ADMINISTRATION AND CHANGES IN STAFF 



The internal administration of the Museum remained under 

 the guidance of Director Hermon C. Bumpus until the middle 

 of June, when he entered upon a six months' leave of absence. 



Through the courtesy of the New York Zoological Society, 

 Dr. Charles H. Townsend, Director of the New York Aquarium, 

 entered the service of the Museum temporarily as Acting 

 Director, an office which he has filled with marked ability and 

 success. ' 



Professor R. P. Whitfield, who served as Curator of the 

 Department of Geology and Invertebrate Palaeontology for 

 more than thirty-two years, and who was made Curator Emeritus 

 in 1909, died during the month of April, 1910. He will always 

 be remembered as one who rendered the Museum distinguished 

 and faithful scientific service.
