Ewers in collaboration with John E. Anglim, and the construction of exhibits was under the supervision of Rolland O. Hower. Figures for a new miniature diorama of a Black- foot Indian buffalo drive were made and sculptured figures of life-size ethnic groups were restored in the anthropological laboratory by A. Joseph Andrews. Two Egyptian bull mummies were exhibited near the Ptolemaic mummy in the hall of Old World archeology, where they have proved of unusual interest to school children. Temporary revision of a few exhibits was made in the North American archeology halls, and tenta- tive plans for modernization of these two halls were completed. Zoology The final four habitat groups in the hall of North American mam- mals were presented to the public April 30 in a brief ceremony at which the zoological work of the Smithsonian Institution was reviewed. The hall now displays twelve native mammals important to the Amer- ican pioneer. To the lifelike groups already on display—caribou, Rocky Mountain wapiti, or American elk, Cervus canadensis nelsoni Bailey in the Gallatin Range, Yellowstone National Park, during late au+unnn breed- ing season. First snow of winter blankets spruce forest that typically sur- rounds mountain meadows where these elks spend most of year. Specimens mounted by James L. Clark. Background painted by Robert E. Hogue. NEG. 44698-C.
