NO. 6 SMITHSONIAN EXPLORATIONS, I914 55 



for the child study were the Zulu of Natal and Zululand, and over 

 one thousand children and adolescents of all ages — ages which could 

 be definitely determined — were examined. These data are expected 

 to contribute some very important results to anthropology. The 

 Bushmen were reached in the Kalahari Desert and, besides other 

 results, 20 first-class facial casts were obtained of the people, which 

 have since then been installed among the anthropological exhibits 

 at San Diego. As to British East Africa, the work soon after a 

 successful beginning was interrupted by the war ; Dr. Schiick was 

 arrested and obliged to leave. 



The second expedition of 1914 was in charge of Dr. St. Poniatow- 

 ski, head of the Ethnological Laboratory at Warsaw. The object of 

 this expedition was to visit a number of the remnants of native tribes 

 in Eastern Siberia, among which are found physical types which so 

 closely resemble the American Indian. The expedition reached two 

 such tribes, and secured valuable data, photographs, etc., when it 

 was also interrupted by the war. 



PREPARATION OF EXHIBITS ILLUSTRATING THE NATURAL 

 HISTORY OF MAN 



Some of the results of exploration and field work by the Institution 

 among various races of mankind are shown in connection with the 

 anthropological exhibits of the Panama-California Exposition at San 

 Diego. These exhibits were in preparation for over three years. 

 They are original and much more comprehensive than any previous 

 exhibits in this line, either here or abroad. 



The exhibits fill five large connecting rooms, which occupy the 

 building of the Science of Man at the Exposition. Four of these 

 rooms are devoted to the natural history of man, while the fifth is 

 fitted up as a modern anthropological laboratory, library, and lecture- 

 room. Of the four rooms of exhibits proper, the first is devoted to 

 man's phylogeny, or evolution; the second, to his ontogeny, or life 

 cycle at the present time; the third, to his variation (sexual, indi- 

 vidual, racial) ; and the fourth to his pathology and death. 



The exhibits in room 1, on human evolution, consist of: (a) a 

 large series of accurate, first-class casts of all the more important 

 skeletal remains of authentic antiquity; (b) photographic enlarge- 

 ments and water color sketches showing the localities where the speci- 

 mens were discovered; (c) charts showing the relation of the 

 archeological position of the various finds, and their relation to the 

 extinct fauna and to archeological epochs; (d) a series of sketches 

 by various scientific men showing their conception of the early man,
