GENERAL CONSI DKPv A'JK )NS.

The United States National Museum had its oriyin in tlu^ act of Cong-ress of 184(3 founding- the kSmithsonian Institution, which made the formation of a museum one of the principal functions of the latter, and jirovided that

Whenever suitable avrangementH can l)e made from time to time for their recep- tion, all objects of art and of foreis^n and curious reseai-ch, and all objects of natural history, plants, and geological and mineralogical specimens belunging to the Tnited States, which may be in the city of Washington, in whosesoever custody they may be, shall be deli\ered tu such persons as may be authorized I>y the Board of Regents to receive them, and shall be so arranged and classified in the building erected for the Institution as best to facilitate the examination and study of them; and when- ever new specimens in natural historv, geology, or mineralogy are obtained for the museum of the Institution, l)y exchanges of duplicate specimens, Avhich the Regents may in their discretion make, or by donation, whicli they may receive, or otherwise, the Regents shall catise such new sj^ecimens to be appropriately classed and arranged.

The principal and accumulated interest of the Smithsonian fund amounted at thtit time to about ^75(),()()0, a sum considered amph^ to meet the needs of the various operations in which it was proposed that the Smithsonian Institution should eno-uo-e. In lS4ti probahh^ not more than one or two universities or learned establishments in Amer- ica had so larg(> an endowment, and it was apparently the idea of Concrress that the fund was sufficient both for the erection of a build- ing- and for the care of the collections which would l)e turned over to it or acquired by the national surveys, and in other ways. The Museum thus beg-an as an integral part of the Institution, coordinate with its library, and was required by law to ln•o^'ide for the Govern- ment collections which had previoush* accumulated, a dut^' which the 4 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSfiUM, 1902.

Institution did not see its way clear to fulfill until 1S5S, when Con- gress began to make small yearl}^ appropriations to aid in this purpose. So inadequate, however, were the sums voted, that for many years the slender income of the Institution continued to be drawn upon to insure the maintenance of what was then justly called the Smithsonian Museum, since the building was paid for out of the Smithson fund, a considerable portion of the collections was and still is the property of the Institution, through exploration and gift, and a lumiber of the officials connected with the Museum were employed at its expense. The first scientific collection to come into the possession of the Insti- tution—and, in fact, it accompanied the bequest—was the small but valuable mineralogical cabinet of James Smithson, the founder, who was himself a chemist and udneralogist of repute, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. The nucleus of the National Museum was, however, virtuall}" acquired b}^ the National Institute, a society organized in Washington about 1840, having for its avowed purpose the direction of the Smithson bequest and the pursuit of objects in consonance with the terms of that foundation. One of these objects was the gathering of historical and natural history specimens from both official and private sources, most prominent among the former having been the United States Exploring Expedition around the world from 1S38 to 1842. Rooms in the Patent Office building were secured for the museum of the society, which was practically recognized as the appropriate place of deposit for all Gov- ernment collections retained in Washington. Another important serv- ice rendered by the society was, as the late Dr. G. Brown Goode has said, in the direction of educating public opinion "to consider the establishment of such an institution worthy of the Government of the United States." Failing, however, to secure the public recognitiouat which it aimed, it became inactive upon the establishment of the Smith- sonian Institution in 1846, and its charter, which expired in 1861, was not renewed. The Government collections in its possession, which came practically under the care of the Commissioner of Patents, were turned over to the Smithsonian Institution in 1858. Other material directl}^ under the control of the National Institute remained at the Patent Office until 1862, and a part of the historical obji^cts were held there until 1883. Previous to 1858, however, important materials for a luuscum were being accumulated at the Smithsonian Institution, at its own cost and through the activities of its assistant secretary. Prof. Spencer F. Baird, beginning even before his appointment to that office in 1850. The personal bent of Professor Baird Avas toward the collection of natural history specimens for purposes of study. With the approval of Secretary Henry he put into operation plans for the accomplish- ment of this object, which, fostered tmd encouraged, were soon yield- REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 5 ing regular and abundant returns. Professor Baird\s own vacations were spent in field work. Ofticei-.s of the Army and Navy and of other branches of the Government service, fishermen, fur traders, private explorers, and such powerful organizations as the Hudson's Bay Com- pany and the Western Union Telegraph Company, were enlisted in the work and rendered valuable assistance. The influence exerted by these beginnings has been lasting and widespread, as shown in the extensive natural history operations of subsequent National and State surveys, the organization of the Fish Commission and Bureau of Eth- nology, and the support giv^en to scientific collecting l)y many other bureaus of the CTOvernment. The discussion of plans for the organization of the Smithsonian Institution, which devolved upon the first Board of Regents, led, in January, 18-t7, to the unanimous adoption of the following resolution expressing approval of the museum featur*^ as one of its imi)(>rtant functions:

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

The policy thus announced has prevailed to the present day. In 1879, when most of the existing Government surveys, whose work included the collecting of specimens in the field, had been estab- lished, Congress deemed it important to practically reenforce the pro- visions of the act founding the Institution, in order that there might be no doubt as to the proper disposition of the material certain to be derived from these various sources, T)y the following enactment in the sundry civil appropriation act for 1880:

All collections of rocks, minerals, soils, fossils, and ol)jects of natural history, archa}ology, and ethnology, made by the Coast and Interior Survey, the Geological Survey, or by any other parties for the Government of the United States, when no longer needed for investigations in progress shall be deposited in the National Museum.

Although the name "National Museum'' was sometimes used in the

earlier reports of the Smithsonian Institution, it did not appear in any of the laws of Congress until 1875. Its general employment may ba said to date from the time of the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition of 1876, the first exposition in this country in which the Government participated, and the first to make known to vast numbers of the people of the United States the existence of national collections at

Washington, as well as new methods of installing and exhibiting museum materials, differing radicalW from the older cabinets of col- lege or local museums, which had prevailed up to that period. After its olose the Government exhibits brought Isack to Washington, together with the extensive gifts made to the United States b}" private persons and foreign governments, rendered necessarv the early erec- tion of a new and separate building, devoted entirely to nniseum purposes. Since that time Congress has mainly provided for the maintenance of the Museum, but its management remains, by the fundamental act, under the authority of the Regents of the Smithson- ian Institution, administered through their Secretary, who is e.e officio the keeper—a form of government insuring a consistent and uniform polic}'^ and a nonpartisan administration of its affairs. The greater part of the Smithsonian building is still used for museum purposes, and the Institution, as well as most of the scientilic bureaus at Wash- ington, cooperate, both through men and material, in enlarg-ing and caring for the national collections. The scope of the National Museum as defined l^y law com]5rises practically all branches of science and of the arts which admit of museum treatment. With exceedingly limited means for making pur- chases, and tlierefore almost entire!}" dependent as to the character of its collections upon Government explorations, personal donations, and exchanges, its different departments have had a very unequal growth. The subjects best represented are American ethnology and archaeology, geology, zoolog}", and botany. A fair beginning has been made in the exceedingly important branches of the industrial arts and American history, and scarcely more is required to place these two departments on a proper basis than sufficient room to display the necessary collections, which are certain to be received, in greater part through gratuitous contriljutions, when it is known that the Museum is prepared to care for them. In the department of the fine arts the collection is still very small, but the subject is one which must sooner or later receive (^arncst consideration bv the Government. The specimens in all In-anchesare classified in two series; one, com- prising the bidk of the material, })eing arranged for the purposes of scientific research and reference in l!il)oratori(\s and storerooms, to which students ar(^. freely admitted: the other, selected with regard to their general educational value and pu))lic interest, and accompanied by descriptive labels, ])eing displayed in glass-covered cases in the public halls. The duplicate specimens not required for exchanges are made up into sets for distribution to schools and colleges, as opportunity offers. Papers descriptive of the collections, both tech- nical and popular, are published for gratuitous circulation to the extent of three or more volumes 3'early, and, finally, the Museum has come to be regarded as a bureau of information in respect to all EEPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 7 subjects with which it is even in the remotest degree concerned, the correspondence which this involves now constituting one of its heaviest tasks. The history of the Museum, as pointed out by the lute Dr. Goode, may be divided into three epochs, which he characterized as follows:

First, the period from tlie foundation of the Smithsonian Institutif)n to 1857, dur- ing whicli time specimens were collected solely to serve as materials for research. No special effort was made to exhibit them to the public or to utilize them, except as a foundation for scientific description and theory. Second, the period from 1857, when the Institution assumed the custody of the 'National Cabinet of Curiosities," to 1876. During this period the Museum became a place of deposit for scientific collections which had already been studied, these col- lections, so far as convenient, being exhibited to the public and, so far as practicable, made to serve an educational purpose. Third, the present period (beginning in the year 1876), in which the Museum has undertaken more fully the additional task of gathering collections and exhibiting them on account of their value from an educational standpoint. During the first period the main object of the IMuseum was scientific research; in the second, the establishment became a museum of record as well as of research, while in the third period has been added the idea of public education. The three ideas—record, research, and education—cooperative and mutually helpful as they are, are essential to the development of every great museum. The National Museum endeavors to jiromote them all.

In the same connection. Dr. Goode also defined the scoj^e and objects of the Museum in the following concise manner:

It is a museum of record, in which are jireserved the material foundations of an enormous amount of scientific knowledge—the types of numerous past investigations. This is especially the case with those materials that have served as a foundation for the reports upon the resources of the United States. It is a museum of research, which aims to make its contents serve in the highest degree as a stimulus to inquiry and a foundation for scientific investigation. Research is necessary in order to identify and gniup the objects in the most philosophical and instructive relations, and its officers are therefore selected for their ability as investi- gators, as well as for their trustworthiness as custodians. It is an educational museum, through its policy of illustrating by specimens every kind of natural object and every manifestation of human thought and activity, of displaying descriptive labels adapted to the popular mind, and of distributing its publications and its named series of duplicates.

AS A MUSEUM OF RECORD.

In its function as a museum of record the growth of the National Museum has been unprecedented, due mainly to the rapid exploration and dev^elopment of a rich and extensive country under the liberal and progressive policv of the Government. From scientific institu- tions throughout the world, from foreign governments, and from indi- viduals abundant stores of great value have been received, either as gifts or through the medium of exchange of specimens, and a small appropriation in recent 3'ears has permitted of some purchases to supply desiderata. 8 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902.

The principal .sources of the collections niav be briefl}' summarized as follows:

1. The explorations carried on more or less direct! 3' under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, or by the Institution in con- nection with educational institutions or commercial establishments, and the eii'orts, since 1850, of its officers and correspondents toward the accumulation of natural histor}^ and anthropological material.

2. The United States Exploring Expedition around the world from 1838 to 1S42, the North Pacific, or Perry, Exploring Expedition from 1853 to 1856, and many subsequent naval expeditions down to and including the recent operations in the AVest Indian and Philippine waters. 3. The activities of meml)ers of the United States diplomatic and consular service abroad. 4. The Government surveys at home, such as the Pacific Railroad surveys, the Mexican and Canadian boundary surveys, and the surve3's carried on by the Engineer Corps of the U. S. Ami}- and the activi- ties of officers of the Signal Corps, and other branches of the Arnw stationed in remote regions.

5. The explorations of the U. S. Geological Survey, the U. S. Fish Commission, the Department of Agriculture, the Bureau of American Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution, and other scientific branches of the Government.

6. Donations and purchases in connection with the several exposi- tions at home and abroad in which the Museum and Fish Commission have participated, among these having been the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia in 1870, the international fisheries exhibitions at Berlin in 1880 and at London in 1883, the New Orleans Cotton Centennial Exposition in 188-1 and 1885, the Cincinnati Exposition of 1888, the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 1893, and the expositions at Atlanta in 1895, at Nashville in 1897, at Omaha in 1898, and at the Pan-American Exposition of 1901. The returns from the World's Fair in Philadelphia were of greatest extent, comprising, besides the collections displa3'ed b}- the United States in illustration of the animal and mineral resources, the fisheries, and the ethnology of the native races of the countr3' , valuable gifts from thirty of the foreign govern- ments which participated, as well as the industrial collections of numer- ous manufacturing and commercial houses of Europe and America.

7. Exchanges with foreign and domestic museums and with indi- viduals. Immediately preceding the Centennial Exhibition of 1S7*!, when the collections were entirely provided for in the Smithsonian building, the number of entries of specimens in the Museum record books was about 235,000. In 1881:, when the additional room afi'orded b3^ the new building gave opportunit}'^ for taking a provisional census of the large EEPOKT OF ASSISTANT SECKETABV. •'

Many collections have, from time to time, been transferred by the Geological Survey, the Fish Commission, the Department of Agricul- ture, and other branches of the Government to the custody of the Museum in advance of their final working up, in ordei- to provide for their safe storage and to secure the better facilities for study here afforded. Under this arrangement the amount of research work car- ried on in the Museum l)uilding has been greatly increased. Though having little means to expend for field work, members of the Museum staff" are occasionally given opportunities to participate in the explorations of other Government bureaus or of private expedi- tions, in connection with which special researches may be carried on, though the chief ad\antage results from the acquisition of new and valuable material and a knowledge of the conditions under which it occurred in nature.

AS AN EDUCATIONAL MUSEUM.

The educational side of the ^luseum is intended to consist mainl}^ of an exhibition of all the classes of objects which it represents, so mounted, installed, and labeled as to directly interest and instruct the general public. The principal difficulty incident to the proper installa- tion of such a collection, conceding all the space requin^d, lies in the selection of its parts, so that while enough is displayed to convey the amount of information which it is intended to impart, the visitor shall not be ov^erburdened or confused with details. While this policy is being followed in the National Museum so far as its means permit, the lack of room has alwa3^s prevented a complete or satisfactory development of the plan, and every succeeding year the conditions in this respect grow worse instead of better through the increased t-rowd- ing of the halls. The advances in recent years have been chiefiy in the methods of display, in th(^ character of indiA'idual and group mountings, and in the labeling, in all of which directions exceptional progress has ))een made.

A year ago it was announced that all of the halls designed for pub- lic u.se were then for the first time permanently open, though none were above addition or improvement, while in some the arrangement was entirely provisional. This was only accomplished ])y the transfer of large quantities of material to outside storage, but during the past year it has unfortunately been again necessary to shut off one of the most attractive halls in order to furnish increased space for work- rooms.

In this connection it seems appropriate to refer to the work of Dr. Goode, than whom no museum administrator ever had a better under- standing of the public needs. He labored earnestly and conscien- KEPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 11

tiously to make thi.s a museum for, as well as of, the people, and the plans now being carried out are, in all their essential features, of his making-. AVhile the assistants might be relied upon to arrange^ and maintain tlie stud}' series in a manner acceptable to the specialist, the interests of the public alwa3's remained in his immediate charge. He was ever occupied in devising ways for so presenting the features of nature and the acti\'ities of mankind that by the very force of his sur- roundings the visitor was bound to receive and cai'ry witii him some detinite impressions, some new bit of knowledge. Dr. (roode's labors in this field ranged from the planning of the general scheme to the most minute details of case architecture and fittings. His oihcial con- nection with nearly all the important expositions oi the past quarter of a century and his exhaustive studies of all the principal museums of Europe and the United States gave him exceptional opportunities for observation and experiment. Though a young man wIkmi he died, none other had acquired so ripe an expericMice and uoik^ is more worthy of being followed. An incidental though very popular educational feature of the Museum, having for its purpose the promotion of scientitic teaching throughout the country, has been the disti'ibution to schools and col- leges of its duplicat(^ specimens, properly identified and la])eled, and put up in carefully selected sets. Inade(|uate means have prevented this measure from being carried out on the scale which the resources of the Museum would admit of, 1)ut many hundreds of such s(>ts jiavo alread}^ been given away. Scarcely a year passes that some expedition, either at home or abroad, is not occupying the attention of the Museum, and through this means its existence and aims are l)rought constantly and promi- nently before the public. These expositions have of late followed one another so closely and have riMpured such extensive preparations as to interfere greatly with the ordinai'v ^\•ork of the Museum, but the practice of introducing new and \ aiied features, of showing a fresh series of objects or improved groupings in connection with each one, insures a substantial gain, as the collections are retui'ned to Washing- ton, besides fulfilling the important function of making nmseimi methods known to the people of the Unitrs. Though maiid}^ technical and most useful to the investigator, the publications of the IViuseum can be classed, in a general way, as belong- ing to its educational side, being the medium through wdiich the nature and extent of its collections are made known. The Annual Report, first printed as a separate volume of the Smithsonian Keport in 1S8-1, and now in its nineteenth volume, consists,- besides the administrative part, mainly of semi-popular papers on interesting portions of the collections. The Proceedings and Bulletins are almost exclusively 12 REPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902.

technical, the shorter papers being assigned to the former and the larger and more exhaustive works to the latter. Of the Proceedings twent}--

three complete volumes have been issued and of the Bulletins fift^-one numbers.

PRESENT CONDITION AND NEEDS OF THE MUSEUM.

The National Museum now occupies the building erected for its use in 1881, the greater part of the Smithsonian building, parts of three detached buildings on the Mall, and several rented buildings south of B street SW. The floor area represented, together with the general use to which the several floors of the larger buildings and each of the

smaller buildings are devoted, is showni in the following table:

.' Total 238, 689

An inypection of the .several building's shows conditions which are very deplorable for the National Museum of a great country. Every branch is seriously hampered by the total inadequacy of the space assigned it, and the proper disposition of specimens long ago became impossible, with the result that year after year valualile collections, often of large size, have had to be packed away in insecure rented buildings, where they are also inaccessible. While the Museum building is not ill adapted to exhibition purposes, it is much too small to serve the present needs. Its halls are overcrowded, the cases being generally placed so near together that two persons can scai-cely pass between them and no effective view of their contents can be obtained. An increase in space of one-half to two-thirds at least woiUd be neces- sary to properly display the present contents of these halls. Having practically no basement, the only space available for the reserve storage, workrooms, and offices is in the small rooms of the central towers and corner pavilions, except that some of the galleries designed for exhibition have from necessity been turned over to these purposes. In these quarters the specimens are packed almost solidly, in cases generallv reaching to such a height as to make access to the upper ones extremely inconvenient. The workers have scarcely room in which to place their tables, and there is little place anywhere for the spreading out of spc^cimens for purposes of study and classification or of preparation for exhibition. In the Smithsonian building, which was originally intended to be used only in small part for nuiseum purposes, the conditions are simi- lar. There are four exhibition halls, three used for zoology and one for prehistoric archeology. The latter, occupying the entire upper floor of the main building, has, through the loosening and fall of large areas of plaster from the ceiling, been pronounced unsafe and closed to the public until funds can be obtained for its repair and renovation. The large corresponding room on the ground floor has four galleries extending nearly its entire length, which, some fifteen years ago, were turned into work and storage quarters for several branches of zoology. They are overcrowded with cases and tables and are, moreover, extremely unhealthf ul places for the assistants stationed there because of the impure air rising from the exhibition floor below.

In the ])asement is stored the greater part of the valua})le alcoholic collection of the Museum, in a series of dark, damp rooms, wholly 14 EEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902. unsuitod to the piirpo.s(\ unci where a threat deal of work has to be car- ried on. The other workrooms and storerooms in the Smithsonian building, I)esides two or three small ones on the main floor, are in the north tower, which is utilized for these purposes up to the lieight of the seventh story. It is scarcel}^ necessar}- to explain that man}- of these rooms, all of which are ver}' small, are inconvenient of access, and that specimens can be carried to and from them only with difficulty. Many of the activities of the Museum and much the greater part of its storage have, for a long period, had to be provided for in outside buildings, partly on the Mall and partly rented at an anmial expense of over $4,000. The taxidermists are quartered in the upper part of the Smithsonian stable and in a temporary frame structure back of the Smithsonian building. On Armory square, adjoining the Fish Commission building, is an old, dilaj)idated wooden shed filled with specimens. On Ninth street SW. there is under lease a large area of land, covered with wooden sheds containing an immense amount of valuable collections and much other Museum property. The greater part of the so-called Marsh collection of vertel)rate fossils, which has been valued at above $150,000, is still stored in a rented building at Tenth street and Maryland avenue, which also provides space for sev- eral preparators' workshops. Two other rented buildings are likewise used to accommodate the extensive carpenter, paint, and glazing shops which are re(|uirod for the making of furniture and for the repairs upon the main l)uildings. In order to carry out the purposes for which it exists, the National Museum requires a greatly increased amount of space, and that any additional space provided l)e better adapted to its wants than that now occupied. For the exhibition collections a connecting series of relatiA^el}^ large rooms or halls is needed to permit of the arrangement of the specimens and groups of specimens, many of considerable size, in such manner as will best adapt them to the comprehension of the public and, by the avoidance of crowding, allow them to be viewed effectively-. The record collections, commonly known as the reserve or stud}^ series, comprising the bulk of the material in most departments, while demand- ing such a convenient disposition as will insure the read}" examination of specimens, require relatively less space than the exhibition collec- tions, as they can be much more compactl}" arranged in drawers and on shelves. Yet their extent is so great that the question of their accommodation is one of the most important ones for consideration. They have been mainly derived from the Government sui-veys of the past sixty years, and represent a ver}' large expenditure of public money. For the activities of the Museum are needed man}^ well-lighted and well-appointed rooms to serve as laboratories for classif3"ing collections :

It shoukl also be noted that the Museum is called upon to furnish workrooms for several of the scientific bureaus, whose collections are partly studied there, and that, by a recent act of Congress, it is incumljent upon the Museum to pro- vide facilities for such students and investigators from other })arts of the country as may choose to visit it for purposes of researcli. Finall}^, space must be provided for certain general and miscella- neous purposes, such as the mechanit-al workshops and storerooms, the heating plant, public-comfort rooms, the lil)rary. a lecture' hall, the administrative ofiices, etc. An. estimate of the amount of space needed has been reached by a carefid consideration of the several reipiirements as set forth Ixdow, nameh'

(1) To reliev(> the present very congested condition of the exhitfi- tion halls.

(2) To provide for the display of objects now in storage which are suitable and intended for public exhibition.

(8) Convenient and systematic storage for the vast reserve oi- record collections which are now for the most part inaccessi]>le for examina- tion.

(Jr) Suitable scientific laboratories, preparators' workshops, etc.

(5) The mechanical workshops required in making repairs to build- ings and in the construction and repair of eases and other furniture and fixtures.

(6) Offices necessary for administrati\e and other ])uip()scs common to all the branches of the Museum.

(7) The space required for the heating phmt, the lil)rary, a lecture hall, public-comfort rooms, and other miscellaneous purposes.

(8) Provision for future growth. The growth of the Museum for a numl)er of years past has been mainly through the receipt of material which by law it must receive and care for. The amount of material declined or diverted elsewhere during the last ten or fifteen years because of the lack of room would have occupied a very large proportion of the present exhibition space and have greatly increased the money value of the collections. The same conditions have prevented the Museum authorities from solicit- ing large contributions, but with adequate facilities many extensive exhibits can be had for the asking. The department of arts and industries, the more practical side of the Museum, has perhaps suf- fered most from the lack of accommodations. I^arge exhibits have had to be removed to storage, and the growth of this most important and striking branch was necessarily stopped some time ago. It should be made here, as it has been in all the larger capitals of the world, one of the most important features of the national collections, and its 16 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902. increase, once stimulated, would go forward rapidly and at relatively small expense, as generous donations might be expected from all quarters. Using the above topics as a basis for calculations, the amount of space immediately required has been worked out in a tentative wa}' for each of the departments. This information is summarized in the following table, which gives also for each subject the space now occu- pied. With regard to the present storage areas, it should be borne in mind that much of the material is now compactly stored in packing boxes, and if transferred to classified storage would spread out over man}^ times the space. The departments named are those under which the Museum is classified for convenience of administration.

SUMMARY OF THE OPERATION'S OE THE YEAR.

Ari'ltOrUIATIONS ANT) EXl'KN DITUKES.

The total amount appropriated l)y Cong-ress For the mainteuanee of the National Museum during the year ending Jmie oO, l'.>02, was $289,400, as against $203,540 for tlie previous year. The principal changes as compared with 1901 were as follows: An increase of $2,500 under furniture and fixtures, an increase of $5,500 under heating- and lighting, of which $5,000 was for completing the electric installation in the Museum building, and an increase of $800 under rent of work- shops and storage quarters. The two following- special appropriations were made: For the purchase and installation of new boilers in the Museum building- of a capacity for heating both l)uilding-s, $12,500; for the construction of two galleries in the Museum building, $5,000. The expenditures up to the close of the 3^ear from the appropria- tions for 1901-2 amounted to $274,271. 20, leaving abalance of $15,128.80 to meet outstanding liabilities. During- the same year $15,052.81 were disbursed from the balance of $15,293.77 of the appropriations for

1900-1901 on hand July 1, 1901. The following tables show the expenditures during the year 1901-2 under each item of the appropriations for the past two years:

BUILDINGS.

Several important alterations and improvements have been made in the Museum building. Some additional space has been gained through the construction of galleries in three ranges—the west-north, the north- west, and the south-west—wliich are being fitted up for the library and as laboratories for the departments of anthropology and geology. The steam boilers, Avhich had become entirel}^ worn out after a service dating from the erection of the l)uilding. liav(> ])een replaced by a pair of water-tube boilers of modern pattern, with capacity for heating both buildings. The introduction of these made it neces- REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 21 isaiy to overhaul the entire heatino- plant and to make new and more ample connections with the Smithsonian building. The boilers for- merly used in the latter building will be retained in place to guard against emergencies, and the employment of one set instead of two is expected to result in the econom}' of both fuel and labor. The installation of a complete system of electric-light wiring and fixtures extending to all the exhibition halls as well as to the offices, labo- ratories, and storerooms, Ijcgun the previous year, was finished satis- factorily. Should it be decided to open the building at night, how- ever, an increased appropriation will be required to cover the cost of extra current and the pay of several additional attendants. The quarters allotted to the purposes of a lunch room have been somewhat extended and improved, but this very desirable nniseum adjunct must always remain poorly provided for in the present building. The sundry civil appropriation act for 1903, passed just at the close of the year, contains an item of $5,000 for the preparation of prelim- inary plans for an additional fireproof ])uilding for the National Museum, to cost not over 11,500,000.

ADDITIONS TO THE COLLECTIONS.

The number of accessions received during the jqhv was 1,10!), con- taining an aggregate of 418,872 specimens, two and one-half times as man}^ as were added in 1001, and increasing- the total numljer of spec- imens in the national collections to 5,118,281, as shown b}^ the records.

This figure is, however, below the actual one, as the contents of many packages filled with very small objects are estimated at a nominal figure. The most constant and important sources of accessions are certain bureaus of the Government whose collections are, by law, transferred to the custody of the IMuseum as soon as their study has been com- pleted. Among these bureaus are the Geological Survey, the Fish Commission, the Biological Survey, and the Divisions of Entomology and Plants of the Department of Agriculture, and the Bureau of Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution. Large quantities of valu- able material are received from individuals and private establishments through donation and exchange, and many interesting features are added to the exhibition series through loans or deposits. Lack of funds has prevented the carrying on of field explorations ly meml)ers of the Museum stafl' except to a very limited extent, but scarcely a 3'ear passes without some good returns through this means. "With a maximum annual appropriation of $10,000 for the purchase of specimens, not much can be done toward filling the iniuxmerable gapswhich occur throughout the collections, though many important desiderata are thus supplied from year to j^ear. 22 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, K02.

As a complete list of the accessions for the year is given in Appen- dix II, and the more important ones are described in the reports of the head curators, attention will be called in this connection to only such as are especially noteworthy. The total number of specimens added to the Department of Anthro> pology was 40,083, prehistoric archeology heading- the list with 22,197 specimens, ethnology following with 14,335 specimens, and history and biography standing third with 2.270 specimens. Among tlie important contril)uti(>ns in ethnology were a quantit}" of baskets, weapons, ornaments, and parts of costumes collected by Dr. W. L. Abbott in the Andaman and Nicobar islands, some of which have been described and illustrated by Lieut. W. E. Safford, U. S. Navy, in the Smithsonian Report for 1001; and many other objects, including crania, native ch)thing, lamps, and articles connected with the industries of the Eskimo, obtained in northern Greenland and EUes- mero Land by Mr. Robert Stein, of the U. S. Geological Survej'-, during his Arctic expedition. A number of Guatemalan costumes and of objects illustrating the first steps in the weaving of cotton as practiced in that country, as well as other ethnological material, were received from Mrs. Mary W. Owen, of Panzos, Guatemala. Two interesting donations were a series of weapons captured during the Philippine insurrection, inchiding several Filipino swords of the ordi- nar}^ type, some bolos, and a kris, from Maj. E. L. Hawks, U. S. Volunteers; and a collection consisting principally of the different types of "punal de kris," a weapon carried by the women and children in the Philippine Islands, together with a device formerly used in the Philippine army for decapitating wounded soldiers, from Dr. W. C. Warmsle}^, of Norwich, Connecticut. Another Philippine collection, secured b}^ purchase from Mr. J. N. Harkins, of Calhoun, Georgia, comprises weapons, cooking utensils, tobacco l)oxes, charm belts, models of boats, newspapers, statuettes, and coins. A collection of choice objects brought together by the iati^ Dr. G. Brown Goode, and secured during the year, includes musical instru- ments, Japanese porcelains, domestic utensils, gambling devices, plaques, vases, an incense box, old Kutani ware, Marcusi ware, Cloi- sonne plates and bowls, trays, English chinaware, and ironstone china from China. Other additions to the collection of musical instruments were a small series of instruments used ])y the American Indians and several from European countries, including a n^^ckleharpa obtained by exchange from Mrs. J. Crosl)y Brown, of Orange, New Jersev, and 78 pieces, comprising instruments of the Javanese, Chinese, Tib- etans, Japanese, and Persians; Syrian and Egyptian kettledrums, a Turkish mandolin, etc., presented bj^Dr. R3^an Devereaux, U. S. Army. A complete set of the gold and silver corns of Siam, and a series of Spanish coins minted in Mexico and the Philippine Islands, embracing EEPOET OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 28

the various kinds issued l)y Spain for use in its colonies, were oljtaincd by purchase. Loan collections, chietl}^ of historical interest, received on deposit and exhibited in the main Museum hall, were as follows: Eightj^-two relics of Colonial times and a gold watch worn ])y George Fayette Washington, a nephew of George Washington, from the National Society of Colonial Dames; relics of the War of the Revolution, includ- ing commissions in the CTexas, another by the citizens of New York city, from Mrs. Philip; six swords belonging to Rear-Admiral R. D. Evans, U. S. Navy, including one presenti^l by the State of Iowa and one l)y the crew of the battleship Iowa/ and 31 guns captured at Tientsin, China, com- prising the various types of European and American manufacture now employed in the Chinese army, from Col. W. H. Carter, U. S. Arm5^ A desk and cjuadrant used by Dr. C. F. Hall on his Polaris Arctic expedition, were received as a gift from Miss Anne S. Hall, of Cincinnati, Ohio.- Among the important accessions in archi\>ology were the collection of flint implements, bone utensils, and remains of extinct and recent mammals resulting from the examination of a sulphur spring at Afton, Indian Territor}^, by Mr. W. H. Holmes, and a very large amount of material, comprising pottery, implements of stone, wood, and shell, bones, and human remains, obtained 1)y Dr. AYalter Hough during his investigations in Arizona, partlj' in conjunction with Mr. Peter G. Gates. Al)out 10,000 prehistoric objects from Georgia, including carvings, spearheads, polished stone hatchets, and other articles of stone, ivor}", and pottery, were accjuired from Dr. Roland B. Steiner. A collection of the implements used by the ancient inhal)itants of the arc^a now forming Columbia County, Pennsylvania, consisting of stone articles of domestic utility, stone hatchets, banner stones, arrow points, and spearheads, was presented by Mr, Charles Hummel, of Espey, Penn- sylvania; a large series of prehistoric objects from the Potomac Valley was obtained by i)urchase; and material from the guano caves of Las Cruces, New Mexico, was contributed l)y Mr. J. R. De Mier. Among the accessions in archeology from other countries were over 000 specimens of prehistoric vases, stone figures, carvings, and polished instruments, and figures and dishes in earthenware, from Mexico, received from Mr. E. O. Matthews; an image, mortar, and pestle of stone, from Porto Rico, presented by Mr. Henry Bird; and a series of flint implements and bones from the cavern of Kesserlock, Schafl'hausen, Switzerland, donated by Prof. J. Heierli, of the Uui- versit}' of Zurich. 24 REPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902.

The additions to the technological collections include several of his- torical value, such as pieces of apparatus devised and used by Dr. Elisha .Graj^ in his experiments with harmonic multiple telegraph}^ and with the telephone, received from Mrs. Gray; one of the tin-foil records made by Edison's first phonograph when exhibited before the National Academy of Sciences at the Smithsonian Institution in 1878, contributed by Mr. William J. Rhees; a number of electric-lighting and telephone devices, and one of the early forms of typewriting machines. In the Department of Biology the additions numbered 377,227 speci- mens, of which 324,687 were zoological and 52,540 botanical. Among the zoological divisions the greatest increase was of mollusks, namel}^, 173,262 specimens, followed by insects with 118,292, marine inverte- brates, exclusive of mollusks. with 18,380, mammals with 6,301 specimens, etc. The collections sent b}^ Dr. W. L. Abbott from the East Indies, con- sisting principally of mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects, formed the most important zoological accessions. Of mammals there were 848 specimens, including many new species, from the islands of Andaman, Nicobar, Sumatra, Linga, Sinkep, Johore, and others farther eastward; of birds, over 700 specimens, and of reptiles, a considerable number. The region visited by Dr. Abl)ott is in large part a new field, not previousl}^ represented in the National Museum, and the generous contributions from this indefatigable explorer give the Museum a col- lection from this region which is absolutely unrivaled. Other specimens of mammals received deserving of mention were a fine skeleton of the huge Kadiak (Alaska) bear from Mr. J. H. Kidder, of Boston; African antelopes, monkeys, and birds from Dr. A. Donaldson Smith, of Philadelphia; many skulls of moose, elk, and other deer from Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton, of New York, and a large series of small mammals from Germany and of squirrels from Asia. Among the ornithological material were about 300 Cuban and Porto Rican birds collected by Mr. B. S. Bowdish; a quantity of Cuban birds collected by Mr. William Palmer; a series of East Indian birds from the Ro^^al Museum of Natural History at Leiden, Holland; a large number of Brazilian birds from the Museu Paulista at Sao Paulo, Brazil, besides smaller collections from Mexico, Cocos Island, Hawaii, and Great Britain. Several rare species of birds' eggs were also obtained. The reptilian collection was enriched by the field work in Cuba and Porto Rico of Mr. B. S. Bowdish and Mr. William Palmer, and valuables specimens were also received from Japan, Sumatra, and the Philippine Islands. The Division of Fishes was fortunate in securing, through Messrs. EEPOKT OF ASSISTANT SECRETAKY. 25

Anderson and Price, of Ormond, Florida, the skin of a whale shark {Rhinodon) 13 feet long, the first of its kind recorded as having been taken in the North Atlantic Ocean. The Leland Stanford Junior Uni- versity presented the types of a large number of Japanese fishes described by Dr. David S. Jordan, and also specimens from Panama, Cocos Island, and the Galapagos Islands. A collection of Egyptian fishes from the Nile was contributed by Dr. Bashford Dean, of Columbia University, and interesting material from several sources was trans- mitted by the U. S. Fish Commission. Twelve species of land shells from Cocos Island, cotypes of species described in E. von Marten's work on the mollusks of that localit}', were donated by Mr. William H. Dall. Some 2,000 shells from Lower California were received from Lieut. C. A. Clarke, U. S. Navy, and a number of new species of North American land shells from Mr. J. H, Ferris, of Joliet, Illinois. The largest addition to the Division of Insects comprised about 65,000 specimens collected in Arizona by Mr. E. A. vSchwarz, Cus- todian of the Coleoptera in the Museum, at his own expense, and by him presented to the national collections. The Museum was already indebted to this generous friend for the gift of his extensive private collection previously formed.* Some 7,000 insects of several groups were brought from the Hawaiian Islands by Mr. W. H. Ashmead, and 10,000 specimens of lepidoptera from Colorado by Dr. H. G. Dyar, assisted by Mr. A. N. Caudell. The expeditions on which this material was secured are referred to elsewhere. Ten thousand beau- tifully prepared specimens of butterflies, mainly from Mexico and Central America, have been deposited in the Museum by Mr. Wil- liam Schaus, of Twickenham, England. The Division of Marine Invertebrates received from the U. S. Fish Commission a series of Porto Rican sponges, identified b}^ Dr. 11. V. Wilson, of the University of North Carolina; echini and holothurians from the same locality, identified l)y Prof. H. L. Clark, of Olivet College; the crustaceans and echinoderms collected during the expedi- tion of 1901 to the Hawaiian Islands; and a quantity of material from the marine station at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The extensive col- lection of corals made some 3"ears ago at the Philippine Islands by Prof. J. B. Steere and Prof. Dean C. Worcester was obtained l)y pur- chase. Among- the smaller accessions of importance were a quantit}' of marme invertebrates from EUesmere Land, collected ])y Mr. Kobert Stein; a series of the cave crustaceans of Kentucky and Tennessee from Prof. W. P. Hay; a numl^er of Alaskan crustaceans from Mr. R. S. McGregor, of the U. S. Coast Surve}^ steamer J\(thiindei\ and samples of the Atlantic sea bottom from the U. S. Navy. Through the generous bequest of Dr. Charles Mohr, of Asheville, North Carolina, who died in Jul v. l!>i>l. the Division of Plants became 26 REPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902. possessed of his entire collection of flowering- plants, comprising more

than 18,000 specimens, chiefl}-^ from tlie southern United States. Two 3"ears previously Dr. Mohr had presented to the Museum his collection of about 3,000 specimens of cryptogam ic plants from the same region. From his trip to Central America during- the summer of 1901 Dr. J. N. Rose l)roug-ht l)ack a large number of plants, including specimens from Mount Orizaba and Mount Popocatepetl, and also some living plants, which were deposited in the greenhouse of the Department of Agriculture. A valualile collection from China and the Philippine Islands was contributed by the Royal Botanic Gardens of Kew, Eng- land; over 6,000 plants from various parts of the United States and from Brazil, Guatemala, Mexico, and Porto Rico were transmitted by the Department of Agriculture; and about 1.200 Chinese plants were acquired by purchase. In the Department of Geology the accessions haye been numerous, and in some of its divisions of more than ordinar}' importance. The total number of specimens received was 81.563, nearl}- 90 per cent being fossil invertebrates. Among the rocks and ores transmitted b}- the U. S. Geological Survey were many specimens illustrative of its recent explorations in Colorado, Montana, and Oregon. A large quantity of ore samples from the United States exhibit at the Paris Exposition of 1900 was turned over to the Museum b}^ the Government board. The minerals added comprise many varieties, a number of which were not previously represented. Especially worthy of mention are a fine specimen of native tellurium from Delamar, Nevada; a mag- nificent mass of moss gold on quartz from the "Miner's Dream" mine, Old Chester district, California; characteristic samples of Alaskan gold; fine specimens of molybdenite from Okanogan County, Washington; axinite from Switzerland and Japan; beautiful crystals of tourmaline from Mesa Grande, California; zeolites from Golden, Colorado; and a beautiful mass of the so-called needle ore (Gothite) from Ironwood, Michigan. The following species new to the collection were also obtained: Narsarsukite, percylite, yttrocerite, picroallumogene, bornite (in crystals), espistolite, plumboferritc, ankjdite, sulvanite, thalenite, elpidite, and lossenite. Fine specimens of tourmaline and amethj'st were received as a gift from Dr. L. T. Chamberlain, Honorary Custo- dian of Gems and Precious Stones. The meteorite collection was increased during the year to the extent of 29 falls, and now comprises specimens representing a total of 356 distinct falls. The most valuable addition was a stony iron meteorite from Admire, Kansas. The sources of other important specimens were as follows: Misshof, Courland, Russia; Rafriiti, Switzerland; Cereseti, Piedmont, Ital}-; St. Mesmin, Salles and Lancon, France; Sao Juliao do Moreira, Portugal; Limerick, Ireland; Shalka, Bengal, India; Rhine Villa, South Australia; Weston, Connecticut; Algona, .

Wisconsin; Monroe, North Carolina; Tombigljee, Alal)ania; Tono-a- noxic and Kiowa County, Kansas, and San Ang-elo and Kendall Count}-, Texas. In invertebrate paleontology there were stn'eral very large and important additions. Some 15,000 specimens, including 1<),00() 1)rach- iopods, 4,200 bryozoans. man}' cretaceous forms from New Jerse}", and cystids and crinoids from Maryland, composing the private collection of Mr. Charles Schuchert, Assistant Curator of Stratigraphic Paleontol- ogy, were donated by him to the Museum. Prof, (reorge M. Perdew also presented his entire collection of Silurian and Devonian fossils, about 1,300 specimens, from Cumberland, Marvland. The PI O. Ulrich collection of Ostracoda, containing about 5,000 specimens and the type and figured specimens of 100 species was acCambrian T)rachiopods, which had been tlu^ su])ject of special study by the Director, Dr. Charles D. AValcott. The extensive series of teeth of the elephant and mastodon, obtained by Mr. W. H. Holmes at Afton, Indian Territor}-, associated with prehistoric implements, has proved of great interest, several species being represented. The accessions in paleobotan}- include a valuable collection of fossil plants, comprising- the t3"pe specimens descril)ed ])y Pi'of. Ebenezer Emmons in his American Geology, part G, 1857; 10(> specimens from the auriferous gravels of California, collected by Mr. (J. D.

EXPLORATIONS.

Owing to the very limited means available for tield researches, the amount of work of this character carried on by assistants of the Museum has been relatively small, and most of the expeditions made were only rendered possi))Ie through cooperation with other l)ureaus of the Government or through the generosity of individuals. The Government explorations by which the Museum is most benefited are those conducted by the Geological Survey, the Fish Commission, the Department of Agriculture, and the Bureau of Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution. Officers of the Army and Navy, with the exceptional opportunities now siiorded them, have also been doing- some excellent work for the Museum, especially in the Philippine Islands. In this connection mention should likewise be made of the important explorations which Dr. W. L. Abbott, of Philadelphia, has been carrying on for several years in the East Indies entirely at his own expense, the results being generously donated to this Institution. The latter comprise large collections in zoology and ethnology, whose value is enhanced by the fact of their coming from a region hitherto but poorly represented in any museum in the world. The held work engaged in during the year by meml^ers of the Museum staff was as follows: Mr. W. 11. Holmes, Head Curator of Anthropology, visited Indian Territorv and Missouri, in the former investigating an interesting- deposit of Hint implements and bone utensils associated with the remains of extinct and recent mannuals at Aftou and an ancient chert quarry on the Peoria Indian Reservation, and in the latter examining, near Kimmswick, an extensive deposit of fossil mammals in which human remains were said to occur, and an ancient village site contain- ing stone implements and pottery. The investigations begun by Dr. Walter Hough in Arizona, in June, 1901, were continued through the summer, in conjunction with Mr. Peter G. Gates, of Pasadena, Cali- fornia, and chiefly at the expense of the latter. An archa?ological section was made on a north and south line from Fort Apache to Moki, a distance of about ISO miles, and a large amount of material was obtained. Ethnographical work was also done among the Apache, Navaho, and Hopi Indians, and two new groups of ruins north of Holl)rook were mapped. Mr. W. H. Ashmead, who accompanied an expedition of the U. S. Fish Commission to the Hawaiian Islands in May, 1901, for the pur- pose of making collections of insects and of studying the insect fauna of these new possessions, retui'ned late in the summer with an impor- tant lot of material. Mr. B. S. Bowdish, formerly of the U. S. Armj^ in Porto Rico, was employed for about seven months in procuring zoological specimens, chiefly birds, in Porto Rico, in eastern Cuba, and on Mona Island. Mr. C. L. Pollard and Mr. William Palmer 30 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902.

accompanied Dr. Edward Palmer, of the Department of Agriculture, in the spring of 1902 on an expedition to eastern Cuba, where they obtained an interesting collection of plants, birds, bats, insects, and marine inv(n'tebrat(^s. The station of the Cabot Steam Whaling Compan}^ on the south coast of Newfoundland, was visited during the summer of 1901 by Dr. Frederick W. True, who made a special study of the sulphur-l)ottom whales, ol)tained man}- photographs, and arranged for the preparation and shipment to Washington of the skeleton of a large whale. In a collecting trip to Colorado, Dr. H. G. Dyar, in compan}^ with Mr. A. N. Caudell, of the Department of Agriculture, secured some 10,000 specimens of Lepidoptera, and Mr. E. A. Schwarz made in Arizona, at his own expense, a ver}" large collection of insects. Two months during the spring of 1902 were spent in southern Illinois by Mr. Uobert Ridgway in the interest of the Division of Birds. Botanical explora- tions were carried on in Central America during the summer of 1901 b}^ Mr. J. N. Rose, assisted by Mr. Robert Hay, of Washington. Important collections were made by Mr. Charles Schuchert of Helderbergian fossils in New York and of Cretaceous fossils in New Jersey. Mr. F. W. Crosby obtained for the Museum a remarkably fine series of potholes from the basalt rocks near Snake River Falls, Idaho. Outfits to be used in collecting material for the National Museum have been furnished to the following persons: Mr. F. L. J. Boettcher, Washington, District of Columbia; Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, U. S. Army; Mr. H. Caracciolo, Port of Spain, Trinidad; Capt. Luther S. Kelly, Surigao, Mindanao, Philippine Islands; Prof. O. F. Cook, U. S. Department of Agriculture; Mr. W. W. Simpson, Shanghai, China; Mr. Arthur B. Chilson, New York City; Miss Thora Stejneger, Washington, District of Columbia; Mr. Charles S. Banks, Bacolod, Negros, Philippine Islands; Dr. S. P. Bartlett, Quiuc}", Illinois; and Capt. Wirt Robinson, U. S. Army.

DISTRIBUTION AND EXCHANGi^. OF SPECIMENS.

Six thousand five hundred and three specimens have been sent to specialists for study, in some cases as loans, in others to be worked up for the Museum. The gifts to educational establishments and the material used in making exchanges comprised 30,893 specimens. The gifts have consisted of duplicate series of marine invertebrates and fishes, and of the collections, recently prepared, to illustrate rock weathering and soil formation. A detailed statement of all the material sent out is contained in Appendix III. The following table shows the number of lots of speci- mens sent to eac-h State and foreign countiy: }

RESEARCHES.

The amount of work involved in the care and preservation of the collections leaves to the members of the Museum stafl' comparatively little time for original investigation, though the act founding the Museum directs the classification and arrangement of the specimens placed in its custody. By consulting the Proceedings, Bulletins, and

Annual Reports of the Museum, however, it will be seen that the scientific assistants do contribute extensivel}^ every year toward the advancement of science, each in the line of his special stud}'. The working up of many groups of objects is also intrusted to scientific men not connected with the Museum, who give their services gratui- tously, and many specimens are lent to aid in investigations carried on at the various scientific establishments throughout the countr3\ Type specimens oi' choice objects, however, are only allowed to be taken away from the Museum in exceptional instances, and when their safet}^ can be assured. In its present crowded condition the Museum has very scanty accommodations for visiting students, but all applicants are allowed to avail themselves of such facilities as exist. In the Department of Anthropology the head curator continued his investigations in aboriginal art and the preparation of reports on pot- tery and stone implements. He also gave much time toward the com- pletion of a paper on the Classification and Arrangement of the REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 33

Collections of an Anthropological Miisenni. Prof. O. T. Mason, Curator of Ethnology, made considerable progress in his researches on aboriginal basketry, on which subject he is preparing an important monograph. Dr. Walter Hough, Assistant (yurator, was mainly occu- pied in working up the results of his explorations with Mr. Peter G. Gates in Arizona during the summer of 19(»1. Some of the visiting specialists to the Department of Anthropology, with the objects of tlieir inquiries, were Dr. Franz P)oas, of the AmiM'i- can Museum of Natural History, New York City, mainly the Indian tribes of the northwest coast of America; Dr. J.

A collection of Hopi games and ceremonial objects was lent for study to Mr. Stewart Culin, director of the Free Museum of Science and Art of the University of Pennsylvania. In all divisions of the Department of Biology a consideral)le amount of research work was accomplished. Mr. G. S. Miller, jr., published five papers on mannnals, based mainly on collections recently received from Dr. W. L. Abbott, several notes on nomenclature and classilica- tion, and jointly with Mr. James A. G. Rehn a list of th(^ land mannnals of North America. Dr. M. W. Lj^on, ji*. , completed two papers on ])ats and one on the Venezuelan mannnals, collected by C^apt. Wirt Robinson and himself, and has also studied the skeletons of American hares and pikas.

Good progress has been made l)y INIr. Robert Ridgway on his Manual of the Birds of North and Middh^ America, the first volume of which was published during the year, the second being now nearly ready for the press. The birds from the Andaman and Nicol)ar islands, pre- sented by Dr. Abbott, have been reported on, and those from Linga Island identified l)y Dr. C. W. Richmond. The general collection of reptiles and batrachians has been reidenti- fied, preparatory to their rearrangement in new cases, by Mr. Leonhard Stejneger, who also continued his researches on the reptile faunas of the Antilles and Japan. Sixteen papers on the fishes of Japan, by President D. S. Jordan and Messrs. J. O. Snyder, E.'C Starks, and M. Sindo, were published in the Proceedings, types of the new species described being presented to the Museum. A collection of fishes made in Japan in 1883 and 1885 for the Museum l)y Mr. Pierre L. Jouy was also worked up by Messrs. Jordan and Sn3^der. Dr. Tarleton H. NAT MUS 1902 3 34 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902.

Bean and Mr, B. A. Bean completed reports on the fishes of New York for the State museum, and of Great South Bay, New York, for the New York Fish Commission, and notes b}^ the latter on a whale shark from Florida, a steelhead salmon, and a larval conger eel were pub- lished hy the Museum. Dr. Theodore Gill and Mr. Bean reported on the collection of Egyptian fishes from the Nile presented by Dr. Bash- ford Dean. In the Division of Mollusks the curator, Mr. William H. Dall, has continued his work of revising and summarizing the groups of Amer- ican ])ivalves, both Tertiary and recent. His researches during the year have comprised the preparation of a report on the newly discovered Eocene of Alaska and the revision of the family' Veneridaj, one of the largest and most interesting of all the groups of bivalves. Mr. Paul Bartsch has made good progress in his studies of the Pyramidellidte of the Pacific coast, and Mr. Charles T. Simpson has continued his inves-

tigations on the Naiades of the world. . Mr. James E. Benedict has finished his monograph, begun some time ago, on the Crustacean family Galatheida?. The work completed or in progress by Miss M. J.

In the Department of Geology important investigations regarding meteorites were carried on ))y the head curator and by Mr. Wirt Tas- sin. Assistant Curator of Mineralogy. Two papers by the former relating to the Felix and Admire meteorites were published during the year, and one by Mr. Tassin on a large mass of meteoric iron from Casas Grandes has been prepared. The latter has also continued his studies on the dehydration of the ferric hydrates. Mr. Chai'les Schuchert, Assistant Curator of Paleontology, has giv^en attention to the Silurian and Lower Devonian fossils of the Appa- lachian region and to fossil starfishes. The monograph of the Ste- gosauria, by Mr. Lucas, is still in course of preparation. He has also made studies of certain features in the structure of Ilesperornis and Bajdornis^ and has examined a collection of fossil birds from the Pliocene of Oregon, submitted by Prof. J. C. Merriam. Many specimens in the line of physical and chemical geology, requested for research work, have been supplied to assistants on the U. S. Geological Survey and to others, but the greatest amount of assistance rendered by this department has been given by the division of paleontology. Several eminent paleontologists have visited the Museum for the purpose of examining collections, and to a number of specialists material has been sent for investigation in their own labor- atories. Among those who received aid in this direction were the fol- lowing: Prof. H. F. Gsborn, of the American Museum of Natural History, in connection with his monograph on the fossil mammalian group of Titfinotheres; Dr. O. P. Hay and Mr. J. W.

PROGRESS IN TIIK INSTALLATION OF THE EXHIBITION ( < )LLE("riONS.

The crowded state of most of the exhibition halls has prevented extensive additions to the display collections except in a few direc- tions. Much was accomplished, however, toward iniproxing th(>, con- dition and appearance of these collections l)y small additions and by the substitution in many instances of l)etter material and of a higher class of preparations. Considerable progress was also made toward completing the system of labeling. It had been anticipated that pro- vision would have to be made during the 3'ear for housing the exhibit made b}^ the Museum at the Pan-American ExpositioiL A large part of the material was, however, sent to the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition, but before the close of the year the entire collection was back in Washington. The oljjeets returned directly from Buffalo have been maiidy cared for l)y the transfer to storage of some of the less desirable preparations previously dis- pla3'ed, and by utilizing temporarily a part of the lecture hall. In the Department of Anthropology several of the halls have been thoroughly renovated and in some the collections have been rein- stalled. The cases in tht^. north-west range, devoted to the noithwest coast Indians, and in the Pueblo court, have l)een rearranged, and many have been removed to provide space for the large family groups returned from the Pan-American Exposition. Material from the Philippine and the South Sea Islands has been installed in Kensington cases on the north gallery of the west hall. 40 EEPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902.

The work of arranging the collections of prehistoric archeology according to geographical divisions has been continued, six slope-top cases liaving been fitted up during the j^ear with the following exhib- its: Flint implements from ancient quarr}" sites and workshops in middle Egypt; stone implements, spearheads, stone beads, shell orna- ments and small pottery vessels from the island of Utilla, Honduras; stone beads, carved stone pendants, a copper ax, pottery spindle- whorls, etc., from Mexico; stone implements and utensils, shell imple- ments, pottery vessels, etc., from the islands of St. Kitts, St. Barthol- omew, and Nevis, West Indies; polished stone hatchets from St. Elizabeths Parish, Jamaica; polished stone hatchets, shell implements, and large potter}^ bowls from Jamaica. In the alcove containing the antiquities from western Asia the plaster casts have been rearranged, and casts from Persepolis and a large relief map of Palestine have been added. Thirty-eight wing frames containing photographs supplementing the collections relating to the Jewish religion, Mohammedanism, Brahmanism, and the Greco-Roman religions have been placed on the south gallery of the west hall, and many improvements in this series have been made. Many articles have been added to the collections of American history in the noi'th hall, but this hall has long been overcrowded, and a number of interesting objects which belong to it are still in storage. Extensive improvements have been made in the installation of the collections in mechanical technology, especially in the sections of land and water transportation, and many additions have been made to the collections in electricit3\ The type collection of small firearms of early patterns and of modern breech-loading and magazine guns has been suitably installed and labeled. The series of time-keeping appa- ratus, including- some interesting recent additions, has been ai'ranged in special cases in the east hall. Noteworthy among its contents are a variety of sundials, including one used l)y the Montagnais Indians of Canada—a pole set upright in the snow—several rare sunglasses, a fine Persian astrolobe, a German time-indicating lamp, a water clock of the seventeenth century, and ^vatches dating from the beg-inning of the fifteenth century. Among the additions in the Department of Biology were many finely mounted specimens of American manmials and birds, a part of the display at the Pan-American Exposition, the former including a large specimen of Steller's sea lion, an Alaskan moose, a British Colum- bian caribou, a musk ox, a glacier and a Kadiak bear, two wild sheep {Ovis dalli and O.

In the southeast Museum range, allotted to reptiles, batrachians, and fishes, some improvements have been made, several new cases being EEPOET OF AiSSIiSTANT SE0KP:TAKY. 41 provided, many new preparations rcplacinj^- older ones, and a number of large forms not previously represented being added. Among the latter were a cast of the King Co})ra snake with accessories represent- ing the edge of an Indian jungle, a very large Mata-mata turtle from the Amazon Rivei-, a hugh alligator snapper, the largest of the North American watei" turtles, se^'eral boas, lizards, toads, and frogs. An exhibit of lizards will be arranged in some of the wall cases. Among the additions to the exhibition series of tishes was the cast of a large white, or man-eater, shark. The permanent installation of insects in the hall lecenlly assigned to this group at the western end of the Smithsonian building has pro- gressed to the extent of mounting al^out 2,700 specimens in 21) of the standard boxes occupying several upright cases. Tn tlu^ labeling of this series attention has especially been called to speci(\s of peculiar habits and to those of most interest to the puV>lic. A partial set of the colored plates of dowering plants, pul)lished in the third edition of Blanco's Flora de Filipinas, has been placed on exhibition in the Division of Botany. To the display of vertebrate fossils have been added partial skele- tons of the large Trlceratops prorsii^, of the carnivorous dinosaur,

Allomurus, and of the toothed bird, [lesperonuH r out of the 750 species known from the (Cincinnati formation. The collections relating to physical and chemical geology ha\'e, in part, been thoroughly overhauled and rearranged, and about loo pho- tographs, maps, and other pictures illustratixc of these subjects ha\"e been placed on the adjoining walls. The building of galleries in the south-west range made it necessary to remove for a time the collection of minerals, which at the close of the year was being reinstalled after careful renovation.

The Museum correspondence, which has always been very hetivy, increases in volume from year to year. Outside of ordiu'iry routine matters, it is occasioned for the most part 1)y requests for informa- tion, coming" from all parts of the world and relating to a wide range of sul)jects. Specimens, often in large lots, are transmitted for iden- titication, and (juestions are sul)mitted in regard to all branches of knowledge falling within the Museum's scc^pe. The requests also have reference to Museum administration, the building up and main- tenance of collections, the construction of cases, the installation, label- ing, and cataloguing of spec-imens, and, in fact, no topic connect(Hl with a great museimi or suggested by its existence escapes notice. In accordance with the time-honored custom of the Smithsonian Institu- tion, every comnuuiication made in good taitli and a[)pi"opriate to t)e considered is fully answered, even though this necessitates incessant demands upon the niendjers of the scientitic stafl', whose regular duties are quite sufficient to occupy their entires time. The muuber of lots of specimens determined and reported upon during the year at the requ<'st of correspondents was nearly TOO. A considerable proportion of the work of furnishing information is accomplished through the medium of Museum })ul)lications, of which more than 2U,00(» volumes and pamphlets wen^ distributed during the year, besides the sendings to regular correspondents. As the Museum has no facilities for making chemical analyses, requests for work of this kind have to be refused.

PUBLICATIONS.

The most noteworthy publication of the year was the first volume of a monographic series by Mr. Robert Ridgway on the Birds of North and Middle America, which appeared in the autumn of 11)01. This volume describes the species of the family Fringillida' or Finches. The families Tanagridae, Icteridie, Coerebidaj, and Mniotiltida', or Tanagers, Troupials, Honey-creepers, and Wood-warblers will })e cov 44 KEPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902. ered by the second volume, now in press. Mr. Ridgway has given much time and care to the preparation of this important work. Volume XXIII of the Proceedings was issued in February, 1902.

It contains 35 papers (numbered from 1206 to 12-1:(», inclusive), 24 of which Avere written by members of the Museum stall' and 11 by cor- respondents and collaborators. Eight of the papers relate to fishes, mainly Japanese, 7 to insects, and the remainder to fossil vertebrates, reptiles, recent and fossil moUusks, marine invertebrates, and plants. Proceedings papers 1241 to 1274, inclusive, comprising Volume xxiv, have been published in the form of separates. A most useful work produced during the year, constituting Bulletin 51, was a list of the publications of the Museum, being- a catalogue of all volumes and separate papers issued from 1875 to 1900, with an index b}' titles. It was prepared by Mr. R. I. Geare. The papers comprising the general appendix to the annual report for 1900 have been issued in separate form, but the volume itself was not received from the Government Printing" Office until after the close of the year. The opening- article, by Mr. W. H. Holmes, is based on anthropological investigations by the author in California. Prof. O. T. Mason descri])es some aboriginal American harpoons. Mr. Charles K. Wead, of the United States Patent Office, contributes an article on tiic history of nnisical scales, and Dr. Walter Hough one on Hopi ceremonial pigments. A sketch of the history of ceramic art in China, with a catalogue of the Hippisley collection of Chinese porce- lains, is reprinted, with some additions, from the report of 1888. The author, Mr. Alfred E. Hippisley, commissioner of the imperial mari- time customs sen-vice of China, has had on deposit in the National Museuu) for several j^ears a most interesting and valuable collection of Chinese porcelains, and is well fitted to write upon this subject. A catalog-ue of the collection of gems in the National Museum, by Mr. Wirt Tassin, contains descriptions of the gem minerals and their prop- erties, comparative tables of the colors and distinguishing characters of the principal varieties, and ai'ticles on the cutting of gems, their artificial formation, sup])osed mystical properties, etc. A descriptive catalogue of the meteorite collection, by the same author, is designed partly to facilitate the exchange of specimens. Part N of Bulletin No. 39, entitled Directions for Collecting and Preparing study Specimens of small Mammals, by Mr. Gerrit S. Miller, has been reprinted in a revised edition, with abstracts in Ger- man, French, and Spanish. Directions for collectors of American Basketry, by Prof. O. T. Mason, has been added to the same bulletin as Pait P. A (drcular designed to accompany a series of collections prepared by the Museum, illustrating rock weathering and soil formation, and .

Mr. '^P. W. Smillie, the photographer of the Museum, reports that 1,621 negatives, 2,890 silver prints, 378 platinum prints, 32 lantern slides, and 2,060 blue prints were made during the year. A part of his time was also allotted to the Zoological Park, the Bureau of Inter- national Exchanges, and the Astrophysical Observator3\ Mr. Smillie was appointed chairman of the jury of awards on pho- tography for the Pan-American Exposition, causing his absence from Washington during about a month of the summer of 1901. While serving in this capacity he made a large number of photographs of different exhil)its for the (rovernment Board of the Exposition.

TAXIDERMY AND OSTEOLOGICAL WORK.

Fifty-two maumials, including a specimen of Steller's sea lion, were mounted during the year and added to the exhibition series. Eighty- tive si)ecimcns in the tiesh, from the National Zoological Park and other sources, were received and properly treated. Between 300 antl 400 of the small skins in vats were freed from grease and made over into suitable form for permanent preservation. These included a number of type specimens. Three new groups of game birds were completed during the .year, and 38 large birds and 12 smaller ones were also mounted. Fifty-one skins were prepared from birds received in the flesh, and 112 specimens in the exhibition series were dismounted and made into skins. One thousand and sixty-four skulls of mammals, mostly of large size, were cleaned b}^ the Museum preparators, and more than 2,100 small skulls were cleaned by contract.

COOPERATION OF THp: EXECUTIVK DEPARTMENTS OP THE

Valuable assistance has continued to be received from various depart- ments and bureaus of the Government. Officers of the Army and Nav}" stationed in the Philippine Islands and in other of the iumv pos- sessions have made important contrilnitrons, having in some cases l)een furnished with special outfits to facilitate their work of collecting. Representatives of the Department of State abroad have also ))een instrumental in securing interesting material. Special aclvnowledg- ments are due to the Quartermaster's Department of the Army for many courtesies in connection with the transportation of specimens and outfits to and from distant points. Th(A relations of the ]\ruseum to the IT. S. (Tcological Survey, the U. S. Fish Conunission, the P)io- logical Survey, and the Divisions of Entomology and Botany of the Department of Agriculture, and the Bureau of American Ethnology, in regard to collections transmitted, are referred to elsewhere. Through the courtesy of the Secretaiy of the Na\'y, Lieut. W. PI SaflFord. U. S. Navy, who was stationed for some time on the island of Guam, was permitted to sj^end several months at the Museum during the winter of 1901-2 in classifying and labeling collections of anthro- pology from the South Sea Islands.

ORGANIZATIOX AND STAFF.

The organization of the Museum comprises an administrative office and three scientitic departments, as follows: Anthropology, with 8 divisions and -t sections: Biology, Avith divisions and 1:2 sections; and Geology, with o divisions and 3 sections. Besides th(^ o head curators in charge of the departments, the scientitic stati' at the close of the year consisted of 17 curators, 12 assistant curators. 14 custodians. 11 aids, i associates, and '2 collabo- rators, making a total of 63 persons, of whom, however, only about one-half received compensation from the Museum. Of the remainder, who are serving in a V(dunteer or honorary capacity, the majority were attached to other scientitic bureaus of the Government. The tleatli of Dr. Thomas Wilson, which occurred on May 1, 11*02, deprived the ^Museum of one of its most earni>st and helpful workers. Widely distinguished for his studies and contrilnitions on a variety of anthropological subjects. Dr. Wilson's interests lay chiefly in the field of prehistoric archeology, and from 1880 he had charge, as curator, of the extensive and important collections of this division of the Museum. Mr. William \'. Cox, who was appointed to the ^Museum in 1879, and has l)een its chief clerk since 188ii. with important duties in con- nection with all the recent expositions in which the Government has participated, severed his official relations with the Museum in Feb- ruary. 1002, greatly to the regret of his associates, to accept a more responsible position elsewhere. The duties of this office have been somewhat modified to better consolidate the administrative work, and the title of its chief officer has been changed to administrative assist- ant. This position was filled by the appointment of ]Mr. W. de C. Ravenel, previously the assistant in charge of fish t-ulture in the U. S. Fish Commission, who has joined to a long experience in the adminl^- trative work of that Bureau a familiarity with the preparation and installation of Government exhibits. Mr. George B. Turner has been made chief taxidermist, and Mr. W. C. Phalen an aid in the Department of Geology. Dr. Peter Fire- man, chemical geologist, resigned on September 0.

Dr. Tiiomas Wilson. Curator of the Division of Prehistoric Arche- ology in the National Museum, died on ^lay 4, 1'.HI2. He was born in New Brighton, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, on July is, 1S32. H(^ li\'ed for a time in Ohio. Illinois, and Missouri, and later in Iowa, enlisting in the Second Iowa Cavalry at the beginning of the civil war. He served in the cavalry and infantrv ])ranches of the sei'vice until 1864 and was mustered out with tin; rank of colonel. For a number of 3'ears he was engaged in the practice of law, from which he retired in 1881 to enter the consular service of the United States. He rei)re- sented this country at Ghent, Nantes, and Nice. His service as consul extended over a period of tivo 3'ears, after which he spent two years in traveling. During his residence a])road Dr. Wilson devoted a great deal of attention to the study of archeology, visited many of the localities where ancient treasures were to be found, and had opportunitiivs for meeting and working with several of th(; noted anthrop

Asheville, North Carolina, July 17, 1901. Although most of his life was spent in the calling of a druggist, jet Dr. Mohr devoted much of his time to the study of plants, and it is chiefly as a botanist that he is known to the scientific world. He came to the United States in 1848, having previously traveled to South America. He stopped first in Cincinnati, but early the next 3'ear started for California. In 1857 he settled at Mobile, Alabama, where he was engaged in the drug busi- ness for many years. After making numerous smaller contributions, he finally gave his entire private herbarium, comprising some 20,000 specimens, to the Smithsonian Institution, the cryptogamic plants hav- ing come as a gift about two years before his death, and the flowering plants as a bequest. This collection has now been installed and is accessible to students of Southern plants, in which it is especially rich. Dr. Mohr was the author of various botanical papers, but his crown- ing work was Plant Life of Alabama, which was published posthu- mously. It was the one regret of his last days not to see this work finished, but he corrected all of the proofs and died only two weeks before the volume was issued. Personally Dr. Mohr was a charming and lovable man. EEPORTS OF HEAD CURATORS.

REPOET ON THE DEPARTMENT OP ANTHROPOLOGY FOR THE YEAR 1901-2.

By William II. Holmes,

IL'iid Citrafof.

During the year a number of changes in the personnel of the Department have taken place. Dr. Thomas Wilson, curator of the Division of Prehistoric Archeology, died on May 4, 1902, after an illness of several months. On May 1 Mr. Paul Brockett was trans- ferred from the position of clerk to the Head Curator, to the lil)rary of the Smithsonian Institution, and Mr. Paul Beckwith, Aid in the

Division of History and Biography, was designated to till his place temporarily. In June, Miss Louise A. Rosenbusch, stenographer, wcs transferred from the office of the curator of Prehistoric Arche- ology to that of the Head Curator.

WORK OF THE TEAR.

The work of the yenv in the Department has been carried forward with all possible dispatch. The extensive exhibit shown at the Pan- American Expositi(Hi in Buffalo has been returned and reinstalled in the Museum, constituting a very considerable addition to tlu^ exhibi- tion series. -The exhibit sent to Charleston was returned about the close of the year and will ))e placed on exhibition at an early date. The energies of the Department have been in a great measure expended on the work of reinstalling the exhibits in halls in which galleries were l)uilt' during the year. The occasion was taken to rearrange cases, perfect the ( lassification, and improve thi^ instalhi- tion; and the close of tiu^ yeav tinds the exhibition series of the department nnich enlarged and in every way improved. The new galleries afford nmch additional space for laboratory purposes and for storage. colle(;tions.

The collections received during the yenv are of average importance, and a number of them are enumerated in the following list:

2. Explorations in Arizona, begun during the preceding j^ear by Dr. Waiter Hough, Assistant Curator, Division of Ethnology, yielded a large body of material (2,200 specimens), consisting of pottery, implements of stone, wood, shell ornaments, and human remains.

3. Explorations in Arizona conducted jointly by Mr. Peter G. Gates and the National Museum, the latter represented by Dr. Walter Hough, yielded large collections of archeological material. One-half of the product, consisting of 701 specimens, was turned over to the Museum. These collections are to be regarded as in large part a gift to the Museum by Mr. Gates, as the expenses of the field work were defrayed by him.

The various collections received by the Department have been cata- log'ued and cared for as in previous years. Much attention has been given to the important work of destro3dng insect pests, and the Department is now practically rid of them. The cataloguing- is quite up to date, and considerable work has been done on the recataloguing of collections imperfectly entered in previous years. In the laboratories much work has been accomplished. Numerous casts of specimens have been made, a large number of vases have been mended, and copies and models of many objects pertaining to the Division of Technology have been constructed.

INSTALLATION OF EXHIBITS.

As already indicated, much ])rogress has been made in the work of installing exhi))its. Not only have the Exposition exhil)its been placed, but several of tlic halls have been entirel}" reinstalled and the display made more attractive and instructive. La])eling has received especial attention and is more nearly complete than at any previous period. 8TOKA(!E.

Owing to the crowded condition of the Museum, a large bod}' of material, comprising a considerable percentage of valuable specimens, has been stored in outside buildings. During the year an attempt has been made to iind space for the more important stoi-age material within the Museum building, and nothing is now sent out which has any special value or which could not readily be replaced in case of loss.

FIELD WORK.

The field work of this j^ear has not been extensive. Dr. Walter Hough continued explorations in Arizona b(>giui during the preceding ilEPOKT OF ASSISTANT SECRETAKY. 57 year, having taken up on June 1 of the preceding year the joint explo- ration arranged between the Mu.seuni and Mr. P. (i. (iate.s, wlio fur- nished the equipment. This portion of the season was spent in making an areheological section from Fort Apache to Molvi, about ISO mik^s on a north and south line, with good results. Ethnological work was done among the White Mountain Apaches, the Navahos, and Hopi, After the close of the Museum-Ciates expedition, Dr. Hough mapjx'd two new groups of ruins north of Holbrook, returning to AVashington on September 22. During the season 00 ruins were visited and 18 excavated, many plans of ruins were made, and ?).(•(>(» specimens collected. The Head Curator spent a few weeks in areheological exploratioii in the Middle West. A visit was made to Kimmswick, Missouri, where examinations were made of an extensive deposit of fossil mammals with which human remains were said to be associated, and to an ancient village site where numerous specimens of pottery and stone implements were secured. Later, collections were secured from an ancient chert quarry on the Peoria Indian Reservation, Indian Terri- tor}^, and important explorations were made at Afton, Indian Terri- tory. Reports had reached the Museum from Dr. R. H. Harper, of Afton, of the occurrence of Hint implements in association with fossil animals in a sulphur spring near that place. The spring w^as cleaned out and about 800 very interesting implements were obtained, as well as a great num])er of remains of fossil and recent animals. It was determined that the fossil bones Avere connected with the original deposits through which the spring rises and that the spring had been made a place of sacrifice by the Indian tri])es. and various articles had been cast in as offering-^s to their gods. The Head Curator also made a short trip into Pennsylvania, examin- ing ancient soapstonc^ ipiarries near Christiana, Lancastei' (V)unty. and rhyolite (piarries in South Mountain, Adams C'ounty. Dr. W. L. AI)bott has continued his exploration in the East Indies, and has forwarded important ethnological collections from Ja\ a and elsewhere. KESEAKCHES.

The Head Curator continued his investigations in several branches of aboriginal art, papers on potter}^ and stone implements being under way. Particular attention Avas given to the completion of a paper on the "Classification and arrangement of the collections of an anthro- pological museum." Prof. O. T. Mason, Curator of the Division of Ethnology, has con- tinued his investigations on aboriginal basketry, and has devoted much time to the preparatk)n of an extensive work on this subject. Assist- ant Curator Walter Hough was engaged largely, after his return from 58 KEPOfiT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902. the field of his explorations in Arizona, in preparing- a catalogue of his extensive collection, and writing his report. Lieut. W. E. Safford, U. S. Navy, has prosecuted studies for a num- ber of months, g'iving especial attention to the ethno-botany of Guam, and his paper is approaching- completion. The papers l)ased on Museum material, published during the year by the Head Curator, Professor Mason, Dr. Hough, and Dr. Thomas Wilson, are mentioned l)y title in the Bibliograph}^ (Appendix IV). REPORT ON THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY FOR THE YEAR 1901-2.

By Frederick \V. True, Head Curator.

The work of the fiscal 3^ear l!)01-2 has heen characterized by con- tinued effort ak)no- lines already laid down rather than by new departures. The collections have grown steadily and the scientitic investigation of new accessions has progressed continuously. The zoological collections of the National Museum liave grown to iimnense size, rivaling, and in some cases surpassing, those of any other museum. Of insects there are in the Government collection nearly 1,500,000 specimens; of recent shells lunirly 1,000,000 speci- mens; besides at least 500,000 specimens of other acpiatic invertebrates, about 200,000 specimens of fishes, more than 6(),()()0 1>irds' eggs, 130,000 specimens of ])irds, more than 40,00(» reptiles and batrachians, and between 75,000 and 100, ()()() specimens of mauunals, including the collection of the Biological Survey, U. S. Department of Agriculture.

The Pan-American Exposition (opened May 1, 1901, closi^d Novem-

ber 2, 1902) continued until the end of the tirst third of the tiscal year covered by this report, and was followed by the South Carolina Expo-

sition (opened Deceml)er 1, 1901, closed May 31, 1902), which con- tinued until the close of the year. At both of these expositions exhibits were made by the divisions dealing with vertel)i'ates. A full account of the Pan-American exhibit will be found in the Amuial Report for 1900-1901, pages 177-231.

EXHIBITION (U)LL?:CTIONS.

The principal improvements were in the halls devoted tt) the exhibi- tion of insects and reptiles and batrachians. At the close of the last year there were on exhibition 73 reptile casts and 11 batrachian casts. The number of the former has been increased to 78 and of the latter to 13. These figures do not give a just idea of the real improvement made. Three new cases were provided and mau}^ inferior casts were replaced by better ones, and several very large forms not previously represented were added. These include a king cobra snake, with accessories representing the edge of an Indian jungle; a vevy large 59 6U REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1901

Amazon River turtle {Podocnemys)\ a niata-mata turtle, one of the most remarkable of existing- animals; a huge alligator snapper, the largest of North American fresh-water turtles; several large boas and other snakes, together Avith \arious lizards, toads, and frogs. The series is far finer than ever ))efore shown in the Museum. The space available has now been practically all taken up, except certain cases against the walls, in which it is proposed to make an exhibit of speci- mens of lizards in formalin of species too small to cast. The entire series shown, with but one or two exceptions, is American, and chiefly North American. The reptile faunas of the Old World can not be shown in the present restricted quarters. An opportunity was found in April to pro(;eed with the mounting of a new insect exhibit, for which preparations were long under way. With the aid of special assistants, the entire series ol North American beetles was mounted, and in June placed on exhibition. This series occupies 20 standard exhibition boxes and comprises a))out 2,700 insects, representing (582 species. The collection is very carefully installed and labeled, and in the case of species having habits or pecul- iarities of more than ordinary interest the facts are briefly mentioned in untechnical language. Work on other orders was progressing' favorably at the close of the j^ear. In other classes than those mentioned the improvement of the exhi- bition series was less marked, though many fine mounted specimens of Amej'ican mammals and birds exhibited at Bufl'alo were added. The portion of the Pan-American exhibit sent to the Charleston Exposition was returned just at the close of the fiscal year. The chief taxider- mist, with the occasional help of one assistant, completed about 50 mammals for exhibition during the j^ear, including one very large speci- men, a Steller's sea-lion. This spe.'imen had originally been planned for the Pan- American Expositic -^ bi t coukl not b(^ exhibited for lack of space. It replaced a similar irtounted specimen which had been on exhil)ition over twenty-five years and had deteriorated. Mention of the principal vertebrates exhibited at Bufl'ak) and now in the Museum will be found in my previous report (p. ()H) and in (lie A})pendix to the

Museum Report for 1901 (p. 1S5). The two large wall maps in the ])ird hall, representing the faunal areas of the globe, were repainted and lettered, so as to be more intel- ligible to the general public. Three new groups of American game birds Avere added to the series begun last year, but the work could not be continued further for lack of funds. A fine skeleton of the Kadiak bear, presented by Mr. J. H. Kidder, and a skeleton of the giant salamander of Japan, presented by Dr. C. Ishikawa, were added to the exhibition series of the division of comparative anatom3\ New wall cases for the south end of the south hall were under construction during the year, but not completed. —

REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 61

The descriptive labels for vertebrates prepared for the Buffalo Exposition were made use of in the permanent exhil)ition series as far as practicable. The great series of labels of all kinds which had accuujulated in the editor's office and was transferred to the custody of the head curator some time ago, was examined ])y the curators of tii€ .-f^voral divisions, and such labels as were no longer of use wei'c picked out and c^/N^arded. Typewritten labels, many of them descrip- ive, were prepared for the new exhibition series of North American Coleoptera. KXPLORATIONS.

As noted in last year's report, Mr. W. H. Ashmcad, Assistant Cura- tor, Division of Insects, accompanied the U. S. Fish Commission expe- dition to the Hawaiian Islands for the purpose of collecting insects.

He left Washington in May, lOOl, and returned in September, I'.HJl, having been in the islands about three months. An expedition to Arizona for the purpose of collecting insects was undertaken by Mr. E. A. Schwarz, Custodian of Coleoptera, at his own expense. He also paid the expenses of an assistant, and very generously turned over to the Museum the large collection made. He was in the held from May to August, 1901. Dr. H. G. Dyar, Custodian of Lepidoptera, accom- panied l)y Mr. A. N, Caudell, who was detailed from tlie LT. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture, made a very successful expedition to Colorado for collecting Lepidoptera. The work occupied a1)out two months from May, 1901, to July, 1901. By invitation of Dr. Edward Palmer, Messrs. C. L. Pollard and William Palmer, of the ]\Iuseum, spent two months in eastern Cuba in the spring of 1902, and collected plants, birds, bats, insects, and marine invertebrates. The Head Curator vis- ited the whaling station of the Cabot Steam Whaling Company on the south coast of Newfoundland in June, 1901, and obtained nuich valu- able information regarding the Sulphurbottom whales there taken, and many photographs. He made arrangements for obtaining a skel eton of one of these large animals at a later date. B}" arran<,'; -ment with the War Department, Mr. B. S. Bowdish, a private isi the Army, was detailed to make collections of birds in Porto Ei';o, Mona Island and eastern Cul)a. This work was carried on in the winter of 1901-02 and occupied al)out seven months. Late in the fiscal year Mr. R. Ridgway, Curator, Division of Birds, spent two months in .southern Illinois in collecting birds for t'lG Museum. In the summer of 1901

Dr. J. N. Rose, Assistant Cr <,tor, Division of Plants, accompanied by Mr. Robert Hay, assistant, spent ten weeks in central Mexico in

botanical explorations. He :: icended Mount Orizaba and Mount Popo- catepetl, and from each mi untain obtained a large series of plants, some of which were broi ghc. living to the United States and deposited in greenhouses of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, where they are now gTowing. 62 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902.

ACCESSIONS.

The largest accessions of the 3'ear were Dr. W\ L. Abbott's East Indian collections; a collection of insects from Arizona, comprising 65,000 specimens, made by Mr. E. A. Schwarz; the bequest of Dr. Charles Mohr, consisting of 18,500 flowering plants, and the collec- tions of invertebrates transmitted bj^ the U. 8. Fish Commission. Dr. W. L. Abbott continued his zoological explorations in the East Indies during the year, making numsrous interesting discoveries, and sending to the Museum great numbers of valuable specimens, espe- cially manmials, ])irds, reptiles, and ijisects. Dr. Abbott's field of operations during the j'ear was in the South China Sea, between Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, and Borneo. Three months (January to March, 1901) he spent in exploring the Andaman and Nicobar islands, accompanied by Mr. C. B. Kloss. From May 26 to August

7, 1901, he visited various groups of small islands immediately east of Singapore and also the coast and rivers of Johore. In August and September, 1901, he explored the Indragiri River, Sumatra, and the neighboring islands Linga and Sinkep. Linga Island had been visited b}" him previously in July, 1899, on which occasion he was accompanied by Mr. C. B. Kloss. From the Andaman and Nicobar islands Dr. AlJ:)ott sent to the Museum 278 mammals, among which were specimens of 15 new species. This collection is by far the most complete ever brought together from these islands and greatly increased the knowledge of their mannnal fauna. In Sumatra and Linga and Sinkep islands 166 mammals were obtained, including representatives of 11 new species. Among the latter was a new pig related to the Borneo pig {Sics har-

hatiis)^ and named Siis o! by Mr. G. S. Miller, ji-. It is one of the most interesting of Dr. Al)bott's many discoveries in the Malay I'egion. From Johore and various islands to the eastward Dr. Abbott obtained 401 mammals for the Museum. This material has not yet been thoroughly examined, but is known to be extremely valuable. The great collections of mammals of the East Indies resulting from Dr. Al)b()tt''s extensive and long-continued ex})lorations are unrivaled, and the mammal fauna of the region which they cover can now be studied to better advantage in the National Museum than in any other establishment. Besides mammals, Dr. Abbott collected over 700 birds, a large series of eggs of the Nicobar Island Megapode, Megapodius nicaharensis^ reptiles and batrachians, and numerous insects. The reptiles and batrachians are the first the Museum has received from the Nicobar and Andaman islands. Dr. A, Donaldson Smith presented 6 African antelopes and 2 mon- keys, and also 81 birds, from Somaliland, the first from that region which the Museum has received. REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY, 63

Amono- the important specimens received from the Fish Commis- sion were the types of the tishes MisticJdhi/s ficwnen.si.s^ of the Phil- ippine Islands, and fuil(>j>/(!(i.s fafuwr/, together with the sponges collected in Porto Rico in 181»!>, and identitied l>y Dr. H. V. Wilson, and the holothurians and echini from the same locality, identitied ])y Prof, H. L. Clark. Added to these were the crustaceans and cchino- derms collected by the Commission in the Hawaiian Islands in l!)01; about 1,500 specimens of common species of invertel»rates from Woods Hole, Massachusetts, intended to be made up into sets for distribution to educational institutions; about 1,300 shells and 2,Tr)(l packages of miscellaneous invertelirates of other classes which had accumulated in the laboratories of the Commission; and seven lots of craytishes from Maine, The Commission also transmitted a collection of about 300 plants made l)y Messrs. Evermann and Clark in Indiana. The Museum having agreed to publish a series of papers l)y Presi- dent I). S. Jorda)i, the Leland Stanford Junior University presented a collection of Japanese tishes, including-the types of species described by Dr, Jordan. Collections of fishes from Panama and Cocos and Galapagos Islands, and of crustaceans from the Hopkins-Stanford Galapagos Expedition of 189S-00 were also presented. The Museum purchased from Prof. Pashford Dean some excellently preserved reptiles and invertebrates from Negros Island, Philippine Islands, and Professor Dean presented a collection of fishes from the Nile River, A collection of about 300 birds, including many species of importance, was obtained for the IVIuseum l)y Mr. B. S. Bowdish in Cul»a and Porto Rico (see Explorations, p. 61), Mr, Bowdish also obtained several exceedingly rare reptiles, and one new species from these islands, and collected reptiles in Mona Island, from whicli the Museum had not previously received specimens. Other collections of Cuban reptiles and birds were ol)tained by Mr, William Palmer during a two months' sojourn at the eastern end of the island. MmnmaU.—A. remarka])ly fine skeleton of an adult Kadiak (Alaska) bear was presented b}^ Mr. J, H, Kidder, The skeleton conveys an even more vivid impression of the strength of this huge beast than the mounted skin recently added to the collection, l\Ir, Harry Pidgeon presented an excellent series of skins of the wild sheep of the north- ern Rocky Mountains, Oris utoneL The Museum was fortunate in obtaining numerous additions to its collection of bats during the year, amounting in all to about 260 specimens, of which 35 were from the Philippine Islands; 58 specimens were the gift of Mr. Charles E. Ashcroft, jr., U, S, Weather Observer at Roseau, Dominica Island, West Indies. Dr, E, A, Mearns, U, S, Army, having received word of the strand- ing of a small whale near Newport, Rhode Island, notified the Museum 64 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902. of the occurrence, and a preparator was detailed to obtain the skeleton. Through the good offices of Capt. James Sodermann the specimen was held for the Museum. It proved to be the ziphioid, or bottlenose, whale, Ziphiuhi cavvro^tri^. The specimen was adult, and the skeleton is I'emarkably line. The Museum obtained by purchase about 275 specimens of obscure and little-known species of small mammals from Germany; 104 mam- mals of Ecuador, including- an undescribed species of native cat, named Fells xquatorialls^ by Dr. E. A. Mearns, and 60 Asiatic squirrels especially needed for comparison with Dr. Abbott's collection. Four- teen moose skulls, 8 elk skulls, and 12 skulls of other deer were obtained at a nominal price from Mr. E. Thompson Seton. Birds. —A valuable series of East Indian birds, 281 in number, which are of special use for comparison with Dr. Abbott's collection, was obtained from the Royal Museum of Natural History, Leiden, in exchange. A series of 161 Brazilian birds was obtained by exchange with the Paulista Museum, Silo Paulo, Brazil. Mr. Anastasio Alfaro presented 12 birds from Cocos Island, a locality seldom visited. This sending includes several specimens of the rare sparrow Cocornls agassizi.

Mr. R. D. Lusk presented a specimen of th(^. thick-billed parrot, Bhyn- chojpsitta paciiyrhyncha^ obtained in Arizona. This parrot had not been taken previously within the limits of the United States. Mr. H. W. Ilenshaw presented 14 rare Hawaiian ])irds, and Mr. A. Boucard added K! humming ])irds in continuation of his earlier donations in 1895 and 1896. Mr. J. H. Riley ga,ve the Museum a collection of 286 birds of Maryland and Virginia for use in exchanges. The Museum purchased a select collection of 105 much-needed Mexi- can birds. Btrds' eggs. —The great collection of birds' eggs received several important accessions during the year, besides those presented by Dr.

Abbott and already mentioned (p. 62). Dr. Ralph added to his numer- ous donations of previous years a collection containing several sets of eggs of the rare Everglade Kite, RostrJiaums sociabills. A series of eggs from Texas, including those of Yireo atricapillus., was given by Mr. H. P. Attwater. A collection presented by Mr. J. P. Bab1)itt contained eggs of Larus sc/ustasagus, a species of whic^h the Museum lacked specimens. The Biological Surve}'^ of the Department of Agriculture transmitted a number of sets of eggs from different parts of the United States, including two sets of eggs of the Tennessee warbler, of which the Museum had no representative previously. A small collection of rare eggs from Arizona was purchased. Reptiles and hatrachians. —An excellent skeleton of the Giant Sala- mander of Japan was presented by Dr. C, Ishikawa. RErORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 65

Mr. Robert T. Matthews presented two very rare snakes from Nica- ragua, and Rev. Cyrus A. Clark an equally rare Japanese species, with some other specimens. The skeleton of a large leather-back turtle was donated by Mr. W. E. West. This was a very welcome accession, as the skeleton in the exhibition series of the Museum was not perfect. The Museum made a number of purchases of reptiles during the year, of which the most important were 50 specimens from Sumatra and vicinity for comparison with Dr. Abbott's collections, and 137 especially well-preserved specimens from Costa Rica to strengthen the Museum collections from that countrj^ which, though extensive, are not in the best condition. The material obtained from the Philip pine Islands and from Porto Rico has already l)een referred to (see P-62). FisJi.es. — Besides the collections obtained from the U. S. Fish Com- mission, Stanford University, and Professor Dean, already mentioned, the Museum secured through the good offices of Messrs. Anderson and Price, of Ormond, Florida, the skin of a whale shark, Rhinodon, about 13 feet long, the first ever taken in the North Atlantic. Jlollusks. —The principal donations in this class were 2,000 shells from Lower California, presented b}^ Lieut. C. A. Clark, U. S. Navy; 35 specimens of new and rare species of land shells from various localities in the United States, presented by J. A. Ferris; a collection containing specimens of 12 species of land shells from Cocos Island, representing cotypes of species described in Van Marten's work on the shells of the island. These were obtained by Mr. William H. Dall. Insects. —The lunuljer of insects added to the collection during the year, including deposits, exceeded 100,000 specimens, or nearly three times as many as were received during the previous year. Included among the accessions were four large collections, the principal of which was that made by Mr. E. A. Schwarz, Custodian of Coleoptera, assisted by Mr. H. S. Earlier. This collection, which Mr. Schwarz made at his personal expense and presented to the Museum, contained 65,000 insects. Mr. ^V. H. Ashmead collected about 7,000 insects in the Hawaiian Islands. Dr. H. G. Dyar, Custodian of Lepidoptera, assisted by Mr. A. N. Caudell, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, col- lected 10.000 Lepidoptera and Orthoptera in Colorado. This collec- tion comprised a large numlier of l)lown lepidopterous larva' prepared in the field by Mr. Caudell. The fourth large accession was a deposit made by Mr. William Schaus, consisting of about 10,000 beautifully prepared specimens of butterflies, chiefly from Mexico and Central America. Besides these four large accessions there were 306 smaller ones, all of which are referred to in Appendix II. Only a few can be men- tioned in this place. Prof. T. D. A. Cockerell presented various

coUcction.s of insects from New Mexico, containing- numv typos and cotj'pcs. Mr. D. W. Coquillett, Custodian of Diptera, presented a valuable collection comprising 2,214 specimens of American Diptera. Two accessions of insects of the Philippine^ Islands were received from Dr. Paul L. Stangl, and one from Maj. M. I^. liobb. Mr. W. P. Hay presented 500 Mexican Lepidoptera. A collection of Homoptera wasprefsentedby Prof. Elmer D. Ball, including- types of man}' species described by him. T3'pes and cotj'pes of new species were also pre- sented by Prof. E. B. Williamson, Prof. H. Bird, Prof. Ralph V.

Chamberlin, and j\Ir. H. H. Ncwcomb. The deposit of these types is a matter of great satisfaction to the Museum, and much to the interest of entomologists. At the close of the year arrangements were entered into for the ])ur- chase of 4.000 finely prepared Costa Riean insects, in which the Musiuim collections are deficient. This was the only purchase during the year.

Several excellent collections werc^- procured ))y exchange, the princi- pal of ^vhich were 744 European Diptera from Prof. M. Bezzi, and a series of exotic Termitida, including many types, obtained from Dr. Felippo Silvestri. Marine lnvertehr(ite)<. —Besides the collections from the U. S. Fish

Commission and Stanford University, already referred to (p. 6:-)), men- tion should he made of the crustaceans from caves in Kentuck}' and Tenness(M', including types of two ])lind species, which were presented b}' Mr. W. P. Hay; crustaceans from Alaska, presented b}' Mr. R, C. McCiregor, of the U. S. Coast Sui'vey steamer PatJiJindcr; samples of vVtlantic Ocean bottom, from the Bureau of Equipment, II. S. Nav}', and a collection of miscellaneous marine invertebrates from Ellesmere Land, presented by Mr. Robert Stein. One large purchase was made dui'ing the year, consisting of tXJ boxes of corals colhu-ted l)y l^rof. A. B. Steere and Prof. Dean C. Worcester in the Philippine Islands. This collection contained a great variety of valuable study matei'ial. Plants. —The accession lots added to the herl)ariuni for the year were 342 in niunber. In 189!t-f000 Dr. Charhvs Mohr, of Ashe^ille, North Carolina, })resented to the Smithsonian Institution his collection of cryptogamic plants, compi'ising about 8,000 specimens, and at the same time IxMiueathed to the Institution his extensive herbarium of flowering plants. Dr. Mohr di(>d Jul}' IT, 1901, and on August 28, 1001, the flowering plants, comprising about 18,500 specimens, were received from his (executors. This valuable l)equest is of nuicli impor-

tance to the National Herl)arium, as it consists chiefly of plants of the Southern States, which were not widl represented previously. Dr. J. N. Rose, Assistant ('urator, collected about 8.000 plants in Mex- ico, chiefly on Mount Orizaba and Mount Popocatepi^tl. Dr. E. A. Mearns, U. S. Army, presented 748 plants from Rhode Island. A KEruKT OF ASSISTANT SE(UiKTAKY. 67 collection of oSl phiiits, chiefly fi'oni the Philippine Islands, was received as a donation from the Royal Botanic (lardens, Iv(nv. Knoland. A large amount of valua])le material, comprising more than (>,OitO speciniiMis, was transmitted Ijy tln^ V. S. Department of Agriculture during the 3'ear. The more important collections are as follows: From Porto Uico, collected })y Messrs. (-ook. Underwood, and (Iriggs (1,100 specinuMis); from (Juatemala and lM(^\ico, coUecti'd by Messrs. (yook and ( iriggs (1,0(>(» specimens); from Prazil, collected by ,Iose de ('ampos

Novaes (511 specimens); from Idaiioaiid W^'oming, collected l)y E. 1). Meriill and (*. V. Wilcox (S()4 specimens); from vVlaska, Oregon, Washington, and California, collected by F. A. Wal])ole (Til speci- mens). The r. S. (Geological Sur\'(\v transmitted a collection of 4

Several important exchange's wer(^ efiected during tiie year. Men- tion may be made here of the following: 747 ]V)rto Rican plants and 444 Mexican plants from the New York P>otanic (xarden; ^)o4 C'oloiado plants from Mr. Frank Tweedy. During the year the Museum made ])ui'chascs of plants to the amount of ^1,000 and about LO.loO spiM-imens were obtained. The largest collections were 4, ;24!» specimens from China atid 1, (Mil) specimens from Mexico. The remaining purchas(\s consisted chiefly of plants from various parts of (he United States, as follows: Coloi'ado, l,.S,s;^>; Ftah, 455; California, 45(1; Gulf States, 445; (reorgia. 55S; Floi'ida, 52H.

WORK ON THK STUDY SKKIKS.

In the l)i\ision of Mannnals aconsiderablr amount of time wass])(>nt in making uniform, complete labels to replace earlier ones, many of which had deteriorated from long use or th(^ infiltration of oily matter from the skins. The rearrangement of the small mannnals was prac- tically completed last year as far as space would i)ei"mit. On account of the cramped ([uarters it has been necessary to store many ti'ays of

less frequently us(>d material in boxes, a very undesirable i)lan. During the year covered b}^ this report fi\e new cases win-e made for the large manmials, and they are now all reasonably well protected from (lust and insects, but are still nuudi overcrowded, so that they are to a certain extent inaccessible and can not be properly arranged.

The large skins in vats ai'o still uncUnined and in danger of destruction, no money having been available for their renovation. Of the small skins, between 300 and 400 were freed from grease^ and made over into"a suitable form foi- permanent preserxation. Among these were included many typ«' specimens. The rooms for mannnals in alcohol were improved by the addition of several hundretl feet of shelving, 68 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902.

but as this was not put in place until near the close of the 3 ear little was done toward rearrangement. The specimens themselves are in g-ood condition. During the year 1,06J- mammal skulls, mostly of large size, were cleaned by the Museum preparators, of which 590 belonged to the collection of the Biological Survey, U. S. Department of Agriculture, and 474 to the regular collections. In addition, 2,167 small skulls were cleaned by contract. This work is of special impor- tance, as in the study of manmials cranial characters are largely depended upon for the discrimination of species. The additions to the collections of the Biological Survey were catalogued in the Museum as hitherto, and 13 new storsige cases were constructed for their reception. At the request of Di-. D. G. Elliot, of the Field Colum- bian Museum, the skulls of a considerable lumiber of types and rare species were photographed for his work on the mannnals of Mexico and Central America. In the Division of Birds the conditions existing last year continued with little change. The curator being occupied the greater part of the time in preparing manuscript for the press, the routine work fell almost altogether on the assistant curator, who was without assistance except for a fcAV weeks. During this period some i)rogress was made toward completing the rearrangement of the birds in the new cases provided last year. The assistant curator took charge of the rei)acking of exhibits at the Buffalo Exposition and installing them at the Charleston Exposition. In the Division of Reptiles a beginning was made in rearranging the study collections on the new shelving provided last year, l)ut as

this work involves a large amount of re-identiiication of species it necessarih^ })roceeds slowly. The collections are in a good state of preservation. Little more can be accomplished in the Division of Fishes by the present small force than to keep the collections from deteriorating, and to enter and care for new accessions and to attend to the scientific correspondence. Toward the close of the year, however, the work of preparing 100 sets of duplicate specimens for distribution to educa- tional institutions was begun, and good progress made. The assistant curator went to Charleston in January to install the collection of fishes in formalin which was transferred from the Buffalo Exposition. A large number of standard drawers was added to the equipment of the Division of Insects, and the re-arrangement of the collections thereby much facilitated. The Lepidoptera have now all been well arranged by Dr. Dyar in the standard drawers. Mr. Schwarz has been engaged in similar work on the Coleoptcra and completed 50 drawers during the year. The Ichneumonidea and C-halcidoidea Svere arranged by Mr. Ashmead. Mr. Currie has worked continuously on the Neuroptera and by his efforts the collection of Odonata has been REPOKT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. (i9 groatly increased and improved. AN'ork on the Diptera was continued

hy Mr. Coquillett, and at present the colhu-tion of insiH'ts ol" thai order

is probably at least as good as any otlici' similar collection in the country. The Diptera are still in old style boxes. In all other orders. "except the Rhynchota. the collections are in good condition, thouo-h less work has been done on them. The Rhynchota is a large order of great e<-onomic importance and should have th(^ care of a projierlv qua'Htied specialist. The accessions to the Division of Marine Invertebrates wen^ for the most part cared for as soon as received, l)ut the large collection of Philippine corals purchased from Professor Steere was not all unpacked for want of room. With the ]iresent force the specimens can not l)e catalogued as fast as identitied, but a large amount was accomplished during the year. It has been fully recogiHzed that the collections of the Di\ ision of Plants, also known as the National H

Agriculture to the National Museum, the old cases in which it had l)ecn kept were also brought over and when set up were riMuodeled and improved as far as possible. It was obvious, however, that they could not be made tight enough to a]>soIutely exclude dust and insects with- out a greater expenditure of money than would b(^ justified. Al)out three years ago a new form of case was devised, and at the l)egimiing of the present liscal year 104 of these new cases were in use. During the past year -to additional cases were constructed, making Itf-t in all.

It is estimated that a])out 200 additional cases will still l)e re([uired to replace the old ones. Congress was asked to supply funds for these much-needed cases, and it is hoped that the amount appropriated for mechanical work will enalde the jNIuseum to construct the greater part of them, if not all, during the coming year. Mr. F. V. Coville, Honorary Curator, repoj-ts as follows r(\uarding the cataloguing of specimens:

At tlie time the herl)arium was actually traiisferreil to the National Muf^euui, in 1894, we l)egan to stamp and record the accessions. It was assumed tluit there were then about 200,000 sheets in the Irerbarium, and the stamp was set at 200,001. The number of specimens catalogued during tiie ])ast eight years is 202,945. Of tliese 15,975 were added last year. The work of I'ecording the old part of the her1)arium has almost ceased and speci- mens are only stamped when they are to be sent away as a loan. Tliis record runs from 1 to 26346. In addition to this, specimens have been stanii)e

The Division of Plants has been rather more favorably situated as regards funds than any other division of the Museum. Since its trans- 70 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 31K)2. fer from the U. S. Department of Ag-riculture in 1894 it has expended each year, as ao-reed upon, th(^, sum of $10,000, a larger amount than allotted to any other division. I n the present quarters, however, it can not hope for the facilities which a less crowded building would afford. On the other hand, it is to be stated that the division has not main- tained an extensive exhibition series, as has been the case with ivearly all other divisions of the Museum. Plans of the new cases adopted for the Division of Plants were sent b\' request to Mr. F. D. Gardner of the Porto Rico Agricultural

Experiment Station, and to ]\lr. K. L. Morris, director of biology, Washington higli schools.

CATALOGUE HOOKS.

Tlie supply of catalogU(^ books for the several divisions having been exliaustcd, the opportiuiity was taken to revise the headings, which had been in use with but little modilication for about tifty years. After

Pull consideration it was found impracticable to make the catalogues conform to thos(^ of the other two departments of the Museum, l)ut by introducing two columns without headings a form was devised which can ))e used ])y all tho divisions of the Department of Biology, except the Division of Plants. The size of the l>ooks was not changed.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHES AND I'UKLI CATIONS.

As already said in another place, nuich of the work done during the year covered l)y this report was continuation of work begim last year or earlier. The first volume of the large manual ly ]Mr. K. Ridgway, entitled Birds of North and Middle America, which was mentioned last year, was published on October 21, 1001. The second volume is nearly I'eady to issue, and the third volume is well und«H"way and will piobably go to press sometime during the coming year. Mr. Ridgwaj^ has had little time for othcM" duties than reading pi'oof and completing manuscript on this work. Dr. C W. Richmond pri^pared a report on the large collection of birds from the Andaman and Nico])ar islands i)resented 1)y Dr. W. L. Abl)ott, and identitied the collections from Linga Island, Sumatra. Much of the time of Dr. Stejneger was occupied in re-identifying the general. collections of n^ptiles and batrachians prepai"atory to their re-arrangement in tiie new cases already mentioned. Although this work affords nothing for j)ublication, it amounts to a revision of man}' genera. The investigations of the reptile faunas of the Antilles and of Japan, mentioned in last year's report, were continued. The mono- graph on the reptiles and batrachians of Porto Rico was not completed as expected, owing to the receipt of new material from Mona Island which re(juired description and illustration.

Ivehn. of Philadelpha, a very carefully prepannl list of mammals of North America, entitled Systematic results of the study of North American land mannnals to the close of the year 1900. Dr. M. W. Lyon, jr., published two papers on l)ats and one on the Venezuelan mannnals collected by Capt. Wirt lvo))inson and himself. He has been engao-od in th(^ study of the skeletons of Amc'rican hares and pikas. The Museum pul)lished during- the y(»ar a series of pajxu's by Pr(>si- dent D. S. Jordan, and Messrs. J. 0. Snyder, E. C Starks, and M. Sindo, on the fishes of Japan. Thes(^ papers covered H! groups, such as the eels, cardinal fishes, surf fishes, anglers. <'tc. The types of now species were deposited in the National Museum. President flordan also published conjointly with Mr. .T. O. Snyder a list of the fishes collected for the Museum by the late Pierre L. Jouy in Ja})aii in 1888 and 188."). Dr. TarhHon H. Bean and Mr. B. A. Bean completed reports on the fishes of New York for the State Museum and of Great South Bay, New York, for the New York Fish Connnission. Notes on the whale-shark received by the Museum from Ormond, Florida, on a steelhead salmon, and on a larval conger eel were also published by Mr. B. A. Bean. .V report on the fishes of the Nile River pre- sented by Prof. Bashford Dean was prepared by Dr. Theodore Gill and Mr. Bean. The conchological work accomplished during the year is sununed up by Mr. AY. II. Dall. Honorary Curator, as follows:

The curator lias continued his work of revising and sunnnarizing the groups of American bivalves. The revision of the fossil S2:)eeies (Tertiary), those of the general collection (recent), and of the American recent species all proceed together, so that for the most part concluding the work on a group means that the si)ecimens in the collection belonging to that group liave been brought np to date. The work which has chiefly occupied the curator during the past year has been (1) the ])reparation of a report now finished, Imt not yet printed, on the newly discovered l^'ocene of Alaska, and (2) the revision of the family Veneridse, one of the largest and most interesting of all the groups of Invalves, including 137 Auierican species not includ- ing those of sonthern South America. TheAvork on the recent species, including the description of 22 new ones discovered during the research, is completed, ])ut the fos- sil forms will require further study as comjirising many undescribed species. Mr. Bartsch, under the supervision of the curator, has continued his researches in the Pyramidellidte of the Pacific coast, a wholly unexpected influx of undescribed forms having come to light l)y search in the sand and gravel reserved for the scrutiny of the student of Foraminifera.

Prof. Charh'S B. Wilson, who hfis \olunteered to work up the collec- tion.s of parasitic copepod Crustacea belonging- to the Museuui, com- pleted a monograph of the family Argulidtv. The monograph of the Crustacea of the familj^ Galatheidte b}' Dr. J. E. Benedict, mentioned in last year's report, was completed, but has not 3'et l)een pul)lished. Miss M. J. Rath bun completed a stud.y of the macruran Crustaa of the northwest coast of America, and prepared preliminary descriptions of both Macrura and Brachyura, which were published in the Proceedings of the Museum. She also prejiared a list of decapods of the Northwest, with descriptions of new and rare forms, for insertion in one of the volumes of the report of the Harriman Alaska expedition, now in press. The collection of stalk-eyed Crustacea made by Dr. D. 8. Jordan and Mr. J. O. Sn} der in Japan was also reported on by Miss Rathbun. In addition she described a new species of fossil crab for Branner\s Geology of the Northeast Coast of Brazil, identified the Brachyura and Macrura collected by the U. S. Fish Commission in the Hawaiian Islands, 1901, and renew^ed work on the fresh-water crabs belonging- to the collections of the Paris Miiseimi, pul>lishing in that connection a description of a new species of Parathelphusa. Prof. W. P. Ha}^ described two blind crustaceans from Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, and Nickajack Cave, Tennessee. Miss Harriet Richardson, collal)orator, continued studies on the isopods. She prepared, at the request of Prof. A. E. Verrill, a report on the isopods of the Bermudas, and began reports on the Japanese isopods. She also took up the study of the general collection of Bop3a'id{e, and prepared descriptions of two new isopods from Indiana and Cuba, respectively. Dr. L. O. Howard, Honorary Curator of the Division of Insects, who is also Entomologist of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, pu])lished during the year a large niunber of papers having for the most part an economic bearing. A list of these will be found in the bibliography accompanying this report. In addition Dr. Howard published a large popular work entitled The Insect Book, treating of North American insects exclusive of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. The scientific work of other members of the staff of the Division of

Insects for the year is thus summarized:

Mr. Ashmead still continues his classificatory work on the Hymenoj)tera an.l has published much on the subject. He has just iinished his classification of the REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 78 chalcid-flies of the ^uiierfaiiiily Chalcidoidea, a complex fully as largo as the Icli- iieuiiKiiKiidea. The material in this suiieffamily in the national collection is most valuable and has heen arranged by Mr. Ashmead ac(X)rding to his classification. ! U- also continues his work on a monograph of the North American Bracoiiid.c iK'gun ten years ago, and has every reason to believe that his manuscript will ))e ready for publication in the Proceedings of the Museum this fall, lli" has also linished and lianded in for pul)licatiou in the Proceedings of the Washington Academy of Sciences his reports on (1) the Rynchota of the Harriman exi)edition, and (2) the Hymenoj)- tera r)f the Galapagos Islands, collected by the Leland Stanford Junior University expedition. Mr. Ashmead has also done much work upon a catalogue of the Hymenoptera of North America and the West Indies. A' complete bibliograi)hical catalogue of our species has never been published, and it is believed that such a work will be found useful and valuable. Difhculty has been found in ])lacing some of the species described from Mexico and Central America, and before these can be assigned to their proper genera it will be necessary to examine the -types in the British Museum.

jNIr. Coquillett has com))leted a synoi)sis of the dipterous family ('luronomid;c. Dr. Dyar has completed and handed in for publication in tii-e Proceedings a cata- logue of the North American Lepidoptera north of INlexico. Mr. Currie has been engaged when other work would i>erniit in monographing the North American species of the antlion flies, family Myrmeleonida'. He has begun the compilation of a catalogue of the neuropteroid insects of North America.

Mr. F. A. Lucas completed a paper on latiloid lishes. The scientific work of the ])otanists has covered a wide field. Mr. F. V. Coville, Honorary Curator of the Division of Plants, continued his studies upon the genera Sali.r and Rthes^ and is also preparing a flora of Alaska. He published during the 3'ear a paper on a new genus of heather, IlarrlmaiuJla^ of which specimens were obtained by the Haniman Alaska expedition, and a paper on two species of Rihei<. Dr. J. N. Rose continued work on the Mexican flora, and engaged with Dr. N. L. Britton in preparing a revision of the Crassulacew of North America. Mr. C. L. Pollard published papers describing new species of violets and of (Jlianisecrhta^ also a popular account of plant families and on the formation of the Florida Keys. Mr. W. R. Maxon pu))lished A'arious notes on ferns.

COOPERATION OF STECIALISTS AND LOAN OF SPECIMENS.

The Museum has always enjoyed the cooperation of s})e('ialists in difl^erent branches of sj'stematic zoology and ])otany in classifying the collections and identifying species in groups with which the mem- bers of the scientiflc stafl' are not familiar. These transactions are of a varied nature. Sometimes the use of all the Museum specimens of a group are solicited l)y a specialist engaged in pre])aring a monograph, to enalde him to ])ase his conclusions on greater masses of material than he personally has at his disposition. In cases of this kind the Museum benefits chiefly by having the specimens in its collection identi- fied. In other instances the Museum asks the assistance of an expert in working up a collection, both to get the specimens identified and to 74 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902.

obtain ii paper for publication in the Proceedings, or Bulletin. Tn still other instances both the above-mentioned o})jects arc aimed at, the expert getting the use of material for use with other collections in a work of general scope, and the Museum r(>ceiving a report on its own specimens.

The system has worked to tho advantage of the Museum and also, it is believed, has facilitated in no small degree the work of zoological and botanical specialists, both in the United States and abroad. Manj^ collections were in the hands of specialists at the beginning of the year covered ))y this report and others were sent out during the year. The most important were as follows: A series of 208 Patagonian mam- mals sent to Dr. J. A. Allen, American Museum of Natural History, for use in connection with his work on the Manunals of the Princeton expedition to Patagonia; 68 Alaska squirrels, also sent to Dr. Allen; 49 mammals sent to Dr. i). G. Elliot, Field Columbian ^luscum. for use in connection with his work on the mammals of Mexico and Cen-

Coutiere, Paris Museum, added to the collections of the same kind previously sent him, to ])e classified for the benefit of the Museum; 11 lots of leeches to Dr. J. Percy Moore, University of Pennsylvania, added to similar lots previously sent him and identitied for th(> Museum. The following insects, with many smaller lots, were lent for study: One hundred specimens of the genus Lri/raniri to Prof. J. B. Smith, Rutgei's Colleg(^: liS specimens of Ophionini to Dr. E. P. Felt; 138 Lepidoptera to Dr. W. J. Holland, Carnegie Museum; al)out 400 specimens, illustrating the natural his- tory of the dragon-fli(^s and their alliens, to Prof. James G. Needham, Lake Forest Cniversity, for monographic w'ork; 832 Tettigidie to Dr. J. L. Hancock. Loans of plants were 30 in number, among which the following deserve notice: 214 specimens of Amorj?ha and PhUadelphu>< to the Biltmore Her])arium; 197 specimens of Equtsetum to Mr. A. A. Eaton; 589 specimens of Curdinu'mc to Dr. A. Engler, Royal Botanical Museum, Berlin; lOO Hepatica? to Dr. A. W: Evans, Yale University; 474 specimens of Nyctaginaceso to Dr. A.

liABOUATORY USK OF Til K (X)LLKGTTONS I'.V INVKS TIO A TOKS AND STUDENTS.

In addition to the use made of the collections hy the s])ecialists to whom specimens wer(^ sent, various iiiAi^stioators and students work in the laboratories every 3'(>ar for longer or shoi'ter ))ei'iods. A yreat deal of such work is don(> f»y the scientitic statf of the various bureaus of the li. S. Department of Aii'riculture which are coiuMU-ned in zooloL^ical and botanical i-(\searches and by the oflicers of I Ik- W S. Fish Commission. Dr. E. A.

Chapnran, American Museum of Nat- ural History, examininl the collections of South American, and espe- cially Peruvian, birds. Mrs. Florence M. Bailey made some in\'esti- gations on the l)ird collections preparatory to the publication of a work on the l)irds of Avestern North Anun-ica. Prof. W. P. Hay continued the work on i\n\ crayfishes mentioned last year, and rendered valuable assistance to the Museum by idcMiti- fying recent additions to the collections. Mr. T. Waylaiid Vaughan continued work on the geiuu'al collections of corals, as o])i)ort unities occur I'ed. Numerous specialists and students examined various poiTions of the collections of insects. Dr. N. L. l^ritton, director of the New York Botanical Garden, was a frequent visitor to the Herbariuin during the year, especially in connection with his studies on the Crassulacea' and Cyperacea». The collection repi-esenting the genus Plantaijo was studied by Mr. P]. L. Morris, director of biology in the high schools of Washuigton City. Dr. P. A. Rydberg examined the Rocky Mountain plants, Dr. Charles F. Millspaugh the plants of Yucatan, Dr. L. M. Underwood the fern collection, and Mrs. E. G. Britton the mosses. Prof. PI L.

Such students are always welcome, but in the present cramped condition of the building they work under grout disadvantag'es both as regards space and light.

DISTRIBUTION OF DUPIJCATR SPECIMENS.

The distribution of so-called "duplicate" specimens to educational institutions continued as far as circumstances would permit. The preparation of these sets consumes much time, and witli the limited force only a moderate number can be got together in any one year. The sets of marine invertebrates mentioned in last year's report were distributed to 71 institutions, chi(>fly colleges, normal schools, and high schools. In May work was ])egun on the preparation of a n(>w series of 100 sets of fishes. EXPOSITIONS.

The Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, New York, closed November 2, 1902, and certain members of the staff were detailed to repack the exhibits of the Department. This work was under the supervision of Dr. Charles W. Richmond. The President having signified his d(\sire that such portion of the Government exhibit at Buffalo as could be accommodated should be transferred to the Charleston Exposition, a selection of objects was made, packed separately, and shipped direct to that city. The remainder of thc^ Buffalo exhibit was returned to Wash- ington and installed in the permanent exhibition cases. The Charles- ton Exposition closed May 31, 1902, and just prior to that date several members of the scientific staff were detailed to repack the objects exhi))ited there. PERSONNEL.

The Head Curator was appointed representative of the Smithsonian Institution and National Museum on the U. S. (Tovernment Board for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, 1904.

Dr. M. W. Lyon, jr., returned to the service of the Department, September 1,1901. Mr. Georg(> B. Turner was appointed chief taxidermist, Septem))er 21, 1901.

By George 1*. Mekriij-, Head ('uraior.

The year that has passed, though characterized by no sin<;l(> excnt of great importance, has, nevertheless, l)een one of steady [)rogr(>ss along lines essential to good administration. More has prol)a})ly Ixmmi accomplished in the way of sj'stematizing and completing the recoi'ds of the collections than in an}"- single year in the history of the Depart- ment. Changes of importance in the personnel have occurred, iiiv()i\'- ing the resignation of Dr. Peter Fireman, on the !»tli of September; the furloughing of Mr. John W. Coleman, preparator in tlu^ Section of Vertebrate Paleontology; the appointment of ]\Ir. R. S. lUissler, preparator in the Section of Invertebrate Paleontology, and the appointment of ]\lr. W. C. Phalen as aid in the Division of Ceology. The resignations and furloughs, it should be stated, were voluntary, Dr. Fireman retiring to accept a more lucrative position elsinvhere, and Mr. Coleman accepting temporary emplo^aiient in ]\Iexico on account of the condition of his health. Temporary services have been rendered by ]\Iiss Moody and Miss Youte.

ACCESSIONS.

The total nund)er of acc(>ssions received by the \arious divisions of the Department is shown in tal)ular form below. For purposes of comparison those for the years lSi>!>-li»Oi» and 1900-1901 are also oiven.

discrimination as the years go on, and material that would at one time have been acceptable is now rejected. No idea of the value of the accessions, moreover, can be derived from these figures, and it is safe to say that in at least two of the divisions the materials are of a \'alue equal to that of any corresponding period in the history of the jNlu.seum.

It is well to note in this connection that as time passes a propor- tionally smaller amount of desirable material comes to the Department in the way of gifts, while the funds that can l)e devoted to i)urchase and collecting remain far too small. As a natural consequence the growth of the collection is likely in time to be seriousl}^ checked. The most important of the accessions noted above have been: I. A collection of 173 specimens of ores and 6 transparencies of mining regions received from the Government exhibit at Paris in VMM).

Britts, of Clinton, Missouri, The collection includes a number' of types described by Dr. David White in the Fossil Flora of the Coal Measures of Missouri.

SOURCES OF NEW MATERIAL.

The sources of the new material are in part indicated above. As in years past the U, S, Geological Survey has been the principal con- tributor, though several valuable specimens have been obtained by

purchase and exchange, jus noted, Mr. F. W. Crosby collected for the Museum a remarkabl}^ fine series of pot holes in l)asalt, found in the vicinity of Snake River Falls, Idaho. The meteorite collection and the collection of minerals have been enriched mainl}^ through exchanges and purchase. As noted, Dr. L. T. Chamberlain has made an important addition to the gem collection. Mr. Schuchert, during his vacation, made important additions to the collections in the way of Helderbergian and Cretaceous materials from New York and New Jerse}'. Mr. Bassler, while at the Pan- American Exposition, devoted a few days to collecting- Bryozoa in the Devonian and Silurian rocks of the vit-inity.

ROUTINE,

In all the divisions of the Department there were received upward of 4,100 specimens requiring entering and numbering, and in many KEPORT OF ASSISTANT SECKETAK\. 81 cases the preparation of eards for card catalogues suid, perhaps, hilx'ls for exhibition purposes as well. In addition, considerable progress was made in working over the old materials. Much time, as before, is occupied in identifying material received from other institutions or from individuals, and for which the Museum receives no adec^uate return. Some 297 of these temporary accessions have received attention during the year. Mrs. Jouy, who has been placed in charge of the records of the Department, reports the following entries in the catalogue^, books: Division of Geology and Sections of Paleobotany and Vertebrate Paleontology, 1,750; Section of Invertebrate Paleontology, 2,102; Division of Mineralogy, 129. Three thousand one hundred and fifty- seven catalogue cards have been prepared, also manuscript for 558 labels for the Government Printer. Some 30,000 numbers have been painted upon specimens by ]\Ir. Gruikshank and the Misses Voute and Moody. Several of the collections, including the concretions and cave and glacial deposits, in the Division of Geology, have been thoroughly overhauled and resirranged, and over 500 specimens re-installed in new exhi])ition jars. Some one hundred photographs, maps, and other illustrations have been distributed among the exhibition series. The details of this work, as in years past, have been looked after 1)}^ Mr. Newhall. The mineralogical hall was disarranged in January, owing to the erection of the new galleries, and is now in process of restora- tion. The work can scarcely be finished during the present fiscal year. Mr. Schuchert reports that altogether he has put awa}" in final museum form during the year some 21,000 specimens. Twenty-tive boxes of old material have been Avithdrawn from storage and the material worked into the Museum collections. The installation of the Harris collection has been completed.

Mr. Lucas, who still remains in charge of tlie vertel)rate fossils, reports the mounting of the hind legs and pelvis of Ti'iceratops jjror- siis and similar parts of the carnivorous dinosaur Allosaurus. The time of Dr. Peale has been iuWy taken up in attending to the routine of his department, and no progress whatever has been made on the exhi])ition series. The study material, which has received his chief attention, is rapidl}- becoming systematized and put in tirst-class condition. A systematic eti'ort has been made toward preparing a catalogue of the type and illustrated specimens in all the sections and divisions of the Department. This has taken a considera])le amount of time on the part of the heads of the various divisions, the clerical work remaining largely in the hands of Mrs. Jouy and Miss Graves. The manuscript for nearly G,()00 type and illustrated specimens has thus been prepared. NAT MUS 1902 82 REPOKT OF NATIOISTAL MUSEUM, 1902.

It was hoped that this catalogue might be completed in season to hand in with m}^ annual report. In accordance with the plan originated several years ago, a small series of rocks, illustrating the various stages of rock decomposition and formation of soils, was prepared for distribution to schools and colleges. Ninety-one sets were prepared, (comprising eleven speci- mens each. These were accompanied by a descriptive pamphlet of three pages, giving localities and analyses. As the years go on, and particularly as the halls grow more and more crowded, there accumulates a large amount of duplicate and less desirable material, which has been stored away in boxes or wherever available space can be found. This is especiall}^ the case with the Division of Geology proper, where the character of the material is such that it often comes to the Museum in bulk to be trimmed up and prepared for exhibition on the ground. During the past year a systematic effort has been made to sort this and dispose, to the advantage of the Museum, of such as was not actuall}' needed for study or exhibition. Nearly 2,500 specimens and upward of 4,500 pounds of rocks and ores in the rough have been thus disposed of. the returns coming in the form of meteorites and minerals in which a maximum value is represented 1)}' a minimum amount of material. The regular routine of the Museum has been somewhat disturbed this year, as in years past, by exposition work. Messrs. Xowhall, Stewart, and Bassler were at Buffalo for a period of eighteen da3^s in November, engaged in packing the exhibit of the department, which had been there throughout the exposition, and in January following Messrs. Schuchert and Stewart went to Charleston to install the exhibit there. In May, Messrs. Stewart and Newhall and the Head Curator visited Charleston for the purpose of packing the collections for their return to Washington, I may note here that the collections forming the exhibit at Buffalo and Charleston have been all returned, those from Charleston arriving too late to receive attention during the present fiscal year. Mr, Bassler Avas engaged during July, August, and a part of September, at Newport, Kentucky, in packing the Ulrich collection, noted elsewhere,

PEESENT CONDITION OF THE COLLECTIONS.

Tl)e condition of most of the collections of the Department is fairly satisfacctot-y. We are, of course, badly hampered for space, and a large amount of material is needed to render many of the collections complete or systematic. The final installation, in the Section of Invertebrate Paleontology, of the Harris collection, received in 1898, is practically' accomplished. The exhibition portion now comprises some 3,400 specimens mounted on 365 tiles and blocks and occupving 50 running feet of the gallery rail case in the southeast court. REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 83

This collection, which has been briefly referred to in previous reports, i.s the result of nearly fifty years of work on the part of Mr. Harris, and is generally accepted as being the finest collection of its kind extant. It is particularly rich in Crinoids, of which, in the form of slabs and free specimens, there arc not less than 1,3(»0 specimens. It is also extremely rich in Silurian starfishes and Trilobites, containing some 600 out of the 750 known species of this crustacean so far described from the Cincinnati formation. The Museum, as well as the country at large, is to be congratulated on the fact that so valuable a collection has become permanently housed where it will l)c accessible to all work- ers. Much credit is due Mr. Schuchert for the efficient manner in which he has handled this and, indeed, all the collections that come under his care. It may be well to remark in this connection that the skeleton of IlesperornU regalis^ obtained a year ago for the Pan-American Expo- sition, has been returned in safety and now constitutes one of the most interesting exhil)its in the Section of Vertebrate Paleontology. The collections in the mineral hall are not yet fully restored from the confused condition into which they were thrown in January by the erection of galleries, as already noted.

KESEARCH A\l> PUBLICATION.

Work of research in the Division of Geology has been greatly cur- tailed through the resignation in September of Dr. Peter Fireman, chemist of the Department, as before noted. What investigations have been carried on have been limited mainly to meteorites. As will be seen by reference to the bil)liograph3", two papers relating to the Felix and Admire meteorites have been prepared and published dur- ing the last year \)\ the Head Curator, the chemical work having l)een done in part by Dr. Fireman and in part by Mr. Tassin, the Assistant Curator in the Division of Mineralogy. This investigation has yicdded what is believed to be important contributions to our knowdedge of these interesting bodies, the Felix stone having been shown to ))e a tufi' containing minerals of undoubted secondary origin, and that of Admire showing the iron under such conditions as to suggest its origin through reduction of a chloride or sulphide. Mr. Tassin has himself studied and prepared for puldication a paper on the large mass of meteoric iron from Casas (Irandcs, Mexico, and has continued his studies on the dehj^dration of the ferric h3Tlrates. He hopes to be a])le to publish the result of this latter work during the next calendar 3^ ear. Mr. Schuchert has continued his study of the Silurian and Lower Devonian of the Appalachian region, and has in preparation mono- graphs of these fossils from the Maryland region, to l)e puldished in the main by the Maryland Geological Survey. He has also continued 84 KP:P<>RT of national MU8EUM, 1!>02. his work on the monograph of the fossil sturftshes. A nionog-niph on the fossil Ostracoda is in conteinpUition. Mr. Lucas is still engaged on the monograph of the Stegosauria mention(Hl in my last report, and has also devoted some time to the study of certain points in the structure of Hesperornis and Baptornis. He has also studied a series of birds from the Pliocene of Oregon sub- mitted b\' Prof. J. ('. Merriam.

ASSISTAXCK TO I^DIVIDUALS AND INSTITUTIONS.

The usual custom of lending material for study has been followed, as in previous years. Material from the divisions of Geology and Mineralogy has thus been lent to the U. S. Geological Survey and ver- tebrate material to Messrs. Osborn. Gidley, and Hay. of the American

Museum of Natural History in New York, and to Mr. .1. B. Hatcher, of the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburg. Material from the Section of Invcrte))rate Paleontology has l^een lent to Dr. John M. Clarke, of

Albany; Dr. C. E. Beecher, of New Haven; Mr. ,]. K. Duerden, of Johns Hopkins University, and Miss Elvira Wood, of the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology. The U. S. Geological Survey, as usual, has had free access to the materials whenever occasion demanded.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

The generalized section across th(^ entire American continent, which was referred to in my last annual report, remains as yet untinished, owing to lack of funds. The collection which was to accompaii}" the same is also incomplete and remains in an old wall case entirely unsuited for this use, but which, it is hoped, may shortly be replaced. It is expected that the skeleton remains of the Triceratops or Clao- saurus will be mounted for exhibition dui'ing the coming 3'ear aiul, possibly, also, that of the Mastodon ol)tained at Church. Michigan, in the sununer of 1901. Furtlxu' development along lines other than those alread}^ estab- lished is rendered practically impossible, owing to lack of space.

It is extremely desirable, if not essential to the welfare of the

Museum, that the Department should l)e allowed to have an annual allowance for Held and collecting exi)enses. No museum can rel}^ wholly upon gifts for its advancement. Collections coming by this means ai'c invariably lacking in certain essential materials which can be Old}" in part supplied by purchase. Mon^ than that, the scientific

force can not, 1 believe, be kept up to the desired point of efficiency if they are obliged to i-emain at their desks throughout the summer

months. 1 am strongly in favor of sending men into tlie tield when-

ever it is possible. At present thei'e are at least three I'egions capable of furnishing desirai)le fossil in\ertebrates, which it is very essential we should in\estigate at once, besides numerous localities for Axrte- brate fossils, minerals, and general geological materials. APPENDIX I.

Report on tiik Exhibit of the National Museum at the South Carolina, Interstate and AV est Indian Exposition. Chaiiles- TON, 1901-2 By Frederick W. True,

Head f'xrator, Department of Biologn, in chart/e.

The South Carolina, Interstate and West Indian Exposition, held at Charleston,

South Carolina, opened Deeeniber 1, 1901, and closed May ol, 1902. The olijcct ol" this exposition, as shown in its prospectus, was "to inaugurate new industries and commerce in the South; to open up new foreign markets, particularly in the West Indies; to I)egin the twentieth centur)M)f the Christian era with an exhibitimi of Ilu> arts of peace; to develop the American culture of silk and tea; to promote the Soutii- ern manufactures of cotton and iron; to establish new steamship lines from Cliarles- ton, the central seaport of the great Southeast; to show the woi-ld the resom-ces and attractions of the territory along the Southern seaboard and the advantages of Charleston as a connecting link between the producers of the Southeastern States and the IMississippi Valley on one side and the markets of the world on the other." In the sundry civil bill making provision for the expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, an item was inserted for a Government exhibit at Charleston. This item was subsequently rejected, and as the Exposition would open befoi-e the matter could again be brought to tlie attention of Congress tiie director-general appealed to the President to order an exhiliit sent to Charleston with the understanding that the exposition company w'ould meet all expenses. The President was favorably inclined toward this request, and by his direction tlie Secretaries of the p]xecutive Departments instructed the proper ofheials to select from the exhibits made at the Buffalo Exposition, and send to C-harleston, such objects as would be appropriate for display in the latter ])lace. The Secretary of the Smith- sonian Institution also received a request from the dii-ector-gent'ral that some ]iart of the exhibits of the Institution and National IMusemn at the Buffalo Ex{)ositioii be sent to Charleston at the expense of the exposition company, which recjuest, after due c( m- sideration of all the circumstances, was granted. In his first message to Congress President Roosevelt mentioned the matter ol a Government exhibit at Charleston, as follows: "The people of Charleston, with great energy and civic spirit, are carrying on an exposition which will continue throughout most of the present session of ('ongress. I heartily commend this exposition to the good will of the people. It deser\-es all

the encouragement that can be given it. The managers of the Charleston Exj)osition have requested the ('al)inet officers to place thereat the Government exhibits which have been at Buffalo, promising to pay the necessary exjienses. I have taken the responsibility of directing that this l)e done, for I feel that it is due to Charleston to help her in her praiseworthy effort. In my opinion the management should not be required to pay all these expenses. I earnestly re(!0unnend that the Congress a])pro- l)riate at once the small sum necessary for this inirpose." The space allotted to the Government exhibits was in the seiiucircular coloiuiades connecting the large central building known as the Cotton Palace with two otiier buildings—the Palace of Commerce and the South Carolina Building. These colon- nades were originally designed to be open on the sides, l)ut in order to properly house the Government collections they were enclosed and furnished with windows and skylights. A very good exhibition space was thus obtained at a moderate lti6 lOT) REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM., 1902. expense. The portion of this space assiufned to the Smithsonian Institution and National Museum was on the west side of the grounds, between the Cotton Palace and the Palace of Commerce. Including a small Iniilding called an "exhedra," it comprised 5,682 s(iuare feet. The whole of the curved arcade, comprising 4,727 feet, was occupied by the Museum. After consultation with the officers of the Institution and Museum, anumlierof objects in the Buffalo exhibit which were too large for the space at Charleston, or were otherwise unsuitable, were ordered sent to Washington, and the remainder, com- prising about two-thirds of the original exhibit, were packed separately and for- warded to South Carolina. A number of preparators and mechanics were detailed from Washington to install the exhibit. This work was completed .lanuary 13, 1902, at which time the doors were thrown open to the public. As the collections displayed by the Museum at Charleston were the same as those shown at Buffalo, it is unnecessary to enumerate them here. A full description will be found in the Report for 1901 (pp. 177-231). The principal omissions at Charleston were the larger mammals, a part of the birds, reptiles, and fishes, the larger ethnological groups and the models of aboriginal dwellings, the skeleton of ILsperornh, the collection of native elements, etc. The largest ol)ject exhibited was the skeleton of the huge extinct reptile, Tricera- tops. This stood in a central position, and, on account of the excellent lighting, showed to even better advantage tlian at Buffalo. Around it were groujjed the other geological exhibits, occupying eight cases and comprising minerals, cave deposits, and invertebrate fossils. On the two sides of the central space were the exhibits of the departments of Anthropology and Biology. The principal exhibit of the Department of Anthropology consisted of six large groups, in separate cases, representing native American peoples. These were supple-

mented by collections representing the products of different arts of t he native Ameri- cans, such as basketry and pottery, and native hunting and fishing implements, fire- making devices, etc. The group cases were placed against the west wall in a single row, and opposite them were the smaller cases, nine in number, arranged so as to form alcoves. The exhibit of the Department of Biology, which was at the opposite end of the space, had as its principal feature a case 40 feet long, containing mammals. This was placed against the west wall, and opposite and at the extreme end of the space were the smaller cases, arranged like those of the Dei>artmeiit of Antliropology, in the form of alcoves, and containing characteristic American tishcs, n'])tiles, batra- chians, and birds. The collection remained on exhibition until May 81, 1902, when the exposition closed. At this time preparators were again sent from the Museum to repack the collections, which work was completed June 16, 1902. On January 21, 1902, Congress appropriated $^90,000 to reimburse the exposition company for expenditures made in behalf of the Government exhibit. This appro- priation was not disbursed under the direction of a Government board or of the individual representatives of the several departments and bureaus, but by the Treas- ury Department directly to the exposition company. This arrangement worked somewhat disadvantageously, in so far as the Government exhibits were concerned, as it was necessary for the exposition company to a('tual]y pay out inoney from its own funds before reimbursement could be made by the Treasury. On June 12, 1902, the affairs of the exposition company passed into the hands of a receiver, and no payments could be made until the court a(;ted in the matter. As the president of the exposition company declined to continue paying Government expenses from his private purse, and the court was unable to pass upon the case at once, a consider- able time elapsed during which no bills were settled. It is to be hoped that in similar cases in the future provision will be made for disbursement under the direc- tion of a Government board. APPENDIX VI.

Report of Delp^gate to the Fifth Intkkxatioxai, Zooi.ociicAL Congress, Berlin, August 12-It;, 1'.H>1.

I'n.f. S. P. Langley,

Srcrcfarji, S'inil]isoiil

Dear Sir: I havt> tlie lioiior to sulmiit herewitli a ])v\vi acroiiiit nt' my vinit to tlic Fifth International Zooloirical t'on;.q-css at Ik-rlin, to whicli, on .Inly 1">, IHOI, yon appointed me a delegate to represent the Smithsonian Institution and the I'nited States National IVInsenm. The congress was opened on Angnst 12 and lasted until August 10, when the dele- gates and mem1)ers adjourned to attend the reception given in their honor hy the High Senate of Hand)nrg. The 17tli was spent in Ilanihnrg ins])e('ting the zoological collections there, and on August 18 and 19 most of the nunnhers visited the Marine Biological Station on Heligoland. Having urgent business at the Hand)urg Natur- historisches Museum, I remained there instead of going to Heligoland. The congress was in every respei't a success. Not only was the attendance (about 750 members) greater than at any previous congress, but the standard of the scientific papers and discussions was unexcelled. I need only refer to the lectures by Prof. G. B. Grassi (Rome) on the malaria prol)lem from a zoological standpoint, Prof. Yves Delage (Paris) on the theories of fecundation, Professor Biitschli (Heidelberg) on vitalismus and mechanismus, and Professor Branco (Berlin) on fossil remains of man. One of the main factors of this success was the unexampled interest in the con- gress displayed by th('(i('rman ( iovernment. A large sum of money was placed at the disposition of the local committee l)v the Government, and the German Crown Prince, as the high protector of the congress, was only prevented from opening the congress in person by the death of his grandmother, the dowager Emj)ress Friedrich, a few days previut the most extraordi- nary proof of the ])ublic interest in the congress was probably the fact that tiie entire " Reichstagsgebaiide," the magniticent house of the Glerman I'arliament, was placed at the disposition of the Congress for its meetings, lectures, etc. Thus all the general sessions were held in the great "Plenarsitzungssaal" of the Parliament. The Emperor himself, though prevented from receiving the members oflicially on account of the death of his mother, took occasion to greet them informally. The more special object of my joining the congress was to take part in the delib- erations and decisions of tiie connnittee on zoological nomenclature, of whicli I had been elected a mendjerat the congress in Cambridge in 1898. The work of the com- mittee, which met before the congress opened and continui'd for some time alter its close, occupied so mucli of the time of the members that the meetings of the sections had to be neglected. I was thus prevented from reading a paper on the Herpetology of Porto Rico, which had Invn announced, but was able to act as one of the vice- presidents at the second general session. The work in this I'ommittee on nomencla- ture was, on the whole, eminentlv satisfactory from the standpoint of American if.r 168 KEPOET OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902. zoologists, though it was found impossible to lay a draft for a complete code for the congress at its Berlin meeting. It is hoped that this will be accomplished at the next congress, which is to be held in Berne, Switzerland, in 1904. Very respectfully, Leonhard Steineger, Curator, Dir'mon of Reptiless and Batraddans.
