REPORT OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY. 63 



Gilniore as preparators, and of Mr. Norman H. Boss as assistant 

 preparator. 



Mr. David White, of the IT. S. Geolooical Survey, has been desig- 

 nated associate curator of paleobotany in the place of Prof. Lester F. 

 Ward, now an associate. 



Dr. Frederick W. True, head curator of biology, was designated the 

 representative of the Smithsonian Institution and National Museum 

 on the Government Board for the Lewis and Clark Exposition at 

 Portland, Oregon, and Dr. Marcus W. Lyon, jr., chief special agent 

 in the same connection. 



IVIr. W. I. Adams, chief clerk of the Bureau of International 

 Exchanges, has been appointed disbursing agent of the Smithsonian 

 Institution for its several bureaus, including the National Museum. 



LTnder the provisions of the act of Congress, approved March 3, 

 1905, prohibiting the employment of volunteers by the Government, 

 it has been necessary to discontinue the gratuitous services of Dr. T. 

 H. Bean as honorary curator of fishes and Dr. B. E. Fernow as hon- 

 orary curator of forestry, as these gentlemen are no longer connected 

 with the Government service. It may also be mentioned in this con- 

 nection that the title of ''honorary," as applied to curators and sub- 

 ordinate positions on the scientific stafi", has been discontinued as 

 superfluous, since hereafter all persons actively connected with the 

 staft', whether paid from the appropriation for the Museum or not, must 

 be in the employ of the Government. 



A list of the officers constituting the scientific and administrative 

 staff follows:
