. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. Figure 39.—Forage Cap, 1839-1851, Type 1. terminals, and tied across the front with black silk ribbons when folded. The whole of the interior of the cap is lined with unbleached muslin or with glazed cotton, with cotton battintr between the lininsf and the crown and the rise. The headband is lined in front with pasteboard to give a firm seat for the insignia. The sweatband is of soft black patent leather. All but one specimen has a cane grommet in the welt between the crown and the rise. One specimen carries the re- niains of a round red wax seal on the sweatijand indicating that it was probably a pattern piece. Type two (figs. 42-46) is basically the same in ap- pearance as type one except that the visor, rather than pointed and nearly perpendicular, is more nearly hori- zontal and rounded. The blue cloth is of a somewhat hca\ier quality, the crown is not padded, the padding between the lining and the rise is of horsehair, and the headband is reinforced all around with leather rather than pasteboard. Whether these changes con- stitute Colonel Stanton's improvements is not known. 46.
