ANNALS 



CARNEGIE MUSEUM 



VOLUME Xin, NOS. 1-2. 



Editorial Notes. 



In the present issue of the Annals there appear a few of the papers, 

 which have been in the hands of the Editor for a considerable time, 

 their publication having been unfortunately delayed for reasons 

 already explained in the last volume and in the Report of the Director 

 for the fiscal year extending from 1918-1919. We are happy in 

 believing that the circumstances which brought about the delay in 

 publishing these and other papers are not likely to arise again. 



The death of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, which occurred on August i ith, 

 1919, at his summer home, Shadowbrook, Lenox, Massachusetts, 

 removed the gracious presence of the Founder of the Museum, and 

 inflicted an irreparable loss, for which his munificent provision through 

 the Carnegie Corporation of New York to maintain the work he had 

 begun, cannot atone. We shall miss his words of cheer and encourage- 

 ment and the evidences of his appreciation unfailingly bestowed 

 upon this department of the Institute, one of the very earliest of his 

 great public foundations. Elsewhere in this volume the Editor, who 

 for more than forty-five years enjoyed the close friendship of Mr. 

 Carnegie, endeavors briefly to record some of his memories, especially 

 those relating to the founding of the Museum and its subsequent work.
