required for this work is considerable. The constant demand 

 for docents by teachers and classes and by Members of the 

 Museum is an indication of the value of this kind of service. 

 Several members of the department act as guides, and the ser- 

 vice is free. 



The students in anthropology at Barnard continued their 



laboratory work in the Museum from January until the end of 



the college year in June. They studied the 



Cooperation with Siberian, South Sea Island, Eastern Wood- 

 Barnard College . . 



lands, Plains, Pueblo, North Pacific Coast, 



Peruvian and Mexican collections. The nineteen talks given 



by the Museum docent were arranged to supplement lectures 



on material culture, religion, and art. 



One sign of growth of the Museum as a whole is seen in the 



ever increasing demands for photographic work. Illustrations 



for scientific publications, for The American Mu- 



Photographic S eum Journal, the Public Information Committee, 



Work ' . ' 



newspapers, magazines and special writers, and 



lantern slides for the educational work of the Museum have 



fully occupied the time of our two photographers. 



The photographic department has made 1,547 negatives, 



3,526 lantern slides and 13,623 prints. 



The Museum's collection of negatives has been increased dur- 

 ing the year by 3,500 negatives from the Crocker Land Expe- 

 dition. The Asiatic Zoological Expedition 

 Reference File added 450 negatives, of which 128 were Paget 



and N Pnoto7r S aphs color P lates - Both the ordinary black and 

 white negatives and the color plates of the 

 Asiatic Expedition were made by Mrs. Yvette Borup Andrews, 

 photographer of the expedition. The work of filing the nega- 

 tives from these two expeditions, and the making, mounting 

 and filing of the photographic prints from these negatives was 

 in progress at the close of the year. The reference file now 

 numbers 46,565 negatives and 63,818 photographs.
