the U. S. Department of Agriculture, who has been acting as director 

 of the expedition since Dr. Rusby was compelled to leave them on 

 account of ill health; Dr. O. E. White, assistant botanist at the Brook- 

 lyn Botanical Gardens and orchidologist of this expedition for Dr. 

 Oakes Ames of the Bussey Institution of Harvard University ; Dr. 

 Everett Pearson, ichthyologist of the University of Indiana, who has 

 been collecting fishes on this expedition for the forthcoming work on 

 the fishes of South America by Prof. Eigenmann of Indiana University, 

 reptiles for Dr. Noble of the American Museum of Natural History 

 nnd batrachians for Prof. Ruthven of the University of Michigan. 



Messrs. MacCreagh, Brown and McCarty, the motion-picture photog- 

 raphers, who accompanied the exploration, will remain until the latter 

 part of May. In addition to photographic work, they are at present 

 investigating a special problem for Dr. Rusby concerning the use of 

 certain drug plants among the Indians of the lower Uaupes River and its 

 tributaries near the Brazilian-Colombian frontier. 



Dr. Mann reports that all members of his party are in good health 

 and that they are bringing back with them about two and a half tons of 

 scientific material. In addition to the preserved specimens, they have 

 a small menagerie of living animals for the National Zoological Garden 

 at Washington. 



These collections, supplementing the very large amount already 

 shipped home and brought home by Dr. Rusby, will form a very notable 

 contribution to the scientific investigation of South America, notwith- 

 standing that the entire period between the time of leaving and of 

 returning to New York is less than eleven months. 



Arrangements are being made for a reception to the scientists of this 

 exploration, including a number of their friends and many prominent 

 leaders in the various departments of scientific work represented.
