Since the first of its new halls, Latin-American archeology, was reopened in 1954, reconstruction of 18 halls has been completed. In the Natural History Museum work is in progress on 6 others, and work on an additional 17 is scheduled. Modernization of the physical science, technology, and history exhibits has been combined with preparations for occupying the new Museum of History and Technology, now approaching completion. All of these exhibits are scheduled to be modernized before they are transferred to the 48 halls of the new museum. Portions of a number of them are already on temporary display in the Arts and Industries Building, and others are in process of design and construction. For an exhibits program of this scope to make significant progress, it must be guided by principles that take account of the needs and desires of the Museum’s visitors, who last year numbered approximately 6 million. Almost two-thirds of our visitors, it is estimated, are tourists. The others are from Washington and the neighboring states. Nearly half a milion of the total are young people who come in school groups—high school seniors on tour from all sections of the Union, foreign exchange students, and classes from schools in the Washington metropolitan area. <<>> In spring 1960 the pouring of concrete for the foundation slab of the Museum of History and Technology was completed, and by mid-summer erection of structural steel was underway. In this view the building is seen from the director's office in the Natural History Museum, across 12th street. The new museum is rising on the Mall between Madison Drive (left) and Constitution Avenue. At far right across the Avenue can be seen buildings of the Federal Triangle. <<>> Most of these visitors come to the Museum to be entertained, or to learn. All expect to see on display objects they have encountered at home or abroad, or heard about, or seen in the movies or on television, or read about in a book. Among the objects they come to see are many unique national treasures. Quite simply and obviously our task, therefore, is to select and display as many of the more than 54 million objects in our collections as the importance of the individual object warrants and our exhibit space permits. Furthermore, so that we do not become a mere curiosity shop, we must show these objects in a meaningful context. That is to say, a large museum with the resources of great collections to draw upon for its exhibits has the responsibility to show, in a manner that makes apparent their significance, those carefully selected objects that are of greatest interest, timeliness, and educational value. Wherever possible, we choose original and authentic objects. For obvious reasons, our new hall of oceanic life will contain the replica of a whale, just as our transportation halls abound in models of trains, fire engines, and ships. No replica, however, can replace our Hope diamond or the original Star Spangled Banner, no model, the Wright brothers’ aeroplane. In a large museum such as ours, moreover, the visitor rightly expects to see not merely original objects of importance, but a great variety of them. A token sampling of the kinds of minerals, for example, would be acceptable in a small museum lacking an extensive collection. We, on the other hand, would fail in our obligation to our visitors if our new mineral hall, featuring one of the world’s ereat collections, showed less than the 1,800 specimens it now contains. From this obligation arise two problems that have had to be met in planning and designing each of our new halls: First, how to show the variety of objects needed to represent our collections and to tell their story without reducing our halls to the tedious publicstorage type of display that characterized museums of the past generation. Second, how to provide a satisfactory explanatory context without using so many labe's and graphic devices that they overwhelm the objects and thus deflect the visitor’s attention from the object to the method of display. In our bird hall, opened in 1956, for examp!e, we selected a context appropriate to the objects and to the hall available for their exhibition. With no more than 4650 square feet of space available, the hall nevertheless contains 10 large habitat groups of unusual or little-known birds, 10 cases of representative birds from major geographic areas, 9 alcoves explaining important biological aspects <<>> of bird life, and a large central synoptic exhibit in which some 400 specimens show relationships among the principal families of birds. Here, without crowding or confusion, an adequate representation of the birds of the world is brought together in an explanatory context that focuses the visitor’s attention both on the exotic and unfamiliar and on biological factors that will contribute to his understanding of the birds he sees every day. Labels and graphic devices are subordinated, lest they dominate the objects on display and give our visitor the impression that he is walking through a 3-dimensional textbook. This type of exhibit may be suitable for a class visit to the Museum, but we must assume that most of our visitors will take a less specialized attitude and are interested in the objects for their own sake. Therefore, we so arrange objects that they demonstrate ideas and relationships pertinent to them. The visitor receives these ideas as emanating from his study of the objects, rather than as something merely imputed to them by the accompanying labels and graphic devices. When explanatory texts must be used, we try to keep them short and simple. Our young visitors, and their elders, too, need not digest massive doses of print in order to understand what is before them. Our First Ladies hall illustrates these points. Opened 5 years ago it displays, in rooms representing appropriate periods in White House history, our collection of dresses of First Ladies of the White House, and highlights a century and a half of changes in costume and interior decor. A minimum of printed label information is needed to convey the essential meaning of the exhibit, which is dominated by the orderly profusion of rare and authentic costumes and furnishings. A more recent example is our new agriculture hall. As the pictures on pages 17 to 22 indicate, models and full-sized implements, supported by graphic devices and labels, illustrate historic improvements in American farm implements over the past two centuries, and point to the European origins of these implements. At the same time, the visitor willing to pause a moment to study the hall in detail can appreciate from the exhibits some of the consequences of applying machines and power to farm tasks. At all times in our modernization program we keep in mind the wide range of interests represented by our visitors. The goal we seek is not an exhibit hall that attempts to force knowledge upon the visitor, that drives home a message, that propagandizes him. Rather, our goal is the exhibit hall in which the visitor will find it pleasant to learn, and in which learning is made easy. <<>> Buildings Additions to the Natural History Building The Congress, by act approved May 13, 1960 (P.L. 86-455), appropriated $13,500,000 toward the construction of additions to the Natural History Building. This is estimated to permit the construction of the east wing and the air-conditioning of the existing building. These are required to provide critically needed laboratories and workrooms for the scientific work of the Natural History Museum and necessary climatic control for the protection of the national collections in art, the natural sciences, and anthropology. The additions will also provide improved facilities for the convenience and comfort of the visiting public. Mills, Petticord and Mills are the architects for the additions, which will be built under the supervison of the General Services Administration. At the year’s end, the architects were reviewing the drawings with the staff of the Smithsonian and the General Services Administration in order to make the earliest possible start on the construction of the additions. Museum of History and Technology The principal contracts for constructing the Museum of History and Technology were awarded September 16, 1959, and construction began October 5. At the close of the fiscal year the construction of the building was reported to be 20 percent complete. Details of the steps accomplished during the year are contained in the report of the Jomt Congressional Committee (Senate Report No. 1408, 86th Cong. 2d sess., May 23, 1960) as follows: The Joint Congressional Committee on Construction of a Building for a Museum of History and Technology for the Smithsonian Institution submit this report on the progress of the planning and construction of the building. The last report submitted by the joint committee, May 20, 1959, described the ecommittee’s review of the detailed plans for the Museum of History and Technology. Since that report, the General Services Administration has obtained competitive bids and awarded contracts for the construction of the building. The low bidders and contractors are the Norair Engineering Corp., Washington, D.C., for construction of the building, $23,738,680; and the Otis Elevator Co., Washineton, D.C., for installations of elevators and escalators, $1,126,982. The General Services Administration also negotiated a contract with the architectural firm of Mills, Petticord & Mills, Washington, D.C., for the supervision of construction. Notice to proceed was given to the contractor, October 2, 1959, and construction began October 5, 1959. <<>> The General Services Administration reports state that some delay has been caused by the steel strike and the weather. The delivery of steel, which was still delayed as of the date at which this report was drafted, should permit the contractor to improve his progress. On March 16, 1960, the construction of the building was reported as 4.3 percent complete. If seasonal weather prevails during the spring and fall, improved progress can be expected to be maintained for the balance of the year. The contract requires the building to be completed in March 1962. The obligations to date indicate that the building ean be completed with the required equipment with the appropriated funds. The regents and staff of the Smithsonian Institution, with the advice of the joint committee, the architects, and the General Services Administration, are working as a team to apply the funds effectively to complete the building as the great national museum which the Congress envisioned it to be. The requirements which were presented as basic when the appropriation was made are being met in the construction of the building. Within the plan of the building’s external structure, which was carefully reviewed and adopted by the joint committee and subsequently approved by the Commission of Fine Arts, the Smithsonian Institution staff has developed designs for exhibits for approximately 38 major areas of historical and technological presentations. These have been related in a manner which will present a logical sequence of exhibited subjects. Construction has begun on these exhibits, many of which will be ready to install when the building is completed. These exhibits are being constructed to carry out the purpose of the Museum of History and Technology as it was described to the Congress in previous reports and statements. This is to illustrate within the new halls, by means of the Smithsonian Institution’s justly famous collections, the cultural and technological development of the United States. It will place before millions of visitors each year a permanent exposition commemorating our Nation’s heritage and tracing the history of the basic elements of our way of life. An imposing central hall where the great Star-Spangled Banner will be appropriately enshrined will introduce the museum visitors to halls exhibiting outstanding collections of significant objects illustrating the cultural and military history of the United States as well as the country’s scientific, industrial, and engineering progress. Personal memorabilia of outstanding Americans, including Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln among others, original patent models of significant inventions, period rooms and furnishings, architectural elements, costumes, weapons, tools, machines, early maps and contemporary prints, documents, scientific instruments, agricultural tools and machines, uniforms, vehicles, musical instruments, philatelic and numismatics collections, textiles, and ceramics are only a partial list of the classes of objects and exhibits which the visitor will see. In addition to the exhibition halls the building will contain laboratories for the preservation and analytical study of historical objects and shops for exhibits construction and maintenance. Workrooms for the curatorial staff will be adjacent to rooms designed for the preservation of reserve and study collections made up of millions of cataloged objects. These collections, which are of outstanding significance to the scholar, will be available for examination by interested visitors, students, and collectors. The importance of equipment needed to provide maximum security and protection for the priceless objects in the collections, as well as for the proper lighting of exhibits, for built-in television and electronic guide circuits, for the free flow of crowds of visitors from hall to hall and floor to floor, is revealed in the detailed <<>> plans which have been considered by the joint committee. Also recognized in the plans is the need to provide maximum flexibility within the structure for the future development of new collections and exhibits techniques. Wide column spacing, nonbearing partitions, and underfloor ducts for utilities are typical of the numerous devices incorporated in the plans for present and future use. The building as it is being constructed is truly a complex modern museum machine. It will show the national collections in outstanding exhibits to countless millions of Americans now and in the future. It will preserve these priceless collections under the best known modern conditions and make them available indefinitely and effectively for scholarly interpretation. The design architects, the firm of McKim, Mead and White continued to advise the Smithsonian Institution on the progress of the construction. Mr. John E. Cudd, liaison architect of the Public Buildings Service, General Services Administration, continued to advise on both buildings and performed valued services in communicating the requirements of the Smithsonian Institution to all concerned with the project. His thorough knowledge of both projects and good architectural judgment proved most helpful in many consultations on the work. Mr. A. R. Eno, supervisory engineer, who is detailed to observe and report to the Smithsonian Institution on the day-to-day progress of the building for the Museum of History and Technology, has watched skillfully over the interests of the Smithsonian and by his expert advice has materially speeded the communication of decisions on job conditions. Funds Allotted From the funds appropriated by Congress to carry on the operations of the Smithsonian Institution and its bureaus during the fiscal year 1960, the sum of $1,176,217 was obligated by the United States National Museum for the preservation, increase, and study of the national collections of anthropological, zoological, botanical, and veological materials, as well as materials illustrative of engineering, technology, industry, graphic arts, and history (this amount includes sums expended for the program of exhibits modernization). <<>> Exhibits The four halls opened to the public during this year bring to twenty the total of permanent exhibition galleries renovated in the first seven years of the continuing exhibits modernization program. During the year three halls were opened in the Museum of Natural History—two of them house the series of exhibits entitled ‘The World of Mammals,” and the third interprets fossil fishes and amphibians. The exhibits renovation program in this building is approaching the halfway mark. Extensive areas are now completely modernized, including six of the seven large galleries on the west side of the first floor. Within the next four years all but two of the first floor halls and a third of those on the second floor will have been renovated. Under the chairmanship of Herbert Friedmann, head curator of zoology, the committee coordinating and supervising the modernization of natural history exhibits has drafted long-range plans for the completion of the program. Extensive advance planning by the curators responsible for the scientific content of exhibition halls is necessary to provide time for field collecting and preparation of specimens and for the detailed specification of models and groups to be constructed for exhibition. The exhibits program of the Museum of History and Technology, being coordinated by assistant director John C. Ewers, is concerned primarily with the development of exhibits for the new building now under construction, and a number of these have been placed upon temporary display in the Arts and Industries Building. During the year a hall of farm machinery, major portions of the textiles and medicine and pharmacy galleries, as well as individual exhibits in various locations were installed. Exhibits for the halls of civil engineering, costumes, graphic arts, numismatics, petroleum, and underwater exploration also were produced, but most of these are being stored until the new building is ready. Exhibit unit scripts (listing specimens and specifying associated labels) were virtually completed for nearly two-thirds of the 47 exhibition halls in the new museum. In the exhibits laboratory, of 22 halls in the graphic design stage, 9 advanced to the production stage during the year. Meanwhile, in the laboratory and in museum workshops historic machines, tools, weapons, scientific apparatus, textiles, and other specimens were <<>> Exhibitions of Norwegian Folk Art in the foyer gallery. Exhibition of Greck Costumes, also in the foyer gallery. This and the exhibit above were designed by the exhibits laboratory for the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition Service. <<>> renovated for exhibition, and period rooms were carefully reconditioned and stored for later installation. John E. Anglim continued in charge of exhibition hall design and of the design and preparation of exhibits for the entire museum. Benjamin W. Lawless, with the assistance of Robert Widder in design, Bela S. Bory in production, and Robert Klinger in the model shop, supervised the exhibits work for the Museum of History and Technology. Rolland O. Hower, assisted by Thomas Baker and Peter DeAnna, supervised the renovation of exhibition halls in the Museum of Natural History. The design of the renovated halls in existing buildings has been greatly aided by Richard S. Johnson, design branch chief, and John H. Morrissey, architectural branch chief, of the architectural and structural division of the Public Buildings Service, General Services Administration, and by Luther Flouton, Henry E. Kerr, and Charles J. Nora, design architects of that agency. As hghting consultant, Carroll Lusk, museum lighting specialist of Syracuse, N.Y., provided valuable assistance to designers of exhibition halls for the Museum of History and Technology. Joseph G. Weiner, with the assistance of David M. Davidson and Edna W. Owens, continued the editing of the curators’ drafts of exhibit labels. In cooperation with Director Philip S. Hopkins and the curatorial staff of the National Air Museum, exhibits designer James Mahoney planned the 78 exhibit units for the renovation of the National Air Museum’s Aircraft Building. Installation of these exhibits, prepared under the direction of Bela S. Bory, is being completed. ‘‘Haniwa,”’ a special exhibition of selected Japanese burial mound figures from the National Museum of Tokyo, was designed by Benjamin W. Lawless and Robert Widder and was shown in the National Gallery of Art from January 9 to February 22, 1960. John E. Anglim, Rolland O. Hower, and members of the exhibits staff in the Natural History Museum designed and installed two large foyer exhibitions for the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition Service—‘‘Norwegian Tapestries,” December 1959, and “Greek Costumes and Embroideries,’ April 1960. For the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory designer Dorothy Guthrie developed a traveling exhibition, first displayed in April, at the National Academy of Sciences, interpreting the various phases of its satellite tracking operation. Anthropology Preparation of exhibits for the first of two modernized halls of North American archeology was initiated, and 17 cases were installed during the year. They include topical exhibits on aboriginal North American uses of tobacco, agriculture and food crops, aboriginal methods of shaping stone, and historic metal trade goods, as well as <<>> interpretations of the prehistoric Indian cultures of Alaska, California and the southwestern United States. The exhibits were designed by Terrell Bridges. Contract construction in the second of the two halls of North American archeology was completed in June. Curator of archeology Waldo R. Wedel is responsible for the scientific planning of all exhibits in both of these halls. Tentative plans for the modernization of exhibits of Old World archeology were formulated by associate curator Gus Van Beek. Curator of ethnology Saul H. Riesenberg and associate curator Eugene I. Knez cooperated with Dorothy Guthrie of the exhibits staff in developing the architectural layout for the hall which will interpret the cultures of the peoples of Oceania and Southeast Asia. At year’s end this hall was cleared in preparation for construction. Associate curators Knez and Gordon C. Gibson also consulted with Mrs. Guthrie in developing a tentative layout of exhibits in an adjoining hall which will interpret the cultures of the African, Eastern and Central Asiatic peoples. In March 1960 the division of physical anthropology placed on temporary exhibition in the lobby of the Museum of Natural History a display honoring the memory of Ales Hrdhéka, Czechoslovakianborn former curator of physical anthropology. This exhibit remained on view until after the annual meeting in May of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists, the national society founded by Dr. Hrdhéka. Zoology On November 25, 1959, two completely renovated halls were opened to the public as ‘The World of Mammals.”’ The variety of the new displays contrasts sharply with the series of synoptic exhibits they replaced. In wall cases are illustrated important biological principles such as how mammals develop into species, how they adapt to different climates and environments, how they develop the colors of their bodies, and the different ways in which mammals walk, obtain their food, and defend themselves. The specimens employed to illustrate these principles were selected to represent the various orders of mammals as well as the major geographic areas of the world. Other cases contain selected groupings of such familiar types of mammals as cats, dogs, bears, pigs, and primates. Habitat groups of various sizes, depicting large and small mammals in their appropriate natural surroundings, include African buffalo, square-lipped rhinoceroses, lions, zebras, armadillos, and gorillas. Many of the large African mammals in these halls were collected by President Theodore Roosevelt during his history-making African expedition of 563136—60—_2 <<>> 1909-1910, sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution. A large mural shows how primitive artists the world over have depicted the mammals well known to them. These exhibits were planned and developed under the scientific direction of Henry W. Setzer, associate curator. Architectural design was by Thomas Baker, who also supervised the preparation and installation of exhibits. Robert C. Hogue painted the backgrounds of the habitat groups, and Watson Perrygo supervised the taxidermy and the preparation of accessories. The mural was painted by Art Smith. Planning for the large hall of oceanic life was advanced during the year, and progress was made on the construction of the life-size reproduction of a 92-foot blue whale that will be its feature exhibit. Chris Karras designed the architectural layout of this hall, and a committee of staff zoologists under the chairmanship of head curator To construct a lightweight, accurate model of a thresher shark, a cast of the animal is lined with polyester resin reinforced by fibreglas cloth. Honeycomb cross-sections are used to strengthen the completed model. <<>> Herbert Friedmann developed plans for the scientific content of the exhibits. A contract for the exhibition fixtures was awarded in June. Tentative planning for a new hall of cold-blooded vertebrates and for the modernization of the hall of vertebrate osteology was begun during the year. Geology The opening on June 30, 1960, of a second modernized geology hall provided the first comprehensive review of fossil fishes and amphiblans ever presented to the public by the U.S. National Museum. In this hall the history and development of these two most primitive groups of backboned animals are traced back through hundreds of millions of years of geologic time. Events such as the development of jaws and the transition from life in water to life on land, so important to subsequent vertebrate evolution, are highlighted by diaerams and models. Among the unusual specimens displayed are a 14-foot skeleton of the predatory Cretaceous fish Xiphaciinus, the dermal-armored giant Devonian joint-necked fish Dinichthys, a series, exquisitely prepared, of fishes which inhabited the seas covering Germany during the Jurassic period, and a slab, from New Mexico, showing the crowded bones of the amphibian buettneria, entrapped in an evaporating Triassic swamp. This hall was developed under the scientific supervision of associate curator David H. Dunkle. Exhibits design was coordinated by Gorman Bond. Fossil specimens were prepared for exhibition in the paleontological laboratory. Renovation of the hall of invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany has progressed. Most of the colorful habitat groups for this hall have been completed by George Marchand of Ann Arbor, Mich., and the complicated and exacting task of assembling the large cephalopod Parapuzosia, which was presented to the museum in many pieces, was accomplished by Robert F. Jones with the advice and euidance of Henry B. Roberts. It provides a fine specimen for an exhibit, ““Giants of the Past.”” Dr. Erling Dorf of Princeton University prepared scripts for the taxonomic exhibits in the paleobotany section. The remainder of the scientific requirements for the hall were specified in scripts written by and under the direction of head curator Gustav A. Cooper. Architectural construction in the hall of fossil mammals was completed and the installation of exhibits begun. Many of the larger mammal skeletons were installed by the end of the year. This hall was designed by Ann Karras, and is under the scientific supervision of curator C. Lewis Gazin. In the paleontology laboratory preparators <<>> completed their assignments on projects for this hall. Among the materials new to the museum’s exhibit series are the skeletons of two extinct horses, Orohippus and Parahippus, and the Oligocene camel Poebrotherum, completed by exhibits technician John E. Ott; the remains of a large primitive rodent, Jschyrotomos, by Gladwyn Sullivan; and a composite restoration of the Eocene primate Smilodectes, by G. Donald Guadaegni. By the end of the year, preparation of specimens for the dinosaur hall was begun. Franklin Pearce started mounting the skeleton of the peculiar Triassic reptile Trilophosaurus; Kurt Hauschildt began remounting Dimetrodon, the well-known Permian sail lizard, adding a tail of proper length; and John Ott initiated the removal from matrix, the cleaning, and restoration of a well-preserved phytosaur skull recovered from Triassic rocks in West Texas. Associate curator Nicholas Hotton tr and exhibits designer Ann Karras developed tentative layouts for the modernization of the hall. The perplexing problems of moving and partially remounting a number of the huge and heavy reptile skeletons were studied in detail. Dr. Hotton visited museums in New York, New Haven, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Chicago to review dinosaur displays and to discuss procedures with staff members of those institutions. Thirty new gem stones were added to the exhibition in the hall of gems and minerals, which was opened to the public last year and has proved exceedingly popular with museum visitors. Science and Technology A script for the hall of physics, astronomy, and mathematics was completed by head curator Robert P. Multhauf with the assistance of consultants Peter Diamadopoulos and Julian H. Bigelow, while unit designs for a number of exhibits in the physics section were created by Benjamin W. Lawless. In August 1959 one ot the exhibits for this hall, a life-size group depicting the shop and tools of Henry Fitz—this country’s first commercial telescope maker—was installed in the Arts and Industries Building. Dr. Multhauf has nearly completed the seript for the hall of chemistry. A diorama for this hall, portraying the classical oxygen experiment performed in the laboratory of the 18th-century French scientist Antoine Lavoisier, has been produced and will be placed on temporary exhibition, Special exhibitions presented by the division of physical sciences during the year include displays on the invention of the cash register (featuring the first cash register, a gift of the National Cash Register Company), the development of the pyrometer (commemorating the <<>> wT JEASEY OSL e ane Among the earliest scientific instruments to come into general use in the United States were those of the surveyor, as shown in this special exhibit. The workshop of telescope-maker Henry Fitz, circa 1850, given to the Museum last year, was reconstructed as an exhibit. <<>> inventions of Edward Brown), a loan exhibition of machinery used in compiling the United States census, a display of American surveying instruments, and a collection of astrolabes received from the International Business Machines Corporation. Curator Eugene S. Ferguson submitted a preliminary script for the hall of tools. He also supervised the trial erection in the laboratory The first electric coal cutter (left) and the high intensity arc for searchlights (right) were among the many inventions of Elmer A. Sperry that were shown in the exhibition commemorating the 100th anniversary of his birth in 1860. of a pre-Civil War machine shop and the restoration of the machine tools to be displayed in it. Several exhibits for this hall are being prepared for temporary exhibition. Edwin A. Battison, associate curator, completed an exhibits script for the hall of light machinery and supervised the erection in the laboratory of the clockmaker’s shop that will be a feature exhibit in this hall. Exhibits for the hall are being designed by Fred Craig. Associate curator Robert M. Vogel gave scientific supervision to the production of 36 exhibit units, designed by John Brown, for the bridges section of the hall of civil engineering, and wrote the specifica <<>> tions for the construction of a number of the bridge models to be displayed in it. Curator Howard I. Chapelle continued writing exhibit unit scripts for the watercraft hall, and with the assistance of William Geoghegan prepared drawings and specifications for the construction of 18 exhibition models of historic ship types not represented in the museum collections. The repair and restoration of models in the watercraft collection continued. Approximately two-thirds of the ship models requiring this attention have been or are now being reconditioned. Assistant curator John H. White wrote the scripts for the street railway and steam locomotive sections of the railroad hall. Exhibits for both the railroad and watercraft halls are being designed by Ronald R. Tavares. The major portion of the script for the hall of electricity has been completed by acting curator W. James King, aided by consultants Robert A. Chipman and Guenter Schwarz. A diorama depicting the broadcast of a program from the studio of pioneer radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pa., was prepared during the year as one of the exhibits for this hall. Exhibits of medical and pharmaceutical history were designed by Ronald Elbert and Fred Craig from specifications furnished by curator John Blake and associate curator Sami Hamarneh. ‘Twelve of these exhibits were prepared and installed on the east gallery of the Arts and Industries Building. Others are in production. Arts and Manufactures On February 18, 1960, the new farm machinery hall was formally opened in the southeast corner of the Arts and Industries Building. The exhibits illustrate the drive toward mechanization that has been a feature of American agriculture since early in the 19th century. Available space limited the number and variety of actual machines that could be displayed. Accurate models show important steps in the development of the first practical reaping machines, but full-scale machines, Many in operating condition, tell most of the story of labor saving. Among them are a horse-drawn checkrow corn planter of the type in use before the invention of automatic planters; an 1877 Frick portable steam engine used until 1949; the third HartParr tractor, a large, heavy gasoline tractor built in 1902; two small tractors, an Avery Bulldog and a Wallis model K, of the post World War I period; and a McCormick self-rake reaper built about 1900 but of a type that was in use during the latter half of the 19th century. For contrast, many of the hand implements which preceded the machines are shown. <<>> pment OOd0d000-—+ » 000000000 000000—~—. 4 < —~-00000 = <<>> Models of early reaping machines in the reconstructed hall of agriculture. The earliest known reaper (top, right) was used in Gaul during the 1st century A.D. The model maker is completing the model (above) of Bell reaper, invented in Scotland, 1826-28. The exhibits in this hall were designed for eventual installation in the Museum of History and Technology, now under construction. Self-rake reapers of the type shown on the opposite page (top) became common in the period 1850-1900. The one-horse mower (below) dates from around 1875. A ‘‘flop-over’’ hay rake of the type on the wall above it was patented in 1822. Similar rakes were still being manufactured in the early 1900's. <<>> <<>> EXHIBITS Zl Above: Early factory-made iron plows from the period 1838-75. Background scene, from Harper’s Weekly, shows prairie breaking on a 65-squaremile central Illinois farm in 1871. Opposite, top: The European-type plow (left) was made in 1769 by a German blacksmith at Palatine, N.Y. Most early American plows were of the swing type (right), so they could be maneuvered in rocky, stumpy soil. Opposite, bottom: Typical ‘“horsepower.’’ Treadmills of this type were used throughout the 19th century to drive small threshers and other farm machinery. Scientific planning of the content of this hall was done by acting curator Edward C. Kendall; exhibits were designed by Ronald Elbert. Mr. Carl Rishell has been retained as a consultant to assist in the planning of the hall of wood products for the Museum of History and Technology. He brings a long experience in the timber industry, particularly with Timber Engineering Company, the research organization of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association. On December 9, 1959, the first portion of the textile hall gallery, tracing the history of the development of the sewing machine, was opened to the public. An introductory free-standing unit provides a review of early efforts to develop a mechanical sewing device. Seven cases show the types granted the first U.S. patents, the development of a practical machine, commercial treadle and hand machines of the 1850’s to 1870’s, unusual sewing machine patents of the period, and early sewing machine attachments. The historically important machines of Howe, Singer, and Wilson are shown, together with <<>> Steam power came into use on farms after 1850. The Frick portable steam engine (center) was in operation 1877-1949. Gasoline traction engines came into use about 1900; the two here date from about 1920. many interesting and unusual machines from the Museum collection, one of the most comprehensive of its kind in the world. Pictures of these are shown on pages 85-89. A second section of the gallery, opened on May 17, displays printing and dyeing techniques from the early painted cotton fabrics of India through tie-dyeing, batik, block printing, copperplate printing, roller printing, stenciling, and silk screen printing. A special temporary exhibit of rare printed textiles was installed on the rotunda gallery for the opening. It included a 17th-century German resistprinted linen, a painted Indian cotton of about 1700, an Oberkampf toile, an American commemorative print of 1840, and a warp-printed silk of 1867. Installation of the third and last section of the gallery exhibits was begun in May 1960. Preparation and installation of the textile fabrics in the new gallery exhibits was carried out, under the direction of acting curator Grace L. Rogers, by Nancy E. Vaughan and Doris Bowman of the division staff. Exhibits were designed by Paul Batto. <<>> EXHIBITS ay 23 Examples of 19th century machine-printed fabric with a diagram of the cylinder fabric-printing machine developed in 1783 by Thomas Bell. One of a number of new exhibits added this year to the textile hall opened last year. Theodore A. Randall, professor of ceramics and head of the department of design of the New York State College of Ceramics, Alfred University, Alfred, N.Y., served as consultant in reviewing the script for the hall of ceramics prepared by acting curator Paul V. Gardner. His suggestions have been particularly helpful in planning the introductory area of the hall and the ceramic studio which will be exhibited. Exhibits designer Dorothy Guthrie made good progress in the design of both the hall of ceramics and the hall of glass during the year. Displays in the ceramic gallery of the Arts and Industries Building were renovated and rearranged to present recently accessioned objects from the Berwick collection of Sandwich lacy glass, porcelain and elass from the Straus Foundation, and a collection of Portobello pottery lent by Mrs. Miriam F. Belcher. The Seventh International Exhibition of Ceramic Art was held from August 21 to September 25, 1959. In the three sections of the <<>> exhibition were shown 370 pieces of ceramics—114 contemporary foreign ceramics selected and loaned by the Embassies of the nineteen countries represented, 47 ceramics by invited American ceramic artists of national or international reputation, and 209 pieces by ceramic artists from the Washington, Maryland, and Virginia areas. Prizes were awarded to exhibitors, and during the exhibition demonstrations of wheel throwing and other ceramic processes were conducted. In May 1960 production was completed on the panel exhibits, illustrating the history and development of photomechanical printing, for the second of two large sections of the hall of graphic arts. These exhibits, designed by Harry Hart from scripts written by assistant curator Fuller O. Griffith, will be stored until the new museum is ready. Four additional wall print cases were added to the modernized hall of hand processes, and benches were placed in this hall for the use of the public. The design of a large number of exhibits was completed for the hall of photography by exhibits designer John Brown. Monthly exhibits of pictorial photography were continued during the year, and five special exhibits in graphic arts were shown: Recent additions to the collection 17th-century Dutch etchings Biblical etchings by Pierre van der Boreht Portrait engravings the collection Etchings by Thomas Moran from Dr. Charles J. Stine David Vestal Walt Disney productions Rudolph Eickemeyer National Photographic Society Minor White Marion Carnahan Barnes 13th Annual Exhibition of Marine photography, International GrRapuic ARTS 21 prints in all media from the collection 21 prints from the collection 21 prints from the collection 20 prints from the collection 21 prints from the collection 45 pictorial photographs 40 pictorial photographs “The Art of Animation” Selected Prints from the National Collection 40 pictorial photographs and 42 color slides 41 pictorial photographs 36 pictorial photographs 50 pictorial photographs July 1-August 27, 1959 August 28—November 30, 1959 December 1, 1959—February 2, 1960 March 1—April 30, 1960 May 1—June 30, 1960 June 1959 July, August 1959 July 14-August 3, 1959 September-October 1959 November—December 1959 January—February 1960 Mareh—April 1960 May 1960 <<>> Seripts for five industrial halls and plans for the renovated hall of petroleum in the Arts and Industries Building were in progress. The petroleum hall will comprise a portion of the exhibits intended for the new building, and is based on scripts by Philip W. Bishop, head curator of arts and manufactures. Installation of exhibits will be completed this fall. Associate curator Charles O. Houston assumed responsibility for the hall of coal. Mr. John D. Morrow, sometime president of the Pittsburgh Coal Company and the Joy Manufacturing Company, was appointed as consultant on October 10, 1959, and has provided the museum with a valuable link with the coal industry and with coal equipment manufacturers. The planning of the hall of iron and steel has continued with the help of consultant Lowell L. Henkel of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. Dr. Clyde L. Cowan and Mr. William C. Cleveland have continued in their consultative capacities in nuclear energy and general manufacturing, respectively. With their assistance important accessions have been secured and the exhibit plans substantially advanced. Dr. George L.. Weil cooperated in the first phases of the planning of the hall of nuclear energy but was compelled by other obligations to terminate his consultantship in that field. Civil History Head curator Anthony N. B. Garvan, assisted by associate curator Peter C. Welsh and junior curator Arlene Krimgold, made substantial progress in planning for the Museum of History and Technology the group of halls which will interpret the growth of the United States. The exhibits to be used in the section devoted to the period 1750 to 1850 were selected. Following the requirements of curator Wilecomb E. Washburn, exhibits designer Robert Widder virtually completed the design of units for the hall of political history. Objects were selected and prepared for the series of exhibits that portray the history of campaign techniques. Production of exhibits for the hall of American costume was well advanced at year’s end. Assistant curator Anne W. Murray wrote the script for the hall and Judith Borgogni and Virginia Kneitel designed the exhibits. A script for the First Ladies hall has been completed by associate curator Margaret Brown Klapthor. Meanwhile, period interiors for the George Washington drawing room and bedroom to be exhibited in the hall were being repaired and reconditioned. Individual cases devoted to such diverse subjects as George Washington, James A. Garfield, Cyrus Field, Ulysses 8. Grant, and women’s rights were renovated. <<>> Three special exhibitions were held during the year. On January 3, 1960, a special showing of women’s rights material was attended by delegates to the national convention of the National Woman’s Party, held in Washington, D.C. From March 10 to April 30 an exhibition on the history of the United States census, 1790-1960, was presented in the rotunda of the Arts and Industries Building in cooperation with the division of physical sciences and the Bureau of the Census. In June a colorful and timely exhibition entitled “America Votes” was opened in the West Hall of the Arts and Industries Building. It featured the collection of banners, tokens, lanterns, and other paraphernalia relating to national political campaigns presented by Ralph E. Becker, and political caricatures and cartoons from Harry T. Peters’ collection of American lithography. C. Malcolm Watkins, acting curator of cultural history, continued to prepare exhibit scripts for the hall of everyday life in the American past. The design of exhibits for this hall was begun by John E. Anglim, exhibits chief, and the repair and reconditioning of six period interiors and settings for this hall was undertaken under the direction of George Watson. . Associate curator John Shortridge, in consultation with exhibits designer Ann Karras, developed plans for the organization and layout of exhibits in the hall of musical instruments. A special exhibition of Spanish-colonial silver, principally from Ecuador, was installed in the lobby of the Museum of Natural History. The silver was collected early in this century by Daniel C. Stapleton and has been lent by his daughter, Mrs. George W. Renchard, of Washington, D.C. Vladimir Clain-Stefanelli, acting curator of numismaties, and associate curator Elvira Clain-Stefanelli completed the revision of exhibit scripts for the portion of the hall of numismaties to be installed in the Arts and Industries Building. A majority of these exhibits were designed by exhibits designer Harry Hart, and their production was begun in June. Following the repainting and reflooring of the coin hall in May 1960, two special exhibitions were placed on display in this area. Mr. Louis Ehasberg of Baltimore, Maryland, made available on loan his entire collection, including specially designed exhibit cases. The Eliasberg display has a triple distinction: completeness of the United States series, superb condition of the coins, and attractive presentation. It also Torches, costumes, flags, lanterns, umbrellas, and other paraphernalia of political campaigns of earlier years were featured in a special election-year exhibit. <<>> EXHIBITS Dh features an outstanding series of Latin American coins and foreign gold, as well as primitive media of exchange. A selection from the Willis H. du Pont gift of Russian coins and medals, formerly owned by the Grand Duke Georgi Mikhailovich of Russia, was displayed in another exhibition illustrating the life and military exploits of Peter the Great. Acting curator of philately George Turner, with the assistance of associate curator Francis J. McCall and assistant curator Carl H. Scheele, made marked progress in writing the exhibits script for the hall of philately and postal history. Attention was given to the 563136—60——3 <<>> design of special stamp frames for this hall, and progress was made in remounting the collection in preparation for its exhibition in these cases. Among the special exhibitions during the year were one of patriotic covers commemorating the approaching Civil War Centennial observances, and another featuring the “Liberty for All” theme used in New York for the National Postage Stamp Show. A featured display of United Nations stamps and postal stationery proved so popular that it has been continued indefinitely. Special exhibitions also were made available to the American Air Mail Society, Chicago, and to the National Postage Stamp Show, New York. Armed Forces History Head curator Mendel L. Peterson, acting curator Edgar M. Howell, and associate curator Philip K. Lundeberg completed scripts for the extensive series of exhibits which will interpret the history of America’s armed forces. Design of a section of these exhibits, equivalent to an exhibition hall, was nearly completed by exhibits designer William Eddy during the year. The foregoing curators also completed scripts for the hall of military and naval heraldry and the hall of military and naval art during the year, while assistant curator Craddock Goins, Jr., wrote the script for the hall of ordnance with the assistance of Mr. Howell and Dr. Lundeberg. Considerable improvement in the existing exhibits of the department was made by clearing the area in front of the Star Spangled Banner to provide a better view of this national treasure, and by the installation of naval and Marine Corps uniforms on the west gallery. Models of the dirigible Akron, the aircraft carrier Shangri-La, and the armored cruiser Pennsylvania were placed on exhibition in the hall of naval history. From November 20 through December 31, 1959, a special exhibition of the recently acquired and unique W. Stokes Kirk collection of United States military insignia and accoutrements was held in the rotunda of the Arts and Industries Building. This exhibition was designed by Lieutenant Colonel J. Dunean Campbell, U.S.A.R., of Harrisburg, Pa., an authority on United States military insignia. During January and February 1960 the division of naval history presented in the rotunda an extensive exhibition, “The Evolution of Census exhibit in the rotunda of the Arts and Industries building. With the statue of Freedom representing U.S. population in 1960, smaller models depict the nation’s population size respectively in 1890, 1840, and 1790. <<>> U.S. Naval Aviation,” which included carrier and aircraft models, selected combat paintings, numerous photographs and _ significant objects, ranging from Kugene Ely’s aircraft propeller to a group of current air-to-air missiles. A special exhibit of military and naval uniforms and insignia was prepared for the annual meeting of the Company of Military Collectors and Historians at Quantico, Va., May 6 and 7, 1960. <<>> Accessions During the Fiscal Year 1960 During the year, 2,014,443 specimens were added to the national collections and distributed among the eight departments as follows: anthropology, 57,202; zoology, 346,610; botany, 56,989; geology, 33,079; science and technology, 1,433; arts and manufactures, 1,075; civil history, 1,514,274; and armed forces history, 3,780.

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 will be found on page 108. Anthropology An interesting group of ethnological objects presented to President Dwight D. Eisenhower during his recent good-will tour was given to the division of ethnology. A major item includes a full size Iranian desk of khatamkari inlay made by the best craftsmen in the reign of Reza Shah and used by him and the present Shah. It was exhibited at the Brussels International Exhibition in 1958. A continuation of Mrs. Virginia Pollak’s generosity provided an excellent Mende (Sierra Leone) helmet mask, complete with raffia fringe, which is used in initiating girls into the Sande Society. Two hundred specimens from the Wai Wai Indians who inhabit British Guiana, collected by Dr. Clifford Evans, associate curator, and Dr. Betty J. Meggers, research associate, of the division of archeology, have been turned over to the division of ethnology. This unique collection includes wooden stools, cassava graters, pottery vessels, articles of clothing and ornament, tools, weapons, and utensils. A fine Chinese imperial dragon robe of the late Ch’ing dynasty was presented by Mrs. E. E. Daman of Louisville, Ky. An excellent walrus ivory cribbage board, carved in relief with human and animal motifs, collected near Nome, Alaska, was received from Mr. and Mrs.W. DeWitt of Erie, Pa. Fourteen specimens from Korea, donated by Lt. Col. and Mrs. G. W. Kelley of Alexandria, Va., represent articles of Korean costumes made of colorful silk brocade with subdued designs. <<>> DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY Archeology Ethnology .

The most outstanding group consists of 148 skeletons from the Sully Site in the Oahe Reservoir, S. Dak., occupied in protohistoric times by the Arikara tribe. Another important accession consists of 167 plaster-of-Paris face masks of various peoples, mainly from Africa, from Dr. Lidio Cipriani of Florence, Italy. These specimens add appreciably to the division’s large group of face masks and busts, and were specially selected to fill in the ethnic gaps from which there is no representation in the collections. The Cipriani collection will also be used in the Smithsonian’s exhibits modernization program. Through an exchange with the Peabody Museum, Harvard University, the division of physical anthropology received a new cast of the skull and lower jaw of Skhal v, one of the Palestine Neanderthal specimens. The Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research presented a cast of the upper jaw of Zinjanthropus boiser, a lower Pleistocene Australopithecine from Tanganyika, Africa. This is the first cast of the specimen, discovered in July 1959, to reach this country. A bust of Dr. Ales Hrdhéka, the late curator of the division of physical anthropology, was received as a gift from the National Museum Society in Prague, Czechoslovakia, and the Local Committee for the Ale’ Hrdliéka celebration. This bust, prepared by Milan Knobloch, constitutes a valuable addition to the memorabilia of an outstanding scientist in the Smithsonian Institution. The division of archeology received a total of 56,271 specimens for the year. Outstanding are a group of objects from a prehistoric Oklahoma mound consisting of rare textiles, engraved conch shells, pottery vessels, native copper artifacts, pearls, stone pipes, and chipped stone. Other items are from the Spiro Mound site in Le Flore County, dating probably from the 13th or 14th centuries of the Christian Era and representing a high point in the ceremonial art of the Southeastern United States. Zoology Fifty accessions, including a total of 4,242 specimens of mammals, were received in the division of mammals. About half the specimens came from Panama and the Canal Zone as a product of the program of collecting being carried out by Dr. C. O. Handley, Jr., in cooperation with the Gorgas Memorial Laboratory, units of the Department of Defense, and various private individuals. Through Dr. Robert E. Kuntz, of the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2, more than 300 mammals were received from Formosa. Dr. Robert Traub, of the <<>> Army Research and Development Command, contributed valuable collections trom Malaya, Borneo, and western Mexico. In continuation of the gradual accumulation of representative collections from eastern United States, the division received notable series of specimens obtained in Indiana by Russell E..Mumford, Dwight M. Lindsay, and Ralph D. Kirkpatrick; in Lancaster County, Va., by C. O. Handley, Jr., Louis T. Dymond, and D. I. Rhymer; in Maryland by C. P. Lingebach; and in New Hampshire by Bernard Feinstein. Important avian material obtained by the division of birds included two lots of Panamanian birds, comprising 1,313 bird skins, 93 skeletons, and 1 alcoholic specimen, all collected by A. Wetmore. Other significant accessions were 749 skins, 43 skeletons, and 1 alcoholic specimen ot North American birds transferred from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; 246 birds from Formosa transferred from the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2; 123 bird skins from Colombia by exchange with the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogot4; and 236 birds from Bechuanaland and Southern Rhodesia by purchase from the National Museum of Southern Rhodesia. Cooperating with the Gorgas Memorial Laboratory of Panama in its studies of tropical diseases, Museum scientists collected over 1600 specimens of mammals in Panama in 1960. Here the collection is laid out for cataloging. <<>> Noteworthy, although small, lots of reptilian and amphibian material were received from areas previously unrepresented in the national collections. The most interesting of these collections are: 14 reptiles from Saudi Arabia, donated by Dr. R. L. Peffly; 6 reptiles from Swan Island near Honduras, by transfer from the Coast and Geodetic Survey Ship “Explorer,” through Dr. Harris B. Stewart, Jr.; and 23 specimens of Leurognathus marmoratus, a very rare species of salamander, from Georgia, the gift of Dr. B. S. Martof. The largest accession of fishes received during the year is a lot of 8,500 freshwater specimens collected by W. R. Taylor and R. H. Kanazawa in the southern Appalachians, and another comprising 2,285 deep-sea specimens from the western Atlantic, transferred from the Fish and Wildlife Service. Mr. Harvey Bullis, Jr., donated a 15-foot thresher shark, a cast of which will be placed on exhibition. This specimen is unique among sharks because of its long tail. The most important insect material received is the scale insect (Coccid) collection deposited by the Department of Entomology, Cornell University, estimated to contain about 50,000 specimens, rich in type specimens. The division also acquired the John S. Caldweil collection of nearly 13,000 lantern flies and psyllids, as well as the Mark Robinson collection of 16,210 scarab beetles. About 16,969 miscellaneous insects from various parts of the world were given by N. L. H. Kraus; O. L. Cartwright donated an additional 10,000 scarab beetles from his personal collection, and he also collected 2,774 specimens for the Museum; Dr. K. V. Krombein contributed 3,467 specimens of mostly Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera; and Dennis E. Puleston presented 2,764 miscellaneous arthropods collected by him in Tahiti. This was a record-breaking year for accessions of marine invertebrates. The most important and most comprehensive of these are 6,900 shrimps and other invertebrates from the tropical and subtropical western Atlantic, transferred from the Fish and Wildlife Service, through Harvey R. Bullis, Jr., and John R. Thompson; a lot of 12,475 Antarctic invertebrates received from the Navy Hydroeraphic Office, through Dr. Robert R. Rofen; a collection of about 2,400 identified medusae from the Arctic Ocean, received from the Department of the Navy, through Dr. Cadet Hand; a collection of over 18,000 crustaceans from northern Alaska, presented by Dr. E. E. Reed of Colorado State University; and over 24,000 crustaceans and other invertebrates, mostly from Lake Pontchartrain, received from Tulane University through Dr. Royal D. Suttkus. The outstanding accession of mollusks is the C. R. Laws collection comprising about 12,500 specimens, purchased through the Frances Lea Chamberlain Fund. ‘This collection is the result of many years of labor by one of New Zealand’s outstanding malacologists. The <<>> second largest accession was a gift from W. H. Old, Jr., containing 8,200 specimens, including many rare and otherwise important species. Two important collections of Pacific marine mollusks were received, totaling about 3,950 specimens. Botany Among the important collections received as exchanges were 3,793 plant specimens from the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, including 3,050 ferns, many of them isotypes and valuable historic collections such as those of L’Herminier from Guadeloupe, Leprieur from French Guiana, and Bourgeau from Mexico; 5,808 plants of Indonesia from the Herbarium Bogoriense, Bogor, Indonesia; and 2,582 photographs of type specimens received from the Chicago Natural History Museum.

Conkin; and 1,100 specimens of Tertiary invertebrate fossils from Japan, from Tohoku Imperial University through Dr. Shoshiré Hanzawa. Funds from the Walcott bequest permitted the division of vertebrate paleontology to acquire 200 fossil mammalian specimens from various Kocene strata of southwestern Wyoming through field explorations by the curator, Dr. C. L. Gazin, and Mr. Franklin Pearce. Among other outstanding additions to the collections received as gifts are two record-sized tracks of carnivorous dinosaurs from Upper Cretaceous rocks in Utah, presented by the Kaiser Steel Corporation, and a unique skull of the Cretaceous fish Ananogmius zitteli, donated by Dr. J. Lloyd Watkins, Wichita Falls, Tex. Science and Technology The division of physical sciences acquired an outstanding collection of 21 astrolabes through the generosity of the International Business Machines Corporation. These instruments, representing the craftsmanship of Persia, India, North Africa, and Europe, date from the 13th to the 19th centuries. An equally elegant 16th century instrument was presented by Lessing J. Rosenwald. The latter is a folding sundial and compass to which several engraved maps and traveler’s itineraries of central Europe have been added. Also added to the scientific collections were the magnetometer used by Alexander Dallas Bache at Girard College (1840-45), from the Carnegie Institution; the first cash register of James Ritty (1879), from the National Cash Register Company; several examples of the first nylon produced, from the E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., Inc.; and a replica of the experimental furnace used by Dr. Alwin Mittasch in connection with the development of the commercial <<>> synthesis of ammonia (1909-12), from the Badische Analin und Soda-Fabrik AG. The division of mechanical and civil engineering acquired the tools and machines of the famous American instrument firm of Wm. Bond and Son, Boston. Included are a chronometer dated 1812, the first made in this country, and an example of Wm. Bond’s important invention, the chronograph. Other important acquisitions of this division include a rare wooden-bed engine lathe of about 1830, and several lathes and associated machine shop fixtures of about ten years later. These materials were located in an abandoned Rhode Island shop through the help of Helen I. Fraser, of the New London Historical Society, and James Kleinschmidt, of Mystic Seaport, Conn. Among a number of valuable builders’ half-models received by the division of transportation were two Cape Cod catboats from Martha’s Vineyard, the gift of Manuel S. Roberts. The collections of the section of land transportation were augmented by the locomotive “Pioneer” and a Camden and Amboy Railroad coach from the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. ‘These are the first full size pieces of steam railroad equipment to be added to the collections since 1885. The division of electricity received from the National Bureau of Standards several wavemeters used in the standardization of radio equipment in the 1920’s, and from the University of Michigan a Fleming cymometer and several early magnetrons. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology donated the G. H. Clark collection of documents and photographs on the history of radio. The division of medical sciences reports a relatively small number of accessions in comparison with the previous year. Some of these are a 13th century metal mortar and pestle made in Nishapur, Persia; an 18th century microscope made by Dollond of London; a 19th century set of nested, brass Troy weights; and one of the earliest types of ionization chambers designed for practicing radiologists. Arts and Manufactures Of special interest among the fabrics acquired by the division of textiles are a collection of Jacquard woven pictures, a 19th century warp-printed scene requiring over 100 blocks to produce one repeat, and a roller-printed portrait on silk, all presented by Mr. Arthur E. Wullschleger. An interesting collection of 19th-century plush, beaded, and embroidered fabrics was given by Dr. and Mrs. Leonard Carmichael. A handwoven linen tablecloth was given by Mr. George C. Claghorn. An unusual damask tablecloth, woven in 1860, with scenes from stories in the Old Testament, was donated by Mrs. Loren EK. Souers. The first pair of experimental nylon hose, made in 1937, and several bobbins of the early experimental nylon yarn were de <<>> posited by E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., Inc. These are interesting and historically significant additions to the exhibit on manmade fibers. The division of ceramics and glass received from Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower a 13-piece porcelain tea set, produced about 1770 in Wiirtemberg, Germany, by the Ludwigsburg factory, one of the greatest of the 18th century porcelain manufactories. This tea set was presented to the President and Mrs. Eisenhower by His Excellency Theodor Heuss, President of the Federal Republic of Germany. Mrs. Clara W. Berwick made another generous gift of 102 pieces of Technicians preparing a special exhibit of astrolabes, the gift of International Business Machines Corp. American and European glass. One outstanding art object in this group is a dark blue glass plate with an enameled decoration taken from the 12th century creation mosaic in one of the domes of St. Marks Cathedral in Venice, Italy. The division of graphic arts acquired an important group of fine prints. These include a superlative impression of the chiaroscuro woodcut David and Goliath, by one of the earliest masters of this art, Ugo da Carpi (1455-1523); two fine color etchings by Johan Teyler (1650-1700), the earliest pioneer in this medium; a superb large color mezzotint, Cupid Shaping his Bow, by Edouard Gautier-Dagoty (1717-1785); and a chiaroscuro woodcut, Pluto, by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1616). Among the outstanding accessions received as gifts is a collection of 255 portrait engravings by important Huropean artists of the 16th—19th centuries presented by Colonel and <<>> Mrs. Robert P. Hare, ur. These engravings include examples of the work of such artists as Wierex, Bolswert, Leoni, Muller, Audran, and Nanteuil, and include contemporary portraits of such distinguished personages as Philip 11, Charles 1, Galileo, Sir Thomas Chaloner, and Thomas Carlyle. The division of industrial cooperation received several specimens representative of the development of oil field exploration equipment. A 1925 Suess torsion balance was a valuable acquisition. A portable pipe line pumping unit as developed by S. 8. Smith of the Shell Oil Co. and first used in the North African campaign of 1942-43 was transferred from the Department of the Army. Some interesting specimens for the hall of nuclear energy have been acquired. >> ACCESSIONS Al history from Lincoln Isham were the gold and enamel bracelet worn by Mrs. Lincoln as First Lady and a black onyx lapel watch worn by her after the death of her husband. Two dessert plates from the state china used at the White House during the administration of President James K. Polk were given by Mr. and Mrs. B. Woodruff Weaver. Additions to the collection of American period costume included a wedding dress of about 1800, given by Mrs. Susan Inglehart; an 18th-century woman’s brocade caraco jacket, presented by Mrs. James L. Collins, Jr.; and two dresses worn in Maryland in colonial days, donated by Miss Katherine K. Scott. The division of cultural history received, from the family of Harry T. Peters, the “America on Stone” collection. It is a definitive collection of nearly 2,000 lithographs by printmakers other than Currier and Ives. Political cartoons, sporting pictures, and urban views are only a few of the many classifications in which the collection has authoritative representation. The Cooper Union Museum donated a group of 76 musical instruments, predominantly plucked-string instruments such as lutes and guitars, which were needed to round out existing collections. An important transfer from the National Park Service comprises 37 pieces of mid-19th-century cast-iron architectural elements from the waterfront district of St. Louis. The division of philately and postal history received the A. H. Wilheim collection of United States plate number and position blocks of stamps of between 1894 and 1958. Nearly every printing plate used in the production of United States stamps is represented in all positions. An excellent reference collection of Japan’s 1-sen value of 1872 was donated by L. W. Christenson. John P. V. Heinmuller presented an album of Zeppelin covers, completing the transaction started last year. B.H.Homan, Jr., transferred his previously loaned specimens of Saxony stamps as a gift. Supreme Court Justice John M. Harlan donated a considerable number of early United States covers extracted from the papers of his grandfather, Supreme Court Justice John M. Harlan. Added to the numismatic collections were some important specimens. One of these is the collection of Russian coins and medals struck in the name of Czar Peter the Great, donated by Willis H. du Pont. Mr. du Pont also included 11 volumes of Grand Duke Georgii Mikhailovich’s monumental and very rare monograph on Russian coins. The coins and medals as well as the books came from the private collection of the Grand Duke. This accession included a virtually complete collection of Russian bronze and silver coins struck since 1700, paralleled only by the Hermitage collection in Leningrad. Another noteworthy accession is the anonymous donation of 736 Canadian silver and copper coins, including the rare and famous 50-cent piece of 1911 formerly owned by King Farouk of Egypt. <<>> Dress helmet of the First Treop, Philadelphia City Cavalry, circa 1839, recently acquired with the W. StokesKirk collection of military insignia and headgear. Armed Forces History One of the three original 49-star flags prepared in advance of the new design was presented to the division of military history by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Two exceptionally fine swords owned by General Benjamin Lincoln of the Continental Army were received from one of his descendants, Mrs. Henry K. Cowen. One was carried by him during the Revolution, and the other was presented to him by General Washington after General Lincoln received the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. Outstanding among the naval material received during the year in the department of armed forces history was a collection of 134 builders’ half-models of 19th-century warships, constituting a veritable national treasure by virtue of its exceptional scope, from the United States Naval Academy. Other notable accessions included models of the U.S.S. Pennsylvania (the birthplace of carrier aviation), the aircraft carrier Shangri-La, and the dirigible Akron; thirteen oil paintings illustrating United States Coast Guard operations in World War II, from the Treasury Department; and a collection of relics of the Spanish American War and World War II, from the United States Coast Guard Academy. The collections were further enhanced by the W. Stokes Kirk collection of United States military insignia and accoutrements, totaling approximately 3,000 items. It is considered by many authorities to be unmatched in scope, volume, and rarity. <<>> Care of Collections TransLent for ferred to Transstudy to Accessions Exchanged educaferredto _investiga(transacwith other tionalinother govtors and Departments and tions) 1960 ‘Received institu_ stitutions, ernment otherinSpecimens Divisions (new ) on loan tions etc. agencies stitutions identified Anthropology . 85 0 At 1, 138 163 706 58, 310 TOOlOay . . . 770 1,082) 8 408 %& 25 567 58,560 66, 273 Botany. . . . 310) | BOO A NG 776 0 18,909 16,365 Geology... 367 112 7, 459 50 263 5,860 20, 068 Science and Technology . 209 21 5 0 0 69 320 Arts and Manufactures. . 124 451 7 0 a 64 6, 042 Civil History . 464 1,181 0 0 O 1,305. 93 789 Armed Forces JeliGwOwW o o 90 545 0 1 0 119 5, 682 Tomas, . 2223 7,20 IG MA WOW Sa mee Bee, e420 Anthropology Chief exhibits specialist A. Joseph Andrews cleaned, repaired, and treated with preservatives 424 pieces of basketry from the collections in the division of ethnology. In addition he treated and repaired a variety of ethnological objects from all parts of the world, such as slate carvings from the northwest coast Indians, African and Korean masks, the prow of a Pacific Island canoe, an Apache bracelet, an Arapaho buffalo doll, Zulu figurines, a Japanese sword, the wood carving of an Ibis from an Egyptian tomb, and prehistoric pottery. He also modeled, molded, cast in hydrocol, bronzed, and mounted two heads of Australian aborigines. The scientific illustrator for the department, George R. Lewis, prepared many drawings of diverse types, as well as charts and maps, for purposes of publication. One hundred and thirty-four paintings by George Catlin have now been cleaned, relined, and restored by Henri Courtais. The original canvases of this unique ethnological collection have been removed from their 75-year-old wooden frames and stretchers and made to adhere to a thin aluminum backing. The meticulous removal of old 43 563136—60——4 <<>> coats of varnish and layers of smoke and dust has revealed background colors heretofore unknown, and in the process some historical information has been uncovered. When the 450 paintings have all been completely renovated, the style and freshness of George Catlin will have been rediscovered. All ethnological items stored in the ceramic gallery of the Arts and Industries Building have been re-examined and some have been reclassified. Asian ceremonial masks have been grouped to make them more accessible and to preserve them more effectively, and the entire Burmese collection has been studied and checked against the catalog cards by Miss Onma Maw, a staff member of the Burmese National Museum. Assistant curator Robert A. Elder, Jr., and museum aide Clarence A. Bender extensively revised catalog records, photograph archives, and files in order to facilitate research and to prepare old exhibit halls for renovation. In the division of archeology, museum aide George Metcalf has completed the classification and listing of several large accessions. Associate curator Van Beek continued the program of systematizing the storage of the Old World archeological collections, arranging them according to types within culture areas. A large number of Greek and Roman lamps were transferred from the division of ethnology during the last few years. Approximately half the lamps in the archeological collection have now been studied. With the assistance of museum aide Robert Jenkins, a number of specimens, chiefly pottery, were cleaned by chemical and mechanical methods to remove the heavy incrustation acquired while the specimen was buried in soil and debris. The study collections in the division of physical anthropology have had the attention of associate curator Marshall T. Newman and museum aide Richard Jensen. They have sorted out, repaired, and accessioned the large collection ot skeletal remains recovered earlier by William Bass in Sully County, Oahe Reservoir, S. Dak. Mr. Jensen also studied and classified a series of smaller collections from various sites explored in recent years by the Smithsonian River Basin Surveys. The inventory of subadult skulls begun last year was continued. The objective is to make this segment of the collections more accessible and to obtain data on suture closure for research purposes. Zoology In the long-term project of incorporating the mammal collections of the Fish and Wildlife Service with those of the Museum of Natural History, special effort was devoted to the rabbits and squirrels, and the detailed arrangement and index carding are well advanced. A <<>> large collection of baleen plates, formerly stored in crates in the attic, was fumigated and placed in insect-proof cases in the east court shed. As a result of the program of renovating exhibits, several hundred mounted specimens were removed from the exhibition halls. Many of these are the only representatives of their species in the collection, or have scientific value for other reasons. A start has been made on the large task of checking their histories, assessing their value for the research collection, and deciding what disposition to make of them. All bird material received was fumigated, identified, cataloged, and incorporated into the main collection except for lots being held out for study. A number of important specimens received from Formosa were remade for study. During the year several thousand specimens were reidentified by associate curator Deignan and museum aide Feinstein and also by Mr. Burleigh and Dr. Aldrich of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. All specimens of reptiles and amphibians received were identified, cataloged, and processed. The inventory of the lizard collection was well advanced and may be completed by the close of the present fiscal year. The collections of fishes are in an excellent state of preservation, and those processed and cataloged are arranged in an orderly manner and are readily accessible. The storage space in the basement of the Restoration of the national collection of 450 Catlin Indian paintings is being carried out by conservator Henri Courtais. <<>> bird house in the National Zoological Park is almost completely filled. Eight small storage tanks were constructed during the year but have not been installed. Material progress was made toward incorporating into the main collection important lots of insects. From the Monrés group of leaf beetles, Mrs. Doris Blake has labeled and transferred some 55,000 specimens. From the Tippman, Spangler, and Caldwell collections 52,026 specimens have been labeled and incorporated. The expansion and rearrangement of the Scarabaeidae involved labeling and incorporating some 46,210 specimens from the Cartwright and Robinson collections. Under the direction of associate curator Frederick M. Bayer, the sponges, coelenterates, and annelid worms have been moved to new locations in order to make room for material that could not be accommodated under the old arrangement. Associate curator Charles E. Cutress, assisted by summer intern Philip L. Perkins, relocated the sea anemone collection. The alcoholic stacks, except for the echinoderm alcoves, which must be attended to during the coming year, and the crayfishes, are now better arranged than has been possible for several years. Museum aide Livingston has completely checked and refilled the alcoholic lots of euphausiids, penaeid shrimps, barnacles, crayfish types, and a few sections on the upper deck of the stacks. The physical condition of the mollusk collections was improved by extensive rearrangement of portions of the study material and the cataloging of an unusually high number of lots of specimens. Museum aides Byas and Pendergrass rearranged the duplicate collection in the attic and labeled all cases and drawers. All the open steel racks have been replaced by standard quarter-unit cases and the collection is now dustproof. With the cooperation of the U.S. Geological Survey, the molluscan library was reorganized and the books renumbered and carded. Botany Only minor and routine changes were made in the arrangement of the collections. There is some crowding in the division of phanerogams, and a general expansion will be needed within the next year. The major activities in caring for the permanent collections and the processing of new material are summarized in the following table: 1958-59 1959-60 Specimens and photographs mounted). 9 1. eae) Sl 336 sols a9 Specimens Lew aired ie practere ens ede cet ale eee ae pom eae ne 9,137 12, 584 Specimens stamped and recorded isse ites 2804 oo AG Specimens incorporated in herbarium) 2-60.94 1.2.9.) .) 32,106) 48N729 <<>> There are now 57,924 types in the segregated type herbarium, including 40,137 phanerogams, 10,050 grasses, 3,372 ferns, and 4,365 cryptogams. ‘This is an increase of 414 during the year. Geology In the division of invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany, associate curator Porter M. Kier, with the help of summer intern Marvin Schroeder, reorganized the large collection of type echinoderms. These are now arranged alphabetically by the name under which they were described. This method has the advantage of permanency. Museum aide James P. Ferrigno has been assisting associate curator Richard Cifelli in the task of taking care of the collection of Foraminifera. Priority has been given to the cataloging, labeling, remounting, and distributing of specimens into the collections. To ease the problem of distribution, thousands of specimens and of slides must be remounted to the modern type of storage slide. To facilitate the preparation of foraminiferal samples, which must be boiled with chemicals and then screened, the large room in the “acid” house was partitioned. This provides a small but adequate laboratory for this type of processing. Associate curator Richard S. Boardman, assisted by Mr. Tully Robison of the U.S. Geological Survey, inaugurated a year-long proeram of sectioning primary types of Lower Paleozoic bryozoans that resulted in the accumulation of 1,200 thin-sections. >> Science and ‘Technology Restoration of objects for exhibits in the new Museum of History and Technology probably occupies more of the time of members of this department than any other activity. The result of this has become most apparent in the division of transportation, where approximately half the collection of automobiles, and something more than half the older ship models that are to be exhibited, have been restored. An important aspect of this program is that it enables the staff to replace parts which were missing when some of the more important objects were received. For example, the Duryea automobile has finally been supplied with head lamps. The Ramsden dividing engine, one of the most important items in the collection of instruments, was restored to its original condition. Other items restored include a group of printing telegraphs, the surveying equipment (18th century) of John Johnson, a considerable quantity of dental equipment, and several machine tools for installation in the pre-Civil War machine shop. Arts and Manufactures Substantial progress has been made in renovating and recording the collections in the division of agriculture and forest products. Museum aide John Wingo has cleaned, repaired, and lacquered the better patent models of farm and food processing machinery, and encased them in transparent plastic to make them dustproof. Approximately 5,450 items have been inventoried in the division of ceramics and glass, and the program of transferring objects from storage in the Museum of Natural History to the storage gallery of the Arts and Industries Building is virtually complete. Cataloging and accessioning of new objects and inventories of collections received from the division of ethnology and the National Collection of Fine Arts are progressing satisfactorily. In the division of graphic arts, progress is being made in the task of rematting prints for storage in new storage units. Museum aide James W. Norwood matted and made minor repairs to about 1,200 prints and separated them into categories of size and color. Reorganization of the photographic collections continued as museum aide Rudolph G. Morris located, cleaned, recataloged, and reorganized between 8,000 and 9,000 specimens. Museum aides John Carter and Linwood Lucas have continued to renovate specimens and to reorganize stored material in the division of industrial cooperation. In the division of textiles the reorganization of the fabric storage by type and technique was initiated and has progressed adequately. Fabric mounting and the reinforcing of fragile pieces was completed <<>> by museum aide Doris Bowman. A cataloging backlog of several hundred laces was eliminated this year by the joint efforts of junior curator Nancy Vaughan and Miss Johanna Van Nierop, lace consultant. Museum aide Everett Parker has begun reorganizing the storage of hundreds of textile patent models. These models are being checked, cleaned, and stored in lockers. Tests conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Secret Service and the Bureau of Standards have provided a method for quickly determining certain rather elusive modern counterfeits. Here the x-ray back-reflection patterns of two gold ceins, which appear similar and genuine under usual visual examination methods, show a definite difference. The rings on the right, for a struck, genuine piece, are much narrower and less spotty than those on the left, for a centrifugally cast, counterfeit piece. The method is reliable, relatively easy to apply, and nondestructive. Civil History In the division of cultural history, junior curator Anthony W. Hathaway completed a systematic reorganization of the study collections on a cultural area basis, following the Human Relations Area File outline of world cultures and the Index of American Cultures of Winterthur Museum. William Dowd, of Cambridge, Mass., skillfully restored to playing condition three 17th-century keyboard instruments. Exhibits specialist Edgar Johnson brought to playing condition a viola d’amore and a rare 18th-century one-keyed flute. Equally spectacular was the reconditioning of the wooden statue of William Pitt, carved by ship’s figurehead carver Joseph Wilson <<>> about 1795 and presented by Mrs. Arthur M. Greenwood. The last surviving figure of the carved images which populated the garden of ‘Lord’? Timothy Dexter, the statue was in an advanced state of decay. George H. Watson, of Sturbridge, Mass., has worked continuously on the preservation, restoration, and preparation for exhibit of the woodwork and room interiors to be installed in the Museum of History and Technology. In the care of the numismatic collections material progress was made in the removal of Krylon sprays from coins. This spray has made it difficult to distinguish even between recent proofs and regular strikes. The lacquer was difficult to remove but ““CD Cement 94” and Krylon thinner, used as solvent, proved the most effective cleaning agents. The preservation of paper currency and other documents of value was continued and various types of film have been investigated. Experiments concerning the use of X-ray spectrography as a nondestructive method for determining the composition of metallic objects were continued this year on a limited scale. Other experiments concerned the application of the principle of X-ray diffraction as a nondestructive means for determining techniques used inthe manufacture of coins and medals. The preservation and classification of new specimens in the division of philately and postal history continued throughout the year. The program of regrouping stamps in new stockbooks, initiated in 1955, is partially completed. Major C. C. Fisher, consultant, has classified and mounted the precancel collection, using special albums developed for this purpose. The postal stationery collection has been stored in new specially manufactured file cabinets. A concentrated effort has been made in the division of political history to meet the conservation problems by proper fumigation. Regrouping and reorganization of storage materials continued. Repairs by outside experts were performed on several political banners in the collections. George Washington’s four-poster bed and the Rose Elizabeth Cleveland dress were renovated for exhibition in the First Ladies Hall. Armed Forces History Considerable progress was made in the restoration, renovation, and rearrangement of the military collections. Exhibits specialist Donald Berkebile and museum aide Calvin Dickey repaired and cleaned approximately a third of the weapons designated for exhibition in the Museum of History and Technology. The extensive collections of leather ordnance material and saddles were treated with preservatives and are now being stored in more accessible units. <<>> The deterioration, from dry rot, of approximately 300 World War I posters was arrested by the use of a lamination process. The facilities of the preservation laboratories of the National Archives were used in this work. Summer intern Dennis Sheehan and museum aide Donald Kloster continued the rearrangement of the military reference collections. Mr. Sheehan completed a cross-reference file of all firearms and checked all the hand guns in the reference collections against the card catalog files. Mr. Kloster continued the removal of material from the north gallery and north hall and arranged it in the new storage units acquired for the topical reference collections. In addition to his other duties, museum aide John L. Rawls had undertaken the major long-range task of repairing and restoring a number of the warship half-models recently acquired from the United States Naval Academy. Steps have been taken to restore ten of the older warship models, ranging from the Constitution to the battleship Wyoming and the dirigible Akron. This program of model renovation will be completed prior to the opening of the new Museum of History and Technology. Museum aide Alan Albright continued the treatment and restoration of materials recovered from underwater sites. Both inorganic substances, such as metals and ceramics, and organic materials, such as leather and wood, were treated, and improvements were made in the techniques of restoration. Mr. Albright also began the imbedding of friable objects in plastic, a technique which will be used with increasing frequency. <<>> Investigation and Research Museum of Natural History Subsequent to attendance at the LX International Botanical Coneress in Montreal during August, Dr. A. C. Smith, Director, continued to serve on the editorial committee of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature; a new edition of this document, incorporating decisions taken at the Congress, is in preparation. At the meeting of the American Association of Museums, held in Boston in May, Dr. Smith acted as chairman of the science museums section and organized a symposium on “The Role of the Research Museum in Science.” In his capacity as organizer for the section of botany of the X Pacific Science Congress, to be held in Honolulu in 1961, he arranged with various conveners to plan nine symposia on topics of interest to botanists. Anthropology Head curator Frank M. Setzler has in press a report on the Welcome Mound that he excavated on the Columbia-Southern Chemical Corporation property near New Martinsville, W. Va., in the fall of 1957. This paper describes the first carbon-14 date (341 B.C.) from this archeological horizon in West Virginia and a unique tubular effigy pipe, as well as several effigy pipes from other Adena sites. Just before the close of the year three reports, containing results of his investigations in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia, were published in volume 2 of Records of the American-Australian Scientific Expedition to Arnhem Land. A detailed report on Mr. Setzler’s excavations of Marlborough Town near Stafford, Va., was completed. In this connection he and co-author C. Malcolm Watkins gave two talks on the significance of this early and important historical site. During the celebration at Columbus, Ohio, of the Diamond Jubilee of the Ohio Historical Society, Mr. Setzler was named an honorary life member of the Society, and he delivered a paper on the excavation of the Welcome Mound, W. Va. Archeology.—Dr. Waldo R. Wedel, curator of archeology, continued progress on his manuscript of the 1952 investigation conducted <<>> jointly with Princeton University, at the Horner Site, a 7,000 year old game kill near Cody, Wyo. He also prosecuted his study of a large collection from the Missouri River near its junction with the Cheyenne, investigated during his official detail to the River Basin Surveys in 1951 and 1955-57. In November, Dr. Wedel attended the Darwin Centennial Celebration at the University of Chicago as official delegate of the Smithsonian Institution. He also participated in sessions of the 17th Plains Archeological Conference at Lincoln, Nebr., conferred with various staff members of the Nebraska State Historical Society and the Smithsonian River Basin Surveys office in Lincoln, and studied collections in the museums of the Society and of the University of Nebraska. In connection with the 25th annual meeting of the Society for American Archeology at New Haven, Conn., in May, Dr. Wedel delivered a paper entitled ‘Plains Archeology, 1935-1960,” as part of a survey of progress in American archeology during the past quarter century. During these meetings he examined documents, in the Western Americana collections of the Yale University Library, concerning early historic explorations on the Upper Missouri and in the northern Plains. Associate curator Clifford Evans and Dr. Betty J. Meggers, research associate, delivered two scientific papers at the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association in Mexico City, December 26— 29, one on an archeological evaluation of obsidian dating and another on tropical forest agriculture. Following the meetings, three weeks were spent visiting regional archeological museums in Mexico and studying the unpublished collections of Early Formative materials excavated by the New World Archeological Foundation at Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas. Some of the early materials from the site of Chiapa de Corzo show definite affiliations with the Formative Period of coastal Ecuador and coastal Guatemala. A most significant new research project was the collaboration of Drs. Evans and Meggers with geologists Drs. Irving Friedman and Robert Smith of the U.S. Geological Survey in the preliminary development of a new system of dating using obsidian. Because obsidian hydrates, and thus develops in the outer layer a change that can be observed and measured, rates of hydration can be established for various areas and the thickness of the hydration layer can be used to determine the date when the artifact was manufactured. A preliminary report was delivered at the 1958 annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association and was published in the journal American Antiquity. A grant from the National Science Foundation will place the project on a full-time basis by utilizing the services of an assistant for a 2-year period, beginning in September 1960. <<>> Dr. Evans continued as an advisor on anthropological matters and a member of the selective committee of the Organization of American States fellowship and applied social science programs. In May 1960 he was appointed to a 4-year term as a member of the Advisory Board of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, in addition to serving on the Latin American Selective Committee of that Foundation. Dr. Gus W. Van Beek, associate curator, continued his research on pre-Islamic South Arabian culture, with special emphasis on the development of a pottery chronology for this region, a project he began before joining the staff. Progress has been made on the classification and the preparation of the pottery section of the manuscript. In connection with this program, Dr. Van Beek began an investigation of the possible use of x-ray photography in the analysis of the forming techniques employed in making ancient pottery. He is being assisted in this project by Miss Lucile Hoyme, anthropological aide in the division of physical anthropology, who serves as radiologist. The quite promising preliminary results were presented by Dr. Van Beek in a paper, ‘‘The Multiple-Piece Technique of the South Arabian Potter,’ read before the annual meeting of the American Oriental Society in New Haven, Conn. While in New Haven, he studied the Yale Babylonian collection and consulted with staff members on the technique of making seal impressions; this information will be of considerable value for the modernization of the Old World exhibits. Lectures were delivered on South Arabian archeology to the Maryland Academy of Sciences in Baltimore, and to the Anthropological Society of Washington. Dr. Van Beek served as representative of the Smithsonian Institution and archeological advisor at a number of meetings called by the Department of State concerning United States participation in the archeological salvage program of the United Arab Republic and the Republic of Sudan. Museum aide George Metcalf has advanced his research report on several prehistoric village sites in central Nebraska to the point where over half is in rough draft manuscript form. He published in American Antiquity a contribution to Plains archeology entitled “Coiled Sherds from the High Plains.” Neil M. Judd, research associate, continued his preparation of a manuscript covering researches on the archeological materials collected by him in Chaco Canyon, N. Mex. Physical anthropology.—Curator T. Dale Stewart participated in a symposium on the ‘“‘Peopling of the Americas” at the December meeting of the American Anthropological Association in Mexico City. The point of view he developed, based mainly on genetic inferences drawn from living Indian populations, provides no basis for believing <<>> that the present status of these populations required the passage of a long period of time since man first arrived on this continent. For his report on the fragmentary Neanderthal skeleton known as Shanidar 11, all the bones have been described and practically all of the illustrations prepared. The section of the report relating to the pelvis was given special treatment for separate publication in Science. In spring 1960 Dr. Stewart revised his chapter in the textbook “Tegal Medicine,” providing new data on skeletal aging based on examination of remains of American soldiers killed in North Korea. He also prepared a short article for the Federal Bureau of Investigation Law Enforcement Bulletin describing the similarity, under certain circumstances, of bear paws and human hands and feet. Bear hunters often dissect out the hands and feet separately and throw them away; these bones may be mistaken by laymen and law enforcement agents for corresponding parts of the human body. From December 7 to 11 in Guatemala City he served at the invitation of the Instituto de Nutricién de Centro America y Panama (INCAP) as consultant on race in a conference on atherosclerosis in Latin American populations. On June 1, Dr. Stewart left for Baghdad, Iraq, to reconstruct the skull of Shanidar mu. This 1960 Shanidar Expedition, jointly sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution and Columbia University, continued the collaboration between Dr. Stewart and Dr. Ralph S. Solecki, formerly of the Smithsonian staff. When the postcranial skeleton of Shanidar 1 has been cleared of the tons of cave deposits, Dr. Stewart will visit Shanidar Cave and remove the skeleton to Baghdad for study. Associate curator Marshall T. Newman completed a manuscript on Indian skeletal remains from the Lake Springs, Ga., site. It demonstrates the presence of the Iswanid variety of the Southeastern Archaic period in eastern Georgia and adds to the knowledge of a roundheadedness unusual for this cultural horizon. Dr. Newman completed a report analyzing the palm and fingerprints of 400 Guatemalan Indians; significant is its successful application of dermatoglyphic methods to problems of biological distances between Maya Indian populations. He also reported on ‘The Dermatoglyphics of Middle American Indians,” to be published in the volume of physical anthropology of the forthcoming ‘‘Handbook of Middle American Indians.” Also for this Handbook, he prepared with Dr. D. F. Roberts, of Oxford University, an analysis and summary of the correlations between bodily physiology and climate for these Indians. On the relationship of body mass and proportions to nutritional status in 60 series of New World natives, he completed a comprehensive paper that will clarify the influence of the important environmental factor of diet upon physique for a large segment of mankind. Dr. Newman has continued his analysis of growth patterns <<>> in the Vicos Quechua children, a research project directed toward appraising the growth rates of these Indian children under a continuing program of dietary supplementation. Miss Lucile E. Hoyme, anthropological aide, concentrated on furthermg two studies begun before she left for England in 1957. The posture of fossil man is of interest both as a basic scientific problem and as a practical problem in planning exhibits dealing with human pre-history. Osteological evidence has been given conflicting interpretations; therefore, it has seemed worthwhile to examine some of the more crucial reports in the context of contemporary evolutionary theory. Miss Hoyme has also continued her inventory of juvenile crania. Although the study’s primary benefit will be to make our juvenile collections more useful, the data derived are of scientific importance in themselves, for they will permit conclusions on the variability in sequence of tooth eruption, the incidence of premature vault suture closure, and the age of basilar suture closure in these hitherto unreported populations. Ethnology.—Curator Saul H. Riesenberg pursued his analysis of Micronesian and Samoan culture. Three short papers have been published in the past year, and a monograph on the political organization of Ponape is nearly ready for publication. A study trip to Houghton Library, Harvard University, and to the Whaling Museum and Old Dartmouth History Society, New Bedford, Mass., enabled him to make further progress on his ethnohistorical studies of Micronesia. At the annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association in Mexico City in December he gave a paper on ‘‘Political Advancement on Ponape: Fact and Theory.” Dr. Gordon D. Gibson, associate curator, continued research on the social organization of the Southwestern Bantu. >> Alfredo HE.

Zoology The 1960 Smithsonian-Bredin Expedition, made possible by the continuing generosity of Mr. and Mrs. J. Bruce Bredin, of Wilmington, Del., visited and made general collections of invertebrate material on the coast of the Yucatén Peninsula, Cozumel Island, and the Cayman Islands. Three members of the staff of the department of zoology were included in the personnel of the expedition, Dr. Harald A. Rehder, curator of mollusks, Dr. J. F. G. Clarke, curator of insects, and Dr. Waldo'L. Schmitt, research associate in marine invertebrates and expedition leader. The collections brought back contain much interesting material that will be useful for future studies. Mammals.—Curator David H. Johnson completed the final report on the mammals he collected in the Northern Territory of Australia on the American-Australian Scientific Expedition to Arnhem Land of 1948, and published a preliminary paper describing four new species and subspecies of mammals in this collection. He also pre <<>> Newly opened hall, ““Mammals of the World” gives the visitor an understanding of mammals functioning in their environment. A group of African hartebeests faces the entrance.

Considerable progress was made on the study of the mammals of Korea being done jointly by Dr. Johnson and Dr. J. Knox Jones, Jr., of the University of Kansas; a report on the insectivores of Korea was finished and published, and the manuscript of a report on the rodents was almost finished at the end of the year. Associate curator Henry W. Setzer continued his studies of Egyptian mammals collected by U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3. He began work on the carnivores and on the jirds (genus Meriones), and in December made a visit to the American Museum of Natural History in New York to study spiny mice (genus Acomys) and other mammals. <<>> ( camnccmlima <<>> In September, associate curator Charles O. Handley, Jr., accompanied by D. I. Rhymer of the taxidermy staff, returned for further field work in Lancaster County, Va., supplementing collections that he and L. T. Dymond had made there in the previous May. Continuing for the fourth year his survey of the mammals of Panama in cooperation with the Gorgas Memorial Laboratory, Dr. Handley left Washington on January 12, accompanied by D. I. Rhymer. They arrived at Almirante, Bocas del Toro, on the Caribbean coast of western Panama, on January 15, and for the next 8 weeks collected intensively in that humid coastal region. An excursion was made into the interior up the turbulent Changuinola River. More than 1,600 mammals were collected in Panama, in addition to birds, reptiles, and other animals. On the invitation of the Venezuelan Ministry of Agriculture, Dr. Handley and Mr. Rhymer spent the period from March 17 to April 11 at the Parque Nacional Rancho Grande, in the coast range west of Caracas, Venezuela. This visit, designed to initiate a survey of the mammals of Venezuela, resulted in a valuable collection of about 64 species and 800 specimens of mammals. Birds.—Head curator Herbert Friedmann read page proofs of his monograph on the parasitic weaverbirds, being published as a bulletin of the Museum. With A. L. Rand and M. A. Traylor he published an extensive study of the birds of Gabon; he also presented as a vice-presidential address to section F of the American Association <<>> Lions and zebras face each other in the new mammal hall. Background in each case periodically lights up to remind viewer that in life one is hunter, the other hunted. for the Advancement of Science a survey of current changes in the environment of zoological research. ‘Together with his colleagues, Dr. 8. J. Ajl and M. Papa, he completed a study of the interference phenomenon between the wax-splitting bacterium from the honeyguides and the bacillus of tuberculosis. In his study of the hostparasite relations of the cowbirds, he brought his manuscript to 80 percent of completion, and, with D. E. Davis and T. S. Bober, he started a study of the possible endocrine basis of parasitic breeding in these birds. His studies on the nature of the wax-splitting enzyme produced by the bacterium from the honey-guides was also advanced during the year. Associate curator Herbert G. Deignan read the page proofs of his study of the types of birds in the national collection and completed the manuscript of a checklist of the birds of Thailand. B. R. Femstein, museum aide, continued his studies of the auks of the North Pacific, working on the least and crested auklets. Dr. Alexander Wetmore, research associate and former Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, resumed his field studies in Panama from January to April and continued study of his Panamanian and Colombian collections. Atthe American Ornithologists’ Union meeting, in Regina, he received the Union’s Brewster Award and Medal. <<>> Reptiles and amphibians.—Curator Doris M. Cochran read the page proofs of her critical catalog of the reptilian and amphibian types in the U.S. National Museum; this paper lists 1,742 names of types, with current synonymy. In collaboration with Dr. C. J. Goin of the University of Florida she continued her studies of Colombian frogs. Fishes.—Curator Leonard P. Schultz published a research report on the generic status of the South American characid fishes Mimagoniates and Glandulocauda and another on a review of the pompadour, or discus fishes, genus Symphysodon of South America. Volume 2 of the ‘Fishes of the Marshall and Marianas Islands” by Schultz, Chapman, Lachner, and Woods, also appeared during the year. Two other research projects by Dr. Schultz are completed but not published. A study of silver hatchetfishes of the Western Atlantic, undertaken as a cooperative project to be included in a forthcoming volume, ‘‘Fishes of the Western Atlantic,” gives descriptions, illustrations, and frequency distributions of counts for the identification of the three genera and eleven species of this group, along with their ecology. Dr. Schultz and associate curator Ernest A. Lachner continued the final manuscript revisions of volume 3 of “Fishes of the Marshall and Marianas Islands,’ undertaken in conjunction with the atom bomb experiments. This extensive and basic ichthyological work has occupied nearly all of the research time of Dr. Lachner this year. Another cooperative project, this one initiated by the American Fisheries Society, was the preparation by R. M. Bailey, E. A. Lachner, C. C. Lindsey, C. R. Robins, P. M. Roedel, W. B. Scott, and L. P. Woods of a list of common and scientific names of fishes from the United States and Canada. Intended to promote stability of common names of American fishes, it was published in May 1960. Dr. Lachner and associate curator William R. Taylor completed a short paper describing a new cardinal fish of the genus Archamaa, from Northern Australia. Another paper was completed in cooperation with E. E. Deubler, Jr. Under preparation by Dr. Lachner are studies of the Gobiidae, Eleotridae, and Taenioididae, and he is well along in his reviews of the diskfishes, order Echeneiformes, and revisions of the cardinal fishes, family Apogonidae, and the goatfishes, family Mullidae. Dr. Taylor has two research projects under way. His study of the fishes of the Arnhem Land Expedition, 1948, about 55 percent completed, discusses the fishes of a faunal area little known at present. His revision of the North American catfishes, genus Noturus, with an analysis of the higher groups in the family Ictaluridae, will be the first comprehensive study of the genus since 1877. <<>> Dr. Taylor and Robert H. Kanazawa, museum aide, made a field trip from August 26 to September 5 to collect fishes in the Tennessee and adjoining river systems in Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. On another trip from September 16 to 20 in the Neuse and Tar River systems of North Carolina the collectors obtained rare species of catfishes of the genus Noturus. Mr. Kanazawa completed two papers, both describing new species of eels, has almost finished two others, and has begun a revision of the eels of the family Congridae. Insects.—Curator J. F. Gates Clarke, as a member of the 1960 Smithsonian-Bredin Expedition during part of March and April, participated in the exploration of the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. Although collecting was not rich, numerous new forms were discovered and many new records were obtained. His faunal study of the Microlepidoptera of the Juan Fernandez Islands, now completed, has revealed the multiple origins of the fauna and has shown a high degree of endemicity in the islands. His work on the Meyrich types of Microlepidoptera, a continuing project, has resulted in the completion of volume IV, part of the galley proof now being on hand; volume V is 75 percent complete. Several small projects, primarily descriptions of new species, are in progress. In December Dr. Clarke was elected President of the Entomological Society of Washington. Associate curator Oscar L. Cartwright is continuing his studies of the scarab beetles of the genera Ataenius and Onthophagus. The species of both of these genera are suspected of, or have been reported as, being intermediate hosts of parasites of domestic and other animals. No adequate or comprehensive paper dealing with these beetles exists, and Mr. Cartwright’s work will contribute much to knowledge of the taxonomy, zoogeography, and biology of them. The enormous amount of material examined and identified is reflected in the 7,506 specimens of beetles determined by him during the fiscal year. In August Mr. Cartwright made field observations and collections along the northern Virginia coast. Associate curator Ralph E. Crabill, Jr., visited the Museum of Comparative Zoology to examine typical and ordinary specimens of myriapods held by that institution, and to discuss problems of mutual interest with colleagues. While in the vicinity of Cambridge, he engaged in local collecting to obtain topotypical specimens and to enlarge our series of certain species. On March 28 he departed with Dr. Richard L. Hoffman for an extended study trip to European museums, a tour of duty that will embrace studies of Myriapoda in London, Copenhagen, Lund, Hamburg, Frankfort, Munich, Vienna, Geneva, and Paris. <<>> Associate curator William D. Field is continuing his studies in the Lycaenidae, with particular reference to the difficult genus Thecla. Studies being conducted concurrently are a revision ot the genus Vanessa, covering the world fauna, and a revision of the amatid moths of the genus Ceramidia, harmful to bananas. The latter study is of particular interest in facilitating the ready identification of these moths, which are of considerable economic importance in Central America. Miss Sophy Parfin, assistant curator, is continuing her studies of the immature stages of Nigronia serricorna (Neuroptera). This is significant because no life history of any of these fish flies has been described. Miss Parfin is also engaged in a study of the bionomics of ant-lions, for which no adequate papers dealing with their life histories and identification are available. A revision of the Nearctic Ascalaphidae is also in progress. Marine invertebrates.—The curator, Dr. Fenner A. Chace, Jr., has continued the study of the stomatopod and non-brachyuran decapod crustaceans of Clipperton Island in the eastern Pacific. Associate curator Frederick M. Bayer, who devoted a major part of his time to the rearrangement of the collections in order to find space for material recently received and identified, corrected proofs of his paper on the Octocorallia of the West Indian region, and studied material from the British Museum (Natural History) and the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Associate curator Thomas E. Bowman completed the description of a new isopod of the genus Lironeca, found in the gill chambers of the Hawaiian moray eel, and completed in collaboration with Juan G. Gonzales of the University of Puerto Rico the descriptions of four new species of the copepod genus Pseudocyclops from Puerto Rico. He has also made some progress on the completion of a manuscript initiated by the late C. R. Shoemaker on the Pacific American species of the gammarid amphipod genus Synchelidiwm, and, with Z. Kabata of the Marine Laboratory at Aberdeen, Scotland, he is redescribing the holotype of the lernaeopodoid copepod Tracheliastes grandis Wilson and synonymizing that species with Vanbenedenia kroveri Malmgren. Associate curator Charles E. Cutress has completed the description of a new genus and species of sea anemone from New Zealand and has started a report on the sea anemones of the Chatham Islands. J. Perey Moore, research associate, writes that “time passes rapidly when measured in terms of accomplishment, and I realize regretfully on entering my 91st year that it is I who have slowed down.” Dr. Moore however, obviously is not idle. During the year, he continued his study of the leeches of the southern states and completed a review of Eduardo Caballero’s contributions to knowledge <<>> of the leeches of Mexico, to be presented at a meeting honoring that gentleman on his retirement. Mildred 8S. Wilson, research associate, continued to work on the monograph of the North American fresh-water calanoid copepods. During the year, she extracted from the world literature morphological characteristics and distribution summaries of species or species groups occurring in or related to groups in North America. Horton H. Hobbs, Jr., research associate, despite a heavy administrative workload, has completed the description of a new crayfish from Alabama, a paper dealing with the troglobiotic crayfishes of the genus Cambarus, and (with Margaret Walton) two papers on new ostracods of the genus Entocythere from Florida and from Georgia and Tennessee. In addition, he has made progress on manuscripts on Mexican and Cuban ostracods of the genus Entocythere, on Cuban crayfishes (with A. Villalobos), and (with T. C. Barr) on troglobiotic crayfishes of the genus Orconectes. During the year Dr. L. B. Holthuis, of the Natural History Museum of Leiden, began work here on the decapod crustaceans collected during Pacific Science Board surveys of the Caroline Islands, and later he began a revisionary study of the scyllarid lobsters of the world and of the palinurid lobsters of the Indo-Pacific region. The last two projects are portions of current systematic research on the marine fauna of the tropical Pacific, sponsored by the Atomic Energy Commission and the Office of Naval Research. During the year, 21 specialists in other institutions agreed to identify material of various invertebrate groups. Of the 30 shipments, including more than 3,150 specimens, sent to these official and unofficial collaborators, 16, including 177 specimens, have already been returned. The specialists rendering these services and the groups involved are: Dr. E. L. Bousfield: amphipod crusta-| Dr. Meredith Jones: polychaete worms. ceans. Dr. H. 8S. Jones: cumacean crustaceans. Dr. Elisabeth Deichmann: holothu-| Dr. J.G. Mackin: isopod crustaceans. rians. Dr. N. T. Mattox (deceased): conchosDr. Ralph W. Dexter: fairy shrimps. tracan crustaceans. Dr. John 8. Garth: crabs. Mr. Anthony J. Provensano, Jr.: hermit Dr. G. E. Gates: earthworms. crabs. Dr. Olga Hartman: polychaete worms.| Dr. Mary D. Rogick: bryozoans. Dr. Willard D. Hartman: sponges. Dr. Olive 8. Tattersall: mysidacean Mr. Edward Hasbrouck: nematodes. crustaceans. Dr. Joel W. Hedgpeth: pyenogonids. Dr. William Randolph Taylor: algae. Dr. Dora P. Henry: barnacles. Dr. W. Vervoort: copepod crustaceans. Dr. L. H. Hyman: flatworms. Dr. Marvin L. Wass: hermit crabs. Mollusks.—Curator Harald A. Rehder finished his paper on the marine mollusks of Los Roques and Orchila Islands, Venezuela, to be published by the Sociedad de Ciencias Naturales La Salle in Caracas. He also prepared a report, to be published by the Committee on Polar <<>> Research of the National Academy of Sciences, on our present knowledge of the Antarctic and on future research objectives. Progress was made also on a number of smaller research projects. From March 17 to May 7, Dr. Rehder participated in the 1960 SmithsonianBredin Expedition, which concentrated most of its efforts along the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Associate curator Joseph P. E. Morrison continued his studies of the family Melampidae (Ellobiidae) and of certain brackish-water genera of the family Mactridae. In November he spent 3 weeks in the field studying the brackish-water molluscan fauna of the northern shore of the Gulf of Mexico from the Mississippi River delta to Cedar Keys, Fla. In May and June Dr. Morrison spent several weeks on the coasts of Mississippi and North Carolina, primarily to acquire notes and material for planned exhibits in the hall of oceanic life but also to further his research projects. Research by visiting investigators.—The 39th annual meeting of the American Society of Mammalogists was held in the Museum in June 1959, and this brought an unusually large number of visiting scientists to the division of mammals. Among these and other visitors were: A. W. F. Banfield, National Museum of Canada; M. Eisentraut, Stuttgart, Germany; George E. Erikson, Harvard Medical School; Vagn T.

Smith enlarged his studies of the phytogeography of southern Brazil by the preparation of a synopsis of the American Velloziaceae. He continued the study of his 1956-57 collections from the planalto of Santa Catarina and also of further large collections from Padre Raulino Reitz, director of the Herbario Barbosa Rodrigues. Dr. Smith completed the descriptions for his monograph of the Bromeliaceae, bringing the total to over 1,800 species, and commenced the preparation of keys. With Dr. R. J. Downs, of the Department of Agriculture, he prepared a treatment of the Brazilian Xyridaceae. During the past year he visited Harvard University and the New York Botanical Garden to carry on research, and studied live Bromeliaceae in six different gardens in Flotida. In August he presented two papers on South American botany at the [X International Botanical Congress at Montreal. Associate curator E. C. Leonard continued the preparation of a Flora of Hispaniola, revising his manuscript with the help of loans from Harvard University and the New York Botanical Garden. His work on the Acanthaceae was largely in the form of preliminary papers for his floristic treatments. Dr. Velva E. Rudd, associate curator, completed the greater part of a taxonomic revision of American Ormosia. She continued assembling data for a floristic treatment of the papilionate legumes of Mexico. In connection with this project Dr. Rudd studied at the New York Botanical Garden, the Chicago Natural History Museum, the University of California at Los Angeles, the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, the California Academy of Sciences, the University of California at Berkeley, and Stanford University. She gave a paper on Ormosia at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Chicago. Associate curator Richard S. Cowan continued his monographic studies of the genus Swartzia. In connection with his floristic review of the Rutaceae for the Flora of the Guayana Highland he prepared <<>> a paper that included all the new species, new records, and notes based on the remainder of the collections of the family made by Dr. Bassett Maguire and his associates, and he revised his treatment of the Leguminosae of the same region to include recent collections. He presented a paper on the floral morphology of certain Rutaceae at the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Chicago. Associate curator John J. Wurdack, on joining the staff in February, commenced the preparation of a paper on the Melastomataceae for the Flora of Santa Catarina. Dr. Wurdack is also continuing the study of his collections-from the Guayana Highland of northern South America. Grasses.—Head curator Jason R. Swallen continued his studies on the grasses of southern Brazil. Progress consisted of the identification of recent material collected by various botanists and further study of his own collections. Mrs. Agnes Chase, research associate, continued her work on the comprehensive catalog of grass genera and species. Dr. F. A. McClure, research associate, continued his studies of the bamboos with the aid of a grant from the National Science Foundation. Under the title ‘The bamboos—Perspectives on Selected Aspects of the Bambusoideae,” a book-length manuscript of nearly 300 pages, illustrated by 88 figures, many of them original, was delivered to the Maria Moors Cabot Foundation of Harvard University. Its publication in the present calendar year is expected. The text and illustrations of the first part of this manuscript will serve as the basis for an introduction to the revision of the genera of the Bambusoideae currently under preparation for the new edition of Die Natiirlichen Pflanzenfamilien. A key to the 21 genera of bamboos under cultivation in the United States and Puerto Rico was prepared for inclusion in a bulletin on bamboo to be published shortly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Ferns.—Curator C. V. Morton made a study of certain ferns common in cultivation and in the wild that have been known under the generic name Rumohra; the decision was reached that Rumohra is properly considered monotypic, and that most of the ferns referred to it represent a new genus, to which the name Byrsopteris was assigned ; other species represent yet another genus, for which the name Polystichopsis is available. He continued with his studies on the type specimens of ferns, publishing papers during the year on Alsophila, Thelypteris, Blechnum, and Pleurosorus. He began also a study of the ferns of Cuba, for eventual publication in the Flora of Cuba by Leén and Alain. He spent some time in the study of phanerogams, especially in preparing a synopsis of the genus Solanum in Argentina and in work on the genus Columnea, of the Gesneriaceae. <<>> In August, Mr. Morton spent 16 days in field work in boreal Canada, visiting the spruce forest of Quebec and Ontario and the subarctic regions around James Bay. Botanical collections, numbering 1,395 specimens, were made for the Museum. In September, he spent two weeks in the high Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, where additional botanical collections, not yet accessioned, were made. Cryptogams.— Acting curator Mason E. Hale continued work on a monographie revision of the lichen genus Parmelia in the Western Hemisphere. A majority of the available type specimens from tropical America were examined, Standley’s Central American material was annotated, and a complete index of all taxa described from the Americas was prepared. Dr. Hale spent five weeks in March and April collecting Parmelia specimens in southern Mexico, an area especially rich in this genus. Another trip was made to the Farlow Herbarium of Harvard University for library and herbarium studies. Work continued on the long term project of writing a lichen flora of the eastern United States. Dr. Hale completed the manuscript for an introductory text in lichenology, which will be published by the Smithsonian Institution. At the LX International Botanical Congress at Montreal, Dr. Hale delivered a paper on “Systematics of the Parmelia trichotera Group in North America.” Associate curator Paul Conger carried forward work on research projects in progress, including a study of the diatoms of Chincoteague Bay, a revision of the genus Grammatophora, and an analysis of diatom samples of the British, Australian, and New Zealand Antarctic Expedition. He also completed analysis of samples of diatoms from four small lakes at the head of Ungava Bay, Canada, which contained over 400 species. This information will eventually be assembled with pertinent ecological data into a floristic list of the diatoms of this interesting area. Assistant curator Robert R. Ireland continued his studies of the moss flora of Virginia. Two field trips were made to the Shenandoah National Park. He completed a manuscript on the distribution of Pogonatum alpinum, an arctic-alpine moss occurring in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Research by visiting investigators.—Dr. José Cuatrecasas continued his research on the flora of Colombia under a grant from the National Science Foundation. He has been working on a revision of the Colombian Compositae, a group of approximately 800 species. Padre Luis Camargo revised the Colombian species of Berberis under a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation. Dr. Kittie F. Parker continued her research on the western flora, especially Compositae. Dr. Oscar Tovar, of the University of San Marcos, Lima, Peru, has been working at the herbarium since September on <<>> the grasses of the Central Andes, under a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation. Joyce W. Vickery, of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney, Australia, spent two weeks in September identifying grasses which are introduced in Australia. Dennis Anderson, of the Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, spent a week during July studying the specimens of Phalaris in preparation of a revision of the genus. Tuguo Tateoka, National Institute of Genetics, Misima, Japan, and Taka Tateoka spent two weeks in February gathering material for cytological study at the Institut Botanique, Montreal. Others who have visited the department, usually to consult the collections of the National Herbarium in connection with their research projects, were: Rogers MeVaugh and John I. Mickel, University of Michigan; Robert E. Woodson, Jr., Missouri Botanical Garden; Thomas R. Soderstrom, Yale University; Peter Raven, University of California at Los Angeles; Clair W.

Other Government departments, particularly the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture, continued to use the <<>> National Herbarium in connection with the work of their staff members. Geology Mr. Lawrence B. Isham, illustrator for the department, continued his outstanding services to the staff geologists by preparing numerous drawings, plates, and labels. Mineralogy and petrology.—Curator George Switzer completed his annual review of the diamond industry, and with Roy 8. Clarke, Jr., completed work on a reexamination of the rare mineral hambergite. In addition, he continued his studies on a long-term research project dealing with the sulfates and related minerals. In August Dr. Switzer examined major mineral collections in England, France, and Austria. During the year he addressed mineralogical societies in Des Moines, Towa, and Detroit, Mich. Associate curator Paul E. Desautels completed descriptions of unusual multiform fluorite crystals and of the rare mineral legrandite, both from Mexico, and continued work on a mineralized vein at Centreville, Va., and on the lead oxychloride minerals of Laurium, Greece. In early June he traveled to southern Ilhnois and Kentucky, visiting mines in these areas in order to study mineral occurrences and obtain specimens. Roy S. Clarke, Jr., chemist in the division, completed an analysis of the only tektite known from Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., and analyses of the rare mineral hambergite from California and Madagascar and of legrandite from Mexico. He is continuing work on a long-range study of the solubility of calcium borate minerals. Associate curator E. P. Henderson completed articles on tektites and meteorites for the McGraw-Hill ‘Encyclopedia of Science and Technology.” In addition, he continued work on several long-term projects, including a study of hexahedrites and metallic inclusions in iron meteorites. Accompanied by Grover Moreland, head of the museum lapidary shop, Mr. Henderson visited the Battelle Metallurgical Laboratory in Columbus, Ohio, to study sectioning techniques applied to meteorites. Between the end of January and the middle of June Mr. Henderson made an extended trip around the world in pursuance of his studies of meteorites and tektites. Nearly two months were spent in Manila, Philippine Islands, studying the tektite collection of Dr. H. Otley Beyer, perhaps the largest such privately owned collection in the world. Subsequently, Mr. Henderson visited 15 institutions in 10 different countries of Asia and Europe; these visits put him in touch with many specialists on meteorites and tektites and strengthened cooperative relationships between their institutions and the Museum. <<>> Patewntolngy i+ the sebeatlfie weds, throwgh femalle of he Mite af geshugiral period. By * Mural at the entrance of the new hall of fossil fishes and amphibians compares graphically the age of man with the vastness of geologic time. Vertebrate paleontology.—Curator C. Lewis Gazin has continued his investigation of the lower Eocene mammalian faunas of the Knight formation. For the various faunas involved he has completed study of materials representing 7 of the 13 orders of mammals then extant, including the highly diversified insectivores, primates, rodents, and carnivores. The Knight investigation is supplemental to an earlier report published in 1952 and is based on later, more extensive collections from a variety of localities representing successive horizons in the lower Eocene, the earliest of which had not been reported previously from southwestern Wyoming. Dr. Gazin completed a study of the relationships of Apheliscus and Phenacodaptes, genera of Eocene and Paleocene mammals that he has demonstrated belong in the same phyletic line and are related to the pantolestid insectivores. 563136—60——6 <<>> Fieldwork by Dr. Gazin, assisted by Franklin L. Pearce, chief of the laboratory of vertebrate paleontology, was carried on in the Eocene of southwestern Wyoming during the summer of 1959. >> INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH Ha Although heavily occupied with matters pertaining to the preparation and installation of fossil fish, amphibian, and reptile exhibits, associate curator David H. Dunkle made excellent progress in his continuing study on the Mesozoic origins of living orders of ray-finned fishes. With the help of interne David Schulz and museum aide John Gassaway, a number of skulls of amioid and pycnodontid fishes from the Fossil fishes from the Age of Reptiles (left) and others from the Age of Mammals (right). This hall is the first to be completed of the five paleontology halls now undergoing reconstruction. Jurassic of Cuba were sectioned serially, enlarged projections drawn, and two wax reproductions completed. In addition, through courtesies extended by the American Museum of Natural History, photoeraphs of two rare specimens of a marine Jurassic amiid, Liodesmus, were obtained from Germany, permitting completion of a report on a related fish from the upper Cretaceous of North America. The preparation, drawing, and study of three specimens of a lower Cretaceous elopid fish from Texas were also pursued to an advanced stage of development for publication. This material, originally submitted for examination by Texas Christian University, marks the oldest recognized member of the tarpon family from the United States. Associate curator Nicholas Hotton mr began the study of fossil amphibian and reptile material collected in Permian beds of Kansas that have hitherto been thought nearly barren of vertebrate fossils. <<>> The fauna appears to be almost entirely new, and Dr. Hotton and museum aide John Gassaway made a field trip in May and June to collect more of this material and to try to trace vertebrate-bearing strata into the better known and more productive beds of Oklahoma and Texas. >> both large groups. Included are about 160 species. Head curator G. A. Cooper is describing the Productoidea, the largest single group in the collection. He has described about 60 species and has amassed over 400 pages of manuscript. The number of species described thus far by Cooper and Grant, 220 species, is estimated at not quite half the total represented in this prolific fauna. These fossil triassic amphibians, Buettneria perfecta, were probably trapped in a pool that dried up some 175 million years ago. In July, Drs. Cooper and Grant went to the Glass Mountains of Texas and there met Messrs. John Skinner and Garner Wilde of the Humble Oil Company, Drs. Charles and J. P. Ross from Yale University, Mr. Richard Moyle from the University of Iowa, and others for a field conference on the stratigraphy of the Glass Mountains. About a week was spent in the region, primarily studying and arguing about difficult problems. Collections were made at a few new localities. After the conference Cooper and Grant visited a Permian locality in the Chinati Mountains and then went to Van Horn, Tex., where they were joined by Dr. Francis G. Stehli from the Pan American Petroleum Company. North of Van Horn the party collected fossils <<>> on the old Corn Ranch at the foot of the Sierra Diablo near Victorio Peak, a region from which all parties had been barred for years. But Mr. Coates, foreman of the ranch, kindly helped in many ways, especially by the loan of a jeep to get large blocks out of the rough country. Over 30 blocks were collected at this locality and then the party moved on to the Guadalupe Mountains, where blocks were taken at a few places. The last stop of the trip was at White City and the Carlsbad Caverns, where collections were made from the Capitan limestone at several places. In early August the party returned to Washington. In the first week of May, Drs. Cooper and Grant visited a few collecting places for Pennsylvanian fossils in the vicinity of Jacksboro, Tex., as an incident to the packing for the Museum of portions of the Renfro fossil collection. Associate curator Richard S. Boardman completed his revision of the Ordovician bryozoan genera Batostoma, Anaphragma and Amplexopora, a paper which redefines these genera on the basis of new thin sections of the type species, supplemented by a restudy of all related species in the Museum collections. He has started a study and revision of the Paleozoic trepostomatous bryozoans. This will involve resectioning all types and the study of additional species. A third project, on the rhomboporoid Bryozoa of the Hamilton group of New York, is farther advanced. It involves about 15 species and will require the sectioning of many specimens and the restudy of all described material. Dr. Boardman left in June for Great Britain, Norway, and Sweden, where he will study and collect from Ordovician and Silurian rocks. Although primarily interested in bryozoans, he expects to collect many other types of fossils, especially corals on the Island of Gotland, Sweden. Associate curator Porter M. Kier reports considerable progress on his monograph of the cassiduloid echinoids. His visit to Europe in June will provide the information on type specimens needed to bring this work to completion. During the year Dr. Kier spent many hours laboriously cleaning the amazing echinoids from the Mississippian of Belgium loaned by the Abbey at Maredsous, and from other places such as Harvard University and the University of Liége. These echinoids are amazing for their large size, some of them being a foot, or nearly so, in diameter. He cleans them by grinding away the hard black limestone in which they are enclosed. The echinoid ossicles are white, and consequently, except for the time involved, it is not difficult to separate echinoid and limestone. Dr. Kier also extended a project on the Ocala limestone echinoids collected in Florida, a study just getting underway. In October Dr. Kier joined Dr. Norman Sohl, of the U.S. Geological <<>> Survey, on a collecting trip along the Chattahoochee River in Alabama. The river is being dammed and many collecting localities will be lost to science by submergence. More than 1,800 specimens of fossil echinoids were collected. During the year he made several other trips to study echinoids: to Philadelphia with Mr. Henry B. Roberts to the Wagner Free Institute of Science and the Academy of Natural Sciences, to the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard, and to the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Associate curator Richard Cifelli is working on three projects. The first is an examination of Streblus becacarrii (Linné) to make sure of the internal structure, which has been misinterpreted, and to determine the morphological limits of the species. He is using thin sections and will construct clay models in order to interpret the structure. Another of his projects is a study of the seasonal variation of pelagic Foraminifera between Woods Hole and Bermuda. Plankton hauls are being taken from 15 stations once each season along a traverse from Woods Hole to Bermuda, the species identified, the number of specimens of each species counted, and the distributions of species plotted and compared with oceanic data made available by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Dr. Cifelli’s third project is a study, just developing, of the Foraminifera from the Stockade Beaver shale (upper Jurassic) from the western interior of the United States. In connection with the plankton project, he collected samples of pelagic Foraminifera on a cruise out of Woods Hole to Bermuda in August. In June he joined Dr. Ralph Imlay, of the U.S. Geological Survey, to collect Jurassic Foraminifera in Idaho and Colorado. Erle G. Kauffman joined the staff as assistant curator June 15, 1960. He has in progress research on Cretaceous pelecypods. Museum aide Henry B. Roberts made a study of the fossil decapod crustaceans from the Marshall Islands, a project of particular interest because it is the first report of such fossils in the area. Another project is to describe the new species of fossil crabs in the collections of the Museum. For several years Geological Survey parties have brought in fossil crabs, and specimens have also been obtained from other sources. Some fine new species appear in the collections which Mr. Roberts is planning to describe. In this connection he visited Philadelphia in January to study fossil crabs at the Academy of Natural Sciences. Research associate C. Wythe Cooke is continuing his studies on the Mesozoic and Tertiary Echinoidea, and Dr. R. S. Bassler, research associate, is continuing his study of leperditiid ostracodes, which should soon be completed. Dr. Arthur J. Boucot was appointed research associate in May for eight months while collecting and studying in Kurope. <<>> Research by visiting investigators.—Among those utilizing the materials in vertebrate paleontology were: Barry Cox, King’s College, London; Yota Haneda, Yokosuka City Museum, Kurihama, Japan; R.

Museum of History and Technology Research of staff members of the Museum of History and Technology is necessarily focused on areas that contribute to the development of exhibits for the new building. Nevertheless research projects that will lead to publication are in progress, and reports of a number that have been completed are published in Bulletin 218, ‘‘Contributions from the Museum of History and Technology, Papers 1-11” (for a full list of the subjects treated, see p. 97). Science and Technology Physical sciences.—Dr. Robert P. Multhauf, head curator, completed for publication research projects on the development of scientific instruments for the recording of meteorological data and for oceanographic sounding. He is continuing work on similar projects concerning the development of chemistry and electrochemistry. Dr. <<>> Multhauf read a paper on the research museum of physical science at the annual meeting of the American Association of Museums in May. His paper on mine pumping in Agricola’s time and after was published as part of Museum Bulletin 218. He continues to serve on the councils of the History of Science Society and the Society for the History of Technology. Mechanical and civil engineering.—Curator Kugene S. Ferguson completed his history of kinematics of mechanism, a study in which the academic and practical approach to the problems of mechanism design are traced from the time of James Watt, in the late 18th century, to the modern period. A summary of the results of the study was presented as a paper before the annual meeting of the American Society for Engineering Education. His paper on John Ericsson is in press. He is now engaged in the preparation of a book-length study of American technology in the 19th century. Mr. Ferguson continues to serve as a member of the museum committee of the Society for the History of Technology. Edwin A. Battison, associate curator, is continuing his studies of the development of the low-cost watch in this country. His paper on the Auburndale Watch Company was published as part of Museum Bulletin 218. He was re-elected to the museum committee of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, of which he is a fellow. A study of the development of subaqueous bridge foundations, completed by associate curator Robert M. Vogel, outlines historically the various means employed to effect a solid bearing in water for bridge works. There was previously no comprehensive account of this important subject. Mr. Vogel is now engaged in a study of the documentation of historic bridges. His study of the elevator systems of the Eiffel Tower is in press. Transportation.—The needs of new model construction have made desirable a continuous research program combined with the preparation of scaled plans. Curator Howard I. Chapelle read page proofs of his catalog of the watercraft collection and completed articles on Chesapeake Bay bugeye, the New Haven Sharpie-type boat, and several shorter pieces. His paper on the original steamship Savannah is scheduled for publication by the Museum. He was designated advisor to the United States delegation to the Third Caribbean Fisheries Seminar at St. Martin, Netherlands Antilles, July 3 to 8, 1959, by the Department of State, and has been appoimted a member of the advisory committee of the Maritime Museum of Canada, Halifax, Nova Scotia. John H. White, Jr., assistant curator, has in progress an interesting study of the activities of the early mid-western locomotive builders, <<>> a subject yet to be fully explored, and another on the Bissell safety truck for locomotives. He is also engaged in studies of two historic railroad subjects: the College Hill Railroad (Cincinnati) and President Lincoln’s private railroad car. Electricity.— Acting curator W. James King completed three of five sections of his detailed monograph on the development of electrical technology in the 19th century. They are scheduled for publication by the Museum. He is engaged in organizing for research use the extensive Clark collection of radio materials received this year. Medical sciences.—Dr. John B. Blake, curator, saw his book “Public Health in the Town of Boston, 1630-1822”; through the final stages of publication by the Harvard University Press. He has continued research in dental history, particularly with a view to improved documentation of study and exhibit specimens in the collections, and is working on a study of public health in the United States in the period 1900-1950. In April and May Dr. Blake studied collections and exhibit techniques in the major medical-historical museums of western Kurope. He continues to serve as secretary-treasurer of the American Association for the History of Medicine. Associate curator Sami K. Hamarneh, who joined the staff on September 24, 1959, has continued his studies on Abu-al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (Abulcasis), one of the outstanding physicians of the Arabic period, with particular reference to pharmaceutical aspects of his writings. His paper on al-Zahrawi’s surgical treatise is being published by the Museum. Research by outside investigators.—Many persons visit the marine transportation section, including staff members of the National Geographic Society with regard to ship pictures, plans, descriptions, and details. Victor Searcher consulted the section of land transportation in connection with his study of President Lincoln’s inaugural journey. Among other visitors who consulted the collections of the department of science and technology were the following: F. G. Williams and C. E. Smart, Gurley Instrument Co., Troy, N.Y.; John Kusner, Washington, D.C.; G. R. Thompson and Paul Scheips, U.S. Army Signal Corps, Historical Section; and John N. Blythe, U.S. Navy Hydrographic Office. Arts and Manufactures Textiles.— Acting curator Grace L. Rogers continued her investigation of the samplers in the Museum collection in preparation for a history and catalog. Her paper on the Scholfield carding machine appeared in Museum Bulletin 218, and her history of the sewing machine is being reviewed in preparation for publication by the <<>> Museum. In July 1959 Miss Rogers became echibonten adviser of the Encyclopedia Britannica for textiles. Junior curator Nancy Vaughan initiated research into early machine-made nets. Although net laces were made by machine as early as the late 18th century, relatively little published information on this subject is available. In general works on lace, costume, and decorative textiles, no distinction is made between the early types and the more common mid-19th century machine-made nets. Sewing machine exhibit, prepared for hall of textiles in new Museum of History and Technology, is temporarily displayed in Arts and Industries building. Mr. Milton Eisler, who began work as a physical science technician in the division’s textile laboratory in March, is engaged in extensive research into the cleaning and preservation of all types of textile materials, including such subjects as stabilizing fragile fabrics for safe handling, developing safe cleaning techniques for each of the various natural fibers, investigating methods of accelerated aging to determine the effects of present techniques, and identifying adhesives appropriate to mounting fragile textiles. Ceramics and glass.—Several research projects in progress by acting curator Paul V. Gardner are: studies of Minton pate-sur-pate in the Alfred Duane Pell collection; the Charles X Sévres Porcelain Cabinet; Ador, court goldsmith to Snidkanine the Great; and English 18th-century enamels, renaissance jewelry, and ancient glass in the John Gellatly collection. Mr. Gardner spent from January 11 to February 26 in Europe as a consultant for the Department of State and in pursuing his research projects. In connection with his official <<>> assignment he carried out an inventory of the Embassy residence in Prague, Czechoslovakia, that involved about 1,200 items of ceramics, glass, and other decorative art objects. In addition, a number of museums and factories in Czechoslovakia, Austria, Italy, Germany, Holland, France, and England were visited to examine unusual specimens and methodologies in the manufacture of glass and ceramics. Graphic arts.—An article by curator Jacob Kainen, ‘‘Why Bewick Succeeded, a Note in the History of Wood Engraving,” appeared in Museum Bulletin 218, ‘Contributions from the Mu- Patent models of Greenough, Bean, and Corliss, 1842-43, part of a threedimensional history of the early development of the sewing machine. The first American sewing machines to receive patents continued in the tradition of trying to imitate the familiar operation of hand sewing. About a decade earlier Walter Hunt had touched upon the solution to practical machine sewing with his lock stitch, but he failed to exploit his invention and the idea went unnoticed. <<>> seum of History and Technology.” His monograph of John Baptist Jackson (1700?-1780?), an English artist who pioneered in color printing from wood blocks, is in press. Mr. Kainen’s work on the Dutch engraver Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617) continued, its main purpose being to examine some phases of Goltzius’ style. Alexander J. Wedderburn, associate curator, now resigned, continued research on his study of Henry Fitz, Jr., who may have made daguerreotype portraits as early as 1839; some such portraits are included in the national collection.

Griffith is in the final stages of his study and illustrated catalog of the lithographs of Childe Hassam (1859— 1935), which have been unwarrantably neglected, although they probably constitute his most original body of work. This catalog will be the first to be prepared on the lithographs of this well-known American artist. Industrial cooperation.—Head curator Philip W. Bishop completed his contribution to ‘Histoire Générale des Techniques,” to be published in 1960 or 1961, by Presses Universitaires de France and he continued his research on the history of the development of manu- Below: Embroiderers, button holers, bobbin winders, tuckers, and other special attachments began to appear in the early 1850's. Two early sewing machine motors and a fan attachment to keep the seamstress cool (right) are also exhibited. Opposite: High cost of machines produced by the Sewing Machine Combination led to development of less expensive hand machines. These and the other exhibits in the series are based on research done for a history and catalog, now in preparation, of the sewing machine collection.

His paper on the beginnings of cheap steel was published in Museum Bulletin 218. He is collaborating with Burton Faust, of the U.S. Patent Office, in connection with researches into the history of saltpetre mining and processing in the United States, and with Lawrence A. Johnson, of Syracuse, N.Y., who is exploring the history of the tools used in the preparation and cutting of the sugar loaf. Dr. Charles O. Houston, Jr., associate curator, has begun preparation of a definitive chronology of innovation in the coal industry. Agriculture and forest products.—Acting curator E. C. Kendall presented a paper on 18th-century American plows and their European origins at a meeting of the Agricultural History Society in Louisville, Ky. The study is based on the Museum’s collection of Machines manufactured by licensed companies were very high-priced because of the = 1 rovalty on cach machine.

Included in the paper is information on plows obtained from study of the actual implements in the course of a trip through western Europe several years ago. His paper on John Deere’s steel plow was published in Museum Bulletin 218. Research by visiting investigators.—Visitors who utilized the materials of the department of arts and manufactures in connection with research projects included: John Russell, art critic for the London Times; J. 8. G. Simmons, Oxford University Press; Gordon Hendricks, New York City; and Lawrence J. Riley, K & W Film Service Corporation. Civil History Substantial progress was made in research projects during the year by members of the department staff. Head curator Anthony N. B. Garvan completed three comparatively brief projects. A paper on his explorations of the theoretical impact of the camera and the calculating machine upon historical analysis was presented to the National Microfilm Association in April 1960, and is to be printed in the proceedings of the Association under the title, ‘‘Primitive Tools of Scientific Historical Analysis.” In a study that analyzes parallel symbols in furniture, painting, architecture, sculpture, coinage, and ceramics of the New England Puritans, some effort is made to compare the cause of the decline with that in a similar movement, i.e., 12th century Cistercian architecture. It is to be published in “Comparative Studies in Society and History” in October 1960. And in a study of the relation of cultural attitudes to landscape, paintings and photographs are given as evidence of the cultural limitations to American vision and ecological adaptation. This study will be published in 1960. In addition, the head curator carried on the directorship of the Index of American Cultures. The second culture, Philadelphia, 1725 to 1775, was approximately 40 percent completed by the end of the year. This project is creating a file of historical materials drawn from historically valid original documents, together with photographs of objects produced in the culture area during the chronological period noted. In its compilation the techniques of the Human Relations Area File are being applied. Late in spring the Human Relations Area File was acquired for research use by the Smithsonian Institution staff, and has been placed temporarily under the supervision of the head curator. Peter C. Welsh, associate curator, has completed a study of the Brandywine, an early flour milling center. This study establishes Wilmington not only as a flour milling center but also as an industrial <<>> town in the late 18th century. He also undertook research on the manufacture of leather between 1850 and 1900, investigating the mechanization of the leather industry to determine if possible why tanning lagged so far behind other industry in the application of machinery to production. A somewhat different study of an important early national symbol—Major Jack Downing in political caricature—was undertaken in spring of 1960. Arlene Krimgold, junior curator, completed a study of the Muslim Institution of Waqf. She also began a study of native American flora and fauna adapted for European use during the early 17th century. Political history.—Dr. Wilcomb E. Washburn, curator, continued his editorial annotation of all significant documents bearing on Bacon’s Rebellion in Virginia in 1676 and 1677. His paper on the effect of Bacon’s rebellion on the legislative, executive, and judicial relationships between England and the colony of Virginia is scheduled for publication by the Museum. A larger long-range project is his investigation of the legal and moral justification for the dispossessing of the Indians. He is analyzing the arguments of the English for American expansion in North America and the consequences of the dispossession of the Indians. More recently, Dr. Washburn has undertaken an investigation of the technique of American political campaigns, making an effort to correlate campaign techniques and descriptions of campaigns by contestants. Associate curator Margaret B. Klapthor completed her catalog of presentation silver in the Museum and continued work on her catalog of the White House china in the collection. Charles G. Dorman, assistant curator, continued preparation of his catalogs of the George Washington relics and of the Ralph E. Becker collection of Americana, part of which was recently received as a gift and part as a loan. Assistant curator Anne W. Murray carried on the compilation of her catalog of the John Brenton Copp collection and also of her descriptive catalog of the Museum’s collection of Quaker costumes and accessories. Emily M. Ross, junior curator, continued the work begun by museum aide James Channing on the Gustavus Vasa Fox catalog. In addition she commenced a study of General John A. Halderman, first U.S. Minister Resident and Consul General to Siam between 1880 and 1885. Cultural history.—Acting curator C. Malcolm Watkins continued his study of the colonial ceramics of Jamestown, Va., and other sites. This study is an important work because it will throw great light on the ceramics used in the colonies through trade and local craftsmanship. He also completed his portion of the Marlborough investigation 563136—60-——7 <<>> and finished his report on the artifacts found at the site of the now vanished town in Stafford County. His paper on 17th-century North Devon pottery is in press. John Shortridge, associate curator, continued his catalog of the musical collection and his study of the mechanics of harpsichord plucking action. His study of Italian harpsichord building is in press, with publication scheduled for 1960. Mr. Shortridge initiated a series of musical programs in which the playing of ancient musical instruments in the collection was demonstrated by volunteer musicians. The first program, June 30, 1959, was devoted to 15th century classical and instrumental music for recorders, viols, and a portative organ. Following this initial success, a program on January 18 presented a repertoire of 17th-century music featuring three recently restored keyboard instruments. Another, on March 1, featured chamber music of the 18th century and used a onekeyed flute by Grenser of Dresden, about 1770, a viola d’amore by Georg Aman of Augsburg, 1704, and a restored harpsichord dated 1694. Associate curator Rodris Roth read proof on her paper dealing with tea drinking in 18th-century America. She continued work on her study of American household floor coverings of that period; evidence is being gathered from prints, paintings, newspapers, diaries, and other accounts of the period in order to establish a more precise interpretation. She has also undertaken a study of fireplace equipment used in 18th-century America. Assistant curator John N. Pearce undertook an account of an unpublished Seymour desk and in addition is bringing to conclusion his study of two-handled paneled bowls in New York, a study which he had begun at Winterthur Museum in 1957. For the Encylopedia of World Art, Mr. Pearce has engaged to write on cities of the United States an article that describes in a brief and systematic fashion the major American centers with notes on their topographical and historical features and monuments. The report of research associate Ivor Noel Hume on the excavations at Rosewell in Gloucester County, Va., was accepted for publication by the Museum. It deals with an archeologically controlled excavation of the site involving laboratory analysis and restoration of artifacts, and contains descriptions of artifacts, with photographs and reconstruction drawings, and drawings of maps of excavations. Philately and postal history.—Acting curator George T. Turner continued his research on revenue stamps of the United States and his investigation of John W. Klein, the man who published the first philatelic work in America. He gave several talks during the year on the Museum stamp collection and on various aspects of philately. <<>> Francis J. McCall, associate curator, continued his analysis of the postal history of the Federation of Malaya and his study of the Sandwich Islands mail between 1820 and 1875, basing most of this study on the file of original mission correspondence between individuals in the Hawaiian Islands and on the mainland, now in the Houghton Library, Harvard University. Assistant curator Carl H. Scheele began an investigation of the ownership, operation, and contracts of the Pony Express in the years 1860 and 1861. Numismatics.—Acting curator Vladimir Clain-Stefanelli completed a brief survey of United States gold coins based on the Museum’s collection. He continued work on his biographical dictionary of American medalists and engravers and his study of the ancient coins of northern Greece. Mrs. Elvira Clain-Stefanelli, associate curator, continued her study of Italian coins of the 19th and 20th century and gold coins of the world since 1800. An article on the coinages of Germany and the German States was prepared for a special publication to include over 380 types. An historical account will center on the financial aspects of modern gold coinages. Her study of the tetartemorion of Rhegium, an unpublished denomination, proved this to be an important link for establishing a clear picture of the output of small denominations in Rhegium during the 5th century, B.C. >> Museum Bulletin 225. A second study on the Steiffel paintings has been accepted for publication by American Heritage. Mr. Howell also completed, in conjunction with Lt. Col. J. Duncan Campbell, consultant to the department, the draft of a comprehensive, descriptive and critical catalog of American military insignia in the national collections. Mr. Howell completed research and initiated writing of a paper on the war paintings of Harvey Dunn. This is the first of a series to be prepared on the official combat artists of World War I. In conjunction with Lt. Col. Campbell he initiated archeological investigation of three War of 1812 fort sites at Sackets Harbor, N.Y. A number of significant specimens were recovered and comprehensive plans were made for continuing investigation. Assistant curator Craddock R. Goins, Jr., in conjunction with his preparation of the script for the hall of ordnance, added considerable data to the file he is compiling for a catalog of the arms collection. These data include patent papers and abstracts of documents from the records of the Chief of Ordnance, in the National Archives. Documentation was added to the history of the Hall rifle previously prepared by Mr. Goins. Museum aide Donald Kloster is completing his paper on the American usage and changes in the floral motif ‘“Rosemaling” as brought to the United States by Norwegian immigrants. Naval history.—Mendel L. Peterson, head curator of the department, participated in an expedition exploring the sunken city of Port Royal in Jamaica, in collaboration with the National Geographic Society and Mr. Edwin A. Link. A collection of several hundred specimens dating from the late 17th century was assembled and is now in the Institute of Jamaica in Kingston. Mr. Peterson continued his study of the marking and decoration of muzzle-loading cannon. Completion of the project depends on the photographing and study of specimens in the collections of Europe and Latin America. Associate curator Philip K. Lundeberg assumed responsibility for a study of the development of United States naval vessels; it is designed to interpret the division’s expanding collections of American warship models and half-models. Dr. Lundeberg is one of several co-authors of a comprehensive history of the United States and world sea power, entitled ‘Sea Power,” edited by E. B. Potter and Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. As part of another collaborative effort, Dr. Lundeberg began research on Secretaries of the Navy who served during the era of the New Navy, 1881-1897. Special attention is being given to the role of the Secretaries in formulating plans for vessels of the famous ‘‘White Squadron,” models of several of which are in the division’s collections. <<>> Museum aide Alan B. Albright performed underwater exploration at Sackets Harbor, N.Y., on sites dating from the War of 1812, and studied preservation techniques used at the laboratories in Williamsburg. He also studied plastic imbedding techniques at the Armed Forces Medical Museum. | Research by visiting investigators.—Assistance was provided to other government and private agencies throughout the year. Among organizations so assisted were the National Geographic Society and the division of naval history and the bureau of naval weapons of the Department of the Navy. Individuals who utilized the department’s collections in their research included: Frederick P. Todd, Director of the Museum, United States Military Academy; Colonel John Hamilton, Director of the Fort Ticonderoga Museum; and Captain Arthur Kennard, Assistant Master, Armouries, Tower of London. <<>> Publications The scientific publications of the United States National Museum continued under the editorship of John 8. Lea, assisted by Ernest E. Biebighauser, and Michael J. Walker. In addition to the Annual Report, the Museum issued 28 publications based on research in the national collections. Of these, 4 were in the Bulletin series, 22 in the Proceedings series, and 2 were Contributions from the United States National Herbarium.
