R. 6410) authorizing the construction of a building for a Museum of History and Technology for the Smithsonian Institution at a cost not to exceed $36,000,000, including the preparation of plans and specifications, and all other work incidental thereto. Following a favorable report by the Committee on Public Works of the Senate of the United States, the same bill passed the Senate by unanimous consent on June 17, 1955. The President of the United States on June 28, 1955, approved the Act of Congress (Public Law 106) which authorizes and directs the Regents of the Smithsonian Institution to plan and construct this museum building. In this building will be housed the collections now displayed in the Arts and Industries building of the United States National Museum. Funds Allotted From the funds appropriated by Congress to carry on the operations of the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus during the fiscal year 1955, the sum of $1,136,016 was allotted to the United States National Museum for the preservation, increase, and study of the national collections of anthropological, zoological, botanical, and geological collections, as well as materials illustrative of engineering, industry, graphic arts and history (this amount includes sums expended for the program of exhibits modernization). <<>> Exhibits The program of modernizing exhibits, initiated during the preceding year, was continued in 1955 by a Congressional allotment of $360,000. Contracts were awarded and work commenced on the North American mammal and the bird halls and construction was started on the cultural history (the colonial tradition in America) | and the power machinery halls. Anthropology On the evening of June 2, 1955, President William M. Milliken of the American Association of Museums and Secretary Leonard Carmichael of the Smithsonian Institution formally opened to the public the newly modernized American Indian hall in a ceremony scheduled as part of the program of the 50th anniversary meeting of the Association. The ethnographic displays in this hall range geographically from Tierra del Fuego, at the southern tip of South America, through Latin America, to southwestern United States and California. The life-size groups in the displays portray various aspects of the ways of life of these historic Indian cultures and are a legacy from the past, having been designed by the talented artist and former head curator of anthropology, Dr. William H. Holmes. Some were exhibited at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, in 1893. Five miniature dioramas supplement these life-size family groups, and portray (1) the Indians who met Columbus; (2) life in a Yosemite Indian village in the fall of the year, when acorns are being collected ; (3) a sacred ceremony in the antelope kiva of the Hopi Indians; (4) terrace farming among the Inca; and (5) a camp scene among the Yahgan Indians, the southernmost people in the world. Wall cases illustrate the basic economy of each culture in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and handicrafts. A selection of the 53 displays that comprise this hall are illustrated on the pages that follow. These displays were the product of close cooperation between Associate Curator of Ethnology John C. Ewers, who planned the hall and suggested the case layouts, and the group of artists who designed and installed the exhibits under the creative direction of Exhibits Specialist John E. Anglim. Working with Mr. Anglim were T. G. Baker, R. O. Hower, W. T. Marinetti, E. H. Normandin, Jr., and M. M. Pearson. Three of the dioramas were fashioned by Exhibits Preparator A. Joseph Andrews and two others <<>> Wild seeds, principally acorns, were an important food resource which the Hupa women collected and processed. Men hunted and fished. Pomo women of northwestern California were noted for making some of the world’s most finely woven baskets. Clamshell beads and dentalia, another shell, took the place of money in trade among the tribes of California Indians. <<>> Carefully painted dolls help the children recognize and name the hundreds of supernatural spirits, or kachinas, revered by their tribe.

Today they make beautiful silver ornaments for sale and for their own use. The Cocopa gained a livelihood in the deserts of Mexico along the lower Colorado River by growing crops in the irrigated river bottoms, hunting small game, and fishing. In their preference for buckskin clothing, the Apache resembled neighboring tribes of the Great Plains. The Apache traditionally wove coiled baskets and also painted and beaded articles of buckskin. Their crafts were like those of the Southwestern and Plains Indians. <<>> In the Mexican-border region the desert-dwelling Pima were skilled potters, basketmakers, and weavers of cotton blankets and belts.

Basketry fans from modern Mexico illustrate variation in local styles. In design, these fans, which are popular gifts, are remarkably similar to those of fans appearing on ancient Maya paintings. <<>> The warlike Jivaro are Selected objects and photographic color transparencies clever hunters with the interpret the basic economy, traditional manufactures, blow gun, which they and social life of the Carib and Arawak tribes in the use solely to kill game. jungles and savannas of the Guianas.

A diorama recreates in realistic miniature the moment when the Lucayan Indians of the Bahamas in 1492 discovered Columbus’ ships on the horizon. <<>> The tribes of Tierra del Fuego are the southernmost people of the world. Contrasted here are the customs of the Yahgan canoemen, who wore few clothes and sought their food by the sea, and the Ona footmen, who hunted the swift-footed Ilama-like guanaco, their principal source of food, clothing, and shelter. The horse, introduced by the Spanish, enabled the bola-using Tehuelche to become more effective nomadic hunters on the grasslands of Axvrgentina. <<>> were prepared in the Museum Laboratory of the National Park Service from Mr. Ewers’ specifications. After many months of planning by Associate Curator C. Malcolm Watkins and Chief Exhibits Preparator John E. Anglim, and with the cooperation of Public Buildings Service, construction was begun in Hall 26 on exhibits depicting colonial life in North America. In a series of 50 case exhibits and 6 period rooms household furnishings as well as useful and decorative arts will be displayed to illustrate domestic customs from the earliest settlements along the Atlantic Coast to about 1830. Two of the latter will be ground floor rooms of the complete 2-story 17th-century house from Everett, Mass., the gift of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur M. Greenwood of Marlboro, Mass. An instructive exhibit, “Folk Pottery of Early New England,” was installed in an alcove of the ground floor foyer of the Natural History Building by Mr. Watkins and the exhibits preparators. The redware and stoneware there displayed were selected from the gift collection of Mrs. Lura Woodside Watkins. The drama of the buffalo-hunting Plains Indian, the warfare he waged in defense of his way of life, and the coming of the frontier— these historical incidents provided themes for special exhibitions in which the U. S. National Museum participated. Paintings and drawings of Indian subjects made by such early 19th century American artists as George Catlin, John Mix Stanley, Charles Bird King, H. Stieffel, and Gustavus Sohon, were lent to various museums and galleries throughout the United States. Owing to its unique character and outstanding interest a figurine of wood, basketry, and cloth from the central coast of Peru, dated about A. D. 1100, was installed in a special case at the south end of the hall, “Highlights of Latin American Archeology.” During June 1955, a display of casts illustrating skeletal age changes in young American males was installed among the semipublic exhibits maintained in the third-floor corridors of the Natural History Building. A temporary exhibit, “The Sickle Cell Disease in Man,” developed by Associate Curator Marshall T. Newman in collaboration with the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, was shown at the annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences on April 25, 1955. Zoology During the year the exhibits staff of the department of zoology completed the installation of the puma, Alaska wolf, pronghorn antelope, and Virginia deer in the recently constructed habitat units. For the bison group in this North American mammal hall, the Fish and Wildlife Service provided three animals from the National Bison Range. Chief Exhibits Preparator W. L. Brown made a trip to 359492—55——__2 <<>> Amidon and Bismarck, N. Dak., and to the Bison Range at Moiese, Mont., for habitat photographs, background accessories, and related materials. In the bird hall work was completed on all construction. Also completed was one habitat group, depicting the bird life of the Antarctic, in which five emperor and three Adelie penguins, a skua, a kelp gull, and a snow petrel are shown. The paintings on the backgrounds of display units for the hoatzin, Carolina parakeet, bower bird, honey-guide, and palm chat were essentially finished at the close of the fiscal year. The paintings of flying birds for the ceiling of this hall were completed and the installation of some exhibits was commenced. Notable among a special series of small exhibits of insects placed on display in the foyer of the Natural History Building was an exhibit of Morpho butterflies showing sexual dimorphism and the contrast between physical and chemical coloration. Geology Planning for the medernization of the geological exhibits has been resumed. ‘The general plans and layouts of the halls for minerals, invertebrate fossils, and the lower vertebrate fossils have been determined. Associate Curator David H. Dunkle and Exhibits Worker G. Donald Guadagni were in the field during the last five weeks of the fiscal year searching the Cretaceous chalk beds of Kansas for fossil fish needed to complete the exhibition series. Curator G. A. Cooper of the division of invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany visited the University of Michigan and the Chicago Museum of Natural History for consultations regarding installation of proposed restorations of fossil life in the hall of fossil invertebrates. Preparation of the giant ground sloth material from Panama has been completed and two skeletons have been assembled for mounting and installation in the exhibition hall. Engineering and Industries The detailed planning of the power machinery hall was completed during the year, the plans and specifications were reviewed, and the preparation of exhibits for installation was in progress. The exhibits in this hall illustrate the development of power machinery by means of original machines, models, and graphic devices. Several new models of pioneer power machines were constructed by Donald H. Berkebile, modelmaker, in the exhibits workshop. The actual construction of this hall will start shortly after the close of this fiscal year. Both the hall of horse-drawn and locomotive transportation, which was painted under the buildings renovation program, and the <<>> boat hall have been greatly improved by the installation of fluorescent lighting. In order to improve the display of instruments in the metrology section, all but the more significant have been put in storage. New exhibits on the development of the balance and the early instruments of astronomy and surveying are now complete. Tn the hall of textiles eight new exhibits were installed and four were renovated. A noteworthy new one traces asbestos from early superstitious use to modern times, and another, “American Cotton Before Columbus,” features important early Peruvian fabrics. An exhibit on hand spinning, one on machine spinning, and four on the development of the loom through fly-shuttle weaving were completed. Tn the section of manufactures an addition was made to the Fessenden exhibit of plant and insect specimens preserved in plastic. The tire exhibit and opposite cases were repainted to harmonize with the recently painted south hall, and the appearance of the south hall gallery was further improved by a rearrangement of cases, the repainting of two wall cases, and the renovation of the sealskin exhibit. A new exhibit of patent models of harrows, arranged against a large photomural background of a harrow in use, was installed. The planter exhibit was moved to a lighted case, enlarged, and relabeled. An outline of the plans for the hall of health was circulated to professionally interested individuals and institutions for comment. The theme of this hall will be man’s knowledge of his body then and now, a comparison of old and present ideas and knowledge of the human body. Exhibits designed and constructed in the division of medicine and public health during the past year include an introductory exhibit, pointing out the highlights of the gallery of medical history, and presenting a brief historical orientation to medical science; “A Telegram From Your Heart,” showing the historical evolution of the electrocardiograph, and featuring Dr. Frank Wilson’s original electrocardiograph; an 1875 dental office containing the significant office equipment of Dr. G. V. Black, pioneer in dental education; “Hearing Aids, from Cupped Hand to Transistor,” tracing the development of the hearing aid; “Mortar and Pestle, Symbol of Pharmacy,” showing the chronological development of the mortar and pestle from the stone mortar to the Wedgwood mortar; “The Pharmaceutical Balance,” tracing the evolution of the balances used in pharmacy; “Percolation,” describing the historical devolpment of this important pharmaceutical process; “Compressed Tablets vs. Handmade Pills,” tracing the evolution of the pill machine and the tablet press; “Milestones in Cardiology,” a portrait exhibit of pioneers of cardiology; “Sculpture Portraits of Medical Greats,” featuring ten plaques by sculptress Doris Appel; “Suppository Mold: Past and Present,” an exhibit showing <<>> the evolution of the suppository mold from paper cone to compression mold; an exhibit featuring the William R. Warner original pillcoating pan and pitcher, used for sugar-coating pills; an exhibit featuring the original Scherer gelatin capsulating machine; “Prescriptions Around the World,” a collection of medical prescriptions from the far corners of the globe; and an exhibit of apothecary show globes of the late 19th century. Exhibits prepared by donors, with the guidance of the associate curator of the division, and installed in the division of medicine and public health during the past year, include “The Dodrill-GMR Mechanical Heart,” presented by General Motors Research Laboratories; “Allergies,” featuring an animated step-by-step demonstration of typical allergic reactions, presented by Ciba Pharmaceutical Products, Inc.; “Binding up a Wound,” an exhibit presented by Johnson and Johnson to show the evolution of surgical dressings and featuring a Peruvian skull, some 1,500 years old, on which ancient cotton gauze is held in place by several strands of strong llama-hair cord; “Take Away That Bitter Taste,” tracing the evolution of flavoring medicines, presented by Dodge and Olcott, Inc.; “Your Height and Weight,” contributed by the American Medical Association; “The Story of the Ampoule,” presented by Parke, Davis Company; and “The Evolution of Medical Illustrating,” contrasting early anatomical illustrations and present day medical illustrations, lent by artist Paul Peck of Sudler and Hennessey, Inc. In addition Eli Lilly completely refurbished their exhibit, “Insulin and Diabetes.” In cooperation with the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy, the division of medicine and public health sponsored a pictorial exhibit tracing the evolution of the drug store at the 75th anniversary meeting of the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association, in Madison, Wise. Jacob Kainen, curator of the division of graphic arts, and J. Harry Phillips, Jr., museum aide, began a complete revision of the exhibits dealing with the techniques of picture printing. The photogravure and rotogravure sections have been completed and the section on the halftone relief process is partially completed. Lighting has been installed in the hall for the first time. In the section of photography material was gathered for exhibits relating to the history of stereophotography and to early motion picture devices. >> Lesser known French etchers of the 19th Prints from the permanent collection 1954 June 21—Sept. 6 century Jacob Pins Block prints from the Sept. 7—Oct. 3 permanent print collection Paul Heinrich Ebell 25 woodcuts Oct. 4—Oct. 31 The Yoshida Family 60 block prints Noy. 1—Nov. 28 1955 Victor Delhez 26 wood engravings Nov. 29—Jan. 2 Persis Robertson 33 lithographs Jan. 3—Jan. 30 Arthur W.

The eight large display units in this hall, designed to represent different rooms in the White House from its earliest period to the present time, contain architectural details received from the White House during its recent reconstruction. They afford the visitor an opportunity to view the dresses in surroundings similar to those in which they were originally worn. Each room contains from three to six dresses representing a time span of about 20 years. The changing styles in White House decoration shown in these rooms are based on available pictorial evidence and written descriptions. <<>> An exhibit illustrating the history of the United States Marine Corps was dedicated on August 10, 1954, in a section of the hall of naval history by Secretary Carmichael and General Lemuel C. Shepherd, Commandant of the Marine Corps. In it the historical development of this organization is traced by means of a series of uniforms, swords, and miscellaneous items owned by notable officers and enlisted men. A special exhibition, “History under the Sea,” was displayed in the foyer of the Natural History Building from July 20 to August 20, 1954, and subsequently for about three months in the rotunda of the Arts and Industries Building. Seventy-six double frames in the philatelic exhibit cases were used to display an exceptionally complete series of United States revenue stamps transferred from the Internal Revenue Service. Commissioner of Internal Revenue T. Coleman Andrews made the presentation to Secretary Carmichael on October 12, 1954. <<>> 1789-1817 (left to right): Dorothea ‘Dolley’?

D. 1100. This unusual object was presented by Mrs. Virginia Morris Pollak as a gift from the Arther Morris collection. A series of large archeological collections taken from excavation projects in various parts of the Missouri Basin has been transferred to the Museum by the River Basin Surveys. >> The division of physical anthropology had an opportunity through collaborative studies to restore a badly crushed human skull which had been recovered by Dr. Fred Wendorf near Midland, Tex. This skull was found associated with Folsom type projectile points. Dr. T. Dale Stewart, curator of physical anthropology, who restored the skull, arranged with Dr. F. J. McClure of the National Institute of Dental Research to test the skull and associated Pleistocene animal bones for the amount of fluorine. On the basis of these tests and the excavation record, the age of this skull is considered to be around 12,000 years. Zoology The armed forces research teams operating in various parts of the world continued to make major contributions to the mammal collec. tions. Specimens of Korean mammals, including the Museum’s first collection from Quelpart Island, were transferred through the Hemorrhagic Fever Commission from the Army Medical Service Graduate School. A transfer from Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 at Cairo included about 350 specimens from Egypt and the Sudan. The U.S. Army, through the 25th Preventive Medicine Survey Detachment, transferred a collection of specimens obtained by Capt. Gordon Field and C. M. Keenan in Panamé and the Canal Zone. Dr. Robert K. Enders contributed three separate collections of small mammals from Pakistan, the Island of Saipan in the Marianas, and Wyoming. An especially fine collection of dog and wolf skulls was included among specimens excavated from an aboriginal site on Southampton Island by Dr. Henry B. Collins, Bureau of American Ethnology, on the National Geographic Society-Smithsonian Institution-National Museum of Canada Expedition. Most noteworthy among the accessions recorded by the division of birds was a gift of 1,255 bird skins from the “Benson Grubstakers” (a group of young men living in Panama who are interested in natural history) and the Panama Canal Natural History Society. A gift from Maj. Gen. G. R. Meyer, U.S. Army, of 119 sets of eggs with full data, largely from the Canal Zone, added important information to that already available on the breeding dates of Panamanian birds. A deposit made by the Smithsonian Institution comprised 959 skins, 54 skeletons, 2 alcoholics, and 1 set of eggs collected by Dr. A. Wetmore. The National Geographic Society presented a small but geographically important collection of 131 birds obtained in French Equatorial Africa by Walter. A. Weber. A considerable number of valuable herpetological specimens were accessioned as gifts: a type and 18 paratypes of a new species of frog taken in Jamaica by Dr. W. Gardner Lynn; 119 reptiles and amphib <<>> iy U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1955 ians from Virginia, including a type and paratypes of a new species of salamander, from Richard L. Hoffman; 8 reptiles from Puttur, Chittoor District, Madras, India, including a genus and 8 species not formerly contained in the Museum collection, presented by Rev. Erwin Chell. A transfer from the Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 at Cairo yielded 390 Egyptian reptiles and amphibians. The largest collection of fishes received during the year consisted of 2,341 specimens from freshwater streams in the southeastern United States collected for the Museum by Dr. Ernest Lachner and Frank J. Schwartz. Another large gift was composed of 1,813 reef fishes collected in the Gilbert Islands by the donor, John Randall. Additional gifts included the holotype of a new scorpaenid fish from the eastern Pacific through John EK. Fitch; and the holotype of a new Monocentris from Mas-a-Tierra Island from Dr. Edwyn P. Reed, Valparaiso, Chile. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service transferred to the Museum the most important Atlantic collection received in several years, 983 fishes obtained by George C. Miller in Liberia. Through exchanges with other institutions the Museum received 6 paratypes of cyprinids from México through Dr. José Alvarez, Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Biologicas; the paratype of a frogfish, from the Chicago Natural History Museum through Loren P. Woods; and 3 paratypes of a Mexican catfish, from the Instituto Mexicano de Recursos Naturales Renovables, through Dr. Jorge Caranza. One of the most valuable acquisitions of insects received was the W. M. Mann collection, consisting of 136,288 specimens, of which over 116,000 are ants. Approximately 700 types and hundreds of species of ants from many areas in the world not previously represented in Washington were included in this group. Among the important transfers from the U. S. Department of Agriculture was the S. W. Bromley collection of well over 35,000 specimens. This accession, rich in material representative of the dipterous family Asilidae, places the Museum high on the list among the institutions possessing extensive collections of these flies. Another transfer included 34,258 entomological specimens from the Department’s Laboratory of Forest Insects, New Haven, Conn. Over 9,000 medically important “blackflies” were received as a transfer from the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Two notable gifts greatly enhanced the collection of polychaete worms maintained by the division of marine invertebrates; 3,645 specimens, mostly from New England, including 3 holotypes and 3 paratypes from Dr. Marian Pettibone, University of New Hampshire, and more than 200 identified specimens from the Gold Coast, Africa, received from the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, through Dr. L. B. Holthuis. Twelve lots of octocorals were received <<>> from His Imperial Majesty’s collections, Laboratory of the Imperial Household, Tokyo, Japan. Other noteworthy gifts to the collections were 7 remarkable fossil sea-pens presented by Mr. H. G. Kugler, Pointe-a-Pierre, Trinidad, and 3 large balanoglossid worms from Grand Isle, La., given by Dr. Harry J. Bennett, Louisiana State University. Three exchanges from Dr. Alejandro Villalobos F., Universidad Nacional A. de México, brought 54 isopod and decapod crustaceans of which 34 were paratype specimens. Among the transfers was one from the Fish and Wildlife Service, U. S. Department of the Interior, which included more than 1,019 crustaceans and other invertebrates collected in the Gulf of Mexico by the exploratory fishing vessel Oregon under the direction of Stewart Springer. The division of mollusks received types of seven new species of nudibranch mollusks described and presented by J. M. Ostergaard. From the Gulf of Mexico 34 specimens of gastropods, including the types of 3 new species, were donated by Daniel Steger. As in the past, Jeanne S. Schwengel gave many fine specimens to the Museum, including a specimen of the rare cowrie Cypraea armeniaca from South Australia. Of the year’s five accessions of helminths two are worthy of special mention because they brought types of two new species: Onchocotyle sommiosi, a trematode described by the donor, Dr. David Causey, and Gigantobilharzia huttoni, presented by the author, Dr. W. Henry Leigh. The most important accession of corals is comprised of some 400 specimens from the Great Barrier Reef off Queensland, Australia, collected and donated by Dr. John W. Wells, Cornell University. Botany Two significant collections were obtained for the Museum by staff members: 2,850 specimens, largely grasses, in the States of San Luis Potosi and Chiapas, México, collected by Dr. Ernest R. Sohns, and 3,445 specimens from Big Pine Key, Fla., and Isle of Pines, Cuba, obtained by E. P. Killip, research associate. Among the numerous collections received as gifts with names requested, one is especially noteworthy, 588 plants from the Herbario “Barbosa Rodriques,” Itajai, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The Ohio State University presented 4,084 plants of Guatemala collected by W. A. Kellerman many years ago, including numerous historically important specimens. KE. C. Leonard of the department staff donated his private herbarium consisting of approximately 9,300 specimens accumulated over a period of many years. Transfers from other government agencies yielded several fine collections : from the Agricultural Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, 983 specimens collected by Richard Evans Schultes in <<>> Colombia; 5,066 specimens collected in India, Afghanistan, and Iran by Walter Koelz; and a historic set of 575 central European cryptogams, the Kryptogamae Germaniae Exsiccatae; from the U. S. Geological Survey, 1,360 plants of Alaska with a request for identifications; and 1,105 plants of Micronesia collected by F. R. Fosberg. The National Research Council through the Pacific Science Board transferred 532 plants of the Caroline Islands collected by S. F. Glassman. Important exchanges included 2,009 plants of México, Central America, and South America, from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, collected by the late F. W. Pennell. Geology Outstanding gifts to the mineral collection are examples of the rare minerals hurlburtite and bismutotantalite from Prof. E. Tavora; rare iron and manganese phosphates from Finland from Dr. Mary Mrose; of superb specimen of crystallized wolframite from Korea from C. S. Whetzel; the rare uranium mineral kasolite, Hahn’s Peak, Colo., from C. R. Reddington; and a combination of the rare minerals schallerite and hedyphane, Franklin, N. J., from J. S. Albanese. Included in the exhibition material added to the Roebling collection were a group of large flawless axinite crystals of smoky lavender color on actinolite from Madera County, Calif., a large benitoite crystal in neptunite from San Benito County, Calif., and a bastnaesite crystal from Madagascar weighing eleven pounds. A mass of native lead weighing 80 pounds is one of the largest masses of this rare mineral found at Langban, Sweden. A sharp dodecahedral crystal of grossularite of an unusual pink color is one of the largest crystals of this mineral known. Among the outstanding exhibition specimens added to the Canfield collection were a rich nodule of precious turquoise from the mines at Villa Grove, Colo., a rare group of tourmaline crystals of bronzeereen color from Brazil, and a fine exhibition group of apophyllite on prehnite from a newly discovered occurrence near Centreville, Va. Gifts to the gem collection included a pink pearl from East Pakistan, presented by the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mohammed Ali, and an outstanding collection of 33 cut tourmalines weighing 118 carats, from W. F. Ingram, selected to show the color range of this gem stone. An uncommon specimen received for the ore collection was the limb bone of a dinosaur partially replaced by uraninite, from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Co. through T. O. Evans. During the past year Dr. S. H. Perry donated 35 specimens of meteorites. Among them was a stone of the Sylacauga fall, weighing 1,682 grams. Another individual of this fall became celebrated as the first known case of a meteorite striking a person. <<>> The support of the Walcott fund again permitted staff members to obtain important accessions in invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany. Specimens of Paleozoic invertebrates numbering 15,000 were collected by Dr. G. A. Cooper and Robert Main, and a very large group of Mesozoic and Tertiary Foraminifera from the classic localities of Europe was obtained by Drs. A. R. Loeblich, Jr., and Helen Tappan Loeblich. Particular mention is made of the gift of 2,000 specimens of Silurian and Devonian fossils from little known areas in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Quebec received from Dr. Arthur Boucot; and 800 Triassic invertebrate fossils from the Italian Alps from Dr. Franco Rasetti. Important foraminiferal donations included 275 type specimens from the Cretaceous rocks of Cuba and Trinidad presented by Dr. P. Bronnimann; and 320 slides of type Recent Foraminifera and 305 foraminiferal slides from the North Atlantic from Dr. Fred Phleger. Another very valuable gift was presented by Drs. A. R. Loeblich, Jr., and Helen Tappan Loeblich of 1,000 microsamples and 3,500,000 specimens of mounted Foraminifera, with many types, from the Cretaceous of Texas. Through the Walcott fund a collection of about 600 specimens of rare Paleocene and Eocene mammals was obtained by Dr. C. L. Gazin and F. L. Pearce from southern Wyoming. Of particular interest were an excellent skull and some skeletal material of the large pantodont mammal Coryphodon and two well preserved skulls of the condylarth mammal Weniscothertum. Under the same fund Dr. D. H. Dunkle collected fossil fish and reptile remains from Devonian, Triassic, and Cretaceous rocks of Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. An outstanding gift was a nearly complete skull of the large sabre-tooth cat Smilodon fatalis, collected from the Pleistocene deposits of Texas by George Klett and presented to the Museum through James E. Conklin. A remarkable collection of about 750 otoliths of teleostean fishes from the Eocene lower Barton beds of Hampshire, England, and representing 22 genera and 28 species was given by Dr. F. C. Stinton. Engineering and Industries A turbine reputed to be the first built by Charles Curtis, America’s best known pioneer steam turbine inventor, was presented by the Stevens Institute of Technology. Original radio apparatus was received from the widow of Edwin Armstrong, comprising his regenerative receiver made about 1912, three superheterodyne receivers, a super-regenerative circuit, and what is considered the oldest surviving frequency modulation receiver. The Dodrill-GMR Mechanical Heart, the first to be used successfully for the complete bypass of the human heart during surgery, <<>> was presented by the General Motors Corporation through C. L. McCuen of the Research Laboratories Division. The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research gave the first Kinthoven string galvanometer made in the United States for an electrocardiograph. This was made in 1914 by Charles F. Hindle for Dr. Alfred E. Cohn. An electrocardiograph used by Dr. Frank E. Wilson, a pioneer in the field of electrocardiography, was presented by the University of Michigan. Several hundred drawings mostly of the details of early Bessemer process steel plants made by the distinguished engineer, Alexander Lyman Holley, were the gift of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. An elaborately carved roller cotton gin from India was received from Mrs. Stanley M. Walker. A pink brocaded taffeta christening blanket, known to have been used in 1827, was presented by Faith Bradford, and a commemorative linen “We Offer Peace, Ready for War” was given in the name of Sibyl Avery Perkins, deceased, by her daughter, Mrs. Robert C. Johnson, Jr. An unusual board section of curly yellow buckeye showing beautiful blue stain markings, was presented by Ray E. Cottrell of the Wood Collectors Society. Fifty microscope mounts of woods of the family Celastraceae were received from John A. Boole, Jr., and 20 woods and 20 corresponding mounts of the genus Garrya through Prof. J. BE. Adams, from the University of North Carolina. A linoleum block print, “Le Coup de Vent” by Felix Vallotton (1865-1925), an important figure in the revival of the wood cut, was purchased through the Dahlgreen fund. Two etchings by Giovanni Baptista Piranesi (1720-1778) “Veduta del Palazzo dell’ Academia” and “Veduta sul Monte Quirinale del Palazzo Eccelentissima” were received as Smithsonian Institution deposits. Hight etchings illustrating Homer’s Odyssey, by the wellknown Polish artist Sigmund Lipinsky (1873-1940), were presented by Mrs. Elinita K. Burgess Lipinsky. History A very interesting specimen received in the division of civil history was a piano used in the White House during the administration of President John Quincy Adams. This piano, on loan from the Juilhard School of Music in New York, is a very early one of American make and bears the type of label used between 1822-29 by Alphaeus Babcock, who worked in Boston. A large collection of vases, andirons, and other ornamental pieces donated by Mrs. W. Murray Crane of New York City helped to complete the exhibition of almost every setting in the First Ladies Hall. <<>> As a loan the Museum received from B. Woodruff Weaver two gold sofas which were missing from the suite of White House furniture previously acquired. They had been sold at auction in 1902 by the White House and were recently acquired by the Barnes family of Washington. Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower presented the gloves, evening purse, jewelry and slippers she wore with her inaugural dress. ‘These accessories complement this unit for exhibition. Two fans and a blue and white Chinese porcelain vase belonging to Mrs. Herbert Hoover were presented by Mrs. Herbert Hoover, Jr. A hickory walking stick, inlaid in silver and bearing the name of Abraham Lincoln, was given by Samuel J. Prescott. A gift to the division of military history from Joseph Cummings Chase contained 79 portraits of World War I officers and enlisted men, and one portrait of an enlisted man in service during the Korean conflict. Outstanding among the accessions in the division of numismatics was the gift from Mrs. William D. (Gorgas) Wrightson of 43 award medals and decorations given to Dr. William Crawford Gorgas, 1854-1920, Sanitation Engineer for the Panama Canal Commission and later Surgeon General of the United States. The Post Office Department has continued as the principal means whereby the philatelic collections are kept up to date, forwarding one specimen of each new stamp distributed by the Universal Postal Union. Three shipments totaling approximately 3,000 stamps were thus transferred. The Treasury Department, through the cooperation of T. Coleman Andrews, Commissioner of Internal Revenue, transferred an additional 49,642 specimens of United States revenue stamps and proofs. Among gifts from private donors, especial mention is made of two additional collections of great value from Ernest Lowenstein. One collection consists of four volumes of Honduras airmails, replete with rarities, and the other of a 3-volume collection of Paraguay airmails. <<>> Care of Collections Trans- Gifts to ferred Loaned for Submitied Exchanged educato other study to inor with other tional Governvestigators Received in identifiIdentified instituinstitument and insti- Department accessions cation on request tions tions agencies tutions Anthropology . 34,450 2,679 2,679 2 119 0 839 Zoology .. . 363, 500 40,985 32,396 3,073 2, 546 88 82, 333 Botany .. . 58,526 11,472 8,557 16, 632 858 O 15,125 Geology . . . *7,056,121 4,355 4,272 3,006 15,398 412 7, 460 Eng. & Ind. . 5, 609 810 795 94 48 0 335 History ... 78,440 20,361 20, 351 165 0 0 3, 374 TotaL. 7,596,646 80,662 69,050 22,972 18,969 500 109, 466 * Consists chiefly of foraminiferan specimens collected in Europe during the previous year. Anthropology Storage space for new anthropological accessions continues to be a problem of first importance, since it has now become necessary to divide large incoming shipments and to store them wherever space can be found. This fragmentation not only makes systematic classifieation all but impossible but also increases the possibility of confusion. In the division of archeology a large proportion of the time of the laboratory aid was devoted to numbering and cleaning new accessions, and to washing specimens from Ecuador. Consequently, only a rather limited amount of work was carried forward on the long-term program of reworking and condensing the study collections from various states. Nevertheless, the archeological collections from Missouri were checked, sorted, and regrouped, and in some cases a certain amount of renumbering and restoration could be undertaken. By means of this and the shifting of other material it was possible to free a small amount of storage space. Owing to the transfer of large shipments from the Smithsonian River Basin Surveys, the processing of these collections has been a major operation of the year. Many of these collections are from localities not heretofore represented in the national collections; and in many instances they are the only materials now extant from sites and <<>> localities submerged by reservoirs constructed under the federal watercontrol program. G.S. Metcalf, museum aide, is proceeding with the task of sorting and listing these specimens. The Mexican archeological study materials have now all been moved to the attic. Through this and other shifting of collections and work facilities the archeological laboratory has gained increased working space and processing facilities. Structural work was completed on the storage racks located on the fourth rotunda floor, and both the racks and the drawers were painted. During the year Assistant Curator Robert A. Elder, Jr., and Museum Aide George McBryde were confronted with the tremendous task of removing thousands of ethnological objects that had been displayed in the American Indian hall scheduled for modernization. These specimens were segregated and placed in the classified study series. A. Joseph Andrews, chief preparator in the anthropological laboratory, completed various tasks including the making of a latex mold of the Midland human skull, the latter dating from between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago, assisting with the refurbishing of the life size groups in hall 11, supervising the cleaning and reframing of 47 paintings by George Catlin, and repairing early American stoneware for a special exhibition. He also prepared a bust of Mrs. Hisenhower for the Department of History, to be used in displaying Mrs. Kisenhower’s gown in the new First Ladies hall. Zoology The completion of a large refrigerated fur-storage room, in which the tanned skins of large ungulates and carnivores are now installed, marks one of the greatest advances in storage facilities made available to the division of mammals in recent years. The merger of the Fish and Wildlife Service collection and that of the Museum was advanced during the year by the rearrangement and relabeling of most of the skins and skulls of primates. A major step in solving the continuing problem of caring for embalmed or pickled specimens of large and medium-sized mammals was taken when a series of old and unsatisfactory crocks and barrels was replaced with 10 wooden tanks lined with monel metal. The new installation increased considerably the space available for storage. Toward the close of the year a start was made on rearranging and indexing the entire collection of alcoholic and embalmed mammals, and all skeletal material. The merger last year of the Fish and Wildlife Service bird collection with that of the Museum necessitated considerable relabeling of the storage cases and the more critical rearrangement of the specimens of a few difficult groups. This has now been completed. The reidentification and relabeling of all specimens, where needed, were continued <<>> by division personnel, assisted by Dr. J. W. Aldrich and A. J. Duvall of the Fish and Wildlife Service. The adoption of monel-lined wooden tanks also facilitated the care of the large alcoholic turtles, lizards, and crocodilians. The collection of skeletons and other dried materials in the attic was examined for signs of deterioration and all dry turtle shells were coated with a cement designed to keep the scales in place. Processing and arrangement of the large backlog of uncataloged fishes awaits the completion of the new storage room. Although the insect material in the permanent collections is in excellent condition the majority of the groups are so overcrowded that the need for storage equipment is readily apparent. The largest task accomplished during the year was the labeling of the Mann collection, which is now being incorporated, insofar as space permits, into the Museum collection. The labeling of 10,350 specimens of the Shannon collection of Brazilian Diptera and the labeling and incorporation of the Korschefsky collection of Coccinellidae (ladybird beetles) were completed. The remainder of the Smythe collection and much of the ¥. M. Jones collection (both moths and butterflies) were also added. Special attention was given this year to the dry invertebrate colJections. All the dry echinoderms on the ground fioor and all the miscellaneous dry material in the attic were treated with paradichlorobenzene, a time-consuming task that involved the opening of hundreds of individual specimen boxes to insert the crystals. In addition, most of the faulty specimen bottles in the alcoholic collections were extracted and replaced with aluminum capped bottles, and all leaky earthenware crocks were removed from the storage stacks and their contents placed in recently provided monel-lined wooden tanks. In general, the physical condition of the study collection of mollusks is good, but there remains a large number of cataloged lots that should be incorporated in it. Further progress was made in the reorganization of the marine mollusks of the eastern Atlantic, initiated three years ago. The helminth slide and alcoholic collections, curated by the Animal Disease and Parasite Branch of the Agricultural Research Service, continues in excellent shape, but the backlog of uncataloged material increases yearly. In recent years there have been added to this backlog the Van Cleave, Henry B. Ward, and George LaRue collections. The study collection of corals was relocated on the second floor in order to release space for exhibition purposes. Considerable time is spent each year by the exhibits staff and taxidermists making up and renovating skins and cleaning skeletons for the divisions concerned with the care of the vertebrate collections other than fishes. During the year 17 mammals were skinned and <<>> made up; 81 birds were skinned, in part degreased, and all made up; 4 birds were mounted; 2 Galapagos turtles were skinned and made up; and 6 alligator eggs were blown. For mammals, 2,255 skulls and 16 complete skeletons were cleaned ; for birds, 2 skulls and 110 skeletons were cleaned. Botany The portion of the herbarium in which the type specimens are housed has been expanded sufficiently this year to give temporary relief from overcrowding. A number of new bookcases has permitted the expansion and rearrangement of the Hitchcock and Chase Library and the department library, but expansion of the general herbarium has been delayed pending the delivery of a sufficient number of storage cases. The major activities in caring for the permanent collections and the processing of new material are summarized in the following table: 1958-1954 1954-1965 SHECIMENS!

Sel .rsigoel ies eee 99 299 Type specimens continue to be found in the general collections and incoming material. This year 525 types were segregated and added to the type herbarium, which now contains 54,928 types, including 38,688 phanerogams, 9,831 grasses, 3,277 ferns, and 3,132 cryptogams. The Hitchcock and Chase Library was increased by the addition of 18 publications, making a total of 7,067. The grass species index now contains 79,597 cards, 727 having been added during the year. Geology Franklin L. Pearce, exhibits preparator, has completed preparation of the collections of Paleocene and Eocene mammals from Wyoming which he and Dr. Gazin have collected during past field seasons. The appointment of Donald Guadagni to the laboratory staff permitted the preparation of lower vertebrate fossils, including the difficult and delicate cleaning of the rare embolomerous amphibian skull received in 1954. The entire Bison Basin Paleocene collection assembled in 1954 was cataloged. Improvement in the segregation and arrangement of the early Tertiary mammal collections and progress in the preparation of specimens of lower vertebrate fossils have been achieved. A backlog of preparation still exists, however, in the lower vertebrates and certain <<>> mammal remains transferred from the Smithsonian River Basin Surveys. The great bulk of invertebrate material in the collections and the small staff available to organize and arrange the collections restrict the progress that can be made in reducing the backlog of unassimilated material. The fossil sponge collection has benefited by the work of Robert Finks, a graduate student of Columbia University, who has undertaken some reorganization to facilitate his own research. The large accumulation of foraminiferal material on hand, resulting from collecting by Dr. A. R. Loeblich, Jr., is gradually being sorted and arranged. With the help of Curtis G. Mudgett, Francois Lascak, and Joan Bennett, many samples have been washed and concentrated, but a great many more remain to be processed. Since the completion of his monograph on Chazyan and related brachiopods, Dr. G. A. Cooper has incorporated the large quantity of described materials in their appropriate places in the biological collections. In connection with his studies on Permian brachiopods, he has continued the sorting, selection, and condensation of the Permian invertebrate collection. Approximately 300 drawers of specimens have been sorted and about the same number remains to be done. Dr. David Nicol has undertaken the reorganization of the Paleozoic pelecypod collection. This collection has never had a specialist to supervise it and consequently is in much need of revision and modern systematic arrangement. Dr. J. B. Knight has, with the help of Drs. Roger Batten and Ellis Yochelson, reorganized the fossil gastropod collection and revised and corrected the generic arrangement. The arrangement of the species still remains to be completed. In mineralogy the expansion necessitated by the rapid growth of the study collections of minerals was completed by James H. Benn and Robert Jones. Frank Holden reports the work of the lapidary shop as follows: 388 specimens of rocks, minerals, and ores cut and polished; 18 meteorites cut, polished, and etched; 98 thin sections prepared, and 29 plaster bases for mineral specimens cast and painted. Eight visitors interested in polishing techniques visited the lapidary shop. Engineering and Industries The care of collections in the department of engineering and industries was complicated during the year by the impact of the proerams of building renovation and modernization of exhibits. Among the resulting problems which the staff of the department met and solved were: the moving of collections in the storage court to provide working space for the mechanics, and the temporary storage there <<>> cf mechanic’s equipment; the moving of collections on exhibit to permit painting and the installation of lighting ; the removal and storage of exhibited material in the power machinery hall, the health hall, and the “chapel” to prepare for exhibits modernization; the shifting of offices and laboratories to provide enough space to set up an exhibits shop. Organization of the reference collection of the division of engineering in the storage court was continued. The metrology section is being centralized on the third floor of the storage court, and the tool collection on the first floor. Considerable improvement was made in locating and in recording the locations of the reference collection material. In connection with the restoration of the power hall, a number of damaged and incomplete models were repaired and restored. Restoration of automobiles and other vehicles has been the subject of discussion with prospective sponsors, and as a first step, the 1903 Cadillac has been removed for renovation. Orville Hagans of Denver, Colo., is assisting by repairing in his shop two of the Museum’s most interesting timekeepers, an organ clock and a Wenzel air clock. Dr. W. Barclay Stephens and Fred Rau of Alameda, Calif., have continued to assist the Museum in cleaning, repairing, and documenting watches in the timekeeping collection. Ralph E. Cropley of New York City spent several weekends and holidays in the Museum during the past year adding material to the outstanding collection of ship illustrations and data which he has presented. In preparation for the installation of new exhibits in graphic arts, about 250 specimens were removed from exhibition cases in the “chapel” and placed in storage. More than 450 damaged and otherwise poor objects were eliminated. About 150 prints were matted for better preservation. Selma Perry, clerk stenographer, improved the card catalog reference file for the etching collection. About 500 etchings formerly carded only by number were located and new entries made of the titles and etchers. In the section of photography a 5-ton air conditioning unit was installed in the workroom, print-storage, and print-library suite of the section of photography. Prints and rare books are now kept under constant temperature and humidity control. About 150 photographic specimens were removed from the northwest gallery and placed in the storage court. The project of organizing and classifying the materia-medica collection, which was begun last year, has now been completed. All specimens have been filed alphabetically into approximately 155 storage drawers, the drawers labeled, and the specimens now await movement to the new storage area. The students from two of Dr. Phillip V. Hammond’s pharmacognosy classes, Howard University College of <<>> Pharmacy, aided measurably in this project by assisting in the filing of the specimens. All specimens in the reference storage collections have been classified and grouped together by subject and moved to the storage court. During the year 527 specimens were condemned, 159 specimens were transferred to other divisions, and 52 returned to donors. An interesting sampler received this year in badly soiled condition was restored in the section of textiles. The canvas background appeared dark brown instead of natural tan and, when wet, the wool canvas was extremely weak and the colors in the silk embroidery bled. The sampler was placed for cleaning on several thicknesses of absorbent cloth. By using a small paint brush to wet only a very small area at each working period, the soil was flushed through the canvas and absorbed by the expendable absorbent cloth. Identification and mounting of textile specimens in the Museum collection by students of the University of Maryland, a project initiated in 1953, was continued, and 391 specimens were identified and mounted this year. The projected renovation of the health gallery necessitated a reexamination of a large number of specimens, stored on the gallery, from the former section of foods. Certain of these were selected for retention and the remainder are being held for disposal. Many duplicates from the large Krukoff collection of Brazilian woods, previously stored in several places, were brought together; and 200 recently received woods were cut and numbered. History The work of restoring and refinishing the specimens to be exhibited in the new First Ladies Hall overshadowed all other work in preservation of the collections of the division of civil history. It was necessary to wash, clean, polish all the silver, china, glassware and other ornamental pieces used in the alcove cases and the rooms. Lach dress in the collection was repaired, pressed, and renovated and each mannequin was painted to improve its appearance. The furniture installed in the cases was cleaned, oiled, polished, and in some instances refinished before being placed in the new setting. Necessary repair work was done in the cabinet shop by Ewald O. Bankmann and the refinishing of the pieces by Wilbert Perry, laborer, working under the supervision of Museum Aide Frank E. Klapthor. Special attention might be called to the crest of the mirror owned by the Washington family which is exhibited in the first room. Mr. Bankmann made the necessary repairs on pieces of the crest which were in storage and restored them so that they could be placed at the top of the mirror. Benjamin Lawless cleaned the frame and the <<>> original parts of the crest, gold-leafed the new parts of the crest, and antiqued the new gold leaf to match the old. This restoration was completed so successfully that comparison of the mirror with a photograph taken before restoration is required to detect the restored parts. In the division of military and naval history, the usual precautions against damage by insects were taken. The completion of the storage area over the new First Ladies Hall will allow the removal of civil history material to this area, freeing two storage rooms on the west gallery for military and naval history. Some of the very large and heavy specimens which will not be exhibited in the near future were placed in storage. The usual problems encountered in maintaining numismatic exhibits are caused by dirt, fading, tarnishing, heat, and insects. Most of the 109 exhibit cases in the coin hall are well over 100 years old (they were made in 1838 for the coin room of the United States Mint, in Philadelphia), but they are probably as satisfactory as any but the more modern cases which are provided with ventilation. A start has been made in the program of remounting philatelic specimens, though of necessity this has had to be secondary to consideration of their preservation. The United States section has been completely removed from display, examined for damage, and placed in new stockbooks. Specimens have been examined by such authorities as Julius Stolow, Finbar Kenny, Robert Meyersburg, and others for accuracy of classification and for condition. The entire United States section is now being remounted and will soon be placed on clisplay. <<>> Investigation and Research Anthropology Physical Anthropology.—Plans for the curator of physical anthropology, Dr. T. Dale Stewart, to study skeletal aging based on the remains of American soldiers killed in North Korea matured during the summer of 1954. At the request of the Department of the Army, Dr. Stewart was engaged for 414 months on this project. While in Japan he examined a series of 450 skeletons and recorded a comprehensive series of measurements. The data obtained include casts and photographs of skeletal elements regarded as critical in the aging process. These records and casts were forwarded to Washington, and arrangements were made with the Office of the Quartermaster General to have an anthropologist detailed to aid in their analysis. In a study of trephined Inca skulls, Dr. Stewart was attracted by the signs of osteitis sometimes surrounding the surgical openings in the bone. From his observations, both here and in Pera, Dr. Stewart concluded that the pattern of osteitis is indicative of the extent of the primitive surgical opening through the scalp and may have resulted from remedies applied to the bone. In addition to his research activities, Dr. Stewart served as one of the American delegates to the Third Inter-American Conference on Indian Life, which met in La Paz, Bolivia, August 2-13, 1954; he represented the Smithsonian Institution at the 31st Inter-American Congress of Americanists which met at Sao Paulo, Brazil, August 22-28, 1954; and he was elected president of the American Institute of Human Paleontology. Associate Curator Marshall T. Newman completed a paper entitled “The Significance of Racial and Ecological Factors in Public Health Studies of South American Indians,” which was presented in Spanish at the Third Inter-American Conference on Indian Life. For a report by J. D. Jennings, G. R. Willey, and himself, “The Indian Mounds at Ormand Beach, Florida,” he prepared a section on skeletal material. He also completed the basic work on a study of the relationship of body surface in man to climate. This study is based on original measurements taken by Dr. C. R. Jones on the Wai-Wai Indians of British Guiana, and on comparable material in the literature. <<>> INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH Di Archeology.—Curator Waldo R. Wedel completed three manuscripts, two of them in co-authorship. Under the title of “Changing Settlement Patterns in the Great Plains,” he reviewed archeological and ethnohistorical data on the native occupations of the North American Plains during the past 10,000 years, outlined the development of cultures from the earliest hunting through the foraging to the corn-growing peoples, and pointed out the environmental and other factors probably responsible for the observed changes in settlement patterns. In another paper, prepared jointly with Marvin F. Kivett and entitled “Additional Data on the Woodruff Ossuary (14PH4), Phillips County, Kansas,” he supplemented the site report in River Basin Surveys Paper No. 3 with data that include a carbon-14 date of A. D. 611+240 and an identification of trees from charred wood samples found in the burial site. The date is of interest because it is the first determination made from material identifiable with a defined Plains Woodland culture horizon, the antiquity of which has heretofore been uncertain. The trees suggest a marginal hardwood forest not substantially different from those of today. Dr. Wedel also added historical and ethnohistorical data to his continuing investigation of Kansas archeology. He also prepared, with George B. Griffenhagen, curator of medicine and public health, a paper, “An English Balsam Among the Dakota Aborigines,” which deals with the appearance in archeological sites of dated bottles that contained an early patent medicine, Turlington’s Balsam of Life. Associate Curator Clifford Evans and Dr. Betty J. Meggers, honorary research associate, participated in the South American archeology section of the 31st International Congress of Americanists. They presented four papers: ‘“Filiacdes das Culturas da Ilha de Marajo,” by Betty J. Meggers, “Filiagoes das Culturas do Territorio do Amapa, Brasil,” by Clifford Evans, and in joint authorship “Preliminary Results of Archeological Investigations in British Guiana” and “Culture Areas in South America, an Archeological Point of View.” During September and October 1954, Drs. Evans and Meggers conducted stratigraphic archeological excavations in three major areas of the Guayas Basin of Ecuador. This field work, carried cut in collaboration with Sr. Emilio Estrada of Guayaquil, made it possible to place his extensive collections into a chronological sequence on the basis of deep stratigraphic excavations in village site refuse deposits. On their return to Washington they completed their classification and description of the 50,000 pottery sherds obtained from the 1952-53 archeological investigations in British Guiana. George Metcalf, museum aid, completed a report, “Sites in and about Fort Berthold Reservation, Garrison Reservoir, North Dakota,” which <<>> is concerned with field investigations made for the Missouri Valley Project of the Smithsonian River Basin Surveys. A second report “Additional Data from the Dodd and Philip Ranch Sites, South Dakota,” describes a number of artifact types recognized by him among materials from this site transferred to the national collections. Neil M. Judd, research associate, carried forward his analysis of materials collected in Chaco Canyon for the National Geographic Society and has nearly completed his report on the material culture of the Pueblo del Arroyo site. Hthnology.—Curator Herbert W. Krieger completed a study on the Lucayan Indians of Bahama Island that is based on materials recoyered by the Ernest N. May-Smithsonian Expedition in 1936-87, and on contemporary historical documentation. Additional research by the curator now in progress includes a study of historical Indian tribes of the Antilles and of historic Indian village sites associated with the first voyage of Columbus and with La Isabela, the first planned Spanish settlement in the New World. Associate Curator John C. Ewers prepared a paper, on the methods and procedures followed in exhibits modernization of the Museum’s new American Indian hall. The paper was read before the WennerGren Conference on Museum Problems, held at the University of Pennsylvania. He has also completed the groundwork for a paper on the George Catlin collection of paintings of North American Indians of the West, based on these paintings in the U. S. National Museum. Associate Curator C. Malcolm Watkins devoted 6 weeks to a study of colonial ceramics at the National Park Service Laboratory at Jamestown, Va., under a grant from the Jamestown-WilliamsburgYorktown Celebration Commission. This investigation is intended to throw light on colonial culture and to serve as a standard for archeologists specializing in the excavation of historic village sites. In a paper prepared for publication in the magazine Antiques, Mr. Watkins described, from specimens in the Old Sturbridge Village collection, the characteristic lighting devices of New England rural towns in the early 1800’s. Research by visiting investigators.—During the year 4,189 visitors requested information and conferred with staff members on anthropological problems; 4,262 letters were written, and 11,535 telephonic inquiries were answered. Among the distinguished visitors and scientists from foreign countries who used the collections were the following: Dr. Yuzuro Okada, Hditor of the Jap-| Dr. D. Diringer, University of Camanese Journal of BHthnology and bridge, England: American Indian Professor of Hthnology at the Univerpictographic writing. sity of Tokyo: Hthnology of Formosa.

Antonio Krapovickas, Ministry of Agrieulture of Argentina: Study of the archeological peanut specimens from Perti and Chile. Drs. EH. E. Johns, Kingston, Ontario, and David J. E. Mitchell, Peterborough, Ontario: Dental occlusion in Indian and Hskimo skulls. Zoology Mammals.—Two major studies were brought to completion during the year and notable progress was made cn other long-term projects. Dr. David H. Johnson, acting curator, continued his studies of eastern Asiatic mammals and, at the request of the Commission on Hemorrhagic Fever, Armed Forces Epidemiological Board, and with the assistance of Lt. J. Knox Jones, Jr., U. S. A., he undertook a review of Korean mammals based mainly on specimens collected by Army field teams between 1952 and 1954. Associate Curator Henry W. Setzer, submitted for publication his final report on mammals from the Anglo-EKgyptian Sudan. This thorough study of the fauna of the Sudan increased the number of known genera of land mammals of that area, other than bats, from 30 to 50; 29 species and subspecies were found to be new. Considerable progress on a similar report on Kgyptian mammals, also collected by Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3, was made by Dr. Setzer. Associate Curator Charles O. Handley, Jr., completed a revision of the American plecotine bats, a contribution providing the first clear indication of the relationship of recent New World species to the Old World and fossil forms. He also completed a report on the mammals of the Dismal Swamp for the Virginia Academy of Sciences, made further progress on a systematic study of the mammals of the Kalahari Desert of South-West Africa, the mammals of the high Arctic, the marsupials of Central America, and the bats of the genus Dasypterus. During the year Dr. Handley completed the requirements for a doctorate in zoology from the University of Michigan and in June was granted the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Birds.—Curator Herbert Friedmann completed a paper on parasitic reproduction in African cuckoos, based on information assembled since the publication in 1948 of his book on this subject, and completed <<>> 2 report dealing with a recently discovered drawing of the extinct Mauritian dodo and with the evidence his study brought to light con- erning the early observers and illustrators of this bird. His investigation of the digestion of beeswax by honey-g ides, pursued under a special grant from the Guggenheim Foundation, revealed that the splitting of the wax is due to microorganisms flourishing in the intestines of the birds and not to any avian enzymes. It is now known that there is a synergistic relation between the two wax-splitting microorganisms discovered. Dr. Friedmann also worked on the second volume of the “Birds of Mexico” and on the fifth edition of “A. O. U. Check List of North American Birds,” and revised part of the manuscript on the birds of Gaboon, a study made jointly with Dr. A. L. Rand of the Chicago Natural History Museum. Associate Curator Horbort G Deignan brought the manuscript of his critical catalog of the type specimens of birds in the Museum up to date and continued his studies on the birds of Thailand, revising various groups of species where new data or additional specimens made such action necessary. So far he has completed the accounts of I] the non-passerine groups. Germen * Bond muse-m side. revised the ‘dentifications and the semenelot re fer a forthcoming ‘taxonomic publication on the birds of Maryland) Dr. We*more, research associate. who collected over 1,000 specimens during his 3 months’ field trip to Panama this year, continued his work on the fifth edition of the “A. O. U. Check List of North American Birds” and also studied the Panamanian and Colombian collections of birds he has amassed during the past 15 years. Reptiles and Amphibians.—The catalog of type material in the Museum division of reptiles and amphibians, being prepared by Dr. Doris M. Cochran, associate curator, nears completion; it will contain about 2,000 names of types, references to the original descriptions, present synonyms, and a list of cotypes and paratypes in the national collections. Work on the monographic account of the frogs of western Brazil awaits the arrival of additional material from the University of Sao Paulo. Dr. Cochran’s report on the frogs of southeastern Brazil was published and distributed on June 22, 1955. Fishes.—Drs. Leonard P. Schultz, curator, and Ernest A. Lachner, associate curator, continued work on volume 2 of “The Fishes of the Marshall and Marianas Islands.” At the end of the year this volume, which now includes 32 families, 110 genera, and 265 species, was 92 percent complete. Two papers, “The Golden Tetra, a New Species of Hemigrammus from British Guiana” and “Know Your Australian Rainbowfishes,” were published by Dr. Schultz during the year. Three others were completed and submitted for publication: “Revision of the Parrotfishes, Family Scaridae, of the World”; “Handbook of Tropical Aquarium Fishes” (with H. A. Axelrod); and “A <<>> new Pinecone Fish, Monocentris reedi, from Chile, a New Family Record for the Eastern Pacific.” About 90 percent completed is a world-wide revision of the frogfishes, family Antennariidae. Dr. Lachner published one paper, “Inquilinism and a New Record for Paramia bipunctata, a Cardinalfish from the Red Sea,” and completed two others: “Populations of the Berycoid Fish Family Polymixiidae” and “a Revision of the Shark-Suckers, Family Echeneidae.” During September 1954 Dr. Lachner, assisted by Frank Schwartz of the University of Pittsburgh, collected several thousand fishes and a number of crayfish in promotion of his projected study of the fresh-water fishes of the mountain streams of Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia. He was also granted a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship for a 4-months’ study of certain tropical marine fishes in European museums; and was elected vice-president of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. Robert H. Kanazawa, biological aide, has expanded to include related genera his world revision of the eel genus Conger, which he has had under way for the past two years. Imsects.—Curator J. F. Gates Clarke completed a revision of the Neotropical moths of the genus Orthocomotis and continued with his study of the Meyrick types of Microlepidoptera in the British Museum of Natural History, of which the first two volumes of the eventual six appears during the year. Also in progress are his studies of the Microlepidoptera of the Juan Fernandez Islands (Chile) and of Micronesia, and his revision of the American moths of the family Phaloniidae. Dr. Clarke in May 1955 started an extended field trip to the Pacific Northwest Associate Curator O. L. Cartwright completed an extensive revision of the scarab beetles of the genus Psammodius and made further progress with his studies of the beetles of the genus Ataenius and of the genus Onthophagus, suspected of being the intermediate hosts of parasites of domestic animals. Also in progress are reports on the Scarabaeidae of Micronesia and of Bimini. Associate Curator William D. Field continued his studies of the Neotropical Lycaenidae (Theclinae) (hair streaks) and the genera Constachila, Phulia, Piercolias, and Baltica (Pieridae). Miss Grace Glance pursued her study of the Isotomidae. Marine Inveriebrates.—Curator Fenner A. Chace, Jr., prepared a report on the decapod and stomatopod crustaceans of Los Roques and the neighboring islands of Venezuela, based on collections received from the Sociedad de Ciencias Naturales La Salle, in Caracas. He also compiled a list of certain crustaceans identified from collections made by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service vessel Oregon in the Gulf of Mexico from 1950 through 1954. His study of the porcellanid crabs of West Africa, in progress since 1948, is nearing completion. <<>> Associate Curator Frederick M. Bayer completed five manuscripts, chiefly on the octocorallians, including a chapter on the Octocorallia for the “Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology.” In June 1955 he joined an expedition to the Palau Islands sponsored jointly by the George Vanderbilt Foundation and the Office of Naval Research. Mr. Bayer will be responsible for the invertebrate investigations of the expedition during a 4-months’ stay on Koror. Associate Curator Thomas E. Bowman completed two manuscripts since joining the staff in August 1954, one on a new copepod from the northeastern Pacific and the other a description of a new species of the isopod genus Chiridotea. Dr. Bowman is currently engaged in an extensive study of the calanoid copepods collected off the southeastern United States by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife vessel Theodore N. Gull. Clarence R. Shoemaker, associate in zoology, completed 5 manuscripts during his 81st year, and is now occupied with a revision of the amphipods of the family Haustoriidae. Dr. J. Percy Moore, collaborator, who is still actively working on the morphology and systematics of leeches at the age of 86, during the year edited with Marvin C. Meyer a translation from the Russian of an extensive treatise on leeches by W. D. Selensky. Dr. Moore is currently working on the anatomy and systematics of some leeches from the Museum and the University of Natal, South Africa, as well as on a large collection of leeches, mostly of the genus Helobddella, from Lake Titicaca. Mrs. Mildred S$. Wilson, collaborator in copepod Crustacea, has completed two manuscripts on new species of copepods of the genus Diaptomus, from Louisiana, and is preparing a taxonomic report on the copepods of Lake Pontchartrain. During the year, 23 specialists in other institutions undertook to identify material of various groups of invertebrates for the Museum. The individuals who so kindly rendered this service and the groups on which they work are: Dr. Donald P. Abbott: Tunicates. Dr. A. Weir Bell: Oligochaete worms. Dr. David Causey : Oligochaete worms. Mrs. May Belle Chitwood: Nematomorph worms. Dr. Elisabeth Deichmann: rians. Mr. A. Goldberg: Nematomorph worms. Dr. Olga Hartman: Polychaete worms. Dr. Willard D. Hartman: Sponges. Dr. Dora P. Henry: Barnacles. Dr. Horton H. Hobbs, Jr.: Crayfishes. Dr. Libbie H. Hyman: Flatworms. . Paul L. Illg: Copepod crustaceans. Dr. Karl Lang: Tanaid crustaceans. Holothu- Dr. J. G.

Pettibone: Polychaete worms. Dr. Edward G. Reinhard: Rhizocephalan crustaceans. Mr. Bryce C. Walton: Leeches. Dr. John W. Wells: Hydrocorals. Dr. Austin B. Williams: Decapod crustaceans. <<>> Mollusks.—Curator Harald A. Rehder made progress on his revision of the superfamily Pyramidellacea for the “Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology.” Associate Curator J. P. E. Morrison continued his studies on the families Ellobiidae, Cyclophoridae, and Amphicyclotidae of America, and worked on the Hydrobiidae. Dr. R. Tucker Abbott, associate curator, was occupied, until his resignation in November to accept a position at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, with researches on the Assimineidae of the western Pacific. Research by visiting investigators.—In addition to investigators from Federal agencies located in the Washington area, more than 180 professional biologists and students with an interest in systematic zoology paid one or more visits to the offices and laboratories of the department, some staying for considerable time. Among the foreign visitors and their fields of interest were the following: Dr. Kamal Wassif, Ibrahim University, ; Dr. A.

Smith prepared and submitted for publication a report on his most recent Fijian explorations, and also a discussion of the significance of the phanerogam genera that have distributions terminating in Fiji. Between April 15 and June 30 he was transferred to the staff of the National Science Foundation to act as Program Director for Systematic Biology during the absence from that position of Dr. William C. Steere. Dr. Smith was elected to serve as president of the American Society of Plant Taxonomists. Dr. L. B. Smith, associate curator, has continued his studies toward a Flora of Colombia by the publication of a paper, “Revisio Violacearum Colombiae,” in joint authorship with Dr. A. Fernandez <<>> Pérez, of the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Bogota. He has nearly completed a manuscript treating the more than 350 species of Colombian Bromeliaceae. During the year he has been seeing through press a comprehensive paper on “The Bromeliaceae of Brazil,” discussing over 570 species and with 128 illustrations prepared by Dr. Robert J. Downs of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Besides its taxonomic interest, this paper provides a basis for research in bromeliad malaria, and has considerable horticultural application because of the high proportion of ornamental species of the family in Brazil. With Father Raulino Reitz, he has been studying the flora of the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil, and with Dr. Downs he prepared a treatment of the Rubiaceae of Santa Catarina for publication in Sellowia, the journal of the Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues,” edited by Father Reitz. Associate Curator E. H. Waiker, in collaboration with Dr. F. R. Fosberg, completed and submitted for publication a third supplement to a preliminary checklist of plants in the Shenandoah National Park. He continued to progress in his studies of the genus Corylopsis (Hamamelidaceae) and in a study of the Myrsinaceae of Taiwan. The latter project follows naturally after a critical study of the Myrsinaceae of Japan (published this year) and of the Ryukyu Islands (now in press). His principal research effort has been directed toward the preparation of a “Flora of Okinawa and the southern Ryukyu Islands,” which is essentially a new edition of the “Flora of Okinawa, an enumeration of the plants of Okinawa and Sakishima archipelagos in the Ryukyu Islands,” by S. Sonohara, S. Tawada, and T. Amano (1952, edited by E. H. Walker). The current work was started in 1954 at the request of the U. S. Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands, U. S. Army, because of the unexpectedly early exhaustion of the supply of the earlier Flora and the urgent need for a new edition. Associate Curator E. C. Leonard continued his work on part 3 and the supplement of his comprehensive study of the Acanthaceae of Colombia. Revisions were completed for 11 of the 15 genera to be treated. An annotated list of the plants growing in the Potomac Triassic Area of Virginia, to be included in a paper on the floristics of that region by H. A. Allard and Mr. Leonard, has been essentially completed. Dr. Velva E. Rudd, associate curator, completed her “Revision of the genus Vissolia,” part of a study of the subtribe Aeschynomeninae of the family Leguminosae, of which the first paper, “The American species of Aeschynomene,” is now in press as a Contribution from the U. S. National Herbarium. Two more papers are planned to complete the series. <<>> Research Associate EK. P. Kallip, continued to make valuable collections of plants in Cuba and southern Florida, and during his visits to Washington prepared duplicates for distribution, thus adding substantially to the material sent out in exchange by the division. Grasses.—Curator Jason R. Swallen continued his studies on the grasses of southern Brazil, and completed for publication “Notes on Honduras grasses.” His “Grasses of Guatemala,” is being published by the Chicago Natural History Museum. Associate Curator Ernest R. Schns, published a paper on fascicle morphology in Cenchrus and Pennisetum. 'Two collecting trips were made to México during the past year. The first was to the State of San Luis Potosi in September and October. Over 2,200 specimens, mostly grasses, were collected throughout the State. Special attention was given to the Sierra de San Miguelito and the Sierra de Guadaleazar. Besides numerous range extensions, one very rare grass genus (Calamochloa) was found for the second time in the Sierra de Guadalcazar. This grass, represented by an inadequate specimen in the Paris Museum, was collected by the French mineralogist, Pierre Virlet d’Aoust, in 1881. Not only is the genus a rare endemic, but the single species is dioecious. It is being redescribed and illustrated. In March, a trip was made to Lake Miramar in the State of Chiapas in collaboration with El Centro de Investigaciones Antropdlogicas de México. Over 650 specimens were collected in the Lacandon Forest near the lake. Many of the grasses, mostly hygrophilous forest species, were new records for the State and one species was new to México. Mrs. Agnes Chase, research associate, continued to devote her full time to editing and verifying the index to grass species prior to their being typed. Approximately 40,000 cards, or half the index, have been completed. Dr. F. A. McClure, research associate, assembled the materials for a taxonomic treatment of the bamboos of southern Brazil. Under the auspices of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, he continued work on a manual for the field identification of bamboos of the genus Phyllostachys in cultivation in the United States. Under a 3-year grant from the National Science Foundation, Mrs. Walter T. Swingle is collaborating with Dr. McClure in the acquisition and processing of bamboo literature with special reference to the documentation and clarification of species. Ferns.—Curator C. V. Morton continued during the first four months of the current fiscal year his work in Europe as a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. During this period he examined many thousands of sheets of ferns, especially <<>> from tropical America, and photographed 8,111 type specimens and other authentic material. These photographs will form a valuable tool for future taxonomic studies. Throughout the work he was given every facility and encouragement by the staffs of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, the Rijksherbarium, Leiden, the British Museum (Natural History), London, the Conservatoire et Jardin Botaniques, Geneva, the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Stockholm, the Staatsinstitut fiir allgemeine Botanik, Hamburg, the Botanical Museum and Herbarium, Copenhagen, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Botanisch Museum, Utrecht, and the Jardin Botanique de VEtat, Brussels. Cry ptogams.—Associate Curator Paul Conger continued with his studies of the diatom flora and ecology of Chincoteague Bay, Md. He also continued with a monographic study of the important diatom genus Grammatophora and with the accumulation of notes on abnormalities in diatoms. : Research by visiting investigators.— During May and June, Father Raulino Reitz of the Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues,” Itajai, Santa Catarina, Brazil, made intensive studies of the herbarium material and literature in the department in connection with the preparation of a flora of the State of Santa Catarina. In October, Miss Nancy Burbidge of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, Canberra, Australia, studied for three weeks on the identification of introduced grasses in Australia, especially species of Paspalum. During June, V. D. Zotov, Botany Division, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, Christchurch, New Zealand, examined the collections of New Zealand grasses in the herbarium, especially types, in preparing for a monograph of the family in New Zealand. Dr. Kittie F. Parker, formerly of the University of Arizona, continued her research on the western flora and in the family Compositae. Others who spent short periods at the herbarium were L. A. Garay, University of Toronto, Arland T. Hotchkiss, University of Sydney, Australia, J. M. Idrobo, Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Bogoté, Colombia, and Antonio Krapovickas, Buenos Aires, Argentina. More than 750 persons visited the herbarium, usually seeking scientific information. The collections of the department continue to be an important source of reference material for staff members of other Government agencies, particularly the Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior. Thirteen informal loans with 2,821 specimens were made to local agencies, mostly to the Department of Agriculture. <<>> Geology Mineralogy and petrology.—Several collateral problems connected with the study of the mineralogical nature of Meso-American jade have occupied the attention of Head Curator W. F. Foshag. One of these relates to the Aztec stone chalchihuitl, and the identification of its varieties as defined by the early chroniclers. A study of a newly discovered occurrence of jadeite in Guatemala has been completed. It probably was a source of jade for some of the ancient indigenous cultures of Meso-America. A study of a new mineral species, an oxychloride of aluminum, from the fumaroles of Paricutin volcano has been completed. Dr. Foshag continued as president of the Section of Volcanology, Petrology, and Geochemistry of the American Geophysical Union. A study of the hexahedrite type of meteorites has been undertaken by Associate Curator EK. P. Henderson to determine accurately their chemical composition and to compare their metallographic structures and their accessory minerals with a view to determining if these meteorites have a common origin. He is also studying the occurrence, composition, properties, and associations of the accessory mineral cohenite, an iron carbide, in order to learn if there is any correlation between its presence and the composition of the meteorite. Dr. S. H. Perry, associate in mineralogy, at the close of the year presented to the Museum his library of meteorite publications and the remainder of his meteorite collection. His large 9-album collection of photomicrographs of iron meteorite structures, previously presented to the Museum, will be a source of information for many years to come. A study of the origin of ore-forming solutions of the Iron Springs district, Utah, continues to occupy the efforts of Dr. George Switzer, associate curator, who is working in collaboration with Dr. J. Hoover Mackin of the U.S. Geological Survey. The results of this investigation should prove useful in the exploration of these economically important iron ore deposits and others of a similar nature. An investigation of the nature of the minerals composing the tests of various fossil micro-organisms, carried out in collaboration with Dr. A. J. Boucot of the U. S. Geological Survey, has been completed. Work has been begun on an investigation of two new mineral species; paradamite, a zinc arsenate from México; and galeite, a sodium fluoridesulfate from California. Dr. Switzer prepares, annually, a review of the diamond industry, widely used by government agencies, commercial organizations, and others interested in the many phases of the diamond industry. He also prepares, in collaboration with Mr. R. T. Thompson of the U. S. Bureau of Mines, the Gem Stone Chapter of the Minerals Year Book. <<>> Dr. John P. Marble, associate in mineralogy, as chairman of the Committee on the Measurement of Geologic Time, of the National Research Council, prepared the annual summary on the advances in radiochemistry and geochronology for 1953-1954, including a comprehensive annotated bibliography of the works published in these fields during the year. He also continued as general secretary, and chairman of the editorial and publications committee of the American Geophysical Union, and as official delegate attended the 10th general assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics at Rome. On June 6, 1955, the Department of Geology lost, through death, the valuable services and stimulating associations of Dr. Marble, who had. served as research associate in the division of mineralogy and petrology since 1948. Invertebrate palentology and paleobotany.—Karly in the year Curator G. A. Cooper, working in collaboration with Dr. H. M. MuirWood of the British Museum, completed a revision of the genera of the Productacea, a large group of fossil spiny brachiopods. ‘The work includes both the taxonomy of the group, and discussions concerning morphological variations, paleoecology, and life habits and processes. In addition, Dr. Cooper described a collection of brachiopods from Arizona, a rare occurrence in American Cretaceous rocks. Work was continued by Dr. Cooper on the description of Permian brachiopods from Oregon. ‘This fauna is related to the Russian Permian forms, and is new to the United States. In preparation for his study of the Permian brachiopods of the Glass Mountains of Texas, considerable time was spent in the sorting and organizing of the material obtained by the etching of the silicified forms from limestone blocks. The superb material recovered will yield much information on the anatomy of the animals, their life habits, and their ecological environment. Associate Curator Alfred R. Loeblich, Jr., and Research Associate Helen Tappan Loeblich have worked continuously on the Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology (Foraminifera), a natural classification of the Foraminifera based on phylogeny and geological occurrence, with definitive descriptions of all known genera, each description accompanied by precisely executed drawings. About 1,500 genera of smaller Foraminifera will be included in the work. In addition, they have published a revision of some Recent foraminiferal genera. Mrs. Loeblich has completed studies on Jurassic Foraminifera from Alaska, and has in preparation a volume on Cretaceous Foraminifera. Associate Curator David Nicol completed and published an analysis of the Arctic marine pelecypod fauna and its significance in ecological interpretation, and is continuing morphological studies of the bizarre and unusual Paleozoic genus Conocardium. <<>> Dr. J. B. Knight, research associate in paleontology, continued work on the Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology (Gastropoda), a classification with definitive descriptions and illustrations of all known genera of Paleozoic gastropods. He was assisted in this by Drs. Roger Batten and Ellis Yochelson. The studies of Dr. R. §. Bassler, research associate in paleontology, on Ordovician cystids have been delayed by a serious accident suffered by him. His project is almost completed. Vertebrate paleontology.—Curator C. L. Gazin completed and submitted for publication a description and taxonomic revision of the upper Eocene artiodactyls, or even-toed ungulates, of North America. These include 6 families, 18 genera, and 35 species. It isin the Hocene epoch that the origins of the artiodactyl families are to be found, and this study will help to determine the phylogenetic sequences leading to the better known Oligocene forms. Dr. Gazin also completed his description of the Paleocene mammalian fauna of the Bison Basin in Wyoming, a study that yielded 19 new species and 2 new genera. During the early summer of 1954 Dr. Gazin, accompanied by Mr. F. L. Pearce, carried on field work in the Paleocene beds of the Bison Basin of Wyoming, and the lower Eocene Knight formation of the Washakie, Great Divide, and upper Green River Basins. Dr. Gazin continued to serve as chairman of the Eocene subcommittee of the committee of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology preparing a new “Nomenclature and Correlation of the North American Continental Tertiary,” a cooperative project, the results of which will be published by the Geological Society as a memoir. Associate Curator D. H. Dunkle, who has been engaged on the planning of the new exhibition hall of lower vertebrate fossils, made some progress on his program of research, which includes as its major projects the detailed study of the fossil fish fauna of the middle Hocene Green River shales, and the Mesozoic origins of teleostean or common fishes from holostean, or ray-finned fishes. A description of a remarkable specimen of a pleuropterygian shark preserved 3-dimensionally in a phosphate nodule from the upper Devonian Chattanooga shale of Tennessee was completed in collaboration with Dr. Stuart W. Maher of the Tennessee Geological Survey. Working in collaboration with Dr. Bobb Schaeffer he also completed a study of sharks, lung-fishes, and ray-finned fishes represented in collections from seven new occurrences in Brazil. During the summer of 1954 Dr. Dunkle carried on a search for fossil fish and reptiles near Paris, Idaho; Cody, Wyo., and Logan and Monticello, Utah. Later, with Exhibits Worker Donald Guadagni, he <<>> explored the Cretaceous chalk beds of Kansas for fine examples of fossil fish and other vertebrate forms suitable for exhibition. Research by outside investigators——Among investigators other than those of government agencies, who have assisted the department of geology with the study of Museum material, and who in turn have received help from the staff and the collections, are: Dr. T. W. Amsden, The Johns Hopkins University, who is studying a collection of Silurian (St. Clair) brachiopods from Arkansas; Dr. Franco Rasetti, of the same university, who continued his studies of Cambrian fossils; Dr. Norman D. Newell, American Museum of Natural History, who is monographing a large collection of silicified pelecypods from west Texas belonging to the National Museum; Dr. Harry B. Whittington, Harvard University, who is now busy with studies of family groups, other than those described in 1954, represented in the silicified residues from Strasburg, Va.; Drs. Roger Batten and Ellis Yochelson, who as graduate students of Columbia University collaborated with Dr. Knight on Permian gastropod studies; Dr. Francis G. Stehli, California Institute of Technology, who is studying some terebratuloid brachiopod collections; Dr. A. K. Miller, University of Iowa, who is studying the Museum’s large collection of Permian ammonoids from the Glass Mountains; and Dr. C. O. Dunbar, Yale University, who is studying the fusulines (Foraminifera) from the Permian of the Glass Mountains, Tex. The following students of Foraminifera visited and studied at the Museum: Dr. Cesare Emiliani, University of Chicago; Dr. J. C. Troelsen, University of Copenhagen; Noel Brown, Jr., Cuban Gulf Oil Company, Havana, Cuba; Dr. Hans Bolli, Pointe-a-Pierre, Trinidad, B. W. I.; Mr. Y. Nagappa, Digboi, Assam, India; Dr. Eugenie Montanaro-Gallitelli, University of Modena, Italy; Dr. Frank E. Lozo, Houston, Tex.; and Dr. L. W. LeRoy, Golden, Colo. Investigators who made use of the vertebrate paleontology collections during the past year to further their research projects include: Dr. J. LeRoy Kay, Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, who made extensive comparisons of his important collection of Green River Eocene mammals from Utah, with the Museum’s extensive Bridger Hocene collections from Wyoming; Gordon Edmond, of the Royal Ontario Museum, who studied and photographed a number of specimens pertinent to his investigation of tooth succession in the reptiles; Dr. John Clark of Princeton University, who reviewed Oligocene and Miocene artiodactyl] materials and examined the Chadronian mammals in connection with his studies of faunal sequences in the Chadron formation. <<>> Kingineering and Industries Engineering.—A descriptive account of the history of the development of power machinery was prepared by Dr. R. P. Multhauf, associate curator, in connection with the design of the power machinery hall, for use as a guide to this hall. He is engaged in the first stage of the preparation of a catalog of the metrology collection, and he collaborated with Museum Aide Don H. Berkebile in research leading to the design and construction of models of a number of power machines, plans of which no longer exist. ‘This research thus far has led to the construction of models of a steam engine of John Fitch and a boiler of Oliver Evans. Associate Curator S. H. Oliver’s manuscript, “The First QuarterCentury of Steam Locomotives in North America: Remaining Relics and Operable Replicas, with a Catalog of Locomotive Models in the U.S. National Museum,” was completed in March and submitted for publication. Kenneth M. Perry, associate curator of electricity, continued identifying, documenting, and describing the electrical measuring instruments in the Museum collections. A number of the more than 50 such devices treated during the year represented part of the large collection recently presented to the Museum by the Western Electrical Instrument Corp. Crafis and industries.—Curator William N. Watkins continued his investigation of woods used in old and rare furniture in an effort to determine their origins. He assisted Colonial Williamsburg and The Henry Francis Du Pont Winterthur Museum in their quest for accurate determinations of wood origins, and give similar assistance to the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Collection, Williamsburg. In her search for additional unpublished information on the Scholfield wool carding machine of 1793, Assistant Curator Grace L. Rogers visited the Baker Library, Harvard University, the Rhode Island Historical Society, and old Slater Mill, allin New England, and the Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Mich. Original manuscripts were reviewed and old company records searched for verification of its history. Several Scholfield machines examined will be described in the article on the subject. Edward C. Kendall, associate curator, investigated the European origins of 17thand 18th-century American plow types. Aided by a generous grant’ from Deere and Company he visited a number of historical and technical museums in western Europe. His examination of these collections, particularly in Scandinavia, Holland, Germany, and Great Britain, brought out the fact that American plows <<>> in use in the 18th century were distinctively different from their Kuropean counterparts. The information acquired will be presented in articles on the origin of American plow types, on the Hohenheim plow model collection, on the original appearance of the John Deere steel plow of 1837, and on the types of plows used on the Mount Vernon estate of George Washington. Medicine and public health.—Curator George B. Griffenhagen completed his catalog of apothecary shop restorations on exhibition in the United States. The catalog, which included descriptions of 28 restorations from Massachusetts to California, was published by the American Pharmaceutical Association under the title of “Karly American Pharmacies,” and was distributed to all members of the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy. Also completed was a study, carried on in cooperation with Dr. Waldo Wedel, curator of archeology, that commenced as an investigation into the significance of ‘Turlington’s Balsam bottles found in archeological sites in the Dakotas. One of the early popular patent medicines used in the colonies, Turlington’s Balsam of Life is an outstanding example of the beginnings of patent medicines in America. Curator Griffenhagen gave considerable attention to the history and evolution of pharmaceutical equipment such as the pill machine, mortar and pestle, pharmaceutical balance, and the drug container. Few pieces of pharmaceutical equipment have been treated in separate historical studies such as these, and the project, which will include a descriptive catalog of the pharmaceutical collections in the division of medicine and public health and an annotated bibliography, will provide a much needed reference source to aid in documenting antique pharmaceutical equipment. Other research in progress includes a history of the mechanical heart, being written with the cooperation of Calvin H. Hughes, research biologist at the Research Laboratories Division of General Motors Corporation, and a study of the medical equipment and supples of the American Revolutionary Armies, undertaken in cooperation with Robert Davis of the Medical Museum of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Graphic aris.—Curator Jacob Kainen continued his study of the color prints of John Baptist Jackson, a work that will trace the origins of color printing in the 18th century and will emphasize Jackson’s importance as an artist and color printer. It will also provide a complete descriptive catalog of his work to replace the incomplete standard catalog published in 1856. Mr. Kainen also continued his research into the origins and development of photomechanical processes, a study intended to provide a single reference work for the diverse and complicated history of halftone printing. <<>> Alexander J. Wedderburn, associate curator, completed a study of a hitherto unknown intermittent movement for motion picture projectors invented by Thomas Armat, noted for his inventions in this field. Mr. Wedderburn interviewed members of the inventor’s family and a machinist closely associated with Armat during the period in which he made his intermittent movement devices. The study is scheduled for publication in the Journal of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. He continued work on his history of the camera and served as consultant to the Navy Department in the preparation of a script for a film on the origins of the motion picture. Research by outside investigators.—In increasing numbers, outside investigators used the collections and called upon the staff for assistance on a wide variety of subjects, as shown by these examples. Ruth Laudlu, textile designer and weaver, Oslo, Norway, studied the textile collection, especially examples of early American designs. Margaret Stratton, Russellville, Ky., is assisting Miss Rogers in locating information on a quilted counterpane received by the Museum several years ago. K. Ramesh Rao, assistant wood technologist, Forest Research Institute, Dehra Dun, India, investigated the cataloging system, study collection, and exhibition hall of the section of wood technology and discussed future exchanges and mutual assistance. Professor Weifang Chu, Forestry College, National Taiwan University, Formosa, presently at the College of Forestry, State University of New York, completing a study of the woods of the Coniferae, examined the Museum collection of woods. Assistance was given George Bender, editor, and Robert Thom, artist, of Parke, Davis and Company, in their research associated with the History of Pharmacy in Pictures; the Armed Forces Medical Library for their “Exhibit of the Month”; Professor Harvey Young of Emory University, on the development of patent medicines in America; and Dr. Philip V. Hammond of Howard University, who presented a paper before the Plant Science Seminar on the national] materia-medica collection at the U. S. National Museum. Jay E. Gordon, of the Naval Photographic Center, and James H. Culver, of the Library of Congress, made studies of the photographic collections in connection with an official Navy film; Edmond Archer of the Corcoran School of Art was assisted in research concerning the camera obscura and its possible use by the 17th century Dutch painter Vermeer, and Col. Willard Webb, Library of Congress, was assisted in preparing material for a television show concerning the history of photography. <<>> History Mendel L. Peterson, curator of military and naval history, continued his field investigation in the Florida Straits area during the months of May and June. His work, carried on under the sponsorship of Mr. Edwin A. Link on board the vessel The Sea Diver, this year fell into two categories: investigation of Spanish wreck sites on Silver Bank, and retracing the possible route taken by Columbus in the Bahamas during his first voyage to America. His study in the markings and decoration of museum cannon was continued. During the year he photographed and measured cannon at Baltimore and Annapolis, Md.; Nassau, Bahamas; Grand Turk Island; Le Citadelle and Port-au-Prince, Haiti; and Havana, Cuba. Margaret W. Brown, associate curator of civil history, prepared a booklet on The First Ladies Hall which was published for the opening of the hall. Her illustrated description of the gown of Mrs. Harry S. Truman was published as a supplement to her “Dresses of the First Ladies of the White House.” Curator of Numismatics Stuart Mosher continued his investigations of American medalists, the works of the die engraver Edward Stabler, the Hugh Miller collection of Korean charms and amulets, and the multiple thalers of Brunswick-Luneburg in the Paul A. Straub collection. Franklin R. Bruns, Jr., associate curator of philately continued his research in several fields, among which were sources of United States postage stamp design and the postal history of Liberia. Research by outside investigators.—Among the outside investigators working in the Department of History were Dr. F. M. Fryxell, a Guggenheim Fellow who is preparing a history of the Dr. Frederick V. Hayden Expedition; Emerson Brooks, Department of Agriculture; Lt. Col. George Chinn, Navy Bureau of Ordnance; representatives of the Bureau of Internal Revenue who examined specimens in the collections bearing on questions relating to the National Fire Arms Act; representatives of the Department of the Army, Office of the Chief of Military History; Mr. Herbert Campbell of the Remington Arms Company; Mr. Harold Peterson of the National Park Service; Congressman Louis C. Rabault of Michigan; representatives of the American Legion; representatives of the Corcoran Gallery of Art; Lt. Col. John H. Magruder, curator of the Museum of the Marine Corps. <<>> Publications In addition to an Annual Report, the National Museum issued 10 publications based on research in the national collections. Of these, 2 were in the Bulletin series and 8 were in the Proceedings series. The titles of these publications are listed below. At the close of the year 17 Proceedings papers and the following four Bulletins were in press: “American Moths of the Subfamily Phycitinae,” by Carl Heinrich; “The Honey-Guides,” by Herbert Friedmann; “Nearctic Wasps of the Subfamilies Pepsinae and Ceropalinae,” by Henry Townes; and “Checklist of the Coleopterous Insects of Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and South America,” Part 6, by Richard E. Blackwelder. Publications by the staff, including honorary members, totaled 144. These publications, listed on pages 47 to 58, were distributed as follows: Department Publications Department Publications INTE OAT ONO PL Gt ERESH HO yee gph oe Re apegPe aes q Botamyaee= See be eet Se Peeve VACGY Oy COA area Wa ie i ha 57 Engineering and Industries_______ 9 —— Geol Osa ae ee NE 21 FASO Gell eee i rhs ee Seen 144 Publications of the United States National Museum July 1954 through June 1955 REPORTS The United States National Museum annual report for the year ended June 30, 1954.
