Not illustrated. 1914 Excerpt: ...E. Pogue, assistant curator of mineralogy and petrology, resigned during the year, the former on March 4 to enter the service of the Geological Survey of Canada, the latter on May 17, 1913, to join the U. S. Geological Survey. Mr. R. P. Tolman was appointed aid in the division of graphic arts on May 21, 1913, after a temporary service beginning on August 23, 1912, to fill the position left vacant by the resignation of Mr. E. W. Huckel on July 31, 1912. Two naturalists, not connected with the Government service, were designated as honorary collaborators for one year each, namely, Mr. Samuel Mixter, of Boston, Mass., from April 1, and Prof. Albert M. Reese, of the University of West Virginia, from May 1, 1913. Both were to engage in field work, contributing their collections to the Museum, the former intending to visit Alaska and if possible the neighboring coast of Siberia, the latter the Philippine Islands. The Museum lost three members of its staff by death, Dr. Lester F. Ward, honorary associate in paleobotany, Dr. L. T. Chamberlain, honorary associate in mineralogy, and Mr. Joseph Palmer, modeler. Dr. Lester Frank Ward was born in Joliet, 111., June 18, 1841, and died in Washington, D. C, April 18, 1913. His collegiate education was received at Columbian, now George Washington, University.

I., of which he continued a member until the time of his decease.
