on the Mongolian fauna, Dr. G. G. Simpson will study and describe 

 the Museum's collection of Paleocene mammals. 



Dr. C. L. Gazin completed his extended study of the Cumberland 

 Cave Pleistocene fauna and submitted it for publication. Two 

 papers, "A New Shrew from the Upper Pliocene of Idaho" and 

 "The Status of the Extinct American Eland", were published, and 

 a manuscript, "New Felids from the Upper Pliocene of Idaho", was 

 submitted for publication. Some progress was made on his study 

 of the Plesippus materials, as well as a beginning in the study of 

 other portions of the Idaho collections, particularly the mustelids 

 and lagomorphs. 



Dr. Remington Kellogg, as in previous years, continued his re- 

 searches on the cetacean collection, tliis past year being more par- 

 ticularly applied to the zeuglodonts. 



Research by outside investigators aided by Museum material. — 

 During the year 1,767 specimens were lent for study, and 463 lots 

 of material were received for examination and report. 



In the paleontological division, Dr. David White was engaged on 

 a description of the Pottsville flora of Ilhnois. Dr. R. W. Brown 

 continued the study of the Fort Union flora and wrote papers de- 

 scribing the flora of the Miocene of the Blue Moimtains, Oreg., and 

 of the Salmon, Idaho, region. Jointly with Dr. C. B. Read, he

Abbe Georges Le Maitre, the Belgian scientist, studied the mete- 

 orite coflection; Dr. M. K. Elias, of the Kansas State Geological 

 Survey, spent some weeks studying Carboniferous and Tertiary 

 plants. A. L. Morrow, of Yale University, R. W. Imlay, of the
