Introduction Rapid progress in planning the building for the Museum of History and Technology permitted the date for the start of construction to be advanced to the summer of 1958. The architects for the building, McKim, Mead and White, submitted drawings for the entire building in the tentative stage, made excellent progress on the working drawings, and completed the specifications and drawings for the excavation and foundations. At the close of the fiscal year, temporary buildings on the site were being demolished to clear the land for ground breaking in August. The design of the building previously approved by the Board of Regents, with the advice of the Joint Congressional Committee, was approved unanimously by the Commission of Fine Arts. The National Capital Planning Commission approved the location of the building on the site. Senator Clinton P. Anderson, Chairman, Joint Committee on Construction of a Building for the Museum of History and Technology for the Smithsonian Institution, reviewed the legislative history of the building and the progress made in its design in the report, submitted to the United States Senate (Senate No. 1437, 85th Congress, 2nd Session, April 16, 1958), which follows: The Joint Congressional Committee on Construction of a Building for a Museum of History and Technology for the Smithsonian Institution submits this report on the progress of the planning and construction of the building, pursuant to section 4 of Publie Law 106 (84th Cong., 69 Stat. 189). <<>> This act, approved June 28, 1955, authorized appropriations of not to exceed $36 million to carry out the provisions of the act. The Supplemental Appropriation Act of 1956, approved August 4, 1955, provided the Smithsonian Institution with funds for the preparation of plans and specifications for the building in the amount of $2,288,000. On January 13, 1956, the Board of Regents selected the firm of McKim, Mead & White as architects for the building. On March 16, 1956, the Government entered into a contract with this firm. On May 14, 1956, the joint committee organized and selected Senator Clinton P. Anderson as chairman, and Hon. John M. Vorys as secretary. Prior to this time, the members of the committee had each approved individually the selection of the architects. At the meeting of the joint committee, June 12, 1956, the architects presented to the committee scale models of more than 20 designs of buildings which they had developed. The committee examined these as they were successively placed on a model of the Mall, which included the Federal Triangle and other buildings bordering upon the Mall. The committee recommended that two of the designs be studied further and a subsequent report be made by the architects. The Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriation Act of 1957, approved June 13, 1956, provided the remainder of the authorized funds totaling $33,712,000 for the construction of the building. At a meeting on July 16, 1956, the joint committee considered the report ot the architects on the design studies requested. The members recommended further study with particular reference to the functional use and interior arrangement of the building. The committee requested that the results be presented to the committee at a meeting to be called after the convening of the 85th Congress. At a meeting held February 5, 1957, the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution informed the joint committee that studies of the 2 schemes made by the Smithsonian staff, with the assistance of the architects, indicated that 1 scheme Detail of the Museum of History and Technology, Constitution Avenue side, under evening illumination. Rendition by Hugh Ferriss. <<>> was superior in utility. The joint committee was informed that this design also was preferred by the architects and by certain members of the Commission of Fine Arts who had had occasion to comment on it. This was also the design which had received informal preference by members of the joint committee at earlier meetings. The joint committee voted unanimously to advise the Regents of the Smithsonian Institution of the committee’s preference for this design. The building is of a rectangular shape, having an extended first floor which provides a terrace around the base of the mass containing the upper floors. The exterior walls of the building above the terrace are broken by repeated wide flat bays and recesses which relate in scale to the design of the buildings of the Federal Triangle across Constitution Avenue. The committee was informed that the National Capital Planning Commission had an opportunity to view a model of the building on the model of the Mall and had tentatively approved the proposed placement of the building on the site. After several meetings and an exchange of advices between the committee and the Regents of the Smithsonian concerning construction costs and building size, the committee on July 2, 1957, advised the Regents to plan a building of approximately 13 million cubic feet, which it is estimated can be built within the appropriated funds. It is recognized that, as planned from the first, funds for cases and related interior equipment of the building will be requested by the Smithsonian in its annual budget estimates as such equipment is needed. The joint committee has been informed that the Regents have acted to accept the advice of the committee and that since July the architects have developed diagrammatic designs of the building and submitted further tentative drawings. The architects are now at work upon detailed drawings and procedures necessary to produce the specifications for the building. It is expected that bids for the construction of the building will be requested late in 1958. The committee is informed also that the Commission of Fine Arts meeting November 21, 1957, to view scale models of the design, were unanimously of the <<>> opinion that the design is a handsome one and expressed themselves as glad to approve it as shown in the models. The National Capital Planning Commission meeting December 6, 1957, approved the location of the building on the site. Planning for the interior of the Museum also was accelerated. Designs for most of the exhibition halls requiring special architectural treatment were completed by the Museum staff, and the architects prepared working drawings for many of them. John C. Ewers, ethnologist and administrative officer, directed the Museum staff planning of all interior areas. Eugene Kingman, Director of the Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, reviewed many of the exhibition plans and contributed constructive criticism of them. The Museum of Natural History and the Museum of History and Technology were established as the two elements of the United States National Museum. Frank A. Taylor was appointed Director, Museum of History and Technology. Congress appropriated funds for the design and the preparation of working drawings for the construction of additions to the Natural History Building. The architects, Mills, Petticord and Mills, submitted tentative drawings with a model of the building and made Architectural rendition showing the existing building of the Museum of Natural History, viewed from Constitution Avenue, with the proposed new wings added. <<>> <<>> <<>> excellent progress with the working drawings. The Museum committee for the planning of the wings, under the chairmanship of Dr. T. Dale Stewart, together with the individual curators, all under the personal direction of Dr. Remington Kellogg, Assistant Secretary and Director of the United States National Museum, compiled a detailed program of requirements which contributed essentially to the rapid progress of the plans. The Commission of Fine Arts approved the design of the building as shown in the architects’ model, and the National Capital Planning Commission approved the location of the wings on the site. Throughout the year’s planning of the two building projects, the Public Buildings Service of the General Services Administration contributed valuable advice and assistance in advancing, coordinating, and approving the plans. Leonard L. Hunter, Assistant Commissioner for Design and Construction, gave wise counsel and _ professional direction to the progress of the work through its various technical stages and presented the buildings before the approving agencies. Many of his colleagues gave the work their valued attention. John E. Cudd, architect of the Public Buildings Service, assigned as laison to the Smithsonian Institution, contributed greatly to all phases of the two projects, assembling data on requirements, advising the Museum staff on the arrangement of their planned facilities, and assisting the architects in arranging discussions and obtaining decisions on many questions of design and procedures. Funds Allotted From the funds appropriated by Congress to carry on the operations of the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus during the fiscal year 1958, the sum of $2,491,144 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 No aspect of the museum’s varied activities illustrates so concretely as does the exhibits program the results that can be achieved through the cooperative efforts of many talented individuals. Into this complex program are channeled the specialized knowledge and skills of curators, designers, reviewing specialists, artists and technicians, and of museum aids and service personnel. The results certainly testify to the quality of this cooperation and augur well for the future progress of this activity, for public interest in—and enthusiasm for— the modernized halls that have been reopened has been most satisfying. During this fifth year of the continuing modernization program were opened the hall of health, the hall of North American Indians and Eskimos, the second of two halls portraying native peoples of the Americas, and the hall of military history. Eleven halls have now been renovated and two were nearing completion at year’s end. Under the over-all coordination and supervision of the exhibits committee of which Dr. Herbert Friedmann is chairman, the renovation program continues to move forward with John E. Anglim, chief exhibits specialist, in charge of the design and preparation of exhibits, ably assisted by Rolland O. Hower, exhibits specialist, and William L. Brown, chief taxidermy exhibits specialist in the Museum of Natural History, and Benjamin W. Lawless, in charge of exhibits work for the Arts and Industries Building. Design of the new halls has been greatly aided by Eugene EK. Witherell, director of the architectural and structural division of the Public Buildings Service and the General Services Administration and Harry T. Wooley, design architect of that agency. The development of exhibit plans for the Museum of History and Technology, being coordinated by John C. Ewers, administrative officer, has thus far resulted in the completion of 22 hall designs, blueprints of which have been furnished the architects so that all built-in features may be specified in their working drawings for the building. The next step in exhibits development involves the planning of individual exhibit units for design and production, and curators’ plans for four halls have advanced to this stage. The production laboratory which, under Bela S. Bory, is preparing modernized exhibits for the Arts and Industries building, will create these exhibits for the Museum of History and Technology. Meanwhile the modernization program has been coordinated with the development of exhibits <<>> for the new museum so that exhibits installed in the Arts and Industries building may be readily transferred to the Museum of History and Technology when that structure is completed. During the year Joseph George Weiner, publications writer, assumed responsibility for the editing of all exhibits labels, Eugene Kingman, director of the Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebr., aided both curators and designers as exhibits planning consultant, and in May, Carroll Lusk, museum lighting specialist of Richmond, Va., began a period of service as exhibits lighting consultant. Anthropology On the evening of December 8, 1957, Mrs. Mabel A. Byrd, administrative assistant to the director of the museum and herself of Seneca Indian descent, cut a ribbon to open formally the second Indian hall to the public. In the dedication ceremony Dr. Leonard Carmichael paid tribute to the many farsighted men and women who, over a period of a century and a half, collected the ethnological specimens displayed in this hall. With an adjoining hall depicting the Indians of California, the Southwest, and Latin America, renovated in 1955, this completes the modernization of exhibits interpreting the ethnology of the Americas. Exhibits in this hall portray the traditional cultures of the Eskimos and of the Indians of the Subarctic region, the Eastern Woodlands, <<>> The New World peoples showed’ a high degree of imagination and skill in using the resources of their environment. At the conjunction of the two halls dealing with the Native Peoples of the Americas stands this map mural, painted by exhibits specialist Frank Dobias.

The displays show many aspects of the daily life of the various cultural groups, such as the farm implements of the river valley farmers of the Plains (bottom left), as well as of their exotic customs, such as the potlatch of the Northwest Coast Indians (bottom right). <<>> 479802—58 <<>> the Great Plains, the Northwestern Plateau and the North Pacific Coast, pointing out these peoples’ uses of the natural resources of their respective environments in their daily lives, their arts and crafts, and their religious ceremonies. Among the historically significant objects on display are Sitting Bull’s rifle, a war club collected by the Lewis and Clark expedition, and the Great Wampum Belt symbolizing the union of mid-western tribes formed by the Shawnee chief Tecumseh to halt the advance of white settlement. A feature of this hall is a life-size group which portrays the home life of an average Arapaho Indian family about 75 years ago. While the warrior and his wife entertain visitors inside a completely furnished tipi—which stands more than 17 feet high on a pole foundation coyered with 14 buffalo skins carefully pieced and sewn together—the children play with their toys outside, and a woman prepares pemmican from dried meat and wild cherries.

Cooper and David H. Dunkle, associate curator of vertebrate paleontology. Four colorful and instructive new habitat groups, being prepared for this installation by George Marchand of Ann Arbor, Mich., will portray the life of the Upper Ordovician, Lower Devonian, Mississippian (featuring crinoids), and Upper Cretaceous. Preparation of exhibit materials in the laboratory progressed. F. L. Pearce, chief of the laboratory, nearly completed the restoration and mounting of the previously flattened and composite arthrodire skull. G.D.Guadagni prepared the strikingly large fish Xzphactinus from the Cretaceous of Texas. T. B. Ruhoff has worked out braincases of pycnodont, scaumenacid, and macropetalichthid fishes, and K. F. Hauschildt completed several small fishes to be displayed on slabs. J. E. Ott prepared exhibits of the fish Dipteruws and Coccosteus, he mounted the skull of Oricotus, an embolomerous amphibian from the Pennsylvanian beds of Ohio, and also prepared and made the necessary restoration of a skeleton of the Oligocene horse Mesohippus, which will be exhibited in the renovated hall of fossil mammals. A group of attractive mineral specimens from Arizona and a large mass of uranium ore from Colorado were exhibited in the United States Pavilion at the Brussels World’s Fair. The general layout of the hall of oceanic life has been approved and detailed planning of exhibits for this hall has begun. Exhibits spe <<>> cialist Thomas G. Baker has worked closely with the committee of curators in developing the design of this hall. John C. Widener completed the scale model of a blue whale and assisted Mr. Baker in preparing plans for the construction of the 100-foot life-size whale replica which will be a feature exhibit in the hall. A cast of the “living fossil’? Latimeria, the coelacanth from the western Indian ocean, was placed on exhibition in the foyer. This fish, the most remarkable vertebrate discovery of recent years, represents the stock that may have given rise to land vertebrates many millions of years ago. Science and Technology Four years of exhibition planning and development culminated in the opening of the new hall of health on the evening of November 2, 1957. Official ceremonies featured addresses by Dr. John D. Porterfield, Deputy Surgeon General of the Public Health Service, Dr. Fred L. Soper, Director of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau, and Secretary Leonard Carmichael. The distinguished members of the committee of consultants who assisted curator George B. Griffenhagen in planning the content ot the hall were introduced. Architectural design was by Benjamin W. Lawless; graphic design by Paul C. Batto. Man’s knowledge of his body through the ages is the theme of this hall, which contrasts old ideas with current knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. Emphasis throughout is on health rather than disease, and full use is made of modern exhibit techniques to show how the normal, healthy human body is put together and how it functions. Thus the hall of health supplements existing exhibits interpreting the history of medical, dental, and pharmaceutical instruments and technology. >> In the new hall of health visitors learn how the human body functions.

Four loan exhibits from the National Library of Medicine were placed on display. The pictorial exhibit on the history of surgery, donated by the American Cyanamid Company, was renovated. Existing exhibits were improved during the year through the restoration of the Henry electromagnet and the Morse telegraph, the renovation of the collection of antique astrolabes, sun dials, and compasses, and the renovation of the Howard tower clock. Ship models in the watercraft hall were repaired and restored as time permitted. Arts and Manufactures Renovation of the graphic arts exhibits in the connecting range of the Smithsonian building was nearing completion at year’s end, with reopening of the revised hall, illustrating the history and methods of printmaking by various hand processes, scheduled for July 1958. Scripts for this hall and an adjoining one, interpreting photomechanical processes employed in graphic arts, were written by curator Jacob Kainen. The hall layout and the designs for special exhibits cases and fixtures were by Bright N. Springman. The graphics designer was Judith Borgogni. The exhibits in these two halls will eventually be transferred to the Museum of History and Technology where they will form part of a large hall of graphic arts. Jn accordance with plans by acting curator of textiles Grace Rogers and exhibits designer Thaddeus O. McDowell, a modernized textile hall is being developed in the south hall of the Arts and Industries building to interpret the history of textiles and to show how they have been made. Paul C. Batto completed the graphic design of these exhibits. Five full-size textile machines were renovated for exhibition and a scale model of James Hargreave’s original spinning jenny was built in the exhibit laboratory from the specifications in Hargreave’s patent of 1770. The exhibits will be installed and the hall reopened early in the winter of fiscal 1959. Leather and saddlery displays in the south hall gallery were reinstalled in the east side of the inorganic chemistry hall, and renovation of the area to display methods of printing fabrics, specimens of needlework, and the history of the sewing machine was commenced. A demountable system of panels and cases is being employed in these modernized halls so that the exhibits may be readily transferred and reinstalled in the Museum of History and Technology. With this in mind, the hall of textiles in the new building has been designed by Mr. McDowell from Miss Rogers’ script. <<>> Exhibits planning for the Museum of History and Technology has also included the design of the following halls: Hall Curator Designer Ceramics . Paul V. Gardner . Dorothy Guthrie Glass . Paul V. Gardner . ; Dorothy Guthrie Photography Alexander Wedderburn Anne Karras Head curator Philip W. Bishop completed a script for the hall of petroleum, on the west side of the southwest range of the Arts and Industries building, which is to be renovated with the cooperation of petroleum industry. With the assistance of exhibits designer Thaddeus O. McDowell, Dr. Bishop prepared preliminary specifications for the subdivision of that portion of the first floor of the Museum of History and Technology to be devoted to industrial exhibits. The monthly exhibits of pictorial photography were continued during the year, and three special exhibits in graphic arts were shown.

Gardner arranged two exhibitions during the year. The Sixth International Exhibition of Ceramic Art, sponsored by the Kiln Club of Washington, displayed outstanding contemporary ceramics from the United States and foreign countries during the period August 27 to September 27. Porcelain and pottery by the noted Japanese artist, Hajime Kato, of the Tokyo University of Arts, were featured in the exhibition. From December 28 to January 16, an exhibition, “Glass from the Ancient World,’ presented more than 700 rare pieces from the Ray Winfield <<>> "Glass from the Ancient World," an exhibit of the Ray Winfield Smith collection, was a feature of the winter season in the foyer gallery of the Natural History building. On display were over 700 pieces from the period I5th century B. C. to I2th century A. D. Right: Double balsamarium of clear glass, pre-Islamic or Islamic, possibly Syria, about 6th—-8th century A. D. Right: Luster cup, possibly Persia, 9th-I2th century A. D. <<>> Smith collection. This famous collection of ancient glass dating from 1500 B. C. to 1200 A. D., believed to be the largest privately owned, includes such outstanding pieces as the Daphne vase, Aphrodite torso, Paris plate, and a very important series of Islamic glass. It has not been shown in its entirety until this year. Two alcoves in the Alfred Duane Pell collection and four other cases of ceramic and glass materials were renovated during the year. Civil History The arrangement of exhibits was determined for the four large halls, emphasizing different aspects of the civil history of our nation, which will occupy the east half of the second floor of the Museum of History and Technology. Exhibits specialist Benjamin W. Lawless designed an enlarged first ladies hall from a script prepared by associate curator Margaret Brown Klapthor. Robert Widder designed the hall of historic Americans and the hall of costumes to meet the exhibits requirements of acting curator of political history Wilcomb E. Washburn and assistant curator Anne Murray, respectively. And John E. Anglim, working closely with acting curator of cultural history C. Malcolm Watkins, laid out the exhibits for the hall of everyday life in the American past. A design for a hall presenting the history of money and medalic art was completed by exhibits designer William B. Eddy on the basis of a script by curator of numismatics Vladimir Clain-Stefanelli and assistant curator Elvira Clain-Stefanelli. The exhibition of White House china was expanded and rearranged during the year. Armed Forces History The hall of military history, installed in the area of the Arts and Industries building formerly known as the gun court, was formally opened on June 14, 1958, in the presence of the Honorable Wilber M. Brucker, Secretary of the Army, General Lyman lL. Lemnitzer, Vice Chief of Staff, United States Army, and members of their staffs. Mr. Brucker spoke of the important role of the Smithsonian Institution in encouraging patriotism through its museum interpretation of the Army’s long and distinguished history. Following the ceremony, Mr. Brucker was honored by a retreat review by the 1st Battle Group, 3d Infantry Regiment, on the Mall. Through the display of firearms, uniforms, edge weapons, and other specimens of military equipment from the collections of the Division of Military History, the new hall traces the history and development <<>> Uniform worn by Gen.

Among the unique objects on display are George Washington’s sword, carried in battle throughout the Revolution, and the uniform he wore when he resigned his commission in 1783, De Kalb’s war saddle, an original Von Steuben drill manual, Rochambeau’s sword, and the uniform coat worn by General Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans. Six dioramas prepared by the U. 8S. Army Exhibit Unit depict dramatic moments in our military history. Contents of the exhibits were selected by acting curator Edgar M. Howell and assistant curator Craddock R. Goins, Jr. Exhibits were designed by John Brown and prepared by technicians of the exhibits laboratory under the general direction of Benjamin W. Lawless. The Department of the Army cooperated closely with the division of military history in this project. <<>> Von Steuben's drill regulations, Charles Lee's pistols, and De Kalb's saddle are among the relics symbolizing the period when Washington's victorious Revolutionary army was in the making. <<>> EXHIBITS Pa Navy Vanguard rocket, duplicate of the one that launched a 6-inch satellite that will orbit around the earth for the next 200 years. Winchester, Civil War mount of Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, immortalized in Read's poem "Sheridan's Ride," as he appeared when ", . . through the flush of the morning light, A steed as black as the steeds of night, Was seen to pass, as with eagle flight," on the road from Winchester town toward the raging battle of Cedar Creek, some 20 miles away. <<>> Exhibits designer Wiliam B. Eddy proceeded with the design of a chronological series of exhibits for the Museum of History and Technology, based on a script by head curator Mendel L. Peterson and Mr. Howell, portraying the history of the Armed Forces. He also began the design of a hall of ordnance, based on a script by Mr. Goins. Mr. Peterson prepared a detailed script of exhibit units for a hall of underwater exploration. Plans for the construction of ship models needed to complete the exhibits of naval history were formulated with the assistance of curator of transportation Howard I. Chapelle and exhibits worker Wilham E. Geoghegan. <<>> Accessions During the Fiscal Year 1958 Accessions during the past year added 6,494,554 specimens to the national collections. These materials were distributed among the eight departments as follows: Anthropology, 4,373; zoology, 525,458; botany, 57,795; geology, 43,275; science and technology, 3,457; arts and manufacturers, 230; civil history, 5,858,683; and armed forces history, 1,283. This total includes 371,155 insects and 5,855,365 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 donors is to be found on page 95. Anthropology A set of casts of the restorable parts of a Neanderthal skeleton from northern Iraq, the first to reach this country, were donated by the Directorate General of Antiquities, Iraq. The skeleton casts of this newly discovered fossil man represent the work of Dr. Ralph S. Solecki, recently appointed associate curator in the division of archeology, who made the discovery in his excavation of Shanidar Cave in northern Iraq, and curator of physical anthropology T. Dale Stewart, who went to Baghdad, restored the original skull and long bones, and made plaster replicas. A special selection of objects from Palau in the Caroline Islands received through Dr. Delmas Nucker, High Commissioner, Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, included a model abai or men’s house, wooden bowls, tortoise-shell money, and native implements. From the Aaron and Lillie Straus Foundation, Inc., of Baltimore, the ethnological collections were enriched by 148 objects consisting of glass snuff bottles, carved minerals, and ivory netsukes from China and Japan. As a gift from Mrs. Elizabeth George, Tossa de Mar in Gerona, Spain, came a collection from Ethiopia of six large contemporary oil paintings depicting scenes of battle and of daily life, an Abyssinian manuscript Bible, silver buttons, and other objects illustrating Ethiopian craftsmanship in embossing, etching, and silver wire filigree. 479802—58——3 29 <<>> Of outstanding interest among the year’s accessions in archeology were two prehistoric specimens from Peru: One, a wooden doll dressed in native textiles, from the Central Coast, and the other, a gold mummy mask of the Chimu period (ca. A. D. 1100,) presented by Mrs. Virginia Morris Pollak. A large series of pottery, stone, bone, and other artifacts from the Black Widow site, and a smaller series from the Buffalo Pasture site in Stanley County, S. Dak., represent the results of River Basin Surveys excavations at two sites which will be destroyed by the lake created by the Oahe Dam a few miles north of Pierre. These two collections throw important light on the native village Indian culture of the Upper Missouri in the 16th and 17th centuries. Mention should also be made of a large, well-documented collection from 23 States and the District of Columbia presented by Richard Gates Slattery. Loology The most important collection of mammals received during the year comes from Panama, where associate curator C. O. Handley, Jr., collected over 1,300 specimens in cooperation with the Gorgas Memorial laboratory. An African elephant of record size presented by Joseph J. Fénykévi of Madrid, Spain, is the most outstanding individual specimen received in many years. Valuable cetaceans were received from three different sources: an embalmed pigmy sperm whale (Kogia) from the Marine Institute of the University of Georgia, the skull of an Alaskan beaked whale (Ziphius) from Dr. Robert Rausch, and the complete skeleton of another kind of beaked whale (Mesoplodon) from Florida salvaged by museum aide John L. Paradiso. Among birds received during the year were 193 specimens from Ghana, collected and presented by D. W. Lamm, the first sizeable collection from that part of western Africa; 200 skeletons of Rhodesian birds, from the Smithsonian Institution through Dr. Wetmore; and 358 birds from Yukon Territory, by transfer from the Arctic Health Research Center through Dr. L.

J. Schwartz; another lot of 3,398 fishes, mostly seahorses, was received from Dr. Kirk Strawn; and 1,185 Australian fishes, including numerous species not previously represented in the Museum’s Australian collections, were received in exchange from Prof. L. R. Rivas of the University of Miami. The New York Zoological Society, through Dr. William Beebe, presented 73 holotypes and 62 paratypes of tropical fishes. Insect material constitutes the bulk of the year’s accessions. The largest single lot is the famous Carl J. Drake collection of Hemiptera, a world-wide collection comprising over 100,000 specimens and containing more than 1,000 types. The valuable and important Tippmann collection, comprising 97,830 specimens of wood-boring beetles, Cerambycidae, obtained with assistance of a grant from the National Science Foundation, contains 611 holotypes and 1,415 paratypes and cotypes, and is a useful supplement to the specimens already in the collections, since it is largely from regions not heretofore represented. Other important accessions of insects are the John L. Buys collection of 12,128 leaf-hoppers, Homoptera, presented by Mrs. Buys, and the David Dunavan collection of 4,386 North American beetles, presented by Mrs. Dunavan. The Raymond C. Osburn collection of 3,572 bryozoans, including 145 type lots, together with extensive manuscript notes and microfilm of Dr. Osburn’s library catalog and bibliography was presented by Mrs. Osburn to the division of marine invertebrates. This accession is an important enrichment of the Museum’s facilities in this area of research. Other notable accessions include 4,956 miscellaneous invertebrates from the Palau Islands received from the George Vanderbilt Foundation and the Office of Naval Research, through Dr. F. M. Bayer; 10,991 specimens from waters off Surinam, transferred from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service; 2,850 crustaceans, largely copepods, chiefly from Africa, containing 2 holotypes and 388 paratypes, presented by Dr. A. G. Humes; 685 crustaceans, including the holotype and 16 paratypes of one species, given by Dr. James HE. Lynch, University of Washington; 2,341 polychaete worms and crustaceans from Lake Pontchartrain, La., a gift from Dr. Rezneat M. Darnell, Marquette University.

Other notable accessions are 1,600 marine mollusks from the Palau Islands received from the George Vanderbilt Foundation and the Office of Naval Research through Dr. F. M. Bayer; 3,550 marine shells collected by Cadet Hand on Kapingamarangi Atoll, Caroline Islands, under the auspices of the Pacific Science <<>> Board; and 2,034 specimens from the Samoan Islands, Palaus, and New Guinea, received from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. The Fish and Wildlife Service transferred to the Museum 113 specimens of cephalopods from the Gulf of Mexico through Harvey R. Bullis, Jr., and 311 specimens of land and freshwater mollusks of South America were received in exchange from the Chicago Museum of Natural History. Botany The largest gift to the department of botany consists of 10,847 specimens of lichens, constituting the personal herbarium of Dr. Mason H. Hale, Jr., associate curator of cryptogams; most of the material is from the eastern and southern United States. Another notable gift, received from Dr. José Cuatrecasas, resident investigator of the department, comprised 1,165 specimens of his own collections from Colombia, mostly a comprehensive collection of the hepaticae (liverworts). These are under study by Prof. Margaret Fulford, a principal specialist on the hepaticae. Other gifts include 162 specimens from William O. Douglas, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, representing his personal collection of Himalayan plants; and 1,735 specimens of plants of the Philippine Islands collected by Dr. José Vera Santos and presented by the University of the Philippines. To be mentioned especially are the 117 samples of diatoms from the Antarctic collected by the British-Australian-New Zealand Antarctic Expedition and presented by the University of Adelaide in Australia. Dr. Lyman B. Smith, curator of phanerogams, collected 15,133 specimens in southern Brazil. Other botanists and institutions in Brazil have been collaborating with Dr. Smith in his study of the Brazilian flora and have contributed specimens as follows: 422 specimens from Father Raulino Reitz, 378 from the Instituto Agronémico do Norte, Belém, 163 from Dr. Amaro Macedo, and 90 from Sr. G. Hatschbach. Dr. Egbert H. Walker, associate curator of phanerogams, obtained 291 plant specimens on his field trip to Okinawa in connection with his current studies of the flora of the Ryukyu Islands. In helpful assistance to Dr. Walker’s work, Kagoshima University, Kyushu, Japan, sent in exchange 578 specimens collected by Prof. S. Hatusima, and Dr. J. T. Conover, University of Texas, presented his personal collection of ferns of Okinawa, numbering 668 specimens.

Cramer; 2 type specimens of crabs from the Cretaceous of North Dakota, given by Dr. F. D. Holland, Jr.; 2,000 Pliocene mollusks from St. Petersburg, Fla., from Charles Locklin; and the type specimen of an enormous spiriferoid brachiopod, Dimegelasma, from the Mississippian of Nevada from Dr. Joseph Lintz, Jr. From the Walcott bequest were purchased from Mrs. Raymond R. Hibbard 300 specimens of rhomboporoid Bryozoa from the Middle Devonian Hamilton group of New York State, and from Guiseppe Bonafede 38 specimens of Pliocene brachiopods from Sicily. The collection of Harrell L. Strimple, Bartlesville, Okla., purchased under the Springer fund, yielded about 21,000 specimens and represents more than 20 years of collecting by Mr. Strimple, who made a specialty of Upper Paleozoic crinoids. Notable among the exchanges are 306 Paleozoic and Mesozoic invertebrate fossils, from the University of Bristol, through Dr. W. F. Whittard. The significant accession for the year in the division of vertebrate paleontology came as a result of a grant from the Walcott fund which enabled curator C. L. Gazin and exhibits specialist Franklin Pearce to collect from Middle Eocene beds of southwestern Wyoming 330 specimens including the skull and jaws of the primate Notharctus tenebrosus, skeletons of the 4-toed horse Orohippus, the primitive tapir Helaletes, skulls of assorted rodents, and the large titanothere Palaeosyops. Similarly obtained by means of the Walcott fund were portions of four tritylodont (mammal-like reptile) skeletons and a protosuchian crocodile collected by Dr. G. E. Lewis of the U. S. Geological Survey and associate curator David H. Dunkle, from Triassic rocks in the Navajo reservation, Ariz. An exchange with the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, brought six genera of ray-finned fishes, new to the collection, from the Triassic of Madagascar and casts of important types in the French museum. An important skull of Eryops from the Permian (Dunkard <<>> formation) of southwestern Pennsylvania was donated by William EK. Moran. Science and Technology Among the specimens acquired to fill the gaps in collection of scientific instruments are a set of apparatus for demonstrating the mechanical powers, presented by Middlebury College, a fine vacuum pump from Bowdoin College, an 18th-century chemical furnace from Williams College, the famous set of tuning forks from the United States Military Academy, and a fine Oertling assay balance from Wheaton College. The horological collections received two notable clocks, an elaborate astronomical clock of 1764 made in South Tyrol, and a 17th century Dutch pendulum clock built by Johannes Tegelbergh of The Hague, presented by Mr. and Mrs. Dillard B. Lasseter. The machinery collections obtained, from the Worthington Corporation, Henry R. Worthington’s first double-acting, direct-acting steam pump, built in 1844. A fine highly-finished quadruple-expansion marine steam engine, built in 1906 by the Dodge Brothers, was received from the University of Michigan. The Boeing Airplane Company sectioned for display purposes a small gas turbine transferred to the Museum by the Department of the Navy. In the division of electricity most of the accessions are in the field of electronics. Of particular interest are the experimental electron tubes of Drs. Langmuir and Hull donated by the General Electric Research Laboratory. Union College gave examples of early electronic equipment. Bowdoin College sent the core of an electromagnet made by Joseph Henry, while Williams College presented a very early cathode ray tube. Major J. Vanderhoef (U. S. M. C., ret.) contributed an unusual example of a Vibroflex key and a number of Japanese electron tubes. Through the Hazeltine Research Corporation, Dr. Alan Hazeltine donated the original experimental model of the neutrodyne circuit. Outstanding among the transportation accessions are rare builder’s half-models, including an Eastern Shore of Maryland fishing launch, dated about 1913, donated by James B. Richardson, and the model of a motor garvey from southern New Jersey, donated by the builder, W.R. Main. Other specimens of note are a working scale model of an Italian coal-fired locomotive with tender, flat car, extra assemblies, and spare parts, donated by Richard D. Boutros, and the Bayly gig, which has been on loan by the heirs of the Bayly and Orem families for a number of years. An unusual specimen donated by Earl J. Waybright is a Mehring foot-power milking machine, an inexpensive device, sold from the 1890’s <<>> ACCESSIONS th to the 1920’s, intended to lighten and speed up the task of milking for the man witha small herd. >> earliest daguerreotype photographers, Henry Fitz, Jr., was received as a gift from Mrs. Willard H. Howell. A camera of the pioneer Western photographer James Fennemore was presented by Senator Barry M. Goldwater of Arizona. Civil History A most significant acquisition is the collection of Lincoln memorabilia presented by his great-grandson, Lincoln Isham. Mary Todd Lincoln’s silver tea and coffee service, President Lincoln’s watch, his silver cutlery, and a presentation revolver are some of the items in the collection. Additional important pieces of White House china were received. A salad plate and three oyster plates from the state service used during the administration of President Rutherford B. Hayes were given by Col. Theodore Barnes, and a dinner plate from the state service of President Benjamin Harrison was presented by Mrs. Samuel Schwartz. The First Ladies collection is enhanced by the loan of the inaugural dress of Dolley Madison from the William Reckhill Nelson Gallery of Art, Kansas City. The furnishings and fittings of the Stohlman Confectionery Shop, originally installed in Georgetown, D. C., in 1900, was acquired with its ice cream parlor, its ornate cabinetwork, candy jars, fancy ice cream molds, and countless other minutiae that will serve to document a picturesque phase of late Victorian urban life. A complete set of original furnishings from a 19th century parlor in a Thomaston, Me., house was donated by the Misses Helen R. and Elizabeth W. Newcombe. The carpet, mirror, sofas, and side chairs will make it possible to reproduce authentically the parlor of a rural Victorian gentleman. The collections of philately and postal history received an exceptionally large accession through the transfer of 5,801,500 United States obsolete revenue stamps from the Internal Revenue Service. Former Postmaster General James A. Farley converted a loan of 8,835 specimens to a gift. A rarity, the United States 24-cent airmail stamp with inverted center, was donated by the Raymond H. Weill Company. Sidney N. Shure of Chicago presented the first issue of Israel complete in sheets.

Outstanding among the numismatic accessions received are 22 die proofs of vignettes used for Canadian currency, donated by the British American Bank Note Company, Ottawa; 664 Chinese cash <<>> pieces transferred by the Library of Congress; a Continental 60-dollar note, issued September 1778, donated by Consul J. Warner; and 4 Byzantine gold solidi and 2 modern Greek gold coins, given by M. Tambakis. Senator Harry F. Byrd donated three $1,000 bonds and five $500 bonds issued by the Confederate States of America in 1861 and 1863. A rare copper plate made by Charles Toppan & Co. and used about 1835 by the New Haven County Bank for the printing of 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollar notes was presented by the New Haven Bank, Conn., through Comptroller W. R. Hasse, Jr. Showing his continued interest in the growth of the national coin collections, Paul A. Straub donated a group of rare Holy Roman Empire gold coins struck in Hungary and Carinthia, and an unusual Prussian taler struck in 1719 in the name of Frederick Wilhelm I. Armed Forces History Among the notable items of military history accessioned are a rare Committee of Safety rampart rifle made at the Rappahannock Forge and a model 1869 pistol with Allin conversion, one of three known specimens, from the Department of the Army, and the famous Frankfort Arsenal cartridge collection, through Colonel Berkeley R. Lewis. Of much importance is a collection of naval ordnance materiel which were recovered from the wreck of an unidentified ship which sank on the reefs of Bermuda about 1595. This rare material of the sixteenth century included expanding bar shot of lead and wrought iron; spiked shot carrying tow soaked with tar which, when lighted by the explosion of the charge in the gun, formed an incendiary shot; solid iron shot of various sizes; musket balls, and the breechblock of an iron swivel gun. A built-up model of a warship of the late 17th century was received as a loan from Edwin A. Link, President of the General Precision Equipment Corporation. It is believed that the model itself dates to that period, and it forms a rare and desirable addition to the exhibition series. Received from the Department of the Navy, also as a loan, through the Naval Historical Foundation was a fife rail which stood by the foremast of the sloop-of-war Hartford, flagship of Admiral Farragut during the actions at Mobile Bay and on the Mississippi River in the Civil War. <<>> Care of Collections TransGifts to ferredto Lent for educaother study to Exchanged tionalinGoverninvestigators Accessioned Received with other stitutions, ment and inIdentified Departments 1958 (new) onloan institutions ete. agencies stitutions on request Anthropology.. 4, 373 5 3805 2, 203 36 8, 199 5, 714 Botanyeniy eee 57, 795 0 6,791 3,106 54 24,794 12,269 Geology seo. 43, 275 3 1, 234 584 605 4,721 18,478 Zoology.) |) | , 525,458 1,890 7, 617 2,761 — 62. 65, 887 “146, 770 Armed Forces NISLORYAe ore 1, 283 9 18 0 0 21 503 Arts and Manu- factures..... 230 350 0 0 0 12 2, 847 Civil History... 5, 858, 683 18, 707 2 0 0 2,975 78,619 Science and Technology... 3, 457 65 12 3 1 159 Uptake Toran... 6,494,554 21,029 15,979 8,657 758 106,768 261,317 Anthropology Chief exhibits specialist A. Joseph Andrews completed and installed in the newly opened Indian hall a diorama illustrating a Blackfoot Indian buffalo drive. He also made and painted four plaster casts of the Tepexpan skull from Mexico, and a waste mold for making a plaster cast of the inside of the now famous Neanderthal skull from Shanidar Cave in northern Iraq. At the request of and through the cooperation of the Korean Embassy, he prepared two life-size manikins representing a bride and groom for a very colorful Korean exhibit. Hundreds of iron objects excavated from colonial sites in Virginia and Maryland were chemically treated in the laboratory, and numerous archeological objects were cast and painted for scientific investigations, and prehistoric specimens repaired and restored. As time permitted, Mr. Andrews repaired several pieces of sculpture for the National Collection of Fine Arts, and supplied information concerning or gave instructions in the techniques of wax figure casting, diorama construction, gold Jeaf and gilding, mending porcelain, and repairing marble statuary. <<>> The care and systematic classification of the ethnological collections continued to be the responsibility of assistant curator Robert A. Elder, Jr., who has completed many records lacking important factual detail. This is a step toward the necessary inventory of collections, and the bringing into harmony of records and specimens. Cataloging, numbering, and storing of the large Catholic University of America collection has been completed, as well as similar work on all recent accessions. During the year the functions of the sections of ceramics, musical instruments, and period art and textiles were fully or in part transferred to appropriate divisions in the new Museum of History and Technology, and all specimens under these headings except 1,758 musical instruments are in the process of being transferred. A number of specimens hitherto listed under ethnology have also been transferred to their respective new divisions. Most of these transfers have been made to the divisions of cultural history, textiles, ceramics and glass, and political history. The actual physical segregation of these objects has only begun, and much remains to be done before the transfer of records and files will be completed. Of the 450 original paintings by George Catlin in the division of ethnology, 141 have now been cleaned and, of these, 57 have been reframed. Presently four paintings are being cleaned and restored under contract with a well-known specialist in this field. Every effort is being made to complete this herculean task of preserving the remainder of these 305 irreplaceable pictures of our American Indians made in the 1830’s. Acting curator Saul H. Riesenberg has instituted some revisions of the official divisional records; the photographic files of ethnological objects are being arranged by tribe and area, and the photographs compared with catalog cards and with specimens wherever data is lacking. The catalog cards are to have negative numbers entered on them, and indices to the photographs are to be prepared by subject and negative number. When this is completed it will be possible to fill the hundreds of requests for photographs of ethnological specimens quickly and efficiently. The library in the division of ethnology has been rearranged and the library cards brought up to date. The divisional specimen catalog file is being brought into better working order by cross-checking with the donor and accession files and supplying missing information. A new tribal-locality file has been installed which shows all specimens attributed to any tribe or cultural group by object, name, and number. This type of information, hitherto lacking, will facilitate both research and the handling of the constantly increasing number of inquiries. <<>> In the division of physical anthropology, museum aide Lucile E. Hoyme, assisted by a summer intern, Elliot Liebow, worked on the skeletal collections from Arizona and New Mexico, of which the Hemenway collection, received from the Army Medical Museum many years ago, had in the course of time become disarranged. They carried nearly to completion the reassembly of the bones by their original catalog numbers so that a better evaluation could be made of the original skeletal units. Mr. Liebow also reviewed a number of accession records pertaining to these collections and prepared historical summaries that make them more meaningful. Museum aide Charles EK. Eyman and associate curator Marshall T. Newman completed a review and reorganization of the Florida skeletal material, started last year. At the end of the fiscal year Mr. Eyman had completely checked the Peruvian collection and extended the finding system to this part of the study series. All unprocessed archeological collections carried over from last fiscal year have been marked and incorporated into the study collections, progress has been made in the final marking of accessions for the current year, and the work of reorganizing and consolidating the study collections has gone forward. Museum aide George S. Metcalf has devoted much time to the identification of specimens incorrectly marked in past years, or on which the catalog numbers have become partially or wholly illegible. A substantial beginning has also been made on reorganizing and improving the Old World study collections; those representing Palestine are now in good shape, and the materials from Jordan are currently under review. The important task of cleaning and preserving the textile collections from Peru and other areas has continued throughout the year. Storage facilities in the division of archeology have been materially improved with delivery of approximately 150 quarter-unit storage cases. Most of these have been filled with material previously in exhibit cases in hall 21, and an additional 200 quarter units will be needed to accommodate the objects in hall 22, both of which are scheduled for modernization. For four months museum aides Robert C. Jenkins and Mrs. W. M. Pelham sorted, washed, and numbered the two and one-half tons of potsherds and other objects brought back by Drs. Evans and Meggers from their 1957 archeological fieldwork on the headwaters of the Orinoco, Venezuela, and the Rio Napo, Keuador. Associate curator Ralph S. Solecki completed a survey of the Old World archeology collections, and at the close of the year was processing and rearranging them. The records and library of Old World archeology have been rearranged to make them more accessible. Arrangements have been made with the Peabody Museum, Harvard <<>> University, Cambridge, Mass., whereby scholars at that institution will study a large collection of pottery material excavated for the Smithsonian Institution in 1948 by Drs. M. W. Stirling and Gordon R. Willey. This material, classified into types, will be returned to the national collections. The division of archeology is continuing its efforts to find scholars to classify and study collections from the Latin American researches of previous staff members of the Bureau of American Ethnology, that have been turned over to the U.S. National Museum. Zoology The physical condition of the zoological collections has been improved during the year. In the division of mammals, the entire collection of skulls and skeletons of small cetaceans was rearranged in a single series; a complete survey and listing of the collection of preserved brains was finished; the type specimens of the Museum and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service collections were merged and partly rearranged, and the section devoted to the types of primates, edentates, and lagomorphs was placed in its permanent arrangement. In the bird collections, the work of critica! reidentification of North American species and subspecies and their subsequent rearrangement for readier use and reference was pushed forward by Museum aide Bernard R. Feinstein. A check of the alcoholic specimens of frogs was completed during the year. The need for extra storage space in the division of fishes was somewhat eased by the construction of a temporary storage room, 22 x 50 feet, in the basement of the Bird House at the National Zoological Park. Also in that Park, a laboratory was constructed on the second floor of the Reptile House, where space will be available for ichthyologists. Great strides were made in the care of the entomological collections, although the backlog of unprocessed material increased during the year because the accessions amounted to more than could be incorporated properly. An additional 66,145 specimens of the Drake collection were incorporated, 8,074 newly acquired specimens were added to it, while from the Shoemaker collection 18,564 specimens were placed in the regular series; 43,841 weevils were arranged in trays and drawers, and nearly 4,000 additional specimens were added to the collection. During the course of his studies on the Cerambycidae, Dr. Frederico Lane transferred 6,556 specimens from the Tippmann collection into the regular series. Nine genera of click beetles (Elateridae) were rearranged by Merton C. Lane, about 5,000 Lygaeidae (Hemiptera) from the H. G. Barber collection were transferred from boxes to the permanent series, and the entire collection of Collembola and Thysanura was examined and reconditioned. About 2,400 <<>> specimens of the Bromley collection were reincorporated; the alcoholic collections of scarabeid and carabid larvae were relabeled, cataloged and rearranged; and about 2,500 specimens of neuropteroids and Odonata were similarly treated. The collection of bag worms (Psychidae) was overhauled completely and is now contained in 65 drawers, neatly arranged and properly labeled. The reconditioning and rearranging of the Arachnida-Myriapoda section has advanced rapidly and all the primary types have now been segregated. During the year, 65,000 cards have been added to the card catalogs of the various groups. In the division of marine invertebrates N. L. Livingston has made encouraging progress in the time-consuming task of examining, cleaning, and refilling the alcoholic-specimen jars. Many defective jars had to be replaced with better ones during the course of this work. Botany The task of shifting and expanding the general phanerogamic collections was finished early in the year, and this allowed the insertion of a large number of specimens that had accumulated. The case room is now adequate for several years. The major curatorial task of the year in the division of phanerogams was the sorting and labeling of the O. F. Cook collection of palms, a task undertaken by associate curator Velva Rudd; this material, which includes a number of types, was turned over by the Department of Agriculture. Associate curator Egbert H. Walker continued to attend to the Old World collections and associate curator Emery C. Leonard the West Indian ones. Associate curator Richard Cowan worked on the South American collections, and gave especial attention to the Leguminosae. The provision of 20 additional storage cases for the division of ferns has permitted the first general expansion of the collections in many years. During this expansion, now under way, the collections will be rearranged according to the system of Carl Christensen instead of the system, now obsolete, devised long ago by L. M. Underwood; the collections can then be more readily consulted by fern students. The collection of myxomycetes, numbering 3,120 specimens (plus duplicates), was transferred to the national fungus collections at Beltsville, Md., on a semipermanent loan, thus uniting all the fungus collections of the National Museum under the custody of Dr. John A. Stevenson, honorary curator of fungi. Tentative plans have been made to unite all the fungus collections within the National Herbarium when sufficient space is available. The addition of two new staff members, associate curator Mason E. Hale, Jr., and herbarium aide Robert Ireland, has made it possible for <<>> the division of cryptogams to reduce the backlog of curatorial work that had accumulated. The lichen collections have been expanded and rearranged alphabetically, replacing the arrangement according to the outmoded Zahlbruckner system, and the collections of bryophytes and algae were also expanded. A large number of miscellaneous cryptogams was sorted and filed away. The diatom collection remains in the custody of associate curator Paul S. Conger, and the work of transferring the crude samples to new containers is progressing as time permits. The major activities in caring for the permanent collections and the processing of new material are summarized in the following table: 1956-57 1957-58 Specimens and photographs mounted. ....... 35, 500 33, 063 Specimensirepaireds iy Hig. epee oa. ee 3,443 10, 751 Specimens stamped and recorded ......... 30,312 24,112 Specimens incorporated in herbarium ....... 20,383 59,191 There are now 57,120 types in the segregated type herbarium. They are, by groups: 39,404 phanerogams, 10,031 grasses, 3,372 ferns, and 4,313 cryptogams; this represents an increase of 1,558 type specimens during the year. Geology The collections of mineralogy and petrology are well arranged and in good condition. Constant moving of the collections of invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany to add new specimens in the overcrowded space that is now available has made it necessary to take stock of the collection and record the present Jocation of specimens. This task has fallen to museum aide Henry B. Roberts, who has prepared finding cards for all the stratigraphic and reserve collections in the south attic. Part of the material in the south hall on the third floor, where some reserve collections are stored, poses the same problem; this, too, has been listed and cards are to be prepared. These card files will obviate the necessity for any further extensive moving. It is planned to alphabetize the Paleozoic snail collection, a move that will make it possible for more people to use the collection, and also to alphabetize the post-Cambrian trilobite collection. The Burgess shale and graptolite collections are being expanded to permit erowth and to protect the specimens from undue crowding. Museum aide James L. Connors has cataloged the Paleozoic coral collection and has numbered all the identified material init. It is the only biological collection at present completely cataloged. In addition to this valuable work, he expanded the entire coral collection 479802—58——4 <<>> to make room for further accessions, better organized the species in the collection, and made a careful invoice of our type specimens. None of the types listed in our 1905 catalog are missing. Mr. Connors is now checking the types received after 1905, but this is more difficult because no listing of them has ever been made. This type check is preliminary to the preparation of a list of types acquired since 1905. During the first quarter of fiscal 1958, Robert Finks of Brooklyn College, New York, working under the summer intern program, reorganized the fossil sponge collection. The result is a completely modernized and well-arranged collection. Karl Krucoff, another summer intern, rearranged the entire ostracod collection, organized all the types, placing them in new containers and arranging them alphabetically. This collection, an important one because of the large number of types it contains, is now in excellent order and the types are readily available. During the fall and winter season head curator G. A. Cooper prepared all of the nonsilicified specimens from the Glass Mountains. This formidable amount of material occupied about 100 drawers. The large lumps were broken down and the specimens were extracted and distributed into the Permian collection. The Glass Mountains Permian material now occupies 36 standard quarter unit cases, about 350 drawers of selected specimens. Associate curator Porter M. Kier, in charge of echinoderm collections, reports that he labeled and cataloged all the numerous Strimple types, obtained some years ago, and arranged them with the rest of the crinoid and other echinoderm types. He also unpacked, sorted, and arranged the large Strimple collection obtained during the second quarter of the fiscal year, and likewise a collection of Cuban echinoids received from the Cuba California Oil Company. Associate curator Richard S. Boardman organized in alphabetical arrangement all the type slides of the bryozoans into new flat-file (Lab-aid) cabinets. The non-type slides were similarly arranged in a separate bank of flat-file cases. His own field collections were arranged according to a numbering series. A significant part of the European and Canadian materials collected last year by associate curator David H. Dunkle has been prepared because of its pertinence to the exhibition program, but pressure on the laboratory staff of the division of vertebrate paleontology by the current exhibition program has left little time available for preparation of study materials or for care of the collections in general. As a result, there is a rapidly mounting backlog of material awaiting preparation. <<>> CARE OF COLLECTIONS AW Science and Technology All divisions in the department of science and technology are engaged in the repair of specimens received in damaged condition, and the renovation of specimens for exhibition in the Museum of History and Technology. ‘The staff has renovated the Borden vacuum pan, Olds gasoline engine, Howard tower clock, Fitz lens grinding machinery, Langley optical bench, to mention some notable items. Also renovated were a large Ruhmkorff galvanometer, Cruickshank battery, Priestley orrery, Ramsden dividing engine, Vigo fire engine, and several ship models. The status of the specimen documentation was considerably improved through the assistance of summer interns in the sections of agriculture and pharmaceutical history and health, and through the addition to the staff of John M. Wingo and Horace W. Harris as museum aides in the sections of agriculture and physics, respectively. The establishment of a geographical card file that provides information as to the Museum’s holdings with respect to any given region has been completed in the section of agriculture. In the section of pharmaceutical history and health the materia medica collection has been rehoused in modern storage units. The specification of ship models for construction and repair has been undertaken on a considerable scale in the section of marine transportation, thanks to the work of Earle Geoghegan of the exhibits department. The departmental library has been partially rearranged in an improved working condition through the assistance of Lettie Bevis of the Smithsonian Library. This work is continuing. Arts and Manufacture A vigorous and systematic program of inspection of specimens in the division of textiles for damage, overcrowding, and other undesirable conditions became possible with the appointment of Mrs. Marjorie L. Sampson as museum aide. Under the direction of acting curator Grace L. Rogers, experiments in methods of storing small specimens have been performed. Many of the important machines in the textile collection are being renovated for the new textile hall, among them the Slater spinning frame, which is being cleaned and renovated by Donald Holst; the Scholfield wool carding machine, by Charles McKeon; the Slater carding machine, by Don Berkebile; and two old hand looms, by Robert Klinger and Robert Sampson. Several spinning wheels, textile models and sewing machines have also been restored. <<>> The following articles of ceramics and glass were renovated and repaired: Gilt bronze banquet plateau, ca. 1810, made by Thomire, artisan to Napoleon I Two large Russian vases, ca. 1835, made by the Imperial factory in St. Petersburg for Tsar Nicholas I One French metal-frame cabinet with Sevres porcelain and glass panels, ca. 1826 Two 18th-century French Ormolu vitrines (circular) One 18th-century French Ormolu cabinet Two malachite vases and pedestals ornamented with gilt bronze, Italian, believed to have belonged to Prince Demidoff and Princess Mathilde Bonaparte Two 19th-century French bronze candelabra One porcelain vase with gilt bronze mountings Renovation of exhibits of graphic arts in the connecting range required the dismantling of the previous exhibit of hand processes and the removal of over 1,000 specimens from 20 flat-top cases and 36 vertical cases. The opportunity was taken to review much of the print collection as a whole. Most of this work was accomplished by the summer intern, John Minton, who also removed approximately half the study collections to storage in anticipation of renovation and air-conditioning to be done in this area. In photography the Gatewood W. Dunston collection of 864 specimens was cleaned, cataloged, and transferred to storage. The appointment on May 26, 1958, of Rudolph Morris as museum aide in the section of photography, will permit the commencement of a full program of checking and renovation of specimens. Receipt of a large number of solander cases makes it possible to complete the transfer of the photographic print collection to more suitable storage units. The collections of specimens in the division of industrial cooperation, formerly held by the section of manufactures and mineral technology, are being reviewed, and an up-to-date inventory of them established. Civil History The grouping of coins, medals, tokens, and paper currencies by accessions, a method formerly used in the division of numismatics, has been abandoned and arrangement of all specimens by subject has been started. More than 20,000 specimens have been regrouped by subjects; about 7,500 coins were identified, enveloped, and tabeled according to standard scientific reference books. The collection of paper money of the Confederate States of America was arranged by issues and denominations, each bill being placed <<>> separately in a transparent envelope. A similar system was adopted for state bank notes, which were grouped by states, banks, denominations, and types. Many specimens removed years ago from various displays have unfortunately been found to be without identification as to accession and catalog numbers or even subject classification. This has made rearrangement of the collections a time consuming project. The coin envelopes used for the reference collections have been found not to be sulfur free. As a result, the silver coins in them are tarnished and must be cleaned and reenveloped. An electrolytic apparatus was set up for cleaning tarnished and corroded coins. The process consists of bathing a coin in free hydrogen, which combines with the corrosive agent, sulfur, to make bydrogen sulphide and tbus removes it from tarnish or encrustation. The soft residue can then be easily removed. Numerous silver coins were cleaned using either this method or chemical agents. The method, used for some years in the division of numismatics, of lacquering coins and medals by spraying them with Krylon is not fully satisfactory. Only too frequently the lacquer ‘‘builds up” around fine details and, especially to bronze medals, gives an unnatural, glossy, and unesthetic look. In addition, if aged, Krylon cannot be readily removed. Armed Forces History During the year the separation of the naval history specimens from the military history materials was completed. The naval history reference collection has been installed in a new storage area adjacent to the new office suite. As the work of separating the collections proceeded, the specimens were checked against the records and new tags were placed on the specimens; they were inspected to determine measures necessary for their further preservation and rewrapped before storing in the new units. The assignment of additional storage space at Suitland has made it possible to rearrange the uniform reference collection for better preservation and more ready accessibility. All uniforms dating prior to 1872 now are stored flat in half units, 75 percent of the uniform collection has been dry-cleaned as a further aid to preservation, and most of the collection of military headgear has been stored in separate containers. A number of valuable bunting flags have been placed on backing to eliminate strain on fibers, and silk flags have been placed in heavy frames under plate glass as a means of stabilizing fibers. Air-conditioning has been installed in the southwest storeroom, where most fabrics are stored, as an aid to preservation. <<>> Four ship models were restored by a local craftsman and arrangements have been made to restore eight others. This work involves, in most cases, the tightening of rigging, straightening of stanchions, and refinishing of defective places in the painted surfaces of the models. The usual precautions against insects, dust, and rust damage were taken on a regular schedule. <<>> Investigation and Research Anthropology Head curator Frank M. Setzler, during August, located and directed the excavation of an early colonial structure on the James Williams site near Bell Plains, east of Fredericksburg, Va. This investigation resulted in the discovery of an 18th-century courthouse on the south bank of Potomac Creek. The poorly defined and relatively shallow outlines of a foundation revealed a T-shaped structure approximately 52 feet along the crossbar of the T and 40% feet in width, similar in form and size to the well preserved 18th-century Virginia courthouses in Hanover and King William Counties. This archeological excavation was a continuation of a research program begun in 1956 at Marlborough Town near Stafford, Va., at the junction of Potomac Creek and the Potomac River. An attempt was made to determine if there was a relationship between the courthouse at the Williams site and the earlier structure at Marlborough Town. This work, in collaboration with acting curator of cultural history C. Malcolm Watkins, and Professor Oscar Darter, department of history, Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, was financed through a grant from the American Philosophical Society. Through the foresight of the Columbia-Southern Chemical Corporation, a subsidiary of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, the Smithsonian Institution was offered an opportunity to preserve the record of a prehistoric Indian mound 110 feet in diameter and 20 feet in height, along the Ohio River in West Virginia. Future plans for plant expansion necessitated leveling the area, and Mr. C. EK. Wolf, manager of the plant, indicated his willingness to supply labor, equipment, laboratory facilities, and an engineer if the Institution would furnish the archeologist. Frank M. Setzler spent the period from October 7 to November 22 at the site near New Martinsville, W. Va., directing the excavation. Every possible means of cooperation was supplied by the Columbia-Southern Chemical Corporation. A remarkable specimen recovered from the Welcome Mound was a carved effigy tubular pipe. The customary pipe of the prehistoric builders of these mounds was a Straight tube. At the knee of one of the warriors interred near the top of the mound was a beautifully carved pipe representing the <<>> head and neck of the shoveler duck Spatula clypeata (Linnaeus). Bearing a series of fine incised lines on the underside of the bill clearly representing the lamellae so characteristic of this species, the effigy is carved from Ohio limestone, a relatively soft material easy to carve when freshly dug from the ground. Also found were the bodies of three adults that had been placed on and covered with various layers of bark. A large canine tooth of the cougar, or mountain lion, was found in the mouth cavity of an elderly male lying on the base of the mound. ‘This could indicate a shaman or tribal leader costume such as an animal mask. Such evidence has been found in some of the Adena mounds in Ohio and Kentucky. Archeology.—Curator Waldo R. Wedel and museum aide George Metcalf, detailed to the River Basin Surveys during the summer, excavated two village sites in Stanley County, South Dakota, some five to six miles below the junction of Cheyenne River and the Missouri. One site yielded remains of two occupations—one prehistoric, with large deep rectangular pithouses, the other postcontact, with circular earth lodges and evidences of contacts with white traders. At the second site, circular houses within a palisaded area and further evidences of White contact were found. The cultural materials associated with the several occupations represented at these two sites are quite distinctive and will contribute important information on the culture of the 17th and 18th century Arikara Indians and their predecessors along this section of the Missouri River. This data supplements and clarifies information gathered from other multiple-occupation sites at the mouth of the Cheyenne River. After his return from the field in September, Dr. Wedel completed the final report on his 1937-40 field investigations in Kansas. The large monograph was transmitted to the Bureau of American Ethnology for publication. In addition to the original field data, this report contains extensive discussions on several of the major known archeological complexes of the Central Plains, and on their wider relationships and cultural significance. It constitutes the largest and most comprehensive statement yet assembled on the native prehistory of Kansas. As time permitted, Dr. Wedel carried forward the preparation of his report on the archeology of the Horner Site near Cody, Wyo. This site, dated by radiocarbon at approximately 5000 B.C., was partially excavated by Princeton University during two seasons preceding the joint Princeton-Smithsonian investigations in 1952. Its importance stems from the fact that the artifact assemblage is perhaps the largest and most comprehensive series yet recovered from a site of this cultural level and prehistoric period in <<>> the Great Plains and adjacent regions. In May, Dr. Wedel was elected a member of the executive committee of the Society for American Archeology. Associate curator Clifford Evans and research associate Betty J. Meggers carried forward several research projects started in previous years, and initiated two new programs. Specimens collected from the excavations of an early Formative Period site of Coastal Ecuador were classified and described, and a monograph, “The Valdivia Culture,’”’ was completed. To date this is the earliest culture found in Ecuador and links with early Formative sites in Panama, Colombia, and Peru, in addition to showing some similarity to later Formative horizons in the Valley of Mexico. A Spanish version of the report is being printed by Emilio Estrada as a publication of the Museo Arqueologico Victor Emilio Estrada, Guayaquil, Ecuador. Classification of all the specimens from the Rio Napo, Ecuador, excavations of 1956-57 was completed in time to summarize the results in a symposium on migrations organized for the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association in December 1957. This manuscript will be published by the University of Arizona Press. Preparatory to delivering a paper at the 33rd International Congress of Americanists meeting in July 1958 at San José, Costa Rica, Drs. Evans and Meggers have classified 60,000 sherds from the stratigraphic excavations made in the headwaters of the Orinoco in 1957 in cooperation with Professor José M. Cruxent of the Museo de Ciencias Naturales, Caracas, Venezuela. Two distinct cultures have been defined, one showing certain relationships to aboriginal cultures of the Antilles and the other with Colombia. A research grant from the Creole Foundation, the first such grant made to the Smithsonian Institution, made it possible to test a large series of charcoal samples from this field work for dating by radiocarbon techniques. The carbon-14 laboratory of the University Museum, Philadelphia, Pa., is now processing the specimens. This will be the first large series of dates to come from tropical forest climates. Because of her interest in tropical forest agriculture, Dr. Betty J. Meggers was invited to participate in a seminar on plantation systems of the New World, sponsored by the Organization of American States, the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the Research and Training Program for the Study of Man in the Tropics. Sixty delegates from the United States, Latin America, and Europe attended the seminar in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from November 17-23, 1957. Dr. Evans was made a member of the committee of Latin American anthropology of the National Research Council, and continued to <<>> attend the meetings of the working group on Inter-American affairs held at the Department of State, where he represents the anthropological profession specialists in Latin America. Ralph S. Solecki joined the staff of the division of archeology as associate curator of prehistoric Old World archeology on August 26, 1957. He continued research on the Shanidar, Iraq, archeological project which he had initiated in 1951. A phase of this work was prepared as a doctoral dissertation, ‘“The Baradostian industry and the Upper Palsolithic in the Near Hast,’ which he successfully defended at Columbia University on May 19, 1958. This manuscript, which represents approximately 25 percent completion of the Shanidar project, will be presented for publication. From May 8-11, 1958, Dr. Solecki and his wife, Dr. Rose Lilien, attended an informa! symposium in Chicago on the prehistory of the Near Hast called by Dr. Robert J. Braidwood of the Oriental Institute of Chicago. He also participated in an informal session on carbon-14 dating of Pleistocene stratigraphy and archeological chronology at the geophysical laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington on May 22, 1958. Durimg the year he gave four lectures, and prepared several short papers for publication on his unique and very important discoveries at Shanidar, northern Iraq. Museum aide George Metcalf completed a manuscript, ‘Some Coiled-ware Sherds from the High Plains,” that has been accepted for publication by American Antiquity. He has continued his research and manuscript preparation of a report on a group of sites from central Nebraska, and has resumed preparation for the River Basin Surveys of the final report on Site 32M1L39, N. Dak. During August, Mr. Metcalf spent several weeks in Kansas collaborating with members of the Fort Wallace, Kans., Museum in the excavation of a stratified site nearby, where the cultural materials range from Preceramic to Late Historic periods. Research associate Neil M. Judd continued his investigation of the archeological materials collected in Chaco Canyon for the National Geographic Society. Physical anthrepolegy.—Curator T. Dale Stewart was given an opportunity to study, restore, and make plaster casts of the Neanderthal skull and postcrania! bones discovered earlier in the year by Dr. Ralph S. Solecki in the Shanidar Cave, northern Iraq. The Iraqian Government, appreciating the scientific importance of the find, invited Dr. Stewart to make the restoration in Baghdad, where the Shanidar skeleton is preserved. This research program, from October 9, 1957 to January 12, 1958, was made possible by the generosity of the Directorate General of Antiquities of Iraq, supplemented by a grant from the American Philosophical Society. While <<>> still in Irag, Dr. Stewart prepared a preliminary report describing the restored skull and submitted it for publication in Sumer. On his return from Baghdad he resumed his research on the skeletal material excavated by Dr. James A. Ford in 1932 at Point Barrow, Alaska, and completed a report ‘Skeletal Remains from the Vicinity of Barrow, Alaska,” to be published as part of an overall report by the American Museum of Natural History. Prior to Dr. Stewart’s departure for Iraq, he completed several research projects, including the description of a unique carved bone object from Delaware, and three other papers, entitled ‘‘The Effect of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution on Physical Anthropology,” ‘Stone Age Skull Surgery,” and ‘‘The Rate of Development of Osteo-arthritis in American Whites and its Significance for Age Identification.” At the close of the year Dr. Stewart was completing the analysis of and preparing a paper on a skeletal collection from Venado Beach, Panama, which he has been invited to read at the 33rd International Congress of Americanists, San José, Costa Rica, July 20-27. Associate curator Marshall T. Newman continued his research and preparation of papers resulting from field work among the Quechua Indians from Hacienda Vicos, Peru. He advanced two manuscripts on the racial anthropology and the blood group systems as parts of a monograph entitled ‘“‘Vicos: Integrated Studies of Environment and Physique in an Isolated Quechua Indian Population.” By-products of the blood-group work resulted in two papers delivered during the year at annual meetings: “‘A Trial Formulation Presenting Evidences from Physical Anthropology for Migrations from Mexico to South America,” and “Blood Group Systems in Latin American Indians.” A manuscript in collaboration with Dr. C. R. Jones, entitled “The Biology of the Wai Wai Indians of British Guiana,” was completed as part of a monograph on the ethnology of the Wai Wai by Betty J. Meggers and Clifford Evans. In collaboration with Dr. Harald Schraer, director of bio-physics laboratory of Pennsylvania State University, Dr. Newman completed a manuscript “Quantitative Roentgenographic Determination of Retarded Skeletal Mineralization in Malnourished Quechua Indian Boys,” and submitted it to Science for publication. At the close of the year Dr. Newman was working on the skinfold and tooth eruption data from Vicos. Dr. Newman continued as a member of the division of anthropology and psychology, National Research Council, and the committee on an international directory of anthropologists. He is a new member of the subcommittee on physical anthropology, National Research Council, and an associate editor of the American Journal of Physical Anthropology. Ethnology.—Curator Herbert W. Krieger continued his research on Antillean Indian cultures based on documentary sources and on <<>> collections made at village sites in the Bahamas, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and the Virgin Islands. Mr. Krieger retired on November 30, 1957, after serving 33 years in the department of anthropology. Acting curator Saul H. Riesenberg completed research on the native syllabary used in the central Caroline Islands. The study is of a natively invented script, hitherto largely unreported and not previously analyzed. The manuscript will be published in a bulletin of the Bureau of American Ethnology and contributes to the scanty literature on the process of stimulus diffusion. Dr. Riesenberg continued his analysis and writing of his field materials from Ponape and Samoa, and will have a monograph on Ponape ready for publication shortly. He made a study trip to the Peabody Museum, Salem, Mass., in connection with his long-range project on the material culture of Micronesia, and a preliminary examination, for the same purpose, of the Micronesian collections at the Chicago Museum of Natural History. Research by visiting investigators.—From February 7 until June 1, Carlos Angulo, Director of the Instituto de Investigaciones Etnologicas y Museo Arqueologico, Universidad del AtlAntico, Barranquilla, Colombia, worked with associate curator Clifford Evans and research associate Betty J. Meggers on problems of Latin American archeology. As a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation, Mr. Angulo is undertaking an intense training course in the techniques of classification and interpretation of archeological materials, and has aided Drs. Evans and Meggers in classifying their Upper Orinoco pottery. After a summer field session, Mr. Angulo will return to continue his program of study in the division of archeology. As a result of an award of a research grant from the National Science Foundation to Drs. Evans and Meggers for the study of aboriginal migration routes in northern South America, research assistant Peter Paul Hilbert, anthropologist of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia, Museu Paraense ‘Emilio Goeldi’” in Para, Brazil, has conducted research in the division of archeology from March 9 to the end of June. During this period Mr. Hilbert, in close cooperation with Drs. Evans and Meggers, analyzed and described materials he had excavated from the Middle Amazon. The results are significant because of the unusual materials used in tempering the aboriginal pottery. These included a siliceous bark of a tree called “cariapé” and sponge spicules from a tree sponge growing along the rivers called “cauinr.”” The use of these materials is so distinctive culturally that it is now possible to relate pottery in the Middle Amazon to that from the eastern side of Peru and Ecuador, as well as to that of adjoining areas, by similarities in temper. <<>> Some of the other visitors who spent shorter periods of time working with the anthropological material in the study collections of Alaskan, Greenland, and Old Copper culture materials, and conferring with staff members, included Dr. Kristjan Eldjarn, Director, National Museum of Iceland, Reykjavik. Dr. E. H. Seilards, University of Texas, studied Paleo-Indian collections from the Horner site, Cody, Wyoming, and the Shoop site, Dauphin County, Pa. Professor Oldemar Blasi, Universidad do Parand, Curitiba, Brazil, examined South American materials, especially those of Brazil, Venezuela, and Argentina. Professor Octavio Durando, Universidad de Costa Rica, San José, Costa Rica, reviewed aboriginal metallurgy of South and Central America. Dr. Stephen Borhegyi, Stovall Museum of History and Science, University of Oklahoma, was especially interested in Formative Period materials from Coastal Ecuador. Dr. Gordon R. Willey, Peabody Museum, Harvard University, examined archeological collections from Ecuador, Venezuela, and British Guiana. Dr. Robert J. and Linda Braidwood, University of Chicago Oriental Institute, worked with the archeological collections from Shanidar, Iraq. Dr. Bruce Howe, Peabody Museum, Harvard University, studied archeological collections from Shanidar, Iraq. Professor H. de Vries, Naturrkundig Laboratorium, Rijke Universiteit,Groningen, Netherlands, was concerned with palaeoclimatology and carbon-14 dating of late Pleistocene. Dr. Friedrich Brandtner (formerly of Vienna), Department of Geology, Yale University, was interested in the late Pleistocene stratigraphy and archeology of Europe and the Near East as well as carbon-14 dating. Mr. Ram Singh, the Georgetown Museum, British Guiana, sought advice on exhibit and storage techniques in anthropology and zoology. Sr. Luiz Castro Faria, Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, studied Brazilian collections and discussed future archeological research projects. Dr. Chew On Kim, Director, Korean National Museum, examined Korean dolls. Professor Leslie White, University of Michigan, investigated Sia Pueblo specimens. Mr. Gregorio F. Zaide, cultural envoy from the Philippines, obtained organizational information with a view to setting up a Philippine National Museum. U Ba Shin, member of the Burma Historical Commission, Rangoon, reviewed the Burmese collections. Mr. J. D. Pearson, Institute of Oriental and African studies, London, was making an inventory of Oriental manuscripts. Prince M. C. Subhadradis Diskul, National Museum, Bangkok, examined the Thai exhibits. Professor Emil Haury, University of Arizona, studied Apache pottery. Dr. Chen Chi-Lu, Taiwan University, reviewed the Formosan collections. Dr. Melvin L. Moss, of the Department of Anatomy, College of Physicians and Surgeons, <<>> Columbia University, x-rayed deformed skulls in the collections to obtain evidence of altered skull growth resulting from artificial deformation. Dr. Ellis Kerley, of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, made a search of children’s skeletons showing a particular stage of bone development, which might reveal material useful in his research program. Dr. Thomas W. McKern, Quartermaster Research and Development Center, Natick, Mass., searched the collections for bones which would give distinctive appearances under exposure to ultraviolet light. This was part of his program to test the utility of ultraviolet light in the identification of skeletal material and especially in the separation of commingled remains. Zoology This spring, the fourth of a series ot expeditions generously sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. J. Bruce Bredin of Wilmington, Del., resulted in visits to 16 islands of the American and British Virgins and the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean. Staff representatives on the 1958 Smithsonian-Bredin Expedition were Dr. Waldo L. Schmitt, formerly head curator of zoology, now retired, and Dr. J. F. Gates Clarke, curator of insects. From the Virgin Islands they embarked on the 86-foot schooner Freelance, their home for 6 weeks. The skipper, Capt. Desmond Nicholson, who also skippered the ship in 1956, is an expert diver and marine man, and supplemented the expedition’s personnel very effectively. After departure from St. Thomas, the expedition visited St. John, Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Island, Virgin Gorda, Prickly Pear, Peter, Norman Anegada, Anguilla, Sint Maarten, St. Kitts, Nevis, Redonda, Barbuda, and Antigua. The collections made on this trip, while not as large as those made in 1956, are more selective. Visits were made to Dark, Bryant, and Darby Caves on Barbuda and to Bat Cave on Antigua. Dark Cave contains five fresh-water pools where blind shrimp and other crustaceans live. Thousands of millipedes, of a slender species, roamed the floor of the cave. Bryant and Darby Caves are actually ‘‘sinks’”’ caused by the collapse of the roofs of former caverns. The bottom of the Bryant Cave contains a large pool beneath an overhang, and all the rocks and surfaces of the ground are slimy. At Darby Cave, the unique feature is the growth of tall palms and many lianas in contrast to the otherwise scrubby growth of the Island. Bat Cave, on Antigua, is intensely hot and is populated by thousands of bats. The Smithsonian Institution has again benefited from the BredinSmithsonian Expeditions with valuable specimens added to the National Museum’s reference collection. The Institution is most appreciative to Mr. and Mrs. Bredin for their most generous assistance. <<>> Mammals.—Research on mammals was directed to the continuation of established programs involving major faunal areas, curator David Johnson on southeastern Asia and the Pacific islands, associate curator Henry Setzer on North Africa and the Middle East, and associate curator Charles O. Handley, Jr., on Panama and eastern United States. Dr. Setzer visited the laboratories of the Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3 in Cairo, Egypt, and carried on field work in the Western Desert, the Delta of the Nile, and southern Sinai. Shortly after the beginning of the fiscal year, Dr. Handley returned from an expedition to Panama, and in January he went back to Panama for two months to join again the field parties of the Gorgas Memorial Institute working on yellow fever surveys. These two trips resulted in a very extensive enlargement of his Panamanian material, adding some 1300 specimens to his series on which will be based his projected report on the mammals of Panama. Assisted by museum aides J. L. Paradiso and B. R. Feinstein, Dr. Handley collected small mammals and birds in the vicinity of Burkes Garden, Tazewell County, Va., during September, and in June on Assateague Island and adjacent areas in Accomack County, Va. In December, Dr. Setzer and Mr. Paradiso collected small mammals in the vicinity of Solomons Island, Calvert County, Md., as part of a cooperative project with the Maryland Department of Research and Hducation. During early March, Mr. Paradiso traveled to Florida and salvaged the skeleton of a rare beaked whale (Mesoplodon) stranded near Vero Beach. As a summer intern, Robert Packard studied American cricetine rodents of the genera Baiomys and Peromyscus in connection with his graduate studies at the University of Kansas. Birds.—Head curator Herbert Friedmann completed the manuscript of his monograph on the parasitic weaverbirds, and revised portions of the manuscript on the birds of Gabon (with A. lL. Rand and M. A. Traylor). He began a critical survey of the biological problems inherent in the phenomenon of parasitic reproduction in birds. Under a grant from the National Science Foundation and with his colleagues Ajl and Rust, Dr. Friedmann has made further progress in the study of the wax-splitting microorganism isolated from the intestinal tract of honey-guides. In particular, its inhibitory effect on the tubercle bacilli has been studied, both in animals experimentally exposed to tuberculosis and in tissue cultures with and without tubercular inoculations. He completed two papers on honeyguides, one on the general biology of the group, and one on new evidence causing certain changes in the taxonomy of these birds. Dr. Friedmann attended the meeting of the Ornithologists Union in September at Cape May, N. J., and in November he visited the <<>> Peabody Museum, Yale University, and the American Museum of Natural History to examine specimens in connection with his research projects. Associate curator Herbert G. Deignan completed the manuscripts of his catalog of type specimens of birds in the national collections, and of his distributional list of the birds of Thailand. He continued his revisionary studies of bulbuls, babblers, warblers, and other Old World groups for the continuation of the “‘Check-list of Birds of the World” begun by the late J. L. Peters. In November he traveled to Bangkok, Thailand, to attend the Ninth Pacific Science Congress as a delegate from the National Academy of Sciences, and at theclose of the session led a field expedition in northern Thailand. Museum aide Bernard R. Feinstein completed and published a study of the rosy finch Leucosticte of Arctic Alaska and added further data to his study of the geographic variations of the whiskered auklet, a bird of the northern Pacific. Dr. Alexander Wetmore, research associate, was away part of the year in southern Africa and also in Panama. While here he devoted much of his time to the study of his Panamanian and Colombian collections. Dr. Wetmore visited a number of museums in southern Africa and initiated arrangements with the National Museum of Southern Rhodesia that have resulted in the receipt of several lots of African bird skeletons, mostly new to the collections. Dr. Laurence Irving, research associate, completed a large manuscript on the birds of the western American Arctic, especially noteworthy as perhaps the most ambitious attempt to investigate and explain the adaptations of warm-blooded animals to Arctic conditions. Reptiles and amphibians.—Curator Doris M. Cochran completed a catalog of type material in the national collections containing over 1700 type names, with the pertinent data, synonyms, and geographical and historical data. Dr. Cochran, in collaboration with Dr. C. J. Goin of the University of Florida, began a study of the frogs of Colombia. As a summer intern, J. D. Hardy made a study of his large Cuban collections. Fishes.—Curator Leonard P. Schultz began a study of the silverhatchet fishes of the western Atlantic to be included in a forthcoming volume on the fishes of the western Atlantic, an extensive cooperative project among American ichthyologists. During the fall, Dr. Schultz studied type specimens at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, and at the American Museum of Natural History where he also participated in the board of editors meeting of the Sears Foundation for Marine Research. En route to the University of Miami, Fla., where he packed and shipped to the National Museum the preserved fish specimens collected by Colonel John E. Howard in the tropical <<>> Pacific, he examined fish collections in scientific institutions along the way. He lectured at Albion College, Albion, Mich., on March 16-18, participated in a symposium dealing with attacks made by sharks, held in New Orleans, April 7-11, and on April 13 at the University of Pittsburgh received from the International Federation of Aquarium Societies an award trophy and citation for being ‘Outstanding Aquatic Scientist for the Year 1957.” Associate curator Ernest A. Lachner advanced his revision of the diskfishes, order Echeneiformes, the only comprehensive worldwide study ever attempted on these creatures, and also began a revision of the families Apogonidae and Mullidae. In recognition of his continuing scientific activity, Dr. Lachner was appointed to the governing board of the American Institute of Biological Sciences, representing the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. He was also appointed to the editorial committee for Tulane Studies in Zoology, volume 5, 1957. Associate curator William R. Taylor continued his study of the fishes of the Arnhem Land Expedition of 1948, and with a revisionary study of the North American catfishes of the genus Noturus. Research associate Isaac Ginsburg brought close to completion his revision of two genera Hippocampus and Prionotus, and also analyzed the lateral line organs of the American Gobiidae with reference to their taxonomic and evolutionary significance. Imsects.—Curator J. F. Gates Clarke made final arrangements for the completion and publication of volume 8 of his ‘“Meyrick Types of Microlepidoptera.”” He completed more than 90 percent of his study of the Microlepidoptera of the Juan Fernandez Islands, and spent some time on preliminary examinations of Japanese Microlepidoptera. On March 21 he left for the West Indies as a member of the 1958 Smithsonian-Bredin Caribbean Expedition. In July he journeyed to Vienna, Austria, to supervise the packing and shipping of the F. T. Tippmann collection of Coleoptera to the U. S. National Museum. In recognition of his scientific activities, he was elected to honorary membership in the Sociedad Crucefia de Ciencias Naturales, Bolivia. Associate curator O. L. Cartwright completed: his study of the genus Bothynus, and is continuing his studies of Ataenius. On May 1 he traveled to El Salvador where he engaged in field work in connection with his study of Scarabaeidae. Associate curator R. E. Crabill completed several studies, including contributions to knowledge of the genera Hulithobius and Strigamia, as well as describing a new schendylid from eastern United States. He also contributed a section on the higher categories of the Arachnida for ‘‘A Manual of Acarology.” In order to conclude a number of research projects, Dr. Crabill spent most of August collecting specific 479802—58——_5 <<>> groups of Myriapods and Arachnids in certain localities of Massachusetts, Vermont, and New York, at which time he studied certain type specimens in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Associate curator William D. Field completed a reclassification of the Neotropical butterflies of the genera Hurema, Phoebis, and Aphrissa. He is continuing his investigations of various genera of the Pieridae. Miss Sophie Parfin completed her study of the bionomics of the Mantispidae and is continuing her investigations of aquatic Neuroptera. Marine invertebrates.—Curator Fenner A. Chace, Jr., completed a review of the western Atlantic mantis shrimps of the genus Lys?osquilla and is currently studying the fish-cleaning shrimps of the western Atlantic and the eastern and central Pacific, in collaboration with Harry Pederson of McAllen, Tex., and Conrad Limbaugh of the Seripps Institution of Oceanography at La Jolla, Calif. Associate curator Frederick M. Bayer has completed the handbook of the shallow-water octocorals of the West Indian region, begun in 1946; this extensive manuscript includes descriptions and illustrated keys for the identification of 75 species of soft corals occurring in depths of less than 25 fathoms from Bermuda to Brazil. Dr. Bayer has also completed a manuscript on the pterobranchs in the national collections, including a description of the first species of this unusual phylum to be recorded from the tropical Atlantic. A third manuscript is based on two previously undescribed species of plexaurid gorgonians from the Bahamas, and a fourth is a revision of the octocorals of the genus Paragorgia. In addition to these four completed projects, Dr. Bayer has made considerable progress on a study of the octocorals of northeastern South America, based on collections made by the Coquette and the Oregon. Associate curator Thomas E. Bowman completed a description of a new copepod of the genus Acrocalanus from off the southeastern United States. He has continued the preparation of his report on the calanoid copepods collected by the Theodore M. Gill in the same region from 1952 to 1954 and his review of the hyperiid amphipods of the genus Parathemisto occurring in the North Pacific and adjacent Arctic seas. Dr. Bowman has also begun a report on the copepods of the bays on the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico. Associate curator Charles E. Cutress has brought his study of the sea anemones of the Marshall and Gilbert Islands slightly nearer completion, has continued preparation of his revision of the genus Calliactis, and has nearly finished descriptions of two new zoantharians of the genera Parazoanthus and Hpizoanthus from California. Clarence R. Shoemaker, associate in zoology, has nearly completed <<>> a manuscript on some Pacific American amphipods. His four manuscripts on the amphipod genera Synchelidium, Megaluropus, Platyischnopus, and on the Talitridae of the Atlantic American coast are still in preparation. In a letter written just prior to his 89th birthday, J. Percy Moore, collaborator, reports: “In addition to a couple of compilations on leeches the only product of original research is one small paper on the Hirudinea from moderately deep water of the Antarctic. New studies for the year were devoted largely to a general study of leeches of the lakes and swamps of the South Atlantic States from Great Dismal Swamp to the Florida Everglades. I have accumulated some material and had hoped to do more collecting last winter from Chapel Hill as a base, but bad weather and other unfavorable conditions seriously interfered.” Mildred S. Wilson, collaborator in copepod Crustacea, has written a greatly expanded version of the harpacticoid section for the copepod chapter and a chapter on the Branchiura and the parasitic copepods for the forthcoming edition of Ward and Whipple, ‘‘Fresh-water Biology.”” She has completed parts four, five, and six of a series on North American harpacticoid copepods; these include diagnosis of eight new species, one from Utah being especially noteworthy because it belongs to a genus hitherto known only from marine habitats in northern Europe. Mrs. Wilson has also completed descriptions of three new copepods of the genus Diaptomus from Saskatchewan and a checklist of the calanoid copepods of that Province. Finally, she has finished the bibliographic work, including the cross-indexing of all the literature, and has outlined the work plan and style for her monograph of the North American fresh-water calanoid copepods. Horton H. Hobbs, Jr., research associate, has completed manuscripts on two new crayfishes of the genus Procambarus from South Carolina and Georgia, on two additional new species of the same genus from South Carolina, and a contribution toward a knowledge of the crayfishes of Texas. In collaboration with his students, he has finished descriptions of three new crayfishes from Alabama and Mississippi and of a new species of Procambarus from North Carolina (both with Margaret Walton), and observations on the testis of the crayfish Cambarus montanus acuminatus (with B. H. Word, Jr.). Dr. Hobbs has seven other projects under study: a checklist of the North American crayfishes, a monograph of the genus Procambarus, a, monograph of the Mexican entocytherid ostracods, a revision of the Cuban crayfishes, the crayfishes of the Lower Flint-Chattahoochee basin, the cave crayfishes of North America (with T. C. Barr, Jr.), and the ambulatory appendicular musculature of Cambarus scvotensis (with H. Puckett, L. Farmer, and R. Emmons). Dr. Hobbs has <<>> identified several hundred crayfishes for museums and investigators during the past year and he devoted a week in April to collecting in Alabama. Research associate Bertha M. Cutress visited the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University from May 19 to 23 to study the echinoderm collection there in connection with her project on echinoid spines for the Carter Oil Company. Harriet Richardson Searle, who was appointed collaborator in the division on January 11, 1901, died on March 28. During the dozen or so years that she was an active member of the staff, Harriet Richardson produced a most creditable amount of systematic research on the isopod crustaceans. Her most notable contribution, the monograph of the isopods of North America, published in 1905, is still a standard reference work for that branch of carcinology. Three men who were closely associated with the division in unofficial capacities during their professional careers died during the past year. Dr. Louis W. Hutchins, specialist on the Bryozoa, died October 27; Dr. Edward G. Reinhard, whose research on the rhizocephalan crustaceans was based in large part on material in the national collections, died January 29; and Dr. Max W. de Laubenfels of Oregon State College, world authority on sponges and for many years unofficial collaborator on that group for the Museum, died on February 4. During the year, 3,218 specimens were sent to specialists who agreed to identify material of various groups of invertebrates, for most of which there are no specialists on our staff. The specialists rendering these gratuitous services and the groups on which they work are: Dr. A. Weir Bell, microdrile oligochaete worms. Dr. John L. Brooks: Cladoceran crustaceans. Mrs. Josephine F. L. Carl: Cumacean crustaceans. Miss Ailsa Clark: Crinoid echinoderms. Dr. Elizabeth Deichmann: Holothurian echinoderms. Dr. Edward Ferguson, Jr.: Ostracod crustaceans. Dr. Abraham Fleminger: Calanoid copepod crustaceans. Dr. G. E. Gates: Earthworms. Dr. Dora P. Henry: Barnacles. Dr. Horton H. Hobbs, Jr.: Crayfishes. Dr. Perry C. Holt: Branchiobdellid worms. Dr. L. B. Holthuis: Decapod crustaceans. Dr. Libbie H. Hyman: Flatworms. Dr. N. 8. Jones: Cumacean crustaceans. Dr. N. T. Mattox: Conchostracan crustaceans. Dr. Frank J. Maturo, Jr.: Bryozoans. Dr. Marvin C. Meyer: Leeches. Dr. Milton A. Miller: Isopod crustaceans. Dr. George H. Penn: Crayfishes. Dr. Edward G. Reinhard: Rhizocephalan crustaceans. Dr. Mary D. Rogick: Bryozoans. Dr. Willis L. Tressler: Ostracod crustaceans. Dr. Huzio Utinomi: soft corals. Mrs. Mildred 8. Wilson: Copepod crustaceans. Dr. Harry C. Yeatman: Cyclopoid copepod crustaceans. Mr. F. C. Ziesenhenne: Ophiuroid echinoderms. <<>> Mollusks.—Curator Harald A. Rehder continued his studies of certain West Indian species of Muricidae and expected to complete them by the close of the fiscal year. He also was able to advance his account of the superfamilies Pyramidellacea and Cypraeacea and the family Terebridae, to appear in the “Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology” edited by R. C. Moore. He brought close to completion his studies of the marine mollusks of Los Roques Island, and made progress in his nomenclatural study of the molluscan names in the Portland Catalogue, of 1786, and he also worked on descriptions of new species of marine mollusks from Florida and the Caribbean. Associate curator Joseph P. Morrison added to his accumulation of data on the Hydrobiidae of America, a study of the systematics and ecology of this difficult family. He also added to the materials he has been collecting for a review of the American species of Ellobtidae and of the American brackish-water clams of the family Mactridae. Research by visiting investigators.—Staff members from Federal agencies and departments continued to use the facilities and consult the collections regularly. As in other years, a large number of investigators from various institutions in the United States, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico visited the department to study specimens or records, or to consult staff members or publications. The tenure of individual study here varied from a few hours or a day to nearly the whole year as in the case of Professor Virgilio Biaggi of the University of Mayagtiez, working on a oew book on Puerto Rican birds. Among the foreign scientists who pursued investigations in the department were Peter Crowcroft, British Museum (Natural History), Helmuth Zapfe, Museum of Natural History, Vienna, and Ian McLaren, Canadian Fisheries Service, who consulted the mammal collection. Among those visiting the collection of fishes were V. L. Vladykov, Quebec, Canada; William A. Dill, Rome, Italy; N. B. Marshall, London, England; Gerd von Wahlert, Bremen, Germany; Salah El-Zarka, Alexandria, Egypt; Uno Holmgren, Uppsala University, Sweden; Dang Joe Koh, Seoul, Korea; Feruya Uyeno, Kumamoto, Japan; John L. Kask, Ottawa, Canada; L. R. V. R. Pillay, Calcutta, India; Tae Yung Chung, Pusan, Korea; Ram Singh, British Guiana; Dr. J. L. B. Smith, Rhodes University, South Africa; Yahio Hiyama, Tokyo University, Japan; Peter Bottome, Caracas, Venezuela; Gilbert P. Whitley, Sydney, Australia; Ryuhei Soto, Tohoko University, Japan. The insect collections were of interest to Dr. Salvatore de la Torre, Oriente, Cuba; Dr. Donald Chant, Belleville, Ontario, Canada; Padre, J. S. Moure, Curitiba, Brazil; Mr. Hans Evers, Hamburg, Germany; C. D. Pelebassis, Athens, Greece; Dr. F. A. Estrada, Managua, Nicaragua; Dr. Frederico Lane, Sad Paulo, Brazil; Dr. Carl H. Lindroth, Lund, Sweden; Dr. Henry F. Howden, <<>> Dr. W. A. Mason and Dr. J. G. Chilcott, Ottawa, Canada; Dr. S. K. Wischowski, Skierniewice, Poland; Dr. Helmuth Zapfe, Vienna, Austria. The collections of marine invertebrates were consulted by Dr. E. L. Bousfield, National Museum of Canada, Ottawa; Dr. Alceu Lemos de Castro, Museu Nacional, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Dr. Patricio SAnchez, Universidad Catélica, Santiago, Chile; Dr. W. Stephenson, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, and Dr. Olive S. Tattersall, Hayling Island, Hants, England. Dr. Bengt Hubendick, Riksmuseet, Stockholm, Sweden, visited the mollusk collections. Botany Phanerogams.—Curator Lyman B. Smith organized his 1956-57 collections from the planalto of Santa Catarina, Brazil, and used the resulting data to carry forward phytogeographical research on the origin of the flora of southern Brazil. He has continued his studies of the Bromeliaceae, and has published several papers on this family during the year, including one extensive paper on the species in Colombia. Dr. Smith has begun the preparation of a complete monograph of this family which will include approximately 1,700 species. With Dr. R. J. Downs, he completed a study of the Euphorbiaceae of the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil; the manuscript includes 27 genera and 103 species and will be published in “‘Sellowia.” Dr. Bernice Schubert and Dr. Smith published an account of the Begoniaceae of Panama in Woodson and Schery’s ‘‘Flora of Panama.”’ During March he visited the New York Botanical Garden and the Harvard University Herbarium and Library to carry on bibliographic studies. Associate curator E. H. Walker continued his studies on the flora of Okinawa. The investigation was started in 1951 in cooperation with the scientific investigation of the Ryukyu Islands program of the Department of the Army and its aim is to provide a usable and accurate report of the flora of the region to assist in the development of natural resources for this area. As a prelude to a general treatment of the family Myrsinaceae in the Malaysian region, Dr. Walker is working on a revision of the species in Taiwan. During November and December he traveled to the Ninth Pacific Science Congress in Bangkok, Thailand, where he presided at the symposium ‘‘Bibliographic Problems in Natural Sciences in the Pacific.” En route he visited Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines, studying in various herbaria, lecturing, and making field collections for the National Museum. The third and final part of associate curator E. C. Leonard’s major study ‘“‘Acanthaceae of Colombia” was published in February. Nearly <<>> completed is his paper on the Acanthaceae of Argentina describing some one hundred species. He has started working on the Peruvian species of Acanthaceae for publication in Dr. J. F. Macbride’s Flora of Peru. Another long range project, on the flora of Hispaniola, covering more than 3,000 species, has been initiated. Associate curator Richard S. Cowan completed for publication another installment of the ‘‘Leguminosae and Rutaceae of the Guayana Highland” and published a report on the Leguminosae collected by the Machris Expedition to southern Brazil. In connection with his studies of the caesalpinoid subfamily of the Leguminosae he made significant progress in a monograph of the genus Swartzia. Dr. Cowan has advanced his work on Leguminosae entries for the Index Nomina Genericorum, 700 genera having been treated out of approximately 1,000. To further this study he has made three visits to the New York Botanical Garden. Associate curator Velva E. Rudd carried forward her studies of the American genera of the Leguminosae, subtribe Aeschynomeninae, and published an account of one genus of this group under the title ‘“‘A revision of the genus Chaetocalyx.”’ She has begun a revision of the American species of Ormosia. Research associate E. P. Killip continued collecting plants from southern Florida and the Isle of Pines, Cuba. Grasses.—Curator Jason R. Swallen carried forward his studies of the grasses of southern Brazil. Five new species of grasses collected by Dr. E. Y. Dawson on the Machris Brazilian Expedition were described and published by the Los Angeles County Museum. Mrs. Agnes Chase, research associate, has continued to keep the comprehensive catalog of grass genera, species, and varieties up to date and to check some of the older citations in books that are not readily available. Much of her time has been devoted to editing the manuscript of the revision of Aronopus by the late Dr. George Black and to working on the large collection of Brazilian grasses assembled by him, particularly the specimens of Paspalum. Dr. F. A. McClure, research associate, continued his studies of the bamboos under the auspices of the Maria Moors Cabot Foundation of Harvard University and the National Science Foundation. Under a grant by the Cabot Foundation, Dr. McClure visited Europe for the purpose of annotating and photographing types and critical specimens in herbaria at Paris and London for use in the revision of the Bambusoideae for the new edition of Engler and Prantl’s ‘‘Natiirlichen Pflanzenfamilien.”” He consulted with Dr. W. N. Pirie and Dr. D. J. Watson at the Rothamsted Experiment Station, Harpenden, Hertshire, England, on the subject of the relative efficiency of different species of plants in utilizing and storing the sun’s energy <<>> in forms valuable to mankind. Four days were spent with members of the Irish Department of Agriculture evaluating the prospect for the cultivation of bamboos on the peatlands of Western Hire, particularly at the site of the New Experiment Station at Glen Amoy, County May. At the request of the South Pacific Commission, Dr. McClure prepared a paper, “Bamboo for the Pacific Islands.” His illustrated manuscript entitled ‘Bamboo in the Economy of Oriental Peoples’? has been selected for publication in the current annual report of the Smithsonian Institution. Ferns.—Curator C. V. Morton continued his studies of tropical American ferns, with particular emphasis on species occurring in Cuba and the West Indies. Research was carried forward on commercial cultivated ferns and four papers dealing with the economically important genera Davallia, Cyrtomium, Microlepia, and Nephrolepis were prepared. During August and September he studied native flora in northern California, on the annual field trip of the American Fern Society. He attended the annual meeting of the American Institute of Biological Sciences, where he served as judge for the best paper delivered at the sessions of the American Society of Plant Taxonomists. Cry ptogams.—Associate curator Paul S. Conger carried on his research of the diatom flora of Chincoteague Bay, Md., continuing also with his revision of the genus Grammatophora and studies on abnormal forms and variations among certain diatoms. He began a study of Antarctic diatoms based largely on extensive collections from the British-Australian-New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition. Associate curator Mason E. Hale, Jr., assuming his duties in June 1957, conducted research on a major and long-term project of writing a lichen flora of the eastern United States. Dr. Hale carried on extensive field work in connection with this study, making trips to New Jersey, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. A large number of type specimens and approximately 1,000 collections from the West Indies have been studied and annotated in connection with a monographic revision of the lichen genus Parmelia in tropical America. Other research studies included experiments on the chemical strains of several eastern North American lichens. Dr. Hale visited the New York Botanical Garden, the Farlow Herbarium of Harvard University, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Yale University, Wellesley College, and the University of Florida to study herbarium specimens and to arrange for loans. He delivered a paper, ‘“‘Biospeciation in the lichen Cetraria ciliaris,” at the meeting of the Association of Southeastern Biologists, Tallahassee Fla. <<>> Research by visiting investigators.—Dr. José Cuatrecasas continued as a resident investigator on the basis of a grant received by the Smithsonian Institution from the National Science Foundation, and prepared the greater part of a monograph of the Humiriaceae. Dr. Kittie F. Parker, formerly of the University of Arizona, continued her research on the western Compositae. Dr. Marshall C. Johnston, of the University of Texas, studied the flora of the southwestern United States, using the herbarium on weekends throughout 1957. Also consulting the department’s collections were D. S. Correll, Texas Research Foundation; Hui Lin Li, Morris Arboretum; Rogers MeVaugh, University of Michigan; Harold E. Moore, Jr., Cornell University; C. H.

Staff members of other United States government agencies, especially the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture, continue to use the facilities of the department regularly. Geology Division of mineralogy and _ petrology.—Curator George Switzer completed the annual review of the diamond industry and continued work on a long-term research project dealing with the sulfate and related minerals. Associate curator Edward P. Henderson completed part 2 of a paper entitled ‘“‘Meteorites from Georgia.’”’ Two papers resulted from Mr. Henderson’s participation in the U. S. Air Force research program with meteorites. They are: “Evidence on the Nature of Airflow Around Stony Meteorites in Flight,” and “Morphological Study of the Grants, New Mexico, Meteorite.’”” Work progressed on several continuing projects, including a study of hexahedrites, metallic inclusions in iron meteorites, and the morphology of meteorites. Associate curator Roy S. Clarke, Jr., who joined the staff in October 1957, made chemical analyses of the Grant and Boaz meteorites and began work on two long-range research projects: a study of the system Na,O—CaO-B,0;-H,O0; and a study of methods of chemical analysis for stony and iron meteorites. Associate curator Paul E. Desautels, appointed August 26, 1957, began a study of the lead oxychloride and associated slag minerals of Laurium, Greece. This work will be greatly aided by the receipt during the year of nearly 400 pounds of Laurium slag, a gift from the University of Athens. Division of invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany.— Head curator G. Arthur Cooper completed his study of Recent and Tertiary rhynchonelloid brachiopods. Twenty-one genera, seven of them new, are discussed and details of their anatomy described. Little <<>> progress was made on the Mississippian and Devonian projects initiated during the previous year. Considerable progress, however, can now be reported in the Glass Mountains Permian project, which has been continuing for the past 19 years. Dr. Richard E. Grant, University of Texas, under a grant from the National Science Foundation, is participating in this program. After a short orientation period and two visits to the Glass Mountains, Dr. Grant started the descriptive work. He completed the revision of the Permian Orthoidea of the Glass Mountains and is now deeply immersed in the specific work on the Strophomenoidea, a large and prolific group of very complex brachiopods. In early September, Dr. Cooper and Dr. Grant worked in the Glass Mountains of Texas, measuring some newly discovered sections and revising details of the stratigraphy as the result of new discoveries there, and on a return trip in May were able to gain information hitherto unobtainable and to complete study of the Permian strata along the Glass Mountain front. Collections from new localities are expected to add new species as well as additional information. During the November meetings of the Paleontological Society, Dr. Cooper gave his presidential address entitled, ‘“The Science of Paleontology.”’ On April 10, he delivered the Gurley lecture at Cornell University on the ecology of productoid brachiopods. The Mary Clarke Thompson medal of the National Academy of Sciences was presented to Dr. Cooper on April 28, 1958, for his work in geology (stratigraphy) and paleontology (brachiopods). Associate curator Porter M. Kier, appointed in June 1957, prepared a paper on Upper Paleozoic echinoids, among the rarest of echinoderm fossils. Among his achievements in this connection is the preparation of the only known Pennsylvanian echinoid which is nearly complete and is the largest Paleozoic echinoid known, as well as the largest of all cidaroid echinoids. The preparation was a difficult one as the specimen had to be cut out of solid limestone. Another project of Dr. Kier’s is a study of the Paleozoic starfishes in the national collection. Many new and interesting specimens have been accumulated over the years since Dr. Charles Schuchert wrote a monograph on these rare fossils in 1915. Associate curator Richard S. Boardman, who assumed his duties on July 1, has spent most of his research time since then on the completion of his extensive manuscript on Devonian (Hamilton) trepostomatous bryozoans. The material is exceptionally well preserved and has provided much new information that is fundamental to bryozoan taxonomy. Dr. Boardman has begun work on two papers: one on the rhomboporoid bryozoans of the Devonian (Hamilton), and the other a restudy of three type species of bryozoans that were <<>> inadequately described. He accompanied a small party of U. S. Geological Survey geologists to the famous Falls of Ohio region near Louisville, Ky., where they studied the geological sequence and made collections of topotype material from the Devonian strata. Museum aide Henry B. Roberts continued his studies on Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain fossil crabs. He completed the revision of his manuscript on the Upper Cretaceous decapods of New Jersey and Delaware and prepared a large collection of Upper Cretaceous crabs from Mississippi for study. The Mississippi collection contains several new species for which descriptions are being drafted. Lawrence B. Isham, scientific illustrator, assisted the research of the staff of the department and that of other museum personnel as well. He prepared more than 500 pencil and pen and ink drawings of fossils, made up 62 plates, retouched pictures of fossils, and prepared charts and diagrams. The high quality and accuracy of Isham’s drawings are now legendary among paleontologists. Jack Scott, photographer for the department, prepared 470 negatives and 1,626 prints for all divisions in the few months since this job was established. His pictures are of the highest quality, and his work is invaluable to the research of the department. Division of vertebrate paleontology.—Curator C. L. Gazin completed a review, based on collections from the Bridger and Green River formations of Wyoming and Utah and from the Sespe and Poway formations of southern California, of primate evolution in North America from its culmination in middle Eocene through its wane in late HKocene time. Emphasis is placed on adaptive convergence in primate development and the probability is considered that the western or platyrrhine monkeys originated from a North American ancestry, indedependent of the Old World or catarrhine monkeys. Dr. Gazin is also describing a new artiodactyl] from the upper Eocene of Utah; he started the study of the Eocene condylarth Hyopsodus; and is investigating mammals from the lower Eocene Knight formation of southwestern Wyoming. In the summer of 1957, Dr. Gazin and exhibits specialist Franklin L. Pearce worked in the Bridger formation (middle Eocene) in southwestern Wyoming, searching intensively in the vicinity of Sage Creek, Smith’s and Black’s Forks between Grizzly and Church Buttes, and around Twin Buttes. Excellent skulls and other skeletal materials of primates, rodents, and perissodactyls were found, some of which will be prepared for exhibition. En route to the field they studied mounted skeletons of the Oligocene horse Mesohippus and camel Poebrotherium at the museum of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. {n November Dr. Gazin addressed the annual meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology at Philadelphia and attended meetings of the Geological Society of America and <<>> the American Geological Institute at Atlantic City. As a part of his research program to advance studies of Eocene primates and to borrow needed specimens, he also visited the Los Angeles County Museum, Princeton University, Yale University, Amherst College, the American Museum of Natural History and the Carnegie Museum. He continues to represent the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in the earth sciences division of the National Research Council, attending their meetings in March and April, and serves as chairman of the Eocene subcommittee on nomenclature and correlation of the North American Cenozoic formations of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. Associate curator David Dunkle, still almost wholly occupied with the exhibit modernization of the lower vertebrate hall, completed a paper, ““Three North American Cretaceous Fishes,” that corrects some misunderstanding of the biology and stratigraphy of these important fishes, and continued the delicate chemical preparation and serial sectioning of Jurassic fishes from Cuba, tasks that are yielding amazing results. Visits were made to the Carnegie Museum at Pittsburgh and the American Museum of Natural History in New York City to study fossil fishes. He continued to serve as chairman of the committee on National Science Foundation post-doctoral fellowships for the earth sciences division of the National Research Council. Associate curator Peter P. Vaughn made a study of a pelycosaurian brain-case with teeth on the parasphenoid bone, a rare occurrence not hitherto reported in this group of reptiles. He also completed studies of a specimen of Captorhinikos from the Hennessey formation of Oklahoma that yielded a correlation with the Clear Fork group of the lower Permian of Texas and more anatomical details of this reptile; a study of the geological range of Hryops and demonstration that this amphibian existed in late Pennsylvanian times; and a description of a new, small pelycosaur from lower Permian deposits near Fort Sill, Okla. Dr. Vaughn, who is also working with Dr. G. Edward Lewis of the U. S. Geological Survey on a study of the fauna of the Cutler formation of southern Colorado, visited the area and conferred with Dr. Lewis in Denver. In October, with William EH. Moran, a former employee of the vertebrate laboratory, and John J. Burke of Vandergrift, Pa., Dr. Vaughn explored parts of the Dunkard series (lower Permian) in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The party obtained several skulls of the nectridian amphibian Diploceraspis and fragments of labyrinthodont amphibians from the Mauch Chunk (Upper Mississippian) near Greer, W. Va. Assisted by exhibits preparator John H. Ott, Dr. Vaughn and R. D. Widman of the National Park Service spent two months in the spring collecting from Permian beds in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and <<>> Colorado. They found many fishes, amphibians and reptiles, and an especially interesting fauna near the top of the Clyde formation in Texas. The largest known dinosaur bone, a seven-foot humerus of the sauropod dinosaur Brachiosaurus, was presented to Dr. Vaughn for the collections of the Smithsonian Institution by D. E. Jones of Delta, Colo. Mr. Jones found this specimen in 1955, in the Morrison formation, Upper Jurassic of Colorado. At the meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in Atlantic City in November, he took part in a discussion on early dichotomy in reptilian phylogeny. Later that month he examined specimens of labyrinthodont amphibians at the Museum of Comparative Zoology and discussed his field plans for his trip to the Texas Permian with Dr. A. S. Romer. Research by visiting investigators.—Mineralogical materials for research purposes were furnished to investigators in many U. S. Government agencies and other organizations, including the U. S. Geological Survey; U. S.

Winters, University of California at Berkeley, fossil turtles; Dr. H. E. Wood, II, Rutgers University, land mammals of the Chesapeake Group; and Dr. Helmuth Zapfe, Museum of Natural History, Vienna, Austria, fossil primates. Science and Technology Although the primary present consideration of the department is the design of halls for the Museum of History and Technology, vonsiderable research has been accomplished. This includes the study of general exhibition concepts and their implementation. Physical sciences.—Head curator Robert P. Multhauf completed three research papers entitled ‘‘Paracelsus,” ‘“Libavius and Beguin,” and “Surveying Instruments, their Use and their Invention.” He delivered a paper entitled ‘‘The Role of the Technical Museum in Engineering Education” to the American Society for Engineering Education at Berkeley, Calif., served as a member of an advisory committee on the establishment of an Institute for the History of Technology at Case Institute, Cleveland, and has been appointed delegate of the History of Science Society to the American Association for the History of Science. Consultant Derek J. Price finished his tenure as advisor of exhibits in physics and astronomy on January 3, 1958. While associated with the division, he completed several research papers and delivered addresses on the history of science before the National Academy of <<>> Sciences, the History of Science Society, the Washington History of Science Club, and other organizations. Mechanical and civil engineering.—Associate curator Edwin A. Battison is now preparing a monograph of the Waterbury nonjeweled watch. His work on a catalog of the phonograph collection is being carried forward. Mr. Battison is a new member of the Museum Committee of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors. Electricity.— Acting curator W. James King completed a paper on the magnetic theory of William Gilbert. He is presently engaged in examining the Elihu Thomson collection at the American Philosophical Society Library and the archives of the General Electric Research Laboratory. Transportation.—Curator Howard I. Chapelle, assuming his duties in September 1957, completed his revision of the catalog of the watercraft collection. Considerable progress has been made in the drawing and specifications of ship models to be acquired for the Museum of History and Technology. Agriculture and wood products.—Curator W. N. Watkins continued his study of the origin of furniture woods and in February spent several days examining the slide collection at Duke University School of Forestry. Associate curator Edward C. Kendall completed a paper on the early John Deere Plow, and is now investigating the early McCormick reaper and its cutting apparatus. Medical sciences.—Curator George Griffenhagen completed an article on the origin of the apothecary show globe and, with Dr. Glenn Sonnedecker, Director of the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy, a study of the origin of the sugar-coated pill and tablet, published in August 1957, and is currently working on an encyclopedic study of drug jars. His research associated with these various projects involved several field trips to a number of art institutes and museums throughout the country. Mr. Griffenhagen served as Secretary-General of the Fourth Pan-American Congress of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, held in Washington, D. C., November 3-9, 1957. He was reelected Secretary of the American Pharmaceutical Association, Section on Historical Pharmacy. Associate curator John B. Blake, who joined the division on July 1, 1957, has completed a paper on Benjamin Waterhouse, first professor of medicine at Harvard University, which was read to the Henderson Medical History Club, Cleveland, Ohio. He also delivered a lecture on ‘‘Dental History and the Smithsonian Institution,” to the American Academy of the History of Dentistry at Miami, and another on “Medical History and the Smithsonian Institution,” to the Richmond Academy of Medicine, Richmond, Virginia. <<>> INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH ed Research by visiting investigators.—In connection with research on current meters A. H. Frazier, U. S. Department of the Interior, examined the collections, using them extensively in the project. Howard N. Barr of Baltimore, Md., visited the department on several occasions during the year transcribing records of Baltimore and Ohio locomotives with the intention of publishing a revised and complete roster of Baltimore and Ohio motive power. Forrest Cromwell of Washington, D. C., collector of watches, studied the reference collection of watches in connection with a project to establish a definitive collection in this field. Arts and Manufactures Industrial cooperation.—Head curator Philip W. Bishop provided introductions and headnotes for a 2-volume collection of readings in the history of science selected by George I. Schwartz of the Department of Biology, New York University. Research on Alexander Lyman Holley’s contribution to the United States steel industry was continued. Dr. Bishop has been invited to contribute a chapter covering the introduction of industrial techniques during the colonial period and the technical development of United States industry up to 1850, to “Histoire Générale des Techniques” to be published in 1960 under the editorship of Maurice Daumas of the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, Paris. Textiles.—Acting curator Grace L. Rogers continued research on copperplate-printed fabrics and other printing techniques. New and important facts concerning the important textile machines in the division’s collections have been revealed during the renovation of these machines. Significant errors in the assembly of the Slater spinning frame were detected. Miss Rogers and Donald Holst, exhibit worker, are compiling this information in the form of a historical and technical report. This report, with notes on new information on the Schofield wool-carding machine, the Slater carding machine and several others, is scheduled for publication during 1959. Ceramics and glass.—Acting curator Paul V. Gardner is studying little-known articles of French porcelain, enamels, jewelry, and ancient glass in the Alfred Duane Pell Collection and the John Gellatly Collection. Graphic arts.—Curator Jacob Kainen completed his critical monograph on John Baptist Jackson (1700?-1780?), an English artist who pioneered in color printing from woodblocks. This study, based upon new evidence, assigns a more important role to Jackson than he has previously been given and provides a record of his career and a complete catalog of his work. 479802—58——6 <<>> Associate curator Alexander J. Wedderburn continued his study of the work of Henry Fitz, Jr., who is reputed to have made daguerreotype portraits as early as 1839. Assistant curator Fuller O. Griffith began work on a checklist of lithographs of Childe Hassam (1859-1935). Research by visiting investigators.—Visitors to the Departments of Arts and Manufactures included Sir William Coldstream, Member of the Arts Council of Great Britain and Slade Professor of Fine Arts in the University of London; Mr. Lawrence Alloway, Deputy Director, Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; Mr. Nobuya Abe, Editor and Artist of Tokyo; Miss Ethelena Shamis, Museum of Modern Art, Sao Paulo; and Mr. Aldemir Martins, Brazilian artist. Dr. Louis Walton Sipley, Director, American Museum of Photography, Philadelphia, gathered information on the history of half-tone printing; Louise F. Howell, Southold, N. Y., was provided with copies of photographs in connection with a research project she is conducting concerning early American photography; J. D. Hatch, Jr., Director of the Norfolk Museum, was given information regarding early motion picture history; and D. MacKenzie, Technical Officer, Welland Division, St. Lawrence Seaway Authority, Ontario, Canada, was provided with information on underwater photography. Civil History Head curator Anthony N. B. Garvan assumed his duties in October 1957, and is conducting research on the application of anthropological techniques to history. He completed a study, ‘“The New England Silver Porringer—Its Symbolism and Social Significance.”’ Projects in progress are ‘““The Urban Practice of the Penn Proprietary,”’ ‘Index of American Cultures—Boston, 1675-1725,” and “An Account of American Custom.” Cultural history.—Acting curator C. Malcolm Watkins joined Frank M. Setzler, head curator of anthropology, in excavating the mid-18th-century site of the second courthouse of Stafford County, Va. It was discovered that the foundation plan matched exactly those of certain other contemporary courthouses in Virginia. Mr. Watkins continued his long-range investigation of 17th-century pottery from colonial sites and was able to complete the study of North Devon pottery and its shipment to America. This was facilitated by a trip to the archeological laboratory of Plimoth Plantation, Inc., at Plymouth, Mass. He delivered lectures at the tenth anniversary of the Dallas Glass Club and at the Henry Ford Museum Lectures series at Dearborn. He continues to serve as a consultant-member of the <<>> Independence Hall Furnishings Committee, Independence National Historical Park, and as advisor on furnishings at Gunston Hall. Associate curator G. Carroll Lindsay advanced his study of American silver by making several trips to the Henry F. du Pont Winterthur Museum for comparative examinations. On visiting Isle of Wight County, Va., he located and photographed the house from which the room finish was removed for the ‘‘Virginia parlor” in the hall of everyday life in early America. He prepared a complete chain of property titles and discovered both an inventory of the owner at the time the room was installed and a plat of the entire property. On a trip to Alton, Ill., Mr. Lindsay made selections from the collection of the late Daisy Mae Templin for several of the museum’s divisions. During the year he has given many lectures on silver and furniture. Assistant curator Rodris C. Roth completed a paper, ‘“Tea Drinking: Its Etiquette and Equipage in 18th-century America,” as part of a larger study of household surroundings in colonial and Federalperiod America. In connection with this project Miss Roth visited twelve libraries in New England and New York, studying prints, paintings, and decorative arts. Political history.—Acting curator Wilcomb E. Washburn joined the staff February 3, 1958. He has published a study of Bacon’s Rebellion in Virginia in 1676-1677, and is now engaged in a documentary study of that episode. Dr. Washburn is also making a study of ‘The Legal and Moral Justifications for Dispossessing the American Indian,” and a portion of this study will be published during the coming year. Associate curator Margaret Brown Klapthor continued her study of White House furnishings and china. She advised the staff of the White House during the rearranging and cataloging of their collection of White House china, assisted the Tryon Palace Commission in New Bern, N. C., on the subject of costumes, and lectured in Lexington, Ky., and St. Louis, Mo., on teaching proper museum techniques for the preservation and exhibition of costumes and related textiles. “White House Fashions and Decorations” was her subject at the Annual Lecture Series of the New Jersey Historical Society and Rutgers University. Mrs. Klapthor has written a history of Charles County, Maryland, for publication during the tercentenary anniversary of that county in 1958. Assistant curator Charles G. Dorman brought nearer to completion his ‘Survey of Delaware Cabinet Makers, 1700-1830.” Assistant curator Anne W. Murray made significant progress on her research project, ‘“‘A Catalog of the Copp Collection.” Numismatics.—Curator Vladimir Clain-Stefanelli continued his study of American engravers and medallists, and his work on two <<>> studies, “Reattribution of some Alexander Coins” and ‘‘Chronology of the Lysimachus Series of Kallatis.”” During the past year he visited the United States Mint in Philadelphia to study in detail coining operations. In a visit to Charlotte, N. C., he was able to study documents and engravings furnishing information about mining and minting in Charlotte and Mecklenburg county during the 19th century. A visit to the Yale University Library gave him an opportunity to inspect its important collection of American and foreign coins and paper currencies. The early 18thand 19th-century currency situation in New England formed the subject of research at the Archives of the State Library and at the State Treasury in Hartford, Conn. Assistant curator Elvira Clain-Stefanelli, appointed in September 1957, completed a study of world gold coinages struck since 1933 with an introductory study on the legal status of the different issues. >> and visited Connecticut and Massachusetts for the purpose of studying the arms collections of the Winchester and Colt Companies and those in the United States arsenal at Springfield. Research by visiting investigators.—Paul F. Cooper, Cooperstown, New York, performed extensive research on the Hall Arctic Expedition papers; Commander Levy Scavarda of the Brazilian Navy visited the division of naval history for a period of two weeks to study museum procedures; and Harold Peterson of the National Park Service completed his study of knives in the national collections and examined a number of bullet molds. The usual assistance was given outside researchers from government and private agencies, notably the National Geographic Society. <<>> Publications The scientific publications of the National Museum continued under the editorship of John S. Lea, assisted by Ernest E. Biebighauser, who also serves as editor of the Proceedings. On June 23, 1958, Mrs. Mary M. Ingraham joined the editorial staff as editorial clerk and proofreader. In addition to the Annual Report, the Museum issued 27 publications based on research in the national collections. Of these, 2 were in the Bulletin series, 17 were in the Proceedings series, and 8 were Contributions from the United States National Herbarium. At the close of the year, 10 Proceedings papers and the following Bulletins were in press: 193. A list and index of the publications of the United States National Museum, (1875-1946).
