OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR
APPROPRIATIONS
Provision for the maintenance of the United States National
Museum for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1933, made by appropria-
tions carried in the Executive and Independent Offices Act approved
June 30, 1932, was subsequently affected by the Economy Act
(legislative appropriation act for 1933). Funds available for Museum.

70 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
For the Museum, the appropriations for 1933 were $8,960 less than
those for 1932, the reduction under preservation of collections being
$2,750 and under maintenance and operation $6,210. Under preserva-
tion of collections, the reduction was taken from the amount available
for supplies, and under maintenance and operation from the funds
provided for repairs and replacements to buildings.
Under the Economy Act (pt. 2, legislative appropriation act for
1933), approved June 30, 1932, provision was made for the impound-
ing of certain items connected with the funds allotted for personnel.
Total amounts so impounded during the year under the National
Museum were $87 ,027.34, of which $74,031.60 came from the appropria-
tion preservation of collections and $12,995.74 from maintenance and
operation. Under preservation of collections, $56,252.54 came from
stipulated salary reductions and was thus made up by the personnel
included under this appropriation. The remaining funds impounded
under this heading totaled $17,769.05 and consisted of salaries of
vacant positions. The latter amount therefore was a direct reduc-
tion in appropriation, since it lowered the amount available for tem-
porary personnel and made impossible the utilization of savings on the
salary roll for the purchase of miscellaneous supplies, the allotment
for which has always been inadequate. Under maintenance and
operation, $8,230.74 was impounded as a result of salary reductions,
while $4,764 resulted from the impounding of salaries of vacant
positions. The latter amount was a direct reduction of the appropria-
tion, since it lowered the amount available for temporary services
and the purchase of supplies and equipment for the mechanics. The
impounding of salaries for vacant positions thus withdrew $22,534.06
from funds usually available.
The sum available for printing and binding was decreased $27,646
below the amount of the previous year. This reduction is a serious
one, since the printing of manuscripts is now greatly in arrears, and
additional funds for this purpose are much needed.
No additions to the personnel of the Museum were made during the
year, and a serious condition resulting from an undermanned force
continued. More help is urgently needed in the clerical service and
the guard and labor forces and also in the scientific personnel. The
Museum is greatly overcrowded, and under present conditions the
proper exhibition and care of the collections with the available
personnel are becoming increasingly difficult.
Arrangements looking toward additional space for the Museum
have been outlined in previous reports. Congress has authorized
appropriations of $6,500,000 for building wings at each end of the
Natural History Building, but this authorization like all others was
reduced 10 percent (legislative act for 1933, 212, sec. 320). Plans for
the additions have been made by the Allied Architects, Inc., of
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM igi
Washington, D.C., under an appropriation of $10,000 in the second
deficiency bill of 1931 and have been approved by the Fine Arts
Commission. The building of these wings has been submitted as the
principal construction project recommended for the Smithsonian
Institution under the National Industrial Recovery Act. If the
required funds are allotted, the first major step in the plan for ade-
quate museums and galleries under the Institution will be under way,
and work can begin on the construction without delay.
COLLECTIONS
Steady addition of excellent material to the collections continued
throughout the year, the new accessions including hundreds of speci-
mens of the most valuable kind. They came in 1,698 separate
accessions, with a total of 348,012 specimens, divided among the
various departments as follows: Anthropology, 4,877; biology, 295,782;
geology, 37,555; arts and industries, 4,261; history, 5,537. Statement
regarding some of the important additions will be found in the reports
of the departments that follow, and they are all included in the acces-
sion list. The total increase for the previous year was 157,870 speci-
mens of all kinds. |
For examination and report 1,575 lots of material were received,
including much of a botanical and geological nature, and many indi-
vidual specimens. Part was returned by request to the senders,
when it was not consumed during analysis, and part retained for the
collections under arrangement with the donors.
Gifts of specimens to schools and other educational organizations
numbered 5,558 specimens, including collections of mollusks and
fishes, sets to illustrate rock weathering and soils, and illustrative
groups of rocks, ores, and minerals. Exchanges of duplicate materials
with other institutions and individuals totaled 45,872 specimens, and
12 specimens were transferred to other departments. Loans to
workers outside of Washington numbered 24,552 individual specimens.

EXPLORATIONS AND FIELD WORK
Investigations in the field covered the usual wide range of interests
connected with man, the lower animals, and plants, both living and
extinct. The work was carried on mainly through grants from the
12 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
general income of the Smithsonian Institution, assisted by contribu-
tions from individuals, while certain projects were financed through
the income of special funds held as endowments by the Smithsonian.
Financial assistance in field expenses from the annual governmental
appropriations for the National Museum was small and concerned only
part of the various projects. Funds to assist in these matters, especi-
ally from private sources, are one of the definite needs of our
organization.
Archeological work in northern Alaska was continued during the
summer of 1932 by James A. Ford under the general direction of
Henry B. Collins, Jr. Mr. Ford arrived at Point Barrow late in
August 1931, when the ground was beginning to freeze. He found ice
conditions in the Arctic the worst in many years, and so remained at
Barrow through the winter in order to allow a full season of excava-
tion in the summer of 1932. He returned to Washington in November
1932. Barrow seems the most promising locality at which to find
dependable evidence of the relationship between the old Bering Sea
culture and the Thule, the dominant prehistoric Eskimo culture of the
eastern Arctic regions. In addition to archeological material Mr.
Ford obtained the skull of a bowhead whale and a series of birds.
From February 18 to June 5, 1933, Frank M. Setzler, assistant
curator of archeology, continued archeological investigations in south-
western Texas, restricting this year’s work to the Pecos River area,
to trace the eastern limits of the cave culture. One large cave over-
looking the Pecos and a medium-sized shelter near Deadmans Canyon
were completely excavated. It is not yet practicable to evaluate the
results of this third season in the Big Bend area, but the cultural
material recovered obviously belongs to the same horizon as that found
farther west. Though a general relationship to the Basket Maker
culture of the Southwest is apparent in the material collected both in
1932 and 1933, enough distinct characteristics appear in the remains
that Mr. Setzler has exposed in Texas to warrant a temporary desig-
nation as the Big Bend cave culture. Neither-pottery nor any other
class of artifact commonly used by archeologists in establishing a
relative chronology has yet been found in association with remains
peculiar to these cave dwellers of ancient Texas, and no bond has been
discovered to connect them definitely with any other primitive group
known in the Rio Grange drainage. One result of the 1932 expedition
was the finding of 27 bones of the California condor (Gymnogyps
californianus) associated with human remains in a cave on the south
tip of Mule Ear Peaks. This is the first indication of the former
existence of this bird in Texas and is the largest collection of bones
recovered outside its present range. In his 1933 investigations, as in
those of previous years, Mr. Setzler was greatly assisted by the staff
of the United States Bureau of Plant Quarantine at San Antonio.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 73
On his way to Washington late in May, Mr. Setzler spent a week in
east-central Louisiana investigating mounds and village sites that
available data indicated might be related to the so-called ‘‘ Hopewell
culture’’ of the northern Mississippi Valley. The results of this brief
examination are such as to warrant more intensive research.
In order to complete the enormous task of reorganizing its collec-
tions and exhibits, the division of Old World archeology deferred
actual field work for the year. Assistant’ Curator J. Townsend
Russell, however, spent a brief period in France during midsummer
in connection with the cooperative investigations inaugurated in
November 1931 between the University of Toulouse and the Smith-
sonian Institution.
Dr. Ale§ Hrdlitka conducted an anthropological and archeological
survey of Kodiak Island and made extensive excavations at Uyak
Bay, Alaska. These excavations, which have already yielded much
valuable and new material, are now more than a third finished.
Dr. R.S. Bassler, head curator of geology, spent several weeks in the
Mississippi Valley collecting Silurian and Mississippian echinoderms
for the Springer collection. Several hundred crinoids and blastoids
and many specimens of other classes of fossils were obtained, and some
interesting facts in silicification and related phenomena were checked. |
Under the auspices of the Canfield fund, EK. P. Henderson spent 4
months collecting minerals, rocks, and ores in the Rocky Mountain
States, assisted by F. A. Gonyer, of Harvard University. Among the
districts visited were the geode region about Keokuk, Iowa; the Black
Hills of South Dakota; Butte and Helena, Mont.; Coeur d’Alene,
Idaho; Park City, Bingham, Thomas Range, and other localities in
Utah; the carnotite fields of Colorado and Utah; and Leadville,
Breckenridge, Alma, and Cripple Creek, Colo. Among the material
obtained were a huge quartz geode, numerous well-crystallized copper
minerals, and rare vanadium minerals.
Dr. W. F. Foshag, accompanied by James Benn, visited the mica and
gem mines about Amelia, Va., and collected a number of rare minerals.
Mr. Benn also explored a newly discovered cave near Beaver Creek,
Md., and obtained unusual stalagmitic growths of beautiful and
perfect form.
Explorations for the division of stratigraphic paleontology were
made by Dr. G. A. Cooper during 6 weeks spent in the richly fossilif-
erous country on Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec, resulting in the acquisition
of many fine fossils. Following this Dr. Cooper made stratigraphic
studies in New York State’s classical sequence of Devonian rocks.
Though supplementary to previous studies by Dr. Cooper in this
State, this year’s task was to trace the stratigraphic units eastward
from the Unadilla Valley. The needed columnar sections were pre-
pared, and many specimens, some new to science, were obtained.
16528—33——6
74 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 193838
_ As the field expedition under C. W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate
paleontology, extended well into the present year, only brief mention
was made of it in last year’s report. This expedition in the Oligocene
of Montana, western Nebraska, southeastern South Dakota, and
eastern Wyoming brought gratifying results in the acquisition of a
large and representative collection of this important fauna. Out-
standing among many valuable specimens is a nearly complete skeleton
of an eagle of a type distinct from any hitherto known.
An important accomplishment of the department of biology was the
organization of the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition, under
the direction of Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of mollusks and Cenozoic
invertebrates, and the successful completion of the first of a series of
cruises planned for oceanographic work. Eldridge R. Johnson in the
fail of 1932 placed his palatial yacht Caroline at the disposal of the
Smithsonian Institution for the purpose of deep-sea exploration, to-
gether with funds for equipment of the vessel, necessary gear and
instruments, and an adequate scientific staff. At the suggestion of
Dr. Bartsch an oceanographic survey of the Puerto Rican Deep was
undertaken. Various agencies of the Government interested in
oceanographic work, including bureaus in the Navy, Agriculture, and
_ Commerce Departments, rendered valuable assistance in the way of
suggestions and material, as did the authorities of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, the Oceanographic Institution of Woods
Hole, the American Museum of Natural History, Dr. William Beebe,
and others. The gathering of equipment and its installation began m
October, and on January 21, 1933, the Caroline left New York.
The program for the cruise was carried out successfully, and on
March 14 the Caroline returned to Washington loaded with valuable
collections, embracing many forms of life unknown to science, and
with extensive observations in the various branches of oceanography,
all of which are now in the hands of specialists for study. During
the cruise more than 900 soundings were made, and serial gatherings
of water samples and temperatures were taken down to 3,200 fathoms.
Collections were made at 109 stations, mostly at depths below 200
fathoms, with gear ranging from tangles to dredges, beam trawls,
otter trawls, and intermediate nets. Several cores were taken, and
morning and evening observations of air draft were made by means
of pilot balloons observed through a theodolite. It is planned to
continue the work during another cruise in the same general area.
Another important marine expedition was that of Dr. Waldo L.
Schmitt, curator of marine invertebrates, to the Galapagos Islands on
the yacht Velero III, through invitation of Capt. G. Allan Hancock,
owner of the ship and leader of the expedition. Dr. Schmitt em-
barked at Los Angeles on December 28, 1932, and returned on March
25, 1933. Fully equipped for scientific work both on land and sea
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM afd
and with a staff representing several branches of zoology, the expedi-
tion visited 11 of the 16 principal islands of the Galapagos Archi-
‘pelago and 13 other places on the coasts of South and Central America
and Mexico, including the Malpelo, Cocos, and Isabel Islands. The
expedition obtained large series of invertebrates of which a first set
of Crustacea, to which Dr. Schmitt paid special attention, becomes
the property of the National Museum. Many additions to scientific
knowledge in this group are included in these collections.
Dr. Hugh M. Smith continued explorations in Siam covering
various parts of the country not previously visited. The work
‘included a trip up the tortuous Pasak River, which marks the bound-
ary between central Siam and the eastern plateau, journeys to Sam
Roy Yot (Three Hundred Peaks) in western Siam, and to the moun-
tain-forest jungle of the northwestern corner of Siam. The large
collections of mammals, birds, reptiles, and mollusks received testify
to Dr. Smith’s continued interest in the Museum and will yield many
‘scientific novelties.
Collections received from Dr. D. ©. Graham indicate that he has
safely returned to his old field in western China and has resumed his
zoological activities in behalf of the Smithsonian Institution. Con-
tinuation of his former explorations has been planned in cooperation
with the recently established West China Museum.
Dr. Alan Mozley, awarded the Walter Rathbone Bacon traveling
scholarship under the Smithsonian Institution for study of the land
and fresh-water molluscan fauna of Siberia, had a successful season
during the summer of 1932. Through the cooperation of local
authorities he was enabled to carry out plans for a visit to the Akhmo-
linsk Steppe and to the taiga north of Tomsk. Thanks to the
generous assistance of the director of the limnological station at Lake
Baikal, he was able to spend nearly 2 months in the Baikal region,
where he circumnavigated the lake in the motor yacht of the station
and made various land excursions. During the winter Dr. Mozley
worked on his collections at the University of Edinburgh, where
facilities were generously provided him.
Dr. Herbert Friedmann, curator of birds, through the courtesy of
Hobart Ames, visited Grand Junction, Tenn., to study a curious red
phase among the quail found in that locality. Dr. A. Wetmore,
assistant secretary, during a trip to New Mexico and Arizona, col-
lected series of bird skins and skeletons.
The beginning of the year found Dr. J. M. Aldrich, curator of
insects, west of the Rocky Mountains collecting Diptera, work that
was completed the middle of August. P. W. Oman, of the Bureau
of Entomology, made an extended trip by automobile through the
northwestern United States to obtain specimens of leafhoppers and
other homopterous insects, and returned with many valuable addi-
tions to the Museum collections.
76 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933.
Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt spent the first 6 weeks of the year at the
marine laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington at Dry
Tortugas, Fla., in continuation of studies of the crustacean fauna of
the region. A comprehensive collection of marine invertebrates,
mainly crustaceans, was brought back.
During the early part of the year Dr. Paul Bartsch continued
studies of Cerion colonies on the Florida Keys, with the financial.
assistance of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. On his return
he collected mollusks on several mountain peaks of the southern
Alleghenies.
Austin H. Clark made several trips to the region included in the
proposed Shenandoah National Park in furtherance of a project for
coordinating and extending knowledge of the biology of the area, in
cooperation with the National Park Service, the United States.
Bureau of Public Roads, and the Virginia State Commission on Con-
servation and Development.
In July and August 1932, J. R. Swallen, assistant botanist in the
section of grasses, collected in Yucatan under a cooperative arrange-
ment between the United States Department of Agriculture, the
University of Michigan, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington,
in connection with a biological survey of the Mayan area. The col-
lection obtained, about 1,000 specimens, has increased the known
erass flora of the region by more than 50 percent. C. V. Morton,
aid in the division of plants, left in March for a 3-months’ botanical
exploration in Oaxaca. Because of an unfavorable season and Mr.
Morton’s illness, this work, which was conducted with the kind
assistance of Dr. Emil Makrinius, of Pochutla, had to be considerably
curtailed. The 2,000 specimens collected, however, will prove valu-
able, since they come from a region little represented in the National
Herbarium. |
During the summer of 1932, Prof. C. E. Burt, of Southwestern
College, Winfield, Kans., carried on field work in herpetology designed
to obtain series of turtles in the region of the upper reaches of the
Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. The Museum has long needed
material from that portion of the Appalachian system. ‘The trip,
made by automobile, was eminently successful and resulted in large
and important collections.
During the Peary Memorial expedition to the west coast of Green-
land, under command of Capt. R. A. Bartlett, arranged by the Peary
family, Arthur D. Norcross, and friends, Captain Bartlett obtained
a large collection of marine invertebrates mostly from the vicinity
of Cape York, which with customary generosity he presented to the
Museum.
W. G. Sheldon and Richard Borden, during July, August, and
September 1932, undertook a second expedition to the mountain
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM is
region in east-central British Columbia, reaching Mount Selwyn on
the Peace River on July 17 and Hudson Hope on August 1. The
Sukunka River, which drains the mountains just south of Pine Pass,
was investigated to its source, and a grizzly bear was collected. The
expedition, difficult and arduous, terminated at the railroad at
Dawson Creek, and was highly successful in its collections, which
included a moose, a grizzly bear, mountain goats, wolves, red fox,
marten, weasels, marmots, rabbits, squirrels, and various smaller
mammals.
EDUCATIONAL WORK
The National Museum during the year continued its customary
activities in educational lines. Our exhibition halls display great
series of objects so arranged as to demonstrate facts of many kinds,
on subjects ranging from the tools and dress of primitive man to
complicated modern machinery, examples of the life of strange lands,
of the elements that compose the earth, fossil animals and plants
of former ages, and many other things. Descriptive labels accom-
pany all these, and there is constant change to keep them properly
arranged and up to date. The whole serves as a compendium of
reference to the student or as an attractive display to the one of more
casual interest, from which all may profit according to their desires.
In addition, the Museum is constantly active in the dissemination
of knowledge in response to many hundreds of inquiries that come
by mail or from visitors. Classes from the city schools are guided
through the halls, and groups of students from a distance are given
similar service. Although the Museum does not maintain regular
series of lectures, members of the staff are called on regularly to
address meetings. Students throughout the country interested in
definite problems come to work with our collections and libraries,
and frequently workers from abroad are engaged in investigations
here that sometimes continue for months. Thus it may be seen how
widely varied is the range of our educational activities and how
extensive the field that they cover.
VISITORS
The Museum buildings were open to visitors during the year on
week days from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Sundays from 1:30 to
4:30 p.m., except the Aircraft Building, which was open only on week
days. All the buildings were closed all day on Christmas and New
Year’s Days, and part of the day on December 24, 26, and 31, Jan-
uary 2, and March 4.
The total number of visitors to the various Museum buildings
during the year was 1,427,358, or 202,672 less than during 1931-32,
a decrease clearly reflecting economic conditions throughout the
78
ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
country. The average attendance for week days was 3,825 and for
Sundays 4,571. The number of visitors to the Smithsonian Building
on week days was 183,928, a daily average of 591, and on Sundays
40,561, an average of 780; to the Arts and Industries Building
478,160 on week days (average, 1,537) and 103,642 on Sundays.
(average, 1,993); to the Natural History Building 426,514 on week
days (average, 1,371) and 93,463 on Sundays (average, 1,797); and
to the Aircraft Building 101,091, a daily average of 325.

editions for office use of the complete volumes 79, 80, and 81 of the
Proceedings of the National Museum. Forty-one separate papers
published include 2 in the Bulletins and 39 in the Proceedings.
The distribution of volumes and separates to libraries and indi-
viduals on the regular mailing lists aggregated 71,294 copies; while
in addition 14,256 copies of publications issued during this and pre-
vious years were supplied in response to special requests. The
mailing lists have been revised to avoid loss in distribution.
During the year 504,770 forms, labels, and other items were printed
and 970 volumes were bound.
LIBRARY
In the library system of the Smithsonian Institution, the National
Museum Library is second in importance only to the Smithsonian
deposit in the Library of Congress. Its collections, concerned
chiefly with natural history and technology, were increased during
the year by 2,436 volumes and 786 pamphlets, and now number
84,580 volumes and 110,748 pamphlets. The accessions came, as
usual, from four sources: Purchases, gifts, exchanges, and binding
periodicals.
Gifts were received from many members and associates of the
Museum staff. Mrs. Charles D. Walcott gave the library many
publications, as did also the late Dr. William H. Holmes, former
director of the National Gallery of Art, his gifts for the year totaling
more than 600. Important gifts also were received by assignment
from the Smithsonian Institution. One was a collection of letters
written by Asa Gray, John Torrey, Charles Pickering, Capt. Charles
Wilkes, and others of the United States exploring expedition, 1838-42,
to William D. Brackenridge, a prominent botanist of the expedition.
The collection was presented to the Institution by Mrs. Isabel Brack-
enridge Hendry, acting for the grandchildren of Mr. Brackenridge.
It constitutes a valuable addition to the manuscript material on the
subject already in the library.
The staff kept the current work up to date and performed certain
extra activities. They entered 10,458 periodicals, or 1,433 more than
in 1932. Among these were 204 volumes and 1,092 parts that they
obtained by special exchange letters in the process of completing
standard sets. They also began 86 new exchanges for the Museum;
sent 795 volumes to the bindery; cataloged 2,108 volumes, 954 pam-
phlets, and 15 charts; and added 20,242 cards to the catalogs and
shelf lists. Until toward the close of the year the library work for the
National Gallery of Art was done, as usual, by the main library staff;
it consisted of entering 428 periodicals and cataloging 344 volumes and
93 pamphlets. The number of volumes and parts sent to the sectional
libraries for filing was 5,901. The number of intramural loans was
SO ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
8,344, of which more than a third were made at the loan desk in the
Arts and Industries Building. Of these, 2,359 publications were
borrowed from the Library of Congress and 535 from other libraries,
including those of the Department of Agriculture, Geological Survey,
Army Medical Museum; and the Boston Public Library, Cleveland
Public Library, John Crerar Library, Newberry Library; the libraries
of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, American Mu-
seum of Natural History, Arnold Arboretum, Field Museum of
Natural History, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Peabody Museum;
and Columbia, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Princeton, and Yale Universities. In all, 42 publications were bor-
rowed from libraries out of town, and 30 lent to them. The number
of publications returned to the Library of Congress was 2,526 and to
other libraries 608.
The staff filed the Wistar Institute cards to date and sorted and
distributed the systematic set of the Concilium Bibliographicum
cards to the sectional libraries. They began the rearrangement and
classifying of the contents of the manuscript case, taking up first the
Berlandier manuscripts, consisting of several thousand pages mainly
on the natural history of Mexico. They returned hundreds of publi-
cations no longer needed to the Superintendent of Documents, and
transferred other hundreds to the Library of Congress, the Patent
Office, and Howard University.
One of the most important tasks of the staff during the year was
making analyticals for the first 36 volumes of the Proceedings of the
National Museum. This work was undertaken in cooperation with
the Library of Congress, to which the 1,694 manuscript cards prepared
were sent for printing, and completes the analysis of this well-known
set of Museum publications. Library-of-Congress printed cards will
soon be available for all the publications that have been issued by the
Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus. Several sets of these cards
are being received by the library, of which two are being filed in the
union and Museum catalogs. One is also being used as the basis of
the dictionary index that was begun at the Smithsonian early in the
year. Finally, the difficult task of reorganizing the technological
library in the Old Museum was notably advanced. The wooden
shelving in the north gallery on the third floor was replaced by steel
to the extent of 1,134 linear feet, the collections were reshelved, and
a careful reading of the shelves was begun, preparatory to taking an
inventory. :
As time permitted, the staff continued to render special assistance
in solving the problems of the sectional libraries, including those of the
divisions of mammals, botany, and physical anthropology.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 81
PHOTOGRAPHIC LABORATORY
The photographic laboratory made during the year 3,025 negatives,
20,037 prints, 867 lantern slides, and 104 enlargements; developed 98
rolls of film and 48 film packs; and dry-mounted 39 prints. This
work represents a slight increase over last year in the number of
negatives and prints made, and was required by the National Museum
and by the National Gallery of Art and the Bureau of American
Ethnology, whose photographic needs are supplied by the laboratory
through a cooperative arrangement.
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT
Repairs and alterations—Among the more important repairs and
alterations to Museum buildings performed during the year are the
following:
The exterior walls of the Natural History Building were washed by
a detail of firemen from the District of Columbia Fire Department.
The plaster ceiling and side walls in the north lobby, Natural
History Building, were given three coats of paint, and other painting
was done as needed, both interior and exterior, including the tin roofs
of the Arts and Industries Building and the Smithsonian Building.
The women’s comfort room in the Natural History Building was
thoroughly renovated.
The large second-floor east-corner room and the small room adjoin-
ing it, in the Arts and Industries Building, were remodeled in the
spring of 1933 for the occupancy of the associate director and his
assistants. The small anteroom was also renovated. Also, room
90 was remodeled for the use of the new illustrator.
The cafe dining room in the Arts and Industries Building was
remodeled, the walls and ceiling covered with composition board, and
new fixtures installed.
Work was completed on the installation of the pneumatic collecting
and conveying system in the two woodworking rooms in the carpenter
shop for removing sawdust.
The work of dismantling the George Washington Bicentennial Art
Exhibit was completed in January. The two stone lions on the pedes-
tals at each side of the south steps, Natural History Building, were
removed and shipped to Newport News, Va., for permanent exhibi-
tion. Several of the plaster figures remained in the rotunda, having
been presented to the National Gallery of Art.
Heat, light, and power.—The heat, light, and power plant, located
in the Natural History Building, was in continuous operation for
about 8 months of the year. The consumption of coal was somewhat
more than it was last year, but not above the average for the past few
years. For heat, light, and power production 3,297.1 tons of bitu-
minous coal were purchased at $4.62 a ton.
82 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
The electric current purchased for the Arts and Industries Building
during the year amounted to 124,790 kilowatt-hours and cost $2,849.66,
while the current purchased during the summer for the other buildings
was 264,310 kilowatt-hours and cost $4,645.08, which makes a total of
389,100 kilowatt-hours purchased at a cost of $7,494.74. The rate
per kilowatt-hour was 1.93 cents, which is materially less than for
last year, owing primarily to the fact that the current for the Arts and
Industries Building was on a different schedule. The current
generated in the Museum plant was 621,384 kilowatt-hours, produced
at a cost of 1.63 cents a kilowatt-hour.
When the new lead-covered cables were purchased last year for
enlarging the connection between the Museum lines and the Potomac
Electric Power Co. cables where they enter the Natural History
Building on the north side, the central line was not increased. To
make this connection safe, a new 500,000 circular mils cable was
bought and will be installed during the coming year.
A good deal of electrical repair work has been done during the year,
including not only regular repair and upkeep, but also installation of
new wiring systems where the old wires have been found to be
overloaded or defective.
Repair work too has been necessary on some of the elevators,
especially the automatic push-button elevator in the east end of the
Smithsonian Building, which for safety’s sake should be replaced by
a manually operated car at the earliest possible time.
New electric-light equipment to be installed includes 191 ceiling
fixtures purchased for the third floor of the Natural History Building.
The lighting of the stamp collection, in the Arts and Industries
- Building, which has been desired for a long time, has now been com-
pleted. This consists of white porcelain-lined inverted trough reflec-
tors supported from the tops of the cases in such a way as to deflect
the light down against each surface of the slides on which the stamps
are mounted. The method has proved very satisfactory and efficient.
To provide convenient connections for the twelve 500-watt reflec-
tors purchased last year for added interior illumination of the dome
of the Natural History Building, 12 outlet boxes with twin receptacles
have been installed around the rotunda on the fourth floor, with direct
control in the engine room.
The installation of small, low-voltage lamps for microscopic work
in the National Herbarium has gone forward. This method of
furnishing light for such work was begun last year, and has proved so
satisfactory that it has been called for by other workers.
The new heating system at the north front of the Smithsonian
Building was completed and was in operation throughout the year.
Further improvement in heating efficiency was effected by replacing
with new low radiators, in various offices in the Natural History
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 83
Building, the radiators of the taller type, some of which were badly
situated. Work has progressed, too, on the installation, begun last
year, of new pipe in the hot-water system in the Natural History
Building. This pipe, brass instead of galvanized iron, will tend to
retard the accumulation of scale and dirt and thus aid in the proper
flow and distribution of the water. Because of the congested location
of the old equipment, the tank and other new apparatus are to be
placed in the east end of the engine room.
Ice production—The refrigerating machine, located in the base-
ment of the Natural History Building, for manufacturing ice for all
the Museum buildings, was operated a total of 4,058 hours during
the year and produced 413.9 tons of ice at a cost of $827.68, or at the
rate of $2 a ton (35 cents a ton less than for last year). During the
extremely hot weather, it was necessary: to purchase 12% tons of ice,
at a cost of $3.80 a ton.
Fire protection.—The fire alarms in the various Museum buildings
have been regularly inspected and tested, the fire hose examined and
the plugs flushed, and the sprinkler system in the Aircraft Building
properly cared for.
In the Arts and Industries Building some ihagiees was made in
reducing fire hazards along lines recommended by the Federal Fire
Council. The improvements include fillmg window openings and
open arches with plaster block, replacing wooden partitions with
plaster block, replacing old electric wiring with modern wiring, and
replacing wooden library shelves with steel shelves. Although many
of the fire hazards still remain, especially in the Smithsonian Building
and the Arts and Industries Building, they are being removed as
rapidly as funds permit, and fire protection is being generally improved.
Furmture and fixtures—The furniture added during the year in-
cluded 10 exhibition cases, 365 pieces of storage, office, laboratory,
and other furniture, and 2,373 drawers, boxes, and frames of various
kinds. During the same period, 19 exhibition cases and bases, 93
pieces of storage, office, and laboratory furniture, and 112 wooden
drawers were condemned as unfit for further use.
An inventory of furniture on hand June 30, 1933, showed 3,743
exhibition cases and bases, 17,001 pieces of storage, office, and lab-
oratory furniture, and 103,062 drawers, boxes, and frames.
MEETINGS AND RECEPTIONS
The facilities of the auditorium and lecture room are offered by the
Museum to scientific and educational organizations for regular and
‘special meetings, and whenever possible it assists in carrying out
their programs. Ninety-five such meetings were held in the audi-
torium and lecture room during the year by a wide range of societies
-and organizations.
84 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
Memorial meeting —To commemorate the many years of service in
the Smithsonian Institution of Prof. William Henry Holmes, who
died on April 20, 1933, a memorial meeting was held on the morning
of April 22, Dr. Abbot presiding. The meeting was widely attended
by his coworkers and friends.
Receptions.—On the evening of January 26, 1933, a reception was.
held by the Washington Real Estate Board in connection with the
convention in Washington of the National Organization of Real
Estate Boards. The foyer and all the first floor of the Natural
History Building were open for the occasion.
About 1,775 persons attended an informal reception given on the:
evening of March 28, 1933, in the Natural History Building by the
American Chemical Society, convening in Washington at that time.
Music was furnished by the United States Marine Band, and motion
pictures on chemical subjects were shown in the auditorium.
The Congress of Physicians and Surgeons held a reception for
Members of Congress on the evening of May 9, 1933, in the rotunda,
art gallery, and auditorium of the Natural History Building. Nearly
1,500 persons attended.
Gellatly Art Collection opening.—The official opening of the Gellatly
Art Collection took place in the Natural History Building on the:
evening of June 22, 1933. Secretary and Mrs. Abbot, Assistant
Secretary and Mrs. Wetmore, and the Acting Director of the National.
Gallery of Art and Mrs. Tolman received.
Special exhibits —The annual forestry notebook contest, under the:
auspices of the public schools of the District of Columbia, was held in
the foyer of the Natural History Building, November 16 to 28, 1932.
Some of the notebooks were attached to Museum floor screens, while:
others were exhibited on temporary tables furnished by the Museum.
The wooden screens forming alcoves on both sides of the foyer in
the Natural History Building were used from December 10, 1932,
until January 10, 1933, for an exhibit of architectural drawings from
the architectural departments of colleges and schools in the District.
of Columbia, which was held under the auspices of the Washington.
Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. The exhibition
was opened on the evening of December 10, with a reception in the
foyer. Drawings were exhibited by the following institutions: George:
Washington University, University of Maryland, Central High School,
Catholic University of America, Gallaudet College, and McKinley
High School.
From March 30 to April 14, 1933, four alcoves on the west side of
the foyer were assigned for an exhibit of material collected under the:
direction of Dr. Paul Bartsch on the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea.
expedition. The deep-sea specimens, in jars, were placed on plain:
wooden shelves installed on the semipermanent screens.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 85
The foyer was occupied from April 17 until May 5, 1933, for an
exhibition of public school art under the auspices of the Kastern Arts
Association, and from May 8 to 20 part of the foyer was given over to
an exhibition of colored posters on wild-flower preservation, under the
auspices of the Wild Flower Preservation Society.
CHANGES IN ORGANIZATION AND STAFF
The changes this year in organization and staff were caused chiefly
by the compulsory retirement on June 30, 1932, of a number of
employees in key positions. The retirement of W. deC. Ravenel
deprived the department of arts and industries of its director and the
division of history of its administrative supervisor. The duties of
both -of these offices were on July 1, 1932, temporarily assumed by
J. E. Graf, associate director of the Museum. .On September 6, 1932,
the position of director of the department of arts and industries was
replaced by a new position of head curator—bringing the department
in line with the natural history departments—and Carl W. Mitman,
curator of engineering, was advanced to the head curatorship. Frank.
A. Taylor, assistant curator of engineering, succeeded Mr. Mitman as
curator of the division of engineering. The division of history con-
tinued to remain an independent division, reporting to the head of
the Museum through the associate director.
In the department of biology, the assistant curatorship of the
division of fishes, vacated by the retirement of Barton A. Bean on
June 30, 1932, was filled on January 3, 1933, by the appointment
of Dr. George S. Myers. Dr. Horace G. Richards, assistant curator in
the division of mollusks, resigned on September 10, 1932.
In the department of anthropology, the position of scientific aide
that had been held by Richard A. Allen was abolished, and the clerical
force was strengthened by the appointment of an assistant clerk-
stenographer for the division of ethnology.
In the department of geology, James Benn was made scientific
aide on March 1, 1933, taking over part of the work formerly done
by Miss Margaret W. Moodey.
In the mechanical shops, H. C. Taylor, head of the paint shop, who
retired on June 30, 1932, was succeeded on September 6, 1932, by
William Crossingham, who had been associated with this branch of
the Museum work for over 30 years.
In the administration office, James G. Traylor, appointment clerk,
was retired on June 30, 1932, but he continued as clerk to the Board
of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution. On January 16, 1933,
the appointment work of the Smithsonian Institution was consoli-
‘dated with the classification and retirement work, and Miss Helen
A. Olmsted, from the administrative office of the Museum, was made
‘personnel officer of the Institution.
S6 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
On August 29, 1932, Carl W. Mitman was appointed contact officer
to represent the Smithsonian Institution in its participation in the
Century of Progress Exposition, Chicago, June 1 to November 1,
1933. On June 15, Roderic F. Davis was made special agent under
Mr. Mitman for work in Chicago.
Honorary connections with the national collections were conferred
on several scientists of note. David J. Bushnell, Jr., long associated
with the ethnological and archeological work of the Institution, was
given an honorary appointment as collaborator in anthropology on
July 27, 1932. J. Townsend Russell, who had for several years held
an honorary position as collaborator in Old World archeology, was
made honorary assistant curator of that subject on May 13, 1933.
In the department of biology, the work of Dr. Charles Branch
Wilson, who has collaborated on Museum collections for a quarter of
a century, was recognized by his honorary appointment on June 30,
1933, as collaborator in Copepoda.
In the department of geology, the active interest for many years of
Dr. August F. Foerste was again recognized, this time by his honorary
appointment on September 29, 1932, as associate in paleontology.
Dr. Foerste served the Museum in an honorary capacity as collabo-
rator in paleontology from April 16 to December 31, 1928.
The Smithsonian was fortunately able, after her retirement from
active Government service, to take advantage of Miss Margaret W.
Moodey’s long experience in identifying, classifying, and cataloging
geological specimens by procuring her services under the income of
the Springer fund as aide for work on the Springer collection of fossil
echinoderms.
Four employees were retired during the year under the provisions
of the Civil Service retirement act. Of these Frank T. Wright,
laborer, was retired for disability on August 31, 1982. Others were
retired because of age limitation, as follows: Margaret W. Moodey,
aide in the department of geology, on December 31, 1932, after over
30 years of service; Ambrose Green, guard, on March 31, 1933, with
nearly 38 years of service; and Walter A. Barkley, guard, on January
15, 1933, after 2 years at the Museum but with other civil and military
service for the Government.
The Museum lost through death 2 active workers and 3 others long
associated with its activities. George Emmert, guard, died on Feb-
ruary 1, 1933, and John J. Veit, guard, on April 26, 1933, after services
of 14 and 15 years, respectively. The death should be recorded, also,
of Dr. Marcus Benjamin, retired, for many years editor of the
National Museum, on October 22, 1932.
DETAILED REPORTS ON THE COLLECTIONS
REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY
(Wa.LTER Hoven, Head Curator)
Many things of exceptional value came to the department of
anthropology during the year, mostly by gift. Though exploration,
the source of first-grade scientific material, was curtailed, archeo-
logical work on Kodiak Island and at Point Barrow, Alaska, and
exploration of caves in Texas was continued; a reconnaissance was
made of remains of Indian irrigation projects and house structure in
southern Arizona; and cooperative archeological investigations were
pursued in Europe.
ACCESSIONS FOR THE YEAR
The division of ethnology received 48 accessions and 961 speci-
mens, compared with 60 accessions and 931 specimens last year.
Noteworthy among them is a series of Philippine material, including
Moro and other Malay textiles collected by Gen. Tasker H. Bliss
while Governor of Moro Province, 1905-9, and presented by Mrs.
Bliss; textiles and beadwork of the Moro, Bagobo, and Igorot Tribes
collected by the late Capt. Lewis Patstone and presented by Miss
M. A. Patstone; and several embroidered garments of Pina cloth,
donated by Miss Sarah 8. Metcalf. From Cambodia, Indo-China,
came a crossbow and from China and Japan large and artistic collec-
tions of lacquer, porcelains, brasses, bronzes, ivory carvings, and
many objects of minor art. Africa is represented by an inscribed gold
ring from the Gold Coast and by a miscellaneous ethnological collec-
tion from the Kivu district, Belgian Congo, presented by Miss Ellen
I. Burk. A headdress and war club from Rapa Island, Society
Group, came as the gift of Stanley W. Bird. Russia is the source of
a small collection of brasses, including an excellent samovar, teapot,
and tray, the gift of Mrs. F. Ostrach. Mexican material received
includes Guadalajara earthenware, the gift of Miss Susan P. Keech,
and horse trappings of braided horsehair.
By transfer from the Bureau of American Ethnology, a unique
collection was received from the Chama Indians of the Ucayali
River area of Peru and from several Jivaro groups of eastern Ecuador.
This material was obtained by M. W. Stirling, chief of the Bureau,
while a member of the Latin-American expedition to eastern Ecuador

and Peru, and scientifically is the outstanding collection of the year,
though intrinsically the gift of imperial Chinese porcelains, brasses,
and other objects of high art secured in Peiping by Gen. Charles A.
Coolidge in 1900, and presented by Mrs. Coolidge, is of first rank.
The Mrs. Alexius McGlannan collection of Japanese, Chinese, and
Kuropean folk and minor arts is likewise highly valuable.
The bequest to the National Museum by the late Osage chief,
Tom Baconrind, of his personal belongings and ceremonial parapher-
nalia aroused unusual interest, as Chief Baconrind was prominent in
Oklahoma and learned in the ceremonial lore of his tribe. He assisted
the late Francis La Flesche, of the Bureau of American Ethnology, in
his studies of the Osage language. The Baconrind gift includes
decorative embellishments of native Indian, peyote, and Christian
cult elements. A valuable addition to the collection of historical and
comparative religious art is the large gift from the estate of Mrs. Alice
Pike Barney. ’
In the division of archeology 64 new accessions, totaling 2,737
specimens, were added, as against 69 accessions and 6,712 specimens
during the previous year. The following are worthy of special
notice: 339 stone, bone, and wooden implements, basketry, and other
materials collected by Frank M. Setzler from six caves in Brewster
County, Tex.; 477 flint implements from Aurignacian, Upper Paleo-
lithic, and other early cultural horizons in two caves at the foot of
Mount Carmel, Palestine, collected by the American School of
Prehistoric Research and received as a loan from the Archaeological
Society of Washington; 789 stone, bone, ‘and ivory implements and
ornaments collected by Dr. Ales Hrdli¢ka on Kodiak Island, Alaska;
58 specimens of stone and copper implements and pottery collected in
Ecuador by M. W. Stirling; 218 stone artifacts from Monasuka-
panough and other Indian village sites, mostly in Albemarle County,
Va., collected and presented by D. I. Bushnell, Jr.; 58 stone, shell, and
earthenware objects from five village sites in Puerto Rico, collected
by Gerrit S. Miller, Jr.; 26 earthenware vessels and stone implements
from Ometepe Island, Lake Nicaragua, presented by Corp. Emil
M. Krieger; 9 wood carvings, copper pins, and an earthenware effigy
collected at Pachacamac and other prehistoric sites in Peru and
presented by George Hewitt Myers; a quipu, or knotted string record,
and 15 fragments of textiles from Pachacamac and Trapiche ruins,
Peru, a gift from Mrs. J. P. Compton; 38 lots of potsherds, bone
projectile points, and implements from the Gran Chaco of Argentina,
from E. R. Wagner, Museo Arcaico Provincial, Santiago del Estero,
Argentina.
In the division of physical anthropology 18 accessions, 658 speci-
mens, included important skull and skeletal material from Kodiak
Island, Aleutian Islands, Point Barrow, and St. Lawrence Island,
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 89
Alaska, and from California and New Mexico. A series of 262
photographs of Filipinos came from Dr. R. B. Bean.
Two accessions were received in the section of musical instruments;
7 (378 specimens) in the section of ceramics, including 80 pieces of
older glass and pottery and 143 pieces of Irish and American Belleek
ware; and 8 (141 specimens) in art textiles, including noteworthy
embroideries and laces.
INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS
New exhibits were arranged for each of the major exhibition halls
assigned to ethnology. South American exhibits were enriched by a
large collection of Chama pottery from a group once believed not to
practice pottery manufacture. The collection shows them to be the
equal of the Coneba in producing a thin-walled, creamy-textured
ware. This and three additional exhibit units resulting from the
Latin-American expedition to eastern Ecuador have been installed.
Material included is from various groups of Jivaro and comprises
blowguns, looms and weaving apparatus, woven textiles, decorated
pottery, and potterymaking implements, objects of personal adorn-
ment, and various objects representing decadent stages in the art of
head-hunting. Mexican folk pottery and examples of the folk arts
of Mexican, Nicaraguan, and Guatemalan peoples were assembled
to form a new exhibit in the Mexican alcove. This includes textiles,
wood carving, model figures in wax, and objects of personal adorn-
ment. The Colombian and Panamanian exhibits were improved
through the addition of the W. W. Archer Choco collection and the
M. W. Stirling Tule and Choco material.
A case was arranged to show historical Indian sculpture from
modern Indian tribes. Masks and figurine carvings in wood collected
by Gibbs, Stuckley, and Wilkes from tribes of the Columbia Valley
and the Pacific Northwest are shown, as well as a portrait bust of
himself modeled by the Ute, Chief Shem, and the famous Haida
slate carving known as the ‘‘ Bear Mother.”’
During the year the division of archeology concentrated its
efforts on complete revision of the hall devoted to Old World pre-
history. An important feature is the synoptic series, portraying
diagrammatically the cultural evolution of man in relation to geo-
logical events, from Pliocene times to the period of modern civiliza-
tion, and including type artifacts, charts showing environmental
conditions, and water-color sketches suggesting characteristic human
activities and industries of the successive periods. Other major
exhibits installed deal with the following cultures: LEolithic, pre-
Chellean, Chellean, Acheulian, Micoqgien, Mousterian, Aurignacian,
Maedalenian, Azilian, Final Capsian, Maglemosian, the Proto-
16528—33—7
90 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
Neolothic of France and Italy (Campignian), of Scandinavia (Erte-
belle), and of Central Africa and India, the Neolithic of western,
northern, and Alpine Europe, of North Africa, Indo-China, Japan,
and Siberia, and the later Sumerian-Babylonian.
Five charts tracing the correlation between cultural and geo-
logical events in the Old World, 5 illustrations for the synoptic
series, 13 maps showing cultural distributions, and 6 maps depicting
the range of glacial advance and retreat were prepared and in-
corporated in the exhibits.
Study collections of the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods were
reclassified and the accompanying records corrected wherever neces-
sary to include new information. These have also been regrouped
into cultural-geographical series, so that students may examine the
material with greater ease and effectiveness. The collection from
Casa Grande, southern Arizona, secured early in the present century
by the late Jesse Walter Fewkes, was reexamined, and the exhibit
illustrating the material culture of this famous ruin was greatly
improved.
In the division of physical anthropology a temporary exhibit
of 6 cases was arranged from the newly recovered Alaska (Kodiak
Island) materials, and 3 cases of new exhibits were added to the
permanent display. A case of exhibits prepared for the National
Academy of Sciences meeting in April remained for 2 weeks on view
in the academy. Two cases of exhibits were prepared for the meet-
ing of the American Surgical Association.
INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH
In ethnology, Henry B. Collins, Jr., continued the study of Eskimo
archeology, particularly on materials collected by himself, J. A.
Ford, and M. B. Chambers. For several years the Smithsonian
Institution has conducted archeological studies along the west
Alaskan coast, to obtain data on the chronological sequence of
certain early phases of Eskimo culture. During this year and
last the scene has been shifted to the north Alaska coast in the
vicinity of Point Barrow. Here the problem involved concerns the
historical sequence of Punuk and Thule phases of Eskimo culture.
James A. Ford spent the winter of 1931-32 at Point Barrow on the
Arctic coast and devoted the following summer to excavating at
several old Eskimo sites in the region. Point Barrow has for some
time been recognized as one of the most important places archeo-
logically in Alaska, since it was the westernmost limit of the extinct
Thule culture, which centered in northern Canada, and also the most
eastward point to which the Old Bering Sea culture extended. Mr.
Ford’s excavations were the first of a systematic nature to be car-
ried on at this strategic point, and the material obtained throws
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 91
light on the relationships between the Thule, Punuk, and Old Bering
Sea cultures. Mr. Collins also devoted some time to research on
southeastern archeology, and participated in the conference on
southern prehistory held by the National Research Council at
Birmingham, Ala., in December.
Phases of Arawakan occupation of the Greater Antilles have
become known through five seasons of active field work by Smith-
sonian expeditions sponsored by Dr. W. L. Abbott in the Dominican
Republic, Haiti, and Cuba. Problems involved concern the inter-
relationships among Ciboney, Arawak, Carib, and perhaps other
tribal cultures in central and western Cuba. H. W. Krieger during
the year studied material assembled on these expeditions and belong-
ing to these tribal cultures. The greater problem of northern and
southern affiliation of the prehistoric Antillean cultures is much
nearer a solution, but much work remains to be done in Venezuela,
Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and perhaps Florida. ‘The 1932 season’s
work, during which Mr. Krieger investigated mounds, earthworks,
and kitchenmiddens in central and western Cuba, has confirmed
the belief of students that Mayan influence did not reach western
Cuba. It was also found that pre-Arawak cultures of the Ciboney
type are much more extensive than had previously been known.
The principal evidence for this is the large number of village sites
yielding no pottery.
Art design areas of North America and of Oceania and certain
problems connected with the distribution of aboriginal application
of design were other topics of research by Mr. Krieger. The quilled
and painted designs on the George Catlin collection of Indian cos-
tumes from unidentified northern Plains tribes, and the costumes
displayed in the Indian portraits by George Catlin, also received
his attention. The culture of the historic tidewater Indians of
Virginia, Maryland, and the Carolinas continues of major interest.
The strictly prehistoric cultures and the physical anthropology of
this area are receiving the attention, respectively, of Frank M.
Setzler and Dr. T. Dale Stewart.
The curator of archeology, Neil M. Judd, continued work on his
report on the Pueblo Bonito explorations of the National Geographic
Society. Assistant Curator Setzler studied archeological material
he had previously collected in the Big Bend region of Texas and
published a description of certain fragmentary vessels from east-
central Louisiana collected in 1926 by the late Gerard Fowke. The
importance of these fragments lies in their definite resemblance to
a type of pottery generally designated by archeologists as ‘‘ Hopewell’”’
and heretofore reported only from the northern Mississippi Valley.
Research by the curator of physical anthropology, Dr. Ales
Hrdliéka, was concentrated on his field work in Alaska and on study
92 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
of the skeletal materials brought back. He also finished an extensive
work on ‘‘The Anthropology of the Pueblos’’, measured the col-
lection of Chinese skeletons, and prepared for publication a mono-
graph on ‘‘Kar Exostoses: Contribution to Racial Pathology.”’
The assistant curator, Dr. T. D. Stewart, measured the tympanic
plate and external auditory meatus in the Eskimo, California Indians,
and related groups; tested the skull-capacity machine and studied
the skull-capacity problem in general; studied the vertebral column
in the Eskimo; and continued research on the hair directions of
primates.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS
Four gifts made to other institutions included 72 specimens.
One lot consisted of prehistoric Eskimo objects collected in dupli-
cate by Dr. Hrdli¢ka and Mr. Collins. Two small gifts represent-
ing the history of the Japanese Red Cross Society were made to
the National Red Cross Museum of Washington, D.C., and a large
collection. was sent to the City Museum of Talladega, Ala. Sixteen
specimens were transferred to the divisions of textiles and archeology.
During the year eight lots of archeological material (612 speci-
mens) were sent out in exchange or as gifts to educational institu-
tions, as follows: 104 specimens (gift) for scientific purposes to
Rev. David C. Graham, Suifu, Szechwan, China; 167 specimens
(gift) to the City Museum of Talladega, Ala.; 1 cast of a slate tube
to Dr. Charles Back, Montezuma, Ind., in exchange for permission
to make and retain a cast of the original; 4 lots of potsherds (gift)
to the Antelope Valley Museum, Lancaster, Calif.; 3 casts of Easter
Island wooden tablets as a gift to the Musée d’Ethnographie, Palais
du Trocadero, Paris; 4 casts (2 sendings) to W. J. Curtis, Piqua, Ky.,
in exchange for permission to make similar replicas; 329 Old World
archeological specimens (gift) to the Hastings College Museum, Hast-
ngs, Nebr.

REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY
(LEONHARD STEJNEGER, Head Curator)
The past year promises to open a new era in the development
of the divisions which deal with marine fauna, especially of the
deeper waters of the ocean. Thanks to Eldridge R. Johnson’s
initiative and offer of the use of his yacht Caroline, together with
generous funds for its equipment for oceanographic work, the first
Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition, under the direction of
Dr. Paul Bartsch, curator of mollusks, made a successful cruise of
exploration of the Puerto Rican Deep, which resulted in greatly
enriching the Museum collections, in addition to giving observations
bearing on biological, chemical, and physical problems of the ocean..
Capt. G. Allan Hancock generously offered the Museum participa-
tion in the Hancock Galapagos expedition on the yacht Velero III
during a 3-months’ oceanographic cruise to the Galapagos Islands
and the western coast of Central America. Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt,
curator of marine invertebrates, was detailed for this service and
returned with much valuable material, chiefly crustacean, for the
Museum collections.
ACCESSIONS FOR THE YEAR
There were 1,200 accessions for the year with a total of 295,782
specimens, more than double the number received during the previ-
ous year. Through the two expeditions alluded to, the scientific
importance of the invertebrate material is probably greater than
that of the vertebrate, though the high scientific value of some of
the fish collections should be emphasized, as well as the acquisition
of material of various classes from French Indo-China, important
on account of the locality being hitherto poorly represented in the
Museum. Dr. Hugh M. Smith’s collections of Siamese mammals,
birds, and mollusks maintain their standing as first-class contribu-
tions, and the first collections from Dr. D. C. Graham after his
return to his old field in China are coming up to the expectations
raised by previous experience. Many of the plant collections ac-
cessioned during the year are scientifically of a high order.
Mammals.—The outstanding accession was the skull, with six
blades of baleen, of the bowhead whale (Balaena mysticetus), col-
lected by J. A. Ford at Point Barrow, Alaska. This is the first
skull of its kind to come to any museum from the Pacific side of
94
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 95
the Arctic Ocean, and the only bowhead in any American museum,
while in European museums the species is represented by less than
half a dozen specimens. From Dr. Hugh M. Smith m Siam 151
mammals, supplementing the large collections of previous years,
were received. By exchange with H. J. V. Sody, Buitenzorg, Java,
59 mammal skins with skulls from Java and Celebes, were obtained,
mostly forms new to the Museum. W. G. Sheldon and Richard
Borden presented 63 specimens collected in British Columbia. Dr.
R. K. Enders collected in Panama 51 mammals for the Museum,
two species being new to the region. Noteworthy among the many
specimens obtained from the National Zoological Park by transfer
were a young mountain gorilla, Cacajao calvus, Hylobates agilis, and
a young fur seal born at the park. Two gibbons (Hylobates hoolock),
a species new to the Museum, were obtained in exchange, and a skele-
ton of a dugong, from Australia, by purchase.
Birds —The 456 birdskins and 2 skeletons from Siam sent by Dr.
Hugh M. Smith take first place. James Ford collected 169 bird-
skins in Alaska, and Dr. A. Wetmore 95 skins and 38 skeletons in
the southwestern United States, besides about 100 local birds. A
number of species and genera new to the Museum were obtained by
exchange, including an Hawaiian honey creeper (Paroreomyza
jflammea), 10 forms of hummingbirds, and 13 of other birds. A
skin and skeleton of the rare Hawaiian goose (Nesochen sandvicensis)
were presented by the Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry
at Honolulu, and the first known nestling wandering tattlers (Hetero-
scelus incanus), collected by Joseph S. Dixon, came from the National
Park Service. Among transfers of specimens from the National
Zoological Park was an egg of the California condor. Eggs of
148 forms hitherto not represented in the Museum were obtained
in exchange. Percy Shufeldt placed a valuable collection of 2,316
birdskins on deposit in the division.
Reptiles and amphibians.—The largest additions of the year came
from Dr. C. EK. Burt, the most important being collected for the
Museum during a trip to the upper reaches of the Tennessee and
Cumberland Rivers, when he obtained 1,491 specimens. He also
donated 1,325 specimens from the West. An important collection
from Puerto Rico containing topotype material of some recently
described frogs was the result of G. S. Miller’s visit to that island
early in 1932. Three small herpetological collections obtained from
French Indo-China are highly important as the locality was not
represented in the Museum collections previously, except for a few
specimens recently received. From the National Zoological Park
the» division received by transfer an unusually interesting lot of
animals, among which is a series of the pipa, or Surinam toad. A
splendidly preserved series of Californian Batrachoseps is of great
96 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
value for the study of that difficult group of salamanders. A good
collection of reptiles and amphibians from Kansas was contributed
by H. K. Gloyd.
Fishes —Of special importance was the fine collection of fishes
obtained by the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition off Puerto
Rico, containing many remarkable deep-sea forms, among them a
new genus and species of Triacanthidae, the second one of the family
to be recorded from the New World. Another collection of great
interest is a lot of 67 specimens presented by Dr. George S. Myers,
assistant curator of fishes, consisting mostly of type specimens of
West African and South American fresh-water fishes described by
the donor and others. Holotypes of 2 species, cotypes of 8, and
paratypes of 13 are included. Altogether this accession brings to the
Museum 26 species, 13 genera, and 1 family hitherto not represented
in its collections. From the United States Bureau of Fisheries a fine
series of 1,177 fishes from the Catawba and Tuckasegee Rivers,
N.C., including the type of a new darter, and another lot consisting
of 3 type specimens from the Gulf of Mexico, were received by
transfer. C. R. Aschemeier obtained 1,959 fresh-water fishes in
Florida, partly collected for the Museum, partly as a gift. The
British Museum presented two paratypes of Notobranchius kiyawensis.
Two paratypes of a new smelt were a gift from Dr. L. P. Schultz, of
the University of Washington. <A specimen of Gempylus serpens, a
species new to the Museum, was presented by Eastham Guild,
Papeete, Tahiti. From Dr. D. C. Graham came a collection of
fishes from Szechwan, China. )
Insects.—The outstanding accession of the year was the Edward
T. Owen collection of Lepidoptera, comprising about 40,000 beauti-
fully preserved specimens and including many species new to the
Museum. The collection represents the life work of Professor Owen
and was received from the executor of his estate. Frank Johnson, of
New York City, made several gifts of rare species of Lepidoptera of
great value, numbering in all 1,030 specimens, of species not previ-
ously in the Museum or poorly represented. Two important dona-
tions of Microlepidoptera, including about 600 specimens each, were
obtained from the British Museum and Edward Meyrick. M. W.
Stirling, Chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology, brought back
from his South American trip 350 Lepidoptera from Peru. The
collection of the late Prof. P. R. Lowry, Durham, N.H., comprising
908 slides of insects, mostly plant lice, was donated by his widow.
By exchange with O. Ringdahl, Haelsingborg, Sweden, 273 named
Diptera of the family Anthomyiidae, in which he is a distinguished
specialist, were obtained, an accession furnishing a large representation
of the northern European fauna. ‘Two lots of miscellaneous insects,
comprising about 3,800 specimens, came from Indo-China, an im-
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 97
portant addition as the Museum has little material from that region.
L. D. Christenson, Wellsville, Utah, donated a collection of 4,550
Cuban insects, and D. S. Bullock of Angol, Chile, continued his
liberal contributions. About 15,000 insects were transferred to the
Museum by the United States Bureau of Entomology, being mis-
cellaneous material received for identification from field workers.
Marine invertebrates.—The total number of specimens received was
15,160, of which the following accessions were of special interest:
From the estate of the late Dr. Charles Dwight Marsh, his important
collection of 3,307 slide mounts of copepods was acquired, including
representative material of 26 new species. Capt. Robert A. Bartlett,
New York City, presented a large collection of miscellaneous marine
invertebrates taken in northwest Greenland waters. Dr. Waldo L.
Schmitt collected series of specimens at the Tortugas, Fla., and also
a large collection of Crustacea from the Galapagos Islands, during the
cruise of the Velero III, of which mention has already been made.
The collections brought home by the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea
expedition, under direction of Dr. Paul Bartsch, were highly impor-
tant. Dr. R. E. Coker, University of North Carolina, presented
alcoholic specimens of copepods, comprising holotypes, paratypes,
and other important material representative of species to be de-
scribed by him. P. Hummelinck, of Utrecht, Holland, contributed
85 crustaceans, including types, from the Dutch islands off the coast
of Venezuela. The deposition of type specimens of new species
included the type of a new sponge, by Dr. James T. Penney, University
of South Carolina; the type of new species of crab, described by Dr.
Mary J. Rathbun, donated by the Museu Paulista, Sao Paulo, Brazil;
and the type and 3 paratypes of a new species of parasitic copepod by
Wilbur M. Tidd, Ohio State University. An important collection of
60 microscopic slide mounts and 49 alcoholic specimens of isopods
was obtained from Dr. K. W. Verhoeff, Pasing, Bavaria.
Mollusks.—One of the most important accessions of the year is
- that of 5,550 mollusks taken principally from the Puerto Rican Deep,
during the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition. Four acces-
sions, 100,500 specimens, are credited to the Frances Lea Chamber-
lain fund, including material from the Maynard collection of Cerions.
Dr. Hugh M. Smith contributed 575 specimens of mollusks from
Siam; Brother Daniel, Colegio de San José, Medellin, Colombia, 66
specimens of land, fresh-water, and marine shells; and Walter F.
Webb, Rochester, N.Y., 161 specimens from the United States and
Australia. A donation from Mrs. Isabel B. Hendry, Rosslyn, Va.,
contains about 3,100 specimens of land, fresh-water, and marine
shells, and 1 from Miss Florence S. Gilson, Nyack, N.Y., 1,400
specimens, mostly marine mollusks. From Dr. C. G. Aguayo,
Habana, Cuba, were received 67 specimens of land shells from that
98 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
island, and from the zoological section of the University of Stellen-
bosch, South Africa, 140 specimens. The type and paratype of a
new fresh-water mussel from Florida were presented by Berlin Hart
Wright, Penn Yan, N.Y.; 16 paratypes from Santo Domingo by
Dr. H. A. Pilsbry, Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and
3 cotypes from the Philippine Islands by Dr. Fred Baker, Point Loma,
Calif. :
Corals ——More than 200 specimens were received, nearly all from
the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition.
Helminths. —The total number of helminths accessioned is 1,068.
Echinoderms.—The most important of the 10 accessions received
during the year is that from the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea
expedition, including a large number of specimens of species from
moderately deep water in the Caribbean region that have not been
collected since the explorations of the Blake in 1877-80, the Albatross
in 1884-87, and the Fish Hawk in 1899.
Plants.—Accessions for the year comprised 56,125 specimens, most
important of which are as follows: 24,124 specimens were transferred
by the United States Department of Agriculture, mostly from the
Bureau of Plant Industry, 4,062 being grasses and 15,308 Argentine
specimens collected by Venturi. About 3,600 duplicate specimens
of the historic Mutis Herbarium, received as an exchange with the
Botanical Garden at Madrid, Spain, through the efforts of E. P.
Killip, will be of great importance in the study of South American
plants. A considerable number of South American plants were
obtained from the British Museum (Natural History). Several other
tropical American collections were received in exchange, among them
765 specimens of the Ecklon-Zeyler expedition from the Natural
History Museum at Vienna, Austria; 530 plants from the Royal
Botanic Gardens, Kew, England; 984 plants from the Botanical
Museum at Copenhagen, Denmark; 1,141 specimens from the Natural
History Riksmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden; 1,257 specimens, mainly
from Peru, from the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago;
1,709 specimens from British Honduras, Guatemala, and Sumatra
from the University of Michigan. Similarly, 1,619 Chinese plants
were received from Lingnan University, Canton, and 500 from the
University of Nanking, China; 744 plants collected in the Hawaiian,
Fiji, and Society Islands from the Bernice P. Bishop Museum in
Honolulu; and 886 mainly Chinese, West African, and Cuban plants
from the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University. C. V. Morton
collected 1,897 plants for the Museum at Oaxaca, Mexico, with the
assistance of Dr. Emil Makrinius. The University of Vermont gave
the National Herbarium 306 specimens collected in Mexico by C. G.
Pringle, the lot consisting of numbers not previously represented in
the collections. Among the numerous gifts by institutions and
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 99
individuals were 464 specimens from the Death Valley region, Calif.,
by the National Geographic Society; 470 specimens from Nicaragua,
by the Instituto Pedagégico de Varones, Managua; 449 specimens
from the Santa Marta region, Colombia, by Dr. William Seifriz,
University of Pennsylvania; 279 specimens from eastern Peru, by
Guillermo Klug, Iquitos; 244 specimens from Colombia, by Baltazar
Guevara Amortegui; 341 specimens from Panama, by Brother Paul,
Colegio de la Salle; and 576 specimens from the State of Washington,
by J. William Thompson, Seattle.
INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS
The main work of the taxidermists was the mounting of a hippo-
potamus and the construction of a biological group of the Haitian
ground iguana. The ‘District of Columbia faunal exhibit continued
under the care of Dr. Bartsch, who kept it current and made additions,
notably a mounted specimen of the Louisiana heron.
Additional half-unit cases were supplied in the division of mammals
for the rearrangement of the primate skins, all of which are now
erouped together. Considerable work was done in rearranging smaller
mammal skins, especially rodents and carnivores. The skeleton
collection also was rearranged. The carnivore and larger rodent
skulls of the Merriam collection, which has hitherto been kept intact
as a separate unit, were intercalated in the general collection. Twelve
large and medium-sized mammal skins were tanned or outside
contract, and 13 skins were tanned by taxidermists of the Museum,
who also degreased and made up 79 skins, skinned or prepared for
skeletons 26 mammals, and removed 15 sets of gibbon leg bones.
Fifty-five skeletons, mostly large, 145 skulls, and 14 sets of leg bones
were cleaned. Contract work on small and medium-sized skulls and
skeletons resulted in cleaning 695 skulls and 130 skeletons.
About two thirds of the birdskins received during the year were
distributed in the study series. Of collections previously held up as
separate units awaiting identification and study, the nonpasserine
birds of the Roosevelt and Aschemeier African collections were identi-
fied and distributed. About one fourth of the large Siamese collec-
tions was worked up and distributed, as well as the rest of the
Museum’s Chinese birds. The skeletal material collected by H. B.
Collins, Jr., on St. Lawrence Island was also identified. The work of
expanding and rearranging the crowded parts of the study series
included many groups of birds. The collection of alcoholic specimens
was completely overhauled and all unidentified material culled out.
The work of the preparators included skinning 108 birds, degreasing
and remaking 158 skins, mounting two birds for the District collec-
tion, cleaning 292 skeletons, skeletonizing 220 birds, and blowing
40 eggs.
100 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
In the division of reptiles and batrachians, 6,310 newly identified
specimens were incorporated in the collection. Dry preparations
were added to the turtle collection as follows: 6 skeletons, 121 skulls,
59 shells; 71 study skins were also prepared, and a number of other
reptile skins and skeletons made.
The division of fishes, during the vacancy caused by B. A. Bean’s
retirement on June 30, 1932, was ably cared for by E. D. Reid, under
the immediate supervision of the head curator, until Dr. G. S. Myers,
the new assistant curator, took charge. The large collection, mostly
of Albatross fishes, for many years at Stanford University for study
by the late David Starr Jordan and Charles Henry Gilbert, was
packed and forwarded to Washington by Dr. Myers.
Dr. J. M. Aldrich, curator of insects, whose work was confined to
Diptera, considerably improved the arrangement of several families.
Dr. Alan Stone transferred all the mosquito collection to standard
museum insect drawers and metal-covered cases and further rear-
ranged the family Tabanidae. In the Coleoptera, H. A. Barber
rearranged and expanded special groups and made a preliminary
rearrangement of Philippine hispids. Dr. M. W. Blackman rear-
ranged the Museum collection of 22 genera of the family Scolytidae.
Dr. A. G. Béving continued to supervise the coleopterous larval
collection. Nearly 3,000 jars of this material have been prepared
and filled in the past 2 years. L. L. Buchanan studied and rearranged
specimens of Hylobius and Lepidophorus, of the carabid genus
Monoferonia, of the long series of granary weevils of the genus
Sitophilus, and of the coffee-bean weevil. In addition he selected
a synoptic series of the species of the genus Calendra and identified
and arranged more than 3,000 North American specimens of the
weevil genus Apion. Dr. E. A. Chapin made progress in arrange-
ment of the scarabaeid beetles of the subfamilies Melolonthinae,
Dynastinae, and Cetoniinae. W.S. Fisher completed rearrangement
of the Mexican, Central American, and South American species of
Cerambycidae and rearranged and to some extent classified the
Oriental Cerambycidae.
In Lepidoptera the specialists proceeded with the incorporation of
the great Owen collection into the general Museum series. Foster
H. Benjamin consolidated all the North American Noctuidae of the
subfamily Catocalinae, which now occupies 67 large drawers and 36
standard museum drawers. A similar rearrangement for the North
American Noctuidae of the subfamily Agrotinae was partially com-
pleted. August Busck completed the incorporation of the Micro-
lepidoptera from the Barnes collection into the general Museum series.
Carl Heinrich added the Barnes collection material of the subfamilies
Calleriinae and Macrothecinae to the general collection. Dr. William
Schaus was active in expanding and rearranging the exotic Macro-
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 101
lepidoptera in order to care for the additional specimens that have
become available during the year. He also completed a new arrange-
ment of the family Epiplemidae and did much work on the Owen
collection.
In Hymenoptera R. A. Cushman expanded and rearranged some
of the groups and subfamilies in the Ichneumonidae. A. B. Gahan
undertook some rearrangement due to the addition of material.
C. F. W. Muesebeck arranged the Braconidae of the subfamily
Aphidiinae and the exotic specimens of the subfamily Microgasterinae.
Miss Grace A. Sandhouse completely rearranged the collections of
aculeates. In addition, the aculeate Hymenoptera of the old Fitch
collection were worked over and incorporated into the regular Museum
collections. The North American material of the genus Pemphredon
was identified and arranged; and the neotropical species of Try-
poxylon were incorporated in the collection. Many undetermined
Psammocharidae were sorted and grouped into genera, and the
North American specimens of the genus Pepsis were identified and
arranged.
In orthopteroids and neuropteroids, A. N. Caudell continued
arrangement of the regular Museum material and made some progress
in working up the Baker Philippine material. Dr. H. EK. Ewing
undertook to arrange the spider collection and sorted out and properly
segregated various mixed lots of material in the groups assigned to
him. In Hemiptera, H. G. Barber rearranged the entire Heteroptera
collection. He now has the true bugs in a satisfactory natural order
so that material is readily accessible. P. W. Oman rearranged
Museum material in the Homoptera, involving various United States
and Canadian Fulgoridae, and supervised the transfer of the extensive
North American Psyllidae collection to trays and partly rearranged
this material. He also arranged the South American species of leaf-
hoppers of the genus Agallia and its relatives, as well as a large part
of the West Indian and Central American Cicadellidae.
The alcoholic collection in the division of marine invertebrates is
in excellent shape, owing chiefly to the efficient services of the laborer
recently assigned to the division. Temporary. clerical assistance
made it possible to bring the cataloging of identified specimens about
up to date. Work on the study collection of the division of mollusks
has progressed steadily but slowly. Members of the zoological
division staff of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry gave
the helminthological collection its periodical overhauling. The usual
curatorial work was done in the collection of echinoderms.
About 25,000 mounted phanerogams were added to the main
herbarium, mostly recent South American material; 33,883 mounted
specimens were stamped and recorded, preparatory to incorporation
in the collection. The segregation of type specimens of American
102 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
phanerogams was continued by E. P. Killip and E. H. Walker, 18,768
types of new species and varieties having now been labeled, cataloged,
and placed in heavy individual covers. Also 4,225 photographs of
type specimens of American plants in other herbaria (chiefly Euro-
pean) were mounted separately on herbarium sheets for distribution
into the herbarium. Asin previous years, EK. C. Leonard, in addition
to his ordinary duties, regularly devoted some time to the moss collec-
tion, and recently began similar curatorial work on the Hepaticae,
of which a large number await incorporation in the herbarium.
The C. G. Lloyd mycological collection has been maintained in
accordance with the terms of agreement under which it was deposited.
There is great need of a comprehensive index of Mr. Lloyd’s mycologi-
cal writings, which consist to a great extent of scattered notes, the
indexes to the separate volumes into which his writings were collected
being neither complete nor uniform in style. Manuscript of a
detailed index to the seven volumes was therefore prepared during
the year and will be issued shortly by the Lloyd Library at Cincinnati.
As a further step in clarifying and rounding out Mr. Lloyd’s myco-
logical work, a complete list of his new fungus species and new com-
binations, totaling about 1,500, is being made. This will include for
each species (1) citation of place of publication; (2) other references
in the literature by Lloyd and other mycologists, with comment;
(8) citation of type and other specimens, with accompanying data.
This work, to be ready shortly, will also be published by the Lloyd
Library.
During the year 22,290 specimens were mounted by adhesive
straps, all but 6,100 of these by contract; 3,412 specimens were
glued (by contract); and 28,428 fully prepared specimens were
turned out, all of which were stamped and recorded and are now
ready for incorporation in the herbarium. Of material intended for
the herbarium, there are on hand more than 20,000 specimens that
are wholly unmounted; also 2,500 that have been glued but not
stamped. |
RESEARCH BY MEMBERS OF THE STAFF
The research of G. S. Miller, Jr., curator of mammals, was on the
primates. The large collection of gibbons (mostly brought together
by Dr. W. L. Abbott) was reexamined and reidentified in the lght
of recent studies by Pocock and Kloss; and a special study of the
remarkable color variation was made. A short note on the classi-
fication of the gibbons was published. The opportunity to examine
a fresh gorilla’s foot, afforded by the death of a young mountain
gorilla in the Zoological Park, furnished the stimulus to a new study
of the problem of the origin of the human foot (whether or not from
a mechanical type like that found in the great apes). Dr. Remington
Kellogg reexamined and identified the hair seals in the Museum col-
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 103
lection; prepared for publication three reports on cetaceans in the
Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art, the Condon
Museum of the University of Oregon, and the Field Museum of
Natural History; and cooperated with specialists in other groups in
the preparation of a tentative draft of the zones comprising the
California Tertiary.
The curator of birds, Dr. Herbert Friedmann, completed work on
the birds collected by the Smithsonian African expedition under
Theodore Roosevelt, and also the report on the birds collected in
Gaboon by the Garner expedition. He also reported on a large col-
lection of bird bones from St. Lawrence Island, and on three smaller
lots from the mainland of Alaska and from Kodiak Island; and began
work on the remaining parts of Ridgway’s unfinished work ‘‘The
Birds of North and Middle America’? and nearly completed the
compilation of literature for all the groups remaining to be published
on. He also wrote papers relating to the nictitating membrane of
the domestic pigeon, to parasitic cowbirds and cuckoos, to early
observations on North American birds, to racial variations in certain
African shrikes, to the display of Wallace’s bird of paradise, and other
subjects. The associate curator, J. H. Riley, studied and identified
the large collections of Siamese birds sent in by Dr. H. M. Smith
and published descriptions and notes on some of the novelties and
more interesting forms. A. C. Bent, collaborator, completed the
manuscript of the tenth volume of his ‘“‘ Life Histories of North Ameri-
can Birds’, on part of the falconiform birds. Dr. Wetmore pub-
lished on the birds collected by the Parish-Smithsonian expedition
in Cuba and Haiti; described several new forms of fossil birds from
North America; continued his editorial work on Swann’s ‘‘Mono-
eraph of the Accipitres’’, part of which was issued during the year;
and wrote various other articles.
The curator of reptiles and batrachians, Dr. L. Stejneger, worked
on a revision of the Testudinata of North and Middle America;
finished a report on some collections from the Galapagos Islands and
Polynesia; and in collaboration with Dr. Thomas Barbour, of the
Museum of Comparative Zoology, brought out the third edition of
their ‘‘Check List of North American Amphibians and Reptiles.”’
Dr. Doris M. Cochran, assistant curator, completed a report on the
herpetology of Hispaniola and published several descriptive papers
on new species. )
Dr. G. 8. Myers, assistant curator of fishes, nearly completed a
revision of the genera of oviparous cyprinodonts, a group of small
fishes of great value in the destruction of malarial and yellow-fever
mosquitoes in the Tropics. He also began work on the deep-sea
fishes obtained by the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea expedition and
on the fishes from western China collected by Dr. D. C. Graham.
104 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
Dr. J. M. Aldrich, curator of insects, prepared a paper on the
dipterous family Tachinidae of the Patagonian region, based on our
material and that of the British Museum; published several short
papers describing new species from various parts of the world and
including notes on synonymy and nomenclature; made a catalog of
the muscoid flies of the Old World except Europe; and studied the
species of botflies of the genus Cuterebra, in collaboration with
Maj. E. E. Austen, of the British Museum. C. T. Greene worked
on a revision of the genus Anastrepha of the family Trypetidae, of
definite importance because of the discovery of members of the genus
in the southernmost parts of the United States, including Florida
and the Brownsville area in Texas. Foster H. Benjamin completed
a manuscript discussing the classification and biology of the native
Trypetidae of Florida, based on extensive collections made during
the effort of the Department of Agriculture to exterminate the
Mediterranean fruit fly. Dr. Alan Stone undertook a critical revi-
sionary study of the genus Tabanus. Dr. A. G. Béving prepared

Hessian fly. C. F. W. Muesebeck worked on a revision of the
braconid subfamily Euphorinae and progressed in work on the sub-
family Exothecinae and the genus Rogas. Miss Grace A. Sandhouse
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 105
continued studies on the North American Halictinae, particularly on
certain subgenera of the genus Halictus, during which she made
many dissections and from these permanent preparations for the
collection. She completed work on the North American Augochlora
and worked out a synoptic key to the North American Pemphredon.
William Middleton worked on sawflies and prepared descriptions of
some new species.
A. N. Caudell published a report on the Orthoptera of the Pinchot
expedition; carried on some investigational work on neuropteroids,
in the course of which he prepared a description for one new species;

In Hemiptera H. G. Barber carried on investigations in a variety
of groups, including Nearctic and Neotropical Phymatidae, Neo-
‘tropical Coreidae, Notonectidae and Belostomatidae (with the assist-
ance of Prof. H. B. Hungerford), and Halobatinae, in connection
with the Carnegie Plankton expedition, and made considerable prog-
ress with the study of the races of the chinch bug (Elissus leucopterus
Say). P. W. Oman undertook preliminary studies in a number of
genera in both the Cicadellidae and the Fulgoridae. His most
important contribution during the year is an extensive paper on
classification of the North American agallian leafhoppers. Dr. P. W.
Mason continued his study of the aphid tribe Macrosiphina.
In the division of marine invertebrates, Dr. Mary J. Rathbun,
associate in zoology, was actively engaged in the preparation of the
fourth of her series of comprehensive monographs on American crabs.
In addition she determined nearly all the current sendings of recent
Brachyura and fossil Crustacea and submitted for publication a paper
describing seven new species from the Gulf of California. Dr. Waldo
L. Schmitt, curator, published a review of the distribution of the
larger fresh-water shrimps of the United States, and also prepared for
publication the new species in his report on the macruran and ano-
muran Crustacea of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and an account
of two new species of pycnogonids. A revision of the genus Hmenta
was likewise submitted for publication. The assistant curator,
C. R. Shoemaker, completed several studies on amphipods; others he
has in progress, with a view to bringing taxonomic knowledge of these
long neglected Crustacea up to date for the east coast of North
America. The report being prepared by J. O. Maloney, aide, on the
isopods collected in the course of the various expeditions that Capt.

106 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
R. A. Bartlett has made to Greenland in the past several years is
rapidly approaching completion, while his descriptions of two new
species of isopod crustaceans from California appeared in print during
the year. Dr. J. A. Cushman, honorary collaborator, made progress
on further parts of his monographs of the tropical Pacific foraminifera.
In addition to handling a large volume of paleontological material,
he identified various lots of recent foraminifera. Dr. W. H. Longley,
collaborator, spent nearly 4 months abroad, chiefly in London, Paris,
and Berlin, in part in connection with his studies on evolution.
Most of the time of the curator of mollusks, Dr. Paul Bartsch,
was required in planning, equipping, and directing the Johnson-
Smithsonian deep-sea expedition and in caring for the material
obtained. The identification of material sent in for report occupied
the time of the rest of the staff not otherwise taken up by curatorial
duties.
The curator of echinoderms, Austin H. Clark, continued work on
parts 4 and 5 of his monograph of the existing crinoids, with a view
to their completion in the near future, and studied and indentified
a part of the material collected by the Johnson-Smithsonian deep-sea
expedition.
In the division of plants Dr. W. R. Maxon, associate curator,
carried on studies of tropical American ferns; E. P. Killip, associate
curator, continued work on a monograph of the American species of
Passifloraceae, besides studies of certain genera of Urticaceae and
Boraginaceae; E. C. Leonard, assistant curator, studied West Indian
flora; C. V. Morton, aide, investigated several tropical American
families of phanerogams, especially the Solanaceae; and E. H. Walker,
aide, practically finished a revision of Chinese Myrsinaceae, besides
carrying on bibliographic work. Here may be mentioned also the
study by Mr. Killip of a series of about 3,600 duplicate specimens of
the historic Mutis Herbarium received from the Jardin Botanico,
Madrid, through his active interest. The Mutis collection, made in
Colombia between 1760 and 1808, contains specimens upon which
many early species were proposed. In return for the valuable dupli-.
cates sent to this Institution, Mr. Killip has undertaken to identify
the specimens, and to date has reported upon about 2,000 of the
3,600 received. | 5
DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS
Duplicate specimens distributed to museums, high schools, colleges,
and similar institutions aggregated 1,351 specimens and 43,578
exchanges were sent out, of which 1,073 were zoological specimens.
The 42,505 plants distributed went to 104 institutions and corre-
spondents, of which 46 were in the United States, and 58 in 22 countries
abroad.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 107
NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DEPARTMENT
The number of specimens under the department of biology, so far
as has been ascertained by count and estimate, is now more than
10,800,000. The actual number is probably much greater, since
several collections, as the corals, have not been included, nor does the
number of plants given below include duplicates and unmounted
material of the lower cryptogams. In several of the divisions, such
as those of marine invertebrates and mollusks, lots consisting of
minute organisms are frequently counted as single specimens though
they may contain hundreds or even thousands of individuals, the
enumeration of which would serve no useful purpose.

REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY
(Ray S. Basster, Head Curator)
The past year was notable for the quantity and value of geological
material acquired, particularly in the mineralogical division, where
several endowment funds were used rather freely to take advantage of
favorable market conditions. In quality of specimens acquired
through field work and exchange, this has been the most outstanding
year in the history of the division of vertebrate paleontology. Ex-
plorations were undertaken in both of the paleontological divisions
and in the mineralogical division, the latter under the auspices of the
Canfield fund. All resulted in the acquisition of desirable material
both for exhibition and study.
ACCESSIONS
In both specimens and accessions the aggregate is greater than last
year, numbering 255 accessions with an estimated total of 35,555
specimens. The number for the various divisions is as follows:
Mineralogy and petrology, 100 accessions, 728 specimens; geology,
systematic and applied, 33 accessions, 706 specimens; stratigraphic
paleontology, 92 accessions, 33,805 specimens; vertebrate paleontol-
ogy, 30 accessions, 316 specimens.
The year’s accessions include the following minerals not previously
represented: Alkansul, alleghanyite, ardealite, bianchite (type),
corvusite (type), galaxite, leucophosphite, minyulite, oxykertschenite,
pisekite, rilandite (type), rosickyite, and tuhualite.
There were 31 accessions to the Roebling collection through the
income from the Roebling fund, totaling 114 specimens. Perhaps the
finest item is a 2%-pound pink spodumene (kunzite) of good crystal
form and almost flawless. Four fine black opals from Lightning
Ridge, New South Wales, are partly polished to show the wonderful
fire that makes these Australian stones most highly prized of all
opals. Two 1.7-carat diamonds were added to the American series,
1 from Huntsville, Tex., and 1 from the gold washings of Brown
County, Ind. A fine cinnamon-brown crystal of topaz from Burma
weighs 2% pounds. A huge mass of native copper from the Lake
Superior region shows numerous unusually large and well-formed
crystals. Other noteworthy additions are a specimen of quartz
with attached crystals of euclase and topaz from Brazil; 3 speci-
mens of California gold showing unusually fine crystals; a beautiful
108
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 109
erystal of pink and green tourmaline from Madagascar; and 2 large
loose crystals of the rare silicate euclase from Brazil. Through the
interest of Gilbert LaBine, discoverer of the rich radium deposits at
Great Bear Lake, Canada, a 75-pound mass of the radium ore pitch-
blende, crusted with colorful alteration products, and a rich mass of
native silver from the same locality, were added.
Several fine-cut gems were acquired through the Roebling fund,
including a rare Brazilian rose-red topaz of 18 carats, a Madagascar
ruby tourmaline of 30 carats, a flawless Brazilian pink tourmaline of
62 carats, and an unusual pink amethyst of 49 carats.
To the Canfield collection through the Canfield fund came 13
accessions totaling 235 specimens. The outstanding one comprises
three masses of crystallized gold from Breckenridge, Colo., the largest
being a slab of fine mossy leaf gold weighing 22.6 troy ounces. A
large group of brilliant azurite crystals from Aranzazu, Zacatecas,
Mexico, was obtained through the interest of Samuel Sokobin,
American consul at Saltillo, Coahuila. Other notable specimens are
a group of azurite crystals; a crystal of cerussite from Tsumeb,
Southwest Africa; the copper oxychloride atacamite from Chile; a rare
phosphate of iron, strengite, and the phosphate of lead, pyromorphite,
in unusually large crystals, both from Germany; a group of large and
brilliant crystals of tin oxide, cassiterite, on a white quartz crystal
base, from New South Wales; a huge crystal of pyrite from Arizona;
and a rich example of the rare manganese silicate ganophyllite from
Franklin, N.J. Over 200 Bolivian minerals, including excellent
crystallized cassiterite, ferberite, and bismuthinite also were acquired.
The finest stone added to the Isaac Lea coliection, through the
Frances Lea Chamberlain fund, is a flawless golden beryl] of fine color
from Madagascar, weighing 46 carats. Also, 2 red tourmalines from
Madagascar, an engraved emerald of 11 carats, an old carving in
Burmese amber, a rare ruby-red feldspar, and 2 unusually deep-
colored citrine quartzes were added.
Other additions to the gem collection include 3 cabochons of
white grossularite garnets, 3 of Whitby jet, 3 of amazonstone, and
several pieces of jaspar. The Oregon Agate and Mineral Society
contributed an unusual cut agate showing iridescent rainbow colors;
_ Martin L. Ehrmann presented a dish of yellow precious serpentine;
and John H. Willing 3 gold stickpins fashioned as a pick, a shovel,
and a pan, stated to have been made in 1855 and worn by early
California gold miners.
A huge quartz geode, almost 3 feet in diameter and with a crystal-
lined cavity 18 inches deep, from Keokuk, Iowa, was presented by
William M. Thomas and his son, Beverly Thomas. Mr. Thomas,
a veteran geode collector, states that this is the finest geode he has
ever seen. W. EH. Lockhart gave a huge slab of amazonstone, meas-
110 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
uring about 3 feet square, from Colorado. The following persons
likewise added unusually fine material to the collection: Ernest
Schernikow, a slab of precious opal from Honduras; F. F. Bradley,
a fine group of celestite crystals from Clay Center, Ohio; Mark Bandy,
a large specimen of the rare iron sulphate quetenite, from Chile;
Boodle Lane, a specimen of galena showing parallel growth, and John
C. Wells, specimens of new phosphate minerals from the Black Hills.
Twenty-two specimens, including 14 falls new to the collection,
were added to the meteorite series. Two of exceptional interest
are from Meteor Crater, Canyon Diablo, Ariz., one a complete
individual weighing 1,011 pounds, one of the largest masses recovered
at this famous crater, the other the mass from which were obtained
the first diamonds found in a meteorite. Another example is the
largest individual of a shower that fell at Archie, Mo., on August
10, 1932, during the Perseid meteor shower. This is the second
known instance of the fall of a meteorite during a meteor shower.
Other meteorite accessions are one half (23% pounds) of the Altonah,
Utah, fall; Beardsley, Kans. (945 grams); Bear Lodge, Wyo. (3,120
grams); Bencubbin, Australia (242 grams); Coya Norte, Chile (16
pounds 10 ounces); Henbury, Australia (81 pounds); Huizopa,
Mexico (2,774 grams); Melrose, N.Mex. (990 grams); Nagy Vazsony,
Hungary (36 grams); New Almelo, N. Mex. (1,550 grams); Oroville,
Calif. (262 grams); Pinon, N.Mex. (1,410 grams); and Tlacatopec,
Mexico (2,430 grams), acquired through exchanges and gifts.
The United States Geological Survey transferred several described
sets of rocks and ores, the following districts being represented:
Ellijay quadrangle, North Carolina; eastern Oregon; Squaw Creek,
Silver Peak, and Antonio districts, Oregon; and southwestern Idaho.
Through the interest of Dr. Josiah Bridge, the Museum obtained from
Ramie Inman two large blocks of a handsome diabase porphyry from
Fredericktown, Mo. Dr. Robert W. Sayles presented two large
exhibition blocks of a glacial conglomerate, the Squantum tillite,
and Dr. Tom Barth collected two large exhibition blocks of gneiss
in Norway.
The outstanding accessions in economic geology are as follows:
A pegmatite dike from Ohio City, Colo., containing large sheets of
lepidolite mica obtained through E. B. Eckel, of the United States .
Geological Survey, from Messrs. Werner and Disberger, of Ohio
City; a 600-pound mass of gold ore from the Homestake Mining Co.,
Lead, S.Dak.; two large and colorful potash ores, sylvinite and
carnallite, from the Minas de Potasa de Suria, Spain; several speci-
mens of halite and related minerals from Hallstatt, Austria, sent by
Bergrat Karl Krieger; a series of copper ores and minerals including
some large specimens from Butte, Mont., presented by A. L. Bigley
and A. E. Blair, of the Anaconda Copper Co.; and a number of
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM ast
specially selected Bisbee copper ores from William P. Crawford, of
Bisbee, Ariz. Frank L. Hess, honorary custodian of rare metals,
continued his interest by adding over 50 specimens of rare metal
ores and minerals from Canada, the Kola Peninsula, Karelin, Brazil,
and other districts.
Several notable accessions came to the division of stratigraphic
paleontology: 26 exchanges arranged largely by the assistant curator
to fill gaps in the brachiopod series were received. The British
Museum and Dr. R. Kozlowski at Warsaw and Dr. A. Hadding at
Lund supplied fine Jurassic and Cretaceous brachiopods. The
National Museum at Melbourne and the Dominion Museum at
Wellington furnished two fine collections from the Tertiary of the
Australian realm, and the Paleontological Institute of Vienna a
small collection of rare Triassic forms. From Harvard University
was obtained a large suite from the Middle Paleozoic of Bohemia.
Collections from the Devonian were furnished by Dr. A. Opik in
Estonia and by the Muséum Royal d’Histoire Naturelle de Belgique,
Brussels. Finally, two sizable lots from the Universities of Okla-
homa and New Mexico placed in our collection a more adequate
representation of Upper Paleozoic brachiopods from these States.
Among the other exchanges were two lots of Bohemian fossils
from Charles University, Prague; an excellent representation of
the Norwegian Cambrian from Oslo; a series of topotypes of Car-
boniferous fossils from the University of London; and an interesting
series from the University of Adelaide. Dr. H. Justin Roddy again
furnished an extraordinary collection from the Lower Cambrian of
the Lancaster region in Pennsylvania.
Several valuable collections were presented, most notable being
the fifth shipment of the private collection of Dr. A. F. Foerste,
numbering some 10,000 specimens of invertebrate fossils of which
over 1,000 are types. Particularly notable is the valuable acqui-
sition of several fine fossil starfishes collected by the late Dr. Albert
Perry Brigham, of Colgate University, and presented by Mrs. Brig-
ham and Mr. and Mrs. L. V. Roth. Dr. J. Brookes Knight, of Yale
University, gave about 125 brachiopods from the Pennsylvanian of
Missouri, and Prof. G. M. Kay, at Columbia University, a collection of
Trenton brachiopods. Through the interest of Dr. Mary J. Rathbun,
six lots of fossil crustaceans were donated, among which those fur-
nished by Dr. Hubert G. Schenck, of Stanford University, and some
pinnotherid crabs, including types, gift of E. W. Galliher, Pacific
Grove, Calif., were of most importance.
Among other gifts were a collection of Pennsylvanian gastropods
from J. Brookes Knight, of Yale University; a small lot of Pennsyl-
vanian fossils from Ralph H. King, University of Texas; a large exhi-
bition slab crowded with the gastropod Lecanospira found in Virginia
Li? ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
by Dr. A. A. L. Mathews, Oberlin College; examples of the fresh-
water limestone crowded with fossils, used to build the new Mormon
Church in Washington, secured through the builders; and finally a
valuable lot of Tennessee Cambrian fossils collected by Prof. George |
M. Hall, University of Tennessee.
The Springer fund purchased the important Keyte collection of
Paleozic fossil crmoids from Colorado. The assistant curator during
his field expedition obtained 10,000 to 15,000 fossils in Gaspe and
New York. ‘These supplied many important specimens for the bio-
logic and stratigraphic series and also needed material for exchange.
A trip into the Ohio Valley by the head curator also furnished a
valuable lot of late Paleozoic fossils.
Of the eight accessions of fossil plants, mention may be made
of those received from Prof. Ralph Chaney, University of California,
which contain many counterparts of types described in several
papers. Prof. G. R. Wieland, of Yale, donated two examples of the
interesting fern Tempskya, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural
History gave some Pleistocene plants excellently preserved in asphalt.
Material resulting from the field expedition of 1932 is of first
importance in the division of vertebrate paleontology, especially
benefiting the mammalian collections. Specimens worthy of especial
mention are: Much of the skeleton of a hawklike bird, of which the
skull, lower jaw, pelvis, sternum, and other bones are present, un-
questionably the most perfect skeleton of a bird yet collected from
the Oligocene of North America; a skull and skeletal parts of Husmilus,
a rare saber-toothed cat of which only three or four specimens were
previously known; two articulated skeletons of Mesohippus; two
articulated skeletons of Merycoidodon; one skeleton each of Lep-.
tomeryx and Ischyromys; 120 skulls, many partial skeletons, articu-
lated limbs and feet, in all representing more than 20 genera of verte-
brates. Some forms new to science will probably be found when a
study is made of these materials.
Through exchanges arranged with various institutions, the division
obtained a number of specimens of outstanding merit. From the
American Museum of Natural History came a mountable skeleton
of Moropus, a rare mammal from the Miocene of Nebraska, and a
skeleton of the giant reptile Gorgosaurus libratus from the Upper
Cretaceous of Canada. The former has all the broken and missing —
bones restored so that the skeleton is ready for mounting. Both
genera were previously unrepresented in our collections. The Los
Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art furnished a mountable
composite skeleton of Equus occidentalis, from the famous Rancho La
Brea asphalt deposits; and the Colorado Museum of Natural History,
Denver, a composite skeleton of the Oligocene rhinoceros, T’rigomas
osbormi. From the Royal Ontario Paleontological Museum were
®
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 113
obtained two duck-billed dinosaur skulls (Edmontosaurus and Prosau-
rolophus), both new in the collections, and from the National Museum
of South Africa four skulls and limb and foot bones of Lystrosaurus
and Dicynodon, extinct reptiles from the Triassic. Remains of these
genera are rarely found in paleontological collections of North America.
A beautifully preserved skull of Hquus alaskae Hay from Point Barrow,
Alaska, was collected for the Museum by James A. Ford. A fossil
frog skeleton from the Miocene of Nevada, the most perfect example
of an extinct frog yet found on this continent, was presented by R. M.
Catlin. A skull of a large cetacean from California, presented by
Dr. A. P. Ousdal, forms a valued addition to the series of cetacean
remains. By purchase from George F. Sternberg a beautiful example
of the extinct fish Ichthyodectes hamatus was obtained, and similarly
the mosasaur series was enriched by a mountable skeleton of the large
sea lizard Platecarpus.
INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS
A rearrangement of the systematic mineral collection, reported last
year as under way, was completed, and much new and striking mate-
rial from the Roebling and Canfield collections was incorporated.
The 2,892 specimens of this series include 837 distinct mineral species
and comprise high-quality material only. The new arrangement
permitted the introduction of some new exhibits in refractories, lith-
ium, beryllium and rare-earth ores. Several large specimens of ores
from important mining districts were installed on new bases. Five
large meteorites, previously exhibited on individual bases, were rein-
stalled on a single long base to harmonize with previous installations.
Some striking exhibits on individual pedestals include a large geode
from Lowa fitted with interior lighting, radium ore from Canada,
and a group of carved corals.
The head curator prepared a new set of slides on geological subjects
for the stereomotorgraph, assembled a set of small, polished samples of
foreign building stones, both ancient and modern, and prepared
various sets of Cenozoic and recent bryozoans for exchange with the
British Museum, in the course of which many specimens were identi-
fied and added to the collections. He also continued building up a
' library of pamphlets on general geology, stratigraphy, and invertebrate
paleontology.
In revising the exhibition series of ores it was found necessary to
expand the study series to accommodate material removed from
exhibition, during which the classification, cataloging, and distribution
of the important collection of rare metal ores assembled during many
years’ collecting by Frank L. Hess were completed by the assistant
curator. This is probably the finest collection of rare-metal ores
extant.
114 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
Dr. W. F. Foshag, assisted by James Benn, selected material for an
exhibit illustrating the fluorescence of minerals under ultraviolet
light. Since only an occasional specimen shows a satisfactory degree
of fluorescence, it was necessary to examine hundreds of samples
before the best possible effect could be achieved. A satisfactory
lighting system was devised by L. B. Clark, of the Division of
Radiation and Organisms.
The head curator completed the preparation and installation of the
biologic series of fossil plants, a case illustrating the geology of a
coral island, one showing various types of geological structures,
another with imitative forms of fossils, and one each of the peculiar
extinct merostome crustaceans and unusual cephalopods. He like-
wise installed on a single exhibition base large, showy pease of
various kinds of conglomerates and glacial boulder clays.
Dr. C. E. Resser, with the help of Dr. Josiah Bridge, assembled an
exhibit illustrating the life of the Ozarkian and Canadian periods,
thus filling a long-existing gap. In cooperation with Dr. Roland
Brown and Dr. C. B. Read, of the United States Geological Survey,
available material also was assembled to illustrate fossilized fruits and
flowers.
Dr. G. A. Cooper placed 30 lithologic samples in the stratigraphic
exhibition series, revised the exhibit of stromatopores, and, at the
close of the year, went over the entire exhibition series in preparation
for the International Geological Congress. Dr. C. B. Read continued
his voluntary rearrangement of the Lacoe plants. Dr. Charles Butts
arranged his extensive collections of Paleozoic fossils so that they are
readily available.
Following her retirement from the Government service at the end of
December 1932, Miss Margaret Moodey was appointed, under the
Springer fund, to take up the long-delayed work of cataloging the
unrivaled Springer collection of echinoderms. Two months were
spent in bibliographic work and 4 months in checking and cataloging.
At the end of the year, 8 families of the Camerata, comprising 115
standard drawers, were completed.
The exhibition series in vertebrate paleontology was increased by
the addition of a 5-foot skeleton of Ichthyodectes hamatus, skulls of
Edmontosaurus regalis Lambe and Prosaurolophus maximus Brown;
skull and lower jaws of Hyrachodon and a skull of Ovibos.
Assistant Curator C. L. Gazin continued his rearrangement of the
mammal collection. The Cumberland Cave collection, consisting of
several hundred specimens, is now completely cataloged, labeled, and
arranged in standard trays; the Plesippus materials have been assorted
and, with the exception of the skulls, assembled as a single unit;
the Cook collection from Idaho and the Gidley collection from Florida
were assorted, labeled, and many of the specimens cataloged. Dr.
Gazin also has identified many of the Bridger specimens.

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH
By members of the staff—The head curator completed the pre-
liminary study and illustrations of the Hederellidae, a new group
of fossil Bryozoa; brought up to date his bibliographic index of
Paleozoic Ostracoda, being published by the Geological Society of
America; prepared an address on the development of invertebrate
paleontology in America; and forwarded for publication a mono-
eraph of the Tertiary Bryozoa of Australia, prepared in collaboration
with the late Ferdinand Canu.
Dr. W. F. Foshag completed investigations on the rare minerals
searlesite, bakerite, ganophyllite, and sulfohalite and continued
work on the borate minerals of the West, in which it was necessary
to analyze a number of marls. Several doubtful minerals were
studied and their true nature determined.
EK. P. Henderson announced two new mineral species, corvusite
and rilandite, and nearly completed work on two other new species.
Many partial analyses were made for identification, and some mate-
rial was found worthy of more detailed examination.
Dr. C. E. Resser assisted R. Endo in preparing a paper on the
Cambrian of Manchuria. He completed a paper presenting a pre-
liminary generalized time scale for the Cambrian and began a de-
scription of the fossils from the Olenellus zone in the Appalachians.
These last papers were presented at the Boston meeting of the
Geological Society of America.
Dr. G. A. Cooper prepared a preliminary paper on the results of
his field work in eastern New York and another, written jointly
with Dr. Lawrence Whitcomb, of Lehigh University, describing a
new genus of brachiopod. |
Dr. E. O. Ulrich continued his studies of early Paleozoic faunas.
A grant from the Geological Society of America made possible the
temporary employment of Dr. H. 8. Ladd, who since February was
engaged in labeling and photographing fossils and in organizing
materials so that Dr. Ulrich’s many uncompleted manuscripts, in-
cluding joint papers with Drs. Foerste, Cooper, Bridge, and others,
may finally be printed.
Dr. A. F. Foerste continued his cephalopod studies, unearthing
much important information. He will soon reach the point when the
cephalopod series can be generally overhauled and classified.
C. W. Gilmore completed a manuscript describing dinosaurian
remains from the Cretaceous of Mongolia, which has been sent to
the American Museum of Natural History for publication. <A
beginning was made on a study of turtle specimens from Mongolia
for that institution. This will complete our part of the cooperative
arrangement between the two institutions whereby for work done
116 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
on the Mongolian fauna, Dr. G. G. Simpson will study and describe
the Museum’s collection of Paleocene mammals.
Dr. C. L. Gazin completed his extended study of the Cumberland
Cave Pleistocene fauna and submitted it for publication. Two
papers, ‘““A New Shrew from the Upper Pliocene of Idaho” and
“The Status of the Extinct American Eland” were published, and
a manuscript, ‘‘New Telids from the Upper Pliocene of Idaho” was
submitted for publication. Some progress was made on his study
of the Plesippus materials, as well as a beginning in the study of
other portions of the Idaho collections, particularly the mustelids
and lagomorphs.
Dr. Remington Kellogg, as in previous years, continued his re-
searches on the cetacean collection, this past year being more par-
ticularly applied to the Penclodout?
Research by outside investigators aided by Museum sc Doalae
During the year 1,767 specimens were lent for study, and 463 lots
of material were received for examination and report.
In the paleontological division, Dr. David White was engaged on
a description of the Pottsville flora of Illinois. Dr. R. W. Brown
continued the study of the Fort Union flora and wrote papers de-
scribing the flora of the Miocene of the Blue Mountains, Oreg., and
of the Salmon, Idaho, region. Jointly with Dr. C. B. Read, he
nearly completed a revision of the Cretaceous fern genus Tempskya.
Dr. Read prepared papers on the floras in the Mosquito Range,
Colo., and in the New Providence shale and on Trichopitys. Dr.
L. W. Stephenson was engaged in a study of the Navarro fauna of
the Texas Cretaceous, and Dr. Edwin Kirk continued his studies
on crinoids and completed several papers.
Dr. T. Kobayashi remained here throughout the year continuing
his studies of Korean and Manchurian fossils. Much new informa-
tion of critical importance is constantly coming to light in his studies.
Abbé Georges Le Maitre, the Belgian scientist, studied the mete-
orite collection; Dr. M. K. Elias, of the Kansas State Geological
Survey, spent some weeks studying Carboniferous and Tertiary
plants. A. L. Morrow, of Yale University, R. W. Imlay, of the
University of Michigan, and Prof. H. A. Meyerhoff, of Smith Col-
lege, studied the Mesozoic collections; Dr. A. R. Barwick, of Catholic
University, studied the invertebrate fossil collection in general; Dr.
J. A. Cushman the foraminifera; Dr. Cecil Kindle, of the College of
the City of New York, and Dr. Lawrence Whitcomb, of Lehigh
University, the Paleozoic invertebrates; and Prof. P. E. Raymond
and Henry C. Stetson, of Harvard University, spent a few days
working on certain Burgess shale specimens.
Dr. George G. Simpson made considerable progress in his study
of the Paleocene mammal collection. <A locality map, printed as a
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM LZ
result of his field trip to Montana for the Museum this past sum-
mer, adds greatly to the value of the collection in definitely locating
all the specimens both geologically and geographically. Dr. R. S.
Lull, director of the Peabody Museum of Natural History, utilized
the horned dinosaur collections in connection with his monographic
revision of the Ceratopsian dinosauria. Barnum Brown, of the
American Museum of Natural History, likewise made use of the col-
lections in connection with his study of the armored dinosauria.
Assistance to Government bureaus and private indiwiduals.—Mineral-
ogical material was furnished to members of the Geological Survey,
the Department of Agriculture, and the Geophysical Laboratory, and
Dr. Resser continued his services to the Geological Survey as
adviser on Cambrian questions. Requests from Prof. George M.
Hall, of the University of Tennessee, for identification of age and
species in Cambrian collections necessitated considerable study of the
Nolichucky fossils. Thereby, for the first time, definite information
was obtained regarding the faunal characteristics of this widespread
southern Appalachian formation. A large series of highly important
Cambrian fossils was obtained by the Princeton Summer School, at
Red Lodge, Mont., and forwarded to the Museum for preliminary
identification.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS
The following distribution of geological specimens was made:
Gifts, 3,456 specimens; exchanges, 2,278; loans for study, 1,767. As
transfers to other Government bureaus, 21 specimens were sent.

REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES
(Cart W. Mitman, Head Curator)
For the first 2 months of the year, following the retirement of
W. deC. Ravenel on June 30, 1932, the department of arts and
industries was administered by J. E. Graf, associate director. On
September 6, 1932, the office of head curator was established and an
administrative set-up created similar to that of the natural science
departments of the Museum. C. W. Mitman, who had spent 3
months of the summer in a general survey of technical, industrial,
and science museums of western Europe, was advanced from the
position of curator of engineering to the new position; and Frank A.
Taylor was promoted from assistant curator of engineering to curator.
« ACCESSIONS FOR THE YEAR
Valuable historical specimens of textiles, engineering, and graphic
arts that never would have come to light in boom times were brought
to the department’s attention during the year and acquired when
possible. Slack business, on the other hand, practically prevented the
acquisition of new industrial exhibits, but permitted many who had
cooperated with the Museum in the past to renew their exhibits.
Specimens added to the department’s collections during 1933
totaled 4,261, about one third more than in 1932. ‘The distribution
of these among the divisions and sections was as follows: Engineering,
312; textiles, 708; organic chemistry, 764; wood technology, 365;
foods, 2; history of agriculture, 252; medicine, 425; graphic arts,
including photography, 1,433.
Engineering.—The 312 specimens included in the 82 accessions
of this division were assigned to the sections as follows: Aeronautics,
174; mechanical technology, 130; mineral technology, 8.
In aeronautics, the most prominent object acquired was the
gondola, or car, of the Pilgrim, the first dirigible designed for inflation
with helium gas. It is complete with the Laurence 3-cylinder radial
engine and the 4-blade metal propeller used with it, and was presented
by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
The collection pertaining to the early history of balloons was
augmented by the gift of Miss Emma Durant, of New York City, of a
number of original illustrations and records describing the work of
her father, Charles F. Durant, the first professional American aero-
naut, who made his first ascent from Castle Garden, New York City,
#118
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 119
in 1830. Two structural sections from the airships Shenandoah and
Akron, showing two forms of trusses, came from Howard Minker,
Washington, D.C., and the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., respectively.
To the collection of aircraft engines the Pratt & Whitney Co.,
Hartford, Conn., added a sectioned operating example of their
‘““Wasp’’ engine. Seven airship propellers were transferred from the
War Department; an adjustable metal airplane propeller of 1914 was
presented by Inglis M. Uppercu, Keyport, N.J.; and a modern hollow
steel blade from a Dicks propeller was given by the Pittsburgh Screw
& Bolt Corporation. A departure from the usual form of lift and
propulsion is illustrated by a wind-tunnel model of a rotary airfoil,
presented by. its inventor, I. B. Laskowitz, Brooklyn, N.Y.
Although several full-size airplanes were offered to the Museum
during the year, none could be accepted because of limited space.
To the collection of airplane models, however, many new types were
added, including a beautifully constructed miniature of a ‘‘Travelair”’
biplane of 1930, one eighth size and half skeletonized to show the
construction. It is one of the finest models in the collection and was
loaned by its maker, Herbert Atkinson, of New Bedford, Mass. The
acquisition of a Curtiss pusher model of the 1908 type and a Curtiss
‘‘Hawk”’ model of 1928, both made to the same scale, permits an
interesting contrast of airplane design over a 20-year period. These
models were received from Edward Reeves and Richard Hooper,
respectively, of Washington, D.C. Another model received from
Mr. Reeves illustrates the old ‘‘ Antoinette” type, a French mono-
plane of 1909, which made remarkable flights in the early days of
aviation. A German World War bombing airplane is represented
by a model of a “‘Gotha’’, made and presented by Isaac H. Henry,
of Easton, Md. Modern military types are shown by a ‘‘Condor”’
_ bomber model from Harris Taylor, Clarendon, Va.; a Boeing low-wing
monoplane model from Robert McGregor, Clarksburg, W.Va.; and
a Navy Vought ‘Corsair’? model made by Edwin Geigan, Washing-
ton, D.C., and received from Miss KE. M. Luers, Bowie, Md. The
series of models illustrating the winners of the famed Schneider
trophy for seaplanes was increased by a miniature of the Supermarine
S-6-B, which won the trophy in 1931 at a speed of 340 miles an hour.
The model was made and presented by Ivan Lettner, Anacostia, D.C.
With the assistance of the War Department, A. G. Spalding Co.,
New York, Sternheimer Bros., Richmond, Va., and the Transcon-
tinental and Western Air, Inc., Kansas City, Mo., a display of fliers’
helmets was prepared showing the evolution of pilots’ headgear from
the old crash helmets of the early days to the uniform cap of the
modern transport pilot.
The Beverly Hills (Calif.) Chamber of Commerce presented the
parachute with which the flier Rodman Law made a demonstration
120 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
jump from an airplane in 1912, one of the first instances of its kind.
This accession provides the Museum with an example of the old
“bundle” type of parachute, antedating the several pack types
already exhibited.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh added to his previous gift of the Spirit
of St. Lowis the maps and personal equipment that he carried during
his Pan American flight of 1927-28. Much of this material was in-
tended for emergency use in event of a forced landing in the jungles
of Central America.
The largest single group of accessions in the section of mechanical
technology was in the class of material relating to land transportation.
The sole full-size vehicle added this year was a Columbia electric
buggy of about 1903-6, the gift of Mrs. Sewell M. Johnson, Wash-
ington, D.C. This vehicle is a well-preserved example of the light
electric automobile that in its day was so much more dependable
than the unperfected gasoline automobile that it was the choice of
conservative and professional people. Other automotive material
included the steam engine built by the Mason Regulator Co. in 1897
for the first Stanley steam automobile; and a Stanley steam auto-
mobile engine of about 1923 from L. J. Hathaway, Cherrydale, Va.
The railroad and locomotive collection was enhanced by the
addition of three models of English locomotives of about 25 years
ago. They are the gift of Frank A. Wardlaw, Jr., Inspiration, Ariz.,
and Frank A. Wardlaw, New York City, and include the Locomotive
Greyhound of the L. & N.W. Ry. Co., and the Locomotive 146 of the
F.C.O. Rr. (Argentine) of 1905, which were made by Mr. Wardlaw,
Sr.; and the Caledonian Railroad Co.’s Locomotive 903. ‘These
locomotives exhibit many features foreign to American practice not
heretofore shown in the collections. An unusual railroad item was a —
Japanese drawing in color of a Norris locomotive, tender, and car of
1853, the gift of C. P. Clausen, Washington, D.C. The Japanese
date of the picture indicates that it was made about 1853 and con-
sequently only a year or two after Commodore Perry negotiated the
treaty with Japan. Miss Martha Hopkins, Damariscotta, Maine,
presented an old single-ox yoke, a type not many of which are known
to exist.
The watercraft collection received only one addition during the
year—a nicely executed model of the champion ice yacht Debutante
III, presented by John D. Buckstaff, Oshkosh, Wis., and Douglas
Van Dyke, Milwaukee, Wis. The original is the present holder of the
Stuart trophy and the world’s record over a 20-mile triangular course.
In the class of electrical material the additions to the collection of
incandescent lamps are of considerable interest. Frank A. Wardlaw,
New York City, an associate of Thomas A. Edison, presented 2
originals of the Edison paper horseshoe filament lamp of 1879, 2
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM joey
of the bamboo filament lamps of 1880, and an original wooden-screw
socket for each type. The paper filament lamps, one of which is
intact, are of the first type made after the successful experimental
lamp of October 1879, and the bamboo filament lamps, one of which
is intact, are the first commercial type. Donald IF. Poole, Washing-
ton, D.C., presented two early Maxim lamps with sockets. A more
modern note in electric lighting is represented in a display panel of
eight rare gas discharge tubes, the gift of the Air Reduction Sales
Co., New York City. Two fans received show early stages in the
development of this electrical appliance. One, made by Leo Daft,
electrical pioneer, and dating from before 1890, is the gift of Mrs.
Matilda Daft Williams, Albany, N.Y. Itis small, with an unguarded
fan wheel mounted on the shaft of a small motor with long vertical
field coils. The other is a Holtzer Cabot fan of about 1900, in which
the earlier type of motor and same general arrangement are still
evident though dressed up in a heavy cast-iron base and grilled
housing. This fan is the gift of Mrs. Mae I. English and Mrs. L. F
Speich, Washington, D.C.
A Merritt typewriter of about 1890, one of the first few machines
made by the Merritt Typewriter Co., Springfield, Mass., and a com-
mercial form of a machine formerly represented in the collection by a
Patent Office model only, was the only addition to the typewriter
collection. It was presented by C. C. Merritt, nephew of the inventor.
Two Edison phonographs were added to the collections. One, an
original of the tin-foil record type, was presented by Frank A. Ward-
law; the other, a nicely preserved ‘‘Amberola-50” of about 1915, the
eift of Clarence Beyer, Baltimore, Md., represents the final develop-
ment of the wax-cylinder record type, and is complete with a group of
select records.
_ Among the additions to the collection of surveying and astronomical
instruments is the Herschelian reflecting telescope made by Amasa
Holcomb, of Southwick, Mass., about 1835. The reflector, about 8
inches in diameter and having a focal length of about 9 feet, is of
speculum metal and has a remarkably well preserved surface. It is
the gift of Mrs. Grace KE. Holcomb Steere and Mrs. Eva C. Holcomb
Storey, Southwick, Mass., who also presented an astronomical
transit and instrument tripod by the same maker. From the War
Department came an interesting form of large reconnoitering tele-
scope and an astronomical transit, both about 60 years old.
Among the watches added to the timekeeping collections is an
English silver case watch dated 1794, the movement of which is
marked ‘‘ Effingham Embree, New York.’’? Not many watches in the
collection dating from 1800 carry the names of American makers or
importers. It is the gift of Mrs. Gertrude O. S. Cleveland, Quine-
baug, Conn. Clocks added to the collection include two tall case
16528—33——_9
122 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
clocks of the early nineteenth century, one the gift of Mrs. Daniel
Gardner, Newburgh, N.Y., the other of Mrs. James R. Van Horn,
Washington, D.C. An early electric master-clock system, which was
installed in the Arts and Industries Building when erected and
which was removed during the past year, was added to the collection
for its technical interest.
To the section of mineral technology the Carborundum Co.,
Niagara Falls, N.Y., gave a model of a carborundum grain sifter as an
addition to the splendid models that the same company presented
last year to show the processes of manufacture of carborundum abra-
sive products. A group of lathe tools made with ‘‘Firthite” alloy
cutting edge inserts, a small piece of ‘‘Firthite”’, and a wire drawing
die with a ‘‘Firthaloy” insert were added to the metallurgy exhibits
by L. Gerald Firth, McKeesport, Pa. Philip McKenna, Latrobe,
Pa., presented a lathe tool with a ‘‘ Vascaloy”’ insert.
Textiles, organic chemistry, wood technology, foods, history of agri-
culture, and medicine.—Because of the increasing interest of the public
in early American textiles, efforts were made to carry out the plans
proposed in last year’s report for special exhibitions of home handi-
crafts in textiles. Mrs. William 8. Corby, Chevy Chase, Md., loaned
for this purpose part of her collection of early American coverlets.
These examples of a household industry, which began in Colonial days
and continued until the Civil War, were collected in Virginia, Massa-
chusetts, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Maryland, and Florida. Other
coverlets for this exhibition were loaned by Capt. James A. Stader,
Neosho, Mo., and C. H. Popenoe, Silver Spring, Md.
Beautiful examples of artistic needlework, made before the days of
the sewing machine, were received as gifts as follows: From Mrs.
Kate Vinson a sulk applique quilt designed and made in Baltimore,
Md., 1845, by the donor’s mother; from Miss Isabelle M. Erwin and
Miss Mildred A. Erwin a white quilted counterpane and a cotton
patchwork quilt, pieced in ‘‘Irish Chain” pattern, both made in South
Carolina in 1850; and from Mrs. Mary E. Lyddane linen samplers
made in 1804 and 1833. Mrs. Laurence Stabler, Alexandria, Va.,
loaned two appliqued cotton quilts, one in ‘‘Tree of Life” design
made in 1802, the other in 1830; and a small linen sampler worked in
1733. Mrs. Daniel Gardner added 27 miscellaneous textile articles.
The Museum is indebted to Miss Susan P. Keech for a cotton coverlet,
made of a monochrome copper cylinder print—the so-called ‘‘ Toile de
la Bastile’’—which has been in the Keech family of Harford County,
Md., for 70 years or more.
The Cotton-Textile Institute continued its valued cooperation by
the presentation of two series of modern cotton fabrics produced by
American manufacturers. Further additions to the display of sea-
sonal cotton dress goods were made by Galey & Lord, who presented
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 1S
specimens of fancy weave cotton and rayon fabrics. The Celanese
Corporation of America contributed a new series of examples of piece-
dyed dress materials to replace the specimens presented last year.
To the Flatau Fabrics Corporation the Museum is indebted for ex-
amples of warp-printed, novelty silk crepe fabrics, finished by a
special process to give the material a sandy feel when handled. The
cooperation of Sidney Blumenthal & Co. was continued by the gift
of specimens of upholstery and drapery pile fabrics, cloaking and
velvet dress fabrics, and a printed velour bathmat, these to replace
some of the specimens contributed by this firm during the past 19
years.
The Armstrong Cork Co. presented a full series showing the manu-
facture of linoleum and suggestions for the interior decoration of differ-
ent types of rooms; the Standard Textile Products Co. specimens
illustrating the manufacture of wall and table oilcloth and uses to
which these materials may be put; and M. J. Whittall Associates a
series of specimens illustrating the manufacture of wool carpet yarns.
The Universal Winding Co. sent examples of windings of bare and
insulated wires for electrical purposes, which had been wound on
winders of different types.
Through the courtesy of T. A. Keleher, a live exhibit of about 300
half-grown silkworms was set up in the textile hall. They were placed
on shelves in a special glass case, where they were fed fresh mulberry
leaves every few hours until the cocoons were spun, the first week of
June.
Specimens of new rubber products and a historical series illus-
trating the development of rubber pneumatic tires from 1904 to the
present time were contributed by the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co.
The United Shoe Machinery Corporation added to its exhibit a new
series showing a recently perfected shoemaking method.
For the collections pertaining to agricultural history were received
three models of the Cyrus Hall McCormick grain reaper constructed,
one eighth size, according to the specifications of United States
Patents Nos. 3895 and 5335, issued June 21, 1834, January 31, 1845,
and October 23, 1847. The first was the gift of Secretary Abbot; the
others of the McCormick Historical Association, which also presented
three groups of documents, one relating to the development of two
hillside plows, patented by Cyrus Hall McCormick in 1831 and
1833; one to the development of the reaper by Cyrus Hall McCormick;
and one to a threshing machine invented by Robert McCormick in
1834.
An interesting specimen was received from Miss Anna Tiede in
the form of a blank book of veneer cut from western white pine.
The sheets were cut with a slicing knife, but, ingeniously, were not
cut entirely through, just enough wood being left at the back to bind
them. The sheets are not glued at any point.
124 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., collected in Puerto Rico during March and
April 1932 for the section of wood technology 74 woods from a region
heretofore only scantily represented in the collection. ‘These specimens
are backed by herbarium material in the division of plants. The Uni-
versity of Poznan sent a set of 63 samples of the woods of Poland in
exchange fora collection of woods of the United States. At the sug-
gestion of Mr. Miller, E. N. Bancroft, surveyor general of Kingston,
Jamaica, collected for the Museum wood samples of Jamaican trees,
most of which are backed by herbarium material in the division of
plants. Most of these are generous trunk sections.
Other woods received from various contributors for the study
collection comprise single billets or trunk sections. One is a 17-inch
section of the rare Chonta palm from Juan Fernandez Island off the
coast of Chili, obtained by Dr. W. L. Schmitt. Prof. T. Jonson, of
the Royal Swedish Forestry School, Stockholm, contributed a fine
trunk section of European white birch from the demonstration forest
of the College of Forestry at Garpenberg, Province of Dalarne,
Sweden. In exchange for a study sample of Ginkgo wood sent to
him in August 1932, F. K. Dalton sent a piece of the wood of kaika-
waka, or New Zealand cedar, which burns very slowly and is used
locally for fire doors and similar purposes. A piece of German oak
cut from a dugout built on the Elbe between 800 and 900 A.D., and
attesting the great durability of this species, was received from R. D,
Hess as an exchange.
A collection of homeopathic pharmaceutical preparations, from
Boericke & Tafel, arranged to illustrate the history and principles of
homeopathy, was the largest gift received by the division of medicine
during the year. ‘The specimens included consist of pharmaceuticals
of all kinds from the animal, mineral, and vegetable kingdoms.
The division is indebted to Dr. F. B. Kilmer, of Johnson & Johnson,
for the contribution of type specimens of the earliest antiseptic sur-
gical dressings made on a commercial scale in the United States.
The first type, carbolated gauze, introduced the new Listerian sys-
tem of antiseptic dressings. The others illustrate improved forms
of dressings with corrosive sublimate and boric acid as the medicinal
agents.
The pharmacy collection was improved by the addition of con-
siderable material, including a druggist’s mortar contributed by
Magnus, Mabee & Reynard, and a series of six photographic en-
Jargements of murals depicting the progress of pharmacy, a gift of
the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science.
Accessions for the materia medica section included a gift of a set
of photographs especially prepared by Eli Lilly & Co. to illustrate
steps in the manufacture of insulin; a contribution of Merck & Co.
of a series of cinchona alkaloids and alkaloidal salts; and donations
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 125
of crude drugs by the United States Department of Agriculture,
R. Hillier’s Son Corporation, J. L. Hopkins & Co., S. B. Penick &
Co., Peek & Velsor, and Johnson & Johnson.
Additions to the section of public health were: A group of models
and a panel transferred from the United States Children’s Bureau;
a partial set of specially prepared placards and a series of strip films
received from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.; and additional
colored transparencies donated by the American Hospital Association.
Graphic arts.—The 51 accessions, 4 more than last year, totaled 1,433
specimens, of which the gifts, purchases, transfers, and deposits made
a permanent addition to the collections of 482 specimens. The most
important accession was 200 old etchings collected by J. Kay,
London, in 1826. The lot contains prints by such famous artists as
Rembrandt, Claude, Hollar, Cornelius, Bego, and Castiglione, and
many by lesser artists, quite a few of which are of much better
quality than those by the more famous etchers. Etchings and dry-
points by American artists were received from Joseph C. Claghorn,
Mrs. Sybilla M. Weber, and Robert Lawson.
In connection with the new installation of the photomechanical
and substitute processes, the following accessions were obtained:
Photographs of the inventors Frederic KE. Ives, Max Levy, Louis
E. Levy, and Karl Kletsch; 36 prints made by the Photogravure
and Color Co., of New York, from 3 old photomechanical plates
etched about 1860 by Fox Talbot. The Meriden Gravure Co. gave
18 specimens of their work in collotype, and 5 specimens of excellent
European work were purchased and incorporated in the exhibit.
The Laboratory Press of Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pitts-
burgh, presented 7 examples of the work being done in the school
of printing, and 2 large highlight water-marked samples of paper
were the gift of the Japan Paper Co.
Of the 26 accessions received by the section of photography during
the year, the most important and valued was the gift of Mary O.
Petrocelli, Brooklyn, N.Y., of 86 beautiful bromoil and resinotypia
prints made by her late husband, Joseph Petrocelli, between 1921
and 1928. They are all suitably and effectively framed, and were
presented in the hope that they would stimulate a desire to carry
on this type of work, of which Mr. Petrocelli was a master.
An important addition to the motion-picture exhibit was a com-
plete early Edison projection kinetoscope acquired from John P.
Daniels, Crisfield, Md.
Three burnishers used by the late John F. Jarvis, Washington,
D.C., the gift of Mr. Jarvis’ daughters, Mrs. Mae I. English and
Mrs. L. F. Speich, illustrate the development of this once useful
article in photography. M. Schneckenberger, chief photographer
for the Buffalo Museum of Science, Buffalo, N.Y., loaned two im-
126 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
portant cameras, one a Kodak No. 210 and the other an E. & H.
T. Anthony No. 1025. Dr. Robert Taft gave a portrait of Hamilton
H. Smith, the inventor of the tintype, which is a copy of a self-por-
trait (1889) printed on platinum paper of Smith’s preparation.
A 35-mm moving-picture film, the gift of Geophysiches Institut,
Prague, illustrates the copying of books in this compact form, each
page being copied on one frame and projected onto a screen for
study. Libraries are using this method to copy rare old books, thus
to preserve the originals and make them available for others.
Another film acquired from the Universal Talking Newsreel, New
York, illustrates the method of locomotion of a walrus in the San
Diego Zoo.
Mrs. Hazel Englebrecht, Des Moines, Iowa, specialist in X-ray
photography, presented to the section 2 photographs of flowers
and 9 negatives of various assorted subjects. DeLancey Gill,
Alexandria, Va., for many years illustrator of the Bureau of Ameri-
can Ethnology, upon his retirement on June 30, 1932, gave the col-
lection a Thornton Pickard shutter, a Triplex shutter, an old focusing
glass, and a Watkins meter. Eugene Augustin Lauste, Bloomfield,
N.J., pioneer inventor of sound and sight motion pictures, presented
22 photographic copies of his early inventions. Ida F. Arnold,
Canton, Mass., presented a collection of 4 daguerreotypes, 4 ambro-
types, 2 tintypes, and 1 cabinet portrait.
Loeb collection of chemical types.—Miss Aida M. Doyle, of the
section of organic chemistry, devoted 2 days a week to the Loeb
collection of chemical types under the head curator’s direction, and
by the close of the year had made satisfactory progress toward com-
pleting a technical catalog of the collection, which now numbers
1,336 specimens.
INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS
Engineering.—In the section of aeronautics the erection of the
gondola and part of the envelop of the airship Pilgrim was the larg-
est new installation. In addition, the collection of kites was in-
stalled in metal swinging frames and a complete series of illustrations
portraying the evolution of the parachute was added. In mechani-
cal technology the most popular new arrangement was the addition
of a horse, harness, and liveried driver to the hansom cab presented
last year by Mrs. James Parmelee. Mrs. Parmelee donated a nicely
carved wooden horse, the original harness, and the driver’s livery.
The large tower-clock movement presented last year by the city of
Frederick, Md., was installed at the level of the ‘‘clock gallery” on
the top of a steel tower erected from the main floor, and will be
operated during the coming year. The glass and metallurgy exhibits
of the section of mineral technology were completely rearranged.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 127
An attractive exhibit portraying the early work of Joseph Wharton
in the development of nickel refining and manufacturing processes
was installed.
Textiles, organic chemistry, wood technology, foods, and medicine.—In
all, 35 installations of new material and 13 rearrangements or rein-
stallations of specimens received in previous years were made in the
textile halls. In the section of organic chemistry 17 exhibits were
dismantled and revised, replacing some specimens with new material
of more recent manufacture. Three new installations were made in
the section of foods. A new colony of bees was installed in the obser-
vation hive in the spring, the beesin the old colony having nearly all
perished in the previous cold winter.
In wood technology a new cork exhibit was installed from material
contributed by the Armstrong Cork Co., the walnut airplane pro-
peller and accompanying parts, received in 1917 from the American
Propeller & Manufacturing Co., were rearranged; and parts of the
-exhibit of the Hammermill Paper Co., illustrating the manufacture
and use of sulphite wood pulp for writing papers, were revised. This
year 203 woods were received, primarily for the study collection. Of
these, 65 were of such size that they could be placed in the regular
drawers with little or no cutting, 133 were cut to size and all duplicates
put in storage, while 5 await seasoning. A total of 308 hand samples
were prepared for the study collection, 2,087 duplicates for distribu-
tion and exchange, and 318 thin sections were made for the division
of plants.
Important of the new or improved installations in the division of
medicine are models illustrating various phases of child welfare;
exhibits devoted to the portraying of general hygiene, preventive
medicine, and vital statistics; the Arabian period of medical history;
the history of pharmacy; the evolution of pharmacopoeias, dispensa-
‘tories, and formularies; and improved insulin, surgical dressings, and
crude drug exhibits.
Graphic arts—Besides conducting 8 special exhibitions, the mem-
bers of the staff of the division of graphic arts devoted 4% months to
the arrangement and installation of the photomechanical prints.
Many of the early specimens are rare, and to insure their careful
preservation they were covered with glass and bound with passe
partout. This method, once started, made it necessary to cover all
specimens in order to make the exhibition uniform. Nearly all the
old material and much new was rematted and covered with glass.
INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH
Dr. F. L. Lewton, curator of textiles, continued his botanical
studies of certain undescribed plants related to the cottons; the
assistant curator of wood technology, W. N. Watkins, carried on
128 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
investigations of the utility of certain tropical Florida woods and
gave special study to the anatomy of other species of woods; the
assistant curator of medicine, Dr. Charles Whitebread, pursued his
studies of Arabian medicine and the history of pharmacy; R. P.
Tolman, curator of graphic arts, devoted some time to further re-
search on the artist Malbone; and the assistant curator of engineering,
Paul E. Garber, found time to give to his researches in aeronautical
history.
Many individuals and industrial organizations made use of the
department’s collections during the year, some in connection with
their studies on various phases of industrial and technologic history
and transportation, involving in some cases the comparison of speci-
mens in the collections with privately-owned objects, and others in
connection with the preparation of historical exhibits for the Century
of Progress Exposition in Chicago. Assistance of this sort was
rendered also to a number of Federal agencies, including the United
States Shipping Board, the Bureau of Public Roads, the Bureau of ©
Navigation and Steamboat Inspection, and the Aeronautics Branch
of the Department of Commerce. Much time too was required to
comply with requests for the identification of specimens brought or
sent in by individuals and Federal bureaus. Such assistance in-
cluded identification of woods for the United States Bureau of Plant
Industry, the National Committee on Wood Utilization, the Bureau
of Standards, and the Bureau of American Ethnology. Seeds of
foreign cottons were identified for the Division of Foreign Plant
Introduction and rare drugs for the Division of Botany, United States
Bureau of Plant Industry. In addition, many lots of material, such
as paintings, sculpture, ship models, tools, textile fabrics, machinery,
electrical and mechanical equipment, watches and clocks, and
scientific apparatus, were identified and appraised.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS
The distributions from the department of arts and industries during
the year aggregated 2,091 specimens, of which 39 were gifts in aid of
- education, 8 exchanges for material which has or will be received, and
1,595 loans for educational or research purposes. Also 449 specimens
that had been temporarily in the department were returned to their
owners. |

REPORT ON THE DIVISION OF HISTORY
(THEODORE T. BEtotTE, Curator)
In 1921 the division of history was removed from the department of
anthropology and placed as a separate unit under the department of
arts and industries, its report since 1925 for convenience having been
combined with that of that department. With a reorganization
during the present year, the division of history now renders a separate
account of its activities.
The historical collections have been divided into the following
units: Art, antiquarian, costume, military, naval, numismatic, and
philatelic. These terms refer to the intrinsic character of the histor-
ical materials and indicate categories for the classification, installa-
tion, preservation, and future development of the immense mass of
objects of various types now 1n the care of the division. The arrange-
ment of the material in each of these groups has been greatly facili-
tated during recent years by the assignment of suitable exhibition and
storage space in the Arts and Industries Building for the entire
historical collections. Much of the time of the historical staff has
been occupied with transferring materials from the Natural History
Building to the Arts and Industries Building, but the rearrangement
of all this material has not yet been completed.
ACCESSIONS FOR THE YEAR
Additions to the collections during the year were smaller in numbers.
than in recent years, chiefly because of lack of exhibition and storage
space for new specimens of bulky size, the necessity of depending upon
gifts for material that has become comparatively scarce and valuable,
and the adoption of a high standard for material accepted. Speci-
mens added numbered 5,537, or 519 less than for the previous year.
In the antiquarian collections several objects of special interest
were added. One of these is a small compass in a leather case which
was carried by William Clark during the Lewis and Clark expedition
to the Pacific coast, 1804-6, and presented by Miss Mary McCabe.
Another is a silver vase given to Maj. Gen. Silas Casey, when captain
of the Second Infantry, United States Army, in recognition of his
services during the War with Mexico. It was lent to the Museum by
Miss Sophie Pearce Casey. Seven pieces of chinaware owned during
the early part of the nineteenth century by President James Madison
130
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM sea!
were presented by John H. Gray. Mrs. Daniel Gardner added 77
specimens of china, glass, and miscellaneous tableware to the anti-
quarian material presented by her in 1931.
An interesting collection of feminine wearing apparel of the latter
part of the nineteenth century was donated by Mrs. Gertrude O. 5.
Cleveland. A frock coat and vest worn by William McKinley, prior
to his election as President of the United States in 1896, were presented
by George A. Troll.
A United States flag carried on the boat Emma Dean by Maj. J. W.
Powell and his party during their exploring expedition down the
Green and Colorado Rivers, 1871-72, was presented by Frederick 8S.
Dellenbaugh.
Two military belt buckles of more than the usual historical impor-
tance were received. One of these, presented by Virginia B. Lewis
and Kmily B. Leaf, was owned during the War of 1812 by Maj. Gen.
Jacob Brown. The other, a gift of B. F. O’Rourke, was worn by
Thomas O’Rourke, Company E, Eighty-eighth New York Volunteers,
during the Battle of Cold Harbor, Va., and bears on its surface a rifle
bullet that was embedded in it during that engagement. The military
collection was also increased by a saber carried during the Civil War
by Lt. Thomas D. Jellico, One hundred and sixty-ninth New York
Volunteer Infantry, presented by Mrs. Clara Jellico Bevers, and by a
Spanish carbine and sword of the period of the Spanish-American
War, presented by Mrs. Arthur Foraker. The Polish Government
presented a series of uniforms and accessories of types now used in
the Polish Army.
A number of relics of unusual historical interest relating to the
career of Commodore Thomas Macdonough, added to the naval
collection, include a gold watch owned by him; a silver pitcher and
six goblets presented to him by the citizens of Lansingburg, N.Y., in
commemoration of his victory on Lake Champlain, September 11,
1814; and a handsome gold-mounted sword, a scabbard, and belt
presented to him by the crew of the U.S.S. Guerriere, July 8, 1819.
These items were lent by Rodney Macdonough. <A naval sword,
received as a gift from Mrs. J. A. Starkweather, was owned during the
early part of the nineteenth century by Dr. Thomas Williamson,
United States Navy.
Among the additions to the numismatic collection was a Portuguese
half-dobra gold piece struck in Brazil in 1761, presented by Phillip
Elting. From the International Nickel Co. came a collection of 48
nickel coins illustrating the types of coins of this metal now circulating
in Albania, Austria, Belgium, Ecuador, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Morocco,
Poland, Siam, Switzerland, Turkey, and Vatican City. The United
States Mint transferred two examples each of the gold, silver, and
132 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
bronze coins struck in the Denver, Philadelphia, and San Francisco
Mints during 1932.
Two bronze copies of the medal of award of the United States
George Washington Bicentennial Commission, 1932, were presented
by the commission. The directors of the French Mint presented an
exceptionally artistic medal commemorating the tercentennial anni-
versary of the birth of Benedict Spinoza. A special collection of 186
British medals commemorating the exploits of Admiral Edward Ver-
non, R.N., during his expedition against the Spanish possessions in
the Caribbean Sea, 1739-41, was lent for temporary exhibition by
LL. McCormick-Goodhart.
A number of additions were made to the collection of military deco-
rations.. From the War Department came two examples of the
recently reestablished United States military decoration, the Purple
Heart. From the New Mexico National Guard, through Maj. Fred-
erick R. Lafferty, the Museum received two examples of the long-
service medal and drill-attendance medal of the type awarded to
members of that guard. Six military decorations and six exquisitely
executed miniatures of these decorations, all owned during the World
War by Maj. Gen. George M. Burr, were presented by Mrs. Lydia
K. Burr.
The philatelic collections were increased by 3,971 specimens received
from the Post Office Department, including examples of many United
States and foreign commemorative stamps of more than the usual
historical interest.
INSTALLATION AND PRESERVATION OF COLLECTIONS
The transfer of historical materials from the Natural History
Building to the Arts and Industries Building has complicated the
problem of adequate space and furniture, but the arrangement has
been greatly improved by the transfer. The art material has offered
the greatest difficulties, as it is difficult to arrange busts, portraits, and
historic scenes in a satisfactory manner owing to the architectural
features of the walls of the building. Part of the collection of busts is
shown on the tops of wall cases. :
The only series of paintings now shown with entire success is the
Ferris collection of American historical subjects for which special
alcoves were provided 2 years ago. This collection makes a splendid
showing and harmonizes well with the costumes material exhibited in
the same hall.
The antiquarian material has been united and now includes a fine
series of china, glass, silverware, and furniture relating to the develop-
ment of the American home from about 1750 to 1850. The pieces of
greatest importance are those associated with noted personages of
American history, and material of this character is given the most
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY: NATIONAL MUSEUM 133
prominent location in the exhibition scheme. This section includes
materials owned by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander
Hamilton, James Madison, and many other important figures in
American history.
An exhibit of unusual historical interest installed during the year
included examples of coins, tokens, and paper currency issued by
local and State authorities and by private individuals and commer-
cial firms in the United States from the Colonial period to the present
time. Of equal importance are many examples of metal currency
known as ‘‘tokens”’ that were produced in the United States during
the financial panic of 1837 and during the Civil War. This special
exhibit also included coins and currency made during the period of
the Confederation prior to the establishment of the United States
Mint and the first issue by that establishment of the official series of
United States coins, which began in 1793.
The value of the philatelic material for exhibition purposes was
greatly increased by the installation of a special series of electric
fixtures, which not only light the cabinets but also the nearby wall
cases containing the Richard Mansfield collection of historical
theatrical costumes.
NUMBER OF SPECIMENS UNDER DIVISION
During the past year 5,537 specimens were received and 227 speci-
mens were returned to the owners. The number of specimens
included in each of the classes of materials assigned to the division is
given below. The library material, which includes documents
and publications of historical interest, has received few additions in
recent years, as material of this character is no longer included in
the field of work of the division.

190 ANNUAL REPORT SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, 1933
FREER GALLERY OF ART FUND
Early in 1906, by deed of gift, Charles L. Freer, of Detroit, gave to
the Institution his collection of Chinese and other oriental objects of
art, as well as paintings, etchings, and other works of art by Whistler,
Thayer, Dewing, and other artists. Later he also gave funds for the
construction of a building to house the collection, and finally, in his
will, probated November 6, 1919, he provided stock and securities to
the estimated value of $1,958,591.42 as an endowment fund for the
operation of the gallery. From the above date to the present time
these funds have been increased by stock dividends, savings of income,
etc., to a total of $4,736,907.59. In view of the importance and
special nature of the gift and the requirements of the testator in
respect to it, all Freer funds are kept separate from the other funds
of the Institution, and the accounting in respect to them is stated
separately.
The invested funds of the Freer bequest are classified as follows:
