REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE MUSEUM 

 FOR THE YEAR 1922 



By BARTON WARREN EVERMANN 



Director of the Museum 



The annual report of the Director for the year 1921 was 

 presented to the Academy at the annual meeting February 

 15, 1922. The completion of the Grizzly Bear Group soon 

 thereafter utilized the last of the spaces in the Museum 

 suited to large habitat groups. No more groups of that size 

 and character will, therefore, be possible until another hall 

 is provided. There remain, however, a considerable num- 

 ber of spaces for small panel groups upon which the depart- 

 ment of exhibits has been largely engaged during much of 

 the year. This department has also prepared a number of 

 portable exhibits suitable for sending out to the public 

 schools. Considerable time has been devoted to the 

 Museum's study series of mammal skins and skulls. Prac- 

 tically all the skins have been tanned and put in proper 

 condition for permanent preservation and rapid progress 

 has been made with the skulls.
