REPORT ON THE PROGRESS AND CONDITION OF
THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM FOR
THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1913.
By Richard Rathbun,
Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution,
in charge of the U. S. National Museum.
INCEPTION AND HISTORY.
The Congress of the United States in the act of August 10, 1846,
founding the Smithsonian Institution recognized that an opportunity
was afforded, in carrying out the large-muaded design of Smithson, to
provide for the custody of the museum of the Nation. To this new
establishment was therefore intrusted the car^of the national collec-
tions, a course that time has fuUy justified.
In the begumuig the cost of maiatainiag the museum side of the
Institution's work was wholly paid from the Smithsonian income;
then for a time the Government bore a share, and during the past 37
years Congress has voted the entire funds for the expenses of the
Museum, thus furthering one of the primary means ''for the increase
and diffusion of knowledge among men" without encroaching upon
the resources of the Institution.
The museum idea was inherent in the establishment of the Smith-
sonian Institution, which in its turn was based upon a 10 years'
discussion in Congress and the advice of the most distinguished
scientific men, educators, and intellectual leaders of the Nation of 70
years ago. It is interesting to note how broad and comprehensive
were the views which actuated our lawmakers in determining the
scope of the Museum, a fact especially remarkable when it is recalled
that at that date no museum of considerable size existed m. the United
States, and the museums of England and of the continent of Europe
were still to a large extent without a developed plan, although con-
taining many rich collections.
^ The Congress which passed the act of foundation enimierated as
"Tfwithin the scope of the Museum "all objects of art and of foreign
c and curious research and all objects of natural history, plants, and
geological and mineralogical specimens belonging to the United
8 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
States/' thus stamping the Museum at the very outset as one of the
widest range and at the same time as the Museum of the United
States. It was also fully appreciated that additions would be neces-
sary to the collections then in existence, and provision was made for
their increase by the exchange of duplicate specimens, by donations,
and by other means.
If the wisdom of Congress in so fully providing for a museum in
the Smithsonian law challenges attention, the interpretation put upon
this law by the Board of Regents within less than six months from
the passage of the act can not but command admiration. In the
early part of September, 1846, the Regents took steps toward formulat-
ing a plan of operations. The report of the committee appointed
for this purpose, submitted in December and January following,
shows a thorough consideration of the subject in both the spirit and
letter of the law. It would seem not out of place to cite here the
first pronouncement of the board with reference to the character of
the Museum:
"In obedience to the requirements of the charter,^ which leaves
little discretion in regard to the extent of accommodations to be pro-
vided, your committee recommend that there be included in the
building a museum of Rberal size, fitted up to receive the collections
destined for the Institution, * * *
"As important as the cabmets of natural history by the charter
required to be included in the Museum, your committee regard its
ethnological portion, mcluding all collections that may supply items
in the physical history of our species, and illustrate the manners,
customs, religions, and progressive advance of the various nations
of the world; as, for example, collections of skuUs, skeletons, por-
traits, dresses, implements, weapons, idols, antiquities, of the various
races of man. * * * jjj tj-iis connexion, your committee recom-
mend the passage of resolutions asking the cooperation of certain
public functionaries, and of the public generally, in furtherance of
the above objects.
"Your committee are further of opinion that in the Museum, if
the funds of the Institution permit, might judiciously be included
various series of models illustrating the progress of some of the most
useful inventions; such, for example, as the steam engine from its
earliest and rudest form to its present most improved state; but this
they propose only so far as it may not encroach on groimd already
covered by the numerous models ha the Patent Office.
"Specimens of staple materials, of their gradual manufacture, and
of the finished product of manufactures and the arts may also, your

gress, the use of the word "chaiter" in this connection was not correct.

conunittee think, be usefully introduced. This would supply oppor-
tunity to examine samples of the best manufactured articles our
coimtry affords, and to judge her gradual progress in arts and manu-
factures. * * *
"The gallery of art, your committee tliink, should include both
paintings and sculpture, as well as engravings and arcliitectural
designs; and it is desirable to have in connexion with it one or more
studios in which yoimg artists might copy without mterruption,
being admitted under such regulations as the board may prescribe.
Your committee also tliink that, as the collection of paintings and
sculpture will probably accumulate slowly, the room destined for a
gallery of art might properly and usefully meanwhile be occupied
during the sessions of Congress as an exliibition room for the works
of artists generally; and the extent and general usefulness of such an
exhibition might probably be increased if an arrangement could be
effected •wath the Academy of Design, the Arts Union, the Artists'
Fund Society, and other associations 'of similar character, so as to
concentrate at the metropohs for a certain portion of each winter the
best results of talent in the fuie arts."
The important points in the foregoing report are (1) that it was
the opinion of the Regents that a museum was requisite imder the
law. Congress having left no discretion in the matter; (2) that eth-
nology and anthropology, though not specially named, were yet as
important subjects as natural history; (3) that the history of the
progress of useful inventions and the collection of the raw materials
and products of the manufactures and arts should also be provided
for; (4) for the gaUery of art the committee had models in existence,
and they proposed, pending the gathering of art collections, which
would of necessity be slow, to provide for loan exliibitions by cooper-
ating with art academies and societies.
In the resolutions which were adopted upon the presentation of
the report, a museum was mentioned as ''one of the principal modes
of executing the act and trust." ^ The work was to go forward as the
funds permitted, and, as is well known, the maintenance of the
Aluseum and the Ubrary was long ago assiuned by Congress, the
Institution taking upon itself only so much of the necessary respon-
sibiHty for the administration of these and subsequent additions to
' Resolved, That it is tlie intention of tlie act of Congress establishing the Insti-
tution, and in accordance with the design of Mr. Smithson, as expressed in his will,
that one of the pilncipal modes of executing the act and the tinast is the accumulation
of collections of specimens and objects of natural history and of elegant art, and the
gradual formation of a library of valuable works pertaining to all departments of
human knowledge, to the end that a copious storehouse of materials of science, litera-
ture, and art may be provided which shall excite and diffuse the love of learning
among men, and shall assist the original investigations and efforts of those who may
devote themselves to the pursuit of any branch of knowledge.

10 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913
its activities as would weld them into a compact whole, which together
form a unique and notable agency for the increase and diffusion of
knowledge, for the direction of research, for cooperation with depart-
ments of the Government and with universities and scientific societies
in America, and likewise afford a definite correspondent to all scientific
institutions and men abroad who seek interchange of views or knowl-
edge with men of science in the United States.
Since that early day the only material change in the scope of the
Government Museum has been the addition of a department of
American history, intended to illustrate by an appropriate assemblage
of objects the lives of distinguished personages, important events,
and the domestic life of the country from the colonial period to the
present time.
The development of the Museum has been greatest in those subjects
which the conditions of the past 60 years have made most fruitful
the natural liistory, geology, ethnology, and archeology of the United
States, supplemented by many collections from other countries.
The opportunities for acquisition in these directions have been
mainly brought about through the acti^dties of the scientific and
economic surveys of the Government, many of which are the direct
outgrowths of earher explorations, stimulated or directed by the
Smithsonian Institution. The Centennial Exliibition of 1876 afforded
the first opportunity for estabHsliing a department of the industrial
arts on a creditable basis, and of tliis the fullest advantage was taken,
though only a part of the collections then obtained could be accom-
modated in the space available. The department or gallery of the
fine arts had made little progress, though not from lack of desire or
appreciation, until within the past seven years, during wliich its
interests have been markedly advanced.
With the completion of the new large granite structure on the Mall,
the Museum has come virtually into possession of a group of three
buildings, in which there is opportunity for a proper systematic
arrangement of its vast and varied collections as well as a compre-
hensive public installation, and under these favorable conditions it
may be considered to have entered upon an era of renewed pros-
perity and usefulness.
While it is the piimary duty of a museum to preserve the objects
confided to its care, as it is that of a library to preserve its books and
manuscripts, yet the importance of public collections rests not upon
the mere basis of custodianship, nor upon the number of specimens
assembled and their money value, but upon the use to which they are
put. Judged by this standard, the National Museum may claim to
have reached a high state of efficiency. From an educational point
of view it is of great value to those persons who are so fortunate as to
reside in Washington or who are able to visit the Nation's Capital.
REPORT OF JSTATTONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 11
In its well-designed cases, in wiiich every detail of structure, appoint-
ment, and color is considered, a selection of representative objects is
placed on view to the public, all being carefully labeled individually
and in groups. The child as well as the adult has been provided for,
and the kindergarten pupil and the high-school scholar can be seen
here, supplementing their classroom games or studies. Under
authority from Congress, the small colleges and higher grades of
schools and academies throughout the land, especially in places
where museums do not exist, are also being aided in their educational
work by sets of duplicate specimens, selected and labeled to meet the
needs of both teachers and pupils.
Nor has the elementary or even the higher education been by any
means the sole gainer from the work of the Museum. To advance
knowledge, to gradually extend the boundaries of learning, has been
one of the great tasks to which the Museum, in consonance with the
spirit of the Institution, has set itself from the first. Its staff, though
chiefly engaged in the duties incident to the care, classification, and
labeling of collections in order that they may be accessible to the
public and to students, has yet in these operations made important
discoveries in every department of the Museum's activities, which
have in turn been communicated to other scholars through its numer-
ous publications. But the collections have not been held for the
study of the staff nor for the scientific advancement of those belong-
ing to the establislmient. Most freely have they been put at the
disposal of investigators connected with other institutions, and, in
fact, wdthout the help of many such the record of scientific progress
based upon the material in the Museum would have been greatly
curtailed. Wlien it is possible to so arrange, the investigator comes
to Washington; otherwise such collections as he needs are sent to
him, whether he resides in tliis country or abroad. In this manner
practically every prominent specialist throughout the world interested
in the subjects here well represented has had some use of the col-
lections, and thereby the National Museum has come to be recog-
nized as a conspicuous factor in the advancement of knowledge
wherever civihzation has a foothold.
Most important among the operations of the past year was the work
upon the exhibition collections of natural history, in the arrangement
of which sufficient progress was made to justify the opening of all
the public halls in the new building, as described below. Much was
also accomplished in the direction of rehabihtating certain branches
of the department of the arts and industries, to which for a long time
it has been impossible to give proper recognition, owing to the over-
crowded condition of the Museum space preceding the occupation of
the new building.
THE NATURAL HISTORY EXHIBITIONS.
Of the 468,000 square feet, or approximately lOf acres, of floor
space furnished by the new building, some 220,000 square feet, or
fully 5 acres, are of the nature of exhibition space. Included in the
latter figures are the main floor and galleries of the south pavihon
and rotunda, and the large central hall and several of its communi-
catmg rooms in the ground story, which, though occasionally and in
part used for temporary exhibitions, have not as yet been perma-
nently assigned to any purpose. The entke area of the wings and
ranges in the first and second stories, however, has been definitely
allotted to the display of natural history subjects and before the close
of last year the installations had been sufficiently advanced to permit
of its being wholly opened to the pubhc. The total extent of this
area is 185,294 square feet, of which 7,264 feet have for several years
been pro^dsionally occupied by the paintings of the National Gallery
of Art in default of proper lighting in either of the other buildings.
As described m a previous report, the new building consists of three
great wings extending east, west and north from a jjractically square
paAdHon and connected near their outer ends by two L-shaped ranges,
one on each side, so placed as to complete the enclosure of two large
courts and give to the building a rectangular and symmetrical outUne
in plan. The two exhibition floors are above a basement or ground
story and are surmounted by a third story and attic, the latter not
discernible fi-om the outside. The wings are approximately 116 feet
wide in the inside, and the ranges 54 feet 2 mches. The east and west
wings are 216 feet long, but the north wing measures only 205 feet,
while each of the ranges has a total length of 316 feet 10 inches. The
heights are 20 feet in the first story and 19 feet 6 inches in the second
story.
On account of their great width, it was necessary to introduce a
large skyhght over the middle of each wing in order to obtain illumi-
nation for the central part of the main floor, which required the pierc-
ing of the second as well as the succeeding stories, mth a correspond-
ing diminution in their areas. In the ranges, however, the floors are
unbroken and ahke in both stories. The main entrance is on the
south side of the building, where the pavihon and rotunda serve as a
great lobby communicating directly w^th all the wdngs. From this
point, as also from the north side, wliich contains a secondary pubhc
entrance, circulation is continuous and unobstructed around the
entire building, with a median thoroughfare through the north whig.
12
REPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 13
The skylighted section of each mng is of the nature of a great hall,
54 feet 8 inches high to the under side of the ceiling light, about 167
feet 6 inches long and 50 feet wide. Its boundaries in the first story
are marked by a row of large rectangular piers on each side and a
crossrow at the outer end, enclosing steel column supports for the
inner edges of the floor above and for the walls of the light well,
whose only piercings are certain balcony openings in the second
story. The interspaces between the piers in the lateral rows, except
the extreme one at each end, have been filled in with screen walls to
further mark the line of demarcation and supply additional wall
space for the purposes of installation. The side aisles furnish elon-
gate halls, about 33 feet wide, reaching to the space at the outer end
of the wing, which may be regarded as a fourth hall, measuring about
116 feet by 48 feet, except in the north wing, where its size is less
and where a screen wall cuts it across. Only where the screen walls
occur, however, is there any effect of actual division between the
sections of the wing, whose great dimensions of length, -w^dth and
height are in e^adence from practically every point of view. In the
second story of the wings the floor space is the equivalent of the aisles
and outer hall of the main story, with approximately the same
dimensions for each.
From the south pavihon there are three large openings mto each
of the wings on the first floor, one leading to the central haU, the
others to the aisles. On the second floor there are only two such
entrances, one on each side, though an intermediate balcony opening
furnishes a general view overlooking the main haU. From the north
entrance of the building immediate access is had to only the north
wing, from which the others can be reached only by traversing that
"wdng or the ranges at the sides.
The provisions for the lighting of the exhibition haUs are ample, as,
in addition to the skyUghts, the outer waUs are pierced with excep-
tionally large windows, whose width is 1 1 feet 6 inches as against a
wddth of 7 feet for the intervening piers, and whose height is only 4
feet to 5 feet 6 inches less than that of the stories. It is also of
interest to note that the length dimension of the building is based
on a constant unit of 18^ feet, which is the distance between the cen-
tei-s of successive piers, and is only disregarded in meeting architec-
tural requirements at the corners of the building and at the juncture
of walls. This arrangement lends itself to uniformity in the instal-
lation of exhibits, which the size of the unit adopted permits to be
carried out on a scale and in a manner commensurate with the large
size of the halls.
The plan of three wings particularly adapts the building to the
three departments representing the organization of the natural his-
tory collections, each of which is allotted an entire wing for its exhibi-
14 EEPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
tion series, the overflow from each extending a greater or less distance
into the adjacent ranges. The department of anthropology, which is
centrally located with respect to the other two departments, occupies
the north \\ing, the northern section of both ranges in the first story,
and the entire east range in the second story, with an aggregate of
65,941 square feet of floor space, besides the 7,264 square feet used
for the National Gallery of Art. The department of geology is
assigned the east wing and the eastern section of the east range in
the first story, with 47,691 square feet of floor space; while the
department of biology has possession of the west wing, the western
section of the west range in the first story, and the entire west range
in the second story, with an aggregate of 64,398 square feet of space.
The magnitude of the task of installing the large area thus defined,
of selecting, preparing, arranging, and labeling the great number and
variety of specimens required, preceded by the plamiing and construc-
tion of the necessary cases, can be realized only by the few who have
had experience in such matters. By expediting the work, by follow-
ing along the lines of least resistance in order that the pubhc might be
denied access to the several parts of the building for as short a time as
possible, the halls have been opened up in rapid succession, the last
of them before the close of the past year. While to the casual visitor
the installations may in the main seem altogether presentable, some
of them are, in fact, still very incomplete, awaiting material which has
been planned for and which to a greater or less extent is in course of
preparation. In other cases the arrangements have been more or
less provisional, demanding an extended revision in the matter of
details which is steadily progressing, and the work of labeling re-
mains largely to be done. It is to be understood, of course, that how-
ever thoroughly the above provisions may be carried out, the collec-
tions will be subject to changes and improvement during aU time in
order that the public may be kept in touch with the advancement
of knowledge in natural history, and, through the introduction of
better methods of illustration, may be led to a clearer understanding
of the lessons which the exhibits are designed to convey.
On April 23, 1913, during the semicentennial celebration of the
National Academy of Sciences, the arrangement of the mammal haU
in the west "wing havmg been effected, the south or main entrance of
the building was fu'st regularly opened to the public, which now has
access to the great structure on both the north and south sides.
ANTHROPOLOGY.
Of the several divisions administered by the department of antlii'o-
pology, four have been estabhshed in the new building as constituting
together one of the great branches of natural history as now generall}^
recognized by museums. They are physical anthropology, etlmology,
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 15
and archeology, which latter is here subdivided into Old World and
American. Physical anthropology is not at present represented in
the public halls, though an important exhibition of a technical char-
acter for the inspection of experts and students has been arranged in
connection with the laboratory, as described farther on. Each of the
other subjects, however, has been extensively illustrated on a popular
basis of installation, though none the less instructive and important
for the professional.
Ethnology.—This division occupies the entire area assigned to the
department of anthropology in the first story, amounting in the
aggregate to 35,474 square feet of floor space and comprising the fol-'
lo\ving, namely: The full length of the northern sections of both
ranges, each measuring 185 feet 6 inches long by 54 feet 2 inches wide;
and all parts of the north wing outside of the enclosure for the paint-
ings of the National Gallery of Art, including two side halls 187 feet
long by 33 feet wide, besides a considerable amount of space at the
ends of the wing.
The arrangement of the ethnological collections is geographical,
the material belonging to each area being displayed as an assemblage
or by classes of objects. The exhibits find their key in family lay-
figure groups placed centrally in the halls, which typify the physical
characteristics, the social organization, the manners and customs, and
the arts and industries of selected human types. The design ot the
exhibition is to illustrate systematically the comparative differences
in material cultiu-e and advancement of modern groups of mankind,
thus giving an impression of the effects of environment and racial
tendencies on the arts and industries of peoples. By means of the
groups, and of individual figures, models of villages, paintings, trans-
parencies, etc., the appearance of different peoples and the larger
scope of their life is also shown. Wherever the collections are suffi-
ciently large and full they are displayed in separate cases in accord-
ance with a systematic arrangement, as costumes, textile art, house-
hold utensils, tools, weapons, transportation, artistic works, etc. A
synopsis of an implement or product of an art belonging to a great
area is also sometimes given, noting as examples the adz, the club, the
spear and tapa cloth, which have a mde distribution. Another
synoptical series showing the stages of development of implements
and utensils has been prepared and awaits installation.
Of this exceedingly interesting and varied exliibition, which wiU
before long be described in detail, only a brief summary can be given
here. In the east range, beginning at the eastern end, are repre-
sented all the great regions of Africa, the Andaman and Nicobar
Islands, Papua, Alicronesia, Polynesia, the East Indies and the Phil-
ippines, the figures comprising costumed manikins of Africans,
Veddahs, Papuans and Malays, and family groups of Negritos,

Igorots, Filipinos and Samoans. On the east side of the north wing,
in continuation from the range, are the exhibits from India, Ceylon,
Siam, Tibet, Mongolia, Turkestan, China, Japan, and the northwest
coast of America, including a number of single figures and groups of
Japanese, Ainos and Eskimo, and a series of paintings and enlarged

Navaho weaver and Navaho silversmith, the Zuni potter, the Cocopa
and the Virginia Indians. The waU cases contain a number of single
figures, while selections from the George CatHn collection of Indian
paintings are arranged above the cases, and transparencies of both
Eskimo and Indian subjects are displayed in the windows.
18 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
The west range is devoted to the Indians of CaUfornia, Oregon and
Washmgton, the Pueblo region, the southwest border States, Mexico,
Central America, and South America, of which last area a majority
of the grand ethnological divisions are represented. The family
groups are of the Sioux, the Hupa of California, the Zuni, the Hopi,
the Hopi snake dance, the Maya-Quiche, and the Patagonian. Two
large models of typical Hopi-Pueblo villages occupy bases in the center
of the haU, and interspersed among the exhibits here and elsewhere
are numerous small cases of the Kensington type, containing groups
of specimens of special interest, village group models, etc.
At the northern end of the north wing is an important exhibition
of basketry. In four cases flanking the entrance to the art gallery
are arranged many examples of these most interesting and pleasing
objects of Indian skill and art, constituting a synopsis of the bas-
ketry work of the four regions of the world; while in the adjoining
alcove, between the stairs and elevators, is a larger collection com-
posed exclusively of American baskets, and containing type speci-
njens for all of North America.
Old World archeology.—Embracing in its scope the antiquities of
Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, and the proximate islands, this
division possesses but a very inadequate representation of the mat-
ters which pertain to it. The Government has conducted no explo-
rations that would contribute to its resources, and the Museum itself
has had few opportunities for directing material its way. Neverthe-
less, it has succeeded in assembling a varied and, in many respects,
a most important collection, from which it has been possible to select
for exhibition a very considerable series of specimens both interest-
ing and instructive for the public. The space occupied is the elon-
gate hall on the west side of the light well in the second story of
the north wing, measuring about 187 feet 8 inches long by 31 feet
wide, and the entire outer end of the wing, furnishing an aggregate
of about 7,926 square feet of floor area.
The classification is in two great sections, the first embracing the
culture of the so-called "historic nations," especially those settled
around the Mediterranean basin (Assyro-Babylonian, Egyptian, Syro-
Palestinian and Greco-Roman), from which our own civilization is
largely derived; the second, the diversified cultures of various peo-
ples, imperfectly or not at all represented in contemporary written
records. To the latter belongs the large body of artifacts and osse-
ous remains of man and of animals coeval with him in the very early
stages of his development, generally referred to as the prehistoric or
stone age.
The installations are as follows: The alcove at the northern end of
the wing is mainly occupied by antiquities of Assyria and Egypt.
In the center is a large mosaic taken from the floor of a Roman
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 19
temple at Carthage of two millenniums ago and representing a lion
attacking a wild ass. On either side are facsimiles of the Rosetta
Stone, and various Assyro-Babylonian and Palestinian monuments,
while mounted on a screen is a large relief map of Palestine with two
Palestine inscriptions, surrounded by a series of geographical and
ethnographical photogravures. Three floor cases contain the more
valuable Egyptian antiquities—a mummy, an original Greco-
Egyptian painting, a facsimile of the Book of the Dead, inscribed
papyri, potteries, stone implements, etc., while wall cases at either
end of the alcove hold several well-preserved Egyptian mummy
cases or cofiins. The available wall space is used for reliefs in plas-
ter illustrating phases of Egyptian and Assyrian history and my-
thology. In the passage adjoining the alcove are replicas of two
colossal composite figures, the winged human-headed lion and bull,
which once guarded the entrance to an Assyrian temple or palace,
with a series of Egyptian and Assyro-Babylonian statues between
them, the series being flanked at either end by casts of colossal
statues from Syria-Hadad and Panamnu. The otherwise unoccu-
pied wall space on both sides of the passage is covered with reliefs.
In the large western hall a continuous wall case on the east side
contains in succession, beginning at the north, Egyptian antiquities,
such as statues and busts of divinities and kings ; a stone sphinx and
various funerary paraphernalia; Assyro-Babylonian sculptures and
utensils; Biblical coins and gems; a collection of Bibles and musical
instruments of the Bible; Italian potteries; and reduced casts of
upwards of 70 pieces of statuary and bas-reliefs illustrating Greco-
Roman sculpture and mythology. Ranged on bases at the south
end of the hall are casts of large sculpture (the Laocoon, Hermes
of Andros, etc.), a model of the Parthenon, and a cast of a capital
from the Temple of Castor in Rome. A selection of Hittite and
Greek bas-reliefs is displayed on the wall space above the long case.
The floor space in this hall is occupied by two rows of cases, one
extending through the middle, the other being on the window side.
Interspaced between the 9 principal cases of the central row are small
upright cases containing small collections of Italian bronzes, glass-
ware, terra-cotta, mosaics and tiles, and potteries and tiles from
Turkestan. In the main series are installed successively the finer
and older figured Greek potteries, ranging in date from the 7th to
the 4th century B. C; Greek potteries and Etruscan bronzes; terra-
cotta figurines and bronzes; bronzes found in various parts of Europe
but mostly of Roman origin; a collection of stone and bone imple-
ments, bronzes and potteries from Troy, and a similar collection from
Armenia* extensive series of Egyptian neolithic stone implements,
and a few stone implements and other objects from Palestine, attrib-
uted to the paleolithic age; a large series of stone implements and

potteries from Japan, with a few examples from Korea and Russia;
and stone and bone work and ornaments from India, Cambodia, and
Indo-China.
In the outer row of cases are shown late Italian pottery ; stone im-
plements, potteries, and ornaments from the Lacustrine and Terre-
mare periods in Italy; stone implements from the earliest times down
to the neolithic period, accompanied by osseous remains and bone
implements; paleoliths from the river drift and from caves and bar-
rows in England and Ireland, with numerous remains of contempo-
rary animals; paleoliths from France in which the several divisions
and classifications of the paleolithic epoch, such as the Chelleen,
Mousterien, and the wonderful art of the caverns of Dordogne in the
Aurignacian period are well represented and supplemented by animal
bones and bone artifacts; a large number of chipped and polished
stone tools, with the appurtenant bones and pottery fragments, illus-
trating advanced stages of the neolithic in England and France;
objects of stone, pottery, ornaments, agricultural products and the
model of a pile house settlement from Switzerland; a collection of
stone implements from Scandinavia; and illustrations of the primitive
stages of culture in Somaliland, Cape Colony, Tasmania, Victoria, and
New South Wales.
Ainerican archeology.—This division comprehends all that relates
to American archeology, historic and prehistoric, continental and
insular, and as regards northern America its collections are among
the most important in existence. All branches of the collections have
been drawn upon for the exhibition series, but the representation of
the aborigines of the United States greatly preponderates. The space
occupied for this display, aggregating in extent 22,540 square feet, com-
prises the east hall in the second story of the north wing, about 187 feet
8 inches long by 31 feet wide, and the entire east range in the same story,
with a length of 316 feet 10 mches and a width of 54 feet 2 inches.
While the natural geographical classification is primarily by con-
tinents and island groups, and secondarily by ethnic areas or peoples,
for purposes of exhibition, where the public must be considered, the
secondary classification has been arranged by political divisions—by
countries and states. Classification by peoples, that is, by races,
stocks and tribes, is feasible in some cases, as, for example, the
antiquities of the Eskimo can be separated in a general way from
those of the Indian tribes, and those of the Aztecs from those of the
Maya or Incas, but in all cases the distinctions grow less definite as
we go backward in time and are finally lost. These ethnic groups
are, however, the essential units of research, since a principal pur-
pose in all archeological investigation is to acquire fuller knowledge
of the history of particular peoples, but the science of archeology finds
its greatest usefulness in contributing to the history of culture in its
—
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 21
primitive states of development, and the exhibits in the Museum are
classified and arranged with the view of conveying all that can be
brought out by objective material respecting this subject.
The hall on the east side of the north wing is devoted to the coun-
tries south of the United States. Beginning at the north are casts
and originals of ancient Mexican sculptures, utensils, implements,
and other objects of stone and clay, followed by corresponding
exhibits from Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile,
Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, and the Guianas. Several
models of ancient Mexican buildings occupy a part of the central
floor space, while casts of relief sculptures and glyphic inscriptions
from Mexico and Central America are displayed on the walls. A
number of overflow exhibits of minor antiquities belonging to Middle
and South America have been provisionally installed in the east range.
Very special interest attaches to the above exhibits as they repre-
sent the highest achievements in various branches of culture attained
by any of the American aborigines. The buildings, especially of the
Maya race, shown in the models are works of astonishing elaboration
of plan, mechanical perfection of construction, and beauty of embel-
hshment, and the rehefs and glyphic inscriptions confirm the view
that these peoples were advanced to the very thi'eshold of civihzation
a stage of progress corresponding with that of the most advanced
nations of the Old World only a few millenniums ago. It is seen that
the Aztecs of middle Mexico, the Zapotecs of southern Mexico, and the
Incas of South America, while in some respects inferior in advance-
ment to the Mayas of Yucatan and Guatemala, were also pressing
hard up against the lower frontiers of the civiHzed state. The ancient
peoples of northern Mexico, of the Isthmian region, and of northern
South America were less advanced, while the gTeat body of tribes of
eastern and southern South America, ancient as well as modern, had
not risen above the state of primitive savagery.
The east range, with the exception of a small space allotted to the
British possessions, is wholly given up to the archeology of the United
States. Forty-five large upright cases, distributed in three series
through the entire length of the range, contain representative exhibits
for the several States, beginning with Aiizona and New Mexico and
ending with New England. On account of the very large body of
material from New Mexico, Arizona, and California, a number of
cases are devoted to each of these States, while in some instances
single cases accommodate the entire representation from two or more
States, as Vermont, New Hampshire, Idaho, Montana, Mississippi,
and Texas. Accompanying the above, in table cases, are illustrations
of special features of exploration and the resultant collections, such
as the contents of certain village sites, mounds, cemeteries, pueblos,
22 BEPOBt OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
caverns, and cliff-dwellings, telling the story of the life and culture
of the local tribes. Of particular popular interest are models of
ancient pueblos, cliff-houses and villages, and also, though yet in an
incomplete state, lay figures, colored to life, showing the practice of
various industries, especially those concerned in the arts of stone
working and metallurgy of the ancient peoples. Another series of
table cases extending through the middle of the range, with a few
at the sides, hold synoptic collections of relics illustrating each class
of utensils and implements, as mortars, pestles, stone axes, copper
implements, etc., conveying to the visitor a clear conception of the
full range of form, the geographical distribution, and the material
employed, and, with the aid of labels, the varied uses of the objects.
Associated with these are numerous exhibits elucidating the indus-
tries of the aborigines, especially the quarryuig of flint, obsidian,
soapstone, and mica; the mining of copper, iron ore, tm-quois, and
paint; and the working of stone, metal, clay, bone, and shell, these
being the most important features of aboriginal industrial life—the
dynamic agencies of incipient civilization.
Physical anthropology.—Physical anthropology deals, in a com-
parative way, with the physical man, or man considered from the
natm'al history standpoint, and endeavors to trace the processes and
laws of his evolution and variation. In conjunction with other
sciences it seeks a solid foundation for safeguarding the present wel-
fare of the race and regulating its future development, and it also
constitutes in part the physical basis for the science of psychology.
The materials which have been assembled by the division represent
normal man in his many differentiations, and embody extensive
skeletal, brain, and other series to serve as a basis for research and
comparison. As a result mainly of recent activities, the collections
have been so built up as to comprise the largest and most compre-
hensive body of subject matter of physical anthi'opology in America.
The arrangements in the laboratory are such as to facihtate the
examination of material, and the study of methods by specialists and
students, and in two of the rooms a systematic exhibition series has
been installed. Some of the more important subjects illustrated in
the latter are the evolution of the human skeleton, the skull of pri-
mates compared with that of man, geologically ancient man and his
forerunners, neolithic crania, the anatomical connection of present
with early man and preceding forms, the development of the human
skeleton, variations in the human skeleton, and senihty and miscel-
laneous featm-es. These exhibits are supplemented by numerous
busts of pm'e-blood types of American Indians, portraits of promi-
nent anthropologists, and a large series of modern and early anthro-
pometric instruments.
REPOBT OF l^ATIONAL MUSEUM, 1&13. 2S
BIOLOGY.
The exhibition collections of biology, at present restricted to
zoology, comprehend a greater number of subdivisions than those of
anthropology or geology. The principal of these are a general and
comprehensive representation of the various groups of animals, in
each of which groups the specimens are arranged faunally; a system-
atic series; a series illustrating comparative anatomy and the osteology
of vertebrates; a series of domesticated animals; and a faunal series
for the District of Columbia. Of a supplementaiy nature are a num-
ber of special exhibits illustrating interesting phases in zoology and
noteworthy features of the collection.
The collections of the first subdivision occupy nearly two-thirds of
the entire area allotted to the department, including the west wing
and western section of the west range in the first story, and somewhat
more than one-half of the same wing in the second story, with an
aggregate of about 41,058 square feet of fioor space. The othet
subjects are all provided for in the second story, where some 6,633
square feet are assigned to comparative anatomy and osteology;
8,459 square feet, to the systematic collection; 2,640 square feet, to
the domestic animals; 1,724 square feet, to the faunal collection of
the District of Columbia; and 3,884 square feet, to the special exhibits.
General series.—This series has been planned and arranged to
illustrate for each group of animals or, in the case of the lower animals,
for assemblages of groups, the geographical distribution of forms or
types, which, imder the restrictions as to space, can in the main only
be carried out to the extent of showing the more important or more
characteristic forms of each region. With regard to North America,
however, the resources of the Musemn permit and the general inter-
ests demand a more complete and detailed representation. Six
primaiy regions have been recognized for the land animals, namely,
the nearctic, or North America; the neotropical, or Central and
South America; the palearctic, or northern and central Asia, all of
Europe, and Africa north of the Desert of Sahara; the Ethiopian,
or Africa south of the Sahara; the oriental, or India and the Malay
Archipelago; and the Australasian, including Australia, New Guinea,
and New Zealand.
The great majority of the specimens exhibited are mounted singly,
but in the case of some of the more important and remarkable forms
groups have been prepared, accompanied by accessories, to illustrate
features of the habits and environment of the species. In all the
preparations and especially those of recent years, it has been the
endeavor to produce only work of the highest standard, combining
scientific accuracy in reproducing form and pose with artistic sldll
in the manner of presentation. As a result, the collection contains
24 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
many examples of the taxidermist's art not surpassed elsewhere, and
some which are probably unequaled. There remains to be replaced
or made over, however, a certain amount of old material which has
been retained on display in order that the several series may not
present too many gaps.
Mammals.—The mammals occupy the entire first story of the west
wing except a small section in the north aisle, or a floor space of
22,112 square feet. The great skyUghted area contains the North
American fauna, and also a hmited number of forms from Central
and South America. Most conspicuous among the features of this
hall are 8 large groups representing the American bison, moose,
musk ox, pronghorn, barren-ground caribou, woodland caribou.
Rocky Mountain sheep, and Rocky Mountain goat. In cases against
the walls, mounted singly, are different species of bears, seals, and
ungulates. In the eastern part of the hall, that nearest the rotunda,
are shown many of the smaller carnivores, such as wolves, foxes, cats,
and skunks; small mustehds, such as the weasels and minks; an
exceptionally fine specimen of the Alaskan sea otter; a family of
badgers at their burrow; a number of the remarkable Texan arma-
dillo among characteristic desert vegetation; a large walrus from
Bering Sea; and sea lions and fur seals from Cahfornia and Alaska.
In the western part of the hall are the rodents, or .rabbits, squirrels,
mice, etc.; the insectivores, such as the shrews and moles ; the bats; a
group of prairie dogs near their burrow in company with a burrowing
owl; and a group of opossums at the root of a tree, under which their
rude nest is shown. Two wall and two small table cases at the
extreme end of this area contain the mammals of Central and South
America, a very incomplete series.
The palearctic fauna, which has been assigned the eastern part of
the north aisle to a distance of about 74 feet from the pavihon wall,
begins with a group of Spitzbergen polar bears, followed successively
by a fine specimen of the Mongolian tiger; many representatives of
the ungulates, such as the roebuck, the true elk or European moose,
the European bison, the chamois of the Alps, the rare and remarkable
Chinese antelope called the takin, and various wild sheep; and
numerous examples of the smaller carnivores, insectivores, and
rodents. Among the rodents is a series of various species of rats so
mounted as to clearly present the differences between the several
forms of these animals wliich have lately attracted so much attention
as carriers of the germs of bubonic plague.
The oriental series occupies a position and area in the south aisle
corresponding with those of the palearctic fauna in the north aisle.
It is adjoined by the Australasian series, limited to a single bay of 18^
feet, and this in turn is followed by the Ethiopian or African series,
which is continued into and fills the entire outer end of the wing,
EEPOET OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 25
with an aggregate of about 7,760 square feet of space. Most
prominent in the oriental series are three groups of monkeys mounted
in sections of tree tops of the forests of Borneo, the work of able
taxidermists by whom they also were collected, which guarantees
their truthfulness to nature. The largest group is of the orang-utan,
one of the most manlike of the great apes. The others are of the
long-armed gibbon, also usually referred to the anthropoid apes, and
the proboscis monkey, remarkable for its protruding nose. Belong-
ing hkewise to this faima are other oriental monkeys; several
ungulates, such as the tapir, antelope, and deer; a selected series of
Malayan squirrels; a number of carnivores, including a fine example
of the Indian tiger; a model of the Ganges dolphin, a large dugong or
sea cow, fruit bats, flying lemurs, the Indian pangolin, and charac-
teristic oriental rodents, including the large Malayan flying squirrels.
The region of Australasia is represented by numerous species of
kangaroo, the wombats, the marsupial wolf, the two echidnas, the
remarkable duckbill, and a specimen of the dingo or Australian dog.
The African mammals installed in the south aisle comprise wild
hogs, monkeys, including the anthropoid gorilla and chimpanzee,
lemurs, hyenas, jackals, and various large cats, the singular aardvark
or African anteater, and examples of the African pangolin or man is
and of insectivores. The most striking part of the African exhibi-
tion, however, is in the wide hall at the outer end of the wing, which
contams 5 groups of large and characteristic forms, the latest pro-
ductions of the taxidermist's art, illustrating to a marked degree
how effectively the very presence of great animals in their natural
habitat can be represented in permanent museum preparations. The
first of these groups consists of a family of hons, a male, two females
and two cubs, coming down to a water hole dug by zebras in a dry
river bed. Large as is the case containing this exhibit, it is gi-eatly
exceeded by the other four, each of which measures 17 feet by 12 feet
and requires for the sides the largest size of plate glass manufactured.
Next to the hon group comes that of the kongoni or Cooke's
hartebeest, comprising six individuals mounted in different attitudes
in the midst of characteristic surroundings, the earth and plants for
this purpose having been brought from the haunts of the species in
Africa. Third in the series is a superb presentation of the white
rhinoceros, male, female and calf, with accessories also from Africa,
which is followed by gi'oups of the water buffalo and Grevy's zebra,
the latter including two oryx antelopes, which are often associated
with the zebra in nature. The lion, buffalo, zebra and antelope
groups were prepared by Mr. G. B. Turner, chief taxidermist of the
Musemn; and those of the hartebeests and rhinoceri by Mr. James
L. Clark, of New York. The specimens used were selected from the
26 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
collection made in 1909 and 1910 by the Smithsonian African Expedi-
tion under the direction of Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
In wall cases partly surrounding the above exhibits is shown a great
variety of selected tyj^es of African antelopes, besides representatives
of other groups, includmg a young African elephant and a fine speci-
men of the nearly extinct BurcheU's zebra. The following are dis-
played separately, namely, a group of horse-tail monkeys from
Kilimanjaro, represented as playing among the foliage of a large tree;
a very large giraffe, too tall to be inclosed in glass; and a well-
preserved example of the recently discovered and very rare okapi, a
near relative of the giraffe and an inhabitant of the impenetrable
forests of the Belgian Congo.
Birds.—The exhibition of birds begins in the north aisle of the
west wing on the main floor, of which it occupies a length of about
92 feet, and is continued thence into and throughout the western
section of the west range a distance of 131 feet 4 inches, covering a
total floor area of 9,652 square feet. The whig contams the pale-
arctic, the oriental, and the African faunas. In the first mentioned
are such familiar European forms as the stork, lammergeier, bus-
tard, nightingale, true robin, true oriole, capercailzie, black grouse,
true partridge, and quail. A pair of Enghsh song thrushes with
their nest fuU of yomig constitutes a dainty piece of group-making,
and conspicuous in the series is a beautiful display of the various
Asiatic pheasants. Among the oriental birds are the grotesque
Indian " adj.utant," the wUd peacock, the wild jungle fowl, from which
our domestic breeds are supposed to have been derived, various horn-
bills, which are among the most characteristic of oriental birds, and
two showy groups, one of the rhinoceros bird, the other of the argus
pheasant. In the African series, which is as remarkable as the
oriental, are seen the diminutive love birds, the whydah finches
with their long, flowing tail feathers, the weaver birds, gorgeous
rollers, many parrots, the plantain eaters, the emerald cuckoos, the
sunbirds, a goatsucker with two remarkable appendages, wild
Guinea fowl, the crowned crane, the saddle-biUed stork, and the
sacred ibis. A bird rarely seen in museums, the large whale-headed
stork, which inhabits solely the country of the Upper Nile, is repre-
sented by two exceptionally fine specimens.
Entering the west range, one comes first upon the Australasian
series, which contains a great variety of splendidly colored birds.
Especially notable is a fine display of birds of paradise and of parrots.
Among other forms shown are the giant kingfisher, known as the
"laughing-jackass," the brush turkey, which places its eggs in
mounds of soil and decaying vegetation to be hatched without further
attention from the parents, the wonderful "crowned" pigeons from
New Guinea, the black swan, the cassowary, the emu, the kiwis of
;
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 27
New Zealand, and several species of penguins. The kea, or sheep-
eating parrots of New Zealand, and the lyre birds of Australia are
represented in two groups; and installed in a case by themselves are
the smaller passerine birds of Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii.
Next follows the neotropical or Central and South American fauna,
with a large assemblage of parrots, including the gorgeous macaws,
and of toucans, with their huge vari-colored bills. Other typical
forms are the quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala, with its
graceful, resplendent tail; the curassow and ocellated turkey, among
game birds ; the humming birds, of which there is a rich assortment
the black-necked swan and other water and shore birds, the curious
hoactzin, the condor, the rhea or South American ostrich, the tinamou,
and the penguin.
The last of the avian faunas, the nearctic or North American, is
allotted a much larger area than any of the others, aggregating 4,225
square feet, to permit of a fuller representation of the birds belong-
ing to this country, and, therefore, of most dii'ect interest to our own
people, and especially to students and amateurs, the plan being to
show as many of the species as possible, and to illustrate marked
differences when such occur in the appearance of the male, female,
and yoimg of the same species. An enumeration of the species
exhibited would be out of place here, but included among the rarer
forms and more striking features are the great auk and Labrador
duck, both of which are extinct; and the following mounted in groups,
namely, the passenger pigeon, of which only a single living specimen,
preserved in the Cincinnati Zoological Garden, is known; the Caro-
lina parrakeet which is nearing extinction, two hawks fighting over
a ruffed grouse, the American flamingoes and their nests, Mexican
ja^anas among water lilies, the butcher birds and their ''larder,"
the prairie chicken and sage hen, and the ruffed or dusky grouse.
Reptiles, hatrachians and fishes.—These groups occupy jointly a
space in the large hall at the outer end of the west wing in the second
story, measuring about 85 feet long by 46 feet 6 inches wide. The
fishes are installed in large wall cases on two sides of the hall and in a
few table cases, while the reptiles and batrachians are at present
wholly provided for in table cases. The most interesting part of
the exhibition of reptiles and batrachians is in the form of casts
made from fresh specimens and painted in excellent imitation of the
natural colors. The species so represented are mainly North Ameri-
can, with a few exotic ones, such as are occasionally brought here
alive and kept in captivity. Among tropical forms are the big
pythons and boas, the common cobra and the king cobra, the latter
two being considered the most deadly of all snakes. The exliibit
of foreign species is being rounded out by means of alcoholic speci-
mens, which are in course of preparation for the purpose. The
28 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
fishes are shown in the same way as the reptiles, the collection of
casts representing a wide range of forais. Most of the casts are
placed against wall surfaces in the backs of cases, but the flounders
are displayed on a sandy bottom in table cases. A special feature
consists of a series of enlarged models of deep-sea fishes of extraor-
dinary appearance, such as the grotesque pelican fish with its
enormous mouth, the viper fish with its protruding fangs, the angler
with its light-emitting bulb, and the luminous fish, conspicuous in
having numerous phosphorescent spots along the body. The only
group so far introduced is one of the so-called walking fishes which
are represented as skipping about by means of their pectoral fins
on the mud flat of a mangrove swamp.
Invertebrates.—The faunal display of marine and other inverte-
brates has beeii assigned the south haU in the second story of the
west wing, which measures 169 feet 7 inches long by 31 feet 6 inches
wide. As the exhibit is being built up whoUy anew and will con-
tain a large number of specimens prepared in a manner not previously
attempted, the work upon the collection has, of necessity, advanced
much more slowly than in any of the other sections. It is stUI in a
very incomplete state, but by the introduction of certain temporary
installations the hall has been made sufficiently presentable to warrant
its being kept open to visitors. As regards marine invertebrates,
the scheme contemplates the illustration of a number of distinct
littoral faunal regions, and of the deep sea, by characteristic forms
belonging to the various groups of animals which inhabit them,
to be supplemented by group assemblages in which relationships
and environment can be more definitely demonstrated. The Httoral
faunas with which most progress has been made are three in number,
namely, from the Arctic Ocean to Cape Cod, from Cape Cod to Cape
Hatteras, and the Floridian.
Vertebrate osteology and comparative anatomy.—^The collections
illustrating these subjects occupy the entire length of the north side
of the west wing in the second story, an area 216 feet long by 31 feet
2 inches wide. The osteological series is, in its purpose, most nearly
akin to, and may, in fact, be regarded as a part of, the systematic
collection in the adjoining range. It represents only selected exam-
ples of supergeneric types with no attempt at showing specific differ-
ences, and, notwithstanding the difficulty of exhibiting skeletons
in a manner attractive to the pubhc, it is felt that the installation
has been made especially effective and instructive.
In the passageway between the wing and the range are the mounted
skeletons of a horse and a man, labeled to bring out the homologies
of the bones in these very dissimilar species. In the middle of the
adjacent space is a series of skeletons of the primates, showing the
differences and similarities in the bony structure of the various groups
EEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 29
from the most generalized types to the orang, chimpanzee, gorUla,
and man. At the western end of the hall are skeletons of carnivores,
pinnipeds and small whales, followed by those of other mammal
groups, noteworthy among which are the Asiatic and African ele-
phants, the giraffe and the American bison. Provision has been
made for suspending the skeletons of whales of medium size from the
ceiling, but for the skeletons of large species accommodations must
be found elsewhere. After the mammals come the birds, reptiles,
batracliians and fishes, completing the systematic series. Notable
among these are the skeletons of snakes, beautiful in their curvature
and repetition of uniform detail, and the cartilaginous skeletons of
certain fishes, which require to be displayed in a preserving fluid.
Next, in a single case, is illustrated the comparative skeletal anatomy
of the vertebrate classes by means of the articulated and disarticu-
lated skeletons of a fish, a tailed amphibian, a frog, a lizard, a turtle,
a bird, a monotreme and a mammal. At the eastern end of the haU
are several cases of anatomical representations in the form of prepar-
ations from the animal body itself and of finely executed models.
The collection ends with an illustration of the chemical constituents
of animal bodies.
Systematic series.—Beginning at its juncture with the west wing,
this series extends through the western section of the west range
and some 90 feet into the northern section. It does not, however,
occupy the entire width of the range, as the space between the line
of piers and the court walls is used for special topics. The total
floor area devoted to the subject is about 8,460 square feet.
This collection is designed to present a general review or synopsis
of the animal kingdom, arranged in systematic sequence from the
lower to the higher groups. The family is the lowest subdivision
recognized, one species being used for each, except where great
variety of form exists within the family, when some of the more
divergent types are added. With the vertebrates, except some of
the lowest forms, the representation is restricted to external form
and characters, the internal parts being elucidated by the anatomical
coUection above described. With the invertebrates, however, the
complete structure, so far as it is brought out in any part of the
exhibition, is illustrated in this series. A wide diversity of method
for the representation of forms has been caUed for. Preparations
of the animals themselves have been utilized to the fullest extent
possible and compose the great bulk of the collection. For the
minute forms and for such larger ones as are still among the desid-
erata of the Museum, recourse has been had to models and drawings.
For some of the largest vertebrates of which it is impracticable to
display full-grown specimens, young individuals or pictures have
been substituted. The whales have presented the greatest diffi-
30 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
culties and the few species so far included in the series are illustrated
by means of casts and models.
Domestic animals.—A full demonstration of all the races of ani-
mals that have been produced by domestication would require a
veiy much greater extent of floor space than could be spared for
that subject, and such a display, moreover, is not mthin the purpose
of the Museum exhibition. In an area of about 2,640 square feet
adjoming the systematic series, however, an attempt is being made
to illustrate some of the more remarkable results of man's inter-
ference \v\i\i the natural evolution of animals, though even within
the limitation fixed the series is still very incomplete. The collection
includes a number of skeletons designed to show that the modifica-
tions following domestication are not solety confined to external
characters, and specimens of the wild stock where such is known
have been or will be introduced.
Among birds the domestic fowl is most prominently represented,
many breeds, though not nearly all that are recognized by fanciers,
being exhibited. Though prepared several years ago and requiring
to be ampHfied, the collection as it is furnishes a good idea of the
range of variation that has been produced, and includes many
specimens that were awarded premiums at important shows. It is
partly installed in a group arrangement with surroundings in imita-
tion of a barnyard, and partly as individual specimens on shelves.
The turkey and peafowl are also represented, as are many breeds
of the common pigeon, the latter being centered about a dovecot.
Of mammals comparatively few forms are at present shown, among
these being the horse, dog, sheep, goat, two forms of Asiatic cattle,
namely, the yak and the zebu or Indian ox, and three representatives
of the camel family, the llama, the alpaca and the Arabian camel.
Fauna of the District of Columbia.—The local faunal exhibit, the
last of the regular biological series, still only in process of formation,
is allotted 1,724 square feet of floor space at the eastern end of the
northern section of the west range, where it adjoms the north wmg.
It is planned to make this collection of particular mterest to the
local students of biology and an important aid to the teaching of
zoology in the District schools. Every species of animal living in
the District of Columbia is intended to be represented by at least a
single specimen, and also such former habitants, as the game birds,
which have been driven from the region through the agency of man.
The groups in which more or less progress has already been made are
the mammals, birds, reptiles and batrachians, fishes and mollusks.
Special exhibits.—For the special zoological features provision has
been made in the space mten^'ening between the row of large rectan-

Measuring about 17^ feet wide, this space is divided by the piers into

successive bays each about 18^ feet across, furnishing appropriate
dimensions for these several exhibits. As little material had been
prepared for them before the occupation of the building, they will
remain in a formative stage for some time yet, though in several
subjects the installations are sufficiently advanced to be opened to
the public. These are as follows: The eggs and nests of birds, animal
architecture, phases of evolution, mimicry, albinism, melanism, the
cotton boll weevil, and the distribution of the Rocky Mountain
grasshopper. Another special exhibition already fully installed
consists of the beautiful collection of corals secured by the United
States Exploring Expedition around the World from 1838 to 1842,
under command of Lieut, (afterwards Rear Admiral) Charles Wilkes,
U. S. Navy, comprising a large share of the type specimens described
by James D. Dana in his classic work on the subject.
GEOLOGY.
The exhibition collections of the department of geology are classi-
fied and arranged under four general heads, namely, systematic
geology, mineralogy, applied geology and paleontology.
Systematic geology.—Systematic or physical and chemical geology
occupies the eastern section of the east range in the first story to a
distance of 131 feet 4 inches from the adjoining wing, with a floor
area of approximately 6,769 square feet. First in order come the
rock or petrological exhibits, installed m 1 wall and 5 upright floor
cases. They begin with a series of the more common elements found
in either a free or combined state in the rocks forming any essential
feature of the earth's crust; are followed by a series of the ordmary
rock-forming minerals representing the combinations of these ele-
ments, and these, in turn, by a series illustrating all the common
rock types in the form of hand specimens about 3^ by 4h inches in
lateral dimensions. Supplementing these mtroductory collections
are several series showing the changes which rock masses have under-
gone through chemical and dynamic agencies, such as crushing,
faulting, and the various phases of metamoi-phism. They are con-
tained in 7 upright floor cases of double-unit size, and are classified
as follows: Rock weathering, glacial jihenomena, concretions, faults
and other structural forms, calcareous and siliceous sinter, cave
phenomena and other iUustrations of cold water deposition, vol-
canoes and volcanic phenomena, deep-sea dredgings and minor
geological phenomena.
Constituting an especially interestuig featm-e of the hall are the
meteorites, which, while properly classed as rocks, are kept apart as
illustrating world-making materials. The collection fills 1 large and
2 smaU cases, and an especially large example is mounted on a separate
base. It numbers 713 specimens, represediting 321 falls, and ranks

third among museum collectioris in this comitry, being exceeded only
by those in the Field Museum of Natural History and the American
Museum of Natural History, while abroad it is surpassed only by the
collections in the British Museum and the museum of natural history
at Vienna. Also installed in this hall is the Shepard collection of
meteorites, comprising 464 specimens, representing 237 falls, which
has been on deposit m the Museum for some years.
Writing upon the subject, Dr. George P. Merrill has remarked that
the interest in this collection is partly geological and partly astronomi-
cal. It is now generally understood that whatever theory one may
accept regarding world formation, for the materials of which the world
is formed one must look to outside sources—that is, to space. While
astronomy and the spectroscope have shown a close similarity, if not
identity, in Idnds of materials throughout the universe, the meteorites
after all give the only really tangible clue to the stony nature of
celestial bodies. Their study with particular reference to their
efficiency as world-making material is, therefore, peculiarly instruc-
tive, and it is greatly to be deplored that their rarity and the fasciaa-
tion attached to them by reason of their source has caused them to
be sought by those who are mere collectors, and has so forced their
prices as almost to prohibit their use in scientific research.
Mineralogy.—The collections of mineralogy and apphed geology
occupy jointly the entire second story of the east wing. Mineralogy,
however, is confined to the haU on the south side of the light weU,
measuring 169 feet 7 inches long by 31 feet 6 inches Avide and furnish-
ing 5,342 square feet of floor space. The installation comprehends
three series of exhibits. The first is a systematic one, in which an
attempt is made to show all the known mineral species, which are
arranged according to the classification of E. S. Dana, in his "System
of IVIineralogy," in 14 American cases along the north side of the haU.
The second consists of specimens of the same nature, less systemati-
cally arranged, but notable for their beauty and exceptional size,
which latter prevents their incorporation in the systematic series.
It is mainly displayed in 9 upright floor cases on the south side of the
haU, and conspicuous among its features are illustrations of the
occurrence in nature of siHca and carbonate of lime. A group of
Brazilian amethysts, a large beryl from Ackworth, N. H., and a
copper bowlder from Ontonagon, Mich., are mounted on bases, and
contained in a small case is an exhibit of such nongaseous elements
as occur uncombuied in natm'e.
The third series in the mineral hall consists of the gems and precious
stones composing what is known as the Isaac Lea Collection, which
ranks second among the pubhc collections of its kind in this country.
It had its beginning in an exhibit of precious stones made by the
National Museum at the Cincinnati and New Orleans expositions in
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 33
1884-S5, was added to by the purchase of the Leidy collection of gems
in 1894, and was later very materially increased through the acquisi-
tion, by bequest, of the important collection of Dr. Isaac Lea, of
Philadelphia. Since then its growth has been fairly rapid and sys-
tematic, owLQg largely to the generous cooperation of the late Rev. Dr.
L. T. Chamberlam, son-in-law of Dr. Lea and an honorary associate
of the Museum. The collection is installed in a series of flat-top
cases, of new and exceptionally pleasing pattern, which extends
through the center of the hall. It bears the same relation to the
systematic collection of minerals as does the collection of building
and ornamental stones to that of systematic geology, and has naturally
proved to be one of the most popular of all the exhibits. An effort
has been made to represent all the more common gems and precious
stones with special reference to those occurring in North America.
The specimens are largely in cut and pohshed form, ready for use. In
extending the exhibit it is planned, so far as possible, to show the
unworked material side by side with the cut, in order that the pubHc
may become acquainted with the appearance of the different varieties
in their natural state. It is also intended to give special attention to
the possible utilization for ornamental j^mposes of certain stones
which are in themselves of Uttle commercial value, and this has
already been done to good advantage in a series of cabochons cut
from fossil wood. Among the more unique and striking specimens
in the collection are a large, rich green, briUiant cut tourmaline
weighing 57|- carats, from Paris, Me.; sapphires and rubies from the
now abandoned Jenls corundum mine in North CaroKna; a 15-carat
cut emerald from Portland, Conn.; and a series of cut hiddenites
from Alexander County, N. C.
As introductory to and grading into the province of economic geol-
ogy, there is installed at the outer end of the hall a selected series of
the rocks and minerals from the diamond mines of South Africa, the
gift of Mr. Gardner F. Wilhams, and another of gold nuggets and
crystals, each displayed in a single case. The large copper bowlder
above referred to is also placed here.
Applied geology.—The space devoted to economic or applied geology
is the north hall and outer end of the east wing in the second story,
amounting to 10,585 square feet. The classification is here also in
three series, first, the metalHc ores, such as those of gold, silver, copper,
etc.; second, the nonmetalHc minerals; and, third, the building and
ornamental stones. The metallic and nonmetalHc exhibits are con-
tained in 5 double and 10 single-unit upright floor cases and 15
American cases. They are planned to show, as far as possible, typical
material with reference to both geological and geographical distribu-
tion, and, as at present installed, they are believed to be second to none
in the country in completeness and systematic arrangement.
34 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
The collection of building and ornamental stones owes its concep-
tion to Dr. George W. Hawes, curator of geology in the Museum dur-
ing the last year and a half of his life, who undertook, in connection
with the work of the Tenth Census, a systematic study of the building
stone resources of the United States, the results of which were pub-
lished in one of the reports of that Census. Since then every effort
has been made to keep the collection up to date, and it is believed now
to fairly represent all of the kinds of building and ornamental stones
obtainable in the country, and also the more important materials of
the same nature which are imported from abroad. It comprises at
present 2,548 specimens, mostly in the form of 4-inch cubes, which
are installed in 18 floor upright cases specially designed for the pur-
pose. In addition to these there are 13 rectangular bases or pedestals,
with stone panels and tops, for the exhibition of certain materials of
which it was desirable to have larger samples than could be incor-
porated in the regidar systematic series. In connection mth the
building up of this collection as complete records as possible have been
kept of the tests made upon the varieties of stone represented by the
samples, and of the weathering and other qualities of building stones
in general, making the collection of extreme usefulness in respect to
all industries with which it may have relations.
Paleontology.—The paleontological collections have entire posses-
sion of the main story in the east wing, in wliich paleobotany occupies
the north aisle, 151 feet long by 31 feet 8 inches wide, with 4,782 square
feet of floor space; the fossil invertebrates, the southern side of the
wing to a distance of about 198 feet from the pavihon and a width of
31 feet 11 inches, with 6,320 square feet of floor space; and the fossil
vertebrates, the large skyUghted area and most of the outer end of
the wing, with 13,893 square feet of floor space.
The exhibition in paleobotany comprises a stratigraphical series of
specimens illustrating all the important plant-bearing horizons, and a
number of special features. The Carboniferous material, derived from
the Lacoe bequest, is especially notable for the number, large size and
splendid preservation of the specimens. The Mesozoic and Cenozoic
plants are less well represented, but this condition will be remedied
with the progress of the work of the Geological Survey in the western
coal fields. The interest of the pubUc in these natural wonders has
led to the introduction of a case of petrified wood from the fossil forest
of Arizona, the Yellowstone National Park and other locaUties, and
many of the specimens have been poHshed to bring out their rich
coloring. A number of large tree trunks and other exhibits have been
arranged between the cases; the south wall has been partly utilized
for enlarged drawings and specimens, and a large, very primitive
Devonian tree, and an exceptionally large and fine example of a Car-
boniferous Lepidodendron have been mounted against the west wall.
KEPORT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 55
The exhibition iii invertebrate paleontology begins with a large
mount showing a Cambrian sea beach, with numerous ripple marks
and animal tracks crossing the sandstone. Large slabs illustrating
the various types of near-shore sedimentation with their contained
fossil remains, and colonies of Cretaceous, Devonian, and Mississippian
crinoids, further represent the occurrence of ancient hfe; while the
superposition of various rock formations is shown by means of a
geological column of the strata found in New Hampshire. A case of
specimens from the Middle Cambrian deposits near Field, British
Columbia, serves to demonstrate both the significance of a fossil
fauna and the perfection of preservation sometimes obtaining
among fossil forms. Next are illustrated the general methods of
fossilization and the usual conditions of preservation of fossils,
followed by a number of cases devoted to the evolution of all the
important groups of fossil invertebrates. The very rare medusae,
the crinoids and the insects are especially well represented in this
series, though in no group is the material scanty. For the student
of geology a stratigraphic series of the common and characteristic
fossils of the various geological horizons of North America, accom-
panied by hand specimens of the characteristic rocks of each forma-
tion, occupies an adapted form of American case which extends
uninterruptedly along the north wall. Mounted directly above
this exhibit is a continuous geological section across the American
continent on a scale of 2 miles to the inch, and measuring 90 feet
long. Lack of space has prevented the introduction of collections
illustrating geographical distribution in any detail, the only exception
in this regard being the I. H. Harris collection from the widely-known
Cincinnati region, which is displayed in 2 cases.
On account of their great variation in size, it has not been feasible
to arrange the exhibits in vertebrate paleontology as systematically
as in the two other sections of the division. In a general way,
however, the western half of the large hall has been mainly allotted
to the larger mammals, and the eastern part to the reptiles and birds.
Occupying the center of the floor, immediately after entering from
the rotunda, is the restored skeleton of an immense whale-like
creature, popularly known as the zeuglodon (Basilosaurus) , which
inhabited the seas of the southern coastal plain of the United States
in early Tertiary times. While numerous fragments of the bones
of this animal have been found, the specimen on exhibition is the
most perfect one known. To the right and left, respectively, of the
zeuglodon, are quite complete skeletons of the American mastodon
{Mammut americanum) from the peat bogs of Michigan, and the
giant deer (Alee gigantea), commonly termed the Irish elk, from
the Pleistocene clays of Ireland. Series of smaller specimens are
arranged in cases and framed mountings along the walls, among them
36 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
being illustrations of the evolution of the horse and many forms of
fishes. In the center of the eastern part of the skyUghted hall
is the large, unique, three-horned duiosaur {Triceratops prorsus),
of which the skull alone measures 6 feet long. Mounted upright
against the adjacent walls are two other exceptionally fine specimens
of dinosaurs, besides an example of the duck-billed reptile, Trachodon
annectens, over 26 feet long, and a skeleton of the carnivorous reptile,
Ceratosaurus nasicomis, of almost equal size. Another exhibit of
special interest consists of the skeleton of the large armoured dinosaur
Stegosaurus stenops, accompanied by a full-sized model representing
this reptile as it appeared in Hfe. In the eastern part of the wing
are exliibited the extmct birds, of which the toothed Hesperornis
from the chalk deposits of Kansas and the giant moa are especially
noteworthy.
OPERATIONS OF THE YEAR.
APPROPRIATIONS.
The appropriations for the maintenance and operations of the
National Museum for the year covered by this report, namely, from
July 1, 1912, to June 30, 1913, inclusive, contained in the sundry
civil act approved August 24, 1912, were as follows:
Preservation of collections $300, 000
Furniture and fixtures 50, 000
Heating and lighting 50, 000
Building repairs 10, 000
Purchase of books 2, 000
Postage 500
Printing and binding 34, 000
Total 446, 500
The sundry civil act approved June 23, 1913, makes the followdng
provisions for the year ending June 30, 1914:
Preservation of collections $300, 000
Furniture and fixtures 50, 000
Heating and lighting 50, 000
Building repaks 10, 000
Purchase of books 2, 000
Postage 500
Printing and binding 37, 500
Total 450, 000
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT.
The most important repau* work of the year consisted in further
remedying certain defects in the roofs of the new building, to which
attention was called in the last report. The remainder of the inse-
cure copper cresting, amounting to about 736 running feet, was
refastened in what is regarded as a thoroughly satisfactory manner,
and some 1,524 lineal feet of the damaged copper gutters were
replaced with the best quality of tin, which it is confidently expected
will be lasting. The repairs to the older Museum building were
mostly in the interior. The ceihngs in this structure consist mainly
of wooden lathing attached to the under side of the roofs and filled
in with plaster which has gradually disintegrated and from time to
time has fallen in such quantities as to menace the collections. A
covering of thin sheet steel has proved the best and most economical
37

remedy for this condition, and during last year the ceUings over all
or parts of four halls were so treated. Some of the walls were also
pointed up and painted, and the renovation of the toilet rooms,
begun the previous year, was completed. In the Smithsonian build-
ing the many large windows in the main or exhibition story, which
have received but slight attention for many years, were found to be
so dilapidated as to necessitate the entire renewal of 45 of the sashes
and the extensive overhauling of the others. The roofs required
some repairs, and the west basement of the building, formerly occu-
pied by the alcoholic collections, was partly renovated, though its
floors, which are badly rotted, have still to be replaced.
The power plant was operated satisfactorily and with comparatively
few repairs. As in the previous year, it was closed down during two
months of the summer, July and August, for overhauling, the work
being done by Museum employees and such electric current as was
required being purchased from the local power company at greatly
reduced rates. The consumption of coal amounted to 2,660 tons,
and steam was generated for heating purposes from October 1, 1912,
to May 17, 1913. Improvements made in the distributing pipes to
the older buildings are expected to result in a much more economical
service. It is also interesting to note that in the production of ice
by the plant introduced for that purpose three years ago a saving
has already been effected which exceeds the original cost of the
plant. Among new mechanical features added were a central air
compressor plant for more economically furnishing power for certain
minor purposes, and three thermostats for automatically regulating
the temperature in the auditorium. The installation of devices for
automatically opening and closing the doors on the north passenger
elevators was begun, though not completed, before the close of the
year.
Electric-lighting fixtures were added in places not heretofore
permanently provided with them as foUows: A circular Frink
mirror reflector, carrying 56 40-watt tungsten lamps, above the eye
of the ceiling dome of the rotunda; a series of 24 suspended fixtures
in the second gallery of the south paviUon; and a system of low con-
cealed lamps in the upper gallery of the pavihon, with reflectors
arranged to throw the light upward against the walls and ceihngs.
Before the end of the year a contract had been concluded for fur-
nishing 8 bronze electric-Ught standards to be placed at the corners
of the pier balconies at the height of the first gallery for the general
illummation of the rotunda; and the work of replacing the drinking-
water faucets in the pubUc halls with sanitary bubbling fountains
had been commenced.
The furniture acquired during the year comprised 192 exhibition
cases, 256 storage cases and pieces of laboratoiy furniture, 271 pieces
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 39
of office and miscellaneous furniture, 1,585 unit specimen drawers
of wood, 500 insect drawers, and 1,061 miscellaneous specimen
drawers. An inventory of all furniture at the close of the year shows
that there were on hand at that time 3,414 exhibition cases, 6,616
storage cases and pieces of laboratory furniture, 3,270 pieces of office
and miscellaneous furniture, 37,660 unit specimen drawers of wood,
4,712 unit specimen drawers of steel, 7,839 insect drawers, and
16,024 miscellaneous specimen drawers and boxes of various sizes.
COLLECTIONS.
The total number of accessions received during the year was
1,378, embracing as permanent acquisitions approximately 302,132
specimens and objects, apportioned among the several branches of
the Museum as^foUows: Anthropology, 26,999; zoology, 113,509;
botany, 140,015; geology, 5,569; paleontology, 14,716; textiles and
vegetable products, 1,312; National Gallery of Art, 12 paintings.
Of the specimens assigned to anthropology over 20,000 were postage
stamps belonging in the division of history; and of zoological speci-
mens over 97,000 were insects, mollusks, and other invertebrates.
The loans received for exhibition comprised several hundred objects,
principally historical and ethnological, but including 18 paintings
and 2 pieces of sculpture for the National Gallery of Art.
DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY.
Ethnology.—The additions to the division of ethnology were com-
prised in 64 accessions, more than one-haK of which were donations,
and while none of these was extensive, several were especially
valuable and the more important related to countries other than
North America. A noteworthy collection made in the Philippine
Islands by the late Maj. Gen. Frederick D. Grant, U. S. Army, consist-
ing of swords, spears, bows and arrows, and other articles, several of
which are of types new to the Museum, was presented by Mrs. Grant;
and an interesting series of FiUpino weapons and other objects,
assembled by the late Maj. H. G. Lyon, U. S. Army, was contributed
by -Mrs. Lyon. A number of articles illustrating the culture of the
Central Sakai, a primitive tribe of the Batang Padang District of
Perak, Federated Malay States, including bark cloth, bamboo arrows,
personal ornaments, etc., were received as a gift from the Federated
Malay States Museums at Kuala Lumpur. A Japanese lady's court
dress, a Chinese lady's dress, and a Norwegian peasant's bridal dress,
together with the manikins for their display and the ornaments
appropriate to be worn with the costumes, were donated by Miss
Clementina Furniss, of New York; and a collection of India shawls
and scarfs in needlework and print, Chinese and Japanese arms and

armor, lacquers, fans, etc., was presented by Miss Isabel C. Freeman
and Mrs. B. H. Buckingham, of Washington, A sacred fire-drill of
wood, used in the Idzumo shrine of the great Idzumo Temple of Japan,
was received from Baron Senge ol the Temple through Mr. N. Tsuda,
directorial assistant of the Imperial Museum of Tokyo. A series of
specimens from the Guayaki Indians of Paraguay was contributed
by Mr. Frederick C. Mayntzhusen, of Yaguarazapa, Paraguay; and a
number of interesting weapons from East Africa were received from
Dr. W. L. Abbott, through Miss Gertrude Abbott, of Pliiladelphia.
For four Aleutian baskets of a t}^e which is becoming rare the division
was indebted to Mrs. L. C. Fletcher, of Washington.
The most important collection purchased was one representing the
industries, now rapidly disappearing, of the Chippewa Indians of
IVIinnesota, which had been assembled by Mss Frances Densmore.
It comprises examples of looms and textile materials for making
belts and bags, of tools and materials for working in bark and rushes,
with specimens of the finished work, and of tools and tanned skins
used in leather work, besides rattles and other ceremonial para-
phernalia, an old birch-bark record, and a series of articles illustrating
the maple sugar industry. Among other purchases were costumes,
basketry, pottery, agricultural implements, and games of the Mohave
Indians of Arizona; two women's buckskin dresses, profusely orna-
mented, together with a number of tools and other articles from the
tribes of northern California; and numerous objects, including rare
examples of sacred bundles, obtained through the help of members of
the Bureau of American Ethnology. Especiall}^ valuable w^as a large
series of objects, consisting of costumes, pouches, necklaces and other
pereonal ornaments, clubs, flutes, and baskets, collected by Mr. John
Ogilvie among the Indians in the interior of Dutch Guiana, South
America, where white men have rarely penetrated, and showing
no trace of extraneous influence.
The more noteworthy loans for exhibition comprised basketry,
beadwork, etc., principally of the North American Indians, from
Mrs. L. C. Fletcher; old scrapes of beautiful weave, woven bags, and
Mexican ecclesiastical objects, crosses, rehquaries, amulets, paintipgs,
etc., from Maj. Harry S. Bryan, of Mexico City; ancient oriental
weapons, including sabers, scimiters, swords, yataghans, daggers,
pistols, and guns, from Mr. George Kennan ; and an interesting addi-
tion to the collection of Mrs. Julian James, consisting of numerous
oriental and other weapons and fabrics, fans, brocades, satins, bas-
ketry, ornaments, photographs, musical instruments, and lacquer and
tortoise-sheU work, which had in part been assembled by Theodorus
Bailey Myers, of New York, and Lieut. Commander T. B. M. Mason,
U. S. Navy, and Mrs. Mason. Mrs. JuUan James also presented a
number of fuie India shawls.
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 41
Excellent progress was made toward completing the installation of
the exhibition series. Cases were constructed for and await the final
preparation of lay figures for three new family groups and the re-
modeling of five old groups. Among special features added were a
FiHpino family group and two costumed figures representing a
Chinese and a Japanese lady. The Haida house front was removed
from the older Museum building, and its totem post installed at the
southern end of the middle hall, the slabs being temporarily placed
in storage; and models of the pueblo of Oraibi, the Zuni Mission church
and a Kiva at Jemez, N. Mex., were repaired. Constant attention
was paid to the protection of specimens from insect pests, whose
ravages have been practically held in check, and the entire collection
of the division is reported in good condition.
The curator of the division. Dr. Walter Hough, completed for pub-
lication his report on the culture of the ancient Pueblos of the Upper
Gila River in Arizona and New Mexico, based on the collection pro-
cured by him on the Museum-Gates expedition of 1905. He also
began an investigation preliminary to the preparation of a descriptive
catalogue of the pueblo collections in the Museum, and continued his
studies on heating and illumination and other subjects.
Prehistoric archeology.—A large amount of material from the shell
heaps of Maine, including all the orduiary implements and utensils of
the shoreland tribes of New England, in stone, bone, and clay, collected
in 1896 by Frank Hamilton Cushing for the Bureau of American
Ethnology, was transferred to the Museum duiing last year. Two
important collections were received on permanent deposit from the
Carnegie Institution of Washington. The first, made by Mr. J. D.
McGuire, comprises, among other relics, broken and spht bones of
animals and birds, stone and bone implements, worked antlers, and
fragments of pottery, from a cave at Cavetown, Md.; breccia con-
tainmg bones and flint flakes, hammerstones, arrowheads, and frag-
ments of pottery from Hartman's Cave, Stroudsburg, Pa, ; and ham-
merstones, chipped blades, arrowpoints, fragments of pottery, and
human bones from a mound near Downsville, Va. The other, ob-
tained by Mr. Gerard Fowke, consists of material from an aboriguial
quarry site in Carter County, Ky.
Among the gifts received were a series of typical Carib stone axes
and celts from Guadeloupe Island, West Indies, presented by Mr.
Frederick T. F, Dumont, American consul at Madrid, Spain; a small
earthenware vessel with incised decoration from a burial mound in
Frankhn Pansh, La., two large and exceptionally handsome earthen-
ware vessels from the Red River region of Arkansas, and a large pot-
tery vessel of red ware with incised decoration from a burial site in
Lafayette County, Ark,, donated by Mr. Clarence B. Moore, of Phila-
delphia; several stone axes and a tufa ring from a compomid near
42 REPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
Phoenix, Ariz., contributed by Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, of the Bureau of
American Ethnology; and an ancient pueblo black-and-white-ware
vase of large size from near Holbrook, Ariz., presented by Dr. Walter
Hough. A number of stone and wooden implements from an ancient
copper mine on an island off the coast of Chile were obtained in ex-
change; and a collection of Mexican antiquities, including several
statuettes of stone, a palmate sculptured stone, and a large orna-
mental vase of earthenware, was acquired by purchase. Many pre-
historic objects, mainly from the Valley of Mexico, were lent by Maj.
Harry S. Bryan.
The work of the year was m continuation of the classification,
arrangement and labeling of the collections of the division, which had
been thoroughly overhauled following their transfer from the Smithso-
nian building, the improvement of the tentative exhibits already in
place, and the addition of new installations as material was made
ready 'and cases were supplied. While much still remains to be done
in the exliibition halls, the display collections were in very satisfactory
condition at the close of the year.
The head curator of the department, Mr. William H. Holmes,
continued the preparation of the comprehensive handbook of Amer-
ican archeology, which has claimed his attention for several years
past. Although based primarily on the resources of this division,
the collections of var—ious other museums are also being utilized.Historic archeology. ^The scope of this division has recently been
enlarged to include the prehistoric as well as historic archeology of
the Old World. The most noteworthy accession was a collection
of Egyptian antiquities, ranging in date from predynastic times to
the twenty-sixth dynasty and including, among other objects, a
series of interesting potteries, a fine slate palette and other articles
of stone, presented by the Egypt Exploration Fund through Mr. S.
W. Woodward, of Washington, a contributor to the Fund. A large
number of Greco-Roman and Egyptian antiquities, including a rare
glass vase, probably of Roman origin, some well-preserved bronze
vessels, Egyptian necklaces, and bronze and stone figiu-ines of divini-
ties and their symbols, was received as a loan from Dr. Thomas
Nelson Page. A rare and pecuharly carved vase of agalmatolite
from Mongolia was contributed by Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, of the Museum
staff, and 19 worked stone flakes from Palestine were donated by
Mr. Herbert E. Clark, of the Jaffa Gate, Jerusalem. Among other
acquisitions were a collection of neolithic stone implements from
Oboiu-g, Belgimn, and several stone implements from Deir el-Bahari,
Egypt, received from Dr. W. Rehlen, of Niii-nberg, Germany; sev-
eral casts of prehistoric stone implements from Croatia found asso-
ciated with the skeleton of the "Krapina man," received from Dr.
Gorjanovic-Ea^amberger, of the National Museum, Zagreb, Croatia,
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 43
Austria; and a nuinber of stone implements from South Africa,
presented by Mr. Albert Talken, through Mr. W. A. Haygood,
American consul at Cape Province, South Africa. Thirty-one speci-
mens, including casts of stone implements, animal bones, etc., from
the caverns of Taubach, Germany, were obtained in exchange from
the Stadtisches Museum of Weimar, Germany.
The study and installation of the collections of stone implements
and associated reUcs of other classes chiefly engaged the attention of
Dr. I. M. Casanowicz, assistant curator of the division. An inventory
of this extensive and important section of the division was com-
menced as a preUminary to the preparation of a card catalogue and
of labels, and to a definite arrangement as soon as the necessary cases
become available. In the Egyptian section of the exhibition series
one special case, one Kensington case, and the Kosetta Stone were
installed; and to the BibUcal section were added a screen holding a
rehef map of Palestine, the Siloam and Temple inscriptions and 26
geographical and ethnograpliical photogravures of Palestine. A cast
of the heroic Head of David by Michelangelo and a model of the
Parthenon were also placed on exhibition.
Physical anthropology.—During an investigation in Asia, Dr.
Ale§ Hrdhcka, curator of the division, secured 205 MongoHan and 14
Buriat skidls, with other bones, constituting a collection the counter-
part of which does not exist elsewhere, and which, owing to rapidly
changing conditions, it would be very difficult to dupUcate. The
more noteworthy gifts received were as follows: Seventeen skulls
and a skeleton from mounds in Ai'kansas and Louisiana, from Mr.
Clarence B. Moore; casts of the Mauer or Heidelberg jaw, from Prof.
Dr. Otto Schoetensack, of Heidelberg University, Germany; a num-
ber of casts of skeletal remains of the ancient man from Krapina,
from Prof. Dr. Gorjanovic-Kramberger, of Zagreb, Croatia; a large
number of photographs of Sudanese Negroes, from Dr. C. G.
Sehgmann, of London, England; and the mummy of a Peruvian
child showing in situ the band by which its head was being deformed,
from Dr. Carlos Morales Macedo, of Lima, Peru. Eighteen Hindu
and Polynesian skulls were received in exchange from the British
Museum of Natural History; and casts of 10 skulls, with lower jaws,
of Siberian natives from Prof. J. Talko-Hryncewicz, of KJrakow,
GaUcia. Mention may also be made of an extensive collection
obtained by the curator on an expedition to Peru, but which did not
reach Washington in time to be overhauled and accessioned before
the close of the year.
The curator was absent from Washington during a considerable
part of the year, conducting field investigations in several distant
countries. Work upon the collections was carried on, however, as
opportunity permitted, and the segregation of material was continued
44 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
having in view the presentation, in the form of exliibits, of the fol-
lowing subjects: Human evolution and man's antiquity; the con-
nection of present man anatomically, on a basis of certain important
characters, with his early ancestors and even earHer forms; the nor-
mal variation in all parts of the skeleton of present man; aboriginal
surgery and diseases pecuUar to the American aborigines; and human
and animal brains.
The principal studies by Dr. Hrdhcka related to early man in the
Old World and to the origin of the American race. A report on the
former subject is in preparation, while a preliminary paper on the
latter appeared duiing the year in the Smithsonian Miscellaneous
Collections. Unfinished investigations mentioned in the last report
were also continued.
Mechanical technology.—A valuable loan collection of military
weapons and other articles received from Mrs. Julian James, of
Washington, includes several brass models of field and fortification
cannon; a number of typical Navy cutlasses, swords, and fencmg
foils; a double-barrel shotgun made by Joseph Lang, of London,
and used by Lieut. Commander T. B. M. Mason, U. S. Navy; a pair
of dueling pistols marked "F. Rynolds, N. Y."; an exceedingly rare
Colt's single-action, .26 caHber revolver made at Paterson, N. J.; a
set of copper powder measm-es made for the Ordnance Department
of the United States Army; and a sextant made by E. & G. W. Blunt,
of New York, and formerly belonging to Frederic B. N, Mason, U. S.
Navy. By transfer from the War Department, the Museum obtained
an interesting series of weapons and other objects, which had been
exhibited in a museum of historical arms maintained for some years
at the Soldiers' Home in Washington. Among the articles were a
Harpers Ferry musket of 1810; Hall breech-loading rifles of 1837
and 1838; United States Springfield cavahy and artillery musket-
oons, cahber .69, of 1851, 1852, 1853 and 1855; Colt's single-action
.45 caUber Army revolvers; a noncommissioned officer's sword; cav-
alry and artUlery drivers' saddles, and several cavalry sabers. Mr.
J. W. Daniel, of Washington, deposited a pair of horse pistols, .54
caliber, made by W. L. Evans, Valley Forge, 1831; and an Army
revolver, .36 caUber, made in imitation of the Colt revolvers, and
marked "C. S. A.," the belt buckle belonging with it bearing the
Virginia State seal.
The Museum is again indebted to Mr. Claude L. WooUey, of Bal-
timore, for examples of sundials, of which two were presented by
him during last year. One is of bronze, horizontal, adapted to the
latitude of Aberdeen, Scotland, 57° 10' north, and is marked "My
time is in Thy Hand"; the other is of aluminum, horizontal, calcu-
lated for the latitude of Constantinople, Turkey, 40° 55' north, has
the hours designated by Arabic characters, and bears the inscription
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 45
in Arabic, ''Work while the King gives the light." A 5-cjhnder
revolving aeroplane engine, of 30 horsepower and weighing 97 pounds,
devised by Mr. Emile Berliner, was donated by the Gyro Motor Com-
pany, of Washington.
As a temporary loan, the Museum received from the Isthmian
Canal Conmiission a working model of the Pedro Miguel locks, and
a papier-mache rehef map of the Gatun dam, locks and spillway of
the Panama Canal. They have been exhibited in the foyer in the
ground story of the new building.
The floor of the northeast court in the older Museum building,
from which the collections of graphic arts had been removed, was
assigned to this division and is being used for the exhibition of fire-
arms and other articles. Its acquisition for this purpose has per-
mitted the withdrawal of certain exhibits belonging to the division
from the west side of the building which is required for other branches
of the arts and industries. The classified arrangement and labeling
of the exhibition collections made good progress. The original appa-
ratus and models relating to electricity and many of the mechanical
arts are being segregated in the east haU, and the smaller aeronautical
models and the automobiles in the southeast range, but owing to the
limited space a clearly distinctive separation between the different
classes can not now be carried out. An important work consisted in
the overhauling of the extensive storage of the division, which was
not, however, completed, and the rejection of some material found
to be of no further value to the Museum.
Ceramics.—There were two principal additions to the section of
ceramics. One of these, a loan from ^Irs. Juhan James, was a collec-
tion of some size, made by the late Theodorus Badey Myers, a noted
connoisseur of New York, and comprising large DeKt, polychrome
and blue plates of great beauty and value, a number of fine examples
of Hispano-Moresque ware, objects of blue Staffordshire ware, Liver-
pool pitchers with patriotic scenes, Lowestoft, Wedgwood and
modern porcelain, and some glass ware. Mi-s. James also deposited
four panels of old blue Delft tiles with scenes. The other, for which
the Museum is indebted to IMiss Helen E. Coohdge, of Washington, con-
sisted of three Lowestoft plates of superb blue and two Chinese por-
celain cups generously presented, and of a rare cup and saucer of Spode
ware received as a loan. Reference may also be made here to the
large collection of porcelain assembled by the late Rear Admiral F. W.
Dickins, U. S. Navy, and deposited by Mrs. Dickins, which, because
of its pictorial significance, has been installed with the historical col-
lections and is described in connection with them.
Graphic arts.—Most noteworthy among the donations of the year
were an exhibit illustrating the Ben Day rapid shading mediums,
comprising a Ben Day machine, prmtmg screens, mk roller and pad.
46 EEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
pressing tools, etc., and a set of zinc plates showing the method
followed in making the colored supplement of a Smiday newspaper,
contributed by Ben Day, Inc., of New York; and two sets of pro-
gressive proofs of colored lithographic printing, received from the
Fuchs and Lang Manufacturing Company, of New York. An inter-
esting series of engravings, etchings, mezzotints, maps, charts, and
photographs was lent by Mrs. Julian James. The section of photog-
raphy received for its exhibition collection an important series of
astronomical photographs made at the Mount Wilson (California)
Solar Observatory under the direction of Dr. George E. Hale, and
presented by the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
As explained in the last report, the exhibition haUs on the main
floor of the Smithsonian building have been assigned to the division
of graphic arts, exclusive of the section of photography which is
retained in the older Museum building. The installation of the
collections, begun in 1912, was actively continued during last year,
but, owing to the fact that extensive improvements are about to be
made to the main and larger hall, the final classificatory arrangement
of the materials has for the most part been deferred, though not to
the extent of preventing a generally satisfactory presentation of
the several subjects so far as they have been worked up. In the
west hall, where the installation has been most perfected, the exhibits
are practically all technical, comprising the tools, materials, and
finished work elucidating the processes of reproduction along many
lines, as in wood and other methods of hand engraving, etching and
lithography; photo-mechanical hthography, intagUo, and rehef;
coUography, electrotyping, shading mediums, etc. The collection
illustrative of photography, which occupies the gallery of the north-
west court in the older Museum building, has been so nearly com-
pleted as to insure the opening of this important exhibition early
in the current year, although many gaps still exist and some time
wiU be required to finish the labeling.
Musical instruments.—The Museum has a large and diversified
collection of the musical instruments of both aboriginal and civiHzed
peoples, which is at present exhibited under such unfavorable con-
ditions that its true value can not be appreciated. A better installa-
tion, however, is soon to be made, which it is hoped will lead to
further contributions needed to fill m the many existing gaps. The
collection has for a number of years been under the custodianship of
Mr. E. H. Hawley, who has not only carefully attended to its preserva-
tion, but has made extensive studies regarding the properties, dis-
tribution, names, etc., of the musical instruments of the world,
which has enabled him to so classify and label the Museum material
as to give it a distinctive value. There were only two accessions
during the year. One consisted of a piano made by Torp and Unger,
EEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 47
of New York, between 1838 and 1840, and presented by the Rev.
Augustus Smith, through Mr. Robert A. Smith, of Washington.
The other was a combined bass drum and cymbal pedal beater, the
gift of Mr. George Wilham Reiser, of Baltimore.
History.—While the exceptional record of 1912 failed to be equaled
last year, the number and value of the accessions in the division of
history, and especially of permanent ones, was weU above the average.
It is most gratifying to announce the acquisition in perpetuity by the
Nation of the flag that flew over Fort McHenry during its successful
defense against the British fleet on September 13 and 14, 1814, and
immortahzed as "The Star-Spangled Banner" by the inspired verses
of Francis Scott Key. This rehc of the gallant fight, which led to the
brevetting as Heutenant colonel of the commanding officer, Maj.
George Armistead, U. S. Army, was preserved by him and descended
to his grandson, Mr. Eben Appleton, of New York City, who con-
sented in 1907 to its exhibition by the National Museum. During
the past year this loan was made a gift to the Museum, for which
patriotic action the pubUc owes to Mr. Appleton a lasting debt of
gratitude. The flag derives an additional interest from the fact
that it is one of the few in existence having 15 stars and 15 stripes.
Being greatly frayed and torn, it requires the support of a canvas
backing, but by careful attention its preservation should be insured
for aU time. It has occupied a conspicuous place in the main hall of
history since it was first received, but is deserving of a more appro-
priate setting than it has at present, one in which the entire width of
the bimting can be shown.
Another important loan that was changed to a gift during the year
consists of a bronze cannon with its wooden carriage, brought to
America by Lafayette and used by the allied forces during the War
of the American Revolution, at the close of which it was presented by
Lafayette to Col. John Cropper of the Continental Army. The
Museum has received it from Mrs. John Cropper, of Washington.
Also dating from the same period is a dress sword and scabbard
which was presented to Col. Return Jonathan Meigs of the Continental
Army by act of Congress of July 25, 1777, in recognition of dis-
tinguished service during an expedition in that year to Long Island;
and likewise a pair of silver knee buckles worn by Maj. Gen. Richard
Montgomery, of the Continental Army, at the time of the attack on
Quebec, December 31, 1775, and presented shortly before his death
to his friend Col. Meigs. Both of these relics were donated by Mr.
Return Jonathan Meigs, of Washington, the fourth in line of this
name. The Washburn family of New England is represented by an
interesting collection of memorials, including an antique pew-chair
owTied during the colonial period by Leah Fobes Washburn ; a tile
from the ruins of Evesham Abbey, England, bearing the arms of the

Washburn family; a service sword and scabbard and uniform coat
used by Maj. Gen. C. C. Washburn, U. S. Volunteers, during the
Civil War; a small silver goblet, part of a silver service presented to
him by the members of his staff; two china vases belonging to him
while governor of Wisconsin, 1872-74, and a number of other relics,
all of which were received as a gift from Mrs. Albert W. Kelsey, of
Philadelphia, daughter of Gen. Washburn.
The extensive and valued collection of Grant memorials received
many important additions. Eepresenting Gen. U. S. Grant are two
carving sets, each of seven pieces, with silver and ivory handles,
one accompanied by two dozen dinner knives similarly mounted,
presented to the General, respectively, by the people of San Francisco
in 1871 and the workmen of the Lamson and Goodnow Manufactur-
ing Company, of Shelburne Falls, Mass., in 1869, which were recorded
as a gift from Maj. Gen. Frederick Dent Grant, U. S. Army, through
Mrs. Frederick Dent Grant. From the latter were received, also as
a gift, the follo\ving memorials of her husband: The uniform worn by
him when a cadet at the W^est Point MiUtary Academy; a uniform
coat worn during the period from 1873 to 1880, when aid on the staff
of Gen. Philip Sheridan; his full-dress uniform w^orn in 1911 and 1912
while in command of the Eastern Division with headquarters on
Governors Island, N. Y.; two United States and tliree headquarters
flags flown by him in the Phihppine Islands from 1899 to 1902, in
campaigns against FiUpino insurgents; a Colt's revolver and several
native daggers and swords captured from the insurgents; a pair of
French dueling swords with scabbards presented to Gen. Grant in
1899 by the Spanish Secretary of Justice of Porto Rico, Dr. Herminio
Diaz, by whom they had been owned and used; and a number of
other articles, including an ivory-handled driving whip and a fur
overcoat. Mrs. Grant also presented a silver knife, fork and spoon
which had been used by her husband when a child, and a* set of
Russian enamel spoons given him in 1892 by Senator Leland Stanford.
A white kid glove of the type worn by those who entertained
Lafayette in Boston in 1825, and a United States Army chapeau
given to Brevet Maj. Gen. Edward Davis Townsend, U. wS. Army,
by Lieut. Gen. Winfield Scott, U. S. Army, were received as a gift
from Mrs. E. M. Chapman, of Washington. A piece of masonry
from the ancient wall of Servius Tullius in Rome, Italy, presented
to the United States Government by the National Association for
the History of Italian Unity, Rome, to replace a memorial stone of
the same description sent by the National Committee as a tribute to
President Lincoln, after his assassination in 1865, but lost in transit,
was transferred to and will be preserved in the Museum. A diploma
of doctor of medicine, conferred by the University of Edinburgh,
Scotland, in 1768, upon Gustavus Richard Brown of the colony of
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 49
Maryland, a friend of Washington and one of the physicians who
attended him in his last illness, was donated by Mrs. Mary J. Roach,
of Washington, and other descendants of Dr. Brown. A card of
admission to the Senate gallery at the Capitol during the impeach-
ment trial of President Johnson in 1868 was contributed by Dr.
Hugh M. Smith, of Washington.
The last report recorded the acquisition by the Museum of a
number of gold and silver medals which had belonged to Matthew
Fontaine Maury, Commander, U. S. Navy, donated to the United
States by several of his descendants, in connection with many manu-
scripts and other articles deposited in the Library of Congress, as a
memorial in his honor. It is desired to supplement the statement
there made by a more specific reference to the fact that these valued
tokens, the gifts of sovereigns and foreign governments, were pre-
sented to this distinguished Naval officer in recognition of the services
he rendered to the commerce and navigation of the world through
his wind and current charts, his physical geography of the sea, and
his extended researches connected therewith, which constituted a
contribution of incalculable importance to the w^elfare of mankind.
It is also necessary to correct the dates assigned to two of the medals,
as the Humboldt medal was presented in 1855 instead of 1865, and
the Austrian great gold medal of science, in 1858 instead of 1868.
Two additions were made to this collection during last year. One
was a bronze medal of the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of
All Nations, held in London in 1851; the other a gold electrotype of
the gold medal awarded by Oscar I, King of Sweden and Norway,
the original of which belongs to Miss Ann H. Maury, of Richmond.
Both of these were received through Mrs. Mary Maury Werth, the
rephca, in fact, having, by courtesy of Miss Maury, been made for
and presented by her.
The only pictures of historical interest permanently acquired
during the year were the following, presented by Maj. Wilham
Boerum Wetmore, of Washington: An oil portrait of George Peabody,
by Lowes Dickinson, 1869; an oil painting by N. H. Trotter, 1897,
entitled "Held up," showing an early railroad train stopped by a
large herd of buffalo which are crossing the track immediately in
front of the engine ; an engraving of the Charter Oak, and three water-
color paintings executed in the early part of the nineteenth century,
two being of the U. S. Frigate Constitution, and one of the U. S.
Schooner SJiarlc. The Museum was also indebted to Maj. Wetmore
for a varied collection of relics of the Civil War. The plaster model
by Frank E. ElweU, from which was cast the bronze statue of Rear
Admiral Charles H. Davis, U. S. Navy, for the Vicksburg National
Military Park, was deposited by the War Department; and an oil
50 KEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
portrait of Henry Clay, by Jean Baptiste Adolphe Gibert, was lent
by Mr. Watterson Stealey, of Washington. An interesting collection
of modern Cliinese copper and brass coins, to the number of 135,
was received as a gift from Prof. N. Gist Gee, of Soochow University,
Soochow, China.
Having transferred to the custody of the National Museum its
extensive collection illustrating the various phases of the postal
service, in which most important and valuable is the remarkable
series of postage stamps, as described in the last report, the Post
Office Department has continued to transmit the new issues for all
countries as they are assembled and distributed through the medium
of the Postal Union. During last year there were 9 accessions,
including 21,242 separate stamps, post cards and envelopes, and with
this cooperation the Museum must soon attain a foremost position
in the world as regards the subject of philately.
Of the loans to this division the most extensive was the remarkable
collection of nearly 500 pieces of American historical china brought
together by the late Rear Admiral F. W. Dickins, U. S. Navy, and
deposited by Mrs. Dickins. Containing many Liverpool pitchers and
pieces of Staffordshire ware, it is especially noteworthy on account
of the large number of fine specimens of Presidential china, including
examples dating from the administration of Washington to that of
Benjamin Harrison. The series of pieces decorated with views, por-
traits, and inscriptions relating to important events and representing
prominent personages in the history of the United States from the
colonial period to the middle of the nineteenth century is particularly
large and interesting. From Mrs. Henry Wells, of Washington, were
received a dress sword and scabbard of the period of the American
Revolution; a letter written by Thaddeus Kosciusko when colonel
in the Continental Army, dated May 24, 1779, to Ashbel Wells,
Assistant Deputy Quartermaster General of the American forces;
eight other letters of the same period written or received by Ashbel
Wells, and two additional documents. Four early American chairs,
two once owned by Maj. Gen. Philip Schuyler of the Continental
Army and two by Alexander Hamilton, and two mahogany side
tables which had belonged to the latter were obtained as a loan,
the chairs from Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, of New York, grandson
of Alexander Hamilton, the tables from Mrs. Hamilton. A number
of additions to the loan collection of the Bradford family of New
England, deposited the previous year, were made by the Misses Long,
of Washington, including six silver conserve spoons, a cut-glass vase,
five pieces of antique jewelry, a purse of silver and ivory, a vinaigrette,
and three lace veils.
Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary, U. S. Navy (retired), added to his
loan collection the following further testimonials awarded him in
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 51
recognition of his achievement in reaching the North Pole, namely
a special gold medal of honor, set with a single large diamond, from
the Peary Arctic Club; a gold medal from the Paris Academy of
Sports; and a gold, silver and bronze trophy from the Canadian
Camp of New York City. The memorial gold medal, mounted on a
bronze tablet, issued by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission in
memory of the heroines and heroes of the steamship Titanic lost off
the Banks of Newfoundland, April 15, 1912, was presented by the
Commission.
To the loan collection of the National Society of the Daughters of
the American Revolution was added an antique German wooden
casket, decorated with a painted design and inscriptions in German
and Latin, and bearing the date 1660, which had originally been used
by members of the Keim family as a receptacle for jewelry, laces, and
toilet articles.
The division of history requires a relatively greater proportion of
exhibition space than most other branches of the Museum as its col-
lections are more generally of a character to interest the pubUc. It
has, however, many resources w^hich are not intended to be displayed
but are kept conveniently accessible for reference and study, among
these being an important series of portraits, already numbering sev-
eral thousands. To permit of the introduction of certain new sub-
jects and the enlargement of the exhibits in others, for which mate-
rial is available, a third hall, the north-west range in the older Museum
building, was assigned to the division during the year.
An important work begun was the classification of the extensive
collection of postage stamps, stamped envelopes, and postal cards, as
a prehminary to the selection of a series for exhibition, and the system-
atic arrangement and filing of the others. Good progress was also
made toward arranging the collection of medals, heretofore in stor-
age, which includes a fairly representative series of the historical
medals of the United States, England, and France, besides a number
of examples from other countries. Some attention was likewise paid
to the collection of coins which, while comprising a large number of
pieces, is unfortunately very deficient even as regards the coinage of
the United States.
Penod costumes.—The preparation of an exhibition of historical
costumes, to which reference was made in the last report, was ac-
tively continued during the year though no part of the collection was
made ready for installation, owing mainly to delays in securing
appropriate lay figures. Following numerous experiments, plaster
was finally selected as best suited for representing such parts of the
figures as will be exposed, and six manikins of this pattern were
approaching completion at the close of the year. The collection is
afiiliated with the division of history and is being restricted to cos-
52 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
tiimes that have been worn at state and other important functions,
principally by the ladies of the White House. The subject, which
is one that has received much attention abroad, was taken up for
the Museum on the initiative of Mrs. Julian James, who is giving
largely of her time to the plaiming and direction of the work, and to
the gathering of the requisite materials. She is being ably assisted
by Mrs. R. R. Hoes, and has received material aid from Mrs. Hunt
Slater, Mrs. Chi^istian D. Hemmick, Miss Katharine Mimmack, Miss
Clementina Furniss, Mrs. Henry White, Mrs. E. F. Andrews, Mrs.
Dickinson Jewett, Miss Amaryllis Gillett, Mrs. C. Albert Hill, and
Mrs. P. M. Rixey.
Important permanent contributions to the collection were made
by Miss Clementina Furniss, of New York, and Mrs. S. E. Cummings
and Miss L. L. Lander, of Washington, Mrs. Cummings' donation
consisting of 159 articles, including costumes, laces, jewelry, fans,
purses, and other accessories worn by ladies and gentlemen prior to
1825. The loans, which were numerous and valuable, were received
from Mr. Edward Rutledge Pinckney and Capt. Thomas Pinckney,
of Charleston, S. C. ; Mrs. WilUam M. Ellis, of Shawsville, Va. ; Mrs.
Mary B. Barber, of Canton, Ohio; the Misses Forsyth, of Kingston,
N. y.; Mrs. George W. Fall, of Nashville, Tenn.; Miss May S. Ken-
nedy, of Charlestown, W. Va.; Mrs. C. C. Cooley, of Baltimore, Md.;
and Mrs. John Southgate Tucker, Mrs. J. Hough Cottman, Mrs. P.
M. Rixey, and Mrs. Julian James, of Washington.
WorTc of the preparators.—The principal work carried on was in
continuation of the preparation of exhibits for the public halls, and
especially the modeHng, casting, painting, and installation of lay
figures for the ethnological and historical costume collections, in con-
nection with which the services of Mr. H. W. Hendley were mainl}^
utilized. Numerous figures, modeled in clay and cast in plaster,
were also made by Mr. U. S. J. Dunbar, sculptor, partly for the
Museum, but chiefly for the Panama-CaMfornia Exposition, and Mr.
Frank Micka, sculptor, was likewise employed to prepare anthropo-
logical exhibits for the same exposition.
ExTiihition collections.—With the opening up in April, 1913, of the
large hall devoted to prehistoric archeology, the entire exhibition
space allotted to the department of anthropology in the new building
became accessible to the public. While the installations are gen-
erally well classified and displayed, they are to a large extent still
tentative, and subject to additions and improvement. Much also
remains to be done to complete the labeling.
Explorations.—Two trips were made during the year by the head
curator of the department, Mr. William H. Holmes, for the purpose
of exploring archeological localities and of obtaining data relating
to collections wliich had been acquired by the Museum. The fu-st
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 53
was to Georgia and the Carolinas, the second to Illinois. In Georgia
certain ancient village and stone-working sites were studied and
interesting material was secured; while in South Carolina the collec-
tions of the museum at Columbia were examined and a visit was
made to a large Indian mound on the Congaree River, 12 miles below
Columbia, where many relics of stone and earthenware were obtained
from an ancient burial ground. In western North Carolina a number
of the more important of the prehistoric mica mines were investi-
gated. The old workings were found to be very numerous and exten-
sive; some of the excavations, traces of which still remain, extended
to a depth of a hundred feet, and the amount of mica extracted and
carried away by the aborigines may be estimated at many hundreds
of tons. By digging in the ancient pittings, ]\lr. Holmes secured speci-
mens of the mica and of the stone implements employed by the
natives in their mining work. In southern IlUnois an examination was
made of an ancient flint quarry where the aborigines obtained the
material for their agricultural implements, examples of which as
well as of the tools used in the flint-chipping work, together with a
quantity of the refuse of manufacture, were collected for the
Museum.
Under the joint auspices of the Smithsonian Institution and the
Panama-Cahfornia Exposition authorities, at San Diego, Cal., Dr.
A\e§ Hrdhcka, curator of the division of physical anthropology,
conducted personally thi'ee important field investigations, relating
respectively to geologically ancient man in the Old World, the origin
of the American race, and the anthropology and prehistoric pathology
of Peru. The first involved the visiting of practically every institu-
tion in Europe where authenticated skeletal remains of ancient man
are preserved. A large majority of these specimens were examined,
and in several instances, especially on the island of Jersey and at
Mauer, the locahties where they had been found were studied, result-
ing in a fund of valuable information. A comprehensive account of
the trip appeared in the annual report of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion for 1912. The second expedition was to Siberia and Mongolia
during the summer months of 1912, and was equally successful,
many important observations, supported by numerous photographs
and specimens, having been secured. The principal result, as set forth
in a brief report pubhshed in Volume 60 of the Smithsonian Miscel-
laneous Collections, under the title "Remains in eastern Asia of the
race that peopled America," was to the effect that scattered over
large parts of eastern Asia are remnants of native peoples, which,
notwithstanding a considerable mixture with more recent ethnic
elements, show many physical resemblances to the American Indian,
indicating at least distant relationships. The Peruvian expedition,
wliich continued from January until the end of April, 1913, amounted,
54 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
in fact, to an extension of the field work conducted by Dr. Hrdlicka
in 1910. Its main objects were to trace the distribution of the prin-
cipal native types in pre-Columbian times, and to determine, as far
as was possible from skeletal remains, the prevalent diseases and in-
juries and their effect, if any, on the constitution of the people. The
work was carried along the coast for 600 miles, and two trips were
made into the mountains. Approximately 200 ancient cemeteries
and burial caves were explored, affording opportunity for examining
over 4,800 crania and a great quantity of other human bones. Im-
portant selections from these, including remarkable examples of tre-
phining and rare pathological conditions, were forwarded to the
Museum for further study. A somewhat detailed report of this expe-
dition was submitted, and the preparation of a more extensive iUus-
trated account was approaching conclusion at the end of the year.
Under the same joint auspices. Dr. R. D. Moore, aid in the division
of physical anthropology, spent the summer of 1912 on St. Lawrence
Island, Alaska, observing and collecting among the Eskimo. He
was successful in obtaining numerous measurements, photographs,
casts and skeletal remains, as well as other material, the majority
of wliich it was necessary to leave on the island, to be brought do^vn
the following season by one of the steamers of the Revenue Service.
DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY.
From only a few sources were the acquisitions received by this
department during last year sufficiently diversified to relate to two
or more divisions. Most noteworthy among the general collections
were those contributed by Dr. W. L. Abbott, resulting from his own
explorations in Kashmir, and those of Mr. H. C. Raven, conducted
at Dr. Abbott's expense, in northeastern Borneo, embracing mammals,
birds, reptiles, and batrachians. Several other expeditions, however,
also furnished mixed collections, as described further on, the most
important having been one to the Altai Mountains in Asia by Dr.
Theodore Lyman. The divisions of fishes, mollusks, and marine
invertebrates profited largely, as usual, by the scientific explorations
of the Bureau of Fisheries, not only as to number and variety of speci-
mens, but by the receipt of much material, including types, that had
been studied and described by experts.
Mammals.—The series of mammals sent from Kashmir by Dr.
Abbott and from Borneo by Mr. Raven were both of much value, that
from the latter region containing a specimen of the very rare and
conspicuous squirrel, Reithrosciurus, and two specimens of the hith-
erto ''lost" tree shrew, Tupaia mulleri. Of exceptional importance
was the collection of mammals, numbering 346 specimens, made by
Mr. N. HoDister, assistant curator of the division, on the expedition of
EEPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 55
Dr. Theodore Lynian to the Altai Mountains. It represents 33 spe-
cies, of which 13 have been described as new by Mr. Hollister. Mr.
Arthur deC. Sowerby transmitted 81 mammals from China and Mon-
goha, including a new species; and the Bureau of Fisheries contrib-
uted a specimen of a bottle-nosed whale taken at Beaufort, N. C,
which proved to belong to a new species, described by Dr. Frederick
W. True under the name 2Iesoplodon minim. A valuable addition to
the collection of anthropoid apes consisted of the skulls and skeletons
of 23 gorillas and 19 chimpanzees, obtained by exchange. The
Museum was also fortunate in securing the mounted skin and skeleton
of an exceptionally fine male specimen of the okapi from the Welle
district of the Congo. This remarkable animal, which is related to
the giraffe and was discovered only about 12 years ago, is represented
in but few museums.
The tanning of large and medium-sized mammal skins by contract
progressed satisfactorily, and about 275 skins, mostly old specimens
in danger of deterioration, were made up by the taxidermist detailed
to the division. The labeHng and cataloguing of the Rainey African
collection were completed, and the same work with reference to the
Merriam collection of North American mammals was well advanced.
Over 800 large skulls and skeletons, besides a number of miscellaneous
bones, were cleaned by the Museum force, and about 2,400 small
skulls, by contract. All of the small skulls and skeletons are well
arranged, as are also the lai^e skuUs of carnivores and primates.
Cases furnished during the year made possible a temporary arrange-
ment of the skeletons of these two orders and of the pinnipeds and
rodents, but accommodations are still lacking for the skulls and
skeletons of the ungulates. The alcohoHc specimens are suitably
provided for, and considerable progress has been made toward their
systematic arrangement, that of the bats and insectivores, composing
the most important part of the collection, being nearly completed.
Research work in the division related mainly to Old World mam-
mals, though the most extensive single Museum publication of the
year was a list of the North American land mammals represented in
the Museum, prepared by the curator, Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, jr. A
much laiger and more important work by Mr. Miller was, however,
issued by the British Museum of Natural History in London, being
a catalogue of the mammals of western Europe, which signahzed the
conclusion of a task on which the curator had been engaged for a
number of years, several of which were spent in Europe. Dr. S. F.
Harmer, the Keeper of Zoology in the British Museum, explains in a
preface that the possibility of issuing the volume grew up mainly
from the studies which Mr. Miller had been conducting independently
on the subject, and adds: "As Mr. Miller is on the staff of the United
States National Museum the special and cordial thanks of the Trus-
66 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
tees of the British Museum are due to the authorities of the former
institution for tiie facilities gi'anted to him for carrying through the
preparation of the Catalogue, a work which involved a furlough of
two years and a half from his usual duties at Washington." It is
furthermore interesting to learn from the introduction that while the
British Museum has the largest collection of European land mammals
extant, numbering about 5,000 specimens, the National Museum,
^vith about 4,000 specimens, follows next, and that without the hel]>
of the latter collection a monogi-aphic study of these animals could
not have been made.
Mr. N. Hollister, assistant curator, was chiefly occupied in working
up the collection of mammals from the Altai Mountains, but he also
brought nearly to completion an annotated review of the mammals
of the Philippine Islands. Dr. M. W. Lyon, jr., formerly of the divi-
sion, finished a monograph of the tree shrews and began the prepa-
ration of a review of the mammal fauna of the Borussan Islands.
Besides members of the Biological Survey of the Department of
Agriculture, the collections were consulted by Prof. O. P. Hay, of
Washington; Dr. H. H. Donaldson, of the Wistar Institute, Phila-
delphia, Pa,; Dr. J, S. Foote, of the Creighton Medical College,
Omaha, Nebr.; and Mr. Childs Frick, of New York. Specimens were
lent for study to Dr. Leisewitz, of Munich, Bavaria; Mr. K. Andersen,
of the British Museum ; Mr. W. H. Osgood, of the Field Museum of
Natural History; Dr. D. G. Elliot, of New York, and others.
Birds.—Most prominent among the additions to this division was
the magnificent series of over 5,000 bird skins from Abyssinia and
British East Africa, collected by Dr. E. A. Mearns on the Childs Frick
expedition, and deposited by Mr. Frick. Containing several generic
types not previously in the Museum, this contribution splendidly
supplements the earlier collections from East Africa, including those
made by the Smithsonian expedition under Col. Theodore Roosevelt
and by Dr. W. L. Abbott at Kilimanjaro, and places the Museum in
possession of one of the best representations of the bird fauna of that
part of the world. Mr. H. C. Raven transmitted 488 specimens from
Borneo, and the Bureau of Fisheries 61 skins from Celebes and other
islands of the Dutch East Indies, obtained during a recent cruise of
the steamer Albatross. From this bureau were also received 108
skeletons, 137 eggs, and 2 nests from the Pribilof Islands, and Dr.
L. C. Sanford, of New Haven, Conn., contributed 25 skins chiefly
from Alaska, including the types of Loxia curvirostra i^ercna and
Micropallas whitneyi sanfordi. Several skins and eggs of rare birds
fi'om Samoa and Niuafu Island were presented by Mr. Mason Mtchell,
American consul at Apia, among them being the skin and eggs of
Megapodius pritcJiardi, which are new to the Museum ; and eggs of
two other rare species, namely, the ocellated turkey, Agriocharis
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 57
ocelJata, and the Siberian spoon-billed sandpiper, Eurynorliynchus
pygmseus, were likewise received as gifts, the former from Mr. C. H.
Jones, of San Felipe, Campeche, Mexico, the latter fi*om Air. L. L.
Lane, of Seattle, Wash.
The rearrangement of the reserve series of skins was continued and
completed for 21 1 quarter-unit cases. Some 300 mounted birds from
the old exhibition collection were made over into skins, and the origi-
nal labels of several hundred mounted specimens were removed from
the stands to which they had been glued, and filed away in numerical
order for reference. The important work of posting the old cata-
logues showing the distribution of specimens during the earlier years
of the Museum and the search for type specimens were also contin-
ued, the latter with some success, a few types being discovered.
The Frick African collection was catalogued. The skins received
during the year were assigned to their appropriate places in the
reserve series, with the exception of the Frick and Abbott collec-
tions which are being kept intact pending their study. The eggs
were also catalogued but not systematically arranged.
Mr. Robert Ridgway, curator of the division, completed part 6 of
his great work on the Birds of North and Middle America, covering
the families Picidse (woodpeckers), Capitonidae (barbets), Rham-
phastidse (toucans), Galbulidse (jacamars), Bucconidse (puffbirds),
Alcedinidse (kingfishers), TodidaB (todies), Momotidge (motmots),
Caprimulgidse (goatsuckers), Nyctibiidse (ibijaus), Aluconidse (barn
owls), Strigidse (owls), and Cuculidae (cuckoos). The manuscript for
the PsittacidsB (parrots), to be included in part 7, was also nearly
fuiished. It is gratifying to make mention in this connection of the
signal honor recently conferred on Mi\ Ridgway, who has been an
active member of the scientific staff of the Museum since 1874, in
the awarding to him of the Walker grand honorary prize, given by
the Boston Society of Natural History once in five years, in acknowl-
edgment of his investigations in ornithology, and particularly for his
work on the Birds of North and Middle America. This prize was
founded by the late William Johnson Walker, a benefactor of the
Society, and is granted in recognition of important investigations in
natural liistory, published and made known in the United States.
Dr. C. W. Richmond, assistant curator, dm'ing such time as could
be spared from routine work, studied the Frick collection of African
birds with reference to their generic determination, and also inves-
tigated and reported on a large number of generic names of birds
for the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature. Mr.
J. H. Riley, aid, assisted Mr. Ridgway in the preparation of the
manuscript of the Birds of North and IVIiddle America, compiling
references and measuring specimens. Dr. E. A. Mearns, U. S. Army
(retired), associate in zoology, continued his studies of East African
58 EEPOKT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
birds, chiefly those collected by himself on the Smithsonian and
Frick expeditions. Mr. A. C. Bent, of Taunton, Mass., spent some
time at the Museum in examining various North American birds,
more particularly the crossbills.
Members of the staff of the Biological Survey of the Department
of Agriculture made constant use of the collection, especially Mr. H.
C. Oberholser, who also determined for the Museum several accessions
that had recently been received. A large number of ornithologists
not connected with the Government likewise visited the division,
some of them spending several days in the examination of specimens
and books in connection wath their investigations. Among these may
be mentioned Dr. Thomas Barbour, of the Museum of Comparative
Zoology; Mr. F. M. Chapman, of the American Museum of Natural
History; Mr. C. B. Cory and Prof. S. E. Meek, of the Field Museum
of Natural History; Mr. Witmer Stone, of the Academy of Natural
Sciences of Philadelphia; Mr. W. E. Clyde Todd, of the Carnegie
Museum; Iklr. Childs Frick, of New York; Mr. C. J. Maynard, of
West Newton, Mass.; Dr. L. C. Sanford, of New Haven, Conn.; Mr.
H. H. Bailey, of Newport News, Va. ; Mr. Lacy I. Moffett, of Kiang-
yin, China; and Mi-. Charles T. Ramsden, of Guantanamo, Cuba.
The collection of birds' eggs was consulted by Mi'. Edward Arnold,
of Battle Creek, Mch.; Mr. E. J. Court, of Washington; Mr. A. M.
Ingersoll, of San Diego, Cal.; and Mr. Geo. H. Stuart, of Philadelphia,
Pa. Dr. R. W. Shufeldt, of Washington, examined a number of skel-
etons. Specimens were lent for study to several museums and other
institutions, as follows: The Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila-
delphia, the American Museum of Natural History, the Boston Soci-
ety of Natural History, the California Academy of Sciences, the Car-
negie Museum, the Field Museum of Natural History, the Museum
of Comparative Zoology, the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology of the
University of California, and the British Museum of Natural History.
Reptiles and latracTiians.—Besides the reptiles contained in the col-
lection received from Mr. Haven, a considerable number of specimens
from Borneo were presented by Mr. D. D. Streeter, who, as a tempo-
rary collaborator of the Museum, visited that island dm-ing the year.
Mr. Arthur deC. Sowerby transmitted material from China; Dr. J. C.
Thompson, U. S. Navy, from California; and Dr. J. N. Rose, from
the West Indies. Several specimens of the recently described Neoseps
reynoldsi from Florida were obtained by ^Mr. N. R. Wood, of the Mu-
seum staff; and the type specimens of two new salamanders, de-
scribed by "Mr. C. S. Brimley, of Raleigh, N. C, as Plethodon metcalji
and Spelerpes ruber schencki, were received from the latter as a gift.
The collections of the division received the care and attention nec-
essary to their preservation, and considerable progress was made in
the transfer of specimens to glass-stoppered jars which are better
EEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 59
adapted to their keeping than the older pattern. The head curator
of the department, Dr. Leonhard Stejneger, who also retains charge
of this division, continued, as time permitted, his researches on Phil-
ippine herpetology, and completed his report on the reptiles and
batrachians collected by the Yale Peruvian expedition of 1911. The
division was visited for the examination of material by Dr. Thomas
Barbour and Dr. J. S. Foote; and specimens were lent for study to
Dr. Alex. G. Ruthven, head curator of the Museum of the University
of Michigan; Dr. J. C. Thompson, U. S. Navy, attached to the
steamer Albatross; Dr. Charles A. Kofoid, of the University of CaU-
fornia; and Dr. Barbour.
Fishes.—While the number of specimens received by this division
was much below the average, the nimiber of types acquired was
exceptionally large, not less than 110, besides numerous paratypes,
having been contained in a single collection from the Biu-eau of Fish-
eries, which also deposited the type and paratype of Eadropterus
seUaris, and the type and 11 other specimens of Pseudofleuronedes
dignahilis. Leland Stanford Junior University presented the type
specimen of Atherinops oregonia and paratypes of six new species of
Japanese fishes; while Dr. David Starr Jordan donated the type of
Gnathypops ionis from Japan, and was instrumental in obtaining the
type of Anguilla manabei, also from Japan, as a gift to the Museum
from Prof. Yoshiro Manabe. The type of Pontinus microlepis and
three specimens of the rare Pledrypops retrospinis, new to the collec-
tion, were contributed by Dr. Tarleton H. Bean, of the Conservation
Commission of New York. A number of desirable specimens from
Cape Lookout, N. C, were received from Mr. Russell J. Coles, of
Danville, Va., and others were acquired through exchange from the
Field Museum of Natural History, and the Australian Museum at
Sydney.
The very extensive collections of the division are reported to be
in good condition, but their increase in recent years has more than
taxed the energies of the few persons attached to the division, and a
general revision is now called for and should soon be undertaken.
Such a work would be expected to result in a considerable reduction
in the bulk of material, and to release a large number of specimens
to be used for exchanges, and for distribution to schools and colleges.
Though mainly occupied with routine work, the assistant curator of
the division, Mr. Barton A. Bean, continued his investigation of the
fishes of the District of Columbia and of Florida, and the aid, Mr. A. C.
Weed, his study of the pike family (Esocidse) . Dr. Hugh M. Smith, U. S.
Commissioner of Fisheries, and Mr. Lewis Radcliffe, of the Bureau of
Fisheries, made constant use of the collections in connection with their
researches on the fishes of the Philippine Islands, as did also Mr. S. F.
Hildebrand, of the same bureau, and Dr. S. E. Meek, of the Field
60 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
Museum of Natural History, in conjunction with their investigation
of the fishes of Panama. Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell, of the University
of Colorado, was present during a short time, makuig a study of the
scales of fishes, and specimens were lent to the American Museum of
Natural History and Leland Stanford Junior University.
hiseds.—Most noteworthy among the accessions to this division
was a collection of about 15,000 forest insects, accompanied by
examples of their work and by copious notes, which was deposited by
the West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station in order that it
might be accessible for the study of certain economic problems by the
Government. Some 3,600 insects, mostly from Great Britain and
North America, were presented by Mr. J. R. Malloch, of Washington,
and over 2,500 specimens were transferred by the U. S. Bureau of
Entomology. Eighty named bees, new to the collection and includ-
ing paratypes of 12 species, were donated by the Department of
Entomology of the University of Nebraska ; and 218 bees of the family
Mehponidse, also named and including 90 cotypes, were purchased
from Dr. H. Friese, of Schwerin, Germany. As a nucleus for the
series of insects in the faunal exhibit of the District of Columbia a
collection of local beetles, numbering about 10,000 specimens,
remarkable for its completeness and excellence of preparation, was
acquired by purchase from Mrs. C. E. Burden, of Falls Church, Va.
While the collections of the division have been kept in good con-
dition as regards preservation, it has not been possible to make the
progress desired in transferring the specimens from the old style of
drawers to those of the lately adopted standard pattern, specially
designed for their better protection from pests and dust, owing to
the lack of means for emplo3^ng a sufficient number of skilled prepara-
tors to properly expedite the work. The transferring during the year
was mainly restricted to the orders Odonata, Coleoptera, and Hymen-
optera.
The curator of the division, Dr. L. O. Howard, collaborating with
two of his assistants. Dr. Harrison G. Dyar and Mr. Frederick Knab,
completed for the Carnegie Institution of Washington the monumental
work on the mosquitoes of North and Central America and the West
Indies, on which they have been engaged for some time. The asso-
ciate curator, Mr. J. C. Crawford, continued his studies of the Hjonen-
optera, and described a large number of new genera and species.
Mr. J. R. Malloch finished the preparation of an account of the dip-
terous family Phoridse, and Mr. A. A. Girault, a monograph of the
Signiphorinse, a subfamily of Hymenoptera. Many smaller detached
studies by the custodians of the various branches of the collections
are indicated by their titles in the bibliography at the end of this
report. Among the students who visited the division for the purpose
of examining material in furtherance of their researches were Mr. M. D.
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 61
Leonard, of Cornell University; Dr. Frank E. Lutz, of the American
Museum of Natural History; Dr. W. T. M. Forbes, of Worcester,
Mass. ; Mr. J. R. de la Torre Bueno, of White Plains, N. Y. ; Mr. G. P.
Engelhardt, of the Children's Museum, Brooklyn; and Mr. H. G.
Barber, of Roselle Park, N. J. Specimens were lent to specialists as
follows: Hemiptera and Coleoptera to Mr. Fred Muir, of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters' Experiment Station, Honolulu, H. I. ; Coleoptera to
Mr. George C. Champion, of London, England, and Mr. Robert D,
Glasgow, of Urbana, 111.; Hemiptera to Mr. J. R. de la Torre Bueno;
Hymenoptera to Mr, P. H. Timberlake, of the Bureau of Entomology,
and Mr. H. L. Viereck, of Philadelphia ; Diptera to Dr. O. Krober, of the
Naturhistorisches Museum, Hamburg, Germany, Mr. C. W. Johnson,
of the Boston Society of Natural History, Dr. E, P. Felt, of Albany,
N. Y., Mr. H. E. Smith, of Wellington, Kans., and Prof. J. M. Aldrich,
of the University of Idaho ; Odonata to Dr. PhiHp P. Calvert, of the
University of Pennsylvania, and Euplexoptera to Dr. Malcolm Burr,
of Dover, England.
MoUusTcs.—The cotA^es of 12 species of Australian mollusks de-
scribed by him were presented by Dr. J. C. Verco, of Adelaide, South
AustraUa, and the type specimens of several new species of marine
shells as weU as other specimens were received as a gift from the late
C. W. Gripp, of San Diego, Cal., and from his estate after his death.
Other noteworthy contributions consisted of recent and fossil sheUs
from Venezuela, received from Dr. Ralph Arnold, of Los Angeles,
Cal.; land shells from the Bahama Islands and the Dutch East
Indies, and marine sheUs from Panama, received from Mr. John. B.
Henderson, of Washington; land, fresh-water and marine shells from
Mexico and Texas, received from Mr. Charles R. Orcutt, of San
Diego, Cal.; and land and fresh-water shells from Lake Winnipeg
and vicinity, received from Mrs. W. W. Hippsley, of Manitoba.
Many fine examples of Cypraea from Honolulu were obtained from
Mr. I. B. Hardy, of Santa Barbara, Cal., in exchange.
The reserve collections are reported as accessible and in good
order. A beginning has been made toward revising the arrange-
ment of the west American coast famia, and for several of the la,rger
genera this work has been finished. The extensive additions made
to the marine collection from South Africa by Lieut. Col. W. H.
Turton have been mainly worked up and will result in an exception-
ally fine representation from that region. Over 11,500 lots of speci-
mens were registered. For the exhibition collections the synoptical
and Acadian faunal series were completed and have been installed,
that for the District of Columbia has been made ready, and the
series illustrating the Vnginian and Floridian regions are well under
way.
62 REPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
The curator of the division, Dr. William H. Dall, commenced work
on a revision of the marine moUusks of the North Pacific coast,
beginning with the Nuculacea and Biiccinidse, while the assistant
curator, Dr. Paul Bartsch, continued liis studies of the mollusks of
South Africa and the Philippine Islands, in which good progress was
made. Mr. John B. Henderson spent much time at the division
pursuing his mvestigations of the AntUlean moUusk fauna, and the
collections were consulted by the Hon. T. H. Aldrich, of Bhmingham,
Ala.; Miss Julia Gardner, of Johns Hopkins University; and Mr.
L. S. Frierson, of Frierson, La.
Marine invertebrates.—The principal accessions received by this
division came, as usual, from the Bureau of Fisheries, and consisted
chiefly of material that had been worked up and reported upon by spe-
ciahsts. Of schizopod crustaceans collected on the Albatross cruises of
1899-1900 and 1904-1905 in the Pacific Ocean under the direction of
Alexander Agassiz, and described by Dr. H. J. Hansen m the Memoirs
of the Museum of Comparative Zoologj^, there were about 2,500
specimens, representing 63 species, of which 8 were new to science
and 2 had been made the types of new genera. Of echinoids or sea
urchins from several Pacific explorations of the Albatross, described
by Dr. Hubert Lyman Clark in the same Memoks, there were some
1,300 specimens, representing 52 species of which 14 were new. Of
echinoderms other than crinoids obtained during a cruise of the
steamer Albatross to the west coast of Mexico in 1911 under the
direction of Dr. C. H. Townsend, and also described by Dr. H. L.
Clark in a report not yet published, there were 986 specimens, repre-
senting 104 species, of which 7 were new. Of simple ascidians
from the collections made by the Fish Commission on the Atlantic
coast of the United States between 1871 and 1887, described by Dr.
W. G. Van Name in the Proceedmgs of the Boston Society of Natural
History, there were about 250 specimens, representing 34 species, of
which 8 were new. About 900 samples of plankton and 348 micro-
scopic slides of foraminifera were also received from tho Bureau of
Fisheries. Mr. Harry K. Harring, of Washington, presented 139
species of rotifera, of which 5 were new, mounted on microscopic
slides, this important contribution more than doubling the repre-
sentation of this order of minute worms in the Museum collection.
From the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle at Paris, France, 9 species
of shrimps of the family Atyidse new to the Museum and mcluding
cotypes of 3 new species described by Prof. E. L. Bouvier, were
obtained by exchange.
The work of improving the condition of the reserve collections of
the division and making them more accessible for reference was satis-
factorily continued, the alcoholic specimens of echinoids, asteroids,
holothurians, alcyonarians and actinians being overhauled, the nomen-
REPOBT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 63
clatiire revised, fresh labels attached to the ftiitside of the jars and a
systematic arrangement effected. At the same time the card cata-
logue of these groups was brought down to date. The cataloguing
of current accessions was promptly attended to, and that of several
large collections which had fallen in arrears was made up. A number
of sets of duphcate specimens was prepared for distribution to schools
and colleges, and much time was spent in selecting material for the
exhibition series.
Ikliss Mary J. Rathbun, assistant curator, finished the preparation
of a report on the stalk-eyed crustaceans of the Dutch West Indies,
based on a collection made by Dr. J. Boeke in 1905, which is to be
published by the Dutch Government in a series dealing with the
resources of those islands. She also identified most of the Japanese
crabs sent for that purpose by the University of Tokyo, and con-
cluded the working up of the large collection of PhiUppine crabs of
the famiUes Ocypodidae and Grapsidse, in the same connection study-
ing and determining all of the specimens belonging to the same fami-
Hes contained in the general ^Museum collection. A report on the
Philippine specimens is nearly ready for pubUcation. !Mr. Austin H.
Clark, assistant curator, conducted investigations upon a number of
collections of recent crinoids, mostly received from abroad, some of
which were finished, while others are still in progress, and he also
completed revisions of a number of families and genera of crinoids.
In cooperation with Mr. Frank Springer, he prepared a treatise on
crinoids for a new edition of Zittel's Paleontology, and a part of the
section on the Holothuroidea for the same pubhcation was furnished
by him. Dr. Harriet Richardson, collaborator, continued her studies
on isopods and identified a number of specimens from various sources,
including small collections obtained by the Bureau of Fisheries
steamer Albatross on the west coast of Mexico in 1911, and by the
French Antarctic Expedition, the latter collection belonging to the
Museum of Natural History in Paris.
The resources of this division are so great and so diversified that
it would be quite impossible to depend upon its small staff for all of
the research work necessary for the entire classification of the col-
lections placed in its custody. For this reason it has long been the
pohcy to seek the help of zoologists specializing in the various groups
of marine and other aquatic invertebrates wherever they may be
located, and it has also been the good fortune of the Museum to
receive such assistance freely and almost wholly without other
obhgation than a right to share in the division of the duplicate
specimens yielded by each collection as it is studied. A fuU state-
ment of this cooperative work would involve the names of most of
the prominent experts of the world in the subjects covered by the
32377°—NAT uva 1913 5

division. During last year these volunteer collaborators represented
11 different States of this country, besides Great Britain, France,
Germany, and Denmark. Reports for publication were received
from several of these, as follows: Dr. R. Koehler, of Lyon, France,
on a large collection of ophiurans chiefly from the West Indies;
Dr. H, B. Bigelow, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, on the
Medusae and Siphonophorae collected by the steamer Albatross in the
northwestern Pacific Ocean in 1906; Dr. Walter Faxon, of the same
Museiun, on the crayfishes received by the Museum during the past
15 years or since his last report upon the subject; Dr. WilUam E.
Ritter, of the Scripps Institution for Biological Research, at La
JoUa, Cal., on the sunple ascidians from the northeastern Pacific
Ocean; Dr. Joseph A. Cushman, of the Boston Society of Natural
History, the third part, covering the family Lagenidae, of his mono-
graph of the foraminifera of the north Pacific Ocean; Dr. C. Dwight
Marsh, of the Department of Agriculture, on the fresh-water copepods
of Panama, based on material mainly collected by himself; and Dr.
A. S. Pearse, of the University of Wisconsin, on a collection of
amphipods from the Pribilof Islands, Alaska.
The foUowmg important investigations, previously begun, were in
progress, namely, on the starfishes of the north Pacific Ocean, by
Dr. Walter K. Fisher, of Leland Stanford Junior University; on
parasitic copepods, by Dr. Charles B. Wilson, of the State Normal
School at Westfield, Mass.; on the sessile Cirripedia, by Dr. H. A.
Pilsbry, of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia; on the
family Crangonidae of shrimps, by Dr. H. Coutiere, of the Ecole
Superieure de Pharmacie, Paris, France; on the order Euphausiacea
of crustaceans, by Dr. H. J. Hansen, of the Zoological Museum,
Copenhagen, Demnark; on the order Mysidacea of crustaceans, by
Dr. W. M. Tattersall, of the Manchester Museum, Manchester, Eng-

Dr. R. C. Osburn, of Barnard College, New York City; and on the
rotifers of the District of Columbia, by IVIr. Harry K. Harring, of the
Bureau of Standards. Other extended researches were taken up
during the year by Prof. Frank Smith, of the University of Illinois,
on the oligochete annelids; by Mr. R. Southern, of Dublin, Ireland,
on the family Cirratulidae of annelids; by Dr. J. W. Spengel, of
Giessen, Germany, on the genus Sipunculus of worms; and by Prof.
Maynard M. Metcalf, of Oberlin College, on the collection of Salpa
and P3rrosoma. Dr. H. B. Bigelow began the examination of the
many samples of plankton collected in the Gulf of Maine during the
summer of 1912 by the Bureau of Fisheries schooner Grampus.
Acknowledgments are also due to the following persons for the
identification of specimens sent to them from time to time belonging
in the groups named respectively after each, namely. Dr. H. V.
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 65
Wilson, of the University of Nortli Carolina, marine sponges; Dr. N.
Annandale, of the Indian Museum at Calcutta, fresh-water sponges;
Dr. AUce Robertson, of Wellesley College, Pacific coast bryozoans;
Prof. C. C. Nutting, of the University of Iowa, hydroids and alcyona-
rians; Prof. H. B. Torrey, of Reed College, Portland, Oreg., actin-
ians; Dr. H. L. Clark, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology,
echinoderms; Prof. J. Percy Moore, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, annelids and leeches; Dr. E. L. Michael, of San Diego, Cal.,
chsetognath annelids; Dr. W. R. Coe, of Yale University, nemer-
teans; Mss A. L. Weckel, of Oak Park, 111., fresh-water amphipods;
and Dr. A. G. Huntsman, of the University of Toronto, compound
ascidians. The loans made to assist in investigations other than for
the Museum comprised specimens of bryozoans, sent to Mr. H. T.
White, of Sudbury, Canada; Philippine sea urchins of the family
Cidaridge, sent to Dr. Th. Mortensen, of the Zoological Museum,
Copenhagen, Denmark; shrimps of the family Atyidse, sent to Prof.
E. L. Bouvier, of the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France;
crayfishes, sent to Prof. H. Garman, of the State University of Ken-
tucky; and specimens of the family Pontoniidse of crustaceans,
sent to Dr. L. A. Borradaile, of Selwyn College, Cambridge, England.
Plants.—The total number of specimens acquired by the division
of plants was approximately 140,000, of which about 80,000 were
comprised in the collection of grasses, forming part of the National
Herbarium, which had long been cared for and received its main
growth in the Department of Agriculture, and which during the year
was transferred to the custody of the Museum. Other grasses to the
number of about 12,800 were obtained by purchase. They com-
posed the private collection of Prof. A. S. Hitchcock, containing,
besides specimens gathered by Prof. Hitchcock and Mrs. Agnes
Chase, a large amount of material formerly belonging to Prof. F. L.
Scribner, and the types of over 200 species first described by him.
Through these additions the grass collection now brought together
in the division of plants becomes the largest and most comprehensive
one in this country.
Another noteworthy accession was the herbarium of Prof. E. O
Wooton, consisting of about 10,000 specimens mostly from New
Mexico, to which a particular value attaches because of the fact that
much of the material, obtained in many and often remote parts of
the State, was not gathered in dupUcate, on which account the col-
lection furnishes the only means of substantiating the records of a
large number of species. A set of 621 specimens, of which about
one-third are cotypes, from the Schomburgk collection of British
Guiana plants, received in exchange from the British Museum of
Natural History, forms an especially desirable acquisition, in view
of the active botanical investigations recently conducted in Panama,
66 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913
as the National Herbarium is very deficient in material from South
America. Among other important additions were about 7,000 plants
from the West Indies, collected by Dr. J. N, Rose and assistants;
and nearly 3,000 specimens, chiefly from the same region, obtained
in exchange from the New York Botanical Garden.
An exceptionally notable contribution was the well-known col-
lection of diatoms assembled by the late Prof. C. Henry Kain, of
Philadelphia, Pa., said to be the largest and most diversified in this
countiy and one of the finest in the world, which was received as a
gift from Mrs. Kain.
Reference should also be made to the generous gift by Miss Eleanor
Lewis, of Yellow Springs, Ohio, of over 500 flower studies in water
color, composing all that had been kept together of the large and
well-known series painted by her aunt, the late Miss Adelia Gates
during extensive travels in this country, Europe, Palestine, and the
northern part of Africa. Additions to the collection have been
promised by several friends of IVIiss Gates, among whom a considera-
ble number of the paintings were distributed.
The number of mounted plants added to the herbarium was approxi-
mately 111,500, of which the greater part, consisting of the grasses
in the two large collections, were received in that condition. The
number of specimens momited in regular course was about 18,000,
including some material in arrears, leaving at the end of the year
less than 5,000 specimens to be so prepared. Owing to the unusual
extent of the accessions and to a considerable accumulation of mate-
rial, the work of distributing specimens to their appropriate places in
the herbarium involved more than the customary amount of labor.
The segregating of types and of collections representing type material
was continued with good progress, and a large number of duplicates
were separated and prepared for distribution.
Mr. Frederick V. Coville, curator of the division, continued his
studies on the Vacciniaceae. Mr. W. R. Maxon, assistant curator,
prepared two papers on tropical American ferns, identified the Panama
specimens of several genera of the same group, and gave some time
to the preparation of copy for the fern portion of the North American
Flora. Mr. P. C. Standley, assistant curator, determined the species
of certain famihes of plants in coUections from Panama and, mainly
in this connection, monographed several small genera of tropical
American forms. In collaboration with Prof. E. O. Wooton, he also
prepared a paper describing over 200 new species from New Mexico,
consisting of excerpts from the manuscript of the flora of New Mexico
mentioned in the last report. This manuscript was also under revi-
sion by Mr. Standley to adapt it for pubhcation in the Contributions
from the National Herbarium. Mr. E. S. Steele, in addition to his
editorial work, pursued his study of the genus Laciniaria.
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 67
Dr. J. N. Rose, formerly associate curator of the division, but now
on furlough and servmg as a research associate of the Carnegie Insti-
tution of Washington, continued, at the Museum, his mvestigation
of the family Cactaceae, and in conjunction with Mr. Standley pub-
lished a revision of the North American species of Meibomia, section
Xephromeria. Dr. E. L. Greene, associate m botany, reported prog-
ress in the preparation of part 2 of ''Botanical Landmarks," and
pubUshed numerous short papers descriptive of new species mostly
from the western United States. Capt. John Donnell Smith, also
associate in botany, contmued his studies of previous years on the
flora of Central America, and brought together partial results in two
papers pubUshed during the year.
Among persons not connected with the Government who made
use of the resources of the division may be mentioned Dr. N. L,
Britton, director of the New York Botanical Garden, who is engaged
jointly with Dr. Rose in the investigation of the Cactaceae; Dr. D.T.
MacDougal, in charge of the department of botanical research of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington; Prof. WiUiam Trelease, of the
University of Illinois, who was studyuig Phoradendron and the oaks
of Mexico and Central America; and Dr. P. A. Rydberg, of the New
York Botanical Garden, who had in preparation a flora of the Rocky
Mountain region and an article on the family Rosaceae for the North
American Flora.
The number of plants lent to other institutions and to speciaUsts
was larger than in any year except the previous one, the principal
sendings having been as foUows: To the Royal Botanical Garden and
Museum, Berlin, Germany, specimens ofAcanthaceae, Araceae, Euphor-
biaceae and Orchidaceae, mainly from Panama, for determination for
the benefit of the National Museum; and specimens of Zamia and
Saxifragaceae for use in the preparation of matter for the "Pflanzen-
reich." To Prof. L. Radlkofer, of the Royal Botanical Museum,
Munich, Germany, specimens of Sapindaceae chiefly from Panama,
and to Dr. Georg Bitter, of Bremen, Germany, specimens of Solanum,
for naming in the interest of the National Museum. To the Royal
Botanic Gardens, Kew, England, specimens of the genus Marah. To
the University of Pennsylvania, specimens of Gerardia, Dasystoma
and related genera, for the use of ^Ir. F. W. PenneU, who is preparing
an elaborate revision of this group. To the Gray Herbarium of Har-
vard University, specimens of several groups for study by Dr. B. L.
Robinson, Prof. M. L. Fernald, Mr. Sidney F. Blake, and Mr. F. T.
Hubbard. To the New York Botanical Garden, specimens of Vac-
cmiaceae and Rosaceae for use in preparing articles for the North
American Flora, and specimens of Rocky Mountam plants for study
by Dr. P. A. Rydberg. To Prof. C. O. Rosendahl, of the University
68 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
of Minnesota, specimens of the genus Mitella, and to Mr. Marcus E.
Jones, of Salt Lake City, Utah, specimens of Astragalus.
Explorations.—The expedition of Mr. Childs Frick, of New York, to
eastern Africa, of wliich Dr. E. A. Mearns, U. S. Army (retired), an
associate of the Museum, was a member, and which left London in
January, 1912, as described in the last report, terminated in Sep-
tember following. Starting from French Somahland, the party pro-
ceeded through Abyssinia to British East Africa by way of Lake
Stefanie and Lake Rudolf, finally reaching Mombasa. Forming part
of the extensive collections of natural history obtained was a fine
series of about 5,000 birds, the subject of Dr. Mearns' particular atten-
tion, which Mr. Frick has generously placed in the Museum.
The hunting trip made by Dr. Theodore Lyman, of Harvard Uni-
versity, to the region of the Altai Mountains in Asia, on wliich he was
accompanied by Mr. N. HoUister of the Museum staff, met with very
gratifying results. The party was absent from May until September,
1912. Its course was over the Trans-Siberian Raihoad to the Obi
River, and up the latter by boat and later by tarantas and pack train
to the frontier range between Siberia and Mongoha. Collecting was
mainly done on the Siberia side and the mammals and birds obtained,
about 650 in number, have, through the courtesy of Dr. Lyman, been
divided between the Museum of Comparative Zoology and the
National Museum.
Reference was made in the last report to the fund generously pro-
vided by Dr. W. L. Abbott for the purpose of sending a naturahst to
Borneo to continue the important natural history exploration of that
island which he had personally carried on for a number of years,
greatly to the advancement of the collections of the Museum. At
the close of the year, Mr. H. C. Raven, who was dispatched on this
mission, had been absent about 16 months. While no formal report
has been received from him, it is known that he has followed along
the hues planned by Dr. Abbott, which were to explore in as much
detail as possible the coast rivers and islands of the northern half of
the south and east division of Dutch Borneo, which Dr. Abbott had
not been able to visit, pajang particular attention to the mammals
besides collecting any ethnological objects that might be of interest.
The material which Mr. Raven has already transmitted testifies that
liis work is proceeding successfully. Dr. Abbott, who returned to
Kashmir early in the spring of 1912, interested himself in trapping
and studying the habits of the smaller mammals of that countrj^, of
which he presented the Museum with a large number of specimens,
mostly from Baltistan, accompanied by much interesting information.
Mr. Arthur deC. Sowerby continued his collecting work in China and
forwarded during the year a number of mammals and reptiles.
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 69
In 1904 Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, jr., and Dr. Leonhard Stejneger con-
ducted field work in the western Alps of Europe, with the object of
comparing the vertical distribution of life in that region with the life
zones of North America. Certain of the problems connected with
tliis study were left undecided cliiefly on account of present-day con-
ditions beUeved to be of local significance only. During the spring
of 1913, under a grant from the Smithsonian Institution, Dr. Stej-
neger renewed these observations in the eastern Alps, where the con-
ditions were supposed to be more favorable. A month, beginning
April 20, was given to this work, the time being mainly devoted to an
investigation of the territory between the valley of the River Etsch
or Adige, as far north and west as Schlanders in Austrian Tirol, and
the valley of the River Brenta in Italy, especially the Val Sugana and
the plateau of the Sette Comuni, the Etsch valley in Tirol below
Trient, including Lake Garda, and between Bozen and Schlanders.
Dr. Stejneger was able to trace in some detail the hmits of the lower
and upper Austral hfe zones, and corroborated the previous observa-
tions in Switzerland relative to the distribution of the coniferous
trees. Inclement and rainy weather interfered with the work to
some extent and frustrated frequent attempts to make extensive
collections for the Museum.
The three young naturalists who started into the field the previous
year as temporary collaborators of the Museum all met with gratifying
results in their collecting work. ^'Ir. D. D. Streeter, of Brooklyn,
N. Y., who was absent from the middle of April until into December,
1912, passed from Sarawak into Dutch Borneo by ascendmg the
Rejang River and crossing the mountains on the dividing line to the
Kajan River. He then ascended to the head of this river and
crossed another range to the headwaters of the Mahakam River,
which he descended to the Strait of ^Macassar. He secured a small
but interesting collection of mammals, reptiles, and batrachians,
including two rhinoceros skuUs. Mr. George Mixter, of Boston,
Mass., spent the summer of 1912 in the vicinity of Lake Baikal,
Siberia, the main object of his trip being to obtain specimens of the
native bear and of the seal peculiar to Lake Baikal. Besides good
examples of both of these he also collected some small mammals, and
specimens of sponges and crustaceans from the lake. Mr. Copley
Amory, jr., of Cambridge, Mass., joined the Coast and Geodetic Sur-
vey party, imder !^'Ir. Thomas Riggs, jr., which was engaged in
surveying on the Alaska-Canadian boundary during the summer of
1912. Reaching New Rampart House on July 11, with a trapper and
three dogs, he packed over the mountains for 60 miles to the base of
supplies on the Old Crow. After a trip north to Joe Creek, a tributary
of the Firth, lasting two weeks, he proceeded with ^Ir. Riggs some
40 miles to the southwest of Old Crow in the caribou country.
70 EEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
Finally, in a canvas boat, built for the purpose, he made his way down
to the mouth of the river, a distance of about 300 miles. Mr. Amory
obtamed about 60 mammal skins, including a series of caribou, be-
sides many bones of fossil mammals of much interest, which are
referred to elsewhere.
Mr. A. C. Bent, of Taunton, Mass., spent the months of June, July
and August, 1912, in Newfoundland and Labrador for the purpose
of gathering further material and information for the work on the
life histories of North American birds which he has volimteered to
contmue. He visited a wide range of territory, in which he had
excellent opportmiities for making observations, especially on the
breedmg places and habits of the birds of the region. The trip proved
very successful, important data and a number of interesting photo-
graphs bemg secured. Some specimens of birds were also collected.
Dr. Paul Bartsch, assistant curator of mollusks, was enabled to
make a second trip to the Florida Keys and the Dry Tortugas,
through the courtesy of Dr. Alfred G. Mayer, director of the Marine
Biological Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and
as a guest of that institution on board the steamer Anton Dohrn.
He was absent about three weeks, from April 20, 1913, during which
he visited the several places where living specimens of the two races
of the genus Cerion of land shells from the Bahama Islands were
planted the j^revious year with the object of determining the effect
of change of environment. Notes were made on the condition of
the specimens, and collections of various groups of marme inver-
tebrates were obtained for the Museum. Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan,
of the Geological Survey and custodian of madreporarian corals in
the Museum, also spent a short time at the Carnegie laboratory on the
Dry Tortugas, studying the growth of stony corals and incidentally
collecting specimens of coral for the Museum. Mr. Jolin B. Hender-
son, a regent of the Smithsonian Institution, conducted further explo-
rations among the Florida Keys with his yacht Eolis during the spring
of 1913, and from the collections made he generously contributed an
excellent series of marine invertebrates accompanied by color notes
on some of the more striking forms. Dr. J. W. Fewkes, of the Bureau
of American Etlinology, during archeological explorations in the
West Indies, obtained for the Museum a small collection of sponges
at Grand Cayman Island, a dependency under Jamaica.
Through the courtesy of Dr. J. N. Kose and Dr. N. L. Britton, Mr.
Paul G. Russell, of the division of plants, was permitted to accompany
a joint expedition of the Carnegie Institution of Washington and
the New York Botanical Garden to the West Indies for the purpose
of obtaming plants for the National Museum. The special object of
the trip was the investigation of the cactus flora, but about 7,000
specimens of other groups were also secured, chiefly in the Lesser
REPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 71
Antilles and Santo Domingo, besides a number of reptiles and batra-
chians. Mr. P. C. Standley, assistant curator of plants, collected
while on leave in Missouri about 1,000 specimens of plants, which he
presented to the Museum.
Collecting work in the vicinity of Washington, mainly for fishes,
though some invertebrates were also obtained, was carried on from
time to time by members of the staff, without expense to the Museum.
It was mainly confuied to the Potomac River and its tributaries from
Plummer's Island to Mattawoman Creek, to branches of the Patuxent
River, and to Chesapeake Bay several miles south of Chesapeake
Beach. Those who participated in these trips were Mr. Barton A.
Bean, Mr. William Palmer, Mr. A. C. Weed, and Mr. Ernest B.
Marshall.
Exhibition collections.—The preparators of the department were
chiefly occupied during the year in mounting specimens for and
arranging the exhibition collections. The American mammals, the
marine invertebrates, and certain osteological material, which had
remained in the older buildings, were, with the exception of several
whale skeletons, transferred to and mainly reinstalled in the new
building. The most difficult part of this task consisted in dis-
mantling and reconstructing the two large groups of American bison
and moose. The moose group, which had been too greatly crowded,
was much improved by the removal of two specimens, but the bison
group was not changed. The other groups, namely, those of the
Rocky Mountain sheep and goats, the reindeer, antelope, and musk ox,
though not requirmg to be rebuilt, needed extensive repairs, which
was also true of many of the specimens moimted separately, and
notably the large Pacific walrus, the sea elephant, the California sea
lions, the manatee, and the dugong. The work connected with the
mammals was mostly done by Mr. George Marshall and Mr. C. E.
Mirguet, and that with the osteological specimens by Mr. J. W.
Scolhck.
The African, oriental, and palearctic mammals were overhauled and
placed in the new cases provided for them. Owing to delay m
securing the accessories desired for the zebra-oryx group, a temporary
installation was effected which made it possible to exliibit this beau-
tiful example of the taxidermist's art at the formal openmg of the
mammal hall on April 22, 1913. For the same occasion the African
buffalo group was also temporarily arranged, and the fourth large
case, destined for the rhinoceros group, was filled with mdividual
specimens collected by the Smithsonian African Expedition. Sub-
sequently the buffalo group, a very effective piece of work by Mr.
George B. Tm^ner, chief taxidei-mist of the Museum, was perma-
nently installed, and near the end of the year, Mr. J. L. Clark, of New
York, completed the white rhuaoceros group, on which he had been
72 REPORT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
engaged for nearly two years. The latter is believed to represent the
highest development of taxidermy either in this country or abroad,
not only in the artistic grouping, the well-balanced design, and the
truthful modeling of the animals themselves, but also in the masterly
treatment of the accessories. Moreover, by resorting to a new tech-
nique in mountmg the dry skin on the manikin, it is believed that a
degree of permanency has been secured which was impossible by the
older methods.
A beginning was naade in transferring the bird groups into new
all-glass top or mahogany frame cases, and the opportunity thus
afforded was utilized for repairing and otherwise improving the
exhibits. By a change in the arrangement of the general cases in
which the birds are displayed it has been possible to locate these
groups to better advantage and to increase the effectiveness of the
hall. Forty-eight birds were mounted and a number remodeled for
the exhibition series by Mr. N. R. Wood.
The outer end of the west wing on the second floor was opened to
the public early in March, this having been rendered feasible by the
rapid progress made in repairing and remounting the several hmi-
dred plaster casts of American fishes which now occupy the wall cases
and some of the floor cases in that space. The old standards and
bases formerly used for them were entirely discarded, and the casts
fastened directly on the backs of the cases, except those of the flat-
fishes, which are placed horizontally on sandy bottoms in table cases.
Though the amount of work involved in restormg this material,
mainly performed by Mr. William Palmer, was very great, it is fidly
justified by the results, and in its present condition the collection is
as attractive as it is interesting and instructive. Under the direction
of Dr. Paul Bartsch, considerable advancement was made with the
installation of marine invertebrates in the south hall of the second
floor, a large number of specimens having been prepared and colored,
and the arrangement of the fauna north of Cape Cod tentatively
completed.
The greater part of the systematic series of animals and the faunal
series of the District of Columbia were transferred to new cases. In
the osteological hall three new cases were added, namely, a large
wall case containing a comparative exhibit of the limbs of verte-
brates; a table case containing articulated and disarticulated skele-
tons of the various classes of vertebrates; and another of the same
kind in which the chemical constituents of the animal body are illus-
trated. A new and striking feature introduced among the exhibits
consists of 19 greatly enlarged models of the heads of as many difl'erent
kinds of bats, done in wax by Mr. E. E. Hannan and afterwards cast
in plaster, which serve to bring out clearly the peculiar physiognomy
of these small mammals.
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 73
DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY,
The department of geology received 168 accessions aggregating
20,285 specimens, distributed among the several divisions and
sections, as follows: Systematic and applied geology, 586; mineralogy
and petrology, 4,983; invertebrate paleontology, 12,268; vertebrate
paleontology, 647; and paleobotany, 1,801. Excellent progress was
made in all branches of the work, including the classification and
arrangement of the reserve collections, the improvement of the
exliibition series, and the perfecting of the records of specimens, to
such an extent, in fact, as to place the department in much better
condition than at any previous time in its history. All of the col-
lections, with the exception of certain unworked material, have been
made readily accessible, and by means of systematic card catalogues,
which have been mostly brought down to date, the exact location of
any particular specimens may be quickly ascertained.
Systematic and applied geology.—Among the more important
accessions to this division were a beautiful specimen of arborescent
copper free from gangue, and another showing the same occurrence
on a smaller scale in the original sandstone. They came from mines
near La Paz, Bolivia, and were received from the U. S. Geological
Survey. Exceptionally fine examples of zinc ores showing auri-
chalcite and smithsonite from the Tintic mining district, Utah, were
presented by the Yankee ConsoUdated Mining Company, of Salt
Lake City, through Mr. Victor C. Heikes. A series of radio-active
materials and products, assembled by Dr. George F. Kunz, of New
York City, and transmitted by him as a gift, includes specimens from
Sir William Crookes, of London, England, and Dr. Alexander Phillips,
of !^inceton University. A number of interesting laterite specimens
from various locaHties in India were obtained in exchange from the
Geological Survey of India. The additions to the meteorite collection
were as follows: Three nearly complete individuals of the Holbrook
meteoric stone which fell July 19, 1912, near Aztec, Ariz., donated
by Ml". F. C. Chekal, of Holbrook, Ariz. ; an excellent example of a
nearly complete individual of the Holbrook meteorite, weighing 1,120
grams, the gift of Mr. Clarence S. Bement, of Philadelphia, Pa.,
through Prof. F. W. Clarke; an example, weighing 625 grams, of the
interesting brecciated meteoric stone which fell at St. Michel, Finland,
July 12, 1910, acquired through exchange with the Foote Mineral
Company, of Philadelphia, Pa.; and 18 fragments filling important
gaps in the exhibition series, purchased from IVIrs. Coonley Ward.
The installation and labeling of the exhibition collections received
a proportionately large amount of attention. A work well advanced
and soon to be completed was the provision of group labels for the
cases in the section of applied geology, intended to broadly desig-
74 EEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
nate their contents, and so placed as to be conspicuous without
marring the general effect. In course of preparation was another
series of larger, supplementary labels, containing such descriptive
scientific and industrial information as will lead to a fuller compre-
hension of the exhibits than can be obtained from the specimens
themselves. These labels, w^hich will be accompanied by maps show-
ing the important producing centers for each of the industries repre-
sented, will be framed against the walls, each in close juxtaposition
with the group to which it relates. In connection with the work of
labeling, the exhibition cases were thoroughly refurbished, the speci-
mens remounted and many of them reidentified and numbered.
Minor changes and additions were also made, including the installa-
tion of a series of 14 wall panels, each 48 by 96 inches, intended
primarily for displaying large slabs of building and ornamental stones.
Two new waU cases were provided for exhibits of onyx marble and
mineral waters, and four additional pedestals or bases were added in
the hall of systematic geology. The Shepard collection of meteorites
was overhauled, many of the small specimens were withdrawn from
exhibition and the remainder arranged in a smaU Kensington case,
thereby giving the collection greater individuality. Eeading tables
with reference books were placed in the various haUs.
The reserve series was entirely rearranged in drawers, by kind
and locality, and indexed by cards. This index, now consisting of
about 20,000 cards, furnishes a classified record of all the material,
with cross references, and an alphabetical list of the economically
significant minerals so far as it has been possible to identify them
without exhaustive cheniical study.
The head curator of the department, Dr. George P. MerriU, under a
grant from the National Academy of Sciences, continued his researches
on the minor constituents of meteorites, of which a preHminary
report was published. Further work in this direction is contem-
plated. Dr. Merrill also investigated and pubHshed on the Cullison,
Perryville and Holbrook meteorites, and had in progress a series of
simple tests designed to show the relative solubiUty of certain types
of building materials in water acidulated with carbonic acid. Mr.
Chester G. Gilbert and Dr. J. E. Pogue, assistant curators, respec-
tively, of the divisions of geology and of mineralogy and petrology,
made a detailed study of the copper ores of the Mount LyeU region,
Tasmania, and undertook prelirninary work looking toward an inves-
tigation of the origin of the chromite ores and of the nature of the
copper in the so-called cupriferous pyrrhotite type of ores.
Mineralogy and petrology.—The most noteworthy acquisition of
minerals consisted of 51 specimens received from the Geological Sur-
vey, including excellent specimens of ferberite, woKramite, scheelite,
roscoehte, rutile, cassiterite, etc. PoHshed and unpoHshed speci-
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 75
mens of cliiysoprase and rutile in quartz, pink tourmaline with crystals
of lepidolite, a specimen of manganese from Panama, and six speci-
mens of polished agate constituted a valuable gift from Mr. A. E.
Heighway, of New York City, to whom the Museum was also indebted
for the loan of 3 tourmaUne crystals and 4 cut pieces of gem chryso-
prase, the latter being exceptionally fine examples. Eleven speci-
mens of gems, including a beautiful suite of poUshed black opals from
New South Wales and jade from China, were obtained by purchase.
All of the important accessions in petrology were transmitted by the
Geological Survey and comprised the following, namely: One hun-
dred and seventy-one specimens illustrating the geology and ore
deposits of the Park City district, Utah, described in Professional
Paper No. 77 of the Survey, by Mr. J. M. Boutwell; 125 specimens
of rocks from the Northeastern and RepubUc mining districts of
Washington, described in a bulletin of the Survey now in press, by
Prof. Waldemar Lindgren and Mr. Howland Bancroft; and 451 rock
and ore specimens from the mining districts of New Mexico, described
in Professional Paper No. 68 of the Survey, by Prof. Lindgren, Mr.
Louis C. Graton and Mr. Charles H. Gordon.
The reorganization of the collections in this division, following the
same Hnes as in systematic and appUed geology, was carried well
toward completion. A number of very desirable additions were
made to the exhibition series of minerals, and an extensive display of
petrological material was installed. The work of rearranging and
labeHng the reserve series, including the cleaning of specimens, was
sufficiently advanced to make these collections convenient of access,
the specimens most needed for reference being provided for in and
adjacent to the laboratories in the third story and the remainder,
constituting the greater bulk of the material, being stored in cases
in the attic. The segregation of the dupHcate specimens was also in
large part accomphshed. The work of the year related very largely
to the petrological collections, the minerals having previously received
most attention. The former are of very considerable extent and in-
clude many type sets from the Geological Survey. The labehng of
the exhibition series as now constituted was completed, and card
catalogues covering the same, as also the reserve series, thes type
specimens and the dupHcates, have been prepared.
The comprehensive monograph on the turquois, mentioned in the
last report, was completed by Dr. Pogue, who also made a crystal-
lographic study of cerussite.
Invertebrate 'paleontology.—^Most prominent among the additions to
the section of invertebrate paleontology were three transfers from the
Geological Survey. The first of these comprised the type, figured
and other important specimens, to the number of 1,952, described
by Prof. Henry S. Williams in two monographs now in press by the
76 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
Survey, one of whicli deals with the IVIiddle Devonian rocks, particu-
larly of New York State, and the other and larger one with the early
Devonian rocks of Maine, from wliich the Museum has hitherto had
practically no material. The second consisted of 300 specimens from
the Silurian rocks of the Eastport (IVIaine) quadrangle, including
many types, wliich have been the subject of a paper by Prof. Williams
pubUshed by the Museum, and of a larger work to be issued by the
Survey, and which are of particular interest as the area had not
previously been represented in the Museum, and also because of the
relationship of the Maine Silurian faunas to those of Europe. The
thhd accession, containing approximately 4,000 Ordovician fossils
fi'om the Central Basin of Tennessee, collected several years ago by
Mr. E. O. Uh'ich and Dr. R. S. Bassler, although including no type
material is of much stratigraphic value.
Some 800 specimens of Paleozoic fossils from the Detroit River and
other series of Canada, obtained by purchase from Rev. Thomas
Nattress, of Amherstburg, Ontario, are especially important in that
they illustrate the life of the uppermost Silurian and lowermost
Devonian formations of the Detroit River region, from which the
Museum has hitherto received no collections. The material derives
additional significance from the fact that it can not be duplicated.
About 1,000 specimens of lowest Silurian fossils were collected for
the Museum in southwestern Ohio by Dr. Bassler, and about 500
specimens of Devonian and Lower Carboniferous moUusks from the
ISIississippi Valley were contributed by ^Ir. Frank Springer. Two
collections of Tertiary fossils from various locaUties in the Canal
Zone, collected for the Museum by JVIr. D. F. MacDonald, the geolo-
gist of the Isthmian Canal Commission, were received during the
year, one through that Commission, the other through the Costa
Rica-Panama Boundary Ai'bitration Commission. Two fine slabs of
fossil crinoids, presented by !Mr. Thomas E. WiUiams, of Arvonia,
Va., through Prof. T. Nelson Dale, are of such exceptional character
that they were placed on exhibition. An important series of 56
Mesozoic sponges, desired for display purposes, was obtained in ex-
change from the Peabody Museum of Yale University.
Much attention was paid to the improvement of the exhibition
collections of invertebrate paleontology, which included the fol-
lowing new installations, namely, a geological column illustrating
the arrangement of the rock formations of New Hampshire; a selec-
tion from the remarkably preserved fauna of the Middle Cambrian
formations of British Columbia, collected and described by Secretary
Walcott; a biological series of fossil sponges and graptolites; and a
large slab of the crinoid Scyphocrinus. A card catalogue of the
specimens on exhibition and the manuscript for about 1,200 labels
were prepared. The acquisitions of the year were catalogued and
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 77
arranged; the card catalogue of all Paleozoic fossils was brought down
to date; the large number of thin sections, many of which remained on
the rough glass sUdes on which they were made, were transferred to
fresh slides and properly covered and labeled; and the collection
of Cambrian brachiopods described by Secretary Walcott in Mono-
graph 51 of the Geological Survey was arranged and partially labeled.
Some 50 boxes of material which had been in storage were opened
and their contents appropriately assigned. ^Ir. Frank Springer
gave generously of liis time to the classification and arrangement of
the large collection of fossil echinoderms, of wliich about one-third,
fiUing over 300 standard drawers, had been revised by the end of the
year. The Tertiary collections, under Dr. WiUiam H. Dall, were also
in course of revision looking to the improvement of their installation.
Dr. Charles D. Walcott, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution,
continued his studies of the Lower and Mddle Cambrian faunas of the
Canadian Rockies, paying particular attention to the finely preserved
material from the Burgess shale at Field, British Columbia. He
finished and pubhshed his researches on the Upper Cambrian fauna
of New York, and had well advanced a monograph on the trilobite
genus DicellocepJialus. Dr. R. S. Bassler, curator of the division
of paleontology, conducted researches in preparation of a monograph
on the bryozoa of the American Tertiary, which is expected to occupy
him for at least another year. He completed an article based on a
new exhibit of fossil crinoids and prepared the faunal and illustra-
tion sheets for the Cincinnati Foho of the Geological Survey. Mr.
Frank Springer, associate in paleontology, carried well toward com-
pletion his monograph on the Crinoidea Jlexihilia, the numerous
quarto plates for which were finished, and had nearly ready for pub-
lication a monograph on the crinoid genus Scyphocrinus. He also
had in preparation an article on the pecuHar group of Cremacrinidse.
Dr. William H. Dall, associate curator in charge of the Cenozoic col-
lection, completed a study of the Ohgocene deposits of Tampa, Fla.,
and had nearly finished a description of the new brackish water
fauna of the Satilla River of Georgia, and of Alexander, Tex. He
was also engaged in working up the Tertiary fauna of western America
and devoted considerable attention to that of the Panama Canal
Zone in collaboration with the geologist of the Isthmian Canal Com-
mission.
Vertebrate 'paleontology.—Through the addition of over 400 speci-
mens, representing many new genera and species, to the already
important collection of rare early Tertiary (Fort Union) mammals
from Sweet Grass County, Mont., this section is now in possession
of a sufficient variety of material to make possible an intelligent
study of the fauna of that geological horizon. In Pleistocene cave
deposits near Cumberland, Md., ^Mr. J. W. Gidley collected over 100
78 BEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
specimens, representing 22 recognizable genera and a slightly greater
number of species, several of which are new to science. Mr. Copley
Amory, jr., of Columbia University, while serving as a collaborator
of the Museum, obtained some 30 fragmentary fossil mammal bones
from the Old Crow River, Yukon Territory, about 100 miles north
of the Ai'ctic Circle, one of which is a phalanx or toe bone of a species
of large camel, the first evidence of the former occurrence of this
animal north of the United States. A nearly complete skull of a
fossil horse, which had been described by Dr. O. P. Hay, and a tooth
of a mastodon were received as a loan from Mr. C. P. Snyder, of
Tofty, Alaska. A miscellaneous collection of fossil mammahan
remains from the Miocene deposits of the shores of Chesapeake Bay
in the vicinity of Chesapeake Beach, Md., was presented by Mr.
Wilham Palmer and Mr. A. C. Weed, of the Museum staff.
By the employment of temporary help an exceptional amount of
preparatory work was accomplished, probably more than in any pre-
vious year. Attention was mainly directed to certain miscellaneous
material belonging to the Marsh collection, consisting of fragmentary
vertebrate remains still embedded in the matrix as received from
the field a number of years ago. This material fills several hundred
boxes and trays, of wliich the contents of 46 boxes and 150 trays were
cleaned up and the bones assembled for each individual specimen
represented. Several new and unexpected finds resulted, including
many complete ribs of Teleoceras, anumber of skulls and jaws of the large
creodont MerycocTicerus and of rare carnivores from the John Day and
Miocene beds of Nebraska, and a new genus and species of dinosaur
from the Lance formation of Wyoming which has been described by
Mr. Gilmore under the name Thescelosaurus neglectus. The last
mentioned is represented by a nearly complete skeleton, which seems
to have been entirely overlooked by Prof. O. C. Marsh, under whose
direction the material was collected. Much was also done toward
cleaning the specimens from the cave in Cumberland, Md., received
during the year. Other work turned out by the preparators com-
prised a free mount of the small two-horned rhinoceros, Diceratherium,
a reUef mount of the dinosaur Stegosaurus stenops, mounts of a large
hind limb of Brontosaurus and of a considerable number of small
batrachians and reptiles, and remounts of a skeleton of Hesperomis
regalis and of a cast of Pareiasaurus haini. The type specimen of
Hoplitosaurus marshi was cleaned, good progress was made on a free
mount of a skeleton of Stegosaurus, of which genus some 100 separate
bones of other individuals were prepared for the reserve series, and
work on a nearly complete tail of a large bipedal dinosaur, Trachodon,
was well under way.
Mr. Charles W. Gilmore, assistant curator of fossil reptiles, de-
scribed the new dinosaur from the Lance formation of Wyoming
BEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 79
above referred to, and continued work on his monograph of the
armored dinosaurs represented in the Museum collection, with special
reference to the osteology of Stegosaurus, which he expects to finish
during the current year. Mr. James W. Gidley, assistant curator of
fossil mammals, completed a preliminary investigation of the recently
discovered cave deposits at Cumberland, Md., and continued his
study of the Fort Union mammals.
Paleobotany.—The principal addition to the section of paleobotany,
received from the Geological Survey, consisted of 271 types and
figured specimens and about 1,500 other specimens of Cretaceous
and Tertiary plants from the Raton-Mesa region of Colorado and
New Mexico, which had served as the basis of a monograph by Dr.
F. H. EJiowlton, now in press by the Survey.
The introduction of two new wall cases in the exhibition hall per-
mitted a partial readjustment of the collections there. The reserve
series of the section was rearranged and labeled, largely through the
services of Mr. T, E. WilUard, of the Geological Survey, under the
supervision of Dr. Knowlton. The arrangement is stratigraphical
and by locaHty, and is covered by a card catalogue. Dr. Knowlton,
who is custodian of mesozoic plants, continued his studies on the
Museum collection of fossil plants from Florissant, Colo.
Examination ofspecimens.—The department of geology, more than
either of the others, is called upon to examine and report on specimens
sent to the Museum for determination from all parts of the country.
During last year 540 separate lots were received, of which 494 lots
consisted of rocks, ores, and minerals, forwarded mainly in the belief
that they would be found to indicate mineral deposits of value.
While the Museum is not equipped for conducting elaborate analyses,
simple determinative methods are sufficiently conclusive in most
cases, and such information as could readily be given was furnished to
the applicants.
Explorations.—The only geological field work carried on directly by
the Museum consisted of the examination of a small cave in Devonian
limestone exposed in a railroad cut near Cumberland, Md., which
was found to contain a large number and great variety of fossil verte-
brate remains of Pleistocene age. The locaUty was visited by Mr.
J. W. Gidley in October, 1912, and again in May and June, 1913,
without, however, completing the investigation. In the material
brought to the Museum over 30 distinct species of mammals have
already been distinguished, the most of which represent forms now
extinct or living in remote regions. Among them are the jaws of a
new species of dog and the nearly complete skull of an extinct ante-
lope closely related to the eland of Africa. While the specimens are
all fragmentary, some of them are sufficiently well preserved to be
used for exhibition purposes.

80 REPOKT OF NATION-AL MUSEUM, 1913.
Dr. Charles D. Walcott, Secretary of the Institution, continued his
geological investigations in the Canadian Rockies, and in the Mount
Robson region of Alberta discovered a new and interesting Cambrian
fauna. His season's work resulted in a very large and rich collection
of Cambiian fossils. Dr. R. S. Bassler, on detail for several weeks
with the United States and Maryland geological surveys, obtained
important series of fossils for the Museum in Ohio and Maryland, and
!Mr. Copley Amory, jr., serving as a collaborator of the Museum and
at his own expense, secured interesting vertebrate remains in Alaska,
as before described.
Under the direction and at the expense of ^ir. Frank Springer,
associate in paleontology, !Mr. Frederick Braun made prolonged trips
through the Appalachian VaUey from Virginia to Tennessee in search
of crinoids and cystids in the Ordo%dcian limestone. Later, in the
region of Cape Girardeau, Mo., Mr. Braun secured from Lower De-
vonian rocks some remarkable examples of the bulbous rooted cri-
noid, Scyphocrinus, which show that the so-called Camarocrinus is
only the root of this form. Four large slabs containing specimens
illustrating this discovery were sent to the Museum.
THE ARTS AND INDUSTRIES.
Somewhat over a year ago, as explained in the last report, active
steps were taken toward rehabihtating those branches of the depart-
ment of the arts and industries which, established in 1880, have for
a considerable period been in a disorganized condition owing to the
necessity of turning over to other subjects the space they had been
occupying, and thereby forcmg their collections into storage. By the
transfer of the natural history departments to the new building ac-
commodations have been secured for rene%ving the work in these neg-
lected branches, which will be pressed as rapidly as the means permit.
The present plans call for the development and illustration of the
several subjects on a broader and more practical basis than had orig-
inally been contemplated, so that, aside from the primary purpose
of education, the collections will serve as distinct aids to the great
industries of the United States in demonstrating their importance
in the life of our people and in recording the economic changes tak-
ing place in each of them. The progress made up to the close of last
year, as evidenced in the exliibition halls, was sufficiently great to
very materially attract public notice.
In extending its influence over the industrial interests of the
country wdth a view to their promotion and their regulation, the
Federal Government has established a number of bureaus for con-
ducting investigations and experiments, and even for rendering direct
assistance which is being done in many ways. With this important
I
BEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM^ 1913. 81
work the Museum does not come in competition. Its object in this
connection as witli the natural history branches, and as defined by
law, is to supplement the activities of the bureaus and to cooperate
in furthering theii* purposes. The Museum is the depository for the
material things collected by these bureaus or desirable to assemble
hi their behalf and in behalf directly of the industries themselves,
illustrating the extent and variety of raw materials used by the lat-
ter, their methods, their products and their history. As to the utHity
of the Museum's part in this great field, almost daily instances can
be cited, despite the present very incompleteness of the collections,
and with the rounding out of its organization and the building up
of its collections, the department cannot fail to do for this country
what corresponding mstitutions have accompUshed for the indus-
tries of England, France and Germany.
Without disturbing at present the relations of the several art-
industrial branches which have continued to be administered under
the Museum organization into three departments, established in 1897,
and also without fully maturing plans for a thoroughly comprehensive
department of the arts and industries, attention has for the moment
been mainly directed to two subjects which are of paramount impor-
tance and which, next to those industries concerned with the produc-
tion of food, occupy the foremost place among the industries of this
country, namely, textiles and mineral technology. In connection
with the former subject, however, certain other products of animal
and vegetable origin are likewise receiving consideration.
Owing to the diversity of conditions underlying the illustration of
the different industries, a uniform policy applicable to all branches is
quite impossible. With the textiles and certain other subjects in
which this method can be carried out, it is proposed, as in natm-al
history, to divide the collections into two main groups, an exhibition
series and a study or reference series. As planned for the division
of textiles, the exhibition series, aside from a historical display, set-
ting forth important stages in its development, will be mainly illus-
trative of the latest processes and products of the industry, the mate-
rials being selected and arranged and labeled to fm-nish an impressive
object lesson for the pubhc. The reference series, maintained for the
benefit of manufacturers and technical students, will, on the other
hand, consist of a large, comprehensive and constantly increasing col-
lection of authentic and standardized raw and manufactured mate-
rials, which, not requiring to be displayed, may be provided for in a
compact arrangement, though demanding an elaborate classification,
provisions for easy reference, and a system of labeling and cataloguing
that wiU tend to its full and ready utilization. In mineral technology
the conditions are not dissimilar, though its field has for some time
82 REPOBT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
been partly covered by the collections of applied geology and min-
eralogy organized as branches of the department of geology. The
most important work to be immediately undertaken relates to the
processes of mining and manufactiu-e.
The division of mineral technology, which had been nominally
recognized since 1904, with Dr. Charles D. Walcott as honorary
ciu-ator, was last year given a definite status with a paid curatorship.
Mr. Chester G. Gilbert, previously assistant curator of systematic and
applied geology, was appointed to this position but as the change did
not take place until in June, there is essentially no progress to report
in this connection. The extensive collections received from exhibit-
ors at the St. Louis Exposition of 1904, consistmg of various models
and of many examples of crude and finished mining products, will
first be gone over, and as much of the material as is of permanent
value will be put in shape as rapidly as possible. Attention will also
at once be given to the formulation of plans covering at least the more
important features to be illustrated in the pubHc halls, in order that
steps may be taken without delay to acquire the necessary additional
exhibits. The work of preparing and installing the models, some of
which are large and complicated, involves considerable thought and
labor, and must, therefore, proceed somewhat slowly, but the several
rooms will be successively opened to the public as they are placed in
presentable condition. The exhibition as a whole promises to be
especially notable and quite in advance of anything of the kind here-
tofore attempted.
The reestablishment of the division of textiles was effected some-
what over a year earher, or on March 1, 1912, with the appointment
as curator of Mr. Frederick L. Lewton, who was also given charge
of such other economic plant and animal products as are not other-
wise specifically provided for. The last four months of the fiscal
year 1912 were mainly occupied in unpacking and overhauling the
collections formerly exliibited, but long in storage, a work which
continued into the early part of last year. Much of the material was
found to have seriously deteriorated, though the greater part remained
in condition to be utihzed, and, having been mostly assembled over
25 years ago, it is especially valuable for its bearing on the history
and development of the subjects represented. Notwithstanding the
late period of the year when this work was started, a very considerable
exhibition of a provisional nature, based entirely on these collections,
had also been installed by the end of June, 1912. In 37 cases on the
gallery of the south hall in the older building were arranged a series
of the raw materials and of the successive stages of manufacture of all
the important textile and cordage fibers, comprising silk, cotton and
other seed hairs, flax, hemp, jute and other bast fibers, palm, grass,
leaf and other structural fibers, wools and hairs, felt, knit goods,
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM^ 1913. 83
carpets, cordage, and machine-made laces. Many samples of hand-
some Japanese figured silks were also shown. Placed tentatively in
the west south range were exhibits of raw silks, raffia, and pine needle
fiber, manufactured ramie, ingrain carpets, and paper fabrics. Of
animal products, 15 cases were filled with specimens illustrating the
utiUzation and manufacture of ivory, bone, horn, tortoise-shell,
whalebone, feathers, hair, bristles, gut, sponges, shells, and leather.
Of the collection of foods no definite disposition had been made
except to fumigate and further safeguard for reference the very
valuable series of food materials of the American Indians, which were
collected during important ethnological investigations and which it
would now be impossible to replace.
During last year marked progress was made in the acquisition of
textile material, in the extension of the exhibition collections, and in
the general work of the division. All of the producers who were
approached, recognizing the importance of the scheme proposed in its
bearing on this varied and extensive industry which comes into such
intimate and personal relation with the people, gave it their unquaH-
fied approval, with such cordial assurance of support as to insure the
reahzation of the Museum's plans in this direction. The exhibitions
of the division will center in the south hall of the older building, where
the installations of the year were mainly placed. Thence they will
extend into the east-south range and the southeast court, and occupy
such of the adjacent galleries as they may require.
The total number of accessions during the year in the line of
textiles was 33, of which the more important, all generously pre-
sented except as otherwise noted, were as follows: A collection of silk
fabrics, etc., from Messrs. Cheney Brothers, of South Manchester,
Conn., consists of piece-dyed, yarn-dyed, printed, jacquard, and pile
goods, samples of raw and thrown silk, and specimens illustrating
processes in the manufacture of spun silk yarn. The series showing
the utilization of silk wastes in the manufacture of spun silk yarns
is of special interest as this branch of the industry is but little known
by the general public. The samples of dress silks comprise the
finest quahties of satins, foulards, taffetas, ottomans, bengalines,
chiffons, voiles, crapes, etc., while the drapery silks include broch^s,
armures, satin damasks, fine reproductions of antique brocades,
reproductions of Venetian velvets, etc. The National Silk Dyeing
Company, of Paterson, N. J., contributed a collection of silk fabrics
and yarns which has been arranged to show the application of color
to silk and illustrate skein and piece dyeing and surface and warp
printing of silks. It includes skeins of thrown silk arranged in a
carefully graduated series of 150 shades. The Bureau of Entomology
of the Department of Agriculture deposited a series of silk cocoons
and raw silk, and a few models of appliances used in rearing silk-
84 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
worms, besides a papier-macli6 model of a silkworm 24 inches long,
which may be taken apart for studying the internal anatomy. Sam-
ples of the principal varieties of commercial raw silk were received
from Messrs. A. P. Villa & Brothers, of New York City.
For a large number of 3-yard samples of plain and fancy cotton
goods, comprising percales, shirtmgs, organdies, challies, crepes and
flannels, in dress goods; and silkalines, cretonnes, driUings, scrims,
and etamines, in drapery and upholstery materials, the Museum is
indebted to the Pacific Mills, of Lawrence, Mass., through Messrs.
Lawi'ence & Co., of Boston; and from the same source were also
secured 89 large foho albums contaming samples of American and
foreign cotton, silk and woolen goods, covering the period between
1878 and 1910, which will form the basis for an extensive reference
collection arranged by periods. Specimens of velveteen and corduroy,
illustratmg the processes of manufacture, with which most persons
are unfamiliar, were presented by the Merrimack Manufactm^ing Co.,
of Lowell, Mass., likewise through Messrs. Lawrence & Co. A set
of official grades of white American cotton now used in all cotton
exchanges for gradmg American upland cotton, and a large collection
of carefully identified raw plant fibers, which will be of great value
in the preparation of microscopic mounts of authentic material,
were received by transfer from the Bureau of Plant Industry of the
Department of Agriculture. Samples of rough and harsh Peruvian
and Chinese cotton imported into the United States for mixing with
the wool in the production of flannels, underwear and hosiery, were
contributed by the Wonalancet Co., of Nashua, N. H., and specimens
of cotton dress Imings, by Messrs. A. G. Hyde & Sons, of New York.
The American Woolen Co., of Boston, Mass., presented a fine series
of specimens and a set of 71 photographs iUustrating the processes in
the manufacture of worsted yarn according to both the French and
English systems, and also samples of woolen and worsted fabrics,
the latter having been prepared in the National and Providence
Worsted Mills, at Providence, R. I., imder the direction of Mr. G. B.
Bartlett, assistant treasurer. From Mr. Augustus E. Ingram,
American consul at Bradford, England, was received a series of
specimens and photographs mounted on ten large cards, illustratmg
the manufacturing processes for fine wools, colored yarn-spinning,
blending of colored tops and the finishing processes for worsted goods,
an instructive exhibit prepared by Prof. A. M. Barker of the Brad-
ford Technical College with the consent of the Education Committee
of the city of Bradford.
Examples of curtain fringes and upholstery trimmings, contributed
by the William H. Horstmann Company, of Philadelphia, Pa.,
elucidate the great transformation in the types of household uphol-
stery trimmings which has taken place during the last decade, in
I
REPORT OF ITATION-AL MUSEUM, 1918. 85
whicli the heavy silk tassels and fringes have given place to sanitary
decorations in the form of light cotton trimmings. The same com-
pany also presented 5 pairs of heavy silk curtain loops, imported by
the founder of the firm about 40 years ago, being authentic specimens
representing different periods of design, from the Gothic to the
Napoleonic period.
A series of specimens showing the manufacture of linen thread, in-
cluding rough and dressed samples of Dutch, Flemish, Irish and
Courtri flax, and yarns and thread in hanks and on spools, was donated
by the Linen Thread Co., of New York City; and another series
covering the manufacture of ramie thread and yarn, from the crude
fiber to the finished material, and including weaving, knitting and
novelty threads, was received from the Superior Thi^ead & Yarn Co.,
of New York City.
A very instructive exhibit, including both specimens and photo-
graphs, demonstrating the manufacture of Wilton and Brussels
rugs and carpets, from Mr. M. J. Wliittall, of Worcester, Mass., has
attracted much attention. It contains a partly fhiished piece of
Brussels and Wilton carpet, showing in place the wires by means of
which the looped or velvet surfaces are obtained. Samples of millinery
braids, includmg many beautiful patterns and illustrating the
variety of materials from which they are now made, were contributed
by Messrs. Isler & Guye, of New York, who also furnished a collection
of the principal varieties of woven or body hats now imported into
this country.
A collection of Philippine mats, baskets, hats, fabrics and other
useful articles, together with the raw, fibrous materials from which
they are made, and accompanied by photographs and herbarium
specimens of the plants used, was obtained by purchase from the
Bureau of Education, at Manila, P. I. It contains fine examples of
the famous Romblon and Tanay mats and Buntal or Lucban hats.
The chief value of the collection consists in the correct botanical
identification of the materials employed in making the various ob-
jects, and these authentic specimens will be of much value m the
determination of future acquisitions.
A 600-hook, single lift, Jacquard machine, made by Crompton
& Knowles, was presented by the Sauquoit Silk Manufacturing
Company, of Philadelphia, Pa., and wUl be used to demonstrate the
principles and operation of this important textile device. A self-
threading shuttle of the latest model and complying with the recent
Massachusetts sanitary shuttle law was the gift of the Draper Com-
pany, of Hopedale, Mass., which also sent an old loom reed, such as
was in use 60 or 70 years ago. In this the dents are made of cane
or split bamboo instead of whe as at present. Specimens of pitch-
band reeds for use in cotton, silk, and wool looms, and of all-metal
86 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
reeds for fine silk and ribbon looms, were received from the Knowles
Loom Reed Works, of New Bedford, Mass.; and an unusual liand
spinning wheel, brought from Belgium by her grandfather about
200 years ago, was deposited by Mrs. Chas. W. McFee, of Washing-
ton. The Arabol Manufacturing Company, of New York, contrib-
uted a comprehensive exhibit of cloth and yarn-finishmg materials,
comprising gums, glues, starches, soaps, oils, sizes, and other stiffen-
ing or softening compounds.
Besides the foregoing there were several important additions to
the collection of vegetable products other than textiles. The most
noteworthy related to the invention and application of vulcanized
rubber by the late Charles Goodyear, and was deposited by his
grandson, Mr. Nelson Goodyear, of New York. The collection
includes life-size portraits of Charles Goodyear, Charles Good-
year, jr., and Daniel Webster, done in oils on panels of hard rubber
by G. P. A. Healy in 1855; a book of manuscript notes and sketches
pertaining to the application of vulcanized rubber, by Charles Good-
year; 12 medals of gold, silver, and bronze, awarded the inventor;
a chatelaine watch and chaia, mounted in hard rubber and inlaid
with jewels; and other pieces of jewelry. The chatelaine, a gift of
Charles Goodyear to his wife, is a replica of one presented by him
to Empress Eugenie of France. Specimens of gutta percha, rubber
and rubber-tree products, and of cocoanuts and cocoanut products
were contributed by the Forestry Department of the Federated
Malay States, through Mr. Leonard Wray, Commissioner to the
Third International Rubber and Allied Trades Exposition at New
York; and a trunk of the Para rubber tree (Hevea hrasiliensis),
illustrating the herringbone method of tapping, was presented by
the Ceylon Commissioners to the same exposition, on behalf of
the Royal Botanic Gardens, at Peradeniya, Ceylon. A collection
of small samples of commercial grades of crude rubber was received
from the New York Commercial Company.
The Treasury Department, through the Supervising Tea Exam-
iner, furnished samples of the official tea standards which are used
in testing the quality of every pound of tea imported into the United
States, There are twelve standards for the current year, repre-
senting all the main types of tea received from abroad. The Corn
Products Refining Company, of New York, contributed a series of
specimens illustrating the starches, sugars, oil, and other products
obtained from corn.
The curator of the division, !Mr. Frederick L. Lewton, made
several visits to the textile centers of the country for the purpose
of gettmg in touch with the textile manufacturers and of studying
the textUe industries at first hand, as well as of soliciting material
for the Museum, and most of the accessions of the year resulted
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 87
from these trips. A study of the foreign and indigenous cottons,
begun by him before his appomtment to the Museum, resulted in
the publication during the year of three papers, dealing, respectively,
with the cottons of the Hopi Indians in Arizona and the Indians
of Rubelzul in eastern Guatemala, and with a new genus of Hawaiian
trees which had formerly been considered as congeneric with the
cottons. A systematic investigation of the cottons of Africa and
the Indian Ocean region has been commenced with the object of
determining the number of species and varieties occurring in those
areas and the proper identification of the types of staples coming
on the market. An annotated glossary of textile fabrics, which it
is hoped can be illustrated by actual specimens, has also been started,
and descriptions of new fabrics appearing on the market and men-
tioned in the trade papers are being recorded.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGE OF SPECIMENS.
The distribution of dupHcate material to schools and colleges for
teaching purposes comprised 48 regular sets, of which 2 were of
rocks, 26 of ores and minerals and 20 of fossil invertebrates, and the
same number of sets specially prepared, consisting mainly of marine
invertebrates, msects, fishes, rocks, ores, minerals, and fossils,
besides about 1,500 pounds of material suitable for blowpipe and
assay analysis. The total number of specimens used for this pur-
pose was about 7,300. Over 21,000 duplicates were also disposed of
in exchange transactions, about 84 per cent of this number being
plants. Two hundred and six lots of specimens were sent to special-
ists, both at home and abroad, for study and classification, mainly
on behalf of the Museum, but also to some extent in the interest of
research work for other institutions. They comprised 6,437 ani-
mals, 4,542 plants, and 2,048 rocks, minerals and fossils, a total of
13,027 specimens, besides 742 packages of unassorted marine inverte-
brates.
The establishments abroad with which exchange relations were had
during the year were as follows: The British Museum of Natural
History, London, the Koyal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the University
Botanic Garden, Cambridge, and Alexandra Park, Manchester,
England; the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, and the Herbarium of

NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART.
The permanent acquisitions during the year consisted of 1 1 paint-
ings, of wliich 9 are in oil and 2 in pastel. Seven of these were
additions by Mr. William T. Evans, of New York, to the collection of
the works of contemporary American painters, of wliich the initial
gift, comprising 36 examples, was made in the early part of 1907.
With consistent faith in the future of the Gallery and encouraged
by the pubhc appreciation of the part he was taldng in furtherance
of this belated effort to realize one of the most important conditions
imposed by the Smithsonian Act of 1846, Mr. Evans has generously
continued year by year to materially augment liis most desirable
donation until at the close of last year it numbered 144 pamtings, in
which 103 artists of this country, some deceased, but the great
majority still Hving, were represented. For the period covered it is
the most comprehensive and the most important collection of Ameri-
can works that has been assembled in any of our museums. The
contributions of ^Mr. Evans during last year were as foUows:
Frank De Haven. Castle Creek Canyon, South Dakota.
Edwin WiUard Deming. The Mourning Brave.
Robert David Gauley. The Fur Muff.
Charles Paul Gruppe. The Meadow Brook.
Walter Shirlaw. Water Lilies.
Otto Walter Beck. Christ before Pilate, and Suffer the Little Chil-
dren to Come unto Me, both in pastel.
The other 4 paintings were comprised in 2 donations and 2 be-
quests, the former consisting of TwiUght after Rain, by Norwood
Hodge MacGUvary, presented by Mr. Frederic Fairchild Sherman, of
New York, in memory of his wife, Eloise Lee Sherman; and The
Wreck, by Harrington Fitzgerald, of Philadelphia, contributed by the
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 89
artist. The first of the bequests, from the late Mrs. Elizabeth C.
Hobson, of Washington, was a painting executed by Hamdy Bey
in Constantinople in 1884 expressly for Mrs. Hobson, and entitled
Tomb of "Mahomet the Gentleman" at Broussa; the other was a por-
trait of Col. Albert G. Brackett, U. S. Army, by G. P. A. Healy, de-
vised to the Gallery by Mrs. Brackett, also formerly a resident of
Washington.
The Lewis collection of Washington relics, purchased by the Gov-
ernment in 1878, contained an oil paintmg of General Washington by
an undetermined artist, which was retained at the Department of the
Interior when the Lewis collection was transferred to the National
Museum in 1883. This portrait, more recently turned over to the
Smithsonian Institution, was placed in the Gallery during last year,
as was also a marble allegorical statue entitled II Penseroso, the work
of Joseph Mozier (1812-1870), which had previously been exhibited
in the older budding.
Air. Charles L. Freer announces important additions from the Far
East to the rich collection of American and oriental art of which the
people of the Nation were made the beneficiaries several years ago.
Under the terms of the gift, this great and generous donation still
remains in the custody of Mr. Freer, in Detroit, for further study and
perfection, and to enable him to work out appropriate methods for
installing its varied treasures as a basis for planning the building in
which it will finally be housed in Washington.
The loans received by the Gallery, consisting mainly of oil paintings,
were as follows: From Mrs. Abercrombie-MUler : Alpine Landscape,
by HiUner, and Sheep, by Eugene Verboeckhoven. From Dr. Thomas
M. Chatard: Portrait of Henrietta Maria, by Janssens, Portrait of
Mrs. Kous, by Sir Peter Lely, and Portrait of Mrs. Nicholas Bosley of
Hayfields, Md., by Thomas Sully. From Eev. F. Ward Denys:
Madonna and Child, by Perugino, and Saint Michael, by Guido Reni.
From Hon. George Peabody Wetmore: Military Review, a water
color, by Edouard Detaille, and Versailles, by Constant Wauters.
From Mrs. Frances E. Musgrave: Death Preferred, by J. Van Lerius.

himself. From I^Ir. J. Carroll Beckwith: The Emperor, by Mr. Beck-
with. From Mr. and Airs. Charles Francis Adams: Two portraits of
Mr. Adams, by Robert Vonnoh, one full length, the other a bust.

90 REPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
The screen inclosure in the north wing of the new building, con-
structed for the paintings of the Gallery and furnishing about 950 run-
ning feet of interior wall surface, has been fully occupied at all times,
and to some extent the outer surfaces at the ends of the inclosure
have also been utiUzed. All permanent acquisitions have, as usual,
been photograplied and glazed as received, only 4 of the paintings in
the collection, which are of too large a size to permit of this means of
protection, being without glass at this time.
The vacancy in the Smithsonian Advisory Committee on the Na-
tional Gallery of Art, caused by the death of Francis Davis Millet,
its chairman, one of the victims of the Titanic disaster in the spring of
1912, was fiUed by the appointment of Mr. C. Y. Turner, director of the
Maryland Institute Schools of Art and Design in Baltimore. There
have been no other changes in the personnel of this committee since
its organization in 1908, and its membership is as follows: Mi*. C. Y.
Turner, Chairman, Mr. Frederick Crownmshield, Mr. Edwin H.
Blashfield, IVIi-. Herbert Adams, and Mr. William H. Holmes, Secre-
tary. The Gallery was represented at the annual convention of the
American Federation of Arts, held in Washmgton on May 15 and 16,
1913, by its curator, Mi\ Holmes.
Below is given a list of the paintings and sculpture which were on
exhibition in connection with the Gallery at the close of last year,
Jmie 30, 1913. It includes both the permanent possessions of the
Gallery and the loans, but none of the many works of art assigned to
various other branches of the Museum, such as graphic arts, history,
archeology, ethnology, textiles and ceramics.

ART TEXTILES.
Although the material which has been assembled in illustration of
lace making and other textile handicraft still consists mainly of loans,
through the continued interest of the ladies who have cooperated in
making the exhibition successful, the coDection has been allowed to
remain practically mtact, with interesting additions from year to
year. As the miportance of the collection becomes more fully
recognized it is hoped that its permanence may be insured through the
medium of gifts on a larger scale than heretofore. The lace exhibit
now embraces a fau'ly connected series in respect both to the develop-
ment of the industry and the varieties of laces, and also contains
some important examples which from their quality and rarity form
striking museum pieces. In fact, though smaller and less conspicuous
in the matter of display material, the collection ranks high among the
museum collections of the country. The work of the year, under the
direction as heretofore of Mrs. James W. Pinchot, has related mainly
to the improvement of the systematic installation and to the more
complete labeling of both cases and specimens. The hall occupied
by the collection continues to be one of the most attractive in the
Museum.
The lace accessions of the year included a valuable piece of point
d'Angleterre, presented by Mrs. William Phelps Eno, and the follow-
ing loans, namely: From Mrs. John Jay "White, 13 pieces of point
d'Alenpon, composmg a wide flomice and 2 waists; from ^Irs. James
Maginn, of New York, 2 French caps, a Flemish collar, a pair of silk
lace mitts, a handkerchief and centerpiece of Venezuelan lace, and a
black Chantilly lace parasol; and from the Misses Long, an unidenti-
fied lace of the eighteenth century. An interesting oil painting, after
the Dutch artist Terburg, illustratmg the handicraft of the seven-
teenth century and entitled "The Lace Maker," presented by Miss
Julia H. Chadwick, has been installed m connection with this col-
lection.
Of embroideries and fabrics other than laces the following were
received as loans: From Miss Mary H. Williams, a Spanish red velvet
104 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
cope of the sixteenth century, 3 pieces of brocade of the seventeenth
century, a piece of red silk and 2 pieces of red velvet; from Miss
Emily Tuckerman, 2 pieces of Louis XIV and 1 of Louis XVI
embroidery; from the Kev. F. Ward Denys, a large Persian rug said
to have been worked after a design by Raphael; and from Mrs.
James Maginn, a small bag ornamented with beads and 4 embroidered
handkerchiefs from Cuba, besides several samples for crocheting
fringe. Mrs. Maginn also deposited 18 Spanish fans of the eighteenth
century and 1 of the period of Louis XVI; and Mrs. James Tait
Beck, of Camden, Ala., 2 late '' Empire" fans.
Among miscellaneous articles placed on exhibition in connection
with the textiles were a papillon ring and a figurine of an Egyptian
god mounted in antique gold as a necklace, from Mrs. John Jay
White; a bracelet of blue enamel and niello work on a woven gold
band, from Miss Jennie M, Griswold; a gold bracelet which belonged
to Mrs. Isaac Chauncy Long, from the Misses Long; and a mirror,
called a "trumeau," the upper part of which frames an oil painting,
from Miss Emily Tuckerman. Also placed with the textiles is a
series of 57 photographs of designs of suits of armor made by Hans
Holbem for the great tournament of Henry VIII, which were received
as a gift from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
MISCELLANEOUS.
VISITORS.
The exhibition halls of the Museum are open to the public on every
week day throughout the year, including holidays, and those in the
new building on Sundays also. The hours are from 9 a. m. to 4.30
p. m. on week days, and from 1.30 to 4.30 p. m. on Sundays.
The total number of visitors admitted to the new building during
last year was 319,806, an increase over the previous year of 37,919.
Of this number, 261,636 represented the week-day attendance, and
58,170 the Sunday attendance, making the daily average for the
former 836, and for the latter 1,118. At the older Museum building
the total attendance was 173,858, and the daily average 555, the
corresponding figures for the Smithsonian building having been
142,420 and 455, respectively. The Sunday average for the new
building varied considerably at different periods, having been largest
during the spring, and amounting to 3,343 for the month of May. The
maximum Sunday attendance was 5,134, on May 4.
The week-day attendance at all of the buildings was very much
greater in March than in any other month, as is always the case in
years of presidential inauguration, the Museum being one of the
principal attractions for the large crowds which gather in Wash-
ington for that occasion. During inaugural week alone, or from
. . .
EEPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 105
March 3 to 8, inclusive, the number of visitors to the new building
aggregated 31,951, a daily average of 5,325, the largest attendance
on any single day having been 13,236 on March 5. The figures for
each of the other buildings were about one-half as much.
The following tables show, respectively, the number of visitors
during each month of the past year, and for each year begimiing with
1881, when the older Museum building was first opened to the pubhc:

States National Museum, 1911," by Gerrit S. Miller, jr., and "A
SjTiopsis of the Rotatoria," by Hany K. Harrmg. Of the separate
papers 96 belonged to the series of Proceedings, composing all of
volumes 43 and 44 and parts of volumes 42 and 45, and 9 belonged to
volumes 16 and 17 of the Contributions from the National Herbarium.
They are listed in the bibUography at the end of this report. The
regular distribution of the above pubhcations aggi'egated about
57,300 copies, while of these and former publications some 14,300
copies were supphed in compliance with special requests.
Many reports on material belonging to the National Museum or to
be added to its collections are prmted elsewhere than in the Museum
series. They consist in part of papers, often monographic, issued by
the scientific bureaus of the Government and other scientific estab-
lishments, and in part of generally brief accounts of discoveries
which it is important should be published more promptly than is
possible through Government channels. Several of the scientific
societies offer opportunities for such urgent pubhcation, as does also
the Smithsonian Institution. Mainly, but not entirely, 'belonging to
this class are the following papers printed in the Smithsonian Mis-
cellaneous Collections during 1913: "New mammals from eastern
Panama" and "Descriptions of new mammals from Panama and
Mexico," by E. A. Goldman; "New rodents from British East
Africa," "New genera and races of African ungulates" and "New
races of insectivores, bats and lemurs from British East Africa," by
Edmund Heller; "New mammals from the highlands of Siberia,"

In accordance with a provision of the Legislative, Executive, and
Judicial Act approved August 23, 1912, the work of wrapping, label-
ing, and despatching aU Museum publications, previously performed
by the Museum, was, on October 1, transferred to the direction of the
PubHc Printer, and has since been conducted by the Superintendent
of Documents, This change, however, has not affected the responsi-
bility and discretion of the Museum in regard to the mailing Hsts,
which, together with aU special orders, are transmitted to the Super-
intendent of Documents through its office of correspondence. In
addition to the pubhcations, the editorial ofiice also has charge of all
miscellaneous printing and binding, the former including a consider-
able variety of work, in connection with which the labels for the
collections figure most conspicuously.
LIBRARY.
The Museum library is wholly technical in character and restricted
to the class of works needed for the study and classification of the
collections, but owing to the great diversity of the latter it is required
to cover a wide range of subjects in the sciences and the arts and
industries. Originating in the gift by Prof. Spencer F. Baird, the
second Secretary of the Institution, of his scientific Hbrary, it has
attained considerable size and importance though never approached
the standard of completeness that would make it even fairly effective;
and, despite the opportunity of drawing upon several other large
Government libraries and that of the Smithsonian Institution, the
work of the Museum has often been seriously inconvenienced and
delayed by the lack of books which are not to be found in Washington.
The annual purchase fund has been inadequate to satisfy more than a
very limited part of the demands. The principal resom^ce in this
108 REPORT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
regard has consisted of the Museum's own publications, constituting
an important asset for exchange, through which have been secured
the publications of most of the scientific institutions of the world, and
also those of many individuals. The hbrary has likewise been fortu-
nate in receiving a large number of donations, and while some of these
have come from friends not connected with the Museum, the most
constant contributors have been members of its staff. Notwithstand-
ing these several sources of acquisition, however, there are many very
necessary books published privately from year to year which, under
present conditions, must continue to be classed as important desid-
erata.
Maintained solely for promoting the work of the Museum, the
Hbrary is administered with special reference to the convenience of
the staff, and besides the central rooms in which are kept all general
works and those treating of two or more subjects, each division and
each principal office is allowed to have in its immediate possession
such of the pubhcations relating wholly to its province as may be
desired. These several branch collections, of which there are 33 at
present, are known as sectional libraries. They are imder the super-
vision of the main library, from which the books assigned to them are
withdrawn as by any borrower and with the same responsibilities.
With the moving of the collections of anthropology, zoology, and
geology, it was important that the books relating to the same subjects
be also transferred to the new building. This has now been done,
leaving the pubhcations on the arts and industries and history in the
older building, and likewise the botanical library, which is there most
conveniently located for the division of plants. In view, moreover,
of the more ample accommodations afforded by the new building and
the fact that the larger proportion of the pubhcations were included
in the transfer, it has seemed best that the library there estabhshed
should be the central one for the receipt, recording, cataloguing and
distribution of all books and for all other preparatory work, and this
plan has been carried out.
The equipment of the library space in the new building having been
completed early in the autumn of 1912, the moving was begun about
the middle of October, and, including the placing of the books on the
shelves, was finished in the course of a month. Wliile much still re-
mained to be done in the matter of verifying and perfecting the
arrangement, at no time was there any serious interruption in the use
of the hbrary or in the continuity of its relations to the sectional
branches. The rearrangement and cataloguing of the pubhcations
left in the older building were also taken up and well advanced by the
close of the year.
The library received 1,690 books, 2,213 pamphlets and 159 parts of
volumes during last year, and contains at present 43,692 volumes and
:
BEPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 109
72,042 unbound papers. There were borrowed from other Govern-
ment Hbraries for the use of the staff a total of 4,154 titles, which
came mainly from the Library of Congress, and to a lesser extent
from the Department of Agriculture, the Army Medical Museum, and
the Geological Survey.
The records of the library, all of which are kept in card form, com-
prise an accession catalogue, an authors' catalogue, a periodical cata-
logue, and a lending record. Seven hundred and eighty-two books,
892 complete volumes of periodicals, and 2,229 pamphlets were cata-
logued during the year, and the Zurich catalogue was brought up to
date in the matter of classification and arrangement of the cards.
The number of volumes bound for the library was 881.
The new quarters and their equipment may be briefly described as
follows
The space assigned to the Ubrary in the new building, located in the
ground story of the northern section of the east range, consists of what
was originally a single room, with northern exposure, 107 feet 7 inches
long by 21 feet 1 inch wide, and a smaller room, facing on the east
court, measuring 39 feet by 21 feet 4 inches. The former has been
divided into three compartments for the book stacks, catalogue cases,
and reading accommodations, while the latter is used for office pur-
poses and preparatory work. All of the space is well lighted and
ventilated, the equipment is modern and fireproof, and the facilities
excellent in all respects.
The three northern compartments are separated by fireproof walls
of macite, with large communicating openings. Beginning at the
east, and with a uniform dimension of 21 feet 1 inch between the outer
and the corridor wall, is the stack room, 52 feet 3 inches long, followed
by a small reading room, 18 feet 1 inch long, and a general reading
room, also containing the catalogue files, 36 feet 4 inches long. All of
this area is utilized to the full height of the story, tliis being accom-
plished by the introduction of a mezzanine floor in the stack room and
of galleries in the reading rooms, which are at a uniform height of 7 feet
11 inches above the ground floor. The furnishings throughout, in-
cluding slotted shelf uprights with adjustable shelves, card cases,
mezzanine floor and galleries, stairs and lift, are of the Art Metal
Construction Co.'s standard construction, and the entire work is sup-
ported on the ground floor, being braced laterally by comparatively
few connections with the walls. The material of the stacks, cases and
drawers is mild cold rolled steel.
In the stack room the general arrangement of the cases is the same
both below and above the mezzanine floor. Single-faced stacks
occupy practically all the wall surfaces, while the body of the room is
traversed north and south by double-faced stacks, with interspaces
of about 3 feet. Five of these stacks are of full height, wliich is 7 feet
110 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913
4 inches on the ground floor and 7 feet 6 inches on the mezzanine floor,
wliile 4 alternating ones have been carried only to a height of 3 feet
6 inches, in order that their tops may serve the purpose of tables in
arranging and consulting books. On the ground floor the main
passageway, 4 feet 8 inches wide, is on the window side of the room,
the main stacks extending thence to join those along the south wall,
but the lower staclcs are much shorter. Above the mezzanine the
general passageway, reduced to 2 feet 9 inches in width, is on the other
or south side of the room, the main stacks extending against the piers
between the windows and the rails in front of them.
The stacks have a 3-inch base and 4-inch cornice. The uprights,
spaced for shelves 2 feet 11 inches long, are slotted at 1-inch intervals.
Besides the fixed sheK at the base, the full height stacks are estimated
to carry 6 adjustable shelves, and the lower ones proportionally fewer.
On this basis, the shelf capacity of the room amounts to about 3,500
lineal feet. The shelves are 12 inches wide, of No. 16 gauge steel,
stiffened at front and back by smoothly turned f-inch rolls shaped to
receive book supports. The exposed ends of all stacks have label
holders, 7f by 4 inches, finished in statuary bronze. The surfaces are
japanned and of a dark green color. The entire construction is of
the best material adapted to the purpose and the workmanship has
been thorough.
In one of the alcoves is a flight of stairs and nearby it is a lift for
carrying books to the upper story. The latter is operated by hand,
is self-retammg and has a lifting capacity of 75 to 100 pomids. Meas-
uring 17^ inches square inside and 26 inches high, it is constructed of
brass wire mesh on the sides and back, with wood floor and wood
frame top. The shaft is enclosed with iron wire mesh. The mezza-
nme floor consists of steel framing covered with wired hammered
glass, having the smooth side up and sand blasted to give good footing
and reduce the transparency. The glass rests on angle iron which
projects above it at the sides to the extent of f inch to form a curb,
between which and all stacks there is an opening 2 inches wide for
the circulation of air. All other and larger openings, as at the windows
and the galleries in the other rooms, are protected by pipe railing.
The smaller reading room, which adjoms the stack room and is
designed for special study purposes, is mostly Imed, both above and
below the gallery, with single wall stacks of the pattern before de-
scribed. The gallery, of the same construction as the mezzanine
floor, is 2 feet wide beyond the cases and is reached by iron stairs.
In one corner on the lower floor is a steel manuscript case, 6 feet
wide, 3 feet deep and 7 feet 6 mches high, divided vertically into two
compartments, each with solid steel double doors secured by means
of rod locks. The other furniture of this room includes a large table.
REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1013. Ill
The main reading and consulting room has also a gallery contmuous
with that in the smaller room and of the same width and floor con-
struction, which extends along the three walls other than that occu-
pied by the windows. The space above it is filled with wall book-
stacks of the standard pattern and size. Below the gallery the stacks
are the same on the east side, but on the south and west sides they
are deepened to 16f inches and modified to accommodate the cata-
logue cases. Beginning at the top of a shelf space, 1 foot 9^ inches
above the floor, are the series of compartments for the cards, followed
above by another open shelf space, 2 feet 4^ inches high to the under
side of the gallery. The catalogue cases are, with one exception, of
a size to receive 7 drawers in height and 5 in width adapted to the
standard 5 by 3-inch cards. There are 8 of these cases on the south
wall and 6 on the west wall, with an additional case of the same height
but only 4 drawers wide. Their aggregate capacity is 518 drawers,
all of which can be conveniently reached from the floor. The drawers
operate on cushioned slides, and securing rods are used. They hold
about 1,000 cards each. Extendmg along the bottom line of these
cases is a continuous projecting metal shelf or rest 9 inches wide.
Each of the two windows in the room will have, attached to the
frame and sill, two oak shelves, divided into low compartments, for
laying out the periodicals as received pending their assignment.
The room also contains two large reading tables, measuring 6 by 8
feet. The entire library space above described is provided with a
very complete and convenient arrangement of electric lighting.
The office or preparatory room, which is separated from the library
proper only by a corridor, contains no gallery, but is fitted up with
standard cases, 7 feet 6 inches high, which occupy most of the wall
space and form two stacks extending partway across the room,
dividing it into three sections or alcoves. The other furnishings
consist of plain office furniture and such accessories as are needed for
the preparation, cataloguing, etc., of the books before they are placed
on the library shelves. The aggregate length of the shelving in all
four rooms is approximately 5,663 feet.
The library space in the older Museum building is being used with-
out material change, though one of the rooms, containing 610 square
feet, has been assigned to the sectional library of admmistration. It
consists of the groimd floor and two galleries of a large room adjoining
the northwest pavUion, and an enclosed gallery extendmg along two
sides of the west north range, with a total floor area of 2,814 square
feet. The furnishings, which are partly of wood and partly of metal,
are of old and simple patterns, but the quarters as a whole are suitable
and convenient for their present purpose.

MEETINGS AND CONGRESSES.
The accommodations afforded by the new building were extensively
utihzed during the year for meetings, congresses and other important
functions. The Anthropological Society of Washington held its regu-
lar meetings, of which there were 14 during the season, in the larger
committee room, while the auditorium was used by the Washington
Societ37^ of the Fine Arts for two courses of 6 lectures each and one
course of 5 lectm'es, the latter devoted to the great masters of music
by the Spanish-American Atheneum, which is organized to encourage
the study of the hterature and history of Spain and Spanish America,
for 5 meetings ; and by the Naval War College Extension for a series
of weekly lectures for the benefit of ojfficers of the Navy and Army,
which extended from the middle of January to the middle of April.
Of three notable congresses which assembled in this country during
September, 1912, two held brief sessions in Washington, while the
third met only here. The former were the Eighth International
Congress of AppHed Chemistry and the Sixth International Congress
for Testing Materials, to the members of each of which a reception
was given, by invitation of the Eegents and Secretary of the Insti-
tution, in the exhibition haUs of the new building on the evenings of
September 4 and 9, respectively. The Fifteenth International Con-
gress on Hygiene and Demography met from September 23 to 27,
inclusive, and of its 9 sections 4 were accommodated in the Museum
building, namely: Dietetic hygiene and hygienic physiology; Hygiene
of occupations; Mihtary, naval and tropical (colonial) hygiene; and
Demography. Two joint sessions and 3 of the 4 plenary sessions
were also held in the same building, the latter in the auditorium on
the evenings of September 23, 24 and 25, at which the speakers were,
successively. Sir Thomas Ohver, of Newcastle, England; Dr. Jacques
Bertillon, of Paris, France; and Ministeriahat Dr. Zahn, of Munich,
Bavaria. On the evening of the 26th a reception to the delegates and
members was given in the exhibition halls, in the name of the citizens
of the District of Columbia, by the District committee for the congress.
Other important meetings were as follows: By the American Phil-
ological Association, the Archaeological Institute of America and the
Society of Bibhcal Literature and Exegesis, in joint session from De-
cember 27 to 30, 1912; by the American Farm-Management Associ-
ation, on January 21 and 22, 1913; by the National Academy of
Sciences, which held its annual meeting on April 15, followed by a
celebration of its semi-centennial anniversary, continuing 3 days
from April 22, with a reception in the exhibition halls on the first
evening; by the General Federation of Women's Clubs, on April 21
and 22; by the International Kindergarten Union, which held its
twentieth annual convention, accompanied by an exhibition of kinder-
BEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 113
garten work by the local schools, from April 29 to May 2 ; and by the
American Surgical Association which, as one of the constituent soci-
eties of the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons holding
its ninth triennial session in Washington, had its meetings in the
Museum building from May 6 to 8. The Department of Agriculture
had the use of the auditorium for two conferences, one for the field
men of the Office of Farm Management, from January 6 to 21; the
other for the employees of the Bureau of Animal Industry in charge
of the federal meat inspection service throughout the country, from
June 2 to 4. A reception in honor of the Daughters of the American
Revolution was held, by invitation of the Regents and Secretary, on
the evening of April 12; and another, in honor of Mr. James Wilson,
who had just retired as Secretary of Agriculture, was given by the
employees of the Department of Agriculture on the evening of
March 6.
Reference may also be made here to the ceremonies attending the
unveihng of the tablet in honor of Samuel Pierpont Langley, late
Secretary of the Institution, installed in the vestibule of the Smith-
sonian building, which took place on May 6 or "Langley Day."
The exercises were held in the adjoining main hall, in which had been
assembled the three successful experimental models of the Langley
aerodrome and the engine built for the large machine.
The Museum, in conjunction with the Institution, participated in
two important congresses abroad. One was the Fourteenth Inter-
national Congress of Prehistoric Anthropology and Archeology, held
at Geneva, Switzerland, from September 9 to 15, 1912, at which Dr.
Ales Hrdhcka, a curator of the Museum, was a delegate. The other
was the Ninth International Zoological Congress, which met at
Monaco from March 25 to 30, 1913, and at which the Museum rep-
resentatives were Dr. Leonhard Stejneger, head curator of biology.
Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles, of the Bureau of the PubHc Health, and
Dr. Herbert H. Field, director of the Concilium Bibliographicum,
at Zurich, Switzerland.
SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS.
The models and pictures illustrating the competitive designs for
the Lincohi Memorial in Washington, by Mr. Henry Bacon and Mr.
John Russell Pope, referred to in the last report, remained on exhi-
bition throughout the year; and dm^ing most of the year the Museum
was allowed to display two of the interesting models belonging to the

114 EEPORT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
A coUection of 100 Japanese paintings of the Ukiyo-ye school,
belonging to Mr. Yojiro Kuwabara, which had been shown at the
Japan-British Exhibition in London in 1910 and subsequently in
other Eui-opean cities, were placed on view from September 21 to
November 4, 1912, and attracted much attention. A number of
articles belonging to the Red Cross Society, mainly illustrative of
the methods and work of foreign branches, and intended to form
part of an exhibition by the Society when it shall have obtained a
suitable home in Washington, were turned over temporarily to the
custody of the Museum, and opened up to the public on December 14.
The models of the Panama Canal were installed in the foyer on the
ground floor of the new building, and the other exhibits in three of
the rooms which open into it.
ORGANIZATION AND STAFF.
The active organization of the division of mineral technology was
taken up on June 6, 1913, by the appointment as curator on that
date of Mr. Chester G. Gilbert, who had for some time previously
been the assistant curator of systematic and applied geology. Fol-
lowing the transfer of the collection of grasses from the Department
of Agriculture, Prof. Albert S. Hitchcock, systematic agrostologist
in that Department, was made honorary custodian of grasses in the
Museum on October 10, 1912, and was provided with laboratory
accommodations in the division of plants in order to faciUtate his
work and his supervision of the entire grass collection. A section of
diatoms in the division of plants was fii'st definitely recognized dur-
ing the year and was placed in charge of Dr. Albert Mann, of the
Bm'eau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture, who was des-
ignated honorary custodian on January 8, 1913. The Museum col-
lection of these microscopic forms, to which Dr. Mann has given
much attention, has recently, through his active interest, been raised
to a standard of completeness not elsewhere excelled in this coxmtry.
Two members of the staff, Mr. L. D. Burling, assistant curator of
paleontology, and Dr. J. E. Pogue, assistant curator of mineralogy
and petrology, resigned during the year, the former on March 4 to
enter the service of the Geological Sm"vey of Canada, the latter on
May 17, 1913, to join the U. S. Geological Sm-vey. Mr. R. P. Tolman
was appointed aid in the division of grapliic arts on May 21, 1913,
after a temporary service beginning on August 23, 1912, to fill the
position left vacant by the resignation of Mr. E. W. Huckel on
July 31, 1912.
Two naturalists, not connected with the Government service,
were designated as honorary collaborators for one jenr each, namely,
Mr. Samuel Mixter, of Boston, Mass., from April 1, and Prof. Albert
M. Reese, of the University of West Virginia, from May 1, 1913.
EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 115
Both were to engage in field work, contributing their collections to
the Museum, the former intending to visit Alaska and if possible the
neighboring coast of Siberia, the latter the Phihppine Islands.
The Museum lost three members of its staff by death, Dr. Lester F.
Ward, honorary associate in paleobotany^, Dr. L. T. Chamberlain,
honorary associate in mineralogy, and Mr. Joseph Palmer, modeler.
Dr. Lester Frank Ward was born in Johet, 111., June 18, 1841, and
died in Washington, D. C, April 18, 1913. His coUegiate education
was received at Columbian, now George Washington, University. In
1881 he became an assistant geologist, and in 1888 a geologist, on the
United States Geological Survey. In 1905 he left Washington to join
the faculty of Brown University, Providence, R. I., of which he con-
tmued a member until the time of his decease. His connection with
the Museum dated from 1882, in which year he was appointed honor-
ary curator in charge of the collection of fossil plants, his designation
being changed in 1893 to associate curator. His removal from Wash-
ington and the discontinuance of active relations with the Museum led
in 1905 to his receiving the honorary title of associate, in recognition
of his long and important services in building up his department.
Taking up the study of fossil plants at a time when paleobotany as
a distinct science was hardly recognized, and when almost the only
workers of national reputation in the subject were Newberry and
Lesquereux, he rapidly attained distinction as a careful investigator,
deep thinker, and patient, conscientious worker, and after the death
of these pioneers he became the acknowledged leader in paleobotany
m America. Besides his official reports to the Geological Survey and
several papers issued by the Museum, Dr. Ward was the author of
many notable contributions in that branch of scientific research, in
which the philosophical trend of his mentality is full}^ indicated, as
well as in his better-known works on ethics and sociology. The item
of work, however, which will cause him to be best remembered by
those who were privileged to be associated with him at the Museum
is the index and bibUography of fossil plants, which he conceived and
to which he contributed so much time and conscientious labor. This
and the hbrary which he accumulated in connection vnih it form
together the one great repository of paleobotanical information in
America.
Dr. Leander Trowbridge Chamberlain, born at West Brookfield,
Mass., September 26, 1837, and deceased May 9, 1913, received his
collegiate education at Yale University, from which he was graduated
in 1863. After four years in the naval service of the United States,
Mr. Chamberlain entered the theological seminary at Andover, and,
finishing the course in 1869, he was ordained in the Congregational
ministry the same year. Besides serving continuously as a pastor
until 1890, Dr. Chamberlain was actively connected with church.
116 REPOET OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913.
philanthropic, and social work in many capacities. He was also a
founder of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, and a patron
of, and the curator of Eocene mollusca in, the Academy of Natural
Sciences of Philadelphia.
Dr. Chamberlain's relations with the National Museum arose
through his marriage in 1890 with Miss Frances Lea, daughter of Dr.
Isaac Lea, the eminent naturahst of Philadelphia, and one of the
Museum's most generous benefactors through two distinct contribu-
tions following his death on December 8, 1886. One of these was
the large and unrivalled collection of Unionidse, or fresh-water mus-
sels, which had not only been assembled by Dr. Lea at great expendi-
ture of time and mone}^, but had also been the subject of profound
research by him, resulting in elaborate and standard publications.
The other was a collection of gems and precious stones, sufficiently
rich and varied to serve as a worthy foundation for an appropriate
representation of this popular branch of mineralogy. During the
short period of her married life, only 4 years, Mrs. Chamberlain, who
had always taken a keen interest in the labors of her father, remained
the patron of these collections, assisting in their increase and in the
increase of the Hbrary relating to them. After her death, these duties
were assumed by Dr. Chamberlain as of the nature of a sacred trust,
which he faithfully and generously carried out during the many years
that followed. His aid was not promiscuous, but was specifically
directed toward the supplying of deficiencies and the strengthening
of the collections where it was most needed, and it is especially inter-
estmg to note that through his contributions the Isaac Lea collection
of Unionidse has been kept much the foremost of this extensive group
in the world.
In 1897 Dr. Chamberlain became honorary custodian of the collec-
tion of gems and precious stones in the Museum, and in 1905 he was
designated honorary associate in mineralogy. Though long resident
in New York City, his death occurred in Pasadena, Cal., and it was
not until after the close of the fiscal year that information was re-
ceived of the bequest in his wiU of a considerable sum of money, the
interest of which is to be used for the increase and improvement of the
two Isaac Lea collections.
Mr. Joseph Palmer, who was born in Barrow, Suffolk, England, in
1836, died in Washington on April 19, 1913. While a young man
he worked for some years at the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, where
he assisted Prof. B. Waterhouse Hawkins in connection with his
celebrated restorations of extinct animals. In 1868 he came to
this country with Prof. Hawkins, who had been commissioned to
make similar reproductions for Central Park, New York, but this
work being soon abandoned, Mr. Palmer found employment at the
Park as taxidermist and general assistant at the Museum, and for

a time was in charge of the zoological garden. In 1873 began his
connection wdth the National Museum, in which for a considerable
period he was the only skilled preparator on the staff. His versa-
tility and thorough knowledge of methods made him equally pro-
ficient in modeUng, casting, taxidermy, and osteology, and the col-
oring of reproductions, and he was especially skillful in the building
of animal and Indian lay-figure groups. In consequence, his serv-
ices were largely availed of in the preparation and installation of
exhibits for the international expositions in which the Museum
participated, beginning with the Centennial Exlaibition of 1876.
Dining his later years his work was with the department of anthro-
pology.
