  with 
  the 
  specimens. 
  The 
  collections 
  of 
  graphic 
  arts 
  on 
  display 
  in 
  

   the 
  Smithsonian 
  Building 
  were 
  rearranged 
  so 
  that 
  exhibits 
  of 
  a 
  

   kind, 
  both 
  historical 
  and 
  technical, 
  are 
  located 
  near 
  together 
  for 
  easy 
  

   examination. 
  

  

  The 
  classification 
  of 
  the 
  collections 
  by 
  members 
  of 
  the 
  staff 
  has 
  

   produced 
  the 
  usual 
  amount 
  of 
  research 
  work 
  on 
  the 
  material 
  in- 
  

   trusted 
  to 
  their 
  care; 
  and 
  the 
  usual 
  generous 
  cooperation 
  of 
  out- 
  

   siders 
  has 
  been 
  of 
  the 
  utmost 
  assistance 
  in 
  enhancing 
  the 
  scientific 
  

   value 
  of 
  the 
  collections. 
  The 
  total 
  number 
  of

  EXPLORATIONS 
  ANT) 
  FIELD 
  WORK. 
  

  

  From 
  the 
  standpoint 
  of 
  exploration 
  and 
  expeditions, 
  the 
  year 
  just 
  

   completed 
  shows 
  very 
  little 
  improvement 
  over 
  1920-21. 
  The 
  work 
  

   carried 
  on 
  by 
  various 
  other 
  governmental 
  agencies, 
  particularly 
  by 
  

   the 
  United 
  States 
  Geological 
  Survey, 
  the 
  Bureau 
  of 
  Fisheries, 
  the 
  

   Biological 
  Survey 
  of 
  the 
  Department 
  of 
  Agriculture, 
  and 
  the 
  Bureau 
  

   of 
  American 
  Ethnology 
  has, 
  as 
  usual, 
  resulted 
  in 
  important 
  material 
  

   for 
  the 
  national 
  collections. 
  

  

  The 
  number 
  of 
  expeditions 
  contributing 
  material 
  to 
  the 
  depart- 
  

   ment 
  of 
  biology, 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  reports 
  of 
  curators, 
  was 
  18, 
  of 
  

   which 
  no 
  less 
  than 
  10 
  were 
  both 
  financed 
  and 
  directed 
  by 
  outside 
  

   friends 
  and 
  correspondents, 
  7 
  were 
  financed 
  by 
  others 
  and 
  partly 
  

   or 
  wholly 
  directed 
  by 
  members 
  of 
  the 
  staff 
  of 
  the 
  Museum, 
  while 
  

   only 
  1 
  was 
  entirely 
  controlled 
  by 
  the 
  Museum. 
  In 
  the 
  department 
  

   of 
  geology, 
  extensive 
  field 
  work 
  was 
  confined 
  entirely 
  to 
  the 
  division 
  

   of 
  paleontology. 
  

  

  Besides 
  the 
  field 
  work 
  described 
  here, 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  other 
  expedi- 
  

   tions 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  Museum 
  was 
  interested 
  are 
  mentioned 
  in 
  the 
  first 
  

   part 
  of 
  this 
  report 
  under 
  the 
  heading 
  " 
  Explorations 
  and 
  researches." 
  

  

  The 
  work 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Arthur 
  de 
  C. 
  Sowerby 
  in 
  China, 
  interrupted 
  by 
  

   the 
  World 
  War, 
  was 
  resumed, 
  a 
  shipment 
  of 
  specimens 
  from 
  the 
  

   Province 
  of 
  Fukien 
  being 
  received. 
  The 
  expenses 
  of 
  this 
  work 
  are 
  

   met 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Robert 
  Sterling 
  Clark, 
  who 
  generously 
  contributes 
  all 
  

   the 
  material 
  to 
  the 
  Museum. 
  Special 
  effort 
  is 
  being 
  directed 
  to 
  

   securing 
  vertebrates 
  from 
  southern 
  and 
  other 
  parts 
  of 
  China 
  not 
  

   hitherto 
  represented 
  in 
  the 
  national 
  collections. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  William 
  M. 
  Mann, 
  while 
  attached 
  to 
  the 
  Mulford 
  Biological 
  

   Exploration 
  of 
  the 
  Amazon 
  Basin, 
  collected 
  a 
  large 
  number 
  of 
  insects 
  

   and 
  some 
  miscellaneous 
  material 
  of 
  other 
  kinds. 
  This 
  expedition 
  

   was 
  organized 
  bj^ 
  the 
  H. 
  K. 
  Mulford 
  Co., 
  of 
  Philadelphia, 
  under 
  the 
  

   direction 
  of 
  Dr. 
  H. 
  H. 
  Rusby, 
  chiefly 
  for 
  the 
  purpose 
  of 
  studying 
  

   drug 
  plants, 
  but 
  also 
  for 
  making 
  general 
  biological 
  collections. 
  By 
  

   invitation, 
  Doctor 
  Mann 
  was 
  attached 
  as 
  entomologist 
  and 
  assistant
