President and Mrs. Henry Fairfield Osborn recently returned from 

 an extended trip to Hawaii and adjacent islands. President Osborn 

 reports a very delightful trip, and returns much impressed with the 

 beaut}' of the islands. 



Dr. Louis R. Sullivan has gone to Hawaii, where he will remain for 

 a 3'ear doing anthropometric work in connection with the survey of 

 Polynesia which is being conducted under the direction of Dr. Herbert 

 E. Gregory of the Bishop Museum. 



A number of our employees have recently suffered bereavements. 

 Mr. Granger has lost his mother, Mr. Sniffm his sister, Mr. Nichols his 

 father, Mr. Thomson his mother and Mr. Donovan his daughter. To 

 all of them we extend our deep sympathy. 



Colonel John C. F. Tillson, of Governors Island, has deposited in 

 the Museum a valuable collection of cinnabar, jade and porcelain vessels 

 from China, some of which are very fine pieces. It is to be hoped that the 

 greater part of this material will become the permanent property of the 

 Museum. 



The Giant Panda lately acquired by the Museum has been placed 

 on exhibition in the Synoptic Hall, third floor, east. 



Many visitors to the Hall of Fossil Mammals inquire how many 

 years ago the various prehistoric animals represented there lived. As 

 an aid to those interested, it has been suggested that the extent of the 

 geological epochs be indicated on the chart at the entrance to the hall. 



Mr. Leonard Marthens has moved to the quarters latelj^ occupied 

 b}' the printing force, which has in turn been far more adequately in- 

 stalled in the East Basement. It is to be hoped that the office which 

 Mr. Marthens vacated will be turned over to the use of the Adminis- 

 trative Staff, especially of the bookkeepers' force which continues to 

 grow — although some of it is pretty well grown already. 



Dr. Lucas and family are to become residents of Flusliing, Long 

 Island, in the fall. We trust that transportation difficulties will not 

 interfere with the Director's daily attendance at the Museum. 



Dr. Chester A. Reeds recently moved into his new home at Lowerre, 

 Xew York. 



Dr. G. Clyde Fisher and Dr. F. E. Lutz assisted in the educational 

 work at the annual conference of the American Camp Directors' Asso- 

 ciation held last month at Greenkill Camp, near Kingston. The con- 

 ference was held under the auspices of the Woodcraft League of America.
