84 Report of the President 



which all the known American types are redescribed and fully 

 illustrated, many new species described from the large collec- 

 tions in this Museum, and the whole critically 

 revised as to their geological and zoological 

 relationships. He has also continued his researches upon the 

 evolution of the Proboscidea, the skeleton of the great Am- 

 phibious Dinosaur Camarasaurus, and upon a series of Moro- 

 pus skeletons. The monographs of the Sauropoda and Titano- 

 theriidae have been further advanced toward completion. 



Dr. Matthew has published further studies upon the Snake 

 Creek fossil mammal fauna, and the revision of the Lower 

 Eocene Insectivora, Rodents and Edentates, and has continued 

 studies upon the extinct Camelidse, the fossil mammals of 

 Cuba, and, in conjunction with Mr. Granger, upon the Eocene 

 and Paleocene faunas. 



Dr. Gregory has continued researches upon the evolution of 

 the Primates, upon the lachrymal bone and upon the compara- 

 tive myology of the limbs of vertebrates. He has in press a 

 memoir dealing with the American Eocene lemuroid primates. 



Mr. Brown has continued his studies upon Cretaceous dino- 

 saurs and prepared field notes upon the geology of certain por- 

 tions of Cuba, which will be supplemented by palseontological 

 studies of the invertebrate material collected, undertaken by 

 Miss O'Connell in the Geological Department. The vertebrate 

 collections will be described in a memoir by Dr. La Torre and 

 Dr. Matthew. 



EXISTING AND EXTINCT RACES OF MEN * 

 Clark Wissler, Curator 



The most notable progress in the development of collections 



was made in the somatic division. Many complete skeletons 



representing Asiatic and African peoples were 



General secured, together with a large series of crania. 



Progress _ , r , • * 



Our laboratory series, from which type units are 



drawn for the construction of new exhibits, was also greatly 



strengthened. Opportunity was afforded for the photographing 



* Under the Department of Anthropology (see also pages 194 to 197).
