116 THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART 



The total number at the Corcoran Gallery on July i, 1909, the 

 date to which this account has been brought, was 84. During 

 the first week of July the entire collection was transferred to 

 the National Museum. Since then Mr. Evans has transmitted 

 two paintings, as follows: Groton Long Point Dunes, by Henry 

 D. Ranger, and Ideal Head, by the late Henry B. Fuller, and 

 has announced the purchase for the gallery of The South Strand, 

 by Emil Carlsen, and Southwesterly Gale, St. Ives, by Frederick 

 J.Waugh. 



In preparing the biographical sketches of artists, in the fol- 

 lowing list, the writer has made free use of the information 

 contained in that helpful volume, the American Art Annual, 

 edited by Miss Florence N. Levy, to whom he begs to express 

 his indebtedness.
