 illustrated by color. By far the most lavish book on the 

 present Museum exhibits, profusely illustrated, is by

 History (New York; Harry N. Abrams), 496 pp.

17. It has been traditional that the Secretary of the 

 Smithsonian be a productive scientist, and S. Dillon 

 Ripley has maintained that tradition. His activities and 

 accomplishments as Secretary have been much 

 commented upon, but somehow little note has been 

 taken of his work in ornithology. Probably the most 

 balanced newpaper account of his activities as 

 Secretary is given by Lardner, J., S. Dillon Ripley, 

 Keeper of the Castle, Washington Post, November 7, 

 1982. An important record of some of the events 

 during the first few years of the Ripley era is the book 

 by Paul H. Oehser, 1970, The Smithsonian Institution 

 (New York: Praeger Publishers). In 1983 a revised 

 edition of 224 pages was written with the assistance of 

 Louise Heskett, and published by the Westview Press, 

 Boulder, Colorado.

7. Angel, J. L. 1976. T. Dale Stewart. American Journal of 

 Physical Anthropology 45:521-30. In only two pages, 

 followed by Stewart's bibliography. Angel summarizes 

 nicely the work of this physical anthropologist for a 

 Festchrift issue of the join nal, an honor in any field. 

 Additional informatic^n comes from Who's Who, where 

 he is listed as starting with the museum in 1927.

 letter to Credit Union members. It expanded a bit 

 and became an Institution-wide newsletter. It ceased 

 publication at least twice because of a shortage of 

 funds, but has been printed monthly for about a 

 decade. Current circulation of about 6,000 includes 

 news media, though probably no libraries carry this 

 newsletter. It is useful as a source of dates and 

 information not given in Smithsonian Year. 



14. Park, E. 1977. Around the Mall and beyond. 

 Smithsonian 8 (2);34; Thomson, Peggy. 1977. Museum 

 People. Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall. A 



nice account, though mainly about parts of the 

 Smithsonian outside the Museum of Natural History. 

 The sections on RoUand Hower and Tom Simkin give 

 a fair sample of the people involved in natural history.
