A rorMAL word of greeting and apprecia- 
tion was extended by the trustees and mem- 
bers of the staff of the American Museum to 
Dr. Daniel Giraud Elliot on the occasion 
of the eightieth anniversary of his birth, 
March 7, 1835. 
Tue recent Indian disturbances in eastern 
Utah and adjoining territory are of interest 
to the Museum, since the department of 
anthropology is engaged in an extensive and 
intensive survey of all the Shoshonean Plateau 
tribes. In the newspaper accounts the 
Paiute are made to figure as the trouble- 
makers. From the geographical data at hand 
it appears that they are not identical with the 
tribe so designated by ethnologists, since both 
the Northern and Southern Paiute, using 
142 
accepted scientific terminology, live well to 
the west of the area in question, which does 
form the home of the Southern Ute. One 
band of this tribe is called Paiyutsi by the 
others, and this is apparently the one that has 
come into conflict with local authorities. 
THE recent acquisition of a bust of John 
Burroughs together with a marble pedestal 
designed to harmonize with the bust was 
made possible to the Museum through the 
generosity of Mr. Henry Ford. This inter- 
esting piece of sculpture was shown at the last 
exhibit of the National Academy of Design. 
The sculptor is Mr. C. 8. Pietro. 
Tur annual meeting of the board of trus- 
tees of the American Museum of Natural 
History was held at the residence of President 
Henry Fairfield Osborn, on Monday evening, 
February first. The trustees were the guests 
of President Osborn at dinner. 
At the annual meeting of the board of 
trustees the following trustees were reélected 
in the class of 1919: George F. Baker, Henry 
Fairfield Osborn, Joseph H. Choate, James 
Douglas and George W. Wickersham. The 
following officers were also reélected: presi- 
dent, Henry Fairfield Osborn; first vice- 
president, Cleveland H. Dodge; second vice- 
president, J. P. Morgan; treasurer, Charles 
Lanier; secretary, Adrian Iselin. 
Tue department of education has arranged 
to extend its courses of lectures for school 
children by having certain of the lectures 
which are given at the Museum repeated in 
three local centers,— namely, the Washington 
Irving High School, Public School 64 on the 
lower East side and a school to be selected 
in the Bronx. This plan will benefit many 
pupils who cannot afford the necessary car- 
fare to the Museum. 
Ar the annual meeting of the board of 
trustees the following elections of members 
were made in recognition of generous contri- 
butions and genuine interest in the growth 
of the Museum: J. P. Morgan, associate 
founder; Thomas DeWitt Cuyler, associate 
benefactor; George F. Baker, patron. 
FINANCED by a committee of friends of the 
Museum interested in the paintings of Mr. 
E. W. Deming, the work on the series of
