Annual Report of the Director. 363 and their contemporaries that will result in largely increased acces- sions from this source. Among the institutions with which transac- tions have been had during the past year may be mentioned the Herbarium Boissier, of Switzerland ; the Hope Botanical Gardens, of Jamaica, Kingston ; the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa ; the Hof Museum at Vienna ; the Newark Technical School ; the Univer- sity of Wisconsin ; the British Museum ; the Indian Museum at Cal- cutta ; the National Museum at Washington ; the Leland Stanford, Jr. University, and the Australian Museum, Sydney. The number of specimens sent in exchange during the year was 577, representing 23 different transactions. The number of specimens received in exchange was 5,852, representing 29 transactions. Expeditions and Field Work. — Each department of the Museum has performed valuable work in the field during the year ; valuable not alone as a contribution to science, but valuable to the Museum as regards the new material obtained thereby. The following is a list of the expeditions of the Museum since the date of the last report : Locality. Collectors. Material. West Indies, . . . . C. F. Millspaugh, . . Plants. Pacific Coast, . . . . S. E. Meek, . Southern Illinois, . . . G. A. Dorsey, Wyoming, E. S. Riggs, Winona Lake, Ind., . . S. E. Meek, . Medicine Co., Calif., . . G. A. Dorsey, Puget Sound, . . . . G. A. Dorsey, Fishes, Reptiles, etc. Quarry Shop Material. Fossils, f ishes. Ethnological Material. Ethnological Material, Quarry Stones and Casts. Vancouver Islands, . . G. A. Dorsey, . . . Plaster Casts. During April of this year, Mr. Dorsey, Curator of the Depart- ment of Anthropology, accompanied by Mr. Phillips, of Evanston, visited Mill Creek, Union County, Illinois, and collected a very large number of stone implements and rejects. More recently Mr. Dorsey visited the Pomo Indians of California, and had a most successful trip. From California he went to Tacoma, where he was joined by the modeling force, and casts of Indians of that section, intended to represent the principal aboriginal industries and customs, were obtained. From Tacoma the expedition went to Vancouver Island, for the purpose of taking of several Kwakiutl Indians casts intended for a large ceremonial group illustrating certain phases of religious life. Mr. Millspaugh, Curator of the Department of Botany, was in- vited by Mr. Allison V. Armour, one of the patrons of the Museum, to map out a cruise of the Antillean Islands calculated to best corre- 364 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. i. late the studies of the Curator in the Flora of Yucatan. The itinerary was made to include Bermuda; San Juan, Caguas, Ponce and Guanica, Porto Rico; St. Thomas, Culebras Islands, San Domingo, Jamaica, Santiago, Cayman Brae, Grand Cayman, Isle of Pines, Cozumel, Yucatan and the Alacran Shoals. Nearly 2,000 sheets of plants were secured and about 500 negatives were obtained by the photographer who accompanied the expedition. A great many notes were taken- A full report of this trip of three months is now in course of publication in the Museum series. Upon the invitation of Mr. Edward E. Ayer, Mr. Millspaugh also made a short trip to Flagstaff, Arizona, and the Canon of the Colorado River. Although the excur- sion was a hurried one, a large number of interesting specimens were collected in this region. Under appointment as Honorary Special Agent of the Department of Mines and Metallurgy of the United States Commission to the Paris Exposition of 1900, Assistant Curator Nichols spent about six weeks during the early summer in visiting the zinc and lead mining regions of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Southern Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas. About 300 specimens were thus collected, illustrating the zinc and lead ores of the regions visited, besides many choice specimens of the minerals which accompany the ores. After being exhibited at the Paris Exposition, the collection so obtained will become the property of the Museum, and will form a valuable addition to the economic collections now on hand. During the month of July an invitation was extended by officials of the Union Pacific Railroad to the Curator and assistants to join the Fossil Fields Expedition to Wyoming, then be- ing organized. While appreciating thoroughly the courtesy of this invitation, it was believed that larger results could be secured by spending the time and funds available in work at one locality. Ac- cordingly, Assistant Curator Riggs, and H. W. Menke as photog- rapher and general assistant, were dispatched to a field near Medicine Bow, Wyoming, where three months were devoted to collecting fossil reptile remains in the Jurassic beds of that region. While it is yet too early to judge accurately of the material obtained, there is no doubt that the results will be highly satisfactory and that much has ibeen secured along a line hitherto entirely unrepresented in the TMuseum. About five tons of bones in the matrix have been shipped, and a list received from Mr. Riggs quotes the following among the material collected: Femur, tibia, scapula, coracoids, caudal, dorsal and cervical ver- tebrae, ilium and ischium of Brontosaurus; femur, scapula, cervical, dorsal, and caudal vertebrae of Morosaurus; femur, scapula, pubis, 25 Oct. 1899. Annual Report of the Director. 365 caudal vertebrae, and eight ribs of Diplodocus; ilium, ischium, femur, and metapodils of Creosaurus, and tibia and fibula of Camptosaurus. Many of these remains illustrate the great size attained by these an- cient reptiles. Thus the Morosaurus femur obtained is five and one- fourth feet in length, the scapula and coracoid are five and one-half feet in length and have a weight of 400 lbs., and the centra of the caudal vertebrae of Brontosaurus have a diameter of thirteen inches. Besides the above, several species of Jurassic invertebrates were col- lected and about six dozen negatives, showing quarry views, strati- graphy and land sculpture of the region were made by Mr, Menke. Through the courtesy of the officials of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, opportunity was given Mr. W. N. Logan to make a special collection of fossils of the Fort Benton beds of Central Kansas for the Museum. He spent about a month in the field and secured about 200 specimens of the fossil invertebrates and septaria which characterize those beds. Mr. Surber, the regular collector in the De- partment of Zoology, has done effective work in Oklahoma Territory. Mr. Elliot, the Curator of the Department, accompanied the Harri- man expedition to the Northwest as an invited guest, but not specially as the representative of the Museum. He, however, obtained several valuable specimens and will undoubtedly make notable contributions to the literature of natural history. Mr. Meek, the assistant curator in the Department of Zoology, was quite successful in an expedition to California, and on the occasion of visits to adjacent biological stations. Installation, Rearrangement, and Permanent Improvement. — Among the permanent improvements in and about the Museum, and in addition to the work involved in re-installation, may be mentioned the construction of a second story to the Taxidermist's shop, 30 by 60 feet in area. The lower floor is now entirely devoted to storage of specimens considered too valuable to be placed in the Jefferson Avenue building. The Laboratories of the Departments of Zoology and of Botany, have also been practically rebuilt and very considerably extended. Repairs to the building itself are a source of constant at- tention, the care required and the money expended increasing each year. Foundation stones were placed under Rooms 20, 22 and 5. An experiment in whitewashing above the line of the base on the outside of the building has proved so successful as to warrant going over the entire course, and the plaster statuary at the entrance of the building has received needed attention. The work of reinstalling the East Court has been completed this year and it is now devoted exclusively . 366 Field Columbian Museitm — Reports, Vol. i. to material relating to Archaeology. The north alcoves are devoted to the Archaeology of United States and Canada; the central portion contains Mexican and Central American Archaeology, with the excep- tion of those cases at the west end, which illustrate the ancient flint proper, soapsto.ne, and red pipestone quarries of the United States, and at Brandon, England, while the east end cases are devoted to the cliff dwellers and the Pueblo models. The south alcove contains South American Archaeology. Every case in the court has not only been re-installed but has been entirely re-classified, several standard cases being used in the installation of the Mexican and South Ameri- can Archaeology. Material relating to the Ethnology of the Eskimo has been re-classified and re-installed in new cases, Hall 10 being de- voted to clothing and utensils of domestic use and to two figures (from life) engaged in skin scraping and ivory drilling. Hall 11 contains implements of the chase, stone implements, methods of transporta- tion, and three cases of figures representing a harpoon thrower in a kyak, a girl fishing from the ice, and a group of three figures and several dogs, illustrating the return home of the husband from a suc- cessful seal hunt. Ethnological objects heretofore in the East Court and south alcoves have been re-installed in their proper geographical locations. Halls 14 and 15, heretofore containing South America Archaeology, have been dismantled and renovated and are now devoted to the Ethnology of Mexico, Central and South America, new cases having been provided. Owing to the demand for additional space for the recently acquired Hopi collection, it was found necessary to move the lately installed cases of British Guiana, Venezuela, and Paraguay material from Hall 16 to Hall 15. , The Rev. H. R. Voth, from whom the collection of Hopi material was purchased, is en- gaged in reproducing certain ceremonial altars of the Hopi Indians to be installed in Hall 16. Already a large portion of the Mc- Cormick collection has been installed and labeled in Hall 17. In Edward E. Ayer Hall every case of specimens except those given to the Ethnology of the Northwest Indians, has been subjected to a careful revision, classification and labeling. In Hall 33, devoted to ceramics, a portion of the Higinbotham Korean collection has been temporarily installed ; and a part of the same collection has been shown in Hall 4. In the Herbarium of the Department of Botany, where the entire time of the Curator has been spent when not in the field, many improvements have been accomplished and a large amount of installation performed. Additional space for work has been gained from hitherto unavailable floor space. This has been included in the Herbarium rooms in the shape of a stor- Oct. 1899. Annual Report of the Director. 367 age section and a larger and more complete, work-room, to which three tables have been added for the accommodation of specialists and monographists who desire to use the collections for research. The growth of the collections has been so large and the charac- ter so excellent that this section of the department now takes high rank as the largest herbarium in the Central United States, while the methods of installation and recording of specimens establishes its usefulness. The labor of arranging the large amount of departmental material for exchange has progressed favora- bly. Over 5,000 plants have been mounted, poisoned, find installed in the cases, and over 2,000 identified, classified, and prepared for publication. Hall 70, devoted to coals and hydrocarbons, has been entirely rearranged and the collections newly installed. Many of the specimens, especially the larger ones, had not before been cased and were suffering from dust and disintegration. Wall cases, 8 feet high and from 17 to 29 inches deep, have accordingly been pro- vided, and these, with four floor cases, furnish casing for all the specimens. In order to guard against danger from spontaneous combustion, the case containing the larger specimens has been lined at the base with asbestos millboard ^/^-inch thick, and the adjoining walls have been covered with two thicknesses of asbestos paper. The interiors of all the cases have also been painted with asbestos paint. Many of the«pecimens in the form of blocks, 6x6x 10 inches in size, have been treated by soaking twenty-four hours in thin shellac in order to prevent disintegration. For exhibiting lump coal or coal in broken fragments, a form of metallic tray was devised which serves admirably for purposes of exhibition. The form (illustrated elsewhere) is that of a deep tray with two sides divergent, cut down in front to a narrow strip the contents giving support to the label. The tray is made of tinned iron, bound at the edges with wire and enameled a drab color outside and white inside. It is be- lieved it will be found admirably adapted for exhibiting other loose substances, such as clays and earthy minerals, in upright cases. To the specimens formerly exhibited in the hall have been added a number of new series recently received by gift or collection or brought from storage, so that the collections now fully illustrate the varieties, origin and uses of coals and mineral hydrocarbons. The collections in Hall 78, devoted to non-metallic minerals of use in the arts, have been entirely rearranged in order to make room for new material and rectify the classification. Four new cases have been added, and the interiors of all the cases have been painted black. Among the new material added are two collections 368 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. i. prepared by Assistant Curator Nichols, illustrating the Le Blanc and ammonia processes for the manufacture of soda and the differ- ent products obtained. The graphic method of installation which has been described in a previous report and which has proved most satisfactory in the representation of metallurgical processes, has here been employed as well. Where liquids are exhibited, the cases being flat, a rectangular glass tray, 6x5x1^ inches in size, with a glass cover, has been employed. Specially corrosive or poisonous liquids and gases are exhibited in sealed glass tubes about i inch in diameter and 9 inches in length. The collection of min- eral paints in Hall 77, which stood in a central case obstructing the passageway, has been removed, with additions, to another part of the hall. A collection of art tiles has also been placed upon the walls of this hall. In Hall 71, devoted to petroleum and its prod- ucts, the cases have been repainted inside and out, the specimens cleaned and newly installed. The heavy iron label frames and exposed jars, which were liable to cause or to suffer injury, have been removed, and all the material in the hall is now cased. Six large ore specimens in Hall 72 have been provided with individual cases. The valuable series of iron and steel fractures shown in Hall 76, which were beginning to rust, has been carefully cleaned. The cases containing the fractures have been relined and repainted inside and the sashes fitted with jambs of rubber. With the case thus made air-tight, by the use of lime or other drying ingredient it is expected to keep the case interiors dry and thus prevent any further rusting of the fractures. Some other minor changes have been made in the casing in this hall. The interiors of most of the wall cases and part of the floor cases in Hall 79 have been painted white, and a large wall case added to contain the heavy specimens formerly piled along the south wall. About one-third of the cases containing the systematic mineral collection. Hall 63. have been relined, the specimens cleaned and reinstalled. A stack of trays for storage purposes has been placed along the east wall of Hall 75. An aspirator, filter-pump and air-bath have been added to the equipment of the laboratory. The work-room of vertebrate palaeontology has been provided with stacks of storage-trays, work-tables and other fit- tings. New pasteboard trays have been supplied throughout to the palaeontological collection in Halls 35, 36 and 59. The old trays, being of inferior quality, had become much faded and soiled. The new style of tray, adopted after some experimenting, was a shallow tray covered with black glazed paper, except where the specimen was Oct. 1899. Annual Report of the Director. 369 very dark in color, when a tray with white interior was used. For several collections exhibited in upright floor cases in Hall 35, a mount of manila board, three-sixteenths of an inch in thickness, covered with paper of the Museum standard color, with a black ground for the specimen and a ruled space for the label, has been employed. Warping of the mount is guarded against so far as possible by putting cloth between the several layers of board used in its construction. In spite of this precaution, some of the larger mounts have warped slightly, but with this exception the mount seems admirably adapted for the exhibition of small specimens in upright cases. In Halls 35 and 36 the vertebrate fossils collected by the Bad Lands expedi- tion of 1898 have been installed as fast as they were made ready. The specimens now on exhibition include a magnificent skull of Titanotherium ingens, being one of the largest and most perfect ever found, six cervical and five dorsal vertebrae of the same individual, a complete skull, but without lower jaws, of Tit anoi her turn iichoceras, many miscellaneous bones of Titanotherium and skulls of Mesohippus, Leptomeryx, Daphcenus and others. The complete series of forms of DcBtnonelix, or " Devil's Corkscrew," secured by the same expedition, has also been installed in an individual case. The forms shown are: a spiral with an axis, a rhizome, and turning to the right; a spiral without an axis, without a rhizome, and turning to the right; a spiral without an axis, with a rhizome, and turning to the left; and a spiral without an axis, with a rhizome, and turning to the right. A series illustrating the phyllogeny of Dcemonelix, worked out by and received from Prof. E. H. Barbour, has also been installed with the collection, as well as photographs showing the mode of occurrence of the speci- mens. The work of cleaning and mounting the above-mentioned material occupied Assistant Curator Riggs, with some assistance from H. W. Menke, during the winter and spring months. There was, however, much other material partially cleaned which can be made ready for exhibition in a short time. A complete skeleton of Dinornis, which had been on hand since the opening of the Museum, has been provided with an individual case and placed in Hall 35. The series of photographs of the moon received from the Lick and Paris Observatories has been framed and is exhibited in connection with the moon model in Alcove log, together with a chart of the moon's surface and a complete descriptive label. In the Department of Zoology, the increased space given the offices of the Curator, by enclosing the outside gallery within them, has been utilized to the very best advantage, and although the rooms are still too small, yet work can be carried on with much additional comfort and satisfaction 370 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. i. Experiments relating to the exhibition of alcoholics, in cases with plate glass fronts, have been made in this department and promise to be successful. The greater part of the conchological collection, about 5,000 sets, is now in process of remounting on cardboard tab- lets and being re-labeled. The shell collections have been carefully gone over during the year and an index record made for the entire collection. Three groups, wild asses, cheetahs, and striped hyena, have been finished by the Taxidermist and placed on exhibition in the West Court. Sundry single specimens have been added to the sys- tematic collection in Hall ig. Photography and Illustrations. — Subtracting the three months that the Photographer spent in the West Indies this year, the work in that section shows progress and development.

Its capacity should be increased, but this would call for more room, which is not available. Additions in a small way, calculated to increase the effi- ciency of the section, have been made during the year.

Taxidermy. — Much work has been accomplished in this important section during the past year. Three groups, wild asses, cheetahs, and striped hyenas have been finished and placed on exhibition, and three Oct. 1899. Annual Report of the Director. 371 other groups are well on their way towards completion. Besides these, sundry single specimens, including a wild sheep, an ibex, and a deer have been mounted. The new building has proven very satis- factory and work can now be accomplished with comfort and without the risks and inconvenience that obtained in the previous confined space. The groups executed by Mr. Akeley keep fully up to the high standard of excellence exhibited by those previously produced by him, and place the Museum's possessions in this class of work not equalled by any other institution in this country. In pursuance of the authority of the Executive Committee, needed assistance has been given the taxidermist, and work is constantly proceeding with much more satisfaction with regard to its quantity. A large number of birds have been mounted. Attendance. — The total attendance of the year shows a decrease •of 942. This, in view of the notably large attendance on several free days, is a surprise, except when it is understood that there was one less Sunday in September, 1899, than there was in 1898, with which the comparison is naturallj' made. There was an increase in paid attendance over 1898, and a very large increase in attendance of school children as well as of students and of teachers appeared from the records of the days when an admission fee was charged. On other days no discrimination could be made. The following is a list of school classes of 30 pupils or more that visited the Museum during the year just closed : Schools, Chicago— Teachers. Pupils.
