This warrants turning back for a moment to review the purpose of its founding, before looking briefly into the question of its duty, today, to those who support it and give it life— the people of the United States. For the infant museum, G. Brown Goode, then its assistant director, farsightedly set the goal of serving the Nation in three principal ways: As a museum of record—in which was to be housed the national treasures, scientific and historic; as a museum of research—in which a staff of specialists and scientists were to study, classify, and document these materials; and as a museum of education—to which the public could turn for self-improvement and study. Through the years, thanks to the devoted service of its staff and the loyal interest of its many friends in this country and abroad, the Museum has persistently striven toward this goal, with varying success as the vicissitudes of the times have permitted. Changing conditions, however, have shifted somewhat the emphasis on the services embraced by this goal, so that today the Museum stands before the general public primarily as a museum of exhibition and as a museum of reference. It will, perhaps, be worth while to essay a further explanation of these terms, so that the basic function of the Museum and its place in our national life will be clarified. Sightseeing visitors, of whom there were more than 2,600,000 this year, naturally think of the Museum in terms of the objects displayed in the exhibition halls. These exhibits do play a unique role in the visual education of the public by bringing to its attention treasures of national history, the natural resources of the world in which we live, and the achievements of mankind in material culture, science, indus- <<>> try, and the arts, both past and present. Yet these objects number less than one percent of the total of items in the national collections. Nor are they, for all their extrinsic interest and worth, always the most valuable part of the collections. As the tabulation on the opposite page demonstrates, it is in the vast reference collections that the real wealth of the Museum lies. ‘Their value resides not alone, however, in their impressive numbers (some are among the greatest in the world), although the agencies and individuals using them are grateful to find gathered under one roof most of the materials they need. Nor does it reside alone in their cataloging and orderly arrangement, since many thousand specimens await this essential processing for want of the personnel and space necessary to accomplish it. Nor, indeed, does it reside alone in the factual documentation that accompanies them, for so rapidly have the collections grown, and continue to grow, that often only a bare minimum of this can be undertaken. Curatorial Duties The value of the collections, in fact, derives from all these attributes together as they are brought into focus by the skill and knowledge of the scientific staff. For it is the staff members, in discharging their curatorial duties of collecting, documenting, preserving, and studying the materials under their care, who make a useful, living organization out of what otherwise would be a sterile warehouse of inanimate things. In anthropology, natural history, arts and industries, or national history alike, by documenting and preserving the collections the staff assures the investigator, today and tomorrow, of a complete range of authenticated specimens for inspection, for comparison, and for further study. This is essential. Later improvements in methods of evaluation and interpretation will make it possible to obtain from the specimens additional data that are not now obtainable, and that will be lost forever if the specimens are not preserved. By its study the staff has produced, and continues to produce, a vast amount of essential information about the collections, although much more is still locked up in the specimens for want of further critical study—for want of further research. The release of these facts in order to increase the usefulness of the collections placed in their charge is far too great a task for the staff to accomplish alone, since much of their attention must necessarily be devoted to the physical care of the collections, to preparing and exhibiting them, and to answering requests for assistance, and for information about them—requests that come from other Government <<>> Department of eed TP MR!

(The tabulation on the opposite page indicates the extent of some of these routine duties.) Indeed, so great is this task of getting the facts that even with the full cooperation of scientists and museums throughout the world the progress is discouragingly slow. For this reason the curators are glad to assist their research associates and collaborators, and the visiting scientists from other institutions and universities, who come to work in the collections on special problems. By thus extending the scope of their research activities the staff keeps the Museum in step with the everadvancing stream of scientific knowledge. Useful Knowledge To what end beyond that of satisfying curiosity is all this research undertaken, and all this knowledge compiled? The proposition that knowledge, of itself, is a good thing, and that therefore the seeking of it is worth while, is a fundamental part of the philosophy of democracy. Today we affirm the truth of this proposition, yet, since we must live in a workaday world, we tend to value most highly that knowledge which is most practical. Scientists and specialists the world over find museum research essential and rely heavily on the National Museum for the kinds of information it is uniquely fitted to develop. The knowledge arising from this research serves as a basis for other work with immediate practical applications. And even when such an application cannot be specifically foreseen, the factual nature of the results of research is such that a future value can reasonably be anticipated. Consider for a moment in more particular detail this fact-finding research in science and culture as applied to the activities of the Museum staff. Anthropological research is rather complex and varied. It involves not only the hereditary and physical characteristics of man but also the objects acquired or fashioned by him either for his livelihood or his pleasure. It involves the occupation sites, the tools, or artifacts, and the physical remains of man from the earliest dawn of his prehistoric existence. By a study of these materials archeological research delves into the more or less obscure phases of human prehistory; ethnological research determines the significance of material culture, of primitive arts, and of ceremonial and cult objects of the tribes and peoples of the world; and research in physical anthropology extends both in time and space our knowledge of the physical characteristics of prehistoric and living peoples. <<>> Distributed Submitted Identifled Received in oo ~SCent for §=s for idenon Department accessions Exchanges Gifts Transfers study tification request Anthropology . . 15,396 1,190 314 0 By OPO) on de Sigel Botany. ei « 38, 603 27, 483 406 0 12,906 14,717 12,465 Engineering and ; Industries. . . 3, 073 389 2, 268 0 155 1,198 1,178 Cenlocnimedianiee 16,723 5,292 2,005 81 2,576 10,105 9, 637 IBINSWOAV ON a a oo 3, 716 5 0 3 93 8,417 8, 417 Zoology. .. . . 225,638 18,300 10,078 287 40,925 41,022 37, 377 Toran. . 303,149 52,659 15,071 371 57,189 77,586 71,198 In this manner the archeologist through exploration locates sites of prior human occupation, excavates them, and recovers and identifies his findings. The ethnologist traces from the associated handicrafts the measure of man’s success in obtaining a livelihood from his surroundings. And the physical anthropologist demonstrates from cranial and skeletal remains the physical type represented. From findings such as these anthropologists have pieced together our surprisingly extensive picture of the life of early man. In the biological sciences research provides the data essential to a further study of the relationships of the various forms of life to each other and to their environment, their evolutionary trends, their fundamental properties, and their economic significance. Thus the zoological specialists strive to determine the diagnostic characteristics of all forms of animal life, including not only those implicated as reservoirs or vectors of disease, as parasitic or commensal, or as destroyers of foodstuffs, but also those whose interrelationships are not yet well enough known to be classified as either harmful or beneficial. Likewise, studies conducted by the botanists have as their purpose the determination and evaluation of the speciation, relationships, and geographic distribution of the many and diverse types of plants. Investigations in paleontology and geology relate to periods far older than recorded history. The paleontologist furnishes data regarding the vertebrate, invertebrate, and plant life once present on the earth, as well as some indication of the conditions under which they lived, supplying among other things a necessary background for the study of organisms living today. The geologist is concerned with research involving the identification of rocks and minerals, their structure and composition, their geographic and stratigraphic occurrence, and the underlying physicochemical principles of mineral genesis—essential information to prospectors and to construction and <<>> mining engineers, to namea few. The geologist is also concerned with the nature and identification of crystals, gems, and meteorites, and with such phenomena of physical geology as volcanoes and caves. Research in engineering and industries, including technology and the graphic arts, presents rather different problems than does research in the natural sciences and anthropology. In engineering and industries the concern is with selecting, documenting, preserving, and exhibiting those machines, devices, tools, and products that illustrate significantly the nation’s material progress. Consequently, the research involves an analysis of the many fields covered, so that items may be wisely selected for inclusion in the collections, and also the assembling of factual and historical information on the collections themselves, so that the items may be properly described, evaluated, and organized—to the end that a chronological record of the nation’s industrial progress can be maintained. A similar requirement prevails with regard to research in history, which is principally concerned with mementos of national significance in our civil, military, and naval history, and with stamps and coins— mementos, for example, such as the original Star Spangled Banner that floated over Fort McHenry when Francis Scott Key wrote the national anthem, George Washington’s field kit, personal possessions of the Presidents of the United States, or the historic collection of dresses worn by First Ladies of the White House. Research here leads to the accurate documentation of these treasures and to a fuller understanding of the development of uniforms and accouterments, flags, and defense equipment, and of trends in coinage and in the printing of stamps. Reference Function Thus the staff, by means of research on specimens wisely collected and carefully preserved, has created an orderly treasure house of reference materials to serve the public much as a reference library does, except that the Museum contains not books about things but the things themselves—documented and ready for use. From this brief survey it is seen that two of the services originally undertaken by the National Museum—preserving materials for record and performing research in order to classify and document them— have tended to merge into the more inclusive function of reference, of which they are important but subordinate parts. It is also seen that a considerable public benefit derives from this reference service rendered by the Museum, a benefit alike to the inquiring layman and to the researchers and scientists who use or work in the collections— workers who come from every State and foreign country, from institutions private and public, great and small. <<>> ANNUAL REPORT—INTRODUCTION é It is equally clear that the facts developed through research, and essential to an understanding of the materials in the collections, contribute to the wise selection and effective display of significant items. Thus, this examination of the reference function and its supporting research and field work leads full circle back to the second major function of the National Museum—exhibition. Exhibition Function Today more than ever the citizen needs the service the Museum can render through its exhibits. For through effective exhibits it supplements the citizen’s personal experience and adds measurably to his understanding of the world he inhabits. Through its exhibits the Museum can clarify the facts of nature and science, can point up the significance of trends in technology, can explain developments in industrial techniques, can furnish with authentic mementos the remembrance of notable moments in national history, can give to the problems of living today a historical perspective in the mirrored hallway of other civilizations—present and past. The Museum recognizes this responsibility to the public for making their visits rewarding and stimulating. It has long-range plans for modernizing and rehousing its exhibits, many of which—adequate in their day, a generation and more ago—have become badly outdated. This work goes forward as times permit. It is now in abeyance, owing to world conditions, but it has not been altogether halted. With materials and skills at hand some improvements in arrangement and display are being achieved, but at best these are expedients, and can represent no more than a nibbling at this considerable and time-consuming task. It is a challenging undertaking. Surely no visitor to the Museum can long wander among the exhibit cases that crowd its halls without taking heart from the endless possibilities there presented—possibilities for inspiring the beholder with the meaning and importance of the American heritage in cultural and natural history. Both major functions of the Museum, reference and exhibition, are important and each should support and supplement the other. The impressive growth of the reference collections, a result of the deep and widespread public interest in the Museum’s research and reference work, has placed a heavy burden on the staff and facilities of the institution and has contributed to a present imbalance between the two functions. Yet this imbalance cannot be remedied by subtracting from the already minimal reference services. These services the public finds essential, and often, by virtue of the scope of the collections and the specialized knowledge of the staff—unique. It can be remedied <<>> only by furthering the program of remodeling and revitalizing the exhibits. Balanced Activities A present goal of the Museum, then, is to balance its exercise of the functions of reference service and exhibition so that all will be served. Such a museum, representing freedom of access to the material facts of anthropology, natural science, and industrial technology, and to the facts and authentic treasures of our national history, fully serves the scientific and cultural life of the Nation and stands as an integral part of the way of life we uphold. On the pages following are reported the activities of the staff in discharge of the functions here reviewed. Funds Allotted From the funds appropriated by Congress to carry on the operations of the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus during the fiscal year 1950-51, the sum of $817,954 was allotted to the United States National Museum. Of this allotment $781,754 was used for salaries and expenses required for the preservation, increase, and study of the national collections of anthropological, zoological, botanical, and geological specimens, as well as materials illustrative of engineering, industry, graphic arts, and history. The remainder, $36,200, was used for printing and binding. Publications In addition to an Annual Report, the National Museum issued 25 publications based on work in the national collections, including 4 in the Bulletin series, 19 papers in the Proceedings, and 2 in the Contributions from the National Herbarium. The titles of these are listed on pages 111 and 112. At the close of the year 3 bulletins and 9 Proceedings papers were in press. Members of the staff, their research associates, and collaborators published through the Museum and in the scientific journals and elsewhere a total of 159 books, articles, and reviews involving their special field of interest in the national collections. These were distributed as follows: <<>> Subject Publications | __ Subject Publications Anthropology ...... . 2a) History?

In the natural sciences alone, the known total is 434. Others undoubtedly have not come to the attention of the staff. Following the advancement of Paul H. Oehser to the position of chief of the Editorial Division of the Smithsonian Institution, on June 31, 1950, John S. Lea was appointed editor for the National Museum on November 13, 1950. In the interim, the Museum’s editorial work was ably forwarded by the assistant editor, Gladys O. Visel. Library The library owes much to the generosity of members of the curatorial staff and to other friends in and outside the Smithsonian Institution whose gifts were useful additions to the collections. Especially noteworthy among the gifts this year were about 500 books and periodicals on philately presented by Malcolm Macgregor of Bronxville, N. Y. Dr. Lloyd W. Stephenson’s gift of his own complete set of the Journal of Paleontology was a greatly appreciated addition to the sectional library of the Division of Invertebrate Paleontology. As always, the larger number of publications received by the library were scientific and technical periodicals and other serials that came in continuation of sets previously established by exchange. In addition 5,497 volumes and parts were received as the result of 301 special requests, chiefly for numbers needed to fill gaps in existing sets or to initiate 219 new exchanges. Subscriptions for 242 periodicals not available in exchange were purchased, and 1,444 carefully selected books were bought. Lending continued as a major activity, together with reference and bibliographical work. In addition, the detailed cataloging of 3,145 volumes and pamphlets was completed and 8,810 periodical parts were entered in the periodical record files. Cards added to the catalogs and shelf lists numbered 10,671. The staff also prepared 950 volumes for binding by the Government Printer, and repaired 1,300 books in the library, without, however, reducing the large arrearage of binding and necessary repair work. <<>> Department of Anthropology (FRANK M. SETzLER, Head Curator) A noteworthy increase has occurred in the collections representing western European and American colonial life, and with the recent addition of a specialist in that field, the Department of Anthropology has been able to undertake studies of colonial and early American crafts, notably lighting devices, as well as of materials excavated from seventeenthand eighteenth-century European settlements in Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland. From these are being produced important data of practical use to the archeologist and the historian. The popular response aroused by these studies is indicative of the great underlying interest of the American in his Kuropean antecedents and colonial origins. The scientists on the staff have continued their specialized research on the collections, and have submitted 14 articles for publication in various scientific journals. At the same time the planning and installing of new thematic exhibits, an essential duty to the millions of annual visitors, have been carried forward by them and their scientific aides, while the department preparators have devoted their time to the building of scientifically accurate dioramas. An outstanding accession is the nationally known collection of arts, furnishings, and utensils used by New England settlers of the period 1630 to 1830, discriminately collected by Dr. and Mrs. Arthur M. Greenwood. Over a period of many years furniture, ceramics, glass, pewter, wrought iron and brass utensils, woodenware, paintings, embroideries, textiles, and related items were assembled by them at Time Stone Farm, Marlborough, Mass. Now, through the foresight and generosity of Mrs. Greenwood, these treasures become an important and integral part of the national collections. The age of each piece is intrinsically obvious—stretchers, arms, lids show wear that only time and use can produce. None has been scraped or shellacked ; each has been preserved in its original state. Objects such as early American oak and pine furniture, a painted Taunton chest, a seventeenth-century table from Plymouth carved with interlacing arches showing the influence of early English-Norman architecture; boxes, chests, or looking glasses—each symbolizes a story, a tradition, that is well known to the donor, and for the past two years Mrs. Greenwood <<>> has assisted the staff in documenting and classifying the 2,256 individual items comprising the gift. An outstanding addition to the ceramic and cultural collections is a gift of Mrs. Lura Woodside Watkins. It consists of 314 earthenware utensils and fragmentary lots, most of which were excavated by Mrs. Watkins from the sites of 20 New England potteries in existence between 1687 and the late 1880’s. The collection has been evaluated and descriptions published by the donor. Valuable to students of American pottery as well as to archeologists, it can serve as a control for future identification of similar historical objects. This gift also includes a small number of sherds excavated from New Jersey sites by Robert J. Sims, and glass fragments from New England glass-house locations, as well as six specimens of glassware. Somewhat similar is a collection of colonial and Indian artifacts from the historic Virginia site of Kicotan, donated by Alvin W. and Joseph B. Brittingham. The 628 lots and specimens of colonial objects, ranging from early seventeenth-century utensils and weapons fragments to ceramic wares of the mideighteenth century, provide specific evidence of what was in use in one of the earliest English settlements in America. A collection of 16 silver nutmeg graters bearing the marks of eighteenth century silversmiths, of the type carried by English gentlemen so that they might properly spice their eggnog, was presented by an anonymous friend of the Museum. Archeology.—The archeological collections were enriched by 2,472 prehistoric objects of stone, shell, and pottery from various regions in Venezuela, collected and donated by Lt. Col. Berkeley R. Lewis, United States Army Ordnance. Representative of most of the known archeological horizons from that country, they include several unique objects from areas heretofore unexcavated. Since the Museum collections contained only 42 archeological objects from Venezuela, these specimens are a welcome addition, indeed, to its Latin American series. A total of 413 specimens of stone, pottery, and other materials from various Neolithic sites in Honshu, Japan, were presented by Maj. Howard A. MacCord, United States Army ; 906 sherds representing samples of pottery types from Lower Amazon sites on the islands of Marajo, Caviana, and Mexiana, and in the Territory of Amapa, Brazil, were presented by the Department of Anthropology, Columbia University. Ethnology.—Gen. and Mrs. David G. Barr presented a black silk cape with fur collar and lining of golden-haired monkey skins, worn by a Manchuemperor. Lt. Col. Clifford Lee Smires gave a collection of wooden objects from a native village near Aitape, northeastern New Guinea. It includes a ceremonial staff, wooden bowl, iron-headed <<>> spear, bamboo arrows with palmwood foreshafts, a shell trumpet, decorated wooden drums, utensils of carved and decorated wood, and a highly stylized earthenware cooking pot. Through negotiation with his heirs, the Museum obtained the horse medicine bundle of the late Wallace Night Gun, who, prior to his death in the fall of 1950, was the leader of the horse medicine cult on the Blackfoot Reservation, Mont. The bundle, previously owned by Night Gun’s uncle, Wolf Calf, credited with originating the horse medicine cult among the Piegan Tribe more than a century ago, is unique in museum collections. It includes materials used in constructing the dry painting altar and in performing the horse-dance ceremony of the cult, as well as secret medicines used in doctoring both horses and humans. Extensive information on the history and uses of this ceremonial bundle was obtained nearly a decade ago by Associate Curator John C. Ewers, who witnessed the ceremony in which it was ritually employed. He had an opportunity to study the cult with the assistance of Wallace Night Gun and other members. Physical Anthropology.—Two collections of casts were received: one, representing the fossil hominoids from East Africa, includes a nearly complete skull of Proconsul africanus Hopwood, an apelike form that may come near representing the common ancestor of man and the present anthropoids. The other represents the fossil “ape-men” (Australopithecines) discovered in South Africa. Both were a gift of the American Institute of Human Paleontology and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research. Visitors, who rarely have an opportunity to look behind the scenes in a large museum, often do not realize the work and talent involved in the building of an exhibit, especially the creation of a scientifically accurate diorama. After the scenario of one particular phase of prehistoric or primitive culture has been prepared by the anthropologists, the design, modeling, casting, painting, and sculpturing must be accomplished by museum preparators in the anthropological laboratory. Through their experience, training, and ability, the story or scene is brought to life. For example, a diorama depicting a fall scene in what is now Yosemite National Park, illustrating a moment when this valley was occupied by the Yosemite Indians, has been designed and practically completed. To accomplish this, the background setting was sketched and painted on the domed inner surface of a quadrisphere constructed to enclose the scene. Men, women, and children were <<>> Diorama of village life of Yosemite Indians in Yosemite Valley prior to its discovery in 1851. Last survivor of these people, then occupying 9 villages and numbering some 450, died, aged 90, in 1931. Installed diorama, illustrating typical activities, will be part of integrated exhibit containing authentic tools, weapons, clothing, and other artifacts. <<>> <<>> sculptured, molded, cast in wax, and painted—Indian women gathering acorns, a man making an arrow, women making baskets and taking hot stones for cooking from the fire, hunters returning to camp carrying a deer. All these were arranged around the slab houses under artificial oak and pine trees. Each of the thousands of oak leaves were cast in plastic, painted, and realistically assembled to hundreds of branches. The time and patience required to assemble such a tableau is difficult to appreciate. To provide an integrated exhibit group, the completed diorama when installed will be surrounded by cases containing a selection of authentic objects of material culture collected from the California Indians. Eight other exhibits interpreting the material culture, religion, and arts and crafts of the Navaho and Apache Indians of Arizona and New Mexico, and six devoted to the Indians of California, were planned and installed. An exhibit of shrunken human heads, war trophies from the Jivaro Indians of Ecuador, installed during the year proved exceptionally popular with museum visitors. One case in the Near Eastern hall was revised to include a lay figure of an adult Arab appareled in a costume, headdress, robe, sword, and scabbard, presented by Abdul Aziz ’bn Saud, King of Saudi Arabia, together with the highly decorated trappings of an Arabian saddle and saddlebag. The hall of heating and lighting was entirely revised and its exhibits newly installed. The technological development of firemaking, heating, and lighting devices from different parts of the world is now shown in a series of 22 cases, and many items not previously exhibited were included in the new arrangement. Plans were also drawn up and work started on the preparation of a revised exhibit of plaster busts of American Indians. These are being prepared from the face masks, photographs, and measurements made by the late Dr. Ale’ Hrdlicka. The department arranged or participated in a number of special exhibits. The division of ethnology collaborated with the division of archeology, the National Collection of Fine Arts, and the Philbrook Art Center, Tulsa, Okla., in presenting an exhibition during September 1950, “Pictorial Art of the American Indian—A Living Tradition,” in which selected ethnological and archeological specimens from the museum collections were employed to illustrate the traditional artistic backgrounds of living Indian artists of the Southwest, Great Plains, Eastern Woodlands, and Alaska, whose water colors were on exhibit. Several temporary exhibits were installed in the foyer of the Natural History Building, including painted Easter eggs from Czechoslovakia and Indian and colonial artifacts from a site in the Kicotan region, Hampton, Va., the latter exhibiting chronologically the utensils used in one of the earliest English settlements in America. The Ark of the Law (torah), a masterpiece of fine crafts- 969583—52 <<>> manship designed by Yehuda Wolpert and presented to President Truman by President Chaim Weizmann, of Israel, was installed among the exhibits illustrating cultures of the Near East. A. special exhibit of American Indian gold work was installed in the Middle American hall, and a new exhibit of archeological materials representing the several cultural horizons recognized in the New York area was completed. A new exhibit devoted to physical anthropology, including a display illustrating the technique of making facial masks and busts, was also under way. — An exhibit containing examples of human paleopathology was constructed by the curator of physical anthropology, Dr. T. Dale Stewart, working in cooperation with Drs. William J. Tobin and Daniel J. O’Regan, Washington orthopedic surgeons. It consisted of four interior-lighted exhibit cases in which pathological bones were mounted with their respective X-ray negatives so that a close comparison could be made. This display was shown in Washington during the Twenty-first Annual Scientific Assembly of the District of Columbia Medical Society, in Chicago in connection with the annual meeting of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, where it won a first prize and a gold medal, and again in Atlantic City at the annual meeting of the American Medical Association. Routine preservation and maintenance of the collections continued. In this, a major task was the cleaning of practically all the specimens from the Andean region of Venezuela. Many pottery specimens, especially from Venezuela, Japan, and the Southwest, as well as other objects, were partially restored by the museum aides. More difiicult restoration jobs, including tinting of certain specimens and the manufacture of casts, were carried out in the anthropological laboratory. The systematic reclassification of ethnological specimens from the Washington, Oregon, and California culture areas continued. To provide space for the well-documented and more scientifically valuable collections, part of the North American archeological collections were reorganized, and undocumented materials were culled out of the State collections of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia. The preparation of histories of the physical anthropological accessions and cataloging of exceptionally large series of reprints continued, and work was started on the documentation of anthropometric instruments, photographic files, and sculptured busts of American Indians. <<>> Progress was made also in providing additional documentation to the catalog records of older collections. For example, a group of elderly Assiniboin Indians visiting the Museum were able to provide identification for a number of photographs in the collections taken on the Fort Peck Reservation nearly a half century ago. In another instance, the nonconformity to known types of Oceanic art of two strangely sculptured wooden figures, carved with heavy-browed triangular faces, received in a gift from the Caroline Islands, prompted a search for their identification. It was finally revealed that the Island Trading Co., maintained by the government of the mandated island Trust Territory, had sponsored the carving of hundreds of these figures for the commercial trade. Such documentation adds to the value and usefulness of the collections. The head curator, F. M. Setzler, had an opportunity to study the anthropological and cultural history collections of museums in Detroit, Philadelphia, Columbus, and Buffalo. He worked several days in the Department of Anatomy at Tulane University, New Orleans, with Prof. Harold Cummins on the analysis of the dermatoglyphics which Mr. Setzler collected in 1948 from the Australian aborigines in northern Arnhem Land, Australia. The results obtained, especially from the fingerprints, are highly significant because over 70 percent contain complex whorls, whereas the world-wide average is approximately 45 percent; furthermore, no previous data had ever been collected from these remote aborigines. At the close of the year Mr. Setzler submitted approximately 200 hair samples, which he collected from the Arnhem Land aborigines, to Prof. Mildred Trotter in the Department of Anatomy at Washington University, St. Louis, for analysis and study. These may be as significant as the palmprints and fingerprints. He also prepared a short article, for publication by the Rushlight Club, describing the history of and plans for the Museum collection of heating and lighting instruments, and published an article in Instituto Panamericana de Georgrafia e Historia. Neil M. Judd, associate in anthropology, continued his researches on sites in the Chaco Canyon area of the American Southwest and completed the first volume of the Pueblo Bonito report for publication. Physical Anthropology.—Dr. T. D. Stewart, curator of physical anthropology, during visits to the Westmoreland County Court House in Montross, Va., the John Carter Brown Library in Providence, R. L., and the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore, Md., secured data for the historical section of the report he is preparing on his excavations along Potomac Creek, Va. He also studied the comparative <<>> aspects of stockaded villages along the Atlantic coast at the time of the discovery. Ina review of the problem involving the claim that a separate neural arch is a hereditary condition in the lumbar vertebrae of Eskimos, he reexamined 786 spines, but final analysis of this material was not completed. The associate curator, Dr. M. T. Newman, completed an anthropometric report on data obtained by Dr. K. Oberg in Brazil, and prepared several reports on Indian skeletal material from sites in Virginia, Washington, South Dakota, and Kansas. He began a study of skeletal material from northern Arnhem Land, Australia, and he also laid plans for a study of Indian skeletal material from sites near Mobridge, S. Dak., a careful analysis of which should elucidate some of the problems of racial cultural history in the Missouri River area and thus fit in closely with the work there of the Smithsonian River Basin Surveys. Archeclogy.—Dr. Waldo R. Wedel, curator of archeology, continued researches on various phases of Plains and other New World archeology. His study of aboriginal pottery from Montana, based partly on Museum collections and partly on outside collections, was completed and published in the Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences. He also completed a report on the 1948 findings of the Smithsonian Institution—National Geographic Society archeological expedition to La Venta, Tabasco, Mexico; another on a large and hitherto unreported collection of burial-ground materials made by Dr. M. W. Stirling for the National Museum in 1923 from the vicinity of Mobridge, S. Dak.; and a short nontechnical article on his reconnaissance findings in archeological sites in southwestern Virginia in 1940. In June Dr. Wedel left Washington to supervise the excavation of a stratified Arikara village site near Pierre, S. Dak., for the River Basin Surveys. Dr. Clifford Evans, Jr., associate curator, who joined the staff on January 21, 1951, continued the archeological research on Virginia he had initiated while at the University of Virginia and has been engaged in reorganizing and interpolating his data on the basis of the collections in the Museum. These will present a chronological and geographical sequence of cultural development in Virginia. Concurrently he is analyzing and interpreting archeological materials excavated by the Lower Amazon Expedition (Evans and Meggers) of the Department of Anthropology, Columbia. University, during 1948 and 1949, in the Territory of Amapé4 and on the islands of Mexiana, Cavianna, and Marajo. This is a joint research project with Dr. Betty J. Meggers, who, as comember of the expedition, participated in the field work, laboratory classification of materials, and interpretative analyses. <<>> Margaret C. Blaker, museum aide, made an analysis of certain pottery types from a palisaded village at Potomac Creek, Va. Ethnology.—The curator, Herbert W. Krieger, completed his monograph on the peoples of Taiwan (Formosa) and on the marginal Yami and Bataan peoples who occupy the outlying island groups between Formosa and Luzon. Nearing completion is Mr. Krieger’s study of La Isabela, the first planned Spanish colony in America, founded by Christopher Columbus in December 1493. Research was continued with the collections made, under the Smithsonian grants from the W. L. Abbott and Ernest N. May funds, at fifteenthand sixteenth-century sites of Lucayan and Taino Indian villages and of European settlements associated with the first voyage of Christopher Columbus in the Bahama Islands, Hispaniola, and Cuba. At the invitation of the Cuban Ministry of Education, he attended a conference in Habana, Cuba, to establish archeological and ethnological terminology applicable to the prehistoric and historic Indian cultures of Cuba and the entire Caribbean area. Following the conference he visited the historical Taino Indian village sites of Vigia and Barajagua, in Oriente Province, Cuba, near the town of Banes and the headwaters of the Nipe River, where objects of Spanish colonial manufacture have been recovered in association with Taino Indian artifacts. The associate curator, John C. Ewers, completed 14 of the 16 chapters of his study of the influence of the horse in Blackfoot Indian culture, based on more than 3 years of field work. He also edited Edwin T. Denig’s “Of the Assiniboines,” a manuscript in the Missouri Historical Society, St. Louis, for publication by that society, and continued his quest for comparative specimens useful in documenting the early George Catlin collections of Plains Indian specimens through correspondence with European museums and in collecting photographs of selected specimens from European collections. Associate Curator C. Maicolm Watkins concluded his studies on lighting of the inventive period, 1830-1860. Results of the brief study by him on the form of American federal period pianos were published in the magazine Antiques. He continued with his research in identification and evaluation of colonial archeological materials from various sites in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and New England. In connection with his interest in completing research on European and American pottery types found in colonial archeological sites, he visited the National Park Service Museum at Jamestown, Va., to examine colonial pottery excavated from the site of old Jamestown. <<>> Research by visiting investigators.—Scientists, scholars, and writers from various museums, scientific organizations, colleges, and universities in this country and abroad, numbering more than 500, conferred with the staff, studied the collections, and used the library facilities of the department in connection with their particular research problems. They came from England, Germany, France, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, Japan, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, and from 18 States in the Union. Among the agencies of the Federal Government, the National Park Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Department of State made frequent use of the department’s facilities, as did the Civil Service Commission, the Army Recreational Service, the Public Housing Administration, and several State agencies. <<>> Department of Zoology (Watpo L. Scumitt, Head Curator) The year’s accomplishments of the staff are highlighted by the completion of three significant manuscripts, each of far-reaching importance in its particular field of zoological science. These papers mark the culmination of several years of serious study and some months of field work on the part of the authors: FisHEs OF THE MARSHALL AND MARTANAS ISLANDS The first volume of a descriptive catalogue by Dr. Leonard P. Schultz, curator, Division of Fishes, assisted by Dr. Ernest A. Lachner, associate curator, Loren P. Woods, Chicago Natural History Museum, Dr. Harl S. Herald, California Academy of Sciences, and Arthur D. Welander, University of Washington. Birps oF THE ARNHEM LAND EXPEDITION A report on a collection made in a little-known area by an expedition sponsored jointly by the Commonwealth of Australia, the National Geographic Society, and the Smithsonian Institution, by Herbert G. Deignan, associate curator of birds. Frogs ofr SOUTHEASTERN BRAZIL A monographic account by Dr. Doris Cochran, associate curator of reptiles and amphibians. Also this year there were at least 290 publications based on material belonging to the Museum. Members of the zoological staff were authors of 79 of these, in some cases joint authors. The authors of the remainder were either employees of other Government agencies, or were outside investigators who either were assisted with the loan of specimens or who worked in the collections at the Museum. The staff submitted for publication an additional 24 articles. With regard to the collections, the number of specimens added showed an increase of 20 percent over the previous year. As for type specimens, which form the most valuable part of any systematic collection, this year showed an increase of not less than 1,434 types, chiefly holotypes and mostly insects. The retirement of the curator of echinoderms, Austin H. Clark, on December 31, 1950, after 42 years of intimate association with the Institution, calls attention to the fact that under his ministrations the national collection of echinoderms has grown to be probably the largest and, except for the east Atlantic and Mediterranean areas, <<>> by far the most representative in the world. As regards crinoids it is without a peer. In other staff changes, in the division of mammals, Norman M. Miller, aide, resigned August 25, 1950, Charles O. Handley, Jr., was appointed assistant curator on November 28, 1950, and James H. Brown was appointed October 16, 1950, as skilled laborer. Robert Kanazawa, scientific aide, worked in the division of birds from November 138, 1950, to June 22, 1951, and then transferred to the division of fishes. J.T. Willett, museum aide, resigned on December 31, 1950. While making an ecologic survey of the Point Barrow region, the director of the Arctic Research Laboratory, Prof. G. E. MacGinitie, and Mrs. MacGinitie extensively sampled the invertebrate fauna of the adjacent ocean. As a result of their labors and their interest in the national collections, some 1,600 marine shells and nearly 7,500 miscellaneous invertebrates came to the Museum. Transferred to the Museum by the United States Army were several collections consisting of 88 mammals from Malaya and 57 reptiles and amphibians from Selangor. They were obtained by Maj. Robert Traub, who studied scrub typhus in Malaya and animal-borne diseases of man in Alaska and elsewhere in the course of his service with the Army and the United States Public Health Service. Of special interest in the latter donation was the inclusion of a set of king cobra embryos from eggs opened at intervals during the 3 weeks preceding hatching. The fisheries investigations undertaken by the Fish and Wildlife Service vessel Oregon in the Gulf of Mexico under the leadership of Stewart Springer brought to the Museum one of the most extensive collections of fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, and miscellaneous invertebrates ever made in the deeper waters of that area; many new and unusual forms were included in the more than 2,000 specimens received. The Blue Dolphin, commanded by Comdr. David C. Nutt, and sponsored by the Arctic Institute of North America, with the cooperation of the United States Navy, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and the Smithsonian Institution, was in the field from June 21 to September 7 continuing last season’s oceanographic and biologic investigations on and along the coast of Labrador. Special attention was given to the Hamilton Inlet—Lake Melville and Seven Islands Bay areas. Of the zoological collections, made chiefly by Commander Nutt, Richard H. Backus of Cornell University, and <<>> Charles O. Handley, Jr., 210 birds, 18 skeletons, 194 mammals, and 1,431 marine invertebrates accrued to the Museum. Other accessions of special interest included the following: Mammals.—The Gorgas Memorial Laboratory, through the Health Department, The Panama Canal, transferred to the Museum 222 arboreal mammals collected in connection with their investigations of jungle yellow fever. Especially noteworthy, also, was the gift of six fine specimens of chamois collected by the donor, Capt. Kimberly Brabson, U. S. A., in the Bavarian Alps, the first adequate representation of the species ever received. Birds.—The leading accessions were those coming to the Museum as gifts from the W. L. Abbott Fund, Smithsonian Institution, consisting of 3,480 bird skins, 53 skeletons, 2 sets of eggs, and 1 nest of Colombian birds collected by M. A. Carriker, Jr. ; 526 skins, 6 skeletons, and 6 carcasses in alcohol, collected in Panama by Dr. A. Wetmore and W. M. Perrygo; 393 skins from Denmark; and 344 skins from British Colombia, collected by J. A. Munro. Especially worthy of mention are the 453 skins and 29 skeletons of birds from South Africa and Southern Rhodesia, including 59 species new to the Museum, collected by Dr. Herbert Friedmann. Other valuable accessions were received as exchanges from the following: South Australian Museum, 28 skins of Australian birds; Peabody Museum, Yale University, 5 skins representing as many forms of Pacific Island birds new to the Museum; Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt-Universitat, Berlin, 1 skin of a Celebesian honeyeater, M/yza sarasinorum, a genus new to the Museum; Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, a skin each of Upucerthia harterti and Leptasthenura vanacensis from Bolivia; Coryndon Museum, Nairobi, 5 skins of East African honey-guides and warblers; and Museu Dr. Alvaro de Castro, Lourenco Marques, 117 skins of birds from Portuguese East Africa. Reptiles and amphibians.—A number of rarities were included in the year’s accessions: 31 reptiles and amphibians, the first specimens from Korea since the Jouy material was received in 1885, were presented to the Museum by William E. Old, Jr., a member of the armed forces serving in that country. The School of Tropical Medicine, Calcutta, India, donated 71 reptiles of great interest, among them 2 species (4 specimens) of the genus Uropeltis, never before represented in the national collections. The Everglades National Park donated a paratype of a new subspecies of the swamp snake Liodytes alleni lineatopus, and the Museum of Natural History, University of Illinois, through Dr. Hobart M. Smith, a paratype of a snake, Tantzlla flavilineata. <<>> Fishes.—Rare species and type material comprised at least a part of each of the year’s more noteworthy accessions of fishes. Important accessions received in exchange include: From the Applied Fisheries Laboratory, University of Washington, through Drs. Lauren R. Donaldson and Arthur D. Welander, 144 fishes, including numerous types of new species from the Marshall Islands; Rhodes University College, through Dr. J. L. B. and Margaret M. Smith, 91 fishes from Knysna Estuary, Cape Province, South Africa; the University of Hawaii, through Dr. William A. Gosline, 43 Hawaiian fishes, including several types; Stanford University, through Dr. George S. Myers, a paratype of a new Philippine Henicichthys; Cornell University, through Dr. Edward C. Raney, 11 fishes from Brazil. Cornell University, through Dr. Raney, also contributed 215 fishes from Japan as a gift. Other noteworthy gifts were received from: Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, through Dr. George A. Moore, 87 paratypes of a new darter; Dr. Clark Hubbs, 176 clinid fishes from various localities; the California Academy of Sciences, through Dr. Earl 8. Herald, a paratype of a new pipefish; and Dr. Eugenie Clark, American Museum of Natural History, 3,730 specimens collected by the donor in Micronesia. Insects.—The more important insect accessions were transfers from the United States Department of Agriculture. These included two accessions totaling 66,498 specimens in part from the Department’s Alaska insect project (18,498 specimens) and in part from the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine (48,000 specimens) ; Dr. Albert R. Shadle’s lifetime collection of insects, numbering 5,357 specimens representative of most of the orders; and the Eggers collection of bark beetles, especially rich in material from South America, 6,449 specimens. By transfer from the Department of the Army, through Lt. Col. Walter J. LaCasse, there were received 73 mosquitoes that he had collected in Korea and that are of great value in determining the species encountered by the armed forces in their control work in that country. Individual donors enriching the national collections with important material are Prof. Masao Azuma, with 184 Japanese ants; Dr. Wilhelm Wagner, with 111 European leafhoppers, of which a large part are new to the collections; and H. G. Barber, with his private collection, consisting of 32,151 bugs and beetles. Marine invertebrates.—In addition to the important material coming to the division from various expeditions and investigations (see p20) valuable type material was received as a gift from the following: Museum of Comparative Zoology, through Arthur Loveridge, 16 types of fresh-water crabs from Nyasaland; National Research Council, Pacific Science Board, Scientific Investigations of Micronesia, through Dr. M. W. de Laubenfels, 9 types of Hawaiian and 98 types of <<>> Micronesian sponges; Dr. George Henry Penn, types of a crayfish; Dr. N. T. Mattox, types of an anostracan branchiopod; Dr. Joel W. Hedgpeth, types of 2 species of pycnogonids; Dr. Roman Kenk, types of 4 fresh-water flatworms from Alaska; Dr. Horton H. Hobbs, Jr., types of a crayfish; Robert J. Menzies, 86 types of isopods of the genus Limnoria; Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, Holland, through Dr. L. B. Holthuis, 9 types of gorgonians; University of California, through Dr. Ralph I. Smith, 2 types of a species of shrimp ; Dr. Wesley R. Coe, a type of a nemertean; and the University of Southern California, Allan Hancock Foundation, through John D. Soule, a bryozoan paratype. The large collection of nearly 3,000 largely identified crayfish and other fresh-water invertebrates from Indiana and the TVA region, received from Dr. Rendell Rhoades, formed one of the most important accessions of the year. Also to be noted is the selected set of decapod crustaceans from the Mediterranean coast of Spain, an exchange from Dr. R. Zariquiey. Mollusks.—Most noteworthy of the 208 accessions this year were: 275 marine mollusks from Malindi, presented by the Kenya Colony Game Department through R. Teague; nearly 2,000 land mollusks, mainly of the family Urocoptidae, from Cuba, a gift from Oscar Alcalde Led6n; 604 land and fresh-water mollusks from Panama and Ecuador, transferred to the Museum by James Zetek, Canal Zone Biological Area ; 2 rare marine mollusks, A/wrex spectrum Reeve, from Dominica, British West Indies, presented by A. Hyatt Verrill; 105 Japanese shells, including paratypes of 6 recently described species, from the Zoological Institute, Kyoto University, through Tadashige Habe and Dr. Tokubei Kuroda; the type of a marine slug, Plewrobranchaea hedgpethi Abbott, from Port Aransas, from Dr. Joel W. Hedgpeth; 5 types of the marine mollusk Polycera hummi Abbott, from Florida, from the Marine Biological Laboratory, Florida State University; 2 paratypes of Micrarionta agnesae Kanakofi, from San Clemente Island, Calif., from the Los Angeles County Museum, through George P. Kanakoff, and 2 paratypes of the Cuban land shell Cerion chaplini, described by Charles B. Wurtz, from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. Helminths.—Much type material was included in the 11 accessions received this year: The types of 3 nematodes parasitic in lizards from California and Arizona from Raymond H. Edgerly; types of a parasitic annelid, Schmardaella hylae Goodchild, from Dade County, Fla., from Dr. C. G. Goodchild; the types of 8 trematodes and cestodes from California, from Dr. E. C. Haderlie; types of 3 trematodes from Miss Mary Louise Hanson; types of a nematode, Longistriata neotoma Murphy, from Melvin F. Murphy; types of a cestode, Cittotaenia megasacca from Carbon County, Wyo., from the author, Charles F. <<>> Smith ; types of 2 cestodes, Mesogyna hepatica, new genus, new species, and Hymenolepis pulchra, new species, from California, from Dr. Marietta Voge; types of the trematode Alloglyptus crenshawi Byrd, from Prof. Elon E. Byrd; and the types of 3 cestodes, from David T. Clark. Echinoderms.—Several interesting specimens were accessioned this year from the Institute of Fisheries Research, University of North Carolina, through Dr. W. H. Sutcliffe: A very fine specimen of Asterias vestita, described by Thomas Say in 1825 and not seen since that time; four other sea-stars, Motraster magnificus, previously known only from St. Helena and Puerto Rico, a record for size in this species; Goniaster cuspidatus, representing the most northern locality from which the species is known; and nine specimens of Sider7aster grandis, described by A. E. Verrill in 1899 and not since collected. Also worthy of mention was a specimen of the rare Tethyaster subinermis from the Mediterranean, received from the British Museum (Natural History), through Ailsa M. Clark. As an interim step in the program of replacing with modern habitat groups the outmoded synoptic displays, some of which are more than 40 years old, the chief exhibits preparator, W. L. Brown, and his staff turned their efforts toward the replacement of old specimens, formerly mounted on bases or standing in otherwise bare cases, with ones more recently mounted. This also involves fitting the cases with lights, providing suitable monochrome backgrounds, and supplying appropriate accessories and foregrounds. The first of these completed contains two red wolves from Texas, and the second, a striking group of pronghorn antelopes, three bucks of varying ages and a doe, from southern Wyoming. Until the customary museum procedure of mounting such animals in habitat groups can be resumed, others of TOP: Exhibits staff remodels Virginia deer display. sult will be a semihabitat group with animals posed among actual vegetation from cypress swamp in which they were taken, near Allendale, S. C. BOTTOM: Completed exhibit of pronghorn antelope from Oregon Butte area of Wyoming, in semihabitat group. Use of authentic accessories, indirect lighting, and neutral background makes a more effective and instructive exhibit than previous arrangement of mounted animals in bare case. It represents a step toward the diorama effect of a true habitat group. <<>> <<>> <<>> the mammal series in the public halls will be similarly treated, beginning next year with the Virginia deer. Seven miniature models, as well as two dioramas and six life-size models, were completed; four birds and one small mammal were mounted; and new labels were prepared for a number of exhibits. A number of mounted pheasants in two illuminated cases were also placed on exhibition this year, as were seven penguins, two sage grouse, four deer, a squirrel, a deer head, and a caribou head. The reorganization and rehabilitation of the comprehensive Iddings collection of Lepidoptera being carried out by W. D. Field, associate curator of insects, are nearing completion, and it is hoped that this fine material, now arranged to tell a real story about these most interesting insects, will be back on exhibition before the end of the calendar year 1951. The entire collection of rodent skins was rearranged and put in order, greatly facilitating work on and identifications in this most numerous and most frequently studied group of mammals. Some progress was made in merging the Fish and Wildlife collections of birds with those of the National Museum, the Nyctibiidae, Caprimulgidae, Apodidae, Trogonidae, and a small part of the Strigidae being treated. Routine processing and cataloging of the reptile and fish collections continued. Both are in an excellent state of preservation, arranged in an orderly manner, and readily accessible. However, it is estimated that several years will be required to complete the identification and cataloging of the large accessions of fishes recently acquired. About 12,000 specimens of insects, mostly recent accessions, were prepared and distributed among the collections and some 9,000 others were reconditioned. A portion of the Rhopalocera, presented to the Museum several years ago by J. A. Smyth, was transferred from the Smyth cases to those in which the national collections are filed. Rehabilitation of the Collembola collection was continued. Under the direction of the assistant curator of marine invertebrates, F. M. Bayer, the collections of flatworms, nemerteans, chaetognaths, and bryozoans were condensed and arranged in alphabetic order. A similar reorganization of the sea anemones was initiated. As a result of the labors of J. T. Willett, museum aide, until his resignation at the end of the calendar year, all the penaeid and caridean shrimps were completely inventoried and rearranged and are now in good order for the first time in a number of years. All the crustacean type lots were inspected. It was found that the labels placed on the shelves for recording periodic checks of the pre <<>> servative provide an effective means of determining the types of bottles subject to evaporation. In continuation of the comprehensive reorganization of the study collections of mollusks, a start was made in combining the New World mainland land shells and those from the West Indies into one neotropical land mollusk collection. Almost all the Museum’s freshwater shells were brought together in one room to simplify the use of this important world-wide collection. Rapid progress is being made in the segregation of zoological type specimens so that they may be better safeguarded. Remaining to be segregated are between 20 and 25 percent of the insect types and 10 percent of the mollusk types. Preparatorial work, making up and renovating skins, and cleaning skeletal material consumed a considerable part of the time of the staff in the taxidermist shop. For the divisions concerned chiefly with land vertebrates 148 turtles were skinned, the skins tanned and made up, 26 shells and skulls were roughed out, and 3 shells and 2 skulls were cleaned ; 41 mammals were skinned, of which 30 were made into study skins and 11 were prepared for tanning; 12 mammal skins were beamed; 102 fresh and dry bird skins were made up, 59 scraped and degreased before making up, and 51 skins relaxed and reshaped. Osteological work included the cleaning of 1,490 skulls, the roughing out of 44 complete skeletons, and the cleaning of 110 skeletons. Mammals.—In his studies of mammals of the Pacific Ocean area, Dr. David H. Johnson, associate curator, gave special attention to the classification of the Muridae and to the fauna of the Palau Islands, while continuing active work on a report of the mammals of the Australian Arnhem Land Expedition of 1948. He left on June 15 for the purpose of making collections on and in the vicinity of Mount Kinabalu, British North Borneo, attached to a medical research unit from the United States Army Medical Department Graduate School engaged in an intensive study of scrub typhus. Dr. Henry W. Setzer, associate curator, began a study of the material collected by Harry Hoogstraal in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. On June 3 he departed to make an ecological study of the mammals of the Arctic slope of Alaska, with headquarters at the Arctic Research Laboratory at Point Barrow. This undertaking, expected to produce the first complete collection from this area, will continue through the summer season. Partial support for the work was provided by the Office of Naval Research. Charles O. Handley, Jr., who was appointed assistant curator in November 1950, made particular progress <<>> with a systematic and distributional study he had under way on Arctic hares, foxes, and lemmings. Birds.—The curator, Dr. Herbert Friedmann, completed about onethird of his monograph of the honey-guides (Indicatoridae) based largely on his work in southern Africa. Jointly with Ludlow Griscom and R. T. Moore he published the first volume of the “Check List of the Birds of Mexico,” and a number of shorter papers and reviews, and also gave considerable time to the preparation of ranges of the Parulidae of North America for the new A. O. U. “Check List of North American Birds.” With the aid of grants from the Guggenheim Foundation and the American Philosophical Society and special research funds of the Smithsonian Institution, he was enabled to spend a little over 5 months in South Africa and Southern Rhodesia studying the habits and life histories of the honey-guides and parasitic weaverbirds. Besides amassing a great deal of new information, he made considerable ornithological collections. Herbert G. Deignan, associate curator, completed his report on the birds of the Australian Arnhem Land Expedition, and made further progress on his critical catalog of type specimens of birds in the Museum and on his check list of the birds of the Indo-Chinese region. He also published papers revising various groups and describing new races of Asiatic and Australian birds, and prepared other papers on additional species. Dr. Wetmore continued his work with the Panamanian and Colombian collections and published three papers describing new forms of birds from these areas. From a field trip on which he was accompanied by W. M. Perrygo, exhibits preparator, to the Azuero Peninsula, Panama, he returned with a collection of 526 bird skins, 6 skeletons, and 6 carcasses in alcohol. Reptiles and amphibians.—Dr. Doris M. Cochran, associate curator, after completing her monographic study on “Frogs of Southeastern Brazil,” spent 4 months in London, Paris, and Copenhagen examining collections in preparation for a similar treatise on the frogs of the western and central parts of Brazil. In another paper submitted for publication two new Brazilian frogs were described. Fishes.—Preparation of the descriptive catalog of the fishes of the northern Marshall and Marianas Islands, collected during and after the atom-bomb experiments in 1946, occupied the greater part of the research time of Dr. Leonard P. Schultz, curator, and of Dr. Ernest A. Lachner, associate curator. Over 80 percent of this project is finished. Part I of the catalog, in process of publication, covers 45 families of fishes, involving 183 genera. During the year Dr. Schultz <<>> published six other research papers and had in press or submitted for publication three more. Insects.—Dr. EK. A. Chapin, curator, continued work on the Coccinellidae of Colombia. In addition to his generic studies of the North American Scarabaeidae, O. L. Cartwright, associate curator, completed four short papers. He was dispatched to Costa Rica for the last 6 weeks of the fiscal year to make an intensive study of the insect fauna of the Turrialba area and to secure a representative series of specimens so that the Museum could more authoritatively deal with the many calls made by the Inter-American Institute at Turrialba for the identification of specimens of local insects. William D. Field, associate curator, submitted two manuscripts for publication and actively continued his revision of the New World Lithosiinae and Theclinae. The report on the Isotomidae being prepared by Grace Glance, associate curator, is awaiting further Kuropean material. Dr. R. E. Blackwelder, associate curator, was occupied with the publication of his Museum bulletin dealing with the generic names used in the family Staphylinidae, and made further progress with the bibliography and index of Part 6 of Bulletin 185, “Check List of the Coleopterous Insects of Mexico, Central America, West Indies, and South America.” He also published the bibliography of the late Herbert S. Barber and an account of the present status of the Casey collection of Coleoptera. Marine Invertebrates.—The curator, Dr. F. A. Chace, Jr., published one paper and completed the manuscript of another. His survey of a number of species of Recent decapod crustaceans is nearly completed. Paul L. Illg, associate curator, in continuance of his revisionary studies of the notodelphyoid and lichomolgid copepods, published the description of a new genus and species of notodelphyoid copepod from Japan. While at the Oceanographic Laboratories of the University of Washington at Friday Harbor, during the summer of 1950, he completed field studies of the copepods parasitic upon or commensal with numerous species of fish, tunicates, mollusks, and various other invertebrates. In connection with this work, he collected for the Museum extensive series of copepods and their harboring organisms, together with a large representation of the free-living aquatic animals of the region, gathering more than 5,100 specimens in all. A number of species and genera new to science were obtained, and the information compiled considerably extends the knowledge of the ecological status of the forms concerned. The assistant curator, F. M. Bayer, published the descriptions of two new primnoid corals and a revision of the nomenclature of the Gorgoniidae. He continued work on a handbook of the West Indian octo <<>> corals and during the year completed an abridged account of the aleyonarian fauna of the Gulf of Mexico and the descriptions of certain Hawaiian octocorals. Clarence R. Shoemaker, associate in zoology, advanced his report on the amphipods of the Point Barrow, Alaska, area and his revisionary studies of the American amphipods of the family Talitridae. Mrs. Mildred 8. Wilson, collaborator, continued work on her monographic study of the North American species of the genus Diaptomus and studies of the fresh-water copepods of Alaska. In connection with the latter, she completed descriptions of new species of Diaptomus from Oregon and Alaska and of a new subgenus with representative species inhabiting Alaska and Siberia. In collaboration with Dr. A. G. Humes she completed a study of the late developmental stages of a fresh-water copepod which is significant as the intermediate host of a helminth parasite of humans.

Rehder, devoted himself to a study of the genus Distorsio and to a partially completed paper on 969583—52—_3 <<>> the marine mollusks of the Gulf of Mexico. He also gave considerable time to the preparation of the list of modern names which will form an appendix to a new edition of Rogers’ “Shell Book,” to be published early next fall. Dr. J. P. E. Morrison, associate curator, worked principally on the families Cypraeidae and Conidae of the marine mollusks of Bikini, while continuing his studies on the brackish and fresh-water mollusks of the families Ellobiidae, Pleuroceridae, and Thiaridae. Associate Curator R. Tucker Abbott worked on numerous small papers describing new species of mollusks mainly from the waters of Florida and Texas. He also began a study of the Neritidae of Bikini. Dr. Paul Bartsch, associate in mollusks, finished his monograph on the Cuban members of the family Urocoptidae and made further progress on a similar large paper dealing with the Turritidae of the United States west coast. Echinoderms.—Researches completed by the curator, Austin H. Clark, up to the time of his retirement in December, included work on a collection of echinoderms from Saipan in the Marianas Islands, the preparation of a section on Recent crinoids for the forthcoming “Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology,” a bibliography on the ecology of the Asteroidea and Crinoidea for the National Research Council, and four articles on the fauna of North America, Central America, South America, and the United States to be published (in Hebrew) in the “Encyclopaedia Hebraica,” Jerusalem, Israel. Research by visiting investigators.—More than 2,900 individuals visited the offices and laboratories seeking information, consulting the staff and literature, and examining and studying specimens. Of these at least 385 were professional biologists or serious students working chiefly in the field of systematic zoology. Illustrative of the wide range of interest covered by these specialists is the following list of representative scientists, other than those of government agencies making daily use of the Museum, who did extensive research in the zoological collections.

SwaLLEn, Head Curator) Intensive curatorial work on the botanical collections has improved their arrangement and increased the efficiency with which they can be used. Accessions were about 37 percent less than last year, but approximately the same as the average for the last 10 years. Twentyfive papers on current research problems were prepared and submitted for publication by members of the staff, and an additional 110, based in part on the collections of the National Herbarium, were published by outside investigators. E. P. Killip, head curator since the organization of the department, retired on September 30, after being associated with the National Herbarium for 32 years. Jason R. Swallen was designated head curator on December 10. Dr. George A. Llano, associate curator, division of cryptogams, resigned early in February. Dr. Ernest H. Sohns was appointed associate curator in the division of grasses. Among the larger and more important collections received by the Herbarium were exchanges as follows: 1,814 specimens from the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Bogota, Colombia, collected by Dr. J. M. Idrobo and others, mostly from the Cordillera La Macarena; 1,509 specimens from Gray Herbarium, collected in Newfoundland and eastern United States; 1,043 from the California Academy of Sciences, collected by John Thomas Howell and others in California and western United States; 795 from the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, Canada, composed mostly of Canadian Arctic plants; 595 from the New York Botanical Garden, collected by Dr. R. R. Stewart in Kashmir; 1,273 from the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, containing material from Hawaii and the Pacific Islands; 576 from the Botanical Institute of the Academy of Science of the U.S. S. R., including exsiccatae of the flora of Russia and various specimens from Middle Asia; 689 from the Fundacion Miguel Lillo, Tucuman, Argentina, collected in southern Brazil by Dr. B. Rambo, S. J.; and 724 from the University of Kansas, mostly plants of Kansas, collected by W. H. Horr. Collected for the Museum by C. V. Morton, curator of ferns, were 2,610 specimens from <<>> Honduras and 851 from West Virginia and Michigan. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas presented to the Museum a collection of 184 mounted plants of Lebanon. Gifts with names requested included 2,209 plants from the Museo de Historia Natural “Javier Prado,” Lima, Peru, collected by Dr. Ramon Ferreyra; 662 from the University of Washington, collected in Mexico by Dr. L. R. Stanford and others; and 522 plants of Venezuela from Brother Ginés. A collection of 825 specimens obtained in Alaska and the Aleutian Islands by Dr. Louis H. Jordal was transferred from the Office of Naval Research, United States Department of the Navy. Other important accessions of interest primarily to the individual divisions were the following: Phanerogams.—1,811 specimens and 56 water-color paintings of Rhododendron, as a gift from the C. D. Beadle estate through The Biltmore Co., Asheville, N. C.; 1,091 specimens obtained in Mexico, the West Indies, and the United States, by Dr. O. E. White, as a gift from the Blandy Experimental Farm, Boyce, Va.; 219 Venezuelan specimens, containing many isotypes, collected by Dr. J. A. Steyermark, in exchange from the Chicago Natural History Museum. Grasses.—302 specimens collected in Ecuador by M. Acosta Solis, from the Instituto Ecuadoriano de Ciencias Naturales, Quito, Ecuador; 183 Chilean specimens from Dr. H. Gunckel, Santiago, Chile, collected by him; 124 specimens from Eizi Matuda, Mexico, collected by him in that country; and 46 Brazilian grasses collected by Dr. Geraldo P. Pinto, from the Escola Agronomica da Bahia, Brazil. An important collection of Paraguay grasses, consisting of 225 specimens, transferred from the Institute of Inter-American Affairs, of the Department of State; as a gift, a collection of 80 grasses of Uruguay and Paraguay from Dr. Bernardo Rosengurtt. Ferns.—942 specimens collected for the Museum by the curator, C. V. Morton, 29 collected in West Virginia, 80 in Michigan, and 833 in Honduras; as a gift from the Science Museum, Institute of Jamaica, Kingston, Jamaica, 94 ferns collected by George R. Proctor; as gifts for identification, 120 specimens from the New York Botanical Garden collected in Ecuador by Dr. W. H. Camp; 82 Mexican ferns from Elizi Matuda; and 71 Mexican ferns from Dr. José Sanchez, of the Colegio Ignacio Zaragoza, Saltillo, Mexico. Cryptogams.—In exchange: 500 mosses of Czechoslovakia from Zdenek Pilous, Hostinne, Czechoslovakia; 208 lichens of Washington from the University of Michigan; 170 lichens from Connecticut from Dr. Mason EK. Hale, Madison, Wis.; and 133 algae of the Hassler Expedition from the Farlow Herbarium of Harvard University. <<>> Major curating activities, involving the incorporation of new specimens into the herbarium and the repair and maintenance of those already cataloged, are summarized by the following figures: 1949-50 1950-51 Specimensmounted . ......... . 27,301 33, 488 Specimens repaired . . . eel era reality hod Ste sO 7, 592 Specimens stamped and relonied Evry ovate tN PRO 32, 104 Specimens incorporated in herbarium .. . . 52,003 32, 617 Photographs mounted’) .7).) 23 (hat). Os Sale Oe 730 1, 754 Little attention has previously been given to segregating cryptogamic types, so that until the current year only 92, all mosses, had been selected. During the year, however, 1,931 were segregated, including 1,148 algae, 533 hepaticae, 166 mosses, and 99 lichens. There are now 51,800 specimens in the type herbarium, 2,922 having been added this year. ‘They are divided among the divisions as follows: Phanerogams, 36,986; grasses, 9,716; ferns, 3,075; cryptogams, 2,023. The expansion of the herbarium, begun last year, was completed by the preparation of new indexes to genera to precede each family. In addition, large indexes for three of the largest families have been placed in five herbarium hall. The fruit collection of the division of phanerogams, increased by the addition of 16 specimens during the year, now consists of 1,048 separate fruit specimens. To the Hitchcock and Chase Library 71 publications on grasses were added, bringing the number of entries to 6,852. Additions to the species index numbered 389, making a total of 77,811 entries. Work was continued in segregating specimens of ferns on a geographical basis to facilitate their identification. In the long-range program of reorganizing the cryptogamic collections along modern lines, some minor revisions have been undertaken. The United States Hepaticae were rearranged, following the monograph, “Hepaticae of North America,” by Frye and Clark (193747). Some of the algae were also rearranged, while John A. Stevenson, honorary curator, rearranged the general collection of fungi and also completed the cataloging of the W. H. Long collection of fungi. Jason R. Swallen, head curator, and Dr. A. C. Smith, curator of the division of phanerogams, attended the Seventh International Botanical Congress held at Stockholm July 7-20, representing the Smithsonian Institution and several other institutions and societies. Dr. Smith presented an invitation paper on the flora and vegetation of Fiji, later published in the Scientific Monthly. Subsequently they spent several weeks at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the Brit <<>> ish Museum (Natural History), London, studying types and historic collections pertinent to their research problems. Phanerogams.—Dr. A. C. Smith continued his regional revisions of Pacific Island plants, submitting for publication papers discussing the Rutaceae and Meliaceae of Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga; he also studied miscellaneous families of Fijian plants with a view to publication of various novelties and distribution records. In his studies of the Acanthaceae of Colombia, E. C. Leonard essentially completed the second part, and the third and final part was well advanced. The first part was published during the year. The Venezuelan species of the family collected by Dr. J. A. Steyermark were studied and two papers dealing with them were prepared. Dr. E. H. Walker devoted much time to a study of the flora of the Ryukyu Islands, completing his editorial work on a manuscript on the flora of Okinawa, prepared by resident botanists. His studies on the Myrsinaceae of Japan, Szechwan, and Malaysia were advanced during the year. On May 31 he left to spend 4 months investigating the flora of the:-Ryukyu Islands, having been assigned by the Smithsonian Institution to the Pacific Science Board, under contract with the United States Army. In addition to furnishing certain information desired by its sponsors this expedition will provide needed herbarium material from the Ryukyu Islands, a region much neglected by American botanists. ‘The collections made on the Perry Expedition nearly 100 years ago have never been adequately treated, and on his return Dr. Walker plans to study these in connection with this new material. Dr. L. B. Smith continued his studies in the Bromeliaceae by advancing separate accounts of the family for Colombia, Bolivia, and Brazil. In the course of this work he twice visited the Gray Herbarium. The keys to the Colombian species have been nearly completed, and the second installment of the family treatment for the Flora Brasilica of Dr. F. C. Hoehne has been submitted for publication. Collaborative research on the genus Begonta with Dr. Bernice G. Schubert is being continued. Joint projects on the Colombian species of Violaceae (with Dr. Alvaro Fernandez) and Xyridaceae (with Dr. J. M. Idrobo) are being carried on, the latter approaching completion. Miss Velva Rudd continued her revision of the American species of the genus Aeschynomene, now approximately half completed, and worked 4 days in this connection at the New York Botanical Garden. She also advanced her study of the vegetation of the Venezuelan Llanos, which project is somewhat more than half completed. Grasses.—Jason R. Swallen continued with the preparation of the manuscript on the Gramineae for the flora of Guatemala, which is in the course of publication by the Chicago Natural History Museum. <<>> Mrs. Agnes Chase, research associate, read final proof on the revised edition of the “Manual of Grasses of the United States,” published in January 1951, and continued work on various problems of special interest to her. Dr. F. A. McClure, research associate, continued his experimental work on bamboos, although there has been little opportunity for research on the taxonomy of this group. Ferns.—During the year the principal research of Curator C. V. Morton has been on the ferns of Honduras. In March and April he spent 6 weeks collecting in Honduras, where he was the guest of the Escuela Agricola Panamericana of the United Fruit Co. Special thanks are due to the director, Dr. Wilson Popenoe, and the botanist, Dr. Louis O. Williams. The school, located at El Zamorano in a mountain valley some 25 miles from Tegucigalpa, is within easy reach of a number of varied ecological associations, particularly the cloudforest on the summit of Mount Uyuca, a relatively undisturbed area that is an ideal habitat for ferns. Collecting trips were made to other areas in the Departments of Morazan and El Paraiso. One of particular interest was to the cloud-forest area of the San Juancito Mountains, where he was the guest of officials of the New York and Honduras Rosario Mining Co. A longer trip was made to Lake Yojoa, in the Departments of Santa Barbara and Cortés; the vegetation of the region around the lake is similar to that of the tropical rain-forest region of the north coast of Honduras. There was also opportunity to collect in the mountains near Siquatepeque, in the Department of Comayagua. He was able to find and study in the field about one-third of the species of ferns of Honduras, and a number of species were added to the known flora. The preparation of a preliminary manuscript was completed in January. He submitted for publication two short papers with new combinations in Thelypteris and Hquisetum. Others on the nomenclature of Anetwm, Ananthacorus, and Rhipidopteris are in course of preparation. He also attended the annual summer field trip of the Northeastern Section of the Botanical Society of America, held in West Virginia. Cryptogams.—Paul S. Conger prepared a paper, “The Present Status of Diatom Studies in the Gulf of Mexico Region,” at the request of the Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior, summarizing all diatom studies of the Gulf region and indicating the needs of future investigation. He completed for publication his book “Mr. Thomas Christian, and the Diatomists of Richmond, Virginia,” a work begun in 1946. He prepared also a paper, “The Most Important Role of the Diatom, and Its Relation to Human Affairs.” His taxonomic work included study of a new species of plankton diatom from <<>> the Florida Keys, and the diatoms of Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Dr. George A. Llano completed his paper on the cryptogams of the Alaskan Arctic region, in which he had the valued collaboration of several specialists in this work, especially of Dr. Alexander W. Evans (Cladonia), Dr. William Steere (mosses), Dr. R. M. Schuster (Hepaticae), and Dr. Mackenzie Lamb (Stereocaulon). His monograph of the lichen family Umbilicariaceae in the Western Hemisphere, completed during the preceding year, was published in October by the Office of Naval Research. Research by visiting investigators.—F our investigators have been studying in the National Herbarium during the latter part of the fiscal year, utilizing the collections and being aided in their research by staff members. They are Dr. Ramon Ferreyra, of the University of San Marcos, Lima, Peru, and Dr. Jestis M. Idrobo, of the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Bogota, Colombia, both John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellows; Dr. Hui-Lin Li, of National Taiwan University, Taipeh, Taiwan, China, assigned to the Smithsonian Institution by the Department of State; and Dr. Zoraida Luces de Febres, Division of Botany, Department of Agriculture, Caracas, Venezuela. The herbarium was also consulted by 67 other botanists, mostly from outside of Washington, in addition to the normal frequent use of the collections by members of the staffs of other Government agencies, such as Forest Service and Bureau of Plant Industry, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering of the Department of Agriculture, and the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior. <<>> Department of Geology (W. F. Fosoac, Head Curator) Substantial progress has been recorded by the Department of Geology in all the varied activities which enter into the gathering, maintenance, and study of scientific collections. An increase in the number of visitors and of inquiries directed to the department reflects the growing practical importance of the geological sciences and denotes an ever-widening recognition of the national geological collections as both an effective professional research tool and a source of vast academic information. The increase of the geologic collections has been outstanding as a result of an effective program of field work undertaken by all divisions in the department. Effective use has been made of new mineral accessions in the improvement of the appearance of older exhibits and in the installation of new displays, while marked results have been obtained in the renovating, redecorating, and rearranging of several exhibits of vertebrate paleontology. Members of the staff participated with geologists of the U. S. Geological Survey as hosts to the Geological Society of America during its annual meeting in Washington. Hundreds of geologists and paleontologists visited the Museum to examine the collections and the special exhibits prepared for them and many extended their visits in order to study portions of the collections pertaining to their spheres of interest. Vertebrate paleontologists, moreover, held separate meetings in the Museum in order to have ready access to the collections. Prior to the close of the year, Dr. Foshag was delegated as official representative of the Smithsonian Institution to the centennial celebration of the Austrian Geological Survey, and while in Europe he was detailed to make studies of minerals in museums at Paris, Vienna, and London. Except for the return of Arthur L. Bowsher to the Museum rolls in August 1950 from temporary duty with the United States Geological Survey there were no changes in the scientific personnel. <<>> Important additions to the collections through gifts and exchanges were: Mineralogy and Petrology.—Among the 316 specimens in 75 accessions added to the general mineral collections were species new to the collection, received from the following donors: Huttonite (thorium silicate), from Prof. C. Osborne Hutton; bystromite (calcium magnesium antimonate), from Prof. Brian H. Mason; and pyrallolite (hydrous magnesium silicate), from Dr.Th.G.Sahama. New species added to the general collections through exchange included: schultenite, kolbeckite, larnite, bredigite, rankinite, scawtite, ironwollastonite, metaettringite, ferrogedrite, sabugalite, guadarramite, hydrocerussite, brommellite, arsenoklasite, hornesite, selenokobellite, odenite, yugawaralite, and kobeite. Among the many fine specimens received as gifts during the past year, the following are unusual: Vanadinite, San Carlos Mine, Chihuahua, Mexico, from George B. Hinton; lapis-lazuli, Badakshan, Afghanistan, from the Afghan Ministry of Mines; brannerite, Morocco, and meerschaum, Turkey, from Dr. Mark C.

Through the Roebling Fund 89 specimens were obtained, among which is a collection of 18 specimens of euclase from Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil, that includes some of the finest known specimens of this mineral. Through the Canfield Fund 35 specimens were obtained. Outstanding among these are some vanadinite crystal groups from Mexico, two very fine tourmaline crystals from Brazil, a large and perfectly formed <<>> manganotantalite from Brazil, simpsonite from Brazil, an outstanding group of proustite crystals from Chile, a fine ruby crystal from Burma, a very good specimen of creedite from Bolivia, a large aquamarine crystal from Brazil, a fine group of quartz crystals from Japan, and an opalized cedar cone from Nevada. Of the 417 gems added to the collection, one, an waits 71.20carat aquamarine from Ceylon, was purchased through the Chamberlain Fund, while, through the Roebling Fund were purchased a very fine 110.8-carat pink tourmaline from Manchuria, and three stones of euclase weighing 3.47, 8.86, and 12.54 carats, respectively. Received as gifts were a very fine collection of cultured pearls, consisting of two strands and 395 individual pearls, gift of K. Mikimoto & Co., Ltd., of Japan; a collection of boules of synthetic sapphire and spinel from the Linde Air Products Co. In all, 60 specimens of ores were added to the collection. Received as gifts were copper ores from Peru from the Cerro de Pasco Copper Corporation; uranium and vanadium ores from Utah from W. C. Paterson; chrome ores from Pakistan from Franklin W. Wolf; manganese ores from India, from the Central Provinces Manganese Ore Co., Ltd.; and tin and tungsten ores from Burma from Andrew V. Corry. Dr. Stuart H. Perry continued his interest in the meteorite collection by donating seven meteorites, among them a newly found iron from Mayodan, N. C., weighing 14.46 kilograms; a 205-gram individual of the Benton, New Brunswick, Canada, fall; and slices of the Laketon, Tex.; Pierceville, Kan.; and Wilmot, Kan., meteorites. A small sample of the Maziba, Uganda, Africa, meteorite was presented by John S. Albanese. Invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany.—Many important accessions of fossil invertebrates and plants came to the Museum as gifts, such as: 719 slides of types of Mesozoic and Cenozoic Ostracoda and Foraminifera, from Dr. C. I. Alexander; 20 specimens, holotype and paratypes of Tertiary Foraminifera from Trinidad, received from Dr. P. Bronnimann; 1,000 specimens of Upper Miocene invertebrates from §. E. Crumb; 38 types of Ordovician trilobites from Virginia, from Dr. William Evitt; 48 type specimens of Mississippian coral from Utah from James Parks; 200 specimens of Triassic invertebrates from the Alps from Dr. Franco Rasetti; 1 large stump of a palm tree from the Cretaceous of Texas, from Mrs. J. H. Renfro; 600 specimens of Paleozoic and Mesozoic invertebrate fossils from the British Isles, from Dr. Alwyn Williams, Glasgow, Scotland; 900 specimens of late Tertiary plants from Creede, Colo., presented by the late Belle K. Stewart ; 93 type slides of Foraminifera from the Eocene Aquia formation of Maryland and Virginia, from Miss Elaine Shifilet ; <<>> 11 paratype specimens of Foraminifera from the Pliocene of Japan, from Dr. Kiyoshi Asano; 24 type specimens of Foraminifera from the Tertiary of Trinidad, presented by Dr. P. Bronnimann. More than 100 specimens of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian crinoids from Oklahoma were purchased through the Springer Fund from Harrell Strimple. These specimens include many types and exceptionally well-preserved individual items. As in previous years, the Walcott Fund made it possible for the division of paleontology and paleobotany to send out several field parties. The collections thus made include materials obtained by Dr. G. A. Cooper and W. T. Allen in west Texas and by Dr. Cooper in Virginia and Tennessee. Vertebrate paleontology.—Again this year, probably the most noteworthy addition to the collections of vertebrate fossils is the excellent material of the giant ground sloth, Megatheriwm, secured by the curator, Dr. C. L. Gazin, and Franklin Pearce, in Panama. This includes three well-preserved skulls and abundant other skeletal material, a quantity sufficient to insure complete representation in the mounting of a composite skeleton for future exhibition in the National Museum. A highly significant addition to the collections is the series of beautifully preserved middle Eocene fish secured by the associate curator, Dr. D. H. Dunkle, and Mr. Pearce, from the Green River shales of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Of considerable scientific importance is a series of ray fin fishes from lower and middle Triassic horizons in Idaho and Montana, collected by Dr. Bernard Kummel and transferred from the United States Geological Survey. Two accessions from the River Basin Surveys, materials collected by Dr. T. E. White, are also deserving of special mention. These include some 80 fossil mammals from the Wind River Eocene of Wyoming and from the Oligocene of Montana and North Dakota, and, in particular, a Paleocene creodont skull from North Dakota and a Cretaceous plesiosaur skull from the Pierre shale of South Dakota. The large exhibition cases in the mineral hall are being remodeled and rearranged to create alcoves. In one has been placed a display, Minerals of South West Africa, made up of the choicest specimens from the Kegel Collection, acquired last year; in another is a group devoted to examples of quartz; and in a central alcove, developed about the crystal ball as a centerpiece, are shown Color in the Mineral Kingdom on one side and Form in the Mineral Kingdom on the other. Two alcoves remain to be similarly set up. <<>> The Otis Beall Kent, Edna Ward-Capps, and Mary Vaux Walcott bead collections, placed in special cases at the entrance to the mineral hall, have proved to be very popular.. Other outstanding new exhibits are those showing natural and cultured pearls and synthetic gems. The appearance of the gem collection was enhanced by rearranging and expanding the display. A number of very fine specimens were also added to the systematic mineral collection. The Camarasaurus skeleton placed in the exhibit hall in 1947 was, following completion of its case, opened for exhibition this past year, as was the slab of Buettneria skulls, preparation of which was completed in the preceding year. Through the particular efforts of the division artist, William D. Crockett, the wall cases in the main hall of vertebrate paleontology have been modernized, largely by the use of background arrangement, the introduction of color and light, and a more effective distribution of specimens. Preliminary models and background paintings have been prepared by him for two new exhibits, the Nature of Vertebrate Fossils and the Kinds of Vertebrate Fossils. A model of a special type of display case, known as a “mirrorscope,” utilizing diorama lay-outs, was completed this year. In the lapidary shop, 68 meteorites were cut, polished, and etched; 428 rocks, ores, and minerals were cut and polished; 145 thin sections were cut and prepared; and 141 plaster bases for exhibition specimens were cast. In invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany the entire collection of Coelenterata (sponges, graptolites, and corals) was overhauled and arranged alphabetically by genera. Many hundreds of pictures were made for the card-catalog of Foraminifera, which was started by Dr. Cushman. In cooperation with the Panamanian Government, Museum paleontologists, assisted by laborers from nearby pueblo Pesé, in western Panama, remove fossil bones of Pleistocene ground sloth, Megatherium, from mud surrounding a large spring. Surface of uncovered bone is first hardened with gum arabic, then coated with tissue to prevent protective jacket (plaster of Paris and burlap) from adhering to bone. A composite skeleton of this giant extinct mammal, which once ranged from the Argentine to the southern United States, is being assembled for exhibit in the National Museum. <<>> <<>> <<>> Most of the boxes of the Cushman collection of Foraminifera were unpacked during the year, only about 40 of the more than 300 remaining to be opened, and with the acquisition of special cases, facilities are now on hand for the proper storage of the national collection of Foraminifera. In addition, the Calvert collection of fossil invertebrates was rearranged so that it can be placed in various stratigraphic and biologic collections, and plans are being made for a more systematic arrangement of the Cenozoic materials. The laboratory of vertebrate paleontology was engaged largely in preparing the giant sloth remains from Panama for exhibition in the Panama Museum and in the United States National Museum. Mineralogy and petrology.—The study of Meso-American jade objects in collections in Guatemala, begun under a cooperative project of the Instituto de Antropologia e Historia, Guatemala, and the Smithsonian Institution, was continued by Dr. W. F. Foshag, head curator, Five chemical analyses on selected examples yield, for the first time, an accurate mineralogical characterization of this material. The information obtained is not only of archeological, but also mineralogical interest. The study of the development of Paricutin Volcano, Mexico, is nearing completion. A pictorial record of the history of this volcano, for permanent preservation in the National Archives, the first complete one of a volcano, was prepared to show its growth, from the first half hour of its life to its final establishment as a mature volcanic apparatus, including all significant changes and such features as types of lavas, fumaroles, and electrical phenomena. Associate Curator Switzer worked with the head curator on a mineralogical study of jadeite, making special use of X-ray techniques, and expanding the work to include important new finds of this mineral in California. He spent two weeks in the Iron Springs district of southwestern Utah, completing field work initiated under the United States Geological Survey on the problem of the genesis of the iron ores in that important mining area; in this connection he made chemical or petrographic analyses of more than 600 specimens collected there. At the request of the Geological Survey, he also started the preparation of a monograph dealing in detail with all of the uranium minerals. The work is being done at the National Museum because of the completeness of its reference collection. An additional 200 photographs were added to the reference catalog of X-ray powder diffraction patterns of minerals. Associate Curator Henderson, in his investigations of the composition and classification of iron meteorites, completed the study of <<>> hexahedrites and nickel-poor ataxites, and continued his study of the relationships and distribution of certain inclusions in metallic meteorites, such as cohenite, schreibersite, and troilite. Dr. Stuart H. Perry, associate in mineralogy, continued his metallographic studies of iron meteorites, and Dr. John P. Marble, associate in mineralogy, continued his investigations on the absolute measurement of geologic time, including the analyses of various radioactive minerals. Invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany.—The curator, Dr. G. A. Cooper, completed the specific descriptions of all the pentamerids, rhynchonellids, and part of the punctate orthids, representing about two-thirds of the systematic portion of his Ordovician research project. All the plates have been prepared and the stratigraphic discussion for this paper is about half finished. He submitted for publication his study of the Cambrian stratigraphy of Caborca, northwest Sonora, Mexico, and is preparing one of the post-Cambrian and another on the Permian of the Glass Mountains, Tex. With Museum Aide W. T. Allen he spent several weeks during the summer of 1950 collecting from and studying the Wolfcamp formation, the lowest portion of the Permian beds of west Texas. The collection returned to Washington included many specimens cracked directly out of the massive Wolfcamp limestone, as well as many large blocks containing silicified specimens for etching. Later in the summer Dr. G. A. Cooper, in the company of Dr. B. N. Cooper, of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, spent several days collecting Ordovician fossils from the Catawba Valley section near Blacksburg, Va. Subsequently, a thick sequence of Ordovician rocks also was examined by Dr. Cooper with Dr. R. B. Neuman, of Gatlinsburg, Tenn., during a brief trip to the west side of the Great Smoky Mountains in eastern Tennessee. At the close of the fiscal year Dr. Cooper, assisted by Associate Curator A. L. Bowsher, was continuing his collecting in the Wolfcamp Hills in the general vicinity of Marathon, Tex., in order to determine the areal extent of the Wolfcamp formation and to make collections in the extreme southwestern and northeastern parts of the Glass Mountains. Under a contract with the Office of Naval Research, Associate Curator A. R. Loeblich, Jr., made a large collection of the living Arctic Foraminifera near Point Barrow, Alaska, during the summer of 1950, in connection with his study of Arctic Recent and Pleistocene Foraminifera. In late April and May of 1951 he collected foraminiferal samples with the cooperation of Max B. Payne, of Bakersfield, Calif., in the Moreno and Panoche formations in Fresno County, Calif., and with Dr. Edward Bailey, of the United States Geological Survey, in the Franciscan series, in Santa Clara County, Calif. In collaboration <<>> with Dr. Helen Tappan Loeblich, in his study of this material from the Gulf Coastal Plain, he has mounted and identified over 6,000 type slides of lower Cretaceous Foraminifera. The work is being aided immeasurably by Mrs. Sally D. Lee, who has already prepared several hundred shaded camera-lucida drawings to illustrate the species. Most of the line drawings and photographs have been made, and the text of Associate Curator A. L. Bowsher’s “Revision of the Actinocrinidae” is being completed. Some of the field work for his project on the bioherms and stratigraphy of the Mississippian rocks of New Mexico has been finished, and the collections are being studied. Associate Curator David Nicol has published four papers this year on various pelecypods and has made progress on a paper discussing the pelecypod genus E’chinochama, and on his study of a suborder of the pelecypods, being made for a cooperative undertaking known as the “Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology,” sponsored by the Geological Society of America. Dr. J. Brookes Knight, research associate in invertebrate paleontology, revised a considerable part of his reclassification of the major categories of the gastropods, completed his study of the Wolfcampian bellerophonts, and made some slight progress in his study of the Permian gastropods. Dr. R. S. Bassler, associate in paleontology, has practically completed his volume on Bryozoa for the “Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology.” Vertebrate paleontology.—During the first part of 1951 the curator, Dr. C. L. Gazin, conducted a second expedition to the interior of western Panama, accompanied by F. L. Pearce. The particular objective of this season’s investigations was to obtain as wide a representation as possible of the Pleistocene fauna of the country. The bulk of the materials collected was again of the giant ground sloth, Megatherium, but a good representation was obtained of a mastodon skeleton and, in addition, fragmentary remains were found of a peccary, giant armadillo, andabird. Except for Megatherium, these are all in addition to Toxodon, glyptodont, horse, deer, capybara, and turtle secured the year before. All this year’s collection was obtained from deposits adjacent to large springs near the town of Pesé. Asin the previous year, the expedition was carried on in cooperation with officials of the Panamanian Government, and, in particular, the Muséo Nacional de Panama, where again a part of the collection will be returned. Before the end of the present year, Curator Gazin left Washington for a short collecting season in the lower Eocene Knight and Paleocene Almy deposits of western Wyoming, continuing a pro- <<>> gram of investigation and study of early Tertiary faunas in the Rocky Mountain region interrupted temporarily by field work in Panama. In addition, he published, jointly with R. Lee Collins of the University of Tennessee, a study of the Miocene land mammals of the Chesapeake Bay region, and he completed a study of the Pleistocene mammalian fauna found associated with human remains at Melbourne, Fla. He made some progress on his monograph of the early Tertiary tillodonts and started a study of a Pleistocene mammalian microfauna from a fissure deposit in Strait Canyon, Va. Continuing field work initiated prior to the close of the last fiscal year, the associate curator, Dr. D. H. Dunkle, and F. L. Pearce, preparator, of the division laboratory, renewed careful stratigraphic collecting from the Eocene Green River shale formation in the states of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. A collection of some 500 specimens was obtained that includes fossil plants, invertebrates, and mammals, as well as the exquisitely preserved fishes so common in the formation. In his study of this fauna, undertaken with Dr. Bobb Schaeffer, of the American Museum of Natural History, the three fossil genera of aphredoderid fishes are being compared in morphological detail with the living representatives of the family. In his study of the late Mesozoic origins of the teleostean fishes, the serial sectioning and enlarged wax reconstruction of the skull of a leptolepid fish from the Jurassic of Cuba is nearly complete. He completed a brief study on new Western Hemisphere occurrences of some pristid shark remains, and made considerable progress on the first adequate description of the genotypic Devonian arthrodire, Dinichthys herzeri. Research by visiting investigators.—Among the more than 750 researchers, students, and scientists using the national collections in the course of their work were the following: David Barnes, of the United States Geological Survey, spent several months. going over the mineral collections while investigating the luminescence of minerals in the infrared portion of the spectrum. Dr. Teng-Chien Yen, principal investigator for the Office of Naval Research, who has been studying fresh-water molluscan faunas of Mesozoic and Tertiary ages in the Rocky Mountain States, reports completion of several papers now in press. He spent 2 months in Wyoming and Montana collecting fossils. In his work Dr. Yen is placing special emphasis on the paleoecology of molluscan faunas. Dr. T. W. Amsden, John Hopkins University, started the study of the St. Clair Silurian brachiopods of Arkansas. Dr. Franco Rasetti, of the same university, borrowed specimens on several occasions and studied types at the Museum while preparing a monograph of the Cambrian trilobites from British Coloumbia, which is being published in the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Dr, Norman <<>> D. Newell, American Museum of Natural History, is monographing a large collection of Permian pelecypods belonging to the Museum. Dr. Harry B. Whittington is preparing a monograph on the silicified Ordovician trilobites collected by Dr. G. A. Cooper near Strasburg, Va. Dr. B. N. Cooper, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, completed his monograph on Ordovician trilobites started in 1946. Dr. H. V. Andersen, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, La., worked on Recent brackish-water Foraminifera in the Museum. Dr. Helen M. Muir-Wood, keeper of the brachiopods in the British Museum (Natural History), spent 4 months at the Museum. She is preparing a section on the productid brachiopods for the “Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology.” During her visit she and Dr. Cooper collaborated on three short papers. One of these cleared up a number of homonyms among the brachiopods, a second described an interesting and unusual African Jurassic brachiopod, and the third is to describe a number of new genera among the productid brachiopods. Dr. George Ubaghs, Liége, Belgium, and Dr. Herta S. Doreck, Stuttgart-Degerloch, Germany, studied crinoids in the Springer Collection for about 10 days in late April and early May. Dr. Irene Crespin, Bureau of Mineral Resources, Canberra, Australia, spent about 14 days studying Foraminifera. Dr. T. E. White, of the Smithsonian River Basin Surveys, made use of the collections of fossil vertebrate animals in his work on material collected from various reservoir areas, particularly of the Oligocene from the Three Forks region of Montana. Dr. Jean R. Hough, of the United States Geological Survey, also made extensive use of the collections in her study of Oligocene mammals. More than 30 other vertebrate paleontologists from other institutions in this country and abroad visited the National Museum to study specimens in connection with their researches. <<>> Department of Engineering and Industries (Frank A. TayLor, Head Curator) Noteworthy in the research work of the department were the completion by S. H. Oliver of his descriptive catalog of the cycle collection, Jacob Kainen’s paper on the halftone screen, the classification and documentation by William N. Watkins of a group of Guatemalan woods, and the reclassifying by Grace L. Rogers of the fiber collection. The new gallery for the display of special exhibits of photographs was practically completed, and new exhibits were installed in several sections. The start of construction of the three-floor storage facility in the southwest court of the Arts and Industries Building brings within sight a solution of the immediate storage problems of the divisions of the department, for it will relieve the exhibition halls of a large volume of material better suited for reference collections, and will clear the way for the improvement of exhibits and the better use of the public halls. Among the changes in staff during the year was the retirement of Fred C. Reed, associate curator of manufactures and of agricultural industries, after 28 years of service in the department. In his early years with the old division of mechanical technology, Mr. Reed performed skillful and ingenious work as a modelmaker and exhibits preparator. Later his efforts to organize the diverse mechanical collections and to house the reference collections of the division of engineering were very effective. His greatest interest was in the history of the mechanical hand crafts, of which he had a wide knowledge. In this connection he prepared several exhibits of crafts in the form of shops to show how much could be done with this type of exhibit in extremely limited space, and to suggest the effectiveness of a “street of shops” if the space should become available. Mr. Reed’s ability to recognize and identify tools, instruments, and machines, to define obscure trade terms and names, and to support this information with authority, was a valuable asset to the department. He was developing support for the improvement of the agricultural collections when the failure of his health necessitated his retirement. He retires with the satisfaction of having enjoyed a full, useful, and constructive museum career. <<>> Burlie Parks, museum aide in the Division of Crafts and Industries, retired because of physical disability, and William E. Bridges, museum aide, was promoted and transferred from the division of medicine and public health to fill the vacated position. Crafts and indusiries.—In two important accessions 345 authentic woods of Surinam were received in exchange from the Hout-Instituut, Netherlands, and 19 United States woods came from the State University of New York, College of Forestry, as an addition to the woods already presented under its open gift known as Wood Technology Project I. A collection of 407 wooden blocks used as braiding and embroidery patterns in the nineteenth century was received from Edna Plummer, and 15 coverlet drafts of the period 1831-1853, from Lelah Allison. E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., Inc., prepared and presented an exhibit showing the manufacture, properties, and versatility of nylon yarn. Mr. Reed selected 289 harness fittings from the shop of the late W. J. Moore, presented by Mrs. W. J. Moore. W. F. Jeffers presented 126 tools used in the same shop. Engineering.—The National Bureau of Standards transferred its collection of 155 pieces of historical electronics and electrical apparatus, including a radiosonde and a radiosonde re-emitter, identified as the first developed at the Bureau. Twenty-three early electrical measuring instruments representing European and American makers and including both power plant and laboratory instruments were presented by the Weston Electrical Instrument Corp. The American Screw Co. presented 13 inventors’ models and machines, representing the development of wood-screw-making machinery, that had been preserved by Dr. Philip Bishop and Clayton R. Burt, president of Potter & Johnston Co. Chandler Hovey presented a model of the International J class yacht Rainbow, which successfully defended the America’s Cup in 1934. Eight small scale models of early American automobiles were received from A. J. Koveleski and 12 hand-colored prints of similar subjects from Clarence P. Hornung. A Columbia bicycle of 1896, with nickel-plated frame, elaborately decorated with overlays of gold-plated leaves and gem stones, was presented by Col. N. J. Wiley. Robert B. Applebee and Ralph E. Cropley continued to add to the collection of photographs and notes on watercraft. Graphic arts.—The most important accession of the year was a gift by the Sun Chemical Corp., through the Lithographers National Association, of 23 prints from the Fuchs & Lang collection of historical <<>> lithographs, among which are works by Prout, Isabey, Ingres, Vernet, Daumier, Delacroix, Fantin-Latour, and Brangwyn. R. R. Donnelley & Sons Co. presented materials comprising a complete technical exhibit showing, step-by-step, the process of halftone reproduction. Also received was a collection of 71 fine pictorial photographs from members of the American Society of Photographic Art, representing work in control process printing by many noted photographers. A Cineograph motion picture projector made by the Sigmund Lubin Co. in 1907 was presented by Charles E. Milbourne, Jr., and Stanley A. Milbourne, through Mrs. Charles E. Milbourne in memory of her husband. Two prints by contemporary artists were purchased through the Dahlgreen Fund—‘Steam Shovel,” a wood engraving by Leopoldo Mendez of Mexico, and “Refuge,” by Seong Moy, an American artist of Chinese ancestry. Mendez, one of Mexico’s outstanding printmakers, used this print as a political cartoon to be reproduced in a newspaper. Seong Moy’s wood cut is a fine example of the recent practice of using heavy pigments in block printing. The exhibit of early spinning machinery was revised and the exhibits of weft dyeing and tied-dyed work were renovated and reinstalled. A display of Paisleys, the first of a number of special temporary exhibits of textiles, was set up. New exhibits of nylon and examples of the work of sewing machine attachments were installed. A small but effective display of the de Forest three-element electron tube was prepared and installed, and a similar one of early automobiles was arranged with the scale models and colored prints. Revision of the exhibits relating to phonographs was begun and the construction of panels in two exhibition cases was partially completed. The exhibit showing the development of the Giffard-Sellers steam injector was renovated. An atomic-energy exhibit to be prepared in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission is being planned. The new photographic print exhibition gallery was used for the first time in May, and is being completed by the installation of overhead lighting. The Eickemeyer and Petrocelli print collections were combined in a one-case exhibit on one side of the gallery. The annual International Photography-in-Science Competition, held jointly under the auspices of the Scientific Monthly, was displayed in the foyer of the Natural History Building, following which this collection of scientific photographs was sent on a Nation-wide tour to such institutions as the University of Tennessee, General Foods Corp., University of Florida, Northwestern University, New York State College of Forestry, Toma State College, and State Teachers College, Minn. <<>> This small exhibit, illustrating development of threeelement vacuum tube criginally patented by Lee H. de Forest, combines historic prototypes previously donated by the inventor with recently acquired material, and commemorates an important eyent in the Nation’s scientific and industrial progress. <<>> <<>> Mary Nimmo Moran Charles B.

Many early examples of offset printing have been gathered, and technical exhibits demonstrating step-by-step methods of production are nearing completion. Russell T. Limbach was commissioned to prepare an exhibit showing step-by-step methods used in preparing an artist’s lithograph. Eugene J. Fite, assistant curator, worked out most of the details of a series of traveling exhibits on the making of fine prints, having prepared copy for the entire exhibit, and blocks and plates for most of the print processes. Step-by-step photographs of methods are planned. During the year 24 special exhibits of the graphic arts and photography were held. The laboratories of the Divisions of Crafts and Industries, and Engineering, are better equipped than ever before. The stored collections are temporarily disarranged in part to clear the storage court for construction there. Thus, the modest amount of exhibition improvement accomplished is creditable in view of the work devoted to the rearrangement of collections by the aides. Work was revived on cutting woods for the study collections in the Division of Crafts and Industries, and 3,629 specimens were processed, including duplicates for distribution. Several automobiles, bicycles, and other large items in the engineering exhibits were repaired and extensive routine preservation was performed in applying insecticides and fungus-proofing, tightening and replacing parts of machines, making frames and fixtures, packing and wrapping specimens. Rearrangement and elimination of obsolete material provided additional storage space in the graphic arts reference collections. William N. Watkins, curator of crafts and industries, concluded his study and classification of a set of Guatemalan woods, and began a study of woods used in xylography to determine the species used and the date when a substitute for Turkish boxwood was first used. Microscopic identification has been made of some early Smithsonian engraving blocks of known date, and available history studied to detect discrepancies. The work is approximately half completed. <<>> Grace L. Rogers completed the classification of the textile fabrics in the reference collection of textiles and has started to classify the textile fibers and to produce a permanent microscope specimen of each. Revision of Smithsonian publication No. 3056, “The Servant in the House,” a historical study of the sewing machine by Dr. Frederick L. Lewton, long out of print but still much in demand, is about 40 percent completed. The investigation to determine the best methods for the care and preservation of old textiles is progressing slowly, owing to the meagerness of the information available. The study of the evolution of the farm tractor was stopped by the illness and later retirement of Fred C. Reed. S. H. Oliver completed his descriptive catalog of the cycle collection, to be issued as a Museum bulletin. Kenneth M. Perry continued his study of the early electrical measuring instruments in the collection and completed identification of a number of the instruments. The addition of 52 instruments to the collection in the last 2 years has increased greatly the scope of this study. Jacob Kainen, curator of graphic arts, studied early photomechanical printing in connection with his investigation of the origin and development of photomechanical halftone processes. The results of this work will eventually be combined with a descriptive catalog of the halftone collections in the Division of Graphic Arts. Alexander J. Wedderburn, associate curator, continued his detailed examination of the cameras and patent models in the collection and his study of patent specifications and histories, for the purpose of preparing a descriptive catalog of the still-photography equipment in the collections. Research by visiting investigators.—In addition to the use made of the collections by other Government agencies, 1,908 investigators, students, and writers found the collections and the assistance of the staff of value in the furtherance of their inquiries and research. Their activities ranged from the identification of old tools and machines, and the comparison of wood samples, to a systematic search for documentary material in the collections of engravings and photographs. <<>> Department of History | (MenpEL L. PETERsoN, Acting Head Curator) The comprehensive work of refurbishing the exhibition halls and storerooms was continued. Redecoration of the navy court was completed, important progress was made on the installation of the gold coins of the Straub Collection, and an outstanding gift of historical material received during the year, the Adams-Clement Collection of objects relating to the Adams family of Massachusetts, was placed on exhibit. ; Members of the staff published several articles, and submitted others for publication. Several major changes in the departmental staff occurred. Charles Carey, acting head curator, retired after 30 years of Government service. Mrs. Catherine L. Manning, assistant curator of philately, retired after 27 years in that division. Franklin R. Bruns, Jr., philatelic staff columnist for the New York World Telegram and Sun, was appointed to succeed Mrs. Manning. The most important collection received by the department during the past year, the gift of Miss Mary Louisa Adams Clement, was the Adams-Clement Collection of objects relating to the families of John Adams and John Quincy Adams. It represents six generations of the Adams family and contains costumes, jewelry, portraits, silverware, china, books, and papers. Among the last, many of which are unpublished, are letters from President John Adams; his wife, Abigail; President John Quincy Adams; and his wife, Louisa Catherine. A furnished miniature house showing the way of life of a large and affluent American family living in the period 1900-14 was presented to the Museum by Miss Faith Bradford. The house contains 23 rooms and is completely furnished with over 1,500 separate items. Received from the Commission on Renovation of the Executive Mansion were four mantels from the White House. It is proposed that they be used in period rooms to enhance the exhibition of the dresses of the First Ladies of the White House. The naval collections were increased by the receipt from the Department of the Navy of four scale models of United States naval vessels— <<>> the battleship Missouri, the cruiser Brooklyn of the Spanish-American War period, an LSM, and an LCI. The model of the Missouri, was built by Gibbs & Cox, naval architects of New York, and is one of the finest and most complete models ever built in this country. Also received from the Department of the Navy was a collection of 164 pieces of naval ordnance material, principally of the World War II period. Outstanding among the numismatic accessions were the medal press and tools used by Edward Stabler, die-sinker and seal engraver of Sandy Spring, Md., 1794-1883, the gift of Mrs. Maurice J. Stabler. His seals and presses for State and city governments, corporations, and courts of law were once widely circulated throughout the country. He also furnished the various departments of the national government at Washington, including the Smithsonian Institution, with seals. The medal collection was enhanced by the gift of Leander McCormick-Goodhart of 118 medals commemorating the victories of Admiral Edward Vernon in 1739-41. Paul A. Straub, continuing his interest in the growth of the national numismatic collections, added 25 gold and 7 silver coins to his collection, which came to the Museum in 1949, The regular programs of the Universal Postal Union and the United States Post Office Department increased the philatelic collections by some 900 specimens. The division of civil history installed the Adams-Clement Collection jointly with the National Collection of Fine Arts, to which the Adams family portraits had been given, and installed the Bradford miniature house in the west hall. The navy court was completely redecorated and fluorescent lighting installed. When the naval exhibit is completed, it will portray chronologically by means of models, prints, and other objects the historical development of the United States Navy from its earliest beginnings. The installation of the Paul A. Straub Collection of gold coins is virtually complete and the collection of 2,000 modern coins on loan from the American Numismatic Association was entirely relabeled and rearranged. The comprehensive program of overhauling exhibitions and storage areas, begun 2 years ago, was continued with the refinishing of exhibition cases, the, rearrangement of exhibition and storage specimens, the fumigating, cleaning, and coating of specimens. <<>> Miss Margaret Brown’s manuscript, “The Dresses of the First Ladies of the White House,” was accepted by the Smithsonian Institution for publication, and she began work on a revision of the “Catalog of Washington Relics in the National Museum,” which was published in 1915 and which is now out of print. Mendel L. Peterson, associate curator of the divisions of military and naval history, continued his investigations in little-explored fields of United States military and naval history. During the first 2 weeks of June 1951, he participated in an expedition that explored three historical shipwrecks on the Florida Keys. The wrecks, dating from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, yielded a collection of objects which will form the basis of special exhibits in the Museum and articles in naval history journals. He also published three papers during the year: “The Army Medal of Honor,” “U. S. Army Epaulettes 1814-72,” and “The Marine Corps Brevet Medal.” Stuart M. Mosher continued his studies on the specimens in the original mint collection. Franklin R. Bruns, Jr., has completed research on the stamp printing plates of Nicaragua, to be published in the Collectors Club Philatelist, and on the Matilda Newport issue and stampless covers on Liberia, to be published in the American Philatelist. Research by visiting investigaiors.—A_ substantial amount of aid was given outside investigators, of whom 1,771 consulted the collections. Outstanding among the research in the national collections was that carried on by Messrs. O’Cenesack and Buchanan, artists of the Office of the Quartermaster General, Department of the Army, who spent 214 months in the Department making water-color drawings of scarce United States Army uniforms and uniform accessories. The results of their work will be published as color prints by the Department of the Army. Miss Nancy Groves, graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, did special research in the collection of Quaker costumes in the custody of the division of civil history. Extensive research was conducted by Walter Breen, of New York City, on American coins in the national numismatic collection, and his findings are now being published in the numismatic journals. In addition, museums in Peru, Mexico, England, Sweden, and Canada were supplied with detailed information on practices of accessioning, cataloging, collating, and preserving specimens. The usual information services were extended by the department to other Government agencies during the year, including the Department of the Army; Department of the Navy; Post Office Department; Treasury Department, Bureau of the Mint; Federal Bureau of Investigation; Library of Congress; National Archives; Department of State; Department of Justice; Bureau of Engraving and Printing; and the National Park Service. <<>> Accessions During Fiscal Year 1950-51 (Except when otherwise indicated, the specimens were presented or were transferred, in accordance with law, by Bureaus of the Government) AxpsoTt, Dr. Donawp P., Pacific Grove,| AreHan Ministry or Mines, Kabul, Calif.: Approximately 500 copepods (190352).
