44 Report of the President 



The officers of the Bureau of Science at Manila were most 

 helpful in giving information, and through the Acting Direc- 

 tor, Dr. McGregor, a fine series of photographs was secured 

 for the Museum. Dr. F. G. Haughwout expended consider- 

 able time and energy on Dr. Crampton's behalf. 



Governor Harrison placed a Coast Guard steamer at Dr. 

 Crampton's disposal in order that he might cross Manila Bay 

 to the Mariveles Mountains to see the pygmy natives of that 

 region, but, after landing and starting for the Negrito terri- 

 tory, an accident prevented this. 



The Executive Secretary of the Canton Christian College, 

 Dr. James M. Henry, as well as other members of the Col- 

 lege, did much to make the time profitable. The zoologist, 

 Professor Howard, is developing a system of collecting which 

 will be exceptionally successful. 



At Chieng-mai, the principal city of northern Siam, Dr. 

 Crampton was the guest of His Serene Highness, Prince 

 Bovaradej, Viceroy of Northern Siam. Numerous favors 

 were extended and Dr. Crampton was privileged to learn a 

 great deal of the Lao people of this region and of their highly 

 developed culture. 



The American Presbyterian Mission has Rest Houses at 

 different places on Doi Sutep mountain, and these were placed 

 at Dr. Crampton's disposal. The success of the expedition 

 was due mainly to the aid thus rendered, and we wish to make 

 full acknowledgment to Messrs. McKean, Campbell, Cort, 

 Gillies and Reichel, and to Dr. Barnes of the Rockefeller Com- 

 mission at work at Chieng-mai. Several of the mission staff 

 are interested in making further collections for transmission 

 to the Museum. 



The entomological work in the Rocky Mountains was great- 

 ly facilitated by the courteous and intelligent cooperation of 

 the Rangers and other officials of the Forestry Service of the 

 United States Department of Agriculture. 



Mr. Herbert F. Schwarz, Mr. Howard Notman, and other 

 members of the New York Entomological Society have kindly 

 assisted in the identification and arrangement of the Study 

 Collection of Insects.
