John C. Ewers, ethnologist and planning officer, is directing this work, in which the curators and exhibits designers, working together, thus far have produced detailed descriptions and tentative hall designs for nearly half the exhibition halls the building will contain. Thus, as soon as the dimensions and locations of exhibition halls are determined by the architects, construction of the exhibits can begin, so that they will be ready for installation soon after the building is completed. John H. Morrissey, now chief of an architectural unit of the Public Buildings Service of the General Services Administration, has been a helpful liaison between that agency and the Smithsonian Institution on the design of the new building and a valued adviser on the planning of exhibits. The architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White completed the studies for the exterior design of the Museum of History and Technology building and submitted diagrammatic plans. The Joint Congressional Committee on construction of this building accepted the design recommended by the architectural firm and so advised the Regents of the Smithsonian Institution. Detailed estimates by the architects and the Public Buildings Service of the construction costs of a building conforming to these diagrammatic plans indicated that the appropriated funds would not be sufficient for a building of the contemplated dimensions. This development was brought to the attention of the Joint Congressional Committee and the Board of Regents. A Museum staff committee reviewed the estimated facilities and equipment required by the scientific and service divisions in the proposed additions to the Natural History Building. Funds for planning the additions, including the preparation of working drawings and specifications, were appropriated by Congress at the close of the fiscal year. <<>> Funds Allotted From the funds appropriated by Congress to carry on the operations of the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus during the fiscal year 1957, the sum of $1,767,760 was obligated by the United States National Museum for the preservation, increase, and study of the National collections of anthropological, zoological, botanical, and geological materials, as well as materials illustrative of engineering, industry, graphic arts, and history (this amount includes sums expended for the program of exhibits modernization). <<>> Exhibits During the fourth year of the continuing program for the modernization of exhibits at the Smithsonian Institution, a hall depicting everyday life in early America, one illustrating the history of power machinery, and the final section of the hall displaying large mammals of North America were opened to the public. With these, the total of completed halls reached eight. The variety of subject matter now encompassed in the renovated halls exceeds the scope of most museums. Public response to these new exhibits continued to increase during the year and the informed comment on their effectiveness was generous and encouraging. Dr. Herbert Friedmann continues as chairman of the exhibits committee, which provides over-all coordination and supervision of the renovation program being carried out by John EK. Anglim, chief exhibits specialist, and William L. Brown, chief taxidermy exhibits specialist. Benjamin Lawless and Rolland O. Hower are exhibits specialists in charge of major elements of the program. Eugene E. Witherell, acting director of the architectural and structural division of the Public Buildings Service of the General Services Administration, and Harry T. Wooley, design architect of that agency, have contributed substantially to the designs of the halls. In this work the scientific staff prepare the original narrative scripts, select the objects, write the captions, and consult with the exhibits designers and preparators on the arrangement of the objects and the use of the drawings, paintings, and other graphical aids required to communicate their ideas to the viewers. The curators of the National Museum have a twofold objective in planning their halls and exhibits: to give the museum visitor the experience of viewing objects of significant historical or scientific interest and rarity; and to show these objects in exhibits so effectively explanatory that they increase the visitor’s knowledge, not only of the object, but also of the history, science, technology, or art to which the object relates. The attainment of this objective and the authenticity, scholarship, and factual content which distinguish the exhibits reflect the devoted and time-consuming work of the many busy scientists and historians of the curatorial staff. Procedures for planning halls for the Museum of History and Technology are based on those tested in the modernization program. The curator prepares an outline of the subject matter to be interpreted, listing the number, types, and sizes of exhibit units required to present <<>> this subject to the public by museum methods. He executes a rough floor plan and suggests the logical order of the exhibits in the series. His recommendations are reviewed by the planning officer, the liaison architect, and the exhibits specialists. Both the practical and esthetic problems involved in interpreting the subject through exhibits are discussed in conferences with the assigned designer, who prepares a preliminary hall design with a floor plan and elevations. The curators have completed scripts for 25 halls. These include military history, heraldry and ordnance, underwater exploration, presidential history, colonial American furnishings, 19th-century American furnishings, philately, postal history, numismatics, heating and lighting, beginnings of textiles, history of motion pictures and applications of photography, pharmaceutical history, physics and astronomy, power, tools, light machinery, and an introductory series of 8 halls interpreting the growth of the United States. The designers completed preliminary designs for 21 halls. Anthropology On January 26, 1957, in the presence of more than 800 guests, Secretary Leonard Carmichael and Mrs. Arthur M.

This hall, by means of authentic home furnishings, tools, and other objects, illustrates the various European origins of the early settlers; their housing, trapping, and planting; their trade with the Indians, their domestic and community life; their arts and crafts; and the life of the child. In more than 50 exhibits, objects and graphics are combined to illustrate the basic concerns of the settlers. Interspersed with the topical exhibits are an entire 17th-century Massachusetts Bay Colony house, the gift of Mrs. Greenwood; three 18th-century rooms; an early 19th-century bedroom; and a New England schoolroom equipped with original desks and benches saved by Mrs. Greenwood from old schoolhouses. This hall, the first in the National Museum to be devoted to cultural history, is unusual, if not unique, in relating many elements of the life of a period by combining narrative topical exhibits with interiors and displays of selected collections of antiquarian treasures. It was planned by Associate Curator C. Malcolm Watkins in close cooperation with Exhibits Chief John E. Anglim and the architects of the Public Buildings Service. Individual cases and displays were prepared by artists of the exhibits laboratory under the supervision of Rolland O. Hower. Most helpful assistance was given by Mrs. Greenwood Everyday Life in Early America: Varied ceiling heights, and bays, alcoves, and foyer areas give change of pace, stimulate interest.

Erection of the 17th-century Bay Colony House and structural installation of the period rooms were by George H. Watson, specialist in colonial house restorations, and his staff. The preparation of specimens for exhibition was under the direction of Assistant Curator G. Carroll Lindsay, assisted by Museum Aide Ulysses G. Lyon. Research in the furnishings used in the period rooms was performed by Assistant Curator Rodris C. Roth.

The overall plans for this hall were prepared by John C. Ewers in collaboration with John E. Anglim, and the construction of exhibits was under the supervision of Rolland O. Hower. Figures for a new miniature diorama of a Blackfoot Indian buffalo drive were made and sculptured figures of life-size ethnic groups were restored in the anthropological laboratory by A. Joseph Andrews. Two Egyptian bull mummies were exhibited near the Ptolemaic mummy in the hall of Old World archeology, where they have proved of unusual interest to school children. Temporary revision of a few exhibits was made in the North American archeology halls, and tentative plans for modernization of these two halls were completed. Zoology The final four habitat groups in the hall of North American mammals were presented to the public April 30 in a brief ceremony at which the zoological work of the Smithsonian Institution was reviewed. The hall now displays twelve native mammals important to the American pioneer. To the lifelike groups already on display—caribou, Rocky Mountain wapiti, or American elk, Cervus canadensis nelsoni Bailey in the Gallatin Range, Yellowstone National Park, during late autumn breeding season. First snow of winter blankets spruce forest that typically surrounds mountain meadows where these elks spend most of year. Specimens mounted by James L. Clark. Background painted by Robert E. Hogue. <<>> moose, big-horn sheep, Rocky Mountain goat, white-tailed deer, pronghorn antelope, wolf, and puma—were added groups of wapiti, black bear, grizzly bear, and American bison—all in faithful reproductions of their natural habitats. Work began on the earliest of these groups when Dr. Remington Kellogg was curator of mammals. He and the present curator, Dr. David H. Johnson, directed the final phase of the work, which was executed under the supervision of William LL. Brown, chief taxidermist. Charles R. Aschemeier, Norman N. Deaton, and Watson M. Perrygo prepared the mounts, mounted the skins, reproduced the Female grizzly bear, Ursus horribilis Ord, with partly grown cubs turning over rocks in search of Columbian ground squirrels in Logan Pass, above 6,000 feet elevation, in Glacier National Park, Montana.

Matternes. <<>> accessory plant and ground material, and installed the groups. The backgrounds of the latest groups were painted by Robert Hogue, John Kucera, and J. H. Matternes. Detailed plans for the two halls of the “World of Mammals” were carried forward by Associate Curator Henry W. Setzer, who completed the final scripts for 20 of the 60 displays to be constructed for these halls, and by Thomas G. Baker, exhibits designer. The large central hall of the west wing of the Museum was closed for the removal of the old mammal habitat groups, and progress was made with plans for the proposed “Hall of Marine Life” which will eventually occupy that area. Geology Under the direction of Head Curator G. A. Cooper and Associate Curator D. H. Dunkle, plans for the hall of invertebrate paleontology and the hall of fossil fishes and amphibians were completed by the designer William D. Crockett, who also prepared tentative plans for the hall of fossil mammals for Curator C. L. Gazin. The hall of invertebrate paleontology will include a series of dioramas of fossil marine life. Two of these were completed during the year by George Marchand, creator of natural science exhibits. One shows a Middle Cambrian sea-bottom of British Columbia in which sponges and seaweed provide the setting for trilobites, worms, and other arthropods. The other dicrama reproduces a sea-bottom of the Permian of West Texas, in which a patch reef of algae is overgrown by bizarre brachiopods, while nautiloid cephalopods seek their prey along the bottom. Many of the restorations of the fossil animals in these dioramas are based on specimens in the national collections and on the scientific studies of Dr. Cooper. Plans for the hall of fossil fishes and amphibians were revised to accommodate new material obtained by Dr. Dunkle during his recent European trip. In the paleontology laboratory good progress was made in the preparation of fossils for exhibition. Those completed include the difficult skeletons of primitive Permian reptiles Seymouria, Labidosaurus, and Diadectes and the Devonian fishes Drepanaspis, Bothriolepis,and Gemuendina. Work progressed on mounts of the Devonian fish Dinichthys, the Cretaceous teleostean fish Xiphactinus, which is 16 feet long, and the Permian “horned” amphibian Diplocaulus.. A part of the popular gem collection is being temporarily exhibited near the rotunda while construction of the new gem and mineral hall, begun in February 1957, is in progress. <<>> Norman N. Deaton, taxidermist, completed restorations of various fossil fishes and tetropods and is casting plants for a Permo-Carboniferous life group, the molds of which were lent by the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh. Loan exhibits were sent to several societies during the year including the Eastern Federation of Mineralogical Societies annual meeting in Baltimore, Md.; the Northwest Federation of Mineralogical Societies, Eugene, Oreg.; the Midwest Federation of Mineralogical Societies, St. Paul, Minn.; and the Idaho Gem Club, Boise, Idaho. Engineering and Industries The first hall-size exhibit renovation in the department of engineering and industries was completed with the opening of the hall of power machinery on March 27, 1957. Moving engines and models, murals, and scores of diagrams and schematic mechanisms narrate the development from primitive windand water-powered machines to the gas turbine, with graphic representations of the scientific discoveries which furthered this progress. Original machines and patent models illustrate the work of engineers and inventors such as Stevens, Corliss, Otto, and Deisel. Head Curator Robert P. Multhauf prepared the script and the initial floor plan for the hall. The original architectural design by Benjamin W. Lawless was developed with the aid of C. David Persina, then of the Public Buildings Service. Bright N. Springman was the exhibits designer and Mr. Lawless had overall supervision of the work. Secretary Carmichael and Dr. Melville Bell Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic Society and grandson of Alexander Graham Bell, opened an exhibit illustrating the invention and development of the telephone. The exhibit describes the evolution of the telephone and shows the equipment required to create the modern telephone system, including the switching mechanisms required to select circuits and connect a pair of telephones from the millions of circuits in the system, the boosting of the signal current over long lines, and the multiplying of the message carrying capacities of various types of circuits. The potential importance of the transistor is described and an operable exhibit of the solar battery is included. Dr. Robert P. Multhauf planned the content of the exhibit, which was designed by Smithsonian and Bell Telephone Laboratories personnel. It was produced and presented by the Bell System and the independent telephone industry. In the section of photography, exhibits on camera lenses, instantaneous photography, and camera shutters were designed and installed by Fuller Griffith. These completed the refurbishing of the photog <<>> raphy gallery, which combines exhibits on the history of photography and the camera with a photographic print salon for special showings of the work of present-day photographers. Alexander J. Wedderburn, Jr., is the associate curator in charge. Work began on the renovation of the graphic arts exhibits illustrating the history and methods of fine printmaking.

Exhibits assistance was given during the year to the American Association of Anatomists, the American Association of the History of Medicine, the International College of Surgeons Hall of Fame, and the National Library of Medicine. Associate Curator Grace Rogers, and Thaddeus O. McDowell, exhibits designer, completed plans for the modernized textile hall. A typical 3-part unit of the demountable panel and case system designed for this hall was erected to show a revised exhibit on the subject of silk. A contract was let for the purchase and installation of the panels and cases required to complete the renovation. Improvement was made in the exhibition of automobiles under the supervision of Leslie J. Newville; and Associate Curator Edwin A. Battison rearranged the timekeeping exhibits to feature some of <<>> NEG. 44698-E Power Machinery Hall: Beam steam engine of 1851, its 12-foot flywheel slowly turning, stands at entrance, before photographic exhibit of windand water-wheels.

Plans were carried forward for a number of halls for the new museum on the subjects of chemistry, electricity, and agriculture. History The division of military history, under Associate Curator Edgar M. Howell, began work, in cooperation with the Department of the Army, on an exhibit illustrating the history of the U.S. Army. Construction of fixtures was completed during the year and the installation of weapons, models, and dioramas was started. The hall was designed by William D. Crockett. — The outstanding collection of household furnishings and personal effects preserved by several generations of the Copp family of New England was moved to a location closer to related collections, and a renovated exhibit of the material was begun. Associate Curator Margaret Brown Klapthor is supervising the renovation. In philately, more than 100 exhibition frames of stamps were renovated. Exhibition assistance was furnished by Associate Curator Franklin R. Bruns, Jr., to the international philatelic exhibition in Bombay and to the Pennsylvania State Museum at Harrisburg. Special exhibits were arranged to coincide with the national elections and the presidential inauguration. Old campaign buttons, torchlight-parade costumes, election souvenirs, banners, and an old ballot box were installed by Assistant Curator Charles G. Dorman and Museum Aide James Channing. Inaugural medals, programs, invitations to inaugural events, and old prints of past inaugurations were arranged by Assistant Curator Anne W. Murray. Dorman and Channing arranged the special exhibit of portraits in plaster, consisting of 38 masks and 9 busts of European and American statesmen, artists, musicians, and poets of the 18th and 19th centuries, selected from the collection presented to the Museum by Harry McComas. The design of exhibits for the new building included the completion of preliminary plans for halls of costumes and naval history. The committee that is planning the series of introductory halls devoted to the growth of the United States held 23 meetings during the year. Mendel L. Peterson, head curator, is chairman and Robert B. Widder is the exhibits designer. Scripts and preliminary layouts of four halls were completed and two more are nearing completion. Dr. srooke Hindle, professor of history at New York University, reviewed the work and made many contributions to the planning. <<>> Bell Telephone Photo Telephone Exhibit: Located on balcony of Arts and Industries Building, it portrays evolution of telephone and equipment required for modern telephone system.

Bell Telephone Photo <<>> Accessions During the Fiscal Year 1957 Accessions during the past year added 647,750 specimens to the national collections. These materials were distributed among the six departments as follows: Anthropology, 14,004; zoology, 480,328; botany, 45,069; geology, 33,322; engineering and industries, 1,706; history, 73,321. This total includes 363,506 insects and 71,928 stamps. The accessions for the most part were received as gifts from individuals or as transfers from government departments and agencies. A full list of the donors is to be found on page 81. Anthropology An outstanding donation to the anthropological collections received in the division of archeology is an ibis statuette of wood and bronze from the necropolis of Tuna-el-Gebel, Upper Egypt, dated about 1,800 B. C. This statuette was given by General Mohammed Naguib to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who in turn presented it to the Institution. A large miscellaneous collection assembled by the late Monsignor John M. Cooper was donated by The Catholic University of America, through the Rev. James A. Magner. This material consists of North American Indian, Eskimo, African, Philippine, and Negrito cultural objects; Coptic textiles; an embossed gold disk from Ecuador; and other Latin American artifacts. Ethnological gifts include two large Fijian kava bowls donated by the Government of New Zealand through the administrative officer of the Embassy of New Zealand. Kava bowls are essential for the Fijian ceremony of yanggona, or formalized drinking of kava. An antique type of Malay kris or “keris,” was given by Mr. Ibrahim Izzudin bin Yusoff, Kelantan, Federation of Malaya. The laminated blade of this heirloom, a traditional Malay weapon, is made from meteoric iron and copper. The hilt and sheath are decorated with gold overlay in filigree with stone brilliants inset in bezels. In anticipation of period-room installations for the new Museum of History and Technology, the following paneling and finish were accepted: A late 18th-century drawing room from the Thomas Hancock house, Worcester, Mass., a gift of Mrs. Adelaide K. Bullen in memory of her father, Oliver Sawyer Kendall III; paneled wall and woodwork from the Richard Dole house, Newbury, Mass.

In exchange with the Institute and Museum of Anthropology, Moscow State University, the division of physical anthropology received a cast of a child’s skull and lower jaw from the Mousterian cultural period of the Crimea. The Moscow State University received a cast of the Tepexpan skull in return. This exchange resulted from a visit by the Russian delegation following the Fifth International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences, in Philadelphia. Zoology As reservoir hosts, transmitters, and carriers of disease, mammals are intensively studied and collected the world over by special agencies and commissions whose efforts have resulted in some of the more important accessions received by the division of mammals in recent years. This year in cooperation with the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board and the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. David H. Johnson, curator of mammals, collected 656 specimens of bats and other small mammals in central Luzon, Philippine Islands.

Among the accessions obtained by exchange were 2,695 specimens of Foraminifera from Poland; 158 Tertiary brachiopods from New Zealand; and 894 invertebrate fossils, mostly Mesozoic and Tertiary from Japan. Through the income of the Walcott bequest 5,322 specimens of Devonian, Mississippian, and Permian fossils were collected by Dr. G. A. Cooper, A. L. Bowsher, and J. T. Dutro, in the Glass Mountains of Texas and the San Andres and Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico. The division of vertebrate paleontology received outstanding specimens through purchase, field work, and exchanges. Specimens of fossil fishes acquired by purchase came from the Devonian Escuminac formation on Chaleurs Bay, Canada; and a series of late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic fishes from various European localities. Important specimens collected by Dr. C. L. Gazin include 100 mammalian specimens from the Eocene of Wyoming, and several good specimens of ancient dogs and horses, which were obtained near Harrison, Nebr. Dr. D. H. Dunkle, with Professor Westoll, secured over 200 fossil fish specimens from Lower and Middle Devonian localities in Scotland. Exchanges were effected that yielded excellent fossil fishes and other fossil vertebrates. Several types of Triassic fishes from Greenland and casts of Devonian amphibians were obtained from the Danish Mineralogical Museum. <<>> A large skeleton of a Cretaceous fish was obtained from the Bureau of Economic Geology of the University of Texas, and Dartmouth College exchanged six primitive jawless ostracoderms from Oesel Island in the Baltic. An exchange of value, consisting of nine jaws and maxillae of primitive perissodactyls and artiodactyls, was obtained from the Muséum de Sciences Naturelles, Lyon, France. Engineering and Industries In connection with the development of the new exhibit of telephony, about 20 original instruments showing the evolution of the telephone from 1880 to the present day were added to the collections of the division of engineering. These specimens were donated by Bell Telephone Laboratories, Stromberg-Carlson Company, the Bell Telephone Company of Canada, North Electric Company, Western Electric Company, Kellogg Switchboard and Supply Company, Automatic Electric Company, and the Ohio Bell Telephone Company. All sections in the division received important new accessions in preparation for exhibition in the Museum of History and Technology. A specimen of particular historical interest added as a loan to the collection of machine tools is a Robertson milling machine of 1852, from Yale University. The section of light machinery acquired a fine French astronomical clock, of about 1800, featuring a planetarium enclosed in a glass sphere etched with the constellations, thus exhibiting particularly well the astronomical associations of timekeeping. A full-sized pirogue, or dug-out canoe, made in the manner of the Acadians, was presented to the Museum by Esso Standard Oil Company, together with a film recording the process of its fabrication. An elegant Queensbody basket phaeton was given by Mrs. William A. Frailey. The collection relating to instructional mathematics was augmented considerably with the receipt, from Prof. Frances EK. Baker, of a set of 131 mathematical models. The division of medicine and public health added to its collection the third X-ray tube of the discoverer of X-ray, Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen, a gift of the General Electric Company.

In the section of agriculture, a model of the Hussey reaper of 1833 was constructed by Donald Holst of the Office of Exhibits; a Pennsylvania bar share plow was donated by Daniel G. H. Lesher; and an early threshing machine, by James W. Brown. Preparation of exhibits for the new museum made it possible for the division of graphic arts to acquire a number of important prints. Among these are “St. Catherine with the Wheel,” a hand-colored anonymous wood cut dated 1465-1470, and examples of the graphic work of J. M. Whistler, Paul Gauguin, Pierre Bonnard, Muirhead Bone, Georges Rouault, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and others. An outstanding collection of materials representing the history of motion picture photography, comprising 864 items, was received as a bequest from Gatewood W. Dunston. History The division of civil history acquired a notable reception room which was originally installed in a house near Kutztown, Berks County, Pennsylvania, during the period 1785-1790. ‘This room corresponds in size, plan, locale, period and original usage to the second-floor front drawing room of the Philadelphia Presidential Mansion as it appeared during Washington’s second administration. The Ladies’ Hermitage Association, Nashville, Tenn., presented a buff and gold china bow! from one of the dinner services used at the White House during the administration of President Andrew Jackson. A plate and a cup and saucer, representative of the State services made by Wedgwood for the White House for use during the Theodore Roosevelt administration, were presented by Josiah Wedgwood and Sons, Inc. A most interesting addition to the costumes collection is a gold brocade shoe for a woman of the early 18th century with a matching gold brocade clog, a gift of Mrs. Douglas Hathaway through Mrs. Brookings T. Andrews. The military history collections were enhanced by the gift from President Dwight D. Eisenhower of a summer service uniform of a General of the Army worn by him during his term as Commanding General, Supreme Headquarters, Allied Powers Europe. Twelve military paintings by the celebrated military artist, Mr. Charles Haffbauer, were presented by Mrs. John Nicholas Brown. Outstanding among the specimens received in the division of naval history was a series of six oil paintings of naval actions in the Pacific Ocean during World War II which came as a gift of the artist, Clarence J. Tibado. <<>> An important accession received in the division of numismatics is an original pantograph invented and built by Christian Gobrecht, a prominent United States Mint engraver, together with various engravings and plate proofs of state bank notes made by him, the gift of Mrs. C. F. Wolters. Outstanding among the specimens presented by Paul A. Straub are a broad gold 8-ducat piece struck in 1617 in Quedlinburg by Dorothea, Duchess of Saxony, and a ducat, dated 1688, struck by August Friedrich of Holstein-Gottorp. A newcomer to the list of donors of philatelic material is Mr. Harry L. Lindquist, publisher of “Stamps” magazine, who presented his collections of Danish and Swedist booklet panes, including many of great rarity. Former Postmaster General James A. Farley converted one section of his valuable philatelic holdings from loan to gift during the year. Philip H. Ward, Jr., of Philadelphia, donated a considerable number of United States and foreign stamps—to continue his ranking as the “oldest” continuing donor, having first evidenced his support of the national postage stamp collection as far back as 1915. Mr. B. H. Homan, Jr., of New York donated 18 original drawings for Ecuadorean stamps, and 114 French pre-stamp covers. Other important donations were received from Ernst Lowenstein, Tom Lowenstein, John P. V. Heinmuller, John R. Boker, Jr., John N.

Joseph Andrews was engaged in constructing a large diorama showing Blackfoot Indians driving a herd of buffalo over a cliff, a hunting method used by these Indians before their adoption of the horse. The diorama, which depicts a location actually used by the Indians, just east of the Rocky Mountains in northern Montana, will be placed in the American Indian hall, now under construction. Mr. Andrews also made plaster casts of skulls and busts for the division of physical anthropology, repaired and restored ceramics and metal ware for the division of ethnology, and restored pottery vessels for the division of archeology. In addition, he altered and repaired several manikins in the First Ladies of the White House exhibit for the department of history, and kept in repair the statuary throughout the buildings for the National Collection of Fine Arts. In the division of ethnology, the rapidly progressing exhibits program has required the removal of collections previously on exhibition, as well as extensive changes in the study collections, in order to keep these materials available for study by our own and outside anthropologists. This work has been the principal task of Assistant Curator of Ethnology Robert A. Elder, Jr., and Museum Aide George W. McBryde. With the receipt of new type storage units designed for ceramics and metalwork, the American and European cultural history study series <<>> is now easily accessible to students and researchers. Under the supervision of Assistant Curator G. Carroll Lindsay, objects were refurbished, polished and cleaned for the newly opened hall, “Everyday Life in Early America.” Museum Aide U. G. Lyon, in addition to assisting Mr. Lindsay in readying the new hall, cleaned and repaired a number of heating and lighting utensils. In the laboratory of the division of archeology, the work of processing and cataloging accessions carried over from the previous fiscal year was completed, and less than 15 percent of this year’s accessions await marking, a further reduction in backlog. State collections re-worked and condensed include those representing Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Montana, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, and Wyoming. The laboratory aides have commenced unpacking, washing, and placing field numbers on the extensive collections obtained by Associate Curator Dr. Clifford Evans and Research Associate Dr. Betty J. Meggers through field excavations in eastern and coastal Ecuador, and the Territory of Amazonas, Venezuela. The laboratory has also been able to arrange for the washing of aboriginal textiles from Peru and Chile, to the extent that the textiles most in need of attention will be protected from damage and will be made more readily available for study by scholars, as well as for display. Work on the skeletal collections in the fourth floor rotunda of the Natural History building was concentrated on the Florida collection and the Hemenway collection from the American Southwest. In extending the division’s finding system to these collections, Anthropological Aide Lucile E. Hoyme found many of the early specimens either in such poor condition, or so poorly documented, as to be useless for scientific study. In connection with these projects, it was necessary to review and list the specimens segregated for pathology or anomalies and stored separately from the skeletons. Miss Hoyme was granted a cash award and a certificate of merit for the procedures she developed in accomplishing these tasks. Zoology The physical condition of the zoological collections has continued to improve. Rearrangement, reorganization, and reidentification of collections has progressed in several divisions, but the lack of storage space for the collection of fishes, insects, marine invertebrates, helminths, and corals poses a problem becoming daily more acute. The incorporation of the Fish and Wildlife Service and National Museum mammal collections into a single series has gone forward slowly because of the time devoted this year to the exhibits program. Rearrangement of the skeletons through the cricetine rodents was <<>> completed, and most of the skins of deer were transferred to new quarters. A long-needed reorganization of the divisional library was made possible by the acquisition of new book shelves and by the employment of Mr. Luis de la Torre on the summer intern program during August 1956. The reidentifying, labeling, and rearranging of bird specimens was continued by Associate Curator Deignan and Museum Aide Feinstein. The research collections in some groups were reidentified by Dr. J. W. Aldrich and Allen J. Duvall of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The department is also grateful to Colonel L. R. Wolfe who generously devoted several weeks of his time to the egg collections. Over 100 of the sizeable mounted birds removed from exhibition in the previous fiscal year, and important for historical or scientific reasons, were dismounted, remade into study skins, and put back in the study series. The inventory of the frog collection, initiated in 1956, went forward on schedule, and is now over three-fourths completed. The discovery of a number of misplaced specimens has proved the value of this undertaking. Upon its completion the other groups of amphibians and reptiles will be similarly dealt with. The collections of fishes are in an excellent state of preservation, and those processed and catalogued are arranged in an orderly manner and are conveniently accessible. Regrettably, this cannot be said of the large backlog of uncataloged specimens which, though in good shape physically, cannot be made readily available for study until additional storage space is provided. Thanks to the summer intern program inaugurated this year, marked strides were made in the physical care of the entomological collections. With providential though temporary assistance, fumigant was placed in 12,786 standard insect drawers, or about one-third of the total number in the National collections. More than 20,000 drawers remain to be examined and to have the naphthalene replenished. Further headway with this necessary and still urgent task depends on the availability of more subprofessional help. With the appointment to the staff, on September 1956, of Dr. Ralph KE. Crabill, the myriopod-arachnid section was reactivated. For some years, the groups assigned to this section had received very little attention for want of a specialist conversant with them, and consequently were in urgent need of sorting, rehousing, arranging, and identification, tasks which have occupied the greater part of the associate curator’s time since his appointment. In the course of this work, he has instituted for these collections a system of cataloging and physical organization noteworthy by reason of its simplicity, the speed with which it is now possible to locate any given type specimen, and the safety it affords the material concerned. <<>> In working over the Pseudoscorpionida he discovered about 300 specimens that, over the years, had become misplaced. These specimens, most of them collected by Banks and by Green, have now been revived and rehoused with surprisingly little loss. The Museum’s pedipalpida material has been revived and rehoused, but many specimens remain in extremely poor condition. On the other hand, he found the collections of Phalangida and of Araneida (the largest groups under his care) for the most part in excellent condition. The types of the latter group, which comprises 330 specimens representing between 200 and 250 species and subspecies, have been catalogued, checked, counted, and rehoused. Dr. Crabill reports that the Museum’s holdings of Ricinulei, the rarest of all Recent arachnids and possibly the rarest of arthropods, include a significant proportion of the world’s known museum specimens. They comprise the types described in 1929 by Ewing, who reported then that only 27 specimens were known to be in collections anywhere in the world. Of these, 10, representing 4 new species, were noted as being in the U. S. National Museum. The collection of Diplopoda ranks next to that of the spiders in point of number of species and specimens, but to date it has not been possible to assign as much as 10 percent of it even to a family. Owing partly to this enforced neglect and partly to the extraordinary difficulty of preserving millepedes, much of the ordinary material in this group was found to be in poor physical condition. The millepede types are in better condition, and approximately four-fifths of them have now been catalogued, rehoused, counted, and revived where necessary. It is estimated that 700 to 800 specimens of 400 to 500 species are represented in this group. At least three-fourths of the Museum’s representation of Chilopoda are either entirely unclassified or classified only to order. Restoring and identifying this material has been underway since September 1956 but progress has proved quite difficult and slow. All specimens known to be types have been incorporated into the new cataloging system, rehoused, and revived where necessary. During the year Dr. Phyllis Johnson, Entomology Research Division of the Department of Agriculture, reorganized the entire collection of ectoparasites, more than 168,000 specimens. The Ernest Shoemaker collection of 60,838 specimens of miscellaneous insects, chiefly Coleoptera, was counted, labeled, and about a tenth of it incorporated into the National Collection. From the Carl J. Drake collection (not yet completely counted or accessioned) 12,228 specimens have been placed in trays and labeled as part of the permanent collection of hemiptera; and 6,737 specimens of homoptera have been removed from Schmitt boxes and placed in drawers. Miscellaneous insects received from N. L. H. Kraus, C. L. Gibson, R. E. Elbel, A. <<>> Vasquez, J. P. E. Morrison and others, were incorporated; and 46,555 specimens from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Entomology Research Division, were placed in the permanent series. The entire collection of Nearctic Neuroptera was reorganized and arranged with appropriate current name-labels, as were the collections of Collembola, Thysanura, Protura, and allied groups. Altogether, 336,275 specimens were processed and incorporated. During the year the alcohol was replenished in those sections of the collection of alcoholic marine invertebrate stacks that most needed attention, but the entire invertebrate collection requires a thoroughgoing and meticulous overhaul. It has outgrown all available storage space and is alarmingly overcrowded. Attending to only the more critical areas, as developed by spot checks, poses a serious hazard to much valuable and in many cases irreplaceable study and reference material. Two museum aides temporarily assigned to the division in the summer intern program, contributed significantly toward the reduction of the accessioning and cataloguing backlog: Philip L. Perkins worked in the division from July 26 to September 7 and Carol C. Clarke, from July 16 to September 21. The dry and alcoholic collections of mollusks are generally in good condition, but an increasing number of catalogued lots of specimens need to be added to the study series to bring it up to the level of greatest service and efficiency. The Museum’s collection of slides and alcoholic specimens of helminths, stored and cared for at the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Animal Disease and Parasite Branch, at Beltsville, Md., continues in the best of shape physically. Scientifically, much remains to be accomplished for want of a curatorial assistant to care for the large amount of important uncatalogued material awaiting attention and incorporation, and the same condition exists in the coral collection, which is in great need of a thorough overhauling and a sweeping reorganization. Botany The major activities in caring for the permanent collections and the processing of new material are summarized in the following table: 1955-56 1956-57 Specimens and photographs mounted ... .. . 382,729 35,500 Specimens repaired . ES Feo HeG Leo 3,174 3, 443 Specimens stamped and recorded. ..... . . 25,609 30,312 Specimens incorporated in herbarium. .... . 238,604 20,383 There are now 55,562 types in the segregated type herbarium, including 38,995 phanerogams, 9,939 grasses, 3,345 ferns, and 3,283 cryptogams. This isan increase of 262 during the year. <<>> Geology In the division of invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany, the procurement of 175 standard quarter-unit cases and 3,585 drawers of several sizes has eliminated a major obstacle to the reorganization of the collection, and further real progress will be possible when additional subprofessional help is obtained. Museum Aide Henry Roberts revised the collections of fossil crabs, insects, and eurypterids, cleaning the specimens and placing them in new drawers. He trimmed the eurypterid specimens, which were often large and wasteful of space. His efforts saved space and resulted in an arrangement that will enhance the usefulness of the collections. For all collections not arranged alphabetically he also made finding lists that will serve as a generic inventory. The cases of crinoids in the Springer room were covered to protect the specimens and help keep them clean. Associate Curator A. R. Loeblich, Jr., reports progress in the washing of shale samples collected on various American and European expeditions. Associate Curator David Nicol, besides expanding the collection of Paleozoic pelecypods, searched the collection for missing types, with gratifying results; he found many that had been overlooked or poorly labeled. Head Curator G. A. Cooper continued distribution of the etched Permian fossils from the Glass Mountains of Texas. This work is now nearly finished and the sorted collected occupies 31 quarter unit cases. Again Dr. Robert Finks helped in revising the collection of Paleozoic sponges. In vertebrate paleontology, care of the collections has been somewhat curtailed by work on exhibition specimens, and as a result the backlog of specimens to be prepared has been increased by addition of materials transferred from the Smithsonian River Basin Surveys, from the U. S. Geological Survey, and from the collecting trips of the 1956 field season. Respacing of the fish collection, necessitated by the acquisition of new material collected by Associate Curator D. H. Dunkle or otherwise obtained during the year, was done by Mr. Applegate of the laboratory staff under the supervision of the associate curator. Although the collection is necessarily still crowded in arrangement, the refinement has greatly facilitated both search and selection of exhibit and exchange specimens. In addition to his work on the Dinichthys exhibit, Exhibits Specialist Franklin L. Pearce has been experimenting with techniques of embedding specimens in various plastics for chemical etching and thin-section preparing. <<>> Engineering and Industries A long-overdue renovation of many fine instruments was begun by Charles G. Smith, timekeeping instrument repairer who joined the staff this year. In addition to setting into operation a number of the clocks on exhibition, Mr. Smith has renovated most of the astrolabes, sundials, and antique timekeepers in the collection. Four carriages (a shay, surrey, phaeton, and gig-phaeton) and one sleigh were restored. This program, begun last year, is now about 25 percent completed. Textile specimens from the Hamilton Print Works were identified and mounted through the cooperation of the textile department of the University of Maryland, and 279 samples of woods from Fiji were cut and numbered. The entire reference collections of physics and chemistry, the major collections of textiles and manufactures, and portions of four other collections were moved to the new storage area above the power machinery hall. Additional storage units made possible the transfer of poorly housed reference collections of materia medica, agricultural patent models, phonographs, and specimens of graphic arts. The completion of additional storage facilities at Suitland, Md., provided space for housing exhibits materials for the Museum of History and Technology. History Assignment of additional storage space at Suitland, Md., and in Escanaba Hall will facilitate better handling of the reference collections of historical material. The renovation of the west gallery towers, and the installation of gun racks there, have provided increased storage space and made it possible to consolidate shoulder weapons by type, thus providing a more accessible reference collection. The carriage of the bronze field piece brought to this country in 1777 by Lafayette was expertly restored by Donald Berkebile and placed on exhibition. This piece is of special interest, complete field pieces of the Revolutionary War period being of extreme rarity. All the specimens in the naval collections were checked against the catalog in preparation for separating the objects assigned to the division of naval history from those in the division of military history. New chart cases were installed for the better care of prints and maps in the collections. The routine developed here for the preservation of iron barrels recovered from sea water has been almost completely successful. Objects treated have remained stable for periods up to 4 years. Be <<>> cause of an increasing interest in the recovery and preservation of objects from shipwreck sites, the procedure for preserving iron gun barrels is presented here: The first step in preserving large iron objects such as gun tubes, solid shot, and wrought iron fittings recovered from sea water is to prepare a bath of 10 to 15 percent sodium hydroxide in a trough of iron at least % inch thick. The object should then be cleaned of the calcareous coating of coral sand and other deposits by gently tapping it with a hammer. After the crust is removed the object should be immediately placed in the bath and allowed to soak for a period lasting from four to six weeks. At the end of this period, the bath should be renewed and “mossy” zine metal should be placed around and on top of the object so that its entire surface is in contact with the zine. After a day or two the solution will begin to bubble, indicating that the reaction is going forward. In a few weeks a white deposit will form on the object and the bubbling will stop. This means that the oxygen in the surface of the corroded object has combined with the zinc metal, forming zinc oxide. The object should be left in the bath for three or four weeks after this deposit starts forming. At the end of this time the object should be removed and the zine oxide dissolved with a mild solution of sulfuric acid. After the object is dried it should be coated with a clear synthetic lacquer or plastie coating to prevent further corrosion. Smaller objects may be coated satisfactorily by dipping them in a solution of hot paraffin. Any attempt to shorten this routine will probably result in the loss of the object through disintegration. An object waiting for the preservative process should be kept under water until it can be put into the chemical bath. If allowed to dry out, even before the crust is removed, chemical reactions will set in that will result in its ultimate disintegration. The identifying and cataloging of new numismatic specimens, checking specimens in storage against catalog cards, and locating specimens continued during the year. Progress was made on collating the reference collections of Confederate paper money. Numerous United States silver patterns were cleaned and will be lacquered experimentally with thinned Krylon. Because of the recrystallization of naphthalene on specimens and on the glass of the show cases, all naphthalene flakes were removed from the currency exhibition cases and replaced with pyrethrum insecticide. Preservation continues to occupy the major percentage of time of the staff of the division of philately and postal history. It has been established that the drying out of old stock-books, some about 50 years old, has considerably discolored some valuable specimens. The strip pockets, as they have dried out, have become separated, allowing specimens to slip and become damaged. Since the old stock-books were so <<>> set up that revisions and additions were virtually impossible, the collections were rearranged in new books. As a result, the discoloration has been halted, the material is more systematically grouped, detection of damaged specimens is facilitated, and it has become possible to make a quick inventory of the specimens needed to complete the collection. The rearrangement of the very large Michel collection of postal stationery was begun and has progressed substantially. 487255—57——_4 <<>> Investigation and Research Anthropology Head Curator Frank M. Setzler carried forward research resulting from his 1956 excavations of Marlborough Town, an early colonial site near Stafford, Va. He also prepared and delivered several lectures in connection with these excavations. In collaboration with Prof. Mildred Trotter and Oliver H. Duggins he published in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology “Hair of Australian Aborigines (Arnhem Land).” The introductions he prepared for two important archeological manuscripts were published. Archeology.—Curator of Archeology Waldo R. Wedel and Museum Aide George Metcalf excavated sites for the River Basin Surveys from June 4 to September 10. Their investigations comprised the final season of work at a 3-occupation site at the junction of the Cheyenne and Missouri Rivers in central South Dakota (39ST1). This year the work was aimed at a clearer definition of the second occupation, but included also the excavation of approximately 50 graves assigned to the most recent occupation, the historic Arikara Indians, dating from around the middle of the 18th century. A welldocumented series of skeletons was collected; their association with cultural materials, including both native pottery, pipes, stonework, bone, wood, textile fragments, and glass beads and metal of European origin, gives especial significance to the project in the archeological and historical studies being carried out along the Missouri River. An exceptionally complete series of photographs of the burials at all stages of the work was made. The site, from the excavation of which in 1951, 1955, and 1956 the National Museum will acquire a large and well-documented collection of pottery, stone, bone, and other artifacts, as well as an important series of skeletal materials, will be permanently flooded in a few years by Oahe Dam, now under construction by the Corps of Engineers a few miles north of Pierre. Following his return to Washington, Dr. Wedel substantially completed the text of his report on archeological investigations in Kansas from 1937-40, and since. He also assembled a paper on “The Western Oneota,” for presentation before a special symposium of the Society for American Archeology in Madison, Wisc., on May 3, 1957. At year’s end, Dr. Wedel and Museum Aide Metcalf were again in the field in South Dakota. <<>> Until October 1956 Associate Curator Clifford Evans, in collaboration with Honorary Research Associate Betty J. Meggers, worked on the final report of their archeological investigations in British Guiana. From October through the end of December they carried out archeological fieldwork on the Rio Napo and its tributaries on the eastern slope of the Andes in Ecuador. This constituted one phase of a research program to discover the origin of the Marajoara Culture on the Island of Marajé, and is a follow-up of their (1948-1949) archeological researches at the mouth of the Amazon, in Brazil. The work was supported in part by a grant from the American Philosophical Society with magnificent cooperation from the Ecuadorean Government. Survey and excavation of 12 large village sites on that portion of the Rio Napo within the boundaries of Ecuador and one of its major tributaries, the Rio Tiputini, produced quantities of ceramic materials that show definite relationships to the Marajoara Culture of the Lower Amazon. From January until mid-February 1957, Drs. Evans and Meggers, in collaboration with Sr. Emilio Estrada, Director of the Museo Arqueologico “Victor Emilio Estrada” in Guayaquil, Ecuador, continued research begun in 1954 on the coast of Ecuador, in Guayas Province, where they excavated more sites related to the Formative Period cultures and thereby established additional important links with Formative Period cultures in Middle America and Peru. In Guayaquil they attended the first Round Table on the Archeology of Ecuador. From mid-February until the end of March, Drs. Evans and Meggers, in collaboration with Prof. José M. Cruxent of the Museo de Ciencias Naturales and the Universidad Central de Venezuela, examined 88 archeological cites, making stratigraphic excavations in the majority of them, on the upper part of the Rio Orinoco and its tributary, the Rio Ventuari, in Venezuela. The results of these excavations and subsequent researches show interesting connections between cultures in this part of the tropical forest of Venezuela and the aboriginal cultures of the Guianas, Colombia, and Brazil. Drs. Evans and Meggers spent two weeks in Colombia studying comparative collections in Bogota, Cartagena, and Barranquilla, during which time they consulted with the Director of the Instituto de Antropologia Colombiana, Sr. Luiz Duque Gémez, and with the Colombian archeologists Alicia and Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff and Sr. Carlos Angulo. Dr. Evans continues to represent the anthropological profession specializing in Latin America at the biweekly meetings of the Working Group on Inter-American Affairs, at the Department of State. Museum Aide George Metcalf submitted to the River Basin Surveys for publication a report, “Star Village: A fortified historic Arikara <<>> site in Mercer County, North Dakota.” He resumed work on thi report of a number of sites in the Davis Creek Valley, central Nebraska. In addition, he prepared an article, “The Affair at Wounded Knee,” dealing with the last conflict between American Army Forces and Plains Indians. Neil M. Judd, associate in anthropology, continued his researches on the archeological materials collected in Chaco Canyon, N. Mex., for the National Geographic Society. During the year a considerable manuscript had been prepared. Dr. Walter W. Taylor, collaborator in anthropology, continued. his analysis of the material excavated from the Cuatro Cienegas caves of central Coahuila, Mexico. New carbon-14 dates from the stratified deposits in Frightful Cave have indicated a much older stratum than heretofore suspected, and Dr. Taylor read at the 1956 annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association a paper entitled “Some Implications of the Carbon-14 Dates from a Cave in Coahuila, Mexico.” Physical anthropology—Curator of Physical Anthropology T. Dale Stewart, from his studies on sexual differentiation of the pubic bone, has found certain changes in its symphyseal surface to be restricted to females and he was able to show that this feature has complicated the determination of age in ancient skeletal remains. Completion of his manuscript on the Potomac Creek archeological report was set aside while he carried out an assignment as chairman of a committee planning space requirements for the proposed wings for the Natural History building. Dr. Stewart presented a paper on “American Neanderthaloids” at a symposium arranged by the American Institute of Human Paleontology, of which he is president, and held during the annual meeting of the A.A.A.S. in New York. At the 26th annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists he presented a paper concerning the rate of development of hypertrophic arthritis of the vertebral column. In it he recorded observations on this feature noted in documented skeletons from the Terry collection, Washington University, St. Louis, and in remains of American soldiers studied while he was in Japan. From these two sets of observations he was able to show a continuous progression in vertebral lipping from early adulthood to senility. Dr. Stewart also prepared a report on the skeletal collections obtained from archeological sites in Kansas in 1937-39 by Waldo R. Wedel, curator of archeology. Associate Curator Marshall T. Newman organized and carried out integrated biological and nutritional studies on the Indians at Hacienda Vicos in the North Central Peruvian Sierra. These studies, made in collaboration with North American and Peruvian scientists, <<>> were aimed at demonstrating the effects of diet and disease upon the physical and clinical status of the Vicos Indians, who live on a bare subsistence level and under poor sanitary conditions. The strictly base-line biological studies were a phenotypic racial study by Dr. Newman on 150 adult Indian men, and a genetic study of 14 blood group systems on 435 Indians, ranged by families, by Dr. Fred H. Allen, Jr., associate director of the Blood Grouping Laboratory, Boston. The interdisciplinary physical nutritional studies carried out by this group included a physical study of 210 Indian boys by Dr. Newman, paralleled by examinations for signs of nutritional deficiencies by Dr. Carlos Collazos Ch., Head of the Department of Nutrition in Peru’s Ministry of Public Health; hemoglobin determination by Dr. Fred H. Allen, Jr., for some of the same boys; bone density co-efficients by Dr. Harald Schraer, Head of Pennsylvania State University Bone Density Research and Evaluation Center; and skeletal age determinations by Dr. Newman on 120 hand X-rays for the same boys. Added nutritional background was provided by an 11-family food-intake survey by Senorita Carmen Caceres C. of Dr. Collazos’ department, and a long-range food habits study by Senor Hector Martinez A. In addition, a preliminary heart study was made, consisting of dietary data and blood pressures by Dr. Newman, cholesterol and phospholipid levels by the Epidemiological Research Center (USPHS), Framingham, Mass., and medical data from the mobile clinic of the Programa Patavilca, Huaras, y Huaylas (UNICEF). Dr. Newman also spent 15 days excavating subterranean tombs of Recuay culture at two sites on the hacienda. The Hacienda Vicos biological studies were announced in Science, and Dr. Newman lectured on various aspects of them before several groups. He also spoke to the anatomy students at George Washington University Medical School in “Human Adaptation to Environmental Stresses.” During August and part of September, Dr. Newman furthered his studies on body weight and climate in the aboriginal New World and the physical and clinical characteristics of the Wai-Wai Indians of British Guiana. In addition, he served on the Committees on Fellowships and the International Directory of Anthropologists in the Division of Anthropology and Psychology, National Research Council, and assisted the Committee on International Exchange of Scholars in developing research programs in Peru. Museum Aide Lucile E. Hoyme studied the pelves in the collection of the Department of Anatomy at Howard University in connection with her investigations of sex differences in the innominate. Part of her findings were presented at the 26th annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists. <<>> Ethnology.—Curator of Ethnology Herbert W. Krieger, continued his long-range comparative research of Antillean Indian cultures, based on historical source documentation and on the collections made under Smithsonian grants from the Dr. W. L. Abbott and Ernest N. May funds at archeological and historical Indian village sites in the Bahamas, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and the Virgin Islands. Associate Curator C. Malcolm Watkins has conducted documentary research and studied over 700 lots of artifacts in connection with archeological investigations made by Head Curator Frank M. Setzler at Marlborough, Va., under a grant from the research funds of the American Philosophical Society. His long-range study of i7thcentury ceramic types used in the seaboard colonies was continued with the two-fold purpose of providing useful control data for the archeologists and shedding light on colonial trade and customs. Assistant Curator G. Carroll Lindsay has investigated the history of the Scott Brothers Pottery of Portobello, Scotland, and has studied a collection of its unique products now on loan to the museum from Mrs. Miriam F. Belcher. His conclusions will provide new data on a little-known earthenware type. He has also been engaged in a comparative study of eastern woodland Indian bark dwellings recommended in a London tract of 1652 for use by English settlers in New Jersey. Assistant Curator Rodris Carson Roth, a newcomer to the staff, has initiated research in household surroundings of the Colonial and Federal periods, such as floor coverings, curtains, upholstery, and teadrinking equipment. Her research has been of immediate usefulness in the furnishing of period room exhibits, in addition to its long-range historical value. Research by visiting investigators.—During the year 3,624 visitors requested information, examined collections, or conferred with staff members on anthropological problems; 3,811 letters were written ; and 11,863 telephonic inquiries were answered. Considerable interest was shown by several outside investigators on the extensive collection of early 19th-century paintings of Indian portraits by George Catlin and Charles Bird King. Many specialists in antiques conferred with our cultural historians as a result of the newly opened exhibit “Everyday Life in Karly America.” As a result of the Fifth International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences held in Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 1-9, 1956, the following distinguished visitors and scientists from foreign countries conferred with the staff, and most took advantage of this opportunity to use the anthropological collections for their individual research : <<>> Father Edouard Boné, S. J., Louvain, Belgium : Skeletal collections. Prof. George Vanderbroek, Louvain, Belgium: Australian skeletal collections. Dr. Lidio Cipriani, Indian skeletons. Dr. Franz Hamperl, Vienna, Austria: Paleopathology. Dr. D. >> practical 56-foot motor-sailer the Mareva. It was most fortunate that she was provided with sails, for on the first attempt to reach the Tuamotus the oil line to the main engine blew out, and without sails the ship might have drifted around for days in those little traveled waters; as it was, only a day was lost. It is a little early to speak of scientific results, but it is certain that the specimens collected on land and in the sea will materially enhance the national study collections of fishes, mollusks, echinoderms, and coelenterates. In addition, samples of soil from various parts of the different islands were gathered for biotic assay. Among the most important collections of lower crustaceans, according to Dr. Bowman, are a series of 10 plankton tows from the lagoons of the different islands, and five lots of talitrid amphipods, from three of the islands. Certain of the night dip-net collections made under a light yielded large numbers of lower crustaceans. Algal washings yielded good numbers of amphipods and harpacticoid copepods, and amphipods and tanaids were common in coral fragments. Isopods, except Ligia, were rare. Accordingly, the collection in general will undoubtedly prove to be valuable since few crustaceans have been obtained from the area. What Dr. Bowman says of the lower crustaceans is true of all the collections made. The Museum possesses very little biological material from the Tuamotus or the Society Islands. For basic and revisionary systematic work in zoology a worldwide representation in whatever group of animals the specialist is interested in must be available. Mr. and Mrs. Bredin, by means of their expeditions to parts of the world from which the National Museum has received little in the past, have enabled it to fill large gaps in the Museum’s reference collections. The Institution and particularly its zoological staff are profoundly grateful to the Bredins for their exceedingly helpful scientific and material assistance. While the Museum and its collections have benefited greatly from these Bredin Expeditions, so also have its participating staff members who, en route to the fields of operation, were afforded rewarding opportunities for visits to other scientific institutions and for making or renewing acquaintance with members of their staffs. Thus, in the course of the Society Islands Expedition visits were paid to the Allen Hancock Foundation and the University of Southern California in Los Angeles; the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco; to the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, and the University of Hawaii, and the Pacific Oceanic Fisheries Investigation (POFI) of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Honolulu; and to the Ethnological Museum in Papeete, Tahiti, Miss Aurora Natua, Director. Not only were informative and stimulating conversations held and <<>> INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH Sit ideas exchanged, but arrangements were also made for the loan and exchange of study materials and the identification of specimens. Mammals.—At the request of the Armed Forces Epidemiological Board and the Graduate School of Public Health of the University of Pittsburgh, Curator David H. Johnson joined a virus research group headed by Dr. William McD. Hammon investigating mosquitoborne virus diseases in central Luzon, Philippine Islands. Dr. Johnson left Washington on July 24 and returned on October 10. As mammalogist of the group, he collected over 600 bats and other small mammals in the vicinity of Manila and Clark Air Force Base. Associate Curator Henry W. Setzer prepared a report on his Libyan collections of 1955 and completed the studies he had undertaken on Egyptian insectivores, jerboas, and rabbits. Associate Curator Charles O. Handley, Jr., though concentrating on mammals of Central and South America, continued his studies on those occurring in the southeastern United States. A new bat and a new murine opossum were described by him from Peruvian collections sent in by the Pan American Sanitary Bureau. On April 26 Dr. Handley left Washington to join a field party of the GorgasMemorial Institute of Tropical and Preventive Medicine working in eastern Panama on sylvan yellow fever studies. At the close of the year he was still in the field and has reported good progress in collecting specimens of host species of mammals inhabiting the forest canopy. During his temporary appointment on the summer intern program, Luis de la Torre completed three taxonomic papers on neotropical bats which were published later in the year. Birds.—Two important works upon which Curator Herbert Friedmann had been engaged for some years went to press this year. One is the fifth and completely rewritten edition of the A. O. U. “Checklist of North American Birds” (with A. Wetmore and a committee of workers in other institutions) ; the other is the concluding volume of a, distributional “Check-list of the Birds of Mexico” (with L. Griscom, A. H. Miller, and R. T. Moore). Under a continuing grant from the Guggenheim Foundation he has carried on his investigation of the nature of the digestion of beeswax by honey-guides. Encouraging progress was made by substituting ordinary domestic chicks for the rare African honey-guide. Extensive progress was also made in Dr. Friedmann’s study of the problem of brood parasitism in the weaverbirds, and his report on it is about 75 percent complete. A few revisionary studies were made in a paper on the birds of Gaboon (with A. L. Rand), and he also completed a paper on the rediscovery of the Colombian red-eyed cowbird, the first one found in a century. It was discovered in a dealer’s shipment of live birds. Dr. Friedmann for two weeks was in residence at the University of California at Los Angeles as the first Lida Scott Brown Lecturer. <<>> He also lectured at the University of California at Berkeley, at the University of Arizona, and at the University of Maryland. Associate Curator Herbert G. Deignan contined his revisionary studies on the birds of southeastern Asia, and his work on the bulbuls, warblers, babblers, and other birds for the continuation of Peters’ “Check-list of Birds of the World”. Additions were also made to his completed manuscript catalogue of bird types in the Museum. Museum Aide Bernard R. Feinstein completed a study of the geographic variations of a little known North Pacific seabird, the whiskered auklet. Dr. A. Wetmore, research associate, though away part of the year collecting in Panama, devoted considerable time to work on the fifth edition of the A. O. U. “Check-list of North American Birds,” and also studied the extensive Panamanian and Colombian collections amassed in recent years. Reptiles and amphibians.—The nearly completed catalog of type material in the collections, which is being prepared by Curator Doris M. Cochran, will contain well over 1,600 names proposed since the establishment of the national collection over a century ago and based on National Museum material. Some work was accomplished on the bibliography for Parand and western Sao Paulo for the supplement to her “Frogs of Southeastern Brazil.” With the assistance of Werner Bokermann of Sao Paulo, who will become junior author of Dr. Cochran’s contemplated “Frogs of Western Brazil,” encouraging progress has been made in the collection of fresh material in the field. Fishes.—Curator Leonard P. Schultz and Associate Curator Ernest A. Lachner continued with the final revisions of volume 2 of Museum Bulletin 202, “The Fishes of the Marshall and Marianas Islands,” which was undertaken in conjunction with the 1946 atom bomb tests. Dr. Schultz initiated a study of the application of X-ray techniques in systematic ichthyology, beginning with the osteological relationship of parrotfishes, and also a study of the eels of the western Atlantic. His revision of the frogfishes, family Antennariidae, and of the parrot fishes, family Scaridae, are both in press. In addition to the revisions undertaken in connection with the Bikini report, Dr. Lachner has nearly completed a revision of the disk fishes, order Echeneiformes, and another of the family Gobiidae. Revisionary study of the families Apogonidae and Mullidae were also started in the course of the year. Dr. Lachner spent 44 months in Kurope on a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, from March 12 to July 27, 1956. Type specimens totaling 807, and over 4,000 other fish specimens, were examined in 10 museums in 7 foreign countries. He also examined the disk fishes and the barbeled minnows, genus Hybopsis, in the collections of Tulane University, New Orleans, dur <<>> ing the week of April 15, while attending the meetings of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. At this meeting he was elected to the editorial board of the Society. Associate Curator William Ralph Taylor is actively engaged in reporting on the fishes of the Arnhem Land Expedition 1948. He also has underway a revision of the North American catfishes, genus Noturus, known as mad-toms because of their venomous pectoral spines. The revision involves an analysis of the higher groups in the family Ictaluridae. Museum Aide Robert H. Kanazawa completed and submitted for publication his revision of the eels, genus Conger, in which are critically defined for the first time the genus itself and all known species referable to it; and a manuscript describing a new species, Coloconger meadi, and giving new records for the ateleopid fish [jzmaza antellarum, both from the Gulf of California. Insects.—Curator J. F. G. Clarke completed three papers: “Part 6, Oecophoridae, of the Microlepidoptera of Argentina”; “(New Species of Batrachedra Attached to Agave”; and “New Microlepidoptera from Japan.” ‘Two other papers are nearly complete: “The Status of Walshia amorpella Clemens,” and volume 6 of his large work, “Catalogue of the Type Specimens of Microlepidoptera in the British Museum (Natural History) described by Edward Meyrick.” Dr. Clarke meanwhile has resumed his study of the Microlepidoptera of the Juan Fernandez Islands. Associate Curator O. L. Cartwright continued his studies on the scarabid genera Ataenius, Onthophagus, and Lisyrus. His manuscript on the last-named genus is about 90 percent complete. June and July 1956 were spent at Portal, Ariz., collecting and making field observations on these beetles. He also further advanced two faunistic reports dealing with the Scarabaeidae of Micronesia and of Bikini. Associate Curator William D. Field completed his study of the genera Hypsochila, Phalia, and Piercolias of the family Pieridae, and progressed with revisions undertaken on the subgenus Calycopsis of the genus 7’eo/a and on the genus Baltia. Since coming to the Museum, Associate Curator R. EK. Crabill has completed four short papers: “The Newport Chilopod Genera”; “The Validity of Paroryavalida Cook”; “The Identity of the Gunthorp Types”; and “Notes on Plectrotaxic Criteria.” In progress are five others, dealing with the Geophilus mordax complex in northeastern North America, the centipedes of New York State, the genus Strigamza in eastern North America; the ethopoyine genotypes, and check-list of the Chilopoda of Virginia. Miss Sophie Parfin is making a study of the bionomics of the Mantispidae, and working on a paper with Dr. A. B. Gurney deal <<>> ing with aquatic Neuroptera for the forthcoming edition of Ward and Whipple’s “Freshwater Biology.” Marine Invertebrates—Curator Fenner A. Chace, Jr., collaborated with Talbot H. Waterman on the introductory chapter of a text on the physiology of Crustacea, soon to be published by the Academic Press. Currently, he is engaged in a study of the western Atlantic mantis shrimps of the genus Lysiosquilla. Associate Curator Frederick M. Bayer completed a manuscript on the octocorals collected in the Gulf of Mexico by the Fish and Wildlife Service M/V Oregon, with a brief discussion of the zoogeography of the octocorals of this area. He also completed a paper on two plexaurid gorgonians from California; it includes descriptions and figures of important type specimens from the Muséum Nationale d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, the Zoologisches Institut, Erlangen, and the Museum of Comparative Zoology, together with a key to the eastern Pacific plexaurid genera and a discussion of the zoogeographic affinities of the west American shallow-water fauna. A general survey of the shallow-water octocorals of the tropical western Atlantic and a revision of one of the families in this group, upon which Mr. Bayer has been engaged for some time, are nearing completion. Associate Curator Thomas E. Bowman completed and submitted for publication studies on a new calanoid copepod from the Caribbean Sea; on the first Pacific record of the amphipod whale louse Syncyamus,; on a new isopod of the genus Argathona from the Palau Islands; and, with Carlos Diaz-Ungria, a paper on aprasitic isopods from Venezuela. Dr. Bowman is also continuing work on the calanoid copepods collected during the first four cruises of the Fish and Wildlife Service M/V 7. XV. Gill off the southeastern United States, and on the amphipod genus Parathemisto in the North Pacific and adjacent Arctic Ocean. On March 29 Dr. Bowman visited the University of Hawaii and the Pacific Oceanic Fisheries Investigation headquarters in Honolulu to arrange for the study of certain of their plankton collections. Associate Curator Charles E. Cutress nearly completed his study of the Hawaiian shallow-water sea anemones. His other current studies on the sea anemones of the Marshall and Gilbert Islands and of Samoa and Tahiti are essentially completed, but they are being set aside until the specimens collected on the Smithsonian-Bredin Society Islands Expedition can be evaluated and the resulting information incorporated in those papers. From October 22 through November 6, 1956, he examined type material of sea anemones in the Peabody Museum, in the Museum of Comparative Zoology, and in the American Museum of Natural History. In February 1957 Mr. Cutress visited Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn., to arrange the transportation of a collection of miscellaneous invertebrates which that institution had <<>> donated to the national collections. En route to the Society Islands in March 1957 he examied sea anemone material at the Allan Hancock Foundation, University of Southern California. Clarence R. Shoemaker, associate in zoology, worked on the amphipod genera Synchelidium, Platyischnopus, Megalupropus, and Parorchestia. Horton H. Hobbs, Jr., research associate, completed a manuscript on the evolutionary history of the Pictus group of the crayfish genus Procambarus and has almost finished a second manuscript on new species and records in this group. During a 2-months’ visit to Mexico, he completed a study of the Cuban species of the ostracod genus E'ntocythere and began two other manuscripts, one on Cuban crayfishes and the other on Mexican and Cuban entocytherids. J. Percy Moore, collaborator, finished a brief report on the deepwater leeches of the British-Australian-New Zealand Antarctic Expedition. He has also, at the age of 88, done considerable anatomical work on the leech genera Macrobdella and Philobdella, demonstrating that these two are less closely related than previously believed. Under grant from the Carter Oil Company of Tulsa, Okla., Bertha M. Cutress on November 13 undertook a study of echinoid spines. During the year, 14 specialists in other institutions agreed to identify material of various groups of invertebrates, for most of which there are no specialists on our staff. Of the 24 shipments, involving more than 1,264 specimens, sent to these unofficial collaborators, 12, including more than 117 specimens, have already been returned. The specialists rendering these gratuitous services and the groups on which they work are: Dr. HE. L. Bousfield: Amphipod crus-| Dr. Paul L. Illg: Copepod crustaceans. taceans. Dr. Karl Lang: Tanaid crustaceans. Dr. Ralph W. Dexter: Branchiopod | Dr. Marvin C. Meyer: Leeches. crustaceans. Dr. Mary D. Rogick: Bryozoans. Dr. G. E. Gates: Harthworms. Dr. Willis L.

Ziesenhenne: Echinoderms. Dr. Dora P. Henry: Barnacles. Mollusks.—Curator Harald A. Rehder continued work on the superfamily Pyramidellacea for the “Treatise on Invertebrate Palentology.” He spent April and most of May in the field as a member of the Smithsonian-Bredin Society Islands Expedition, collecting and studying marine animals, with special emphasis on mollusks. Associate Curator Joseph P. E. Morrison did further work on the Ellobiidae, a family of salt-marsh snails, and the Hydrobiidae, a family of tiny fresh-water snails, and did considerable research on the Corbiculidae, a family of American brackish water clams. <<>> Research by visiting investigators. In addition to investigators from Federal agencies located in the Washington area, more than 1,098 (as compared with 216 last year) professional biologists and students interested in some phase of systematics or some group of animals, paid one or more visits to the Museum examining specimens, reference works, or in consultation with members of the staff.

Smith was in southern Brazil from October 1956 to May 1957 studying the flora of the region, with the support of a grant from the National Science Foundation and in collaboration with the Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues.” Over 5,000 numbers of plants were collected on the planalto of Santa Catarina and adjacent regions as a basis for phytogeographical research on the origin of the flora of southern Brazil. Large series from these collections were deposited in the Herbario “Barbosa Rodrigues,” the Museu Nacional, and the Jardim Botanico do Rio de Janerio as a basis for further collaboration in research with the U. S. National Museum. He visited a number of other Brazilian herbaria in an effort to promote closer relations in studies of mutual interest. With Dr. R. J. Downs, he continued preparation of a study of the Euphorbiaceae of the Brazilian State of Santa Catarina. In July he visited the Harvard University Herbarium and Library to carry on research studies. Dr. Smith supervised the work of two candidates for the degree of Ph. D. at George Washington University, such work being based very largely on the material in the National Herbarium. Associate Curator E. H. Walker continued the preparation of a flora of Okinawa. Originally planned as an annotated list, it was enlarged at the request of the U. S. Civil Administration of the Ryukyus by adding keys and brief descriptions. This change will greatly increase the usefulness of the flora, which will be published by the above organization and will complete Dr. Walker’s work on the botanical phase of the U. S. Government’s scientific investigation of the Ryukyu Islands, begun in 1951. Associate Curator E. C. Leonard continued preparation of a paper on the Acanthaceae of Argentina, completing the descriptions of the species and an index of about 400 available specimens. He is now engaged in writing the citations of specimens and making illustrations. Associate Curator Velva E. Rudd started work on a treatment of Aeschynomene for the “Flora Malesiana,” and initiated studies of several small genera of the Aeschynomeninae preparatory to completion of a revision of the entire subtribe. She spent a short time at the New York Botanical Garden examining material in connection with her current research. Dr. Richard S. Cowan, who joined the staff on May 1, 1957, as associate curator, plans to continue his research in the caesalpinioid Leguminosae. Mr. E. P. Killip, research associate, continued his collecting of plants on the Isle of Pines, Cuba, and in southern Florida. Grasses.—Curator Jason R. Swallen continued his studies of the grasses of southern Brazil. A small collection of grasses obtained by <<>> EK. Yale Dawson on the Machris Brazilian Expedition was found to include several new species from central Brazil. His descriptions of these will be published by the Los Angeles County Museum in the reports of the expedition. ‘Three papers were published, one on new grasses from Santa Catarina, Brazil, and the other two on the grasses of the Guayana Highland, Venezuela. Mrs. Agnes Chase, research associate, completed her work of editing and verifying the index of species of grasses, to which she has devoted most of her time over the past three years. Typing of the cards has also been finished. Dr. F. A. McClure, research associate, continued his work on bamboos under a grant from the Maria Moors Cabot Foundation of Harvard University. Assembling and processing of literature concerning the taxonomy of the bamboos continued under a grant from the National Science Foundation. An increase of about 500 percent of the publications available in photostat copies has made possible his preparation of a paper, “Typification of the Genera of the Bambusoideae, with Some Notes on Status,” to be published in Zaxon. Progress has been made on the revision of the subfamily Bambusoideae for the new edition of Engler and Prantl’s “Natiirlichen Pflanzenfamilien.” Ferns.—Curator C. V. Morton continued with the research projects now under way on the fern floras of Central America and Cuba. A series of studies of cultivated ferns and their nomenclature was started, and two papers have been prepared. In late July and early August Mr. Morton visited botanical gardens, arboretums, and herbariums in California, studying ferns in cultivation. Beginning on August 20, he attended the annual field trip of the American Fern Society: of which he was the organizer and one of the leaders. The trip, which started in the city of Quebec, Canada, and proceeded to the Gaspé Peninsula, occupied 6 days, during which time various interesting botanical localities were investigated, especially the slopes of Mount Albert, in Gaspé National Park, and Mount Sainte Anne, near Percé. A number of botanical collections were obtained for the Museum. He also attended the annual meetings of the American Institute of Biological Sciences at Storrs, Conn., August 27-29, where he presided at the annual meeting of the American Fern Society. Cryptogams.— Associate Curator Paul Conger continued his studies of the diatom flora of Chincoteague Bay, Md., and worked on a monographic revision of the genus Grammatophora. He also spent some time in the study of the significance and causes of abnormal forms of diatoms. Research by visiting investigators.—Dr. Kittie F. Parker, formerly of the University of Arizona, carried on her research on the <<>> western flora, especially Compositae. Dr. José Cuatrecasas continued as a resident investigator on the basis of a grant received by the Smithsonian Institution from the National Science Foundation, completing treatments of the Burseraceae and Malpighiaceae in his study of the flora of Colombia. Dr. Marshall C. Johnston: of Fort Detrick, Md., carried on research in the genus Dyssodia, using the herbarium on weekends throughout the year. Dr. George Black, of the Instituto Agronomico do Norte, Belém, Para, Brazil, completed his monograph of Avonopus. He returned to Brazil in October. Dr. Efraim Hernéndez X., Escuela Nacional de Agricultura, Mexico City, spent several months at the herbarium studying the grasses of Mexico. Other visitors who spent shorter periods in the department consulting the collections included Lyman Benson, Pomona College; I. D. Clement, Atkins Garden and Research Laboratory, Cienfuegos, Cuba; Leslie A. Garay, University of Toronto; Rogers McVaugh, University of Michigan; George B. Van Schaack, Missouri Botanical Garden; Clair A. Brown, Louisiana State University; Prof. P. N. Mehra, Punjab University, Amritsar, India; Rolla M. Tryon, Missouri Botanical Garden; Richard D. Wood, University of Rhode Island; and John L. Stone, Royal Microscopical Society, London. Staff members of other government agencies, especially the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture, continue to use the facilities of the department regularly. Geology Mineralogy and Petrology.—Acting Curator George Switzer completed work on a new mineral from Mexico, paratellurite, a tetragonal form of tellurium dioxide. A restudy of the rare mineral pilinite was also completed, done jointly with Miss Laura Reichen of the U. S. Geological Survey. Work was continued on a long-term research project involving a detailed study of the sulfates and related minerals. 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. During the year Dr. Switzer was a member of the panel on industrial diamonds, organized by the Materials Advisory Board of the National Academy of Sciences in order to advise the Office of Defense Mobilization on a research program to compare the properties and performance of man-made diamonds with natural diamonds. Associate Curator E. P. Henderson completed descriptions of several unstudied meteorites in the Museum collection, and directed part of a U.S. Air Force research program dealing with meteorites (AF 18 (600) 1596). 437255—57-—_5 <<>> The phase of the Air Force project being pursued here under Mr. Henderson’s direction deals essentially with the morphology of meteorites. The work involves making an album of photographs of meteorites, and relating internal structures to surface features of those meteorites which show an indication of having been orientated or fractured in flight. Plaster models are made and cross sections cut to determine the center of the mass, and to observe the form and angularity of the specimens. Much of the technical work is being done by Mr. Grover Moreland, physical science aide, Mr. Jack Scott, photographer, and Mr. Robert Jones, museum aide. Invertebrate Paleontology and Paleobotany.—Head Curator G. A. Cooper has a number of projects under way: two of them are in the Permian, three in the Mississippian, one in the Devonian, and one in Recent and Tertiary brachiopods. That on the Permian of the Glass Mountains is a continuing project on which progress to date has consisted of gathering together the collection and sorting it into genera. The coliection is now assembled in 31 standard quarter-unit cases, and an aide is engaged in the 4-year task of processing and describing it: The second Permian project, a description of the brachiopods from the Permian of north-central Texas collected by Dr. R. C. Moore, is being done in conjunction with the Glass Mountains studies. Of the three Mississippian projects started, one is on the early Mississippian brachiopods of the Caballero formation of the Sacramento Mountains, and the second is on the beautiful brachiopods from the Lake Valley formation of New Mexico; in both, the collections have been assembled and the specimens are being made ready for photography. In the third, on the Mississippian brachiopods of Oregon, all the specimens have been prepared, the pictures made, and only writing the manuscript remains to be done. For the Devonian project, a description of the Devonian fossils from the Sacramento and San Andres Ranges in New Mexico, the specimens are being prepared. For the final project, a description of the Tertiary and Recent rhynchonellid brachiopods, the pictures have been made and completion of the manuscript is scheduled for the end of 1957. In mid-August Dr. Cooper, in company with Dr. C. O. Dunbar of Yale University and Dr. L. G. Henbest of the U. S. Geological Survey, went to Marathon, Tex., where a week was spent in examination of critical parts of the Glass Mountains section with the idea of reaching a conclusion on age determinations. After the week in the Glass Mountains, Cooper and Dunbar went to Nogales, Ariz., and thence to the International Geological Congress in Mexico. After the Congress in late September, Cooper returned to Nogales and took the car to Alamogordo, N. Mex., where he was joined by Arthur L. Bowsher and <<>> J. Thomas Dutro of the U. S. Geological Survey. The party spent about five weeks studying the Devonian sediments exposed in the Sacramento and San Andres Mountains, which bound the east and west sides of the White Sands area. A good collection was made of the Devonian fossils which are to be jointly described by Dutro and Cooper. At the November meetings of the Paleontological Society, Dr. Cooper was elected president of that organization for the year 1956-57. Associate Curator Alfred R. Loeblich, Jr. (in collaboration with his wife, Helen T. Loeblich, research associate), spent the bulk of his time in this fiscal year on research connected with his program on the planktonic Foraminifera, completing eight manuscripts, some of which, together with those from other contributors to the project, will make a volume to be published as U. S. National Museum Bulletin 215 in fiscal 1958. The two also continued their studies on the genera of the “smaller” Foraminifera to be included in the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, which they expect to finish late in the present fiscal year or early in the next. The research of the Loeblichs included not only taxonomic work but studies in correlations based on the distribution of the planktonic Foraminifera. They have made a contribution to the difficult problem of the recognition of the Paleocene and its separation from the Cretaceous. On July 7, 1956, Dr. Loeblich and Dr. Hans Bolli of Trinidad Oil Company, Ltd., Trinidad, B. W. I., left Washington for Alabama and Texas to make a study of the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary in those States and to collect foraminiferal samples from the strata overlying this boundary. In addition, samples were collected from the Paleocene strata (Wilcoxian and Midwayian). A further object of the study was to get background information for correlation of late Cretaceous and early Tertiary strata along the Atlantic Coastal Plain across Alabama into Texas. In addition to the expedition to Alabama and Texas, several trips were made by Dr. Loeblich to nearby Maryland and Virginia to collect foraminiferal samples from high Cretaceous and Eocene strata exposed near Washington. During the Council meetings of the Society of Economic Paleontologists, Dr. Loeblich was appointed chairman of a committee to study the long-range publication policies of the Journal of Paleontology and the Journal of Sedimentary Petrology. On June 27, 1957, Dr. Loeblich left the Museum to join the staff of the California Research Corporation, in Los Angeles, Calif. Associate Curator David Nicol is widening his studies on the Paleozoic pelecypods, a group that has not received its due of attention. The national collection of these fossils is a fine one but has never been properly organized or studied in detail. <<>> In July 1956 Nicol visited the Bermuda Biological Station for Research, where he collected living mollusks and obtained a collection of gorgonians and other material. He also collected fossil bird bones, land shells, and fossil marine mollusks. All these expeditions resulted in new material for the national collections. The scientific illustrators, Lawrence and Patricia Isham, prepared more than 1,200 drawings of the smaller Foraminifera for Dr. Loeblich, in addition to drawings of skulls and bones for Dr. Gazin, of fishes or parts of fishes for Dr. Dunkle, and a number of drawings for Dr. Cooper, Dr. Nicol, and other members of the Museum staff. The Ishams also prepared an assortment of exhibit labels, exhibit sketches, diagrams and maps. The Ishams’ drawings of Foraminifera have been applauded by many workers who use the papers in which their drawings appear. Dr. R. S. Bassler, research associate, completed his study of the Ordovician cystoids, an extinct group of echinoderms, on which he has been working since his retirement in 1948. Dr. C. W. Cooke, research associate, is completing a manuscript on American Tertiary echinoids of eastern United States for publication in the Professional Papers series of the U. S. Geological Survey. Museum Aide Henry B. Roberts reorganized the collection of fossil crabs and arranged the specimens by families. Mr. Roberts is also continuing his researches on the Cretaceous crabs of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. He is revising old collections and working on new material from Mississippi. Vertebrate Paleontclogy.— Curator C. L. Gazin completed his study of material of the ground sloth Fremotherium rusconti collected in 1950 and 1951 near Octi and Pesé, Panama. The results of these studies appear in the Appendix of the Smithsonian Annual Report for 1956. He also completed a study of an unusually well-preserved skull of the middle Eocene creodont Patriofelis ulta collected by a party from the University of Utah and submitted to him for description. He has also started a review and revision of middle Eocene primates, numerous at that time but almost disappearing from temperate North America after the Eocene. In early summer Dr. Gazin, Exhibits Specialist Franklin L. Pearce, and Exhibits Worker Theodore Ruhoff carried on field work in Wyoming and adjacent Nebraska. In the Wind River Basin the party was successful in obtaining upper Eocene artiodactyls. The quarries in which Coryphodon was discovered in 1954 were reopened and two more skeletons and another skull were obtained. Lower Eocene material was collected near the New Fork of the Green River and in Fossil Basin, Wyo. Investigation was made of the lower Oligocene exposures north of Harrison, Nebr., with good results. <<>> In connection with his researches on middle Eocene primates, Dr. Gazin visited Princeton and Yale Universities to study and borrow specimens important to his researches. During the year Dr. Gazin was appointed to serve for three years as representative of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in the Earth Sciences Division of the National Research Council. He continued to represent the same society as a director of the American Geological Institute. He also continues to serve as chairman of the Eocene Subcommittee of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s Committee on Nomenclature and Correlation of the North American Continental Cenozoic. Although Associate Curator David H. Dunkle has been deeply engaged with plans for rehabilitating the exhibit hall of lower vertebrates, he has made progress in his studies on the Jurassic fish fauna of Cuba and on the vertebrate fossils of the Cretaceous Mowry formation of Wyoming and Montana. During his trip to Europe to obtain exhibition specimens of the lower vertebrates, he visited some of the British and European leaders in his field and had opportunity to see their laboratories and methods of study. Of especial value was his visit to the celebrated laboratory of Dr. Erik Stensi6, famous for the techniques he has developed in the study of fossil fishes. In May Dr. Dunkle spent two weeks in the field with Dr. G. E. Lewis of the U. S. Geological Survey, collecting mammal-like reptiles in the Kayenta formation of northeastern Arizona. Material of four tritylodonts and a protosuchian were found. Dr. Dunkle served as chairman of the Committee on National Science Foundation Post-doctoral Fellowships for the Division of Earth Sciences of the National Research Council, and as a member of the Cleveland (Ohio) Museum of Natural History Visiting Committee.

E. White, National Park Service, Dinosaur National Monument, Utah, skull structure of the Jurassic dinosaur Camarasaurus. Engineering and Industries Engineering.—Scripts have been completed for the Museum of History and Technology halls of tools, ight machinery, physics, and chemistry. The manuscript of a booklet describing the new Hall of Power Machinery was completed by Head Curator Robert P. Multhauf, and a catalogue of the phonograph collection is in preparation by Associate Curator Edwin A. Battison and Leslie Newville. Research papers have been completed on the history of the milling machine, by Curator Robert S. Woodbury; the natural philosophy of William Gilbert, by Associate Curator W. James King; 17-century mining machinery, by Dr. Robert P. Multhauf; the early his <<>> tory of the low-cost watch, by Edwin A. Battison; and the invention of the Graphophone, by Leslie Newville. A report on Kuropean museums of science was prepared for publication by Dr. Multhauf, who was elected to the Council of the History of Science Society, and president of the Washington History of Science Club. Medicine and public health.—Curator George B. Griffenhagen completed a script for the Museum of History and Technology exhibit of medical science, and published a booklet on the tools of the apothecary. Hecontinued research in this field with articles on the pharmaceutical show-globe, ceramic apothecary jar, and mortar and pestle. With James Harvey Young, he completed an extensive study of the impact of old English patent medicines in America. Mr. Griffenhagen served as executive secretary of the Fourth PanAmerican Congress of Pharmacy and Biochemistry. In connection with this duty he visited South America, including in this tour visits to museums of medicine and pharmacy in Peru, Brazil, Cuba, and Venezuela. He was also re-elected to the position of secretary of the section on historical pharmacy of the American Pharmaceutical Association; appointed chairman of a special coordinating committee of the American Association of the History of Medicine, the American Academy of the History of Dentistry, the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy, and the History of Science Society; elected a “membre extraordinaire’ of the Academie International d’Histoire de la Pharmacie; and elected president of the Friends of Historical Pharmacy. Crafts and industries.—The scheduling of the exhibit halls of textiles and agriculture for renovation in the immediate future has entailed considerable research towards documentation and presentation by Associate Curators Grace L. Rogers and Edward C. Kendall. Miss Rogers completed an article on the history of the Scholfield wool-carding machine, and made significant progress on a catalog of the sampler collection. Mr.. Kendall has nearly completed a short description of the Hohenheim plow collection. Industrial cooperation.—Curator Philip W. Bishop has in progress a study of Alexander Lyman Holley and the 19th-century steel industry, a portion of which is scheduled for early publication. Graphic arts.—Curator Jacob Kainen conducted research in Europe under a grant from the American Philosophical Society in connection with his nearly completed study of the color woodcuts of John Baptist Jackson. He completed two papers of smaller scope, on Jackson and his chiaroscuros, and on the work of Thomas Bewick in wood engraving. During his trip to Europe, Mr. Kainen visited museums in Holland, Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, and England. <<>> Associate Curator A. J. Wedderburn, Jr., is engaged in a study of early daguerreotype portraits which will be completed within the year. Research by visiting investigators—A number of individuals worked in the collections. Mrs. Peter MacDonald and Mrs. Richard Wallis of the Junior League of Washington were assisted in preparing guided tours of the hall of power machinery. Dr. B. Francis Kukachka of the U. S. Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, Wis., visited the section of wood technology in connection with his critical investigation of woods of the Sapotaceae. Dr. Louis Marin, Madrid, Spain, examined our wood collection and studied literature on wood anatomy. He was particularly interested in photo-micrographs of wood. David J. Culver, of the Culver Service, New York City, was assisted in research dealing with the daguerreotype, calotype, and other early forms of photography, and was furnished with a number of photographs which later appeared in American Heritage. Gordon Hendricks, who is writing a history of motion picture photography, received several days’ assistance in research on this subject during his visit to the Museum. Irving Browning, president of the Society of Cinema Historians, was assisted during his visit to the section of photography to inspect that part of the research collection relating to the history of motion pictures. Six members of the staff of the Mariners’ Museum of Newport News, Va., who visited the Museum to inspect the print collection were advised on methods for storing and preserving photographic prints. Among visitors who conducted research in the section of graphic arts were two from foreign countries: Ercumend Kalmik, Technical University, Department of Architecture, Istanbul, Turkey, and Jalal U. Ahmed, Karachi, Pakistan. History Civil History.—Associate Curator Margaret Brown Klapthor completed a paper on umbrellas for the Hncyclopedia Britannica and completed research for a supplement, on the inaugural dress of Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower, to the Smithsonian publication “The Dresses of the First Ladies of the White House.” Mrs. Klapthor lectured to groups in the Washington area on the First Ladies Hall and on costumes in general, and again lectured on museum techniques of preservation and exhibition at the second annual short course on Historic Housekeeping, sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in Cooperstown, N. Y. She also acted as consultant to the National Park Service on the costumes depicted in the dioramas prepared for the Jamestown Festival. <<>> Work has been started on a catalog of the important Copp collection, of personal and household possessions of the Copp family of New England. Mrs. Murray and Mr. Dorman have been doing research on specimens in the collection as they prepare the specimens for exhibition. The collection has archival value because it covers an early period of national development and it has always remained together. Mr. Dorman continued work on a descriptive catalog of American furniture in the collections. Mrs. Murray began a descriptive catalog of the Quaker costumes and accessories, reported to be one of the finest and most complete in any museum in this country. Military history.—Acting Curator of Military History Edgar M. Howell completed his study of Russian guerrilla activity in World War II. The volume was published by the Department of the Army under the title, “The Soviet Partisan Movement, 1941-1944.” Mr. Howell also studied the collections, exhibit techniques, and preservation methods in the principal military museums of Spain, France, Austria, Belgium, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the United Kingdom. During May, he represented the Smithsonian Institution at the International Congress of Museums of Arms and Military Equipment at Copenhagen, Denmark. Assistant Curator Craddock R. Goins, Jr., continued his studies of the Edward Maynard firearms and papers. Naval History.—Acting Head Curator Mendel L. Peterson continued his study of the marking and decoration of muzzle-loading cannon, examining collections in Jamaica, Cuba, at Governors Island, N. Y., and at Boston, Mass. He also continued his study of the life of Daniel Noble Johnson, purser’s clerk in the U. S. Navy in the early 1840’s, with annotations to Johnson’s journals kept on board the U.S. 8S. Delaware and Enterprise on the Brazil and Rio del Plata stations in the years 1841-1848. While on temporary special duty with the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, he prepared a paper on museums in the naval service which is being distributed to ships and stations through the naval establishment. Mr. E. A. Link continued his support of the marine archaeology project with a substantial grant of funds and direction of field work in Jamaica at the site of Old Port Royal. Dr. Vladimir Clain-Stefanelli was appointed curator of numismatics October 1, 1956. He is continuing his study of American engravers and medallists, and conducted a brief study of Confederate currency plates and of emergency paper money issues of 1848 in Palmanova. Curator of Philately Franklin R. Bruns, Jr., as one of three philate- lists, was appointed to the Post Office Department’s Stamp Advisory <<>> Committee, charged with selecting subject matter and designs for future United States stamps. He received the 1956 SEPAD (Associated Stamp Clubs of Southeastern Pennsylvania and Delaware) for outstanding national philatelic achievement, and was elected a director of the Fine Arts Unit of the American Topical Association. Research by visiting investigators.—Among the outside investigators assisted in their study of the collections were: The Costumes Committee of the York County Historical Society; Mrs. Judy Seidenberg, costumes consultant of the Cabildo, New Orleans, La.; Rear Admiral W. R. Furlong, U.S. N. (Ret.), who is preparing a book on flags, and who studied a number of specimens in the collections; and Mr. Harold Peterson, of the National Park Service, who studied a number of specimens in the collections in the preparation of a volume on American knives. Studying the philatelic collections were Morton Dean Joyce, Elliott Perry, William Maisel, George Slawson, Edward Conger, and Ellery Denison. Also, representatives of the U.S. Secret Service, the Treasury and Post Office Departments, the Library of Congress, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. <<>> Publications In addition to the Annual Report, the National Museum issued 23 publications based on research in the national collections. Of these, 5 were in the Bulletin series, 17 were in the Proceedings series, and 1 was a Contribution from the United States National Herbarium.
