Abstract
IN the annual review of the research activities in the field of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. (“Explorations and Field-Work of the Smithsonian Institution in 1937”. Pp. 122), a preliminary announcement is made of the results of twenty-four expeditions, for the most part in geology, biology and anthropology. Some of these were financed wholly by the Institution, others were cooperative undertakings with institutions interested in the promotion of these respective branches of science. Most of the expeditions in 1937 were within the American continent, including the West Indies. Of the expeditions to other continental areas, Mr. H. G. Deignan describes an exploring expedition to Siam for the purpose of observing and collecting specimens of the fauna.
