90 REPOKT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1913. 



The screen inclosure in the north wing of the new building, con- 

 structed for the paintings of the Gallery and furnishing about 950 run- 

 ning feet of interior wall surface, has been fully occupied at all times, 

 and to some extent the outer surfaces at the ends of the inclosure 

 have also been utiUzed. All permanent acquisitions have, as usual, 

 been photograplied and glazed as received, only 4 of the paintings in 

 the collection, which are of too large a size to permit of this means of 

 protection, being without glass at this time. 



The vacancy in the Smithsonian Advisory Committee on the Na- 

 tional Gallery of Art, caused by the death of Francis Davis Millet, 

 its chairman, one of the victims of the Titanic disaster in the spring of 



1912, was fiUed by the appointment of Mr. C. Y. Turner, director of the 

 Maryland Institute Schools of Art and Design in Baltimore. There 

 have been no other changes in the personnel of this committee since 

 its organization in 1908, and its membership is as follows: Mi*. C. Y. 

 Turner, Chairman, Mr. Frederick Crownmshield, Mr. Edwin H. 

 Blashfield, IVIi-. Herbert Adams, and Mr. William H. Holmes, Secre- 

 tary. The Gallery was represented at the annual convention of the 

 American Federation of Arts, held in Washmgton on May 15 and 16, 



1913, by its curator, Mi\ Holmes. 



Below is given a list of the paintings and sculpture which were on 

 exhibition in connection with the Gallery at the close of last year, 

 Jmie 30, 1913. It includes both the permanent possessions of the 

 Gallery and the loans, but none of the many works of art assigned to 

 various other branches of the Museum, such as graphic arts, history,
