In this building, to be known as the Museum of History and Technology, it is proposed to house the collections now displayed in the Arts and Industries building of the U. S. National Museum. Introduction of these bills in Congress has served to focus attention on a need for building space that has grown increasingly and particularly acute in recent years. Long a concern of the Museum staff, this lack of space today places a heavy restriction on normal Museum activities and reduces the efficiency of the curators, who must often work under most onerous conditions. Two principal factors have brought about this situation—normal growth of the collections in the half-century since work started on the newest Museum building, and increased interest in and use of these invaluable collections by both scientists and the general public. Growing Museum reflects national progress Normal growth adds to the collections an average of about 450,000 items a year, nearly double the 250,000 a year added in the 1890's. This stepped-up rate of annual growth is to be expected. Ours is a growing country. Our economy is expanding continuously. Our technology has exploded into fields undreamed of when the Museum was founded almost a century ago. We are blessed with an active scientific community unceasingly pushing outward the frontiers of human knowledge. As a result, to our National Museum, by law designated official custodian of the national collections of “rocks, minerals, soils, fossils, and objects of natural history, archeology, and ethnology,” has come a flood of materials recording our progress in natural science, history, and technology. Such materials come as a matter of course from all other government agencies. Public-spirited individuals and organizations, recognizing the value of the Museum as a national repository, likewise present or bequeath their private collections of animals, plants, or other objects of scientific or historic <<>> y U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1954 importance. These gifts often represent a lifetime of painstaking research aimed at making the collection more useful to others. Limitations of space have forced the Museum to accept only a small portion of the valuable, often priceless, material offered the Nation— only a few of the most significant landmarks in this onward march of science and technology. Even so, in the past half-century these public collections have grown so greatly in size and scientific importance that they have made the U. S. National Museum one of the world’s principal museums, and they have become of such value to science that specialists from all parts of the world visit Washington to consult them. An idea of their magnitude and scope may be gained from the tabulation on page 138, which shows the distribution of the more than 85 million specimens that comprise them. Responsibilities of the Museum The Museum’s comprehensive collections of scientific and cultural materials are fundamental to a knowledge of the natural history of our globe—its physical resources, its inhabitants, and their works. This knowledge is an essential part of the education we demand for our young people. It is a weapon wielded daily in attacking and solving the problems of science, agriculture, and industry. Upon the increase and diffusion of this knowledge depend in no small measure our civilization and the well-being of the world’s rapidly increasing population. It is the primary function of a museum to preserve and make available to the public the materials upon which this knowledge is based and from which additional knowledge may be released through research. It is the function of the National Museum to organize its collections of materials representing the world of man and nature into a useful reference library of objects and information for the benefit of all. As the collections have grown in size and usefulness, scientists and the public alike have not failed to seize the opportunity to consult them in increasing numbers. This has both increased the duties of the staff and the need for space in which to carry on these added services. Thus, on an average weekday the National Museum and its staff are called upon to provide working space and other services to more than a hundred scientists and specialists whose official duties entitle them to fulltime use of the collections. On that same day another hundred or more can be expected to make temporary use of the collections or to consult the curators about them. All these, of course, are in addition to the thousands who daily study the exhibits in the public halls, (‘The total for last year was 3,262,150.) <<>> Increasing collections and decreasing space In modern museum practice only a relatively small number of items are selected for display at any one time in the public halls, which may occupy half or more of the total floor area of the museum. The remainder of the materials are arranged in study collections so that scientists, technologists, historians, can use them for reference, comparison, or research. Before these study collections can be used effectively it is necessary to have associated with them such essential facilities as offices and research laboratories for the staff and visiting specialists, libraries, workrooms for processing specimens, as well as shops for preparing exhibits, halls for special displays, lecture and study rooms for visiting groups (the National Museum is visited each year by school groups totaling many hundreds of thousands of students), and such other service facilities commonly found in any large public building. For all these purposes of exhibition and study the National Museum has less space than most of the comparable museums of the United States and Kurope. For some of the functions mentioned the Museum has no space or no facilities whatsoever, even though its growth has spread it through three buildings of the Smithsonian group. The most modern of these structures, the Natural History building, was designed in 1902 when the electric light had just come into general use—and when it was still the custom for a museum to place the greater part of its collections shelf-on-shelf in glass cases set in rows on the exhibition floor. The modest storage and working facilities thought adequate by the designers were overloaded less than a dozen years after the building was occupied in 1912. Through succeeding years normal growth of the collections has caused them to preempt exhibit halls, corridors, stair wells, office and laboratory rooms already too few and too small for the staff, and even the upper colonnades of the great rotunda, the attic, and the coalbin. At the same time several large halls and a number of offices have been occupied by the National Collection of Fine Arts—another bureau of the Smithsonian Institution—and the Smithsonian library. The “old” National Museum, the second of the three buildings, is now known as the Arts and Industries building. It was designed in 1876-79 and completed in 1881. Its construction was prompted by the need to provide an inexpensive exhibit hall for materials presented to the United States at the close of the Philadelphia Centennial. Its courts, with their narrow balconies, are open to the roof. It has no basement, and the limited number of rooms scattered through its towers and reached by narrow stairs must serve as offices, workrooms, and storage facilities. One gallery and most of the overhead <<>> space are occupied by the collections and offices of the National Air Museum, formerly a department of the National Museum but since 1945 a separate bureau of the Smithsonian. The third of these structures is the Smithsonian building itself, in which the National Museum began its life in the 1850’s as the Smithsonian Museum. A familiar landmark designed in 1846-49 and completed in 1855, it was once, after the Capitol itself, the most prominent building in the downtown area of Washington. It now houses the National Herbarium and some Museum exhibits, making it the second oldest museum building in continuous use as a museum in this country. — Progress being made An examination of these conditions as they affect the responsibilities of the Museum to science and to the public inescapable point to what must be done. The Congress has made possible a long forward step toward solving the problem by providing funds for renovating and modernizing exhibits that it has not been possible to change for 40 years and more. From this the public will soon begin to reap the benetit. Replacement of the outworn and inefficient Arts and Industries building will go far toward providing appropriate housing for a large part of these new exhibits. Modernization and expansion of the working parts of the Natural History building will complete the program by which the National Museum is in process of rehabilitating its physical plant. Funds Allotted From the funds appropriated by Congress to carry on the operations of the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus during the fiscal year 1954, the sum of $1,092,724 was allotted to the United States National Museum 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 (this amount includes sums expended for the new program of exhibits modernization). <<>> Exhibits Anthropology The modernization of Hall 23, “Highlights of Latin American Archeology,” was completed. This undertaking, begun in 1951, was directed and planned by Associate Curator Clifford Evans, with layout and design by Exhibits Specialist John E. Anglim. This new exhibit hall, a significant improvement over the previous arrangement, presents man’s cultural development from his earliest known beginnings in Latin America to the high civilizations of the Inca, Aztec, and Maya. The hall was officially opened with a special ceremony in recognition of Pan-American Day, April 14, 1954, attended by ambassadors and official delegates of the 21 American Republics of the Organization of American States. It was dedicated to the better understanding of nations through the dissemination of knowledge and an appreciation of the cultural heritage of various countries. ‘This represents the first permanent exhibit hall of the Natural History Building to be completely revised since the building was opened to the public in March 1910. The 30 new exhibit cases are arranged in alcoves corresponding to the following culture areas: Marginal, Tropical Forest, CircumCaribbean, Meso-American, and Andean. They show the advance of various cultures from the simple hunting, fishing, and gathering level of existence to the highly advanced societies practicing welldeveloped agriculture with complex social and political organizations and skilled technologies. The number of objects on display is limited. In each case is clearly developed an idea or theme which fits into the complete story of the history of past cultures of Latin America. Labels and explanatory details are kept at a minimum and are nontechnical. A master color scheme throughout each alcove and explained on maps unifies the related exhibits. Floor models of sculpture and architectural features are spotlighted. The thematic approach may be illustrated by the titles of the various exhibits in the alcove on Andean Culture Area, which include the following: The Development of Culture on the North Coast of Peru; Farming—the Foundation of Andean Culture; Inca Architecture; Peruvian Textiles; Products of Andean Craftsmen; Pottery Art of <<>> Ancient Peru; and the Northern and Southern Extremes of Andean Culture. ; The modernization of ethnology exhibits in Hall 11 advanced from the planning stage to actual construction of a series of ethnographical displays that range geographically from Tierra del Fuego to the American Southwest and interpret the native Indian cultures from these areas. Under the supervision of Associate Curator John C. Ewers construction began in May 1954, after the hall had been completely cleared of all the old exhibit materials and cases. Simultaneously previously planned new exhibit units were prepared and installed on panels by artists and special preparators under the supervision of John E. Anglim. Ten new wall-case exhibits interpreting the cultures of the Indians of California, the Navaho, and the Apache have been completed; others are in progress. A diorama, “The Lucayan Indians Discover Columbus,” to be used in Hall 11, was completed in the anthropological laboratory under the direction of A. J. Andrews. Another diorama portraying a ceremony in the subterranean Antelope Kiva of the Hopi Indians is in preparation by the museum laboratory of the National Park Service. The ten previously exhibited life-size plaster lay figure groups will be reconditioned and used in this new display. Plans call for the opening of this hall to the public during the first half of 1955. Plans have been approved for the construction of walls and exhibit units for a new exhibition in Hall 26. The general theme, as developed by Associate Curator C. Malcolm Watkins and John EK. Anglim, will be life in colonial America. An important acquisition for use in this hall was a paneled parlor from a tidewater Virginia house dating about 1760. The exhibits relating to physical anthropology were temporarily retired from public exhibition because of the modernization program. Some of the more important of these displays were added to those on the office and laboratory floor. In recognition of the continued public interest at home and abroad in the American Indian, various art galleries and museums requested and were provided with loan material for their special exhibitions on the way of life of the American Indian and his arts and crafts. Loans were made of paintings of Indian subjects by early nineteenth century American artists such as George Catlin, John Mix Stanley, Charles Bird King, H. Stieffel, and Gustavus Sohon, as well as the more recent painters, J. H. Sharp and Carl Moon. One significant loan of 27 paintings by George Catlin, made to the Department of State through the National Collection of Fine Arts, was exhibited <<>> EXHIBITS i in several museums and art galleries in Germany, France, and England. Other organizations in this country which borrowed various paintings were Ohio University, Joslyn Art Museum, Louisiana State Museum, and the Detroit Institute of Arts. The current practice of interpreting the material productions of nonliterate peoples in terms of the fine arts has brought numerous requests for the loan of selected ethnographical material for purpose of special exhibition. Thus, the Municipality of Buenos Aires, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the American University requested and received the loan of a considerable number of face masks, headdresses, and helmets. Zoology Considerable progress was made with the framing of the cases for the mammal groups to be installed along the east side of the North American mammal hall. Here are to be located four habitat groups: Alaskan wolf, Virginia deer, pronghorn antelope, and puma. The mounted animals for the first-named group are in preparation. For the other three the taxidermy is complete with accessories in part, as these sets are at present temporarily on display in another hall. All that is needed for their permanent installation are some additional groundwork, accessories, and painted backgrounds. Accessories for the wolf group are meanwhile being actively worked on. The first step toward modernization of the bird hall was taken with the removal of the former exhibition series so that the framework for the new cases could be put up. Materials and mounted specimens are at hand for these in part. So far completed are the birds and most of the accessories for the passenger pigeon group, the Carolina parakeet, hornbill, bowerbird, hoatzin, and palm chat, and the ostrich and honey-guide bird groups. An “Insect of the Month” exhibit was inaugurated in May with a case illustrating the life history of the clothes moth and its work of destruction. Geology Modernization of the geological exhibit halls has progressed to the preparation of plans and layouts of the proposed new displays of minerals, and of the fossil fish and amphibians. Steps to begin these installations, however, have been postponed pending a decision to construct a new floor over the dinosaur hall, a project which, if approved, would interfere with the new installations until the reconstruction is completed. Tentative plans have been made and layouts prepared 317706—b4—_—_2 <<>> for a hall of Mesozoic reptiles and of Tertiary mammals; plans are being considered for a hall or exhibit of Pleistocene mammals. The laboratory preparation of the material of the giant sloth, Megatherium, from Panama has been completed this year and will prove a spectacular addition to the exhibition series. It is planned to use this in the hall to be devoted to Pleistocene mammals. No changes have been made in the exhibits of mineralogy other than the replacement of specimens by finer material as it is received. Engineering and Industries Plans are complete cr in process for exhibits renovation in terms of entire halls for the following: Hall of health, hall of textiles, power hall, atomic energy, and graphic arts. These will be undertaken as the Museum’s exhibits renovation program reaches the several divisions. In the meantime much is being accomplished in all sections in the creation of new exhibits and improvement of the old. During the year, the first phase of the renovation of exhibits in the photography gallery was completed. Twenty new exhibits tracing the development of plate and film processes, the still camera, and the motion picture camera and projector were completed, covering such subjects as “Dry-Plate Photography,” “Milestones of Photography,” “Stereo Photography,” “The Magic Lantern,” and “Two Kinds of Sound.” In graphic arts, the history and technical principles of offset lithography are explained in six vertical panel displays and three flatcase exhibits which include scale models of offset printing presses. The exhibit contains the earliest known example of offset lithography and, by contrast, an explanation of modern six-color printing.

The titles are: “Devils, Drugs and Doctors,” an exhibit of medical superstition and quackery ; “The Body Becomes Transparent,” tracing the discovery and evolution of the use of the x-ray; “Let There Be No Pain,” describing the development of the use of surgical anesthesia; “Pioneers of American Medicine,” an exhibit of colored prints and portraits of American pioneer physicians; “The Art of Phlebotomy,” devoted to the history of blood-letting ; “Tools of the Surgeon,” an exhibit of surgical instruments from Pompeii to the 19th century; “Spectacles,” tracing the evolution of eye-wear; “Medicine Chests of the Physician, Traveler, iixplorer, and Soldier”; “William C. Gorgas, Physician and Sanitarian Who Made Possible the Building of the Panama Canal”; “Early Dentistry,” tracing the development of dentistry and dental instruments; “The Apothecary Jar and the Medicine Bottle,” devoted to the evolution of drug containers. All of these were prepared in the division. Exhibits prepared by others include: “The Development of the Stethoscope” and “The Evolution of the Microscope,” from the Medical Museum of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology; “The Story of the Hypodermic Syringe,” from Becton, Dickinson and Company ; “Do You Know Your Body 2” from the American Medical Association; “Medical Caricatures,” from the Army Medical Library; “The History of Medicine on Postage Stamps,” from Dr. Maurice J. Strauss; “The History of Pharmacy in Pictures,” from Parke, Davis & Company; “Vitamin B-12,” from Merck & Company; “The Manufacture of Medicines,” from the Upjohn Company. In the division of crafts and industries, the spotlighted display of the Scholfield wool-carding machine and a small brightly illustrated exhibit on wild silk are two of more than twelve cases revised or newly <<>> created during the year. The John Deere plow of 1838 was re-exhibited on a large panel with painted illustrations and text describing the importance and development of the steel plow. One unit picturing the increase in agricultural efficiency in terms of plow performance was added to the agricultural series. A colorful display was made of plant and insect specimens preserved in plastic by the Fessenden technique. A 27-year-old exhibit showing the soft-wood steam distillation process was brought up to date by the donor of the original display, the Hercules Powder Co. In the division of engineering a new exhibit of the air brake was received from the Westinghouse Air Brake Company and a marked improvement was made in the appearance of the old automobiles by fitting them with new reproductions of old tires, presented by Harvey S. Firestone, Jr. History The modernization of the exhibition of the collection of dresses of the First Ladies of the White House, given high priority in the Museum-wide modernization program, has started. Construction is moving forward on the series of eight period rooms from the White House in which the dresses will be displayed. Considerable work has been done preparing the museum specimens for exhibition in the hall. It has been necessary to refinish all the mannequins which display the dresses. The dresses have been improved with minor changes in installation, sewing repairs, cleaning, and pressing. Much of the furniture and accessories is undergoing cleaning and repairing. The dresses of the First Ladies were temporarily installed in the wall case in the North Hall and the period costumes collection and the collection of statuettes, “Living Hall of Washington, 1944,” were moved to the West Hall. Plans have been prepared for renovation of the exhibits in the West Hall, utilizing the cases and fixtures already installed. This plan, devised by Associate Curator Margaret Brown and Benjamin Lawless, exhibits worker, will be put into effect following the painting of the hall and the installation of new lighting fixtures, now in progress. During the year the case containing George Washington’s uniform and other personal effects was redesigned and lighted with fluorescent strips. ‘The United States Marine Corps is installing an important collection of materials relating to the history of their organization, among which is a series of arms noteworthy for its completeness and rarity, some of the pieces being unique. Half of the old hand-lettered labels in the Hall of Naval History were replaced by more legible printed labels that are expected to be insect proof. The interiors of the uniform cases of the West Gallery were altered <<>> to receive the exhibition series which is being reorganized. The uniforms will be shown on free standing supports. Much effort was devoted to the preparation of an exhibition, “History Under the Sea,” devoted to the underwater exploration program of the division of naval history. This exhibition will receive a special showing in the foyer of the Natural History Building July 20 to August 20, 1954, and later will form a permanent part of the exhibits of the Department of History. In the Coin Hall was installed a special exhibit case devoted to the stamping press, engraving tools, and medals of Edward Stabler, an early American die-sinker. These were a gift of Mrs. Maurice J. Stabler, Ashton, Md. During the year 25 additional display cases in the coin hall were equipped with shatter proof glass and burglar alarms. Thus, with the additional protection of 24 hours a day armed guard patrol, the exhibits are afforded maximum protection. In the philatelic exhibits four small cases were added to show selected postal history models and objects. End frames attached to the large stamp cabinets have been changed frequently during the year. The Ralph Cole airmail crash covers, on loan, were shown for several weeks, as was the Charles F. Bridgman x-ray photography material. On other occasions material from the division of philately was utilized, such as the Birth of Christ and the Crucifixion stories on stamps, presented by Philip H. Platzker; the Arthur F. Black collection of stamp printing types, received during the year as a gift; the Ernst Lowenstein Bolivia and Brazil airmail stamp donations, and outstanding large United States blocks from the national collection. The division of philately loaned portions of its stamp and postal history material for display in conjunction with the American Stamp Dealers’ Association exhibitions in New York and Chicago, and cooperated with the New York City Tercentenary Committee for its display in Federal Hall there. <<>> Accessions During the Fiscal Year 1954 During the year 632,243 specimens (less than half the number received last year) were added to the national collections and distributed among the six departments as follows: Anthropology, 22,816 ; zoology, 307,361; botany, 137,609; geology, 54,399; engineering and industries, 1,947; and history, 108,111. As indicated in the report for 1953, the unusual increase for that year in the number of specimens received was attributed to the receipt of a large number of small fossils. This year’s total represents more normally the number of specimens incorporated into the collections in a fiscal year. Most of the accessions were received as gifts from individuals or as transfers from Government departments and agencies, and the most important of these are summarized below. A full list of the donors is to be found on page 60. Anthropology An interesting accession of the past year was a charm necklace worn by the Piegan Indian Stabs-by-Mistake while engaged in horse stealing from neighboring tribes. Attached to this necklace was a pouch of pungent prairie clover, which was regarded by the Piegans as a potent talisman for obtaining horses. >> Department of Anthropology .......... 787, 973 ATCHEOLOBY: Miss) dtieth celia oy hah etken nas 543, 008 Bs Ganolo py: hee ata IAT aah eM cs 187, 453 Ceramics: estik: fb ee eA 9, 896 Musicalinstruments. ... . 2, 446 Period art and textiles... . 7, 930 Physical Anthropology ...... 37, 240 Department of Botany 27). see 2, 625, 384 Phanerogamsy.) 20 1600 A A 1, 714, 463 Grassesiene ae Bishi Ps MOT AS. ss 350, 101 INerns Fate Fi.)

Elbel; about 300 mammals obtained in North Borneo jointly by the U. S. Army Medical Research Unit and the British Colonial Office Medical Research Unit with the further cooperation of R. K. Elbel; and several lots of mammals from Formosa obtained by Dr. Donald J. Pletsch and medical units of the U. S. Navy. A gift of 186 specimens from the British Museum added several African and Asiatic species not previously represented in the collections. Noteworthy accessions from the continental United States include a fine series of New England mammals presented by Dr. Harold B. Hitchcock; specimens from Indiana presented by R. E. Mumford; and a collection of southwestern mammals presented by the School of Tropical and Preventive Medicine, Loma Linda, Calif. Mrs. Charles E. Ramsden’s gift of 1,773 skins, 75 skeletons, and 59 sets of eggs of birds from eastern Cuba, and the previous material from that country in the national collections, give the National Museum the largest and most complete lot of Cuban birds in any museum. The 1,802 skins, and other ornithological material collected for the Museum by Associate Curator H. G. Deignan from areas in Thailand not previously represented in the collections provide the data needed for the completion of his distributional check-list of the birds of the Indo-Chinese subregion. Donald W. Lamm made a notable addition to the earlier donations received from him from Mozambique, a further gift of 107 bird skins. In continuation of his survey of Panamanian ornithology, Dr. A. Wetmore contributed, through the Smithsonian, more than 1,200 bird skins and skeletons and 8 sets of eggs from areas in which he had not previously collected. With three transfers of material collected by Dr. Robert E. Kuntz of Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3, the Museum has come into the possession of probably the best representation of Egyptian reptiles and amphibians (1,042 specimens) in any North American institution. Particularly valuable are 126 Brazilian frogs given by Dr. C. F. Walker of the University of Michigan. An exchange with the University of Illinois arranged by Dr. Hobart M. Smith added to the national collections 56 specimens that included paratypes of 50 species of reptiles and amphibians. During the year the ichthyological collections were enhanced with the accession of a number of types among other valuable specimens of fish received as gifts, or by exchange, as follows: 4 holotypes and 2 <<>> paratypes from Dr. Giles W. Mead of Stanford University ; 2 holotypes and 2 paratypes from William C. Schroeder of the Museum of Comparative Zoology; holotype and paratypes of a new Scarus from the Galapagos Islands from Dr. Bruce W. Halstead, School of Tropical and Preventive Medicine, Loma Linda, Calif.; paratype of a Bermuda parrotfish from the Chicago Natural History Museum through Loren P. Woods; 3 paratypes of North American catfishes from Ralph Taylor, University of Michigan; 2 paratypes of Corydoras myersi from the University of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, through Dr. Paulo de Miranda Ribeiro; 2 paratypes of fresh-water fishes from Dr. Frank B. Cross, University of Kansas; and the holotype of a new paralepid from Drs. Oscar Sette and Robert Harry of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Several large and otherwise important collections also received during the year include the entire collection of foreign fishes belonging to the State University of Iowa, received through Dr. Walter Thietje, comprising 3,694 specimens collected largely in the course of the several university expeditions to various parts of the world by the late Prof. C. C. Nutting, long a collaborator of the Smithsonian Institution; 1,155 fishes from the Gaudalupe River, Tex., presented by Robert Kuehne of the State Fish Hatchery at San Marcos; 207 fishes from the Gulf of Mexico, collected by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Oregon, received through Stewart Springer in charge of the exploratory work; and the largest single accession of the year, 3,662 fishes collected in Egyptian waters by Dr. Robert E. Kuntz and members of the U. S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3. More than 100,000 mosquitoes collected in Thailand by the donors, Mrs. Ernestine Thurman and her late husband, Lt. Comdr. Deed Thurman, formed an extremely important accession, the largest of many years. Dr. A. E. Emerson of the University of Chicago contributed further valuable termite material consisting of 986 specimens. From Dr. Annette Braun of Cincinnati, Ohio, was received an unusual and very valuable gift of 440 specimens of the work or “mines” of identified leaf-mining insects mounted in 22 books. Other notable gifts were 3,758 beautifully prepared specimens of skippers and Microlepidoptera, received from Dr. Frank Morton Jones of Wilmington, Del.; 2,257 specimens of Microlepidoptera, from the late John L. Sperry, Riverside, Calif.; and a valuable series of 1,752 elaterid beetles selected from the J. A. Hyslop collection, from Helen Sollers, Washington, D. C. Not less than 310 type specimens of invertebrates, ranging from protozoans and sponges to branchiobdellid worms and crustaceans, as well as a species of tunicate, were received from the following donors: Dr. David Causey, University of Arkansas; Drs. Wesley R. Coe and <<>> Edward Brinton, Scripps Institution of Oceanography; Dr. M. W. de Laubenfels, Oregon State College; Dr. Edward Ferguson, Jr., South Carolina State Agricultural and Mechanical College; Dr. Horton H. Hobbs, Jr., University of Virginia; Dr. Perry C. Holt, East Tennessee State College; Dr. Arthur G. Humes, Boston University; Dr. Eugene N. Kozloff, Lewis and Clark College; Dr. N. T. Mattox, University of Southern California; Dr. George H. Penn, Tulane University; Dr. V. O. Sebastian, University of Madras; Dr. Willis L. Tressler, U.S. Navy Hydrographic Office; and Mrs. Mildred S. Wilson, Arctic Health Research Center. Some of the larger of the recent invertebrate accessions, which include a number of undescribed specimens, are: approximately 5,700 specimens of miscellaneous invertebrates from Ifaluk Atoll, Caroline Islands, received from the Pacific Science Board, National Research Council, through F. M. Bayer; 1,584 invertebrates, mostly crustaceans, from Arno Atoll, Marshall Islands, and Yap Island, Caroline Islands, received from Dr. Robert W. Hiatt, University of Hawaii; and more than 457 crustaceans and other invertebrates collected by the survey vessel Oregon in the Gulf of Mexico, received from the Fish and Wildlife Service through Stewart Springer. The Museum is indebted to the Pacific Science Board, through F’. M. Bayer, for approximately 2,000 specimens of marine mollusks from Ifaluk Atoll, Caroline Islands; to Dr. Robert W. Hiatt for 3,000 specimens from Yap Island, Caroline Islands, and Arno Atoll, Marshall Islands; to Dr. J. F. Gates Clarke for about 500 specimens of mollusks which he collected from Kusaie, Caroline Islands, and to Maj. R. Raven-Hart for 210 specimens from Yasawa Islands, Fiji Islands. Likewise, the Museum’s collection of Cuban shells is now unsurpassed by that of any other institution, for this year Mrs. Charles E. Ramsden, of Santiago de Cuba, turned over to the Smithsonian Institution her late husband’s collection totaling considerably more than 23,000 land snails from Oriente Province, Cuba, the largest collection of Cuban Jand shells to be added in the past 25 years. Sefiora Blanca de la Torre de Rosales, of Havana, also donated from the collection of land shells made by her husband, the late Dr. Carlos de la Torre, a significant part containing nearly 9,000 specimens and 81 cotypes. Other accessions of mollusks worthy of note included 170 specimens, principally marine mollusks, from Portuguese East Africa, an area hitherto unrepresented in the collection, donated by Frederico Marques Borges; approximately 6,000 specimens, largely land and fresh-water mollusks of Texas, a gift from C. D. Orchard; 111 Mexican land mollusks including 69 paratypes of eight new species described by H. A. Pilsbry, from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia; 9 specimens including 3 paratype lots of new species, <<>> from 8. S. Berry; and the holotype of the new species and genus of cephalopod, Pickfordiateuthis pulchella Voss, from Florida, from Gilbert L. Voss. As in past years the helminthological section of the division of mollusks received much type material, particularly with the collection of Acanthocephala and Trematoda gathered by the late Harley J. Van Cleave and received frem his estate. This is one of the world’s outstanding collections of these two groups. Other types of helminths received were the holotype of a new species of trematode, Paurorhynchus hiodontis, from Dr. E. KE. Dickerman; the holotype and allotype of a new nematode, Camallanus carangis, from Dr. Leland S. Olsen; and the holotypes of two parasitic worms, Gigantorhynchus ortizt Sarmiento and Lynwrufonema wilsoni Stough, from the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, through Dr. W. L. Threlkeld. Botany More than 30,000 specimens were collected for the Museum by staff members: 24,161 obtained in Fiji by Dr. A. C. Smith under a grant from the National Science Foundation; 1,143 from Tlaxcala and Michoacan, México, by Dr. Ernest R. Sohns, including a number of new or rare species; 2,/80 from southern Brazil by Dr. Lyman B. Smith in connection with his studies of bromeliads under the auspices of the Rockefeller Foundation, the Servigo Nacional de Malaria, and other Brazilian institutions; 1,400 from the Isle of Pines, Cuba, and 1,090 from Big Pine Key, Fla., by E. P. Killip in his intensive floristic studies; and 126 from the Ryukyu Islands by E. H. Walker. An interesting collection of 65,327 miscellaneous plants was received as a transfer from the herbarium of the National Arboretum. Also transferred by the Department of Agriculture were 7,280 plants collected by Richard Evans Schultes in the tropical forests of Colombia. An important collection of 893 plants of Iran, collected by Dr. K. H. Rechinger, and 187 ferns of Malaya, chiefly from Selangor, were purchased for the herbarium. Gifts, with names requested, included 1,056 plants of Tonga from Dr. T. H. Yuncker of DePauw University ; 433 plants of México from Prof. Eizi Matuda, México, D. F.; and 1,122 Virginia and West Virginia plants from H. A. Allard. Kay H. Beach presented 471 plants of southern Asia to the Museum. Among the numerous collections received in exchange were 2,505 plants from the Universitetets Botaniske Museum, Copenhagen; 870 plants of Haiti from the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Stockholm ; 688 plants of the Dominican Republic from the Arnold Arboretum; 548 plants of México from the University of Michigan; 391 plants of <<>> Australia from Cornell University; and 350 plants of Russia from the V. L. Komarov Botanical Institute, Academy of Sciences of the U.S. S. R., Leningrad. Geology Accessions for the year in the division of mineralogy and petrology contain an unusually large number of outstanding exhibition specimens. Added to the Roebling collection are two unusually rare and fine groups of large aquamarine crystals upon a matrix of crystallized albite, a fine flawless aquamarine crystal with many brilliant natural facets, and a large, flawless crystal of pale yellowish-green spodumene, the variety triphane, all from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A pendant of white opal with rich fire, weighing 155 carats, is an outstanding example of the quality of stone from Coober Pedy, Australia, and another, of black opal weighing 44 carats from Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, shows much of the red fire so desirable in this stone. A synthetic emerald crystal, weighing 1,014 carats, made in the laboratories of Carroll Chatham, San Francisco, is said to have taken two years to produce and to be the finest synthetic emerald crystal made. Also added to the Roebling gems is a 514-carat cut brown sphene from a newly discovered occurrence in Baja California. The Canfield collection was enriched by a suite of well-crystallized minerals from the lead-zinc mines of Trepca, Yugoslavia, and includes pyrrhotite, marmatite, arsenopyrite, and jamesonite. One of the finest groups of brown barite crystals from the well-known occurrence at Elk Creek, S. Dak., was also acquired. A thorianite crystal, about an inch cube, is unusual for its size. In accordance with the Museum’s aim to have examples of all mineral species, the following forms, previously unrepresented, were acquired : chinoite and callaghanite (gift of Dr. Carl W. Beck), bazzite and thoreaulite (gift of Dr. F. H. Pough), burbankite and calkinsite (gift of Dr. W. T. Pecora), and kobelite (gift of F. A. Rapp) ; basaluminite, hydrobasaluminite, cattierite, gunnbjarnite, iron-sericite, magnesium-sericite, metajarlite, osumilite, and weberite, received in exchange; reedmergnerite, faustite, and hummerite, transferred from the U. S. Geological Survey; and moraesite, tavorite, barbosalite, and ordonezite, described from Museum material. Many fine specimens were received as gifts. The finest crystal of the very rare mineral genthelvite was received from J. W. Adams. A rich mass of pitchblende from the famous Mi Vida mine was donated by the owner, Charles Steen; and a fine exhibition specimen of prehnite from a new Virginia locality was presented by Mr. and Mrs. John D. Atkins. <<>> A 5-carat brilliant-cut yellow sphene from Baja California and a 4514-carat morganite of unusual apricot color from Brazil were added to the Isaac Lea collection, through the Chamberlain fund. Dr. Stuart H. Perry continued his interest in the meteorite collections by a gift of three specimens of the Canyon Diablo, Ariz., iron, and a specimen of the newly discovered Tambo Quemade, Pert, meteorite. A particularly important gift is his collection of 2,000 carefully prepared and selected negatives of photomicrographs of meteoric iron. Desirable additions to the ore collections are gifts of selected suites of typical ores from Inspiration Consolidated Copper Co. (Inspiration, Ariz.), and Phelps Dodge Corp. (Bisbee District, Ariz.). Of more than usual interest is a representative set of rocks from the new Japanese voleano Syowa Sinzan, Hokkaido, received as an exchange from Prof. Kenzo Yagi of Tohoku University. Other important additions to the petrological collections were a series of rocks illustrating the petrology of the Hakone Mountains, Japan, as described by Prof. Hisashi Kuno, Tokyo University, and another of the Highwood Mountains, Mont., as described by Prof. Esper S. Larsen, Jr., Harvard University. Among the important accessions in invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany were collections made by members of the staff operating under the support of the Walcott fund. These collections include Cretaceous mollusks from Texas, by David Nicol; Paleozoic invertebrates from the vicinity of Cumberland, Md., by Dr. G. A. Cooper, Dr. Arthur Boucot, U. S. Geological Survey, and Roger Batten, Columbia University; Devonian invertebrate fossils obtained by Dr. Cooper in Michigan, Ontario, and New York, and a large collection of invertebrate fossils by Dr. Cooper and W. T. Allen in West Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Additions to the Springer collection include 369 echinoderms from the Pennsylvanian Francis shale of Oklahoma and 15 rare echinoderms from Devonian rocks of Ontario, Canada. Among important gifts from scientists and other private individuals, particular mention should be made of 150 specimens of Triassic fossils from Italy, received from Dr. Franco Rasetti; 400 Triassic fossils from Nevada, from Dr. J. Lee Adams; 500 Lower Cretaceous mollusks from Texas, from Carl R. Chelf; 150 late Miocene mollusks from Washington, from S. E. Crumb; and 300 Devonian fossils from New York, from Max J. Kopf. Transfers from other government agencies include the holotype of the rare trilobite Colpocoryphe exsul Whittington, and the rare trilobite Hoekaspis from Bolivia, as well as collections of Eocene radiolaria from Saipan, and of Cretaceous pelecypoda, received from the <<>> U. S. Geological Survey; and a lot of brachiopods, from the Fish and Wildlife Service. An outstanding collection of over 600 specimens of rare Paleocene and Eocene mammals was secured by Curator C. L. Gazin and Franklin L. Pearce in central and southwestern Wyoming during the past summer. Included in the collection are materials representing a variety of Paleocene mammals from a recently discovered locality in the Bison Basin of south-central Wyoming; special mention may be made of the skull of a large pantodont mammal new to science. Small collections were made from a number of other localities in the early Tertiary rocks of Wyoming. A collection representing a surprising variety of forms, and including in particular some beautifully preserved remains of Meniscotherium, was obtained from the Cathedral Bluff tongue of fluviatile deposits in the lower part of the important Green River oil shales. Of considerable scientific importance also is a collection of undistorted fossil fish made by a party under Dr. J. B. Reeside, Jr., of the U. S. Geological Survey, from the Cretaceous Mowry shale in Park County, Wyo. This collection was included among the recent transfers from the U. S. Geological Survey. The specimens were encountered in nodules and, being undistorted, lend themselves particularly to acetic acid treatment, revealing much of the detailed skull structure which it has not been possible to secure before. A highly important gift from the Walcott fund, secured through a purchase from Dr. J. Magruder Sullivan, formerly of Millsaps College, includes the type of the titanothere NVotiotitanops mississippiensis, from the Eocene Lisbon formation of Mississippi, and a described skull and jaws of the archaeocete whale Zygorhiza kochii, from the Upper Eocene Jackson formation of Mississippi. These were deposited on loan to the Nationai Museum for study several years ago and are significant in that the titanothere, in addition to being a type specimen, furnishes the only direct means of an age correlation between the marine gulf coast Eocene with the continental Eocene deposits of the Rocky Mountain region. The zeuglodont whale has furnished the first conclusive evidence of the replacement sequence of deciduous teeth by the permanent series in the order of whales. An important exchange resulted in securing a series of 22 specimens and casts of ostracoderms, or primitive jawless fish, from the Upper Silurian of Norway and Spitzbergen, obtained from the Paleontologisk Museum of Norway. This group was not previously represented in the collections of the U. S. National Museum. The skull and partial skeleton of a rare enbolomerous amphibian from the Pennsylvanian rocks of Ohio were recently given to the National Museum by the Ohio Geological Survey through State Geol <<>> ogist John H. Melvin. The specimen was collected by Russell J. Lehman and others in Jefferson County. The embolomeres are important as representing structurally the connecting link between the amphibians and cotylosaurs or stem reptiles. This is the first skull of this group of amphibians to be added to the national collections. A transfer of particular merit from the Smithsonian River Basin Surveys includes some 57 specimens of Oligocene mammals, mostly of rodents and other elements of the microfauna, secured by Dr. T. E. White from the Canyon Ferry Reservoir area in Montana. These add significantly to the growing collections made by the River Basin Surveys in its explorations and salvaging of scientific materials in areas to be flooded through dam construction. Exploration of the cliffs of the Chesapeake Bay have resulted in the finding of much material of scientific importance, representing for the most part cetaceans from the upper Miocene Calvert formation. Recent searches by Wallace L. Ashby of Springfield, Va., have resulted in the discovery of a well-preserved skull and mandibles of a longbeaked porpoise which he kindly presented to the Museum. A Ahabdosteus skull discovered by Roger L. Batten, of Columbia University, was collected by a party in which he was accompanied by Wallace Ashby, Dr. Remington Kellogg, and Dr. D. H. Dunkle. Engineering and Industries In 1793, at Newburyport, Mass., John and Arthur Scholfield, English mechanicians, constructed from memory a wool-carding machine which was the first of its type in America. This machine was presented to the national collections by Davis and Furber Machine Co. From William Young Patch, through Ruth Hawkes, was received the oldest sampler now in the permanent collections. It was made about 1740. Three large pieces of needlepoint made in the 1850’s were lent by Crystal Palmer. Scale models of a water-power grist mill, an oxpower cane mill, and a windmill-driven water lift for a salt works were presented by Daniel Thompson. These are operative models of installations formerly in use in Puerto Rico. Important additions to the wood collections included a group of 279 woods of Fiji collected by Dr. A. C. Smith of the Department of Botany; 124 woods from Japan, Thailand, Australia, and the Hong Kong market, presented by Col. Harold B. Donaldson; 86 native United States woods from the College of Forestry, State University of New York; 72 woods of Yucatan, the Marshall Islands, and other regions, transferred from the Forest Products Laboratory of the U. S. Department of Agriculture; and 29 woods, mostly of Guatemala, from Orville A. Oaks. <<>> J. W. Jones, inventor, presented an early automobile speedometer of his design. A schematic model of a gas-turbine, electric generating plant was presented by the Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co. Dr. Walter Cane presented a well-preserved example of the Mignon typewriter. Ralph E. Cropley continued to add to the collection of scrapbook data on watercraft history. A series of 17 chiaroscuro woodcuts by John Baptist Jackson was acquired as a purchase through the Dahlgreen fund. This set, published in Venice in 1754, represents the first attempt to reproduce paintings in the block print medium. Jackson was probably the most important man to work with block prints in color since the early 16th century. Thirteen woodcuts by the contemporary Israeli artists Jacob Pins, Mordechai Avniel, and Jakob Steinhardt were presented to the collections by local donors. Their subjects are views of Jerusalem and environs, native types, and subjects from the Old Testament. “Santa Clara Valley,” by Antonio Frasconi, was purchased through the Dahlgreen fund. Ten woodcuts by J. J. Lankes, one of the best known American engravers, were acquired as a gift from Harrison Elliott. “Tandscape,” an encaustic color etching by Milton Goldstein, was purchased through the Dahlgreen fund. Mr. Goldstein makes use of not colored waxes combined with glazes of transparent printing inks to achieve extremely rich color effects. Mrs. Thomas Armat presented a 17.5 mm. motion picture projector designed by her late husband for amateur use and made about 1916. ‘his machine has an intermittent movement quite different from the three previously attributed to Armat. The Eastman Kodak Co., through Keith Lewis, presented a Ciné Kodak Special IT 16 mm. motion picture camera, a Signet 35 mm. camera, one Brownie Hawkeye Flash Model camera, a Kodalite Flasholder and three supplementary lenses for the motion picture camera. “Bacterial Luminescence,” a photograph illustrating the use of photography in scientific investigation, was presented by the maker, Dr. Frank H. Johnson of Princeton University. This print won an honorable mention in the Color Division of the Second Annual Photography-in-Science Competition in 1948. Four pictorial photographic prints by Hans Marx were purchased through the Kickemeyer fund. Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, presented a specimen of the mold Penicillimm notatum; and the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology at the University of Oxford, through Dr. N. G. Heatley, donated two of the original porcelain culture vessels from which was prepared the first crystalline penicillin used in clinical studies. <<>> Lederle Laboratories, through F. L. Murphy, contributed a test tube of some of the original soil from which aureomycin was isolated and five petri dishes prepared by Dr. Duggar, the discoverer of aureomycin, showing Streptomyces aureofaciens tested against other microorganisms. Among the many other additions were three late nineteenth-century American nursing bottles from the Landmarks Society of Alexandria through the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Shop; a nineteenth-century Whitall-Tatum “Three Star” nursing bottle from Mrs. James E. Bowman; an 1880 tin nursing bottle with cork stopper by John Sanner of Mount Blanchard, Ohio, the gift of Mrs. W. E. Houck; and a silver nursing nipple of about 1850 presented by Ruth L. Meehan. A set of barber-dental-bloodletting instruments was donated by Mrs. Frank J. Selinger, Jr., in memory of her husband, through Mrs. Paul J. Selinger. The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Medical Museum, through Brig. Gen. Elbert Decoursey, lent nine replicas of Pompeiian surgical instruments; Mary K. Curtin added a set of surgical instruments used by Dr. George Taylor, of Baltimore, in the 1850's. The Sanborn Co., through James L. Jenks, Jr., contributed the electrocardiograph used for taking the first electrocardiogram of a white Beluga whale, and Dr. Paul Dudley White added the harpoon electrode which was used in these studies on the whale. The F. J. Stokes Machine Co. was responsible for locating a “rapidfire” suppository machine at the Jenkins Laboratories and a Eureka tablet machine at the Columbia University College of Pharmacy. The Norwich Pharmacal Co. contributed a gelatin pill coater which was used in 1885 and two early bottles of pills that were coated on this machine. >> the White House. It is anticipated that the dress will be placed on exhibition at the time of the opening of the new First Ladies Hall. She also gave the Museum the ecru lace dress she wore when she married Dwight D. Eisenhower on July 1, 1916. This wedding dress was a gift to the collection of American period costumes and it is a very good example of the styles being worn just before World War I. Specimens of furniture and room accessories have been received for use in the series of period rooms of the White House in which the dresses of the First Ladies will be displayed. Among generous donors of materials of this sort were Mr. Awbrey N. Shaw of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Mrs. W. Murray Crane of New York City. From William A. Hambley, Jr., of Washington, D. C., was received a large collection of German insignia of the period of World War II, including two complete uniforms, one of an “SS” officer. Received from H. W. Miller of the University of Michigan was a scale model of the “Paris Gun,” one of the so-called “Big Berthas” which shelled Paris during World War I. Mr. Miller is the author of an authoritative work on the gun. Two manuscript maps of the Civil War were received, one of Fort Fisher and another of Fort Clay, Lexington, Ky. James Waldo Fawcett, local columnist, donated a Russian automatic pistol captured from a North Korean during the hostilities there. An engraved powder horn of 1762 was presented by Mrs. Stella Crooks and Miss Ethel Crooks of Seattle, Wash. Engraved horns of the period of the French and Indian War are rare and very desirable. The numismatic accessions include an Indian peace medal of Andrew Johnson, dated 1865, in silver 214 inches in diameter. One of the few such pieces extant, it was presented by Miss Lucia K. Williams, Washington, D. C. From the Government of the British Empire was received a gift of three different medals of the Order of the British Empire, seven campaign stars, the Defense medal, and the War medal, all of World War II period. The Post Office Department continued to forward one specimen of each new stamp distributed by the Universal Postal Union, a total of 2,341 stamps being received as transfers. The Post Office also forwarded three specimens of each new United States stamp. A major philatelic addition came through the cooperation of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, T. Coleman Andrews. In March 57,955 U. S. revenue stamps, die proofs, and plate proofs were transferred to the national postage stamp collection. This transfer is of considerable importance and fills a large gap in the collection. Through the cooperation of the Secret Service, Department of the Treasury, an important accumulation of U. S. and foreign counter <<>> feits has been deposited with the Division of Philately. This material, comprising usually matched singles and blocks of four, was gathered by the late George d’Utassy. Gifts of major importance were also donated by John R. Boker, Jr., Ralph A. Schoenfeld, Ernst Lowenstein, Philip Ward, Jr., and Arthur F. Black. <<>> Care of Collections Trans- Gifts to fad Loaned for Submitted Erchanged educato other study to in- for with other tional Governvestigators Received in identifiIdentified _instituinstitument and instiDepartment accessions cation On request tions tions agencies tutions Anthropology.. 22,816 2,649 2,649 59 89 1 719 Zoology....... 307,361 64,086 57,934 20,887 11, 754 508 47, 022 Botany 137,609 15,429 13,738 3,025 1,894 ay lhe, ably Geology....... 54, 399 6,396 6,265 2,688 1,279 121 2,363 Engineering and Industries ... 1, 947 723 717 73 35 0 194 JEDKOIAS co b00c 108, 111 16,428 16, 420 2 1 5 = 8, 558 Toran... 632,243 105,711 97,723 26,734 15,052 638 76,268 Anthropology Except for the Mexican and Panamanian materials, the reorganization of the Latin American study collections in the division of archeology is now complete. It has been possible to find storage space for the new accessions made during the fiscal year, but the saturation point has been reached for certain areas. Owing to the modernization of exhibits in Hall 23 and the need to store specimens removed from this hall, little was accomplished on the long-term program of reworking and condensing the study collections of the various states in the North American archeological collections. Even though accessions in archeology increased 91 percent over last year, the collections in great measure have been accessioned and most of the specimens have also been cataloged and marked. There is need, however, for proper facilities for storage and preservation of the prehistoric Chilean and Peruvian textiles, and, in fact, the whole problem of storage is pressing, since it is no longer possible to keep related materials reasonably close to one another. Scattered storage increases custodial chores and complicates the task of finding specific items. Assistant Curator of Ethnology Robert A. Elder, Jr., has succeeded in developing considerable data on hitherto inadequately described specimens, many of which were received 50 to 75 years ago, and is <<>> continuing his program of eliminating from the collections those specimens of no further scientific or educational value. In addition to constructing the diorama, “The Lucayan Indians Discover Columbus,” Chief Preparator A. J. Andrews repaired and restored numerous artifacts for the various divisions, as well as three statues for the National Collection of Fine Arts. He also gave numerous visitors instructions in the making of casts and preservation of perishable objects. Loology The merger of the mammal collection of the Fish and Wildlife Service with that of the National Museum, initiated last year, is now about 15 percent complete. The skin and skull collections of the marsupials, insectivores, flying lemurs, and bats are completed and a beginning was made on the primates. Merging the collections of bird skins of these two agencies, started eleven years ago, was concluded this year. A new type of bracket for holding skulls with spreading horns and antlers has been designed to help solve the difficult problem of protecting and storing these easily damaged and space-consuming specimens. Also completed was the enlargement of the facilities for storing large tanned skins and the installation of the refrigerating equipment for their protection against various insect pests, but the skins removed to an adjacent room during the remodeling are yet to be replaced and the collection reorganized. A new system of labeling of trays and drawers in the mammal collection, obviating much handling of specimens and facilitating reference to them, has been installed in the merged portions of the collection and will be continued throughout. As time and opportunity allowed, the reidentifying and relabeling of all specimens in the bird collection was continued. For larger fish, and larger lots of fish, the 11 monel metal tanks _ furnished during the year released shelf space formerly occupied by 22 earthenware crocks, which do not hold up for long-time storage. In the insect collection, 50 drawers of Lepidoptera from the Smythe collection and 80 Schmitt boxes of miscellaneous Lepidoptera were incorporated in the National Museum collection. The neotropical Lycaenidae were completely rearranged by Associate Curator W. D. Field, while the staff otherwise fumigated and partly distributed a very large number of miscellaneous insects, chiefly Coleoptera that had accumulated over the years in the former curator’s office. All type specimens of crustaceans and echinoderms and most of the worm types were checked during the year. For more ready ref <<>> erence the collection of hydromedusae were rearranged in alphabetical order. The curatorial staff of the division of marine invertebrates continues to maintain the alcoholic echinoderm collections, which have been without an official curator since December 1950. For the first time in the history of the division of mollusks, the cephalopod collection of more than a thousand lots of specimens has been overhauled, relabeled, reorganized, and brought together in one place. Concomitantly, all unidentified cephalopod material was sorted largely to suborders and thus made more readily available to workers on this group. This praiseworthy task was accomplished last summer on a volunteer basis by Gilbert L. Voss, a member of the faculty and research staff of the Marine Laboratory of the University of Miami, assisted by W. J. Byas, museum aide. The physical condition of the slide and alcoholic collection of helminths housed and cared for by the Animal Disease and Parasite Branch, Agricultural Research Service, Beltsville, Md., continues good, but for want of the necessary assistance the greater part of two outstanding American parasitological collections still remain uncataloged: the Henry B. Ward collection, accessioned in 1946, and the George La Rue collection, accessioned in 1952. To the vertebrate divisions of the department the exhibits preparators again rendered many necessary services: skinning, scraping, and degreasing as required, and in part making up 10 mammal and 17 bird skins; mounting 2 birds, cleaning 170 skeletons and 1,537 skulls of mammals and birds, 5 turtle skeletons, and 2 reptile skulls; and blowing 12 crocodile eggs. Botany The completion of the new balcony over the east half of the herbarium has provided much needed space for expansion of the overcrowded collections. When additional cases are available, the herbarium can be rearranged, resulting in proper preservation of materials and more convenient working conditions. The major activities in caring for the permanent collections and the processing of new material are summarized in the following table: 1952-58 1968-54 Specimens mounted) saiiepeehi era tal ag ile: a Wee 34,616 35, 124 SPeClMeNnsTepAILed as hceile oneal eA Se lcia CN esate 4, 935 2, 410 Specimens stamped and recorded. ........ 36,655 37,338 Specimens incorporated in herbarium ....... 30,831 22, 937 Photographs mounted) ..isyeee miei Mtl Oe bea ie 1, 810 99 The number of types segregated from incoming material and the general herbarium was 463. The type herbarium now contains 54,393 types, including 38,357 phanerogams, 9,810 grasses, 3,197 ferns, and <<>> 3,029 cryptogams. Many cryptogam types remain in the general collections. Thirty-one publications were added to the Hitchcock and Chase Library, making a total of 7,049. The grass species index contains 78,870 entries, an increase of 442 during the year. Through the generosity of Mrs. Agnes Chase, a duplicate copy of the index is being prepared. Geology With the completion of the giant ground sloth material from Panama, the vertebrate paleontology laboratory was occupied with the preparation of the early Tertiary mammal material collected during the past field season, which is now completed, and the preparation of a large Devonian armored fish, which still requires completion. The new method of chemical etching of Jurassic fish and reptile material from Cuba, and Middle Cretaceous fishes from Wyoming, has been continued and is yielding good results. In the division of paleontology and paleobotany Robert Main, Museum aide, continued the organization, begun last year, of collections store in the attic, with the result that about one-quarter of the several thousand drawers have been recorded. Mr. Main has further taken over many of the tasks connected with the acid-etch laboratory to recover silicified fossils from limestone blocks. Associate Curator David Nicol sorted and prepared material collected by him and by Curator G. A. Cooper from the Cretaceous limestone near Whitney and Burnett, Tex., as well as Pennsylvanian collections in the recently acquired Renfro collection of Texas fossils. During most of the fiscal year Associate Curator A. R. Loeblich, Jr., was in Kurope. The month of June, after his return, was devoted to the unpacking and organizing of the extensive collections of foraminiferal material made during the year. In connection with his studies Curator G. A. Cooper found it necessary to make many intricate dissections and preparations of productid brachiopods, thereby greatly enhancing the study value of these collections. The revision of the brachiopod biological collections was continued, resulting in the gain of some space and better organization of the collection of punctate brachiopods. The interest of Dr. Serge Mamay, of the U. S. Geological Survey, in the organization of the Paleozoic plant collections has led to a gain in space and storage units for other parts of the collection. The division of mineraology and petrology began the use of polyethylene plastic bags for such minerals as are unstable in Washington’s humid climate. <<>> Engineering and Industries In the section of textiles 918 specimens of textile materials previously cataloged only in an old unworkable system were brought into the present series and cross-referenced. The entire reference collection of woods was transferred from makeshift storage in exhibition fixtures to standard quarter-units, permitting fumigation in place and the generally more efficient preservation of the collections. During the year, 850 uniform wood samples were cut and numbered. A large number of objects of the manufactures and agriculture reference collections were transferred to new equipment and permanent locations in the storage court. In the section of electricity the cataloging and organizing of the large collection of old electrical instruments is proceeding steadily. A major undertaking was completed in the cleaning and insect-proofing of the automobile and carriage collections. In graphic arts about 600 reproductions and prints of slight value were removed from the collections for condemnation and 150 prints were matted for preservation. Several hundred woodcuts and wood engravings were assembled from scattered locations and consolidated into one reference group. A similar number of new catalog cards were made. More than 1,000 photographic objects were removed from storage bases in exhibition fixtures and placed in standard storage cases in the storage court. Detailed plans for the improved storage of the photographic print collection in modern reference cabinets were drawn. Air conditioning equipment for the better preservation of this collection was purchased. In medicine and public health, students of the College of Pharmacy of Howard University are organizing the materia medica collection for efficient reference. Obsolete exhibition material from the old health exhibits has been separated for condemnation. History The problem of storing all the specimens removed from exhibition because of the work on the Costumes Hall has overshadowed other work on the preservation of the collections in the division of civil history. However, substantial work was done by Museum Aide Frank Klapthor, who spent much of his time on the preservation of specimens. He has cleaned, identified, and cataloged most of the silver from both the storage and exhibition collections. A new ventilating fan in the southwest tower storeroom of the divisions of military and naval history has lowered the temperature of the room in which specimens are stored. The patent office study collection of firearms was installed in a new line-up readily accessible to the office of military history. Segregation of the specialized col <<>> lections of the division was continued. Al heavy ordnance materials, machine guns, small arms, and miscellaneous military equipment now have distinctly separated storage areas. New stockbooks have been set up for part of the philatelic collections, and stamps have been grouped together from the many known sources. A definite start has been made in the equally important remounting program—linked with the renovation work in the West Hall, which necessitated temporarily closing off the stamp cabinets. The United States section has been removed from the display frames, checked for damage, and added to the newly set up United States stockbooks. Specimens have been checked for accuracy of classification, and have been rechecked by authorities such as Philip H. Ward, Jr., Lester G. Brookman, and John A. Fox. The entire United States section is in the process of being remounted on Scott National sheets, which are printed and therefore eliminate the time-consuming typing and adjusting of new pages. It is expected the sheets will make for greater compactness. To properly care for the reference collections and specialized gift collections, additional safe facilities have been secured. One small safe was exchanged for a larger unit, and three additional safes have been secured during the past year. <<>> Investigation and Research Anthropology In collaboration with Frederick D. McCarthy, curator of anthropology, Australian Museum, Sydney, the head curator, Frank M. Setzler, completed a manuscript, “The Archeology of Arnhem Land.” He also submitted for publication “Dermatoglyphics in Australian Aborigines,” in which he participated with Prof. Harold Cummins, Department of Anatomy, Tulane University. A third manuscript, analyzing the hair samples which the head curator collected in Australia, entitled “Hair of Australian Aborigines (Arnhem Land),” was prepared in collaboration with Prof. Mildred Trotter and Oliver H. Duggins, Department of Anatomy, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. These papers complete a portion of the work undertaken by Mr. Setzler as a member of Australian-American Expedition to Arnhem Land in 1948. At the request of the National Park Service, the head curator prepared an introduction to an archeological report analyzing the results of explorations of Mound C, Ocmulgee National Monument, at Macon, Ga., in which he described the archeological work undertaken by various governmental relief agencies such as the CWA, WPA and PWA. Physical Anihropology.—The curator of physical anthropology, Dr. T. Dale Stewart, spent most of September excavating part of a prehistoric Indian ossuary discovered on the farm of Mr. Bernward Juhle on Nanjemoy Creek, near Ironsides, Charles County, Md. Dr. Newman, associate curator, assisted in this work, and toward the end of the month, when Dr. Stewart was taken ill, finished removing the exposed skeletons. Later in the year, when the bones were cleaned, Dr. Stewart made a further sorting, looking for evidence of burial customs and signs of pathology. Further research upon this material must await the compiete excavation of the ossuary. Karly in the year the Memorial Division, Office of the Quartermaster General, requested Dr. Stewart’s services to study in Japan the skeletal remains of soldiers to be removed from North Korea, with the view of producing better information for the estimation of age from the skeleton. Dr. Stewart decided it would be profitable to <<>> examine the sternum for a sequence of age modifications. The results of the search among skeletons in the National Museum were embodied in a paper read at the annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists in Yellow Springs, Ohio, March 26-28. Subsequently this paper was expanded and submitted for publication in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology. The publication of a report by Robert Hanna, graduate student at the University of Chicago, who undertook a few years ago to sex some of the Museum’s Eskimo skeletons by means of a metrical device, the ischio-pubic index, stimulated Dr. Stewart to compare Hanna’s metrical determinations of sex with determinations by a simple inspectional method. His critique of these methods is to appear in a forthcoming issue of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology. As part of the study of the remains of two putatively ancient Americans—the Confins man, from Brazil, and a newly discovered skull from near Midland, Tex., found in association with Folsom artifacts—Dr. Stewart arranged to have samples of the human bone and associated animal bones tested for fluorine by Dr. F. J. McClure, National Institute of Dental Research. In both cases the associated animals are typical of the Pleistocene fauna, thereby a relative dating is yielded by the comparative amounts of fluorine in the bones. At the close of the year Dr. Stewart was in the process of interpreting the data. In general it can be said that the chemical and geological datings are in agreement. Associate Curator M. T. Newman completed a manuscript describing and analyzing a small lot of Indian skulls from newly discovered Archaic levels in Georgia. This work, which will be published in the Anthropological Papers of the Bureau of American Ethnology, is of importance primarily because it extends the range of an early Indian variety. Dr. Newman furthered but did not complete his research on the skeletal material recovered by the 1948 Arnhem Land expedition to Australia. He prepared a critical report entitled “The Physical Similarities of American Indians and Polynesians,” in which he appraises the morphological and blood group evidence which Heyerdahl used in his “American Indians in the Pacific.” The associate curator furthered the research leads developed in his recent paper on ecology as it relates to the American Indian. This work was summarized in a lecture, “The Application of Ecological Principles to Human Evolution and to the Origin of Modern Races,” given before the Paleontological Society of Washington. Archeology.—Curator Waldo R. Wedel submitted for publication his manuscript, “Observations on Some 19th Century Pottery Vessels from the Upper Missouri.” ‘This study deals with ceramics of the post-1800 period in North Dakota, a period from which almost noth <<>> ing has heretofore been recorded, since it lies between the better-known archeological complexes pre-dating the year 1800 and the ethnological records of reservation days following the Indian wars. Despite the common view that there was no pottery worthy of the name at this late date, some 25 specimens were traced down, in the national collections and in other institutions, that document the decline and final disappearance of the native potter’s art on the Upper Missouri. Dr. Wedel also added ethno-historic and other data to his manuscript on Kansas archeology, based on field work done in 1937-40; and has under way an intensive analysis of archeological materials from the Horner site, a 7,000-year-old camp site near Cody, Wyo., at which a joint Smithsonian Institution-Princeton University expedition excavated in 1952. Associate Curator Clifford Evans and his coworker, Dr. Betty J. Meggers, submitted for publication a monograph, “Archeological Investigations at the Mouth of the Amazon.” This large research report deals with the development of culture in the Lower Amazon, based upon field excavations undertaken in 1948-49, and is the first seientific study of this sort on the Amazon. Analysis of the archeological and ethnological collections obtained by Dr. Evans and Dr. Meggers in British Guiana in 1952-53 is in its preliminary stages. Examination of comparative materials from British Guiana collected in the early 1900’s was completed at the Peabody Museum, Harvard University, and the American Museum of Natural History, and partially completed at the University Museum, Philadelphia, Pa. Museum Aide George Metcalf completed a study of small sites in the Garrison Reservoir area in North Dakota, based on surveys and excavations made while he was with the Missouri River Basin Survey. This paper contributes detailed information on certain archeological features of an area about which practically nothing has been written by competent observers. Since the area involved is being flooded by the reservoir in the summer of 1954, it is likely that this paper is all that will appear in reference to the numerous Indian campsites, tipi rings, cairns, and other features with which the area abounds. Neil M. Judd, research associate, whose paper, “Material Culture of Pueblo Bonito,” is scheduled for publication in the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, made progress on his report of Pueblo del Arroyo. Completion of this will be materially expedited by a grant from the American Philosophical Society to cover certain technical aspects of the task. In recognition of his professional achievements in archeology, Mr. Judd was given the Franklin L. Burr award for 1954 by the National Geographic Society. <<>> Ethnology.—Curator H. W. Krieger continued his long-range study of material culture from the Antillean and Indonesian areas. Associate Curator John C. Ewers returned on July 11 from a 6weeks’ field investigation of the arts and crafts of the Assiniboin Indians of Fort Peck and Fort Belknap Reservations, Mont., where he obtained from elderly Indian informants and from practicing craftsmen and women information on the modification and disappearance ef traditional Assiniboin crafts during the Reservation period. During the year Mr. Ewers completed an illustrated manuscript, “Hair Pipes in Plains Indian Adornment: A Study in Indian and White Ingenuity,” the first of a series of projected studies of change and stability in Plains Indian costume. He also wrote two shorter papers, “The Indian Trade of the Upper Missouri before Lewis and Clark: An Interpretation,” and “The Bear Cult of the Assiniboin and Their Neighbors of the Northern Plains.” He cooperated with Karl Viktor Prinz zu Wied and Dr. Joseph Roeder in preparing the published catalog for the traveling exhibition of original drawings and water colors by Carl Bodmer executed in the years 1833-34, when the artist accompanied Prince Karl Viktor’s great granduncle, Maximilian Prinz zu Wied, to the Indian country of the Upper Missouri. In cooperation with Dr. Claude Schaeffer, Curator, Museum of the Plains Indian, Browning, Mont., Mr. Ewers began the editing of the Robert N. Wilson manuscript on the Blood Indians of Alberta, Canada. This early manuscript, owned by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, comprises the field notes and observations of Mr. Wilson, Blackfoot-speaking Indian trader among the Blood Indians in the early 1890’s, and contains a wealth of new material on the history and ethnology of that tribe. The publication will be enhanced by reproductions of Wilson’s own photographs taken in the Blood Indian camps. During the last half of the year Mr. Ewers served as senior editor of the Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences. Associate Curator C. Malcolm Watkins advanced his study of ceramics of the Virginia colony. Another week of field work was spent at the National Park Service laboratory in Jamestown, where he continued to examine and record pottery types found among the several thousand sherds stored there and to gather statistical information according to sites. Research by visiting investigators.—During the year 3,642 visitors conferred with members of the staff on anthropological problems; 3,399 letters were written, and 8,429 telephonic inquiries were answered. The study collections were used for research purposes by scholars from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, India, and West Germany. <<>> Zoology Mammals.—In continuation of his studies of the mammals of eastern Asia and the Australo-Pacific region, Dr. David H. Johnson, acting curator, devoted particular attention to the faunas of Korea, Siam, and North Borneo. He also issued a preliminary paper, dealing with a new marsupial, which will form a part of his general report of the mammals of Arnhem Land, northern Australia. Dr. Henry W. Setzer, associate curator, spent 6 weeks studying types and other significant specimens at the British Museum in furtherance of his studies of the mammals of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan for the U. S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3. Three preliminary papers based on specimens collected in that area were published, and the final report nearly completed. Charles O. Handley, Jr., associate curator, practically completed his revision of the big-eared bats (Corynorhinus and related genera) ; made preliminary studies of the mammals of South-West Africa; and reviewed taxonomic and distributional problems involving the Neotropical genera Caluromys, Didelphis, Philander, and Cyclopes. Birds.—The curator, Dr. Herbert Friedmann, revised his joint paper with Foster D. Smith on the birds of northeastern Venezuela, and contributed a revision of the classification of the honey-guides to a volume being printed by the Musée du Congo Belge in honor of Dr. Schouteden. Considerable work was also accomplished on the second volume of the “Birds of Mexico,” and on the fifth edition of the A. O. U. “Check List of North American Birds.” >> the extensive Panamanian and Colombian collections amassed during the past 15 years, and published four short papers. Reptiles.—Associate Curator Doris M. Cochran continued her research on the frogs of southwestern Brazil and her work on a supplement to “The Herpetology of Hispaniola.” Considerable progress was made on her catalog of types of reptiles and amphibians in the national collections. During the year she completed and submitted for publication a paper describing a new species of frog from Kartabo, British Guiana. Fishes.—Drs. Leonard P. Schultz and Ernest A. Lachner continued with the preparation of volume 2 of “The Fishes of the Marshall and Marianas Islands.” ‘This extensive work, undertaken in conjunction with the atom-bomb experiments, has occupied nearly all of the research time of the curator since January 1946 and of the associate curator since February 1949. Volume 1 appeared in December 1958. The second volume is 85 percent completed and involves 25 families, 103 genera, and 257 species. In addition, Dr. Schultz published three research papers, and two semipopular ones on aquarium fishes, besides completing a manuscript revising the parrotfishes (family Scaridae) of the world, and, jointly with H. A. Axelrod, a “Handbook of Tropical Aquarium Fishes.” Dr. Lachner also published two research papers and has in varying stages of completion three others, including a revision of the shark-sucker fishes (family Echeneidae), “Populations of the Berycoid Family Polymixidae”, and “Inquilinism and a New Record for Paramia bipunctata, a Cardinal Fish from the Red Sea.” Robert H. Kanazawa, biological aide, all but completed his revision of the conger eels before the close of the year. In mid-November Dr. Schultz addressed the Eighth Pacific Science Congress in Manila on a new approach to the distribution of fishes in the Indo-West Pacific area. Later that month he repeated in part the same address at the Indian Museum, Calcutta, in connection with a discussion of coral reef fishes of the tropical Indo-Pacific. Earlier he had delivered a lecture, “Exploring the Oceans,” at the Deverau Schools, Downing, Pa. Returning from Manila by way of Europe, Dr. Schultz spent several days at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, and the British Museum (Natural History), London, to examine types of Pacific parrotfishes. Dr, Lachner, in February, addressed the biology section of the Oceanographic Branch of the U. S. Hydrographic Office. Insects.—Acting Curator O. L. Cartwright devoted his research time to a revision of the genus Onthophagus in the United States, and of the genus Ataenius for the Western Hemisphere. Dr. Richard A. Blackwelder, associate curator, completed work on <<>> part 6 of Bulletin 185, “Checklist of the Coleopterous Insects of Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and South America.” Associate Curator William D. Field completed a redefinition of the genera “TZ’atochila,” “Phulia,’ “Piercolias,” and “Baltia,” with the description of some new and closely related genera and subgenera. Mr. Field also completed a revision of the genera Theochila and Tatochila, and embarked upon a revision of the genera Constachila, Phulis, Piercolias, and Baltia. Miss Grace Glance, associate curator, continued study of the Collembola and practically completed work on a very unusual isotomid. Miss Sophy Parfin completed her revision of Western Hemisphere spongilla-fiies (Neuroptera, Sisyridae) except for the addition of a newly acquired species from South America. Marine Invertebrates.—Curator F. A. Chace, Jr., completed the final draft of the chapter on the Crustacea Malacostraca for the revised edition of “Fresh-Water Biology” by Ward and Whipple, as well as manuscripts on some shrimps from the Marshall Islands, collected by expeditions sponsored by the U. S. Department of the Navy in 1946 and 1947, and a revised key to the subterranean shrimps of the Americas with descriptions of two new shrimps from subterranean waters of Florida and Mona Island, Puerto Rico. His study of the porcellanid crabs of West Africa is being continued. Associate Curator Il’. M. Bayer completed during the year three papers, one on the evolution and zoogeography of the octocorallian family Gorgoniidae; another on the alcyonarians and black corals of Rumphius’ “Herbarium Ambionense,” for a Rumphius memorial volume soon to be published in 'The Netherlands; and the third on the comparative anatomy of some gorgonaceans. He also nearly finished the section on the Octocorallia for the “Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology.” On September 1, 1953, Mr. Bayer departed from Washington to participate in a general ecological survey of Ifaluk Atoll in the Caroline Islands sponsored by the Pacific Science Board of the National Research Council. In addition to making extensive collections of marine invertebrates, which are indispensable to a thorough analysis of biological zonation patterns and the determination of zoogeographical relationships, Mr. Bayer compiled considerable information on biological associations at all levels from commensalism to parasitism. The role played by alcyonarian corals in reef formation was also investigated in order to compare it with corresponding conditions elsewhere. Of possibly more immediate practical importance was a survey of the utilization of invertebrate resources by the native population. The field aspects of the survey were completed on November 13, 1953, after a period of approximately 2 months spent on the atoll. Following the survey, Mr. Bayer spent about 7 weeks in Japan <<>> visiting museums, universities, and marine laboratories to study octocorallian material in those institutions and to survey the status of Japanese research in this field. During this visit, Mr. Bayer was granted an interview with the Emperor and arranged to work up some of the collections in the Biological Laboratory of the Imperial Household. C. R. Shoemaker, associate in zoology, virtually completed three studies: Notes on amphipods from the North Pacific and Arctic Oceans; the amphipods of Chesapeake Bay; and an extensive report on the amphipods of Point Barrow, Alaska. Mrs. M. 8. Wilson, collaborator in copepod Crustacea, nearly finished her manuscript on the calanoid copepods for the revised edition of “Fresh-Water Biology” and started an intensive study of the fresh-water harpacticoid copepods of western North America. With Dr. P. L. lg, she completed a manuscript on the family Clausiidae, an inadequately known and misinterpreted group of cyclopoid copepod parasites of annelids. Mrs. Wilson also found time to deliver two lectures, one on problems encountered in a zoogeographic study of fresh-water copepods, before the Fourth Alaskan Science Conference, October 1953, and the other on the taxonomy and distribution of fresh-water copepods, before the University of Washington School of Fisheries, February 1954. Austin H. Clark, associate in zoology, continued his studies, undertaken at the request of the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leyden, on the Ophiuroidea collected by the Snellius Expedition. His review of the echinoderm fauna of the Pacific Islands has also progressed. During the year 32 specialists in other institutions undertook to identify material of the various groups of invertebrates for which the Museum is financially unable to support specialists. Of the 61 shipments, involving more than 1,840 specimens, sent to these unofficial collaborators during the year, 28, covering more than 574 specimens, have already been returned. The specialists rendering this gratuitous service and the groups upon which they work are: Dr. Albert H. Banner: Snapping; Dr. Elisabeth Deichmann: Holothurishrimps. ans. Dr. A.

Tressler: Ostracod crustaceans. Mrs. Mildred S. Wilson: Copepod crustaceans. Mollusks.—Dr. Warald A. Rehder, curator of mollusks, made further progress with his revision of the superfamily Pyramidellacea for the “Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology” and a study of the rare deepwater genus Turcicula. Dr. Joseph P. E. Morrison, associate curator, continued his studies cn the families Hydrobiidae, Ellobiidae, Cyclophoridae, and Amphicyclotidae of America, and on the Conidae of Bikini. R. Tucker Abbott, associate curator, continued his studies on certain pelagic snails of the Gulf of Mexico, and on the Synceridae of the western Pacific. His “American Seashells” was published during the year in the Van Nostrand New Illustrated Naturalist series. Dr. Paul Bartsch, associate in mollusks, completed his report on the Pyramidellidae of the Pliocene of North St. Petersburg, Fla., and submitted the manuscript for publication. Research by visiting investigators.—In addition to investigations from government agencies located in the Washington area, more than 273 professional biologists and students with an interest in systematic biology paid one or more visits to the offices and laboratories of the department, some staying for a considerable time. Among the foreign visitors were the following: Salim Ali, Bombay, India: Indian birds. Miss Helen Rost, Tromsg Museum, Troms¢, Norway: Marine fishes (family Gempylidae). Miss Mary Samuel, Central Fisheries Research Station, India: Elasmobranch fishes. Dr. R. G. Fennah, Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture of Trinidad: Fulgoroidea. Miss Ailsa M. Clark, British Museum (Natural History), London, England: Asteroidea. Dr. T. Soot-Ryen, Troms¢ Museum, Troms¢, Norway: Marine mollusks of Chile, and various pelecypod groups. Dr. Jay G. Marks, Creole Petroleum Corporation, Caracas, Venezuela: Marine , mollusks of Venezuela. Donald F. McMichael, Australian Museum, Sydney, New South Wales; Fresh_water mussels (Mutelidae) of Australia, <<>> INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH Al Botany Phanerogams.—Dr. A. C. Smith, curator, pursued field studies in Fiji, with the aid of a grant from the National Science Foundation. Arriving in Suva on March 29, 1953, Dr. Smith carried out his plans by visiting various parts of the islands of Viti Levu, Ovalau, Ngau, and Taveuni. Historic type localities were visited, but most areas explored had not been previously botanized. The total number of herbarium specimens obtained was 24,158, representing 2,700 different numbers. In addition, many photographs were taken, samples for morphological and genetic study were prepared in liquid, 279 supporting wood samples were taken, and zoological material representing mammals, insects, fresh-water snails, and prawns was collected. The major geographical objectives were reached, and it is expected that the botanical material, which is now in the Museum, when added to that of Dr. Smith’s two earlier Fijian trips will permit him to proceed with the preparation of a definitive Flora. He left Suva on January 7, 1954, and returned to Washington on January 30, stopping en route at various institutions. Dr. Lyman B. Smith, associate curator, continued work on separate accounts of the Bromeliaceae of Colombia and Bolivia. He completed his study of the 570 species representing this family in Brazil, undertaken in collaboration with the Rockefeller Foundation and the Servico Nacional de Malaria. He also collaborated with Dr. Bernice G. Schubert in the location, collection, and identification of plant material for analysis by the National Heart Institute. Associate Curator E. H. Walker submitted for publication several papers dealing with the vegetation, botanical literature, and the Myrsinaceae of the Ryukyu Islands. He is continuing his studies of Ryukyu plants as new material is received. Progress was made in his studies of the Myrsinaceae of the Philippine Islands, and in his revision of the genus Corylopsis. He attended the Eighth Pacific Science Congress in Manila, making collections of herbarium material on Luzon Island in the Philippines, and in Hawaii, Johnston Island, Guam, and Okinawa en route. Collections made on Okinawa will supplement those obtained by him in 1951. Associate Curator E. C. Leonard is concluding his work on Part III of the Colombian Acanthaceae. Study of 126 species of this part has been completed and comparatively few remain. In addition, he has made progress on his study of the Acanthaceae of Argentina by work on the genus Ruellia, has worked on Cyperus for his proposed Hispaniola Flora, and has collaborated with Dr. H. A. Allard in a continuing study of the plants of the Potomac-Virginia Triassic region. <<>> Dr. Velva E. Rudd, assistant curator, completed and submitted for publication a review of the leguminous genus Centrolobiwm, and progressed with her revision of the subtribe Aeschynomeninae, of the same family. An invitation paper on the contribution of Lewis and Clark to botany is being prepared at the request of the Washington Academy of Sciences. In June 1953 she made a small but general collection of plants in the northwestern portion of New York State, while participating in the field meetings of the Northeastern Section of the Botanical Society of America. Mr. E. P. Killip, research associate, continued his collecting in Florida and Cuba on behalf of the Museum, devoting particular attention to phanerogams. Grasses.—Curator Jason R. Swallen continued his research on the grasses of southern Brazil. The work accomplished consisted primarily of the identification of his collections made several years ago. Dr. Ernest R. Sohns, associate curator, published two papers, one on the monotypic genus Chaboissaea of México and the other on the floral morphology of four species of Setaria. He spent four weeks in the States of Tlaxcala and Michoacan, México, studying and collecting grasses in connection with his long-term project on the grasses of México. Nearly 1,200 specimens were collected, including many extending the known ranges, several rare species, and some new to science. Mrs. Agnes Chase, research associate, began the important task of editing and verifying the entries in the grass species index prior to having a duplicate index prepared. This index, started over 60 years ago and containing approximately 80,000 entries, is the only one of its kind in the world. In addition, she continued her bibliographic work on the grass genera of the world, as well as her studies on the genus Paspalum of Brazil. Dr. F. A. McClure, research associate, spent several weeks in Latin America in connection with his experimental work on the cultivation of bamboos. He attended the Eighth Pacific Science Congress in Manila, and assisted in starting a bamboo garden there. He also visited Hong Kong, Indochina, and Pakistan. In the latter countries he acted as consultant in connection with bamboos used in the manufacture of paper. Ferns.—Curator C. V. Morton continued his work on the ferns of Central America, and on other manuscripts, in preparation for a trip to Europe. He spent the last three months of the year in Europe, as a fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, studying fern specimens and photographing fern types in various herbaria. This work will materially advance the preparation of the contemplated fern floras of Honduras and Guatemala and render them more accurate and definitive. <<>> As a member of the International Committee for the Nomenclature of Phanerogamae and Pteridophyta, he spent some time in work on conserved names. A number of short papers were written for publication in the American Fern Journal, and a general acvount of ferns and fern-allies was written for the Encyclopedia Americana. He also completed a treatment of the family Gesnerlaceae of Trinidad and Tobago for publication in a flora of this area. In August and September, Mr. Morton participated in the summer field trips of the American Fern Society in New York, Quebec, and Michigan, and attended the annual meetings of the American Institute of Biological Sciences at Madison, Wis. Cry ptogams.—Paul Conger, associate curator, completed his studies on a new genus and species of plankton diatom from the Florida Straits. The manuscript is in the course of publication in the Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections. He continued his research on the diatom flora and ecology of Chincoteague Bay, Md., and began work on a revision of the genus Grammatophora. He presented three papers at the meetings of the American Institute of Biological Sciences: “Unique Features of the Diatom Ecology of Chincoteague Bay, Maryland,” before the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography ; and “Diatoms as Tracer Material in Criminological Technique: An Instance of Applied Phycology,” and “Representative Types of Diatom Teratology, and their Interpretation,” before the Phycological Society of America. Two manuscripts on diatoms were critically reviewed, and the article on diatoms in the Encyclopedia Americana was completely revised and rewritten on request of the editor. Research by visiting investigators.—Dr. Alicia Lourteig, of the Fundacién Miguel Lillo, Tucuman, Argentina, after spending several months studying the phanerogam collections, completed her work and left at the end of July 1953. Dr. Kittie F. Parker, formerly of the Dniversity of Arizona and now resident in the Washington area, is actively engaged in research based on the Museum’s collections of Compositae. Mr. George Black, of the Instituto Agronémico do Norte, Belém, Brazil, continued his research work on the revision of the genus Avonopus. He left for Brazil in May, expecting to return in the fall of 1955 to complete his studies. Ali al-Rawi, Ministry of Agriculture, Iraq, and Rama Rao Panjee, Sugarcane Breeding Institute, Coimbatore, India, Point-IV trainees, spent short periods at the herbarium as part of their training program in grass taxonomy. About 600 persons visited the department, including a number from foreign countries. The collections continue to be consulted by staff members of other Government agencies, including the Department of Agriculture, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Geological Survey. Sixteen informal loans totaling 642 specimens were made to the Department of Agriculture and the National Geographic Society. <<>> Geology Mineralogy and peirology.—A study of the mineralogical nature of Meso-American archeological jades by the curator, W. F. Foshag, undertaken in cooperation with the Instituto de Antropologia e Historia of Guatemala was completed and the report prepared for publication. It was found that three types of jade minerals were used extensively by the indigenous cultures of Guatemala—jadeite, diopsidejadeite, and chloromelanite, and that the use of jade reaches back into the earliest known cultures of the region. The first discovery of a natural occurrence of jadeite in Guatemala led to further investigations of this interesting subject. The occurrence of jadeite in MesoAmerica is of great interest to the archeologist. With the completion of the history and development of Paricutin Volcano, attention is now being given to the petrology and chemistry of its lavas. Results of the chemical studies show a remarkable change in the composition of the lavas. Dr. Foshag received the Roebling Medal of the Mineralogical Society of America. He continued, during the year, as president of the Section of Volcanology of the American Geophysical Union. Associate Curator E. P. Henderson, in collaboration with Associate in Mineralogy S. H. Perry, completed a study of the relationship of the density of meteoric irons to chemical composition; the study showed that it is possible to calculate density from chemical composition, and by this means evaluate the reliability of old analyses. During the year Mr. Henderson acted as councilor of the Meteoritical Society and as a member of the advisory committee for the Bibliography on Meteorites, a monumental work published by the University of Chicago. Associate Curator George Switzer prepared his annual review of the diamond industry and the gem stone chapter of the Minerals Yearbook of the U. S. Bureau of Mines. These annual reviews are considered authoritative summaries that prove useful to various government agencies and the trade. He also completed studies on ordofiezite, a new zinc antimonate from México; on mosesite, a new type of mineral compound, also from México; and on two rare and imperfectly known beryllium minerals, bavenite and bityite. In connection with a report or uranium minerals, in preparation for the U. S. Geological Survey, he undertook a short field trip to Colorado and Utah to observe certain features of the Colorado Plateau uranium province. During the year he continued as consultant mineralogist for the U. S. Bureau of Mines. Dr. John P. Marble, associate in mineralogy, continued his investigations on the absolute measurement of geologic time. As chairman of the Committee on the Measurement of Geologic Time, of the Na <<>> tional Research Council, he prepared the annual report of the committee. This valuable annual summary on the advances in geochronology also contains a comprehensive annotated bibliography. Dr. Marble acted as general secretary, as well as chairman of the editorial and publication committee, of the American Geophysical Union. Vertebrate paleontology.—Curator C. L. Gazin has been engaged in the study of the upper Eocene artiodactyls, or even-toed ungulates, of North America. During upper Hocene time several of the more modern families of artiodactyls became differentiated from earlier, more primitive stock. This investigation will include a review and revision involving all known forms. Much of this study will be based on the excellent collections secured by the curator in 1938. Collections from a newly discovered locality for middle and early upper Paleocene mammals in the Bison Basin in south-central Wyoming are also under study. A number of new species are included in the collection. Dr. Gazin, assisted by Mr. Franklin L. Pearce, carried on field work in various known Paleocene and Eocene localities in central and southwestern Wyoming. Particular success was achieved in the Paleocene beds in the Bison Basin, in the late Wasatchian and lower Eocene of the Washakie Basin, and in the Green River Basin. The discovery of Paleocene mammals in the Fossil Basin, near Fossil Station, Wyo., jends impetus to further collecting in this area during the coming field season. Prior to the close of the fiscal year, the curator, again accompanied by Mr. Pearce, left for a short field season of collecting in Paleocene and lower Eocene occurrences in Wyoming. At the close of the past field season, the curator attended a field conference of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, held in the Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah, after which he conducted an excursion to the Dragon Paleocene exposures in the Wasatch Plateau of central Utah. In connection with his studies on upper Eocene artiodactyls, Dr. Gazin visited the collections at Princeton, Yale, and Harvard Universities, and the American Museum of Natural History. He acted as chairman of the Eocene subcommittee of the committee preparing a new “Nomenclature and Correlation of the North American Tertiary.” The research program of Associate Curator David Dunkle includes a study of the fossil fish fauna of the Green River formation undertaken in collaboration with Dr. Bobb Schaeffer, of the American Museum of Natural History. Because of the large series of complete and beautifully preserved specimens available, this fauna is well suited not <<>> only for morphological studies but ecological analyses as well. Perhaps the greatest gap in the entire field of vertebrate paleontology is the late Mesozoic development of holostean ray-finned fishes into the descendent Tertiary Teleostei. This is the second long-range project to engage Dr. Dunkle’s attention. A study of a unique paleoniscoid fish from Lower Permian strata of Sad Paulo, Brazil, was completed, and new occurrences of PermoCarboniferous fishes from various occurrences in the same country were recorded. The study of an embolomerous amphibian skull received from the Ohio Geological Survey is also under way. Two visits to the American Museum of Natural History were made by Dr. Dunkle in connection with his studies on late Paleozoic fishes, and he represented the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in the Division of Geology and Geography of the National Research Council. Invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany.—Curator G. A. Cooper submitted for publication his monographic study on Chazyan and related brachiopods, in which are described 150 genera and 925 species of these animals. A new work, carried forward in collaboration with Dr. H. M. Muir-Wood of the British Museum, is a generic revision of the productid brachiopods, in which descriptions of about 150 genera and 127 plates were prepared. In addition, 2 new genera and 6 species of brachiopods from Cuba, and 9 new genera and 6 new species of other brachiopods were described. Dr. Cooper engaged in several field explorations during the year. Early in the fiscal year, accompanied by William Allen, aide, and F. G. Stehli, California Institute of Technology, he collected silicified Permian fossils in West Texas, as well as other material at Carlsbad, N. Mex., and in Oklahoma. In October, with Dr. Muir-Wood, he visited rich collecting grounds at Alpena, Mich., Thedford, Ontario, and other localities. Associate Curator A. R. Loeblich, Jr., working in collaboration with Helen Tappan Loeblich, continued his studies on a revision of the genera of Foraminifera, basing his examinations upon types in European museums. Four months were spent at the British Museum and two at the Bureau des Recherches Géologiques et Géophysiques, Paris. During his sojourn in Europe, Dr. Loeblich collected topotypes of Foraminifera at classic localities in England, Scotland, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Germany and Austria. About 12 tons of foraminiferal samples were collected during these explorations. Various pelecypod genera occupied the interest of Associate Curator David Nicol. He has completed morphological and ecological studies on the genera Astartella and Conocardium. In October Dr. Nicol was detailed to collect Cretaceous fossils exposed in excavations for the Lake Whitney Dam, Tex., where many fine specimens, especially of the smaller pelecypods, were obtained. <<>> The generic revision of the Bryozoa, both fossil and Recent, prepared by Research Associate R. S. Bassler, was published during the year as a part of the “Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology.” Several thousand genera are characterized and illustrated. Dr. Bassler is now bringing to completion his monograph on Ordovician cystids, a complicated group of echinoderms, based largely upon the Springer collection, of the U. S. National Museum. Research Associate J. Brookes Knight, assisted by Ellis Yochelson, U.S. Geological Survey, and Roger Batten, Columbia University, devoted his time to a compilation and characterization of the genera of Paleozoic gastropods for the “Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology.” Research by outside investigators.—Materials for research purposes were furnished by the division of mineralogy and petrology to Allied Chemical and Dye Corporation, Army Engineers, Columbia University, General Electric Company, Geophysical Laboratory, Gulf Research and Development Company, Harvard University (2), Institute for Nuclear Physics, Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (3), Museu Nacional Quinta da Boa Vista (Brazil), Naval Gun Factory, New York University (2), Outokumpu Oy (Finland), Pennsylvania State College (4), Portland Cement Association, Shell Development Company (2), U. S. Geological Survey (22), Université de Montpellier (France), University of Chicago (8), University of Helsinki (Finland), University of Illinois, University of Paris (France), and Yale University. Nine papers in mineralogical literature, published by outside investigators, were based wholly or in part on materials furnished by the U. S. National Museum. As in the past, investigators outside the government have assisted the division of invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany with descriptions of fossils, and have themselves received much help from the staff and collections. Some of these investigators have been working with the division for several years, including: Dr. T. W. Amsden, Johns Hopkins University, is studying a collection of Silurian (St. Clair) brachiopods from Arkansas; Dr. Franco Rasetti of the same university continued his studies of Cambrian fossils and is a frequent visitor to the laboratories; Dr. Norman D. Newell, American Museum of Natural History, is monographing a large collection of silicified Permian pelecypods from West Texas belonging to the National Museum; Dr. Harry B. Whittington, Harvard University, completed (with Dr. William Evitt of Rochester University) a study of Virginia silicified trilobites and is now busy with studies of other family groups represented in the same materials; Drs. John Hoskins of Cincinnati University and Auriel T. Cross of the West Virginia Geological Survey completed their studies of a large collection of <<>> Lower Mississippian plants from Kentucky ; Mr. Roger Batten, graduate student of Columbia University, is collaborating with Dr. Knight on Permian gastropod studies. Dr. Francis G. Stehli, California Institute of Technology, is collaborating with Dr. Cooper on some Permian brachiopod studies. Dr. G. E. Lewis of the Denver office of the U. S. Geological Survey examined and made comparisons with materials in the Miocene and Pliocene collections of the division of vertebrate paleontofogy as they applied to his studies of middle and later Tertiary mammals of the Mohave Desert region in California. He was also particularly interested in Coconino footprints from the Grand Canyon region. Dr. J. R. Macdonald of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology made a detailed study of leptochoerid and bothriodont artiodactyls from the White River Oligocene as part of a study of all the known anthracotheres. Dr. M. Maldonado-Koerdell of Petréleos Mexicanos came to Washington twice during the year to study Mexican fossil fish and also Pleistocene antilocaprid materials. Mr. S. B. McDowell of the American Museum of Natural History examined Paleocene insectivore specimens in connection with a study he is making of the genus Myrmecoboides. Mr. J. H. Quinn of the University of Texas reviewed the various equid materials in the Museum’s Miocene and Pliocene collections. Mr. Quinn is making a detailed revision of the middle and later Tertiary horses. Dr. Fuiji Takai of the University of Tokyo visited the National Museum for the purpose of studying fossil marine sirenians, particularly the genus Desmostylus which is so well represented in the Miocene of Japan. Mr. H. H. Winters of the Florida Geological Survey made two trips to Washington to study Florida fossil mammal materials and to review certain Pleistocene forms. Part of his studies pertain to the fauna of the Pleistocene Manix beds in California. Engineering and Industries Crafis and industries.—Grace L. Rogers, assistant curator, submitted the manuscript of her history of the sewing machine. Miss Rogers completed her examination of all published material on the Scholfield wool-carding machine, and is searching, through living descendents of the Scholfield brothers, for original records of the machine. Miss Rogers made 102 short studies on the textile collections to answer requests from outside investigators. Edward C. Kendall’s investigation of the European origins of seventeenthand eighteenth-century American plow types was furthered by a grant from Deere and Company which enabled him to attend the International Conference for Research of Ploughing Im <<>> plements at Copenhagen and to visit institutions with agricultural, industrial, and technical collections in various European countries. One objective of his trip is information that will assist in reconstructing the types of plows in use at Mount Vernon in Washington’s time. Mr. Kendall’s examination of the 1938 John Deere steel plow showed that the drawings and reconstruction of the original Deere steel plow based on this specimen were incorect. Sketches were made showing its probable original appearance. Upon request of The Henry Francis Du Pont Winterthur Museum, W. N. Watkins conducted a one-day seminar there for a group studying the woods used in old American furniture. The identification of woods is of great importance in this study. Practical use of the microscope in wood anatomy was demonstrated, and a grounding in the use of dichotomous and other keys for separation of genera and species was given. Mr. Watkins continued his assistance to Colonial Williamsburg, the Charleston Museum, Mount Vernon, and others with similar problems of wood identification. Engineering.—Smith H. Oliver, associate curator of land transportation, conducted research on early locomotives in America for the preparation of a bulletin tentatively titled, “The Remaining Relics of the First Quarter-Century of Steam Locomotives in America.” Kenneth M. Perry, associate curator of electricity, continued research towards the preparation of a catalog of electrical measuring instruments. This project has been complicated by the acquisition of a large addition to the collection of instruments. The identification and cataloging of this material has been a major activity this year. Dr. Robert P. Multhauf, associate curator of engineering, is engaged in the preparation of a descriptive account of the history of the development of power machinery, to be used in connection with a proposed reconstruction of the power exhibits along historical lines. Graphic arts.—Curator Jacob Kainen continued research on the origins and development of photomechanical halftone processes including letterpress, halftone, photogravure, photolithography, collotype, and others. This work will establish a basis for dating early published halftones and will provide a single reference work for the diverse and complicated history of halftone printing. It will also extend the usefulness of the Museum’s collection of early halftones, probably the best extant. Preliminary studies tracing the history of the halftone screen and sketching the history of letterpress halftone printing were completed. He completed a long article, “The Development of Four-Color Printing,” to be published as an illustrated brochure by Rous and Mann Press, Ltd., Toronto, Canada. <<>> His study of the color prints of John Baptist Jackson, begun several years ago, will trace the origins of color printing in the eighteenth century and will emphasize Jackson’s importance as an artist and pioneer color printer. Alexander J. Wedderburn, associate curator, continued his “History of the Camera.” When completed, this history will be a source of reference for students, patent attorneys, inventors, and others interested in tracing the development of the camera. Medicine and public health.—Research has been carried on by George Griffenhagen, associate curator of medicine and public health, on the history and evolution of pharmaceutical equipment such as the pill machine, mortar and pestle, pharmaceutical balance, and drug container. The results of these studies will form part of a descriptive catalog of the collections. Additional work was done on the compilation of a catalog of apothecary shop restorations which are on exhibition in the United States. Parts of this catalog have appeared monthly for the past 15 rionths in the Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association, Practical Pharmacy Edition, of which Mr. Griffenhagen was appointed editorial staff associate. A Smithsonian Information Leaflet listing those restorations reported to June 1, 1953, was prepared and over 150 copies were distributed upon request. Mr. Griffenhagen was elected chairman of the section on historical pharmacy of the American Pharmaceutical Association. During the year he delivered addresses on the history of antibiotics, on early pharmacy in America, and on the work of the division of medicine and public health. Research by outside investigators.—The variety of the interests of the hundreds of inquirers who were aided in their studies is indicated by the following examples: Dr. Salahuddin Ahmad, Deputy Conservator of Forests, Punjab, Pakistan, obtained aid in ie investigation of the use of sulphuric acid in the treatment of pines in naval stores operations. Harold L. Peterson, National Park Service, was assisted in his study of the stocks of firearms used in America during the colonial and Revolutionary War periods. R. E. Cottrell was aided in his study of the coloration of woods under ultraviolet light. Thomas Morley, University of Minnesota, received eight authentic wood samples of two genera of the Melastomaceae to further his study of that family. Gordon K. Saltar, The Henry Francis Du Pont Winterthur Musuem, received eight authentic wood samples for his investigation of the specific identification of the southern yellow pines. <<>> Mildred Davison, Associate Curator of Textiles, Art Institute of Chicago, spent three days in the Museum studying fabrics, quilts, and coverlets. Four sample books from the Hamilton Print Works were lent to her for further study. Cis Fink, Danish weaver and textile expert, spent two days studying the textile collections. Irene Lagorio, Curator of the Aschenbach Foundation of the Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francisco, made an extensive study of our exhibits and collections. The Aschenbach Foundation is a newly established institution devoted to the graphic arts. Harold 8S. Anderson, Curator of the Thomas A. Edison Foundation, West Orange, N. J., studied the Edison material in the motion picture collection and Josephine Cobb, National Archives, studied the collection of Brady photographs. The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Medical Museum was aided in the preparation of an exhibit on the history of tuberculosis, and the Army Medical Library received aid on an exhibit on medicine in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. Dr. George R. Thompson, Office of the Chief Signal Officer, examined and borrowed the Beardslee military telegraph instrument. Dr. A. E. Douglass inquired for records of a sequoia trunk hut. Ralph Lewis, National Park Service, sought references to vessels engaged in the Battle of Lake Erie. The American Society of Refrigeration Engineers requested help in preparing an historical exhibit. Jacob Vaage, curator of Skimuseet, Oslo, Norway, examined skiis in the collection. Howard I. Chapelle, marine historian, consulted the collections and files. George W. Bailey, Executive Secretary, The Institute of Radio Engineers, sought advice on a working arrangement for preserving significant relics of the radio pioneers. Sixteen catalogs of the Historic American Merchant Marine Survey were furnished to inquirers and 150 blueprints were ordered from the Survey, bringing the total of prints distributed to 6,532. History Acting Head Curator Mendel L. Peterson completed a manuscript on the history of the frigate Looe; and he continued the project on the study of ornamentation and marking of muzzle-loading cannon, photographing specimens at West Point, Charleston, S. C., Yorktown, Va., and the Mariners Museum, Newport News, Va. A booklet, “History Under the Sea,” was prepared in connection with the special exhibition of marine archeology. Associate Curator of Civil History Margaret W. Brown continued research on the collection of Washington relics in the U. S. National <<>> Museum. Her work resulted in publication of an article on the “Washington Gold Funeral Medal” in the February 1954 issue of The Numismatist. Associate Curator of Numismatics Stuart Mosher continued his research on a biographical dictionary of American medalists and on the life and works of Edward Stabler, early American die engraver. He also worked on a catalog of the Hugh Miller collection of Korean charms and amulets, and on a catalog of multiple thalers in the Paul A. Straub collection. Associate Curator of Philately Franklin R. Bruns, Jr., continued his research on a number of projects, among which were: original subjects as used for postage stamps; the philatelic directory, a reference work; the postal history and postage stamps of Germany; Liberian postal history and postage stamps; Nicaraguan stamp plates; United States commemoratives, 1945-1955, a companion volume to the completed guide to the 1900-1945 issues. Research by outside investigators.—Outside investigators used the collections and libraries and were given assistance during the year. Miss Elizabeth Andersch, Ohio University School of Dramatic Art, studied the costumes collection, gathering information on early nineteenth-century dress for a sesquicentennial play to be produced by the University this year. Members of the staff of Colonial Williamsburg making extensive studies of various collections were Miss Katherine Shawer, of the Craft Shops, who studied eighteenth-century hats and bonnets; Mrs. Eleanor L. Duncan, assistant curator, who was especially interested in costumes and antiques; and Miss Margaret C. McMahon, library assistant, who examined pictorial material in the collections. Mr. Harold L. Peterson made an extensive study of the United States military swords in preparing his book, “American Military Swords,” just published. Mr. Walter B. Jones, Director of the Alabama Museum of Natural History, was assisted in the attribution and cataloging of a large number of Greek and Roman coins from the collections of that museum. <<>> Publications In addition to an Annual Report, the National Museum issued 14 publications based on research in the national collections. Of these, 1 was in the Bulletin series, 11 were in the Proceedings series, and 2 were Contributions from the National Herbarium. The titles of these publications are listed below. At the close of the year one Proceedings paper and the following three Bulletins were in press: “List of North American Recent Mammals” by Gerrit S. Miller, Jr., and Remington Kellogg; “Frogs of Southeastern Brazil” by Doris M. Cochran; and “American Moths of the Subfamily Phycitinae” by Carl Heinrich. Publications by the staff, including honorary members, totaled 136. These publications, listed on pages 55 to 59, were distributed as follows: Department Publications Department Publications ANCHTOpPOlOS yee ee eee 1G.)
