32 Report of the President. 



Five numbers of The American Museum Journal were issued, 

 and in connection with four of the numbers Guide Leaflets 

 were issued as supplements, as follows: 



' ' The Evolution of the Horse " W. D. Matthew 



" The Hawk-moths of the Vicinity of New York City". . ..Wm. Beutenmuller 



" The Musical Instruments of the Incas" Charles W. Mead 



" The Collection of Fossil Vertebrates" W. D. Matthew 



Department of Maps and Charts. — Dr. Woodward has 

 spent the entire year in the preliminary work of classifying, 

 preparing and cataloguing the Museum's collection of maps 

 and charts, and by the end of another year it is hoped that 

 these will be in such shape that they will be available for 

 reference. 



Transportation. — The mere tabulation of the various 

 railways and transportation companies that, through the grant- 

 ing of passes and special rates, have assisted our field work — 

 indeed, one might almost say that have made this work pos- 

 sible — is not an adequate acknowledgment of our indebtedness. 

 We feel that these corporations are co-workers with us, and 

 that any credit the Museum may receive for its effort to pro- 

 mote science and educate the people should be shared with 

 those who have united with us towards this common end. The 

 list is as follows : 



Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway. 



Canadian Pacific Railway. 



Chicago & Northwestern Railway. 



Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. 



Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway. 



Canadian Northern Railway. 



Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway. 



Erie Railroad. 



Great Northern Railway. 



Missouri Pacific Railway. 



Illinois Central Railroad. 



Mexican International Railroad. 



Mexican Central Railway. 



Mexican National Railway. 



Northern Pacific Railway. 



Southern Pacific Company.
