HE of M u seu m of o T staff the consists a Direct r , eight Curators, A o A o o . two ssociate Curat rs , and a Preparat r The two ss ciate

o a o o o Curat rs and three of the Cur t rs serve with ut remunerati n , n h r o offi of o and a Ot e Curat r is an cer instructi n in the University , giving somewhat more than half of his time to work not solely in the interest of the Museum . It requires no exaggeratio n to show that the number of Curators is wholly inadequate if the present collections and the depart ments now without Curators are to be efficiently cared for and

o o for devel ped . The most urgent needs are active Curat rs

'

M ollu sca Cru stacea o . , , and Vertebrate Palae ntology The disadvantages under which much of the curatorial work is f on o to o o . carried , wing lack room and equipment , is also depl rable To note specifically a single instance : the collectio n Of inverte brate fo ssils was co nsidered twenty or more years ago to be well A provided for a normal increase and development . ppointed 1 12 o o 9 . . o Curat r in , Profess r P E Raym nd has by his knowledge,

o with classified material awaiting distributi n , and large accumula

. o not o tions as yet unstudied These additi ns are duplicati ns , but are in large part fro m faunas unrepresented or poorly represented r o o in p evi usly acquired c llections . The same condition prevails with the collectio ns of lower verte

of . brates , birds , mammals, and with many groups invertebrates

As o of n ted several years ago , the only betterment Museum research facilities involves the eliminatio n or further curtailment of laboratory work in the Museum ; a realiz atio n Of the former would lessen the natural anxiety felt for the safe preservatio n of

o o o o absolutely irreplaceable collecti ns , c llecti ns that sh uld be free

- from the dangers unavoidable with present day experimental work . 4 ANNUAL REPORT OF T HE

This year has been eventful in that during its course the Arthur —

The Loveridge collection was divided with the University of Michi l gan Museum of Z o O o gy . The census of species this year shows ’ only a small gain over last year s . This , however , is due to the fact that many syno nyms were recognized in the card index and most of these have now been eliminated .

Ordovician strata . Nearly all the specimens were o btained from localities recently discovered by Dr . Arthur Keith and Professor

ch ch ert o . o o S u , and were new to the collecti ns A day dev ted t the

Middle Ordovician conglomerates at Mystic , $ uebec , yielded a o f large suite very rare species , some of which proved to be unde scribed . ’ o In September , a visit of ten days durati n to central Maine , S ch u ch ert o to to again with Professor , was dev ted an effort find fo ssils which wo uld determine the age of some of the shales of that

The most important accessio ns of the year were Obtained during f . o o o a trip to Bermuda in January Over fifty small b xes f ssils , o o b mainly land f rms , and ver fifty ottles of soil samples were collected . In additio n to the land fo ssils there are numerous wind- blown

— o m o Foraminifera and a few wind bl wn arine Mollusca in the s ils , o n o and in e locality s me pieces of carboniz ed wo od .

o Dr . T . H . Clark acc mpanied the Curator and aided in the study

o o of the fossil s ils . Three distinct soils were f und at St . o K b er Ge rges , at y Pass five miles southeast of Hamilton , and

T o three at Hamilto n the Curator believes . w distinct soils were found at other places . These soils record interglacial episodes of

o o the Pleist cene period in the opinion of the Curat r .

Dr . Clark has identified the fo ssils and finds that altho ugh they are much the same in the middle and upper soils , the middle soil h a o o s several forms not found in the upper . The l west s il has few o fossils and in most cases none . He has proved that no r cks abo ve sea level in Bermuda are o lder than the Pleisto cene . The Foram inifera have not been identified and Professor Jeffrey h as no t reported on the wood .

z ix . Miss Helen E . Vassar has analy ed s typical soil samples Another visit to Bermuda will be necessary to arrive at decisive o o Oi c nclusi ns c oncerning the interglacial natur e of the s lS . Professor Charles Palach e gave a glaciated Slab of Rockport granite , and Dr . W . B . Lang a splendid core of laminated Capi tan limestone , taken feet below the surface at Culverson
