Miller, Photogravurist SUPERINTENDENT OF MAINTENANCE CHIEF ENGINEER John E. Glynn W. H. Corning •Resigned ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 1925 To the Trustees of Field Museum of Natural History : I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum for the year ending December 31, 1925. Throughout the year, the Museiun has so maintained its activities that pubHc attendance has been notably increased. Frequent mention in the public press of the progress of the Institution and of its expedi- tions, researches and accessions has doubtless been of much aid in increasing popular interest and attendance. This interest has, in turn, served to stimulate the members of the scientific and administrative staff to more strenuous efforts. As is indicated in the following report, the activities and functions of the Museum are ever widening. This is especially true in the advancement of educational work. During the period under review an additional extramiiral program has been inaugtirated which provides for assigning lecturers from the Museum to various parts of the city. On account of the addition of this and other educational and research programs to the activities of the Museimi the year's budget shows a deficit of $35,806.01. Although the Museum has received memorable contributions to its endowment for the purpose of defraying the cost of its enhanced activities, income from these sources is not as yet available. Moreover, despite the increased income provided by the South Park Commissioners from the tax levy, it does not suffice to meet the actual cost of maintenance. The hearty appreciation by the public of the enlarged activities of the Museum has produced a demand for service greater than can be met with the present endowment. With an increased endowment, more entertainment for adults, enlarged facilities for children and students, and a very desirable extension of the educational program to include, specifically, the foreign born, could be provided. The largest single gift received by the Museum during the year was that of Mrs. Anna Louise Raymond, consisting of an endowment of $500,000 and creating a memorial to her husband, the late James Nelson Raymond. The purpose of this fund is indicated in its name, "The James Nelson and Anna Louise Raymond Public School and Children's Lecture Fund." The income from this endowment is paid as an annuity 393 394 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. during her lifetime to Mrs. Raymond. Annuities on endowments of this nature to the Institution are exempt from income tax levies and are also guaranteed against fluctuation in amount. An exhibition hall has been named James Nelson and Anna Louise Ra>Tnond Hall to com- memorate this gift. Securities to the value of $100,000 were transferred to the Museum by Miss Kate Buckingham, who receives as an annuity the interest on her gift. By action of the Board of Trustees, an exhibition hall has been named in memory of the late Clarence Buckingham. The conception of the James Simpson-Roosevelt Asiatic Expedition to the Himalayas, the Pamirs and Turkestan for zoological specimens lay with the Messrs. Roosevelt, Theodore and Kermit, who undertook to furnish their services without remuneration. They were accompanied by the natiu-alist, Mr. George K. Cherrie, and by Mr. Suydam Cutting, a volunteer photographer. The expedition was conducted under the patronage of Mr. James Simpson. According to cable reports, the hunters have met with great success, having secured, among other large mammals, eight specimens of the rare Marco Polo's sheep. Numer- ous birds, reptiles and small mammals are also mentioned in reports. A contribution of $125,000 was received from Mr. Ernest R. Graham, a portion of which, supplemented by an additional $12,000 from President Stanley Field, was used for the purchase of the Egyptian collections made by Professor James H. Breasted. These collections include 580 textiles, 10 bronzes, 154 pieces of alabaster and one black granite statue, representing the architect Senmut. The hall containing the Egyptian collection has been named Ernest R. Graham Hall. Other contributions made by President Field were: $8,000 toward the deficit in the operating budget for 1925; $51,629.50 as a further gift toward the building fund deficit ; the purchase of the skins of the Man- Eaters of Tsavo, now on display, mounted; and, together with Messrs. Henry J. Patten and Charles B. Pike, the gift of the Gunther ethnological and ethnographical collection. President Field also contributed $14,300 toward the Stanley Field Plant Reproduction Fund, of which he is the exclusive patron. The Captain Marshall Field annuity of $100,000 continues to enable the Museum to extend its expeditionary program and to widen the scope of its publications. Most of the expeditions sent out by the Museum during the year were partly or wholly indebted to this fund. A new series of publications, the Technique Series, dealing with museum prac- tice, both administrative and scientific, was inaugurated, two numbers being issued. Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 395 Late in the year, Captain Marshall Field announced his intention to present to the IMuseiun a series of twenty-six sculptures of prize British domestic animals for exhibition in the Department of Zoology. These sculpttires are the work of the well-known English sculptor, Herbert Haseltine. Mr. Richard T. Crane, Jr., gave $30,000 to the Museum for the pur- chase of an admirable set of three life-size groups, cast in bronze, por- traying native Africans engaging in lion spearing. These bronzes are the work of the noted sculptor and taxidermist, Carl E. Akeley. "The Chronicles of America," a series of thirty-four motion picture films, totalling one hundred reels, devoted to American history issued by the Yale University Press, was the gift of Mr. Chauncey Keep in memory of his son, Henry Blair Keep, who lost his life in the World War. These films have already been shown in a children's series and in a series of entertainments for foreign bom citizens. The generous contributions of Mr. Edward E. Ayerto the ornitholog- ical library and the pewter collection which bear his name and to the general zoological library, were continued throughout the year, many rare and valuable additions being made. A collection of 160 rhinoceros-horn libation cups was presented by Mr. John J. Mitchell through the instrumentality of Mr. Ayer. These cups are of particular interest because of the former belief that cups made of this material neutralized poison and rendered the drinker safe from assassination in that manner. Mr. William J. Chalmers continued his annuity for the upkeep and growth of the William J. Chalmers Crystal Collection. A collection containing 38,731 eggs has been deposited with the Museum by Judge R. Magoon Barnes, Assistant Curator of Oology. Judge Barnes will continue to share responsibility with the Museum for the growth and care of this collection during his lifetime, after which it will pass into the sole ownership of the Museum. The first use of the fund provided by Mr. Julius Rosenwald and Mrs. Augusta N. Rosenwald was to defray the expenses of an ethno- logical expedition among the Sauk, Fox, Winnebago and Potawatomi Indians. Mr. M. G. Chandler who undertook this expedition, secured many valuable specimens, reference to which is made elsewhere. The membership campaign has continued to be effective; a con- siderable portion of the greatly increased membership being attributable to the growth in the Museum's activities. The additions to the staff during the year included the appointment of Dr. A. L. Kroeber as Research Associate in American Archeology, 396 Field Museum of Natuil\l History — Reports, Vol. VI. the appointment of Mr. Sharat K. Roy as Assistant Curator in Inver- tebrate Paleontology and the employment of a third guide-lecturer. The resignations of Miss Helen C. Gunsaulus, Assistant Curator of Japanese Ethnology, and Mr. Charles L. Owen, Assistant Curator of Archeology-, are announced. In appreciation of their valuable ser\'ices to science: Mr. Chauncey Keep, Mr. Richard T. Crane, Jr., Mr. Julius Rosenwald and Mrs. Augusta N. Rosenwald were elected Honorary Members of the Museum; Mr. Silas H. Strawn. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, Mr. Kermit Roosevelt and Mr. Frederick C. Hack were elected Patrons of the Mu.seum. Maintenance and improvement in the Museum building received their proper attention during the year. Among the improvements may be mentioned the construction of improved cases for the storage of specimens in various departments and the covering of the skylights in the Department of Botany Library and in the Edward E. Ayer Library. Thirty-four new exhibition cases were built and installed. New book- shelves and other library furniture were installed in the Department of Anthropology Library. Twenty-four large curtain walls were built and installed in the zoological exhibition halls. Iron railing was built around a number of exhibits, 420 feet of railing being installed. Grateful acknowledgement is made to the Clyde W. Riley Adver- tising System for the use during the year of a page in the programs of the theatres of Chicago, and to the transportation companies for the exhibition of posters. LECTURES AND ENTERTAINMENTS General Lectures. — The Forty-third and Forty-fourth Free Lec- ture Courses of Field Museum of Natural History were given in the James Simpson Theatre on Saturday afternoons during the Spring and Autumn months.

Americanization Programs. — In July, 1925, Mr. Chauncey Keep presented the Museiim with the Yale University Press Chronicles of American Photoplays as a memorial to his son, Henry Blair Keep, who lost his Hfe in the World War. The completed series will bring the Museum thirty-four historical motion pictures totaling one hundred reels. At present, fifteen subjects have been made and are lodged in the Museum's vaults. The others will follow as soon as they are released by the Yale University Press. The ownership of these films made it possible for the Museum, with the cooperation of the Citizenship Com- mittee of the Chicago Council of Social Agencies, to join definitely in Chicago's Americanization work; and it did so by arranging two series of American history motion pictures which were shown in the James Simpson Theatre on Sunday afternoons throughout the Autumn. Fol- lowing is the program for the first course: September 20 — "Colimibus." "Jamestown." September 27 — "The Pilgrims." "The Puritans." October 4 — "Peter Stuyvesant." "The Gateway to the West."

The Americanization courses proved most popular, capacity audiences attending them. Entertainments for Children. — Two series of entertainments for children were given in the James Simpson Theatre. The Spring course was composed of a series of motion pictures on natural history, travel and industries, viith one lecture and one introductory talk as special events. The Autumn course combined the Chronicles of America Photoplay's (see Americanization Programs) with natural history sub- jects in a series of fourteen programs. In connection with both courses, Museum Stories for Children were prepared by the guide-lecturers and distributed at each entertainment. Twenty-three stories in editions of from 2000 to 3000 each were so distributed and many additional copies were used as reference material in the schools. Capacity audiences attended the entertainments, the programs for which follow : February 28 — 10:30 a.m. A lecture: "Wild Animals Near Home." Dr. G. Clyde Fisher, American Museum of Natural History, New York City. 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. Moving Pictures: "The Four Seasons." March 7 — "The Story of Beginnings." March 14 — *"Beyond the Snow Line."

LIBRARY The total number of books and pamphlets in all departments of the Library at the close of the year was approximately eighty-seven thou- sand. The total number of accessions for the year was two thousand, four hundred and forty-one. The additions to the Library have been largely through gifts and exchanges. Purchases of books were influenced by the needs of the work in hand in the various departments. The exchanges of the year have been gratifjdng. A nimiber of foreign institutions have sent their publications to assist in filling in or completing their files or have sent IJUi^itiiijlH Ul= JtUilOiS > X _l UJ I- < a: O 1- < < Z UJ S UJ u.

Individual contributors both at home and abroad have continued to show their interest by sending contributions. The niunber of Publications and Leaflets distributed by the Museum during the year has had a stimulating effect on the exchange list. Pub- lications have been received from seven hundred and eight individuals and institutions. The search for ornithological literature has been continued until it has narrowed down to rare desiderata. The result of this year's search has been very satisfactory as it has brought many valuable and rare works to enrich the Edward E. Ayer Ornithological Library. In all Mr. Ayer has presented this year six hundred and thirty-eight volumes. Among the notable works received are : Alpina, 4 volumes, 1806- 1809. Neue alpina, 2 volumes, 1821-1827.

Ayer Ornithological Library that has been in preparation for a couple of years is nearly ready for the press. Originally this was planned to be simply a check list, though a comprehensive and useftd one, but as the work progressed it has become instead a bibHography that contains information and facts that will make it for all time an indispensable manual to every student of orni- thology. The activities of the Library during the year were largely confined to the usual routine work necessary to keep available the material in the Library and the current accessions as they were received. There were written and inserted in the various catalogues ten thousand two hundred and eighty-one cards. From the John Crerar Library were re- ceived and filed eight thousand seven hundred and fifty-four cards. There were sent to the binder}' nine hundred and twenty-foiir volumes of periodicals, serials and other unbound publications. Owing to various conditions it had not been feasible hitherto to make an inventory of the books in the departmental libraries since their final reorganization but this past year an inventory was taken of the anthropological, botanical and zoological libraries. This was necessarily a slow process and consumed much time owing to the various changes that had been made. The results were, however, quite satisfactory. The need of more shelf room in the general library was met by the addition of one stack. A rearrangement of the lighting system made in the stacks has added much to their convenience as well as economy of electricity. A built-in case for the sample backs used in binding was also added. The completion of the Union list of serials of the Hbraries of the United States and Canada is anticipated as a valuable bibliographical aid and the Library is sending in its list of periodicals to be incorporated as the parts are issued. Advantage has been taken of the inter-library loan service for books needed by the staff. This service is of the greatest value to research workers, making available as it does the resources of the libraries of the coimtr}' under an arrangement whereby rare books may be borrowed and lent w^ith insured safety. Acknowledgment of indebtedness is made to the libraries from which books have been borrowed during the year. The Library has been able to reciprocate with loans to other institutions. 4o8 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. DEPARTMENTAL CATALOGUING, INVENTORYING AND LABELING Anthropology. — The work of cataloguing in the Department of Anthropology has been continued as usual during the current year, the number of catalogue cards prepared totaling 4,389. These cards are distributed geographically as follows for the accessions received during the year: South American and Mexican archaeology and ethnology, 2,103; North American archaeology and ethnology, 864; Australia and Africa, 39; Egypt, 3; Melanesia, 27; Micronesia, 7; Polynesia, 157; Europe, 58; China, 165; Japan, 8; Borneo and Java, 115; India and Siam, 3; Ayer pewter collection, 81; total, 3,630. The following cards were prepared this year for accessions received pre\'ious to 1925: South American archaeology and ethnology, 5 ; North American archae- ology and ethnology, 83; Africa, 7; Egypt, 4; Polynesia, 5; Europe, 30; Japan, 22; Korea, i; China, 489; Persia and India, 10; Federated Malay States, 86; Ayer pewter collection, 17; total, 759. The total nimiber of cards prepared was 4,389. Of these cards, 2,389, with the addition of 407 cards for the Arthur B. Jones collection, have been entered in the inventory books of the Department which now number 44, making a total of 2,796 cards entered. The ntimber of annual acces- sions amounts to 84, 64 of which have been entered. Twenty-three accessions from previous years were also entered. The total number of catalogue cards entered from theopening of the first voiimie is 166,685. Several thousand labels for use in exhibition cases were prepared and installed during the year, the nimiber of labels suppHed by the printer totaling 5,100. These labels are distributed as follows: Poly- nesia, 3,272; China, 1,023; Malaysia (Arthur B. Jones collection), 305; Ayer pewter collection, 237; Stanley Field Hall, 129; American Indians, 102; Egypt, 32; total 5,100. The Department was supplied with 8,490 catalogue cards and 150 maps for the cases in the new Pol^mesian Hall. One hundred and forty-one label cards were prepared and added to the label-file. Three hundred and one photographs were added to the departmental albums, and one new album for New Zealand was started. Botany. — In the Department of Botany catalogue, 3,173 entries were made during the year, bringing the total number of catalogue volumes to 63 and the catalogued specimens in the department to 553.249- The entries added to the department card index to collectors number 34, and to the index of geographic localities, 11. About 120 cards were added to the catalogue of plant names. Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 409 About 4,000 new genus covers were pro\'ided, one-half of these for the Illinois Herbarium in connection with its complete reorganization, some himdreds for fungi and the rest for new additions to the main herbarium of flowering plants. Descriptive labels were written during the year for additions to the exhibits in the Hall of Plant Life and various old labels were revised. For the plant economic exhibits labels were prepared for the cane and beet sugar exhibits, for the miscellaneous collection of sugars and for the re\dsed wood distillation products. Geology. — The total number of new catalogue entries for the year was 8,706. The majority of these were of invertebrate fossils of the Borden collection, the cataloguing of which is still in progress. All new accessions received during the year have been catalogued, except the collections of the Captain Marshall Field paleontological expeditions in Argentina and Bolivia of which 434 specimens have been recorded. Cataloguing of the Borden collection of invertebrate fossils per- formed during the year has involved examining a total of 9,621 speci- mens, of which 7,778 have been identified and labeled, and 1,843 o^ previous entry have been checked and labeled. During this work 25 undescribed species have been discovered and the high quality of the collection confirmed. The specimens received from the South American paleontological expeditions have all been unpacked, grouped according to species and placed in trays. A complete catalogue of the Department series of lantern sHdes was prepared and the slides then transferred to the General Files. The total number of slides so catalogued was 1,774. The slides were grouped geographically, labels were provided where they were lacking and any needed repairs on individual slides were made. The miscellaneous collection of large maps, numbering no, was classified and catalogued. The maps were then arranged in drawers in such a way as to make them readily available for reference. With 303 of the topographic maps of the United States Geological Survey there were filed brief labels descriptive of the topographic features shown. Eighty-six additional maps of this series were received dtuing the year, making a total of 2,993 U. S. Geological Survey topographic maps now on hand. All are filed alphabetically by sheets and grouped according to the states. The smaller specimens of meteorites, 611 in nimiber, not suited for exhibition were placed in trays, arranged in alphabetical order and the labeling of each checked. 4IO Field Museum op Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. Sixteen trays were provided for the card catalogue of the Depart- ment library and the catalogue, numbering 4,665 cards, was transferred to them. To the Department photograph albums 554 prints were added during the year, making a total of 4,970 prints in these albums. All except the latest of these are fully labeled. The prints added were chiefly of photographs made by the Captain Marshall Field Expeditions to Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil. A total of 64^ labels was written during the year. These included descriptive labels written for the series of blast furnace models, the cement plant model and for some of the exhibits in Stanley Field Hall. The shorter labels were chiefly for newly installed specimens of crystals, gems, fossils and ores. There were received from the printing depart- ment 590 labels. Zoology. — Regular cataloguing of zoological specimens proceeded at an increased rate. The total number of regular entries was 6,104 as against 3,782 the preceding year. They were distributed as follows: Mammals, 1,477; Birds, 10; Reptiles and Amphibians, 1,535; Fishes, 3,042; Insects, 10. Additional card entries in the index catalogues of mammals and of reptiles nimibered 2,906, making the total of all entries for the year 8,985. In the division of mammals, about one thousand specimens have been labeled, these being largely from the Peruvian collections of 1922- 23. All skulls of the Chilean collection have been numbered and, when identified, have also been labeled. Reptiles and amphibians, for the most part, have been identified, labeled, and shelved. Exhibition labels were prepared for all new exhibits and about 300 labels were printed to replace old ones in the systematic exhibit of fishes in order to make the labeling in this exhibit uniform throughout. Photographic prints in the Department of Zoology, which have received little attention for some years, were subjected to rearrangement and classification. The departmental albums now contain 6,554 prints of which 519 were mounted during 1925 and 1026 were labeled with data as to svibject, locality and source. The state of the catalogues at the end of the year is as follows: Department of Anthropology. .

Of these 65 are by gift, 3 as the result of Museum expeditions, 9 by exchange and 7 by purchase. These accessions aggregate a total of 8,037 objects, and many are of great value and importance. Among the treasures brought back from Egypt by Professor Breasted, the granite statue of Senmut, an architect of the fifteenth century B.C., occupies the first rank. The statue, presented by Mr. Ernest R. Graham, is a Httle under one-third life-size. The famous architect was the guardian of the young princess whom he tenderly carries in his arms. This princess was the daughter of the celebrated Queen Hatshepsut, the first great woman recorded in history. There are three inscriptions on the statue : one of six lines on the front; another, of three lines on the base; and a third, of one line on the plinth behind. According to the six-line inscrip- tion on the front of the architect's garment, the statue was presented to him as a token of favor from the Queen herself, and is therefore the work of a royal sculptor. Senmut was the builder of the magnificent temple of Deir-el-Bahri, close by the tomb of Tutenkhamen, and erected the obelisks of Queen Hatshepsut. The Queen whom he served was an able politician, and he was one of the leaders of the coterie which she gathered about her. Eventually, however, the whole group fell, includ- ing the Queen, and our architect's name was cut out wherever it ap- peared on the monuments of Egypt. It is interesting to note that his name is also effaced on this statue, though there are several places where it is still unmistakable. This, according to Professor Breasted, goes to show that our statue once stood in a public place, and circumstances warrant the conviction that this place could only be the great Kamak temple. This sculpture, therefore, with its inscriptions, is one of para- mount historical interest and importance. The Museum, further, se- cured through Professor Breasted a bronze sistrum and nine excellent bronze statuettes as follows: torso of Taharka, the standing figure of a king of the Middle Kingdom, a royal standing figure with face damas- keened in gold, a seated figure of the goddess Isis, a superb Horus Bird with golden eyes, a standing figure of Nefertem, a standing figure of the Moon-god, a Scorpion goddess, and a sitting figure of Imhotep, the father of architecture in stone masonry, holding an open papyrus roll in his lap. Although the last is only four inches in height, it is a very remarkable portrait statuette of great artistic quality. The granite statue and bronzes, together with a collection of 154 beautiful alabaster 412 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. vases and bowls, were presented to the Museum by Mr. Ernest R. Graham. A magnificent collection of 580 ancient Egyptian and Coptic textiles discovered in tombs and likewise selected by Professor Breasted in Egypt was presented by President Stanley Field. Professor P. E. Newberry, the English expert in textiles, regards this as the best collec- tion of ancient textiles outside the South Kensington Museum of London. It consists not only of numerous panels, medallions, and borders with woven and embroidered designs, but also of complete linen garments in a wonderful state of preservation. It includes a rug (35 x 27 inches) with a heavy nap, decorated with geometric designs in red, blue, green and yellow, according to Professor Breasted, the oldest woven rug in existence (about 200 B.C.). An oil-painting (6x8 feet) representing the Rock Temple at Aboo Simbel, Egypt, and painted in 1874 by Andrew McCallum, has been presented by Mr. Thomas S. Hughes, a well-known art-dealer and connoisseiu- of Chicago. This is a very instructive picture of great archaeological interest. The temple of Aboo Simbel hewn out of the solid rock, with a front 119 feet wide and over a hundred feet high, is one of the marvels of ancient Egyptian architecture, and was built by Ramses II (1292-25 B.C.). The four gigantic statues which adorn the facade, each being 65 feet in height, represent the king himself and are excellent portraits of him. There are also smaller figures representing members of his family, as his mother, wife and two of his daughters. Andrew McCallum was a noted landscapist whose work attracted the favorable notice of Queen Victoria. He was bom at Nottingham, England, in 1828, studied in Paris and Italy, became director of the Manchester School of Art, and died in 1902. The gilt frame of the painting is carved with designs of Egyptian style. Mr. Hughes also presented two very interesting wooden statuettes, one from China and one from Burma, which had been obtained by Sir Thomas Marion Wilson on his travels in 1875. A notable acquisition of great interest is represented by an extensive collection illustrating the culture of a large group of Negro tribes who belong to the western Bantu and inhabit the territory of Cameroon on the west coast of central Africa. This culture area is distinguished by a high development of the industrial arts, particularly in wood and ivory carving, weaving and knitting, beadwork, iron forging and metal casting, and shows the ability of the Negro at its best. In this respect, Cameroon culture displays many affinities with the ancient art of Benin, which is well represented by many good examples in the Museum, and with that of the Sudan. For this reason this new collection connects > X I- < _l Q. »- a: O 0. > O < a: I- < Z UJ _1 < I C/) o Ll o 3 CO < z 1- z u C3 cc < O H Z O Q UJ 0.

There is, however, a remarkable difference between this and the older collections : the latter were more or less haphazardly- brought together, chiefly by way of exchanges, while the new collection, made with intelligence and good judgment, is very comprehensive and affords an accurate and complete view of a well defined culture area. It consists of about two thousand objects of a great variety, most of them old, all of superior workmanship and in a good state of preservation, well determined according to locality and tribe. Three complete figures of dancers — a warrior with mask, knitted suit, shield and spear, one clad with feather dress and mask, and another with a beaded head-dress in shape of a lizard — are especially noteworthy. There are two well-carved wooden beds; two large old wooden drtmis with splendid carvings, the property of once powerful chieftains ; about a himdred sculptured wooden images, and many excellent carved masks, door-posts, and house-posts. Clothing; weapons like bows, crossbows, poisoned arrows, swords, daggers, axes, spears, clubs, shields and fire-arms; baskets, bags, mats, pottery, knives, implements, tools, harness, fishing appliances, orna- ments and musical instruments including fine signal-drirais, are fully represented. The most remarkable achievements of this Bantu culture are bracelets carved from elephant's ivory and complete elephant's tusks carved all over and serving as signal-horns; chieftain's seats of wood gorgeously decorated with colored glass beads; picturesquely beaded calabashes of enormous size, for palm-wine ; beaded head-dresses and other articles of clothing for ceremonial dances; also huge tobacco- pipes of clay, wood, and bronze. The bronze castings of these tribes rival those of Benin, and their wood-carvings are probably the best made in Africa. Many of the latter are portions of chieftain's houses, as door and window frames. About six hundred good negatives taken in Cameroon over twenty years ago and representing scenery, villages, and types of natives accompany the collection. Combined with the former acquisitions from Africa, it will form the nucleus of a new African Hall to be installed during the coming year in Hall D on the ground floor. As a further result of the excavations at Kish a very interesting col- lection of over seven himdred objects was received this year. These include 362 pottery vessels, nimierous stone, shell, bone and metal objects, beads, seals, and cups of ostrich-egg shell. A fine mat from India, woven from ivory threads (6x3 feet), formerly the property of the late Charles B. Cory, Curator of Zoology in the Museiim, was acquired through an exchange with his son. 414 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VL Mr. Edward E. Ayer added seventy-five pieces to his collection of 439 pewters, thus swelling the total to 514 objects. Prominent among these new acquisitions are large Chinese tea-jars and trays of the Ming period (1368- 1643) decorated with inlays of figures and orna- ments in brass, an octagonal Ming tea-pot, each panel inlaid with a mythological figure in brass and copper, two puzzle wine-pots in shape of peaches made by Shen Chen-chou, a famed pewterer of the Kien-lung period (1736-95), candlesticks, colored figures, censers, boxes, tea- caddies, and an old English porringer with two flanges decorated with palmetto designs. Mrs. Edward E. Ayer presented a decanter with a set of four glasses trimmed with elaborately decorated pewter. Mrs. Homer J. Tillotson of Los Angeles presented for the Ayer collec- tion a pewter chalice coated with a fine dark patina and unearthed in 17 15 on moorland in Chester, England. It was found embedded in old masonry together with church manuscripts, books, and records, which prestunably had formed the comer-stone of a chapel. A very large collection of rhinoceros-horn cups from China was pre- sented by Mr. John J. Mitchell of Chicago. The horn of the rhinoceros was chiefly carved by the Chinese into drinking-cups. It was an ancient belief that the rhinoceros devours with its food all sorts of vegetable poisons and that its horn therefore was capable of neutralizing poison. A cup carved from the horn was accordingly credited with the ability to detect poison, and was regarded as an efficient antidote. The cups in this collection range from the Ming (1368- 1643) to the Manchu dynasty, and display a great variety of forms and designs. The natural conditions of the horn are admirably adapted to the artist's intentions. In many of these cups the shape and designs of ancient bronze and jade vessels are skilfully reproduced; others assume the shape of lotus-leaves or lotus-flowers, with admirable carvings in high and undercut reliefs. The collection affords excellent material for a study of Chinese decora- tive motives, as developed diu-ing the last five centuries. Three ornamented tomb-bricks of the Han period, China, are the gift of Miss Kate S. Buckingham, Chicago. Two highly ornamented, so-called "Karen" bronze drums were pur- chased of Dr. Joseph F. Rock, who had obtained them on his expedition in Upper Siam in 1 920. This type of kettle-dnmi presents an interesting archaeological problem, as it is widely distributed over a vast area of southeastern Asia stretching from the Island of Hainan through southern and western China into Upper Burma and Siam, the Malay Peninsula, Java and other islands of the Malay Archipelago. The "Karen" dnrnis made by the Shan of Upper Burma are decorated with figures of frogs. Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 415 in the same manner as the two drums of enormous size from southern China obtained by the Captain Marshall Field Expedition to China in 1923. Together with the six bronze drums from Se-chwan Province in Case 6, Hall 24, the Museum now owns ten of these drums. A remarkable ethnographical collection from the Dayak of eastern Dutch Borneo, comprising 143 objects, was presented by Dr. William O. Krohn of Chicago, who had visited Borneo himself in 1924, with full and interesting data. This collection is the more welcome, as it bears on a group of Dayak tribes not visited by the Arthur B. Jones Expedition and formerly not represented in the Museum. It comprises blow-pipes, swords, spears, good old shields with fine painted designs, costumes, hats, ornaments, wooden masks, mats, baskets, musical instruments, games and toys. A small collection from the Dayak of Dutch Borneo, chiefly consisting of articles of clothing and weapons, is the gift of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Worthington of Chicago. Mrs. Dennis O'Keefe presented a dancing costume of dyed Hibiscus bark fibers from Papeete, Tahiti, of beautiful color and workmanship and unlike an}^hing that the Museiun previously had; a loin-cloth of tapa from Suva, Fiji, and two pieces of tapa from Pagopago and Apia, Samoa, stamped with interesting designs. Four pieces of Samoan bark- cloth or tapa were donated by Mrs. William Larmer, Chicago. Much valuable ethnographical material from Hawaii and the Marquesas was obtained through exchange with the Bishop Museiun of Honolulu. This collection includes stone hammers and adzes, poimders and lamps, samples of tapa and implements used in preparing it, excellent wooden bowls and platters, gourd bottles, whistles and rattles, shell implements, tobacco-pipes, musical instniments, necklaces, Pandanus mats, pillows, and fans, fishing implements and feather work. Among the objects from the Marquesas is a large wooden image which Dr. Linton had obtained while exploring the islands on behalf of the Bishop Museimi. This was an ancestral figure to which htmian sacrifices were made when rain was desired or when cessation of rain was sought. All this material has been utilized in completing the exhibits in the new Polynesian Hall. Much material was gathered by the Captain Marshall Field Expedi- tion to Peru under the leadership of Dr. A. L. Kroeber: 658 pottery ves- sels, 334 lots of pottery sherds, 28 figurines or dolls, 135 textiles, 115 implements for spinning and weaving, 70 other implements of wood and cane, 27 objects of copper and 4 of silver, 29 objects of shell or bone, 36 baskets and mats, 35 calabash vessels, 55 desiccated bodies ^ \ (so-called miimmies), mostly of children, 283 skulls and lots of bones, 107 miscellaneous objects including samples of maize and other food- 4i6 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. stuffs, cotton, wool, feathers, whistles, paint and plaster, stone, false cloth faces of "mummies," aggregating a total of 1,971 objects. Many pieces of pottery are distinguished by artistic quality, being decorated with finely painted designs or fashioned in the shape of fruits. Dr. Kroeber spent ten days in the Musevim in December, studying his col- lection and preparing his report which will be published by the Museum in 1926. The collection is already catalogued and ntmibered, and prep- arations are being made for having a goodly portion of it installed early in 1926. Mr. Edward H. Thompson, to whom the Museiun owes a fine collec- tion from the Maya, presented two large pearls found by him last sum- mer in the sepulchre of the High Priest at Chichen Itza, Yucatan, Mexico. These are believed to be the only pearls ever discovered in the Maya area. Mrs. Charles B. Cory presented man's and woman's costtmies from the Seminole of Florida obtained by the late Curator Charles B. Cory during his explorations in Florida in 1894, a record of which is pre- served in his book "Hunting and Fishing in Florida" (Boston, 1896). As a personal souvenir of Professor Cory and because the Museum possesses little from the Seminole, this gift is much appreciated. Mr. M. G. Chandler's expedition to the Central Algonlpan tribes of the Chicago area, under the Rosenwald fund, resulted in a collection of 320 objects representing clothing, mats, bags, clubs, spoons, mortars, saddles, snowshoes, flutes, pipes, bundles and other ceremonial objects of the Potawatomi, Menominee, Winnebago, Misstassini and Chippewa. The most important specimens collected among the Potawatomi tribe are ceremonial articles, including a Wabano drum, a Medicine Lodge drum and quilled otter for the Medicine Lodge with other medicine bags, and medicine slabs made of wood and bearing designs representing herbs used as drugs. The most attrac- tive articles for exhibition are those decorated with appliqu6 work. A very fine series of these was obtained, including most of the techniques and designs practised by these people in early days. This work re- sembles quite closely that of the Miami tribe, the designs being much smaller than those used by other tribes in this locality. These specimens are far superior to any these people now wear at their ceremonies, and evidently have been handed down as heirlooms for several generations. Many were reluctant to part with these treasiires, fearing that the de- signs might be lost for them. Among the Menominee, Mr. Chandler obtained a rare conjurer's outfit consisting of a bag that contains a mounted loon-head which can be so manipulated that it will rise out of Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 417 the bag, stare around at the spectators and then disappear. He also secured the medicine which is said to improve the abiHty of the loon- head to perform in this manner. The quilled otter and buckskin leggings collected by him among the Winnebago, will serve to round out the Museum collection from this tribe. Mr. Homer E. Sargent of Pasadena, California, added 29 baskets from the Indians of Arizona and California to his former very substantial contributions in Indian baskets, and presented an exceedingly fine Saltillo scrape (8x4 feet) decorated with geometric designs in red, blue, and black on a white background, likewise a pair of snowshoes from the Chippewa, an axe, a spear-head, and a dagger beaten out of a nugget of native copper by Copper Center Joe, an Indian of the Aishihik tribe in the Yukon Territory of Alaska, and reproducing exactly these copper weapons as made in ancient times. A buckskin skirt and apron, ornamented with abalone shells and Chinese coins, of a Karok girl was presented by Miss G. Nicholson of Pasadena, California. A gift of ten feather head-dresses of the Hupa, California, was made by Mr. Edward E. Ayer. Interesting collections of Crow and Cheyenne medicines and medicine bundles were obtained through exchanges with Mr. W. Wildschut of Billings, Montana, and Mr. M. G. Chandler, Chicago. A very important collection from the Hopewell and other motmds of Ohio, amounting to 369 objects, was secured by exchange with the Ohio State Museum, Coliunbus, Ohio. It includes celts, mica and obsidian objects, copper ornaments, pipes, bone awls, and tools, and rounds out the Hopewell collection of the Museimi very efficiently. Several fine bird stones, gor- gets, and discoidals were received as the result of an exchange with Mr. H. L. Johnson of Clarksville, Tennessee. Much interesting material was obtained by way of exchange with the Logan Musetmi of Beloit College, Beloit, Wisconsin, especially many prehistoric copper and chipped flint implements and grooved stone axes trom Wisconsin, stone celts from other parts of the United States, many implements from the stone age of Denmark, a fine pottery vase from Chancay, Peru, and another made by the Yuma of California. A collection of clothing, weapons, and implements from the Copper Eskimo living aroimd Coronation Gulf, Canada, was purchased of Mr. John G. Worth, Philadelphia, and will make an interesting ad- dition to the Eskimo exhibits in which this group was heretofore not represented. A miscellaneous archaeological and ethnographical collection, con- sisting of 361 objects from all parts of the world, and formerly the prop- 41 8 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VL erty of Mr. C. F. Gunther, a well-known Chicago collector, is the joint presentation of President Stanley Field, Mr. Henry J. Patten, and Mr. Charles B. Pike. The late George Manierre, trustee, presented a col- lection of 281 objects, among these being interesting tobacco-pipes from North America, Mexico, and Japan, numerous stone implements and pieces of prehistoric pottery from Illinois, the Mississippi Valley and other parts of North America, and baskets from California and obsidian flakes from Mexico. Botany. — Nearly 9,000 specimens, distributed among 57 acces- sions, were added to the collections of the Department of Botany during 1925. Approximately 2,000 of these were received as gifts, 2,154 i^ exchange, and over 3,600 by purchase, while 1,215 were secured on Museum expeditions. Although the greater portion of these collections consists of herbarium material there are 627 specimens of economic or exhibit interest, not including in this number a collection of woods which contains 275 pieces. The larger or more significant gifts of herbarium specimens include a collection of Cycads from Professor C. J. Chamberlain, consisting of 23 species secured in various parts of the world by the donor and grown by him in the conservatory at the University of Chicago. It comprises the species upon which Dr. Chamberlain's well-known research has been based and constitutes a notable addition to the herbarium. A collection of North American plants, mostly from Illinois, by Mr. H. C. Benke is especially representative of the grass and sedge flora of the Fox River Valley and was obtained over a period of years, following the suggestion of Dr. C. F. Millspaugh. Mr. Benke's exhaustive and discriminating field-work has determined more definitely the ranges within the state of many species, not a few of which he has recorded for the first time from localities where they were not known to grow. His gift of 487 specimens dining 1925 will therefore be of particular value to students of the local flora; and, as it also contains a quantity of interesting speci- mens from many other states from Florida and Louisiana to Wisconsin, and from California, it is one of the most welcome accessions of the year. In addition to the carefully mounted material for the Museum herbarium, there were 75 duplicates to be used for exchanges. Mr. Benke also presented the Museum with 32 photographic plates and prints, some of them hand colored, made by him in the city parks pur- posely for the use of the Department of Botany. Another collection of 300 flowering plants mostly from Arkansas was presented by Mr. H. E. Wheeler. This is an excellent representation of the flora of that state, includes many of the rarer species and augments most desirably Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 419 the Museum collection from Arkansas. Twenty-four photographs of species of mints, unrepresented in the herbarium, were given to the Museum by Dr. Carl Epling of the University of California, Southern Branch. A set of 250 sheets of New Zealand ferns were received from Mr. S. W. Weis and added to the Museum's growing fern herbarium. Mrs. Annie Nethercote contributed 300 European and American speci- mens, collected by her during various sojourns abroad and on trips in the United States, which were found to contain a num- ber of plants representative of interesting localities. Mr. D. C. Peattie contributed a set of 121 selected plants from the dune region of Indiana, on the flora of which the donor is an authority. The Musetun's representation of the plants of the region thereby becomes nearly complete. The more important accessions of economic specimens include a gift from the Com Products Refining Company of samples of all of their more recently developed products not included in the series of com products presented by them several years ago. These will be added to the food products shown in the plant economic exhibits. A large collection of woods, American and foreign, was presented by Mr. R. R. Stone of Chicago. Among the specimens are many highly desirable additions to the reference and exhibit collections. Two fine sections of Quebracho wood from Argentina were received as a gift from the Tannin Extract Company of Brooklyn. Other gifts during the year were: i specimen of tobacco captured by Confederate General Gillon near Russellville, Tenn., from Mr. J. A. Andrews, Chicago; i herbariiun specimen of the Fox Grape, Indiana, from the Honorable J. R. Churchill, Boston, Mass.; 2 specimens of palms, Florida, from Dr. B. E. Dahlgren, Chicago; 6 specimens of wood distillation products from Florida Wood Products Company, Jacksonville, Florida; 2 herbarium specimens of mosses, Washington, from Mr. Julius Friesser, Chicago; i specimen showing the destruc- tive work of ants on wood from Mr. J. P. Hallberg, Winegar, Wis- consin; I Hchen, Arctic Region, from Mr. Alfred S. Johnson, Chicago; 4 herbarium specimens, Illinois, from Mr. J. F. Macbride, Chicago; I herbarium specimen of Coronilla varia L., Michigan, from Mr. James McCurragh, Portage Point, Onekawna, Mich. ; i herbarium specimen of Amyris elemifera L., the timber tree called "Melon," Central America, from Dr. S. A. Padilla, Salvador, Central America; i grass specimen, Illinois, from Mr. James H. Palmer, Chicago; i specimen of the rare Zaccagnia, Argentina, from Dr. J. N. Rose, Washington, D. C; 4 herbarixmi specimens of Bidens, Costa Rica and Brazil, from Dr. E. E. 420 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. Sherff, Chicago; i fungus specimen, Minnesota, from Dr. M. S. Whetstone, Minneapolis, Minn. The accessions accredited to expeditions are as follows: As a resiilt of the collecting by A. C. Persaud in British Guiana, pro- vided for imder the Captain Marshall Field Expedition Fund, there were received early in the year specimens of woods from the upper Demerara River country'- accompanied by 51 herbarium specimens pertaining thereto, together with duplicate sets of these for distribution. The collections made by Dr. A. Weberbauer during six weeks early in 1925, also under the Captain Marshall Field Fimd, totaled 254 collec- tion numbers comprising over 1,000 specimens. Many of these are now being determined by specialists in certain plant groups and pre- liminary reports indicate that this material is a most important addition to the Museum's rich Peruvian herbariimi. Although not included in the accessions for 1925 (the material not having been received) mention may be made here of the botanical work during this year in Peru and Chile of Dr. F. W. Pennell of The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia to which the Museum contributed from the Captain Marshall Field Fund. Dr. Pennell was unusually successful, securing 2,620 numbers or about 10,000 specimens. Of the great amount of desirable material received in exchange from other institutions special mention can be made only of the larger collec- tions; for example, 181 sheets from Pomona College, Claremont, Cali- fornia, sent through Dr. P. A. Munz; 90 specimens from the University of California, Southern Branch, through the coiurtesy of Dr. Carl Epling; 1089 specimens from the U. S. National Museiim, communicated by Dr. W. R. Maxon and his associates; 142 specimens from the United States Department of Agriculture; 500 specimens from the Hungarian National Museiun of Budapest and 151 from Professor Arthur de Jaczewski. All of these sets contain plants not before represented in the herbarium. One herbariimi specimen from Peru was also received in exchange from the Missouri Botanical Garden. Most of the purchased collections were of interest either as coming from parts of the world imperfectly known botanically or from regions inadequately represented in the herbariimi. Among the former may be mentioned two lots by Mr. Jose Steinbach from Bolivia; 90 from Salvador, collected by Professor Salvador Calderon, and containing many interesting types of the flora of Central America; 300 Chilian plants from Dr. E. Werdermann of Santiago, mostly representative of the coastal flora of that country and of exceptional interest to American botanists because of the points of similarity between the vegetation of Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 421 Chile and the western United States; Mr. W. E. Broadway furnished a collection of 638 items from Trinidad, of which 43 were wood specimens and 1 12 fruits and seeds. Among the latter were a series of 350 Arizona specimens bought from Professor H. C. Hanson of the University of Nebraska; a set of 226 collected in Sweden and Norway and another of 203 in Mexico, both purchased from Mr. G. L. Fischer of Houston, Texas; and a collection of 231 sheets of New England plants obtained from Mr. C. H. Knowlton of Hingham, Massachusetts. A purchase of economic material consisted of an admirable lot of seeds illustrating 500 weed seeds, each contained in a glass vial and carefully labeled. It was sectu-ed from the collector, Mr. R. H. Greer of Western Springs, 111. The remaining purchases were of crj'-ptogamic plants: American lichens from Dr. G. K. Merrill of Rockland, Maine; Jaap Ftmgi Exsic- cati from South America bought from Mr. T. O. Weigel, Leipzig, in continuation of the subscription by Dr. E. T. Harper whose great col- lection of fungi was given to the Museimi. Particularly valuable is a series of 142 algae from Barbados, secured from Miss Mary H. Shaw, 41 Mercers Road, Tufnell Park, London. Geology. — Through the continued interest and generosity of Mr. William J. Chalmers, 109 specimens of rare, crystalhzed minerals, all of occurrences or species entirely new to the collection, were received by gift. These specimens included gem minerals from Brazil, among which were blue, red and green tourmalines, euclase and topaz; a full series of the rare raditim minerals curite, soddite, slodowskite etc., from Africa; the largest known crystal of monazite; specimens of the rare species ferrierite and foshagite and a number of unusual occurrences from European localities. Three cut diamonds of different colors, each weighing about .3 carats, from the mines of the Ozark Diamond Mining Co., Murfreesboro, Arkansas, were presented by Mr. Howard A. Millar. From the same donor and Mr. Austin Q. Millar, there were received 21 specimens of the rocks and minerals associated with the diamonds of that locality. Mr. H. E. Wheeler gave a series of sixty specimens of the minerals of Magnet Cove, Arkansas. A large variety of crystals of brookite, rutile and schorlomite was included in this col- lection as well as a nimiber of the unique minerals and rocks of this localit3^ An excellent specimen of one of the trees which grew in the Carbon- iferous period and formed coal beds was received by gift from Mr. Walter G. Zoller. The specimen shows a complete section across the 422 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. trunk of a Carboniferous tree 28 inches in diameter and with spreading roots at the base. It was obtained from the Zeigler No. i coal mine at Zeigler, Illinois, and was collected with such care that many of the surface details are preserved. A cast showing a nest of fossil dinosaur eggs from Mongolia was presented by the American Museum of Natural History. Casts of skulls of the reptile, Protoceratops, and of the large carnivorous mammal, Andre wsarchus, from Mongolia, and of the skull and limbs of the early horse, Pliohippus, from a United States locality were donated by the same institution. A number of specimens of fossil corals, most of them polished, were received. Of these, fifteen specimens from Michigan were presented by Mrs. Mary S. Perry and eleven specimens from Iowa by Mr. John Davis. Two poHshed slabs of Ozora marble of the size adopted as standard for the Museum collection were presented by the Ozora Marble Quarries Co. The Sail Mountain Co. gave eleven specimens of the various asbestos products which they manufacture from the crude material, specimens of which had pre- viously been received. The Illinois Clay Products Co. gave six speci- mens of their products and related materials. The Banner Rock Products Co. gave five specimens illustrating a rock wool and some of the fabrics made from it, which they manufacture. This "wool" is unique in being made from limestone. Another economic specimen of interest received by gift was a large mass of the historic gold-bearing black quartz of Calaveras County, California. This was presented by Mr. John G. Elliott. Mr. Julius W. Butler presented 38 specimens of ores and minerals including a fine specimen of chalcedony, from previously unrepresented localities in Montana and Idaho. Two interesting additions to the collection of concretions received by gift were four hematite concretions from North Carolina presented by Mr. Charles B. Cory and ten specimens of the typical claystones of the Connecticut Valley given by Mr. Felix E. Mittau. A specimen of a new individual of the Bingara, Australia, meteorite was presented by Prof. George W. Card of Sydney, AustraHa. All remaining specimens which had not previously been received of the collections of the Captain Marshall Field Paleontological Expedition to Argentina and Bolivia arrived during the year. The consignment totaled 43 boxes, containing chiefly collections made in Bolivia. Specimens of several meteorite falls new to the Museum collections were added by exchange. These included three individuals of the Johnstown, Colorado, fall obtained from the Colorado Museum of Natural History; from Harvard University a full-sized section of the New Baltimore, Pennsvlvania, meteorite and from individuals, repre- Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 423 sentative specimens of the Tucson-Carlton, Arizona, and Olivenza, Spain, meteorites. Specimens of several Brazilian minerals, including the very rare species tripuhyite, were obtained by exchange with Dr. Jorge Ferraz of Rio de Janeiro. Some specimens of cut gem stones not hitherto represented in the gem collection were procured by purchase. These included 5 cut blue zircons, 2 Australian opals, 6 variously colored "tiger-eyes" and 7 unakites. Ten of the Gilmore restorations of extinct dinosaurs and other reptiles were purchased. These restora- tions, on a scale from 1/30 to 1/6 of the natural size of the animals, give presimiably accurate representation of the living aspect of these strange creatures. A partially complete skeleton, including a fine skull and jaws, nearly complete limbs and some other bones of the extinct American horse, Equus scotti, from Texas, was also purchased. Zoology. — Zoological specimens were accessioned to the number of 11,479. They are divided as follows: Mammals, 613; birds, 1,238; birds' eggs, 5; reptiles and amphibians, 1,710; fishes, 1,586; insects, 4,377; shells and other invertebrates, 1,952. Large collections obtained by several expeditions in 1925, notably the African and Asiatic expedi- tions, have not yet been received. Of the total accessions, therefore, only 1,361, are to be credited to museum expeditions. An important gift of mammals for the year was the pair of famous man-eating lions, which were purchased and presented by President Stanley Field. Other gifts included 40 small mammals from Alaska, presented through Mr. H. B. Conover and comprising a nimiber of species new to the Museum. Mammals purchased were mainly from South America, 124 from Chile, 89 from Brazil, and 17 from Bolivia. Among them was a well prepared skin and skeleton of the Giant Arma- dillo, an animal of striking character, so much larger than other modem armadillos as to suggest some of their extinct relatives. From expedi- tions, 196 mammals were received from Central Africa, 5 from Asia, and 17 from British Colimibia. In the division of birds, 940 specimens were purchased, 224 were received from expeditions, 63 by gift, and 11 by exchange. Of those purchased, over six hundred were from eastern Brazil, in the states of Maranhao, Ceara, and Piauhy in what is omithologically perhaps the least known part of South America. Besides specimens from South America, birds were received also from the United States, Canada, Honduras, Formosa, Japan, India, Congo, and Austria. Of the 1,710 reptiles and amphibians received, 939, or more than half, were obtained through exchange. From the American Museum of 424 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. Natural History 691 specimens were added to the collections in partial exchange for the preparation of scientific reports on the reptiles and amphibians of the Third Asiatic Expedition. Other exchanges of reptiles were 'conducted with the University of Oklahoma, the Museum of Comparative Zoology, the Zoological Society of San Diego, the New York State Museum, and Mr. L. S. Frierson, Jr. Gifts of reptiles included 69 specimens from Negritos, Peru, presented by Mr. Axel A. Olsson; 52 specimens from Louisiana by Mr. L. S. Frierson, Jr.; 41 from South Dakota by Prof. L. Alfred Mannhardt; 43 from Wisconsin by Mr. F. J. W. Schmidt; and 24 from California by Mr. L. M. Klauber. Accessions in the division of fishes include 730 specimens by gift, 372 from Museimi expeditions, 348 by exchange and 136 by purchase. As in former years, contributions from the Lincoln Park Aquarium were important and valuable. Three lots were received from this source dur- ing the year, 198 specimens in all. Among them were several species not otherwise represented in the Museum and some, received in fine condition, were mounted for exhibition. Other donations of fishes were received from Mr. Hans Krueger of Spooner, Wisconsin, Mr. Gustav Mann of Chicago, and Mr. Julius Friesser of Chicago. An ex- change with the United States National Museum resulted in the acquisi- tion of 326 specimens from the republic of Salvador and another with the University of Michigan, although of only 22 specimens, in- cluded paratypes of several recently described species. Some 200 specimens of fishes collected incidentally by Mr. L. L. Walters on the Captain Marshall Field expedition to Georgia formed a fiurther impor- tant accession. Most of the 4,377 insects accessioned were exotic species and all were donations except 53 specimens obtained by Captain Marshall Field expeditions. The largest and most valuable gift, received from Dr. B. E. Dahlgren, consisted of 3,007 Guianan wasps and ants with 160 of their nests. This acquisition was of special value because the nests of nearly all the species were represented. Examples of insect architecture, on account of the aggressive nature of most of the builders, are by no means common in collections. Other gifts of insects include 392 butterflies, moths, and beetles from Dr. and Mrs. C. E. Hellmayr; 359 Norwegian insects from Dr. Sven Narbo; and 343 African butterflies and moths from Major A. M. Collins. Prof. G. H. French of Herrin, Illinois, pre- sented five types of butterflies and moths described during his long and active career as a teacher and entomologist. Gifts of invertebrates, other than insects, consisted mainly of a collection of 1,952 East Indian shells donated by Mrs. W. J. Ammen of Chicago. Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 425 EXPEDITIONS Anthropology. — The Museum maintained fotu- expeditions this year in the interest of the Department of Anthropology. The Field Museimi-Oxford University Joint Expedition to Kish, Mesopotamia, resumed work October 15th, 1924, and continued its operations without interruption imtil March 15th of this year. Mr. Ernest Mackay, field director and excavator, was this season assisted by Mr. Talbot Rice of Christ Church, Oxford; and Father Eric Burrows S.J., an Ass3^riologist of Oxford, was sent out as a substitute for Professor Langdon whose professorial duties prevented his absence from the uni- versity. The work was concentrated on completing the excavation of the early Sumerian palace partially excavated a year previously, and on extensive research in the vast city ruins of eastern Kish, where remark- able discoveries of omeiform tablets and objects illustrating the daily life of the Babylonians of the time of Nebuchadnezzar had been made early in 1924. A rich har\-est of beautiful copper utensils, gold jewels and ornaments of precious stones rewarded the excavators in the great Simierian palace. Copper mirrors and hairpins tipped with lapis- lazuli knobs, as well as copper vanity cases containing manicure sets of pincers, tongs and nail-files, together with paint dishes and remains of brushes for coloring lips, cheeks and eyebrows, afford an intimate glimpse into the boudoir of a Simierian lady. The excavations were suspended temporarily to permit Mr. Mackay to do research-work in the Island of Bahrein on behalf of Sir Flinders Petrie. Active operations were re- sumed at Kish last October, and Professor Langdon has left for Baghdad personally to take charge of the work which will be extended to a site sixteen miles from Kish, where a very ancient settlement, now named Bughatait, has been discovered. At this place painted pottery and clay tablets inscribed in pictographic script were discovered during last season. It is projected also to proceed now to excavate the great temple of the mother goddess of Kish situated near the palace in eastern Kish, called Harsagkalamma in the inscription recovered last year at the Library IMoimd. Mr. Dudley Buxton, lecturer in physical anthropology at the University of Oxford, and Mr. Henry Field are on their way to Baghdad to join Professor Langdon. It is their intention to secure data and photographs of the present inhabitants living aroimd Kish for cor- relation with the skeletal material dug up diiring the last year. In view of the universal interest of the public in the Museimi's work at Kish and ninnerous inquiries received from all parts of the country and abroad, the Director takes pleasure in annotmcing that the first re- port of Mr. Mackay 's excavations of the cemetery "A" at Kish has been 426 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. published b}^ the Museum and is now available for distribution. He also desires to call attention to Professor Langdon's book "Excavations at Kish," Vol. I, published this year, copies of which are for sale at the entrance of the Museum. As Professor James H. Breasted of the University of Chicago visited Egypt on behalf of the Oriental Institute of the University in the begin- ning of the year, the Museiun availed itself of this opportunity and asked for his co-operation in extending the Egyptian collections of the Institution. Plans for the future development of the Egyptian Section were discussed with Professor Breasted, and it was decided to increase the collections at present along the line of statuary, alabasters, and textiles. In accordance with this plan he secured for the Museum a gi'anite statue of the architect Senmut, 9 fine bronze figtu-es, i rare bronze sistnmi, 154 alabaster vases and bowls, and a magnificent collec- tion of 580 Egyptian and Coptic textiles including many complete garments and rugs. Under the auspices of Captain Marshall Field, Dr. A. L. Kroeber, professor of anthropology at the University of California, was entrusted with an archaeological mission to Peru for the specific purpose of deter- mining culture periods by means of stratigraphic methods. He arrived at Lima January 20 and left Peru July i. The season and the quite excep- tional weather conditions in February and March, resulting in swollen rivers that remained high for months subsequently, practically dictated a limitation of operations to the coast region. The area from Lima south to Nazca, a stretch of 250 miles, was selected for excavations. It com- prises ten consecutive coast valleys which are: Chillon, Lima, Chilca, Mala, Asia, Canete, Chincha, Pisco, lea, and Nazca. Two of these valleys. Mala and Asia, are wholly unexplored. Canete, the next valley beyond them, which is considerably larger and richer, was also found to be tinknown scientifically, although more or less rifled by pot- hunters. Consequently his principal efforts were concentrated on this valley at one site of which he succeeded in discovering a type of pottery and culture new to science. It is a varied type of the wide-spread ancient culture of Nazca. After some search he was fortunate in finding remains of this culture stratified below the remains of the later, but likewise pre- historic, Chincha culture. In the valley of Lim^ he also discovered a stratification which proves definitely that the ctilture and pottery type known as Proto-Lima is earlier than the Chancay and related cultures which are most commonly found in and about Lima. These two stratifi- cations bear on the history of the development of ancient Peruvian civiHzation, and, inasmuch as only about four deposits of this kind Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 427 have been heretofore encountered or at least recorded, the discovery of these two may be regarded as very fortunate and significant. One northern valley, that of Trujillo, was briefly visited as a check and balance on the work in the south. An interesting collection of 181 speci- mens was secured there, containing several pieces of pottery of a new type and suggesting the presence somewhere in northern Peru of a type of ancient civilization which is still unknown. Dr. Kroeber states that the archaeological exploration of Peru is much less complete than is generally supposed ; not more than half of the coast and not more than one-tenth of the interior are scientifically known. The available data suffer from being disconnected. The greatest need is for exploration which is systematic and continuous in regard to the areas covered. Dr. Kroeber was aided in his work by the s>Tnpathetic co-operation of the Peruvian Government and the active support of Dr. J. C. Tello, Director of the Peruvian Museum of Archaeology. It is planned that Dr. Kroeber will visit Peru again next summ.er on behalf of the Institution. It is gratifying to report that an endowment made by Julius and } Augusta N. Rosenwald has enabled the Department to resume work among the North American Indians. Arrangements were made with Mr. M. G. Chandler, who for many years lived among the central Algonkian tribes, has an unusually intimate knowledge of their customs, and by adoption is a member of the Potawatomi. This tribe once occu- pied the site of Chicago, at the time of the first white settlement, and it seemed desirable to gather and preserve as many relics as possible of the Indians who formerly inhabited the Chicago vicinity, with a view to forming an exhibit parallel to that of the mammals and wild flowers of the Chicago region. During August, October and November, Chand- ler visited the Potawatomi and the related tribes, as the Menominee, Winnebago, Misstassini, and Sauk and Fox, widely scattered over Iowa, Kansas, and Michigan; the use of an automobile permitted him to reach many small detached and roaming groups of these Indians. He first camped at Crow Settlement in the Menominee Reservation, where he obtained a good Menominee collection, and then proceeded to the Winnebago settlement near Wittenberg, where several good specimens from that tribe were procured. A brief visit was paid to the Potawatomi settlement to the northeast of the Menominee Reservation, but it seemed advisable to proceed to Kansas for collecting Potawatomi ma- terial. Before his departure Chandler attended two important cere- monies of the Menominee, — a summer feast and a dream-drum cere- mony. The summer feast is held by the pagan Menominee to keep up the characteristic native games of the men and women. Among the articles received from these people, and also later from the Potawatomi 428 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. are small bundles, called "Man's Business" and "Woman's Business." The former contain at least a miniature La Crosse racket, but may also include a miniature La Crosse ball, a miniature war-club, bows and arrows, or even a small canoe. Offerings of tobacco are made to these articles from time to time, for the purpose of obtaining success in games or vocations. At this summer feast the games called " Man's Business" and "Woman's Business" are played. In the morning La Crosse is played by the men, and in the afternoon bow and counters by the wom^en. The La Crosse racket bears a certain resemblance in outline to a ball-headed war-club, the latter being the weapon carried by the Thunders. The drum ceremony was held for a rather unusual purpose. Four drums were set up within the dance enclosure with all the sacred paraphernalia which go with each drum, and representatives of the four dnmi societies were present. The purpose of the ceremony was to notify the Winnebago of the intention of the Menominee to present them with two of these drums. The drums were used successively by a group of musicians who passed from dnmi to drum in a clockwise direc- tion; that is, following the movement of the sun, from east to south, and south to west, and west to north. At the close of the day speeches were made to the visiting Winnebago, expressing the intention of the Meno- minee to give them the two drums intended for them, the Winnebago making return speeches. A trip was then made to the reservation near Mayetta, Kansas. There Mr. Chandler was the guest of John Shaubena, grandson of the original Shaubena who was chief of the Potawatomi, Chippewa, and Ottawa during the Blackhawk War, at which time he proved a valuable friend to the white settlers of the Chicago region. At this reservation practically every family is from the vicinity of Chicago. They were holding their annual fair, which includes parades and dancing in costume. Many specimens were located, and those most interesting were purchased. In October, he again went to Wisconsin, stopping at various Winnebago camps. On his way there he made connection with Potawatomi related to him by adoption, who daily offered specimens in quantity and of a quality far superior to anything he had suspected them of owning. The difficulty in this region was that the distances between homes were so great and the country so wild that trails could not be traversed by automobile, so that it was not possible to visit many families in a day. He witnessed several meetings of the Medicine Lodge held in an isolated spot in Forest County, Wisconsin, and, though it is contrary to the rules of this organization to admit outsiders to the lodge, an exception was made in his favor, and he was able to take notes on the ceremony, which he hopes to write up later. The ceremony resembles the Menominee and Ojibway rites more closely Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 429 than that of the Winnebago. The last move of the expedition was most fruitful, as during this time the greatest quantity of rare Potawatomi material was collected, which now places the Museum in possession of a representative collection from this tribe. Assistant Curator Linton left at the end of October for an ethnologi- cal exploration of the island of Madagascar, where he is planning to stay for about two years. During November he spent two weeks in England, studying the Polynesian and Madagascar collections in the British Aluseum of London, as well as in the museums of Cambridge and Oxford. He proceeded to Paris, where he established connection with French officials and institutions, and sailed December i6th from Marseilles for Madagascar. Botany. — The Captain Marshall Field Botanical Exploration in Peru was continued during 1925 by Dr. A. Weberbauer. He collected for six weeks in February and March in the Province of Moquegua and the Department of Tacna, securing 242 numbers or over 1,000 specimens. His material is of great interest and has been organized ready for determination. Upon completion of this, the largest duplicate set still available is being sent to the Botanical Garden and Museum of Berlin in accordance with the collector's stipulation. In this connection it is very satisfactory to record that Dr. Diels, Director of the Garden has generously offered the Field Museum as complete a set as possible of essential portions of the Weberbauer botanical types collected before the war, which are deposited at Berlin. Since these specimens are not now available in this country this will be an acquisition of the greatest value to American botanists studying western South American plants. Another important addition to the herbarium of South American plants will be a set of the collections made in 1925 in Peru and Chile by Dr. F. W. Pennell under the joint auspices of The Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, the Gray Herbariimi of Harvard University, Mr. Oakes Ames (for the Ames Botanical Laboratory) and the Field Museum of Natural History (under the Captain Marshall Field Fimd) . His work in Peru, over a period of several months, centered about Arequipa and Cuzco in southern Peru and about Canta, northeast of Lima. In Chile he collected chiefly in the Cordillera near Santiago and south as far as the island of Chiloe. He obtained 2,620 numbers or about 10,000 specimens. In a preliminary report to the Director, Dr. Pennell has stated: "If I may interpret the results by my success in obtaining Scrophulariaceae, it is evident that the collections will con- tain much that is new to science." 430 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. Mr. A. C. Persaud, who for some years had been collecting British Guiana woods, early in the year was obliged by sickness to give up the work which he was then carrying on along the Demerara River above Wismar. News of his death in Georgetown on July 3 1 was received with great regret. His reliable collections, accompanied with herbarium specimens are unique among the department's accessions of woods from tropical countries. It is only on the basis of such collections that the knowledge of foreign woods can be systematically advanced. Geology. — During the year the Captain Marshall Field Paleonto- logical Expedition to Argentina disbanded temporarily after storing the equipment. Some reconnaissance work was subsequently carried on by Associate Curator Riggs along the southern coast of the Province of Buenos Aires and westward in the Territory of Neoquen with a view to planning future collecting. Two months were then spent by Mr. Riggs in visiting European museums on the return trip. Summarizing the material collected by this expedition since its entry into the field in the fall of 1922, it includes fossil mammals from Eocene, Oligocene, and Miocene formations of southern Argentina and from the Pleistocene formation of Bolivia, also fossil shells and plants from the marine Oligocene and dinosaurs from the Upper Cretaceous formation of Argentina. The Pleistocene fossil mammals collected in Bolivia include skulls and partial skeletons of the horse, Equus andeum, the short-legged, but horse-like Hippidium, species of llamas and related animals, some of which approach the modern camel in size; also skulls, jaws and tusks of Mastodon of distinctly South American species. Along with these immigrants from other continents were collected specimens of native stocks, including skeletons of the ground sloth, Scelidotherium, and skulls, jaws, legs and other parts of the greater ground sloths, Lestodon and Megatherium. Carapaces and internal skeletons of the ponderous, shell-covered glyptodonts, a skeleton of a smaller armadillo and parts of the long-limbed, trunk-bearing Macrauchenia were also included. From the Miocene clays and sandstones of southern Argentina there were collected skulls and parts of various ground sloths smaller in size but related to the great sloths of the Pleistocene; carapaces, skulls, legs and other parts of the lesser glyptodonts and of the annadillos. Many fine skulls and other parts of river-dwelling animals, ranging in size from that of the tapir to that of the hippopotamus are included in the collection. They belong to the genera of Adinotherium, Homalodonto- therium, Nesodon and Astrapotherium. Numerous skulls, legs, feet and u «0 e Ul > a o t- 1/1 < tr »- < z 2 UJ 3 Z g t- liJ UJ Q.

More surpris- ing are the leg bones of a gigantic bird similar in size to the Moa of New Zealand. Of the Eocene mammals collected in the central territories of Pata- gonia, specimens of the great Pyrotherium and Parastrapotherium are the most notable. Specimens of these rare and little known animals include jaws, tusks, molar teeth and isolated parts of skeletons. Animals of intermediate size, including Asmodeus, Leontinia, Astraponotus, Proadinotherium, Rhynchippus and others are represented by fine series of skulls. Other specimens include such mammals as the primitive flesh-eaters, the gnawers, and other inhabitants of river, forest and plain which have left no modem representatives and admit of no close com- parisons. The great flesh-eating bird, Phororachus, is represented by a good skull and parts of the skeleton. Zoology. — Five zoological expeditions were in the field during 1925. Two of them were of major importance, being to foreign countries and of long duration, while three of them were to points in the United States and Canada and for relatively short periods of time. All were highly successful and, although but a small part of the material col- lected had actually reached the Museimi at the close of the year, it is evident the results of these expeditions will Ije among the most note- worthy in the histor>' of the Institution. Of first importance was the "James Simpson-Roosevelt Asiatic Expedition" to the western Himalayas, the Pamirs and Turkestan. The first plan for this expedition originated with Col. Theodore Roose- velt, Jr. and his brother Mr. Kermit Roosevelt, sons of the former President of the United States. Like their father, both the younger Roosevelts have an extraordinary interest in natural history and a knowledge of animal life far beyond that of the average sportsman. Therefore, in planning a trip for themselves, they thought immediately of giving it a scope which would make it of lasting value to science. This was beyond their private means, so they decided to affiliate them- selves with a public museum of natural histor\' and chose Field Museum. They made their desires known to President Stanley Field, and the matter was brought to the attention of Mr. James Simpson, a trustee and the donor of the Museum's well known auditoriimi, James Simpson Theatre. Mr. Simpson, thereupon, agreed to provide all necessary financial support for the expedition, involving no remuneration for the 432 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. Roosevelts, but making it possible for them to carry all desired equip- ment for general zoological collecting and to employ trained assistants to cover special fields. The trip thus became a museum expedition and was given the title "James Simpson-Roosevelt Asiatic Expedition of Field Museum of Natural History." Owing to the prominence of the principals, the expedition has received much public attention and its progress has been followed by the press of the entire world. The party sailed from New York, April nth, including, besides Theodore and Kermit Roosevelt, a well known naturalist, Mr. George K. Cherrie, and a volunteer photographer, Mr. Suydam Cutting. They arrived at Bombay, May i ith, and continued at once by rail and auto- mobile to Srinagar in Kashmir. Here some days were spent in final preparations and in arranging for transport. In this they were greatly assisted by the cordial cooperation of the British Resident, Sir John Wood. May 19th, they left Srinagar with a caravan of 60 ponies and proceeded via Zoji Pass to the mountain city of Leh, which they reached without mishap about June ist. From Leh, their course lay northward through the heart of the Himalayas. In order to maintain the organiza- tion of their caravan, it was necessary to push on rapidly and but little time was available during this part of the trip for htmting or collecting. However, they improved every brief opportunity and succeeded in obtaining several specimens of the Burrhel or Blue Sheep {Pseiidois nahura) and the Tibetan Antelope {Pantholops hodgsoni). A few birds and small mammals, prepared between marches at late hours of the night, also were collected in this region. The route led across the Sassar, Karakoram, and Sujet passes and for more than two weeks the expedi- tion was never below an altitude of 15,000 feet. Being more than two weeks in advance of the earliest regular spring caravans, the expedition encountered unusual difficulties in the way of imbroken trails, snow- fields and swollen streams. Fourteen of the ponies were lost enroute, partly through lack of endurance and partly through eating a poisonous weed. With some good fortune and much hard work, however, all difficulties were overcome and, July 5th, the party was at Sanju Bazaar in eastern Turkestan with the high Himalayas left behind. A few days later they arrived at Yarkand, the principal settlement in this part of Turkestan, where they were cordially received by local Chinese officials. At Yarkand, the party was divided. To interview officials and prepare the way for later work when the whole expedition should reach that region, Mr. Cutting set out alone for a quick trip northwestward to Kashgar. Mr. Cherrie remained to work slowly northward across central Turkestan, stopping at convenient points to collect birds, small mammals, and reptiles. Meanwhile, the Roosevelts made haste Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 433 to reach the Thian Shan Mountains for big game hunting. They left Yarkand, July 13th, and crossed Turkestan to Aksu in twelve days, a distance of 280 miles, with many streams to ford, with stretches of desert to cross, and with hot summer weather in contrast to the cold winds of the high mountains just traversed. Leaving Aksu, July 27th, they continued northward over the Muzart Pass in the Thian Shan Mountains to the vicinity of the upper Tekkes River. Here, in the heart of southwestern Asia, they were at last enabled to devote several weeks to continuous big game hunting, and their efforts were attended with great success. The collection of large mammals which was obtained in the Thian Shans covers a wide variety and includes a number of specimens of unusually high quality. The largest animals secured were three fine males of the Altai Wapiti, a large deer having general similarity to the American Elk or Wapiti. Other game included the Thian Shan Sheep {Ovis karelini), the Siberian Roe Deer, and the Asiatic Brown Bear; but perhaps most important was a series of the Thian Shan Ibex, includ- ing old males, females, and young and fulfilling all the exacting require- ments of a comprehensive museum group. One of the male ibexes shot by Mr. Kermit Roosevelt is reported to have horns 59^ inches in length, which is a record for this species and for all ibexes, the largest one previously known having a measurement of 58 inches. Leaving the Thian Shans, the Roosevelts hurried on to arrive at Kashgar, September 28th, and there to make arrangements to hunt in the Russian Pamirs for the famous Marco Polo's Sheep, one of the principal objects of the expedition. Although formerly fairly common in the Pamirs, this sheep has become increasingly difficult to obtain, and native reports in Kashgar were discouraging, so it was with some mis- givings that this hunt was undertaken, especially since success was to be attained only in the limited time remaining before the closing of the passes to bar rettim to India. In three weeks' time, however, the hunters went from Kashgar into the Russian Pamirs and came out at Misgar to send a message, October 23rd, stating that they had obtained four fine rams of Marco Polo Sheep and several younger animals, siifficient for a museum group. Thence they hastened back to India via the Hunza Pass, having received special permission to do so through the courtesy of the Viceroy and Sir John Wood. Their safe arrival in Kashmir was reported November 3rd. While the Roosevelts were finishing work in the Thian Shans and making their dash into the Pamirs, Mr. Cherrie gradually worked on to the Thian Shans and was met there by Mr. Cutting, September 7th. 434 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. Further collecting of birds and small mammals was done there and then they returned to Kashgar whence they started homeward via Russian Turkestan and Constantinople, carrying with them practically the entire collection made by the expedition. This included some 21 skins, skulls and bones of large game, 700 to 1,000 skins of birds and small mammals, and tanks of reptiles and amphibians preserved in alcohol or formaldehyde. They journeyed overland northwestward and crossed the Russian border at Irkeshtan, November 6th. Ten days later they reached the railhead at Andijan and there arranged for railway transport of themselves and the collections to Batum on the Black Sea. The route was via Samarkand and Bokhara to Krasnovodsk on the Caspian Sea, thence across the Caspian to Baku and to Batum via Tiflis. The baggage, including the collections, was delayed in transit, and Mr. Cherrie, after proceeding to Constantinople with Mr. Cutting, was obliged to return to Batum to insure its safe delivery. Mr. Cutting returned direct to the United States and reports from Mr. Cherrie at the close of the year were to the effect that the delayed baggage was intact and forthcoming. After retiuning to India, the Roosevelts engaged in a short hunt in which they secured four male specimens of the Barasingha or Swamp Deer. In late December they planned hunting in the Central Provinces accompanied by the head forester of India, Sir Henry Farrington. Still later, it was their intention to go to the northern province of Nepal and hunt with the British Resident with the special object of securing the Indian Rhinoceros. Complete returns from the Simpson-Roosevelt Expedition are not available, but in the latest report, December 2nd, the list of large mammals obtained is as follows : Thian Shan Ibex, 1 2 specimens ; Marco Polo's Sheep, 8; Thian Shan Sheep, 3; Burrhel or Blue Sheep, 3; Tibetan Antelope or Chiru, 3 ; Asiatic Wapiti, 3 ; Siberian Roe Deer, 4 ; Barasingha Deer, 4; Asiatic Brown Bear, 2; Himalayan Black Bear, 2. The Captain Marshall Field Central African Expedition, which began work in 1924, continued in the field throughout 1925 under the direction of Mr. Edmund Heller and Mrs. Hilda H. Heller. The months of January and February were spent at high altitudes on Motmt Ruwen- zori, one of the highest mountains in Africa and situated near the border line between the arid plains and the great central rain forest. Camps were established at six different altitudes in the Butego valley on this mountain and a large collection was made, including some 800 mammals and a considerable niunber of batrachians and reptiles. Three days were spent at the snowline at an elevation of 12,000 feet and, fortu- »Uiit> FIELD MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.

Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 435 nately, weather conditions were good. Travel of this kind is difficult in Africa since the elevated regions are uninhabited and but little help can be had from the natives of the warm lowlands who are very averse to the cold and snow of the heights. From Ruwenzori the expedition went west into the Ituri forest and spent much time in the country of the Wambute tribe and the neighbor- ing pigmies. After considerable time establishing friendly relations with the pigmies, their aid was enlisted to secure a specimen of that strange animal known as the Okapi, perhaps the most difficult to obtain of all large mammals now living. It is found only in dense dark forests and is veiy shy and elusive. Its habits are known only to the pigmies who inhabit these forests and hunt it with spears. A successful hunt was finally organized and a fine male Okapi, speared by the pigmies, was obtained and its skin preserved in excellent condition. Later in the year the expedition moved eastward out of Belgian territory into northwestern Uganda. Here in the district of Kigezi large general collections were made under better climatic conditions than those of the Congo forest. British officials in Uganda afforded cordial cooperation and through a permit issued by the Governor, Mr. Heller secured a large male gorilla on the east side of the volcanoes near the boundary between Uganda and the Congo. The specimens collected by the African expedition have been thor- oughly cured, hermetically sealed, and stored at convenient points to be brought together finally and transported to the United States under personal escort after field work is completed. At the close of the year, the expedition was about to start back into the Congo to work in the region west of Lake Kivu with the special object of securing further specimens of gorillas. A short expedition to southern Georgia was made during the summer by Mr. Leon L. Walters, taxidermist of the Division of Reptiles. The special object was material for a group showing the American alligator and its nest and eggs. Headquarters were made at Beachton, Georgia, where Mr. Walters enjoyed the hospitality and generous assistance of Mr. H. L. Stoddard and his associates of the U. S. Biological Survey. Alligators were by no means easy to secure, and all three of the methods in use by professional alligator hunters were employed. The first method is that of hunting at night from a boat with a headlight which "shines" the alligator's eyes. A second method is to bait tarpon or shark hooks, arranging them as a set, just above the surface of the water. The third and most interesting method, called poling, was also the most successful. In summer the larger alligators take up residence in holes in the marshes 438 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VL of conditions of study, exchange and storage collections. A total of seventy-three cases were installed for exhibition during this year. An event of the year was the opening on the first of November of the new Micronesian and Polynesian Hall (Hall F on the ground floor), to which Assistant Curator Linton had devoted his energy until his depar- ture for Madagascar. The chief attraction of this hall consists of an original Maori council-house from New Zealand, which was acquired by the Museum as far back as 1904, but which, for lack of space, could not be erected in the old building. Very few of these council houses have been preserved, and this house is one of the finest in existence. It is nearly sixty feet long with a width of twenty feet and an internal height of fourteen feet. It is the only Maori building extant that has a com- pletely carved front, and its decorations show Maori art at its best. The mechanical skill and artistic ability of the Maori were lavished on the construction of his great council houses which were primarily council and guest houses, but which were also used as dormitories. They were usually erected as memorials of some great event, such as the birth of an heir to the principal chief of the tribe. The materials were selected with great care, the framework being hewn from trees which had been buried in river beds until they had lost their sap wood and become thoroughly seasoned. The ridge pole was the most important part, and was always made from a single log. That of this house is nearly sixty feet long, and weighs a ton and a half. All the upright timbers are carved with con- ventionalized figures of ancestors, while the rafters and ridge pole are painted with scroll designs. The spaces between the side posts are filled with panels of woven reeds. Long beds were made along either side of the house, and there was a small fireplace near the door. The hall contains forty exhibition-cases. Ten of these have been grouped along the sides of the house; nine of these cases illustrate the highly developed culture of the Maori with good examples of their feather robes, wood carvings, weapons, stone and jade implements. The inhabitants of the Gilbert Islands are well represented by excellent suits of armor, weapons, clothing and ornaments, matting, basketry, utensils, and fishing appliances. Similar material is shown from the Marshall and Caroline Archipelago, Matty, Durour, and outlying Micronesian islands. The cultures of Fiji and Samoa are well illustrated, and to some extent also those of Hawaii, Marquesas, and Mangaia. A guidebook to these exhibits has been prepared by Assistant Curator Linton and will be brought out shortly. The light-colored screens which after several experiments were de- vised and used in this hall throughout may be designated as a great Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 439 improvement, and are undoubtedly preferable to black screens in the halls with artificial lighting. Good progress has been made with the installation of the Arthur B. Jones collection secured by Dr. F. C. Cole in 1923. Eight cases illustrat- ing the culture of the Toba Batak of Sumatra, six cases of textiles, cos- tumes and household utensils of the Menangkabau, Sumatra, and four cases showing the primitive cultures of the Sakai and Semang in the Malay Peninsula, have been installed. Three built-in cases were con- structed in Hall G which is to contain the Arthur B. Jones collection. One of these has been erected in the center of the hall, and is divided into three sections which will be used for a Menangkabau miniature village group, a life-size group of Pygmies engaged in making fire, and a bride j and groom of the Menangkabau in their ceremonial costumes. The built-in case in the northeast corner of the hall will harbor the Javanese orchestra formerly in Hall I, and that in the northwest comer holds the group of Bagobo weavers which is now almost complete. It is hoped that this hall will be completed in the first part of next year. Seven cases are already accessible to the public, being placed alongside the corridor dividing the east wing from the central section of the ground floor. A built-in case, which on account of its dimensions (32 x 10 feet, 14 feet high in the interior) is a veritable room in itself, has been constructed in the Ernest R. Graham Hall at the south end of the recess in which the two Mastaba tombs are set. It is provided with a door on the west side which readily gives access to the room and permits easy shifting of exhi- bition objects. The top lights hidden behind ground glass insure an even diffusion of light over the exhibits. For the present the large granite statue of the Lion-headed Goddess Sekhmet, presented by Mr. Frank H. Cook, and selected sculptured bas-reliefs from the tomb of Bekenranef, a nobleman of high rank of the twenty-sixth dynasty (about 600 B.C.), are displayed in this case. In front of it and from the top of the view glass extending up to the ceiling is a transom case 30 feet long, 4 feet high, and i foot deep, likewise illimiinated by concealed top-lights and containing a colored reproduction of a bas-relief which represents the procession of the sacred boat from Queen Hatshepsut's temple of Deir-el-Bahri (eighteenth dynasty). The oil-painting by Andrew Mc- Callum, depicting the Rock-temple of Aboo Simbel, presented by Mr. Thomas S. Hughes this year, has been hung on a pilaster on the east side of the Egyptian Hall. A new label has been provided for the repro- duction of the Rosetta Stone. Several notable additions and changes were made in Stanley Field Hall, to render accessible to the public the results of recent expeditions. / 440 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. A silver zebu acquired by the Captain Marshall Field Expedition to China (illustrated in Plate XLII of the Annual Report for 1923) was added to the Chinese antiquities in Case 7. The Roman bronze table and other bronze and glass objects from Boscoreale were temporarily removed from Case 6 to make room for the Ej]n,-ptian statue of the architect Senmut acquired for the Musevmi by Professor Breasted. A selection from the important collection of ancient E^-ptian and Coptic textiles has been displayed in Case 16. These include an ancient rug, two linen tunics decorated with medallions and borders in tapestry weave, an embroider>' in white on purple ground, and many smaller pieces in well preserved bright colors, some even of silk and silk mixed with linen. The designs are very interesting and consist principally of vine-leaves, grapes, hares, birds, huntsmen on horseback, figures of women and children. One panel is decorated with the figure of a dancing- girl brandishing a tambourine. In Edward E. Ayer Hall a case of Etruscan pottery was installed, and re-arrangements were made in three cases of Boscoreale bronzes. The three copper weapons from Alaska presented by Mr. Homer E. Sargent have been added to Case 8 of Mary D. Sturges Hall. The Karok buckskin skirt and apron presented by Miss G. Nicholson have been in- stalled in Case 2 of Hall 6; and the Saltillo serape. a gift from Mr. Sar- gent, in Case i of Hall 8. Two cases illustrating the Tobacco Society and Medicine bundles of the Crow were installed, completely labeled and placed in Cases 23 and 24 of Hall 5. These contain the exchange material received this year from Messrs. M. G. Chandler and W. Wildschut, combined with material previously collected for the Museimi by Mr. S. C. Simms. Two cases, one showing clothing from Huon Gulf, northeastern Guinea, another of household and industrial objects from the North Coast of New Guinea, have been added to Joseph N. Field Hall. The addition of 115 objects made by Mr. Edward E. Ayer last year to his pewter collection necessitated the installation of a new case and re-installation in four cases in Hall 23. This room now presents a some- what crowded appearance, and as the new type of built-in case has proved successful, it has been decided to discard the eleven standard cases and replace them with specially built cases running along the walls and illuminated by encased top-lights. The collection of rhinoceros-horn cups from China, presented by Mr. John J. Mitchell, was catalogued and labeled immediately and placed on exhibition in two standard cases in the center of Hall 24 (East Gallery). A case of Chinese wood, root and bamboo carvings and a case Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 441 of Chinese fans were installed, and will be placed on view as soon as the labels have been printed. After removal of the model of the Moon from the south end of the West Gallery, the space thus gained was occupied by four cases contain- ing Chinese ivories, baskets, and lacquers. The installation of the ex- hibit illustrating how crickets are kept in China for singing and fighting purposes has been completed, and the case placed on exhibition at the south end of the East Gallcr\'. Grateful acknowledgement is made to Associate Curator Gerhard for preparing specimens of the insects for exhibition and to Dr. James A. G. Rehn of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia for determining their scientific names. In the present state of the work it is impossible to maintain a correct sequence of the exhibition cases in the East and West Galleries, as additions and changes are constantly made and as, in accordance with the progress of work in the new halls on the ground floor, exhibits from Java, Africa, and India have to be transferred from the West Gallery to their new locations. At the completion of this task, it will be possible to re-arrange the East and West Galleries methodically. They will ultimately be entirely devoted to China and Tibet. Room 38 has been converted into a workshop for receiving, laying out and installing new material. Nine old table-cases which contained Mexican and South American collections in storage were vacated and discarded, the material being placed in the storage room on the ground floor. This resulted in a great improvement of working conditions and made way for six more layout tables in Room 38. It now accommodates a total of 18 layout tables, whereby the work of the Department is greatly facilitated. Twelve layout tables were made for the offices and workrooms of assistant curators. All American archaeological material, as far as it is not on exhibition, is now concentrated in the storage room on the ground floor. All exhibi- tion cases temporarily placed in the clerestories were stripped of material which was arranged, sorted, stored, and identified with proper labels. All collections in work-rooms and storage rooms on the third floor have been subjected to a revised arrangement. Last February the departmental library was removed from Room 39 in the southeast comer of the building, where it had been housed for four years, and was permanently transferred to the new racks in Room 52 adjoining the curator's office. This arrangement is ver}' satisfactory, as it gives the curator without loss of time direct access to the library and places it vmder his immediate supendsion. New cabinets were pro- cured to contain maps, the catalogue cards, and the inventory volumes 442 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. with the accession files, in keeping with the style of the other office furniture. In Room 35, the storage room for physical anthropology, new racks with trays were made for the accommodation of skulls and skeletal material. There are four sections, each consisting of fourteen cabinets, seven on each side. Each of these fifty-six cabinets contains eleven trays of white pine, making a total of 616 trays, which are calculated to hold about nine thousand skulls. A label-holder has been provided for each tray. Modeler J. G. Prasuhn made progress on the miniature group of a New Guinea village, completing the men's assembly house, the young men's dormitory, and an outrigger canoe with sail. The group of Bagobo weavers from the Philippines, the figures of which were cast years ago in the old building, has been installed in a built-in case in Hall H ; all the accessories were made for the group, the figures dressed and properly posed. Two large and several small bronze figures from the Egyptian collec- tion developed during the year bad cases of malignant patina which threatened to destroy them. These have been successfully treated by Associate Curator H. W. Nichols in the chemical laboratory of the Department of Geology by means of the recently perfected electrolytic process. Familiarity with the process was acquired by treating a nimiber of smaller bronzes to remove disfiguring incrustations. The results of this process have been so successful that not only has the dangerous pro- gressive corrosion been eliminated, but also much elaborate detail of unsuspected designs has been discovered. The experience with these bronzes has been such that there will be no hesitation in applying the process in the future to whatever bronzes may need it. Modeler Prasuhn restored 24 objects from Kish, 19 from Egypt, 4 from Italy, 7 from Mexico, 41 from China, and 9 from Pacific Islands. Mr. T. Ito restored 144 pieces of Peruvian pottery, 40 pieces of pottery, stone, and bronze from Kish, 18 pieces of Cameroon pottery, n pieces of pewter, and 6 Japanese ivories. 10,931 numbers were marked on specimens. Botany. — In the exhibition halls of the Department of Botany the task of reinstallation which was begun last year has been carried forward as rapidly as possible with the elimination of bottled specimens and black backgrounds. The Hall of Plant Life (Hall 29) has thus been com- pletely reinstalled as far as possible with the material on hand and ntunerous additions have been made to the plant reproductions and models which are the conspicuous feature in the hall.

The spiderworts are now represented by a reproduction of the large and attractive South American Dichorisandra, to which will be added one of the more inconspicuous but better known forms. Other additions to the monocotyledons are a flowering Tacca, a yam vine bearing flowers and aerial tubers, a Schombiu-gkia, a West Indian orchid chosen for its large flask-like water storage organs or pseudobulbs, the fruiting spadices of a screwpine or Pandanus and of a Palmyra palm, the latter interesting among the Palms on account of its large egg-plant-like fruits, which were obtained in the Georgetown Botanical Garden by the Stanley Field Guiana Expedition in 1922. A series of sections of a sprouting coconut showing interesting stages in the germination have also been added to the palms exhibit. At the time the Granadilla vine was repro- duced in its flowering condition good fruits were not obtainable but these were readily secured in British Guiana where this passion flower is commonly cultivated and have now been reproduced and added to the vine. A section of a Granadilla and some of the lesser Passifiora fruits have also been added to this exhibit. A flowering branch of the spiny Catesbaea with its long pendulous flowers and small orange-like fruits has been added to the case containing the Madder family. The Borages have been illustrated by a reproduc- tion of a flowering and fruiting branch of the Scarlet Cordia, or Geiger Tree, obtained last year in Key West. To the Spurges there has been added a fruiting branchlet of the Tung-oil tree which is of such great importance to the modem varnish industry and has recently been introduced into commercial cultivation in the United States. A flowering branch of the Frangipani and of a related British Guiana forest tree (Plumiera articulata) with its large curved paired pods have been reproduced and added to the case containing the Dogbanes. The Myrtaceae have hitherto been represented chiefly by the Eucalyptus and the Guava, but fruiting branches of the bright red pear- shaped Malay- or Malacca-apple, {Eugenia malaccensis) , the "Curas- son-apple," {E. javanica) obtained in Surinam and the "Java-plum" {E. jamholana) from the Plant and Seed Introduction Station in Florida have been added during the year and installed in their appropriate place. The Cactus exhibit has been enhanced by the addition of a modeled flowering tip of a candelabra cactus ( Cereus pentagonus) . In one of the expanded flowers of this model is to be seen a specimen of the long- 444 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. tongued bat that in its native regitm is a visitor to this night blooming cactus either for the nectar or for the insects, or both, to be gathered within the large blossoms. Another addition to the cactus case is a Rhipsalis from Trinidad, a slender epiphytic un-cactus-like plant, which hangs like masses of green threads from the branches of the trees where it grows. To the Bladderworts there has been added a flowering Utricularia plant, mounted together with an enlarged section of its flower and a model of a single enlarged bladder or trap with its typical catch. A piece of a branch of a "cluster-fig" (Ficus glomerata) from India with its grape-like bunches of fruit, some white and purple figs, a sugar beet from Illinois, a sugar cane from Louisiana for the sugar exhibits, are also on the list of plant reproductions added during the year. A young unexpanded leaf of the Victoria regia has been modeled for this group which was prepared last year. A section of the Victoria regia flower constitutes an interesting addition to the flower forms repre- sented by models in the Hall of Plant Life. This model and the young leaf of the Victoria regia were the last of the many creditable pieces of work produced by David Henner, before his untimely death by acci- dental drowning while swimming at the Dunes last stunmer. Mr. Henner was one of the most talented and able of the artists and preparators who by their skill have contributed to the plant reproductions in this hall. In the adjoining hall, Hall 25, containing the palms on one side, the vegetable food products on the other, reinstallation has been begun with the cane and beet sugar exhibits. In the economic collections the fats, oils, sugars and wood distillation products have received special attention. Typical samples have been selected and sealed in glass tubes for exhibition. In the Herbarium some further progress has been made in the study of the 1922 and 1923 Peruvian collections by botanists at other institu- tions (cf. 1924 Annual Report of the Director, 314, 1925) and several have undertaken the determination of further groups: Mr. E. P. Killip, U. S. National Museum, is identifying the Acanthaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Aristolochiaceae, Brunelliaceae, Convolvulaceae, Coriariaceae, Dilleniaceae, Hypericaceae, Juncaceae, Lacistemaceae, Liliaceae, Loranthaceae (exclud- ing Phoradendron) , Myricaceae, Myrsinaceae, Myrtaceae, Rosaceae (ex- cluding Rubus and Hesperomeles) , Styracaceae, Tropaeolaceae and Vitaceae; Dr. J. N. Rose, U. S. National Museum, has assumed respon- sibility for the genera Hofmanseggia and Caesalpinia and the subfamily Mimoseae; Prof. E. M. Gilbert, University of Wisconsin, is studying a number of the fleshy fungi; Dr. I. M. Johnston, Gray Herbarium, has Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 445 named a small miscellaneous collection in addition to his special groups. The Museum has published a short paper by Mr. J. F. Macbride on the Psoraleas (Publ. 231 Bot.) together with notes on a few other species, mostly legumes. The principal organization work of the year in the herbariiun was the preparation for study of the Gaumer collections made from 191 7 to 1 92 1 in Yucatan. The determination of these valuable sets has kindly been undertaken by the botanical staff of the U. S. National Museum, particularly by Dr. Paul C. Standley, whose especial fitness for this work is indicated by his well known and admirable volumes on the woody plants of Mexico. The earlier Gaiuner collections, prior to 1917, were largely studied by the late Dr. Millspaugh, but for various reasons he did not have the opportunity at the time to continue this investiga- tion. These recent collections, in so far as determined, total 1,189 sheets. There are about eight duplicate sets that will be available for distribu- tion in exchange with other botanical institutions when the clerical work connected with their organization is consmnmated. The herbaritun specimens of Illinois plants finally have all been withdrawn from the general collections and now form the basis for an herbarium which it is hoped will ultimately include a specimen of every species known to grow in the state. This special collection has been very creditably reorganized by Mr. Carl Neuberth so that it is now available for ready reference. Many additions, however, must be made before it will represent adequately the state flora. Geology. — To the geological exhibits in Stanley Field Hall was added a case, one-half of which was devoted to models of dinosaurs and bones and tracks of these animals. In the other half of the case a series of fossil crinoids, mostly large specimens from the Borden collection, was installed. A niimber of specimens of fossil pine cones and branches from Patagonia collected by the Captain Marshall Field Paleontological Ex- pedition to that country and some large fossil invertebrates collected by the same expedition were installed in another case in this hall. Most of the specimens presented by Mr. William J. Chalmers during the year were installed in the cases of the crystal collection and of systematic minerals in Hall 34. In this connection a rearrangement of the contents of the crystal collection cases was made and about 200 new labels were installed. The specimens of the group of hydrous silicates, numbering 148, in this hall, were mounted on individual blocks upon a screen. New specimens received during the year were added to a number of groups in this hall. 446 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. In Skiff Hall the specimens in the bays of ten cases were mounted on individual blocks and brought nearer to the front. The labels of these specimens were correspondingly raised by means of wire supports. Specimens in the upright sections of eight cases were provided with an improved form of blocks in continuation of the work of last year. The cases remounted in this manner this year were those of iron, copper, lead, zinc, mercury, tin, nickel and rare-earth ores. They contained 1,028 specimens. New material in this Hall and in Hall 36 has been installed as fast as it was received. The asbestos collections in Skiff Hall were en- larged by the installation of additional specimens of prepared asbestos and by the addition of a series illustrating the preparation and use of rock wool. The lubricating oils, clays, peat and marble exhibits were also enlarged by the addition of newly acquired material. In connection with the installation of new labels for the iron blast furnace models, specimens of iron ore and manufactured iron made in Catalan forges in use in Brazil and collected by the Captain Marshall Field Brazilian Ex- pedition of 1922 were installed adjoining the model of this forge. In addi- tion to a large general label for the cement plant model, a series of six mahogany labels with gold lettering was installed within the case to explain briefly the nature of each group of machine shown. The large stump of the tree obtained from the coal mine at Zeigler, Illinois, pre- sented by Mr. Walter G. Zoller, was mounted on a mahogany base and installed in Hall 36 in proximity to the general coal exhibit. To the model in this hall illustrating the formation of peat, a base representing underlying rock was added. To the exhibit of diamonds and associated rocks, there were added three cut diamonds and some associated minerals from the Murfreesboro, Arkansas, mines, presented by Messrs. Howard A. Millar and Austin Q. Millar. As rapidly as they have been prepared for exhibition, the fossil verte- brates collected by the Captain Marshall Field Paleontological Expedi- tions in Argentina and Bolivia have been installed in Hall 38. Two large dinosaur leg bones, each over six feet in length and weighing 930 and 740 pounds respectively, were mounted on individual bases and placed ad- joining the large dinosaur skeleton. Among vertebrates of Tertiary age, an entire case has been installed with specimens from the South Ameri- can expeditions. These included a fossil whale skull, six and one-half feet in length, a beautifully ornamented carapace, twenty-eight inches in length, of an extinct armadillo, and several smaller specimens. A complete list is as follows: One carapace of the armored mammal, Propalaeohoplophorus; skulls of the South American fossil mammals, Nesodon, Adinotherium, Proeutatus, Hapalops and Pachurukhos; jaws Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 447 of Pyrotherium and of Neoromys; skull and jaws of a fossil baleen whale of undetermined species. The skull of the baleen whale was collected from a marine formation (Patagonian Beds) which caps the pampas of Patagonia and is extended over a wide area. In this formation are found fossil whales of various kinds, immense oyster shells and other fossils of marine origin. Some of these fossil shells may be seen attached to the skull. This animal was one of the baleen, or whalebone whales which are still common in the south Atlantic and which may be frequently fovmd stranded on the shores of Patagonia. These specimens are interesting not only as fossil animals but also in contributing unmistakable evidence of the marine origin of the great series of clays and sandstones of Patagonia which now lie as much as two thousand feet above high tide and form the surface of wide pampa-plateaus. The specimen obtained is of smaller size than the modem baleen whale and belongs to an extinct species not yet deter- mined. The preparation of the above specimens and of a large carapace, five feet in length, of a species of Glyptodon collected in Bolivia, comprise the major activities carried on in the laboratory of vertebrate paleon- tology during the year. The shell or carapace of the Glyptodon was col- lected in the Tarija Valley of southern Bolivia. This shell formed the body-covering of a huge animal which was common in Pliocene and Pleistocene times. Glyptodon belonged to a family of extinct animals (Glyptodonts), which at that period ranged from southern United States to the southern extremity of Argentina. In addition to their great size the Glyptodonts are of interest because of the homy covering which sheathed the head, body and tail and served at once as a covering and as a defensive armor. This characteristic it shared with the smaller arma- dillo, but carried the development one degree farther in having the bony dermal plates of which the shell is composed joined by sutures to form a rigid carapace. This carapace was doubtless covered outwardly with homy plates, which gave the armor a smooth and elastic siirface. The top of the head was covered with a similar shield; the tail was enclosed in a series of overlapping rings. Protected in this way, the Glyptodon had but to crouch upon the ground, with head and legs drawn into the shell, and so remain secure from attack of any flesh-eating animal of his time. No doubt this immunity accounts for the long survival of these sluggish creatures and for their distribution over two continents. Construction of a model of a typical brickyard was undertaken by Associate Curator Nichols in the latter part of the year. Preliminary inquiries brought out the fact that while a model of a small, simple 448 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. yard of the kind that was common some years ago would demonstrate clearly the principles upon which the industry is based, such a model would be misleading as an illustration of modern practice, since success in the present day brick industry depends upon quantity production and the use of elaborate labor-saving equipment. Therefore, it was decided to model a large, well-equipped modem yard. President William Schlake of the Illinois Brick Co., kindly offered hearty coopera- tion and after investigation. Yard No. 22 of this company at Blue Island, Illinois, was selected as especially suitable for reproduction. Surveys of the yard and a contour map of the yard and the clay pits were made by the Associate Curator. Superintendent Lambert and other officials of the company cordially assisted in this work. Numerous photographs were taken of details and sketches and measurements of the kiln sheds and buildings were made in order to insure accuracy of modelling. The model is now under construction. It is twelve feet long and three feet, six inches wide. It is on a scale of twelve and one-half feet to the inch. This scale makes human figures about one-half of an inch in height, and details of the machinery are readily visible. The ground and clay pits have been modelled in cement. The elaborately framed kiln sheds have been reproduced by the use of sheet copper and copper wire. The use of this material has enabled the elaborate framing of the timbers to be faithfully reproduced. There are also represented kilns in various stages of building, burning and removal and these in sufficient detail so that the methods of piling the brick are shown as well as the elaborate piping of the oil-burning equipment. Features still to be represented include models of the brick- making machines, dryers, power plant, steam shov- els and accessory buildings. A relief map of the rock surface under Chicago has also been mod- elled in the Department from data obtained from the Chicago City Department of Engineering. This relief represents the rock surface of the territory from Lawrence Avenue on the north to Lake Calumet on the south and from 56th Avenue on the west to points in Lake Michigan several miles east of the shore line. The horizontal scale of the model is eight miles to the inch and the vertical scale ten times the horizontal. In the chemical laboratory quantitative analyses of five iron meteor- ites were made by the Associate Curator. Analyses of a gum from the Hopewell Mounds, of a specimen of Chinese cement and nimierous qualitative tests for visitors or correspondents of the Museum were also made in this laboratory. Ten iron meteorite sections were etched. Treatment of antique bronzes for checking corrosion and restoring their surface was undertaken during the latter part of this year in this labora- Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 449 tory and very satisfactory results obtained. The method is an electro- lytic and chemical one chiefly devised by the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City. For carrying on the work here and for permanent use a Weston voltmeter and ammeter with electrodes, switches and con- tainers were added to the equipment of the laboratory. Other additions to the laboratory equipment included a filter drying closet and a small crucible furnace. The lighting of the Department library was improved by providing it with five 200 watt reflectors. The office and library of the Associate Curator were provided with 240 feet of oak shelving. Five radio photo- logues for the Chicago Daily News were given by members of the De- partment staff during the year. Zoology. — Installation in the Department of Zoology included several large groups of mammals, one systematic case of mammals, two systematic cases of birds, one group of reptiles, and one group of fishes. In addition, a number of single animals have been prepared, some of which have been installed and others are awaiting cases or rearrange- ment of space. In all, therefore, the zoological exhibits have received an unusual amount of addition and improvement. The mammal group of greatest interest is perhaps that of the man- eating lions. The specimens for this group are the actual individuals described by Colonel J. H. Patterson in his book "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo." These animals, two large males of the short-haired maneless type found in the hot semi-arid coast of East Africa, killed and, in most cases, devoiu*ed more than 130 human beings. Their story is a most extraordinary one and they are perhaps the most famous of all lions. Their skins and skulls were purchased from Colonel Patterson by Presi- dent Stanley Field and presented to the Museum. They had been pre- served for a number of years and were not prepared originally with a view to musetmi exhibition. Therefore they offered unusual difficulty to the taxidermist and were mounted only by the exercise of much pains- taking care and skillful manipulation. This was accomplished by Taxi- dermist Julius Friesser with the assistance of Mr. H. C. Holling, the result forming a striking addition to the groups of African game animals in Hall 22. A slight rearrangement of the exhibits in this hall was made in this connection. The group of Beisa Antelopes was removed from the south half of the hall to the north, thus bringing practically all the hoofed animals into the north half and leaving carnivores and primates for the south half. The group of Beisas was reinstalled in the northeast comer of the hall and provided with plain backgrounds on two sides which serve to improve the lighting of the group. 450 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. The beaver group was removed from its open floor case and rein- stalled in a new position in the northeast comer of Hall i6. Here it was placed in a built-in section with a single view glass, the background was extended on each side and effective lighting provided, altogether making it a much improved installation. On the opposite side of the hall, in a similar situation, there was installed the Jaguar and Capybara group, material for which was collected by a museimi expedition to Venezuela some years ago, but which had never been exhibited. The background, which had been painted for a different style of installation, was extended to the sides of the enclosure and the group arranged as a "built-in" exhibit. The scene shown is a tropical jungle of mangroves and ferns at the edge of a pool of water. The Capybara, largest of rodents, is repre- sented by a family of two adults and several young. At one side, partly covered by the dense vegetation, a jaguar is stealthily approaching its unsuspecting prey. The whole effect gives an excellent and characteristic impression of life in the hot lowlands of the South American tropics. A special exhibit of the "Mammals of the Chicago Area" was pre- pared early in the year and installed in a single case in Stanley Field Hall. The area included covers a radius of fifty miles from the center of the city and practically all of the thirty-nine species known to occur there are shown. The larger species, as bears and deer, which are extinct in the area, are not shown. Each species has an individual setting with sufficient accessories to give it an attractive appearance and to indicate or at least suggest some of its habits and locality preferences. The case is of especial interest to local naturalists, and it is hoped will be of value in connection with the Museum's work with school children. The Olympic Elk group, preparation of which has been subject to nttmerous interruptions, was advanced during the year, but final installa- tion was not accomplished. Space for it was assigned at the south end of Pullman Hall and all preliminary construction completed. Rearrangement of the systematic exhibit of mammals in Hall 15 was continued and thirteen cases there were reinstalled and cases of old style design eliminated. A niunber of single mammals were mounted, only a part of which were installed. Among them were specimens of the Brazil- ian Red Wolf, the Chinchilla, and the Argentine Viscacha obtained by recent South American expeditions. Awaiting installation are an Alaskan White Sheep, a Chilean Huemul, Ouakari Monkey, Tibetan Gazelle, Peruvian Tayra, and several smaller mammals. Two cases of North American birds were installed during the year as a beginning of the proposed revision of the systematic exhibit of birds in Hall 2 1 . The first of these was a case of raptorial birds, including birds 1 X X _l UJ I- < 0. CO K (r O a. uj tr > a: O t- < a: I- < Z Z> Ui q: < < cc UJ UI Q UJ I (- z o a 2 D o cr e?

All the important species of eagles, hawks, and falcons found in North America north of Mexico are shown. Species occurring in the state of Illinois have a distinctive mark on the label and thus the previous sys- tem of separate exhibits of North American and Illinois birds is rendered unnecessary. Shelves are dispensed with and the birds are disposed on natural perches affording opportunity for pleasing arrangement, proper association of related species and great variety of posing. A second case of this series was installed late in the year, containing on one side the North American owls (23 specimens) and on the other the woodpeckers (48 specimens) . In a few instances, not only the distinct species but some of the more important geographic races or subspecies are shown. Al- though the exhibit is a systematic one, it is possible also to introduce occasional features illustrating particular habits of individual species. A notable example of this sort is found on the screen of woodpeckers, where the California Woodpecker is mounted on a section of a telegraph pole, illustrating the well known but very interesting habit which this bird has of storing acorns in standing trees or poles. The section of pole, thickly studded with acorns, was collected and presented by Mr. R. H, Tuttle of San Bernardino at the instance of Mr. Edward E. Ayer. The group of American White Pelicans, which was one of the very few exhibits sviffering some damage during removal from the old Museum building, was brought again to first class condition by substituting for the old ones three newly mounted pelicans especially collected for the pur- pose by Taxidermist Hine on an expedition to Canada earlier in the year. Installation of reptiles was confined mainly to one large group of American crocodiles. Material for this group was obtained by the Captain Marshall Field Expedition to Honduras in 1923. Full size plaster casts of the freshly killed animals were made in the field and safely transported to the Museum where they were used in making the celluloid reproductions for the group. The crocodiles are the largest animals to which the celluloid process has been applied, and it is gratify- ing to find it quite as effective and successful as with smaller ones. The Anaconda, previously exhibited with other material, was reinstalled to occupy an entire case with suitable accessories. A nimiber of small rep- tiles were prepared in celluloid and await installation. Further experi- ments were conducted in celluloid work and a number of difficulties have been cleared up, especially in the technique of preparing specimens of very small size. With the exception of one special undersea group, very few fishes were installed during 1925, owing to the lack of suitable cases. A small 452 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. collection of Pacific food and game fishes which had been exhibited temporarily in Stanley Field Hall was removed and placed in storage for incorporation with the systematic exhibit at a later time. Prepara- tion of fishes continued with some interruptions and about fifty com- pleted specimens are on hand with many others in various stages of com- pletion, altogether comprising a sufficient nimiber to occupy at least four entire cases. The undersea group shows mainly sharks and rays and is installed in a built-in case with artificial light and painted background. It repre- sents a scene as it might be viewed from a porthole of a submarine near shore and near bottom in the Gulf of Mexico. The material for it was collected by the Captain Marshall Field Expedition to Texas in 1924. The species showTi are as follows: A small shark (CarcJiarinus limbatus) commonly called "maneater" and much feared by local fishermen; a Cow-nosed Ray {RJnnoptera lohata), a species with heavily armored jaws for crushing shellfish; a Leopard Ray (Aetobatus narinari) handsomely spotted black and white; a Sting Ray (Dasybatus hastatus), having a large barbed spine at the base of the tail ; a Sawfish {Pristis pectinaius) about ten feet in length; and an Electric Ray (Narcine brasiliensis), noted for the powerful electric shock it is able to give. There were no new installations of osteological material, but there was considerable rearrangement. Six cases, released from service for mammals in Hall 15, were utilized to bring under cover a number of large skeletons that had previously been exposed on open bases. A special exhibit was maintained in Stanley Field Hall throughout most of the year, showing the route of the James Simpson-Roosevelt Expedition, and characteristic animals of the region traversed. It in- cluded a relief map on which the progress of the expedition was indi- cated by small flags placed as despatches came in. Paintings or pub- lished figures of mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes likely to be ob- tained were also showm. Congestion in the reference collections of mammals and birds was partly relieved by the acquisition of eight units of a new and improved style of storage case. This has a metal exterior and interior fittings of wood and composition. It is equipped with swinging doors having a special locking device, rendering it practically airtight and mothproof. It is finished in color and is convenient, practical, and attractive in appearance. The need for further cases of this type continues in order to make it possible to assemble specimens from their miscellaneous places of storage and place them in convenient order for reference and proper care. Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 453 Ehiring the year the last of the reptiles and amphibians were removed from the fish storage room, leaving shelf room for a better arrangement of fishes. A beginning was made on this new arrangement and some work was also done on the very important task of removing specimens from imserviceable cork-stoppered or glass-stoppered bottles and putting them in safer containers of the fruit-jar type. Routine work in skull cleaning, skin dressing, and preparation of material received from expeditions proceeded as usual. Some 2,000 insects were pinned and labeled and four cases of shells were removed from exhibition and placed in storage. An important event of the year was the receipt of the Barnes collec- tion of North American birds' eggs. The collection was deposited in the Museum by Judge R. M. Barnes, who holds the position of Assistant Curator of Oology in the Department of Zoology, and who will share responsibility for its care and gro^vth during his lifetime, after which it is agreed that full title to it shall pass to the Museum. The collection contains 38,731 eggs and is one of the largest and most valuable collec- tions of the kind ever formed. Besides specimens obtained by Judge Barnes himself during forty years of activity, it contains various collec- tions of others which were purchased entire. Among these are collections of Messrs. PhiloW. Smith, Lee W. Chambers, J.W. Preston, P. B. Peabody, George Noble, Fred W. Beers, and Richard Christ. The collection is arranged in series of sets covering variations and peculiarities of interest to oologists. It contains, approximately, fovir hundred such series re- garded as complete and about five hundred uncompleted ones. Prac- tically every species of North American bird is represented, including some very rare or extinct ones, the eggs of which are now virtually imob- tainable. THE N. W. HARRIS PUBLIC SCHOOL EXTENSION Progress in the N. W. Harris Extension Department during the past year has been more than ordinarily satisfactory. Seventy-eight cases were added to the number available for loaning to the schools of Chicago. Improvements were made in the methods of production used in several of these cases. The attractiveness and educational value of cases exhibit- ing reproductions of wild flowers of the Chicago area were increased by the use as backgrounds of enlarged and colored photographs showing the natural habitat of the fiowers reproduced. The total number of cases that have been prepared for school use is 908. Of this number 706 are in daily circulation, cases now being regularly loaned to 353 schools in Chicago. Each pupil of the conservatively estimated half-million 454 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. attending these combined schools has the opportunity every school-day of studying two of the cases ; and during the school-year, thirty-six cases are placed at his disposal. A delivery truck visits each school eighteen times during the year and leaves, on each visit, two cases. These are either taken from class room to class room or are displayed in the main hall of the school. Requests to receive scheduled deliveries of cases were received from and granted to the following: Union League Foundation for Boys' Clubs, the Chicago University Settlement, Pullman Free School of Manual Training, and the Guardian Angel School conducted by the Sisters of Notre Dame. Cases were loaned for short periods to the fol- lowing: Woodlawn, Ogden Park and Henry E. Legler branches of the Chicago Public Library; Y. M. C. A. School; Moreland Continuation School; Municipal Pier Exhibit; Chicago Art Institute; Annual Nature Exhibit, Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs; Chicago Chapter, Wild Flowers Preservation Society of America; Swift & Company; Inter- national Life Stock Show; and Sprague, Warner & Company. Acknowl- edgement is made to the A. I. Root Company for their assistance in the preparation of a case showing various phases in the life of the honey-bee. This case was exhibited under their auspices at a meeting of the Wisconsin Bee-keepers' Association, and, later, in the Entomological Section of the Annual Meeting, American Association for the Advancement of Science. Guide-Lecturers Classes from public, parochial and private schools, clubs, con- ventions, and other groups were given free guide-lecture service throughout the year. In conducted tours for classes from the public schools, a strict adherence to the subjects studied in each grade was maintained. This policy, coupled with the cooperation of school officials, nearly tripled the number of school classes receiving instruction. Three hundred forty-eight Informal lectures were given in the exhibition halls to classes totalling 11,821 children. A Vacation Course of Instruction for children recommended by Members of the Museum was carried on during the summer months. Thirty-six classes, with an attendance of 251 children, met during the course for study of the Museum collections. Clubs and conventions to the number of 120 with an attendance of 2,167 were conducted on general tours of the Institution; and nine lectures illustrated by stereopticon were given to 342 members of women's clubs. Public tours were offered on announced days and hours; and 176 such tours were attended by 693 individuals. The total for guide-lecture service in the Museum was: 653 lectures with an attendance of 15,023 individuals. Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 455 In January of 1925, tentative plans were made for widening the scope of the guide-lecture service by the inauguration of Field Museum Extension Lectures in the Public Schools. The addition of a third guide- lecturer to the department in March gave fresh impetus to the plan; but upon advice of school officials, the beginning of the work was postponed until the school year 192 5-1926. It was the desire of the Museimi to keep these lectures related as closely as possible to the regular school work by selecting their subjects from the school curricu- lum. The lectures were illustrated by lantern slides and were given in either school auditoriimis or class rooms, depending upon the choice of the principal. In November and December, 91 lectures were given to audiences totalling 20,717 children. These figures, combined with the totals for conducted tours, general lectures, special lectures, entertain- ments and Americanization programs, make a total of 105,066 individ- uals who received direct instruction from the Museum in the year 1925. Art Research Classes During the year, the classes in research from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago visited the Museum daily. The enrollment of this year is slightly in excess of that of preceding j^ears. Interest in the work is constantly growing, and the results of study in the Museum is to be seen in the work of other classes at the Art Institute. Some of the work done in Mr. Wilkins' classes included the produc- tions of posters, a few of which were used by the Museum in the Rapid Transit Series of advertisements and in the schools of Chicago. The portfolio, "Research Design in Nature," which was published during 1925 by Mr. Wilkins from Field Museimi Press, was compiled from the work of his classes at the Museum. It contains approximately 220 plates, showing about 3,000 designs based directly on Museum exhibits, and is finding a diversified use in art, education and industry. Publicity General. — During the past year the Publicity work was enlarged, international as well as local and national mediimis being used. Neces- sarily the emphasis lay upon local efforts, the primary aim of the work during the year being to arouse a desire on the part of the general public to visit the Museum. In addition to attempting to increase the use of the Museum by the public through arousing an interest in its exhibits and activities, an 456 Field Museum of Natural History — Reports, Vol. VI. active campaign has been maintained to enable the stranger to find his way to the Museum. Various advertising mediums have been placed at the disposal of the Museum without charge. This occasion is taken to again extend the thanks of the Institution to the givers of this space. Press Publicity. — ^An average of five newspaper notices were pub- lished each week in the local papers, some of these notices appearing in all or several of the six Chicago newspapers. Of the two hundred and fifty news stories, ninety-three were published nationally and twenty-one received international circulation. The aim of these stories was to in- form the public regarding the Museum's important exhibits and its re- search, expeditions, aims, accomplishments and general activities. During the year, news, feature and pictorial publicity was secured through the following distribution ser\'ices: Associated Press, United Press, International News, Universal Service, Consolidated Press, Underwood & Underwood. International Photo Service. Kadel & Herbert, Pacific and Atlantic, Photograms. Wide World, Central Press, NEA vService, Havas, Agence Radio, Reuters, Rosta, Aus- tralian Press, etc. Illu.strated articles were also printed in several leading magazines concerning Museum projects and activities. Advertising. — A series of six color posters, representing Museum exhibits, was displayed in the Elevated Line Stations. Placards an- nouncing the lecture courses were also displayed by the Rapid Transit Company in the spring and autumn. During the same seasons, the Surface Lines printed, at their own expense, overhead posters advertising the Museum. The Illinois Central Railroad, through the courtesy of the Inland Advertising Company, continued to give advertising space in its suburban trains to the Museum. Two color posters were distributed to libraries, schools and other institutions advertising the spring and autuinn lecture courses for adults and similar distribution was given to two posters advertising children's courses. A series of three color posters was used to advertise the Americanization Programs, distribution of this series being by mail and through the assistance of the Citizenship Committee of the Chicago Council of Social Agencies. Through the courtesy of the Clyde W. Riley Advertising System, the Museum used during the year a page in each program used by the eight- een theatres whose programs are controlled by the System. A page advertisement also appeared in each issue of the Auditorium Theater Jan., 1926 Annual Report of the Director 457 program during the 1925 season of the Chicago Civic Opera, this space being secured through the interest of President Stanley Field. An advertisement of the Museum appeared in This Week in Chicago, issue of May 3-9, 1925, through the courtesy of the publisher. Direction Folders. — A form letter has been sent to an average of fifty convention chairmen a month during the past year, offering them a supply of folders on "How to Reach Field Museum." A number of conventions have been supplied in this manner with the folders. This folder also received wide distribution through the courtesy of local hotels, information booths and railroad stations. Division ov Pki.vtinc The Division of Printing produced an excess of 2,000 exhibition labels and 150,000 other impressions over the total for 1924. The following publications were printed and bound during the year by this section : Regular publication series 15.714 Design Series i ,500 Leaflet Series 4-^.048 Technique Series 2,200 Membership Brochure 7i236 Museum Publication Price List 100 Total 68,798 The number of labels and other impressions printed follows : Anthropology Botany Geology Zoology Harris Extension General Geographic Society of Chicago.

Among the exhibition labels printed, those produced on buff stock are worthy of mention as they have proved unusually legible in the artificially lighted halls. No. 3 in the Design Series is a good example of the cooperation which exists between the divisions of Photography, Photogravure and Printing. It consists of a portfolio with thirty-eight photogravure plates and four pages of text. Division of Photography and Illustration Photography. — The total nimiber of operations, lantern slides, prints and negatives made by this division during the year was 11,903. Two hundred and sixty-nine negatives were made for the portfolio, Research Design in Nature. The following tabulation is a summary of the work performed : Anthropology. . .
