REPORT ON THE PROGRESS AND CONDITION OF
THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR
THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1914.

By RicHarD RATHBUN,
Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution,
in charge of the U. S. National Museum.

INCEPTION AND HISTORY.

The Congress of the United States in the act of August 10, 1846,
founding the Smithsonian Institution recognized that an opportunity
was afforded, in carrying out the large-minded design of Smithson,
to provide for the custody of the museum of the Nation. To this
new establishment was therefore intrusted the care of the national
collections, a course that time has fully justified.

In the beginning the cost of maintaining the museum side of the
Institution’s work was wholly paid from the Smithsonian income;
then for a time the Government bore a share, and during the past 39
years Congress has voted the entire funds for the expenses of the
museum, thus furthering one of the primary means “ for the increase
and diffusion of knowledge among men” without encroaching upon
the resources of the Institution.

The museum idea was inherent in the establishment of the Smith-
sonian Institution, which in its turn was based upon a 10 years’ dis-
cussion in Congress and the advice of the most distinguished scien-
tific men, educators, and intellectual leaders of the Nation of 70 years
ago. It is interesting to note how broad and comprehensive were the
views which actuated our lawmakers in determining the scope of the
Museum, a fact especially remarkable when it is recalled that at that
date no museum of considerable size existed in the United States, and
the museums of England and of the continent of Europe were still
to a large extent without a developed plan, although containing many

rich collections.
q

8 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914,

The Congress which passed the act of foundation enumerated as
within the scope of the Museum “all objects of art and of foreign
and curious research and all objects of natural history, plants, and
geological and mineralogical specimens belonging to the United
States,” thus stamping the Museum at the very outset as one of the
widest range and at the same time as the Museum of the United
States. It was also fully appreciated that additions would be neces-
sary to the collections then in existence, and provision was made for
their increase by the exchange of duplicate specimens, by donations,
and by other means.

If the wisdom of Congress in so fully providing for a museum in
the Smithsonian law challenges attention, the interpretation put upon
this law by the Board of Regents within less than six months from
the passage of the act can not but command admiration. In the
early part of September, 1846, the Regents took steps toward formu-
lating a plan of operations. The report of the committee appointed
for this purpose, submitted in December and January following,
shows a thorough consideration of the subject in both the spirit and
letter of the law. It would seem not out of place to cite here the
first pronouncement of the board with reference to the character of
the Museum:

“Tn obedience to the requirements of the charter, which leaves
little discretion in regard to the extent of accommodations to be
provided, your committee recommend that there be included in the
building a museum of liberal size, = up to receive the collections
destined for the Institution. * *

“As important as the cabinets of natural history by the charter
required to be included in the Museum, your committee regard its
ethnological portion, including all collections that may supply items
in the physical history of our species, and illustrate the manners,
customs, religions, and progressive advance of the various nations of
the world; as, for example, collections of skulls, skeletons, portraits,
dresses, implements, weapons, idols, antiquities, of the various races
of man. * * * In this connexion your committee recommend the
passage of resolutions asking the cooperation of certain public fune-
tionaries and of the public generally in furtherance of the above
objects.

“Your committee are further of opinion that in the Museum, if
the funds of the Institution permit, might judiciously be included
various series of models illustrating the progress of some of the most
useful inventions; such, for example, as the steam engine from its
earliest and rudest form to its present most improved state; but this

1 Since the Institution was not chartered in a legal sense, but established by
Congress, the use of the word ‘“ charter” in this connection was not correct.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 9

they propose only so far as it may not encroach on ground already
covered by the numerous models in the Patent Office.

“Specimens of staple materials, of their gradual manufacture, and
of the finished product of manufactures and the arts may also, your
committee think, be usefully introduced. This would supply oppor-
tunity to examine samples of the best manufactured articles our
country affords, aah to judge her gradual progress in arts and man-
tifactures.))* ..*

“The gallery of art, your committee think, should include both
paintings and sculpture, as well as engravings and architectural
designs; and it is desirable to have in connexion with it one or more
studios in which young artists might copy without interruption,
being admitted under such regulations as the board may prescribe.
Your committee also think that, as the collection of paintings and
sculpture will probably accumulate slowly, the room destined for a
gallery of art might properly and usefully meanwhile be occupied
during the sessions of Congress as an exhibition room for the works
of artists generally; and the extent and general usefulness of such
an exhibition might probably be increased if an arrangement could
be effected with the Academy of Design, the Arts Union, the Artists’
Fund Society, and other associations of similar character, so as to
concentrate at the metropolis for a certain portion of each winter the
best results of talent in the fine arts.”

The important points in the foregoing report are (1) that it was
the opinion of the Regents that a museum was requisite under the law,
Congress having left no discretion in the matter; (2) that ethnology
and anthropology, though not specially named, were yet as important
subjects as natural history; (38) that the asta, of the progress of
useful inventions and the collection of the raw materials and prod-
ucts of the manufactures and arts should also be provided for; (4)
for the gallery of art the committee had models in existence, and
they proposed, pending the gathering of art collections, which would
of necessity be slow, to provide for loan exhibitions by cooperating
with art academies and societies.

In the resolutions which were adopted upon the presentation of the
report, a museum was mentioned as “one of the principal modes of
executing the act and trust.”! The work was to go forward as the

* Resolved, That it is the intention of the act of Congress establishing the
Institution, and in accordance with the design of Mr. Smithson, as expressed
in his will, that one of the principal modes of executing the act and the trust
is the accumulation of collections of specimens and objects of natural history
and of elegant art, and the gradual formation of a library of valuable works
pertaining to all departments of human knowledge, to the end that a copious
storehouse of materials of science, literature, and art may be provided which
shall excite and diffuse the love of learning among men, and shall assist the
original investigations and efforts of those who may devote themselves to the
pursuit of any branch of knowledge.

10 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

funds permitted, and, as is well known, the maintenance of the
Museum and the library was long ago assumed by Congress, the Insti-
tution taking upon itself only so much of the necessary responsibility
for the administration of these and subsequent additions to its activi-
ties as would weld them into a compact whole, which together form
a unique and notable agency for the increase and diffusion of knowl-
edge, for the direction of research, for cooperation with depart-
ments of the Government and with universities and scientific socie-
ties in America, and likewise afford a definite correspondent to all
scientific institutions and men abroad who seek interchange of views
or knowledge with men of science in the United States.

Since that early day the only material change in the scope of the
Government Museum has been the addition of a department of
American history, intended to illustrate by an appropriate assem-
blage of objects the lives of distinguished personages, important
events, and the domestic life of the country from the colonial period
to the present time.

The development of the Museum has been greatest in those sub-
jects which the conditions of the past 64 years have made most fruit-
ful—the natural history, geology, ethnology, and archeology of the
United States, supplemented by many collections from other coun-
tries. The opportunities for acquisition in these directions have
been mainly brought about through the activities of the scientific and
economic surveys of the Government, many of which are the direct
outgrowths of earlier explorations, stimulated or directed by the
Smithsonian Institution. The Centennial Exhibition of 1876 af-
forded the first opportunity for establishing a department of the
industrial arts on a creditable basis, and of this the fullest advantage
was taken, though only a part of the collections then obtained could
be accommodated in the space available. The department or gallery
of the fine arts had made little progress, though not from lack of
desire or appreciation, until within the past eight years, during
which its interests have been markedly advanced.

With the completion of the new large granite structure on the
Mall, the Museum has come virtually into possession of a group of
three buildings, in which there is opportunity for a proper sys-
tematic arrangement of its vast and varied collections as well as a
comprehensive public installation, and under these favorable con-
ditions it may be considered to have entered upon an era of re-
newed prosperity and usefulness.

While it is the primary duty of a museum to preserve the objects
confided to its care, as it is that of a library to preserve its books
and manuscripts, yet the importance of public collections rests not
upon the mere basis of custodianship, nor upon the number of speci-
mens assembled and their money value, but upon the use to which

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 11

they are put. Judged by this standard, the National Museum may
claim to have reached a high state of efficiency. From an educa-
tional point of view it is of great value to those persons who are so
fortunate as to reside in Washington or who are able to visit the
Nation’s capital. In its well-designed cases, in which every detail
of structure, appointment, and color is considered, a selection of
representative objects is placed on view to the public, all being care-
fully labeled individually and in groups. The child as well as the
adult has been provided for, and the kindergarten pupil and the
high-school scholar can be seen here, supplementing their class-room
games or studies. Under authority from Congress, the small col-
leges and higher grades of schools and academies throughout the
land, especially in places where museums do not exist, are also being
aided in their educational work by sets of duplicate specimens, se-
lected and labeled to meet the needs of both teachers and pupils.

Nor has the elementary or even the higher education been by any
means the sole gainer from the work of the Museum. To advance
knowledge, to gradually extend the boundaries of learning, has been
one of the great tasks to which the Museum, in consonance with the
spirit of the Institution, has set itself from the first. Its staff,
though chiefly engaged in the duties incident to the care, classifica-
tion, and labeling of collections in order that they may be accessible
to the public and to students, has yet in these operations made im-
portant discoveries in every department of the Museum’s activities,
which have in turn been communicated to other scholars through its
numerous publications. But the collections have not been held for
the study of the staff nor for the scientific advancement of those
belonging to the establishment. Most freely have they been put at
the disposal of investigators connected with other institutions, and,
in fact, without such help the record of scientific progress based
upon the material in the Museum would have been greatly curtailed.
When it is possible to so arrange, the investigator comes to Wash-
ington; otherwise such collections as he needs are sent to him,
whether he resides in this country or abroad. In this manner prac-
tically every prominent specialist throughout the world interested
in the subjects here well represented has had some use of the collec-
tions, and thereby the National Museum has come to be recognized
as a conspicuous factor in the advancement of knowledge wherever
civilization has a foothold.

AMERICAN HISTORY AND THE ARTS AND INDUSTRIES.

From 1850 until 1881 the collections of the National Museum had
only the Smithsonian building as their depository, and in this struc-
ture they increased so greatly that all of the available space became
filled far beyond its capacity. In the year last named the adjoining
brick building was completed and made available for the overflow
and for the many large donations received at the Philadelphia Ex-
hibition of 1876. The growth of the collections continued rapidly,
however, and in not many years this additional space was also more
than occupied, becoming, in fact, so overcrowded that an orderly
arrangement ceased to be possible, and the exhibits of natural history,
of anthropology, of the arts and industries and of the fine arts were
more or less intermingled, unsystematically and with little regard
to relationship. The large granite building finished in 1911, or 30
years later, brought the relief so much desired and permitted an
organization which had long been looked forward to. This latest
building was planned and erected with special reference to the needs
of anthropology, biology and geology, composing what is known as
the natural history branch of the Museum. The removal of the col-
lections of these departments released about one-half of the exhibi-
tion space in the two older buildings, affording opportunity for re-
newing and increasing the art and industrial collections which at one
time had been very prominent, for improving the methods for their
administration and display, and for giving them a status of practical
and educational usefulness.

It is not to be understood, however, that the arts and industries
have remained unrepresented, as several of the branches established
in 1881 have been continuously maintained, though under very un-
satisfactory conditions, and they will require revision and amplifica-
tion as well as a strengthening of the expert staff. Among these are
such important topics as mechanical technology, transportation, fire-
arms, medicine, the graphic arts, ceramics, glass and metal work, and
also American history, which was originally classified in this depart-
ment. The new subjects, or rather those to be reestablished and in
which considerable advancement has even now been made, comprise
mainly the great industries concerned with the utilization of mineral,
vegetable and animal products, the most significant of all to the wel-
fare of the human race, as they supply our food, our clothing and

12

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 13

our homes. The object of these collections and of the work that will
be put upon them is both cultural and practical, and, as in the more
progressive of the countries of the Old World, they are in large part
designed to furnish very material aid toward the promotion and bet-
terment of art and industrial pursuits in the United States.

For its public exhibitions the department has been allotted the
entire floor and gallery space in the older Museum building and the
three lower halls in the Smithsonian building. The latter will be
used by the division of graphic arts, but owing to extensive repairs
and alterations under way the installation of the materials of this
division has necessarily been deferred and an account of them must
be left for a future report. In this connection, therefore, attention
can be directed only to the conditions in the Museum building and to
the work there in progress. Before so doing, however, it is impor-
tant to explain that ample as may seem the accommodations for ex-
pansion afforded by these two buildings the time is near when, in the
ordinary course of events, these facilities will be entirely exhausted.
But the extraordinary must also be looked for, and as instances may
be cited the tender, since the close of the year, of a collection of
extreme historical importance, valued at many thousands of dollars,
which alone would fill one of the large halls, and there is also another
collection consisting mainly of works of art of at least the same
extent and of even greater value, bequeathed to the Museum, for
which there will be no suitable place in either building. ‘These con-
ditions operate to the disadvantage of the Museum in two directions
in respect to the arts and industries. Great gifts can not be solicited
with the knowledge that no place exists for their accommodation,
while, on the other hand, would-be benefactors are deterred from
making presents for the same reason. The public has fully
awakened to the possibilities of its Museum, and to the benefits which
it might, and to a large extent already does, confer, and it is solely
in the interest of the public welfare that the Museum seeks to increase
its opportunities for doing good.

A detailed account of the older Museum building was published
in the annual report for 1908. Its principal features with special
reference to the interior are briefly as follows: The main part of
the building is square, measuring 300 feet long on each side, and con-
sists of a single story, varying greatly in height in its different sec-
tions. At each corner of the square is a relatively large pavilion and
in the middle of each facade is a broad tower which project 124 feet
from the main building line and increase the length of each frontage
to 325 feet. Architecturally the building, which is of brick, consists
of a central rotunda from which four naves extend in the direction
of the four main points of the compass, in the form of a Greek
cross. Following the outer walls and connecting the naves are eight

14 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

ranges, which, in conjunction with the former, inclose four covered
courts. After the rotunda the naves have the greatest height, the
courts coming next and the ranges last, in this respect. The ranges
are lighted by large windows in the outer walls, as are also the outer
ends of the naves. The naves otherwise and the rotunda and courts
entirely receive their light from an abundance of clerestory windows.
The illumination is therefore excellent, except for some interference
on the floors through the introduction of galleries subsequent to the
original construction.

This building stands southeast of the Smithsonian building, from
which it is separated by an interspace of only about 50 feet, and its
front or north face is about on the same line as the south face of
the other. It covers a total ground area of 97,786 square feet, or
about 21 acres. The towers and pavilions, which are three stories
high and used for laboratories and offices, furnish 40,293 square feet
of floor space; while the rotunda, naves, ranges, and courts, with
such galleries as they contain, supply 103,195 square feet, or a little
more than 24 acres, of space adapted to exhibition purposes. The
towers were arranged so that each might furnish an entrance into
the building, but only two have been so utilized—the north tower for
the public and the east tower for official purposes.

The several subdivisions of the interior of the main part of the
building are marked by rows of large brick piers, having a structural
purpose in that they help to support the roofs, separated by wide
openings terminating above in arched heads. As constructed, there-
fore, this interior was of the nature of a single room of exceptionally
large dimensions. Exhibition cases placed between the piers have
helped to fill in the interspaces, but with the object of securing better
fire protection a large number of the openings have been built in
with appropriate wall material, and this work is being further ad-
vanced from time to time.

The plan of the building is shown in the accompanying diagram,
on which the subdivisions are designated in accordance with cus-
tomary usage. The naves are called halls, but otherwise the archi-
tectural names are retained. The four halls—north, south, east and
west—are much the largest of the subdivisions, and each measures
about 102 feet 4 inches long by 62 feet 5 inches wide. The diameter
of the rotunda corresponds approximately with this width. The
northern and southern ranges are somewhat longer than the eastern
and western, owing to interior extensions from the pavilions on the
east and west sides of the building. The former measure about 89
feet 4 inches long and the latter about 63 feet 2 inches, the width of
all averaging about 49 feet 9 inches. The courts average 63 feet
square.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. | 15

All of the subdivisions except the rotunda, the north hall, the
east north, the north east, and the south east ranges are provided with
galleries, the main entrance to which is from the rotunda. In the
courts they occupy all four sides and are 10 feet 3 inches wide.
Elsewhere they occur on three sides, except in the north west range,
where only one side is so utilized. In the halls they range from

13 feet 6 inches to 14 feet wide, and in the ranges are 12 feet wide.
The south east range at the gallery height is entirely built over to
form a complete second story. Although all of the galleries were
planned for exhibition purpose and will eventually be so employed,
a few have been and still are used as laboratories and for the storage
of collections.

The floor plan, owing to the symmetry of design, makes every part
of the exhibition space readily accessible to visitors, and communi-

16 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914,

cation from one part of the building to another is direct and unob-
structed. All of the halls open broadly into the rotunda, and there
is a continuous passage from range to range about the building.
Only the courts are out of the beaten paths, and each has one or
two entrances appropriately placed.

With this brief description of the building, we may proceed to an
account of its present and prospective uses.

HISTORY.

The division of history, organized in 1881, was primarily designed
to illustrate the history of the United States from colonial times by
exhibiting such relics or memorials of noteworthy personages and
events as could be brought together, with groups of objects rep-
resenting different periods. Recently an American period costume
collection has been added, which introduces a very striking and in-
teresting feature; and to the division are also assigned the coins and
medals and the paraphernalia of the postal service, the most im-
portant being the stamps, all of which relate to other countries as
well as our own. While practically all of the memorials and cos-
tumes are displayed, the duplicate coins and medals and full sets of
duplicates from the stamp collection are arranged as a reserve series
for the use of students. Also filed in drawers and constituting a
most valuable reference series are several thousand photographs
and engravings of individuals who have gained more or less promi-
nence in their respective pursuits.

Originally based mainly on loans, so large a part of the collection
has become the property of the Museum that its permanency is fixed
beyond question. Lenders, moreover, appreciating the protection
assured their heirlooms, and actuated to some extent at least by pa-
triotic motives, are not inclined to withdraw the objects belonging
to them, and it is interesting to note the frequent changes during
recent years from “loan” to “ gift” of important articles that have
been deposited. :

Starting with the north hall as its sole exhibition space, which it
shared with other subjects, the collections have grown so steadily
that the division at present not only utilizes that entire hall, but has
also gained possession of the west north and north west ranges and the
floor space in the northwest court, with an aggregate of about 17,000
square feet of floor space.

MEMORIAL COLLECTIONS.

The general historical or memorial collections, constituting the
most varied and popular section of the division and the most ex-
tensive as regards the area covered, occupy the north hall and west

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. lef

north range, which are directly within the main entrance. The fur-
nishings of the north hall consist of a continuous wall case on each
side, 65 feet long, 8 feet high and 4 feet deep, and of many floor cases,
numbering 56 at the close of last year. The type mainly used on
the floor is the Gray pattern of the Kensington case, the remainder
consisting of other patterns of the same and of various other types.
These cases are arranged in two rows on either side of a wide passage
leading from the entrance to the rotunda, but with some departure
from the rule in places. In the west north range the cases are of
several types, disposed in four rows—one on the north or window
side and three on the south side of the principal passage, which
extends from the main entrance to the northwest pavilion.

The collections contained in these two halls are especially rich in
relics of American Army and Navy officers, including swords,
uniforms, and other objects, which recall the names and services
of their illustrious owners and illustrate the changes in fashion in
these articles from the time of the Revolution to the present day.
Next in importance of representation is probably the progress and
attainments of science in this country, demonstrated by large num-
bers of medals and documents bestowed in acknowledgment of
achievements, and personal articles of various kinds. Supplementing
these is a large amount of material relating to the civil, domestic,
economic, and art affairs of the country, interesting as typical of
different periods and in many cases associated with some figure
notable in connection with these phases of our history. Also in-
cluded in the collection is an important series of historical maps,
paintings and engravings, and many announcements of awards of
honor and merit, commissions and diplomas.

In the arrangement of the exhibition it has not been possible to
proceed on a thoroughly systematic basis. The limitations of space
would alone prevent this, and the conditions accompanying loans
generally require that each be displayed as a whole. Moreover, the
collection is being added to so often and so extensively that each
new acquisition would require an entire shifting of cases and the
reinstallation of some of them, and even under the method followed
this has to be done to a greater or less extent from time to time.
With a sufficient amount of space and number of cases and the
absence of any restrictions, a much better and more comprehensible
installation could be made, and this desirable result, it is hoped, may
some time be possible of attainment. The present basis of arrange-
ment is mainly the individual collection, each series of objects re-
lating to a particular person being, as far as possible, kept intact
and the articles in each placed near together. With these condi-
tions fulfilled, and in view of the limitations referred to, the order

is essentially chronological. The position of collections must, how-
ever, In many cases be determined by their size and their timely
interest to the public, and some of them consist of a great diversity
of material, representing considerable periods of time. In this
connection more than a general account of the collections, with some
references to their more important features, is impossible.

North hall—The two large cases on the sides of this hall, hereto-
fore occupied by the collection of musical instruments which has re-
cently been removed, will be used for historical furniture, though
there are many pieces installed in connection with individual ex-
hibits where they will remain. Among the extensive material to be
drawn upon for these cases are chairs, tables, and various other ar-
ticles, and among the historic names represented are Lafayette,
Thomas Jefferson, Brig. Gen. Rufus Putnam, Alexander Hamilton,
Chief Justice John Marshall, Col. Peter Gansevoort, and Col. John
Cropper of the Continental Army. It is also proposed to decorate
the upper part of the cases with a series of historical paintings and
engravings.

Suspended in the wall case on the right, awaiting accommodations
by which a greater extent of its expanse may be displayed, is one of
the most precious and valued of all the possessions of the Museum.
This is “ The Star-Spangled Banner ” of Fort McHenry, the inspira-
tion for Francis Scott Key’s immortal verses, which, retained by
Maj. George Armistead, its defender, has, through the generosity of
his grandson, Mr. Eben Appleton, become the property of the Nation.
An account of the steps recently taken to secure the perpetual preser-
vation of this flag is given in another part of this report.

Taking up now the cases on the floor, one finds that the row on the
extreme left is devoted mainly to the colonial period and the time of
the American Revolution. Two cases are filled with colonial relics,
including silver, glass, china, fabrics and articles of personal wear,
many connected with prominent personages, deposited by the Na-
tional Society of the Colonial Dames of America; and two others
with similar objects of a somewhat later period, deposited by the Na-
tional Society cf the Daughters of the American Revolution. In the
same series additional miscellaneous memorials of the Revolution,
including a flag, a number of presentation and service swords, silver-
ware and other objects, are likewise contained in two cases, in one of ~
which is also installed a set of rare china purchased in 1790 by Dr.
David Townsend, of Massachusetts, an original member of the Society
of the Cincinnati, each piece bearing the insignia of the society, and
the set being accompanied by Dr. Townsend’s diploma of member-
ship, signed by Washington as president of the society. Next comes
a printing press that was used by Benjamin Franklin in 1725-1726,

when a printer in London, followed by a collection of special note,
consisting of a number of military and civil costumes, swords, por-
traits and other relics of Brig. Gen. Peter Gansevoort, United States
Army, relating to his career when, as a colonel in the Continental
' Army, he figured prominently in the campaigns against the British
in the Colony of New York. Included in this exhibit are also memo-
rials of Gen. Gansevoort’s son, who fought in the War of 1812, and
of his grandson, who attained the rank of brevet brigadier general
of volunteers in the Union Army during the Civil War.

Models of five vessels connected with the discovery and early
history of America are next in sequence. They represent a viking
ship, such as that in which the Norsemen are believed to have
_ visited this continent about 1000; the Santa Maria, flagship of
Columbus; the Susan Constant, which brought the first permanent
English colony to America; the A/ayflower of the Pilgrims; and
the United States frigate Constitution. The two remaining cases
in this row are devoted, respectively, to the War of 1812 and the
War with Mexico. In the first, among other articles, are a gold-
mounted sword presented to Maj. Gen. Jacob Brown by the Leg-
islature of New York, in recognition of his services during the bat-
tles of Chippewa and Bridgewater on July 5 and 25, 1814; a similar
sword presented to Maj. Gen. Eleazer W. Ripley for his services
during 1812-1814; a number of swords and pistols found on the battle
field of New Orleans; and a silver service of five pieces given to
Capt. James Lawrence, United States Navy, by the city of Philadel-
phia, in acknowledgment of his capture of the British brig Peacock.
Most noteworthy in the second case are two gold-mounted swords, one
set with jewels, presented to Maj. Gen. James Shields by the States
of South Carolina and Illinois, respectively, in recognition of his
services during the War with Mexico; swords of the same character
presented to Brig. Gen. Gabriel R. Paul and Brig. Gen. George W.
Morgan; a sword and silver pitcher presented to Maj. Gen. John B.
Magruder; a gold medal awarded to Brig. Gen. Wilham H. Browne
by the city of New York; two United States volunteer regiment flags
of the period and a Mexican flag captured during the war, besides a
number of miscellaneous articles, including swords, silver-mounted
pistols, and uniforms worn at that time by United States officers.

The adjoining row of cases, that facing the main thoroughfare on
the left, contains relics of three classes. The first consists of ob-
jects of the nineteenth century, including a number of valuable
jewels and other articles given to the United States in 1841 by the
Imam of Muscat, and personal relics of various individuals, includ-
ing Alexander Macomb Mason Bey and Mr. S. F. B. Morse. The
second comprises memorials of prominent military and naval officers

20 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914,

of the United States, consisting mainly of jeweled, presentation and
service swords, dress and service uniforms, etc. Among the Army
officers represented are Maj. Gen. Alexander Macomb and Maj. Gen.
Winfield Scott Hancock; among the Navy officers, Stephen Decatur,
M. C. Perry, James Biddle, David D. Porter, David G. Farragut,
Charles Wilkes, and John W. Philip. The third class comprehends
a large and rich series of awards of merit and honor, including deco-
rations, many of which are of great value both artistically and in-
trinsically. The important and varied collection bequeathed by
Prof. Simon Newcomb, United States Navy, fills four cases; while
the medals awarded to Commander Matthew Fontaine Maury,
United States Navy, for his services to science and navigation, num-
ber 21. Also installed in this class are a gold snuffbox set with
diamonds and a number of gold medals awarded to Joseph Francis
in recognition of his services to humanity for his invention of the
life-saving car; and many medals, decorations, and other forms of
award conferred on American men of note, among whom may be
mentioned Commodore John Rogers, Brig. Gen. M. C. Meigs, Alex-
ander Macomb Mason, Hon. 8. S. Cox, Prof. Alexander Dallas Bache,
and Prof. Spencer F. Baird. <A single case is occupied by the ex-
ceptionally large and artistic collection of gold and silver medals
and other awards to Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary, United States
Navy, in recognition of his polar explorations.

The first case from the entrance on the right of the main thorough-
fare contains the few memorials of Lincoln possessed by the Museum,
including the casts of his face and hands made by Leonard W. Volk,
of Chicago, in 1860. In four adjoining cases is displayed the notable
collection of relics of Gen. Ulysses 8. Grant, which came mainly to
the Museum in 1886 as a gift to the Government from Mrs. Grant
and Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt. Of extreme value intrinsically, artisti-
cally, and for the wide range of countries represented, as it contains
the many presents made to Gen. Grant during his world tour in
1877-1879, as well as at home, in recognition of his distinction as
soldier and statesman, it is one of the largest and most important
individual features of the division. Conspicuous among the articles
are a large number of presentation and service swords, pieces of
china, bronze, gold and silver ware, gold and silver medals, and other
objects of art interest; several pieces of Chinese and Japanese bronze
and porcelain, a set of modern Japanese gold and silver coins, and
ancient gold medals, presented by the Emperor of Japan; and hand-
somely designed gold and silver caskets representing the freedom
of several English cities. Associated with this collection is the series
of beautiful and costly objects given to Mrs. Grant when abroad
with her husband, and after her death donated in her name by her

children; while belonging with it are many documents in the form
of Gen. Grant’s Army commissions, honorary diplomas, addresses,
etc., which are installed in cases more appropriate for them in the
west north range. In a case near his father’s are uniforms, swords,
and other interesting articles of Maj. Gen. Frederick D. Grant, con-
nected with his campaigns in Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands,
followed by memorials of the same type relating to Gen. Sherman
and Maj. Gen. Judson Kilpatrick. Other Civil War figures repre-
sented in the western section of the hall and also partly in the range
are Maj. Gens. C. C. Washburn, George A. Custer, W. S. Harney
and Thomas Swords; Brig. Gens. William B. Hazen, William Henry
Browne, James B. McPherson, George W. Morgan, Gabriel R. Paul,
Strong Vincent and John W. De Peyster; Flag Officer Andrew H.
Foote; Col. E. E. Ellsworth and John Brown.

There are also many additional relics of the Civil War period,

notable among which are a chair, secretary and table from the room
in the McLean house at Appomattox, where the articles for the sur-
render of the Army of Virginia in 1865 were agreed upon by Gens.
Grant and Lee, and a tree trunk severed by bullets at the battle of
Spottsylvania Court House, Va., on May 12, 1864. The memorials
of the Confederate States Army fill only a single case, as, unfor-
tunately, it has been impossible to obtain a better representation.
' At the end of the hall, adjoining the rotunda, is a large and valu-
able collection of memorials of Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley,
installed in two cases and comprising uniforms, presentation and
jeweled swords, gold and jeweled medals, a silver service and other
objects, mainly gifts in recognition of achievements during his long
service in the Navy, actively terminating with the War with Spain.
Close by are two other cases devoted to miscellaneous relics of the
Spanish War, including a number of captured Spanish flags, swords
andguns. A large case near the middle of the hall is especially note-
worthy as representing the personal side of a single family, the ~
Bailey-Myers-Mason, for a period of about a century, its contents
consisting of costumes, swords, silverware, porcelain, and many rich
and jeweled objects of domestic interest. Adjoining are four ex-
hibits illustrating the scientific work and inventive genius of Prof.
Joseph Henry, Mr. S. F. B. Morse, Mr. Cyrus Field, and Dr. 8S. P.
Langley.

In the rotunda are a number of Spanish guns captured in 1898,
numerous relics from the wreck of the battleship A/aine, and a
bronze cannon and carriage brought to this country by Lafayette
in 1777 and used by the allied French and Continental forces in the
War of the American Revolution.

22 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

West north range-—On entering the range one comes immediately
upon the memorials of Washington, which are installed in seven cases
adjoining the passage on the left. Consisting chiefly of the collec-
tion purchased by the Government in 1878 from the heirs of Mrs.
Lawrence Lewis, subsequent additions from other sources have in-
creased the number of objects to about 400. While composed largely
of articles of domestic and artistic interest from Mount Vernon, the
collection also includes important relics of Gen. Washington’s life
in the field during the War of the American Revolution. Among
the former are silver, china and glass ware, typical of the period
they represent, chairs, tables and mirrors of antique design, a copy
of Houdon’s bust of Washington, miniature portraits of Gen. and
Mrs. Washington by Trumbull, and several personal objects which
had belonged to them and to Nelly Custis. Among the latter are
the tents and camp chest with mess utensils used by Washington,
and also the Continental uniform he wore when he resigned his com-
mission as commander in chief before Congress at Annapolis, Md.,
December 23, 1783. In one of the cases of the series is a collection
of Lowestoft china and cut glass used at Mount Vernon about the
close of the eighteenth century and bequeathed by Mrs. Washington
to her granddaughter, Eliza Parke Custis. |

Arranged in four cases near by is a large collection of domestic
objects, such as costumes, textiles, china, glass and miscellaneous
articles, representing the Copp family of .New England in the
colonial and Revolutionary periods. Five cases at the inner end
of the range contain medals, pieces of silver, a fine malachite case,
handsomely bound volumes and pictures dealing with Russian his-
tory, art and other subjects, presented by Emperor Alexander II
of Russia and various Russian societies and individuals to Gustavus
Vasa Fox on the occasion of his visit to Russia im 1866, when, in
appreciation of its friendly attitude toward this Government dur-
ing the Civil War, he was sent by Congress as a special envoy to
personally congratulate the Emperor on his escape from assassina-
tion early in the same year. The collection also includes a number
of congratulatory letters and addresses of welcome received by Mr.
Fox during this mission. Among the numerous other exhibits in
the range are memorials of Dr. William T. G. Morton, who demon-
strated the art of surgical anesthesia; of Joseph Wharton, who was
among the first to establish the manufacture of nickel in the United
States; and of Gen. José Antonio Paez, the Venezuelan patriot and
minister to the United States in 1860-61. Three cases contain mis-
cellaneous relics of the early part of the nineteenth century, includ-
ing jewelry, textiles, china, ete.; and in a single case is displayed a
collection of swords illustrating the types of this weapon used in

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 23

the United States Army from the time of the Revolution to the
period of the Civil War, supplemented by a number of English,
French, and Spanish swords, some of the last named dating back
to the sixteenth century.

In a series of cases adjoining the window side of the range are
exhibited, among other articles, mainly documentary, the commis-
sions of Gen. Grant, Gen. Sherman, Maj. Gen. Thomas Swords, and
Brig. Gen. George W. Morgan; diplomas and other honors conferred
on Dr. 8S. P. Langley, and medals and diplomas awarded Prof.
George F. Barker, for their services to science; and a miscellaneous
collection of historical documents, plans, and maps. Adjoining the
opposite or south wall is a row of similar cases containing the David
W. Cromwell collection of postage stamps, which is exceptionally
large and valuable, and representative of foreign countries as well
asourown. On the walls other than that occupied by the windows are
hung paintings of historical personages, and engravings and other
prints illustrating noted scenes and landmarks in United States
history.

PERIOD COSTUMES.

There was opened to the public on February 1, 1914, a collection
of feminine import, which is quite unique for this country in its
largeness of scope and in part at least for its method of presenta-
tion. With few exceptions this assemblage is illustrative of the fash-
ions of the women of the United States from colonial times, including
all manner of accessories and embellishments, and the articles of their
particular sphere in the home life.

The first suggestion was for such a presentation of changes in
fashion as could be made by a display of costumes worn by the suc-
cessive mistresses of the White House, each so draped as to bring out
the full effect of the gown when upon the wearer. The task proved
doubly difficult, first in securing the material desired and second in
producing a lay figure or manikin sufficiently dignified and pleasing
to be associated with such surroundings. A considerable delay, there-
fore, ensued, but 15 gowns, representing as many presidential ad-
ministrations, have now been obtained, and a series of experiments
has resulted in the production of a manikin which leaves nothing
more to be desired in that respect. During the progress of this work,
moreover, the scope of the collection was enlarged to include other
costumes and other articles, installed in a more conventional way, as
described below. While there is practically no limit to the extent to
which such an exhibition could be carried, the restrictions in the
matter of space make necessary a careful discrimination in determin-
ing which of the many offers of material should be accepted, the

24 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

intention being to round out the subject with as little duplication as
possible.

The collection is, of course, confined to the period of civilization in
this country. Back of it is the ethnology of the American Indian, but
between is a considerable number of years which are not represented,
since the earliest costume it contains dates no further back than the
middle of the eighteenth century. It is hoped that this gap will not
remain without at least some illustrations. The costumes that have
been assembled do not include those of the lowly, but belong entirely
to at least the well to do, and mainly to the wealthy and distin-
guished, the classes to which the term “ fashion” seems solely to ap-
pertain. With these classes, therefore, have also originated the
changes in fashion, which, with the growth of the collection, are dis-
covered to be more distinctive, more progressively varying, and more
instructive than had been anticipated. For the study of this, the his-
torical, side of the subject of American costumes, the collection, small
as it still is, furnishes excellent material, as it also does for the study
of American history in general by its representation of so many per-
sons of notable connection with the affairs of the country.

For the inception of the collection, for the plan of its composition,
for the assembling of its innumerable parts, and for its installation
acknowledgments are due to Mrs. Julian James, of Washington, who
has had the constant hearty cooperation of Mrs. R. R. Hoes and the
help and advice of many other ladies of the Capital City. Upon Mrs.
James and Mrs. Hoes, however, has almost wholly devolved the work
of bringing together the costumes and other articles, which include
many contributions from their own stores of heirlooms, and of pre-
paring and arranging them for exhibition. The task has been espe-
cially arduous, as the materials had to be sought in many places and
were mainly acquired through their personal efforts. Their part,
moreover, has been entirely a labor of love, and has been conducted
with a zeal and devotion which could not but insure success. And
so with inconsiderable expense to the Museum has been added a sec-
tion of great importance, of extreme interest to the public, of high
intrinsic value, attractive and pleasing, but at the same time classified
and arranged in accordance with museum methods, and for a com-
parison with which one finds nothing in this country and little in
Europe.

The space occupied by the period costume collection is the north
west range, which is most easily reached from the main entrance by
passing to the right through the smaller hall of history. There is
also another opening from the west hall and communication with
the northwest court. The range measures about 63 by 50 feet, and
has a sloping ceiling which varies in height from 26 to 31 feet.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 25

The direct lighting is wholly from the west, where the outer wall
is pierced with five large windows, provided with heavy curtains to
protect the delicately tinted fabrics against fading. The walls and
ceiling are uniformly of an old ivory tint, and the only decoration
on the former, hung high above the cases, is the celebrated painting
by Henry Sandham, entitled “The March of Time,” representing a
review of the Grand Army of the Republic in Boston Common, in
which the faces are mostly portraits of prominent officers and women
of the Civil War.

The furnishings of the range are varied though not inharmonious.
The White House costumes are in large rectangular cases, with ebon-
ized frames and polished hardwood floors, which generally measure
5 by 8 feet square and 8 feet high. Each contains a single figure,
except one in which two have been installed. The 14 cases now pro-
vided are in two rows, 83 feet apart, the intervening space serving
as the main thoroughfare through the range from north to south.
Filling each of the broad interspaces between the piers on the three
inner walls, except at the three openings, is a standard alcove case,
which in appearance and purpose is the equivalent of a wall case.
In front of the piers, with one exception, are placed smaller cases,
six of the single lay figure pattern and three of about the same
height but somewhat wider. The entire space below the windows
on the west wall is occupied by a single sloping table case with an
upright back fitted with shelves. The remaining space, that between
the above-mentioned case and the nearest row of White House figure
cases, is used for a series of six American cases arranged crosswise.
These consist each of two sections of the floor type of sloping top,
placed back to back, with a small rectangular upright case between
and above them. :

Lay figures, as before explained, have been employed only for the
White House costumes; and after several attempts to avoid the ap-
pearance of the commercial manikin so often seen in store windows,
recourse was had with entire success to the methods employed in
producing the ethnological groups in the Museum. This meant a
greater expenditure of time and labor than had been intended and
a considerable delay in beginning the installation, but the results
have more than justified this course, the presentation of this part
of the collection being exceedingly dignified and wholly commend-
able. The heads, shoulders, arms and hands—the only exposed
parts—are in plaster, the remainder of the construction being of
wood and metal. The work is sculptural, but the delicate ivory tint
given the plaster removes all sense of coldness and produces a har-
mony with the drapery that results in a remarkably pleasing effective-
ness. A portraiture of any of the faces has not been attempted;

26 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

all are alike and are copied from a classic statue. The coiffure,
usually with its ornaments, if any are shown, is molded, and is based
upon a picture of the person represented or upon the style of the
time to which the costume belongs. The differences which these pro-
duce, together with changes in pose, all tend to obliterate the effect
of uniformity in facial features, and give to each head the impres-
sion of separate design. Neck ornaments are equally in plaster, and
the arms are molded from living models, including the gloves, where
they are worn. The draping has been well and tastefully done and
the effects are unusually realistic, most markedly so in certain of
the figures where the conditions were most favorable. The plaster
work has been executed by Mr. H. W. Hendley, formerly of the
Museum staff, under the direction of Mr. W. H. Holmes, while the
dressing of the figures has been done by Mrs. Julian James and Mrs.
Hoes, or under their supervision. In addition to the figures each
case also contains one or two pieces of furniture, such as tables and
chairs, and one or more other small articles having some relation to
the administration represented. These give a more finished appear-
ance to the cases and add to the historical interest of the collection.

The 15 presidential administrations illustrated are as follows:
George Washington, 1789-1797; John Adams, 1797-1801; James
Madison, 1809-1817; James Monroe, 1817-1825; Andrew Jackson,
1829-1837; Martin Van Buren, 1837-1841; William Henry Harrison,
1841; John Tyler, 1841-1845; James K. Polk, 1845-1849; James
Buchanan, 1857-1861; Ulysses S. Grant, 1869-1877; Rutherford B.
Hayes, 1877-1881; Benjamin Harrison, 1889-1893; William Me-
Kinley, 1897-1901; William H. Taft, 1909-1913.

The first of these administrations is represented by Mrs. Martha
Washington, who is seated in one of her own chairs, by the side of a
Mount Vernon table, on which is a Washington silver platter con-
taining a tea cup and saucer given her by the French officers, a de-
canter and glass, and a Lowestoft bowl. The gown which she wears
is of silk rep, of the old-fashioned salmon pink color, and is made of
many straight widths, pleated on a bodice slightly pointed front and
back. The entire dress is hand painted in a brocade design, in 1m-
itation of purple ribbons artistically entwined and caught in loops,
producing a repetition of larger and smaller rounded spaces, the
former containing small nosegays, the latter, insects and other small
animal forms, all done in their natural colors. There is a lace cap
on the head and an embroidered linen shawl about the shoulders.
The hands, in silk mitts, hold a workbag, on which is embroidered
“Mrs. M. Washington” in gold, surrounded by a wreath of flowers
in bright colors. While recognizing the futility of comparisons, this
figure would seem to be the most realistic of the group, and, though

presenting the earliest of the wives of Presidents, also the one most
readily identified, probably because of our long acquaintance with
the portraiture of this first lady of the Republic, which has been
successfully reproduced.

Mrs. John Adams, the wife of the second President, is shown in a
dress of puritanical simplicity, made of plum-colored Chinese crépe
embroidered with silk, and having a straight full skirt and long
puffed sleeves. A lace shawl, a fan, a pearl necklace, and yellow
kid slippers complete the costume. The wife of James Madison,
best known as Mrs. Dolly Madison, is very effectively presented in
the dress used by Mr. E. F. Andrews for the portrait well known to
Washingtonians. ‘The costume belongs to the early Empire period.
The short-waisted basque and the overskirt, which ends in a flowing
train, are of light yellow satin brocaded with many bunches of silver
wheat. The overskirt, edged with Valenciennes lace, is draped over
a white satin underskirt embroidered in pink roses, blue morning-
glories, and white cherry blossoms. The sleeves, of gauze, are short,
and a large lace fichu is thrown over the shoulders. In the right
hand is the traditional book, which in this instance consists of a copy
of Paradise Lost, published in 1812.

Search for a dress of Mrs. James Monroe having proved fruitless,
a gown of the period imported from France in 1824 for the first
bride of the White House, Maria Hester Monroe, the youngest
daughter of the President, has been substituted. This dress, fash-
ioned in Empire style, is of pale blue silk, is made with the Watteau
pleated back, and the basque, which laces in front, has a decidedly
long-waisted effect. The sleeves, which are short, are of blue tulle
and blue and yellow ribbon knots. The skirt is in two wide flounces
and, together with the waist, is embroidered and scalloped with
straw in a conventionalized bearded-grain pattern. But 16 years
of age when married to Samuel Laurence Gouverneur, the bride
holds in one hand a lace handkerchief and silver vinaigrette. She is
standing by the side of a chair and table, brought from France in
1796 by James Monroe, on the latter of which is an old-fashioned
mirror made from a fragment of larger glass, a relic of the burning
of the White House in 1814, a superb ivory and silver fan, a silver
pitcher and creamer, and a small cup decorated with an eagle
surrounded by 13 stars, which is supposed to be the only piece of
Monroe china now in existence.

Lacking material for the administration of John Quincy Adams,
the three which succeeded his are represented as follows: Andrew
Jackson by Mrs. Jackson’s niece, Mrs. Andrew Jackson Donelson,
who presided over the White House during his term of office, and
whose costume consists of a bodice of old gold flowered brocade and

28 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

an overskirt of blonde lace over a yellow satin skirt. Martin Van
Buren by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Angelica Van Buren,
wife of Abraham Van Buren, in a striking, almost regal, rich dark-
blue velvet train dress, and wearing also a lace fichu. In her right
hand is a handkerchief embroidered with her maiden name, “S. A.
Singleton,” and in her left hand she holds a fan bearing her mono-
gram, “A. V. B.” William Henry Harrison, during his very short
term, by Mrs. Jane Irwin Findlay, wife of Gen. James Findlay and
aunt of Mrs. Harrison, in a simple low-necked dress of a dark mole-
colored velvet, with the very long and large puff sleeves of the period
of 1841.

The first presidential bride, Mrs. Julia Gardiner Tyler, wife of
John Tyler, is gowned in a dainty creation of cream-colored gauze,
first worn at her presentation at the Court of Louis Philippe. The
skirt is very full and in three flounces, each of which has three rows
of silver tinsel and two of embroidery, the latter being of bright
flowers presenting all the colors of the rainbow. At the waist line
there is a belt of the same material. The sleeves are short and the
neck is V-shape, leaving the throat exposed. Over the shoulders is a
lace shawl. Mrs. James K. Polk is presented in a magnificent gown
made by Worth for the Polk inaugural ball, a beautiful azure-tinted
brocaded satin, into the fabric of which the Christmas flower, the
Poinsettia, is woven in silver-grayish tints. It has a full straight
skirt with front panel of plain satin of the same shade and tight
pointed bodice, low neck, and full puffed quarter sleeves. The bodice
and sleeves and the skirt are trimmed with blonde lace, and six
large bows of ribbon also adorn the front of the latter.

Another bride of the series is Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston, niece
of President Buchanan and mistress of the White House during his
administration. The figure is clad in the gown worn by Miss Lane
at her wedding to Henry Elliot Johnston, a superb ivory moire
antique silk, made with flowing skirt, the wedding veil being thrown
gracefully over the shoulders. The skirt has the voluminous pro-
portions of the period when hoops were worn, and the hem is tabbed.
The bodice, which is laced in the back, has a straight low neck and
very short sleeves. It is trimmed with lace and a folded band of
white satin passes through loops entirely around the upper part.
This figure has a particular interest to the Museum, as it was through
the generous bequest of Mrs. Johnston that the National Gallery of
Art secured the nucleus which has led to its active growth.

It was said by a contemporary writer that during the period of
the Grant administration the dresses seen were magnificent beyond
precedent. The dress by which Mrs. Ulysses 8. Grant is represented
would seem to confirm this opinion. It is a heavy rich silver brocade,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 29

the material of which was made in China. The skirt is cut straight
and slightly pleated. The waist, which is quite low in the neck, has
very short sleeves and a postilion back. <A point lace cape covers the
shoulders. The dress of Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes is the one in
which she appears in the portrait by Daniel Huntington now in the
White House, and was first worn at one of her public receptions.
It is of garnet velvet. The bodice has silk panels, a postilion back,
tight sleeves, and lace collar and cuffs. Passementerie and brocade
panels hang on either hip, and the train is of silk trimmed with
strips of velvet. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison is shown in a rich gown,
a combination of yellow satin and magenta brocade, with a sweeping
train. The bodice has a V-shape neck and elbow sleeves. The side
front of the gown is a panel of yellow satin, embroidered with gold
passementerie. A gold cord edges the bodice and falls down in
front terminating in tassels.

The dress of Mrs. William McKinley is of cream satin, with a
long, full train. The high-necked waist is decorated with pearl pas-
sementerie, and the sleeves are of the mousquetaire style. The front
panel of the skirt is embroidered in pearls and brilliants, and bor-
dered on each side by deep d’Alencon lace, the hem being slashed
into lappets edged with tulle. The high laced boots are of the same
material and are embroidered to match. This costume was worn by
Mrs. McKinley at the inaugural ball of March 4, 1901. The most
recent of the costumes is the inaugural gown of Mrs. William H.
Taft, a splendid creation of chiffon, embroidered in white. floss,
rhinestones, and silver crystal beads. It is low cut, with short
sleeves, and has a very long, full train.

For dresses other than those in the White House series, four of
the alcove and three of the single lay figure cases are now being used.
Earliest in date of the apparel here displayed is a quaint colonial
gown which belonged to Mrs. Cornelius Wyncoop as early as 1760.
Following is a dress worn by the wife of Capt. Miles King, of the
Revolutionary Army and later mayor of Norfolk, at a ball given to
Lafayette, at Norfolk, Va., and another beautiful silk brocade of
the same period. Especially notable is a golden-yellow robe made
about 1784 for Mrs. Eliza Lucas Pinckney, one of the most distin-
guished of South Carolina women, the wife of Colonial Chief Justice
Charles Pinckney and the mother of Gen. Thomas Pinckney. It
was she who introduced indigo culture into the State, and the
material of this dress was the product of her own plantation, as she
raised the silkworms and the silk was spun by her maids. The
weaving of the beautiful brocade was, however, done in England,
and there was enough material for three dresses, two of which were
presented to notable personages of the mother country.

30 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

' Next is the dress worn by Mrs. Richard Rush when presented at
the Court of George III in 1817. It was her husband, then minister
to Great Britain, who went to London in 1836 as special commis-
sioner on behalf of the bequest of Smithson, which he brought back
with him in gold sovereigns, and later he became a regent of the
Smithsonian Institution. There is also another costume of the Rush
family worn in 1817 and a mantilla of 1840. Among other gowns
belonging to the last and the beginning of the present century are
the wedding dress of the wife of Rear Admiral D. D. Porter, 1839;
a dress of Miss Mary Catharine Bruyn, 1835-1840; the dress worn by
Miss Helen Hovey at the ball given in Boston in 1860 to the Prince
of Wales, with whom she danced; five beautiful gowns belonging
to three generations of the Bailey-Myers-Mason family; a superb
gown, a replica of one belonging to the Empress Josephine, worn by
Mrs. Levi Z. Leiter at the Indian Durbar of 1903; two dresses of
Mrs. Levi P. Morton and one of Mrs. John Hay; the dress worn by
Mrs. Charles Warren Fairbanks, wife of the Vice President, at the
inaugural ball on March 4, 1905; a coat and gown of cloth of gold
which had belonged to Mrs. John R. McLean; two gowns of Mrs.
George Dewey, one her wedding dress; a dress of Mrs. Henry Y.
Satterlee, widow of Bishop Satterlee; and two costumes of the
famous actress Charlotte Cushman, worn by her in her impersona-
tion of Cardinal Wolsey and Catharine in Henry VIII.

In four of the single lay figure cases is displayed the attire of as
many distinguished American men. One contains the uniform worn
by Gen. Washington when, at Annapolis, Md., on December 23, 1788,
he surrendered his commission as commander in chief of the Con-
tinental Army, and also one of his dress suits. In another is the
stately coat worn by Gen. Thomas Pinckney, of South Carolina,
when minister to the Court of St. James. In the third is the court
dress of James Monroe worn during his second mission to France in
1803, together with a large number of other Monroe relics, including
badges and ribbons of the French Revolution, two waistcoats, shoe
and belt buckles, a medal, a spur, rapier, umbrella, razors and strop,
and several letters, one of which announces his marriage. In the
last is the uniform coat worn by Gen. Andrew Jackson at the battle
of New Orleans, January 8, 1815, and his pistols and case.

Charming and dainty in their materials, their needlework, and their
decoration are many baby dresses of the styles of 1800, 1817, 1825,
1849, 1852, and 1859, displayed in a special case, among them being
some rather elaborate christening robes and caps, as well as other
articles of infant apparel.

Filling three of the alcove cases is a valuable collection of Cash-
mere and embroidered China silk or India shawls, including a num-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. on

ber of exceedingly choice examples. While partly composed of
loans, the majority of the specimens are the property of the Museum,
the entire contents of one of the cases having, in fact, been received
by the Government in 1841 as a gift from the Imam of Muscat,
Arabia, together with many other beautiful and costly presents. A
fine Cashmere shawl which belonged to Mrs. John E. McElroy,
sister of President Arthur, is exhibited in the Hayes case.

The remainder of the costume collection fills the six American
cases and the sloping part of the long wall case below the windows
with a very great variety of articles, in some respects no less inter-
esting than those already reviewed. It comprises parts of costumes,
accessories of apparel, and the myriad objects associated with the
daily life of woman. These are mostly heirlooms, treasured for their
associations, for their beauty and daintiness, or for their costly and
exquisite craftsmanship. The arrangement, though mainly by fam-
ily grouping, is artistic and tasteful, and the general effect is of ele-
gance and refinement. Summarizing briefly, we find many lace and
other articles pertaining to dress, including a beautiful piece of pifia
work; handkerchiefs of lace and fine linen; gloves and mitts, with
their embroidered containers; calashes and bonnets; hairpins and
superb tortoise-shell combs; fans of exquisite make and embellish-
ment; ornamented housewives and workbags, with sewing and knit-
ting materials; pincushions, aprons, slippers, buckles, and toilet arti-
cles; numerous small and dainty ornaments of the boudoir; calling
card and snuff boxes, opera glasses, lorgnettes, umbrellas, parasols,
etc. Most resplendent is the display of jewelry, from antique to mod-
ern make, of endless variety, and including much of exceptional rich-
ness in material and workmanship. In one of the American cases
are dainty lots of exquisite needlework and other family relics, show-
ing the great taste with which our ancestors provided articles for
their personal use. In the long wall case is contained a collection of
colonial costumes illustrating the type of clothing worn by men on
ordinary and dress occasions from 1700 to 1800, formerly the prop-
erty of the Smith family of the Colony of Maryland; relics of colo-
nial and early nineteenth century times in Philadelphia; dresses and
jewelry of an early period from Kingston, N. Y.; and laces and lace
costumes, fans, China and India shawls, jewelry, etc., from several
sources.

Installed in the upright part of the western wall case and in three
adjacent alcove cases is the historical collection of American china,
assembled by the late Rear Admiral F. W. Dickins, United States
Navy, and deposited by Mrs. Dickins, which was fully described in a
previous report. It is especially notable for its relation to important
periods and for the number of White House pieces which it contains.

oe REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

Although not a part of the costume collection, it supplements it in a
commendable way and adds to the attractiveness of the room.

COINS, MEDALS AND POSTAL TOKENS.

The northwest court is assigned to these subjects and also to the
assemblage of musical instruments, the latter displayed in the wall
cases, on the tops of which a large number of plaster busts of histori-
cal personages have been arranged. From the entrance, which is on
the west side, a broad passage leads eastward threugh the court, and
is flanked in the middle by two large upright cases for the stamp col-
lection. The remainder of the floor space, partly abutting on the
passageway, is occupied by table cases of several patterns, in which
the coins and medals are installed.

Coins and medals.—The coins and medals, aggregating over 6,000
specimens, exclusive of the many and varied examples of the latter
in the memorial section and those in the reserve series, were installed
during the year. They had previously been in storage, accessible only
to students, and their preparation for this purpose involved consider-
able labor, since it was necessary to reclassify the entire collection,
clean each individual piece, and select the best of them for exhibi-
tion. It was also required to fully describe the specimens in the card
catalogue, which had not previously been practicable, and to prepare
copy for the labels. Although the series is far from complete for any
country, each nation is sufficiently well represented to indicate, in a
general way at least, its numismatic history, and it is hoped that this
public display will lead to the filling of many of the gaps. While no
very rare pieces are to be found among the coins, the importance of
this part of the collection resting upon its extent and comprehensive-
ness, the collection of historical medals is one of the best available to
the public in this country, being probably surpassed only by those of
the United States Mint at Philadelphia and the American Numis-
matic Society of New York. The exhibit is supplemented by 102 fine
examples of small plaster bas-relief reproductions of ancient and
modern works of art.

The installation occupies 27 flat-top cases, of which 8 are devoted
to the United States and its possessions, 11 to European countries,
and 8 to Asia and Africa. The series of United States coins begins
with a number of originals and copies, showing the type of currency
used in America during the colonial period. Massachusetts, the first
Colony to strike its own coins, is represented by the two silver pieces
known, respectively, as the “ New England shilling” and the “ Pine-
tree shilling,” both issued as early as 1652. Among other colonial
tokens are the Maryland pennies of 1660 and several pieces of the
Rosa Americana series made in England for colonial circulation dur-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 33

ing the early part of the eighteenth century. Of the copper pieces
of various designs issued by the individual States, and there passed
as cents immediately after the Revolution, there are examples from
Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Especially noteworthy
is a copy of what is supposed to have been a pattern dollar struck
in 1776, which bears on the obverse the inscription “ Continental cur-
rency, 1776,” and on the reverse the names of the thirteen Colonies on
intertwined rings encircling the words “American Congress,” “ We
are one.” Many of the copper coins or tokens of this period have
the head of Washington, with inscriptions relating to his career, and
of this type the collection contains interesting examples. The colo-
nial and Revolutionary series are followed by a nearly complete
collection of copper and bronze pieces issued by the United States
since the establishment of the mint in 1792, different kinds of the
half-cent, cent, and 2-cent issues being shown. Among the nonofli-
cial coins is displayed a fine series of the so-called “hard times
tokens,” which circulated largely during the Presidencies of Andrew
Jackson and Martin Van Buren, 1833-1841. In the matter of silver
and gold coins the exhibition is somewhat disappointing, but it con-
tains one very rare specimen—the famous “ Stella” or $4 gold pat-
tern piece of 1879. Terminating the United States series is a set of
the somewhat crudely designed Hawaiian currency of 1883, consist-
ing of four pieces—dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar—and an-
other of the far more artistic silver, nickel and bronze coins issued
for use in the Philippine Islands, comprising the half-centavo, cen-
tavo,.5-centavo, 10-centavo, 20-centavo, half-peso and peso pieces.
The classification of the United States medals is under 12 heads,
namely, (1) struck prior to the Revolution; (2) struck during the
Revolution or shortly thereafter; (8) commemorating events of the
Revolution but struck subsequently; (4) commemorating events dur-
ing the quasi war with France and the War with Tripoli; (5) com-
memorating events during the War with Mexico, the Civil War and
the Spanish-American War; (6) commemorating the various presi-
dential administrations and for presentation to Indian chiefs in token
of peace and friendship; (7) commemorating the services of indi-
viduals; (8) awarded by the Government in recognition of services
in saving life; (9) issued by, or awarded to, well-known societies and
institutions; (10) commemorating notable events from 1800 to 1900;
(11) commemorating centennial and other celebrations; and (12)
commemorating expositions and fairs. In each of these classes the
arrangement is chronological except those relating to personal
services, where it is alphabetical by the names of the recipients. The
collection consists largely of bronze copies of gold medals which have

been presented to individuals for special services, and, representing
many phases of United States history, it offers an excellent field for
study.

The foreign coins and medals have been installed in geographical,
alphabetical and chronological arrangement, the geographical being
by continents in the following order, namely, Europe, Africa, Asia;
and the alphabetical by countries in each of the continents, the
colonies of each country, wherever situated, being associated with it.

The European collection begins with Austria, followed by Belgium,
of which there are a number of interesting pieces relating to the
stirring events of the Revolution of 1830. After Denmark comes the
British Empire with an especially large representation. The coins
of the Empire, including its possessions, fill a case, and succeeding
them is an important series of English historical medals ranging
from the sixteenth century to the present day. Especially note-
worthy are the portrait medals of the sixteenth century and a hand-
some set of medals issued during the nineteenth century commemorat-
ing notable events in the history of the city of London. The coinage of
France is poorly illustrated, but this is more than atoned for by the
splendid series of French historical medals, the bulk of which belong
to the Henry Adams and George Brown Goode collections, which
compose, in fact, the greater portion of the foreign medal representa-
tion in the Museum, the former aggregating nearly 1,000 and the latter
about 500 specimens. This series commences with comparatively re-
cent issues commemorating the reigns of the French sovereigns from
Pharamond, 420-428, to Napoleon ITI, 1851-1871, and is followed by
miscellaneous medals relating to events from the reign of Louis XII,
1498-1515, to that of Louis XITT, 1610-1643. There is a nearly com-
plete set of the medals struck during the reigns of Louis XIV,
1643-1715, and Louis XV, 1715-1774; and the thrilling period of the
French Revolution from 1789 to 1799 is well represented by designs
striking in character and import. The French medallic art of the
early part of the nineteenth century is illustrated by a number of
examples of fine medals struck during the reigns of Louis XVIII,
Charles X, and Louis Philippe. Following these is a large number
af portrait medals commemorating the careers of noted men of
French history, statesmen, authors, and others.

Of Germany there is also an excellent presentation, beginning
with the coins of the various independent States and continuing
with those of the Empire founded in 1871, the arrangement of the
medals being the same. Especially noteworthy is the series of com-
memorative coins issued by the sovereigns of Bavaria during the
early part of the nineteenth century. The independent States
and the Kingdom of Italy are similarly illustrated, and in connec-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 35

tion with them is displayed a very large and fine set of papal medals,
dating from 1192 to 1910. The coinage of the Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Roumania and Russia follows, and of the coins
and medals of Spain there is an exceptionally interesting series, in-
cluding a large number of pieces struck for circulation in the Span-
ish-American countries. The European collection ends with some
excellent examples of early and recent coins and medals of Sweden
and Switzerland. Its greatest desideratum is of ancient Greek and
Roman coins.

The Asiatic and African countries whose coinage is shown are
China, Japan, Persia, Siam, Abyssinia, Algeria, Liberia, Morocco
and Turkey. The Chinese representation is the largest, numbering
over 2,000 pieces and covering the period from about 700 years B. C.
to the present time. The bulk of this collection was a bequest from
the late George B. Glover, and many modern copper pieces have
been added by Mr. N. Gist Gee, of Soochow University, China. The
Japanese series is also important; beginning with the sixteenth cen-
tury, it is brought down to the latter part of the nineteenth century.

Postal tokens—At the beginning of 1908 the subject of postage
stamps was illustrated in the Museum by only a small miscellaneous
collection of domestic and foreign issues numbering about 2,500
pieces, and it is interesting to note that the principal contributor had
been Mrs. Spencer IF’. Baird. In the year named, however, through
the munificence of Mr. David Cromwell, of New York, the Museum
received an exceptionally fine series of about 20,000 specimens repre-
senting the United States and nearly all foreign countries. These
stamps were almost without exception well preserved, uncanceled
copies, which had been assembled by the collector with much care
and at great pains, and were therefore especially suitable for public
exhibition. Though lacking in many important particulars, this
collection was installed as a unit in a series of cases designed for the
display of manuscripts but well adapted to this purpose, which are
located in the smaller hall of history, as already explained.

In 1912 the Museum obtained by transfer the more essential parts
of the large exhibition of the Post Office Department, comprising as
its most valuable and important feature the stamps, stamped enve-
lopes, and postal cards of all the nations of the world, to the number
of nearly 200,000, and since then there has been a constant accretion
from the same source. The original collection consisted primarily
of a large cabinet with sliding frames, in which the main series of
stamps had been installed, including those printed for the United
States by private firms from 1847, the date of the first Government
issue, until 1894, when the work was taken up by the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and the subsequent issues from this bureau;

36 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

the foreign stamps received through the International Bureau of the
Universal Postal Union at Berne, Switzerland, and a number of
early United States stamps specially purchased. Nearly all of these
series, however, were incomplete. The remainder of the collection
was composed of sheets of stamps, envelopes, and postal cards
mounted on swinging screens for various American expositions;
many separate sheets of stamps and individual specimens; and
several albums of stamps and of die proofs of United States stamps.

The preliminary work of putting this collection in shape, consisting
in the systematic arrangement of the material by countries and dates
of issue, having been completed in the early part of last year, the
problem of preparing an appropriate exhibition was then taken up.
It was decided to limit the display in the beginning almost exclu-
sively to stamps, and, drawing first upon the resources of the collec-
tion from the Post Office Department, to leave spaces during the
mounting for the desiderata which would be supphed as oppor-
tunities offered.

There have been many methods of exhibiting postage stamps, but
it is believed that the scheme here adopted is an improvement over any
other, especially in the matter of details. The principle is the same
as that followed by the British Museum and is exemplified in the
former cabinet of the Post Office Department, namely, a series of
vertical sliding frames in which the specimens are mounted. The
cabinet that has been built and in which the installation is in progress,
though already made accessible to the public, may be briefly described
as follows: There are two cases, each 16 feet 2 inches long, 6 feet 7
inches high, and 2 feet 83 inches deep, constructed each in two sec-
tions for convenience in moving. They are made of mahogany with
simple trimmings on the outside, but of white pine in the interior ex-
cept as otherwise stated, and are placed facing each other on either
side of the main passageway in the northwest court. The lower part
of the cases is arranged for storage and provided with doors. The
upper part, measuring 3 feet 24 inches from a counter shelf to the top
of the cornice, contains the sliding frames, of which there are 148 in
each case, or 296 in all, a number that may of course be at any time
increased by adding to the case length.

The individual frames, made of cherry, measure 31} inches high
by 293 inches deep on the outside, and 27% by 212 inches in the open-
ing. The thickness of the frames is 1;% inches, and when fully
drawn out they are exposed to a depth of 233 inches, with an exten-
sion into the case of 64 inches, which provides the necessary leverage.
Both sides are used and are glazed with English negative glass. The
frames slide on cherry strips and the upper and lower rails of the
former are grooved to within an inch of the front. In the lower
groove are mortised four brass trunk rollers projecting one-eighth

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. a

inch to raise the frame above the strips, but the upper groove con-
tains only one such roller, placed about 1 inch from the back of the
frame to prevent friction as the frame is started. On the front edge
of each frame is a bronze-finished bar drawer pull, a label holder,
and a numbered disk. The frames are doubly secured in the case
by a hinged cornice at the top and a wooden flap at the bottom,
which are fastened by locks at the ends. They are released for in-
spection by unlocking the flap, being stopped at the proper place by
a square strip of wood attached at the top, and may be wholly re-
moved by also throwing the cornice back on top of the case. Still
other attachments give greater refinement to the mechanism of the
case in several ways.

Summarizing the principal merits of these cases, especially with
reference to their use by the public, it may be said that the frames
run so smoothly that they are instinctively pushed back into place,
which is an important matter as operating against an unlimited ex-
posure of the stamps and their consequent more rapid fading; while,
furthermore, the frames are all in a single row and center at a height
of about 4 feet 10 inches above the floor, which places each mounting
easily within the range of vision of the ordinary standing visitor.

The stamps are mounted on quadrillé paper, which is supple-
mented in each face of the frames with a mat having four quad-
rangular openings, the stamps being appropriately grouped for this
arrangement, which greatly adds to the appearance of the installa-
tion. Between the two mountings is a sheet of one-fourth inch com-
pressed filler board. The labeling of the individual stamps has gone
forward with their mounting and is done directly on the quadrillé
sheets by means of a typewriter having gothic type. The results
are very satisfactory in effect and much more durable than by at-
taching the many thousands of separate printed labels that would
otherwise have been required. There remain to be added the general
printed labels, one on each frame face giving the name of the country
represented, and one on the front edge of each frame indicating the
scheme of arrangement.

The installation of the collection, instead of according with the
usual stereotyped alphabetical arrangement throughout, agrees prac-
tically with that of the coins and medals, and therefore begins with
the United States, followed by the foreign nations in alphabetical
order, the stamps of the colonies being grouped together geographi-
cally under each respective mother country. It is ultimately pro-
posed to add an alphabetical and numbered list of all the countries
and colonies represented, by means of which any particular set of
stamps may be quickly located in the cases.

The total capacity of the 296 frames in the present cabinet is about
75,000 stamps. Approximately 20,000 had been mounted by the close

38 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914,

of the year, and labels had been prepared for about 30,000 more. As
regards the material on hand the work had been somewhat more than
half completed, and the alphabetical arrangement of the stamps by
countries had progressed to the letter N. Spaces have been reserved
for all of the primary varieties lacking, which it is expected to pro-
cure from time to time. The collection is, therefore, by no means a
complete unit, but to be considered as the nucleus of a greater and
more perfect representation of the stamps of the world to be gradu-
ally rounded out. As at present constituted it is most important on
account of its size and wide representation, as well as for the period
covered, commencing about the middle of the nineteenth century. It
lacks especially the rare specimens of collectors and common varieties
of certain periods, particularly of foreign issues. In general the
mounting is of single stamps of each issue, but when necessary to
serve a particular purpose they may be mounted in pairs, strips,
blocks, or sheets. A selected series of the stamped envelopes of the
United States follows the stamps of that country, but otherwise no
provision has yet been made for the exhibition of postal cards and
envelopes. In addition to the exhibition series which is expected to
be the most complete, a reserve series will also be maintained for the
use of special students of the subject.

The collection of United States stamps from the Post Office De-
partment is an especially valuable one, all of the regular Government
issues during the nineteenth century being represented as to types ex-
cept the 1, 5, and 12-cent stamps of August, 1861, the other desiderata
consisting in the lack of a number of scarce shades and special print-
ings. The issues of the present century for the United States, the
Philippine Islands, and the Canal Zone lack only a few shades which
are not rare and can readily be secured. The yvepresentation of
foreign stamps, however, is far less complete, and includes not a
single one of the many great rarities of the nineteenth century.
Though numerous gaps occur in the series of the twentieth century,
they can mostly be filled without trouble and through the medium
of exchange.

In the United States series, the installation of which has been
completed, occur the following rare stamps, mainly unused copies
and all in fine condition, namely, the 1-cent (type 1), 5-cent in dark
brown and red brown and 24-cent of the issue of 1851; the 5-cent
(type 1), in brick red and red brown, of the issue of 1857; the 3-cent
rose, 3-cent carmine, 10 and 24-cent, and the 90-cent imperforate of
the issue of August, 1861; the 3-cent scarlet, 5-cent buff, 5-cent olive
buff, and 24-cent steel blue of the issue of 1862-1866; the 15 and 30-
cent of the issue of 1869, with inverted medallions, the latter being
one of the three great rarities in the issues of this Government; and
a 12-cent, grilled, of the issue of 1870. The set of reprints of vari-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 39

ous issues made by the Government in 1875 for the Centennial Ex-
hibition of 1876 is complete, with the exception of the 1, 3, 6, and 12-
cent of 1871 and the 2 and 5-cent of 1875. The collection also con-
tains the 2, 7, 12, and 24-cent stamps, special printing of 1880; the
2 and 4-cent, special printing of 1883; the complete issue of 1890,
1 to 90 cents, in imperforate blocks of four; a complete sheet of the
2-cent Columbian issue, 1893, imperforate, signed and attested by
J. Macdonough, president of the American Bank Note Co., and A. D.
Hazen, Third Assistant Postmaster General, as the first Columbian
stamps printed; the 6 and 8-cent stamps of the issue of 1895 printed
in error on revenue paper; the 1, 2, and 4-cent inverted medallions
of the issue of 1901, the 2-cent being the greatest rarity in the United
States series of this century; a complete set, 1 to 15 cents, of the
issue of 1908 on bluish rag paper; a complete set of the postage due,
special printing of 1880, except the 1-cent denomination; a complete
set of the issue of 1893, special printing, imperforate blocks of four;
a copy of the $5 stamp of the State Department; a set of newspaper
stamps, 2 to 96 cents, special printing of 1875; a complete set, 1 to
60 cents, in imperforate blocks of four, of the special printing of
1893; and a complete set of the issue of 1894, bureau printing of
the American Bank Note design, 1 cent to $6.

The Museum has been fortunate in securing for the classification
and installation of its stamp collection the services of the experi-
enced philatelist, Mr. Joseph D. Leavy, to whom credit is due for
its present excellent condition.

MECHANICAL TECHNOLOGY.

In 1885 a section of steam transportation was established as a
branch of the department of arts and industries. The title was soon
changed to “transportation” and subsequently to “transportation
and engineering,” the aim of the section being, it was stated, to pre-
sent an object lesson illustrating the history of devices to promote
travel and commerce and to convey intelligence. As early as 1888,
appliances, such as the stationary engine, etc., for generating power
for manufacturing and for producing heat and light had also been
included, and other subjects were soon added, comprising naval archi-
tecture, previously organized as a separate section, airships, bicycles,
automobiles, electrical devices for all purposes, measuring devices,
small firearms, and various other inventions.

In 1895 the title became “technological collections,” and the cu-
rator was also placed in charge of the collections belonging to certain
other sections which had recently become disorganized through the
lack of space and of means for their maintenance. Among these
were textiles, foods, and animal products, with which, for obvious

40 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

reasons, nothing could be done at that time, and it is only recently
that these subjects have been revived in accordance with the original
plan, as explained elsewhere on these pages. On the reorganization
of the Museum classification in 1897 this branch was made a division
entitled “technology (mechanical phases),” which was altered to
“technology ” in 1904 and to “ mechanical technology ” in 1912.
While the collections in this division had become extensive and
diversified previous to 1900 and included most of the bulky ob-
jects now exhibited, their growth during the comparatively few
years of this century has been unusually rapid, and the acqni-
sitions comprise large series of exceptionally important objects.
The restrictions as to space, however, prevent the seeking or accept-
ance of nearly as much additional material as is required to elucidate
the several subjects here combined in a wholly satisfactory manner.
The primary purpose of the division is to illustrate the history of
the beginnings and development of certain of the arts and indus-
tries, hereafter referred to, by the display of extensive series of origi-
nal specimens and models. Each series, where the material is avail-
able, begins with the most primitive devices employed and ascends
by successive steps to the most perfect modern appliances. As new
advances are made and higher types of mechanism are devised and
brought into use, additions accrue to the collections and take their
places in the ever-expanding historical presentation. Aside from the
extended exhibits illustrative of the several more important sub-
jects, the collections contain numerous somewhat isolated examples
of exceptional interest to the student of material progress. America
may well be proud of the record here made of the achievements of
her citizens. Within the period almost of a lifetime the industrial
processes of the world have been revolutionized by the steam engine
and the dynamo; the telegraph, telephone, and aeroplane; and the
names associated with these epoch-making inventions are already,
without the intervention of learned academies, inscribed with the
immortals. At the present time the collections occupy four halls and
portions of two others. They may be briefly described as follows:
The east hall is richest in these exhibits. Here are assembled large
series of the original machines, instruments, devices, and apparatus,
with models of others in great numbers, relating to the use of steam
and electricity as motive powers and their application in the arts
and industries, besides many other groups of objects of first impor-
tance in the various fields of technological activity. It is difficult to
say which of these numerous series is of greatest interest, and the
visitor turns from one to another fairly dazed by the diversity and
intricacy of the mechanisms and by contemplation of the mys-
terious and powerful agencies invoked and controlled by their use.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. aa:

Exhibits illustrating steam railway transportation and other uses
of steam power occupy the northeast section of this hall. In promi-
nent positions on the floor are two full-sized locomotives of the
earliest types—the “John Bull,” which is the oldest complete loco-
motive in America, built in England in 1831 and run on the Camden
& Amboy Railroad from 1831 to 1868, and the “ Stourbridge Lion,”
built in England in 1838. In the adjoining wall case are various
railway appliances and a large number of models of engines and
coaches, extending back to the first inception of the employment of
steam as a motor power, many of the engines and coaches being of
quaint design and the latter showing a gradual departure from the
stage coach which had served as a pattern. Here also are displayed
restorations of Hero’s rotary steam engine of 150 B. C.; the Newton
locomotive of 1680, which was propelled by a jet of steam projected
backward against the air; Nordelle’s engine of 1784, designed to
test the action of high-pressure steam in propelling vehicles; Tre-
vithick’s locomotive of 1804; and many others connecting with the
ereat traction engines of recent years. In the same section appear
models of engines designed to utilize compressed air and gas, and
others illustrating the carrying arts, showing man and beast as
burden bearers, and the strange vehicles of all times and peoples.

Most noteworthy in the northern part of the hall is the large and
unique exhibition of telephone devices, including both originals
and models, the former in many instances contributed by the in-
ventors, the latter to a great extent received from the United States
Patent Office. Six upright cases contain an extensive collection of
original apparatus illustrating the development of the speaking
telephone invented by Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, and first put
into operation in 1875, when its practicability was fully demon-
strated. The earlier instruments were publicly shown at the Cen-
tennial Exhibition, in Philadelphia, on June 25, 1876, when they
were tested by Lord Kelvin, Emperor Dom Pedro, of Brazil, and
other distinguished persons. It was on that occasion that Lord
Kelvin, after listening to the insignificant-looking toy, exclaimed,
“My God! it does speak.” Examples of the centennial telephones
and several large series of later ones, including various types of
magneto and battery telephones, with many pieces of apparatus
used by Dr. Bell in his researches, are included in the installation,
as are also a set of hand telephones, fitted with ivory cases, made in
1878 for exhibition to Queen Victoria, and the first desk telephone
set, constructed in 1877, consisting of two wooden hand telephones
attached to a wooden base, which is fitted with suitable connecting
screws and flexible cords. Other apparatus devised by Dr. Bell
for various purposes are placed next to the telephone exhibits. They

42 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

consist of his photophone, induction balance apparatus, multiple
telegraph apparatus, etc.

Near by is the experimental telephone apparatus made and used
by Mr. Emile Berliner, whose invention of the battery transmitter
antedated that of Thomas A. Edison, and also various telephone de-
vices demonstrating the work of Edison, Elisha Gray, and others.
Of much historical interest is the make-and-break telephone, which
transmitted sounds but not articulate speech, devised by Philip Reis,
of Frankfort, Germany, in 1860.

At the western end of the hall are the exhibits illustrating the re-
cording and reproducing of sound. The phonautograph, devised by
Leon Scott in 1857, occupies a special case at the entrance. It was
made by Rudolph Koenig, of Paris, and obtained for the Smith-
sonian Institution by Prof. Joseph Henry in 1866. In this instru-
ment the record of speech is traced on a carbon-coated cylinder by a
light stylus attached to a thin membrane, which is set in vibration by
the sound of the voice. The cylinder is rotated by hand. The record
made by this process can not be reproduced, but was employed for
studying sound waves. This machine is the first in which the vibrat-
ing diaphragm and recording stylus were used, and these devices
form one of the principal features of the talking machines of later
invention.

Following the phonautograph is the Edison phonograph, the first
talking machine operated. It was brought out in 1878, and in the
same year was exhibited before President Hayes at the White House
and before the National Academy of Sciences at the Smithsonian In-
stitution. In this instrument the sound record is embossed on a sheet
of tin foil, wrapped around a cylinder, by a metal stylus attached to
a vibrating diaphragm. The spoken words are reproduced by revolv-
ing the cylinder while the stylus travels over the impressions, and
this can be repeated many times. Closely associated are later devel-
opments of the phonograph, represented in a series of Edison instru-
ments in which the records are made on wax cylinders by a steel
stylus, and by inventions of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell and Mr.
Sumner Tainter, by which the record on the wax cylinder is carved
out by a stylus terminating in a cutting point.

Another group of important original apparatus illustrates the
talking machine called the gramophone, devised by Mr. Emile Ber-
liner, first introduced in 1887, and publicly demonstrated the follow-
ing year before the Franklin Institute, in Philadelphia. In the
gramophone the sound vibrations are recorded in a delicate film of
wax or fatty substance spread on the surface of a flat zine disk, and
by means of chromic acid the lines traced by the stylus are etched in
the zinc to an even depth. From this record is then made a reverse
electrotype matrix which serves for the production of a large num-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 43

ber of copies of the record in the form of India-rubber plates. The
Franklin Institute machine, a collection of Mr. Berliner’s early ex-
perimental apparatus, and specimens showing the various steps in the
manufacture of the records form part of the exhibit. The gramo-
phone was the forerunner of the Victor talking machines, good exam-
ples of which, as also many of the latest Edison machines, are like-
wise displayed.

The Moses G. Farmer series of electrical apparatus, consisting
largely of models from the United States Patent Office, is of much
interest to the student of this subject. The earliest specimen, 1850,
is the model of an electrical plant with wind vanes designed to use
wind power in charging electric batteries for the operation of
incandescent electric lights. There are also scores of other devices
devoted to various purposes, extending down to 1882. In another
case in this section are several original telegraph machines, includ-
ing a duplex telegraphic apparatus and an electromagnetic fire-alarm
device of 1859.

In a wall case at the northwest corner of the hall is an exhibit of
electrical lighting apparatus, representing many inventions and
showing the wide interest taken in this branch. Among the names
associated with the collection are Charles F. Brush; Hiram S.
Maxim; Elihu Thomson; Matthias Day; William Wallace; Barton
B. Ward; Henry Wilde; Nathanial S. Keith; C. J. Van Depoele;
Edward Weston; E. J. Houston; N. E. Reynier; Samuel Gardiner,
jr.; Collier & Baker; A. P. Berlioz; Paul Jablochkoff; and L. R.
Longworth. On the upper shelf of this case are numerous models
of miscellaneous appliances, such as automatic grain weighers, steel-
yard balances, dredging machines, steam governors, pumping engines,
rotary machines, and automatic cut-off devices for steam engines.

Displayed in the southwest section are printing machines from the
time of the Franklin press to the marvelous Hoe power press of to-
day; typewriting machines, beginning with Thurber’s very simple
contrivance and extending over a period of 70 years to the present
time; astronomical instruments, microscopes, surveying and engi-
neering instruments and appliances, including theodolites, sextants,
compasses, zenith sectors, quadrants and barometers, and very spe-
cially a case devoted to a remarkable series of Japanese surveying
and measuring instruments; calculating machines of several types,
the Whitney and other cotton gins, turning lathes and wood-pulp
machines, besides electrical apparatus in overflow from other sec-
tions of the hall.

In the southeast section of the hall are installed the main part of
the important exhibits relating to the electric telegraph, including
the dynamos and other appliances. The electromagnetic telegraph
system, invented and put in operation by S. F. B. Morse, provided

44. REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

the first successful method of transmitting messages by electricity
for commercial purposes, and it is still universally employed through-
out the world. The beginning and development of the system is well
represented by many pieces of original apparatus, from the crudest
to the most perfect forms. Among these are the first recording ma-
chine, made by Mr. Morse with his own hands in 1837, and operated
in the same year; and a facsimile of the recording apparatus used
on the line built between Baltimore and Washington under the
auspices of the United States Government, and opened for business
on May 24, 1844. Arranged in historical order is a large series of
telegraph transmitting keys, relays, sounders, recording instruments,
specimens of line wire, insulators, batteries, and other material used
in the construction and operation of telegraph lines. Especially
noteworthy are a number of early pocket telegraph instruments for
the use of operators in establishing temporary connection with lines
in the Army and along public roads, and a small galvanometer made
by Henley, in London, presented by Mr. Morse to Mr. Henry A.
Reed, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and used by him for testing telegraph
lines in 1855. There are also several original communications re-
corded by the Morse instruments, one at a private exhibition given
in New: York City in 1838, and another transmitted from Baltimore
to Washington in 1844.

Among the models received from the Patent Office in 1908 are
representations of the telegraph devices of Ezra Cornell, 1845; Tal.
P. Shaffner, 1866; Royal E. House, 1852; D. E. Hughes, 1856; and
Charles Wheatstone, 1874. A similar series illustrates the develop-
ment of telegraph repeaters through the inventions of Charles S.
Bulkley, 1850; J. E. Smith, and Farmer and Woodman, 1857; J. J.
Clark, 1860; G. B. Hicks, 1862; W. H. Hamilton, 1865; J. H. Bunnell
and W. G. Brownson, 1868; Elisha Gray, 1871; L. T. Lindsey, 1873;
Charles E. Scribner, 1876; Rogers and Crane, 1880; and the Milliken
automatic repeater extensively used on telegraph lines in the United
States from 1862 to 1895. In the collection deposited by Dr. Alex-
ander Graham Bell is an important group of apparatus devised by
him in connection with his work on the telegraph which preceded
his invention of the telephone. It embraces many devices which
have been utilized in telegraphy. An interesting specimen, of which
no duplicate is known to exist, is the Bain telegraph recorder em-
ployed on telegraph lines in New England from about 1850 to 1866,
when it was superseded by the Morse system. By this machine the
dots and dashes of the Bain alphabet were marked on a circular sheet
of paper, moistened with a solution of potassium ferrocyanide, by the
chemical action of the electric current.

The south east range, of which only a part is now available, con-
tains a few examples relating to the history of the automobile as well

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 45

as a number of other objects. Here are shown the original Haynes
gasoline automobile of 1893, a Haynes six-cylinder automobile engine
of the present time, the Balzer gasoline automobile of 1894, the first
steam-steering apparatys used on a vessel, 1858, invented by Fred-
erick E. Sickles, and the Horton automatic basket-making machine,
1894.

The north east range is wholly occupied by a great collection of
originals and models illustrative of water transportation and naval
architecture. A large wall case along the west side of the range is
filled with models exemplifying the development of the water craft
of the United States from the simplest raft to the full-rigged ship,
among which the fishing vessels of New England are especially
prominent, while a smaller case on the east side contains a general
presentation of the water craft of the world. Centrally placed is a
special group of models representing the early American steamboats
of Fulton, Fitch, and Rumsey, the steamship Savannah, and other
equally interesting examples of steam-propelled boats or the essential
portions of them. Also in floor cases are arranged 10 models of ships
of the United States Navy, lent by the Navy Department, and else-
where installed is a splendid model of the cruiser Pittsburgh. Like-
wise exhibited in this range is the original metal life-saving car in-
vented by Joseph Francis in 1850. Among full-sized craft, suspended
from the ceiling, are good examples of Alaskan skin boats—umiaks
and kaiaks—birch-bark canoes, balsas, and dugouts from many parts
of the world. Especially notable is an immense canoe of the Haida
Indians of Queen Charlotte Island, the most imposing of the abor-
iginal American boats, which is carved from a single giant cedar
trunk and embellished with symbolic designs in color. It was pro-
pelled by a crew of from 20 to 30 oarsmen.

The northeast court is devoted exclusively to:the display of modern
arms and armor, the exhibit of small arms being regarded as the
most complete yet brought together in the United States. The col-
lection of projectile weapons is introduced by a few examples of
very primitive devices, the spear, the bow and arrow, the crossbow,
and the blowgun. These are followed by the firearms, beginning
with the earliest types—the matchlock, the flintlock, the percussion
cap, and the various muzzle-loading forms, and continuing on
through a wonderful series to the breech-loading, repeating, révolv-
ing mechanisms of to-day. The exhibition is greatly enriched by a
magnificent collection of small arms, American and foreign, de-
posited by the United States Cartridge Co., which is very compre-
hensive and rich in rare pieces. The representation of our national
arms is most complete, and we are able to trace their development
from the colonial or pioneer period, with its so-called Indian guns,
up through the Revolutionary period, the War of 1812, the Mexican

46 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

War, the Civil War, and the Spanish-American War, to the present
time. In this series the pistols and revolvers are also included, and
scarcely less interesting are the hunting, sporting, target, and tele-
scope weapons shown in separate cases. Among the hand weapons
displayed are the knife, dagger, saber, sword, battle-ax, foils, and
shields. The Gatling gun with a few other examples of larger ord-
nance and illustrations of military equipment are likewise contained
in the exhibition.

In the west hall will be found a few of the exhibits belonging to
this division, namely, the time-keeping collection, which consists of
hourglasses, sundials, time candles and lamps, a large series of
watches and watch movements, and clocks, including a water clock;
the Ramsden dividing machine and slides, 1775, for equally dividing
the circular scales of astronomical and surveying instruments; one
of the original Howe pin-making machines, in use from 1835 to 1875;
many models of various agricultural implements, and other minor
applances.

_ The subject of flying machines, which holds to-day a transcendent
place in public and scientific interest, is of particular moment to the
Museum, in view of the extended and profound studies on aerody-
namics by the late secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Dr.
S. P. Langley, and of the fact that he produced the first heavier-
than-air machines, both in models and of full size, with which actual
flights have been successfully made. The collection in this branch,
though small, is so diversified in character and in the size of objects,
that it has been necessary to find accommodations for it in several
different places. A full-sized Wright biplane is suspended from the
ceiling of the west hall; while in the east hall are installed the
Stringfellow machine exhibited at the Crystal Palace Exposition,
London, in 1868; the Hargrave compressed-air machine of 1891;
the Lilienthal glider of 1894; the three Langley experimental ma-
chines, suspended in a row through the middle of the hall; the
original engine of the full-sized Langley machine; three models of
Chanute gliders of different types, 1896-1902, and the Zahm aerody-
namic models.

What is certainly to be regarded as the most important of this
series is the Langley experimental aeroplane of model size, which
was flown on the Potomac River at Quantico, Va., on May 6, 1896,
and made other flights on succeeding days. It was operated by a
single-cylinder, one-horsepower steam engine, using gasoline fuel.
Launched on the earlier occasion with a steam pressure of 150
pounds, it rose to between 70 and 100 feet and traveled more than
half a mile at a speed of between 20 and 25 miles an hour, the pro-
pellers making 150 revolutions per minute. The total weight of the
model is 30 pounds, and the sustaining wing surface 68 square feet.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 47

This was the first time in the history of the world that a power-
driven, heavier-than-air machine was made to fly through the air,
and thereby was conclusively proven the correctness of Dr. Langley’s
theory, in the elaboration of which he spent many years. This re-
markable demonstration was in fact one of the greatest, if not the
greatest, epoch-making events of the last century, and is universally
recognized as the foundation of the science and art of aerial naviga-
tion, already, in the short space of 18 years, brought to such won-
derful perfection.. The second of these machines, which made a flight
on November 27, 1896, was built to the same scale as the first, but
with some modifications, while the third is an exact reproduction,
one-quarter size, of Langley’s full-sized aeroplane, and was flown on
August 8, 1903. Owing to a defect in the launching apparatus, the
two attempts to fly the large machine during Dr. Langley’s life
proved futile, but in June last, without modification, successful flights
were made at Hammondsport, N. Y. It is expected that this earliest
man-carrying aeroplane will soon be installed in the Museum.

The Wright biplane has the unique distinction of being the first
power-driven aeroplane purchased and put into practical operation
by any government in the world. On July 30, 1909, during the ex-
perimental tests it made a flight across country from Fort Myer to
Alexandria, Va., and return, carrying one passenger, at an average
speed of over 42 miles an hour. It was kept in use by the Army
service for about two years, and in 1911 was deposited in the Museum.

Four cases pertaining to this division are placed in the north hall
among the historical exhibits. They contain memorials of as many
individuals who gained renown in the field of scientific and indus-
trial advancement, consisting of apparatus, illustrations of the re-
sults of their researches, honors conferred upon them, and other per-
sonal relics, including several portraits. Those represented are
Joseph Henry, pioneer in the utilization of electricity; Samuel F. B.
Morse, best known by his inventions of electromagnetic apparatus
and for his successful efforts in the introduction of telegraphy ; Cyrus
W. Field, who planned and laid the first Atlantic telegraph cable, as
well as later ones; and Samuel P. Langley, astrophysicist, inventor
of the bolometer for measuring the heat rays of the sun—and the first
to demonstrate the possibilities of aerial navigation with machines
heavier than air.

TEXTILES AND ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE PRODUCTS.

In the classification of 1881 full provision was made for the sub-
jects of textiles and of animal and vegetable products, including
foodstuffs, and with little delay important materials for their illus-
tration were assembled and arranged. These collections were, how-
ever, among the first to be retired and placed in storage with the

48 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914,

overcrowding of the building, and while such action was unavoid-
able, it produced an unfortunate gap in the Museum scheme, which
every effort had been made to hold intact. Though constantly looked
forward to, the opportunity to revive any of these branches did not
occur until 1912, when the division of textiles was reestablished.
For the purpose primarily of placing again on display such parts of
the older collections of animal and vegetable products as were still
in appropriate condition, these subjects were associated with the
division of textiles, but with the means available it has been deemed
wisest to concentrate most attention for the present on the textiles
with which an exceptional amount of progress has been made.

The collections of textiles are designed, aside from the primary
purpose of education, to serve as distinct aids to the several branches
of this great industry in demonstrating its importance in the life of
the people and in recording the economic changes taking place from
time to time. There is both a reserve and an exhibition series, the
former being exclusively technical, compactly arranged and so cata-
logued as to permit of ready reference. The exhibition series, se-
lected, labeled, and arranged to furnish an impressive object lesson
for the public, includes raw material, classified along industrial lines
rather than biological; the technology of spinning and weaving, with
specimens of the intermediate steps in the production of yarn and
fabric; the ornamentation and utilization of woven structures; and
an exposition of the history and development of the various technical
operations as well as of the machines used. The exhibition space
allotted to the division for all purposes comprises the south hall and
southeast court with their galleries, the floor area of the east south
range, and the gallery of the southwest court.

Textiles —The south hall is devoted to an exposition of the origin,
preparation, and utilization of the three principal fibers, namely,
cotton, wool and silk. Starting with the cotton plant, sheep and
silkworm, respectively, there are developed three parallel series of
specimens, supplemented by photographs and models, illustrating
the processes whereby these fibers are compounded into thread or
yarn, and strands of this interwoven into fabrics of various kinds.
Another series deals with the ornamentation of the woven fabric by
means of dyeing, printing, and brocading.

The cotton exhibit, beginning with a plant bearing fully opened
bolls of cotton ready for picking, contains specimens of the bolls
and seeds of the most important species and cultivated varieties of
the world, a large series of commercially graded raw cotton taken
from the world’s markets, and a set of the official United States
standard cotton grades. In illustration of the processes involved in
manufacture are represented the successive operations in making six-
cord sewing thread, and the production of a standard cotton gingham,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 49

every stage of which is shown from the opening of the bale to a
finished garment. The accompanying large exhibition of plain,
piece-dyed, yarn-dyed, and printed cotton fabrics includes not only
standard goods like sheetings, drills, cambrics, percales, organdies,
chambrays, ginghams, double-faced napped goods, cotton flannels,
etc., but also dress goods novelties like crépes and ratines.

The wool industry is inaugurated by a series of raw wools repre-
senting the best classes raised in this country, and for comparison
a few selected fleeces from other parts of the world. Other speci-
mens show the injurious effects of poor pasturage and disease upon
the quality of the material and the trouble and expense caused
the manufacturer by improper methods of marking sheep and
sorting and baling wool. The very different processes employed in
the manufacture of woolen and worsted goods are brought out in
three large series of specimens, one showing the successive steps in
the production of a woolen overcoat fabric, another of worsted yarn
by the French system, and a third by the Bradford or English sys-
tem. The general collection which follows comprises suitings, broad-
cloth, cheviots, serges, diagonals, dress goods, crépes, voiles, challies,
cashmeres, Panama cloth, bunting, cloakings, etc., examples of 2
yards or more of each being draped in an effective manner to bring
out the particular qualities of each fabric.

The silk section commences with a case devoted to the natural
history of the cultivated mulberry silkworm, and includes besides
eggs, worms, chrysalises, cocoons and moths, large models of a silk-
worm and of the male and female moths. <A second. case contains a
series of commercial raw silks from the principal markets, together
with specimens showing the methods of wrapping, marking, tying,
and conditioning them. In still other cases are illustrated thrown
silk and the processes used in preparing silk threads for weaving,
sewing, and embroidering, as well as the utilization of silk waste
from the steam filatures and of the cocoons from which moths have
emerged. The exhibit of silk fabrics, which is extensive, is arranged
according to the methods of dyeing and finishing rather than to use,
and comprises piece-dyed, skein-dyed, printed, and brocaded goods,
besides silk velvets and plushes. At the southern end of the hall is
a fine display of color work on silk, which includes skein dyeing,
illustrated by two rows of skeins of thrown silk in 150 shades, piece
dyeing, and both warp and surface printing of silk goods by copper
rollers. In other cases the subjects of textile printing and orna-
mentation of fabrics by figure weaving are also presented.

A large and deep wall case along the eastern side of the hall is
devoted to the historical aspect of the industry, and contains several
machines and models of machines which mark important epochs in

the development of manufacturing in this country. Among these
are one of the three spinning frames built by Samuel Slater at Paw-
tucket, R. I., the oldest piece of cotton machinery in the United
States; one of the first wool-carding machines constructed in this
country; and the oldest example of the Grant silk reel, now in uni-
versal use for reeling raw silk. Also included in this display are a
number of hand-power machines for spinning, winding and weaving,
dating from the Colonial period, and machines for similar purposes
used by people of other nationalities.

On the gallery of the south hall are exhibited the raw materials
and manufactures of the less important vegetable fibers, and of hair,
fur, and felt. The east side is assigned to flax, ramie, hemp, jute,
and other exogenous or bast fibers, and the west side to the fibrous
materials obtained from endogenous plants like the banana, century
plant, pineapple, and cocoanut. Specimens deserving special notice
are fine examples of bleached damask table linen, novelty yarns, a
printed plush rug made from ramie fiber, wall hangings, figured
upholstery fabrics of jute, and Maori robes of New Zealand flax. A
series of cordage specimens made from flax, hemp, Jute, abaca, sisal,
pita, and coir show the importance of these fibers in the indus-
trial world; and brushes and brooms made from palmetto, cocoanut,
piassaba, yucca, agave, zacaton, broom corn, etc., are also displayed.
The exhibits of hair and fur comprise examples of horse, cow, yak
and human hair and of the products derived from them, and the
skins of fur-bearing animals like the rabbit, hare, beaver, nutria and
kangaroo whichare valuable for their felting properties. The manu-
facture of felt for industrial purposes, piano parts, shppers, etc., and
the successive stages in the making of fur-felt hats is extensively
represented.

The collections in the east south range comprise, in addition to
examples of the coarser weaving operations involved in basketry and
the making of straw hats, exhibits of minor textile products, such as
ribbons, ties, laces, veilings, braids and fringes; of fabrics of special
construction, such as crépes, Terry cloths, corduroys, imitations of
seal, pony skin, and furs, and fabrics showing Persian lamb and
similar curled effects; of knit fabrics, hosiery, and intermediate proc-
esses; and of small appliances used in the textile industry, such as
shuttles, spindles, spools, bobbins, heddles, needles, ete., as well as
an exposition of the modern methods of winding and delivering
thread, yarn and cordage. The wall cases contain upholstery fabrics,
curtains, and wall and floor coverings.

Animal products.—The collection of animal products, exclusive of
wool and silk, is very incomplete and has scarcely been added to
within the past 20 years. It is installed in the gallery of the south-
west court, where the arrangement is planned to emphasize the in-

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. BL

dustries using these materials rather than to call attention to par-
ticular groups of animals yielding important products. The adop-
tion of this scheme has rendered advisable the installation in this
connection of certain materials and specimens which are not of ani-
mal origin, when such are used in or produced by the same industries,
as, for example, vegetable ivory, celluloid, and like nitrocellulose
products, along with the manufactures of ivory, horn and pearl, and
the introduction in a parallel series of vegetable gelatines and similar
products obtained from animals.

Of materials for carving, turning or molding the most important
displayed are ivory, bone, horn, tortoise shell, whalebone, vegetable
ivory, mother-of-pearl, and various shells. The ivory collection in-
cludes teeth from the elephant, hippopotamus, walrus, cachelot, nar-
whal, alligator and wild hog, and illustrates the manufacture from
them of piano keys, brush backs, combs, billiard balls, jewelry, and
handles for tools, knives and umbrellas, intermediate stages of work
as well as the finished articles being shown. The utilization of the
horns of the ox, stag, antelope, rhinoceros and sheep, and of the
_bones of many animals is treated in a similar manner. Among other
industries represented in this series are the usages to which whale-
bone and tortoise shell are put, including such substitutes as feather-
bone, celluloid, and vulcanized rubber; the making of buttons from
vegetable ivory, consisting of the seeds of several species of palms;
the use of both salt and fresh water shells, furnishing mother-of-
pearl, for buttons, jewelry and other ornaments, handles and carved
novelties; the pearl fisheries of Ceylon, including models of boats
and apparatus, shells, and a small lot of pearls of various kinds;
the uses of precious coral, fish scales, and cameo shells. The various
kinds of commercial sponges are also shown.

Still other exhibits are of feathers and featherwork, in which the
ostrich plume is represented in every grade or form used; the leather
industry, comprising the raw and tanned skins of many different
animals, implements for dressing skins, and illustrations of the man-
ner of making shoes, gloves, pocketbooks, hand bags, etc.; the use of
bristles and hair in the manufacture of brushes; of animal mem-
branes for sausage cases and for the heads and strings of musical
instruments; of fishskins and sounds in the production of glue and
isinglass; and of lac for sealing wax and shellac.

Vegetable products.—In this section of the division the collections
are much less extensive than those of animal products, and there has
been available for display scarcely more than was saved from the
original exhibition, though recent accessions will furnish more ma-
terial when there has been time to work them up. A tentative classi-
fication has been adopted, and means will soon be taken to sys-
tematically collect along the lines marked out. One of the most

important and urgent subjects is a full representation of the useful
woods, finished to show their adaptability to different purposes. The
manufacture of paper with the use of wood pulp is an industrial
problem deserving detailed attention, and there are many others to be
presented in the direction of the usages of wood in the arts and manu-
factures, and the extracts from wood which are of great variety and
utility.

There is also the further subject of foodstuffs, of which the Mu-
seum once possessed a large collection, that has greatly deteriorated
through long storage. It is, nevertheless, exceedingly rich in ex-
amples of the foods of the Indian peoples of this country and con-
tains specimens which can not now be duplicated.

ART TEXTILES.

While textiles of high artistic craftsmanship have always had a
place in the organization of the department of arts and industries,
and an important loan collection of laces was formerly exhibited, cir-
cumstances prevented, for a number of years, the continuance of
activities in this line. The subject, in fact, lay dormant until 1908
when unexpected assistance was tendered the Museum, and its ac-
ceptance has resulted in the building up of a collection remarkable
for its comprehensiveness and for its worth. The proposition came
from Mrs. James W. Pinchot, who has been supported and aided by
many ladies of this city, a committee being formed and a few ardent
devotees of the movement giving much of their time to the promotion
of its interests. Mrs. Pinchot herself entered into the matter with
deepest concern, obtaining desirable materials from every possible
source, giving and lending on a greater scale than any other, and
during long periods she engaged daily in the installation and labeling
of the specimens.

The collection assembled through these means is composed pri-
marily of laces which in number and variety are excelled in only
two other museums in this country. Of other art fabrics, such as
velvets, brocades, and embroideries, there is also an excellent presenta-
tion, and even very different though associated subjects of art, in the
shape of fans, enamels, jewelry, etc., have been admitted. With this
combination the collection is naturally very beautiful throughout,
and in large part it is also markedly brilliant from the display of
rich coloring and design. It likewise reaches back through a period
of several centuries, bringing down to us the culture and refinement
of the past, as recorded by skilled designers and craftsmen, in many
rare and treasured heirlooms.

In reviving and fostering this museum branch, which offers so
much of interest and pleasure to the casnal visitor, the main idea has
been, by affording acquaintance with the various kinds of art fabrics,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 53

and especially the laces, using the best examples possible to obtain, to
stimulate and assist the handicraft workers of to-day. The object
sought is cultural advancement and not the satisfying of curiosity,
though one would not minimize or hinder the enjoyable effects which
the rich materials convey. Laces are among woman’s chief con-
.tributions to art, as lacework is an expression of art feeling quite as
much as a demonstration of skill in workmanship, and the striking
pieces are not only registers of achievements but serve equally well
as an inspirational influence in art education.

While containing many articles permanently acquired, the collec-
tion consists principally of loans, mainly received from ladies of
Washington. That these deposits are steadily increasing, and the
withdrawals are few in comparison, would indicate not only that the
collection is constantly being strengthened but also that it may be
regarded as a permanent feature, especially in view of its many
earnest friends. Nevertheless, the conditions could be much im-
proved by the acquisition in perpetuity of at least the materials neces-
sary for a full systematic demonstration of the processes and history
of the industries concerned. These alone could not, however, be
expected to set forth the great range and wealth of accomplishment
in these several lines, and the Museum would still remain dependent
upon the same sources of supply which have produced the present
splendid exhibition.

The collection of art textiles occupies the east north range, which
is situated immediately to the left of the main entrance of the build-
ing. Having a floor area of about 4,400 square feet and a height of
about 30 feet, the lighting is entirely from the north by means of 7
large windows. The furnishings comprise wall cases on two sides,
a large screen at the inner end, and 42 floor cases. The last men-
tioned are of several patterns, including the flat top, the low double
and single slope, and the high double slope, with 3 small Ken-
sington cases and 1 special case. The general arrangement of the
floor cases is in three rows lengthwise of the range, with a main
passage starting at the entrance. In addition, there is a single row
against the wall under the windows and another against the screen.
The laces are installed in 26 cases in the central and northern part
of the range, and may be briefly reviewed as follows:

The early and conservative period of lace has some excellent illus-
trations, among which may be mentioned a large piece of Italian
drawn work altar cloth with masterly design, a rare sixteenth cen-
tury Italan Gothic altar scarf, an old Spanish drawn work, an
Italian seventeenth century drawn and cutwork piece, and other
examples combining embroidery, reticella, and filet.

For the guidance of the student of the history of lace one case
has been installed with an Italian reticella towel, eighteenth century ;

drawn work; guipure; punto in aria; Gothic; Greek; reticella
needle-point, seventeenth century; flat needle-point, Venetian; needle-
point punto in aria; needle-point, transition from geometric to
scroll; early bobbin, Itahan; rare Schleswig needle-point; Venetian
gros point; Venetian tape and needle-point, seventeenth century;
point de France needlework; Flemish bobbin; needle-point with
réseau or net; and other bobbin laces to the end of the series. In
several cases in the middle of the range are represented the great
periods and centers of the industry or of distribution from which
familiar names have been derived. Here are Flemish and Italian
bobbin laces of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, striking in
their bold, simple, and forceful designs. Not less pleasing are the
Venetian and Genoese point of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen-
turies, which range from the extremely delicate patterns of the early
types to the raised and rose gros point sculpturesque laces of a
somewhat late period which Velasquez and Rembrandt loved to
paint.

A number of notable specimens of Venetian lace may be seen in
the cases containing personal collections. Brussels for a long period
has enjoyed a reputation for producing fine lace. In that city many
varieties were worked into one shawl, and there in the early eight-
eenth century lace was made and sold in England as point d’Angle-
terre, the name causing some confusion as to its origin. Of the
latter are displayed an interesting collar and a large piece of church
lace with figures. Valenciennes and Binche of great fineness and
beauty were produced as early as the seventeenth century and this
group is well illustrated by exquisite specimens. A piece of Binche
worked to represent snow crystals and hence called point de Neige
deserves special attention. Several excellent pieces of Mechlin are
found in the collection, and among the rarer examples is an old
Mechlin border with unusual ground. Of Alencon and guipure de
Cluny, Burano, and Argentan there are many specimens. These
laces show a greater floridness of design than the earlier types and
are characterized by the raised surface of the pattern and outhning
by stitching. One magnificent piece of old point d’Argentan,
believed to be the finest extant and certainly worthy of the highest
praise for its noble designing, is attractively displayed.

Bobbin lace required a “ pillow” sometimes mounted on a stand.
By means of a perforated paper or parchment pattern, and pins and
bobbins to which the threads were attached, this lace was made.
Two of the pillows about 100 years old and a copy of a painting by
Terburg (1608-1681) showing a bobbin lacemaker at work are ex-
hibited in a small case at the west end of the range.

The production of fine bobbin net with small thread furnished a
most important stimulus to the making of lace. Often grounds of

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 55

plain net were purchased and a well-known variety of lace made by
applying patterns to it. Appliqué lace is represented by a Belgian
nineteenth century example of extremely fine fond cr ground, and an
appliqué net lace once the property of Queen Charlotte. Later laces,
as Brussels, Chantilly, and Honiton, appear in profusion. Of these
Honiton is characterized by simple designing, while Brussels and
Chantilly run the gamut of florid patterns. Especially interesting
is a Honiton collar with rose, shamrock, and thistle design affected by
royalty. Of Spanish blonde, one of the few laces made with silk
thread, there are charming examples.

Aside from the laces arranged to give an idea of the types and
varieties of this beautiful handiwork are other individual collections
placed together and containing rare and valuable specimens which
delight the connoisseur. The collection as a whole relates principally
to European work, but illustrations of Philippine embroidery and
drawn work of excellent quality and of Paraguay Indian lace have
been included. Among these are exquisitely fine pifia handkerchiefs
with worked scenes, and examples of Philippine needlecraft which
will repay study.

A special exhibit of great interest consists of weavings, embroid-
eries, samplers, tatting, knitting, and other handiwork of the Amer-
ican gentlewoman of the nineteenth century, together with appliances
and accessories, forming a series that is noteworthy on account of its
historical treatment of the pursuit of artistic expression during a
former period. The fascinating subject of white embroidery has not
as yet been given prominence, but a number of pleasing pieces of the
work are displayed in the wall and other cases on the south side of the
range.

The collection of art fabrics is one of peculiar attractiveness on
account of the richness of its materials and colors, to which the spin-
ner, dyer, weaver, and metal worker gave their best craftsmanship.
Lace, more modest, employed only threads of white or rarely black
to create its marvels, but lace was the final touch, the supreme finish
to set off the rich colors of the costume. It is probable also that the
edges of stuffs as they came from the loom required lace for their
embellishment and in its origin lace appears to have been an out-
growth of this need. It seems remarkable that these brocades, cloths
of gold, velvets, satins, and embroideries should have survived the
vicissitudes of several centuries and still remain strong and fresh.
This is owing to the conscientious manner of their production, and
these works will endure when the evanescent fabrics of the present
period have crumbled to dust. Another reason for their preserva-
tion is that most of the fabrics in the exhibit are in the form of
ecclesiastical vestments, which were systematically cared for in the
church wardrobes. Among the materials are French, Italian, and

56 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914,

Spanish copes, chasubles, stoles of the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seven-
teenth centuries in gold and silver brocades and embroideries, and
several of these are of the highest excellence. There are also chris-
tening robes, chalice covers, embroidered pictures, and other eccle-
siastical objects in which textiles were employed. Art craftsmen of
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries displayed great skill in de-
signing and weaving velvets intended for costumes as well as for
hangings and upholstery. Velvets reached their acme in Genoa
and good specimens are very rare. Some of these of Italian, French,
and Spanish weaving are represented and may be compared with a
case of excellent Chinese velvets of the eighteenth century.

Embroidery on woven fabric may have preceded decorative weav-
ing. The interpretation of embroidery in weaving produces brocade
in which the pattern, as in embroidery, is raised above the surface.
Embroidery has persisted from ancient times, however, as a distinct
class of work either as a decoration in combination with other
methods or as an artistic production. It has given rise to a great
number of stitches most of which are represented in the collection,
and attention is called to several examples of laid stitch and cross
stitch, and especially to a magnificent specimen of Italian em-
broidery installed on the screen. A number of very quaint and
interesting pieces of English stump work of the period of Charles V
are also shown. The setting of embroideries with precious and semi-
precious stones is frequently observed in antique fabrics, the work
often resembling the incrustations of the jeweler. A fine Spanish
specimen of this kind is exhibited besides three other examples of
embroidery squares and a long panel set with coral. The noble art
of tapestry weaving is illustrated by two excellent Italian works,
which, together with Persian, Chinese, and Turkish rugs, decorate
the walls above the cases.

In connection with the art textiles have been included other classes
of art objects such as fans, enamels, jewelry, and ivory carvings.
Chief of these special exhibits is a collection of 32 European fans
carefully selected by Mrs. Pinchot. They evidence not only the most
perfect art and taste, but are also associated with sentiment and
history. The enamels are from the famous Limoges artists; they are
principally of ecclesiastical subjects and intended for shrines, ete.
The colors are gris and polychrome, the former representing the
older painting. These enamels may be compared with the ecclesias-
tical embroideries and embroidered pictures in other cases. A fac-
simile of the enamel cross of Queen Dagmar, who died in 1212, and
a Danish cameo and enamel necklace, the cameos carved by the great
sculptor Thorwaldsen, are especially noteworthy.

MINERAL TECHNOLOGY.

This division, the objects of which were partly incorporated in
the classification of 1881, has been actively organized for scarcely
more than a year, and owing to the complicated character of most of
the proposed exhibits rapid progress in their preparation is not
to be expected. For an explanation of these objects we can not do
better than draw upon material contained in a recent report of its
curator. Governmental organizations having already been estab-
lished for investigating the latent mineral resources, increasing effi-
ciency in their development, and the standardization of the products
therefrom, the division should be excluded from activity in any of
these directions. Again, in seeking new products or added refine-
ments wherewith to cater to the ever-widening demands of society,
manufacturing interests in the field of mineral technology have be-
come awakened to the value of scientific research, no longer merely
relying on the casual findings of disinterested investigators. Every
important type of operation based on mineral research affords from
one laboratory to many devoted to researches problems involved in
widening the range of products, giving additional refinements to
those already in use, and studying their behavior under specific
conditions. As a result, new mineral derivatives, new uses of those
already established, and newly determined facts concerning their
adaptability are constantly accruing. For the dissemination of this
mass of most important information the public is almost wholly de-
pendent upon the industrial advertising manager, and however
accurate may be the contributions from such sources, they are bound
to fail in their broader educational value through the fact that the
information does not emanate from a disinterested source. In its
most purely technical aspect, therefore, the real opportunity of the
division to be of service lies, not in the direction of abstract re-
search, but in the exactly opposite one of rendering assistance toward
keeping the public in touch with important current developments
in mineral technology.

The foregoing presents some of the purely utilitarian aspects in
the range of opportunity open to the division. An equally important
and more fundamental opportunity is offered along the more conven-
tional lines of cultural information. By far the greater proportion
of the economic minerals, in one form or another, have grown to be
of importance in daily household life; but extension of information
concerning them has not kept pace with extension in their use.
Everyone is interested in knowing of the source and preparation of
the materials in daily use, and by placing such information within
the range of popular comprehension the Museum would be rendering
a valuable service.

58 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

The plans for the development of the division aim, therefore,
toward an embodiment devoted to the interests of the public at large
as opposed to the abstractly scientific or highly technical, and with its
energies directed to the extension of cultural learning together with
information concerning significant current utilitarian facts. In the
attainment of these results it is proposed, to the extent that space is
available, to prepare a model reproduction of each important type of
mineral industry operating in the field, tracing conditions and pro-
cesses from natural occurrence to finished products; around that
model reproduction as a central theme to assemble in each instance
such a systematic exhibit as will best serve to emphasize important
features in both manufacturing processes and industrial capabilities;
and finally, as each respective series is completed, to make it the basis
of an educational bulletin for popular distribution. Development
along such lines will attractethe interest and attention essential to the
success of the educational effort; will appeal in affording a direct,
comprehensive summary of interesting and significant facts in logical
sequence; and its possibilities will be country wide instead of limited
to Museum visitors.

For the reasons set forth, the research phase of activity has been
entirely subordinated to the interests of popular education, and, ac-
cordingly, no effort has so far been made to develop a distinct study
series. It should be recalled, however, that a very large and excep-
tionally fine collection of the minerals and ores of the country, divided
into exhibition and study series, is in the possession of the department
of geology, in the new building. For the division of mineral tech-
nology nothing is being accepted at present unless eligible for incor-
poration in an industrial exhibition representative of conditions and
operations in one or another field of mineral resources, the general
character of which at least has previously been determined for each
subject.

As a preliminary to the development of the division it was neces-
sary to determine upon a suitable apportionment of the available
space among the mineral products to be represented, and this again
required the planning in at least a tentative way of the size and char-
acter of the exhibits relating to each subject. With this broad outline
established, it was possible to take up the details and to enter into
consideration with the producers and manufacturers as to the means
for securing such models and other materials as were needed. All of
this work has been entered into most heartily, but it is of such a
painstaking character that, except for the few models obtained at the
St. Louis Exposition, there would have been scarcely anything for
public display by the close of the year. Through the cordial coopera-
tion given the Museum, however, many exhibits were placed in course
of preparation, and though some of these will require a considerable

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 59

time to complete, accessions of importance may soon be expected to
reach the Museum with some regularity.

It is gratifying to note that the public-spiritedness of mining and
metallurgical interests has relieved the Museum largely of the first
cost of the exhibits under way. This is especially significant since a
reasonably complete representation of all the industries in mind will
involve a very large expenditure, and outside contributions are
essential to its fulfillment. Starting with the mineral resources
economically most important, such as iron, clay, gold, silver, copper,
etc., and ranging thence downward through the minor ones of bis-
muth, cadmium, lithium, etc., at the other extreme, there are upward
of 50 bases for operations in mineral technology. The minor ones
may be provided for readily, but the important ones, as for example,
iron, in all their complexity of phase, offer innumerable problems for
solution; and with the resources at hand patience must be shown in
contemplating the building up of what will ultimately be one of the
most important and unique museum demonstrations in the world.

The exhibition space assigned to the division comprises the west
hall, the south west and west south ranges, and the southwest court,
all of which are adjoining and intercommunicating. One only of
these halls had been opened to the public by the close of the year.
This was the southwest court which presents a résumé of the occur-
rence and mining of coal, reasonably complete except as to detail.
The chief units in the coal series have been briefly described in the
body of this report, and include models of the Consolidation Coal
Co.’s colliery at Fairmont, W. Va.; the Pittsburgh Coal Co.’s colliery
at Willock, Pa.; the Western Coal & Mining Co’s colliery at Jenny
Lind, Ark.; the Takashima coal field in Japan; a by-product coke
plant according to the Koppers system; non-by-product ovens of bee-
hive and rectangular types; and a bench of gas retorts. Isolated
individual models in other halls, belonging to other series being
assembled, are of the Fayal iron mine at Eveleth, Minn.; an old-
style blast furnace; a pot glass furnace, and a tank glass furnace.

Exhibits in an advanced state of construction comprise sundry
detail models for addition to the coal series; detail modeling for the
series illustrating glass manufacture; complete demonstrations of the
natural graphite industry, the artificial graphite industry, and the
abrasives industries, natural and artificial; the occurrence, mining,
metallurgy, and industrial adaptability of zinc; the manufacture of
lead pigments and alloys; the mining, technology, and uses of as-
phalt; the occurrence, mining, and technology of gypsum; the mica
industry, and the asbestos industry. Less advanced, but nevertheless
definitely under consideration, were complete series representing the
technology of lime, refractories, alkalies, and ornamental tile.

j MEDICINE.

The division of medicine is one of the branches of the department
of arts and industries which has been continuously maintained since
its establishment in 1881, when it was designated “ section of materia
medica.” Its foundation was based upon the large donations of
drugs and drug materials received by the Government from exhibit-
ors at the Centennial Exhibition of 1876, which soon were supple-
mented by important contributions from many other sources.
Through this means and by the additions of subsequent years the
collection has grown to a considerable size and to a certain degree of
completeness, but there is still much to do in the way of perfecting it,
and the active support of the division is urgently called for, in view
of its direct relations with the medical work of the Government and
of its influence on the practice of medicine generally. With its de-
velopment there has been a broadening of its scope and the assump-
tion of additional features, which add greatly to its cultural value
and makes the collection, as exemplified in its exhibition series,
entirely unique for this country.

The curatorship of the division until recently has been held by
medical officers of the United States Navy, of whom seven have
from time to time been detailed to this duty. The first was Surg.,
later Medical Director, James M. Flint, who not only had the
responsibility of organizing and planning the work of the division,
but served 25 out of the 33 years since 1881 as its honorary curator,
continuing in this office even after his retirement from active service
in the Navy.

The search for desirable material was naturally most active dur-
ing the earlier years, when the field was practically open, and was
richly rewarded by numerous and some very extensive gifts from
the leading drug houses of this country, representing quite com-
pletely the drug commerce of the United States at that time, and
also to some extent by donations from abroad. Through the medium
of exchange, chiefly with foreign museums, valuable specimens were
likewise obtained; the accessions in recent years have been numerous
and varied, and in the preparation of exhibits for international
expositions means have sometimes been available for securing spe-
cial features. The collection now aggregates over 6,000 actual
specimens, besides numerous pictures or illustrations. There is the
customary division into exhibition and reserve series, and notwith-
standing the nature of most of the material the former has been
made attractive and comprehensible to the general visitor.

Under the original classification, that of 1881, two primary divi-
sions were recognized, namely, inorganic materia medica and or-
ganic materia medica, the latter being subdivided into vegetable
products, products of fermentation and distillation, and animal

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 61

products. In 1888, in view of the growth of the collection, the
variety in points of interest and importance of the individual speci-
mens, and the small amount of space available for exhibition, a
modification of this classification was introduced. Retaining its
general features, there was a subdivision into several series. The
first comprised the more important drugs in general use among
civilized people, known as “official” or “ pharmacopcal” drugs,
illustrated by colored plates, photographs, drawings, etc. The next
contained the indigenous drugs of the United States, not official,
and the third drugs from Mexico, Chile, India, Japan, Korea, China,
and other countries, arranged in separate geographical groups.

The present classification was adopted in 1898, and resulted from
the closer association of the division with the ideas embodied in
the department of anthropology, in which the subject of medicine
had been incorporated under the reorganization then made. The
scope of the collection was greatly extended, so as to present as
far as possible by object lessons the history and progress of medi-
cine from the earliest times and among the various peoples of the
world, which meant the introduction of objects and of illustrations
of practices quite at variance with the views of modern civilization.
The classification is as follows: -

1. Magic medicine, including exorcism, invocations, incantations,
amulets, talismans, fetishes, charms, signatures, etc.

2. Psychic medicine, including laying on of hands, royal touch,
music, metallotherapy, suggestion, hypnotism, Christian science,
faith cure, etc.

3. Surgical medicine, including baths, massage, electricity, acu-
puncture, cautery, blood-letting, surgical operations and appliances.

4, Pharmacological medicine, including American Indian medi-
cines, Egyptian medicines, Greek and Roman medicines, Chinese
medicines, Hindu medicines, medicinal medicines, and modern medi-
cines.

The exhibition series of medicine occupies the north gallery of the
east wing, the area of which is, however, much too small even for
the amount of material now displayed, and there is a considerable
number of specimens and illustrations on hand which it is important
should be added. The cases are rather closely arranged in alcove
fashion, but notwithstanding their crowding the collection is well
installed, and every object is accompanied by a fully descriptive
label, besides which there are larger general labels for the cases and
sections. Most of the specimens are in sealed glass jars as a neces-
sary protection against deterioration, but some do not require this
expedient, and what might otherwise be regarded as a monotonous
exhibit is enlivened by special features and by illustrations which
are mostly colored. Pictures are, in fact, freely distributed through

62 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

the cases, and in many instances they furnish the only means of
representing a subject.

The section dealing with the history of medicine has 8 exhibits,
beginning with magic medicine, which is followed by psychic or
mental remedies, and the medicines of the American Indians, the
Egyptians, the Hebrews, the Greeks and Romans, and the other
more eastern nations. Of modern medicines there is 1 case of animal
products, 10 cases of vegetable products, and 1 case of organic
chemical products. Among the special features are 2 screens of
portraits of eminent American physicians, 2 pillar screens with
pictures of medicinal plants, and exhibits illustrating the compo-
sition of food, including milk and bread, the utilization of food,
with an example of a day’s ration, and the composition of the
human body. The instruments used in connection with the practice
of medicine are also represented.

The exhibition as at present constituted is of great cultural value,
but its importance in this respect could be much enhanced by certain
additions, including more botanical illustrations, both as colored
pictures and as mountings of actual plants. This it is hoped can
soon be done and the collection given more room. The reserve series,
however, is the one which appeals most to the profession. It is
supposed to contain a fairly complete representation of drug mate-
rials, all of which, together with the specimens on exhibition, have
been carefully identified and catalogued, but the division has never
been supplied with an adequate laboratory through which these
materials could be rendered as fully serviceable as is implied in the
scheme of the division. The collection should also be kept up to
date, all newly discovered substances pertaining to the subject being
promptly added, and, furthermore, all specimens in at least the
reserve series should be in a condition retaining their full natural
properties. On such a basis the division would become in the truest
sense, as was intended, a place of reference, where makers and testers
of drugs could always find accurately determined samples of all the
natural products of which medicines are made. Its importance has
always been recognized by the Government, but, through the inade-
quate support given the honorary curator, it has not been possible
to fully or properly carry out the objects to which his time was so
long and earnestly devoted. It is the purpose to place this division
on a better working basis at the earliest opportunity.

PHOTOGRAPHY.

During a long period there has been gradually assembled a
large amount of material designed to illustrate the history and
development of photography. This work of collecting was begun
by Mr. T. W. Smillie, chief photographer of the Institution and

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 63

Museum, and has ever since remained strictly in his charge as cus-
todian of the section pertaining to this subject. So unostentatiously
have his labors in seeking original pieces of apparatus from the
earliest dates and examples of the results of the various processes
been carried on, that only recently has the Museum itself come to
fully realize the importance of his efforts. The collection brought
together is without a parallel and so well is nearly every step shown
that it furnishes an excellent basis for an historical account of this
interesting art, on which the world now chiefly depends for illus-
trative purposes. To the public at large, and even the casual visitor,
it has likewise a great attraction at this period when the camera is
so universally in vogue. The installation, begun about a year before,
was sufficiently advanced to be opened to the public late in June,
1913, but additions have since been made, and others are soon to be
expected.

The exhibition of photography occupies the gallery of the north-
west court, which has a total length on its four sides combined of
209 feet 10 inches, and a width of 10 feet 3 inches. The north, west,
and south sides are provided with a continuous deep wall case, but
on. the east side, where the large arched openings between the piers,
overlooking the north hall, have not been closed, the cases are of
several floor patterns, the American, the half-unit slope top, and the
flat top. Elsewhere a number of floor cases of different kinds have
been placed alongside the outer railing. The light, which comes
from a skylight and clerestory windows, is entirely suitable. The
labels, though prepared, had not been printed at the close of the
year. They comprise individual labels for the objects, general labels
for the sections, and very full descriptive labels for the cases.

The gallery is entered from the rotunda at the southeast corner
where the earliest objects are first encountered on the right. Thence
the order of arrangement is along the east, north, west, and south
sides to the point of starting. The collection begins with the camera
obscura, and in the several separate cases on the east side is extended
through quite a number of the early stages of photography. The
camera obscura, known to Euclid in a primitive form 300 years B. C.,
was first used in photography by Thomas Wedgwood in 1802,
though experiments made in the eighteenth century tended in this
direction. Wedgwood produced silhouettes in white on a black
ground by the use of paper sensitized with a solution of silver nitrate,
and also obtained photographs of leaves, wings of insects, and other
objects on paper and leather sensitized in the same manner, but, as
no solvent had been discovered for the silver salts which remain
unaltered by light, these photographs all faded. The exhibit com-
prises a photograph of an engraving of the camera obscura as used
in the sixteenth century, a model of a camera obscura as improved
in 1875, and examples of the work of Wedgwood.

The first permanent heliographs by the so-called asphalt process,
which seemed to present exceptional opportunities for illustrative
purposes, are depicted by a single print made by Joseph Nicéphore
Niépee in 1824. The subject of the daguerreotype is well and fully
represented by various pieces of apparatus, including a camera used
by S. F. B. Morse in 1839, and a large series of pictures. This proc-
ess, invented by L. J. M. Daguerre and published in 1839, consists
briefly in fuming with iodine one surface of a copper plate which
has been silvered and highly polished, then exposing it in the camera,
developing with vapor of mercury, and fixing in a solution of hypo-
sulphite of soda. The exposure at first required about 15 minutes,
but experiments made by others soon afterward reduced the time to
less than a minute, and made the pictures more permanent and much
more beautiful. The calotype or talbotype, the invention of Wil-
liam Henry Fox Talbot, of England, published in 1840, marked one
of the most important advances in photography, as it provided for
a negative made of paper from which any number of prints could
be taken. The Museum is fortunate in having examples of the ap-
paratus, negatives, and prints, the latter made by Mr. Talbot him-
self, and including views of his home, Lacock Abbey. The stereo-
scope with stereoscopic views follows next, as its invention in 1838
Was contemporaneous with that of photography, though originally
designed for viewing drawings. In the last case of this series are
examples of albumen positives on glass and prints from albumen
negatives, invented by Niépce de Saint Victor in 1848; of ambro-
types, introduced by Cutting and Rehn in 1850; and of vitrified
enamel photographs, invented by Lafon de Camarsac in 1854; be-
sides a series of tintypes by Peter Neff, the discoverer of that
process.

At this point is reached the beginning of the wall case, in which
and in the few additional floor cases, the collection is continued in
about the following order: In the first section is a series of plain
silver prints, some of which were made at an early date from collo-
dion glass negatives and called crystallotypes. They were used to
illustrate the Photographic and Fine Art Journal in 1857 and other
publications of that time. Some later prints have also been intro-
duced. The next three sections are devoted to the wet-collodion
negative and albumen silver print, representing processes that were
employed for many years. The use of collodion as a vehicle to hold
the silver haloids on plates originated with Frederick Scott Archer
in 1850, while the silver printing process was introduced about 1852.
In this connection is likewise displayed a series of composite photo-
graphs.

Carbon printing is illustrated in the adjoining section by prints
of the various processes. This form of printing is the result of

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 65

experiments by many persons, dating back to the fourth decade of the
last century, but its discovery can not be ascribed to any one of them.
The process used to-day was invented and patented by J. W. Swan
in 1866. A view at Essex, Mass., furnishes an example of the making
of enlargements through the medium of whey from milk, first pub-
lished in 1870. The methods of printing in platinum, including the
bromogelatin emulsion negative, follow. Platinum printing was in-
vented by William Willis in 1874, the picture produced being com-
posed of platina black, which is almost indestructible, sepia or brown
tones being obtained by adding salts of mercury, uranium, or other
substances. The process has also been used in decorating linen and
wood. In the next section is a series of pictures showing the uses
of the various printing-out papers introduced about 1891. Pro-
ducing results similar in character to the albumen silver print and
being ready sensitized for use, they have to a considerable extent
superseded the former.

An assemblage of apparatus dating from the introduction of
Frederick Scott Archer’s collodion wet-plate process, 1852, and in-
cluding many of the most important modifications and improvements
up to the present time, occupies two of the sections, in which the
pieces are arranged approximately in the order of their invention.
Two other sections display the earliest forms of the hand camera,
together with the latest improvements, accompanying which are a
number of enlargements mostly made from kodak negatives. A
large series of kodak cameras and another of mechanical lens shut-
ters, dating from 1879, are installed in separate cases.

Important results in photography, mainly recent, are represented
in several sections, as follows: Portraiture and interior views by
means of the flash light; the work of some of the leading portrait
photographers in the United States, showing wonderful advance-
ment; a series of photographs by H. P. Robinson and others, col-
lected in 1890, and valued for their pictorial merits without regard
to process; a series of photographs selected by Mr. Alfred Stieglitz,
of New York, the work of a number of men and women most emi-
nent in the pictorial line of photography during the period from 1841
to 1913; and a large carbon print from a direct flash-light negative by
Mr. W. S. Lively, president of the Southern School of Photography.
Under printing by development are displayed prints on bromide
paper, first produced about 1881 and almost exclusively used for
making enlargements by projection, and on chloride developing
paper or gaslight paper, invented about 1898.

The development of the motion picture is partly illustrated, the
exhibit including the zodtrope, first used for showing drawings rep-
resenting motion and afterwards with photographs; a model of the

66 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

Muybridge arrangement for photographing men and animals in mo-
tion, with several prints; and a complete series of the motion-picture
cameras and projectors invented by Mr. C. Francis Jenkins, of
Washington.

The use of photography in connection with scientific observation
is represented by the following series of prints, those from institu-
tions having been received as gifts: The apparatus and photo-
graphic work of the Harvard College Observatory, in which the
views of the stellar spectra and also the very early results are espe-
cially notable; a large photograph of the moon and one of the solar
spectrum by Rutherfurd in 1865, a part of the 36-foot solar spectrum
by Rowland in 1888, and a series of recent views of the moon by
Ritchey; a fine series of illustrations of work done by the Mount
Wilson (Cal.) Solar Observatory of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington between 1907 and 1911, including a direct photograph
of the sun, a calcium spectroheliogram, two hydrogen spectrohelio-
grams, pictures of various nebulx, prominences on the sun, star
clusters, Halley’s comet, Saturn, and Mars, and views of the build-
ings and of the various telescopes and other instruments of the ob-
servatory ; some very remarkable photomicrographs of disease germs,
of laboratory experiments in the growth of animal tissues after the
death of the animal, of the transplanting of arteries, etc., from the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research; and a series of X-ray
photographs, mostly of surgical cases, photomicrographs of disease
germs causing malaria, cholera, tetanus, hay fever, etc., and of other
parasites.

Under color prints are displayed a few of the various processes
resorted to in artificially producing colors, as well as the genuine
color photographs, but the representation is very incomplete, and
important additions are soon expected. Some of the noteworthy
contents of the case are a photographic reproduction in color by
Mr. Miley of an old family portrait; several prints by the Mac-
Donough-Joly ruled screen process, 1894; one of the earliest three-
color colotypes; several of R. W. Wood’s diffraction grating color
photographs, 1899; one of Prof. Gabriel Lippman’s direct color
photographs by the interference method, 1891; and a number of
autochromes, 1907. A stereomotorgraph, with a series of direct color
slides, is about to be installed.

CERAMICS, METAL AND GLASS WARE, ETC,

The gallery of the northeast court has for a long period been dedi-
cated to the subject of pottery, and for 25 years it contained the re-
markable Chinese collection of Mr. Alfred E. Hippisley, recently _
reclaimed by the owner. In the lack of space for the proper display
of certain other classes of art this gallery has also been used for

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 67

the exhibition of bronzes, of lacquered and glass ware, of ivory cary-
ings, etc., not belonging to the division of history.

Three sides of the gallery are furnished with a single continuous
wall case, the framework of which, as of all the other cases, is ebonized.
The wall case is divided into sections, each painted a distinctive color
to suit its contents, but done so harmoniously as to add to the gen-
eral effectiveness of the installation, which is one of the most agree-
able in either building. The other cases, all of which are placed near
together, are mainly square-top floor cases mounted on legs, with
a few of the slope-top pattern. A row of these extends along the
west side of the gallery, overlooking the north hall, the remainder
occupying the inner edge of the gallery against the railing. The ar-
rangement in the wall case is geographical, and in the floor cases
it is mainly the same.

The wall case series begins at the right of the entrance to the
gallery with excellent types of ancient aboriginal pottery from Cen-
tral and South America, followed by rare specimens of ancient and
modern Pueblo Indian and ancient Mexican ware. <A section is
given to the ceramics of Spanish and Portuguese America and con-
tains good examples of the terra cotta and glazes of the folk pottery
characteristic of those countries. Most interesting products of the
old potteries of Pennsylvania and West Virginia are shown in an-
other section, together with modern wares to be noticed later. Espe-
cially attractive is a rare series of lead glazes from the old pottery
at Morgantown, W. Va.,and a small collection of the curious pottery of
the Pennsylvania Dutch of the last century. Adjoining are American
and European tablewares, noticeable among which are two Benning-
ton, Vt., pitchers with blue background from Miss Katherine Noyes,
a set of English luster from Mrs. A. S, Gillett, a set of rare Nymph-
enburg from Miss Olive Risley Seward, majolica druggists’ pots, and
copies of apostle pitchers.

The European series commences with English ceramics—Minton
& Co., H. Doulton & Co., T. C. Brown, Westhead, Moore & Co.,
Maw & Co., and other makes chiefly of the period of 1876. Next
follows a fine and representative collection of Sevres, presented to
the United States by the French Government and intended to illus-
trate this particular industry in its entirety, from the clays to the
finished productions. Three pieces in the same section were donated
by the Sultan of Turkey, and a splendid blue vase was the gift of
Messrs. L. Straus & Sons. In adjoining sections are French and
Dutch ceramics, the latter consisting of blue and polychrome plaques
of great variety lent by Mrs. Julian James. They are succeeded by
rare Hispano-Moresque copper-luster ware, also lent by Mrs. James,
and by Moorish pottery collected in north Africa by Mr. Talcott
Williams, showing admirably the great fertility in design of the

68 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

potters of that region. A few pieces of the great finds of Cesnola in
the island of Cyprus are exhibited in the next section, along with
modern Turkish ware.

The farther Asiatic collection starts with specimens of excellent
Siamese metal work and inlaying with shell, presented by the King
of Siam in 1876. Mortuary pottery from ancient Korean tombs occu-
pies the adjoining section, and following is an exhibition of early
Korean protoporcelains, porcelains, stoneware, etc., which are of
absorbing interest to students of the beginning of the porcelain in-
dustry in China and Japan. These materials were procured by the
late Commander J. B. Bernadou, United States Navy, Dr. H. N.
Allen, and Mr. Gustavus Goward. Specimens of Japanese bronzes,
many of them from the Gen. Horace Capron collection, are installed
in the two succeeding sections, and next them is the Capron collection
of Japanese lacquer. The remaining sections of the wall case contain
modern Japanese lacquer of exquisite taste and workmanship, belong-
ing to the Harold I. Sewall collection; Chinese and Japanese por-
celain collected by Miss Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore; Satsuma and
other ware of that class, mainly from the Capron collection, to-
gether with many specimens presented by the Japanese Government ;
a small series of Japanese enamels and vases; and Japanese and
Chinese art ceramics. Notable in the last section is a large Japanese
plaque decorated with doves in flight, and the large blue and white
vases of the Capron collection.

The floor cases on the west side of the gallery, with a few excep-
tions, are used for Chinese pottery and Japanese art metal work
belonging to the Sewall and Scidmore collections. Those on the north
side contain a wonderful Japanese wistaria vase of Sumida ware pre-
sented by Julius Stahel, the remainder of the Scidmore collection of
Japanese and Chinese pottery, Japanese small carvings in ivory and
wood, illustrations of the Chinese enamel industry from Mr. C. G.
Calkins, and small bottles of stone and porcelain. On the east side are
two cases of select Japanese pottery lent by Hieromichi Shugio, pot-
tery from Russian Poland, a case of Bohemian and modern iridescent
glass after ancient shapes, and two cases devoted to a collection of
ancient Cyprian, Phoenician, Greek, Egyptian and Roman pottery,
glass and metal work collected by William H. Seward on his journey
around the world and presented by his daughter, Olive Risley Seward.
Two vases of Savona faience, lent by the late Mrs. A. H. Magruder,
occupy one of the small cases in this series.

On the south side of the gallery American art pottery is placed in
juxtaposition with similar material in the wall case. This consists
of examples of the work of the designer-artist Edward Lycett; of
the Grand Feu Art Pottery, of Los Angeles, Cal.; the 8. A. Weller

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 69

Pottery Co., whose artist, Jacques Sicard, contributes a splendid
luster tablet; the Pope-Gosser China Co.; the Roseville Pottery Co.;
D. F. Haynes & Co.; the Warwick China Co.; the Goodwin Pottery
Co.; the International China Co.; the Colonial Co.; the Willets
Manufacturing Co.; the A. W. Roblin Co.; the Sevres China Co.; the
Homer Laughlin China Co.; Sophie Newcomb College; the C. S.
Thompson Pottery Co.; the Edwin Bennett Pottery Co.; the Norse
Pottery Co.; the Van Briggle Pottery Co.; the Gates Pottery Co.;
J. S. Taft & Co.; and the Wheatley Pottery Co. <A section of the
southeast wall case contains specimens of the earlier Rookwood
pottery, the Clifton art pottery, the Grueby Faience Co., the
Brower Pottery, and Mayer Bros. The collection of contempo-
raneous American pottery is interesting but scarcely representative.
It shows, however, that American potters are producing specimens
of great dignity and worth, which will increase in value and histori-
cal importance as records of art.

The south side of the gallery also holds a small exhibit of American
glass, notably a complete exposition of the manufacture of cut glass
from the Libbey Glass Co.; a quantity of cut, engraved, and other-
wise decorated glass from the Dithridge Flint Glass Co.; fine art
pieces from the Union Glass Co.; Pomona glass from the New Eng-
land Glass Works; specimens from the Fostoria Glass Co.; and won-
derful examples of Tiffany favrile glass. Two candle shades of
English glass about one century old, the gift of Mrs. E. L. Mc-
Adory, are shown in a case on the west side of the gallery. Above
the wall case are displayed a glazed terra-cotta plaque attributed
to Luca della Robbia, lanterns and vases of Japanese work, Cyprian
vases, etc., and at the entrance to the gallery are a large Doulton
vase and an Italian terra-cotta fountain.

Exhibited elsewhere than in the gallery, but belonging to the
division of ceramics, are a number of pieces mostly of large size and
some of considerable value. Among them are the following: A pair
of centennial memorial vases, presented by the Messrs. Haviland, of
Limoges, France, in 1876; an allegorical mosaic, composed of 900
tiles of Limoges faience, representing the genius of man dominating
and utilizing fire and water, designed by Bracquemond and made by
the Messrs. Haviland; a pulpit and font, and a pair of sculptured
tablets, in relief, representing Christ in Gethsemane and the cruci-
fixion, all in terra cotta, made by H. Doulton & Co., of Lambeth,
England; a mosaic reredos by Minton, Hollins & Co., of Stoke-upon-
Trent, England; and one of the famous peachblow vases and a
celadon porcelain vase of the Yung Chéng period (1723-1735),
gifts of the Chinese Government.

RELIGIOUS CEREMONIAL OBJECTS.

Religious sentiment expresses itself in creed and cult, and it is
the latter which most readily lends itself to museum exhibition. The
collection in the National Museum attempts to illustrate and explain
by means of objects the rites and practices of seven of the historic
religions. It is mainly installed in the south gallery of the west
hall, which is entirely occupied, though some of the most striking
features, and especially the Buddhist collection of Mr. S. S. Howland,
are displayed in the adjoining rotunda of the building. The furnish-
ing of the gallery consists of a practically continuous wall case, 8
feet 2 inches high, with projecting or wing cases, 7 feet high, at
intervals corresponding with the wall piers, thus producing a bay
or alcove arrangement, and as the wing cases, with one exception, are
diaphragmed each of the bays has three distinctive fronts. The
amount of space thus supplied is, unfortunately, altogether inade-
quate for the collection, resulting in an overcrowded arrangement,
and preventing the installation of much important material which
remains in storage.

The first two alcoves or compartments are occupied by the collec-
tion of modern Jewish ceremonial objects which, consisting to a
great extent of a loan from Hadji Ephraim Benguiat and his son
Mordecai, is unrivaled in completeness and in artistic and historical
value. It comprises furnishings and appointments of the synagogue
and objects used in public worships, such as curtains of the Holy Ark,
Torah scrolls in richly embroidered mantles with silver bells, breast-
plates, and pointers, Megilloth in revolving cases of wood and silver
of rare workmanship, manuscripts of prayer books, lamps and
candlesticks of brass and silver, lavers and alms boxes, phylacteries
and prayer shawls, etc. Of the numerous appurtenances to the
Holy Ark, which constitutes the architectural as well as the ideal
center of the synagogue, may be singled out a curtain of red velvet
with a border of green velvet, measuring 9 feet 5 inches by 6 feet 3
inches, embroidered in silver and gold with a large burning lamp
(symbolizing the light that emanates from the Torah, or the Law of
God, which is kept in the Holy Ark), surrounded by flowers and
passages from the Scriptures; and another curtain of yellow silk,
made in Italy in 1736 and measuring 6 feet 3 inches by 5 feet 2
inches, which is exquisitely hand-embroidered in silver, gold, and
silk, with flowers and the tablets of the Decalogue borne upon clouds
(the symbol of the Divine presence). A top piece of the Holy Ark,
of red velvet, made in England in 1749 and measuring 2 feet 8 inches
by 8 feet 1 inch, is adorned in heavy silver appliqué work with the
principal parts of the Tabernacle and Temple, viz, the golden front-
let of the high priest, the table of shewbread, the laver, the Ark of

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. a1

the Covenant with the two tables of the Decalogue, above which are
two cherubim, the altar of incense, the candlestick, and the breast-
plate of the high priest, the whole being surmounted by the three
crowns of the Law, the Priesthood, and the Kingdom, and inclosed
between wings which symbolize the presence of God. Next follow
the articles used on feast days, such as cups, covers and spice boxes
of the Sabbath; a complete set of embroidered tablecloths, silver,
glass and china ware for the semiritual Passover meal; shofar, lulab,
and ethrog, and numerous Hanukah lamps of silver, copper, and
brass, some of them of artistic workmanship. One case is given to
objects used on special occasions, such as a complete silver set of the
utensils of circumcision, illuminated marriage contracts, wedding
rings, slaughtering knife, etc.; and objects of the home, such as
mezuzoth, mottoes, amulets, mizrahs. In still another case is a series
of embroideries and tapestries depicting Bible narratives, such as
the sacrifice of Isaac, Joseph in Egypt, the worshiping of the golden
calf, the fight of David and Goliath, ete.

The daughter religions of Judaism, namely, Christianity and
Mohammedanism, come next in sequence. The latter, in two cases,
is represented by a model of a mosque, manuscripts of the Koran
upon their inlaid stands, mosque lamps of open brass work, flags and
tablets, some of the equipment of pilgrims to Mecca, and the cos-
tumes and utensils of several of the Dervish orders.

The Christian collection is obviously confined to the illustration
of the ceremonies and usages of the ritual branches of Christianity;
that is, the Roman Catholic and Eastern Churches. The former oc-
cupies an alcove of three cases. In the center is a wooden altar, 7
feet 3 inches high, dating probably from the seventeenth century,
and once belonging to a Roman Catholic church in Hildesheim, Ger-
many, which is adorned with a painting representing the Holy
Family. Upon and around this altar are ranged the appurtenances
of the church services, as chalice and paten, cruets, candlesticks and
hanging lamps, censers and incense boats, holy-water fountains and
sprinklers, cibories, and ostensory; and then the vestments for the
celebration of the mass and benediction, as albs, stoles, and chasubles
of fine brocade with rich embroidery in silver, a Philippine dalmatic
of purple velvet embroidered in gold, a cope and veil. In the side
cases are exhibited an episcopal mitre, crozier, and pectoral; proces-
sional crosses and banners, reliquaries, religious medals, statuettes
and plaques representing the Virgin Mary and several saints; devo-
tional objects, such as scapulars, rosaries, prayer books, votive offer-
ings and amulets. Monastic life is shown by the habits of several
orders, disciplinary girdles, scourges, etc., while in a special case is
a lay figure draped with the costume of the great fraternity of the
Misericordia in Italy. Another altar from Hildesheim, 15 feet in

co REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

height, which could not be inclosed in a case, is installed in the cen-
ter of the western end of the gallery, facing the rotunda. It is con-
structed in a combination of the Gothic, Renaissance and Rococo
styles, and is adorned with two paintings, one above the other, the
upper representing St. John the Evangelist holding the chalice of the
Lord’s Supper, the lower the assumption of the Virgin Mary.

The Eastern Church, in one case, is illustrated by the ecclesiastical
vestments of a Greek Catholic monk and a Russian and Armenian
priest; the staffs or croziers of a Greek Catholic bishop and an Ar-
menian patriarch; an altar cover; a set of musical instruments used
in the service of the Armenian Church, and a series of Russian icons.
One of these icons, representing the Virgin with the Infant Jesus,
is covered with a silver-gilt plate of chased work to represent the
clothing, with apertures for face and hands, and studded with fresh-
water pearls, emeralds, ruby spinels, and garnets, which date from
the eleventh to the fourteenth century. The folding doors are
adorned with miniatures depicting scenes from the lives of Christ
and Mary, and were painted by the artist who designed and deco-
rated the cathedral of Nizhni Novgorod, about 1645.

Passing to Asia, the first case is devoted to Brahmanism, the re-
ligion which sways the millions of India. The collection comprises
a set of marble images of the so-called 77rimurti gods and their suites,
of the incarnations (avatars) of Vishnu and some of the minor
divinities. Deserving of special notice are two finely carved stone
steles representing Vishnu and his retinue and marble statuettes of
Parvati and the sacred cow, exquisitely painted and gilded. Temple
utensils, such as lamps, bells, vases, and cruses, illustrate some of the
Brahmanic customs, and caste marks give opportunity for explaining
the caste system, which plays such an important part in the religious,
political, and social life of India. The contemplative and ascetic ele-
ment of Hinduism is portrayed by a series of terra-cotta models of
Yogis and ascetics in various attitudes. In a special case is a com-
plete set of brass utensils used in Hindu family worship, and the
sacred writings of Brahmanism are represented by a facsimile of a
bark manuscript of the Atharva Veda of the seventeenth century.

Of Buddhism, the offspring of Brahmanism, there is an exceed-
ingly rich collection, filling two alcoves and one special case. It
contains many representations of Buddha, in bronze, stone, and
shells, and carved and lacquered wood, some of which have much
art value. The Sakya sage can be seen in the Burmese, Sinhalese,
Japanese, and Tibetan conceptions of him—sitting in meditation,
preaching, blessing, and even reclining. A magnificent seated statue
of Buddha in bronze, 3 feet high, cast in Ise, Japan, A. D. 1648,
with an engraved inscription, rests on a pedestal outside the cases.
In addition are figures of temple guards (Nios), various divinities,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 73

monks, and saints (arhats). The elaborate ritual of Buddhism is
illustrated by a large number of musical instruments from China,
wooden and ornamental lacquered drums from Japan, temple lan-
terns, cruses, candlesticks, censers, rosaries, prayer wheels, ete. Of
the several models of Buddhist temples may be mentioned that of
the Wat Chang pagoda, the most magnificent edifice at Bangkok,
Siam, a gift of the Marquis Visuddha, minister of Siam to England,
which occupies a special case. The sacred literature of Buddhism
is represented by the Siamese edition of the 7ripitaka, presented by
the King of Siam.

A collection illustrating some of the rites and ceremonies of the
Parsees or Zoroastrians in India is exhibited in a special case. It
comprises a nickel-plated brass set of the utensils for keeping up the
perpetual sacred fire, offering trays, religious costumes, sprigs of the
sacred haoma plant, and a fine wooden model of the Tower of Silence
on which the Parsees lay out their dead. Shintoism, the primitive
national religion of Japan, is represented by a collection of shrines
and their contents, as the go-hei, mirrors, saki cups, two engraved
swords in scabbards of cloisonné and lacquer, masks, and votive
tablets.

One Kensington case contains a Korean sorcerer’s outfit; another,
a collection of amulets, ranging from some that were used by the
ancient Egyptians to stich as have been found among the Negroes in
this country; and, a third, a collection of oriental manuscripts (Ko-
ran, a Samaritan Pentateuch, and parts of the Ethiopic Scriptures)
belonging to the S. S. Howland collection.

A series of photogravures and prints arranged on either side of the
high altar in the center gallery supplements and completes the relig-
ious exhibit on the gallery.

In the rotunda two colossal wooden images of Vishnu and Buddha,
both from Ceylon, attract the attention of the visitor. The rotunda
also contains the splendid S. S. Howland collection of Buddhist re-
ligious art; already mentioned. Assembled by Mr. Howland during
his travels abroad, which extended from Iceland to Burma, most of
the objects were obtained by him from their original possessors.
Among its contents are a considerable number of Buddha images in
teakwood, bronze, and alabaster, gilded and incrusted with colored
stones; several lacquered shrines containing figures of Buddha and
attendants; figures of Buddhist saints (arhats) and monks, orna-
mental begging bowls; two superb bronze temple lamps of open fret-
work, about 4 feet in height, from Tibet; a sacred book written on
palm leaves; a howdah, or saddle, of the sacred white elephant; the
cabinet of the King of Burma, of carved open woodwork, gilded and
inlaid with pieces of glass; and some Chinese and Japanese lacquered
and porcelain figures.

74 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

A considerable collection of casts of Greco-Roman sculptures, in-
cluding statues and busts of the divinities, as also votive and sepul-
chral steles and tablets and bas-reliefs depicting mythological scenes,
is exhibited in the new building of the Museum in connection with the
display by the division of archeology.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.

One of the most popular and interesting of the subjects embodied
in the classification of 1881 is that relating to instruments of music,
of which a very good presentation, comprising examples from both
aboriginal and civilized peoples, was soon effected. The collection
now illustrates fairly well the range and development of these in-
struments and ranks among the best and most comprehensive in this
country. In fact, in many instances, especially as to scientific ar-
rangement, it has been used as a prototype by other museums. After
occupying for a long period the wall cases in the north hall, under
unfavorable conditions, it was transferred near the close of last
year to the northwest court, where the collection as a whole, as well
as the individual pieces, may be studied more advantageously. The
new installation is in the deep and practically continuous wall case
which surrounds the court, broken only at the entrance and in the
middle of the opposite side of the room, the latter for the insertion
of one large piece of the series. Wiuth only table cases on the adjacent
parts of the floor, the general view is unobstructed and the hghting
excellent. The number of instruments displayed is about 1,200, but
there are still others in storage.

The classification, based upon the structure of the instruments,
which determines the character of the sound-producing vibrations,
is in four general divisions. The arrangement of the collection be-
gins on the left of the entrance and is continued systematically with
but a single exception. The first division comprises the vibrating
sonorous instruments, such as bells, castanets, cymbals, gongs, musi-
cal glasses, rattles, triangles, tuning forks, vibrating tohgues, and
xylophones. In the second division are comprehended the vibrat-
ing membranes, as in the drums and tambourines. Vibrating strings
of gut, fiber, or wire compose the third division, which is subdivided
into open and stopped strings. In the former—the harp, for exam-
ple—the string can have but one tone in playing, while in the latter
the tone may be changed by means of the fingerboard. There are
also further subdivisions, according to the method of producing the
vibrations. Strings may be rubbed with a bow, as with fiddles, or
rubbed by a wheel, as with hurdy-gurdies, or picked or plucked, as
with harps, lyres, psalteries, lutes, guitars, and banjos. Spinets and
harpsichords are plucked by means of mechanism connected to a
keyboard, dulcimers are plucked by striking with hammers, and

a

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. (5

clavichords and pianos are played by means of a keyboard. The
highest development of stringed instruments is shown in the stopped
class, whose arrangement admits of shades of expression. The fourth
and last division, covering vibrating columns or currents of air,. is
subdivided, according to the method by which the air is set in vibra-
tion, into flutes, whistles, etc.; horns, simple, with finger holes, keys
or slides; and reeds which are single or double, and further distin-
guished as beating reeds, free reeds, ribbon reeds, and inverted double
reeds.

This classification is simple and easily grasped by the visitor, and
it will be seen that instruments which are preferred by both civilized
and uncivilized peoples may be grouped together and the different
materials and styles of art form an interesting picture. Upon no
other possession of man has there been a greater effort to render
grateful to the sight objects designed for another purpose. Es-
pecially worthy of note is an old English pipe organ which was
brought to the Virginia colony in 1700 for the Episcopal Church at
Port Royal, and later placed in Christ Church, Alexandria, where
it is thought to have been in use when Washington was an attendant.
It was subsequently taken to Shepardstown and thence to St. Thomas
Church at Hancock, Md., where it remained until 1906, when it
was presented to the Museum by the vestry.

OPERATIONS OF THE YEAR.
APPROPRIATIONS.
The maintenance and operations of the National Museum for the
year covered by this report, namely, from July 1, 19138, to June 30,

1914, inclusive, were provided for by the following items of ap-
propriation in the sundry civil act approved June 23, 1913:

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT.

The greatest extent of repair work was demanded by the Smith-
sonian building, some parts of which, especially the roofs and win-
dows at the western end, were badly damaged by the storm of July 30,
1913. About 400 running feet of the old and worn-out copper gutters
on the main section of the building were also replaced with the best
quality of tin, which, if kept painted, should give no further trouble.
In the interior of this building terrazzo pavement was substituted for
the old splintered wooden floors in the west hall and connecting
range, and the walls and ceilings in the same halls, which-had be-
come much defaced, largely from the heavy downpour of rain in the
great storm, were repainted.

With regard to the older Museum building, the exterior work was
almost wholly confined to the roofs, and consisted, besides miscel-
laneous repairs, of the painting of all exposed metal surfaces, includ-
ing the cornices, pinnacles, ornaments, etc. The principal repairs
in the interior were in the direction of pointing up and repainting
damaged and defaced walls and ceilings, and painting the woodwork
of windows, mainly in the exhibition halls. In the new building the
interior repairs were entirely of a miscellaneous and minor character.
Exteriorly the woodwork of all windows in the ground and third
stories was painted, and also some of the metal windows in other

stories. The roofs and gutters likewise received some attention.

78 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

The power plant was closed down as usual during July and August,
and the electric current required during that period was purchased
from a local producing company at the low summer rate of 24 cents
a kilowatt hour. This arrangement, which was an exceedingly
economical one, gave opportunity for overhauling and cleaning the
plant and putting it in good condition for the remainder of the year,
but no actual repairs of great moment were called for. During this
time the employees connected with the operation of the plant were
also given the greater part of their annual leave. Owing to an in-
crease of about 80 cents a ton in the cost of coal, there was a distinct
increase during the year in the relative cost of heating and of gen-
erating electric current, as also in the minor operations connected
with the plant, but, on the other hand, much less current was required
to be generated than during either of the two previous years. ‘The
amount of coal, entirely bituminous, consumed in the boilers was
2,936 tons, and steam was generated for heating purposes from Octo-
ber 13 to May 5, inclusive. Further changes have been made and are
still in progress in connection with the distribution of steam to the
older main buildings and the outlying buildings, whereby greater
economy and more satisfactory results are certain to be obtained.
The ice plant continues to give satisfaction, and its capacity is fully
equal to the needs of the Museum. The output of ice for the year was
346.8 tons, at a total cost of $867.92, or a rate of $2.55 a ton.

The watch clock system in the two older buildings, which had been
in use for nearly a third of a century and had in many respects be-
come unreliable, was replaced by one similar to that recently installed
in the new building. The clock records cover a period of 24 hours
with spacings at 5-minute intervals; there are 24 magneto generator
stations and connections with 2 Mutual District Messenger Co.’s
turn-in boxes, 1 in each building. All of the stations are required
to be visited and a call sent in from each at regular intervals during
the night rounds of the watchmen, which insures a positive record
that all parts of the buildings have been inspected at the times fixed by
the regulations. The fire alarm system used in the older Museum
building was extended to the-Smithsonian building by establishing
3 turn-in stations, 1 in the middle of the building and 1 at each
end, and installing a fire alarm gong at the north entrance. The sys-
tems in the two buildings are connected. The addition of automatic
elevator door controls to the passenger elevators, referred to in the
last report, was completed for both the north and south elevators.

The principal articles of furniture obtained during the year con-
sisted of 230 exhibition cases, 278 storage cases and pieces of labora-
tory furniture, 124 pieces of office and miscellaneous furniture, 2,396
unit specimen drawers of wood, 600 insect drawers, and 2,175 miscel-
laneous specimen drawers. The greater part of this furniture was

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 79

constructed under contract, the remainder being built in the Museum
shops, which were also called upon for much miscellaneous and repair
work. A number of old cases and other articles which had outlived
their usefulness were condemned and disposed of. An inventory of
the furniture on hand at the close of the year records 3,561 exhibition
cases, 6,848 storage cases and pieces of laboratory furniture, 3,361
pieces of office and miscellaneous furniture, 40,056 unit specimen
drawers of wood, 4,/12 unit specimen drawers of steel, 8,439 insect
drawers, and 19,751 miscellaneous specimen drawers and boxes of
various kinds.

A decision having been reached as to a form of curtain suitable
for the large windows in the exhibition halls in the new building,
such as were most urgently required were installed during the year.
The necessity for the use of curtains arises from the failure of the
ground glass to sufliciently protect the colors of specimens, more espe-
cially in the zoological and ethnological exhibits. Difficulty was
-encountered because of the exceptionally large size of the windows
and of the fact that each contains two large movable panes near the
bottom which require to be kept open in warm weather. In accord-
ance with the system adopted, the main curtains on the first floor, of
unbleached muslin, reach from the window top to the upper level of
the ventilating openings, and are followed by shorter curtains cover-
ing the lower part of the windows. In the second floor, however, the
curtains, also of the same material, extend continuously the entire
length of the window. All are hung on nickel-plated brass rods and
are in pairs, with a simple device for pulling them to the sides.
Curtains of this character were installed on the south and west sides
of both floors west of the south pavilion and in the court windows
adjoining the collections of zoology and ethnology. In addition, and
as a very necessary protection for the mammal and bird exhibits, thin
black curtains were introduced between the muslin curtains and the
glass surface of the windows on the first floor of the west wing and
on both sides of the adjoining range. These black curtains, which
practically cut out all of the light, are not intended to be used until
after the time for closing, or from 4.30 o’clock in the afternoon until
9 o’clock in the morning, during which period for a considerable part
of the year the sun’s rays continue effective during several hours.
It was also found necessary to provide cambric shades for the win-
dows in the north west range of the older Museum building, contain-
ing the period costume collection, in order to prevent the fading of
the delicate tints in many of the fabrics there displayed.

COLLECTIONS.

The number of accessions received during the year was 1,493,
comprising, besides certain loans, approximately 337,705 specimens,

80 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

which were apportioned among the respective branches to which they
pertained as follows: Anthropology, 14,879; zoology, 257,816; bot-
any, 44,675; geology and mineralogy, 3,648; paleontology, 13,045;
textiles and animal and vegetable products, 2,930; mineral tech-
nology, 505; and the National Gallery of Art, 207. Numerically,
the division of insects received much more than one-half the total
acquisitions, namely, over 214,000 specimens. The loans aggregated
2,280 objects, of which 112 consisted of paintings and other articles
for the National Gallery of Art, practically all the remainder being
intended for exhibition in the divisions of ethnology, archeology,
and history.

Material was also received for examination and report to the extent
of 859 separate lots, each containing a greater or less number of
specimens, of which 59 lots related to anthropological subjects, 249
to biological, and 551 to geological.

DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY,

Ethnology.—Of the 62 accessions in ethnology, the most notable
was a collection gathered by Dr. W. L. Abbott in northern Dutch
New Guinea, the Moluccas, and Ambon of the Ceram group, during
a trip on a trading vessel and while making landings to discharge
cargo. The results of this interesting journey, aggregating more
than 500 objects which reached the Museum as a gift, indicate that
Dr. Abbott’s time was most effectively employed. They comprise
baskets, mats of exquisite workmanship, bags, belts, necklaces, hair,
ear and breast ornaments, bark clothing, carved wooden dishes,
stone mauls, adzes, bows, arrows, shields, carved and painted canoe
prow ornaments, carved wood idols, spirit flutes, ete. A number of
baskets were also received from the Abbott expedition to eastern
Borneo, conducted by Mr. H. C. Raven. Probably the most thorough
ethnological collection that has come to the Museum from Alaska
was a series of over 6380 objects obtained on St. Lawrence Island, by
Dr. Riley D. Moore, of the Museum staff. It consists of clothing of
men, women, and children, a large number of hunting weapons,
models of houses, traps, domestic utensils, tools of all classes, ivory
carvings, drums, religious objects and paraphernalia, examples of
medicines, etc. Many articles of Siouan ethnologica assembled by
Miss Frances Densmore, of Red Wing, Minn., are of particular im-
portance since their locality and tribal origin are properly recorded,
making the specimens useful for identifying other material from the
Plains Indians regarding which the present data are incomplete.

Other noteworthy accessions relating to North America were a
series of bromide enlargements of American Indians from negatives
taken by Dr. Joseph K. Dixon during the Rodman Wanamaker
expedition, and presented by Mr. Wanamaker; a large number of

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 81

Indian baskets, bequeathed by Mrs. Mary Manning Fletcher; 19
Navaho blankets and 3 models of blanket frames assembled by the
late Dr. Washington Matthews, United States Army, and used by
him in the preparation of his work on Navaho weavers, published in
the Third Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology,
besides a number of miscellaneous objects, received as a loan from
Mrs. Matthews; many Mexican relics, consisting of ivory carvings,
crucifixes of wood, ivory and metal, and photographs of historical
subjects, lent by Maj. Harry S. Bryan, of Mexico City; and a col-
lection of various kinds of objects pertaining to the Spokane, Col-
ville, Okinagan, and Columbia Indians, lent by Mr. Clair Hunt, of
Colville, Wash. The division is indebted to Capt. J. R. Harris,
United States Army, for a gift of bows, arrows, swords, an alphabet
tablet, snares, boxes, etc., from the Moros of Mindanao; and to the
Museum fiir Volkerkunde, Leipzig, Germany, for a collection of
material from southeastern Africa, analogous to articles illustrated
in the important works of Prof. L. Frobenius, obtained in exchange.

The exhibition series received many additions and improvements.
The Hopi family group was completed and installed. The
Tehuelche family group, the Zuni potter, the Navaho silversmith, the
Navaho weaver, the Maya-Quiché and Apache subfamily groups,
and several single figures were transferred to the new cases specially
built for them, this work involving a considerable amount of repaint-
ing of figures and readjustment of groundwork. The Igorot group
and Kiowa children group were taken down preparatory to extensive
changes necessary to place them in a more satisfactory condition.
The synoptic series, illustrating the development of the several types
of artifacts, which had been in storage for a number of years, was
installed in 13 Cases, interspersed among the lay-figure group cases in
the east and west halls. Progress was also made in other directions,
improvements being carried out in installation, exhibits reassembled
more effectively and in more accurate geographical relations, and
many specimens repaired. Much time was also given to the prepa-
ration of case and individual labels, many hand-written ones being
used pending their printing.

Plans were made for and work actively begun on an ethnological
exhibition for the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco,
figures for two large family groups having been completed, and ma-
terials for four floor cases selected. The exhibit will cover a space
of approximately 6,000 square feet. The curator also undertook for
the Panama-California Exposition at San Diego the supervision of
the preparation of models of 10 village groups, illustrating the abo-
riginal architecture of North and South America. Five of these
groups were finished.

The curator, Dr. Walter Hough, continued the preparation of a
catalogue of the Hopi-Pueblo Indian collection, of which the

71159°—nat Mus 19146

82 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914,

National Museum has the largest in existence, and the manuscript is
expected to be ready for the press within a year. His bulletin on the
“ Culture of the Ancient Pueblos of the Upper Gila River Region,
New Mexico and Arizona,” was completed and published.

American archeology. Among the more important of the 49 ac-
cessions received by this division were the following: Mr. Chester W.
Washburne, collecting for the Smithsonian Institution, mainly in
old Indian camp sites and caves in the valleys of the Rio Negro and
Santa Cruz in Patagonia, South America, transmitted several hun-
dred specimens, including a roughly shaped mortar and pestle, a
disk-shaped rubbing stone, leaf-shaped blades, various chipped im-
plements of usual types and fragments of pottery vessels. An inter-
esting collection of flint implements, grooved axes, celts, leaf-shaped
blades, projectile points, and other stone objects from Jackson
County, Mo., was received as a gift from Mr. J. G. Braecklein, of
Kansas City; and a series of antiquities from Porto Rico, both
originals and casts, was obtained in exchange from Mr. George G.
Heye, of New York. Mr. Neil M. Judd, of the Museum staff, during
an investigation in Guatemala, secured a number of interesting
objects, including ancient pottery vessels, examples of earthenware
made in modern Guatemalan potteries and sold as antiquities, stone
implements, a modern ceremonial mask attributed to the Maya
Indians of Chiapas, a large woolen blanket woven by Quiché In-
dians, and two small wooden carvings, one of a friar, the other of
a cavalier, and both doubtless pertaining to the early Spanish occu-
pation of the country. A choice collection purchased of Mr. D. I.
Bushnell, jr., of Charlottesville, Va., comprises large chipped flint
blades from Missouri and Illinois, showing the polish of long-con-
tinued use in cultivating the soil; chipped celts and chisels with
ground cutting edges, from the same States and Tennessee; hematite
implements from Missouri, and other exceptionally fine specimens.
From Mrs. William Elroy Curtis, of Washington, a large series of
archeological objects was received as a loan. It includes clay spindle
whorls from the Valley of Mexico, a carved stone metate and muller
from Costa Rica, a string of beads made of rock crystal from Colom-
bia, and earthenware bottles, jars, cooking pots, bowls, figurines and
prayer sticks, wooden spindle whorls, a carved stone Mama, hairpins
of copper and silver, and other objects from Peru.

With the receipt of the additional cases required it was possible
to carry well toward completion the further work of selecting, ar-
ranging, and labeling the exhibition collections of the division,
which, as a presentation of the archeology of northern America,
stands unquestionably first in the world. Much attention was given to
the reserve collections, and for the first time the large accumulation

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 83

of molds of antiquities made during the past 50 years has been
properly assembled, classified, and labeled. Considerable time was
also devoted to the selection and listing of exchange material, six
important series of objects having been sent out or prepared for
sending. The work of the division was much increased during the
year by the necessity of engaging in the preparation of exposition
exhibits.

Research work was confined to the continuation by the head cura-
tor of the preparation of text and illustrations for the handbook of
American antiquities which is intended for publication by the
Bureau of American Ethnology. Extended studies, however, were
made by Mr. Kenneth M. Chapman, of Santa Fe, N. Mex., who is
collecting data regarding the evolution of ornamental designs as
applied to earthenware, and the examination of specimens by other
students was carried on to a limited extent.

Old World archeology—Although limited in number the acces-
sions of the year contained a considerable amount of exceptionally
valuable material. Most prominent among them, received us a gift
from Mr. 8S. W. Woodward, of Washington, was a drawing in color
of a mosaic map of Palestine and adjacent regions, the original of
which formed the floor of an old church in Medeba, a town in the
former territory of Moab, often mentioned in the Old Testament.
The work dates from the fifth or sixth century A. D., and is not
only the oldest map of Palestine known, but also the oldest detailed
map of any country. Unfortunately, on the occasion of the rebuild-
ing of the church in 1896, when the mosaic was discovered, it was
much damaged, but the portion preserved includes most of the places
connected with Bible history from Nablus in the north to the Nile
in the south. Of perhaps equal interest was a collection of ancient
coins and other objects made by the Rev. C. 8S. Sanders while living
as a missionary in Beirut, Syria, and lent by his daughter, Mrs.
John Paul Tyler, of Baltimore, Md. It comprises, among other
items, 19 Greek coins of Alexander the Great and bis successors in
Syria, 66 Greco-Roman coins—that is to say, coins issued by the
Greek communities of Syria and Asia Minor under Reman sover-
eignty—34 coins of the Byzantine Empire, 1 Phoenician coin, 8
Armenian coins, 45 Mohammedan coins of the Turcoman dynasties
of the eleventh to the thirteenth centuries in central and western
Asia, and 1 medal of St. George; besides 3 Persian and 4 Syro-
Phoenician seals, 2 Syro-Phoenician bronze animal figurines, and 1
Egyptian scarab. <A series of Egyptian antiquities presented by the
Egypt Exploration Fund, through Mr. 8. W. Woodward, a con-
tributor to the Fund, includes an Egyptian limestone stele of Neb-
sum-menu, measuring 143 by 84 inches, 3 well-preserved mummies
of the ibis, a pithos, 2 other funerary vases, and the eggshell of
an ibis.

84 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

Valuable relics of the Stone Age in Europe, consisting of 51
originals and 17 casts of pre-paleolithic and 74 paleolithic imple-
ments of Chellean stages of the paleolithic period, were received in
exchange from Prof. A. Rutot, of the Royal Museum of Natural His-
tory of Belgium. A collection of antiquities, also obtained in ex-
change, from the Zoological Museum of the University of Copen-
hagen, Denmark, through Mr. Herluf Winge, director, comprises
65 stone implements, 47 shells, 2 pottery fragments, and 1 bone needle,
from the kitchen middens of Denmark, and 59 animal bones from
the kitchen middens of Iceland. Sixty-four paleolithic flints (Mous-
terian type), 10 animals bones and 1 piece of breccia from the La
Quina cave, France, were contributed by Dr. Henri Martin, of Paris,
France; and a collection of early stone implements recently found in
two caves of Jersey, England, were presented by Dr. R. R. Marett,
of Exeter College, Oxford, England.

The routine work was chiefly a continuation of the sorting and
arrangement of the material of the Stone Age, including the prepa-
ration of a slip inventory containing the necessary data for the card
catalogue and labels. The addition of 16 table cases entailed the
rearrangement of a part of the exhibition series and permitted a
better and more adequate display of the collections. About 300
ancient coins were determined and installed, and a considerable
amount of material, especially of the Stone Age, which could not be
exhibited, was placed in the bases of exhibition cases, where it is
convenient for study and reference.

Physical anthropology.—The accessions deserving of special notice,
arranged somewhat in the order of their importance, were as follows:
A collection of skeletons and skulls of Eskimo and Aleuts made for
the Museum, under the direction of the curator, by Dr. Riley D.
Moore; 21 crania of Buriats, the most important native tribe of cen-
tral Siberia, and 5 Mongolian crania from the vicinity of Kiakhta,
obtained for the Museum by Prof. A. V. BartaSov, of Troickosavsk,
Siberia; 16 anatomical specimens and 12 casts of the brains of
prominent persons, received in exchange from Prof. D, P. von Hanse-
mann, of the Rudolf Virchow-Krankenhaus, Berlin, Germany; 5
skeletons and 2 skulls from Tennessee and Alabama, presented by
Mr. Clarence B. Moore, of Philadelphia, Pa.; and 10 recent skulls,
with 6 old skeletons and 2 skulls, from the district of Mélnik, Bohemia,
collected for the Museum by Prof. J. Matiegka, of the Bohemian
University, at Prague. Three valuable additions were made to the
collection of casts of early man in Europe. They consisted of the
skeletal remains of the Spy Man, obtained in exchange from the
Université de Liége, Belgium, through Prof. Charles Fraipont, con-
servator of its museum; a cast of the La Quina skull, also an ex-
change, from Dr, Henri Martin, of Paris, France; and a cast of the

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 85

skull of La Chapelle-aux-Saints and of its brain cavity, purchased
from Dr. F. Krantz, of Bonn, Germany. Three skulls of Pata-
gonians were received as a gift from Mr. Chester W. Washburne,
of Washington; and a neolithic skull from Belgium was presented
by Prof. A. Rutot, director, Musée d’Histoire Naturelle de Belgique,
Brussels.

Considerable progress was made in cleaning, repairing, cata-
loguing, and arranging the large Peruvian and other collections
assembled during the last four years. Every specimen received by
the division in recent years has also been examined by the curator,
identified as to sex, and its principal characteristics noted, so that
the catalogue of the division is gradually becoming more than a mere
enumeration. The selection of especially valuable specimens for
exhibition has likewise received attention.

The investigations by the curator, Dr. Ale’ Hrdlicka, relative to
“thoroughbred” white Americans, namely, those of at least three
generations in this country on each side, was continued, but, owing
to scarcity and comparative inaccessibility of subjects, another two
years may be required for their completion. They promise results
of much interest. A special study undertaken was one bearing on
the history of physical anthropology in America, and more particu-
larly in the United States, designed in part for presentation at the
forthcoming Congress of Americanists and in part for use in the
preparation of the “ Handbook of Physical Anthropology,” which
will be published by the Bureau of American Ethnology. The main
research work of the year, however, was that involved in completing
the memoir on the “ Oldest Authentic Skeletal Remains of Man”
in existence, which is being printed in the annual report of the
Smithsonian Institution. The curator also made three shorter
reports, as follows: On two crania from Saline Creek, Mo., for
Mr. D. I. Bushnell, jr.; on parts of crania and skeletons from Lake
Worth, Fla., for Mr. O. Randolph; and on recent skeletal collections
from Tennessee, for Mr. Clarence B. Moore.

Among persons who visited the division for purposes of study or
for instruction were Dr. Ernest A. Hooton, of the Peabody Museum
of Harvard University; Dr. James 8. Foote, of Creighton Medical
College, Omaha, Nebr.; Dr. M. Reicher, of the Anatomical Labora-
tory of Johns Hopkins University; Prof. George F. Eaton, of Yale
University; Dr. R. W. Shufeldt and Dr. C. A. Hawley, of Washing-
ton; Dr. G. Werley, of El Paso, Tex.; Dr. W. W. Evans, of Hamil-
ton, Va.; Mr. Ralph Linton, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. G. Hardy
Clark and Dr. Margaret V. Clark, of Waterloo, Iowa; and Dr.
George A. Wilson, of Cleveland, Ohio.

Mechanical technology—The addition of 20 models of steamboat
propellers, made from descriptions and drawings furnished by the

86 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914,

Museum, to the series already on hand greatly increased the impor-
tance of the exhibit illustrating the development of the screw pro-
peller from 1681 to 1890. A circular sundial adapted for the latitude
of Peking, China, 40° north, was received as a gift from Mr. Claude
L. Woolley, of Baltimore, Md. It is entirely inscribed in Chinese
characters, including the motto ‘“ With ceremony he delivered to the
people the reckoning of time,” taken from the Book of History, and
referring to the work of Yao, who first introduced the republican
form of government into China, about 2000 B. C. For these in-
scriptions both Mr. Woolley and the Museum are indebted to Mr.
Yung Kwai, counselor of the Chinese Legation at Washington. A
gold medal presented to Joshua Follensbee, chief engineer, United
States Navy, by the Chamber of Commerce and citizens of New
York, in commemoration of the part taken by him in laying the
first submarine telegraph cable between England and America, in
1858, was lent by Mr. Frank Follensbee, of Clarendon, Va.; and a set
of German coin scales made by Johann Daniel Ellinghaus, in
Radevormwalde, Germany, which had been in the possession of
the Lindinger family, of Buckeburg, Germany, for about 250 years,
was purchased.

The following firearms were presented: One Ross magazine sport-
ing rifle, model of 1910, caliber .28, the magazine holding four car-
tridges, by the Ross Rifle Co., of Quebec, Canada; one Savage maga-
zine sporting rifle, caliber .22, the magazine holding six cartridges,
by the Savage Arms Co., of Utica, N. Y.; one Remington repeating
rifle, caliber .30, with tubular magazine holding six cartridges, and
one Remington autoloading, five-shot, repeating rifle, caliber .35, by
the Remington Arms-Union Metallic Cartridge Co., of Ilion, N. Y.;
one Winchester repeating rifle, model of 1894, caliber .30, with tubu-
lar magazine holding eight cartridges, and one Winchester repeating
rifle, model of 1895, caliber .405, with box magazine holding four
cartridges, by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co., of New Haven,
Conn.; and a single-barrel pistol, caliber .50, percussion cap lock,
double set-trigger, Damascus barrel, marked “ Dumas A Lyon,” and
a double-action revolver, caliber .45, marked “G. Mercenier,” by
Rutgers Ives Hurry, of New York. The War Department deposited
a United States Army magazine rifle, caliber .30, model of 1903, with
improvements to 1914; and five guns, a gun barrel, and a case con-
taining gun barrels were received as a bequest from Miss Lucy H.
Baird.

The collections of the division have undergone much change in
location and arrangement, with attendant improvement in conven-
ience and effectiveness. They now occupy the north east range, the
east hall, the nortly east court, and portions of the south east range
and west hall. Eighteen upright floor cases received during the year

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 87

have been advantageously used for the reinstallation of important
exhibits.

The large collections illustrating the beginning and development
of the Bell telephone; those representing the inventions of Mr. Emile
Berliner in the subjects of telephones and talking machines; the
original electrical apparatus invented by Mr. Elihu Thomson, and
the experimental apparatus relating to various phases of electrical
art devised by Mr. Moses G. Farmer, have been properly grouped,
installed in new cases, and provided with suitable labels. The exhi-
bition of historical United States Army rifles and muskets, covering
the period from 1800 to the present time, was removed to the north-
east court, where the other arms have also been systematically ar-
ranged, and decided advance is being made in the presentation of this
subject, which is rapidly growing in interest. The Langley aero-
drome engine, the Scott phonautograph, the Elihu Thomson arc-
light dynamo, the Haynes automobile engine, and the cream sepa-
rators were installed in separate cases; while the original Haynes
gasoline automobile, the Balzer gasoline automobile, the models of
Octave Chanute’s gliders, and Dr. A. F. Zahm’s experimental aero-
dynamic models were arranged in a single large wall case. In all
classes of exhibits new labels are being provided, and this important
work is being pressed as rapidly as the facilities for printing allow.

Ceramics.—Owing to lack of space and of opportunity for organ-
izing and appropriately displaying collections of objects in metal
and glass, as well as in certain other classes of small art work, these
subjects have continued to be mainly associated and exhibited with
ceramics in the gallery of the northeast court in the older Museum
building. It is hoped, however, that a more satisfactory arrange-
ment can soon be brought about.

The following were the principal additions of the year: Seven-
teen objects, including 2 Moorish platters, 2 large Chinese vases, a
Satsuma vase, a Japanese porcelain dish, a large bronze Japanese
vase, and a Japanese mythological figure in bronze, received as a
bequest from Miss Lucy H. Baird; 12 pieces of enamel and terra
cotta, from the estate of the late Homer N. Lockwood, of Wash-
ington; 4 pieces of pottery from the Grand Feu Pottery Co., of Los
Angeles, Cal., presented by the potter, Mr. Cornelius Brauckman;
and an Italian silver filigree bonbon basket of superior workman-
ship, received as a gift from Miss Christine W. Biddle, of Philadel-
phia, Pa. The following loans were from residents of Washington:
Twenty-three pieces of English pink luster ware of the eighteenth
century, from Mrs. Alfred S. Gillett; and 11 pieces of Bohemian glass
and a decorated terra-cotta pitcher of Doulton ware, from Miss
Jennie M. Griswold.

88 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

Graphic arts —The more important contributions were as follows,
namely: Materials demonstrating the process of making three-color
half-tone plates, from the Zeese-Wilkinson Co., of New York; an
exhibit containing half-tone screens from 50 to 400 lines to the inch,
and a circular screen for color work, from Mr. Max Levy, of Phila-
delphia, Pa.; a Bruce type-casting machine and a hand mold repre-
senting the early methods of type casting, from the American Type
Founders Co., of Jersey City, N. J.; examples of rotary intaglio
printing, the first made in this country, as well as later develop-
ments of the American patents, from Mr. Charles W. Saalburg, of
New York; a collection illustrating the process of and the materials
used in the manufacture of printing ink, from Philp Ruxton,
of St. Paul, Minn.; an autochrome plate with progressive proofs of
the same made by the Colorplate Engraving Co., from Dr. Ulysses
S. Kahn, of New York; and 91 engraved bookplates from the estate
of C. W. Sherborn, the engraver, through his brother, Mr. Charles
Davies Sherborn, of London, England.

In view of the extensive changes in progress in the halls of the
Smithsonian building assigned to this division, not only was the
work of installation brought to a standstill, but it also became neces-
sary to place the greater part of the exhibition collection tempo-
rarily in storage. With the completion of the renovations and im-
provements, however, the conditions surrounding the exhibits should
be much improved. Notwithstanding the inconveniences thus oc-
casioned, much work was done upon the collections, including the
preparation, remounting, and labeling of display material.

The section of photography also came into possession of valuable
exhibition material. A collection of talbotypes, also called calotypes,
made by the inventor, Henry Fox Talbot, was presented by Mr.
C. H. Talbot, of Chippenham, England. A series of photographs of
stellar spectra, apparatus, etc., was contributed by the Harvard
College Observatory, through Prof. E. C. Pickering, director; and a
fine lot of photomicrographs of disease germs, illustrating the use
of photography in laboratory investigations at the Rockefeller In-
stitute for Medical Research, was received as a gift from that insti-
tute. The Alfred Stieglitz collection of pictorial photography was
purchased at a nominal price from Mr. Stieglitz, of New York, to
whom the Museum is greatly indebted. Mrs. Julian James, of Wash-
ington, presented a large series of graphoscopic and stereoscopic
views, and the Eastman Kodak Co., of Rochester, N. Y., con-
tributed an excellent representation of the history of the hand
camera. Through the kind offices of Mr. George W. Harris, of
Washington, a portrait from each of nine of the leading portrait
photographers of the country was secured to form a group illustra-
tive of professional portraiture.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 89

The installation of the photographic exhibition, which occupies
the gallery of the northwest court in the older Museum building, was
so nearly completed for the material on hand that it was opened to
the public late in June, 1913. The leading features of this important
display are described elsewhere.

Medicine—No progress of any moment has recently been made in
this important division, either in the matter of acquiring new ma-
terial or of further classifying and arranging the collections, owing
to lack of means. Dr. James M. Flint, United States Navy, retired,
the originator of the collection and for a quarter of a century its hon-
orary curator, left the material in excellent condition when he re-
linquished his position two years ago. Since then every effort has
been made to prevent deterioration, pending the time when the af-
fairs of the division can again be actively taken up. The precau-
tions which this entails have been under the direction of Dr. Walter
Hough, who has personally given attention to many of the details.
The collections were consulted last year, as they had been in the past,
by members of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agri-
culture, but with a proper organization of the division the import-
ance of its possessions and opportunities will certainly receive wide-
spread recognition.

Musical instruments——Of the few accessions received by this sec-
tion only one was especially noteworthy. This is a violano-virtuoso,
an instrument which mechanically plays a violin with piano accom-
paniment. It is a high product of modern inventive skill, which
has succeeded in rendering violin music of great complexity in the
style and purity of an artist, and came as a gift from the Mills Nov-
elty Co., of Chicago, Il.

The collection of musical instruments, through a slow but con-
stant growth, has now reached a stage where it is to be regarded
as of exceptional importance. For many years it occupied the wall
cases at the sides of the main hall of history, where it was much
crowded and so concealed that its extent and value could not be
appreciated by the public. Many instruments, moreover, had of
necessity to be retained in storage. Near the close of last year,
however, the collection was reinstalled in the wall cases surrounding
the northwest court, where the pieces may be well observed, though
they require to be better labeled. Mr. E. H. Hawley, who has the
custody of the musical instruments, has completed through the
letter “T” the catalogue of terms used and has begun a review of
the instruments of the open hammered string class.

History.—The division of history was the recipient of many ac-
cessions, some of which were of much value, and an exceptionally
large percentage were permanent acquisitions. Of special interest
is a wine cooler of heavy silver plate, containing two bottle holders,

90 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

which had been a gift from George Washington to Oliver Wol-
cott, Secretary of the United States Treasury in 1795-1800. This
piece of tableware, one of a number of the same style imported by
Washington from France, is of an elliptical urn shape and is deco-
rated on either side, at the top, with a lion’s head, from which de-
pends a small silver handle, the entire design being typical of the
eighteenth century. Lent by Miss Emily Tuckerman, of Washington,
granddaughter of Oliver Wolcott, it has been added to the large
collection of Washington relics already in the Museum. Four
American chairs of the period of the Revolution, two of which were
owned by Maj. Gen. Philip Schuyler of the Continental Army,
and two by Alexander Hamilton, besides two mahogany side tables
and a half-round mahogany table belonging to Alexander Hamilton,
and a small work table belonging to Mrs. Hamilton, were generously
presented by Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, of Great Barrington,
Mass., grandson of Alexander Hamilton. With the exception of the
small table last mentioned, these articles of furniture were already
in the possession of the Museum as a loan. <A collection of relics
of Rear Admiral Charles Wilkes, United States Navy, consisting
of a handsomely jeweled sword and scabbard, presented to him by
the city of Boston in 1862 in recognition of his services in the de-
tention of the British steamer 7rent; a gold medal, awarded him
by the Royal Geographical Society of London in 1868 in recog-
nition of his services to science; a service sword carried by him while
on the United States exploring expedition, 1838-1842; a uniform
hat and epaulets, worn by him during the same period, together
with a number of minor relics of the same expedition, were received
as a gift from Miss Jane Wilkes, of Washington, daughter of the
admiral. The original manuscript application for a pension and
related papers, filed by Aaron Burr in 1834 before Richard Riker,
recorder of the city of New York, for services rendered as an officer
of the Continental Army during the War of the Revolution, were
deposited by the Department of the Interior. Accompanying the
application is a copy of a letter from Gen. Washington to Lieut.
Col. Burr, dated October 26, 1778, giving the latter permission to
retire from the service with pay until his health is reestablished.
The facts in the application are attested to by the affidavits of David
S. Bogart and Robert Hunter, of New York. The sword of Brig.
Gen. Strong Vincent, United States Volunteers, carried by him from
April, 1861, until July 2, 1863, when he was mortally wounded
while in command of a brigade defending Little Round Top, at
Gettysburg, was presented by Mrs. Elizabeth C. Vincent, of
Chicago, Il.

Through the bequest of Miss Lucy H. Baird, the division came into
possession of a number of personal relics of her distinguished father,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 91

Prof. Spencer F. Baird, the director of the affairs of the National
Museum during the first 37 years of its existence. Among them were
the instruments used by Prof. Baird in his research work, including
microscopes, a spectroscope, various types of magnifying lenses, and
other articles of the same general character; the decoration of the
Order of St. Olaf conferred upon Prof. Baird by the King of Sweden
and Norway in recognition of his services to science; and a table
napkin used by Napoleon I during his banishment to Elba, a gift to
Prof. Baird by an American friend of the then exile. By the will
of the late Homer N. Lockwood, of Washington, the Museum received
a unique and valuable collection of 152 walking canes, gathered from
nearly all parts of the world and including much of particular inter-
est both historically and as to workmanship. Mention may specially
be made of a gold-mounted cane presented to Grover Cleveland by
the Swiss Helvetia Society, of Elgin, Ill.; an ivory-headed cane given
to William H. Seward on his visit to Alaska in 1869; and a silver-
mounted cane belonging to Capt. (Rear Admiral) Charles D. Sigs-
bee, United States Navy, while in command of the U. S. battleship
Maine. The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America
made a number of additions to its already large and interesting col-
lection deposited in the Museum.

The collection of postage stamps, stamped envelopes, and postal
cards was increased by deposits from the Post Office Department to
the extent of about 10,000 pieces, comprising all recent issues by the
countries in the Universal Postal Union. The coin and medal col-
lection also received many valuable additions; and the bequest of Miss
Lucy H. Baird included about 400 photographs of scientific men,
which were incorporated in the portrait collection.

The offices of the division, formerly occupying two small rooms
at one side of the north entrance, were moved to more commodious
quarters in the west tower, where the work called for in the various
sections can more satisfactorily be carried on. The collections are
reported in good condition, though in some directions their safety is
difficult to maintain owing to the quantity of material, especially of
fabrics, subject to the attack of insect pests.

An important task begun near the close of the year was the
renovation and placing in what is intended to be a permanent state
of preservation of “The Star-Spangled Banner” of Fort McHenry,
lent to the Museum some seven years ago, and last year made an
absolute gift by its owner, Col. Eben Appleton, of New York. When
writing the story of this flag, Rear Admiral George Henry Preble,
_who had it in his possession for a short time, caused it to be mounted
on a piece of rather heavy canvas, to which it was only partly at-
tached. This light and much frayed piece of bunting is now being
fastened to a backing of Irish linen in the same manner as were the

92 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

old fiags at the Annapolis Academy a short time ago; that is to say,
by means of a peculiar net stitch which covers the entire surface of
the fabric and thus reduces to a minimum the strain on any one part
of the flag. The silk thread that is being used for this purpose is
dyed to match exactly the color it is worked over, and at a short
distance the net covering is scarcely apparent.

It is also interesting to note the public installation in the north-
west court of the older building of the coin and medal collections,
ageregating over 6,000 examples which had previously been in stor-
age. The installation of the stamp collection, which has been rap-
idly advanced, is also being made in the same court.

The paper on the Washington relics preserved in the Museum, by
the assistant curator of the division, Mr. T. 'T. Belote, was completed,
but its publication is delayed by the necessity of incorporating refer-
ences to material lately acquired. Mr. Stanley Arthurs, who has
been commissioned by the General Assembly of Delaware to execute
for the senate chamber in Wilmington a mural painting showing the
Delaware troops leaving Dover during the War of the Revolution,
made a special study of the uniforms and costumes of that period in
order that his pictorial work might be based on authentic data.

Period costumes.—Mrs. Julian James and Mrs. R. R. Hoes con-
tinued, with their customary zeal, their self-appointed task of secur-
ing materials for the period costume collection, and during most of
the year they were closely occupied in arranging the interesting fab-
rics and other articles which had been received. The results of their
labors, successful and most brilliant in effect, have already been de-
scribed, and there only remains to be accounted for in this connection
the many and valuable contributions of the year.

Of costumes of ladies of the White House, forming the central and
most prominent feature of the exhibition and including some acces-
sories, six were received. One was a gift, the others being loans. In
the order of presidential administrations these contributions were as
follows: A dress, kid slippers, a fan and pearl beads, worn by Mrs.
John Adams, received from Miss Susan E. Osgood, of Salem, Mass.
A Watteau dress, in two pieces, of pale blue silk embroidered with
straw, worn by Mrs. Maria Hester Monroe Gouverneur, youngest
daughter of President Monroe, received from Miss Maud C. Gouver-
neur. An old gold satin bodice, with blonde lace overdress and
flounce, worn by Mrs. Andrew Jackson Donelson, niece of Mrs. Jack-
son, and mistress of the White House during President Jackson’s ad-
ministration, together with a tortoise-shell comb and silver filigree
cardease of Mrs. Jackson, and an invitation to the Jackson ball,
Nashville, 1828, addressed to Mrs. Donelson, received from Miss
Mary R. Wilcox, of Chevy Chase, Md., granddaughter of Mrs.
Donelson. A blue velvet dress, lace fichu, lace and embroidered

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 93

handkerchief and fan which had belonged to Mrs. Sarah Angelica
Van Buren, wife of President Van Buren’s son, received from
Mrs. Helen Coles Singleton Green, of Columbia, S. C. A dress of
mole-colored velvet worn by Mrs. Jane Irwin Findlay, wife of Gen.
James Findlay, one of the mistresses of the White House during the
administration of William Henry Harrison, received from Mrs. Wil-
liam Torrence Handy, of Cynthiana, Ky. <A dress of blue brocaded
satin made by Worth in 1844 and worn by Mrs. James K. Polk,
presented by Mrs. George W. Fall, of Nashville, Tenn., the niece and
adopted daughter of Mrs. Polk.

As further relating to the White House, the Museum is indebted
to Mrs. R. R. Hoes and Miss Maud C. Gouverneur, of Washington,
both jointly and individually, for the loan of many memorials of
President and Mrs. Monroe. Among the articles, which are too
numerous to specify in full in this connection, are a mahogany side
chair, red satin footstool, a standing dresser mirror, and a Chippen-
dale table brought from France by Mr. and Mrs. Monroe in 1796;
a superb silver chocolate pitcher and cream jug, and the only piece of
Monroe china known to be now in existence; a number of badges,
chiefly of the American and French revolutions; many pieces of
jewelry, including articles pertaining to personal attire; a letter
written by James Monroe on March 2, 1786, announcing his mar-
riage; and a dressmaker’s bill made out to Martha Washington and
several articles which had belonged to Mrs. Maria Hester Monroe
Gouverneur, including her seal.

Dresses other than those pertaining to the White House were
received as loans, as follows: The wedding dress of Mrs. Porter,
wife of Rear Admiral D. D. Porter, United States Navy, March,
1839, from Mrs. Charles H. Campbell, of Washington; a black velvet
gown and the robes worn by the celebrated American actress, Char-
lotte S. Cushman, in her impersonation, respectively, of Catharine
and Cardinal Wolsey in Henry VIII, from Mrs. Allerton S. Cush-
man, of Washington; two dresses of Mrs. Charlotte R. Myers Jack-
son, together with slippers, gloves, and lava jewelry, from Miss Fan-
nie A. Jackson, of Yonkers, N. Y.; a purple satin dress of Mrs. Sat-
terlee, wife of Bishop Henry Yates Satterlee, from Mrs. Satterlee,
of Washington; the wedding dress and an evening gown of Mrs.
Dewey, wife of Admiral George Dewey, United States Navy, from
Mrs. Dewey.

A loan of exceptional interest, mainly associated with colonial
times in Philadelphia, received from Mrs. Thomas Hamilton Wilson
and Miss Abercrombie, of Washington, contains a bodice and the
material of the skirt of a white satin dress embroidered in rose buds,
which was worn by Mrs. Patterson, wife of Gen. Robert Patterson,
as hostess at a ball given in Philadelphia in honor of Gen. Lafayette,

94 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

lace fichus, and an apron and capes of tambale embroidery, besides
other articles of wearing apparel, a sample of early quilting, fans,
etc. A large collection from Mrs. Julian James is especially note-
worthy as representing the history of an American family during
the period of a century past by a great variety of objects of costly
materials and fine workmanship. There are dresses, bonnets, laces,
gloves, and the various other classes of objects necessary to complete
the attire of the well-dressed woman, ornaments for the hair, jewelry
of many kinds, accessories for the street, toilet articles, and other
household belongings. The Misses Long also contributed a large
number of specimens which are especially important as showing the
exquisite needlework and great taste of our ancestors in providing
articles for their personal use. Their loan contains oriental crépe
material of a wedding dress imported about 1810, baby clothes, a
cap, a handkerchief, fans, slippers, stockings, lace sleeves, fichus,
household articles, a comb, sets of jewelry, a brooch, ete.

Exceptionally notable was a gift from Mrs. John Van Schaick, jr.,
of Washington, of 10 pieces of jewelry and 1 of ivory, which are both
intrinsically and artistically of much value. They were the property
of Julia Adelaide Tyson, wife of Benjamin F. Romaine, of New
York, and mother of Mrs. Van Schaick, and comprise bracelets, ear-
rings, and a brooch of Roman gold set with cameos and pearls, a
brooch with miniature on porcelain of Holbein’s Madonna, a pendant
of niosaic, an enameled brooch, a Limoges pendant of Henry IV, a
brooch set with a trilobite, and an ivory triptych of the fifteenth
century.

Among other loans of miscellaneous articles were 7 shawls of
Cashmere, crépe and lace veils, fans, brooches and other jewelry, a
Lowestoft tea caddy, badges, etc., from Mrs. E. L. McClelland, of
Washington; a locket with a picture of “ Peace,” period of 1812,
and a tortoise-shell back comb, from Mrs. Frank W. Clarke, of Wash-
ington; 3 bonnets of 1850 and a fur muff, from Mrs. Allan McLane,
of Washington; silver mugs, knives, forks, and spoons, period of
1860, besides needlework and wearing apparel, from Miss Jennie M.
Griswold; and 6 beautiful Spanish and French fans from Madame
Carlos Maria de Pena, wife of the minister from Uruguay. Three
fans, 2 cardcases, and a pair of jet bracelets contained in the bequest
of Miss Lucy H. Baird were assigned to this collection. Besides the
India shawls already referred to, 2 were received as a gift from
Miss L. L. Lander, of Washington, and 1, of the period of 1820-1840,
was presented by Commodore R. G. Davenport, United States Navy,
retired, while 1 was lent by Mrs. John FE. McElroy, of Albany, N. Y.

Work of the preparators.—In the general laboratory of the depart-
ment, which remains under the immediate direction of the head

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 95

curator, the varied activities connected with the building, modeling,
casting, painting, repairing, cleansing, and poisoning of exhibits
were carried on as usual. Mr. H. W. Hendley, for several years in
charge of this laboratory, resigned on July 19, 1913, and was suc-
ceeded by Mr. W. H. Egberts. Mr. R. A. Allen and Mr. T. W.
Sweeny were engaged in the division of ethnology, while in the sev-
eral other divisions the preparatorial work was attended to by the
curators, with such assistance as was needed. The volume of work
was greatly increased during the year, and much extra help required,
on account of the preparation of extensive exhibits for the Panama-
California Exposition and the Panama-Pacific Exposition, as well as
of the exchange arrangement with Prof. C. V. Hartman, of the
Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum, at Stockholm, Sweden. Mr. U.S. J.
Dunbar modeled a large number of figures for the family and indus-
trial groups; Mr. Hendley, subsequent to his separation from the
Museum, modeled and painted, under contract, plaster figures for
the historic costume exhibit; and Mr. Frank Micka made cases and
painted numerous figures for the expositions.

Exhibition collections —Steady progress was made with the exhi-
bition collections, except in the division of graphic arts, where the
renovation of the halls interrupted all operations. The more im-
portant and effective results were in connection with history, period
costumes, photography, and musical instruments. Permanent as-
signment of space has now been arranged for most subjects, the
exhibition material, so far as it can be supplied by the existing col-
lections, has been in great measure selected, the cases are largely
provided, and installation and labeling has been interrupted only by
the preparation of exposition and exchange exhibits.

Explorations —No member of the staff of the department found
time to engage in field work, except that the head curator spent two
days in visiting a very interesting aboriginal site near Luray, Va.,
on behalf of the Bureau of American Ethnology. Several joint
expeditions of the Museum and the Panama-California Exposition,
however, were conducted under the direction of the curator of the
division of physical anthropology, as follows:

Prof. K. Stolyhwo, director of the Anthropological Institute of
Warsaw, Russian Poland, examined certain caves which the curator
had previously visited on the Yenisei River in Siberia, with the view
of obtaining traces of neolithic and possibly older human remains.
The exploration, which was greatly interrupted by adverse climatic
conditions, extended over six weeks, and, while failing to furnish
skeletal remains of much value, it resulted in the acquisition of im-
portant data and numerous very interesting archeological specimens.
An investigation among the uncivilized tribes of southeastern Siberia,
in charge of Dr. Stanislaw Poniatowski, chief of the Ethnologieal

96 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

Laboratory of Warsaw, was begun in the spring of 1914 and still
remains unfinished. Its main object is to secure photographs and
casts of the Siberian natives who bear so close a physical resemblance
to the American Indian. An important expedition for the study of
the development of the Negro child among the Zulu, Bushmen, and
other native tribes in south and east Africa by Dr. V. Schiick, one
of the most promising of the younger generation of European an-
thropologists, was nearing completion at the close of the year. Be-
sides the making of photographs and casts of these primitive peo-
ples for the San Diego exposition, the principal purpose of this re-
search is to obtain data on the growth of the Negro child in its native
land to serve as the foundation for contemplated studies on the
Negro as acclimatized in this country.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY.

The number of accessions and of specimens received by this depart-
ment was somewhat greater than in the previous year, the most
notable acquisition having consisted of some 200,000 insects obtained
by entomologists of the Department of Agriculture during economic
investigations in Texas and neighboring States. Mr. H. C. Raven,
whom the exceeding generosity of Dr. William L. Abbott permitted
to remain in eastern Borneo, sent from there over 1,500 mammals
and birds. The Bureau of Fisheries transmitted extensive collec-
tions of fishes and marine invertebrates, a large number of reptiles
and batrachians from various parts of North America, and the first
series, with types, of the mammals obtained in Lower California dur-
ing the cruise of the steamer Albatross in 1911. From the Biological
Survey were received many mammals from Patagonia, and reptiles
and batrachians, chiefly from Panama; and from Prof. A. M. Reese
a considerable collection of marine invertebrates, besides a number
of reptiles and batrachians, secured in the Philippine Islands. These
were the principal accessions which had to be divided between two
or more divisions, and they will again be referred to in their appro-
priate places.

Mammals.—Additional specimens of the rare Tupaia mulleri and
Reithrosciurus, mentioned in the last report, were contained in the
collection of Mr. Raven from Dutch East Borneo, and also a shrew
of the genus Crocidura and a rare cat, Felis badia, both new to the
Museum. The Lower California mammals obtained during the cruise
of the Fisheries steamer Albatross in 1911, including Dr. C. H.
Townsend’s types of 10 new species, have already been spoken of, as
have also the Patagonian mammals transferred by the Biological
Survey. Mr. Arthur de C. Sowerby transmitted 121 specimens from
Manchuria, among which is a new species described by Mr. Miller

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914, 97

as Apodemus praetor, and an important gap in the palearctic series
was filled by the purchase of a specimen of the Chinese so-called
“horse-tail” deer, laphurus davidianus, which will soon be mounted
for exhibition. A notable gift from Dr. Enrico Festa consisted of a
deer, Cervus corsicanus, and a wild boar, Sus meridionalis, from the
island of Sardinia. The African collection was increased by a num-
ber of specimens obtained by Dr. V. Schiick in northern Zululand,
and by Mr. H. J. A. Turner in British East Africa, among the latter
being types of several new forms. Mr. C. T. Summerson presented
specimens from Alaska, including two skulls of Dall’s sheep, and
Mr. F. D. Ward donated a complete specimen of the dugong pre-
served in formalin.

The tanning of large and medium-sized skins was nearly com-
pleted and the taxidermist detailed to the division made up 325
skins for the reserve series, consisting mainly of small carnivores
and monkeys from the Borneo collection of Mr. Raven. Unusual
progress was made in the preparation of osteological material, some
920 large skulls, 93 more or less complete skeletons, and many hun-
dreds of miscellaneous bones, chiefly leg bones, having been cleaned
at the Museum, and 3,200 small skulls and 80 skeletons, by contract.

The mammals from the Smithsonian African Expedition were re-
arranged and most of those from South Africa were identified, the
labeling of both being completed. Much work was done toward in-
stalling the skulls and skeletons of large mammals in 100 quarter-unit
cases specially provided for the purpcese in the west attic. With the
exception of the cetaceans, the American deer, and the family Bovidea,
the entire collection of large mammal skeletons is now supplied with
proper case room. The whale skulls and skeletons are still tempo-
rarily quartered in the north gallery and northeast basement of the
old Museum building, while a few skulls too large to be accommo-
dated there have been placed provisionally with the osteological
exhibit in the new building.

Research work in this division was largely restricted to the descrip-
tion of new forms discovered incidentally during the identification of
collections recently received or in the course of revising and redeter-
mining old material, as indicated by the titles of the papers cited in
the bibliography at the end of this report. In addition, the curator of
the division, Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, jr., prepared a new edition of the
Directions for Preparing Specimens of Mammals, and the assistant
curator, Mr. N. Hollister, completed a monograph of the grasshopper
mice, Onychomys. Dr. C. Hart Merriam, associate in zoology, con-
tinued his studies of North American bears, the monograph on this
subject, which has long engaged his attention, being now well ad-
vanced toward completion. Dr. E. A. Mearns, United States Army,

retired, also associate in zoology, studied the raccoons of the Mexican
boundary survey, of which he was the chief zoologist; and Mr. Ed-
mund Heller continued his work on the mammals of the Smithsonian
African Expedition, of which he was one of the naturalists.

The members of the Biological Survey of the Department of Agri-
culture had at all times full access to the collections, which were also
consulted by Dr. J. A. Allen, Dr. W. K. Gregory, and Mr. A. C.
Andrews, of the American Museum of Natural History; Mr. W. H.
Osgood, of the Field Museum of Natural History; Dr. O. P. Hay,
of the Carnegie Institution of Washington; Dr. J. C. Merriam, of
the University of California; Dr. D. G. Elliot, of New York; Dr.
R. W. Shufeldt, of Washington; and Mr. Childs Frick, of Bryn
Mawr, Pa. Specimens were lent for study to Dr. G. M. Allen, of the
Museum of Comparative Zoélogy; Dr. J. A. Allen; Mr. H. B. Bailey,
of Newport News, Va.; Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, of the University of
Colorado; Mr. Childs Frick; Prof. George S. Huntington, of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York; Dr. J. C. Mer-
riam; and Mr. Witmer Stone, of the Academy of Natural Sciences of
Philadelphia.

Birds —The birds received from Mr. Raven in east Borneo com-
prised 701 skins, besides a few skeletons, eggs, and nests. A generous
gift from Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, United States Army, retired, con-
sisted of his private collection of 1,577 skins, 780 eggs, and 48 skele-
tons. In addition to a large number of foreign species, chiefly from
England and Denmark, this donation contains a selected series from
Dr. Mearns’ early collecting, including many specimens from the
Fort Verde region, Ariz., and examples of several exceedingly rare
forms, as, for instance, two passenger pigeons, now extinct in the
wild state, and. two Carolina parrakeets and one ivory-billed wood-
pecker, both of which are nearing extinction. Another welcome ac-
cession, presented by Mr. Otto Holstein, was composed of 25 bird
skins from Ecuador, among them being two skins of the spine-tail
humming bird, Leptasthenura andicola, and a species of Calospiza,
new to the Museum. To facilitate the researches of Dr. Mearns on
the east African birds from the two expeditions of which he was a
member, 15 skins of birds from Africa, including a species of
Myioceyx, a genus not hitherto represented in the collection, were
purchased.

The rearrangement of the reserve series of bird skins was con-
tinued more actively than during the previous year owing to in-
creased facilities, with the result of advancing the revision to the
extent of 20 quarter-unit and 53 half-unit cases. This brings the
new installation, commencing with the passeres, down nearly to the
end of the birds of prey. Case and drawer labels were prepared for
these 73 cases and temporary labels for the remainder of the series,

the contents of which were much shifted during the year. The work
of dismounting the large number of birds withdrawn from exhibi-
tion was continued by contract with very excellent results, and much
labor was expended in properly relabeling about 700 birds. thus
returned to the reserve series. The search for type specimens was
also continued, and several were discovered, notably the type of
Girard’s [cterus auduboni, which had long been considered lost.

The osteological series was systematically arranged in the cases
provided for the purpose, the loose bones were numbered, and the
material was partly cleaned. The drawers were temporarily labeled
to show the orders and families contained in each, and the skeletons
received from the preparators the previous year were catalogued and
numbered, but not distributed. About 200 birds’ eggs were placed in
their cases, but most of the accessions of eggs were left for attention
at a future time.

Part 6 of the great work on the Birds of North and Middle Amer-
ica, by Mr. Robert Ridgway, the curator of the division, was pub-
lished on April 8, 1914. In spite of continued ill health, Mr. Ridg-
way has also made material progress in the preparation of manu-
script for the parts to follow. Several of the orders and higher
groups to be included in part 7 have been elaborated, and the syn-
onymy and references for various groups not only in this, but in
subsequent parts as well, have been worked up. On account of the
pressure of routine duties Dr. C. W. Richmond, the assistant curator,
could give but little time to research work. He saw part 6 of Bul-
letin 50 through the press, supplying and verifying references and
helping to prepare the index. In these tasks he was assisted by the
aid of the division, Mr. J. H. Riley, who was also of much help to
Mr. Ridgway in compiling references and measuring specimens.
Dr. E. A. Mearns continued his studies of east African birds, with
particular reference to the ornithological results of the Smithsonian
and Frick expeditions, and he was given special assistance during
several months for measuring and cataloguing specimens. Thirty-
six new forms were described by him in publications issued during
the year. Mr. A. C. Bent, of Taunton, Mass., also made progress
with his work on the life histories of North American birds.

The facilities offered by the division were constantly utilized by
the staff of the Biological Survey. Mr. Alex Wetmore exam-
ined the skeletons of passerine birds and incidentally aided very
materially in rearranging and putting this part of the collection in
order. Mr. H. C. Oberholser completed a monograph on the goat-
suckers of the genus Chordeiles and a review of the forms of Ento-
mothera, a genus of kingfishers, basing his observations chiefly on
Museum material. He also continued his investigations of East
Indian birds, largely contributed by Dr. W. L. Abbott. In addi-

tion to the committee on classification and nomenclature of the
American Ornithologists’ Union, which spent three days in the divi-
sion, many members of the union availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to study various specimens during the annual meeting which
was held at the Museum in April, 1914.

Among ornithologists who conducted more or less extended re-
searches in the laboratory were Mr. W. deW. Miller and Mr. J. T.
Nichols, of the American Museum of Natural History; Mr. R. C.
Murphy, of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences; Mr. W. H.
Osgood, of the Field Museum of Natural History; Mr. W. E. Clyde
Todd, of the Carnegie Museum; Dr. Thomas Barbour, of the Museum
of Comparative Zoélogy; Mr. H. K. Coale, of Highland Park, W1.;
Dr. Jonathan Dwight, jr., and Mr. C. H. Rogers, of New York; Mr.
J. H. Fleming, of Toronto, Canada; Mr. Harry Highbee and Mr.
I. H. Kennard, of Boston, Mass.; Dr. L. C. Sanford, of New Haven,
Conn.; Mr. George Shiras, 3d, and Lord Percy of the British Em-
bassy, Washington; and Mr. Otto Widmann, of St. Louis, Mo. The
collection of birds’ eggs was consulted by Mr. H. H. Bailey, of
Newport News, Va.; Mr. R. M. Barnes, of Lacon, IL; Mr. George
H. Lings, of Nyack, N. Y.; Mr. J. Parker Norris, jr., of Philadel-
phia, Pa.; Mr. Roswell S. Wheeler, of Oakland, Cal.; and Mr. John
Willams, of Iowa City, Iowa. Access to the collection of skeletons
was granted to Mr. Loye Holmes Miller, of Los Angeles, Cal., and
Dr. R. W. Shufeldt, of Washington.

A large number of specimens were lent for study to institutions
and individuals as follows: Mr. F. M. Chapman, of the American
Museum of Natural History; Mr. W. E. Clyde Todd; Mr. R. C.
Murphy; Dr. Thomas Barbour, and Mr. Outram Bangs, of the Mu-
seum of Comparative Zodlogy; Mr. H. S. Swarth, of the Museum of
History, Science, and Art, Los Angeles, Cal.; Mr. Joseph Grinnell,
of the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology of the University of Califor-
nia; the Colorado Museum of Natural History, Denver, Colo.; Mr.
H. K. Coale; Mr. Louis Agassiz Fuertes, of Ithaca, N. Y.; Mr. H. H.
Kopman, of the Conservation Commission, New Orleans, La.;
Dr. W. L. Sclater, of the British Museum of Natural History;
Dr. Josef Gengler, of Erlangen, Germany; and Mr. Frank Bond.
of Washington.

Reptiles and batrachians.—Mention has already been made of ma-
terial received from the Bureau of Fisheries, the Biological Survey,
and Prof. A. M. Reese. To Dr. J. C. Thompson, United States Navy,
the division is indebted for a large number of specimens collected by
himself on the west coast of Mexico and in California, including all
of those on which was based his intensive study of the variation of a
species of gartersnake on the peninsula of Sausalito, published by
the Museum during the year. Several rare species were obtained by

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 101

Mr. G.S. Miller, jr., in Mississippi and Alabama, and to augment the
turtle collection, which has been at a standstill for many years, but
which the head curator has now taken up for a critical examination
of the North and Middle American forms, a number of southern
species were purchased. The genus Brachylophus, the only one of
the American family Iguanide known to occur in the Old World,
has not hitherto been represented in the collection. During last year,
however, two specimens were received as a gift from the Department
of Agriculture of Fiji, and another was obtained in exchange from
the Museum of Comparative Zodlogy, together with two specimens of
the singular west African “ hairy ” frog, Astylosternus robustus.

The substitution of glass-stoppered jars for the old style of salt-
mouth bottles is still in progress, and the contents of several old tanks
were also transferred to jars or made into dry preparations, notably
the large turtles. The osteological material has been partly gone over
and arranged in unit cases placed in the corridor adjacent to the
laboratory. In furtherance of a study of the turtles of North and
Middle America, begun by the head curator, it was found necessary
to institute a separate series of cleaned turtle skulls, similar to the
one in the division of mammals, and a number were prepared in that
manner. This work will be pushed during the current year and
promises results of great interest. The card cataloguing of the col-
lection is progressing satisfactorily and the search for old types has
been quite successful.

Since 1857, when Louis Agassiz published his Contributions to the
Natural History of the United States, no scientific revision of the
North American turtles has appeared in this country. More than 25
years ago the Museum arranged with Dr. G. Baur for the preparation
of a volume on the Testudinata of North America, but the work was
stopped by reason of his death, and the fragmentary state of the ma-
terial left by him prevented its being finished by others. The urgent
demand for such a publication has induced the head curator to under-
take the task, the subject being treated somewhat on the plan of, and
covering the same territory as, Ridgway’s Birds of North and Middle
America. The work was started about a year ago, and during the
hours that could be spared from administrative duties he has made
such progress that the volume may be expected to be ready in a year
ortwo. The collections of the division were consulted by Dr. Thomas
Barbour, of the Museum of Comparative Zodlogy; and Miss Stella
Clemence, of the American Museum of Natural History; and speci-
mens were lent for study to Dr. Alexander G. Ruthven, director of
the Museum of Zoology of the University of Michigan; Dr. Shufeldt,
of Washington; and Dr. Barbour.

Fishes—The most important accessions came, as usual, from the
Bureau of Fisheries. They represented the results of collecting work

102 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

and of expeditions to various localities, and included the types of
many new species. The museum of Leland Stanford Junior Univer-
sity contributed a large number of desirable specimens, obtained in
Japan and California by Dr. David 8S. Jordan, Prof. J. O. Snyder,
and others; and Mr. Robert Tweedlie, of Balboa, Canal Zone, pre-
sented an especially fine collection, including the young of rare forms,
from the Pacific side of the Isthmus of Panama. Many well pre-
served and interesting fishes were collected for the Museum at the
Philippine Islands and in the inner lagoon of Fanning Island by Dr.
Fred Baker, of Point Loma, Cal.; and at the Philippine Islands, by
Dr. Albert M. Reese, of the University of West Virginia.

The general revision of the collections of this division, the need
of which was alluded to in the last report, was begun during the
year. As indicated in that connection, recent accessions had left the
division with an accumulation of material the proper arrangement
and disposition of which taxed to the utmost the energies of its small
staff. The great danger to be apprehended in reducing the bulk of
the collection, which could only be done by relieving it of all duph-
cates and condemning such material as was not suitable for further
preservation, was that valuable specimens, even types, might be
discarded unless the greatest care was exercised and the work under-
taken by some one having a broad and thorough knowledge of the
group. No other course was open than to obtain for this revision
the services of an acknowledged expert in ichthyology who could
give his entire time and energy to the task, unhampered by any
routine duties. It was fortunately found possible to secure for this
important work the cooperation of Prof. J. O. Snyder, of Leland
Stanford Junior University, who arrived in Washington in the first
part of January, 1914, and has labored unceasingly to place the
collection in order. The specific direction of his work has been to
determine whether any species was more abundantly represented in
the collection than necessary, to cull out such specimens as were too
poorly preserved to be of further use, and to separate such types
and other especially valuable specimens as might be recognized.
Beginning with the larger class of containers, he had by the close
of the year examined the contents of more than 400 large storage
jars, of which a considerable number of poorly preserved specimens
were condemned, though some were saved for their skeletons, and
many specimens were set aside as duplicates. Fifty or more types
were segregated, and rare or otherwise exceptionally valuable speci-
mens were placed in separate bottles. The revision of material
belonging to 15 unassorted collections, the most of which had not
yet been studied, was also completed. It was often found necessary
to identify collections or to determine whether published investiga-
tions were based on particular specimens, which would make their

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 108

retention desirable. As soon as the large containers have been dis-
posed of—and this has been nearly done—the examination of the
smaller jars will be taken up. The work is expected to occupy sev-
eral months of the current year, and is one of the most important
of its kind that has been undertaken by the Museum.

Incidental to the reexamination of specimens and the search for
types a considerable amount of research into the old literature on
the subject of the collections was carried on by Prof. Snyder and
Mr. B. A. Bean, the assistant curator. Mr. 8. F. Hildebrand, of the
Bureau of Fisheries, had the use of the Panama material in connec-
tion with the preparation of his report on the fishes of the Isthmus,
and other members of the same bureau, especially Dr. William C.
Kendall and Mr. L. Radcliffe, consulted the collections. Specimens
were lent for study to Dr. Carl H. Eigenmann, of the Indiana State
University ; Dr. Louis Hussakof and Mr. J. T. Nichols, of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History; Mr. C. W. Shepherd, of Kensing-
ton, London; Dr. H. M. Smith, United States Commissioner of Fish-
eries; Prof. C. H. Gilbert and Prof. J. O. Snyder, of Leland Stanford
Junior University; and Dr. 8. E. Meek, of the Field Museum of Nat-
ural History.

Insects —The deposits of insects by the Bureau of Entomology
were exceptionally extensive and notable. The largest and most im-
portant was a collection made by the force of the bureau engaged in
the investigation of southern field crops, and came chiefly from
Texas. When received at the Museum it was contained in about 400
Schmitt boxes for the dried or pinned material and 1,000 large vials
for the alcoholic material, the total number of specimens being esti-
mated at approximately 200,000, about equally divided between the
dried and alcoholic preparations. This is probably the best State
collection ever brought together, although its full Museum value can
scarcely be passed upon until more of the material has been deter-
mined and the results incorporated in the records. Other noteworthy
accessions from the bureau consisted of some 5,500 specimens col-
lected by its employees and others in various localities from the
Bahama Islands and Florida to New Mexico, Arizona, California,
and Alaska; and of the material used by Mr. P. H. Timberlake for
his revision of the genus Aphycus. The latter comprised about 40
specimens of European weevils bred from alfalfa and 79 named
reared specimens of the genus, including the types of three new
species.

Of gifts from individuals may be noted 124 vials of parasitic
Hymenoptera from Mr. J. P. Kryger; 240 chalcids from Prof. C. F.
Baker; and several accessions from Mr. Frederick Knab, aggregating
1,457 specimens, mostly of Diptera, from the District of Columbia.

104 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

The transfer of specimens to the permanent trays made little prog-
ress, owing to a delay in the delivery of the trays ordered for the
year’s use, but much is expected to be accomplished in this direction
during the current year. Preliminary to the preparation of a faunal
collection to be added to the exhibition series for the District of
Columbia, special efforts have been made to assemble as much local
material as possible suitable for the purpose, and it is expected that
a good representation of several orders will soon be ready for
installation.

The associate curator of the division, Mr. J. C. Crawford, continued
his studies of the Hymenoptera, and, in addition to several papers
published, he completed a contribution on the bees of the genus
Coeliovys in America north of Mexico. Of the material secured dur-
ing the biological survey of the Panama Canal Zone a part was
worked up during the year, and accounts of the Lepidoptera, by Dr.
Harrison G. Dyar and Mr. August Busck, were issued. Mr. J. R.
Malloch finished several papers on the Agromyzide and Simuliide,
the titles of which and of other communications by custodians of the
division will be found in the bibliography at the end of this report.
Mr. William Schaus continued his work on the Lepidoptera assem-
bled by himself and designated as the Schaus collection, and pub-
lished one paper descriptive of several new genera and 136 new
species of Noctuidee, all but three of which were secured by himself
and Mr. J. Barnes in Guiana. For nearly five months Dr. E. Mar-
tini, of Hamburg, Germany, made studies on the collection of mos-
quitoes, and for two months Mr. S. B. Fracker, of the University of
Illinois, was at work on lepidopterous larve. Other entomologists
who made investigations at the Museum were Mr. William T. Davis,
of New Brighton, N. Y.; Prof. A. L. Melander, of Pullman, Wash. ;
Mr. C. P. Alexander and Mr. Harold Morrison, of Cornell Univer-
sity; and Mr. L. H. Weld, of Evanston, Ill. Material was lent for
study as follows: Neuroptera to Mr. L. Berland, of the Muséum
d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France; Orthoptera to Mr. Morgan
Hebard, of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia; Hy-
menoptera to Dr. W. M. Wheeler, of Harvard University, Mr. P. H.
Timberlake, of Salt Lake City, Utah, Mr. Harold Morrison and Mr.
William Beutenmiiller, of New York; Coleoptera to Mr. A. B. Wol-
cott, of the Field Museum of Natural History, Mr. R. D. Glasgow,
of Urbana, Ill., and Mr. H. E. Burke, of Placerville, Cal.; Diptera
to Mr. A. L. Melander, Prof. James S. Hine, of the Ohio State
University, Dr. E. P. Felt, of Albany, N. Y., Prof. J. M. Aldrich,
of Lafayette, Ind., Mr. R. R. Parker, of the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College, Mr. C. P. Alexander and Mr. Charles Schaeffer,
of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences; Hemiptera to
Dr. E. Bergroth, of Turtola, Finland; and Arachnida to Prof. C. W.
Peckham, of Milwaukee, Wis.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 105

Mollusks.—The accession of greatest moment was the gift by Mr.
Thomas H. Bryant, of Cincinnati, of the collection of the late Prof.
F. W. Bryant, of Lakeside, Cal., consisting of five cases of miscel-
Janeous shells of which a large number were desirable for the reserve
series. A contribution of about 2,000 specimens was received as
the results of a dredging expedition by Mr. John B. Henderson, to
Chincoteague, Va., in which the assistant curator, Dr. Paul Bartsch,
also took part. Several of the species obtained are apparently new.
A miscellaneous lot of marine shells, mostly from the Gulf of Cal-
ifornia, presented by Mrs. Julian James, consists of material ob-
tained by her brother, the late Lieut. Commander T. B. M. Mason,
United States Navy. <A collection of minute marine shells of con-
siderable interest from the island of Mujeres, off the coast of Yuca-
tan, was donated by Mr. Russell H. Millward; and a fine series of
nearly 1,000 specimens of Bulimulus from 43 localities in Texas, was
presented by the Hon. J. D. Mitchell, of Victoria, Tex., an old friend
and correspondent of the Museum. Mr. Charles R. Orcutt added to
the collections previously sent by him from various places in Mexico
about 500 specimens of very acceptable mollusks; Mrs. T. S. Oldroyd
furnished some excellent Californian marine specimens from the
vicinity of San Pedro; and Mr. James Zetek presented interesting
specimens from Panama.

The reserve collection has been kept in good condition and is
readily accessible for study and reference. The western American
marine material has been partly gone over, recent acquisitions have
been incorporated in their proper places and the nomenclature has
been so far revised as to present the latest data for about one-fifth
of the entire series from the Pacific coast. A very large amount of
fine dredgings, bottom samples, etc., has been searched for minute
shells, and the pickings have been submitted to rough sorting and
labeled with the locality and other data preparatory to further study
and identification. Part of this material came from Philippine
dredgings by the Fisheries steamer Albatross and part from the Gulf
of California. The series of mollusks for the faunal exhibit of the
District of Columbia was completed, and the assistant curator also
gave much time to the preparation and arrangement of marine in-
vertebrates for the general exhibition.

The special investigations of the curator, Dr. William H. Dall,
were directed to the fauna of the northwest coast of America pre-
liminary to a manual of this fauna which he is preparing, but on
which progress has been slow, owing to the pressure of routine work.
A small collection of shells made on both coasts of Canada was
studied and a report made to the Dominion Geological and Natural
History Survey, which has been printed in the Bulletin of the Vic-
toria Memorial Museum at Ottawa. Dr. Paul Bartsch, the assistant

106 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

curator, has given much attention to the Philippine land shells, for
which a large number of illustrations have been prepared by photog-
raphy. He has completed, with the illustrations, the report on the
marine shells of South Africa, chiefly contributed by Lieut. Col.
W. H. Turton, retired, of the British Army, except certain bibli-
ographic additions which it is desirable to include. The collections
have been extensively used by Mr. John B. Henderson, of Washing-
ton, who is continuing his studies of east American and Antillean
mollusks. Miss Juha Gardner, of Johns Hopkins University, and
members of the Geological Survey have also utilized the collections
in connection with their studies of fossil shells.

Marine invertebrates—The principal accessions from the Bureau
of Fisheries were as follows: One hundred and sixty-two lots of as-
cidians, including the types of 8 new species, obtained on the Philip-
pine expedition of the steamer Albatross, 1907-1910, and worked up
by Dr. W. G. Van Name; large collections of plankton taken by the
schooner Grampus on the New England coast during the summers of
1912 and 1913, including schizopods identified by Dr. H. J. Hansen,
salpee identified by Mr. W. F. Clapp, and Meduse, amphipods, etc.,
identified by Dr. H. B. Bigelow; 36 lots of Foraminifera (Xeno-
phyophora) dredged in the eastern Pacific Ocean in 1904-1905 by
the steamer A/batross under the direction of Alexander Agassiz and
reported on by Prof. F. E. Schulze; a collection of leeches made dur-
ing the investigation of the Great Lakes in 1899, and studied by Dr.
J. Percy Moore; and many samples of plankton and specimens of
invertebrates collected in Lake Maxinkuckee, Ind., during several
years, under the supervision of Dr. B. W. Evermann.

Mr. H. K. Harring, custodian of the rotatoria, contributed 103
microscopic slides representing almost as many species of rotifers,
from the District of Columbia and vicinity; and Dr. Albert M. Reese,
of the University of West Virginia, obtained a large number of
invertebrates for the Museum during his trip to the Philippine
Islands. Forty species of invertebrates were received in exchange
from the University of the Philippines at Manila, and 16 species of
ascidians, identified by Dr. R. Hartmeyer, were secured in the same
manner from the Royal Zoological Museum in Berlin, Germany.
The Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction (Fisheries
Branch), Dublin, Treland, presented 16 species of deep-water echino-
derms from off the Irish coast.

The routine work connected with the care, sorting, labeling, and
cataloguing of the extensive and varied material received was
promptly attended to and much time was spent in the preparation
and shipment of specimens for study elsewhere and for distribution
to educational establishments. The alcoholic and dried collections
of sponges and ophiurans, and the dried collections of asteroids,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914, 107

echinoids, aleyonarians, and hydroids were overhauled, the nomen-
clature revised, fresh labels put on the outside of jars and boxes,
and a systematic arrangement made. At the same time the card
catalogue of these groups was brought up to date. Miss Rathbun
also cooperated with Dr. Bartsch in the preparation and arrange-
ment of the marine faunal exhibits, in which good progress was
made.

The helminthological collection, which had been retained in the
Smithsonian building, was moved in the spring to the new building,
where the alcoholic specimens have been arranged in two cases in
the stack room and the microscopic slides in the adjacent corridor.
Better accommodations for the latter and laboratory facilities for
this section are intended to be provided. The collection of onycho-
phores was transferred to this division from the division of insects.
It now contains representatives of four genera and seven species,
including the type of a new subspecies. The four microscopic slide
cases in the division have been almost entirely filled with Foramini-
fera mainly of the mountings of North Pacific specimens by Dr. Jo-
seph A. Cushman, who has been making rapid progress in this work.
The other microscopic slides are now provisionally arranged in a
large unit case, awaiting better accommodations for their storage.

Miss Mary J. Rathbun, assistant curator, completed a report on
the decapod and stomatopod crustaceans collected at the Monte
Bello Islands, off the northwest coast of Australia, by Mr. P. D.
Montague, of Cambridge, England, which is being published in the
Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London. She also worked
up the crabs of the families Goneplacide and Gecarcinide from
the expedition of the Fisheries steamer Albatross to the Philippine
Islands in 1907-1910, and in a preliminary paper, printed in the
Proceedings of the Museum, the new species of the former family
were described. All of the unidentified specimens of these families
in the possession of the Museum were likewise named at the same
time, and the family Inachide is now receiving attention.

Mr. Austin H. Clark, assistant curator, prepared a number of
papers of greater or less size, as follows: A monograph of the
crinoids of the Antarctic regions, to be included in the reports of
the German South-Polar Expedition; a monograph of the crinoids
of China and Japan, based on the collections of Prof. Dr. Franz
Doflein, of Freiburg, which will probably be published by the
Bavarian Academy of Sciences; a report on the crinoids collected
by the Australian marine surveying ship Endeavour off southwest-
ern Australia, to be published by the Western Australian Museum
at Perth; and a detailed account of the crinoids of the British
Museum. Mr. Clark was also the author of several shorter papers
describing small crinoid collections or revising restricted crinoid

108 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

groups, and of others in which the facts obtained from a study of
the recent crinoids are applied toward the solution of problems
especially in paleontology and oceanography. He likewise devoted
some time to the study of the onychophores and their geographical
distribution.

Dr. Harriet Richardson Searle, collaborator, reported on the isopod
crustaceans obtained by the Fisheries steamer Albatross under the
direction of Alexander Agassiz, during the Pacific Ocean cruises of
1899-1900 and 1904-1905. Mr. Clarence R. Shoemaker, aid, prepared
an annotated list of the amphipod crustaceans collected in south
Georgia by Mr. R. C. Murphy, and has begun work on the amphipods
of the east coast of the United States. Miss Lilian C. Cash, cata-
loguer, gave some attention to the alcyonarians, preparing a series of
175 microscopic mounts of spicules, and beginning the identification
of the species in certain groups. Mr. H. K. Harring, of the Bureau
of Standards, devoted his spare time to the study of rotifers, in-
cluding the mounting of a large number of slides for the Museum,
and completed a report on the material obtained in the Panama
Canal Zone by Dr. C. Dwight Marsh.

Much research work was done for the division during the year by
distinguished naturalists, both at home and abroad, who are recog-
nized as collaborators in the classification of the collections. Some
of the more important results were as follows: Dr. H. J. Hansen, of
Copenhagen, Denmark, completed his monograph of the Euphausi-
acea; and Dr. Joseph A. Cushman, of the Boston Society of Natural
History, the fourth part of his monograph of the North Pacific
Foraminifera, including the Chilostomellid, Globigerinide and
Nummulitide, the fifth part, embracing the Rotalide, being also
nearly ready. Dr. H. A. Pilsbry, of the Academy of Natural
Sciences of Philadelphia, has nearly finished his studies on the sessile
Cirripedia; Dr. Charles B. Wilson, of the State Normal School,
Westfield, Mass., submitted another of his monographs on the para-
sitic copepods, dealing with the family Lernzopodide; and Prof.
C. C. Nutting, of the State University of Iowa, completed the third
part of his monograph on hydroids. Prof. A. E. Verrill, of Yale
University, in his report on the starfishes of the Harriman Alaska
Expedition, recently published by the Smithsonian Institution, de-
scribed a small collection lent him by the Museum; Prof. Frank
Smith, of the University of Illinois, continued his study of earth-
worms, especially those from America and British East Africa; Dr.
R. Koehler, of Lyon, France, has undertaken to report upon the large
collection of Philippine ophiurans obtained chiefly by the steamer
Albatross in 1907-1910; and Dr. N. A. Cobb, of the Department of
Agriculture, has taken up the study of a small collection of non-
parasitic nematodes.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 109

The following have continued work on collections in their custody
as opportunity permitted: Dr. R. C. Osburn, of Barnard College,
on the bryozoans of the northeast coast of North America; Dr. W. M.
Tattersall, of the Manchester Museum, England, on the Mysidacea;
Mr. R. Southern, of Dublin, Ireland, on the annelids of the family
Cirratulide; Dr. J. W. Spengel, of Giessen, Germany, on Sipun-
culus; Prot. Maynard M. Metcalf, of Oberlin College, on Salpa and
Pyrosoma; and Dr. Walter Faxon, of the Museum of Comparative
Zoology, on crayfishes. Specimens have been lent for study to Prof.
H. Garman, of the State University of Kentucky; Miss Ada L.
Weckel, of Oak Park, Ill.; Mr. Stanley Kemp, of the Indian
Museum, Calcutta; and Mr. F. C. Craighead, of Washington.

Plants—Among the accessions of the year were several of excep-
tional value, the more noteworthy being as follows: Over 10,000
specimens were received from the Bureau of Plant Industry and
the Biological Survey, of the Department of Agriculture, compris-
ing, besides 1,500 miscellaneous plants, more than 1,200 mounted
grasses, collected by Prof. A. S. Hitchcock during an investigation
of this group in Nevada, California, Utah, and Arizona, and also
6,000 duplicate grasses, consisting of 30 sets of 200 specimens each
of certain species which have been critically studied by Prof. Hitch-
cock and Mrs. Agnes Chase in recent years, and of which it has been
considered desirable to distribute authentic specimens. The New
York Botanical Garden furnished 3,555 plants in exchange, of which
562 were African specimens from the Otto Kuntze Herbarium, and
the remainder entirely from the West Indies, supplementing very
acceptably the large series acquired from the same source in recent
years, and resulting from investigations by that institution. Some
1,580 Chinese plants, representing a second installment of one of the
largest sets of the exceedingly valuable collections made by Mr. E. H.
Wilson, were purchased of Prof. C. S. Sargent.

A notable collection of cryptogams, numbering about 10,000 speci-
mens, largely obtained by the late Mr. John B. Leiberg while engaged
in field work in the western United States, was received as a gift from
Mrs. Leiberg, of Leaburg, Oreg. It contains many duplicates which |
will be available for distribution as soon as the species have been fully
identified. An important addition from a region not well represented
in the herbarium consisted of 1,100 plants from Venezuela, of which
300, chiefly from the high mountains of that country, were purchased
of Mr. Alfredo Jahn, Caracas, while the remainder, presented by
Mr. H. Pittier, were secured by him in the course of an investigation
of the agricultural resources of Venezuela. From the Bureau of
Science at Manila 1,746 specimens were obtained in exchange, nearly
1,000 of these having come from Guam, and being duplicates of mate-
rial which had served as the basis of an extensive report on the flora

110 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

of that island by Mr. E. D. Merrill. Other collections worthy of
mention were 2,000 specimens from the arid regions of Colorado, New
Mexico, and Texas, contributed by the Carnegie Institution of Wash-
ington; 740 specimens from the mountains of North Carolina, ob-
tained by Mr. Paul C. Standley and Mr. H. C. Bollman; 1,075 plants
of the Henry Eggert Herbarium, largely from the south-central
United States, received in exchange from the Missouri Botanical Gar-
den; and 940 specimens, chiefly from Idaho, from the University of
Wyoming.

Approximately 33,000 specimens were mounted for the general her-
barium, which is much above the yearly average, and at the close
of the year few remained to be prepared in this way. In other re-
spects also the work of the division was well advanced and the collec-
tions were reported in excellent condition. By the employment of
two extra assistants, an accumulation of about 50,000 mounted speci-
mens of phanerogams was appropriately distributed in the cases and
nearly one-half of the phanerogamic collection was rearranged, a
considerable proportion of the specimens being likewise put in new
covers. This revision will go on until it has been completed for the
entire group.

As opportunity permitted, Mr. Standley continued the segrega-
tion of types and duplicate types from the study series. This work,
which may be said to have progressed steadily for more than a
year, has led to the assembling of upward of 7,000 specimens. Each
type, after being plainly indicated as such, is placed in an indi-
vidual cover of heavy manila tag board, with a distinctive label on
which is written not only the generic and specific name but also the
serial number of the genus according to the classification of Dalla
Torre and Harms. The type specimens thus far removed from the
general herbarium sequence have been associated in eight standard
cases, placed conveniently near the offices of the assistant curators,
so as to be easily cared for and still be available for consultation by
investigators. The probational appointment of Mr. Glen P. Van
Eseltine as aid has made it possible to carry out a plan long held
in abeyance to place the cryptogamic collections in better order.
During the past five or six years a large amount of material has
accumulated in nearly all groups of the lower cryptogams, and
although a part of this is in shape for immediate incorporation in
the reserve series the greater part remains to be attended to, and the
proper pocketing, labeling, and distribution involves much time and
labor. The herbarium has been thoroughly poisoned by carbon
bisulphide twice during the year. Only a few insects have been
observed, and in no instance has any special damage been caused
by them.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 111

Mr. Frederick V. Coville, the curator of the division, continued
his studies of the genus Vaccinium. Mr. William R. Maxon, associ-
ate curator, made considerable progress with his “ Studies of tropical
American ferns,” and, in addition to two shorter articles, published
a fifth paper under the above title. Copy for No. 6 of this series
is now ready for the press. Mr. Paul C. Standley, assistant curator,
continued his researches on Panama plants, especially of the family
Rubiaceae, and began the preparation of a manuscript treating of
the families Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae of the North Amer-
ican flora. He plans also to publish a series of papers embodying
the miscellaneous results of his work under the title, “ Studies of
tropical American phanerogams,” of which part 1 appeared during
the year. “The flora of New Mexico,” prepared jointly with Mr.
E. O. Wooton, of the Department of Agriculture, has been sub-
mitted for publication in its revised form and will constitute volume
19 of the Contributions from the National Herbarium. Mr. E. 8.
Steele devoted to the study of the genus Laciniaria such time as
was not required for his editorial duties.

Dr. J. N. Rose, associate in botany, proceeded with his researches
on the family Cactaceae under the auspices of the Carnegie Institu-
tion of Washington, his furlough from the National Museum having
been extended for that purpose. Dr. E. L. Greene, associate in bot-
any, has been engaged on part 2 of “ Botanical Landmarks,” and, in
addition, was the author of two short papers on various species of
American plants. Capt. John Donnell Smith, associate in botany,
continued his investigations of previous years on the flora of Central
America and published several papers describing new species from
that region.

Among the botanists who worked in the herbarium for longer or
shorter periods were Dr. C. H. Ostenfeld, of the Botanical Museum
in Copenhagen, Denmark; Dr. N. L. Britton, director of the New
York Botanical Garden, and Dr. P. A. Rydberg and Dr. J. K. Small,
of the same institution; Prof. H. M. Hall and Mrs. Katherine Bran-
degee, of the University of California; Prof. Aven Nelson, of the
University of Wyoming; Prof. Ezra Brainerd, of Middlebury Col-
lege; and Prof. William Trelease, of the University of Illinois. The
herbarium was also, as usual, constantly made use of by the botanists
of the Department of Agriculture.

The number of specimens lent to institutions and individuals for
study was above the average. Much of the material thus sent out
was undetermined, and the Museum therefore became the chief, if
not the only, beneficiary in many of the transactions. The principal
shipments were as follows: A large number of plants of many groups
to the New York Botanical Garden; numerous specimens from Cen-
tral America to Capt. John Donnell Smith, of Baltimore, Md.; fungi

112 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

from New Mexico to Prof. J. C. Arthur, of Purdue University ;
lichens of the genus Ramalina to Dr. R. H. Howe, of Concord, Mass. ;
tropical American plants to the Royal Botanical Garden and Mu-
seum, Berlin, Germany; specimens of Solanaceae to Dr. Georg Bitter,
Bremen, Germany; a large series of Dryopteris for study by Mr.
Carl Christensen in connection with his extended monograph of the
tropical American species of the genus, to the Botanical Museum of
the University, Copenhagen, Denmark; lichens, mainly from Aus-
tralia and New Zealand, to Mr. G. K. Merrill, Rockland, Me.; speci-
mens of Chamaesyce, for study by Dr. C. F. Millspaugh, to the Field
Museum of Natural History; and specimens of Yanthiwm, for study
by Dr. T. J. Widder, and of tropical American Gesneriacez, mainly
from Panama, for study by Dr. KX. Fritzsch, to the Institute for
Systematic Botany, Graz, Austria.

Work of preparators—Having previously completed, so far as the
material permitted, the principal new and prominent features for the
exhibition series, especially of mammals and birds, the preparators
were mainly occupied during last year in mounting smaller speci-
mens and in renewing and improving the specimens from the older
collections, which had to a large extent been installed in the new
building without waiting for the renovation which their condition
demanded. The collection still contains much material which should
be replaced when better specimens can be obtained, and until this is
done the exhibition as a whole must be regarded as below the proper
standard. The work which this involves, although not as spec-
tacular as the building of large groups, is as important from the
museum standpoint and as necessary for the lessons designed to be
illustrated.

Mr. George B. Turner, chief taxidermist, and his assistant, Mr.
William L. Brown, finished the mounting of the reticulated giraffe,
which is an especially effective piece of taxidermy, and also of the
giant eland and the greater koodoo, both from East Africa, as well
as of a specimen of the fallow deer, a common European species not
hitherto represented in the exhibition halls. A fine specimen of the
rare Pére David deer, Llaphurus davidianus, from China, was also
in course of preparation at the end of the year.

Mr. N. R. Wood, the bird taxidermist, mounted for exhibition 74
skins, mostly of African birds, including the 5 chicks of the ostrich
group and 11 fresh skins. He also remounted 30 specimens and
renovated or changed to other pedestals 22 specimens. Mr. George
Marshall was mainly engaged in mounting small mammals, in which
the exhibition series is exceedingly deficient except in the North
American section.

The work done in the osteological laboratory under Mr. J. W.
Scollick consisted in cleaning 938 mammal skulls, besides skeletons

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914, 1138

and separate bones of mammals, birds, and reptiles to the number of
577. Mr. C. E. Mirguet renovated the okapi skeleton for exhibition
and was employed in much other preparatorial work, including the
making of a cast of a gorilla skull for the division of physical
anthropology. Mr. William Palmer was mainly occupied with the
arrangement of the faunal exhibit of the District of Columbia, the
exhibition series of insects, and the synoptic series, though he was
called upon for much special work in other directions.

Exhibition collections—Two additional alcoves assigned to topical
exhibits were opened to the public. They are devoted to the “ archi-
tecture” of mammals and birds, and the eggs of birds. Most con-
spicuous is a large central floor case in which is displayed the enor-
mous nest of the wood rat with its inhabitants, while models and
illustrations of the burrows of other mammals and of birds are shown
in cases against the wall. The birds’ eggs are mainly arranged in
three table-top cases. ;

No mammal groups were constructed, but several specimens
mounted separately were added to the series. Foremost among these
was the reticulated giraffe, a fine example, which, being placed along-
side the common form, gives excellent opportunity for observing the
differences between the two. Other large species installed were the
giant eland and the greater koodoo from Africa and the fallow deer
from Europe. Many small mammals other than North American
were also introduced in various faunas, which have hitherto been
very deficient in this respect. The enlarged models of bats’ heads,
referred to in the last report, were finally completed and placed on
exhibition.

The only large group added during the year represents a family of
African ostriches near its nest. It occupies a case of the same size as
that of the lion group, is placed near the outer end of the main hall
between the African mammals and the bird series, and consists of a
pair of adult birds in fine plumage with five chicks. Remnants of
the eggs from which the chicks have just emerged and a couple of
unhatched eggs are lying on the ground in and near the nest. This
forms a very attractive exhibit, is much the finest bird group in the
Museum, and is on a par with the best of the mammal groups. It
was designed and built by Mr. James L. Clark, of New York, who
also mounted the old birds, the young ones being prepared by Mr.
Nelson R. Wood of the Museum staff. The material was from the
Smithsonian African Expedition. Another bird group placed on
exhibition in the African fauna represents the hoatzin. It was con-
structed for and displayed at the St. Louis exposition of 1904, but re-
mained in storage until recently when it was taken out, completely
rebuilt, and greatly improved by Mr. William Palmer. The ex-
hibit is highly interesting in showing the nestling hoatzins climbing

among the branches of the trees by means of the clawed digits of
their wings. The transfer to new cases of the other bird groups men-
tioned in previous reports was completed. Of individual birds a con-
siderable number, mostly African, were prepared and installed. The
case containing the tropical humming birds was entirely rearranged,
and neat brass holders were introduced for supporting the specimens,
thereby greatly improving the appearance of the series.

There were several important additions of reptiles and _ fishes.
One was an American crocodile, 13 feet long, from the older collee-
tion, but entirely made over and placed in excellent condition by
Mr. C. E. Mirguet.. The series of casts of fishes was somewhat in-
creased, but the most novel and attractive exhibit introduced con-
sisted of tropical fishes painted in their natural colors and displayed
in alcohol in flat-faced jars. It occupies two cases and, while the
method of preparation is still to some extent experimental, it is be-
lieved to be fairly permanent. Two further sections of the exhibi-
tion of marine invertebrates, one representing the littoral fauna from
Cape Cod to Cape Hatteras, the other the characteristic forms of
the Floridian fauna, beginning with Cape Hatteras, were opened to
the public; and many specimens for other faunas, especially of
crustaceans, were selected, colored, and mounted.

The series of reptilian and batrachian skeletons was somewhat in-
creased and the latter were entirely rearranged. The synoptic series
was also partly revised, and the insect collection was transferred to
new cases. Many additions were made to the faunal exhibition of the
District of Columbia, including a complete series of all the land and
fresh-water shells of the District, which are installed in a sloping-top
table case so constructed that even the smallest specimens can be ex-
amined under an ordinary hand magnifying glass through the glass
cover of the case.

The division of plants has for the first time been represented to the
public by an exhibition of flower studies in water color, selected
from a series of about 600 sketches by the late Miss Adelia Gates,
recently presented by Miss Eleanor Lewis, her niece, and by others
to whom they had been given by the artist during her life. The dis-
play, which has been installed in the same hall as the marine in-
vertebrates, embraces a wide range of domestic and foreign plants as
well as cultivated varieties.

Explorations—No biological expeditions were sent out by the
Museum during the year, but several field parties not connected with
it were supplied with outfits or assisted in other ways, and material
of considerable interest has been received in return. The principal
explorations by which the collections have been benefited were con-
ducted by other scientific bureaus of the Government, though the
Museum is also greatly indebted to several individuals who have

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 115

given generous support to field work, mainly, if not wholly, in its
interest.

Dr. W. L. Abbott, an associate of the Museum, continued his own
explorations in the Himalayas, besides maintaining Mr. H. C. Raven
in Dutch East Borneo, where, as elsewhere explained, he has been
making large and valuable collections. Dr. Abbott recently sent
Mr. Raven to the island of Celebes on a similar mission, and has
placed at the disposition of the Institution sufficient funds to keep
him in the field for another year. In July, 1913, Mr. John B.
Henderson, a Regent of the Smithsonian Institution, made a dredg-
ing trip to the waters around Chincoteague Island, Va., taking with
him as a guest Dr. Paul Bartsch, assistant curator of mollusks.
They secured a large quantity of material, including several new
mollusks. During May and a part of June, 1914, Mr. Henderson
undertook a much more elaborate expedition to the region off the
northwestern coast of Cuba, having chartered a fishing vessel and
well equipped it for the purpose. By his kind invitation, Dr.
Bartsch was again able to join in the work, his special mission being
to collect and make special preparations of marine invertebrates
needed for the West Indian fauna in the exhibition series. The
party also included Mr. G. W. Gill, who was charged with reproduc-
ing the natural colors of specimens for the exhibits. The explora-
tion was entirely successful, and its results, liberally shared with
the Museum, consisted of both invertebrates and fishes secured by
extensive dredging, towing, and shore collecting. Many specimens
of land animals were also collected during occasional visits on shore.

With Dr. Alfred G. Mayer, director of the Marine Biological
Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution, Dr. Bartsch again visited,
during the latter part of April, the Bahama Cervion plantations on
the Florida Keys, of which accounts were given in the last two re-
ports. These transplantations of large numbers of two races of
Bahama shells of the genus Cerion were undertaken to ascertain the
effect of their transference to a new environment. During this
year’s examination the adults of the first generation were found, and
most interesting results are reported regarding the changes which
these present as compared with the material introduced. <A trip
made by Dr. J. N. Rose, as a research assistant of the Carnegie In-
stitution of Washington, through portions of Colorado, New Mexico,
and Texas, was productive of a large and valuable collection of
Cactaceae and also of other groups of plants, a large proportion of
which will be deposited in the Museum. Mr. G. S. Miller, jr.,
curator of mammals, spent part of his vacation, during February,
1914, at Biloxi, Miss., where he secured many interesting specimens.
Other members of the staff on short trips have also added material
to the collection, a large number of plants and some crayfishes hav-

ing been obtained by Mr. Paul C. Standley and Mr. H. C. Bollman
in North Carolina, and a collection of marine invertebrates from
Plum Point, Md., having been contributed by Mr. William Palmer:

Mr. Arthur de C. Sowerby continued his field work in Manchuria
and northeastern China, sending two lots of mammals, only one of
which was received within the year. In the course of anthropological
investigations in northern Zululand, conducted under the direction
of Dr. AleS Hrdlicka in the joint interest of the Smithsonian Insti-
tution and the Panama-California Exposition, Dr. V. Schiick ob-
tained the skeleton of a black rhinoceros and formalin preparations
of several important carnivores, rodents, primates, and reptiles.
Dr. Albert M. Reese, of the University of West Virginia, visited the
Philippine Islands as a temporary collaborator of the Museum and
secured for its collections many specimens of reptiles, batrachians,
fishes, and marine invertebrates. Dr. Fred Baker, of Point Loma,
Cal., also made a trip, which is still unfinished, to Oceania and the
Orient, largely for the benefit of the Museum, and has already sent
in a considerable amount of noteworthy material, especially fishes,
from Fanning Island and the Philippines. Mr. H. Pittier, of the
Department of Agriculture, while on furlough and conducting an
investigation of the resources of Venezuela, made an extensive
collection of the plants of that country, which he generously pre-
sented to the Museum.

Of Government explorations there were three which merit notice
in this connection because of the immediate returns secured. One
was the oceanographic cruise of the Fisheries schooner Grampus oft
the New England coast during July and August, 1913, in cooperation
with the Museum of Comparative Zodlogy, the work being in charge
of Dr. Henry B. Bigelow of that institution. Large collections of
plankton were made from which many specimens of several groups
have been transferred to the Museum. Prof. A. S. Hitchcock and
Mrs. Agnes Chase, both of the Department of Agriculture, conducted
extensive investigations with special reference to grasses, the former
in southern California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada, the latter in
Porto Rico. Besides grasses, of which a large number were obtained,
many other plants were secured in both regions, and the entire re-
sults have been deposited in the Museum. Prof. Hitchcock had with
him as assistant his son, Mr. A. E. Hitchcock, who attended to the
miscellaneous collecting.

DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY.

The total number of accessions pertaining to this department was
199, with an aggregate of 16,693 specimens, which were assigned to
the several divisions and sections, as follows: Systematic and ap-
plied geology, 775; mineralogy and petrology, 2,873; invertebrate

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914, brs

paleontology, 11,041; vertebrate paleontology, 1,430; and_paleo-
botany, 574. There were also received for examination and report
546 lots of specimens, of which 217 were geological, 280 mineralogical,
and 49 fossils, and it is interesting to note that in the material sent
for this purpose there has been a great increase in the proportional
amount supposed to contain radioactive minerals. While the Mu-
seum has not the means for making detailed analyses of specimens,
simple determinations are generally sufficient to decide their nature
and general value and of all of the specimens received in this con-
nection during last year only 27 were of any interest either to science
or to the Museum.

Systematic and applied geology—The Royal Ontario Museum of
Mineralogy, of Toronto, Canada, transmitted as an exchange a series
of rocks and ores illustrating the geology and petrology of the Sud-
bury nickel region and the Cobalt mining district, including some
exceptionally good exhibition examples of native silver in gangue
and of nickel-cobalt minerals. The American Vanadium Co., of
Pittsburgh, Pa., presented a suite of the recently described Peruvian
minerals quisqueite, patronite, and other forms. A gift from the
Mason Valley Mines Co., of Mason, Nev., through Mr. Victor C.
Heikes, consisted of a large specimen of native copper, weighing
some 200 pounds and forming an attractive addition to the recently
installed exhibition of this metal. Two sections of the trunk of a
fossil tree impregnated with carnotite, quite unusual in character
and important for display, were obtained from Grand Junction,
Colo., by purchase. Also worthy of mention are the following gifts:
From Mr. Charles H. Hussey, Mr. M. S. Duffield, and Mr. F. L.
Woods, of Ogden, Utah, a piece of a 6-inch quartz vein, weighing
over 100 pounds and containing an abundant development of blade-
like crystals of tungsten ore; and from the Maine Feldspar Co., of
Brunswick, Me., large specimens of pegmatite well illustrating the
phenomenon of graphic intergrowth of quartz and feldspar, and
many hand specimens of feldspar of the grade used in the manu-
facture of pottery.

Among the additions to the building stone exhibit were a slab of
dark Mohegan granite, measuring 32 by 32 by 3 inches thick, and
two 5-inch cubes, from Peekskill, N. Y., presented by the Mohegan
Granite Co.; and two large slabs, measuring 78 by 20 inches, of “ Mar
Villa” marble from the quarries of the Beaver Dam Marble Co., at
Cockeysville, Md. A number of slabs of marbles which had been
submitted in connection with the competition for the Lincoln
Memorial in Washington were contributed by the Amicalola Marble
Co., of Ball Ground, Ga.; the Lee Marble Works, of Lee, Mass.; Wm.
Bradley & Son, of Long Island City, N. Y.; the Colorado Yule

118 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

“Marble Co., of Marble, Colo.; and the Beaver Dam Marble Co., of
Baltimore, Md.

Important material for the meteorite collection, obtained by gift
and purchase from Mrs. Coonley Ward, included a fine exhibition
slab, weighing 12 pounds, of the Estacado, Tex., meteoric stone, and
good exhibition examples of the Pultusk, Knyahinya, Gilgoin, Alfian-
ello, Mocs, Canyon City, and Descubridora falls. Specimens of the
Deep Springs, Hammond, Vigarano, Mount Browne, and Mount
Dyrring meteorites were also acquired through exchange.

The routine work of the year, aside from that connected with the
exhibits, consisted, as usual, in the assorting, labeling, recording, and
care of specimens. Much time was spent, however, in sorting out,
labeling, and packing duplicate material for distribution to educa-
tional institutions, and so thoroughly was this done that no further
systematic sets can be put up at present. Requiring the careful iden-
tification of every specimen used, the amount of labor involved in
this work is much greater than is generally supposed. Two series
were prepared, one comprising 100 sets of 85 specimens each of min-
erals and ores, the other 17 sets of 74 specimens each of minerals,
rocks, and ores.

The head curator, Dr. George P. Merrill, continued the work begun
in 1910, under a grant from the National Academy of Sciences, on
the minor constituents of meteorites, and incidentally prepared a
manuscript for an illustrated and descriptive catalogue of the
Museum meteorite collection. The tests on the relative solubility of
the various kinds of building stones, mentioned in last year’s report,
are approaching completion.

Mineralogy and petrology—The most important accession, re-
ceived from Mr. Walter M. Chandler, of Washington, consisted of
50 mineral specimens, including exceptionally good examples of
wulfenite, crocoite, natrochalcite, and chalcanthite, obtained in ex-
change, besides an excellent specimen of malachite from northern
Rhodesia and a bowlder from Roberts Victor Diamond Mine, Orange
River Colony, South Africa, which were presented. Mr. Clarence 8S.
Bement, of Philadelphia, Pa., contributed six unusually fine speci-
mens of benitoite, neptunite, maucherite, semseyite, and whewellite,
and a rare form of fluorite. Fifteen minerals, mostly new and rare,
and of special value for the reserve series, were received from Dr.
IF. Krantz, of Bonn, Germany, in exchange, and a fine large crystal
of topaz from Texas was purchased.

Among the additional gifts were three fine specimens of cupro-
clescloizite, the type material of a variety recently described by Dr.
R. C. Wells, of the Geological Survey, received from Mr. Philip D.
Wilson, of Bisbee, Ariz.; a large specimen of hodgkinsonite, the type
of this lately defined species, received from Mr. H. H. Hodgkinson,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 119

of Franklin Furnace, N. J.; examples of the rare earths torbernite,
autunite, carnotite, davidite, tyuyamunite, and cyrtolite, from various
localities, all of which are especially desirable in the present condi-
tion of our knowledge regarding radioactivity, received from Mr.
Frank L. Hess, of the Geological Survey; 11 specimens of native
copper from Mexico, and 9 specimens of carnotite from Mauch
Chunk, Pa., received from Lehigh University; one of the few, pos-
sibly three, known specimens of the mineral sulphohalite, from Dr.
Samuel P. Sadtler, of Philadelphia, Pa.; an unusually large speci-
men of pollucite from Maine, from Mr. P. 8. Dudley, of Buckfield,
Me.; a large mass of carnotite on davidite, from Mr. F. J. Spence,
of Adelaide, Australia; two specimens of ferberite, with chrysocolla,
and a new copper tungstate in pegmatite, from Mr. 8. H. Brock-
unier, of Nevada City, Cal.; a large mass of crystallized vivianite,
from Mr. Charles Brown and Mr. John Pearson, of Dent, Idaho;
and a stalactite coated with calcite and malachite crystals, an attrac-
tive exhibition specimen, from Mr. W. P. Jennings, of Salt Lake
City, Utah. The type specimens of inyoite and meyerhofferite, and a
large crystal of bloedite, all recently described by Dr. Schaller, were
deposited by the Geological Survey; and 14 good exhibition speci-
mens of pyrite and tetrahedrite were secured in exchange from the
Deseret Museum at Salt Lake City, Utah.

All of the important accessions in petrology were received from
the Geological Survey. They consisted of the usual quadrangle
series from the following districts, namely, Eastport, Me.; Colorado
Springs, Colo.; Philipsburg and Butte, Mont.; Tacoma, Wash.;
Deming, N. Mex.; Santa Cruz, Cal.; and Ellijay, N. C.; besides a
collection illustrating Bulletin 492 of the Geological Survey, en-
titled “The gabbros and associated rocks of Preston, Conn.,” and
a series of rocks collected by Mr. Whitman Cross at the Hawaiian
Islands in 1902, and yet to be described.

Mr. Edgar T. Wherry, assistant curator of the division, who
came to the Museum only at the beginning of the year, has had
very little time for research work, having been mainly occupied with
routine duties. He prepared one brief paper for publication and
gave critical consideration to the nomenclature of minerals and the
correct stating of mineral localities, with the view of standardizing
the labeling of the collections. The assembling and preparation of
an exhibition series of radioactive minerals also engaged his at-
tention.

Invertebrate paleontology.—The Smithsonian Institution deposited
about 150 type specimens of Cambrian fossils figured by Secretary
Walcott in volume 57, Nos. 9 and 18, of the Smithsonian Miscel-
laneous Collections, and about 5,000 specimens of the unexcelled
Middle Cambrian fossils from the Burgess shale of British Columbia,

120 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

collected by the Secretary, which, though containing no types, are
most valuable as additions to the reserve and exhibition series. A
second important lot of types, consisting of 150 specimens of Silu-
rian Bryozoa and Ostracoda, was the result of a study, by the curator
of the division, of the Yale University collections from the island of
Anticosti, and were presented in the name of the Peabody Museum
of Natural History. Still another series of types, represented by
25 specimens of “'vogyra, described and figured by Mr. L. W. Stephen-
son in Professional Paper No. 81, of the Geological Survey, was
deposited by the Survey. Other accessions from the Survey included
a collection of Carboniferous invertebrates from the Manzano group
of New Mexico, described by Dr. George H. Girty in Survey Bul-
letin 889; a single specimen, deserving mention from the fact that it
is a figured echinoid from the Miocene of California; and some 30
slabs of shale containing numerous well-preserved fossil insects ob-
tained in the Green River formation of eastern Utah by Mr. E. G.
Woodruff.

About 38,000 specimens of Paleozoic fossils from various locali-
ties in Canada were received as a gift from Dr. E. O. Ulrich, of
Washington, by whom they were collected during field work in the
summer of 1918. They are particularly valuable as they were se-
lected with special reference to the needs of the Museum, and certain
early Silurian faunas in Ontario are well represented. <A series of
Tertiary mollusks and Ordovician graptolites from Australia con-
stitute an important exchange from Mr. James Hay Young, of Mere-
dith, Victoria. The graptolites have proved excepticnally interest-
ing for comparison with American species, as their study has shown
the identity of numerous species in these two widely separated areas.

Owing to the greatly increased subdivision of the geologic time
scale, resulting from recent active work in stratigraphic geology and
paleontology, it has become necessary to register and locate the col-
lections of invertebrate paleontology in greater detail than was
previously customary. While this requirement entails much addi-
tional labor, especially as regards the older collections, excellent prog-
ress has been made with the Cambrian, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic ma-
terial, and the work is well under way with the general Paleozoic col-
lections. The preparation and installation of the Cambrian collec-
tions has been rapidly advanced, as Secretary Walcott was able dur-
ing last year to give more of his time than usual to its supervision.
One of the results was that many of the faunal series previously
filling a large number of drawers have, through the process of mak-
ing them ready for study, been so reduced in bulk as to occupy a
minimum amount of space. Of particular importance has been the
accurate location in the Cambrian period of the numerous faunas
from the upper Mississippi Valley. Through the efforts of the

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. yal

Secretary and Dr. E. O. Ulrich, the lower Paleozoic section of this
area was worked out in detail, and the representation of its fossils
in the National Museum is the best of the Upper Cambrian or St.
Croixan period extant. Other Cambrian material prepared and
studied during the year was the Millward collection from China,
the trilobites of the southern Appalachians, several collections from
Idaho and Missouri, and the abundant material from the Burgess
shale and other formations of British Columbia, obtained by the
Secretary during the summer of 1918. These collections are in all
cases quite extensive, the last mentioned consisting of 4,000 pounds
of small, carefully selected specimens. |

Work on the reserve collections of Paleozoic fossils in general pro-
ceeded as follows: About 100 standard drawers, containing approx!-
mately one-half of the Cambrian brachiopod types, were labeled,
completing this task. AJl type specimens received during the year
were catalogued and appropriately marked. About 200 drawers of
specimens were furnished with locality tags, and approximately
2,000 additional drawers were overhauled preparatory to the same
treatment. Thirty boxes were removed from storage and their con-
tents examined and classified. All card catalogues were brought
down to date. This amount of work was only made possible through
the assistance of members of the Geclogical Survey, and especially of
Dr. Ulrich. As a further aid, the services of a preparator were fur-
nished for one year by the State geologists of Missouri and Wiscon-
sin, in return for reports on the stratigraphy of those States, to be
prepared by Dr. Ulrich, assisted by the curator.

The curator spent some time in the preparation of illustrations
from Museum specimens for the monograph on Paleozoic starfishes,
by Prof. Charles Schuchert, and he also selected and had figured about
250 specimens of Paleozoic Ostracoda, to be described in a contem-
plated monograph of these fossil crustaceans. Mr. Frank Springer,
associate in paleontology, continued work on the classification and
arrangement of the fossil] echinoderms. He likewise identified the
yarious collections of crinoids and blastoids obtained by him during
the year and prepared several slabs of crinoids for exhibition. The
Mesozoic fossils received were placed in museum shape by Dr. T. W.
Stanton and Mr. T. E. Williard, and, with the exception of 25
boxes representing the Hyatt collection, all the Mesozoic material
remaining in storage was withdrawn. The reception of 20 new steel
cases relieved the very troublesome congestion which had _ pre-
vailed, but at the same time it necessitated the entire rearrangement
of the Tertiary collections in charge of Dr. W. H. Dall. With the
assistance of Dr. C. W. Cooke, of the Geological Survey, this gen-
eral arrangement was completed and a large quantity of unimpor-
tant and duplicate material was eliminated. An index card cata-

122 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

logue, by the aid of which any particular lot of Tertiary fossils can
readily be found, is in course of preparation. Additional room space
allotted to Dr. T. W. Vaughan also made requisite a complete rear-
rangement of the Tertiary corals, which was carried forward as far
as cases were available.

The amount of research work accomplished was extensive. Secre-
tary Charles D. Walcott completed and published his studies of the
Dikelocephaline trilobites, and on the Cambrian and its problems
in the Cordilleran region. He also continued work on the pre-Cam-
brian Algonkian algal flora of North America, which has yielded
unexpected results. Dr. William H. Dall finished a preliminary
identification of the Tertiary fossils from the Panama Canal Zone,
made good progress with his investigation of the Pacific coast Ter-
tiary, and had about ready for submitting a monograph on the mol-
luscan fauna of the Orthaulax pugnax zone of Florida.

Mr. Frank Springer completed the descriptive matter for the 75
quarto plates illustrating his monograph on the Crinoidea flewibilia,
and brought the preparation of the text to such a point that he soon
expects to send it to the press. The illustrations for his monograph
on the crinoid genus Seyphocrinus, which had been delayed, were
finished, and the work will shortly be ready for publication. With
these important investigations disposed of, Mr. Springer expects to
continue his studies on the Silurian crinoids of western Tennessee,
the classic locality from which he has large collections. The illus-
trations for a large part of this work have already been made. Prof.
William B. Clark, of Johns Hopkins University, and Dr. M. W.
Twitchell, assistant State geologist of New Jersey, have collaborated
on a monograph based mainly upon Museum specimens of the Meso-
zoic and Cenozoic Echinodermata of the United States, which will
be published by the Geological Survey.

Dr. E. O. Ulrich, associate in paleontology, spent considerable time
in a study of the early Silurian collections of the Museum, the re-
sults of which have been embodied in a bulletin entitled ‘“‘ The Medina
and Clinton Formations of the Appalachian Valley,” which has been
offered to the Geological Survey for publication. Dr. Ulrich and
the curator also prepared the text for the Cincinnati Folio of the
Survey, in which many Museum specimens will be illustrated.

The principal contribution by the curator, Dr. R. S. Bassler, was
in the form of a bulletin of 500 or more pages entitled “ Bibliography
and Synonymy of American Ordovician and Silurian Fossils,” which
contains, in addition to the matter indicated by the title, a register
of the Museum’s rich type collection of these two periods. The
curator also completed a report on the early Silurian Bryozoa and
Ostracoda of the island of Anticosti, Canada, based upon specimens
now the property of the National Museum, which will be published

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 1238

by the Canadian Geological Survey. He likewise continued work in
joint authorship with Dr. Ferdinand Canu, of Versailles, France,
on a monograph of American Tertiary Bryozoa, which at the end
of the year had grown to such proportions that it became necessary
to subdivide it. The first volume, which will deal with the early
Tertiary Bryozoa, will be published by the United States Geological
Survey.

Vertebrate paleontology.—Especially noteworthy among the ac-
cessions to this section were some 600 separate bones of vertebrates
from the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in northwestern Montana,
collected by Mr. Charles W. Gilmore, assistant curator, while on de-
tail with the Geological Survey, by which they were transferred to
the Museum. Aside from filling important gaps in the reptilian
series, this material furnished the type of a new species, Brachy-
ceratops montanensis Gilmore, as well as an exceptional specimen for
exhibition. Also of much importance are several hundred specimens
obtained by Mr. James W. Gidley, assistant curator, in the course of
further explorations of the cave deposit near Cumberland, Md.,
begun the previous year. They include many nearly complete skulls,
jaws, and articulate feet and limbs, belonging in part to genera and
species not previously reported from the locality. A mountable
skeleton and several good skulls of a new genus of peccary are not-
able; and bears, small carnivores, rodents, etc., are well represented.

Collections made by Mr. William Palmer and Mr. Norman H.
Boss, of the Museum staff, in Miocene deposits near Chesapeake
Beach, Md., contain a nearly complete skeleton, with skull and jaws,
and a second nearly perfect skull of fossil porpoises, both suitable for
exhibition purposes, besides several more or less fragmental parts
of porpoises and other cetaceans. A small beak secured by Mr. Boss
is of particular interest on account of the perfect preservation of the
jaws and teeth. A skull, lower jaw, and five cervical vertebrze of the
fossil bison, Bison alleni, from Alaska, a fine exhibition specimen,
was obtained by purchase from Dr. O. P. Hay; and the type speci-
men of Crossotelos annulatus Case was received in exchange from
Dr. E. C. Case, of the University of Michigan. Valuable material
was also contained in 10 other small accessions.

Some 66 boxes of the “ Marsh collection” were opened and their
contents worked out. Much other material from the Geological Sur-
vey, resulting from more recent field work, was also made ready for
study. The most important progress on the reptile collection com-
prised the mounting of the nearly complete skeleton of the new
dinosaur, Vhescelosaurus neglectus, and of a partial skeleton of the
duck-billed form, Z’rachodon, the practical completion of the work
of cleaning up the Stegosaurus material; the preparation of partial
skeletons of five individuals of the Ceratopsian dinosaur Brachy-

124 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

ceratops, of specimens of the trachodont reptile Hypacrosaurus, and
of the turtle Hchmatemys; and the remounting of the hind limbs of
Allosaurus fragilis. The principal mammalian material prepared
was the fine porpoise skeleton from Chesapeake Beach, Md., and a
considerable part of the collection from the Pleistocene cave deposit
near Cumberland, Md. Complete or partial skeletons of Brachycera-
tops montanensis, Stegosaurus, Trachodon, Sinopa, Huplatygonus,
Epigaulus, and Canis dirus were ready for mounting at the close of
the year.

Mr. James W. Gidley, assistant curator in charge of fossil mam-
mals, extended his study of fossil pycnodont fishes to include three
additional forms, descriptions of which were published during the
year. He also continued work on the Fort Union material and sub-
mitted a paper defining an important species apparently represent-
ing some of the living families of Australian marsupials. A second
paper on two other groups of Fort Union mammals was practically
completed. In addition to descriptions of several new species, it
includes a general discussion in which a genus of the creodont family
Arctocyonidee is advocated as representing the ancestral group which
gave rise to the modern bears. Further investigation of this basal
Eocene material emphasizes more and more its great importance.
Already recognizable representatives of at least five modern groups
of mammals, not heretofore believed to have existed at so early a
stage, have been found, and the final result will doubtless be to very
materially change the accepted theories regarding the derivation and
phyletic relations of the later prehistoric and present-day groups of
mammals.

Mr. Charles W. Gilmore, assistant curator. in charge of fossil
reptiles, completed an extended paper on the “Armored dinosaurs
in the United States National Museum, with especial reference to the
osteology of Stegosaurus,” which had been in preparation for three
years. He also published a description of the new genus and species
Brachyceratops montanensis, » small horned dinosaur from the
Upper Cretaceous of Montana, and made good progress on a more
detailed account of the osteology of the same and of other reptiles
from Montana, which will be issued by the Geological Survey under
whose auspices the material was collected. The osteology of Z'hes-
celosaurus, a preliminary account of which was printed the previous
year, was likewise the subject of study by Mr. Gilmore, and he had
in preparation a chapter on the Dinosauria and other fossil reptiles
for a geological guidebook to be published by the Survey.

The services of Dr. C. R. Eastman were secured to revise the col-
lection of fossil fishes, on which he was engaged during the last half
of the year. Over 5,000 individual specimens, besides a large number
of fragments, were examined; old identifications were verified or

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914, 125

corrected, and the new materials described. A report upon this in-
vestigation remains to be submitted. Dr. O. P. Hay, who is en-
gaged, under the Carnegie Institution of Washington, in the study
of the vertebrate animal life of the North American Pleistocene
period, was furnished, as heretofore, with accommodations for his
work in the National Museum. Up to the present time his atten-
tion has been mainly directed to the larger land mammals, and pri-
marily to a correct determination of the species found and their rela-
tion to the various divisions of the Pleistocene, as now recognized.
In furtherance of this research he has studied the Museum collec-
tions as well as those elsewhere available, and is preparing important
papers, accompanied by maps, showing the geographical distribu-
tion of all reported finds, some of which have already been published.

Paleobotany—Three valuable type collections of fossil plants were
received from the Geological Survey, as follows: About 150 speci-
mens from Cape Lisburne, Alaska, obtained by Mr. Arthur J. Col-
lier in 1904 and described by Dr. F. H. Knowlton; 168 specimens
from the Tuscaloosa formation of Alabama, described by Mr. E. W.
Berry; and a series of Cretaceous and Tertiary forms from South
Carolina and Georgia, described by Mr. Berry. Another accession,
comprising 45 specimens of fossil wood from the Leeward Islands,
collected by the Geological Survey and the Carnegie Institution of
Washington during joint field work, was acquired by transfer from
the former and as a gift from the latter.

The most important work of the year was the completion of a
card index of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic plants, which required the
detailed overhauling of over 2,500 drawers of specimens, by Mr.
T. E. Williard, of the Geological Survey, under the direction of Dr.
F. H. Knowlton. With the preparation of a similar catalogue of
the Paleozoic plants during the previous year, under Mr. David
White, it is now possible to locate any parts of the paleobotanical
collections without delay. Moreover, no fossil plant material re-
mains in storage.

Dr. Arthur Hollick, of the New York Botanical Garden, spent
over two months in a continuation of his studies on the Cretaceous
and Tertiary floras of Alaska, while Dr. E. W. Berry, of Johns
Hopkins University, was engaged in paleobotanic researches cover-
ing the Upper Cretaceous and Eocene strata of the Atlantic Coast
Plain. Both of these pieces of work, which are being based on the
Museum collections, are so extensive that several years will be re-
quired for their completion.

Exhibition collections—F¥or the display of new accessions of im-
portant mineral specimens, awaiting opportunity for their proper
assignment, a Kensington case was provided near the east end of
the mineral hall, and it will be possible to keep it approximately

126 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

filled at all times. In view of the exceptional interest in the subject
at this time, a special collection of radio-active material was brought
together, and is attracting much attention. It consists of all suit-
able specimens that were in the possession of the Museum, besides a
number of others obtained for the purpose, and is arranged in a
double American case, in which has also been placed a series of min-
erals illustrating physical properties as an introduction to the study
of the systematic collection.

In the hall of applied geology a new exhibit of native copper,
together with a small amount of naturally associated gangue min-
erals, was installed in one floor upright case. The pieces range from
small hand specimens of arborescent growth to large thin sheets over
2 feet in diameter, and many grotesque forms are shown as well as
specimens whose chief interest lies in the light they throw on the
genesis and geologic associations of native copper. The two older
cases devoted to copper now contain exhibits essentially of the com-
pounds of this mineral. The general display of iron ores, compris-
ing a little over 300 specimens, both domestic and foreign, was rear-
ranged in three new wall cases, while that of the Tenth Census iron
ores was enlarged and rearranged by species under States. The
collection relating to the geology and mining industry of Leadville,
Colo., was reorganized with such a selection and arrangement of
rock and ore samples as will amply and systematically illustrate the
subject as described in Emmons’ report on the Leadville district.
A series of ore specimens of silver, cobalt and nickel minerals in
their natural gangue associations, from Cobalt, Ontario, was installed
in a large case. Some of these are cut and polished and serve excel-
lently to illustrate the paragenesis of the ores of this locality. In
the same case the geology of the Sudbury district, Ontario, is also
illustrated by a group of hand specimens of granitic and ore-bearing
basic intrusives. Some large and notable examples of ornamental
ctones were added to the economic series, and the exhibit of natural
substances used for abrasive purposes was much improved.

In systematic geology, the meteorite collection was rearranged to
fill one wall and one American case, the section from the Marengo
Cave was installed in a more fitting manner, and a collection of
varied imitative forms and one showing Indian laterites were added.

In invertebrate paleontology the new installations comprised illus-
trations of the more important and characteristic fossil corals in an
American case, a similar collection of fossil Medusew, and smaller
exhibits of fossil holothurians and echinoids. The crustaceans of
the family Eurypteridx were rearranged to occupy the greater part
of an upright metal case, and the final preparatory work and general
restoring of the fossil crinoids in three upright cases were completed
and permanent printed labels added. In vertebrate paleontology,

the skeletons of the two reptiles 7hescelosaurus neglectus and Allo-
saurus fragilis, elsewhere referred to, were installed, the porpoise
skeleton from Chesapeake Beach, Md., was temporarily placed, and
a long wall case was utilized for partial skeletons of early mammals.
In paleobotany the exhibit of fossil wood was improved by placing
it in two long wall cases; several greatly enlarged photographs rep-
resenting fossil forests of Carboniferous and Mesozoic age, and a
number of large illustrations of restorations of Paleozoic plants,
were added. :

Explorations —The only field work of importance was carried on
in connection with the division of paleontology, although the head
curator made some observations in the summer of 1913 while col-
lecting feldspar for the educational series, and briefly studied a
pyroxenite occurrence at South Freeport, Me.

Two explorations were conducted by Secretary Walcott during the
season of 1913, one in the Robson Peak District of British Colum-
bia and Alberta, Canada, the other at the celebrated Middle Cam-
brian localities near Field, British Columbia. In both regions the
investigations of previous summers were continued and rich col-
lections of fossils, including a number of new genera and species,
were obtained. The material brought to Washington aggregated
about two tons of carefully selected specimens. The curator of the
division, Dr. Bassler, spent several weeks of the summer in con-
tinuation of his studies of the Cambrian and Ordovician rocks of
western Maryland, completing the geologic mapping of this area ard
securing many fossils. During July, under detail to the Geological
Survey, he mapped the Hamilton and Mason quadrangles of south-
western Ohio. In June, 1914, he made a trip through some of the
Southern States, studying in detail the stratigraphy of certain Ter-
tiary formations and collecting fossil Bryozoa required for the com-
pletion of his monograph on this group.

Under the direction of Mr. Frank Springer, Mr. Frederick Braun
engaged in extensive collecting work during the season of 1913 in
Illinois and adjoining States, with special reference to securing cri-
noids from the Chester division of the Mississippian. The results of
this exploration have enabled Mr. Springer to definitely correlate
certain upper Mississippian formations in various regions which have
hitherto been in doubt, and several excellent slabs of crinoids and
blastoids, invaluable for exhibition purposes, were obtained.

During six weeks of July and August, 1913, Mr. Charles W. Gil-
more was detailed to the Geological Survey to enable him to collect
Upper Cretaceous vertebrate fossils in the Blackfeet Indian Reserva-
tion in northwestern Montana. Though the material obtained was
not extensive in amount, it included a very valuable series of dino-
saurian remains, none of which had previously been represented in

128 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

the Museum. Mr. James W. Gidley examined the Pleistocene cave
deposit at Cumberland, Md., on several occasions, and secured much
interesting material, including a nearly complete skeleton of a large
peccary-like animal, besides many good skulls of this and other
species, some of which had not previously been discovered. He also
visited a cave deposit at Renick, W. Va., on the Green Brier River,
where specimens similar to those found at Cumberland, were col-
lected. A few short trips were made by Mr. Norman H. Boss and Mr.
William Palmer to the Miocene marl deposit in the vicinity of
Chesapeake Beach, Md., where they obtained some 30 specimens of
fossil cetaceans, including one fine porpoise skeleton and _ several
more or less complete skulls of porpoises and whales.

Dr. E. T. Wherry spent three weeks during June, 1914, under the
auspices of the Geological Survey in areal mapping for the folio
publication of the Reading and Allentown quadrangles in eastern
Pennsylvania.

THE ARTS AND INDUSTRIES.

Textiles —aAs was to be expected, with the spread of information
as to the organization and activities of this division, so recently
reestablished, there was a considerable increase during last year, both
in the number of accessions and in the general value of the material
received, manufacturers and others entering cordially into the
scheme of building up a collection that would be both comprehensive
in its scope and practical in its purposes. Following are the more
important of the accessions, all of which were of the nature of gifts
except where otherwise stated:

The Messrs. Cheney Bros., of South Manchester, Conn., added
to their already important exhibition a large series of specimens
illustrating steps in the processes followed in weaving, printing,
and finishing silk goods; examples of silk scarfs made up from
standard weaves of tie silks, and woven and knit cravats both fin-
ished and as they come from the loom or knitting machines; printed
silk flags made during the presidential campaign of James G. Blaine,
being among the earliest prints made on silk by copper rollers; and
specimens of various kinds of taffeta, satin, grosgrain, ottoman, and
velvet ribbons. This firm also presented the oldest model of the
Grant silk reel, a machine invented in 1882 by James Munroe Grant
while employed in the Hartford mill of the Cheney Bros., by
means of which the thread forming the skein is crossed at regular
intervals, the cross in the skein preventing tangling during dyeing
and subsequent handling.

Samples of surface-printed broad silks, woven, printed, and fin-
ished in the American plant of the Duplan Silk Co., in New York,
from designs prepared in the Martine School of Decorative Art,

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 129

Paris, under the direction of M. Paul Poiret, were contributed by
the company. These silks are the first of the kind to be made
in America and sold abroad, and are not generally recognized as of
domestic manufacture. One of the patterns is printed with wooden
blocks by hand, and is among the first of hand-block printing on a
heavy silk fabric produced in this country.

Messrs. M. C. Migel & Co., of New York, presented specimens of
“ad hoc” printing on pussy willow taffeta brocade, being examples
of the first successful work of this nature done in the United States.
The combination of the purity and transparent qualities of the block-
printed colors with the bold relief effect of the brocade pattern and
the softness of the pure dye taffeta fabric gives very rich and beau-
tiful results. From Messrs. KE. & Z. Van Raalte, of New York, the
Museum received a series of 24 styles of American-made face veilings,
the first high-grade material of this character designed and made in
this country; from the Forest Silk Co., of New York, 12 samples
of brocaded novelty silks used for dress trimmings, of designs pre-
pared for the fall season of 1914; and from Mitsui & Co., of New
York, a commercial package or “book” of the best grade of raw
Japanese silk, showing the method of packing and wrapping to
exclude dust and moisture.

A collection of fancy wash dress goods and shirtings from the
Aberfoyle Manufacturing Co., of Chester, Pa., comprises pleasing
and artistic combinations of plain, ratine and mercerized cotton
yarns with spun silk and viscose silk in plain and fancy weaves.
Most of the samples represent goods manufactured for the fall season
of 1914 and exhibited in the Museum before being sold to the public.

The Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture
deposited in the Museum the extensive collection of wools and woolen
products illustrating methods of grading and manufacture and sug-
gested improvements in breeding and marketing raw wools, which
had been prepared by the Division of Animal Husbandry for the con-
ference of growers and manufacturers of wool held in Washington,
June 24, 1914. The series includes examples of the deteriorating
effects of disease and poor range on the quality of the wool and of the
defects shown in finished fabrics traceable to improper methods of
marking sheep and tying fleeces. It also contains specimens illus-
trating the steps in the processes of worsted spinning by both the
English and French systems and the preparation and mixing of raw
materials for the manufacture of woolen fabrics. From the Pacific
Mills, at Lawrence, Mass., through Messrs. Lawrence & Co., there
was received a collection of 3-yard samples of piece-dyed worsted
dress goods and linings, including serge, diagonal, panama cloth,
luster cloth, crépe, voile, batiste, challie, prunella cloth, ratine, alba-
tross, coat linings, ete.

The Universal Winding Co., of Boston, Mass., placed in the
Museum as a loan their original gyroscope machine, which has served
as the basis for many other patents. By the system of winding
developed by this appliance the thread or yarn is laid on a support-
ing cylindrical or conical center in regular helical coils which reverse
with a sharp bend, each coil crossing over the preceding one, binding
it in place at each crossing. The coils form a compact self-support-
ing package and when unwound deliver the yarn without twisting or
tension. The same company also contributed a series of specimens
illustrating the various kinds of work done by their machines, includ-
ing the winding of such materials as raw, spun, and artificial silk,
fine and coarse, plain and mercerized cotton yarns, glazed twine, shoe
thread, binder twine, jute and cotton cords, asbestos yarn, tape, sisal
rope, japanned wire, etc. These materials are wound in packages
of various sizes and shapes and on tubes, cones, quills, bobbins,
cops, etc.

For samples of white and colored fancy cotton and cotton and
artificial silk dress goods, including matelassé, piques, ratines, and
other seasonable wash goods, the division is indebted to Lesher,
Whitman & Co., of New York; for 85 samples of plain and fancy
cotton wash dress goods, stock or yarn dyed, and woven in plain,
checked, plaid, and striped effects, to the Parkhill Manufacturing
Co., of Fitchburg, Mass.; for specimens of old English hand-printed
chintzes, fabrics, and designs which are being revived and are now
in favor for interior decoration and upholstery, to Witcombe, Mc-
Geachin & Co., of New York; for examples of crinkled seersucker,
Jap crépe, Devonshire cloth, and zephyr madras woven from plain
and erépe cotton yarns, and of satin-finished cotton table damask, to
the Renfrew Manufacturing Co., of Adams, Mass.; for specimens of
fancy printed velveteens, used for millinery trimmings and for
vestees, including examples of pigment printing in gold and silver
effects, to Messrs. Henry Kupfer & Co., of New York; for samples of
cotton and silk dress goods and linings, including cotton fabrics
finished to imitate those made of silk and of wool, to Messrs. A. G.
Hyde & Sons, of New York; for samples of imported and domestic
cotton dress goods woven from novelty and ratine yarns, which meet
the demands of the season for rough-surfaced fabrics, to Wood-
ward & Lothrop, of Washington.

Messrs. William Liddell & Co., of New York, contributed speci-
mens of fine grass-bleached Irish linen, unbleached damask table-
cloth linen, fine linen damask tablecloths made in Belfast, and also
a series of flax products from the seed to the finished fabric.

_ The donations of ribbons included warp-printed and satin-brocaded
ribbons, comprising some of the very finest material of this character
produced in the United States, from Messrs. Smith & Kaufmann, of

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 131

New York; a collection of pure dye silk ribbons, made, finished,
moiréed, etc., in Paterson, N. J., and woven on high-speed looms of
American manufacture, consisting of examples of satin, taffeta, gros-
grain, ottoman, and warp-printed ribbons, from the Taylor-Friedsam
Co., of New York; and a representation of broad ratine ribbons with
shghtly rippled silk stripes in bayadere style, made from cotton and
artificial silk, which are extensively used for millinery trimmings and
girdles, from Messrs. Pelgram & Meyer, of Paterson, N. J.

A very instructive exhibit of specimens and photographs illustrat-
ing the manufacture of fur felt ‘hats was presented by the John B.
Stetson Co., of Philadelphia, Pa. It includes raw and carroted
beaver, nutria, hare, and coney skins; samples of graded, blown, and
sorted furs; specimens of all the kinds of leather and silk trimmings
used, together with both soft and stiff hats in the several stages of
manufacture, from the formed hat body to the finished hat; and also
an assortment of soft and stiff hats characteristic of certain styles.
The manufacture of linoleum, including the raw materials, examples
showing the effect of successive printings, and patterns of different
types of finished goods, is also represented in the same manner in a
contribution from the Armstrong Cork Co., of Lancaster, Pa. A
series of specimens illustrating successive stages in the knitting, cut-
ting, and finishing of infants’ underwear, of which the materials are
fine Australian worsted yarn with cotton, or a mixture of silk and
fine Australian wool, was received from the Earnshaw Knitting Co.,
of Chicago, Ill. The garments are trimmed with a special twistless
tape, woven from right-and-left twisted yarns, so that the child may
be dressed without the use of pins or buttons.

Acknowledgments are due to the Cassella Color Co., of New York,
for a collection of coal distillation products and dyestuffs illustrat-
ing the artificial color industry, prepared especially for the Museum.
It includes the principal products obtained from coal, the middle
products which serve as the source of the several important series
of artificial coloring matters, and examples of typical, standard
dyestuffs. Instead of being arranged on the lines usually adopted
for elucidating the development of organic chemistry, the collection
has been made comprehensive from the standpoint of the textile
industry, the names used being such as are referred to in scientific
and technical literature and are well known in the industry.

A number of baskets and hand-woven textiles, made by the moun-
taineer people of Kentucky, North Carolina, and Virginia, being
examples of the fine handicraft work of these neglected Americans,
were purchased from the Southern Industrial Educational Associa-
tion; and a hand-woven coverlet made in 1827 by Miss Elizabeth
Harmon in Highland County, Va., an excellent and carefully pre-
served specimen of hand weaving, was also purchased.

132 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

The Bureau of Education at Manila, P. I., furnished in exchange
a series of five grades of knotted abaca fiber and implements for
spinning and reeling the same and cotton. Each grade is nested in a
basket and weighted down with gravel to prevent tangling while
being reeled. After careful grading, the fibers are tied end to end,
using a small, hard knot, following which the resultant continuous
fiber is treated like a spun yarn. There is a very large trade in
knotted abaca for both home consumption and export; it is woven
into fabrics and hat braids. A tiré filet bedspread and bolster made
by expert needlewomen in Porto Rico, a beautiful example of the
handicraft work of these people, prepared as a wedding gift for a
prominent American girl, was purchased.

Besides textiles and textile materials, this division was the recip-
ient of several important additions of other animal and vegetable
products. The Bureau of Fisheries furnished a series of specimens
of the species of fresh-water pearl shells from the Mississippi Valley
which are used for the manufacture of buttons. It contains ex-
amples of the large shells, furnishing as many as 60 buttons each,
which were common 20 years or more ago, as well as of the very
young shells, from which only a single button can be cut, and which
are now being utilized. The Hawkeye Pearl Button Co., of Musca-
tine, Iowa, presented a collection showing the different steps in the
manufacture of pearl buttons, accompanied by a series of finished
and carded buttons, and a model of the type of boat and drag used
in collecting the shells in the fresh-water streams. The manufacture
of pearl and vegetable ivory buttons is illustrated in a contribution
from Messrs. Rothschild Bros. & Co., of New York, which relates
principally to the utilization of marine forms furnishing mother-
of-pearl, and includes specimens of raw and polished shells be-
ionging to the genera Margaritifera, Trochus, Turbo, Haliotis,
and Unio, besides seeds of a species of ivory nut palm of the
genus Phytelephas. The making of buttons from vegetable ivory,
furnished by seeds of Phytelephas, is also brought out in a gift from
the Rochester Button Co., of Rochester, N. Y., which represents each
stage in the process and contains samples of the waste produced in
the sawing and turning of the raw material. The importation of
these seeds or nuts for button making is rapidly increasing, the
amount brought into this country in 1913 having reached 29,000,000
pounds.

A Mexican bridle of the old-fashioned type, made of finely cut
and plaited rawhide and of perfect workmanship, was the only speci-
men of leather received. It was obtained, through exchange, from
Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton, of Greenwich, Conn. A set of 18 Dutch
standard sugar samples, a standard which, after being in use for 40
years in grading raw sugars for revenue purposes, was abolished

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 133

by the tariff act of 1918, was deposited by the Division of Cus-
toms of the Treasury Department. For samples of gums and resins
collected in the market of Aden, British Arabia, by American Consul
Walter H. Schulz, the Museum is indebted to the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce of the Department of Commerce. These
substances constitute an important item in the trade of Aden, the
principal varieties being gum arabic, myrrh, gum benjamin or ben-
zoin, and frankincense or olibanum; and the possession of such au-
thentic commercial specimens will serve a useful purpose for the
identification of unnamed material. A number of specimens of tan
barks collected in the Philippine Islands, together with a record of
their chemical analysis, which shows a high percentage of tannin,
were transferred from the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture.

A collection of Panama woods, accompanied by botanical speci-
mens from the same trees, obtained by purchase, supplements a
larger one previously made by Mr. H. Pittier while a member of
the Smithsonian Biological Survey of the Panama Canal Zone.
These samples, which have been determined by Mr. Pittier and
their structure studied by the Bureau of Forestry, will form the
basis of a reference collection for the identification of future wood
samples from this region. Two beautifully mottled boards of the
finest grade of cypress lumber, 30 inches wide, 16 feet long, and
carefully kiln dried, were obtained by purchase from the Lyon
Cypress Lumber Co., of Garyville, La. <A large section of the
trunk of an empress tree, Paulownia tomentosa, growing in the
Smithsonian grounds, which was destroyed by the severe storm of
July 30, 1913, was received from the Office of Public Buildings and
Grounds. It is a unique specimen of this beautiful wood, illustrat-
ing the great size attained by this Japanese tree.

As the time of the curator and preparators was practically all
occupied in connection with the solicitation, cataloguing and in-
stallation of new material and the improvement of the exhibition
series, but little progress was made in the arrangement of the study
series. All accessions were promptly catalogued, and most of the
specimens placed on exhibition were at once supplied with type-
written labels, to be replaced later with printed ones. The main
series of the principal textile fabrics—cotton, wool, silk, and flax—
have been installed in the south hall of the older building, and
represent a more or less permanent arrangement. The animal prod-
ucts have been temporarily placed in the southwest gallery, their
final disposition being delayed in order to complete certain por-
tions of the series. While the collections of vegetable products,
including examples of the various kinds of woods, were added to
considerably during the year, no attempt has been made to exhibit
them, owing to their incompleteness.

134 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

Some progress was made in the compilation of the textile glos-
sary, begun last year, new terms and definitions appearing in the
trade papers and technical journals being carefully recorded, but
until more time can be given to it it will be impossible to properly
advance this important piece of work.

Several visits were made by the curator to textile centers of the
country for the purpose of studying certain industries at first hand
and of soliciting material for the division. The history of several
important textile machines, including the Slater cotton spinning-
frame, the first wool card built in the United States, the Carpenter
yarn reel, and processes formerly used in the manufacture of flags
for Army purposes were investigated at Pawtucket, R. I, and Lowell
and North Andover, Mass. The other important trips were as follows:
To Paterson, New York City, and Philadelphia, with reference to
the dyeing and finishing of silks and ribbons and the manufacture of
laces, artificial silk, and fur hats. To Manchester, N. H., and several
places in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, to study the manufacture
of ginghams, piece-dyed cottons, worsted and woolen goods, and to
investigate certain questions concerning the early history of the
textile industry in this country. 'To Chicago, Tl., for the examina-
tion of the exhibits and the methods of classifying, installing, and
labeling specimens of textiles and of other industrial arts in the Field
Museum, the Art Institute, and the museums of the Chicago Academy
of Sciences and the Chicago Historical Society. The factories of the
Earnshaw Knitting Co. and the Zeidman Haircloth Co. were also
visited. To the silk-throwing mill of the Klots Throwing Co., at
Fredericksburg, Va., where a careful study was made of the steps in
the methods there employed. All of these trips resulted very ad-
vantageously for the Museum, since they permitted the curator to
investigate closely the many processes of textile manufacture over a
wide field and to indicate definitely the materials best suited to rep-
resent these processes in a museum exhibit. Received everywhere in
a cordial spirit, he has been able to enlist the interest of many manu-
facturers in the collections now in course of assembling. Practically
all of the important accessions of the year were secured through these
means, and other acquisitions, which require more time for their
preparation, are soon to be expected.

It should be possible, with the growth of its collections, for this
division to render substantial aid to the interests of the arts and
crafts outside of Washington, but at present it has not the necessary
duplicate material for such cooperation. One set of specimens, how-
ever, was supplied to the Children’s Museum of Boston to form the
beginning of an industrial room in that institution. It consisted of
cotton bolls, raw cotton, silk cocoons, raw silk, unwashed, washed,
and combed wool. The curator lectured on textile processes before

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 135

the Deutsch-Amerikanischer Techniker Verein of Washington in the
Museum building on January 18, 1914, a report of which was pub-
lished in the Technologist for March, 1914. The Museum is greatly
indebted to Mr. Charles E. Lotte, treasurer of the National Silk
Dyeing Co. and a member of the board of managers of the Silk Asso-
ciation of America, for his cooperation in securing the interest of
manufacturers and importers in the textile exhibits, which has re-
sulted in materially enriching the collections of silk fabrics.

Mineral technology.—Although not actively organized until June,
1913, a considerable amount of material relating to the objects of
this division had previously been assembled, mainly through the
generosity of exhibitors at the St. Louis exposition of 1904. The
total number of accessions reported for the past year, including some
of the St. Louis donations which had not previously been recorded,
was 26. The more important of these were as follows:

An industrial exhibit illustrating processes in the art of glass
making, designed by Mr. George A. Macbeth, president of the Mac-
beth-Evans Glass Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa., and received as a gift from
the company. This accession includes models of the two standard
types of furnace in current use, namely, the tank-furnace and the
pot-furnace, of about one-sixteenth actual size, reproducing the
originals in all particulars and so constructed as to reveal working
details throughout. They furnish, therefore, an exceedingly valu-
able demonstration for the technical as well as untechnical visitor.
Mr. Macbeth has given freely of his personal attention to the plan-
ning of these and other features of the series, and only minor gaps
remain to be filled before its permanent installation. It will consti-
tute a full display of the processes involved in glass manufacture,
unique in its technical accuracy and in its completeness of repre-
sentation as a glass exhibit the world over.

A complete working model of a bituminous colliery, presented
by the Consolidation Coal Co., of Fairmont, W. Va. This is an
exact replica of the company’s mine at Fairmont, on a scale of one-
twelfth natural size, and occupies a floor space of 30 by 40 feet in
the southwest court of the older Museum building. The model
shows, in addition to a portion of the mine workings, the haulage
system, tipple, washery, coke plant and other surface improvements,
and also the adjoining portion of the miners’ village. Not only
does it exemplify in actual working details the various operations
connected with the mine itself, but from its setting the visitor’s
imagination may visualize accurately the social conditions typical
of a coal-mining community.

A reproduction, one forty-eighth natural size, of the First Pool
No. 2 mine of the Pittsburgh Coal Co., at Willock near Pittsburgh,
Pa., contributed by the company. While this model copies faithfully

136 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914,

the surface conditions at the mine, its most significant feature is the
clear comprehension it imparts of the system of coal mining in com-
mon vogue in this country, known as the room and pillar system. In
this respect it is an excellent companion piece to the one previously
mentioned, whose dominating exhibition feature is its depiction of
surface operations. The model covers a floor space of 8 by 12 feet.

A relief panel illustrating processes involved in the manufacture
of illuminating gas, tar, ammonia, and other coal products in what
is known as the by-products coke industry, and designed to set forth
these complicated processes in the most readily comprehensible man-
ner. For a most admirable solution of this problem the Museum is
indebted to Mr. C. G. Atwater, of the American Coal Products Co.,
of New York, and Mr. C. H. Ramsburg, of the H. Koppers Co., of
Chicago, in accordance with whose plans the exhibit was constructed
in the division workshop. .

Seven pictorial enlargements, 34 by 6 feet in size, showing typical
underground operations incidental to coal mining, the gift of the
Jeffry Manufacturing Co., of Columbus, Ohio, are remarkable ex-
amples of photographic art, in view of the extreme difficulty of the
subject, and add greatly to the educational value of the coal series
now being developed.

A series of native gypsum and gypsum products, presented by the
United States Gypsum Co., of Chicago, Il., which has given gen-
erous cooperation in connection with the entire subject, forms part
of an industrial exhibit designed to cover the occurrence, mining,
treatment, and industrial adaptability of this mineral.

A collection illustrating crude mica and its industrial products,
constituting part of an exhibit in which the occurrence, technology,
and uses of mica will be summarized, contributed by the Westing-
house Electric Manufacturing Co., of East Pittsburgh. A most
remarkable 45-pound specimen of pure mica in its natural condition
was the gift of the Ridgeway Mica Co.

The materials pertaining to mineral technology, which had been
accumulating previous to the organization of the division, were
found packed in more or less inaccurately or incompletely labeled
boxes, stored in various places. During last year all of these boxes
except such as contained only ornamental terra cotta were opened
and suitable disposition made of their contents. The greater por-
tion of the specimens proved to be wholly unsuitable for use along
the accepted lines of development of the division, and were either
returned to the donors or destroyed. Of the remainder, a part was
listed and filed away, to be drawn upon as required, and the balance
at once prepared for exhibition, which demanded extensive repairs
and cleaning, and in some cases even rebuilding. The principal
exhibits so attended to were the large working model of the Con-
solidation Coal Co.’s colliery at Fairmont, W. Va.; the colliery

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914, 137

model representing the Pittsburgh Coal Co.’s operations at Willock,
near Pittsburgh; a model of the Takashima coal field, Japan; a
model of the Western Coal & Mining Co.’s colliery at. Jenny Lind,
Ark.; a model of the Fayal iron mine at Eveleth, Minn.; and a blast
furnace model.

The value of the systematic series covering the coal and coal-
products industries was further enhanced by the addition of four
models designed and constructed within the division, representing,
respectively, a Bennington coke pile, a non-by-product rectangular
coke oven, a gas bench, and a complete by-products plant according
to Koppers’ system. A rather unique supplement to the coal series
proper, also devised and constructed by the division, represents the
coal resources of the world, as apportioned by kind and amount
among the various countries and individual States of the Union.
The foregoing were all permanently installed during the year, with
descriptive labels explaining the nature of conditions and opera-
tions represented. All accessions of the year from outside sources
were also placed on exhibition in either permanent or temporary
form.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS.

There was distributed to schools and colleges for educational pur-
poses an aggregate of 14,564 duplicate specimens, besides about 400
pounds of rock and mineral fragments suitable for blowpipe in-
struction, all properly identified and labeled. The majority of the
material was put up in regular series, the sendings of which were
as follows: Mollusks, 22 sets of 174 specimens eacu; fossil inverte-
brates, 33 sets of 40 to 54 specimens each; minerals and ores, 26 sets
of 84 to 86 specimens each; rocks, minerals, and ores, 7 sets of 74
specimens each; and rocks, 2 sets of 70 specimens each. The special
educational distributions comprised 58 lots with an aggregate of
6,279 specimens, of which over 90 per cent consisted of marine in-
vertebrates, fossils, and geological specimens, though nearly all the
subjects of the scientific divisions were represented.

In exchange transactions a total of 15,224 specimens were used,
of which 11,967 were botanical, over 1,500 geological and paleon-
tological, the remainder belonging to the several divisions of zoology
and anthropology.

As to the specimens sent out for study only approximate figures
can be given, as in many cases they were in unassorted lots awaiting
determination, this being especially so with the recent marine in-
vertebrates and the fossil invertebrates. The figures as recorded
are 10,256 for the department of biology and 5,425 for the depart-
ment of geology, a total of 15,681 specimens, besides 107 lots of fos-
sils, and 746 lots of marine invertebrates. These specimens were dis-

138 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

tributed among a large number of scientific experts, both at home
and abroad, for investigation and determination mainly for the
direct benefit of the Museum, but partly in the interest of other
institutions. All were to be returned, and seme had been received
before the close of the year.

Exchange relations were carried on during the year with the fol-
lowing establishments abroad: The British Museum of Natural His-
tory, London, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Geological
Museum, Cambridge, and Alexandra Park, Manchester, England;

NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART.

The most important acquisition of the year consisted in the formal
transfer to the Smithsonian Institution by Mr. Charles L. Freer, of
Detroit, Mich., on February 24, 1914, of 198 objects as additions
to his munificent gift to the Nation, comprising all of the material
which he had assembled since the last previous transfer on November
6, 1912. This contribution may be summarized as follows:

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 139

Of American works of art there were 20, namely, 1 oil painting
and 3 pastels by Dwight W. Tryon, 2 oil paintings by Thomas W.
Dewing, 1 oil painting by Abbott H. Thayer, 2 water colors by Wins-
low Homer, 2 oil paintings by John S. Sargent, 1 oil painting by
John H. Twachtman, and 4 oil paintings, 1 water color, and 1 etch-
ing by James McNeill Whistler, besides the Coast Survey copper
plate made famous by Whistler and 1 impression from the same.
The oriental part of the collection aggregated 178 examples, and
consisted of 19 paintings, of which 1 large screen, 1 panel, 4 kake-
mono and 6 makimono were Chinese and 7 makimono were Japa-
nese; 23 pieces of pottery, of which 14 were Chinese, 5 Japanese, 3
Korean, and 1 Rakka; 58 bronzes, of which 56 were Chinese and 1
each Japanese and Babylonian; 65 objects sculptured in various
kinds of stone, all Chinese; 8 figures in cast iron and 1 in pewter, of
Chinese origin; 1 piece of Chinese and 1 of Persian glass; 1 Chinese
rug, and 1 piece of Chinese velvet.

The original donation by Mr. Freer contained approximately
2,326 objects. In the deed of gift of May 5, 1906, by which convey-
ance was made to the Institution, it was provided that the collection
should remain in the possession of the donor during his life and that
he might make such appropriate additions to it as he should select.
Additions have, in fact, been made continuously and on a lavish scale,
and from time to time these have been formally transferred by sup-
plemental deeds of gift, which now number 5 in all. They record
in the aggregate a slightly larger number of objects than composed
the first contribution and this remarkable collection has therefore
been more than doubled during the intervening eight years.

Following is a brief summary of the original gift: The American
examples numbered 859, and comprised 95 oil paintings by James
McNeill Whistler, Dwight W. Tryon, Thomas W. Dewing, and Ab-
bott H. Thayer; 42 water colors by Whistler, Tryon, and Thayer;
43 pastels by Whistler, Tryon, and Dewing; 1 silver point by Dew-
ing; and 100 drawings and sketches, 8 wood engravings, 388 etchings
and dry points, 164 lithographs, 22 original copper plates, and the
decorations of The Peacock Room, by Whistler. Of oriental paint-
ings there were 489, namely, 121 Japanese screens, 50 Japanese and 3
Chinese panels, 251 Japanese and 36 Chinese kakemono, 9 Japanese
and 2 Chinese makimono, 4 albums of Japanese paintings and
sketches, and 13 Tibetan paintings. Oriental pottery was represented
by 953 pieces, of which 681 were Japanese, 92 Chinese, 84 Korean,
92 central Asian, 1 each Egyptian and Moorish, and 2 Grecian. The
remainder of the collection consisted of 5 Chinese bronzes, 19 lac-
quered objects, and 1 decorated Japanese box.

The collection as constituted to-day contains approximately 983
examples of American art and 3,718 examples of oriental art, or a
total of 4,701 pieces.

It is interesting to note in this connection that during the past year
Mr. Freer, with the cooperation of a distinguished architect of New
York, has devoted much time to the preparation of tentative plans
for the building to house this collection, the cost of erecting which
has been provided for by Mr. Freer. This building will occupy a
position near the other buildings under the Institution, and will be
constructed of marble in a style indicative of its object and con-
tributing an architectural feature worthy to be classed among the
best in Washington. It is the present purpose to have a single story
above a high basement, the former to be used for exhibition purposes,
the latter to furnish student rooms, an auditorium, and facilities for
whatever other requirements the administration of this large, varied,
and valuable donation may call for.

Mr. William T. Evans, of New York, continued his benefactions to
the Gallery, and by the gift of three oil paintings increased the col-
lection which bears his name to 147 examples of the work of 105 con-
temporary American artists. In these donations Miss Clara Taggart
MacChesney is represented by “A Good Story,’ which obtained a
bronze medal at the Pan-American Exposition, a silver medal at the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and the second Hallgarten prize of
the National Academy of Design in 1901; Mr. Guy C. Wiggins, whose
“ Columbus Circle, Winter,” was previously presented to the Gallery,
by a painting of much merit, entitled “ Gloucester Harbor” ; and Mr.
Addison T. Millar, recently deceased, by a canvas entitled “The
Waterfall.”

142 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

There were also 2 other donations aggregating 6 paintings, 5 in
oil and 1 in pastel. One of these, by Du Bois Fenelon Hasbrouck, en-
titled “Autumn Landscape,” was received as a gift from Mr. Frederic
Fairchild Sherman, of New York, in memory of his wife, Eloise Lee
Sherman. The remainder were presented by Mrs. Walter Shirlaw,
and are as follows: “ Portrait sketch of Walter Shirlaw at the age of
35,” by Frank Duveneck, and 4 paintings by Walter Shirlaw, namely,
“Bell Foundry, Germany” (study for “Toning of the Bell”);
“ Study Head—Madam Capri” (sketch made at one sitting) ; “ The
Inn, Germany ” ; and “ Easter Morning,” a decorative panel in pastel.

The loans to the Gallery were comprised in 12 accessions and con-
sisted of 109 paintings and 3 pieces of sculpture. Of the paintings 81
were received for 2 special exhibitions, the others being regularly in-
stalled with the general collection. Mr. William L. Slater, to whom
were returned in the autumn of 1913 the 25 paintings enumerated in
the last report, at the beginning of June, 1914, again lent the follow- |
ing 19 examples, namely : Rembrandt, “ The Rabbi” ; Ruysdael, “ The
Dunes near Haarlem”; Corot, “ Nymphs and Fauns” ; Troyon,
“Horses at Watering Trough”; Millet, “Seamstresses sewing on
Shroud” and “The Drinking Place” ; Diaz, “ Forest of Fontaine-
bleau” and “The Island of Cupids”; Rousseau, “Sunset in a
Wood” ; Daubigny, “ Springtime” ; Mettling, “ Portrait of a Boy” ;
Raffaelli, “ Winter Landscape” ; Dupré, “Three Oaks” and “The
Landing” ; Madame Lebrun, “ Portrait of a Lady” ; Gaugengigl,
“The Quartet” ; Delacroix, “ Return of Columbus to Court of Ferdi-
nand”; Hobbema, “The Mill”; and Wyant, “ Landscape.” This
most important series was installed in the same inclosure it had pre-
viously occupied, the northwest room of the Gallery, opposite that
containing the valuable collection of Mr. Ralph Cross Johnson.

The other loans were as follows: From Mrs. Dora B. Amateis, of
Falls Church, Va., portrait bust of the artist’s son, in marble, by
Louis Amateis. From Col. John Biddle, United States Army, por-
trait in oil of Maj. John Biddle, United States Army, by Thomas
Sully. From Miss Susan D. Biddle, of Detroit, Mich., portrait of
Eliza Bradish Biddle, wife of Maj. Biddle, by Thomas Sully. From
Dr. Nathan Boyd, of Washington, copy of Titian’s portrait of his
daughter, and portrait of Beatrice Cenci, by G. Mazzolini. From
Mr. H. K. Bush-Brown, of Washington, plaster cast of the bronze
bust of Lincoln, by Mr. Bush-Brown, at the National Cemetery,
Gettysburg. From the United States Capitol, Washington, through
’ Mr. Elliott Woods, superintendent, the bronze doors for the west en-
trance to the Capitol, designed and sculptured by Louis Amateis.
From Mr. Benson B. Moore, of Washington, three oil paintings:
“Might is Right,” by Z. Noterman; an interior, by L. Fissette, and
another interior attributed to Adrian von Ostade. From Mrs. Julian

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 143

James, of Washington, an oil painting, “ View up the Hudson,” by
Robert Weir. From Mr. William D. Wheeler, of Washington, a
portrait in oil of the artist’s daughter, Mrs. John H. Wheeler, and
her sons, by Thomas Sully.

The Gallery was fortunate in being able to arrange for two im-
portant loan exhibitions, which were successfully carried out and
proved exceedingly attractive. They were held in the large central
room of the Gallery inclosure in the new Museum building, which
they fully occupied, and followed one another closely, only two days
intervening. Each was inaugurated by a special evening view, to
which invitation was by card, and printed catalogues were issued for
both. The first, extending from March 21 to April 21, 1914, was
given in the name of the National Association of Portrait Painters,
an organization formed for the advancement of art in the United
States, the holding of exhibitions, and the ultimate establishment of
permanent galleries for the exposition of its own and allied branches
of art. The second, which continued from April 23 to June 15, con-
sisted of the works of a single person, the well-known marine painter,
Mr. William F. Halsall, of Boston and Provincetown, Mass.

The exhibition by the National Association of Portrait Painters
comprised 25 portraits in oil by members of the Association, con-
stituting the third annual exhibition of the Association in New York,
and also shown at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, Pa. The
artists and the paintings by which they were represented were as
follows:

John W. Alexander. Portrait of Alexander C. Humphreys, LL. D.,
president, Stevens Institute of Technology.

Cecilia Beaux. Portrait of Mrs. William McL. Ritter.

Frank W. Benson. Portrait.

Adolphe Borie. Portrait of Mr. Eckley Brinton Coxe, jr.

The exhibition of marine paintings by Mr. William F. Halsall,
of Boston, consisted of 56 pieces, the most conspicuous and important
being a large canvas, about 10 feet high by 20 feet long, entitled
“Our Glory—Battleship Oregon,” which represents this famous
man-of-war in pursuit of the Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon dur-
ing the naval engagement off Santiago de Cuba, in 1898, and for
the purchase of which for the Government a bill is now pending
before Congress. At the close of the exhibition, on June 15, three of
the paintings were retained on more extended loan. One of these
was the picture of the Oregon, the others being “'The Ocean Rover ”
and “Like a Sheeted Ghost.” Following is a complete list of the
paintings shown:

Two paintings, both from the Evans collection, were, at the re-
quest of the artists, lent for exhibition. One was the painting by
William Sergeant Kendall, entitled “An Interlude,” which was shown
at a special exhibition of works by Mr. Kendall in November, 1918,
at Yale University, where this artist had recently been appointed
director of the School of Fine Arts. The other was the canvas by
Mr. John W. Beatty, entitled “ Plymouth Hills,” which was sent to
the Anglo-American Exposition in London, May to October, 1914,
to celebrate the Century of Peace and Progress of the English Speak-
ing People.

The advisory committee on the National Gallery of Art, which is
wholly honorary in its relations to the Museum, its members serving
without compensation, reported on a number of tenders of gifts,
some of which were found to be acceptable and others not. A few
of the paintings in the collection were copied by artist students, and
photographs of quite a number were furnished to writers for repro-
duction in papers and books on art. All paintings permanently ac-
quired were photographed and glazed, and pedestals were provided
for the statuary received.

The entire loan collection of Dr. George Reuling, of Baltimore,
consisting mainly of early American paintings, was returned to
the owner, and a number of other loans were also reclaimed.

ART TEXTILES.

Of eight accessions received for this collection, four were gifts and
four loans, all but one coming from residents of Washington. The
gifts comprised a piece of rare point de France et Personages from
Miss Emily Tuckerman, a piece of Mechlin lace of the nineteenth
century from the late Mrs. Elizabeth C. Hobson, through Mrs.
Richard G. Lay, a cape of Mechlin lace from Mrs. Arnold Hague,
and two pieces of Spanish macramé lace called “ Gothic collars”
from Mrs. Richard G. Lay.

The loans were as follows: Eight pieces of lace, consisting of Rus-
sian pillow lace, silk maltese bobbin lace, French blonde de Caen,
Spanish blonde, Valenciennes, and an English thread lace collar,
besides two hand-wrought undersleeves from the Misses Long; an
antique Persian silk prayer rug, a carved ivory plaque, a silver
plaque, and a carved ivory crosier from Mrs. Christian D. Hem-

mick; and a square of Gobelin tapestry of the Savonnerie period
from Mrs. A. M. Van Dyke, of Lawtey, Fla.

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 147

Owing to the illness of Mrs. James W. Pinchot, under whom the
direction of this collection continues, not much work was put upon
it during last year, but it remains in excellent condition and is the
subject of much attention from visitors. It is hoped that there will
be an early increase in permanent accessions and that the material
may soon be arranged on a more systematic basis. As it is, the col-
lection is one of the most important displayed in any of the museums
of this country.

MISCELLANEOUS.
VISITORS.

The total attendance of visitors at the new building aggregated
267,728 for week days and 61,653 for Sundays, the daily average for
the former having, therefore, been 855, and for the latter 1,185. The
total number who visited the older Museum building was 146,533, a
daily average of 468, and the Smithsonian building, 102,645, a daily
average of 328. There has been a steady increase in the attendance
at the new building since it was first opened to the public, and a
certain falling off at the other two buildings, owing to the dismant-
ling of many of the exhibition halls by the withdrawal of the natural
history exhibits. This condition is only temporary, however, and
will soon be remedied by the rapid progress which is being made in
the installation of the art industrial collections.

The following tables show, respectively, the attendance of visitors
during each month of the past year and for each year since 1881,
when the older Museum building was first opened to the public:

BEQUESTS.

Although the Museum has received many and some exceedingly
valuable additions to its collections by bequest, 1t is only recently
that financial assistance has been rendered it in this way. On the
death of Dr. Isaac Lea, publisher and eminent naturalist of Phila-
delphia, in 1886, the Museum found itself in possession of his unriv-
aled collection of fresh-water mollusks of the family Unionide. His
daughter, Miss Frances Lea, retained a deep interest in this collec-
tion, becoming, in fact, its patroness, and by the frequent gift of
both specimens and of money for making purchases, she aided most
materially in its enrichment. It remains to-day by far the most
important and comprehensive collection of its kind in the world.
Married in 1890, the daughter lived but four years longer, and on
her demise she left to the Museum the fine series of gems and precious
stones which her father had also assembled. Her trust in both col-
lections was then assumed and faithfully continued by her husband,
the Rev. Dr. Leander Trowbridge Chamberlain, who was made an
honorary custodian in the Museum in 1897 and an honorary asso-
ciate in 1905. The report of last year contains a brief account of
Dr. Chamberlain’s relations to the Museum and the announcement of
his death at Pasadena, Cal., on May 9, 1913. In his will, offered for
probate in New York City on July 23, 1913, generous provision is
made for perpetuating the assistance so long rendered in person, a

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 149

benefaction of unusual importance to the Museum. At the close of
the year the will was still in course of settlement, but its final execu-
tion is not expected to be much longer delayed. Its terms with ref-
erence to the Museum are as follows:

“Seventh: I give and bequeath to the Smithsonian Institution in
the City of Washington and District of Columbia, the sum of twenty-
five thousand dollars ($25,000), in trust, the same to constitute a
permanent fund which shall be known as the ‘ Frances Lea Chamber-
lain Fund,’ the income of said fund to be used under the direction of
the Secretary of the Board of Regents of said Institution, for pro-
moting the increase, and the scientific value and usefulness, of the
collection of gems and gem material, known as the ‘Isaac Lea Col-
lection’ in the department of minerals in the United States National
Museum, the said collection having been chiefly collected and given
by me in honor of Dr. Isaac Lea and his only daughter, Frances Lea
Chamberlain.

“Kighth: I give and bequeath to the Smithsonian Institution in
the City of Washington and District of Columbia, the further sum of
ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the same to constitute a permanent
fund which shall be known as the ‘ Frances Lea Chamberlain Fund,’
the income of said fund to be used, under the direction of the Secre-
tary of the Board of Regents of said Institution, for promoting the
scientific value and usefulness of the collection of mollusks, known
as the ‘Isaac Lea Collection,’ in the department of mollusks in the
said Smithsonian Institution.” °

Another testament, executed during the year, in which the Museum
is made a beneficiary, is also of special interest in that it was made by
Miss Lucy Hunter Baird, daughter of Prof. Spencer Fullerton Baird,
the first assistant secretary in charge of the National Museum and
the second secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. The death of
Miss Baird occurred in Philadelphia, where she had long resided,
on June 19, 1918. The articles in her will relating to the Museum
were as follows:

“Fourth: * * * to the National Museum in the City of Wash-
ington, D. C., all articles deposited by my father, Spencer F. Baird,
my mother, Mary H. C. Baird, or myself, in its keeping or that of
the Smithsonian Institution with the exception of the specific be-
quests to the Smithsonian Institution contained in this Will. If
there be any China of which I have made no other disposition, of any
value to the Museum, I desire that it shall be placed therein.

“To the Smithsonian Institution, the copies of my father’s own
books containing his notes in his own handwriting, also the books by
Audubon or any other works on natural history, annotated in my
father’s writing, to be kept forever in a case together.

150 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

“To the National Museum or to the Smithsonian Institution as my
Executor shall deem best any pictures or books not otherwise dis-
posed of, which they may desire.”

By further terms of the will the Smithsonian Institution is made
the residuary legatee in a certain trust estate, which, when released,
is to constitute a trust fund known as “‘The Spencer Fullerton
Baird Fund,’ the interest from which shall be devoted under the
direction of the Smithsonian Institution to the expenses, in whole or
in part, of scientific and biological research or for the purchase of
specimens of natural objects or archeological specimens.” The Mu-
seum may expect to benefit from expenditures from this fund. Under
the article above quoted the Museum received early in the year from
the executor of the estate of Miss Baird several hundred objects, com-
prising books, engravings and paintings, pottery, glassware, bronzes,
photographs, historical objects, and personal relics of Prof. Baird,
the last including a gold and a silver medal which had been presented
to him in recognition of his important work in fish culture.

PUBLICATIONS.

The number of volumes issued during the year was 14, and of sep-
arate papers, 58. The former consisted of the annual reports of the
Museum for 1912 and 1913; volumes 44, 45, and 46 of the Proceed-
ings; and the following Bulletins, namely: No. 50, Part VI, “The
Birds of North and Middle America,” by Robert Ridgway, containing
descriptions of the woodpeckers, barbets, toucans, puff birds, jaca-
mars, kingfishers, todies, motmots, goatsuckers, potocs, barn owls,
and eared owls; No. 71, “A monograph of the Foraminifera of the
North Pacific Ocean, Part IIT, Lagenidex,” and “Part IV, Chilo-

Bulletin No. 67, entitled “ Directions for collecting and preserving
insects,” by Nathan Banks, was reprinted in a limited edition to meet
the continuous demand for this popular pamphlet of instructions.

Of the 58 papers issued separately for prompt distribution to spe-
cialists, 5 were from volume 45, 35 from volume 46, and 9 from

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 151

volume 47 of the Proceedings, the other 9 constituting parts of the
Contributions from the National Herbarium.

Approximately 77,800 copies of the above volumes and separates
were distributed to the addresses on the regular mailing list, in addi-
tion to which about 15,400 publications of last year and previous
years were sent out in response to special applications.

Besides the foregoing, many reports on Museum material were
published by other bureaus of the Government and by private insti-
tutions, all of which are cited in the bibliography. Those printed in
the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections to insure prompt issue
numbered 31, as follows: “ New races of antelopes from British East
Africa,” “ New antelopes and carnivores from British East Africa,”
“The white rhinoceros,” “ New races of ungulates and primates from
equatorial Africa,” “ New races of carnivores and baboons from equa-
torial Africa and Abyssinia,” “ Four new subspecies of large mam-

of Montana, with note on Hypacrosaurus,” by Charles W. Gilmore;
and “ Explorations and field-work of the Smithsonian Institution in
1912,” being a summary of expeditions participated in during the
year by the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus and resulting,
for the most part, in the acquisition of material for the Museum.

In addition to the publications, the editorial office has charge of all
miscellaneous printing and binding, which includes a large variety of
work.

LIBRARY.

The Museum library received 1,917 volumes, 1,723 pamphlets, and
132 parts of volumes during last year, and now contains 43,609 vol-
umes and 73,765 pamphlets and other unbound papers. The central
library is in the new building, where are kept the general works of
reference and the publications relating to anthropology, zoology, and
geology. The former library quarters in the older building are
utilized for the works relating to the arts and industries, history, and
botany, besides which each Museum division and each principal ad-
ministrative office is allowed to retain in its immediate possession the
books especially and solely pertaining to the subject of its affairs.
The last mentioned, which at present number 30, are called sectional
libraries. The central library was quite thoroughly organized and
arranged before the close of the previous year, and during last year
good progress in the same direction was made with the collection in
the older building. The card cataloguing has been kept well up to
date and of the scientific depository set of cards received from the
Library of Congress about one-half, or approximately 28,000, were
alphabetically filed.

For the use of the staff in the study of collections over 5,000 books
were borrowed during the year from other Government libraries,
mainly the Library of Congress.

A very large number of publications, the accumulation of many
years, the most of which had never been actually united with the
library, were critically examined and the greater proportion, consist-
ing of duplicates or of works not necessary to the Museum, were
rejected and disposed of.

New avenues of exchange insuring the acquisition of important
publications not otherwise obtainable by the Museum were estab-
lished. By bequest of Miss Lucy H. Baird, the library received
about 750 volumes, many of them rare and costly, which had be-
longed to Prof. Spencer F. Baird, with others more recently added
to the collection by the testator. Among other contributors were
Dr. William H. Dall, Dr. O. P. Hay, Dr. C. W. Richmond, Dr. Edgar
A. Mearns, Mr. Alfred Klakring, and Dr. Harriet Richardson Searle.

} REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 153

The sectional library of the division of mollusks contains approxi-
mately 7,500 titles presented by its curator, Dr. Dall, beginning with
a large initial gift in 1892, which has been added to from year to
year. Constituting its principal feature, this collection is supple-
mented by many works from other sources, including the bequest
of Dr. Isaac Lea, which renders it one of the most complete con-
sultative libraries on the subject in the country. A revised cata-
logue completed during the year furnishes a ready index to its
contents.

The library is, unfortunately, confronted with a condition which
seriously menaces the preservation of a large proportion of its con-
tents, and it is important that this should be early remedied. Per-
haps two-thirds of the publications it receives are in paper covers,
a large share of these being parts of volumes. With the very lim-
ited funds available for the purpose, the amount of binding that
can be done in any year is scarcely appreciable, and as long as the
volumes remain unprotected, constant use causes their rapid de-
terioration and ultimate destruction, and most of these unbound
works are not replaceable.

MEETINGS AND CONGRESSES.

The auditorium and other rooms in the new building were fre-
quently used during the year for meetings and public gatherings hav-
ing objects akin to those of the Institution, and also by several
bureaus of the Government for official purposes.

The lecture courses of The Washington Society of the Fine Arts,
three in number, were held in the auditorium, as during the previous
year, between November 1 and April 15. They consisted of six lec-
tures on architecture and the allied arts, given on Wednesday eve-
nings; six lectures on modern masters in art, given on Tuesday
evenings; and five lectures on the development of opera, given on
Saturday evenings. The first two courses were illustrated with lan-
tern slides, while piano and vocal illustrations were employed in
connection with the last. For its regular meetings, which num-
bered 18, the Anthropological Society of Washington occupied the
large assembly hall, except on one occasion when the auditorium was
utilized. These meetings, which were held at 4.30 o’clock in the
afternoon, generally on the first and third Tuesday of’each month,
continued from October 28 to June 4. The Spanish American Athe-
neum was given the use of the auditorium on the evenings of Feb-
ruary 3 and 25 for its meetings and lectures. For the thirty-second
stated meeting of the American Ornithologists’ Union, which was in
session during the mornings and afternoons from April 6 to 8, the
auditorium and other accommodations were granted.

154 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

The National Academy of Sciences, in connection with its annual
meeting from April 21 to 23, held only its public sessions at the
Museum, which were devoted to the reading of papers during the
morning and afternoon of the 22d, and the inauguration of the
William Ellery Hale Lectures by Sir Ernest Rutherford, of the Uni-
versity of Manchester, England, who spoke on the afternoons of the
21st and 23d on “ The constitution of matter and the evolution of the
elements.”

On the evening of October 20, 1918, His Serene Highness the
Prince of Monaco delivered an address under the auspices of the
Washington Academy of Sciences and the Anthropological Society
of Washington, his subject being “ Researches in oceanography and
anthropology,” but he spoke mainly upon the former topic, in which
his own remarkable explorations and studies are so well and widely
known. The lecture was illustrated with lantern slides and motion
pictures, all relating to the work in connection with his own vessels,
and the latter were of a remarkable character, including vivid scenes
at sea, the depiction of which in this manner had never before been
attempted.

On December 10 Dr. AleS Hrdlitka, of the Museum staff, spoke
before the Medical Society of the District of Columbia on prehis-
toric pathology on the American continent, with demonstrations of
extensive recently acquired medical and surgical material from the
collections of the Museum. An illustrated lecture on the fauna of
the Pleistocene asphalt at Rancho La Brea, Cal., was delivered on
January 8 by Prof. John C. Merriam, of the University of California,
under the auspices of the Washington Academy of Sciences; and on
February 4 Dr. Josef Schumpeter, the Austrian exchange professor
for Columbia University, lectured under the auspices of the George
Washington University on “The Balkan situation.” One of the
semimonthly meetings of the Washington Society of Engineers, held
in the auditorium on February 5, was devoted to addresses on the
Navajo, Papago, Pueblo, and Menominee Indians by Dr. Samuel A.
Eliot, Mr. Edward E. Ayer, and Mr. William H. Ketcham, members
of the United States Board of Indian Commissioners, and by Dr.
Joseph K. Dixon, leader of the Rodman Wanamaker expedition,
motion pictures taken by this expedition being also shown. A lec-
ture entitled “ The musical uplift” was given by Mr. John C. Freund,
editor of Musical America, on February 6, under the District of

Dr. Ernst Elster, professor at the University of Marburg, Germany,
and exchange professor at Cornell University. The Washington
Society of the Archaeological Institute of America met on April 3
to listen to a lecture on “ Raphael,” illustrated with lantern slides,
by Prof. O. S. Tonks, of Vassar College. On the morning of April
17 a special program of American music was rendered under the
auspices of the Friday Morning Music Club, and in the evening of
the same day Sir William Willcocks, of Cairo, Egypt, lectured before
the Home Club of the Department of the Interior, on “ Reclamation
and drainage in Egypt.” The College Women’s Association of Wash-
ington was given facilities for a meeting on April 21.

There were only three congresses during the year which made any
use of the Museum’s accommodations, and in connection with each of
them but one meeting was held there. The Third International Con-
gress of Refrigeration met in Chicago, but the formal opening session
was held in the Museum auditorium on the morning of September 15,
1913, when an address of welcome to the delegates was delivered by
the Secretary of State, Hon. William Jennings Bryan. The fourth
annual meeting of the American Association for Study and Preven-
tion of Infant Mortality occurred in Washington from November 14
to 17, and the address of its president, Dr. L. Emmett Holt, of New
York, was given in the auditorium on the evening of the 14th, fol-
lowed by an informal reception to Dr. Holt in the exhibition halls on
the first floor. The Third International Congress on the Welfare of
the Child, under the auspices of the National Congress of Mothers
and Parent Teacher Associations, meeting in Washington from April
922 to 27, occupied the auditorium on the evening of the 25th for one
of its sessions.

On the evening of April 18, 1914, a reception to the Daughters of
the American Revolution was given by the Secretary of the Institu-
tion.

The Department of Agriculture held numerous meetings relating
to its work, using sometimes the auditorium but more often the
larger committee room, and occasionally also the foyer when there
were specimens to exhibit. A hearing on the question of establish-
ing Federal grades for commercial corn was given on October 29,
1913, and another relative to the enforcement of the food and drugs
act on November 5. The food, dairy, and drug officials of the Bureau
of Chemistry met on November 14 and 15; the annual conference of
State and district leaders in farm management demonstration and
club work was held, under the Office of Farm Management, from
December 15 to 18; and the Federal Horticultural Board conducted
a hearing on December 18 on the subject of potato quarantine. The
Bureau of Plant Industry held weekly afternoon lectures from De-
cember 17 to March 11, except during the holiday season, dealing

with various phases of agricultural research and demonstration work
by the Department. An apparatus devised by Dr. Wiener, of Vienna,
for the treatment of milk was demonstrated by him, under the
auspices of the Bureau of Animal Industry, on February 20; and a
conference between representatives of the naval stores industry and
the Bureau of Chemistry was held on March 5 and 6. A conference
between the department and the woolgrowers took place on June 2,
3, and 4, and was accompanied by an excellent exhibition of wool
specimens installed in the foyer. On the evening of June 26 the
exhibition halls in the first story were opened to afford an opportunity
for the officers and employees of the Department to unite in an
informal reception to Dr. B. T. Galloway, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, who had recently resigned from that position to take
up university work.

As associated with the objects of the Department of Agriculture
may be mentioned here a meeting of the American Pomological
Society in conjunction with the Eastern Fruit Growers Association,
the Northern Nut Growers Association, and the Society for Horti-
cultural Science, which was held during what was termed “ Fruit
Week,” or from November 17 to 22, 1918. Use was made of the
auditorium and committee rooms, and the entire foyer was occupied
for exhibition purposes, the display of fruit being exceptionally fine
and many prizes being awarded. This meeting, and especially the
exhibition, attracted many visitors, who were admitted to the part of
the building occupied both day and evening.

At the Twelfth International Congress of Geology, held at To-
ronto, Canada, August 7 to 10, 1913, the Institution and Museum were
represented by Secretary Charles D. Walcott and Dr. George P.
Merrill.

SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS.

The competitive designs for the Lincoln Memorial by Mr. Henry
Bacon and Mr. John Russell Pope, the Red Cross collection, the
relief map of the Gatun dam and locks, and model of the Pedro
Miguel locks, mentioned in the last report, remained on exhibition
in the foyer of the new building and communicating rooms through-
out the year.

The plans submitted in competition for the George Washington
memorial building, received on May 2, 1914, were, after inspection by
the jury of awards, installed on screens in one of the foyer rooms and
opened to public view on May 9. There were also two loan exhibi-
tions of paintings, which are fully described in connection with the
National Gallery of Art. One, consisting of 25 portraits by members
of the National Association of Portrait Painters, continued from

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 157

March 21 until April 21. The other, comprising 55 marine paintings
by Mr. William F. Halsall, was held from April 23 until June 15.

ORGANIZATION AND STAFF.

It has been found advisable to change the designations of the two
divisions of archeology, which has involved the shitting of responsi-
bility for the custody of certain classes of material but no modifica-
tion in the staff connected with them. The titles hitherto recognized
have been “ Prehistoric archeology ” and “ Historic archeology.” In
the division bearing the former name were included all antiquities,
however modern, from America, while in the other were placed only
so-called historic antiquities from other parts of the world. Under
the present arrangement, which, though partly put in operation
some time ago, was not officially recognized until last year, the divi-
sions are termed “American archeology ” and “Old World arche-
ology,” respectively, the classification assumed being, therefore,
broadly geographical and without reference to the age of the antiqui-
ties. This classification is, moreover, more philosophical than the
other, as the prehistoric collections of the two worlds do not touch
at any point, and the historic phase of Old World archeology con-
nects without break with the prehistoric. Mr. William H. Holmes,
head curator of the department of anthropology, will continue the
supervision of the division of American archeology, while Dr. I. M.
Casanowicz, assistant curator, will be in charge of the division of
Old World archeology. Mr. Neil M. Judd, aid in the division of
ethnology, was on leave without pay from January 1 to April 30,
1914, to enable him to engage in field work for the Panama-Califor-
nia Exposition. Mr. Joseph B. Leavy was appointed philatelist in
the division of history on November 5, 1913. Mr. Thomas W.
Sweeny, who had been a preparator in the division of ethnology for
many years and had taken an important part in the installation of
the exhibition collections in the new building, died on April 4, 1914.

On his appointment as director of the museum of the California
Academy of Sciences, Dr. Barton W. Evermann resigned the cura-
torship of the division of fishes, dating from March 31, 1914.
Mr. Alfred C. Weed, aid in the same division, was granted a year’s
furlough from July 15, 1913, and on January 2, 1914, Dr. John O.
Snyder, of Leland Stanford Junior. University, began upon the
revision of the extensive collection of fishes, as explained elsewhere.
Mr. H. K. Harring, of the Bureau of Standards, was designated
honorary custodian of the Rotatoria in the division of marine inver-
tebrates on May 1, 1914, and Dr. Nathan Banks resigned his custo-
dianship of the Arachnida in the division of insects on October 22,
1913. Mr. Copley Amory, jr., of Boston, Mass., was appointed hon-
orary collaborator in zoology for two years, beginning June 1, 1914.

158 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

Dr. J. N. Rose, associate curator of the division of plants, was
granted an indefinite furlough beginning February 19, 1914, to
enable him to continue his studies of the Cactaceae under the aus-
pices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and Mr. W. R.
Maxon was appointed in his place. Mr. Glen P. Van Eseltine was
made an aid in the division of plants from September 22, 1913.

Dr. Edgar T. Wherry was appointed assistant curator of min-
eralogy and petrology on October 25, 1913, in succession to Dr. J. E.
Pogue, and Dr. James C. Martin, assistant curator of systematic
and applied geology on November 12, in succession to Mr. Chester
G. Gilbert. For his long and material assistance in the paleontologi-
cal work of the Museum, Dr. E. O. Ulrich, of the Geological Survey,
was designated honorary associate in paleontology on June 9, 1914,
and Mr. Douglas B. Sterrett, also of the Survey, was made honorary
custodian of gems and precious stones, dating from February 18.
Mr. C. W. Mitman was appointed aid in the division of mineral
technology on May 4, 1914.

It is a painful duty to announce the death, near the close of the
year, of one of the most important figures in the history of the
Museum. Frederick William True was born at Middletown, Conn.,
July 8, 1858, and received his collegiate education at New York
University, from which he was graduated in 1878 as bachelor of
science. In 1881 and 1897 he was honored by his alma mater with
the degrees of master of science and doctor of laws, respectively.
Immediately after leaving college he entered the scientific service of
the Government, in which he continued during the remainder of
his life.

His first appointment, in 1878, was as expert special agent in the
fisheries branch of the Tenth Census, and in 1880 he served as custo-
dian of the collections of the United States Fish Commission at the
Berlin Fisheries Exhibition. The following year began his connec-
tion with the United States National Museum, in which his duties
have been both varied and exacting. From 1881 to 1883 he was
librarian, and during the first two of these years also acting curator
of the division of mammals, becoming full curator in 1883. With
the reorganization of the Museum in 1897, he was made head curator
of the department of biology, though retaining direct supervision of
the collection of mammals until 1909, when a curator was designated
to relieve him of this care.

For nearly 30 years Dr. True was also charged with strictly ad-
ministrative responsibilities, which greatly interfered with his scien-
tific work. In theearly part of the eighties he was designated curator-
in-charge to enable him to act for the Assistant Secretary during his
absence, the title being changed in 1894 to executive curator, with
added duties. Following Dr. Goode’s death in 1897 he served for

REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914. 159

a short period, in the absence of Dr. Langley, as Acting Secretary
of the Smithsonian Institution, and from then until 1901 the admin-
istration of the Museum fell mainly on Dr. True’s shoulders. In
another large field, that of international exposition work, Dr. True
also served with distinction, having directed the preparation of the
exhibits for, and represented the Institution and Museum at, Nash-
ville in 1897, Omaha in 1898, Buffalo in 1901, Charleston in 1902,
St. Louis in 1904, and Portland in 1905. On June 1, 1911, he was
called from the Museum to become the Assistant Secretary of the
Smithsonian Institution in charge of library and exchanges, which
position he was occupying at the time of his death, on June 25, 1914.
Dr. True was a member of the American Philosophical Society and
the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, a corresponding
member of the Zoological Society of London, and a fellow of the
American Association for the Advancement of Science, besides hold-
ing membership in various other societies.

Only those who came closely in contact with Dr. True can properly
measure the extent of his worth to the National Museum, which was
always uppermost in his mind. Of a retiring disposition, and with
no conception of the meaning of rest, he labored unceasingly, going
about but little, neglecting sports, though intensely fond of music,
and dividing his hours mainly between the Museum and his home
study. He was above all a profound student, though apt and thor-
ough in business matters. He did nothing perfunctorily, but went
to the bottom of every problem, and everything he undertook was
done more by his own hand than in any other case with which I
am acquainted. Dr. True was never more happy than when in the
library he organized and to which he continued to give attention,
but he knew as much of the making of books as he did of their
arrangement, and for many years he was the chief adviser in the
selection and printing of the Museum publications.

It had been Dr. True’s early desire to make a specialty of one of
the lower groups of animals, but finding his eyes not equal to the
constant use of the microscope, he turned to the other extreme, the
group containing the largest of all living animal forms. Although
the author of a number of miscellaneous papers on mammals, Dr.
True’s scientific reputation is mainly based on his studies of the
Cetacea, especially the whales, and also on the fact that through his
persistent activity he brought. together in the Museum one of the
largest and most important collections of whales in existence. Owing
to the universally large size of the members of this group, museums
generally are satisfied with a few examples, which furnish no basis
for comparison with the object of determining individual or geo-
graphic variations in these monsters of the sea. Through the efforts
of Dr. True very much has been done to overcome this disadvantage

160 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1914.

in Washington, and when he wrote his splendid monograph of the
beaked whales, which are among the rarest objects in our collection,
the National Museum was found to possess about one-fourth of all
the material available, and of the rare genus Berardius it had
nearly one-half. Besides visiting and personally inspecting the
specimens in many other museums, he assembled an immense series
of photographs of specimens and had at his command a vastly greater
amount of material than any cetologist before him. Visits to the
whale fishery in Newfoundland gave him exceptional opportunity
for the investigation of specimens freshly caught, and the studies
there made entered into the volume on the whalebone whales of the
western North Atlantic compared with those of European waters, in
which, contrary to previous deductions, the whalebone whales of
both sides of the Atlantic were proved to be identical. In later years
Dr. True began to give attention to the fossil whales of North
America, regarding which he had already made some noteworthy
discoveries. It is no exaggeration to say that Dr. True had become
the greatest living authority on whales, and in that respect took rank
beside Eschricht, Lilljjeborg, Van Beneden, and Flower. He died in
the midst of his studies, surrounded by rich material offering golden
opportunities for the future.

A report on the continuation
of the writer's explorations
along the coast and in the
Sierras of Peru, with a sum-
mary of the observations on
pathological conditions noted on
the ample and mostly pre-
historic skeletal material.
Among the more important re-
sults of the work are (1) a
definite tracing of the physical
type of the pre-Columbian in-
habitants of the coast and
mountains over an_ extensive
region, and (2) the defi-
nite determination that the
Chimu and the Nasca peoples

- were physically integral parts

of the predominantly brachy-
cephalic coast population. Both
the Nasea and the Chimu cul-
tures continued to historic
times. The pathology of pre-
Columbian times shows ab-
sence or great scarcity of some
of the most important modern
constitutional diseases, as well
as some peculiar local morbid
conditions. Numerous ruins
heretofore unknown to science
were found. During the ex-
ploration no trace whatever was
found of geologically ancient or
even old prehistoric human
remains.

After reviewing the history
and geology of this important
copper district, the paper gives
the results of a detailed metal-
lographie study of the ores.
The deposition is indicated to
have occurred during a distinct
mineralizing epoch marked by
solutions progressively changing
in composition and depositing a
series of sulphide minerals in
sequential and transitional
stages. The article closes with
a brief description of analogous
deposits and a selected biblio-
graphy.

A brief history of the discov-

the cave deposit is followed by
a geologic history with a short
discussion of its relative age,

Tt is concluded that this deposit
is older than the Conard Fissure
of Arkansas, being probably
about the equivalent of the Port

preliminary list of the fauna
represented is given, followed by
a description of two new species
of carnivores, supplemented by
brief notes on the lower teeth
of canids, with especial refer-

In this. paper a detailed de-

given. The faunas are com-
pared with previously described
Carboniferous faunas from east-

made with Russian and Amer-
ican sections. The conclusions
are that Upper Carboniferous is
undoubtedly represented and
constitutes the major portion of
the collection. Lower Carbon-
iferous and Permian may be
present, but the evidence is incon-
clusive. One fauna is given a
possible range from Upper

which has been chosen as the
type of the new genus. A new

species, only one of which is
described as new. This flora is
compared with known Jurassic
floras of various parts of the
world, and the conclusion is
reached that it is not only un-
doubtedly Jurassic in age—
which had previously been ques-
tioned—but belongs either in the
upper part of the Middle Juras-
sic or Brown Jura, or the ex-
treme lower part of the Upper
Jurassic or White Jura—that
is to say it is probably not
older than the Bathonian, and
certainly not younger than the
Oxfordian. Several pages are
devoted to a discussion of the
geographic range of Jurassic
floras in general, their means
and avenues of dispersal, and
the probable climatie conditions
that prevailed in Alaska at the
time this flora flourished there.

In this paper two widely sep-
arated Ordovician faunas are
described, one coming from the
Province of Shan-tung, the other
from eastern Ssi-ch’uan. The
first of these faunas consists of
poor material, the exact age of
which it is impossible to de-
termine. It is, however, re-
ferred to the Middle Ordo-
vician, or Mohawkian. The sec-
ond fauna is correlated without
much question with the Black
river of America on the one
hand, and the Vaginatus horizon
of Russia on the other. A de-
tailed description of fossils is
given, with figures, and com-
parisons are made with other
known Ordovician faunas of
eastern Asia. The material de-
seribed is the property of the

WHITE, Davip—Continued.

Resinous substances, in mi-
croscopical particles and as
lumps visible to the naked eye,
appear to be present in all, or
nearly all, coals of Mesozoic or
Tertiary age that have not been
subjected to such dynamic al-
teration as to cause the trans-
formation of the resins. This
transformation occurs when the
fixed carbon in the coals ap-
proaches 70 per cent pure coal
basis. The author describes
and illustrates resins and resi-
nous substances in Paleozoic
coals of a rather low bitumi-
nous rank, thus confirming the
interpretations suggested by
various paleobotanists that some
of the secretory cells or canals
noted in petrified fragments of
certain Paleozoic plant types
may have contained resins.

This paper contains descrip-
tions of the more characteristic
fossils of the Silurian forma-
tions mapped in the WBastport
folio of the U. S. Geological
Survey. Hight species are de-
seribed from the Edmunds
formation, and 12 from the
Pembroke. All of these are
illustrated and the types are in
the collections of the U. S&S.

Recurrent Tropidoleptus zones
of the Upper Devonian in New York,

Prof. Paper, U. S. Geol.
Surv., 79, 19138, pp.
1-103, pls. 1-6, figs.
1-18.

As the result of a study of
the Upper Devonian faunas of
the Watkins Glen and Catatonk
quadrangles, New York, Profes-
sor Williams made an interest-
ing discovery of the recurrence
in beds of Portage and Chemung
age of fossils characteristic of
the Middle Devonian. This led
to an intensive study of the
faunas, the results of which
are given in the present paper.
