STAFF OF THE MUSEUM 
same time the Scientific Staff, through the continued appointment of 
highly trained men, has enjoyed an increased prestige in this country and 
abroad, and an appointment has come to be regarded as an honor equal 
to a collegiate or university professorship. 
Several scientific experts who have gratuitously rendered conspic- 
uous service to the Museum in their various departments of research 
have been appointed Honorary Curators.
