NAT MUS 95 1 Pt E P O R T UPON THE CONDITION AND PROGRESS OF THE U. "S. NATIONAL MUSEUM DURING THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1895. BY G. Brown Goode, Assiistant Secretary, Smithsonian Institution, in ckar) Tlie collections have been increased nearly seventeen ibid during the last fourteen years, (4) A considerable beginning has been made toward the development of a Avell-labeled and effectually installed exhibition series, available for the instruction of the public. (5) A thorough study of the organization and systems of classifica- tion in other museums throughout the world has been made, the results of which are beginning to appear in the work of the Museum staff and which will be made available for other institutions from time to time through the publications of the Museum, (()) Many new methods of installation have been developed by experi- ment in the Museum, and the best and most available employed else- where have been adopted. Our new methods are being applied in many similar establishments at home and abroad. (7) The art of taxidermy and the making of museum models has been advanced and dignified by the policy adopted in the treatment of the experts in the employ of the Museum. (8) Science has been forwarded by the publication of some thousands of papers describing the materials in the Museum, while the work of specialists in the i)rotluction of these papers has greatly enhanced the value of the national collections. (9) Popular educational work of unquestioned value has been accom- plished by participation in the great expositions in Philadelphia, Berlin, London, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Louisville, Madrid, and Chicago. (10) Hundreds of thousands of named specimens have been distrib- uted to other museums and to colleges and schools. EXPECTATIONS OF FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. That the United States must have a National Museum worthy of the dignity of the nation is self-evident. Every country has a museum or group of museums in its capital city—centers of scientific and educational activity—the treasure-house of the i)eople, filled with memorials of national triumphs in the fields of science, art, and industrial progress.' These are legitimate objects of national pride, for upon the character of its museum and libraries intelligent persons, visiting a country, very ' Most of tlie older nations have museums devoted to their military achievements and triiunphs, but our country has no need or desire to enter into this Held of Avork. REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. -9 properly base their judgment as to the nature and degree of the civili- zation of the i)eox)le. Washington may without question be made the seat of one of the greatest museums in the world. It may perhaps be neither practicable nor desirable to gather together in this city extensive collections of ancient medncval art, but a representative series of such objects will undoubtedly grow up which will tend to educate the public taste, promote the study of the elements of art and the history of civiliza- tion, and forward the arts of design. This having been accomplished, attention should be directed mainly toward the exhibition of the geol- ogy and natural history of America and its natural resources, to the preservation of memorials of its aboriginal inhabitants, and the encour- agement of the arts and industries of our own people. It is evident that the National Museum of the United States will of necessity have features i)eculiar to itself, developed in response to the peculiar needs of the people of this continent. It shoidd be remem- bered that the national collections of every principal European nation are divided into several groups, each under separate administration, though often within the general control of some central authority. In France, for instance, most of the nuiseums are under the Ministry of Public Instruction, and in England, to a less extent, under the Depart- ment of Science and Art. In the great capitals of Europe the public collections are scattered through various parts of the same city, in museums with distinctive names and indei)endent in their organizations. Much of the work which should properly be done by such museums is omitted, because no one of them has seen fit to undertake it; while, on the other hand, much labor is duplicated, which is perhaps equally unfortunate—col- lections of similar scope and purpose being maintained in different parts of the same city. One of the chief objections to such division of effort is that much of the value of large collections in any depart- ment is lost by failure to concentrate them where they may be studied and compared side by side. In Washington, the national collections are all, without exception, concentrated in one group of buildings. The Army Medical Museum now occupies a building side by side with those under the control of the Smithsonian Institution, and this prox- imity, in connection with the long established policy of cooperation between the two organizations, renders them, for all i^ractical purposes, united in interest. Although the appropriations from the public treasury for the main- tenance of the National Museum are small, compared with those in several European countries, the value of objects given by private indi- viduals is proportionately large. The actual value of such contribu- tions for ten years past has not, it is estimated, fallen short of $20,000 a year, and in some years it has been greater. 10 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. Amoug importaut gifts may be meutioned the George Catlin Indian gallery, of inestimable value to the American liistorian and ethnologist; the collection of North American insects, given by Prof. C. V. Riley; the collection bequeathed in 1887 by the late Dr. Isaac Lea, of Phila- delphia, containing, besides minerals and other objects, about 20,000 conchological specimens, and appraised by the State at $10,000; the collections of mollusks, gems, and precious stones presented by the Rev. L. T. Chamberlain and Mrs. Frances Lea Chamberlain; the large and valuable collections of African mammals, birds, etc., made and presented by Dr. W. L. Abbott and Mr. William Astor Chanler; the Bendire and Ralph collections of American birds' eggs, given to the Smithsonian Institution ; the Lacoe collection of fossil plants, and the collection of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, for the transfer of which from Philadelphia to Washington a special appropriation was made by Congress. Some exceedingly valuable collections in this country and in Europe have been bequeathed to the Smithsonian Institution, which have not yet come into its possession. It is estimated that within the past fifteen years individuals to the number of more than 2,000 have made gifts to the Museum to the value of $100 each or more. The National Museum now contains nearly three and a half millions of objects. The intrinsic value of such collections as these can not well be ex- pressed in figures. There are single specimens worth hundreds, others worth thousands of dollars, and still others which are unique and jirice- less. Many series of specimens, which owe their value to their com- pleteness and to the labor Avhich has been expended on them, can not be replaced at any price. The collections at a forced sale would realize more than has been expended on them, and a fair appraisal of their value would amount to several millions of dollars. One of the most striking features in the affairs of the Museum is the manuer in which its collections are increasing. In 1895 the number of specimens is almost eighteen times as great as in 1882. In the direct purchase of specimens but little money has been spent, less perhaps in fifty years than either France, England, Germany, or Austria expends in a single year on similar objects. The entire Museum is the outgrowth of Government expeditions and expositions, and of the gifts prompted by the generosity of the American people. As nn'ght be supposed, a considerable proportion of the objects given are duplicates of material already on hand, and although these contri- butions can, with the utmost advantage, be used for distribution to museums and schools, they do not materially increase the a alue of the collections for study ])y specialists and for general educational pur- poses. The need of a larger fund for the purchase of specimens is yearly be- coming more manifest. Exceedingly important material is constantly REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 11 ofteied at prices very unicli below what it would cost to obtain it by collectiiierly taken by the niuseunis and institutions of Europe. The Museum in its present condition may be compared to a book from which pages here and there have be<'n omitted, so that the narra- tive is disjointed and incomplete. The museums of England are rich with the accumulations of centu- ries. The National Museum of the United States is youug, and has enormous deficiencies in every department. In needs, more than any museum in Europe, the opportunity to increase its resources through j)urchase. The total amount expended for the purchase of specimens for the National Museum since 1889 has averaged less than $6,000 a year. For the purchase of specimens for tlie South Kensington Museum, from 1853 to 1887, $1,586,634 was expended, or a yearly average of nearly $47,000. Toward her other museums England is equally liberal. Exact sta- tistics are not at hand, but it is quite within bounds to assert that her average expenditures for the purchase of new objects for museums in London is not less than $500,000 a year. Our museum is the result of the activities of an enlightened Govern- ment. Through a thousand channels materials for the formation of a museum come into the possession of the Government, and out of such materials our museum has been built. A museum formed in this man- ner, however, suffers sooner or later from immense accumulations of objects of certain kinds and from the absence of others. This is true of the National Museum. At the outset no additions were unwelcome, and the expectation that all important deficiencies would be supplied, might i)roperly be indulged in. As the years have passed, however, it has l)ecome more and more apparent that many of these deficiencies can be supplied only by purchase. More striking present results might certainly have been attained by limiting the developments of the Museum to special fields. We have, however, had in view the future as well as the present, aiul no object has been refused a place in the Museum which is likely to be needed, even in the remote future, in the development of whatc^ver grand museum plans the nation may ultimately be willing to promote. ]i._OEGANIZATION AND SCOPE OF THE MUSEUM. The National Museum is under the charge of the Smithsonian Insti- tution, and its operations are supervised by the Board of Eegents of the Institution. The Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution is by law the ^'keeper of the Smithsonian ]\Iuseum,'' and the Assistant Secretary, by the usage of nearly fifty years, its executive head. 12 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. Ill the act of Cougress passed in 184G, to establisli the Smithsonian Institution, are contained tlic following- provisions concerning the scope of the museum to be placed under its charge: 1. The act above referred to provides that "all objects of art and of foreign and curious research, and all objects of natural history, plants, and geological and mineralogical specimens belonging, or hereafter to belong-, to the United States, which may be in the city of Washington,'' shall 1)6 delivered to the liegents of the Smith- sonian Institution, and together -with new specimens obtained by exchange, donation, or otherwise, shall be so arranged and classi- fied as best to facilitate examination and study. 2. It provides that, in proportion as suitable arrangements can be made for their reception, these objects shall be delivered to such persons as may be authorized by the Board of Ivegents to receive them, 3. It provides that they shall be arranged in such order and so classified as best to facilitate their examination and study. 4. It provides that they shall thus be arranged in the building- to be inclosed for tlie Institution. 5. It authorizes the liegents to obtain new specimens, by exchange of duplicate specimens and by gift, and directs also that they shall be ap])ropriately classified and arranged. The National Museum thus became the authorized place of deposit for all objects of art, archiieology, ethnology, natural historj^, miner- alogy, geology, etc., belonging to the United States or collected by any agency whatsoever for the Government of the United States, when no longer needed for investigations in progress. The collections in the Museum are intended to exhibit the natural and industrial resources, primarily of the United States and secondarily of other parts of the world, for purposes of comparison. The activitiesof the Museum are exerted especially in three directions: 1. The permanent preservation of the collections already in its posses- sion, which depends chiefiy upon the vigilance of the curators and the skill of the preparators. 2. The increase of the collections, which are acquired — (1) From the various (lovernment surveys and expeditions, in accordance witli law; (2) By gift from individuals, from other institutions, and from foreign Governments; (3) By exchange for its duplicate specimens or ibr publications; (4) By the eftbrts of ofiticers of the Museum, who make collections in connection with their regular duties, or are detailed for special service of this nature; (5) By purchase, when appropriations are made by Congress for that purpose. 3. The utilization of the collections, which is effected by exhibiting them to the public, and by encouraging investigations on the part oi the officers of the Museum and other suitable persons, and facilitating the publication of the results ; also by the distribution to other museums and educational institutions of duplicate specimens, whi(!h have formed the basis of scientific investigation, these being identified and labeled by the best authorities. REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 13 The collections of the JSTatioiial Museum are made up to a very lar^e extent of the following- materials: 1. The natural history and anthropological collections accumu- lated since 1850 by the efforts of the officers and correspondents of the Smithsonian Institution. 2. Collections which have resulted from explorations carried on more or less directly under the auspices of the Smithsonian Insti- tution, or resulting from explorations carried on by the Smithsonian Institution in connection with educational institutions or commercial establishments. 3. Collections which have been obtained through the courtesy of the Department of State and the cooperation of United States ministers and consuls. 4. The collection of the Wilkes Exploring Expedition, the Perry Expedition to Japan, and other naval expeditions. 5. Collections made by the scientific officers of Government sur- veys, such as the Pacific llailroad Survey, the Mexican Bound- ary Snrvey, and the surveys carried on by the Engineer Corps of the United States Army and by officers of the Signal Corps of the United States Army stationed in remote regions. 6. Collections obtained by the United States Geological Survey, the United States Fish Commission, and those resulting from the activities of the United States Department of Agriculture and other departments of the Government. 7. The remnant of the collections of the old "Is'^ational Institute." 8. The collections made by the United States to illustrate the animal and mineral resources, the fisheries, and the ethnology of the native races of the country on the occasion of the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia in 1876; the fishery collections displayed by the United States at the International Fisheries Exhibition at Berlin in 1880 and at London in 1883, and the collections obtained from various local expositions, as, for instance, the ^exv Orleans Cotton Centennial Exposition in 1884 and 1885, the Cincinnati Exposition in 1887, and the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. 9. The collections given by the Governments of the several foreign nations, thirty in number, which participated in the exhibition at Philadelphia in 187G. 10. The industrial collections given by numerous manufacturing and commercial houses of Europe and America at the time of the Philadelphia Exhibition and subsequently. 11. The materials received from mnseums in Europe and America in exchange for dnplicate specimens. 12. Collections received as gifts, deposits, or in exchange from individuals, numbering usually from 1,000 to 1,500 each year. The publications of the Museum consist of — 1. The Annual Eeport. 2. The Proceedings of the National Museum. 3. The Bulletin of the National Museum. 4. The series of circulars. Papers by members of the Museum staff' based upon the collections have been printed in every scientific periodical in the United States and in many of those of Europe. 14 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. RELATIONS OF THE MUSEUM TO THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. The Sinithsoniiiii Institution, although it bears the name of a for- eigner, lias for hiilf a century been one of the most important agencies in the intellectual life of our people. It has been a rallying point for the workers in every department of scientitic and educational work, and the chief agency for the free exchange of books, apparatus of research, and of scientific intelligence between this and other coun- tries. Its publications, which include more than two hundred volumes, are to be found in all the important libraries in the world, and some of them, it is safe to say, on the work-table of every scientitic investigator. Its great library constitutes an integral and very important part of the national collection at the Capitol, and its Museum is the richest in existence in many branches of the natural history and ethnology of the New World. Many wise and enlightened scholars have given their best years to its service, and some of the most eminent men of science to whom our country has given birth, have passed their entire lifetime in working for its success. Through these books, through the reputation of the men who have worked for it and through it, and through the good accomplished by its system of international exchange, by means of which within the past forty-three years nearly one and a half million packages of books and other scientific and literary materials have been distributed to every region of the earth, it has acquired a reputation at least as far- reaching as that of any other institution of learning in the world. It is therefore representative of what is deemed in other lands the chief glory of this nation, for whatever may be thought in other coun- tries of American art and literature, or of American institutions generally, the science of America is everywhere accepted as sound, vigorous, and i)rogressive. In the scientific journals of Great Britain and other Euro])ean coun- tries the reader finds most appreciative reviews of the scientific publi- cations of the Smithsonian, tlie Museum, the Bureau of Ethnology, the Geological Survey, the Department of Agriculture, and the Fish Com- mission, and they are constantly holding uj) the Government of the United States as an example of what governments should do for the support of their scientific institutions. It is surely a legitimate source of pride to Americans that their work in science should be so thoroughly appreciated by other nations, and it is important that the reputation should be maintained. Nothing can be more in consonance with the spirit of our Government, nor more in accord with the injunction of Washington in his Farewell Address, admiringly quoted by Sir Lyon Playfair in his address as president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science: Promote, then, as an object of prvmary importance, in.stitntions for the tjvneral difusion of Icnowledge. REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 15 In proportion ower even more intiuential than the ]>ublic library. The venerable director of the South Kensington Museum, the late Sir Phili]) Cunliffe Owen, speaking from an experience of thirty-five years, not oidy in his own establishment, but in the work of building up the score of affiliated museums in the various provincial towns of Great Britain, remarked to the writer: Wo ediicato our worlcing people in the public scliools, j?ive tliem a love for refined and l)eaiitiful objects, aud stimulate in tlieui a desire for information. They leave school, go iuto the pursuits of town life, and have no means provided for the 20 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 18!r). griitilication of the tastes which they have been forced to ac»iniro. It in as much the duty of the tiovorunieut to provide thcin with museums and libraries for their higher educatiou as it is to establish schools for their jirimary instruction. Ill tlie same couversation Sir Philip insisted very strongly that a museum not actually engaged in educational work of some kind could not long survive, pointing to the great system of lectures and exam- inations connected with the Science and Art Department of the Council of Education, of which the South Kensington Museum was one of the chief agencies. II.—SPECIAL TOPICS OF THE YEAR. The changes already made in the form of the Annual Eeport, bejrin- ning with the volume for 1893, have been continued in this volume. It is believed that they have proved advantageous in many ways. The most important innovation in Part i of this Re])ort is the Appendix which relates to the statement concerning the Library of tlie National Museum. This consists of a complete list of all accessions to the library during the year 1894-95, but does not include books belonging to the Smithsonian library which have been withdrawn for the purposes of the National Museum. The headings which follow indicate the topics which are thought to be of special importance in connection with both the scientific and administrative operations of the Museum during the year. THE MUSEUM STAFF. The number of organized departments and sections in the Museum is now 28. There are 7 administrative divisions. Hon, Charles D. Walcott, Director of the United States Geological Survey, has been appointed honorary curator of all the paleontological collections, which are now embraced in the department of paleontology. The names of those in charge of the various sections of this department are mentioned in Appendix i. Mr. J. E. Watkins was appointed curator of the technological collections in February, 1895. In May Dr. J. M. Flint, U. S. N., was detailed by the Secretary of the Navy to serve again as honorary curator of the section of materia medica in the National Museum, {hus relieving Medical Inspector Daniel Mc:Murtrie, TT. S. N. Mr. F. W. True and Dr. Leonhard Steineger were detailed in the spring of 1895 to report to the Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries for the purpose of accompanying an expedition to Alaska and the adjacent islands, with a view to studying the seal rookeries. They were temporarily transferred to the roll of the Fish Commission for this work. On July 1, 1894, Mr. R. E. Earll was appointed editor of the Pro- ceedings and Bulletins of the Museum. Later in the year he was appointed special agent on behalf of the Museum for the Cotton States and International Exposition to be held at Atlanta. 21 22 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 189.-). Dr. Theodore dill and Dr. \l. K. ('. Stearns are now recognized as Associates in /ooloi;y, Dr. C. A. AVhite, in paleontology, and Dr. II. W. Sbufeldt, in comparative anatomy. Tu Jannary Dr. G. V. Merrill was detailed for special duty in the office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury. Mr. F. 11. Knowlton resigned on July o, 1894, although he is still connected with the Museum in an honorary capacity as custodian of mesozoic ]»lants. During the year Dr. .1. N. Kose, of the Department of Agriculture, was appointed honorary assistant curator of the department of botany in tlie jMuseum, and Mr. E. S. Matthews was appointed an aid in the department of mammals. On October 1, 1S()4, Dr. Walter Hough was appointed assistant curator of the department of ethnology; Mr. Charles W. Eichmond was appointed an assistant in the department of birds on July 1 of the same year, and on November 1 Miss M. J. Eathbun, connected with the department of marine invertebrates, was made an assistant curator. Mr. Charles T. Simi)son was designated assistant in charge of the department of mollusks on May 1 7, during the absence in Alaska of Dr. Dall, honorary curator. ACCESSIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS. The accession entries relating to material received during the year have occupied Nos. 28312 to 29534, inclusive, giving a total of 1,223 separate lots. This is an increase of 62 over the preceding year, and any increase is the more remarkable from the fact that with very few exceptions no effort whatever has been made to induce persons to deposit their collections in the National Museum. This undesirable l)olicy has been made necessary by the entire lack of additional exhibi- tion space. The material received during tlie year has for the most part been placed in storage, It amounts to 127,324 specimens of all kinds. The three departments receiving the largest increases were prehistoric anthropology, mollusks, and insects. An effort has been made to obtain from the curators iigures representing the number of specimens received during the year, as well as the total number of specimens in their departments on June 30, 1895. The appended tables, A and B, show the results. It is shown that there are now 3,4(K3,855 specimens of all kinds in the custody of the Museum. The table indicating in parallel columns the totals in the different departments at the end of each year since 1882 has been withdrawn, as it was found that without numerous footnotes it was impossible to account for the discrepancies which appeared to exist from a comparison of the totals of one year with another in the light of the table giving the num- ber of specimens received in each department during the year. This last number added to the total for the previous year seldom gave the actual total for the year following, on account of specimens withdrawn for distribution and otherwise disposed of. On the other hand, as in REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 23 the department of geology, tlie total for a given year was liable to exceed the total for the previous year by more tlian tlic number repre- senting the specimens obtained during the year. This might be readily accounted for by the fact that one large specimen u]>on its arrival would not unfrequently be broken into a large number of smaller ones. Hence the necessity for numerous explanatory notes arose, and for this reason the arrangement of these tables, as here given, will bo ado])ted in future reports of the Museum.

TRANSFER OF THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. In 1860 the ISTational Herbarium was transferred from the Smithsonian Institution to the Department of Agriculture. The reasons for this transfer are given under the head of "Review of work in the scientific departments.'" Within the last year, however, a formal communication was received from the Assistant Secretary of Agriculture proposing that the Herbarium be again housed by the Smithsonian Institution. The reasons for the desired change are given in the letter of the Assist- ant Secretary of Agriculture, dated July 21, 1891, which is reprinted in the chapter referred to above. The proposition was agreed to by the Smithsonian Institution, and the actual transfer of the Herbarium took place in September of the same year. 26 REPORT OF NATIONA]. MUSEUM, 18'J5.

EXCHANGES OF SPECIMENS ^riTII INSTITUTIONS AND INDIVIDUALS ABROAD. The Museum has for many years maintained exchanges of specimens not only with domestic institutions but also, and chiefly, with foreign museums. This practice has enabled the Museum to dispose profita- bly of its duplicates, and at the same time to furnish museums and colleges in other countries with valuable American material for display or study. The Museum has exchange relations with almost every museum of importance in the world. Exchanges of specimens not infre- quently lead to exchanges of publications also, and by this means the Museum library has received numerous accessions. Especially has this been the case since 1894, when a special effort was made to obtain from foreign museums publications which at that time were wanting on our shelves. The exchanges of si)ecimens with institutions at home are so indicated in the Accession List, which is printed as Api)endix ii. The exchanges with foreign museums and other institutions and individuals abroad are here briefly referred to. FOREIGK EXCHANGES IN 1894-95. Birdfi.—Birds' skins have been sent to Mr. A.

COOJ'ERATION OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS OP THE GOVERNMENT; The large annual increase in the national collections is due in no small degree to the aid which the Executive Departments of the Gov crnment have extended in various ways. Much valuable assistance has also been rendered by officials of the Departments who have found it practicable to perform certain work in the interest of the ]\luseum witlnmt interfering Avith their official duties. In the Department of State, Hon. W. W. Rockhill, who has made very liberal contributions to the collection in past years, is one of the warmest friends of the Museum. Mr. R. I). L. Mohun, of the Consular Bureau, has i)resented a large and valuable collection of ethnological objects from the Kongo region. Mr. Isaac Townsend Snn'th has been instrumental, in his capacity of consul-general of Siam, in forwarding to the Museum, in behalf of the King- of Siam, through his Royal Highness Prince Devagongse Varaprakar, minister of fcn-eign affairs, Bangkok, Siam, a Siamese edition of the sacred writing "Tripitaka" REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 31 of the soutlierii Biuldliists, Mr, 11. M. liartleiiuin, cluirgc'' d'affaires of the United States at Caracas, Venezuela; Hon. C. H. Benedict, United States consul at Cape Town, Africa; Mr. X. C. Gram, United States consular ayent at Dryefjord, Iceland, have also extended their friendly offices in increasing' the collections. The 3Iusemn is indebted to the Treasury Department for the prompt manner in which free entry lias been granted for material obtained irom many parts of tlie world. This courtesy has been extended over a long period of years. Lieut. J. H. Scott and Mr. Sheldon Jackson, of the Revenue-Marine Service, have given their personal aid in adding to the collections. Mr. Isaac Winston, of the United States Coast and (reodetic Survey, has also been a contributor. In the War Department the same friendly spirit of cooperation has been manifested. The Quarter-masters Department has saved the Museum both time and money in connection with the transportation to Washington of heavy material from remote localities. Several Army officers have made contributions of interesting specimens totheMnseum. Among these are Capt. P. H. Ivay, Lieut. W. "N". Hughes, Lieut. Wirt Robinson, Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, Dr. Timothy E. Wilcox, and Dr. C. E. Woodruff. In the same way the Musenm is indebted to several officers of the Xavy for addition to the collections—Rear-Admiral R. W. Meade, Lieut. Charles Emmericdi, Lieut. C. H. Harlow, and Lieut. Herbert Wiiislow. In the latter part of May, 189."), Dr. James M. Flint was again assigned to ara- tion. The bulletin will be accompanied by an atlas of i^lates. The second of the series of Special Bulletins in quarto form, entitled "Oceanic Ichthyology," relating to the deep-sea and pelagic fishes of the world, by G. Brown Goode and Tarleton II. Beau, the pre]>aration of which was noticed in the Report for last year, has been set in type, and will shortly go to press. The preparation of the third of the series of Special Bulletins, being the second volume of " Life Histories of North American Birds," by Charles E. Bendire, has rai»idly progressed, and the bulletin is already i)artially in type. This, as well as the preceding, will also be published in the Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge. Four circulars have been issued by the Museum during the year, Nos. 43 to 45, requesting the transmission of publications of scientific bodies and educational establishments to the Museum library and inviting the contribution of authors' separates and reprints, and No. 46, soliciting the cooperation of students and collectors in forwarding plants found in the District of Columbia, and notes concerning them, for incorporation in a proposed revised edition of Bulletin 22, by Lester F. Ward, entitled "A Guide to the Flora of Washington and Vicinity,'' which a]>peared in 1881. MATERIAL LENT FOR INVESTIGATION.

WOEK OF STUDENTS AND INVESTIGATORS AT THE MUSEUM. A iiiiuiber of persous have availed themselves of the privilege of examining Museum material in the offices and laboratories of the cura- tors. These include students, specialists from various parts of the country who had come to Washington for the purpose of consulting the collections, and officers of several of the scientific bureaus of the Gov- erninent. ])r, Edgar A. Mearns, U. S. A., spent considerable time in the dei)art- nient of mammals studying the large collection from the Mexican boundary which he had been foremost in gathering in connection with his work on the survey. Many specimens Mere also sent to him at Fort INIyer, Va., for examination and comi)arison. He has in view the pub- lication of an extensive report on the geographical distribution and relationships of the various forms inhabiting the southern border of the United States. The officers of the Division of Ornithology and Mammalogy of the Department of Agriculture have had free access to the mammal collections. Mr. J. M. Stowell, of the Lelaud Stanford Junior University, visited the Museum during the summer of 1894, for the purpose of studying the methods of taxidermy employed here. The committee on classification and nomenclature of the American Ornithologists' Union held its sessions in the office of the curator of the department of birds, and made daily use of the study series, thereby deciding numerous questions of importance in connection with the Union's "Check List of JSTorth A merican Birds." Mr. Charles B. Cory, of Boston, Mass., consulted the collections in connection with the identifi- cation of species of Ehdnea from San Domingo. Mr. William Brewster brought to the Museum a number of specimens of North American and Mexican birds, whose correct determination necessitated a comparison with types and other specimens in the Museum. Dr. A. K. Fisher, of the Department of Agriculture, examined specimens on various occa- sions, mainly in connection with his work at the Department, Maj. Charles E. Bendire, honorary curator of the department of oology in the Museum, frequently consulted the collections of birds in connection witli the identification of s[)ecimcus, and also to aid him iu flxng the geographical range of species included in the second volume of his -' Life Histories of North American Birds." Mr. Henry C. Oberholser, of the Department of Agriculture, has almost daily consulted the study series iu connection Mith special investigations which he is conducting, and also with a view to obtaining a more detailed knowledge of the North American species and subspecies of birds. Mr. R. P. Currie has made similar use of the collections. Mr. E. E. xVrmstrong did considerable volunteer work in the de])artment of birds, at the same time improving the opportunity to study the collections. Dr. C Baur, of the University of Chicago, who was engaged for a time REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 43 in the study of the Testndiiiata, and Prof. B. 1). Cope, of Phihulelpbia, were given facilities for study in the laboratory of the department of reptiles, in connection with the i)reparatiou of his forthcoming- work on "The Snakes and Lizards of North America," which will be published as a bulletin of the IMuseum, Prof. C. W. Johnson, of the Wagner Free Institute of Science, Phila- delphia, visited the Museum several times to consult the collection of Stratyomyidw, and Prof. Lawrence Brnner, of Lincoln, Nebr., con- sulted the collections of Lepidoptera and Hynienoptera for the pur- pose of identifying western species. Mr. Ellison A. Smith, professor of biology at the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College, Blacks- burg, Va., consulted the collection in connection with the identification of exotic butterflies, and Prof. J. B. Smith, of New Brunswick, N. J., visited the Museum for the purpose of examining material in connec- tion with his monographic work on the Noctuids. Mr. 0. H. Roberts and Mr. Aug. Merkel, of New York City, and C^apt. Henry John Elwes, president of the P]ntomological Society of London, also consulted the collections in the department of insects. During the present year, as heretofore. Dr. Theodore Gill made use of the collections of fishes in connection with liis studies of families and genera. Mr. Barton W, Evermann comjiared specimens in the collection with material obtained by field parties of the U. S. Fish Com- mission. During the summer of 1894, Prof. C. C. Nutting, of the State Uni- versity of Iowa, spent several weeks in the laboratory of the department of marine invertebrates studying the large collection of Hydroids, espe- cially the West Indian forms. Dr. R. P. Bigelow si)ent a few days at the Museum in revising his report on the Stomatopoda. Prof. A. E. Verrill has continued his studies at New Haven of the Fish Commission material from the Atlantic coast north of Cape Hatteras, and especially of tlie echinoderms. Dr. Albert Hassall, of the Bureau of Animal Industry, Department of Agriculture, has made use of the Museum collections in connection with his studies of scientific and economic helminthology. In the department of mollusks, Prof. William B. Clark, of Johns Hop- kins University, studied the Tertiary fauna of ]\Liryland; Mr. Charles W. Johnson, of the Wagner Free Institute of Science, Philadelphia, studied the Tertiary fanna of North Carolina, and Mr. T. Wayland Vaughan, of the U. S. Geological Survey, spent some time in the study and examination of the Eocene corals. During the year Mr. J. D. McGuire, of Ellicott City, Md., continued his studies of the art of stone working. Mr. Stewart Culin, of the University of Pennsylvania, spent considerable time in the department of ethnology in the study of games and gambling devices, with a view to comparing them witli the series in the Museum of Archipology and Paleontology at the university. Dr. Franz Boas i>rosecuted an extended 44 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. study of tlie ethnology of the ludiaus of the Northwest Coast, speud- iug a great deal of time in arranging and labeling specimens. The results of this study and of his visit to the Northwest Coast in 1895 are embodied in a paper on the " Social Organization and the Secret Societies' of tlie Kwakiutl Indians," published in this volume. Dr. W. J. Hofl'man, of the IJureau of Ethnology, was also engaged for a considerable time in the prosecution of investigations in the department of ethnology. A paper by him on ''The Graphic Arts of the Eskimo" api)ears in Part ii of this volume. Prof. J. M. Coulter, of Lake Forest University, spent about ten days in the herbarium during February and March in the study of Mexican Umbellifera'. I)r. B. L. llobinson was occui^ied about a week in the study of the lianuuculacejiB and neighboring families. Prof. Edward L. Greene, of Berkeley, Cal., spent several days in making critical observations of Western species. Dr. Marcus E. Jones, of Salt Lake City, determined a large collection of plants, giving about four or five months to the work. Mr. John B. Leiberg, of Hope, Idaho, was in Washington for several weeks studying the plants of eastern Oregon; and Mr. P. A. Kydberg, of Lincoln, Nebr,, spent two months in the completion of a report on a collection of plants which he obtained in the Black Hills in 1S92. VISITOKS. The following statement shows the number of visitors to the Museum and Smithsonian buildings for each month during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895 : Month. 1894. July August September October November December 1895. January February March April May June Total Approximate daily average on a basis of 313 object of making a better balanced arrangement and one more attractive, also to break up the continuous vista pre- viously maintained in the center of the hall. It was found necessary thereafter to raise the large cast of a humpback whale, which was done. The series of inter- locked antlers was transferred to the osteological hall. Several groups fur which no place could be found were packed and stored. Large labels were made for the series of porpoise casts arranged on top of the wall cases. The Audubon lithographic pictures of mammals which were purchased and framed by the Museum some time ago, were hung in the office of the curator until a more suitable place could be found for them. The cetacean molds were all overhauled and a detailed list made of them for reference. The taxidermists mounted eight skins, but on account of being called upon for other work nothing Avas completed. A large amount of work was done upon the alcoholic study series in the way of cataloguing, arranging, rebottliug, etc. The Mearus collection was gone over, a concordance of collector's and Museum numbers made, and other necessary work performed. All new accessions were cata- logued and put in cases. A large number of skins from the taxidermists' vats were labeled and put in their jjroper places. The work of the taxidermist is referred to more in detail elsewhere. The present condition of the collections, so far as the preservation of the material contained in them is concerned, is better than at any previous time, as is shown in the following extract from Mr. True's report : The exhibition series is in good condition, but the space and cases in which to exhibit it are entirely inadequate. This applies especially' to the large mammals. The wall cases are so full that only the heads and necks of the deer, antelope, etc., can be seen. The floor cases are so much crowded that light is obstructed, and the attractiveness of the collection is much diminished. There are numerous antelopes, deer, seals, etc., in the taxidermists' vats, which, when mounted, can be exhibited only with much difficulty and under unfavorable conditions. As regards the study series, more storage cases are needed foi- the large skins. The alcoholics will need a great deal more labor spent upon them. As pointed out last year, the large skulls of horned mammals are in need of better installation. A plan was submitted for that purpose, but was not acted upon. The great series of small skulls, as stated last year, is in a very unsatisfactory condition as regards installation. Some 1,500 boxes were purchased for these skulls during the year, but it was not possible to get the skulls transferred into them. The card catalogue of skins and alcoholics needs revision. This is an important matter, but can not be taken up and brought to a finish in the midst of constant interruption. An incomplete catalogue of this kind is of practically no value. Besides the necessary administrative work accomplished in connec- tion with the care of the incoming material and the installation of the specimens most suitable for exhibition, Mr. True lias made special stud- ies in certain directions. These have resulted iu the preparation of a 52 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. paper ou the occurreuce of armadillos of the ^enim Xenio-us in Central America. He has nearly completed a comprehensive paper ou the "Antlers of the Deer Family." This will be published as one of the accompanying- i)apers in the next Keport. Work has also been con- tinued on a monograph of the Americau moles, in connection with which the preparation of a series of osteolbgical drawings was found neces- sary. Mr. True has published four papers during the year—two in " Science''' and two in the " Proceedings of the National Museum." The titles are given in the Bibliography (Appendix iv). A new species was described in the paper on the "Eodents of the genus 8minthus in Kashmir," under the name of ^Sm^nfhns fants. In May, 1895, Mr. True was temporarily attached to the staff of the U. S. Fish Commission, at the request of the Acting Commissioner, for the purpose of making a special study of the seal rookeries. Owing to the limited appropriations made by Congress for the main- tenance of the Museum, very little can be done in the way of explorations under the direct auspices of the Museum. Assistance was rendered to Dr. Mearns in his work connected with the survey of the Mexican Boundary, by supplying him with collecting material. An expedition to Lake Okeechobee, Florida, by Mr. Kidgway and Mr. William Palmer, resulted in obtaining a small number of mammals, chietly forms not well represented in the collections. It is most fortunate for the Museum that the friendly and valuable assistance of Dr. W. L. Abbott, which has been so often manifested in his generous gifts, has been con- tinued this year. As already stated, a very important accession has recently been received from him as the result of his explorations in Turkestan and Kashmir. The expedition of Mr. William Astor Chanler and Lieutenant von Hohnel in the Tana Kiver region. East Africa, has yielded an important contribution to the Museum collection of mam- mals. Reference should also be made to the collections of Mr. J. D. Figgins in Maryland, and of Mr. J. II. Camp in the Congo region, West Africa. The thanks of the Museum are further due to Mr. Charles H. Townsend, naturalist of the Fish Commission, for his zeal in obtaining specimens for the Museum while engaged in collecting work under the auspices of the United States Fish Commission. In accordance with established usage, the Museum has lent its mate- rial freely to scientific investigators for study. In this connection may be mentioned several transmissions of specimens from this department to Dr. J. A. Allen and Mr. F. M. Chapman, of the American Museum of Natural History, New York; Dr. Harrison Allen, of Philadelphia; Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, for use in his studies of the Mexican Boundary collection; Mr. S. N. Ehoads, of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Scieiu'cs, and Mr. G. S. Miller, jr., of the Department of Agriculture. Opportunity to study the collection of mammals in the Museum build- ing has also been extended to Dr. ]\[earns and to the members of the staff in the division of economic ornithology and mammalogy in the Department of Agriculture. REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 53 In addition to tliose already mentioned as having made direct contri- butions to the collections, the Museum in general, and this department in particular, has benefited greatly through the friendly cooperation of Maj. Timothy E. Wilcox, V. S. A., Fort Huachuca, Ariz., Avho has sent in many interesting si)ecimens from time to time from the vicinity of his post; to Dr. Sheldon Jackson, of the Bureau of Education, who transmitted a skin of Spermophile, and to Prof. F. A. Ward, Kochester, K. Y., Prof. William Trelease, of the Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis, and Dr. P. L. Sclater, London, England. The curator states that many of the ofticers and employees of the Museum have inter- ested themselves in obtaining specimens for the collection, no less than eighteen different persons having rendered such assistance during the year. Regarding the plans which the curator has in mind for improving the collection of mammals, he writes: What the Museum now needs moi^e thau anything else, in my opinion, is a better reiireseutation of exotic mammals. Of about 410 genera usually recognized, we liossess repre^sentatives of only 240, leaving 170 genera entirely unrepresented. Furthermore, many of the genera now in the collection are represented only by a single imperfect skin, or a single skeleton. (Of skulls I have taken no notice.) On very many occasions, in order to become acquainted with the character of a genus or species, I have been compelled to extract the skull (often imperfect) from the single siiecimen in the collection. The study of mammals has greatly increased of late, and the investigations are taking a wider range than ever before. In this work the need of specimens of ibreigu groups is strongly felt, as it is recognized that work upon American mate- rial alone is liable to lead to one-sided results. There is no full collection of foreign mammals in America, and at present our students must limit their researches, or go abroad to study. In my opinion, the national collection should endeavor to fill this need. The number of specimens added to the collection during the year was 1,484. In the catalogue of skins, skulls, and alcoholics 1,872 entries were made, the last entry in June, 1894, having been 60,G07, and in June, 1895, 02,479. Skeletons are considered as anatomical specimens, and are entered in the catalogue of the department of com- parative anatomy. In the volume in which are entered the specimens belonging to the deposit of the Department of Agricnlture 6,402 entries have been made, the last entry in June, 1894, having been 65,818, and in June, 1895, 72,220. DEPAllTMENT OF BITIDS. The curator, Mr. Eobert llidgway, reports the number of accessions as somewhat in advance of those received in 1894, while the number of entries in the catalogue has been more than 1,100 in excess of that year. The scientific value of the accessions of this year is also reported as greater than of those received in 1894. The curator mentions the names of thirty establishments and individuals from whom important additions to the collections have been received. The list is headed with 54 REPORT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. the name of Mr. A. Boucaid, Isle of Wight, Kuglaud, who presented 1,060 speciiiiens. These represent a large number of families. Dr. W. L. Abbott, whose name occurs in connection with accessions in several of the departments, contributed 258 specimeus from Kashmir, Ladak, and Turkestan. Six accessions, including si)ecies obtained in Arizona, California, and Lower California, wore transmitted by Br. Edgar A. Mearns, TJ. S. A., and Mr. F. X. Holzuer, in connection with their work on the Mexican IJonndary Survey. In addition. Dr. Mearns also contributed .'UO specimeus, representing 100 species, from Fort Clark and Fort Hancock, Tex. The curator obtained 152 specimens from Florida, Maryland, and Illinois, and Mr. R. S. Matthews, of the National jNlnseum, presented 159 specimens of birds from the United States, Mexico, and Central America. Mr. Charles W. Richmond, assistant curator of this department, presented 115 specimens from Virginia, Mexico, Borneo, and other localities. Mr. William Palmer, chief tax- idermist of the Museum, presented S specimens of Hooded AVarbler from Virginia, and also collected 30 specimens from Florida. In addi tion to collections received from individuals, mention should be made of the contribution of 21 specimens from Alaska by the IT. S. Fish Commission, and of 41 specimens from South America, ac(]uired from the La Plata Museum, La Plata, Argentina, in exchange. A series of specimens has been selected with considerable care for a special exhibit of a popular character. This has l»een installed on the first floor of the south tower. In this series it is intended to include every species likely to be asked for by the casual visitor, or by anyone nmking an elementary study of ornithology. It is thought that it will be of especial interest to the pupils of the public schools. The exhibit consists of the following series: The more familiar European birds; the more familiar North American birds; remarkable l)irds of other parts of the world; a series illustrating and explaining the confusion of pop- ular names, examples of protective coloring, protective mimicry, etc., "Giants and Pygmies," or the largest and snuillest members of certain groups; a series of eggs, showing a gradual transition in size from the egg of the extinct JK})iornis to that of the smallest humming bird; albi- nos and other abnormal color varieties and malformations, and a series of flightless l)irds, together with those of extraordinary i)owers of flight, for comparison. A catalogue will probably be printed, which, by means of reference numbers and letters, corresj^onding to the number- ing on the shelves and cases, will enable the visitor to locate any speci- men witiiout ditflculty. In addition, a label will be provided for each specimen. It is also proposed to place in the alcove a reading table and a case containing a few selected works by well-known writers on ornithology. Valuable assistance in the preparation of this exhibit has been receivei"esented 20 specimens, representing three species. Collections REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 57 were also received from the U. S. Fish Commission aud the Department of Agricultare. This collection, including both the exhibition aud study series, is in excellent conditiou, every accession being carefully catalogued, labeled, and disposed of as soou as it is received. The curator has devoted most of his time, when not engaged in work on the accessions, to the preparation of the second volume of "Life His- tories of North American Birds," which is now in the hands of the printer. The last catalogue entry made in June, 1894, was 27088 and in June, 1895, 27655. DEPARTMENT OF REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS. The material added to the collections during recent years has been of special value from a scientific standpoint, and the past year has been no exception. The number of specimens received in 1895 shows a slight increase over the records of previous years, Nearly 1,100 specimens were added to the collection, the largest number heretofore received in any one year being 1,055. This was the total for the year ending June 30, 1892, when the material from the Death Valley Expedition was received. By far the most important collection was that sent in by Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, U. S. A., of the luternational Boundary Com- mission, which was found upon examination to contain a number of new species. Dr. A. K. Fisher, of the Department of Agriculture, made collections in the vicinity of the Mexican boundary, and material of considerable value was received from him during the year. A small but interesting collection of reptiles from the Jombene Range, East Africa, was received from Mr. William Astor Chanler. Several val- uable collections were transmitted by the U. S. Fish Commission, including material obtained by Messrs. Evermann aud Hirsch from the Maumee Basin, and by Mr. C. IT. Townsend from the Galapagos Islands. Dr. William L. Abbott presented material from Turkestan, and Prof. John Macoun, of Ottawa, sent a collection of Garter snakes from Canada. A specimen of AmbJijostoma annulatum, of which only one example had previously been taken, was purchased from Messrs. H. H. and C. S. Brimley, of Raleigh, N. C. A few specimens of rare New Mexican snakes were also purchased. In addition to those whose names have already been mentioned, reference should be made to the contributions of Prof. T. D. A. Cock- erell, of Las Cruces, N. Mex., who transmitted a number of specimens of reptiles; Mr. Hubert Brown, of Tucson, Ariz., who sent in several specimens of lizards; Mr. Henry G. Hubbard, of Washington, D. C, who collected specimens of Rana cvsoptis in Florida; Mr. H. Candlin,of Kerrville, Tex., who sent specimens of snakes from that region, and Dr. O. Boettger, Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, who transmitted in 58 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. exchange two specimens of Chinese lizards, desired for purposes of coinj^arison. During the fall of 1894 the curator made a trip to the Bad Lands of South Dakota, where he obtained a number of interesting specimens. ^Ir. WilUam Palmer, of the National Museum, also made collections during his visit to Florida, in the spring of 1895. Ex])eriments have been made with formalin as a ])reservative, with a view to using it as a substitute for alcohol, but, while it has been found to possess advantages over the latter for use in the held, it is doubtful whether it will ever take the place of alcohol in the preservation of permanent museum collections. During the year the entire collection was overhauled, and the alcohol renewed. The exotic species in the study series have been rearranged. Owing to lack of space, no attempt has been made to increase the exhibition series. xVs mentioned elsewhere in this report, material has been lent to si)ecialists for study on several occasions during the year, and to Prof. E. D. Cope, of Philadelphia, were given special facilities for study iu the laboratory of the de]»artment. Dr. Stejneger has commenced the ])rei)aratioii of reports upon the reptiles of the Mexican Boundary, and upon the collections made by Dr. Fisher iu the Iluachuca Mountains. He has also continued work on his proposed manual of Japanese Herpetology. Several papers based upon Museum material have been published by the curator during the year, two of them containing descriptions of new species. All of the papers are referred to in the Bibliography (Api>endix iv). The last entry in the catalogue for the fiscal year covered by this report was 22,482, the last entry for the i)receding year having been 21,388, a total of 1,094 entries. DEPARTMENT OF FISHES. Dr. Tarleton H. Beau still remains honorary curator of tliis depart- ment, although since his change of residence to New York Mr. Barton A. Bean, assistant curator, has practically performed the duties of curator. In his report he states that, although the accessions of the year were not so numerous or important as in 1894, much valuable material has been received. The most important accessions were a collection of tishes made at Mazatlau by Dr. ])avid S. Jordan and others, and presented by the Leland Stanford Junior University; a collection of fishes made at the Azores by Prof. William Trelease, director of the Missouri Botanical Garden, St. Louis; a series of deep water tishes from the Indian Museum, Calcutta, collected by H. M. S. Invi-stUjutor in the Bay of Bengal. The U. S. Fish Commission trans- ferred to the Museum types of fourteen new species of fishes collected in Texas, Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa, and Lake Ontario; also collections of fishes from Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Columbia Eiver REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 59 IJasin. Ill all, upward of 0,000 specimens wew added to the collec- tion during- the year. Old and recent collections of Japanese and Chinese fishes, not in- stalled with the general collections, as well as collections made hy the Albatross and from other sources, in the West Indies and around the coasts of Florida, have been given a temporary place in the basement storage rooms. Duplicates from the deep sea collections have been l^rovided with metal tags and numbered, the species being separated in jars systematically arranged. Several large collections have been catalogued, including some resulting from the dredgings of the Alba- tross in the Pacific Ocean, and received during the previous year. Perhaps the most important work has been the vselection and arrange- ment of the deep sea material with a view to the preparation of the duplicates into sets for distribution to educational establishments. By this process of elimination the study series is now in a much more sat- isfactory condition. This series has also been improved by the acces- sion of new and well preserved material, including a number of types of new and rare forms. No special change has been effected in the exhibition series, which consists of five cases of casts of fishes, exhibited in the west hall of the Smithsonian building, and a large number of casts placed on the tops of cases containing corals, besides two cases of alcoholic speci- mens preserved in rectangular jars. Mr. Bean has i^repared a list of the European fishes in the collec- tions, and a list of the types of fishes i^reserved in the collections is now receiving his attention. Dr. Theodore Gill has examined a num- ber of Enropean fishes. Work upon the deep-sea fishes has been con- tinued by the Assistant Secretary and Dr. Bean, in connection with the preparation of Special Bulletin No. 2, "Oceanic Ichthyology." The assistant curator and Mr. B. W. Evermaun, of the U. S. Fish Commis- sion, have in preparation a bibliographical list of the fishes recorded from the fresh waters of North America north of the United States. Accessions of fishes resulted from the work of field parties of the Department of Agriculture in the Death Valley and in Mexico, the United States and Mexican Boundary Survey in California, and the ex- plorations of Messrs. Scovell and Woolman in Mexico in 1801. In addi- tion, collections were made in Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River during July and August, 1S94; also in Lake Champlain and in various streams of northeastern New York, by Messrs. Evermann, B. A. Bean, and others, under the auspices of the U. S. Fish Commission. These will be added to the Museum collections after examination. Material from this department has been lent to several specialists to aid them m their researches, and four collaborators of the Museum have studied the collections in the building. Twelve ])apers, based wholly or in part on the collections, have been published during the year. The authors were Dr. G. Brown Goode, 60 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. Dr. T. II.Bean, Mr. Bartou A. Bean, Mr. Charles H. Beesou, Mr. Carl H. Eigeumauii, and Dr. Theodore Gill. Two new families, 11 new genera, and 9 new species were described in these papers. Upward of G,000 specimens were received during the year. The last catalogue entry in June, 1894, was 45451, and in June, 1895, 47504. DEPARTMENT OF MOLLUSKS (INCLUDING CENOZOIC FOSSILS). The year 1894-95 has undoubtedly been one of the foremost in the accomplishment of work in this department. During the absence of the curator, Dr. AVilliam II. Dall, m Alaska, Mr. Charles T. Simpson, assistant, assumed charge of the work. Dr. R. E. C. Stearns, who has labored so faithfully for many years in this department, still serves in an honorary capacity as associate curator, although he has left Washington to reside in Los Angeles, California. The number of accessions received during the year was 111, the same as in 1894. They are, for the most part, smaller in extent, although some of them are reported by Dr. Dall as being quite valuable. The most important contributions, as in many ]>revious years, were made by Eev. Dr. L. T. Chamberlain, to whom the warmest thanks of the Museum are due for so many valuable additions to tbe collections. Among his gifts to the Museum this year was a specimen of Fleuro- tomaria bei/richi, Hilg., from Japan. Series of land, fresh-water, and marine shells from the Philippine Islands were secured from Hamline University, through Prof. H. L. Osborn, in return for naming the large collection belonging to the university. In a similar way series of Ano- doutas and Unios from Canada and British America were obtained from the Geological Survey of Canada, through Prof. J. F. Whiteaves. This material is extremely valuable in furnishing evidence of geograph- ical distribution, on account of the accurate record of the localities from which it was derived. Dr. H. von Ihering also transmitted Uniouidie and other iTesh-water shells from Central and South America, in return for aid in naming his material. Mr. W. W. Herman presented several species of Japanese marine shells, in return for similar services. Mr. W. B. K. Johnson contributed laud and fresh- water shells from the Isle of Pines, Cuba. The Young Naturalists' Society, of Seattle, Wash., gave a series of Terehratula transversa and other shells from Puget Sound. The California Academy of Sciences, through Dr. J. G. Cooper, gave a collection of Lower Californian land shells, in return for identi- ficatioDs made for the Academy. An extensive lot of land shells and other material was collected and transmitted by Dr. Edgar A. Mearus, U. S. A., in connection with his work on the Mexican Boundary Survey. From the Museum of Natural History in Paris, Fravice, has been received, in exchange, a set of brachiopods obtained by the Travailleur at great depths in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The numerous accessions received from INIiss Ida M. Shepard and Mr. T. S. Oldroyd, in connection with their investigations of the fauna of Sau Pedro Bay, California, are REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 61 very valuable to the collectiou. The first installments of the mass of material which was collected by the U. S. Fish Commission and placed many years ago in the hands of Prof. A.E. Verrill, of Yale College, for study and identification, have been received. This fact is recorded with much pleasure and the acknowledgments of the Museum are due to Professor Verrill for the long and difticult task which the study of this material has imposed upon him. The curator thus reports on the work accomplished during the year in connection with the preservation and installation of the collections: Daring the year ending June 30, 1895, about 14,132 specimens, representing about 3,000 species, have been entered upon our record book for the study collection. Most of these, together with a large amount previously entered, have been regularly incor- porated in the study series, the general index has been further added to and corrected, and lists of the species and genera for ready reference have been written and placed in each tray of the working collection. The entire general collection of Naiads has been carefully examined and compared with the Lea collectiou and literature and accurately named. They have been arranged in a natural system, in groups. At the present time Mr. Simpson is making out cards showing their distribution. A considerable part of the fine general marine collection presented by the Rev. Dr. L. T. Chamberlain has been administered upon, a part of this being added to the general collection and the remainder being jilaced among the duplicates. An extensive collection of alcoholic and dry material which was collected by the U. S. Fish Commission off the coast of New England has recently been received from Prof. A. E. Verrill, who has held the same for study and naming. The alco- holics have been carefully examined and the akohol made of preservative strength. The dry specimens are now being labeled by Miss Beard preparatory to being incoi"- porated in the study and duplicate series. During the year the shells of the family Mactrid;e have been carefully named and arranged by Dr. Dall in connection with his stiuly of the group. The tree snails of the Philippine Islands have been brought together, arranged essentially according to Pilsbry's " Manual of Conchology," and placed on exhibition. The present condition of the exhibition and study series, both of recent and Tertiary mollusks, is indicated by the curator in the following words : The general marine collection occupies the drawers of the cases running along the middle of the main hall; the collectiou from the west coast of North and South America and the general collection of land and fresh-water shells are in the south- eastern gallery; the Jeffreys collection and the collections from the West Indies and east coast of North America are in the curator's offices in the north tower; the Lea collection of Naiads is exhibited in the table cases in the eastern half of the main hall; the tree snails from the Philippine Islands are exhibited in two table cases in the western half of the main hall; the duplicates are stored in the basement; the alcoholi'c collection occupies the basement room, part of the northeastern galleiy, and two rooms in the north tower; the collection of Tertiary fossils is in the north- eastern gallery. Dr. Dall has partially completed his studies of the genus Cerion, nam- ing three new subgenera, founded on internal iamelhi?, and has finished his study and arrangement of the family Mactrid.c, and the classifi- cation of the Pelecypoda. The results have been published in the Proceedings of the National Museum and elsewhere. He has also continued his work on the Floridian Tertiary fauna. 62 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. Mr. Charles T. iSiinpsou lias completed liis investigations of the land suailsof theWest Indies, and has carried on through the year his studies of the Naiads of the Lea and general collections, resulting in a paper soon to appear in the Proceedings of the National Museum on the classification and geographical distribution of these forms. The collection has been enriched during the year by the results of the explorations of Prof. Alexander Agassiz on the yacht Wild I)ucl\ among the Bahamas. The Museum was presented with a series in return for tlie services of Dr. Dall in woildng up the collections. Explorations of the mollusk fauna of San Pedro Bay, California, have been carried on systematically by a group of couchologists, especially Miss Ida Shepard and Mr. T. S. Oldroyd, for some years. The doubtful forms have been worked out at the Museum, and a series of them, including many varieties, has been donated by the collectors. Explo- rations by the California Academy of Sciences in the Lower California Peninsula have resulted in collecting some fine and rare land shells, of which a series lias been donated to the Museum by the academy. Assistance has been extended to several couchologists by the loan of material from the collections for study in connection with special investigations. To three specialists have been accorded facilities for studying the collections of this department in the curator's laboratory. A list of these transactions will be found in another part of thelleport. The curator has determined a large amount of material, including 1,701 species forwarded for examination and report by seventy students and institutions. He has also carried on an extensive correspondence in the way of supplying technical information in reply to special inquiries from conchological students in all parts of the world. The curator has published sixteen papers during the year, almost all of which have a direct bearing on the work of this department. Dr. R. E. C. Stearns i)ublished two papers in the "Nautilus." Five papers based on material belonging to the department were published by Mr. Simpson—four in the "Nautilus" and one in the Proceedings of the National Museum. In connection with the entry in the catalogue of material belonging to this department, several volumes are used for convenience, and the total number of entries in these books indicates the entire number made during the year.

Kiley, shows an increase in the number of accessions, there being 173 in ISO.") against lO.i in the preceding year. The most important gifts in 180.") were as follows: A collection of Odouata from Chinese Turkestan, presented by Dr. William L. Abbott, whose generosity to the Museum has been so frequently manifested in his gifts to this aud other departments both in this and in previous years: a collection of Lepidoptera from Guiana, presented by the IJritish Guiana ( 'ommission to the World's Columbian Exposition; a large collection of Lepidoptera from Jombeue Range, East Africa, presented by Mi-. William Astor Chanler and Lieutenant von H(ihnel; a collection of Japanese insects representing 1,500 species of all orders from the Imperial l^niversity, Tokyo, Japan; types of 35 species of Koctuids from Prof. J. P. Smith, New Prunswick, N. J. Other valuable collections were acquired by exchange. Tlie biologic material of Coleoptera, including a large collection of European larva', obtained in past years by exchange with Schiodte aud Meynert in Coijenhagen, as well as by Professor Riley's own collectings and breedings, has been arranged in systematic order in two cabinets. A large part of the year was devoted to the study and proper arrange- ment of the exotic Coleoptera, This work was undertaken i)rimarily to facditate report upon the Japanese collection and the material obtained in East Africa by Dv. W. L. Abbott, Mr. William Astor Chan- ler, and Lieutenant von Hohnel. The urgent demand for space in other directions rendered it neces- sary to temporarily withdraw from exhibition the series illustrating systematic entomology. The study series are rei)orted to be in good condition. A large amount of material, especially in the orders Hyme- noptera and Coleoptera, remains unidentified, owing to i)ressure of work in other orders. During the year the curator commenced a com})rehensive study of the Termites of the world. The assistant, Mr. M. L. Linell, began a study of the Coleopterous fauna of the Galapagos Islands and its rela- tion to the continent. In ten instances material from this department was placed in the hands of specialists for study and identitication. Eight entomologists have taken advantage of facilities offered to study material in the curator's offices. The curator, his collaborators, and other specialists in entomology have published during the year 31 pa^jers based upon the Must-um collections. These are mentioned by titles under the names of the authors, in the Bibliography (Appendix iv). Twelve new genera and 320 new species are described in these papers. This remarkably large number was due to the descriptions by Mr. W. H. Ashmead of new genera aud species from St. Vincent, forwarded by the West India 64 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. coinmittee for identification. Under this arrangement witli Mr. Asli- mead one set of types lias been deposited in tlie U. S. National Mnseum. The unmber of specimens received dnring tlie year is about 3,000. This does not include the Japanese collection of about 10,000 speci- mens, which was received during the previous year, but not taken up on the accession records until the year 1894-95. The last entry in the catalogue in June, 1894, was 1423, and in June, 1895, 1584. DEPARTMENT OF MARINE INVERTEBRATES. An important feature of work in this department has been the dis- tribution of duplicate collections of marine invertebrates. Forty-two sets have been disposed of in response to applications from educational establishments. Keference to these and all other distributions made during the year will l)e found in Appendix x. In only four of the other departments of the Museum—minerals, geology, fishes, and pre- historic anthropology—has any systematic work in separating the duplicates for this purpose been possible. From this department, in addition, twenty-one special collections were also sent out for Museum purposes and for study. The work of preparing these collections has devolved upon the assistant curators, Mr. James E. Benedict and Miss Mary J. Kathbun. The honorary curator, Mr. Richard Rathbun, has been able to devote only a very limited amount of time to Museum matters, being almost exclusively engaged in the work of the Fish Commission, to which he is officially attached. There was an increase of eleven accessions over the number received in the preceding year, and the scientific value of the accessions for this year far exceeded that of those acquired in the jirecediug year. The total number of specimens added to the collections in 1895 was 2,378. The United States Fish Commission was the princi])al con- tributor, and from it were received four collections, comprising a large and valuable series of Ilolothurians and Foraminifera, resulting from the cruise of the Albatross to the Galapagos Islands in 1891, types of Calamocrinns diomedew Agassiz, and Brachyura and Anomura from the North Pacific Ocean, the latter group containing a fine series of Lithodida\ A collection of crustaceans and worms from the Azores was contributed by Prof. William Trelease, director of the Missouri Botanical Garden, !St. Louis, as a part of the result of his expedition. Dr, Edgar A. Mearns, U. S. A., transmitted an interesting series of invertebrates from near San Diego, Cal. This, and numerous other collections received from Dr. Mearns, was the result of an arrangement made between the War Department and the Smithsonian Institution in connection with the work of determining the boundary line between the United States and Mexico, Mr. Warren W. Herman contributed crustaceans, echinoderms, and hydractinians from Japan. Mr. Harlan I. Smith, of Saginaw, Mich., sent crayfishes, sponges, and bryozoans REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 65 from rivers in Micbigaii. He also transmitted some Oniscidnc. Impor- tant accessions were secured in excliange from the Indian Museum, Calcutta; jVIanchester Museum, Mancliester, England; University of California, Berkeley, Cal.; State University of Iowa; Leland Stanford Junior University ; Glen Island Museum, Glen Island, Xew York; Can- terbury Museum, Cbristchurcb, New Zealand; Museum of Compara- tive Zoology, Cambridge, Mass., and from several individuals. The room at the west end of the Smithsonian building, known as tlie " Chapel," is at present used as the exhibition hall for objects belong- ing to this department. The s])ace being so limited, it is necessary to use great care in selecting from the mass of material the most suitable specimens for exhibition. The result is as pleasing as is possible under the circumstances, and much has been done during the year to maintain and increase the interest of visitors. The work accom- l^lished in the preservation and installation of the collections, includ- ing not only the limited number of objects which are on exhibition, but also the much larger portions of the collections which form the reserve and study series, will be best understood from the following paragraphs taken from the annual report submitted by Mr. Benedict: The exhibition series does not ditier essentially from its condition a year ago. Five old-fashioned llat ebony cases in the west hall have been replaced by mahogany ones. The systematic series has been removed from tlie center to the north end of the hall, and two of tl:e table cases from near the center to the alcove. Labels for the collection of nionnted commercial sponges have been prepared for the printer, basement room formerly nsed by the department of reptiles was early in the assigned to this department, and with the aid of the additional storage thus orded it Avas jiroposed to make a more systematic arrangement of the alcoholics stored in the basement. But later this room was transferred to another department, and the contents were moved to a small and dark tower room leading from the gal- lery used as a workroom. The collection of annelids has been rearranged in a drawer stack in the gallery. The collections stored in homeopathic vials in the gallery'have been gone over, and alcohol and new stoppers added where necessary. The large collection of Alaskan sponges recently retiuued by Mr. Lambe has been entered in the catalogue and duplicates selected. In the winter it became necessary to overhaul thiity of the duplicate sets put up a year before, as many of the tin cases were rusted. These were renewed or the specimens transferred to jars. By far the most important work in the way of adding to the study series was the return of vast collections of material received from the United States Fish Commis- sion between the years 1871 and 1887, and stored at the Pcabody IMuseum, New- Haven, Conn., in charge of Prof. A. E. Yerrill, pending a report upon the same. In order that the return of the specimens might be facilitated, Mr. Benedict spent about three months of the i)ast year in New Haven, assisting in sorting and pack- ing under 'the direction of Professor Yerrill, the first set of duplicates being set aside for Professor Yerrill, and the remaining duplicates and the reserve set being returned to the National Museum. Much of the unidentified material has been treated as if named, a division being made and one set returned to the National Museum. The unnamed sponges were catalogued before their return, and occupy nearly 100 numbers in the catalogue book. Miss K. J. Bush has been employed tlironghout the year in dividing the jMolInsca into three sets, the third set being for Mr. Sanderson I. Smith. After the arrival of the material in Wa.shiugtou, an NAT MUS 95 5 6Q REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. invoice is made aud the mollnsks are turned ov^er to the department of moilnsks. During the year 1894-95, 68 cases of invertebrates have been shipped, coutain'ug about 7,500 lots of specimens. A beginning has been made in card-cataloguing the specimens received from this source. In connection with the jn-eparation of an exhibit for the Atlanta Exposition, it is proposed to make a series of mountings of dried si>eci- mens, especially dee] » sea corals, echinoderms, etc. These will later form a part of the i>ermaiient exhibit of the department. Notwithstanding the necessarily great ex})enditure of time in the routine work, Mr. Benedict has continued his studies of Anomura, especially of the large forms of the family Litliodida', resulting in a pai)er, describing many new genera and species, which has recently been published in the Proceedings of the National Museum. He has also devoted sucli time as he could spare to the study of the Pagurida^ Miss Kathbuu completed her study of the genus CoUinecte.s, and a report upon the same is now in press, as is also a paper containing descriptions of new species of fresh-water crabs. Work on the genera^ subject of American brachyuraus has been continued. Miss llathi spent about two weeks at the Museum of Comparative Zoolop' making comparisons of sj)ecimens, and in examining Prof. A, Edwards's types of West Indian crabs. Besides the large collections obtained from the dredgings c/ U. S. Fish Commission steamer Albatross off the west c Mexico, Central and South America, and off the Galapagos under the charge of Mr. Alexander Agassiz, and from other ex^^^^ tions made by the Albatross, several other explorations in this\ previous years have resulted in the acquisition of valuable mater^ such, for instance, as the deep-sea dredgings in the Indian Ocean 1, Her Majesty's Indian marine survey steamer Jwre.s//t has yet been made to form an exhibition series. The material obtained by Dr. Stiles is retained in the Bureau of Animal Industry until it has been studied, after which it is formally deposited, according to law, iu the National Museum. The Bureau of Animal Industry has partly for its object the investi- gation of diseases of animals. The members of its staff are therefore constantly placed in a peculiarly favorable positiou for obt^'iniug REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRP^TARY. C)i) parasitic material. The Bureau lias published a large number of valua- ble papers based on its investigations, and new studies in scientific and economic helmmthology are being constantly commenced. Thus, Dr. Stiles, who has just completed his "Revision of the Adult Leporine Cestodes," is now engaged in a study of the cestodes of birds. The titles of papers published during the year by Dr. Stiles and Dr. Hassall, based upon material in the collections, are given in the Bibli- ography (Appendix iv). At the end of June, 1895, 106 entries had been made in the catalogue. DEPARTMENT OF COMPARATIVE ANAT03IY. The curator of this department, Mr. F. A. Lucas, reports that about 250 specimens have been added to the collection during the year. The accession of greatest value is the skeleton of the type of Cerrmqjra Chanleri. This was collected by Mr. William Astor Chanler in the Tana liiver region, East Africa, and was presented by him to the National Museum. Some desirable birds in alcohol have been received from Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, resulting from his participation in the work of the Mexican Boundary Commission. Under the direction of IVIr. Lucas the work of cleaning skulls of mam- mals and skeletons and sterna of birds has been continued. During the year 850 skulls have been thus treated for the dei)artment of mam- mals alone. These are entered in the catalogue of the mammal depart- ment, and therefore the total number of entries in the catalogue of this department is correspondingly diminished. Mr. Lucas has continued his studies on the anatomy of the swifts and the tyrant tly catchers, on the taxouomic values of the tendinal perforations of the tarsus in birds, and on the modifications and taxo- uomic value of the tongues of birds. He has also commenced a study of the osteology of Zeuglodon ceioides and of the cranial characters of the finches and tanagers. Specimens of birds in alcohol have been lent to Mr. Hubert Lyman Clark and to ]Mr, W. P. Pycraft m connection with their studies of the embryology and pterylog]ai)hy of birds, and other material belonging to the department has been transmitted for investigation and compari- son to Trof. 1']. D. Cope, Dr. C. S. Huntington, and Prof. 11. F. Osborn. Several papers by the author, based on Museum material, have been ]niblished in the Proceedings of the National INiuseum, the "Ibis," the "Auk," and in "Natural Science." The chief drawback to satisfactory progress in this department, as in many of the other departments, is lack of space. Mr. Lucas has, however, several plans for future work laid out, and these are best given in his own words: Little can be done for tho improvement of the study series, owing to lack of room, but there are many specimens, especially among tlie birds, which need to be trans- ferred to proper boxes and Inbeled. and this will be done as fast as opportunity offers, while sue h sjiecimeus as can be cleaned will l)c added to the study series. 70 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. The collection of lish skeletons is in bad shape owing to cramped ([narters ; but little or nothing can be done with it, althongh it is hoped that a little room may be made available by placing material now in the study series on exhibition in the cases recently placed above the wall case. Much can be done to improve the exhibition series by providing more descriptive labels, and there are some gaps in the series of skeletons, especially among the iishes and reptiles, that it is hoped may be lilled. There arc various series of specimens which may be either introduced or added to, among them that commenced during the year showing the modifications of the dermis and epidermis. A very important series which it is hoped may be commenced soon is that showing the morphology of the bones of the mammalian ear and hyoid. Another important piece of work which has merely been begun is the representation of extinct forms in the series of skele- tons. It is desirable that this should be done in order that the relations of existing animals may be properly understood, and it is proposed to introduce in their proper places typical fossils or casts of fossils, supplemented by figures of the entire skele- ton, these to be accompanied by suitable explanatory labels giving the anatomical characters, affinities, and geological range of the various orders or other groups. It is also desirable to extend the tooth series, the series of domesticated animals, and above all the synoptic series of invertebrates. In this connection the curator would call attention to the J'act that the care of the fossil vertebrates takes much of his time, and tiiat the time of the one preparator and one skilled laborer allotted to the department of comparative anatomy is very largely occupied with work for the departments of mammals and paleontology. The first aud lasteutrie.s in the various catalogues of tlie departmeut are shown in the following table: Last entry Last entry June 30. j June 30, 1894. ' 1895. Increase.

It has for many years been felt desirable to centralize all the paleon- tological collections under one general administration, but not until the prcvsent fiscal year has it been found possible to effect the necessary arrangements. Hon. C. D. Walcott, Director of the F. S. Geological Survey, has accepted the honorary charge of all the paleontologicnl col- lections, with Mr. Charles Schuchert as assistant curator. The several divisions of the department which have heretofore existed still remain, with one exception, under the charge of the same ofiicers who have hitherto controlled them. The principal object gained by the change is that all paleontological material, as soon as it arrives at the Museum, is assigned to the main departmeut, thus securing a better system of record than formerly, aud thence it is assigned to the special division or divisions of the department to which it belongs. It will now also be possible to bring the work incident to the installation of all thei)aleou- tological material under one uniform system, and at the same time to REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 71 relieve several of the custodiaus of the necessity of atteudiag to the details of this work. The personnel of this department now includes lion. C. D. Walcott as honorary curator, witli Mr. Charles Schuchert as assistant curator. The vertebrate fossils are still under the charge of Prof. O. C. Marsh, although the actual work on these collections has been performed by Mr. F. A. Lucas. The invertebrate fossils are divided among Mr. Schu- chert, Mr. T. W. Stanton, and Dr. W. H. Dall, while the fossil plants remain under the general sui^ervision of Prof. Lester F. Ward, with Mr. F. II. Knowlton and Mr. David White as custodians of the Mesozoic and Paleozoic collections, respectively. Dr. Charles A. White, who for many years has personally had the entire charge of the Mesozoic (collection of invertebrate fossils, is now largely relieved of this work by Mr. Stanton. Dr. White has been designated ''Associate in Paleontology." The Museum owes a large debt of gratitude to him for his efficient work on tlie Mesozoic collec- tion of invertebrate fossils, and it is a source of congratulation that the advantages of his advice and honorary connection with the Museum are to be continued. The increase in and the scientitic value of the paleontological collec- tions received during the year are regarded as very gratifying, espe- cially in the case of the vertebrate fossils. This collection, under the curatorship of Prof. O. C. Marsh, of Yale College, has been increased by the addition of about 05 specimens. Among the more important of these is a large collection of bones of Zeuglodon gathered in Missis- sippi and Alabama by Mr. Charles Schuchert. Thirty vertebne of Zeuglodon were also obtained, in exchange, from the Agricultural and Mechanical College, Agricultural College, Miss. In addition, j\[r. Schuchert collected a large number of specimens of Middle Devonian corals from Moreland, Ky. A skull of bison from the Kansas gravels was presented by Dr. A. G. Chase, and a skull of rortheus molossus by Mr. E. E. Howell. Casts of a number of fossils have been obtained by exchanges with the Museum of Natural History in Paris, the La Plata Museum, and with Mr. Henry A. Ward, of Rochester, N. Y. A cast of a skeleton of Pelargosaurv.s ti/piis was acquired by an exchange with the University of Caen, France, and an excellent specimen of Ichthi/o- saurus from Lyme Pegis, England, was received in exchange from the Wagner Free Institute, Philadelphia, Pa. A small series of fossils has been placed on exhibition, and a num- ber of large casts placed on the walls or on the tops of the wall cases. From the collection of bones of Zeuglodon a restoration, more than 50 feet in length, has been made for exhibitiim at the Atlanta Exposition. This will be added to the exhibition series after its return to Washing- ton. The many casts of vertebrates in foreign museums received during the year are of great value lor comparative and decorative pur- poses. Although the exhibit of this section of the paleontological department is but small, it has already attracted much attention, and 72 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1«95. tliG casts and fossil bones of large vertebrates are a constant source of wonder and interest to visitors, A loan of the type of Aceratherium occideiitdic was made to Prof. H. F. Osborn for use in liis studies of the extinct species of rliiuoceros in Xortli America. A large number of specimens received previously liave been catalogued only during this year. These, together with the entry of material received in 18'.)4-95, make a total of 283 entries in tlie catalogue, the last number taken up in June, 1804, being 1635, and in June, 1805, 1918. One of tiie most important accessions to the department of paleon- tology, from the standpoint of scientific value, is the collection of Ter- tiary insects from Colorado and Wyoming, received from the U. S. Geo- logical Survey. The greater part of it has already been described and illustrated by Prof. Samuel 11. Scudder in Monograph xxi of the Survey. The magnificent collection of fossil plants, including also some fossil fishes, presented by Mr. E. D. Lacoe, of Pittston, Pa., has been referred to in previous reports. The removal of the collection to Washington was placed in the hands of Mr. David White, who has pushed the work rapidly forward with untiring and intelligent perseverance. The sixth installment has been received during the year. This consisted of two boxes of fishes from New Jersey, three boxes of Cretaceous and Tertiary plants, and 43 boxes of Paleozoic plants. It is expect(Ml that additional material will be received during* the coming year, and in the Eei)ort for 1895-90 a more extended reference will be made to the character and contents of this exceedingly valuable collection. Much has been accomplished toward housing and arranging the mate- rial. During the year 104 boxes have been unpacked, and with the specimens received in former years this collection fills the 600 drawers purchased for the collection, to which the two south tower rooms are devoted. The arrangement and installation of the material has been performed by Mr. David White. A large collection of Middle Cambrian fossils from British Columbia, fossil plants from llhode Island and Massachusetts, and fossil fishes, 1)1 ants, and insects from the Triassic in Massachusetts, have been received from the U. S. Geological Survey. Mr. 11. A. Blair, Sedalia, Mo., has presented 60 specimens of Lower Carboniferous fossils, includ- ing several specimens of a well-preserved graptolite {Dictyonema). Their occurrence extends the known range of these coelenterates into the base of the Lower Carboniferous. This is a matter of considerable scientifi(^ importance, as graptolites had not hitherto been known to occur above the Middle Devonian. The exhibit of the paleontological material is contained, so far as at present prepared, in the southeast court, which has been again o])eued to the i)ublic. A new and more ap])ropriate entrance to the court was cut through the south wall, and tiie eastern one closed. The former REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 73 crowded condition of the court was relieved by removiiii;' tlie plants and vertebrates from the slope-top cases to the wall cases, alloNving eight slope-to]) cases to be discarded. Thirty-two of these cases remain for the exhibition oi' invertebrate fossils. The phmts and vertebrates are being arranged in the wall cases, with the four corners of the room occnpied by large slabs of tracks, standing on screens. All the fossil insects in the department have been asseml)led and appropriately mounted with figures on tiles. This collection is now on exhibition in a Hat-top case. Considerable time has been expended in caring for the paleozoic col- lections of the Geological Survey, 20 boxes having been unpacked and the specimens washed and provisionally assorted. Work on the paleozoic plants will be pushed to completion by Mr. David White, on his return to Washington. The exhibits of the meso- zoic and cenozoie i»l;ints are nearing completion, and the numuscript for the labels is nearly ready for the i>rinter. Three additional eases are retpiired by Professor Ward, which, with the 7 alieady assigned, will permit of 5 being dev^oted to tlie Lacoe collection of paleozoic; plants and the other 5 to mesozoic and cenozoie plants. If sufficient cases can be provided, it will no doubt be possible to install an exhibit of vertebrate fossils, under the supervision of Mr. Lucas, which will prove very attractive and instructive. The invertebrate fossils exhibited and stored in the 32 slope-top cases will re«iuire nnieh labor m connection with tlie selecting, mounting, and working up of nearly 400 boxes now in storage. Much of this material in storage is the property of the (Geological Survey, but is all at the disposal of the Museum as soon as an opportunity occurs to work it uj). The study series practically remains in the same condition as formerly This collection also reipiires much work to remove the duplicate mate- rial and to clean and enter upon the Museum registers all material desirable for the j)ernianent collections. Mr. Schuchert has continued his studies of fossil Brachiopoda, and it is hoped that a paper resulting from this work, to be entitled " Synopsi-sof North and South American Fossil Brachiopoda, including Bibliography and Synonymy" will soon be ready for publication. The special studies of Dr. Dall are referred to under the head of the department of mollusks. Material in the custody of this department has been lent for study to Prof. John M. Clarke, Albany, N. Y.; to Prof. William B. Clark, Johns Hopkius University, and to Prof. J. F. Whiteaves, of the Geological Survey of Canada. Fossils have been sent to Mr. E. O. Ulrich, of jSTew- port, Ky., and to Prof. John M. Clarke for identification, and the Museum is under obligations to these gentlemen for their courtesy in this connection. Although there is a great (juantity of most interesting nuiterial for study and descrijition on hand in all of the various collections of this 74 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. department, there has been afforded very little opportuuity for the preparation of papers for jmblication during the year, on acconut of the large amount of preliminary work necessary in the way of arrangement and classification. Mr. Knowlton has, however, published five ])apers relating to paleobotany, and in them one new genus and seven new species are described. The number of specimens received during the year, so far as they can be counted, is upward of G,642, not including the Lacoe collection of 44 boxes, and the collection of bones of Zeuglodon. The last entries in the several catalogues of the department for the fiscal years 1893-94 and 1894-95 are as follows: 1893-94. I 1894-95. Number ofentries.

The Department of Agriculture was, as already stated, asked to assume this responsibility. It consented, with the under- standing that the appointment of the botanist to be placed in charge should be approved by the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, that the collections should be accessible to the public for practical or educational purposes, and also accessible to the Institution for scien- tific investigation. It was further agreed that full credit be given to the Institution in the publications of the Department for the deposit of the original specimens as well as for such additions as the Institution might make from time to time. The following agreement was formally signed by the Commissioner of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution: First. All the botanical specimens in the possession of the Smithsonian Institution, about 20,000, and all that may hereafter be collected by it, shall Ije transferred to the Agricultural Department on the following terms: 1. That a competent botanist, a^iproved by the Institution, shall be appointed to have charge of the collection. 2. That the collection shall, at all times, be accessible to the }inblic lor educational purposes and to the Institution for scientific investigation, or for supplying any information in regard to plants that correspondents may ask for. 3. That due credit be given to the Institution in the report of the Agricultural Department for the original deposit and for such additions as may be made to it, from time to time, by the Institution. Second. That the Agricultural Department shall transfer to the Smithsonian Insti- tution any specimens it may now have, or may hereafter obtain, that are not ueces- sary to illustrate agricultural ecouomy, such as those of ethnology and of various branches of natural history, similar credit to be given in this case as required in the former. The transfer was made in 1869, and the conditions were fulfilled. Dr. Parry was appointed botanist, and at once commenced a systematic arrangement of the Herbarium. He found the number of species to be about 15,000, included in 155,000 specimens. The most valuable portions of the Herbarium thus transmitted by the Smithsonian Institution to the Department of Agriculture were: 1. The plants collected by the exploring expedition under Admiral Wilkes (1838-1842). The botanists of this expedition were Mr. William Rich, Dr. Charles Pickering, and Mr. W. I. D. Brackenridge. 2.

Heibaiiuni, also plants from British America, Japan, Mautcliuria, China, Sandwich Islands, Mexico, Jamaica, Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, and Para- guay; also from Hungary, Illyria, and other parts of Europe. Collec- tions were also received from the Imperial Academy of Science at St. Petersburg and from the Imperial Botanic Carden. During the twenty-six years following tlie transfer, up to the year 1894, many large and valuable accessions have been added, a. large proportion of which was received by the Department of Agriculture. The Herbarium now contains not less than 275,000 specimens. The fact that the Herbarium was not housed in a fireproof building has been the occasion of criticism, and during the session of ther)0tan- ical Congress in Madison, Wis.,^ this subject was discussed and the tbllowing I'esolutions drafted: Whereas the Natioual Herbarium, with all its wealth of specimens of inestimable value, is at preseut deposited iu a buildiug which from its construction and use is peculiarly liable to destruction by fire; and Whereas such destruction would be an irreparalde loss to tlic science ot botany; therefore, be it Besolred, That we, the members of the Madison Botanical Con<>;ress, hereby appeal to the Senators and Representatives of the National Congress to make early provision for a suitable fireproof building for the preservation of this scientilic treasure, and we would respecti'ully request the Secretary of Agriculture to urge upon Congress the desirability of prompt action iu this matter. Actuated, no doubt, in part by the sense of responsibility involved, the Assistant Secretary of Agriculture in a letter, having the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture, dated July 24, 1894, and addressed to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, after recognizing the Institution as the lawful custodian of the scientific collections of the Government, requested the transfer of the Herbarium to the immediate custody of the Institution. To this the Institution assented, in a letter dated July 28, 1894, signed by the Acting Secretary. A third letter, addiessed by the Secretary of Agriculture to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, dated August 16, 1894, directed the transfer of the Herbarium. The actual removal of the collection was effected in Sei»tember, 1894. Mr. Frederick V.Coville, botanist of the De])artment of Agriculture, has succeeded Dr. (leorge A^asey as honorary curator of the depart- ment of Itotany, and in this capacity is in charge of the National Herbarium. Dr. J. IST. Rose, of the Departmen.t of Agriculture, has been appointed assistant curator. The correspondence above referred to is here i)resented: J'lioM TMK ASSISTANT SECUETARV OF AGKICULTtTRE. July. 24, 1894. Siu: The Smithsonian Institution, as we understand it, is designated by law the custodian of all of the scientilic collections of the Government. This Department has already transferred many collections, parts of collections, and specimens to the care of your Institution, and will, it is hoped, continue to do so from time to time. • August 23, 189.'5 REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 77 Tbf collection of plants known as the National Herbarium has been left in the immediate charge of this Department, the expense of its care, maintenance, and extension being annually provided for in our appropriations This collection is, we are informed, a very valuable one, especially since it con- tains a great number of "typo sp(^cimens'' from th(> Fremont, Wilkes, and othei expeditions, and deserves to 1)0 housed and cared for m the most reliable and effi- cient manner. It is at present located in the otTfices of the division of botany in the main building of the Department of Agriculture. As is well known, tins building is not fireproof, and is considered to be unsafe for other reasons I write, therefore, with the approval of the Honorable Secretary, to ask the Smith- sonian Institution to provide a place for this collection. Being desirous ot relief from further responsibility for tlio safety of this collection, which is connected only in part with the work under our charge, we feel that we have a right to make this reciuest of your Institution. Since the botanist of the Department of Agriculture is also curator of the Her- barium, and since an assistant curator and several clerks and laborers are provided to work on it, this Department would expect to continue, through these legally appointed officers, to do all necessary work upon the herbarium, and must, for this purpose, have full access to it. In addition to the space re(iuired for the Herbarium proper, several rooms will be required for the accommodation of these workers and some storage space for duj)!!- cate specimens. The details of these matters will be explained by the botanist. This Department would expect to have the privilege of removing to its building from time to time any portion of the Herbarium that may be re(imred for study in connection with its work. The working collection of fungi in the division of vege- table pathology and the collections of the division of forestry, having been made independently of the Herbarium and its appropriations, are not considered a part of it and are not offered for transfer at this time. The grass collection of the Her- barium will also be needed at this Department for the present. If desired, the cases and like furniture can be transferred with the collection. Respectfully yours, CiiAS. W. Dabnky, Jr., Assistant Secretary. The Secretauv, Smithsonian Institction, Wash hig toil, D.C. FROM THE A( ting SECRETAKY OF THE .SAIITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. July 28, 189!. Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of July 24, asking the Smith.sonian Institution to relieve the Department of Agriculture from the responsibility for the safety of the collections of plants known as the National Herbarium, by providing a place for it in a fireproof building. I appreciate fully the value of the National Herbarium, and although all the build- ings under the charge of the Institution are already overcrowded, I find that it is possible, by still further condensing, to assign to the collections of plants which you oiler to transfer, together with those already here, a space on one of the balconies in the new Museum building with the adjoining laboratory rooms, which, though inadequate for its proper reception will, in a certain way, meet the necessities of the case, and which has at least the recommendation of being free Iroin the danger of fire. If the ca es and other furniture referred to in your letter can be transferred to the Museum, I see no reason why the plants may not be received at any time that may suit the convenience of the Department. I understand it to be your purpose that the botanist of the Department of Agri- culture shall retain the position of honorary curator of the botauical collections iu 7,*S KKFOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. the Natioual Museum, which he now hohls by courtesy of the Department of Agri- culture and bycomm'ssion from the Secretary of tlie Smithsonian Institution. This is very aiceiitable, as is also your proposition that certain other employees of the Department of Agriculture shall continue to work ui»on the herbarium under his direction. While the Institution is prepared to iirovide a safe place for the herbarium and preserve it from deterioration, it can not at present assume any expense i'or maintaining and enlarging it. I speak of this for the purpose of emphasizing the fact that if the herbarium is to fulfill its function of continued usefulness to the Department of Agriculture, it will be necessary that the Department shall contribute to its maintenance as in the past. In order to render this possible, the work-rooms already referred to will be available to accommodate the persons engaged in this work under the dii-ection of the botanist. Every facility will be aftorded to the Department for the use not only of the Her- barium to be transferred, but of all the other botanical material and collections la the Museum, together with the extensive botanical library belonging to the Institu- tion. Portions of the collection of plants may be withdrawn for study upon the request of the botanist of the Department of Agriculture, so far as is consistent with their safe-keeping and proper use. I note what you say in regard to the collections in the divisions of vegetable pathol- ogy and forestry, aud have no comment to offer. Tiie situntiou is, however, differ- ent in regard to the gxasses, for, since they constitute part of the herbarium proper, and a considerable portion of them have been deposited with the Department of Agriculture by the Smithsonian, it seems to me that this fact should be recognized, and that the custody of the grasses should be transferred to the Institution with the rest of the herbarium, although, in accordance with the terms of the agreement just stated, it is proper that as much of this collection should be retained at the Depart- ment as is needed for the work in progress. I would suggest, however, that a full series of the grasses be sent to our fireproof building as soon as practicable, so that in case of fire a portion of this valuabh^ collection may be saved. If, when you are ready to make the transfer, you will, as you suggest, request Mr. Coville to confer with me, I will do all in my power to have the new space arranged so as to provide in the best way for the interests of the work. Yours very respectfully, G. Brown Gooue, Acting Si'ection and the exhibition series returned from the Chicago Exposition, which had been filed away for future use. A great many of these were also designated to be sent to Atlanta. The series actually displayed is exhibited under two motives — the first that of technology, the second that of ethnology. Wherever the material is sufficiently abundant, and from a great number of localities, the whole of man- kind are considered to be of one sj^ecies, and all objects belonging to a certain class are assembled and arranged for the purpose of showing their historical elaboration and their geographic distribution. This is called the technographic series. How- ever, where there is a large mass of material of great variety from many peoples and not exclusively collected from any one, the speciuieus are displayed at present iu 84 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. etlinograpliic groups and arranged around the hall. There are sections devoted to Negroid Africa, Caucasian peoples in Africa and Asia, the peoples of eastern Asia, including Siam, Burma, Japan, Korea, Thibet, and the Ural-alta group. This arrangement enables the curator to place before the x>ublic, at least in its proper national and geographic connection, desultory material from all parts of the world. As regards the American collection, a great change has been proposed—to set apart- the northwest range for the continent of America, a special exhibit to be made of the Pueblo region iu the northwest court. This plan has only been jjurtly carried out. The curator lias made a special study during: the year of i^rimitive methods of travel and transportation, and a paper by him on this sub- ject is printed in the Report for 1894. Material in the Museum has been lent for study to Mr. Stewart Culin, director of the Museum of Archiieology and Paleontology, University of Pennsylvania; to Dr. W. J. Hoffman in connection with his studies of the j)ictographic work of the Eskimo, and to Mr. J. D. McGuirc in connection with his investigations of stoneworking among savage peoples. The use of the drill has been thoroughly studied by Mr. McGuire, and the results are embodied in a very interesting paper published in the Report for last year. Dr. Boas has prosecuted an extended study of the Indians of the Northwest Coast, and a valuable paper by him upon this subject is included iu this volume. The curator has published seven papers during the year, including a study of "North American Bows, Arrows, and Quivers" (printed in the Ifeport of the Smithsonian Institution for 1893). Mr. Walter Hough, assistant curator, prepared a catalogue of the ethnologica) exhibit dis- l)layed by the National Museum at the Columbian Historical Exposition in Madrid, and also a descriptive report upon the ancient Central and South American pottery exhibited in Madrid on that occasion. Alluding to the special plans which he has in view, the curator makes the following statement: The curator commenced at the end of the fiscal year to make a classified catalogue of every ethnological specimen in the collection, vitb regard to its function, mate- rial, and its location, for the purpose of indicating geographically the poverty of the department, especially with reference to American material. For instance, all the stocks of the American race, from Point Barrow to Cape Horn, are arranged alpha- Itetically and in the order of their location. It is proposed to have a separate sheet or column connected with these stocks as they occur, devoted to each of the great typical industries, activities, or apparatus, and to indicate upon these sheets or in these colunnis Avhether or not each stock has in use this method or apparatus. As soon as- this chart is made out, it can be easily ascertained whether any tribe possesses this or that art, and if the materials and tools connected with the art are not iu the National Museum, it will indicate an intelligent line along which collections ought to be made. The curator hopes to devote a great deal of attention to this special research dur- ing the next year and to utilize the resources of the establishment, with the consent and assistance of the Director, for the purpose of perfecting the series for America. There have been 1,270 entries made during the year in volumes 35 and 37 of tlie catalogue of the department. In volume 35 the entries run from 16885.3 to 1<;9339, and in volume 37 from 17442G to 175221. The number of specimens received was 2,012. REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 85 DEPARTMENT OF PREHISTORIC ANTHROPOLOGY. In bis annual report the curator, Dr. Thomas Wilson, remarks that the operations of this year have exceeded those of all previous years in the number and extent of the accessions as well as in their scientific vahie. The most important addition, although not a permanent gift, was the extensive collection of Dr. Roland Steiner, of Grovetown, Ga. It consists of 32,478 specimens from the Etowah mounds and from Burke and Columbia counties, Ga. The value of this collection consists chieiiy in the opportunity which it affords for a study of the industries of the aborigines as manifested in their dwellings, burial places, imple- ments, and utensils. The Nicaraguan Government contributed a valu- able collection of pottery and stone objects from the exhibit of that Eepublic at the Madrid Exi^osition. Mr. John C. Meyer, of Eound Top, Fayette County, Tex., presented a large series of rude chipped imple- ments and other objects, including three chipped imx)lements of jasper. Eleven large pottery vases from Argentina were received from the La Plata Museum, through the courtesy of Dr. F. P. Moreno. In addi- tion, the curator makes special mention ot several other accessions, all of which are included in the Accession List (Appendix ii). Several important changes having become desirable in the arrange- ment of the entire collection, the curator has devoted himself assiduously to this work, and the operations incident to the arrangement are indicated in his own words: In order to effect this task, it was necessary to rearrange, geographically, all the objects in 52 cases, according to the various States of the United .States and of foreign countries; also to rearrange the objects made by or Ijelonging to prehistoric man, contained in 12 cases. The latter have been arranged in two synoptical series — chronological and geographical— one representing Europe, Asia, and Africa, and the other North America. The objects from Mexico, the "West Indies, Central America, and South America were installed in wall cases on the north and west sides of the hall. All of the Pacific Coast objects were segregated and installed in cases by themselves, and the mummies were placed in the long wall cases on the south side of the hall. Two new shelves have been made for each alcove case and 900 specimens of mound pottery placed thereon. The very large specimens were placed above the alcove cases, fronting the aisles, thus giving them a decorative, as well as utilitarian, effect. The prehistoric pottery has been transferred from the Museum building, and the large glass cases of pottery from Pern, Brazil, and from the Arkansas mounds have been installed in the foyer of the hall. A large case containing a group of Indian figures, representing a quarry workshop (?) from Piney Branch, District of Columbia, has also been set up. A number of paintings, drawings, lithographs, and photographs of prehistoric objects have been placed on the walls above the cases. These included a large painting representing the ruins of Spruce Tree House, Mancos Canyon, Colorado, Major Powell's map of the linguistic stocks of North America, and a chronological map adapted to show the distribution of aboriginal mound dis- tricts in the United States. Two hundred and forty drawers were constructed and placed in eight sloping-top table cases with frosted glass doors. This work was completed March 19, and since that time the drawers have been utilized for the storage of some 3,500 objects belonging to the collection. The exhibition series is now so installed that every object can be plainly seen. Labels have been attached to many of the specimens. 86 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. The curator lias commenced a study of prehistoric pipes aud smoking apparatus, and of aboriginal musical instruments. lie has also con- tinued special investigations of paleolithic implements, rude notched axes, prehistoric copper, jade and cache implements, and prehistoric Etruscan objects. A paper by the curator on the history of the sign of the Swastika has been completed and is printed in the Report for 181)4, Various other objects connected with the existence of prehistoric man in North America have also engaged special attention. On two occasions specimens from this department were lent for use in illustrating lectures. The pupils of several schools in the city have visited the exhibition hall and received instruction from the curator as to the scope aud aims of the exhibit. Eight papers by the curator, relating chiefly to matters pertaining to his department, have been published during the year. The following remarks, bearing upon the special plans which the curator has in view for tlie future development of the department, are quoted from his anniuvl report: The coUectioos in this departuieut have now increased to 203,520 objects. The benefit to science of such a collection is by enabling the archa!ologist and anthro- pologist to write a history of prehistoric man. In ethnological collections and objects relating to primitive jjeoples of modern times, the study of the people's habits and customs, and the writing of tbeir history, can be done by the historian personally visiting the tribes and obtaining his information at iirst hand. Hut in collections relating to prehistoric peoples this can not bo done, and we are driven to a study of the implements, objects, monuments, etc., left by them. The student, historian, arclucologist, and anthropologist compare these objects (1) with each other, in localities where they have been associated together; (2) with implements Irom other localities; (3) he compares oue locality with another, and (4) all of them together with each other—that is, he first establishes, as well as he is able, a nnit of civilization or culture within a given tribe, group, or family; then, by extending his observations, be establishes other units of culture or civilization in other tribes, groups, or families, and these units he respectively compares together, first in a general way, aud second, in the details of the implements and objects which go to make them up. I propose to make from the specimens in my department such a segregation by localities; a division, if possible, by time; also an establishment of units of civili- zalion, and thus make the comparison mentioned, or, rather, afford material for stu- dents either now or hereafter to make this comparison of civilizations. This will re(iiiire the s(!rvices of a draftsman. As no person can by mere words describe the form of an object, and as the differences of form are, or may be, but slight, aud yet mean much, there is greater necessity for graphic delineation than there would oth- erwise be. The objects have all been made by hand; there never was any special pattern for the workman to follow; each man, to a large extent, made every kind of object, so the differences become more important and the necessity for drawing greater than it would be under other circumstances. It would not be true to say there were no type specimens of the objects made by the aboriginal man, because if he made each one by hazai'd, as there are a hundred times more implements than styles, some of them must pattern after the others, and thus some implements have come to be considered types. But this, I thiuk, is entirely arbitrary, aud is the decision of the modern student rather than the action or intention of the aboriginal workman. In the endeavor to discover his intention, it is necessary to make draw- ings enough of the implements to show these types and the dift'erences in their details. REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 87 During the year OGO specimens were distributed, principally in exchange. Many persons who come into possession of stone imple- ments and are anxious to learn something of their siguificance send them to the Museum for examination. In 1805 there were received for this purpose ;>8 lots, aggregating 552 specimens. Eeports are invaria- bly transmitted to the senders as soon as the specimens have been examined, and in most instances the latter are returned. The last catalogue entry in June, 1894, was 109510, and in June, 1895, 172315. DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND INDUSTRIES. At the time when the department of ethnology was established in the National Museum, there were large accumulations of ethnological objects from various sources which could not be regarded as purely ethnic material, not being specially connected with or illustrative of special tribes of men, but which rather formed parts of series of arts scattered over the entire earth. Such arts might be regarded as folk inventions and as illustrating a part of the great scheme of human invention. It was necessary to tind a place for these objects, and sev- eral special groups, among which they might be properly distributed, were established. These formed what has since been known as the " Department of Arts and Industries." Thus the sections of foods, tex- tiles, fisheries, naval architecture, travel and transportation, the medi- cines of all peo])les, music, and several others, came into existence. In them the objects are arranged under different classes of types, accord- ing to their structure, and in each class the objects are further arranged according to a system of historic development and elaboration. The Museum records now show that 14 sections have been organized, although some of these are still without custodians. These are: (1) Naval architecture; (2) transportation; (3) textiles; (4) foods and chemicals; (5) fisheries; (<>) animal products; (7) graphic arts; (8) histor- ical collections, coins, and medals; (9) physical apparatus; (10) musical instruments; (11) x>orcelains and bronzes; (12) materia medica; (13) forestry; (14) oriental antiquities and religious ceremoinal objects. Technological collections.—The first four sections in the enumeration above have been placed in charge of Mr. J. Elfreth Watkins, who, on February 1, 1895, was designated " Curator of the technological collec- tions." To these, other sections will be added as occasion and oppor- tunity may arise. The development of these collections will be slow, inasmuch as objects which were used by man in the foundation of many of the arts are very difiScult to obtain. Again, the bulkiuess of many objects which would be most desirable, would render them, even if obtainable, too cumbersome for installation, nor could space be assigned for the installation of such relics, owing to the already crowded condi- tion of the Museum halls. In cases where large objects can be repre- sented by models, the curator suggests the construction of small models, varying from one-fifth to one- tenth natural size where it is desired to 88 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. show tlie details of machinery, and from one-twentieth to one-fiftieth where only form and general proportions need to be considered, as in the case of buildings, ships, etc. Scale drawings, photographs, or other representations of objects illustrating the earlier steps in the epoch-making arts, would be desirable. From them small models can be made. These, accompanied by labels containing sketches iu outline, explaining graphically such details as are precluded by the limitations of a small model, may be made the means of illustrating the history of the beginnings of the more important American industrial arts. Such a scheme might at first be thought to duplicate to a certain extent the work of the Patent Office in that direction. It will be remembered, however, that the records of that ofiice contain only such documents and models as have been presented for examination and adjudication by j)ersons mainly interested in drawing up claims. This would not interfere with a presentation of the most important epoch-making inventions, such as Henry's electromagnetic sound telegraph. The curator will endeavor to extend the series illustrating the begin- nings of the steamboat. By the addition of a few models to the pres- ent collection, the Museum would have a very satisfactory exhibit. He also has in view the preparation of a case containing models illustrat- ing presses and machinery relating to the early steps in the art of printing and paper making. During the present fiscal year few objects of special importance were received. Among the most interesting were several pieces of appara- tus used by Prof. Joseph Henry in his investigations of electromaguet- isiu, which led to the invention of the magnetic telegraph. These had for many years been preserved in the Smithsonian building, but have now been placed on exhibition with other pieces of apparatus used by Professor Henry and deposited in the Museum by his daughters. A special case is devoted to peri)eruating the history of the imi)ortaut discoveries in electricity which he made. A model of his first electro- magnetic sound telegraph apparatus, made by John Schultzbach, of Washington, under Mr. Watkins's supervision, has been added to the collection, and other models, prepared for exhibition at the Atlanta Exposition, will be installed in the Museum at its close. The curator has not yet had an opportunity to rearrange the collection of models of vessels. Oapt. J. W. Collins, who was formerly in charge of this col- lection, has, since his resignation, been employed by the ]\Iuseum to prepare a full descriptive catalogue which will serve as a history of naval architecture as illustrated by the models and other objects in the Museum. This work was commenced on April 1. With a view to maturing plans for a systematic rearrangement, a model of the exhibi- tion hall devoted to naval architecture has been made, and also rough models of all the boats suspended from the roof. The work of rear- rangement will be advanced as soon as the necessary sup[)orts are iu l)lace. Many of the boats were taken down, cleaned, and measured REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 89 preparatory to their heiug described by Captain Collius in the cata- logue ah^eady alhided to. On account of the limited space available for purposes of exhibition, the collections showing- the various stages of development in the sewing machine and the typewriting machine, have been i)laced in storage. Mr. Watkius has devoted considerable study to the evolution of the various methods of transportation, and, referring to this subject in his annual report, he says: During such time as was not consumed bj^ other duties during April, May, and June, 1895, 1 coutiuued the investigations (whicli I have been engaged in for several years) of the circumstances which led to the final improvement in the wheel and the other mechanical devices which have tendered the aTtainmeut of high speeds possible in the art of transportation on land and water, which have proven such an important factor in modern civilization. The results of these investigations are embodied in the models prepared for the Atlanta Exposition, the drawings for which, together with the superintendence of their construction and the preparation of labels, have consumed much time. Each of the labels for the models illustrating laud conveyance contains, in addition to a brief printed description, a small sketch whicli gives more information at a glance than could be conveyed to the average museum visitor by many printed words. It is my belief that this same idea, extended and modified by the duplication of these sketches by some photomechanical jn-o- cess, may be made extremely useful, not only in connection with museum specimens on exhibition, but for permanent record in catalogues and elsewhere. A series of these illustrated labels, properly arranged, can with a few additions be made to form an illustrated handbook of the collection. It is proper to make special mention of the assistance rendered by Dr. Francis B. Stevens, of Hoboken, N", J., whose aid in preparing the drawings for the machinery of the models illustrating the early history of the steamboat has been invaluable. lu this connection Mr. Watkins adds: Dr. Stevens, a distinguished engineer, now in the eighty-third year of his age, has acquired by observation and practice a fund of information concerning early mechanical history in America of the greatest imjiortance. To have been able to act as the medium for preserving this history through the collections in the U. S. National Museum, I regard as a great privilege. The help extended by Mr. George C. Maynard in obtaining for the Museum relics and other objects desirable for the collections is also very highly appreciated. Mr. Maynard is associated with several societies which were organized for the purpose of preserving the history of elec- trical and mechanical inventions in general. In the general catalogue only six entries have been made during the year, the last number being 11H2()0. The objects pertaining to naval architecture are entered in a separate catalogue book, which is now, as above indicated, being prepared bj- Captain Collins. Other books are kept for the entry of accessions to the collections of textiles, foods, and chemicals. The (jraphic artu collection.—The absence of the curator in Europe (luring the last halfof the tiscal year (January to June) has curtailed the operations of the department, and the following remarks have reference 90 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. therefore to what was accomplished duriug the first six months of the year (July 1 to December 31, 1804). The principal contributors of specimens were Mr. N. S. Amstutz, Cleveland, Ohio; Mr. J. M. Falconer, Brooklyn, N.Y.; Mr. J. W.Osborne, Washington, D. C. ; the United States (reological Survey, and Mr. W. W. Wallingford, Washington, D. C. The entry of the accessions took up 61 catalogue numbers (5501-5561). The most interestiug of these are 44 specimens illustrating the transmission of photographs bj"- means of electricity. They were contributed by Mr. N. S. A mstutz, the inventor of the i^rocess. A photomechanical color-print was purchased from the United States Aluminum Printing Plate Company, New York, and a book containing chromolithjgraphs was obtained in exchange. The duplicates, which are not included in the above total, have been sepa- rated. A catalogue of the specimens on exhibition has been prepared, and also a card catalogue of the whole collection. This is arranged by technical divisions, preliminary to a more systematic arraugement later on. Materia medica.—This collection is again under the charge of Dr. James M. Flint, U. S. N., who resumed his connection with the Museum May 24, 1895. For several years the collection has been practically complete, and little remains to be done except to replace specimens from time to time with fresh material and to substitute new labels for old. Only five specimens were received during the year. These were recorded under catalogue numbers 142309 to 142313, which is the last entry of the year. The historical collections.—There is a continually increasing interest shown in objects relating to the history of the United States during the colonial and Revolutionary periods. If sufficient exhibition space were available, the material already on hand would permit a very interesting and fairly complete exhibit in these directions, but unfortunately it is impossible under tlie circumstances to provide room for more than a limited number of objects, consisting chiefly of personal relics of illustrious statesmen and soldiers. The most interesting addition to the collections during the year con- sists of a number of utensils and objects of wearing apparel used in New England during colonial times. They illustrate in a very satisfac- tory manner the customs and costumes of the seventeenth and eight- eenth centuries. The donor is Mr. John B. Cop]), Old Mystic, Conn. Among other accessions are: A sword belt presented to Admiral S. D. Trenchard by the Government of Great Britain for his services in res- cuing the officers and crew of the British bark Adieu off Cape Ann, Massachusetts, in August, 1850; an old Si)anish sword of the kind used by the Conquistadores in Santo Domingo; a sword from Puerto Rico bearing the date 1790; early Spanish .spurs from Argentina and San Domingo; a collection of early Spanish Mexican copper and silver coins; a cabinet containing 102 plaster casts of historic medals and REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 91 cameos, presented by llev. Dr. L. T. Chamberlain; a waistcoat supposed to have beh)nged to Gen. George Washington, deposited by Mrs. J. A, Kodgers, South Bethlehem, Pa.; a canteen carried through the Revolu- tionary war by John Paulding, one of the captors of Major Andre, deposited by Gen. R. W. Meade; a collection of South Carolina colo- nial paper money, and another of silver, nickel, and copper coins of Mexico, Danish West Indies, Great Britain, and Switzerland, received from Mr. A. W.Carey, Adrian, Mich.; a sword and epaulets worn by Capt. Seth Britt Thornton, U. S. A., at Contreras during the last attack on the City of Mexico ; decorations and papers of the late Joseph Smolinski, commander of the Imperial Ottoman (Jrder of the Medjidish, Chevalier of the Polisli Military Cross, etc., deposited by his son Joseph Smolinski, of Washington, D. C, and a model of the Behaim globe, the original of which was made at ]!^uremburg in 1487. In all, -Jl*8 specimens were added to the collection during the year. Collection of musical instruments.—For reasons explained in previous reports, no attempt has yet been made to permanently install this col- lection, which is now one of the largest in the world. A considerable number of instruments were obtained from several foreign exhibits at the World's Columbian Exposition, and these have been catalogued and either installed in the long wall cases on the east and west sides of the north hall or have been placed in storage. No accessions of special value have been received during the year. Mention may be made, however, of "1 instruments from Ceylon and 5 from Johore, Malay Peninsula, inircbased from the Field Columbian Museum; a native lyre from Congo, Africa, received from Mr. J. H. Camp ; a Japanese vertical flute, a transverse flute, and a double whistle from Mr. Simon A. Stern, of Philadelphia, Pa,; a vertical flute from New Hebrides, a horn from Friesland, Holland, a virginal made in 1(>02 and a Broadwood piano, from Mrs. J. Crosby Brown; a wooden bell, or logo, from Mr. H. J. Moors, of Apia, Samoa; a flageolet and an oboe from Tibet, presented by Dr. W. L. Abbott; a guirro (a sort of whistle), from Puerto Rico, and a tiple (a small guitar), from the same locality, presented by Mrs. Charles B. Smith, of Washington, D. C. The collections of oriental antiquities and religious ceremonial objects.— These collections are the outgrowth of the establisliment of a section of the department of arts and industries in 1888, under the honorary curatorship of Dr. Paul Haupt, of the Johns Hopkins University, for the accumulation and preservation of objects illustrating oriental anti- (j^uities and ceremonials connected with religious worship of all kinds. Dr. Cyrus Adler, librarian of the Smithsonian Institution, is in charge of these collections, and under his immediate care they have been arranged. They now occupy four alcoves in the east and west halls, near the rotunda. The north alcove in the east hall contains the Egyptian col- lections, arranged in eight cases. The Assyro-Babylonian collections are in the south alcove in the same hall, also arranged in eight cases. 92 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1«95. In the north alcove of the west hall are the Jewish, Mohammedan, and Gra^co-Eomaii religious collections, while in the south alcove, op])osite, are arranged the religious objects relating to Brahmanism, Buddhism, and Shiiitoisin. The principal additions during the year were a Siamese edition of the sacred writings of the Southern Buddhists, presented by the King of Siam; the liturgy of the Bene Israel of Bombay in the Maratha lan- guage, presented by Eev. Henry Cohen, Galveston, Tex., and a Jap- anese temple drum, deposited by Dr. G. Brown Goode. The Museum is also indebted to Mr. E. Dorsey Mohun, United States consul at Zan- zibar, for copies of the Korau, a Koran stand, and prayer mats, and to Eev. Henry Cchen for four volumes of Jewish liturgy. Casts of the Temple stone, Siloam inscription, and twelve Assyrian seals were sent to Eev. C. C. Newton, Tokyo, Japan, in exclmngp for Buddhistic and Shinto objects. Much progress has been made in the installation of the objects now on exhibition. This matter is referred to more in detail in the chapter entitled "The development and arrangement of the exhibition series." All of the collections not on exhibition have been rearranged and put in storage cases. The molds and casts have been placed in the base- ment of the Smithsonian building, where they are safe and easily accessible. Dr. Adler has commenced a study of Jewish ceremonial institutions. He has also continued his study of ancient oriental seals, and in this work has had the opportunity of examining a large collection of seals belonging to Dr. Frederick Stearns, of Detroit, Mich. Casts were made of 82 of these specimens. He has also completed a paper on the "Cot- ton Grotto near Jerusalem and ancient Methods of Quarrying." This is based partly on objects which he has presented to the Museum. It is Dr. Adler's desire to gather a collection of Hittite casts and a series of amulets. During the year 171 specimens were received. The entries in the catalogue were contained between numbers 15481G and 1541)90. IV.—REVIEV;^ OF \A^ORK IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENTS. FINANCE, PROPERTY, SUPPJ.IES, AND ACCOUNTS. Mr. W. V. Cox, chief clerk, presents, in his annual rei)ort, a detailed statement showing the amount of the appropriations for the fiscal year ending- June 30, 18115, and the disbursements thereunder; also the dis- position of the unexpended balances remaining on hand from the appropriations of previous years. These statements are printed in Ai)i)endix vin. The work pertaining to the accounts connected with the disburse- ment of the funds allotted to the National Museum, for an exhibit at the Cotton States and International Exposition at Atlanta, has entailed considerable extra work upon the force of this office during the present year. This work, however, as well as the preparation of orders for materials and labor, has been i^erformed without any additional help. In the early part of the fiscal year steps were taken with a view to bringing suit against persons who declined to enter into contracts which had been awarded them for furnishing supjilies, etc The opinion of the Attorney-General was sought, and although the Smithsonian Institution has not up to this time been recognized as being entitled to this privilege, the action taken resulted in suits being brought against the defaulters by the Department of Justice. A board was apitointed August 13, 1894, to examine and report upon the safety of the alcohol and alcoholic si>ecimens stored in the base- n)entof the Smithsonian building. Additional safeguards were recom mended, and these have been provided. A new telephone service, with metallic circuits and long-distance instruments, was installed during the year, and although the service is much improved, the annual rental charged is less than that formerly paid. The chief clerk states that the rules adopted last year for the govern- ment of the watch force have been adhered to, and that as a result the force has been brought to a higher state of efficiency. The committee appointed to consider the subject of an improved sys- tem of locks for the Museum cases, submitted its report at the close of the preceding fiscal year, and during the presentyear preliminary steps have been taken with a view to carrying out the recommendations made- 94 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. The quarters occupied tor storage liaviug beeu found too small for the purpose, a uew building was leased on the 15th of June of the ]>resent year, and the transfer made a short time thereafter. In February, 1895, an order was issued defining more particularly the duties of the engineer. The chief clerk makes a statement in his report regarding the records of his office, from w^hich the following is taken : The originals of all requisitions for purchases, etc., are bound into volumes of convenient size, for ready reference. A record is kept of all bills and vouchers for expenditures on account of appropriations, and every such bill or voucher has a reference to the number of the requisi- tion authorizing the expenditure. Applications for leaves of absence are filed in this office, and a record is kept of those granted, also of all matters pertaining to the personnel of the Museum, except applications for employment, which, after receiving proper action, are filed in the office of the Secretary. Ai)plications for the use of the lecture hall and the stereopticon are also duly recorded. The files of the office contain letters on all subjects pertaining to administrative and financial mat- ters. Letters and documents of all kinds are given a distinctive num- ber, and the letters are carefully indexed under the name of the writer and the subject, the card system being used. When two or more let- ters relate to one subject, they are given the same number and are filed together. It is intended eventually to enter upon the card catalogue all letters contained m the press-copy books, as well as those received and filed. One series of press-copy books contains letters relating to general Museum business, another contains letters pertaining to the })ersonnel of the Museum, and in still another series are copied letters addressed to the Secretary, transmitting vouchers for payment. There is in this office, also, a record of all legislative matters relating to the Museum, and complete sets of books of estimates, digests of laws, etc. DIVISION OF CORRESPONDENCE AND REPORTS. This branch of the administrative work remains under the charge of Mr. R. I. Geare. The force is practically the same as last year, although the occasions upon which it has been necessary to call upon this office for assistance in matters outside of its own work have beeu much more numerous than in any previous year. There has been an increase of over 1,000 in the number of letters and other official i^apers prepared for signature, compared with the preceding year. A special feature of the correspondence has been in the direction of obtaining accessions to the library of the National Museum. Special circular letters were prepared and invitations extended to the State universities, agricultural colleges, and experiment stations, as well as to a number of foreign institutions and S(;ientific societies, to exchange publications with the Museum or to complete partial sets already in the library. The result of the correspondence has beeu very grati- fying. REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 95 Circulars have been prepared for transmission to specialists receiving the Museum publications requesting tbem to send their own writings ill exchange, and at the same time inquiring whether our sendings are regularly received, whether they are properly directed, and whether the continuance of their transmission is desired. This information will be of value in revising the mailing lists. It lias been thought inadvisable to distribute the circular until it shall be determined beyond doubt what number of individuals and institutions can with certainty be retained upon the lists. This can not be definitely settled until it shall be seen whether Congress is willing to remove the restric- tion imposed in the printing act of January 12, 1895, limiting the edition of the Proceedings and Bulletiu to 1,000 copies, or one-third of the customary number. Among the numerous records kept in this division, those of greatest importance in connection with the work of theofiQce are as follows: Two card catalogues showing the course of letters received at the Museum—one, of letters coming to the Museum direct or by reference from some other department or bureau of the Government; the other, of letters referred to the Museum ])y the Smithsonian Institution. For the more important letters received from the Institution, a separate register is kept by numbers. In connection with the press-copying of official papers there are ten separate classes of books in constant use, besides several groups of books containing the correspondence relating to expositions, congresses, and other public functions in which the Museum has participated. In addition to the index which each book contains, a general index in the form of a card catalogue is kept. On each card or group of cards is summarized the entire correspondence with each individual or institu- tion. This catalogue, which is estimated to contain at least 35,000 cards, is one of the most valuable records of the office. On it the names of corresi)ondents, as well as of persons whose names occur in the cor- respondence, are arranged alphabetically. A supplementary catalogue of the names and addresses of foreign correspondents, arranged geo- graphically, is also preserved. A separate record is kept of the acknowledgments of material accjuired by the Museum, of reports upon objects sent to the Museum for identification, and of the transmission of material to institutions and to individuals for purposes of study; and, in addition, a record of the-transmission of material to specialists for determination, as well as of exchanges with museums in foreign countries and with individuals. The results of cooperation with the Museum in special directions, ou the i^art of the Executive Dej^artinents and bureaus of the Government, are also recorded. The accession catalogue contains the name and address of each contributor, together with a detailed statement of the nature of the material received, and other useful information, such as the date of entry, the number assigned, etc. The record of material sent to the 96 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. Museum for examination and report is similar in scope. These records are published each year in the Annual Report. During the present ye-'r a separate record has been kept of material received for exhibition at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta. The correspondence with educational institutions regarding the dis- tribution of collections forms the subject of a special catalogue. The cards in this catalogue are arranged alphabetically by States and sub- alphabetically by cities and towns. A short abstract is given of the contents of each communication received from applicants for collec tions, and also of each letter sent out from the Museum. All applica- tions for specimens are also entered in chronological order upon a separate register. The records relating to the distribution of Museum publications are quite voluminous. The mailing lists are classified as follows: (1) the list of domestic and foreign libraries which receive the Museum Reports, Proceedings, and Bulletins (embracing about 2,300 names); (2) tlie list of foreign correspondents receiving the Museum Report (embracing about 2,000 names), and (3) the lists of individuals and insti- tutions receiving publications upon one or more special sitbjects (embracing in all about 3,000 names). Card catalogues corresponding to these lists are preserved. Upon the catalogues corresponding to the first two is recorded, in convenient form, information regarding the relations of the Museum with the libraries and institutions listed. The lists referred to under the third heading consist of the names of the recipients of the Reports, Proceedings volumes, and Bulletins, and of separate papers from the Proceedings and Re]>orts; also of the names of specialists receiving papers upon one or more of a variety of subjects. Each list has its corresponding card catalogue. A separate record is kept showing to which lists each publication of the Museum has been distributed. In the case of publications sent in compliance with individual requests, the orders are copied in press-copy books kept for that purpose. Typewritten lists of the papers published in the Proceedings, arranged (1) by serial number, (2) alphabetically under the name of the author, and (3) according to subject matter, have been prepared, and are of great importance in responding to the requests of appli- cants for papers on various subjects. A separate list has also been prepared referring under (1) name of author, (2) subject, and (3) locality to all zoological, ])a]eontological, botanical, geological, and anthropological papers ])ublished by the Smithsonian Institution and its various branches. This is found very useful in connection with the Museum correspondence. All letters relating to Museum matters, with the exception of those bearing upon the finances and personnel of the Museum, are filed in this office, A series of special files, arranged separately, is also kept (i) for letters received from the various departments and bureaus of REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 97 t\n\ Govevmiient, (2) for letters received from officials of the Museum, (o) tor re])orts of the scientitic and administrative oCticers of tiie Museum, (4) for cross-references to letters from institutions and estai)- lishments, (5) for letters relating to explorations in the results of which the Museum expects to participate, IJy means of card catalogues are also recorded refereuces to all let- ters containing unaccepted offers to present, deposit, exchange, or sell si)ecimens to the Museum. This record has beeu found very useful in supplying mforuuition to curators who may at any future time be desirous of obtaining material which for some reason could not be accepted at the time it was offered. Jjistyibution of puhUcations.—The transmissions of publications to applicants making special request by letter have surpassed in number those of any preceding year, and it is safe to say that the regular and special sendings have aggregated upward of 35,000 publications, including volumes and sei)arate pai)ers. Much attention has been given to the revision of the mailing lists, llecordof the date of publication of each volume and pamphlet issued has beeu maintained, and is of frequent service for reference, as is also the catalogue record of lists of specialists to whom publications have been mailed. By direction of the Secretary of the Institution, a copy of each pub- lication, as soon as issued, is mailed to publishing houses representing the Institution as agents in London, Paris, Berlin, Leipsic, and Milan. The innovations mentioned in the report for the preceding fiscal year, especially regarding the distribution of publications «lirect from this office, have proved satisfactory. The regular distributions to the persons on the permanent lists are still nmde from the document room. The special sendings forwarded from this office are recorded on sli^is printed for the purpose, with the name of the ijerson or institution supplied, the address, the serial number of the publication, and the date of mailing. When the sending comprises both Smithsonian and Museum publications, the package is transmitted from the Smithsonian building, and a slip is filled out similarly to the above, with the addi- tion of the name of the person upon wdiose recommendation the send- ing is made. These slips are press-copied in books reserved exclusively for this purpose, and constitute a permanent record. More than 4,000 labels have been written in connection with the distribution of the Smithsonian allotment of the Museum Reports for 1801 and 1892 to institutions in the United States and abroad. The Museum Report for 1892, Bulletin 48, and Circulars 43, 44, 45, and 46 were issued during the year. Proceedings ]>apers Xos. 981-1031 were distributed in pamphlet form, and also advance sheets of Nos. 1040 and 1041. WAT MUS 95 7 98 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. REGISTKATION AND DISTRIIUTION. The data eouccrniiig these blanches of tlie administrative work are taken from the report of the registrar, Mr. S. C. Brown. There were received during the year 30,311 packages of all kinds, inclnding material for addition to the collections, i)nblications, and snj)- plies. These figures, as compared with those for the preceding year, show a decrease of about 19,000. This decrease is readily accounted for, however, when it is remembered that during the fiscal year 1893-04 the material returned from the World's Columbian Exposition was received and entered. There were 2,791 packages sent out, of which 094 contained s])ecimens transmitted to educational establishments as gifts, or sent to individuals or institutions in exchange, or for study. A few specimens returned to owners are also included in this number. The entries made on the incoming transportation record numbered 2,004, and on the outgoing transportation record, 719. The number of accessions or lots of material received was 1,22^, an increase of 02 over the record for the preceding year. There were 407 "temporary" accessions, consisting of material received for identifica- tion. An increase of over 12,000 is noted in the number of specimens distributed, the total for the year having been 39,230. The storage record shows that 354 packages were placed in storage, while 113 packages were withdrawn by the curators to whose depart- ments the material belonged. The storage rooms having become very mucli crowded, it was found necessary to make arrangements for addi- tional space, and in June, 1895, new quarters were secured, containing more than double the floor space and three times the cubic capacity of the quarters previously occupied. Of the collections transmitted to educational establishments during the year, a large proportion consisted of marine invertebrates, altUough many specimens of rocks and ores, and casts of prehistoric implements have been sent out, as well as a limited number of minerals and fishes. Lists of the si)ecimens contained in the collections which have been prepared for distribution since 1890 are printed in Ajipendix ix. A detailed statement, arranged geographically, showing to what indi- viduals and institutions specimens have been sent during the year, either in exchange, as gifts, or for study, is given in Appendix x. The number of lots of specimens sent out is here recorded: United States: Alabama 2 Arkansas 1 California 11 Colorado 2 Connecticut 4 District of Columbia 14 Georgia 3 Illinois 9 Indiana 3 United States : Iowa 17 Kansas 3 Kentucky 4 Maryland 5 Massachusetts 18 Michigan 3 Minnesota 1 IMississippi 1 Missouri 3 REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 99 United States: Moutauii 1 Nebraska 5 New Jersey 1 New York 21 North Dakota 3 Ohio 9 Oregon 1 Pennsylvania 26 1 2 1 2 2 1 6 Rhode Island.. .

BUILDINGS AND LABOR: POLICE AND PUBLIC COMFORT. The superintendent of buildings, Mr. Henry Horan, mentions in his annual report the more important features of the work accomplished during the year by the force under his charge. An abstract of tliis portion of his report is given in Appendix xi. Mr. Horan has also submitted a statement showing the number of cases, fixtures, etc., made, altered, or repaired, the amount of fuel, gas, and ice consumed, a list of articles lost and found in the Museum halls, lists of the tools in use in the various shops, and a table showing the number of feet of telephone and other electric wire installed. WORK OF THE MUSEUM PREPARATORS. TA.VIDEKMISTS. Mr. William Palmer, chief taxidermist, reports that the following mammals were mounted during* the year, but owing to pressure of other work were not en-tirely finished : A Texas hare, a marsh hare, an Angora 100 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. goat, a Japanese goat, two guinea pigs, and a few other small inaminaiS. A limited number of mounted si)ecimeus, includiug tlie head of a water buffalo, a paugoliu, a Hying squirrel, and a mole rat, were repaired and put on new stands. All mammals dying from the effects of confinement at the National Zoological Park are now received by the taxidermist and by him turned over to the osteological preparator or to the department of birds, rep- tiles, or mammals, as the case may be. The total number of nuimmals received in the flesh during the year was 84, nearly one-half having come from the Zoological Park, as will be seen from the following table: Mammals received in the flesli. Primates Carnivora Ungnlata ChiroiJtera . . . Rodentia Insectivora . Marsupialia. Total . . From tlio National Zoological Park. From other sourcea.

A model of the Tower of Babel was prepared by Mr. Joseph Palmer for exhibition at the Atlanta Exposition in connection with the exhibit of the de[)artment of oriental antiquities undcrthe direction of Dr. Cyrus Adler. He was also occupied in assisting in the preparation of lay figures and of exhibits of reptiles and birds. Casts were made of a collection of 318 Assyrian seals, transmitted by Dr. Frederick Stearns, of Detroit, Mich. A large number of casts of cetaceans were cleaned and repaired, and the contents of the rooms in the basement of the Smithsonian building in whu-h the molds are stored, were thoroughly overhauled. All of the tanks and pickled skins were removed from the shed near the Fish Conmiission building to one of the sheds south of the Smithsonian building. The location of the quarters rented for storage j^urposes and for workrooms was changed uear the close of the year. Mr. J. M. Stowell, of the Leland Stanford Junior University, and Mv. McElroy, of Washington, spent several weeks in the shops of the taxidermists, studying the methods of work. Mr. Henry Marshall taxidermist of the department of birds, cleaned and renovated about 4,000 specimens in the exhibition vseries during the year. He also skinned 225 alcoholic birds and dismounted about 150 specimens. Forty-two fresh specimens were skinned and about 50 specimens were mounted for the exhibition series. OSTEOLOGIST. The osteological work has consisted mainly in the preparation of material for the study series. Although a number of specimens have been prejiared for exhibitiou, it has been impossible, owing to pressure of other work, to mouut more than a small portion of them. The work of preparing a restoration of a skeleton of Zeuglodon for the Cotton States and International Exposition at Atlanta interfered greatly with the regular work of the osteologist. Three mouths of the time of Mr. J. W. Scollick were spent in developing portions of the skeleton on which the restoration was based. Eight hundred and eighty-one skulls were cleaned for the depart- ment of mammals, and a considerable amount of time was spent iu pre- paring specimens for the use of Professor Cope in connection with the preparation of a work on the reptilia of iSTorth America. 102 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895.

In this paper the genus Gnathodon, which, hitherto, has lield a very uncertain place in systematic clas.sification, is placed by the au- thor in the Mactridse, on account of the char- acters of both the shel) and the soft parts, and it is shown that the young shell is essentially raactroid. The synonymy of the species, notes, and descriptions are given. Synopsis of the Mactrid;e of North America.

Notes on the Miocene and Pliocene ofGay Head, Martha's Vineyard, Massa- chusetts, and on the ' ' Land Phosphate " of the Ashley River district, South Carolina. Am. Journ. Sci., XLVill, Oct., 1894, pp. 297-301. This paper enumerates for the first time the fossils of the Miocene beds of Marthas Vine- yard, and describes two new species. The Pliocene is recognized in the beds above the Miocene and a list of the species found in it is given. It is shown that the Ashley marls of South Carolina and the pbosphatic rock which overlies them are probably Miocene and not Eocene in age, as hitherto supposed. A list of species from the phosphate rock is given, which includes the characteristic Miocene type Ec2>hora quadricostata. Cruise of the steam yacht Wild Duck in the Bahamas, January to April, 1893, in charge of Alexander Agassiz. Notes on the shells collected. B^ill. Mus. Comp. Zool., xxv. No. 9, Oct., 1894, pp. 113-124, with plate. This paper consists of a set of notes on a small lot of material sent to the Smithsonian Institution some years ago by Dr. J. J. Brown, of Sheboygan, Wis., from "Watling Island, Bahamas; another small lot from the same place, collected by the U. S. Fish Commission, and a third lot collected by Dr. Alexander Agassiz. The lagoon species are pecuHarly thin, small in size, and, when colored, quite brilliant. Notes are given on 12 juarine and Ifi land species and varieties, of wliicli 5 are new. The genus Oerion (formerly called Stro- phia) is divided into subgenera founded on characters of the internal laniinaj. Description of a new species of Doridium from Puget Sound.

Mr. Dall shows that in those Gastropods which have plicate apertures the adductor muscle, which is attached to the columella, is placed deeper within the shell than in the non-plicate forms ; that in such cases the body of the ani- Tual covered with its mantle is compressed as it is being drawn into the shell and therefore longitudinal wrinkles are formed in themantle. The secreting surfaces deposit shelly material, which, in the folds, takes the form of ridges in the aperture of the shell. A new Chiton from California. Nautilus, vni, No. 8, Dec, 1894, pp. 90-91.

Wagner Free Inst. Sci., lu, pt. ni, Mar., 1895, pp. 483-570. The author in 1889, in a "Catalogue of the .shell-bearing mollusks of the southeastern United States, " proposed a new clas.siflcation of the Pelecypoda. This paper is an amplifi- cation of that work, bringing it down to the present date, but conforming to the general principles on which the eai'lier classification was founded. In this system the shell, the anatomy, the embryology, and evidence from all sources are considered and made use of. A brief dissertation on the shell, anatomy, and functions of the Pelecypoda is given. Then follows an enumeration of the orders, subor- ders, superfamilies, and families of the Pele- cypoda, each of which is differentially defined in a manner enabling a direct comparison to be made between groups of the same rank. Under each family is given its range in geo logical time and a list of the principal genera believed to be referable to it. Some notes on the principles of nomenclature applied in the work and an index to the genera are appended. The importance of this paper lies in the revi- sion of the diagnostic characters, which are endeavored to bo made strictly comparable in the different groups, and when common to a larger group are not repeated in the definitions of its subordinate divisions ; and in the bring- ing up to date of the data employed.

Petromyzon and Lamjietra are named as the longest established genera and their synonyms enumerated. The families Mordaciidai and Petromyzonidaj are defined and justified. An Australasian subfamily of fresh water Atheriuoid iishes. Am. Naturalist, xxvin. No. 332, Aug. 14, 1894, pp. 708-709. The genus Nem.atocentris should be called b'^ the prior name Mclanotcenia, iind the genus Aristeus of Castelnau (not Duvernoy) is re- named Rhombatractus. Both belong to a fresh- water Australasian subfamily newly named Melauotreniinfp, and are closelj' related. A new bassalian type of crabs [Re- troplumidre]. Am.

Nautilus, vni, No. 9, Jan. 1, 1895, pp. 102- 103. The name Onathodon had been used in ich- thyology earlier than conchology, and con- sequently its use is precluded in the latter department. Therefore the name Rangia, gen- erally used by recent conchologists, should be retained. The genus Leptophidium [renamed Lepophidium] . Am. NaturallH, xxix, No. 338, Feb., 1895, pp. 167-168. The name Lepttoplddium was used by Hal- lowell in I860, and consequently ippfo^'^'i'rfM'm of Gill (1863) should receive another name; Lepophidium is proposed. Pithecanthropus ercctns.

On the Torpedoes. Science (New series), I, No. 18, May 3, 1895, pp. 502-503. It was shown that the name Torpedo was first applied (by Forskal in 1775) as a generic term to the electric catfish of the Nile, subse- quently called Malapterurus, and that for the Torpedo rays Blainville's name, Narcobatus, must be revived. The genera of Branchiostomidse. Am. Naturalist, xxix. No. 341, May, 1895, pp. 457-459. The family of Branchiostomidae has five genera successively named Branchiostoma, Epigonichthyi, Asymetron, Paraiiiphioxus, and Amphioxides. Amphioxides is a new name proposed for Branchiostotna pelagicum. The term Actiiiomimes is proposed for the so-called rays of tlie Branchiostomids and the so-c.dled ventral fins are designated the Sympodium. The lowest of the vertebrates and their origin.

The object of this paper is to study the man- ufacture, the ethnographic, and the geographic distribution of all the types of bows, arrows, and quivers among the North American tribes. The plan lias been to treat these objects as specimens of natural history, and to consider their structure, function, and distribution on the line of environment and of evolution or elaboration, in a series of explanatory pages. Each separate piece is described as minutely as possible, so as to render the specimens in question types for future investigation. Overlaying with copper by the American aborigines. Proc. TJ. S.

Keferences are made To the publications upon this subject by the V. S. National Museum, and to the work accomplished by the U. S. Fish Commission and by British Naturalists in the Indi.an Ocean. The Torch-fish (iwiop/irj/ne lucifer) is figured, as are also five of the deep-sea fishes of India (after Alcock) viz: Neohythites steatiti- cus, Odontostomus atratus, Bathypercis jila- tyrhynchus, and Physiculus argyropastus. The seventeen-year Cicada and some of its allies. Popular Kcicnce News, xxvni. No. 10, New York, Oct., 1894, pp. 154-155, with fig ures. A somewhat extended account of the nat ural history of the Cicadid^e based upon per- sonal observations of the author, upon the col- lections in the Department of Entomology in the U. S. National Museum, and the writings of Eiley, Packard, Kirby, and others. Numerous figures are given of Cicada septendeciiti, C. firuinosa, and Thopha saccata of Australia. SHUFELDT, Robert W.—Continued, Figures of the eggs and metamorphoses of these insects are also presented, together with a drawing of the twig of a tree showing the peculiar puncturing done by Cicadas. On the affinities of the Stegano- podes : A correction. Proc. Zool. Sac. London, Nov. 6, 1894, p. 608. Makes a correction in the taxonomic sf'heme proposed by the author for the Steganopodes in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society for 1894, p. 160. As corrected, the author is of the opinion that the suborder Steganopodes is divisible into three superfamilies, viz, the Pelecanoidea, the Phaothontoidea, and the Fre- gatoidea. In the first snperfamily arc arrayed thofamiliesPelecanida3,Phalacrocoracid», An- hingidiT', and Sulida' ; in the second, thePhae- thontidic ; and in the last the Fregatida;. Pelicans. Popular Science News, xxvin. No. 11, New York, Nov., 1894, pp. 165-166. One fig- ure. This is a brief account of the natural history of several species of Pelicans and their allies in various parts of the world. Reference is also made to the mythical legends about the.se birds, and to such fossil Pelicans as have been described by the author and others. The arti- cle is illustrated by a good figure of the Brown Pelican drawn by Dr. Shufeldt from the large painting of that species by Audubon. King snakes. Observer, v. No. 11, Portland, Conn., Nov., 1894, pp. 328-329. One figure. Contains brief references to the various spe- cies of King Snakes ( Oiihibolus) of the United States, as represented in the collections of the U. S. National Museum, and described in its publications. A figure of a young king snake, Ophibolus g. getulus is given. (From a photograph by the author; natural size.) The photography of birds. Great Divide, xi. No. 11, Chicago, Nov., 1894, pp. 263-26^. Three figures. Good photographs of living specimens of wild and domestic animals of all kinds, as well a9 the various structures they build for their habitation and the rearing of their young, have proved of verj- great servict; to naturalists, taxidermists, and many others. In the present contribution Dr. Shufeldt deals with the subject of the photography of birds, tlie methods employed, and some of tlic many difficulties to be overcome. Half-tone figures of living specimens of the Scree<'h Owl (Mega scops), the Great Horned Owl (Bubo), and Gambel's Partridge (Calipepla) illustrate the article. The last named was taken at the U. S. National Museum. Storks. Nidologist, ii, No. 4, Alameda, Cal., Dec, 1894, pp. 45-47. Three figures in text. 222 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. SHUFELDT, Robert W.—Continued. Three talf-tone figures illustrate this article, being reproductions of photographs of the Common White Stork of Europe ( Ciconia alba). The most interesting one of these gives a Stork in full flight the moment it quits its nest, while the other two show them in differ- ent attitudes. Brief i)opular accounts are given of various species of storks found in different parts of the world, and several legends in regard to some of them are also referred to. (Jrebes. Popular Science News, Xix, No. 1, New York, Jan., 1895, pp. 3-4. This is a popular account of the birds called Grebes, and their allies, based upon the au- thor's extended scientific work in the group, in which latter the collections of the U. S. National Museum have been very extensively used. It gives the classification and relation- ships of the Pygopodes, and makes constant reference to those occurring in the United States and elsewhere, as well as the probable origin of the Loons and Grebes in time. Of this it is pointed out that they are the descend- ants of a now extinct ancestral stock of birds, from which those remarkable fossil forms of toothed divers of the Cretaceous beds of Kansas, described by Marsh—the Hesperornithidae— were an offshoot. The article is illustrated by a half-tone of the author, and figures of the Horned Grebe, drawn by Dr. Shufeldt after Audubon. [Letter to Editor. Reply to Pro- fessor Coo.] Popular Science News, xxix, No. 1, New York, Jan., 1895, p. 7. Sustains the opinion of Dr. Giinther, of the British Museum, in that the Rattlesnake (Crotalus) is incapable of sounding its rattle when from any reason the interspaces between the several individual rattles are filled with water. This fact has been noted at the Zoolog- ical Gardens of London in the case of these reptiles. Professor Coe holds a contrary opin- ion, based upon personal observation and ex- periments with rattles taken from the snakes. The Loons. Popular Science News, xxix, No. 2, New York, Feb., 1895, pp. 17-18. One figure in text. A popular description of the Loons of the United States, their habits, plumage, .and geo- graphical ranges, much of the information being derived from the specimens contained in the collections of the U. S. National Museum. Reference is made to the rarity of the Black- throated Diver in the latter, of which species there are no skins in the collection, and only a few mounted examples. A figure of TTrinator arcticus is given, drawn from one of these specimens. SHUFELDT, Robert W. Beauty from an Indian's point of view. Cosmopolitan, viii, No. 5, New York, Mar., 1895, pp. 591-598. Nine figures in text. In this contribution the question of the esti- mation of female beauty in several of the tribes of North American Indians is dealt with. Descriptions, comparisons, and the reproduc- tions from ihotographs of a number of women considered to be belles in the several tribes to which chey belong are given. Among the.se are to be noted selections from the Lagunas, the Navajoes, the Zufiians, the Apaches, the Tumas, the Moquis, and the Mojaves. To these descriptions (anatomical, anthro- pological, and otherwise), are added accounts of the various kinds of diess and trinkets worn by these women as a matter of personal adorn- ment. Auks and their allies. Popular Science News, xxix. No. 3, New York, Mar., 1895, pp. 33-34, with figures. A great many of the skins and mounted specimens, as well as all the osteological mate- rial representing this group of birds in the col- lections of the U. S. National Museum, have been extensively studied by the author. Much of this has already been published, while stiU more remains in MSS. It is upon this that the present popular article is based. The arti- cle is illustrated with drawings by Dr. Shufeldt, such as the Whiskered Auklet (after Ridgway), and the Great Auk. The latter was loaned by the Century Company, the original having appeared in The Century Magazine, where it illustrated another article by the author (Jan., 1886). On a method of modeling certain invertebrata for museum exhibition. Journ. Institute Jamaica , xi. No. 2, Kings- ton, Jamaica, Apr., 1895, pp. 170-172. Presents a fairly complete account of the methods employed at the U. S. National Mu- seum to preserve and mount various forms of invertebrates, both marineand terrestrial. The modeling of an Octopus is given as an example, and the material used in making gelatin casts is likewise described, and its formula pre- sented. Reference is also made to the mode of pre- paring models from zoological figures and pho- tographs of the specimens. Some Fort Wingate reminiscences. New Mexico. Nidologist, n. No. 8, New York, Apr., 1895, pp. 102-105. Two plates. In 1888-89 the author was stationed, as post surgeon, at Fort Wingate, N. Mex., and during the latter part of this period he passed through the ordeal of a military court-martial, one of the most famous in the history of this country. It practically tested the question as to whether or not an officer on duty could avail himself of his spare time for the purpose of scientific investigation. BIBLIOGRAPHY. 223 SHUFELDT, Robert W.—Continued. A varied collection was made afWlngate by Dr. Shufeldt for the U. S. National Museum, but the most of his time was given over to the publication of his researches, the whole repre- senting several volumes. A portion of tliis was jiublished by the Museum, while the major ])iirt of it appeared in London.

Popular Science Monthly, xi.vi, No. 6, New York, Apr., 1895, pp. 760-780. Ten fig- ures in text. Numerous types of birds still puzzle avian taxonomers, and no unanimity of opinion yet exists as to their atiinities. Examples of the.se may be seen in such forms as the Sun Bittern (Eiirypyga) and others. In the present article nearly all of these puzzling species are described and figured, and the various opinions held by ornithologists upon their kinships are given in greater or less detail. In his studies of these "outlying types" Dr. Shui'oldt made very extensive use of the collections of the IT. S. National Mu- seum. Modern taxidermy. Am.

Popular articles based upon the author's well- known report upon " Scientific Taxidermy for Museums," published by the U. S. National Museum. The half-tones illustrating these articles were made by the American Field Pub- lishing Company direct from the original pho- tographs taken at the Museum, and they con- stitute a very useful series of zoological figures. Gulls and their allies. Popular Science News, xxix, No. 5, New York, May, 1895, pp. 65-66, with figures. Partly scientific in character, this popular account is based upon the author's studies of all the osteological and other material in the collections of the U. S. National Museum, and his private cabinet, illustrating the group of birds known as the Longipennes and their allies. The major portion of these researches are in MSS. and ready for publication, with numerous original figures. The present article is illustrated by a good electro cut of Ross's Gull (adult male and young female), redrawn by the author from J. H.

In general, a very favorable notice of tlie work, the principal exceptions being tliat its author is taken to task I'or not employing the n etric system for the purposes of measure- ment; and secondly, that he perpetuates some very antiquated notions in regard to the clas- sification of some of the groups of birds. For example, Mr. Chapman retains the Flamingoes in an order by themselves, and yet places the American Vultures (CathartidaO as n family in the order Raptores, in total disregard of what is now known of the structure of these several fonns.

Contains more or less full descriptions of the "dead-leaf butterflies" of Java (Kallima para- lekta) and its peculiar habits, and also the re- lated .species K. inachis, the first named being figured. Brief accounts are given also of sev- eral South American forms, as Dynastor napo- leon, Euptychia tricolor, Perisarna euriclea, and others. The species last mentioned are fig- ured, as well as Leptocireus curious.

A favorable notice of a brief but none the less important contribution to the jiterylogra- phy of North American birds. After a careful study of the pteryloses of a sufficient number of Owls and Goatsuckers, Mr Clark naturally comes to the conclusion "that the Caprimulgi are rel.ated to Striges, and not very distantly either—probably a branch from the early part of the Strigino stem," an opinion in which his reviewer moat fully concurs. Lectures on biology. pp. i-in, 1-102. Reprinted from the American Field, XLI, No, 26, to xui. No. 8. These are the biological lectures given in full, as they were delivered at the Catholic Uni- versity of America by Dr. Shufeldt (together with a historical preface), during the moutli of January, 1892. The entire field of l)iology is reviewed with greater or less thorough- ness, and as many biological laws contlict with the dogmas entertained by the Church of 224 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. SHUFELDT, Robert W.—Contimied. Rome, these lectures met with very marked disfavor from such quarters. Through the operation of Catholic influence it was found impossihle for the author to print them, either in Europe or America, until two years after their delivery, and the reasons therefor are set forth in the preface. Kot a few references are made to the work accomplished by the U. S. National Museum and to its collections. [Article on the Mocking Bird.] Dictionarii of Jiirdn.

The theory is advanced that the land- snail fauna of the Greater Antilles is ancient and has developed on the islands, which for- merly were more elevated and united together SIMPSON, Charles Torrey—Cont'd, as well as to Middle America, and, by way of the Bahamas, to South Florida; that a subsid- ence separated the islands from each other and from Middle America, leaving only the summits of the mountains above the sea, and that they have since, during a period of uplift- ing, reached their present elevation ; that the land-snail faunaof theLesser Antillesis closely related to that of South America, and that there is no evidence that the Lesser Antilles have ever been united to the Greater Antilles. These deductions are drawn largely from bio- logical evidence. Note on Unio oregoncnsis, Lea. Nautilus, vni. No. 10, Feb., 1895, pji. 116- 118. The four type specimens of U. oretjonensis, Lea are the only ones known, and the writer, in carefuUj' comparing tliem with other species, discovered that they were identical with the forms which Lea had named Unio Poirclli and Unio McNeili from Central America.

The.se implements are the earlie.st known to have been made by man. They are distributed in almost every quarter of the globe. They are found on the surface on hills and high tablelands, but mostly in the gravels of the river valleys, and conse(]uently are believed to be of the same age. They are found associated with the i-emains of the extinct fauna of the Quaternary period and were contemporaneoiLs therewith. The char- acteristic of the industry of this age is, that all the .stone impU'ments were made by chipping or flaking. Man knew not that rubbing one stone against another would sharpen or polish it.

Implements similar in form, style, and mode of manufacturo to those from other countries have been found in the United States, and they s(^em to indicate a similar stage of culture, though tho contemporaneity of neithp.r the implements nor the stages of culture to which they belonged has yet been established so as to be universally accejited ; nor has the relationship of tlie men who made or used them on the two hemispheres been established. Yet the fact is undoubted that the implemenls are i)ractically the same. These implements have been found to the number of several hundred by Dr. Abbott in the gravels of the Delaware River, as they were washed from the glacial terminal moraine and deposited at Trenton, N. J. ; by Miss Franc E. Babbitt, in the gravels of one of the terraces of the Mississippi River, at Little Falls, Minn.; by Dr. C. L. Metz, in the gravels of tho Little Miami River at Love- land, Ohio; by Dr. Hilborne T. Cresson, at White River, Indiana, and in the Columbia gravels of the railway cuts south of Chester, Pa. The asso- ciation and condition of these finds would seem to establish the anti(juity of man's occupation in this country, and its contemporaneity with tho glacial epoch at least on the Atlantic Coast. Sim- ilar implemenls have been discovered on the sur- face in almost every State.

Some large and heavy specimens show a groove, as do the axes, which served for an attachment of a handle. These are called mauls. Other classes of hammers are the flint pebbles peculiar to Flint Kidge, Muskingum County, Ohio, and those from the Pacific Coast- (Handbook, pp. 646-648, fig. 22, Nos. 80, 81,78,82.)

These are characteristic implements of aborigi- nal Indian industry in tho United States, and their distribution i-t general. They are peculiar to this country, and do not belong to Europe. Almost tho only prehistoric grooved stone imide- meuts found there are mauls used in mining or quarrying. The material in the United States difl'ers with tho locality ; but granite, trap, and rocks which would not tiake were used. Grooved axes are made of water-worn pebbles as well as of quarried rock. They Avere chipped and pecked into shape and then smoothed or })olished by rubbing or grinding. Some were not polished but only peeked. The handle was attached by means of a withe or thong passing around in the groove. Grooved axes may be divided according to form, but there are no sharp divisions between the classes. Peculiar ibrms are to be noted, of hematite from the Mississippi Valley, or of actinolite from the pueblos of tlie Southwest. (Handbook, p. 647, fig. 22.) These have been classified as follows : I. Grooved, either wholly or partially, some with projecting wings. IT. Flat back for insertion of tightening wedge. III. Douldc-bitted. IV. Hematite. V. Actinolite from the pueblos of the South- west.

These, frequently called "Celts," and erro- neously "Fleshers' and " Skin-dressers," in the United States, and "Thunder" or "Lightning" stones in the Eastern Hemisphere, were possibly intended for use similar to the grooved axes ; and the same remarks as to material, locality, and mode of manufacture apply to one as to the other. Although these vary greatly in form and size, yet they were i)ractically for the same use. They were inserted in their handles as shown by No. 11479, which, though of stone, is like many others of wood. These are the representative implements of the Neolithic or Polished Stone Age, and are found throughout the prehistoric world. On the coast ar.d islands they are often made of shell.

The North American Indians, although living in the age of Polished Stone, made use of native copper. It was chiefly obtained from tlie Lake Superior region. Aboriginal mining has been described by Mr. Charles Whittlesey in Smith- sonian Contributions, Vol. xill. Native copper has been found in New England, New Jersey, and the mountains of Virginia and the Caroliiias. It is generally believed that the Indians did not smelt or cast copper, but hammered their imi)le- nients out of nuggets ; yet it is possible that some races or tribes had the knowledge of casting. The implements of copper were principally hatchets, knives, and spearheads, hut there are elaborate ornaments. (Handbook, pp. 666-667, fig. 40.) Copper Hatchet. From a mound.

These are similar to the polished stone hatchets in matei-ial, mode of manufacture, and in every way except their gouge form. They were prob- ably handled aiul used in the same manner. They are more plentiful in, if not conlined to, the Atlantic States. Tho.seof the southern coast and the West Indies are of shell. They occur in Europe, especially in Scandinavia.

This name has been given to a class of chipped objects which indicate by their form a possibility of being used as such. There is hardly enough evidence, however, in their appearance to war- rant this conclusion. Many of the points are slightly broken, and in a few instances the edges are smoothed; but nearly all are in their original condition and show no signs of use. A member of the Sioux Indian delegation at Washington, in January, 1890, pronounced many of them to be ornaments worn suspended from the neck. A Mohawk Indian declared them to he amulets or charms.

Nearlj- every material -was utilized for mortars, but stone was usual. One has been found in Cali- fornia niado of a fossil wbale vertebra. Those of wood are not infrequent. The metate of Mexico is similar in purpose. Tliese objects are important in this, that while they have continued in ii.se within the knowledge of persons still liv iug, they have been found in the auriferous grav- els of C'alifornia at such depth and with such associations as to be assigned to the Quaternary, or even Tertiary, geologic period. If this be true, they are the earliest known smoothed stone implements made or used by man. Mortars are not exhibited in this collection. (Handbook, pji. (i59-660, iigs. 32, 33.) Pestle.—Sandstone.

These objects, which form a numerous class, are of various shapes and careful finish, pierced with one, two, or more lioles. They are u.snally made of slate, but other material was used. Dif- ferent purposes have been ascribed to them, but nothing certain is known. They may have been pendants, amulets, or badges of distinction. They are never brought to a cutting edge, and, except in rare cases, show no signs of use. They have been found on the breasts of skeletons of antiquity in the United States.

These are extremely rare and are j)rincipally found in mounds. Their inscriptions have never been read, and the pretended translations are not approved by students of prehistoric archa'olosy. A number of tablets have been reported of which some are without doubt genuine, but tliomajority are believed, or are contended to be, frauds. The presumption would be against any newly found tablet, and its genuineness must bo established. The best known tablets believed or accepted as genuine are the Cincinnati Tablet (S. I. Contri- butions to Knowledge, Yol. i, p. 274 et seq.) ; Davenport Tablet, Short ("North American,Indi- ans of Antiquity," p. 38, et seq.) ; Grave Creek' Tablet, McLean ("The Mound Builders," p. 91, et seq).

These are made of hematite or hard stone, and are flnelj- poli.shed . Some sinkers not shown are smooth, flat, shore jiebbles, broken on the edge so as f o easily take and hold the line. One has a hole in the top by which a line can be attached ; others have a groove, though very slight; while some have neither groove nor hole. Objects similar to these have been found with a truncated butt. Their distribution throughout the interior in greater numbers than on the lake or sea shores adds to the difficulty of their clas- sification and a knowledge of their ])urpo8e.

SPADE-SHAPED IMPLEMENTS. Tliese might be classed with the ceremonial objects, as no practical use has been suggested lor them. Their rarity and restricted locality would seem to indicate a purpose more ceremonial than otherwise. Less than a dozen are repre- sented in the collection of the U. S. National Museum, the majority coming from Tennessee; northern Georgia and northeastern Arkansas furnishing one specimen each. They are always polished, and the spade portion is never brought to a shari> cutting edge. The material of which they are made is always compact, iine-grained stone, greenstone, chlorite, lydite, etc. (Hand- book, p. 657, tig. 26.) Spade-shaped Implement.—Green chlorite.

The purpose of these objects is purely conjec- tural. For want ofa name indicating their use they liave been called variously, ceremonial objects, banner stones, butterflies, etc. Their material is usually too soft and fragile to have served as cutting implements or weapons. They are not sharpened to a cutting edge, and their signs of use are rare, except that they are often broken. The hole is too small for the insertion of a handle for service. While some specimens are of slate and other sofi substances, indicating that they might have been ornaments, yet others are of quartz, jasper, syenite, and similar substances—hard, and dirticult to shape, polish, or drill. Some speci- mens show only the rude form made by hammer- ing and pecking; others, although finished by l)ulishing, are destitute of shaft holes, or merely show their beginnings, demonstrating the fact that in America (as in Europe) articles were first brought to the required shape and afterwards drilled. A large number of these objects are fouiul broken after being completely finished, both by polishing and drilling, and in some cases the blades or wings show perforations similar to those in the tablets. This indicates a secondary use, possiblj^ as badges or ornaments, and so they were considered of value, even when broken. (Handbook, p. 648, fig. 23.) CEUE.MONIAL OB.IECT. Howard County, Md.

This name is given to a class of objects some- what bird-like in shape, but which run impercep- tibly into other conventional forms, such as the fence lizard, turtle, etc. They generally stand on flat bases, pierced with a diagonal hole at each end where the breast and tail rise. In some cases the eyes are not represented; in others they are marked by bead-like projec'tions expand- ing into discs. Some specimens belonging to this class were evidently not intended to repre- sent either birds or animals, both ends being alike. Various theories as to their use have been 288 REPORT OP NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. advaiieeil, knife handles, corn liuskers, etc., but Dono of tliese are satisfactory. One sjiocimen in tlio National Museum (No. 9075) from the Northwest coast (entirely modern) has a cord attached, evidently for suspension. Their use as charms or amulets seems tlie most probable. A Chippewa Indian stated that they served for gaming. They were placed in a flat pan or bas- ket which, being covered, was shaken up and down, then set down carefuUj-, the cover removed, and an inspection would show how many birds were seated miright. He who had the gre:itest number won the game. (Handbook, p. 651, tig. 25, Nos.210, 211.) Bird SHAPED Object.—Striped slate. Fremont, Ohio. Cast, No. 35610, in U. S.

BOAT-SHAPED OBJECTS. The title indicates our want of knowledge con- cerning their purpose. Diflerent uses have been assigned to them, such as twine twisters, handles for carrying parcels, or for tightening cords or lines. A Mohawk medicine woman said they were "a witch's auiulet.s for her transportation over the water, as i.s the broomstick by the mod- ern witch for flight through the air. If it was lost, her power of flight or passage was gone." Some are solid, others are hollowed out, and the perforations may be either at the center or near the ends. These objects are nearly always well made and polished ; their material is syenite, though greenstone and occasionally slate were used, esjtecially the striped variety. A limited number of specimens of this class, made ot galena, have been found. (Handbook, p. 650, tig. 24, Noa. 134-135.) Boat-shaped Object. Southington, Conn. Cast, No. 34597, in U. S.

In the National Museum is a number of f;tone tubes of cylindrical and other forms and diU'ereut lengths. The smaller ones, often only a few inches in length, have been thouglit to be ornaments. A variety of uses is ascribed to the larger objects, the most plausible being that by the medicine man for the jiretended curing of di.seases. Their use for smoking or as whistles or calls has also been suggested. The hole through the tube is sometimes the same size througliout, having been drilled from one end, and sometimes biconical, having been drilled from both ends. Another class has large, straight, cylindrical holes drilled almost the entire length of the tube and then fin ished with one of a small diameter. One specimen in the Museum collection is 13 inches long and terminates at one end in an expanding mouth- piece (No. 7243). The materials are usually ste atite, banded slate, and chlorite, although sped mens of sandstone are not wanting. (Handbook, p. 664, fig. 37 ) Tube.—Striped slate. Fremont, Ohio.

A clas- Hifieation of pipes is impossible on account of their diversity of shape. For illustration and description of the more marked types see Hand- book, p. 662 et seq., figs. 35, 36, 38.

The specimens here enumerated are not less than 2 inches, and seldom over G inches, in diam- eter, and show unmistakable indications of hav- ing been artificiallj' worked into shape by pecking or grinding. The material is usually hard, such as quartz, white, brown, or yellow quartzite (sometimes translucent), dark greenstone, etc. Specimens of argillite and sandstone, however, are not wanting. They are supposed to have been used by the Indians in a g.;me called "chungkee," described by Adair, DuPratz, Lawson, and other early writers, and referred toby Lewis and Clarke, Catlin, and writers of more recent date. They are found principally in the Southern and West- ern States. (Handbook, p. 654, fig. 27.) DlscoiD.\L Stone.—Brown jaspery quartz. East Tennessee. Cast, No. 35450, in U. S.

STONE OBJECTS FROM THE AURIFEROUS GRAVELS OF CALIFORNIA . These are tho enigmas of prehistoric man in North America. If any reliance cau be placed in human testimony, we must believe that these, with mortars and similar objects, came from under the lava beds and belong to the early Quat- ernary, if not tho Tertiary geologic period. If thus found they would seem to be the earliest known implements made by man, and again thej' are of the Neolithic or Polished Stone civilization, and so belong to the more modern prehistoric man in the present geologic period. These contradic- tions must await tho investigations of the geolo- gist and paleontologist as well as the archfeologist. In our present knowledge it would be unwise to announce any hard' and fast theory. Object from the Aurifekous Gravels OF California.—Fragment of a pestle. Tuolumne County, Cal. Cast, No. 8742, in U.

They may be made of wood, but usu- ally are of hard greenstone, the jade of that coun- try. They have been polished with a .species of corundum found in the island. They are finely and symmetrically made, must have required much labor, and are valued highly. They become heirlooms and are given proper names. A sword knot is attached either l)y a groove or hole. This specimen was given by J. B. Aldrich, who de- .scribes it bj' letter from Memphis, June 25, 1883, thus: "It was dug out of a mound under my direction in 1866, while quartermaster. United States Army. Themound was situated just south of the Arkansas River, nearthe thirty-eighth par- allel, in Bent County, southeastern Colorado. It was tho theory of Kit Carson, who accompanied the command, that it had been secreted there bj' some of the Comanche or Ajiache Indians who then occupied the Territory." The hole is filled with a remnant of the loop, made of vegetable fiber. Patd-Patu or Merai. Said to have been found in a mound.

The objects forming this series in the Museum collection have been mostly obtained from Indian graves and from the surface of the Santa Barbara Islands and the opposite Californian coast. Their material is sandstone, serpentine, soapstone, etc., though specimens of harder material, such as greenstone, have been found. They vary in size and form, being from li to 5 inches or more in diameter. There are some specimens only one- half inch in thickness, while others are so thick as to equal their diameter and give them a glob- ular form. (Handbook, p. 655, fig. 28.)

The following condensed statement is made up from the report sub- mitted by Mr. Henry lloran, superintendent of buildings, and is intended to indicate, in a general way, the character of the work performed by the members of the force connected with his department: 1894. July.—A set of bookshelves was constructed at the west end of the lecture hall for the use of the Museum library. All of the exhibition cases in the north hall were thoroughly cleaned aud the woodwork repolished. The model of the Zuni Indian village was removed from the department of i»rehistoric anthropology to the Museum building. New steam coils were placed in several of the halls of the Museum, and the radiators in the northeast court and in the boat hall were placed on the top of the wall cases recently constructed. Several exhibits in the section of fisheries, including the deep-sea sounding apparatus, were taken down and sent to storage. Aur/ast.—Exhil)ition cases were constructed in the room on the first floor of the south tower of the Smithsonian building for the use of the section of physical appa- ratus. Repairs were made to the floor in the lecture hall. The "Quarry Group" was transferred from the department of ethnology to the department of prehistoric anthropology. The lecture hall was prepared for a meeting of the Association of Agricultural Chemists, held August 23-25. Workmen were engaged for several days in enlarging one of the chimneys in the northwest pavilion. In anticipation of the meeting of the Knights of Pythias in this city, and the large number of strangers expected, all of the cases were removed from the rotunda, in order that the crowds might be handled more readily. September.—A large radiator was placed in the paint shop, proper connections being made with the boiler room in the Smithsonian ))uildiug. Repairs were made to the boilers in the Museum building, the work being performed by contract. The east balcony and the adjacent offices were fitted up for the use of the National Herbarium. The boiler and pump rooms in the Smithsonian Ijuiiding were cleaned and whitewashed. Direct connections were made by telephone between the iluseum and the Department of Agriculture. October.—The door-screen cases between the piers in the northwest range were replaced by pier cases. Trenches were dug and steam pipes laid from the Smithso- nian building to the Astro-Physical Observatory. All of the steam pipes in the basement of the northwest pavilion were removed, and the heating apparatus in the upper stories of this section of the building overhauled. Repairs were made to the floor in the fisheries hall. The electric wires and batteries in the northwest pavilion were overhauled, the wires in the Assistant Secretary's office being placed under the floor. The work of putting the east balcony into condition for the National Herbarium, constructing and erecting cases, etc., was continued. Stationary book- cases of oak were constructed in the office of the Assistant Secretary. The large iron safe in the office of tlie chief clerk was set in the wall, in a space cut for the purpose. Ventilators were placed in the telephone room and in the offices of the superintendent aud property clerk. 307 308 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1895. November.—A new switchboard was placed in the telephone room, and several additional instruments were installed in dift'erent parts of the building. New steam pipes were placed in the office of the department of fishes. A large exhibition case, Avhich had heretofore been in the center of the northwest court, was remodeled and made into two wall cases, which will be set up in the section of oriental antiquities. Several pier cases were set up in the mineral hall, in place of the door-screen cases, which have been removed. December.—A\l oi' the cases in the department of prehistoric anthropology were thoroughly cleaned. The lecture hall was put in condition for the use of the Ameri- can Historical Society, Avhose meetings opened December 27. Considerable work was (lone in the southeast court, preparatory to its occupancy as the exhibition hall of the paleontological department. 1895. January.—Work in the southeast court was continued. A number of screens were altered, and these and the walls Avere painted. The plaster casts and models were moved from the basement rooms under the north tower of the Smithsonian building. The exhibition cases in the dep.irtmcnt of comparative anatomy were rearranged. All of the oils and inflammable materials, which were formerly stored in the alcohol room in the basement of the Smithsonian building, were removed to other quarters. February.—A section of the mahogany Avail case on the north side of the exhibi- tion hall of the department of couiparative anatomy was removed in order to pro- vide an entrance to the southeast court from this side. The lire plug in the east- south range was removed and placed just inside the entrance to the southeast pavilion. The north and west basement rooms of the Smithsonian building were fitted up with shelves and will be used for the storage of plaster casts and molds. Watch boxes Avere placed in several of the outbuildings. March.—A telephone instrument Avas placed in the carpenter shop, and connec- tions made Avith the telephone room. Watch boxes Avere erected on the second floor of each of the four balconies of the Museum building.

AjjrU.—A force of men Avero engaged for several days in hanging the models of Indian villages on the walls of the northwest court. A man was detailed from each of the night Avatihes for duty outside of the larger buildings, the object being to o-ive better protection to the sheds and outbuildings. A hose reel Avas placed just outside the south entrance to the Smithsonian building, the hose being kept con- stantly attached to the fire plug and ready for immediate use. A ladder and ax have also been placed Avithin easy reach, and connections Avith the telephone room established, so that help may be readily summoned in case of fire. May.—For several days a number of men Avere engaged in rearranging the cases in the mineral hall. Improvements Avere made in one of the rooms on the second floor of the Avest balcony. It is proposed to place toilet rooms in the basement and on the first and second floors of the south tower of the Smithsonian building. This work was commenced about the middle of the month. A number of long-distance tele- phones Avere put up by the telephone company in place of the old style of instru- ment formerly in use. This change necessitated additional wires, as the new instruments require a metallic circuit. June.—An additional Avatch l)ox Avas placed in the Museum carpenter shop. New quarters for storage purposes were rented, and the work of removing material to the new building occupied considerable time during the month. Door-screen cases Avere placed between the piers above the Avail cases in the department of compara- tive anatomy. The steam valves of the radiators throughout the buildings were examined and a portion of them repacked. The boiler rooms and coal vaults were thoroughly renovated and whitewashed.
