ANNUAL REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 1904-1905 To the Trustees of the Field Columbian Museum : I have the honor to present a report of the operations of the Museum for the year ending September 30, 1905. In some respects the year just closed has been the most im- portant and interesting in the history of the institution. The con- sideration by the Staff of the plans of the new building ; the acquisi- tion of a large amount of valuable material from the Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition, the expeditions and the several important collec- tions purchased have all been factors in making the period covered by the last twelve months noteworthy. The building has been inspected for safety by experts appointed by the architects and repaired and strengthened in accordance with their recommendations. The exterior of the building has been replastered and will be repainted early in the Spring. The Director attended the International Congress on Economics and Expansion at Mons, Belgium, in September. The Convention had a distinct ethnological and sociological tendency, and the pro- ceedings in the more important sections were largely dominated by scientific men who gave a scholarly tone to the sessions and placed the records of the Congress on an academic basis. The most im- portant action of the Congress as relates to the scope of the Field Institution, was the adoption of a Memorial for the formation of a permanent organization to be termed the International Bureau of Ethnography. Maintenance.— The cost of maintenance for the year 1904-1905 was $122,880, an increase over the previous year of approximately $13,000. The excess was occasioned Ijy an increase in the cost of repairs and alterations to the building of $3,500; additions to the general staff accounting for an increase in salaries of $4,000, and $5,000 due to extraordinary expenses in connection with the installa- tion of new material obtained chiefly from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The total amount expended as shown by the financial .337 338 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. II. statement was $208,467. The difference, $86,000, between this amount and the cost of maintenance is accounted for by special appropriations, for: cases, $10,000; expeditions, $n,ooo; publica- tions, $5,500; special exterior repairs, $5,500; and collections pur- chased, $50,000. The latter item exceeds any amount previously expended for new material in any one year with the exception of the first year of the Museum's existence. Staff of the Museum. — The Staff has been augmented by the appointment of Dr. Jesse M. Greenman, formerly of the Gray Her- barium, as Assistant Curator of the Department of Botany, and bv the appointment of Dr. X. Dearborn as Assistant Curator in charge of Ornithology. Lecture Courses. — Both the Autumn and the Spring Lecture Courses were given in Fullerton Memorial Hall by special ar- rangement with the trustees of the Art Institute, and it is en- couraging to state that the capacity of the hall was taxed at almost every lecture. Opportunity is here taken to thank the gentlemen who very generously cooperated in this method of public instruction. Following is the Twenty-first Lecture Course, delivered during the months of October and November, 1904, with the subjects and lecturers : Oct. I. — " Wild Flowers of the Chicago Basin." " Dr. C. F. Millspaugh, Curator of Botany. Oct. 8. — "Japan — Land of Lacquer and Bamboo." Dr. C. F. Millspaugh, Curator of Botany. Oct. 15. — " Variation of Birds." Dr. N. Dearborn, Department of Ornithology.

The Museum Exchange List now numbers 1,123 names, of which 510 are in foreign countries and 613 in the United States. Early in the year the list was carefully revised and many changes and addi- tions made. The following table shows the number of exchanges with each of the foreign countries: Canada 29 Greece, 2 Central America, .... 6 The Netherlands, .... 10 Cuba and the West Indies, 5 Italy 28 Mexico, 16 Malta, i Philippine Islands, . i Norway. 7 Yucatan, 2 Portugal 5 Argentine Republic, 10 Roumania, i Brazil, 7 Russia, 14 British Guiana, i Spain, 5 Oct., 1905.

A special report of the work done at the St. Louis Fair and a list of the material obtained was published for private circulation only. Library. — The number of books and pamphlets in the library is now 36,572, which represent an addition during the year of 1,375 books and 1,032 pamphlets, distributed as follows: Books. Pamphlets. General Library, 12,518 16,563 Department of Anthropology, .... 600 85 Department of Botany, 740 319 Department of Geology, 1,998 2,984 Department of Ornithologj', .... 397 Department of Zoology, 361 7 The additions during the year were 549 titles acquired as fol- lows: By purchase 273 books and 63 pamphlets, and the remainder by gifts and exchange. The Library receives 160 periodicals, 77 of i Oct.. 1905. Annu.m. Report of the Director. 343 which are jjurchased. A number of valuable books have lieen pur- chased during the year, among them the following: — Thwaite's Early Western Travels. 1748-1846 (31 vs.). Rlair and Richardson, The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898 (55 vs.). Cavanilles. Icones et Descrip- tiones Plantarum. 1791-1801 (6 vs.). Humboldt, von. Nova Genera et Species Plantarum. 1815- 1825 (h vs."*. It was ascertained during the rear that there were a number of institutions, both at home and abroad, that were publishing literature that would be of great assistance to the staft and students of the Museum. Invitations to the number of 330 were extended for an exchange of publi- cations and it is gratifying to report that very hearty acceptances have been received from a large proportion of those addressed. Several of these societies have sent, also, as complete sets of their back publications as were available; among them are the Saint Petersburg Imperial Academy of Sciences, which sent its Memoirs dating back to 1830, and, while not complete, are most valuable; The Societe Beige de Geologie, de Paleontologie, Bruxelles, 8 volumes; Roval Botanical Garden, Ceylon, 3 volumes; Biblioteca Xacional, Chile, 21 volumes; Royal Zoological Society, Dublin, 15 reports; Field Naturalists and Microscopical Society, Edinburgh, 5 volumes; Gesellschaft der Xaturfreunde. Stuttgart, f) volumes; Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society, England, 10 volumes; South African Philosophical Society, Cape Town, 7 vol- umes; Missouri Horticultural Society, 11 volumes; and Iowa State Horticultural Society, 13 volumes. An inventory has been made i)f all books and pamphlets purchased since the establishment of the Library in 1894. On account of the increasing number of books needed in the Departmental Libraries, it was thought advisable to nominate ,1 member of the staff of each department to have charge of the books, and the wisdom of this step is alreadv apparent. Four hun- dred and fifteen additional titles were fumished-for the Second Supple- ment (now in press) of the List of Serials in the Libraries of Chicago. The number of cards written and added to the catalogues was 8,435, exclusive of several thousand cards received from the Department of Agriculture, to which the call number of the Library was added. Twelve installments of the John Crerar Library catalogue cards have i'cen received. 583 books have been sent to the bindery during the year, of which 225 have been returned. Departmental Cataloguing, Inventorying and Labeling. The records of the Department of Anthropology show an unusually large num- 344 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. II. ber of specimens entered in the inventory books during the year. These books now number 25 volumes. Card catalogues have been made of collections as fast as they have been received, and few of the great collections acquired remain uncatalogued. The preparation of lists of specimens from the catalogue cards for the office of the Recorder have been brought to date. Aluminum sunken labels have been prepared during the year for the North Pacific Coast collection and for a large part of the California collection, while identifying labels have been placed on all specimens on exhibition. The Curator of Botany reports entries to the number of 16,147 as having been made during the year, bringing the total up to date to 178,008 items contained in 51 catalogue books. In addition to this, approxi- mately 2,500 cards have been written. In the Department of Geol- ogy the amount of cataloguing performed was greater than usual, owing to the large quantity of material obtained from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The cataloguing of the invertebrate fossils collected bv Mr. Slocom in western New York was also a task of con- siderable magnitude. With the exception of the Bixby collection, however, which was not received until late in the year, it is possible to report all material in the Department fully inventoried and catalogued. The record of the entries is as follows: Number of Record Books, 19; total number of entries, 52,835; entries during the year, 15,011; total number of cards written, 6,600. These en- tries are subdivided as follows: Paleontological specimens, 11,546; economic specimens, 1,748; mineral specimens, 1,100; geological specimens, 264; lithological specimens, 187; meteorites, 149; and geographical specimens, 17. The cataloguing of photographs filed in the Department albums has been dontinued, and additions made during the year number 301. In addition, a system of filing loose photographs has been established, which proves very service- able for preserving such photographs and rendering them acces- sible. The files used are similar to the ordinary letter file reinforced by a binding of strong muslin. In these the photographs are filed alphabetically, while the files are grouped according to subjects. The number of photographs now filed in this manner in the Depart- ment is 745, and the number of files 22. New labels were provided for the meteorite collection in connection with its reinstallation. These labels are of black cardboard printed with aluminum ink and of a size to fit the front of each block on which a specimen is mounted. Each label shows the name of the meteorite, its date of fall, its classi- fication, weight, and description of the specimen. The number of o Oct., 1905 Annual Report of the Director. 345 ibels so prepared is 382. In addition two diagrams illustrating graphically the composition of meteorites were made. The collec- tions of clays, soils and sands have been fully labelled, a total of 459 labels, 30 of which were descriptive, having been prepared for this purpose. Ninety comf)lete labels were prepared for the series of oil sands and a total of 385 labels for new specimens in the scries 'if ores of gold, silver, copper, etc. made. A total of 1,465 labels has been prepared a^d printed for the Department during the year. All the new material in the Department of Ornithology, as well as a number of skins belonging to the original Cory purchase which had hitherto not been numbered, were card catalogued. A catalogue of the birds of North and Central America, including the names and geographical distribution of more than 3,000 birds, has been prepared and is ready for publication. The Curator of Zoology reports all records in that department as being in a highly satisfactory condition. The year's work in the Museum on catalogues and in- ventories is shown in detail below: Number Total No. of Entries Total No. of of Record Entries tn During Cards Departments. Books.

They were, for the most part, the gifts of home and foreign commissions of states and countries exhibiting at the Exposition. The material obtained was all carefully selected under the super- vision of the Curator, and hence represents new and altogether desirable accessions only. In weight the total shipment from the Exposition aggregated about eight tons. The largest and most important acquisition received from any single commission was that from Brazil, which numbered 1,060 specimens. This included several series of ores and minerals of great rarity and importance. The important manganese ore deposits of Brazil are represented by one mass of manganese ore weighing 3,300 pounds and ■by several hundred pounds of ores of the same from other localities. The gold ores are represented by large masses from 346 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. II. the well-known Ore Velho mines of Bahia and the arsenical de- posits of Minas Geraes. The characteristic siliceous and pipe iron ores of Minas Geraes are also well represented in the mate- rial obtained. A full series of diamond-bearing gravels was secured, also several hundred pounds of the Brazilian monazite sands from different localities. Ores of copper, zinc, cadmium and mercury were also secured. The minerals obtained included representatives of a number of rare species, such as goyazite, scorodite, anatase and hydrargillite, and of gem minerals, such as tourmaline, topaz, aqua- marine, etc. Other foreign countries from which valuable collections were obtained were: Bulgaria, which furnished lA specimens, chiefly of copper ores and coals; Canada, 55 specimens, ores and economic minerals, including some from the newly discovered cobalt deposits of Haileybury ; Egypt, 20 specimens copper ores and salts; Germany, 29 specimens peat and its products, clays, etc.; Haiti, 39 specimens, copper, gold, manganese, and other ores, and a manuscript geological map of part of the island ; Italy, 14 photographs of the marble quarries of Carrara; Japan, 14 specimens phosphates and products; New Zealand, 37 geological photographs; and Rhodesia, 20 specimens ores and minerals, including a remarkable occurrence of gold in talc. Commissions or exhibitors of the United States and territories from whom important collections were obtained were: Alaska, 10 speci- mens gold ores and coals; Alabama, 30 specimens, chiefly iron ores aad sands; Arizona, 57 specimens copper, gold, and other ores and minerals; Arkansas, 54 specimens zinc ores, phosphates, bauxite, asphalt, etc.; California, 131 specimens ores of mercury, chromium, lithium and other metals, infusorial and nitrous earths, onyx and other ornamental stones, and a relief map 8x4 feet, of a portion of San Bernardino County; Illinois, 10 specimens soils and clays; Kentucky, 31 specimens clavs, sands, and ores; Maryland, 20 speci- mens soils; Mississippi, 36 specimens clays, marls and sands; Mis- souri, 51 specimens zinc and iron ores, clays, barites, etc. ; New Mexico, 78 specimens of various ores; New York, 17 specimens slates, talcs, and iron ores; North Carolina, 8 specimens monazite, barite, and other minerals; Oklahoma, 22 specimens clays and gypsums; South Dakota, 52 specimens gold and tungsten, ores, quartz, spodumene, mica and other products; Tennessee, 26 specimens phosphates, iron and copper ores; Utah, ;^t, specimens ores and rare minerals; Vir- ginia, 168 specimens representing the different mineral resources of the state; Washington, 47 specimens gold, silver, lead and copper ores; Wisconsin, 20 specimens building stone, iron ores, etc.; and Oct.. 1905. Annual Rkport of the Director. 347 Wyoming, 4 specimens jet, kaolin, agate and soda. Some additional valuable accessions were received by gift during the year from sources other than the Exposition. Of these may be mentioned 68 thin sections of meteorites and casts of the Bath Furnace and Boogaldi meteorites from Prof. H. A. Ward; a complete series of rocks and minerals of the Cerro Mercado, Mexico, and a number of rare Mexican minerals, in all aggregating 230 specimens, from Mr. W. H. Schlemm; a series of remarkable sand concretions from California, from Herbert W. Brown; four limonite concretions from Kentucky, from Dr. W. S. Gilmore; three limonite concretions from Indian Terri- tory, from Gen. G. Murray Guion; a series of 83 specimens, illus- trating the manufacture and uses of carborundum, from the Carbor- undum Company ; seven specimens gold ores and tundra of Alaska, from W. M. Johnston; and 31 specimens ores and minerals of Cali- fornia and Arizona from, the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. By exchange were obtained sections of five meteorites new to the collec- tion. These were as follows: Felix and Persimmon Creek, from the United States National Museum; Billings and Bella Roca, from Prof. H. A. Ward; and St. Mesmin, from B. Sturtz. From the United States National Museum were also obtained by exchange large pol- ished slabs of orbicular diorite from Advance, North Carolina, and of jasperized hematite from Ishpeming, Michigan. From the Mon- tana School of Mines were received by exchange eleven specimens of the ores and rocks of the Butte district; from Mr. R. F. Jones of Concord, Massachusetts, a series of nine remarkable crystallized specimens of datolite from Westfield, Massachusetts; from Prof. L. H. Borgstrom, a cast of one of the Shelburne meteorites; and from Mr. Henry E. Purdy of Michigan City, Indiana, two complete fulgurites, each about 18 inches in length, and a number of fragments of fulgurites. The most important purchase was that of the mineral collection of Maynard Bixby of Salt Lake City. This collection represents the fruits of many years' collecting by Mr. Bixbv, chiefly in the little known and comparatively inaccessible districts of Utah, Colorado and adjoining states of the W'est. The collection is, there- fore, largely made up of mineral occurrences little known elsewhere, and affords material of a rare character for purposes of study and display. Suites of specimens which may be mentioned as of especial interest and importance are the following: Crystallized gold, weigh- ing 3 ounces, Breckenridge, Colorado; silver nugget, weighing 3 pounds. Globe, Arizona; crystallized realgar and orpiment, Mercur; Utah; crystallized argentite and hessite, Colorado and Montana, 348 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. II. crystallized tiemannite, Marysvale, Utah; quartz- crystals contain- ing inclusions, phantoms, etc., Placerville, California; precious opal, Washington; precious sapphires, including crystals and rolled pebbles, Montana; minium, Leadville and Eureka, Utah; rhodochrosite in large and transparent crystals, Alma, Colorado; crystallized cerus- site, Utah and Idaho; crystallized azurite in large and varied forms, Arizona; hiddenite in crystals of gem quality, Alexander County, North Carolina; rose beryl, Dugway Range, Utah; crystallized phenacite, Crystal Peak, Bear Creek and Mount Antero, Colorado; topaz crystals in great variety from the Thomas Mountains, Utah; probably the largest perfect crystal of topaz ever found in the United States, Cheyenne Mountain, Utah; large crystal of andalusite, Oreville, South Dakota; crystallized blue calamine, Elkhorn, Mon- tana; bixbyite, Dugway Range, Utah; olivenite in great variety, Eureka, Utah; scorodite in remarkable perfection of form from the same locality; an extraordinary crystal of vivianite from Silver Citv, Idaho; coni-chalcite in large masses of rich color, Tintic Dis- trict, Utah; crystallized uraninite, Portland, Connecticut; anglesite in crystals of remarkable perfection and size. Eureka, Utah; crys- tallized leadhillite, Shultz, Arizona; an extraordinary crystal of linarite on matrix. Eureka, Utah; crystalHzed wulfenite of rich and varied colors, Shultz, Arizona; napalite, Aetna mine, California; pseudomorphs of hematite after enargite, Copperopolis mine, Utah; and malachite pseudomorphous after selenite. Mammoth, Utah. The collection numbers 2,400 specimens and adds to the Museum collections 75 species or varieties which had not been before rep- resented. From the Director of the Geological Survey of Japan a series numbering 34 specimens of new or unusual minerals of that country was obtained by purchase. These specimens include beauti- ful danburites from Obira, hyalite from Tateyama, twin quartzes from Otomezaka, and choice topazes from the well-known Takayama locality. In a series of specimens purchased from the estate of the late George Wilkinson of Beloit, some remarkable manganites from the well-known Negaunee, Michigan, locality were obtained. These include a geode and two specimens of the " nailhead " variety. An extraordinary crystal of hematite, a fossil fish from the Green River beds and a disarticulated fossil nautilus were other important specimens obtained in this purchase. Twelve specimens of the large, violet-colored calcites recently discovered at the May Bell mine near Joplin, Missouri, were obtained from an exhibitor at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition by purchase. The South Bend meteorite, re- Oct., 1905. Annual Report of the Director. 349 ontly discovered in Indiana, was purchased entire, also one of the nvo stones of the Shclburne, Canada, meteorite, which fell August 13, 1904. Other purchases of special importance were those of a glaciated mass of copper weighing 372 pounds found near Markesan, Wiscon- sin, and two remarkable crystals of gem quality of pink beryl recently discovered near San Diego, California. The accessions in Anthro- pology have been largely due to purchase, these for the first time in several years exceeding in importance and number those acquired by exploration in the field. This is due to the fact that much of the time of the various members of the staff of the department was oc- cupied in St. Louis at the close of the Exposition in matters of in- terest to the department, at which time a large number of collections were purchased. From the few expeditions which have been in the field, however, important material has been obtained. Thus, through Dr. C. F. Xewcombe, notable additions to the Northwest Coast collec- tions have been made, the most important consisting of skulls and skeletons, several inside house posts, and other carvings from that region. From Dr. J. W. Hudson has been acquired a large collection of material from the Lower Klamath, supplementing the collection made by him in the year previous. Of acquisitions through gift, the most important is that from Mr. S. L. James of this citv, who pre- sented a large number of earthenware vessels, several smaller objects of Egyptian archaeology, seven mummy coffins, and one large white marble sarcophagus seven feet in length and beautifully carved. This sarcophagus is of a lat-e period and was unquestionably done hv Roman or Grecian artisans. Mr. H. D. Higinbotham presented an' unusually interesting prepared head from the Jivero Indians of Equador, while Mr. W. E. Prager also presented a small but inter- esting collection of flint and stone implements illustrating the archse- ology of Ireland. Of the collections received through exchange, the most important was a collection of about 100 skulls , of the Navajo and other Indians of the Southwest from the Brooklyn Institute of Science and Art; an unusually interesting Haida house post and a large model of Mitla and Monte Alban from the United States Na- tional Museum, and a series of busts from Siberia from the American Museum of Natural History. The collections acquired by purchase are many in number, and include several of great importance. Of these only the most important are here noticed. Considering first the collections acquired at the St. Louis Exfjosition, mav be men- tioned the very large and important collection illustrating the archae- ology of the Province of Calchaqui of the Argentine Republic secured 350 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. II. from Mr. Zavaleta. Probably next in importance to the Zavaleta collection is that of a large number of Thibetan bronzes and East Indian ethnology ; the Donne collection from New Zealand com- prising six Maori feather cloaks and a number of Maori carvings, and the archaeological collection from Egypt selected by Dr. Breasted. From Mr. Hardy of Berlin was purchased an interesting collection of ethnological specimens from German East Africa, chiefly from the Massai. Of especial interest in this collection is a series of thirty life masks and a completely costuined Massai warrior. There is also a very interesting carved door-way of native design and con- struction. From the Siamese Pavilion was obtained a collection numbering several hundred specimens, among them being many musical instruments, pieces of armor and weapons. In the Soudan collection, exhibited in the Fish, Forestry and Game Building, an exhibit was secured which extends the collections in the department to the North of Africa, a region heretofore unrepresented. From Dr. Jenks, the Director of the Bureau of Ethnology of the Philippine Islands, was secured a choice series of objects largely of head-gear. These are of special interest, owing to the fact that they were selected and thoroughly identified by Di. Jenks. From the Rev. Mr. Verner was secured a valuable collection brought by him from the Pigmy region of Central Africa. Other collections secured from St. Louis are Haida carvings, a collection of Hupa feather work, a large collec- tion of Cinghalese ceremonial masks, a collection of about 200 speci- mens from the Cliff Dwellers, an interesting collection from the Ainu, a few specimens from the Cheyenne and a large number of objects from the North Pacific Coast taken to the Exposition by Dr. C. F. Newcombe. The more important of the other purchases made dur- ing the year include two ceremonial bufi^alo robes from one of the Rio Grande Pueblos ; a gold necklace and other valuable additions from Egypt and Italy, purchased by Mr. Ayer; a small collection of Blackfeet objects including a number of skulls and skeletons; a carefully collected collection from the Togo Hinterland secured through the kindness of Dr. Otto Finsch ; a large number of carefully selected and choice specimens from Fred Harvey, including buffalo robes, buffalo hide shields, a number of rare Tlingit specimens and four representative basket collections and a large collection, in many ways unique, from one of the tribes of the Columbia River. From Professor Starr was purchased a collection numbering about 6,000 specimens comprising in addition to the material obtained by his three years' exploration at Tlacotapec, a large number of archasolog- <)CT., 1905. Annual Rkport of thk Dirkctdk. ,^51 R-al specimens from various ])arts of Mexico, tlie Penctiel collection, a series of 100 busts of Mexican Indians, a larjje and comprehensive ethnological series illustrating the life of the Mexican Indians of to-day, and several miscellaneous collections of the North American Indians, among them the Iroquois. Tonkawa, and Sauk and Fox. The col- lection also included one of the very rare ancient throwing sticks from the Cliff ruins of Utah. Of the new material acquired in the Depart- ment of Botany a fair half was secured by careful selection among the principal foreigfn countries exhibiting at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. From this source the following specimens were derived: From Portugal, a series of vegetable oils from the fruits to the prod- ucts, illustrating the utilization of the oil of olives, coco, purging nut, and ground nut ; a very full series of the native plants used in this country in domestic medication by the laity ; a full illustrative collec- tion of the Portuguese method of harvesting pine resins, from a large trunk showing the method of tapping, through the tools and utensils u.sed, to the various resins, gums and oils extracted; an interesting series of the principal agricultural products of the country, and many of its colonial jjossessions ; a few examples of cork products needed to complete the already very full illustrative collection in the depart- ment ; and a series of the rubbers of Portuguese Africa. From Egj'pt, a very comjjlete and representative collection of the cereals, legumes, and other edible grains peculiar to the delta of the Nile; an excellent series of the more valuable Egyptian cottons; a fine series of sugar, exemplifying the products from the cane; a valuable collection of dried dates representing all the Egyptian varieties of the fruit ; and a series of the native rubbers of upper Egypt. From Ceylon, an unique series of specimens showing the various utilizations of cocoanut ; the husks, shells, nuts, meat, trunk, sheath, leaf ekels, and wood of the tree; a ver}^ full and selected series of the native spices of the country in a large variety of forms and sorts; a full series of the plants em- ployed in disease by the natives, accompanied by a pamphlet giving the source and utilization of each; a complete set of odd fibers, em- ployed by the natives, but not yet having commercial value or ex- ])loitation, each of these accompanied by a cord or rope manufactured from the same; various wild and agricultural grains, nuts, berries and other fruits entering into domestic use; the gums, tans, dyes, and barks utilized in woodcraft and domestic arts ; the starches manu- factured from native plants, utilized but not yet commercial; a very full collection of the varieties of Ceylon teas; a very complete series of the cereals, legumes and other grains of Ceylon ; also of the cottons ; 352 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. II. and a fine series of various odd nuts growing wild on the island. From California, a series of specimens representing the olive as grown on the Pacific coast, and the extraction of oil therefrom; an excellent series of the cultivated nuts of California, including the various varie- ties of walnuts, almonds, peanuts, etc. ; and a fine specimen, pre- served in liquid, showing the full fruiting spathe of the date palm. From Japan, an interesting series of sticks of various timber species, 8x8 inches x lo feet long, which add a number of species to the al- ready nearly complete series of Japanese timber specimens now in- stalled in this department ; a very complete and scientific series of the various bamboos produced in that country, this series, organized by the Japanese Forestry Commission, is one of the finest ever ex- hibited in any foreign country ; a collection of waxes ; a series of the fine chip produced so extensively in Japan for the manufacture of hats and cords, in this series the chips are accompanied by blocks of the wood from which they are made, and in each case bear the botanical name of the tree from which they are produced; a series of fine examples showing the products of the camphor tree at various steps in the manufacture of the gum, this series adds greatly to the incomplete set already installed in the department; fine collections of saki, nuts, and roots; and various odd forest products of the archi- pelago, represented by excellent illustrative specimens. From New Zealand, grains and fibers. From Haiti, besides a collection of tobacco and cigars, specimens showing the product of the chocolate nut as made by the natives for domestic use. From Virginia, a col- lection of peanuts. From Louisiana, a series of white papers made of bagasse — of higher class than those already installed in this de- partment — thus completing the exhibit of this interesting product. From Siam, various specimens and utilizations illustrating the native processes and products in the manufacture of Laos and Siamese papers, from the raw products to native books of the finished article. From Germany, a long illustrative series of the various peats of Ger- many, with specimens showing their utilization in many ways: fab- rics, paper, mats, mattress filling, surgical dressing, vineyard torches, etc., etc. From Bulgaria, a complete series of the cereals, legumes, and other grains, nuts and tobacco. From Rhodesia, native rubbers as produced from several species of Apocymaceous plants, including one interesting new rubber existing in pure threads in the crushed roots of a thus far unknown species; also, collections of fibers, grains, and cottons. From Italy, a series of cereals and legume grains ; and Oct. 1905. Ax.Ni-Ai. Report of the Director. 353 a fine scientifically identified series of the seeds of the native slirubs and trees of Italy, an excellent collection and one seldom, if ever, seen at an exposition. From Formosa, a full series of tree sections of the various timbers utilized upon the island, these were carefully named and prepared by the Forestry Department of Japan ; an ex- cellent series of the fibers of Formosa, with some instance of utilization of the same; raw material, pulp and finished papers of various bast and other paper-fiber producing plants ; camphor and products ; teas ; a series illustrating the food nuts of the country; specimens repre- senting the various grades of sugars produced in Formosa from the cane ; and series of the food and condiment roots of the island. The herbarium has been augmented during the past year by the accession of 11,089 specimens, among which the most notable series are as follows: Fiebrig's plants of Paraguay (465); Mrs. Ayer's plants of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (78); Curtiss' plants of the Isle of Pines (308); Mrs. Chase's plants of Maryland, District of Columbia and Virginia (516); Ames' plants of Florida (418); and those of Britton, Small.

A large number of reptiles were added, and 373 specimens were added to the insect collection. Xo additions were made to the conchological collection during the year. There have been acquired upward of 2,500 bird skins; 228 complete or partial sets of eggs, and 34 nests; of which 43 species of birds, 82 kinds of eggs and 21 examples of nests were new to the collection.

Mr. Alleyne Ireland, earlier in the year, concluded his expedition to Borneo and the neighboring islands. Dr. C. F. Xewcombe spent two months in securing special information re- quired by him in installing the Northwest Coast collections and pre- paring a report thereon. Dr. J. W. Hudson continued his in- vestigations in the Lower Klamath, begun early in the year, brought them to a close and returned to the Museum, where he has been engaged in preparing his collections for exhibition. The work of in- vestigation among the Arapaho has been continued, Mr. Cleaver Warden being in the field for five months. The Curator has tvv'ice visited the Pawnee in connection with his investigations for the Car- negie Institution of Washington. The joint expedition with the Bureau of Ethnology in charge of Mr. James Mooney among the Cheyenne and Kiowa was interrupted during a great part of the vear by the necessity of Mr. Mooney's presence in Washington. Mr. Mooney has recently returned to the field. The Curator of Botanv, in company with Dr. N. L. Britton, Director of the New York Botan- ical Garden, and Dr. M. A. Howe, Algologist of the garden, continued, in January last, their united, systematic exploration of the islands of the Bahamian Archipelago never before botanically visited. The party left New York on January igth, reaching Nassau, New Provi- 3s6 Field Columbian MuseujM — Reports, Vol. II. dence, on the morning of the 22nd. Here, after working the neighbor- hood of Nassau until the 26th, they chartered and commissioned a 38-ton schooner and made a trial run to Rose Island, returning to Nassau on the 28th. At 2:00 a. m. on the 29th the cruise began in a run northward along the Berry Islands to Great Bahama, exploring on the way: Whale Cay, Little Harbor Cay, Frozen Cay, Goat Cay, Lignum Vitse Cay and Great Harbor Cay, reaching Great Bahama Island on the third of February. Here, on account of the dangerous coast, the party went into camp at Eight Mile Rock, sending the vessel away to safe harbor to return on the qth. After five days' valuable collecting at this point the schooner returned and the party moved to Barnett's Point, and later to Golden Grove, leaving again for Nassau on the 14th. On the i6th, another start was made to the southward for the purpose of exploring the Exuma Chain from Ship Channel Cay to Great Exuma. Work was begun at Ship Channel Cay February 17th, and continued southward along the chain, visit- ing Shrouds Cay, Cave Cay, Little and Great Galiot Cays, the Cay north of Wide Opening and Great Guana Cay, reaching Exuma on the morning of the 23rd. Six days were spent on this interesting island, and Nassau reached, at the end of the reconnoissance, on March 3rd, where four days' further exploration was conducted while awaiting a return steamer to New York. This trip resulted in large collections of herbarium material, and a series of observations, especially in phytogeography and the mutation of species, of deep interest to botanical science. During April and May the Curator of Geology visited points in Arizona and southern California for the purpose of procuring specimens of minerals and ores not hitherto represented in the Museum collections. In Yuma County, Arizona, several im- portant mining districts were visited and full series of the ores and rocks there to be obtained were collected. Among these districts were those of Castle Dome, Picacho, La Paz, Middle Camp, Cinnabar, and Kofa. In the Plumosa Mountains of Arizona specimens of a remark- able and little known copper deposit were obtained, together with a number of volcanic rocks. From the Santa Maria Mountains of Cali- fornia were obtained specimens of new occurrences of iron ores, of garnet, and of marble, also several remarkable examples of rock weathering, polishing, and petrifaction. About two dozen geo- logical photographs, illustrating chiefly the history of the Colorado River, were also made. In San Diego, California, specimens of a new occurrence of large garnet crystals, also of zoisite, pink beryl, citrine quartz and precious tourmaline were obtained. Field work for the FIELD COLUMBIAN MUSEUM. REPORTS, PL. LXIV. ■.^' , >e Prospecting for Fossils in the Bad Lands of South Dakota. Museum Expedition of 1905. \ Oct.. 1905. Anntai. Report of the Director. 357 ' oUection of vertebrate fossils was continued during tour months of the summer by a party under the direction of Assistant Curator Riggs. It was deemed best to devote the time to the collection of lossil mammals rather than of reptiles as heretofore, since several im- portant groups of mammals remained as yet unrepresented in the collections, and the reptilian skeletons occupy so much space as to make their exhibition impracticable at present. The work of collect- ing was carried on for the most part in the White River beds of South Dakota. The results were highly gratifying, as regards both the quantity and quality of the material obtained. Remains of the water-deer, Leptomeryx, which are usually of rare occurrence, were found m abundance and enough material obtained to insure one or 'uore complete skeletons, together with a slab about 10 by 4 feet in ize on which massed skulls and skeletons will appear in relief. Re- :iiains of the sabre-tooth cat, Dinictis, and the primitive horse. Mesohippus, were also obtained in sufficient quantity to insure a mounted skeleton of each. Of the American rhinoceros, Acerathe- rium, five skulls were obtained; of the cursocial rhinoceros, Hyraco- 'lon,four heads and a partial skeleton; of the carnivores, Hyaenodon, Daphaenus, and Hoplophoneus, a number of good skulls; of the large suilline, Elotherium, three heads; of the gigantic Brontops >ne fine skull; of the rarer ungulates, Hyopotamus. Anthracothe- rium, and Protoceras, representative skulls; also a number of skulls of squirrels and other small mammals, and the only complete skull of a lizard known from this formation. The shipment from the field aggregated about four tons in weight. Several dozen photographs illustrative of the work of collecting and the geology of the region were also made by the expedition. The Chief Taxi- dermist and his assistants were in the field intermittently, investi- gating the Fox River region of Illinois, securing ornithological notes and material to be utilized later for group work. Messrs. Heller and Barber, having returned from southern Mexico, were dispatched during the early part of the year to Guatemala, where they were successful, taking many specimens for the systematic and study collections. Probably the most important expedition is the one dispatched to British East Africa under the direction of Chief Taxidermist Akeley . In the report on local field work by the Depart- ment of Ornithology, the Assistant Curator explains that in order to extend the study of local distribution of birds, longer and, conse- quently, fewer trips were made this year than previously. Inasmuch as the collection in this department is far more comjilete in eggs and 3S8 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. II. skins than in an}' other branch of ornithology, very little of that sort of collecting was attempted. The series of alcoholic nestlings begun last year was considerably increased. A collection of skins of moult- ing birds, prepared so as to show the progress of moult from origin to finish, was begun. When complete, this series will be valuable and unique. Another collection, also begun this season, consists of viscera to be used for comparative purposes when the accumulation is large enough and, in connection with the collection of bones begun several years ago, to show correlation between structure and habits. The study of life histories was continued and a camera was used wherever it was possible. The following list indicates the various expeditions sent out during the year; Locality.

RANGEMENT, AND PERMANENT IMPROVEMENT. NeW CaSCS have been provided for the meteorite collection, occupying Hall 62. Five of these are wall cases, both kinds of cases being similar in design, with a few modifications, to those of Skiff Hall. The wall cases are upright, with a pillared base and projecting bay. Their dimensions are: Length 12 feet, height 7 feet, depth of upper portion 10 inches. The sashes of the upright portions consist of single lights 38 x 68 inches in dimension, and are secured in place by locks and bolts. The bolts screw into nuts fitted into the framework of the case, thus obviating the loosening from wear which would result if they screwed into wood alone. The lower edges of the sashes are rounded to fit grooves in the framework of the case, *Expedition still in field. <)rT.. igo^. Anniai. Report of tiik ])iukctor. 359 thus permitting ease in swinging and removal of the sash without danger of marring. The cases are shelved, and the shelves are ad- justable as to number and height by supports fitting into a series of slots at either end. The sashes of the bays are i6 x 70 inches in dimension. They are swung by hinges and locked by bar locks. In order to prevent the entrance of dust all edges meeting with the frame- work are tongued or grooved to fit corresponding grooves or tongues in the framework, while felt stops are also provided along the grooves. The floor cases are four feet square and four feet six inches high above the base, which rests on heavy turned legs two feet high. The bases are constructed so as to be able to support if necessary a weight of at least one ton. Step pyramids within the cases corresponding in size to the sizes of the specimens afford means of installation. The iir floor cases are devoted to the exhibition of four meteorites. These are: Brenham, fifteen individuals and sections weighing 980 I'uunds; Canon Diablo, twenty individuals and sections weighing 1.51S pounds; Long Island, one individual weighing 1,161 pounds; and Toluca, twenty-four individuals and sections weighing 390 pounds. The remaining specimens of the collection are installed in the wall ises just described, being grouped under the three classes of iron, ■in-stone and stone meteorites, and arranged chronologicallv under uh group. Each specimen is mounted on a bevelled black block of a corresponding size and has a label of black cardboard printed with aluminum ink. The case interiors are also black. Thus a uniform tone in the surroundings of the specimens is secured which throws them into greater prominence and enables them to be ■en to better advantage. In the case-bays are exhibited chiefly ists illustrating forms of individual meteorites. The total number of meteoric falls now represented in the collection is 280, and the total weight 5,060 pounds. The specimens of native silver, Hall 63, which had been badly tarnished, were cleaned and placed in closed glass jars, thus enabling them to be exhibited without further danger of tarnish. Accessions to the mineral collection received during the year have also been installed in this hall in their proper places. In Hall 68, devoted to clays, sands and cements, a large number of specimens has been added, the clay collection alone having been increased to nearly three times its former size. This increase was largely due to material obtained from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The synoptic clays, as now exhibited, number 43 specimens, the potter's clays 60 specimens, the fire clays 54 speci- mens, and the brick clays 147 specimens. These specimens are for 360 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. II. the most part from distinct localities and include briquettes showing the qualities of the burned as well as of the raw product. Of mineral paints, ochres and fuller's earths, 71 specimens are shown. A series illustrating the manufacture of glass has been installed, together with glass sands from various localities. Other uses of sand, such as for molding, refractory purposes, grinding, etc., are illustrated by a collection numbering 61 specimens. The soil collection has also been considerably increased, there being now shown 53 specimens of soils and subsoils arranged according to the nomenclature of the United States Department of Agriculture, and 63 specimens of soils as they are more commonly known. In addition a collection of 34 speci- mens illustrates the origin of soils and their physical and chemical characters. In Hall 78, devoted to salts, abrasives, etc., a large increase in material, due in part to accessions from the Louisiana Pur- chase Exposition, has compelled a general rearrangement and re- installation. . The collection of abrasives. has been increased so that it now fills three cases instead of one as heretofore. The new material added is chiefly corundums, quartzes, infusorial earths, novaculites and whetstones. An entire case of barites, or heavy spar, from different localities, is now shown. To the salt collection specimens illustrating 17 localities or products, chiefly from Egypt and Peru, have been added. A large chart presented by the Solvay Company illustrating the use of soda has been framed and placed in the hall. In Hall 70, devoted to forms of carbon, a number of German peats and their products obtained from the Louisiana Purchase Exposi- tion, have been added to the peat collection, also specimens of the Alaskan, tundra. To the diamond collection have been added eleven specimens illustrating varieties of the diamond gravels of Brazil. The graphite collections in the same hall have also been rearranged and reclassified and are now large and complete. The labels of the series of oil sands. Hall 71, numbering 64 specimens, which were mounted in bottles so as to be capable of being turned about for examination, had suffered much injury owing to constant handling. New labels were accordingly provided and coated with varnish to prevent further wear. Two cases of kerosenes were dis- carded from the hall, as they duplicated other specimens. By removal of these cases and a rearrangement of those remaining, about 300 square feet of much needed storage space was obtained at the south end of the hall. This was partitioned off and connected with the paleontological laboratory. In Hall S9. devoted to Mesozoic fossils, the large and complete Plesiosaur girdle and paddle, col- Oct., 1905. Annual Report of the Director. 361 lected by the paleontological expedition of 1904, has been installed, also a large carapace, two feet four inches in length, of a Cretaceous turtle, and numerous bones of Triceratops collected by the same expedition. Space for the installation of these specimens was ob- lined by the reinstallation of three cases which had previously been ii'voted chietly to invertebrate fossils. The result has been to im- ;rove the appearance and sequence of the collections as a whole. The life-size model of the skeleton of Dinoceras, Hall 61, which had become much discolored and badly cracked, has been thoroughly refilled and repainted so as to be now in excellent condition. In the paleontological laboratory attention has been devoted chiefly to cleaning and mounting the large amount of Triceratops material collected in Montana in 1904. Of the three skulls collected one has been fully worked out and mounted for exhibition. This skull is one of the largest and finest of this extraordinary reptile ever found, and possesses features new to science. The length of the skull - six feet, six inches, its width at the frill four feet, four inches, and its height, including horns, three feet, six inches. The following portions of the skeleton of the same individual have also been pre- pared for exhibition: Right scapula and coracoid, left scapula, right and left humerus, right and left ulna, right ilium, right and left pubis and seven caudal vertebrte. Another skull of Triceratops has been partially worked out. Remains of a large Cretaceous turtle and some Plesiosaur remains collected bv the same expedition have also been worked out. The collection of Silurian and Devonian inverte- brate fossils made in western New York by Mr. Slocom in 1904 and numbering over 11,000 specimens, has been carefullv classified, cleaned and identified, affording representatives of nearlv 300 species, for the most part new to the collections. The rock cutting and grinding machine, which has hitherto been worked bv foot power only, has been connected with the water motor and a mechanical abrasive and water feed provided. A series of laps suitable for the various stages of grinding and polishing has also been provided. By the use of this apparatus a large number of rock and mineral speci- mens have been polished in the laboratory at a slight cost, improving their appearance and exhibition value. The relief map of Mt. Shasta, Hall 76, which had begun to scale badly, was treated to secure a firm adherence of the outer coating and the whole surface repainted. In Hall 77 a framed geological map of Illinois has been installed. The large and monotonously duplicated series of tobaccos and cottons that has, from the opening of the Museum, filled the North Court 362 Field Columbian- Museum — Reports. Vol. II. galleries, has been removed to storage and its place filled with a complete series of 41 new wall cases and 4 new floor cases, in which the systematic installation, representing Economic Botany, begun upon the transept galleries, will be continued in greatly expanded form. The plan for installing these cases embodies the intercalation of the cases already installed with the new ones, and the installation of 8 new cases with products of the Grass family; i of the Sedge family ; 7 of the Palm family ; i of the Pineapple family ; i of the Lily family ; i of the Banana family ; %. of the Orchid and K of the Ginger family ; i of the Willow family ; yi. of the Walnut and % of the Birch family ; i of the Oak family ; i of the Laurel family ; ^ of the Poppy and y^ of the Mustard family ; i of the Rose family ; 2 of the Bean family; i of the Olive family; >^ of the Cactus and y^ of the Parsley family ; yi of the Milkweed and V2 of the Milkwort families ; I of the Chocolate family ; i of the Mint family ; 2 of the Nightshade family ; i of the Daisy family ; and several of the families including the Fungi. Mosses, Seaweeds, Lichens, etc. As an adjunct to the work of the department and the reconstruction of the north court galleries, the north gallery has been partly enclosed in such manner as to form a well lighted study 12 x 20 feet, and an installing and storage room 12 x6s feet, without in any way interfering with the disposition of the collections or the free movement and comfort of the public. These changes have converted the north court galleries into an harmonious uniformity of arrangement that must invite and enhance public interest in the collections, and broaden its knowledge of the sources of economic wealth in the vegetable kingdom. The heretofore crowded Herbarium quarters have been remodeled and enlarged to a capacity sufficient for about five years of normal growth, by throwing the three rooms into one, through the removal of old plaster partitions, and the building of an extension 16 x 28 feet south of and adjoining the west room. This yields well lighted and thoroughh' ventilated rooms for the Assistant Curator ; accommoda- tions for the Herbarium Recorder and his catalogue and record books ; a consecutive arrangement for the herbarium itself; and a well lighted and equipped mounting, storage and distributing room for the Herbarium Preparators. The case equipment of the herbarium has been augmented by the installation of four blocks (of eight cases each) of steel construction. These new steel cases appear, at present. to be the acme of herbarium case construction, being of neat appear- ance, in part, at least, fire proof and air tight; and having a solidity and evident permanency that is highly gratifying. All danger of Oct., igoq. Anni'al Report ov the Director. 363 \v;ir|)ing, cracking open, or having tlie doors become too loose or too tight is at once avoided, while the ability to poison or insectifuge the contents without removal from the cases, gives a feeling of securitv not possible in those of any other constructive material. The gain in content space (due to less quantity of material utilized) proves to '10 about 32 five-inch ]jigeon-holes over a like size block of wooden uses. The Curator's design of these cases, based upon those already mstalled in the only other herbarium having adopted the steel cases, gives evidence of the following improvements: the shelf flanges are turned up instead of down and flush riveted instead of bolted, thus avoiding all chance of the genus covers becoming difficult to insert by engaging the flanges or the bolt heads; the allowance of a 2-inch space between the faces of the shelves and the inside faces of the doors, thus yielding free circulation and shelf-label space; the use of straps of steel at the back of the pigeon-holes as stops for the contents, and leaving a 2-inch space between these stops and those of the pigeon-holes of the case immediately in the rear, thus allowing further circulation of air or ]:oison fumes; and at the Ijottom of each case, the installation of an enameled steel trough in which may be placed carbon-disulphide or a generous quantity of naphthaline or other insectifuge without interfering with the contents of the pigeon- holes; the afhxion of a label-holder of generous size to the face of each case in which an indication of the contents may be placed ; and the use of paper board slides and drops which automatically convert each pigeon-hole into an easily operated drawer, thus doing away entirely with the breakage of mounted plants through frequent grasp- ing of the fascicles for removal. With these additional cases, em- bracing 1,008 5-inch pigeon-holes, the capacity of the herbarium is now 3,276 pigeon-holes, capable of containing in the neighborhood of 300,000 mounted sheets. In these the collections have been com- pletely shifted and rearranged in a consecutive, systematic order, and at the same time the pigeon-hole contents have been severally " opened up " to allow of the introduction of inserrendce for a period "f at least three years of normal growth. The enormous increase of the Northwest Coast ethnological collections made it imperative that this material should be reclassified, rearranged and installed. This has been undertaken, and three halls have been opened to the public, (.:..• those containing the Tlingit and Haida collections. Two other rooms are now being installed; one will contain the Kwakiutl and the other the Salish collections. A regrouping and reinstallation of the California material also became imperative. Fortunately the 364 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. II. transfer of the lecture courses to the Art Institute made available a splendid hall for this purpose, equal in size to four ordinary halls. Into this the California collections have been installed in forty-eight cases, and thus it becomes one of the notable exhibition halls of the Museum — notable, indeed, when it is remembered that six years ago the entire California collections were contained in a single case. The old hall formerly occupied by the California collections became available for the Haida collections. Hall No. 6 has been thrown open to the public during the year, and cases have been requisitioned for Hall No. 7. Considerable work has been done during the year in Osteology, and while no additions have been made to the series of skeletons, much has been done in other portions of the collection. All of the skeletons have been thoroughly cleaned and the standards and bases painted, and all defects in mounting or old workmanship were corrected and repaired. The disarticulated skeletons were also cleaned and arranged in cases under glass. A number of skeletons and skulls that have been cleaned and macerated cannot be mounted and placed on exhibition for lack of a degreasing plant. The Curator decided that it would be advisable to form a new section in Osteology, that of Craniology, and to carry out this idea, the various skulls not belonging to any skeleton have been systematically arranged in Room 25. Seventy-six skulls were especially prepared for this ex- hibit and a considerable number are awaiting stands. It occurred to the Curator, that, as the classificat jn of mammals is determined in a great degree upon the teeth, their shape and construction, it would be instructive to have a number of skulls prepared to show the formation, situation and method of growth of the teeth, and four have been placed on exhibition, viz.: a bear, a beaver, a horse, and a walrus, representing the Orders of the Carnivora. Rodentia, Ungulata, and Pinnipedia. Others will be added as rapidly as opportunities offer, and, as this feature of Craniology is rather unique as well as novel and useful, it is hoped it may be carried out in the future and extended until not only the Orders, but also Families, and sometimes species, may be illustrated by this method. Three hun- dred and seven skulls belonging to specimens received have been cleaned and arranged in drawers. The Coral Room is nearly in complete order, and the collection has been rearranged and new labels provided, so that nothing detracts the attention from the specimens themselves ; and the general construction of the cases and the method of installation challenges the admiration of the visitor, be he layman or scientist, and has received from all quarters unstinted praise.

Taxidermy. — The Taxidermist (until his departure for British East Africa) and his assistants have been chiefly engaged on experi- mental ideas for new installations. Several large specimens have been mounted, however, for the systematic collection, and approxi- mately 400 skins prepared for the cabinet series. Attendance. — The total attendance record for the year is 207,867, being a decrease of over 37,000 below last year's figures. No special reason can be given for this deficiency. The decrease in the attendance of school children is also to be noted, and this may be accounted for by the fact that the principals of the schools are not aware of. the privileges which are accorded by the Museum to their 366 Field Colu.mbian Museum — Reports, Vol. II. pupils. The average daily attendance, from the point of figures, must be considered satisfactory, as few European museums boast of an average daily attendance of over five hundred. It is reason- able to suppose that if the Museum were located more conve- niently, a large increase in admissions would be realized. Ap- pended is a list of classes, thirty or more, that visited the Museum during the year just closed. A comparison between the daily attend- ance for the year ending September 30, 1904, and the year ending September 30, 1905, is also given. and LIST OF CLASSES. Schools and Location. Geo. W.

Following is a free tr.\nslation of the Memorul adopted by the Congress at Mons, Belgium, in September, 1905, providing for THE organization OF AN INTERNATIONAL BUREAU OF ETHNOGRAPHY: Article i. There is founded by the countries enumerated, and bv all those countries ■which hereafter subscribe to the present agreement, a permanent bureau entitled The International Bureau of Ethnography. Article 2. The object of the Bureau is the organization at common expense, of services pertaining to the scientific documenta- tion relative to the social state, the manners and customs of different peoples, especially peoples of inferior civilization. The Bureau especially concerns itself with the following objects: 1. The organization of a permanent bureau of inquiry, especially by: a). The publication of ethnographic and sociologic questions, keeping account of the initiatives of different countries and of the results obtained; b). T^^ie sending out of these questions through the medium of competent authorities to all those who are apt to furnish results, especially to Colonial officials, to explorers, to missionaries, etc. 2. The publication of the results of this inquiry upon a uniform plan, or upon a plan as uniform as possible. 3. The distribution of the results to the different contracting States, to participating learned associations and to the public in general under established conditions. 4. The elaboration of an ethnographic bibliography embody- ing the published writings (books and articles from periodicals) in all languages and in all countries; a). Published at all times (progressive service), b). Published during the current year (service to increase as much as possible). 5. The publication of the current part of this catalogue, and the communication of the results for the anterior part. Article 3. To this end there is established in Brussels an International Bureau of Ethnography charged with the organiza- tion of such divers services. Article 4. This bureau enjoys all the rights attached to a civil person after the manner of permitting him to receive gifts and bequests, and of contracting for work and pubhcation, of civil en- gagements in the sphere of their privileges. Article 5. The bureau functions under the direction of an international committee formed by the delegates of all the con- tracting states. This international committee will be composed of three delegates for each nation, of which one delegate shall have the title of National Commissioner, who shall be especially designated. They are nominated for a term of six years. This committee will unite at least once every two years, and consider all the decisions and conclusions relating to the Inter- national Bureau of Ethnography. It shall be empowered to con- vene more frequently, but at the initiative of the executive of the bureau or at the demand of four of the adhering states. Article 6. The national commissioners shall unite at least once each year and exercise the control of administration, and es- pecially verify the accounts. Each commissioner will be, in place of his government, the ordinary intermediary to the International Bureau of Ethnography. He will communicate to it the results received by way of missions, of inquiries or otherwise. He will transmit the requirements of the International Bureau to his Government or Principal. Article 7. In the interval between sessions, the execution of the scientific decisions of the international committee, and the man- agement of the administrative affairs, shall be confined to an execu- tive bureau composed of the President, permanent Secretary, and Assistant Secretary. For scientific affairs not foreseen, the Bureau shall take, through correspondence, the advice of the delegates of the different govern- ments. Likewise for administrative affairs not foreseen, the Bureau will take, through correspondence, the advice of the national com- missioners of the different governments. It shall be the duty of the bureau to fix the dates of the meet- ings of the international committee, as well as to convoke the dele- gates of the contracting states, indicating the order of the day of meeting. The communications to the International Bureau of Ethnog- raphy with the adhering governments will be through the inter- mediary of the national commissioners. Article 8. Each country may encourage the co-operation of its own learned men and own learned societies ; but the communica- tion of this organization shall be made to the International Bureau of Ethnography. The bureau may enter into direct relations with all societies of ethnography, of sociology, of geography and other scientific or- ganization which wish to co-operate in the realization of the aim of the Institution; likewise with men of science and, in general, individuals. Article 9. If the amount of donations, legacies and subsidies arisinjL,' from individuals or free insliUitiuns, capitalized at 3 per cent, reaches at least the sixth of the allowance of the ])articipating states, there shall he formed a committee of donors which shall be represented by twQ members of the international committee. Article 10. A report upon the work and the financial ad- ministration of the bureau shall be addressed each year to the adher- ing governments. To the report will be annexed a statement of the preliminary budget for the following year and the program of un- dertakings. Article ii. The budget of the International Bureau of Eth- nography will be supported by annual assessments of the contracting members and states, by the proceeds of the sale of publications and by taxes to be calculated upon information furnished, and by gifts and legacies. The amount of the assessments assigned annually to the bureau by the adhering states, is fixed at the minimum figure of . (This amount shall be fixed at the first meeting of the international committee:, it will depend in effect upon divers circumstances not yet determined, especially upon the number of languages into which the documents shall be translated and published.) The asses^ifients not consumed in the operations, shall be re- ported at the end of the year. They may serve, should there be a surplus, to constitute a reserve fund. Above the annual assessments a capital of (likewise re- served as above) shall be put the first year at the disposition of the bureau for installation expenses. The States and Colonies which shall hereafter make use of the privileges of joining, according to Article 17, shall have to pay their share of this sum upon the basis of assessments as fixed in Article 13. Article 12. The States and Colonies which withdraw from the bureau at the expiration of the first term of twenty years, shall lose their participating rights in the common fund. In case of liquidation the common fund shall be partitioned among the States and Colonies of the International Bureau after a basis of distribution as provided for in Article 13. Article 13. The contributing part of the contracting states in the annual assessment to the International Bureau of Ethnog- raphy, as well as the first installments, is established in units upon the double base of their population and of economic activity. As for population, a unit shall be considered as 500,000 inhabit- ants. As for economic activity, a unit shall be considered as 50,- 000,000 francs of foreign commerce, imports and exports together. Article 14. The amount of the personal contribution of each state is rendered in an agreed proportion in subscriptions to pub- lications calculated at a price of public sale reduced one-fifth. The use of collections by the delegates of the central administra- tion of the adhering states is free. It shall answer, without expense, to all their demands for information. Article 15. The total assessment of the contracting states divided by the sum of the units attributed to each of them in execu- tion of the preceding arrangements, will give the unit of the part leviable. It will suffice to multiply this by the number of units assigned to each of the states to find the amount of its contribution to the budget of the International Bureau of Ethnography. Article 16. In order to place the institution in position to reahze its object as exact and complete as possible, the contracting parties engage themselves each so far as concerns its own country. 1 To execute, as rapidly as possible, the obUgations springing from Article 2. 2 To address to the International Bureau: a). A copy of all official publications (books or periodicals) appearing which pertain to the aim of the institution. b). The Hst, manuscript or printed, of all works (books or pamphlets) which shall appear in the future. This list which shall be addressed to the Bureau of Ethnography with as much regularity as possible, shall be held as official. It shall indicate for each work the name and surname of the author, or the name of the pubhsher. The title of the work with eventually such necessary supplementary directions as to assure a methodic classification by contents of the work, on examining the title, the place and date of publication, the size, number of pages and price. Article 16. The rule of procedure having the same obligatory force as the present convention, but within the limits of this same, shall be made by the international committee. Article 17. Those States and Colonies which have not taken part in the present convention, may be admitted later. Their ac- cession will be made in writing to the Belgian Government which shall make the fact known to all the other contracting governments. The accession shall carry in full right adhesion of all the clauses and ad- missions, to all the advantages stipulated in the present convention. Article 18. The present convention shall go into effect the and shall remain in effect during twenty years. If twelve months before the expiration of the first twenty years, the present convention shall not disband, the Bureau shall exist during a new period of twenty years, and so on. Withdrawal shall be addressed to the Belgian Government. It shall not be in effect as regards the country which shall make it, the convention remaining executor for the other adhering countries. Later the National Museum and the Field Museum were invited to become members of the provisional organizing body. ^ i i I
