EXPLAIN FAUNAS' ORIGIN 'Mary Pinchot' Visits Galapagos, Balboa, and Other Islands in Scientific Search. Gifford Pinchot's yachting expe- dition to the south seas, a voyage that was made for scientific investi- gation as well as for pleasure, was described yesterday in a lecture by Dr. Henry A. Pilsbry, curator of mollusks in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, who ac- companied the expedition as na- turalist. Outlines Journey. Dr. Pilsbry outlined, with the aid of motion pictures and lantern slides, the travels of the former Pennsylvania governor's y a c h t, Mary Pinchot, from New York down through the Panama canal and around the Pacific to groups of less known islands that offered the in- vestigators a wide and interesting ground for faunal studies. The expedition, after stops at.Old Providence island, once held by buc- caneers, and at Panama, proceeded out through the Pacific ocean to the Galapagos islands, Dr. Pilsbry ex- plained. Specimens Collected. A great deal of data was collected on the Galapagos group of islands, Dr. Pilsbry said. Among the speci- mens observed were penguins, cor- morants, and the albatross. Both marine and land Iguanas were found. Several giant tortoises were collected. The Galapagos islands have many rare animals, Dr. Pilsbry pointed out. On each island are found varying species of a genera which may appear throughout the group. This new world of animals aided' Da.rwin, who visited the islands in 1835, in formulating his theory of evolution, Dr. Pilsbry said. The two scientific opinions on the origin of the fauna there were ex- plained by Dr. Pilsbry, who also showed the criticism to which each theory is open. Clients Ask 66 Percent More Work During Year Despite Business Conditions. Since the foundation of the de- partment of engineering research in 1921, the department has shown steady growth until today it em- ploys 313 persons, expending $323,- 441.53 annually, and makes service charges of $309,921.62 for work done for clients, according to a recent compilation. During the last year the total work done for clients was 66 per cent more than the previous year in spite of unsettled business condi- tions.

Prof. A. E. White, director of the department, points out in his re- port for 1929-1930 that 170 persons registered as University students were employed and paid $135,495.38, an average of $790.87. In this num- ber were 58 graduate students. It was also mad, possible by the department to add Prof. E. S. Petty- john to the faculty to teach gas en- gineering. $56,544.36 was added to the compensation of 50 members of the faculty during the period. More than $200 was expended from its current account for library books, while $4,584.82 was expended for the various research activities. Research equipment was pur- chased which amounted to $32,- 573.51, practically all of which may be expected to become the Univer- sity's permanent property. Other de- partments of the University were furnished with $5,466.78 for research purposes during the year, and $5,386.02 was used in publishing en- gineering research bulletins, circu- lars and reprints.
