MEMBERS OF THE BOARD:
The reports of the Treasurer, the Auditing Committee, and of the
Director, Mr. Figgins, are herewith submitted. Under the Director's
report you will find a detailed account of the activities of the different
departments of the Museum during the past year.
We balanced our budget in 1933 with little curtailment in our activities, but with a further reduction from the City for 1934, we shall
be obliged to reduce our working force, which is greatly to be regretted
and will materially curtail our work.
We are again greatly indebted to one of our Trustees, Senator
Lawrence C. Phipps, through whose generosity we were enabled to continue our field work and with more than gratifying results.
I mention also our indebtedness to ·M r. Brandon Barringer through
whose loan we have acquired 2133 Yz pounds of the Canon Diablo
meteorite, giving us the largest known single piece, weighing 1406Y4
pounds.
The Extension Work has made satisfactory progress. The series
of lectures last winter were well attended and appreciated, and are
being continued this season with showing of new films obtained during 1933.
Several very important PROCEEDINGS were issued, which have
been widely circulated and very favorably commented upon.
Again I want to express my appreciation to our Board of Trustees ;
to the numerous committees; to the Director, Mr. Figgins; to the heads
of all departments; and to each individual employee, for their loyal
support in working for the upbuilding of the Museum.
Respectfully submitted,
C. H. HANINGTON, President.

December 31, 1933.
MR. C . H. HANINGTON, President
THE COLORADO MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
DEAR SIR:
Herewith is submitted a detailed report of the Museum:.s activities
and progress during the period closing with this date.
Through the accompanying figures you will note a substantial increase in attendance, as compared with that of the immediately preceding period. Equally gratifying is the evidence that the major part of this
increase falls within the months when there is a minimum of nonresident visitors. In other words, the increase further illustrates the consistent growth in interest by the citi"ens of Denver.
Attendance 1932 .............................................. 193,735
Attendance 1933 ................... _.......................... 207,505
The reception that was accorded last season's course of evening lectures at the Museum prompted the arrangement of a similar series for
the period beginning November 28 and ending April 10. The promptness with which Colorado scientists have responded to requests for their
services as lecturers is, in itself, convincing evidence of the importance
of these lecture series.
There is also a constantly growing demand for the Museum's Extension Service, audiences totaling 39,768 having been reached during
the period. In spite of the greatly reduced number of visiting school
classes, these figures clearly point to the importance of broadening this
field of usefulness.
Early in the period the reinstallation of the habitat groups of large
Colorado mammals was completed. The moose group was transferred
to the Standley Wing and the installation there of the mountain goat
group is now in progress. This will complete the series of groups of
large Colorado and North American mammals.
With the removal of all art objects, the former gallery became
available for natural history exhibits and the groups of small Colorado
mammals are in course of installation there. As these exhibits will be
confined to the walls, the central portion of the hall will admirably serve
for assemblages that do not exceed 150. With this in view and since
artificial lighting will be employed in the small mammal groups, the
skylight has been darkened. The plans for this hall include a movable
screen for illustrations and storage space for the special chairs that
have been provided. But a few minutes will suffice in preparing for
lectures and for clearing the halL The installation of the small mammal
groups is now well advanced.
.
An unprecedented quantity of accessories was required for the installation of mammal groups during 1932 and the present period and
for that reason it was necessary to curtail other activities in that division. More nearly normal conditions may be expected in the near
future.
The Museum has again been the recipient of the generosity of
Senator Lawrence C. Phipps, who personally financed the major portion

of the field activities in the interest of the Division of Pala::ontology.
Not only was this field work highly successful, but it was only through
Senator Phipps' donation that it could be undertaken. The finding of
flint implements in association with mammoth remains near Dent, Colorado, may be regarded as among the most important discoveries that have
a bearing upon the age of man in America. Details of this will appear
under the Division of Archaeology and of Publications.
The Museum has again enjoyed the courtesies and generosity of
many individuals and institutions in the matter of loans and contributions of bison skulls and here it expresses its appreciation. It has suffered a loss through the death of Mr. Fred]. Howarth, which occurred
on September 26. During several years past, or since 192 5, Mr. Howarth demonstrated in a most practical way his interest in this Museum.
In the latter year, he reported to the writer the presence of fossil bones
near Folsom, New Mexico, and during the following season he acted
as the Museum's agent while excavations were carried on there. From
the quarry thus developed was taken the skeleton representing the
type of Stelabison occidentalis taylori, now on exhibition, together with
the numerous flint implements that conclusively proved that extinct bison
and man were contemporaneous. You will doubtless recall the degree
of interest which followed my published account of these discoveries,
but here I emphasize the fullest credit is due Mr. Howarth because of
his foresight in bringing his find to this Museum's attention. His interest was demonstrated in many other directions and his was an active
place in the roll of Patrons.
In expressing my personal appreciation of your unvarying personal
attitude and your helpful service in the Museum's affairs, I reflect the
sentiments of the entire Staff.
Under the following headings will appear detailed accounts of the
work of the several divisions.
DIVISION OF MAMMALS
During January and February the activities of this division were
restricted to the completion of the reinstallation of the large mammals
of Colorado. The moose group donated by the late Harry C. James
was then transferred to the south wall of the hall of North American
mammals. Through a rearrangement of other exhibits, space was made
available for the group of mountain goats and the installation of this
exhibit is now in progress.
Of the 44 small mammal groups intended for the room formerly
employed as an art gallery, 27 are now in place. The completion of
this hall will be given first attention during the coming period.
So great. has been the pressure of other work that it has been
necessary to defer a part of the normal activities in the preparation of
exhibits designated for the James Memorial Hall. A group of Brazilian
jaguars is nearing completion, however, and mounting specimens for an
exhibit of South American pumas is in progress.
Through W. B. Lowry, Manager of Parks and Improvements, the
Museum acquired five exceptionally fine specimens of Bison, selected
THE COLORADO MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

with a view of making them available for exchange. A like courtesy
was extended by Mr. Roger Toll, Superintendent of Yellowstone National Park from whom was acquired a specimen of young gri:l4ly bear.
This specimen has been mounted and will be installed with the adults
in the near future.
This division has been called upon for a hitherto unequaled number
of casts of meteorites, photographic negatives, prints and slides. These
items will be referred to under those headings.
DIVISION OF BIRDS AND ACCESSORIES
The unusual quantity of accessories that was required in the
reinstallation of the groups of Colorado mammals made impractical
a normal degree of progress in the installation of bird groups. Indeed,
the energies of this division were largely confined to the preparation of
accessories. However, a considerable series of birds was mounted for
use in connection with the newly established museum in Rocky Mountain National Park and the large group to illustrate the gallinaceous
birds of southeastern Braz.il, South America, has been completed.
To this division are also assigned the numerous activities connected
with the Museum's Extension Service, all of which will be found under
that heading. It has also been called upon at frequent intervals for assistance in other divisions, notably in the matter of collecting the accessories employed in the groups of large mammals. No previous records
equal the quantity of accessories that was provided during 1932 and
1933.
DIVISION OF PAL.JEONTOLOGY
Through the generous contribution of funds by Senator Lawrence
C. Phipps, it was possible to carry out the planned activities in the interest of this division. Through Mr. A. M. Brooking, Director of the
Hastings Museum, Hastings, Nebraska, some excellent bison material
was acquired, in addition to other specimens of fossils.
The generosity of Mr. A. F. Lancaster, Milo, Kansas, resulted in
the Museum's acquiring a large and unusually well-preserved skull of
mammoth. This has been prepared and placed on exhibition.
Further work in northern Colorado resulted in securing two nearly
complete skeletons of Oligocene carnivores and these will be prepared
and mounted at the earliest possible date. Such skeletons are rare and
are highly important additions to the collection.
Through the liberality of Father Conrad Bilgery, S. J., Regis College, Denver, the Museum took over the work of excavating the remainder of the mammoth remains from the quarry near Dent, Weld
County, Colorado. In addition, Father Bilgery delivered to this Museum
all skeletal parts he had taken from this location during the preceding
period. The quantity of mammoth remains obtained from this quarry
far exceeds that of any other single discovery in Colorado and in addition to an unequaled number of skulls and jaws, there is an excellent
prospect of having two mountable skeletons. Their preparation is now
in progress.

Through an exchange with the U. S. National Museum, the Museum acquired an excellent fossil skeleton of horse (Plesippu,s shoshonensis) and this has been mounted and placed on exhibition. From the
Nebraska State Museum came a skeleton of bison (Bison oliverhayi) ,
also obtained through an exchange, and this will have attention when
time permits.
Thdive small camel skeletons (Stenomylu,s) , obtained in 1932 from
near Agate, Nebraska, have been mounted and employed in an exceptionally interesting group.
At the present time activities are centered in the preparation of
the mammoth remains from near Dent, Colorado.
DIVISION OF MINERALOGY
As you are aware, to this division are also assigned the library, the
care of the J T. Mason collection of butterflies and moths, the W . C.
Bradbury collection of North American birds' eggs and invertebrate
fossils.
Through a lack of funds for the purchase of mineral specimens, all
acquisitions during the period have been in the form of donations and
exchanges. There has been continued progress in replacing labels and
in compliance with the usual custom all of the mineral specimens and
cases have been cleaned.
Additions to the library have been largely of a routine nature and
mostly restricted to the several monthly and quarterly journals, except
the unusual number of publications that were received through exchanges
and donations.
Through exchanges seven new sets of birds' eggs were acquired for
the Bradbury collection, in addition to twelve rare sets that serve to
increase the duplicate collection. The entire exhibition series was
cleaned and rearranged in accordance with the annual custom.
METEORITES
Like the immediately preceding subjects, meteorites are a part of
the Division of Mineralogy and the period is noteworthy because of the
importance of the acquisitions to this collection. Through the generosity
of Mr. Brandon Barringer of Philadelphia, Pa., the Museum obtained
as a loan three large specimens of the Canon Diablo, Ariz.ona, meteorites,
representing a total weight of 213 3Yz lbs. Separately these specimens
weigh 182 lbs., 545'14 lbs., and 140614 lbs., the latter the largest example of the Canon Diablo fall that has been recovered.
Through joint activities with Mr. H . H . Nininger, exchanges and
purchases of specimens, nine falls of meteorites that are new to the
Museum's collection have been added.
In cooperation with the Museum, Mr. H. H. Nininger in June began excavating a meteorite crater near Haviland, Kansas. From this
crater was taken a large number of meteorites varying in weight from
a few grains to eighty pounds. This appears to be the :first instance in
which meteorites have been recovered through excavating, though are-

port is current to the effect that a great meteoric mass has been located beneath the rim of the Canon Diablo Crater in Arizona. It is
planned to carry out other explorations of this nature when funds are
available.
PREHISTORIC FLINT ARTIFACTS
The interest aroused through the Museum's discoveries of flint artifacts in association with the remains of extinct mammals prompted efforts towards acquiring a larger representation of the cultural types
described as "Folsom" and "Yuma." The generosity of numerous individuals and the cooperation of Professor E. B. Renaud of the University of Denver have resulted in bringing to the Museum a collection
that is unequaled. Of marked importance are the collections lent by
Mr. D. Houtz of Limon, Colorado, and Mr. Royal E. Hooyer of Denver.
The remarkable artifact found in association with mammoth remains by
Father Conrad Bilgery, near Dent, Colorado, is also on exhibition.
PUBLICATIONS
While there remains for publication a number of important manuscripts, four numbers of PROCEEDINGS were printed and distributed
during the period. They are as follows:
Volume XII, No. 1-·"Two New Colorado Mammals," by Frederic
W. Miller. This paper describes two mammals that were previously unknown to science.
Volume XII, No. 2-"A Further Contribution to the Antiquity
of Man in America," by J D. Figgins. In the preparation of this paper
the author was privileged to include the description of the artifact that
was discovered by Father Conrad Bilgery, near Dent, Weld County,
Colorado.
Volume XII, No. 3-- "The Excavation of a Meteorite Crater near
Haviland, Kiowa County, Kansas," by H. H. Nininger and J D. Figgins.
The joint work of which the above paper is descriptive marks an interesting departure in searches for meteorites.
Volume XII, No. 4-"The Bison of the Western Area of the Mississippi Basin," by J D . Figgins. These studies include both extinct and
modern species of the region treated.
EXTENSION SERVICE
Preparatory to this and the coming periods of actlvltles in this
division, considerable time was devoted to securing moving pictures of
local natural history subjects. Numerous specimens have been prepared
for the use of the public school classes and there is a constantly growing
demand for this service, independent of the schools, for which it was
originally designed.
Through the cooperation of Professor and Mrs. T. D. A . Cockerell,
progress was made towards enlarging the Museum's activities in this
field and it is a source of regret that conditions have not permitted a

still wider movement towards the development of this service. During
the period a total of 39,768 were reached through the Extension Service.
CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR
In addition to the routine construction of exhibition cases, considerable' work of this character was involved in the reinstallation of the
groups of small Colorado mammals.
The entire roof of the Museum building was painted and a special
treatment was applied to the floor of the main hall.
Through Mr. Wendell T Hedgcock, Chief Building Inspector, City
and County of Denver, the entire external brickwork and ornamental
tile is being pointed up and put in good condition: The re-setting of the
tile work of the main entrance landing is also in progress. This latter
item of repair has necessitated structural improvements.
There are also in progress important items of internal repair. All
of the uncovered electrical wiring is being removed and modern conduits employed. A small part of the obsolete plumbing is being replaced and much needed internal painting will be done. It is hoped that
a sufficient fund will be available to carry out other items of long-needed
repair.
