12. Rathbun, R. 1905. Report upon the condition and progress 

 of the U. S. National Museum during the year ending June 

 30, 1903. For years Rathbun wrote the annual reports 

 of the Museum, and 1 have read every one he wrote 

 in this century, as well as those by his successors. Most 

 of the information cited stems from these reports. Not 

 every fact has to be documented, but 1 am old- 

 fashioned enough to believe that the sources of quotes 

 should be cited. I also recognize that giving the full 

 title and the number of pages in each report would be 

 more than is needed. In fact, these should be cited as 

 "Appendix to" the Smithsonian annual report, but 

 that would indeed be sterile scholarship. Other annual 

 reports by Rathbun and his successors are cited in a 

 more abbreviated fashion. Further, some of the 

 material is taken from departmental reports written by 

 Hough, Merrill, True, and the various head curators 

 wh(j succeeded them, but it is expedient (even though 

 not correct) to cite Rathbim or his successors.

7. The "Random Records" of William Henry Holmes 

 consist of fourteen volumes of documents, notes, 

 watercolors, pictures, and other miscellanea that 

 provide a wealth of detail on his life. Many facets of 

 Smithsonian history not otherwise recorded can be 

 found here. Why Holmes has not been the subject of 

 a major biographical study is a mystery to me. I have 

 not given references to the individual volumes, for all 

 are carefully indexed, and the various items can be 

 found easily.
