26 Report of the President 



EXPANSION OF EXPLORATION AND RESEARCH 



The reception of the larger part of the income from the 

 Jesup Endowment Fund of $6,000,000, namely, of $202,050 

 during the past year, has been followed, as Mr. Jesup intended 

 it should be, by a very marked expansion of our exploration in 

 the Arctic region^ in North America, in South America and in 

 Asia. For the time, exploration in Africa has given way to the 

 arrangement of our great collections. The following analysis 

 of the total expenditures in the various branches of natural 

 science will show the world-wide extent of the Museum's ac- 

 tivities :
