Exploration of our country and the study of its natural resources have been encouraged and supported. But at first no provision was made to preserve the novel scientific materials collected by early governmental expeditions and surveys. However, in 1846 the Regents of the newly established Smithsonian Institution, at the request of the 29th Congress, agreed to accept responsibility for the care of these collections, provided that adequate space and financial aid be granted. As a result, the United States National Museum was established in March 1857 as a Federal Bureau, to be administered by the Smithsonian Institution and financially supported by the Government of the United States. Over the years, collections have flowed into the United States National Museum, keeping pace with our expanding national boundaries and the amazing progress of science. One of the most important functions of any museum is to preserve and make available the objects confided to its care. In the field of natural history—which includes many aspects of zoology, botany, geology, and anthropology—it is from collections of these objects that much of our basic knowledge is derived. Such objects, when they are wisely collected and carefully documented and arranged, make the museum an orderly, useful <<>> By June 1961 the foundation of the east wing of the Natural History building had been completed and work on the first floor was in progress. In this view from across Constitution Avenue, the east end of the wing is partly hidden by the tree in the foreground. At the left is seen Ninth Street, NW., and in the background, the Arts and Industries building. <<>> treasure house of reference materials—a reservoir of factual information from which layman and scientist alike benefit. In 1904 the designers of our Natural History building provided what they thought was space sufficient for normal growth. At that time they could hardly have foreseen the impending explosive expansion of scientific knowledge. The older scientific cisciplines have since expanded into broader fields, and new sciences have been born and have come of age. The importance of the Museum to the Nation was also underestimated by the designers; they did not anticipate the increasing number of individuals and agencies that would find daily use of the collections essential to their work. Our natural history collections have kept pace with these new developments and have even anticipated them, but the facilities for accommodating this vast treasure have remained static for more than half a century. Asa result, the new building had reached its efficient capacity in the 1920’s, and by 1928 its Director was already pointing out the need for larger quarters for his staff and collections. Since 1930 the natural history collections that are basic to scientific work in zoology, botany, geology, and anthropology have nearly tripled in size in shghtly more than 30 years, even though their growth is carefully controlled and only those specimens believed essential to scientific progress are accessioned. It is, therefore, a source of profound satisfaction to the Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, as well as to its staff and its wellwishers throughout the world, that the Congress has now made available the funds needed for the construction of additions to the Museum of Natural History building of the U.S. National Museum. At the end of fiscal year 1961 the east wing construction was well under way, its completion being scheduled for the spring of 1963. Plans for the west wing and for modernization of the existing building are approaching completion, and it is confidently anticipated that the entire project will be completed, and the new wings fully occupied, during 1964. The two additions to the existing building will be essentially mirror images of one another; each will have over-all dimensions of 199 by 180 feet and will consist of a basement, ground floor, and six upper floors. The two wings together will have a gross area of approximately 537,000 square feet and a net area of about 390,000 square feet. Hach will provide service facilities for the visiting public, such as restrooms, and elevators giving access to exhibit halls in the existing building. The portion of each wing abutting the existing building will contain a mechanical equipment area that will house air-conditioning equipment, and through these areas and a cooling tower in the <<>> present east court the wings and the present building will be completely air-conditioned. The advantages of this for the visiting public, the staff and scientific visitors, and for the collections themselves, are too obvious to emphasize. Some of the many essentials provided by this new construction include efficiently located and arranged storage space that gives maximum protection and accessibility to the collections ; modern, specialized laboratories and workrooms that promote maximum efficiency in both the use of the collections and the efforts of the scientists; general service laboratories that consolidate those needs shared by many disciplines; and workshops for the preparation and mounting of specimens and the construction and repair of exhibits. For the staff members of the Museum of Natural History, for the large number of scientists from other Federal agencies who are permanently housed in the Museum and use its materials constantly, and for the many hundreds of visiting scientists who yearly consult the collections for periods of days or months, this building program now in its final stage represents the culmination of years of planning and hoping. The entire scientific community of the country shares our satisfaction in knowing that the Government’s irreplaceable and basic tools of natural history will soon be housed in a manner fitting their scientific significance. The general arrangement of each floor in the new wings is essentially standardized; there will be a central area for the appropriate reference collection, surrounded on the three outside walls of the wing by a series of workrooms and laboratories. These will all be approximately 19 feet on one dimension and will vary in the other according to the use proposed for them. All such rooms will have excellent dayhght and will contain the facilities needed for the intended use as designated by the members of the scientific staff, who in each case have designed the details of their own areas. On the average, each floor will have between 20 and 30 workrooms or laboratories, and each division will center its activities within a welldemarcated area. The east wing is designed to house, on approximately 414 floors, practically all the functions of the department of geology and the activities associated with it. The top floor of this wing will be utilized by the division of birds, and a large part of the fifth floor by the division of mollusks, these of course being two parts of the large department of zoology. The west wing will house the division of fishes on its ground floor, the division of marine invertebrates on its first and much of its second floor, the division of reptiles and amphibians on the rest of the second floor, the entire department of botany on the third and fourth floors, <<>> and the division of insects on the fifth and sixth floors, a portion of which will also provide some storage space for the division of mammals, which otherwise will occupy the adjacent top floor of the western part of the existing building. Space on the third floor of the present building will be remodeled to permit the suitable expansion of the entire department of anthropology and the establishment of an adequate photographic laboratory that will provide service to all units of the Museum of Natural History. Three existing attic areas of the present building, to be adequately lighted and air-conditioned, will permit housing of some of the study collections of the department of anthropology and the division of mammals. With the removal of scientific activities from the entire first and second floors of the present building, two public halls originally designed for exhibits will be returned to their proper use. The ground floor of the existng building will ultimately house an expanded central Smithsonian Library, some study areas of the division of fishes, a modernized cold room for the important fur collection of the division of mammals, completely renovated facilities for those activities of the office of exhibits that pertain to natural history, and improved shops of the buildings management department. The building program here discussed opens many vistas of progress for our staff scientists and their colleagues, who are concerned equally with care of the collections and the research, based upon them, that expands our knowledge. Science is never static. A museum does not progress merely by keeping in excellent condition the materials in its care, although custodial competence is certainly a prerequisite to advancement. Only by applying modern viewpoints and modern techniques can the traditional branches of science progress. Staff members of the Museum of Natural History have these viewpoints, and with the space and equipment that is provided by the new additions, they can implement their research by modern techniques. They eagerly welcome this opportunity to project their skills in new and potentially profitable directions. <<>> \ | Jel bua Cornerstone of the Museum of History and Technology was laid May 19, 1961. It is located at the northeast corner of the building (lower right). <<>> Buildings Additions to the Museum of Natural History For the construction of the east wing extension and for alterations and air conditioning of the existing Natural History building a contract was awarded January 3, 1961, to the George Hyman Construction Company, for the sum of $7,748,000. Construction was started January 6. At the close of the fiscal year the project was 17.5 percent complete. Excavation for all major portions of the east wing extension was completed, the basement raft slab was approximately 80 percent constructed, and the depressed areas in the northeast corner of the basement had been waterproofed. Foundation walls for the mechanical equipment buildings in the east and west courts of the Natural History building were poured. All underground plumbing for the east court equipment building had been inspected and backfilled, and chilled-water and condenser-water lines in the tunnel of the central equipment building in the east court were 95 percent laid. Construction of the rerouted trunk sewer was finished the first week of May 1961. The General Services Administration has selected Mills, Petticord and Mills, architects for the east wing extension, to complete plans and specifications for the design of the west wing extension. Museum of History and Technology The cornerstone of the Museum of History and Technology was laid May 19, 1961. The Honorable Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court and Chancellor of the Smithsonian Institution, together with Senator Clinton P. Anderson, Regent of the Smithsonian Institution and Chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee for a Museum of History and Technology, spoke of the history and purpose of the new building. The Regents of the Smithsonian Institution and members of the Joint Congressional Committee participated in placing the mortar for the stone. At the close of the fiscal year the building was approximately 50 percent complete. Details of the progress of construction during the year and a brief description of the exhibits planned for the building are contained in the report of the Joint Congressional Committee (Senate Report No. 365, Sith Cong. Ist Sess., June 12, 1961), as follows: The Joint Congressional Committee on Construction of a Building for a Museum of History and Technology for the Smithsonian Institution submits this report on the progress of the planning and construction of the building. <<>> The last report of the committee dated May 28, 1960, described the beginning of construction of the building for the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of History and Technology. Construction, as of March 1961, reached 35 percent of completion, but the rate of progress has not attained what was originally scheduled. The normal expected progress to March 15, 1961, was 59 percent and every effort will be made to speed the remaining work in order that the building may be finished not later than July 1, 1962, even though the present anticipated date of completion is several months beyond that. All structural steel has been erected, the concrete decks set in place on all floors, the concrete walls completed from the basement floor to the second floor, and precast wall panels which will backup the exterior stone are now being erected above the second floor. The mechanical work is more advanced than normally would be expected at this stage of construction. Most of this progress Was accomplished prior to December 10, 1960, when Washington began to experience its worst winter weather in recent years. Practically no general construction was performed on this, or, we are informed, on any other large local building in the period from December 10 to December 31 because of snow, cold, and rain. On January 9, 1961, officers of the Smithsonian Institution, the General Seryices Administration, and the firm of supervisory architects called on the chairman of the committee to discuss the progress of the building. At that time construction was 30 percent completed. This was 11 percentage points below the expected status of construction for the date. The representatives of the General Services Administration stated that the rate of progress might be improved considerably by expanding the work force engaged in concrete work. In this way space might be made available more rapidly for work by the mechanical and other trades. It was estimated at that time that the concrete work could be completed in about 3 months of favorable pouring weather and the exterior stone in about 9 months. Steps to expand the work force and to minimize the delay were discussed. A summary of the matters considered was sent to the members of the committee in the form of the 11th monthly report from the Smithsonian Institution. Monthly meetings between officials of the regional office of the Public Buildings Service were begun as a result of the discussion and Within the following 2 months the average work force was increased from 250 men to 425. Subsequent to January 9, 1961, four heavy snowstorms occurring about a week apart caused another month’s delay in the pouring of concrete. Temporary heat in enclosed sections of the building permitted some types of interior work to proceed although many other major construction projects in the area were completely halted. The General Services Administration recently reported that unexpectedly large quantities of stone had to be removed from the quarries to produce the volume of acceptable marble required for the exterior of the building, but that all appropriate means were being taken to expedite the production of the finished marble. The first shipment of marble arrived at the building site in March 1961. The General Services Administration, after evaluating all delaying factors, has advised that the anticipated date of completion is how September 1962. This statement was qualified with the assurance that every practicable way of improving the schedule would be sought. The plan for the exhibits within the building has been described in detail in previous reports made by the committee to the Congress. The purpose of the exhibits will be to present to the millions of citizens who visit the Smithsonian <<>> Institution each year a vital exposition of its great collections, commemorating the national heritage and illustrating the historical development of the basic elements in the life of the country. Original objects associated with famous Americans and historical events, including the original Star-Spangled Banner which inspired Francis Scott Key to write the national anthem, the desk at which Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, Washington’s sword, and many other memorabilia will graphically commemorate stirring events. Humble objects of everyday use will be shown in authentic settings to point out the evolution of our way of life. For the first time in any museum original objects of great historical and individual importance will be combined with period furniture, coaches, tools, contemporary prints of home life and business activities, weapons, uniforms, documents, coins, engines, printing machines, watercraft, and many other things, to form chronological exhibits of the growth of our American civilization. Old plows and tractors, mills, machines, vehicles, locomotives, and original patent models of the electric light, the telephone, the typewriter, and many other devices, will be woven into exhibits illustrating important steps in our agricultural and industrial development. The history of science and technology will be traced in exhibits of the original apparatus of the scientists, relating their great discoveries to the machines and structures in which our inventors and engineers applied new scientific knowledge for the benefit of mankind. The building, when completed, and fully installed with its exhibits, will probably display a wider scope and variety of collections than any other museum. Exhibition and preservation equipment, required for a museum of this complex character, is being built into the building to accommodate the initial installations and also to provide flexibility to permit the museum to adjust its exhibits and collections to keep pace with the future development of the country and its technology. Wide column spacing with nonbearing dividing walls, under-floor ducts to earry light and power wires will allow changes in the arrangement of exhibits. A ceiling design is used which will permit room lighting as well as the accent lighting of large objects. These lights can be changed economically when new exhibits are put into place. These are among the features which will provide for the continuing efficient use of the building. Latest exhibition techniques will be used to make the collections meaningful to the public. Recorded spoken descriptions of the outstanding objects will be transmitted electronically to earphones worn by visitors who wish to avail themselves of the most detailed information. Television camera cables are being built-in to faciliate the broadcasting of educational programs originating in the exhibition halls, thereby adding to the usefulness of the collections. The architects have projected the Smithsonian Institution’s broad experience with extensive collections and large crowds of museum visitors into a coordinated plan designed to receive and direct visitors smoothly and comfortably through the very extensive exhibit areas. The building will have five floors and a basement. Two of the three exhibition floors have entrances at the grade levels of the adjacent streets. On the two floors above the main exhibition floors are workrooms for the curatorial staff and space to house the very large reserve collections of the Smithsonian in the fields of history and technology. These reserve collections will be open to examination by the thousands of visitors who come to the Smithsonian with special interests and by research students, historians, collectors, and writers who wish to study them. The basement will contain maintenance shops and laboratories for the 609091—61——_2 <<>> preservation and renovation of the great variety of priceless objects in the collections. Here also will be public exhibits of mining history and technology. The space and equipment for these varied and specialized museum functions have been thoughtfully planned by the staff of the Smithsonian and by the architects and have been enclosed in an exterior building form which has been favorably described as of a contemporary design which nevertheless retains classic proportions appropriate to the building’s location on the Mall. Through the death of James Kellum Smith, distinguished architect and sole surviving partner of McKim, Mead and White, the Smithsonian Institution suffered the loss of a dedicated friend and adviser. The firm was dissolved, but the architects long associated with the design of the building will continue to advise the Smithsonian as members and associates of the new firm of Steinman, Cain and White. The firm of Mills, Petticord and Mills, associate architects of the building, are supervising the construction of the building for the General Services Administration. Commander Harold L. Haworth, USN (Ret.) is the resident engineer, in charge. Mr. Henry Norair, president of Norair Engineering Corporation, died April 12, 1961. Mr. Norair, as the principal of the firm construeting the building, had devoted close personal attention to the work. Mr. Richard Norair succeeded as president of the firm and Mr. T. H. Maichek, vice-president, is continuing as project manager for the building. Mr. John E. Cudd, haison architect of the Public Buildings Service, General Services Administration, continued to contribute his sound architectural judgment and skills to the resolution of many questions arising out of the work. Mr. A. R. Eno, supervisory engineer, has observed the day-to-day progress of the construction for the Smithsonian Institution and has assisted skillfully in the solution of many problems developing out of 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 1961, the sum of 54,067,542 was obligated by the United States National Museum for the preservation, increase, and study of the national collections of anthropological, zoological, botanical, and geological materials, as well as materials illustrative of engineering, technology, industry, graphic arts, and history (this amount includes sums expended for the program of exhibits modernization ). <<>> Exhibits The systematic, museum-wide program for the modernization of exhibits moved steadily forward during the year. Three large exhibition halls in the Natural History building were renovated and reopened to the public—the hall of fossil plants and invertebrates, the hall of fossil mammals, and the first of the two halls of North American archeology. At the end of this eighth year of the continuing modernization program nine of the fifteen galleries on the first floor and four second-floor halls had been renovated and opened to public view. Each hall has presented distinct problems in exhibition because of the different subject matter interpreted in each. However, each renovated gallery reveals marked improvements in the organization of topics, in the attractiveness of presentation, and in the simplicity of labeling that combine to make it a much more effective educational medium than was the series of exhibits that occupied the hall prior to modernization. In each hall appear selected newly prepared or acquired specimens which help to provide a better rounded interpretation of the field of science represented in the gallery. Museum director Albert C. Smith assumed the chairmanship of the committee coordinating and supervising the modernization of natural history exhibits following the retirement of Herbert Friedmann, head curator of zoology. Dr. Friedmann had served with distinction as a member of the exhibits planning committee since its inception in 1950, and had played an active and substantial role in the organization and development of the exhibits modernization program. The major objective of the exhibits program of the Museum of History and Technology, which is being coordinated by assistant director John C. Ewers, is the development of exhibits for the new building now under construction. However, many exhibits destined for future display in the new museum are being installed in the Arts and Industries building until the Museum of History and Technology is ready to receive them. During the year a hall of monetary history and a hall of petroleum were installed, the series of exhibits on the textiles gallery was completed, extensive additions were made to the exhibits in medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy, and other new displays were placed on view in various locations in the Arts and Industries building. Exhibits for a number of halls in the new building were prepared in the laboratory and carefully stored until they can be installed in <<>> that museum. These included displays for the halls of costumes, political history, ceramics, everyday life in the American past, physics, railroads, Armed Forces history, and ordnance. Full scale period interiors and/or miniature groups also were prepared for the halls of tools, hight machinery, civil engineering, the growth of the United States, and the First Ladies hall. Renovation of historic machines, tools, weapons, vehicles, musical instruments, costumes, and textiles progressed in the museum workshops, and the specification and construction of models of such large objects as ships, locomotives, and machine tools for exhibition in the new museum continued. Exhibits chief John E. Anglim continued to provide overall supervision of the design of exhibition halls and the design and preparation of exhibits for the entire museum. The exhibits work for the Museum of History and Technology was supervised by Benjamin W. Lawless, with the assistance of Robert Widder in design, Bela S. Bory in production, and Robert Klinger in the model shop. Rolland O. Hower, assisted by Thomas Baker and Julius Tretick, 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 H. Flouton, Charles J. Nora, and Julius J. Dickerson, design architects of that agency. Carroll Lusk, museum hehting specialist of Syracuse, N.Y., provided valuable consultative assistance to designers of exhibition halls for the Museum of History and Technology. Joseph G. Weiner, with the assistance of Constance Minkin, Basil Andronicos, and Edna Owens, continued the editing of the curators’ drafts of exhibit labels. The exhibits staff continued to provide timely cooperation to other branches of the Smithsonian Institution. Personnel of the Museum of Mistory and Technology laboratory completed the preparation and installation of exhibits in the Air and Space building. These exhibits were designed by James Mahoney in cooperation with director Philip S. Hopkins and the members of his curatorial staff. Ma. Mahoney also designed the temporary exhibition “Contemporary American Ceramics” organized by the American Craftsman’s Council and circulated in Europe by the United States Information Agency, which was displayed in the Natural History building May 29 through June 30, 1961. Robert W. Widder designed the installation of a special exhibition, “Chinese Art Treasures,” sponsored by the Government of the Republe of China, which opened in the National Gallery of Art on May 27. The staff of the Museum of Natural History laboratory assisted the National Collection of Fine Arts in the design and installation of a temporary exhibition, “Art and Archeology of Viet <<>> At opening of special exhibit of art and archeology of Vietnam, Ambassador and Mrs. Tran Van Chuong examine Vietnamese artifacts with Director Remington Kellogg and Thomas M. Beggs, director of the National Collection of Fine Arts, Smithsonian Institution. Nam” (October 27—December 8, 1960), and assisted the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition Service in the preparation of four temporary exhibitions in the foyer of the Natural History building, entitled “Folk Art from Rumania” (July 16—August 7, 1960), “Two Centuries of Danish Deep Sea Research” (October 14-November 13, 1960), “The World of Werner Bischoff” (February 11-March 5, 1961), and “The New Theatre in Germany” (May 6-28, 1961). Anthropology The first of two modernized halls of North American archeology was opened to the public on June 24, 1961. A number of the 34 exhibits in this hall pertray and explain important aspects of aboriginal North American life—Indian methods of mining and quarrying, techniques of making tools, weapons and other useful objects of stone, <<>> various uses of tobacco, Indian food crops and their cultivation. Metal and glass objects found in archeological sites show the influence of these trade materiais upon Indian culture during the historic period. About half the exhibits in the hall interpret the prehistoric cultures of the North American Arctic, the North Pacific Coast, Califorma, and the Southwest by means of selected artifacts, graphic materials, life-sized and miniature groups. The remarkable skill of the prehistoric peoples in arts and crafts 1s shown through the display of such examples as small ivory carvings of the Old Bering Sea Culture, large wood carvings of the Aleutian Islands, and basketry and pottery made by Indians of the Southwest. The exhibits in this hall were planned by curator Waldo R. Wedel, and the architectural design of the hall was prepared by exhibits designer Peter DeAnna. Other prehistoric cultures of North America will be interpreted in adjoining hall 22, the contract remodeling of which was completed early in the year. Curator of archeology Waldo R. Wedel began planning the detailed contents of the exhibits in this hall. Associate curator Gus W. Van Beek, in collaboration with exhibits designer Ann Karras, initiated planning for the modernization of the Old World archeology exhibits. These will present a synopsis of prehistoric cultures and the high cultures of the ancient Near East and Mediterranean Basin. Contract construction in the hall which will house renovated exhibits on the life of the peoples of the Pacific Islands and South and Southeast Asia was completed in May. Curator Saul Riesenberg wrote a number of the exhibit unit scripts, and designer Dorothy Guthrie began the design of displays for this hall. The adjacent hall, which will contain the revised exhibits on the peoples of Africa and Eastern Asia, was cleared of all old fixtures and new construction was begun. When this hall is reopened, all four ethnological halls in the museum will have been completely renovated and modernized. During the year associate curator of ethnology Eugene I. Knez made a field trip te Asia to collect contemporary ethnological material for exhibition in these halls. With the assistance of scholars and officials, material was acquired from Pakistan, India, Burma, Cambodia, Viet-Nam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. In certain countries of Southeast Asia where local scholars have not concerned themselves particularly with the ethnology of their own people, French scientists of the Ecole Francaise d’Extréme Orient assigned to these areas are rendering valuable assistance. Because the Chinese mainland is inaccessible, the resources of Hong Kong and Taiwan are being used as far as possible in acquiring Chinese collections. An inteerated village exhibit including specimens, sketches, and documenta- tion needed to present a particular theme has been received from West <<>> Pakistan. The Korean Government has agreed to loan for exhibit a rare iron Buddha of the Koryo Dynasty. Associate curator Gordon D. Gibson, presently engaged in an African field study, is collecting ethnological materials for specific exhibits in hall 7. In order to provide space for the storage of materials removed from hall 7, 1t became necessary to remove from exhibition and store all the semipublic displays of the division of physical anthropology on the third floor. Among these are: trephining, cranial deformity, criteria for sexual identification of the skeleton, relationship of size of longbone to stage of tooth eruption, and morphological variations in bones. Zoology Curatorial planning of exhibits for the large hall of oceanic life, now under construction, comprised the major exhibits project of the department during the year. Acting head curator Fenner A. Chace, Jr., succeeded Dr. Herbert Friedmann as coordinator of the planning for this hall upon the latter’s retirement. All members of the curatorial staffs of the divisions of fishes, marine invertebrates, and mollusks were actively engaged in this project, and those of the divisions of mammals, and of reptiles and amphibians were to some extent involved. Development of this hall requires the preparation of hundreds of lifelike models, for which detailed specifications must be drawn up by curatorial staff members from figures in the literature, preserved specimens in the collections, color slides of living or recently collected material, and from aquarium specimens. Four field trips have been made to collect materials and photographs for this hall. Dr. Joseph P. EK. Morrison and James Watson collected near Ocean Springs, Miss., and Beaufort, N.C., from May 14 to June 15, 1960, to obtain specimens anddata for the marshy shore and sandy beach groups. Charles E. Cutress, Jr., and Raymond E. Hays visited Cape Arago, Oreg., between August 29 and September 25, 1960, collecting for the Pacific coast rocky shore and tidepool habitat group. Dr. Frederick M. Bayer and Anthony DiStefano conducted field work at Soldier Key off Miami, Fla., from September 6 to October 12, 1960, in connection with the coral shore group. Dr. Morrison and Thomas G. Baker were in New Caledonia from November 16, 1960, to February 22, 1961, gathering material and information for the coral reef exhibit. Mr. Baker succeeded Chris Karras as designer responsible for the exhibition in this hall. Several meetings of the curatorial and exhibits staffs were held during the year to determine the general themes of the hall of osteology and the hall of cold-blooded vertebrates. <<>> An effort will be made to place upon exhibition, either in the hall of oceanic life or in the hall of cold-blooded vertebrates, fishes of near record size, especially those of interest to sportsmen and commercial fishermen. This project was materially enhanced when Mr. Al Pflueger of North Miami, Fla., donated five beautifully finished casts and one unfinished cast of fishes in that category. Four of the finished casts are now on exhibition: a wahoo, 77 inches long; a green moray, 74 inches; a dolphin, 63 inches; and a Franklin D. Roosevelt Atlantic sailfish that weighed 140 pounds. .Of special interest is an unfinished cast of a swordfish, 14 feet, 1114 inches long and weighing 1,182 pounds, the largest one so far recorded. Mr. Warren F. Rathjen of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service transferred to the national collections a western Atlantic blue marlin that measured 12 feet, 3 inches—only 9 inches shorter than the known record for this species. Casts of the swordfish and blue marlin, when completed, will be placed upon exhibition. Another interesting model, the unique deep-sea anglerfish Galatheathauma axeli, with a luminous area inside its mouth, was donated by the Universitets Zoologiske Museum, Copenhagen. Curator Harald A. Rehder prepared a temporary exhibition, “The World of Shells,” for display in Museum of Natural History foyer during June for the 28th annual meeting of the American Malacological Union, June 20 to 23, 1961. Part of this exhibit will later be placed on permanent display on the second floor of the museum. Before his retirement, Dr. Herbert Friedmann completed the manuscript for a guidebook to the hall devoted to “Birds of the World,” and the color and black-and-white photographs to illustrate this booklet were taken. This is the first guidebook to a renovated hall in the Museum of Natural History to be prepared. Geology Three renovated halls of fossils at the east end of the first floor of the Natural History building were formally opened to the public on June 6, 1961. They are designed to show the story of hfe through the ages from the earliest known fossils, dated 1,600 million years ago, to the great mammalian fauna of the Cenozoic Era. The hall of fossil plants and invertebrate animals is divided into four alcoves, the first of which shows what fossils are, what animals have been found as fossils, how animals become entombed in rocks, and how the geological time scale was formed. The second alcove contains a synoptic exhibit of fossil plants featuring a case on the coal-forming species. The third provides an exhibition of fossil backboneless animals showing the progression in time of the sponges, <<>> In this exhibit, added to the hali of fossil fishes, the lower Permian flesh-eater Dimetrodon is attacking Edaphosaurus, a primitive mammal-like reptile that lived some 220 million years ago in the Texas area. corals, snails, clams, trilobites, and other ancient shelled creatures. A case of “Giants of the Past,” displaying some of the largest known invertebrate fossils, 1s of special interest. The fourth alcove comprises a series of dioramas depicting ancient sea bottoms for each of the Paleozoic systems and for the Cretaceous of the Mesozoic, with their colorful forms reconstructed to appear as they were in life. The diorama of the Pennsylvanian system is the only one of its kind, depicting a marine environment rather than the coal swamp environment portrayed in reconstructions in many other museums. This hall was developed under the scientific supervision of curator G. Arthur Cooper with the assistance of exhibits designer Gorman Bond. The hall of fossil fishes had been informally reopened in June 1960. However, a life-sized group, completed this year, showing a conflict between two kinds of pelycosaurs, or fin-backed reptiles, as 1t might have happened about 260 million years ago, adds interest to this hall. The third hall, the age of mammals in North America, is divided into five general areas, one for each of the epochs of Tertiary time from il7/ <<>> Fauna and flora of middle Eocene in the Wyoming area, first of four murals, depicting different epochs, being painted by Museum artist Jay H. Matternes. Paleocene to Pliocene, a period of (0 million years. Skeletons representing the better-known groups of mammals are supplemented by a display of skulls for each of the epochs. Enlarged photographs show field localities where some of these fossils were found. The large mural by Mr. Jay H. Matternes, depicting a mammalian assemblage with associated reptiles and plants of the Bridger middle Eocene, was completed. A second mural, showimg a Harrisonian, or early Miocene, life group, is nearly finished. Two additional murals portraying assemblages of characteristic mammals of other epochs will appear in this hall. Curator C. Lewis Gazin and exhibits designer Ann Karras collaborated closely in the development of this hall. Architects’ plans for renovating the hall in which are displayed the dinosaurs and the Mesozoic reptiles were completed and the con- <<>> Largest North American land mammal of the Oligocene, 35—40 million years ago, was the Brontotherium, last of the titanotheres.

The layout of exhibits was designed by Ann Karras under the scientific supervision of associate curator Nicholas Hotton III. This hall was closed to the public in March. All the wall exhibits were taken down and the larger skeletons were grouped together in the center for protective casing, prior to new construction work. Most of the smaller specimens have been temporarily stored, as have most of the already mounted Pleistocene mammals. Because of the necessarily long period of time during which the dinosaur and Pleistocene animal halls will be closed, a selection of these animals of popular interest has been moved to the rotunda for display. A temporary meteorite exhibit was placed in the areaway connecting the jade room and the renovated North American archeology hall 21 on the second floor. Planned and installed under the direction of associate curator Edward P. Henderson with the collaboration of exhibits designer James Piper, this exhibition was opened to the public on June 24, 1961. The laboratory staff of the Department of Geology performed much of its work inthe exhibit halls during the year. However, preparation in the laboratory has progressed on the re-embedding in plaster, reinforcement and repreparation of the agate slab of Miocene mammal remains and the further preparation of reptilian materials, such as the plesiosaur, phytosaur, and mosasaur, which have required remounting and other changes. <<>> EXHIBITS Dil Science and Technology During the year sixteen new exhibits interpreting the history of medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy were instailed on the east gallery of the Arts and Industries building, bringing the total] of modernized exhibits in the field of medical science to twenty-eight. Designed by Ronald Elbert and Fred Craig from scripts prepared by curator John B. Blake and associate curator Sami K. Hamarneh, these cases illustrate the practice of bloodletting through the ages, the development of surgical anesthesia, spectacles, medicine chests, antique drug jars, tools of the apothecary, and dental instruments. The exhibits were planned for the future halls of the Museum of History and Technology. Dr. Blake completed the scripts for the remaiming exhibits in medieal and dental history for the Museum of History and Technology, and the design of these units was begun in May. Dr. Hamarneh thoroughly revised the scripts for additional case units for the hall of pharmacy and provided technical supervision for the restoration and trial erection of an 1890 period drug store which will be a feature exhibit of this hall in the new museum. A new exhibit on the eye was installed in the hall of health. Under the scientific direction of head curator Robert P. Multhauf, the design of exhibits for the hall of physics and astronomy by Benjamin W. Lawless and Ronald Elbert and for the hall of chemistry by Barbara Bowes progressed steadily during the year. Production of exhibits in the sections devoted to early physical science and classical physics was begun May 1 and a dozen units were completed by the end of June. >> Exhibits worker installing display of early medical X-ray equipment in hall of medical sciences. Among the 16 new medical science exhibits were displays tracing the early development of antibiotics and the history of pill making. <<>> New ship models prepared for the historical series in the new museum have been placed on exhibition as soon as they are received. A special exhibition, featuring the model of the 1819 steamship Savannah, was presented in the watercraft hall in celebration of National Maritime Week, May 21-27. Associate curator John H. White, Jr., wrote scripts for the railroad hall, and these were used by exhibits designers James Mahoney and Virginia Kneitel in designing units for the street railway and locomotive sections of the hall. Production of street railway exhibits was begun in May. The locomotive Pioneer, which served the Cumberland Diorama of radio broadcasting studio of the early 1920’s, complete with wind-up phonograph, was added to displays of early history of electronics. Valley Railroad in 1851, was placed on exhibition in the east hall in February, and the cable car was removed for restoraticn prior to its exhibition in the new building. New locomotive and street car models have replaced old and inaccurate ones, and a scale model of the Norris Locomotive Works has been added to the east hall exhibits. Curator Eugene S. Ferguson wrote the exhibits script, collected major specimens, and prepared specifications for models and dioramas for the hall of tools of the Museum of History and Technology. The design of exhibits for this hall by Harry Hart and Bright Springman is nearing completion. Adequate equipment for a pre-Civil War machine shop was obtained after a search extending over four years, and the systematic restoration of machine tools and other objects for the hall of tools is going forward at an accelerated pace. Two landmark machine tools of 1865-1875, completely restored and made operative by William Henson, were placed on exhibition in the south <<>> west gallery of the Arts and Industries building. The first, a Brown and Sharpe No. 1 universal milling machine, is set up to mill the flutes of twist drills, one of the first operations undertaken by this type of machine. The other tool, a Jones & Lamson turret lathe, is equipped with authentically reconstructed turret tools to produce brass oil cups. Mr. Henson carried out the extensive research required for the restoration of these tools. Design was completed on the section of the hall of civil engineering devoted to the history of tunneling, and preparation of study models for eight scale models illustrating the development of soft ground and rock tunneling methods was also completed under the technical direction of associate curator Robert M. Vogel. A temporary exhibition of fine prints, drawings and photographs of 18thand 19th-century civil engineering works, planned by Mr. Vogel, was displayed from February 1 to April 30 in the rotunda of the Arts and Industries building. Associate curator Edwin A. Battison continued to collect specimens and to direct the restoration of intricate watch-making machinery and other objects for exhibition im the hall of light machinery. For exhibits in this hall he perfected scripts which are being designed by Fred Craig. A particularly attractive display of decorative watches was installed in the hall of timekeeping by Mrs. Dorothy Briggs, who restored the watch and clock cases as well. Through the efforts of Mr. Battison, the Schlage antique lock collection was shown for a period of two months in the rotunda of the Arts and Industries building: and three interesting automaton figures—a draftsman, a penman, and an organist—from the Museum of Neuchatel, Switzerland, brought to this country by Professor Edmond Droz, were publicly exhibited from May 1 to May 14. Arts and Manufactures The modernized petroleum exhibit, which adjoins the iron and steel exhibit in the Arts and Industries building, was opened to the public in June. It provides a brief historical account of the growth of the petroleum industry since the discovery of the Drake well at Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1859. The exhibit is introduced by an illustration of ancient uses of natural asphalt, and animated models showing the two earliest methods of drilling used in the United States: the spring-pole and the Drake rig. A section of Drake’s drive pipe displayed with the models provides a direct link with this historic enterprise. One of the few surviving bottles of Kier’s petroleum recalls that use as a medicine preceded its application to lighting and Inbrication. Some of the prob <<>> Modernized petroleum exhibit, with original experimental model of Burton-Humphreys still. This thermal-cracking process, introduced in 1913, made it possible for the industry to meet demand for gasoline resulting from mass production of automobiles. Gasoline, a waste product of kerosene refining in the early days of the petroleum industry, was once turned into heating fuel by means of the Springfield gas generator, right. 609091—61 5 oa) <<>> lems of the kerosene era are presented, and an early use of the byproduct gases is indicated in the form of a Gilbert and Barker gasmachine, in use until the 1940’s in a school laboratory. A small display of geophysical exploration equipment, made possible by the generosity of Seismos GmbH., Humble Oil Company, Continental Oil Company, Schlumberger, and Mr. Everett Lee DeGolyer, Jr., reviews the principal methods employed to expand the knowledge of America’s oil resources. The first well to be drilled off-shore (Creole No. 1) is shown in the form of a model presented by the Pure Oil Company. With the cooperation of Standard Oil Company (Indiana), Universal Oil Products Company, Esso Standard Oil Company, M. W. Kellogg Company, Mr. C. P. Dubbs, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Prof. Harold Weber), an account of the major dedevelopments in oil refining is presented by means of full-scale equipment and models accompanied by explanatory flow charts. The climax of “refining” prior to the automobile era is commemorated by a museum-designed model of a cheese-box still. The experimental still used by Drs. Burton and Humphries at Whiting, Indiana, which led to the first large-scale thermal cracking of crude, was graciously donated to the museum by Dr. Robert Wilson. The Dubbs clean-circulation process, representative of major developments in cheaper refining after World War I, is shown in a contemporary model. A model of a polymerization plant shows one of the earliest processes for increasing the high octane content of gasoline, one that was important in making fuel available for the allied air forces in 1939-1940. The historic fluid-catalytic cracking process, evolved in 1941 to provide the vast quantities of fuel needed by the U.S. Air Force, is also shown. Finally, a platinum-catalyst reforming process is demonstrated as a sample of the post-war effort to convert lowergrade to higher-grade fuel. The importance of natural gas is brought out in a graphic explanation of the use of exhausted oil-measures for reserve storage. A modern highway, in model form, draws attention to the fact that asphalt is now a product of the petroleum refineries. The American Gas Association and the Asphalt Institute have collaborated with the museum in the preparation of these exhibits. This hall was planned by head curator Philip W. Bishop in cooperation with exhibits designers Thaddeus McDowell, Riddick Vann, and Benjamin W. Lawless, assistant chief of exhibits. Other exhibits will be added to those in this hall to expand the interpretation of the story of petroleum in the new museum. >> EXHIBITS 2h reserves and the development of various means of transportation of gas and crude oil is under construction. This map is the gift of the American Petroleum Institute. Renovation of the textile exhibits was completed with the opening of the third and last section of the textile hall gallery to the public on December 9, 1960. This section presents the origin and history of lace-making and rug-making, and displays popular types of American needlework. Among these, old American quilts are shown in an automatic case equipped with a selector dial, permitting the exhibition of ten quilts in a space previously required for two. The quilts are exposed to heht for a brief viewing time, which can be set at a master control point. Over 100 samplers dating from the 18th and 19th centuries are exhibited in specially designed pull-out frames so that the fragile fabrics are protected from fading when not being viewed. Also displayed are a fine collection of laces, from 16th-century drawn-work to machine-made laces of the 19th century, and examples of both hand and machine netting techniques. Two temporary exhibits are of particular interest. One shows 27 lace and needlework handkerchiefs of the 19th century selected from the permanent collections. The other, on loan from Mr. Cornelius Roosevelt, includes an excellent embroidered wall hanging made by his mother, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., an accomplished needlewoman. This colorful embroidery depicts one scene from the fairy tale of the Golden Cockerel. With it is shown an incomplete companion piece on the embroidery frame, made by her son, which Mrs. Roosevelt used. Preparation and installation of the lace and needlework was carried out under the direction of associate curator Grace L. Rogers by staff member Doris Bowman, assisted by summer interne Barbara Shafritz. The exhibits were designed by Robert Widder. These new textile exhibits, with additional permanent exhibits and temporary displays, will be installed in the Museum of History and Technology. Pre-installation display preparation for the hall of graphic arts has been completed. The John I. Wells hand press was refurbished and the bed support, rounce (or winch), and attendant leather pulley system were overhauled and repaired. Associate curator Eugene N. Ostroff reviewed and began rewriting the scripts for the exhibits of the hall of photography, which will include both working models and historic specimens. Because the exhibition area for photography in the Arts and Industries building was being revised, no special photographic exhibits were held during the year. <<>> Six special exhibits in graphic arts were shown: 20th-century color wood20 prints from the colJuly 1—-September 11, cuts lection 1960 Prints by Alfred Sessler 20 prints in various September 12—October media 31, 1960 Prints by Arthur Thrall 20 prints in yarious November 1, 1960—Janumedia ary 3, 1961 Lithographs and draw18 prints January 4-February 28, ings by Prentiss 1961 Taylor Prints by Sheila Isham 16 prints in various March 1—May 1, 1961 media Prints of the 16th cen23 prints in various May 2-June 30, 1961 tury media, from the collection Production of exhibits for the hall of ceramics was begun in the laboratory during January. The exhibit contents were specified by associate curator Paul V. Gardner and the designs prepared by Mrs. Dorothy Guthrie. Theodore A. Randall, head of the department of design, New York State College of Ceramics, Alfred, N.Y., continued as a consultant for the division of ceramics. A competition for the design of a fountain, and for a decorative wall grill for the hall of ceramics, is being held among the students at the College. Contracts were awarded for two architectural features for the hall of glass, a stained glass entrance panel and an intaglo design in plate glass representing a glass blower. Important recent accessions by the division of ceramics and glass have been featured in exhibits in the Natural History building. An experimental fuel-cell tractor developed by the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company was placed on display in the hall of farm machinery in October. Throughout the year a rotating exhibition of color photographs lent by the Soil Conservation Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture was maintained at the east end of this hall. The preliminary script for the hall of wood products completed by consultant Carl Rischell, was studied by associate curator E. C. Kendall and exhibits designer Riddick Vann as a basis for developing a layout of exhibits. Provisional exhibit scripts for the halls of nuclear energy, iron and steel, and mining were prepared during the year by the division of manufactures and heavy industries, and head curator Philip W. Bishop and associate curator Charles O. Houston, Jr., carried forward negotiations intensively throughout the year with the industrial firms and trade associations whose aid is essential to the development of the exhibits. <<>> EXHIBITS 29 Civil History A completely renovated hall of monetary history and medallic art was formally opened in the Arts and Industries building on March 18, 1961, in the presence of the Secretary of the Treasury, the Under Secretary of the Treasury, Senator Clinton P. Anderson, Representative Frank T. Bow, Regents of the Smithsonian Institution, members of the diplomatic corps, donors, collectors, and representatives of numismatic organizations from all sections of the country. The central series of 19 specially designed cases traces the major aspects of the development of money economy from primitive barter to the establishment of our modern monetary systems. The series relates the evolution of money, an integral part of the cultural development of human society, to a sequence of significant historical events. Thus the coins, tokens, and paper currencies are made more meaningful to nonspecialists than would be their display in the conventional classifications of the numismatist. Special emphasis is given to the development of the various forms of currencies in North America and their role in the economic and political growth of the United States. Table cases of topical displays on “The Origin of Coim Names,” “The Reformation,” “Confederate Currencies,” and “State Bank Notes” complete the monetary history section of this hall. A reconstruction of the coin-stamper designed by the renowned Italian artist and inventor, Leonardo da Vinei (1452-1519), which marked the introduction of mechanization in coining techniques, occupies a prominent position in the hall. A significant section of this hall is devoted to the United States Mint collection, the oldest collection of coins owned by the government. The hall also features the world’s largest collection of gold coins on public display, a type collection of 1,850 gold coins of Europe and the Americas given to the Smithsonian Institution by the late Paul A. Straub. Almost 4,000 silver coins complement this series. The small size and considerable value of the coins, as well as the danger of damage to paper money from fading, present special probJems in the museum display of these materials. The 19 upright cases containing the history of money displays have internal lighting of the cold cathode variety. The light boxes are equipped with specially designed Lucite (methacrylate) lenses which insure even light distribution within the cases and at the same time filter some of the more damaging radiations. The coins are placed whenever possible in tightly closed boxes made of clear cellulcse triacetate K TV which are in turn attached to the display panel with small Velcro dises or strips, facilitating the removal of coins for study purposes and replacement of coins on display. <<>> BS ™ r pam ae Modernized display of the national numismatic collection in the Arts and Industries building.

All paper currencies are protected by Plexiglas G, 4% inch unshrunk, which has ultra-violet absorbency of 100 percent at 3830+ millimicrons. The windows of the hall itself are covered with filters having a hght transmission of only 8 percent. The completion of this hall would not have been possible without the assistance of many public and private institutions and organizations as well as most generous gifts from numerous private citizens of the United States. The exhibits were planned and thew preparation supervised by Mrs. Elvira Clain-Stefanelli, associate curator of numismatics. They were designed by Harry Hart. A special exhibit featuring 250 masterpieces of ancient Greek coinage, prepared by Mrs. Clain-Stefanelli from material loaned by <<>> ay U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1961 FIRS Conve conte: Hue LVR 19st: eseeee OG dees nee The U.S. Mint was founded in 1791, and the national numismatic collection was started soon after, at Philadelphia, site of the first mint. a private collector, was displayed from December 1960 to March 11, 1961, in the rotunda of the Arts and Industries building and from March 18 to May 26, 1961, in the monetary history hall. It included outstanding examples marking the evolution of Greek coinage from the 7th to the 2d centuries B.C. Beginning June 21, 1961, two cases featuring “Paper Currencies of the World” were put on display. The division of numismatics also contributed special exhibits to the National Numismatic Convention in Boston, August 24-27, 1960. Under the supervision of curator Wilcomb E. Washburn, aided by designer Robert Widder, the greater part of the pre-installation display preparation for the hall of American politics has been completed by the exhibits laboratory. Several temporary topical exhibits were <<>> Fartient syste bob eorauasant 2 yd The national collection today has examples of practically every type of money ever issued by the U.S. Government. arranged by the division of political history. An inaugural exhibit was displayed from December 1960 to March 1961, and during the same period state gifts presented to President Eisenhower were shown. Early voting machines and presidential commemorative material were exhibited during February 1961. Associate curator Margaret Brown Klapthor completed the exhibits scripts for the new First Ladies hall, and all labels for these exhibits were edited. Restoration of two Washington period rooms progressed, and the sketch model was approved for a diorama portraying Dolley Madison removing furnishings from the White House during the War of 1812. Studies of possible modifications in the treatment of mannequins for the First Ladies hall were pursued in the laboratory. During the year the White House china collection <<>> was expanded so that representative pieces from almost every administration are now on exhibition. Production of exhibits for the hall of costumes was continued and over 80 per cent of the units for this hall were completed by the end of June. Assistant curator Anne W. Murray prepared detailed specifications for 21 mannequins to be used in the display of period costumes. During the year the overall layout of exhibits and design of cases for the hall of philately and postal history were completed, and at year’s end the graphic design of the series of exhibits to interpret the history of the post was nearing completion. The scripts for these exhibits were written by George T. Turner, associate curator in charge, and assistant curator Carl H. Scheele. A selected group of historical items from The Postal History Museum of the Post Office Department, which was transferred to the Smithsonian Institution April 1, was placed on exhibition in the existing philately hall. To coincide with the issuance of a new United States stamp bearing a likeness of the 50-star American flag, a display of stamps of foreign nations which feature the United States flag was prepared for July 4, 1960. Exhibits for the hall of everyday life in the American past, planned by curator C. Malcolm Watkins and designed by exhibits chief John EK. Anglim, advanced to the production stage in March. By the end of June more than 20 percent of the wall case exhibits for this large hall were produced. Meanwhile, George H. Watson continued his painstaking restoration of period rooms to be shown in this hall and has thus far completed pre-installation work on eight of these projects. On May 26, 1961, a rare American wooden statue of William Pitt, carved in 1801 by Joseph Wilson for the eccentric “Lord” Timothy Dexter of Newburyport, Mass., was placed on exhibition in the cultural history hall. This statue, the gift of Mrs. Arthur M. Greenwood, was restored with remarkable skill by exhibits technician Gordon Dentry. Associate curator John D. Shortridge prepared exhibit scripts for the section of keyboard instruments which will occupy the central area of the hall of musical instruments in the Museum of History and Technology. Architects for the building completed their design of the architectural features of this hall, and Allyn Cox’s sketches for the wall decorations were approved by the Fine Arts Commission, Associate curator Peter ©. Welsh and consultant Anthony N. B. Garvan completed the scripts for exhibits in the second of the halls to be devoted to interpretation of the growth of the United States. This hall covers the period 1640 to 1740 in American history. Robert Widder made progress on the design of exhibits for the hall that interprets the period 1750 to 1850. Mr. George Watson completed <<>> restoration work on one period installation for this series of exhibits and made marked progress in the advance preparation of two others. From January 15 to February 5 the first public showing of the recently acquired Harry T. Peters’ “America on Stone” lithography collection was held in the foyer of the Natural History building. This exhibition of more than one hundred selected prints, entitled “The Victorian American,” subsequently was circulated by the Smithsonian Traveling Exhibition Service. Armed Forces History The development of the hall of ordnance and the series of halls interpreting the history of our Armed Forces was a major activity of all curators, who participated in frequent consultations with the exhibit designers and model makers designing and producing exhibits for these halls. Head curator Mendel L. Peterson, curator Edgar M. Howell, and associate curator Philip K. Lundeberg supplied information and specimens to designer Fred Craig which enabled him to complete the detailed design of units for the first third of the extensive series of displays on the history of the Armed Forces. The program of building and restoring the warship models that will illustrate comprehensively the evolution of the United States man-of-war was continued, and specifications were prepared for the construction of scale models of representative military and naval aircraft. Following specifications prepared by associate curator Craddock hk. Goins and his colleagues, designer John Brown completed the designs for a considerable number of the exhibits for the hall of ordnance. Robert Klinger, Donald Holst, Anthony Fiore, and Paul Richards of the model shop produced for this hall an exceptionally fine series of scale models of field, siege, and ships’ guns of the 15th through the 19th centuries. Production of panel exhibits was begun in June. Mr. Howell, in consultation with the architects of the building, developed detailed plans for the feature exhibit of the Star Spangled Banner, in the rotunda of the new museum. A complete display of United States military decorations and medals, and a Civil War 12-pounder gun on its carriage were added to the existing displays in the hall of military history. A number of warship models, relating particularly to the Civil War, were added to the exhibits in the hall of naval history, while other models were progressively retired for major restoration, which normally involves complete repainting and re-rigging, and frequently requires extensive research in the interest of detailed historical accuracy. During September a special exhibition of memorabilia of Gen. John J. Pershing was placed on view in the rotunda of the Arts and Industries building in conjunction with the national celebration of General <<>> Pershing’s birth. Roman antiquities recovered from the Mediterranean and the Sea of Galilee by the Link expedition during the previous summer were displayed from April 1 to April 26. The division of military history prepared a special exhibition of military epaulets for the annual meeting of the Company of Military Collectors and Historians, May 19-21, at Gettysburg, Pa. Naval, military, and ordnance materials recovered from a 17th-century shipwreck site were displayed by the division of naval history at the same meeting. This division also cooperated with the Department of the Navy in providing specimens for exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, Il1., and at the Hall of State, Dallas Historical Society, Dallas, Tex. Union Gunboat Benton. Converted from a Mississippi River snag boat in 1861 by James B. Eads of St. Louis, Missouri, this 202-foot ironclad served as flagship of the Western Flotilla which spearheaded early Federal victories in the Mississippi Valley. Wearing the command pennant of Flag Officer Andrew Hull Foote, the Benton mounted a battery of two IX-inch Dahlgren guns, four 42-pounders, two 50-pounders, and eight 32-pounders, constituting the heaviest armament in the Union flotilla. As indicated by this model (scale: Ys inch=1 foot) recently received by the division of naval history, the Benton consisted essentially of an armored casemate, mounted on two narrow hulls, between which was located a paddle wheel. <<>> Accessions During the fiscal year 1961 During the past year accessions added 971,150 specimens to the national collections. These materials were distributed among the eight departments as follows: anthropology, 19,764; zoology, 369,701; botany, 103,160; geology, 229,676; science and technology, 4,231; arts and manufactures, 5,521; civil history, 237,323; and armed forces history, 1,774. This total includes 228,911 stamps, 223,501 insects, and 95,102 marine invertebrates. 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 116. Anthropology The division of archeology received by transfer from the River Basin Surveys 5,153 artifacts collected at numerous prehistoric sites in South Dakota and Wyoming. Mrs. Virginia M. Pollak added to her earlier generous donations a wooden ibis from the PtolemaicRoman period of Egypt. Dr. David C. Graham of Englewood, Colo., honorary research associate in biology, gave to the division of ethnology two scrolls written in the Chinese and Manchurian languages and representing awards in the years 1753 and 1868 for loyal services to the Chinese government. From the estate of John T. Owen was received a late 19th century Chinese four-panel, lacquer screen. The decoration thereon, showing four birds in a natural setting, has been executed by inlaying motherof-pearl, rose quartz, white and stained ivory, and semiprecious stones. Dr. F. F. Fellows, of West Linn, Oreg., presented 54 ethnological specimens of Eskimo manufacture which he had collected at Icy Cape, Alaska, in 1908. Dr. Leo Stoor, of Cleveland, Ohio, presented 104 smoking pipes, mainly from the Near East, India, China, and Japan. In exchange from John H. Brandt, of New York City, came 84 Micronesian ethnological objects. Among the rare specimens in this collection is a type of necklace from Yap no longer obtainable from the natives. From the Ossining (N.Y.) Public Schools came two Pacific Islands fishhooks, one of which, an Hawaiian circular turtle-shell hook, was collected about 1840 and is now rare. <<>> DEPARTMENT OF ANTHROPOLOGY Archeology Enthnology Physical ntnropolosy: DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY.

Magruder MacDonald, when an abandoned cemetery near the Calvert Street bridge in Washington was exposed in the course of building operations. The Zoller Laboratory of Dental Anthropology of the University of Chicago presented 11 standard models for classifying crown characters of human deciduous teeth. The models, accompanied by an explanatory manual, were prepared by Dr. Kazuro Hanihara, of Sapporo Medical College, Japan, and are based on a series of 600 subjects representing various racial groups. Zoology Forty-two accessions added a total of 4,076 specimens to the collection in the division of mammals. Nearly 1,000 specimens from Formosa and 400 from North Borneo were collected by field parties of U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2 and forwarded by Dr. Robert EK. Kuntz. Two important collections were received from South Vietnam, an area heretofore very poorly represented: Bernard R. Feinstein, of the Museum staff, working in cooperation with the Army Medical Research and Development Command and the Bernice P. Bishop Museum, sent 600 mammals; and Dr. Robert Traub forwarded 121 additional specimens collected by the U.S. Army Medical Research Unit. From Panama, Captain Vernon J. Tipton sent 273 specimens collected by the Army Preventive Medicine Division. Numerous smaller collections were received from localities within the United States; E. V. Komarek presented 83 mammals, mostly carnivores, from the southeastern states, as well as an additional lot of 53 small mammals from the same area; Russell E. Mumford and Ralph D. Kirkpatrick each continued to send mammals from Indiana; and the Virginia State Department of Health, through J. T. Banks and T. M. Mullmann, presented 44 mammals collected in the course of epidemiological surveys. Other contributions to the much desired improvement of our mammal collections from the Middle Atlantic States were received from Lyle Conrad, Bernard R. Feinstein, E. H. Geil, C. O. Handley, Sr., C. O. Handley, Jr., Robert D. Jackson, Kenneth I. Lange, J. C. Lingebach, and Daniel I. Rhymer. Some of the most important accessions in the division of birds came from the same sources that were responsible for several of the mammal collections referred to above. >> sponsored by the Bernice P. Bishop Museum and the Army Medical Research and Development Command. No less than 1,411 skins and 19 skeletons from North America were received by transfer from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2 was also credited with 1,081 skins and 6 alcoholic specimens from Formosa. The division of reptiles and amphibians received several noteworthy collections. Leslhe Hubricht donated 19 salamanders from Alabama, including the holotype of a new genus and species. A fine series of Virginia amphibians, mostly salamanders, collected by the late Walter Green moray eel Gymnothorax funebris, caught near Cat Cay in the Bahamas. Six feet two inches long and weighing 42 pounds, it was given to the Museum by Al Pflueger. B. Newman, was received as a gift from his mother, Mrs. Helen B. Newman; this collection contains type material of two species. By transfer from the U.S. Army Medical Research Unit, through Lt. Col. H. J. Baker, came 29 snakes, mostly from Selangor, an area from which we have had few specimens. Material from the U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2, through Dr. Robert KE. Kuntz, amounted to 116 snakes from Formosa. >> KR. Bullis, Jr., and Daniel M. Cohen. These collections are important as they contain specimens of value to the current research of several investigators. Dr. Eugenie Clark, of the Cape Haze Marine Laboratory, Placida, Fla., and Dr. H. Steinitz, of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, donated 778 marine fishes that were collected in the Red Sea by Dr. Clark; these specimens are very valuable because the Red Sea area is the type locality of numerous kinds of fishes, some of which are endemic. Dr. Hurst Shoemaker, of the American University of Beirut, donated 361 fishes from Lebanon. Among the valuable collections sent in for identification were 453 Formosan fishes received from Dr. Robert E. Kuntz, U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2, and 728 specimens from Africa and South America received from Dr. Herbert R. Axelrod, of Tropical Fish Hobbyist Publications, Jersey City. The John C. Lutz collection of Hemiptera, consisting of 87,371 specimens, was the most outstanding accession in the division of insects; this collection, which contains 668 types of various kinds including holotypes of 15 species, is particularly rich in Neotropical species, many of which were not previously represented in the national collections. Another very important insect accession is the N. Baranov collection of Palaearctic tachnid flies, consisting of 4,611 specimens representing 305 genera, 68 of which are new to our collections, and 812 species, of which 499 were not previously available for study here; no less than 129 species are represented by type material, including 43 holotypes and 51 paratypes. Individuals who made important contributions to the national insect collection are: Dr. Charles P. Alexander, Amherst, Mass., who donated 3,306 miscellaneous specimens from North and South America; A. J. Ford, of Honolulu, who presented 2,915 Hawaiian insects; Dr. J. Maldonado-Capriles, who contributed 2,938 miscellaneous specimens from Pakistan; O. L. Cartwright, U.S. National Museum, who donated 10,000 scarab beetles; William E. Sieker, who presented 2,127 Lepidoptera from Wisconsin; Dr. Douglas Gould, who gave approximately 3,000 mites; N. L. H. Krauss, who continued his enthusiastic support of the national collections by contributing 7,848 miscellaneous insects from various parts of the world; and Dr. Karl V. Krombein, who presented 1,127 Hymenoptera which are of special value because they are the basis of biological studies being conducted by the donor. Contributing materially to another record-breaking year for accessions in the division of marine invertebrates were 54,480 amphipod crustaceans, including 15 type specimens, received from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California. From the Universitetets Zoologiske Museum, Copenhagen, through Dr. H. Volsée, we received 9 deep-sea invertebrates from the world-renowned <<>> Danish Deepsea Expedition of the Galathea, including paratypes of unusual holothurians, starfishes, polychaete worms, and sea anemones. The Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, The Netherlands, through Dr. L. B. Holthuis, donated 402 crustaceans, including two seyllarid lobsters and an authoritatively identified set of European isopods. >> The division of woods received in exchange from the Yale School of Forestry 474 wood samples collected by Dr. John J. Wurdack and L. S. Adderley in Venezuela; 966 slides of Malayan woods from the Forest Research Institute, Kepong, Selangor, Malaya, through P. K. Balan Menon; 314 wood samples with voucher herbarium specimens collected in Sarawak, from the University of Oxford, England; and 1,784 microscope slides of pollen from the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden.

During the past year the meteorite collection continued its growth. Seven meteorites new to the collection were obtained: Abee, Canada; Bruderheim, Canada; Kandahar, Afghanistan; Treysa, Germany; Utzenstorf, Switzerland; Aroos, Russia; and Moab, United States. Exchanges for meteorites and tektites were carried out with the following institutions; University of Bern, University of Adelaide, University of California, Max Planck Institut fiir Chemie; Universitets Mineralogiske Museum (Copenhagen), University of Kentucky, University of Alberta, National Musenm of Australia, Gorny Institute (Leningrad), Naturhistorisches Museum (Bern), Academy of Sciences of the USSR, and the Geological Survey of Canada. Some important fossil collections were acquired by the division of invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany. The American Museum of Natural History donated the famous Greene collection consisting mostly of Devonian corals from the Falls of the Ohio region in Indiana and Kentucky. A bequest was received from the estate of Mrs. tuby F. Renfro of approximately 50,000 specimens of Pennsylvanian, Permian, and Cretaceous fossils of north central Texas and a small collection from Europe. Other gifts include 1,000 Devonian invertebrate fossils from the upper Dundee limestone and the Silica shale, Michigan and Ohio, presented by Dr. Erle G. Kauffman; 36 fossil crabs from the Miocene of Virginia, from George Webb; and 167 smaller Foraminifera from the Mississippian of southern Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, presented by Dr. J. E. Conkin. <<>> This topaz, shown full size, is from Minas Gerais, Brazil, and weighs 3,273 carats. It is the largest cut blue topaz in the world. Funds from the income of the Walcott bequest made possible field work which yielded 600 echinoids from the Paleocene, collected in Georgia by Dr. Porter Kier in collaboration with Dr. Druid Wilson, of the U.S. Geological Survey; 2,500 Upper Cretaceous, Paleocene, and Eocene invertebrate fossils collected in Maryland by Dr. Erle G. Kauffman with Dr. Norman F. Sohl and Dr. Harlan R. Bergquist, of the U.S. Geological Survey; and 1,000 Pennsylvanian fossils collected in Texas by Drs. G. Arthur Cooper and Richard E. Grant. The outstanding accession received in the division of vertebrate paleontology was a series of about 202 specimens representing fish, amphibians, and reptiles from various Permian formations in Texas and Kansas, collected by Dr. Nicholas Hotton III and John E. Gassaway through funds provided by the Walcott bequest. Particular mention is made of a nearly complete and articulated skeleton of the small predaceous amphibian A croplous vorax taken from the Permian Speiser formation of Kansas, and a large part of a skeleton of the primitive cotylosaurian reptile Labidosaurus sp., from the Permian Arroyo formation of Texas. A rare and remarkably well-preserved ray fish, together with a gar pike and a partial skeleton of a bird <<>> <<>> which may prove to be a fossil booby, from the Eocene Green River formation of southwestern Wyoming, were purchased through the Walcott bequest. The jaws, part of the skull, and several vertebrae of a very large baleen whale were collected from the Miocene Yorktown formation near Hampton, Va., by Dr. Nicholas Hotton III, Kurt F. Hauschildt, and Dr. Frank C. Whitmore, Jr. Dr. Hotton, assisted by William E. Moran, a former Smithsonian employee, also secured a partial skeleton, including the greater part of a skull, of a rare embolomerous amphibian from the Mauch Chunk formation of Mississippian age, near Greer, W.Va. Science and Technology The division of physical sciences acquired two astrolabes of unusual interest. Through the generosity of Lessing J. Rosenwald a very fine medieval English instrument was received, having as a notable feature zoomorphie star pointers. Although undated and unsigned, it is dated by the calendar scale about 1325. A second astrolabe received this year is an Hispano-Moorish instrument by Muhammad ibn-Sahli. In its decoration it exhibits a mixture of Islamic, Christian, and Jewish characteristics. Two major refrigerating machines for exhibit in the new hall of power machinery were received this year: the first commercially successful centrifugal refrigeration compressor from Carrier Corporation, and a typical steam-driven reciprocating ammonia compressor from Clifton Springs Sanitarium and Clinic. The compressor was generously restored by the Frick Company. ‘The first seven bridge models for the new hall of civil engineering were completed; they exhibit an unusually high level of excellence in the model builder’s art. About 3,000 original large tracings, on cloth, of heavy mining machinery for the period 1875-1902 were received from Calumet & Hecla, Inc. This valuable collection represents an important part of the creative work of Erasmus D. Leavitt (1836-1916), a widely known and highly honored mechanical engineer. The archival collections of the division have grown, largely through the efforts of associate curator Vogel, to a major repository of source materials in the history of mechanical and civil engineering. The Cumberland Valley Railroad locomotive Pioneer, built by Seth Wilmarth in 1851. Gift of the Pennsylvania Railroad through its vicepresident John S. Fair, the locomotive was placed on exhibit in February 1961. <<>> An early (1903) gear-shaping machine from the Fellows Gear Shaper Co., intended for exhibit in the new hall of tools, is one of a growing collection of machine tools that were significant in the rise of the United States as an industrial nation. The first universal erinder (1883) by Abraham B. Landis and an animated model of a modern large transfer-type machine for high-production grinding of automobile crankshafts were received from the Landis Tool Co. With a particularly gracious gesture, Monseigneur Roger Michon, of Chartres Cathedral, provided us with a color transparency of the Cathedral’s stained glass window of “Le Tourneur,” by a 13th century craftsman. The window, located high in the Cathedral, was photographed personally by Msgr. Michon with his own telescopic equipment. He noted with pleasure that “Chartres will be represented in your new Museum.” Among the outstanding gifts in the section of marine transportation is a model of the brigantine sloop Ferret. This Admiralty model is a gift of Lansdell K. Christie. From the Grace Line, Inc., we received a model of the passenger liner Santa Paula. Other outstanding models received were the blockade runner Yergus, paddle steamer George Law, whaleback Frank Rockefeller, New York pilot boat Anna Maria, and the Savannah, 1819 steamship that crossed the Atlantic Ocean. In the section of land transportation a colonial chaise, together with funds for its restoration, was received from Stewart Huston. Also received wasa collection of fire fighting apparatus from Dr. Karl B. Bretzfelder. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, through L. W. Sagle, donated a collection of glass-plate negatives and car drawings. The division of electricity has been particularly fortunate in obtaining the Palmer Collection of early electrical equipment from Princeton University. The collection is an important one and provided most of the illustrations in M. Maclaren’s “Rise of the Electrical Industry During the 19th Century.” It is exceptionally rich in examples of laboratory meters, telephonic apparatus, power switch-gear, and incandescent lamps. Two other large groups of specimens were also acquired; one from Brown University, consisting primarily of motors and generators, together with some interesting wireless telegraph equipment, and one from the Weston Instrument Company, consisting of early commercial meters. The Standardizing Laboratory of the General Electric Company is also sending us a fine collection of meters of the 1880's. Among the commercial pieces, some of the most outstanding were: a telegraph message sent by marine cable from London to Bombay in 1873, from Mrs. Isabel M. Goetschises; a Westinghouse alternator of the late 1880’s, from Cornell University; an example of the klystron <<>> first used to supply the power for high energy linear accelerators, from Stanford University through E. L. Ginzton; and a complete mechanical television transmitter, from the State University of Iowa. The collections of timekeeping instruments have been considerably enhanced by the acquisition of a David Rittenhouse half-size tall clock, which has an astronomical type dial. Only one other precision clock by Rittenhouse is known, and it has undergone much rebuilding. This clock is one of his earlier works and is probably entirely the product of his own hands. Several other outstanding clocks were also obtained, including one from Gideon Roberts, who introduced massproduced wooden clocks. Among the accessions in medical sciences during the past year has been a significant collection of dental instruments, from the S. S. White Dental Manufacturing Company; most important were those related to dental drilling. The New England Hospital for Women and Children Nurses Alumnae Association donated an early uniform, worn by Linda Richards, and other personal memorabilia, including a Tolles microscope. Miss Richards was the first woman to receive a diploma from any American training school for nurses. A number of medals, diplomas, and other memorabilia have been received from the estate of Abraham Flexner, in accordance with his bequest. Additions to the drug-jar collection included two 16th century Belgian jars and one 19th century Danish jar. A 19th century Robervahl balance was received from J. Stanley Falck. Arts and Manufactures The division of textiles received a collection of over a hundred 19thcentury sewing machines, presented by the Singer Manufacturing Company through Bogart F. Thompson. Machines previously unrepresented in the collection include an 1849 Morey and Johnson machine and an 1849 Blodgett and Lerow, both predecessors of the famous Singer machine, and many 19th-century patent models of Singer and other machines. An outstanding collection of over two hundred sewing birds, hemming clamps, and related needlework accessories was donated by Miss Mabel Whiteley. Mrs. Herbert Arthur May presented an interesting collection of laces and embroidery, including examples of Chantilly, Brussels, Maltese, and Venetian needlepoint. Mrs. May also gave to the division of ceramics and glass 13 pieces of American glass from a special service made for her yacht Sea Cloud. Other specimens accessioned by the division of ceramics and glass are: a rare Castleford urn with painted decorations, presented by Mrs. George H. Myers; 28 pieces of porcelain, including an English Lowestoft teapot, a China trade porcelain fruit basket, Sevres tea set, <<>> and a Liverpool coffee pot, all of the 18th century, donated by Mrs. Wilham A. Sutherland; and a unique piece of Americana, consisting of an Oriental Lowestoft cider jug and cover, with painted decorations with the inscription “Jefferson and Liberty,” surmounted by an American eagle and 17 stars, given by R. Thornton Wilson. A fine group of chiaroscuro woodcuts was acquired by the division of graphic arts. The group includes two examples by the important early 16th-century pioneer, Antonio da Trento, S#. Matthew and The Martyrdom of St. Paul and St. Peter; The Descent from the Cross, by Ugo da Carpi, founder of the chiaroscuro process in Italy; works by the most important 17th century practitioners, such as Aeneas Carrying Anchises by Ludolph Businek; Death of Lucretia by Paulus Moreelse; and Sibyl with Books and Virgin with Jesus and John by Bartolomeo Coriolano. The 18th century is represented by John Baptist Jackson’s Pieta and the outline block for his The Virgin in the Clouds and Six Saints. Ralph E. Wareham presented to the section of photography a Lechrome National Photocolor One-Shot Color Camera. This type of camera simultaneously exposes a complete set of color separation negatives which are used to produce color prints. A display of motion picture film strips explaining their Technirama process of cinematography was donated by Technicolor Corporation. Several significant specimens were received in the division of manufactures and heavy industries. In the section of petroleum, Universal Oil Products Company and Esso Standard Oil Company, in association with the M. W. Kellogg Company, prepared models and flow charts illustrative of phases in the development of petroleum refining. William C. Cleveland, consultant in the section of general manufacturing, has been successful in locating more than 100 machines typical of the development of the metal working trades. These will provide an excellent basis for a treatment of the history of fasteners of all kinds. A number of important pieces of equipment have been transferred by nuclear physics laboratories at Argonne, Chicago, and Washington, D:C: Civil History Received as a gift from President John F. Kennedy was a magnificent volume, the Atlas Nouveau, compiled by Nicolas Sanson and published in 1692. This richly illustrated atlas, intended for the instruction of the Dauphin of France, is bound in a contemporary red leather and gilt binding. Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower donated a Portuguese standing lamp in silver, a carved teakwood elephant and rider presented to him by His Majesty Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand, and an elaborately carved scene from the Mahabharata in ivory and san <<>> ACCESSIONS Sl Gift of President John F. Kennedy, this atlas was compiled by Nicolas Sanson and was published in France in 1692. dalwood, presented to him by the President of India. Mr. Eisenhower also gave the twin microphones over which his voice was frequently carried during his 50,000-mile campaign of 1952. Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower presented a pink embroidered organdy dress given her by Mrs. Carlos P. Garcia, wife of the President of the Philippines. Ralph E. Becker continued his donations of political campaign paraphernalia of the past. Significant among the gifts is a preserve crock inscribed “25,000 Majority General Jackson”—a protest against the fact that although General Jackson rolled up a majority of greater than 25,000 popular votes over his nearest rival, John Quincy Adams, in the election of 1824, he lost the election. Since no candidate had a majority of the total vote, the House of Representatives chose Mr. Adams from the three candidates having the highest number of electoral votes. The division of philately and postal history acquired a specialized collection of early Peru, consisting of more than 13,000 stamps and covers in 16 albums, donated by Bernard Peyton. The material portrays the postal history of Peru from the period of Royal Spanish Service to the end of the 19th century. Essays, proofs, and color trials augment the approved stamps, and each issue is thoroughly explored by means of cancellations. One album presents the Pacific <<>> o2 U.S. NATIONAL MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT, 1961 The ‘Seaway error,” a Canadian 5-cent commemorative stamp with inverted center, given to the Museum by George L. Lee. Steam Navigation Company’s stamps and essays, including use on covers. ‘The provisional stamps made necessary by the occupation of Chilean forces in 1879-82 are of great historical value. George L. Lee presented a collection of Egyptian stamps from the Royal Inperforate Printings prepared for Kings Fuad and Farouk. This unusual material was sold by the present Egyptian Government in 1954. Mr. Lee also gave a used copy of the 5-cent Canadian St. Lawrence Seaway stamp with inverted center. This modern printing error, of which only shghtly more than 100 are known, including 11 used copies, was discovered in 1959 not long after date of issuance. Widespread interest and limited supply have caused a sharp appreciation for this variety. The division of numismatics received from Cornelius Van Schaak Roosevelt, grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt, a high-relief experimental 20-dollar gold piece dated 1907, originally owned by President Roosevelt. This rare first striking of a piece designed by the American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, at the President’s request, marks a unique venture in modern monetary history, a venture in which a President of the United States and a famous sculptor worked together to produce a new coin design of high artistic merit. Mr. Willis du Pont donated a very significant additional group of Russian coins and medals of the latter part of the 18th century. <<>> ACCESSIONS ays) Mrs. Louise Merrick Schermerhorn presented a group of rare gold certificates including a group of three notes dated 1864, 1866, and 1877, typifying the earliest issued of United States gold certificates. To the section of medallic art were added, as a gift from Norman Stack, two rare Washington medals, one made in 1790 by Manly and the other in 1805 by Eccleston. The Medallic Art Company of New York donated an interesting group of models and dies used for the striking of the John F. Kennedy inaugural medal, as well as a process set of medals showing the various steps in the striking and finishing of the medal. Armed Forces History The division of military history received a unique Revolutionary War militia color carried at the Battles of Trenton and Germantown, presented by Mr. Francis W. Headman in memory of his son, Francis W. Headman, Jr. Lieut. Col. Calvin P. Titus donated a rare Medal of Honor awarded to him for gallantry in the siege of Pekin, in 1900. Field work at Sackets Harbor, N.Y., Fort Adams, Miss., and on underwater sites in Bermuda yielded significant historical materials for the collections. The division of naval history received an outstanding collection of German and Japanese ordnance and electronic equipment of World War II, Japanese uniforms, and uniform items of Fleet Admiral Nimitz and Vice Admiral Lockwood. Two objects associated with Pearl Harbor were received. A unique monogrammed dish for the Confederate Navy was added to the Civil War collections. President John F. Kennedy donated an ancient Greek amphora recovered from the Mediterranean. <<>> Care of Collections Accessions TransTransLent for (transacferred to ferred to study to tions) Exchanged educationother govinvestigators 1961 Received on with other al instituernment and to other Specimens Departments (new) loan institutions tions, etc. agencies institutions identified Anthropology . . 61 a 454 5 0 3,790 21, 006 UOONORy 3 2 oc 759 1,552 5,690 1, 219 116 = 87, 8382 16, 984 IBOUEHIN 5 6 ooo 360 8,074 39,445 2,419 2,046 16, 700 19, 646 Geallopay oo so 389 385 3, 671 (0) 159 12,453 44, 029 Science and Tech284 16 4 0 0 73 682 nology.

Joseph Andrews in the anthropological laboratory. Ma. Andrews also made casts of a variety of anthropological specimens and of a few human faces from life, instructed visitors in the special techniques of a museum laboratory, and provided information to correspondents on the care of wooden and ivory objects. He continued the restoration and preservation of various types of specimens, not only from the collections of the department, but also from those of the National Collection of Fine Arts and of the division of cultural history. Scientific illustrator George R. Lewis made 95 drawings, mainly of archeological objects, 35 maps and charts, and he lettered about 16 illustrations. By contract Henry Courtais remounted, cleaned, and restored 100 more paintings of American Indians by George Catlin. At the close of the year Mr. Courtais was starting work on an additional 100 paintings. New frames are being made in the museum’s carpentry <<>> shop for all of the paintings thus far restored. Judging by the frequent inquiries about, and requests for photographs of, the Catlin paintings, there is great public interest in the work of this famous painter of Indians. The second of two large Northwest Coast dugout canoes which had badly deteriorated in the course of years of exposure has been repaired by a boatwright and is soon to be returned to the west court of the Natural History building. The evacuation of two ethnology exhibit hails under the modernization program made it convenient to check the identification and condition of many specimens, following which the study collections involved were regrouped and consolidated for improved storage and accessibility by assistant curator Robert A. Elder, Jr., and museum aide Clarence A. Bender. In the new archeological exhibit halls museum aides George Metcalf and Robert Jenkins further reorganized the study collections stored behind the display areas and brought more nearly up-to-date the location records pertaining thereto. Associate curator Gus Van Beek, assisted by museum aide Robert Jenkins, virtually completed the systematic arrangement of the study collections of Old World archeology, so that specimens from Egypt, Mesopotamia, Iran, Palestine, Cyprus, Greece, and Italy are now grouped by culture area and separated by type within the cultural grouping in a manner that permits ready reference by the staff and visiting scientists. Mrs Evelyn Harvey Henning, summer intern, consolidated and fully listed on cards the division’s extensive collection of reprints and pamphlets, thus greatly increasing their usefulness. In the division of physical anthropology, processing of the recently accessioned River Basin Surveys collections was completed by anthropological aide Lucile Hoyme and summer intern Charles G. Strickler. Zoology The program of new construction and remodeling involving the Natural History building has made it necessary to move parts of the collection of mammals into temporary quarters and to accelerate some of the long-range projects concerned with the arrangement of that collection. The merging of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service collection into the national collection of mammals was accelerated. With the help of museum aide Reginald Williams, preliminary arrangement of the rodents was almost completed during the year. Miss Viola S. Schantz, of the Fish and Wildlife Service, supervised the index-carding of most of the squirrels. Satisfactory progress was also made on rearrangement of alcoholic specimens and segregated types. >> summer intern John Phillip Angle. During the remainder of the year, this work and the routine cataloging of incoming specimens were kept current by museum aide Robert D. Jackson. The osteological laboratory under Joseph D. Biggs cleaned 3,025 skulls and skeletons of mammals, as well as miscellaneous skeletal materials for other divisions. All accessions received in the division of birds have been fumigated, identified, and catalogued, and, except for those withheld for study, all have been incorporated into the main collection. Extensive reworking of the North American birds has been done by Dr. J. W. Aldrich and T. D. Burleigh, of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The taxidermy staff skinned and made up 51 birds, mounted 33, and cleaned and repaired 27 other specimens. The inventory of the lizards in the division of reptiles and amphibians was completed by museum aide Dorsey Williams. The processed and catalogued collection of fishes is in an excellent state of preservation and arranged in an orderly manner that makes them readily accessible. In the division of insects, the transfer and arrangement of the Monrés collection of Chrysomelidae has been completed by Mrs. Doris 1. Blake, and the transfer of the Tippman Cerambycidae collection has also been completed; both of those collections are now housed in standard U.S. National Museum drawers and cases. Dr. Oliver 8S. Flint, Jr., has identified and arranged the large mass of Trichoptera (caddisflies) that had accumulated over the past 75 years, and it is now readily available for study. Dr. Ralph E. Crabill, Jr., has continued to examine carefully old material in the myriapod collection, with the result that many additional types were discovered, properly labeled, and recorded. Significant strides have been made in systematically arranging and storing the slide collection of myriapods. William D. Field has reclassified and rearranged the Morphidae, bringing together the old collections and the specimens acquired from the Ernest Shoemaker collection. Those, together with the Megathymidae also reclassified during the year, are now housed in standard drawers. In addition 10 Schmitt boxes and 30 drawers of miscellaneous Lepidoptera were identified and incorporated in the regular series. Summer intern Donald Duckworth completely rearranged the microlepidopteran family Stenomidae to bring it into line with recent revisions and advances in that group, and the large slide collection of genitaha of that family has been carefully arranged in Technicon slide cabinets. The extensive Tippman collection of Cerambycidae has been labeled and transferred to standard cases, and the entire collection of Collembola has been checked and reconditioned. <<>> Rearrangement of the more or less inactive collections of marine invertebrates was continued by Dr. Frederick M. Bayer; about half the hydroid collection has now been rearranged, cleaned, and checked for preservative. Museum aide Nathaniel Livingston has checked the preservative and cleaned the jars in about one-sixth of the echinoderm collection, one-fourth of the polychaete collection, two thirds of the crayfish collection, and the entire collection of primary types other than crustaceans. He has also fumigated all of the quarter-unit dry specimen cases in the attic to forestall damage by dermestid beetles. The physical condition of the study collections of mollusks is good, although relatively unchanged from the previous year. Little progress has been made in its reorganization, except for the contribution made by Dr. Joseph Rosewater in adding many drawers of catalogued specimens to the Indo-Pacific marine collection. The condition of the shde and alcoholic collections of helminths at Beltsville continues to be good under the care of members of the staff of the animal disease and parasite branch, who have charge of that collection. Botany With the establishment of the division of woods, the wood collection formerly under the division of agriculture and wood products was transferred intact to the new unit. Since the collection is arranged in a numerical sequence, rather than taxonomically, it does not require periodic changes to allow for new material. In anticipation of expansion into other fields of plant morphology, collections of microscope slides of pollen and of sections of wood, both arranged taxonomically, were started this year. The slides are filed vertically in 3x 5-inch aluminum holders, a method that allows easy interpolation of new slides. Wood samples and microscope slides require little care. Wood samples recently received from the field may be infested with wooddestroying insects, but treatment with ethylene dichloride-carbon tetrachloride effectively destroys them. Samples which may be in the “oreen” condition when received are dried in an unheated conditioning room for several months before being placed in the collections. Such treatment allows the woods to dry and minimizes subsequent checking and sphtting. In the division of ferns, summer intern David Lellinger organized the more than 8,000 photographs of type specimens of ferns, taken in Europe by curator Conrad Morton, so that they can be readily consulted. For the first time numbers were assigned to the fern genera, following the numbering and system of Carl Christensen, Index 609091—61 5 <<>> Sectioning on a sliding microtome is the first step taken by Curator William L. Stern in preparation of microscope slides of wood for reference files and research. Filicum, which is the principal standard arrangement of ferns. This has made possible the preparation of indices which are now attached to the ends of the cases, to facilitate the finding of the genera. The W. H. Long fungus collection, which had been kept separate, was interpolated into the general collections by honorary research associates C. R. Benjamin and John A. Stevenson, as were the fung1 from the Goucher College herbarium. The major activities in caring for the permanent collections and the processing of new material are summarized in the following table: 1959-60 1960-61 Specimens and photographs mounted........................ 31, 859 25, 946 Specimens rep AIT EM rails owe lo eveksteraparereavsrson ster tse oars tau Voeheree ovsisi otoreione 12, 584 11, 698 Specimens stamped tamdsrecond edhe recite cient elke 37, 526 33, 462 Specimens incorporated in herbarium or added to the permanent collections.......................+48, 729 98, 442 There are now 58,438 types in the segregated type herbarium, including 40,619 phanerogams, 10,051 grasses, 3,372 ferns, and 4,596 cryptogams. This is an increase of 514 types during the year. <<>> Geology Some progress was made by the division of mineralogy and petrology, with the help of museum aides Masaw Williams and Franklin Stephens, in reorganizing the rock sets transferred to the Museum by the U.S. Geological Survey, and other locality sets. The economic geology and physical geology materials formerly on exhibit in halls 6 and 19 have been consolidated and stored in hall 6, pending installation of anew geology exhibit in hall 20. A. beginning has been made on the considerable changes in the collections of the division of invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany that must be accomplished before the move to the new wing is made. Museum aide Lorenzo Ford has been organizing both unstudied and type collections under direction of associate curator Richard S. Boardman. The types of the Paleozoic Bryozoa, corals, and the trilobites have been put in precise alphabetical order. Mr. Ford has also arranged and labeled the Pennsylvanian and Permian parts of the large Renfro collection acquired this year. Associate curator Richard Cifelli, with the help of museum aide James P. Ferrigno, has made considerable progress on the continuing task of cataloging, labeling, remounting, and distributing the backlog of specimens into the collections. Dr, Cifelli has also made a small beginning in the establishment of a set of thin sections of Foraminifera. In recent years the study of internal structures observed from thin sections has become very important in the taxonomy of this group. The Museum collection of types is probably the world’s largest, and, judging from the present trend in the taxonomy of Foraminifera, requests for thin sections of types will soon be a major problem. Associate curator Porter M. Kier, in charge of the Springer collection of Echinodermata, has cleaned, sorted, and put away nearly 1,000 echinoids collected by him, or received through purchases and gifts. Associate curator Erle G. Kauffman developed and initiated a major program for the reorganization of the Museum molluscan collection during the year. Under this program, all type specimens will be placed together in a single collection for each class. Nontype biologic sets will be largely reorganized in biologic rather than alphabetical order, using the Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology as the basis for classification. Mesozoic mollusks in the Museum collection will be integrated with those of the U.S. Geological Survey to form a master biologic set. Museum aide Henry B. Roberts reorganized the collection of fossil decapod crustaceans, arranging this collection in accordance with the classification employed by Bales in the new edition of “Das Tierreich.” <<>> The exhibition modernization program in the division of vertebrate paleontology has occupied nearly all of the time of the laboratory personnel in the preparation, mounting, and installation of vertebrate materials, so that very little has been accomplished in the care of the study collection except for the preparation of certain fossil whale materials that came in during the year. Associate curator David H. Dunkle utilized the services of museum aide John D. Gassaway in | rearranging part of the fossil fish collection, and curator C. Lewis Gazin, in the course of research on the Knight faunas, has nearly completed cataloging the lower Kocene mammalian collections, the results of five seasons’ field work. Science and Technology All specimens received this year in the division of electricity have been accessioned, catalogued, cleaned, and placed in storage or on exhibit. Electronics technician Roy La Roche cleaned the specimens and checked their placement on the catalog cards. Additional storage space set up in the wood court was of considerable assistance because of the growing size of the collections. Two of the finest models in the division of mechanical and civil engineering were thoroughly restored this year, an exquisitely detailed beam steam engine of about 1830, built by Bancks of London, and a large waterworks pumping engine, built at the Corliss works in 1870. Both models will be exhibited in the new Museum. Through machinist William Henson, adequate equipment for a machine shop has been obtained through surplus channels from the Washington Naval Weapons Plant, and under his hands the systematic restoration of machine tools and other objects for the hall of tools is being carried out at an accelerated pace. In the division of medical sciences, museum aide Everett A. Jackson has been engaged in a cleaning and restoring program, beginning with objects scheduled for exhibition in the new museum. Acquisition of a small amount of new storage space has made possible a more logical and orderly rearrangement of the reference collection. The catalog cards in the section of medical and dental history, heretofore filed numerically, were refiled by subject groupings, and a similar project is progressing in the section of pharmacy and health. A new subjectgroup index to the photograph collection is also being prepared by museum aide George H. Ford, who continues to devote a major part of his time to the maintenance of operating exhibits in the hall of health. In the division of transportation, restoration of the Locomobile steam automobile is nearly completed, and restoration of the cycle collection is proceeding fairly rapidly. <<>> This teaching model of a beam steam engine, made about 1830 by Bancks of London and now on loan from the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanics Association, was restored for eventual exhibition in the new Museum. The rail collection was inventoried and many unidentified sections were catalogued. Detailed sketches were made of each rail section and placed on the catalog cards for future reference. The cards were refiled according to style and material. Arts and Manufactures The division of agriculture and forest products has continued its program of renovation of the farm machines in storage at Silver Hill. Most of this is being done at the model shop, where laborer John W. <<>> Smith has cleaned, repainted, and restored several machines, including a horse-drawn drill and a disc harrow. Through the efforts of museum aide John Wingo, the farm machinery hall ranked as one of the best maintained. Consolidation of storage has continued in the division of ceramics and glass, with sixteen additional units being added to the Arts and Industries building storage section. Inventory and rearrangement of storage items has been well advanced. Cataloging and accessioning of new objects and recataloging and checking identification of objects received by transfer from other divisions is progressing satisfactorily. In the division of graphic arts museum aide James W. Norwood matted and made minor repairs to approximately 820 prints. Some 315 patent models of presses and allied inventions dealing with printing, typefounding, and typecasting were cleaned and inventoried by museum aide James Norwood, who also gathered information for use In preparing divisional record cards for these unlisted specimens. Associate curator Kugene Ostroff, in cooperation with consultant Dr. Rudolf Kingslake, Director of Optical Design of Eastman Kodak Company, completed identification of the photographic lens collection. Wherever necessary the lenses were restored. The division of manufactures and heavy industries continued its program of review of existing collections and has completed reorganization of storage. Museum aides John Carter and Linwood Lucas have cleaned and renovated a number of specimens and models and handled the large number of items received at the Smithsonian storage facility. In the division of textiles hundreds of textile patent models previously stored on open shelving were removed, checked, cleaned, and relocated in new metal lockers by museum aide Everett Parker. Reorganization of the fabric and lace storage continued. Lace edgings were rolled on plastic film for easy handling. The work of re-storing by type and style in preparation for improved study storage in the new building is slow, but important. Civil History A major project in the division of cultural history was the restoration of a rare early American wooden statue of William Pitt, carved in 1801 by Joseph Wilson for “Lord” Timothy Dexter. The figure had been ravaged by carpenter ants and dry rot. Most of one arm had disintegrated, while concrete poured into the hollow center of the torso had caused the remaining solid wood to split. Considerable work was involved in removing the concrete and rotten wood, constructing the interior surface to form a solid mass, and substituting new wood to rebuild the statue. The task became one of artistic skill disciplined by painstaking observation of existing evidence as <<>> What remained of carved wooden statue of William Pitt, before restoration. It is the last of some 30 figures made in 1801 by Joseph Wilson to decorate the lawn of ‘‘Lord’’ Timothy Dexter’s estate in Newburyport, Mass. Above right: Restorer Gordon Dentry sculpturing reconstructed parts of William Pitt statue. The completed restoration is now on exhibit in the hall of life in early America. <<>> missing surface areas were sculptured in the new wood. Careful study of the paint colors was made, using both documentary references and the archeological evidence of paint layers. A white undercoat was applied, followed by exact copies of the earlier applied colors, leaving inconspicuous squares of original paint as evidence. The result is a bizarre and gaudy figure with much gold trim, quite in keeping with the attention-seeking flair of the self-titled “Lord” Timothy, as well as an outstanding restoration of an American masterpiece of folk carving. In the division of numismatics, all the United States bronze and silver coins on exhibit were mounted in tightly closed boxes, made of clear cellulose triacetate K IV, that provide an airtight enclosure and should prevent noticeable corrosion or tarnishing. ‘The boxes are attached to the display panel with a recently developed fastener consisting of two strips of woven nylon tape, one covered with a row of stiff nylon hooks and the other with tiny, soft nylon loops. When the strips are pressed together the hooks and loops engage to create a secure and easily removable fastener. Most of the foreign silver coins and medals on display could not be suitably enclosed in such boxes because of extreme variations in diameter and thickness. To prevent tarnishing these specimens were given i. protective coating, which proved satisfactory. The program of regrouping stamps in new stockbooks in the division of philately and postal history is being continued. Specialty and reference collections have been maintained intact, and the albums stored with the stockbooks according to country for easy identification. The philatelic and historic collection of covers has been started with several transfers of material from The Library of Congress. More than 4,500 covers have been added to the collection, many of which are to be used in the new “History of the Posts” exhibit. Armed Forces History Substantial progress was made in the restoraticn of objects in the collections. The program of repairing and cleaning firearms and other military equipment progressed satisfactorily. Renovation of the ship and half model collections continued at an accelerated rate. Under the direction of Dr. Philip K. Lundeberg, 25 half models were restored, including a plank-on-frame model of the frigate Constitution, a frame model of the 74-gun ship OAzo, a squirrel cage model of the 120-gun ship Pennsylvania, a lift model of the sloop-of-war ITartford, and a decorative model of the monitor AZonadnock. Old, wet wood recovered from underwater shipwreck sites is being preserved with polyethylene glycol, an inert, water-soluble material <<>> which penetrates and fills the cells of the wet wood, and supports them when the wood dries cut. In the higher molecular weights this substance 1s a white solid of waxlike consistency. Wood recovered from salt water should, upon drying out, retain its original shape if treated by the following routine: 1. The wet specimen from sea water is soaked in a bath of fresh water, renewed every four hours. 2. When the fresh water no longer shows the presence of chlorides through the silver nitrate test, the wood is placed in a solution of one part polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 1,500) to one part hot distilled water. 3. The specimen is left in the solution until it sinks, indicating complete saturation. <<>> Investigation and Research Museum of Natural History In the newly opened North American archeology hall, Indian remains from western North America include a mummy bundle from an Aleutian island burial cave. Chumash Indians (right) are depicted roughing out bowls and quarrying soapstone on Catalina Island, off California. Anthropology Late in 1960, preparatory to retirement, former head curator Frank M. Setzler turned cver to C. Malcolm Watkins, curator of cultural history, the draft of his report on archeological excavations carried out in 1956 at the site of the colonial town of Marlborough, near the point bearing that name on Potomac Neck, in Stafford County, Va. Mr. Watkins will integrate the account with his own studies carried out at this interesting colonial site and with others on the historical documents relating thereto to produce a unified report for publication. After taking over the head curatorship, Dr. T. Dale Stewart completed a manuscript on Neanderthal cervical vertebrae, with special attention to the Shanidar Neanderthals from Iraq. As the work <<>> Prehistoric Indian basketry and textiles of the American Southwest. Large round basketry shield is one of three or four known to exist. progressed he found it necessary to borrow from the Peabody Museum of Harvard University the original cervical vertebrae of the Skhul V Neanderthal from Mount Carmel in Palestine. The Skhul-Shanidar cervical spines are the most complete thus far recovered from ancient times. In general the neck vertebrae of the Neanderthals are not as different from those of modern man as earlier studies had indicated. Archeology.—Dr. Waldo R. Wedel, curator of archeology, made some headway in the preparation of field reports on the 1952 investigations by the Smithsonian Institution and Princeton University at the Horner site near Cody, Wyo., and of the report on field work for the River Basin Surveys in 1951, and again in 1955-57, in Stanley County, S. Dak. In addition, he completed for publication in a dedicatory pamphlet projected by the Museum of the Great Plains, Lawton, Okla., a paper on some archeological problems in the Great Plains, and began work on a paper dealing with the High Plains and their utilization by the Indian, essentially an ecological study of native man and environment in the heart of what was once known as the Great American Desert. He also read proof on his book, “Prehistoric Man on the Great Plains,” being published by the University of Oklahoma Press. Early in the year, as a result of the discovery near Littleton, Colo., of a late Pleistocene bone bed with possible human associations, <<>> Dr. Wedel, in conjunction with Dr. C. Lewis Gazin, curator of vertebrate paleontology, developed plans to explore the site. Field work was initiated in June, with museum aide George Metcalf conducting the field operations. During the summer of 1960 associate curator Clifford Evans and his wife, honorary research associate Betty J. Meggers, attended the 34th International Congress of Americanists in Vienna, Austria, and the 6th International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences in Paris, France, reporting on the results of their recent research. Before and after the congresses, they studied South Ameriean archeological collections in museums in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, and France. While in France Drs. Evans and Meggers also visited the following sites of the Paleolithic period: Lascaux, Laugerie Haute, Laugerie Basse, Combarelles, Abri de Cap Blane, Les Eyzies, Abee Pichaud, and Le Moustier. The obsidian dating project, under Dr. Evans’ supervision, got under way in September when Dr. Donavan Clark arrived from Stanford University to assume the position of research assistant in the division of archeology. Since then Dr. Clark has examined and measured the hydration layers in over 600 specimens from various parts of the world. Drs. Evans and Meggers continued their study of the cultural sequences of Coastal Ecuador in conjunction with Emilio Estrada, Director of the Museo Arqueolégico “Victor Emilio Estrada,” of Guayaquil, Ecuador, who was in Washington during parts of March and April. Associate curator Gus W. Van Beek developed plans for a program of research in South Arabian culture history, involving an expedition to depart for Arabia in the fall of 1961. Accordingly much time during the spring was spent in organizing the expedition, selecting equipment, and making necessary arrangements with the various officials of the area in which the investigations will take place. Dr. Van Beek continued work on a monograph entitled “Hajar Bin Humeid,” which will be the final report on the excavation of the South Arabian site of that name and will contain the first pottery chronology of the area. He also collaborated in the preparation of a report on a squeeze of a South Arabian stamp seal discovered in the collections of the Vienna Academy by Dr. Albert Jamme, research professor, Catholic University of America. The stamp seal from which the squeeze Exhibits worker (top) applying detail to map locating sites of prehistoric Eskimo cultures in the Arctic. Among the decorated artifacts (bottom) are knives, handles, harpoon heads, and figurines made of walrus ivory. They illustrate the various art styles around Bering Strait from 300 BC to AD 1000. <<>> <<>> was made is virtually identical to a stamp found in Palestine in 1957 and jointly published by Drs. Van Beek and Jamme. Museum aide George Metcalf made considerable progress on the analysis of data in connection with the preparation of a monograph on the Davis Creek site in central Nebraska. Honorary research associate Neil M. Judd continued his research on the archeological materials from Chaco Canyon, N. Mex., which he collected years ago for the National Geographic Society. Physical anthropology.—From the first of June until the latter part of August, curator T. Dale Stewart participated in a jointly sponsored Columbia University-Smithsonian Institution expedition to Iraq. Between June 3, the date of his arrival in Baghdad, and July 16, when he departed for Shanidar in northern Iraq, Dr. Stewart spent most of his time in the Iraq Museum restoring and studying the skull and associated vertebrae of Shanidar II, the Neanderthal found in 1957 about 23 feet below the present floor of the cave at Shanidar and thus suggesting an age of around 60,000 years. From July 18 to August 15 he aided in the recovery and removal of three new Neanderthal skeletons from the cave. Study of the new finds could not be undertaken this year and will require a return visit to the country. However, Dr. Stewart was able before leaving Baghdad to prepare a description of the Shanidar II skull for publication in Sumer. Before leaving for Iraq Dr. Stewart amplified a paper he had read at the annual meeting of the American Association of Physical Anthropologists in 1959. This had to do with the unusual morphology of the mastoid region in the Shanidar I Neanderthal and the possibility of deducing therefrom that the Swanscombe skull fragments from England, attributed to the last interglacial period, had the same structures and therefore likely the same primitive appearance of the face. The research of associate curator Marshall T. Newman included the preparation of papers on such topics as evolutionary changes in body size and head form in American Indians, the physiology of Middle American Indians, the biological adaptation of man to his environment, generalizations on phenotypic and genotypic differences among American Indians, and ecology and nutritional stress in man. These papers were presented at various symposia and seminars. Dr. Newman also completed two chapters of his Vicos monograph, which involved the recasting of the metric data and the analyzing of eight blood group systems. Not only did this relate to the Quechua Indians of Vicos but to other Indians for which suitable data are available. At the end of the year he was preparing to return to Peru for his final field study at Vicos. <<>> Lounge, with a view of the Mall, provides a place for changing topical exhibits in the new hall of North American archeology, and a change of pace for Museum visitors. Anthropological aide Lucile E. Hoyme visited the laboratories of the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, N.Y., in November. While there she consulted with the staff, and with W. S. Cornwell in particular, on various radiographic problems that arise in the course of her work in the division and received intensive instruction in hew radiographic techniques. Ethnology.—Curator Saul H. Riesenberg was occupied throughout the year with planning for the new ethnological halls. Also, he served as convener of the symposium on ethnohistory of the 10th Pacific Science Congress, scheduled to meet in Honolulu in August— September 1961. In this capacity he arranged for the participation of yarlous persons from several nations and for the editing and publishing in a scientific journal of all papers to be presented. Associate curator Gordon D. Gibson spent most of the year in ethnological field work and in collecting among the Herero of southwest Africa and Bechuanaland. He was on his way home via Europe at the close of the year. Associate curator Eugene I. Knez, like Dr. Riesenberg, was mainly occupied this year with exhibit problems. However, he was able to complete for publication a preliminary paper on mutual aid groups of <<>> Korea. Also he continued his research pertaining to change in Korean village technology. Research by visiting investigators.—Among the distinguished visitors and scientists who utilized the collections and other resources of the department of anthropology in furthering their research were the following: Carlos Zevallos Menendez, Casa de la Cultura Niucleo del Guyas, Guayaquil, Ecuador; Naotune Watanabe, Shozo Masudo, and Namio Egami, University of Tokyo, Japan; John Murra, Vassar College; José Rafael Arboleda, Universidad Javeriana, Bogota, Colombia; Luis Aveleyra Arroyo de Anda, Museo Nacional, Mexico; Frederico Engel, Institute of Prehistoric Archeology, Lima, Peru; Hansjurgen Miiller-Beck, Historiska Museum, Bern, Switzerland; Artur Hehl Neiva, Catholic University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Edward V.

His bulletin on the parasitic weaverbirds was published, and the latest of this series of monographs, “Host Relations of the Parasitic Cowbirds,” was accepted for publication by the National Museum. Mammals.—Curator David H. Johnson continued to study the mammals of the southeastern Asiatic and Pacific Ocean areas, and <<>> in addition he began a survey of the existing specimens and records of mammals collected by the United States Exploring Expedition of 1838-1842. Brief visits to Philadelphia in September and to Boston, New York, and Philadelphia in March were devoted to these projects. Associate curator Henry W. Setzer continued to identify and report on the mammals collected in Egypt and adjacent countries by U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 3. A paper describing two new Egyptian mammals was published. From early March until mid-May, Dr. Setzer participated in the Smithsonian-Collins Expedition to Libya, which was organized and led by Robert L. Pomeroy and Alan C. Collins. The party traveled overland from Benghazi by way of Cufra Oasis to Faya in northern Tchad, investigated the little-known Tibesti Mountains on the Libyan-Tchad frontier, and returned to the Mediterranean coast by way of Sebha Oasis. In all, the party traveled about 5,000 miles, and Dr. Setzer obtained a valuable collection of mammals. Enroute to join the expedition, he spent three days in early March at the British Museum (Natural History) in London, comparing type specimens of various European and African mammals. Associate curator Charles O. Handley, Jr., continued his taxonomic studies of mammals from the Neotropical region and from the southeastern United States. He also completed a manuscript on the marine mammals of the Middle Atlantic coast of the United States. Birds.—Curator Herbert G. Deignan read proof of his bulletin on the type specimens of birds in the National Museum, published this year, and of his checklist of the birds of Thailand. Bernard R. Feinstein, museum aide, spent the year in South Vietnam collecting with an expedition jointly conducted by the Bernice P. Bishop Museum of Honolulu and the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command. Dr. Alexander Wetmore, honorary research associate and former Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, resumed his field studies in Panama from January to April and continued the study of his Panamanian and Colombian collections. Reptiles and amphibians.—Curator Doris M. Cochran and Dr. C. J. Goin, of the University of Florida, continued their studies on Colombian frogs and published the description of a new genus and species in connection with those studies. Her Museum bulletin “Type Specimens of Reptiles and Amphibians in the U.S. National Museum,” was published. Fishes—Curator Leonard P. Schultz and Dr. Carl L. Hubbs, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, completed a study of the nomenclature of the nominal genus Oregonichthys and the blennioid fish, Pholis schultz. With Dorothea B. Schultz and Randy Mardres, 609091—61——6 <<>> the curator supervised the preparation of additional microscope slide sections of fossil shark teeth as a preliminary to the proposed study of fossil shark teeth of Chesapeake Bay as compared with the teeth of living sharks. With Dr. Lachner, he continued the preparation of the third and final volume of “Fishes of the Marshall and Marianas Islands.” Dr. Schultz has also directed several continuing programs dealing with sharks: Dr. Carter R. Gilbert has nearly completed a revision of the hammerhead sharks, genus Sphyrna; Mrs. Marilyn Malin has assisted in the preparation of a documented file of shark attacks throughout the world, and one paper, in collaboration with Dr. Perry W. Gilbert and Stewart Springer, on attacks during 1959 was completed during the fiscal year; Dr. Victor G. Springer is revising the sharks related to the genus Scoliodon; and Dr. J. A. F. Garrick has started a revision of the carcharhinid sharks of the Indo-Pacific region. Associate curator Ernest A. Lachner, with Dr. Earl E. Deubler, Jr., completed a nomenclatural study of the rosyside dace of eastern North America. Dr. Lachner has also completed the manuscript on the family Echeneidae and has nearly finished the manuscripts on the families Gobiidae, Eleotridae, and Taenioididae for the final volume of the “Fishes of the Marshall and Marianas Islands,” referred to above. He has continued his study of the diskfishes, order Kcheneiformes, and his revisions of the cardinal fishes, family Apogonidae, and of the goatfishes, family Mullidae. Associate curator William R. Taylor has completed the manuscript on the fishes of the Arnhem Land Expedition of 1948 and has submitted it for publication in Australia. He has also essentially completed his revision of the North American catfishes of the genus Noturus. Insects.—Curator J. F. Gates Clarke delivered an invitational paper on host specificity in certain moths at the XI International Congress of Entomology held in Vienna in August. Several visits to the Vienna Museum afforded the opportunity to examine and study numerous types of Neotropical Microlepidoptera in connection with researches being conducted on that fauna. While in Europe, Dr. Clarke also took advantage of the opportunity to study for a month at the British Museum (Natural History), where many types of the same group were examined. His continuing work on the Meyrich types of Microlepidoptera has progressed well during the year; proof has been read on volume four, and more than 200 plates have been completed for volume five. Dr. Clarke’s research on the Neotropical] Microlepidoptera has also received a great deal of attention, and one small paper on this fauna was completed. <<>> Associate curator Oscar L. Cartwright has completed his extensive study of the genus Onthophagus (Scarabaeidae) and is continuing his research on the genus Ataenius in the same family. Species of both genera are important as suspected intermediate hosts of parasites of domestic and other animals. Associate curator Ralph E. Crabill, Jr., completed his work in European museums in August 1960, having begun this study trip im March. From February 13 to March 13, he examined typical and ordinary specimens of Chilopoda at the Museum of Comparative Zoology in connection with his study of this group of animals, concerning which several significant papers have been published. On May 31, 1961, Dr. Crabill left again for study in London, Hamburg, and Frankfurt. Associate curator William D. Field is continuing his studies on the Lycaenidae and is also working on the genus Ceramidia, a group of moths destructive to bananas. A paper in preparation on this genus is important because it proposes to provide a ready means of identifying these banana pests. Following a trip to Atlanta, Ga., in June in connection with the acquisition of a collection, Mr. Field undertook a visit to the mountainous regions of North and South Carolina to conduct field work on Rhopalocera. Associate curator Oliver S. Flint, Jr., is engaged in research on the immature stages of the Trichoptera (caddis flies), and he is acquiring much needed material to fill the many gaps in our collection. In addition to week-end field trips to procure material, Dr. Flint, in May 1961, visited Cornell University, obtaining more than 200 specimens of Neotropical species for study, and from June 3 to 10, conducted field investigations in the vicinity of Highlands, N.C., an area in which are many relic forms and one from which we have nothing of this group in the national collection. Marine Invertebrates.—Curator Fenner A. Chace, Jr., completed his joint manuscript with Harry Pederson and the late Conrad Limbaugh on the fish-cleaning habits and life color patterns of six species of caridean and stenopodidean shrimps. Associate curator Frederick M. Bayer has completed the revision and correction of the second page proof of his handbook of shallowwater West Indian octocorals now in press in the Netherlands. Associate curator Thomas E. Bowman, in collaboration with Z. Kabata, of the Marine Laboratory at Aberdeen, Scotland, completed a manuscript reassigning the lernaeopodoid copepod Z'racheliastes grandis Wilson to the genus Vanbenedenia, as asynonym of V. hroyeri Malmgren, based upon a thorough redescription of Wilson’s holotype specimen. He has brought to virtual completion the description of a new species of the copepod genus 77she, including an account of its <<>> developmental stages reared in the divisional laboratory. Finally, he has made some progress upon his study of the calanoid copepods collected off the southeastern coast of the United States by the M/V Theodore N. Gill. Associate curator Charles E. Cutress, Jr., began a report on the sea anemones of Port Phillip Bay, Australia, and continued his study of the sea anemones of the Chatham Islands Expedition of 1954. Mrs. LaNelle W. Peterson, museum aide, in addition to her other duties, has made steady progress in the preparation of a catalogue of the octocorallian type specimens contained in the museum’s collections; this study has been of unexpected value by bringing to light more than 90 lots of type material that had been improperly incorporated in the general study collections. She has also thoroughly reorganized and completed the locality records included in a major manuscript on Pacific tunicates in the national collections recently prepared by Takasi Tokioka, of the Seto Marine Biological Laboratory, Japan. J. Percy Moore, honorary research associate, now in his 93rd year, continues his research activities in spite of many obstacles. He writes that “research on leeches has continued actively but with limitations imposed by certain personal problems. Most attention was given to large collections submitted by the U.S. National Museum and Tulane University, supplemented by other small lots of leeches of our southern Gulf states. While a large body of notes and drawings is on hand, further studies will be made before a manuscript will be prepared.” A few months ago, Dr. Moore’s laboratory was vandalized and the results of many years of study destroyed or severely damaged, a blow that would have felled many a younger man. However, he advises us that some progress has been made toward the restoration and identification of whole mounts and serial sections that were intermixed, broken, or otherwise damaged, although he expects that “it will take most of my remaining life to restore them.” During the year he completed an account of his personal recollections of Joseph Leidy, whom he knew from boyhood days, to be published by the American Society of Zoologists in a volume on distinguished zoologists. Mildred S. Wilson, honorary research associate, has completed in collaboration with J.C. Tash a manuscript on the life cycles of calanoid copepods in shallow lakes of the Cape Thompson region, Alaska, and she has begun a manuscript on copepods of Nuwuk Peninsula, Point Jarrow, Alaska. In addition, she has continued to make progress on her monograph of the fresh-water calanoid copepods of North America, a long range study. Horton H. Hobbs, Jr., honorary research associate, has completed, with H. Hf. Hobbs, IIT, a paper describing a new crayfish of the genus <<>> Cambarus from Georgia. In addition, he has undertaken (with P. C. Holt and Margaret Walton) an intensive survey of the crayfishes and their commensal associates in the region of Mountain Lake, Va., made further progress on a manuscript (with T. C. Barr) dealing with troglobitic crayfishes of the genus Orconectes, continued work on a paper describing the ostracods of the genus H’ntocythere from Mexico and Cuba, and another (with A. Villalobos) on crayfishes from Cuba, and nearly completed a manuscript on troglobitic ostracods of the genus Entocythere (with C. W. Hart). He has also found time to identify approximately 1,000 specimens for other persons and to make a collecting trip into West Virginia, southern Ohio, and Kentucky, during which he obtained about 500 additional specimens for his study collection. He reports that his collection has increased by some 3,000 specimens through gifts. Dr. L. B. Holthuis, curator of Crustacea at the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden, The Netherlands, during a temporary appointment to Smithsonian rolls under the program of systematic studies on Pacific marine animals, reached an advanced stage in his monographic study of seyllarid and palinurid lobsters and completed a manuscript describing the new species involved, before returning to his permanent post. Mrs. Beatrice L. Burch, general systematic zoologist on temporary appointment under the Pacific program, has completed an inventory of the unidentified Indo-Pacific marine invertebrates contained in our collections, amounting to 23,000 lots containing over 200,000 specimens and representing 64 major invertebrate groups. As usual, a large share of the burden of marine invertebrate identification services was borne by collaborating specialists in other institutions, in most cases for no more recognition than a word of thanks. This year, 26 specialists have agreed to identify material of several invertebrate groups which owing to limitation of staff and time could not be handled within the division. The individuals listed below have received 35 shipments containing 1,931 specimens: Dr. M. Bacescu: mysidacean crustaDr. R. U. Gooding: copepod crustaceans. ceans. Dr. E. H. Grainger: starfishes.

Yeatman: copepod cruscrustaceans. taceans. Mollusks.—Curator Harald A. Rehder devoted most of his research time to work on the Indo-Pacific marine molluscan fauna, starting with a study of the family Tellinidae of the area. In addition, he completed a number of smaller papers, one on the Pleistocene mollusks of Grand Cayman, and another on the status of the generic name Nucella. In October, Dr. Rehder joined a party of scientists who conducted a survey of Jaluit Atoll in the southern Marshall Islands; he spent six days studying the malacclogical collections in the Bernice P. Bishop Museum in Honolulu and ten days, from October 20 to 29, on Jaluit, collecting a representation of the marine molluscan fauna and studying the ecology of the reefs. In connection with the Museum’s program of study of Pacific marine animals, Dr. Joseph Rosewater, under the direction of Dr. Rehder, has completed a monograph of the family Pinnidae and has initiated studies on the families Tridacnidae and Littorinidae. Associate curator Joseph P. E. Morrison continued his studies of the family Melampidae and of certain brackish water genera of the Mactridae. He also presented, at the meetings of the American Malacological Union, in Montreal, a paper on the bivalved gastropods of the family Julidae.

Swallen arranged for a reprinting, by the Smithsonian Institution, of Standley’s “Trees and Shrubs of Mexico,” a standard work which has been out of print for more than a quarter century. Phanerogams.—Cwator Lyman B. Smith prepared a paper on plant migrations as a part of his studies of the phytogeography of southern Brazil. He continued the study of his collections from Santa Catarina along with further large collections from Padre Raulino Reitz, director of the Herbario Barbosa Rodrigues. Dr. Smith constructed keys for his monograph of the Bromeliaceae, covering about two-thirds of the more than 1,800 species. He prepared a treatment of the Bromeliaceae of the Guayana Highland, and, with Dr. Bassett Maguire of the New York Botanical Garden, a similar treatment of the Xyridaceae. Associate curator E. C. Leonard continued the preparation of a Flora of Hispaniola, correcting the locality data for the Dominican Xepubhie collections in line with numerous recent changes in the delimitations of the provinces. He also completed an index to all the grasses of Hispaniola. Mr. Leonard has resumed work on the Acanthaceae of Peru for the Chicago Natural History Museum, completing the revision of the genus M/endoncia. Associate curator Velva E. Rudd nearly completed her revision of American Ormosia and expects to have it ready for publication scon. She continued assembling data for a floristic treatment of the papilio <<>> INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH Sl nate legumes of Mexico. Dr. Rudd attended the “Primer Congreso Mexicano de Botanica,” where she presented a paper on the Mexican species of Ormosia. She also participated in the excursion of the Congress, making a brief reconnaissance survey of the vegetation along a coast to coast transect. Associate curator Richard S. Cowan continued his monographic studies of the genus Swartzia, completing a key to all species and descriptions for nearly all. He completed and published his studies of the Leguminosae collected in the Guayana Highland by Dr. Bassett Maguire and others, and finished a short paper on miscellaneous novelties in the Leguminosae. Associate curator John J. Wurdack completed a detailed treatment of the Melastomataceae of Santa Catarina, Brazil, including 13 genera and 116 species. He continued his studies of the Melastomataceae of the Guayana Highland with the aim of publishing a complete treatment, and prepared descriptions of miscellaneous novelties in the same family from other parts of tropical America. Dr. A. C. Smith, Director of the Museum of Natural History, resumed his work on southwestern Pacific plants by revising, in collaboration with research assistant Benjamin C. Stone, the genus Geniostoma (Loganiaceae) in that area. Progress was also made on the families Araliaceae and Guttiferae, and Dr. Stone conducted independent work on Pandanaceae, Rutaceae, and other groups. Dr. José Cuatrecasas, research associate, continued his studies on the flora of Colombia. He completed a monograph of the genus 7’heobroma (cacao) and continued the preparation of a revision of Colombian Compositae consisting of approxiamtely 800 species. Dr. Kittie F. Parker, honorary research associate, furthered her studies of western and Mexican Compositae. Grasses.—Head curator Jason R. Swallen continued his studies of the grasses of southern Brazil. He also prepared a key to the genera of grasses of Mexico, to be included in a book on Mexican grasses, at the request of Dr. Efraim Hernandez. Two other short papers describing new species and several book reviews were written on request. Dr. Thomas R. Soderstrom, assistant curator, prepared a treatment of the species of Wuhlenbergia at one time referred to the genus E’picampes. Mrs. Agnes Chase, honorary research associate, continued her work on the comprehensive catalogue of grass genera and species. Dr. F. A. McClure, honorary research associate, advanced his studies on the bamboos. He completed the manuscript cards of the genera of the Bambusoideae for the “Index Nominum Genericorum,” and furthered his treatment of the bamboo genera of the world for the <<>> new edition of “Die Natiirlichen Pflanzenfamilien.” He prepared an article on “Bamboo” published in the Encyclopaedia Britannica and another entitled “Toward a fuller description of the Bambusoideae” to be published in the Kew Bulletin. Ferns.—Curator Conrad VY. Morton continued with the study of the ferns of tropical America, particularly with the genera blechnum, Gleichenia, and Dicranopteris, for which revisions of the Andean species are well under way. During the summer of 1960 he spent two weeks in study in Europe, at the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, the British Museum (Natural History), and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England, where a number of type specimens and other interesting material were studied. During these visits he also examined material of some phanerogamic genera, notably Solanum and Colummea. Cryptogams.—Dr. Mason E. Hale, associate curator in charge, continued work on a monographic revision of the lichen genus Parmelia in the Western Hemisphere. The collections that he made in Mexico were chemically tested and identified, and large miscellaneous collections from various herbaria were studied. Michael Wirth, a former graduate student at Harvard University, was engaged for ten months as a research assistant and carried out much of the routine work. Dr. Hale’s “Lichen Handbook,” was published by the Smithsonian Institution as a companion work to Agnes Chase’s “Handbook of Grasses,” which the Institution recently reprinted. 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. Assistant curator Robert Ireland continued work on a long term project of writing a moss flora for Virginia. He also studied the moss collections made by Dr. Hale in Mexico, and started a detailed study of several species of the moss genus Atrichum. Woods.—Curator William L. Stern made a brief anatomical survey of the woods of Theobroma, the genus to which cacao belongs, in conjunction with a taxonomic study of the genus by Dr. José Cuatrecasas. Much of his time was taken up in the organization and curatorial work of the newly created division. For the purposes of examining facilities, observing collections, and arranging for exchanges, he visited various similar laboratories. Research by visiting investigators.—Dr. Oscar Tovar, of the University of San Marcos, Lima, Peru, completed his work on the grasses of the Central Andes and returned to Peru early in December. Tuguo Tateoka, National Institute of Genetics, Misima, Japan, spent <<>> several days at the herbarium examining specimens of critical genera of grasses. Mrs. E. R. Faithorn, Annapolis, Md., spent a day each week through the year studying diatoms. More than 1,000 visitors made use of the National Herbarium and its facilities to advance their research projects or to gather information on a variety of subjects. Among them were: Clair Brown, Louisiana State University; Carl Epling and Harlan Lewis, University of California, Los Angeles; Lincoln Constance, University of California, Berkeley ; George R. Proctor, The Institute of Jamaica; H. HE. Moore, Jr., Bailey Hortorium; A. J. Sharp, University of Tennessee; R. K. Godfrey, Florida State University; Richard A. Howard, Dr. and Mrs. Rolla M. Tryon, Jr., Miss Edith Scamman, and Kenneth A. Wilson, Harvard University; C. B. Heiser, Jr., Indiana University; Richard W. Holm, Stanford University; Bassett Maguire and H. W. Rickett, New York Botanical Garden; Hdgar T. Wherry, University of Pennsylvania; A. H. Smith, University of Michigan; Vernon Ahmadjian, Clark University; Margaret Green, Candler, N.C.; Grace Howard, University of Washington; K. Mosbach, Lund, Sweden; T.

Abbe, University of Minnesota; Ken Shimaji, University of Tokyo; Oswald Tippo, University of Colorado; Lester Holdridge, Costa Rica; C. Earle Smith, Chicago Natural History Museum; and B. Francis Kukachka, Forest Products Laboratory. As in the past, staff members of various Government agencies, especially the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture, made use of the facilities of the National Herbarium in their work. Geology Mineralogy and petrology.—Curator George S. Switzer completed his annual review of the diamond industry and continued work on a long-term research project on the sulfate and related minerals. In August a 10-day period was spent collecting in southern Norway, where interesting and valuable series of minerals were obtained for the national collections. During his European visit Dr. Switzer participated in the International Geological Congress and the second general session of the International Mineralogical Association in Copenhagen. Associate curator Paul E. Desautels continued to work on a mineralized vein at Centreville, Va., and on the lead oxychloride minerals of Laurium, Greece. During the year he made collecting trips to Illinois and New Jersey, and in January he was elected president of the Mineralogical Society of the District of Columbia. Roy S. Clarke, Jr., chemist in the division, continued work on tektites from Georgia and the single specimen from Martha’s Vine <<>> Tn the Glass Mountains of Texas, as in many other places in the world, limestove : deposits contain silicified fossils, When saeicne Meee : placed in weak acid the Hmestone dissolves ssesiprhdiledeephantar dantertaaees haan : readily: bat the fossils, which are protected See een by or altered to insoluble silica (a major in. gredicni of glass}, are anaffected.

A completely satisfactory interpretation of these data has not been possible, and related studies are in progress. In addition, Mr. Clarke continued work on a long-range study of the solubility of calcium borate minerals. The research of associate curator E. P. Henderson continued to be centered on meteorites and tektites. The acceleration of accessions in these areas during the year greatly improves the national collections as a source of future research material. Invertebrate paleontology and paleobotany.—During the year substantial progress was made by most members of the division. Head curator G. A. Cooper, accompanied by museum aide Henry B. Roberts and Dr. Druid Wilson, of the U.S. Geological Survey, spent two days at Hampton, Va., searching for Miocene invertebrate fossils with Mr. George Webb, a local collector who guided the party. A large collection of exceptionally fine mollusks, some new to the national collection, was obtained. Dr. Cooper and research assistant Richard E. Grant have made excellent progress on their Glass Mountains brachiopod studies. To date they have described 459 species belonging to 109 genera, of which 32 genera are new. The manuscript now totals 2336 pages. At the close of the fiscal year Dr. Cooper and Dr. Grant were conducting field work in New Mexico, Texas, and adjacent States, collecting invertebrate fossils and studying Pennsylvanian and Permian strata in the Glass, Chinati, and Guadalupe Mts. Dr. Cooper was elected president of the Geological Society of Washington in December. Dr. Richard S. Boardman, associate curator in charge of the division, continued work on the revision of the genera of Paleozoic trepostomatous bryozoans. Study photographs, revised generic concepts, and sorting of thin sections have been completed for 14 genera and the included species. Dr. Boardman spent July, August, and part of September collecting lower Paleozoic fossils in Sweden. The collections made will provide the Museum with good reference collections to compare with American faunas. He also took advantage of this European trip to attend the International Geological Congress in Copenhagen. Associate curator Porter M. Kier has completed his monograph on the cassiduloid echinoids. In June 1960 he visited Europe to study specimens in museums in Paris, Geneva, Basel, Liege, London, and Cambridge. He photographed many type specimens, which will be published in the monograph. This restudy of type specimens has shown that many of the species have been inaccurately described and has revealed several evolutionary trends, thus resulting in a new and <<>> more natural classification. In addition to other projects, Dr. Kier is working on the redescription of the Paleozoic echinoids from Belgium. These echinoids were described in 1929 by R. T. Jackson. However, the specimens were not completely cleaned and many important features were therefore not described. As this fauna of Paleozoic echinoids is the largest in the world, 25 species, its redescription should prove of interest. All specimens have been cleaned, photographed, and described, and the manuscript is approaching completion. Dr. Kier joined Dr. Druid Wilson, of the U.S. Geological Survey, on a collecting trip in Alabama and Georgia in April. Many Paleocene and Eocene echinoids were collected, including one large slab, covered with many sand dollars, now exhibited in the new hall of fossils. Associate curator Richard Cifelli accompanied Dr. Ralph Imlay, of the U.S. Geological Survey, to the western interior of the country and collected Foraminifera from the key Jurassic sections. In August, November, January, and May, Dr. Cifelli made collections of pelagic Foraminifera from plankton hauls between Woods Hole and Bermuda. This is a project conducted in cooperation with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, to study the seasonal variation of pelagic Foraminifera. In April and May, Dr. Cifelli was aboard the Woods Hole research vessel Chain on a cruise to the eastern equatorial Atlantic. Scientists on the ship made plankton hauls between Bermuda and the equator, took five bottom cores, and collected several bottom samples. These are very important collections because they come from a remote, not easily accessible part of the world. The Foraminifera from these collections will be studied in cooperation with Woods Hole. Dr. Cifelli is preparing for publication a study of the morphology and internal structure of Streblus beccarti (Linné). This is a key species in the classification of a large group of Foraminifera and its internal structure has been misinterpreted, affecting the classification of the group. The sampling program for the seasonal variation study of pelagic Foraminifera was completed this year, all material has been examined, and preliminary identifications of species have been made. Dr. Erle G. Kauffman, associate curator, completed a major study of Mesozoic paleontology, stratigraphy, and paleoecology in southcentral Colorado, started before he joined the Museum. He plans to publish the work in sections in the Journal of Paleontology and the Bulletin of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. Dr. Kauffman has also initiated a broad program of study on the pelecypod genus Znoceramus in North America, primarily concerned with the formation of a working species concept, redefinition of the existing species, description of new forms, and biostratigraphic zonation. <<>> Reconstruction of Cambrian black-mud sea bottom of 500 million years ago.

Large collections of fossil plants were made, but vertebrate and invertebrate fossils were not discovered in the lower Tertiary sediments examined. During the fall, many of the classical Maryland Upper Cretaceous localities were revisited and extensive invertebrate faunas collected. This is part of a restudy of the Maryland Cretaceous stratigraphy and invertebrate paleontology now under way by several workers. Museum aide Henry B. Roberts completed a manuscript on the fossil and Recent decapod crustaceans from Marshall Island bore holes, to be published by the U.S. Geological Survey. He 1s also working on a new species of decapod crustacean of the genus Retrocypoda that is the first record of the genus in the United States. Dr. C. Wythe Cooke, honorary research associate, is continuing his studies on the Mesozoic and Tertiary Echinoidea, and R. S. Bassler, honorary research associate, is continuing his study of leperditid ostracods. Dr. Allison R. Palmer, of the U.S. Geological Survey, was attached to the department for a month while visiting museums and universities in Australia; he brought back beautifully prepared casts of important Cambrian trilobites which will make a valuable addition to the Museum’s trilobite collection. Vertebrate paleontology.—Curator C. Lewis Gazin has advanced his investigation of the lower Eocene mammalian faunas of the Knight formation, having completed study of all but one of the thirteen orders of mammals then extant. Only the Perissodactyla, a relatively large and diversified group as early as Eocene time, remains to be reviewed. A part of this study concerned with sciuravid rodents was abstracted and submitted for publication separately in order to place on record more promptly certain new genera and species. The Knight investigation is supplemental to a report published in 1952 and is based on later, more extensive collections from a variety of localities representing successive horizons in the lower Eocene of Wyoming. Dr. Gazin completed a report on the occurrences of Paleocene Mammalia in various Tertiary basins of deposition in Wyoming for the guidebook of the 1961 field conference of the Wyoming Geological Association. In this were discussed the history of exploration and research, the results of faunal studies, and the evidence on which correlations have been made between basins and with regions outside the State. Tn connection with his general study of early Tertiary mammals, Dr. Gazin spent the early part of this year and the latter part of the preceding year reviewing and studying collections in the principal natural history museums of Europe. This included in particular <<>> detailed examination of upper Paleocene mammals from Cernay, France, in the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, and various lower Eocene to Oligocene collections in museums at Lyon, Basel, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Vienna, Brussels, and London, as well as Paris. While in Europe Dr. Gazin attended, as the delegate for the Smithsonian Institution and for the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, the meetings of the International Geological Congress held in Copenhagen in August. He also participated in an international symposium on early mammals held at the Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles, Brussels, and later attended the Sth symposium on vertebrate paleontology and comparative anatomy held at Oxford University. Associate curator David H. Dunkle interrupted his studies of Mesozoic origins of living orders of ray-finned fishes early this year in order to accept a two-year appointment with the U.S. Geological Survey, to participate in a training program in Pakistan, involving the teaching of modern research and laboratory methods in paleontology in connection with a State Department project. Associate curator Nicholas Hotton III has continued his study of Permian reptiles. He investigated the occurrence of a large Miocene baleen whale near Hampton, Va., reported to the Museum by George Webb of that city, in September. Accompanied by Dr. Frank C. Whitmore, Jr., of the U.S. Geological Survey, and Kurt F. Hauschildt, of the laboratory of vertebrate paleontology, he spent a week in the excavation of this whale, unusual for so early a stage in the Tertiary. Also, in the company of William E. Moran, formerly of our laboratory of vertebrate paleontology, he investigated localities for Mississippian tetrapods in the vicinity of Greer, W. Va., where Mr. Moran had earlier located remains of a labyrinthodont amphibian; and at Fairchance, Pa., at the Greer limestone quarry they were successful in finding remarkably good material of an embolomerous amphibian. In February, Dr. Hotton left for South Africa for an extended collecting season in the famous Karroo beds. In this work he was furnished every accommodation by Dr. A. S. Brink, of the Bernard Price Institute for Paleontological Research at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, and was helped immeasurably in the field by the Institute’s field officer, J. W. Kitching, whose knowledge of the Karroo region is second to none. Considerable success was achieved in securing many skulls and other skeletal portions of a variety of Permian and Triassic vertebrate forms, none of which were previously represented in the collections of the Museum. This work is continuing at the close of the fiscal year. <<>> Research by visiting investigators.—Among those who worked in the division of mineralogy and petrology during the year were: Paul D. Lowman, Jr., National Aeronautics and Space Administration; John D. Gassaway, George Washington University ; Alvin J. Cohen, Mellon Institute ; E. C. T. Chao, U.S. Geological Survey. Several foreign and American visitors have been working on invertebrate fossil materials: A. K. Miller, W. M. Furnish, and Richard Moyle, University of Iowa; R. C. Moore, University of Kansas; Norman D. Newell, American Museum of Natural History ; Roger Batten, University of Wisconsin ; Harry B. Whittington, Museum of Comparative Zoology; June R. P. Ross, Yale University; and Martin J. Rudwick, Cambridge University. Among those who used the collections in vertebrate paleontology were: Craig C. Black, Carnegie Museum; Mary R. Dawson, Smith College; Coleman J. Goin, University of Florida; George H. Jakway, University of Nebraska ; Hans Kaiser and Mrs. Kaiser, Hanover, West Germany; Ernest L. Lundelius, Jr., University of Texas; Robert Miller and Teruyo Uyene, University of Michigan; Bryan Patterson and A. 8.

Multhauf, head curator of the department, continued his research on the history of early chemistry. He read proof on his paper dealing with self-registering meteorological instruments. Mechanical and civil engineering.—Curator Eugene S. Ferguson has completed the editing and annotating of the book-length early engineering reminiscences of George Escol Sellers. ‘This first-person narrative, which covers the years 1815-1840, will provide scholars with important source material for the history of early mechanical and civil engineering practice in the United States and England. The detailed descriptions of machines and processes are wnique, and insights into the character and behavior of some outstanding early mechanicians are often sharp and fresh. Mr. Ferguson has also made satisfactory progress with his bibliography for the history of technology (with emphasis upon mechanical engineering), which is in <<>> tended to complement the existing bibliographies in allied fields, such as the history of science. His paper “John Ericsson and the Age of Caloric” was published by the Museum. Associate curator Edwin A. Battison, in documenting a unique 15th-century thread-cutting device in the collections, has made important progress on his paper dealing with thread-cutting lathes without gears, since 1480. Robert M. Vogel, associate curator, substantially completed a study of the 19th-century civil engineer and bridge builder, Wendell Bollman, who introduced the first iron bridge trussing system that was used consistently on an American railroad. His study of the elevator systems of the Eiffel Tower was published. Transportation.—Much research work is being done in the division of transportation to prepare plans for new exhibit models. The requirements of exhibits have necessitated an extensive research program and this will continue until the gaps are filled in the collection. Curator Howard I. Chapelle completed work on his new catalog of the watercraft collection, which was published by the Museum in November. His paper on the steamship Savannah is now in the hands of the printer. Editorial work continues on his manuscript of the bark canoes of North America, and his manuscript on Arctic skin boats has been accepted for publication by the Museum. John H. White, Jr., associate curator, has completed research on the Cincinnati locomotive builders and the first draft is about 85 percent complete. His paper on the introduction of the locomotive safety truck was in press. Electricity.—In the division of electricity long-range research includes expansion of the data and biographical files, preparation of bibliographies, accumulation of documentary material in the history of electricity, additions to the collection of electrical patents and photographs, and consolidation of the Clark collection on the history of the radio. Curator W. James King’s doctoral dissertation, on the history of 17th-century science, has been accepted by the Graduate School of Cornell University. Two of his papers on 19th-century electrical technology were in press. Medical sciences.—During the year, curator John B. Blake continued his research on the history of public health in the United States, 1900-1950. He has uncovered and published, with comments, a description of the first hypodermic syringe. He has prepared brief biographies of Lydia Folger Fowler and Mary Gove Nichols for Notable American Women, 1607-1950, a biographical dictionary being prepared under the sponsorship of Radcliffe College, and he is preparing a longer biographical article on Mrs. Gove Nichols. <<>> Associate curator Sami K. Hamarneh examined several Arabic manuscripts related to pharmacy and medicine during his trips to New Haven, Conn., Philadelphia, Pa., and Cambridge, Mass. He also advanced his research on chemical therapy and the rise of pharmacy and hospitals in Islam. He read proof on his study of alZahrawi’s 10th-century surgical treatise. Research by outside investigators—Frances Gudemann and others representing the U.S. Science Exhibit, Century 21 Exhibition (Seattle), consulted Dr. Multhauf concerning the exhibition of physical sciences. Lew Suverkrop, of Bakersfield, Calif., made a study of the Ramsden dividing engine and screw cutting lathe in connection with a research project in the history of the dividing engine. Siegfried Graebner consulted the collections on several occasions in connection with his work in preparing a classroom text of the history of surveying. Dr. Hugh Hicks, of Baltimore, Md., visited the division of electricity several times to study the collection of incandescent lamps. A number of visitors requested technical information in all fields of transportation. Arts and Manufactures Textiles—Grace L. Rogers, associate curator in charge, continued her investigation of the samplers in the museum collection in preparation for a history and catalog. In answer to a request from the Society for the History of Technology, Miss Rogers wrote an extensive review of the textile portions of the five-volume work by Charles Singer and others, “A History of Technology.” Her paper “Textiles and Textile Machines” was published in the fall, 1960, issue of Z’echnology and Culture. In December Miss Rogers examined over three hundred old sewing machines at the Singer Manufacturing Company’s Elizabethport factory. These machines, representing products of a great many 19th century companies, were found to have great historical significance. One hundred and forty-two were selected for the museum collection, several being of the earliest manufactured styles and previously unrepresented in our collection. Miss Rogers continued her work as senior adviser for the L’ncyclopaedia Britannica, reviewing twenty textile papers for technical content and writing the section on sewing machines for the 1962 printing. Museum aide Doris Bowman began a detailed study of 19thcentury sewing clamps and related needlework accessories. Information in book form is quite limited. Patent Office records, contemporary periodicals, and related journals are being investigated. The information will be used in cataloging a large collection of such implements recently donated to the textile collections. If the findings are <<>> Third section of textile hall, recently reconditioned, features a quilt exhibit case with selector dial that permits visitor to see 8 quilts in space normally required to display one. This is a sunburst quilt of about 1840. extensive, the information will be presented for publication in the form of a history and catalog. Mr. Milton Eisler, physical science technician, continued his textile laboratory work devising techniques and performing practical experiments in the safe removal of soil and stains from all types of natural fiber textiles. Experiments in determining appropriate adhesives for use in mounting fragile textiles also have been initiated. Ceramics and glass.—Paul V. Gardner, associate curator in charge, continued his research on the collections of ceramics and glass in the Museum. He has started to assemble data for a biography of Frederick Carder, founder of the Steuben Glass Works and outstanding artist in glass. <<>> Hand knitting and netting are explained and compared with machine methods in the newly opened section of the textile hall. Graphic arts.—Curator Jacob Kainen completed articles for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, on Lithography, Gravure, Collotype, Silk Screen Printing, Electrotyping, and Sepia. He also completed for the Grolier Encyclopedia articles on Engraving, Drypoit, and Lithography, and wrote a preface to an illustrated booklet, Zrving Amen: Woodcuts, published by Artists Studio, New York. An illustrated article on John Baptist Jackson was prepared for publication in The Print Council Annual. He also read proof on his monograph of Jackson, the English artist who pioneered in color printing from wood blocks in the first half of the 18th century. This study, the first full-length work on the artist, is being published by the Museum. Mr. Kainen continued to work on the Dutch engraver Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617) ; his study will examine some phases of Goltzius’ style, which had a wide influence. Mr. Kainen served as juror for an exhibition, “Trends in American Art,” at Howard University, and received first prize for his watercolor, Woman with Bird, at the 64th Annual National Exhibition of the Washington Water Color Association. Fuller O. Griffith, associate curator, completed his illustrated catalog of the lithographs of Childe Hassam (1859-1935), which have been <<>> > pL RUGS HOMEMADE, PILES Examples of rugs made by hand and machine are displayed with an explanation of the techniques used in their making. neglected, although they probably make up his most original work. Mr. Griffith served as Juror for two exhibitions of art. Associate curator Eugene Ostroff, section of photography, in cooperation with Dr. Rudolf Kingslake, director of optical design for the Eastman Kodak Co., restudied the entire collection of photographic lenses. These optics were identified and cross-indexed according to design and manufacture. Manufactures and heavy industries.—Head curator Philip W. Bishop extended his contribution to Histoire Générale des Techniques and continued his research on the history of manufacturing techniques. He also began a study of the influence of Andrew Ure (1778-1857) on American technology. During the summer he visited the Science Museum in London, the Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers, in Paris, and the Deutsches Museum, in Munich, and consulted with their officials. Dr. Charles O. Houston, Jr., associate curator, continued his work on a chronology of innovation in the coal industry. <<>> Agriculture and forest products.—In September Edward C. Kendall, associate curator in charge, visited the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, to study an extensive collection of farm steam engines and tractors dating from the 1880's to the recent past. Mr. Kendall also visited Seattle and the central part of Washington to inspect the kind of agriculture and lumbering carried on in the Northwest. At the Daniel Parrish Witter Agricultural Museum on the State Fair Grounds at Syracuse, N.Y., Mr. Kendall was able to study some interesting and rare pieces of equipment, including an Ames portable farm steam engine built in 1866 and other valuable source material on farm machines manufactured in New York State. In May Mr. Kendall and Mr. Carl Rishell, consultant to the section of forest products, visited New Orleans while the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association was meeting there. This visit resulted in many offers of cooperation and assistance from individuals and lumber firms in the development of the Forest Products Hall now being planned for the new Museum of History and Technology. Research by visiting investigators—Many visitors used the department’s collections and were aided in their work by staff members. Included were representatives of the National Geographic Society. Other visitors were: Mildred Davidson, Art Institute of Chicago; Mrs. George Weems Williams, Maryland Historical Society; Adolphe Cavallo, Boston Museum of Fine Arts; Richard Pennington, Graphic Arts Musuem of McGill University, Montreal, Canada; Norman Barbee, Howard University; R. L. Stehle and Aline Fruhauf, Washington, D.C.; Andrei A. Mylnikov and Orest G. Vereiski, of the Soviet Union, sponsored by the Committee on Leaders and Specialists of the American Council on Education; Balakrishna Sarna, Nepal; Francois Mathey, Curator of Decorative Arts, Musée du Louvre, Paris; and Gordon Hendricks, New York City. Civil History Head curator Richard H. Howland is currently engaged in two research projects concerned with architectural history: one involves the White House, the other concerns James Renwick’s original Smithsonian Institution building. Peter C. Welsh, associate curator, has completed studies on the value of patent documents to the social historian, on the correlation of popular attitudes and technical progress, and on the lithograph as a cultural document. He is continuing long range research in the United States Patent Office records. Assistant curator Arlene Krimgold has nearly brought to completion an investigation of the stained glass industry in the United States before 1900 and has completed a study of children’s games and their educational value in 19th-century America. <<>> Political history.—Curator Wilcomb E. Washburn has undertaken several studies; one, prepared for delivery at the American Indian Ethnohistoric Conference at Indiana University in November, attempts to define and justify the concept of ethnohistory. Another paper, which analyzes the origin of several seventeenth-century Indian wars, was delivered at the Eleventh Conference on Early American History held at the University of Michigan in March. A third study, of the effects of Bacon’s Rebellion on government in England and Virginia, was carried through several editorial stages prior to its scheduled publication in the coming year. Associate curator Margaret B. Klapthor continued her research on furnishings of the White House and on White House china. She completed an article on china of the Lincoln administration, and her manuscript on presentation silver in the U.S. National Museum is in press. Assistant curator Anne W. Murray continued her research on costume history and on the Copp collection. She has two articles ready for publication, one in Antiques magazine, on the apron, and another for the Z’ncyclopaedia Britannica on costume in 17thand 18th-century America. Cultural History.—Curator C. Malcolm Watkins spent five weeks in England examining 17th-century earthenwares in numerous English museums and archeological collections, in connection with his long-range study of ceramics found in colonial American sites. This has resulted in the identification and dating of many pottery types exported to the colonies, with consequent new inferences to be drawn with respect to colonial trade. In collaboration with honorary research associate Ivor Noel Hume, he has also worked on a historical archeological study of the career and products of William Rogers, Virginia’s principal potter, who worked in Yorktown in the early 18th century. His study of North Devon pottery and its export to America in the 17th century was completed and published. Associate curator John D. Shortridge has continued his catalog of the musical instrument collection and has completed, with Frank Breckenridge, a paper on the mechanics of the harpsichord jack. Rodris C. Roth, associate curator, has carried on her studies of domestic furnishings. These have proved useful to historical museums and social historians alike. Her paper on tea service in 18th-century America was published by the Museum. She is bringing to conclusion a paper on American floor coverings and has advanced another on 18thcentury fireplace equipment. She has also been working on a study of the American-made furniture displayed at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876. <<>> Research on White House china, a continuing program in the Museum, has resulted in identification of services used by various First Ladies. The gravy boat, held by associate curator Margaret Brown Klapthor, and the soup plate (right) are from a service ordered by Mrs. Lincoln in 1865. Assistant curator John N. Pearce is collaborating with the Maryland Archeological Society in the excavation of two late 18thand early 19th-century stoneware and earthenware pottery sites in Baltimore. His findings will enable him to enlarge upon his unpublished manuscript on the early Baltimore potters and their wares. Another study in progress on the trans-Atlantic culture of late 18th-century America deals with the Plhmpton sisters and their French husbands and centers upon an unusual collection of heirlooms in the National Museum from a Massachusetts family of French and New England descent. This study will demonstrate a frequent but little noted French impingement on American culture in the Federal Period. Mr. Pearce has completed articles on a Seymour desk and on New York silver 2-handled paneled bowls, and in collaboration with Professor tobert C. Smith of the University of Pennsylvania, has advanced a paper on the Meeks furniture makers. <<>> Anthony W. Hathaway, junior curator, has in draft a manuscript on patented structural elements of the pianoforte between 1800 and 1875, and has begun another on patented musical notation during the first three-quarters of the 19th century. He is also continuing a study of the structural use of iron in 19th-century St. Louis, as illustrated in the collection of iron architectural material recently transferred to the Smithsonian Institution from the National Park Service. Ivor Noél Hume, honorary research associate, has excavated a closely dated early 18th-century Virginia plantation site, artifacts from which will be of value to archeologists for purposes of comparative dating as well as being of intrinsic historical] interest. He is currently preparing a report on the excavation. Philately and postal history.——George T. Turner, associate curator in charge, continued his research on early stagecoach mail contracts, and served as Washington representative of the Hobbies Committee of the People-to-People Program. Frank J. McCall, associate curator, continued research on early Florida postal history and Hawaiian postal history of the early missionary days. He acted as philatelic advisor to the Dead Letter Office and to former Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield. Assistant curator Carl H. Scheele continues his research on United States posts. Numismatics.—Vladimir Clain-Stefanelli, associate curator in charge, progressed in his work on his dictionary of American engravers and medallists and the corpus of his work on ancient Greek coins of northern Greece. >> Armed Forces History Military history—Curator Edgar M. Howell, in conjunction with Colonel J. Duncan Campbell, completed and submitted for publication a comprehensive, critical and descriptive catalog of American military insignia, 1800-1851. His paper on Herman Steiffel, soldier-artist of the West, was published by the Museum. He prepared an annotated edition of Civil War uniform regulations illustrated with official War Department uniform photographs, which was published by the Smithsonian Institution. He also completed a biographical sketch of Harvey Dunn, the World War I combat artist, for publication by American Heritage, and a study “Early Military Insignia and American Design” for Antiques magazine. Mr. Howell, in conjunction with Colonel J. Duncan Campbell, continued archeological investigation of War of 1812 cantonment sites at Sackets Harbor, New York. A number of outstanding recoveries were made and comprehensive plans were completed for continuing investigation. Mr. Howell, again in conjunction with Colonel Campbell, located and excavated Ft. Adams (1799-1810) near Woodville, Miss., with excellent results. Associate curator Craddock R. Goins, Jr., revised and expanded portions of the script for the new hall of ordnance, and in conjunction with this added considerable data to the catalog he is preparing of the weapons collections. Additional documentation was found and included in a study being prepared by Mr. Goins on the Hall rifle and the weapons and ammunition developed by Edward Maynard. Museum aide Donald Kloster continued his study on the American usage and changes in the floral motif ‘“Rosemaling” as brought to the United States by Norwegian immigrants. Museum aide John L. Rawls, long a student of naval and military ordnance, contributed to The American Rifleman an article, “Safety with the Rifle-Musket.” Naval history.—Mendel L. Peterson, head curator of the department, made substantial progress in his study of the marking and decoration of muzzle-loading cannon, completing the collating of dates and photographs gathered during the past six years. He also continued the research associated with the underwater exploration program in the fields of preservation of materials recovered from sea water and identification of shipwreck sites through internal evidence and documents in European archives. On the basis of the investigation of the site of an early 17th century wreck site on the reefs of Bermuda, he prepared two manuscripts on materials found on that site. These are in the hands of editors and will be published this fall. <<>> Continuing his study of the development of United States naval construction, Philip K. Lundeberg, associate curator in charge of the division, began preparation of a catalog of American warship models and half models in the national collections. During the year he studied naval and maritime collections in museums, naval shipyards, and departments of naval architecture at universities on the east and west coasts. Dr. Lundeberg contributed a chapter on the Battle of the Atlantic to “The Great Sea War,” a history of naval operations during the Second World War, edited by EK. B. Potter and Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. In addition, he reviewed works on the naval history of World War II in the American Historical Review and Military Affairs. Research by visiting investigators.—Assistance was provided to other government and private agencies throughout the year. Among organizations which utilized the collections and resources of the department of armed forces history were: Heraldic Branch, Office of Quartermaster General, Department of the Army; Historical Division and Technical Intelligence Branch, Office of Chief of Ordnance, Department of the Army; Prints Division and General Reference Service, Library of Congress; Civil War and Early Wars Branch, National Archives; Division of Naval History, Department of the the Navy; United States Marine Corps Museum, Department of the Navy; National Geographic Society; and researchers from the Company of Military Collectors and Historians. <<>> Publications The scientific publications of the United States National Museum continued under the editorship of John S. Lea. In addition to the Annual Report, the Museum issued publications based on research in the national collections. Of these, 4 whole volumes and 7 papers as parts of 2 additional volumes were in the Bulletin series, 21 publications were in the Proceedings series, and 1 was in the Contributions from the National Herbarium.
