 Museum on February 3r(l. 



On February loth, Dr. Spinden sailed for \'ucatan where he will 

 conduct a three months' exploration for Harvard Iniversity. 



On February 11th and I2th, Dr. Gregory gave the Darwin Lecture 

 at New York University, speaking on "The Evolution of the Human 

 Face." On February r2th he gave the same lecture before the Royal 

 Canadian Institute, in Toronto. Popular intere.st in this subject seems 

 very strong just now. 



On Feljruary 21st, Mr. Sherwood spoke in Boston to 200 members of 

 the New England Woman's Club of Boston, on the American Museum's 

 service in the way of public education. He outlined briefly the nature 

 of organization and the resources of the Mu.seum, and its relation to 

 the City. He spoke of the staff's feeling of obligation to the public, 

 and of the aims and methods of fulfilment of this obligation. He pro- 

 ceeded with a detailed account of the work of the Department of Public 

 Education, and mentioned Museum cooperation with commercial mo- 

 tion picture concerns in the production of educational films. His talk 

 was illustrated with lantern slides. The address was given eager 

 attention, and without doubt will bear fruit both in the way of publicity 

 for the work of the Museum and of demonstrating ways in which similar 

 institutions in other localities can help in educational work. 



On February loth, the Department of Entomology celebrated the 

 twelfth anniversary at the Museum of Dr. Lutz and Mr. Wunder.

 Staten Island Museum, Dr. Bequaert, Mr. Mutchler, Mr. Watson, and 

 Mr. Schwarz. Coffee, cake, candy and cigarettes were served by Mrs. 

 Timonier and Miss Callahan. The coffee, which was made by Mr. 

 Wunder, called forth the enthusiastic prai.se of Dr. Lucas and others. 

 The most popular cake was that baked by Dr. Lutz's eldest daughter. 

 Dr. Lucas and Mr. Leng told some of their interesting stories, and 

 everyone had a good time. Mr. Mutchler says he has lost count of the 

 number of people who later registered protests because they had not 

 ])een invited.
