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 closing September 30, 1900. Your Director has been absent from his post several months of the period covered by this report, and must rely more than usual upon the reports of the heads of departments for such information as is conveyed to you hereby. As will be apparent from the details following, very im- portant improvements have been made, and owing to the personal attention given by the President to the executive work of the institu- tion, the year records unusual activity and progress. An important action of the Executive Committee has been the abandonment of all the industrial and historical collections of the Museum. With the exception of the annex occupied by transportation, the halls hereto- fore occupied by the industrial arts have been or soon will be trans- ferred to the use of the Department of Anthropology, and the material heretofore contained therein returned to the donor, presented to appropriate institutions or stored away for further consideration. In this connection it is well to note the distribution of the material, photographs, paintings, etc., in Columbus Memorial Hall to the Chi- cago Historical Society, the University of Chicago, the Newberry Library, and to a number of schools in the state; also the presenta- tion by President Higinbotham of the collection of dressed and undressed skins of mammals, birds and reptiles that may be utilized for commercial purposes, to the Commercial Museum of Philadelphia. This collection, which had attracted considerable attention, had been purchased with other material from Tiffany & Company of New York by Mr. Higinbotham and presented to the Museum. The action of the Trustees above referred to rendered this material inappropriate under the scope adopted and it was returned to Mr. Higinbotham, who, as stated, presented it to a museum devoted to commercial ends. Staff of the Museum. — The personnel of the staff remains prac- tically unchanged. The resignation of Mr. Dieserud, Librarian of 433 434 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. i. the Museum, was accepted during the month of July, and Miss Elsie Lippincott was appointed as his successor. Mr. E. N. Guiret was appointed as Osteologist early in the spring, that post having been vacant over a year. No other changes occurred in the staff of the Museum. Income and Maintenance. — The budget authorized by the Execu- tive Committee provided for the sum of $102,000 for the maintenance of the Museum for the year ending September 30, 1900. The amount expended was $94,938, showing a balance of $7,062 within the antici- pated expenses. In addition to this amount $25,924 was expended by the authority of the Executive Committee for collections, expeditions, etc., bringing the total expenditure for the year to #120,862. Com- paring the cost of maintenance with the sums used for like purposes in previous years, it is noticed there is quite an increase in the amount expended for general repairs of the building, including the tedious and expensive labor now in progress of strengthening the main floor. It is especially gratifying that, notwithstanding the unusual cost of repairs and improvements to the building, the funds have been found within the limits of the budget for maintenance, and there remains several thousand dollars of this fund yet to its credit for the year. The Memberships. — The number of annual members still decreases; twenty-nine resignations having been accepted during the year. This annual decrease in these memberships may, of course, be expected so long as no effort is made to maintain the integrity of the list, which effort would not be likely to give entire satisfaction for the reason that the Museum is so generous in the privileges extended to the pub- lic that there remains very little inducement for the payment of an annual subscription. Lecture Courses — Two courses were given as usual in the autumn and spring, bringing the number of courses given by the Museum up to thirteen. The participation of Messrs. Harlan I. Smith, Stewart Culin and James Mooney in the last course was a gratifying feature, importantly connected as they are with kindred institutions in the east. The attendance upon these lectures has been steadily good, and in some instances the large number of students and teachers has been observed with much satisfaction. The will- ingness with which well-known instructors and lecturers participate, without compensation, in these courses is an evidence of their per- sonal sympathy with the work as well as an indication of a growing confidence in the general good that is being accomplished in this community.

There are now on hand 2,022 slides, classified as follows : Anthropology, 412 Botany, 498 Geology, 575 Zoology, 405 General, 132 2,022 Publications. — During the year ten publications were issued and also the second part of Prof. Cory's "The Birds of Eastern North America." It is expected that valuable additions will be made to the Museum publications during the ensuing year, four important papers being now in preparation by the Museum staff. The system of dis- tributing the publications remains the same as in the past except in the matter of return acknowledgments. A private mailing card is now inserted in each publication, to be returned as an acknowledgment instead of the paper form used heretofore. This form has demon- strated its usefulness economically, and has given general satisfaction both to the Museum and to the recipient. Oct. 1900.

In the matter of the exchange of contemporaneous publications, the Director of the Museum requests that all publications from other Institutions, Societies, Organizations, or individuals intended to be given to this Museum, in exchange for its publications or otherwise, be directed to the Library of the Field Columbian Museum and not to the departments, or to any individual upon the staff. The Library. — The accessions in the library during the year were 881 volumes and 2,360 pamphlets. Most of these acquisitions were received in exchange for the Museum publications. It is grati- fying to be able to state that not only have the Museum correspond- ents promptly sent their current publications, but in many instances they have readily volunteered to supply back numbers, in order to complete sets. A demand for more standard works of reference relat- ing to the departments represented in the Museum still remains. The most notable accession to the library was the splendid gift from Mr. Edward E. Ayerof his carefully selected Ornithological library, num- bering approximately 400 volumes, many of them rare and all of the highest value. Special book cases were built for their installation, and also a special standing case for the set of Audobon. The author and shelf list catalogues are kept up to date. In the General Library much labor has resulted from the almost constant shifting of books to make room for accessions. To provide required space in the central room 348 books and pamphlets on Economic Geology were transferred to the branch library located in the Department of Geol- ogy. Three hundred and eighty books have been received from the binders. There are now 23,000 titles in the John Crerar Library Duplicate Catalogue. The total number of volumes and pamphlets in the library at this time reaches 24,349, distributed as follows: Books. Pamphlets.

The abandonment of the Department of Columbus Memorial entailed an unusual amount of labor. Receipts were obtained for all of the material distributed and the records show where and when each specimen was distributed. The total number of specimens accessioned during the year has been 64,921 and classified as follows : No. of No. of Accessions.

Newly descriptive labels were provided for the series of framed enlargements of the cuts illustrating mining in the sixteenth century. Several hundred large specimens which had been imperfectly labeled were provided with descriptive labels. Many single collections were also fully labeled, of which might be mentioned the Mazon Creek fossils, local Niagara fossils and dinosaur remains. In the Department of Zoology an un- usual number of labels has been written, the total exceeding those of any previous year. The system of cataloguing in the Department of Botany has been considerably improved by the introduction of a new system requiring but little clerical work to keep it up to date. In this connection the report of the Curator of the Department of Botany is given in full : " The method of handling incoming material is as follows : Upon receipt of a collection a blank form of accession giving the date of receipt, collector's name, locality represented, number of specimens and how acquired, is filled out and deposited with the Recorder of the Museum, The collection is then stored away until its turn for installation. When laid out for mounting, the labels are permanently attached to the sheets, the plants are placed upon them, and all are superimposed in an open-ended box ready for consecutive handling by the mounter. After mounting, the sheets are arranged in the Oct. 1900. Annual Report of the Director. 441 order of the collector's numbers and so entered in the record volume then in use, the corresponding serial catalogue number of the volume being placed upon each sheet as entered. (The catalogue numbers commence at unity in Vol. 1, and continue unbroken through all suc- ceeding volumes.) Should a previous collection, or even a single specimen, made by the same collector in the locality have already been entered in the catalogue, the last entry of that collection is referred on to the first entry of the new lot, a rubber stamp reading : 'To Vol. .., page ..,' being used for this purpose, thus rendering the catalogue of each collector's material virtually consecutive. Immediately upon the completion of the entry an index and is made out, or the old card changed, to include the new lot. The form of the card is as follows : Millspaugh, Dr. C.

The work of keeping up such a series of cards is infinitely slight,, while the status of the collections is thereby positively known, and ready reference to all collectors and localities represented in. the col- lections is at the hand of any one desiring to use the material. As to the time required to keep such systematic records no details can be given, but the fact that over 50,000 specimens have been mounted and distributed, and over 80,000 recorded, by two persons in five years, while attending to the various duties of this department, will serve to give some idea of this work. " The year's work in the Museum on catalogues and inventorying is shown in detail as follows : Department. Anthropology, . Botany, . . . Geology, . . . Library, . Ornithology, . Photography, Zoology, . Accessions.— Very important accessions have been received by the Museum during the year. The most notable in the Department of Anthropology were the Perrine collection, from the quarry sites of Union County, Illinois, containing many of the finest chipped and polished stone implements ever brought together; a collection of over 1,000 objects from prehistoric graves in Chile, presented by Mr. Cyrus H. McCormick; a large collection from the Swiss Lake dwell- ings, consisting of a fine series of ornaments, utensils, bronze, bones, stones, etc., presented by Vice-President Ryerson ; over 3,000 objects illustrating the archaeology and ethnology of the Hopi, being the result of the four Stanley McCormick expeditions ; and a collection of 2,000 ethnological specimens from various tribes in the western states, acquired by the Museum expeditions. The purchase of the Patterson herbarium containing 30,000 specimens of North American plants was a most noteworthy contribution to the Department of Botany. A series of selected duplicates containing 1,018 specimens, representing the collections of Miss Eastwood in California and Colorado, was also a highly prized addition. The sets of plants newly collected by Messrs. Clute, Heller, Poland, Pringle and Rick- secker were also purchased. Most of the accessions in the Depart- ment of Zoology were secured by the Museum's collector in the field. A Canon Diablo meteorite, weighing 76 pounds, from the Edward E. Oct. 1900. Annual Report of the Director. 443 Ayer Pioneer Hose Company of Phcenix, Arizona ; specimens of the Allegan, Oakland and St. Genevieve County meteorites ; representa- tive series of quartz geodes of the Keokuk beds ; the collection of fossil dinosaurs obtained by Assistant Curator Riggs, and a repre- sentative series of cave formations obtained by Curator Farrington, have been added to the collections in the department of Geology. Through the generosity of Mr. W. J. Chalmers, funds were provided which enabled the department to prepare a collection of crystals of the United States minerals for exhibition at the Paris Exposition. At the close of the exposition the collection will be returned to the Museum. It was awarded a silver medal. Exchanges. — This system of obtaining material is still found advantageous, and exchange relations have been sustained with an increased number of institutions both at home and abroad during the year. Amongst such institutions may be mentioned the following: The British Museum, London; the Free Museum, Liverpool; Grey Herbarium, Cambridge; Hof Museum, Berlin; the Botanical Gardens, Natal, South Africa; the Institute of Mines, St. Petersburg, Russia; Hope Botanical Gardens, Jamaica; besides a number of prominent individual collectors. The number of specimens sent in exchange during the year was 1,596, representing 21 transactions. The number of specimens received in exchange was 4,348, representing 28 trans- actions. Expeditions and Field Work. — An unusual amount of work has been done during the year in the field. The following is a list of the expeditions: Locality. Collectors. Ozark Mountains, Arkansas, H. W. Nichols, Six Nation Reserve, Canada, S. C. Simms, Pacific Coast States, . Union County, Illinois, Western Colorado, . . . . E. S. Riggs, . . Muskoka Lakes, Ontario, Canada, S. E. Meek, . .

In connection with field work, emphatic and grateful mention should be made of the valuable aid received from Mr. Stanley McCormick for continuing the work among the Hopi Indians. The Curator of the Department of Zoology says: " The value of field work has never been more thoroughly demonstrated than during the past year, when in the Department of Zoology, of the total accessions more than one-half were acquired by collectors in the field. The work of the department covered Muskoka Lakes, Ontario, New Brunswick and Quebec, Canada, and Florida. At the present time the department has but one collector in the field, while several col- lectors in different parts of the United States could be employed with great advantage. Many of our mammals are annually becoming scarcer and more difficult to obtain, and of these the Museum has yet to acquire a large number. Of many of these sufficient should be obtained for special installation in groups with requisite accessories, and the only method of procuring the specimens in the condition and of the age required is to seek them in their habitat." The Curator of Anthropology says: " The event of unusual importance has been the additional interest manifested in the department by the gift of Mr. Stanley McCormick of $5,400 for the purpose of making more complete the Hopi exhibit. Under this fund four expeditions have been undertaken. Assistant Burt spent December and January in the exploration of several Hopi ruins along Little Colorado River, Arizona, and as a result the exhibits showing the ancient life of the Hopi have been increased by over 300 fine specimens of pottery, bone, stone, shell, and textile fabrics. Part of this collector's time was spent in examining ruins hitherto not represented in scientific museums, and while the full significance of his discoveries is not yet determined, it is safe to say that new factors have been added to our knowledge of the early movements of certain Hopi clans. The second McCormick expedition was that of the Curator and Mr. Voth in December to six of the Hopi pueblos, at which time notable additions FIELD COLUMBIAN MUSEUM. REPORTS, PL. XLIII. Hopi Shrine at Corn Rocks, Middle Mesa— Stanley McCormick Expedite Oct. 1900. Annual Report of the Director. 445 were made to the collections illustrative of the modern life of their occupants. While these additional specimens cover nearly every phase of activity, of special interest are the series of rare dolls, masks, prayer-sticks apd pipes. The third McCormick expedition was in charge of Assistant Burt, who spent two months in completing investi- gations begun earlier in the year on the lower Little Colorado River, Arizona. As a result of this expedition a large amount of material was added from graves and house ruins of the prehistoric Hopi, thus extending the collections into a hitherto unexplored region. The fourth McCormick expedition was in charge of Assistant Owen, who left Chicago early in May and is at present in the field, it being expected that he will not return until early in December. The object of this McCormick expedition is to make a careful and extensive exploration of about fifteen Hopi ruins, eight of which have never before been disturbed. It is too early yet to predict the final result of this expedition, but it is confidently expected that over 2,500 objects will be added to the already extensive prehistoric Hopi collections and that our knowledge of the early distribution of the Hopi will be materially increased. As a result of the work done up to the present time over forty boxes of material have been received by the Museum." The Curator of the Department of Geology says: " In continuation of the work of collecting zinc and lead ores for the Paris Exposition, Assistant Curator Nichols spent several weeks in the early part of the year in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas visiting the principal mines of the region. A representative series of ores was secured, which will revert to the Museum after the exposition. In the spring two months were spent in Paris by the Curator under appointment as Honorary Mineralogist to the Commissioner General of the United States. Opportunity was here afforded to study methods of installa- tion and the mineral products of various countries. The work of collecting fossil dinosaurs was continued during the summer by an expedition made to Colorado by Assistant Curator Riggs and Pre- parator Menke. The locality worked was one hitherto unknown, but the result of the summer's visit proved most satisfactory. One leg bone found, probably a humerus, was six feet ten inches in length, exceeding by several inches any such bone ever found before and giving proof of the existence of an animal of the dinosaur type larger than was ever before described. Several vertebrae, ribs and pelvic bones of the same individual were also found. Remains of some- what smaller dinosaurs were also secured, chiefly vertebras and bones, including one nearly complete fore leg. About seventy negatives of quarry and landscape views were taken. In addition a representa- 446 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. i. tive collection of the snake and lizard fauna of the region was made and a few invertebrate fossils obtained. The courtesy of the offi- cials of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and of the Denver and Rio Grande railroads deserves grateful acknowledgment in connec- tion with the work of this expedition. During the month of August the Curator visited Wyandotte, Marengo and several other caves of southern Indiana, for the purpose of securing a representative series of cave formations. By the kind permission of the cave owners, and assisted by the courtesy of officials of the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville Railroad, a large amount of material was secured. The total number of specimens obtained was about 300, mostly stalactites and stalagmites, remarkable in many instances for their size and beauty. The Curator of the Department of Botany says: " The only field work carried on has been that of Preparator Lansing, who has continued, under the supervision of the Curator, his collec- tion of the plants of the 'Lake Chicago Basin,' in which he has secured an addition of 512 specimens, including many rare local species, and has continued his notes on the region. This work is particularly important, as not many years hence nearly the whole dis- tinctive plant life of the section under study will become extinct through the drainage and reclaiming of the land and the extension of the city of Chicago and surrounding suburban towns. The Curator has made two extended visits to the herbarium of the Gray Botanical Gardens at Cambridge, Mass., and that of the New York Botanical Garden, for the purpose of comparing new material with specimens, and securing drawings, tracings, and descriptions of type specimens in these institutions." Installation, Rearrangement and Permanent Improvements. — The capacity of the mechanical force has been fully tested this year, for besides the routine work for which the force is maintained, an extra- ordinary amount of new work has been performed. The whole build- ing requires constant attention, and the carpenters and painters could be kept steadily employed on general repairs if no more important work seemed to demand their labor. While the building is meeting the demands upon it most remarkably, and is in a state of preserva- tion that no one anticipated could be maintained for five years after the close of the exposition, yet it is gradually failing, and the great- est watchfulness is required to anticipate growing weaknesses and to foresee necessary repairs. At the request of the president, D. H. Burnham & Co., the well-known architects, made a careful examina- tion of the building, followed by a report in writing containing valu- FIELD COLUMBIAN MUSEUM.

Oct. 1900. Annual Report of the Director. 447 able suggestions; the most important being that the carrying capacity of the main floor should be increased and the supports under the same strengthened. This work is in progress at the date of this report. The exterior of the building has received attention from the plasterers and painters; the improved appearance, as compared with that of the previous year, being noticeable. The roof sections resist the varying temperature and excessive rain and snow fall, wind pres- sure, etc., in a surprising manner, although of course it is a fact that the roof has been almost entirely reconstructed since the close of the exposition in 1893. One hundred and fifty dollars has been expended for standpipe to facilitate extinguishing fire in the dome. The year has witnessed the construction of much needed additions to the offices and laboratories of the* curators of the different depart- ments. In the Department of Anthropology a two-floor general office and workshop have been constructed, constituting, as a matter of fact, one of the most admirable improvements that have been made in the Museum. The laboratory in this department has also been extended, thus securing an entire area of 1,800 square feet. In the Department of Botany the work, aside from the changes made necessary in re- arranging and adjusting to provide room for Zoology, consists entirely of the work in the Herbarium, additional floor space being acquired for this by building a gallery floor just south of the Curator's office, and on the east side of the North Court. This room adds about 540 square feet. Sixteen cases have been added to accommodate the incoming specimens. For the Department of Zoology, the labor- atory constructed along the entire length of the South Gallery of the South Court has been assigned, for the present at least, to the Assist- ant Curator of Ichthyology. In the Department of Geology the demands of the Division of Paleontology for more working area has caused the reduction of the space occupied by the Library and the removal of a large number of books to the office of the Curator. Further facilities for working in this department must be provided, however, for the present space is most apparently inadequate. The Curator of the Department of Anthropology reports as fol- lows regarding the installation work in that department: "The installation of Halls 16 and 17 is completed and they are now devoted entirely to the Hopi Indians of Arizona. The contents of these two very interesting and instructive halls are due almost exclusively to the generosity of Mr. Stanley McCormick, whose purchase of the Voth collections was noted in my last report. Owing to the provision of Mr. McCormick's gift, the services of Mr. Voth were continued until May of this year. This made possible not only a very complete 448 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. i. labeling of the specimens, but the preparation of additional altars. As a result the two halls contain an unrivaled collection of Hopi ethnological material ; the following altars : Snake, Flute, Antelope, Powalawu, Katcina, Powamu, Marau, Ooqolto, Soyal ; the Ballulu- konti screen ; and the following groups : House group of five figures, Rabbit hunter, Hemis and Ana Katcinas of two figures each, with two figures in the Soyal altar scene, and one in the Ooqolto altar case. In the work of installation the year has been productive of much that is of a progressive nature, and one feature of the work is character- istic of the more recent trend of development in the Museum as a whole. Allusion is made to the fact that Halls 8 and 9, which since the establishment of the Museum have contained the material trans- ferred from the exposition and known as Columbus Memorial, have been emptied of their contents and are now being installed with purely anthropologic collections. Hall 9, one of the four largest in the building, is already installed with the Egyptian collections, while Hall 8 and the hall made vacant by the transfer of the Egyptian col- lection are to be devoted to the continually increasing collections illustrating the culture of the more primitive non-American races. The two halls devoted to the ethnology of the northwest coast of America have also been dismantled, the collections having been care- fully examined and the objects compared with collectors' original lists, and have been reinstalled in new cases in the same halls, to which will be added four ethnic groups, for which casts have already been made, illustrating certain phases of the domestic and religious life of this very interesting and complicated region." The Curator of the Department of Geology reports as follows : " The large piles of loose ore which formerly occupied the floor of Hall 72 have been removed. In their place a large central case and two pyramids have been substituted. A wall case has also been put in position against the north wall. The large ore specimens formerly piled along the walls have been installed in these cases and upon the pyramids, thus giving the hall a much neater appearance and insuring protection of the specimens. Thorough identification and cleaning of the speci- mens has been performed in connection with their reinstallation. A large wall case for the accommodation of specimens formerly piled along the wall has been added to Hall 79, and all of the specimens in the hall except a few of the largest are now neatly cased. Several of the collections in the hall have been rearranged to secure better lighting and more orderly grouping, and the specimens have been re-identified and cleaned. The collection of rocks and fossils accom- panying petroleum, Hall 71, has been rearranged, some new material Oct. 1900. Annual Report of the Director. 449 added and the whole fully labeled. The interiors of several cases in this hall have been repainted. The collection of rocks of the Saar- brucken coal fields has been transferred to Hall 70 (coals and hydro- carbons). The use of a base for the installation of this collection which slopes from the center to two sides of the case has proved most satisfactory in the way of securing good lighting of the speci- mens. It is intended to substitute frequently such bases for the pyramids hitherto employed. In the place left vacant in Hall 66 by removal of the above-mentioned collection, the collection of rocks accompanying the iron ores of Lake Superior has been installed. The large .map in Hall 62, showing localities of meteorite falls in the United States, has been brought up to date. New relief maps obtained by gift or purchase have been placed in position in Hall 60, space for their exhibition being secured by the removal of several wall maps which had less value. The collection of dinosaur bones made by the Wyoming Expedition of last year was cleared from the matrix and made ready for exhibition during the winter months. To provide for exhibition of the specimens, additional floor cases were placed in both Halls 36 and 59, as well as a base for mounting a hind leg. The specimens of Dinosaur remains now on exhibition in these halls include a hind leg and portion of the pelvic girdle of Morosaurus ; a series of sixteen caudal vertebrae, reaching a total length of fifteen feet, of Diplodocus ; a scapula and coracoid over five feet in length of Morosaurus ; a femur of Diplodocus of about the same length and many miscellaneous vertebras and pelvic and leg bones of Diplodocus, Brontosaurus and Creosaurus. A large slab of reptile tracks from Turner's Falls, Massachusetts, has been framed to insure its preservation, and placed in position in Hall 36. The exteriors of the floor cases in Hall 35 have been repainted. The laboratory of vertebrae paleontology has been enlarged by adding to it space formerly occupied by the departmental library, the book-cases from the latter having been transferred to the office. The equipment of this laboratory has been further increased by the addition of a turn- ing lathe, bench, and sink with running water. To the departmental store-room a stack of storage trays and a mineral trimmer have been added, the latter proving especially serviceable. The temporary sheet iron stack leading from the furnace to the assay room having become worn out, a permanent brick stack has been constructed. At the same time a solid stone floor was laid and a new pot furnace for making small crucible assays built." The Curator of the Department of Botany in the prosecution of his notable work in the herbarium, extensions to which have been necessary during the year, says : 45° Field Columbian Museum— Reports, Vol. i. " The steady influx of specimens rendered an increase of space for cases an urgent necessity early in the year, and an extension 30 x 18 feet was planned and built over the east gallery adjoining the Cur- ator's office. This was finished and ready for occupancy early in May. It has three large north windows, and accommodates eighteen herbarium cases of the new construction described below, twelve of the old Bebbian cases, two special research tables and a long dis- tributing table as well. The herbarium now has a total of sixty-eight cases, containing in all 1,744 pigeon-holes. Through this enlarge- ment the storage room was freed of much accumulated material, and its space became available for systematic arrangement. This room now contains, besides the mounting table and accessories, a continu- ous rack bearing sixteen large tin cases of fifteen pigeon-holes each for the poisoning and storage of duplicates preparatory to their dis- tribution, and eighteen similar cases of trays for the storage of the larger fruits and seeds pertaining to the herbarium sheets. All of the cases in the herbarium from its inception have been constructed upon a principle that renders them as nearly air-tight as possible. The interiors are so arranged that a two-inch space exists between the face of the pigeon-holes and the door, and a like space between the perpendicular stops at their back and the back of the case itself. By this means internal circulation is complete, and as much insecti- fuge as may be deemed advisable can be thrown through between the stops, where it is retained free of the pigeon-holes at the bottom of the case. Here also all plant detritus automatically collects with the withdrawal and insertion of the plant fascicles as they are used. A half round groove, one-quarter of an inch deep, is run completely around the inner face of the door frame, which fits over a like bead on the inner stop; this renders the cases insect and dust proof. The doors are glass paneled, affording a comprehensive view of the con- tents of each case, thus avoiding the necessity of referring to an index when locating the orders. In the earlier cases two semi-circu- lar spaces were cut from the face edge of the shelves, in order that the fascicles of plants might be readily grasped for withdrawal by one or both hands. This method is, however, open to strong objection, as the frequent grasping of the bundles breaks the plants contained and soils the genus covers as well. In order to avoid this the fol- lowing scheme, converting each pigeon-hole into a drawer, has been adopted : Sheets of heavy straw-board, one inch longer than the depth of the pigeon-holes and slightly narrower, were procured, and a strip of black muslin two inches wide firmly glued on the face of one end. The reverse side was then scored half through one inch FIELD COLUMBIAN MUSEUM. REPORTS, PL. XLVI. Herbarium Case — (See Page 451.) — Field Columbian Museum. Oct. 1900. Annual Report of the Director. 451 from the edge and parallel to it, and the end bent downward, thus forming a flap dropping over the face edge of the pigeon-hole. These ' slides ' are placed under the fascicles in each pigeon-hole, and when pulled forward by the drop, bring the contents forward for inspection. The drops of the slides may be left blank, or order, section, or genus labels may be pasted upon them as desired. The facility with which the contents of the pigeon-holes are consulted through the use of these slides has been a daily source of comfort and a great saving of time and wear. These cases have, however, the great fault of all herbarium cases — the nuisance of swinging doors. To overcome this the Curator devised the following form, arranged internally like those described above, but with the door so constructed that it can be pushed back between the case and its neighbor, thus leaving the contents entirely free from obstruction. Twelve of such cases have been built and installed in the new room and have proven perfectly practical and satisfactory. They are nearly seven feet high, by three feet four inches wide, and contain forty-five five-inch pigeon-holes and three sliding shelves each. They are placed back to back in six separable pairs (A. A. B. B.), thus affording ample accommodation for the doors when pushed back out of the way. When set in place the pairs are held rigidly together by the tracks (c. c. e. e.) in which the doors slide; the cleats (i. i. i. i.) being fixed in place by strong screws before the metal guide-strip (c. c. e. e.) is attached. The door is hinged at g. g. to the wing piece (E. E.), which slides forth • and back with it on the track, and is supported at all points in its movement by the silent pivoted caster (h). This caster is mounted in a hardwood block which serves the purpose of a check to the door when pushed back, and a foot press when locking it after closing. The operation of the door requires no more effort than that expended with the ordinary kind ; it is simply opened until checked by meeting the face of the wing, then thrust away with a push. In closing it is pulled forward by the key of the lock until stopped by the rolling pins (d. d.), then swung shut. Although the door is entirely separate from the case itself, yet by the bead and groove construction men- tioned above, these cases are perfectly tight when closed. When arranged side by side in the herbarium, they occupy but two inches more space than the ordinary case, while the door arrangement allows the tiers to be much closer together." The acquisition of the South Court by the Department of. Zoology gave room for an expan- sion of exhibition material, the demands for which had existed for some time, and two fine groups have made their appearance, the Polar Bear and the Greater Koodoo. The taxidermist has in 452 Field Columbian Museum — Reports, Vol. i. addition to the special features upon which he has been engaged, placed on exhibition thirty-two specimens of individuals for the sys- tematic collections in Halls 19 and 20. The large shell collection has been entirely worked over by the Assistant Curator in the Depart- ment of Zoology, and special paper block labels have been substi- tuted for the old ones, and the value of the collection, for whatever purpose it ma)' be considered, greatly enhanced. Photography, Illustration and Printing. — These divisions have had a busy year, and both in the quantity and quality of work exe- cuted, have made an excellent record. The addition of microscopic appurtenances in the Division of Photography has permitted a new and important line of work to be entered upon, while the provision of new type and other facilities have brought the printing office up to a standard of considerable proficiency.

In addition the mailing list has been attended to. Attendance. — The increase in the attendance must be considered gratifying; the figures showing an increase of 43,595 over 1899 in the total attendance for the year. The visit of the members of the Grand Oct. 1900. Annual Report of the Director. 453 Army of the Republic helped this to an extent. The Museum pre- pared a framed directory of the museums, galleries and libraries of the city, which has been hung in the different hotels and other pub- lic places for the guidance of visitors to Chicago. It has been noted especially during the summer just passed that a large number of people visiting the Museum were evidently strangers in the city, which leads one to the conclusion that the fame of the institution is spread- ing, and that it is now regarded as one of the points of attraction to those who are transient in the city. The demands of visitors for the printed guide continues with gratification, and the sixth edition made its appearance this year, somewhat improved over previous issues because of a condensation of bulk without a relinquishment of fact.
