museum, then 
in the Washington Irving High School and in the College 
of the City of New York. In all these institutions it has 
been used for practical intensive teaching purposes: The 
Health Department of the Museum, in codperation with the 
departments of Mammals and Fishes, has advocated and listed 
various unutilized foods, such as seaweeds, marine mollusks, 
sharks and other unutilized food fishes, also whales and seals 
among marine mammals. 

The Department of Public Education, in codperation with 
the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A., has pre- 
pared a series of lectures accompanied by thousands of slides 
and many reels of motion picture films, for service among the 
allied troops at home and abroad. 

The Department of Anthropology has been active in innovat- 
ing and spreading the Mandan corn movement, a variety of 
corn adapted to extremely arid and elevated regions, which will 
result in greatly increasing the corn growing area of the United 
States, inasmuch as it will promote the cultivation of varieties 
of Mandan corn in localities where it has been found impossible 
to raise ordinary types of corn. This department has also been 
in codperation with the Department of Mammals in an effort 
to provide proper clothing designed for aviation service, by 
submitting for Government inspection various fur and skin 
samples and garments made by the Eskimo in the arctic region. 

At the beginning of the war a chemical exhibition was 
brought together and installed under the energetic direction of 
Dr. George F. Kunz, for the purpose of showing the progress 
in industrial chemistry made by this country and of encour- 


26 Report of the President 


aging American manufacturers to independent discovery along 
these lines. 


Another important contribution by the Museum to the cause 
of the Allies is the model of the Liberty Field Hospital, most 
skilfully designed and constructed under the di- 
Liberty Field rection of President Osborn by Mr. Harry F. 
a Unit Beers, Superintendent of Construction. This 
model is on the unit construction principle. In 
sanitation it comprises the latest features of British, French 
and American field hospital designs, and approaches perfection 
especially for winter and summer use and in provision for open- 
air treatment. The dimensions conform to the standards for 
field hospital wards adopted by Surgeon General Gorgas, and 
the model when complete will be submitted to the Surgeon Gen- 
eral and to the Red Cross. When the war is over, these model 
hospitals can be converted into dwelling houses of any size in 
multiples of five feet and used in the reconstruction of devas- 
tated towns and villages. 

Among other efforts to render national service may be men- 
tioned the part taken by the Museum in the State Military 
Census registration, carried on by women volunteers from 
among the Museum’s employees; the establishment of a 
Provost-Marshal’s enlistment and exemption office in the Vis- 
itors’ Room of the Museum, and the drastic means adopted 
toward the conservation of fuel by reducing the heat and light 
supply of the institution by one-half. 


EXPLORATION AND RESEARCH 


It is gratifying to report the safe return of all the members 
of our Arctic party which left the Museum about five years ago 
(July 2, 1913). In codperation with the American 

Fake Geographical Society and the University of Illinois, 
the Museum undertook this expedition on the as- 

surance by Rear Admiral Peary that a northern land existed. 
The original estimates of cost were $50,000, but up to the pres- 
ent time the cost has risen to $167,953, owing to the unprece- 
dented weather and ice conditions on the west coast of Green-

land and the failure of the first two relief parties on the “Cluett” 
and on the “Danmark,” necessitating a third outfit, on the S.S. 
“Neptune,” under Commander Bartlett. Although the main 
object of the expedition was not attained, the supposed land 
proving to have been a mirage, interesting and important scien- 
tific results in geography, botany and zodlogy were secured. 
According to the terms of our agreement, the detailed geo- 
graphical reports of Messrs. MacMillan and Ekblaw belong to 
the American Geographical Society ; the other scientific reports 
will be brought together in a volume to be arranged by a 
special éditorial committee composed of the leader of the expe- 
dition, Mr. Donald B. MacMillan, another member of the 
expedition, Mr. W. Elmer Ekblaw of the University of Illinois, 
Dr. Frank E. Lutz, Editor of the Museum Bulletin and Mem- 
oirs, and Mr. George H. Sherwood, Acting Chairman of the 
Crocker Land Committee. Mr. MacMillan’s narrative volume, 
in which he has exclusive rights, will be published by Harper 
and Brothers. The following contributions have been made 
to the cost of this Expedition:

The remaining expenses of $33,000 are still to be raised by 
subscription or contribution. 

The previous arctic work of the Museum, under Messrs. 
Stefansson and Anderson, has been partly published in the 
Report of Mr. Stefansson, and arrangements are being made 
with Dr. R. M. Anderson, now of the Geological Survey at 
Ottawa, Canada, to complete the zoological reports. 


Exploration in North America for the year, especially in 
zoology and vertebrate paleontology, was largely discontinued 
because of the war. In anthropology, how- 
ever, very important work in the Southwest, 
namely, the excavations of the buried cities of 
Aztec and Pueblo Bonito, was carried on through the con- 
tinuation of the Southwest Fund generously contributed by 
Mr. Archer M. Huntington. 


North America 
and Antilles 


28 Report of the President 


Of continued promise is the natural history survey of Porto 
Rico, undertaken in cooperation with the New York Academy 
of Sciences and the Government of Porto Rico. The plan, 
begun in 1913, is to make a complete survey of the island, its 
insect life, its botany, forests, plant and animal resources, its 
coast and fisheries. Several discoveries of very great interest 
have already been made and we look forward to the publication 
of a full series of three volumes of natural history reports by 
the New York Academy of Sciences, under the general direc- 
tion of Dr. Nathaniel Lord Britton, Director of the New York 
Botanical Garden. 


The chief event of the year in the prosecution of our scien- 
tific survey of South America was the publication of “The 
Distribution of Bird-Life in Colombia” by 
Dr. Frank M. Chapman, constituting Volume 
XXXVI of the Bulletin of The American Museum of Natural 
History. This contribution to the biological survey of South 
America represents the very highest standard of modern field 
exploration. It is the first completed scientific work of the 
intensive zodlogical survey of South America inaugurated in 
December, 1910, and conducted by Messrs. Chapman, Cherrie, 
Miller, Boyle, Richardson and Fuertes, under funds contrib- 
uted by the Museum from the Jesup Fund, by Colonel Theo- 
dore Roosevelt, Mr. Cleveland H. Dodge and other friends of 
the-Museum. The Museum also gratefully acknowledges the 
courtesies extended to it by the Colombian Government through 
its representatives in this country, and its administrators at the 
ports of Barranquilla, Buenaventura and Tumaco. Dr. Chap- 
man’s volume is a credit not only to the Museum but to Amer- 
ican science. It sets a standard for all our work, not only in 
South America but in Africa and in other countries. The 
courtesy, integrity and tact which our explorers carried into 
their South American work give promise of the establishment 
of new and friendly scientific relations with our sister republics 
of the south. 

The next report to be issued in the South American series 
will be that by Mr. George K. Cherrie of the Roosevelt Expedi- 
tion of 1916-1917.

The Asiatic Zodlogical Expedition 29 


Our work in Asia for the Asiatic Hall of the future has 
begun most auspiciously through the entire success of our first 
Asiatic Zodlogical Expedition under Mr. Roy Chapman 
Andrews, assisted by Mrs. Yvette Borup Andrews and 
Mr. Edmund Heller. The total cost of this expedition, namely 
$14,000, was met partly by the Morris K. Jesup Fund and 
partly by generous contributions from the following Members 
of the Museum:

Landing in China in May, 1916, the party first explored the 
Province of Fu-kien, west of Formosa, where they were greatly 
assisted by the Reverend Harry R. Caldwell, a missionary of 
the finest type and a most worthy representative of our country 
in the Chinese Republic, also an enthusiast in natural science. 
We have recently enrolled him as one of our Life Members. 
After securing valuable collections in this region, the party 
proceeded to explore the Province of Yunnan, spending nine 
months in zoological and geographical exploration and bringing 
back priceless photographic records and a superb collection of 
2,100 mammals, 800 birds and 200 reptiles, a large number of 
which, especially of the mammals, are new to the museums of 
this country. Issuing by way of Burma, the expedition was 
greatly aided by members of the British Government in India, 
to whom our very special acknowledgments are made in Mr. 
Andrews’s report. His narrative volume will be published by 
D. Appleton and Company. He is now engaged upon a special 
scientific report which will appear in the American Museum 
Bulletin. 


The American Museum Expedition to the Congo, after six 
years of arduous work in the field under Mr. Herbert Lang and

which time the leaders and other members of the Museum staff 
have been engaged in the preparation and arrangement of the 
vast collections secured, in research and in publication. 
The total cost of the expedition and the prepara- 
tion of the collections to date is $73,797.28. Here again the 
best standards of modern scientific field work were observed, 
and the following publications, already issued, are highly re- 
garded by naturalists:

commission as First Lieutenant in Infantry. 


The mounting and sculpture of the animals for the African 
Hall are in charge of Mr. Carl E. Akeley, assisted by Mr. 
James L. Clark. During the past year two White 
Rhinoceroses have been completed and the first 
specimen of the Okapi is nearing completion. Progress has 
also been made on the great African Elephant Group.

Five years have now been devoted by Curator Henry E. 

Crampton to his exploration of the Polynesian Islands, under 

the Carnegie Fund, in codperation with the Ameri- 

Polynesia can Museum. The first volume, entitled “Studies 

Plilonines on the Variation, Distribution and Evolution of 

the genus Partula, a Species Inhabiting Tahiti,” 

appeared in January, 1917, and will be followed in time by two 

other volumes, constituting a very important contribution to 

the land shell fauna of Polynesia, with a bearing on biological 
problems. 

It is gratifying to report that our Philippine collections, 
which were secured by the Museum in 1904, at the time of the 
closing of the St. Louis Exposition, are now being carefully 
reviewed by Dr. Alfred L. Kroeber of the University of Cali- 
fornia, who has in preparation a handbook on this collection 
which will embody not only a review of the collection but will 
be a handbook to the ethnology, archeology and zodlogy of the 
Philippine Islands. 


32 Report of the President 


MEMBERSHIP AND STAFF 


In the opening part of this report a broader tribute was paid 
to our senior and most distinguished associate, the Honorable 
Joseph Hodges Choate, whose death occurred 
ee Fre May 14, 1917. We may now record some- 
what more in detail Mr. Choate’s great ser- 

vices to the Museum: 


JOSEPH HODGES CHOATE 


was born at Salem, Massachusetts, on January 24, 1832, the 
son of Dr. George and Margaret Manning (Hodges) Choate. 
He graduated from Harvard College in 1852 with the 
degree of A.B., and from the Harvard Law School in 1854. 
He received the Honorary Degree of A.M. from Har- 
vard in 1860, and the Honorary Degree of LL.D. in 1888. 
He also received the Honorary Degree of LL.D. from 
Amherst in 1887, Edinburgh, 1900, Cambridge, 1900, Yale, 
Igo1, St. Andrew’s, 1902, Glasgow, 1904, Williams, 1905, Uni- 
versity of Pennsylvania, 1908, Union, 1909; and the degree of 
D.C.L. from Oxford in 1902. He was admitted to the Bar in 
Massachusetts in 1855, and in New York in 1856. He was 
presiding officer of the State Constitutional Convention 
of 1894; Ambassador to the Court of St. James from 1899 to 
1905 ; representative of the United States at the Second Hague 
Conference in 1907; leading representative and orator of the 
City of New York on the occasion of the reception to the Com- 
missions of Great Britain and of France, Wednesday, May 9, 
and Sunday, May 13, 1917. He passed away at his home in 
New York City on the evening of Monday, May 14, 1917. 

He was a member of the original group of citizens who 
founded The American Museum of Natural History in 1869, 
and he served the Museum as Counsel and Trustee during the 
remainder of his life. 


Joseph Hodges Choate +36 


At a special meeting of the Trustees of The American Mu- 
seum of Natural History, held May 22, 1917, in memory of 
Mr. Choate, the President was invited to prepare a Memorial, 
of which the following is an abstract: 

“At the age of thirty-seven, in the month of February, 1869, 
Joseph Hodges Choate became one of the Founders of The 
American Museum of Natural History and served the institu- 
tion continuously for forty-eight years, sending his last official 
letter to the President on May 5, 1917, and attending his last 
meeting of the Board of Trustees on May 7, 1917. At this 
time he was fresh and young in heart, powerful and vigorous 
in mind, and his interest in the Museum showed no abatement. 

“The history of the Museum, as recorded in the Minutes of 
the Board of Trustees, shows that he was the author of the 
Charter, of the Act of Incorporation, of the original Constitu- 
tion and By-Laws and of the Contract with the Department of 
Parks. Into these papers, which constitute the unique legal 
foundation of the Museum, he worked an entirely new concep- 
tion, namely, provision for the independent and untrammeled 
management of the Museum by the most intelligent men of the 
city, combined with its establishment as a public institution, to 
be built and partly maintained by public taxation, and to be 
endowed and enriched with specimens brought together 
through private gifts and donations. 

“This wise union of public and private endeavor led the way 
to a similar legal foundation for The Metropolitan Museum of 
Art, of which Mr. Choate was also the author. The foundation 
of these two Museums led to that of the several other great 
scientific and educational institutions of the City of New York, 
including The New York Botanical Garden and The New York 
Zoological Park; to these have been contributed, in the many 
years since their foundation, $50,000,000 in private gifts. Thus 
Mr. Choate was, in a sense, the legal author of a system of in- 
stitutions which now gives to the City of New York the lead 
among all the cities of the world.” 

For the full record of Mr. Choate’s services, our Members 
are referred to the Memorial Volume which will be found in 
the Museum Library. 


34 Report of the President 


The Museum has suffered another loss through the death of 
Anson Wales Hard, who passed away on June 20, 1917. 
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees 
Service of 2 : 
‘Anson W., Hard held on Nov ember is 1917, the Trustees paid the 
following tribute to the life of their colleague: 


“The Trustees desire to record their respect and high esteem 
for their late colleague 


ANSON WALES HARD 


who died on June 20, 1917. Mr. Hard was elected a Trustee 
in 1894 and in the same year was elected a member of the Exec- 
utive Committee, on which he served continuously for thirteen 
years. He was a member of the Auditing Committee for eight- 
een years and was its Chairman from 1908 to 1913. 

“He was deeply and practically interested in the progress of 
the Museum. Among his most important gifts are a collection 
of Serape and Chimayo Blankets from Mexico and his frequent 
contributions of rare and valuable books to the Library. 

“His broad sympathy and regard for his fellow man were 
evidenced through his service on the Committees organizing 
the Pension System for the employees of the Museum and as a 
member of the Pension Board. His interest in the institution 
was not confined to one department but extended to many. His 
gentle manner and his consideration of others bore evidence of 
his kindly and affectionate nature. 

“For some years past, Mr. Hard was in delicate health and 
we have missed his genial presence. We desire to send to his 
family this expression of our warm appreciation of his charac- 
ter and of his generous contributions in time and gifts to The 
American Museum of Natural History.” 


In the sudden death of Louis Pope Gratacap the Museum lost 

its senior Curator, who had been in continuous and devoted 

service since 1876, a man beloved and ad- 

Service of mired by all his associates and honored and 
Louis P. Gratacap x ; 

esteemed by his fellow-workers in the two 

branches of science to which he devoted his life, namely, min- 

eralogy and conchology. The present beautiful and orderly 


Appointments and Promotions 35 


arrangement of our great collection of shells, probably one of 
the oldest and largest of its kind, is entirely due to the energy 
and devotion of Mr. Gratacap. The same is true of the orderly 
arrangement of our great collection of minerals and gems. No 
curator in the Museum could leave his task more complete and 
in more perfect condition for his successor or successors. Nor 
can any successor be found who covers such a broad field and 
covers it so well. Mr. Gratacap inherited from his French an- 
cestors his enthusiasm for science, his love of the beautiful, 
and his genius for the systematic and orderly arrangement of 
the collections in his care. He was a man of singular modesty 
and never would acquiesce in the praise and appreciation which 
all felt were his due. 


At the request of the President and the Faculty, the Trus- 
tees have appointed Messrs. 


Edwin H. Blashfield, 
Daniel C. French and 
Breck Trowbridge 


an Advisory Committee on Mural Painting, Decoration, Sculp- 
ture and Architecture, in order that the art 
Appointments = works in connection with the scientific exhibits 
and Promotions ; 
may be of the highest standard. 

At a meeting of the Faculty, held on December 5, 1917, it 
was voted that the title “Honorary Curator” should be reserved 
for those who had actually performed curatorial service and 
that the title “Research Associate” should be applied only to 
those who are rendering expert service in a particular branch 
of science. 

Acting upon this recommendation, the Trustees have ap- 
pointed 


Henry Fairfield Osborn, Honorary Curator of the Depart- 
ment of Vertebrate Paleontology. 

Bashford Dean, Honorary Curator of the Department of 
Ichthyology and Herpetology. 

William Morton Wheeler, Honorary Curator of the De- 
partment of Invertebrate Zoology.

Dr. Frank E. Lutz, of the Department of Invertebrate 
Zodlogy, was appointed to succeed Dr. Allen, beginning | 
his administration of the work on November 1. 


PUBLIC ACTIVITIES OF THE STAFF 


The national character of the Museum is emphasized by the 
fact that in addition to the federal service which various mem- 
bers of the staff have rendered they have participated in many 
scientific activities outside the Museum: 


President Henry Fairfield Osborn, Dr. Charles D. Walcott 
of the Smithsonian Institution, and Director Frederic A. Lucas 
were appointed judges for the bestowal of the Daniel Giraud 
Elliot Gold Medal, the gift of Miss Margaret Henderson 
Elliot.

the General Committee of the United States Food Administra- 
tion in New York City. 

On the evening of November 15, President Osborn delivered 
an address on “The Origin and Nature of Life,” at the anni- 
versary celebration of the New York Academy of Medicine. 

Director Frederic A. Lucas was elected an Honorary Mem- 
ber of the California Academy of Sciences. He was also 
elected Honorary President of the Keramic Society of Greater 
New York. 


38 Report of the President 


Dr. Frank M. Chapman was elected an Honorary Member 
of the British Ornithologists’ Union, at the annual meeting of 
the Society, held on March 14, in London. (Not more than ten 
“Honorary Members” are recruited from eminent ornithol- 
ogists residing abroad.) 

At a special meeting of the Argentine Society of Natural 
Sciences (Buenos Aires) and the Ornithological Society of the 
Plata (Buenos Aires), Dr. Frank M. Chapman was made an 
Honorary Member of the Ornithological Society and a Cor- 
responding Member of the Society of Natural Sciences. 

At the dedication of the Museum of New Mexico at Santa Fé 
the Museum was represented by Dr. Clark Wissler, who gave 
an address on “The Opportunities of the New Museum,” and 
by Mr. N. C. Nelson, who spoke on “Recent Archzological 
Discoveries in the Southwest.” 

The Museum was represented by Dr. Clark Wissler, Dr. P. 
E. Goddard, and Mr. N. C. Nelson at the joint convention of 
the American Anthropological Association and the American 
Folk-Lore Society which was held in Philadelphia, December 
27-29. Professor A. L. Kroeber presided. A dinner was 
given on the evening of December 27 in honor of Dr. Wissler, 
in appreciation of his recent publication, “The American In- 
dian.” This book was the theme of the after-dinner discussion. 

Dr. Robert H. Lowie, Associate Curator in the Department 
of Anthropology, left in August for California, where he is 
acting as Associate Professor in Anthropology during the aca- 
demic year 1917-1918 in the University of California at

W. Miner was elected a councilor for a term of three years. 


Liberty Loan Subscriptions 39 


WELFARE OF EMPLOYEES 


The Fifth Annual Report of the Pension Board has appeared 
and bears testimony to the efficient management of the Pension 
Fund under the Chairmanship of Mr. Felix M. Warburg. 

The operation of the pension system is proving very satis- 
factory and is on a financially sound basis. There are now 256 
subscribers to this fund. The invested funds amount to 
$76,c00, derived from the personal contributions of em- 
ployees and Trustees since the establishment of the fund in 
1913. The receipts through contributions of employees and 
the Board of Trustees for 1917 amounted to $20,361.38. The 
disbursements during the year in pensions and _ gratuities 
amounted to $5,434.66. 

The requirement that all employees shall undergo physical 
examination before being accepted as permanent was under- 
taken primarily to safeguard the funds and has had an unfore- 
seen beneficial result as it has brought to the attention of 
individual employees slight physical defects or tendencies, 
which, when treated under the advice of the medical examiner 
of the Board, have been either remedied or controlled. 

Further steps have been taken in providing for the well-being 
of employees. Through friends of the Museum, endowed beds 
in the Mount Sinai and Presbyterian Hospitals have been 
placed at the disposition of the Pension Board for occupancy 
by employees in need of surgical or medical attention. 


In June the President appointed Mr. Felix M. Warburg, Mr. 
Adrian Iselin, Mr. Frederick H. Smyth, and Mr. George N. 
Pindar, a Special Committee to formulate a plan 
whereby all the employees might have an oppor- 
tunity to subscribe to the Liberty Loans. Under 
the plan evolved, each employee was permitted to subscribe for 
as many bonds as he wished, up to the amount of his accumu- 
lated contributions to the Pension Fund, and to pay for them 
by having $2.50 a month on each $50 bond deducted from his 


Liberty Loan 
Subscriptions 


40 Report of the President 


salary. Through the generosity of two of our Trustees, funds 
were advanced for the purchase of the bonds desired and the 
plan was put in operation. There were 164 subscriptions to the 
first issue, amounting to $13,150, and 95 to the second, amount- 
ing to $9,100. 


HOSPITALITY TO SOCIETIES 


In accordance with the custom of many years, the Museum 
has provided meeting rooms for educational and scientific so- 
cieties, notably the New York Academy of Sciences and 
Affiliated Societies, the American Association of Museums, the 
American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society, the Na- 
tional Association of Audubon Societies for the Protection of 
Wild Birds and Animals, the Horticultural Society of New 
York, the Junior Auxiliary of the New York Zoological So- 
ciety. The Department of Education of the City of New York 
has held lectures in our auditorium, on Tuesday and Saturday 
evenings, as for many years past. 

Assistance has been given to the War Department by pro- 
viding quarters in the Visitors’ Room for the Local Board, 
Division No. 129, of the Provost Marshal General’s Office. 

Several special exhibits were arranged during the year as 
follows: 


Models and paintings of modern animals and a mural 
decoration of prehistoric animals, by Charles R. Knight, 
from December 15, 1916, to January 22, 1917. 

Paintings and bronzes portraying the Early West, by 
William de la M. Cary, from February 16 to April 22. 

The Horticultural Society of New York held its 
flower exhibitions in the halls on the first floor, January 
13-14, February 17-18 and November 9-11, respectively. 

Two exhibits of designs suitable for the decoration of 
textile fabrics, wall paper and keramics, from objects in 
the Museum, one held in March and one in December. 

Pottery and chinaware of designs inspired by the Mu- 
seum’s collections of the primitive art of the Americas 
were exhibited by the Keramic Society of Greater New 
York, from April 25 to May 6, 


Hospitality to Societies 41 


Paintings, “The Whalers of New Bedford,” by Clifford 
W. Ashley, from May Io to June Io.

tober 12-14. 

In early November the thirty-ninth anniversary of the 
New York Microscopical Society was celebrated with a 
public exhibit held in the Museum. 

New Zealand paintings, by Miss Frances Del Mar, from 
November 21 to December Io. 

On December 5, the Board of Water Supply of the City 
of New York opened an exhibit of the Catskill System of 
Waterworks, illustrated by models, maps, water-color pic- 
tures, rock-cores, drawings, photographs and charts.

BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT 


As has been already noted, construction of new buildings has 
been postponed until after the war. This delay will necessitate 
further congestion in the exhibition halls. 
Sai eee Through the equipment fund, C DP 3E, a 
moderate amount of case construction for 
both exhibition and storage has been accomplished during the 
year. As a result of a special appeal by the President, the 
Board of Estimate, on December 28, 1917, granted a further 
release of $42,438.01, which will provide for case construction 
during the current year. Of the original appropriation, $111,- 
808.77, the sum of $101,513.99 has now been released. The 
details of the work carried on under these appropriations as 
well as under the allotment for Special Repairs will be found 
in the Report of the Director, pages 45 to 50. 


SPECIAL GIFTS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 


In the list of Accessions, pages 185 to 201, will be found ac- 
knowledgments of the many gifts received by the Museum dur- 
ing the year 1917. Special mention may be made of the New 
York Zodlogical Society which has presented a large number of 
mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Thus, through co- 
operation with the New York Zodlogical Society, rare animals 
which have served their purpose as living examples of their 


Gifts and Acknowledgments 43 


species at the Zoological Park, continue their educational work 
in the Museum collections. 

Other special gifts are: An ancestral tablet (for worship), 
from China, and a sacred belt, apron and head-dress of a lama 
of Tibet from Mrs. William Tod Helmuth; a fur coat made 
up in parka fashion, probably of marten skins, Alaska, from 
Mrs. E. H. Harriman; horns from Alaskan moose, spread 66 
inches, engraved with Haida figures, from Juneau or Sitka, 
presented by J. M. Ellsworth. Five thousand feet of motion 
picture film of microscopic life, marine views, embryology and 
hatching of chick, and formation of crystals was the gift of 
Mr. A. Fabbri. More than 8,000 insects from China were re- 
ceived from the Reverend Harry R. Caldwell; an archeological 
collection of about 3,500 specimens from New York State and 
a series of ethnological specimens from North American In- 
dians were presented by Mr. W. L. Hildburgh. A Chinese 
costume was given by Mrs. J. A. Finn; 517 birdskins from 
Ecuador by Mr. William B. Richardson ; a mummified body of 
a man with a rabbit-skin blanket and some bone fragments, 
from a cliff cave in Tularosa Mountains of New Mexico, near 
Frisco River, were the gift of Dr. S. M. Strong, U.S. A. 

The Spanish-American Iron Company of Santiago, Cuba, 
rendered much valuable service to the Museum through active 
codperation with Mr. Anthony in the field. The company 
steamer and railroads were placed at Mr. Anthony’s disposal, 
quarters at Daiquiri were given for several weeks, and horses 
and men were always had for the asking. 

While in the field, the Asiatic Zodlogical Expedition was 
assisted very materially by ‘the following gentlemen, without 
whose cooperation it would have been impossible to carry on 
the work, and it is a pleasure to acknowledge here the indebt- 
edness of the American Museum to them: the Director of the 
Bureau of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese government; M. 
Georges Chemin Dupontés, Directeur de I’Exploitation de la 
Compagnie Francaise des Chemins de Fer de Indochine et du 
Yunnan, Hanoi, Tongking; M. Henry Wilden, Consul de 
France, Shanghai; M. Kraemer, Consul de France, Hongkong ; 
Mr. Howard Page, Standard Oil Co., Yunnan-fu; Hon. Paul 
Reinsch, Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary

Popular Publications 45 


GENERAL ADMINISTRATION OF THE MUSEUM 


Freperic A. Lucas, Director 


While the war has naturally affected the work of the Mu- 
seum, yet its effects have been felt principally in a lessened 
number of expeditions, and satisfactory progress has been 
made in the care and installation of the collections, in research 
and in publication. 


The slightly lessened sales of popular publications show the 
effect of “hard times,” though the demand for the “General 
Guide” is about the same as usual, 3,233 copies 
ae having been sold during the year, exhausting the 
edition of 1916; a new edition is now in press 

and will be issued early in 1918. 

There were also sold 1,282 Handbooks, 2,179 leaflets and 978 
reprints of articles in the Journal; all in all, 8,566 copies of the 
various publications. 

Diminished sales of poster stamps and post cards also reflect 
the enforced economy of the year, and it is rather interesting to 
note that, aside from the Guide, the leaflets most often called 
for are those more particularly written with students in view. 
“The Ancient Civilizations of Mexico and Central America” has 
been added to the Handbooks series, and in line with the use 
by students of the Peruvian collections, Mr. Mead prepared a 
leaflet on “Peruvian Art” which has been much in demand; also 
a leaflet on “Insects and Disease” is in the hands of the printer. 

As part of the publicity work, under the direction of Mr. 
Pindar, another large edition of the hotel circular has been 
printed and distributed, and a handsome calendar, with illus- 
trations mainly taken from groups and other objects in the 
Museum, was prepared and sent to all the Members of the 
Museum as well as to others interested in its work. 


What may be termed the practical uses of the 

Lope wheat collections continue to increase, and this year de- 
signers have extended their work from designs 

for fabrics to those for entire costumes, taking their motives

from the garments of primitive peoples, especially those of the 
Koryaks. Aside from these, sculptors and medalists have 
drawn upon the Museum for models for various animals and 
even the humble woodchuck has posed for the general good. 


The rearrangement of the Primates Hall, which is about half 
completed, may well be classed with new exhibits, for the re- 
moval of the single specimens from cherry bases, 
cleaning and installing them without shelves and 
with new labels, have made the individual specimens “as good 
as new,” and, in some cases, even better. Fine groups of Afri- 
can Red Monkeys and Spider Monkeys have been added, a 
group of Lemurs is well advanced and one of Howling Mon- 
keys commenced. 

The Apache Group was opened to the public on May 19, and 
the Virginia Deer Group was placed on exhibition in Septem- 
ber. This last, showing deer at sunset in the Adirondacks, is 
one of the most beautiful groups in the Museum. 

The first of the projected exhibits illustrating the structure 
and physical characters of man has been installed: it deals with 
cranial characters, gives a sketch of the history of craniometry, 
illustrations of the terms employed and principal measurements 
used, and examples of typical crania of different types and 
races. 

The rearrangement of the Chinese Hall has not only given 
more room for display, but has added greatly to its appearance, 
so that this section of the Museum is now extremely attractive. 

The rearranging of the North Pacific Hall has made good 
progress. An important change has been the covering of the 
columns, thereby transforming them from round cast iron to 
square, cement-faced pillars, on which, or against which, large 
objects such as house posts can be placed. 

A number of additions have been made to the Birds of the 
World series, and many, especially among the birds of prey, 
have been remounted by Mr. Engel, so that the general stan- 
dard of the exhibits has been greatly improved. 

Progress has been made on the Elephant Group, though, like 
all other branches of work, this has been hampered by war con- 
ditions which have called for service elsewhere those engaged 
upon it. The close of the year finds the young male nearly

finished, the female and young well advanced, and the huge 
male about one half done. The record White Rhinoceros is 
completed, as is the calf, and the female is well along in prepa- 
ration. 

The most important single piece completed during the year 
was the reproduction of the Manta, or Giant Ray, secured by 
Mr. Russell J. Coles, which was hung over the exhibits of fishes 
in November, and for the first time affords the public an idea 
of this most interesting creature. 

Important additions have been made to the historical side of 
the collections through the gift of a large painting by Titian R. 
Peale of a herd of bison near the headwaters of the Platte, 
from studies made during the expedition under Long in 1820, 
and a portrait of Robert Havell, engraver of the first edition of 
Audubon’s Birds of America, together with his last painting. 
For the first the Museum is indebted to Mr. John M. Hoffmire 
and Mr. Charles W. MacMullen, nephews of Mrs. Titian R. 
Peale, and for the latter to Mr. Robert Havell Lockwood, 
grandson of the engraver. The Museum had already acquired 
from Mr. Hoffmire a fine portrait of Peale together with the 
drawings and manuscript for his projected work on American 
Butterflies. 


The printing office has turned out its customary amount of 
work, including this year 1,000 copies of each of the three 
leaflets, “Our Common Butterflies,” ‘““How to Col- 
a. lect Insects,” and “Syllabus Guide to the Public 
Health Hall.” There were also no less than 28,000 
small booklets, sixteen pages each, issued in connection with 
the various lecture courses. Aside from these the printing 
may be roughly summarized as follows:

48 Report of the President 


The equipment and work of the printing office have increased 
to such an extent that the next logical step would seem to be 
raising it to such a point that it could do all the work of the 
Museum, save, possibly, the printing of the Journal. 


The year has witnessed the completion of the iron storage 

racks in the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology, greatly 

increasing the storage space, safety and acces- 

Care of Building sibility of the specimens. Work is well ad- 
and Equipment ; 

vanced on a series of four concrete storage 

rooms to replace the large wooden boxes over the west corri- 

dor, fifth floor, and here again their completion will add much 

to the security and ease of handling of the ethnological material. 

This year also sees the gallery and cases built in the Osborn 
Library of Vertebrate Paleontology, where additional room 
was badly needed, and the galleries for birds and mammals in 
two of the office rooms. 

Many additions have been made to the storage cases for main- 
mals, birds and insects, and yet the growth of the collections 
has been such that the lack of appropriations in 1915 has put 
the construction work so far behind that it seems impossible 
to catch up with them. To paraphrase the well known dictum 
as to the requirements of civilization, one may say that the 
needs of a museum are for cases, more cases, and still more cases. 

Another and most important item, for which special pro- 
vision was made in the budget, has been the improving of the 
acoustics of the large auditorium, plans for which were sub- 
mitted by Professor Wallace C. Sabine three years ago. The 
results have been extremely satisfactory to lecturers and audi- 
ences, and it is to be regretted that structural obstacles make it 
impossible to effect equal improvements in the heating and ven- 
tilation. 


Since the subsidence of the epidemic of poliomyelitis, the 
attendance has become almost normal, though the disquiet at- 
tendant on the imminence of war and subse- 
quent participation in it by the United States, 
has apparently had a deterrent effect on visitors, especially on 
those from out of town. 


Attendance 


Attendance 49 


Museum attendance is more or less uncertain and it is usually 
impossible to assign any definite reasons for increase, and espe- 
cially decrease, in the number of visitors. It can simply be said 
that they come or stay away as they choose, and the most inten- 
sive advertising—such as took place during the Tuberculosis 
Exhibition of December, 1908—fails to add permanently to the 
list. 

In September, 1917, the Visitors’ Room was turned over to 
the Local Board, Division No. 129, of the Provost Marshal 
General, War Department, and up to date is still in use as well 
as the adjoining Academy Room. Up to the time of its occu- 
pancy by the Local Board, nearly 20,000 visitors had made use 
of the Visitors’ Room in 1917.

There has apparently been a steady gain in the attendance 
of students, or of those who make systematic use of the collec- 
tions, although exact figures are available only for the Darwin 
Hall, where 11,841 were recorded—a gain of 5,174 during the 
past three years. 

A permanent gain of 10,000 who really use the Museum is 
better than a temporary gain of 50,000 who come for one visit 
only. And the record of attendance shows that special events,

such as the flower show, which bring a large attendance for a 
few days, are not followed by any increase in regular atten- 
dance but rather by a drop. The attendance, however, of stu- 
dents, pupils and others, who come to really make use of the 
collections, shows a healthy and steady growth. 


Public Education 51 


REPORTS OF THE CURATORS 


PUBLIC EDUCATION IN THE MUSEUM 
ADEN THE SCHOGES* 


GerorceE H. SHERWoop, Curator 


The public educational work of the Museum may be sepa- 
rated into three major divisions: 


Museum Extension to the Schools 
Natural History Teaching in the Museum 
The Photographic Work of the Museum 


The extent of this practical educational work can be most 
effectively shown by citing the statistical summary of the work 
of the Department of Public Education for the year 1917. 

The Circulating Nature Study Collections, 712 in all, have 
been in use in 446 schools, in which 1,075,076 children have had 
an opportunity to study them. 

The lending of lantern slides, undertaken through special 
arrangement with the Department of Education of New York 
City, has had an astonishing development. The number of 
loans to public schools has increased from 491 to 935, while the 
number of slides circulated has risen from 38,912 in 1916 to 
63,111 in 1917. 

To pupils of the public schools, 103 lectures have been given 
by members of the staff, at which a total of 79,323 children 
were present. Of this number 40,798 came to the Museum, 
while in the case of the remaining 38,525, the lectures were 
taken to them in the schools. 

The instruction for the blind included 31 lessons to blind 
children from the public schools with a total attendance of 345. 

The special collections for libraries were exhibited in 9 
branches of the New York Public Library and were studied by 
29,380 people. 


* Under the Department of Public Education (see also pages 19, 25 and 18s). 


52 Report of the President 


The reference series of negatives and photographs has re- 
ceived additions of 3,254 negatives and 3,128 photographs, the 
total reference file now numbering 46,565 negatives and 63,818 
photographs. 

The photographic department has made 1,547 negatives, 
3,526 lantern slides and 13,623 prints. 

While the regular Museum extension to the schools has been 
maintained at its previous high standard, the department has 
made a direct contribution to war work. 


Appeals for help in the way of entertainment for soldiers 
have come to the Museum from the War Council 
hice ~ of the Y. M. C. A. and three ways have been de- 
veloped in which the Museum is able to render 

practical assistance. 

The department possessed several thousand uncatalogued 
lantern slides. Largely through the volunteer assistance of 
members of the department, these slides have been carefully 
sorted, and more than 4,000 from which lectures may be made 
have been presented to the Y. M. C. A. 


The second method of assistance consists in preparing spe- 
cial lectures particularly designed to interest soldiers and sail- 
ors. These are called “Exploration Tales for Soldiers and 
Sailors.” Their purpose is set forth in the following foreword 
which accompanies each lecture: 

“The expeditions sent by The American Museum of Natural 
History to the remote parts of the earth not only have brought 
together wonderful natural history collections, but are filled 
with adventures that stir the blood. We believe that the tales 
of these experiences will appeal to the soldiers and sailors, 
since the successful explorer must possess in marked degree the 
qualities which make good fighting men. These stories are told 
by the explorers themselves with the hope that they will enter- 
tain, amuse and rest the boys in training and those at the front.” 

Each tale is fully illustrated with colored lantern slides, and 
the text which accompanies it is dictated by the explorer him- 
self in the language which he would use in addressing the men 
in person. Already two of these recreational lectures have been 


Circulating Nature Study Collections 53 


completed and lent to the Y. M. C. A—“Camera Hunting for 
Whales,” by Roy Chapman Andrews, and “Bird Life on an 
Antarctic Island,” by Robert Cushman Murphy. Two others, 
“Through the Brazilian Wilderness with Colonel Roosevelt,” 
by George K. Cherrie, and “Some of My Mascots,” by Ernest 
Harold Baynes, are nearly completed, and two by Carl E. 
Akeley on “African Big Game” are in course of preparation. 


The third plan of codperation with the Y. M. C. A. is to lend 
two-reel sets of the best motion pictures in the Museum under 
the title of “American Museum Exploration Series.” These 
will include selected portions of the motion pictures taken in 
China and Japan by Roy Chapman Andrews on the Asiatic 
Zoological Expedition of the Museum, and the films secured by 
the Crocker Land Expedition in the Arctic. 


At the request of Mrs. Henry R. Hoyt, of the Ladies’ Social 
Welfare Committee of the Y. M. C. A., guides have been fur- 
nished for groups of sailors on shore leave from the United 
States naval vessels in the waters near New York. Such groups 
visit the Museum on Saturday afternoons and are conducted 
through the exhibition halls. The Museum is indebted to Miss 
Annie Lucas who has generously given her services as docent 
on the occasions of these visits. 

A more detailed account of the regular activities of the de- 
partment is given below: 


Circulating collections of natural history specimens have 
been lent to the public schools of Greater New York, as has 
been done since 1904. These collections include 
practically everything called for in the course of 
nature study, and there are thousands of boys and 
girls in the schools of New York City who would have no other 
opportunity to see and to handle such natural history objects. 
More pupils are reached through this branch of the work of 
the department than through any other. 

All specimens in the circulating collections, except those of 
insects, have been prepared so that they can be removed from 
the cases and actually handled by the pupils. That the privilege 


Circulating 
Collections 


3 54 Report of the President 


of touching the specimen by the pupil adds to its teaching value, 
is practically the unanimous opinion of the teachers who use 
the material from the Museum. On the other hand, the neces- 
sary wear and tear resulting from the handling incur an added 
expense to the Museum in keeping certain collections, such as 
mounted birds, in good condition. However, in the case of the 
birds, when the number of years that many of the specimens 
have been in circulation and the number of times that they have 
been handled by the pupils have been considered, the results 
are not discouraging. However, on account of more and more 
stringent laws regulating the collecting of native birds, the de- 
partment may be forced to put its loan collections under glass, 
so that they can not be handled by the pupils. 


The loan collections have been increased by the issue of an 

improved edition of the series of public health charts entitled 

“The Spread and Prevention of Communicable 

ae Health Disease.” Heretofore these had been prepared 

by a photographic process, while the new charts 

are in printed form, lighter in weight, more attractive in appear- 
ance, and it is thought they will prove to be more durable. 

The Rockefeller Institute requested four sets of these charts 
for use in war work in France. Four sets of eleven charts each 
were prepared without captions so that French captions could 
be substituted. These, together with one complete set of fifteen 
charts with English captions, were presented by the Museum 
to the Rockefeller Institute.

Lantern Slides for Schools 55 


The loan collections prepared for the public libraries of New 
York have been in constant circulation. They have been dis- 
played in children’s rooms and in reference 
The Museum and departments, and have not only added inter- 
een est to the reading of books on natural his- 
tory and geography, but have stimulated 
codperation between libraries, the public schools and the Mu- 
seum. They include specimens, models, mounted prints, labels 
and maps, and have been placed on exhibition largely through 
the codperation of the Department of Anthropology. The ma- 
terial is loaned for a period of one or two months, and is car- 
ried to the library and returned by the Museum messenger. It 
is installed, however, by the librarian in charge. 

Five of the libraries of the City that have not heretofore 
been in touch with the Museum have borrowed circulating ex- 
hibits during the year 1917. The library of San Antonio, 
Texas, and the Utica, New York, Public Library have also re- 
ceived loans of photographs and specimens. In all, 26,802 chil- 
dren and 2,578 adults have studied the exhibits. 


During this year, the lending of lantern slides to the public 
schools has increased more than 66 per cent. 
This encouraging result is doubtless partly due 
to the equipment of more schools for the use

The file of lantern slides available for teachers contains 20,- 
goo slides. The slides in greatest demand during the past year 
illustrated (1) Industrial subjects, (2) Natural History, (3) 
Historical subjects, (4) Geographical subjects. Those which 
we have prepared in regular sets, each accompanied by a book- 
let of notes, were much more in demand than individual slides 
or slides in groups. There are now fourteen of these prepared 
lectures available. 


56 Report of the President 


Courses of lectures for school children, planned to supple- 
ment the regular school work, were given during the spring 
and autumn. For a number of years, the lec- 
ee = tures to school children, which have been given 
chool Children . : i a 
in the Museum auditorium, have consisted of 
four courses in the spring and four courses in the autumn. A 
change was made this year in the autumn courses. Instead of 
four lectures a week, the same number of lectures was given, 
but they were arranged in two courses a week. Since it is a 
serious undertaking for a teacher to conduct a class to the 
Museum for a lecture and home during the rush hour, it was 
thought that teachers and pupils could attend a greater number 
of the lectures of the entire series if they did not occur so fre- 
quently. . 
Following is a summary of the Lecture Courses given during 
1917: Number

In addition to the above series, there have been held in the 
Museum, lectures under the auspices of the City Department 
of Education, the American Scenic and Historic Preservation 
Society, the New York Academy of Sciences and Affiliated 
Societies. 


Twice a year, during Regents’ Week im January and again 
in June, biology classes from various high schools of Greater 
New York come to the Museum with their 

Codperation with teachers for lectures and for definite labora- 
ee tory work in the exhibition halls. During the 
year, pupils from nine high schools were repre- 

sented, and laboratory work was done with Habitat Groups of 


North American Birds, North American Forestry, Public 


Education for the Blind 57 


Health, Insects, Habitat Groups of Reptiles and Amphibians, 
and in the Darwin Hall. 

On Saturday, January 20, a special exhibition of motion pic- 
ture film entitled “How Life Begins” was given, to which the 
teachers of Greater New York were invited. Dr. Fisher gave 
an introductory talk. The attendance was 527. 


Evening lectures for adults, lessons for the “sight classes” of 

the public schools, and loans of natural history specimens and 

relief globes of the world have constituted the 

on for Museum’s principal activities in its instruction 

for the blind. The course of study for the chil- 

dren consisted of a series of ten talks on natural science, geog- 

raphy and travel, industrial life and history. The teachers 

selected from three to five of the topics and came to the Mu- 
seum with their pupils during school hours. 

In the evening entertainments for the adult blind, an unusual 
experiment was made—a talk on “Wild Flowers of Summer,” 
by Dr. G. Clyde Fisher. The Museum foyer was filled with 
freshly gathered flowers. About 200 blind examined the blos- 
soms and leaves before hearing the lecture, and carried them 
home at its close. Through the courtesy of Mr. Lorillard 
Spencer, Jr., Mr. W. B. Holcombe and Mr. C. Elmore Smith, 
the Boy Scouts of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Richmond respec- 
tively, kindly acted as guides. 

The Jonathan Thorne Memorial Fund supports the educa- 
tion for the blind. It provides not only for the running ex- 
penses of the work, but it adds new equipment to that already 
in stock. Through it, this year, a tellurian, a loom for hand 
weaving, models of Indian homes and primitive instruments 
for fire-making have been purchased. 


Docent service is provided by the Department for teachers 
and classes visiting the Museum. This codperation is not lim- 
ited to the public schools, but is extended to in- 
clude the private and parochial schools, and it is 
not confined to Greater New York. Guides are also furnished 
for members of the Museum and their friends when requested. 
The calls from these various sources are frequent and the time 


Docent Service 


58 Report of the President 


required for this work is considerable. The constant demand 
for docents by teachers and classes and by Members of the 
Museum is an indication of the value of this kind of service. 
Several members of the department act as guides, and the ser- 
vice is free. 


The students in anthropology at Barnard continued their 
laboratory work in the Museum from January until the end of 
the college year in June. They studied the 
ed ep with Siberian, South Sea Island, Eastern Wood- 
arnard College ; : 
lands, Plains, Pueblo, North Pacific Coast, 
Peruvian and Mexican collections. The nineteen talks given 
by the Museum docent were arranged to supplement lectures 
on material culture, religion, and art. 


One sign of growth of the Museum as a whole is seen in the 
ever increasing demands for photographic work. Illustrations 
for scientific publications, for The American Mu- 
eae seum Journal, the Public Information Committee, 
newspapers, magazines and special writers, and 
lantern slides for the educational work of the Museum have 
fully occupied the time of our two photographers. 
The photographic department has made 1,547 negatives, 
3,526 lantern slides and 13,623 prints. 


The Museum’s collection of negatives has been increased dur- 
ing the year by 3,500 negatives from the Crocker Land Expe- 
dition. The Asiatic Zodlogical Expedition 
Reference File added 450 negatives, of which 128 were Paget 
me Buctee nhs color plates. Both the ordinary black and 
white negatives and the color plates of the 
Asiatic Expedition were made by Mrs. Yvette Borup Andrews, 
photographer of the expedition. The work of filing the nega- 
tives from these two expeditions, and the making, mounting 
and filing of the photographic prints from these negatives was 
in progress at the close of the year. The reference file now 
numbers 46,565 negatives and 63,818 photographs.

It was with regret that the department lost the services of 
Miss Kathryn I. Upson, Lantern Slide Librarian, who resigned 
in October. The position has been filled by 
Miss Virginia McGivney, a graduate of Bar- 
nard College who, through experience as a teacher in the New 
York City Schools, is fitted to assist in making the most effec- 
tive use of the slides. 


Changes in Staff 


During the year 1917, the department has had the codpera- 
tion of the following firms and individuals: Mr. Alfred W. 
Abrams, of the Division of Visual Instruc- 
tion, Department of Education, Albany, in 
lending lantern slides for use in lectures to school children; 
The New York Historical Society in permitting the use of 
books and in permission to photograph cuts, plates, etc., for 
lantern slides ; The Exhibitors’ Booking Agency in lending the 
motion picture films entitled “How Life Begins” for a special 
lecture to teachers; Mr. E. R. Sanborn of the New York 
Zoological Society in lending motion picture films of animals 
for use in a lecture to children of Members; Brown Brothers, 
Sarony, Inc., Janet M. Cummings and Collier's Weekly in 
lending photographs from which to make lantern slides.

The Curator returned to the Museum on August 27 after an 
enforced absence of more than two years in the Arctic, whither 
he was sent in July, 1915, in charge of the first relief 
ship despatched to Etah to bring home the Crocker 

and Expedition staff, property and collections. 
During the winter of 1915-1916, he prepared his report on the 
Heilprin Fund expedition to Martinique and St. Vincent as far 
as was possible without access to important publications needed 
for reference. As much time as practicable was occupied in

making observations on the geology and glaciers of the Green- 
land coast from Cape York to Etah, supplementing the studies 
made in the same region and beyond by Mr. W. Elmer Ekblaw, 
the geologist of the expedition staff. Important collections were 
made and many photographs taken. The long sledge journey 
outward in the spring of 1917, from Etah to Godhavn, Disko 
Island, gave the Curator an opportunity to add to his notes on 
the geology of the country. 


Many changes in the department have taken place during the 
long absence of the Curator. The practical or apparent aban- 
donment of the construction of a gallery in the 
Development of main exhibition hall has entailed radical changes 
the Department . Be RAE : 
in the possibilities of arrangement and installa- 
tion. One of the results has been the concentration of the thou- 
sands of type fossils of the James Hall and other collections in 
table cases, almost filling the center of the hall. 

Assistant Curator Reeds worked faithfully;and with ability 
in his care of the department during the Curator’s absence and 
he accomplished noteworthy results. I beg to quote from his 
departmental report upon the first eight months of 1917, while 
he was still in charge, as follows: 


The difficulties encountered in the rearrangement of the collec- 

tions were so numerous and the object and possibilities so indefinite 

that drawings to scale of two exhibition halls, show- 

Resets : ing a possible arrangement of cases and exhibits, 

of Exkibite. Were submitted by Assistant Curator Reeds as “The 

August 1, 1917, Plan.” An illustrated report con- 

cerning the features of this plan, called “The Revision of an Estab- 

lished Collection,” by Assistant Curator Reeds, was delivered on 
October 1. 


The rearrangement of the thousands of identified specimens ac- 
cording to the various biologic groups, a work which was started in 
ae 1916, was concluded by the end of February, 1917. 
Exuibiion This work permitted the assembling in small compass 
of all the specimens of an entire class or phylum. 
Furthermore, it enabled experts to work conveniently on their 
respective specialties. 


The Greene and McConathy Collections 61 


A carefully selected set of bryozoan specimens for the biologic 
series was identified and arranged by Dr. J. J. Galloway. The 
“types” of the Schrammen sponges from northwest Ger- 
many were systematically studied and arranged by Dr.- 
Marjorie O’Connell. She also prepared an extensive re- 
port entitled “The Structure and Classification of the Silicispongiz 
as illustrated by the Schrammen Collection in The American Mu- 
seum of Natural History.” For a few weeks during the summer 
Dr. Elvira Wood collected illustrative material for the new panel 
extensions to the table cases which contain type specimens. She 
also prepared a preliminary sketch of an exhibit, composed of 
specimens and models, demonstrating “Recapitulation in the Pele- 
cypoda.” 


Expert 
Service 


In March, work was started on a large model of a section of the 
Grand Canyon of the Colorado in the vicinity of Grand Canyon, 
Arizona. Portions of the Bright Angel and Vishnu topo- 
Grand graphic sheets of the United States Geological Survey were 
Canyon . 
Model ¢tlarged four diameters and serve as an excellent contour 
map for developing the various elevations. The shape of 
the model is irregular, owing to the hexagonal outline of the end 
of the upright case where it is to be installed. It is being built 
of wood in four sections in our laboratory. Two sections have 
been completed and a good beginning has been made on the third 
and fourth. Mr. Hill has been engaged on this work from the 
start, Mr. Brickner and Mr. Foyles for a part of the time. When 
the model is completed it is proposed to continue the topographic 
and geologic features of the model on a painted background—the 
whole to present a miniature picture of the region. 


A card catalogue of the labeled specimens in the department 
has been begun and fifteen thousand cards have 


Bt Coteloaue been typewritten. 


Our general meteorite collection, which is second if not first 
in rank in this country and is one of the four best 
collections in the world, is temporarily displayed in 
separate alcoves in our main exhibition hall. 


Meteorite 
Collection 


The most important accessions of the year have been the 
G. K. Greene and W. J. McConathy collections of invertebrate 
fossils, purchased in October. It has been estimated that the 


62 Report of the President 


Greene collection contains approximately 400,000 well pre- 
served specimens, chiefly corals from the Devonian reef at 
the Falls of the Ohio, opposite Louisville, Ky. The 
Museum is fortunate to have secured this collection, 
for it is one of the few fine collections of its kind 
in the United States. It represents the life work of one man 
and a large portion of that of his son. Approximately 500 
species have been described and figured in G. K. Greene’s “Con- 
tributions to Indiana Paleontology.” The types of these 
species form a valuable part of the collection. The W. J. 
McConathy collection also consists chiefly of fossil corals from 
the Falls of the Ohio, and numbers approximately 7,000 speci- 
mens. With the addition of these two collections, the Museum 
will become a Mecca for students in fossil corals. 

Other important accessions are: A series of beautifully pre- 
served Tertiary fossils from Santo Domingo; a 70-pound mass 
of telluric iron from Ovifak, Disko Island, Greenland; the 
main portion of the meteorite fall at Plainview, Texas; speci- 
mens of the Scott City, Kansas, and Cookville, Tennessee, 
meteorites.

Accessions 


The extension of the fifth floor over the stairway at the 
northern end of the south central wing early in 
the year provided much-needed space for a geologi- 
cal laboratory. 

In closing this report I desire to place on record my appre- 
ciation of the faithfulness and efficiency with which all the 
assistants employed in the department have discharged their 
various duties.

Biographical Sketch of Louis Pope Gratacap 
by Frederic A. Lucas 


In the death of Louis Pope Gratacap, which occurred on De- 
cember 19, 1917, the Museum lost not only its Curator of Min- 
eralogy but the Dean of its staff, for forty years a most loyal 
member of its force.

Louis Pope Gratacap 63 


Born in Brooklyn November 1, 1851, after passing through the 
public schools he entered the College of the City of New York, and 
following his graduation in 1869, took a special course in geology 
and mineralogy in the School of Mines, Columbia College, whence 
he was graduated in 1876. In October of that year he came to the 
Museum, then in the formative period of its existence and housed 
in the old Arsenal Building, hoping and working for a home of its 
own. He was made Assistant Curator of Mineralogy in 1880 and 
Curator in 1900, at which time he was also placed in charge of the 
shells, the two subjects being united in one department in 1gor, 
though separated at the time of reorganization in 1909. Thence, 
until the time of his death Mr. Gratacap held the two positions of 
Curator of the Department of Mineralogy and Curator of Mollusca 
in the Department of Invertebrate Zoology. 

His record of more than forty years of continuous service in one 
museum is probably surpassed only by that of Dr. D. S. Lamb in 
the Army Medical Museum, Washington, D. C. 

Mr. Gratacap was of French descent, and his precise and some- 
what formal mode of speech and courteous manner ever carried 
with them the suggestion of a gentleman of the old school. This 
was heightened by the fact that he was a fluent speaker and the 
master of an extensive vocabulary, comprising many words un- 
familiar to modern ears, and yet at the same time he was without 
the least trace of affectation—what might have seemed such in 
others was with him but the natural expression of a well-stocked, 
serious mind. He was just and fair-minded to the last degree— 
one of the few not the mark of unpleasant criticism—and almost 
the only man to my knowledge who ever expressed himself as con- 
sidering his services properly remunerated. Generous and chari- 
table, no one but himself will know how much help he gave to 
others, both of purse and personal assistance. 

He was a ready writer as well as a fluent speaker and the 
greater part of his evenings and other spare time was devoted to 
writing. While most of his books were of a serious character, 
dealing with philosophical, political or religious topics, yet among 
them were several works of what might be called scientific fiction, 
such as A Woman of the Ice Age and The Certainty of a Future 
Life in Mars. There is not at hand a complete list of his publica- 
tions, though one is being prepared by Dr. George F. Kunz, but 
aside from many scientific papers, including some on Museum his- 
tory and methods, he was the author of about twenty books. 

His love of neatness and order was reflected in the collections 
under his charge, which were left in most excellent condition. He 


64 Report of the President 


took a special interest in matters relating to the instructive display 
of minerals and shells, was ever looking for opportunities to better 
the exhibits and ever ready to listen to suggestions for their im- 
provement. Always prompt and punctilious in official matters, what 
has proved to be his last reports on the departments in his charge 
were handed in a few days before his untimely death. 


Annual Report of Curator Gratacap 


The collection of minerals has attained a development which 
embraces its popular usefulness in those aspects of beauty and 
striking phenomena which appeal most naturally to the general 
public, and also in no small measure it has expanded in the 
acquisition of material of scientific significance. These two 
directions of growth are naturally related, even if divergent. 
They might prove mutually exclusive, if preponderance were 
allowed to one over the other, and the choice between them 
might easily incline toward securing specimens solely of ex- 
traordinary character, which, from size and perfection, elicit 
wonder or admiration. Quite usually such specimens would 
represent the better known minerals, and an emphasis of this 
sort would rob the collection of its eclectic value. It would 
disappoint an increasing attendance of students, for whom the 
collection is valued chiefly, because of its educational impor- 
tance. 

The collection has acquired more than 5,000 specimens since 
its instalment in the Morgan Hall, and these are fairly well 
distributed as regards their character over the twofold fields 
of interest. This comprehensiveness was already fully insti- 
tuted in the original Bement Collection, which is its nucleus. It 
is not, however, always easy to guide expenditures, under neces- 
sary restrictions of resources, so as fairly to balance the claims 
of Science and Popularity. Rare or new species of minerals 
of intrinsic interest are quite frequently unattractive in appear- 
ance, and yet, if purchased, may prove expensive acquisitions. 
Unusual examples of common minerals command good prices, 
and specimens of phenomenal brilliancy excite competition and 
reach prohibitive values. The Museum Collection of Minerals 
depends for its growth almost wholly upon purchases, having 
at present no patron to augment it, and it is also deprived of the 


Minerals and Gems 65 


sources of increase that might be found in the activities of a 
mineral or geological survey. Still, under such limitations, it 
has, quite surely, increased in interest, in importance, and in 
mineralogical celebrity and beauty. But the reflection is obvi- 
ous that in all these years the collection has simply grown, and 
the time may now be considered imminent when the Depart- 
ment should be strengthened by progressive and original scien- 
tific research. 

It seems imperative on this account to call attention to the 
development that might be expected, might, let me add, be 
required. The Curator has previously called attention to the 
importance of providing, in the planned additions of the new 
buildings, a chemical laboratory, in which should be provided 
instruments for optical and physical observations. It is these 
necessary adjuncts, with the provision of skilled workers, that 
would enormously expand the influence of this superb collec- 
tion, and gather to it the scientific exhilaration and distinction 
which now it unfortunately lacks, and will lack, unless such 
steps are contemplated. 

Problems of the most varied and interesting character in the 
mineral world, associated too with practical, with utilitarian 
questions, could receive attention, and immediately, in our 
neighborhood, the still unsolved perplexities of zeolitic deposi- 
tion, in the traps and pillow-lavas of New Jersey, the genesis 
and mineral associations of the Pegmatites of Connecticut, the 
constitution and precise reference of the Serpentines, and the 
mineral make-up of the Cretaceous Marls would challenge de- 
bate and study, while within the treasures of the collection 
itself, remain, unsolicited, examples of rare crystallographic 
novelty. 

More theoretical and abstract lines of interrogation into Na- 
ture’s mineral laws might ensue, with experiments in the realm 
of the artificial production of minerals, in electric furnaces. 
Supplementing these features would follow lectures, instruc- 
tions, and a more responsive, profitable and enthusiastic invo- 
lution of the energies of the New York Mineralogical Club, 
with a wider suffrage and recognition among our citizens for 
the collection and its aims. Of all this I feel confident. The 
prospect enlarges with each review of its possibilities, but the 


66 Report of the President 


present Curator cannot, could not, assume or prepare its reali- 
zation. This is a frank statement, frankly considered, frankly 
presented. 

The collection has been enriched this year by additions of 
very handsome minerals, while the crowding overflow, in the 
drawers, offers convincing testimony to the increasing wealth 
of its contents. A striking, possibly a unique, strip of Moun- 
tain Leather from Korea (now attached to the north wall) ; a 
large Amalgam from Mexico; superb cubical Cuprite, partially 
reduced to metallic Copper, from Arizona; some wonderfully 
developed Pyrites, extraordinary in size, and rich in faces, from 
Colorado; a Pollucite mass from Maine; a few exquisite Ru- 
bellites from California; a polished translucent slab of Cali- 
fornite (Vesuvianite) ; an Antimony mass (100 pounds) from 
Kern County, California (secured through the Director’s 
Fund) ; beautifully tufted Calamine from Colorado ; a wonder- 
ful Scheelite crystal from Sonora, Mexico; a Sphalerite slab, 
crystallized, from Colorado; rich lemon brown crystals of 
Barite in a large group from England; immense Betafites from 
Madagascar ; some large Halites from Stassfurt; a very ornate 
group of Apophyllite from Poonah, India, and a gem-mass of 
Chrysoprase from California, are, amongst a great many other 
additions (see Accessions), worthy of especial emphasis. 

The collection of “Unclassified Minerals,’ those commonly 
found in the successive Appendices to Dana’s “System of Min- 
eralogy” or in publications more recent, has reached large pro- 
portions and demands public exhibition. 

The perennial value of the Bruce Endowment is acknowl- 
edged, the generosity of the General Appropriation, and the 
helpful financial assistance of the Director. 

The additions mentioned above yield, upon analysis, the fol- 
lowing result: 


Gifts: and. xehanges: os aac c cetera ee ae 3,447

The more costly specimens were secured with the Bruce 
Fund, and in several instances the generous assistance of the 
Director’s Fund has proved invaluable. 


Murals for Forestry Hall 67 


WOODS AND FORESTRY* 


» Mary CyNTHIA DICKERSON, Curator 


There has been installed on a pedestal near the great red- 
wood section in the Forestry Hall the bronze bust of Professor 
Charles Sprague Sargent, who brought together the Jesup Col- 
lection of North American Woods exhibited in the hall. The 
bust was executed by Mr. C. S. Pietro. 

The quarter-size sketch prepared by Mr. Hobart Nichols for 
a mural decoration at the east end of the hall has been accepted. 
It shows a sunny woodland interior opening out into a 
distant view of forested hills and mountains, at the 
season when the first hint of autumn coloring tinges the land- 
scape. It promises to put into the hall what will be, first, a 
satisfaction to the love of the beautiful in us all; second, an 
invitation to visit the enchantment of the original woodland and 
country-side ; and, third, an exemplification of the greatest for- 
estry principle, namely, that all steep slopes of the highlands of 
our country should be kept forested in order that the flow of 
streams may be equalized and floods and droughts minimized. 

The work of the artist, Mr. Milton D. Copulos, has added 
very beautiful leaf, flower and fruit sprays to the hall. Among 
the new sprays are the laurel oak (Quercus imbri- 
caria), black jack oak (Quercus Marilandica), post 
oak (Quercus minor), gray birch (Betula populifolia), Bilt- 
more ash (Fraxinus Biltmoreana), black maple (Acer nigrum), 
and the large-leaved cucumber-tree (Magnolia macrophylla). 
This last specimen, a spray with flower and leaves of record 
size, is So monumental a piece of work that it will be exhibited 
in a special case. 

The large hopes at the beginning of the year that progress 
might be made in the alcove forestry exhibits, planned to show 
reforestation, forest fires, etc., have come to little because of 
the demands of war. Mr. Barrington Moore, Associate Cura-

EXISTING INVERTEBRATES * 


Henry Epwarp CRAMPTON, Curator 


In the last month of the year, the Department and the Mu- 
seum suffered an irreparable loss through the death of Mr. 
Louis P. Gratacap, Curator of Conchology. Mr. Grata- 
cap’s devoted service of more than two score years and 
his patient and time-consuming labor for the development of 
the shell collections of the Museum call for the fullest and sin- 
cerest tribute. 

At the beginning of the year Mr. Roy W. Miner and Dr. 
Frank E. Lutz were made Associate Curators. Mr. J. F. Con- 
nolly, a laboratory assistant, has entered the National Army. 


Staff 


On account of the disturbed conditions throughout America 
and the world, field work in invertebrate zodlogy has been con- 
fined to near-by areas, or has been carried on 
Research and with direct reference to exhibition purposes, 
Publication : i 
while special efforts have been directed toward 
research and publication. The Curator’s volume on the Par- 
tule of Tahiti, published by the Carnegie Institution of Wash- 
ington, appeared in January, as the first in the series on 
the variation, distribution and evolution of the genus; consid- 
erable progress has been made on the second and third volumes. 
Mr. Miner, ably assisted by several members of the preparation 
room staff, spent several weeks at the Biological Laboratory at

Shell Collections 69 


Woods Hole, Massachusetts, securing material and sketches 
for a projected group which will exhibit the fauna and flora of 
the Sound bottom. Mr. Miner is continuing the work on the 
synonymy and bibliography of the American Myriapods. Dr. 
Van Name has practically completed his monograph on the 
West Indian Ascidians, which covers also the forms of related 
territories such as southern United States and Bermuda; this 
research is a valuable contribution to the work of the Museum, 
in connection with the Biological Survey of Porto Rico in 
cooperation with the New York Academy of Sciences. Pro- 
fessor G. A. MacCallum is engaged in studying the parasites 
collected by the Congo Expedition, and has already submitted 
for publication a paper on “A Trematode Parasitic in Ele- 
phants.” A paper entitled “On the Anatomy of the Leech 
(Ozobranchus branchiatus Menzies),”’ by W. G. and G. A. 
MacCallum, is also in press and will appear shortly. Dr. Lutz 
has collected a large amount of material with special reference 
to the needs of exhibition work and has also made substantial 
progress in the study of North American bees of the group 
Apoidea. Mr. Mutchler has continued his able studies on the 
Coleoptera of Florida and the West Indies. Mr. Watson has 
devoted considerable time to the securing of illustrative ma- 
terial on the life histories of Lepidoptera. Dr. Bequaert com- 
_ pleted during the year a large and important paper on African 
Vespide. As in former years, members of the New York En- 
tomological Society and other entomologists, notably Mr. B. 
Preston Clark, have continued their generous cadperation. 


Just prior to his death Curator Gratacap submitted an exten- 
sive report which included not only a statement of progress in 
conchology during the year but also an extensive 
analysis of its needs and purposes; the latter is espe- 
cially valuable, as it is based on his long retrospect 
of the history and development of his division. 

The work of Curator Gratacap during the year was restricted 
almost exclusively to labeling the study series of shells, the 
marine univalves and bivalves being entirely completed. The 
fresh-water shells, though still requiring some revision, are 
primarily classified and arranged. Some rare and beautiful

volutes have been added to the handsome collections- obtained 
from Mrs. Oldroyd, while the Oldroyd purchase of last year 
is distributed. Tentative arrangements have been under- 
taken for the amplification of the West Coast shell collections 
through the codperation of the Southwest Museum at Los 
Angeles. The D. Jackson Steward collection has been revised 
and steps have been taken to make its many duplicates available 
for exchange, in order to secure additional Philippine land 
shells. A few transparencies have been added to the series in 
the Hall of Shells, and, through the courtesy of the United 
States National Museum, two admirable photographs taken by 
Dr. Paul Bartsch have been secured which illustrate the habi- 
tats respectively of Cerion glans of the Bahamas and Helix 
(Cepolis) ovum-reguli of eastern Cuba. Mr. Gratacap had 
taken up also the difficult question of a general catalogue and 
had made plans for bringing it to completion. 


The Nahant Tide Pool Group, the most ambitious yet at- 
tempted, is nearing completion. Its construction has demanded 
the most careful work, in both field and laboratory, 
General of Mr. Miner and the members of the preparation 
Invertebrate : F 
Collections Staff, Mr. H. Mueller, Mr. S. Shimotori, Mr. C. E. 
Olsen and the late Mr. Ignaz Matausch. The work 
on the Bryozoa Group has been resumed and will be prosecuted 
vigorously during the year 1918. The projected group showing 
the associations at the bottom of Vineyard Sound has already 
been mentioned. Substantial progress has been made in the 
construction of individual exhibits for the synoptic series, with 
especial reference to the Alcove of Protozoa. Many Infusoria 
and two beautiful Radiolaria (Heliodrymus dendrocyclus and 
Tholospira dendrophora) are especially noteworthy and are 
particularly valuable for class instruction. Another important 
item is the flagellate Proterospongia haeckeli. Other protozoan 
models and two of nudibranch mollusks are well toward com- 
pletion, as is also a new panel to illustrate color inheritance in 
the “Four-o’clocks.” A phylogenetic chart of the animal king- 
dom is in preparation and will be particularly useful for the 
study of the synoptic series. The educational value of the 
Darwin Hall has greatly increased during the year; the hall

was used by 11,841 pupils of 449 classes from 185 institutions, 
as compared with 6,667 pupils of 244 classes from 130 institu- 
tions in 1914. Dr. Van Name has been most successful in 
consolidating the general collections of invertebrates, giving 
particular attention to the arthropods and urochordates. Inci- 
dentally, duplicate series of Porto Rico collections have been 
selected for the Porto Rican Government, and much work has 
been done on the invertebrates of the Congo collection. 


In an earlier paragraph the major work with insects and spi- 
ders has been described, and little needs to be added. The 
exhibits in the Hall of Insects have been amplified 
onde and so as to increase materially the educational value 
of the entire hall. The study collections have been 
used by numerous entomologists who have also contributed 
their services for the improvement of the collections. Mr. 
Mutchler’s work with Coleoptera and Mr. Watson’s with Lepi- 
doptera have been particularly noteworthy, while Mr. Wunder 
has continued to be invaluable as a laboratory assistant. On 
account of the large size of the groups in question, and also 
because of the variety and delicacy of the material, the princi- 
pal problems are concerned with the installation and care of the 
rapidly growing collections. 


While it is impracticable to enumerate all the valuable acces- 
sions of the year, the following may be noted. Among the 
general invertebrates are an extensive and important 
collection of Bryozoa, embracing many types, pre- 
sented by Professor Raymond C. Osburn of the Ohio State 
University; the series of myriapods and arachnids given by 
Mr. Howard J. Notman; models of trematode and cestode 
parasites secured by Professor Dean in Japan; a collection of 
invertebrates from Florida presented by Dr. W. G. Van Name, 
and by purchase a series of well prepared marine invertebrates, 
including a number of rare forms. The entomological acces- 
sions are numerous, though for the most part of small series of 
specimens. Among the larger and more important items are 
the series of 243 Lepidoptera, including some very rare speci- 
mens, given by Mr. B. Preston Clark; nearly a thousand speci-

The most notable fish placed on exhibition during 1917 is a

been hung, as though swimming, over the fish cases on 
the second floor and in such a manner that visitors can obtain 
an impressive view of it looking down from the gallery above. 
Work is in progress on two marine groups, the more important 
of these, nearing completion, a large Blue Shark accompanied 
by a brood of young. The introduction into a group of this 
nature of true light and color effects has been made the subject 
of careful study by Dr. Dean, and, as a result, a mirror simu- 
lating the ocean surface seen from below has been introduced

across the top of the case. A subsidiary group will show lesser 
characteristically pelagic fishes. 

As usual there have been additions in the cases of fishes 
arranged systematically and many labels have been printed, so 
that the entire exhibition of fishes is now adequately supplied 
with permanent labels. 


The installation of a new system of racks for the alcoholic 
collections necessitated the rearrangement of this entire ma- 
terial (more than 7,000 separately catalogued speci- 
Study mens) and corresponding revision of the reference 
Collections : : 
catalogue. This task has been completed, but certain 
improvements, notably in ventilation and lighting, will have to 
be made in the storage room before the collection reaches its 


maximum availability for study. 


Owing to war conditions, the department has not attempted 
to carry on field work during the past year. It should be men- 
tioned, however, that, during a short trip to Japan ~ 
in the spring, Dr. Dean was able to purchase sev- 
eral specimens of especial value to the department, and that Dr. 
Eastman, who left for South America in June primarily in the 
interests of the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology, has 
also been making collections of fishes as opportunity offered. 

In late March the Assistant Curator took advantage of an 
offer to accompany Mr. Herman Armour Nichols of Chicago on 
a three weeks’ cruise in southern Florida, as this afforded him 
the opportunity to further investigate certain problems relating 
to Ground Sharks (Carcharhinus) in which the department 
became interested during the preceding summer. This short 
trip proved well worth while, and its results have been pub- 
lished in the Museum Bulletin. 


Field Work 


The systematic report on the fresh-water fishes of the Congo 
Expedition, by Mr. John Treadwell Nichols and Mr. Ludlow 
Griscom, appeared in the Bulletin. It is doubtless 

ee end the most important paper on a collection of Afri- 
can fishes ever published. This marks the com- 

pletion of the necessary initial systematic study of the material, 
and it is hoped that a short paper, published later by Dr. East- 


74 Report of the President 


man on the “Dentition of Hydrocyon and its supposed Fossil 
Allies,” will be followed by similar ones of philosophic interest. 

During the past year, Dr. Dean’s “Bibliography of Fishes” 
has been the most important fish work the Museum has had on 
hand. Since Dr. Eastman’s departure for the field in June, 
editorial and compilation work on it have gone forward under 
Mr. Arthur W. Henn. Two volumes have been published 
during 1917. Volume I, Authors A-K, appeared in January, 
and Volume II, Authors L-Z, in June. Together these volumes 
comprise more than 1,400 pages and include more than 40,000 
titles. They represent the culmination of nearly twenty-five 
years of effort and have been made possible by the cooperation 
and assistance of ichthyologists in all parts of the world. They 
have already proven a storehouse of ichthyological knowledge 
in every aspect—in anatomical, embryological, paleontological, 
systematic, fish-cultural and other phases—and have been re- 
ceived with cordial appreciation by the foremost workers in 
science. Work on a final volume, which will constitute a classi- 
fied and subject index, facilitating rapid and convenient refer- 
ence to all the literature of any given subject relating to fishes, 
is in an advanced state of preparation and should be completed 
in 1918. 


At the outbreak of the war, the department expressed its 
desire to codperate in any way with the United States Bureau 
of Fisheries, and we note with pleasure that on one 
or two occasions a Bureau of Fisheries agent in 
New York has been able to settle here questions 
which must otherwise have been referred to Washington. Mr. ~ 
Russell J. Coles, a Life Member of the Museum and an enthu- 
siastic amateur ichthyologist, to whose activity in other years 
we owe the Manta model and many other specimens of scien- 
tific value, has interested himself during the past summer in 
the utilization of sharks and rays as food, keeping in close 
touch with the Bureau of Fisheries and also with this depart- 
ment.

The additions to the catalogued study collections for 1917 

total 2,651 specimens—372 batrachians and 2,279 reptiles, not 
counting the Nicaragua collection (about 2,500 

tons and specimens). Notable among these additions are 

xchanges : 

133 specimens from the work of the Museum’s 

Asiatic Zoological Expedition in high altitudes in Yunnan, 
China; 66 from John Graham, Yunnan; 36 from Manchuria, 
gift of Makoto Nishimura; 67 from high altitudes in North 
Carolina, gift of Morton L. Church; and many smaller collec- 
tions from South America and the American Southwest. 

Outstanding exchanges have been completed by shipments of 
material to the Institut de Butantan, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the 
California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco. Notable re- 
ceipts closing exchanges include 52 specimens from the 
Albany Museum, Grahamstown, South Africa; 10 from the 
Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge ; and several hun- 
dred specimens of Costa Rican and Colombian species, includ- 
ing 24 types described by Cope, from the Commercial Museum, 
Philadelphia. At the close of the year an exchange was ar- 
ranged with the British Museum, and several shipments of 
North American frogs will be sent within the next few weeks 
for use by Dr. Boulenger in his revision of the genus Rana. 

By temporary exchange or loan of material for mutual ad- 
vantage in special work during 1917, the department has co- 
operated with the following American institutions: the United 
States National Museum, Washington; the Museum of Zodl- 
ogy, University of Michigan; the Museum of Comparative 
Zoology, Cambridge; and the Field Museum of Natural. His- 
tory, Chicago. In addition, courtesies have been received in 
the shape of loaned collections for comparative study from the 
Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, and from the 
Brooklyn Museum. The most important of outgoing collec- 
tions loaned by the American Museum consists of our material 
from Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador and Chile, sent to Cambridge. 


76 Report of the President

and has been carrying on investigations on the Central and 
South American collections of the Museum. He

search begun on Peruvian reptiles at Cambridge. 
One paper has been published in the American Museum Bulle- 
tin on the status of certain representatives of Eleutherodac- 
tylus, Cerathyla and Hyla, with a contribution to the discussion 
of the importance of the terminal phalanges in classification. 
He has completed, ready for publication, a second paper cover- 
ing the amphibians of the Nicaragua Collection of the Museum. 
There is also on hand a completed paper on the snakes of the 
Nicaragua Collection by Clarence R. Halter, who was pre- 
vented from carrying out further work by a call to military 
service. A paper is ready for publication on the turtles, croco- 
diles and lizards of the Congo Collection of the Museum (1,593 
specimens, 52 species of 23 genera). Of the ten new forms 
described, 3 are geckos, 3 lacertids, 2 chamzleons, and I repre- 
sents a new genus of Crocodilia related to the West African 
Osteolemus. This work is in the hands of Mr. Karl P. Schmidt. 
Mr. Schmidt has also done the preliminary cataloguing and 
identification for a paper on the snakes of the Congo. 

Research on the reptile fauna of Lower California, in the 
hands of the Associate Curator, has led necessarily to a review 
of the reptile fauna of the Southwest, with critical study of 
distribution and revision of various genera of desert lizards. 
New species include three of Sauromalus, large chuckwallas 
related to the single species so long known from the Colorado 
Desert, and various island representatives of Sceloporus, Calli- 
saurus, etc. 

Much bibliographical work has been carried on in connection 
with research, forming records of permanent value to the de- 
partment and to herpetology.- The bibliographical work has 
been standardized in accordance with a system compiled from 
previous researches, including that recently carried out by the 
department of fishes of the Museum, and it will be brought 
together from the permanent card indexes for publication in the 
future by Messrs. Charles L. Camp, George K. Noble and Karl 
P. Schmidt. The Congo work has covered the cataloguing of

more than 890 titles on African herpetology, 2,500 cards; 
that on the American Southwest includes about 270 titles, 4,500 
cards; work on Asian herpetology has necessitated the cata- 
loguing of 300 titles, goo index cards; and miscellaneous work, 
500 titles, 600 index cards. Mr. Noble brings to this work a 
contribution in neotropical bibliography as follows: 382 titles, 
with 514 cards of new species of amphibians, 452 cards of new 
species of reptiles (post-Boulenger). Mr. Camp contributes on 
North American herpetology and morphological papers, about 
3,000 titles, 900 index cards. 

The 1917 publications include the paper by Mr. E. R. Dunn 
on the North Carolina mountain reptile and amphibian collec- 
tion in the American Museum, the field work for which was 
done in the summer of 1916. 


Progress has been made on small pieces of exhibition work 
such as the Florida Gopher Group and the New Zealand Sphe- 
nodon Group, but the major piece of exhibition on 
hand for 1917 has continued to be the Florida 
Group, started in the summer of 1916. This is now virtually 
completed. The work was delayed greatly by the many months 
of absence from the Museum and the death in October of Mr. 
Ernest W. Smith. Mr. Smith has done the main work of 
assembling in all the groups in the reptile series, under the 
direction of the Associate Curator, also supervising the tech- 
nique of assistants in the preparation of the masses of foliage. 
His death is a very great loss; there can scarcely be found any- 
where a man with his skill in this particular line of work. The 
Florida Group has been continued to completion by Mr. Fred- 
erick H. Stoll, expert wax modeler and colorist. The back- 
ground was painted by Mr. Hobart Nichols. 

The group is the largest yet attempted in the Museum, the 
foreground having an area of about 275 square feet, and the 
background of about 475 square feet. When we look at such 
a group completed, it is difficult to comprehend how vast has 
been the amount of fine exact reproduction of nature entailed; 
how involved the principles and details of the basic construc- 
tion and lighting to produce the effect of composition and per- 
spective; what attention to accuracy and finish has been nec-

essary to gain this illusion of the natural, even on closest 
approach. 

Like the other reptile and amphibian groups, this, on a larger 
scale, shows what can be accomplished with wax as a medium. 
The lifelike turtles, alligators, lizards, snakes, frogs and toads 
are but perfectly posed and colored casts from life—and, for- 
tunately, years have proved that such wax casts are permanent 
through all variations of heat and cold in the New York cli- 
mate. 

The group is not simple; it is very complex and shows many 
species and many individuals. In planning the various reptile 
groups in the American Museum, where space is so much an 
item to be considered, it has been the feeling of the depart- 
ment that enough was not accomplished when a group set forth 
one theme or one or two species of animals, or when it was 
made a beautiful picture only; but that it should be as highly 
educational as possible in number of forms portrayed, in life 
histories and habits and in adaptation to the given environment 
—even though this should mean sacrifice, to some extent, of the 
esthetic element, because of decreased simplicity. 

It is to be noted that the very beautiful little white herons 
of the group were obtained through exchange with the Louisi- 
ana State Museum at New Orleans. 

The color scheme of the group includes gray (varying to 
white) and green, enlivened by glimpses of red. There is the 
gray-white of lichen-grown tree trunks and knees, and of the 
hanging tillandsia, the summer green of sweet bay, myrtle, 
deciduous holly, and various tropical vines. On the river side 
of the group are white flowers of rare beauty belonging to the 
amaryllis family. In the center are the red, ripening berries of 
the holly and red lilies which grow commonly at this time of 
the year (early September) in the white sand among the saw 
palmettos. The field work for the group was done in the 
swamps and on the rivers within a radius of from twenty to 
sixty-five miles of Orlando, and all accessories and animals of 
the group are made directly from the living material. 

It is hoped that the group will prove instructive in presenting 
in their natural haunt the many and very unusual reptile and 
amphibian species of the southeastern United States. It is an 


The Florida Reptile Group 79 


accurate picture of the cypress swamps, which are rapidly dis- 
appearing through the effects of fire, lumbering, and the pres- 
ent movement for the drainage of the Florida swamp lands. 
It is hoped that, beyond these points, the group may succeed in 
giving one somewhat the rare experience that comes to the per- 
son who for the first time visits these unique swamps of our 
country. Reading and pictures have made us all familiar with 
the sand wastes, the turpentine pines, the palmettos, the 
prairies, the luxuriant vegetation along the rivers, the alliga- 
tors, the diamond-back rattlers. But the cypress swamp itself 
is a different matter,—we are not prepared for that. No pic- 
tures and no reading can carry the effect of that to the mind. 
It might be on another planet, so different is it from anything 
else on this globe. In visiting the sequoia forests of the Pacific 
Coast, we are filled with wonder at the magnitude of the trees; 
at the sight of certain cactus growths on mountain slopes in the 
Southwest, we may receive a thrill as though entering some 
dimly remembered garden of ancient gods ; but nothing has pre- 
pared us for the influence of the Florida cypress swamp in the 
full sunshine of afternoon. It is probably largely a matter of 
line and color. The lichen-white trunks, as austerely straight 
as the columns of a cathedral, gracefully curve outward at their 
fluted bases; these same curves are paralleled in the fantastic 
knees, while the broken canopy of branches above and the white 
trunks below are everywhere wreathed and festooned with 
swaying white tillandsia. The whole has a sculptural beauty 
as though carved out of living marble by some hand other than 
man’s. The group in relatively so small a space can do little, of 
course, toward reproducing the vastness and massiveness of the 
original, but it attempts to suggest the spirit of the unusual 
beauty of this part of our country. 

In addition to the work in herpetology, the editorship of 
The American Museum Journal has been carried. 


80 Report of the President 


MAMMALS AND BIRDS* 


J. A. ALLEN, Curator 


The work of this department was seriously interrupted dur- 
ing a large part of the year (1917) by the entry into the service 
of the United States of eight members of its staff, five of whom 
entered the training camp at Plattsburg, New York, in August, 
received commissions as lieutenants and were assigned to active 
duty at field camps in December. Curator Chapman entered the 
service of the American Red Cross in June, and was later made 
Director of its Bureau of Publications in Washington. The 
members of the staff who have entered the United States ser- 
vice, with their assignments, are: Mr. H. E. Anthony, Assis- 
tant in Mammalogy, Ist Lieutenant, Field Artillery ; Mr. James 
P. Chapin, Assistant in Ornithology, 1st Lieutenant, Infantry ; 
Mr. Leo E. Miller, Assistant in Ornithology, 1st Lieutenant, 
Aviation; Mr. Carlos D. Empie, Mammalogy, 2d Lieutenant, 
Infantry; Mr. Ludlow Griscom, Ornithology, 2d Lieutenant, 
Intelligence; Mr. Howarth S. Boyle, Ornithology, Naval Base 
Hospital. Mr. Harold K. Decker entered the United States 
Navy in September. 

Notwithstanding this handicap, the routine work of the de- 
partment has progressed steadily, and large accessions have 
been received from expeditions which were already in the field 
or organized for field work at the beginning of the year. 


The accessions have come mainly, as usual, from field expedi- 
tions, and have been important. Additions to the mammal col- 
lection comprise 2,600 specimens, of which 2,230 
have been received from Museum expeditions; 40 
by exchange, 160 by purchase and 175 by gift. The additions 
to the collection of birds number 3,950 specimens, of which 
about 3,000 were obtained through Museum expeditions, 413 by 
exchange with the Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires Museums, 294 
by purchase, and a few by gift. 


Accessions 


5 * Ooser the Department of Mammalogy and Ornithology (see also pages 28, 29 
and 194). 


Field Expeditions 81 


The American Museum Asiatic Zodlogical Expedition, under 

the leadership of the Assistant Curator of Mammals, Mr. Roy 

C. Andrews, left New York in March, 1916, for 

pele i: field work, mainly in the Province of Yunnan, 
xpeditions E ; 

China, and returned in October, 1917. As stated 
in the report of this department for 1916, Mr. Andrews was 
accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Yvette Borup Andrews, official 
photographer of the expedition, and by Mr. Edmund Heller, 
well known as an expert collector and explorer. The expedi- 
tion was eminently successful, obtaining 2,100 mammals, 800 
birds and 200 reptiles, 10,000 feet of motion picture film, and 
550 photographs, of which 150 are in natural colors. Collec- 
tions were made at localities varying from 1,500 to 15,000 feet 
above sea-level and extending from the Burma frontier to the 
borders of Tibet. The mammals include large series of gorals 
and serows, the shrew-like Hylomys and large numbers of 
rodents and insectivores, nearly all previously unrepresented in 
our collections. As much of the region traversed had not 
before been visited by collectors, it is probable that this mate- 
rial will be found to contain many undescribed forms. 

Mr. Waldron DeWitt Miller, Associate Curator of Ornithol- 
ogy, made a reconnaissance trip to Nicaragua, to familiarize 
himself with the physical conditions and the distribution of 
bird-life in that country, preparatory to the publication of a 
work on Nicaraguan birds, based on the large collections of 
birds made for the Museum by William B. Richardson in 1906- 
1909. As Mr. Miller was able to avail himself of Mr. Richard- 
son’s services as guide and assistant in his field work, he was 
successful in obtaining important results, both in the way of 
material and in first-hand knowledge of the faunal conditions. 
Mr. Miller’s collection of 1,500 specimens enables him to add a 
considerable number of species to the list of known N icaraguan 
birds. He was accompanied by Mr. Griscom of this depart- 
ment. 

The work begun in Porto Rico by Assistant H. E. Anthony 
in 1916 was this year extended to Cuba, where several months 
were spent in exploring caves for the remains of extinct mam- 
mals. Despite the revolutionary conditions then prevailing, 
which considerably hampered his work and brought it to an 


82 Report of the President 


early close, Mr. Anthony secured a large amount of fossil 
mammal material and incidentally collected 130 bats, represent- 
ing, in good series, most of the species known from the island. 

Mr. George K. Cherrie returned early in the year from his 
work along the Paraguay River, undertaken in extension of the 
work in that region by the Roosevelt Brazilian Expedition in 
1913-1914, of which Mr. Cherrie was a member. Colonel 
Roosevelt’s strong interest in this region as a rich field for 
ornithological investigation has been shown by his contribution 
of financial aid for Mr. Cherrie’s second visit, which was sup- 
ported by Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Cleveland H. Dodge. 
While Mr. Cherrie devoted his time largely to the study of the 
life-history of the striking bird life of the region, he also se- 
cured 750 specimens of birds to supplement his previous collec- 
tion, and also a number of mammals. 

The Crocker Land Expedition, under the direction of Mr. 
Donald B. MacMillan, returned toward the close of the year 
after an eventful sojourn of four years in Arctic America, 
where zoological as well as geographical and geological inves- 
tigations were successfully prosecuted, resulting in important 
additions of both mammals and birds to the resources of the 
Museum. 

The Museum’s share of the mammals collected on the 
Collins-Day Expedition to South America have been received, 
numbering 147 specimens, which, in accordance with the terms 
of agreement respecting the results of the expedition, have been 
identified and reported upon by Mr. Wilfred H. Osgood of the 
Field Museum. 

During the year the Brewster-Sanford Collection has been 
enriched by the addition of some 1,500 bird skins, of which 
about 1,000 were collected in the West Indies by Mr. Rollo H. 
Beck, after completing his several years of successful work in 
collecting pelagic birds along the coasts and islands of southern 
South America. The island of Santo Domingo, where he col- 
lected nearly 800 specimens and visited the high mountains of 
the interior as well as the coast district, proved of special inter- 
est, his collection containing several new forms, an account of 
which was promptly published by Curator Chapman in the 
current volume of the Museum Bulletin. 


Study Collections 83 


Dr. Dwight’s collection of birds, which, like the Brewster- 
Sanford Collection, is available for scientific research at the 
Museum, is increased by frequent accessions, which during the 
present year number 2,000 specimens, and is now, with a total 
of 47,000 specimens, by far the largest and most scientifically 
valuable collection of North American birds extant. 


The installation of the large number of metal storage cases 
mentioned in last year’s report has made it possible to re- 
arrange the research collections of both mammals 
Palais and birds through the additional storage facilities 
- thus provided; but lack of storage space is still a 
crying need, particularly for the proper installation of the 
osteological material, recently so greatly increased in amount 
and value through the immense accessions from the Congo 
Expedition. Storage space for the large mammal skins and 
skeletons is wholly inadequate, either for their safety or acces- 
sibility. 

Good progress has been made during the year in the reorgan- 
ization of the collection of mammals, chiefly under the direction 
of Assistant Anthony, and in the preparation of the larger 
skins, skulls and skeletons, mainly under the general super- 
vision of Mr. Lang, who reports that 1,290 skins have been 
tanned and that 3,764 skulls and skeletons have been cleaned 
and made ready for study. The work is progressing rapidly 
and with satisfactory results, but will require several months 
more for its completion. The cataloguing of the recent acces- 
sions is well advanced, and the index catalogue is kept well 
abreast of the serial catalogue entries and the identification of 
the material. 


The three large mammal groups placed on exhibition during 
the year are a Virginia Deer Group, an African Red Monkey 
Group, and a South American Spider Monkey 
Group. The Hall of Primates is being rearranged, 
and important desiderata have been supplied toward the com- 
pletion of the Synoptic Hall of Mammals. A Newfoundland 
Dog, the gift of Mr. J. Alpin Graydon, has also been mounted 
for exhibition. 


Installations 


84 Report of the President 


The Curator has concentrated his available time for research 
upon the Congo collection of mammals. The identification of 
the bats, begun in 1916, was concluded early in 
Research and jo17, and a report upon them, in codperation 
Publication . . 
with Messrs. Lang and Chapin, has been pub- 
lished in the Museum Bulletin, forming an article of about 159 
pages, illustrated with drawings by Mr. Chapin and field photo- 
graphs by Mr. Lang; about one-half of the text consists of a 
systematic list of the species, the ecological and field notes by 
Messrs. Lang and Chapin constituting the remainder and form- 
ing an important contribution to the bionomics of the subject. 
Later a paper was prepared and published by the Curator on 
the remarkable skeletal characters of a peculiar shrew (Scuti- 
sorex Thomas) based on a fine series of specimens in the 
Lang-Chapin collection. This is followed in the Bulletin by 
a paper based on the same material by Dr. H. von W. Schulte, 
on the lumbar vertebre of Scutisorexr. A report on the Insec- 
tivores of this collection has been prepared and awaits publi- 
cation, and a report on the Sciuromorphs is nearly finished. 

Mr. Anthony, on returning from field work in Cuba, re- 
sumed the elaboration of his Porto Rico material, the results 
of his investigations being already in press as a contribution to 
the Museum Memoirs, under the title “The Land Mammals of 
Porto Rico, Living and Extinct.” The subject is treated mono- 
graphically, and, illustrated with numerous excellent text fig- 
ures and plates, forms an important contribution to science, 
based mainly on the author’s personal explorations in Porto 
Rico. Mr. Anthony has also published during the year three 
preliminary papers in the Bulletin on the same general sub- 
ject. 

Curator Chapman’s account of his work in Colombia, an- 
nounced in last year’s report as in press, was published in 
November, under the title ‘“The Distribution of Bird-Life in 
Colombia; A Contribution to a Biological Survey of South 
America,” and forms Volume XXXVI of the Museum Bul- 
letin. It comprises 740 pages of text, numerous maps and other 
text illustrations and forty-one plates, of which six are colored, 
the remainder being half-tones from field photographs illus- 
trating the topographic features and faunal conditions of the 


Research and Publication 85 


extensive areas traversed by the Museum’s expeditions. Fol- 
lowing an historical account of previous work relating to the 
ornithology of Colombia, and detailed itineraries of the eight 
Museum expeditions (1910-1915) in that country, resulting in 
the addition to the Museum’s resources of nearly 16,000 birds 
and 1,600 mammals, the author discusses the life zones and 
faunas of Colombia, with special reference to the Colombian 
Andes, to which the expeditionary work was mainly restricted. 
The bird-life characteristic of each is listed, while a map in 
colors shows their extent and relationships, and another colored 
map shows the distribution of forested and unforested districts. 
Part II (pp. 170-639) is systematic, and entitled “A Distribu- 
tional List of the Birds Collected in Colombia by the American 
Museum’s Expeditions,’ numbering 1,285 species and sub- 
species. This comprises not only a detailed record of localities 
and number of specimens for each of the forms, but citations 
of their previous records for Colombia, with often technical 
comment on their status and relationships. An appendix con- 
tains a “Gazetteer of Colombian Collecting Stations,” with a 
map showing their location, the routes followed by the Ameri- 
can Museum’s expeditions and the localities at which collec- 
tions were made. This feature will be a boon to future work- 
ers on Colombian zodlogy. This volume is thus an important 
contribution not only to Colombian ornithology but to zodgeog- 
raphy, and an enviable monument to the author who has de- 
voted the last five years to South American ornithological ex- 
ploration, greatly to the credit of the American Museum. 

Mr. Chapin’s paper on “The Classification of the Weaver- 
Birds,” published in May, is the fourth prepared by him on 
the ornithological results of the Congo Expedition. Other 
ornithological papers from this department are Mr. Leo E. 
Miller’s field notes on the Cowbirds (Molothri) of Argentina, 
and Curator Chapman’s on Mr. R. H. Beck’s collection of birds 
from Santo Domingo (for the Brewster-Sanford Collection), 
describing three new species, with comment on others of special 
interest. In this connection mention should be made of the 
description of a new Albatross by Mr. Robert Cushman 
Murphy, based on material in the Brewster-Sanford Collection. 
Mr. George K. Cherrie has been engaged in the preparation of 


86 Report of the President 


his report on the birds of the Roosevelt South American Ex- 
pedition, which is nearing completion. 

An elaborate paper by Dr. H. von W. Schulte on the skull 
of Kogia breviceps, based on the material of this department, 
has been published in the Bulletin. 

The publications of the department in the current volume of 
the Bulletin (Vol. XXXVII) comprise 11 papers, aggregating 
305 pages, 32 plates, and 45 text figures. Seven of the papers 
relate to mammals and four to birds; they were contributed by 
eight authors, of whom six are official members of the depart- 
ment staff.

EXTINCT VERTEBRATES* 


Henry FarrFiELD Osporn, Honorary Curator 
W. D. MatrHew, Curator 


For reasons connected with the entrance of the United States 
into the world war, it was considered advisable to postpone the 
usual field work for the season of 1917. Preparation and re- 
search were continued during the year. 

Further progress has been made in the preparation of the 
great collection of Cretaceous dinosaurs from Alberta and 

Montana. One complete and two partial skele- 

Nee Dinosaur tons of a new type of duck-billed dinosaur Pro- 
xhibits : 

cheneosaurus have been finished; a skeleton of 

a great carnivorous dinosaur and a second and very fine one of 

Corythosaurus, besides two skulls of Stephanosaurus and two 

incomplete skeletons of Hypacrosaurus, are in preparation. All

these, save the carnivorous dinosaur, belong to the group 
known as duck-billed dinosaurs, of which until a few years ago 
only a single kind was known. 

The skeleton of the giant Tyrannosaurus has been removed 
from its temporary place in the Hall of the Age of Man and 
installed in the Dinosaur Hall, where it properly belongs. 


The skeleton of the clawed ungulate Moropus has been 
mounted and placed in the center of the Tertiary Mammal 
Hall. This is a remarkably fine skeleton of 
a very curious and hitherto very rare animal. 
Others will be added later to form a group. 


Moropus Skeleton 


The fossil camel alcove has been revised and improved by 
the addition of a series of skulls and partial skeletons illus- 
trating the evolution of this family in North 
America and its later migration to the Old World 
and to South America, where the camels and llamas still sur- 
vive although they have become extinct in their old home. 


Fossil Camels 


In the Hall of the Age of Man, the skeleton of a glyptodont 
or tortoise armadillo Lomaphorus has been added to the series 
of extinct animals of South America. It is an 
[ae a interesting example of the great changes in the 
internal framework of these animals resulting 
from the massive turtle-like shell that covered them, and from 
their peculiar habits of life. 


The most attractive feature of this hall will be the series of 
fine mural paintings by Mr. Charles R. Knight, gift of Mr. 
J. P. Morgan. The first of these has been com- 
pleted, representing a Pleistocene Life Scene of 
northern Europe, contemporary with prehistoric man. The 
animals shown, mammoth and reindeer, are especially charac- 
teristic of the Glacial Period of Europe, and are represented in 
the arctic environment to which they were adapted. A second 
mural, representing a Pleistocene Life Scene in North Amer- 
ica, is well advanced. It shows in their natural surroundings 
the great American Mastodon, the extinct long-horned bison

and native horse, characteristic prehistoric animals of the Mid- 
dle West. Preliminary studies have been made and approved 
for the remaining murals in this hall. 


A skeleton of the great long-jawed mastodon Megabelodon 
has been purchased from the discoverer, Captain E. L. Troxell, 
and will be restored and mounted in the series 

See ec of fossil Proboscideans. The Megabelodon 
was an animal equaling the great American 

Mastodon in bulk but having shorter legs and greatly elongated 
jaws. It inhabited North America during the Pliocene epoch. 


A number of important specimens of the very primitive 

mammals of the oldest Tertiary formations have been prepared, 

especially the skeletons of Ectoconus and 

The Oldest Pantolambda, skull of Tritsodon and remains 
Tertiary Mammals : : : ; 

of various new or rare species of minute size. 

These specimens are of great scientific interest as they throw 


much light upon the origin and early evolution of the mammals. 


The postponement of field expeditions has notably increased 
the amount of research work in the department. An important 
book published by Professor Osborn, ‘The 
Origin and Evolution of Life on Earth,” dis- 
cusses the broader evolutionary problems in the light of recent 
researches, especially in biochemistry and allied subjects, pre- 
senting new or little considered aspects of evolutionary theory. 
Professor Osborn has in press a revision of the later Tertiary 
fossil horses marking the completion of an important stage in 
his studies on the Evolution of the Horse. He has likewise 
continued his monographic revision of the sauropodous dino- 
saurs, assisted by Dr. Mook, and has the monograph upon the 
Titanotheriide nearly ready for the press. Dr. Matthew and 
Mr. Granger have continued or completed various studies upon 
fossil mammals, Mr. Brown upon dinosaurs, and Dr. Gregory 
upon the primates (monkeys and lemurs) and upon the very 
ancient reptiles of the Permian period. Some results of these 
various researches are contained in eight articles in the Mu- 
seum Bulletin; the greater part are not yet in shape for pub- 
lication.

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY 
IrRoguoIs Bone Comes 


Specimens from the Hildburgh Collection. Presented by Dr. Walter L. Hildburgh 


Acquisitions in Anthropology 89 


EXISTING AND EXTINCT RACES OF MEN* 


CLARK WISSLER, Curator 


An unusually large number of valuable collections was do- 
nated during the year, the full list of which will appear under 
io the appropriate head. Among these is a large 
Acquisitions e1d collection by Dr. T. Mitchell Prudden from 
prehistoric ruins in the Mesa Verde District, Colorado. Dr. 
Prudden is noted for his scientific studies in Southwestern 
anthropology, in the course of which this collection was 
brought together. It is thus of the greatest scientific value. 
Also of great importance is a rich series of archeological speci- 
mens from Iroquois sites in western New York State donated 
by Dr. W. L. Hildburgh, an anthropologist of note. This col- 
lection was made by the donor and is accompanied by the orig- 
inal catalogue. Mrs. E. H. Harriman presented a remarkable 
coat of marten skins collected among the natives of Alaska in 
1899. Our Tibetan collections were enriched by Mrs. William 
Tod Helmuth’s gift of a rare carved Lamanistic belt and apron 
and Mrs. Florence Magee’s presentation of one of the earliest 
known promissory notes issued in Lhasa. In this connection 
may be mentioned Mr. Marshall C. Lefferts’ fine collection of 
Japanese armor mounted on effigies ready for exhibition. Our 
somatological collections have been enriched by gifts of Santa 
Barbara skulls from Mr. R. G. Hazard, five hundred skin and 
hair samples from Professor T. W. Todd, and a mummified 
body from New Mexico by Captain S. M. Strong. Mr. William 
W. Heaton presented a series of Lake Dweller specimens from 
Lake Geneva; Mr. Henry Hornbostel a large series of photo- 
graphic studies in Maya architecture; and an ethnological col- 
lection from Colombia was presented by the Honorable Luis 
Febres Cordero, Governor of the Department of North San- 
tander, Colombia. 
Among the important purchases from the Jesup Fund were 
a fine wampum belt from the Iroquois Indians, a large collec-

tion of baskets from the Chitimacha and other southern tribes, 
a particularly fine series of baskets from the Mission Indians 
of Southern California, a large series of prehistoric pottery 
from certain ruins in Arizona, a collection of fine swords and 
knives from Java, a rare and unusual sacred Tibetan book, a 
general collection of stone implements from western Europe, a 
collection of skeletons from the Canary Islands, and a number 
of unusual pieces of tapa cloth from Hawaii and Samoa. 


Several important advances have been made in the develop- 
ment of our exhibition units. For one, we have placed upon 
view the initial exhibit of somatic, or racial, 
characters peculiar to man. The fundamental 
plan for the development of our anthropologi- 
cal halls, which has governed our entire activities for a number 
of years, contemplates a comprehensive presentation of primi- 
tive cultures upon a geographical basis, by culture areas, each 
of which is to be supplemented by a somatological exhibit of 
the peoples themselves. The first unit of this series is a demon- 
stration of principles in somatic classification, where, in com- 
pact and attractive form, Mr. Sullivan made a new and 
original presentation of the subject. With the labels and dia- 
grams, this exhibit is a small illustrated handbook of physical 
anthropology. The greater part of the past year has been given 
to working out the units to accompany the culture area exhibits 
of North America. Of these, the one for the Plains Indians 
is about ready for installation. 

The rearrangement of the Asiatic Hall, which was reported 
last year, has proceeded to the revision of the Chinese indus- 
trial collections. It now remains to work over the bronze and 
pottery exhibits to complete this undertaking. The remainder 
of the hall is given over to the wilder folk of Siberia. Some 
additional casing is necessary here to bring the arrangement 
up to the standard set by the Chinese section. During the early 
part of the year Associate Curator Lowie worked out the gen- 
eral tribal labels for the Siberian peoples, and later Mr. Spier 
prepared labels and details of arrangement for the tribal ex- 
hibits of the Chukchee and Koryak. 

Important additions have been made to the archeological

exhibits. In the North American section, Mr. Spier installed 
a demonstration of results from inquiries into the antiquity of 
man at Trenton, New Jersey. Further, a section showing the 
prehistoric cultural characters of New England was completed. 
In the prehistoric section of the Southwest Hall, Assistant 
Curator Nelson installed an exhibit of Mimbres pottery from 
New Mexico. The Jesup North Pacific Hall is nearing com- 
pletion. One great improvement has been brought about by 
concealing the ornate pillars supporting the ceiling behind 
totem poles and similar architectural features of native art. 
This more than any one change in the hall gives the final ethnic 
touch to the whole exhibit. 

Another advance is in the arrangement of our study collec- 
tions. A room on the storage gallery has been equipped for the 
use of special students, college classes, and members of the 
staff engaged in the intensive study of our collections. It has 
also been necessary to give additional space on the office floor 
to students of design and to the work of Mr. Crawford. 


A group representing the Apache Indians was formally opened 
in May. This was designed as a companion to the Hopi group. 
It depicts the life of the semi-nomadic peo- 
ples of Southwestern United States in contrast 
to the more sedentary peoples of which the Hopi 
areatype. The artists were Mr. Howard McCormick and Mr. 
Mahonri M. Young. The painted background represents a sec- 
tion of landscape on the San Carlos River near Rice, Arizona, 
reproduced here from sketches made upon the ground. The 
lighting system for the Hopi group was completely revised dur- 
ing the year and some small alterations made in the accessory 
construction. As now presented, the group is lighted as it 
would appear in the afternoon sunshine. 

The plans for a Navajo group have been developed, in the 
background for which typical cliff ruins will appear. The pre- 
liminary construction is in place and it is contemplated that the 
background will be completed during 1918. 

The murals for the Jesup North Pacific Coast Hall now 
occupy the two side walls, and it is expected that during 1918, 
the artist, Mr. Will S. Taylor, will begin on the large end

panels. Mr. Edwin W. Deming has submitted two large can- 
vases for the side walls of the Plains Indian Hall. 


Only minor collecting trips were made this year. The chief 
activities were at Aztec, New Mexico, where Mr. Earl H. 
Morris continued the systematic excavation and re- 

Field ir of standing walls in the large pueblo ruin noted 


were donated by Mr. Archer M. Huntington. A large portion 
of the ruin was uncovered and a fine series of specimens se- 
cured. Among these are thousands of pieces of worked tur- 
quoise and some unique examples of turquoise inlay. The pot- 
tery received contains the finest examples of black-and-white 
ware yet found in the Southwest. 

Late in the summer, Assistant Curator Nelson made an 
inspection trip to Aztec and incidentally visited the lower bor- 
ders of the Rio Grande pueblo area to get final data for the 
installation of a chronological exhibit in our Southwest Hall. 
Mr. Nelson traveled approximately four thousand miles on 
foot and by horse, visiting practically every ruin in that part 
of the country. While more exploration is desirable to com- 
plete our knowledge, the essential chronological steps in the 
development of pueblo culture are now evident. These will 
soon be demonstrated in our Southwest Hall. Further, in con- 
nection with the installation of the Zufi chronological exhibit, 
it became necessary for Mr. Leslie Spier to return to Arizona 
for additional data. The results of this trip, now being worked 
out, promise to give us the required information. 

Last April we learned that certain large shell-heaps in Flor- 
ida were being dug away by steam shovels. Accordingly, Assis- 
tant Curator Nelson visited these sites, where by the courtesies 
of the contractors in charge, sections of the entire heaps were 
worked out. From this it appears that there were three well- 
marked periods in the development of Southeastern culture, a 
fact which will be of the greatest service in future studies in 
this area. 

Assistant Curator Spinden spent most of the year in Central 
America in a general archeological survey upon which we 
cannot report at this time. 


Public Lectures and Publications 93 


In the department laboratories important work is under way. 
The Curator has taken up the archeological data and collec- 
tion returned by the Crocker Land Expedition. 
Research in The greater part of the collection is from Captain 
the Museum ‘ : 
eorge Comer’s kitchen midden at North Star 
Bay, Greenland. Messrs. Nelson and Spier have worked out 
chronological tables from our pottery collections from the 
Southwest. Mr. Louis R. Sullivan has continued his investi- 
gation of skeletal modifications due to function and the collec- 
tion of hair and scalp samples for the investigation of racial 
differences. Incidentally, our entire somatological collection 
has been checked over and re-catalogued. A special investiga- 
tion of stature and face form according to geographic distribu- 
tion is now under way, the results of which will be incorporated 
in forthcoming exhibits. 


The usual January lectures dealing with the methods and 
interpretations of anthropological data were given by Associate 
Curator Lowie. The subject this year was “Cul- 
ture and Ethnology,” in four lectures, which 
have since appeared in book form. The continued good atten- 
dance for these highly technical courses justifies making them 
a permanent feature of our work with a view to reflecting the 
best scientific work of our staff. 

A special series of three lectures on “Primitive Decorative 
Design” was given in February by Assistant Curator Spinden 
and Mr. M. D. C. Crawford. 


Public Lectures 


Seven scientific papers were published during the year in the 
Anthropological Papers, by members of the depart- 
ment staff. A full list of these articles will be 
given under the head of Publications. 

There was published also Handbook No. 3, by Dr. Herbert 
J. Spinden, “Ancient Civilizations of Mexico and Central 
America.”

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY* 


RaLtepH W. Tower, Curator 


At the beginning of the year Mr. Alessandro Fabbri was ap- 
pointed Research Associate in Physiology, and during the 
months of January to April he devoted a large amount of time, 
with the assistance of Mr. Herm, to the production of a micro- 
cinematograph showing the physiology of the heart and circula- 
tion in the vascular area of the embryonic chick. The work 
was executed in the research laboratory of Mr. Fabbri, which 
is superbly equipped for a study of this character. The film 
shows the rhythmic contractions of the embryonic heart, the 
contractility of the blood vessels and the phenomenon of circu- 
lation through the arteries, veins, capillaries and their various 
anastomoses. In fact, the film illustrates many details not 
readily observed by the eye with the aid of a microscope. The 
investigation has been temporarily suspended since Mr. Fabbri 
has been called into the Federal Service for the duration of 
the war. 

Further investigation on the development of the red blood 
cell, especially in the bird, has been carried on in the laboratory 
at the Museum with a view to correlating the process in birds 
and mammals. 

Mr. Herm has conducted some experiments in the produc- 
tion and use of a “loop” film. Such a device would permit 
moving pictures of a subject, such as a contracting muscle, to 
be exhibited for an unlimited time, thus allowing opportunity 
for more detailed inspection or for instructive explanation. 

The department has mounted twelve skeletons for exhibition: 
a Phalanger, a Squirrel, a Secretary Bird, a Cassowary, a Rhea, 
a Manis, four Monkeys and two Baboons. There have been 
prepared also 812 skulls and 123 skeletons.

General War Activities 95 


PUBLIC“ HEALT 


CHARLES-Epwarp Amory WINSLow, Curator 


As soon as the United States declared war against Germany, 
the plans for the development of the Department 
of Public Health were so recast as to make the 
educational forces at its disposal of immediate 
service in the national crisis. 

As a first step a special exhibit was prepared illustrating the 
principal problems of camp sanitation and military hygiene and 
showing in graphic form how our army is being protected 
against the dangers of disease. This exhibit, which was opened 
about the end of April, dealt with the purification of water in 
the field and the disposal of camp wastes, with the control of 
insect carriers of disease in army life, with the protection of 
the recruit by the use of vaccines and sera, with the food and 
the clothing of the soldier from a hygienic standpoint, and with 
the prevention of trench foot and other new medico-military 
problems of the present war. 

The Department of Public Health had already made a begin- 
ning on an exhibit illustrating the problems of food supply as 
related to the public health as a distinct section of the perma- 
nent exhibition in our Hall of Public Health. It seemed that 
the development of an exhibit of this sort along the immediate 
practical lines of food conservation offered important possibili- 
ties of usefulness. All the energies of the department were 
therefore turned in this direction,and on May 23 a special exhi- 
bition on Food Values and Economies was opened in the Foyer 
in connection with a public meeting on Conservation for War, 
at which addresses were made by the Honorable George W. 
Perkins, Chairman of Mayor Mitchel’s Food Supply Commit- 
tee, Professor Graham Lusk, of Cornell University, Dr. Her- 
mann M. Biggs, New York State Commissioner of Health, and 
Dr. Walter B. James, President of the New York Academy of 
Medicine.

96 Report of the President 


In connection with this meeting there was prepared a special 
“Handbook of Health in War and Peace, a Manual of Per- 
sonal Preparedness,” which was placed on sale at the Museum 
and at the subway kiosks throughout the city. 

The Food Exhibit was kept open in the Foyer through June, 
July, August, and September, with a gratifying increase in Mu- 
seum attendance for this season of the year. It was then trans- 
ferred to the Washington Irving High School and was dis- 
played there for two months. On December 15 it was set up 
in the Lincoln Corridor of the College of the City of New York 
at the request of President Mezes. 


Curator Winslow was given leave of absence at the end of 
June to accept an appointment as Deputy Commissioner and 
; member of the American Red Cross Mission 
Other Services + Russia. He conducted a survey of public 
Connection with health conditions in Russia and organized a 
Lica lade aa plan for civilian relief in Petrograd along the 
lines of child welfare, returning to take up his duties at the 
Museum in November. 

The success of the Food Exhibit was so great that Mr. Her- 
bert C. Hoover asked for the release of Dr. Thomas G. Hull, 
who had been in charge of its preparation, to undertake work 
for the Government along similar lines. Dr. Hull was given 
leave of absence November 1, and was appointed Chief of the 
Division of Exhibits of the United States Food Administra- 
tion. 


The Food Exhibit as at present installed at the City College 
fills six large museum cases. It illustrates in graphic form the 
food needs of the body and the energy

of Food Exhibit various foods. One set of models shows 
the percentage composition of a dozen typi- 
cal foods in regard to protein, fat, carbohydrate, ash and water. 
A second series of twenty models shows the calorie value and 
cost of ordinary restaurant portions of different foods, and a 
third series of about seventy-five models (presented to the 
Museum by the Plastic Art Novelty and Specialty Company) 


Food Conservation 97 


illustrates the amount of each food which will supply 100 cal- 
ories of energy to the body. Tables set for breakfast, lunch 
and dinner show satisfactory dietaries for an individual, based 
on either a moderate or a restricted income. 

Numerous exhibits are included dealing with unutilized food 
stuffs of various sorts, particularly seaweeds, marine mollusks 
and food fishes (shark, skate, etc.). 

Food production problems are illustrated by photographs, 
models and specimens which tell the story of wheat and of corn 
from the grain fields through the flour mill, and from the 
bakery to the home. 

The food conservation problems of the war are brought 
home by statistical diagrams and a series of striking colored 
cartoons prepared by Mr. A. Operti. 

The plans for the development of the Food Exhibit in the 
future contemplate its extension along the line of practical food 
conservation in marketing and home use of foods and the mak- 
ing graphic of the particular food economies demanded from 
time to time by the United States Food Administration. In 
this important task we have been fortunate in securing the 
cooperation of the Department of Home Economics of Co- 
lumbia University by an arrangement for the part-time service 
of assistants in that department. 


The exhibits in the Hall of Public Health dealing with 
insect-borne diseases have been supplemented 
during the year by the addition of photographs 
and models illustrating the campaign against typhus fever in 
Serbia, and amplifying other material on insect-borne diseases. 

A fine series of transparencies has been purchased, illustrat- 
ing the parasites causing certain diseases, and a large model of 
the yellow fever mosquito, Aédes calopus, prepared by Dr. 
B. E. Dahlgren, is almost completed. 

The exhibits at present installed in the Hall of Public Health 
have been made more readily available for the use of teachers 
and students by the publication of a special “Syllabus Guide to 
Public Health Exhibits” by Mr. L. V. Coleman, giving in brief 
outline the principal facts which the student ought to know 
about Water Supply, Municipal Waste Disposal, and Insect-

borne Diseases, with parallel reference to individual numbered 
exhibits illustrating the points in question. 

Through the codperation of the Departments of Invertebrate 
Zodlogy and Public Health of the Museum, a somewhat ex- 
haustive Guide Leaflet dealing with insects and disease has 
been prepared and is ready for publication. 


Attention must be called at this time to the pressing need of 

the Department of Public Health for exhibition space to allow 

for future development. The present Hall of 

Shgks Public Health is practically filled. The Food 
xhibition Space See ae : : i 

Exhibit, which is being rapidly increased, may 

be shown outside the Museum for a time (as at the Washing- 

ton Irving High School and at City College), but much of it 

should finally be installed at the Museum as a section of our 

permanent Public Health Exhibit, of which it forms an integral 


part. 


The Museum of Living Bacteria, now under the immediate 
direction of Mr. William Rothberg, continues to fill a large 
place in the scientific life of this branch of 
Bacteriological natural history. Ninety-eight new strains have 
Museum and ; ‘ 
Reaearchi been added to the collection, making the total 
number now under cultivation over eight hun- 
dred. During the year ending December 1, 1917, 3,935 cultures 
were sent without charge to laboratories of universities and 
health departments, making a total of 18,980 cultures distrib- 
uted since the opening of the laboratory in I911; 143 new 
institutions have availed themselves of our service during the 
year, making 635 in all. It has been particularly gratifying to 
note that we have been able to supply cantonment medical 
officers, government bureaus at Washington, and medical re- 
search institutions in this country and abroad with cultures 
needed for special problems of military hygiene. 

Changes in staff and the demands made by emergency war 
work have made heavy inroads upon time generally allotted for 
research. A monograph, by Curator Winslow, Dr. Kligler and 
Mr. Rothberg, on the classification of the colon-typhoid group 
of bacteria, has been completed, however, and is ready for pub- 
lication. 


Gifts to the Library 99 


THE LIBRARY * 


RateH W. Tower, Curator 


The activities of the Library during the year just past have 
not been surpassed by those of any year in its history. Not 
only has work of the highest importance been accomplished by 
the skill and industry of the various members of the staff, but 
the department has benefited widely through the generosity of 
its many friends. 

Among the accessions of the first importance are the follow- 
ing rare and unique volumes, received through the benefac- 
tions of Mr. Ogden Mills: De Bry, Peregrinationes in Indiam 
Orientalem, 1598-1613, a valuable first edition of nine parts in 
Latin which form companion volumes to the Peregrinationes 
in Indiam Occidentalem previously donated by Mr. Mills. The 
great usefulness of a work of this character cannot be too 
highly emphasized—researches in geography, anthropology and 
zoology are all dependent upon such sources of information. 
Again through the liberality of Mr. Mills, the collection of the 
handsomely illustrated monographs by John Gould have been 
completed, thus not only enriching the Library but supplying 
a most useful need to the scientists who are carrying on their 
researches at this institution. These are: A Monograph of 
the Macropodide or Family of Kangaroos, 1841-1842; Sup- 
plement to the Monograph of the Trochilide; The Birds of 
Asia in seven volumes, 1850-1883; Mammals of Australia in 
three volumes, 1845-1863 ; A Century of Birds from the Hima- 
laya Mountains, 1832, and A Monograph of the Pittide, 1880- 
1881. 

Through the courtesy of Mr. John M. Hoffmire, a nephew 
of Mr. Titian Ramsey Peale, the Library has received a copy 
of Lepidoptera Americana; or Original Figures of the Moths 
and Butterflies of North America; in their various Stages of 
Existence, and the plants on which they feed. Drawn on Stone,

Curator of the Philadelphia Museum—Volume I, Number 1, 
printed by William P. Gibbons, S. W. Corner Sixth and Cherry 
Streets, 1833. The present copy undoubtedly was the author’s 
personal one, as it contains a printed “Proposals” on which are 
written the names of the various subscribers to the work. The 
part is otherwise composed of 14 unnumbered pages and calls 
for plates 3, 4,5, 7. The plates present are, however, 2 to 10 
and exist both in colored and uncolored form. There is also 
an unnumbered and uncolored plate of Morpho iris. 

Other accessions are: The Danish Ingolf-Expedition, Vol-

For the immediate future the section of the Library dealing 
with primitive languages, magic, charms and amulets is to be 
strengthened—the latter subjects with the assistance of Dr. W. 
L. Hildburgh, whose experience has already proved of much 
value. 

The constantly increasing demands which are made upon the 
staff by the departments of the institution as well as the public 


Publications IOI 


are seriously retarding the essential work within the Library. 
The proper adjustment of economy and efficiency will soon be 
lost, thus making quite imperative the appointment of another 
assistant in order to maintain the standard necessary to supply 
the proper service. 

A gallery tier of shelving has been placed in the Osborn 
Library, thus doubling the available space for the installation of 
books. The new equipment, besides serving a distinct need for 
expansion, has also added much to the attractiveness of the 
room. It has been found possible to intercalate all the non- 
duplicate titles in Vertebrate Paleontology from the General 
Library, and thus for the first time the Osborn Library has 
become a distinct unit—classified and catalogued. 


PUBLICATIONS 
J. A. ALLEN, Editor 


Two volumes of the Bulletin were issued during 1917: Vol- 
ume XXXVI, by Frank M. Chapman, on the ornithology of 
Colombia (740 pages, 41 plates, 7 of them colored, 
aera and 21 text figures), and Volume XXXVII, the 
ublications 
current volume for the year (920 pages, 111 plates, 
5 of them colored, 117 text figures, and 5 maps). The 37 
articles represent 32 contributors. Parts of five volumes of the 
Anthropological Papers (Dr. Clark Wissler, Editor) have 
been published, aggregating 868 pages and 230 text figures. 
Also Volume II of “A Bibliography of Fishes” (Authors L-Z, 
701 pages); Volume I (Authors A-K) was issued in 1916. 
Two parts of Volume II (New Series) of the Memoirs are in 
press, unexpected delays in printing having prevented their 
publication in 1917, as intended. 


The popular publications comprise the Forty-eighth Annual 

Report of the Trustees; Volume XVII of The American Mu- 

seum Journal (edited by Miss Mary C. Dicker- 

pepe ong S02); Guide Leaflets Nos. 38, 39, 45, and 46, and

GENERAL SUMMARY 


In reviewing the work of the year 1917, we observe that it 
has been very strong along the lines of public education, in the 
arrangement of the exhibition halls, in the care and cataloguing 
of our great collections, in scientific research and publication. 
Our biological survey of South America has made a very auspi- 
cious beginning and will now continue systematically through 
the labors of Chapman, Cherrie and Beck in birds and mam- 
mals, supplemented by those of Eastman in fishes. We are 
establishing new and influential scientific relations with our 
sister republics on the south, which will be the prelude to 
friendly economic and political relations, and thus of service 
to the cause of Pan-Americanism. 

Our African collections have been made available, and a 
notable plan of research and publication has been developed in 
which Allen, Lang, Chapin, Bequaert, Wheeler and other dis- 
tinguished zodlogists are taking part. Similarly, arrangements 
are on the way to coordinate and publish the valuable results of 
our Asiatic expeditions. In the meantime North American 
studies are progressing systematically, especially on birds, 
mammals, reptiles and fishes, recent and extinct, and on insect 
life through the labors of Lutz. 


106 Report of the President 


On the visible side of building, exhibition space and even 
of storage space, we have made little progress, but, despite the 
pressure of war conditions, we are making every possible en- 
deavor with the municipal authorities and with our ever-widen- 
ing circle of generous friends to increase the present exhibition 
space and to extend our building. The Museum is more than 
ever an integral part of the City’s great educational system, 
and on the ground of its service to our schools and colleges 
alone, there are strong reasons for immediately extending the 
exhibition space of the building. 


Respectfully submitted, 
‘HENRY FAIRFIELD OSBORN, 
President. 


Financial Administration 107 


FINANCES, MAINTENANCE, ENDOWMENT 


During the year 1917, several changes in recording the finan- 
cial transactions have been made. It was deemed advisable to 
separate the General Account into two ac- 
Establishment of counts: First, the General Account, wherein 
ay ina are recorded the unrestricted funds of the 
Trustees, which include mainly the income 
from the General Endowment, membership dues, subscriptions 
of Trustees for general purposes, interest on bank balances, 
and receipts from sales and exchanges of specimens and from 
sales of publications; second, the Morris K. Jesup Fund Ac- 
count, which was created to carry out the intent of the Will of 
our late President Morris K. Jesup, and of the subsequent 
Will of his wife, Maria De Witt Jesup. 


In order to show the increase of the main sources of re- 
ceipts of the General and Morris K. Jesup Funds, 
Comparison in comparison with 1916, they are treated below 
of Receipts 
as one account: 


1916 1917 
Income of General Endowment ................ $57,211.88 $58,459.86 
Income of Morris K. Jesup Fund .............. 202,050.86 267,009.06 
BietaberShip Mest fons tt, ese es ee 29,344.00 32,084.00 


Sales and Exchanges and Sale of Publications .. 4,698.62 5,252.15 
Subscriptions of Trustees for General Purposes. 43,500.00 50,000.00 


The second modification contributing to greater efficiency in 
the method of conducting the finances of the Museum has 
been the substitution of endorsement on checks 

Receipt by for receipted bills. Mr. Frederick H. Smyth, 
Pats Bursar, formulated for the Museum a plan which 
would meet the requirements of the Department 

of Finance of the City of New York. The Comptroller readily 
saw the wisdom of such a change, and, with the consent of the 
Department of Parks, permission was given to eliminate the 
submission of receipted bills and the signatures on payrolls 


108 Report of the President 


and to submit instead a tabulated statement of the firms from 
whom the Museum purchased the goods, on which the Direc- 
tor and the Assistant Secretary make the following certifica- 
tion: “We hereby certify that the above mentioned firms have 
delivered goods as shown; that the prices are just and reason- 
able; that there are on file in the Treasurer’s Office endorsed 
checks for the sums set opposite their names, and that all 
details pertaining to the purchases are open for the inspection 
of the proper authorities.” In the case of the payrolls, the 
following certification is made by the Director and the Assis- 
tant Secretary: “We hereby certify that the above mentioned 
employees have rendered services for the period specified on 
this payroll; that there are on file in the Treasurer’s Office en- 
dorsed checks for the sums set opposite their names and all 
details pertaining to their services are open for the inspection 
of the proper authorities; and we hereby further certify that 
all persons named on this payroll, who are subject to the pro- 
visions of Chapter 622, Laws of 1894, are citizens of the 
United States.” This change has brought about a greatly 
reduced number of vouchers and eliminates much needless 
signing by officers and employees. 


On December 31, 1917, the Permanent Endowment was 
$7,974,019.34, composed of securities valued at $7,965,375 and 
uninvested cash of $8,644.34. There are 
poe and still held stocks of a bequest value of 
nvestment Account a 
$183,325 awaiting a favorable market for 
their sale and conversion into bonds that are legal for savings 
banks to hold. The Trustees authorized the Finance Commit- 
tee to proceed with this change at the annual meeting in Feb- 
ruary, 1916. 

During the year 1917, the executor of the estate of Maria 
De Witt Jesup made the final payment, on account of the 
bequest, of $500,000, bringing the total to $5,000,000. This, - 
together with the original bequest of the late Morris K. Jesup 
of $1,000,000, made the total gift to the Morris K. Jesup Fund 
$6,000,000; on December 31, 1917, this Fund was composed 
of securities valued at $6,656,563.80 and uninvested cash of 
$6,303.70. 


Maintenance of the Museum 109 


There were added to the General Endowment Fund, by gift 
from Mr. Frank W. Kitching, 121 shares of Anaconda Copper 
Mining Company stock, which had a market value of $10,043 
at the time of its acquisition. The receipts were further sup- 
plemented by membership dues of Patron, Fellow and Life 
Members to the amount of $7,000. 

Following the patriotic duty of citizens and organizations 
having funds available for investment, the Finance Committee 
subscribed for $20,000 United States of America 10-25-year 
4% Convertible Gold Bonds. 


The appropriation for salaries and expenses for 1917 was 
$200,000, as compared with $197,342 for 1916; and the appro- 
priation for special repairs to the building was 
ee nace $12,700, whereas the amount for 1916 was 
$15,657. Since the City’s appropriation was 
practically the same for 1917 as for 1916, and because of the 
constantly increasing cost of supplies and the much needed 
increases of salaries to all classes of employees, the Trustees 
were obliged to make a much larger subscription for main- 
tenance purposes than ever before. In 1917 this deficiency 
amounted to $92,300. 


The Treasurer’s books show a balance on hand December 
31, 1917, of $163,511.82. 
This balance is made up as follows: 


Trustees’ General f 
Account Proceeds of five notes of the United States Trust 


Company of New York $150,000.00 
Sum reserved to meet pledges and 
Obligations of 1917 3c y ieee oy $4,086.18 
Unexpended Income of 1917 ....... 9,425.64 


13,511.82 
$163,511.82 


As the greater portion of the income of invested funds is 
received on June 30 and December 31, and the principal expen- 
ditures are made prior to these dates, it has been necessary to 
increase the bank loan of the United States Trust Company of 
New York from $75,000 to $150,000. The Museum is not 
obligated to pay interest on this sum, except on the amounts 
necessary to meet the daily overdrafts. 


IIO Report of the President 


It is gratifying to note that the subscriptions for Special 
Funds do not show a considerable decrease, in view of the 
urgent demands made upon all classes of our 
pee citizens for war relief work. The special sub- 
scriptions for 1917 were $17,391.21; in 1916 the 

sum received was $22,588.82. 


The Museum continued to act as Treasurer for the funds of 
the Crocker Land Expedition, and during the year the General 
Account loaned large sums to this Account, 
Crocker Land pending the receipt of subscriptions or special 
robes eae gifts. On December 31, the Crocker Land 
Expedition Fund Account owed to the Gen- 
eral Account the sum of $33,000. It is hoped that subscrip- 
tions covering this deficiency will be made in 1918. In 1917 
this Fund received $50,000 from the General Account and the 
Morris K. Jesup Fund Account, this sum representing the 
unexpended incomes of both these accounts for 1916 and 1917, 
which were transferred by action of the Board of Trustees. In 
addition to this sum, there was transferred from the Morris 
K. Jesup Fund $1,500 for special services of a field assistant, 
and from the Angelo Heilprin Exploring Fund $500 for geo- 
logical work in North Greenland. 


As explained in previous reports, the expenses connected with 

the equipment work are met largely through appropriations of 

corporate stock by the City. In 1917 the ex- 

commer’ Stock penditures for these purposes amounted to 

$9,496.74. On December 28, the Board of 

Estimate and Apportionment granted a further release of $42,- 
438.01, to provide for the continuation of this work. 


The need for additional building is so great that when in 

1916 it became evident that the City could not provide new 

building for some time, several of the Trus- 

Mien Building tees and other friends of the Museum per- 
und Account : Byer 

sonally subscribed to a building fund, and 

the moneys paid in now amount to $106,050.83. Two subscrip- 

tions have been received during the year, namely, Mr. Archer 

M. Huntington, $2,008.94, and Mr. George B. Hopkins, $1,000. 


The Pension Fund 1 


All details pertaining to the Pension Fund Account and a 
full report by the Treasurer, who is ex officio member of this 
Fund, are noted on pages 223 to 239, inclusive. 
Sean Fund = The plan inaugurated by the Special Commit- 
tee appointed by the President to solicit subscrip- 
tions for the two Liberty Loans of 1917, whereby it was made 
possible for an employee to subscribe a minimum sum each 
month for 20 months, has made considerable extra work in the 
Bookkeeping Department. Special mention of the manner in 
which loans have been advanced by certain Trustees to finance 
this plan is made in the report of the Chairman of the Pension 
Fund. 
Respectfully submitted, 
H. P. Davison, 


Treasurer.

Privileges of Members 131 


MEMBERSHIP 


The number of Members of the Museum is greater than ever 
before despite the present disturbed conditions of the country, 
which are making such unusual demands upon the income of 
every citizen. This is a source of special gratification and en- 
couragement to the Museum, since it indicates that the public 
service the institution is rendering is more widely appreciated 
than ever before. 


It has often been stated that many become members of the 
Museum, not because they expect in person value received for 
the membership fee, but because they believe that 
eee the work the institution is doing for science and 
education is worthy of support. Unquestionably 
this civic pride is an important factor in maintaining the mem- 
bership. On the other hand, a little reflection will show that 
every member is offered a very large personal return for his 
contribution. Every member receives copies of The American 
Museum Journal, a magazine which keeps the members in 
touch with Museum activities and presents in authoritative 
manner the results of the latest explorations and researches in 
natural science. 


The lectures that are given annually to members compare 
favorably with those given in any lecture course in the City. 
In 1917, more than 85 lectures were given to which 
Members were welcome. 

The spring course of lectures to Members was 
as follows: One by C. William Beebe, “In the Jungles of British 
Guiana,” describing the work carried on at “Kalacoon,” the 
tropical research station, ideally situated for studying the 
problems of habitat and distribution. In place of the lecture 
which was to have been given by Mr. Herbert W. Gleason, “In 
the High Sierras with John Muir,” a lecture was given on 
practically the same region by Mr. Leroy Jeffers, with stereop- 
ticon views of that part of the country and also of the rocks 


Lectures to 
Members

and surf in the region of Nahant, Massachusetts. The lec- 
ture by Herbert J. Spinden, “Our Debt to Ancient American 
Civilizations,” called particular attention to the fact that more 
than half of our agricultural products are direct gifts from the 
American Indian. Mr. Leo E. Miller, “With Camera and Gun 
Through Western Colombia,” dealt with Antioquia, a region 
of diversified physical characters and an unusually rich field 
for the naturalist. 

The autumn course for members included the following lec- 
tures: Donald B. MacMillan, “The Search for Crocker Land.” 
Mr. MacMillan had spent four years in the Arctic as leader of 
the Crocker Land Expedition organized by The American 
Museum of Natural History, The American Geographical So- 
ciety and The University of Illinois. His narrative gave an 
account of the perils and disappointments of Arctic travel, and 
an intimate picture of the Cape York Eskimo, the most north- 
erly inhabitants of the world. A. Radclyffe Dugmore, “The 
Romance of the Beaver and the Caribou,” covered observa- 
tions of a series of years. Captain Dugmore has seen service 
in France, where he was “gassed” in the battle of the Somme 
and invalided home. Frank M. Chapman, “The Southern 
Andes,” concluded the story of the natural history reconnais- 
sance made by him in South America in 1916. Dr. Chapman 
also established relations with the museums in the principal 
cities through which the expedition passed. Roy C. Andrews, 
“The Frontiers of a Forbidden Land,” gave an account of the 
Asiatic Zodlogical Expedition’s journey through southern and 
southwestern China, the mountains of the Tibetan frontier, the 
Burma border, the little known native tribes,and of conditions in 
the interior of China, illustrated by motion pictures and colored 
lantern slides from photographs taken by Mrs. Andrews. 


The ninth and tenth series of Nature Stories for the Chil- 

dren of Members were given in 1917. In the spring course, 

Mr. Robert C. Murphy gave a lecture en- 

petra ade ae (Se, “Among the Penguins of South 

Georgia,” and in the autumn course Mr. 

Roy Chapman Andrews told of “The Children of the Far 
Fast.” 


Special Lectures 133 


In January the Department of Anthropology gave a series 
of four lectures on “Ethnology: The Science of Culture,” by 
Dr. Robert H. Lowie. 
a On January 10, under the auspices of The Ameri- 
ectures 4 4 z a 
can Scenic and Historic Preservation Society and 
The American Museum of Natural History, a lecture was 
given by the Honorable Robert Sterling Yard, on “Our Na- 
tional Parks and Monuments,” illustrated with beautiful col- 
ored stereopticon views. 

On January 20, a series of remarkable motion pictures en- 
titled “How Life Begins,” was shown through the courtesy of 
the Exhibitors’ Booking Agency of New York City. The 
pictures were made by Mr. George E. Stone, A.B., and Pro- 
fessor J. A. Long, Ph.D., of the University of California. 

In February, three lectures on “Primitive Decorative De- 
sign” were given by Dr. Herbert J. Spinden and Mr. M. D. C. 
Crawford, under the auspices of the Department of Anthro- 
pology. 

On February 8, the first exhibition of Prizma motion pic- 
tures was given, under the auspices of The American Museum 
of Natural History and The New York Academy of Sciences. 
These pictures are a faithful reproduction of objects in motion 
or at rest in natural colors and relief. The exhibition included 
pictures of the Grand Cafion of the Colorado, Niagara Falls, 
marine life and other subjects of natural science. A brief 
description of the method of producing the pictures was given 
by Ernest Fox Nichols, Sc.D., LL.D., Professor of Physics at 
Yale University. 

On March 28, under the auspices of The American Museum 
of Natural History and The American Scenic and Historic 
Preservation Society, a lecture was given by Samuel Chris- 
topher Lancaster, on “The Scenic Beauty of Oregon,” illus- 
trated with lantern slides and Paget plates. 

On May 21 and 23 addresses were given in connection with 
the Twelfth Annual Meeting of the American Association of 
Museums. 

On May 23, addresses were given by President Osborn (pre- 
siding), the Honorable George W. Perkins and Doctors 
Graham Lusk, Hermann M. Biggs and Walter B. James, in 


134 Report of the President 


connection with the opening of a special exhibition illustrative 
of the most recent researches in Food Values and Economies. 

On May 28, special addresses were given in connection with 
the Centennial Meeting of the New York Academy of Sci- 
ences, by Professor Michael Idvorsky Pupin, President of the 
Academy, by Dr. Nathaniel Lord Britton, and by Dr. John 
Hendley Barnhart. 

On June 8, a lecture for the blind was given by Dr. Fisher 
on “Wild Flowers of Summer.” 

On October 2, addresses were given in connection with the 
Nineteenth Annual Meeting of the New York State Historical 
Association. 

On December 5, Mr. Roy Chapman Andrews spoke on 
“Travels in Little Known China,” at the meeting of the Amer- 
ican Asiatic Association. 

On December 17, under the auspices of the New York 
Academy of Sciences, an address was given on “Science and 
the War” by Dr. R. A. Millikan. 


It is gratifying to report that the number of new members 
enrolled during 1917 was 412; the loss through 
death and resignation was 270, showing a net gain 
of 133. On December 31, 1917, the total mem-— 
bership was 4,242, divided into classes as follows:

To the President and Trustees of The American Museum of 
Natural History and to the Subscribers to the Fund: 


In accordance with the Rules and Regulations, I have the 
honor to present herewith the Fifth Annual Report of the 
activities of the Pension Board and of its financial operations 
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1917.

226 Pension Fund Report 


Since the organization of the Pension Plan, it has been the 
custom for the Director of the Museum to certify to the Pen- 
sion Board as permanent the names of those employees whose 
services were to be retained. More recently, as it was found 
best to adopt a system of physical examination, a change of 
procedure in methods of certification was necessitated, inas- 
much as occasionally certifications of permanent employment 
had to be cancelled, in the cases of employees who were found 
to be physically unsuited, from an insurance standpoint, to 
participate in the Pension Plan. Remedial changes have there- 
fore been effected, so that now the Director indicates his will- 
ingness to certify temporary employees as permanent in their 
relation to the institution, providing they first pass the physical 
examination required by the Board. At the satisfactory com- 
pletion of this physical examination, the employee is certified 
as permanent. This simplification obviates the necessity of 
cancelling any permanency certification once given. 

The following is the status of the membership of the Fund 
as constituted December 31, 1917:

During the year we have had the misfortune to lose by death 
four members, as noted above, particular mention of whom 
will be found in another part of the report, as will also the 
names of those members who have retired from active service. 

As in previous years, it is a pleasure to record that through 
the good offices of friends of the institution, employment has 
been found for members of certain deserving families of de- 
ceased subscribers, supervising medical attention provided for 
those who have been ill, and other forms of relief afforded. 


Pension Fund Report 227 


Serious thought and discussion have been given to the de- 
sirability of obtaining an endowed bed under the control of this 
Board, in some hospital of the city, but after careful considera- 
tion it was felt best to solicit from friends of the Museum the 
privilege of nominating occupants to beds already endowed, 
so as to offer to employees a choice of hospitals. Our endeavor 
in this direction has already proved successful, and we desire 
to record here our sincere appreciation to those friends who 
have so kindly placed at the disposition of the Secretary en- 
dowed beds in two of the prominent hospitals of the city, for 
occupancy by employees in need of surgical attention and med- 
ical care. We take this opportunity to notify the employees 
that, should it become necessary for any of them to undergo 
hospital treatment, a notification to the Secretary to that effect 
will secure for them, barring prior claims, free attendance at 
Mount Sinai or the Presbyterian Hospital. Should preference 
be expressed for treatment in other hospitals, attempts will be 
made to conclude similar arrangements for beds in hospitals 
chosen by employees. 

In early June, the President, with forethought and a keen 
appreciation of the benefit which would accrue to employees 
from participating in the Liberty Loans, appointed a commit- 
tee consisting of the Chairman, Mr. Iselin, the Bursar, and the 
Secretary, to formulate a plan whereby the employees gener- 
ally might be given the opportunity of subscribing and paying 
for bonds by some easy payment method. Through the gener- 
osity of certain Trustees, who advanced the necessary funds, 
such a course was made possible, and we desire to express our 
gratitude not only to those Trustees who formulated and made 
possible such an operative plan, but as well to the Bursar of 
the Fund, Mr. Smyth, who has given his time and painstaking 
efforts to secure subscriptions and to prepare and keep such 
books as are necessary in carrying on this work. That the plan 
was successful is best evidenced by the fact that 164 subscrip- 
tions, in the amount of $13,150.00, were received to the first 
issue of bonds, and 95 subscriptions, amounting to $9,100.00, 
were received to the second issue of bonds. 

Although the report of the Pension Board is confined in the 
main to a statement of the current business of the Board, it 


228 Pension Fund Report 


has been thought well to include a brief description of the 
activities of those of our associated officers and members who, 
through a deep sense of patriotic duty, have enlisted or other- 
wise volunteered their services to our country. 

Early in the year, Dr. George M. Mackenzie, who had been 
acting for some time as medical examiner for the Pension 
Board, found it necessary temporarily to sever his relations 
with the Board, owing to the acceptance of his offer to serve 
as a medical examiner for the Naval Reserve Force. He is 
now located at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and in his stead Dr. 
Walter P. Anderton, who has for a long time been attached to 
the Presbyterian Hospital, has been selected, and is giving to 
the Board most efficient and satisfactory service. 

The patriotic activities of our Consulting Actuary, Mr. S. 
Herbert Wolfe, have been varied and considerable. Early in 
May, at the instigation of the United States Department of 
Labor, he visited Canada for the purpose of ascertaining the 
care given by that country to the dependents of enlisted men. 
The results of his work there have been incorporated in a re- 
port issued by the Department. After the satisfactory comple- 
tion of this duty, Mr. Wolfe received an appointment as Cap- 
tain in the Quartermaster’s Department. He was detailed to 
Washington, where he assisted in drafting the present measure 
for soldiers’ insurance and compensation in the United States, 
and while thus occupied directed the compilation of a report 
entitled “Governmental Provisions in the United States and 
Foreign Countries for Members of the Military Forces and 
Their Dependents.” This report includes a review of the pen- 
sion situation in the United States, a brief analysis of pro- 
visions peculiar to foreign countries and comparative charts of 
rates in the United States and twelve other countries, and is 
amplified by an exhaustive report of the Pension systems of 
the United States and of all the foreign countries except Can- 
ada. Having completed this task, Captain Wolfe was sent 
abroad, and is at present located in France. Through the in- 
termedium of his office, however, Captain Wolfe is continuing 
his services as Consulting Actuary to the Pension Board. 

A number of our members have been prompt in offering 
themselves for active service to our country. Some of these 


Pension Fund Report 229 


have entered the Federal Service from the National Guard; 
some, including a number of graduates of the Plattsburg camps, 
have enrolled in various branches of the Army, and others 
have entered the Navy. Of all we can attest that they are ful- 
filling man’s highest duty and privilege in giving their aid, their 
personalities, their influence, and their lives, if need be, in the 
cause of liberty, humanity and justice. Great indeed is our 
debt to those of our members who have responded to their 
country’s call, and it is with a deep sense of appreciation that 
we enumerate those members at this time on our Roll of 
Honor:

Deceased Subscribers 


It is with deep regret that we record the deaths of the fol- 
lowing members during the year 1917: 


Louis Pope GRATACAP 


Louis Pope Gratacap was born November 1, 1851, in Brook- 
lyn. He attended the public schools, and graduated from the 
College of the City of New York in 1869 with the degree of 
Bachelor of Arts, and from the Columbia School of Mines in 
1876 with the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. In 1880 he 
received the degree of Master of Arts from the College of the 
City of New York. He entered the service of the Museum in 
1876, when the collections were housed in the old Arsenal in 
Central Park. In 1880 he was appointed Assistant Curator 
of Mineralogy, and in 1883 Assistant Curator of the Depart- 
ment of Geology. In 1900 he was made Curator of Miner- 
alogy, also in charge of Conchology, becoming Curator of Con- 
chology in 1901. In 1909 he received the appointment of 
Curator of the division of Mollusca in the Department of 
Invertebrate Zoology, and held this office, together with his 
curatorship of Mineralogy, until the time of his death. Mr. 
Gratacap, who was wonderfully versatile, was a fluent speaker 
and brilliant lecturer, and possessed rare personal-charm. His 
numerous works of fiction bear witness to his remarkable 
powers of imagination and elegance of literary style. In his 
knowledge of gems, minerals and shells he was without a peer. 
Combined with this attainment he possessed the rare faculty 


231 


232 Pension Fund Report 


of arranging the specimens under his control so artistically and 
so revealingly of their beauties of color and splendors of light 
that layman and scientist alike were attracted and fascinated 
by the elegance and perfection of the display. His last few 
years he devoted to the classification and rearrangement of the 
specimens of Mollusca, having already completed that of the 
gems and minerals, and this work will stand through the years 
to come as an enduring monument to his scientific and artistic 
attainments. Generous of heart, steadfast and warm in friend- 
ship, his loss is irremediable. He died on December 19, 1917. 


WiLi1AM J. Hayes 


William J. Hayes was born on November 12, 1868, in this 
city. He entered the service of the Museum nearly six years 
ago and was assigned the duties of night-watchman. He was 
conspicuous for faithfulness in the performance of his duties 
and the regularity of his attendance. Those who associated 
with him have a deep sense of personal loss, for in addition 
to his other attributes he had the faculty of maintaining firm 
and hearty friendships. He died on April 8, 1917. 


Francis S. McGuire 


Francis S. McGuire was born on July 5, 1837, in East Troy, 
New York. On October 24, 1861, he enlisted in the United 
States Navy, where he served with honor and distinction as 
gunner’s mate on the Barque Fernandina, receiving his dis- 
charge February 23, 1865. As an evidence of his integrity 
and the respect in which he was held by his comrades, it may 
be stated that later he was commander for more than twelve 
years of William D. Kennedy Post, G.A.R. In 1898 Mr. Mc- 
Guire entered the employ of the Museum and was assigned to 
the engineering force, where he faithfully and conscientiously 
served as night engineer for nearly sixteen years. Age and 
declining health caused him to ask for his retirement by the 
Museum in 1914. Mr. McGuire was a most likeable man, of 
happy disposition, and true in friendship. Seldom complain- 
ing through years of continuous illness, he was released from 
his sufferings on December 15, 1917. 


Pension Fund Report 233 


AucGustus R. STRADER 


Augustus R. Strader was born May 28, 1848, in Asbury, 
New Jersey. For a number of years prior to his entering the 
service of the Museum in 1899, he was employed by contrac- 
tors engaged in constructing cases and other equipment for this 
institution. Upon the organization of a Museum construction 
department, he was placed in charge of the carpentry force, 
where he not only supervised the work of repairs, but as a 
draughtsman prepared all the plans for new exhibition cases 
and for alterations required in the building. This position he 
held at the time of his death. Possessed of a most agreeable 
personality, genial and friendly to all, his sudden death was a 
great shock to his numerous associates, who will ever cherish 
memories of this sincere friend and enjoyable companion. He 
died on December 24, 1917.

FIFTIETH ANNUAL REPORT 


To the Trustees and Members of The American Museum of 
Natural History, and to the Municipal Authorities of the 
City of New York: 


It has become necessary to postpone the celebration of the 
Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of the Museum for five 
years, namely, until 1924. It is desirable to consider various 
ways and means whereby this celebration may mark the com- 
pletion of the entire southern half of the Museum as planned 
between 1870 and 1875, and officially approved for the City by 
the Department of Parks on September 17, 1875. This will 
mark the period of half a century since the building was actu- 
ally begun by the City. 

It is desirable to include in these new plans special facilities 
for the teachers and pupils of the free public educational insti- 
tutions of the City, as provided for in the Fourth Clause of the 
Contract with the Department of Parks, which was drawn in 
connection with the occupancy of 'the first building (completed 
in 1877) and which was signed February 12, 1878. The lan- 
guage of this clause is as follows: 

Fourthly.—That the exhibition halls of said building shall, on 
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of each week, and on 
all legal or public holidays, except Sundays, be kept open and accessible 
to the public, free of charge, from nine o’clock a.m. until half an hour 
before sunset, under such rules and regulations as the party of the 
second part shall from time to time prescribe; but on the remaining 
days of the week the same shall be only open for exhibition to such 
persons, upon such terms as the said party of the second part shall 
from time to time direct. But all professors and teachers of the public 
schools of the City of New York, or other institutions of learning in 
said city, in which instruction is given free of charge, shall be admitted 
to all the advantages afforded by the said party of the second part, 
through its museum, library, apparatus, and collections, or otherwise, 
for study, research and investigation, free of any charge therefor, and 


to the same extent and on the same terms and conditions as any other 
persons are admitted to such advantages, as aforesaid.

18 Report of the President 


It is also desirable to offer the City and the State of New 
York an opportunity to erect the Main Central Building of the 
eastern facade, facing Central Park, as a memo- 
Memorial to rial to THEODORE ROOSEVELT, both as 
rocuarsit Governor of the State of New York and as 
President of the United States. If the erection 
of such a Memorial by the City and State shall meet with 
popular approval, and shall have the support of the Governor 
of the State and of the Mayor of the City of New York, the 
Trustees may well surrender all plans for using this building 
for exhibition purposes, although it will adjoin the Asiatic Hall 
on the south and the African Hall on the west, the latter espe- 
cially connected with Theodore Roosevelt’s life as an explorer 
and naturalist. 

Theodore Roosevelt’s father in 1869 brought together the 
group of men who founded the Museum. Theodore Roosevelt 
himself spent hours of his boyhood in the Museum and in the 
closing years of his life led the Museum’s expedition to South 
America and made important contributions not only to our col- 
lections but to our scientific publications. This Memorial would 
inspire the youth of America with Roosevelt’s great example as 
a nature lover, naturalist, explorer and exponent of the great 
lessons which nature has to teach us. 


A summary of the general progress of the Museum in the 
last fifty years shows that the great Museum building projected 
in 1870 is about one-fourth completed; that dur- 

Fie Yuen ing this period the Trustees, Members and 
friends of the Museum have contributed gifts 

and collections valued at $7,250,000, while the contributions to 
the Permanent Endowment Fund have been $7,322,707. In 
the meantime, the taxpayers of the City of New York have con- 
tributed $5,318,820 for building and $4,241,492 for mainte- 
nance. The General or Unrestricted Endowment, which may 
be devoted to the general progress of the Museum, is now 
approximately $1,300,000, while during the last year and a 
half additional bequests to the institution for general purposes 
amount to $2,105,000, including Mrs. Russell Sage’s bequest of 
$1,600,000. It is fortunate that the full amount of these be- 


Museum’s Contribution to Victory 19 


quests will be realized through the recent action of Congress in 
repealing the iniquitous Federal Tax on educational bequests 
imposed by the laws of 1916 and 1917. 

The financial, material and scientific accomplishments of 
fifty years may be summed up as follows:

The development of the Museum during the next five years 
in preparation for its Golden Jubilee will, we trust, include 
three great features, namely, extension of building, firm foun- 
dation of popular municipal maintenance, and increase of our 
general or unrestricted endowment fund to $5,000,000, the 
amount needed to place the Museum on a financially sure foun- 
dation for the coming quarter of a century. 


THE MUSEUM’S CONTRIBUTION TO VICTORY 


Owing to the number and variety of specialists in its many 
departments, the Museum was able to render a very real and 
valuable service, not only to the United States but to the Allies 
in general. The various preparedness and food utilization and 
conservation exhibits drew crowds of people eager to see how 
they could safeguard and improve their health, and how to 
obtain the most nourishing and attractive food at the lowest 
cost. Special exhibits of insects and their work, and the pub- 
lication of leaflets on insect pests and insects and gardens 
opened up another large field for service—nor was the public 


20 Report of the President 


slow to avail itself of new opportunities for learning how to 
extend the crops of its war gardens. The Mandan Corn 
movement started by the Museum in 1917 continued to 
gain in strength. The luncheon given by the President to 
demonstrate the food value of whale meat was nation-wide in 
its influence. 


At the time of the signing of the Armistice, November 11, 
1918, the Museum’s Honor Roll numbered sixty-eight names, 
and included all branches of military and naval 


Moreum service, also the Red Cross and other activities. 
Garvie The record of these enrolled men, whether floor 


attendants, preparators, scientific staff members 
or trustees, is without exception one of which the Museum 
is justly proud. 

Conspicuous service was rendered the cause by our Treas- 
urer, Mr. H. P. Davison, as Chairman of the Red Cross War 
Council; by Dr. Frank M. Chapman, as Director of the Bureau 
of Publications of the American Red Cross, and later as Red 
Cross Commissioner to South America; by Dr. Bashford Dean 
as Major in Ordnance; by Dr. Henry E. Crampton as Vice- 
Chairman of the Committee on Engineering and Education of 
the Advisory Commission of the Council of National Defense ; 
by Dr. C.-E. A. Winslow as member of the American Red 
Cross Mission to Russia; by Major Barrington Moore in the 
Forestry Service in France; and by Messrs. Andrews, Anthony, 
Akeley, Brown, Chapin, Cherrie, Eastman, Fabbri, Hull, 
Miller, Spinden and Sullivan. 

Weare equally proud of the service of the men of the ranks. 
All honor to Sergeant Charles A. Connolly, the only member 
of the Museum family who paid the great price for victory. 
His grave, near Chateau-Thierry, is to be marked with a grove 
of fruit trees, to be planted by the Museum, Our heartiest wel- 
come goes out to those who are returning, especially to Chris 
Schroth, who brings back the Croix de Guerre, to John O’Neill, 
Albert J. Kelly, Benjamin F. Connolly, Arthur W. Henn, 
Joseph S. McGarty and Laurence Ferri, all bearing honor 
wounds. Throughout the period of the war, the Trustees have 
paid to these employees the difference between the Federal 


Museum’s Contribution to Victory 21 


salary and the Museum salary, and now that the work has been 
done and well done, are glad to have them return to their 
former positions. 


While only one of the women of the Museum, Miss Marjorie 
A. Mallory, was called for service over seas, those who have 
remained behind have made a substantial con- 
Women’s tribution to the great cause. The American 
War Relief Museum War Relief Association, composed of 
employees of the Museum and members of their 
immediate families, has issued a summary of what has been 
accomplished since its organization in May, 1917. Among its 
activities is the work of three departments under the Red 
Cross, which have devoted themselves to the preparation of 
920 bandages and 28,755 surgical dressings and the making of 
688 hospital garments and 331 knitted articles. Garments 
knitted for other organizations than the Red Cross totaled 
1,015. The total amount of money raised from Museum em- 
ployees and other sources was $2,666.81. The Association also 
collected more than two tons of clothing for Belgium and 
France. 


Since September, 1917, Local Board, Division No. 129, of 
the Provost Marshal General of the War Department, has been 
quartered at the Museum, the Visitors’ Room, the 
ulna Academy Room and the West Assembly Room 
nrolment ‘ A 
being placed freely at their disposal. The work 
of this Board has been especially commended for its thorough- 
ness and efficiency by the Secretary of War. The Departments 
of Anthropology and Physiology cooperated with Dr. Jesse 
G. M. Bullowa, the examining physician of the Board, in the 
physical examination of the drafted men, with the result that 
the reports from this Board were more complete and thorough 
than from any other district. 


The Department of Public Education continued its codpera- 
tion with the Y. M. C. A. in supplying lantern slides and lec- 
tures. During the year, 27 lecture sets, comprising nearly 
1,700 slides, and also more than 3,000 miscellaneous slides, 
were prepared for the Y. M. C. A. for use in the encampments 


22 Report of the President 


at home and abroad. The department has also furnished 
guides for all soldiers and sailors who desired to be shown 

around the Museum. This service is being ex- 
Educational = tended in connection with the recently established 
aa in the Hospitality Room. The Library, in codperation 

with the American Library Association, sent 
copies of The American Museum Journal to all encampments 
in this country, and, through the Publicity Committee, invita- 
tions to visit the Museum, guides, and other literature have 
been distributed to the camps and recreation centers in the 
vicinity of New York City. 

The Museum, through Associate Curator Roy W. Miner of 
the Department of Invertebrate Zodlogy, codperated with Dr. 
Robert Underwood Johnson, President of the New York Com- 
mittee of the Italian War Relief Fund of America, in the work 
of examination, selection, and preparation for shipment of a 
number of compound microscopes suitable for bacteriological 
work, to be forwarded to Italy for use in the field hospitals. 


The Food Conservation Exhibit, prepared by the Depart- 
ment of Public Health, was shown in cooperation with the New 
York State and Federal Food Commissions at the 
ronte Grand Central Terminal in April and May. The 
ealth E A 
United States Department of Agriculture pro- 
nounced it the best food exhibit yet prepared, and it has been 
studied and copied by food educators from widely separated 
localities. 

The Liberty Field Hospital Ward, designed and constructed 
under the direction of President Osborn, by Chief of Construc- 
tion H. F. Beers, has been exhibited in the Museum, at the 
Grand Central Palace and at the Pacific Coast Land and Indus- 
trial Exposition at Oakland, California. 


Plans for a Reconstruction Hospital, to be connected with 

the laboratories and exhibition halls of the Mu- 

Reconstruc- = ceym, for the accommodation of several hundred 
tion Hospital 

wounded men, were worked out by Mr. Carl E.

The sudden cessation of the war brought this project to a close.

Permanent Endowment 23 


GROWTH OF GENERAL ENDOWMENT 


The scientific work of the Museum has been well provided 
for through the munificent bequests of Mr. and Mrs. Morris 
__K. Jesup. By the terms of Mr. Jesup’s will, his 
Need of bequest was strictly for the benefit of scientific 
General : ; Gat 
Endowment ¢XPloration, research, preparation, exhibition 
and publication. The educational work of the 
Museum, the contact with the public and the relations with the 
public schools are all inspired by this purely scientific work, 
yet they cannot legitimately draw support from the Jesup En- 
dowment. It is therefore to the General Endowment that we 
look for the means to extend this service to the people. 
It is very gratifying to report that during the past three 
years several important gifts or bequests to the General En- 
dowment have been received, as follows:

Even if the Museum should realize full value on all these 
bequests, the added income would be little more than sufficient 
to meet the present general running expenses, for the personal 


24 Report of the President 


cash contributions of the Trustees annually almost equal the 
income on $1,000,000, while the deficiency of the City Mainte- 
nance appropriation is more than the interest on a one-million- 
dollar endowment. Consequently, while these noble bequests 
swell the General Endowment to more than $3,000,000, an 
additional $2,000,000 is required to put the Museum on a 
secure financial footing for its general purposes. 


The munificent bequest of Mrs. Russell Sage is by far the 
largest which the Museum has received for its general work. 
It was accompanied by the following provision 
aa in Mrs. Sage’s will: 
equest - y 5 als ‘ 

“Tt is my desire that each religious, educational 
or charitable corporation which may receive a share of my 
residuary estate shall use the whole or a part of the legacy 
received by it for some purpose which will commemorate the 
name of my husband, but I simply express this as a desire and 
do not impose it as a condition of my gift.” 


This bequest furnishes a striking and convincing example of 
the disastrous effect of the law of September 8, 
Repeal of 1916, imposing a tax on bequests to education 


ee Oe and philanthropy, instead of exempting them 
from taxation as in all former legislation of the 
Government. 


Under Mrs. Sage’s will the Museum is to receive two shares 
of the residuary estate estimated as $1,600,000, out of a total 
residuary estate of $41,600,000. The Federal Estate Tax 
would amount to $12,652,500, but the loss through forced 
liquidation to pay the tax is estimated as $3,643,400. Thus the 
total reduction of the residuary estate would amount to $16,- 
295,900, or approximately 40%. Hence, instead of receiving 
the $1,600,000 of the original bequest, the Museum would 
receive only $960,000. 

In 1917, through a General National Committee,* of which 
I had the honor to be Chairman, a vigorous effort was made 
to have this law repealed, with respect to the taxation of be- 
quests or gifts to educational, philanthropic and religious insti- 


* See Annual Report of the President for 1917, pages 20-24. 


Repeal of Tax on Education 25 


tutions. An amendment introduced by Senator Henry L. 
Myers of Montana, providing for total exemption, was de- 
feated, but an amendment introduced by Senator Henry F. 
Hollis, exempting gifts to an amount not in excess of I5 per 
cent. of the taxpayer’s taxable income, was passed. Encour- 
aged by this action, the National Committee, in codperation 
with the Special Committee, of which Professor Samuel Mc- 
Cune Lindsay of Columbia University was Chairman, renewed 
their efforts to have this iniquitous legislation repealed. At 
the request of the Committee, Mr. Lewis Cass Ledyard pre- 
pared a brief, reviewing State and Federal tax laws, and point- 
ing out the disastrous effect of the existing law on the Sage 
Bequests. Copies of this brief were sent to all the members 
of the Senate Finance Committee and the Ways and Means 
Committee of the House. The New York Committee appointed 
Professor Lindsay its representative at Washington. The final 
result is most gratifying. The Revenue Bill, adopted by the 
Senate and House, reads: 


SACK 


Sec. 403. That for the purpose of the tax the value of the net estate 
shall be determined— 


(a) In the case of a resident, by deducting from the value of the 
gross estate— 

(1) KE 

(2) *** 

(3) The amount of all bequests, legacies, devises, or gifts, to or for 
the use of the United States, any State, Territory, any political sub- 
division thereof, or the District of Columbia, for exclusively public 
purposes, or to or for the use of any corporation organized and oper- 
ated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educa- 
tional purposes, including the encouragement of art and the prevention 
of cruelty to children or animals, no part of the net earnings of which 
inures to the benefit of any private stockholder or individual, or to a 
trustee or trustees exclusively for such religious, charitable, scientific, 
literary, or educational purposes. This deduction shall be made in case 
of the estates of all decedents who have died since December 31, 1917; 

Fook 


This retroactive application of the law will enable the Mu- 
seum to reap the full value of the Sage Bequest and the Doug- 
las Bequest. 


26 Report of the President 


THE PEOPLE SHOULD MAINTAIN THE MUSEUM 


The tablet in the Entrance Hall of this institution bears the 
following inscription: 


THE MUSEUM BUILDING 
ERECTED AND MAINTAINED 
BY THE 
PEOPLE OF NEW YORK 


At the present time this tablet does not express the truth. 
For reasons of economy the Board of Estimate and Appor- 
tionment felt compelled to reduce the maintenance appropri- 
ation of the Museum for the year 1919 to $200,000, which was 
$40,000 less than the amount needed. This has obliged the 
Trustees and friends of the Museum, in order to keep the 
building open for part time operation, to make cash contribu- 
tions totaling $65,000, to meet the deficiency of $40,000 in 
maintenance and to advance the scale of wages and salaries in 
the Museum to a point commensurate with the wages and 
salaries paid in other departments of the City. In our opinion 
it is in the best interests of the people of this City that they 
should make the sacrifice necessary to continue building and 
to provide annually the maintenance for this great educational 
institution. The Trustees have made a mistake, to our mind, 
in annually making up maintenance deficiencies from contribu- 
tions of unrestricted funds. The institution should be main- 
tained in the future in the spirit of the Contract of 1878 
between the Museum and the City, namely, that the City pay 
for the operating expenses, while the Trustees pay for the 
collections and all the scientific work. In recent years the 
Trustees have drawn so largely upon their own funds for main- 
tenance purposes that the growth of the scientific collections 
and exhibitions has been held back, with the result that the 
people of the City of New York are the ultimate sufferers. 

Through a like policy, the New York Public Library and the 
Metropolitan Museum of Art are making similar inroads on 
the income from their endowment funds to meet current ex- 


Future Maintenance Policy 27. 


penses, instead of purchasing books, pictures and works of art; 
in the end this means the deprivation of the people. 


The expenditures for the maintenance of the Museum by the 
people have increased far less rapidly than the expenditures of 
the City departments: while the per capita cost 
Comparative of the City government has increased more than 
aa 30 per cent. in the last twenty years, the per capita 
cost of maintenance of the Museum has decreased 
8 per cent. Inasmuch as the work of the Museum for the edu- 
cation of the people is in no sense a luxury, it is reasonable 
to expect that maintenance costs shall increase proportionately 
with the costs of the City government. In general we may 
regard the reduction of the maintenance appropriation for the 
Museum as in reality a reduction of expenditures for educa- 
tion, and any city with the wealth of New York ought to pro- 
vide liberally for education. At the present time the taxpayers 
of the City of New York are paying less than one-third of the 
annual cost of the American Museum and its work. If the 
taxpayers really understood the situation, they would support 
the City government in granting larger maintenance appro- 
priations. 


The people of the City would take more interest and pride 
in an institution to which they partly contributed and for which 
they made some sacrifice. Therefore, it should 


Future be a part of the future policy of the American 
Maintenance . : 
Policy Museum to place the cost of maintenance entirely 


upon the taxpayers of the City of New York and 
not to continue individual contributions or subscriptions for 
this purpose. It appears that to continue the administration 
of the Museum as a thoroughly democratic institution, de- 
signed for the welfare of all the people, and open free to the 
public at all times, the people should participate in its support 
from public funds, and that the maintenance of its school 
and other educational facilities should not be a matter of pri- 
vate gift. This is the spirit of the original Charter, of the 
original Contract and of all subsequent modifications and 
additions to this Contract. 


28 Report of the President 


In order to avoid any future misunderstanding, it is desir- 
able that the proper distribution of maintenance expenses 
should be determined on principles to be established by the 
Trustees in consultation with the Comptroller and the Presi- 
dent of the Department of Parks, subject to ratification by the 
Board of Estimate and Apportionment. The President has had 
repeated conferences on this subject with the Comptroller and 
other representatives of the Board of Estimate and Appor- 
tionment, and is seeking to secure from the Mayor and the 
Board of Estimate and Apportionment their judgment and 
advice as to the future policy of the City in this very important 
matter of democratic administration. Conferences will also be 
held with President Somers and other members of the Board 
of Education. The reduction of the maintenance appropria- 
tion, together with the urgently needed increases in scientific 
and administrative salaries and the advance in the costs of all 
materials purchased by the Museum, increases varying all the 
way from 20 per cent. to 64 per cent., render necessary the 
consideration of the future scientific activity of the Museum. 


EXPLORATION, RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION 


Although the field exploration of the Museum was in general 
suspended until after the war, it was found expedient to con- 
tinue on a small scale certain explorations in China as well as 
in various parts of North and South America. The year, how- 
ever, has been one of the most active in the entire history of 
the Museum in research and in publication, which was mainly 
supported through the generous provision of the Morris K. 
Jesup Fund. 


Mr. Roy C. Andrews sailed for China on June 28 to take up 
the work of the Second Asiatic Zodlogical Expe- 
dition. Mr. Andrews will make studies and col- 
lections in the Gobi Desert, a region little known to the natu- 
ralist. 

The Third Asiatic Zodlogical Expedition left San Francisco 
on July 27, under the leadership of Mr. Paul J. Rainey, accom-

panied by Mr. Edmund Heller as naturalist ; the entiré expense 
of the expedition was borne by Mr. Rainey. 


Mr. Earl H. Morris, assisted by Mr. B. T. B. Hyde, contin- 
ued the excavation of the Indian ruins at Aztec, New Mexico. 
These ruins are yielding valuable collections and 
arenes historic data, which make this piece of research 
rcheology ; 
work one of the most important that the Museum 
has ever undertaken in anthropology. These explorations are 
made possible through the contributions of Mr. Archer M. 
Huntington. 

Mr. Leslie Spier made archeological explorations in Ari- 
zona, visiting the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in the White 
Mountains, and the Rio Verde Valley. He also visited the 
Havasupai Indians for the purpose of making ethnological 
studies and collections. 

Dr. Herbert J. Spinden returned in December from an ex- 
pedition of eighteen months in Central America and the United 
States of Colombia. His work was entirely successful, espe- 
cially along the lines of decorative art, in which connection he 
secured important archzological and ethnological collections. 


During the summer, Mr. Roy W. Miner and other members 

of the Department of Invertebrate Zodlogy spent 

Zodlogy and Several weeks at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, 

Paleontology making field studies for the Bryozoan Group for 
the Darwin Hall. 

Mr. Walter Granger completed the exploration of the Huer- 
fano Basin, Colorado, and secured a very interesting fauna, 
which links up the Lower Eocene and the Middle Eocene. 

Three months were spent by Mr. Albert Thomson in ex- 
ploration of the Snake Creek deposits in western Nebraska, 
where he obtained a considerable number of fossil mammals, 
including skulls of a very large rhinoceros and a rare and 
interesting rodent. 


It is an auspicious coincidence that the first volume of the 
publications of the American Museum Congo Expedition ap- 
pears at the time of the release of Belgium from the oppression 


30 Report of the President 


of war, and that the Museum is in a position to send to the 
Belgian Government a report on the achievements of the Congo 

Expedition, which, it will be recalled, was insti- 
Publications tuted with the financial and political support of 
ica roi the Belgian Government in 1908. It is proposed 

to publish these reports under the general title, 
“Zoology of the Belgian Congo,” and to issue a series of eight 
to ten volumes composed of articles contributed to current 
numbers of the American Museum Bulletin by members of 
the Museum staff and by other foremost naturalists and special- 
ists of this country. When the various groups of animals are 
fully reported on, the reports will be gathered into volumes 
according to their taxonomic groups, that is, the papers on 
mammals will be published together, the papers on birds, and 
so forth. 


MEMBERSHIP AND STAFF 


At the Annual Meeting, held February 4, 1918, Mr. William 
Averell Harriman was elected a Trustee in the Class of 1921, 
to fill the vacancy due to the death of Seth Low. 

Through the death of Dr. James Douglas on June 25, 1918, 
the Museum lost another of its most honored 
members. 

The Trustees of the Museum, at their regular meeting on 
November 11, 1918, adopted the following minute and ordered 
it suitably engrossed: 


Trustees 


Doctor James Douglas became a member of the Board 
of Trustees on November 8, 1909, and at once showed a 
very active and intelligent interest in the development of 
the Museum. His principal solicitude was for the devel- 
opment of our collection of minerals, the anthropology of 
the southwest, and the future educational influence of the 
Museum, especially in applied and economic mineralogy. 

The Museum is deeply indebted to Doctor Douglas for 
his princely donation of the model of the Copper Queen 
Mine, which is the most perfect example of an educational 
exhibit of this character. 

It was on the public educational side that his thoughts 


— 


Choate Memorial V olume 31 


dwelt most frequently. He believed that the Museum was 
doing invaluable educational work among the youth of the 
City. He expressed this thought to the President espe- 
cially in connection with his contribution of $100,000 to 
the Building Fund, which came in the form of a check 
the day after the appeal for funds was sent out by the 
Trustees. This gift greatly hastened the other contribu- 
tions and is now held as the nucleus of our Building Fund 
of $1,000,000. 

Doctor Douglas finally manifested his devotion to the 
Museum and faith in its future by his bequest of $100,000. 
His contributions, amounting to $211,500, constitute him 
one of the most generous of our Benefactors. 

He loved to visit the Museum and often gave to the 
President and the Curator of Geology the benefit of his 
unsurpassed experience in the field of pure and applied 
science. We shall greatly miss his genial and inspiring 
presence. 


Pursuant to the action of the Board of Trustees, the Presi- 
dent prepared a Memorial Volume reviewing the long service 
of the Honorable Joseph H. Choate to the Mu- 

Choate seum. This has been printed in quarto, compris- 
premonial ing thirty-four pages. A copy was presented to 
Mrs. Choate and duplicate copies have been sent 

to the Trustees. Copies have also been deposited in the New 
York Public Library, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in 
the Harvard Club of New York City, with the Association of 
the Bar, New York City, with the Century Association, New 
York City, in the Library of The American Museum of 
Natural History, in the Library of Congress at Washington, 
in the Boston Public Library, at Harvard University, Cam- 
bridge, Mass., and in the Salem Public Library, Salem, Mass. 


The Scientific Staff for the year 1918 numbered 54. Of 
these, 15 members have been directly engaged in 
meeetine the Federal Service, while many of the others 
have indirectly contributed to the winning of 

the war by furnishing expert information. 


32 Report of the President 


On April 17, Mr. Herbert P. Whitlock was appointed Cura- 
tor of Mineralogy. 

Dr. Robert H. Lowie returned from the University of Cali- 
fornia, where he had been acting as Associate Professor of 
Anthropology during the academic year 1917-1918, in ex- 
change with Dr. A. L. Kroeber, who became Associate Curator 
in the Department of Anthropology in the Museum, January 
I—-July 1, 1918. 

Dr. Herman K. Haeberlin, appointed in July, 1917, as an 
Assistant in the Department of Anthropology, died in Cam- 
bridge, Massachusetts, on February 12, 1918. Dr. Haeberlin 
was a young man of great promise, particularly fitted for 
anthropological investigation. 

On April 17, Mr. B. Talbot B. Hyde was appointed tem- 
porary assistant in the Department of Anthropology for nine 
months, beginning April 1. 


PUBLIC ACTIVITIES, OF THE STAPF 


The participation of the men of the Staff in the affairs of 
the City, State and Nation bears eloquent testimony to the 
widening influence of the Museum. Recognition of this public 
service has been evidenced in many ways during the year. 

The Geological Society of France awarded President Osborn 
the Gaudry Medal, which was established by the Society in 
1910 in honor of the distinguished paleontologist Albert 
Gaudry. Previous awards of the medal have been made to the 
following geologists and paleontologists: Albert Gaudry, 
1910; Marcellin Boule, 1911; Henri Douville, 1912; Edouard 
Suess, 1913; Emile Haug, 1914; Charles D. Walcott, 1917. 

The President was honored by the Royal Society of London, 
in having conferred on him the Darwin Medal for Distinction 
in Research Work in Vertebrate Morphology and Paleontology. 

At the session of the Royal Irish Academy on March 16, 
President Osborn was elected an Honorary Member of the 
Academy, in recognition of his distinguished services in the 
Department of Science. 

The National Academy of Sciences at its April meeting 


Public Activities of Staff 33 


awarded to Dr. Frank M. Chapman, Curator of Ornithology, 
the first Daniel Giraud Elliot medal and honorarium. These 
are to be bestowed annually for preeminence in zodlogy or 
paleontology under the terms of the gift to the Academy, in 
1916, of $8,000, by Miss Margaret Henderson Elliot to estab- 
lish a fund in memory of her father. The result of Dr. Chap- 
man’s valuable contribution to Zoology, “The Distribution of 
Bird Life in Colombia; a Contribution to a Biological Survey 
of South America,” was published in 1917 as Volume XXXVI 
of the Bulletin of The American Museum of Natural History. 
Although Dr. Chapman described therein a very large number 
of species and subspecies of South American birds, it was for 
the scientific value of his deductions and the establishment of 
zonal and faunal boundaries over a wide geographical range 
that the decision was made in his favor. 

New York University conferred the honorary degree of 
Doctor of Public Health on Dr. Winslow. 

Mr. Roy C. Andrews was elected a Corresponding Member 
of the Zoological Society of London at its meeting on De- 
cember 19, 1917. 

The Angrand Foundation of France has awarded a prize of 
five thousand francs to Dr. Herbert J. Spinden, in recognition 
of his memoir on Maya Art, published by the Peabody Mu- 
seum of Harvard University. This prize is awarded once in 
five years for original investigations in the anthropology of 
North and South America. 

The Galton Society for the Study of the Origin and Evolu- 
tion of Man was organized at the Museum on April 16. The 
first formal meeting was held at the home of Professor Osborn 
on the evening of April 17. Dr.-W. K. Gregory was elected 
Secretary. 

Dr. F. A. Lucas, Dr. E. O. Hovey, Mr. Roy W. Miner and 
Miss Ann E. Thomas represented the Museum at the meeting 
of the American Association of Museums in Springfield, 
Massachusetts, May 20-22. 

Dr. Ralph W. Tower and Miss Mary C. Dickerson were the 
official representatives of the Museum at the meeting in cele- 
bration of the 175th anniversary of the birth of Abbé Réné 
Just Hatty, the great French crystallographer (1743-1822). 


34 Report of the President 


The meeting was held on February 28 at the Museum, in 
cooperation with the delegates from the New York Academy 
of Sciences, Section E of the American Association for the 
Advancement of Science, and the New York Mineralogical 
Club. A paper written by the late Louis P. Gratacap for the 
occasion was read. 

Dr. Robert H. Lowie represented the Museum at the Fif- 
tieth Anniversary of the University of California, during the 
week of March 23. 

At the meeting of the Entomological Society of America, 
held in Baltimore in December, Dr. Frank E. Lutz was elected 
a member of the Executive Committee. 

At the annual meeting of the American Anthropological 
Association, held in Baltimore in December, Dr. Clark Wissler 
was elected President of the Association and Dr. Pliny E. 
Goddard was reélected Editor. 

At the fourth meeting of the American Society of Ichthyolo- 
gists and Herpetologists, held at the Brooklyn Museum, on 
November 15, Dr. Bashford Dean was elected a Vice-Presi- 
dent and Mr. John T. Nichols Secretary. 

Dr. Hovey represented the Museum at the annual meeting 
of the Geological Society of America, in St. Louis, December 
27-29, 1917. 

Dr. C.-E. A. Winslow was appointed consulting expert on 
industrial hygiene to the United States Public Health Service, 
and was in charge of a squad of men studying conditions 
affecting the health and efficiency of munition workers. 

Dr. Winslow served as a member of two of the subcom- 
mittees of the Medical Advisory Board of the Council of 
National Defense, in connection with nursing and child 
hygiene. 

In June and July, Dr. Winslow was in charge of the courses 
in bacteriology and hygiene at Vassar College Training Camp 
for Nurses. In August he gave an intensive course in indus- 
trial hygiene at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As 
Chairman of a committee appointed by the Committee on 
Higher Education and Special Training, he was in charge of 
the work of preparing the official syllabus for instruction in 
hygiene and sanitation to be offered to the enlisted men in the 


Hospitality to Societies 35 


Students’ Army Training Corps at four hundred colleges in 
the fall of 1918. 

A commission for the study and control of epidemic influ- 
enza was appointed by Governor Whitman, of which Dr. Wins- 
low was appointed Secretary. 

Among the Associate Editors of the Journal of Physical 
Anthropology, a new publication, are Dr. Clark Wissler and 
Dr. J. H. McGregor. 

Dr. Pliny E. Goddard is one of the editors of The Inter- 
national Journal of American Linguistics, recently inaugurated. 

Mr. Herbert P. Whitlock and Dr. George F. Kunz are 
among the Associate Editors of the American Mineralogist. 


HOSPITALITY ‘TO; SOCIETIES 


As for many years past, the Museum provided meeting 
rooms for educational and scientific societies, among them the 
New York Academy of Sciences, the American Association for 
the Advancement of Science, the American Scenic and His- 
toric Preservation Society, the American Ornithologists’ 
Union, and the Horticultural Society of New York. The De- 
partment of Education of the City of New York has held 
lectures in our auditorium on Tuesday and Saturday evenings 
as for many years. 


The British Educational Mission to the United States, com- 
posed of distinguished representatives of the Universities of 
England, Scotland and Ireland, was entertained 

British by the Trustees on October 10. The Mission 
= loregeegay came to this country to develop closer codpera- 
tion between British and American institutions 

and to strengthen the bond of sympathy and understanding 
between the two nations. The party made a tour of inspection 
of the halls and gave special attention to the methods of co- 
operation with the public schools. The members of the Mis- 
sion were: Dr. Arthur Everett Shipley, Vice-Chancellor, Uni- 
versity of Cambridge; the Reverend Edward M. Walker, 
Fellow and Librarian of Queen’s College, Oxford University ; 
Sir Henry Miers, Vice-Chancellor, University of Manchester ;

38 Report of the President 


GENERAL ADMINISTRATION OF THE MUSEUM 
Freperic A. Lucas, Director 


It may be again said that, while war conditions have affected 
the work of the Museum, satisfactory progress has been made 
in the care and installation of the collections, in research and 
in publication, detailed accounts of which may be found in the 
reports of the various departments. 


The sales of popular publications were better than for some 
time past, due partly to the fact that many of the returning 
soldiers have visited the Museum, as well as 
Bonnie many “out-of-town” visitors. There were sold 
ublications é 
at the sergeants’ desks 3,610 copies of the 
General Guide; 1,770 Handbooks; 2,478 Leaflets; and 1,095 
reprints, the total of these sales being 8,953 copies. In addi- 
tion, many publications have been sold through the Registrar’s 
office and the Library, especially Handbooks, which are used to 
a considerable extent as text-books and works of reference. 
A new edition of the Guide, the fifth in recent years, was 
brought out in January, a Guide Leaflet on “Insects and Dis- 
ease” in June, and a Handbook on the “Fishes of the Vicinity 
of New York City” in December, while the close of the year 
finds several handbooks and leaflets nearly ready for the 
printer. 


A most important step was taken by the Museum in under- 

taking to print its scientific papers, and with this end in view 

there have been installed a Whitlock Premier 

apace and cylinder press with 33 x 45 inch bed, capable of 

2,200 impressions per hour; a Monotype casting 

machine with lead, rule and display type attachments; and a 
D.D. composing machine. 

Not including the various galleys of matter for the scientific 

papers, there have been printed during the year a Handbook of 


CHARACTERISTIC MAMMALS OF NORTH AMERICA 


BEASTS OF PREY: Order Ferz 
BEARS: Family Ursidae 


Three groups of bears are found 
in North America, the Black, 
Grizzly and Brown, each repre- 
sented by several species. The 
first two groups are peculiar to 
North America; the Brown bears 
are related to those of northern 
Europe and Asia and their ances- 
tors probably came over at the 
same time as those of the bison 
and mountain sheep; the Polar 
Bear is a strictly Arctic animal 
and rarely reaches the continent. 

Roughly speaking, Brown bears 
are found along the seacoast and 
the borders of big rivers; Grizzlies 
dwell among the hills, and the 
Black Bear group is partial to 
swamps and forests. 

There have been generally rec- 
ognized 14 species and subspecies 
of Black bears, 5 of Grizzlies, and 
10 of Brown bears. Recently Dr 
C. Hart Merriam has allowed not 
less than 86 species and subspecies 
of Grizzlies and Brown bears.

The laws that govern museum attendance have not yet been 
discovered and formulated, and one can only say that, like bird 
migration, it is largely affected by the weather; 
cold or rain keeps the public in their homes; the 
fine weather of spring takes them into the parks or the nearby 
country; cool bright days when the walking is good but it is 
too chilly to sit by the wayside bring visitors to museums. But 
sudden losses in attendance may and do occur without ap- 
parent reason, even when the number and character of the ex- 
hibits are steadily improving. So it is encouraging to note that 
the attendance of 1918 has been good in spite of the uneasiness 
and uncertainty caused by the war, in spite of the bitter 
weather of the early part of the year, and in spite of the epi- 
demic of influenza that swept over the country in the fall and 
winter. 

Bagehot’s dictum in regard to statistics is well known; but 
much depends on knowing the attendant circumstances. Thus, 
while there was an apparent loss of 158,849 visitors to the ex- 
hibition halls in 1918, when compared with 1917, this is due 
largely to the decreased attendance during the spring and fall 
flower shows, that of 1918 being 137,686 less than that of 1917. 


Attendance 


40 Report of the President 


The principal loss has apparently been in the younger and 
the less well-to-do groups of visitors, those who are directly 
affected by the increased cost of the very necessities of life and 
those who have made real sacrifices to purchase War Savings 
Stamps or to contribute to Red Cross work. Light is thrown 
on this by the conditions in the National Association of Audu- 
bon Societies, where junior membership has dropped not 
merely by thousands but by tens of thousands, due to competi- 
tion in schools as to which should contribute most to war work. 

That the loss is not among the well-to-do or out-of-town 
visitors is indicated by the sales of Guides and Handbooks, 
especially during the latter part of the year, when many sol- 
diers were passing through the city, and the sales of Guides 
were largest.

Special exhibits are uncertain forms of attraction, nor does 
direct advertising do much to swell the numbers of visitors; 
newspaper articles do much more, as is shown by inquiries for 
certain things. 


Early in the year, the Committee on Public Information was 
reorganized, and Mr. George N. Pindar was made Chairman. 
The other members of the Committee were the Director, the 
Assistant Secretary, and Miss Jessie M. Davies as Secretary. 


* Includes pupils, estimated at 15,000, attending lectures in the Local Centers. 


Public Information Committee 4I 


In addition to performing his duties as Registrar, Mr. Pindar 
has conducted the affairs of the Committee with energy and 

marked efficiency. Seventy articles were pre- 
Public In- = pared and distributed to the leading newspapers 
a and magazines of the country and syndicated to 

a large number of other publications. In addi- 
tion to this, a great deal of practical assistance has been given 
to reporters and other special writers. 

At intervals during the year a “Museum Letter” was sent to 
our men in the service. These letters contained a message 
from some one of the Museum staff, a list of our men in ser- 
vice, with addresses, and a budget of news. 

Other war work of the Committee included the distribution 
of copies of The American Museum Journal and of the 
“Guide to the Nature Treasures of New York City” to all the 
encampments of the vicinity, and the distribution among the 
hotels and various canteens of the city of nearly 60,000 folders 
inviting men in the service to visit the Museum. Every center 
of the War Camp Community Service, the Y. M.C. A., Y. M. 
H. A., K. of C. and other recreation agencies and the return- 
ing transports have been provided with literature and an- 
nouncements concerning the Museum and invitations to visit 
us. Asa further courtesy to our soldiers and sailors, arrange- 
ments have been made to establish a Hospitality Room for the 
uniformed men visiting the Museum. 


The routine work of the Registrar’s office has included the 
recording of 611 accessions, 385 loans and 166 exchanges, also 
the making of 399 shipments, consisting of 499 boxes which 
were made ready for transportation; 3,176 shipments, consist- 
ing of 6,073 packages, were received and forwarded. The 
subscriptions to The American Museum Journal have also 
been cared for by this office. These subscriptions have been 
increased by 263, the number at the close of the year being 736. 


The most important addition to the exhibits during the year 
was that showing the Reptile Life of Florida, the largest and 
finest habitat group yet produced by the Museum. Other 
groups are, the Nahant Tide Pool, Lemur, Blue Shark, and 


42 Report of the President 


Migratory Butterfly, so that a fair balance has been preserved 

in the various Zodlogical departments of the Museum. Im- 

portant individual pieces are an Okapi, the great 

Oe es Magnolia, and an extensive series of teeth with 
ibits : 

special reference to the teeth of Mammals. 

The rearrangement of the Primates Hall is practically com- 
plete, though many minor improvements remain to be effected, 
and important additions are in course of preparation, including 
a group of Howling Monkeys and one of African Pygmies. 
This last, representing a low type of man, is a balance for the 
Orang Group, which presents a “high” type of ape. 

Owing to the high cost of structural iron, the city deemed 
it inadvisable to close the well in the third floor, which would 
have permitted the construction of a darkened corridor for 
groups, and these are now being installed in a special enclosure 
on the north side of the hall. 

Good progress has been made in the Hall of North American 
Mammals, which is now in fair shape as to arrangement and 
labeling. An attempt to furnish the visitor with information 
as to the kinds and numbers of mammals found in North 
America has been made by providing a series of large Family 
labels on which the range of the family is shown and the num- 
ber of species and subspecies given. Whether or not these 
matters are really of interest to visitors remains to be seen. 

The completion of a habitat group of Timber Wolves, begun 
in the early summer, was prevented by Mr. Nichols being 
called for camouflage work, and later by extremely difficult 
problems in connection with the proper lighting of the group. 
The installation in the North American Hall is a case of put- 
ting new wine into old bottles; of putting habitat groups into 
a hall planned for daylight exhibits, of placing them in a Pro- 
crustean bed of limited length, breadth and depth, and of utiliz- 
ing what was available rather than doing what one would like. 

A full-sized reproduction of the Killer Whale has been pre- 
pared by Mr. Block from data provided by Mr. Andrews, and 
this is ready for hanging near the reproduction of the Sulphur- 
bottom Whale. 

Improvements in the exhibition collection of Mammals are 
becoming more and more difficult, owing to the great conges-

tion. It is not merely difficult to find a good place for speci- 
mens but very difficult to find any. 


Among Special Exhibits made during the year were: one 

showing the Art Work of the New York High Schools and one 

by the Board of Water Supply, New York City, 

Enecial of maps, plans and models of the Catskill Aque- 

duct and the construction. This attracted much 

attention, and the large relief map of the region occupied by 

the Catskill reservoir and of the route of the Aqueduct has 
been deposited in the Museum. 

An exhibit of the large series of ivory carvings secured by 
the Congo expedition has been placed temporarily in the Gem 
Hall, and the food exhibit in the Hall of Forestry. 

Mr. Knight has added three panels to the series in the 
Quaternary Hall, including one of the Mastodon and Royal 
Bison; Mr. Taylor has completed the side panels for the North 
Pacific Hall; Miss Margaret Henderson Elliot has presented a 
bronze bust of her father, Dr. Daniel Giraud Elliot, and Mr. 
Stanley G. Middleton has presented a portrait of Professor 
A. S. Bickmore. 

The Art Collection of the Museum, including under this 
head the various busts, portraits, paintings and drawings, is 
quite large and includes some important and interesting pieces, 
and when opportunity permits will be duly catalogued and de- 
scribed. 

An exhibit of about 200 primitive costumes was arranged by 
Mr. M. D. C. Crawford in the Philippine Hall. These cos- 
tumes were taken from our storage and exhibition collections. 

At the Sixth National Textile Exhibit, at the Grand Central 
Palace, the Museum had on exhibition prehistoric Peruvian 
cloths and garments, and clothing of modern primitive peoples. 
The specimens selected for this purpose have been favorites 
with professional designers who visit the Museum’s collections 
for inspiration. The influence which these collections have 
exerted on textile art was clearly shown by the exposition. 

The intense, long-continued cold early in the year wrought 
havoc among the Habitat Groups, in which water is repre- 
sented by celluloid, and five were seriously damaged, including 


44 Report of the President 


the Frog, San Joaquin Valley, and Newark Marsh Groups. 
It was not possible to repair all of these without neglecting 
other equally important work, but three of them have been re- 
stored to their original condition. 


The more evident work of the Department of Construction 
has been the completion of four fine concrete storage rooms 
across the gallery of the West Wing, of twelve 
Care of desk cases, fifth floor, for minerals, and thirteen 
Pee metal frame cases for exhibits, the casing of the 
Florida, Wolf and Lemur Groups, the making 
of 500 glazed drawers for insects and 1,600 storage trays. But 
these are simply the more evident things, and repairs and 
alterations are steadily going on everywhere. Few realize the 
amount of time required for the mere care of the building and 
keeping it and the multitudinous cases in good order; fewer 
still appreciate the amount of work and material involved in 
the minor changes and improvements in the exhibits that are 
continually taking place. 

By virtue of a special appropriation for the purpose, the wall 
and floor cases of the Department of Geology have been re- 
finished, having been in continuous use for about fifty years, 
and the walls of the Woodland, Plains Indian, and Insect Halls 
painted. 

Extensive and much needed alterations have been made on 
the window casings of the Philippine Hall, which, owing to 
poor workmanship, have never been satisfactory, and the 
upper windows in the Tertiary Hall have been made tight. 
These are simply some of the major repairs but give an idea of 
the many demands on the mechanic force, the roof of the 
building alone calling for practically the continuous services of 
one man, and repairs to floors and walls are steadily called for. 

Owing to the seriously corroded condition of the smokestack 
of the heating and lighting plant and to the failure of the City 
to provide for its immediate repair, the Executive Committee 
authorized the President to order the work done, at a cost of 
$3,350. It is expected that the City will ultimately reimburse 
the Trustees for this necessary expenditure. 

On May 21, lightning struck the east tower of the Museum, 


Care of Building 45 


breaking off large pieces of the stone and causing considerable 
damage. The President has made application to the Park De- 
partment for the issue of Special Revenue Bonds of $2,500 to 
make the necessary repairs. 


The work of the Heating and Lighting Department has been 
as usual extremely efficient and economical, though with the 
price of coal as it has been and is, the actual cost 
of operating is naturally greater than in 1917. It 
may be noted that the price of coal has exactly 
doubled since 1914 and that wages have greatly increased. 

The work of utilizing the new types of lamps to improve the 
lighting of the exhibition halls has proceeded as rapidly as pos- 
sible without special appropriation for either material or ad- 
ditional assistance, and the close of the year finds the lighting 
of the North Pacific Hall vastly improved by the introduction 
of indirect lighting by means of high power nitrogen lamps. 

The improvements effected in lamps and methods are shown 
by the fact that without any addition to engine room equipment 
and force it is now possible to illuminate the entire building at 
one time—something impossible previously. Much time and 
labor are involved in the lighting of the habitat groups, such as 
the Florida, Lemur and Wolf Groups, for each new group is 
a problem in itself, not the least of the difficulties being that of 
finding a readily accessible source of supply, caused by old 
methods of wiring and inconvenient location of switch boxes. 

Of even more importance is the question of making suitable 
provision for the control of the lights for the present groups 
and for the installation of future groups. A special panel 
energized by a separate switch on the power house panel board 
is needed for this purpose, from which all wires for groups 
should lead so that there would be no physical connection be- 
tween the lighting of the groups and that of the exhibition 
halls. This is a matter for which a special appropriation should 
be made in the near future as it necessarily entails a readjust- 
ment of existing conditions. 


Heating and 
Lighting 


The Director is glad to report that two 70-foot flagpoles of 
Oregon pine have been placed in front of the Museum, so that 


46 Report of the President 


one of the needs of the Museum is provided for. It is im- 
portant that the entire south front of the Museum grounds 
should be protected by an iron fence six feet high 
ree to prevent damage to the grass, trees and shrubs. 
This area is now unprotected and is used as a 
playground by children, who wear off the grass and break the 
trees and shrubs, with the result that this portion of the 
grounds is in an unsightly condition, instead of forming, as it 
should, an appropriate setting for the Museum building. 
Those who advocate unrestricted use of the parks for play- 
grounds forget that grown-ups are entitled to some considera- 
tion and that a piece of property costing over five million dol- 
lars and visited yearly by three quarters of a million persons 
from all parts of the country should be properly cared for. 

The crying need is still for a new wing, in order to provide 
exhibition, storage and work rooms. The present space is 
taxed to the utmost, and the second floor of the central pavilion 
is in especially bad shape, containing, besides the exhibit of 
reptiles, a heterogeneous assemblage of birds and mammals, 
some of which are placed on top of the cases. It is not a ques- 
tion of finding suitable room, but of finding any room. 

The need of a hall for special and temporary exhibitions is 
greater than ever, and the Museum loses many opportunities 
to codperate with other institutions and societies simply for 
lack of space. The proposed Southwest Court Building would 
provide for this as well as for workrooms, studios, and storage 
for molds and casts now scattered in various places, some 
almost inaccessible. 


Public Education 47 


REPORTS OF THE CURATORS 


PUBLIC EDUCATION IN THE MUSEUM 
AND IN THE SCHOOLS * 


GreorcE H. SHERwoop, Curator 


The educational work of the Museum has suffered from the 
exigencies of the year. The thoughts of staff, teachers and 
pupils have been concentrated on the great struggle, and it has 
been difficult to take up subjects not directly connected with it. 
In spite of these distractions, however, the important connec- 
tions between the Museum and the public schools have been 
maintained. This is true of all branches of the work—circulat- 
ing nature study collections, the lectures to school children, the 
education for the blind, the loan collections for the libraries 
and the circulation of slides in the schools. 

The statistics for the year are less impressive than in pre- 
vious years. This, however, is to be expected, as the ex- 
treme cold weather of the winter and the epidemic of in- 
fluenza in the fall interfered with the normal activities of 
the children, while direct war work has required the atten- 
tion of members of our staff. 


Through its cooperation with the Y. M. C. A., the depart- 
ment has made a valuable contribution to war work. Last 
year, we undertook the preparation, by mem- 

War Work _— bers of the scientific staff and other explorers, 
Pcieliceut of a series of “Exploration Tales for Soldiers 
and Sailors.” Each “Tale” consisted of about 

sixty slides accompanied with a manuscript dictated by the ex- 
plorer himself. Two sets of each lecture were loaned to the 
Y. M. C. A. for use in the encampments at home and abroad 
as well as on the transports. The initial cost has been borne 


* Under the Department of Public Education (see also pages 181 and 182). 


48 Report of the President 


by the Museum. Duplicates of these lectures, or “picture- 
looks,” their official title, have been made at a very low cost 
price for the Y. M. C. A. Seven of these “picturelooks” have 
been completed during the year, and twenty-seven sets, com- 
prising more than 1,700 slides, were turned over to the Y. M. 
C. A. Of these, fourteen sets were prepared entirely at the 
Museum’s expense, the remainder at cost. 

In addition to these lecture sets, the department has made a 
considerable number of miscellaneous slides for the Y. M. C. A. 
besides presenting it with some three thousand slides from 
our general series. That we were able to do this work for less 
than normal cost is due largely to the generous volunteer serv- 
ice of members of the department staff, of the American 
Museum War Relief Association, and other friends. We wish 
to acknowledge the assistance of Mrs. L. Goodrich Smith both 
in coloring slides and in classifying material. Our thanks 
are also due to Misses Harriet L. McCoy, H. Ruth Kraft, 
Mabel R. Percy, Clara M. Beale, Jessie M. Davies, and Vir- 
ginia B. McGivney for typing manuscripts; to Misses Almeda 
Johnson, Harriet L. McCoy, Helen M. Vreeland, Dorothy 
Van Vliet, Mrs. George H. Sherwood, Mrs. Ralph W. Tower 
and Mrs. Ruth Weber for binding and captioning the slides; 
and to Dr. G. Clyde Fisher, Mr. Julius M. Johnson, and Misses 
Virginia B. McGivney, Paula C. Lambert and Harriet L. Mc- 
Coy for the preparation of manuscripts. 

The second feature of our war work has been the furnish- 
ing of free guide service for soldiers and sailors visiting the 
Museum. While this has been for the most part occasional, 
during the spring groups of sailors, under the patronage of 
Mrs. Henry R. Hoyt, came regularly on Saturday afternoon 
from the Twenty-third Street Y. M. C. A. In this guide ser- 
vice, we have been greatly assisted by Miss Annie Lucas, who 
has given generously of her time to this work. This branch of 
the work is becoming more and more important, and it is cor- 
related with the service given by the Hospitality Room. 


An important piece of work of the year was the publication 
of a booklet entitled “Free Education by The American 
Museum of Natural History.” This is a historical account

of the development of the extensive relations of the Museum 
with the educational system of the country, but particularly 

with the public schools of New York City. The 
Publication booklet was prepated by the Curator, assisted by 
phahibac ey members of the department staff, with an intro- 

duction by President Osborn. The publication 
also gives a résumé of the educational work in 1917 and a list 
of the schools, colleges and other institutions throughout the 
country which utilized the Museum in 1917. These number 
1,159 institutions. This publication has been sent to all the 
schools in the city and to prominent educators of the United 
States and abroad. 


That the Museum is a leader in the development of methods 
of codperation with the public school systems is emphasized by 
the attention that this work received from three 
Opinions foreign educational missions. In October, the 
o Foreign ~~“ British Educational Mission, of which Sir 
Arthur Shipley, Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge 
University, is chairman, visited the Museum especially to study 
these subjects, and members of the Mission stated that we had 
far exceeded anything that was done in England. On a visit 
in November, the Mission of French Scholars, of which Lieu- 
tenant Colonel Theodore Reinach was the head, expressed 
similar astonishment at the progress we have made. The 
Japanese educators have also given much study to the methods 
employed here. This appreciation from such eminent educa- 
tors makes even more regrettable the suspension of this service 
to the public schools because of the reduced appropriation by 
the City. 


The greatest growth in the work of the Department has been 
in the lending of slides to schools. This phase of codperation 
was begun four years ago under a special grant 

Lending of — of $2,000.00 from the Board of Education. The 
Semi results have fully justified the support. The first 
year, only thirty-five schools borrowed slides 

and the number circulated was 11,929 slides. In 1918, 102 


schools were using the slides and 72,287 were in circulation. 


50 Report of the President 


Thus, in four years, the number of schools has trebled, while 
the circulation of slides has increased more than sixfold. 
More important, however, is the increase in number of times 
that an individual school borrowed slides. The record goes to 
P. S. No. 168 Manhattan, of which Miss Cecilia A. Francis is 
Principal, which has been supplied ninety-four times during 
the year. Other schools that have records of borrowing more 
than twenty-five times are:

The significance of these statistics is that this service is ex- 
tended to the schools of all boroughs and that the teachers are 
systematically using these valuable aids to instruction. 

Our experience of previous years has proved that the slides 
that are arranged in complete lectures are more useful to the 
teachers than the general selection from the Museum file. So 
great has been the demand for several subjects that it has been 
necessary to triplicate some of the sets. During the year, six 
new sets have been added to the loan series, making a total of 
twenty sets in all. No. 15, “Implements of Modern Warfare— 
The Aéroplane,” No. 16, “Implements of Modern Warfare— 
The Submarine,” No. 19, “Our National Heroes,” and No. 20, 
“The State Reservation at Saratoga Springs,’ were prepared 
by the slide librarian, Miss Virginia B. McGivney. No. 17, 
“France: Paris,” and No. 18, “The French Riviera,” were pre- 
pared by Miss Paula C. Lambert, who generously contributed 
her services. 

The complete series includes the following:

1918 102 992 72,287 


In addition to supplying the public schools, it has been found 
possible to render similar service to several other schools and 
institutions in or near the city. 

The marked growth in the use of slides is in no small meas- 
ure due to the intelligent appreciation of the needs of teachers 
and the efficient direction of the work by the slide librarian, 
Miss Virginia B. McGivney. 


For nearly fifteen years, the Museum has been supplying 
traveling collections of Nature Study specimens to the schools, 
delivering them free of charge to any public 

Nature school in Greater New York. So well established 
Pals. is this form of assistance that teachers feel 
slighted if these collections are not available for 


their use at the beginning of the school term. This service has 


52 Report of the President 


been extended to the schools of all boroughs throughout the 
year, although we were unable to make transfers as frequently 
as in other years because our messengers were called for mili- 
tary service. Consequently, the statistics for the year are con- 
siderably below the average. The comparison with preceding 
years follows:

As in the case of the nature study collections, the lectures for 
pupils, supplementing the class-room work in geography, his- 
tory, and natural science, have been given for so 


Lectures many years that many teachers now regard them 
for School . ahs . : 
Childeca as an integral part of their instruction. A spring 


course of 23 lectures and a fall course of 8 
lectures were given at the Museum, at which the total atten- 
dance was 10,343. The effect of the extreme cold weather of 
last winter and of the influenza epidemic in the fall of 1918 is 
very noticeable in the attendance records. Furthermore, the 
activities of the children in selling thrift stamps and in doing 
other war work and the great amount of war work done by the 
teachers outside of school hours have been contributing factors 
in the reduced attendance at the lectures. Courses were given 
in three local lecture centers, namely, Washington Irving High 
School, in codperation with Miss Rosemary F. Mullen, Head of 
the Department of Biology; at P. S. No. 64 Manhattan, in co- 
operation with Louis Marks, Principal; and at P. S. No. 42 
Bronx, in codperation with Eugene B. Gartlan, Principal. In 
all, 17 lectures were given in these three centers with a total 
attendance of 15,075. In addition to these, Dr. Fisher and 
Miss Thomas gave five lectures, on special request, in other 
schools. The attendance at these special lectures was 4,500.

Many of the high schools make large use of the Public 
Health Charts in their classes in physiology and hygiene, of 
the mounted birds and animals in their classes in 
Coéperation art, and of various collections of our loan series 
with High i : M 4 q 
Séhoula in their classes in physical geography and biology. 
But twice a year, during Regents’ Week in 
January and again in June, we codperate with several of the 
high schools in a special way. The biology classes from these 
schools come to the Museum with their teachers for lectures 
and for laboratory work. The lecture is given in the Museum 
auditorium by one of the biology teachers, or more frequently 
by a member of the department staff. Systematically planned 
laboratory work is done in one or more of the following halls: 
Habitat Groups of North American Birds, Public Health, 
Habitat Groups of Amphibians and Reptiles, Darwin Hall, 
Insect Hall, and North American Forestry. 


The department has furnished guides to teachers and classes 
visiting the Museum, regardless of whether they were from 
private, parochial, or public schools, and regard- 


Docent less of whether they were from New York City 
Service to 
Shoals or elsewhere. Teachers have been encouraged to 


concentrate their attention at any one visit upon 
the exhibits of a single hall, or at most, those of two halls. 


Circulating loan collections of natural history specimens and 
of anthropological material have been in use during the year 
in seventeen branch public libraries of the City. In the prepara- 
tion of these the Department of Public Education has had 
generous help from the Department of Anthropology both in 


54 Report of the President 


material and information. The collections are lent for a 
month or two months, and are delivered and transferred by 
the Museum messenger. According to statistics 
Se leap furnished by the librarians, these have been 
for Public studied in 1918 by 1,774 adults and 25,490 chil- 
Libraries pe reee 
In further codperation with the libraries, on January 16 
Miss Thomas gave her lecture, “In the Land of Hiawatha,” 
at the Hamilton Grange Library to two hundred children. 


A series of ten talks was given in the Museum to the sight 
conservation classes from the public schools of Greater New 
York and of Jersey City and Newark, New 
Educational Jersey. These were given separately for each 
eee class that asked for them, and twelve classes 
availed themselves of the opportunity of a part 
or all of them. The subjects treated embraced geography, 
elementary astronomy, men of the old stone age, industries, 
animals, and wild flowers. Every lesson was illustrated by 
means of a simple apparatus or specimens which every child 
had the opportunity of “seeing with his fingers.” The classes 
are small, most of them less than a dozen pupils, so that indi- 
vidual teaching is practicable. 

For use in these classes, there has recently been added to 
the equipment an apparatus called the “Uranisphere,” which 
is especially adapted for teaching elementary astronomy and 
physical geography,—such phenomena as phases of the moon, 
eclipses of the sun and moon, change of seasons, causes of dry 
and rainy seasons, etc. The equipment and the running ex- 
penses of this work are provided for by the Jonathan Thorne 
Memorial Fund. 


There has been more photographic work than could be done 
by the two Museum photographers, and during the latter half 
of the year one of these men was in the army 
a a engaged in photographic work in the Signal 
Corps. 
During the year the following work was done by the Museum 
photographers: 


Reference Negatives and Photographs 55 


Negatives made, 957; Prints made, 13,073; Lantern Slides 
made, 3,363; Enlargements made, 370. As shown by the ac- 
cession list, our photographic files have been further increased 
during the year, by purchase: 345 negatives; by gift: 515 nega- 
tives and 299 lantern slides. 

There are now in the reference file 48,286 negatives and 65,- 
583 photographic prints. 

During the year, the motion picture library has been in- 
creased as follows: 1,830 feet illustrating the life and haunts 
of John Burroughs; 450 feet illustrating the building of the 
Liberty Hospital Model; 1,500 feet of negative and 5,000 feet 
of positive, illustrating natural history subjects, made by Roy 
C. Andrews; 1,000 feet showing whaling in Japan made by the 
Dorsey Expedition; and 3,000 feet showing Australian natives 
made by Mr. Marshall Rhodes. 


During the year 1918, the department has had the codpera- 
tion of the following firms and individuals: 
Mr. Alfred W. Abrams of the Division of 
pereromede Visual Instruction, Department of Education, 
Albany, N. Y., in lending dies for cutting lantern 
slide mats; The New York State College of Forestry in lend- 
ing negatives of Forestry subjects with permission to make 
lantern slides and duplicate negatives for our files; The New 
York Historical Society in permitting the use of books and 
plates in the preparation of illustrated lectures; New York 
State Conservation Commission in lending motion picture 
films of forestry for use in lectures to school children; Brown 
Brothers in lending photographs for lantern slides for use in 
lectures to school children; The New York Botanical Garden 
in lending lantern slides for use in our educational lectures, 
and Miss Paula C. Lambert for help in preparing lecture sets 
for our loan series. 


As the Curator’s time is largely taken up with other admin- 
istrative duties, the detailed supervision of the 
work has fallen upon the Associate Curator, 
Doctor G. Clyde Fisher, while the contact with the libraries 
and the blind has been under the immediate direction of Miss 


Staff 


56 Report of the President 


Ann E. Thomas. It is due to the “team work” of all members 
of the department staff that so much has been accomplished 
at relatively small expense. 


GEOLOGY, GEOGRAPHY AND PAST LIFE 
ON) THE HEART ES 


Epmunp Otis Hovey, Curator 


At the end of last year Dr. Chester A. Reeds, who had been 

Assistant Curator since the middle of 1912, was promoted to 

be Associate Curator of Invertebrate Palzon- 

Changes tology. In May, Mr. P. B. Hill enlisted in the 
in Staff p : 

army and Mr. E. J. Foyles was inducted therein 

through the draft. These temporary vacancies were filled by 

the appointment of Messrs. A. Latzko and J. C. Creley. 


In August Dr. Carlotta J. Maury began work upon the 
Pelecypoda of our collections. She has devoted years to the 
study of the fossil pelecypods of this country, 
ae Europe, South Africa and South America, and 
is regarded as an expert in them, especially those 
of the more recent geological periods. In September Dr. Mar- 
jorie O’Connell, who is likewise an expert in invertebrate 
paleontology, particularly in the forms occurring in the older 
geological periods, renewed her connection with the depart- 
ment. Dr. Arthur Hollick, the paleontologist, has begun the 
revision of our collection of fossil plants and the selection and 
arrangement of an exhibition series. Such expert assistance 
is of the highest value to the Museum. Dr. Elvira Wood has 
been engaged upon enlarged models of trilobites. 


When Dr. Reeds was advanced to the associate curatorship, 
he was given charge of the collections of invertebrate palzon- 
tology, and a subdivision of the exhibition hall 
was instituted, so that reorganization of the dis- 
play material could be effected along the lines 
set forth in his suggested plan dated August 1, 1917. The 


Exhibition 
Hall 


* Under the Department of Geology and Invertebrate Paleontology (see also 
pages 182 and 183). 


Geological Relief Models 57 


major portion of the western half of the hall was definitely 
set apart for the series of fossils and other material illustrat- 
ing historical and stratigraphical geology, and the correspond- 
ing portion of the eastern side of the hall was assigned to the 
biological phase of paleontology. The alteration of the up- 
right cases called for by the plan adopted was begun in May 
and is practically completed, so far as the reception of the 
historical and biological exhibits is concerned. These cases 
have been adapted for the installation of a scheme of internal 
lighting that promises highly satisfactory results. 

The exhibition series of Pelecypoda as selected by Dr. Reeds 
is being checked up, labeled and arranged by Dr. Maury. This 
has called for an immense amount of time-consuming labor 
in the verification and changing of determinations, but the 
work has advanced so far that the specimens for more than 
three-fourths of the alcove devoted to this branch of pale- 
ontology are in place, and this section of the hall will be com- 
pleted early in 1919. The reference data which Dr. Maury 
has prepared concerning each species have been typewritten on 
slips of paper which have been pasted on the backs of the ex- 
hibition tablets, and a typewritten exhibition label has been 
attached to each tablet. 

Dr. O’Connell has made a good start in arranging the 
Cephalopoda for the exhibition biological series. 

The exhibit of Bryozoa which was prepared last year by Dr. 
J. J. Galloway has been installed in its permanent position. 


The core for a model of a section of the Grand Canyon, 
which was begun under the direction of Assistant Curator 
Reeds in March, 1917, was about four-fifths 

Topo-geo- finished when Mr. Hill joined the army in May, 


tir) 1918. This was completed by Mr. Latzko and 
Models placed in the hands of the Morgan Brothers Com- 


pany of this city for the modeling of the surface 
and the preparation of the painted background. During the 
fall Mr. Lester Morgan made a special visit to the Canyon for 
securing sketches and other data for his work, and it is reason- 
ably expected that the finished model will be installed during 
January, 1919. This model will form a most attractive and 


58 Report of the President 


beautiful exhibit, and it is at the same time the most intricate 
and difficult member of the series planned for the hall. Mr. 
Latzko has likewise prepared the wooden core for the second 
member of the series, the Mt. Holyoke Range Region in Mas- 
sachusetts, and has begun the core for the third member, which 
will represent the Watkins Glen Region of New York State. 
The horizontal scale of the Grand Canyon model is 1:12000, 
or one foot to about two and one-fourth miles; that of the 
other two is I:15000, or nearly one foot to two and three- 
quarters miles. In all, the vertical scale is double the hori- 
zontal. A sketch model of the Yosemite Valley is in course 
of preparation by the Morgan Brothers Company and is to be 
delivered early in 1919. 


During the early part of the year, Associate Curator Reeds, 
with the assistance of Mr. Hill, resumed the intensive study 
of the seismograph and its records. Interrup- 
tions, due to various causes, however, have im- 
peded the work, and our wireless receiving outfit was removed 
when the United States entered the war, so that we have not 
been able to get accurate time with regularity. It is hoped, 
however, that the apparatus will soon be in proper use again. 


Seismograph 


The eight cases containing the general collection of meteor- 
ites have been removed from the fourth floor hall and installed 
in the north corridor of the ground floor beside 

i ae the collection of Building Stones. There have 
also been placed in this corridor the collection 

illustrating the Geology of Manhattan Island and the large 
single geological specimens formerly in our main exhibition 
hall. M 
Miss Dunst, with the occasional assistance of Miss Marks, 
has prepared a card index of all the accessions to the depart- 
mental collection listed in the annual reports of 

ee the Museum from the beginning, and is still oc- 
cupied with assembling into envelopes corre- 

spondingly numbered all the available letters and other data 
pertaining to the acquisition of each lot. Mr. J. B. Thornhill 


Geological Research 59 


has put catalogue numbers on some 3,000 geological specimens, 
written drawer labels, and made manuscript entries in the 
books for many of them. This year Miss Greene has prepared 
more than 15,000 cards for the paleontological catalogue under 
the direction of the Associate Curator, and has developed great 
proficiency in the work. About one-fourth of the cards needed 
for the replacement of the Whitfield book catalogue have now 
been prepared. 


The Curator captioned and turned over to the Department 
of Public Education about 600 negatives resulting from his 
visit to the Arctic in 1915-1917. He prepared 
Crocker for the Department of Anthropology some geo- 
Bevo dition logical notes on the kitchen midden sites of the 
Smith Sound region and a preliminary descrip- 
tion of the Ahk-po-hone iron meteorite which Mr. Ekblaw of 
the Crocker Land Expedition brought down from Ellesmere 
Land. Mr. Ekblaw, who is Research Associate in the depart- 
ment, has been working up, at the University of Illinois, his 
geological and geographical data obtained in the Cape York- 
Smith Sound region and in northern Grant Land. Early in 
December there appeared from the press of Harper and 
Brothers, Dr. D. B. MacMillan’s 400-page book, “Four Years 
in the White North,” giving a vivid account of the journeys, 
labors and experiences of the Crocker Land Expedition staff 
and of life in general in the Far Arctic. 


The New York Academy of Sciences is publishing the base 
map of Porto Rico prepared by Dr. Reeds and Mr. A. Briese- 
meister in 1915. It is to be hoped that the Carib- 

Research bean and West Indies map, prepared by the same 
=e authors in 1916, can be completed and published 
during the coming year. The illustrations in Dr. 

O’Connell’s paper on the “Schrammen Collection of Silici- 
spongie of Northwestern Germany,” the text of which was 
prepared last year, were finished in November, and the article 
is in the hands of the editor of the Museum Bulletin. When 
Dr. O’Connell returned to the Museum in September, she 
undertook the study of some Jurassic ammonites which Mr. 


60 Report of the President 


Barnum Brown collected in Cuba last summer. The results 
are very valuable, and are to be published in the Museum 
Bulletin at an early date. The Curator has also published an 
account of Eskimo child life in the Museum Journal. Mr. 
Ekblaw has an article on “The Danish Arctic Station at God- 
havn” in the November number of the Museum Journal, and 
has published other Crocker Land Expedition material in the 
Geographical Review of the American Geographical Society 
and elsewhere. Other reports awaiting opportunity for com- 
pletion are the Curator’s account of the work done in Martin- 
ique and St. Vincent in 1915, under the Angelo Heilprin Ex- 
ploring Fund and certain observations made in Greenland with 
the Crocker Land Expedition in 1915-1917, also a popular 
scientific account of the seismograph and its use by the Asso- 
ciate Curator. 


The most important accessions of the year have been a series 
of rocks and fossils illustrating the geology of New Mexico, 
collected by Professor C. T. Kirk of the Uni- 
versity of New Mexico; two large cut and 
polished slabs of Michigan amygdaloid copper and copper 
conglomerate from the United States National Museum; a 
series of specimens of galena, sphalerite and marcasite from 
the Admiralty Zinc Company, Quapaw, Okla.; a series of two 
hundred Devonian fossils from Iowa collected by Carroll Lane 
Fenton; the Barnum Brown collection of ammonites and other 
Jurassic fossils from Cuba; and some 1,660 specimens repre- 
senting 165 species of fossils from the Hunton beds of Okla- 
homa made by Associate Curator Reeds before he became con- 
nected with the Museum. 


Accessions 


No field work was carried on by the department aside from 
a reconnaissance of the Watkins Glen region, New York; a 
somewhat careful photographic survey of the Mt. 
Holyoke Range region, Massachusetts, by the 
Curator for the benefit of the topographical models now under 
preparation, and collecting trips by Research Associate Ek- 
blaw to the fossil plant locality of Mazon Creek, Illinois, and 
to the sand fulgurite locality of Whiteside County, Illinois.

MINERALS AND GEMS * 


Hersert P. Wuittock, Curator 


With a view to increasing the attractiveness of the Morgan 

Collection of Minerals, several experiments were made in re- 

mounting small sections of the collection, and a 

Siar plan for the reinstallation of the entire collection 

has been devised which it is believed will not 

only materially add to the effectiveness of what is undoubtedly 

the finest displayed series of minerals in America but will admit 

of an appreciable gain in available space for exhibition, thus 
allowing for the growth of the collection in all its elements. 


A small exhibit illustrating the relation of minerals to the 
production of munitions of war has been installed in two cases 
of the A type in the Hall of Minerals. This 

Per series, the assembling of which was begun in 
June, aims to visualize the steps in the develop- 

ment of war munitions from the ore to the finished product 
and to emphasize the need of establishing an adequate domes- 
tic source of supply of the ores of the rarer metals. Through 
the courtesy of a number of prominent manufacturing firms 
producing war materials for the Government, it has been pos- 
sible to supplement the display of ores with many examples of 
such finished products as special steel alloys, armor plate, 
graphite tools and appliances used in smelting and converting 
metals, detonators, cartridges and bullets, sections of gun bar- 
rels, etc. The exhibit has proved eminently successful in that 
it has apparently been instrumental in bringing before the 
public a phase of our war industry of considerable importance. 


Through the courtesy of Mr. Charles Lanier there has been 
deposited as a loan in the Morgan Hall of Gems an exquisite 
example of modern art in carved chalcedony. This consists of 
a graceful statuette eight inches in height carved from an un- 


* Under the Department of Mineralogy (see also pages 183 to 185). 


62 Report of the President 


usually perfect block of translucent bluish chalcedony of 
natural color. The figurine, which is entitled “Pas de Danse,” 

is the work of M. Tonnelier, the eminent French 
hey.) artist stone engraver, and was exhibited in the 
rae % Paris Salon of 1912. It is one of the finest known 

examples of gem carving. It was a gift from the 
late J. Pierpont Morgan to his lifelong friend Mr. Lanier and 
typifies Mr. Morgan’s well known taste and knowledge in ac- 
quiring objects which combine the highest qualities of art with 
the best standards of rarity. 

A revision of Guide Leaflet No. 4 has been prepared, con- 
siderably extending the scope of the present Guide, which 
ae passed into its Second Edition in 1904 and of 
Publications hich the supply is nearly exhausted. 

The material of the Bement Collection is especially rich in 
crystallized specimens, many of which have never been figured 
and among which there is unquestioned evidence 
of rare and new forms. It is proposed to under- 
take the description of this collection in the form of a Crystal- 
lographic Atlas to be issued in parts, each part devoted to a 
section of the Collection and to consist of plates with descrip- 
tive text. The equipment for this work, a Hutchinson Uni- 
versal Goniometer, has been ordered from James Swift and 
Son of London. Pending the delivery of this instrument, 
which has been delayed by war conditions, the department, 
through the courtesy of Professor Moses of Columbia Uni- 
versity, has been offered the use of a goniometer, in order that 
the study may not be unnecessarily delayed. 


Research 


Among the mineral specimens that have been added to the 
collection displayed in the Morgan Hall of Minerals during the 
past year, are several which, by reason of their 
exceptional quality, their rarity and their current 
interest, are worthy of a short descriptive note. 

A magnificent group of dioptase crystals from the Kirghese 
Steppes, Siberia, constitutes a notable addition to the fine suite 
of this copper silicate already on exhibition. Also from Si- 
beria comes a handsome group of the rare mineral achtaragdite,

in ash gray crystals which are almost diagrammatic in the per- 
fection of their development. Remarkably large and perfect 
examples of scheelite, from a new locality in Mohave County, 
Arizona, have been added to the collection. These are repre- 
sented by a single crystal nearly two inches in diameter, and 
a group showing scheelite associated with black tourmaline 
which is both striking and attractive. Equally attractive by 
reason of its brilliant color contrast is the uranopilite on 
chalcopyrite from Montrose County, Colorado, in bunched in- 
crustations of a fluorescent yellowish green. Among the newly 
discovered minerals represented in this year’s accessions, are 
spencerite, a zinc phosphate from the Hudson Bay Mine at 
Salmo, British Columbia; crestmoreite, a new hydrous silicate 
from Crestmore, Riverside County, California, and temiska- 
mite, a new (1914) nickel arsenide, represented by specimens 
from two Canadian localities. A striking example of mineral 
association is represented by a large moss-like stalactitic mass 
of psilomelane, enclosing crystals of native copper and dotted 
with malachite, from Warren, Arizona, the gift of Mr. L. D. 
Ricketts. The more local mineral occurrences to be found 
among the year’s accessions include a large and very fine crystal 
of amazonite from Valhalla, Westchester County, the gift of 
Mr. James G. Manchester. 

The Morgan Gem Collection has been enriched, through the 
gift of Mr. J. P. Morgan, by the addition of three magnificent 
cut opal pieces of rich color and fire from Humboldt County, 
Nevada, also two large facetted tourmaline gems, wine red in 
color, from Brazil, and a large tourmaline roughly shaped in 
the Chinese manner from San Diego County, California. 

The use of minerals for carved ornaments is represented by 
a series of beautiful Chinese carvings in agmatolite which were 
exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in 1876. These include 
a large stand supporting figures of the Nine Worthies of China, 
two seated figures of Chinese Sages, and two tall flower vases 
ornamented with vine and foliage forms. They were presented 
by Messrs. Albert G. and Jerome J. Hanauer. 


64 Report of the President 


WOODS AND FORESTRY * 


Mary C. Dickerson, Curator 


Owing to the service in France of the Associate Curator, 
Major Barrington Moore, as an officer of engineers, the work 
so optimistically planned for 1918 on small groups to illustrate 
forestry conditions and principles has not been carried out. 
Also, for lack of available funds, a decision regarding the east 
wall mural, sketches for which have been prepared by Mr. 
Hobart Nichols, has not been possible. 

Some labels have been inserted where they were lacking, and 
the work on the construction of exhibition sprays of flowers, 
fruits, and leaves has progressed with great satis- 
faction. This work is in the hands of the artist, 
Mr. Milton D. Copulos. One particularly impressive spray of 
the large-leaved cucumber tree (Magnolia macrophylla) was 
constructed in the winter of 1917-18, from a living original of 
record size from Westchester County, New York, the gift of 
Mrs. Horde, of New York City. This spray is exhibited in a 
separate case at the entrance to the forestry hall and has at- 
tracted much attention. As a whole, it is 43 inches in width, 
the largest leaf measuring 21 inches, and the flower g inches. 

Among other sprays worked on during the year the follow- 
ing were put on exhibition: black maple (Acer nigrum) ; red 
ash (Fraxinus Pennsylvanicum) ; black oak (Quercus velu- 
tina) ; and Arizona sycamore (Platanus Wrightit). 

In connection with this work the codperation of botanists 
and foresters was enlisted in supplying the fresh material for 
the reproductions. Through this professional courtesy in dif- 
ferent parts of the country, 20 specimens in all were received, 
from which were selected the handsomest and most typical to 
serve as models. As a result it will be possible to add eight 
species to the collection. These include: blue ash (Fraxinus 
quadrangulata), from Indiana; western cherry laurel (Prunus 
ilicifolia), from California; California sycamore (Platanus

ana; Arizona sycamore (Platanus Wrightti), and Mexican 
walnut (Juglans rupestris), from Arizona; broad-leaved maple 
(Acer macrophyllum), from Oregon; Oregon ash vaneless 
oregonia), from Oregon and California. 

In addition to these sprays of deciduous trees, one valuable 
prepared conifer spray, of Douglas spruce (Pseudotsuga taxi- 
folia), from Colorado, was purchased from Mr. A. E. Butler. 

The reference collection has been enriched by gifts of West 
Indian and South American woods as follows: Porto Rico, 82 
pieces, representing 40 varieties; Cuba, 23 pieces; and Co- 
lombia, 38 pieces. A series of 62 photographs illustrating 
Sitka spruce lumbering methods in the northwestern United 
States has been added to the educational files of the department. 


EXISTING INVERTEBRATES * 


Henry Epwarp Crampton, Curator 


The activities of the department as a whole have been con- 
tinued along normal lines, although the war has affected these 
activities in certain respects. Members of the staff have been 
engaged in national service during part of the year, but have 
now returned to their full work. Many collaborators, for- 
merly engaged in the study of special collections, have been 
in se)vice, and necessarily their reports have remained uncom- 
pleted, and publication has been postponed. Finally, field- 
work has been temporarily suspended, excepting in the in- 
stances noted below. 


The Nahant Tide Pool Group was completed and installed 
in the early part of the year. This group, described in detail 
in last year’s report, is a noteworthy exhibit in the 

oo series of habitat groups in the Darwin Hall. 
During the year the Bryozoa Group has been car- 

ried partially to completion. It will represent the natural history 
of a bit of sea bottom, one and five-eighths inches in diameter, 
magnified twenty-five diameters. The minute animals and 
plants naturally associated with the Bryozoa will be shown 


* Under the Department of Invertebrate Zodlogy (see also pages 186 to 188).

magnified to scale. Seven species of the latter will be repre- 
sented, while among the associated forms certain hydroids 
budding forth medusz will exemplify alternation of genera- 
tions. The complete life history of a typical colonial ascidian 
(Botryllus) will also be shown from the free-swimming larva 
to the stationary adult animal. This group presents many new 
problems of preparation and installation, and will be an effec- 
tive contrast to the other window groups in the Darwin Hall. 
The final panel for the Mendelian exhibit has been practically 
completed and is now ready for installation. It represents one 
of the simplest cases of Mendelian color inheritance as shown 
in the Four o’Clocks (Mirabilis jalapa). The series of Proto- 
zoa models has been amplified by several striking items, notably 
models of the remarkable Radiolarians, Collozoum inerme, 
Trypanosphera transformata and Lithocircus arborescens. A 
chart illustrating the phylogeny of invertebrates and their rela- 
tion to the vertebrate stock has been prepared and temporarily 
installed in the Synoptic Hall of Mammals. When completed 
this chart will illustrate, by means of specimens and models, 
the chief types of the animal kingdom, as well as their phy- 
logeny. In addition, a series of the flat worm and round worm 
models, purchased for the Museum in Japan by Major Bash- 
ford Dean, have been remounted and placed on exhibition. 
Two items have also been added to the series of nudibranch 
models. Throughout the year the work of enlarging and re- 
fitting the exhibition cases has continued, and five cases are 
now completed. During 1918, 9,728 pupils visited the Darwin 
hall in 361 classes from 172 different institutions. Each class 
was accompanied by its teacher and came for the purpose of 
studying definite exhibits. Of the institutions represented, 47 
are from out of town, 104 are public schools, 46 private schools, 
and 15 parochial schools. Seven of the number are collegiate 
institutions. 


The cataloguing and arrangement of our general collection 
of Brachyura, begun in 1917 by Dr. W. G. Van Name, were 
completed by him during the early months of this year, and 
since then a general rearrangement of the catalogued material 
and uncatalogued accessions of the invertebrate collections has 


Insect Collections 67 


been undertaken and carried out in most of the larger groups. 
The new system facilitates the finding of any specimen, and 

will allow space for considerable growth in the 
General collections without the necessity of rearrange- 
2 polar ment. The large collection of invertebrates made 

by Mr. Barnum Brown in Cuba during the 
spring and early summer has been sorted and most of the 
Crustacea have been identified and catalogued. Important prog- 
ress in the work on the Congo Expedition Collections has 
been made during the year. The Crustacea were more care- 
fully examined and sorted, and such of them as were to be 
studied elsewhere were packed and shipped. Those identified 
by Miss Rathbun at the Museum and those returned to the 
Museum have been catalogued, and the land shells returned by 
Dr. Pilsbry since the completion of his report, have also been 
catalogued. These include the collection made in the Belgian 
Congo by Dr. Bequaert. Mr. Arthur Jacot spent several weeks 
during the year in identifying and arranging various collec- 
tions of mollusks, hitherto unnamed. Since the death of Mr. 
L. P. Gratacap, the general shell collections have been incor- 
porated with the section of General Invertebrates under Mr. 
Miner. 


As in former years, a striking feature of the entomological 
work has been hearty and profitable codperation with students 
outside of the Museum. In a way, an indication 

Insects of the extent of one phase of this codperation is 
Spiders the fact that approximately 15,000 specimens of 
insects are now out as loans to entomologists, 

to mutual advantage. As in former years, the New York En- 
tomological Society has had charge of the Collection of Local 
Insects, and members of the society are in close touch with 
many of the activities of the department. The most important 
change in connection with the care of the collections has been 
the establishment of a system whereby the type specimens of 
species are kept in special pest-proof, fireproof cases apart 
from the general collection but still linked up with it by means 
of cross-reference labels. Counting types, cotypes and para- 
types, we have more than 10,000 specimens of this absolutely 


68 Report of the President 


irreplaceable type material, and, by reason of the reputation the 
Museum is gaining among entomologists as a place where 
types are well cared for, we may expect a substantial increase 
in the number of type specimens entrusted to our keeping. It 
is not practicable to catalogue the individual specimens in a 
large entomological collection, except in the case of types or 
specimens which are especially important for some other 
reason. Therefore, without going to an unjustifiable expense 
in bookkeeping, a curator of insects rarely knows, even ap- 
proximately, how many specimens there are in the general col- 
lection. However, during the past year an approximate census 
of certain parts of our collections was made. According to 
this census, we have in the general collection about 100,000 
mounted specimens of ants, bees, wasps, etc. ; 60,000 flies ; 220,- 
000 beetles ; 50,000 Hemiptera ; and 35,000 of the lower orders; 
making a total, as far as these are concerned, of nearly half a 
million specimens. However, this total does not include our 
large collection of butterflies and moths, the specimens on ex- 
hibition, the material in alcohol, or about 20,000 specimens 
which we have on deposit but which do not actually belong to 
the Museum. The grand total is certainly well over a million 
specimens of insects and spiders, probably representing at least 
forty or fifty thousand species. All these specimens are now 
as fully labeled as the data accompanying them when they were 
obtained will permit. 

There has been no change in the regular entomological staff. 
Mr. H. G. Barber was employed for a month to work on the 
collection of Hemiptera. Dr. J. Bequaert has assisted with 
the collection of Congo wasps and ants. 


In compliance with the policy adopted by the Museum in 
general, there have been no extensive field trips in the past 
year. During July and August, Mr. Miner spent 
six weeks at the Marine Biological Laboratory 
in Woods Hole, Mass. He was accompanied by Messrs. Her- 
man Mueller, Chris E. Olsen and Show Shimotori of the model- 
ing staff, and through the courtesy of Director Frank R. Lillie 
and Assistant Director Gilman A. Drew, succeeded in obtain- 
ing many studies of marine life for use in connection with the

new Bryozoa Group. Much information was obtained on the 
life histories of the forms to be represented, which will form 
the basis, not only for exhibition work, but for future research. 
Many notes, water-color sketches and preliminary models were 
made directly from life. Dr. Lutz spent considerable time 
during the summer in northern New Jersey obtaining material 
for exhibition purposes. He had three main objects in view: 
(1) an exhibit of spider webs, (2) an exhibit of the burrows 
of bees, solitary wasps and other insects, and (3) an exhibit 
showing the number of species of insects to be found in a sub- 
urban back yard. Approximately five hundred species were 
found in a lot 75 x 200 ft. in a town within easy commuting 
distance of New York City. 


The Curator has made substantial progress in the study of 
the land snails belonging to the genus Partula, collected in the 
islands of Moorea and Raiatea. The Curator 

Research also has nearly completed two papers dealing 
= eae with biological problems in the case of the Ameri- 
can silk worm moth, Philosamia cynthia. Mr. 

Miner has continued work on “The Synonymy and Bibliog- 
raphy of American Myriapods.” Dr. Van Name’s paper on the 
West Indian Ascidians, which was practically completed last 
year, has been held in reserve pending his comparison and ex- 
amination of certain other collections. A paper by Professor 
G. A. MacCallum, entitled “A New Species of Trematode 
(Cladorchis gigas) Parasitic on Elephants,’ was published 
early in the year as a part of the results of the Congo expedi- 
tion. A paper by W. G. and G. A. MacCallum, entitled “On the 
Anatomy of the Leech Ozobranchus branchiatus Menzies,” 
was also published in the Museum Bulletin. An excellent 
paper by Professor C. Branch Wilson, entitled “Parasitic 
Copepods of the Congo Collection,” is now in press, which de- 
scribes several new species of this interesting group. The 
_ paper on the Congo Mollusks by Professor H. A. Pilsbry is 
now ready for publication. Professor Pilsbry is also working 
on the Congo Cirripedes. The Crustacea of the Congo Col- 
lection will form the subject of several papers which will 
appear in the near future, the Brachyura being worked up by

Miss Mary G. Rathbun of the United States National Museum, 
the Anomura, Macrura and Stomatopoda by Dr. W. L. 
Schmitt, and the Amphipoda by Dr. C. R. Shoemaker of the 
same institution. The Congo Myriapods have been assigned 
to Professor Ralph V. Chamberlain of the Museum of Com- 
parative Zodlogy, Cambridge, Mass., while Mr. Miner is work- 
ing on the West Indian and local Myriapods. Considerable 
work has also been done on the collections made by the Crocker 
Land Expedition ; the Echinoderms have been identified by Dr. 
Austin H. Clark, the Parasitic Crustacea by Professor C. B. 
Wilson, the Parasitic Worms by Professor H. B. Ward, the 
Bryozoa by Professor R. C. Osburn, the Cirripedes by Pro- 
fessor H. A. Pilsbry, the Amphipods by Dr. C. R. Shoe- 
maker, the Mollusks by Dr. Frank C. Baker and the Ascidians 
by Dr. W. G. Van Name. The following entomological papers 
have been published in the Bulletin: Chris E. Olsen, “North 
American Cicadellide in the Collection of The American 
Museum of Natural History”; Chas. W. Leng and Andrew J. 
Mutchler, “Insects of Florida, V. The Water Beetles”; Wm. 
Barnes and J. McDunnough, “Life Histories of North Ameri- 
can Species of the Genus Catocala”; E. P. Felt, “Notes and 
Descriptions of Itonidide in the Collection of The American 
Museum of Natural History”; A. H. Sturtevant, ““A Synopsis

Nathan Banks, “The Termites of Panama and British Guiana” ; 
T. D. A. Cockerell, “Bees.from British Guiana”; and J. 
Bequaert, “A Revision of the Vespide of the Belgian Congo 
Based on the Collection of the American Museum Congo Ex- 
pedition, with a List of Ethiopian Diplopterous Wasps.” A 
Memoir, “Illustrations of the North American Species of the 
Genus Catocala by Wm. Beutenmiiller, with Additional 
Plates and Text,’ by Wm. Barnes and J. McDunnough, con- 
tains twenty-two plates, seventeen of which consist of a large 
number of excellent colored figures of adults and larve. 
Several entomological papers by various authors are in press. 
In addition, Messrs. Wheeler, Leng and Watson have published 
various papers in other periodicals, and Dr. Lutz’s “Field Book 
of Insects, with Special Reference to Those of Northeastern 
United States, Aiming to Answer Common Questions” has 


Invertebrate Collections 71 


been published by G. P, Putnam’s Sons. Dr. Wheeler has 
practically completed his report on the ants collected by the 
Congo Expedition. Dr. Lutz has continued his studies on the 
higher bees of North America. Mr. Mutchler, in codperation 
with Mr. Leng, has nearly finished a study of West Indian 
fireflies and their relatives. Mr. Leng will soon publish a most 
valuable check-list of North American beetles. Mr. Watson’s 
principal research has been concerned with the life histories of 
butterflies. Mr. Bequaert has devoted most of his time to gen- 
eral work in connection with the preparation of reports on the 
Congo Expedition. 


A few of the noteworthy accessions of the year may be men- 
tioned. A collection of Mollusks, Brachiopods and Corals, » 
comprising 464 specimens of about I00 species, 
was purchased from Mrs. Ida S. Oldroyd of 
Leland Stanford Junior University. These were collected by 
Mrs. Oldroyd on the Pacific Coast, mainly in the neighborhood 
of Puget Sound. A collection of 250 specimens of shells, em- 
bracing about 100 species, was received in exchange from Mr. 
W. H. Weeks. A small collection of excellent examples of 
land snails from France was presented by Sergeant E. D. 
Crabb of the United States Army. About 2,000 specimens of 
Crustacea, Mollusca, Chordata, Annulata, Echinodermata and 
Myriapoda, collected by Mr. Barnum Brown in Cuba, have 
been given to the department. A collection of the types of 
Congo Mollusks, embracing 103 new species and subspecies, 
was presented by Mr. Joseph Bequaert, by whom they were 
collected. These have been described by Professor H. A. 
Pilsbry and form the basis of a portion of his paper on the 
Congo Mollusks about to be published. In entomology the 
most important accession has been the gift by Rev. H. R. Cald- 
well of a large collection of Chinese insects. These are valu- 
able not only by reason of the fact that they represent many 
species not hitherto possessed by this Museum, but also because 
they come from a less explored region which is of especial 
interest in connection with the larger problems of geographic 
distribution that are constantly kept in mind by this department.

of the southeast Atlantic coast. The viviparous 
surf-fish in the former compares more or less with brightly 
colored coral reef species in the latter, and in the same way 
the northern sculpin-like fish resembles the southern goby; an 
eel-like northern blenny is contrasted with a shorter bodied 
tropical one. In addition, comparative models of lamprey and 
hagfish heads have been placed on exhibition ; models of sexual 
variation in Arctic sculpins, and the evolution of a ventral 
sucking disk through various fish families, have been prepared. 
Many new specimens have been prepared to fill in the series in 
the systematic cases. The department preparator, Mr. F. F. 
Horter, has meanwhile been able to improve greatly his tech- 
nique for casting alcoholic fishes for exhibition and reproducing 
their fins in celluloid. Besides the routine work required to 
keep the study collections in condition for ready reference, 
thirty study skeletons of various types of fishes have been pre- 
pared by Mr. Kessler, and arranged for reference. Such 
skeletons are constantly being used in the identification of 
material referred to the department, and are of service in the 
Columbia University course which deals with fishes. It is 
hoped at an early date to increase the present collection of fish 
skeletons to two or three times its size, and that space will be

found for its proper classification and arrangement. Due to 
war conditions, the department has not attempted to carry on 
any field work, the most important unworked material received 
being from museums in South America, through arrangements 
made by Dr. Eastman when in that country. 


Progress on Dr. Dean’s “Bibliography of Fishes” has been 
continuous, although not as rapid as had been planned, due to 
exigencies of the war. Mr. Arthur W. Henn, 
Research who was grouping and annotating the index 
sc ee cards, entered the United States Army early in 
April, leaving the work in the hands of Mrs. H. 
J. Volker, who had assisted him with it prior to that date; and 
she has since been occupied with translations, looking up and 
classifying references, preparing cards for the press, etc. On 
Dr. Eastman’s return from South America he took up the 
references to fossil fishes until he was called to give his entire 
time to his duties at the War Trade Board. He was about to 
resume work on the Bibliography when word came to us of his 
tragic death in late September. Dr. E. W. Gudger spent six 
weeks during the summer at the Museum compiling additional 
references for the Bibliography. Major Dean’s duties in con- 
nection with his Ordnance work have left him time for only a 
general supervision of the work. 

The department has published “Fishes of the Vicinity of 
New York City,” by J. T. Nichols, with an introduction by 
Wm. K. Gregory,—an illustrated Handbook of 118 pages, 
which, it is thought, will materially further the popular and 
scientific study of our local ichthyfauna. In addition, Mr. 
Nichols has published a short Bulletin article on fishes brought 
back by the American Museum’s First Asiatic Zodlogical Ex- 
pedition, and has in press others on marine Teleost fishes of the 
Crocker Land Expedition, and the revision of a marine genus 
(Vomer) based on specimens received from the Congo Ex- 
pedition. Several new species are described in these articles. 
He has also published short articles and notes on fishes else- 
where, as follows: One on food fishes, in The American Mu- 
seum Journal, later reprinted in the Pacific Fisherman, four 
in Copeia, five in the Brooklyn Aquarium Bulletin, and one in 


74 Report of the President 


Field and Stream, and has in hand the study of a fresh-water 
collection, mostly catfishes, from South America, loaned by the 
Museum at Sao Paulo, Brazil. A thirty-one page Bulletin 
issued in September is by Mr. Carl L. Hubbs of the Field 
Museum, Chicago, on ‘The Fishes of the Genus Atherinops, 
their Variation, Distribution, Relationships and History.” 
This study was based partly on Lower California material 
borrowed from the American Museum, and partly on speci- 
mens from Mr. Hubbs’ collection, a representative series of 
which has since been exchanged with this Museum. 


REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS 


The measure of accomplishment throughout the work of the 
department has been lowered during 1918 by the absence of 
assistants in various war capacities. This has affected espe- 
cially the research on collections and bibliography ; even local 
field work has been cut out altogether, and necessarily the work 
on exhibitions has been curtailed to some extent, 

The additions to the catalogued collections for 1918 total 
1,985 batrachians and 1,252 reptiles. Among these accessions, 

the most noteworthy are the following: 


fevedions First in importance, perhaps, is the Costa 
Exchadees Rican and Colombian Cope collection received 


from the Philadelphia Commercial Museum in 
exchange for preparation in wax technique of cotton plants 
for a commercial exhibit. This exchange was negotiated just 
at the close of 1917, the work of the American Museum’s part 
of the exchange, however, not being carried out until the first 
half of 1918. This Cope collection consists of 714 specimens 
and includes 24 types. It is not only of unusual historical in- 
terest because of Cope’s work on it, but will prove of great 
value in connection with the department’s researches on Central 
and South American faunas, 

Second in importance of newly accessioned material is the 
Hallinan Chile collection of 668 specimens, This was received 
in an exchange for a series of 29 plaster casts of reptiles and 
amphibians (mainly local) to be used in the foundation of a 
Natural History Museum at Paterson, New Jersey. Among 


Research on Reptiles 75 


other important accessions is a gift of 91 specimens, chiefly 
from Manitoba, by Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton, and collec- 
tions of 79 and 104 specimens from the Far East and Cuba 
respectively, collected by Mr. R. C. Andrews and Mr. Barnum 
Brown, of the American Museum. 

Among collections leaving the Museum is a loan shipment 
of more than 100 specimens of milk snakes and king snakes 
(Lampropeltis) to Dr. A. G. Ruthven, of the Museum of 
Zoology of the University of Michigan, for use in a revision 
of the genus by Mr. Frank N. Blanchard, and a gift of about 
85 specimens of North American frogs to Dr. Boulenger, of 
the British Museum, to aid in his revision of the Ranide. 

Much routine work has been done on the catalogues of col- 
lections and in the organization of the department reference 
library of separates. 

The paper on “Amphibians collected by the Nicaragua Ex- 
pedition,” by Mr. G. K. Noble, came from press in June. It 

concerns species from the banks of remote Cen- 
Sires and tral American rivers, many of these being rare 
ublication ‘ ‘ } 
in collections, two described as new. 

The paper on the turtles, crocodiles and lizards of the Congo, 
by Mr. Karl P. Schmidt, has been in course of publication in 
the American Museum Bulletin and is now ready for indexing. 
It stands as the third paper of Volume I of the Congo reports, 
240 pages, with 26 plates, 22 distribution maps, and many 
figures in the text. A paper on the snakes of the Congo, also 
in the hands of Mr. Schmidt, was well under way at the time 
he left for war service in March. 

Progress has been made on the research long in hand on 
Lower California and the Southwest, but so great have been 
the demands of administrative, exhibition, and editorial work 
on the time of the Associate Curator that the work is not yet 
ready for publication. 

The major piece of exhibition work of 1917, the Florida 
Group, carried well over into 1918, not being opened to the 
public until early summer. The group was de- 
scribed in considerable detail in the report of 
last year (pp. 77-79). Work has gone on in completing prepa- 
rations for the Gopher Group, the plan of which has been

76 Report of the President 


modified from a floor group to a panoramic group of con- 
siderable size. The wax reproductions of turtles of various 
sizes have been made; also, the snakes and frogs, and the plants 
of many species, low oaks, ferns, and flowering herbaceous 
plants, which make up this Florida association. These await 
final assembling—which is delayed because of lack of available 
exhibition space. Much has been accomplished also in the 
construction of the wax plant accessories for the Sphenodon 
Group, and valuable accessions of the insect food of this 
species have been received through the courtesy of New Zea- 
land museums. Some progress has been made in preparation 
of casts and skulls for an exhibit to illustrate the poison- 
ous reptiles of North America. The work is completed on 
the casts of the gila monster, Heloderma suspectum; on the 
two rattlesnakes, Crotalus atrox and C. adamanteus; the two 
ground rattlers, Sistrurus catenatus catenatus and S. miliarius ; 
the moccasin, Agkistrodon piscivorus; and the coral snake, 
Micrurus fulvius; of skulls, showing the evolution of the hol- 
low fang and correlated structures, a series of nine is prepared. 

In addition to the work of herpetology, the editorship of 
The American Museum Journal has been carried. 


MAMMALS AND BIRDS * 
J. A. ALLEN, Curator 


Owing to the absence of the greater part of the staff and of 
several laboratory assistants in war service, the activities of the 
department have been greatly restricted. Acces- 
sions to the collections have also fallen below 
those of any previous year in its history. The same decline 
has marked its publications. 


Staff 


There have been no accessions from field expeditions, from 
which source have come in recent years about nine-tenths of 
the additions. Also few specimens have been 
purchased. These include about 700 bird skins 
from Peru and desiderata required for exhibition. The acces- 
sions by donation consisted mainly of animals in the flesh from

he ° ae the Department of Mammalogy and Ornithology (see also pages 191 
193). 


Asiatic Zodlogical Expeditions 77 


the New York City Department of Parks and the New York 
Zoological Society. Among the latter were many of much 
scientific value. About 80 hawks were received in the flesh 
from Justus von Lengerke. 

An addition to the synoptic series of mammals has included 
a pair of elephant tusks secured by Mrs. Carl E. Akeley in the 
Mount Kenia region, Africa, and an extensive series of teeth, 
arranged with special reference to the teeth of mammals. 


A collection of 709 bird skins, as mentioned above, was re- 
ceived from Peru early in the year, from Mr. H. Watkins, 
from whom, under a continuing agreement, the 
Aide ie Museum expects to receive further instalments, 
xpeditions i : i 
including mammals as well as birds. 

After the return of the expeditions in 1917, there was a con- 
siderable interval when the department had no expeditions in 
the field. Later it became evident, after some preliminary 
work by Associate Curator Andrews on the mammals collected 
by him in Yunnan in 1916-1917, that additional material from 
other parts of Asia was necessary before satisfactory results 
could be reached respecting many of the groups represented. 
In June of the present year, Mr. Andrews was given authority 
to organize a Second Asiatic Zodlogical Expedition for work 
in northern China, where he arrived safely some months later 
and has since been successfully carrying out his plans of re- 
search. In all probability the work of this expedition will be 
carried on through the greater part of 1919. 

About a month later a Third Asiatic Zodlogical Expedition, 
under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural 
History, was organized with a plan of work in the Orient 
covering several years. This was rendered possible through 
the generosity of Mr. Paul J. Rainey, well known for his suc- 
cessful natural history expeditions to British East Africa in 
I9II, in the interest of the United States National Museum. 
The whole expense of the expedition will be met by Mr. 
Rainey, who will lead the expedition. 


Much progress has been made in the rearrangement of the 
study collection of mammals, most of this collection being now 


78 Report of the President 


fairly accessible and in safe storage. The cleaning of all the 
osteological material from the Congo Expedition has been 
completed and the specimens are being cata- 
see logued. The skeletons prepared during the 
present year include several elephants, giraffes, 
giant elands, buffaloes, forest pigs, okapis, and white rhinoce- 
roses, the series of the latter being nearly complete from the 
foetal to the senile stage. More than 1,400 skulls and 250 skele- 
tons have been cleaned during the present year. Much valuable 
osteological material still remains unavailable for use, some of 
it accumulated many years ago and held in storage till such 
time as it could be prepared. The tanning of skins of large 
mammals has been carried on successfully, comprising 255 
from the Congo collection and 122 from the Asiatic collection. 
The cataloguing of the bird collection has been forwarded 
as rapidly as possible, under the superintendence of Associate 
Curator Miller, who has had especially in hand the Nicaragua 
collection made by him in 1917. Many duplicates from the Co- 
lombian collections have been selected for exchange. The 
birds received in the flesh, from various sources, numbering in 
all some 200 specimens the present year, have been utilized by 
Mr. Miller for the study of the pterylosis and viscera. 


The rearrangement of the exhibition collection of mammals, 
under the direction of Director Lucas, has made good progress 
during the year, as noted in the Director’s report, 
pages 38 to 46. 

A striking addition to the ornithological exhibit is a Hornbill 
Group, showing the peculiar nesting habits of these curious 
birds. An, actual nesting site, in a section of a large mambao 
tree from the Belgian Congo, obtained by the American 
Museum Congo Expedition, illustrates their peculiar methods. 
They breed in holes in trees, and when the female begins to 
sit on the eggs the male plasters up the entrance to the nest and 
feeds the female through a small hole left for this purpose, she 
remaining a willing prisoner during the period of incubation.

cally studied. Reports on several groups have been prepared 
and await publication. A paper on the insectivora is in press, 

to be followed by others on the Sciuride, Ano- 
Research maluride, Idiuride and Viverride; work is in 
Be i eation progress on the remaining groups of the Car- 

nivora. The Curator has also in preparation a 
paper on the classification and nomenclature of the smaller 
spotted cats of Tropical America, the text and part of the 
illustrations having been finished. Associate Curator Andrews 
devoted several months to research work on the mammals col- 
lected by him on his recent Asiatic Expedition, nearly complet- 
ing an important revision of the Serows and Gorals when in- 
terrupted by the preparations for his Second Asiatic Zoological 
Expedition in June last, mentioned above. Associate Curator 
Miller has continued his studies of the birds of Nicaragua, with 
a view to early publication of a comprehensive report on the 
ornithology of that country. Mr. George K. Cherrie has 
practically completed his work on the birds of the Roosevelt 
South American Expedition, but its publication has been de- 
layed by his absence from the country on important war service. 

Assistant Curator Anthony’s “The Indigenous Land Mam- 
mals of Porto Rico, Living and Extinct,” mentioned in the 
report of last year as then in press, was considerably delayed 
in publication, having been issued early in October of the pres- 
ent year. It forms part II of Volume II of the New Series 
of the Memoirs and is a monograph of 107 pages, 13 plates and 
55 text figures, presenting the results of the author’s explora- 
tions in Porto Rico of an extinct mammal fauna, the existence 
of which was previously almost unsuspected. 

Three papers, based on the material of this department, have 
been published during the year in the Bulletin: “The external 
Characters, skeletal Muscles, and peripheral Nerves of Kogia 
breviceps (Blainville) ,” by H. von W. Schulte and M. de Forest 
Smith (Vol. XXXVIII, pp. 7-72, text figs. 1-21); “Mem- 
oranda upon the Anatomy of the Respiratory Tract, Foregut, 
and Thoracic Viscera of a foetal Kogia breviceps,” by John D. 
Kernan and H. von W. Schulte (idem, pp. 231-267, text figs. 
1-16) ; “The Skull of Ziphius cavirostris,’ by John D. Kernan 
(idem, pp. 349-394, pll. xx—-xxxii). A paper by Robert Cush- 


80 Report of the President 


man Murphy, based on the Brewster-Sanford Collection of 
Birds, entitled “A Study of the Atlantic Oceanites,’ has been 
published in the Bulletin (Vol. XXXVIII, pp. 117-146, pll. 
i-iii, text figs. 1-7). A second ornithological paper, by Dr. 
Jonathan Dwight, on “The geographical Distribution of Color 
and of other variable Characters in the Genus Junco: a new As- 
pect of specific and subspecific Values” (idem, pp. 269-309, pll. 
xi-xiii (colored), and 5 maps, is based in part on material in 
this department. A by-product of the First Asiatic Zoological 
Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History is the 
narrative account, “Camps and Trails in China” (D. Appleton 
and Company) by Roy Chapman Andrews and Yvette Borup 
Andrews, issued in July last, illustrated with numerous half- 
tone plates from photographs. 

Mr. Leo E. Miller’s “In the Wilds of South America” (New 
York, Charles Scribner’s Sons) is an attractive narrative of 
his six years of exploration in Colombia, Venezuela, British 
Guiana, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil as a 
field assistant in the Department of Mammalogy and Ornith- 
ology. It is replete with intensely interesting information 
regarding many parts of South America never before visited 
by a naturalist. Besides his daily experiences as an explorer 
and collector in tropical jungles, on bleak paramos and in the 
pampas, the leading physiographic and biologic features of the 
regions traversed are intelligently presented, maps and nearly 
one hundred photographic illustrations adding to the realism 
of the text. 


Near the close of 1917, the Curator of this department asked 
to be relieved of the editorial supervision of the Bulletin and 
Memoirs, in order that he might have more time 
for research. Dr. Frank E. Lutz, Associate 
Curator in the Department of Invertebrate Zoology, was 
designated as his successor and has had editorial charge of 
these publications during the present year.

Explorations for Fossils 81 


EXTINCT VERTEBRATES * 


Henry FAIRFIELD OsporN, Honorary Curator 
W. D. MatrHew, Curator 


In conformity with the general policy of the Museum, we 
have greatly reduced the amount of field work and have de- 
voted our energies chiefly to the preparation of 
exhibits and to the entire rearrangement of our 
collections of fossil amphibians, reptiles and mammals, which 
now for the first time are in admirable order; also to research 
and publication. 

Associate Curator Barnum Brown has completed the explora- 
tion of the Ciego Montero locality near Cienfuegos, Cuba, se- 
curing there a valuable collection of fossils chiefly of the Cuban 
Ground Sloth Megalocnus. On invitation of Dr. Thomas Bar- 
bour, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, he also com- 
pleted the exploration of a cave deposit near Soledad, first 
explored for fossils by that gentleman, and secured a large 
collection of fossil remains, mostly small rodents and insec- 
tivora. These collections add largely to the materials for study 
of the extinct animals of Cuba, and to the evidence as to former 
geographic relations of the West Indian islands. 

Associate Curator Walter Granger completed the explora- 
tion of the Huerfano Basin of Eocene age near Pueblo, Colo- 
rado, commenced in 1916. He obtained a considerable collec- 
tion of fragmentary but interesting specimens which record the 
transition from the Lower to the Middle Eocene epochs, and 
include a number of species new to science. 

Mr. Albert Thomson continued explorations in the Snake 
Creek beds of Western Nebraska, securing a collection of fos- 
sil mammals of Pliocene age, including skulls of a large rhi- 
noceros, a peccary and a rare rodent, besides much fragmentary 
material. 


Field Work 


A number of valuable specimens of dinosaurs from the Red 
Deer River in Alberta have been secured through purchase. 


* Under the Department of Vertebrate Paleontology (see also page 194). 


82 Report of the President 


The most important are a nearly complete skeleton of a car- 
nivorous dinusaur, a partial skeleton of a new type of armored 

dinosaur and the skull of a horned dinosaur. 
eau Preparation of these specimens is under way. A 

inosaurs . 

fine complete skeleton of the Crested Dinosaur 
Corythosaurus and a skeleton of a large carnivorous type have 
been prepared as panel-mounts, and a third carnivorous dino- 
saur skeleton has been partly prepared for exhibition. 


A fine skeleton of a long-jawed mastodon, Megabelodon, of 
the Pliocene epoch, has been purchased from Mr. Edward L. 
Troxell. It was discovered by him near Dallas, 
Mefabelo South Dakota, in 1917, and constitutes one of the 
on Skeleton i q¥h 
most important additions to our knowledge of the 
extinct Proboscidea. 

The skeleton has been mounted and placed next to the War- 
ren Mastodon in the Hall of the Age of Man. This is a fine 
illustration of the peculiar kinds of Mastodons which inhabited 
this country in the Tertiary period. Their remains though not 
rare are mostly fragmentary, and this is the first skeleton of a 
Tertiary mastodon in any museum in this country and the 
second in the world. (The other is in the Paris Museum.) 
This animal equaled the great American Mastodon in bulk but 
had shorter legs and a very long lower jaw. The trunk was 
probably supported beneath by the front of the jaw instead of 
hanging free as in the short-jawed mastodons and elephants. 


A skeleton of the Fin-back reptile Dimetrodon, from the 
Permian of Texas, has been obtained by purchase and a series 
of supplementary skeletons, of the same genus, 

poses but less complete, has been presented by the 
collector, Mr. Charles H. Sternberg. A valuable 

skeleton of a Pareiasaurian reptile from the Karroo formation 
of South Africa has been obtained through the good offices 
of Dr. Robert Broom. Mounting of three skeletons of 
Moschops, commenced three years ago but interrupted for a 
time, has been resumed. This animal is a large reptile from 
the Karroo formation of South Africa, the group of skeletons 
being a part of the Broom collection acquired by the Museum

Murals for Age of Man Hall 83 


in 1913. Dr. Gregory, who has been making an especial study 
of the anatomy of the limbs in early reptiles, has undertaken 
to supervise the mounts. In this connection Mr. Charles Lang 
has devised a new apparatus for temporarily setting up and ad- 
justing to any desired pose the trunk and limbs of fossil skele- 
tons to be mounted. This enables us to adjust all parts of the 
skeleton exactly to the pose selected, and to make any desired 
changes rapidly and easily. The permanent mountings are then 
fitted to the skeleton as approved in its temporary mount. 


An attempt has been made to complete the work on the Hall 
of the Age of Man, with the codperation of Honorary Curator 
Osborn, Associate William K. Gregory, Miss 
a of the Christina D. Matthew and Associate Curator 
ge of Man : 
Walter Granger, in paleontology, and Professor 
J. Howard McGregor, in anthropology. Three murals, painted 
by Mr. Charles R. Knight, under the direction of Professor 
Osborn, have been donated to the collection by Mr. J. P. 
Morgan, namely, the 


Mississippi River Mastodon Scene, 
Woolly Rhinoceros Steppe Scene, 
Pampean Scene. 


Studies are being made for three human group paintings, the 
Neanderthal, the Cro-Magnon and the Neolithic. Professor 
McGregor has prepared the Neanderthal head and body models, 
as part of his valuable series of restorations. 


Further progress has been made upon the catalogue of types 
and figured specimens, the section on fossil mammals being 
now well advanced towards publication, and upon 

Cataloguing the rearrangement and relabeling of the collection 
aie: of fossil mammals. The rapid accumulation of 
ment of new collections, progress in their preparation, and 
5 study and research in paleontology and geology 
involve a good deal of such work to keep the col- 


lections even approximately up to date. 


The most important research published during the year is 
Professor Osborn’s memoir upon the later Tertiary Equide, in 


84 Report of the President 


which all the known American types are redescribed and fully 
illustrated, many new species described from the large collec- 
tions in this Museum, and the whole critically 
revised as to their geological and zoological 
relationships. He has also continued his researches upon the 
evolution of the Proboscidea, the skeleton of the great Am- 
phibious Dinosaur Camarasaurus, and upon a series of Moro- 
pus skeletons. The monographs of the Sauropoda and Titano- 
theriidz have been further advanced toward completion. 

Dr. Matthew has published further studies upon the Snake 
Creek fossil mammal fauna, and the revision of the Lower 
Eocene Insectivora, Rodents and Edentates, and has continued 
studies upon the extinct Camelide, the fossil mammals of 
Cuba, and, in conjunction with Mr. Granger, upon the Eocene 
and Paleocene faunas. 

Dr. Gregory has continued researches upon the evolution of 
the Primates, upon the lachrymal bone and upon the compara- 
tive myology of the limbs of vertebrates. He has in press a 
memoir dealing with the American Eocene lemuroid primates. 

Mr. Brown has continued his studies upon Cretaceous dino- 
saurs and prepared field notes upon the geology of certain por- 
tions of Cuba, which will be supplemented by palzontological 
studies of the invertebrate material collected, undertaken by 
Miss O’Connell in the Geological Department. The vertebrate 
collections will be described in a memoir by Dr. La Torre and 
Dr. Matthew. 


Researches 


EXISTING AND EXTINCT RACES OF MEN * 


CLARK WISSLER, Curator 


The most notable progress in the development of collections 
was made in the somatic division. Many complete skeletons 
representing Asiatic and African peoples were 

Hoel secured, together with a large series of crania. 
Our laboratory series, from which type units are 

drawn for the construction of new exhibits, was also greatly 
strengthened. Opportunity was afforded for the photographing

Types of Man 85 


of typical American Indians, and, what is perhaps of greater 
interest, the securing of authentic photographs of American 
citizens of European descent, together with data as to their 
parentage, life history, etc. Yet, the most unique acquisition 
is the cast and photographic study of an African Bushman. 
This native was a fine specimen of his race, brought to this 
country by Barnum and Bailey’s Show for exhibition in con- 
nection with their annual tour of the nation. By the courtesy 
of the management we were permitted to cast and photograph 
this most excellent type of a fast-vanishing race. A full life 
cast suitable for exhibition was taken, with pigmentation 
studies for its proper coloration. The work was in charge of. 
Mr. Sigurd Neandross and the figure is about ready for in- 
stallation. We also have on hand a representative series of the 
very few objects making up the objective side of Bushman cul- 
ture and have reproduced on the walls of the African Hall 
some typical Bushman rock paintings. The latter have great 
interest because of their resemblance to paleolithic cave art. 
All together this will make an important addition to our Afri- 
can exhibit. 


Mr. Carroll Richard Stegall, an American residing in Africa, 
presented a series of chipped stone implements brought to light 
in diamond mining operations on the edge of an 
extinct lake in the Congo. These implements are 
analogous to certain paleolithic forms already described from 
the same general region, but make a noteworthy addition to the 
Museum’s collection. We now possess a good working series 
of stone implements from Middle and South Africa, which 
will be of the greatest usefulness in future investigations as to 
the nature and origin of the still elusive pre-iron culture of the 
Negro races. 


Accessions 


It was our good fortune to have with us during the first half 
of the year Professor A. L. Kroeber of the University of Cali- 
fornia. An exchange of services was arranged 
between the Museum and the University of Cali- 
fornia, by which Associate Curator Robert H. Lowie took a 
position in the University and Professor A. L. Kroeber filled 


Staff 


86 Report of the President 


the vacancy thus created here. Dr. Lowie gave regular uni- 
versity class instruction in anthropology at the University of 
California, while Professor Kroeber took up the reinstalla- 
tion of our Philippine Island Hall, the preparation of labels 
for the same, and the writing of a visitors’ handbook. As 
the groundwork for this, he made a thorough study of the 
Philippine problem, resulting in some new points of view 
regarding the origins of old Philippine culture. In cooperation 
with Assistant Curator L. R. Sullivan, he made a special study 
of the somatic types constituting the native Philippine popula- 
tion. This investigation resulted in a striking exhibit of Fili- 
pino types by the use of casts, busts and diagrams, now on 
view in the Philippine Hall. Professor Kroeber’s reinstalla- 
tion of the exhibits for the several cultural groups of these 
islands was completed last July. The details of this work were 
delegated to Mr. William A. Sabine. We hear from the Uni- 
versity of California that in his lectures and class instruction 
Dr. Lowie rendered a real service to that institution, and in 
view of the fact that Professor Kroeber completed a very im- 
portant and much-needed unit of work in this institution, I 
beg to report that this, our first experiment in curatorial ex- 
change, has been an unqualified success, and to suggest that 
similar arrangements be entered into with other institutions. 


In hall development, the most momentous accomplishment 
was the completion of the side panels for the illustrative mural 
series depicting the culture of the Indian tribes 

eT in Southern Alaska and on the Coast of British 
Columbia. There are sixteen panels, the follow- 

ing captions for which clearly indicate the scope and sig- 
nificance of the subjects treated: Securing Whales for Food, 
Nootka; Salmon Fishing, Kwakiutl; Gathering Bark for 
Food, Bella Coola; Preparing Fish Oil, Tsimshian; Build- 
ing a Canoe, Haida; Weaving a Blanket, Tlingit; Welcoming 
the Salmon, Salish; Preparing Clams, Salish; Manual Arts, 
Tlingit; An Impersonation, Tlingit; Dancing to Cure the Sick, 
Tlingit; House Building Ceremony, Haida; Dog-eating Cere- 
mony, Tsimshian; Welcoming Visitors, Bella Coola; Potlatch 
Ceremony, Kwakiutl; a Betrothal, Nootka. Before taking up

Excavation of Aztec Ruins 87 


this work, the artist, Mr. Will S. Taylor, visited the Indians of 
the region under the guidance of former Associate Curator 
Harlan I. Smith, with whom jointly was developed the general 
scheme of treatment. In working out the subsequent details 
for the separate panels, Lieut. G. T. Emmons gave valuable 
information and criticism. Under the direction of Curator 
P. E. Goddard, the totem poles and other objects in the hall 
have been adjusted so as to give the mural panels an artistic 
setting. These very important secondary features of the North 
Pacific Indian exhibit add greatly to the habitat function of the 
installation, and will go far to make this, the Jesup North 
Pacific Hall, a presentation in every way worthy of its position 
as a special memorial to those two greatest patrons of the 
advancement of anthropology in the New World—Mr. and 
Mrs. Morris K. Jesup. 


Expeditions for the year were confined to projects already 
under way and only such of these as it seemed unwise to inter- 
rupt. Particularly in view of the uncertain future 
for the Pueblo ruin at Aztec, New Mexico, exca- 
vations were pushed forward on a more extensive scale than 
heretofore. To date, fully half the great structure has been 
uncovered, the walls repaired and protected and the collections 
resulting therefrom classified and studied. Among the speci- 
mens are many new and unexpected objects whose presence 
throws light on the prehistoric movements of populations in 
the Southwest. One of the minor problems in this survey, 
which has been provided for by Mr. Archer M. Huntington, 
was the chronological position and prehistory of Zufii. This 
year, Mr. Leslie Spier examined ruins in the White Mountain 
district of Arizona. The results here were unexpectedly im- 
portant in that they furnished the missing link in the chrono- 
logical scheme worked out for other parts of the Zufi region. 
The final publication upon this area is now in press and will 
give a comprehensive outline of the culture of which modern 
Zufii is a part. Studies among the modern Zufii were also 
conducted by Dr. Elsie Clews Parsons, assisted by Professor 
A. L. Kroeber. A collection of rare ceremonial objects was 
obtained and presented to the Museum by Dr. Parsons. 


Field Work 


88 Report of the President 


Mr. B. T. B. Hyde spent part of the summer at Aztec assist- 
ing Mr. Earl H. Morris in the excavation of that ruin, and in 
addition gathered supplementary data for future publications 
dealing with early explorations among the cliff-dwellings of 
Utah and in the Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. This work is 
now so far advanced that its early completion may be antici- 
pated. 

Dr. Herbert J. Spinden conducted extensive archzological 
and ethnological explorations in Central America and Colombia, 
making five collections from as many special areas. The 
ethnological operations were mostly in Guatemala and Nica- 
ragua, while the archeological explorations were in the main 
confined to western Salvador, Honduras, the Miskito Coast, 
and the interior of Colombia. Collections were made, the most 
important being a fine series of pottery vessels from Salvador 
representing the Maya period. Among the ethnological col- 
lections mention may be made of a series of textiles from the 
Indians of Guatemala showing a native brown cotton and a 
purple dye extracted from the purpura shellfish, as well as 
other textiles illustrating designing by tie-dyeing, brocading, 
embroidery, etc. These will greatly enrich the Museum’s ex- 
tensive collections in the field of aboriginal textile art. Another 
important accomplishment was the mapping of three hundred 
miles of the Miskito Coast to show the tribal distributions and 
locations of present Indian villages. 


The somatic collections of the department were completely 
overhauled and reorganized during the year by Assistant Cura- 
tor L. R. Sullivan; the details of the work were in 
pany. : charge of Mr. B. E. Hoover. To economize 
ollections t 
space, the crania have been separated from the 
long bones and placed in individual containers, systematically 
shelved and grouped. A parallel arrangement of the skeletons 
proper will permit ready reassembling if occasion requires. 
The completion of four concrete storage rooms gave relief to 
the congested condition among the ethnological collections in 
charge of Mr. W. A. Sabine. Further, an opportunity was thus 
afforded to arrange more systematically our Philippine and 
Asiatic reference collections, which gives added efficiency to 


Utilization of Primitive Designs 89 


that part of our equipment. Similar reorganization is under 
way for our archeological collections. Assistant Curator N. C. 
Nelson has thoroughly overhauled the paleolithic and neolithic 
study series and also the early stone culture of Egypt and 
Africa. With the assistance of Mr. B. T. B. Hyde all the early 
and unclassified collections from the pueblo and cliff ruins of 
Southwestern United States have received similar treatment. 
For the latter, catalogue information has been brought up to 
date. 


One of the essential functions of our organization is the 
making of contact between the person who has need of scien- 
tific help, on the one hand, and the scientist who 


Popular knows the data on the other. Among the most 
Si important efforts in this direction are Research 


Publications Associate M. D. C. Crawford’s lectures and class 

talks to textile workers and designers, to acquaint 
them with the subject matter of primitive art and the modes of 
approach by which an appreciative insight into the subject may 
be gained. The large attendance and enthusiastic reactions of 
these audiences and classes have been gratifying to all con- 
cerned. In addition, the facilities of the Museum have been 
placed at the disposal of classes and students from the various 
art schools of the city, some of which now hold regular sessions 
in the laboratories of the department. 

The series of January lectures in anthropology, designed for 
special students of anthropology and related subjects, was 
given by Professor A. L. Kroeber. The subject was a study 
of primitive social philosophy as exemplified in four types of 
aboriginal culture: The Yurok, Legalists; The Wintun, In- 
differents ; The Luisefio, Mystics; The Mohave, Dreamers. It 
was clearly demonstrated in these lectures that these primitive 
cultures retained their individuality because they contained a 
determining cultural nucleus which is not some mystical thing 
but a fairly definite system of philosophy, a persistent and well- 
nigh all-determining attitude towards life. 

The development of popular publications has also made some 
progress. Two Handbooks are ready for publication, one on 
the “Peoples of the Philippines” and the other on “The Siberi- 


go Report of the President 


ans.” The early appearance of these will greatly facilitate the 
study of these sections in our exhibition series. 

Twelve scientific papers were published during the year in 
the Anthropological Papers, by members of the department 
staff. 


ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY * 


RatpH W. Tower, Curator 


Perhaps the most important work accomplished by the de- 
partment was the assistance which it was possible to give to 
. the War Department Local Board 129 of the 
Coéperation Office of the Provost Marshal. In the middle of 
raved the year this Board undertook to make more 
thorough examinations and more detailed records 
of the draftees than heretofore. It was early recognized by 
the medical examiner, Dr. Jesse G. M. Bullowa, that a ura- 
nalysis of each individual would be of value to the medical ex- 
aminers. This not only proved to be true, but the results were 
of vital importance to many of the examinees since a large 
number of unsuspected cases of nephritis, diabetes and other 
diseased conditions were discovered; such were advised to seek 
immediate medical treatment. All of the uranalyses were made 
by Mr. Charles F. Herm, who also, at the request of the De- 
partment of Anthropology, made the anthropometric compu- 
tations, which were most detailed, comprising twenty-eight 
different measurements upon each individual. In connection 
with this work Mr. Herm devised a unique and practical 
caliper which recorded from one position both the bigonial 
width and bigonial length of the face. 

In the early part of the year opportunity was found to 
pursue further the investigations on the development of the red 
blood corpuscles in birds and amphibians. Many interesting 
observations have been made and a program for more detailed 
study has been outlined. 

The department has already begun to prepare a comparative 
collection of brains and spinal cords for the purpose of sta- 
tistical and topographical study as well as for museum demon-

stration. It is proposed to establish series not only of complete 
specimens by the dry and wet methods, but of those prepared 
in sections suitable for both macroscopic and microscopic study. 
Several scientists of the city have expressed their willingness 
to collaborate in this work, which guarantees the success of the 
undertaking. 

The department has prepared and placed on exhibition a 
series illustrating the adaptation of the fore limb for flight. 
There has also been prepared and made ready for installation 
a series demonstrating the adaptation of limbs for swimming. 
There have been prepared also 741 skulls and 95 skeletons. 


PUBLIC HEALTH * 


CHARLES-Epwarp Amory WINSLow, Curator 


With the development of the world war it became evident 
that the dual necessity of conserving food for the stricken 
populations of Europe and maintaining at a 


Hygiene of | ™aximum our own national vitality made the 


the Diet problems of food hygiene and food conservation 
and Food : 

Pe caaeres: of paramount importance. It was felt that the 
tion resources of our Department of Health could be 


of greatest value in the national crisis if they 
were directed intensively into this channel; and post-war con- 
ditions seem to render the need for continued educational work 
along this line equally imperative. 


The Food Exhibit which a year ago filled six museum cases 
has therefore been developed and extended until it now occupies 
eleven cases. The exhibit as now organized pre- 


cape of sents in graphic form the needs of the human 
Exhibit body for energy and for building stones, and 


shows how these needs can most economically be 
met. Special emphasis is laid on the need for mineral salts 
and for the mysterious food elements called vitamines, and 
models illustrate the contribution made by the commoner foods 
to the daily need of energy, protein, iron and lime. In order 
to make the lessons of food hygiene as practical as possible,

92 Report of the President 


adequate daily dietaries are exhibited for an individual, based 
on a moderate and on a restricted income, with specimens and 
models illustrating a complete weekly food supply for a family 
of five persons, so adjusted as to meet all essential physiological 
needs at a minimum cost. Special cases are devoted to the 
methods of conserving wheat, meats, fats and sugar, required 
or recommended by the United States Food Administration. 

The Food Exhibit was shown for a period of six weeks 
in May and June, 1918, in the gallery of the Grand Central 
Terminal, and for a week in June as part of the Food Show in 
the Grand Central Palace. It was brought back to the Museum 
in the summer and is now installed, through the courtesy of the 
Department of Woods and Forestry, in the center aisle of the 
Forestry Hall on the ground floor of the Museum. 

It is gratifying to note that this,—undoubtedly the most com- 
plete exhibit of food hygiene prepared in this country,—has 
served as a model for exhibits in many parts of the United 
States and has therefore exerted an educational influence far 
beyond the circle of those who have actually visited the 
Museum. 


It is planned to develop the Food Exhibit to a considerably 

greater extent during the coming year and to supplement its 

basic hygienic and nutritional data with material 

Hid a illustrating the broader problems of the world’s 

food supply from the standpoint of production 

and distribution. It is hoped too that it may be possible to pre- 

pare printed material in the form of one or more guide leaflets 

which will present in simple form the chief lessons of food 

hygiene and food conservation, since we have received a con- 
stant and urgent demand for literature of this kind. 


Outside of the Food Exhibit the principal addition to our 

exhibition material has been the installation of a 

The Yellow model of the yellow fever mosquito, Aédes 
Fever 5 , ; 

Mosquito calopus. This beautiful model, which was pre- 

pared by Mr. B. E. Dahlgren, is 50 times natural 

size and completes the Museum’s series of giant models of the 


important insect-carriers of disease: the malaria mosquito (in 


Museum of Living Bacteria 93 


the Darwin Hall) and the fly, the flea, the louse and the yellow 
fever mosquito (in the Hall of Public Health). A profusely 
illustrated leaflet of 73 pages on Insects and Disease by 
C.-E. A. Winslow and F. E. Lutz has been issued during the 
year as a guide to this field of zodlogy and public health. 


The Museum of Living Bacteria has proved of special ser- 
vice during the year in connection with a number of sanitary 
and industrial problems created by the war. Re- 
Museum of — search workers in the cantonments and other 
one. army medical laboratories have made frequent 
calls for cultures to be used in connection with 
studies of wound diseases and respiratory infections, and the 
manufacture of glycerin by biological methods has been suc- 
cessfully accomplished by the use of a culture of yeast obtained 
for our collection from Germany some years before the war. 
The value of our collection of living bacterial types is strik- 
ingly illustrated by this latter occurrence; for, so far as we are 
aware, this particular organism could not a year ago have been 
found in America outside of the laboratories of the American 
Museum. 

The total number of strains of microbes now under cultiva- 
tion is 655. During the year ending December 1, 1918, 3,075 
cultures were sent without charge to laboratories of health de- 
partments and universities, making a total of 22,055 cultures 
distributed since the opening of the laboratory in 1911. Sixty- 
six new institutions have received our cultures during the year, 
making 701 institutions in all which have benefited by this ser- 
vice. 


Changes in staff due to war conditions have interfered ma- 
terially with the research work of the department. It has been 
possible, however,to make substantial progress in 

Research on __ the revision of the classification of one important 


nono group of bacteria, the staphylococci of the skin, 
tion which play an important part in the milder wound 


diseases, and Curator Winslow has continued to 
serve as Chairman of the Committee on Classification of the 
Society of American Bacteriologists. 


94 Report of the President 


Dr. T. G. Hull and Mr. William Rothberg both entered the 
military service during the year, and for the last six months 
the bacteriological collection has been in charge 

Changes in of Miss E. I. Parsons (Vassar, 1917) and Miss 


Fisting Rebecca Berland. The development of the Food 
Activities Exhibit has been carried forward with marked 


enthusiasm and ability by Miss Mary Greig, 
whose services are made available to us by a codperative ar- 
rangement with Teachers College. 

Among other outside war activities Curator Winslow had 
charge, for a period of six weeks during the summer, of the 
instruction in bacteriology and public health at the Red Cross 
Training Camp for Nurses at Vassar College; and as Consult- 
ant in Industrial Hygiene to the U. S. Public Health Service he 
has conducted extensive investigations in regard to the safe- 
guarding of the health of munition workers. 

Curator Winslow has published during the year the second 
of a series of two elementary textbooks on Healthy Living, 
which are in large part illustrated by material from the Public 
Health exhibits of the Museum, and which it is hoped may 
serve to extend the influence of Museum educational methods 
into the wide field of elementary education. 


THE LIBRARY * 


RatpH W. Tower, Curator 


The Library has felt to a degree the unusual circumstances 
imposed by war conditions. Very little printed matter has been 
received from European countries, and the International Ex- 
change Service appears to have been suspended for the time 
being. Each member of the staff has been engaged in one way 
or another in war or relief work which has demanded a certain 
amount of time and exacted a great amount of energy. Much 
commendation must be attributed to these assistants, who, 
while being faithful to their vocation, have toiled long and as- 
siduously and made each day count for two, thus being a potent 
factor in molding the world’s history. 

The Library was extremely fortunate in securing the services 


* Under the Department of Books and Publications. 


Library 95 


of Mr. K. P. Wang, who has classified, catalogued and ar- 
ranged the collection of Chinese books which were procured 
on the East Asiatic Expedition. Mr. Wang, who has had long 
experience at similar work in the Library of Congress, was able 
to introduce a thoroughly tried and practical system, which 
now makes these Chinese books, containing some unique titles, 
thoroughly available to any scholar who may wish to consult 
them. 

To make the natural history papers and monographs con- 
tained in our ever increasing Russian series accessible to the 
scientist has been one of the important and difficult problems. 
Miss Alla Kretchman, a Russian scholar, has undertaken this 
work, and it is hoped that eventually an English résumé of all 
the Russian papers may be included in each volume of the vari- 
ous publications. 

During the year two assistants have been lost to the de- 
partment. It is with extreme regret that we are obliged to 
chronicle the death on October 29 of Mr. George Chamberlain, 
who had been connected with the Library in various capacities 
for eight years. Mr. Chamberlain was a faithful workman and 
a gentleman. For the last three years he had charge of the 
Museum’s publications. On October 1, Miss Amy Hepburn 
resigned to accept a position in the library of Columbia Uni- 
versity. 

Recognizing the request of the President to curtail obliga- 
tions in every possible way, only one appointment, that of Miss 
Helen Gunz, has been made to fill the vacancies caused by the 
loss of the two experienced assistants mentioned. 


The Library has been able to accumulate the nucleus of a sec- 
tion on Folk Lore by the purchase of something more than one 
i thousand titles. In making the selection of these 
Accessions = hooks, Dr. W. L. Hildburgh, through his intimate 
knowledge of the subject, has greatly assisted in procuring the 
excellent collection that we now possess. 
Other important additions to the Library are: 
A valuable collection of works, largely in the Spanish lan- 
guage, dealing with the history and archeology of Peru, 
Bolivia, Central America and Mexico, comprising the library 


96 Report of the President 


of the late Adolf F. Bandelier. In the neighborhood of four 
hundred volumes are included in the lot. 

A 1785 edition of Cook’s Voyages, entitled A Voyage to the 
Pacific Ocean, Undertaken by the Command of His Majesty 
for Making Discoveries in the Northern Hemisphere. Vol- 
umes I and II were written by Captain James Cook, Volume 
III by Captain James King. An atlas accompanies the edition. 
This is the gift of Dr. T. Mitchell Prudden. 

A first edition (1837), in six volumes, of a History of the 
Indian Tribes of North America with Biographical Sketches 
and Anecdotes of the Principal Chiefs, by Thomas L. M’Ken- 
ney and James Hall. This unusual work is embellished by 120 
large colored portraits from the Indian Gallery in the Depart- 
ment of War at Washington. 

Through Dr. Herbert J. Spinden has come a notable collec- 
tion of about twenty volumes concerning the language of the 
natives of the Miskito Coast. 

The Grammar of Ornament, by Owen Jones, published in 
London in 1868, covers all stages of decorative designing, from . 
the work of savage tribes to the most ornate productions of 
European peoples. It is fully illustrated with 112 colored 
plates. 

The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898, by Emma H. Blair and 
James A. Robertson, being explorations by Early Navigators 
with Descriptions of the Islands and their Peoples as related in 
Books and Manuscripts, showing the conditions of those 
Islands from their earliest relations with European Nations 
to the close of the nineteenth century and translated from 
originals. This work is in fifty-five volumes, published in 
Cleveland, 1903-1909. 

The Travels of Peter Williamson Among the Nations and 
Tribes of Savage Indians in America, written by himself, 
which gives an account of their principles, religious, civil and

Museum Publications 97. 


L’Abeille—Journal d’Entomologie, Rédigé par S. de Mar- 
seul, Volumes I-XXVI, Paris, 1864-18809. 

The Osborn Library has issued during the year Volume VI 
of Fossil Vertebrates in the American Museum of Natural 
History. This volume is composed of the collected papers 
from the department which have appeared in the Bulletin of 
the American Museum during the years 1915-1917. The dis- 
tribution of exchange publications has been greatly curtailed 
and likewise incoming exchanges have been greatly decreased, 
both unavoidable under the present circumstances. 


The publications of The American Museum of Natural His- 
tory for the current year are composed of the Annual Report, 
the Bulletin, the Memoirs, the Anthropological 
Papers, the American Museum Journal, the 
Handbook and the Guide Leaflet. 

The Annual Report gives each year a summary of the ad- 
ministrative, scientific and educational activities of the institu- 
tion ; it is particularly pertinent to all who are interested in the 
welfare and progress of The American Museum of Natural 
History. 

The Bulletin is a strictly scientific publication, giving in a 
number of separate articles the results of the research in the 
various departments other than Anthropology. These are of 
interest mainly to the professional student. During 1918 the 
Bulletin contained nine articles on Invertebrate Zoology, four 
on Ichthyology and Herpetology, five on Mammalogy and 
Ornithology and three on Vertebrate Paleontology. 

The Memoirs are composed of scientific monographs, ex- 
haustive in their nature and extensively illustrated. During 
1918 three Memoirs have been issued—one on the fossil horses 
of North America, another on the living and extinct land 
mammals of Porto Rico and a third being illustrations in color 
of the North American Catocala, a genus of moths. 

The Anthropological Papers are devoted exclusively to the 
results of field work and other researches conducted by the 
anthropological staff. In the year 1918 twelve parts have 
appeared, dealing with various phases of the life of the Black- 
foot, Apache, Crow, Yukaghir, Eskimo and Philippine tribes. 


Publications 


98 Report of the President 


The American Museum Journal completed its eighteenth 
volume, which was particularly rich in interesting and popular 
articles relating to natural history, anthropology and travel. 
This periodical has proved to be one of the most entertaining 
and instructive in the field of popular biology. 

A Handbook entitled “Fishes of the Vicinity of New York 
City” and two Guide Leaflets—one being the third edition of 
the “General Guide to the Exhibition Halls” and the other 
“Tnsects and Disease”—have been published. There has also 
been issued a brochure on “Free Education by The American 
Museum of Natural History in Public Schools and Colleges,” 
which gives the history and status of Museum instruction and 
its extension to the schools of Greater New York and vicinity. 


GENERAL SUMMARY 


In reviewing the first fifty years’ work of the Museum, we 
observe that it has broken away from many old museum tradi- 
tions and customs and has been constantly striking out along 
new lines in every branch of its activity. In exploration, while 
making North America our chief concern, we have reached 
out into South America, Africa, Asia, and, in certain branches, 
into Europe itself. The natural history of our new colonial 
wards, the Philippines and Porto Rico, are matters of intimate 
concern. In South America, through a series of expeditions 
we are exploring every part of the continent and have estab- 
lished most cordial personal as well as scientific relations. 

This is in keeping with the world-wide extension of Amer- 
ican interests and influence and is part of the inevitable partici- 
pation of America in the world’s affairs. Neither the American 
Museum, nor our Government, nor our people can remain 
isolated or bound by the confines of our own continent. Thus, 
while more than ever an American Museum, our institution has 
become a world Museum. In increasing degree it is bringing 
all parts of the world within the view of the millions of people 
within our City walls who can never travel and never explore 
and whose only means of finding the inspiration of travel is 
through looking into the mirror which we are endeavoring to 
hold up to nature in all of its wonderful aspects. 


General Summary 99 


We trust that this great purpose of the Museum will bring 
to it as large an increase of popular support on the part of the 
citizens and taxpayers as it has already received of personal 
support through the munificence of Morris K. Jesup, Mrs. 
Russell Sage, J. Pierpont Morgan and others in our dis- 
tinguished list of Founders and Benefactors. 


Respectfully submitted, 


HENRY FAIRFIELD OSBORN, 
President.

Financial Administration IOI 


FINANCES, MAINTENANCE, ENDOW MENT 


The character of the work of the Museum is so special and 
at the same time so varied that the proper recording of all ex- 
penditures is a somewhat complicated process. Simplicity of 
statement is aimed at in the Report of the Treasurer. The 
changes in the accounting system, devised by the Bursar, Mr. 
Frederick H. Smyth, last year, especially the method of receipt 
by check indorsement, have resulted in a considerable saving in 
clerical work. At the same time the demands on the Bursar’s 
staff, because of Liberty Loan and Red Cross contributions, 
have been greater than ever. 

The financial transactions of the Museum are recorded 
under five major headings, namely, 


Endowment and Investment Account 
City Maintenance Account 

General Account 

Morris K. Jesup Fund Account 
Special Funds Account 


and four minor headings, namely, 


Crocker Land Expedition Fund Account 
Corporate Stock Account 

Incidental Account 

Museum Building Fund Account. 


A summary of the classifications of the disbursements of 
these respective funds will be found on pages 108 to 123. 


The Endowment and Investment Account pertains entirely 
to the receipts and disbursements of the capital of the Per- 
manent Endowment. The principal additions to 

Tenia the Endowment during the year consisted of 
Investment membership fees, amounting to $6,900, applied 
meant to the General Endowment Fund, and the bequest 
of Anson W. Hard, amounting to $5,000, which is a special 
endowment for the Library and which has been designated by 


102 Report of the President 


the Trustees as the Anson W. Hard Library Fund. All avail- 
able cash of the Permanent Endowment for the year has been 
invested by the Finance Committee in Liberty Bonds. The 
total Endowment on December 31, 1918, amounted to securi- 
ties valued at $7,996,975 and uninvested cash of $1,077.51. 


The City Maintenance Account contains only the transac- 

tions of the receipts and disbursements of the moneys received 

from the City for operating expenses. For 1918, 

City the receipts from the City were $216,900 for 

Maintenance salaries and expenses and $8,100 for special re- 

pairs, making a total of $225,000. The actual 

operating expenses legally chargeable to the City amounted to 

a total of $313,348.43 and the Trustees therefore were obliged 

to contribute from their own funds $88,348.43 for maintenance 
purposes. 


The Trustees’ unrestricted funds are received and disbursed 


Trustees’ through the General Account. The principal 
Sane items of income are as follows:

According to the terms of Mr. Jesup’s will, the income of 
the Morris K. Jesup Fund can be applied only to research, 
exploration and the enrichment of the collections. 

Morris K. The income from this fund in 1918 was $278,- 
geene ne 036.09 and the transactions pertaining to it are 
recorded in the Morris K. Jesup Fund Account. 


The Special Funds Account, as the name implies, is com- 
posed of a number of distinct special funds which are entirely 
independent of each other and which can be ap- 


Special plied only to the specific purposes for which they 
Funds ; : 
Adeeaidh are given. In 1918 the net receipts for these 


special purposes amounted to $24,600.80. 


Pension Fund 103 


The Crocker Land Expedition Fund Account was a tem- 
porary account, established in connection with the Crocker 
Land Expedition to the Arctic. The return of 
tl this expedition in 1917 and the termination of 
ccounts z ‘ Z : : 
its affairs have made this a rather inactive ac- 
count during the year. In the Corporate Stock Account are 
recorded the receipts and expenditures connected with the 
equipment work met through appropriations of corporate stock 
by the City. These transactions are entirely independent of 
the appropriations for maintenance. In 1918 the receipts 
amounted to $14,757.90. The Museum Building Fund Ac- 
count contains the funds that have been contributed to the 
Museum for new building, amounting to $108,174.46. Inas- 
much as, owing to the high cost of building, actual build- 
ing operations have been postponed, this money has been 
placed at interest and the Finance Committee has invested 
$107,350 in Liberty Loan Bonds. In connection with the meet- 
ings of scientific societies and in a few other cases the Museum 
is called upon to handle small sums which are not directly 
Museum finances. Such items are recorded in a special ac- 
count designated as the Incidental Account. 


The Treasurer of the Museum is also the Treasurer of the 
Pension Fund of the Museum. The full transactions of the 
receipts and disbursements of the Pension Fund 


Pension will be found in the Report of the Pension Board 
ane: which is published as an Appendix to the Annual 
Report. 


Respectfully submitted, 
H. P. Davison, 
Treasurer.

Privileges of Members 125 


MEMBERSHIP 


Our report of last year stated that, in spite of the demands 
upon every citizen, our membership was greater than ever 
before; and, although the same conditions have continued, our 
membership list is larger this year than last. This we think is 
an indication that the American Museum of Natural History 
is recognized as an institution rendering acceptable public ser- 
vice. We feel also that every member receives a good return 
for the membership fee. Each member receives The American 
Museum Journal, a magazine which each year contains articles 
of more varied interest written by leaders in science and ex- 
ploration. This magazine also keeps Members informed of 
Museum activities and presents the results of the latest ex- 
plorations and researches dealing with natural science. 

In addition to the subscription to The American Museum 
Journal, special courses of lectures are arranged for members 
and their friends, also courses for the children of members. 
In 1918 eighty special lectures were given to which members 
were welcome, in addition to which were those arranged for 
the children of the public schools, to which membership tickets 
would give admission. 


In the spring course of lectures to members the following 

lectures were given: “Rocky Mountain and Mesa Verde 

National Parks,’ by F. P. Clatworthy; “Our 

selina Newest Possessions in the West Indies,” by Roy 

W. Miner; “The Grand Canyon of Arizona,” 

by C. D. Williamson; and “Early Spring Wild Flowers,” by 
G. Clyde Fisher. 

The autumn course included the following: “Through 
Colorado, the Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks,” by 
Branson M. DeCou; ‘‘The United States Bird Reservations, 
Their Extent and Usefulness,” by T. Gilbert Pearson; “Bird 
Music,” by Charles Crawford Gorst; and “The Food Supply 
of Our Allies,’ by Graham Lusk. 


126 Report of the President 


The spring course of lectures to the Children of Members, 
the eleventh series, included the following: “‘Bruno’—A True 
Bear Story of the North Woods,” by W. Lyman 
Lectures to Underwood; “Eskimo ‘Kiddies,’”’ by Donald B. 
are ha MacMillan; “Our Dog Friends,” by Ernest 
Harold Baynes; and “Strange Creatures of the 

Sea,” by Raymond L. Ditmars. 

The autumn course, the twelfth series, included the follow- 
ing: “Keen Joy of Days in the Open,” by Chauncey J. Haw- 
kins; “Big Wild Game Animals at Home in Winter,” by Nor- 
man McClintock; “Birds in Their Relation to Field, Forest and 
Garden,” by G. Clyde Fisher; and “Eskimo Family Life, 
Hunting and Travel,’ by Edmund Otis Hovey. 


In addition to the regular courses of lectures for Members, 

several special lectures have been given during the year which 
Members were invited to attend. 

preety: In January a series of four lectures by Dr. 
A. L. Kroeber, on “Four Types of Aboriginal 

Culture,” were given under the auspices of the Department of 

Anthropology. 

On January 17, three lectures, under the general subject, 
“Foreign Monuments, Their Erection, Protection, Destruction 
and Restoration,” were given at the Museum in codperation 
with The American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society, 
as follows: “Care of Allied Soldiers’ Graves,’ by Colonel 
Henry W. Sackett; “Protection and Destruction of Historic 
Monuments,” by Edward Hagaman Hall, and “Ancient Monu- 
ments of China and Tibet,” by Roy Chapman Andrews. 

On February 21, a special lecture for Members and a special 
exhibition of lantern slides taken in natural colors by the Paget 
Process by Yvette Borup Andrews on the Museum’s Asiatic 
Zoological Expedition in Japan, Burma and China, were given 
by Roy Chapman Andrews, leader of the expedition. 

On December 16, under the auspices of The American Mu- 
seum of Natural History, the New York Academy of Sciences, 
the American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society and 
the Institute of Arts and Sciences, a lecture was given by 


New Members 127

220 Pension Fund Report 


With the entrance of the United States into the war, came 
new and extraordinary liabilities for the Pension Fund. Asa 
result it has been found advisable during the year 1918 to 
guard against an extension of the membership with the conse- 
quent liabilities which such extension entails. For this reason, 
the Pension Fund has fewer subscribers at the end of 1918 
than at the beginning of the year. The diminished member- 
ship, however, indicates no decrease in the prosperity of the 
Fund, which promises expansion at the usual rate with the re- 
turn of pre-war conditions. 


The report of membership for 1918 is as follows:

Consistent with the good record which they established for 
themselves at the time of the first Liberty Loans, in 1917, the 
employees of the Museum have subscribed generously to the 
succeeding loans; 217 employees subscribed to the Third Loan 
(April-May), totalling $20,150; 175 employees subscribed to 
the Fourth Loan (October), in an amount of $20,900. As 
in the case of the previous loans, the generosity of one of the 
members of the Pension Board made it possible for the em- 
ployees to take out their bonds on a serial payment basis. It 
is due to this liberal provision that the employees were enabled 
to contribute so largely to the Liberty Loans. 

In accordance with its past policy, the Pension Board has 
given aid, during 1918, to such deserving employees as were in 
need of medical attention or hospital treatment and were them- 
selves unable to make the necessary provision. These em- 


Pension Fund Report 221 


ployees have in such cases been carefully examined and ad- 
vised by Dr. Anderton, and have been given help in obtaining 
the needed medical or hospital treatment. Wherever possible, 
a choice of hospitals has been given. Seven employees have 
received such aid during the past year, the majority obtaining 
relief as a result. 

The matter of securing endowed beds for the use of Museum 
employees was taken up again in 1918 by the Board, but it was 
not found possible to conclude a satisfactory arrangement. 

In order to keep the Pension Fund intact, the Trustees of the 
Museum, at a meeting held early in 1918, agreed to reimburse 
the Fund for such amounts as it might be necessary to pay on 
account of casualties occurring among the subscribing mem- 
bers in the national service, to a total amount not exceeding 
$5,000. As estimate showed that $5,000 was the approximate 
maximum liability of the Fund on account of war losses, the 
provision was a guaranty of the integrity of the Pension Fund. 
It served also as a further evidence of the liberality and in- 
terest of the Trustees in affairs touching the welfare of Pension 
members and their families. 

The Pension Board, having in mind the health of subscrib- 
ing members of the Fund and of other employees, have sug- 
gested to the Trustees of the corporation the desirability of 
retaining a physician, whose duty it should be to make free 
periodical examinations of employees, with a view to the pre- 
vention and correction of ailments. While such an arrange- 
ment would involve considerable expense, it is anticipated that 
the benefits to and the increased efficiency of the employees 
would be an adequate return on the investment. 

As a result of the greatly increased living expenses and the 
high wage levels prevailing in industrial occupations, some of 
the subscribing employees in 1918 requested leave of absence 
for the period of the war, with a view to earning more money. 
While the Museum authorities would have welcomed the 
opportunity of assisting these employees in any legitimate way, 
they felt that to permit such leave of absence would be unjust, 
as the members, although absent from their work in the Mu- 
seum, would none the less remain liabilities against the Fund, 


222 Pension Fund Report 


and with undoubtedly increased risk. This would amount to a 
discrimination against the greater number of subscribers. It 
was therefore found necessary to reject such applications for 
leave of absence, and to notify the members of the Fund that 
only military or naval service, compliance with the rulings of 
the Draft Board, illness, or such other reasons as the authori- 
ties should find just and proper, would constitute valid basis 
for leave of absence. 


ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 


For the use of their endowed beds in the Presbyterian Hos- 
pital, the Pension Fund is grateful to Mr. Horace F. Hutchin- 
son and Mr. Richard B. Kelly. 

For codperation in securing free treatment at the Presby- 
terian Hospital for an employee in need, the Board is indebted 
to Mr. L. E. Belmont. 

Col. S. H. Wolfe has generously extended to the Pension 
Board the privilege of sending employees to the number of 
five in one year to use his endowed bed in Mt. Sinai Hospital. 

The Pension Board is grateful to Dr. Walter P. Anderton 
for his unremitting care and patience in the examination of 
members and applicants, and for his kind codperation in secur- 
ing the necessary treatment and facilities for employees in 
need of such assistance. 

To Counsel Lewis L. Delafield the Pension Board owes 
thanks for advice and suggestions graciously offered during 
the past year. 

The members of the Pension Fund are proud of their Honor 
Roll, to which a number of names have been added since the 
last Report. We have reason to be deeply thankful that, while 
a number of men have been wounded, only one loss of life has 
occurred among our men in service.

Deceased Subseribers 


It is with deep regret that we record the deaths of the 
following members during the year 1918: 


GEORGE CHAMBERLAIN 


George Chamberlain was born on January 21, 1879, in Cam- 
bridge, England. Entering the service of the Museum in 1909 
as an attendant, his capabilities were early recognized, and he 
was soon transferred to the Library, in which department he 
labored faithfully and with competence up to the time of his 
last illness. Possessed of an unusually happy disposition, 
never failing courtesy and genial presence, his untimely death 
caused a deep sense of personal loss to his associates in the 
institution. He died on October 29, 1918, after a long and 
painful illness during which he displayed remarkable fortitude 
and cheerfulness. 


CHARLES A. CONNOLLY 


Charles A. Connolly was born on February 9, 1893, in New 
York City. In 1911, he came to the Museum and was assigned 
to the Custodians’ Force. In 1914, he joined the famous 69th 
Regiment and served with his company, as sergeant, for nine 
months in 1917 on the Mexican border. Mustered into the 
Federal Service in 1918, he was among the first to be sent 
abroad. On July 28, during the famous drive at Chateau- 
Thierry, he made the supreme sacrifice for his country and for 
the liberty and integrity of the nations of the earth. A fitting 
monument to his memory will long endure in the form of a 
grove of fruit-trees bearing his name, which this institution 


225 


226 Pension Fund Report 


has caused to be planted where he fell. His former associates 
in the Museum are reminded of their loss by the golden star 
on the Museum’s service flag. As a soldier, his courage, tact- 
fulness and care for those under him have been heartily at- 
tested by his comrades. As a loving and considerate son, a 
genial companion, an efficient and conscientious worker, and 
above all as a thoroughly patriotic American young man, he 
will always be affectionately remembered. 


DANIEL DOHERTY 

Daniel Doherty was born on June 15, 1856, in Ireland. For 
about eighteen years he served this institution efficiently and 
faithfully. Intensely patriotic and loyal to the country of his 
adoption, he was equally ardent and firm in his friendships. 
Always welcome among groups of workers in the Museum, his 
unexpected death came as a distinct shock. Pleasant memories 
of this agreeable and trustworthy employee will always remain 
in the hearts of those with whom he associated. He died on 
June 27, 1918.
